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?
00:01:21I can't handle the consequences.
00:01:25I'll kill you.
00:01:30If you want him, he's so üstured.
00:01:43If you want him, he's so calm, you're so calm and you're so frightened.
00:01:44if you're too rainfall for sure you're too nervous.
00:01:44If you want him, no, I'm so overwhelmed.
00:01:51I'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,
00:02:02everything 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!
00:02:14Scar hasn't touched me in six months.
00:02:17Before I announce the pregnancy, I need him to sleep with me one more time.
00:02:21Melris! The carriage is waiting!
00:02:24If we're late for the victory banquet, the 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, what are you up to?
00:02:41Nothing.
00:02:42Why 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.
00:02:55I was just about to tidy the room and change her ladyship's rags.
00:02:58Wait outside.
00:02:59I'll get dressed and be right out.
00:03:00Hurry it up.
00:03:12Feed me another one.
00:03:18My lord.
00:03:20I prefer the curtains drawn.
00:03:23If you cared so much about appearances, you shouldn't have brought her into the carriage.
00:03:27Tonight is a banquet hosted by his majesty himself for my cousin, Eric.
00:03:32If you hadn't married me, a merchant's daughter like you would never set foot in the royal palace your entire
00:03:37life.
00:03:38Exactly.
00:03:40I'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, you wouldn't even be able to afford this carriage.
00:03:48You'd have to go roll around in the dirt.
00:03:51I never want to hear you say that again.
00:03:53Don'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, my cousin will think I'm a respectable man.
00:04:15And the northern ration contracts will stay in my hands.
00:04:33General.
00:04:34His 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.
00:04:54Keep 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.
00:05:26Count 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, but 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.
00:05:51Please 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!
00:06:10The 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, why does she feel so familiar?
00:07:02Erik Hohenheim.
00:07:04The Empire will forever remember your triumphs in the North.
00:07:08My life for the Empire.
00:07:10He looks as though he's in pain.
00:07:13Rumor has it he'd 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 rumors 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?
00:07:50What 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, but our garrisons out there eat through supplies fast.
00:08:01We 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.
00:08:07I hardly make a dime.
00:08:11So regarding the rations contract.
00:08:19Shut up!
00:08:21Cousin?
00:08:22The rations were always tight whilst I was on the front.
00:08:24We only secured the area a month ago.
00:08:26The mackerel.
00:08:26Yet when I dressed as an ally and slipped into your estate your little masquerade was quite
00:08:30the 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.
00:08:45Scar hosted that ball simply to placify the gang leaders.
00:08:47yes yes exactly all for the Empire you're defending him just stating the
00:08:54facts and what are you to him his wife so was the lady of the house present at
00:09:01the masquerade that night you misunderstand me general I'm merely
00:09:10speaking up for my husband as for the masquerade I wasn't there I was visiting
00:09:14my aunt in the country so you're not worried about your husband fooling around
00:09:17behind your back you cut off his contracts and publicly challenge him
00:09:21over a single party are you going to interrogate our marriage now to forgive
00:09:35my intrusion general I want a new logistics plan on my desk in two days if it's the
00:09:43same garbage as before then you're done with the northern contracts forever yes
00:09:49yes of course I'll redraw everything
00:10:00a stroke of luck actually there's no way Scar can come up with a new plan if I use
00:10:05this to make him sleep with me again then you can stay loud and clear
00:10:14good thing you had one on standby
00:10:21general please let me go I'm just a foot soldier I was following orders my girl is waiting for me
00:10:29back home please no please crimson raven general why haven't you found the
00:10:42woman from the masquerade yet do we even a prisoners left to kill he's been
00:10:49looking for me since that night crimson raven why haven't you found her yet are you quite sure you can
00:11:09handle the consequences what the hell is wrong with you cold-blooded monster he
