00:00In honor of the Lord, bloodline awakened, heir to the throne, glory to the soulless land, a gift from Hecate
00:08and Melchizedek!
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... Did 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 in this realm that would take you in.
01:03I will leave then. I will go rogue before I die.
01:07You have no soul power yet.
01:10Until you do, you belong to this house. You belong to me.
01:18Come to my study once you have cleaned this up.
01:22You have no soul power yet.
01:24You have no soul power yet.
01:27You have no soul power yet.
01:28You have no soul power yet.
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.
02:14Clotha, Laxius, Hekma, if any of you are listening, please, tomorrow, give me my soul power when I turn eighteen.
02:23Set 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 Selenen.
02:51Every record.
02:53Every body.
02:55Body that was not found.
02:57Do it.
03:00Zara Salone's body was never found.
03:03I suspect she is not dead.
03:25You are a fast learner, my lady.
03:48Roan, 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 fifteen years.
04:31Have we ever let you go hungry?
04:33Cold?
04:35Without shelter?
04:37No.
04:39What are you trying to say?
04:43Are you jealous?
04:45Is that what this is?
04:47You wish you were the one I was fucking?
04:49You disgust me.
04:50What?
04:52I 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.
05:02My lord.
05:02Lord Theron Blackwell of House Blackwell has confirmed his attendance at tomorrow's feast.
05:10Theron Blackwell is coming here?
05:12I only sent that invitation out of courtesy.
05:14Why now? What does he want?
05:15My lord.
05:16I believe it signals respect.
05:18If Theron 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, you will prepare and serve the entire feast, beginning to end.
05:36Tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday.
05:38You promised me a day's rest.
05:40I changed my mind.
05:51You bought fuckin' and now the dirtyest.

17:31What did you just call me?
17:34Rowan, Isileth sent me to the wrong room. She did this deliberately.
17:50Zahra!
17:52What in the name of the gods?
17:55What do you think you are doing with my betrothed? You castless little witch!
18:03She came to seduce my betrothed. In his own room. Look at what she is wearing.
18:09You put me in this dress. You sent me to this room. You told me it was Lord Blackwell's...
18:15You lying.
18:16Do not touch her.
18:22If you lay another hand on her, I will make certain you regret it for the rest of your days.
18:36Blackwell, this is my castle. My house! You do not-
18:42She is with me now. Come.
18:53How is your face?
18:55It is fine. I am used to it.
18:58Why do you let them do that?
19:00In case you have not noticed, I am not exactly in a position of power here.
19:05So, this is the castless servant of House Greth, with an attitude.
19:11Thank you for what you did back there. You do not have to. I am leaving this house tonight.
19:15Release me.
19:17You are aware I am Lord of Shouse Blackweth, the more powerful house in Orvran.
19:22I am. Which is exactly why you would not want someone like me. No house, no bloodline.
19:29What is your name?
19:32Zara. Just Zara. I do not remember my house name. My parents died when I was small. House Greth took
19:39me in.
19:40You are with me now, Zara. You do not have to go anywhere tonight. Or at all.
19:56Happy Birthday.
20:00This is my castle. My territory. Step aside.
20:05Lord Blackwell has requested privacy. I cannot allow entry.
20:08You cannot allow. I am Lord of this house. I could have you removed from this castle entirely.
20:13The accord between houses expires soon, my lord. You would not want to offend Lord Blackwen over a servant.
20:19There is no way a lord like Theron Blackwell accepts someone like her. She has nothing. She is nothing.
20:26Zara is not nothing, my lord. She is Lord Blackwell's guest.
20:35Why do you care so much about her? She is irrelevant. She is nothing.
20:39I do not want to talk about it.
20:41I imagine she is doing everything she can to please Lord Blackwell right now. That shameless, castless wench.
20:47I said I do not want to talk about it.
20:53Zara.
20:55Did you just call me Zara?
20:59What? You are being paranoid.
21:01Paranoid. I am paranoid. I knew it. I have always known it. It was always about her. Always Zara.
21:10Did you ever even care about me? What am I to you? What have I ever been?
21:15You are right. He cannot have her.
