Short filmTranscript
00:00:21Poor child! The fire isn't out yet! Stop!
00:00:26Madam, 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.
00:00:46Do 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.
00:01:39Ten silver coins, at most.
00:01:42Sir, 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.
00:02:48Father, 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?
00:03:06Without shereel, the palace is nothing more than an ornate tomb. I would rather die than abandon my daughter.
00:03:13Then 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.
00:03:49I'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.
00:04:04This 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. We will never be apart.
00:04:28Mother, my departure is the only way for you to live. You have to carry on, please.
00:04:51Your majesty! Please save my mum!
00:04:59As long as you save my mother, I am willing to leave her forever and never take the royal bloodline.
00:05:17This is Datria, one sip, and your past is gone forever.
00:05:23I'm sending you to a remote border town.
00:05:28Never set foot in the capital again.
00:05:54Mum, you have to live on.
00:06:03Lianna.
00:06:07Father, what are you doing here?
00:06:19My child! Shereel! Where are you?
00:06:31Mum, please forgive me for leaving like this. I wanted to stay with you forever.
00:06:38But I couldn't just watch you die. Grandfather promised me to save you, but only if I left.
00:06:45This dress is my final gift. This dress is my final gift. Like the holly on it. I wish you
00:06:50endless life and hope. I will always love you.
00:07:01My child! Shereel! Shereel! Shereel, where are you?
00:07:08My child. Shereel. My child. Where are you?
00:07:18My child. Shereel.
00:07:25Take Princess Laina back to the palace and let the physicians treat her.
00:07:56I've rebuilt this nation and silenced the drums of war.
00:07:59I've rebuilt this nation and silenced the drums of war.
00:08:00Our land is thriving and secure. Yet, one void remains in 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.
00:08:16A duxtish with cities and lands is yours.
00:08:20A duxtish just for a clue.
00:08:21Whoever brings her home safely, you shall be named Hand of the King with absolute power. Second only to me.
00:08:54Eric. I've perfected this holly design and the silk quality. Take it to the Royal Officer.
00:08:58If the Queen likes it, your family will become a royal supplier, and you'll finally get your barony.
00:09:05It's exquisite.
00:09:07Shiryu, you're amazing.
00:09:08The Queen will definitely love it.
00:09:10I'm just an amnesiac orphan.
00:09:12If you hadn't taken me home, I probably would have died long ago.
00:09:15I'm just happy to help you.
00:09:17Don't worry.
00:09:19Once the Queen grants me the title of Baron, I'll marry you immediately and give you a truly warm home.
00:09:24By the way, according to our tradition, getting married requires a dowry of 100 silver coins.
00:09:29How much have you saved up so far?
00:09:31Already over 80 coins.
00:09:33Give me more time.
00:09:34I'll leave all night and sell peace sumps all day.
00:09:37I'll have the 100 soon.
00:09:39Shiryu, you think I care about cold, hard cash?
00:09:43I'm doing this for us.
00:09:45My parents are old-fashioned.
00:09:46They only care about status.
00:09:48Give me the 80 coins.
00:09:50I'll use them to shut them up and prove your worth to me.
00:09:53But...
00:09:53Shhh.
00:09:54Once they agree, at the sacred moment I am named Baron.
00:10:00I will announce to the world that you are my future bride.
00:10:08Eric, I'll go get the coin purse for you right now and then set up my stall.
00:10:14Idiot.
00:10:15Once I am a Baron, we'll be from two different worlds.
00:10:18A factory girl trying to crawl into nobility?
00:10:20Keep dreaming.
00:10:41Any news from the States?
00:10:43Still no trace of Shiryu?
00:10:44Forgive me, your majesty.
00:10:46Not yet.
00:10:47The purchasing has just arrived with premium silk tributes for your review.
00:11:00This fabric...
00:11:19There's no mistake.
00:11:21This holly pattern, this unique stitching.
00:11:23Only my daughter could embroider this.
00:11:26Sarah!
00:11:27Where was this fabric sent from?
00:11:29Sarah!
00:11:30Your 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's her.
00:11:42It must be her.
00:11:42Sarah, prepare a carriage immediately.
00:11:50It's her.
00:11:52It must be her.
00:11:57Sarah, prepare a carriage immediately.
00:12:04And the workshop.
00:12:05They've long craved royal status.
00:12:07As for the holly silk, it was woven by Eric Gray's fiancee.
00:12:13What is her name?
00:12:17Her name is...
00:12:21Shireel.
00:12:23It is her!
00:12:24Your majesty.
00:12:26The 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.
00:12:43Appoint Eric Gray as a royal merchant.
00:12:45And let the local church proceed with his knighting as a baron.
00:12:49Yes, your majesty.
00:12:52Shireel, could it be you?
00:12:54I 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.
00:13:25Madam, would you like some hot pea soup?
00:13:27I cooked it myself.
00:13:29The taste won't disappoint you.
00:13:31It'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.
00:13:38I 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.
00:13:54May the goodbowl-
00:14:19This bracelet, why does it look so familiar?
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.
00:14:55Shirek! Good news!
00:14:56The royal charter arrived.
00:14:59Master Eric was bestowed the title of Baron.
00:15:02Really?
00:15:04Oh my god, that's amazing!
00:15:06The bishop already took Eric to the Grand Cathedral.
00:15:09The nightling's happening right now.
00:15:10His dream finally came true!
00:15:13He 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 Shireel!
00:15:52That's my Shireel!
00:15:53There's no mistake!
00:15:55Only my daughter would add licorice to this soup!
00:15:57Turn around!
00:15:58Go back to that stall!
00:16:00Excuse me!
00:16:14Shireel!
00:16:16Shiree, where are you?
