00:00:04I finally got the 10,000th. Elias will be so pleased.
00:00:15Elias, the 10,000th level 8 essence. Today's the day you take human form.
00:00:23You have no idea how dangerous it was.
00:00:34We can form the bond now, can't we? Thank you, sister.
00:00:41Thanks to 10 years of your devotion, we couldn't have bonded without you.
00:00:52Supreme essence. How dare you keep this from me all along.
00:00:57No! The academy's shield relies on it!
00:01:04No!

00:02:10To the day it all started
00:02:12Fire Dragon
00:02:13He boasts a pure bloodline
00:02:16Unseen in a decade
00:02:19Elaine Tidesong
00:02:20As our premier apprentice
00:02:22You are the only one fit to master him
00:02:26Though he is
00:02:27Not easily tame
00:02:29The Fire Dragon just refused her?
00:02:31He is of noble blood
00:02:32Proud beyond measure
00:02:33But there's no one better than Elaine
00:02:34Hilda!
00:02:35Step away!
00:02:35It's dangerous!
00:02:42Professor, I know I'm nothing compared to my sister
00:02:44It's just...
00:02:45I've never seen such a magnificent creature
00:02:47And he seems to...
00:02:49Like me more?
00:02:51Professor Talon
00:02:51Since their hearts are already entwined
00:02:53Let them have each other
00:02:55What?
00:02:55She's a mere initiate
00:02:56I will not bond with the Fire Dragon
00:02:58In fact, my choice lies...
00:03:03Feathered serpent!
00:03:04A lowly half-breed?
00:03:18Professor Talon
00:03:19Since the Fire Dragon refused to serve as my mount
00:03:21I shall take this little serpent
00:03:24Elaine, you're the premier
00:03:26Only the Fire Dragon is worthy of you
00:03:28Such lowly beast
00:03:29Isn't even worthy of being the Fire Dragon's lackey
00:03:32Professor, my decision stands
00:03:35Then it's done
00:03:36The Fire Dragon goes to Hilda
00:03:38In three months, the Beastware trials
00:03:40Will judge your progress with the utmost rigor
00:03:43Hilda, how could you do that?
00:03:45The Fire Dragon was meant for Elaine!
00:03:47Right!
00:03:47How can you steal from your own sister?
00:03:50I didn't...
00:03:51He chose me first
00:03:56Brilliant!
00:03:57With that Fire Dragon, she'll be our new premier by morning
00:03:59The newest initiate
00:04:01And yet she scoops the finest prize in the hall
00:04:03A treacherous beast
00:04:05Was never a good choice
00:04:07In my past life, Alias was just as arrogant
00:04:11He refused to forge the bond with me
00:04:16To feed his growth, I risked death on every hunt
00:04:21Hunting man-eaters
00:04:23Just to secure the beast essence
00:04:29He never once spared a glass for my wounds
00:04:32He only had eyes for what he needed
00:04:43When I was away, Hilda would come to him
00:04:45I knew
00:04:47I told myself she was just trying to help
00:04:53In this life, I won't let them betray me
00:04:57Not again
00:05:08Elaine?
00:05:11Elaine?
00:05:12Elaine?
00:05:13Professor?
00:05:19A familiar shares its master's magic
00:05:21You and Alias
00:05:23You would have made an unstoppable pairing
00:05:25But as you saw, Professor
00:05:27He has no desire to bond with me
00:05:29A beast's will can be guided
00:05:31I shall speak with Hilda again
00:05:33And have Elidus return to...
00:05:34Professor
00:05:34I seek no mighty instrument of power
00:05:37But a true companion
00:05:42He is not so bad
00:05:43After all
00:05:46Fine
00:05:47But remember, the beastward trials is in three months
00:05:50Academy's judgment is absolute
00:05:52Any beast that falls short of the standard
00:05:55Will be stripped from its master
00:06:11Oh, Elaine
00:06:12If you truly wanted Elias
00:06:14Why didn't you just ask?
00:06:16What?
00:06:16No
00:06:17Weren't you begging him?
00:06:19Hoping the Professor hand Elias back to you?
00:06:22Ridiculous
00:06:25My dearest sister
00:06:27I'd love to return him, but...
00:06:31He refuses to leave with you
00:06:33Drop the act, Hilda
00:06:34I have no interest in your precious mount
00:06:37Save that energy for the trials
00:06:39Speaking of the trials
00:06:41I have to apologize in advance
00:06:43When Alias makes me the new premiere
00:06:46Where will that leave you?
