Short filmTranscript
00:00:12Master!
00:00:13You took three provinces worth of grain from your grandfather's reserves in High Court.
00:00:17Nearly burnt through all your primal magic just so Julian wouldn't trace it back to you.
00:00:21Was it worth it?
00:00:23With this grain, Julia can claim the glory of ending the famine.
00:00:26He promised that next month, when he returns triumphant, he'll free Mother and me from that cage.
00:00:32He'll marry me.
00:00:35I've waited so long for this day.
00:00:45Julian?
00:00:47What are you doing?
00:00:49Sister, look at you.
00:00:51Filthy as always.
00:00:53Oh, you haven't heard?
00:00:55Julian proposed to me.
00:00:57I'm going to be his queen.
00:00:59Julian?
00:01:00You're marrying her?
00:01:02But you promised!
00:01:03You said if I found enough grain, you'd come for me!
00:01:05Enough, Elvin!
00:01:06I don't know how you got High Court's grain here.
00:01:08I will never marry you!
00:01:09My future queen cannot be the daughter of a vile witch.
00:01:12Your sister has your father's favor, his support, and a flawless lineage.
00:01:16She will be my queen.
00:01:18What?
00:01:20Daughter of a witch?
00:01:22Vile?
00:01:22Eloine, you're a witch's fawn.
00:01:24Disgusting.
00:01:25Stay far away from us!
00:01:29You lot are highborn princesses.
00:01:31Yet all you do is slander her mother?
00:01:33Where are your royal manners?
00:01:39So what if your mother is a witch?
00:01:40She raised you well.
00:01:42You have the purest heart I've ever known.
00:01:45You've been lying to me this whole time?
00:01:47Just to get your hands on my mother's resources?
00:01:49My grandfather's?
00:01:51Your mother's a witch, that's a fact.
00:01:53Making you my mistress was risky enough.
00:01:55Then I refuse!
00:01:56Eloine, everything your mother brought belongs to father now.
00:02:01Your grandfather?
00:02:02A fading shadow.
00:02:04You talk to animals all day like a madwoman.
00:02:07Who would even want you?
00:02:08Maybe a palace guard?
00:02:11Don't be ridiculous, Eloine.
00:02:13I will marry Serafina.
00:02:14But she's generous.
00:02:16She'll let you stay by my side and bear my children.
00:02:19You'll marry one of my guards, as my mistress.
00:02:22Julian, you ungrateful snake!
00:02:33Master, you sure you want to seek out this madman?
00:02:36Lord Allered may rival the prince in power, but he kills without batting an eye.
00:02:41Only someone more ruthless than the devil can help me reclaim what belongs to my mother.
00:02:48Lord Alaric.
00:02:53Little princess, come in here dressed like this.
00:02:56Do you think your tears can wash away the blood on my blade?
00:03:00I want by you.
00:03:03By me?
00:03:05You?
00:03:06I hold High Court's riches in my hands,
00:03:08and I can transform this frozen wasteland into green pastures.
00:03:12All I ask for is the title of your lady.
00:03:15Can we do business together, Lord Alaric?
00:03:18Anyone who dares make a such deal with me
00:03:21won't live long enough to become fertilizer beneath my feet.
00:03:34My lord!
00:03:35That southern princess brought a whole army of beasts!
00:03:43More sincere than those fools who sent gold.
00:03:45Let her in.
00:03:56The Far North doesn't feed the useless.
00:04:00You didn't faint.
00:04:01So, what's your offer?
00:04:03I offer these seeds,
00:04:04and enough food to feed your people through winter.
00:04:06In exchange, I buy the title of Lady Blackthorn.
00:04:09Your wife.
00:04:10Hmph.
00:04:12So, the rooms are true.
00:04:14Your family is richer than whole kingdoms.
00:04:16But weren't you desperate to marry Prince Julian?
00:04:19The whole continent knows of your romance with him.
00:04:21I did choose him.
00:04:23I thought he'd save my sick mother from that hellhole,
00:04:25but I won't hand what my mother left me to an ungrateful animal.
00:04:31You want my sword to cut down your fiancé?
00:04:33I'm trading grain for your protection.
00:04:36Food gets eaten.
00:04:37Gold runs out.
00:04:39Southern seeds won't survive here.
00:04:41What makes you think any of this can buy the King of the North as your guard dog?
00:04:47What if I could give the North an eternal spring?
00:04:52What are you doing?
00:04:53What are you doing?
00:05:00Forest Ridge.
00:05:02You can make the tundra bloom.
00:05:04You actually inherited your mother's power.
00:05:06My lord.
00:05:07Do we have a deal now?
00:05:11Valerius!
00:05:13My lord.
00:05:14Muster 2,000 black riders.
00:05:16We shall set off to Jarlan Palace to claim my bride.
00:05:19My lord.
00:05:20Isn't that a bit much?
00:05:22The little princess is in quite a rush.
00:05:25Must be desperate.
00:05:27I'll be waiting.
00:05:29Prince Julian.
00:05:30Your father's iron grip is the only thing keeping me on this throne.
00:05:34Seraphina is honored to be yours.
00:05:37Elowen.
00:05:38So you bothered to come back?
00:05:40Put on the wedding dress.
00:05:41Prince Julian's guard has been waiting long enough.
00:05:44Admit you were wrong and I'll still let you bear my child.
00:05:47You'll just marry my guard.
00:05:48As a mistress.
00:05:50You still think you deserve to be his queen?
00:05:52Seraphina has pure blood.
00:05:54She's a holy maiden.
00:05:55A favored goddaughter of the Pope.
00:05:57You're a witch's daughter.
00:05:59How could you ever compare?
00:06:01Funny.
00:06:02When famine struck and enemies stormed the gates, you all begged my mother to use her magic.
00:06:06No one called her a witch then!
00:06:09Silence!
00:06:09Look at the daughter you raised.
00:06:11Always dragging up the past.
00:06:13His highness is right here.
00:06:14Have you no shame?
00:06:15Marrying my guard is already more than you deserve.
00:06:17Since your mother left, High Court's been crumbling.
00:06:20Your grandfather can barely protect himself.
00:06:23You have no way out.
00:06:24Then consider this engagement dead, your highness.
00:06:38My dress!
00:06:40God!
00:06:40Help me!
00:06:46Since you all despise my mother so much,
00:06:49I'm taking back what's hers.
00:06:54Mother, Julian wants me as his mistress.
00:06:57I'm done.
00:06:58Not one more second in this house, but your grandfather's seeds.
00:07:02The dragontree elder grove.
00:07:04This kingdom only thrives because we gave them to the crown.
00:07:07They don't deserve it.
00:07:08They think we don't matter.
00:07:10I'll show them what does.
00:07:12Trust me.
00:07:12I'm taking back everything that's ours.
00:07:17Your highness, these dragontrees bear fruit year-round.
00:07:20Every kingdom wants them.
