00:00Daughter of the Lord, bloodline awakened, heir to the throne, glory to the soul and clan, a gift from Hekony
00:08Beltoner.
00:11Give me a red wine.
00:20The wine you asked for.
00:27You walk in here while he is clearly occupied?
00:31Are you blind or just stupid?
00:39Then Lord Rowan can pour his own wine.
00:42What did you just...
00:43Did you call him by his name?
00:45You address him as my lord, you disrespectful little twat!
00:53That is enough, Isolette.
00:56Know your place, Zahra.
00:58You have no house, no bloodline, nowhere you're in this realm that would take you in.
01:03I will leave then.
01:04I will go rogue before I die.
01:07You have no soul power yet.
01:10Until you do, you belong to this house.
01:13You belong to me.
01:18Come to my study once you have cleaned this up.
01:29Fifteen years with not a single confirmed trace of my daughter.
01:33What more do you need, Lord Blackwell?
01:36I hear you, Lord Cassian.
01:38But murder and abduction require proof.
01:41The other houses will not move against Greth without it.
01:44House Greth attacked House Solani fifteen years ago.
01:47My daughter vanished the same night.
01:49I know what happened to her.
01:52Her body was never found, Lord Blackwell.
01:54In fifteen years, no body.
01:57What does that tell you?
01:59Or do you just not want to hear it?
02:03You are the only one with the power and the standing to help us.
02:07You have to help me avenge my daughter.
02:15Clotha, Laxius, Hekma, if any of you are listening, please, tomorrow, give me my soul power when I turn eighteen.
02:24Set me free.
02:25We will live simply.
02:27In the woods if we have to.
02:28We will hunt for what we need.
02:30We will need nothing from anyone in this house ever again.
02:35I will attend Rowan Greth's feast tomorrow.
02:38Whatever is inside that castle, I will find it.
02:42You have my word.
02:46I will pull everything we have on the Gretheth, attack on House Selenon.
02:50Every record.
02:53Every body.
02:55Body that was not found.
02:57Do it.
03:00Zara Saloni's body was never found.
03:03I suspect she is not dead.
03:26You're a fast learner, my lady.
03:27You're a fast learner, my lady.
03:48Rowan, you asked to see me.
03:50What is she doing here?
03:52Was she watching us?
03:54You will address me as my lord.
04:03If you walk in here without knocking again, I will make sure you cannot walk at all.
04:10Isolid, leave us.
04:13Excuse me?
04:14I said, leave us.
04:25How long have you lived here at House Greth?
04:28Almost 15 years.
04:30Have we ever let you go hungry?
04:33Cold?
04:35Without shelter?
04:37No.
04:38What are you trying to say?
04:43Are you jealous?
04:44Is that what this is?
04:47You wish you were the one I was fucking?
04:49You disgust me.
04:50What?
04:51I am not jealous.
04:53I am disgusted.
04:55And you are not my lord.
04:57The only L word that fits you is low life.
05:01My lord.
05:02Lord Theron Blackwell of House Blackwell has confirmed his attendance at tomorrow's feast.
05:10Terran Blackwell is coming here?
05:12I only sent that invitation out of courtesy.
05:14Why now?
05:14What does he want?
05:15My lord.
05:16I believe it signals respect.
05:17If Terran attends, the other houses will follow.
05:20It confirms our standing.
05:21You think so?
05:22He must know House Greth is the second house in the realm.
05:24He is acknowledging the threat.
05:29Since you find this so amusing,
05:31you will prepare and serve the entire feast,
05:34beginning to end.
05:36Tomorrow is my 18th birthday.
05:38You promised me a day's rest.
05:40I changed my mind.
05:51Does Zada know
05:52the cloth I wove her to you?
05:56Do not ever mention again.
06:02I...
06:03Forgive me, my lord.
06:04It...
06:05It only seemed as though you two were...
06:10We are nothing.
06:12She is a servant.
06:14An orphan.
06:15I do not know why the Moray goddesses chose her for me,
06:18and I do not care.
06:20I will not accept it.
06:23What do you plan to do with her?
06:25Once she turns 18 tomorrow,
06:27her soul power will awaken.
06:29She will feel the faded between us the moment it does.
06:31I will sever it publicly,
06:33in front of the entire feast.
