Transcript
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.
00:01:38Ten silver coins, at most.
00:01:42So, I'm dying. Ten silver coins only buys me a month of medicine.
00:01:48Please, 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 shiril.
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.
00:02:19And look at you now, pathetic.
00:02:27Father, I don't have much time left.
00:02:30Please have mercy and take shiril 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, shiril is my life. I will never abandon her.
00:02:53You're my only child, the last of our royal blood. Your illness has already brought you to death. Are you
00:03:00willing to risk your life over some base-born bastard?
00:03:05Without shiril, the palace is nothing more than an ornate tomb. I would rather die than abandon my daughter.
00:03:12Then die in this icebox! I, Robert, never had you as a daughter!
00:03:20It's all my fault. I'm the one who made Mother suffer.
00:03:32Mum, it's Christmas today. I didn't save enough for a turkey, but I made pea soup.
00:03:38Good girl. Mum is so proud of you.
00:03:41Mum, this is my Christmas gift to you. Hope you will like it.
00:03:46It's beautiful. I love it.
00:03:49I'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.
00:04:25We will never be apart.
00:04:28Mother, my departure is the only way for you to live.
00:04:32You have to carry on, please.
00:04:43My mother.
00:04:51Your majesty!
00:04:54Please save my mom!
00:04:59As long as you save my mother, I am willing to leave her forever.
00:05:03and never take the royal bloodline.
00:05:17This is Datria, one sip, and your past is gone forever.
00:05:22I'm sending you to a remote border town.
00:05:28Never set foot in the capital again.
00:05:54Mom, you have to live on.
00:06:03Lyanna.
00:06:07Father, what are you doing here?
00:06:19My child!
00:06:21Shereel!
00:06:22Where are you?
00:06:31Mom, please forgive me for leaving like this.
00:06:34I wanted to stay with you forever.
00:06:37But I couldn't just watch you die.
00:06:40Grandfather promised me to save you, but only if I left.
00:06:44This dress is my final gift, like the holly on it.
00:06:49I wish you endless life and hope.
00:06:51I will always love you.
00:07:00My child!
00:07:02Shereel!
00:07:04Shereel!
00:07:06Shereel, where are you?
00:07:08My child.
00:07:10Shereel.
00:07:12My child.
00:07:13Where are you?
00:07:18My child.
00:07:21Shereel.
00:07:25Take Princess Lyanna back to the palace and let the physicians treat her.
00:07:56I've rebuilt this nation and silenced the drums of war.
00:07:59Our land is thriving and secure, yet one void remains in my heart.
00:08:04I 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.
00:08:19A duxtish just for a clue?
00:08:21Whoever brings her home safely, you shall be named Hand of the King with absolute power.
00:08:28Second only to me!
00:08:32A duxtish just for a clue!
00:08:36A duxtish just for a clue!
00:08:57Go to the royal officer. If the queen likes it, your family will become a royal supplier and you'll finally
00:09:03get your barony.
00:09:05It's exquisite.
00:09:07Shiril, you're amazing. The 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. Once the queen grants me the title of baron, I'll marry you immediately and give you a truly
00:09:23warm 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. Give me more time. I'll leave all night and sell peace sumps all day. I'll have
00:09:37the 100 soon.
00:09:39Shiril, you think I care about cold hard cash? I'm doing this for us. My parents are old fashioned. They
00:09:47only care about status.
00:09:48Give me the 80 coins. I'll use them to shut them up and prove your worth to-
00:09:52But-
00:09:53Shh!
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. Once I am a baron, we'll be from two different worlds. A factory girl trying to crawl into nobility?
00:10:20Keep dreaming.
00:10:41Any news from the States? Still no trace of Shiril?
00:10:45Forgive me, your majesty. Not yet. The purchasing has just arrived with premium silk tributes for your review.
00:10:59This fabric.
00:11:18There's no mistake.
00:11:21This holly pattern. This unique stitching. Only my daughter could embroider this.
00:11:26Sarah! Where was this fabric sent from?
00:11:29Your majesty. It's from Black Rock City. It was sent by a local merchant, Eric Gray.
00:11:39It's her.
00:11:41It must be her! Sarah, prepare a carriage immediately.
00:11:47Royal Guard! We're going to Black Rock City right now!
00:11:51At once, your majesty!
00:11:57Your majesty!
00:11:58Your majesty. We will reach Black Rock City before the midday bell.
00:12:03The greys own the workshop. They've long craved royal status.
00:12:07As for the holly silk, it was woven by Eric Gray's fiancee.
00:12:13What is her name?
00:12:17Her name?
00:12:18Her name is...
00:12:21Shereel.
00:12:23It is her!
00:12:24Your majesty. The kingdom is vast, and many girls share that name.
00:12:29To be certain, I'll send someone for her hair or nails for a bloodline deputation.
00:12:35You are right. Bloodline or not, such exquisite craftsmanship deserves recognition.
00:12:41Send my orders, appoint Eric Gray as a royal merchant, and let the local church proceed with his knighting as
00:12:47a baron.