00:07:22This bounty is enough to keep us rich for life.
00:07:25And that fool Elowen, she actually thinks her witch mother can threaten us.
00:07:29She's useless now.
00:07:30I've ordered the grove sealed.
00:07:32Officially crowned property from here on.
00:07:34She'll get nothing.
00:07:36Exactly.
00:07:37Her little stunt earlier was just a desperate bluff to get your attention, Prince Julia.
00:07:41Mark my words.
00:07:42Tomorrow she'll learn her place and marry that guard.
00:07:45Once she's chained down, this grove is ours forever.
00:07:51In the name of the nature rich, I break this contract.
00:07:57Life return!
00:08:14What's happening?
00:08:15The trees!
00:08:16They're dying!
00:08:18Get water!
00:08:20No, there's no fire!
00:08:21They're withering!
00:08:27This is only the beginning.
00:08:31Fenrin, give the order.
00:08:33Mobilize every servant loyal to my mother.
00:08:36Grain, silk, gold.
00:08:38Everything in those storehouse.
00:08:39Don't leave these bandits so much as a grain of wheat.
00:08:41At once, Master.
00:08:43None shall trample your authority.
00:08:48Find Elwene!
00:08:50She did this!
00:08:51Drag her here and make her fix the tree!
00:08:54Your Majesty!
00:08:56Disaster!
00:08:57The princess is moving out!
00:08:59Moving out?
00:09:00No!
00:09:01She emptied the entire treasury.
00:09:03The horses, the oxen, they're all heading north with her.
00:09:06We can't stop them!
00:09:07We can't stop them!
00:09:18Elwene!
00:09:19Have you lost your mind?
00:09:20These belong to the palace!
00:09:22Belong to the palace?
00:09:24Every morsel here came from my mother's dowry.
00:09:28You call her wicked, then don't touch what's hers.
00:09:32Let me show you what wicked, brilliant, I need to do.
00:09:39Julian, get on your empty drone and starve.
00:09:55This is madness!
00:09:57That little wretch stripped the house bare!
00:10:00Your Majesty, rein her in!
00:10:05Your Highness, when do you leave?
00:10:07The things she took, can we find a way to keep them?
00:10:11Let her have her fun.
00:10:12She's throwing a tantrum.
00:10:14She wants my attention.
00:10:15John, the dragon tree withered suddenly.
00:10:17If it stays this way, the marriage contract will be renegotiated.
00:10:21Your Highness, rest assured.
00:10:23The dragon tree goes dormant from time to time.
00:10:26A week at most, it'll recover.
00:10:29Good.
00:10:32What happened?
00:10:33Get Isabella to bleed for the tree.
00:10:35Now.
00:10:41Father, Mother can't give more blood.
00:10:44Too many dragon trees.
00:10:46The soil can't feed them all.
00:10:49Cut a few down.
00:10:50She's already so weak.
00:10:51As if you understand these things.
00:10:54It's once a year.
00:10:56One bloodletting.
00:10:57One year of fruit.
00:10:58We've always done it this way.
00:11:00One more word and you don't eat tonight.
00:11:03Father!
00:11:06Mother, don't be afraid.
00:11:08We have natural witchcraft.
00:11:11We can survive the far north.
00:11:13You gave this family ten years.
00:11:15You don't deserve their cruelty.
00:11:18As long as you're safe.
00:11:21Enough!
00:11:22Elwyn, stop with your pathetic little tantrums!
00:11:26What is this?
00:11:27Your mother is not going anywhere.
00:11:29Just fulfill the marriage contract.
00:11:32Return everything you loaded on that carriage,
00:11:34and His Highness might overlook your offense.
00:11:37Marry a lowborn guard?
00:11:40Be Julian's mistress?
00:11:41Father, you actually agreed to this shameful marriage contract?
00:11:44His Highness said it himself.
00:11:46Marrying you to one of his guards is already mercy!
00:11:54Guards, a mistress.
00:11:57My own father let Julian walk all over me.
00:12:07Will your tears make that hypocrite drop dead?
00:12:13My lord, they're taking me away tomorrow.
00:12:16When are you coming to claim me?
00:12:17The far north doesn't trust empty words.
00:12:20Elevin, what you offer can be taken back.
00:12:23You must prove your loyalty.
00:12:39Is this loyal enough for you?
00:12:48Take my cloak off.
00:12:59You think this is enough to buy me?
00:13:07Then what does my lord want?
00:13:10To devour me whole?
00:13:13No?
00:13:16No?
00:13:17No?
00:13:17No?
00:13:19No?
00:13:19No?
00:13:19No?
00:13:21Remember this taste.
00:13:24No one takes you from me.
00:13:26No one touches you but me.
00:13:30I'm leaving.
00:13:31You're not taking me with you?
00:13:33What about revenge?
00:13:34Make them pay a thousandfold.
00:13:36Tomorrow, wait for me.
00:13:42This is a marriage contract?
00:13:51Oh, my daughter, you look stunning today.
00:13:55Look, the eldest princess is divine.
00:13:58Such a pity.
00:13:59In name she weds a lowborn guard.
00:14:02In truth, she'll be the prince's mistress.
00:14:04No title, no honor.
00:14:06Poor girl.
00:14:07Elowen.
00:14:08King John decreed this match himself.
00:14:10On this day, I bestow my eldest daughter,
00:14:14Princess Elowen,
00:14:15upon Prince Julian's personal guard.
00:14:18May the gods bear witness...
00:14:19I refuse.
00:14:23Have you lost your mind, you wretch?
00:14:25The whole city is watching.
00:14:27Father, I hate you.
00:14:29Have you forgotten who gave grandfather's vast fortune
00:14:32to secure your throne?
00:14:34My mother!
00:14:35She gave you the very life of this continent,
00:14:37and you repay her by making her daughter
00:14:39another man's mistress!
00:14:41Silence!
00:14:42Everything on this continent belongs to the crown.
00:14:44Your mother has nothing to do with it.
00:14:56It's time.
00:15:03My daughter.
00:15:04You thought loading all that treasure onto a cart
00:15:07meant you could actually keep it?
00:15:09Prince Julian gave it all back to us anyway.
00:15:12Your useless mother.
00:15:13She stays here.
00:15:16Behave, and I'll treat her well.
00:15:18Cross me,
00:15:19and she won't live to sea tomorrow.
00:15:28Pick up the pace.
00:15:29By sundown, I want the whole city to know
00:15:32Elowen married a guard.
00:15:42What's happening?
00:15:43That thunder.
00:15:44Why does it sound like who?
00:15:48Julian!
00:15:49Give me back my wife!
00:15:53Ah!
00:15:55Ah!
00:15:58Ah!
00:15:59Ah!
00:16:01Ah!
00:16:02Ah!
00:16:03Ah!
00:16:14Your highness!
00:16:16The outer walls collapsed!
00:16:17We're under attack!
