Short filmTranscript
00:00:21Poor child! The fire isn't out yet! Stop!
00:00:25Madam, if I'm too slow, the other starving people will snatch them. My mother and I need this to survive
00:00:32the bitter winter.
00:00:38Madam, I wove these napkins. I embroidered the holly patterns myself. The priest said holly represents endless hope and life.
00:00:45Do you know where I can sell these?
00:00:52I'll take them all. May the merciful God bless you.
00:01:03Those napkins are barely worth a few coppers. Why did you give her three silver goins?
00:01:08Her father drowned, and her mother caught a deadly consumption. An orphan girl, weaving with burned hands just to buy
00:01:15her mother medicine. We should help however we can.
00:01:38Ten silver coins, at most.
00:01:42So, I'm dying. Ten silver coins only buys me a month of medicine. Please, look at the work, it's flawless.
00:01:53Fine. I misjudged it. Thirty silver coins.
00:01:58That's enough. Enough time to settle my shereel.
00:02:05Today is Christmas. My mother sold grandmother's heirloom for me. Yet this is all I can afford to give her.
00:02:14You ditched royalty to run off with a peasant. And look at you now, pathetic.
00:02:27Father, I don't have much time left. Please have mercy and take shereel in.
00:02:33That brat is a stain. Leave her, come home, and I'll get you the best care. You're still royalty.
00:02:41If high birth compels me to cast aside my child, I choose to live as a commoner.
00:02:47Father, shereel is my life. I will never abandon her.
00:02:53You're my only child, the last of our royal blood. Your illness has already brought you to death. Are you
00:03:00willing to risk your life over some base-born bastard?
00:03:05Without shereel, the palace is nothing more than an ornate tomb. I would rather die than abandon my daughter.
00:03:12Then die in this icebox. I, Robert, never had you as a daughter.
00:03:20It's all my fault. I'm the one who made Mother suffer.
00:03:32Mum, it's Christmas today. I didn't save enough for a turkey, but I made pea soup.
00:03:38Good girl. Mum is so proud of you.
00:03:41Mum, this is my Christmas gift to you. Hope you will like it.
00:03:46It's beautiful. I love it.
00:03:48I'm sorry my weak body made you suffer in this cruel world.
00:03:52No, it's my fault I couldn't make you better.
00:03:57I heard licorice helps with coughing, so I added some to the soup. Hurry and try it.
00:04:03This pea soup is the best thing I've ever tasted. No delicacy can compare.
00:04:14This is my only precious belonging left. We'll each keep half.
00:04:21Mum will never abandon you.
00:04:25We will never be apart.
00:04:28Mother, my departure is the only way for you to live.
00:04:32You have to carry on, please.
00:04:51Your Majesty!
00:04:54Please save my mom!
00:04:59As long as you save my mother, I am willing to leave her forever.
00:05:04And never take the royal bloodline.
00:05:17This is Datria, one sip, and your past is gone forever.
00:05:22I'm sending you to a remote border town.
00:05:28Never set foot in the capital again.
00:05:32Hmm.
00:05:53Mum, you have to live on.
00:06:03Liana.
00:06:07Father.
00:06:08What are you doing here?
00:06:19My child!
00:06:21Shereel!
00:06:22Where are you?
00:06:31Mom, please forgive me for leaving like this.
00:06:34I wanted to stay with you forever.
00:06:37But I couldn't just watch you die.
00:06:40Grandfather promised me to save you.
00:06:42But only if I left.
00:06:44This dress is my final gift.
00:06:47Like the holly on it.
00:06:48I wish you endless life and hope.
00:06:51I will always love you.
00:06:52I am going to help you.
00:06:56I was thinking of my actions in my house.
00:06:56No, I am not.
00:06:57No, I am not.
00:06:58No!
00:07:01My child!
00:07:05Shereel!
00:07:07Where are you?
00:07:10Shereel!
00:07:12My child!
00:07:13Where are you?
00:07:25Take Princess Leina back to the palace and let the physicians treat her.
00:07:56I've rebuilt this nation and silenced the drums of war. Our land is thriving and secure. Yet, one void remains
00:08:03in my heart. I must find my lost daughter!
00:08:09I swear on the crown, whoever brings me one clue to my daughter's location, a Duxtish with cities and lands
00:08:18is yours.
00:08:19A Duxtish just for a clue?
00:08:21Whoever brings her home safely, you shall be named Hand of the King with absolute power, second only to me.
00:08:43A Duxtish just for a few years.
00:08:53Eric, I've perfected this holly design and the silk quality. Take it to the royal officer. If the Queen likes
00:08:59it, your family will become a royal supplier and you'll finally get your barony.
00:09:05It's exquisite. Shiril, you're amazing. The Queen will definitely love it.
