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.
00:07:00My child!
00:07:04Shirin!
00:07:07My child!
00:07:10Shirin!
00:07:12Where are you?
00:07:18My child!
00:07:21Shirin!
00:07:22Shirin!
00:07:22Shirin!
00:07:22Where 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.
00:10:21I'm coming.
00:10:41Any news from the States? Still no trace of Shiril?
00:10:44Forgive me, Your Majesty, not yet. The purchasing has just arrived with premium silk tributes for your review.
00:10:59This fabric.
00:11:02This fabric.
00:11:19There's no mistake.
00:11:21This holly pattern. This unique stitching. Only my daughter could embroider this.
00:11:26Sarah! Where was this fabric sent from?
00:11:29Your Majesty. It's from Black Rock City. It was sent by a local merchant, Erik Grey.
00:11:39It's her.
00:11:41It must be her!
00:11:42Sarah, prepare a carriage immediately.
00:11:47Royal Guard! We're going to Black Rock City right now!
00:11:51At once, Your Majesty!
00:11:57Your Majesty!
00:11:59Your Majesty, we will reach Black Rock City before the midday bell.
00:12:03The Greys own the workshop. They've long craved royal status.
00:12:07As for the holly silk, it was woven by Erik Grey's fiancé.
00:12:13What is her name?
00:12:17Her name is...
00:12:21Shereel.
00:12:23It is her!
00:12:24Your Majesty, the kingdom is vast and many girls share that name.
00:12:28To be certain, I'll send someone for her hair or nails for a bloodline deputation.
00:12:35You are right. Bloodline or not, such exquisite craftsmanship deserves recognition.
00:12:41Send my orders, appoint Erik Grey 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? I cooked it myself. The taste won't disappoint you.
00:13:30It's so cold outside. Why don't you go back and rest to keep warm?
00:13:36I'm about to marry my Mr. Right.
00:13:38I need to sell a few more bowls on my lunch break.
00:13:41Gotta save up for a decent dowry.
00:13:45Counting the time.
00:13:47My daughter should be right at that age.
00:13:50I'll take a bowl.
00:13:52May the gods bless your marriage, good child.
00:14:07My daughter should be in the house.
00:14:09I have never had to guess, what can you do?
00:14:19My daughter should be in the house.
00:14:20This bracelet.
00:14:21Why does it look so familiar?
00:14:23I have no more of my friends and family, the animals and the animals.
00:14:29I have no more to play with me on my own.
00:14:34I have no more.
00:14:40Madam, you gave me too much!
00:14:46So many silver coins.
00:14:48If I ever meet this generous lady again, I must return every single one to her.
00:14:54Sherek! Good news!
00:14:56The royal charter arrived.
00:14:58Master Eric was bestowed the title of Baron.
00:15:02Really?
00:15:03Oh my god, that's amazing!
00:15:05The bishop already took Eric to the Grand Cathedral.
00:15:08The nightling's happening right now.
00:15:10His dream finally came true.
00:15:12He told me he'd announce our engagement at the ceremony.
00:15:20Hurry, let's go to the Grand Cathedral!
00:15:32I heard licorice helps with coughing, so I added some to the soup.
00:15:35Hurry and try it.
00:15:47Licorice!
00:15:48Your Majesty, why would there be licorice in pea soup?
00:15:50It's Shereel.
00:15:51That's my Shereel.
00:15:53There's no mistake.
00:15:54Only my daughter would add licorice to this soup.
00:15:57Turn around!
00:15:58Go back to that stall!
00:16:14Shereel!
00:16:15Shereel!
00:16:16Shereel, where are you?
00:16:17My child!
00:16:20Your Majesty, please don't panic.
00:16:27That girl, she works at the workshop.
00:16:31The bells are ringing.
00:16:32She must have rushed to the cathedral for Eric's ceremony.
00:16:40Go, to the Grand Cathedral.
00:16:45This time, I will definitely find her!
00:16:52Oh my God, incredible!
00:16:54Heard the Queen have signed your baron order.
00:16:56Lord Eric, you're noble now.
00:16:58Don't forget us little guys.
00:17:00Honor comes from God and the Queen.
00:17:01I'll stay grounded, of course.
00:17:07My son was born with elegant taste, so chosen by Majesty.
00:17:11He was destined to enter high society.
00:17:14Exactly.
00:17:15Baron is just the beginning.
00:17:17With my son's talent, Vitnot, Count, it's only a matter of time!
00:17:27Your Majesty, that's Eric Gray in the centre.
00:17:31Where's the girl who woe the holly silk?
00:17:33Where's my daughter?
00:17:37Today, everyone will know I am his fiancée.
