00:00:08A mortal dares stand in the way of the Black Marsh.
00:00:15In the name of Olympus, face divine wrath!
00:00:21That thunder, Zeus, you were reborn as a mortal?
00:00:26Kneel before the power of Olympus.
00:00:31You can't save them!
00:00:33The Wendog has already smelled royal blood.
00:00:36Tonight the curse will devour Orion's soul.
00:00:39The royal court will belong to him.
00:00:45That fight drained too much power.
00:00:47I can't force the thunder again anytime soon.
00:00:49Lord Ethan, your former master left this marriage block for you.
00:00:54Lady Seraphina of the Silver Deer Clan can help you reach the heart of Northern Power.
00:00:58I just came back alive from the Black Marsh, and now you bring me a marriage pact?
00:01:03Get to the point. What is the Wendigo?
00:01:05The Wendigo devours souls, corrupts the royal bloodline, and uses a royal body to return.
00:01:20The royal court gave you 10 years. Herbs, offerings, gold, hunting grounds. I gave you everything you asked for.
00:01:28And after all this time, you still don't even know what's wrong with my father.
00:01:31Princess Alara, please show mercy! King Orion's condition is unlike anything we've ever seen. There is nothing we can do!
00:01:38Failing to cure him is not the crime. Lying to this court is.
00:01:42Orin, send the Royal Blood Oath Decree to the forests, the Lake Clans, the Wastelands, and the Western Tribes.
00:01:49As you command.
00:01:50Whoever saves my father will be bound to me by a royal marriage pact.
00:01:54The royal court's granaries, the northern hunting grounds, the salt mines, and three fur trade routes will all be his.
00:02:00Princess Alara, once that decree goes out, every clan will come for you.
00:02:04Then let them come.
00:02:06If my father wakes, I will stake the entire royal court on it.
00:02:10The Black Marsh spirit is dead, but the curse remains. Someone here brought the Wendau in.
00:02:16Orin, whatever it takes, find someone who can save my father.
00:02:20Princess Lyra, the Blood Oath Decree has already gone out.
00:02:24Hold on.
00:02:27Stranger, who are you?
00:02:29Ethan, a forest healer.
00:02:31The royal court needs someone who can save the king, not a wandering healer selling tricks at the gate.
00:02:37Ten years ago, your father collapsed once at the Black Marsh border.
00:02:43Since then, every new moon and full moon, he falls into a coma.
00:02:47Tonight, once the moon rises, the Wendau curse will eat through his life force.
00:02:51How do you know that?
00:02:52Because this is not an illness. It is the Wendau's curse.
00:02:58One step too late, and the man you're trying to save won't be a king.
00:03:02He'll be a corpse.
00:03:06You're saying my father is cursed?
00:03:09The Black Marsh Wendigo feeds on souls.
00:03:12The king has no wound on his body, but his soul is being eaten piece by piece.
00:03:17For ten years, the royal court has called healers from every land, and none of them dared make that claim.
00:03:23Why should we believe a stranger with a bag of herbs?
00:03:25Because I just came back from the Black Marsh.
00:03:29These coins are enough to get you out of the Borderlands.
00:03:31If you're just trying to survive, go now, and I'll pretend we never met.
00:03:38You're kind, but kindness won't save you.
00:03:41What is that supposed to mean?
00:03:42Every month, the pain comes back.
00:03:44Around the full moon, it burns so badly you can barely breathe.
00:03:48Princess?
00:03:49You and your father carry the same Black Marsh curse.
00:03:51You're young, so you can still endure it.
00:03:53King Oron won't last past her moon, Rice.
00:03:55Can you really save him?
00:03:56Yes.
00:03:59Fine. I'll take you in.
00:04:01If you remember this, you lie to me and my sister will make sure you die inside the royal court.
00:04:06Lead the way.
00:04:11Father, when you led the Northern clans into the Black Marsh, everyone lowered their heads at the sound of Ash's
00:04:17war horn.
00:04:18Now every enemy is watching the royal court.
00:04:21If you don't wake up, I'll have no choice but to offer myself through the royal blood oath decree.
00:04:26I'm not afraid of marrying a stranger.
00:04:28I'm afraid you'll never wake up.
00:04:37Princess Alara, we can cure King Orion.
00:04:45Princess Alara, don't lose hope.
00:04:47I can save King Orion.
00:04:50I am Salona, High Healer of Bonecraft.
00:04:54At your service, Princess Alara.
00:04:56This is Mira, a Master of Sacred Runes.
00:04:59And Rowan, a Spirit Curse Healer.
00:05:01Welcome, healers.
00:05:03We came in responses to the royal blood oath decree.
00:05:07Princess Alara, if we wake King Orion, will we truly receive the granaries, the northern hunting grounds, the salt mines,
00:05:14and the fur trade routes?
00:05:15I do not break my word.
00:05:18Then you have nothing to fear, Princess.
00:05:20With me here, the King will wake.
00:05:23Then I place my father's life in your hands.
00:05:26I've heard Mira never needs more than three runes.
00:05:29Let's see if that legend holds.
00:05:31The more runes I can bear, the stronger the healing I can channel.
00:05:34An ordinary patient needs one.
00:05:37A gravely wounded royal needs three at most.
00:05:40The runes show the King's body is unharmed.
00:05:45But his life force is almost gone.
00:05:48I have practiced healing for decades.
00:05:50I've never seen a condition like this.
00:05:53Mira, I gave you the first chance, and you wasted it.
00:05:57Step aside.
00:05:58Three breaths.
00:05:59That is all I need to wake the King.
00:06:01Then please begin.
00:06:03My father's life depends on you.
00:06:08His breathing is steady.
00:06:10But the life inside him is nearly gone.
00:06:15Even my bone healing arts cannot wake him.
00:06:19Forgive me, Princess Alara.
00:06:21Even the high healer of Bonecraft can do nothing?
00:06:24Princess Alara, don't lose hope yet.
00:06:27They may not see the answer.
00:06:30I still can.
00:06:37I can bring the King back from the edge of death.
00:06:40This is my clan's strongest curse pearl.
00:06:43If King Orian has even one breath left, I can pull him back.
00:06:53Stop.
00:06:58You dare interrupt the King's healer?
00:07:00Do you have any idea where you are?
00:07:03Sister, his name is Ethan.
00:07:06He said he can cure father.
00:07:08So I brought him in to try.
00:07:10This is not a village market.
00:07:11A wandering healer has no place near the King's bed.
00:07:14A forest healer in a ragged cloak thinks he can decide King Orian's fate?
00:07:19Sister, I didn't believe him at first either.
00:07:21But the moment he saw me, he knew about the pain I've been hiding.
00:07:24He isn't an ordinary healer.
00:07:26He understands healing arts and he can see curse energy.
00:07:29Father won't survive until nightfall.
00:07:31I can't just stand here and wait for the ancestors to take him.
00:07:34Princess Alara, three healers from the sacred altar are standing right here.
00:07:38Bringing in an outsider is not seeking help.
00:07:41It is an insult.
00:07:42He doesn't even carry a complete sacred mark.
00:07:44A man like that can't summon sacred light.
00:07:47You checked his breathing.
00:07:49But you missed the real curse.
00:07:51Your light can heal flesh.
00:07:53It can't reach a soul that has already been hollowed out.
00:07:59The royal court would rather trust a stranger from the forest.
00:08:02Then we have no reason to accept this royal blood oak decree.
00:08:05Rowan, please stay!
00:08:07Your name has reached the west bank and even the north.
00:08:10I believe you can wake my father.
00:08:12As for him, remove this man from the king's chamber.
00:08:18Guards!
00:08:18Take him out of the royal court!
00:08:23Sister!
00:08:24They can't hurt me.
00:08:26If Princess Alara refuses to listen, I'll leave.
00:08:28But after I'm gone, King Orion will not survive tonight's moonrise.
00:08:34When that happens, not even the gods above will be able to pull his soul back!
00:08:39Trying to scare us with old ancestor tales now?
00:08:42I doubt you can even say what illness King Orion has.
00:08:45Of course I can't.
00:08:46Because King Orion is not sick at all.
00:08:53King Orion has been unconscious on that bed, and you claim he isn't sick?
00:08:57Lying in front of a king takes nerve.
00:08:59You're just a wandering healer trying to make your name through the royal decree.
00:09:04Ethan!
00:09:06If you can save father, prove it now.
00:09:09If my sister's oath is not enough, I am willing to join the same marriage pact with you.
00:09:15So that's it.
00:09:17You came for the marriage pact and the royal court's lands.
00:09:20With the three of us here today, we'll expose him for what he is,
00:09:23and show the royal court that healing arts are not something anyone can fake.
00:09:27I thought you simply couldn't break the curse.
00:09:30I didn't realize you couldn't even see it.
00:09:32He is under the ancient Wendigo curse.
00:09:34The Wendigo curse?
00:09:35What is that?
00:09:36An ancient evil spirit from the depths of the Black Marsh.
00:09:39It feeds on souls, fear, greed, and the blood of kings.
00:09:45At first, the cursed person sleeps, fears the cold, and dreams of black antlers.
00:09:50Then the soul is eaten away piece by piece.
00:09:53Once the soul is gone, he may never truly wake again.
00:09:56The Wendor will wear the king's body and sit on his throne.
00:09:59Then the border royal court will fall into chaos.
00:10:01Every clan will turn on the others.
00:10:04Impossible.
00:10:04You expect the Ash Court to believe that story just because you said it?
00:10:09Princess Alara, remove him at once.
00:10:11The royal decreed and the honor of the Ash Court cannot be dragged down by some wandering fraud.
00:10:17But father's symptoms match everything he said.
00:10:23Ethan, please save my father!
00:10:25Don't touch him yet.
00:10:27According to the old altar scrolls, the Wendig curse is forbidden magic from the deepest part of the Black Marsh.
00:10:34But that curse was sealed inside the Black Marsh 50 years ago by the northern clans.
00:10:38It should not exist anymore.
00:10:40How would a forest healer know about it?
00:10:42Princess Alara, I suspect he was sent by the Black Marsh.
00:10:45He may be the one who brought this curse into the royal court.
00:10:47A fraud like him should be hanged.
00:10:50Ethan, who are you really?
00:10:52Princess Alara, trust me and I will save the king.
00:10:55Refuse me and I walk out of the royal court.
00:10:57Sister, if he were with the Black Marsh he would not have stopped Rowan's curse pearl.
00:11:02The three healers have no answer.
00:11:04Right now he is our only chance.
00:11:06If Princess Alara trusts a fraud, the royal court may pay the price for it.