00:09:10I'm just an amnesiac orphan. If you hadn't taken me home, I probably would have died long ago. I'm just
00:09:16happy to help you.
00:09:17Don't worry. Once the Queen grants me the title of Baron, I'll marry you immediately and give you a truly
00:09:23warm home.
00:09:24By the way, according to our tradition, getting married requires a dowry of 100 silver coins. How much have you
00:09:29saved up so far?
00:09:31Already over 80 coins. Give me more time. I'll weave all night and sell piece sumps all day. I'll have
00:09:37the 100 soon.
00:09:39Shiril, you think I care about cold hard cash? I'm doing this for us. My parents are old fashioned. They
00:09:47only care about status.
00:09:48Give me the 80 coins. I'll use them to shut them up and prove your worth to-
00:09:52But-
00:09:53Shhh. Once they agree, at the sacred moment I am named Baron.
00:10:00I will announce to the world that you are my future bride.
00:10:08Eric, 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?
00:10:44Forgive me, Your Majesty. Not yet. The purchasing has just arrived with premium silk tributes for your review.
00:11:00This fabric...
00:11:19There's no mistake. This 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!
00:11:42Sarah, prepare a carriage immediately!
00:11:47Royal Guard! We're going to Black Rock City right now!
00:11:51At once, Your Majesty!
00:11:57Your Majesty!
00:11:59Your Majesty, we will reach Black Rock City before the Midday Bell.
00:12:03The Greys own the workshop. They've long craved royal status.
00:12:07As for the holly silk, it was woven by Eric Gray's fiancé.
00:12:13What is her name?
00:12:17Her name is...
00:12:21Shereel.
00:12:23It is her!
00:12:24It is her!
00:12:25Your 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.
00:12:37Bloodline or not, such exquisite craftsmanship deserves recognition.
00:12:41Send my orders.
00:12:43Appoint Eric Gray as a royal merchant.
00:12:45And let the local church proceed with his knighting as a baron.
00:12:49Yes, Your Majesty.
00:12:51Shereel, 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.
00:13:28The taste won't disappoint you.
00:13:30It's so cold outside.
00:13:32Why don't you go back and rest to keep warm?
00:13:36I'm about to marry my Mr. Right.

00:20:23Bella 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
00:20:28A 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
00:20:39Who 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 in 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
00:21:08The 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?
00:21:38No money
00:21:39No power
00:21:41No family name
00:21:42You're a nobody
00:21:43No different from a stray dog
00:21:45Begging 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
00:22:00In 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?
00:23:03I was born to be worshipped
00:23:05And you were born to kneel in the mud
00:23:10You've got some nerve
00:23:11Throw a tantrum in a sacred cathedral over my man
00:23:16You'd better think twice about whether your cheap little life
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, you lowlife
00:23:48Yell at my fiancées in the house of God
00:23:57Sarah, why aren't you back yet?
00:24:04So Eric
00:24:05The 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
00:25:02You're just a worker
00:25:04How dare a servant demand things from her boss?
00:25:08You're an orphan with no one
00:25:09The fact that I fed you at all was charity
00:25:11Don't push your luck
00:25:21Are you this desperate because you want to crawl into his bed?
00:25:27Kneel and beg me now
00:25:29Once I get pregnant
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
00:25:40Guards!
00:25:42Seize her!
00:25:48What are you doing?
00:25:52What are you doing?
00:25:54Shuri
00:25:54I am punishing you for your blatant insolence
00:25:57How dare a peasant disrespect a noble?
00:26:00Eric
00:26:00You break your promises
00:26:02Shame 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
00:26:23You know what to do
00:26:27Shuriya
00:26:28You asked for this
00:26:29Go to hell
00:26:38The shaman's divination results are out
00:26:40Shuriya is your daughter
00:26:41Die!
00:26:46Die!
00:26:50Die!
00:27:02Die!
00:27:05Die!
00:27:05Die!
00:27:05Die!
00:27:08Die!
00:27:10Die!
00:27:11Die!
00:27:11Die!
00:27:11Die!
00:27:11Die!
00:27:11Die!
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?
00:27:36You 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?
00:27:50Ma'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 the queen?
00:28:24Don't panic.
00:28:25The royal guard are the queen's personal soldiers.
00:28:27My father is Count Grove.
00:28:28If the queen came here, how could he not know?
00:28:30This woman is a fraud.
00:28:32Those aren't real royal guards.
00:28:33She hired actors to scare us with a cheap trick.
00:28:36Exactly.
00:28:37The queen must be in the capital.
00:28:38Why would she be here?
00:28:39You criminal!
00:28:41Importionating the queen!
00:28:42Go.
00:28:42Fetch 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.
00:28:51I'd like to see how Count Grove handles me when he sees me.
00:29:09My lord, urgent news from the cathedral.