00:16:17My child!
00:16:20Your Majesty, please don't panic.
00:16:28That 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.
00:16:46This time, I will definitely fight her!
00:16:53Oh my god, incredible!
00:16:54Heard the Queen have signed your barren order.
00:16:56Lord Eric, you're noble now. Don't forget us little guys.
00:17:00Honour comes from God and the Queen.
00:17:02I'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.
00:17:15Exactly. Baron 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 is the girl who wove the holly silk?
00:17:34Where is 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.
00:18:13Eric 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!
00:18:23Lordy Eric!
00:18:24Lordy 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 is my soulmate.
00:18:39At this sacred moment, I wish to announce my future bride to everyone!
00:18:45It has to be Cheryl.
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 Shirk, that's a real blessing for the Grey family.
00:18:55I will spend my whole life loving her!
00:18:59She is the daughter of Count Grove, Lady Bella!
00:19:37Siria!
00:19:48Everyone, I owe this honour 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.
00:20:04I don't understand.
00:20:06I stayed up through the bitter cold, pouring my soul into those designs.
00:20:10Every stitch, my blood.
00:20:13Every tribute, my life.
00:20:15And you?
00:20:17In three days, I will hold a grand wedding with Lady Bella.
00:20:23Bella is Count Groves' princess.
00:20:25Now that Eric's a baron, they're a perfect match.
00:20:27Sure, it's just a weaver.
00:20:29A commoner and a noble worlds apart.
00:20:32She never stood a chance.
00:20:34Impossible.
00:20:36Eric swore to me.
00:20:37He's not the kind of hypocritical scumbag who clings to power.
00:20:42But you're a bastard who doesn't even know who your mother is,
00:20:46and you delusionally think you can cling to my noble son.
00:20:49No money.
00:20:50No power.
00:20:51What gives you the right to step from a baron's house?
00:20:54Listen here, you little nobody.
00:20:55If you dare rock Eric's wedding to a Count's daughter, I will have your legs broken.
00:21:00We're nobility now, shielded by the crown.
00:21:03Crushing 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.
00:21:12Don'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.
00:21:22I just want your answer.
00:21:30Marry you?
00:21:32What kind of lowly bitch do you think you are?
00:21:39No money.
00:21:40No power.
00:21:41No family name.
00:21:43You're a nobody.
00:21:43No different from a stray dog begging in the gutter.
00:21:49Don't mind her, my lady.
00:21:50She's a mere peasant worker who's obsessed with me.
00:21:53No matter how many times I push her away,
00:21:55she keeps throwing herself at me.
00:21:57Low breeding.
00:21:58She has no concept of dignity.
00:22:00Shiriel, in our workshop,
00:22:02you are nothing but a dumb ox
00:22:04grinding the mill for free.
00:22:07Tell me, folks,
00:22:09what self-respecting gentleman
00:22:11would marry livestock?
00:22:17Blood is destiny,
00:22:19and yours is worthless.
00:22:22Nobles belong with nobles.
00:22:24Peasants belong in the dirt.
00:22:25Go back to the workshop where you belong.
00:22:28Do your work,
00:22:29and maybe we'll feed you our table scraps.
00:22:32Your Majesty,
00:22:33go rush the royal shamans yourself.
00:22:35Bring the results to me immediately.
00:22:37Yes, Your Majesty.
00:22:51So all those sleepless nights I gave you,
00:22:53every drop of soul I poured into you,
00:22:56couldn't measure up to a noble bloodline?
00:22:59What you did,
00:23:00I 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
00:23:12to throw a tantrum in a sacred cathedral
00:23:14over my man?
00:23:16You'd better think twice
00:23:17about whether your cheap little life
00:23:19is worth crossing me,
00:23:21the daughter of Count Grove.
00:23:24Without me,
00:23:25he'd never even be standing
00:23:26on this platform today.
00:23:28His glory was earned stitch by stitch,
00:23:31by my hands.
00:23:33Without me,
00:23:34he is nothing.
00:23:46How dare you,
00:23:47you lowlife.
00:23:48Yell at my fiancés in the house of God.
00:23:57Sarah, why aren't you back yet?
00:24:04Sarah, why aren't you back yet?
00:24:16I'm a baron of the realm.
00:24:18You'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.
00:24:38She's probably the love child
00:24:39of some drunk in a back alley hooker.
00:24:42I wouldn't want a vow-breaking snake
00:24:43like you anyway.
00:24:45Eric,
00:24:45I 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 me back that holly silk!
00:24:59Why isn't she back yet?
00:25:01I own the workshop.
00:25:03You're just a worker.
00:25:04How dare a servant demand things from her boss!
00:25:08You're an orphan with no one.
00:25:10The fact that I fed you at all was charity.
00:25:12Don't push your luck!
00:25:22Are you this desperate
00:25:23because you want to crawl into his bed?
00:25:27Kneel and beg me now.
00:25:30Once I get pregnant,
00:25:31maybe I'll let you stick around
00:25:32to warm my husband up.
00:25:34You are shameless!
00:25:36Eric,
00:25:37this peasant dared to hurt me!
00:25:39You must punish her severely!
00:25:41Guards!
00:25:42Caesar!
00:25:49What are you doing?
00:25:52What are you doing?
00:25:54I am punishing you
00:25:56for your blatant insolence!
00:25:58How dare a peasant
00:25:58disrespect a noble!
00:26:00Eric!
00:26:01You break your promises!
00:26:03Shame on you!
00:26:04If the queen knew
00:26:05you were this kind of person,
00:26:07she would definitely punish you!
00:26:08The queen?
00:26:09The queen is in the capital.
00:26:11She has no time to care
00:26:11if a lowly commoner lives or dies.
