Short filmTranscript
00:00Daughter of the Lord, bloodline awakened, heir to the throne, glory to the soul and plan, a gift from Hecate
00:08the Lord.
00:11Give me a red wine.
00:20The wine you asked for.
00:27You walk in here while he is clearly occupied?
00:31Are you blind or just stupid?
00:40Then Lord Rowan can pour his own wine.
00:42What did you just... Did you call him by his name?
00:46You address him as my lord, you disrespectful little twat!
00:53That is enough, Isolette.
00:57Know your place, Zahra. You have no house, no bloodline, nowhere you're in this realm that would take you in.
01:03I will leave then. I will go rogue before I die.
01:07You have no soul power yet.
01:10Until you do, you belong to this house. You belong to me.
01:18Come to my study once you have cleaned this up.
01:30You have no soul power yet.
01:30Fifteen years with not a single confirmed trace of my daughter.
01:33What more do you need, Lord Blackwell?
01:36I hear you, Lord Cassian.
01:38But murder and abduction require proof.
01:41The other houses will not move against Greth without it.
01:44House Greth attacked House Solani fifteen years ago.
01:47My daughter vanished the same night.
01:50I know what happened to her.
01:52Her body was never found, Lord Blackwell.
01:54In fifteen years, no body.
01:57What does that tell you?
01:59Or do you just not want to hear it?
02:03You are the only one with the power and the standing to help us.
02:07You have to help me avenge my daughter.
02:15Clotha, Laxius, Hekma, if any of you are listening, please, tomorrow, give me my soul power when I turn eighteen.
02:24Set me free.
02:25We will live simply.
02:27In the woods if we have to.
02:29We will hunt for what we need.
02:31We will need nothing from anyone in this house ever again.
02:35I will attend Rowan Greth's feast tomorrow.
02:38Whatever is inside that castle, I will find it.
02:42You have my word.
02:46I will pull everything we have on the Gretheth attack on House Selenen.
02:51Every record.
02:53Every body.
02:55Body that was not found.
02:57Do it.
03:00Zara Saloni's body was never found.
03:03I suspect she is not dead.
03:26You are a fast learner, my lady.
03:34You are a fast learner, my lady.
03:48Rowan, you asked to see me.
03:51What is she doing here?
03:52Was she watching us?
03:55You will address me as my lord.
04:04If you walk in here without knocking again, I will make sure you cannot walk at all.
04:10Isolid.
04:11Leave us.
04:13Excuse me?
04:14I said, leave us.
04:25How long have you lived here at House Greth?
04:28Almost 15 years.
04:31Have we ever let you go hungry?
04:34Cold?
04:36Without shelter?
04:38No.
04:39What are you trying to say?
04:43Are you jealous?
04:45Is that what this is?
04:47You wish you were the one I was fucking?
04:49You disgust me.
04:50What?
04:52I am not jealous.
04:54I am disgusted.
04:55And you are not my lord.
04:57The only L word that fits you is low life.
05:02My lord.
05:03Lord Theron Blackwell of House Blackwell has confirmed his attendance at tomorrow's feast.
05:10Is Taron Blackwell coming here?
05:12Is Taron Blackwell coming here?
05:13I only sent that invitation out of courtesy.
05:14Why now?
05:15What does he want?
05:15My lord.
05:16I believe it signals respect.
05:18If Taron attends the other houses will follow.
05:20It confirms our standing.
05:21You think so?
05:22He must know House Greth is the second house in the realm.
05:25He is acknowledging the threat.
05:29Since you find this so amusing, you will prepare and serve the entire feast.
05:35Beginning to end.
05:36Tomorrow is my 18th birthday.
05:38You promised me a day's rest.
05:40I changed my mind.
05:51Does Zada know the cloth I wove her to you?
05:57Do not ever mention again.
06:02I...
06:03Forgive me my lord.
06:05It only seemed as though you two were...
06:11We are nothing.
06:12She is a servant.
06:14An orphan.
06:16I do not know why the Moray goddesses chose her for me and I do not care.
06:20I will not accept it.
06:23What do you plan to do with her?
