00:08The Starlight Tasting Council tonight bestows the sacred title, Alvin Liadion.
00:20The most radiant one in this entire hall.
00:23Go on, my baker.
00:26The whole world deserves to see how incredible you are.
00:50Those recipes are mine, every single one.
00:53How many nights I stayed up, he did nothing.
00:57He just stood there watching, then took everything I made.
01:02He's a thief, a fraud through and through.
01:07Nolan, what are you talking about?
01:09I spent three months fermenting Starheart in that base.
01:12You're three months?
01:14That was two years of my sleepless nights and burnt fingers.
01:19You did nothing. You just stole.
01:21You're a thief who stood there watching.
01:23The second I finished, you scratched my name out and wrote yours.
01:26How dare you stand here?
01:28We researched those together, but the core fermentation spell is mine.
01:31Nolan, you can't hit that temperature yourself and you know it.
01:35Shut up.
01:39Damon.
01:42Explain what?
01:44Evidence on the wall.
01:46Dated two years before yours.
01:48What story are you going to make up now?
01:50I used to think you were a genius.
01:53Even felt proud of you.
01:55Now it makes me sick.
01:58Six years next to you, and I never saw how filthy you really are.
02:03Alvin, stop fighting it.
02:05Everyone's watching you humiliate yourself.
02:07Can't you feel it?
02:08Be good and step down.
02:11Don't make them drag you off.
02:13Now that would really be ugly.
02:18This brooch was the Ashfield family's promise to you.
02:21Now I take it back in front of everyone.
02:25Engagement's void.
02:26Ashfield's don't keep thieves.
02:28Sacred Baker Candidation revoked.
02:30Morningstar Bakery operating license suspended.
02:33Alvin Lirian effective immediately expelled from the Elvin Baker's Guild.
02:38Lifetime ban from all tasting competitions.
02:40Your hands really are something.
02:41But what's the point of clever hands?
02:43The name's mine, the guild's mine, the sacred title's mine.
02:46Oh, and he's mine too.
02:47Always has been.
02:56Acting for so long is exhausting.
02:59My eyes are swollen from crying.
03:02You owe me tonight.
03:04Whatever you want, it's yours.
03:05Let's go.
03:06Nothing left to see here.
03:11Six years of love was a lie.
03:12Twenty years of dreams shattered.
03:14And from today, no one will ever eat what I make again.
03:20My fingers were one inch from that staff.
03:23One inch.
03:33They say these hands stole someone else's work.
03:37Fine.
03:39I'll use these hands to grow it all back.
03:42From a single seed.
03:53Day one of the new life.
03:55You got this, Alvin.
04:01Well, go ahead.
04:03Ladder's been rotten three years.
04:05Nobody tell you?
04:07Put me down.
04:17Dirty.
04:25From the capital?
04:27Yeah.
04:28Here to open a bakery.
04:30You?
04:31The miller?
04:33Yeah.
04:37Depon, you were there.
04:40Don't look much like a miller.
04:45You don't look much like a baker, either.
04:47Hold the hammer like it's a pen.
04:56What's the fix in the roof?
04:58Don't want money.
04:59You owe me a batch of bread.
05:02It'll be the best bread you've ever had.
05:03I promise.
05:09Alvin Larian?
05:10Lord Damon's orders.
05:11Sign this confession.
05:12Acknowledge all recipes belong to Nolan Selvin.
05:15Then report back to the capital in three days.
05:16Don't sign.
05:18This shack gets sealed tomorrow.
05:21Not going back.
05:23Bring him a message for me.
05:25I'm starting over right here.
05:27Don't need his permission.
05:29He said no.
05:31Hard of hearing?
05:32This ain't your business.
05:35Ashford Guild.
05:36Ashford's got no reach in Mist Hollow.
05:38Run along.
05:39You're just a miller.
05:41Block us once won't work twice.
05:43That baker's a dead man walking.
05:45You can rot in this dump with him.
05:47Have your master come say that to my face.
05:49I'll be waiting to see if he's got the guts.
05:53It's fine.
05:54This is nothing.
05:55I've survived worse.
05:56I'll be waiting to see if he's got the guts.
05:57Yeah, I know.
05:59Bread, you still owe me.
06:02Tomorrow.
