00:03:10Welcome home.
00:03:46I have long awaited your arrival, my friend.
00:03:49How may I assist you, my lord?
00:03:51I would have you swear fealty and loyalty to me as you once did.
00:03:57I swear to serve my lord, whatever he wishes me, and I shall carry it out to the best of
00:04:03my own ability.
00:04:06Rise, my knight.
00:04:11I have asked that this court be emptied before I share with you what it is you must know.
00:04:18My trust in those around me, it wanes with each passing day.
00:04:25The Idlach has threatened the life of my beloved Baroness.
00:04:31The Harkari have marked their prey.
00:04:35The Harkari?
00:04:37What business does the Ring of Shadowblades have in Prev?
00:04:41Our skirmishes with the Idlach's forces in Salar have gone favorably for a time.
00:04:47But they have decided to strike at my heart.
00:04:51If my army but crosses their new border, my lady's life will be forfeit.
00:05:01Cedric, I require utmost surety.
00:05:04If you're vigilant, I stand.
00:05:08A true knight of covenant you are indeed.
00:05:12I almost wish...
00:05:14My lord.
00:05:17It's true your knight has arrived, yes?
00:05:20Perhaps, my love, you can see for yourself.
00:05:24Sir Cedric.
00:05:26Lady Alicia.
00:05:29It's been some time.
00:05:31Eight years.
00:05:32Eight years, indeed.
00:05:35My lord, I think I should go for a walk along the castle grounds now.
00:05:39In but a few moments, my darling.
00:05:42I'll see to it Master Cedric accompanies you.
00:05:45Well then.
00:05:46My lord.
00:05:48Master Cedric.
00:05:57She's grown even more radiant these past eight years, hasn't she?
00:06:02She...
00:06:04Has indeed.
00:06:06Noble Cedric.
00:06:07The Lady Decor is everything.
00:06:10You must not fail me.
00:06:13Well, not.
00:06:14I know you won't.
00:06:16Now leave an old man to himself.
00:06:18I shall want my beloved's new protector to acquaint himself to his home once again.
00:06:44When did they start letting street rats live here?
00:06:50Cedric Bale?
00:06:51Deacon!
00:06:54Get you!
00:06:55Knight of Covenant!
00:06:57Looks good.
00:06:59Did you just get in?
00:07:00Surprised you didn't hear the bear's illustrious welcome for me.
00:07:03Well, I wouldn't take that to you personally, Cedric.
00:07:06He's been giving those for everyone.
00:07:08Even street rats.
00:07:11When did you arrive?
00:07:13Oh, just a few days before yourself.
00:07:15Highness said for me to be called from the front lines just a few moons past.
00:07:18Well, look at you.
00:07:21Captain of the guard.
00:07:23It's been a week, and I've already started to grow bored, Cedric.
00:07:26But hey, beats the lady against the law, though, right?
00:07:29Hmm.
00:07:31Where are you off to now?
00:07:32My quarters.
00:07:34We'll make a round there, then.
00:07:35Please do.
00:07:36All right.
00:07:37I might even have some cheese for you.
00:07:38Hmm.
00:07:39Clever boy.
00:07:45I suppose you've seen her.
00:07:49Uh-huh.
00:07:51Cedric.
00:07:51A lot of things have happened.
00:07:54Perhaps you might...
00:07:56Please, forgive me.
00:07:58Renee?
00:07:59The lady to court has requested Sir Cedric's presence in the castle courtyard.
00:08:03I can tell you what.
00:08:27NAD?
00:08:28Sir Cedric has requested?
00:08:30Go on, Hone, that would be all.
00:08:34Alicia, I...
00:08:35Not here, Senat.
00:08:37Come.
00:08:45Surely a kind day, is it not?
00:08:49Alicia, I...
00:08:52I have nothing to say.
00:08:55Eight years, and now the wording habits your mind.
00:08:58No, it's not that.
00:08:59It's just...
00:09:03I forget how secluded you knights are from the rest of the world.