21:18What? Are you serious right now? I am talking to you! Rowan! Do not you dare leave me here!
21:32Lord Rowan insists on seeing Zara. He says it is urgent.
21:37You do not have to go.
21:41I should. I want to end this properly.
21:50What do you want Rowan?
21:52You cannot go with Theron Blackneck. You do not even know him.
21:54Clotha decreed him for me.
21:57I am your decree.
21:59Zara.
22:00Do not leave.
22:02I know things between us have been...
22:03Things between us?
22:04There were no things between us, Rowan.
22:06For fifteen years you treated me like a servant.
22:09You watched Isolde abuse me and you said nothing.
22:11You kept Hekti's seal on me so I would never know who I was.
22:14And then you broke Clotha's thread.
22:16You rejected me, Rowan. Your words to the gods.
22:19I will marry Isolde. The betrothal is too far along to break.
22:23But I can move you somewhere safe.
22:25A house of your own. You would want for nothing.
22:27You do not have to go to Blackwick. You do not have to...
22:29What are you trying to say to me right now?
22:31Are you telling me you want me to be your kept secret?
22:33The other woman while you marry Isolde?
22:35I came to say goodbye Rowan. That is all this is.
22:40Zara. I have always loved you.
22:43What?
22:45I said I love you. Do you hear me?
22:47You cannot treat someone like nothing for fifty years and then tell them you love you.
22:51That is not love. Let me go!
22:53I told you I am willing to work something out.
22:55What more could you possibly want from me?
22:57This is how you show love? I do not want it. Let me go!
22:59Stop pretending. You think I do not know?
23:02You disobeyed me. Gave me that attitude every day to get my attention.
23:06You have it. Just stay and we can...
23:08I wanted your attention. I never wanted any of this. Let me go!
23:14We are leaving. Now.
23:17What about my things?
23:19I have everything you will ever need.
23:41You will have your own rooms at House Blackneck. Tomorrow I can arrange for whatever you need. Clothing, anything you
23:47want, we can send for.
23:49Is that a village?
23:50The market town of Veld. Three leagues from Greth territory.
23:55A market town?
23:59We will sort out the council inquiry tomorrow. Lord Cassian will want to move quickly once.
24:06Forgive me. What were you saying?
24:09I have never even seen anything beyond the castle walls.
24:14Call me Theron.
24:18Take the long road through Veld. We are not going home yet.
24:33Zara. This house, it knows us.
24:35Hectala and Neve have walked the same road since before mortals had names for either of them.
24:41This is a safe place.
24:43The shadows. They are moving.
24:48They are the nextborn. They guard this house. They will not harm you.
24:52They are alive?
24:53They are older than alive.
24:55They have been here since Nyx first made her covenant with my bloodline.
25:03They have never done that before.
25:05They recognize Hecate's gift.
25:07They are saying hello.
25:14I want the girl! Send her out!
25:17She is a guest of House Blacknickth.
25:19She leaves when she chooses.
25:21Open the gates, Zorin.
25:22Last time I ask.
25:24No.
25:37You brought Hollow Men to my house.
25:39You broke my gate.
25:41Think very carefully about what you do next.
25:44The girl is a servant of my house. She is not yours to keep.
25:48Give me the girl and I walk away.
25:50She is not a servant of your house.
25:52She never was.
25:54And I think you have always known that.
26:20What are you doing?
26:21What are you doing?
26:21What are you doing?
26:30Stand down.
26:34This isn't over, Blackweck.
26:37Send a raven next time.
26:39Like a lord.
26:41Rowan.
26:49I know about the attack on House Saluni.
26:51I know you sealed a three-year-old child and kept her hidden for fifty years.
26:54And I know Clotha with thread for her and you threw it away.
26:57Atrotus is watching you.
26:59You defied the Moraes, buried Hecate's bloodline and destroyed an entire house.
27:02The gods don't forget that. And neither do I.
27:05You read my ring without permission.
27:06That is a violation of the accord between houses.
27:16Do not go out there, Zara.
27:18Rowan's RS gift is not controlled when he is this angry.
27:22He would not mean to, but he could drain you through the seal fractures.
27:26The cracks make you vulnerable.