00:29:12A lunatic is leading privateers, faking 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 impostory 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!
00:29:50Despokable?
00:29:51That's you, Eric.
00:29:52You stole Shireel's work to buy this title.
00:29:55You climbed to the top on her blood and sweat and 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.
00:30:05Shireel was so devoted to Eric.
00:30:07How could he break his vow?
00:30:08Shireel wove day and night for Eric and sold soup whenever she had time.
00:30:12We all saw her sacrifices.
00:30:17Shut up!
00:30:18The workshop is my property.
00:30:20She's just a lowly worker.
00:30:22Everything I have is what I deserve.
00:30:29Madam, thank you for standing up for me, but please, you must leave now.
00:30:34Count Grove is a monster and his men are merciless.
00:30:38Don't die for me.
00:30:39It's not worth your life.
00:30:41Don't be scared, dear.
00:30:42I 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.
00:30:59Eric!
00:31:00This old fraud is insane!
00:31:02She's helping Shireel spread lies about our family!
00:31:05Kill them!
00:31:06Don't let either of these bitches escape!
00:31:09Don'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 until the crows pick them clean.
00:31:22Just wait and see!
00:31:31What big talk?
00:31:33You break vows, kill the weak, and 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 and you'll lose your title, your wealth, and your head.
00:31:49Ridiculous!
00:31:50You think you can travel a thousand miles just 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!
00:32:00Submit 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!
00:32:11The gods are watching from above!
00:32:13The kingdom's laws won't be blinded forever by despicable people like you!
00:32:18Laws?
00:32:18Here, 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!
00:32:51Enough, 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.
00:33:40Opposing me is a crime punishable by death.
00:33:43You rats from the sewers were born to be trash under our feet.
00:33:46Now 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, you don't deserve to be nobles.
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!
00:35:03Daring to offend the Grove family on my territory!
00:35:07The gallows will be your final resting place today!
00:35:11Full speed ahead!
00:35:13Fire!
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 cheap bones 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 Maggy of the Groves?
00:37:42Get out here and face death!
00:37:53Who dares to impersonate the Queen here and offend the Majesty 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 Grove family in my city?
00:38:21My lord, this crazy woman ruined everything!
00:38:23She even brought thugs to impersonate the Royal Guard.
00:38:26Look 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 unrecognizable!
00:38:55I'll flay her alive!
00:38:56Inch by inch and let the whole city hear her finalizing 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!
00:39:05I'll let her 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.
00:39:25How can you say we don't know each other?
00:39:28We are the closest family.
00:39:32What do you mean?
00:39:34You two peasants, turn around!
00:39:40Count Grove, what an impressive display of authority.
00:39:47You are you.
00:39:57This woman's error.
00:39:59It'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!
00:40:16Make 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.
00:40:32That voice...
00:40:34sounds so familiar.
00:40:37Like I've heard it somewhere before.
00:40:39My father knows the Queen personally!
00:40:42Your little game is over!
00:40:45Father, speak up!
00:40:46Tell these fools!
00:40:47Is this madwoman really the Queen?
00:40:50When I had an audience with the Queen, there were layers of guards and soldiers.
00:40:54I didn't even dare lift my head.
00:40:56I only heard her voice.
00:40:59That proves it!
00:41:00She's a fake!
00:41:01The Queen's life is too precious!
00:41:03She would never travel without notifying the castles.
00:41:06She wouldn't be here with just a few thugs.
00:41:08Father, why are you waiting?
00:41:10Kill her!
00:41:10Exactly!
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,
00:41:31nor will I let these evil people succeed.
00:41:40Protect her majesty!
00:41:46Grove,
00:41:47you say I am an imposter,
00:41:49then 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,
00:42:18then we're finished.
00:42:20Even if we are torn to pieces,
00:42:22it won't pacify her anger.
00:42:26Wait.
00:42:27The peace she's holding,
00:42:29it looks exactly like the one I have.
00:42:31They belong together.
00:42:40My family is connected to royalty.
00:42:43This lady,
00:42:45who is she really?
00:42:49Father,
00:42:50look 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
00:42:59made by a cheap person like you!
00:43:01Of course!
00:43:03It's a fake!
00:43:04Shereel is a weaver.
00:43:05She 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
00:43:15and impersonate the Queen!
00:43:17This is absolute deseration
00:43:20of the sacred dignity
00:43:21of 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,
00:43:44please leave.
00:43:45I don't want you in danger
00:43:47because of me.
00:43:54Too late.
00:43:56None of you are leaving here now!
00:43:59Shereel!
00:44:00Your scam
00:44:01has been exposed!
00:44:02For the sake of our past,
00:44:04I'll ask the Count
00:44:05for 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,
00:44:16you would never have gotten the chance
00:44:18to be knighted as a baron.