00:16:18Are they mad?
00:16:19Who dares strike now?
00:16:21Julian!
00:16:21Is this your border guard?
00:16:23Staging a mutiny?
00:16:24Ah!
00:16:25No!
00:16:26That banner!
00:16:27The Raven Bannon!
00:16:28From the far north!
00:16:29It's Alaret!
00:16:30Dammit!
00:16:31Elowen marries today no matter what!
00:16:33Take the back waterway!
00:16:34Move!
00:16:48Where's the ship?
00:16:49Get her on board!
00:16:50Now!
00:16:52Ah!
00:17:00Ah!
00:17:01Ah!
00:17:01Ah!
00:17:02Ah!
00:17:03Ah!
00:17:10Stand in my way and die in pieces.
00:17:16Stop!
00:17:17Alaret!
00:17:18These are sovereign waters!
00:17:19This is an act of war!
00:17:30Ah!
00:17:32Ah!
00:17:33Ah!
00:17:33Ah!
00:17:43Does it hurt?
00:17:44You really came back for me.
00:17:46Where's my mother?
00:17:47She's safe.
00:17:50I sent the Black Riders to get her out.
00:17:52She'll be here soon.
00:17:54Everyone who's hurt you, I'll destroy them.
00:17:57One by one.
00:18:08I love it!
00:18:10You'd go to war with Yellow Rock Kingdom over a ruined woman?
00:18:13This is my wedding day!
00:18:14You dare slaughter my men and destroy my ceremony?
00:18:17Wedding.
00:18:18All I see is a coward who steals from women and bullies the root.
00:18:22Fine!
00:18:23Just try and take her.
00:18:25You think the North is untouchable.
00:18:27I'll seal your borders, cut off all your trade.
00:18:30In three months, your lands will be screaming for mercy.
00:18:33You'll be crawling back on your knees to return her.
00:18:36Clutch the North?
00:18:37Julian, you must be delirious from hunger.
00:18:40The North is cold.
00:18:41Short on grain, I'll admit.
00:18:43But if you march on my lands, I should thank you.
00:18:45It would save us the trouble of hauling supplies.
00:18:48Your warhorses and your soldiers will feed the North just fine.
00:18:51Enough thought.
00:18:52I'm not here to negotiate and I don't care about your wedding.
00:18:55I have one purpose.
00:18:58To take her home.
00:19:03We finally came.
00:19:05I was so scared.
00:19:06My magic wouldn't work.
00:19:09I'm here.
00:19:11Neil!
00:19:12Long live the Queen of the North!
00:19:33Your so-called noble blood.
00:19:36Sustained by draining one woman dry.
00:19:40King John, you remember the fortune her mother brought to your crown.
00:19:43And now?
00:19:44You won't even spare this princess a proper cloak.
00:19:48Everyone on Dragontree Island knows the poor eldest princess.
00:19:51In summer, she ate rotten scraps, foraging in the hills like a beggar.
00:19:56In winter, denied firewood.
00:19:58Kept warm only by working till she dropped.
00:20:00If she weren't so strong, you'd have killed her long ago!
00:20:03It's true, the poor princess!
00:20:05I've seen her scavenging in the wild, sleeping beside animals for warmth.
00:20:10Her stepmother and father are monsters!
00:20:12Enough!
00:20:12Enough!
00:20:13Those are mere family trifles.
00:20:15She's royalty.
00:20:16She's meant to sacrifice for her kingdom.
00:20:18She's nothing but a lowborn witch's daughter.
00:20:21Keeping her as my handmaid was me showing her mercy.
00:20:23With a witch for a mother, no man on this continent would bid for her hand.
00:20:27Mercy!
00:20:28Julian, I must have been blind to ever want you.
00:20:32And you, Alaric!
00:20:33Don't think saving her changes anything.
00:20:35She's penniless.
00:20:36Her mother's fortune gone.
00:20:38Spent to the last coin.
00:20:39You have no reason to take her north.
00:20:40She's played you!
00:20:42Played?
00:20:43Who's been played here?
00:20:44Julian, did you really believe those mountains of grain came from that so-called Serafina's
00:20:49prayers?
00:20:54Don't tell them it was me.
00:20:55I don't want people thinking you married a witch.
00:20:58I won't let you suffer for it.
00:21:01Drop the act!
00:21:02If Serafina didn't get that grain, where'd it come from?
00:21:04The lunatic who talks to rats conjured it out of thin air?
00:21:07Element, I didn't want to say this.
00:21:10Julian's grain.
00:21:11I traded dragon tree fruit for it.
00:21:13If you're going to lie, at least make it believable.
00:21:15How could you move all that grain alone?
00:21:17Where would it even come from?
00:21:18Don't you know those dragon trees belong to my grandfather?
00:21:22And I'm taking them with me.
00:21:24That entire dragon tree grove, it's crown property now.
00:21:27How will you take it?
00:21:28As long as those trees stand, High Court will never go hungry.
00:21:32As for you, Alaric, go back to the North, that sunless wasteland where even rats freeze
00:21:39to death.
00:21:39You don't actually think taking this useless flower girl will save your people, do you?
00:21:45You hear that?
00:21:46This is reality!
00:21:48Elephant, you ought to drop to your knees and beg.
00:21:51Maybe I'll show mercy.
00:21:52Let you keep your worthless life.
00:21:54As for you, Lord of the North, you're a clever madman.
00:21:57Let her go.
00:21:58Whatever she's offered you, I'll double it.
00:22:00I'll even throw in a full winter's worth of premium firewood.
00:22:04How's that sound?
00:22:05A full winter's worth of firewood?
00:22:10Even if he betrays me, I won't be surprised.
00:22:13In the far North, survival always comes first.
00:22:17You're offering double?
00:22:19A whole winter's worth of firewood.
00:22:22Julian, not everyone is like you.
00:22:25Not everyone can be bought for a price.
00:22:27Driving a hard bargain, eh?
00:22:28Then how many cartloads is she worth to you?
00:22:31I see the winters she survived.
00:22:33Without a heart in this god-fistaken city.
00:22:36I ache to think of what she endured, and I admire her strength and courage.
00:22:42She is priceless.
00:22:44Save your breath.
00:22:45She's not staying here.
00:22:47Not today.
00:22:48That's for you.
00:22:54Madman!
00:22:55I offered you mercy, and you spit on it!
00:22:58Guards!
00:22:58Kill him!
00:23:10You see that?
00:23:11The royal knights of Yellow Rock Kingdom.
00:23:14My mother's here.
00:23:16She knows you ruined my wedding.
00:23:19She's come to punish you herself.
00:23:21Alaric, it's too late to beg.
00:23:23Today, both of you die here!
00:23:30Hear that, Alaric?
00:23:31My mother's here, with the royal knights.
00:23:33You're not taking Elwyn anywhere.
00:23:35Not today.
