Short filmTranscript
00:00:21Poor child! The fire isn't out yet! Stop!
00:00:25Madam, if I'm too slow, the other starving people will snatch them. My mother and I need this to survive
00:00:32the bitter winter.
00:00:38Madam, I wove these napkins. I embroidered the holly patterns myself. The priest said holly represents endless hope and life.
00:00:45Do you know where I can sell these?
00:00:52I'll take them all. May the merciful God bless you.
00:01:03Those napkins are barely worth a few coppers. Why did you give her three silver goins?
00:01:08Her father drowned, and her mother caught a deadly consumption. An orphan girl, weaving with burned hands just to buy
00:01:15her mother medicine. We should help however we can.
00:01:38Ten silver coins, at most.
00:01:42So, I'm dying. Ten silver coins only buys me a month of medicine. Please, look at the work, it's flawless.
00:01:53Fine. I misjudged it. Thirty silver coins.
00:01:58That's enough. Enough time to settle my shereel.
00:02:05Today is Christmas. My mother sold grandmother's heirloom for me. Yet this is all I can afford to give her.
00:02:14You ditched royalty to run off with a peasant. And look at you now, pathetic.
00:02:27Father, I don't have much time left. Please have mercy and take shereel in.
00:02:33That brat is a stain. Leave her, come home, and I'll get you the best care. You're still royalty.
00:02:41If high birth compels me to cast aside my child, I choose to live as a commoner.
00:02:47Father, shereel is my life. I will never abandon her.
00:02:53You're my only child, the last of our royal blood. Your illness has already brought you to death. Are you
00:03:00willing to risk your life over some base-born bastard?
00:03:05Without shereel, the palace is nothing more than an ornate tomb. I would rather die than abandon my daughter.
00:03:12Then die in this icebox. I, Robert, never had you as a daughter.
00:03:20It's all my fault. I'm the one who made Mother suffer.
00:03:32Mum, it's Christmas today. I didn't save enough for a turkey, but I made pea soup.
00:03:38Good girl. Mum is so proud of you.
00:03:41Mum, this is my Christmas gift to you. Hope you will like it.
00:03:46It's beautiful. I love it.
00:03:48I'm sorry my weak body made you suffer in this cruel world.
00:03:52No, it's my fault I couldn't make you better.
00:03:57I heard licorice helps with coughing, so I added some to the soup. Hurry and try it.
00:04:03This pea soup is the best thing I've ever tasted. No delicacy can compare.
00:04:14This is my only precious belonging left. We'll each keep half.
00:04:21Mum will never abandon you.
00:04:25We will never be apart.
00:04:28Mother, my departure is the only way for you to live.
00:04:32You have to carry on, please.
00:04:51Your Majesty!
00:04:54Please save my mom!
00:04:59As long as you save my mother, I am willing to leave her forever.
00:05:04And never take the royal bloodline.
00:05:17This is Datria, one sip, and your past is gone forever.
00:05:22I'm sending you to a remote border town.
00:05:28Never set foot in the capital again.
00:05:32Hmm.
00:05:53Mum, you have to live on.
00:06:03Liana.
00:06:07Father.
00:06:08What are you doing here?
00:06:19My child!
00:06:21Shereel!
00:06:22Where are you?
00:06:31Mom, please forgive me for leaving like this.
00:06:34I wanted to stay with you forever.
00:06:37But I couldn't just watch you die.
00:06:40Grandfather promised me to save you.
00:06:42But only if I left.
00:06:44This dress is my final gift.
00:06:47Like the holly on it.
00:06:48I wish you endless life and hope.
00:06:51I will always love you.
00:06:52I will always love you.
00:06:56You're dead.
00:06:58I will always love you.
00:07:00Who is the death of my child?
00:07:01My child!
00:07:05Shereel!
00:07:10Shereel!
00:07:12Shereel, where are you!
00:07:18Shereel!
00:07:19My child!
00:07:21Where are you?
00:07:25Take Princess Leina back to the palace and let the physicians treat her.
00:07:56I've rebuilt this nation and silenced the drums of war. Our land is thriving and secure. Yet, one void remains
00:08:03in my heart. I must find my lost daughter!
00:08:10I swear on the crown, whoever brings me one clue to my daughter's location. A duxtish with cities and lands
00:08:18is yours!
00:08:19A duxtish just for a clue! Whoever brings her home safely, you shall be named Hand of the King with
00:08:26absolute power, second only to me.
00:08:53Eric, I've perfected this holly design and the silk quality. Take it to the royal officer. If the Queen likes
00:08:59it, your family will become a royal supplier and you'll finally... get your barony.
00:09:05It's exquisite. Shiril, you're amazing. The Queen will definitely love it.
00:09:10I'm just an amnesiac orphan. If you hadn't taken me home, I probably would have died long ago. I'm just
00:09:16happy to help you.
00:09:17Don't worry. Once the Queen grants me the title of Baron, I'll marry you immediately and give you a truly
00:09:22warm home. By the way, according to our tradition, getting married requires a dowry of 100 silver coins. How much
00:09:29have you saved up so far?
00:09:31Already over 80 coins. Give me more time. I'll weave all night and sell piece sumps all day. I'll have
00:09:37the 100 soon.
00:09:39Shiril, you think I care about cold hard cash? I'm doing this for us. My parents are old fashioned. They
00:09:47only care about status.
00:09:48Give me the 80 coins. I'll use them to shut them up and prove your worth to-
00:09:52But-
00:09:53Shh. Once they agree, at the sacred moment I am named Baron.
00:10:00I will announce to the world that you are my future bride.
00:10:08Erik, I'll go get the coin purse for you right now and then set up my stall.