27:29I am not afraid of him.
27:30I know.
27:31But the seal is not fully broken yet.
27:34Until it is.
27:36Stay inside this house.
27:38The Nyxborn will not let him pass the gate.
27:41What happened at the gate?
27:42He backed down. For now.
27:44But he will move against you. Soon.
27:47Rowan does not accept losses.
27:49What does he want from me?
27:50He defied the decree himself. He sent me away. What is there left to take?
27:54He does not want you. He wants to make certain no one else has you. There is a difference.
27:57Your name is not just Zara. Your full name is Zara Solene.
28:01Daughter of Lord Cassiel Solene and Lady Neva Solene of House Solene.
28:06That is not possible.
28:09My parents died when I-
28:10They did not die.
28:13House Greth attacked House Solene 15 years ago.
28:16Your parents survived. You were taken in the chaos.
28:19Either by Greth soldiers or hidden here afterward.
28:22Your parents have been searching for you ever since.
28:25My parents are alive?
28:26Yes. I met with them two days ago.
28:29Your father sat across a desk from me and told me 15 years of searching.
28:33Your mother has not stopped looking since the night you disappeared.
28:36House Solene. Hector's covenant.
28:39Yes. Your bloodline carries Hector's gift.
28:42Soul sight. The ability to see the complete truth of any person. Rarest gift in Avarin.
28:46It is why the covenant seal was placed on you as a child.
28:48To keep Hector's gift buried. To keep you buried.
28:53Why are you doing this?
28:54I gave your father, Lord Cassian, my word.
28:56That is not what I mean.
28:57You came to that feast looking for something.
28:59You saw me and you spent the rest of the night trying to find out who I was why.
29:02The Shadehound tracks in my study led to House Greth territory.
29:04The Keris retreating when I arrived. The pieces were already there.
29:07That is still not what I mean.
29:10My gift responded to you at the gate before I knew who you were.
29:14That does not happen. Not to me.
29:16Lyra said clothed her weaves more than one kind of thread.
29:18Yes, she does.
29:40Lord Cassian. I said I would find her.
29:49You have her eyes.
29:52Your mother's eyes, exactly.
30:00I did not know you were alive. They told me. I thought...
30:03I know. I know what they told you.
30:05I prayed. For years I prayed.
30:08I did not know who I was praying to.
30:10I called her Hectith. I just prayed that someone was listening.
30:13Hector was listening. She always was.
30:16I never stopped looking for you.
30:18Not one day. Not one hour.
30:23I did not know you were alive.
30:27You were three years old.
30:30The night they came.
30:31House Greth attacked at the third bell of night.
30:33No warning. No declaration. Just Greth's soldiers at our walls.
30:38They knew exactly what they wanted.
30:40Hectarter's covenant had just passed to you at birth.
30:42House Solane with a newborn heir carrying the full force of soul sight that terrified them.
30:47You would have been the most powerful voice at any council table in Auron.
30:51So they took me instead of killing me.
30:54They put the covenant seal on you that same night.
30:56And they kept you where they could watch you and where the seal would never break.
31:00Surrounded by Rowan Zara's gift.
31:02Pressing the seal down every day simply by existing near you.
31:05Then Clotha's decree.
31:07Rowan was woven for me at birth.
31:10He knew if the thread appeared he could not hide who I was any longer.
31:13Which is why he defied it immediately.
31:16Better to pay the cost of defying the Moirai than to let you know who you were.
31:21He was afraid of me.
31:26His entire house has been afraid of you since the night you were born.
31:33The seal will fully break within days.
31:36Once Hectecta's gift is free in her.
31:38See through every lie in this realm.
31:40She will see what we did to her family.
31:43She will be able to prove it at council.
31:45Then we stop it before it breaks.
31:47The seal is too far gone.
31:48Rowan's suppression cannot close those fractures.
31:50Hector is driving them open from the divine side.
31:52There is only one thing that stops Hecta's gift once it starts.
31:55Voidban.
31:56Voidban severs the covenant permanently.
31:59Hecta's gift gone from her bloodline entirely.
32:01Gone.
32:02I know someone who can get it.
