Short filmTranscript
00:00:04As my husband, I've lost count of how many times Sassi has paraded his ally right in front of me.
00:00:11Of course, tonight is an exception.
00:00:15He thinks I'm visiting relatives in the country.
00:00:18He hasn't the faintest idea.
00:00:20Little does he know, this is where my revenge begins.
00:00:26Parasites.
00:00:30Since everyone's wearing a mask, no one knows who's who.
00:00:42So if you can mess about right in front of me,
00:00:48why shouldn't I do the same?
00:00:57That woman's back. Looks awfully familiar.
00:01:04Stay the night with me. What do you say?
00:01:08I'm just an ally, my lady.
00:01:09We're all...
00:01:10Why let rank spoil the fun?
00:01:15A noblewoman luring to be with these kind of trash.
00:01:19Are you quite sure you can handle the consequences?
00:01:21Parents, you're watching me!
00:01:51I'm actually pregnant.
00:01:56That man certainly knew how to put on a show.
00:01:59As long as Scar believes this child is his,
00:02:02everything my grandfather left me will eventually be mine again.
00:02:06My lady, I've come to change your bedding and your rag.
00:02:10Why now, of all times?
00:02:12Just a moment!
00:02:15Scar hasn't touched me in six months.
00:02:17Before I announce the pregnancy, I need him to sleep with me one more time.
00:02:21Melris! The carriage is waiting!
00:02:24If we're late for the victory banquet, the blame falls on you!
00:02:30You're getting completely out of hand.
00:02:32What the devil are you doing in here?
00:02:37Sneaking around. What are you up to?
00:02:41Nothing.
00:02:42Why are your hands behind your back?
00:02:44You're standing on it.
00:02:45Ugh!
00:02:47Throwing your filthy rags on the floor like this?
00:02:50Disgusting!
00:02:54Forgive me, my lord.
00:02:55I was just about to tidy the room and change her ladyship's rags.
00:02:58Wait outside.
00:02:59I'll get dressed and be right out.
00:03:00Hurry it up.
00:03:12Feed me another one.
00:03:19My lord.
00:03:20I prefer the curtains drawn.
00:03:23If you cared so much about appearances, you shouldn't have brought her into the carriage.
00:03:28Tonight is a banquet hosted by his majesty himself for my cousin, Eric.
00:03:32If you hadn't married me, a merchant's daughter like you would never set foot in the royal palace your entire
00:03:38life.
00:03:39Exactly.
00:03:40I'd defeat for a chance to go inside.
00:03:42You've no right to complain.
00:03:44If it weren't for my merchant fortune, you wouldn't even be able to afford this carriage.
00:03:48You'd have to go roll around in the dirt.
00:03:51I never want to hear you say that again.
00:03:53Don't forget.
00:03:54The deeds and shops your grandfather left behind all belong to me now.
00:04:01Let me help you cool off, my lord.
00:04:04Grandfather must have been blind to leave everything in his hands.
00:04:07Don't give me that look.
00:04:09As long as we play the happy couple, my cousin will think I'm a respectable man.
00:04:15And the northern ration contracts will stay in my hands.
00:04:33General.
00:04:35His majesty has sent word.
00:04:37The banquet is about to begin.
00:04:38The time of controlling the illusions is getting shorter.
00:04:41Still not found that woman?
00:04:43There were too many people that night.
00:04:44We're still screening them.
00:04:46After that night, the hallucinations stopped for two whole days.
00:04:52And it was only with her.
00:04:54Keep digging.
00:04:59Be a good girl and wait in the carriage.
00:05:01I'll be back right after the banquet.
00:05:06My lady.
00:05:07After you.
00:05:11Is that Vatret Scurr's wife?
00:05:13I heard she's a merchant's daughter.
00:05:16No wonder she lacks class.
00:05:18Look at you.
00:05:20Go and beg Lilith to swap dresses with you.
00:05:22Stop embarrassing me here.
00:05:27Count Horne.
00:05:28It's been too long.
00:05:30Looking as dashering as ever, I see.
00:05:39I'd rather be thrown out than beg her for anything.
00:05:44My apologies, my lady, but we cannot allow you inside dressed like that.
00:05:48I know.
00:05:49That's why I need to borrow your sword for a moment.
00:05:51Please don't make a scene here, ma'am.
00:05:53I... I just...
00:05:56Use mine.
00:06:05It's the man from the masquerade!
00:06:09General, sir!
00:06:10The general?
00:06:12Soska's cousin is him?
00:06:13If you keep, my lady, you'll be late for the banquet.
00:06:18Thank you, general.
00:06:25Actually looks better than before.
00:06:29You flatter me, general. Just a quick fix.
00:06:32I'll see you inside.
00:06:41That woman. Why does she feel so familiar?
00:07:03Eric Hohenheim. The Empire will forever remember your triumphs in the North.
00:07:08My life for the Empire.
00:07:10He looks as though he's in pain.
00:07:14Rumor has it he'd defeat people just for fun since he's been back.
00:07:18You always take matters into your own hands.
00:07:20Stay away from me whilst I make my rounds tonight.
00:07:23I don't want people thinking I'm married a tailor's daughter.
00:07:29Perhaps he's not what the rumors say.
00:07:33A toast to you, general.
00:07:37It's getting worse.
00:07:41No. I need to find Edward.
00:07:43See if they've brought any spare prisoners.
00:07:47Cousin!
00:07:48The party's just starting.
00:07:49What's the rush?
00:07:51What is it?
00:07:52Oh, nothing much.
00:07:53Just notice the requisition orders for the border rations have paused lately.
00:07:57The North is secure, sure, but our garrisons out there eat through supplies fast.
00:08:01We can't let the transport stop.
00:08:03To save the front line some coin, I've been keeping prices rock bottom for years.
00:08:07I hardly make a dime.
00:08:10So regarding the rations contract.
00:08:19Shut up!
00:08:21Cousin?
00:08:22Rations were always tight whilst I was on the front.
00:08:25We only secured the area a month ago.
00:08:27Yet when I dressed as an ally and slipped into your estate, your little masquerade was quite the lavish affair.
