00:02Christopher, meet your daughter, Zoe.
00:06And Zoe, meet your father, King Christopher.
00:11Oh, my God.
00:12Oh, my God.
00:14Is it true, Mom?
00:16I have a father?
00:17Yes, baby girl.
00:19It's true.
00:24Dad.
00:46If you were caught with me, my Lord, you could lose the crown.
00:50I don't care for anything but you, Sophie.
00:55Get up, my good Lord.
01:05Come on.
01:07Please, tell me.
01:09No.
01:10A baby.
01:14I know everything.
01:15I see everything.
01:16Now listen carefully, you little slut.
01:18If you keep this child, if you go to my son, if you so much as whisper this secret to
01:22anyone,
01:23I will call you a witch.
01:24And when the people beg for justice, I will burn you alive.
01:27Christopher will be the sole king of the Ten Kingdoms, and the only thing that could deny him this destiny
01:31is the bastard who would stain our name forever.
01:34Do you truly wish to rob this realm of the greatest king it could ever know?
01:41Once again, you have proven to all that you are the greatest warrior this kingdom has ever known.
01:46And when you return from the great battle beyond the mountains of darkness,
01:51thirty princesses shall await you.
01:53One of whom you will choose to wed and become king.
01:56About that, Mother.
01:58There is something I must tell you.
02:00There is someone I love and...
02:01Not now.
02:03I too have something of great importance to show you.
02:06Come.
02:09This is so wrong.
02:11But I must make this seem convincing enough.
02:14Make him think I'm cheating on him.
02:23Sophie.
02:25My lord.
02:26It's not what you think.
02:30Give me one good reason not to kill you.
02:32You cannot endanger the kingdom.
02:33If you kill a knight in a fit of jealousy, you will not lead the army in war.
02:41Why?
02:42I never loved you.
02:45Bullshit!
02:46You're lying!
02:47You're going to war, and then you'll marry a princess, not a maid.
02:51At least he can take care of me.
02:54My love.
02:55I had no choice.
02:57Please.
02:59Come back safe.
03:01Maybe one day, I can explain everything.
03:08That's not possible.
03:10I'm infertile.
03:11You're having a boy, see?
03:19I never thought I'd actually get to be a mother.
03:23Everything started three months ago, when he got back to the mansion after five years in the army.
03:31He's the pride son of the Sterling family.
03:34I'm just a stable girl.
03:50I'm so proud of you.
03:54Go ahead.
03:55I don't know.
03:56Sarah!
03:56My mom and stepsister.
03:59They run the staff of the estate.
04:01And me, the bottom of the staff.
04:04Patricia is desperate to find an heir or Richard's going to sell the ranch.
04:09I got it, I got it.
04:10At least one of my daughters can be useful enough.
04:13Give me some sugar.
04:15Welcome home, grandson.
04:17You got to tell me all your wonderful stories, son.
04:20Well, I will.
04:21Well, before I do, there's somebody very special I need to see.
04:24My horse.
04:36Sarah, what were you gawking at?
04:40After five years in the Navy, the last thing Mr. Sterling wants to see, or smell for that matter, is
04:49you.
04:49Yes, mom, I was, I was just told to bring her Mrs. Horst to be welcome.
04:54Don't you talk back to me!
05:02Who are you?
05:10Mom?
05:11It's Prince Christopher, baby.
05:13I heard stories about him.
05:15If you keep this child, I will burn you alive.
05:18Listen to me very carefully.
05:19You're going straight home.
05:21And you do not leave.
05:23Not for anything.
05:24Do you understand me?
05:57You've won the war.
05:59Now it is time to secure the future.
06:01Princess Sereles of Valormen, your future queen.
06:06My lord.
06:08I've heard many stories about you.
06:10I intend to give you a future worthy of your legend.
06:13I am ovulating at this very moment.
06:16I am ovulating at this very moment.
06:16You've won the war.
06:17Then, the moon.
06:20Then, the moon.
06:28Why are you?
06:39I was so afraid something would happen to you.
06:42Eight years, and not a single day passed without you.
06:47You must be exhausted.
06:49Come, I'll take you to your quarters.
06:51A hero deserves proper care.
06:59Welcome home.
07:00You must be hungry, tired, and horny.
07:04Remind me, your name?
07:06I'm Sarah-Lise of Valmauce, daughter of...
07:08Right, Sarah-Lise.
07:09I need a drink with my soldiers before I retire.
07:11I'll be in the pub.
07:12But...
07:34What is he doing here?
07:51Hi, Sophie.
07:53Hi, Christo.
