00:00:08A mortal dares stand in the way of the Black Marsh.
00:00:15In the name of Olympus, face divine wrath!
00:00:21That thunder, Zeus, you were reborn as a mortal?
00:00:26Kneel before the power of Olympus.
00:00:31You can't save them!
00:00:33The Wendog has already smelled royal blood.
00:00:37Tonight the curse will devour Orion's soul.
00:00:40The royal court will belong to him.
00:00:45That fight drained too much power.
00:00:47I can't force the thunder again anytime soon.
00:00:50Lord Ethan, your former master left this marriage block for you.
00:00:54Lady Seraphina of the Silver Deer Clan can help you reach the heart of Northern Power.
00:00:59I just came back alive from the Black Marsh, and now you bring me a marriage pact?
00:01:03Get to the point.
00:01:04What is the Wendigo?
00:01:05The Wendigo devours souls, corrupts the royal bloodline, and uses a royal body to return.
00:01:20The royal court gave you ten years.
00:01:23Herbs, offerings, gold, hunting grounds.
00:01:26I gave you everything you asked for.
00:01:28And after all this time, you still don't even know what's wrong with my father.
00:01:32Princess Alara, please show mercy.
00:01:34King Orion's condition is unlike anything we've ever seen.
00:01:36There is nothing we can do.
00:01:38Failing to cure him is not the crime.
00:01:41Lying to this court is.
00:01:42Orin, send the royal blood oath decree to the forest, the lake clans, the wastelands, and
00:01:47the western tribes.
00:01:49As you command.
00:01:51Whoever saves my father will be bound to me by a royal marriage pact.
00:01:54The royal court's granaries, the northern hunting grounds, the salt mines, and three
00:01:58fur trade routes will all be his.
00:02:00Princess Alara, once that decree goes out, every clan will come for it.
00:02:04Then let them come.
00:02:06If my father wakes, I will stake the entire royal court on it.
00:02:10The black marsh spirit is dead, but the curse remains.
00:02:13Someone here brought the Wendau in.
00:02:16Orin, whatever it takes, find someone who can save my father.
00:02:20Princess Lyra, the blood oath decree has already gone out.
00:02:25Hold on.
00:02:27Stranger, who are you?
00:02:29Ethan, a forest healer.
00:02:32The royal court needs someone who can save the king.
00:02:34Not a wandering healer selling tricks at the gate.
00:02:37Ten years ago, your father collapsed once, at the black marsh border.
00:02:44Since then, every new moon and full moon, he falls into a coma.
00:02:47Tonight, once the moon rises, the Wendau curse will eat through his life force.
00:02:51How do you know that?
00:02:53Because this is not an illness.
00:02:54It is the Wendau's curse.
00:02:58One step too late, and the man you're trying to save won't be a king.
00:03:03He'll be a corpse.
00:03:06You're saying my father is cursed?
00:03:09The black marsh Wendigo feeds on souls.
00:03:12The king has no wound on his body, but his soul is being eaten piece by piece.
00:03:17For ten years, the royal court has called healers from every land, and none of them dared make that claim.
00:03:23Why should we believe a stranger with a bag of herbs?
00:03:25Because I just came back from the black marsh.
00:03:29These coins are enough to get you out of the borderlands.
00:03:32If you're just trying to survive, go now, and I'll pretend we never met.
00:03:38You're kind, but kindness won't save you.
00:03:41What is that supposed to mean?
00:03:42Every month, the pain comes back.
00:03:44Around the full moon, it burns so badly you can barely breathe.
00:03:48Princess?
00:03:48You and your father carry the same black marsh curse.
00:03:51You're young, so you can still endure it.
00:03:53King Oron won't last past her moonrise.
00:03:55Can you really save him?
00:03:56Yes.
00:03:59King Oron won't last past her moonrise.
00:04:00I'll take you in.
00:04:01But remember this, you lie to me, my sister will make sure you die inside the royal court.
00:04:06Lead the way.
00:04:11Father, when you led the northern clans into the Black Marsh, everyone lowered their heads at the sound of Ash's
00:04:17war horn.
00:04:18Now every enemy is watching the royal court.
00:04:21If you don't wake up, I'll have no choice but to offer myself through the royal blood oath decree.
00:04:25I'm not afraid of marrying a stranger.
00:04:28I'm afraid you'll never wake up.
00:04:37Princess Alara, we can cure King Orion.
00:04:45Princess Alara, don't lose hope.
00:04:47I can save King Orion.
00:04:50I am Salona, High Healer of Bonecraft.
00:04:54At your service, Princess Alara.
00:04:56This is Meera, a master of sacred runes.
00:04:59And Rowan, a spirit curse healer.
00:05:02Welcome, healers.
00:05:03We came in responses to the royal blood oath decree.
00:05:07Princess Alara, if we wake King Orion, will we truly receive the granaries, the northern hunting grounds, the salt mines,
00:05:14and the fur trade routes?
00:05:15I do not break my word.
00:05:17Then you have nothing to fear, princess.
00:05:20With me here, the king will wake.
00:05:23Then I place my father's life in your hands.
00:05:26I've heard Meera never needs more than three runes.
00:05:29Let's see if that legend holds.
00:05:31The more runes I can bear, the stronger the healing I can channel.
00:05:34An ordinary patient needs one.
00:05:37A gravely wounded royal needs three at most.
00:05:39The runes show the king's body is unharmed.
00:05:45But his life force is almost gone.
00:05:48I have practiced healing for decades.
00:05:50I've never seen a condition like this.
00:05:52Meera, I gave you the first chance, and you wasted it.
00:05:57Step aside.
00:05:58Three breaths.
00:05:59That is all I need to wake the king.
00:06:01Then please begin.
00:06:03My father's life depends on you.
00:06:08His breathing is steady, but the life inside him is nearly gone.
00:06:15Even my bone healing arts cannot wake him.
00:06:19Forgive me, princess Alara.
00:06:21Even the high healer of bonecraft can do nothing?
00:06:24Princess Alara, don't lose hope yet.
00:06:27They may not see the answer.
00:06:30I still can.
00:06:37I can bring the king back from the edge of death.
00:06:40This is my clan's strongest curse pearl.
00:06:43If King Orion has even one breath left, I can pull him back.
00:06:53Stop.
00:06:58You dare interrupt the king's healer?
00:07:00Do you have any idea where you are?
00:07:03Sister, his name is Ethan.
00:07:06He said he can cure father.
00:07:08So I brought him in to try.
00:07:10This is not a village market.
00:07:11A wandering healer has no place near the king's bed.
00:07:14A forest healer in a ragged cloak thinks he can decide King Orion's fate?
00:07:19Sister, I didn't believe him at first either.
00:07:20But the moment he saw me, he knew about the pain I've been hiding.
00:07:24He isn't an ordinary healer.
00:07:26He understands healing arts and he can see curse energy.
00:07:29Father won't survive until nightfall.
00:07:31I can't just stand here and wait for the ancestors to take him.
00:07:34Princess Alara, three healers from the sacred altar are standing right here.
00:07:38Bringing in an outsider is not seeking help.
00:07:41It is, is an insult.
00:07:42He doesn't even carry a complete sacred mark.
00:07:44A man like that can't summon sacred light.
00:07:47You checked his breathing.
00:07:49But you missed the real curse.
00:07:51Your light can heal flesh.
00:07:53It can't reach a soul that has already been hollowed out.
00:07:59The royal court would rather trust a stranger from the forest.
00:08:02Then we have no reason to accept this royal blood oak decree.
00:08:05Rowan, please stay!
00:08:07Your name has reached the west bank and even the north.
00:08:10I believe you can wake my father.
00:08:12As for him...
00:08:15Remove this man from the king's chamber.
00:08:18Guards!
00:08:18Take him out of the royal court!
00:08:23Sister!
00:08:24They can't hurt me.
00:08:26If Princess Alara refuses to listen, I'll leave.
00:08:28But after I'm gone, King Orion will not survive tonight's moonrise.
00:08:34When that happens, not even the gods above will be able to pull his soul back!
00:08:39Trying to scare us with old ancestor tales now?
00:08:42I doubt you can even say what illness King Orion has.
00:08:45Of course I can't.
00:08:46Because King Orion is not sick at all.
00:08:53King Orion has been unconscious on that bed and you claim he isn't sick?
00:08:57Lying in front of a king takes nerve.
00:08:59You're just a wandering healer trying to make your name through the royal decree.
00:09:04Ethan!
00:09:06If you can save father, prove it now.
00:09:09If my sister's oath is not enough, I am willing to join the same marriage pact with you.
00:09:15So that's it.
00:09:16You came for the marriage pact and the royal court's lands.
00:09:20With the three of us here today, we'll expose him for what he is and show the royal court that
00:09:25healing arts are not something anyone can fake.
00:09:27I thought you simply couldn't break the curse.
00:09:30I didn't realize you couldn't even see it.
00:09:32He is under the ancient Wendigo curse.
00:09:34The Wendo curse? What is that?
00:09:36An ancient evil spirit from the depths of the Black Marsh.
00:09:39It feeds on souls, fear, greed, and the blood of kings.
00:09:45At first, the cursed person sleeps, fears the cold, and dreams of black antlers.
00:09:50Then the soul is eaten away piece by piece.
00:09:53Once the soul is gone, he may never truly wake again.
00:09:56The Wendor will wear the king's body and sit on his throne.
00:09:59Then the border royal court will fall into chaos.
00:10:01Every clan will turn on the others.
00:10:04Impossible. You expect the Ash Court to believe that story just because you said it?
00:10:09Princess Alara, remove him at once.
00:10:11The royal decreed and the honor of the Ash Court cannot be dragged down by some wandering fraud.
00:10:17But father's symptoms match everything he said.
00:10:23Ethan, please save my father!
00:10:25Don't touch him yet.
00:10:27According to the old altar scrolls, the Wendig curse is forbidden magic from the deepest part of the Black Marsh.
00:10:33But that curse was sealed inside the Black Marsh 50 years ago by the northern clans.
00:10:38It should not exist anymore.
00:10:40How would a forest healer know about it?
00:10:41Princess Alara, I suspect he was sent by the Black Marsh.
00:10:45He may be the one who brought this curse into the royal court.
00:10:47A fraud like him should be hanged!
00:10:49Ethan, who are you really?
00:10:52Princess Alara, trust me, and I will save the king.
00:10:55Refuse me, and I walk out of the royal court.
00:10:57Sister, if he were with the Black Marsh, he would not have stopped Rowan's curse pearl.
00:11:01The three healers have no answer.
00:11:03Right now, he is our only chance.
00:11:06If Princess Alara trusts a fraud, the royal court may pay the price for it.
00:11:11But in ten years, no one has ever named my father's symptoms this clearly.
00:11:17Ethan, I'll give you one chance.
00:11:20For Princess Alara's trust, I will save King Orion.
00:11:27This room is not safe for removing the curse.
00:11:29If you want him saved, Princess Alara must come with me to the royal bedroom.
00:11:35I knew it.
00:11:36You were never here to save the king.
00:11:38You had your eyes on the princess from the start.
00:11:41I have trained at the sacred altar for years.
00:11:43I have never heard of a cure that must be performed away from everyone else.
00:11:47Princess Alara, he's using the king's illness as an excuse to get close to you.
00:11:50To draw the Wendigo out, I need someone from his bloodline.
00:11:53When royal blood is near, the curse will leave King Orion.
00:11:56If anyone interferes, the curse will panic and panic, finish consuming what's left of the king's soul.
00:12:01Absurd!
00:12:05You lying fraud!
00:12:07I'll expose you right now!
00:12:10Not bad for curse work.
00:12:13Too bad you're not strong enough.
00:12:15Ethan, I'm father's daughter too.
00:12:17Can my bloodline draw the curse out?
00:12:19Yes.
00:12:20Sister, let me go.
00:12:22As long as father wakes, I'll accept any punishment, even if I'm dragged through the streets in chains.
00:12:27You're not going.
00:12:28Sister!
00:12:29I am your older sister, and I am the one holding this court together.
00:12:32It should be me.
00:12:34Oren, take six ironclad knights and guard the door.
00:12:37If anything happens to me, seize Ethan immediately.
00:12:39As you command.
00:12:40If I don't come out, you take control of Ash Royal Court.
00:12:43Put your hands where they don't belong, and I'll kill you before I go to my father.
00:12:46I only save lives.
00:12:48Take the king to the royal bedroom.
00:12:51We begin before moonrise.
00:12:52Until the ritual is over, no one enters.
00:12:56If that door opens, the curse will be startled.