00:11:11But in ten years no one has ever named my father's symptoms this clearly.
00:11:17Ethan, I'll give you one chance.
00:11:21For Princess Lyra's trust, I will save King Orion.
00:11:27This room is not safe for removing the curse.
00:11:29If you want him saved, Princess Alara must come with me to the royal bedroom.
00:11:35I knew it.
00:11:37You were never here to save the king.
00:11:39You had your eyes on the princess from the start.
00:11:41I have trained at the sacred altar for years.
00:11:44I have never heard of a cure that must be performed away from everyone else.
00:11:47Princess Alara, he's using the king's illness as an excuse to get close to you.
00:11:51To draw the Wendigo out, I need someone from his bloodline.
00:11:53When royal blood is near, the curse will leave King Orion.
00:11:56If anyone interferes, the curse will panic and panic finish consuming what's left of the king's soul.
00:12:02Absurd!
00:12:05You lying fraud!
00:12:07I'll expose you right now!
00:12:11Not bad for curse work.
00:12:13Too bad you're not strong enough.
00:12:15Ethan, I'm father's daughter too.
00:12:17Can my bloodline draw the curse out?
00:12:19Yes.
00:12:20Sister, let me go.
00:12:22As long as father wakes, I'll accept any punishment, even if I'm dragged through the streets in chains.
00:12:27You're not going.
00:12:28Sister!
00:12:29Sister, I am your older sister and I am the one holding this court together.
00:12:33It should be me.
00:12:34Oren, take six ironclad knights and guard the door.
00:12:37If anything happens to me, seize Ethan immediately.
00:12:40As you command.
00:12:41If I don't come out, you take control of Ash Royal Court.
00:12:44Put your hands where they don't belong and I'll kill you before I go to my father.
00:12:47I only save lives.
00:12:49Take the king to the royal bedroom.
00:12:50We begin before moonrise.
00:12:52Until the ritual is over, no one enters.
00:12:57If that door opens, the curse will be startled.
00:13:00King Orion will die.
00:13:02What do I do?
00:13:04Take off your robe.
00:13:06What?
00:13:08Say that again.
00:13:10Remove the outer robe.
00:13:12Unfasten the silver bone belt.
00:13:15Ethan, I gave you a chance to save the king, not a chance to insult my family.
00:13:23The Wendigo follows royal blood.
00:13:25That is how we draw it out.
00:13:27The more you are covered, the harder it is for the curse to sense your bloodline.
00:13:32It won't come out.
00:13:33Every word you say had better be true.
00:13:48See that?
00:13:52Is that enough?
00:13:54Not yet.
00:13:55Move closer to the fire.
00:14:01It senses you.
00:14:04Then let it come out.
00:14:06My body still can't withstand the thunder, but divine light should be enough.
00:14:11If it hurts, make a sound.
00:14:15Save the advice.
00:14:16Blood of the crown, draw it out.
00:14:21Soul flame, hold it here.
00:14:24It's looking at me.
00:14:26Don't let it reach your eyes.
00:14:28Leave her!
00:14:31Ethan, hurry.
00:14:34Come out!
00:14:45Princess Lyra, Princess Lyra is locked inside the royal bedroom with an outsider.
00:14:50Are you truly not worried?
00:14:53My sister gave her order.
00:14:55Until the ritual ends, no one enters.
00:14:57Princess Lyra is the current ruler of the royal court.
00:15:00If anything happens to her, Ash royal court will fall apart.
00:15:03Princess Lyra, aren't you afraid he'll take advantage of your sister?
00:15:08My sister trusts him.
00:15:09So do I.
00:15:14Sister!
00:15:15Princess Lyra, did you hear that?
00:15:17That outsider may be hurting Princess Alara.
00:15:19The royal family can still save its honor.
00:15:22Stop him now before it is too late.
00:15:24If you keep waiting, the entire Ash royal court will regret it.
00:15:28Until the ritual is over, no one enters.
00:15:32My sister said no one enters before the ritual ends.
00:15:35I trust my sister.
00:15:36No one can force her into anything.
00:15:40Sister?
00:15:41You heard that.
00:15:42That does not sound like healing.
00:15:45The High Princess's bedchamber is no place for a filthy peasant to satisfy his sick desires.
00:15:51If you don't go in now, it will be too late.
00:15:59Princess Lyra, Princess Alara may already be in danger.
00:16:03Without Princess Alarsa's order, the door stays closed.
00:16:09If I don't come out, you take control of Ash royal court.
00:16:13Oren.
00:16:14Princess Lyra.
00:16:15Open the door.
00:16:16But Princess Alara said...
00:16:18I am in command of the Ash court now.
00:16:21Open it.
00:16:26Stand back!
00:16:41Sister!
00:16:42Careful!
00:16:44Come out!
00:16:47Sorry.
00:16:48Look at me.
00:16:50Don't look at it.
00:16:57Now!
00:17:01Sister!
00:17:02Ethan, let go of the Princess.
00:17:04Now!
00:17:09Take your hands off me!
00:17:12The ancient Wendigo curse has truly returned.
00:17:16The Black Marsh seal could not have broken on its own.
00:17:18Someone inside the royal court released the Wendigo.
00:17:23Sister, are you hurt?
00:17:26Who told you to come in?
00:17:27I hurt.
00:17:28Princess Alara, we all saw what happened.
00:17:31That outsider removed your robe and put his hands on you.
00:17:34Sister, did he really save you?
00:17:35The curse was going from my eyes.
00:17:37He saved me.
00:17:40The curse is gone.
00:17:42Why has my father not woken up?
00:17:44His soul needs time to return.
00:17:46When the Cedar Fire dies down for the third time, he'll wake.
00:17:49Easy to say.
00:17:50And if he doesn't wake?
00:17:51If he doesn't wake,
00:17:53the Wendrig will rip this entire court apart
00:17:56and destroy all of us.
00:17:58This matter is finished.
00:18:01Finished?
00:18:01I still have an old marriage pact to settle.
00:18:04Marriage contract?
00:18:05You crossed a line with Princess Alara
00:18:07and now you think you can leave?
00:18:09Until the king wakes,
00:18:10you are not taking one step out of here.
00:18:13Before King Aryan wakes,
00:18:14you'd better stay.
00:18:15Otherwise, I can't promise you'll leave this room alive.
00:18:18If I want to leave,
00:18:19no one here can stop me.
00:18:22Stop.
00:18:24Stop.
00:18:24Stop.
00:18:26Father!
00:18:27Father is awake!
00:18:30Who is this?
00:18:32You weren't sick.
00:18:33You were under a Wendigo curse.
00:18:35A Wendog curse?
00:18:39Ethan removed the curse and saved your life.
00:18:43You're young, but your healing is extraordinary.
00:18:47Bring it in.
00:18:48This seal grants rights to the salt mines
00:18:51and this is the Border Court's Blackstone Token.
00:18:54With this token,
00:18:55you will be treated as an honored guest of the crown.
00:18:58Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:18:59You saved my life, Ethan.
00:19:01Please accept this small token of gratitude.
00:19:06You are too kind, Your Majesty.
00:19:08I don't save people because of rank.
00:19:10I save them because I choose to.
00:19:11Since you have saved my father,
00:19:13I will honor my promise.
00:19:16I will honor the royal marriage pact with you.
00:19:19Princess Alara, I appreciate your kindness,
00:19:22but I am already bound by an ancient marriage pact
00:19:24with Lady Serafina of the Silver Stag Clan.
00:19:26The appointed time is almost here.
00:19:28I should leave.
00:19:32It seems you and Ethan were not meant for each other.
00:19:35If that is so, I will not force him to stay.
00:19:37Ethan, from now on, whenever you need anything,
00:19:41the Border Court will stand with you.
00:19:43There is one thing I need your help with.
00:19:46The Border Court has power and reach.
00:19:48Help me find the one who released the Wendog curse.
00:19:51Help me put an end to that person
00:19:52and bring peace back to the Northern Clans.
00:19:54I will.
00:19:55I swear I will find whoever did this.
00:19:58I'll take my leave.
00:20:01Your Majesty, since you are safe now,
00:20:04we will leave you to rest.
00:20:05The three healers have done their part.
00:20:07Prepare a generous gift for each of them.
00:20:12Father, the curse has only just been lifted.
00:20:14You should rest.
00:20:15I can investigate where the Wendog curse came from.
00:20:18Alara, in the North, there has only ever been one enemy.
00:20:21The Black Raven Clan.
00:20:23In the North, only the Black Raven Clan stands as an equal to our court.
00:20:27But I never thought they would dare curse me under my own roof.
00:20:31Then it is time we settle the score.
00:20:34Wait!
00:20:35What is it?
00:20:36Ethan said he has an ancient marriage pact with Lady Serafina of the Silver Stag Clan.
00:20:40But tonight, the Silver Stag Clan's marriage pact is with Cassian,
00:20:43heir of the Black Raven Clan.
00:20:46Don't panic.
00:20:47The Black Raven Clan may have brought trouble on itself this time.
00:20:51Father, why do you say that?
00:20:53A hundred years ago, the Black Marsh curse was burned away by the thunder of the old gods.
00:20:58Few people now even know of the Wendigo curse, let alone how to break it.
00:21:01But Ethan, young as he is, saw the curse and pulled my soul back from the Black Marsh.
00:21:08He carries ancient thunder power.
00:21:10Ancient thunder?
00:21:11He really isn't an ordinary forest healer.
00:21:13Behind him there may be a god.
00:21:16If the Silver Stag Clan truly holds his old marriage pact,
00:21:19then they have a blessing they may never deserve.
00:21:21The Silver Stag Clan has grown weak over the years.
00:21:25All they know is how to bow to stronger clans.
00:21:28The Black Raven Clan controls the northern trade roads and iron mines.
00:21:31They have grown so arrogant they have forgotten the Ash Court.
00:21:34The Silver Stag Clan will reject Ethan when he arrives.
00:21:37I'll go help him.
00:21:46The Silver Stag Clan finally bet the nay.
00:21:49Marrying into the Black Raven Clan is Seraphina's good fortune.
00:21:51I heard she already had an old marriage pact.
00:21:53A pact from years ago.
00:21:54That won't stop the Black Raven Clan.
00:22:20I heard Seraphina made an old marriage pact years ago.
00:22:23Then why is she entering a marriage alliance with the Black Raven clan tonight?
00:22:27The Black Raven clan controls the northern iron mines and trade roads.
00:22:31Who would dare refuse them?
00:22:32For a small clan, tying themselves to Black Raven is an opportunity others would kill for.
