00:00:01Get those banners hoisted. Straighten the garlands.
00:00:04Bring the wine to the guests. Now!
00:00:09Today's a blessed day. The old gods are smiling on us.
00:00:20Whose wretched carriage is this? Have you any idea what day it is?
00:00:24You're blocking Lady Isabella's path on her wedding day.
00:00:28Bring me Alistair.
00:00:29You dare speak his name? You're not fit to breathe the same air.
00:00:34I am Morgana. I have come to collect what is mine.
00:00:44I'll fetch him right away!
00:00:49Sixty years. You've had my eyes. Now I want them back.
00:00:53A grand day. My daughter marries a prince.
00:00:58My lord! My lord!
00:01:00Control yourself.
00:01:02A woman at the gates. She says her name is Morgana. She demands to see you. Now.
00:01:12Morgana.
00:01:14Forgive me. I didn't know you were coming.
00:01:17House Alistram is yours. Show us mercy.
00:01:20My lord. You are a duke. You kneel to no one but the king.
00:01:24One more word. And I'll cut it out myself.
00:01:29My lady. Please.
00:01:48Mind the steps, my lady.
00:01:49Mind the steps, my lady.
00:01:54The sky turns.
00:02:04Sixty years ago, I broke myself into twelve embers.
00:02:11The throne was secured. It is time.
00:02:20To reclaim them all.
00:02:26I assumed we were hosting royalty.
00:02:29For my husband to grovel so.
00:02:32To greet you himself.
00:02:34I simply had to see who...
00:02:45Magana, was it?
00:02:47You are a guest in my halls.
00:02:49Drink.
00:02:54Your wine, my lady.
00:02:57A blind witch.
00:02:59This shall prove too easy.
00:03:10But...
00:03:10I told them to boil it.
00:03:12Doorish vintage.
00:03:14Pity it turned to vinegar.
00:03:16Masked with...
00:03:17Heavy spice.
00:03:20Poured from the rot.
00:03:21At the bottom of your cellar.
00:03:23Is this...
00:03:24How House Alistair hides its decay?
00:03:27How could she possibly smell that?
00:03:29She knows. How could she know?
00:03:31You insolent wretch.
00:03:33Keep your filthy mouth.
00:03:39By his wits alone did Lord Alistair survive.
00:03:42Isabella, your gown!
00:03:43A tragedy.
00:03:45His bloodline rots with you.
00:03:47How dare you!
00:03:49My husband may tolerate your delusions.
00:03:51But I will not!
00:03:53You just assaulted the future Crown Princess.
00:03:55By royal decree, you will kneel and you will bleed for it.
00:03:59She is a fool.
00:04:00You are worse.
00:04:02Even the gods of the underworld have yet to see me kneel.
00:04:07Why would you?
00:04:10We shall see.
00:04:12Gods, take her!
00:04:18And break her legs.
00:04:20Do it!
00:04:25Seize her!
00:04:26Now!
00:04:34Oh my god!
00:04:38Oh my god!
00:04:40Oh my god!
00:04:41Oh my god!
00:04:41Oh my god!
00:04:42Oh my god!
00:04:43Stop this at once!
00:04:45Fools!
00:04:46Ah!
00:04:50Morgana!
00:04:51They know nothing!
00:04:52They acted out of turn!
00:04:54Spare them!
00:04:56I beg of you!
00:04:58Alistair!
00:04:59Father!
00:04:59Both of you!
00:05:00You blind arrogant fools!
00:05:03She chose restraint!
00:05:05Or you would already be ashes upon this floor!
00:05:08On your knees!
00:05:09Beg for your lives!
00:05:12I bow to no one!
00:05:14I am the future Crown Princess!
00:05:17I will wear the crown!
00:05:19I will rule this realm!
00:05:23I am a queen!
00:05:24She is just a-
00:05:26I am a queen!
00:05:28She is just a-
00:05:30A pity.
00:05:33No crown rests on a dead woman.
00:05:37You will die before the wedding bells ring.
00:05:56No!
00:05:58You!
00:05:59Get out of my house!
00:06:01Silence your tongue!
00:06:03Morgana.
00:06:04Please.
00:06:05How do we stop this?
00:06:06Call off the royal wedding.
00:06:08Break betrothal
00:06:12Or
00:06:13She dies
00:06:23The royal escort led by the obsidian guard
00:06:26Commander Cedric himself
00:06:28The reaper of the realm
00:06:37The prophecy is written
00:06:42And the king's edict
00:06:53Commander Cedric
00:06:54You heard the prophecy
00:06:55If Isabella rides to the palace today
00:06:58It will be her funeral
00:07:00The crown commands this union, Lord Alistair
00:07:04My escort is already at your gates
00:07:07You dare defy the throne over cheap politrix
00:07:11And break the royal contract
00:07:14Unless
00:07:16You doubt my ability to keep her breathing
00:07:20No, commander
00:07:21Your blade is legendary
00:07:23Your tactics flawless
00:07:24The king trusts no other
00:07:26She is safe with you
00:07:28But
00:07:30Morgana has seen it
00:07:31She is our only hope
00:07:33Alistair
00:07:34The king's patience is not infinite
00:07:36Do not humiliate us for a blind witch
00:07:39The crown's wrath will burn this castle to the ground
00:07:43I will not let you ruin us
00:07:45She is right
00:07:46She is right, father
00:07:46I am perfectly safe with the commander
00:07:49Have the carriage ready
00:07:51I will fetch my veil
00:07:58Isabella
00:07:59Let her go
00:08:01The hour is set
00:08:02My debt
00:08:03My debt shall be claimed
00:08:04When the blood runs dry
00:08:12Play the prophet
00:08:13Watch her cross those gates alive
00:08:18I'll feel the blood
00:08:22Bring the oracle a horse
00:08:24I will貴
00:08:25I willach
00:08:25I'm awww
00:08:54I don't know.
00:09:11Take them to the Iron Court.
00:09:13I want a name.
00:09:14Yes, Commander!
00:09:23Thank the gods Cedric was here.
00:09:25We're safe.
00:09:27He earned his coin.
00:09:31You fight well, mortal.
00:09:33Pity it changes nothing.
00:09:35I do not guess.
00:09:38The grave is dug.
00:09:41The hour is here!
00:09:43Step forward, future Empress!
00:09:51Isabella, my love, finally.
00:10:07I'm ready, Father.
00:10:09The crown is mine.
00:10:11Our legacy begins.
00:10:15My daughter.
00:10:16Our ultimate masterpiece.
00:10:21Lock it down!
00:10:22Double guards!
00:10:23Kill anything that moves.
00:10:24Nothing touched that carriage.
00:10:26Are we clear?
00:10:27Crystal clear, Captain.
00:10:28Consider it done.
00:10:29You're wasting men.
00:10:33The prophecy has spoken.
00:10:35The Bride won't survive this journey.
00:10:37I am never wrong.
00:10:39Enlighten me then, Oracle.
00:10:41Give me a name.
00:10:42How exactly does she die?
00:10:44Give me real intel.
00:10:46Do that, I might believe you.
00:10:48Seeing the end requires a price.
00:10:50A transaction.
00:10:52I see the blood.
00:10:54The question is, can you afford it?
00:10:58There it is.
00:10:59The classic shakedown we always get here.
00:11:02Just a beggar!
00:11:02I could watch the Duke's daughter in her wedding dress.
00:11:06Perfectly protected by your elite guards.
00:11:08Ride straight to her execution.
00:11:10Let me ride with your convoy.
00:11:13Take me.
00:11:14I'll prove you wrong.
00:11:19I see the threads.
00:11:22Every drop of blood before it falls.
00:11:25The end is written.
00:11:27You're just walking the path blind.
00:11:30Cut the riddles.
00:11:31You're in my cell now.
00:11:35If you see everything,
00:11:37then what happens next?
00:11:39Does the blade slip?
00:11:40Does the steel bite?
00:11:42Or maybe I'm just sick of your games
00:11:43and slit your throat right now!
00:11:45Did you see that?
00:11:50A seer is blind to her own end.
00:11:53That is the only law I obey.
00:11:56Then tell me how this ends.
00:11:59But you cannot kill me, Cedric.
00:12:04Let's put that to the test.
00:12:06Steel cannot touch me.
00:12:11By drawing it on me, you owe a deadly debt.