00:09:07Off slaying monsters and demons, no doubt,
00:09:10in no time for the petty squabbles of lesser people.
00:09:13What happened?
00:09:15How came you to be wed to the Baron?
00:09:18I ask myself that same question many a night.
00:09:22After the death of his lady Syphila,
00:09:24I thought his intentions towards me,
00:09:26the lowly courts of I was,
00:09:30was simply out of a quest for an heir.
00:09:32Given my position and duty, who was I to deny him?
00:09:36I'm sorry.
00:09:38After the doctors informed him it was his infertility that broke his family line,
00:09:42I thought I would be cast aside.
00:09:45But I wasn't.
00:09:47He married me nonetheless out of love.
00:09:50And these last eight years he has loved me.
00:09:53I wish I had known.
00:09:56He's not the only one who has.
00:10:00I have done my duty to return his love and keep my honor.
00:10:11There was a place I had been to once before as a child.
00:10:15It was an old court world my mother once brought me to,
00:10:18by the edge of the Asturian Sea.
00:10:22Sometimes I would imagine myself sitting by the edge of the white-blue waters,
00:10:29watching the ever-beating waves crash against the shoreline,
00:10:33away from this place,
00:10:36away from everything.
00:10:40And sometimes
00:10:42I would imagine you were there with me,
00:10:44but
00:10:46no matter how hard I tried,
00:10:47I could not see your face.
00:10:56Alicia.
00:10:59I can see your face now, though.
00:11:02It has whiskers and wrinkles it did not before.
00:11:09I dreamt of you every night.
00:11:11And I labored for you every night.
00:11:28Forgive me.
00:11:35I'm glad you were back, sir, Cedric.
00:11:51You think I'm doing the right thing, Deacon?
00:11:55With Cedric?
00:11:56With everything.
00:11:58I trust him.
00:12:00But in my heart, I feel overwrought.
00:12:04I would not let it bother you, sir, my lord.
00:12:06I have known him to be a good man.
00:12:09Yes.
00:12:11But good men are still men, are they not?
00:12:14How can I know he will not dishonor me?
00:12:18And her?
00:12:22There will always be men, my lord.
00:12:24There are no men like Cedric Vale.
00:12:31I have a task for you.
00:12:35Send a scout to carry on.
00:12:37I've heard that my nephew, the prince,
00:12:40is camped there.
00:12:41The bloodied prince of press.
00:12:44I would like his counsel in these matters of war.
00:12:50That is your wish, my lord.
00:12:51I will not take the像 of God.
00:12:54I see you.
00:12:55I hold that one.
00:12:59Oh, sure.
00:13:01Oh, sure.
00:13:03Oh, yeah.
00:13:04Oh.
00:13:06Oh, yeah.
00:13:26I don't know.
00:13:59I don't know.
00:14:41I don't know.
00:14:52I don't know.
00:14:54I don't know.
00:15:00I don't know.
00:15:07I don't know.
00:15:19I don't know.
00:15:21I don't know.
00:15:27I don't know.
00:15:36I don't know.
00:15:38I don't know.
00:16:06I don't know.
00:16:09I don't know.
00:16:10I don't know.
00:16:16I don't know.
00:16:17I don't know.
00:16:18I don't know.
00:16:21I don't know.
00:16:22I don't know.
00:16:24I don't know.
00:16:24I don't know.
00:16:28I don't know.
00:16:29I don't know.
00:16:32I don't know.
00:16:43I don't know.
00:16:44I don't know.
00:17:00I don't know.
00:17:23I don't know.
00:17:31I don't know.
00:17:46I don't know.
00:18:00I don't know.
00:18:03I don't know.
00:18:06I don't know.
00:18:08I don't know.
00:18:17I simply wish to know if I'm taking the right course, staying and putting her life in danger.
00:18:29Perhaps, perhaps I should have taken her and fled at the first mention of the Hakari.
00:18:36I had simply thought it was a honorable threat.
00:18:39You keep your forces out of Solara and they have no need to send their assassins.
00:18:44You believe these men have honor.
