Short filmTranscript
00:03At three, I had no voice.
00:05House Malvern cast me as a magicless wretch along with my sick mother.
00:16Yet today, you call me back.
00:18Young master, we've arrived.
00:20A mute heir to a magic house.
00:23No wonder he was thrown away.
00:28As a thousand-year house of magic, we have no place for a magicless wretch who can't
00:34cast a single spell.
00:37Get out!
00:39Last year, illness took mother from me.
00:42You and my cowardly father just stood by.
00:45Now you use bloodline to falsely reel me in.
00:49You think I'm still that dumb kid?
00:51Queen Victoria's banquet is in two days.
00:53The Malverns need full attendance to escape punishment.
00:56That's why I'm really here.
00:59After a seven-year absence.
01:01Could you show me the way to the main hall?
01:02I'm lost.
01:03What are you waving for, little mute cull?
01:05I don't get mute signs.
01:14Insolent fool.
01:16I've killed countless before.
01:19I'm sorry, young master, that the main hall is straight ahead.
01:22I see a mute wretch, but my soul is the dark sorcerer dreaded by all demons, Mar-Logos.
01:27No more, last at first.
01:30No more, this Mah-Logos is the south.
01:42No more Spencer answers.
02:17The Abyssal Curse has found me.
02:20There is no escape.
02:30To regain my past prime.
02:33I started the Silence Curse at three.
02:36It left me mute, unable to cast ordinary spells.
02:40Aldrich, say, Grandpa.
02:43Congenital muteness.
02:47I plan to break Mother's dying wish and stay away.
02:51But since I'm here, I'll make you all kneel and repent at my Mother's grave.
03:05Silent Freak.
03:07What gives you the nerve to keep us waiting?
03:09Come here and apologize.
03:13How have you been all these years?
03:16Grandpa, why bother?
03:17He is mute.
03:17Are we keeping a maid here just to read his hands?
03:22The Queen's banquet nears.
03:24If our coldness shames this house, none of us will escape the consequences.
03:30I...
03:30Father, please.
03:32Don't be mad.
03:33Child.
03:35I know the family failed you and your mother.
03:39But Grandpa will set things right now.
03:50You are a Malvin, and you shall never wander again.
03:55Grandpa, have you lost your senses?
03:57He's a wretch who can't even chant.
03:59Keeping him will shame us all.
04:01Enough!
04:02My decision is final.
04:03Aldric, thank your grandpa.
04:05Quickly!
04:13You threw me away like refuse.
04:15Now you call this mercy?
04:18What does he mean?
04:20He says you threw him away like refuse.
04:23Aldric, how could you say that?
04:25Refute.
04:25At least the wretch knows his place.
04:28I offered you a second chance for the sake of our bloodline.
04:31I saved you from wandering like a stray.
04:34House Malvern was never worthy of me.
04:36I returned to make you kneel at Mother's grave.
04:39What is all that?
04:42What is it?
04:44The young master said he's not settled in yet.
04:47That's all.
04:48Please, Master Aldric.
04:49I'm just trying to keep my job.
04:51Not so fast.
04:52There's something you must do first.
05:03The Queen's invitation is inside.
05:06It opens only with every family member's mark.
05:09So that's why you brought me back.
05:11Don't waste your breath, Grandpa.
05:13A mute cannot chant.
05:15No chant, no spell.
05:17He is useless.
05:20If he can't chant, I'll teach him signal casting.
05:23No chant needed.
05:24I will demonstrate only once.
05:27Watch carefully.
05:30Did you see that?
05:33Aldric, perhaps I could explain the magical flow itself.
05:36Good Lord.
05:37Even infants grasp signal casting faster than him.
05:45Good boy.
05:53That little bastard does not deserve the Queen's banquet.
05:57Once he leaves his seal, kill him.
06:09It worked!
06:12No!
06:23You damn fool!
06:25No, it wasn't me.
06:30Grandpa, it was him!
06:31He did it on purpose.
06:32He sicked that snake on me.
06:34He never forgave us for casting him out.
06:35He's back to destroy House Malville.
06:38Filthy little bastard!
06:40This family showed you mercy, and this is how you repay us?
06:43How dare you!
06:44We should have left you starving in the hudder.
06:46You freak!
06:47You just destroyed the Queen's invitation.
06:50You've ruined House Malvin's future!
06:53Perhaps you require discipline.
07:01Attack!
07:01Attack!
07:10You!
07:12Caelan!
07:13He is your cousin!
07:15Uncle Theore.
07:16So you're the one protecting this freak after all.
07:19So, does he even protect his son?
07:22He's a disgrace to House Malvin.
07:24He deserves no mercy.