00:12:14Madness.
00:12:15I serve the crown.
00:12:17I don't fear witches.
00:12:21Still believe in hard facts, Commander?
00:12:24Commander!
00:12:26We have a situation.
00:12:27The prisoners from the ambush, sir.
00:12:29They took poison.
00:12:31Hidden in their teeth.
00:12:32They're all dead.
00:12:33Trails cold.
00:12:34Dead?
00:12:35You let our only witnesses die in chains?
00:12:37They were paid to die.
00:12:39They'd never talk.
00:12:41You want the true killer?
00:12:43Stop asking the living.
00:12:44They only lie.
00:12:46I'll make the dead speak.
00:12:58The prophecy.
00:13:00She knew.
00:13:02How?
00:13:03She was right there.
00:13:04The prophecy is fulfilled.
00:13:06Her blood is spilled.
00:13:08You killed my daughter!
00:13:10Your daughter's death was a tragedy.
00:13:12Eleanor, don't provoke her.
00:13:14Look at the carriage.
00:13:15The doors were sealed.
00:13:17Who else could bypass those locks?
00:13:19Enough!
00:13:20Seal the gates.
00:13:21Nobody leaves this short yard.
00:13:23You're all suspects.
00:13:24Take them to the iron court.
00:13:31We're alone.
00:13:33Just tell me the damn truth.
00:13:34How did you reach inside a moving, heavily guarded carriage
00:13:38and take her head without a single sound?
00:13:41You mapped out her execution beforehand.
00:13:45Fine.
00:13:47Say you didn't swing the blade yourself.
00:13:50But you orchestrated this.
00:13:54If that comforts you, you may use it.
00:14:01You said you could make the dead speak.
00:14:03Name your price.
00:14:05There's always a price with you.
00:14:07Always.
00:14:08Name it.
00:14:09Whatever closes this investigation.
00:14:12I want your absolute obedience.
00:14:15When I speak, you do not question.
00:14:19When I point, you do not hesitate.
00:14:21My loyalty is to the crown.
00:14:23I don't give blind trust.
00:14:25I have the killer.
00:14:27If you put the murderer in front of me, then you have my trust.
00:14:32Don't make a vow you can't keep, Commander.
00:14:35You have my word.
00:14:36I won't break it.
00:14:41Take this.
00:14:43Sew her head back on.
00:14:45You want me to mutilate a royal corpse?
00:14:47Every second you wait, she fades.
00:14:53Her soul is bleeding out.
00:14:57It's done.
00:14:58What now?
00:15:00Open the doors.
00:15:02Bring them all.
00:15:04The grieving father.
00:15:06The weeping mother.
00:15:08Bring the prince who lost his bride.
00:15:10We are going to hold a court of our own.
00:15:19Isabella, my baby.
00:15:21Oh, God.
00:15:23Hold her back.
00:15:23Don't let her touch the body.
00:15:25Let me go.
00:15:25That's my daughter.
00:15:27Why is she here?
00:15:28Why is that blind woman in the judge's seat?
00:15:31Commander Ashworth, she killed her.
00:15:34She cursed my daughter and you let her sit there.
00:15:37His Royal Highness Prince Kale.
00:15:40Isabella, let me through.
00:15:43Isabella, no.
00:15:45Look what they did to you, my beautiful girl.
00:15:48The audience is here.
00:15:50Let the performance end.
00:15:53Flesh to thread.
00:15:56Bone to command.
00:15:59Rise.
00:16:05You demanded proof, Commander.
00:16:07Behold the truth.
00:16:10You wove the crimson soul thread yourself.
00:16:14The bond is forged.
00:16:17Ask her.
00:16:19Isabella Alastom.
00:16:21Is your killer here?
00:16:24Is your killer here?
00:16:47Keep that thing away.
00:16:48She's bewitched.
00:16:55The crown is ours, father.
00:17:07The crown is ours, father.
00:17:12Edmund Alaston.
00:17:18Now, confess.
00:17:24Edmund Alaston, do you confess?
00:17:28I confess to nothing!
00:17:30You sick witch!
00:17:32You killed her!
00:17:33You puppeted her corpse to frame us!
00:17:36He took you in.
00:17:38You repay us with blood!
00:17:41This is madness!
00:17:42A father doesn't slaughter his own blood!
00:17:46Isabella was my pride!
00:17:48Why would I destroy my own future?
00:17:51See the truth!
00:17:52His own blood, that's true.
00:17:56But what if that girl was never your blood at all?
00:18:01Eleanor.
00:18:02Why did the Emperor betroth Isabella to Prince Kael?
00:18:05It was destiny.
00:18:07The Emperor declared it.
00:18:09They were born the exact same hour.
00:18:13Blessed by the gods.
00:18:15Wait!
00:18:17It's impossible!
00:18:18Edmund, tell me you didn't!
00:18:21I had to secure our bloodline.
00:18:28Give me the child I must see.
00:18:30Tell the truth.
00:18:32Is it a boy?
00:18:33A girl, my lady.
00:18:35A girl?
00:18:36No!
00:18:37You're lying!
00:18:38A daughter.
00:18:39Just as I said.
00:18:41Why me?
00:18:45The consort is waiting.
00:18:47If it's a boy, I'm ruined!
00:18:50Breathe, my lady.
00:18:51Panic is a luxury we can't afford.
00:18:53Duke Alistair has already arranged a solution.
00:18:56Bring the bundle inside.
00:18:57Now.
00:19:01Look closely.
00:19:03Pure Alistair blood.
00:19:05A flawless son.
00:19:07Yours, if you dare.
00:19:10A son!
00:19:11From now on, you are mine.
00:19:14The true heir of this house.
00:19:18My son.
00:19:19My heir.
00:19:39You're telling this court I'm Duke Alistair's son?
00:19:43No.
00:19:44No.
00:19:45No, no.
00:19:46I am the crown prince!
00:19:51It can't be.
00:19:53How could my husband do such a thing?
00:19:55This is treason!
00:19:57What could he possibly want to risk all our lives?
00:20:00What did he want?
00:20:01Your son.
00:20:03Sitting on the throne.
00:20:04That's what he wanted.
00:20:08You need proof to make such claims.
00:20:10This dark sorcery proves absolutely nothing.
00:20:13Lord Alistair, if I had to guess, the moment the emperor degreed Isabella's marriage, you
00:20:19realized if she entered the royal court, the crown would eventually discover her secret.
00:20:23So you hired a pack of mercenaries to stage a bandit raid on the carriage.
00:20:27But Morgana's warning put my guard on alert.
00:20:30You feared with extra men your hired killers wouldn't be able to finish the job, so you
00:20:33killed your own daughter before she left.
00:20:35And as for your loyal servants, they break much faster than paid assassins.
00:20:39Commander!
00:20:40Commander Ashworth!
00:20:41Lord Alistair's personal guard, they've confessed to everything.
00:20:44The signed confessions.
00:20:45They admit the duke ordered them to silence Isabella before she even left.
00:20:53My entire life of scheming!
00:20:57All crushed by fate's cruel hand.
00:21:01The eye you granted us gave House Alistair an absolute power.
00:21:06Unmatched wealth.
00:21:08Unmatched glory.
00:21:09But the emperor still stood above me until that day when I saw, I saw.
00:21:22I saw the truth.
00:21:24If my son took the cradle, he'd rule the world.
00:21:30But the vision didn't end there.
00:21:32I saw the flaw that would kill us.
00:21:34The decree.
00:21:36The royal wedding.
00:21:37If Isabella entered that palace, he would see my daughter.
00:21:43He'd see the exact face of the young empress.
00:21:47He's not blind.
00:21:49He'd know exactly what I did.
00:21:52I had no choice!
00:21:54You must see that!
00:21:55I had to cut the rot out.
00:21:58I had to protect my family!
00:22:00My son will be emperor!
00:22:02I had to!
00:22:07Morgana, I confess it all.
00:22:09Punish me alone.
00:22:11I beg you, look at me!
00:22:12Remember my father's loyalty!
00:22:16Spare my wife!
00:22:17He's lying!
00:22:18We knew nothing!
00:22:19Please!
00:22:20I'm begging you!
00:22:22Take my life, but let them live!
00:22:24Granted.
00:22:25Thank you, oracle.
00:22:29My life for theirs.
00:22:31Edmund!