00:08:33General!
00:08:33I believe you are mistaken.
00:08:38The heavy snows blocked the northern passes.
00:08:41Many merchant guilds refused to go near the border even if it meant taking a loss.
00:08:45Scar hosted that ball simply to placify the gang leaders.
00:08:48Yes!
00:08:49Yes, exactly!
00:08:50All for the Empire!
00:08:51You're defending him.
00:08:54Just stating the facts.
00:08:56And what are you to him?
00:08:57His wife.
00:08:59So was the lady of the house present at the masquerade that night?
00:09:08You misunderstand me, General.
00:09:10I'm merely speaking up for my husband.
00:09:12As for the masquerade, I wasn't there. I was visiting my aunt in the country.
00:09:15So you're not worried about your husband fooling around behind your back?
00:09:19You cut off his contracts and publicly challenge him over a single party.
00:09:24Are you going to interrogate our marriage now too?
00:09:35Forgive my introsion.
00:09:38General!
00:09:40I want a new logistics plan on my desk in two days.
00:09:43If it's the same garbage as before.
00:09:46Then you're done with the northern contracts.
00:09:48Forever.
00:09:49Yes, yes, of course!
00:09:50I'll redraw everything!
00:10:01A stroke of luck, actually.
00:10:03There's no way Scar can come up with a new plan.
00:10:05If I use this to make him sleep with me again.
00:10:07Then you can stay. Loud and clear.
00:10:14Good thing you had one on standby.
00:10:22General, please let me go!
00:10:24I'm just a foot soldier! I was following orders!
00:10:28My girl is waiting for me back home!
00:10:30Please, no! Please!
00:10:35Crimson Raven.
00:10:39General.
00:10:41Why haven't you found the woman from the masquerade yet?
00:10:46Do we even have prisoners left to kill?
00:10:49He's been looking for me since that night?
00:10:51Quite sure you can handle the consequences.
00:10:56Who's there?
00:11:06Crimson Raven.
00:11:07Why haven't you found her yet?
00:11:09Are you quite sure you can handle the consequences?
00:11:14What the hell is wrong with you?
00:11:19Cold-blooded monster.
00:11:21He actually thinks he's some hero of the Empire.
00:11:23Don't be angry, my lord. Have some wine.
00:11:28A cold-blooded monster.
00:11:30And I'm killing his child.
00:11:32If he finds out I only used him for his dream, he'll tear me to pieces.
00:11:36No.
00:11:37The plan of his broken start.
00:11:45Women who come to my door usually fall into one of two categories.
00:11:48Those who want to get pregnant with someone else's child and those who want to get rid of their own.
00:11:53Which one are you?
00:11:55The latter.
00:11:58I'm out of a few herbs. I need to go fetch them.
00:12:10There's a gentleman in the back room who claims he's being haunted by the dead.
00:12:14If you hear him ring the bell, do me a favor and toss some of this incense into the burner
00:12:17for him.
00:12:24Let go!
00:12:26What are you doing?
00:12:30What is Scar's wife doing in a place like this?
00:12:34What is Scar's wife doing in a place like this?
00:12:37What is Scar's wife doing in a place like this?
00:12:42Those who want to get pregnant.
00:12:45Surely the general doesn't think I'm the latter.
00:12:47I hear you and Scar have only been married for three months.
00:12:50In such a rush to have a baby.
00:12:52You're awfully invested in other people's private matters, general.
00:12:56Get out.
00:13:00I caused the burn. The least I can do is treat it.
00:13:03Not necessary. Leave the medicine. I'll do it myself.
00:13:05You can't exactly reach your own back.
00:13:15What a perfect body.
00:13:17Do you usually tend to your own mark, general?
00:13:20Yes. I don't like people touching my body.
00:13:23Apologies. This might sting a bit, general.
00:13:26All done.
00:13:27Hold on.
00:13:28Have you seen it before?
00:13:31Never.
00:13:32Is that so?
00:13:33I think it would suit you perfectly.
00:13:37General, please mind your boundaries.
00:13:40Her scent exactly the same.
00:13:49Changed your mind?
00:13:50If the man inside asked what I was doing here, tell him the exact opposite.
00:13:57He has the earring.
00:13:59If he finds out the secret, I'll never be able to explain myself.
00:14:02I need to end this.
00:14:03Fast.
00:14:07How is there so much of this?
00:14:12Caravans.
00:14:13Tariffs.
00:14:14Ware's housing.
00:14:15That Lunar Talk wants me to reorganize everything in two days.
00:14:18Does he think I'm the Chancellor of the Exement?
00:14:20Don't be so grumpy, my lord.
00:14:22Besides, selling off a few properties will keep us comfortable for a long time.
00:14:27What do you know?
00:14:27I refuse to end up like my father, eating through his fortune till nothing was left but the title of
00:14:33a broke nobleman.
00:14:41But I suppose you have a point.
00:14:43What's the harm in selling one or two?
00:14:49Gently.
00:14:50I can't keep the baby.
00:14:53I can't keep it.
00:14:57Did you hear?
00:14:58The alley is starting to sell off the family estates.
00:15:01But those belong to her ladyship's grandfather.
00:15:05Where did you hear that?
00:15:07My lady.
00:15:08What is going on?
00:15:10The ally said that the northern contracts are likely gone, so he's selling off assets early to cover our expenses.
00:15:17Ska?
00:15:17Ska?
00:15:24Ska, we need to talk.
00:15:31Ever heard of knocking?
00:15:33Don't stop.
00:15:34You picked a bad time.
00:15:37If you still want the northern contracts, tell her to get out.
00:15:41You have a logistics plan?
00:15:43I said, tell her to get out.
00:15:48Ska?
00:15:52Get out.
00:15:54Why bother kicking me out?
00:15:56We're both women.
00:15:57I can tell you've no interest in intense confrontation me for him.
00:16:00Not necessarily.
00:16:04Spill it.
00:16:06What's your play?
00:16:08I already have a solution for the northern supply routes.
00:16:11Tomorrow I'll go with you to see Eric.
00:16:14You seem... different today.
