00:00Tomorrow I was supposed to marry Lucian Vale.
00:03Spent the whole night making him a wedding garment.
00:07Tomorrow you marry her.
00:10Tomorrow isn't tonight.
00:11I thought I was walking into the life we promised each other.
00:15But the house was already hiding a different truth.
00:19I came to give him a symbol of our marriage.
00:23And after tomorrow?
00:25His silence said more than any promise he ever made me.
00:28I was outside the door, still believing I was loved.
00:37Instead, I found him holding another woman.
00:41You're early.
00:43Rose, you shouldn't be here.
00:47We marry tomorrow.
00:49Then you should have knocked tonight.
00:51As I stepped back, I accidentally knocked over the waist,
00:55and a small box fell out from behind it.
00:57Inside was a hidden letter.
01:00The letter said,
01:01Watch the Blackwood air.
01:02If the old tide stirs, report at once.
01:07What is this?
01:10Rose, no!
01:12Don't give it to me.
01:14Lucian, get it back.
01:17Rose, give it to me.
01:18Stop her before she reaches the house.
01:21Rose, stop!
01:24That was when I realized I was never just his bride.
01:27I was his assignment.
01:30That was the moment my heartbreak turned into fear.
01:34I thought I had found a way out.
01:36Rosalie, this way.
01:43Rose, give it to me.
01:45Lucian, get it back.
01:47Stop her before she reaches the house.
01:50Rose, stop!
01:53The rain swallowed my footsteps, but not my blood.
01:56Every drop pulled the old tide closer.
02:00Rosalie, this way.
02:04Rose, stop!
02:05That was when I stopped running from him.
02:08Stop!
02:09I started following the truth.
02:11Then the house gave me another message.
02:14The envelope said,
02:15From the Wells family.
02:16Open only if the house wakes.
02:19The door looked like it had been waiting longer than I had been alive.
02:23Don't touch that door.
02:27Why?
02:30What happens if I do?
02:31His silence and the fear in his eyes were already giving me the answer.
02:36When my blood touched the door, it did not reject me.
02:39It opened.
02:40The door pulled me somewhere I was never meant to see.
02:44I looked down and finally read the words written in the letter I had just found.
02:49If the last Blackwood dies, the ledger seals itself for a hundred years.
02:55I finally understood what they were after.
02:58Then the water moved.
02:59And the voice behind the door finally had a face.
03:03What are you?
03:07Beneath the House of Tides, the air felt older than the sea.
03:11I thought I had found a hiding place.
03:14Then I saw the chains.
03:15Whatever lived in that water had not been trapped by accident.
03:19He looked dangerous.
03:21What are you?
03:23Not a mermaid.
03:25You said my name.
03:28How?
03:31I didn't know your face.
03:33The House knew your blood.
03:35That doesn't make me feel better.
03:37Blackwood blood doesn't knock.
03:39It commands.
03:40A drop of blood slipped from my wounded hand and landed on the sigil.
03:45Every mark in that prison was working around me.
03:49I wanted answers.
03:51I didn't do that.
03:53Your blood woke the lock.
03:55The prison did not open.
03:57It tightened.
03:57So what happens now?
04:01Now they know you found me.
04:07Lucian.
04:09And whoever holds his leash.
04:15Run.
04:16But then I saw the crest.
04:18My family's seal was carved into his prison.
04:22That meant if I wanted the truth about my family.
04:25Why is my family crest on your chains?
04:28He was a clue I could not ignore.
04:34The prison was collapsing but I still could not leave.
04:38Not after seeing my family's seal on his chains.
04:41Answer me.
04:43Why is my family's seal on your prison?
04:46Your family sealed the door.
04:49Someone else made it a cage.
04:51Who?
04:53Start with the people who kept the key.
04:56Then I realized something.
04:58If I walked away now,
05:00I would leave with nothing.
05:04Go.
05:05They need you alive.
05:06That makes them more dangerous.
05:08No answers.
05:10No truth.
05:12No way to fight back.
05:14So I decided to take him with me.
05:18Don't.
05:24The prison was collapsing faster with every second.
05:28If you know what happened to my family, you're coming with me.
05:31You don't know what I am.
05:33I know what they did to me.
05:42When the passage broke open, he moved before I could fall.
05:46The prison fell behind us.
05:49But escaping the cage did not mean escaping the hunt.
05:52They'll come for you alive.
05:56Then I'll stay alive long enough to ruin them.
06:02We made it back before dawn, but we were not safe yet.
06:07They can track your blood.
06:09Not every door that knows it.
06:11Then I saw the light in the old study.
06:13Someone's inside.
06:15Someone had entered my house before I did.
06:19How did you get in?
06:23I wasn't waiting for you.
06:25I was waiting for the house to wake.
06:28His name was Ethan Wells.