00:12:49Yes, your majesty.
00:12:51Shereel, could it be you?
00:12:53I really miss the pea soup you made for me.
00:12:58Your majesty, are you hungry?
00:13:03Look at the side of the road.
00:13:24Madam, would you like some hot pea soup?
00:13:27I cooked it myself. The taste won't disappoint you.
00:13:30It's so cold outside. Why don't you go back and rest to keep warm?
00:13:36I'm about to marry my Mr. Right.
00:13:38I need to sell a few more bowls on my lunch break.
00:13:41Gotta save up for a decent dowry.
00:13:45Counting the time.
00:13:47My daughter should be right at that age.
00:13:50I'll take a bowl.
00:13:52May the gods bless your marriage, good child.
00:13:57Lindsay,únior
00:14:09being runnin' This bracelet,
00:14:21why 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.
00:14:54Sherek! Good news! The royal charter arrived. Master Eric was bestowed the title of Baron.
00:15:02Really? Oh my god, that's amazing!
00:15:05The bishop already took Eric to the Grand Cathedral. The nightling's happening right now.
00:15:10His dream finally came true! He 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. Hurry and try it!
00:15:47Licorice!
00:15:48Your Majesty, why would there be licorice in pea soup?
00:15:50It's Shereel! That's my Shereel! There's no mistake!
00:15:55Only my daughter would add licorice to this soup!
00:15:57Turn around! Go back to that stall!
00:16:14Shereel! Shereel! Where are you? My child!
00:16:19Your Majesty, please don't panic.
00:16:27That girl, she works at the workshop.
00:16:30The bells are ringing. She must have rushed to the Cathedral for Eric's ceremony.
00:16:40Go! To the Grand Cathedral!
00:16:45This time, I will definitely find her!
00:16:52Oh my god, incredible stuff!
00:16:54Heard the Queen have signed your Baron Order. Lord Eric, you're noble now. Don't forget us little guys.
00:17:00Honour comes from God and the Queen. I'll stay grounded, of course.
00:17:07My son was born with elegant taste, so chosen by Majesty. He was destined to enter high society.
00:17:14Exactly. Baron is just the beginning. With my son's talent, Vitnot, Count, it's only a matter of time!
00:17:27Your Majesty, that's Eric Gray in the centre.
00:17:31Where's the girl who wove the holly silk? Where's my daughter?
00:17:37Today, everyone will know I am his fiancée. I'm finally going to have a real home.
00:17:42Your Majesty, it's her. She'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!
00:18:22Lordy Eric!
00:18:27Everyone, I owe this moment of supreme gloire 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!
00:18:44It 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 Shirek, that's a real blessing for the Grey family.
00:18:55I will spend my whole life loving her!
00:18:59She is...
00:19:05...the daughter of Count Grove!
00:19:09Lady Bella!
00:19:11... obecity!
00:19:36She is...
00:19:38...
00:19:39...
00:19:39...
00:19:41...
00:19:48Everyone, I owe this honor to Lady Bella
00:19:52Bella, without you, none of this would exist
00:19:55You are the only love of my life
00:19:58I swear before God, I am yours forever
00:20:04I don't understand
00:20:05I stayed up through the bitter cold
00:20:08Pouring my soul into those designs
00:20:10Every stitch, my blood
00:20:12Every tribute, my life
00:20:14And you
00:20:17In three days, I will hold a grand wedding with Lady Bella
00:20:23Bella is Count Groove's princess
00:20:25Now that Eric's a baron, they're a perfect match
00:20:27She is just a weaver
00:20:29A commoner and a noble worlds apart
00:20:32She never stood a chance
00:20:33Impossible
00:20:35Eric swore to me
00:20:37He's not the kind of hypocritical scumbag
00:20:40Who clings to power
00:20:41But
00:20:42You're a bastard who doesn't even know who your mother is
00:20:45And you delusionally think you can cling to my noble son
00:20:49No money, no 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
00:20:58I will have your legs broken
00:21:00We're nobility now, shielded by the crown
00:21:02Crushing someone like you?
00:21:04We won't even get a slack on the wrist
00:21:08Your Majesty
00:21:09The 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
00:21:39No power
00:21:41No family name
00:21:42You're a nobody
00:21:43No different from a stray dog
00:21:46Begging in the gutter
00:21:48Don't mind her, my lady
00:21:50She's a mere peasant worker who's obsessed with me
00:21:52No matter how many times I push her away
00:21:54She keeps throwing herself at me
00:21:56Low breeding
00:21:57She has no concept of dignity
00:21:59Shireel
00:22:01In our workshop
00:22:02You are nothing but a dumb ox
00:22:04Grinding the mill for free
00:22:06Tell me folks
00:22:08What self-respecting gentleman
00:22:10Would marry livestock?
