00:00:04As my husband, I've lost count of how many times Sasi has paraded his ally right in front of me.
00:00:11Of course, tonight is an exception.
00:00:14He thinks I'm visiting relatives in the country.
00:00:17He hasn't the faintest idea.
00:00:20Little does he know, this is where my revenge begins.
00:00:26Parasites.
00:00:30Since everyone's wearing a mask, no one knows who's who.
00:00:41So if you can mess about right in front of me,
00:00:48why shouldn't I do the same?
00:00:57That woman's back. Looks awfully familiar.
00:01:04Stay the night with me.
00:01:06What do you say?
00:01:07I'm just an ally, my lady.
00:01:09We're all.
00:01:11Why let rank spoil the fun?
00:01:15A noblewoman luring to be with these kind of trash.
00:01:19Are you quite sure you can handle the consequences?
00:01:21Some consequences.
00:01:29Oh
00:01:52I'm actually pregnant
00:01:56That man certainly knew how to put on a show
00:01:59As long as Scar believes this child is his everything my grandfather left me will eventually be mine again
00:02:06My lady, I've come to change your bedding and your rag
00:02:10Why now of all times
00:02:12Just a moment
00:02:15Scars hasn't touched me in six months before I announce the pregnancy. I need him to sleep with me one
00:02:19more time
00:02:21Melris
00:02:21The carriage is waiting
00:02:23If we're late for the victory banquet
00:02:26The blame falls on you
00:02:30You're getting completely out of hand
00:02:32What the devil are you doing in here
00:02:37Sneaking around
00:02:38What are you up to?
00:02:41Nothing
00:02:41Why are your hands behind your back?
00:02:44You're standing on it
00:02:47Throwing your filthy rags on the floor like this?
00:02:50Disgusting
00:02:53Forgive me my lord
00:02:54I was just about to tidy the room and change her ladyship's rags
00:02:57Wait outside
00:02:58I'll get dressed and be right out
00:03:00Hurry it up
00:03:12Feed me another one
00:03:13Feed me another one
00:03:18My lord
00:03:20I prefer the curtains drawn
00:03:23If you cared so much about appearances
00:03:24You shouldn't have brought her into the carriage
00:03:27Tonight is a banquet hosted by his majesty himself for my cousin Eric
00:03:31If you hadn't married me
00:03:33A merchant's daughter like you
00:03:35Would never set foot in the royal palace your entire life
00:03:38Exactly
00:03:39I'd defeat for a chance to go inside
00:03:42You've no right to complain
00:03:43If it weren't for my merchant fortune
00:03:45You wouldn't even be able to afford this carriage
00:03:47You'd have to go roll around in the dirt
00:03:51I never want to hear you say that again
00:03:52Don't forget
00:03:54The deeds and shops your grandfather left behind all belong to me now
00:04:01Let me help you cool off my lord
00:04:04Grandfather must have been blind to leave everything in his hands
00:04:07Don't give me that look
00:04:09As long as we play the happy couple
00:04:11My cousin will think I'm a respectable man
00:04:15And the northern ration contracts will stay in my hands
00:04:33General
00:04:34General
00:04:34His majesty has sent word
00:04:36The banquet is about to begin
00:04:38The time of controlling the illusions is getting shorter
00:04:41Still not found that woman?
00:04:43There were too many people that night
00:04:44We're still screening them
00:04:45After that night the hallucinations stopped for two whole days
00:04:52And it was only with her
00:04:53Keep digging
00:04:59Be a good girl and wait in the carriage
00:05:01I'll be back right after the banquet
00:05:05My lady
00:05:06After you
00:05:11Is that Vatret Skur's wife?
00:05:13I heard she's a merchant's daughter
00:05:15No wonder she lacks class
00:05:18Look at you
00:05:19Go and beg Lilith to swap dresses with you
00:05:22Stop embarrassing me here
00:05:27Count Horne
00:05:27Count Horne!
00:05:28It's been too long
00:05:30Looking as dashering as ever I see
00:05:38I'd rather be thrown out than beg her for anything
00:05:43My apologies my lady
00:05:45But we cannot allow you inside dressed like that
00:05:47I know
00:05:48That's why I need to borrow your sword for a moment
00:05:50Please don't make a scene here ma'am
00:05:53I... I just...
00:05:56Use mine
00:06:05It's the man from the masquerade
00:06:08General sir!
00:06:09The general?
00:06:11Soska's cousin is him?
00:06:13If you keep my lady you'll be late for the banquet
00:06:17Thank you general
00:06:25Actually looks better than before
00:06:29You flatter me general
00:06:30Just a quick fix
00:06:31I'll see you inside
00:06:41That woman...
00:06:42Why does she feel so familiar?
00:06:45That woman...
00:07:02Erik Hohenheim
00:07:03The Empire will forever remember your triumphs in the North
00:07:08My life for the Empire
00:07:09He looks as though he's in pain
00:07:13Rumour has it he defeat people just for fun since he's been back
00:07:18You always take matters into your own hands
00:07:20Stay away from me whilst I make my rounds tonight
00:07:22I don't want people thinking I married a tailor's daughter
00:07:28Perhaps he's not what the rumours say
00:07:32A toast to you general
00:07:37It's getting worse
00:07:40No...
00:07:41I need to find Edward
00:07:42See if they've brought any spare prisoners
00:07:46Cousin!
00:07:47The party's just starting
00:07:49What's the rush?
00:07:51What is it?
00:07:52Oh nothing much
00:07:53Just notice the requisition orders for the border rations have paused lately
00:07:57The North is secure sure
00:07:58But our garrisons out there eat through supplies fast
00:08:00We can't let the transport stop
00:08:02Save the front line some coin
00:08:04I've been keeping prices rock bottom for years
00:08:06I hardly make a dime
00:08:11So...
00:08:12Regarding the...
00:08:15Ration contract
00:08:18Shut up!
00:08:20Cousin?
00:08:22Rations were always tight whilst I was on the front
00:08:24We only secured the area a month ago
00:08:26Yet when I dressed as an ally
00:08:28And slipped into your estate
00:08:29Your little masquerade was quite the lavish affair
00:08:32General!
00:08:33I believe you are mistaken
00:08:37The heavy snows blocked the northern passes
00:08:40Many merchant guilds refused to go near the border even if it meant taking a loss
00:08:44Scar hosted that ball simply to placify the gang leaders
00:08:47Yes!
00:08:48Yes!
00:08:49Exactly!
00:08:49All for the Empire!
00:08:51You're defending him
00:08:53Just stating the facts
00:08:55And what are you to him?