00:17:40I'm finally going to have a real home.
00:17:42Your Majesty, it's her.
00:17:44She's right there!
00:17:50Your Highness, wait for the shaman's divination results before we go to claim her.
00:18:07By the mandate of the Queen and the grace of the gods, we gather here to bestow the title of
00:18:12Baron.
00:18:12Eric Gray swears to shield the weak and pledge eternal fairity to the crown.
00:18:17From this day forward, you are a Baron of the Kingdom!
00:18:22Lord Eric!
00:18:23Lord Eric!
00:18:26Lord Eric!
00:18:27Lord Eric!
00:18:27Everyone, I owe this moment of supreme glory to the woman who has always stood by me in silence.
00:18:34She helped me win the Queen's favour!
00:18:37She helped me win the Queen's favour!
00:18:37She is my soulmate!
00:18:39At this sacred moment, I wish to announce my future bride to everyone!
00:18:44It has to be Shereel.
00:18:46She's the one who spent years on those fabrics.
00:18:48She even ran a soup stall to afford her dowry.
00:18:50That poor girl gave him everything.
00:18:52Marrying a woman like Shereel, that's a real blessing for the Grey family.
00:18:55I will spend my whole life loving her!
00:18:59Marrying a woman like Shereel!
00:19:00She is...
00:19:04...the daughter of Count Grove!
00:19:09Lady Bella!
00:19:11Lady Bella!
00:19:14Lady Bella!
00:19:37Surya
00:19:49Everyone, I owe this honor to Lady Bella
00:19:52Bella, without you, none of this would exist
00:19:56You are the only love of my life
00:19:58I swear before God, I am yours, forever
00:20:03I don't understand
00:20:05I stayed up through the bitter cold
00:20:07Pouring my soul into those designs
00:20:10Every stitch, my blood
00:20:12Every tribute, my life
00:20:14And you
00:20:17In three days, I will hold a grand wedding with Lady Bella
00:20:23Bella is Count Groove's princess
00:20:25Now that Eric's a baron, they're a perfect match
00:20:27Surya's just a weaver
00:20:28A commoner and a noble worlds apart
00:20:32She never stood a chance
00:20:34Impossible
00:20:35Eric swore to me
00:20:37He's not the kind of hypocritical scumbag who clings to power
00:20:41Bah!
00:20:42You're a bastard who doesn't even know who your mother is and you delusionally think you can cling to my
00:20:47noble son
00:20:49No money, no power, what gives you the right to step in a baron's house?
00:20:54Listen here you little nobody, if you dare rock Eric's wedding to a Count's daughter I will have your legs
00:20:59broken
00:21:00We're nobility now, shielded by the crown
00:21:02Crushing someone like you, we won't even get a slack on the wrist
00:21:08Your Majesty, the divination results aren't out yet
00:21:11Hold on, don't reveal yourself
00:21:16Eric, what is this?
00:21:18Tell me where all your past vows lies
00:21:20I don't care what others say about me, I just want your answer
00:21:30Marrying you?
00:21:32What kind of lowly bitch do you think you are?
00:21:38No money, no power, no family name
00:21:42You're a nobody
00:21:43No different from a stray dog begging in the gutter
00:21:48Don't mind her my lady
00:21:50She's a mere peasant worker who's obsessed with me
00:21:52No matter how many times I push her away
00:21:54She keeps throwing herself at me
00:21:56Low breeding, she has no concept of dignity
00:21:59Chiriel, in our workshop
00:22:02You are nothing but a dumb ox grinding the mill for free
00:22:06Tell me folks, what self-respecting gentlemen would marry livestock?
00:22:17Blood is destiny and yours is worthless
00:22:22Nobles belong with nobles
00:22:23Peasants belong in the dirt
00:22:25Go back to the workshop where you belong
00:22:27Do your work
00:22:29And maybe we'll feed you our table scraps
00:22:32Your majesty
00:22:34Go rush the royal shamans yourself
00:22:35Bring the results to me immediately
00:22:36Yes, your majesty
00:22:50So all those sleepless nights I gave you
00:22:53Every drop of soul I poured into you
00:22:55Couldn't measure up to a noble bloodline
00:22:59What you did I could hire a maid to do for a few coppers
00:23:02How is that a sacrifice?
00:23:04I was born to be worshipped
00:23:05And you were born to kneel in the mud
00:23:10You've got some nerve
00:23:11Throw a tantrum in a sacred cathedral over my man
00:23:16You'd better think twice about whether your cheap little life is worth crossing me
00:23:21The daughter of Count Grove
00:23:24Without me, he'd never even be standing on this platform today
00:23:28His glory was earned stitch by stitch
00:23:31By my hands
00:23:33Without me, he is nothing
00:23:45How dare you, you lowlife
00:23:48Yell at my fiancees in the house of God
00:23:57Sarah, why aren't you back yet?