00:11:20actually thinks of some hero of the Empire don't be angry my lord have some wine
00:11:44women who come to my door usually fall into one of two categories those who want to get pregnant
00:11:49with someone else's child and those who want to get rid of their own which one are you the latter
00:11:58I'm out of a few herbs I 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 favor and toss some of this incense into the burner
00:12:16for him
00:12:23let go what 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
00:12:44surely the general doesn't think I'm the latter I hear you and scar have only been married for
00:12:48three months in such a rush to have a baby you're awfully invested in other people's private matters
00:12:54general get out I caused the burn the least I can do is treat not necessary leave the medicine
00:13:03I'll do it myself you can't exactly reach your own back
00:13:13what a perfect body do 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 hold on have you seen it before
00:13:30never is that so I think it would suit you perfectly
00:13:36general please mind your boundaries
00:13:39her scent exactly the same
00:13:47changed 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 he finds out the secret I'll never be able to explain myself
00:14:01I need to end this

00:14:21besides selling off a few properties will keep us comfortable for a long time
00:14:25what do you know
00:14:26I 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
00:14:44I can't keep the baby

00:17:15I thought he never touched her
00:17:16it's true
00:17:20doesn't she find him repulsive
00:17:23finally over
00:17:24finally over
00:17:26if he tries to sell my inheritance once
00:17:28he'll do it again
00:17:29how much worse can things possibly get
00:17:32I'm risking it
00:17:33it's not as if I have any other way out
00:17:43you don't want to make a fool of yourself in front of your cousin do you
00:17:52that was rape
00:17:54rape
00:17:54aren't we husband and wife
00:17:56are you going to tell the whole world that I raped you lord banknet
00:17:58a merchant's daughter
00:18:00shameless as expected
00:18:01your grandfather's entail is clear
00:18:03only your legitimate child can inherit the valentine shops
00:18:06lands and granaries
00:18:08but I'm telling you right now
00:18:10you 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
00:18:15stamina
00:18:16you bitch
00:18:17don't celebrate just yet melis
00:18:18once you secure those northern contracts for me
00:18:20you'll be completely useless
00:18:22I'll make you wish you were dead
00:18:28two days
00:18:31interesting
00:18:31seems 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
00:18:45well
00:18:46because
00:18:47because that port is narrow
00:18:50right
00:18:50the 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 alfronson family sky
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
00:19:35northern contracts are yours fine
00:19:37but she has to be involved

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 but as it turned out she happened to be away at
00:28:46her 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 so i finally worked up the courage to come to
00:28:53you
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 is what she said true
00:29:11lady melris is what she said true
00:29:24yes everything adele said is true
00:29:29general you believe me now don't you
00:29:36edward sir escort lady adele 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 i 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 when did i ever agree to that the north cannot go a single day without grain
00:30:21shipments scar is worse than useless i was counting on you from the start are you really
00:30:25going to turn me down take it come work for me and i can offer you compensation beyond anything you'd
00:30:32imagine
00:30:34no if i stay by his side my belly will grow day by day he'll find out about the pregnancy
00:30:38sooner or
00:30:38later this madman will never let me go i appreciate the offer my lord but i must declare the proposal
00:30:42is already in your hands i'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 can consider perhaps you're not aware but that full scar could never hold
00:30:52onto an estate of that size even the royal family has their eyes on that prize now what do you
00:30:57think
00:30:57will scar fight to the death to keep it or will he trade your grandfather's legacy for a title
00:31:02and a promotion
00:31:08have you made up your mind if what he says is true time is running out i have to take
00:31:14this gamble but he
00:31:15can never ever find out about the child i have two conditions name them first i'll serve as your
00:31:20advisor for two months with full authority over the northern trade routes after two months whether