00:26:14Eric,
00:26:15this bitch has derailed
00:26:16our wedding enough.
00:26:17She even laid hands on me.
00:26:18Choose now.
00:26:19Kill her and prove your loyalty to me.
00:26:20or let her walk
00:26:21and our engagement is void.
00:26:23You know what to do.
00:26:27Sharia,
00:26:28you asked for this.
00:26:30Go to hell!
00:26:38The shaman's divination results are out.
00:26:40Sharia is your daughter!
00:26:41Die!
00:26:45Die!
00:26:50Die!
00:26:58Die!
00:27:01Die!
00:27:19Who dares to hurt my daughter?
00:27:29Who is she?
00:27:31How does she dare attack the Baron?
00:27:32Does she have a death wish?
00:27:34Who is she?
00:27:37You almost killed me!
00:27:38Who are you?
00:27:41What?
00:27:42What 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?
00:27:51Ma'am, it's you.
00:27:54Why are you here?
00:27:55I arrived too late and let you suffer.
00:28:01So you wanted to stand up for this commoner?
00:28:06Stay beside me and watch.
00:28:09I won't let any of them off.
00:28:10I came today to stand up for her.
00:28:13The 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?
00:28:23Could 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, fetch 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, I'd like to see how Count Grove handles me when he sees me.
00:29:09My lord, urgent news from the cathedral.
00:29:13A lunatic is leading privateers,
00:29:14faking the queen's identity to attack Lady Bella and the Baron.
00:29:21Preposterous!
00:29:22In the heart of Blackrock City,
00:29:24someone dares to mock the queen and bully my daughter!
00:29:29Guards, move out!
00:29:31I'll hang this impostor myself.
00:29:36You'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!
00:29:50Despicable?
00:29:51That's you, Eric.
00:29:53You stole Shiril's work to buy this title.
00:29:55You climbed to the top on her blood and sweat
00:29:58and now you dare try to crush her?
00:30:00You've spit on every sacred promise.
00:30:02You're a pathetic excuse for a man.
00:30:04That's right, Shiril was so devoted to Eric.
00:30:07How could he break his vow?
00:30:08Shiril wove day and night for Eric
00:30:10and sold soup whenever she had time.
00:30:12We all saw her sacrifices.
00:30:18Shut up!
00:30:19The workshop is my property!
00:30:20She's just a lowly worker!
00:30:22Everything I have is what I deserve!
00:30:24Countgrove!
00:30:29Madam, thank you for standing up for me,
00:30:32but please, you must leave now.
00:30:35Countgrove 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,
00:30:47I'll punish these disgusting villains myself.
00:30:50They will pay for what you did to me.
00:30:52No one has ever protected me unconditionally.
00:30:55She's just like...
00:30:57Just like a mother.
00:30:59Eric!
00:31:00This old fraud is insane!
00:31:02She's helping Shiril 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
00:31:21until the crows pick them clean.
00:31:22Just wait and see!
00:31:32What big talk?
00:31:33You break vows, kill the weak,
00:31:35and 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
00:31:44and you'll lose your title,
00:31:45your wealth, and your head.
00:31:50Ridiculous!
00:31:50You think you can travel a thousand miles
00:31:53just 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!
00:32:01Submit a petition?
00:32:02This is the funniest joke I've ever heard!
00:32:05You? See the Queen?
00:32:07Wouldn't get within a mile of the palace alive.
00:32:11Eric!
00:32:12The gods are watching from above!
00:32:13The kingdom's laws won't be blinded forever
00:32:15by despicable people like you!
00:32:18Laws?
00:32:19Here, 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.
00:32:36I will watch these two peasants bleed their last drop right here!
00:32:52Enough, 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!
00:33:11You used her blood and sweat to climb the social clallor and now you want to kill her?
00:33:14You're no gentleman.
00:33:15You'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?
00:33:34They only spoke the truth and you dare strike them!
00:33:38Truth?
00:33:38Here?
00:33:39Here I am the truth.
00:33:41Opposing me is a crime punishable by death.
00:33:43You rats from the sewers were born to be trash under our feet.
00:33:47Now and forever.
00:33:50Trampled underfoot?
00:33:51You 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.
00:34:02You don't deserve to be nobles.
00:34:03You deserve nothing!
00:34:06You 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!
00:34:33You dare hit me!
00:34:35You dare hit me!
00:34:35You peasant!
00:34:36You dare hit me!
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 Groove now!
00:35:04Daring to offend the Groove family on my territory!
00:35:08The gallows will be your final resting place today!
00:35:12Full speed ahead!
00:35:13Higher!
00:35:22You lawless madwoman.
00:35:25Before 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!
00:35:33Toss their carcasses to the wolves and let them rot!
00:35:35How dare these peasants insult my title!
00:35:39Eric!
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.
00:35:48And in the future, my father's power and connections are yours to command.
00:35:52I'll end you right here!
00:35:54Enough!
00:35:55Your 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?
00:36:17You dare point weapons at me!
00:36:25Enough 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 Shiro's hard work back to her!
00:36:47What are you peasants trying to do?
00:36:49Are you trying to overthrow the Order?
00:36:50You're reckless rioters!
00:36:51Wait until the Count's guards arrive, they'll send all you cheap bones to the gallows!
00:36:56A 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!
00:37:08Damn right!
00:37:09And you, enjoy the crown's protection, only to turn your blades on its people!
00:37:15Listen 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!
00:37:23Fella, your soul is too rotten to ever be called noble!
00:37:26No, shut up!
00:37:28Shut up!
00:37:29Shut up, you madwoman!
00:37:30Shut up!
00:37:37Who dares to impersonate the Queen here and defend the Magi of the Groves?