00:24:04So Eric, the mask finally slips
00:24:07It's not that I'm unworthy of you
00:24:09It's that your filthy soul doesn't deserve a single beat of my heart
00:24:16I'm a baron of the realm, you're just jealous of Bella
00:24:19She's the noblest lady here
00:24:21And you're nothing but a nameless orphan
00:24:23Don't you dare compare your pathetic life to hers
00:24:26Exactly
00:24:27For you to outrank a Count's daughter
00:24:29You'd need royal blood in your veins
00:24:31You'd need to be the Queen's own daughter
00:24:33Please
00:24:36She doesn't even know her own parents
00:24:37She's probably the love child of some drunk in a back alley hooker
00:24:41I wouldn't want a vow-breaking snake like you anyway
00:24:44Eric, I worked in your shop for years
00:24:47And never asked for a dime in wages
00:24:49Keep the money
00:24:50Just give me back what's mine
00:24:52Give
00:24:53Me
00:24:54Back
00:24:54That holly silk
00:24:59Why isn't she back yet?
00:25:01I own the workshop
00:25:02You're just a worker
00:25:04How dare a servant demand things from her boss
00:25:08You're an orphan with no one
00:25:09The fact that I fed you at all was charity
00:25:11Don't push your luck
00:25:21Are you this desperate because you want to crawl into his bed?
00:25:27Kneel and beg me now
00:25:29Once I get pregnant, maybe I'll let you stick around to warm my husband up
00:25:33You are shameless
00:25:35Eric
00:25:36This peasant dare to hurt me
00:25:38You must punish her severely
00:25:40Guards
00:25:41Seize her
00:25:48What are you doing?
00:25:52What are you doing?
00:25:54Shuri
00:25:54I am punishing you for your blatant insolence
00:25:57How dare a peasant disrespect a noble
00:26:00Eric
00:26:01You break your promises
00:26:03Shame on you
00:26:04If the queen knew you were this kind of person
00:26:07She would definitely punish you
00:26:08The queen?
00:26:09The queen is in the capital
00:26:10She has no time to care if a lowly commoner lives or dies
00:26:14Eric
00:26:15This bitch has derailed our wedding enough
00:26:16She even laid hands on me
00:26:18Choose now
00:26:18Kill her and prove your loyalty to me
00:26:20Or let her walk and our engagement is void
00:26:22You know what to do
00:26:27Shuriya

00:45:48that thing on your wrist is enough to expose your lowly status
00:45:51a red string
00:45:53that's a peasant's toy
00:45:55even slum kids wouldn't touch that filth
00:45:58you expect us to believe the queen would wear such a lowly piece of trash
00:46:03don't be joked

01:02:50and say
01:02:51and say
01:02:51in the way
01:02:51and say
01:02:51and this is
01:02:53I apologize, your highness. You were frightened. I 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. Thank god
01:03:07you'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. I wounded the assassin's right arm. He carries that scar. I'll give the guards this lead. We will
01:03:42catch him.
01:03:44I'm scared he'll come back.
01:03:46Starting 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. Sarah told me a thug broke in. My heart nearly stopped.
01:04:31Mother. I'm fine. Duke Aris broke the door down just in time.
01:04:39That damned throg! Shereel! Did you see who it was?
01:04:46The room was too dark. He stayed in the shadows the whole time. I... couldn't see his face.
01:04:53But I pierced his arm. Even without a face, the wound will identify him.
01:05:01Lockdown! Seal every exit!
01:05:03The assassin has a sword wound on his right arm.
01:05:06Turn this palace upside down. Drag 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.
01:05:32If you hadn't come, I would have been trapped, Shadow, for the 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 sword manstripping.
01:06:01I was so close.
01:06:03If that man hadn't burst in...
01:06:10Shereel, 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 right 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.
01:06:42Line up now.
01:06:43Expose your arms.
01:06:44Anyone who resists is treated as an accomplice.
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.
01:06:59Behind the stables.
01:07:22I swear it was the most absurd scene I've ever witnessed in my life.
01:07:26The guy literally face-planted into a barrel full of mucer.
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.
01:08:04Hold 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.
01:08:17He...
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.
01:09:59Oh my God.
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.
01:11:24It won't come off.
01:11:30I will make you both pay for my humiliation.
01:11:42Your 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.
01:12:11Only 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.
01:12:47Alright.
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.
01:13:09Just 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?
