00:00:11Boil the bones for broth. Slice the meat raw. That's when it's best. Three coppers.
00:00:42Protect the commander!
00:00:47Leaving with poison darts is a real bad way to say hello.
00:00:51Your majesty, forgive us. I'm Commander Sarn of Dragonblood Keep. My aid overstepped. I ask you to look past it.
00:00:58The southern tribes have broken through. The Ashlands have fallen. Our Dragonrider Lejanes are being pushed back on every front.
00:01:04Your dragon force is the only thing standing against their sorcery. Your majesty, the realm needs you back. Put on
00:01:13your armor. Finish this.
00:01:15I've been done with all of this for years. I don't want any part of it. All I want is
00:01:19a quiet life with my daughter. Go home, Commander.
00:01:24Your majesty!
00:01:32Elia, come here.
00:01:34You're...
00:01:36Who are you?
00:01:39We're Elia's birth parents.
00:01:44Enemy forces struck 15 years ago. We lost our daughter in the chaos. We've searched every corner of this continent
00:01:51to find her.
00:01:54We came today to bring her home. Nothing more. Whatever you need from us, name it. We'll make it right.
00:02:00This isn't about what I need. I've raised Elia as my own. If you want to take her, that's her
00:02:05choice to make. She doesn't want to go. Nobody touches her. Nobody.
00:02:08Mom, you and my sisters have been everything to me. But there's always been this feeling I couldn't name. A
00:02:16pull towards my birth parents.
00:02:19I want to know what that's like. What family by blood actually feels like.
00:02:28She wants to go, fine. But if anything happens to her, anything at all, I will not let that go.
00:02:37Not ever.
00:02:39You have my word. She's our daughter. We'll take good care of her.
00:02:43She has a heart condition. She can't take shock or stress. Watch her closely. You're her parents now. That means
00:02:50everything. Let's go.
00:02:59I'm scared.
00:03:20Mother, today's Elia's birthday. Arthur and I came all this way just for her. Where is she?
00:03:25She found her birth parents.
00:03:28What?
00:03:28A merchant couple in the city. Lorenzo and Varda Elby.
00:03:33A merchant. The richest woman in Dragonblood, Hope, and the War King's sister. And her birth father is some small
00:03:38damn trader.
00:03:39I tracked down the Star Moon gem for her, the only one in the entire world. And now I've missed
00:03:43her.
00:03:45She gets to be with her own blood. That's a good thing. We should be happy for her.
00:03:50Speaking of which, Mother, the Black Cloak Legion has been tearing through the South. They've even drawn out the Frostwood,
00:03:56sealed away for a thousand years.
00:03:58Every lord in every territory is rattled. I'd like to ask you to step back in. Help us wipe them
00:04:04out.
00:04:05Aelia's with her family now. I've got nothing left to hold me here. I'll deal with them myself.
00:04:15Stop, please.
00:04:21Let me go! If you take any more, I'll die! I swear I'll die!
00:04:30My darling, are you alright? Quickly, give it to Ramsher now!
00:04:34My lord, my lady, two more large extractions of bone marrow and Miss Ramsher's blood-waving disease will be fully
00:04:40cured.
00:04:41Is that true? Oh, my precious girl, you won't have to suffer anymore.
00:04:46I'm finally going to be well. I'm going to be normal.
00:04:52Then our alliance with Minister Ward's family in the Southern Territory can proceed on schedule.
00:04:58Father, Mother, why are you doing this to me? I'm your daughter, your own flesh and blood!
00:05:03You think we'd have gone all the way to that backwater fishing village for you if Ramsher didn't need your
00:05:07marrow to survive? Think again.
00:05:08You're worthless life for Ramsher's. You should be on your knees planking us.
00:05:13Father, Mother, I have a heart condition. I can't take any more. I will die. Please.
00:05:29Be a good girl, little sister. Stay in your dungeon and be my medicine.
00:05:40Be careful, baby. Let's go. Come on.
00:05:45Keep your eyes on her. She doesn't die until those last two tubes are drained. You hear me?
00:06:02Mother, what's wrong? I don't know. Something's off.
00:06:04Aelia's been with the LBs three months now and we haven't heard a single word from her. Not one.
00:06:08I don't know if she's all right. She hasn't reached out to us either.
00:06:12It's not like her. Something's wrong.
00:06:16I'm going to see her myself. I'm going to the LB house.
00:06:22Coming with you.