00:31:24i succeed or fail you will honor your promise and help me reclaim my entire inheritance fine and the
00:31:30second i i'd like to receive part of my payment in advance to purchase a residence because of scar
00:31:39you've seen it yourself that scum would do anything for money i need somewhere safe
00:31:45scar and his mistress have already been thrown into the dungeon on suspicion of treason and
00:31:49lying with the enemy you when did you while you were unconscious and i've also had edward replace
00:31:54every last guard at your castle he had everything set in motion long before i woke up step by step
00:32:00he's been backing me into a corner what a ruthless calculating bastard you have my gratitude general
00:32:06for 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 what were you doing coming out of general eric's estate today and wearing his shirt no less
00:32:24am i required to report my whereabouts to you you don't have to report anything to me but you're a
00:32:29married woman spending the night in another man's house have you no shame aren't you worried about
00:32:33dragging the valentine name through the mud general eric is scar's cousin i call him my brother-in-law
00:32:37what's wrong with visiting family forget it i didn't come here to argue i just wanted to remind
00:32:40you you're already married so the woman general eric has been searching for all across the city can
00:32:44only be me after all you didn't come to my house that night did you i trust you know exactly
00:32:47what
00:32:47do my dear cousin i know you envy me being the woman who'll soon be at general eric's side not
00:32:52like
00:32:52you your mother died young and if grandfather hadn't gone see me and left you a scrap of the estate
00:32:57even
00:32:57scar would have been out of your league so now that i've got something on you you better fall in
00:33:01line
00:33:02you dare hit me i'll help you but insulting grandfather that you deserved and one more
00:33:08thing my parents may have died young but they did teach me one lesson do not provoke me and i
00:33:13will
00:33:14not provoke you but if you do provoke me i will return it a hundredfold starting tomorrow i'll use
00:33:20my knee injury as an excuse i'll tell eric i can't travel so he'll have to come here for our
00:33:25discussions
00:33:27when that happens you can seize the opportunity yourself since when are you so generous i need
00:33:33someone to distract him you need a chance to get close to him we each get what we want
00:33:37you'd better mean what you say your vanity dear cousin has just done me an enormous favor
00:33:52two months the northern route must be solid how much does your garrison need for spring
00:33:58it's still winter why ask that now to be prepared spring floods are coming every foot the river
00:34:06rises the supply boats draw one less foot one delay and the northern forts go hungry for three days
00:34:14why are you here my cousin asked me to stay so i did i heard you talking about supplies grandfather
00:34:22taught me a thing or two hope you don't mind if you have something useful to say say it
00:34:29then i'll be bold about the northern route there are only three routes she stayed up all night
00:34:34memorizing my plan word for word but is he really that attractive that road is safest but the terrain
00:34:40is rough so the caravans can load at the eastern waterway that way the relay stations won't be overwhelmed
00:34:50just some thoughts general don't laugh at me
00:34:56seems the valiant family has more than one businesswoman
00:35:00you're too kind general i just read a few books nothing like my cousin
00:35:06lady melris
00:35:11did you arrange lady adele for me as a surprise
00:35:18of course not general don't joke like that
00:35:27just joking no offense lady adele
00:35:39but you named three routes grayport's got salt inspections
00:35:43eastern waterways risky in spring floods northern road has bandits
00:35:47if you had to pick one which is safest
00:35:51that sounds simple but it's not weather manpower military schedules i haven't figured it out yet
00:36:01use all three general spread the risk if one fails the others keep the supply going
00:36:08three routes cost three times the money if the empire just wanted to buy safety why hire merchants just
00:36:14print more coin business is like war memorizing tactics doesn't make you a general
00:36:20he knew he knew he knew she was just reciting i'm sorry i didn't think it through
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 you want to die sorry my lady i didn't want it to be too hot useless
00:36:47get out
00:36:53you like attention fine i'll give you plenty