00:08:57His wife
00:08:58So was the lady of the house present
00:09:01At the masquerade that night
00:09:08You misunderstand me general
00:09:09I'm merely speaking up for my husband
00:09:12As for the masquerade I wasn't there
00:09:13I was visiting my aunt in the country
00:09:14So you're not worried about your husband fooling around behind your back?
00:09:19You cut off his contracts and publicly challenge him over a single party
00:09:23Are you going to interrogate our marriage now too?
00:09:34Forgive my introsion
00:09:37General!
00:09:39I want a new logistics plan on my desk in two days
00:09:42If it's the same garbage as before
00:09:45Then you're done with the northern contracts
00:09:47Forever
00:09:48Yes, yes of course
00:09:49I'll redraw everything
00:10:00A stroke of luck actually
00:10:02There's no way Scar can come up with a new plan
00:10:04If I use this to make him sleep with me again
00:10:07Then you can stay
00:10:08Loud and clear
00:10:14Good thing you had one on standby
00:10:21General please let me go
00:10:23I'm just a foot soldier
00:10:25I was following orders
00:10:27My girl is waiting for me back home
00:10:30Please no, please
00:10:34Crimson Raven
00:10:39General
00:10:41Why haven't you found the woman from the masquerade yet?
00:10:45Do we even have prisoners left to kill?
00:10:48He's been looking for me since that night
00:10:51Quite sure you can handle the consequences
00:10:56Who's there?
00:11:06Crimson Raven
00:11:06Why haven't you found her yet?
00:11:08Are you quite sure you can handle the consequences?
00:11:13What the hell is wrong with you?
00:11:19Cold blooded monster
00:11:20He actually thinks of some hero of the empire
00:11:22Don't be angry my lord
00:11:24I have some wine
00:11:27I'm a cold blooded monster
00:11:30And I'm carrying this child
00:11:31If he finds out I only used him for his food
00:11:33He'll carry me to pieces
00:11:35No, the planning and hope can start
00:11:44Women who come to my door usually fall into one of two categories
00:11:47Those who want to get pregnant with someone else's child
00:11:50And those who want to get rid of their own
00:11:52Which one are you?
00:11:54The latter
00:11:58I'm out of a few herbs
00:11:59I need to go fetch them
00:12:09There's a gentleman in the back room who claims he's being haunted by the dead
00:12:13If you hear him ring the bell, do me a favour and toss some of this incense into the burner
00:12:16for him
00:12:23Let go!
00:12:26What are you doing?!
00:12:29What is Scar's wife doing in a place like this?
00:12:37With someone else's child and those who want to get rid of their own
00:12:43Surely the general doesn't think I'm the latter
00:12:46I hear you and Scar have only been married for three months
00:12:48In such a rush to have a baby
00:12:51You're awfully invested in other people's private matters, general
00:12:55Get out!
00:12:59I caused the burn
00:13:01The least I can do is treat it
00:13:02Not necessary, leave the medicine, I'll do it myself
00:13:04You can't exactly reach your own back
00:13:14What a perfect body
00:13:16Do you usually tend to your own mark, general?
00:13:19Yes, I don't like people touching my body
00:13:22Apologies, this might sting a bit, general
00:13:25All done!
00:13:26Hold on
00:13:27Have you seen it before?
00:13:30Never
00:13:31Is that so?
00:13:32I think it would suit you perfectly
00:13:36General, please mind your boundaries
00:13:39Her scent exactly the same
00:13:41What?
00:13:43What?
00:13:48Changed your mind?
00:13:49If the man inside asked what I was doing here, tell him the exact opposite
00:13:56He has the earring
00:13:57If you find out the secret, I'll never be able to explain myself
00:14:01I need to end this, fast
00:14:06How is there so much of this?!
00:14:11Caravans, tariffs, where's housing
00:14:14That Lunar Talk wants me to reorganize everything in two days
00:14:16Does he think I'm the Chancellor of the Exement?
00:14:19Don't be so grumpy, my lord
00:14:21Besides, selling off a few properties will keep us comfortable for a long time
00:14:25What do you know?!
00:14:27I refuse to end up like my father
00:14:29Eating through his fortune till nothing was left but the title of a broke nobleman
00:14:40But I suppose you have a point
00:14:42What's the harm in selling one or two?
00:14:48Gently
00:14:50I can't keep the baby
00:14:52I can't keep it
00:14:56Did you hear?
00:14:57The ally is starting to sell off the family estates
00:15:00But those belong to her ladyship's grandfather
00:15:04Where did you hear that?!
00:15:06My lady
00:15:07What is going on?!
00:15:08The ally said that the northern contracts are likely gone
00:15:12So he's selling off assets early to cover our expenses
00:15:16Ska?!
00:15:23Ska, we need to talk
00:15:29Ever heard of knocking?
00:15:32Don't stop!
00:15:33You picked a bad time
00:15:36If you still want the northern contracts, tell her to get out
00:15:40You have a logistics plan?
00:15:42I said, tell her to get out
00:15:47Ska?
00:15:51Get out
00:15:53Hm
00:15:53Hm
00:15:53Why bother kicking me out?
00:15:55We're both women
00:15:55I can tell you've no interest in intense confrontation me for him
00:15:59Not necessarily
00:16:03Spill it
00:16:04What's your play?
00:16:07I already have a solution for the northern supply routes
00:16:10Tomorrow I'll go with you to see Eric
00:16:13You seem... different today
00:16:16You were just too focused on my grandfather's money to notice
00:16:18Save it
00:16:19If you fix this logistics mess, I might actually treat you a bit better
00:16:22On the condition that you stopped selling off the grandfather's estate
00:16:27Deal
00:16:31But wait!
00:16:32What is it?
00:16:34You're more beautiful
00:16:36Intoxicating
00:16:37More?
00:16:38But let me tell you
00:16:39My name is Ska
00:16:40Ska
00:16:41Ska Elfrancis
00:16:43That was close
00:16:51Wait...
00:16:51Is that her ladyship?
00:16:53Breath?
00:16:54Are you crazy?
00:16:55How dare you fantasize about her ladyship?
00:16:58Ska...
00:16:59Gently
00:16:59No, I've been telling you that's her voice
00:17:02Wait, wait
00:17:03I think I heard it too
00:17:04Wait!
00:17:09Don't do that
00:17:10Did you hear?
00:17:11Her ladyship actually consummated the marriage with the ally
00:17:14I thought he never touched her
00:17:16It's true
00:17:20Doesn't she find him repulsive?
00:17:23Finally over
00:17:26If he tries to sell my inheritance once, he'll do it again
00:17:29How much worse can things possibly get?
00:17:32I'm risking it!
00:17:34It's not as if I have any other way out
00:17:44You don't want to make a fool of yourself in front of your cousin, do you?
00:17:52That was rape!