06:32Your father built a warning into the old tidemarks.
06:36Last night, it lit up.
06:38The document he brought carried Lucian's public declaration.
06:41So I brought what he left.
06:43If I failed to appear tomorrow, the ceremony would still be recognized as complete.
06:48This isn't a wedding.
06:51No.
06:52It's a claim.
06:53On your house.
06:55Your blood.
06:56The House of Tides.
06:58And if you refuse, they can force the Black Reef right.
07:01The Reef always collects.
07:02What do you want?
07:03From the beginning, it was a legal way to take what belonged to my family.
07:08I want them to hear me say no.
07:09I wanted every witness there to know I was not his property.
07:14Good.
07:14Stand beside me.
07:15Say the words.
07:17You don't want me safe.
07:18You want me quiet.
07:20Everyone is watching.
07:25Good.
07:26Do you accept the Tidebond?
07:30No.
07:32I refuse.
07:35Refusal begins the rite.
07:37Only blood completes it.
07:40If blood was the price of no, then I would pay it myself.
07:43Then walk.
07:47The court is not merciful.
07:50It is procedural.
07:52Roazalee Blackwood must cross the Reef barefoot.
07:55Kneel, beg, or turn back, and the bond lives.
08:01Apologize.
08:02I can still stop this.
08:05You could have stopped all of it.
08:10No one will blame you for kneeling.
08:13Then walk.
08:26Rose.
08:27Enough.
08:28You made your point.
08:31You don't get to decide when my pain is enough.
08:34No one will blame you for kneeling.
08:35The wind tore up my clothes and skin, and blood ran down my feet.
08:40The pain almost made me stop.
08:42But stopping meant going back to him.
08:45If I wanted real freedom, this was the price I had to pay.
08:49Rose, stop.
08:50You don't get to decide when my pain is enough.
08:53So I kept walking.
08:55Kneel, and the bond lives.
08:58Rose, stop.
08:59I can still forgive you.
09:02I don't need your forgiveness.
09:05I broke the garland, and the bond broke with it.
09:13When Lucianne tried to take me back, Kale stood between us.
09:17She said no.
09:22Kale did not appear by accident.
09:25She said no.
09:27How did you know?
09:29Before the right, he had left something on me.
09:32Not a bond.
09:34An anchor.
09:36If the right turns against you, let me find you.
09:39Is that another bond?
09:40No, an anchor.
09:41It only wakes if you choose freedom first.
09:47Then find me.
09:51His bond is still on you.
09:54Then I'll break it.
09:56Lucian's bond had buried it.
09:58Until I broke the bond myself.
10:00When the anchor woke, the sea answered Kale.
10:04That was when everyone finally saw what he really was.
10:08She is bound to me.
10:12No.
10:12She broke it.
10:14You think you can take her from me?
10:17She never belonged to you.
10:22I want her back.
10:24Wanting isn't permission.
10:28Don't kill him.
10:31Your choice.
10:32Kale could have killed him, but he waited for my choice.
10:35Rose!
10:36I spared him because I wanted the truth first.
10:40Rose!
10:41Bring her alive.
10:42Bring him broken.
10:46Blackwood Tide still answers.
10:53After Black Reef, Kale brought me back to the old study.
10:57Ethan Wells came with a box my father had hidden.
11:01Your father left this with my family.
11:05Why?
11:06Why your family?
11:09Because mine failed yours once.
11:11My grandfather died during the last Black Tide.
11:15His journal ended with one word.
11:19Run.
11:20If I wanted to know who ruined my family, this was where I had to start.
11:27Then I remembered there should have been more records here.
11:30So I searched the cabinets and shelves.
11:33These weren't lost.
11:35Someone took them.
11:37But they were gone.
11:40Someone with access.
11:43But the moment we got close, someone attacked the study.
11:52Kale stopped it before it reached me.
11:55Then I found the name I was not ready to see.
11:58Beatrice Blackwood.
12:00Ashford House.
12:01My aunt didn't save me.
12:04She kept the door.
12:06And stole everything behind it.
12:12Company.
12:16I thought Beatrice would hide after we found her name.
12:20Instead she walked straight into my house.
12:23She did not come alone.
12:25She brought an executor.
12:27Look at you.
12:29One night with a siren and you've ruined yourself.
12:34My father's fleet.
12:36The Harbour Deeds.
12:38The Blackwood Seal.
12:41Where are they?
12:44I kept you alive.
12:46Every word she said was meant to scare me into giving up.
12:49That wasn't my question.
12:53You were a child.
12:55Your parents left a mess.
12:58I gave you this house.
13:00She was part of the deal that helped Ashford reach Blackwood.
13:04This house wasn't messy.
13:05It was a keyhole.
13:07But Beatrice forgot one thing.
13:10The house had already woken for me.