00:37:42Get out here and face death!
00:37:53Who dares to impersonate the Queen here and defend the Magi of the Groves?
00:37:58Get out here and face death!
00:38:05Father, you finally came!
00:38:09If 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 Groves family in my city?
00:38:21My lord, this crazy woman ruined everything!
00:38:24She even brought thugs to impersonate the Royal Guard.
00:38:27Look 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!
00:38:47Burn her alive!
00:38:50Count Groves!
00:38:51How dare she!
00:38:53I'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!
00:39:00No one mocks the Groves name and lives!
00:39:02Where 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.
00:39:18You 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.
00:39:47You are you.
00:39:57This woman's error.
00:40:00It's overwhelming.
00:40:01Who exactly is she?
00:40:03You dare bully my daughter in my place!
00:40:07And you dare impersonate the queen!
00:40:10Father!
00:40:11She's a fake!
00:40:12She's playing queen to save that bitch!
00:40:16Arrest her!
00:40:17Make her crawl 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.
00:40:32That voice sounds so familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before.
00:40:40My father knows the queen personally!
00:40:43Your 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!
00:41:26Shereel.
00:41:26Stand safely behind you.
00:41:28I will never let you suffer any wrongs, nor will I let these evil people succeed.
00:41:40Protect her majesty!
00:41:47Grove, you say I am an imposter, then look at what this is.
00:42:02What is this thing?
00:42:03This is...
00:42:04This is the emblem representing the royal family!
00:42:08She has a royal emblem!
00:42:10Is she really the queen?
00:42:16If she is truly her majesty, then we're finished.
00:42:21Even if we are torn to pieces, it won't pacify her anger.
00:42:26Wait, the piece she's holding...
00:42:29It looks exactly like the one I have.
00:42:31They belong together.
00:42:34They belong together.
00:42:40My family is connected to royalty?
00:42:43This lady...
00:42:45Who is she really?
00:42:49Father, look clearly!
00:42:51This emblem is broken.
00:42:53It's only half.
00:42:55How could the queen use a defective item?
00:42:58It must be a fake made by a cheap person like you!
00:43:02Of course!
00:43:03It's a fake!
00:43:04Shereel is a weaver.
00:43:06She can copy any embroidery she sees.
00:43:08She forged that emblem herself!
00:43:11Don't be fooled by a peasant's needlework!
00:43:14You forge royal tokens and impersonate the queen!
00:43:17This is absolute deseration of the sacred dignity of the royal family!
00:43:23You liars deserve to die here today!
00:43:35How dare you disrespect the royal token!
00:43:40Just a fake.
00:43:42You're next.
00:43:43Ma'am, please leave.
00:43:45I don't want you in danger because of me.
00:43:55Too late.
00:43:56None of you are leaving here now.
00:43:59Shereel!
00:44:00Your scam has been exposed!
00:44:03For the sake of our past, I'll ask the Count for a quick death!
00:44:07Confess now!
00:44:08This is the only mercy you'll get!
00:44:11How dare you treat Shereel this way?
00:44:13If it weren't for her...
00:44:16You would never have gotten the chance to be knighted as a baron.
00:44:20My coronation is because the royal family saw my capability.
00:44:25I earned it!
00:44:27What does it have to do with a peasant like her?
00:44:32If it weren't for the holly-patterned silk I wove, you would never have gotten that title!
00:44:38You should be grateful!
00:44:39If not for our weaving mill, you'd be a whore on the streets by now!
00:44:49Shereel gave you everything.
00:44:51And you betrayed her to climb the social ladder.
00:44:54Shereel, you ungrateful snake.
00:44:57You don't deserve that title.
00:44:59You don't even deserve to stand in my presence!
00:45:02You damned fraud, impersonating the Queen.
00:45:05You have no right to judge me!
00:45:28It's just a peasant.
00:45:30Teaching them their place is my duty.
00:45:33You will pay for your actions.
00:45:37A fraud pretending to be the Queen thinks she can make a noble pay?
00:45:41What a massive joke!
00:45:42Even fine clothes can't hide your vulgar stench.
00:45:48That thing on your wrist is enough to expose your lowly status.
00:45:52A red string?
00:45:54That's a peasant's toy!
00:45:56Even slum kids wouldn't touch that filth!
00:45:59You expect us to believe the Queen would wear such a lowly piece of trash?
00:46:04Don't be joked!
00:46:07A red string?
00:46:09I told you, a lower-class weaver like Shereel couldn't possibly know any nobles.
00:46:13You're exposed.
00:46:15Look, everyone!
00:46:16This hand string probably isn't even worth a single coin!
00:46:20He's right.
00:46:22Why would the Queen wear a red string sold only in slums?
00:46:27The red string?
00:46:28Why does it break my heart to see it?
00:46:31My memory!
00:46:32This red string!
00:46:33What does it have to do with me?
00:46:39If you're going to pretend to be the Queen, don't you even have decent jewellery?
00:46:44Look closely, you old ham.
00:46:46This is 50 gold coins worth of luxury.
00:46:49A symbol of nobility.
00:46:50Only trash like you would wear a torn string.
00:46:53Understand the difference now?
00:46:58Day showed Rhea's my two towns,
00:47:00and we're mine either Rhea's built bush that gold in this port.
00:47:02Even if it wore 500 or 1,000 gold beers and wore Yemeni to your second.
00:47:09Everyone, listen!
00:47:10This crazy woman thinks her trashy string is a national treasure.
00:47:15I'm curious.
00:47:16Why is my 5,000 gold bracelet inferior to your filthy thread?
00:47:21Speak up!
00:47:22To you, it is a thread.
00:47:25To me, it is 10 years of a daughter's love.