00:44:19My coronation is because
00:44:21the royal family saw my capability.
00:44:25I earned it!
00:44:27What does it have to do
00:44:28with a peasant like her?
00:44:32If it weren't for the
00:44:34holly-patterned silk I wove,
00:44:35you would never have gotten that title!
00:44:38You should be grateful!
00:44:39If not for our weaving mill,
00:44:41you'd be a whore on the streets by now!
00:44:49Shereel gave you everything,
00:44:51and you betrayed her
00:44:52to climb the social ladder!
00:44:55You ungrateful snake!
00:44:57You don't deserve that title!
00:44:59You don't even deserve
00:45:00to stand in my presence!
00:45:02You damned fraud,
00:45:04impersonating the Queen!
00:45:05You have no right
00:45:06to judge me!
00:45:28It's just a peasant
00:45:29teaching them their place
00:45:31is my duty!
00:45:33You will pay
00:45:34for your actions!
00:45:37A fraud
00:45:38pretending to be the Queen
00:45:39thinks she can make
00:45:40a noble pay?
00:45:41What a massive joke!
00:45:42Even fine clothes
00:45:44can't hide
00:45:44your vulgar stench.
00:45:47That thing on your wrist
00:45:49is enough
00:45:49to expose
00:45:50your lowly status.
00:45:52A red string?
00:45:53That's a peasant's toy!
00:45:56Even slum kids
00:45:57wouldn't touch
00:45:58that filth!
00:45:59You expect us
00:46:00to believe the Queen
00:46:01would wear such
00:46:02a lowly piece of trash?
00:46:04Don't be joked!
00:46:07A red string?
00:46:08I told you,
00:46:10a lower-class weaver
00:46:11like Shereel
00:46:11couldn't possibly know
00:46:12any nobles.
00:46:13You're exposed.
00:46:15Look, everyone!
00:46:16This hand string
00:46:17probably isn't even worth
00:46:18a single coin!
00:46:20He's right.
00:46:22Why would the Queen
00:46:23wear a red string
00:46:23sold only in slums?
00:46:26The red string?
00:46:28Why does it break
00:46:29my heart to see it?
00:46:31My memory!
00:46:32This red string!
00:46:33What does it have
00:46:34to do with me?
00:46:39If you're going
00:46:40to pretend to be
00:46:40the Queen,
00:46:41don't you even
00:46:41have decent jewellery?
00:46:44Look closely,
00:46:45you old ham.
00:46:46This is 50 gold coins
00:46:47worth of luxury.
00:46:48A symbol of nobility.
00:46:50Only trash like you
00:46:51would wear a torn string.
00:46:53Understand the difference now?
00:46:57They showed Rhea's
00:46:59my two towns,
00:47:00and we're mine
00:47:00either Rhea's built
00:47:01bush that gold
00:47:02in this port.
00:47:03Even if it wore
00:47:04500 or 1,000 gold beers
00:47:06and wore Yen
00:47:07a meter of second.
00:47:09Everyone, listen!
00:47:10This crazy woman
00:47:12thinks her trashy string
00:47:13is a national treasure.
00:47:15I'm curious.
00:47:16Why is my
00:47:175,000 gold bracelet
00:47:19inferior to your
00:47:20filthy thread?
00:47:21Speak up!
00:47:22To you,
00:47:23it is a thread.
00:47:25To me,
00:47:26it is 10 years
00:47:26of a daughter's love.
00:47:28She saved every penny
00:47:30just to buy me
00:47:30this Christmas gift.
00:47:33Not all the gold
00:47:34in your treasury
00:47:34could ever match
00:47:35its worth.
00:47:37Ah, I see.
00:47:41So it was given
00:47:42by your daughter.
00:47:44What if I destroy it?
00:47:47Will it break
00:47:48your heart?
00:47:51No!
00:47:52No!
00:47:55No!
00:47:59No!
00:48:00No!
00:48:00No!
00:48:01No!
00:48:01No!
00:48:02No!
00:48:03No!
00:48:07No!
00:48:11You want my life?
00:48:13I already burned it!
00:48:14My father,
00:48:15Count Grove,
00:48:15is standing right here!
00:48:16If you have the guts,
00:48:18try and touch me!
00:48:19It's over.
00:48:22That was
00:48:22Her Majesty's
00:48:23weak spot.
00:48:25Weak spot?
00:48:27It's true.
00:48:28There was a duke
00:48:28who once called
00:48:29that string ugly.
00:48:31The queen
00:48:31turned on him
00:48:32instantly.
00:48:33She didn't just
00:48:34suppress his businesses.
00:48:35She erased his name
00:48:37from the nobility.
00:48:39Just because
00:48:40he insulted
00:48:41in a handstring,
00:48:42she ruined him?