00:23:36Listen to me, Julian.
00:23:38Marry Serafina if you want.
00:23:40But Elowen?
00:23:41You bring her back to me.
00:23:43Drag her back in chains if you have to!
00:23:46Mother, you're overthinking this.
00:23:48Elowen's worthless.
00:23:49Useless.
00:23:50Her mother's fortune?
00:23:51Old John seized it all years ago.
00:23:53All that's left are a few servants.
00:23:55What's the point of bringing her back?
00:23:56You fool!
00:23:57You have no idea how terrifying her mother Isabella was!
00:24:01She was a nature witch.
00:24:03Powerful enough to unmake the world.
00:24:05One flick of her hand, and all life on this continent bent to her will.
00:24:08They say dragons answer the call of a pure blood witch.
00:24:12That was years ago, if it even happened at all.
00:24:14I've never seen her summon a damn thing.
00:24:16Isabella may be broken now, but Elwyn carries her blood.
00:24:20If another lord gets his hands on their power, he rules the continent.
00:24:24We cannot let her slip away!
00:24:26Relax, Mother.
00:24:27I'll handle it.
00:24:28I'll pack both sisters up and bring them back.
00:24:30Simple.
00:24:35Mother!
00:24:36Perfect timing!
00:24:37This ferric northerner ruined my wedding and threatened to steal my bride.
00:24:41Give the order!
00:24:42Teach this savage his place!
00:24:44Elowen, you're dead this time.
00:24:47I'm sorry.
00:24:52Isabella?
00:24:54What?
00:24:55How?
00:24:56You haven't aged?
00:24:59At all?
00:25:02Isabella?
00:25:03You haven't aged a day.
00:25:06You knew my mother, so you're her daughter.
00:25:10The resemblance is uncanny.
00:25:13But why are you here, and in such a sorry state?
00:25:17Why are you with the Lord of the North?
00:25:19And Julian, who did she marry today?
00:25:21Mother!
00:25:23It's him!
00:25:24He won't let me marry Elowen!
00:25:27Alaric!
00:25:28Kneel and beg for mercy!
00:25:30Hand over Elowen, and maybe I'll let you crawl back to the North.
00:25:33Exactly!
00:25:34A beggar from that frozen wasteland, kneel!
00:25:37And leave everything that belongs to the crown!
00:25:40Try me.
00:25:40We'll see who kneels first.
00:25:44Mother!
00:25:45I'm Serafina, his heightness's lawfully wedded wife.
00:25:49Elowen has no manners.
00:25:51Please, forgive the embarrassment.
00:25:56Mother?
00:25:57You dare call me Mother?
00:26:00You shameless low-bred trap!
00:26:02You seduced my son!
00:26:10Mother!
00:26:11Have you lost your mind?
00:26:12Why would you hit her?
00:26:13You're the one who's lost his mind.
00:26:15What did I tell you before I left?
00:26:17I told you to marry Elowen, and what did you bring back?
00:26:21Serafina's a princess of High Court too.
00:26:23Noble blood!
00:26:24She's nothing but a jealous waste of space!
00:26:27Mother, calm down.
00:26:27I did bring Elowen back.
00:26:30I arranged for her to marry my personal guard.
00:26:32She can be my mistress.
00:26:34She's still ours, isn't she?
00:26:35Do you even have a brain?
00:26:37Do you think I care about some title?
00:26:39We need her!
00:26:41She herself is priceless!
00:26:43How did I raise such a fool?
00:26:46Priceless?
00:26:46Her?
00:26:47She's a mongrel with a witch for a mother.
00:26:49Everything else belongs to her father.
00:26:50She's worthless!
00:26:50Besides, her father signed over everything her mother left.
00:26:54He lives off the scraps I give him.
00:26:57She's penniless now.
00:26:59No value left.
00:27:01It's under my control.
00:27:03Under your control?
00:27:05Of course.
00:27:06Good.
00:27:07Then tell me, if everything's under your control,
00:27:10why is she standing behind the Lord of the North
00:27:13and not in your low-brained servant's carriage?
00:27:18Actually, I was just negotiating a deal with him.
00:27:20That frozen wasteland can't grow a single tree.
00:27:23I offered him enough timber to survive winter.
00:27:26He jumped at it.
00:27:27He was about to hand Elowen over like a good boy.
00:27:30Julian, do you actually believe your own lies?
00:27:33Shut up!
00:27:34What do you know?
00:27:35Is he insane?
00:27:37Provoking the northern god of war?
00:27:39If the North hadn't guarded the mountains for generations,
00:27:42demons would have overrun the continent.
00:27:44You really think the Northern Iron Cavalry is so mighty?
00:27:47Every lord of the North signed the non-crossing pact.
00:27:50They call it holding the line.
00:27:52Don't make me laugh.
00:27:54They're broke.
00:27:55Too poor to feed themselves.
00:27:57Too poor to mine iron for weapons.
00:28:00They don't honor the pact.
00:28:01They can't even afford to march out and raid.
00:28:03Everyone knows how the Northern Iron Cavalry swept the continent.
00:28:07They don't march because when they do,
00:28:10entire kingdoms fall.
00:28:12You!
00:28:13You witless swine!
00:28:15Hold your tongue!
00:28:16Oh.
00:28:17So in your highness's eyes,
00:28:18the North is too poor to leave home.
00:28:20Since your highness is so generous with timber,
00:28:23why not throw in grain as well?
00:28:24Ha ha ha ha!
00:28:25See, mother?
00:28:26I told you he's a beggar grain.
00:28:27Our royal granaries are overflowing.
00:28:29Isn't that a guard from the royal granary?
00:28:31Why is he such a wreck?
00:28:33Your highness!
00:28:33Something terrible has happened!
00:28:41Your majesty!
00:28:42Mother!
00:28:44Terrifying witch powers?
00:28:45Northern massacres?
00:28:46I've never heard of any of this!
00:28:49You!
00:28:50Besides, if the North were truly that powerful, wouldn't I know?
00:28:55You're confused, mother.
00:28:57Taken in by peasant folk's tales.
00:28:59I brought enough men.
00:29:01I just need to seize Elowan.
00:29:03Her family's wealth will come to me soon enough.
00:29:06Mother, stop fretting.
00:29:08You fool!
00:29:09You'll get us all killed!
00:29:12Royal knights!
00:29:13Heed my command!
00:29:15Charge!
00:29:16Kill that insolent northern lord and bring me Elowan!
00:29:19Come then.
00:29:20Are you all deaf?
00:29:21I said charge!
00:29:23Your highness!
00:29:24You can't fight!
00:29:25Something terrible has happened!
00:29:27Wretched dog!
00:29:28Stop wailing!
00:29:29Let the sky fall!
00:29:29I'll hold it up!
00:29:30You're minus!
00:29:31Our royal granaries!
00:29:33They're gone!
00:29:35What do you mean gone?