06:04Tomorrow for sure.
06:12Burn this field.
06:14That baker's got no ingredients tomorrow.
06:18Lord Ashford says,
06:20make sure he can't survive here.
06:24Who the hell let go?
06:26You dare touch Aspen Kings?
06:29You're burning my wheat.
06:35He's insane!
06:41I surrender!
06:43I surrender!
06:44Please!
06:45Please!
07:12Stop!
07:14Stop it!
07:22Simus!
07:23You're still up?
07:24Perfect.
07:25I need a hand.
07:28The hell are you doing out here in the middle of the night?
07:31Moonlight spirit wheat.
07:32Grandma's recipe notes mentioned it.
07:34Only gives off fragrance at midnight.
07:36Yeast from it glows silver.
07:37I find it!
07:39I can make bread nobody's ever tasted!
07:43You know what's out in this field at midnight.
07:46Wheat.
07:46And you.
07:50Head east.
07:51Grows easier near water.
08:05Not this one.
08:06Moonlight wheat should smell like...
08:08Fresh sheets dried in the sun.
08:10Warm.
08:11Clean kind.
08:13There's another patch ahead.
08:14Move.
08:16Fix your collar.
08:17Cold out.
08:18Whoa!
08:35Sorry.
08:37Fell again.
08:38How many times are you going to fall in one day?
08:45Walk.
08:47Don't stop.
08:51I...
08:51I can walk on my own!
08:58Your arm's bleeding.
09:00Skin deep.
09:03You always say that.
09:14Got cut.
09:24What...
09:25What are you...
09:26Stopping the bleeding.
09:27Don't touch anything with thorns.
09:30Something happens, call me.
09:32Call me.
09:38This one.
09:43That's it.
09:44That's the smell.
09:45Simus!
09:46Found it!
09:46I knew we'd find it!
09:48Thank you!
09:56First, creek soil is the base.
09:58Then temperature-controlled ferment for three days.
10:00Day four, I introduce it to fresh flour.
10:02Oh, right.
10:03Gotta try mixing it, W.
10:05Aren't you cold?
10:06Walk faster.
10:09Once I grow these out,
10:10first batch is yours.
10:15Deal.
10:18Night, Silas.
10:37Good morning.
10:39Some spirit flour and yeast culture, please.
10:43Alvin, flour's sold out.
10:45Those three bags on the shelf back there...
10:47Sold out.
10:47Please go.
10:50Don't make this hard for me.
10:58Fraud.
10:59Mist Hollow doesn't want your kind.
11:01Get lost.
11:03I didn't steal anything.
11:05Black and white in the papers.
11:07Capital's got a warrant posted right here in our town.
11:10You didn't steal.
11:11Who'd believe that?
11:40How long have you been here?
11:47The whole town
11:49saw it.
11:50They say I'm a fraud.
11:54Papers can't be trusted.
11:57Only good for starting fires.
12:00Then what do you believe?
12:03I only trust one thing.
12:05My tongue.
12:06Your bread goes in my mouth.
12:07Real or fake,
12:08I can taste the difference.
12:12Then you wait.
12:14I'll make you taste the best thing in the whole damn world.
12:22Go back.
12:23Don't freeze out here.
12:37Fine.
12:38You lock my door,
12:39then I'll find another damn door.
12:41It's okay.
12:42We'll just grow somewhere else.
12:45Right?
12:53Let's go.
12:54Where?
12:56My place.
12:57Got an oven,
12:58flour,
12:59spare room.
12:59I can pay rent.
13:00You still owe me that bread.
13:02Pay your debt first.
13:06Left one.
13:08Door locks.
13:15Way better than my place.
13:17I'll bake you something tonight.
13:35Oh, water.
13:41Thanks.
13:48Silas,
13:49you okay?
13:51Fine.
13:52Go to bed.
14:01Those scars,
14:02how many are there?
14:05Who did that to him?
14:32Bread.
14:32Try it.
14:33The moonlight tea's worked.
14:36Dirty again.
14:37Gonna water the seedlings!
14:38Take your time eating!
14:50If I mix moonlight yeast with wild honey,
14:55ferment I might cut in half.
15:00What's wrong?
15:02Nothing.
15:02Go to bed.
15:03It's late.