00:17:54Rape? Aren't we husband and wife?
00:17:56Are you going to tell the whole world that I raped you, Lord Banknet?
00:17:59A merchant's daughter
00:18:00Shameless as expected
00:18:02Your grandfather's entail is clear
00:18:03Only your legitimate child can inherit the valentine shops, lands and granaries
00:18:08But I'm telling you right now, you won't get a second chance like that
00:18:11What, once wasn't enough?
00:18:13Do you really have that little faith in your own... stamina?
00:18:16You bitch!
00:18:17Don't celebrate just yet, Mellis
00:18:18Once you secure those northern contracts for me, you'll be completely useless
00:18:22I'll make you wish you were dead
00:18:28Two days
00:18:30Interesting, seems you haven't been slacking after all
00:18:34Of course
00:18:36How could I neglect a direct order from the general?
00:18:38I poured my energy, sweat and tears into this...
00:18:41But why does it say to bypass Ashport?
00:18:46Well, because... because that port is narrow
00:18:49Right? The roads are terrible
00:18:51I hear it's the largest port in the entire empire
00:18:54Did you not know that?
00:18:55Because Ashport has been cracking down on salt smuggling recently
00:18:58The caravans are critical military ranchers for the north
00:19:00If they go through Ashport and get detained on suspicion of smuggling
00:19:02The delays would starve the northern garrisons within three weeks
00:19:05That's why we must reroute through the eastern waterways
00:19:08Although it adds four days to the journey
00:19:10But at least it's secure
00:19:19Fascinating
00:19:20It seems you aren't the real businessmen in the Alfonson family, Scott
00:19:23No, that's not true!
00:19:24A lot of the other routes were my idea!
00:19:27I hate being lied to
00:19:29Next time it'll be your throat on the end of this blade
00:19:32Close one
00:19:33Looks like he still hasn't recognized me
00:19:35The northern contracts are yours, fine
00:19:38But she has to be involved
00:19:40But cousin!
00:19:41Get out
00:19:44Lady Mellis
00:19:46I didn't say you could leave
00:20:04Melis Valentine
00:20:05Melis Valentine
00:20:06Your grandfather built a fine business
00:20:08But a merchant's a merchant
00:20:10The Alfonson family's fallen shore
00:20:12But they still have a title
00:20:14You married him?
00:20:15Give and take
00:20:18Must be humiliating though
00:20:25If you're trying to stir trouble between us, I'll leave
00:20:29The North is secured, but the Empire is still surrounded
00:20:32I need talent
00:20:33Join my staff
00:20:35Good pay, and I'll help you take back everything Scust's soul
00:20:39Something's off
00:20:40You flatter me, General
00:20:41But I'm just a woman
00:20:42Why go through all this trouble for me?
00:20:45Because the perfume you wear
00:20:49Smells just like someone
00:20:52Someone I can't forget
00:20:54My perfume costs three silver coins
00:20:56Half the girls in the city wear it
00:20:59I enjoy a good play in my spare time
00:21:00Been working on one lately
00:21:01A husband steals his wife's inheritance
00:21:03Flaunts his affair
00:21:05So the wife, to masquerade
00:21:06Takes a stranger to bed
00:21:08Right under his nose
00:21:09What do you think, my lady?
00:21:10Better than what's on at the theater?
00:21:11You've missed your calling, General
00:21:13Should've been a playwright
00:21:14Put them on, then I'll know
00:21:17General, please
00:21:18I just want to be sure
00:21:23Is this your war room or a torture chamber?
00:21:28Both
00:21:28Let go!
00:21:30Have you lost your mind?
00:21:33This madman
00:21:35He can't find out
00:21:39Watch out!
00:21:43The great general
00:21:44Assaulting his cousin's wife
00:21:45And his own whole empire
00:21:46Would be ashamed
00:21:47Find someone else for your staff, General
00:21:57My lady, the Allies celebrating the Northern Deal
00:22:00He's taken Lady Lilith to the hunting lodge
00:22:02And chose not to wait for you
00:22:07Fine
00:22:08Earring's gone, scar's gone
00:22:10At least tonight I get some peace
00:22:14General!
00:22:16Are you alright?
00:22:17What happened here?
00:22:22Did you check her aunt's place?
00:22:24Find out if she was really there that night?
00:22:30It's a long way
00:22:31My man won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest
00:22:37Dammit!
00:22:40General!
00:22:41Where are you going?
00:22:43To see her
00:22:44Now!
00:22:48W!
00:22:49The Valentine crest!
00:23:02Awake?
00:23:03Good!
00:23:04I don't like them cold
00:23:09Here you go
00:23:11Get off!
00:23:14You bitch!
00:23:16This guy said you were a handful
00:23:17He was right
00:23:18I like that
00:23:23Help!
00:23:25Help!
00:23:30Keep yelling, sweethearts
00:23:32There's no one here
00:23:34Just you and me
00:23:46A real lady
00:23:47Worth every penny
00:23:50Come here
00:23:52Why?
00:23:54How did it come to this?
00:23:57I just wanted back what was mine
00:24:04You dare
00:24:13Where the hell are you?
00:24:17How did you?
00:24:25Get a carriage
00:24:26General
00:24:27She's still Vadraska's wife
00:24:29Taking her like this
00:24:30Is that wise?
00:24:31You think that bastard treats her like a wife?
00:24:37What a pain
00:24:38First he cancels the party
00:24:40Now we're rushing back in the rain
00:24:42Clever move, my lord
00:24:43Catch the bitch red-handed
00:24:45Of course
00:24:46Even if she is pregnant
00:24:47Who knows whose bastard it is?
00:24:49She'll never touch my inheritance
00:24:56Why have we stopped?
00:24:57Scar Alfrontes
00:24:59Berglars
00:25:06Berglars
00:25:07Protect the master
00:25:14Cousin
00:25:15What are you doing here?
00:25:16Three sentences
00:25:18Explain
00:25:18I took everyone to the hunting lodge
00:25:21There must be some misunderstanding
00:25:23Two
00:25:23She's my wife
00:25:24This is a family matter
00:25:26You shouldn't
00:25:26Three
00:25:27General
00:25:28This is still our house
00:25:30And you're holding our mistress
00:25:32Doesn't look right, does it?
00:25:37Not right
00:25:39Melis is in charge of my northern supply lines
00:25:41She was nearly assault in her own home
00:25:44You and Scar are suspects
00:25:45I'm taking her in for questioning
00:25:48Eric, you can't
00:25:49Edward!
00:25:50Sir!
00:25:56Sir!
00:25:56Sir!
00:26:00Drive faster!
00:26:01Get to the witch doctor
00:26:03Now!
00:26:12Well, well
00:26:13Look who's awake
00:26:14My dear wife
00:26:16Did you really think you could get away?