00:22:17Blood is destiny
00:22:19And yours is worthless
00:22:22Nobles belong with nobles
00:22:23Peasants belong in the dirt
00:22:25Go back to the workshop where you belong
00:22:27Do your work
00:22:29And maybe we'll feed you our table scraps
00:22:31Your Majesty
00:22:33Go rush the royal shamans yourself
00:22:35Bring the results to me immediately
00:22:36Yes, Your Majesty
00:22:50So all those sleepless nights I gave you
00:22:53Every drop of soul I poured into you
00:22:56Couldn't measure up to a noble bloodline
00:22:59What you did I could hire a maid to do for a few coppers
00:23:02How is that a sacrifice?
00:23:04I was born to be worshipped
00:23:05And you were born to kneel in the mud
00:23:10You've got some nerve
00:23:11To throw a tantrum in a sacred cathedral over my man?
00:23:16You'd better think twice about whether your cheap little life
00:23:19Is worth crossing me
00:23:21The daughter of Count Grove
00:23:24Without me he'd never even be standing on this platform today
00:23:28His glory was earned stitch by stitch
00:23:31By my hands
00:23:33Without me he is nothing
00:23:45How dare you
00:23:47You lowlife
00:23:48Yell at my fiancés in the house of God
00:23:57Sarah, why aren't you back yet?
00:24:04So Eric, the mask finally slips
00:24:07It's not that I'm unworthy of you
00:24:09It's that your filthy soul doesn't deserve a single beat of my heart
00:24:16I'm a baron of the realm
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
00:24:37She's probably the love child of some drunk in a back-alley hooker
00:24:41I wouldn't want a vow-breaking snake like you anyway
00:24:44Eric, I worked in your shop for years
00:24:47And never asked for a dime in wages
00:24:49Keep the money
00:24:50Just give me back what's mine
00:24:52Give 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
00:25:09The fact that I fed you at all was charity
00:25:11Don't push your luck
00:25:21Are you this desperate because you want to crawl into his bed?
00:25:27Kneel and beg me now
00:25:29Once I get pregnant
00:25:31Maybe I'll let you stick around to warm my husband up
00:25:33You are shameless!
00:25:36Eric, this peasant dared to hurt me
00:25:38You must punish her severely
00:25:41Guards!
00:25:42Caesar!
00:25:49What are you doing?
00:25:52What are you doing?
00:25:54Shiri
00:25:54I am punishing you for your blatant insolence
00:25:57How dare a peasant disrespect a noble?
00:26:00Eric
00:26:01You break your promises
00:26:03Shame on you
00:26:04If the Queen knew you were this kind of person
00:26:07She would definitely punish you
00:26:08The Queen?
00:26:09The Queen is in the capital
00:26:10She has no time to care if a lowly commoner lives or dies
00:26:14Eric
00:26:14This bitch has derailed our wedding enough
00:26:16She even laid hands on me
00:26:18Choose now
00:26:18Kill her and prove your loyalty to me
00:26:20Or let her walk and our engagement is void
00:26:22You know what to do
00:26:24You know what to do
00:26:27Shiriya
00:26:28You asked for this
00:26:29Go to hell
00:26:38The Shaman's divination results are out
00:26:40Shiriya is your daughter
00:26:41culture
00:26:42Bad
00:26:43Oh my god
00:26:45I'm out of Kryz
00:26:51Come on
00:27:09No
00:27:19Who dares to hurt my daughter?
00:27:29Who is she?
00:27:30How does she dare attack the Baron?
00:27:32Does she have a death wish?
00:27:34Who is she?
00:27:37You almost killed me!
00:27:38Who are you?
00:27:41What 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.
00:27:53Why are you here?
00:27:55I arrived too late and let you suffer.
00:28:00So you wanted to stand up for this commoner?
00:28:06Stay beside me and watch.
00:28:08I won't let any of them off.
00:28:10I came today to stand up for her.
00:28:12The rest of you deserve to die.
00:28:19Golden armor?
00:28:20Could they be the royal guard?
00:28:21Who exactly is this woman?
00:28:22Could she be?
00:28:23The 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.
00:28:35Exactly.
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 in the heart of Black Rock 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.
00:29:35You're insane!
00:29:37Faking the queen's name is a death sentence!
00:29:41You think these golden costumes can save you?
00:29:44The queen remains in the capital!
00:29:46She wouldn't waste a second on a nobody like you!
00:29:50Despicable?
00:29:51That's you, Eric.
00:29:52You stole Shirell'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?
00:29:59You've spit on every sacred promise.
00:30:02You're a pathetic excuse for a man.
00:30:04That's right!
00:30:05Shirell was so devoted to Eric.
00:30:07How could he break his vow?
00:30:08Shirell wove day and night for Eric,
00:30:10and sold soup whenever she had time.
00:30:12We all saw her sacrifices.
00:30:17Shut 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!
00:30:29Madam,
00:30:30thank you for standing up for me,
00:30:32but please,
00:30:33you must leave now.
00:30:34Count Grove is a monster,
00:30:36and 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,
00:30:46I'll punish these disgusting villains myself.
00:30:49They will pay for what they did to me.
00:30:51No one has ever protected me unconditionally.
