Short filmTranscript
00:01At three, I had no voice. House Malvern cast me as a magicless wretch, along with my sick mother.
00:14Yet today, you call me back.
00:16Young master, we've arrived.
00:18A mute heir to a magic house. No wonder he was thrown away.
00:26As a thousand-year house of magic, we have no place for a magicless wretch who can't cast a single
00:33spell.
00:35Get out!
00:37Last year, illness took mother from me.
00:40You and my cowardly father just stood by.
00:43Now you use bloodline to falsely reel me in.
00:47You think I'm still that dumb kid?
00:48Queen Victoria's banquet is in two days. The Malverns need full attendance to escape punishment.
00:54That's why I'm really here.
00:57After a seven-year absence, could you show me the way to the main hall?
01:00I'm lost.
01:01What are you waving for, little mute cult? I don't get mute signs.
01:12Insolent fool.
01:14I've killed countless before.
01:16I'm sorry, young master, that the main hall is straight ahead.
01:20I see a mute wretch, but my soul is the dark sorcerer dreaded by all demons, Mar-Logos.
01:38You are so loud.
01:44No, I'm scared.
01:50That the main hall is the time to kill.
01:53I'm scared.
02:15The Abyssal Curse has found me.
02:18There is no escape.
02:28To regain my past prime.
02:31I started the Silence Curse at three.
02:34It left me mute, unable to cast ordinary spells.
02:37Aldrich, say, Grandpa.
02:41Congenital muteness.
02:45I plan to break Mother's dying wish and stay away.
02:49But since I'm here, I'll make you all kneel and repent at my mother's grave.
03:03Silent freak.
03:04What gives you the nerve to keep us waiting?
03:07Come here and apologize.
03:11How have you been all these years?
03:14Grandpa, why bother?
03:14He is mute.
03:15Are we keeping a maid here just to read his hands?
03:19The Queen's Banquet nears.
03:22If our coldness shames this house, none of us will escape the consequences.
03:27I...
03:29Father, please, don't...
03:31You're mad.
03:31Child, I know the family failed you and your mother.
03:37But Grandpa would set things right now.
03:41Now.
03:49You are a Malvin, and you shall never wander again.
03:53Grandpa, have you lost your senses?
03:55He's a wretch who can't even chant.
03:57Keeping him will shame us all.
03:59Enough!
04:00My decision is final.
04:01Aldrich, thank your Grandpa.
04:03Quickly!
04:11You threw me away like refuse.
04:13Now you call this mercy?
04:15What does he mean?
04:17He says you threw him away like refuse.
04:21Aldrich, how could you say that?
04:23Refute.
04:23At least the wretch knows his place.
04:26I offered you a second chance for the sake of our bloodline.
04:28I saved you from wandering like a stray.
04:32House Malvern was never worthy of me.
04:34I returned to make you kneel at Mother's grave.
04:37What is all that?
04:40What is it?
04:42The young Master said he's not settled in yet.
04:45That's all.
04:46Please, Master Aldrich.
04:47I'm just trying to keep my job.
04:49Not so fast.
04:50There's something you must do first.
05:01The Queen's invitation is inside.
05:03It opens only with every family member's mark.
05:07So that's why you brought me back.
05:09Don't waste your breath, Grandpa.
05:11A mute cannot chant.
05:13No chant, no spell.
05:15He is useless.
05:18If he can't chant, I'll teach him signal casting.
05:21No chant needed.
05:22I will demonstrate only once.
05:25Watch carefully.
05:28Did you see that?
05:31Aldrich, perhaps I could explain the magical flow itself.
05:34Good Lord.
05:35Even infants grasp signal casting faster than him.
05:43Good boy.
05:50That little bastard does not deserve the Queen's banquet.
05:53Once he leaves his seal, kill him.
06:06It worked!
06:15It worked!
06:25They really know ancient, forbidden magic.
06:30The Thornheart curse?
06:32Not even an archmast would dare act under that curse.
06:35One struggle, and the body tears itself apart.
06:39Father, Aldrich is only ten.
06:42Then that kind of attitude deserves punishment.
06:45He stays here to reflect on his actions.
06:51Once the silence curse is complete,
06:54every one of you shall beg for death.
06:58Huh?
06:58What's this?
07:01Ruth.
07:02Oh, wow.
07:02So this is what your mother left you.
07:05Look at that!
07:07The mute's so desperate, he's nearly speaking.