00:18:48If word is true, they could easily infiltrate any stronghold in Astoria with ease.
00:18:56These walls are strong, but can they ward off men with that kind of power?
00:19:04Is that not what I'm here for?
00:19:11I pray you never see a moment's action in all the time you spend here.
00:19:18But I am barren.
00:19:21The people of Prez look to me for strength and to let the Tareed intimidate us and take our lands.
00:19:29I cannot let it stand.
00:19:34Prepare for war another day, will you?
00:19:36Perhaps a compromise in peace is the best path to take for both nations.
00:19:44I will consider this, but I will not take one counsel alone.
00:19:51I must consult with all of my counselors.
00:19:56Only then will I dictate.
00:20:03I shall see you tonight then.
00:20:06We are to dine in my own private quarters.
00:20:09See you guys.
00:20:30Renee.
00:20:32Her Majesty left this for me.
00:20:35Not to my knowledge, Melody.
00:20:53hello my love what is it my lord you assume i did not come only to bask in your beauty
00:21:02tonight we will have dinner with my nephew prince erathos a lion in man's clothing that one is
00:21:09indeed though i thought perhaps you would dress in something for me
00:21:21it's beautiful handmaiden
00:21:28i'll have it ready for the lady before sunday my lord
00:21:32until then
00:21:58so
00:22:05so
00:22:07so
00:22:07so
00:22:44Oh, I apologize, nephew.
00:22:46My left hand is reserved for the Baroness.
00:22:50By all means, Your Grace.
00:22:52Thank you, my lord.
00:22:58A moment, nephew.
00:23:05We praise the Annenheim.
00:23:07And we offer thanks for his many blessings upon us.
00:23:23If I may, Prince, how fares the conflict and carry on?
00:23:28Well, we've pushed us along to really back to the River Plains.
00:23:32Took quite a few of their number out with us on our last skirmish, too.
00:23:35Since then, we've stopped at the border.
00:23:39Wise.
00:23:40We wouldn't want to break any trees with the Itlock by pushing further, would we?
00:23:44Indeed, we would not.
00:23:47Forgive me, Your Grace, but I do believe giving them a chance to regroup could be seen as ill oversight.
00:23:53I feel my hands are tied, Arathas.
00:23:57And I would prefer that we do not discuss these matters at my table.
00:24:02Tied as they may be.
00:24:03I cannot imagine you're simply going to let them get away with their crime.
00:24:06The Baron requested us silent on this matter, or did you not hear him?
00:24:11And who are you who would speak to me thus?
00:24:14I would have no harsh endeavors at my table.
00:24:18Arathas, this is Sir Cedric Vale.
00:24:26You're a Knight of Covenant, yes?
00:24:29Indeed, I am.
00:24:32You know, I admire your order.
00:24:35A bit archaic for my taste, but the warriors they produce?
00:24:44I almost wonder if, if you might humor me, perhaps we could have a sporting competition of blades.
00:24:51You see, I'm always eager to test my skill against one so aptly trained.
00:24:58I will not shy away from combat, if that is what you want, Your Highness.
00:25:04Mighty men in the need for measuring their little swords.
00:25:06Now, gentlemen, there is a time and a place for such things, but it is not now.
00:25:18Fair enough.
00:25:35I have to admit, he's not as much of an ass as I thought he'd be, but still, I tend
00:25:42to think he'd be barren someday.
00:25:45I'm almost sad His Highness called off our duel.
00:25:49I would have loved to knock that little weasel's teeth.
00:25:52I'm not so sure you would have had the chance, Cedric.
00:25:55They call him the bloody Prince of Prez for a reason, you know.
00:25:59You're not trusting my sword arm.
00:26:00It's not that I think you're poor, Cedric.
00:26:03It's just, from what I hear, that man's never lost a fight.
00:26:07Ever.
00:26:27You're not doing a very good job of concealing, brother.
00:26:30And I suppose I should chain my very eyes, sir?
00:26:33She's not yours to love that way, unless your name happens to be His Royal Highness Decor.
00:26:38You never understand.