00:48:43It wasn't just
00:48:44suppression.
00:48:45Overnight,
00:48:45his family was ruined.
00:48:47He lost all his land
00:48:48and ended up
00:48:49on the streets.
00:48:49He's worse off
00:48:50than a beggar now.
00:48:53This Bella
00:48:53not only mocked
00:48:54the handstring,
00:48:55but actually burned it.
00:48:56She truly doesn't know
00:48:57she's asking for death.
00:48:58It's just a worthless
00:48:59torn red string.
00:49:01It's your honor
00:49:02that my daughter
00:49:03burnt it.
00:49:04a torn string.
00:49:07It is worth more
00:49:09than every one
00:49:10of you combined.
00:49:15You bitch!
00:49:17How dare you
00:49:18look down on us!
00:49:23How dare you
00:49:24destroy the things
00:49:24I cherish.
00:49:25I will destroy
00:49:26all of you.
00:49:29Bitch,
00:49:29watch closely!
00:49:39What can you do
00:49:40about it?
00:49:45You are going
00:49:46too far!
00:49:48They have thoroughly
00:49:49enraged the Queen.
00:49:51These fools are doomed
00:49:52beyond redemption.
00:49:55The local guards
00:49:56here aren't enough.
00:49:58I must summon
00:49:59the royal guard
00:50:00immediately.
00:50:06Your string
00:50:07is gone now.
00:50:08What can you
00:50:09possibly do
00:50:10to me?
00:50:25I'm sorry.
00:50:27I'm sorry.
00:50:29My daughter.
00:50:31My daughter.
00:50:33I'm sorry.
00:50:34I'm sorry.
00:50:36Go mourn in prison.
00:50:38Guards,
00:50:39arrest them all!
00:50:44I will
00:50:45completely
00:50:46destroy.
00:50:54That sounds like
00:50:55movement from
00:50:55outside.
00:50:57Every single
00:50:58one of you.
00:51:00An army!
00:51:01It's the royal guard!
00:51:11Why would the royal
00:51:13guard be here?
00:51:25All hail her majesty!
00:51:28May the royal power
00:51:29shine forever!
00:51:35all hail her majesty!
00:51:37May the royal power
00:51:39shine forever!
00:51:53Your majesty, please forgive my ignorance.
00:51:57I didn't know it was you.
00:51:58Mercy, your majesty.
00:52:00Please have mercy.
00:52:02Enough.
00:52:03You've treated my people like trash
00:52:05and disgraced your rank.
00:52:07Today, you lose everything.
00:52:09I revoke your titles
00:52:10and seize your lands.
00:52:11The Grove family
00:52:12is exiled to the northern ice fields
00:52:14for eternity.
00:52:15Guards, drag them out of my sight.
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,
00:52:35I 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.
00:52:45Confiscate 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
00:52:56and took all the malice for me
00:52:58is actually the supreme queen of the kingdom.
00:53:01Why?
00:53:02Why do I feel she is so kind?
00:53:05So familiar?
00:53:08It was my negligence that allowed nobles to bully the innocent.
00:53:12From now on,
00:53:13I 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.
00:53:41Your 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.
00:53:59What are you talking about?
00:54:01I am just an amnesiac orphan.
00:54:03You have never owed me anything.
00:54:08Your majesty, what exactly does this pendant mean?
00:54:11I have a matching half too.
00:54:12Maybe, maybe 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.
00:54:38Greetings, 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,
00:54:57I 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?
00:55:25Where is my family?
00:55:40This holly pattern.
00:55:42This unique embroidery style.
00:55:45It's exactly the same as what I designed.
00:55:48How 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.
00:56:05It's beautiful.
00:56:08This is my only precious belonging left.
00:56:12We'll each keep half.
00:56:14Mom, we'll never abandon you.
00:56:17We will never be apart.
00:56:25Mom, you have to live on.
00:56:34You, you're okay.
00:56:36It's so good to see you healthy and alive.
00:56:40My little princess.
00:56:46Mom, finally found you.
00:56:50Mom, 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.
00:57:10Shereel 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!
00:57:18The 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!
00:57:26Shereel 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.
00:57:34Shearing loved you deeply.
00:57:36But what if you can find a chance to win her heart back?
00:57:39How 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.
00:58:17I can't just help anyone unconditionally who asks me.
00:58:24Get 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.
00:58:33Go back to your ditch.
00:58:34My lord, have mercy.
00:58:35I'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, I 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 honour 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.
00:59:08Sheer, my dear princess.
00:59:11Just wait.
00:59:12Everything you possess now will soon be back under my control.
00:59:22My darling, you need a shield.
00:59:24Not just a husband.
00:59:25A knight who will never fail you.
00:59:27And I found him.
00:59:28Your future husband.