00:22:32No!
00:22:33Edmund!
00:22:34No, Edmund!
00:22:37Edmund!
00:22:38Please stay!
00:22:41Wake up, please!
00:22:43Don't leave me!
00:22:44No!
00:22:45No!
00:22:48No!
00:22:49No!
00:22:50No!
00:22:52No!
00:22:52No!
00:22:53No!
00:22:54No!
00:22:54No!
00:23:17I gave them my sight, to watch the dark.
00:23:21Instead, they watched the throne.
00:23:24Built a lie.
00:23:25Thought they could cheat fate.
00:23:27Thought they owned me.
00:23:29They own nothing.
00:23:31I'm taking it all back.
00:23:34With blood.
00:23:36Mortal hands cannot hold the weight of a god.
00:23:39It crushes them.
00:23:42The Alistair debt is settled.
00:23:44My sight is mine again.
00:23:48Now, we move to the next house.
00:23:51Stop!
00:23:52You can't just march in there.
00:23:54This is treason.
00:23:55I must alert the Emperor.
00:23:57No need to call the Emperor.
00:23:59He's already here.
00:24:05God.
00:24:07The Emperor.
00:24:11Your Majesty.
00:24:16By Royal Decree, Prince Kale and the Empress are hereby spankstripped of titles.
00:24:21They shall be cast into the Black Cells.
00:24:25It shall be done.
00:24:32Lady Morgana!
00:24:33Lady Morgana!
00:24:35It's you!
00:24:35Careful, sire!
00:24:37Morgana!
00:24:38Sire, wait!
00:24:39Lady Morgana!
00:24:41Oh, my Lady Morgana!
00:24:43Forgive me!
00:24:45It's my fault.
00:24:47I was blind to let them trouble you.
00:24:50I wish to name you High Protector.
00:24:52To guide the realm.
00:24:54Every mage alive will answer only to your command.
00:24:59My rule is simple.
00:25:01One shard for one question.
00:25:03You want a prophecy?
00:25:05Give me your family's ancient inheritance.
00:25:08The crown shard in exchange.
00:25:12Right.
00:25:13If you wish to reclaim the shard, I will gladly return it.
00:25:18After all, my family owes are thrown to you.
00:25:21Power is a debt.
00:25:22When I give and when I take, is my choice alone.
00:25:27Why the rush?
00:25:28Yes, you are completely right.
00:25:31Please, rest at Ashramith Palace.
00:25:33Everything will grant her than...
00:25:35No, no!
00:25:36Higher than Imperial standards!
00:25:38No need.
00:25:39I am going to Ashwith Keep.
00:25:42Besides, my heart currently belongs to him.
00:25:54Yes, yes, of course.
00:25:56Take my royal carriage.
00:25:59Please, my lady.
00:26:00After you.
00:26:01Your Grace, that is the sovereign's carriage.
00:26:04It breaks royal protocol.
00:26:05Shut your mouth!
00:26:08Lady Morgana is the law.
00:26:09Her word is absolute.
00:26:11There is no protocol in this world that outrants her.
00:26:13Isn't that right, my dear lady?
00:26:15Please.
00:26:17Mind the step, my lady.
00:26:19Careful now.
00:26:20Very careful.
00:26:22Commander Ashworth.
00:26:23Your Grace.
00:26:24If she suffers even a scratch, I swear to God,
00:26:26I will hang every last member of your retted house.
00:26:29Do I make myself clear?
00:26:31Crystal clear, Your Grace.
00:26:33My dear Lady Morgana,
00:26:34I have just remembered
00:26:36some urgent matters of state to attend to.
00:26:39I must take my leave.
00:26:44You serve Lady Morgana now.
00:26:46Farewell.
00:26:47Have a pleasant journey.
00:26:52Earlier you said
00:26:53that I had your heart.
00:26:54What the hell does that mean?
00:26:56Sixty years ago,
00:26:58my heart was carved from my chest.
00:27:01It is not with you.
00:27:04It is in your house.
00:27:07My house?
00:27:11This way, Lady Morgana.
00:27:13Thanks to your grace,
00:27:14sixty years ago,
00:27:15when you bestowed the Heartmen Shard upon us,
00:27:18the Ashworth name is now renowned for our healing arts.
00:27:20You see?
00:27:21These afflicted souls travel from the furthest corners of the kingdom,
00:27:25seeking our aid.
00:27:26So,
00:27:27the legendary Ashworth healing arts
00:27:30actually came from you.
00:27:33Tell me then,
00:27:35just how old are you exactly?
00:27:37Does it matter to you?
00:27:39Please, my lord,
00:27:40save my mother!
00:27:41Wake up, mama!
00:27:42Somebody help her!
00:27:43Have mercy!
00:27:44Please help my mother!
00:27:45I beg of you!
00:27:47This is all the coin I have.
00:27:49Please,
00:27:51show some mercy.
00:27:52A handful of dirty coppers?
00:27:54And you expect the Master's healing for that?
00:27:57Get out of here now!
00:27:59Stop wasting everyone's time.
00:28:00Selina!
00:28:03Cedric!
00:28:04You're finally home!
00:28:06When I gave your family the Shard,
00:28:08it was to heal the Broken.
00:28:10To serve the Realm,
00:28:12not to exploit the weak.
00:28:13You have broken the Pact.
00:28:15Give the Fragment back.
00:28:16Who do you think you are?
00:28:18How dare a commoner like you
00:28:20make demands in Ashwild Key!
00:28:22Silence!
00:28:22Show her respect!
00:28:25This is Selina Frost.
00:28:27A ward
00:28:28taken in by my father.
00:28:30Selina.
00:28:31We heal the sick,
00:28:33regardless of coin.
00:28:34Have you forgotten?
00:28:35Go to the chapel.
00:28:36Pray.
00:28:37Beg her forgiveness.
00:28:38You heard him!
00:28:39To the chapel now!
00:28:42I beg your pardon, my lady.
00:28:45I had no idea she was extorting them.
00:28:48Rest assured,
00:28:50the Ashwilds honor your gift.
00:28:51We'd never turn away the poor.
00:28:53Most days,
00:28:54we treat all these commoners
00:28:55without asking for any money.
00:28:58I said,
00:28:59return the Shard.
00:29:02Or do you mean to defy me?
00:29:04No, no!
00:29:05The relic
00:29:06is rightfully yours!
00:29:07I will return it to you
00:29:09immediately.
00:29:10It is just,
00:29:11the Hartman Shard
00:29:12is kept safe
00:29:13by my eldest,
00:29:14Marin.
00:29:14She's been in seclusion
00:29:15at a distant abbey for years.
00:29:17Once she returns
00:29:18from her retreat,
00:29:19I will present it to you myself.
00:29:21Fine.
00:29:21I will wait.
00:29:27Every time I return,
00:29:29she still won't see me.
00:29:32Fifteen years.
00:29:33Fifteen years
00:29:34since I've laid eyes on her.
00:29:35Does she really despise me that much?
00:29:37Why do you think
00:29:38she treats you
00:29:39with such coldness?
00:29:42Because of what I did.
00:29:44She hates me.
00:29:45When I was a boy,
00:29:47I almost died.
00:29:49My sister came for me.
00:29:51And the iron drove
00:29:52through her right arm
00:29:52in my place.
00:29:53She was never the same again.
00:29:59She was a master healer.
00:30:00Those gifted hands.
00:30:02She could bring
00:30:03the dying back to life.
00:30:04But because of me,
00:30:05the scar on her arm
00:30:06never faded.
00:30:07And she was taken
00:30:08from me forever.
00:30:09She became a completely
00:30:11different person after that.
00:30:12The Hartman Shard
00:30:13was hers by birthright.
00:30:15With its power,
00:30:16she became the greatest
00:30:17healer in the kingdom.
00:30:19And then they sent her
00:30:20far away,
00:30:20to a quiet abbey
00:30:21where she could
00:30:22practice in peace.
00:30:23But I know the truth.
00:30:26That day
00:30:27became a thorn
00:30:28in her heart.
00:30:29One that will never
00:30:30be pulled out.
00:30:31Every time she looks at me,
00:30:32she remembers
00:30:33what saving me
00:30:34cost her.
00:30:35Everything is bound
00:30:36by consequence,
00:30:37Commander.