00:12:59King Orion will die.
00:13:01What do I do?
00:13:04Take off your robe.
00:13:05What?
00:13:08Say that again.
00:13:09Remove the outer robe.
00:13:12Unfasten the silver bone belt.
00:13:15Ethan, I gave you a chance to save the king, not a chance to insult my family.
00:13:23The Wendigo follows royal blood.
00:13:25That is how we draw it out.
00:13:27The more you are covered, the harder it is for the curse to sense your bloodline.
00:13:32It won't come out.
00:13:33Every word you say had better be true.
00:13:47See that?
00:13:51Is that enough?
00:13:53Not yet.
00:13:55Move closer to the fire.
00:14:00It senses you.
00:14:04Then let it come out.
00:14:06My body still can't withscam the thunder, but divine light should be enough.
00:14:11If it hurts, make a sound.
00:14:15Save the advice.
00:14:16Blood of the crown, draw it out.
00:14:20It's out.
00:14:21Soul flame, hold it here.
00:14:24It's looking at me.
00:14:25Don't let it reach your eyes.
00:14:28Leave her!
00:14:31Ethan, hurry.
00:14:34Come out!
00:14:44Princess Lyra.
00:14:46Princess Alara is locked inside the royal bedroom with an outsider.
00:14:49Are you truly not worried?
00:14:52My sister gave her order.
00:14:54Until the ritual ends, no one enters.
00:14:57Princess Alara is the current ruler of the royal court.
00:15:00If anything happens to her, Ash royal court will fall apart.
00:15:03Princess Lyra, aren't you afraid he'll take advantage of your sister?
00:15:07My sister trusts him.
00:15:09So do I.
00:15:14Sister!
00:15:15Princess Lyra, did you hear that?
00:15:17That outsider may be hurting Princess Alara.
00:15:19The royal family can still save its honor.
00:15:22Stop him now before it is too late.
00:15:24If you keep waiting, the entire Ash royal court will regret it.
00:15:28Until the ritual is over, no one enters.
00:15:32My sister said no one enters before the ritual ends.
00:15:34I trust my sister.
00:15:36No one can force her into anything.
00:15:40Sister?
00:15:40You heard that.
00:15:41That does not sound like healing.
00:15:44The High Princess's bedchamber is no place for a filthy peasant to satisfy his sick desires.
00:15:50If you don't go in now, it will be too late.
00:15:55Don't let it reach your eyes!
00:15:58Eyes?
00:15:59Princess Lyra, Princess Alara may already be in danger.
00:16:03Without Princess Alarsa's order, the door stays closed.
00:16:08If I don't come out, you take control of Ash royal court.
00:16:13Oren.
00:16:13Princess Lyra.
00:16:15Open the door.
00:16:15But Princess Alara said...
00:16:17I am in command of the Ash court now.
00:16:21Open it.
00:16:26Stand back!
00:16:32Oh!
00:16:40Sister!
00:16:42Careful!
00:16:43Come out!
00:16:47Look at me.
00:16:49Don't look at it.
00:16:56Now!
00:17:00Sister!
00:17:01Ethan, let go of the Princess.
00:17:04Now!
00:17:08Take your hands off me!
00:17:12The ancient Wendigo curse has truly returned.
00:17:15The Black Marsh seal could not have broken on its own.
00:17:18Someone inside the royal court released the Wendau.
00:17:22Sister, are you hurt?
00:17:25Who told you to come in?
00:17:27I hurt.
00:17:28Princess Alara, we all saw what happened.
00:17:30That outsider removed your robe and put his hands on you.
00:17:33Sister, did he really save you?
00:17:35The curse was going for my eyes.
00:17:37He saved me.
00:17:40The curse is gone.
00:17:41Why has my father not woken up?
00:17:43His soul needs time to return.
00:17:45When the Cedar Fire dies down for the third time, he'll wake.
00:17:49Easy to say.
00:17:50And if he doesn't wake?
00:17:51If he doesn't wake,
00:17:53the Wendrig will rip this entire court apart
00:17:55and destroy all of us.
00:17:58This matter is finished.
00:18:00Finished?
00:18:01I still have an old marriage pact to settle.
00:18:03Marriage contract?
00:18:05You crossed a line with Princess Alara,
00:18:07and now you think you can leave?
00:18:09Until the king wakes,
00:18:10you are not taking one step out of here.
00:18:12Before King Aryan wakes, you'd better stay.
00:18:15Otherwise, I can't promise you'll leave this room alive.
00:18:17If I want to leave,
00:18:19no one here can stop me.
00:18:21Stop.
00:18:23Stop.
00:18:24Stop.
00:18:25Father!
00:18:27Father is awake!
00:18:29Who is this?
00:18:31You weren't sick.
00:18:33You were under a Wendigo curse.
00:18:35A Wendog curse?
00:18:38Ethan removed the curse and saved your life.
00:18:43You're young, but your healing is extraordinary.
00:18:47Bring it in.
00:18:48This seal grants rights to the salt mines,
00:18:50and this is the Border Court's Blackstone token.
00:18:53With this token,
00:18:54you will be treated as an honored guest of the crown.
00:18:57Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:18:59You saved my life, Ethan.
00:19:01Please accept this small token of gratitude.
00:19:05You are too kind, Your Majesty.
00:19:07I don't save people because of rank.
00:19:09I save them because I choose to.
00:19:11Since you have saved my father,
00:19:12I will honor my promise.
00:19:15I will honor the royal marriage pact with you.
00:19:19Princess Alara, I appreciate your kindness,
00:19:21but I am already bound by an ancient marriage pact
00:19:24with Lady Serafina of the Silverstag Clan.
00:19:26The appointed time is almost here.
00:19:27I should leave.
00:19:31It seems you and Ethan were not meant for each other.
00:19:34If that is so, I will not force him to stay.
00:19:37Ethan, from now on, whenever you need anything,
00:19:40the Border Court will stand with you.
00:19:43There is one thing I need your help with.
00:19:45The Border Court has power and reach.
00:19:47Help me find the one who released the Wendog curse.
00:19:50Help me put an end to that person
00:19:52and bring peace back to the Northern clans.
00:19:53I will.
00:19:54I swear I will find whoever did this.
00:19:57I will take my leave.
00:20:01Your Majesty, since you are safe now,
00:20:03we will leave you to rest.
00:20:04The three healers have done their part.
00:20:06Prepare a generous gift for each of them.
00:20:11Father, the curse has only just been lifted.
00:20:14You should rest.
00:20:15I can investigate where the Wendog curse came from.
00:20:17Alara, in the North,
00:20:19there has only ever been one enemy.
00:20:21The Black Raven Clan.
00:20:23In the North, only the Black Raven Clan
00:20:24stands as an equal to our court.
00:20:26But I never thought they would dare curse me under my own roof.
00:20:31Then it is time we settle the score.
00:20:33Wait!
00:20:34What is it?
00:20:35Ethan said he has an ancient marriage pact
00:20:37with Lady Serafina of the Silverstag Clan.
00:20:39But tonight, the Silverstag Clan's marriage pact
00:20:41is with Cassian, heir of the Black Raven Clan.
00:20:45Don't panic.
00:20:46The Black Raven Clan may have brought trouble on itself this time.
00:20:50Father, why do you say that?
00:20:52A hundred years ago,
00:20:53the Black Marsh curse was burned away
00:20:55by the thunder of the old gods.
00:20:57Few people now even know of the Wendogoo curse,
00:20:59let alone how to break it.
00:21:00But Ethan, young as he is,
00:21:03saw the curse and pulled my soul back from the Black Marsh.
00:21:07He carries ancient thunder power.
00:21:09Ancient thunder?
00:21:10He really isn't an ordinary forest healer.
00:21:12Behind him, there may be a god.
00:21:15If the Silverstag Clan truly holds his old marriage pact,
00:21:19then they have a blessing they may never deserve.
00:21:20The Silverstag Clan has grown weak over the years.
00:21:24All they know is how to bow to stronger clans.
00:21:27The Black Raven Clan controls the northern trade roads
00:21:29and iron mines.
00:21:30They have grown so arrogant,
00:21:32they have forgotten the Ash Court.
00:21:33The Silverstag Clan will reject Ethan when he arrives.
00:21:37I'll go help him.
00:21:46The Silverstag Clan finally bet the nay.
00:21:48Marrying into the Black Raven Clan
00:21:49is Seraphina's good fortune.
00:21:50I heard she already had an old marriage pact.
00:21:53A pact from years ago.
00:21:53That won't stop the Black Raven Clan.
00:22:14The Silverdeer Chieftains are here.
00:22:19I heard Seraphina made an old marriage pact years ago.
00:22:23Then why is she entering a marriage alliance
00:22:24with the Black Raven Clan tonight?
00:22:27The Black Raven Clan controls the northern iron mines
00:22:29and trade roads.
00:22:30Who would dare refuse them?
00:22:31For a small clan,
00:22:32tying themselves to Black Raven
00:22:34is an opportunity others would kill for.
00:22:39My daughter Seraphina was indeed saved
00:22:42by an outsider years ago.
00:22:43And the old chief of the Overstair Clan
00:22:44did arrange an old marriage pact for her.
00:22:46But the man who swore that oath is long dead.
00:22:48As chief of the Silverstair Clan,
00:22:50I will not allow anyone to use an old pact
00:22:52to trade on our name.
00:22:53The Silverstag Clan is using Black Raven
00:22:55to survive while abandoning an old oath.
00:22:57Everyone should look carefully
00:22:58at whose banner hangs here
00:23:00before speaking.
00:23:01The Silverstag Clan cannot afford Black Raven's wrath
00:23:04and neither can any of you.
00:23:05If that forest haemur does not show up,
00:23:07the old oath can still keep
00:23:09what little dignity it has left.
00:23:11If he dares come,
00:23:12Black Raven will crush him into the mud.
00:23:16Who said they would crush me into the mud?
00:23:22Who are you?
00:23:23My name is Ethan.
00:23:24I have come to fulfill my marriage pact
00:23:26with Seraphina.
00:23:30I didn't think you would actually dare come.
00:23:32A wandering healer from the Black Marsh border
00:23:34really thinks he can enter a marriage pact
00:23:36with Seraphina?
00:23:36Even a mud-soaked nobody
00:23:38thinks he can look up at a silver gare now.
00:23:42Ethan, since you came,
00:23:44I'll make this clear.
00:23:45Your old marriage pact with Seraphina is void.
00:23:47I, Aldric, declare it.
00:23:49Do you know the old Silverstag chief
00:23:50begged for this pact
00:23:51before the ancestral altar?
00:23:53The Silverstag Clan is no longer
00:23:55what it was 16 years ago.
00:23:58Today, the Silverstag Clan
00:23:59has tied itself to Black Raven.
00:24:01What are you, a wandering healer,
00:24:03compared to that?
00:24:04Our Seraphina is going to marry Cassian,
00:24:05heir of the Black Raven Clan.
00:24:07And you, some border healer
00:24:08with a medicine bag,
00:24:09think you can cling to her
00:24:10with an old pact?
00:24:11Look at yourself.
00:24:13Mud, blood, and poverty all over you.
00:24:18So the stray dog found a bigger kennel.
00:24:21No wonder it barks so loudly.
00:24:25Ethan, I'm warning you,
00:24:27don't push this too far.
00:24:29You are just holding an old pact
00:24:31someone handed you
00:24:32trying to force your way
00:24:33into the Silverstag Clan.
00:24:35The Silverstag Clan
00:24:37does not want to humiliate you completely.
00:24:40Take these coins
00:24:41and crawl back
00:24:41to the Black Marsh border.
00:24:44Ethan, someone shoved
00:24:45that old plot into your hands.
00:24:46That does not mean
00:24:47Seraphina must marry you.
00:24:49The old chief
00:24:50who made that oath
00:24:51is dead.
00:24:52The Silverstag Clan
00:24:53now answers to Aldric.
00:24:55You clearly don't understand.
00:24:56This pact carries a blood oath
00:24:58sworn before the ancestors
00:24:59and the old gods.
00:25:00Break it
00:25:01and Thunder will answer.
00:25:02The Silverstag Clan
00:25:04will pay in blood.
00:25:06Thunder will answer?
00:25:07Really?
00:25:09Ridiculous.
00:25:09Stop hiding behind
00:25:10old gods and dead men.
00:25:12Tonight this pact dies
00:25:14and we can afford the price.
00:25:16Does Lady Seraphina
00:25:18think the same?
00:25:29Yes.
00:25:34Ethan,
00:25:35you should not have come today.