00:26:18Watching us enjoy your grandfather's fortune
00:26:21Must break your heart
00:26:25Be always be ours
00:26:27Be always be ours
00:26:28But it was always meant to be ours
00:26:37Maris
00:26:38As your savior
00:26:39I think I've earned the right to know the truth about that night
00:26:43You're...
00:26:44You're right
00:26:55You're awake
00:26:55My clothes
00:26:56You cut your knee pretty badly fighting that bastard
00:26:59They were soaked in blood, I threw them out
00:27:08Then who changed me into this?
00:27:12The witch doctor from that day
00:27:14You know her?
00:27:16So...
00:27:16The woman in the mask that night
00:27:19That was you, wasn't it?
00:27:22I...
00:27:26Sir, the scout has returned
00:27:27The woman from that night has been found
00:27:29It is not Lady Melris
00:27:32What?
00:27:36What?
00:27:38What did you just say?
00:27:40General, we found the masked woman from that night
00:27:43It's Lady Adele Valentine, daughter of Duke Ace
00:27:46She's right outside
00:27:55Melris?
00:27:56What on earth are you doing here?
00:28:02You two know each other
00:28:06Good day, General
00:28:07I am Adele Valentine
00:28:11Melris is my cousin
00:28:14Take them off
00:28:21There's even a family crest engraved inside the earring
00:28:25So that's why you came back to the castle looking for me
00:28:31How did you come by these?
00:28:32Our grandfather had a pair of pearl earrings custom made for every girl in the Valentine family
00:28:38My cousin likely has a pair very similar to mine
00:28:40But not quite the same
00:28:41Where were you a month ago?
00:28:43I had gone to visit my cousin that day
00:28:44But as it turned out she happened to be away at her mother's
00:28:46When I arrived I saw the castle was hosting a masquerade ball and I was curious
00:28:49I heard you've been searching for the person from that
00:28:51So I finally worked up the courage to come to you
00:28:53I know this is hardly proper but I
00:28:56I simply couldn't forget you
00:28:58How can she spew such nauseating lies without a shred of shame?
00:29:02Lady Melris
00:29:04Is what she said true?
00:29:11Lady Melris
00:29:13Is what she said true?
00:29:22Yes
00:29:24Everything Adel said is true
00:29:29General, you believe me now don't you?
00:29:36Edward
00:29:37Sir, escort Lady Adel out, prepare a generous gift to thank her for her candid
00:29:43What?
00:29:44General, aren't we going to talk a little longer?
00:29:59Lord Eric, thank you for saving me yesterday
00:30:04I'll take my leave now
00:30:05I also hope the general can keep what happened last night to himself
00:30:09Wait!
00:30:09I saved you only because I have no interest in seeing my business partner come to harm
00:30:16Business partner?
00:30:17When did I ever agree to that?
00:30:19The North cannot go a single day without grain shipments
00:30:22Scar is worse than useless, I was counting on you from the start
00:30:25Are you really going to turn me down?
00:30:27Take it, come work for me
00:30:30And I can offer you compensation beyond anything you'd imagine
00:30:34No, if I stay by his side my belly will grow day by day
00:30:37He'll find out about the pregnancy sooner or later
00:30:38This madman will never let me go
00:30:40I appreciate the offer my lord, but I must declare the proposal is already in your hands
00:30:43I'm sure finding someone capable of understanding it won't be difficult
00:30:45I told you, I have the power to help you reclaim every last piece of your grandfather's estate
00:30:47Won't you at least consider?
00:30:49Perhaps you're not aware, but that fool Scar could never hold on to an estate of that size
00:30:54Even the royal family has their eyes on that prize now
00:30:57What do you think?
00:30:57Will Scar fight to the death to keep it or will he trade your grandfather's legacy for a title and
00:31:02a promotion?
00:31:08Have you made up your mind?
00:31:10If what he says is true, time is running out
00:31:13I have to take this gamble
00:31:14But he can never ever find out about the child
00:31:17I have two conditions
00:31:19Name them
00:31:19First, I'll serve as your advisor for two months with full authority over the northern trade routes
00:31:23After two months, whether I succeed or fail, you will honor your promise and help me reclaim my entire inheritance
00:31:28Fine
00:31:29And the second?
00:31:32I...
00:31:34I'd like to receive part of my payment in advance to purchase a residence
00:31:38Because of Scar?
00:31:39You've seen it yourself
00:31:40That scum would do anything for money
00:31:42I need somewhere safe
00:31:44Hmm
00:31:45Scar and his mistress have already been thrown into the dungeon on suspicion of treason and collying with the enemy
00:31:50You... when did you...
00:31:51While you were unconscious
00:31:52And I've also had Edward replace every last guard at your castle
00:31:56He had everything set in motion long before I woke up
00:31:59Step by step, he's been backing me into a corner
00:32:01What a ruthless, calculating bastard
00:32:05You have my gratitude, General, for all the trouble you've gone to
00:32:11Melris, just how long do you think you can keep running from me?
00:32:20Melris!
00:32:20What were you doing coming out of General Eric's estate today?
00:32:23And wearing his shirt, no less
00:32:24Am I required to report my whereabouts to you?
00:32:27You don't have to report anything to me
00:32:28But you're a married woman spending the night in another man's house
00:32:31Have you no shame?
00:32:32Aren't you worried about dragging the Valentine name through the mud?
00:32:34General Eric is Scar's cousin, I call him my brother-in-law
00:32:37What's wrong with visiting family?
00:32:38Forget it, I didn't come here to argue
00:32:39I just wanted to remind you, you're already married
00:32:41So the woman General Eric has been searching for all across the city can only be me
00:32:45After all, you didn't come to my house that night, did you?
00:32:47I trust you know exactly what to do, my dear cousin
00:32:48I know you envy me, being the woman who'll soon be at General Eric's side
00:32:52Not like you
00:32:53Your mother died young
00:32:54And if Grandfather hadn't gone seen me and left you a scrap of the estate
00:32:57Even Scar would have been out of your league
00:32:58So now that I've got something on you
00:33:00You better fall in line
00:33:02You dare hit me?!
00:33:03I'll help you
00:33:04But insulting Grandfather, that you deserved
00:33:07And one more thing
00:33:08My parents may have died young, but they did teach me one lesson
00:33:11Do not provoke me, and I will not provoke you
00:33:14But if you do provoke me, I will return it a hundredfold
00:33:19Starting tomorrow, I'll use my knee injury as an excuse
00:33:21I'll tell Eric I can't travel, so he'll have to come here for our discussions
00:33:27When that happens, you can seize the opportunity yourself
00:33:31Since when are you so generous?