00:06:49I don't know
00:06:54This time
00:06:55Let me see how Hilda gets this bloodsucker to take human form without me
00:06:59Only if you can afford him
00:07:05Of course I can
00:07:06But can your little worm even survive three months?
00:07:32So you would defend your master, Alias?
00:07:34You just detest me
00:07:35Elaine!
00:07:36The Fire Dragon is Academy's most precious beast in a decade
00:07:39You will be punished if you hurt him
00:07:41So my serpent deserves to die?
00:07:43It's just a lowly half-breed
00:07:44There are hundreds like it in the Beast Pavilion
00:07:46No wonder last time
00:07:48He died at your hands in just a year
00:07:54Hilda
00:07:55Where is your familiar?
00:07:57It was too frail
00:07:58It couldn't survive
00:08:00I tried everything I could to save him
00:08:02What did you try?
00:08:04What potions?
00:08:05What healing spells?
00:08:06I...
00:08:06You're an apprentice of Beast Word Academy
00:08:09And you don't even know basic of beast care?
00:08:12How dare you question her?
00:08:24Alasius
00:08:24You never answered my summons
00:08:26Yet here you are for Hilda
00:08:27Have you forgotten who your master is?
00:08:29I share no bond with you
00:08:33You!
00:08:34It's my fault
00:08:35It's her I refuse to acknowledge
00:08:39Halt!
00:08:40At the Premier I speak for the Dean himself
00:08:43I order you to stay, Hilda
00:08:45As you wish, Hilda
00:08:46For your incompetence
00:08:48And the death of your familiar
00:08:49I sentence you to the Outer Valley
00:08:51To clear out the trolls
00:08:53No!
00:08:54I can't, can't do that
00:08:55Please, please
00:08:56Do not panic, Hilda
00:08:57I will come with you
00:08:58My flames will be your shield
00:09:00I gathered essence all on my own
00:09:02A thousand times
00:09:03All for you
00:09:04And you never came
00:09:05Not once
00:09:10As long as he chooses me
00:09:11And stands by my side
00:09:12I will treat him right in return
00:09:15A fallen Premier
00:09:16And a mutt from the gutter
00:09:17Perfect match
00:09:18I hope you can last five minutes
00:09:19In the trials
00:09:20Keep yourself and your mountain check, Hilda
00:09:22Next time
00:09:22It won't be just a splash of water
00:09:43Seven years after his death
00:09:45My husband came back to life
00:09:46At Flame Keep's Spring Feast
00:09:47Adrian, you black-hearted dog
00:09:49To feign your death upon the field
00:09:51Poor liar must have wept herself blind
00:09:53So what?
00:09:54She was utterly devoted to me
00:09:56The only reason I married her
00:09:57Was the gold her father brought me
00:09:59Otherwise, what makes a merchant's daughter like her
00:10:01Think she's worthy of climbing into my bed?
00:10:03If it weren't for her
00:10:04How could Leora have committed suicide
00:10:05After marrying my brother
00:10:06She should feel ashamed
00:10:08And beg for our forgiveness
00:10:09If not, I will not go back
00:10:11He'd been living easy all these years
00:10:12He had no notion
00:10:14That his desertion
00:10:14Had long since been laid bare
00:10:15Nor that White Flame Keep
00:10:17Had passed to another hand
00:10:18The day he faked his death
00:10:19But on that same day
00:10:21The Iron Cavalry of Sarn
00:10:22Smashed the gates of White Flame Keep
00:10:23In a single night
00:10:25He was branded a traitor
00:10:26And a deserter
00:10:27The city was put to the sword
00:10:29Nearly all were butchered
00:10:30Including my parents
00:10:32There was not even enough left of them
00:10:34For a proper burial
00:10:35Had Lord Roderick Harwin not descended
00:10:37From the sky on Dragonback
00:10:38I would not be standing in the ground
00:10:40And Torrin
00:10:41The old Lord of White Flame Keep
00:10:42The father Edren kept talking about
00:10:44On the day Lord Harwin pulled him from the ruins
00:10:47He confessed his son's treason
00:10:49And threw himself into the flames
00:10:51As for me
00:10:52I survived
00:10:53But I had remarried a long time ago
00:10:55Darren
00:10:56Was still jeering
00:10:57Playing to the crowd
00:10:58By the gods
00:10:59That's cold
00:11:00Your Laia was a beauty
00:11:02Were you not afraid
00:11:03She would run off
00:11:04With another
00:11:07Run off
00:11:07She was eight months pregnant
00:11:08What man of honor
00:11:10Would have her
00:11:10And she was crazy about me
00:11:12She was likely clutching my air
00:11:14To her breast every night
00:11:15Praying for my return
00:11:17She would never have left
00:11:18Given how hard Laia was obsessed with you
00:11:20She spent all these years
00:11:21Hiding like a rat
00:11:22And will die alone
00:11:23Still whispering your name
00:11:25Honestly she brought it on herself
00:11:27Shameless the way she begged for the marriage
00:11:29No wonder she found herself a widow so young
00:11:31I wager she's wasting away in her grief
00:11:33If she saw you now
00:11:34She'd probably lose her mind
00:11:37He didn't object to a single word
00:11:39I only slept with her once
00:11:41And she got pregnant
00:11:42What does that make her huh?