00:26:40What's that, understand, Cedric?
00:26:41She's everything, Deacon. I simply cannot just stop loving her.
00:26:46Yes, but you can pack up and leave for eight years.
00:26:51You said we would wait for each other.
00:26:54She did not have that choice, brother.
00:26:57And if you keep this up, neither will you.
00:27:11She did not have that choice.
00:27:41Will there be anything else tonight, Melanie?
00:27:43Thank you, Hene. That will be all.
00:27:45You can have the rest of the night off.
00:27:48A pleasure serving you.
00:27:59A pleasure serving you.
00:28:02A pleasure serving you.
00:28:25Oh, my lord.
00:28:26Danae.
00:28:27Please, I'm so sorry.
00:28:28Forgive me.
00:28:28It's all right.
00:28:29Whatever you're doing outside so late, my lord.
00:28:32It's nothing.
00:28:33I just thought I'd heard something.
00:28:36I'm sure it was just me.
00:28:38I am in a hurry, so if you mind, I think I might just...
00:28:41Wait, there was again.
00:28:43I'm sure it was just the guards doing his rounds.
00:28:45I'm going to go and see.
00:28:46Wait, wait.
00:28:47The Baron has requested that I take you to him immediately.
00:28:51What?
00:28:52It's why I'm in such a hurry to find you.
00:28:54The Baron requested me.
00:28:56Yes.
00:28:56Now, if you would, please, we could just go down to the great hall.
00:29:00Wait, no, not though.
00:29:01What are you?
00:29:22What do you mean?
00:29:25Come on.
00:29:27Come on.
00:29:28Come on.
00:29:52Who's up there?
00:29:57Cedric.
00:29:58What is here?
00:30:00Open this door!
00:30:02What is going on, Alicia?
00:30:25Who was she?
00:30:27Not much to say, my lord.
00:30:29Gallius claims he was a merchant from northern Drin.
00:30:32Came here to sell off his camel.
00:30:34Apart from that, hardly spoke to anyone.
00:30:37One of the Hikari.
00:30:39In my own home.
00:30:41We can't be sure of that just yet, my lord.
00:30:44But it is possible.
00:30:47Perhaps we should move our conversation.
00:30:51To the place with fewer eyes.
00:31:03I only hood now, uncle.
00:31:05I'll take my men.
00:31:06I'll question every soul in the castle.
00:31:08Not so hasty, your highness.
00:31:10If this castle is breeding with traitors, our next move must be one of caution, my lord.
00:31:15My lord, you cannot just sit idly by.
00:31:17You must take action.
00:31:18I must gather my thoughts first, boy.
00:31:21I will not jump rashly into this unknown.
00:31:25I need a moment to think.
00:31:33My lord, if I may ask.
00:31:36Why did you summon me right before the attack?
00:31:39What do you mean?
00:31:42I only woke when I heard my wife's screams in the tower.
00:31:48Who called upon you then?
00:31:50Her majesty's handmaid.
00:31:51She was with me right before the attack.
00:31:53Hene.
00:31:56Where?
00:31:57What was she doing?
00:32:00I don't know.
00:32:01But there was something off about her.
00:32:03She seemed frantic and...
00:32:06Her demeanor had had this hint of foulness that...
00:32:09I'd never experienced from her before.
00:32:12You don't think she had something to do with this?
00:32:14It's worth looking into at least, my lord.
00:32:17Go.
00:32:18Find her and question the girl.
00:32:20With speed, my lord.
00:32:29How does her highness fare?
00:32:33She spent the night in my quarters.
00:32:35She is safe.
00:32:36But somehow I feel her soul has been unable to rest since this incident.
00:32:43She's very strong.
00:32:46A threat like that would paralyze even the bravest men with fear.
00:32:50I tried to talk to her.
00:32:53But I...
00:32:54I can't seem to ease her pain in any way.
00:32:59Perhaps if I might go and speak.
00:33:02As you said, we've been friends since we were children.
00:33:06Maybe my presence, if anything, will help.
00:33:11Go then.