00:33:33I need someone to distract him
00:33:34You need a chance to get close to him, we each get what we want
00:33:37You'd better mean what you say
00:33:41Your vanity dear cousin has just done me an enormous favour
00:33:52Two months
00:33:53The northern route must be solid
00:33:55How much does your garrison need for spring?
00:33:58It's still winter
00:33:59Why ask that now?
00:34:01To be prepared
00:34:02Spring floods are coming
00:34:04Every foot the river rises
00:34:06The supply boats draw one less foot
00:34:09One delay
00:34:10And the northern forts go hungry for three days
00:34:14Why are you here?
00:34:15My cousin asked me to stay
00:34:17So I did
00:34:19I heard you talking about supplies
00:34:21Grandfather taught me a thing or two
00:34:23Hope you don't mind
00:34:24If you have something useful to say, say it
00:34:29Then I'll be bold
00:34:30About the northern route
00:34:31There are only three routes
00:34:33She stayed up all night memorizing my plan
00:34:35Word for word
00:34:36But is he really that attractive?
00:34:38That road is safest, but the terrain is rough
00:34:40So the caravans can load at the eastern waterway
00:34:43That way, the relay stations won't be overwhelmed
00:34:50Just some thoughts, General
00:34:52Don't laugh at me
00:34:56Seems the Valiant family has more than one businesswoman
00:35:00You're too kind, General
00:35:01I just read a few books
00:35:03Nothing like my cousin
00:35:06Lady Melris
00:35:11Did you arrange Lady Adele for me?
00:35:14As a surprise?
00:35:18Of course not
00:35:19General, don't joke like that
00:35:27Just joking
00:35:29No offence, Lady Adele
00:35:39But you named three routes
00:35:41Greyport's got salt inspections
00:35:43Eastern waterways risky in spring floods
00:35:45Northern road has bandits
00:35:47If you had to pick one, which is safest?
00:35:51That sounds simple, but it's not
00:35:53Weather, manpower, military schedules
00:35:56I haven't figured it out yet
00:36:01Use all three, General
00:36:03Spread the risk
00:36:04If one fails, the others keep the supply going
00:36:08Three routes cost three times the money
00:36:10If the Empire just wanted to buy safety
00:36:12Why hire merchants just print more coin?
00:36:16Business is like war
00:36:18Memorizing tactics doesn't make you a General
00:36:20He knew
00:36:22He knew she was just reciting
00:36:24I'm sorry
00:36:25I didn't think it through
00:36:29That bitch
00:36:30She left out details on purpose
00:36:33Made me look like a fool in front of him
00:36:39Took you long enough
00:36:40You want to die?
00:36:43Sorry, my lady
00:36:44I didn't want it to be too hot
00:36:47Useless
00:36:48Get out
00:36:53You like attention?
00:36:55Fine
00:36:56I'll give you plenty
00:37:05I wasn't much help just now
00:37:08So I had the kitchen make coffee
00:37:10For the General
00:37:11And my cousin
00:37:23Cousin, you used to love this blend as a child
00:37:25Still the same I hope?
00:37:27She knows this coffee gives me cramps
00:37:29And I'm pregnant
00:37:31Thank you cousin, but
00:37:34I ground the beans myself this morning
00:37:36You won't even take a sip
00:37:37After I went to all that trouble
00:37:39You misunderstand
00:37:40I just take my coffee, Weesa
00:37:41More sugar
00:37:43Fine, I'll get you some
00:37:44Wait here
00:37:55If I spill it, she'll say I challenge her
00:37:58But where can I pour it with him watching?
00:38:03General
00:38:06Next time you don't want something, knock it over
00:38:09In front of me, you don't have to spare anyone's feelings
00:38:14Cousin, here's your...
00:38:17General, you drank hers too?
00:38:25You?
00:38:25Sorry, let me clean that up
00:38:30Scatter
00:38:32Then gather
00:38:36I've got it
00:38:38Someone said, give me a lever and I'll move the world
00:38:40Why not find a lever for the Northern Route too?
00:38:45You mean Silverbush
00:38:47Right
00:38:48Greyport can't handle big wagons
00:38:50But it can take sealed crates and small boats
00:38:53Eastern waterways risky in spring
00:38:55But light boats can make it
00:38:57Northern Road runs empty carriages and guards
00:39:01By the time anyone notices, the grain's already on the north
00:39:04So we split everything into three
00:39:06Send to Silverburg first
00:39:07The enemy sees three fake roads
00:39:11But the real wave, they never see coming
00:39:15A diversion
00:39:16Brilliant
00:39:17You really are the one I chose, Melris
00:39:21You're too kind
00:39:22There she goes again
00:39:24Stealing the show
00:39:25I should have made her drink that coffee
00:39:27General, your neck
00:39:29And your hands
00:39:32Don't scratch
00:39:35That looks like a nettle rash
00:39:37Scratching all these scars
00:39:39You put something in the coffee
00:39:42No!
00:39:51I didn't, I swear
00:39:55Get a physician
00:39:56If there's anything in that coffee that shouldn't be there
00:39:58The dungeon is the least of your worries
00:40:00General, I was only trying to
00:40:02Get out!
00:40:06General, until the physician arrives, the itching will get worse
00:40:09Let me make you a salve
00:40:11My grandfather taught me some remedies
00:40:13Fine, try
00:40:16Quick!
00:40:17Get me plantates, Callumdaler, rose water and some cold cream base
00:40:21Oh, my god
00:40:26Out! Close the door
00:40:43General, the salve is ready
00:40:45Then what are you waiting for? Come here, help me put it on
00:40:48But you said you don't like people touching you
00:40:51Once is strange, twice is familiar
00:40:54Not the first time, still shy?
00:40:56Who's shy?
00:41:06I
00:41:07Have to admit
00:41:08This body
00:41:10Those muscles
00:41:12It's deadly
00:41:17Had enough?
00:41:20What? I
00:41:24I
00:41:25Your salve works
00:41:26Itching is almost gone
00:41:27But your technique is terrible
00:41:33General, the rash is definitely from stinging nettle
00:41:36But the coffee is clean
00:41:38No poison
00:41:40What?
00:41:55General, I've tested both cups carefully. No poison whatsoever.
00:41:59But the handle of this cup, there's trace amounts of stinging nettle pulp.
00:42:06General, you heard him. No poison in the coffee. I was just trying to be nice.
00:42:10How could I possibly want to hurt you? It must be the kitchen staff.
00:42:13They handled wild vegetables without washing their hands. Then they touched the cups.
00:42:17That's possible. Young nettle can be boiled and eaten. Some servants use it as cheap greens.
00:42:21Cousin, this is your castle. Aren't you going to question your own servants?