00:30:38You see only the branches
00:30:39above the soil,
00:30:40but you are blind
00:30:41to the roots below.
00:30:43What is that supposed
00:30:44to mean?
00:30:44you will know
00:30:46soon enough.
00:30:51My knees are hurting.
00:30:52I'll fetch the salve.
00:30:55Cedric just got back
00:30:56and he's already
00:30:57screaming at me
00:30:58because of her!
00:30:59She's an honoured guest.
00:31:01Even Lord Ashworth
00:31:02had to apologise to her.
00:31:03Master Cedric
00:31:04serves her.
00:31:05People are whispering.
00:31:07She might be
00:31:08his future bride.
00:31:09His future bride?
00:31:11Look at her.
00:31:12She's a freak.
00:31:13With that filthy
00:31:14black rags.
00:31:16She doesn't deserve
00:31:17Cedric.
00:31:21Crone.
00:31:22What is that?
00:31:24Honey cakes.
00:31:25Master Cedric's favourite.
00:31:27And imperial spiced wine
00:31:29for Lady Morgana.
00:31:31Halt!
00:31:33Imperial spiced wine?
00:31:35A gift from
00:31:36the emperor himself.
00:31:37It's worth a fortune.
00:31:39You really know
00:31:39how to grovel.
00:31:41Give it here.
00:31:45Healers always
00:31:45keep the best poisons.
00:31:47This widow's kiss
00:31:49is lethal.
00:31:51No taste,
00:31:52no cure.
00:31:53Drink up, Morgana.
00:31:55Go,
00:31:56take it to her.
00:31:57I cannot,
00:31:58my lady.
00:31:59She is
00:31:59Master Cedric's guest.
00:32:03Know your place.
00:32:05Without
00:32:06Ashfield Charity,
00:32:07a useless old
00:32:08crone
00:32:09would be
00:32:09rotting in the gutter.
00:32:12Pathetic.
00:32:17I am disciplining
00:32:18a servant,
00:32:19since when does
00:32:20a blind freak
00:32:21interfere with
00:32:21Ashfield affairs?
00:32:23If your tongue
00:32:23serves only to
00:32:25offend,
00:32:25then you should
00:32:26not speak at all.
00:32:30Morgana,
00:32:31you little
00:32:32piece of
00:32:33My lady,
00:32:34what is it?
00:32:35My lady,
00:32:35what's wrong?
00:32:36Please,
00:32:36say something.
00:32:37What's doing this?
00:32:39Guards,
00:32:39help us.
00:32:40Get Lord Aldrich,
00:32:41she's choking.
00:32:42She can't breathe.
00:32:43Lord Aldrich,
00:32:44please,
00:32:44hurry.
00:32:45I'm right here.
00:32:46Just breathe.
00:32:47She suddenly
00:32:48lost her voice.
00:32:50Selene is just
00:32:51a foolish girl.
00:32:52She didn't mean
00:32:52to offend you.
00:32:53I will make her
00:32:54apologize to you
00:32:55at once.
00:32:55What are you
00:32:56waiting for?
00:32:56Apologize,
00:32:57now.
00:32:58Are you deaf?
00:32:59Do you want
00:33:00to be mute forever?
00:33:05My lady,
00:33:08I don't want
00:33:09your apology.
00:33:10Kneel to the one
00:33:11you truly wronged.
00:33:13Please,
00:33:13no,
00:33:14I'm nobody.
00:33:15A lady cannot
00:33:15kneel to me.
00:33:17I'm just a servant.
00:33:18Silence.
00:33:19Just be grateful.
00:33:20Every brick
00:33:21in this house
00:33:22rests on the
00:33:23Hartman Shard.
00:33:24She built
00:33:25our legacy.
00:33:27Oracle,
00:33:28I beg you,
00:33:29she's terrified.
00:33:31Let it be enough,
00:33:32please.
00:33:33Have mercy.
00:33:39Your mercy
00:33:40is boundless,
00:33:41my lady.
00:33:42I will discipline
00:33:43the girl at once.
00:33:45Come,
00:33:45my lady.
00:33:46Let us go.
00:33:51Are you hurt?
00:33:52I am fine,
00:33:53my lord.
00:33:55You've grown so thin.
00:33:57The northern winds
00:33:58have been cruel to you.
00:33:59You must stay longer
00:34:01this time.
00:34:02Your name day is soon.
00:34:03I knitted you a pair
00:34:04of thick winter gloves.
00:34:06Let me fetch them for you.
00:34:08Wait right here for me.
00:34:11That old woman.
00:34:13Her devotion to you
00:34:14is genuine.
00:34:15It is.
00:34:17She has been here
00:34:18since I was a boy.
00:34:19Always kind to me.
00:34:21When I was injured
00:34:21as a boy,
00:34:22she sneaked me pouches.
00:34:24And every year
00:34:25on my name day,
00:34:26when my own sister
00:34:27was lost to me,
00:34:28she brought me warm
00:34:29broth and fresh bread.
00:34:32With her,
00:34:33I almost remember
00:34:34what having a sister
00:34:35felt like.
00:34:35If that is true,
00:34:37you should show her
00:34:37more grace while you can.
00:34:39I have seen
00:34:40the shadow on her.
00:34:41She has but a few days left.
00:34:44Do not wait
00:34:45until tomorrow
00:34:46to realize
00:34:47what you have lost.
00:34:52Listen to me, child.
00:34:54Never cross paths
00:34:55with Morgana again.
00:34:56She thinks she owns us.
00:34:58Patience,
00:34:59my sweet girl.
00:35:00I'm securing
00:35:01your future.
00:35:02Play the game.
00:35:04Let her think
00:35:05she's win.
00:35:06Soon,
00:35:07everything will be yours.
00:35:09Lady Morgana,
00:35:10Lady Ashfield
00:35:11has sent me
00:35:12to return the
00:35:13Hartman's Shard
00:35:14to its rightful owner.
00:35:15We have heard
00:35:16when you take back
00:35:18what is yours,
00:35:19you offer a reading
00:35:20in return.
00:35:22Lady Ashworth
00:35:23has written her question
00:35:24right here
00:35:24on this parchment.
00:35:26Take it, Cedric.
00:35:32I will not answer
00:35:34this question
00:35:34because the Hartman's Shard
00:35:36is a fake.
00:35:38What?
00:35:40A fake!
00:35:41Someone must have switched it
00:35:43when she wasn't looking.
00:35:44I'll get to the bottom of this.
00:35:46tonight.
00:35:47Don't.
00:35:48What is mine
00:35:49will always return
00:35:52to my hands.
00:35:53Lady Morgana,
00:35:54Commander Ashford.
00:35:58The Emperor begs your aid.
00:36:00The Empress door wager
00:36:01is dying.
00:36:02The Royal Physicians
00:36:03can do nothing for her.
00:36:04His Majesty
00:36:04demands you come at once.
00:36:06Please, my lady,
00:36:07you are her only hope.
00:36:12Lead the way.
00:36:15Useless fools!
00:36:16What good are you
00:36:17if she dies?
00:36:18Your Majesty,
00:36:20Lady Morgana
00:36:21has arrived.
00:36:25Morgana,
00:36:26thank the gods
00:36:26you have come.
00:36:27Please,
00:36:28you must help her.
00:36:29Mother is...
00:36:30Her flame has burned out.
00:36:31Her time is over.
00:36:34Prepare the crypt.
00:36:35Lies!
00:36:35That is a lie!
00:36:36Your Majesty,
00:36:40I can save the Empress.
00:36:44Morgana,
00:36:45if you can't save her,
00:36:47stop making pathetic excuses.
00:36:49I say,
00:36:50you have no real power.
00:36:52You're nothing but
00:36:53a fraudulent witch.
00:36:54Selina!
00:36:55This is a royal chamber,
00:36:56not your playground!
00:36:57Your Grace,
00:36:58I can heal her.
00:36:59On my life,
00:37:01Selina Frost.
00:37:02You should know.
00:37:03Cedric knows it well.
00:37:05My prophecies
00:37:06are never wrong.
00:37:07Care to make a wager, then?
00:37:09On what?
00:37:10If I win,
00:37:11I want the Emperor
00:37:12to decree my marriage
00:37:14to Cedric.
00:37:15And I want your head
00:37:17severed from your neck.
00:37:18Your Grace.
00:37:19Madness.