00:30:55She's just like...
00:30:57just like a mother.
00:30:58Eric!
00:31:00This old fraud is insane!
00:31:02She's helping Shirell 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
00:31:20until the Crows pick them clean.
00:31:22Just wait and see!
00:31:31What big talk?
00:31:33You break vows,
00:31:34kill 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,
00:31:43and you'll lose your title,
00:31:45your wealth,
00:31:45and your head.
00:31:49Ridiculous!
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?
00:32:05See 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.
00:32:35I 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!
00:33:10You used her blood and sweat to climb the social clallor and now you want to kill her?
00:33:14You're no gentleman, you're a monster!
00:33:19Shut up, you filthy peasants!
00:33:21You reek of manure and livestock!
00:33:23How dare you jump out and lecture nobility!
00:33:33Are you crazy?
00:33:35They only spoke the truth and you dare strike them!
00:33:37Truth?
00:33:38Here?
00:33:39Here I am the truth.
00:33:41Opposing me is a crime punishable by death.
00:33:43You rats from the Sea Wars were born to be trash under our feet.
00:33:47Now and forever, trampled underfoot, you parasites.
00:33:53You take everything from this kingdom and give back only cruelty.
00:33:56You trample the weak like dirt and spit on the laws of justice.
00:34:00Filthy, heartless cowards.
00:34:01You don't deserve to be noble.
00:34:03You deserve nothing!
00:34:05You mad woman!
00:34:07Death is upon you, yet you still dare spout such nonsense!
00:34:11Today, by the will of the heavens, I shall make you pay in blood for your arrogance and cruelty!
00:34:24You dare hit me!
00:34:32You dare hit me!
00:34:34You peasant, you dare hit me!
00:34:42You're dead!
00:34:43My father will rot you in the pits!
00:34:46He'll have you flayed alive until there's nothing left but screams!
00:34:50Where is my father?
00:34:53Someone find Count Grove now!
00:35:04Daring to offend the Grove family on my territory!
00:35:08The gallows will be your final resting place today!
00:35:11Full speed ahead!
00:35:13Hi-ya!
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!
00:35:32Toss their carcasses to the wolves and let them rot!
00:35:35How dare these peasants insult my title!
00:35:38Eric!
00:35:39Draw your sword!
00:35:41Teach these dogs the meaning of fear!
00:35:45That's right, Eric.
00:35:46Avenge me for this.
00:35:47And in the future, my father's power and connections are yours to command.
00:35:52I'll end you right here!
00:35:54Enough!
00:35:54Your blood will serve as a lesson to these rats!
00:35:57Offending a noble is a death sentence!
00:35:59Now perish!
00:36:10You want to kill me?
00:36:13In your dreams?
00:36:16You dare point weapons at me!
00:36:24Enough is enough.
00:36:26We give our blood and sweat to this land, yet you treat us like dirt!
00:36:30Listen to me, everyone.
00:36:31We aren't animals!
00:36:32We won't be trampled anymore!
00:36:35That's right!
00:36:36Strip this hypocrite of his title!
00:36:38Give Cheryl's hard work back to her!
00:36:47What are you peasants trying to do?
00:36:48Are you trying to overthrow the Order?
00:36:50You're reckless rioters!
00:36:51Wait until the Count's guards arrive, they'll send all you cheekbones to the gallows!
00:36:55A crown is a burden of responsibility, not a shield for your crimes.
00:37:00It exists to safeguard the weak and honour the truth.
00:37:03Those 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.
00:37:14Listen to these roars!
00:37:16The people have spoken and the gods have judged!
00:37:19Eric Gray, you are no baron, you are a criminal!
00:37:22Fella, your soul is too rotten to ever be called noble.
00:37:26Shut up!
00:37:28Shut up, you madwoman!
00:37:30Shut up!
00:37:37Who dares to impersonate the Queen here and offend the Magi of the Groves?
00:37:42Get out here and face death!
00:37:53Who dares to impersonate the Queen here and offend the Magi of the Groves?
00:37:58Get out here and face death!
00:38:05Father, you finally came!
00:38:08If you had been a moment later, your daughter would have been eaten alive by these lowly rioters!
00:38:14Who dares?
00:38:15Who dares harm the 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!
00:38:46Burn her alive!
00:38:50Count Grove!
00:38:51How dare she!
00:38:52I'll let my cavalry trample her until she's unrecognisable!
00:38:55I'll flay her alive, inch by inch, and let the whole city hear her finalising cries!
00:38:59No one mocks the Grove name and lives!
00:39:01Where is that bold, lowly peasant leading the riot?
00:39:04Roll out and die!
00:39:08Father, it's that bitch right there.
00:39:14Ma'am, I will take all the blame shortly.
00:39:17You absolutely must not get involved.
00:39:20We don't know each other, yet you have done enough for me.
00:39:22I cannot put you in danger because of me.
00:39:24Good girl.
00:39:26How can you say we don't know each other?
00:39:29We are the closest family.
00:39:32What do you mean?