00:10:14Idiot. Once I am a Baron, we'll be from two different worlds. A factory girl trying to crawl into nobility?
00:10:20Keep dreaming.
00:10:31No bebang fur.
00:10:41I am a Baron.
00:10:41Any news from the States? Still no trace of Shiril?
00:10:45Forgive me your majesty. Not yet. The purchasing has just arrived with premium silk tributes for your review.
00:10:59This firebreak.
00:11:19There's no mistake.
00:11:21This holly pattern.
00:11:22This unique stitching.
00:11:23Only my daughter could embroider this.
00:11:26Sarah!
00:11:27Where was this fabric sent from?
00:11:29Your Majesty.
00:11:30It's from Black Rock City.
00:11:32It was sent by a local merchant, Eric Gray.
00:11:39It's her.
00:11:41It must be her!
00:11:42Sarah, prepare a carriage immediately.
00:11:47Royal Guard!
00:11:48We're going to Black Rock City right now!
00:11:51At once, Your Majesty!
00:11:57Your Majesty, we will reach Black Rock City before the midday bell.
00:12:02The Greys own the workshop.
00:12:04They've long craved royal status.
00:12:07As for the holly silk, it was woven by Eric Gray's fiancée.
00:12:13What is her name?
00:12:17Her name is...
00:12:21Shereel.
00:12:23It is her!
00:12:24It is her!
00:12:25Your Majesty, the kingdom is vast and many girls share that name.
00:12:29To be certain, I'll send someone for her hair or nails for a bloodline deputation.
00:12:35You are right.
00:12:37Bloodline or not, such exquisite craftsmanship deserves recognition.
00:12:41Send my orders, appoint Eric Gray as a royal merchant, and let the local church proceed with his knighting as
00:12:47a baron.
00:12:49Yes, Your Majesty.
00:12:51Shereel, could it be you?
00:12:53I really miss the pea soup you made for me.
00:12:58Your Majesty, are you hungry?
00:13:03Look at the side of the road.
00:13:24Madam, would you like some hot pea soup?
00:13:27I cooked it myself.
00:13:28The taste won't disappoint you.
00:13:30It's so cold outside.
00:13:32Why don't you go back and rest to keep warm?
00:13:36I'm about to marry my Mr. Right.

00:27:29Who is she?
00:27:30How does she dare attack the Baron?
00:27:32Does she have a death wish?
00:27:34Who is she?
00:27:36You almost killed me!
00:27:38Who are you?
00:27:41What? What do you want?
00:27:43What are you afraid of?
00:27:44We are nobles.
00:27:45Does she really dare kill us?
00:27:49Are you okay?
00:27:50Ma'am, it's you.
00:27:53Why are you here?
00:27:55I arrived too late and let you suffer.
00:28:00So you wanted to stand up for this commoner?
00:28:06Stay beside me and watch.
00:28:08I won't let any of them off.
00:28:10I came today to stand up for her.
00:28:12The rest of you deserve to die.
00:28:19Golden armor.
00:28:20Could they be the royal guard?
00:28:21Who exactly is this woman?
00:28:22Could she be the queen?
00:28:24Don't panic.
00:28:25The royal guard are the queen's personal soldiers.
00:28:27My father is Count Grove.
00:28:28If the queen came here, how could he not know?
00:28:30This woman is a fraud.
00:28:32Those aren't real royal guards.
00:28:33She hired actors to scare us with a cheap trick.
00:28:36Exactly.
00:28:37The queen must be in the capital.
00:28:38Why would she be here?
00:28:39You criminal!
00:28:41Importionating the queen!
00:28:42Go.
00:28:42Fetch my father, Count Grove.
00:28:44Tell him I've caught a fake queen.
00:28:45If my father deals with someone offending the queen,
00:28:48Her Majesty will surely reward him.
00:28:51Fine.
00:28:51I'd like to see how Count Grove handles me when he sees me.
00:29:09My lord, urgent news from the cathedral.
00:29:12A lunatic is leading privateers, faking the queen's identity to attack Lady Bella and the Baron.
00:29:21Preposterous!
00:29:22In the heart of Black Rock City, someone dares to mock the queen and bully my daughter?
00:29:29Guards!
00:29:30Move out!
00:29:31I'll hang this impostory myself.
00:29:35You're insane!
00:29:37Faking the queen's name is a death sentence!
00:29:41You think these golden costumes can save you?
00:29:44The queen remains in the capital.
00:29:46She wouldn't waste a second on a nobody like you!
00:29:50Despokable?
00:29:51That's you, Eric.
00:29:52You stole Shireel's work to buy this title.
00:29:55You climbed to the top on her blood and sweat and now you dare try to crush her?
00:29:59You've spit on every sacred promise.
00:30:02You're a pathetic excuse for a man.
00:30:04That's right.
00:30:05Shireel was so devoted to Eric.
00:30:07How could he break his vow?
00:30:08Shireel wove day and night for Eric and sold soup whenever she had time.
00:30:12We all saw her sacrifices.
00:30:17Shut up!
00:30:18The workshop is my property.
00:30:20She's just a lowly worker.
00:30:22Everything I have is what I deserve.
00:30:29Madam, thank you for standing up for me, but please, you must leave now.
00:30:34Count Grove is a monster and his men are merciless.
00:30:38Don't die for me.
00:30:39It's not worth your life.
00:30:41Don't be scared, dear.
00:30:43I won't let anyone touch you.
00:30:45Since the gods won't act, I'll punish these disgusting villains myself.
00:30:49They will pay for what they did to me.
00:30:51No one has ever protected me unconditionally.
00:30:55She's just like...
00:30:57She's just like a mother.
00:30:59Eric!