00:16:17You were just too focused on my grandfather's money to notice.
00:16:20Save it.
00:16:21If you fix this logistics mess, I might actually treat you a bit better.
00:16:24On the condition that you stop selling off the grandfather's estate.
00:16:29Deal.
00:16:32But wait!
00:16:33What is it?
00:16:35You're more beautiful.
00:16:37Intoxicating.
00:16:38More?
00:16:39But let me tell you.
00:16:40My name is Ska.
00:16:41Ska Al-Francis.
00:16:44That was close.
00:16:52Wait.
00:16:53Is that her ladyship?
00:16:54Breath?
00:16:55Are you crazy?
00:16:56How dare you fantasize about her ladyship?
00:16:59Ska...
00:17:00Shenzel!
00:17:01No, I've been telling you for several months.
00:17:03Wait, wait.
00:17:04I think I heard it too.
00:17:10Don't do that.
00:17:11Did you hear?
00:17:12Her ladyship actually consummated the marriage with the ally.
00:17:16I thought he never touched her.
00:17:18It's true!
00:17:21Doesn't she find him repulsive?
00:17:25Finally over.
00:17:27If he tries to sell my inheritance once, he'll do it again.
00:17:30How much worse can things possibly get?
00:17:33I'm risking it!
00:17:35It's not as if I have any other way out.
00:17:45You don't want to make a fool of yourself in front of your cousin, do you?
00:17:53That was rape!
00:17:55Rape? Aren't we husband and wife?
00:17:57Are you going to tell the whole world that I raped you, Lord Banknett?
00:18:00A merchant's daughter.
00:18:02Shameless as expected.
00:18:03Your grandfather's entail is clear.
00:18:05Only your legitimate child can inherit the valentine shops, lands, and granaries.
00:18:10But I'm telling you right now, you won't get a second chance like that.
00:18:13What, once wasn't enough?
00:18:14Do you really have that little faith in your own... stamina?
00:18:17You bitch!
00:18:18Don't celebrate just yet, Mellis.
00:18:20Once you secure those northern contracts from me, you'll be completely useless.
00:18:23I'll make you wish you were dead.
00:18:29Two days.
00:18:32Interesting.
00:18:32Seems you haven't been slacking after all.
00:18:36Of course.
00:18:37How could I neglect a direct order from the General?
00:18:40I poured my energy, sweat, and tears into this...
00:18:42But why does it say to bypass Ashport?
00:18:47Well...
00:18:47Because...
00:18:48Because that port is...
00:18:50Narrow.
00:18:51Right?
00:18:52The roads are terrible!
00:18:53I hear it's the largest port in the entire empire.
00:18:55Did you not know that?
00:18:56Because Ashport has been cracking down on salt smuggling recently.
00:18:59The caravans are critical military ranchers for the north.
00:19:01If they go through Ashport and get detained on suspicion of smuggling,
00:19:04the delays would starve the northern garrisons within three weeks.
00:19:07That's why we must reroute through the eastern waterways,
00:19:09although it adds four days to the journey.
00:19:12But at least it's secure.
00:19:19The...
00:19:21Fascinating.
00:19:21It seems you aren't the real business men in the Alfons and Families sky...
00:19:24No!
00:19:24That's not true!
00:19:25A lot of the other routes were my idea!
00:19:28I hate being lied to. Next time, it'll be your throat on the end of this blade.
00:19:34Close one. Looks like he still hasn't recognized me.
00:19:37Northern contracts are yours, fine. But she has to be involved.
00:19:41But, cousin!
00:19:42Get out.
00:19:45Lady Melis, I didn't say you could leave.
00:20:05Lady Melis, Valentine. Your grandfather built a fine business. But a merchant's a merchant.
00:20:12The Alfronzi's family's fallen shore, but they still have have a title. You married him. Give and take.
00:20:19Must be humiliating, though.
00:20:26If you're trying to stir trouble between us, I'll leave.
00:20:31The North is secured, but the Empire is still surrounded. I need talent.
00:20:35Join my staff. Good pay, and I'll help you take back everything scussed all.
00:20:40Something's off. You flatter me, General, but I'm just a woman. Why go through all this trouble for me?
00:20:47Because the perfume you wear smells just like someone. Someone I can't forget.
00:20:55My perfume costs three silver coins. Half the girls in the city wear it.
00:21:00I enjoy a good play in my spare time. I've been working on one lately.
00:21:03A husband steals his wife's inheritance, flaunts his affair.
00:21:06So the wife, to masquerade, takes a stranger to bed. Right under his nose.
00:21:10What do you think, my lady? Better than what's on at the theater?
00:21:13You've missed your calling, General. Should have been a playwright.
00:21:16Put them on. Then I'll know.
00:21:19General, please.
00:21:20I just want to be sure.
00:21:24Is this your war room or a torture chamber?
00:21:29Both.
00:21:30Let go! Have you lost your mind?
00:21:35This madman, he can't find out.
00:21:40What's that?
00:21:44The great general, assaulting his cousin's wife and his own whole empire would be ashamed.
00:21:49Find someone else for your staff, General.
00:21:59My lady, the ally's celebrating the Northern Deal.
00:22:02He's taken Lady Lilith to the hunting lodge and chose not to wait for you.
00:22:08Fine.
00:22:10Earrings gone, scars gone.
00:22:12At least tonight I get some peace.
00:22:16General!
00:22:17Are you alright? What happened here?
00:22:23Did you check her aunt's place?
00:22:25Find out if she was really there that night?
00:22:31It's a long way.
00:22:33My man won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest.
00:22:38Dammit!
00:22:42General, where are you going?
00:22:44To see her.
00:22:45Now.
00:22:49W, the valentine crest.
00:23:03Awake?
00:23:04Good.
00:23:06I don't like them cold.
00:23:10Get up.
00:23:12Get up!
00:23:16You bitch.
00:23:18This guy said you were a handful.
00:23:19He was right.
00:23:20I like that.
00:23:24Help!
00:23:26Help!
00:23:30Something!
00:23:32Keep yelling, sweethearts.
00:23:34There's no one here.
00:23:35Just you and me.