00:59:30Duke Eris.
00:59:36Mother, I don't want to get married.
00:59:41Eris returns in triumph from the southern front.
00:59:44He is more than just a brilliant commander.
00:59:46He is a man of honour and a pure soul.
00:59:49He is not like the others, Shirik.
00:59:53A man's vow is like spring ice.
00:59:55It shatters the moment you lean on it.
00:59:58I thought I found love, but it was just a cold-blooded trap.
01:00:03Mother, 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.
01:00:15One 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.
01:00:31You 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 highborn 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.
01:01:11There are heavily armed royal knights outside.
01:01:14How could a stripped common man pass through layers of blockages into the high tower?
01:01:17Who 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.
01:01:29What 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.
01:02:23Ah!
01:02:30Ah!
01:02:31Ah!
01:02:31Ah!
01:02:32Ah!
01:02:32Ah!
01:02:32Ah!
01:02:33Ah!
01:02:33Ah!
01:02:35Ah!
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!
01:03:12An 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.
01:03:39I 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.
01:03:45I'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.
01:04:22I'm scared.
01:04:24Shereel!
01:04:25Thank God you're safe.
01:04:27Sarah told me a thug broke in.
01:04:28My 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?

01:07:31and the best part when the captain went to check his other arm the idiot was flailing around like a
01:07:36headless chicken
01:07:37panicked by the captain and fell right into his arms got kicked away like a sack of potatoes

01:10:13I'm scared
01:10:20My lord!
01:10:27Report to the Duke.
01:10:28Every person in the palace has been inspected.
01:10:31No assassin with a wounded right arm found.
01:10:35New command. Search every corner.
01:10:38No unidentified person hides inside these walls.
01:10:40Yes, my lord.
01:10:42Duke Aris.
01:10:43Is he really still here?
01:10:46I keep feeling eyes on me.
01:10:48Cold eyes.
01:10:50Watching from somewhere dark.
01:10:52Your Highness, I will find him.
01:10:55And I will personally end him.
01:10:58I trust you, Aris.
01:11:00Then let's keep training.
01:11:02Total strength.
01:11:04Unshakable confidence.
01:11:06That's how you survive.
01:11:14If I wasn't being hunted by those dogs...
01:11:20Why would I end up rolling in that disgusting manure barrel?
01:11:23This stench.
01:11:24It won't come off.
01:11:27Shereel.
01:11:28In that damned night...
01:11:31I will make you both pay for my humiliation.
01:11:42Your Highness, why did you summon me at this hour?
01:11:46Instead of letting this assassin lurk like a snake in the dark,
01:11:50wait to strike whenever he chooses,
01:11:52we should dig his grave ourselves and lure him in.
01:11:56Your Highness,
01:11:58what are you proposing?
01:12:03I want to take the initiative.
01:12:05What exactly?
01:12:06Spread the word that the assassin was caught.
01:12:08Then two nights from now I'll go to the prayer room alone to pray.
01:12:11No guards.
01:12:12Only two personal maids.
01:12:13So he doesn't get suspicious.
01:12:15No ambush troops.
01:12:16Only you.
01:12:17Hidden in the dark.
01:12:18Absolutely not.
01:12:19That is gambling with your life.
01:12:21Aris,
01:12:23living in endless fear is no life at all.
01:12:26Better to let him walk right into the trap we set for him.
01:12:33One thing goes wrong, you could be in real danger.
01:12:36I've learned a lot from you these past few days.
01:12:39Nothing will happen.
01:12:41Trust me.
01:12:46Alright.
01:12:49I'm listening to you.
01:12:58Did you hear?
01:12:59They actually caught the assassin.
01:13:04I heard that too.
01:13:05To thank the gods,
01:13:06the princess is going to the prayer room tomorrow night.
01:13:08She's not even taking guards.
01:13:10Just one maid.
01:13:10She said she doesn't want to disturb the gods.
01:13:13Praying alone,
01:13:14my chance has come.
01:13:24That man we found,
01:13:25the sword wound on his arm,
01:13:27it's from a blade, right?
01:13:28Who cares what kind of wound it is?
01:13:29He passed out on a deserted road.
01:13:31If we hadn't found him,
01:13:32he'd be dead.
01:13:32When he were getting paid for this.
01:13:34Where is he?
01:13:35At the physician's.
01:13:37I will catch him and hand him to you myself.
01:13:39Why is the Duke in such a hurry?
01:13:41Probably concerned about one of his men.
01:13:43I heard that the injured man is part of the royal guard.
01:13:50Who are you?
01:13:51I've never seen you before.
01:13:52I was just transferred from the outer court by her majesty.
01:13:55She was worried the prayer room was too cold.
01:13:57She ordered me to bring this tribute incense,
01:13:59so her highness stays alert before the gods.