00:37:20This is absolute madness.
00:37:22Gods!
00:37:23Drag this madwoman away!
00:37:25I accept.
00:37:30Very well.
00:37:32Give it a try.
00:37:34If you truly cure my mother,
00:37:36I will grant your every wish.
00:37:45So you stole
00:37:46the Hartmann's schnaz.
00:37:47Cedric.
00:37:49I'll be a master healer,
00:37:51just like your sister.
00:37:52Then you'll finally see
00:37:54I'm the only one for you.
00:37:57Forcing fate
00:37:58only brings ruin.
00:38:00If you insist on this path,
00:38:02you alone will choke
00:38:04on the ashes.
00:38:06Save your cheap parlor tricks.
00:38:09Healing the sick is God's work.
00:38:10There's no price for that.
00:38:13By the old blood,
00:38:14I command the vessel.
00:38:16Take the living spark.
00:38:19Feed the dying flame.
00:38:22Awaken.
00:38:26Wake up!
00:38:31Wake!
00:38:35Wake up!
00:38:42What's happening?
00:38:43It burns!
00:38:45It burns!
00:38:46It burns!
00:38:47It burns!
00:38:48Oh God!
00:38:49Ah!
00:38:51Ah!
00:38:52Ah!
00:38:53Water!
00:38:54Please!
00:39:00Mother!
00:39:02Mother!
00:39:03Wake up!
00:39:06My face!
00:39:08No!
00:39:10How did this happen?
00:39:11Oh!
00:39:13You stole my magic,
00:39:15but you never asked
00:39:16when the spell steals
00:39:18a living spark,
00:39:19whose spark
00:39:20does it take?
00:39:24Move along.
00:39:25Get out.
00:39:26Move!
00:39:27Before I drag you out!
00:39:29Know who stands before you.
00:39:32My lord,
00:39:32I did not know.
00:39:34Maren.
00:39:35My lord,
00:39:36you're mistaken.
00:39:37She's not Maren.
00:39:38She's just an old crone.
00:39:40Nothing more.
00:39:41My lord!
00:39:41Get out.
00:39:42Yes, my lord.
00:39:48My lord,
00:39:49I'm nobody.
00:39:50Just an old crone.
00:39:52Nobody of importance.
00:39:54Just a servant.
00:39:55This is the inner sanctum.
00:39:57Only the bloodline,
00:39:58only the Hartman's
00:39:59shard bearer
00:40:00can come here.
00:40:03Let me see you.
00:40:12That scar.
00:40:15Where did this scar come from?
00:40:17Only Maren bore this mark.
00:40:21Maren?
00:40:24Why didn't you tell me?
00:40:29Who's life did you think
00:40:31you were spending?
00:40:32The Ashworth Empire
00:40:33isn't built on medicine.
00:40:34It's built on a parasite.
00:40:37It trades your years
00:40:38for theirs.
00:40:40A simple fever
00:40:41costs you a month.
00:40:43A fatal wound
00:40:45strips the youth
00:40:46right off your bones.
00:40:49Sick Empress was already dead.
00:40:51Her time was up.
00:40:53Give her every hour
00:40:54you have left.
00:40:55It won't buy her
00:40:56a single day.
00:40:58Then what about Maren?
00:41:00Explain Maren!
00:41:01She bore the shard
00:41:02for thirty years.
00:41:03Pulled thousands
00:41:04from the grave.
00:41:05Then she should be dust!
00:41:07She should be
00:41:08a rotting corpse!
00:41:09Why is she flawless?
00:41:11Why not her?
00:41:13Look at me!
00:41:14It took everything!
00:41:15My skin!
00:41:17My skin!
00:41:17My life!
00:41:18Why just me?
00:41:19You said she was perfect.
00:41:22Cedric.
00:41:23You believed she hid
00:41:24from you for ten years.
00:41:26It never crossed your mind
00:41:27that the woman she became
00:41:29was standing right
00:41:30in front of you.
00:41:32And you looked
00:41:33right through her.
00:41:35Stop.
00:41:36What does that mean?
00:41:38You're a commander.
00:41:39Open your eyes.
00:41:41Every year on your birthday
00:41:42that old servant
00:41:44the only one
00:41:44who still cooks for you
00:41:46Who is she, Cedric?
00:41:51Lord Cedric, wait!
00:41:52You can't go in!
00:41:53My lord!
00:41:54She said no visitors!
00:41:55My lord!
00:42:02Maren.
00:42:04Gods.
00:42:05It's really you.
00:42:09Why?
00:42:10All these years
00:42:11why didn't you tell me?
00:42:13Every time I used
00:42:15the shard
00:42:16it stole a year
00:42:17of my life
00:42:18burned away.
00:42:19Then one morning
00:42:21I looked in the glass
00:42:22white hair
00:42:23hands shaking
00:42:24like a crone.
00:42:26Maren!
00:42:26Let me in!
00:42:27My lord, no!
00:42:29Get off!
00:42:30I want my sister!
00:42:32Let me go!
00:42:33Maren!
00:42:34I couldn't let you
00:42:36see a monster.
00:42:37No.
00:42:38Stop it.
00:42:39Don't ever say that.
00:42:41Look at me.
00:42:42You are Maren.
00:42:43The bravest person
00:42:45I know.
00:42:45But I abandoned you.
00:42:47You gave me
00:42:48your entire life
00:42:49and I was blind.
00:42:51I didn't see
00:42:52my own sister.
00:42:53I'm sorry.
00:42:54Oh, my brave
00:42:56little brother.
00:42:57It's all right now.
00:43:02I'm sorry.
00:43:06Cedric,
00:43:07tomorrow is
00:43:07your name day.
00:43:08I haven't made
00:43:09your broth yet.
00:43:11Maren, please.
00:43:12Just rest.
00:43:13You made it for me
00:43:14every year.
00:43:15My whole life.
00:43:17Tomorrow,
00:43:18I'll make it for you.
00:43:24This is my fault.
00:43:25I looked right at her
00:43:26and saw nothing.
00:43:28She hid her hands,
00:43:29traded her life away
00:43:30and I just stood there.
00:43:32He used the
00:43:33Heartmen's shard
00:43:33to drain her
00:43:34year by year
00:43:35while I watched
00:43:35and called it nothing.
00:43:37She made a choice.
00:43:38The shard needed a vessel.
00:43:40She offered herself.
00:43:42She healed them.
00:43:44She gave them time.
00:43:46She gave you time.
00:43:47That was all
00:43:47she ever wanted.
00:43:49I looked right past
00:43:50her for years.
00:43:52Thank you
00:43:53for stripping away
00:43:54every excuse I had.
00:43:56I have her back.
00:43:57Whatever it cost you,
00:43:59I swear on my blade
00:44:00I will repay that debt.
00:44:01She hasn't eaten in days.
00:44:03I made this for her.
00:44:04I don't know if she'll want it
00:44:05but I need to give her something.
00:44:06I'm going to take it to her now.
00:44:08Wait.
00:44:09Something wrong?
00:44:12It's nothing.
00:44:14Go to her.
00:44:14I won't be long.
00:44:16I won't be long.
00:44:25Maren!
00:44:26Maren, wake up!
00:44:28No, no, please!
00:44:30Maren!
00:44:30The scale always balances.
00:44:36Get away from me!
00:44:38Don't touch me!
00:44:40I want my sister!
00:44:43Get away!
00:44:45Where is she?
00:44:49I want my sister!
00:44:52Cedric.
00:44:54I'm here.
00:44:55Look at me.
00:44:56Don't touch me!
00:44:58You old witch!
00:45:02She's dead, isn't she?
00:45:04She left me.
00:45:06Everyone always leaves.
00:45:08But I'm staying.
00:45:10To a legion.
00:45:12I'm not going anywhere.
00:45:15I'm here.
00:45:16Right here.
00:45:18I've got you.
00:45:23Lord Ashworth.
00:45:25She saved my family.
00:45:27She saved so many.
00:45:28We had to come.
00:45:30Everyone knew how much she meant to you, my lord.
00:45:32Her loss leaves a wound in all of us.
00:45:35She gave everything.
00:45:37Healed strangers.
00:45:39Never once asked for anything in return.
00:45:42Even when it broke her.
00:45:44Even when it cost her.
00:45:46Her life.
00:45:48I watched her disappear.