07:12All right.
07:13Here you go.
07:21Dying for a useless little freak like you?
07:24Your mother was truly pathetic.
07:25Dying for a solution.
07:34Dying for a certain time?
07:38Eldrick!
07:39Stop at once!
07:40Your body will be torn apart!
07:41Eldrick!
07:42Please don't!
07:47Dying for a certain moment.
07:50Dying for a certain time?
07:52No!
07:57No!
07:59No!
08:01No!
08:01No!
08:02No!
08:03No!
08:03Prepare!
08:03TO DIE!
08:06TO DIE!
08:07TO DIE!
08:09TO DIE!
08:09TO DIE!
08:09TO DIE!
08:10TO DIE!
08:14TO DIE!
08:17He...
08:17He broke through the Thornheart curse.
08:20Aldric.
08:21Was this your true power all along?
08:29High Mage Emery?
08:33The silence curse remains incomplete.
08:35Forcing this much power out is still too taxing.
08:42So that power came from a High Mage after all?
08:46Exactly.
08:47He's still nothing but a useless mutt freak.
08:55Lady Emery.
08:57House Malven welcomes your arrival.
08:59So this is the mute failure you wished me to train?
09:03The Queen's invitation has been destroyed.
09:06I can take you to the banquet myself.
09:10Aldric.
09:12I shall overlook your actions this once.
09:14Go to your room and rest.
09:15Young Master.
09:17Follow me.

17:40Master, the Queen Victoria's banquet tomorrow

17:45Aldrich did not fail the Highmaster
17:47Keeping him in was a fair decision
17:50Aldrich's talent is boundless
17:52His power shall soon dazzle the whole of Theros
17:57Dazzle
17:57Will his name truly around after tomorrow's royal banquet?
18:06Chronimages
18:07Such talent for a ten-year-old
18:09Could it be he was never truly a mute?
18:13Record every mark
18:14Lock it in the library's core vault
18:16No one touch it
18:17My lord
18:18Is it truly that valuable?
18:20More valuable than everything in our faults
18:23Fail me
18:24And you answer with your life
18:26Understood, my lord
18:38At last
18:39The silence curse is shattered
18:41Even at ten
18:42No one could match me
18:45Behold Mar-La-Ghost
18:47The Dark Dread is here
18:56Where is Aldrich?
18:58The Queen is waiting, Grandpa
19:00Why delay for a magicless wretch?
19:02Theros Elite will be there, Father
19:03Bringing that rude mute will make us a laughingstock
19:07Aldrich comes with us
19:08That is final
19:11The talent he has shown these past days
19:14It is utterly terrifying
19:16Aldrich's talent is boundless
19:18His power shall soon dazzle the whole of Theros
19:22If he shines before the Queen
19:24House Malvern may rise again
19:31All are present
19:32Set forth
19:34To the Royal Palace
19:41The Royal Palace will see what House Malvern discarded
19:48Caelan
19:49Caelan
19:49All the great houses are here tonight
19:51This is your chance to honour the Malverns
19:55Seize it
19:55I will, Father
19:56I've waited years
19:58Tonight
19:59I will show them House Malvern has a true prodigy
20:05Aldrich, your cousin Caelan will surely impress the Queen tonight
20:08And receive her favour
20:09Just stay humble and serve him
20:11He'll go easy on you
20:13I bow to no one
20:14And I follow no man
20:15How can you be so stubborn?
20:17I am only trying to protect
20:20You spoke
20:22What are you doing?
20:24You'll know soon enough
20:29Seriously, Emre
20:30A ten-year-old Mastodarts even you cannot rival?
20:34A mute child who can't chant?
20:36Impossible
20:37Presenting
20:38The Noble House of Malvern
20:39If you doubt my eyes
20:41Come
20:41Witness the miracle of this millennium for yourselves
20:45Then let us see what this boy truly is
20:49The petty Malverns?
20:51Why would three High Magents greet a minor house?
20:55It must be for Caelan
20:56They say he has some talent
21:00Caelan?
21:00He's a mere pretender not worthy of their gaze
21:14Caelan, look
21:15Three High Magents
21:17All of Theris must know your name
21:19My son
21:20You have brought glory to us
21:22Missing only Her Majesty
21:24They came for me
21:34Master Merlin
21:35What troubles you?
21:37Your Majesty
21:37The mana is shifting
21:39The Grand Archmist is near
21:42Truly?
