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.
00:00:17He 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.
00:01:07What do you say?
00:01:08I'm just an ally, my lady.
00:01:09You're all.
00:01:11Why 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?
00:01:44Are you quite sick?
00:01:49Are you more?
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!
00:02:14Scar hasn't touched me in six months.
00:02:17Before I announce the pregnancy, I need him to sleep with me one more time.
00:02:21Melrith! 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.
00:02:47Throwing your filthy rags on the floor like this?
00:02:50Disgusting!
00:02:53Forgive 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.
00:03:27Tonight is a banquet hosted by his majesty himself for my cousin, Eric.
00:03:31Eric, if you hadn't married me, a merchant's daughter like you would never set foot in the royal palace your
00:03:37entire life.
00:03:38Exactly.
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.
00:04:36The 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.
00:05:05My lady.
00:05:06After you.
00:05:11Is that Vatret Skur's wife?
00:05:13I heard she's a merchant's daughter.
00:05:15No wonder she lacks class.
00:05:18Look at you.
00:05:19Go 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.
00:05:38I'd rather be thrown out than beg her for anything.
00:05:43My apologies, my lady.
00:05:45But we cannot allow you inside dressed like that.
00:05:47I know.
00:05:48That'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.
00:06:08General, sir.
00:06:10The general?
00:06:11Soska's cousin is him?
00:06:12If you keep, my lady, you'll be late for the banquet.
00:06:17Thank you, general.
00:06:25Actually looks better than before.
00:06:29You flatter me, general.
00:06:30Just a quick fix.
00:06:31I'll see you inside.
00:06:41That woman.
00:06:42Why does she feel so familiar?
00:07:02Eric 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.
00:07:13Rumor 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.
00:07:22I don't want people thinking I'm married a tailor's daughter.
00:07:28Perhaps he's not what the rumours say.
00:07:32A toast to you, general.
00:07:37It's getting worse.
00:07:40No.
00:07:41I need to find Edward.
00:07:42See if they've brought any spare prisoners.
00:07:46Cousin!
00:07:47The party's just starting.
00:07:49What's the rush?
00:07:50What is it?
00:07:52Oh, nothing much.
00:07:53Just notice the requisition orders for the border rations have paused.
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.
00:08:02To save the front line some coin, I've been keeping prices rock bottom for years.
00:08:07I hardly make a dime.
00:08:12So regarding the rations contract.
00:08:19Shut up!
00:08:21Cousin?
00:08:22Rations were always tight whilst I was on the front.
00:08:24We only secured the area a month ago.
00:08:26Yet when I dressed as an ally and slipped into your estate, your little masquerade was quite the lavish affair.
00:08:32General!
00:08:33I believe you are mistaken.
00:08:37The heavy snows blocked the northern passes.
00:08:40Many merchant guilds refused to go near the border even if it meant taking a loss.
00:08:45Scar hosted that ball simply to plesify the gang leaders.
00:08:47Yes, yes, exactly.
00:08:50All for the Empire.
00:08:51You're defending him.
00:08:53Just stating the facts.
00:08:55And what are you to him?
00:08:57His wife.
00:08:58So 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.
00:09:13I 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.
00:09:23Are you going to interrogate our marriage now, too?
00:09:27No.
00:09:28No.
00:09:29No.
00:09:29No.
00:09:30No.
00:09:31No.
00:09:31No.
00:09:31No.
00:09:32No.
00:09:32No.
00:09:34No.
00:09:35Forgive my introsion.
00:09:37General.
00:09:39I want a new logistics plan on my desk in two days.
00:09:42If it's the same garbage as before, then you're done with the Northern contracts.
00:09:48Forever.
00:09:48Yes, yes, of course.
00:09:50I'll redraw everything.
00:10:00A stroke of luck, actually.
00:10:02There's no way Scar can come up with a new plan if I use this to make him sleep with
00:10:06me 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. I'm just a foot soldier. I was following orders
00:10:27My girl is waiting for me back home. Please. No, please
00:10:32Oh
00:10:35Crimson Raven
00:10:40General why haven't you found the woman from the masquerade yet?
00:10:45Do we even have prisoners left to kill?
00:10:48He's been looking for me since that night quite sure you can handle the consequences
00:10:56Who's there
00:11:06Crimson Raven why haven't you found her yet? Are you quite sure you can handle the consequences?
00:11:13What the hell is wrong with you?
00:11:19Oh
00:11:19Cold-blooded monster he actually thinks of some hero of the empire don't be angry my lord have some wine
00:11:27I'm a cold-blooded monster
00:11:30I'm a cold-blooded monster
00:11:30And I'm a care me as a child
00:11:31If you find out I only used him for his food, you'll care me to pieces
00:11:35No, the planning you take can start
00:11:44Women who come to my door usually fall into one of two categories
00:11:47Those who want to get pregnant with someone else's child and those who want to get rid of their own
00:11:52Which one are you?
00:11:54The latter
00:11:58I'm out of a few herbs I need to go fetch them
00:12:09There's a gentleman in the back room who claims he's being haunted by the dead
00:12:13If you hear him ring the bell do me a favor and toss some of this incense into the burner
00:12:16for him
00:12:24Let go
00:12:26What are you doing?
00:12:29What is Scar's wife doing in a place like this?
00:12:37With someone else's child and those who want to get rid of their own
00:12:41Those who want to get pregnant
00:12:44Surely the general doesn't think I'm the latter
00:12:46I hear you and Scar have only been married for three months
00:12:48In such a rush to have a baby
00:12:51You're awfully invested in other people's private matters general
00:12:55Get out
00:12:59I caused the burn
00:13:00The least I can do is treat it
00:13:02Not necessary, leave the medicine I'll do it myself
00:13:04You can't exactly reach your own back
00:13:14What a perfect body
00:13:16Do you usually tend to your own mark general?
00:13:19Yes, I don't like people touching my body
00:13:22Apologies, this might sting a bit general
00:13:24All done
00:13:26Hold on
00:13:27Have you seen it before?
00:13:30Never
00:13:31Is that so?
00:13:32I think it would suit you perfectly
00:13:36General, please mind your boundaries
00:13:39Percent exactly the same
00:13:48Changed your mind?
00:13:49If the man inside asked what I was doing here
00:13:51Tell him the exact opposite
00:13:57He has the earring
00:13:58If you find out the secret, I'll never be able to explain myself
00:14:01I need to end this
00:14:03Fast
00:14:06How is there so much of this?
00:14:11Caravans
00:14:12Tariffs
00:14:13Where's housing
00:14:14That Lunar Talk wants me to reorganize everything in two days
00:14:16Does he think I'm the Chancellor of the Exement?
00:14:19Don't be so grumpy, my lord
00:14:21Besides, selling off a few properties will keep us comfortable for a long time
00:14:25What do you know?
00:14:27I refuse to end up like my father
00:14:29Eating through his fortune till nothing was left but the title of a broke nobleman
00:14:40But I suppose you have a point
00:14:42What's the harm in selling one or two?
00:14:48Gently
00:14:50I can't keep the baby
00:14:52I can't keep it
00:14:56Did you hear?
00:14:57The alley is starting to sell off the family estates
00:15:00But those belong to her ladyship's grandfather
00:15:04Where did you hear that?
00:15:06My lady
00:15:06What is going on?