00:42:25If someone tried to poison the General, that's a death sentence.
00:42:35The pulp is dry by now. No one saw her do it. Even if we investigate, she'll blame the kitchen.
00:42:42General, the physician already said there's no poison. You're not seriously hurt.
00:42:46Why don't we leave it here? Otherwise, someone might use this to sow discord in the household.
00:42:50Cousin, are you still accusing me?
00:42:55Just thinking out loud. Don't read too much into it, cousin.
00:43:03My lady, Duke Isles has arrived.
00:43:09Oh, Duke Isles!
00:43:11Father!
00:43:14My dear girl, don't cry. Tell me.
00:43:16Who made you cry?
00:43:18Father, someone tried to say I poisoned General Eric's coffee.
00:43:21Eric!
00:43:21My daughter is spoiled but never dare poison anyone.
00:43:24This must be a misunderstanding. Don't you agree?
00:43:31Same Valentine blood. How can they be so different?
00:43:36Duke, don't worry. This happened in Lady Melris's castle. She's not pressing charges. Neither am I.
00:43:43Good.
00:43:44A misunderstanding, then. Let's move on.
00:43:47No! We can't just let this go. Her servants must be the ones who did this. We should question every
00:43:53single one of them.
00:43:54Shut your mouth, Adele!
00:43:55If you want Eric, don't act like a fool in front of him. Know when to stop. Understand?
00:44:03General, I'm also here on the Emperor's orders. He's concerned. You locked up Vanland Scar for treason, but he's still
00:44:09a titled noble. You didn't file any paperwork with the court. That puts the Emperor in a difficult position.
00:44:14It's a delicate matter.
00:44:15I am a witness. The man who broke into my castle admitted Scar sent him to assault me.
00:44:19Lady Melris, the Emperor is sympathetic to your ordeal, but one woman's testimony isn't enough to convict a Vittart. Besides,
00:44:25you're still husband and wife. Wouldn't it be more dignified to find a compromise?
00:44:29No compromise.
00:44:31Lady Melris, the Emperor's wish is...
00:44:33You can tell the Emperor this. I may be a merchant's daughter, but I won't be bullied. If he wants
00:44:38me to drop this, Suscar returns everything my grandfather left me, and he divorces me.
00:44:43That's... I agree.
00:44:51The Valentine estate is tied to the northern supply route. It's a matter of imperial security. Scar couldn't even protect
00:44:57his own wife. How can he be trusted with such assets? Better put it in the right hands.
00:45:01You too.
00:45:02I'll convey your proposal to the Emperor.
00:45:06Thank you, Duke.
00:45:15Melris, you're a clever woman.
00:45:17If you help Adele marry General Eric, I'll put in a good word for you with the Emperor.
00:45:21You're very invested in your daughter's marriage, Duke.
00:45:24The whole city knows Eric is looking for the masked woman from that night. My daughter claimed it was her.
00:45:28The Duke's honor is at stake.
00:45:30So it doesn't matter who it really was. It has to be Adele.
00:45:34I knew you'd understand.
00:45:43After the Duke left, things were calm.
00:45:46I put everything into the Mortham supply plan.
00:45:56Less than to the month, our plan was ready.
00:46:00The first Tushed shipment was about to leave.
00:46:09Looks like the test run worked.
00:46:15Melris, I want to throw a banquet.
00:46:17A banquet?
00:46:19Who should we invite?
00:46:21You handle it.
00:46:30Who to invite?
00:46:31The Emperor hasn't agreed to my terms yet.
00:46:34He's still unhappy about Eric's actions.
00:46:36If I push too hard, it might backfire.
00:46:44I'll need the Duke to speak on my behalf.
00:46:50Beth?
00:46:52My lady, what do you need?
00:46:58Deliver this to Duke Iles' estate.
00:47:00Put it in his hands personally.
00:47:16Sorry for the poor hospitality.
00:47:18Please forgive me.
00:47:20Lady Melris, I can hardly believe it.
00:47:22You've opened the northern supply route in such a short time.
00:47:25You flatter me, my lord.
00:47:27None of this would be possible without General Eric's trust.
00:47:30And your support behind the scenes.
00:47:33Melris.
00:47:34Uncle.
00:47:35The General isn't here yet?
00:47:37He's dealing with urgent military matters.
00:47:39He asked me to open the evening in his place.
00:47:42A married woman, acting like she's the lady of the house.
00:47:45How does she have the nerve?
00:47:49General.
00:47:50The banquet has started.
00:47:52Aren't you going?
00:47:53Better to let it out here than lose control in front of everyone.
00:48:02Tonight, I want every noble in the capital to see what Melris is worth.
00:48:06The northern supply plan, plus the support of the aristocracy.
00:48:09Even if the Emperor resists, he'll have to let her take back what's hers.
00:48:12General, you've gone to great lengths for her.
00:48:15She deserves it.
00:48:16General Eric is just so busy.
00:48:18He insists on doing everything himself, but he told me tonight's banquet.
00:48:24Nominally for celebration, but actually...
00:48:26Actually what, Adele?
00:48:27Don't stop there.
00:48:29Actually, it's for me.
00:48:31Is he going to propose?
00:48:33Oh, don't say that.
00:48:34But soon.
00:48:36Unlike some people, can't even keep her own husband.
00:48:40Her inheritance is slipping away.
00:48:42How pathetic.
00:48:44Same old lines, no imagination.
00:48:47Cousin, once the General and I are engaged, do you really think you can keep hanging around him?
00:48:52A married woman?
00:48:53If that happens, I'll congratulate you.
00:48:55In another month, my partnership with the General ends.
00:48:57He'll be all yours.
00:48:58What did you say?
00:49:04Say that again.
00:49:06General, you're finally here.
00:49:13Who invited her?
00:49:21Who invited her?
00:49:24My cousin meant well.
00:49:26She wrote to me herself.
00:49:28Asked me to come.
00:49:30If I've upset the General, I'll leave.
00:49:33General, you...
00:49:39Damn it.
00:49:40He didn't even look at me.
00:49:46Why did you invite that woman?
00:49:49You said I could arrange the guest list.
00:49:51Not her!
00:49:52A liar.
00:49:54The Duke is the Emperor's right hand.
00:49:56I couldn't not invite him, and he'd bring her.
00:49:59So you sought me out to get your inheritance back?
00:50:02Yes.
00:50:03If that's how you see it.
00:50:04But do you really want the Emperor to think you're a threat?
00:50:08Distrust you?
00:50:09Even turn against you?
00:50:11Then you'd lose everything.
00:50:12Just like me.
00:50:15You're worried about me?
00:50:16I'm not.
00:50:17I just want to know how you'll help me get my inheritance back.
00:50:20The two months are almost out.