00:31:00This old fraud is insane!
00:31:02She's helping Shireel spread lies about our family!
00:31:05Kill them!
00:31:06Don't let either of these bitches escape!
00:31:13You're dead meat.
00:31:15The Count's guards will beat you both to death.
00:31:18I'll make sure your heads hang from the city walls until the crows pick them clean.
00:31:22Just wait and see!
00:31:31What big talk?
00:31:33You break vows, kill the weak, and treat lives like dirt.
00:31:37You've crossed the line of no return.
00:31:40Aren't you afraid of the Queen's fury?
00:31:42One word from the throne and you'll lose your title, your wealth, and your head.
00:31:49Ridiculous!
00:31:50You think you can travel a thousand miles just to beg the Queen for a judgment?
00:31:55You really believe she'd listen to a couple of noblies?
00:31:58That's the most pathetic thing I've ever heard.
00:32:00Submit a petition?
00:32:02This is the funniest joke I've ever heard!
00:32:05You?
00:32:05See, the Queen wouldn't get within a mile of the palace alive.
00:32:11Eric!
00:32:11The gods are watching from above!
00:32:13The kingdom's laws won't be blinded forever by despicable people like you!
00:32:18Laws?
00:32:18Here, my father is the only law that matters.
00:32:21You think a scrap of paper and some lies will save you?
00:32:24You're living in a dream world.
00:32:26You think you can leave today?
00:32:28Keep dreaming!
00:32:29You won't even take one step out of this cathedral's doors!
00:32:32Block the doors tight!
00:32:34Don't let a single fly out!
00:32:35I will watch these two peasants bleed their last drop right here!
00:32:51Enough, Lord Baron!
00:32:53You can't just flip the truth and use violence to get your way!
00:32:57Miss Shearal is a kind and innocent person.
00:33:01We are witnesses.
00:33:02Night after night she bled for that holly silk while you did nothing.
00:33:07You can't deny this truth!
00:33:09Stealing is a sin!
00:33:10You used her blood and sweat to climb the social clallor and now you want to kill her?
00:33:14You're no gentleman, you're a monster!
00:33:19Shut up, you filthy peasants!
00:33:21You reek of manure and livestock!
00:33:23How dare you jump out and lecture nobility!
00:33:33Are you crazy?
00:33:35They only spoke the truth and you dare strike them!
00:33:37Truth?
00:33:38Here?
00:33:39Here I am the truth.
00:33:40Opposing me is a crime punishable by death.
00:33:43You rats from the sewers were born to be trash under our feet.
00:33:46Now and forever, trampled underfoot, you parasites.
00:33:53You take everything from this kingdom and give back only cruelty.
00:33:56You trample the weak like dirt and spit on the laws of justice.
00:34:00Filthy heartless cowards, you don't deserve to be nobles.
00:34:03You deserve nothing!
00:34:05You mad woman!
00:34:07Death is upon you, yet you still dare spout such nonsense!
00:34:11Today, by the will of the heavens, I shall make you pay in blood for your arrogance and cruelty!
00:34:24You dare hit me!
00:34:32You dare hit me!
00:34:34You peasant, you dare hit me!
00:34:42You're dead!
00:34:43My father will rot you in the pits!
00:34:46He'll have you flayed alive until there's nothing left but screams!
00:34:50Where is my father?
00:34:53Someone find Count Grove now!
00:35:03Daring to offend the Grove family on my territory!
00:35:07The gallows will be your final resting place today!
00:35:11Full speed ahead!
00:35:13Fire!
00:35:22You lawless madwoman.
00:35:24Before the gods and nobles, you dare publicly harm a Count's daughter.
00:35:29Don't show them mercy, Eric!
00:35:31Butcher this witch!
00:35:32Toss their carcasses to the wolves and let them rot!
00:35:35How dare these peasants insult my title!
00:35:38Eric!
00:35:39Draw your sword!
00:35:41Teach these dogs the meaning of fear!
00:35:45That's right, Eric.
00:35:46Avenge me for this.
00:35:47And in the future, my father's power and connections are yours to command.
00:35:52I'll end you right here!
00:35:54Enough!
00:35:54Your blood will serve as a lesson to these rats!
00:35:57Offending a noble is a death sentence!
00:35:59Now perish!
00:36:10You want to kill me?
00:36:13In your dreams?
00:36:16You dare point weapons at me!
00:36:24Enough is enough.
00:36:26We give our blood and sweat to this land, yet you treat us like dirt!
00:36:30Listen to me, everyone.
00:36:31We aren't animals.
00:36:32We won't be trampled anymore!
00:36:35That's right!
00:36:36Strip this hypocrite of his title!
00:36:38Give Sheryl's hard work back to her!
00:36:47What are you peasants trying to do?
00:36:48Are you trying to overthrow the Order?
00:36:50You're reckless rioters!
00:36:51Wait until the Count's guards arrive.
00:36:52They'll send all you cheap bones to the gallows!
00:36:55A crown is a burden of responsibility, not a shield for your crimes.
00:37:00It exists to safeguard the weak and honour the truth.
00:37:04Those who use it to trample others deserve nothing but the gallows!
00:37:08Stand right!
00:37:09And you, enjoy the Crown's protection, only to turn your blades on its people.
00:37:14Listen to these roars!
00:37:16The people have spoken and the gods have judged!
00:37:19Eric Gray, you are no baron, you are a criminal!
00:37:22Fella, your soul is too rotten to ever be called noble.
00:37:26Shut up!
00:37:28Shut up, you madwoman!
00:37:30Shut up!
00:37:37Who dares to impersonate the Queen here and offend the Magi of the Groves?
00:37:42Get out here and face death!