00:47:28She saved every penny just to buy me this Christmas gift.
00:47:33Not all the gold in your treasury could ever match its worth.
00:47:37Ah, I see.
00:47:41So it was given by your daughter.
00:47:45What if I destroy it?
00:47:47Will it break your heart?
00:48:01Don't you dare!
00:48:02I'm warning you!
00:48:04If you dare destroy this handstring, I'll have your life for it!
00:48:11You want my life?
00:48:13I already burned it!
00:48:14My father, Count Grove, is standing right here!
00:48:17If you have the guts, try and touch me!
00:48:20It's over.
00:48:22That was Her Majesty's weak spot.
00:48:25Weak spot?
00:48:27It's true.
00:48:28There was a duke who once called that string ugly.
00:48:31The Queen turned on him instantly.
00:48:33She didn't just suppress his businesses.
00:48:36She erased his name from the nobility.
00:48:40Just because he insulted in a handstring, she ruined him?
00:48:43It wasn't just suppression.
00:48:45Overnight, his family was ruined.
00:48:47He lost all his land and ended up on the streets.
00:48:50He's worse off than a beggar now.
00:48:53This Bella not only mocked the handstring, but actually burned it.
00:48:56She truly doesn't know she's asking for death.
00:48:59It's just a worthless, torn red string.
00:49:01It's your honor that my daughter burnt it.
00:49:05A torn string.
00:49:08It is worth more than every one of you combined.
00:49:16You bitch!
00:49:17How dare you look down on us!
00:49:23How dare you destroy the things I cherish.
00:49:25I will destroy all of you.
00:49:29Bitch, watch closely!
00:49:39What can you do about it?
00:49:45You are going too far!
00:49:48They have thoroughly enraged the Queen.
00:49:51These fools are doomed beyond redemption.
00:49:55The local guards here aren't enough.
00:49:58I must summon the royal guard immediately.
00:50:06Your string is gone now.
00:50:09What can you possibly do to me?
00:50:25I'm sorry.
00:50:27I'm sorry.
00:50:29My daughter.
00:50:31My daughter.
00:50:33I'm sorry.
00:50:34I'm sorry.
00:50:37Go mourn in prison.
00:50:39Guards, arrest them all!
00:50:44I will completely destroy.
00:50:48I will completely destroy.
00:50:54That sounds like movement from outside.
00:50:57Every single one of you.
00:51:01An army!
00:51:02It's the royal guard!
00:51:12Why 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!
00:51:37May the royal power shine forever!
00:51:53Your majesty!
00:51:55Please forgive my ignorance!
00:51:57I didn't know it was you!
00:51:59Mercy, your majesty!
00:52:00Please have mercy!
00:52:02Enough!
00:52:03You've treated my people like trash
00:52:05and disgraced your rank.
00:52:07Today, you lose everything.
00:52:09I revoke your titles and seize your lands.
00:52:11The Grove family is exiled
00:52:13to the northern ice fields for eternity.
00:52:16Guards!
00:52:16Drag them out of my sight!
00:52:18No!
00:52:19No!
00:52:20No!
00:52:21No!
00:52:27You betrayed honor
00:52:28and profited from another's suffering.
00:52:30Your deaths would mean nothing
00:52:31but
00:52:32for the fact that you housed Shereel
00:52:34in her hour of need
00:52:35I shall spare your lives.
00:52:37That one act of charity
00:52:38is your only salvation.
00:52:40Eric Gray
00:52:41your title is revoked!
00:52:43You and your kin
00:52:44are commoners now.
00:52:46Confiscate all workshops.
00:52:48You are forbidden
00:52:48from touching the merchant trade forever.
00:52:51Disobey
00:52:51and the noose will be waiting.
00:52:54This lady
00:52:55who always shielded me behind her
00:52:57and took all the malice for me
00:52:58is actually
00:52:59the supreme queen of the kingdom?
00:53:01Why?
00:53:03Why do I feel
00:53:04she is so kind
00:53:05so familiar?
00:53:08It was my negligence
00:53:10that allowed nobles
00:53:11to bully the innocent.
00:53:12From now on
00:53:13I will personally ensure
00:53:15your dignity
00:53:15is never trampled again.
00:53:17Please
00:53:18rise.
00:53:25May the gods bless
00:53:26your majesty!
00:53:30Your majesty,
00:53:31I meant no offense.
00:53:33I was just so surprised
00:53:35earlier that I
00:53:36forgot to kneel.
00:53:41Your majesty.
00:53:44no, my sweetheart.
00:53:49You never have to bow to me.
00:53:53Your majesty,
00:53:54I don't understand.
00:53:56I owe you too much.
00:53:58Your 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,
00:54:09what exactly does this pendant mean?
00:54:11I have a matching half too.
00:54:13Maybe,
00:54:13maybe you can help me
00:54:14find my family.
00:54:16Do I have a family?
00:54:19Come back with me.
00:54:21Once you see the palace,
00:54:22you will know everything.
00:54:39Greetings, noble lady.
00:54:46Your majesty,
00:54:48this,
00:54:49this is too precious.
00:54:50I am just a commoner.
00:54:51How do I deserve this?
00:54:53These are but minor decorations.
00:54:55If you like,
00:54:57I would bring all the treasures
00:54:59of the kingdom
00:54:59to lay at your feet.
00:55:04Your majesty,
00:55:05you favor me so much.
00:55:07Does it really have to do
00:55:08with that emblem?
00:55:23What does this mean?
00:55:26Where is my family?
00:55:40This holly pattern,
00:55:42this unique embroidery style?
00:55:45It's exactly the same
00:55:47as what I designed.
00:55:49How is this possible?