06:26Once she turns 18 tomorrow, her soul power will awaken.
06:29She will feel the faded between us the moment it does.
06:31I will sever it publicly.
06:33In front of the entire feast.
06:35Severing a threat decreed by the Morayas is not a simple act, my lord.
06:38Clothra herself spun again.
06:40I do not care.
06:41You are dismissed.
06:48Damn it, Zara.
06:54Sauron.
06:55I need you to source a worthy gift for Lord Rowan Greth before tomorrow's feast.
06:59A gift?
06:59For Rowan Greth?
07:01Why would you...
07:01We keep our friends close.
07:03And our enemies closer.
07:04Yes, my lord.
07:05Daughters of allied houses.
07:07Each one a strong political match.
07:09If you arrive at the feast with one of them on your arm, it sends a message.
07:13House Blackhead is building alliances.
07:16Not just a companion.
07:17I will not be bringing a companion.
07:19My lord.
07:20If House Greth discovers you are still unwavered at your age, they will question your standard.
07:23They will use it against you at the feast.
07:25Let them.
07:26I am Theron Blackway.
07:30Let's hope she is there.
07:32Whoever she is.
07:41My lord.
07:42Those burns.
07:43Are those...
07:44Jade Hog.
07:44Yes.
07:45Inside the estate.
07:46How did it get past the...
07:48It was tracking something.
07:49A soul whose suppression is breaking.
07:52Something it could smell from a long distance.
07:59The trail leads toward House Greth territory.
08:03Lord Cassian's daughter.
08:04Have the carriage ready at dawn.
08:06Sauron.
08:08Tell no one about the burns.
08:24Happy birthday to me.
08:26Happy birthday, Zara.
08:30Who is there?
08:31It is me.
08:32Lara.
08:33I am your divine gift, Zara.
08:36I am your divine gift, Zara.
08:36Hecate's gift.
08:37The one they sealed away when you were a child.
08:39I have been here the entire time.
08:41They simply would not let me speak.
08:43Hecate's gift.
08:45You are Hecate's gift.
08:46It is very good to finally meet you.
08:49And there is something I need to tell you.
08:50About the one the Moiri decried for us.
08:52The one Clothra wove into your thread at birth.
08:54Clothra wove a thread for me?
08:56Yes.
08:56The one she decreed for us.
08:58He is here.
08:59He has always been here.
09:00In this castle.
09:02Who?
09:03Rowan Greth.
09:04Lord of this house.
09:05Clothra wove you for him at birth.
09:08He has known since before you did.
09:31He is coming.
09:33I can feel him approaching.
09:35Zara.
09:36When you see the thread, do not let it show on your face.
09:53So, Hector finally broke the seal.
09:57You knew.
09:58This whole time you knew what Clothra decreed and you said nothing.
10:02So what?
10:03You are a servant.
10:04A casteless orphan.
10:06You have no house.
10:07No bloodline.
10:08Nothing.
10:09What Clothra decreed does not change what you are.
10:13I defy the decree, Zara.
10:27If you beg, perhaps I will reconsider.
10:31I accept your defiance, Rowan.
10:35What?
10:40The thread is gone.
10:42So are we.
10:42Clothra does not weave a second thread for the same person.
10:45You will live and die casteless.
10:48So be it.
10:49Pack what you have tonight.
10:50After today I do not want to see you in this castle again.
10:53I have been waiting years for you to say that, Rowan.
10:59You are allowed to feel it, Zara.
11:01What he did this morning.
11:05I just need to get through this feast.
11:09There is someone coming tonight.
11:11I can feel a presence in the road.
11:13Something old.
11:14Something that knows Hector's gift from a distance.
11:16Everything can wait until after the feast.
11:25The carers were in this tree line last night.
11:28How close?
11:29Close enough to leave tribute at the window.
11:32Someone inside that castle has been paying them to stay back.
11:35Paying the carers to stay back from whom?
11:45Hector's bloodline.
11:47Inside house Greth.
12:12Lord Blackwit, what a pleasure.
12:14I hope the road treated you well.
12:16Our castle sits deep in the forest.
12:17Not the easiest journey.