00:33:15Go then.
00:33:19Cedric.
00:33:23There is no price in all the world for what you have done for me this day.
00:33:29My lord.
00:33:54The Baron had his mason's built this monument a few years ago.
00:33:58The people say it reaches up to the sky and casts a spell of protection over the castle.
00:34:03I never knew you to be a person who believed in that sort of thing.
00:34:08I suppose we'll all have to believe in something eventually.
00:34:15How are you feeling?
00:34:22I've known many moments where my life was just a flicker-wave mending.
00:34:32The fear that takes hold.
00:34:38I did not feel fear while it was happening.
00:34:42But once it was over,
00:34:45it's as if I'll never be able to truly rest again.
00:34:50As if his knife is there every time I close my eyes.
00:34:53As if I gute ways.
00:35:20Well?
00:35:22we searched the entire castle grounds there's no sign of her she must have fled sometime in the
00:35:27night but she couldn't have gotten far uncle let me take my riders out we'll find her even if it
00:35:32takes all night i will allow it but so it is now decreed no man or woman of the descent
00:35:40of
00:35:40to read may enter the castle grounds or any border of my kingdom my lord perhaps that's not the best
00:35:47course of action we rely heavily on their trade routes and merchants from drin and so it was a
00:35:52merchant that tried to do away with my wife not all men and women of to read follow the same
00:35:57lord
00:35:57surely you cannot shut off an entire people i cannot even trust my own servants let alone
00:36:03strangers to my home the hakari may still be among your highness i'm not so certain this attack came
00:36:11from the hakari what do you mean i've had dealings with the ring of shadow blades i can't yet place
00:36:19it
00:36:21but this assassin was not one of theirs you're an obvious fool if you think otherwise the hakari
00:36:26threatened her highness and it was the hakari who attempted to slay her what would make you think
00:36:31otherwise cedric i'm not sure he was a spy infiltrating the castle of course he wasn't going
00:36:39to look the parts uncle you cannot let this go unpunished you don't understand you don't barely put
00:36:47sanctions on the borders you muster your men at carry on let me march your army into the heart of
00:36:53salar to make them pay for these offenses against you are you mad to march into the heart of salar
00:36:58with
00:36:58our support from the advocators would be suicide we cannot suspect it now is the time to strike no
00:37:04you must not listen to him no perhaps you should not listen to them my lord think of lady elizia

00:38:44what is that supposed to mean
00:38:47suppose i had rescued you instead of cedric

00:38:53he had just saved my life
00:38:55that didn't stop you from throwing yourself at him
00:38:58you have reigned
00:39:01what demon has taken hold of you then
00:39:03for the spite cannot be coming from my husband
00:39:05i'm sorry

00:39:10oh my god
00:39:21oh my god
00:39:26hi
00:39:37oh my god
00:40:04Little bird, little bird, you've blended deep, haven't you?
00:40:10I carried out what was awesome of me.
00:40:12The only one who failed at their job was thrown from the balcony and dragged bloody across the courtyard.
00:40:18So I've heard.
00:40:19The night is not supposed to be on watch at that hour.
00:40:23There's nothing I could have done.
00:40:25Of course.
00:40:27No.
00:40:28I will never be able to be seen from hands at the side of Salah without someone recognizing me.
00:40:32I deserve the payment to agree with you.
00:40:34Yes, but payment is due to the person who finished the job.
00:40:39I'm quite certain the Baroness is still alive.
00:40:44Wait!
00:40:46Wait!
00:40:48I have something.
00:40:49Information you want to know.
00:40:51Oh?
00:40:57The supposed Knight of Covenant, he and Lady Alicia.
00:41:02They're closer than you think.
00:41:07A scandalous affair.
00:41:09No one else knows.
00:41:11They've been very careful.
00:41:15Intriguing.
00:41:17You know, Hanay.
00:41:19I was planning on killing you when I found you out here in these woods.
00:41:23But this news you have brought me will bring such wonderful things into motion.
00:41:28I'm almost filled with mercy.