00:11:43Sounds like a whore to me
00:11:44Several men exchanged lead grins
00:11:46I locked my eyes on Edren's face
00:11:48And a coal fire began to burn in my veins
00:11:50Seven years ago
00:11:52He abandoned us all
00:11:53Old Torrin was forced to drag his alien body
00:11:55Into a suit of rusted armor
00:11:56And ride out to meet the war
00:11:57Mira and I were left behind in the war camp
00:12:00Huddled together
00:12:01Counting the last of our meager supplies
00:12:03And there was nothing we could do
00:12:09Torrin's forces were broken
00:12:10Again and again
00:12:12From the rear
00:12:13We heard the news from the front
00:12:14Each report worse than the last
00:12:16I heard my parents had been slain
00:12:18I heard my family's role
00:12:20And gathered over generations
00:12:21Had been looted
00:12:22On the distant ridgelines
00:12:24The warning beacons were lit
00:12:25One after another
00:12:27Until he came
00:12:28Down from the clouds
00:12:30Through the smoke and ash
00:12:31On the back of the dragon
00:12:32Lord Roderick Harlan
00:12:34The dragon lord
00:12:35Master of the Iron Flame Throne
00:12:37The keeper of the Iron Flame Throne
00:12:38Ruler of the Scarlet Sun Kingdom
00:12:40Lord of Flame Keep
00:12:41And the dragon's pine sea
00:12:42He buried the truth of Edren's treason
00:12:44In return
00:12:45I was wed to him
00:12:46The keeper of the Iron Flame Throne
00:12:48Held too much power
00:12:49For anyone to question him
00:12:50The official story was that
00:12:51Torrin and Miracast would have died
00:12:53Of a sudden sickness
00:12:54It was a lie that preserved
00:12:55What little honor their name had left
00:12:57Then someone in the crowd spotted me
00:12:59His face lit up
00:13:01He slapped Edren on the arm
00:13:02And pointed straight in my direction
00:13:06Laya?
00:13:06What are you doing here?
00:13:08Damn, Aedlin
00:13:08You're barely back from the grave
00:13:10And she's already tracked you down
00:13:11Someone's desperate
00:13:11Have you no shame?
00:13:13This feast is Lady Harwood's
00:13:15Were you even summoned?
00:13:16Do not disgrace me
00:13:17Before the guards drag you out
00:13:18The dragon lord
00:13:18Is insanely protective of his wife
00:13:20Lady Harwood doesn't like seeing people
00:13:22So he keeps her completely hidden away
00:13:23No one's ever seen her face
00:13:24This is the first feast
00:13:25She's ever hosted
00:13:26We all came tonight
00:13:27Hoping for a glimpse of her
00:13:28So, Leah
00:13:29I know you missed Edren
00:13:30But try not to ruin the feast
00:13:31For the rest of us
00:13:33You just crawled out of your grave, Sir Caitlid
00:13:36Worry about yourself
00:13:38White flame coal is not as you remember it
00:13:41Back then
00:13:42Torrin sent him to the war
00:13:43Hoping he'd earn some glory
00:13:44I remember my belly was so swollen
00:13:46It was hard to walk
00:13:47But I stood with him at the gates
00:13:49Terrified
00:13:49Begging him to stay safe
00:13:51The only news we received
00:13:52Was that he'd faked his death
00:13:53And fled the battlefield
00:13:54I was eight months pregnant
00:13:56Hauling arrows
00:13:57And tending to the wounded
00:13:58In the rear camp
00:13:59But the enemy broke
00:14:00And the eye was faster than anyone
00:14:02Feared
00:14:03Boys, a fat-bellied one
00:14:04Any of you had the taste?