12:19Lord Rowan built House Greath Castle from the foundations up.
12:22It is everything a great house should be.
12:25A gift from House Blackwit, Lord Greath, in honor of tomorrow's betrothal.
12:32Lord Blackwit, this is far too generous.
12:35We could not possibly...
12:36Pocket change, shall we?
12:41What do you think you are doing?
12:43Do not embarrass me.
12:47I saw a servant girl at the rest-use pile.
12:51Find out who she is, how she came from, how long she has been here, everything.
12:57And the Keris were paying her the kind of attention they paid...
12:59I know, Sorin. Find out who she is, tonight, before the feast ends.
13:10Lord Blackwit, I have always admired what House Blackwit has built in the Northern Territory.
13:15The estate, the trade routes.
13:17I feel we share very similar tastes in what a great house should be.
13:21Isoleth.
13:21Zara, wine.
13:25We have an important guest.
13:26Lord Blackwell of House Blackwell.
13:29Show some respect.
13:32What are you waiting for?
13:33We have an important guest.
13:34This is Lord Theron Blackwell of House Blackwell.
13:37Show some respect.
13:40I need to step out a moment, my lord.
13:47Excuse me.
13:49Where are you going with that?
13:51I am trying to wash.
13:54Wash?
13:54You call that washing?
13:56Can you just leave me alone?
13:58Please.
13:59I am not even supposed to be talking to you.
14:01I just want to know your name.
14:04Please.
14:05It's my 18th birthday today.
14:07Just do not make this worse.
14:12It is her birthday.
14:14Lord Blackliffe is going to want to know that.
14:17I noticed you came alone, Lord Blackwell.
14:20No companion for the feast.
14:22Is there no one who has caught your interest?
14:25I hear House Blackwell has no shortage of fine houses seeking alliance.
14:30There is someone.
14:31Is that so?
14:35Well, we have some of the finest bloodlines in the realm here tonight.
14:39Lady Meryn of House Vale.
14:41Strong covenant line.
14:43Excellent standing.
14:44Lady Meryn, Lord Blackwet of House Blackwet.
14:48She has good bloodline.
14:49And, well, if Lady Meryn is not to your pace, take your pick of any house here tonight.
14:56This is the finest gathering in the realm this season.
14:58There is someone, actually.
15:00Oh?
15:01Who is the lucky lady?
15:03That servant girl.
15:04From earlier.
15:05The one who poured the wine.
15:09You cannot be serious, Lord Blackwell.
15:12She is a costless servant with no house name.
15:16Whatever interest you have.
15:19Surely one of the noble daughters here tonight would serve you far better.
15:23I am not interested in the noble daughters.
15:25She does not even bathe properly.
15:27She has no access to moves a lot of things.
15:29Is that something she chooses?
15:31Or something she is not permitted?
15:37Send her to my guest room.
15:38I would like to speak with her.
15:40That is not going to...
15:43Of course.
15:46We will send her up.
16:01Well, it seems you have admirers.
16:04Lord Blackwell has requested your company in his guest room this evening.
16:10For some reason, Lord Blackwell wants you for the evening.
16:14No idea why.
16:16What are you talking about?
16:20Please do not wear that.
16:24Consider it a parting gift.
16:26I heard Rowan sent you away.
16:28Finally.
16:30Lord Blackmet's guest room.
16:32To the right at the end of the upper corridor.
16:34Do not disappoint him.
16:35I am not going.
16:36Why not?
16:37Does he not interest you?
16:38I do not know him.
16:39And Clothie does not weave second threads.
16:41You said so yourself.
16:42Clothie does not weave the same thread twice.
16:45But she weaves more than one kind.
16:48Go and see for yourself.
16:50And Zara.
16:51Please.
16:52Change your dress.
17:31What did you just call me?
17:35Rowan.
17:36Isileth sent me to the wrong room.
17:37She did this deliberately.
17:50Zara!
17:52What in the name of the gods?
17:55What do you think you are doing with my betrothed?
17:57You castless little witch!
18:03She came to seduce my betrothed.
18:06In his own room.
18:08Look at what she is wearing.