07:54I mean, Your Excellency.
07:56Don't call me that.
07:57Okay, Your Excellency.
07:59Are you okay?
08:02No.
08:03Yes.
08:06I'm glad to see you're safe.
08:08I was worried.
08:10All these years.
08:11Really?
08:12You were worried about me?
08:15Sophie!
08:16What have you done?
08:18I didn't take your diseases and your stench and get out of here!
08:22You should be kissing my feet for letting you work in my pub after you were thrown out of the
08:26palace and left with nothing.
08:29Hey, relax.
08:30It was my fault.
08:32Thank you, Your Majesty.
08:33But I don't need you to protect me.
08:35I've taken care of myself for a long time.
08:37You're a rotten, miserable woman serving spoiled meat and seasoning it so no one notices.
08:45Ungrateful rat!
08:48Lower your hand.
08:49She stands under my protection.
08:51Of course, my lord.
08:55I quit.
09:08What am I going to do now?
09:10How am I supposed to feed Zoe?
09:22Here, wear this.
09:29Sophie.
09:32I need you.
09:35Funny.
09:36We kissed here once.
09:41That was a long time ago.
09:44Sophie.
09:46Come work for me.
09:48As what?
09:50I need someone to help me with my dragon.
09:53How can I help you with a dragon?
09:56You have a good heart.
09:57The best I've ever known.
09:59And that's the thing with dragons.
10:01They only follow a pure heart.
10:04And eight years of battle has taken a heavy toll on this one's heart.
10:09What do you say?
10:11I'll pay you as much as you want.
10:17But I don't think that's a good idea.
10:19Why not?
10:20Because we have a child you can't know about.
10:23Why are you shirtless?
10:28Who in the devil's name are you?
10:31I am no one.
10:36You need a long bath.
10:37Battlefield dirt is one thing.
10:39But standing so close to...
10:41That...
10:42Oh my god.
10:43Let me take care of you.
10:48Was he really that strong?
10:50Even stronger.
10:51Everyone says he tamed the dragon all by himself.
10:54And that he killed 30 walking dead.
10:57If only I could tell you that more than anything, he is your father.
11:07What are you doing?
11:08You can't just break into my house?
11:10This house belongs to the crown.
11:11You live here by permission, not by right.
11:15And you're behind on your taxes.
11:17Way behind.
11:18I know.
11:19I'm sorry.
11:20I need a few more days.
11:21I lost my job today.
11:22But I'll find another one.
11:24I'll pay everything I owe.
11:26Or...
11:27We take the girl.
11:29That should cover about half of it.
11:31Two days.
11:33After that, we take what we want.
11:40Listen to me.
11:41I always promised you a better life than this.
11:44Didn't I?
11:45So, as long as we have each other...
11:47We're safe.
11:48Exactly.
11:52I love you, Mom.
11:54I love you, too, baby girl.
11:58I'll do whatever it takes.
12:06Easy.
12:08I just want to help you.
12:13This is pointless.
12:15It's an animal.
12:17Look.
12:21When you executed or something,
12:22I just came to return Christopher's...
12:25The prince's shirt.
12:28Great.
12:29Now leave.
12:31Hey, Sophie!
12:32Come here!
12:36My prince.
12:38This is the dragon's enclosure.
12:41Commoners aren't allowed near creatures like this.
12:43Unless they're meant to be eaten.
12:45Is that your plan?
12:47To feed her to it?
12:48If so, by all means.
12:50Be my guest.
12:51No.
12:52That's not the plan.
12:55Sophie is here to help me.
13:03Don't move.
13:04He's testing you.
13:12We're not here to hurt you.
13:15We just want to ease your pain.
13:18Pathetic.
13:19She thinks she can soothe it with words.
13:33You see?
13:35I knew you are the one.
13:37So what do you say?
13:39Would you be my dragon whisperer?
13:40Sorry, my lord.
13:42We found a girl who says her mother is here.
13:48Oh, no.
13:49Zoe?
13:56Well, well.
13:57Look what the cat dragged in.
13:59I asked Sophie to become my dragon whisperer.
14:02My place is not here.
14:03I will leave now.
14:05This child seems to have gotten lost.
14:06Come quickly.
14:07You can't be here.
14:08They came back.
14:09I escaped.
14:11Mom.
14:11You have a child.
14:12What a surprise.
14:15How old is she?
14:16Six?
14:17Seven?
14:18This is Zoe.
14:20My daughter.
14:23Don't wave at your future king.
14:25Bow.
14:26No need.
14:29Hi, Zoe.