00:41:36And you're sure no one else knows.
00:41:39That's a soul.
00:41:41Good.
00:41:43Let's keep it that way.
00:41:45Ah!
00:41:49Ah!
00:41:50Ah!
00:41:50Ah!
00:41:50Ah!
00:41:51Ah!
00:42:02Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
00:42:08I feel my hands are tied, Arathas.
00:42:12Tied as they may be.
00:42:13I cannot imagine you're simply going to let them get away with their crimes.
00:42:17Surely you cannot shut off an entire people.
00:42:19Let me march your army into the heart of Salah to make them pay for these offenses against you.
00:42:23No, you must not listen to him.
00:42:25No, perhaps you should not listen to them.
00:42:26My lord, think of Lady Alicia.
00:42:29You think I'm doing the right thing, Deacon?
00:42:31You must not listen to me, Deacon, and Cedric.
00:42:33But perhaps I am a fool for not seeing what is before me.
00:42:37You must not fail me.
00:42:39I will not.
00:42:41But good men are still men, are they not?
00:42:44How can I know he will not dishonor me?
00:42:48And her.
00:42:53I cannot even trust my own servants, let alone strangers to my home.
00:42:59If this castle is breeding with traitors, our next move must be one of caution, my lord.
00:43:04My lord Baron.
00:43:05What is it?
00:43:07It's Prince Arathas.
00:43:09He's requested to speak with you.
00:43:10Leave me alone, please.
00:43:13He said it's urgent, my lord.
00:43:14He's found the lady's handmaiden.
00:43:27Arathas!
00:43:29Is that...?
00:43:30I told you I'd find her.
00:43:33Get it out of my sight!
00:43:35Get it out of my sight!
00:43:36Get it out of my sight!
00:43:50To Reedy Delric.
00:43:52She was paid off.
00:43:53By the Akari, no doubt.
00:43:56I must speak with Sir Cedric.
00:43:59How does Her Highness fare?
00:44:03We haven't spoken in the last few days, but...
00:44:10She...
00:44:11This time has been hard on her.
00:44:13She fares better with her old friend tonight, though.
00:44:17What do you mean by that?
00:44:19Do you think he would dishonor me?
00:44:22I trust Cedric with my own kingdom!
00:44:25Yes, but...
00:44:25Do you trust your wife?
00:44:29How dare you speak of her that way!
00:44:33Uncle...
00:44:35Perhaps there's something you ought to know.
00:45:02Ro!
00:45:04Get back!
00:45:04What is the meaning of this?!
00:45:10deacon you just couldn't keep to yourself could you deacon guards arrest the knights of covenant

00:46:48i i have loved him
00:46:52i have always loved him and he has always loved me
00:46:59but

00:47:12and every night
00:47:15did i not raise you up
00:47:17from

00:47:23did i not make you a queen
00:47:28is that not love enough
00:47:31it could never be so simple as that
00:47:34and this is how you repay that love
00:47:38by bringing dishonor to my house
00:47:41cedric has not dishonored you nor i
00:47:44you are letting deceit cloud your judgment
00:47:50i will hear no more of this
00:47:55go then

00:48:03i would never strike
00:48:09but i will not hesitate to teach you
00:48:12and all of my subjects
00:48:14the wages of disloyalty
00:48:19do
00:48:27come on
00:48:29you
00:48:30don't
00:48:30you
00:48:31I don't know what to do.
00:49:02You made me do this.
00:49:05You know me.
00:49:07Deacon, I would never dishonor her.
00:49:09Do I?
00:49:11Yes.
00:49:12You know me.
00:49:14I knew my brother eight years ago.
00:49:18I'm not so sure I do now.
00:49:23Prince Arathos found Hene.
00:49:25She was paid off.
00:49:28In Taridi gold.
00:49:31I don't believe it, Deacon.
00:49:34This attack did not come from the Ikari.
00:49:36Someone else is behind this.
00:49:39The castle, these halls, it's not safe here.
00:49:43Elysia is not safe here.