32:08Get it.
32:15How does it work?
32:16One touch to bare skin.
32:17The poison enters through contact.
32:19It reaches the covenant connection in the blood within one hour.
32:23After that, the gift is gone.
32:25The bloodline's covenant with Hecta dissolves permanently.
32:28As if the original bargain was never made.
32:30If I use it on her, what happens?
32:32She lives.
32:34She simply becomes ordinary.
32:49Good morning.
32:50Good morning.
32:51Good morning.
32:51This was always your room.
32:52We never changed it.
32:53The caveens.
32:55Good morning.
32:59Cool.
33:02Fantastic.
33:08Thanks for coming.
33:09person what they intend what they hide what they have done no lie survives it in its full form lyra
33:14says i can read an entire room simultaneously can you use it now not yet the seal is still there
33:20most of it lyra says when it fully breaks the gift will arrive all at once she says it will
33:24be
33:25overwhelming at first when it does you will be able to see the truth of everyone around you
33:31including me does that concern you no zara the warmth between you that is real
33:38cloth he wove it differently this time it will not collapse if defied it only grows not yet
33:44what nothing lyra talks a great deal
33:49rowan demands we surrender zara to house graith custody within three days or he declares into house
33:57conflict he cannot declare conflict against both our houses house selaine and house blackwell together
34:06outrank him at every council he does not need to win the conflict he only needs to create enough
34:11chaos that the other houses look away while he moves against zara directly
34:18he is not going to wait for the council he is going to move before the seal breaks lord cassian
34:23can you call the council formally openly before rowan moves first
34:33i can but if rowan has something that can stop the seal breaking before the council convenes
34:39do not let anyone you do not trust come near your wrist not until the seal is fully gone
34:58it's just the last two years ago house greth attacked house solani without declaration without
35:01cause and without consequence my door three years old was taken that same night a covenant seal placed
35:07on a child of Hecate's bloodline to
35:08suppress her divine gift. She was kept
35:10as a servant in House Greth for 15
35:12years. I am asking this council
35:14to answer for what was done. House Greth
35:16denies every accusation.
35:18The girl in question was an orphan found
35:20wandering near our territory. We took her
35:22in out of charity. The covenant seal
35:25was placed for her own protection.
35:26Her gift was unstable. Lord Cassian
35:29has no proof of anything he has claimed.
35:31Furthermore, this girl
35:32has no documented bloodline.
35:34No House Solian birth record
35:36survives the attack on their estate.
35:38Lord Cassian is asking the council to accept
35:41the word of a castless servant over the
35:42standing of House Greth.
35:45I have proof!
35:47When Ronan showed up to my house,
35:49I used my gift and read his ring. What I found
35:51wasn't pretty. 15 years of deliberate
35:53moves against House Solane. The attack,
35:55taking the child, locking
35:56Hectima's gift inside her with that seal.
35:59All of it. That ring has
36:01witnessed everything. He read my ring without
36:03permission. Article 7 of the Accord
36:05permits a reading of House Insignia when a missing
36:07heir is involved. That itself is a violation
36:09of the Accord. Everything he claims to have read is
36:11inadmissible. Zahra Solande is a missing
36:12heir. Her father sits at this table.
36:24Zahra, left side. Now!
36:33Zahra, fight it.
36:35Do not let it reach the Covenant.
36:37Do not.
36:48What did you give her?
36:51Nothing that was not necessary.
36:56Zahra?
36:58Zahra!
36:59Zahra!
37:00Hetyat is here!
37:01She is fighting it!
37:03Hold on!
37:05Hold on!
37:07Hold on!
37:28This is what you were born for, Zahra Solanea. Now let them see you.
37:36Welcome home.
38:01Welcome home.
38:27My name is Zahra Solanea.
38:29My house made a covenant with Hector at our founding. Her gift allows me to see the
38:33complete truth of any person in this room. Nothing hidden survives it. You accepted payment
38:38from House Grief six years ago in exchange for blocking House Solane's petition to this council. You told your household
38:45it was a trade agreement.
38:46I am not here to expose every secret in this room. I am here to confirm one thing. Everything Lord
38:53Blackwell told this council is true. I can see it in every person who was present at House Grief during
38:57the years they kept me. Every action. Every decision. Every order given.