06:34Severing a threat decreed by the Morayas
06:36is not a simple act, my lord.
06:38Clothra herself spun it with her.
06:39I do not care.
06:40You are dismissed.
06:48Damn it, Zara.
06:50A worthy gift for Lord Rowan Greth
06:52before tomorrow's feast.
06:53A gift?
06:54For Rowan Greth?
06:55Why would you...
06:56We keep our friends close,
06:57and our enemies closer.
06:59Yes, my lord.
07:00Daughters of allied houses,
07:01each one a strong political match.
07:04If you arrive at the feast
07:05with one of them on your arm,
07:06it sends a message.
07:08House Blackhead,
07:09building alliances,
07:10not just the family.
07:12I will not be bringing a companion.
07:14My lord,
07:14if House Greth discovers
07:16you are still unwavered at your age,
07:17they will question your stand,
07:18and they will use it against you at the feast.
07:20Let them.
07:20I am Theron Blackway.
07:25Let's hope she is there,
07:27whoever she is.
07:36My lord.
07:36Those burns,
07:37are those...
07:38Jade Hogg?
07:39Yes.
07:39Inside the estate.
07:41How did it get past the...
07:43It was tracking something.
07:44A soul whose suppression is breaking.
07:47Something it could smell from a long distance.
07:54The trail leads toward House Greth territory.
07:57Lord Cassian's daughter.
07:59Have the carriage ready at dawn.
08:00Sauron,
08:01Sauron,
08:02tell no one about the burns.
08:19Happy birthday to me.
08:21Happy birthday, Zara.
08:24Who is there?
08:26Who is there?
08:26It is me.
08:27Lara.
08:28I am your divine gift, Zara.
08:30Hecate's gift.
08:31The one they sealed away when you were a child.
08:34I have been here the entire time.
08:36They simply would not let me speak.
08:38Hecate's gift.
08:40You are Hecate's gift.
08:41It is very good to finally meet you.
08:43And there is something I need to tell you.
08:45About the one the Moiri decried for us.
08:47The one Clothra wove into your thread at birth.
08:49Clothra wove a thread for me?
08:50Yes.
08:51The one she decreed for us.
08:52He is here.
08:53He has always been here.
08:55In this castle.
08:57Who?
08:57Rowan Greth,
08:58Lord of this house.
09:00Clothra wove you for him at birth.
09:02He has known since before you did.
09:26He is coming.
09:27I can feel him approaching.
09:29Zara, when you see the thread, do not let it show on your face.
09:48So, Hector finally broke the seal.
09:51You knew.
09:53This whole time you knew what Clothra decreed and you said nothing.
09:57So what?
09:57You are a servant.
09:59A casteless orphan.
10:00You have no house, no bloodline, nothing.
10:03What Clothra decreed does not change what you are.
10:07I defy the decree, Zara.
10:21If you beg, perhaps I will reconsider.
10:26I accept your defiance, Rowan.
10:30What?
10:34The thread is gone.
10:36So are we.
10:37Clothra does not weave a second thread for the same person.
10:40You will live and die casteless.
10:42So be it.
10:43Pack what you have tonight.
10:45After today, I do not want to see you in this castle again.
10:47I have been waiting years for you to say that, Rowan.
10:54You are allowed to feel it, Zara.
10:56What he did this morning.
10:59I just need to get through this feast.
11:04There is someone coming tonight.
11:05I can feel a presence in the road.
11:08Something old.
11:09Something that knows Hector's gift from a distance.
11:11Everything can wait until after the feast.
11:20The carers were in this tree line last night.
11:23How close?
11:24Close enough to leave tribute at the window.
11:27Someone inside that castle has been paying them to stay back.
11:30Paying the carers to stay back from whom?
11:40Hector's bloodline.
11:43An inside house Gryth.
12:07Lord Blackwit.
12:08What a pleasure.
12:09I hope the road treated you well.
12:10Our castle sits deep in the forest.
12:12Not the easiest journey.
12:13Lord Rowan built House Gryth Castle from the foundations up.
12:17It is everything a great house should be.
12:19Hmm.
12:20A gift from House Blackwit, Lord Gryth.
12:23In honor of tomorrow's betrothal.
12:26Lord Blackwit, this is far too generous.
12:29We could not possibly...
12:31Pocket change.
12:32Shall we?
12:36What do you think you are doing?