00:39:35You 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!
00:40:06And you dare impersonate the Queen!
00:40:10Father!
00:40:11She's a fake!
00:40:12She's playing Queen to save that bitch!
00:40:15Arrest her!
00:40:17Make her cruel for what she's done!
00:40:23Grove, you certainly have a good daughter.
00:40:27Disregarding the Empire's laws to wantonly beat and kill my kingdom's subjects.
00:40:33That voice...
00:40:34Sounds so familiar.
00:40:37Like I've heard it somewhere before.
00:40:40My father knows the Queen personally!
00:40:42Your little game is over!
00:40:44Father, speak up!
00:40:46Tell these fools!
00:40:47Is this madwoman really the Queen?
00:40:50When I had an audience with the Queen, there were layers of guards and soldiers.
00:40:54I didn't even dare lift my head.
00:40:56I only heard her voice.
00:40:59That proves it!
00:41:00She's a fake!
00:41:01The Queen's life is too precious!
00:41:03She would never travel without notifying the castles!
00:41:06She wouldn't be here with just a few thugs!
00:41:08Father, why are you waiting?
00:41:10Kill her!
00:41:11Exactly!
00:41:12You lowly commoners remain unrepentant!
00:41:15Guards!
00:41:16Arrest them!
00:41:18Arrest me!
00:41:19Let this lady go!
00:41:25Shereel, stand safely behind me.
00:41:28I will never let you suffer any wrongs, nor will I let these evil people succeed.
00:41:40Protect Her Majesty!
00:41:45Grove,
00:41:47You 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.
00:42:20Even if we are torn to pieces, it won't pacify her anger.
00:42:26Wait, the piece she is holding, it looks exactly like the one I have.
00:42:31They belong together.
00:42:40My family is connected to royalty.
00:42:43This lady, who is she really?
00:42:49Father, look at the Queen.
00:42:51Father, 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!
00:43:13You 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.
00:43:54Too late.
00:43:56None of you are leaving here now.
00:43:59Shereel!
00:44:00Your scam has been exposed!
00:44:02For the sake of our past, I'll ask the Count for a quick death!
00:44:06Confess now!
00:44:07This is the only mercy you'll get!
00:44:10How dare you treat Shereel this way!
00:44:13If it weren't for her, you would never have gotten the chance to be knighted as a baron.
00:44:19My 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-pattern 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, and you betrayed her to climb the social ladder!
00:44:54You 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.
00:45:47That 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!
00:45:58You 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?
00:46:08I 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?
00:46:26The 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.
00:46:48A symbol of nobility.
00:46:50Only trash like you would wear a torn string.
00:46:53Understand the difference now?
00:46:57They showed Ria's my two towns, and we're my neither Riesbiltbush that gold on this board.
00:47:03Even if it wore 500 or 1000 gold beers in your 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 5000 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.
00:47:44What if I destroy it?
00:47:47Will it break your heart?
00:48:00Don't you dare!
00:48:02I'm warning you!
00:48:03If 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!
00:48:19It's over.
00:48:21That 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 of her.
00:48:39Just 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.
00:48:58It's just a worthless torn red string.
00:49:01It's your honor that my daughter burnt it.
00:49:04A torn string.
00:49:07It is worth more than every one of you combined.
00:49:15You 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?
00:50:11You are going to kill me.
00:50:25I'm sorry.
00:50:29My daughter.
00:50:31My daughter.
00:50:33I'm sorry.
00:50:34I'm sorry.
00:50:36Go mourn in prison.
00:50:38Guards, arrest them all!
00:50:44I will completely destroy.
00:50:54That sounds like movement from outside.
00:50:57Every single one of you.
00:51:00An army!
00:51:02It's the royal guard!
00:51:11Why 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!
00:51:38May the royal power shine forever!
00:51:41May the royal power shine forever!
00:51:55May the royal power shine forever!
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 and 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 to the northern ice fields for eternity.
00:52:15Guards!
00:52:16Drag them out of my sight!
00:52:17No!
00:52:19No!
00:52:20No!
00:52:22No!
00:52:23No!
00:52:24No!
00:52:26You betrayed honor and profited from another's suffering.
00:52:30Your deaths would mean nothing.
00:52:31But for the fact that you housed Shereel in her hour of need, I shall spare your lives.
00:52:36That one act of charity is your only salvation.
00:52:40Eric Gray, your title is revoked!
00:52:43You and your kin are commoners now.
00:52:46Confiscate all workshops.
00:52:47You are forbidden from touching the merchant trade forever.
00:52:51Disobey, and the noose will be waiting.
00:52:54This lady who always shielded me behind her and took all the malice for me
00:52:58is actually the supreme queen of the kingdom?
00:53:01Why?
00:53:03Why do I feel she is so kind?
00:53:05So familiar?
00:53:08It was my negligence that allowed nobles to bully the innocent.
00:53:11From now on, I will personally ensure your dignity is never trampled again.
00:53:17Please, rise.
00:53:24May the gods bless your majesty!