00:29:36All our stockpiles vanished overnight!
00:29:39All the reserves across three provinces!
00:29:43Even the winter timber!
00:29:45Not a single grain or plank left!
00:29:47All empty!
00:29:53You're full of it!
00:29:55That's the granary of three provinces.
00:29:58Tens of millions of pounds of grain and timber.
00:30:00A hundred thousand men couldn't clear it in a week.
00:30:02How could it just vanish?
00:30:04Your highness, it's true.
00:30:06Lady Sarah came because grain was already missing.
00:30:09Once she left, not a husk of wheat, not a splinter of wood.
00:30:15Everything stripped clean!
00:30:20It's impossible!
00:30:22This can't be real!
00:30:23Who did this?
00:30:24It's over!
00:30:26It's over!
00:30:27It's all over!
00:30:27Mother, we can still levit!
00:30:29Levit with what?
00:30:30Your father already chose sides.
00:30:32That grain was meant to buy noble support to crown that mistress's son.
00:30:37Father favours him that much?
00:30:39I hadn't moved it yet, and now it's gone!
00:30:42No grain, no timber.
00:30:44What feeds the army?
00:30:46What wins you the throne?
00:30:47We'll freeze and starve to death!
00:30:51Impossible!
00:30:52Three provinces emptied overnight.
00:30:55This is your grand gift to me.
00:30:56I told you.
00:30:57I'd give the North its warmest winter.
00:31:00What, my lord, isn't pleased?
00:31:02Beyond pleased.
00:31:05That mark?
00:31:07You have it too!
00:31:08It was you!
00:31:09You did this!
00:31:10Julian, what I gave you I can take back, with interest.
00:31:22By the name of nature, all living things, obey me.
00:31:32Look over there!
00:31:34What is that?
00:31:36What?
00:31:43Beasts!
00:31:44So many of them!
00:31:54Divine punishment!
00:31:56Please don't eat me!
00:31:58The mark of nature?
00:31:59That's the mark of nature!
00:32:01Only forest witches bear that mark!
00:32:03You blind fool!
00:32:04She's a forest witch!
00:32:06She can command all living things!
00:32:09Mother, what are you talking about?
00:32:10She's the real treasure!
00:32:12With her, you could grow crops in a desert!
00:32:16You crossed the one person you should never have crossed!
00:32:19She's the one you should have married!
00:32:21Regret it now?
00:32:23Too late.
00:32:24She belongs to the North now.
00:32:27She's my lady.
00:32:28Impossible!
00:32:29That can't be true!
00:32:31She's just a lunatic who talks to beasts!
00:32:33She can't do anything!
00:32:34And you're still arguing!
00:32:36I've got it!
00:32:37It's Serafina!
00:32:39Everyone knows Serafina is the holy maiden of the Church of the Seven Gods!
00:32:43That grain!
00:32:44Serafina called it forth with divine power!
00:32:46If she called it forth once, she can do it again!
00:32:49Serafina!
00:32:50Pray to the god!
00:32:51Right now!
00:32:51Bring the grain back and show them!
00:32:57Serafina, now!
00:32:58Show this savage and that witch's daughter!
00:33:00Prove you're the true holy minden who brings the harvest!
00:33:03Your Highness, the gods might be unavailable today.
00:33:06Unavailable?
00:33:07You prayed in the woods every day and the dragon tree bore fruit.
00:33:09Do it!
00:33:10Pray for grain to appear before me!
00:33:12Now!
00:33:14Great seven gods, please grant us grain.
00:33:18Please, amen!
00:33:21Ah!
00:33:23Disgusting!
00:33:24What happened?
00:33:25Did you say it wrong?
00:33:26Do it again!
00:33:28I...
00:33:29I really don't know!
00:33:32Don't waste your breath.
00:33:34Julian, did you ever wonder why the dragon tree bore fruit?
00:33:38Why your grandhaards filled the moment you cried family?
00:33:43Because she's the holy maiden!
00:33:45She's no holy maiden.
00:33:47That grain was never yours.
00:33:49Never hers either.
00:33:51Because all of it...
00:33:54I gave it to you.
00:33:55You're lying!
00:33:58Prove it!
00:34:16A dragon!
00:34:18A dragon tree!
00:34:20A dragon tree!
00:34:21A dragon tree!
00:34:23A dragon tree!
00:34:25No!
00:34:26How is this possible?
00:34:28You idiot!
00:34:28Do you see?
00:34:29This is the woman you should have done anything to marry!
00:34:32And you drove her away!
00:34:34Elowyn!
00:34:35If you had this power all along, why...
00:34:37Why did you hide it from me?
00:34:39I was going to tell you everything.
00:34:41The day you proposed and took me away from that cage.
00:34:44But you answered me perfectly by making me your mistress.
00:34:50So you didn't deserve to know.
00:34:54And now, I have found the one I truly want to share it with.
00:35:04Today, I'm taking everything that belonged to my mother.
00:35:08Farewell, wretched land of lies and shame.
00:35:10Stop!
00:35:11You won't take a single thing!
00:35:14That property is mine!
00:35:17Take it!
00:35:18And I'll burn your mother's dragon tree, mother grove, to the ground!
00:35:22We all go down in flames!
00:35:29Father, mother planted that grove with her own hands.
00:35:32It's the last piece of her left in this world.
00:35:34How dare you use it to threaten me!
00:35:36You traitor!
00:35:37You betrayed your family.
00:35:39Gave our fortune to this savage.
00:35:41And I am the traitor?
00:35:42Elevon, wake up!
00:35:44You think marrying this mad dog from the north will save you?
00:35:47The northern tundra is frozen wasteland.
00:35:50Nothing grows.
00:35:51Without your fortune, you'll freeze and starve!
00:35:55Worse than a dog!
00:35:56Lord Alaric, don't get smug just yet.
00:35:59You really think my daughter has feelings for you?
00:36:01Say what you mean.
00:36:03She doesn't actually have the nerve to leave.
00:36:05Julian bruised her pride.
00:36:07She just wants a new nest, bought with my family's fortune.
00:36:11She's been using you all along!
00:36:14You, the lord of the north, are nothing but her tool.
00:36:17A tool to spite Julian.
00:36:19A tool to haul her wealth.
00:36:21Once she's done, she'll toss you aside!
00:36:24I was the one who went to Alaric with the deal.
00:36:26He won't turn on me.
00:36:27Will he?
00:36:29I'm not...
00:36:29That's not...
00:36:35Use me.
00:36:36I've known all along.
00:36:40More than that, I had to work damn hard just to show her.
00:36:44The north's sharpest blade was hers to command.
00:36:47Alaric!
00:36:47I should thank you, your highness.
00:36:50If you weren't so blind, she'd never have looked my way.
00:36:53I feel no shame being an instrument of Elowanna's plan.
00:36:56It's my badge of honor.
00:36:57I want the whole continent to know.