00:22:40My daughter Serafina was indeed saved by an outsider years ago.
00:22:44And the old chief of the Verstair clan did arrange an old marriage pact for her.
00:22:47But the man who swore that oath is long dead.
00:22:49As chief of the Verstair clan, I will not allow anyone to use an old pact to trade on our
00:22:53name.
00:22:54The Silverstag clan is using Black Raven to survive while abandoning an old oath.
00:22:58Everyone should look carefully at whose banner hangs here before speaking.
00:23:02The Silverstag clan cannot afford Black Raven's wrath, and neither can any of you.
00:23:06If that forest haemur does not show up, the old oath can still keep what little dignity it has left.
00:23:12If he dares come, Black Raven will crush him into the mud.
00:23:17Who said they would crush me into the mud?
00:23:23Who are you?
00:23:24My name is Ethan. I have come to fulfill my marriage pact with Serafina.
00:23:30I didn't think you would actually dare come.
00:23:33A wandering healer from the Black Marsh border really thinks he can enter a marriage pact with Serafina?
00:23:37Even a mud-soaked nobody thinks he can look up at a silver gare now.
00:23:43Ethan, since you came, I'll make this clear.
00:23:46Your old marriage pact with Serafina is void.
00:23:48I, Aldric, declare it.
00:23:50Do you know the old Silverstag chief begged for this pact before the ancestral altar?
00:23:54The Silverstag clan is no longer what it was 16 years ago.
00:23:59Today, the Silverstag clan has tied itself to Black Raven.
00:24:02What are you, a wandering healer, compared to that?
00:24:04Our Serafina is going to marry Cassian, heir of the Black Raven clan.
00:24:08And you, some border healer with a medicine bag, think you can cling to her with an old pact?
00:24:12Look at yourself. Mud, blood, and poverty all over you.
00:24:19So the stray dog found a bigger kennel. No wonder it barks so loudly.
00:24:26Ethan, I'm warning you. Don't push this too far.
00:24:30You are just holding an old pact someone handed you, trying to force your way into the Silverstag clan.
00:24:36The Silverstag clan does not want to humiliate you completely.
00:24:40Take these coins and crawl back to the Black Marsh border.
00:24:44Ethan, someone shoved that old plot into your hands.
00:24:47That does not mean Serafina must marry you.
00:24:50The old chief who made that oath is dead.
00:24:53The Silverstag clan now answers to Aldric.
00:24:55You clearly don't understand.
00:24:57This pact carries a blood oath sworn before the ancestors and the old gods.
00:25:01Break it, and thunder will answer.
00:25:03The Silverstag clan will pay in blood.
00:25:07Thunder will answer? Really?
00:25:09Ridiculous.
00:25:10Stop hiding behind old gods and dead men.
00:25:13Tonight this pact dies.
00:25:15And we can afford the price.
00:25:17Does Lady Serafina think the same?
00:25:30The Silverstag clan will pay in blood.
00:25:35Ethan, you should not have come today.
00:25:40Lady Serafina, you also think I came here to use the Silverstag name?
00:25:45What else would it be?
00:25:48The Silverstag clan is returning to power.
00:25:51Now we are forming a marriage alliance with the Black Raven clan.
00:25:55You came dragging out an old pact from years ago because you want to use our name to force your
00:25:59way into northern robility.
00:26:01This old marriage pact exists, yes, but it was an old oath left by the former chief.
00:26:05The man who swore it is dead.
00:26:07Now my father rules the Silverstag clan, and I have already agreed to marry Cassian, heir of the Black Raven
00:26:12clan.
00:26:13He can bring the Silverstag clan back into northern power.
00:26:15You are nothing.
00:26:16You cannot give the Silverthor clan a future.
00:26:18I will be the Lady of Black Raven Hulk.
00:26:20And you are just a wandering healer from the Black Marsh border.
00:26:23The entire north stands between us.
00:26:25I have never seen someone make betrayal sound so dignified.
00:26:29Ethan, who do you think you are?
00:26:31You have no right to lecture the Silverstag clan.
00:26:34I would rather marry a dog from the stables than marry a man like you!
00:26:40You're just a border healer from the Black Marsh, and you really think the gods chose you?
00:26:45And you dream of marrying my daughter?
00:26:47Wake up!
00:26:48This pact was sworn by the Silverstag ancestors themselves.
00:26:51I did not come today to beg for your approval.
00:26:54I came to end this pact.
00:26:56Today, I withdraw from this pact.
00:26:58Once I severed it, the Silverstag clan will bear the consequences.
00:27:01Your banner will fall, and your bloodline will suffer.
00:27:05At my daughter's wedding feast, a border healer dares curse the Silverthor clan?
00:27:09Guards!
00:27:10Drag him out!
00:27:14Your disaster is already here, and you are still laughing.
00:27:19Ethan, enough!
00:27:20He brought this on himself.
00:27:32Someone is causing trouble inside Black Raven Keep?
00:27:38Let's see how a border healer plans to bring disaster on the Silverstag bloodline.
00:27:44On this land, there are nobles, vassals, and gutter-borne trash.
00:27:49The Black Raven clan stands at the top.
00:27:52The Silverthag clan is noble.
00:27:54And you, a border healer from the Black Marsh, think you can step into a noble wedding feast?
00:28:00Do you even deserve it?
00:28:02Who are you?
00:28:04Cassian of the Black Raven clan!
00:28:08Never heard of you.
00:28:10Do you have a death wish?
00:28:12Be smart.
00:28:13Cancel the contract and get out of Black Raven Heap.
00:28:15Otherwise, I'll skin you and hang you on the Black Raven Gate.
00:28:23A pact witnessed by ancient thunder is not yours to touch.
00:28:28The Divine Thunder Healer's old oath, and a border healer like you thinks you can claim it?
00:28:33Cassian, who is the Divine Thunder Healer?
00:28:37The Divine Thunder Healer is the source of ancient healing arts.
00:28:41Legend says that power came from Zeus, King of Olympus.
00:28:45They say he hides in the ruins of Olympus.
00:28:47He can bring souls back and decide life or death.
00:28:50He can also summon thunder and cleanse Black Marsh curses.
00:28:56In the North, that name is forbidden.
00:29:03Sadly, that kind of power would never fall on a border healer from the Black Marsh.
00:29:11The Divine Thunder Healer?
00:29:15Does that power really exist?
00:29:21And this contract?
00:29:23Anyone who falsely invokes the Divine Thunder Healer and offends the old gods of Olympus will suffer divine backlash.
00:29:28Even a royal bloodline can wither.
00:29:30Their banner will fall.
00:29:32If you steal Thunder's name, True Thunder will come to judge you.
00:29:36You're making it sound more dramatic than it is.
00:29:39But my healing is a little stronger than in ordinary healers.
00:29:44I was talking about the Divine Thunder Healer.
00:29:47What does that have to do with you?
00:29:48Ethan, if you don't leave now, I really won't be able to protect you.
00:29:53Serafina, the former Silver Stag chief, begged for this pack at the old god's altar.
00:29:57He knelt for seven days to secure it.
00:30:00It was a lifeline for the Silver Stag clan.
00:30:02And this is how you treat it?
00:30:03Today, I, Serafina, turn my back on this old oath.
00:30:11What can you do about it?
00:30:15I will be the one to break this pact.
00:30:22We're destroying this worthless pact today.
00:30:25What are you going to do about it?
00:30:28Hmph.
00:30:29The pact is broken.
00:30:32Zeus' punishment begins now.
00:30:37You really believe your own act, don't you?
00:30:42You think you're Zeus, Riorne?
00:30:45Zeus' punishment?
00:30:47The Silver Stag clan is rising with Black Raven.
00:30:49You are the one waving around a torn old pact and scamming people.
00:30:52If anyone deserves punishment, it's you.
00:30:54Please.
00:30:55You spent too much time at the Black Marsh border,
00:30:57and now you think you can call down divine punishment?
00:31:03Ethan, open your eyes and watch closely.
00:31:06From this day on, I stand under the Black Raven banner.
00:31:09No one in the north can touch me.
00:31:11Even if Zeus' punishment exists, what can it do to the Silver Stag clan?
00:31:14Zeus' punishment has already begun.
00:31:19Every member of the Silver Stag clan carries the curse.
00:31:22You're hopeless.
00:31:23The Silver Stag hunting grounds will fall.
00:31:26Your clan treasury will be empty.
00:31:29The salt mines, mountain roads, and fur trade routes will all be lost.
00:31:36The Silver Stag clan is not some easy target.
00:31:39Who are you, a border healer, to threaten me with loss?
00:31:43The Silver Stag clan could crush you without effort.
00:31:47Ethan, this is all about money, isn't it?
00:31:49There's a full bag of gold coins in here.
00:31:52Enough for you to live on for the rest of your life.
00:31:57Take the money and leave.
00:31:59Don't delay my wedding with Lady Serafina.
00:32:04Stop it.
00:32:05You've seen one corner of the world and think you own the sky.
00:32:10The Black Raven clan rules the north.
00:32:12If I want you dead, no one here will dare keep you alive.
00:32:16You're already at death's door, and you're still talking.
00:32:39Princess Alara!
00:32:42Speak.
00:32:43News from Black Raven Keep.
00:32:45Cassian publicly humiliated Ethan at the wedding feast.
00:32:48Cassian?
00:32:49The Silver Stag clan also tore up the old marriage bat in public and tried to drive Ethan out of
00:32:54the keep.
00:32:54They dared insult Ethan?
00:32:56They must have a death wish.
00:32:57To Black Raven Holt.
00:32:59Now.
00:33:01Even with death staring you in the face, you still act tough.
00:33:06Today, I'll teach you how the north works.
00:33:15Zeus's punishment has begun.
00:33:20Zeus's punishment really happened.
00:33:22Could he really be Zeus reborn?
00:33:25The Silver Stag clan offended Zeus reborn.
00:33:27They're finished, aren't they?
00:33:29Impossible!
00:33:30Zeus is the king of Olympus.
00:33:32Even Black Raven only knows his name from legend.
00:33:34How could this man possibly be Zeus?
00:33:38In front of me, the Black Raven clan is nothing but small men pretending to be kings.
00:33:43Ethan!
00:33:44What did you do to us?
00:33:47This is Zeus's punishment.
00:33:49You'd better start making peace with your gods.
00:33:52You're not leaving!
00:33:53I'll cut you down myself!
00:33:55The healer Phelan has arrived.
00:34:07Ethan.
00:34:08Phelan is one of the north's sacred healers.
00:34:11He serves the Black Raven clan.