00:14:06One of them kicked me hard
00:14:07I hit the ground
00:14:09Blood poured down my legs
00:14:11You don't have to make up
00:14:12Such pathetic lies
00:14:13To lure me back
00:14:14If loneliness has made you so desperate
00:14:16Beg me sweetly enough
00:14:17And I may grant you
00:14:18One night in my bed
00:14:20He saw the flicker of pain
00:14:21In my eyes
00:14:22And thought he'd hit the mark
00:14:23He looked proud of himself
00:14:25Why, Laya?
00:14:27Is that you?
00:14:28You poor thing
00:14:30Having to look after
00:14:31White Flame Ward
00:14:32All these years
00:14:33Aedlin, that is cruel
00:14:35You have spent so long
00:14:36Tending to us
00:14:37That poor Laya
00:14:38Has been left to grieve alone
00:15:08It was Leora Fane
00:15:09The least I can do
00:15:10To honor my brother's memory
00:15:11You will return
00:15:12And make the keep ready
00:15:13And if I hear so much
00:15:14As a whisper against her
00:15:15You will answer for it
00:15:16I had never heard
00:15:17Such shamelessness
00:15:18Uttered aloud
00:15:18That boy was obviously his
00:15:20His and Leora's
00:15:22Whom you wed is no concern of mine
00:15:23Sir Castwood
00:15:25I was wed again long ago
00:15:28Remarried?
00:15:28You think I give a damn?
00:15:30I didn't come back
00:15:30For a woman like you
00:15:31I heard the dragon egg
00:15:32At White Flame Key patch
00:15:33The ice dragon egg
00:15:34My family has guarded
00:15:35For generations
00:15:35I, Aedion of House Castwood
00:15:37Shall mount the ice dragon
00:15:38And rule as king
00:15:38And that dragon is my blood right
00:15:40Don't you come crying back
00:15:41To me when it happens
00:15:42Of course
00:15:43No wonder you came back now, Adrian
00:15:45You're about to become
00:15:46A dragon lord
00:15:46Even Lord Harwin
00:15:47Will have to bow to you then
00:15:48Won't he?
00:15:49Already picturing himself
00:15:50On the back of a great ice dragon
00:15:52And all I could think of was
00:15:53He has no idea
00:15:54That dragon hatched
00:15:55Seven years ago
00:15:56It hatched on the night
00:15:57White Flame Key was slaughtered
00:15:58It hatched while the
00:15:59Sarnriders were
00:16:00Sealing over me
00:16:01After my blood
00:16:02Soaked into the dirt
00:16:03My blood fell upon
00:16:04The ancient shell
00:16:05Already split with cracks
00:16:06Then it broke
00:16:07A little dragon
00:16:08Blew as winter ice
00:16:10And you
00:16:11The nerve you have
00:16:12Saying things like that
00:16:14If I remember correctly
00:16:15You were eight months pregnant
00:16:16What man of rank
00:16:18Would take a woman
00:16:18Swollen with another man's bastard
00:16:19Or'd you have to go crawling
00:16:20To some lowborn merchant
00:16:22Right
00:16:22You are common trash
00:16:24After all
00:16:24The men are
00:16:25Everything else again
00:16:26Mother when is father
00:16:27Coming back?
00:16:28These people are so loud
00:16:30You want me back that badly?
00:16:32You even brought the child
00:16:33With you?
00:16:35This child
00:16:36She should be seven
00:16:38By now
00:16:38Should she not?
00:16:40Why is she so slight?
00:16:42Liar
00:16:42Even if you're angry
00:16:43With Adrian
00:16:44You can't take it out
00:16:45On the child
00:16:46That's just cruel
00:16:47Just then
00:16:48Her son
00:16:49Came charging back
00:16:50He saw the unique
00:16:51Dragon scale pendant
00:16:52Around Alia's neck
00:16:53Give me that
00:16:55Mom said you
00:16:57And everything
00:16:57This woman has
00:16:58Belongs to me
00:16:59Give it back
00:17:03It's my birthday present
00:17:05It's not yours
00:17:06It all happened so fast
00:17:07I didn't have time
00:17:09To think
00:17:09I just shoved the boy back
00:17:11And scooped Alia
00:17:12Into my arms
00:17:12The boy fell on his back
00:17:14And let out a piercing
00:17:15Theatrical shriek
00:17:19You dare lay a hand
00:17:21On a child?