00:45:51Day by day.
00:45:53If the gods would take me instead, I'd go willingly.
00:45:56And yet you stood there.
00:45:58Every scar on her body, every year taken from her.
00:46:03His hands did that.
00:46:04All of it.
00:46:06Every shriveled vein on Maren's hands.
00:46:09Every year carved from her face.
00:46:11He arranged all of it.
00:46:13Her life meant nothing to him.
00:46:16He only cared about the gold.
00:46:18The price her dying breath could buy.
00:46:20Oracle, please.
00:46:22Everyone here knows the Ashworth name.
00:46:25We heal the sick.
00:46:26We never ask for coin.
00:46:28We serve the people.
00:46:29You cannot just walk in here and spread lies about my family.
00:46:35If you took no coin, then tell me what you've been hiding in the dark.
00:46:40Every transaction.
00:46:42Every name.
00:46:42Every debt you buried.
00:47:00These are property deeds.
00:47:01Hundreds of them.
00:47:02The Ashworth fled the Highlords dry in secret.
00:47:05They traded healing for mansions.
00:47:07For land.
00:47:08We thought you were a saint, Aldric.
00:47:11You're nothing but a leech.
00:47:12A parasite.
00:47:13You stole my sister's life.
00:47:15You drained Maren dry to build your filthy empire and left her to rot in the dirt.
00:47:21She gave everything and you ground her bones into your crown.
00:47:25That is not the whole of his sin.
00:47:27When Maren's face withered from what he forced on her, he turned away from her.
00:47:32He took a lover in secret.
00:47:35A secret mistress.
00:47:37A hidden life.
00:47:38There is no one.
00:47:40You are lying.
00:47:41The child you had with her has been living under this very roof.
00:47:44You call her your ward.
00:47:46You let her do as she pleases.
00:47:48Do you deny that Selene is your blood?
00:47:53You gave Selene full run of this house.
00:47:56Is she your bastard?
00:47:57Is that why you let her destroy my sister?
00:48:00Oracle.
00:48:02I have always bowed to your vision.
00:48:05You cannot lay this at my feet.
00:48:07I am innocent if there was money missing from the patients.
00:48:11Maren did it herself.
00:48:12Plain greed.
00:48:14She used the sick to line her own pockets.
00:48:23Look out!
00:48:24Get back!
00:48:26That's gold.
00:48:28He hid it in the tablet.
00:48:32The heavens don't care for your lies.
00:48:35But I do.
00:48:36You built a dynasty on stolen breath.
00:48:40You are no heir to what I left here.
00:48:42You are a parasite.
00:48:46My sister is dead.
00:48:49She died a ruined servant under your roof.
00:48:52And you dare stand over her coffin and call her a thief!
00:48:56I will cut you apart right here.
00:48:58Cedric, be reasonable.
00:49:00Look at what she had become.
00:49:01Who could look at that face and not be sickened?
00:49:04You are no blood of mine.
00:49:06You are nothing to me.
00:49:08Is this my fault?
00:49:09I would have taken the burden on myself.
00:49:11I swear it!
00:49:12But the healer's grace, it binds only to the women.
00:49:15It rejected me.
00:49:16It was never my choice.
00:49:18We kept her fed.
00:49:19Kept a roof over her head.
00:49:21She owed this family her service.
00:49:23It was her duty to plead for us!
00:49:26A lie.
00:49:27I forged the healer's grace.
00:49:29I wrote its laws.
00:49:30It does not choose by blood or gender.
00:49:33It chooses by the will to sacrifice.
00:49:35It rejected you because it looked inside your chest and found nothing at all.
00:49:41You let a child wither in your place and called it fate.
00:49:45You said you wished to carry the burden.
00:49:47You wanted the ember's power for yourself.
00:49:50You wanted it all.
00:49:53Very well.
00:49:57Let us see how much of it you can bear.
00:50:05Very well.
00:50:31No!
00:50:32Get off me!
00:50:34I am the lord of this!
00:50:37No!
00:50:39No!
00:50:52Every year he stole from Marin, they just ripped it back.
00:51:15Marin! Can you hear me? Look at me. You, you came back.
00:51:28Remember your oath.
00:51:42The Hartman Shard. It's time it returned to you. You took another piece of your power straight into yourself. Will
00:51:50you absorb this one too?
00:52:22Please help us. Have mercy.
00:52:29You're breathing. I watched you stop. I thought you were gone.
00:52:33You're shaking. Your birthday is soon. I still owe you bread and broth.
00:52:40I'll make it myself. Just don't close your eyes again. Promise me that.
00:52:45Her face still carries what the years cost her. But the thirty years Aldric took from her have been stripped
00:52:51from his bones.
00:52:52They're hers now. Her hand is healed. The debt is paid. She will never serve in the dark again.
00:52:59She lives. The transaction is complete.
00:53:07Oracle. You didn't owe us this. I will carry this mercy until my last breath.
00:53:17You gave my sister back her life. My life is no longer my own. It belongs to you. Every breath
00:53:24I draw belongs to your cause.
00:53:26I am your shield. Your blade. Point me at your enemies. Wherever you walk, I walk with you. Until my
00:53:33blood runs cold.
00:53:38Talk to me. Did the exorcism drain you? Are you hurt?
00:53:43I am not hurt. When I pulled the heartman's shard from your sister, I absorbed thirty years of her memories.
00:53:49Every single day she spent trapped in that house.
00:53:53There's an echo now. A pressure in my chest.
00:53:56You have a rule. You reclaim a piece of your power. You owe the bloodline one truth. One ember. One
00:54:03question.
00:54:04Maren gave her whole youth to keep me alive. She never got to ask her question.
00:54:10Maren.
00:54:11So I'll ask it for her. Look into your prophecy, Morgana. Did my sister's sacrifice mean anything? Tell me.
00:54:20Your sister asked what waits for you in the north. I didn't lie to her. So I'll tell you exactly
00:54:25what I saw.
00:54:26There is a line drawn across your fate. A terminal point. If you follow me to Ironwall, if you walk
00:54:34into Ravencrest at my side, you will stand before someone and bleed until there is nothing left.
00:54:39And you will die. That is the end of it.
00:54:42In front of who? Who do I bleed for?
00:54:45Me. Knowing this. Knowing that every step north is a step towards your own grave.
00:54:53And you still want to come with me. Forget it. It doesn't matter.
00:55:00You are ordered to stay behind. I walk into Ironwall alone. I don't need a shield.
00:55:06I swore an oath to you. I stand between you and whatever comes. I'm going.
00:55:17I told you how this ends. Are you not afraid?
00:55:22I lead the Obsidian Guard. I have walked into the dark more times than I can count.
00:55:28Every time they said I wouldn't walk out. Every time they said the odds were broken.
00:55:35And I am still standing here. Let them come. I will survive it. And I will walk you out of
00:55:40Ironwall myself.
00:55:44You must think I'm completely useless with a blade. I've been sickly since childhood.
00:55:49My sister-in-law handles the killing. She lets me read instead. I apologize for the gate.
00:55:55It's just... Lately. The moment the sun sets, the dead walk. Vesta fears the undead soldiers.
00:56:00Breaching the walls. Slaughtering our people. Please forgive the locked gates, my lady.
00:56:05These undead outside your walls. What is their origin?
00:56:09We don't know. Not since my grandfather fell. They don't discern friend from foe. They just butcher.
00:56:14For six months, we've been trapped here. Powerless.
00:56:17Thorn was injured?
00:56:19Yes.
00:56:20Ambushed by the dead weeks ago. He hasn't woken since.
00:56:25Take me to him.
00:56:27Of course.
00:56:28Finn!
00:56:35You dare test me, boy? Who authorized you to breach the protocol?
00:56:40Who gave you leave to welcome stray vagras into my fortress?
00:56:44Do Frost Stokes' laws mean nothing to you?
00:56:47Vesper, wait. This is Lady Morgana.
00:56:49Grandfather foresaw this. He said a woman named Morgana would come for the Shard.
00:56:53We must show her absolute respect.
00:56:56The Patriarch is dying. He needs silence, not scavengers chasing fairy tales.
00:57:00Commander Vesper. Even the Emperor bows to Lady Morgana.
00:57:05I suggest you mind your tone before I cut out your tongue.
00:57:09Damn your southern king. Here, we follow north laws.