00:34:12He has saved more lives than you've ever touched.
00:34:15With him here, your cheap tricks mean nothing.
00:34:18Master Healer Phelan is here.
00:34:20We're saved!
00:34:27I came with a gift.
00:34:28To celebrate the wedding of Cassian, heir of the Black Raven clan.
00:34:32Celebrate what?
00:34:33My bride's whole family was nearly killed by this border healer.
00:34:36Look at them.
00:34:37Now!
00:34:38Someone dares harm Lord Cassier's bride and her family at his own wedding feast.
00:34:42Bold!
00:34:42I'll warn you once, stay out of this.
00:34:44You can't save them, and you don't want to get dragged in.
00:34:47You look like you've studied healing for a few years.
00:34:49Too bad your heart is rotten.
00:34:51You dare curse people at Lord Cassian's wedding feast.
00:34:54Ethan, your cheap little tricks are nothing before Master Healer Phelan.
00:34:58Some people only learn when death is at their door.
00:35:01First Holy Seal.
00:35:03Open the body.
00:35:04Sacred Light.
00:35:06Drive out the curse!
00:35:08Second Holy Seal.
00:35:09Steady the soul.
00:35:11Life.
00:35:11Return to the body.
00:35:13Third Holy Seal.
00:35:15Lock the darkness.
00:35:17Turn back death.
00:35:18Bind the soul.
00:35:26Lord Cassian, the Holy Seals are complete.
00:35:29They're safe now.
00:35:31I really feel fine.
00:35:33I don't feel any pain at all.
00:35:35Master Healer, Phelan, your power is extraordinary.
00:35:38Ethan, this is real healing.
00:35:39A border healer like you can't compare.
00:35:42After coughing up that black blood, I feel so much lighter.
00:35:45The pain is gone too.
00:35:47Thank you, Master Healer Phelan.
00:35:49Your healing is unmatched.
00:35:52Lady Myra, your family were merely under a dark curse.
00:35:56I've suppressed it with Holy Seals.
00:35:58You're all fine now.
00:35:59Thank you, Master Healer Phelan.
00:36:02Ethan, you despicable border fraud.
00:36:05You dared put a dark curse on us?
00:36:07Kneel and apologize.
00:36:08Now!
00:36:10Master Healer Phelan has already exposed your little curse trick.
00:36:13Now it's time we settle our score.
00:36:15Exactly.
00:36:16You people truly are shameless.
00:36:18So now that you've been exposed, you're lashing out?
00:36:21I am Zeus Reborn.
00:36:22I don't rely on cheap curses.
00:36:26He only delayed Zeus' punishment for one minute.
00:36:32Stop trying to scare us.
00:36:34Give up now.
00:36:35Otherwise, I'll make sure there's nothing left of you.
00:36:39Your Holy Seals have some use.
00:36:42But Zeus' punishment cannot be undone.
00:36:45Young man, I admit your curse work is not bad.
00:36:48Too bad you chose the wrong path.
00:36:50All you know is how to scare people with cheap curses.
00:36:55Zeus may be the legendary king of gods, and his punishment may be feared.
00:37:00But no one alive has truly seen it.
00:37:03Every curse can be contained.
00:37:04Today, I'll show you.
00:37:06You'd better come over here and apologize.
00:37:09Otherwise, I'll teach you how to crawl like a dog.
00:37:14You're not worth my time.
00:37:18I'll talk.
00:37:20Lord Cassian, don't dirty your hands with this arrogant fool.
00:37:23Let me handle him.
00:37:24Leave him alive.
00:37:25I'm not done playing yet.
00:37:28Zeus' punishment begins in 30 seconds.
00:37:30Still playing God?
00:37:32I've practiced healing for over 30 years.
00:37:35I've seen every kind of trick.
00:37:37I'll seal your body and leave you crippled.
00:37:39Let's see how long you keep talking.
00:37:43Looks like Master Healing is serious now.
00:37:45That Border Healer is finished.
00:37:47What a shame.
00:37:48He's still young.
00:37:49He chose the wrong road.
00:37:50He brought this on himself.
00:37:52Ten seconds.
00:37:53At least you can count down to your own death.
00:37:58Three.
00:38:00First Holy Seal.
00:38:02Lock his legs.
00:38:15Second Holy Seal.
00:38:17Lock your throat.
00:38:18Let's see you keep playing God now.
00:38:21Third Holy Seal.
00:38:23Seal your whole body.
00:38:25Punish your arrogance.
00:38:27Kneel.
00:38:28One.
00:38:38This is impossible.
00:38:41You Border Healer.
00:38:42What did you do to me?
00:38:44Zeus' punishment cannot be reversed.
00:38:46Know your place.
00:38:51Is this Zeus' punishment?
00:38:55You really are Zeus Reborn?
00:39:03What happened to Master Healer Felon was too strange.
00:39:06Was that really Zeus' punishment?
00:39:09Legend says Zeus commands thunder and rules life and death.
00:39:13Master Healer Felon dared stand against Zeus.
00:39:15No wonder this happened to him.
00:39:18Zeus?
00:39:19Him?
00:39:20Everyone, you've been fooled by his Black Marsh sorcery.
00:39:23Zeus' punishment?
00:39:23It's a scare tactic.
00:39:24That was clearly a forbidden Black Marsh spell, a lost curse technique.
00:39:27He is not Zeus.
00:39:28He is a Black Marsh heretic.
00:39:30That's right.
00:39:31My grandfather once spoke of the Black Marsh calamities.
00:39:34Those dark arts are known for disguising themselves as divine punishment.
00:39:37He used Black Marsh sorcery to impersonate Zeus.
00:39:40The Black Marks on the ground are proof.
00:39:42A man like this must be driven out of the North.
00:39:46Master Healer Felon served Black Roven for years and saved countless noble bloodlines.
00:39:52And today, he was harmed by a Black Marsh heretic.
00:39:55If we allow a heretic like this to run free, today Master Healer Felon falls.
00:40:01Tomorrow it could be all of you.
00:40:03And your clans.
00:40:07Your parents, your wives, your children.
00:40:10He'll come for all of them.
00:40:13Are you done?
00:40:18Zeus' punishment owes you no explanation.
00:40:24Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:26Protect the North!
00:40:28Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:30Protect the North!
00:40:31Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:33Protect the North!
00:40:39I'm curious.
00:40:40If this Black Marsh forbidden spell has been lost for years, how did you recognize it at
00:40:44a glance?
00:40:45Have you seen it before?
00:40:48Lord Cassian was right.
00:40:49This Black Marsh heretic is panicking.
00:40:52So now he's trying to pull others down with him.
00:40:54He's trying to pull the Black Raven clan into this.
00:40:58Everyone stay alert.
00:40:59Seize this Black Marsh heretic.
00:41:02Let's go.
00:41:04Let's go.
00:41:09Insolent Black Marsh heretic.
00:41:12You harmed my disciple.
00:41:17Surrender at once.
00:41:20Ethan, your death has come.
00:41:30Another one coming to die.
00:41:42It's Master Healer Aurarius!
00:41:44Felon's master.
00:41:45Avarius is nearly a hundred years old, and his healing is beyond anything we know.
00:41:48I heard that when he was young, he even received guidance from Zeus' legacy.
00:41:53That Black Marsh heretic is dead.
00:41:55Ethan, Aurarius is unmatched in healing.
00:41:57The North calls him a living saint.
00:41:59Now that he's here, you can wait to die.
00:42:01Compared with Zeus, I am only a mortal.
00:42:04The gap is beyond measure.
00:42:06Guided by Zeus' oracle, and still blind.
00:42:09Meeting you here must be fate.
00:42:10Young man, you may be gifted to master forbidden Black Marsh arts at your age, but you chose the wrong
00:42:15path.
00:42:15You harmed my disciple, impersonated Zeus, abused Black Marsh's source, and brought disaster to the North.
00:42:19For that, you deserve death.
00:42:20You've lived all these years, and you still can't see who is standing in front of you.
00:42:23Insolent Black Marsh heretic!
00:42:25You've lived this long.
00:42:26How is your mouth still so reckless?
00:42:28Face me in three trials.
00:42:30If you win, I'll guarantee your safe exit from Black Raven Keep today.
00:42:34Use whatever tricks you have.
00:42:35No one has ever survived even one move from Aurarius.
00:42:38You're dead today.
00:42:41Good.
00:42:44Blood mist takes shape.
00:42:46Bones of hatred rise.
00:42:48Nine shadows gather.
00:42:49Poisoned souls strike.
00:42:51Cheap tricks, and you dare show them to me?
00:43:01Holy seal, form the bones.
00:43:03Sacred light become chains.
00:43:05Triple lock.
00:43:06By the sacred altar, bind him.
00:43:08Boy, these are my sacred light chains.
00:43:11You're finished.
00:43:12Is that all you've got?
00:43:14Ancient wood, hear me.
00:43:15Sacred vines awaken.
00:43:17Life returns to the root.
00:43:18Earth, bind his body.
00:43:19Green vines, hold him fast.
00:43:21Go!
00:43:28This is my ancient wood spell.
00:43:31Once the sacred vines bind the body,
00:43:33not even a beast can break free.
00:43:36Let's see how you escape this time.
00:43:49Sacred light or ancient wood.
00:43:51Before me, it all turns to dust.
00:43:58That Black Marsh heretic is brutal.
00:44:00He broke Master Healer's Aurelius' ancient wood spell.
00:44:02Are you done?
00:44:04From this day on, I formally end my marriage pact with the Silverstag clan.
00:44:09From this moment on, we have nothing to do with each other.
00:44:13I am Zeus Reborn.
00:44:15If you don't believe me, go ask King Orion.
00:44:17Ethan, cursing people and pretending to be Zeus was bad enough.
00:44:20Now you dare use King Orion's name, too?
00:44:22I didn't expect a border healer like you to know so much.
00:44:25Yes, King Orion did wake up today.
00:44:28But the man who saved King Orion could never be a Black Marsh heretic like you.
00:44:32Even Averius may not be able to break King Orion's Wendeglow curse.
00:44:35You?
00:44:35How could you possibly have saved King Orion?
00:44:37We should seize this Black Marsh heretic before he spreads more lies
00:44:40and causes more trouble inside Black Ravenhold.
00:44:44Guards!
00:44:44Take this Black Marsh heretic down!
00:44:53Let's see who dares.
00:44:57Anyone who disrespects Lord Ethan.
00:45:04Isn't that Princess Alara, eldest daughter of the Royal Court?
00:45:07I heard Ash Royal Court and the Black Raven clan have been at odds for years.