00:15:09The ally said that the northern contracts are likely gone
00:15:12So he's selling off assets early to cover our expenses
00:15:15Scar?
00:15:23Scar, we need to talk
00:15:29Ever heard of knocking?
00:15:32Don't stop
00:15:33You picked a bad time
00:15:36If you still want the northern contracts, tell her to get out
00:15:40You have a logistics plan?
00:15:42I said, tell her to get out
00:15:47Scar?
00:15:51Get out
00:15:53Hmm
00:15:53Why bother kicking me out?
00:15:55We're both women
00:15:56I can tell you've no interest in intense confrontation, me for him
00:15:59Not necessarily
00:16:03Spill it
00:16:05What's your play?
00:16:07I already have a solution for the northern supply routes
00:16:10Tomorrow I'll go with you to see Eric
00:16:13You seem... different today
00:16:16You were just too focused on my grandfather's money to notice
00:16:19Save it
00:16:19If you fix this logistics mess, I might actually treat you a bit better
00:16:22On the condition that you stop selling off the grandfather's estate
00:16:28Deal
00:16:30But wait!
00:16:32What is it?
00:16:34You're more beautiful
00:16:35Intoxicating
00:16:37More?
00:16:38But let me tell you
00:16:39My name is Scar
00:16:40Scar
00:16:41Elfrancis
00:16:43That was close
00:16:51Wait...
00:16:51Is that her ladyship?
00:16:53Breath?
00:16:54Are you crazy?
00:16:55How dare you fantasize about her ladyship?
00:16:57I'm scared
00:16:59Gently
00:17:00No, I've been telling you that so once
00:17:02Wait, wait
00:17:03I think I heard it too
00:17:09Don't do that
00:17:10Did you hear?
00:17:11Her ladyship actually consummated the marriage with the ally
00:17:15I thought he never touched her
00:17:16It's true!
00:17:20Doesn't she find him repulsive?
00:17:23Finally over
00:17:26If he tries to sell my inheritance once, he'll do it again
00:17:29How much worse can things possibly get?
00:17:32I'm risking it!
00:17:34It's not as if I have any other way out
00:17:44You don't want to make a fool of yourself in front of your cousin, do you?
00:17:52That was rape!
00:17:54Rape?
00:17:54Aren't we husband and wife?
00:17:56Are you going to tell the whole world that I raped you, Lord Banknet?
00:17:59A merchant's daughter
00:18:00Shameless as expected
00:18:02Your grandfather's entail is clear
00:18:03Only your legitimate child can inherit the valentine shops, lands and granaries
00:18:09But I'm telling you right now, you won't get a second chance like that
00:18:11What, once wasn't enough?
00:18:13Do you really have that little faith in your own... stamina?
00:18:16You bitch!
00:18:17Don't celebrate just yet, Mellis
00:18:18Once you secure those northern contracts for me, you'll be completely useless
00:18:22I'll make you wish you were dead
00:18:28Two days
00:18:30Interesting, seems you haven't been slacking after all
00:18:34Of course
00:18:36How could I neglect a direct order from the general?
00:18:38I poured my energy, sweat and tears into this...
00:18:41But why does it say to bypass Ashport?
00:18:46Well, because... because that port is narrow
00:18:50Right? The roads are terrible
00:18:51I hear it's the largest port in the entire empire
00:18:54Did you not know that?
00:18:55Because Ashport has been cracking down on salt smuggling recently
00:18:58The caravans are critical military ranchers for the north
00:19:00If they go through Ashport and get detained on suspicion of smuggling
00:19:02The delays would starve the northern garrisons within three weeks
00:19:05That's why we must reroute through the eastern waterways
00:19:08Although it adds four days to the journey
00:19:11But at least it's secure
00:19:19Fascinating
00:19:20It seems you aren't the real businessmen in the Alfonson family, Scott
00:19:23No, that's not true!
00:19:24A lot of the other routes were my idea!
00:19:27I'd hate being lied to
00:19:29Next time it'll be your throat on the end of this blade
00:19:33Close one
00:19:33Looks like he still hasn't recognized me
00:19:35The northern contracts are yours, fine
00:19:38But she has to be involved
00:19:40But cousin!
00:19:41Get out
00:19:44Lady Melis
00:19:46I didn't say you could leave
00:20:04Melis Valentine
00:20:05Melis Valentine
00:20:06Your grandfather built a fine business
00:20:08But a merchant's a merchant
00:20:10The Alfonson family's fallen shore
00:20:12But they still have a title
00:20:14You married him?
00:20:15Give and take
00:20:18Must be humiliating though
00:20:25If you're trying to stir trouble between us, I'll leave
00:20:29The North is secured, but the Empire is still surrounded
00:20:32I need talent
00:20:33Join my staff
00:20:35Good pay, and I'll help you take back everything Scust stole
00:20:39Something's off
00:20:40You flatter me, General
00:20:41But I'm just a woman
00:20:43Why go through all this trouble for me?
00:20:45Because the perfume you wear
00:20:49Smells just like someone
00:20:52Someone I can't forget
00:20:54My perfume costs three silver coins
00:20:56Half the girls in the city wear it
00:20:59I enjoy a good play in my spare time
00:21:00Been working on one lately
00:21:01A husband steals his wife's inheritance
00:21:03Flaunts his affair
00:21:05So the wife, to masquerade
00:21:06Takes a stranger to bed
00:21:08Right under his nose
00:21:09What do you think, my lady?
00:21:10Better than what's on at the theater?
00:21:12You've missed your calling, General
00:21:13Should've been a playwright
00:21:14Put them on, then I'll know
00:21:17General, please
00:21:18I just want to be sure
00:21:23Is this your war room or a torture chamber?
00:21:28Both
00:21:28Let go!
00:21:30Have you lost your mind?
00:21:33This madman
00:21:35He can't find out
00:21:39Watch out!
00:21:43The great general
00:21:44Assaulting his cousin's wife
00:21:45And his own whole empire
00:21:46Would be ashamed
00:21:47Find someone else for your staff, General
00:21:57My lady, the Allies celebrating the Northern Deal
00:22:00He's taken Lady Lilith to the hunting lodge
00:22:02And chose not to wait for you
00:22:07Fine
00:22:08Earrings gone, scars gone
00:22:10At least tonight I get some peace
00:22:14General!
00:22:16Are you alright?
00:22:17What happened here?
00:22:22Did you check her aunt's place?
00:22:24Find out if she was really there that night?
00:22:30It's a long way
00:22:31My man won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest
00:22:37Dammit!
00:22:40General!
00:22:41Where are you going?
00:22:43To see her
00:22:44Now!
00:22:48Toby!
00:22:49The Valentine crest!
00:23:02Awake?
00:23:03Good!
00:23:04I don't like them cold
00:23:09Here you go
00:23:11Get off!
00:23:14You bitch!
00:23:16This guy said you were a handful
00:23:17He was right
00:23:18I like that
00:23:23Help!
00:23:25Help!
00:23:30Keep yelling, sweethearts
00:23:32There's no one here
00:23:34Just you and me
00:23:36Me
00:23:37Me
00:23:43Hmm
00:23:46A real lady
00:23:47Worth every penny
00:23:49Come here
00:23:52Why?
00:23:54How did it come to this?
00:23:57I just wanted back what was mine
00:24:04You dare?
00:24:13Where the hell are you?