00:37:53Who dares to impersonate the Queen here and offend the Majesty of the Groves?
00:37:57Get out here and face death!
00:38:05Father!
00:38:06You finally came!
00:38:08If you had been a moment later, your daughter would have been eaten alive by these lowly rioters!
00:38:14Who dares?
00:38:15Who dares harm the Grove family in my city?
00:38:21My lord, this crazy woman ruined everything.
00:38:23She even brought thugs to impersonate the Royal Guard.
00:38:26Look at them.
00:38:28What a pathetic joke.
00:38:33That's right!
00:38:34My lord, she dared to fake the Royal Majesty!
00:38:37This is the worst deceration of the Kingdom's laws!
00:38:40We must kill her!
00:38:41Send her to the gallows!
00:38:43Burn this heretic!
00:38:44She dares to desperate the gods!
00:38:46Burn her alive!
00:38:50Burn her alive!
00:38:50Count Grove!
00:38:51How dare she!
00:38:52I'll let my cavalry trample her until she's unrecognizable!
00:38:55I'll flay her alive!
00:38:56Inch by inch and let the whole city hear her finalizing cries!
00:38:59No one mocks the Grove name and lives!
00:39:01Where is that bold, lowly peasant leading the riot?
00:39:04Roll out and die!
00:39:08Father, it's that bitch right there!
00:39:14Ma'am, I will take all the blame shortly.
00:39:17You absolutely must not get involved.
00:39:20We don't know each other, yet you have done enough for me.
00:39:22I cannot put you in danger because of me.
00:39:24Good girl.
00:39:26How can you say we don't know each other?
00:39:29We are the closest family.
00:39:32What do you mean?
00:39:34You two peasants, turn around!
00:39:40Count Grove, what an impressive display of authority.
00:39:56This woman's error.
00:39:59It's overwhelming.
00:40:01Who exactly is she?
00:40:03You dare bully my daughter in my place!
00:40:06And you dare impersonate the Queen!
00:40:10Father, she's a fake!
00:40:12She's playing Queen to save that bitch!
00:40:15Arrest her!
00:40:17Make her cruel for what she's done!
00:40:23Grove, you certainly have a good daughter.
00:40:27Disregarding the Empire's laws to wantonly beat and kill my kingdom's subjects.
00:40:33That voice sounds so familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before.
00:40:40My father knows the Queen personally!
00:40:42Your little game is over!
00:40:45Father, speak up!
00:40:46Tell these fools!
00:40:47Is this madwoman really the Queen?
00:40:50When I had an audience with the Queen, there were layers of guards and soldiers.
00:40:54I didn't even dare lift my head.
00:40:56I only heard her voice.
00:40:59That proves it!
00:41:00She's a fake!
00:41:01The Queen's life is too precious!
00:41:03She would never travel without notifying the castles!
00:41:06She wouldn't be here with just a few thugs!
00:41:08Father, why are you waiting?
00:41:10Kill her!
00:41:11Exactly!
00:41:12You lowly commoners remain unrepentant!
00:41:15Guards!
00:41:16Arrest them!
00:41:18Arrest me!
00:41:19Let this lady go!
00:41:25Shereel, stand safely behind me.
00:41:28I will never let you suffer any wrongs, nor will I let these evil people succeed.
00:41:40Protect her majesty!

00:50:34I'm sorry.
00:50:36Go mourn in prison. Guards, arrest them all!
00:50:44I will completely destroy.
00:50:54That sounds like movement from outside.
00:50:57Every single one of you.
00:51:00An army! It's the Royal Guard!
00:51:11Why would the Royal Guard be here?
00:51:13Why would the Royal Guard be here?
00:51:25All hail Her Majesty!
00:51:28May the Royal Power shine forever!
00:51:35All hail Her Majesty! May the Royal Power shine forever!
00:51:53Your Majesty! Please forgive my ignorance! I didn't know it was you!
00:51:58Mercy, Your Majesty! Please have mercy!
00:52:01Enough! You've treated my people like trash and disgraced your rank. Today, you lose everything. I revoke your titles and
00:52:10seize your lands. The Grove family is exiled to the Northern Icefields for eternity. Guards! Drag them out of my
00:52:17sight!
00:52:17Nooo! Nooo!
00:52:26You betrayed honor and profited from another's suffering. Your deaths would mean nothing. But, for the fact that you housed
00:52:33Shereel in her hour of need, I shall spare your lives. That one act of charity is your only salvation.
00:52:40Eric Grey, your title is revoked!
00:52:42Eric Grey, your title is revoked! You and your kin are commoners now. Confiscate all workshops. You are forbidden from
00:52:48touching the merchant trade forever. Disobey, and the noose will be waiting.
00:52:54This lady, who always shielded me behind her and took all the malice for me, is actually the Supreme Queen
00:53:00of the Kingdom? Why? Why do I feel she is so kind? So familiar?
00:53:08It was my negligence that allowed nobles to bully the innocent. From now on, I will personally ensure your dignity
00:53:15is never trampled again. Please, rise.
00:53:24May the gods bless your majesty!
00:53:30Your majesty, I meant no offense. I was just so surprised earlier that I forgot to kneel.
00:53:41Your majesty. No, my sweetheart.
00:53:49You never have to bow to me.
00:53:53Your majesty, I don't understand.
00:53:56I owe you too much.
00:53:57Your majesty...
00:53:59What are you talking about?
00:54:01I am just an amnesiac orphan.
00:54:03You have never owed me anything.
00:54:08Your majesty, what exactly does this pendant mean?
00:54:11I have a matching half too. Maybe...
00:54:13Maybe you can help me find my family.
00:54:16Do I have a family?
00:54:18Do I have a family?