00:25:39Lady Seraphina,
00:25:40you also think
00:25:41I came here
00:25:41to use the Silverstag name?
00:25:44What else would it be?
00:25:47The Silverstag Clan
00:25:49is returning to power.
00:25:50Now we are forming
00:25:51a marriage alliance
00:25:52with the Black Raven Clan.
00:25:54You came dragging out
00:25:55an old pact from years ago
00:25:56because you want to use
00:25:57our name
00:25:58to force your way
00:25:59into Northern Robility.
00:26:00This old marriage pact
00:26:01exists, yes,
00:26:02but it was an old oath
00:26:03left by the former chief.
00:26:04The man who swore it
00:26:05is dead.
00:26:06Now my father
00:26:07rules the Silverstag Clan
00:26:08and I have already agreed
00:26:10to marry Cassian,
00:26:10heir of the Black Raven Clan.
00:26:12He can bring the Silverstag Clan
00:26:13back into Northern power.
00:26:14You are nothing.
00:26:15You cannot give
00:26:16the Silverthor Clan
00:26:17a future.
00:26:17I will be the Lady
00:26:18of Black Raven Hulk
00:26:19and you are just
00:26:20a wandering healer
00:26:20from the Black Marsh border.
00:26:22The entire north
00:26:23stands between us.
00:26:24I have never seen
00:26:24someone make betrayal
00:26:25sound so dignified.
00:26:28Ethan,
00:26:29who do you think you are?
00:26:30You have no right
00:26:31to lecture the Silverstag Clan.
00:26:33I would rather marry
00:26:34a dog from the stables
00:26:35than marry a man like you!
00:26:39You're just a border healer
00:26:40from the Black Marsh
00:26:41and you really think
00:26:42the gods chose you
00:26:43and you dream
00:26:45of marrying my daughter?
00:26:46Wake up!
00:26:47This pact was sworn
00:26:48by the Silverstag
00:26:49ancestors themselves.
00:26:50I did not come today
00:26:51to beg for your approval.
00:26:53I came to end this pact.
00:26:55Today, I withdraw
00:26:56from this pact.
00:26:57Once I severed it,
00:26:58the Silverstag Clan
00:26:59will bear the consequences.
00:27:00Your banner will fall
00:27:01and your bloodline
00:27:02will suffer.
00:27:04At my daughter's wedding feast,
00:27:05a border healer
00:27:06dares curse
00:27:07the Silverthor Clan?
00:27:08Guards!
00:27:09Drag him out!
00:27:13Your disaster
00:27:14is already here
00:27:15and you are still laughing.
00:27:18Ethan, enough!
00:27:19He brought this on himself.
00:27:31Someone is causing trouble
00:27:33inside Black Raven Keep?
00:27:37Let's see how
00:27:38a border healer
00:27:39plans to bring disaster
00:27:40on the Silverstag bloodline.
00:27:43On this land,
00:27:44there are nobles,
00:27:45vassals,
00:27:46and gutter-borne trash.
00:27:48The Black Raven Clan
00:27:49stands at the top.
00:27:51The Silverthag Clan
00:27:52is noble.
00:27:53And you,
00:27:54a border healer
00:27:55from the Black Marsh,
00:27:56think you can step
00:27:57into a noble wedding feast?
00:27:59Do you even deserve it?
00:28:01Who are you?
00:28:03Cassian of the Black Raven Clan!
00:28:07Never heard of you.
00:28:09Do you have a death wish?
00:28:11Be smart.
00:28:12Cancel the contract
00:28:12and get out a Black Raven Healer.
00:28:14Otherwise,
00:28:15I'll skin you
00:28:16and hang you
00:28:17on the Black Raven Gate.
00:28:22A pact witnessed
00:28:23by Ancient Thunder
00:28:24is not yours to touch.
00:28:27The Divine Thunder Healer's
00:28:28old oath
00:28:29and a border healer
00:28:30like you
00:28:30thinks you can claim it?
00:28:32Cassian,
00:28:33who is the Divine Thunder Healer?
00:28:36The Divine Thunder Healer
00:28:38is the source
00:28:38of ancient healing arts.
00:28:40Legend says
00:28:41that power came from Zeus,
00:28:42King of Olympus.
00:28:44They say he hides
00:28:45in the ruins of Olympus.
00:28:46He can bring souls back
00:28:47and decide life or death.
00:28:49He can also summon thunder
00:28:50and cleanse Black Marsh curses.
00:28:55In the North,
00:28:56that name is forbidden.
00:29:00Sadly,
00:29:02that kind of power
00:29:04would never fall
00:29:04on a border healer
00:29:06from the Black Marsh.
00:29:10The Divine Thunder Healer?
00:29:13Does that power
00:29:14really exist?
00:29:20And this contract?
00:29:21Anyone who falsely invokes
00:29:23the Divine Thunder Healer
00:29:24and offends
00:29:24the old gods of Olympus
00:29:25will suffer divine backlash.
00:29:27Even a royal bloodline
00:29:28can wither.
00:29:29Their banner will fall.
00:29:31If you steal Thunder's name,
00:29:33True Thunder will come
00:29:33to judge you.
00:29:34You're making it sound
00:29:35more dramatic than it is.
00:29:38But my healing
00:29:38is a little stronger
00:29:39than an ordinary healer's.
00:29:43I was talking about
00:29:44the Divine Thunder Healer.
00:29:46What does that have
00:29:46to do with you?
00:29:47Ethan,
00:29:48if you don't leave now,
00:29:49I really won't be able
00:29:51to protect you.
00:29:52Seraphina,
00:29:53the former Silverstag chief,
00:29:54begged for this pack
00:29:55at the old gods' altar.
00:29:56He knelt for seven days
00:29:58to secure it.
00:29:58It was a lifeline
00:29:59for the Silverstag clan.
00:30:01And this is how you treat it?
00:30:02Today,
00:30:04I, Seraphina,
00:30:05turn my back
00:30:06on this old oath.
00:30:10What can you do about it?
00:30:13I will be the one
00:30:15to break this pact.
00:30:21We're destroying
00:30:22this worthless pact today.
00:30:24What are you going to do about it?
00:30:28The pact is broken.
00:30:31Zeus' punishment begins now.
00:30:36You really believe
00:30:37your own act,
00:30:38don't you?
00:30:40You think you're Zeus,
00:30:42Riorne?
00:30:44Zeus' punishment?
00:30:45The Silverstag clan
00:30:46is rising with Black Raven.
00:30:48You are the one
00:30:48waving around a torn old pact
00:30:49and scamming people.
00:30:51If anyone deserves punishment,
00:30:52it's you.
00:30:52Please.
00:30:53You spent too much time
00:30:54at the Black Marsh border
00:30:55and now you think
00:30:56you can call down
00:30:57divine punishment?
00:31:02Ethan,
00:31:03open your eyes
00:31:04and watch closely.
00:31:05From this day on,
00:31:06I stand under
00:31:07the Black Raven banner.
00:31:08No one in the north
00:31:09can touch me.
00:31:10Even if Zeus' punishment exists,
00:31:11what can it do
00:31:12to the Silverstag clan?
00:31:13Zeus' punishment
00:31:14has already begun.
00:31:17Every member of the Silverstag clan
00:31:19carries the curse.
00:31:21You're hopeless.
00:31:22The Silverstag hunting grounds
00:31:24will fall.
00:31:25Your clan treasury
00:31:26will be empty.
00:31:27Assault mines,
00:31:28mountain roads,
00:31:29and fur trade routes
00:31:30will all be lost.
00:31:35The Silverstag clan
00:31:36is not some easy target.
00:31:38Who are you?
00:31:39A border healer
00:31:40to threaten me with loss.
00:31:42The Silverstag clan
00:31:43could crush you
00:31:44without effort.
00:31:45Ethan,
00:31:46this is all about money,
00:31:48isn't it?
00:31:48There's a full bag
00:31:49of gold coins in here.
00:31:51Enough for you to live on
00:31:51for the rest of your life.
00:31:56Take the money
00:31:57and leave.
00:31:58Don't delay my wedding
00:31:59with Lady Serafina.
00:32:03Stop it.
00:32:04You've seen one corner
00:32:05of the world
00:32:06and think you own the sky.
00:32:08Black Raven clan
00:32:09rules the north.
00:32:10If I want you dead,
00:32:12no one here
00:32:13will dare keep you alive.
00:32:15You're already at
00:32:16death's door
00:32:16and you're still talking.
00:32:38Princess Alara!
00:32:41Speak.
00:32:42News from Black Raven Keep.
00:32:44Cassian publicly
00:32:45humiliated Ethan
00:32:46at the wedding feast.
00:32:47Cassian?
00:32:48The Silverstag clan
00:32:49also tore up
00:32:50the old marriage bad
00:32:50in public
00:32:51and tried to drive
00:32:52Ethan out of the keep.
00:32:53They dared insult Ethan?
00:32:54They must have a death wish.
00:32:56To Black Raven Holt.
00:32:58Now.
00:33:00Even with death
00:33:01staring you in the face,
00:33:03you still act tough.
00:33:04Today,
00:33:05I'll teach you
00:33:06how the north works.
00:33:14Zeus's punishment
00:33:15has begun.
00:33:18Zeus's punishment
00:33:19really happened.
00:33:21Could he really be
00:33:22Zeus reborn?
00:33:23The Silverstag clan
00:33:24offended Zeus reborn.
00:33:25They're finished,
00:33:26aren't they?
00:33:27Impossible!
00:33:29Zeus is the king
00:33:30of Olympus.
00:33:31Even Black Raven
00:33:32only knows his name
00:33:32from legend.
00:33:33How could this man
00:33:34possibly be Zeus?
00:33:36In front of me,
00:33:38the Black Raven clan
00:33:39is nothing but
00:33:40small men
00:33:41pretending to be kings.
00:33:42Ethan!
00:33:43What did you do to us?
00:33:46This is Zeus's punishment.
00:33:48You'd better start
00:33:48making peace
00:33:49with your gods.
00:33:51You're not leaving!
00:33:52I'll cut you down myself!
00:33:54The healer Phelan
00:33:55has arrived.
00:34:06Ethan!
00:34:07Ethan,
00:34:07Phelan is one of
00:34:08the north's sacred healers.
00:34:09He serves the Black Raven clan.
00:34:11He has saved more lives
00:34:12than you've ever touched.
00:34:13With him here,
00:34:14your cheap tricks
00:34:15mean nothing.
00:34:17Master Healer Phelan
00:34:18is here!
00:34:19We're saved!
00:34:21We're saved!
00:34:22We're saved!
00:34:23We're saved!
00:34:23We're saved!
00:34:23We're saved!
00:34:23We're saved!
00:34:24We're saved!
00:34:25I came with a gift.
00:34:27To celebrate the wedding
00:34:28of Cassian,
00:34:29heir of the Black Raven clan.
00:34:31Celebrate what?
00:34:32My bride's whole family
00:34:33was nearly killed
00:34:34by this border healer.
00:34:35Look at them!
00:34:36Now!
00:34:37Someone dares harm
00:34:37Lord Cassier's bride
00:34:38and her family
00:34:39at his own wedding feast.
00:34:40Bold!
00:34:41I'll warn you once,
00:34:42stay out of this.
00:34:42You can't save them
00:34:43and you don't want
00:34:44to get dragged in.
00:34:45You look like
00:34:46you've studied healing
00:34:47for a few years.
00:34:48Too bad your heart
00:34:49has rotten.
00:34:50You dare curse people
00:34:51at Lord Cassian's
00:34:52wedding feast.
00:34:53Ethan,
00:34:53your cheap little tricks
00:34:54are nothing
00:34:55before Master Healer Felmyk.
00:34:57Some people only learn
00:34:58when death is at their door.
00:35:00First Holy Seal,
00:35:01open the body.
00:35:03Sacred Light,
00:35:04drive out the curse!
00:35:06Second Holy Seal,
00:35:08steady the soul.
00:35:09Life,
00:35:10return to the body.
00:35:12Third Holy Seal,
00:35:14lock the darkness.
00:35:15Turn back death.
00:35:16Find the soul.
00:35:25Lord Cassian,
00:35:26the Holy Seals are complete.
00:35:27They're safe now.
00:35:29I really feel fine.
00:35:31I don't feel any pain at all.
00:35:33Master Healer,
00:35:34Felon,
00:35:35your power is extraordinary.
00:35:36Ethan,
00:35:37this is real healing.
00:35:38A border healer
00:35:39like you can't compare.
00:35:41After coughing up
00:35:42that black blood,
00:35:42I feel so much lighter.