00:23:45Just you and me.
00:23:47A real lady.
00:23:49Worth every penny.
00:23:51Come here.
00:23:54Why?
00:23:55How did it come to this?
00:23:58I just wanted back what was mine.
00:24:05You dare.
00:24:15Who the hell are you?
00:24:19How did you?
00:24:27Get a carriage.
00:24:28General, she's still Vadriska's wife.
00:24:31Taking her like this, is that wise?
00:24:33You think that bastard treats her like a wife?
00:24:38What a pain.
00:24:40First he cancels the party.
00:24:42Now we're rushing back in the rain.
00:24:44Clever move, my lord.
00:24:45Catch the bitch red-handed.
00:24:47Of course.
00:24:48Even if she is pregnant, who knows whose bastard it is.
00:24:51She'll never touch my inheritance.
00:24:58Why have we stopped?
00:24:59Scar alfrancis!
00:25:01Berglars!
00:25:09Protect the master!
00:25:15Cousin?
00:25:17What are you doing here?
00:25:18Three sentences.
00:25:19Explain.
00:25:21I-I-I took everyone to the hunting lodge.
00:25:23There must be some misunderstanding.
00:25:24Two.
00:25:25She's my wife.
00:25:26This is a family matter.
00:25:28You shouldn't-
00:25:28Three!
00:25:29General, this is still our house.
00:25:32And you're holding our mistress.
00:25:34Doesn't look right, does it?
00:25:39Not right.
00:25:41Melis is in charge of my northern supply lines.
00:25:43She was nearly assault in her own home.
00:25:45You and Scar are suspects.
00:25:48I'm taking her in for questioning.
00:25:49Eric, you-you can't-
00:25:51Edward!
00:25:52Sir!
00:26:02Drive faster!
00:26:03Get to the witch doctor, now!
00:26:14Well, well, look who's awake.
00:26:17My dear wife, did you really think you could get away?
00:26:20Watching us enjoy your grandfather's fortune must break your heart.
00:26:27Be always the hours.
00:26:29But it was always meant to be ours.
00:26:39Maris, as your savior, I think I've earned the right to know the truth about that night.
00:26:45You're-you're right.
00:26:57You're awake.
00:26:58My clothes.
00:26:59You cut your knee pretty badly fighting that bastard.
00:27:01They were soaked in blood.
00:27:02I threw them out.
00:27:10Then who changed me into this?
00:27:14The witch doctor from that day.
00:27:16You know her?
00:27:18So, the woman in the mask that night.
00:27:20That was you, wasn't it?
00:27:23I-
00:27:28Sir, the scout has returned.
00:27:30The woman from that night has been found.
00:27:31It is not Lady Melris.
00:27:33What?
00:27:40What did you just say?
00:27:42General, we found the masked woman from that night.
00:27:45It's Lady Adele Valentine, daughter of Duke Ace.
00:27:48She's right outside.
00:27:58Melris, what on earth are you doing here?
00:28:04You two know each other.
00:28:08Good day, General.
00:28:10I am Adele Valentine.
00:28:13Melris is my cousin.
00:28:16Take them off.
00:28:23There's even a family crest engraved inside the earring.
00:28:27So that's why you came back to the castle looking for me.
00:28:33How did you come by these?
00:28:34Our grandfather had a pair of pearl earrings custom made for every girl in the Valentine family.
00:28:40My cousin likely has a pair very similar to mine, but not quite the same.
00:28:44Where were you a month ago?
00:28:45I had gone to visit my cousin that day, but as it turned out, she happened to be away at
00:28:48her mother's.
00:28:48When I arrived, I saw the castle was hosting a masquerade ball, and I was curious.
00:28:51I heard you've been searching for the person from that, so I finally worked up the courage to come to
00:28:55you.
00:28:55I know this is hardly proper, but I...
00:28:58I simply couldn't forget you.
00:29:00How can she spew such nauseating lies without a shred of shame?
00:29:05Lady Melris.
00:29:06Is what she said true?
00:29:14Lady Melris.
00:29:15Is what she said true?
00:29:25Yes.
00:29:26Everything Adel said is true.
00:29:31General, you believe me now, don't you?
00:29:38Edward.
00:29:39Sir, escort Lady Adel out.
00:29:42Prepare a generous gift to thank her for her candor.
00:29:45What?
00:29:46General, aren't we going to talk a little longer?
00:30:01Lord Eric.
00:30:02Thank you for saving me yesterday.
00:30:06I'll take my leave now.
00:30:08I also hope the general can keep what happened last night to himself.
00:30:11Wait!
00:30:11I saved you only because I have no interest in seeing my business partner come to harm.
00:30:18Business partner?
00:30:20When did I ever agree to that?
00:30:21The North cannot go a single day without grain shipments.
00:30:24Scar is worse than useless.
00:30:25I was counting on you from the start.
00:30:27Are you really going to turn me down?
00:30:29Take it.
00:30:30Come work for me.
00:30:32And I can offer you compensation beyond anything you'd imagine.
00:30:36No.
00:30:37If I stay by his side, my belly will grow day by day.
00:30:39He'll find out about the pregnancy sooner or later.
00:30:41This madman will never let me go.
00:30:42I appreciate the offer, my lord, but I must declare the proposal is already in your hands.
00:30:45I'm sure finding someone capable of understanding it won't be difficult.
00:30:47I told you, I have the power to help you reclaim every last piece of your grandfather's estate.
00:30:50Won't you at least consider?
00:30:51Perhaps you're not aware, but that fool Scar could never hold onto an estate of that size.
00:30:56Even the royal family has their eyes on that prize now.
00:30:59What do you think?
00:31:00Will Scar fight to the death to keep it, or will he trade your grandfather's legacy for a title and
00:31:04a promotion?
00:31:10Have you made up your mind?
00:31:12If what he says is true, time is running out, I have to take this gamble.
00:31:17But he can never, ever find out about the child.
00:31:19I have two conditions.
00:31:21Name them.
00:31:22First, I'll serve as your advisor for two months, with full authority over the northern trade routes.
00:31:26After two months, whether I succeed or fail, you will honor your promise and help me reclaim my entire inheritance.