00:24:17How did you?
00:24:25Get a carriage
00:24:26General
00:24:28She's still Vadraska's wife
00:24:29Taking her like this
00:24:30Is that wise?
00:24:32You think that bastard treats her like a wife?
00:24:37What a pain
00:24:38First he cancels the party
00:24:40Now we're rushing back in the rain
00:24:42Clever move my lord
00:24:43Catch the bitch red handed
00:24:45Of course
00:24:46Even if she is pregnant
00:24:48Who knows whose bastard it is
00:24:49She'll never touch my inheritance
00:24:56Why have we stopped?
00:24:57Scar al frontis
00:24:59Burglars!
00:25:07Protect the master
00:25:14Cousin
00:25:14What are you doing here?
00:25:16Three sentences
00:25:18Explain
00:25:19I took everyone to the hunting lodge
00:25:21There must be some misunderstanding
00:25:23Two
00:25:23She's my wife
00:25:24This is a family matter
00:25:26You shouldn't-
00:25:26Three!
00:25:27General
00:25:28This is still our house
00:25:30And you're holding our mistress
00:25:32Doesn't look right, does it?
00:25:38Not right
00:25:38Melis is in charge of my northern supply lines
00:25:41She was nearly assault in her own home
00:25:44You and Scar are suspects
00:25:46I'm taking her in for questioning
00:25:48Eric, you can't-
00:25:49Edward!
00:25:50Sir!
00:26:00Drive faster!
00:26:01Get to the witch doctor!
00:26:03Now!
00:26:12Well, well, look who's awake
00:26:15My dear wife
00:26:16Did you really think you could get away?
00:26:18Watching us enjoy your grandfather's fortune
00:26:21Must break your heart
00:26:25He always be ours
00:26:28But it was always meant to be ours
00:26:37Maris
00:26:38As your savior
00:26:39I think I've earned the right to know the truth about that night
00:26:43You're-
00:26:44You're right
00:26:55You're awake
00:26:55My clothes
00:26:57You cut your knee pretty badly fighting that bastard
00:26:59They were soaked in blood
00:27:00I threw them out
00:27:08Then who changed me into this?
00:27:12The witch doctor from that day
00:27:14You know her?
00:27:16So, the woman in the mask that night
00:27:19That was you, wasn't it?
00:27:22I-
00:27:26Sir, the scout has returned
00:27:27The woman from that night has been found
00:27:29It is not Lady Melris
00:27:32What?
00:27:38What did you just say?
00:27:41General, we found the masked woman from that night
00:27:43It's Lady Adele Valentine, daughter of Duke Ace
00:27:46She's right outside
00:27:55Melris
00:27:56What on earth are you doing here?
00:28:02You two know each other
00:28:06Good day, General
00:28:07I am Adele Valentine
00:28:11Melris is my cousin
00:28:14Take them off
00:28:21There's even a family crest engraved inside the earring
00:28:25So that's why you came back to the castle looking for me
00:28:31How did you come by these?
00:28:32Our grandfather had a pair of pearl earrings custom made for every girl in the Valentine family
00:28:38My cousin likely has a pair very similar to mine
00:28:40But not quite the same
00:28:41Where were you a month ago?
00:28:43I had gone to visit my cousin that day
00:28:44But as it turned out she happened to be away at her mother's
00:28:46When I arrived I saw the castle was hosting a masquerade ball and I was curious
00:28:49I heard you've been searching for the person from that
00:28:51So I finally worked up the courage to come to you
00:28:53I know this is hardly proper but I
00:28:56I simply couldn't forget you
00:28:58How can she spew such nauseating lies without a shred of shame?
00:29:02Lady Melris
00:29:04Is what she said true?
00:29:11Lady Melris
00:29:13Is what she said true?
00:29:22Lady Melris
00:29:24Everything Adele said is true
00:29:29General, you believe me now, don't you?
00:29:36Edward.
00:29:37Sir, escort Lady Adel out, prepare a generous gift to thank her for her candid.
00:29:43What? General, aren't we going to talk a little longer?
00:29:59Lord Eric, thank you for saving me yesterday.
00:30:04I'll take my leave now. I also hope the General can keep what happened last night to himself.
00:30:09Wait! I saved you only because I have no interest in seeing my business partner come to harm.
00:30:16Business partner? When did I ever agree to that?
00:30:19The North cannot go a single day without grain shipments.
00:30:22Scar is worse than useless. I was counting on you from the start. Are you really going to turn me
00:30:26down?
00:30:27Take it. Come work for me. And I can offer you compensation beyond anything you'd imagine.
00:30:34No. If I stay by his side, my belly will grow day by day. He'll find out about the pregnancy
00:30:38sooner or later.
00:30:39This madman will never let me go.
00:30:40I appreciate the offer, my lord, but I must declare the proposal is already in your hands.
00:30:43I'm sure finding someone capable of understanding it won't be difficult.
00:30:45I told you, I have the power to help you reclaim every last piece of your grandfather's estate.
00:30:48Won't you at least consider?
00:30:49Perhaps you're not aware, but that full scar could never hold on to an estate of that size.
00:30:54Even the royal family has their eyes on that prize now. What do you think?
00:30:58Will Scar fight to the death to keep it, or will he trade your grandfather's legacy for a title and
00:31:02a promotion?
00:31:08Have you made up your mind?
00:31:10If what he says is true, time is running out, I have to take this gamble.
00:31:15But he can never, ever find out about the child.
00:31:17I have two conditions.
00:31:19Name them.
00:31:19First, I'll serve as your advisor for two months, with full authority over the northern trade routes.
00:31:24After two months, whether I succeed or fail, you will honor your promise and help me reclaim my entire inheritance.
00:31:29Fine. And the second?
00:31:32I...
00:31:34I'd like to receive part of my payment in advance to purchase a residence.
00:31:38Because of Scar?
00:31:39You've seen it yourself.
00:31:40That scum would do anything for money.
00:31:43I need somewhere safe.
00:31:44Hmm. Scar and his mistress have already been thrown into the dungeon on suspicion of treason and colliding with the
00:31:50enemy.
00:31:50You... when did you...
00:31:51While you were unconscious.
00:31:52And I've also had Edward replace every last guard at your castle.
00:31:56He had everything set in motion long before I woke up.
00:31:59Step by step, he's been backing me into a corner.
00:32:01What a ruthless, calculating bastard.
00:32:05You have my gratitude, General, for all the trouble you've gone to.
00:32:11Melris, just how long do you think you can keep running from me?
00:32:20Melris!
00:32:20What were you doing coming out of General Eric's estate today?
00:32:23And wearing his shirt, no less!
00:32:25Am I required to report my whereabouts to you?
00:32:27You don't have to report anything to me.
00:32:28But you're a married woman spending the night in another man's house.
00:32:31Have you no shame?
00:32:32Aren't you worried about dragging the Valentine name through the mud?
00:32:34General Eric is Scar's cousin.
00:32:36I call him my brother-in-law.
00:32:37What's wrong with visiting family?
00:32:38Forget it, I didn't come here to argue.
00:32:39I just wanted to remind you, you're already married.
00:32:41So the woman General Eric has been searching for all across the city can only be me.
00:32:45After all, you didn't come to my house that night, did you?
00:32:47I trust you know exactly what to do, my dear cousin.