00:35:44The pain is gone too.
00:35:46Thank you,
00:35:46Master Healer Felon.
00:35:48Your healing is unmatched.
00:35:51Lady Myra,
00:35:52your family were merely
00:35:53under a dark curse.
00:35:54I've suppressed it
00:35:55with Holy Seals.
00:35:56You're all fine now.
00:35:58Thank you,
00:35:59Master Healer Felon.
00:36:01Ethan,
00:36:01you despicable border fraud.
00:36:03You dared put a dark curse on us?
00:36:06Kneel and apologize!
00:36:07Now!
00:36:08Master Healer Felman
00:36:10has already exposed
00:36:10your little curse trick.
00:36:12Now it's time
00:36:13we settle our score.
00:36:14Exactly.
00:36:15You people truly are shameless.
00:36:17So now that you've been exposed,
00:36:19you're lashing out?
00:36:20I am Zeus Reborn.
00:36:21I don't rely on cheap curses.
00:36:25He only delayed
00:36:26Zeus' punishment
00:36:27for one minute.
00:36:31Stop trying to scare us.
00:36:32Give up now.
00:36:34Otherwise,
00:36:34I'll make sure
00:36:35there's nothing left of you.
00:36:38Your Holy Seals
00:36:39have some use.
00:36:40But Zeus' punishment
00:36:41cannot be undone.
00:36:43Young man,
00:36:44I admit your curse work
00:36:45is not bad.
00:36:46Too bad you chose
00:36:47the wrong path.
00:36:49All you know
00:36:49is how to scare people
00:36:50with cheap curses.
00:36:53Zeus may be
00:36:54the legendary king of gods,
00:36:56and his punishment
00:36:57may be feared.
00:36:58But no one alive
00:37:00has truly seen it.
00:37:01Every curse
00:37:02can be contained.
00:37:03Today,
00:37:03I'll show you.
00:37:05You'd better come over here
00:37:06and apologize.
00:37:07Otherwise,
00:37:08I'll teach you
00:37:08how to crawl like a dog.
00:37:13You're not worth my time.
00:37:17All talk.
00:37:18Lord Cassian,
00:37:19don't dirty your hands
00:37:20with this arrogant fool.
00:37:21Let me handle him.
00:37:22Leave him alive.
00:37:23I'm not done playing yet.
00:37:26Zeus' punishment
00:37:27begins in 30 seconds.
00:37:28Still playing God?
00:37:31I've practiced healing
00:37:32for over 30 years.
00:37:34I've seen every kind of trick.
00:37:35I'll seal your body
00:37:37and leave you crippled.
00:37:38Let's see how long
00:37:39you keep talking.
00:37:41Looks like Master Healan
00:37:42is serious now.
00:37:44That Border Healer
00:37:45is finished.
00:37:46What a shame.
00:37:46He's still young.
00:37:47He chose the wrong road.
00:37:48He brought this on himself.
00:37:50Ten seconds.
00:37:52At least you can count down
00:37:53to your own death.
00:37:56Three.
00:37:59First Holy Seal.
00:38:01Lock his legs.
00:38:14Second Holy Seal.
00:38:15Lock your throat.
00:38:17Let's see you keep
00:38:18playing God now.
00:38:20Third Holy Seal.
00:38:21Seal your whole body.
00:38:23Punish your arrogance.
00:38:25Kneel!
00:38:27One.
00:38:37This is impossible.
00:38:39You border heather.
00:38:41What did you do to me?
00:38:42Zeus' punishment
00:38:43cannot be reversed.
00:38:45Know your place.
00:38:50Is this Zeus' punishment?
00:38:53You really are
00:38:55Zeus' reborn?
00:39:02What happened to
00:39:03Master Healer Felon
00:39:03was too strange.
00:39:05Was that really
00:39:05Zeus' punishment?
00:39:07Legend says
00:39:08Zeus commands thunder
00:39:09and rules life and death.
00:39:11Master Healer Felon
00:39:12dared stand against Zeus.
00:39:13No wonder
00:39:13this happened to him.
00:39:16Zeus?
00:39:17Him?
00:39:18Everyone,
00:39:19you've been fooled
00:39:19by his Black Marsh sorcery.
00:39:21Zeus' punishment?
00:39:22It's a scare tactic.
00:39:23That was clearly
00:39:23a forbidden Black Marsh spell,
00:39:25a lost curse technique.
00:39:26He is not Zeus.
00:39:26He is a Black Marsh heretic.
00:39:29That's right.
00:39:29My grandfather once spoke
00:39:30of the Black Marsh calamities.
00:39:32Those dark arts
00:39:33are known for disguising
00:39:34themselves as divine punishment.
00:39:36He used Black Marsh sorcery
00:39:37to impersonate Zeus.
00:39:38The Black Marks
00:39:39on the ground are proof.
00:39:40A man like this
00:39:42must be driven
00:39:43out of the North.
00:39:44Master Healer Felon
00:39:45served Black Roven
00:39:46for years
00:39:47and saved countless
00:39:48noble bloodlines.
00:39:50And today,
00:39:51he was harmed
00:39:52by a Black Marsh heretic.
00:39:54If we allow a heretic
00:39:55like this to run free,
00:39:57today Master Healer Felon
00:39:59falls,
00:39:59tomorrow it could be
00:40:00all of you.
00:40:01And your clans.
00:40:05Your parents,
00:40:07your wives,
00:40:08your children,
00:40:08he'll come for all of them.
00:40:11Are you done?
00:40:17Zeus' punishment
00:40:18owes you no explanation.
00:40:22Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:24Protect the North!
00:40:26Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:28Protect the North!
00:40:30Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:31Protect the North!
00:40:37I'm curious.
00:40:38If this Black Marsh forbidden spell
00:40:40has been lost for years,
00:40:41how did you recognize it
00:40:42at a glance?
00:40:44Have you seen it before?
00:40:46Lord Cassian was right.
00:40:48This Black Marsh heretic
00:40:49is panicking.
00:40:50So now he's trying
00:40:51to pull others down with him.
00:40:52He's trying to pull
00:40:53the Black Raven clan
00:40:55into this.
00:40:56Everyone stay alert.
00:40:58Seize this Black Marsh heretic.
00:41:07Insolent Black Marsh heretic.
00:41:10You harmed my disciple.
00:41:15Surrender at once.
00:41:18Ethan,
00:41:20your death has come.
00:41:29Another one coming to die.
00:41:40It's Master Healer Averius!
00:41:42Felon's Master.
00:41:43Averius is nearly a hundred years old
00:41:45and his healing
00:41:45is beyond anything we know.
00:41:46I heard that when he was young
00:41:48he even received guidance
00:41:49from Zeus' legacy.
00:41:50That Black Marsh heretic
00:41:52is dead.
00:41:53Ethan,
00:41:54Aurarius is unmatched
00:41:55in healing.
00:41:55The North calls him
00:41:56a living saint.
00:41:57Now that he's here,
00:41:58you can wait to die.
00:42:00Compared with Zeus,
00:42:01I am only a mortal.
00:42:02The gap is beyond measure.
00:42:04Guided by Zeus' oracle
00:42:05and still blind.
00:42:07Meeting you here
00:42:07must be fate.
00:42:08Young man,
00:42:09you may be gifted
00:42:10to Master Forbidden Black Marsh
00:42:11Arts at your age,
00:42:12but you chose
00:42:12the wrong path.
00:42:13You harmed my disciple,
00:42:14impersonated Zeus,
00:42:15abused Black Marsh's source
00:42:16and brought disaster
00:42:17to the North.
00:42:17For that,
00:42:17you deserve death.
00:42:18You've lived all these years
00:42:19and you still can't see
00:42:20who is standing in front of you.
00:42:21Insolent Black Marsh heretic!
00:42:23You've lived this long.
00:42:24How is your mouth
00:42:25still so reckless?
00:42:26Face me in three trials.
00:42:28If you win,
00:42:29I'll guarantee your safe exit
00:42:30from Black Raven Keep today.
00:42:32Use whatever tricks you have.
00:42:33No one has ever survived
00:42:34even one move
00:42:35from Aurarius.
00:42:36You're dead today.
00:42:40Good.
00:42:42Blood Mist takes shape.
00:42:44Bones of Hatred rise.
00:42:46Nine Shadows gather.
00:42:47Poisoned souls strike.
00:42:49Cheap tricks?
00:42:50And you dare show them to me?
00:42:59Holy Seal,
00:43:00form the bones.
00:43:01Sacred Light become chains.
00:43:03Triple lock.
00:43:03By the Sacred Altar,
00:43:05bind him.
00:43:06Boy,
00:43:07these are my Sacred Light chains.
00:43:08You're finished.
00:43:10Is that all you've got?
00:43:12Ancient Wood, hear me.
00:43:14What?
00:43:14Sacred Vines, awaken.
00:43:15Life returns to the root.
00:43:16Earth, bind his body.
00:43:18Green Vines, hold him fast.
00:43:19Go!
00:43:26This is my Ancient Wood spell.
00:43:29Once the Sacred Vines
00:43:30bind the body,
00:43:31not even a beast
00:43:32can break free.
00:43:34Let's see how you escape
00:43:35this time.
00:43:47Sacred Light or Ancient Wood,
00:43:49before me it all turns to dust.
00:43:56That Black Marsh heretic is brutal.
00:43:58He broke Master Healer's Aurelius' Ancient Wood spell.
00:44:00Are you done?
00:44:02From this day on,
00:44:04I formally end my marriage pact
00:44:06with the Silverstag Clan.
00:44:07From this moment on,
00:44:08we have nothing to do with each other.
00:44:11I am Zeus Reborn.
00:44:13If you don't believe me,
00:44:14go ask King Orion.
00:44:15Ethan,
00:44:16cursing people and pretending to be Zeus
00:44:17was bad enough.
00:44:18Now you dare use King Orion's name too?
00:44:20I didn't expect a border healer
00:44:21like you to know so much.
00:44:23Yes,
00:44:23King Orion did wake up today.
00:44:26But the man who saved King Orion
00:44:28could never be a Black Marsh heretic
00:44:29like you.
00:44:30Even Averius may not be able
00:44:31to break King Orion's Wendiglow curse.
00:44:33You?
00:44:33How could you possibly
00:44:34have saved King Orion?
00:44:35We should seize this Black Marsh heretic
00:44:37before he spreads more lies
00:44:38and causes more trouble
00:44:39inside Black Ravenhold.
00:44:42Guards!
00:44:42Take this Black Marsh heretic down!
00:44:51Let's see who dares.
00:44:55Anyone who disrespects Lord Ethan.
00:45:02Isn't that Princess Allara,
00:45:04eldest daughter of the Royal Court?
00:45:05I heard Ash Royal Court
00:45:06and the Black Raven clan
00:45:07have been at odds for years.
00:45:08Why would she come here?
00:45:10Princess Allara just called him Lord.
00:45:12Was he really the one
00:45:13who woke King Orion?
00:45:14Princess Allara,
00:45:15the Silverstag clan
00:45:16should have welcomed you properly.
00:45:18Please forgive us.
00:45:19Princess Allara,
00:45:20today we caught a Black Marsh heretic
00:45:21pretending to be Zeus Reborn.
00:45:23He even claimed he saved King Orion.
00:45:25Since you're here,
00:45:26we'll leave him to you.
00:45:26Princess Allara,
00:45:27it has been a long time.
00:45:29I heard King Orion woke today.
00:45:30I haven't had time to visit
00:45:31and congratulate you.
00:45:32How about this?
00:45:33I'll hand this fake Black Marsh heretic
00:45:34over to you as a congratulatory gift.
00:45:36You say he is a Black Marsh heretic
00:45:37pretending to be Zeus Reborn?
00:45:40Exactly.
00:45:40This Black Marsh heretic
00:45:41used dark sorcery
00:45:42and killed Felon,
00:45:43the Black Raven clan's personal healer.
00:45:44He also badly injured
00:45:45Master Healer Orarius,
00:45:46Felon's master.
00:45:47Everyone here witnessed it.
00:45:49I, Cassian,
00:45:49swear I'm telling the truth.
00:45:51Princess Allara,
00:45:52this man is a Black Marsh heretic.
00:45:54Please decide what should be done with him.
00:45:55Are you finished?
00:45:59King Orion woke
00:46:01because Lord Ethan saved him.
00:46:06You called the man
00:46:07who saved the king
00:46:08a Black Marsh heretic?
00:46:13Anyone who dares touch him again
00:46:15becomes an enemy
00:46:16of Ash Royal Court.