00:49:46You have to warn the Baron to take his loved ones and leave.
00:49:50I doubt that would even be possible, even with an army on our door.
00:49:53Deacon, please.
00:49:55There is much more going on than we can possibly know.
00:50:21Sir Cedric.
00:50:23We are holding Sir Cedric in the dungeons below as requested, my lord.
00:50:26And is our man on his way?
00:50:28I sent for him.
00:50:31Though I strongly advise against it for many reasons.
00:50:33I am sorry, deacon, but my mind is made up.
00:50:39Arathas, beginning this moment, you are now my wife's protector, so long as you lay in my house.
00:50:45Of course.
00:50:48My lord, if I may be so bold as to say it,
00:50:52I think it's best that you and the Baroness departed from the castle.
00:50:56If the Hikari have come once, they will no doubtfully come again.
00:51:00And Sir Cedric believes that...
00:51:01Do not speak to me of Cedric!
00:51:04This is my home, and I will not flee like a sheep from the lion.
00:51:13Double the guard on the castle walls, on our borders, and keep a full-time watch on my wife.
00:51:20She is not to leave this castle, these halls, not even her very room.
00:51:26Without my sin.
00:51:28But your highness, do you not think...
00:51:30Am I not the Baron of this keep?
00:51:33What do you do?
00:51:48Be that right?
00:51:49Be that right.
00:51:50Let him and try.
00:52:01Come on in.
00:52:03Kelly...
00:52:13oh dear knight of covenant look at you now you know you really are more clever than i thought
00:52:23knowing the attack didn't truly come from the akari
00:52:27it was you it was you you've seen them before yes the ring of shadowed blades
00:52:37the pilgrimage to valak slew my master no one truly knows death better
00:52:46of course most men would never dream of death by the akari assassin no it's us
00:52:50higher born they elect to come after
00:52:55you know i once saw one at the word of his master throw himself off the edge of the railing
00:53:03to his
00:53:03own death without a hint of restraint not even a look of remorse for leaping to his end
00:53:16that's when i found out who exactly i was dealing with
00:53:20i've done my marshalling of war for a time cedric but
00:53:27in a life clad and steel plate i felt
00:53:32there i say naked vulnerable
00:53:38so i'm sure your master did as well
00:53:43after that
00:53:45i made it back with the itlocks ambassadors if i could
00:53:49kill the baroness myself and spurn decor into such a rage as to
00:53:53march his army into the heart of salar and
00:53:55i would be eternally spared from a fate ended short by akari steel
00:54:01the ladies we seem dead
00:54:04and eyes in the castle
00:54:06the core of no doubt battalion to a trap
00:54:08yes indeed
00:54:11then when the taridi march in
00:54:13all are slain
00:54:15i get my share of the land
00:54:17and no akari assassin ever raised his shadow blade to me
00:54:22you would sell your own people
00:54:26you'd sell your own flesh and blood
00:54:29such a fierce warrior
00:54:31you've no courage
00:54:33you know loyalty
00:54:34no amount of armor on the battlefield or skill in battle will save me from the poison in my cup
00:54:42with a dagger in my throat while i sleep
00:54:45i've been in the bloodiest of battle cedric but tell me this
00:54:49how could i fight a shadow
00:54:52how could i slay a whisper
00:54:57no dear knight of covenant
00:54:59my loyalty
00:55:01is to my own life
00:55:04well
00:55:05you failed
00:55:06the lady lycia still lives
00:55:09or have you forgotten
00:55:13so naive cedric
00:55:15i have eyes everywhere
00:55:18and gold to spare
00:55:20you see
00:55:20all i need is another willing volunteer
00:55:22in a world of cutthroats
00:55:28it is a shame though
00:55:31she really is quite a beauty
00:55:34perhaps i should take a second to taste some of her fierce loving fire before i kill her
00:55:45you know i'd wanted to pit my own sword against yours but
00:55:50i'll recover
00:55:52pity you won't
00:55:55why are you telling me all this
00:55:57you think i won't speak of your treachery
00:56:00or had you not heard
00:56:02baron's called in the headsman for tomorrow morning and
00:56:04i don't think he'll be here for me

00:57:17Please!