00:36:59To be the blade in my queen's hand?
00:37:01Why, it's my pleasure.
00:37:02Madmen!
00:37:03You're both mad!
00:37:05It doesn't matter!
00:37:06Those assets are under my name!
00:37:09That's high court law!
00:37:10None of you can touch them!
00:37:26Who says we can't?
00:37:28Mother!
00:37:32John, I endured ten years of you, just to keep my daughter alive.
00:37:37Now she has someone who truly stands by her.
00:37:40You will never bleed us again.
00:37:43What do you think you're doing?
00:37:44I'm petitioning the Church of the Seven Gods, right now, to dissolve this marriage built on lies.
00:37:50I will take back every last coin I brought into it.
00:37:55Dissolve the marriage?
00:37:56You're dreaming, you sickly wretch!
00:37:59Name one law that lets you break this contract single-heartedly!
00:38:03Continental Marriage Law, Article 3.
00:38:06A husband who keeps a mistress and schemes to steal his wife's dowry is in severe breach.
00:38:12She can demand arbitration and reclaim every piece of her private estate.
00:38:16If the assets get clawed back, there's no point marrying Serafina.
00:38:19Not my problem.
00:38:21I'm not touching this mess.
00:38:22If the assets are taken, my title as heiress is just an empty shell.
00:38:25Sister, who do you think you're scaring?
00:38:28So what if father broke the contract?
00:38:30Continental Property Law is crystal clear.
00:38:32The day your mother married in, every asset, every ship, it all transferred to father's name.
00:38:37And father signed it all over to me yesterday, as my dowry.
00:38:41No matter how clever you are.
00:38:44Everything you gave this northern savage, by law, you stole it from me.
00:38:47None of it was ever yours.
00:38:55Your, your, your holiness.
00:38:59Father!
00:39:01Grandfather!
00:39:02My daughter!
00:39:03My granddaughter!
00:39:09My daughter, you've suffered so.
00:39:12You left with High Court's finest dowry.
00:39:15Your letters said you were well.
00:39:16All these years, and this is what he's done to you.
00:39:19Father!
00:39:19He intercepted every messenger raven.
00:39:21I thought you'd abandoned me.
00:39:23John!
00:39:25You swore an oath.
00:39:26You claim those rumors of bastard daughters and mysteries were slander from your enemies.
00:39:31Your holiness, let me explain.
00:39:33It's all a misunderstanding.
00:39:35This ungrateful daughter.
00:39:37Explain what?
00:39:38How you handed Mother's entire High Court dowry to Julian in exchange for trade rights and his protection.
00:39:44And that's not all.
00:39:46You seized every plea for help.
00:39:48You forged letters to High Court in Mother's name, filled with lies.
00:39:52You made Grandfather believe we were cold, arrogant, that we despised him.
00:39:57You trapped us so nothing would stand in the way of your schemes.
00:40:02Grandfather, it wasn't just treasure.
00:40:04He planned to hand me to Julian as his mistress, hidden in shame.
00:40:08In his eyes, we were never family, just goods to be traded.
00:40:12John!
00:40:12You dared slander my girls with lies and profane your sacred oath by the seven gods.
00:40:18I declare Isabella's marriage to John is dissolved.
00:40:22All gold, granaries, and fleets from High Court shall be reclaimed once.
00:40:28No!
00:40:28Your Holiness!
00:40:29We're family!
00:40:30You can't do this!
00:40:31You'll destroy my kingdom!
00:40:33You destroyed yourself with your own greed and shame.
00:40:37Father!
00:40:38What are you doing?
00:40:39Your Holiness!
00:40:39It's all this viper's doing.
00:40:41It's her fault.
00:40:41Years ago, I was drunk.
00:40:43Her mother crawled into my bed, seduced me.
00:40:46All these years, she whispered poison in my ear, turned me against Isabella and her daughter.
00:40:51John!
00:40:51You liar!
00:40:53You wanted me for my youth and beauty.
00:40:55You chose to keep me!
00:40:57Shut up!
00:40:58If you hadn't bewitched me, I'd never have neglected my noble wife!
00:41:01Isabella, I was wrong!
00:41:03I've always loved you!
00:41:05Please forgive me!
00:41:06And day, if you stay, I'll banish this wretch and her spawn from the capital!
00:41:11Love, you put a price on us like cargo.
00:41:13Did you think this day would never come?
00:41:15Where was your love when we froze in that side hall?
00:41:18When we couldn't even get moldy bread?
00:41:20You spent grandfather's money on your mistress.
00:41:22Then try to sell me to Julian as his mistress for trade rights.
00:41:26A beast who sells his own flesh and blood has no right to speak of love.
00:41:30Easy now.
00:41:31It's not worth making yourself ill over.
00:41:35Keep your filthy hands off.
00:41:36Come near my wife or her mother again, and I'll cut them off and feed them to the wolves.
00:41:48Take your mistress and get lost.
00:41:51Go back to your empty kingdom.
00:41:55Grandfather, now that everything's settled, we'll take what's ours and leave at once.
00:42:01Good girl.
00:42:01Let's go home.
00:42:02No, I can't let them leave.
00:42:06Elowen has the witch's power.
00:42:07Alaric commands the Black Riders.
00:42:09If those two unite, there's no place left for me on this continent.
00:42:13They'll come back and crush my kingdom!
00:42:16Alaric!
00:42:17Don't you dare walk away!
00:42:20Jewel me!
00:42:21Face me like a true knight, if you dare!
00:42:24Julian, have you lost your mind?
00:42:27You're no match for him.
00:42:28Shut up!
00:42:29Alaric, be a man and accept!
00:42:31If you win, I swear on the crown, I'll never set foot in the north again.
00:42:34I'll never come near Elowen.
00:42:35But if you lose, Elowen and all the wealth stay with me.
00:42:39Fine.
00:42:40I'll grant your wish.
00:42:42At the Seaside Arena.
00:42:56Get up!
00:42:58That's all you've got?
00:43:00If you dare challenge me.
00:43:04Alaric!
00:43:05Don't be so arrogant!
00:43:10Watch out!
00:43:16All fair in war.
00:43:17The only one dying today is you!
00:43:21Seems I've been too merciful.
00:43:31What's happening?
00:43:33Why did the sky go dark?
00:43:42Weather Control!
00:43:44You're the son of the storm!
00:43:46You wield divine power!
00:43:52Don't, don't, don't kill me!
00:43:54Kill you?
00:43:55You dirty my blade.
00:44:00Remember your oath.
00:44:02Set foot in the north again, and next time it'll be your head.
00:44:11You're the son of the storm?
00:44:14I prefer another title.
00:44:17Elevon's husband.
00:44:21Your Highness!
00:44:22Julian!
00:44:24Are you all right?
00:44:26Gone.
00:44:26All of it.
00:44:27The throne, the fortune, even my dignity.
00:44:30Your Highness!