12:38Do not embarrass me.
12:42I saw a servant girl at the rest-use pile.
12:46Find out who she is.
12:48How she came from.
12:49How long she has been here.
12:51Everything.
12:52And the carers were paying her the kind of attention they paid...
12:54No, Sauron.
12:55Find out who she is.
12:56Tonight.
12:57Before the feast ends.
13:05Lord Blackwit.
13:06I have always admired what House Blackwit has built in the Northern Territory.
13:10The estate, the trade routes.
13:12I feel we share very similar tastes in what a great house should be.
13:15Isoleth.
13:16Zara.
13:17Wine.
13:19We have an important guest.
13:21Lord Blackwell of House Blackwell.
13:24Show some respect.
13:26What are you waiting for?
13:28We have an important guest.
13:29This is Lord Theron Blackwell of House Blackwell.
13:32Show some respect.
13:34I need to step out a moment, my lord.
13:42Excuse me.
13:43Where are you going with that?
13:46I am trying to wash.
13:48Wash?
13:49You call that washing?
13:51Can you just leave me alone?
13:53Please.
13:54I am not even supposed to be talking to you.
13:56I just want to know your name.
13:59Please.
14:00It's my 18th birthday today.
14:01Just do not make this worse.
14:07It is her birthday.
14:09Lord Blackliffe is going to want to know that.
14:12I noticed you came alone, Lord Blackwell.
14:15No companion for the feast.
14:17Is there no one who has caught your interest?
14:19I hear House Blackwell has no shortage of fine houses seeking alliance.
14:24There is someone.
14:26Is that so?
14:29Well, we have some of the finest bloodlines in the realm here tonight.
14:34Lady Meryn of House Vale.
14:36Strong covenant line.
14:38Excellent standing.
14:39Lady Meryn, Lord Blackwet of House Blackwet.
14:42She has good bloodline.
14:44And, well...
14:46If Lady Meryn is not to your pace, take your pick of any house here tonight.
14:50This is the finest gathering in the realm this season.
14:53There is someone, actually.
14:55Oh?
14:56Who is the lucky lady?
14:57That servant girl.
14:59From earlier.
15:00The one who poured the wine.
15:04You cannot be serious, Lord Blackwell.
15:07She is a costless servant with no house name.
15:11Whatever interest you have.
15:14Surely one of the noble daughters here tonight would serve you far better.
15:17I am not interested in the noble daughters.
15:20She does not even bathe properly.
15:22She has no access to moods a lot.
15:24Is that something she chooses?
15:26Or something she is not permitted?
15:31Send her to my guest room.
15:33I would like to speak with her.
15:36That is not going to...
15:39Of course.
15:41We will send her up.
15:56Well, it seems you have admirers.
15:59Lord Blackwell has requested your company in his guest room this evening.
16:05For some reason, Lord Blackwell wants you for the evening.
16:08No idea why.
16:11What are you talking about?
16:15Please do not wear that.
16:18Consider it a parting gift.
16:20I heard Rowan sent you away.
16:23Finally.
16:25Lord Blackmoth's guest room.
16:27To the right at the end of the upper corridor.
16:28Do not disappoint him.
16:30I am not going.
16:31Why not?
16:32Does he not interest you?
16:33I do not know him.
16:34And Clothie does not weave second threads.
16:36You said so yourself.
16:37Clothie does not weave the same thread twice.
16:40But she weaves more than one kind.
16:42Go and see for yourself.
16:44And Zara.
16:46Please.
16:47Change your dress.
16:58I don't know.
17:23Theola, Lord Blackwet.
17:26What did you just call me?
17:29Rowan!
17:30Isoleth sent me to the wrong room.
17:32She did this deliberately.
17:44Zara!
17:47What in the name of the gods?
17:50What do you think you are doing with my betrothed?
17:52You castless little witch!
17:58She came to seduce my betrothed.
18:00In his own room.
18:02Look at what she is wearing.
18:04You put me in this dress.
18:06You sent me to this room.
18:08You told me it was Lord Blackwell's...
18:10You lying.
18:11Do not touch her.
18:17If you lay another hand on her, I will make certain you regret it for the rest of your days.
18:32Blackwell, this is my castle.
18:34My house!
18:35You do not...
18:37She is with me now.
18:38Come.
18:48How is your face?