00:45:11Why would she come here?
00:45:12Princess Alara just called him Lord.
00:45:14Was he really the one who woke King Orion?
00:45:17Princess Alara, the Silver Stag clan should have welcomed you properly.
00:45:20Please forgive us.
00:45:21Princess Alara, today we caught a Black Marsh heretic pretending to be Zeus reborn.
00:45:25He even claimed he saved King Orion.
00:45:27Since you're here, we'll leave him to you.
00:45:29Princess Alara, it has been a long time.
00:45:31I heard King Orion woke today.
00:45:32I haven't had time to visit and congratulate you.
00:45:35How about this?
00:45:35I'll hand this fake Black Marsh heretic over to you as a congratulatory gift.
00:45:38You say he is a Black Marsh heretic pretending to be Zeus reborn?
00:45:42Exactly.
00:45:42This Black Marsh heretic used dark sorcery and killed Felon, the Black Raven clan's personal healer.
00:45:47He also badly injured Master Healer Aurarius, Felon's master.
00:45:49Everyone here witnessed it.
00:45:51I, Cassian, swear I'm telling the truth.
00:45:53Princess Alara, this man is a Black Marsh heretic.
00:45:56Please decide what should be done with him.
00:45:58Are you finished?
00:46:02King Orion woke because Lord Ethan saved him.
00:46:08You called the man who saved the king a Black Marsh heretic?
00:46:15Anyone who dares touch him again becomes an enemy of Ash royal court.
00:46:25Open your eyes and look carefully.
00:46:28This is Lord Ethan, the man who saved my father.
00:46:31He really is the one who woke King Orion.
00:46:32Princess Alara herself confirmed it.
00:46:34We wrongly accused that Black Marsh heretic.
00:46:36No, we wrongly accused Lord Ethan.
00:46:39How is that possible?
00:46:40Princess Alara, could you be mistaken?
00:46:42He's just a border healer from the Black Marsh.
00:46:45How could he have saved King Orion?
00:46:47This man knows Black Marsh sorcery.
00:46:49He knows how to deceive people.
00:46:50He is no true healer.
00:46:53What?
00:46:53Should Lord Ethan have invited all of you to stand there and watch while he saved my father?
00:46:57I call you princess out of respect for Ash royal court.
00:47:01Today you came to my wedding feast and humiliated my bride to be in public.
00:47:04Tomorrow, will you bring soldiers into Black Raven held and trample our banner?
00:47:07Today, no matter who comes, this border healer stays here.
00:47:12You truly don't know when to stop.
00:47:15Ash royal court is nothing.
00:47:17I have never feared the Black Raven clan.
00:47:24Listen carefully.
00:47:25Lord Ethan saved my father today.
00:47:27He is the benefactor of Ash royal court.
00:47:29Disrespect him, and you disrespect Ash royal court.
00:47:33Lord Ethan, let's go.
00:47:36Wait!
00:47:39Wait.
00:47:42Even if Ethan saved King Orion, he still cursed my bride's family and injured the Black Raven clan's personal healers.
00:47:48That is also a fact.
00:47:50Alara, you may leave.
00:47:51I won't stop you.
00:47:52But Ethan stays here.
00:47:54You reminded me.
00:47:55I still have unfinished business with the Silver Stair Clan.
00:47:58You still dare talk big!
00:48:00The Silver Stair Clan has not survived all these years by being scared.
00:48:02You're only hiding behind Princess Allura.
00:48:04Have you forgotten you're just a border healer?
00:48:06Isn't hiding behind power what the Silver Stair Clan does best?
00:48:09Ethan, don't push your luck.
00:48:11Don't think Princess Allura's presence means you can walk out that door.
00:48:14A nest of fools walking into death.
00:48:16Zeus' punishment.
00:48:25You still dare attack?
00:48:27They broke the ancient marriage pact with their own hands.
00:48:30This is the punishment they earn.
00:48:34Do you still think this is Black Marsh sorcery?
00:48:47Lord Morvaena, the Black Raven clan wants Ash Royal Court's salt mines and forests, but they refuse every offer we
00:48:54make.
00:48:55Please plant a curse in that old king.
00:48:57Let me take Ash Royal Court for myself and fulfill my ambition.
00:49:04Darion, do you have a death wish?
00:49:07How dare you tell me what to do?
00:49:10I wouldn't dare. Everything will be as you command.
00:49:13Have your son bring Lady Seraphina of the Silver Stag Clan back here.
00:49:16Once I use her Frost Bloodland to forge the final curse seed, you'll get your reward.
00:49:20Cassian is at the wedding with the Silver Stag Clan right now.
00:49:23In less than an hour, Seraphina will be brought deep into Black Raven Hope.
00:49:26After that, she is yours.
00:49:30Divine punishment, so that's what happened.
00:49:33Zeus Reborn helped King Orion pull out my curse.
00:49:38Wait.
00:49:40If you rush to your son's wedding feast now, you may still bring him back in one piece.
00:49:45Otherwise, not even a god can save him.
00:49:47Remember this.
00:49:48Do not provoke the young man with the medicine gawp.
00:49:51You cannot have to cross him.
00:49:52Thank you for the warning, my lord.
00:50:01Father! Mother!
00:50:03What's wrong, mother?
00:50:04Don't scare me!
00:50:07Seraphina, are you alright?
00:50:09Ethan, you vile coward.
00:50:11You did this to my family.
00:50:13You...
00:50:14Serafina, don't talk.
00:50:15Breathe.
00:50:18Cassian, my chest hurts.
00:50:20I can't hold on.
00:50:23If I die, then you must be.
00:50:27Serafina!
00:50:27This is what happens when you break an ancient marriage trap.
00:50:32What?
00:50:32You want to try too?
00:50:34If I don't kill you today, my name isn't Cassio.
00:50:39Stop!
00:50:44Ethan, my father is here.
00:50:46You're dead.
00:50:49Do you know who my father is, men in the north?
00:50:52Darion, chief of the Black Raven clan.
00:50:54One of the most ruthless men in the north.
00:50:55Under him, the Black Raven clan has taken plenty of salt mines and forests.
00:50:59Now they dare stand against Ash Royal Court.
00:51:01Darion is ruthless.
00:51:02People who offend him tend to disappear without explanation.
00:51:04Be careful.
00:51:06So what?
00:51:07What happened here?
00:51:09Father, you have to stand up for me.
00:51:12My wedding feast with Serafina was going perfectly.
00:51:15Then this border healer named Ethan ruined everything.
00:51:18He used Black Marsh sorcery to hurt people.
00:51:20He left the Silverstag family half dead and badly injured Master Healer Felon and Master Healer Aurarius.
00:51:25I wanted to hold him accountable, but Alara keeps protecting this Black Marsh heretic.
00:51:29Father, now that you're here, you have to make this right!
00:51:33Is that true?
00:51:34Every word.
00:51:35If I lied, may thunder strike me down!
00:51:39Chief Darion, the Silverstag clan broke an ancient marriage pact and insulted Lord Ethan.
00:51:44Zeus' punishment fell on them.
00:51:45They brought this on themselves.
00:51:48Or are you only listening to your son's side?
00:51:51No, father.
00:51:52You know me.
00:51:53I never start trouble outside.
00:51:55It was this Black Marsh heretic who attacked innocent people.
00:51:57He hurt your future in-laws.
00:51:59If I let this insult stand, everyone will think the Black Raven clan has no strength left.
00:52:06Are you here to avenge the Silverstag clan and defend your son too?
00:52:11If you rush to your son's wedding feast now, you may still bring him back in one piece.
00:52:15Otherwise, not even a god can save him.
00:52:18Remember this.
00:52:19Do not provoke the young man with the medicine gore.
00:52:21You cannot have to cross him.
00:52:23Thank you for the warning, my lord.
00:52:26Father, you have to stand up for me.
00:52:28You Black Marsh heretic.
00:52:30You die today.
00:52:40Father, what are you doing?
00:52:42He hurt our people.
00:52:44You hit me instead of him?
00:52:46How many times have I told you, keep your head down outside.
00:52:49There is always someone more powerful.
00:52:51If Lord Ethan hadn't shown you mercy today, you would already be dead with nothing left to bury.
00:52:57Father, you're out of your mind.
00:52:58This Black Marsh heretic hurt our people first.
00:53:01He started this.
00:53:02That slap was for being too blind to recognize divine power.
00:53:07Father, have you lost your mind?
00:53:10That slap was for causing trouble and never learning your lesson.
00:53:14Father, what are you doing?
00:53:16He...
00:53:17And that slap was for your arrogance.
00:53:19You almost destroyed the entire Black Raven clan.
00:53:33What?
00:53:34Darian Chief of the Black Raven clan is kneeling before a border healer?
00:53:38My father has never bowed to anyone.
00:53:40Father, people kneel before the Black Raven clan.
00:53:42How can you kneel for him?
00:53:44Shut up!
00:53:46Do you know who he is?
00:53:50Lord Ethan, this is the seal to the Black Raven treasury.
00:53:53There are 100,000 gold coins inside.
00:53:56Consider it my son's apology gift.
00:53:58And the matter of the Silver Stag clan?
00:54:00The Silver Stag clan broke an ancient marriage pact and mocked a power they didn't understand.
00:54:04They sealed their own fate.
00:54:07What happened today will never leave this room.
00:54:09The Black Raven clan will make sure this never affect Lord Ethan.
00:54:13Lord Ethan, please accept the treasury seal.
00:54:17You think this is enough to buy your son's life?
00:54:23The Black Raven clan also has ancient relics, mind deeds, war horses and jewels.
00:54:28Please accept them all, Lord Ethan.
00:54:30I only ask you to spare my son today.
00:54:34Father, are you insane?
00:54:35You're kneeling and apologizing to our enemy?
00:54:39Guards, lock him up.
00:54:42Father!
00:54:44Lord Ethan, does this arrangement satisfy you?
00:54:47You have more sense than he does.
00:54:49Fine.
00:54:50I came today only to end the Silver Stag marriage pact.
00:54:52The rest of our debts can wait.
00:54:54Thank you for sparing us, Lord Ethan.
00:55:06If anyone leaks a single word of what happened today, you kill them.
00:55:16Princess Alara, did you come to Black Raven hope because King Orion's curse returned?
00:55:22Father is well.
00:55:23Thank you for asking, Lord Ethan.
00:55:25After you left the royal court, Father learned that Seraphina's marriage partner tonight was Cassian.
00:55:30The Black Raven clan is a top power in the north.
00:55:32They are not as strong as Ash Royal House, but they cannot be underestimated.