00:37:06i wasn't much help just now so i had the kitchen make coffee for the general and my cousin
00:37:23cousin you used to love this blend as a child still the same i hope she knows this coffee gives
00:37:28me
00:37:29cramps and i'm pregnant thank you cousin but i ground the beans myself this morning it won't even take a
00:37:37sip after i went to all that trouble you misunderstand i just take my coffee visa more sugar fine i'll
00:37:44get you
00:37:44some wait here
00:37:55if i spill it she'll say i challenge her but where can i pour it with him watching
00:38:03general
00:38:06next time you don't want something knock it over in front of me you don't have to spare anyone's feelings
00:38:14cousin here's your general you drank hers too
00:38:25sorry let me clean that up
00:38:36i've got it someone said give me a lever and i'll move the world why not find a lever for
00:38:42the northern
00:38:42route too
00:38:45you mean silver bush
00:38:48right greyport can't handle big wagons but it can take sealed crates and small boats eastern waterways risky
00:38:55in spring but light boats can make it northern road runs empty carriages and guards by the time
00:39:01anyone notices the grain's already in the north so we split everything into three sent to silverberg
00:39:07first the enemy sees three fake roads but the real way they never see coming
00:39:15a diversion brilliant you really are the one i chose melris
00:39:21you're too kind there she goes again stealing the show i should have made her drink that coffee
00:39:27general your neck and your hands
00:39:32don't scratch
00:39:36that looks like a nettle rash scratching all these scars
00:39:39you put something in the coffee
00:39:50i didn't i swear
00:39:55get a physician if there's anything in that coffee that shouldn't be there the dungeon is the least of
00:39:59your hands
00:40:00general i was only trying to get out
00:40:06general until the physician arrives the itching will get worse
00:40:09let me make you a salve my grandfather taught me some remedies
00:40:13fine try
00:40:16quick get me plantes calumdala 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 then what are you waiting for come here help me put it on
00:40:48but you said you don't like people touching you once is strange twice is familiar not the first time
00:40:55still shy who's shy
00:41:07have to admit this body those muscles it's deadly
00:41:17had enough
00:41:20what i
00:41:24your salve works itching's almost gone but your technique is terrible
00:41:33general the rash is definitely from stinging nettle but the coffee is clean no poison
00:41:40what
00:41:54general i've tested both cups carefully no poison whatsoever but the handle of this cup
00:42:02there'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 how could i possibly
00:42:11want to hurt you it must be the kitchen staff they handled wild vegetables without washing their
00:42:15hands then they touch the cups that's possible young nettle can be boiled and eaten some servants use
00:42:20it as cheap greens cousin 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 why don't we leave it here
00:42:47otherwise 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
00:43:08oh duke isles father
00:43:14my dear girl don't cry tell me who made you cry
00:43:17father someone tried to say i poisoned general eric's coffee
00:43:20eric my daughter is spoiled but never dare poison anyone this must be a misunderstanding don't you agree
00:43:32same 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
00:43:44good a misunderstanding then let's move on no we can't just let this go her servants must be the
00:43:51ones who did this we should question every single one of them shut your mouth adele if you want eric
00:43:57don't act like a fool in front of him know when to stop understand general i'm also here on the
00:44:04emperor's orders he's concerned you locked up valent scar for treason but he's still a titled noble you
00:44:10didn't file any paperwork with the court that puts the emperor in a difficult position
00:44:14it's a delicate matter i am a witness the man who broke into my castle admitted scar sent him to
00:44:19assault me lady melris the emperor is sympathetic to your ordeal but one woman's
00:44:23testimony isn't enough to convict a vittart besides you're still husband and wife wouldn't
00:44:26it be more dignified to find a compromise no compromise lady 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
00:44:37if he wants me to drop this suscar returns everything my grandfather left me and he divorces
00:44:41me that's i agree
00:44:51the valentine estate is tied to the northern supply route it's a matter of imperial security scar
00:44:56couldn't even protect his own wife how can he be trusted with such assets better put it in the right