00:46:23Open your eyes
00:46:24and look carefully.
00:46:25This is Lord Ethan,
00:46:27the man who saved my father.
00:46:29He really is the one
00:46:29who woke King Orion.
00:46:30Princess Allara herself confirmed it.
00:46:32We wrongly accused
00:46:32that Black Marsh heretic.
00:46:34No, we wrongly accused
00:46:35Lord Ethan.
00:46:36How is that possible?
00:46:38Princess Allara,
00:46:39could you be mistaken?
00:46:40He's just a border healer
00:46:41from the Black Marsh.
00:46:42How could he have saved
00:46:44King Orion?
00:46:44This man knows
00:46:45Black Marsh sorcery.
00:46:46He knows how to deceive people.
00:46:48He is no true healer.
00:46:50What?
00:46:51Should Lord Ethan
00:46:52have invited all of you
00:46:53to stand there
00:46:54and watch while he saved my father?
00:46:55I call you princess
00:46:56out of respect
00:46:57for Ash Royal Court.
00:46:58Today you came
00:46:59to my wedding feast
00:47:00and humiliated my bride
00:47:01to be in public.
00:47:02Tomorrow,
00:47:02will you bring soldiers
00:47:03into Black Raven Held
00:47:04and trample our banner?
00:47:05Today,
00:47:06no matter who comes,
00:47:07this border healer
00:47:08stays here.
00:47:10You truly don't know
00:47:11when to stop.
00:47:13Ash Royal Court
00:47:14is nothing...
00:47:15I have never feared
00:47:16the Black Raven Clan.
00:47:21Listen carefully.
00:47:23Lord Ethan saved
00:47:24my father today.
00:47:25He is the benefactor
00:47:26of Ash Royal Court.
00:47:27Disrespect him
00:47:28and you disrespect
00:47:29Ash Royal Court.
00:47:30Lord Ethan,
00:47:32let's go.
00:47:33Wait!
00:47:40Even if Ethan
00:47:41saved King Orion,
00:47:42he still cursed
00:47:43my bride's family
00:47:43and injured
00:47:44the Black Raven Clan's
00:47:45personal healers.
00:47:46That is also a fact.
00:47:48Alara, you may leave.
00:47:49I won't stop you.
00:47:50But Ethan stays here.
00:47:52You reminded me.
00:47:53I still have
00:47:54unfinished business
00:47:54with the Silver Stair Clan.
00:47:56You still dare talk big!
00:47:58The Silver Stair Clan
00:47:58has not survived
00:47:59all these years
00:47:59by being scared.
00:48:00You're only hiding
00:48:01behind Princess Alora.
00:48:02Have you forgotten
00:48:02you're just a border healer?
00:48:03Isn't hiding behind power
00:48:05what the Silver Stair Clan
00:48:06does best?
00:48:07Ethan, don't push your luck.
00:48:08Don't think
00:48:09Princess Alora's presence
00:48:10means you can walk
00:48:11out that door.
00:48:12A nest of fools
00:48:12walking into death.
00:48:14Zeus's punishment.
00:48:23You still dare attack?
00:48:24They broke the ancient
00:48:25marriage pact
00:48:26with their own hands.
00:48:27This is the punishment
00:48:29they earn.
00:48:32Do you still think
00:48:33this is Black Marsh sorcery?
00:48:44Lord Morvayna,
00:48:46the Black Raven Clan
00:48:47wants Ash Royal Courts,
00:48:48Salt Mines,
00:48:49and Forests,
00:48:50but they refuse
00:48:51every offer we make.
00:48:53Please plant a curse
00:48:54in that old king.
00:48:55Let me take
00:48:56Ash Royal Court
00:48:57for myself
00:48:58and fulfill my ambition.
00:49:02Darion,
00:49:03do you have
00:49:03a death wish?
00:49:05How dare you
00:49:06tell me what to do?
00:49:08I wouldn't dare.
00:49:09Everything will be
00:49:10as you command.
00:49:11Have your son
00:49:11bring Lady Seraphina
00:49:12of the Silver Stag Clan
00:49:13back here.
00:49:14Once I use her
00:49:15Frostbloodland
00:49:15to forge the final
00:49:16curse seed,
00:49:17you'll get your reward.
00:49:18Cassian is at the wedding
00:49:19with the Silver Stag Clan
00:49:20right now.
00:49:20In less than an hour,
00:49:21Seraphia will be brought
00:49:22deep into Black Raven Hope.
00:49:24After that,
00:49:25she is yours.
00:49:28Divine punishment,
00:49:29so that's what happened.
00:49:30Zeus Reborn
00:49:31helped King Orion
00:49:32pull out my curse.
00:49:35Wait.
00:49:38If you rush
00:49:39to your son's
00:49:39wedding feast now,
00:49:40you may still bring him
00:49:41back in one piece.
00:49:42Otherwise,
00:49:43not even a god
00:49:44can save him.
00:49:45Remember this.
00:49:46Do not provoke
00:49:47the young man
00:49:47with the medicine gulp.
00:49:48You cannot have
00:49:49to cross him.
00:49:50Thank you for the warning,
00:49:51my lord.
00:49:58Father!
00:49:59Mother!
00:50:00What's wrong,
00:50:01Mother?
00:50:02Don't scare me!
00:50:04Seraphina,
00:50:05are you alright?
00:50:07Ethan,
00:50:07you vile coward.
00:50:09You did this
00:50:10to my family.
00:50:11You...
00:50:12Seraphina,
00:50:13don't talk.
00:50:13Breathe.
00:50:16Cassian,
00:50:17my chest hurts.
00:50:18I can't hold on.
00:50:21If I die,
00:50:23then you must be.
00:50:24Seraphina!
00:50:25This is what happens
00:50:26when you break
00:50:27an ancient marriage
00:50:27chapter.
00:50:29What?
00:50:30You want to try too?
00:50:31If I don't kill you today,
00:50:33my name isn't Cassio.
00:50:37Stop!
00:50:41Ethan,
00:50:42my father is here.
00:50:43You're dead.
00:50:46Do you know
00:50:47who my father is,
00:50:48men in the north?
00:50:49Darion,
00:50:50chief of the Black Raven clan.
00:50:51One of the most
00:50:52ruthless men in the north.
00:50:53Under him,
00:50:53the Black Raven clan
00:50:54has taken plenty
00:50:55of salt mines and forests.
00:50:56Now they dare stand
00:50:57against Ash Royal Court.
00:50:58Darion is ruthless.
00:51:00People who offend him
00:51:01tend to disappear
00:51:01without explanation.
00:51:02Be careful.
00:51:04So what?
00:51:05What happened here?
00:51:07Father,
00:51:08you have to stand up for me.
00:51:10My wedding feast
00:51:11with Seraphina
00:51:11was going perfectly.
00:51:13Then this border healer
00:51:14named Ethan
00:51:14ruined everything.
00:51:15He used Black Marsh
00:51:16sorcery to hurt people.
00:51:18He left the Silverstag family
00:51:19half dead
00:51:20and badly injured
00:51:21Master Healer Felon
00:51:21and Master Healer Arrarius.
00:51:23I wanted to hold him
00:51:24accountable,
00:51:24but Alara keeps protecting
00:51:26this Black Marsh heretic.
00:51:27Father,
00:51:27now that you're here,
00:51:28you have to make this right.
00:51:30Is that true?
00:51:32Every word.
00:51:33If I lied,
00:51:33may thunder strike me down.
00:51:36Chief Darion,
00:51:37the Silverstag clan
00:51:38broke an ancient marriage pact
00:51:40and insulted Lord Ethan.
00:51:41Zeus' punishment fell on them.
00:51:43They brought this on themselves.
00:51:45Or are you only listening
00:51:47to your son's side?
00:51:48No, father.
00:51:49You know me.
00:51:50I never start trouble outside.
00:51:52It was this Black Marsh heretic
00:51:54who attacked innocent people.
00:51:55He hurt your future in-laws.
00:51:57If I let this insult stand,
00:51:58everyone will think
00:51:59the Black Raven clan
00:52:00has no strength left.
00:52:04Are you here to avenge
00:52:05the Silverstag clan
00:52:06and defend your son too?
00:52:08If you rush to your son's
00:52:10wedding feast now,
00:52:11you may still bring him
00:52:12back in one piece.
00:52:13Otherwise,
00:52:14not even a god can save him.
00:52:16Remember this.
00:52:16Do not provoke the young man
00:52:18with the medicine gore.
00:52:19You cannot have to cross him.
00:52:20Thank you for the warning,
00:52:21my lord.
00:52:24Father,
00:52:24you have to stand up for me.
00:52:26You Black Marsh heretic.
00:52:27You die today.
00:52:37Father,
00:52:38what are you doing?
00:52:39He hurt our people.
00:52:41You hit me instead of him?
00:52:44How many times have I told you,
00:52:45keep your head down outside.
00:52:47There is always someone
00:52:48more powerful.
00:52:49If Lord Ethan
00:52:50hadn't shown you mercy today,
00:52:52you would already be dead
00:52:53with nothing left to bury.
00:52:55Father,
00:52:55you're out of your mind.
00:52:56This Black Marsh heretic
00:52:57hurt our people first.
00:52:59He started this.
00:52:59That slap
00:53:00was for being too blind
00:53:02to recognize divine power.
00:53:04Father,
00:53:05have you lost your mind?
00:53:08That slap
00:53:09was for causing trouble
00:53:10and never learning your lesson.
00:53:12Father,
00:53:12what are you doing?
00:53:14He...
00:53:14And that slap
00:53:15was for your arrogance.
00:53:17You almost destroyed
00:53:18the entire Black Raven clan.
00:53:31What?
00:53:32Darion chief of the Black Raven clan
00:53:33is kneeling before
00:53:34a border healer?
00:53:35My father has never
00:53:36bowed to anyone.
00:53:38Father,
00:53:38people kneel before
00:53:39the Black Raven clan.
00:53:40How can you
00:53:41kneel for him?
00:53:42Shut up!
00:53:43Do you know who he is?
00:53:47Lord Ethan,
00:53:48this is the seal
00:53:50to the Black Raven treasury.
00:53:51There are 100,000
00:53:52gold coins inside.
00:53:54Consider it
00:53:54my son's apology gift.
00:53:55And the matter
00:53:56of the Silverstag clan?
00:53:57The Silverstag clan
00:53:58broke an ancient marriage pact
00:53:59and mocked a power
00:54:00they didn't understand.
00:54:01They sealed
00:54:02their own fate.
00:54:04What happened today
00:54:06will never leave this room.
00:54:07The Black Raven clan
00:54:08will make sure
00:54:09this never affect
00:54:10Lord Ethan.
00:54:10Lord Ethan,
00:54:12please accept
00:54:12the treasury seal.
00:54:14You think this is enough
00:54:15to buy your son's life?
00:54:20The Black Raven clan
00:54:22also has ancient relics,
00:54:23mine deeds,
00:54:24warhorses,
00:54:24and jewels.
00:54:25Please accept them all,
00:54:26Lord Ethan.
00:54:27I only ask you
00:54:28to spare my son today.
00:54:31Father,
00:54:32are you insane?
00:54:33You're kneeling
00:54:33and apologizing
00:54:34to our enemy?
00:54:36Guards,
00:54:36lock him up.
00:54:39Father!
00:54:41Lord Ethan,
00:54:43does this arrangement
00:54:44satisfy you?
00:54:45You have more sense
00:54:46than he does.
00:54:46Fine.
00:54:47I came today
00:54:48only to end
00:54:48the Silverstag marriage pact.
00:54:50The rest of our debts
00:54:50can wait.
00:54:52Thank you for sparing us,
00:54:53Lord Ethan.
00:55:04If anyone leaks
00:55:05a single word
00:55:06of what happened today,
00:55:07if anyone leaks
00:55:07a single word
00:55:08of what happened today,
00:55:09you kill them.
00:55:14Princess Alara,
00:55:15did you come to Black Raven
00:55:16hope because
00:55:17King Orion's curse returned?
00:55:20Father is well.
00:55:21Thank you for asking,
00:55:22Lord Ethan.
00:55:23After you left
00:55:23the royal court,
00:55:24Father learned that
00:55:25Seraphina's marriage partner
00:55:26tonight was Cassian.
00:55:27The Black Raven clan
00:55:28is a top power
00:55:29in the north.
00:55:30They are not as strong
00:55:30as Ash Royal House,
00:55:31but they cannot be
00:55:32underestimated.
00:55:33After the Silflog clan
00:55:34tied themselves
00:55:35to Black Raven,
00:55:36they became
00:55:37even more argant.