15:04Night, Silas.
15:06New recipe for you tomorrow morning.
15:29It's not your business, Miller!
15:31We're here for the bankrupt status!
15:35It's not your business, Miller!
15:46Oh, come on!
15:48Oh, come on!
15:50Oh, come on!
16:04New recipe today, Honey Moonlight Bread. Just wait, gonna be even better than yesterday's.
16:08Yeah, waiting.
16:11Cut this for me, my hands are covered in flour. Eight slices, not too thick.
16:38Those scars, all from blades. That's why he's scared of knives.
16:45Forget it, tastes better torn by by hand anyway.
16:49Come help me knead, not strong enough, my arms were sore all yesterday.
16:59Stand behind me, your arms are long enough to reach over.
17:04Feel that, it's alive. The yeast is breathing in there.
17:11Every push you give, it grows a little.
17:16It's not shaking anymore.
17:23See, these hands can breathe things to life too. Not just the other stuff.
17:33You shouldn't be this good to me.
17:36Then what do you want?
17:40Bread needs to go in the oven.
17:53Dough needs three hours to rise.
17:55I'm heading out back, flower fields need watering.
18:04Grow a little more, that's it. Good girl.
18:12Sweet enough, good for the dough.
18:27Silas, wanna try it?
18:38It's pretty sweet though.
18:40It's pretty sweet though.
18:51Those scars, this sword. Who the hell is he?
19:15Target's confirmed. Two of them. One Baker, one unclear. Awaiting orders.
19:20Don't spook them. Surveillance only. I wanna know exactly who that Miller is.
19:37Move! Come on, move!
19:41Move! Come on, move!
20:03Let me teach you how to push.
20:19Let me teach you how to push.
20:22On you. The smell of wheat.
20:26On you. The smell of wheat.
20:50I wanna keep my eyes.
20:54Yes.
21:08Harvest festival. Is that the harvest festival?
21:11Yes. Once a year.
21:14I want to go!
21:16Silas, are we going?
21:19Let's go.
21:52Come.
21:56You can dance.
21:58Coming or not.
22:21The baker and the miller.
22:24Isn't he the fraud?
22:26Kreven is actually...
22:33No one thing.
22:38Did we miss on purpose?
22:41Yeah.
23:02Now they know.
23:04No.
23:05What?
23:07You're mine.
23:08If anyone touches you, they deal with me.
23:13Miller, two weeks of digging and nothing.
23:15No records, no files, no past.
23:18A man with no trace.
23:20More dangerous than one with a record.
23:22Use the dark channels.
23:24Spare no expense.
23:25I want to know exactly what this man is.
23:27Can't find out, then just get rid of him.
23:29What I threw away stays thrown away.
23:32It's not for someone else to pick up.
23:33You can rot in the dirt, Alvin.
23:35But you don't get to let another man touch you.
23:44Do you smell that?
23:46Something so warm.
23:49It makes me want to cry.
23:52Did you try it?
23:53Did you try it?
23:54What is this?
23:54I've never tasted anything like-
23:56Like being held.
23:57Like childhood.
23:59Like coming home.
24:08This temperature.
24:09These layers of fermentation.
24:12The thing I tried a hundred times and couldn't pull off.
24:14He's supposed to be done.
24:15He got blacklisted.
24:16He's got nothing left.
24:17How can he still if he comes back?
24:19If everyone finds out I can't make this.
24:21Damon, connect now!
24:27Final version.
24:29Tweak the honey ratio three times.
24:31This one's perfect.
24:33Try it.
24:36Feed me.
24:41Hands are dirty.
24:42You feed me.
24:53Open up.
25:01Sweet.
25:01Bread's not bad either.
25:27The world tree grand feast.
25:30Once every five hundred years.
25:32No more than ten bakers ever get invited.
25:36They don't know it's me.
25:37They will once you show up.
25:43Once they know it's me.
25:45It means facing those people again.
25:49The ones who called me a fraud.
25:53What if they don't believe me?
25:55What if it happens again?
25:59Lord!
26:00Wait!
26:01What are you-
26:06Simon!
26:11What are you scared of?
26:14Those people?
26:15Their mouths?
26:19Once their tongues taste what you've made.
26:22Their mouths will only say one word.