18:09You put me in this dress.
18:11You sent me to this room.
18:13You told me it was Lord Blackwell's...
18:15You lying.
18:17Do not touch her.
18:22If you lay another hand on her,
18:24I will make certain you regret it for the rest of your days.
18:37Blackwell.
18:38This is my castle.
18:40My house!
18:41You do not...
18:42She is with me now.
18:43Come.
18:53How is your face?
18:55It is fine.
18:57I am used to it.
18:59Why do you let them do that?
19:00In case you have not noticed,
19:02I am not exactly in a position of power here.
19:05So,
19:06this is the castless servant of House Greth,
19:09with an attitude.
19:11Thank you for what you did back there.
19:13You do not have to.
19:14I am leaving this house tonight.
19:15Release me.
19:17You are aware I am Lord of Shouse Blackwell,
19:19the more powerful house in Orvran.
19:22I am.
19:24Which is exactly why you would not want someone like me.
19:28No house, no bloodline.
19:29What is your name?
19:31Zara.
19:32Zara.
19:33Just Zara.
19:34I do not remember my house name.
19:37My parents died when I was small.
19:39House Greth took me in.
19:40You are with me now, Zara.
19:42You do not have to go anywhere tonight.
19:44Or at all.
19:56Happy birthday.
20:00This is my castle.
20:02My territory.
20:04Step aside.
20:05Lord Blackwell has requested privacy.
20:07I cannot allow entry.
20:08You cannot allow.
20:09I am Lord of this house.
20:10I could have you removed from this castle entirely.
20:13The accord between houses expires soon, my lord.
20:16You would not want to offend Lord Blackwen over a servant.
20:19There is no way a lord like Theron Blackwell accepts someone like her.
20:24She has nothing.
20:25She is nothing.
20:27Zara is not nothing, my lord.
20:28She is Lord Blackwell's guest.
20:35Why do you care so much about her?
20:37She is irrelevant.
20:39She is nothing.
20:40I do not want to talk about it.
20:41I imagine she is doing everything she can to please Lord Blackwell right now.
20:45That shameless, castless wench.
20:47I said I do not want to talk about it.
20:53Zara.
20:55Did you just call me Zara?
20:59What?
21:00You are being paranoid.
21:01Paranoid.
21:02I am paranoid.
21:03I knew it.
21:05I have always known it.
21:06It was always about her.
21:09Always Zara.
21:10Did you ever even care about me?
21:13What am I to you?
21:14What have I ever been?
21:15You are right.
21:16He cannot have her.
21:19What?
21:20Are you serious right now?
21:21I am talking to you!
21:23Rowan!
21:24Do not you dare leave me here!
21:32Lord Rowan insists on seeing Zara.
21:35He says it is urgent.
21:37You do not have to go.
21:41I should.
21:42I want to end this properly.
21:50What do you want, Rowan?
21:52You cannot go with Theron Blackneck.
21:54You do not even know him.
21:55Clotha decreed him for me.
21:57I am your decree.
22:00Zara, do not leave.
22:02I know things between us have been...
22:04Things between us?
22:05There were no things between us, Rowan.
22:07For fifteen years you treated me like a servant.
22:09You watched Isolde abuse me and you said nothing.
22:11You kept Hekti's seal on me so I would never know who I was.
22:14And then you broke Clotha's thread.
22:16You rejected me, Rowan.
22:18Your words to the gods.
22:19I will marry Isolde.
22:20The betrothal is too far along to break.
22:23But I can move you somewhere safe.
22:25A house of your own.
22:26You would want for nothing.
22:27You do not have to go to Blackwick.
22:29You do not have to...
22:29What are you trying to say to me right now?
22:31Are you telling me you want me to be your kept secret?
22:33The other woman while you marry Isolde?
22:36I came to say goodbye, Rowan.
22:37That is all this is.
22:40Zara, I have always loved you.
22:43What?
22:45I said I love you.
22:47Do you hear me?
22:48You cannot treat someone like nothing for fifty years and then tell them you love you.
22:51That is not love.
22:52Let me go!
22:53I told you I am willing to work something out.