18:50It is fine.
18:51I am used to it.
18:53Why do you let them do that?
18:55In case you have not noticed.
18:56I am not exactly in a position of power here.
19:00So...
19:00This is the castless servant of House Greth, with an attitude.
19:05Thank you for what you did back there.
19:07You do not have to.
19:09I am leaving this house tonight.
19:10Release me.
19:11You are aware I am Lord of Shouse Blackwell, the more powerful house in Orvran.
19:17I am.
19:18Which is exactly why you would not want someone like me.
19:22No house, no bloodline.
19:24What is your name?
19:26Zara.
19:27Just Zara.
19:29I do not remember my house name.
19:31My parents died when I was small.
19:33House Greth took me in.
19:35You are with me now, Zara.
19:36You do not have to go anywhere tonight.
19:39Or at all.
19:51Happy birthday.
19:55This is my castle.
19:57My territory.
19:59Step aside.
20:00Lord Blackwell has requested privacy.
20:02I cannot allow entry.
20:03You cannot allow.
20:04I am Lord of this house.
20:05I could have you removed from this castle entirely.
20:08The accord between houses expires soon, my lord.
20:11You would not want to offend Lord Blackwen over a servant.
20:14There is no way a lord like Theron Blackwell accepts someone like her.
20:18She has nothing.
20:20She is nothing.
20:21Zara is not nothing, my lord.
20:23She is Lord Blackwell's guest.
20:30Why do you care so much about her?
20:32She is irrelevant.
20:33She is nothing.
20:34I do not want to talk about it.
20:36I imagine she is doing everything she can to please Lord Blackwell right now.
20:40That shameless, castless wench.
20:42I said I do not want to talk about it.
20:48Zara.
20:50Did you just call me Zara?
20:54What?
20:54You are being paranoid.
20:56Paranoid.
20:57I am paranoid.
20:58I knew it.
20:59I have always known it.
21:01It was always about her.
21:03Always Zara.
21:05Did you ever even care about me?
21:07What am I to you?
21:08What have I ever been?
21:10You are right.
21:11He cannot have her.
21:13What?
21:14Are you serious right now?
21:16I am talking to you!
21:18Rowan!
21:19Do not you dare leave me here!
21:27Lord Rowan insists on seeing Zara.
21:29He says it is urgent.
21:32You do not have to go.
21:36I should.
21:37I want to end this properly.
21:45What do you want, Rowan?
21:47You cannot go with Theron Blackneck.
21:48You do not even know him.
21:50Clotha decreed him for me.
21:52I am your decree.
21:54Zara, do not leave.
21:56I know things between us have been...
21:58Things between us?
21:59There were no things between us, Rowan.
22:01For fifteen years you treated me like a servant.
22:04You watched Isolde abuse me and you said nothing.
22:06You kept Hekti's seal on me so I would never know who I was.
22:09And then you broke Clotha's thread.
22:11You rejected me, Rowan.
22:13Your words to the gods.
22:14I will marry Isolde.
22:15The betrothal is too far along to break.
22:18But I can move you somewhere safe.
22:20A house of your own.
22:21You would want for nothing.
22:22You do not have to go to Blackwick.
22:23You do not have to...
22:24What are you trying to say to me right now?
22:25Are you telling me you want me to be your kept secret?
22:28The other woman while you marry Isolde?
22:30I came to say goodbye, Rowan.
22:32That is all this is.
22:35Zara, I have always loved you.
22:38What?
22:40I said I love you.
22:41Do you hear me?
22:42You cannot treat someone like nothing for fifty years and then tell them you love you.
22:46That is not love.
22:47Let me go!
22:48I told you I am willing to work something out.
22:50What more could you possibly want from me?
22:52This is how you show love?
22:53I do not want it.
22:54Let me go!
22:54Stop pretending.
22:56You think I do not know?
22:57You disobeyed me.
22:58Gave me that attitude every day to get my attention.
23:01You have it.
23:02Just stay and we can...
23:03I never wanted your attention.
23:04I never wanted any of this.
23:05Let me go!
23:09We are leaving.
23:10Now.
23:12What about my things?
23:14I have everything you will ever need.
23:35You will have your own rooms at House Blackneck.
23:39Tomorrow I can arrange for whatever you need.
23:41Clothing, anything you want, we can send for.