00:55:38Father was worried
00:55:39you would be humiliated here,
00:55:40so he sent me
00:55:41to help you.
00:55:42These two families
00:55:43are blind.
00:55:44They failed to recognize
00:55:45your true identity
00:55:46and nearly harmed you.
00:55:47It's nothing.
00:55:48What can a few Black Ravens
00:55:49and Silverstocks do to me?
00:55:52Princess Alara,
00:55:53you came here
00:55:54for another reason.
00:55:55Father sent me
00:55:56to investigate
00:55:56the one who released
00:55:57the curse.
00:55:58We have a lead.
00:55:59Lord Ethan,
00:56:00please return
00:56:01to the Royal Court
00:56:01with me.
00:56:02Ash Royal Court
00:56:03truly rules the north.
00:56:05You found a lead
00:56:05this quickly.
00:56:07Lord Ethan,
00:56:08please.
00:56:12How many times
00:56:13did I tell you
00:56:14to keep your head down?
00:56:15But you never listen.
00:56:16Now look at this.
00:56:17The wedding feast
00:56:18is ruined.
00:56:19The Silverstag clan
00:56:20is half dead.
00:56:21How do you plan
00:56:22to clean this up?
00:56:28She's just one girl
00:56:29from Silverstag.
00:56:30Is she really
00:56:31that important?
00:56:32There are plenty
00:56:33of clans in the north
00:56:33dying to marry
00:56:34into Black Raven.
00:56:35Are you telling me
00:56:36it has to be Seraphina?
00:56:37What do you know?
00:56:39Seraphina has
00:56:39a rare frost bloodline.
00:56:41Lord Morvayne
00:56:42specifically wanted her.
00:56:44Bringing her
00:56:45into the Black Raven clan
00:56:46was the most important part.
00:56:48Your arrogance
00:56:48and blindance
00:56:49ruined something
00:56:49that mattered.
00:56:50Is it really
00:56:51that mystical?
00:56:53I don't believe
00:56:53the Black Raven clan
00:56:54falls apart
00:56:55without Seraphina.
00:56:57And today
00:56:58was already enough.
00:56:59Zeus reborn,
00:57:00divine punishment.
00:57:01Now some Black Marsh
00:57:02curse lord shows up too.
00:57:04Does this ever end?
00:57:06Lord Morvayne,
00:57:07my son is reckless
00:57:07and speaks without thinking.
00:57:09Please forgive him.
00:57:10I will find another way
00:57:11to bring Seraphina back.
00:57:13Father,
00:57:13you're the chief
00:57:14of the Black Raven clan.
00:57:15Even King Aron fears you.
00:57:17Why are you kneeling
00:57:18to this masked man?
00:57:24What did you do to me?
00:57:28She knew to keep
00:57:29your mouth shut.
00:57:32Please spare my son.
00:57:35Darian,
00:57:35have you forgotten
00:57:36who raised
00:57:37the Black Raven clan
00:57:38to where it is today?
00:57:40I would never forget.
00:57:41Without your help,
00:57:41the Black Raven clan
00:57:42would be nothing.
00:57:43Please spare my son.
00:57:44As chief of the Black Raven clan,
00:57:45you couldn't even
00:57:46bring me Seraphina.
00:57:47Perhaps the Black Raven clan
00:57:48no longer deserves
00:57:49my support.
00:57:49Father,
00:57:50help me.
00:57:51Mercy,
00:57:51my lord.
00:57:52I've served you
00:57:52faithfully for years.
00:57:53Please give me
00:57:54one more chance.
00:57:55You have one more chance.
00:57:57Fail again
00:57:57and you die.
00:57:58Command me,
00:57:59my lord.
00:57:59I will do whatever
00:58:00it takes.
00:58:02King Aron's
00:58:03second daughter,
00:58:04Princess Lyra.
00:58:06She carries
00:58:07royal blood,
00:58:08soul flame,
00:58:08and Black Marsh
00:58:09curse energy.
00:58:10She is an even better
00:58:11vessel for a new
00:58:11curse seed
00:58:12than Seraphina.
00:58:13Princess Lyra
00:58:14is inside
00:58:14Ash Royal Court.
00:58:15The guards there
00:58:16are tight.
00:58:17She is not
00:58:18in the royal court.
00:58:20She is in the
00:58:21east tower
00:58:22of your Black Raven clan
00:58:23right now.
00:58:25In 15 minutes,
00:58:26I want her standing
00:58:27before me.
00:58:28Otherwise,
00:58:28you know what
00:58:29happens.
00:58:30I understand.
00:58:31I understand.
00:58:36Lord Ethan,
00:58:37you're here.
00:58:38Please sit.
00:58:39No need for
00:58:40formalities.
00:58:41Treat this as
00:58:41your own home.
00:58:43King Orion,
00:58:44didn't I tell you
00:58:44to rest?
00:58:45Why are you
00:58:46pushing yourself?
00:58:47Thanks to you,
00:58:48Lord Ethan,
00:58:48I'm already much
00:58:49better.
00:58:52When you treated
00:58:53me,
00:58:53you said the
00:58:54illness came
00:58:54from the
00:58:55Wendigo curse.
00:58:56You asked me
00:58:57to investigate
00:58:57who planted it
00:58:58and tell you
00:58:59once I found
00:58:59a lead.
00:59:00I came as
00:59:01soon as I
00:59:01found something.
00:59:02King Orion,
00:59:04speak plainly.
00:59:05Ten years ago,
00:59:06when my mother
00:59:07passed away,
00:59:08Ash Royal Court
00:59:09had just begun
00:59:10rising.
00:59:11We were blocked
00:59:12at every turn.
00:59:13On my way back
00:59:13to the Royal Court,
00:59:14I met an old man
00:59:15in a black robe.
00:59:16He said we were
00:59:16faded and gave me
00:59:17a jar of Black Marsh
00:59:18herbs for free.
00:59:19He told me the herbs
00:59:20must not be boiled
00:59:21or drank.
00:59:23If the herbs
00:59:23weren't for drinking,
00:59:24what were they for?
00:59:25To place at the
00:59:26bedside and ward
00:59:27off evil.
00:59:28And then?
00:59:29Then,
00:59:30everything began
00:59:31going smoothly
00:59:31for Ash Royal Court.
00:59:34After that,
00:59:35it became one of
00:59:35the strongest courts
00:59:36in the North.
00:59:37Lord Ethan,
00:59:37you truly see
00:59:38through everything.
00:59:39From that day on,
00:59:40I would lose
00:59:40consciousness from
00:59:41time to time
00:59:42until I met
00:59:43you,
00:59:43Lord Ethan.
00:59:44Those were not
00:59:44soul-calming herbs.
00:59:46They carried
00:59:46the Wendigo curse.
00:59:47The price of Ash Royal
00:59:48Court's rise was
00:59:49the royal bloodline
00:59:50being drained
00:59:50while the court
00:59:51was destroyed
00:59:51from within.
00:59:56Lord Ethan,
00:59:58you saved
00:59:58my family's lives.
01:00:00After I woke up,
01:00:01that jar of
01:00:02Black Marsh herbs
01:00:03disappeared.
01:00:04I searched my memory
01:00:05and found a clue
01:00:06to that person.
01:00:08We learned that
01:00:09the last place
01:00:09he appeared
01:00:10was the Black Marsh
01:00:11border.
01:00:12The Black Marsh
01:00:13border?
01:00:14Isn't that where
01:00:15the Wendigo is sealed?
01:00:16I remember now,
01:00:17when that old man
01:00:18in the black robe
01:00:19gave me the Black
01:00:19Marsh herbs,
01:00:20he asked me
01:00:21if I wanted
01:00:21revenge.
01:00:26Revenge?
01:00:27What was that about?
01:00:28Back then,
01:00:29the herbs
01:00:29and gold coins
01:00:30meant to save
01:00:31my mother's life
01:00:32were stolen
01:00:32by bandits
01:00:33on the road.
01:00:34Her treatment
01:00:35was delayed.
01:00:36In the end,
01:00:37she still
01:00:38passed away.
01:00:42So that was
01:00:43when you met
01:00:43the old man
01:00:44in the black robe?
01:00:45I was in despair
01:00:45when I met him.
01:00:47The first thing
01:00:48he asked
01:00:48was whether
01:00:48I wanted revenge.
01:00:50Did you ever
01:00:51see him again
01:00:51after that?
01:00:53Never.
01:00:54So he knew
01:00:55what you wanted most.
01:00:58I remember
01:00:59something else.
01:01:00Father,
01:01:00please tell us
01:01:01everything at once.
01:01:02That old man
01:01:02wore a black robe
01:01:03with a black cloak
01:01:04over it.
01:01:05On the cloak,
01:01:06there was a very clear
01:01:07Black Sun emblem.
01:01:11There's a curse
01:01:12in the tea.
01:01:12Don't drink it!
01:01:18Lord Ethan,
01:01:19how is Alara?
01:01:21Princess Alana
01:01:21was hit by the curse
01:01:22in the tea.
01:01:23She'll be safe for now.
01:01:26But the curse
01:01:27inside Princess Alana
01:01:28is a soul-linked curse.
01:01:30It is different
01:01:31from the Wendiko curse
01:01:32that was inside you.
01:01:33If the soul stays
01:01:34in the body,
01:01:34the person lives.
01:01:35If not,
01:01:36the body can be
01:01:37taken over.
01:01:38The source of this curse
01:01:39is not inside
01:01:39Princess Alara.
01:01:40What?
01:01:41Alara drank the herbal tea.
01:01:42How can the source
01:01:42not be inside her?
01:01:43Lord Ethan,
01:01:44please tell me!
01:01:44The curse seed
01:01:45is inside Princess Lyra.
01:01:49Lord Morvane,
01:01:50as you requested,
01:01:52I brought her here.
01:01:56Who are you?
01:01:56What do you want?
01:01:57Don't be afraid,
01:01:58Princess Lyra.
01:01:59I simply wanted
01:02:00to invite you for tea
01:02:01and a little talk.
01:02:02Catch up?
01:02:03I don't even know you!
01:02:04And who dies?
01:02:06You may not know me,
01:02:07but your father,
01:02:08King Arion and I
01:02:09are old friends.
01:02:11Without my Black Marsh medicine,
01:02:13Ash Royal Court
01:02:13would never have become
01:02:14the strongest court
01:02:15in the North.
01:02:16In other words,
01:02:17in the North,
01:02:18I decide who live.
01:02:20My father may have
01:02:21taken your medicine,
01:02:22but Ash Royal Court
01:02:23rose because of him.
01:02:24What does that
01:02:25have to do with you?
01:02:26I helped, didn't I?
01:02:27I'm only collecting
01:02:28what King Arion owes me.
01:02:32Give Princess Lyra
01:02:34that tea.
01:02:39What are you doing?
01:02:40I...
01:02:40Drink it.
01:02:41No more talking.
01:02:49One soul,
01:02:50two lives.
01:02:52Bind their pain.
01:02:53Link them across distance.
01:02:55Life and death as one.
01:02:58What...
01:02:59What did you do to me?
01:03:01Nothing much.
01:03:02Just a soul-linked curse.
01:03:04This curse connects
01:03:05your life with Alara's.
01:03:06If her curse is removed,
01:03:08you die.
01:03:09But if it isn't removed,
01:03:10your sister dies in one hour.
01:03:13Now, I want to see
01:03:14which daughter
01:03:15King Arion chooses to save.
01:03:17Princess Alara
01:03:18or you?
01:03:21You're disgusting.
01:03:23Don't worry.
01:03:24I'm only playing
01:03:25with your royal court.
01:03:26If I wanted you dead,
01:03:28you wouldn't survive today.
01:03:30Send Princess Lyra back.
01:03:34May I speak with
01:03:35Princess Lyra alone?
01:03:37I need to settle
01:03:38a small score from today.
01:03:39Do as you like.
01:03:40Thank you,
01:03:41Lord Morvain.
01:03:44Princess Lyra,
01:03:45let's go.
01:03:46I'll send you home.
01:03:51The curse seed
01:03:52is inside Princess Lyra.
01:03:53If I remove
01:03:54Princess Alara's curse,
01:03:55Princess Lyra
01:03:55will suffer the entire time
01:03:56and may even die.
01:03:57But if I don't remove it,
01:03:58in one hour,
01:03:59Princess Alara
01:03:59will itch all over,
01:04:00bleed from her eyes
01:04:01and mouth and die.
01:04:02King Arion,
01:04:02Morvain is forcing you
01:04:03to choose.