13:13By court order this estate is restricted until bloodline review.
13:20Keep digging.
13:21And by sunrise this house won't even be yours.
13:26Then I'll dig faster.
13:30If she wanted a war for Blackwood, I was ready to give her one.
13:35She's scared.
13:38Good.
13:42While I was fighting for my house, Lucian was already back with Seraphina.
13:47She was supposed to come back.
13:49He thought he had lost me because of Kaol.
13:51You still think this is about her loving you?
13:54But the truth was, Seraphina had been using him, too.
13:58Was any of this about me?
14:01Rosalie's blood woke to the house.
14:03The ledger will follow.
14:06Blackwood is waking up again.
14:08Because through Lucian, Ashford House could reach Blackwood.
14:12You were never the prize.
14:15You were how I got in.
14:17And now that the bond was broken, Lucian was no longer useful unless he could bring me back.
14:22The Tide bond would have given you her house.
14:26Her doors.
14:28Her blood.
14:30She broke it.
14:32Then we stopped asking.
14:35The court won't let you take him.
14:39Ashford has bought enough men in this court.
14:42We don't beg for silence.
14:44We buy it.
14:46That was why she kept pushing him.
14:49Bring me the Blackwood girl.
14:51Alive.
14:52She needed me alive.
14:54Because my blood could still wake the house.
14:57Lucian still called it love.
14:59But love does not need chains or orders.
15:02What was that?
15:05Nothing pretty.
15:10East Foundation.
15:12That's where your father marked the entrance.
15:14Ethan took us into the old waterway under the manor.
15:17My whole life was above this.
15:19Pretty rooms hide ugly things.
15:22He said the missing Blackwood records might have been hidden there.
15:25The door opened because it recognized Blackwood blood.
15:28That meant this place was built for my family.
15:31Not for Beatrice.
15:33Your father hid a court under a house.
15:35Inside, we found old wills and ledger pages.
15:39Those papers could prove Beatrice had no right to take Seacliff Manor.
15:43Ashfield touched this.
15:44But the moment we found them, the waterway started to react.
15:50Outer gates.
15:51Someone opened them.
15:55Take the records.
15:57Someone had triggered the old defenses.
16:00I need all of it.
16:01We could not stay there.
16:03Then live long enough to open the rest.
16:07What's going on?
16:08What's going on?
16:10If these papers survived, Beatrice's lie could finally be exposed.
16:20Lucian came alone, carrying another order from the court.
16:24He called it protection, but it felt a lot like control.
16:28Another order?
16:30Temporary custody review.
16:32You released a siren.
16:33Your bloodline is unstable.
16:36My bloodline is unstable?
16:38Or inconvenient?
16:41Give me the court letter.
16:43Stop digging.
16:45I can still protect you.
16:47Since when?
16:48Since I was 15?
16:53You were watching me even then.
16:56I was ordered to watch you.
16:58I didn't mean to love you.
17:00You were watching me before you ever loved me.
17:04That's what I can't forgive.
17:06You have no idea what you are.
17:08And you still think that gives you the right to manage me?
17:10Even now, he still believed he knew what was best for me.
17:14And with that, Lucian lost the last chance to stand beside me.
17:24The Tide Festival became the stage Seraphina had been waiting for.
17:28She wanted the court to see me as a threat.
17:31She tried to turn me into the accused.
17:35Kale tried to break through the barrier, but the court's array held him back.
17:39Rosalie Blackwood released a forbidden siren.
17:42She forged her claim, and she used unstable blood against the court.
17:51She was always fragile.
17:53After her parents died, grief made her see enemies everywhere.
17:59I imagine the Stolen Fleet too.
18:07If she's truly Blackwood, her blood opens the ledger.
18:11If not, this estate goes back to court custody.
18:15As Seraphina moved closer, Kale attacked the barrier again, desperate to reach me.
18:21Not yet.
18:26Let's see what your blood is worth.
18:34Serafina believed my blood would open the Tide Ledger for her alone.
18:39Instead, every secret hidden for years was revealed to the entire court.
18:45The first record confirmed what had always belonged to me.
18:50My parents had never given away the Blackwood estate.
18:57It's the same thing as it was.
18:59You just made everyone watch.
19:08The court follows proof.
19:12Not pity.
19:15The Blackwood estate was left to Rosalie Blackwood.