00:55:36After the Silflog clan tied themselves to Black Raven, they became even more argant.
00:55:41Father was worried you would be humiliated here, so he sent me to help you.
00:55:44These two families are blind.
00:55:46They failed to recognize your true identity and nearly harmed you.
00:55:50It's nothing.
00:55:51What can a few Black Ravens and Silver Stalks do to me?
00:55:55Princess Alara, you came here for another reason.
00:55:58Father sent me to investigate the one who released the curse.
00:56:01We have a lead.
00:56:02Lord Ethan, please return to the royal court with me.
00:56:05Ash Royal Court truly rules the north.
00:56:07You found a lead this quickly.
00:56:09Lord Ethan, please.
00:56:15How many times did I tell you to keep your head down?
00:56:17But you never listen.
00:56:19Now look at this.
00:56:20The wedding feast is ruined.
00:56:21The Silver Stag clan is half dead.
00:56:24How do you plan to clean this up?
00:56:31She's just one girl from Silver Stag.
00:56:33Is she really that important?
00:56:35There are plenty of clans in the north dying to marry into Black Raven.
00:56:37Are you telling me it has to be Seraphina?
00:56:40What do you know?
00:56:41Seraphina has a rare Frost bloodline.
00:56:44Lord Morvain specifically wanted her.
00:56:47Bringing her into the Black Raven clan was the most important part.
00:56:50Your arrogance and blindness ruined something that mattered.
00:56:53Is it really that mystical?
00:56:55I don't believe the Black Raven clan falls apart without Seraphina.
00:56:59And today was already enough.
00:57:01Zeus reborn.
00:57:03Divine punishment.
00:57:04Now some Black Marsh curse lord shows up too.
00:57:06Does this ever end?
00:57:08Lord Morvain, my son is reckless and speaks without thinking.
00:57:11Please forgive me.
00:57:12I will find another way to bring Seraphina back.
00:57:15Father, you're the chief of the Black Raven clan.
00:57:18Even King Aron fears you.
00:57:19Why are you kneeling to this masked man?
00:57:26What did you do to me?
00:57:31Teaching you to keep your mouth shut.
00:57:34Please spare my son.
00:57:37Darian, have you forgotten who raised the Black Raven clan to where it is today?
00:57:42I would never forget.
00:57:43Without your help, the Black Raven clan would be nothing.
00:57:45Please spare my son.
00:57:47As chief of the Black Raven clan, you couldn't even bring me Seraphina.
00:57:49Perhaps the Black Raven clan no longer deserves my support.
00:57:52Father, help me.
00:57:53Mercy, my lord.
00:57:54I've served you faithfully for years.
00:57:56Please give me one more chance.
00:57:57You have one more chance.
00:57:59Fail again and you die.
00:58:01Command me, my lord.
00:58:05King Aron's second daughter, Princess Lyra.
00:58:08She carries royal blood, soul flame, and Blackmarsh curse energy.
00:58:12She is an even better vessel for a new curse seed than Seraphina.
00:58:15Princess Lyra is inside Ash royal court.
00:58:18The guards there are tight.
00:58:20She is not in the royal court.
00:58:23She is in the east tower of your Black Raven clan right now.
00:58:27In 15 minutes, I want her standing before me.
00:58:30Otherwise, you know what happens.
00:58:33I understand.
00:58:34I understand.
00:58:39Lord Ethan, you're here.
00:58:41Please sit.
00:58:41No need for formalities.
00:58:43Treat this as your own home.
00:58:45King Orion, didn't I tell you to rest?
00:58:48Why are you pushing yourself?
00:58:49Thanks to you, Lord Ethan.
00:58:51I'm already much better.
00:58:54When you treated me, you said the illness came from the Wendigo curse.
00:58:59You asked me to investigate who planted it and tell you once I found a lead.
00:59:03I came as soon as I found something.
00:59:05King Orion, speak plainly.
00:59:08Ten years ago, when my mother passed away, Ash royal court had just begun rising.
00:59:13We were blocked at every turn.
00:59:15On my way back to the royal court, I met an old man in a black robe.
00:59:18He said we were fated and gave me a jar of Black Marsh herbs for free.
00:59:22He told me the herbs must not be boiled or drank.
00:59:25If the herbs weren't for drinking, what were they for?
00:59:28To place at the bedside and ward off evil.
00:59:30And then?
00:59:32Then, everything began going smoothly for Ash royal court.
00:59:36After that, it became one of the strongest courts in the north.
00:59:40Lord Ethan, you truly see through everything.
00:59:42From that day on, I would lose consciousness from time to time until I met you, Lord Ethan.
00:59:46Those were not soul-calming herbs.
00:59:48They carried the Wendo curse.
00:59:50The price of Ash royal court's rise was the royal bloodline being drained while the court was destroyed from within.
00:59:59Lord Ethan, you saved my family's lives.
01:00:03After I woke up, that jar of Black Marsh herbs disappeared.
01:00:07I searched my memory and found a clue to that person.
01:00:10We learned that the last place he appeared was the Black Marsh border.
01:00:15The Black Marsh border?
01:00:17Isn't that where the Wendigo is sealed?
01:00:18I remember now.
01:00:19When that old man in the black robe gave me the Black Marsh herbs, he asked me if I wanted
01:00:24revenge.
01:00:29Revenge?
01:00:30What was that about?
01:00:30Back then, the herbs and gold coins meant to save my mother's life were stolen by bandits on the road.
01:00:37Her treatment was delayed.
01:00:39In the end, she still passed away.
01:00:45So that was when you met the old man in the black robe?
01:00:47I was in despair when I met him.
01:00:50The first thing he asked was whether I wanted revenge.
01:00:53Did you ever see him again after that?
01:00:56Never.
01:00:57So he knew what you wanted most.
01:01:01I remember something else.
01:01:02Father, please tell us everything at once.
01:01:04That old man wore a black robe with a black cloak over it.
01:01:07On the cloak, there was a very clear Black Sun emblem.
01:01:14There's a curse in the tea.
01:01:15Don't drink it!
01:01:21Lord Ethan, how is Alara?
01:01:23Princess Alana was hit by the curse in the tea.
01:01:26She'll be safe for now.
01:01:29But the curse inside Princess Alana is a soul-linked curse.
01:01:33It is different from the Wendico curse that was inside you.
01:01:36If a soul stays in the body, the person lives.
01:01:38If not, the body can be taken over.
01:01:40The source of this curse is not inside Princess Alara.
01:01:43What?
01:01:43Alara drank the herbal tea.
01:01:44How can the source not be inside her?
01:01:46Lord Ethan, please tell me!
01:01:47The curse seed is inside Princess Lyra.
01:01:52Lord Morvane, as you requested, I brought her here.
01:01:58Who are you?
01:01:59What do you want?
01:02:00Don't be afraid, Princess Lyra.
01:02:02I simply wanted to invite you for tea and a little talk.
01:02:05Catch up?
01:02:06I don't even know you!
01:02:07And who dies.
01:02:08You may not know me, but your father, King Arion, and I are old friends.
01:02:13Without my Black Marsh medicine, Ash Royal Court would never have become the strongest court in the North.
01:02:19In other words, in the North, I decide who live.
01:02:23My father may have taken your medicine, but Ash Royal Court rose because of him.
01:02:27What does that have to do with you?
01:02:29I helped, didn't I?
01:02:30I'm only collecting what King Arion owes me.
01:02:35Give Princess Lyra that tea.
01:02:41What are you doing? I...
01:02:43Drink it. No more talking.
01:02:52One soul, two lives.
01:02:54Bind their pain.
01:02:55Link them across distance.
01:02:57Life and death as one.
01:03:01What...
01:03:01What did you do to me?
01:03:03Nothing much.
01:03:05Just a soul-linked curse.
01:03:07This curse connects your life with Alara's.
01:03:09If her curse is removed, you die.
01:03:12But if it isn't removed, your sister dies in one hour.
01:03:16Now, I want to see which daughter King Arion chooses to save.
01:03:19Princess Alara or you?
01:03:24You're disgusting.
01:03:26Don't worry.
01:03:27I'm only playing with your royal court.
01:03:29If I wanted you dead, you wouldn't survive today.
01:03:33Send Princess Lyra back.
01:03:36May I speak with Princess Lyra alone?
01:03:39I need to settle a small score from today.
01:03:42Do as you like.
01:03:43Thank you, Lord Morvain.
01:03:47Princess Lyra, let's go.
01:03:49I'll send you home.
01:03:54The curse seat is inside Princess Lyra.
01:03:56If I remove Princess Alara's curse, Princess Lyra will suffer the entire time and may even die.
01:04:00But if I don't remove it, in one hour, Princess Alara will itch all over, bleed from her eyes and
01:04:04mouth and die.
01:04:05King Arion, Morvain is forcing you to choose.
01:04:07Save Princess Alara or save Princess Lyra?
01:04:09Unforgivable.
01:04:10Cursing me wasn't enough and now he's coming after my daughters.
01:04:13But Lord Ethan, if we're saving them, we have to find Lyra within the hour.
01:04:16No need.
01:04:17Princess Lyra is already here.
01:04:19What?
01:04:20Here?
01:04:20She just went to the Black Raven Clan's East Tower trading house.
01:04:23She can't be here.
01:04:25Your Majesty, something happened.
01:04:27Princess Lyra was badly wounded and dumped outside the royal court gate.
01:04:30Put her down.
01:04:31Send people to watch the Black Raven Clan.
01:04:38Already done.
01:04:39Father.
01:04:40Lyra, what happened?
01:04:41Yesterday, I was reviewing an old contract at the Black Raven Clan's East Tower trading house.
01:04:47Darion interrupted the meeting and had his men take me to a secret room inside Black Raven Keep.
01:04:55Darion, Cassian, and a masked man tortured me.
01:05:00That masked man placed a curse inside me.
01:05:03Lord Ethan, please save my sister.
01:05:07Princess Lyra, don't be afraid.
01:05:09I'm here.
01:05:12Darion must have a death wish.
01:05:14He dared lay hands on my daughter.
01:05:17Lyra, you said Darion and his son worked with a masked man to curse you.
01:05:21Yes.
01:05:22His name was Morvane.
01:05:26Morvane.
01:05:26Just as I thought.
01:05:28Darion wanted to curse me and kill me.
01:05:30I'll make him pay for this.
01:05:31King Orion, the priority is saving both princesses.
01:05:34Revenge can wait until they're safe.
01:05:35But because of the soul link curse, only one of them can be saved.
01:05:38Do you have a way?