00:32:48I know you envy me, being the woman who'll soon be at General Eric's side.
00:32:52Not like you.
00:32:53Your mother died young, and if Grandfather hadn't gone seen me and left you a scrap of the estate,
00:32:57even Scar would have been out of your league.
00:32:59So now that I've got something on you, you better fall in line.
00:33:02You dare hit me?
00:33:03I'll help you, but insulting Grandfather, that you deserved.
00:33:07And one more thing.
00:33:08My parents may have died young, but they did teach me one lesson.
00:33:12Do not provoke me, and I will not provoke you.
00:33:15But if you do provoke me, I will return it a hundredfold.
00:33:19Starting tomorrow, I'll use my knee injury as an excuse.
00:33:22I'll tell Eric I can't travel, so he'll have to come here for our discussions.
00:33:27When that happens, you can seize the opportunity yourself.
00:33:31Since when are you so generous?
00:33:33I need someone to distract him.
00:33:35You need a chance to get close to him.
00:33:37We each get what we want.
00:33:38He'd better mean what you say.
00:33:41Your vanity, dear cousin, has just done me an enormous favor.
00:33:52Two months.
00:33:53The northern route must be solid.
00:33:55How much does your garrison need for spring?
00:33:58It's still winter.
00:34:00Why ask that now?
00:34:01To be prepared.
00:34:03Spring floods are coming.
00:34:05Every foot the river rises.
00:34:06The supply boats draw one less foot.
00:34:09One delay, and the northern forts go hungry for three days.
00:34:14Why are you here?
00:34:16My cousin asked me to stay.
00:34:17So I did.
00:34:19I heard you talking about supplies.
00:34:21Grandfather taught me a thing or two.
00:34:23Hope you don't mind.
00:34:24If you have something useful to say, say it.
00:34:29Then I'll be bold.
00:34:30About the northern route, there are only three routes.
00:34:33She stayed up all night memorizing my plan, word for word.
00:34:36But is he really that attractive?
00:34:38That road is safest, but the terrain is rough.
00:34:40So the caravans can load at the eastern waterway.
00:34:43That way, the relay stations won't be overwhelmed.
00:34:50Just some thoughts, General.
00:34:52Don't laugh at me.
00:34:56Seems the Valiant family has more than one businesswoman.
00:35:00You're too kind, General.
00:35:02I just read a few books.
00:35:03Nothing like my cousin.
00:35:06Lady Melris.
00:35:11Did you arrange Lady Adele for me?
00:35:14As a surprise?
00:35:18Of course not.
00:35:20General, don't joke like that.
00:35:28Just joking.
00:35:29No offense, Lady Adele.
00:35:39But you named three routes.
00:35:41Grayport's got salt inspections.
00:35:43Eastern waterways risky in spring floods.
00:35:46Northern road has bandits.
00:35:47If you had to pick one, which is safest?
00:35:51That sounds simple, but it's not.
00:35:53Weather, manpower, military schedules.
00:35:56I haven't figured it out yet.
00:36:02Use all three, General.
00:36:03Spread the risk.
00:36:05If one fails, the others keep the supply going.
00:36:08Three routes cost three times the money.
00:36:10If the Empire just wanted to buy safety,
00:36:12why hire merchants just print more coin?
00:36:16Business is like war.
00:36:18Memorizing tactics doesn't make you a General.
00:36:20He knew.
00:36:22He knew she was just reciting.
00:36:25I'm sorry.
00:36:26I didn't think it through.
00:36:29That bitch.
00:36:30She left out details on purpose.
00:36:33Made me look like a fool in front of him.
00:36:39Took you long enough.
00:36:40You want to die?
00:36:43Sorry, my lady.
00:36:44I didn't want it to be too hot.
00:36:47Useless.
00:36:48Get out.
00:36:53You like attention?
00:36:55Fine.
00:36:56I'll give you plenty.
00:37:06I wasn't much help just now.
00:37:08So I had the kitchen make coffee.
00:37:10For the General and my cousin.
00:37:23Cousin, you used to love this blend as a child.
00:37:26Still the same, I hope?
00:37:27She knows this coffee gives me cramps.
00:37:29And I'm pregnant.
00:37:31Thank you, cousin, but...
00:37:34I ground the beans myself this morning.
00:37:36You won't even take a sip.
00:37:38After I went to all that trouble.
00:37:39You misunderstand.
00:37:40I just take my coffee, Weesa.
00:37:42More sugar.
00:37:43Fine.
00:37:44I'll get you some.
00:37:45Wait here.
00:37:55If I spill it, she'll say I challenge her.
00:37:58But where can I pour it with him watching?
00:38:03General.
00:38:06Next time you don't want something, knock it over.
00:38:09In front of me, you don't have to spare anyone's feelings.
00:38:14Cousin, here's your...
00:38:17General, you drank hers too?
00:38:25Sorry, let me clean that up.
00:38:30Scatter.
00:38:32Then gather.
00:38:36I've got it!
00:38:38Someone said, give me a lever and I'll move the world.
00:38:41Why not find a lever for the northern route too?
00:38:45You mean Silverbush.
00:38:47Right.
00:38:48Grayport can't handle big wagons,
00:38:51but it can take sealed crates and small boats.
00:38:54Eastern waterways risky in spring,
00:38:56but light boats can make it.
00:38:57Northern road runs empty carriages and guards.
00:39:01By the time anyone notices,
00:39:03the grain's already on the north.
00:39:04So we split everything into three.
00:39:06Sent to Silverberg first.
00:39:08The enemy sees three fake roads,
00:39:11but the real wave they never see coming.
00:39:15A diversion.
00:39:17Brilliant.
00:39:18You really are the one I chose, Melris.
00:39:21You're too kind.
00:39:23There she goes again,
00:39:24stealing the show.
00:39:26I should have made her drink that coffee.
00:39:28General,
00:39:28your neck
00:39:29and your hands.
00:39:32Don't scratch.
00:39:36That looks like a nettle rash.
00:39:37Scratching all these scars.
00:39:39You put something in the coffee.
00:39:42No.
00:39:51I didn't, I swear.
00:39:55Get a physician.
00:39:56If there's anything in that coffee
00:39:57that shouldn't be there,
00:39:58the dungeon is the least of your worries.
00:40:00General, I was only trying to...
00:40:02Get out!
00:40:06General, until the physician arrives,
00:40:08the itching will get worse.
00:40:09Let me make you a salve.
00:40:11My grandfather taught me some remedies.
00:40:14Fine.
00:40:14Try.
00:40:17Quick!
00:40:17Get me plantase,
00:40:18calendula,
00:40:19rose water
00:40:20and some cold cream bakes.
00:40:21Oh, my God.
00:40:23Oh.
00:40:27Close the door.
00:40:43General,
00:40:44the salve is ready.
00:40:45Then what are you waiting for?
00:40:46Come here,
00:40:46help me put it on.
00:40:49But you said you don't like people touching you.
00:40:51Once is strange,
00:40:52twice is familiar.
00:40:54Not the first time.
00:40:55Still shy?
00:40:56Who's shy?
00:41:06Have to admit,
00:41:08this body,
00:41:10those muscles,
00:41:12it's deadly.
00:41:17Had enough?
00:41:20What?
00:41:21I...
00:41:24Your salve works.
00:41:26Itching's almost gone.