00:54:19Come back with me.
00:54:20Once you see the palace, you will know everything.
00:54:34What do I do?
00:54:39Greetings, noble lady.
00:54:46Your majesty, this is too precious. I am just a commoner. How do I deserve this?
00:54:53These are but minor decorations. If you like, I would bring all the treasures of the kingdom to lay at
00:55:00your feet.
00:55:03Your majesty, you favor me so much. Does it really have to do with that emblem?
00:55:23What does this mean? Where is my family?
00:55:40This holly pattern, this unique embroidery style, it's exactly the same as what I designed. How is this possible?
00:55:51Good child, look closely at it. Does your heart remember anything?
00:56:01Mom, this is my Christmas gift to you. Hope you will like it.
00:56:05It's beautiful. This is my only precious belonging left. We'll each keep half.
00:56:14Mom will never abandon you. We will never be apart.
00:56:25Mom, you have to live on.
00:56:33You, you're okay. It's so good to see you healthy and alive.
00:56:40My little princess.
00:56:46Mom finally found you.
00:56:50Mom, Mom!
00:56:51Mom!
00:56:59Curse it all! I was a baron! I was meant for greatness!
00:57:02Now I'm a common rat, digging in the mud!
00:57:05Is this my life now?
00:57:07Is this all I am?
00:57:09It's her fault!
00:57:10Shirin ruined everything!
00:57:12Why did she get the Velvet Throne while we rot in the mud?
00:57:15She was a nobody, and now she's a princess?
00:57:17Stop complaining!
00:57:19The Queen not sending us to the gallow is already a huge mercy.
00:57:22We'll never turn our lives around now.
00:57:24No! I won't accept this!
00:57:26Shirin used to be utterly devoted to me, willing to give me her life.
00:57:30She's just temporarily blinded by the Queen's authority.
00:57:33Son, you're right. Shirin loved you deeply.
00:57:36But what if you can find a chance to win her heart back?
00:57:39How? How is that possible?
00:57:41She's the pearl of the crown, now surrounded by guards!
00:57:44We can't even get close to the palace walls!
00:57:46Use her, Erik!
00:57:47She's a princess now, but she's still that stupid girl who loved you.
00:57:52If you can win her back, she'll beg the Queen to pardon us.
00:57:55We can leave this stinking ditch and be back nobles again!
00:57:58Right. As long as I can see her deep down, she's still the same stupid girl I can manipulate.
00:58:11My lord, about the matter I asked of you last time, how is it going?
00:58:15Jobs in the palace aren't easy to find. I can't just help anyone unconditionally who asks me.
00:58:25Get lost. You smell like a rotting corpse.
00:58:28This scrap of gold won't get you through the servants' gate.
00:58:30You're too filthy to even sweep the stables.
00:58:33Go back to your ditch.
00:58:34My lord, have mercy. I'm a fast worker.
00:58:37Just give me a smock and let me join the crew.
00:58:39I'll work for scraps of black bread.
00:58:41I promise, I'll stay invisible.
00:58:43I won't cause any trouble, I swear on my life.
00:58:46My lord, this is all I have.
00:58:47When I get paid, I will give it all to honour you.
00:58:51Put it on.
00:58:52Go to carry firewood and flour.
00:58:54Listen up.
00:58:55If you disturb the royals, the guards will take your head.
00:58:59The guard will chop your head off and kick it like a ball.
00:59:02Thank you for your grace, my lord.
00:59:08Shia, my dear princess.
00:59:11Just wait.
00:59:12Everything you possess now will soon be back under my control.
00:59:22My darling, you need a shield.
00:59:24Not just a husband.
00:59:26A knight who will never fail you.
00:59:27And I found him.
00:59:28Your future husband.
00:59:30Duke Eris.
00:59:35Mother.
00:59:37I don't want to get married.
00:59:41Aris returns in triumph from the southern front.
00:59:44He is more than just a brilliant commander.
00:59:46He is a man of honour and a pure soul.
00:59:49He is not like the others, Shirik.
00:59:53A man's vow is like spring ice.
00:59:55It shatters the moment you lean on it.
00:59:58I thought I found love, but it was just a cold-blooded trap.
01:00:03Mother, I can't.
01:00:05I dare not trust again.
01:00:07My dear child, that snake's betrayal isn't on you.
01:00:11I will never let anyone force you to do anything against your will.
01:00:14It's just a dinner tonight.
01:00:16One meal.
01:00:16Go meet him.
01:00:17If he's not for you, I'll never bring it up again.
01:00:19I promise.
01:00:21Okay.
01:00:21I'll listen to you.
01:00:24Your Highness, Duke Eris is waiting for you in the banquet hall.
01:00:31I know.
01:00:31You may all leave.
01:00:36Go see another man?
01:00:38Dream on!
01:00:39Once I take her virginity tonight, she'll be mine forever.
01:00:42Even a highborn princess must bow to the sake of the royal reputation.
01:00:47As for that arrogant queen, I'll make her beg me to take her crown.
01:01:00Good evening, Shirelle.
01:01:07This place!
01:01:09Eric?
01:01:10No, impossible.
01:01:12There are heavily armed royal knights outside.
01:01:14How could a stripped common man pass through layers of blockages into the high tower?
01:01:18Who is he?
01:01:19Shh.
01:01:20Don't struggle, my noble princess.
01:01:23Your silk gown is so smooth.
01:01:26I wonder if the body underneath it is even smoother.
01:01:29What a delicate little prey you are.
01:01:32Soon I'll strip every last piece of clothing.
01:01:35And tonight, I'm going to enjoy your royal body.
01:01:45Tonight, I take everything.
01:01:48Your innocence, your pride, and your mother's throne.