22:56What more could you possibly want from me?
22:57This is how you show love?
22:58I do not want it.
22:59Let me go!
23:00Stop pretending.
23:01You think I do not know?
23:02You disobeyed me, gave me that attitude every day to get my attention.
23:07You have it.
23:08I never wanted your attention.
23:09I never wanted any of this.
23:10Let me go!
23:14We are leaving.
23:15Now.
23:17What about my things?
23:19I have everything you will ever need.
23:41You will have your own rooms at House Blackneck.
23:44Tomorrow I can arrange for whatever you need.
23:47Clothing, anything you want, we can send for.
23:49Is that a village?
23:50The market town of Veld.
23:52Three leagues from Greth territory.
23:55A market town.
23:59We will sort out the council inquiry tomorrow.
24:03Lord Cassian will want to move quickly once.
24:06Forgive me.
24:08What were you saying?
24:09I have never even seen anything beyond the castle walls.
24:14Call me Theron.
24:18Take the long road through Veld.
24:20We are not going home yet.
24:33Zara.
24:34Zara.
24:34This house.
24:35It knows us.
24:36Hectala and Neve have walked the same road since before mortals had names for either of them.
24:41This is a safe place.
24:44The shadows.
24:45They are moving.
24:48They are the nextborn.
24:49They guard this house.
24:51They will not harm you.
24:52They are alive.
24:54They are older than alive.
24:56They have been here since Nyx first made her covenant with my bloodline.
25:03They have never done that before.
25:05They recognize Hecate's gift.
25:07They are saying hello.
25:15I want the girl.
25:16Send her out.
25:17She is a guest of House Blacknickth.
25:19She leaves when she chooses.
25:21Open the gate, Zorin.
25:23Last time I ask.
25:25No.
25:26No.
25:37You brought hollow men to my house.
25:40You broke my gate.
25:42Think very carefully about what you do next.
25:44The girl is a servant of my house.
25:46She is not yours to keep.
25:48Give me the girl and I walk away.
25:50She is not a servant of your house.
25:52She never was.
25:54And I think you have always known that.
26:20What are you doing?
26:30Stand down.
26:34This isn't over, Blackweck.
26:37Send a raven next time.
26:39Like a lord.
26:41Rowan.
26:49I know about the attack on House Saluni.
26:51I know you sealed a three-year-old child and kept her hidden for fifty years.
26:54And I know Clotha with thread for her.
26:56And you threw it away.
26:58Atrotus is watching you.
26:59You defied the Moraes.
27:00Buried Hecate's bloodline.
27:01And destroyed an entire house.
27:02The gods...
27:05Without permission.
27:07That is a violation of the Accord Between Houses.
27:16Do not go out there, Zara.
27:19Rowan's RS gift is not controlled when he is this angry.
27:23He would not mean to, but he could drain you through the seal fractures.
27:27The cracks make you vulnerable.
27:29I am not afraid of him.
27:31I know.
27:32But the seal is not fully broken yet.
27:35Until it is.
27:36Stay inside this house.
27:38The Nyxborn will not let him pass the gate.
27:41What happened at the gate?
27:43He backed down.
27:44For now.
27:45But he will move against you.
27:46Soon.
27:47Rowan does not accept losses.
27:49What does he want from me?
27:50He defied the decree himself.
27:52He sent me away.
27:53What is there left to take?
27:54He does not want you.
27:55He wants to make certain no one else has you.
27:57There is a difference.
27:58Your name is not just Zara.
27:59Your full name is Zara Selene.
28:01Daughter of Lord Cassiel Solene and Lady Neva Solene of House Solene.
28:07That is not possible.
28:09My parents died when...
28:10They did not die.
28:13House Greth attacked House Solene 15 years ago.
28:16Your parents survived.
28:17You were taken in the chaos.
28:19Either by Greth soldiers or hidden here afterward.
28:23Your parents have been searching for you ever since.
28:25My parents are alive?
28:26Yes.
28:27I met with them two days ago.
28:29Your father sat across a desk from me and told me 15 years of searching.
28:33Your mother has not stopped looking since the night you disappeared.