00:57:14Your laws. Tell me. What does the north demand?
00:57:20You want to see him? Bleed for it. Best me in combat. Win, and you get your audience.
00:57:26And your precious shard. Lose, and you crawl back south. Frostbite does not serve the weak.
00:57:33I'll gladly test your iron, Commander.
00:57:36Good. A real man. Bring me my steel.
00:57:49Hold the gate. I am Cedric Ashworth, Commander of the Obsidian Guards. Hold the gates.
00:57:55Guards.
00:57:55They're here. Fall back. Bar the gates.
00:58:12Ring of steel. Protect Morgana.
00:58:22Ash to ash. Darkness breaks. Gone.
00:58:35Ash to ash. Darkness breaks. Gone.
00:58:46This malice. I know it. She broke them. Who goes there?
00:58:51Morgana. Lady Morgana.
00:58:55Forgive me. My grandfather speaks of you often.
00:58:59And you are? Finn Ravenkest, my lady. Grandson to Patriarch Thorn.
00:59:04Morgana. Smile for me. You look best when you smile.
00:59:10Foolish.
00:59:19Morgana. My sister-in-law is a monster on the battlefield.
00:59:23She holds the true bloodline. No one beats her.
00:59:27Is this it, then? The day you foreseen I would die?
00:59:39Not so sorry.
00:59:50He's hurt!
00:59:51He will not die.
00:59:56Playing with time!
01:00:14Well fought. Your form is decent, but you fight like you fear death, always leaving room
01:00:21to retreat. Remember, a real enemy won't give you quarter.
01:00:26The only way to outlive them is to care less about dying.
01:00:30Mother! Mother!
01:00:36There's my little bird.
01:00:38You promised me we'd practice archery today.
01:00:41I know. Go grab your bow, I'm coming.
01:00:44Okay.
01:00:48When you have something you can't leave behind, then teach me to fight.
01:00:53Tomorrow I will grant you an audience with a patriarch.
01:00:58You see, I am still breathing.
01:01:01If you had truly defied my vision, now that would be interesting.
01:01:10Two years ago, at the Bloodwater Siege, Vesta's husband begged the Emperor for reinforcements.
01:01:16But the Royal Court was busy preparing the Emperor's Jubilee.
01:01:19The army never marched. Her husband died in the mud, left her and the child alone.
01:01:25Vesta has every reason to hate the crown.
01:01:27She struck a deal with the enemy.
01:01:30You are wrong.
01:01:33You said we were seeing the Patriarch. Why bring us to a crypt?
01:01:36Whatever you see in there, hold your nerve.
01:01:39My grandfather rests inside. Please, this way.
01:02:02My lady, the North is freezing. I brought you these heavy furs.
01:02:06Your concern is noted, boy. But she has no need for such common scraps.
01:02:12These are royal pelts from...
01:02:18Gods. What in the world is this?
01:02:21It's so soft. It doesn't even feel like wool. It feels like water.
01:02:26These deep red shapes here. What kind of flower is this?
01:02:30A rose. The sovereign of flowers.
01:02:33A rose. It's beautiful. I can't even imagine it.
01:02:37So this is what the South grows.
01:02:40Here in Frostspike, the winter never ends.
01:02:42The ground is iron. Nothing this fragile could ever survive the frost.
01:02:47If it pleases you, boy, help us reclaim the shard from your king.
01:02:51And this mantle is yours to keep.
01:02:55Truly? You swear on your honor?
01:02:58On my blood.
01:03:00Done. I'll get ready.
01:03:05You barter with the boy because you are certain that Vesta will not surrender the shard.
01:03:14Is this?
01:03:16It is Thorn.
01:03:17Yes.
01:03:18Since the ambush six months ago, this crust began to form.
01:03:22It started around his wounds.
01:03:24Then it spread.
01:03:26Swallowing him whole.
01:03:27How many healers have you called?
01:03:29All of them.
01:03:30None could break it.
01:03:32None.
01:03:34None.
01:03:39None.
01:03:47This isn't a sickness, is it?
01:03:50It is his own madness.
01:03:52His madness?
01:03:53Thorn's natural life ended in the snow six months ago.
01:04:00But his fury anchored him here.
01:04:04He refuses to pass on.
01:04:06And the shard buried within him gave his wrath a physical form, spawning the dead that batter your gates.
01:04:13While this stone shell devours his remaining soul.
01:04:17The undead?
01:04:19They came from my grandfather's own mind?
01:04:23What kind of nightmare could be powerful enough to breed an entire army of corpses?
01:04:33What is happening?
01:04:38The dead are marching in daylight.
01:04:42I'll hold the line.
01:04:44Gather the men.
01:04:46My lady, I'm begging you.
01:04:47Save Frostbike.
01:04:48Take the shard back.
01:04:50It's right there in his chest.
01:04:51Please, just take it.
01:04:53I beg you.
01:04:55Yes.
01:04:56But the shard must be freely given.
01:04:59Even I cannot carve it out by force.
01:05:02I will pull Thorn back from the dark.
01:05:04Do not let them interrupt me.
01:05:06This pennant will hold the dead.
01:05:08Plant it beyond the gates.
01:05:09It will buy me time.
01:05:12If the ward fails.
01:05:13If the dead breach the line.
01:05:16Or if you are overrun.
01:05:18Do not die for me.
01:05:20Leave.
01:05:21My orders stand.
01:05:23You are my charge.
01:05:26I do not break the line.
01:05:42I remember a boy.
01:05:44One who chased my shadow.
01:05:46Always begging for stories.
01:05:49Now.
01:05:50Reduced to stone.
01:05:55Veil lift.
01:05:57Veil lift.
01:05:58Flesh bind.
01:05:59Awaken.
01:06:02Thorn.
01:06:05Ashworth!
01:06:06Her magic broke.
01:06:07She's bleeding.
01:06:32Finn, what are you doing?
01:06:34I'm done pretending, Commander.
01:06:37Did you honestly think Vesper was the one who crippled my grandfather?
01:06:40It was me who left the gate wide open.
01:06:43So, you're the rat.
01:06:46They butchered your parents.
01:06:47Slaughtered your own brothers.
01:06:48They bled Frostbear dry.
01:06:50And you sold us out to the monsters?
01:06:54Sold us out?
01:06:55Monsters?
01:06:56Better than being the crown's lapdog.
01:06:58Why should we bleed for them?
01:07:00Our ancestors all followed Morgana.
01:07:02We were equals once.
01:07:03But because they got different shards, some get to rule the capital.
01:07:06Some get the gold.
01:07:07And what did the rain creeps get?
01:07:08Three generations rotting in this frozen wasteland.
01:07:11Bleeding out in the ice.
01:07:13Just another name on a tombstone.
01:07:15Waiting to be wiped out.
01:07:17I won't let it end like this.
01:07:19I'm going to tear Frostfire down.
01:07:22Break the chains they put on us.
01:07:25I saw Morgana use this.
01:07:28It commands the dead.
01:07:30I hold the power now.
01:07:36Isn't that right?
01:07:39Run!
01:08:08Yes.
01:08:11I remember the vow.
01:08:13I gave you my word.
01:08:16To hold this fortress.
01:08:18To bleed for the innocent.
01:08:21But the dead are here.
01:08:24The wolves are at the gates.
01:08:26I dare not leave.
01:08:29Enough, Thorn.
01:08:30You have bled enough.
01:08:33Your bloodline.
01:08:36Your men.
01:08:38You have bled enough.
01:09:12Let the obsession die.
01:09:16You must go.
01:09:19Whatever my sister commands,
01:09:22Thorn will always obey.
01:09:26But before I return the shard,
01:09:30Morgana,
01:09:31may I ask you one question?
01:09:40plane wings.
01:09:46At last you!
01:09:54It was the last time if I realised its story is editing.
01:09:55If I had done anything at all,
01:10:02I knew that was good.
01:10:02I ended up losing the treasure.
01:10:03Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
01:10:35Sis, you came.
01:10:39Sister, I... what is happening to me? Where are we?
01:10:43Your mortal life is ended, but your obsession anchored you here.
01:10:49Your soul was twisted by inner demons and the Shard.
01:10:53You are nothing but a lingering phantom now.
01:11:09What did you want to ask?
01:11:13All these years, alone in the dark.
01:11:20Were you all right, Morgana?