39:03This council will not accept the testimony of a girl who just had a vow pressed to her wrist.
39:07She is clearly-
39:11Sit down.
39:12Sit down.
39:15Sit down.
39:17Sit down.
39:20Sit down.
39:21Sit down.
39:31Sit down.
39:32Sit down.
39:35Sit down.
39:36Sit down.
39:37Sit down.
39:38Sit down.
40:07It is over, Rowan.
40:15You went to a crossroads at night. You took something from Hades Domain.
40:19Don't. You pressed it against my wrist in front of this entire council and watched me go down.
40:26You tried to kill a divine gift, in neutral land, in front of eight houses sitting in the room, every
40:33lord hearing it clearly.
40:34I protected my house. What she would have done with that gift...
40:39I can see every lie you've ever told. Don't try another one.
40:42I move that House Crane be held responsible for the attempted use of Hades-sourced poison on a divine heir
40:47in neutral ground.
40:48Iselta Crane to be stripped of her house title and remanded to council custody pending full judgment.
40:52You cannot. I am the daughter of House Crane. My father will...
40:56Your father is not in this room.
40:58Rowan. Rowan, tell them. Tell them I did it for us. For the house. You told me to get it.
41:03You said, get it!
41:06You're not gonna say anything. Are you? I did everything for you. Every single thing. The room. The vial.
41:20Fifteen years of watching you look at her instead of me and I said nothing. I did everything you needed
41:25and you won't even...
41:26I loved you. That was real. Even if nothing else was.
41:44I want you to know something before you go. You spent fifteen years trying to stop this moment. And here
41:51we are anyway.
41:53What do you want, Zara? An apology? I want nothing from you. That is what I came to tell you.
41:58After everything you did, I feel nothing when I look at you.
42:05The council exiled him. He lost any powers he had.
42:17I do not know how to do this.
42:27Every single day.
42:29Every single day.
42:30I said your name every single day so I would not forget the sound of it.
42:34So it would still be ready when you came back.
42:40Welcome home, Zara.
42:53You found her.
42:55You brought her home.
42:57House Barnett has House Solina's gratitude for what you did and I mean that without reservation.
43:03I did not come today for gratitude.
43:05No.
43:06I did not think so.
43:07What are your intentions toward my daughter, Lord Blackwell?
43:10Honorable ones, I want the right to court her.
43:11Properly, openly, with your knowledge and consent. Nothing hidden, nothing rushed.
43:14She has been kept hidden and castless for fifteen years.
43:16She has just received her full divine gift and learned who she is.
43:19She is not a prize to be collected, Lord Blackwell, by anyone, including the man who helped find her.
43:23I know that. The decision is hers entirely. I am asking your permission to be considered, not your permission to
43:28decide for her.
43:29She already knows you came. She saw it in your face the moment you arrived.
43:33You, I am aware of that.
43:34Good. Then there is no point pretending this conversation is a secret.
43:46I spoke with your father.
43:48I know. I saw it in your face before you said a word.
43:50Is that going to be a permanent condition? Reading everything before anyone speaks?
43:54Yes.
43:56Good.
43:59In the Accord Hall, when you read me, what did you see?
44:03Everything you have done. Everything you intend. Everything you have been afraid to say out loud since the gate at
44:09House Greth.
44:10And?
44:11And nothing hidden. You are exactly what you appear to be. That is, rarer than you know.
44:16Do you see that?
44:20I see it.
44:22I told you. A decree of purpose. It only grows.
44:26So, what do we do with it?
44:29I have a few ideas.
44:30You are not as serious as you pretend to be.
44:33And you are not as unbothered as you pretend to be.
44:36I read you, you know. What am I supposed to do with it?
44:39I know.
44:42You were not afraid of that.
44:45I had nothing to hide.
44:54Lyra is going to be insufferable about this.
44:56I heard that.
44:57What?
44:58Come on. Your father is going to send someone to find us soon.
45:01Let him.
45:02Oh my gosh.
45:03I know.
45:03I know.
45:04I can't see it.