00:41:27But your technique is terrible.
00:41:33General!
00:41:34The rash is definitely from stinging nettle.
00:41:37But the coffee is clean.
00:41:38No poison.
00:41:39What?
00:41:54General,
00:41:55I've tested both cups carefully.
00:41:57No poison whatsoever.
00:41:59But the handle of this cup,
00:42:02there's trace amounts of stinging nettle pulp.
00:42:08No poison in the coffee.
00:42:09No poison in the coffee.
00:42:09I was just trying to be nice.
00:42:10How could I possibly want to hurt you?
00:42:12It must be the kitchen staff.
00:42:13They handled wild vegetables without washing their hands.
00:42:16Then they touched the cups.
00:42:17That's possible.
00:42:18Young nettle can be boiled and eaten.
00:42:19Some servants use it as cheap greens.
00:42:21Cousin,
00:42:22this is your castle.
00:42:23Aren't you going to question your own servants?
00:42:25If someone tried to poison the general,
00:42:27that's a death sentence.
00:42:35The pulp is dry by now.
00:42:38No one saw her do it.
00:42:39Even if we investigate,
00:42:40she'll blame the kitchen.
00:42:42General,
00:42:42the physician already said there's no poison.
00:42:45You're not seriously hurt.
00:42:46Why don't we leave it here?
00:42:47Otherwise,
00:42:48someone might use this to sow discord in the household.
00:42:51Cousin,
00:42:52are you still accusing me?
00:42:56Just thinking out loud.
00:42:57Don't read too much into it,
00:42:59cousin.
00:43:03My lady,
00:43:05Duke Isles has arrived.
00:43:09Duke Isles!
00:43:11Father!
00:43:14My dear girl,
00:43:15don't cry.
00:43:16Tell me.
00:43:16Who made you cry?
00:43:18Father,
00:43:18someone tried to say
00:43:19I poisoned General Eric's coffee.
00:43:21Eric,
00:43:21my daughter is spoiled
00:43:23but never dare poison anyone.
00:43:24This must be a misunderstanding.
00:43:26Don't you agree?
00:43:31Same Valentine blood.
00:43:33How can they be so different?
00:43:37Duke,
00:43:37don't worry.
00:43:38This happened in Lady Melris' castle.
00:43:40She's not pressing charges.
00:43:41Neither am I.
00:43:43Good.
00:43:44A misunderstanding then.
00:43:46Let's move on.
00:43:47No!
00:43:48We can't just let this go.
00:43:50Her servants must be the ones who did this.
00:43:52We should question every single one of them.
00:43:54Shut your mouth, Adele.
00:43:56If you want Eric,
00:43:57don't act like a fool in front of him.
00:43:59Know when to stop.
00:44:01Understand?
00:44:03General,
00:44:03I'm also here on the Emperor's orders.
00:44:05He's concerned.
00:44:06You locked up Vanland Scar for treason.
00:44:08But he's still a titled noble.
00:44:10You didn't file any paperwork with the court.
00:44:12That puts the Emperor in a difficult position.
00:44:14It's a delicate matter.
00:44:15I am a witness.
00:44:16The man who broke into my castle
00:44:18admitted Scar sent him to assault me.
00:44:20Lady Melris,
00:44:20the Emperor is sympathetic to your ordeal,
00:44:22but one woman's testimony
00:44:23isn't enough to convict a Vittart.
00:44:25Besides,
00:44:25you're still husband and wife.
00:44:26Wouldn't it be more dignified
00:44:28to find a compromise?
00:44:29No compromise.
00:44:31Lady Melris,
00:44:32the Emperor's wish is...
00:44:33You can tell the Emperor this.
00:44:35I may be a merchant's daughter,
00:44:36but I won't be bullied.
00:44:37If he wants me to drop this,
00:44:38Suscar returns everything
00:44:39my grandfather left me
00:44:40and he divorces me.
00:44:42That's...
00:44:44I agree.
00:44:51The Valentine estate
00:44:52is tied to the northern supply route.
00:44:54It's a matter of Imperial security.
00:44:56Scar couldn't even protect his own wife.
00:44:58How can he be trusted with such assets?
00:45:00Better put it in the right hands.
00:45:01You too.
00:45:02I'll convey your proposal
00:45:04to the Emperor.
00:45:05Thank you, Duke.
00:45:15Melris,
00:45:16you're a clever woman.
00:45:17If you help Adele
00:45:18marry General Eric,
00:45:19I'll put in a good word
00:45:20for you with the Emperor.
00:45:22You're very invested
00:45:23in your daughter's marriage, Duke.
00:45:24The whole city knows Eric
00:45:25is looking for the masked woman
00:45:26from that night.
00:45:27My daughter claimed it was her.
00:45:28The Duke's honor is at stake.
00:45:30So it doesn't matter
00:45:31who it really was.
00:45:32It has to be Adele.
00:45:34I knew you'd understand.
00:45:43After the Duke left,
00:45:45things were calm.
00:45:46I put everything
00:45:47into the Mortham supply plan.
00:45:57Less than a month,
00:45:58our plan was ready.
00:46:00The first Tushed shipment
00:46:01was about to leave.
00:46:09Looks like the test run worked.
00:46:14Melris,
00:46:15I want to throw a banquet.
00:46:17A banquet?
00:46:19Who should we invite?
00:46:21You handle it.
00:46:30Who to invite?
00:46:31The Emperor hasn't agreed
00:46:33to my terms yet.
00:46:34He's still unhappy
00:46:34about Eric's actions.
00:46:36If I push too hard,
00:46:37it might backfire.
00:46:44I'll need the Duke
00:46:45to speak on my behalf.
00:46:50Beth?
00:46:51My lady,
00:46:53what do you need?
00:46:58Deliver this to Duke
00:46:59Isles' estate.
00:47:00Put it in his hands personally.
00:47:16Sorry for the poor hospitality.
00:47:18Please forgive me.
00:47:20Lady Melris,
00:47:21I can hardly believe it.
00:47:22You've opened
00:47:23the Northern supply route
00:47:24in such a short time.
00:47:25You flatter me, my lord.
00:47:27None of this would be possible
00:47:28without General Eric's trust.
00:47:30And your support
00:47:32behind the scenes.
00:47:33Melris.
00:47:34Uncle.
00:47:35The General isn't here yet?
00:47:37He's dealing with
00:47:38urgent military matters.
00:47:39He asked me to open
00:47:40the evening in his place.
00:47:42A married woman
00:47:43acting like she's
00:47:44the lady of the house.
00:47:45How does she have the nerve?
00:47:49General,
00:47:50the banquet has started.
00:47:52Aren't you going?
00:47:53Better to let it out here
00:47:54than lose control
00:47:55in front of everyone.
00:48:02Tonight,
00:48:02I want every noble
00:48:03in the capital
00:48:03to see what Melris is worth.
00:48:06The Northern supply plan
00:48:07plus the support
00:48:08of the aristocracy.
00:48:09Even if the emperor resists,
00:48:10he'll have to let her
00:48:11take back what's hers.
00:48:12General,
00:48:12you've gone to great lengths
00:48:13for her.
00:48:15She deserves it.
00:48:16General Eric
00:48:17is just so busy.
00:48:18He insists on doing
00:48:19everything himself,
00:48:20but he told me
00:48:22tonight's banquet
00:48:24nominally for celebration,
00:48:25but actually...