19:21That record is incomplete
19:22Her parents changed the spher before they died
19:28How unfortunate
19:29Conflicting records
19:32The ledger must verify
19:40Then let it
19:47I held this family together
19:50She was too young to even understand what was left
19:53For years Beatrice claimed she was protecting the Blackwood estate
19:57But the tied ledger revealed where the missing assets had really gone
20:01The debts were fabricated and the transfers were deliberate
20:06Do not touch court property
20:10Those are my parents' names
20:16Signed three days after Lord and Lady Blackwood died
20:24My parents were in their graves
20:26And you were signing their names
20:29I had to protect the estate
20:33You didn't protect this family
20:35You forged their names
20:37Every new record exposed another piece of the scheme
20:40Between Beatrice and Ashford House
20:42Just as the truth about the theft became impossible to deny
20:47A far darker season died to emerge
20:55As the forbidden black tide awakened once more
20:58The trial became a battlefield
21:01Those ships were sinking
21:03I saved what I could
21:08Those weren't debts
21:10They were assets
21:12What she called protection
21:14Was nothing more than a carefully planned theft
21:17The debt was created after the transfer
21:19They stole the estate
21:20Then wrote the excuse
21:24She's a child
21:26Yes
21:27I was a child
21:29You were a thief
21:34Family theft is ugly
21:36But it isn't treason
21:39None of this proves Ashfield harmed the Seaborn
21:45Before anyone could recover from the shock
21:47Another secret began to surface
21:53What appeared next would expose a crime far greater than theft
22:04The deeper the tide ledger went
22:07The darker the truth became
22:09Hidden beneath Ashford Manor
22:11Was a secret no one was supposed to see
22:14Even Lucien could no longer pretend he hadn't heard the cries behind those walls
22:19You heard them
22:22And you looked away
22:25Spare me your moral theater
22:27Blackwood built the first locks
22:29I learned how to use them
22:31Kale's anger was unmistakable
22:33You built cages
22:37And you were the finest thing I ever caged
22:39With nowhere left to hide
22:41Serafina finally revealed her true face
22:44She no longer cared about the court
22:46The evidence
22:47Or the consequences
22:51Stop the alien
22:53She only wanted to destroy everything
22:56Before she lost control
22:59If Ashfield burns
23:02Blackstone drowns with it
23:11As chaos spread across the festival grounds
23:14Beatrice made one last attempt to save herself
23:16She claimed she had protected me all these years
23:20Can't you see?
23:22The siren controls her
23:25I protected that girl from this
23:27As the black tide rushed toward me
23:30Kale moved first
23:31Placing himself between me and the danger
23:34Without a second thought
23:38You protected me?
23:41But the tide ledger had already begun revealing the truth
23:44The memories hidden for years
23:47Appeared before everyone
23:48While I stood alone at my parents' funeral
23:52Beatrice was signing away my family's future
23:55You would have lost everything anyway
23:57Everyone saw the same truth I had been chasing
24:00You called it protection
24:02I call it theft
24:04The ledger has verified intent
24:06Beatrice Blackwood is under court arrest
24:08Blackwood will destroy you again
24:12No
24:14It comes home with me
24:15But the battle was far from over
24:21After years of manipulation and deception
24:24The tide ledger finally delivered its verdict
24:27By verified ledger record
24:29Roselli Blackwood is the lawful heir of House Blackwood
24:34In front of the entire court
24:36I was recognized as the rightful heir of House Blackwood
24:41Only now did Lucien realize how much damage his silence had caused
24:45Rose
24:46Rose
24:47I didn't know it would go this far
24:50Rose
24:52You heard enough
24:53You heard enough
24:54You knew enough
24:55You chose enough
24:56You chose enough
24:59I'm sorry
25:02You didn't lose me
25:05You didn't lose me
25:05You never saw me
25:07The court's judgment had only just begun
25:10Lucien Vail is stripped of court protection pending judgment
25:14No
25:16I fed that tide for years
25:19It knows me
25:22But someone still refused to accept the outcome
25:27As the black tide awakened once again
25:30A new disaster rushed towards me
25:32No
25:34This door answers me
25:40I thought the trial was over
25:41I thought the truth had finally won
25:45But the damage they left behind was bigger than any mine
25:49And now it was coming for all of us
25:52My blood opened these doors
25:56I can hold it
25:59I can't close it
26:04Because it isn't yours
26:08Your blood opens it
26:10I decide where it goes
26:12For years everyone wanted what it could give
26:16No
26:17My blood opened it
26:19My name closes it
26:21But no one understood the truth
26:24The choice was never there
26:27You can bury the truth
26:30I end what they broke
26:41You can steal an aim
26:44You can bury the truth
26:47But eventually
26:48Every death comes to you
26:51I found the truth about my family
26:59And I found the strength they always owed them
27:02I spent years believing I had lost everything
27:08Did he take you from me?
27:10No
27:11I left
27:19I thought I had lost a marriage
27:23What I really lost was my name
27:28And now I've taken it back
27:34I thought I lost a marriage
27:36But what I reclaimed was my name
27:39And now I was shocked
27:39And now I will see you
27:39I am
27:40I havearé
27:40And now I will
27:41And now I will see you
27:41And now I am
27:41And now I have acrossります
27:42You