00:50:24Melris.
00:50:26Why do you keep pushing me away?
00:50:44General Eric, where did you go?
00:50:46I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:50:51Get away from me!
00:50:53Get away from me!
00:50:55Help!
00:50:56Eric!
00:50:58My daughter is carrying your child.
00:51:01Is this how you treat her?
00:51:05What did you say?
00:51:14Eric!
00:51:16My daughter is pregnant with your child
00:51:19How much more humiliation must she endure?
00:51:30Impossible
00:51:31You don't believe it?
00:51:37Dr. Sear!
00:51:43Lady Adele, if you please
00:51:48Yes
00:51:50Eric, let's be honest
00:51:53We both know Adele isn't the woman from that night
00:51:56But do you really want the truth to come out?
00:51:59Even if you could prove she's lying
00:52:02Would you dare?
00:52:04The Emperor himself wouldn't dare speak to me like that
00:52:06Then go ahead
00:52:06Let everyone know that Maris, a married woman, committed adultery
00:52:09She won't get her inheritance back
00:52:11She'll be lucky to stay alive
00:52:12Marry Adele
00:52:13Our houses unite
00:52:15The Emperor would welcome it
00:52:16It's best for everyone
00:52:17Even for Merit
00:52:19Fine
00:52:21Everyone
00:52:22Lady Adele's urine is pale yellow, slightly cloudy, after standing a white precipitation forms
00:52:27This indicates pregnancy, early stage, but 70% certain
00:52:44I see
00:52:45I agree
00:52:50Two weeks from now I will marry Lady Adele
00:53:16I keep telling myself he's just a partner, a killer, a madman I should stay away from
00:53:25I hate being light
00:53:26But the memories keep coming back
00:53:28I can't stop them
00:53:32I can't believe General Eric proposed to Lady Adele tonight
00:53:37And the wedding is in two weeks
00:53:43I hear she's already pregnant
00:53:45That's why it's so rushed
00:53:46The Emperor himself will attend
00:53:48I must prepare for a gift
00:53:51This is all my fault
00:53:54If I hadn't dragged him into that dance he wouldn't have been searching for that woman
00:53:58Adele wouldn't have had a chance
00:54:00Now the Duke is threatening him
00:54:02Adele is pretending to be pregnant
00:54:04He's trapped
00:54:06You're the one I chose, Melis
00:54:07No
00:54:10I let you down
00:54:13My lady, you haven't eaten in two weeks
00:54:15You'll make yourself ill
00:54:19I've made up my mind
00:54:20I'm going to see Eric
00:54:22But soon
00:54:25You may have to leave this castle
00:54:27Whatever you decide, my lady
00:54:29I shouldn't know the rest
00:54:36Thank you, Bas
00:54:41Thank you, Bas
00:54:42This all started because of me
00:54:45Even if they call me a whore
00:54:48Even if I lose any hope of getting my inheritance back
00:54:51I have to tell him the truth
00:54:58Eric
00:54:59Whatever it costs me
00:55:01This time, I'll face it with you
00:55:04I won't let you carry this alone
00:55:09This isn't right
00:55:11Stop the carriage!
00:55:12Why are we going this way?
00:55:15Took you long enough to notice, my lady
00:55:18You work for Adele
00:55:23The lady knew you'd go to the general
00:55:33The box fell out
00:55:34Should we get it?
00:55:35Who cares?
00:55:36The lady only wants her
00:55:40Women wants that general
00:55:42What's he got that I don't?
00:55:44The lady won't even look at me
00:55:47You?
00:55:48If anyone, it should be me
00:55:50Maybe that kid in her belly is mine
00:55:53She called me to her room plenty of times
00:55:56She called me too
00:55:57Who knows who the father really is
00:56:00She's sleeping with her own guards?
00:56:03And she wants to marry Eric
00:56:05She's insane
00:56:13Cousin
00:56:14You slapped me before
00:56:16Now we're even
00:56:24Adele, the truth always comes out
00:56:26Keep telling yourself that
00:56:29Once the Emperor proves, nothing else matters
00:56:32Oh, I have good news for you
00:56:34You should thank Eric and my father
00:56:36The Emperor just signed over all the Valentine property to you
00:56:42Now what will you do to the woman who made you lose everything?
00:56:48Enjoy yourself
00:56:49I don't want anyone knowing she's here until after the wedding
00:56:53Melris
00:57:00My dear
00:57:02We meet again
00:57:04Adele told me everything
00:57:06You and Eric
00:57:07No wonder he's always protecting you
00:57:10If you're carrying his bastard, I hope it's born as mad as he is
00:57:15Mad or not, at least it won't be a fool like you
00:57:17Used and thrown away without even knowing it
00:57:20What do you mean?
00:57:21Kill me and you'll hang
00:57:23I won't kill you
00:57:25I'll make you wish you were dead
00:57:27Then Adele defeat me and blames you
00:57:29You're the perfect scapegoat
00:57:32What do you think the Emperor will do then?
00:57:36I've got nothing left
00:57:37I'm a dead man walking
00:57:39Taking you with me?
00:57:41Worth it!
00:57:45Damn it
00:57:46Ever since she left
00:57:48Even killing prisoners only helps for a moment now
00:57:53General
00:57:53General
00:57:54Just need the final route map for Silverbirth
00:57:56Lady Melesh was supposed to bring it this morning
00:57:58She didn't come?
00:57:59No
00:57:59And she didn't send word either
00:58:04General!
00:58:05Please save my lady!
00:58:07What happened to her?
00:58:08She left yesterday with a box

01:03:02Get out. You're not worth the effort.
01:03:07Look out!
01:03:18It's over.
01:03:19But you're off.
01:03:22It's fine. It doesn't hurt.
01:03:34Thank God. You're alive.
01:03:37You idiot. Why do you always show up when I need you?
01:03:41You kept pushing me away. But after I took you from Ska that night, I knew it was you.
01:03:49How?
01:03:50Because you're different.
01:03:53I won the war in the north. But my regiment, Crimson Raven, was wiped out. Since that day, I've never
01:04:03really left that battlefield.
01:04:08Everyone and everything will rot in my eyes.
01:04:15And they left you that night.
01:04:27Of course, killing those prisoners helps, too. Revenge for my men. The visions stopped for a while.
01:04:33The rumors. They said you kill for fun. It's because of this.
01:04:37They had my brother's blood on their hands. They deserve to die.
01:04:41I hid from you because I thought you were a monster.
01:04:46Maybe I am. But if I hadn't met you that night, my world would be nothing but hell.
01:04:58You've suffered enough.
01:05:05My dear son-in-law, the wedding is about to start.
01:05:08And here you are hiding in a cellar with another man's wife.