00:31:31Fine.
00:31:32And the second?
00:31:34I...
00:31:36I'd like to receive part of my payment in advance to purchase a residence.
00:31:40Because of Scar?
00:31:41You've seen it yourself.
00:31:43That scum would do anything for money.
00:31:45I need somewhere safe.
00:31:46Hmm.
00:31:47Scar and his mistress have already been thrown into the dungeon on suspicion of treason and colliding with the enemy.
00:31:52You...
00:31:53When did you...
00:31:53While you were unconscious.
00:31:54And I've also had Edward replace every last guard at your castle.
00:31:58He had everything set in motion long before I woke up.
00:32:01Step by step, he's been backing me into a corner.
00:32:04What a ruthless, calculating bastard.
00:32:07You have my gratitude, General, for all the trouble you've gone to.
00:32:13Melris, just how long do you think you can keep running from me?
00:32:22Melris!
00:32:23What were you doing coming out of General Eric's estate today?
00:32:25And wearing his shirt, no less!
00:32:27Am I required to report my whereabouts to you?
00:32:29You don't have to report anything to me.
00:32:30But you're a married woman spending the night in another man's house.
00:32:34Have you no shame?
00:32:35Aren't you worried about dragging the Valentine name through the mud?
00:32:37General Eric is Scar's cousin.
00:32:38I call him my brother-in-law.
00:32:39What's wrong with visiting family?
00:32:40Forget it.
00:32:41I didn't come here to argue.
00:32:42I just wanted to remind you.
00:32:43You're already married.
00:32:44So the woman General Eric has been searching for all across the city can only be me.
00:32:47After all, you didn't come to my house that night, did you?
00:32:49I trust you know exactly what you do, my dear cousin.
00:32:50I know you envy me.
00:32:52Being the woman who'll soon be at General Eric's side.
00:32:54Not like you.
00:32:55Your mother died young, and if Grandfather hadn't gone see me and left you a scrap of
00:32:59the estate, even Scar would have been out of your league.
00:33:01So now that I've got something on you, you'd better fall in line.
00:33:04You dare hit me?
00:33:05I'll help you.
00:33:07But insulting Grandfather, that you deserved.
00:33:09And one more thing.
00:33:11My parents may have died young, but they did teach me one lesson.
00:33:14Do not provoke me, and I will not provoke you.
00:33:17But if you do provoke me, I will return it a hundredfold.
00:33:21Starting tomorrow, I'll use my knee injury as an excuse.
00:33:24I'll tell Eric I can't travel, so he'll have to come here for our discussions.
00:33:29When that happens, you can seize the opportunity yourself.
00:33:33Since when are you so generous?
00:33:35I need someone to distract him.
00:33:37You need a chance to get close to him.
00:33:39We each get what we want.
00:33:40You'd better mean what you say.
00:33:43Your vanity, dear cousin, has just done me an enormous favor.
00:33:54Two months.
00:33:56The northern route must be solid.
00:33:58How much does your garrison need for spring?
00:34:00It's still winter.
00:34:02Why ask that now?
00:34:04To be prepared.
00:34:05Spring floods are coming.
00:34:07Every foot the river rises, the supply boats draw one less foot.
00:34:12One delay, and the northern forts go hungry for three days.
00:34:17Why are you here?
00:34:18My cousin asked me to stay.
00:34:19So I did.
00:34:22I heard you talking about supplies.
00:34:24Grandfather taught me a thing or two.
00:34:26Hope you don't mind.
00:34:27If you have something useful to say, say it.
00:34:31Then I'll be bold.
00:34:33About the northern route, there are only three routes.
00:34:35She stayed up all night memorizing my plan, word for word.
00:34:39But is he really that attractive?
00:34:40That road is safest, but the terrain is rough.
00:34:43So the caravans can load at the eastern waterway.
00:34:45That way, the relay stations won't be overwhelmed.
00:34:53Just some thoughts, General.
00:34:55Don't laugh at me.
00:34:58Seems the Valiant family has more than one businesswoman.
00:35:02You're too kind, General.
00:35:04I just read a few books.
00:35:06Nothing like my cousin.
00:35:09Lady Melris.
00:35:14Did you arrange Lady Adele for me?
00:35:16As a surprise?
00:35:21Of course not.
00:35:22General, don't joke like that.
00:35:30Just joking.
00:35:32No offense, Lady Adele.
00:35:34No offense, Lady Adele.
00:35:41But you named three routes.
00:35:44Greyport's got salt inspections.
00:35:46Eastern waterways risky in spring floods.
00:35:48Northern road has bandits.
00:35:50If you had to pick one, which is safest?
00:35:53That sounds simple, but it's not.
00:35:56Weather, manpower, military schedules.
00:35:59I haven't figured it out yet.
00:36:04Use all three, General.
00:36:06Spread the risk.
00:36:07If one fails, the others keep the supply going.
00:36:11Three routes cost three times the money.
00:36:13If the Empire just wanted to buy safety,
00:36:15why hire merchants just print more coin?
00:36:18Business is like war.
00:36:20Memorizing tactics doesn't make you a general.
00:36:23He knew.
00:36:24He knew she was just reciting.
00:36:27I'm sorry.
00:36:28I didn't think it through.
00:36:31That bitch.
00:36:32She left out details on purpose.
00:36:36Made me look like a fool in front of him.
00:36:41Took you long enough.
00:36:43You want to die?
00:36:45Sorry, my lady.
00:36:46I didn't want it to be too hot.
00:36:49Useless.
00:36:50Get out.
00:36:55You like attention?
00:36:58Fine.
00:36:59I'll give you plenty.
00:37:08I wasn't much help just now.
00:37:11So I had the kitchen make coffee.
00:37:13For the general and my cousin.
00:37:25Cousin.
00:37:26You used to love this blend as a child.
00:37:29Still the same, I hope?
00:37:30She knows this coffee gives me cramps.
00:37:32And I'm pregnant.
00:37:34Thank you, cousin, but...
00:37:36I ground the beans myself this morning.
00:37:39You won't even take a sip.