28:36Solene.
28:38Hector's Covenant.
28:39Yes.
28:39Your bloodline carries Hector's Gift.
28:42Soul Sight.
28:43The ability to see the complete truth of any person.
28:45Rareest gift in Arvran.
28:46It is why the Covenant Seal was placed on you as a child.
28:48To keep Hector's Gift buried.
28:50To keep you buried.
28:53Why are you doing this?
28:54I gave your father, Lord Cassian, my word.
28:56That is not what I mean.
28:57You came to that feast looking for something.
28:59You saw me and you spent the rest of the night trying to find out who I was, why.
29:02The Shadehound tracks in my study led to House Greth territory.
29:05The Keris retreating when I arrived.
29:06The pieces were already there.
29:07That is still not what I mean.
29:10My gift responded to you at the gate before I knew who you were.
29:14That does not happen.
29:15Not to me.
29:16Lyra said Clothed are weaves more than one kind of thread.
29:41Lord Cassian, I said I would find her.
29:49You have her eyes.
29:52Your mother's eyes, exactly.
30:01I did not know you were alive.
30:02They told me.
30:03I thought...
30:04I know.
30:04I know what they told you.
30:06I prayed.
30:07For years I prayed.
30:08I did not know who I was praying to.
30:11I called her Hectith.
30:12I just prayed that someone was listening.
30:13Hector was listening.
30:15She always was.
30:16I never stopped looking for you.
30:19Not one day.
30:21Not one hour.
30:27You were three years old.
30:30The night they came.
30:31House Greth attacked at the third bell of night.
30:34No warning.
30:35No declaration.
30:36Just Greth soldiers at our walls.
30:38They knew exactly what they wanted.
30:40Hectata's covenant had just passed to you at birth.
30:43House Solane with a newborn heir carrying the full force of soul sight that terrified them.
30:47You would have been the most powerful voice at any council table in Auron.
30:51So they took me instead of killing me?
30:54They put the covenant seal on you that same night.
30:56And they kept you where they could watch you and where the seal would never break.
31:00Surrounded by Rohan Zara's gift.
31:02Pressing the seal down every day simply by existing near you.
31:05I'm Clothed's decree.
31:08Rohan was woven for me at birth.
31:10He knew if the thread appeared he could not hide who I was any longer.
31:13Which is why he defied it immediately.
31:16Better to pay the cost of defying the Moirai than to let you know who you were.
31:22He was afraid of me.
31:27His entire house has been afraid of you since the night you were born.
31:33The seal will fully break within days.
31:36Once Hectata's gift is free in her.
31:38See through every lie in this realm.
31:41She will see what we did to her family.
31:43She will be able to prove it at council.
31:45Then we stop it before it breaks.
31:47The seal is too far gone.
31:49Rohan's suppression cannot close those fractures.
31:51Hector is driving them open from the divine side.
31:53There is only one thing that stops Hecta's gift once it starts.
31:55Voidban.
31:57Voidban severs the covenant permanently.
31:59Hecta's gift gone from her bloodline entirely.
32:02Gone.
32:03I know someone who can get it.
32:08Get it.
32:15How does it work?
32:16One touch to bare skin.
32:18The poison enters through contact.
32:20It reaches the covenant connection in the blood within one hour.
32:23After that, the gift is gone.
32:25The bloodline's covenant with Hecta dissolves permanently,
32:28as if the original bargain was never made.
32:30If I use it on her, what happens?
32:32She lives.
32:34She simply becomes ordinary.
32:49Good morning.
32:50Good morning.
32:51This was always your room.
32:53We never changed it.
33:02Tell me what Lyra says your gift does.
33:04In full.
33:05Soul sight.
33:06Hecta's gift.
33:07I can see the complete truth of any person.
33:10What they intend, what they hide, what they have done.
33:12No lie survives it.
33:13In its full form, Lyra says I can read an entire room simultaneously.
33:17Can you use it now?
33:18Not yet.
33:19The seal is still there.
33:20Most of it.
33:21Lyra says when it fully breaks, the gift will arrive all at once.
33:24She says it will be overwhelming.