26:24What word?
26:26Good.
26:33You're a born king.
26:34Don't make me look down on you.
26:46Fine.
26:47I'll go.
26:51Just now.
26:52Were you about to kiss me?
26:56Silas.
26:56Go pack your things.
27:00I don't know what you're scared of, but you don't have to be scared of me.
27:13I'm scared I'll hurt you, the way I hurt him.
27:49I can't sleep either.
27:57Scylla.
28:16Go get what's yours.
28:20Then get your ass back to me.
28:26Wait for me.
28:36I can't sleep.
28:53I don't know.
29:05You bit way too hard. What am I supposed to wear to cover these tomorrow?
29:11Don't cover them.
29:24They're here.
29:46For the road. Don't go hungry.
29:48My bread's a hundred times better than yours.
29:50Yeah. So go fast, come back fast.
29:55Wait for me! I'll make you the best bread in the whole world!
30:07The Tyrant. It really is you.
30:11That idiot Ashford actually delivered you right into my hands.
30:15Time to settle our old score.
30:24See? These hands can bring things to life too.
30:30He's in the open. No cover.
30:37I swore. Never wear this again. Never be that monster again.
30:44No cover!
30:51But now I got someone to protect.
30:55Fuck.
31:09I'm gonna leave.
31:12I'll leave.
31:12No cover.
31:22Oh, my God.
31:25Exactly like the one in the books
31:27The 7th dynasty
31:28The 7th elf king
31:29The tyrant who vanished 5 years ago
31:32It's him
31:33It's always been him
31:37There's someone else's things here
31:41He had
31:41Someone important before
31:43He doesn't not want to touch me
31:45He's scared that touching me will hurt me
31:47The way he hurt that person
31:49For 5 years
31:50He locked himself in here
31:52Carrying all of this alone
31:54I won't let you be alone anymore
31:55Once I get my name back
31:57I'll come home
31:58And I'm not going anywhere
32:01Once I win
32:02First thing I do back home
32:03Show him this
32:05He'll just go quiet again
32:06Staring at me like that
32:07Then I'll tell him
32:08I'm not going anywhere
32:10Staying at the mill
32:11Baking for him everyday
32:13Growing wheat
32:13For good
32:25Alvin Lyon
32:26You're no longer useful
32:28Lord Ashford says
32:30Just clear your spot
32:34Silas
32:35I'm sorry

42:52You cut down half my clan with that sword.
42:54Three thousand people didn't shed a single tear.
42:57But what broke you in the end wasn't our blood.
43:00It was the blood of the one lying next to you.
43:03Heard you woke from a nightmare, hands around his throat three seconds.
43:06He was calling your name and you didn't hear it.
43:09By the time you snapped out of it, already cold under your hands.
43:12And now you've found a new one.
43:14A baker.
43:18Think it'll be different this time?
43:23Some night when it hits again.
43:25When he calls your name, will you hear it?
43:27This sword...
43:30Used to only take lives.
43:33Now I draw it.
43:35To protect the only salvation in my dried up life!
43:40Then we die together!
43:49You won...
43:52But you too...
43:55Brad...
43:56Still own me.
44:04Open!
44:05Open up!
44:21No!
44:22No!
44:23No, no, no!
44:23Silence!
44:28Not enough.
44:32What passes through...
44:33Through my palms isn't enough.
44:36That thing's too strong.
44:41Grandma said...
44:42My blood can bring dead yeast back to life.
44:46So you too...
44:50You can come back too.
45:00You...
45:06You said...
45:07Wait for you to come back.
45:09You said...
45:13Liar.
45:31You're crying.
45:41I'm back.
45:46Damon Ashfield.
45:48Colluding with dark elf traitors.
45:51Forging capital decretes.
45:53Conspiracy against the crown.
45:54Treason.
45:55Escorted to the capital for trial effective immediately.
45:59I didn't know he was the elf king!
46:01I didn't know!
46:03Let go of me!
46:04I'm an Ashford!
46:05Drag him out.
46:27You're awake.
46:29Your heart...
46:30Does it still hurt?
46:31Breathing.
46:35You look worse than me.
46:42I'm here.
46:43Not dead.
46:44If you ever dare go die alone again...
46:47I'll never make you bread again.