00:57:32Let me out of here!
00:58:00Let me out of here!
00:58:07So close!
00:58:16Captain!
00:58:19Have the market stalls in the courtyard cleared and the block pulled from the stores?
00:58:24It's not enough to imprison him.
00:58:27Now you plan to execute him in some public mockery.
00:58:30I must deal with traitors as such, Captain.
00:58:34Cedric Vale is no common traitor, my lord.
00:58:36Have you forgotten the years of good between you?
00:58:40The reason you called him here?
00:58:41But I was right, was I not?
00:58:43He failed to keep my trust.
00:58:47And I will not stand for disloyalty.
00:58:50He's your friend, my lord.
00:58:51He is not my friend!
00:58:52A true friend would never dishonor his brother.
00:59:08Continue with the preparations, and then return to your duties guarding my wife.
00:59:15Of course I am.
00:59:25Keep watch over the ladies' quarters.
00:59:27No one comes in around.
00:59:50Hello?
00:59:51Refreshments, my lady?
01:00:01Wait, Janice.
01:00:03Can you do something for me?
01:00:05I'm sorry, my lady, but I have orders only.
01:00:07Please, Janice.
01:00:09I need your help.
01:00:13Quit.
01:00:14I need you to go find the captain of the guard, Deacon, and bring him here.
01:00:49Oh, you're the new one, aren't you?
01:00:50Jandice, Captain Deacon.
01:00:54Well, Jandice, word of advice.
01:00:58Leave this godforsaken place while you still can.
01:01:02Captain, the Lady Elysian needs you.
01:01:05I'm sure she does.
01:01:07When we have our orders, don't we?
01:01:17Please.
01:01:18She says if you ever cared for Cedric, you'd follow me to her quarters.
01:01:35Stand aside.
01:01:36I'm sorry, Captain, but no one's allowed in or out.
01:01:41Stand aside.
01:02:01My lady?

01:09:33Knight of Covenant.
01:09:35You really are more capable than I thought.
01:09:38But, however, your demeanor paints you dumber than I think you are.
01:09:43Smart men tend to lower their guard when they know they are beat.
01:09:46You think me beaten, Prince?
01:09:49You think me unable to fight?
01:09:51No, but I don't think you'll risk endangering your friend and your lover.
01:10:05However, we're sure we can come to some sort of agreement.
01:10:07We don't treat with traitors, Prince.
01:10:09We silent peasants, Captain!
01:10:11The noblemen are talking!
01:10:15Oh, my dear Alicia.
01:10:17Everything always ends up coming back to you, doesn't it?
01:10:21You know, before today, I'd never seen my uncle in such a fright.
01:10:26To think that he meant to beg for your forgiveness for that chaos you spurned him into.
01:10:32Even thought to forgive the traitorous knight.
01:10:36But, truly, the power women have over some men will always amaze me.
01:10:41Don't lay a finger on her.
01:10:45I'll deal with you in a moment.
01:10:47First, the men will have their talk.
01:10:51You won't.
01:10:53I want to fight you.
01:10:55Fairly.
01:10:57And on even terms to see which of us is truly the greater warrior.
01:11:01And you.
01:11:03You'll want to protect your mistress.
01:11:05I'm sure we can both get to what we want.
01:11:08We both work together.
01:11:14Of course, I could just have my men slay your friends now, then.
01:11:22Wonderful.
01:11:24Let's get him out of here!
01:11:44You can't fight him, Cedric.
01:11:46She's right, brother.
01:11:47I doubt this fight is hardly fair.
01:11:50Then I shall fight him to the best of my ability to that end.
01:11:53Cedric.
01:11:54You've done enough on my behalf.
01:11:56You've done everything for me.
01:11:58Please, don't do this.
01:12:02And just let them take you.
01:12:06You know I cannot do that.
01:12:10Shh.
01:12:11Shh.
01:12:13Shh.
01:12:32Shh.