01:05:39Me to the bedroom.
01:05:40I have a plan.
01:05:42Orin is the one Morvian cursed and controlled.
01:05:45Lyra is clean.
01:05:47Morvian must be using Orin to watch us.
01:05:53No.
01:05:55We need to draw Morvian.
01:05:56King Orion, no matter what happens in this room later, don't let anyone come in.
01:06:00And please, prepare some fresh mint leaves for me.
01:06:03Orin, follow Lord Ethan's instructions.
01:06:07Your Majesty, fresh mint doesn't grow this season.
01:06:11I'll handle it right away.
01:06:13I'll leave this to you, Lord Ethan.
01:06:19I don't know how much longer my body can hold out.
01:06:25Lord Ethan, the man who cursed us said only one of us can live.
01:06:29Is that true?
01:06:30Yes.
01:06:32Then save my sister.
01:06:33She's stronger than I am, just like father.
01:06:36I believe she can take Ash Royal Halt further than I ever could.
01:06:39Princess Lyra, don't worry.
01:06:41Normally, the soul link curse allows only one person to live.
01:06:43But I don't follow normal rules.
01:06:45Both of you will be fine.
01:06:46Lord Ethan, you can save both of us?
01:06:48Yes.
01:06:49But the curse is easy to break.
01:06:52The evil inside people is much harder.
01:06:54What do you mean?
01:06:56I'll break the curse first.
01:06:57After Princess Alara wakes, we'll talk.
01:06:59Lie down, close your eyes, and remove your outer robe.
01:07:10Thunderlight of Zeus, separate their souls.
01:07:14Darkness, withdraw.
01:07:16Life, return.
01:07:17Souls, return to your bodies.
01:07:19Soul link curse, break apart!
01:07:23Watch out!
01:07:27Watch out!
01:07:32Ethan, you're more capable than I expected.
01:07:35You broke the soul link curse.
01:07:36In this world, only you could do that.
01:07:38No wonder you're Zeus reborn.
01:07:42He has also been cursed by Morvan.
01:07:45Morvain!
01:07:46Let Orin go!
01:07:49Hand over the curse seed inside King Orion.
01:07:53Try leaving here alive.
01:07:55Your curse seed is right here.
01:07:58Ethan!
01:07:59What a waste!
01:08:02You wasted something that precious just to break a curse.
01:08:07You're beyond saving.
01:08:09Unforgivable!
01:08:10Ethan!
01:08:11Lord Ethan, please save Orin.
01:08:14Orin, hold on.
01:08:16Break free from Morvena's control.
01:08:19Princess Lyra, my mind is clearer than ever.
01:08:22You never should have brought this man back.
01:08:25He ruined everything.
01:08:27I'm sorry.
01:08:28I can't save him.
01:08:30What?
01:08:31Even you can't save him?
01:08:33If even you can't, who can?
01:08:37A curse can be broken.
01:08:39A rotten heart cannot.
01:08:41Only he can save himself.
01:08:44Even a god couldn't do it for him.
01:08:46What do you mean?
01:08:50Orin was never cursed.
01:08:52He was sent here to kill both of you.
01:08:58Orin has served father for years.
01:09:01He watched us grow up.
01:09:03Why would he want to kill us?
01:09:05Do you remember what I said before breaking the curse?
01:09:08I remember.
01:09:10You said curses are easy to break, but the human heart cannot be healed.
01:09:13Lord Ethan, what is going on with Orin?
01:09:16The problem begins with your father.
01:09:18King Orion is at the center of this.
01:09:20If I'm right, King Ion sent him to kill you.
01:09:24No.
01:09:25That's impossible.
01:09:26I must still be dreaming.
01:09:28Sister, pinch me.
01:09:30Wake me up.
01:09:32Lord Ethan, this is not something you joke about.
01:09:34Ask Orin, then you'll know.
01:09:38The black flame mark behind his ear was put there by himself, so I would notice it while
01:09:42he led the way.
01:09:43At first, I thought he had been cursed when he met Princess Lyra at the gate.
01:09:46I thought Morvan was using him to watch us.
01:09:49But other than the soul-linked curse, I found no sign of any other curse on Princess Lyra.
01:09:53And Morvan is confident enough now that if he wanted to kill us, he wouldn't need such
01:09:57a complicated setup.
01:09:58So the problem lies with your father.
01:10:00Princess Lyra, your father did not tell us the truth.
01:10:02Lord Ethan is more than a divine healer.
01:10:04He can see the whole board.
01:10:06Princess Lyra, your biggest mistake was bringing him back to cure the king.
01:10:09His majesty was about to become a god.
01:10:11And your love for your father ruined his plan.
01:10:15What did you say?
01:10:16This was all father's plan?
01:10:18His coma was staged?
01:10:19That can't be true.
01:10:20We brought so many sacred healers to father and none of them could break his curse.
01:10:23Your father's curse was real.
01:10:25Those so-called sacred healers truly couldn't see what was wrong with him.
01:10:28But your father and Morvan have a deep connection.
01:10:31When I woke your father, I disrupted their plan.
01:10:33Since you're all about to die, I might as well tell you the truth.
01:10:36His majesty sought out Morvain himself for immortality and swallowed the Black Marsh curse
01:10:39seed willingly.
01:10:40The day the curse seed breaks out of his body is the day his majesty leaves his mortal body
01:10:43behind and becomes immortal.
01:10:45And Ethan ruined it.
01:10:47No, no, father would never do that.
01:10:50Nothing is impossible, Princess Lyra.
01:10:53You are too kind and far too easy to fool.
01:10:56In your next life, fix that weakness.
01:11:02It's done.
01:11:09Morvain, I handled Ethan for you.
01:11:11When do I get the Black Marsh curse seed you promised me?
01:11:15You are as ruthless as ever.
01:11:16For immortality, you sacrificed your wife.
01:11:19Now you are willing to sacrifice your daughters.
01:11:21Wolves do not preach mercy.
01:11:23Great things require sacrifice.
01:11:24I want to see how much use the body of Zeus reborn still has
01:11:27and what kind of curse seed it can reform.
01:11:54Where is my curse seed?
01:11:59Lord Morvain, that boy said he turned your soul link curse into medicine.
01:12:03Damn boy.
01:12:04You even dared turn my curse seed into medicine.
01:12:11Zeus's thunderlight.
01:12:12So he really isn't an ordinary border healer.
01:12:16Morvain, I delivered the man you wanted.
01:12:18Now according to our deal, give me the real Black Marsh curse seed.
01:12:21What deal?
01:12:23You're betraying me?
01:12:24I gave you Ethan and both of my daughters.
01:12:26You promised me the real Black Marsh curse seed.
01:12:29You promised to help me become immortal.
01:12:32Orion, have you forgotten who put you on that throne?
01:12:36I took you from a fallen Roarline and made you king of the north.
01:12:40And now you bring me a few corpses and think you can bargain?
01:12:44You promised me once I gave you Ethan, you would help me become immortal.
01:12:48Their lives are worthless.
01:12:49If I want them dead, they die.
01:12:51You're the one who betrayed blood and oath.
01:12:53You sacrificed your wife, then your daughters, and now you still want immortality?
01:12:57You're too greedy.
01:12:58I can give you all of Ash Royal Court.
01:13:01Salt mines, hunting grounds.
01:13:04Take whatever you want.
01:13:05And what makes you think I care about any of that?
01:13:08Right now, he is worth more than you.
01:13:12Zeus's reborn body and the remains of the curse seed he refined are far more useful than your old bones.
01:13:19What do you want?
01:13:20Don't ask what I want.
01:13:24Ask what you still have.
01:13:29What if I offer every resource Ash Royal Court has?
01:13:32Ash Royal Court is now the strongest court in the north.
01:13:35Wasn't I the one who put you on that throne?
01:13:38I can make you king and I can make someone else king.
01:13:41You know exactly why I chose you back then.
01:13:44Because my queen had a rare frost bloodline.
01:13:47You wanted to use her as a sacrifice for your soul link, Kurt.
01:13:51You wanted my queen's life and I gave it to you.
01:13:54I gave you my daughters too.
01:13:55What else do you want?
01:13:57Without your blood relatives, you're nothing to me.
01:14:01You.
01:14:04I forgot.
01:14:06You still have one loyal dog.
01:14:14If you want to touch the king, you go through me first.
01:14:17You want to fight me?
01:14:18You don't even know how weak you are.
01:14:23Say it!
01:14:23What do you want?
01:14:24Orion, so many royal families begged me back then.
01:14:27Why did I choose a fallen prince like you?
01:14:29Because you wanted my queen's bloodline.
01:14:31That was only part of it.
01:14:32I chose you because you were ruthless.
01:14:34You dared to give things up.
01:14:36You dared to gamble.
01:14:37Just like now.
01:14:38All I have now is Ash Royal Court and every resource in the north.
01:14:43If you want them, take them.
01:14:46Think harder.
01:14:48What else do you still have?
01:14:50I have nothing left now.
01:14:54You want my life.
01:14:56So you finally understand, yes.
01:14:58I want your life.
01:15:00Your majesty, run!
01:15:09Such loyalty.
01:15:11Such a worthless death.
01:15:17Hello, Morvain.
01:15:20Or should I call you brother?
01:15:26Nothing is impossible, Princess Lyra.
01:15:29You're too kind and far too trusting.
01:15:32In your next life, fix that weakness.
01:15:36You think you can take my life?
01:15:38This can't be real.
01:15:40I don't believe it.
01:15:41Lyra, wake up.
01:15:41This is real.
01:15:43Since our father wants us dead,
01:15:45we need to decide what we do next.
01:15:47I just used true thunder.
01:15:49Orin can only tell the truth now.
01:15:50Ask him anything you want.
01:15:53Orin, was everything you said just now true?
01:15:56Every word.
01:15:57Did you know Princess Lyra was tortured by the Black Raven Clan and Morvain?
01:16:02His majesty deliberately sent Princess Lyra to the Black Raven Clan's East Tower Trading House
01:16:06to investigate an old contract.
01:16:08Princesses, we are already inside the trap.
01:16:11Let's hear how many more secrets King Oran and Morvain are hiding.
01:16:13We'll follow your lead, Lord Ethan.
01:16:18Princesses, forgive me.
01:16:44Brother, brother, those little tricks of yours won't kill me.
01:16:49Morvain, I've already sealed this room with a thunder barrier.
01:16:51Don't waste your strength.
01:16:53Your Black Marr curses won't work here.
01:16:54Surrender.
01:16:55No wonder you are Zeus reborn.
01:16:57So the power of the old gods really did fall to you.