21:43Then we must hasten
21:44I must see myself
21:46You honor our name today, Masters
21:48By coming to receive us in person
21:50Just as I thought
21:51They are all here for me
21:58What is the meaning of this?
22:00They were not here for Caelan
22:03Here he comes
22:10Such an oppressive Herrera
22:14We have awaited your arrival
22:16Aldric
22:17He is the exiled kin of House Malwin
22:19Three High Mages gathered to welcome a mute wretch
22:22Pure madness
22:24Your Majesty
22:27Aldric
22:28On your knees
22:29Do not be insolent
22:32We're doomed
22:33This mute wretch is getting us all executed
22:35Bringing him was a goddamn mistake
22:38He has ruined us all
22:54So you're Queen Victoria
22:57So you're Queen Victoria
22:59I thought he was a mute
23:00He can talk
23:01How is he speaking?
23:03He was never mute
23:04This is impossible
23:08Insolence
23:08This is Her Majesty
23:09On your knees
23:16Stand down
23:18Your Majesty
23:19Please forgive Aldric
23:20Your Majesty
23:21That outcast is not a member of House Malvern
23:22Reject
23:23Children often speak without thinking
23:26It's fine
23:26Rise
23:27Your Majesty
23:28I heard several High Mages came for a ten-year-old boy
23:31Naturally I wanted to see him myself
23:33Indeed, Your Majesty
23:35I am here solely for Aldric
23:36Oh
23:37What makes this child so exceptional?
23:39Aldric knows more magic than most seasoned maces
23:46He's a prodigy
23:48A ten-year-old prodigy?
23:50Emery, you've finally gone crazy
23:51He's only ten
23:53He's not even an apprentice
23:54Go run back to your mummy
23:55Oh, that's right
23:56His mummy's gone
23:58You asked for this
24:05Enough!
24:06Forget his age
24:07He's the strongest mage alive
24:13The strongest mage?
24:15Seriously?
24:22Gavin
24:23Is Emery telling the truth
24:25About your exceptionally powerful grandson?
24:27Your Majesty
24:28Your Majesty, I
24:28Your Majesty, my cousin is all show
24:31Emery must have fallen for some cheap trick
24:33You know nothing
24:34If you had a tenth of his power
24:35Alan Mulrond would already be the greatest in Theros
24:37A tenth?
24:39Has she gone completely mad?
24:41Absurd
24:41How can a spellless freak compare to my son?
24:44He's a real prodigy
24:47Words are cheap, boy
24:48If Emery thinks so highly of you
24:50Represent House Malvern in tomorrow's royal trial
24:53And prove yourself
24:54House Malvern doesn't deserve me
24:56No!
24:57I don't accept this!
24:59He's a useless mute
25:00I'm the future of House Malvern
25:02I've trained for years
25:03How can he take my place?
25:05Silence, Kaelin!
25:07No!
25:07I was meant to be the one!
25:22A high mage has spoken
25:23Your power isn't even a tenth of his
25:25Grandpa
25:26You will understand
25:28After tonight
25:33Everyone
25:33Let us proceed to the banquet
25:41Please
25:41Be seated
25:42Your Majesty
25:51I saw the mark you left in the courtyard
25:53Child
26:01Ordinary
26:02House Malvern has wronged you
26:03And your mother
26:04We need you, Aldrich
26:06House Malvern's been looked down on for years
26:08Help us prove them wrong tomorrow
26:11I'm not a Malvern
26:12Why should I fight for strangers?
26:17Blood is law
26:18You are Aldrich Malvern
26:20Your name is your legacy
26:23From now on
26:24There is no Aldrich Malvern
26:25Call me Marlogos
26:32Sir, the registration scroll for tomorrow's trial
26:35Please sign here
26:49Grandpa is begging you
26:51One condition
26:52Name it
26:53I shall grant whatever you say
26:54After my mother and I were cast out
26:57We suffered more than you could ever know
26:59I survived
27:00Yet my mother was swallowed by disease and died
27:03I'm not here to rejoin this family
27:06I'm here to get justice for my mother
27:08If I win tomorrow
27:09You'll all kneel at my mother's grave
27:12And admit you were wrong about us
27:16You bastard
27:18How dare you say that
27:19I won't kill you
27:20Make, er, I've been Gardens
27:20I don't hate history
27:20I don't hate professionals
27:20I don't need to meet aí
27:20I don't have any tua