00:53:30Your majesty, I meant no offense.
00:53:33I was just so surprised earlier that I forgot to kneel.
00:53:42Your majesty...
00:53:44No, my sweetheart.
00:53:49You never have to bow to me.
00:53:53Your majesty, I don't understand.
00:53:56I owe you too much.
00:53:57Your majesty, what are you talking about?
00:54:01I am just an amnesiac orphan.
00:54:03You have never owed me anything.
00:54:08Your majesty, what exactly does this pendant mean?
00:54:11I have a matching half too.
00:54:13Maybe...
00:54:13Maybe you can help me find my family.
00:54:16Do I have a family?
00:54:18Come back with me.
00:54:20Once you see the palace, you will know everything.
00:54:39Greetings, noble lady.
00:54:46Your majesty, this 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, I would bring all the treasures of the kingdom to lay at your feet.
00:55:03Your majesty, you favor me so much.
00:55:07Does it really have to do with that emblem?
00:55:23What does this mean?
00:55:26Where is my family?
00:55:40This holly pattern, this unique embroidery style, it's exactly the same as what I designed.
00:55:49How is this possible?
00:55:51Good child, look closely at it.
00:55:54Does your heart remember anything?
00:56:01Mom, this is my Christmas gift to you.
00:56:04Hope you will like it.
00:56:06It's beautiful.
00:56:07This is my only precious 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, you have to live on.
00:56:34You, you're okay.
00:56:35It's so good to see you healthy and alive.
00:56:40My little princess.
00:56:45Mom finally found you.
00:56:50Mom, mom, mom.
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, digging in the mud.
00:57:05Is this my life now?
00:57:07Is this all I am?
00:57:09It's her fault.
00:57:10Sheryl ruined everything.
00:57:12Why did she get the velvet throne while we rot in the mud?
00:57:15She was a nobody, and now she's a princess?
00:57:17Stop complaining.
00:57:19The queen not sending us to the gallow is already a huge mercy.
00:57:22We'll never turn our lives around now.
00:57:24No!
00:57:25I won't accept this!
00:57:27Sheryl used to be utterly devoted to me, willing to give me her life.
00:57:30She's just temporarily blinded by the queen's authority.
00:57:33Son, you're right.
00:57:34Shirin loved you deeply.
00:57:36What if you can find a chance to win her heart back?
00:57:40How is that possible?
00:57:41She's the pearl of the crown, now surrounded by guards.
00:57:44We can't even get close to the palace walls.
00:57:46Use her, Erik!
00:57:47She's a princess now, but she's still that stupid girl who loved you.
00:57:52If you can win her back, she'll beg the queen to pardon us.
00:57:55We can leave this stinking ditch and be back nobles again!
00:57:58Right.
00:57:59As long as I can see her deep down, she's still the same stupid girl I can manipulate.
00:58:11My lord, about the matter I asked of you last time, how is it going?
00:58:15Jobs in the palace aren't easy to find.
00:58:18I can't just help anyone unconditionally who asks me.
00:58:25Get lost.
00:58:26You smell like a rotting corpse.
00:58:28This scrap of gold won't get you through the servant's gate.
00:58:30You're too filthy to even sweep the stables.
00:58:32Go back to your ditch.
00:58:34My lord, have mercy.
00:58:36I'm a fast worker.
00:58:37Just give me a smock and let me join the crew.
00:58:39I'll work for scraps of black bread.
00:58:41I promise I'll stay invisible.
00:58:43I won't cause any trouble.
00:58:45I swear on my life.
00:58:46My lord, this is all I have.
00:58:47When I get paid, I will give it all to honor you.
00:58:51Put it on.
00:58:52Go to carry firewood and flour.
00:58:54Listen up.
00:58:55If you disturb the royals, the guards will take your head.
00:58:59The guard will chop your head off and kick it like a ball.
00:59:02Thank you for your grace, my lord.
00:59:08Shia, my dear princess, just wait.
00:59:12Everything you possess now will soon be back under my control.
00:59:22My darling, you need a shield, not just a husband.
00:59:25A knight who will never fail you.
00:59:27And I found him.
00:59:28Your future husband, Duke Eris.
00:59:36Mother, I don't want to get married.
00:59:41Aris returns in triumph from the southern front.
00:59:44He is more than just a brilliant commander.
00:59:46He is a man of honor and a pure soul.
00:59:49He is not like the others, Shirik.
00:59:53A man's vow is like spring ice.
00:59:56It shatters the moment you lean on it.
00:59:58I thought I found love, but 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, that snake's betrayal isn't on you.
01:00:11I will never let anyone force you to do anything against your will.
01:00:14It's just a dinner tonight, one meal.
01:00:16Go meet him.
01:00:17If he's not for you, I'll never bring it up again.
01:00:19I promise.
01:00:21Okay, I'll listen to you.
01:00:23Your Highness, Duke Eris is waiting for you in 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, she'll be mine forever.
01:00:42Even a high-born princess must bow to the sake of the royal reputation.