01:01:52Once this scandal is done, she'll have no choice but to make me your husband and hand over the keys
01:01:58to the kingdom.
01:02:04I'll kill you.
01:02:05I'll kill you.
01:02:05Too loud!
01:02:14Get your filthy hands off, her highness!
01:02:18Stay back, or I'll snap her neck.
01:02:23Don't forget it!
01:02:29No!
01:02:31No!
01:02:34No!
01:02:36No!
01:02:38No!
01:02:40No!
01:02:41No!
01:02:43No!
01:02:46No!
01:02:47No!
01:02:48No!
01:02:49No!
01:02:49No!
01:02:53I apologize, Your Highness. You were frightened.
01:02:57I am Aris. When you didn't appear at the banquet, I grew concerned.
01:03:01I overstepped, but I heard sounds of a struggle from the hallway, so I broke the door down.
01:03:06Thank God you're safe.
01:03:09Thank you, Aris.
01:03:11An assassin! Protect Her Highness! Move!
01:03:24The assassin has fled. Her Highness is in no condition to receive visitors. Stand down.
01:03:33Your Highness.
01:03:36I wounded the assassin's right arm. He carries that scar. I'll give the guards this lead. We will catch him.
01:03:44I'm scared he'll come back.
01:03:47Starting tomorrow. The finest royal knights guard your door around the clock. No one without the password gets near this
01:03:54floor.
01:03:59Then will you be here too?
01:04:02As long as Your Highness needs me, I will be here.
01:04:09I-I mean, it's always better to have another skilled warrior nearby. I didn't mean anything else by it.
01:04:24Shereel!
01:04:25Thank God you're safe.
01:04:27Sarah told me a thug broke in. My heart nearly stopped.
01:04:31Mother.
01:04:32I'm fine.
01:04:35Duke Aris broke the door down just in time.
01:04:40That damned throg!
01:04:42Shereel!
01:04:42Did you see who it was?
01:04:46The room was too dark.
01:04:49He stayed in the shadows the whole time. I...
01:04:52Couldn't see his face.
01:04:54But I pierced his arm.
01:04:56Even without a face, the wound will identify him.
01:05:00Lockdown!
01:05:01Seal every exit!
01:05:03The assassin has a sword wound on his right arm.
01:05:06Turn this palace upside down.
01:05:08Drag him out!
01:05:09Dare to touch my daughter, and I will make sure he dies screaming!
01:05:16Duke Aris, you saved my daughter's life.
01:05:20I shudder to think what would have happened without you.
01:05:24Protecting Her Highness is my duty. No thanks required.
01:05:29No, Lord Duke, I want to thank you properly. If you hadn't come, I would have been trapped, Shadow, for
01:05:35the rest of my life.
01:05:38I will never let you live in darkness.
01:05:41It seems guards alone aren't enough.
01:05:44Shereel, even as a princess in this complex palace, you need to know how to protect yourself.
01:05:53Since Duke Aris is so skilled, perhaps he should personally teach you defensive swordman strength.
01:06:01I was so close.
01:06:03If that man hadn't burst in...
01:06:09Shereel, next time I get my hands on you, you will beg for mercy.
01:06:13And everything that's mine, I'll take it all back.
01:06:16Did you hear?
01:06:17An assassin broke in.
01:06:18The Queen has sealed all exits, not a fly escapes.
01:06:22Duke Aris himself said the assassin has a white arm wound.
01:06:24The Royal Guard is checking everyone now.
01:06:26Anyone found with an injured arm is killed on the spot.
01:06:28They'll be here any minute.
01:06:39Royal Guard investigation.
01:06:41All men on the roster, line up now.
01:06:43Expose your arms.
01:06:44Anyone who resists is treated as an accomplished.
01:06:46Executed on the spot.
01:06:53Why is there a man missing?
01:06:54Sir, it's Eric.
01:06:56He said his stomach hurt and went to the latrine behind the stables.
01:07:22I swear it was the most absurd scene I've ever witnessed in my life.
01:07:26The guy literally faceplanted into a barrel full of mutia.
01:07:31And the best part, when the captain went to check his other arm,
01:07:34the idiot was flailing around like a headless chicken,
01:07:37panicked by the captain, and fell right into his arms.
01:07:39Got kicked away like a sack of potatoes.
01:07:42Looking at the captain's face afterward,
01:07:44I think he wanted to burn his whole uniform.
01:07:47Let's move.
01:07:49More places to search.
01:07:56Ah!
01:08:04Hold it tight, your highness.
01:08:10The sword is an extension of your arm.
01:08:14Feel its center of gravity,
01:08:15instead of trying to drag it with brute force.
01:08:18He...
01:08:19Why is he standing so close?
01:08:21That heat.
01:08:23Why is my heart beating as loud as war drums?
01:08:26Stop beating, Shereel.
01:08:27He'll hear you.
01:08:34Focus on the battlefield.
01:08:36An enemy's blade doesn't stop because your mind wandered.
01:08:41I understand, Duke Eris.
01:08:45Please continue.
01:09:00Now, let your instincts guide it.
01:09:21Don't rush, your highness.
01:09:24Take everything step by step.
01:09:27I'm sorry.
01:09:28I'm so clumsy at this.
01:09:32You're doing incredibly well.
01:09:35Since swordmanship doesn't come naturally,
01:09:37let's shift to basic combat.
01:09:40How to protect yourself.
01:09:41Using your center of gravity.
01:09:44No weapon needed.
01:09:56Ow.
01:09:58Ow.
01:10:00Ow.
01:10:02Ow.
01:10:06Ow.
01:10:20My lord!
01:10:27Report to the Duke.
01:10:28Every person in the palace has been inspected.