23:44Is that a village?
23:45The market town of Veld.
23:47Three leagues from Greth territory.
23:50A market town?
23:54We will sort out the council inquiry tomorrow.
23:57Lord Cassian will want to move quickly once.
24:01Forgive me.
24:02What were you saying?
24:04I have never even seen anything beyond the castle walls.
24:09Call me Theron.
24:13Take the long road through Veld.
24:15We are not going home yet.
24:28Zara.
24:29This house.
24:29It knows us.
24:30Hectala and Niamh have walked the same road since before mortals had names for either of them.
24:36This is a safe place.
24:38The shadows.
24:40They are moving.
24:42They are the nextborn.
24:44They guard this house.
24:45They will not harm you.
24:47They are alive?
24:48They are older than alive.
24:50They have been here since Nyx first made her covenant with my bloodline.
24:58They have never done that before.
25:00They recognize Hecate's gift.
25:02They are saying hello.
25:09They are the nextborn.
25:10I want the girl.
25:11Send her out.
25:12She is a guest of House Blacknick.
25:14She leaves when she chooses.
25:16Open the gate, Sorin.
25:18Last time I ask.
25:19No.

27:55daughter of lord cassiel solene and lady neva solene of house solene that is not possible
28:04my parents died when they did not die
28:08house greth attacked house solena 15 years ago your parents survived you were taken in the chaos
28:14either by greth soldiers or hidden here afterward your parents have been searching for you ever
28:19since my parents are alive yes i met with them two days ago your father sat across a desk from
28:25me
28:25and told me 15 years of searching your mother has not stopped looking since the night you disappeared
28:30absolutely hector's covenant
28:33yes your bloodline carries hector's gift
28:37soul sight the ability to see the complete truth of any person rarest gift in avrin
28:40it is why the covenant seal was placed on you as a child
28:43to keep hector's gift buried to keep you buried
28:47why are you doing this i gave your father lord cassian my word
28:51that is not what i mean you came to that feast looking for something you saw me and you spent
28:55the
28:55rest of the night trying to find out who i was why the shade hound tracks in my study led
28:58to house
28:58greth territory the caris retreating when i arrived the pieces were already there that is still not what
29:03i mean my gift responded to you at the gate before i knew who you were that does not happen
29:10not to me lyra said clothed are weaves more than one kind of thread
29:13yes she does
29:35lord cassian
29:37i said i would find her
29:44you have her eyes
29:47your mother's eyes exactly
29:55i did not know you were alive they told me i thought
29:58i know what they told you
30:00i prayed
30:01for years i prayed i did not know who i was praying to
30:05i called her hecteth i just prayed that someone was listening
30:08hector was listening
30:10she always was
30:11i never stopped looking for you
30:13not one day
30:15not one hour
30:22you were three years old
30:25the night they came
30:26house greth attacked at the third bell of night
30:28no warning no declaration just greth soldiers at our walls
30:32they knew exactly what they wanted
30:35hectarta's covenant had just passed to you at birth
30:37house solane with a newborn heir carrying the full force of soul sight that terrified them
30:42you would have been the most powerful voice at any council table in oran
30:45so they took me instead of killing me
30:48they put the covenant seal on you that same night and they kept you where they could watch you and
30:53where the seal would never break
30:54surrounded by roan zara's gift
30:57pressing the seal down every day simply by existing near you
31:00and clothis decree
31:02roan was woven for me at birth
31:05he knew if the thread appeared he could not hide who i was any longer
31:08which is why he defied it immediately
31:11better to pay the cost of defying the moirai than to let you know who you were
31:16he was afraid of me
31:21his entire house has been afraid of you since the night you were born
31:28the seal will fully break within days
31:30once hectecta's gift is free in her
31:33see through every lie in this realm
31:35she will see what we did to her family
31:38she will be able to prove it at council
31:40then we stop it before it breaks
31:42the seal is too far gone roan's suppression cannot close those fractures
31:45hector is driving them open from the divine side
31:47there is only one thing that stops hector's gift once it starts
31:50void ban
31:51void ban severs the covenant permanently
31:54hector's gift gone from her bloodline entirely
31:56gone
31:57i know someone who can get it
32:03get it
32:09how does it work
32:11one touch to bare skin
32:12the poison enters through contact