01:00:46As for that arrogant queen, I'll make her beg me to take her crown.
01:01:00Good evening, Shirelle.
01:01:07This place!
01:01:09Eric?
01:01:10No, impossible.
01:01:12There are heavily armed royal knights outside.
01:01:14How could a stripped common man pass through layers of blockages into the high tower?
01:01:18Who is he?
01:01:19Shh.
01:01:20Don't struggle, my noble princess.
01:01:23Your silk gown is so smooth.
01:01:25I wonder if the body underneath it is even smoother.
01:01:30What a delicate little prey you are.
01:01:32Soon I'll strip every last piece of clothing.
01:01:35And tonight, I'm going to enjoy your royal body.
01:01:45Tonight, I take everything.
01:01:48Your innocence, your pride, and your mother's throne.
01:01:52Once this scandal is done, she'll have no choice but to make me your husband and hand over the keys
01:01:58to the kingdom.
01:02:04Too loud!
01:02:14Get your filthy hands off, her highness!
01:02:19Stay back, or I'll snap her neck.
01:02:22Ahhh!
01:02:29Ahhh!
01:02:31Ah!
01:02:32Oh!
01:02:53I apologize, your highness.
01:02:55You were frightened.
01:02:56I am Aris.
01:02:58When you didn't appear at the banquet, I grew concerned.
01:03:00I overstepped, but I heard sounds of a struggle from the hallway, so I broke the door down.
01:03:06Thank God you're safe.
01:03:09Thank you, Aris.
01:03:11An assassin!
01:03:13Protect her highness!
01:03:14Move!
01:03:24The assassin has fled.
01:03:27Her highness is in no condition to receive visitors.
01:03:30Stand down.
01:03:33Your highness.
01:03:36I wounded the assassin's right arm.
01:03:39He carries that scar.
01:03:40I'll give the guards this lead.
01:03:42We will catch him.
01:03:44I'm scared he'll come back.
01:03:47Starting tomorrow.
01:03:48The finest royal knights guard your door around the clock.
01:03:52No 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-I mean, it's always better to have another skilled warrior nearby.
01:04:14I didn't mean anything else by it.
01:04:24Shereel!
01:04:25Thank God you're safe.
01:04:27Sarah told me a thug broke in.
01:04:29My heart nearly stopped.
01:04:31Mother.
01:04:32I'm fine.
01:04:35Duke Aris broke the door down just in time.
01:04:40That damned throg!
01:04:42Shereel!
01:04:43Did you see who it was?
01:04:46The room was too dark.
01:04:49He stayed in the shadows the whole time.
01:04:51I couldn't see his face.
01:04:53But I pierced his arm.
01:04:56Even without a face, the wound will identify him.
01:05:00Lockdown!
01:05:01Seal every exit!
01:05:03The assassin has a sword wound on his right arm.
01:05:06Turn this palace upside down.
01:05:08Drag him out!
01:05:09Dare to touch my daughter.
01:05:11And I will make sure he dies screaming!
01:05:16Duke Aris.
01:05:17You 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.
01:05:26No thanks required.
01:05:29No, Lord Duke.
01:05:30I want to thank you properly.
01:05:32If you hadn't come,
01:05:34I 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,
01:05:47you need to know how to protect yourself.
01:05:53Since Duke Aris is so skilled,
01:05:56perhaps he should personally teach you defensive sword mastery.
01:06:01I was so close.
01:06:03If that man hadn't burst in...
01:06:09Shereel,
01:06:10next time I get my hands on you,
01:06:11you will beg for mercy.
01:06:13And everything that's mine,
01:06:14I'll take it all back.
01:06:16Did you hear?
01:06:17An assassin broke in.
01:06:18The queen has sealed all exits,
01:06:20not a fly escapes.
01:06:22Duke Aris himself said the assassin has a right arm wound.
01:06:24The royal guard is checking everyone now.
01:06:26Anyone found with an injured arm is killed on the spot.
01:06:28They'll be here any minute.
01:06:39Royal guard investigation.
01:06:41All men on the roster,
01:06:42line up now.
01:06:43Expose your arms.
01:06:44Anyone who resists is treated as an accomplice.
01:06:46Executed on the spot.
01:06:53Why is there a man missing?
01:06:54Sir, it's Eric.
01:06:56He said his stomach hurt
01:06:57and went to the latrine behind the stables.
01:07:22I swear it was the most absurd scene
01:07:23I've ever witnessed in my life.
01:07:26The guy literally faceplant
01:07:28into a barrel full of mucer.
01:07:31And the best part,
01:07:32when the captain went to check his other arm,
01:07:34the idiot was flailing around like a headless chicken,
01:07:37panicked by the captain,
01:07:38and 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
01:08:38because your mind wandered.
01:08:41I understand, Duke Eris.
01:08:45Please continue.
01:09:00Now,
01:09:01let your instincts guide it.
01:09:22Don't rush, your highness.
01:09:24Take everything step by step.
01:09:27I'm sorry.