00:55:51Good child,
00:55:52look closely at it.
00:55:54Does your heart
00:55:55remember anything?
00:56:01Mom,
00:56:02this is my Christmas gift to you.
00:56:04Hope you will like it.
00:56:05It's beautiful.
00:56:08It's beautiful.
00:56:08This is my only
00:56:09precious belonging left.
00:56:12We'll each keep half.
00:56:14Mom will never abandon you.
00:56:17We will never be apart.
00:56:25Mom,
00:56:26you have to live on.
00:56:34You,
00:56:35you're okay.
00:56:35It's so good to see
00:56:37you healthy and alive.
00:56:40My little princess.
00:56:46Mom finally found you.
00:56:50Mom,
00:56:51Mom.
00:56:52Mom.
00:56:53Mom.
00:56:53Mom.
00:56:54Mom.
00:56:55Mom.
00:56:57Mom.
00:56:57Mom.
00:56:59Curse it all.
00:57:00I was a baron.
00:57:01I was meant for greatness.
00:57:02Now I'm a common rat
00:57:04digging in the mud.
00:57:06Is this my life now?
00:57:08Is this all I am?
00:57:09It's her fault.
00:57:11Shereel ruined everything.
00:57:12Why did she get the velvet throne
00:57:14while we rot in the mud?
00:57:15She was a nobody
00:57:16and now she's a princess?
00:57:17Stop complaining.
00:57:19The queen not sending us
00:57:20to the gallow
00:57:21is already a huge mercy.
00:57:22We'll never turn
00:57:23our lives around now.
00:57:24No.
00:57:25I won't accept this.
00:57:27Shereel,
00:57:27used to be utterly devoted
00:57:28to me,
00:57:29willing to give me her life.
00:57:30She's just temporarily blinded
00:57:32by the queen's authority.
00:57:33Son,
00:57:34you're right.
00:57:34Shereel loved you deeply.
00:57:36What if you can find a chance
00:57:38to win her heart back?
00:57:40How is that possible?
00:57:41She's the pearl of the crown
00:57:43now surrounded by guards.
00:57:44We can't even get close
00:57:45to the palace wall.
00:57:46Use her, Eric!
00:57:47She's a princess now,
00:57:49but she's still that stupid girl
00:57:51who loved you.
00:57:52If you can win her back,
00:57:53she'll beg the queen
00:57:54to pardon us.
00:57:55We can leave this
00:57:56stinking ditch
00:57:56and be back nobles again!
00:57:58Right.
00:57:59As long as I can see her
00:58:00deep down,
00:58:01she's still the same
00:58:02stupid girl
00:58:02I can manipulate.
00:58:11My lord,
00:58:12about the matter
00:58:13I asked of you last time,
00:58:14how is it going?
00:58:15Jobs in the palace
00:58:16aren't easy to find.
00:58:18I can't just help anyone
00:58:19unconditionally
00:58:20who asks me.
00:58:25Get lost.
00:58:26You smell like
00:58:27a rotting corpse.
00:58:28This scrap of gold
00:58:29won't get you through
00:58:29the servant's gate.
00:58:30You're too filthy
00:58:31to even sweep the stables.
00:58:33Go back to your ditch.
00:58:34My lord,
00:58:35have mercy.
00:58:36I'm a fast worker.
00:58:37Just give me a smock
00:58:38and let me join the crew.
00:58:40I'll work for scraps
00:58:40of black bread.
00:58:41I promise.
00:58:42I'll stay invisible.
00:58:44I won't cause any trouble.
00:58:45I swear on my life.
00:58:46My lord,
00:58:47this is all I have.
00:58:48When I get paid,
00:58:48I will give it all
00:58:49to honor you.
00:58:51Put it on.
00:58:52Go to carry firewood
00:58:54and flower.
00:58:55Listen up.
00:58:56If you disturb the royals,
00:58:57the guards will take your head.
00:58:59The guard will chop your head off
00:59:00and kick it like a ball.
00:59:02Thank you for your grace,
00:59:03my lord.
00:59:09Shia,
00:59:09my dear princess,
00:59:11just wait.
00:59:13Everything you possess now
00:59:14will soon be back
00:59:15under my control.
00:59:23My darling,
00:59:24you need a shield,
00:59:24not just a husband.
00:59:25A knight who will never fail you.
00:59:27And I found him.
00:59:28Your future husband,
00:59:30Duke Eris.
00:59:36Mother,
00:59:37I don't want to get married.
00:59:41Aris returns in triumph
00:59:43from the southern front.
00:59:44He is more than just a brilliant commander.
00:59:46He is a man of honor
00:59:48and a pure soul.
00:59:50He is not like the others,
00:59:51Sheerick.
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,
01:00:00but it was just a cold-blooded trap.
01:00:04Mother, I can't.
01:00:05I dare not trust again.
01:00:07My dear child,
01:00:09that snake's betrayal isn't on you.
01:00:11I will never let anyone force you
01:00:13to do anything against your will.
01:00:15It's just a dinner tonight,
01:00:16one meal.
01:00:17Go meet him.
01:00:18If he's not for you,
01:00:18I'll never bring it up again.
01:00:20I promise.
01:00:21Okay,
01:00:21I'll listen to you.
01:00:24Your Highness,
01:00:25Duke Eris is waiting for you
01:00:26in the banquet hall.
01:00:31I know.
01:00:32You may all leave.
01:00:36Go see another man?
01:00:38Dream on!
01:00:39Once I take her virginity tonight,
01:00:41she'll be mine forever.
01:00:42Even a highborn princess
01:00:44must bow to the sake
01:00:45of the royal reputation.
01:00:47As for that arrogant queen,
01:00:49I'll make her beg me
01:00:50to take her crown.