00:48:26Actually, what?
00:48:27Adele,
00:48:27don't stop there.
00:48:29Actually,
00:48:30it's for me.
00:48:31Is he going to propose?
00:48:33Oh, don't say that.
00:48:34But soon.
00:48:37Unlike some people,
00:48:38can't even keep
00:48:39her own husband.
00:48:40Her inheritance
00:48:41is slipping away.
00:48:42How pathetic.
00:48:44Same old lines.
00:48:46No imagination.
00:48:47Cousin,
00:48:48once the general
00:48:49and I are engaged,
00:48:50do you really think
00:48:50you can keep
00:48:51hanging around him?
00:48:52A married woman?
00:48:53If that happens,
00:48:54I'll congratulate you.
00:48:55In another month,
00:48:56my partnership
00:48:56with the general
00:48:57ends.
00:48:57He'll be all yours.
00:48:58What did you say?
00:49:04Say that again.
00:49:05General,
00:49:06you're finally here.
00:49:13Who invited her?
00:49:21Who invited her?
00:49:24My cousin meant well.
00:49:26She wrote to me herself,
00:49:28asked me to come.
00:49:30If I've upset the general,
00:49:32I'll leave.
00:49:33General,
00:49:35you...
00:49:39Damn it.
00:49:40He didn't even look at me.
00:49:46Why did you invite that woman?
00:49:49You said I could arrange
00:49:50the guest list.
00:49:51Not her!
00:49:52A liar.
00:49:54The Duke is the Emperor's
00:49:55right hand.
00:49:56I couldn't not invite him
00:49:57and he'd bring her.
00:49:59So you sold me out
00:50:00to get your inheritance back?
00:50:02Yes.
00:50:03If that's how you see it.
00:50:05But do you really want
00:50:05the Emperor to think
00:50:06you're a threat?
00:50:08Distrust you?
00:50:09Even turn against you?
00:50:11Then you'd lose everything.
00:50:13Just like me.
00:50:15You're worried about me?
00:50:16I'm not.
00:50:17I just want to know
00:50:18how you'll help me
00:50:19get my inheritance back.
00:50:20The two months
00:50:21are almost out.
00:50:24Melris,
00:50:26why do you keep
00:50:27pushing me away?
00:50:44General Eric,
00:50:45where did you go?
00:50:46I've been looking
00:50:47everywhere for you.
00:50:51Go away from me!
00:50:56Eric!
00:50:58My daughter is carrying
00:51:00your child.
00:51:01Is this how you treat her?
00:51:05What did you say?
00:51:15Eric!
00:51:16My daughter is pregnant
00:51:18with your child.
00:51:19How much more humiliation
00:51:21must she endure?
00:51:23No!
00:51:30Impossible.
00:51:32No!
00:51:35You don't believe it?
00:51:37Dr. Sear!
00:51:43Lady Adele,
00:51:44if you please.
00:51:48Yes.
00:51:50Eric,
00:51:51let's be honest.
00:51:53We both know Adele
00:51:54isn't the woman
00:51:55from that night.
00:51:56But do you really
00:51:57want the truth
00:51:58to come out?
00:51:59Even if you could prove
00:52:00she's lying,
00:52:02would you dare?
00:52:04The Emperor himself
00:52:05wouldn't dare speak to me like that.
00:52:06Then go ahead.
00:52:07Let everyone know
00:52:07that Maris,
00:52:08a married woman,
00:52:09committed adultery.
00:52:10She won't get her inheritance back.
00:52:11She'll be lucky
00:52:12to stay alive.
00:52:13Marry Adele.
00:52:13Our houses unite.
00:52:15The Emperor would welcome it.
00:52:17It's best for everyone,
00:52:17even for Meris.
00:52:19Fine.
00:52:22Everyone!
00:52:23Lady Adele's urine
00:52:24is pale yellow,
00:52:25slightly cloudy,
00:52:26after standing
00:52:26of white precipitation forms.
00:52:28This indicates pregnancy,
00:52:29early stage,
00:52:30but 70% certain.
00:52:44I see.
00:52:48I agree.
00:52:50Two weeks from now,
00:52:52I will marry Lady Adele.
00:53:16I kept telling myself
00:53:17he's just a partner,
00:53:19a killer,
00:53:19a madman I should stay away from.
00:53:25I hate being light.
00:53:27But the memories
00:53:27keep coming back.
00:53:29I can't stop them.
00:53:33I can't believe
00:53:34General Eric proposed
00:53:35to Lady Adele tonight.
00:53:38And the wedding
00:53:39is in two weeks.
00:53:43I heard she's already pregnant.
00:53:45That's why it's so rushed.
00:53:47The Emperor himself
00:53:47will attack.
00:53:48I must prepare
00:53:49a proper gift.
00:53:51This is all my fault.
00:53:54If I hadn't dragged him
00:53:56into that dance,
00:53:56he wouldn't have been
00:53:57searching for that woman.
00:53:59Adele wouldn't have
00:53:59had a chance.
00:54:01Now the Duke
00:54:01is threatening him.
00:54:02Adele is pretending
00:54:03to be pregnant.
00:54:04He's trapped!
00:54:06You're the one
00:54:07I chose, Meris.
00:54:08No.
00:54:10I let you down.
00:54:13My lady,
00:54:13you haven't eaten
00:54:14in two weeks.
00:54:15You'll make yourself ill.
00:54:19I've made up my mind.
00:54:21I'm going to see Eric.
00:54:22But soon,
00:54:25you may have to leave
00:54:26this castle.
00:54:28Whatever you decide,
00:54:29my lady,
00:54:29I shouldn't know the rest.
00:54:36thank you,
00:54:37thank you,
00:54:37thank you,
00:54:37thank you,
00:54:38thank you.
00:54:43This all started
00:54:44because of me.
00:54:45Even if they call me
00:54:46a whore,
00:54:48even if I lose
00:54:49any hope of getting
00:54:49my inheritance back,
00:54:51I have to tell him
00:54:52the truth.
00:54:58Eric,
00:54:59whatever it costs me,
00:55:01this time,
00:55:02I'll face it with you.
00:55:04I won't let you
00:55:05carry this alone.
00:55:09This isn't right.
00:55:11Stop the carriage!
00:55:12Why are we going this way?
00:55:15Took you long enough
00:55:16to notice,
00:55:17my lady.
00:55:18You work for Adele.
00:55:23The lady knew
00:55:24you'd go to the general.
00:55:33The box fell out.
00:55:35Should we get it?
00:55:35Who cares?
00:55:36The lady only wants her.
00:55:40Women wants that general.
00:55:42What's he got
00:55:43that I don't?
00:55:44The lady won't even
00:55:45look at me.
00:55:47You?
00:55:48If anyone,
00:55:49it should be me.
00:55:50Maybe that kid
00:55:51in her belly is mine.
00:55:53She called me
00:55:54to her room
00:55:55plenty of times.
00:55:56She called me too.
00:55:58Who knows
00:55:58who the father
00:55:59really is?
00:56:00She's sleeping
00:56:01with her own guards?
00:56:03And she wants
00:56:04to marry Eric.
00:56:05She's insane.
00:56:13Cousin,
00:56:14you slapped me before.
00:56:16Now we're even.