33:26At first...
33:27When it does, you will be able to see the truth of everyone around you.
33:31Including me.
33:31Does that concern you?
33:34No.
33:35Zara.
33:36The warmth between you.
33:37That is real.
33:39Clothy wove it differently this time.
33:40It will not collapse if defied.
33:42It only grows.
33:43Not yet.
33:44What?
33:45Nothing.
33:46Lyra talks a great deal.
33:49Rowan demands we surrender Zara to House Graith, custody within three days.
33:55Or he declares inter-House conflict.
34:01He cannot declare conflict against both our Houses.
34:04House Selene and House Blackwell together outrank him at every Council.
34:08He does not need to win the conflict.
34:10He only needs to create enough chaos that the other Houses look away while he moves against Zara directly.
34:18He is not going to wait for the Council.
34:20He is going to move before the seal breaks.
34:22Lord Cassian, can you call the Council?
34:26Formally.
34:27Openly.
34:28Before Rowan moves first.
34:33I can.
34:35But if Rowan has something that can stop the seal breaking before the Council convenes.
34:40Do not let anyone you do not trust come near your wrist.
34:42Not until the seal is fully gone.
34:5815 years ago, House Graith attacked House Solene without declaration, without cause, and without consequence.
35:03My door three years old was taken that same night.
35:05A covenant seal placed on a child of Hecate's bloodline to suppress her divine gift.
35:10She was kept as a servant in House Graith for 15 years.
35:13I am asking this Council to answer for what was done.
35:16House Graith denies every accusation.
35:18The girl in question was an orphan found wandering near our territory.
35:22We took her in out of charity.
35:24The covenant seal was placed for her own protection.
35:27Her gift was unstable.
35:28Lord Cassian has no proof of anything he has claimed.
35:31Furthermore, this girl has no documented bloodline.
35:35No House Solene birth record survives the attack on their estate.
35:39Lord Cassian is asking the Council to accept the word of a castless servant over the standing of House Graith.
35:45I have proof.
35:47When Rowan showed up to my house, I used my gift and read his ring.
35:50What I found wasn't pretty.
35:5215 years of deliberate moves against House Solene.
35:54The attack.
35:55Taking the child.
35:56Locking Hectima's gift inside her with that seal.
35:59All of it.
36:00That ring has witnessed everything.
36:02He read my ring without permission.
36:03Article 7 of the Accord permits a reading of House Insignia when a missing heir is involved.
36:08That itself is a violation of the Accord.
36:10Everything he claims to have read is inadmissible.
36:12Zahra Salande is a missing heir.
36:13Her father sits at this table.
36:25Zahra, left side.
36:26Now!
36:33Zahra, fight it.
36:35Do not let it reach the Covenant.
36:37Do not.
36:48What did you give her?
36:51Nothing that was not necessary.
36:56Zahra?
36:59Zahra?
36:59Zahra?
37:00Zahra!
37:00Hectias is here!
37:02She is fighting it!
37:03Hold on!
37:28This is what you were born for, Zahra Salenia.
37:32Now let them see you.
37:36Welcome home.
37:57What do you have?
37:59No!
38:02No!
38:02No!
38:03No!
38:04No!
38:04No!
38:06No!
38:07No!
38:27My name is Zara Soleen.
38:30My house made a covenant with Hector at our founding.
38:32Her gift allows me to see the complete truth of any person in this room.
38:36Nothing hidden survives it.
38:37You accepted payment from House Greeth six years ago in exchange for blocking House
38:42Solane's petition to this council.
38:44You told your household it was a trade agreement.
38:47I am not here to expose every secret in this room.
38:50I am here to confirm one thing.
38:52Everything Lord Blackwell told this council is true.
38:55I can see it in every person who was present at House Greeth during the years they kept
38:58me.
38:59Every action, every decision, every order given.
39:03This council will not accept the testimony of a girl who just had a vow pressed to her
39:07wrist.
39:08Sit down, Rowan.
39:12Sit down, Rowan.
39:17Sit down.
39:20Rowan, you lost.
39:21Accept the judgment of the council for the mistakes you have made.