00:37:40After I went to all that trouble.
00:37:42You misunderstand.
00:37:42I just take my coffee, Weesa.
00:37:44More sugar.
00:37:46Fine.
00:37:46I'll get you some.
00:37:47Wait here.
00:37:51I'll get you some.
00:37:58If I spill it, she'll say I challenge her.
00:38:01But where can I pour it with him watching?
00:38:06General.
00:38:09Next time you don't want something, knock it over.
00:38:12In front of me, you don't have to spare anyone's feelings.
00:38:16Cousin, here's your...
00:38:19General, you drank hers too?
00:38:21No.
00:38:28Sorry.
00:38:29Let me clean that up.
00:38:33Scatter.
00:38:35Then gather.
00:38:39I've got it!
00:38:40Someone said, give me a lever and I'll move the world.
00:38:43Why not find a lever for the northern route too?
00:38:47You mean Silverbush.
00:38:50Right.
00:38:51Greyport can't handle big wagons, but it can take sealed crates and small boats.
00:38:56Eastern waterways risky in spring, but lightboats can make it.
00:39:00Northern road runs empty carriages and guards.
00:39:03By the time anyone notices, the grain's already on the north.
00:39:07So we split everything into three.
00:39:09Send to Silverberg first.
00:39:11The enemy sees three fake roads.
00:39:14But the real road, they never see coming.
00:39:18A diversion!
00:39:19Brilliant!
00:39:20You really are the one I chose, Melris.
00:39:24You're too kind.
00:39:25There she goes again.
00:39:27Stealing the show.
00:39:28I should have made her drink that coffee.
00:39:30General, your neck.
00:39:32And your hands.
00:39:35Don't scratch.
00:39:38That looks like a nettle rash.
00:39:40Scratching all these scars.
00:39:42You put something in the coffee.
00:39:45No.
00:39:54I didn't, I swear.
00:39:58Get a physician.
00:39:59If there's anything in that coffee that shouldn't be there, the dungeon is the least of your worries.
00:40:03General, I was only trying to...
00:40:05Get out!
00:40:09General, until the physician arrives, the itching will get worse.
00:40:12Let me make you a salve.
00:40:14My grandfather taught me some remedies.
00:40:16Fine.
00:40:17Try.
00:40:19Quick!
00:40:20Get me plantain, calumdala, rose water and some cold cream base.
00:40:24Oh, my God.
00:40:29Out.
00:40:30Close the door.
00:40:46General, the salve is ready.
00:40:48Then what are you waiting for?
00:40:49Come here, help me put it on.
00:40:51But you said you don't like people touching you.
00:40:54Once is strange.
00:40:55Twice is familiar.
00:40:57Not the first time.
00:40:58Still shy?
00:40:59Who's shy?
00:41:01Who's shy?
00:41:09I have to admit, this body, those muscles, it's deadly.
00:41:20Had enough?
00:41:23What?
00:41:24I...
00:41:27Your salve works.
00:41:29Itching's almost gone.
00:41:31But your technique is terrible.
00:41:35General, the rash is definitely from stinging nettle.
00:41:40But the coffee is clean.
00:41:41No poison.
00:41:43What?
00:41:57General, I've tested both cups carefully.
00:42:00No poison whatsoever.
00:42:02But the handle of this cup, there's trace amounts of stinging nettle pulp.
00:42:10General, you heard him.
00:42:11No poison in the coffee.
00:42:12I was just trying to be nice.
00:42:13How could I possibly want to hurt you?
00:42:15It must be the kitchen staff.
00:42:16They handled wild vegetables without washing their hands.
00:42:19Then they touched the cups.
00:42:20That's possible.
00:42:21Young nettle can be boiled and eaten.
00:42:22Some servants use it as cheap greens.
00:42:24Cousin, this is your castle.
00:42:26Aren't you going to question your own servants?
00:42:28If someone tried to poison the general, that's a death sentence.
00:42:38The pulp is dry by now.
00:42:40No one saw her do it.
00:42:42Even if we investigate, she'll blame the kitchen.
00:42:45General, the physician already said there's no poison.
00:42:48You're not seriously hurt.
00:42:49Why don't we leave it here?
00:42:50Otherwise, someone might use this to sow discord in the household.
00:42:53Cousin, are you still accusing me?
00:42:59Just thinking out loud.
00:43:00Don't read too much into it, cousin.
00:43:06My lady, Duke Iles has arrived.
00:43:12Oh, Duke Iles!
00:43:14Father!
00:43:17My dear girl, don't cry.
00:43:19Tell me, who made you cry?
00:43:21Father, someone tried to say I poisoned General Eric's coffee.
00:43:24Eric!
00:43:24My daughter is spoiled but never dare poison anyone.
00:43:27This must be a misunderstanding.
00:43:29Don't you agree?
00:43:35Same Valentine blood.
00:43:37How can they be so different?
00:43:40Duke, don't worry.
00:43:41This happened in Lady Melris' castle.
00:43:43She's not pressing charges.
00:43:44Neither am I.
00:43:46Good.
00:43:48A misunderstanding, then.
00:43:49Let's move on.
00:43:50No!
00:43:51We can't just let this go.
00:43:53Her servants must be the ones who did this.
00:43:55We should question every single one of them.
00:43:57Shut your mouth, Adele.
00:43:59If you want Eric, don't act like a fool in front of him.
00:44:02Know when to stop.
00:44:04Understand?
00:44:06General, I'm also here on the Emperor's orders.
00:44:08He's concerned.
00:44:09You locked up Vanland Scar for treason.
00:44:12But he's still a titled noble.
00:44:13You didn't file any paperwork with the court.
00:44:15That puts the Emperor in a difficult position.
00:44:17It's a delicate matter.
00:44:19I am a witness.
00:44:20The man who broke into my castle admitted Scar sent him to assault me.
00:44:23Lady Melris, the Emperor is sympathetic to your ordeal.
00:44:25But one woman's testimony isn't enough to convict a vittart.
00:44:28Besides, you're still husband and wife.
00:44:29Wouldn't it be more dignified to find a compromise?
00:44:32No compromise.