01:01:00Good evening, Shirelle.
01:01:07This place!
01:01:09Eric?
01:01:10No, impossible.
01:01:11There are heavily armed
01:01:13royal knights outside.
01:01:14How could a stripped common man
01:01:15pass through layers of blockages
01:01:17into the high tower?
01:01:18Who is he?
01:01:19Shh.
01:01:20Don't struggle,
01:01:21my noble princess.
01:01:23Your silk gown is so smooth.
01:01:25I wonder if the body
01:01:27underneath it
01:01:27is even smoother.
01:01:30What a delicate little prey you are.
01:01:32Soon I'll strip
01:01:33every last piece of clothing
01:01:35and tonight
01:01:35I'm going to enjoy
01:01:37your royal body.
01:01:45Tonight,
01:01:46I take everything.
01:01:48Your innocence,
01:01:49your pride,
01:01:50and your mother's throne.
01:01:52Once this scandal is done,
01:01:54she'll have no choice
01:01:55but to make me your husband
01:01:57and hand over the keys
01:01:58to the kingdom.
01:02:05Too loud!
01:02:14Get your filthy hands
01:02:16off, her highness!
01:02:19Stay back,
01:02:20or I'll snap her neck.
01:02:38I apologise.
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.
01:03:10Thank 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.
01:03:49The finest royal knights guard your door around the clock. No one without the password gets near this floor.
01:03:59Then will you be here too?
01:04:02As long as Your Highness needs me, I will be here.
01:04:09I mean, it's always better to have another skilled warrior nearby. I didn't mean anything else by it.
01:04:25Shereel!
01:04:25Thank God you're safe. Sarah told me a thug broke in. My heart nearly stopped.
01:04:32Mother, I'm fine.
01:04:35Duke Aris broke the door down just in time.
01:04:40That damned throg! Shereel! Did you see who it was?
01:04:47The room was too dark. He stayed in the shadows the whole time. I couldn't see his face.
01:04:54But I pierced his arm. Even 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. Drag him out!
01:05:10Dare 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.
01:05:54Since Duke Aris is so skilled, perhaps he should personally teach you defensive swordman strength.
01:06:01I was so close.
01:06:04If 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, line 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 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,
01:07:35the 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.
01:08:18He...
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.
01:08:42I understand, Duke Eris.
01:08:45Please continue.
01:09:00Now, let your instincts guide it.
01:09:22Don't rush, your highness.
01:09:24Take everything step by step.
01:09:27I'm sorry.
01:09:29I'm so clumsy at this.
01:09:32You're doing incredibly well.
01:09:35Since swordmanship doesn't come naturally,
01:09:38let's shift to basic combat.
01:09:40How to protect yourself.
01:09:41Using your center of gravity.
01:09:44No weapon needed.
01:09:45Move.
01:09:56Move.
01:10:00Come on.
01:10:02Come on.
01:10:08Come on.
01:10:20My lord!
01:10:27Report to the Duke.
01:10:29Every person in the palace has been inspected.
01:10:31No assassin with a wounded right arm found.
01:10:36New command. Search every corner.
01:10:37No unidentified person hides inside these walls.
01:10:41Yes, 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.
01:10:53Your 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,
01:11:20why 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,
01:11:30I 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,
01:11:53we should dig his grave ourselves and lure him in.
01:11:57Your highness,
01:11:59what 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.
01:12:14So he doesn't get suspicious.
01:12:15No ambush troops.
01:12:16Only you.
01:12:18Hidden in the dark.
01:12:18Absolutely not.
01:12:20That is gambling with your life.
01:12:22Eris,
01:12:23living in endless fear is no life at all.
01:12:27Better 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.
01:12:37I've learned a lot from you these past few days.
01:12:40Nothing will happen.
01:12:41Trust me.
01:12:47All 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?
01:13:30He passed out on a deserted road.
01:13:31If we hadn't found him,
01:13:32he'd be dead.
01:13:33When he were getting paid for this.
01:13:35Where is he?
01:13:36At the physician's.
01:13:37I will catch him
01:13:38and hand him to you 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
01:13:44is 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
01:13:54by 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.
01:14:16Mary, didn't I say not to disturb me
01:14:17while I'm confessing?
01:14:18Your Highness,
01:14:19Her Majesty is concerned about your health.
01:14:22This incense will help you
01:14:23draw closer to the gods.
01:14:26Incense?
01:14:27Just leave it there.
01:14:33Long time no see, my princess.
01:14:36I've missed you.
01:14:38It is him.
01:14:48Looks like my knockout powder worked.
01:14:51The maid has already fallen asleep.
01:14:55What happened?
01:14:57Why 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?
01:15:16Yes, he got that sword wound over ten days ago.
01:15:18You 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.
01:15:43Did you think you can fight back against me?
01:15:54Let me see who you really are.
01:16:03It's you,
01:16:05Erik.
01:16:07Shiryant,
01:16:08you were supposed to wail beneath my body
01:16:11and become my gold ticket.
01:16:12Shut up!
01:16:14Give 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.
01:16:22I let a decoy distract me
01:16:23and left you defenseless
01:16:24against 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.
01:16:31Eris,
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,
01:16:54then I will give you a punishment.
01:16:56Guard my side every moment
01:16:58for the rest of your life.
01:17:00Never look away.
01:17:01Be my sole protector
01:17:02for a lifetime.
01:17:06Your Highness,
01:17:07do you mean it to me?
01:17:10This isn't a punishment,
01:17:11but a reward.
01:17:12Will you accept it,
01:17:13my Duke Heiress?
01:17:14I swear to protect you
01:17:15for eternity.