01:13:30He passed out on a deserted road.
01:13:31If we hadn't found him,
01:13:32he'd be dead when he were getting paid for this.
01:13:34Where is he?
01:13:35At the physician's.
01:13:36I 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.
01:14:48Looks 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.
01:15:27Struggle, my princess.
01:15:30Here, in this holy prayer room,
01:15:32I will personally crush
01:15:33your arrogant pride.
01:15:43Did you think you can fight back against me?
01:15:53Let me see who you really are.
01:16:03It's you, Erik.
01:16:07Shiryant, you were supposed to wail beneath my body and become my gold ticket.
01:16:12Shut up!
01:16:13Give him 30 lashes, throw him in the dungeon, and report to Her Majesty that the assassin has been caught!
01:16:20Forgive me, Your Grace.
01:16:21I let a decoy distract me and left you defenseless against that maniac.
01:16:26If you had been hurt, my life wouldn't have been enough to pay for my failure.
01:16:29I've failed you.
01:16:30Ares, look 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, not made you do it yourself.
01:16:42I cannot forgive myself.
01:16:45If that's the case, then I will give you a punishment.
01:16:52If that's the case, then I will give you a punishment.
01:16:56Guard my side every moment for the rest of your life.
01:16:59Never look away.
01:17:01Be my sole protector for a lifetime.
01:17:05Your Highness, do you mean it to me?
01:17:09This isn't a punishment, but a reward.
01:17:11Will you accept it, my Duke Heiress?
01:17:13I swear to protect you for eternity.
01:17:28By royal decree, Eric Gray, a mere commoner, has attempted to assassinate the princess.
01:17:34Sorry.
01:17:35Eric, what is he saying?
01:17:38By royal law and Her Majesty's will, Eric Gray is hereby stripped of all civil rights.
01:17:44In three days, he shall hang by the neck until 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, we might as well risk it all.
01:18:06What do you mean?
01:18:07An unwed princess, caught in a commoner's room.
01:18:12The rumours alone would ruin you forever.
01:18:14Yes!
01:18:15We can use her reputation against her, and 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, or 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, not a trace of noble arrogance in her eyes.
01:18:51Sheryl isn't arrogant, because not long ago, she was just a grubby weaver dealing in coarse linen all day!
01:18:58You folks probably don't know this, but this noble princess used to live with our family.
01:19:03No name of her own back then, and her only ambition was to cling to my son, Eric.
01:19:07Poor thing, to keep her claws in Eric, she would use bringing dinner as an excuse to sneak into a
01:19:12man's bedroom late at night.
01:19:15She'd stay for hours, and the noises behind that door.
01:19:19Holy mother, it was unbearable!
01:19:21Could it be Her Highness has already been with a man?
01:19:24If she really fooled about with a commoner man in his bedroom night, that is the greatest stain on the
01:19:29royal family's reputation.
01:19:43It's been so long. You must be doing well.
01:19:46Make the queen stop the execution. Now, and announce you'll marry him.
01:19:49Or I'll leak every filthy tale of your intimate knights.
01:19:53The crown won't hesitate to disown a disgraced heir.
01:19:55Shut your mouth, you liar.
01:19:57My relationship with Eric was clean. We never crossed a single line.
01:20:01Go ahead. Try to smear my name with your trash. See who survives.
01:20:05Back in the Black Rock City workshop, who was sneaking into my son's room on cold nights?
01:20:10Who spent those secret afternoons glued to my paw, Eric?
01:20:14Why won't you just admit it?
01:20:16Does that mean the princess did forbidden things with a man?
01:20:19What a disgrace to the royal name.
01:20:21That never happened. You are lying.
01:20:24The heiress is here.
01:20:29Lord Duke, perfect timing!
01:20:31She and my son were lovers, doing shameful things in that humble bedroom.
01:20:36Do not marry her!
01:20:46No, no, that's not true.
01:20:49It absolutely is!
01:20:52Cheryl and Eric's affair is 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?
01:21:09It's me.
01:21:12Enough! Put away your sickening, clumsy acting!
01:21:16Iris, do you trust me?
01:21:20Of course I trust you.
01:21:21You are my fiancé, my future wife, the mother of my future children, the person I want to spend my
01:21:27life 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?
01:21:44You are not only insulting my fiancé, but...
01:21:48Trampling 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 Sherrill doing laundry in the freezing winter, while 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 to 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 and slander the princess.
01:22:29Tomorrow at noon, you and Eric will repent on the gallows.
01:23:00The fireworks celebrating our wedding
01:23:02are so beautiful.
01:23:05We 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.
01:23:18I habit it for you.
01:23:24Until next time,