46:49Then I won't dare.
46:50Made it while you were out.
46:52The finale piece.
46:53Last one I'm bringing to the capital.
46:56What is this?
46:57It's...
46:58You.
46:59The way I see you.
47:00Not just sword and blood.
47:02Also wheat.
47:03Also flour.
47:06Also...
47:06Me.
47:07Me.
47:13When do you leave?
47:15Today.
47:16Afternoon airship.
47:17Go get your name back.
47:19Then come home.
47:20Wait for me.
47:24What?
47:24He's here?
47:25Alvin's here?
47:26Where's Damon?
47:27He hasn't responded in two weeks.
47:28He promised me!
47:29Said he...
47:29Mr. Nolan.
47:30Word outside is...
47:31Lord Ashford's been arrested.
47:33Treason.
47:36Did you hear?
47:37The elf king slaughtered an entire dark elf squad to protect that baker?
47:41The one accused of plagiarism?
47:42How'd he get the elf king wrapped around his hand?
47:43Who knows?
47:44Someone like the elf king.
47:45Falling for a baker.
47:46Mr. Nolan.
47:47Lord Damon's been arrested.
47:49Maybe tonight's entry.
47:51We should withdraw.
47:52Withdraw?
47:53Why?
47:54Demon's done.
47:55But I'm not.
47:57As long as my work's still on that table.
47:58As long as nobody proves I can't make those things.
48:01I'm still the sacred baker candidate.
48:03He was already shunned by the whole capital.
48:05How does he still have someone protecting him?
48:07Why?
48:07Why would the elf king choose him?
48:09Here he comes.
48:10The elf king's man.
48:12Wonder what tricks he used.
48:13This purity of life magic.
48:15Three hundred years in the field and I've never tasted anything like this.
48:21It's like someone holding you.
48:23I'm reminded of my mother.
48:25This is real.
48:27No amount of connections can make something like this.
48:30This one, compared to that one over there, it's dead.
48:32No soul.
48:34Hold on.
48:35Didn't Nolan claim all those recipes were his originals?
48:38If he's really the creator, how come he can't reach even half of Alvin's level?
48:41You think?
48:42That playerism case from back then?
48:45Who actually stole from who?
48:47This level?
48:48And he's a sacred baker candidate?
48:50My house cook does better than this.
48:56Fake!
48:56It's all fake!
48:57Those recipes are mine!
48:59He stole from me and came back to fool everyone!
49:02The World Tree Feet tasting zone has the highest egreged protective ward.
49:07Any offensive magic gets bounced back.
49:10You didn't know?
49:11I swapped the manuscripts.
49:12I swapped them.
49:14Damon told me to.
49:15He said just backdate them two years.
49:18The recipes are Alvin's.
49:19Always been Alvin's.
49:21I can't make tea.
49:22A year ago, I voted to revoke his title.
49:25Turns out from the very beginning, we wronged him.
49:28We were fooled for a whole year!
49:30A whole damn year!
49:32Alvin Lian, at today's World Tree Grand Feast, your work's unanimous approval.
49:37The sacred title is rightfully yours!
49:40Mr. Alvin Lian, by supreme declare of His Majesty the current Elf King,
49:44you are invited to assume the position of Royal Chief Baker.
50:00Thank His Majesty for me, but I'm not staying in the capital.
50:04He refused? Royal Chief?
50:07Mr. Larian, this is the highest honor. Are you certain?
50:16I came here for one thing only, to let everyone taste for themselves whose recipes these are.
50:22Now you've tasted them. That's enough.
50:32I'll take the sacred title. The Chief Seat. Leave it for someone who needs it.
50:38I've got something more important to do.
50:48Alvin! Alvin Lian! Look at me! Look at me! I made you! You're nothing without me!
51:00Alvin! Alvin! You owe me!
51:11I got my name back. Now, time to go home.
51:20Silas!
51:39I knew it. Of course he wouldn't come back.
51:44It's fine. I still have the oven. The wheat. The yeast. I can do this on my own.
52:05You scared me to death. I thought you left. You weren't at the mill.
52:12Fixing the fence. Nothing else to do when you're not here.
52:22What I owed you. The best bread in the world. I did it.
52:35You're back.
52:36I'm back.