01:16:59But crushing you would take no effort.
01:17:01I'm not done playing yet, so I'll let you live today.
01:17:03Goodbye.
01:17:05Goodbye.
01:17:06Goodbye.
01:17:07Goodbye.
01:17:08Goodbye.
01:17:17King Oran, what happened today is a matter for Ashcord.
01:17:21I won't interfere, but there are things you need to tell the truth about.
01:17:24You all heard it.
01:17:27We heard.
01:17:28Father, you were willing to trade all our lives for your immortality and your throne.
01:17:32Do you even deserve to be our father?
01:17:34King Oran, that curse cannot make you immortal.
01:17:37It cannot make you a god.
01:17:39It will only keep feeding on your soul and your family's souls until your house is destroyed.
01:17:43If immortality were truly that easy, why would Morvain give it to a mortal with no divine
01:17:47power instead of keeping it for himself?
01:17:51So, I was never Morvain's chosen one.
01:17:54I was his experiment.
01:17:57When I had just taken over Ash Royal Court, I signed a major saltmine contract.
01:18:01Halfway through, our allied clan suddenly withdrew.
01:18:04It nearly destroyed us.
01:18:05I had knights to feed.
01:18:06My mother needed life-saving medicine.
01:18:08Elira and Lyra were still young.
01:18:10Every corner of the court needed gold.
01:18:12I went to them again and again, begging them not to pull out.
01:18:15Every time, they refused.
01:18:16Just like that, the saltmine contract collapsed.
01:18:18The royal court was on the edge.
01:18:20My mother died on her sickbed.
01:18:21After I left her sickroom, I went to the altar of the old gods to ask for guidance.
01:18:25When I came out, I met Morvain.
01:18:27He asked if I wanted revenge.
01:18:28I was blinded by hate.
01:18:30I thought the old gods had answered me, so I made a deal with him.
01:18:34With all our lives as the price for your greed?
01:18:37He promised that within 15 years, I would rule the North and become immortal.
01:18:41I was young and arrogant.
01:18:43I agreed before he even finished speaking.
01:18:45And the price was your entire family's lives?
01:18:47No!
01:18:48The price was a lifetime of being alone.
01:18:50Then congratulations.
01:18:52You got exactly what you wanted.
01:18:54From now on, you will be alone for the rest of your life.
01:18:56Princess Elira, not yet.
01:18:58Let King Orion finish.
01:18:59He gave me the price before I understood it.
01:19:02When he said the cost was a lifetime alone, I felt nothing.
01:19:05What's the difference?
01:19:06A lifetime of being alone doesn't only mean losing your family.
01:19:11It means from that day on, there was no one beside me I could trust.
01:19:15Then congratulations.
01:19:17You got exactly what you wanted.
01:19:19From now on, you will be alone for the rest of your life.
01:19:21Princess Elira, not yet.
01:19:23Let King Orion finish.
01:19:24He gave me the price before I understood it.
01:19:26When he said the cost was a lifetime alone, I felt nothing.
01:19:30He gave me a jar of black marsh herbs.
01:19:33He told me not to boil them or drink them, only to place them by the bed.
01:19:36Because of where I placed them, that very night I had a terrible fight with the Queen.
01:19:40Looking back now, that was when the price began.
01:19:44The Queen saw that thing and couldn't sleep.
01:19:47That night she slept on the fur bench in the outer hall.
01:19:50When I woke up, the herbs were still there, but the curse seed inside them was gone.
01:19:56If I'm right, that curse seed was never meant for you.
01:19:58It was meant for your Queen, because she carried the rare frost bloodline.
01:20:02At first there were no signs at all.
01:20:03Then, after Lyra turned 18, the Queen suddenly coughed blood in the royal court inner chamber and died.
01:20:09When I prepared her body, I regretted making that deal.
01:20:13I found him and told him the deal was off.
01:20:16I said I wanted out.
01:20:17You only saw what you gained.
01:20:18You never understood what you lost.
01:20:21What did I gain?
01:20:23What did I gain?
01:20:24The royal court.
01:20:26A court that belonged to me.
01:20:28The greatest royal court in the North.
01:20:30And after that?
01:20:32Ash royal court grew stronger by the day.
01:20:35It did not even take 15 years.
01:20:37It became the strongest royal court in the North.
01:20:40Princess Lyra's illness, in a way, also came from you.
01:20:44Yes, it came from me.
01:20:47But I had no way back.
01:20:49All I could do was keep moving forward.
01:20:52Give them the best of everything.
01:20:54Material things.
01:20:55To make up for what I owed them.
01:20:58I would rather have lived poor, than watch our family fall apart.
01:21:02Be torn to pieces.
01:21:03Illness can be healed.
01:21:05Desire is harder to remove.
01:21:07That's because you've never been desperate.
01:21:09Every person has desires.
01:21:10I did what I had to do.
01:21:12Then what about your mother, who built everything with you from nothing?
01:21:14Sometimes, for the future of a kingdom, one person's sacrifice means nothing.
01:21:19You're beyond saving.
01:21:20You're not the father I knew.
01:21:24At this point, I only want to step down and leave Ash court behind.
01:21:28The Blackstone royal token.
01:21:31Whoever holds it, speaks with the king's authority.
01:21:35From this day on, Ash royal court is yours to command.
01:21:45This filthy thing, let it rot.
01:21:51Ten Ash royal courts could never buy back mother's life.
01:21:56Elara, you are exactly like I was when I first took over the royal court.
01:21:59Fearless.
01:22:00But one day you'll understand.
01:22:02Reality will crush you until you can't breathe.
01:22:05And this token is the weapon that lets you survive it.
01:22:08Lyra, come here.
01:22:09Let your father hold you one last time.
01:22:11If only your mother were here now.
01:22:20Father, father, father.
01:22:26Princesses, the dead cannot return.
01:22:28King Orion had already taken poison.
01:22:30We were here the whole time.
01:22:31When did he take it?
01:22:32He knew he had too many enemies in the north.
01:22:34If he ever fell into their hands.
01:22:36It was his last shred of dignity.
01:22:38Lord Ethan, you can save people.
01:22:40Please, you have to save him.
01:22:41There's still time.
01:22:45He knew he had too many enemies in the north.
01:22:48If he ever fell into their hands, he hid it in his tooth.
01:22:51It was his final foul back.
01:22:53Princess Lyra, King Orion's belief in immortality has shattered.
01:22:56He caused the queen's death and nearly killed both of you.
01:22:59Even if I brought him back, I'm afraid.
01:23:00This is not the time to cry.
01:23:02Handle father's funeral and the court's affairs.
01:23:05Lord Ethan and I will settle the score with Morvan.
01:23:07Princess Alara, you truly are King Orion's daughter.
01:23:10Calm under pressure.
01:23:11Born to rule.
01:23:12Princess Alara, not yet.
01:23:16Morvan's Black Marsh curses are strange.
01:23:18If we go now without preparation, we're just walking to our deaths.
01:23:22I have something for you.
01:23:23What is this?
01:23:25Toad Blyle powder.
01:23:26Once applied, it's colorless and odorless, but deadly to Black Marsh curse bugs.
01:23:30Think of it as armor for your body.
01:23:35I thought it over.
01:23:37Better to end a threat before it spreads.
01:23:40If I leave you alone, sooner or later you'll ruin everything.
01:23:44So, Ethan, die.
01:23:48Perfect.
01:23:49Saves me the trouble of finding you.
01:23:51Give me back my mother's life!
01:23:54Give me back my curse seed.
01:23:57Bloodline.
01:23:58Soul.
01:24:01Immortality.
01:24:02Come to me!
01:24:13What's happening?
01:24:14How can he still cast curses?
01:24:16Didn't he set up a thunder barrier here?
01:24:18To me, it makes no difference.
01:24:20You think this boy is powerful enough to break down my curse?
01:24:25Ridiculous.
01:24:26If you want it so badly, I'll give it back.
01:24:28By my thunder light, open the path back.
01:24:34My curse bugs, why are they gone?
01:24:36How do you know the Black Marsh curse tongue?
01:24:38I am Zeus Reborn.
01:24:40No dark art stays hidden from me.
01:24:41I've seen through your curse work, Morvain.
01:24:43You miscalculated.
01:24:44Then I'll take the souls you protect and repair my broken one.
01:24:50These are motion-hunting curse bugs.
01:24:53They attack anything alive that moves.
01:24:55Once they stick to you for 30 seconds, you'll be nothing but bones.
01:25:00They leave the flesh untouched.
01:25:01They only eat the bones.
01:25:04After you die, I'll make cloaks from your skin.
01:25:11Ethan, do you know why you became Zeus Reborn?
01:25:16Morvain, you use curse bugs to devour other people's lives and repair your own broken soul.
01:25:22So what?
01:25:23The strong survive by devouring the weak.
01:25:26You're right.
01:25:27So today, it's your turn to be devoured.
01:25:36Don't you dare!
01:25:37Black Marsh, open!
01:25:39Curse Blood, awaken!
01:25:40Take his soul and make his power mine!
01:25:43Thunder, shatter the darkness!
01:25:48My curse bugs!
01:25:50How did they disappear?
01:25:52Sister!
01:25:53Let's see if you're willing to kill her just to destroy me.
01:25:56Ethan, what are you waiting for?
01:25:58Do it!
01:25:59If my life can take this monster down, it's worth it.
01:26:02Brother, join me.
01:26:04You command divine healing.
01:26:06I command Black Marsh curses.
01:26:09Together, this whole world could be ours.
01:26:10Everyone chooses their own path.
01:26:12I won't steal another life to change mine.
01:26:14In all my life, you're the only one who has ever dared refuse me, Ethan.
01:26:19Then die with her!
01:26:22Impossible!
01:26:23How do you know the strongest Black Marsh curse?
01:26:25You're wrong.
01:26:27To you, this is the strongest Black Marsh cursed.
01:26:29To me, it's nothing.
01:26:32Spend the rest of your life inside my inner prison.
01:26:35No!
01:26:36No!
01:26:37No!
01:26:45You're awake.
01:26:47Are you alright?
01:26:48Are you hurt?
01:26:49Where is Morvane?
01:26:50I'm fine.
01:26:52I trapped him inside my inner prison.
01:26:55He will spend the rest of his life there.
01:26:57Sister!
01:26:58Sister!
01:27:00Sister!
01:27:02Sister!
01:27:03Sister!
01:27:06Sister!
01:27:07Sister!
01:27:19Sister!
01:27:20Sister!
01:27:20Sister!
01:27:21Sister!
01:27:28You