01:09:28I'm so clumsy at this.
01:09:32You're doing incredibly well.
01:09:35Since swordmanship doesn't come naturally,
01:09:37let's shift to basic combat.
01:09:40How to protect yourself
01:09:41using your center of gravity.
01:09:44No weapon needed.
01:09:56No man does not move,
01:10:00No.
01:10:02No.
01:10:20My lord, report to the duke, every person in the palace has been inspected, no assassin
01:10:32with a wounded right arm found, new command, search every corner, no unidentified person
01:10:39hides inside these walls, yes my lord, duke aris, is he really still here, i keep feeling
01:10:47eyes on me, cold eyes, watching from somewhere dark, your highness, i will find him, and i
01:10:56will personally end him, i trust you, aris, then let's keep training,
01:11:02total strength, unshakable confidence, that's how you survive, if i wasn't being hunted
01:11:16by those dogs, why would i end up rolling in that disgusting manure barrel, this stench,
01:11:24it won't come off, shereal, in that damned night, i will make you both pay for my humiliation,
01:11:42your highness, why did you summon me at this hour, instead of letting this assassin lurk
01:11:48like a snake in the dark, wait to strike whenever he chooses, we should dig his grave ourselves
01:11:54and lure him in, your highness, what are you proposing, i want to take the initiative, what
01:12:05exactly, spread the word that the assassin was caught, then two nights from now i'll go to
01:12:10the prayer room alone to pray, no guards, only two personal maids, so he doesn't get suspicious,
01:12:15no ambush troops, only you, hidden in the dark, absolutely not, that is gambling with your
01:12:21life, eris, living in endless fear, is no life at all, better to let him walk right into
01:12:28the trap we set for him, one thing goes wrong, you could be in real danger, i've learned a
01:12:37lot from you these past few days, nothing will happen, trust me, all right, i'm listening to
01:12:50me, did you hear, they actually caught the assassin,
01:13:04i heard that too, to thank the gods, the princess is going to the prayer room tomorrow night,
01:13:08she's not even taking guards, just one maid, she said she doesn't want to disturb the gods,
01:13:13praying alone, my chance has come,
01:13:24that man we found, the sword wound on his arm, it's from a blade, right, who cares what kind
01:13:29of wound it is, he passed out on a deserted road, if we hadn't found him he'd be dead,
01:13:32when he were getting paid for this, where is he, at the physician's, i will catch him and hand him
01:13:38to
01:13:38me myself, why is the duke in such a hurry, probably concerned about one of his men,
01:13:43i heard that the injured man is part of the royal guard,
01:13:50who are you, i've never seen you before, i was just transferred from the outer court by her majesty,
01:13:55she was worried the prayer room was too cold, she ordered me to bring this tribute incense,
01:13:59so her highness stays alert before the gods,
01:14:03since her majesty requested it, go in,
01:14:15mary didn't i say not to disturb me while i'm confessing,
01:14:18your highness, her majesty is concerned about your health,
01:14:21this incense will help you draw closer to the gods,
01:14:26incense, just leave it there,

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,
01:15:15yes, he got that sword wound over ten days ago,
01:15:19you told him to wrestle,
01:15:20but he collapsed on the road,
01:15:21and was brought here,

01:18:15we can use her reputation against her,
01:18:18and force her to spare our son,
01:18:20the royal family values reputation,
01:18:22above all else,
01:18:23maybe the queen,
01:18:24will even marry sheryl to eric,
01:18:25then our good times will be back,
01:18:27let's do it,
01:18:28we only have a few years left,
01:18:29in 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 to hell with us,
01:18:42God bless you kind princess,
01:18:44I've never seen royalty this approachable,
01:18:47not a trace of noble arrogance in her eyes,
01:18:51Sheryl isn't arrogant,
01:18:53because not long ago,
01:18:54she was just a grubby weaver,
01:18:56dealing in coarse linen all day,
01:18:58you folks probably don't know this,
01:19:00but this noble princess,
01:19:01used to live with our family,
01:19:03no name of her own back then,
01:19:04and her only ambition,
01:19:05was to cling to my son eric,
01:19:07poor thing,
01:19:08to keep her claws in eric,
01:19:09she would use bringing dinner,
01:19:11as an excuse to sneak into a man's bedroom,
01:19:13late at night,
01:19:15she'd stay for hours,
01:19:17and the noises behind that door,
01:19:19holy mother,
01:19:20it was unbearable,
01:19:22could it be,
01:19:22her highness has already been with a man,
01:19:24if she really fooled about,
01:19:26with a commoner man in his bedroom night,
01:19:28that is the greatest stain,
01:19:29on the royal family's reputation,
01:19:43it's been so long,
01:19:45you must be doing well,
01:19:46make the queen stop the execution,
01:19:47now,
01:19:48and announce you'll marry him,
01:19:49or I'll leak every filthy tale,
01:19:51of your intimate nights,
01:19:53the crown won't hesitate,
01:19:54to disown a disgraced heir,
01:19:55shut your mouth,