00:45:01hands you too i'll convey your proposal to the emperor thank you duke
00:45:15melris you're a clever woman if you help adele marry general eric i'll put in a good word for
00:45:20you with the emperor you're very invested in your daughter's marriage duke the whole city knows eric
00:45:25is looking for the masked woman from that night my daughter claimed it was her
00:45:28the duke's honor is at stake so 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 i put everything into the mortham supply plan
00:45:56less than to the month our plan was ready the first tushed shipment was about to leave
00:46:09looks like the test run worked
00:46:15melris i want to throw a banquet a banquet who should we invite you handle it
00:46:30who to invite the emperor hasn't agreed to my terms yet he's still unhappy about eric's actions
00:46:35if i push too hard it might backfire
00:46:44i'll need the duke to speak on my behalf
00:46:51beth my lady what do you need
00:46:57deliver this to duke isles's estate put it in his hands personally
00:47:16sorry for the poor hospitality please forgive me lady melris i can hardly believe it you've
00:47:22opened the northern supply route in such a short time you flatter me my lord none of this would be
00:47:28possible without general eric's trust and your support behind the scenes
00:47:33merris uncle the general isn't here yet he's dealing with urgent military matters
00:47:39he asked me to open the evening in his place a married woman acting like she's the lady of the
00:47:44house how does she have the nerve
00:47:49general the banquet has started aren't you going better to let it out here than lose control in front
00:48:01of everyone
00:48:01tonight 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 even if the emperor resists
00:48:10he'll have to let her take back what's hers general you've gone to great lengths for her
00:48:15she deserves it general eric is just so busy he insists on doing everything himself but
00:48:20he told me tonight's banquet nominally for celebration but actually actually what adele don't stop there
00:48:29actually it's for me is he going to propose oh don't say that but soon
00:48:36unlike some people can't even keep her own husband her inheritance is slipping away how pathetic
00:48:44same old lines no imagination cousin once the general and i are engaged do you really think
00:48:50you can keep hanging around him a married woman if that happens i'll congratulate you in another
00:48:55month my partnership with the general ends he'll be all yours what did you say
00:49:03say that again general you're finally here
00:49:13who invited her
00:49:21who invited her
00:49:24my cousin meant well she wrote to me herself asked me to come if i've upset the general i'll leave
00:49:33general you
00:49:39damn it he didn't even look at me
00:49:46why did you invite that woman
00:49:49you said i could arrange the guest list not her a liar
00:49:54the duke is the emperor's right hand i couldn't not invite him and he'd bring her
00:49:59so you sold me out to get your inheritance back yes if that's how you see it but do you
00:50:05really
00:50:05want the emperor to think you're a threat distrust you even turn against you then you lose everything
00:50:12just like me you're worried about me i'm not i just want to know how you'll help me get my
00:50:19inheritance back the two months are almost out melris why do you keep pushing me away
00:50:44general eric where did you go i've been looking everywhere for you
00:50:51go away from me
00:50:57eric my daughter is carrying your child is this how you treat her
00:51:18how much more humiliation must she endure
00:51:29impossible
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 we both know adele isn't the woman from that night
00:51:56but do you really want the truth to come out even if you could prove she's lying
00:52:02would you dare the emperor himself wouldn't desperate to be like that then go ahead let
00:52:07everyone know that maris a married woman committed adultery she won't get her inheritance back she'll
00:52:11be lucky to stay alive marry adele our houses unite the emperor would welcome it it's best for everyone

00:53:46the emperor himself will attend i must remember what we gave it
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

01:02:58We're family, think of your aunt
01:03:01Get out
01:03:03You're not worth the effort
01:03:07Look out
01:03:18It's over
01:03:19But you're up
01:03:22It's fine, it doesn't hurt
01:03:34Thank God
01:03:35You're alive
01:03:36You idiot
01:03:38Why do you always show up when I need you?
01:03:41You kept pushing me away
01:03:42But after I took you from Skat that night
01:03:46I knew it was you
01:03:49How?