01:14:03Since her majesty requested it.
01:14:05Go in.
01:14:15Mary,
01:14:16didn't I say not to disturb me while I'm confessing?
01:14:18Your highness,
01:14:19her majesty is concerned about your health.
01:14:21This incense will help you draw closer to the gods.
01:14:26Incense?
01:14:26Just leave it there.
01:14:33Long time no see, my princess.
01:14:36I've missed you.
01:14:37It is him.
01:14:39It is him.
01:14:48Looks like my knockout powder worked.
01:14:50The maid has already fallen asleep.
01:14:55What happened?
01:14:56Why didn't Eris come in?
01:15:05Where is the man with the sword wound on his arm?
01:15:13Is he from the guard?
01:15:15Yes, he got that sword wound over ten days ago.
01:15:19You told him to wrestle,
01:15:20but he collapsed on the road
01:15:21and was brought here.
01:15:23Oh no.
01:15:28Struggle, my princess.
01:15:30Here, in this holy prayer room,
01:15:32I will personally crush
01:15:33your arrogant pride.
01:15:43Did you think you can fight back against me?
01:15:53Let me see who you really are.
01:16:03It's you,
01:16:05Erik.
01:16:07Shiryant,
01:16:08you were supposed to wail beneath my body
01:16:11and become my gold ticket.
01:16:12Shut up!
01:16:13Give him thirty lashes,
01:16:15throw him in the dungeon
01:16:16and report to her majesty
01:16:17that the assassin has been caught.
01:16:20Forgive me, your grace.
01:16:21I let a decoy distract me
01:16:23and left you defenseless
01:16:24against that maniac.
01:16:26If you had been hurt,
01:16:27my life wouldn't have been enough
01:16:28to pay for my failure.
01:16:29I've failed you.
01:16:31Eris,
01:16:31look at me.
01:16:33It was your technique.
01:16:35Your strength is in me.
01:16:37You gave me the power to fight.
01:16:39But I should protect you,
01:16:40not made you do it yourself.
01:16:42I cannot forgive myself.
01:16:45If that's the case,
01:16:46then I will give you a punishment.
01:16:52If that's the case,
01:16:53then I will give you a punishment.
01:16:56Guard my side every moment
01:16:58for the rest of your life.
01:16:59Never look away.
01:17:01Be my sole protector
01:17:02for a lifetime.
01:17:05Your Highness,
01:17:07do you mean it to me?
01:17:09This isn't a punishment,
01:17:11but a reward.
01:17:11Will you accept it,
01:17:12my Duke Heiress?
01:17:13I swear to protect you
01:17:15for eternity.
01:17:28By royal decree,
01:17:30Eric Gray,
01:17:30a mere commoner,
01:17:31has attempted to assassinate
01:17:33the princess.
01:17:34Sorry.
01:17:35Eric,
01:17:36what is he saying?
01:17:38By royal law
01:17:39and Her Majesty's will,
01:17:40Eric Gray
01:17:41is hereby stripped
01:17:42of all civil rights.
01:17:44In three days,
01:17:45he shall hang by the neck
01:17:47until dead.
01:17:50Now is not the time to cry.
01:17:52We have one last option.
01:17:56What else can we do?
01:17:58We can't even touch
01:18:00the palace walls now.
01:18:02Since we stay here
01:18:03waiting for death,
01:18:04we might as well
01:18:05risk it all.
01:18:06What do you mean?
01:18:07An unwed princess
01:18:09caught in a commoner's room.
01:18:12The rumors alone
01:18:13would ruin you forever.
01:18:14Yes!
01:18:15We can use her reputation
01:18:17against her
01:18:17and force her
01:18:19to spare our son.
01:18:20The royal family
01:18:21values reputation
01:18:22above all else.
01:18:23Maybe the queen
01:18:23will even marry
01:18:24Shirel to Eric.
01:18:25Then our good times
01:18:26will be back.
01:18:27Let's do it.
01:18:28We only have a few years
01:18:29left in this broken shed anyway.
01:18:30We either save our son
01:18:31and live a good life
01:18:32or we drag that little bitch
01:18:33to hell with us.
01:18:42God bless you,
01:18:43kind princess.
01:18:44I've never seen royalty
01:18:46this approachable.
01:18:46Not a trace of noble arrogance
01:18:48in her eyes.
01:18:51Shirel isn't arrogant.
01:18:53Because not long ago
01:18:54she was just a grubby weaver
01:18:56dealing in coarse linen
01:18:57all day.
01:18:58You folks probably
01:18:59don't know this
01:19:00but this noble princess
01:19:01used to live with our family.
01:19:03No name of her own
01:19:03back then.
01:19:04And her only ambition
01:19:05was to cling to my son,
01:19:06Eric.