00:56:24A deal,
00:56:25the truth
00:56:25always comes out.
00:56:27Keep telling yourself
00:56:28that.
00:56:29Once the emperor
00:56:30proves,
00:56:31nothing else matters.
00:56:32Oh,
00:56:33I have good news
00:56:33for you.
00:56:34You should thank
00:56:35Eric and my father.
00:56:36The emperor
00:56:37just signed over
00:56:38all the Valentine
00:56:39property to you.
00:56:42now,
00:56:43what will you do
00:56:44to the woman
00:56:44who made you
00:56:45lose everything?
00:56:48Enjoy yourself.
00:56:49I don't want
00:56:50anyone knowing
00:56:50she's here
00:56:51until after the wedding.
00:56:54Melrith.
00:57:00My dear,
00:57:02we meet again.
00:57:04A. Dale
00:57:04told me everything.
00:57:06You and Eric.
00:57:08No wonder
00:57:08he's always
00:57:09protecting you.
00:57:10If you're carrying
00:57:10his bastard,
00:57:11I hope it's born
00:57:12as mad as he is.
00:57:15Mad or not,
00:57:16at least it won't
00:57:16be a fool like you.
00:57:18Used and thrown away
00:57:18without even knowing it.
00:57:20What do you mean?
00:57:22Kill me
00:57:23and you'll hang.
00:57:24I won't kill you.
00:57:25I'll make you
00:57:26wish you were dead.
00:57:27Then Adele
00:57:28will defeat me
00:57:28and blames you.
00:57:29You're the perfect
00:57:30scapegoat.
00:57:32What do you think
00:57:33the emperor
00:57:33will do then?
00:57:36I've got nothing left.
00:57:38I'm a dead man walking.
00:57:39Taking you with me?
00:57:41Worth it!
00:57:45Damn it.
00:57:47Ever since she left,
00:57:48even killing prisoners
00:57:50only helps for a moment now.
00:57:53General,
00:57:54just need the final route
00:57:55map for Silverbirth.
00:57:56Lady Malesh
00:57:56was supposed to bring it
00:57:57this morning.
00:57:58She didn't come?
00:57:59No.
00:57:59And she didn't send word either.
00:58:04General!
00:58:05Please save my lady!
00:58:07What happened to her?
00:58:08She left yesterday
00:58:09with a box.
00:58:11Said she was coming to you
00:58:12to tell you everything.
00:58:15She...
00:58:16General.
00:58:18Found this on the road
00:58:18to your estate.
00:58:20Inside,
00:58:20an earring.
00:58:21Looks like the one
00:58:22Lady Adele wears.
00:58:24That's it.
00:58:25That's the box
00:58:26my lady was carrying.
00:58:29The road to my estate
00:58:31also leads to
00:58:32Adele's villa.
00:58:34Move.
00:58:35Now.
00:58:41Who goes there?
00:58:42This is Duke's property!
00:58:49Stay outside.
00:58:56Eric!
00:58:58Look,
00:58:59isn't it beautiful?
00:59:02Where is Melris?
00:59:04I don't know
00:59:05what you're talking about.
00:59:06Eric,
00:59:06I'm your fiancé.
00:59:07I'm carrying your child.
00:59:09Why do you always
00:59:10think of her?
00:59:11I won't ask again.
00:59:12Eric,
00:59:13this is a Duke's castle.
00:59:14You want to search it?
00:59:15Then follow the rules.
00:59:17Hand over your sword.
00:59:24That's better.
00:59:25Come,
00:59:26my dear fiancé.
00:59:27Let me show you
00:59:28around our new home.
00:59:38You bitch!
00:59:40Look,
00:59:41this is the nursery
00:59:41for our child.
00:59:43Do you like blue or pink?
00:59:44He'll be just as handsome
00:59:45as you,
00:59:46I'm sure.
00:59:52Just
00:59:52rats in the wine cellar.
00:59:58Open that carpet.
00:59:59now.
01:00:07Bitch.
01:00:09Let me give you
01:00:10some air
01:00:11before you die.
01:00:20Make a sound
01:00:21and I'll kill you now.
01:00:30See?
01:00:31Nothing.
01:00:33Just rats.
01:00:41Light it up!
01:00:44There's someone down there.
01:00:45Where are they?
01:00:49Die!
01:00:53Eric,
01:00:54even if you are my fiancé,
01:00:56treating me like this,
01:00:57the Emperor himself
01:00:58wouldn't side with you.
01:01:04help me.
01:01:06Help me.
01:01:15It's wood.
01:01:18Eric,
01:01:19Melis is a married woman
01:01:20going crazy over her.
01:01:25The whole Empire
01:01:26will laugh at you
01:01:28for taking
01:01:28Saka's leftovers.
01:01:31No!
01:01:32No!
01:01:34No!
01:01:34No!
01:01:40No!
01:01:41No!
01:01:43No!
01:01:44No!
01:01:48No!
01:02:02Cousin,
01:02:02you really can't stay away
01:02:04from this whore,
01:02:05can you?
01:02:08You pathetic fool.
01:02:10Pointing a knife at me.
01:02:13Still looking down on me.
01:02:16After I defeat you,
01:02:18I'll have my fun with her.
01:02:20Then she's dead too.
01:02:21Enough talk.
01:02:26Catch, Eric!
01:02:32Shut up, bitch!
01:02:38Cousin,
01:02:39you're a fool.
01:02:41Throwing your life away
01:02:42for a woman.
01:02:56No, don't kill me,
01:02:58cousin.
01:02:59We're family.
01:03:00Think of your aunt.
01:03:02Get out.
01:03:03You're not worth the effort.
01:03:07Look out!
01:03:18It's over.
01:03:20But your aunt...
01:03:22It's fine.
01:03:23It doesn't hurt.
01:03:34Thank God
01:03:35you're alive.
01:03:37You idiot.
01:03:38Why do you always show up
01:03:39when I need you?
01:03:41You kept pushing me away.
01:03:43But after I took you
01:03:44from Ska that night,
01:03:46I knew it was you.
01:03:50I won the war in the north,
01:03:56but my regiment,
01:03:58Crimson Raven,
01:03:59was wiped out.
01:04:01Since that day,
01:04:03I've never really left
01:04:04that battlefield.
01:04:08everyone and everything,
01:04:11they rot in my eyes.
01:04:15Enough.
01:04:18You that night?
01:04:27Of course,
01:04:28killing those prisoners
01:04:28helps too.
01:04:29Revenge for my men.
01:04:31The vision stopped
01:04:31for a while.
01:04:33The rumors.
01:04:34They said you'd kill
01:04:35for fun.
01:04:36It's because of this.
01:04:37They had my brother's blood
01:04:39on their hands.
01:04:40They deserve to die.
01:04:41I hid from you
01:04:42because I thought
01:04:43you were a monster.
01:04:46Maybe I am,
01:04:47but if I hadn't met you
01:04:48that night,
01:04:49my world would be
01:04:50nothing but hell.
01:04:58You've suffered enough.
01:05:05My dear son-in-law,
01:05:07the wedding is about
01:05:08to start,
01:05:08and here you are
01:05:09hiding in a cellar
01:05:10with another man's wife.
01:05:12How unbecoming.
01:05:17Duke,
01:05:18is this your wedding
01:05:19party or a coup?
01:05:22What do you think,
01:05:23General?