01:17:28By royal decree,
01:17:30Eric Gray,
01:17:31a mere commoner,
01:17:32has attempted to assassinate
01:17:33the princess.
01:17:34Sorry.
01:17:35Eric,
01:17:36what is he saying?
01:17:38By royal law
01:17:39and Her Majesty's will,
01:17:40Eric Gray
01:17:41is hereby stripped
01:17:43of 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.
01:17:57What else can we do?
01:17:59We can't even touch
01:18:00the palace walls now!
01:18:02Since we stay here
01:18:03waiting for death,
01:18:04we might as well
01:18:05risk 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
01:18:13would ruin you forever.
01:18:15Yes!
01:18:15We can use her reputation
01:18:17against her
01:18:18and force her
01:18:19to spare our son!
01:18:20The royal family
01:18:21values reputation
01:18:22above all else.
01:18:23Maybe the queen
01:18:24will even marry
01:18:24Shirell to Eric.
01:18:25Then our good times
01:18:26will be back!
01:18:27Let's do it!
01:18:28We only have a few years
01:18:29left in this broken shed anyway.
01:18:31We either save our son
01:18:32and live a good life
01:18:32or we drag that little bitch
01:18:34to hell with us!
01:18:42God bless you,
01:18:43kind princess.
01:18:44I've never seen royalty
01:18:46this approachable.
01:18:47Not a trace of noble arrogance
01:18:48in her eyes.
01:18:51Shirell isn't arrogant.
01:18:53Because not long ago
01:18:54she was just a grubby weaver
01:18:56dealing in coarse linen
01:18:57all day!
01:18:59You folks probably
01:19:00don't know this
01:19:00but this noble princess
01:19:01used to live with our family.
01:19:03No name of her own
01:19:04back then.
01:19:04And her only ambition
01:19:05was to cling to my son,
01:19:07Eric.
01:19:07Poor thing!
01:19:08To keep her claws in Eric
01:19:09she would use bringing dinner
01:19:11as an excuse
01:19:11to sneak into a man's bedroom
01:19:13late at night.
01:19:15She'd stay for hours.
01:19:17And the noises
01:19:18behind that door.
01:19:19Holy mother!
01:19:20It was unbearable.
01:19:22Could it be
01:19:22her highness
01:19:23has already been with a man?
01:19:25If she really fooled about
01:19:26with a commoner man
01:19:27in 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
01:19:46stop the execution
01:19:47now
01:19:48and announce
01:19:48you'll marry him
01:19:49or I'll leak
01:19:50every filthy tale
01:19:51of your intimate knights.
01:19:53The crown won't hesitate
01:19:54to disown
01:19:54a disgraced heir.
01:19:56Shut your mouth
01:19:56You liar.
01:19:58My relationship
01:19:58with Eric was clean.
01:20:00We never crossed
01:20:00a single line.
01:20:01Go ahead.
01:20:02Try to smear my name
01:20:03with your trash.
01:20:04See who survives.
01:20:05Back in the Black Rock City workshop
01:20:07who was sneaking
01:20:08into my son's room
01:20:09on cold nights?
01:20:10Who spent those
01:20:11secret afternoons
01:20:12glued to my poor Eric?
01:20:14Why won't you
01:20:15just admit it?
01:20:16Does that mean
01:20:17the princess did
01:20:17forbidden things
01:20:19with a man?
01:20:20What a disgrace
01:20:21to the royal name.
01:20:22That never happened.
01:20:23You are lying.
01:20:29Lord Duke
01:20:30perfect timing.
01:20:31She and my son
01:20:32were lovers
01:20:33doing shameful things
01:20:34in that humble bedroom.
01:20:36Do not marry her.
01:20:46No, no.
01:20:47That's not true.
01:20:49It absolutely is.
01:20:51Cheryl and Eric's
01:20:53affair is known
01:20:53to all of Black Rock City.
01:20:55She has been
01:20:56my son's woman
01:20:57for years.
01:20:58You cannot
01:20:58marry her.
01:21:00Lord Duke
01:21:00is valiant
01:21:01and noble.
01:21:02He shouldn't
01:21:03marry a woman
01:21:03like that.
01:21:06No.
01:21:07Is he going
01:21:08to doubt me too?
01:21:10Yes.
01:21:12Enough!
01:21:14Put away your
01:21:14sickening,
01:21:15clumsy acting.
01:21:16Aris,
01:21:17Aris,
01:21:17do you trust me?
01:21:20Of course I trust you.
01:21:22You are my fiancé,
01:21:23my future wife,
01:21:24the mother of my future children,
01:21:26the 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
01:21:46insulting my fiancé,
01:21:47but trampling the glory
01:21:50of the entire kingdom!
01:21:53Shut up,
01:21:54you blood-sucking leeches!
01:21:56I am a merchant
01:21:57from Black Rock City.
01:21:59I've always seen
01:22:00Miss Sherrill
01:22:00doing laundry
01:22:01in the freezing winter
01:22:02while you sat by the fire.
01:22:04You're not nobles,
01:22:06you're thieves.
01:22:07She's innocent!
01:22:09The greys
01:22:10started those rumours
01:22:11to force the princess
01:22:12to marry into their family.
01:22:14They used her
01:22:15to 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,
01:22:31you and Eric
01:22:31will repent
01:22:32on the gallows.
01:23:00The fireworks celebrating our wedding
01:23:03are so beautiful.
01:23:05We are finally couples.
01:23:07I can protect you
01:23:07by your side forever.
01:23:09Eris,
01:23:09thank you.
01:23:10When everyone wanted
01:23:11to drag me into the abyss,
01:23:13only you held my hand tight
01:23:14all along.
01:23:15And thank me with a kiss.