07:25Theon, look at your son.
07:27If you protect that boy, you're standing against all of us!
07:35I thought you'd be different.
07:38I'm sorry.
07:39That's not what I meant.
07:40Just apologize, and this is over.
07:45Aldrich, confess your crimes at once, or I will show you no mercy!
07:49Grandpa, look at him.
07:50He still refuses to repent.
07:52You little brat!
07:54Apologize now, or I'll turn you over to the Queen!
08:03They really know ancient, forbidden magic.
08:08The Thornheart Curse?
08:11Not even an archmast would dare act under that curse.
08:13One struggle, and the body tears itself apart.
08:18Father, Aldrich is only ten!
08:20When that kind of attitude deserves punishment, he stays here to reflect on his actions.
08:29Once the Silence Curse is complete, every one of you shall beg for death.
08:36Huh?
08:37What's this?
08:39Ruth.
08:40Oh, wow.
08:41So this is what your mother left you.
08:44Look at that!
08:45The mute's so desperate, he's nearly speaking.
08:50All right.
08:52Here you go.
08:59Dying for a useless little freak like you?
09:02Your mother was truly pathetic.
09:16Aldrich, stop at once!
09:18Your body will be torn apart!
09:20Aldrich!
09:21Please don't!
09:40Prepare to die!
09:44To die!
09:46To die!
09:56He broke through the Thornheart Curse!
09:59Aldrich, was this your true power all along?
10:08High Mage Emery?
10:11The Silence Curse remains incomplete.
10:14Forcing this much power out is still too taxing.
10:20So that power came from a High Mage, after all.
10:25Exactly.
10:26He's still nothing but a useless mutt freak.
10:33Lady Emery, House Malvern welcomes your arrival.
10:38So this is the mute failure you wished me to train?
10:41The Queen's invitation has been destroyed.
10:44I can take you to the Banquet myself.
10:48Aldrich!
10:50I shall overlook your actions this once.
10:52Go to your room and rest.
10:54Young Master, follow me.
10:57Follow me.
11:21Silence Curse mutes me to forge my form.
11:25Two more days, I will get my power back.
11:45What kind of power is this?
11:48What kind of power is this?
11:58A supreme mage that is channeling nearby.
12:01If I continue, my mana will collapse.
12:06Master Merlin!
12:08Her Majesty suffered a mana backlash.
12:11She's coughing blood!
12:25A grand archer-meist.
12:29Still alive at this age.
12:33Heavens!
12:34I have seen such crushing power.
12:37Manor like this.
12:39From the forgotten Malvin estate.
12:42Whoever he is, he could swallow a city.
12:45How could a fallen miner house deserve such a master?
12:50Before him I am nothing.
12:52I dare not seek him out.
12:55I'd give up the crown for a master like that.
13:02Just one more step to refining my core.
13:06Now my voice can reach their minds.
13:16So you're the mute reject.
13:18I'm Emery.
13:19Your grandfather hired me to teach you basic magic.
13:22Only Bloodline keeps him in this house.
13:24Who does he think he is?
13:42Seven Hardest Grimmatores.
13:44Pick one.
13:44Memorize it in a day.
13:46I'll only guide you three times.
13:48Children's primers.
13:49And she calls them difficult.
13:50I am well aware your mind is empty.
13:52And you have never known such high arts.
13:55But...
13:57Choose.
13:58Now.
14:05Magic most evil?
14:09What is this supposed to mean?
14:12Are you refusing to study any of them?
14:15All seven?
14:16Who do you think you are, a god of magic?
14:18These take decades to master, not hours.
14:26Worthless wretch.
14:27Are you mocking me?
14:28I am a high mage of...
14:29Every spell in these seven books.
14:32I had mastered them.
14:33All by the age of three.
14:35Telepathy?
14:36Even an archmace would need decades.
14:38He is ten.
14:39How?
14:40Have you lost your voice as well?
14:42Fine, you have some talent.
14:44But mastering these at three?
14:46Absurd.
14:50Prove it.
14:52Use all that spellcraft you read in those ancient books.
14:56Jewel me.
15:01A stick?
15:02You mean to impress a high magus with that?
15:06Impossible!
15:17What is happening?
15:18Is the earth splitting apart?
15:28No earthquake.
15:29A mage is casting powerful spell.
15:31To the courtyard, now!
15:33Memory.
15:40Oh, I like this.
15:43I'm still alive.
15:4940, come back.
15:58Lots above.
15:59This power.
16:00It is incomprehensible.
16:03No!
16:04Do your worst.
16:06What the hell?
16:08Has the sky fallen?
16:12It's far beyond the Grinicors.
16:14But that's all, isn't it?
16:16You little shit.