14:30Nice to meet you.
14:31I saw you riding a dragon.
14:33I'll ride dragons too.
14:34Nonsense.
14:35Women don't ride dragons.
14:38Christopher.
14:39Come.
14:40It's time the king produces an heir.
14:42I bet all the princess want to marry you.
14:45Maybe.
14:46But my heart belongs to someone else.
14:52My father was a brave soldier too.
14:55Like you.
14:58You remember the knight.
15:01I never loved you.
15:02Bullshit.
15:08Take this.
15:10I can't.
15:11She needs a roof.
15:18I told you to stay home.
15:19I was just looking.
15:21I told you never go near the palace.
15:23Why?
15:24If you knew the truth.
15:25Because it's dangerous.
15:26That's enough.
15:27At least the prince was kind.
15:30Two gold coins.
15:32What are we going to buy?
15:33We fixed the roof.
15:35Before winter.
15:42Zoe.
15:43We're leaving.
15:44Now.
15:54What is it?
15:55What is it?
16:04Go inside.
16:07Mom.
16:09Do you think we'll see the prince again?
16:12No.
16:14I'm sorry.
16:15But we won't.
16:17And I need you to promise me something.
16:20Never speak about him again.
16:23He smiled at me.
16:26He even gave us money.
16:28He's going to be king.
16:30He'll marry someone important.
16:32People like us.
16:34We don't matter to him.
16:35So please.
16:36Please.
16:37Let's forget about him.
16:38It's just you and me, alright?
16:42I feel like something bad is about to happen.
16:59There's no doubt.
17:01The child is his.
17:03His?
17:04If that child lives, the prince loses his crown.
17:10Tonight.
17:11You go to him.
17:13He barely looks at me.
17:15Then make him.
17:18Drink it.
17:23It won't turn me into a frog.
17:25Or something.
17:26Right?
17:26No, stupid.
17:28It won't change you.
17:31It will change what he sees.
17:39Go.
17:39And get pregnant.
17:42Tonight.
17:44Or you go back to the hole you crawled out of.
17:46I will do what must be done.
17:52Her daughter.
17:53I bet all the princess want to marry you.
17:56Maybe.
17:57But my heart belongs to someone else.
18:01Eight years old.
18:02Is it possible that...
18:03You remember the night.
18:15What are you doing here?
18:17I want you to relax.
18:19Listen.
18:20Whatever my mother is planning, it's not happening.
18:25Look at me.
18:26I'm not marrying you.
18:28Then don't marry me.
18:30Just take me.
18:34I can be whatever you want.
18:37I will give you everything.
18:39A sun.
18:41An air.
18:47I'm yours.
18:48For anything you desire.
18:50I have to wake up.
18:51You have to wake up.
18:52Take me.
18:53Make me yours.
18:55Make me yours.
18:59What did you do to me?
19:01You asked me to come here.
19:08Sophie, where are you?
19:11Tomorrow morning.
19:13I'll find someone to fix it.
19:15We can't leave it like this.
19:16Winter's coming, we'll freeze.
19:20I think what the prince gave us should be enough.
19:25Good evening.
19:29So, you broke the lock I put on your door and ran from me in the street.
19:33That means your debt isn't just to the queen anymore.
19:37It's to me.
19:38And now, I'm here to collect.
19:47Which drunk do you have to fuck to earn this?
19:49There's enough there to cover a full year of taxes.
19:51Now take your filthy boots and your filthy mouth and get out of my house.
20:04Mom, you were so brave.
20:06Just like dad was when he went to war, right?
20:09I can't keep living like this.
20:11He has to know.
20:13For Zoe.
20:15And for him.
20:19Hi, thank you for watching the first episodes of Bound by Fire.
20:23Want to see what's next?
20:27The kingdom needed a stronger ruler.
20:31Tomorrow, you ride to war and you return victorious.
20:37Now that your prince has gone to war, you return to what you were always meant to be.
20:41A pathetic little servant.
20:43Is all of this ours?
20:45It doesn't belong to us.
20:46Not yet.
20:48Give me back my daughter!
20:50No matter where I go, I always find my way back to you.
20:54And I will always wait.
20:57How could you do this?
20:59Hide from me that I'm a father!
21:01I was afraid she would kill me.
21:03I was afraid she would kill me.
21:03Carve, Theoresh Morath Enkai.
21:10No!
21:11Please, I didn't say-
21:12Because of you, the king is dead!
21:17Please!
21:22Daddy! Daddy!
21:37Sophie, where are you?
21:44Coming soon. Only on Shorticle.