01:05:12How unbecoming.
01:05:17Duke, is this your wedding party or a coup?
01:05:22What do you think, General?
01:05:24The Emperor himself is officiating.
01:05:27Only you could draw him here.
01:05:30Your target is the Emperor?
01:05:32Two choices.
01:05:33Put on the suit. Marry my daughter.
01:05:37I promise Lady Melris will live.
01:05:41Or you both die here.
01:05:43Fine. But you swear she won't be harmed.
01:05:45Of course.
01:05:47Take the groom to change.
01:05:55Get rid of the woman. Cleanly.
01:06:06Sorry, my lady. Nothing personal.
01:06:09You're just in the way.
01:06:26Forgive me, my lady.
01:06:27The General had me wait outside the castle.
01:06:29He guessed something like this might happen.
01:06:36I won't kill you.
01:06:39But at the wedding, in front of the Emperor,
01:06:41you'll say what you said in the carriage.
01:06:44Every word.
01:06:45Lady Adele will have our heads.
01:06:48She was going to kill you anyway.
01:06:50After I'm dead, would she leave two witnesses alive?
01:06:53Fine.
01:06:55Fine.
01:06:57Time is short, Edward.
01:06:58Split up, you take them to the Imperial Guard.
01:07:00Wait outside the chapel. I'll go ahead.
01:07:01My lady, that's too dangerous.
01:07:02If the General finds out...
01:07:17These ceremonial guards are wearing battle armor.
01:07:20The Duke's men.
01:07:23Erik, are you unwell?
01:07:29Your Majesty, the General is merely tired.
01:07:32Wedding nerves, perhaps.
01:07:35Remember, Melis is still in my hands.
01:07:39Ruin this wedding.
01:07:40She won't see tomorrow.
01:07:42General Erik Bosenheit,
01:07:44do you take Lady Adele to be your wedded wife?
01:07:48To have and to hold?
01:07:49He does not!
01:08:04Who is that?
01:08:06How dare they interrupt the wedding in front of His Majesty?
01:08:16Sorry, Lady Adele.
01:08:18He's already taken.
01:08:23Who are you?
01:08:24How dare you?
01:08:26Guards!
01:08:27Remove this woman!
01:08:30Impressive.
01:08:32You've saved me enough times.
01:08:34Let me save you for once.
01:08:40Adele.
01:08:41Erik doesn't belong to you.
01:08:43No, it's you.
01:08:44The whore.
01:08:45Come to steal another woman's wedding?
01:08:46Erik, come here.
01:08:47I am the one you're looking for.
01:08:48I'm carrying your child.
01:08:49Lie often enough and you start to believe it yourself.
01:08:53Lady Adele was never at that masquerade.
01:08:55Who is that?
01:08:55She lied.
01:08:56She forced me to cover for her because my aunt had something on me.
01:08:59That's how she killed everyone.
01:09:01Even the General.
01:09:02Lies!
01:09:02You have an earring!
01:09:03So do I!
01:09:04That proves nothing!
01:09:05And I'm pregnant with the General's child.
01:09:07That no one can deny!
01:09:11Really?
01:09:14I'm pregnant with the General's child.
01:09:15I'm pregnant with the General's child.
01:09:16I'm pregnant with the General's child.
01:09:16Gentlemen, in front of His Majesty and the court, tell us who really fathered Lady Adele's child.
01:09:25It was me!
01:09:26No, him!
01:09:27Your Majesty, spare us!
01:09:28She called both of us to her chambers.
01:09:30We don't know whose it is!
01:09:35Duke Isles!
01:09:36This is the daughter you raised!
01:09:38How much else have you been hiding from me?
01:09:39My daughter just wanted to marry.
01:09:41What harm was there?
01:09:42But since you're all so eager to humiliate us...
01:09:44Your Majesty, let's continue the celebration.
01:09:47Since my daughter's wedding is off, how about a coronation instead?
01:09:53Your Majesty.
01:09:56You trusted that mad dog from the North too much.
01:09:59The capital's finances, the noble marriages, the palace defences.
01:10:03Who controls all of it?
01:10:05My house.
01:10:06Yes!
01:10:07This is treason!
01:10:08History is written by the victor.
01:10:10I wanted to use the marriage to control the General.
01:10:13Take my time.
01:10:14The plans change.
01:10:16You think you can protect anyone?
01:10:33Lady Malice has already won the Imperial Guard.
01:10:36Your own men are on their way!
01:10:38No!
01:10:41No!
01:10:43No!
01:10:45No!
01:10:46No!
01:10:47No!
01:10:47No!
01:10:47No!
01:10:50No!
01:10:52No!
01:10:57No!
01:10:58Your fight is with me!
01:11:07Arrest them!
01:11:08every last one of the traitors
01:11:13I should be the one standing beside him
01:11:16It's all because of you, Anise
01:11:21Die, bitch!
01:11:33Eric!
01:11:40The bride should have been me
01:11:51Eric, Eric
01:11:53Eric!
01:12:03The general has a strong constitution
01:12:05He'll live
01:12:07But he needs months of rest
01:12:09The wounds are deep
01:12:13Why did you have to be so stupid?
01:12:15Throwing yourself in front of a knife for me?
01:12:23You even cry beautifully
01:12:25You're awake!
01:12:26Stop joking at a time like this!
01:12:28I'm here
01:12:32I'm not afraid to die
01:12:33The only thing I'm afraid of
01:12:34Is you ignoring me
01:12:36If you ever throw yourself in front of a knife
01:12:39Again
01:12:39And I really will ignore you
01:12:41Anise
01:12:41Will you marry me?
01:12:52Yes
01:12:53I'll marry you
01:12:54You said it
01:12:56No taking it back
01:12:58But after I interrupted the wedding
01:13:00Everyone knows I slept with you while I was still married
01:13:02The Emperor doesn't approve of me
01:13:04I'm afraid
01:13:05As long as you're willing
01:13:07Nothing else matters
01:13:21Oh
01:13:22I almost forgot to tell you something
01:13:32A secret
01:13:33What secret?
01:13:39I'm pregnant too
01:13:43What did you just say?
01:13:45I said I'm pregnant
01:13:46Yours
01:13:48How long?
01:13:50Since
01:13:50That first night
01:13:52That's my boy
01:13:53Why didn't you tell me sooner?
01:13:55I was afraid you'd think I used you
01:13:57That I just wanted your seed
01:14:00Idiot
01:14:02My child
01:14:03I'll raise him myself
01:14:06Then you'd better get well soon
01:14:09For him
01:14:10I'll be out of bed tomorrow
01:14:13Don't be silly
01:14:14The witch doctor said months of rest
01:14:18Then you stay with me
01:14:22All right
01:14:22All right