32:14it reaches the covenant connection in the blood within one hour
32:17after that
32:18the gift is gone
32:20the bloodline's covenant with hector dissolves permanently
32:22as if the original bargain was never made
32:25if i use it on her what happens
32:27she lives
32:28she simply becomes ordinary
32:43good morning
32:44good morning
32:45this was always your room
32:47we never changed it
32:57tell me what lyra says your gift does
32:58in full
32:59soul sight
33:01hector's gift
33:01i can see the complete truth of any person
33:04what they intend
33:05what they hide
33:06what they have done
33:06no lie survives it
33:08in its full form
33:09lyra says i can read an entire room simultaneously
33:11can you use it now
33:13not yet
33:13the seal is still there
33:15most of it
33:15lyra says when it fully breaks
33:17the gift will arrive all at once
33:19she says it will be overwhelming
33:20at first
33:22when it does
33:22you will be able to see the truth of everyone around you
33:25including me
33:26does that concern you
33:28no
33:30zara
33:30the warmth between you
33:32that is real
33:33clothie wove it differently this time
33:35it will not collapse if defied
33:37it only grows
33:38not yet
33:39what
33:39nothing
33:40lyra talks a great deal
33:44rowan demands we surrender zara to house graith
33:47custody within three days
33:50or he declares interhouse conflict
33:56he cannot declare conflict against both our houses
33:58house selaine and house blackwell together outrank him at every council
34:02he does not need to win the conflict
34:04he only needs to create enough chaos that the other houses look away while he moves against
34:09zara directly
34:12he is not going to wait for the council
34:14he is going to move before the seal breaks
34:16lord cassian
34:18can you call the council
34:21formally
34:21openly
34:23before rowan moves first
34:28i can
34:29but if rowan has something that can stop the seal breaking before the council convenes
34:34do not let anyone you do not trust come near your wrist
34:37not until the seal is fully gone
34:53fifteen years ago house greth attacked house solani without declaration without cause and without consequence
34:57my door three years old was taken that same night
35:00a covenant seal placed on a child of hecate's bloodline to suppress her divine gift
35:05she was kept as a servant in house greth for fifteen years
35:08i am asking this council to answer for what was done
35:11house greth denies every accusation
35:13the girl in question was an orphan found wandering near our territory
35:16we took her in out of charity
35:18the covenant seal was placed for her own protection
35:21her gift was unstable
35:22lord cassian has no proof of anything he has claimed
35:25furthermore
35:26this girl has no documented bloodline
35:29no house solian birth record survives the attack on their estate
35:33lord cassian is asking the council to accept the word of a castless servant over the standing of house greth
35:39i have proof
35:42when ronan showed up to my house i used my gift and read his ring
35:45what i found wasn't pretty
35:46fifteen years of deliberate moves against house solane
35:49the attack
35:50taking the child
35:51locking hectima's gift inside her with that seal
35:53all of it
35:55that ring has witnessed everything
35:56he read my ring without permission
35:58article seven of the accord permits a reading of house insignia when a missing heir is involved
36:02that itself is a violation of the accord
36:04everything he claims to have read is inadmissible
36:06zara solande is a missing heir
36:08her father sits at this table
36:19zara
36:20left side
36:21now
36:28zara
36:28fight it
36:29do not let it reach the covenant
36:31do not
36:43what did you give her
36:46nothing that was not necessary
36:51zara
36:53zara
36:54zara
36:55hectias is here
36:56she is fighting it
36:58hold on
37:22this is what you were born for zara solenia
37:27now let them see you
37:29this is what you were born for zara solenia
37:29welcome home
37:32welcome home
37:34welcome home
37:36I don't know.
38:22My name is Zara Soleen.
38:24My house made a covenant with Hector at our founding.
38:27Her gift allows me to see the complete truth of any person in this room.
38:31Nothing hidden survives it.
38:32You accepted payment from House Greeth six years ago.
38:35In exchange for blocking House Zalane's petition to this council,
38:39you told your household it was a trade agreement.
38:42I am not here to expose every secret in this room.
38:44I am here to confirm one thing.
38:47Everything Lord Blackwell told this council is true.
38:49I can see it in every person who was present at House Greeth during the years they kept me.
38:53Every action, every decision, every order given.
38:58This council will not accept the testimony of a girl who just had a vow pressed to her wrist.