01:03:50Because you're different
01:03:53I won the war in the north
01:03:56But my regiment, Crimson Raven, was wiped out
01:04:01Since that day, I've never really left that battlefield
01:04:09Everyone and everything
01:04:11Will rot in my eyes
01:04:15And they left
01:04:17You that night
01:04:26Of course, killing those prisoners helps too
01:04:29Revenge for my men
01:04:30The visions stopped for a while
01:04:33The rumors
01:04:33They said you'd kill for fun
01:04:35It's because of this
01:04:37They had my brother's blood on their hands
01:04:39They deserved to die
01:04:41I hid from you because I thought you were a monster
01:04:46Maybe I am
01:04:47But if I hadn't met you that night
01:04:48My world would be nothing but hell
01:04:58You've suffered enough
01:05:05My dear son-in-law
01:05:06The wedding is about to start
01:05:08And here you are hiding in a cellar
01:05:10With another man's wife
01:05:11How unbecoming
01:05:17Duke, is this your wedding party or a coup?
01:05:22What do you think, General?
01:05:25The Emperor himself is officiating
01:05:27Only you could draw him here
01:05:30Your target is the Emperor
01:05:31Two choices
01:05:33Put on the suit
01:05:34Marry my daughter
01:05:37I promise Lady Melris will live
01:05:40Or you both die here
01:05:42Fine
01:05:43But 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
01:05:57Cleanly
01:06:07Sorry, my lady
01:06:08Nothing personal
01:06:09You're just in the way
01:06:26Forgive me, my lady
01:06:27The general had me wait
01:06:28Outside the castle
01:06:29He guessed something like this might happen
01:06:36I won't kill you
01:06:39But at the wedding
01:06:40In 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
01:06:49After I'm dead
01:06:50Would 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
01:07:01I'll go ahead
01:07:01My lady, that's too dangerous
01:07:02If the general finds out
01:07:18These ceremonial guards are wearing battle armor
01:07:20The Duke's men
01:07:23Erik
01:07:23Are you unwell?
01:07:29Your majesty
01:07:30The general is merely tired
01:07:32Wedding nerves, perhaps
01:07:35Remember, Melis is still in my hands
01:07:38Ruin 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!
01:08:05Who is that?
01:08:06How dare they interrupt the wedding in front of his majesty?
01:08:16Sorry Lady Adele
01:08:17He's already taken
01:08:22Who are you?
01:08:24How dare you?
01:08:26Guards!
01:08:27Remove this woman!
01:08:30Impressive
01:08:31You've saved me enough times
01:08:33Let me save you for once
01:08:40Adele
01:08:40Erik 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
01:08:50And 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 from her
01:08:58Because my aunt had something on her
01:08:59That's how she fooled everyone
01:09:01Even the general
01:09:01Lies!
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?
01:09:15Gentlemen
01:09:17In front of his majesty and the court
01:09:19Tell us
01:09:20Who really fathered Lady Adele's child?
01:09:25It was me!
01:09:26No, him!
01:09:27Your majesty
01:09:27Spare 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
01:09:45Let's continue the celebration
01:09:47Since my daughter's wedding is off
01:09:48How 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
01:10:00The noble marriages
01:10:01The 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
01:10:11To control the general
01:10:12Take my time
01:10:13The plans change
01:10:15You think you can protect anyone?
01:10:33Lady Malice already won the imperial guard
01:10:36Your own men are on their way
01:10:57Your fight is with me
01:11:07Arrest them!
01:11:08Every last one of the traitors
01:11:10I should be the one standing beside him
01:11:16It's all because of you, Malice
01:11:21Die, bitch!
01:11:33Eric!
01:11:35Eric!
01:11:40The bride should have been me
01:11:50Eric!
01:11:51Eric!
01:11:55Eric!
01:11:56Eric!
01:11:56Eric!
01:11:56Eric!
01:11:56Eric!
01:11:57Eric!
01:11:59Eric!
01:12:00Eric!
01:12:01Eric!
01:12:02Eric!
01:12:03Eric!
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
01:12:35Is 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
01:12:41Malice
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
01:13:06As 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
01:14:03My child
01:14:04I'll raise him myself
01:14:07Then 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
01:14:21All right
01:14:22All right
01:14:23All right
01:14:27To befriend you
01:14:27I'm telling you