01:04:04Save Princess Alara
01:04:05or save Princess Lyra?
01:04:07Unforgivable.
01:04:08Cursing me wasn't enough
01:04:08and now he's coming
01:04:09after my daughters.
01:04:10But Lord Ethan,
01:04:11if we're saving them,
01:04:12we have to find Lyra
01:04:12within the hour.
01:04:13No need.
01:04:14Princess Lyra is already here.
01:04:16What?
01:04:17Here?
01:04:18She just went to
01:04:19the Black Raven Clan's
01:04:20East Tower Trading House.
01:04:21She can't be here.
01:04:22Your Majesty,
01:04:23something happened.
01:04:24Princess Lyra was badly wounded
01:04:25and dumped outside
01:04:25the royal court gate.
01:04:27Put her down.
01:04:28Send people to watch
01:04:29the Black Raven Clan.
01:04:35Already done.
01:04:36Father.
01:04:38Lyra, what happened?
01:04:39Yesterday,
01:04:40I was reviewing
01:04:40an old contract
01:04:41at the Black Raven Clan's
01:04:43East Tower Trading House.
01:04:44Darion interrupted
01:04:45the meeting
01:04:46and had his men
01:04:46take me to a secret room
01:04:48inside Black Raven Keep.
01:04:53Darion,
01:04:53Cassian,
01:04:54and a masked man
01:04:55tortured me.
01:04:57That masked man
01:04:58placed a curse
01:04:59inside me.
01:05:01Lord Ethan,
01:05:01please save my sister.
01:05:04Princess Lyra,
01:05:05don't be afraid.
01:05:06I'm here.
01:05:09Darion must have
01:05:10a death wish.
01:05:11He dared lay hands
01:05:12on my daughter.
01:05:14Lyra,
01:05:15you said Darion
01:05:15and his son
01:05:16worked with a masked man
01:05:17to curse you.
01:05:18Yes.
01:05:19His name was
01:05:20Morvain.
01:05:23Morvain.
01:05:24Just as I thought.
01:05:25Darion wanted
01:05:25to curse me
01:05:26and kill me.
01:05:27I'll make him
01:05:28pay for this.
01:05:29King Orion,
01:05:29the priority is
01:05:30saving both princesses.
01:05:31Revenge can wait
01:05:31until they're safe.
01:05:32But because of
01:05:33the soul link curse,
01:05:34only one of them
01:05:34can be saved.
01:05:35Do you have a way?
01:05:36Take me to the bedroom.
01:05:37I have a plan.
01:05:39Orin is the one
01:05:40Morvian cursed
01:05:40and controlled.
01:05:42Lyra is clean.
01:05:44Morvian must be
01:05:45using Orin
01:05:45to watch us.
01:05:50No.
01:05:52We need to draw
01:05:52Morvian.
01:05:53King Orion,
01:05:54no matter what
01:05:54happens in this room
01:05:55later,
01:05:56don't let anyone
01:05:56come in.
01:05:57And please,
01:05:58prepare some
01:05:58fresh mint leaves
01:05:59for me.
01:06:00Orin,
01:06:01follow Lord
01:06:01Ethan's instructions.
01:06:04Dear Majesty,
01:06:05fresh mint doesn't
01:06:06grow this season.
01:06:08I'll handle it
01:06:09right away.
01:06:10I'll leave this
01:06:11to you,
01:06:11Lord Ethan.
01:06:16I don't know
01:06:17how much longer
01:06:18my body can hold out.
01:06:22Lord Ethan,
01:06:23the man who cursed us
01:06:25said only one of us
01:06:26can live.
01:06:26Is that true?
01:06:27Yes.
01:06:29Then save my sister.
01:06:30She's stronger than I am,
01:06:32just like father.
01:06:33I believe she can take
01:06:34Ash Royal Halt
01:06:35further than I ever could.
01:06:36Princess Lyra,
01:06:37don't worry.
01:06:38Normally the soul link
01:06:39curse allows only one
01:06:39person to live,
01:06:40but I don't follow
01:06:41normal rules.
01:06:42Both of you will be fine.
01:06:43Lord Ethan,
01:06:44you can save both of us?
01:06:45Yes.
01:06:46But the curse
01:06:47is easy to break.
01:06:49The evil inside people
01:06:50is much harder.
01:06:51What do you mean?
01:06:53I'll break the curse first.
01:06:54After Princess Lyra wakes,
01:06:56we'll talk.
01:06:56Lie down,
01:06:57close your eyes,
01:06:58and remove your outer robe.
01:07:07Thunderlight of Zeus,
01:07:08separate their souls.
01:07:11Darkness,
01:07:12withdraw.
01:07:13Life,
01:07:13return.
01:07:14Souls,
01:07:15return to your bodies.
01:07:16Soul link curse,
01:07:17break apart!
01:07:21Watch out!
01:07:25Watch out!
01:07:29Ethan,
01:07:30you're more capable
01:07:30than I expected.
01:07:32You broke the soul link curse.
01:07:33In this world,
01:07:34only you could do that.
01:07:35No wonder you're Zeus reborn.
01:07:39He has also been cursed
01:07:41by Morvan.
01:07:42Morvane,
01:07:43let Orin go!
01:07:46Hand over the curse seed
01:07:48inside King Orion.
01:07:50Try leaving here alive.
01:07:52Your curse seed
01:07:53is right here.
01:07:55Ethan!
01:07:56What a waste!
01:07:59You wasted something
01:08:00that precious
01:08:01just to break a curse.
01:08:04You're beyond saving.
01:08:06Unforgivable!
01:08:07Ethan!
01:08:09Lord Ethan,
01:08:10please save Orin.
01:08:12Orin,
01:08:12hold on.
01:08:14Break free
01:08:14from Morvena's control.
01:08:16Princess Lyra,
01:08:17my mind is clearer
01:08:18than ever.
01:08:19You never should have
01:08:20brought this man back.
01:08:22He ruined everything.
01:08:24I'm sorry.
01:08:25I can't save him.
01:08:27What?
01:08:28Even you can't save him?
01:08:30If even you can't,
01:08:32who can?
01:08:35A curse can be broken,
01:08:36a rotten heart cannot.
01:08:39Only he can save himself.
01:08:41Even a god
01:08:41couldn't do it for him.
01:08:43What do you mean?
01:08:47Orin was never cursed.
01:08:49He was sent here
01:08:50to kill both of you.
01:08:55Orin has served father
01:08:57for years.
01:08:58He watched us grow up.
01:08:59Why would he want
01:09:00to kill us?
01:09:02Do you remember
01:09:03what I said
01:09:03before breaking the curse?
01:09:05I remember.
01:09:07You said curses
01:09:08are easy to break
01:09:08but the human heart
01:09:09cannot be healed.
01:09:10Lord Ethan,
01:09:11what is going on
01:09:12with Orin?
01:09:13The problem begins
01:09:14with your father.
01:09:15King Orion
01:09:16is at the center of this.
01:09:18If I'm right,
01:09:18King Orion sent him
01:09:19to kill you.
01:09:21No.
01:09:22That's impossible.
01:09:23I must still be dreaming.
01:09:25Sister,
01:09:26pinch me.
01:09:27Wake me up.
01:09:29Lord Ethan,
01:09:29this is not something
01:09:30you joke about.
01:09:31Ask Orin,
01:09:32then you'll know.
01:09:35The black flame mark
01:09:37behind his ear
01:09:37was put there by himself
01:09:38so I would notice it
01:09:39while he led the way.
01:09:40At first,
01:09:41I thought he had been cursed
01:09:42when he met Princess Lyra
01:09:43at the gate.
01:09:43I thought Morvan
01:09:44was using him
01:09:45to watch us.
01:09:46But other than
01:09:47the soul link curse,
01:09:48I found no sign
01:09:48of any other curse
01:09:49on Princess Lyra.
01:09:50And Morvan
01:09:51is confident enough now
01:09:52that if he wanted
01:09:53to kill us,
01:09:53he wouldn't need
01:09:54such a complicated setup.
01:09:55So the problem
01:09:56lies with your father.
01:09:57Princess Alera,
01:09:58your father did not
01:09:58tell us the truth.
01:09:59Lord Ethan is more
01:10:00than a divine healer.
01:10:01He can see the whole board.
01:10:03Princess is Lyra.
01:10:04Your biggest mistake
01:10:05was bringing him back
01:10:05to cure the king.
01:10:06His majesty was about
01:10:07to become a god.
01:10:08And your love for your father
01:10:09ruined his plan.
01:10:12What did you say?
01:10:13This was all father's plan?
01:10:15His coma was staged?
01:10:16That can't be true.
01:10:17We brought so many
01:10:18sacred healers to father
01:10:19and none of them
01:10:19could break his curse.
01:10:20Your father's curse was real.
01:10:22Those so-called sacred healers
01:10:23truly couldn't see
01:10:24what was wrong with him.
01:10:25But your father and Morvan
01:10:26have a deep connection.
01:10:27When I woke your father,
01:10:28I disrupted their plan.
01:10:30Since you're all about to die,
01:10:31I might as well
01:10:31tell you the truth.
01:10:32His majesty sought out
01:10:33Morvan himself for immortality
01:10:35and swallowed the Black Marsh
01:10:36curse seed willingly.
01:10:37The day the curse seed
01:10:38breaks out of his body
01:10:38is the day his majesty
01:10:39leaves his mortal body behind
01:10:40and becomes immortal.
01:10:42And Ethan ruined it.
01:10:44No.
01:10:45No.
01:10:46Father would never do that.
01:10:47Nothing is impossible,
01:10:48Princess Lyra.
01:10:49You are too kind
01:10:51and far too easy to fool.
01:10:53In your next life,
01:10:54fix that weakness.
01:10:58It's done.
01:11:06Morvain,
01:11:07I handled Ethan for you.
01:11:09When do I get
01:11:09the Black Marsh curse seed
01:11:11you promised me?
01:11:12You are as ruthless as ever.
01:11:13For immortality,
01:11:14you sacrificed your wife.
01:11:16Now you are willing
01:11:17to sacrifice your daughters.
01:11:18Wolves do not preach mercy.
01:11:20Great things require sacrifice.
01:11:21I want to see how much use
01:11:22the body of Zeus reborn still has
01:11:24and what kind of curse seed
01:11:26it can reform.
01:11:27You are as ruthless as ever.
01:11:51Where is my curse seed?
01:11:56Lord Morvan, that boy said he turned your soul link curse into medicine
01:12:00Damn boy, you even dared turn my curse seed into medicine
01:12:08Zeus's thunderlight
01:12:09So he really isn't an ordinary border healer
01:12:12Morvan, I delivered the man you wanted
01:12:14Now according to our deal, give me the real Black Marsh curse seed
01:12:18What deal?
01:12:20You're betraying me? I gave you Ethan and both of my daughters?
01:12:23You promised me the real Black Marsh curse seed
01:12:26You promised to help me become immortal
01:12:29Orion, have you forgotten who put you on that throne?
01:12:33I took you from a fallen Roarline and made you king of the north
01:12:36And now you bring me a few corpses and think you can bargain?
01:12:41You promised me, once I gave you Ethan, you would help me become immortal
01:12:45Their lives are worthless, if I want them dead, they die
01:12:48You're the one who betrayed blood and oath
01:12:50You sacrificed your wife, then your daughters, and now you still want immortality?
01:12:54You're too greedy
01:12:55I can give you all of Ash Royal Court
01:12:58Salt mines, hunting grounds, take whatever you want
01:13:02And what makes you think I care about any of that?
01:13:05Right now, he is worth more than you
01:13:09Zeus's reborn body and the remains of the curse seed he refined are far more useful than your old bones
01:13:16What do you want?
01:13:17Don't ask what I want
01:13:21Ask what you still have
01:13:26What if I offer every resource Ash Royal Court has?
01:13:29Ash Royal Court is now the strongest court in the north
01:13:32Wasn't I the one who put you on that throne?
01:13:34I can make you king and I can make someone else king
01:13:38You know exactly why I chose you back then
01:13:41Because my queen had a rare frost bloodline
01:13:43You wanted to use her as a sacrifice for your soul link, Kurt
01:13:47You wanted my queen's life, and I gave it to you
01:13:50I gave you my daughters too
01:13:52What else do you want?
01:13:54Without your blood relatives, you're nothing to me
01:13:58You
01:14:01I forgot
01:14:03You still have one loyal dog
01:14:10If you want to touch the king, you go through me first
01:14:13You want to fight me?
01:14:15You don't even know how weak you are
01:14:19Say it!