01:10:31No assassin with a wounded right arm found.
01:10:35New command, search every corner.
01:10:38No unidentified person hides inside these walls.
01:10:40Yes, my lord.
01:10:42Duke Eris, is he really still here?
01:10:46I keep feeling eyes on me.
01:10:48Cold eyes.
01:10:50Watching from somewhere dark.
01:10:52Your highness, I will find him.
01:10:55And I will personally end him.
01:10:58I trust you, Eris.
01:11:00Then let's keep training.
01:11:02Total strength.
01:11:04Unshakeable confidence.
01:11:06That's how you survive.
01:11:15If I wasn't being hunted by those dogs,
01:11:19why would I end up rolling in that disgusting manure barrel?
01:11:23This stench.
01:11:25It won't come off.
01:11:27Shereel,
01:11:28in that damned night,
01:11:31I will make you both pay for my humiliation.
01:11:41Your highness,
01:11:43why did you summon me at this hour?
01:11:46Instead of letting this assassin lurk like a snake in the dark,
01:11:50wait to strike whenever he chooses,
01:11:52we should dig his grave ourselves and lure him in.
01:11:56Your highness,
01:11:58what are you proposing?
01:12:03I want to take the initiative.
01:12:05What exactly?
01:12:06Spread the word that the assassin was caught.
01:12:08Then two nights from now,
01:12:09I'll go to the prayer room alone to pray.
01:12:11No guards,
01:12:12only two personal maids,
01:12:13so he doesn't get suspicious.
01:12:15No ambush troops.
01:12:16Only you,
01:12:17hidden in the dark.
01:12:18Absolutely not.
01:12:19That is gambling with your life.
01:12:21Eris,
01:12:23living in endless fear is no life at all.
01:12:26Better to let him walk right into the trap we set for him.
01:12:33One thing goes wrong,
01:12:34you could be in real danger.
01:12:36I've learned a lot from you these past few days.
01:12:39Nothing will happen.
01:12:41Trust me.
01:12:46All right.
01:12:49I'm listening to you.
01:12:58Did you hear?
01:12:59They actually caught the assassin.
01:13:04I heard that too.
01:13:05To thank the gods,
01:13:06the princess is going to the prayer room tomorrow night.
01:13:08She's not even taking guards.
01:13:10Just one maid.
01:13:10She said she doesn't want to disturb the gods.
01:13:13Praying alone,
01:13:14my chance has come.
01:13:24That man we found,
01:13:25the sword wound on his arm,
01:13:27it's from a blade, right?
01:13:28Who cares what kind of wound it is?
01:13:29He passed out on a deserted road.
01:13:31If we hadn't found him,
01:13:32he'd be dead.
01:13:32When he were getting paid for this.
01:13:34Where is he?
01:13:35At the physician's.
01:13:37I will catch him and hand him to me myself.
01:13:39Why is the Duke in such a hurry?
01:13:41Probably concerned about one of his men.
01:13:43I heard that the injured man is part of the Royal Guard.
01:13:50Who are you?
01:13:51I've never seen you before.
01:13:52I was just transferred from the outer court by Her Majesty.
01:13:55She was worried the prayer room was too cold.
01:13:57She ordered me to bring this tribute incense,
01:13:59so Her Highness stays alert before the gods.
01:14:03Since Her Majesty requested it.
01:14:05Go in.
01:14:15Mary, didn't I say not to disturb me while I'm confessing?
01:14:18Your Highness,
01:14:19Her Majesty is concerned about your health.
01:14:21This incense will help you draw closer to the gods.
01:14:26Incense?
01:14:26Just leave it there.
01:14:33Long time no see, my princess.
01:14:36I've missed you.
01:14:37It is him.
01:14:47Looks like my knockout powder worked.
01:14:50The maid has already fallen asleep.
01:14:54What happened?
01:14:56Why didn't Eris come in?
01:15:05Where is the man with the sword wound on his arm?
01:15:13Is he from the guard?
01:15:15Yes, he got that sword wound over ten days ago.
01:15:19You told him to wrestle,
01:15:20but he collapsed on the road
01:15:21and was brought here.
01:15:23Oh no.
01:15:28Struggle, my princess.
01:15:30Here, in this holy prayer room,
01:15:32I will personally crush
01:15:33your arrogant pride.
01:15:42Did you think you can fight back against me?
01:15:53Let me see who you really are.
01:16:03It's you,
01:16:05Erick.
01:16:07Sheerian,
01:16:08you were supposed to wail beneath my body
01:16:11and become my gold ticket.
01:16:12Shut up!
01:16:13Give him thirty lashes,
01:16:15throw him in the dungeon,
01:16:16and report to Her Majesty
01:16:17that the assassin has been caught.
01:16:20Forgive me, Your Grace.
01:16:21I let a decoy distract me
01:16:23and left you defenseless against that maniac.
01:16:26If you had been hurt,
01:16:27my life wouldn't have been enough
01:16:28to pay for my failure.
01:16:29I've failed you.
01:16:31Ares,
01:16:31look at me.
01:16:33It was your technique.
01:16:35Your strength is in me.
01:16:37You gave me the power to fight.
01:16:39But I should protect you,
01:16:40not made you do it yourself.
01:16:42I cannot forgive myself.
01:16:45If that's the case,
01:16:46then I will give you a punishment.
01:16:52If that's the case,
01:16:53then I will give you a punishment.
01:16:56Guard my side every moment
01:16:58for the rest of your life.
01:16:59Never look away.
01:17:01Be my sole protector
01:17:02for a lifetime.
01:17:05Your Highness,
01:17:07do you mean it to me?
01:17:09This isn't a punishment,
01:17:11but a reward.