00:44:31Don't do this!
00:44:33So what if that wretch Elwen took the grain?
00:44:35We don't have her witchery, but we've still got the dragon tree!
00:44:39The dragon tree, Mother Grove, still stands.
00:44:42Endless fruit to trade for grain and gold across the continent.
00:44:45We won't lose!
00:44:46Why won't he answer me?
00:44:47Does he think I'm useless now?
00:44:49Will he go back on his word?
00:44:51Pass over me for queen?
00:44:53No, I can't lose my chance.
00:44:56As long as the dragon tree bears fruit, I'm still queen.
00:45:04What is this?
00:45:06You've got some nerve to serve pig slop to the future royal consort.
00:45:11Miss Serafina, this is all the kitchen has left.
00:45:14Nonsense!
00:45:16Where's my North Sea silver cod?
00:45:18Go trade some dragon tree fruit for it.
00:45:20One fruit buys a whole cartload of premium ingredients.
00:45:23My lady, we can't!
00:45:25The dragon trees!
00:45:27They've stopped bearing fruit!
00:45:32What did you just say?
00:45:33They were supposed to bear fruit again in a week!
00:45:36Your Highness, it's not just the fruit.
00:45:38All the dragon trees have lost leaves.
00:45:41The trunks, they're shriveled like dead wood.
00:45:44Isabella's gone.
00:45:45No one to nurture the dragon trees.
00:45:47This time, they're not coming back.
00:45:51What do I do?
00:45:53Impossible!
00:45:54Take me there!
00:45:55Now!
00:46:00Alaric, look at this tree.
00:46:02Doesn't look like much now.
00:46:04But if I tend to it well come next spring, it'll bear fruit.
00:46:08Tiny ones, but the purest life the barons have ever seen.
00:46:11Then take it to the Northlands.
00:46:13Purest snow water in the world.
00:46:15Anything you raise will thrive.
00:46:17I thought I'd spend my whole life in that cage.
00:46:20Until I found you.
00:46:22I love you, Elwavin.
00:46:28Miss, all the dragon trees have dried out.
00:46:32They're beyond saving.
00:46:33Shut up!
00:46:34Who told you to speak?
00:46:36Seraphina, this is your so-called dormancy?
00:46:38And this is the revival you promised me?
00:46:41Your Highness, don't worry.
00:46:43The dragon trees do this every year.
00:46:45They wither completely, then come back.
00:46:47It's called metamorphosis.
00:46:49Metamorphosis?
00:46:50Does this look like metamorphosis to you?
00:46:53It's dead wood.
00:46:54You dare feed me lies?
00:46:55No dragon tree fruit, no betrothal.
00:46:57We're done.
00:46:58Go!
00:46:58Go find me the best gardeners in the kingdom!
00:47:00There gotta be someone can save these trees!
00:47:03Princess, it's not the gardener you need.
00:47:06It's me.
00:47:08Who are you?
00:47:09I bring gifts of darkness.
00:47:11Pay my price, and the dead shall bloom.
00:47:15If it brings the dragon trees back, I'll pay anything!
00:47:22They're alive!
00:47:23They're really alive!
00:47:25I knew it!
00:47:26I am the true Blessed Maiden!
00:47:29Let's see who would stand in my way now!
00:47:34This is its last spark of life.
00:47:36Push any further, it'll turn to ash.
00:47:39No coming back.
00:47:41Enough!
00:47:41It just needs to look real.
00:47:43That's all I need.
00:47:43I want the entire continent to witness it.
00:47:45I am the true Blessed Maiden, and Julian will be mine.
00:47:59But what you don't know is you're paying with your youth for everything.
00:48:04Almighty Spirit of the Forest, go, claim your power.
00:48:19Damn, bird!
00:48:20Get lost!
00:48:24Your beauty was the offering.
00:48:27This is only the beginning.
00:48:29You will pay the price.
00:48:36Well, well.
00:48:38If it isn't the first princess.
00:48:40What?
00:48:41Jealous my dragon trees are thriving?
00:48:42You use dark magic to drain their life.
00:48:45All for your vanity!
00:48:47As long as they bear fruit.
00:48:48Who cares how?
00:48:52My mother gave everything to these trees, and you've destroyed it all!
00:49:04How?
00:49:06They were full of fruit moments ago.
00:49:08How can they all be dead?
00:49:09What the hell is this?
00:49:11You said you were the Blessed Maiden!
00:49:12You said they were restored!
00:49:14It was her!
00:49:15Elven!
00:49:16She was the one who tampered with them!
00:49:20If you hadn't drained this grove dry, there was still a chance.
00:49:23With patience and care, it would have taken root again.
00:49:27What?
00:49:28It could actually have been revived?
00:49:30But you used forbidden dark magic, all for your petty vanity.
00:49:34This entire grove was turned into a sacrifice.
00:49:37Drained every drop of essence you spent a thousand years building.
00:49:40It can never come back now!
00:49:42Lies!
00:49:42You're jealous!
00:49:43You just want to slander me!
00:49:45Come out, witch!
00:49:46Tell this madwoman how powerful your magic is!
00:49:49Tell them how you brought dead trees back to life!
00:49:51See?
00:49:51A real forest witch!
00:49:53Her power is far beyond your little tricks!
00:49:56This error.
00:49:57Why does it feel so familiar?
00:49:59Like someone from the portrait mother's study.
00:50:09Princess Isabella!
00:50:11I finally avenged you!
00:50:13Avenged?
00:50:14What do you mean?
00:50:15I was handmaid to the first princess of High Court.
00:50:18Your mother!
00:50:19Isabella!
00:50:20I was the one who arranged your parents' match.
00:50:22And at the critical moment, I was the one who laked word, which is how the princess ended up bound
00:50:26to this wretch!
00:50:27I am the reason you suffered, princess!
00:50:29It was me!
00:50:30I took the dragon tree's last drop of energy.
00:50:33The princess life essence, I'd rather destroy it than leave any for these beasts.
00:50:36You lied to me!
00:50:37You said you'd help me secure my position, you damn lunatic!
00:50:43Princess, I acted on my own!
00:50:45I know I wronged you!
00:50:47Let me give it all back!
00:51:00It's possible!
00:51:02Dragons are actually real!
00:51:04No!
00:51:04I don't believe it!
00:51:05This country's real!
00:51:07That's the guardian dragon from the legends when Isabella married me!
00:51:13Dragons haven't been seen in 30 years!
00:51:15Where did this one come from?
00:51:17Elvin, this is the dragon your grandfather left behind.
00:51:20Your father lied to me.
00:51:21I gave up taming the blue dragon to save this kingdom.
00:51:24But he stole my power, fed it to his mistress and his ambition!
00:51:30Seraphina, all that power I gave you, and you're still a joke!
00:51:34Shut up!
00:51:35All of you, shut up!
00:51:37Give me back the dragon tree!