01:05:25The Emperor himself
01:05:26is officiating.
01:05:27Only you could
01:05:28draw him here.
01:05:30Your target
01:05:31is the Emperor?
01:05:32Two choices.
01:05:33Put on the suit,
01:05:35marry my daughter.
01:05:37I promise Lady Melris
01:05:38will live.
01:05:41Or you both
01:05:42die here.
01:05:43Fine.
01:05:43But you swear
01:05:44she won't be harmed.
01:05:45Of course.
01:05:47Take the groom
01:05:48to change.
01:05:56Get rid of the woman
01:05:57cleanly.
01:06:07Sorry, my lady.
01:06:08Nothing personal.
01:06:09You're just in the way.
01:06:26Forgive me, my lady.
01:06:27The general had me
01:06:28wait outside the castle.
01:06:29He guessed something
01:06:29like this might happen.
01:06:36I won't kill you.
01:06:39But at the wedding,
01:06:40in front of the Emperor,
01:06:41you'll say what you said
01:06:42in the carriage.
01:06:44Every word.
01:06:45Lady Adele
01:06:46will have our heads.
01:06:48She was going
01:06:48to kill you anyway.
01:06:50After I'm dead,
01:06:50would she leave
01:06:51two witnesses alive?
01:06:53Fine.
01:06:55Fine.
01:06:57Time is short, Edward.
01:06:58Split up,
01:06:59you take them
01:06:59to the Imperial Guard.
01:07:00Wait outside the chapel.
01:07:01I'll go ahead.
01:07:01My lady,
01:07:02that's too dangerous.
01:07:02If the general finds out...
01:07:18These ceremonial guards
01:07:19are wearing battle armor.
01:07:21The Duke's men.
01:07:23Erik,
01:07:24are you unwell?
01:07:29Your majesty,
01:07:31the general is merely tired.
01:07:32Wedding nerves,
01:07:33perhaps.
01:07:35Remember,
01:07:36Melis is still in my hands.
01:07:39Ruin this wedding,
01:07:40she won't see tomorrow.
01:07:42General Erik Bosenheit,
01:07:45do you take Lady Adele
01:07:46to be your wedded wife?
01:07:48To have and to hold?
01:07:49He does not!
01:08:05Who is that?
01:08:06How dare they interrupt
01:08:07the wedding in front
01:08:08of his majesty?
01:08:16Sorry, Lady Adele.
01:08:18He's already taken.
01:08:22Who are you?
01:08:24How dare you?
01:08:26Guards!
01:08:27Remove this woman!
01:08:30Impressive.
01:08:32You've saved me enough times.
01:08:34Let me save you for once.
01:08:40Adele,
01:08:41Erik doesn't belong to you.
01:08:43Oh, it's you!
01:08:44The whore!
01:08:45Come to steal another woman's wedding?
01:08:46Erik, come here!
01:08:47I am the one you're looking for!
01:08:48I'm carrying your child!
01:08:49Lie often enough
01:08:50and you start to believe it yourself.
01:08:53Lady Adele was never
01:08:54at that masquerade.
01:08:55Who is that?
01:08:55She lied.
01:08:56She forced me to cover from her
01:08:58because my aunt had something on me.
01:08:59That's how she killed everyone,
01:09:01even the general.
01:09:02Lies!
01:09:02You have an earring,
01:09:03so do I!
01:09:04That proves nothing!
01:09:05And I'm pregnant
01:09:06with the general's child
01:09:07that no one can deny!
01:09:11Really?
01:09:15Gentlemen,
01:09:17in front of His Majesty
01:09:19and the court,
01:09:20tell us
01:09:20who really fathered
01:09:22Lady Adele's child.
01:09:25It was me!
01:09:26No, him!
01:09:27Your Majesty,
01:09:28spare us!
01:09:28She called both of us
01:09:29to her chambers!
01:09:30We don't know
01:09:31whose it is!
01:09:35Duke Isles!
01:09:36This is the daughter
01:09:37you raised!
01:09:38How much else
01:09:38have you been hiding from me?
01:09:39My daughter
01:09:40just wanted to marry.
01:09:41What harm was there?
01:09:42But since you're all
01:09:43so eager to humiliate us,
01:09:44your Majesty,
01:09:45let's continue the celebration!
01:09:47Since my daughter's
01:09:48wedding is off,
01:09:48how about a coronation instead?
01:09:53Your Majesty,
01:09:56you trusted that mad dog
01:09:57from the North
01:09:58too much.
01:09:59The capital's finances,
01:10:01the noble marriages,
01:10:01the palace defences.
01:10:03Who controls all of it?
01:10:05My house.
01:10:06Yes!
01:10:07This is treason!
01:10:08History is written
01:10:09by the victor.
01:10:10I wanted to use
01:10:11the marriage
01:10:11to control the general.
01:10:13Take my time.
01:10:14The plans change.
01:10:16You think you can protect anyone?
01:10:33Lady Malice already won
01:10:35from the Imperial Guard.
01:10:36Your own men are on their way!
01:10:58Your fight is with me.
01:11:07Arrest them!
01:11:08Every last one of the traitors!
01:11:14I should be the one
01:11:15standing beside him.
01:11:17It's all because of you,
01:11:19Malice.
01:11:21Die, bitch!
01:11:39The pride should have been
01:11:44me.
01:11:50Eric!
01:11:51Eric!
01:11:54Eric!
01:11:56Eric!
01:11:57Eric!
01:11:57Eric!
01:11:59Eric!
01:12:03The general has a strong constitution.
01:12:05He'll live.
01:12:07He'll live.
01:12:08But he needs months of rest.
01:12:09The wounds are deep.
01:12:13Why did you have to be so stupid?
01:12:15Throwing yourself in front of a knife for me?
01:12:23You even cry beautifully.
01:12:25You're awake!
01:12:26Stop joking at a time like this!
01:12:28I'm here.
01:12:32I'm not afraid to die.
01:12:33The only thing I'm afraid of
01:12:35is you ignoring me.
01:12:36If you ever throw yourself in front of a knife
01:12:39again,
01:12:40and I really will ignore you.
01:12:41Malice,
01:12:42will you marry me?
01:12:52Yes.
01:12:53I'll marry you.
01:12:55You said it.
01:12:56No taking it back.
01:12:58But after I interrupted the wedding,
01:13:00everyone knows I slept with you
01:13:02while I was still married.
01:13:03The Emperor doesn't approve of me.
01:13:05I'm afraid-
01:13:05As long as you're willing,
01:13:07nothing else matters.
01:13:21Oh.
01:13:22I almost forgot to tell you something.
01:13:32A secret.
01:13:33What secret?
01:13:39I'm pregnant, too.
01:13:43What did you just say?
01:13:45I said I'm pregnant.
01:13:47Yours.
01:13:48How long?
01:13:50Since that first night.
01:13:52That's my boy.
01:13:53Why didn't you tell me sooner?
01:13:55I was afraid you'd think I used you.
01:13:58That I just wanted your seed.
01:14:00Idiot.
01:14:02My child.
01:14:03I'll raise him myself.
01:14:06Then you'd better get well soon.
01:14:09For him,
01:14:10I'll be out of bed tomorrow.
01:14:13Don't be silly.
01:14:15The witch doctor said months of rest.
01:14:18Then you stay with me.
01:14:22All right.