01:19:07Poor thing.
01:19:08To keep her claws in Eric
01:19:09she would use bringing dinner
01:19:11as an excuse
01:19:11to sneak into a man's bedroom
01:19:13late at night.
01:19:15She'd stay for hours.
01:19:16And the noises
01:19:17behind that door.
01:19:19Holy mother,
01:19:19it was unbearable.
01:19:21Could it be
01:19:22her highness
01:19:23has already been with a man?
01:19:24If she really fooled about
01:19:26with a commoner man
01:19:27in his bedroom night
01:19:28that is the greatest stain
01:19:29on the royal family's reputation.
01:19:43It's been so long.
01:19:45You must be doing well.
01:19:46Make the queen
01:19:46stop the execution
01:19:47now
01:19:48and announce
01:19:48you'll marry him
01:19:49or I'll leak
01:19:50every filthy tale
01:19:51of your intimate knights.
01:19:52The crown won't hesitate
01:19:54to disown
01:19:54a disgraced heir.
01:19:55Shut your mouth
01:19:56You liar.
01:19:57My relationship
01:19:58with Eric was clean.
01:19:59We never crossed
01:20:00a single line.
01:20:01Go ahead.
01:20:02Try to smear my name
01:20:03with your trash.
01:20:04See who survives.
01:20:05Back in the Black Rock City workshop
01:20:07who was sneaking
01:20:08into my son's room
01:20:09on cold nights?
01:20:10Who spent those
01:20:11secret afternoons
01:20:12glued to my poor Eric?
01:20:14Why won't you
01:20:15just admit it?
01:20:16Does that mean
01:20:16the princess did
01:20:17forbidden things
01:20:19with a man?
01:20:19What a disgrace
01:20:20to the royal name.
01:20:21That never happened.
01:20:23You are lying.
01:20:24Klerus is here.
01:20:29Lord Duke
01:20:30perfect timing.
01:20:31She and my son
01:20:32were lovers
01:20:32doing shameful things
01:20:34in that humble bedroom.
01:20:35Do not marry her.
01:20:46No, no.
01:20:47That's not true.
01:20:49It absolutely is.
01:20:52Cheryl and Eric's affair
01:20:53is known to all
01:20:54of Black Rock City.
01:20:55She has been
01:20:56my son's woman
01:20:56for years.
01:20:58You cannot marry her.
01:20:59Your Duke
01:21:00is valiant
01:21:01and noble.
01:21:02He shouldn't marry
01:21:03a woman like that.
01:21:06No.
01:21:07Is he going
01:21:08to doubt me too?
01:21:09Yes.
01:21:12enough!
01:21:13Put away your
01:21:14sickening, clumsy acting.
01:21:16Iris,
01:21:17do you trust me?
01:21:20Of course I trust you.
01:21:21You are my fiancé,
01:21:23my future wife,
01:21:24the mother of my future children,
01:21:25the person I want
01:21:26to spend my life with.
01:21:27I would even
01:21:28entrust my life to you.
01:21:29How could I not trust you?
01:21:33Her Highness would never
01:21:34do such a thing.
01:21:35I stake my name on it.
01:21:39You despicable parasites.
01:21:41Dare to frame
01:21:42the jewel of the kingdom?
01:21:44You are not only
01:21:46insulting my fiancé,
01:21:47but trampling the glory
01:21:50of the entire kingdom!
01:21:53Shut up,
01:21:54you blood-sucking leeches!
01:21:56I am a merchant
01:21:57from Black Rock City.
01:21:59I've always seen
01:22:00Miss Sherrill
01:22:00doing laundry
01:22:01in the freezing winter
01:22:02while you sat by the fire.
01:22:04You're not nobles,
01:22:05you're thieves!
01:22:07She's innocent!
01:22:08The Greys
01:22:09started those rumours
01:22:11to force the princess
01:22:12to marry into their family.
01:22:14They used her
01:22:15to save their son.
01:22:16They're the real monsters here!
01:22:25You disrespect
01:22:26the royal family
01:22:27and slander the princess.
01:22:29Tomorrow at noon,
01:22:30you and Eric
01:22:31will repent
01:22:32on the gallows.
01:23:00The fireworks
01:23:01celebrating our wedding
01:23:02are so beautiful.
01:23:05We are finally couples.
01:23:06I can protect you
01:23:07by your side forever.
01:23:08Eris,
01:23:09thank you.
01:23:10When everyone wanted
01:23:11to drag me into the abyss,
01:23:12only you held my hand
01:23:14tight all along.
01:23:15And thank me with a kiss.
01:23:16and I'll see you next time.
01:23:21I'll see you next time.
01:23:21I'll see you next time.
01:23:23I'll see you next time.
01:23:23I'll see you next time.
01:23:23I'll see you next time.