00:51:39It's mine!
00:51:41This kingdom's riches are all mine!
00:51:43How dare you take it by me!
00:51:48Die!
00:51:49Once you're dead, that dragon is mine!
00:51:59This ends now.
00:52:01Elowen, there's nothing left here worth holding on to.
00:52:07Don't look back.
00:52:08The trash back there isn't worth a second thought.
00:52:11Let's go.
00:52:20Elowen!
00:52:21I was wrong!
00:52:23I was so wrong!
00:52:29Think you can leave?
00:52:31You'll all die on this road.
00:52:39Serafina, it was all pointless.
00:53:00Mother, our family has a legacy with dragons.
00:53:03Why have I never felt their presence?
00:53:05Elowen, when your grandparents married, they had the chance to tame dragons.
00:53:09A bond dragon egg had already been nurtured in our family.
00:53:12But to protect me as a child, they gave up the great legacy of dragon taming.
00:53:17Severed their bond with dragon hid.
00:53:19They spent half their lives growing dragon trees instead.
00:53:22Not just to keep our family alive, but to preserve the last thread between humans and dragon hid.
00:53:28No wonder Grandfather said it was his life's work.
00:53:31My child, there's always been something weighing on you.
00:53:34Why you were born without a companion dragon, am I right?
00:53:37Yes.
00:53:39In a world that judges you by blood, it made me feel abandoned by the gods.
00:53:43Because dragons aren't a cold gift of bloodline.
00:53:46They're born from love.
00:53:48Your father never truly loved me.
00:53:50That marriage was nothing but schemes and ambition.
00:53:53A birth dragon only awakens when both parents share pure love.
00:53:59You were born without a dragon.
00:54:01That was never your fault.
00:54:03But things are different now.
00:54:06The love between you and Alaric, that's the richest soil there is.
00:54:10If you have children one day, they'll be born with their own bond dragon.
00:54:14Bond dragons.
00:54:15Are they free to choose as they will?
00:54:17Yes.
00:54:18A dragon's companionship and taming were never forced.
00:54:20They answer only to the call of love.
00:54:23So what I was missing wasn't blood.
00:54:26It was love.
00:54:26And now I have it all.
00:54:29Here, a little more to the left.
00:54:33Um, yes, perfect.
00:54:36So this is the home you dreamed of?
00:54:39Even brighter than I imagined.
00:54:43Yes, I want it bright and comfortable.
00:54:46The scheming, the games.
00:54:48All behind us.
00:54:51From today, this is our sanctuary.
00:54:56Elowen.
00:54:57Our home is already perfect.
00:54:59So, what are you getting at?
00:55:01Don't you think this place is missing something?
00:55:04A little more laughter is what I mean is don't you want a little Elwyn of our own?
00:55:08A little Elowen-y?
00:55:09You'd like that, wouldn't you?
00:55:11I'll be the best father in the world.
00:55:13And I'll protect you both.
00:55:15Forever.
00:55:16No way.
00:55:17Having a baby is hard work.
00:55:18Might wear me out completely.
00:55:20I just want to enjoy this peace we fought so hard for.
00:55:23Seems I'll have to try a little harder.
00:55:25To change your mind.
00:55:30Ha ha ha ha.
00:55:41Hungry?
00:55:42I had this made southern style for you.
00:55:44Try it.
00:55:46Elowen.
00:55:46Alaric.
00:55:47I have good news.
00:55:49Deep beneath the Northland snow, I found a true remedy.
00:55:53Arctic living water.
00:55:54You know, back in the South, our people had to give their life essence to keep the dragon
00:55:59trees alive.
00:56:00Your grandmother.
00:56:01She spent years shielding me and tending the grove, until she was drained of all life.
00:56:07Mother, I remember we always had to choose, the trees or our children.
00:56:12And dragon taming drains us just the same.
00:56:15Our entire lives, shackled by this curse.
00:56:19But snow nurtured by the northern allies.
00:56:22It's the purest vessel in the world.
00:56:25It can replace our life essence.
00:56:27True nourishment for the dragon trees and all dragon kind.
00:56:38It's real.
00:56:40No one has to be sacrificed.
00:56:43Ever again.
00:56:44The Northlands will never beg another kingdom for grain again.
00:56:50Give it to me!
00:56:51Give me the meat!
00:56:52And the dragon tree fruit, too!
00:56:54Why do you get bread and I get nothing?
00:56:56Fuck off!
00:56:57This is all your fault!
00:57:02Back off!
00:57:04You filthy peasants!
00:57:05Get your hands off me!
00:57:06Please, have mercy!
00:57:08We're starving!
00:57:08Please, your majesty, just a scrap of food will do anything!
00:57:12By decree of the Lord of the Northlands, your names have been officially registered as the most unwelcome persons in
00:57:18all the Northlands.
00:57:19What?
00:57:20I'm her father!
00:57:21Every leaf, every creature in the Northlands is under the Lord's eye.
00:57:25Be advised, you are hereby forbidden to enter the Northlands.
00:57:29The Northlands are thriving!
00:57:31Why can't we go in?
00:57:32We're nobility!
00:57:37Now and forever, huh?
00:57:39The arrogance of Elwan!
00:57:42Don't think you've won!
00:57:43Half her blood is mine!
00:57:45She'll never escape me!
00:57:47Mark my words!
00:57:48One day, she'll crawl back begging!
00:57:52She'll kneel and welcome me back to my rightful place!
00:57:59Elevin, are you tired?
00:58:01Not when I'm looking at him.
00:58:04Look, doesn't he look just like you?
00:58:06Elevin, I kept my promise.
00:58:08These green lands, every mile, they're all yours.
00:58:11The new dragon tree grove, the rolling pastures, this is your domain.
00:58:17And the safest refuge I could ever give you.
00:58:20Here.
00:58:21I'll never have to fear losing everything again.
00:58:29Let me burn it for you.
00:58:31No.
00:58:32Let me see how pathetic he's become.
00:58:37He says he misses his daughter.
00:58:39Wants me to bring gold and call him my only family.
00:58:48How much longer do we have to live like this?
00:58:51Does he think there's still a bond between us?
00:58:54As father and daughter?
00:58:55The past is ash now, Elevin.
00:58:58Our future's only just begun.
00:59:11Ready?
00:59:12The whole Northlands is watching their sovereign ride out.
00:59:15Who'd say no?
00:59:28Grandfather will be so surprised to see us.
00:59:30We come to him with honour.
00:59:32That's what he'd want to see.
00:59:45Grandfather, we're home.
00:59:46Good.
00:59:47Good.
00:59:48You're home.
00:59:49That's all that matters.
00:59:51You conquer our future day.
00:59:55Your fate will be above.
01:00:03Jump up.
01:00:04Good.
01:00:05Good.
01:00:06Hey.
01:00:07Good.
01:00:07What Janic?
01:00:07Good.
01:00:07Good.