01:14:20What do you want?
01:14:21Orion, so many royal families begged me back then
01:14:23Why did I choose a fallen prince like you?
01:14:26Because you wanted my queen's bloodline
01:14:28That was only part of it
01:14:29I chose you because you were ruthless
01:14:31You dared to give things up
01:14:32You dared to gamble
01:14:33Just like now
01:14:34All I have now is Ash Royal Court
01:14:37And every resource in the north
01:14:39If you want them
01:14:42Take them
01:14:43Think harder
01:14:44What else do you still have?
01:14:47I have nothing left now
01:14:51You want my life
01:14:52So you finally understand, yes
01:14:55I want your life
01:14:56Your majesty
01:14:59Run
01:15:05Such loyalty
01:15:07Such a worthless death
01:15:14Hello, Morvain
01:15:17Or should I call you
01:15:19Brother
01:15:22Nothing is impossible, Princess Lyra
01:15:26You're too kind and far too trusting
01:15:28In your next life, fix that weakness
01:15:33You think you can take my life?
01:15:35This can't be real
01:15:36I don't believe it
01:15:37Lyra, wake up
01:15:38This is real
01:15:39Since our father wants us dead
01:15:42We need to decide what we do next
01:15:44I just used true thunder
01:15:45Orin can only tell the truth now
01:15:47Ask him anything you want
01:15:50Orin
01:15:50Was everything you said just now true?
01:15:53Every word
01:15:54Did you know Princess Lyra was tortured by the Black Riven clan and Morvain?
01:15:59His majesty deliberately sent Princess Lyra to the Black Riven clan's East Tower trading house
01:16:03To investigate an old contract
01:16:05Princesses
01:16:05We are already inside the trap
01:16:08Let's hear how many more secrets King Aran and Morvain are hiding
01:16:10We'll follow your lead, Lord Ethan
01:16:15Princesses, forgive me
01:16:41Brother
01:16:42Brother
01:16:42Those little tricks of yours won't kill me
01:16:45Morvain, I've already sealed this room with a thunder barrier
01:16:48Don't waste your strength
01:16:49Your Black Marr curses won't work here
01:16:51Surrender
01:16:51No wonder you are Zeus reborn
01:16:53So the power of the old gods really did fall to you
01:16:56But crushing you would take no effort
01:16:57I'm not done playing yet, so I'll let you live today
01:17:00Goodbye
01:17:13King Aran
01:17:15What happened today is a matter for Ashcord
01:17:17I won't interfere
01:17:18But there are things you need to tell the truth about
01:17:21You all heard it
01:17:24We heard
01:17:24Father, you were willing to trade all our lives for your immortality and your throne
01:17:28Do you even deserve to be our father?
01:17:31King Aran
01:17:32That curse cannot make you immortal
01:17:33It cannot make you a god
01:17:35It will only keep feeding on your soul and your family's souls until your house is destroyed
01:17:39If immortality were truly that easy
01:17:41Why would Morvain give it to a mortal with no divine power instead of keeping it for himself?
01:17:46So
01:17:48I was never Morvain's chosen one
01:17:50I was his experiment
01:17:54When I had just taken over Ashroyal Court
01:17:56I signed a major salt mine contract
01:17:57Halfway through, our allied clan suddenly withdrew
01:18:00It nearly destroyed us
01:18:02I had knights to feed
01:18:03My mother needed life-saving medicine
01:18:05Elira and Lyra were still young
01:18:06Every corner of the court needed gold
01:18:09I went to them again and again, begging them not to pull out
01:18:11Every time, they refused
01:18:13Just like that, the salt mine contract collapsed
01:18:15The royal court was on the edge
01:18:16My mother died on her sickbed
01:18:18After I left her sick room, I went to the altar of the old gods to ask for guidance
01:18:21When I came out, I met Morvain
01:18:23He asked if I wanted revenge
01:18:25I was blinded by hate
01:18:27I thought the old gods had answered me, so I made a deal with him
01:18:31With all our lives as the price for your greed?
01:18:34He promised that within 15 years, I would rule the North and become immortal
01:18:37I was young and arrogant
01:18:39I agreed before he even finished speaking
01:18:41And the price was your entire family's lives?
01:18:44No!
01:18:45The price was a lifetime of being alone
01:18:47Then congratulations
01:18:48You got exactly what you wanted
01:18:50From now on, you will be alone for the rest of your life
01:18:53Princess Alara, not yet
01:18:54Let King Orion finish
01:18:55He gave me the price before I understood it
01:18:58When he said the cost was a lifetime alone, I felt nothing
01:19:01What's the difference?
01:19:03A lifetime of being alone doesn't only mean losing your family
01:19:07It means from that day on, there was no one beside me I could trust
01:19:11Then congratulations
01:19:13You got exactly what you wanted
01:19:15From now on, you will be alone for the rest of your life
01:19:17Princess Alara, not yet
01:19:19Let King Orion finish
01:19:20He gave me the price before I understood it
01:19:23When he said the cost was a lifetime alone, I felt nothing
01:19:27He gave me a jar of black marsh herbs
01:19:29He told me not to boil them or drink them, only to place them by the bed
01:19:32Because of where I placed them
01:19:34That very night, I had a terrible fight with the Queen
01:19:37Looking back now, that was when the price began
01:19:41The Queen saw that thing and couldn't sleep
01:19:43That night, she slept on the fur bench in the outer hall
01:19:47When I woke up, the herbs were still there
01:19:49But the curse seed inside them was gone
01:19:52If I'm right, that curse seed was never meant for you
01:19:54It was meant for your Queen
01:19:56Because she carried the rare frost bloodline
01:19:58At first, there were no signs at all
01:20:00Then, after Lyra turned 18
01:20:02The Queen suddenly coughed blood in the royal court inner chamber and died
01:20:06When I prepared her body, I regretted making that deal
01:20:09I found him and told him the deal was off
01:20:12I said I wanted out
01:20:13You only saw what you gained
01:20:15You never understood what you lost
01:20:17What did I gain?
01:20:19What did I gain?
01:20:20The royal court
01:20:21A court that belonged to me
01:20:24The greatest royal court in the North
01:20:27And after that?
01:20:28Ash royal court grew stronger by the day
01:20:31It did not even take 15 years
01:20:34It became the strongest royal court in the North
01:20:37Princess Lyra's illness
01:20:38In a way, also came from you
01:20:40Yes
01:20:42It came from me
01:20:43But I had no way back
01:20:45All I could do was keep moving forward
01:20:48Give them the best of everything
01:20:50Material things
01:20:51To make up for what I owed them
01:20:54I would rather have lived poor
01:20:56Than watch our family fall apart
01:20:58Be torn to pieces
01:21:00Illness can be healed
01:21:01Desire is harder to remove
01:21:03That's because you've never been desperate
01:21:05Every person has desires
01:21:07I did what I had to do
01:21:08Then what about your mother
01:21:09Who built everything with you from nothing?
01:21:11Sometimes, for the future of a kingdom
01:21:13One person's sacrifice means nothing
01:21:16You're beyond saving
01:21:17You're not the father I knew
01:21:20At this point
01:21:21I only want to step down
01:21:23And leave ash court behind
01:21:25The blackstone royal token
01:21:27Whoever holds it
01:21:28Speaks with the king's authority
01:21:30From this day on
01:21:32Ash royal court
01:21:34Is yours to command
01:21:42This filthy thing
01:21:43Let it rot
01:21:47Ten ash royal courts
01:21:50Could never buy back mother's life
01:21:52Elara, you are exactly like I was
01:21:54When I first took over the royal court
01:21:55Fearless
01:21:56But one day you'll understand
01:21:58Reality will crush you
01:22:00Until you can't breathe
01:22:01And this token
01:22:02Is the weapon
01:22:03That lets you survive it
01:22:04Lyra, come here
01:22:05Let your father hold you one last time
01:22:07If only your mother were here now
01:22:17Father, father, father
01:22:23Princesses, the dead cannot return
01:22:24King Orion had already taken poison
01:22:26We were here the whole time
01:22:28When did he take it?
01:22:29He knew he had too many enemies in the north
01:22:31If he ever fell into their hands
01:22:32It was his last shred of dignity
01:22:34Lord Ethan, you can save people
01:22:36Please, you have to save him
01:22:37There's still time
01:22:41Father, I'm sorry
01:22:42He knew he had too many enemies in the north
01:22:44If he ever fell into their hands
01:22:46He hid it in his tooth
01:22:47It was his final foul back
01:22:49Princess Lyra
01:22:50King Orion's belief in immortality has shattered
01:22:52He caused the queen's death
01:22:54And nearly killed both of you
01:22:55Even if I brought him back
01:22:56I'm afraid
01:22:57This is not the time to cry
01:22:58Handle father's funeral
01:23:00And the court's affairs
01:23:01Lord Ethan and I will settle the score with Morvan
01:23:03Princess Lyra
01:23:04You truly are King Orion's daughter
01:23:06Calm under pressure
01:23:07Born to rule
01:23:08Princess Lyra
01:23:09Not yet
01:23:12Morvan's Black Marsh curses are strange
01:23:14If we go now without preparation
01:23:16We're just walking to our deaths
01:23:18I have something for you
01:23:20What is this?
01:23:21Toad Blyle Powder
01:23:22Once applied, it's colorless and odorless
01:23:24But deadly to Black Marsh curse bugs
01:23:26Think of it as armor for your body
01:23:32I thought it over
01:23:33Better to end a threat before it spreads
01:23:35If I leave you alone
01:23:37Sooner or later you'll ruin everything
01:23:41So, Ethan
01:23:42Die
01:23:44Perfect
01:23:45Saves me the trouble of finding you
01:23:47Give me back my mother's life
01:23:50Give me back my curse seed
01:23:53Bloodline
01:23:55Soul
01:23:57Immortality
01:23:58Come to me
01:24:10What's happening?
01:24:11How can he still cast curses?
01:24:12Didn't he set up a thunder barrier here?
01:24:14To me, it makes no difference
01:24:16You think this boy is powerful enough to break down my curse?
01:24:21Ridiculous
01:24:22If you want it so badly, I'll give it back
01:24:25By my thunder light
01:24:26Open the path back
01:24:30My curse bugs, why are they gone?
01:24:32How do you know the Black Marsh curse tongue?
01:24:34I am Zeus Reborn
01:24:36No dark art stays hidden from me
01:24:38I've seen through your curse work, Morvain
01:24:39You miscalculated
01:24:41Then I'll take the souls you protect and repair my broken one
01:24:46These are motion hunting curse bugs
01:24:49They attack anything alive that moves
01:24:52Once they stick to you for 30 seconds, you'll be nothing but bones
01:24:56They leave the flesh untouched
01:24:58They only eat the bones
01:24:59After you die, I'll make cloaks from your skin
01:25:07Ethan
01:25:07Do you know why you became Zeus Reborn?
01:25:13Morvain
01:25:13Morvain, you use curse bugs to devour other people's lives and repair your own broken soul
01:25:18So what?
01:25:19The strong survive by devouring the weak
01:25:22You're right
01:25:23So today, it's your turn to be devoured
01:25:32Don't you dare!
01:25:34Black Marsh, open!
01:25:35Curse Blood, awaken!
01:25:36Take his soul and make his power mine!
01:25:39Thunder, shatter the darkness!
01:25:44My curse bugs
01:25:46How did they disappear?
01:25:48Sister!
01:25:49Let's see if you're willing to kill her just to destroy me
01:25:52Ethan!
01:25:53What are you waiting for?
01:25:54Do it!
01:25:55If my life can take this monster down, it's worth it
01:25:58Brother, join me
01:26:00You command divine healing
01:26:02I command Black Marsh curses
01:26:04Together, this whole world could be ours
01:26:06Everyone chooses their own path
01:26:08I won't steal another life to change mine
01:26:11In all my life, you're the only one who has ever dared refuse me, Ethan
01:26:15Then die with her!
01:26:19Impossible!
01:26:19How do you know the strongest Black Marsh curse?
01:26:21You're wrong
01:26:22To you, this is the strongest Black Marsh cursed
01:26:25To me, it's nothing
01:26:28Spend the rest of your life inside my inner prison
01:26:31No!
01:26:32No!
01:26:33No!
01:26:34No!
01:26:35No!
01:26:41You're awake
01:26:43Are you alright?
01:26:44Are you hurt?
01:26:45Where is Morvayne?
01:26:47I'm fine
01:26:47I trapped him inside my inner prison
01:26:51He will spend the rest of his life there
01:26:53Sister!