01:17:11Will you accept it,
01:17:12my Duke Heiress?
01:17:13I swear to protect you for eternity.
01:17:28By royal decree,
01:17:30Eric Gray,
01:17:30a mere commoner,
01:17:31has attempted to assassinate the princess.
01:17:34Sorry.
01:17:35Eric,
01:17:36what is he saying?
01:17:37By royal law
01:17:39and Her Majesty's will,
01:17:41Eric Gray
01:17:41is hereby stripped
01:17:42of all civil rights.
01:17:44In three days,
01:17:45he shall hang by the neck
01:17:47until dead.
01:17:50Now is not the time to cry.
01:17:52We have one last option.
01:17:56What else can we do?
01:17:58We can't even touch the palace walls now.
01:18:02Since we stay here waiting for death,
01:18:04we might as well risk it all.
01:18:06What do you mean?
01:18:07An unwed princess,
01:18:09caught in a commoner's room.
01:18:12The rumors alone would ruin you forever.
01:18:14Yes!
01:18:15We can use her reputation against her
01:18:17and force her to spare our son.
01:18:20The royal family values reputation above all else.
01:18:23Maybe the queen will even marry Sheryl to Eric.
01:18:25Then our good times will be back.
01:18:27Let's do it.
01:18:28We only have a few years left in this broken shed anyway.
01:18:30We either save our son and live a good life
01:18:32or we drag that little bitch to hell with us.
01:18:42God bless you, kind princess.
01:18:44I've never seen royalty this approachable,
01:18:46not a trace of noble arrogance in her eyes.
01:18:51Sheryl isn't arrogant
01:18:52because not long ago
01:18:54she was just a grubby weaver
01:18:56dealing in coarse linen all day!
01:18:58You folks probably don't know this,
01:19:00but this noble princess
01:19:01used to live with our family.
01:19:03No name of her own back then.
01:19:04And her only ambition
01:19:05was to cling to my son, Eric.
01:19:07Poor thing.
01:19:08To keep her claws in Eric,
01:19:09she would use bringing dinner
01:19:11as an excuse to sneak into a man's bedroom
01:19:13late at night.
01:19:15She'd stay for hours.
01:19:16And the noises behind that door.
01:19:19Holy mother, it was unbearable!
01:19:21Could it be
01:19:22Her Highness has already been with a man?
01:19:24If she really fooled about
01:19:26with a commoner man in his bedroom night,
01:19:28that is the greatest stain
01:19:29on the royal family's reputation.
01:19:43It's been so long.
01:19:45You must be doing well.
01:19:46Make the queen stop the execution.
01:19:47Now, and announce you'll marry him.
01:19:49Or I'll leak every filthy tale
01:19:51of your intimate nights.
01:19:52The crown won't hesitate
01:19:54to disown a disgraced heir.
01:19:55Shut your mouth, you liar.
01:19:57My relationship with Eric was clean.
01:19:59We never crossed a single line.
01:20:01Go ahead.
01:20:02Try to smear my name with your trash.
01:20:04See who survives.
01:20:05Back in the Black Rock City workshop,
01:20:07who was sneaking into my son's room
01:20:09on cold nights?
01:20:10Who spent those secret afternoons
01:20:12glued to my paw, Eric?
01:20:14Why won't you just admit it?
01:20:16Does that mean the princess did
01:20:17forbidden things with a man?
01:20:19What a disgrace to the royal name.
01:20:21That never happened.
01:20:23You are lying.
01:20:24Lares is here.
01:20:29Lord Duke, perfect timing.
01:20:31She and my son were lovers,
01:20:33doing shameful things
01:20:34in that humble bedroom.
01:20:36Do not marry her.
01:20:46No, no, that's not true.
01:20:49It absolutely is.
01:20:51Cheryl and Eric's affair
01:20:53is known to all of Black Rock City.
01:20:55She has been my son's woman for years.
01:20:58You cannot marry her.
01:20:59Lord Duke is valiant and noble.
01:21:02He shouldn't marry a woman like that.
01:21:06No, is he going to doubt me too?
01:21:12Enough!
01:21:13Put away your sickening, clumsy acting.
01:21:16Aris, do you trust me?
01:21:20Of course I trust you.
01:21:21You are my fiancé,
01:21:23my future wife,
01:21:24the mother of my future children,
01:21:25the person I want to spend my life with.
01:21:27I would even entrust my life to you.
01:21:29How could I not trust you?
01:21:33Her highness would never do such a thing.
01:21:35I stake my name on it.
01:21:39You despicable parasites.
01:21:41Dare to frame the jewel of the kingdom?
01:21:45You are not only insulting my fiancé,
01:21:47but trampling the glory of the entire kingdom!
01:21:53Shut up, you blood-sucking leeches!
01:21:56I am a merchant from Black Rock City.
01:21:59I've always seen Miss Cheryl doing laundry
01:22:01in the freezing winter
01:22:02while you sat by the fire.
01:22:04You're not nobles.
01:22:05You're thieves.
01:22:07She's innocent!
01:22:08The Greys started those rumours
01:22:11to force the princess to marry into their family.
01:22:14They used her to save their son.
01:22:16They're the real monsters here!
01:22:25You disrespect the royal family
01:22:27and slander the princess.
01:22:29Tomorrow at noon,
01:22:30you and Eric will repent on the gallows.
01:23:00The fireworks celebrating our wedding
01:23:02are so beautiful.
01:23:04We are finally couples.
01:23:06I can protect you by your side forever.
01:23:08Eris, thank you.
01:23:10When everyone wanted to drag me into the abyss,
01:23:12only you held my hand tight all along.
01:23:15And thank me with a kiss.