00:44:35Lady Melris, the Emperor's wish is...
00:44:36You can tell the Emperor this.
00:44:38I may be a merchant's daughter, but I won't be bullied.
00:44:40If he wants me to drop this,
00:44:41Susker returns everything my grandfather left me,
00:44:43and he divorces me.
00:44:45What?
00:44:47I agree.
00:44:54The Valentine Estate is tied to the Northern Supply Route.
00:44:57It's a matter of Imperial security.
00:44:59Scar couldn't even protect his own wife.
00:45:01How can he be trusted with such assets?
00:45:03Better put it in the right hands.
00:45:04You too.
00:45:06I'll convey your proposal to the Emperor.
00:45:09Thank you, Duke.
00:45:19Melris, you're a clever woman.
00:45:21If you help Adele marry General Eric,
00:45:22I'll put in a good word for you with the Emperor.
00:45:25You're very invested in your daughter's marriage, Duke.
00:45:27The whole city knows Eric is looking for the masked woman from that night.
00:45:30My daughter claimed it was her.
00:45:31The Duke's honor is at stake.
00:45:33So it doesn't matter who it really was.
00:45:35It has to be Adele.
00:45:36I knew you'd understand.
00:45:47After the Duke left, things were calm.
00:45:49I put everything into the Mortham supply plan.
00:46:00Less than tid a month, our plan was ready.
00:46:03The first Tushed shipment was about to leave.
00:46:13Looks like the test run worked.
00:46:18Melris, I want to throw a banquet.
00:46:20A banquet?
00:46:23Who should we invite?
00:46:25You handle it.
00:46:33Who to invite?
00:46:35The Emperor hasn't agreed to my terms yet.
00:46:37He's still unhappy about Eric's actions.
00:46:39If I push too hard, it might backfire.
00:46:47I'll need the Duke to speak on my behalf.
00:46:53I'll need the Duke to speak on my behalf.
00:46:55My lady, what do you need?
00:47:01Deliver this to Duke Iles' estate.
00:47:03Put it in his hands personally.
00:47:19sorry for the poor hospitality please forgive me lady melres i can hardly believe it you've
00:47:26opened the northern supply route in such a short time you flatter me my lord none of this would be
00:47:31possible without general eric's trust and your support behind the scenes maris uncle the general
00:47:39isn't here yet he's dealing with urgent military matters he asked me to open the evening in his
00:47:44place a married woman acting like she's the lady of the house how does she have the nerve
00:47:53general the banquet has started aren't you going better to let it out here than lose control in
00:48:04front of everyone tonight i want every noble in the capital to see what melris is worth
00:48:09the northern supply plan plus the support of the aristocracy even if the emperor resists he'll
00:48:14have to let her take back what's hers general you've gone to great lengths for her she deserves it
00:48:20general eric is just so busy he insists on doing everything himself but he told me tonight's banquet
00:48:27nominally for celebration but actually actually what adele don't stop there actually it's for me
00:48:34is he going to propose oh don't say that but soon unlike some people can't even keep her own husband
00:48:43her inheritance is slipping away how pathetic same old lines no imagination cousin once the general and i
00:48:53are engaged do you really think you can keep hanging around him a married woman if that happens i'll
00:48:57congratulate you in another month my partnership with the general ends he'll be all yours what did you say
00:49:07say that again general you're finally here
00:49:16who invited her

00:49:35general i'll leave general you
00:49:43damn it he didn't even look at me
00:49:49why did you invite that woman
00:49:53you said i could arrange the guest list not her a liar
00:49:57the duke is the emperor's right hand i couldn't not invite him and he'd bring her
00:50:03so you sold me out to get your inheritance back yes if that's how you see it but do you
00:50:09really
00:50:09want the emperor to think you're a threat distrust you even turn against you then you lose everything

00:50:23inheritance back the two months are almost out melris why do you keep pushing me away

00:52:01truth to

01:01:24Going crazy over her!
01:01:29The whole empire will laugh at you
01:01:32for taking Saka's leftovers!
01:01:50Melis...
01:01:50Eric...
01:01:59Watch out. Saka's still here.
01:02:06Cousin, you really can't stay away from this whore, can you?
01:02:12You pathetic fool. Pointing a knife at me.
01:02:18Still looking down on me?
01:02:21After I defeat you, I'll have my fun with her.
01:02:24Then she's dead too.
01:02:25Enough talk.
01:02:30Catch Eric!
01:02:37Shut up, bitch!
01:02:43Cousin, you're a fool.
01:02:45Throwing your life away for a woman?
01:03:01No, don't kill me, cousin. We're family. Think of your aunt.
01:03:06Get out. You're not worth the effort.
01:03:11Look out!
01:03:13Look out!
01:03:16Look out!
01:03:22It's over.
01:03:24It's over.
01:03:25But you are.
01:03:27It's fine. It doesn't hurt.
01:03:39Thank God.
01:03:40You're alive.
01:03:41You idiot.
01:03:43Why do you always show up when I need you?
01:03:45You kept pushing me away, but after I took you from Saka that night, I knew it was you.
01:03:54How?
01:03:55Because you're different.
01:03:58I won the war in the north, but my regiment, Crimson Raven, was wiped out.
01:04:06Since that day, I've never really left that battlefield.
01:04:13Everyone and everything will rot in my eyes.
01:04:22You that night?
01:04:31Of course, killing those prisoners helps too. Revenge for my men. The visions stopped for a while.
01:04:37The rumors. They said you kill for fun. It's because of this.
01:04:42They had my brother's blood on their hands. They deserve to die.
01:04:46I hid from you because I thought you were a monster.
01:04:51Maybe I am, but if I hadn't met you that night, my world would be nothing but hell.
01:05:02You've suffered enough.
01:05:10My dear son-in-law, the wedding is about to start and here you are hiding in a cellar with
01:05:15another man.
01:05:15This man's wife, how unbecoming.
01:05:22Duke, is this your wedding party or a coup?
01:05:26What do you think, General?
01:05:29The Emperor himself is officiating.
01:05:32Only you could draw him here.
01:05:35Your target is the Emperor?