00:06:23I'll go alone. The front lines won't hold themselves. I need both of you here.
00:06:33Excuse me. Whose wedding is it today?
00:06:35Our young mistress, obviously. She's marrying the son of Minister Ward from the Southern Territory.
00:06:39How does a village woman like you not know about this? Get out of here.
00:06:44My daughter's wedding day.
00:06:46I'm going to make sure she walks out of here in style.
00:06:56Commander, the Holy Blood Empress's foster daughter is getting married today.
00:07:01Say that again?
00:07:03The Empress is already in the capital.
00:07:06These past three months, it was her working in the shadows that saved our dragon crystal veins across the keep.
00:07:11Her foster daughter's wedding day and I'm not there with a gift?
00:07:14I'm going myself.
00:07:15I'll have everything ready.
00:07:22This must be the place.
00:07:26With this, it doesn't matter where you are. I'll always be able to find you.
00:07:34Aelia, where are you?
00:07:36Why has the connection gone dead?
00:07:38My precious girl.
00:07:39The most beautiful bride in the world.
00:07:41A little while longer and you'll be completely well.
00:07:47Ramshaw, you've recovered so fast. You look more beautiful than ever.
00:07:52Damon!
00:07:53My boy, back from the front.
00:07:56Uncle, congratulations.
00:07:58The commander gave me leave.
00:07:59And he also said the Empress herself is coming to the wedding today.
00:08:02She's going to light the sacred fire and bless our family.
00:08:05Damon, the Holy Blood Empress is actually coming?
00:08:09She's the sovereign's most honoured guest.
00:08:11Why on earth would she come to my daughter's wedding?
00:08:14My brother, Luca, is one of the four great generals.
00:08:16The Empress is coming out of respect for him.
00:08:18Mark my words, our place among the southern ribalty is right around the corner.
00:08:22Draw more blood from that Elby girl today.
00:08:25Make sure Ramshaw holds up through the ceremony.
00:08:28I will not have the Lorenzo name embarrassed in front of the Empress.
00:08:32Yes, my lord.
00:08:41The Master says the Empress is coming to the wedding.
00:08:45You need more blood out of here.
00:08:47Mommy's coming?
00:08:48This is my only chance.
00:08:49I have to get out of here.
00:08:51I have to find her.
00:08:53Something's wrong.
00:08:54I can't breathe.
00:08:55My chest.
00:08:57Please, help me.
00:08:58Your heart acting up?
00:09:00Don't you dare die on me right now.
00:09:02Stay still.
00:09:04Please, let me out.
00:09:06I'm not going to make it.
00:09:08Please.
00:09:19She's still not responding.
00:09:21The crystal signal is barely there.
00:09:23What is going on?
00:09:32Please welcome the bride and groom.
00:09:38So she's already in the hall.
00:09:40Why couldn't it have been that wretch who got sick?
00:09:43Why does our daughter have to be the one who suffers?
00:09:45Enough.
00:09:46Stop whining and get ready.
00:09:48Both of you.
00:09:49Going to the hall.
00:09:50The Holy Blood Empress is coming and today will be the greatest day in the history of the Lorenzo family.
00:09:58Mom, she came for me.
00:10:00I can't die here.
00:10:01I have mom.
00:10:02I have my sister and my brother.
00:10:04I'm getting out.
00:10:23The Lorenzo's started out as street vendors, you know, clawing their way up to southern natality.
00:10:27That's no small thing.
00:10:28And the ward boy is quite the catch.
00:10:30The Lorenzo girl, though, she does look a bit frail.
00:10:32That's why Lorenzo spoils her the way he does.
00:10:34The girl's never been well.
00:10:36Looks like they've been taking good care of her.
00:10:38That's all I needed to know.
00:10:40Aaliyah, today mom is going to make you the happiest bride in the world.
00:10:59My lord.
00:11:00The girl knocked the witch doctor out.
00:11:02She's gone.
00:11:02We don't know where she is.
00:11:03How did you let this happen?
00:11:05Find her now.
00:11:06If she's not back in my hands, every one of you is finished.
00:11:10Useless.
00:11:11Every last one of you.
00:11:12You just let that girl walk out.
00:11:15If she ruins this wedding, if she makes a scene in front of the Empress, I will have you all
00:11:21torn apart.
00:11:21But you will find her when she was out there.
00:11:21The yo-go and I know the Mandy is this lady.
00:11:21Of course.
00:11:21I believe this would help.
00:11:21It starts with the titacco.