01:11:36You won't touch her!
01:11:40I was fine.
01:11:46That is good.
01:11:52Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:12:25Witch.
01:12:38So, this is the death you saw for me.
01:12:43You are never wrong.
01:12:46Morgana, it seems I won't be here to help you take back what is yours.
01:13:10I make no grand claims, but I swear I will help you take it all back.
01:13:33Monster.
01:13:35Monster.
01:13:35Monster, you godless monster!
01:13:38Monster.
01:13:41Monster.
01:13:42Monster.
01:13:43Monster.
01:13:51Monster.
01:13:52Monster.
01:13:58Monster.
01:13:59Monster.
01:13:59Monster.
01:13:59Monster.
01:13:59Monster.
01:13:59Monster.
01:14:03Monster.
01:14:07Monster.
01:14:08never sent reinforcements. He bled out in the snow. And ever since then, I haven't seen
01:14:15you smile. Not truly. I was so close. Just a little more. And I could have taken you
01:14:25away from this prison. You foolish boy. Frostfire is now prison. Look at the people behind
01:14:36these walls. The thousands we pulled from the slaughter. The soldiers I trained with
01:14:40my own hands. Every block of black stone, every frozen inch of the north, holds my blood. Nothing
01:14:48has ever trapped me. This is the line I chose to hold. Frostfire is my home, Finn. And I
01:14:55will defend it until I break.
01:15:00I thought... I thought you hated the crown.
01:15:05I only wanted to break your chains.
01:15:12I do hate the crown. But I love the north. I love our people. I am holding this line
01:15:19for your brother. So the children hear. So my own daughter can sleep without fear of the
01:15:24slaughter.
01:15:25So it was just me. I was the only one who couldn't let go.
01:15:30No. Take me away.
01:15:35I will. I'll take you south.
01:15:38I want to sleep beneath the roses.
01:15:47Sixty years ago, to buy this realm a breath of life. I gave my own flesh and soul to the
01:15:55forge. No attachments. No desires. I told you to run. But of course, fate demands its due.
01:16:14Would you still draw your blade for me, knowing it will only lead to your grave?
01:16:19I am going. I've commanded the Vanguard for years. I've faced death more times than I can
01:16:26count. But I have never lost. And I will not lose this time, either.
01:16:47Why the Frost Spire? Why Thorn Ravencrest?
01:16:51My youngest student. Still breathes. I need to see him.
01:16:56And the Ravencrest piece of the crown. What is it, exactly?
01:17:00A drop of my own blood, the Undying Spark.
01:17:03Your blood? No wonder your skin is like ice.
01:17:07Morgana, how did you lose your eyes?
01:17:10Sixty winters ago, the realm was drowning in its own blood.
01:17:15To buy them a dawn. I offered my own flesh and soul. I stripped everything away. Bound it to the
01:17:23obsidian.
01:17:24Twelve fragments. Given to twelve disciples. To save this world. Sixty years have passed.
01:17:32My students took that power. And forged twelve great bloodlines.
01:17:37And now, there is peace. Now I take back what is mine.
01:17:44Morgana, what else are you missing? You never change your boots.
01:17:48I've never seen you eat. Or sleep, for that matter. Your hair turned white.
01:17:53Silence.
01:18:04Morgana, I will help you get it all back. Every last piece. You have my word.
01:18:14No matter what it takes. No matter the cost.
01:18:24That shard of the crown was torn from my own veins.
01:18:30A single drop of my heart's blood.
01:18:34I never thought you would waste such a priceless piece of yourself on me. I never thought I'd even be
01:18:40alive.
01:18:41My lady, you always said your prophecies are absolute. Never wrong.
01:18:45To give me the shard. To force me to live. Isn't this defying the gods themselves?
01:18:50Taking the heart back was a mistake.
01:18:59Morgana.
01:19:00Morgana.
01:19:04Morgana.
01:19:06Morgana.
01:19:08Morgana.
01:19:09Morgana.
01:19:09Morgana.
01:19:10Morgana.
01:19:11Morgana.
01:19:12Morgana.
01:19:13Morgana.
01:19:14Morgana.
01:19:15Morgana.
01:19:16Morgana.
01:19:16Morgana.
01:19:16Morgana.
01:19:23Morgana.
01:19:25My lady, forgive me.
01:19:28Assassins!
01:19:44This... southern blood magic.
01:19:47They say one puppet butchers ten men, and I tore them apart before they could even blink.
01:19:52I feel like I could rip through solid iron.
01:19:54You were bleeding to death.
01:19:56No medicine could save you.
01:19:58So I bound a fraction of my shard to your fading heart.
01:20:01Tethered your life to mine.
01:20:03With my power in your veins, no mortal man can stand against you.
01:20:07You could have run.
01:20:09You chose to stay.
01:20:12You accepted my gift.
01:20:14From now on, you are bound to my will.
01:20:17Are we clear?
01:20:21So I am no better than these husks?
01:20:23I'm just your puppet?
01:20:25Do not compare yourself to such pathetic trash.
01:20:29They are nothing like you.
01:20:33You.
01:20:35You are my masterpiece.
01:20:49Farewell.
01:20:51Be wary.
01:20:52Without the Primordial Crown's shard, the Horde will show no mercy.
01:20:58I know the risks, but I command this gate.
01:21:01Shard or no shard, the Ravencrest will hold this line.
01:21:05To the last breath.
01:21:10The Horde is at our walls.
01:21:12I ride with the Vanguard.
01:21:14Godspeed.
01:21:27Why didn't you tell her about the warding spikes you planted?
01:21:31The wards are nothing, compared to the Primordial blood.
01:21:34Still boiling in their veins.
01:21:37They will survive.
01:21:41What's happening?
01:21:42Are you alright?
01:21:42I feel a disturbance.
01:21:44A forbading sensation.
01:21:46I have looked ahead.
01:21:48I wish I had not.
01:21:49The road before us is dark, Cedric.
01:22:07We must push forward.
01:22:09Wherever you go, I will follow.
01:22:12Where to next?
01:22:14South.
01:22:15To the Scarlet Lands.
01:22:17I want to meet the fool who thought they could kill me.
01:22:22My lady, please.
01:22:24Rest inside.
01:22:25I will bring it to you myself.
01:22:27It is exactly where you left it, my lady.
01:22:30Untouched.
01:22:31You give it up so easily.
01:22:33It was never mine to keep.
01:22:35You know what it built.
01:22:36Your entire dynasty.
01:22:39Hundreds years of power.
01:22:41Titles.
01:22:41The Crown's favor.
01:22:43The gift of seeing into men's hearts.
01:22:45Without it, you are nothing but a blind man stumbling in the dark.
01:22:49The blood covenant my grandfather sworn binds every generation after him.
01:22:54House Alistair owes you everything it has and everything it is.
01:22:58You have my word.
01:23:00I will honor the pact.
01:23:01Willingly.
01:23:04The old man bred well.
01:23:07An obedient heir.
01:23:14Since when does my father kneel for peasants?
01:23:18The iris ember, my lady.
01:23:21A covenant is a trade.
01:23:23I take back what is mine.
01:23:25And I leave you one truth.
01:23:28The old laws demand it.
01:23:30Ask your question.
01:23:32My lady.
01:23:34In a few days, Isabella weds the Crown Prince.
01:23:37I need to...
01:23:39I need to know what waits for her.
01:23:41You want to know if she lives.
01:23:44Without my ember watching over her.
01:23:47What her crown will cost.
01:23:48Yes.
01:23:49Please, tell me her fate.
01:23:52Bring the girl to me.
01:23:55Mother.
01:23:56The night before my royal wedding,
01:23:58some blind woman in funeral rags walks into our home.
01:24:01And father knelt for her.
01:24:04Tell me the truth.
01:24:05Is she one of his lowborn mistresses?
01:24:08Crawling here to beg for coins?
01:24:11If we allow that woman to stand in our halls
01:24:14without putting her on her knees,
01:24:16she will believe she belongs here.
01:24:20And we cannot have that.
01:24:22Then let's remind her
01:24:23how this house treats beggars.
01:24:26When she gets widz aqueles.
01:24:26How next do she showers?
01:24:26Apparently her.
01:24:26I don't Uise.
01:24:29I'm doing my that.
01:24:29What am I doing?
01:24:29Well, I do not know.