01:05:36Two choices.
01:05:38Put on the suit.
01:05:39Put on the suit.
01:05:40Marry my daughter.
01:05:41I promise Lady Melris will live.
01:05:45Or you both die here.
01:05:47Fine. But you swear she won't be harmed.
01:05:50Of course.
01:05:52Take the groom to change.
01:06:00Get rid of the woman. Cleanly.
01:06:04Get rid of the woman. Cleanly.
01:06:11Sorry, my lady. Nothing personal.
01:06:14You're just in the way.
01:06:29You're just in the way.
01:06:31Forgive me, my lady.
01:06:32The general had me wait outside the castle.
01:06:34He guessed something like this might happen.
01:06:41I won't kill you.
01:06:44But at the wedding, in front of the Emperor, you'll say what you said in the carriage.
01:06:49Every word.
01:06:50Lady Adele will have our heads.
01:06:53She was going to kill you anyway.
01:06:55After I'm dead, would she leave two witnesses alive?
01:06:58Fine.
01:07:00Fine.
01:07:02Time is short, Edward. Split up. You take them to the Imperial Guard.
01:07:05Wait outside the chapel. I'll go ahead.
01:07:06My lady, that's too dangerous. If the general finds out...
01:07:23These ceremonial guards are wearing battle armor.
01:07:26The Duke's men.
01:07:28Erik.
01:07:29Are you unwell?
01:07:34Your majesty, the general is merely tired.
01:07:37Wedding nerves, perhaps.
01:07:40Remember, Mellis is still in my hands.
01:07:44Ruin this wedding, she won't see tomorrow.
01:07:47General Erik Hosenheit.
01:07:50Do you take Lady Adele to be your wedded wife?
01:07:53To have and to hold?
01:07:54He does not!
01:08:10Who is that?
01:08:11How dare they interrupt the wedding in front of his majesty!
01:08:21Sorry, Lady Adele. He's already taken.
01:08:27Who are you? How dare you?
01:08:31Guards! Remove this woman!
01:08:35Impressive.
01:08:37You've saved me enough times. Let me save you for once.
01:08:45Adele, Erik doesn't belong to you.
01:08:48Oh, it's you. The whore.
01:08:50Come to seal another woman's wedding?
01:08:52Erik, come here.
01:08:52I am the one you're looking for. I'm carrying your child.
01:08:54Lie often enough when you start to believe it yourself.
01:08:58Lady Adele was never at that massacre.
01:09:00She lied.
01:09:01She forced me to cover for her because my aunt had something on me.
01:09:05That's how she feared everyone, even the general.
01:09:07Lies! You have an earring, so do I! That proves nothing!
01:09:10And I'm pregnant with the general's child that no one can deny!
01:09:16Really?
01:09:22In front of his majesty and the court, tell us, who really fathered Lady Adele's child?
01:09:30It was me! No, him! Your majesty, spare us!
01:09:34She called both of us to her chambers! We don't know whose it is!
01:09:40Duke Isles! This is the daughter you raised! How much else have you been hiding from me?
01:09:45My daughter just wanted to marry. What harm was there?
01:09:47But since you're all so eager to humiliate us...
01:09:49Your majesty, let's continue the celebration!
01:09:52Since my daughter's wedding is off, how about a coronation instead?
01:09:58Your majesty...
01:10:01You trusted that mad dog from the north too much.
01:10:04The capital's finances, the noble marriages, the palace defences...
01:10:08Who controls all of it?
01:10:10My house.
01:10:12Yes! This is treason!
01:10:14History is written by the victor.
01:10:16I wanted to use the marriage to control the general. Take my time.
01:10:19Plans change.
01:10:21You think you can protect anyone?
01:10:34You think you can protect anyone?
01:10:39Lady Mellis already won the Imperial Guard! Your own men are on their way!
01:11:07That is三十blane.
01:11:12Arrest them!
01:11:14Ever one of tribes?
01:11:17We do not fear kill her.
01:11:19I should be the one standing beside him.
01:11:23It's all because of you, Malise.
01:11:26Die, bitch!
01:11:39Eric!
01:11:39Eric!
01:11:46The bride should have been me.
01:11:55Eric.
01:11:57Eric.
01:12:00Eric!
01:12:09The General has a strong constitution.
01:12:11He'll live.
01:12:13But he needs months of rest.
01:12:14The wounds are deep.
01:12:18Why did you have to be so stupid?
01:12:21Throwing yourself in front of a knife for me?
01:12:29You even cry beautifully.
01:12:31You're awake! Stop joking at a time like this!
01:12:34I'm here.
01:12:37I'm not afraid to die.
01:12:38The only thing I'm afraid of is you ignoring me.
01:12:42If you ever throw yourself in front of a knife again,
01:12:45and I really will ignore you.
01:12:46Malise.
01:12:47Will you marry me?
01:12:58Yes.
01:12:59I'll marry you.
01:13:00You said it.
01:13:01No taking it back.
01:13:04But after I interrupted the wedding,
01:13:05everyone knows I slept with you while I was still married.
01:13:08I'm afraid.
01:13:08The Emperor doesn't approve of me.
01:13:10I'm afraid...
01:13:11As long as you're willing, nothing else matters.
01:13:26Oh.
01:13:28I almost forgot to tell you something.
01:13:37A secret.
01:13:39What secret?
01:13:45I'm pregnant.
01:13:46I'm pregnant too.
01:13:49What did you just say?
01:13:50I said I'm pregnant.
01:13:51I'm pregnant.
01:13:52Yours.
01:13:54How long?
01:13:55Since...
01:13:56That first night.
01:13:57That's my boy.
01:13:59Why didn't you tell me sooner?
01:14:00I was afraid you'd think I used you.
01:14:03That I just wanted your seed.
01:14:06Idiot.
01:14:07My child.
01:14:09I'll raise him myself.
01:14:12Then you'd better get well soon.
01:14:14For him, I'll be out of bed tomorrow.
01:14:19Don't be silly.
01:14:20The Witch Doctor said months of rest.
01:14:23Then you stay with me.
01:14:26All right.
01:14:28All right.