39:02She's clearly...
39:06Sit down.
39:14Rowan, you lost.
39:16Accept the judgment of the council for the mistakes you have made.
39:24You're done, Rowan.
39:26Look around you.
39:27I'm not done until I say I'm done.
39:31I'm done.
40:02It is over, Rowan.
40:09You went to a crossroads at night.
40:12You took something from Hades Domain.
40:13Don't.
40:15You pressed it against my wrist in front of this entire council and watched me go down.
40:21You tried to kill a divine gift in neutral land in front of eight houses sitting in the room.
40:28Every Lord hearing it clearly.
40:29I protected my house.
40:32What she would have done with that gift, I can see every lie you've ever told.
40:36Don't try another one.
40:37I move that House Crane be held responsible for the attempted use of Hades-sourced poison on a divine heir
40:41in neutral ground.
40:43Isalte Crane to be stripped of her house title and remanded to council custody pending full judgment.
40:47You cannot.
40:48I am the daughter of House Crane.
40:50My father will...
40:51Your father is not in this room.
40:52Rowan.
40:53Rowan, tell them.
40:54Tell them I did it for us.
40:56For the house.
40:57You told me to get it.
40:58You said, get it!
41:01You're not going to say anything.
41:04Are you?
41:06I did everything for you.
41:08Every single thing.
41:10The room.
41:12The vial.
41:15Fifteen years of watching you look at her instead of me and I said nothing.
41:18I did everything you needed and you won't even...
41:21I loved you.
41:23That was real.
41:24Even if nothing else was.
41:39I want you to know something before you go.
41:42You spent fifteen years trying to stop this moment.
41:46And here we are anyway.
41:48What do you want, Zahra?
41:49An apology?
41:50I want nothing from you.
41:51That is what I came to tell you.
41:53After everything you did, I feel nothing when I look at you.
42:00The council exiled him.
42:02He lost any powers he had.
42:12I do not know how to do this.
42:14I do not know how to do this.
42:22Every single day.
42:24I said your name every single day so I would not forget the sound of it.
42:29So it would still be ready when you came back.
42:35Welcome home, Zahra.
42:48You found her.
42:50You brought her home.
42:52House Barnett has House Solina's gratitude for what you did and I mean that without reservation.
42:58I did not come today for gratitude.
43:00No.
43:01I did not think so.
43:02What are your intentions toward my daughter, Lord Blackwell?
43:05Honorable ones, I want the right to court her.
43:06Properly, openly, with your knowledge and consent.
43:08Nothing hidden, nothing rushed.
43:09She has been kept hidden and castless for 15 years.
43:11She has just received her full divine gift and learned who she is.
43:14She is not a prize to be collected, Lord Blackwell, by anyone, including the man who helped find her.
43:18I know that.
43:19The decision is hers entirely.
43:20I am asking your permission to be considered, not your permission to decide for her.
43:24She already knows you came.
43:26She saw it in your face the moment you arrived.
43:28I am aware of that.
43:29Good.
43:29Then there is no point pretending this conversation is a secret.
43:41I spoke with your father.
43:42I know.
43:43I saw it in your face before you said a word.
43:45Is that going to be a permanent condition?
43:47Reading everything before anyone speaks?
43:49Yes.
43:51Good.
43:54In the Accord Hall, when you read me, what did you see?
43:58Everything you have done.
43:59Everything you intend.
44:01Everything you have been afraid to say out loud since the gate at House Greth.
44:05And?
44:05And nothing hidden.
44:07You are exactly what you appear to be, that is.
44:10Rarer than you know.
44:11Do you see that?
44:15I see it.
44:17I told you.
44:18A decree of purpose.
44:20It only grows.
44:22So, what do we do with it?
44:24I have a few ideas.
44:26You are not as serious as you pretend to be.
44:28And you are not as unbothered as you pretend to be.
44:31I read you, you know.
44:33What am I supposed to do with it?
44:34I know.
44:37You are not afraid of that.
44:40I had nothing to hide.
44:49Lyra is going to be insufferable about this.
44:51I heard that.
44:53Come on.
44:54Your father is going to send someone to find us soon.
44:56Let him.
44:57I will tell you that.
44:57You are not you We are not.
44:57I know you are going to find us.
44:59I know you're not.
45:00You are not.
