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