39:30You're done, Rowan.
39:31Look around you.
39:33I'm not done until I say I'm done!
39:35I'm done!
39:36I'm done!
39:49I'm done!
40:08It is over, Rowan.
40:15You went to a crossroads at night.
40:17You took something from Hades to Maine.
40:19Don't.
40:20You pressed it against my wrist in front of this entire council and watched me go down.
40:27You tried to kill a divine gift.
40:29In neutral land.
40:30In front of eight houses sitting in the room.
40:33Every Lord hearing it clearly.
40:35I protected my house.
40:37What you would have done with that gift, I can see every lie you've ever told.
40:41Don't try another one.
40:42I move that House Crane be held responsible for the attempted use of Hades-sourced poison
40:46on a divine heir in neutral ground.
40:48Isalte Crane to be stripped of her house title and remanded to council custody pending full judgment.
40:52You cannot.
40:53I am the daughter of House Crane.
40:55My father will-
40:56Your father is not in this room.
40:57Rowan.
40:58Rowan, tell them.
41:00Tell them I did it for us.
41:01For the house.
41:02You told me to get it.
41:03You said, get it!
41:06You're not going to say anything, are you?
41:11I did everything for you.
41:13Every single thing.
41:15The room.
41:17The vial.
41:20Fifteen years of watching you look at her instead of me and I said nothing.
41:24I did everything you needed and you won't even...
41:26I loved you.
41:28That was real.
41:29Even if nothing else was.
41:45I want you to know something before you go.
41:48You spent fifteen years trying to stop this moment.
41:51And here we are anyway.
41:53What do you want, Zara?
41:54An apology?
41:55I want nothing from you.
41:57That is what I came to tell you.
41:59After everything you did, I feel nothing when I look at you.
42:05The council exiled him.
42:08He lost any powers he had.
42:18I do not know how to do this.
42:28Every single day.
42:30I said your name every single day so I would not forget the sound of it.
42:34So it would still be ready when you came back.
42:40Welcome home, Zara.
42:53You found her.
42:55You brought her home.
42:58House Barnett has House Solina's gratitude for what you did and I mean that without reservation.
43:03I did not come today for gratitude.
43:05No.
43:06I did not think so.
43:08What are your intentions toward my daughter, Lord Blackwell?
43:10Honorable ones, I want the right to court her.
43:12Properly, openly, with your knowledge and consent.
43:14Nothing hidden, nothing rushed.
43:15She has been kept hidden and castless for 15 years.
43:17She has just received her full divine gift and learned who she is.
43:19She is not a prize to be collected, Lord Blackwell, by anyone, including the man who helped find her.
43:23I know that.
43:24The decision is hers entirely.
43:26I am asking your permission to be considered, not your permission to decide for her.
43:30She already knows you came.
43:31She saw it in your face the moment you arrived.
43:33I am aware of that.
43:34Good.
43:35Then there is no point pretending this conversation is a secret.
43:46I spoke with your father.
43:48I know.
43:49I saw it in your face before you said a word.
43:51Is that going to be a permanent condition?
43:53Reading everything before anyone speaks?
43:55Yes.
43:56Good.
43:59In the Accord Hall, when you read me, what did you see?
44:03Everything you have done.
44:05Everything you intend.
44:06Everything you have been afraid to say out loud since the gate at House Greth.
44:10And?
44:11And nothing hidden.
44:12You are exactly what you appear to be.
44:14That is rarer than you know.
44:17Do you see that?
44:21I see it.
44:22I told you.
44:23A decree of purpose.
44:25It only grows.
44:27So, what do we do with it?
44:29I have a few ideas.
44:30You are not as serious as you pretend to be.
44:34And you are not as unbothered as you pretend to be.
44:36I read you, you know.
44:38What am I supposed to do with it?
44:40I know.
44:42You were not afraid of that.
44:45I had nothing to hide.
44:54Lyra is going to be insufferable about this.
44:57I heard that.
44:58Come on.
44:59Your father is going to send someone to find us soon.
45:01Let him.
45:02You are not as obvious.
45:03No way.
45:05Amen.