00:17:22Leora was right
00:17:23You're a bitch
00:17:25Who belongs in the slums
00:17:26Or a brothel
00:17:28I've known Adrian
00:17:29Since we were children
00:17:30When other kids
00:17:31Would corner me
00:17:32And bully me
00:17:32He was the one
00:17:33Who fought for me
00:17:34He'd get his face
00:17:35Bruised and bloodied
00:17:36But he would always
00:17:37Stand stubbornly
00:17:38In front of me
00:17:38Back then
00:17:39I thought he would
00:17:40Protect me forever
00:17:41And that I would love
00:17:42And cherish him forever
00:17:43But now
00:17:44In front of this whole crowd
00:17:45For another woman
00:17:47He had just humiliated me
00:17:48Without a second thought
00:17:49For my dignity
00:17:49He reeled from the slap
00:17:51His rage about to explode
00:17:54But when he saw
00:17:55My red-rimmed eyes
00:17:55He faltered for a second
00:17:57For the briefest instant
00:17:58He looked almost ashamed
00:18:00Leora seized the moment
00:18:01She clutched her son
00:18:02To her chest
00:18:03And let out a choked sob
00:18:04It seems Leia
00:18:05Doesn't want us to come back
00:18:07I always knew
00:18:08Mira preferred her
00:18:09But now that I'm a widow
00:18:11I suppose I shouldn't be surprised
00:18:12I'm not welcome
00:18:14Maybe we should just leave
00:18:16I left you in charge
00:18:17To see to my parents
00:18:19And the running of the keep
00:18:20How dare you waste the keep's money
00:18:21On useless things like this
00:18:23His eyes fell on the dragon scale
00:18:25Hanging around Alia's neck
00:18:27Wait
00:18:28Where did you get that dragon scale?
00:18:30That's
00:18:30That's a scale
00:18:31From my family's ice dragon
00:18:32That scale is mine by blood
00:18:34Mine
00:18:35You have the nerve
00:18:36To scavenge it and wear it?
00:18:37That belongs to me
00:18:38You've been squatting in White Flame Keep
00:18:41All these years
00:18:42You probably never even got to touch the egg
00:18:44Did you?
00:18:45Now the dragon has hatched
00:18:47And that scale is mine
00:18:49You're a commoner's daughter
00:18:51By what right do you touch it?
00:18:53I couldn't even be bothered to answer him
00:18:54I turned to a handmaiden
00:18:56Who had just rushed over
00:18:58Get the healer
00:19:01Being ignored sent Edrin over the edge
00:19:03He grabbed my arm
00:19:05It's a little scratch
00:19:06And you're gonna bother
00:19:08Lord Harwin's people over that?
00:19:11Liar
00:19:12What the hell is wrong with you?
00:19:13I've seven years alone
00:19:14Surely made you so bitter
00:19:15Are you just lonely?
00:19:17Is that it?
00:19:18Blaming me because you've had no one?
00:19:20Ask pardon as you ought
00:19:21I may yet come to your bed
00:19:24I have told you I am remarried
00:19:26You need to start worrying about yourself
00:19:31Fine
00:19:32Be stubborn
00:19:33I'll be waiting for the day
00:19:34You come begging me to take you back
00:19:36After the healer had cleaned and dressed Alia's cheek
00:19:39A deep wave of exhaustion washed over me
00:19:41I used to wonder
00:19:42For a long time
00:19:43If Edrin had a reason
00:19:44Some secret hardship
00:19:45That made him abandon his wife
00:19:46His unborn child
00:19:48And his home for seven years
00:19:50I remember the night before
00:19:51Miro walked into the throne room
00:19:53And took her own life
00:19:54I never should have gone to your father's house with Torrid
00:19:57I never should have promised you
00:19:59On that monster's behalf
00:20:00That he would be good to you
00:20:03We did this
00:20:05We ruined you
00:20:06Mira had always been so full of life
00:20:08A woman who refused to grow old
00:20:10From the day I married Edrin
00:20:12She treated me like her own daughter
00:20:13But in one single night
00:20:15The weight of it all had broken her
00:20:16Liar
00:20:18White flame keepers failed you
00:20:21If that animal ever comes back
00:20:23I give you my blessing to kill him yourself
00:20:25Now you go find a good man
00:20:28And don't you dare grieve for us
00:20:30In the seven years since I married Roderick Harwin
00:20:32I've rarely left the castle
00:20:34This was the day the stranger took Mira
00:20:36I hosted this feast to tell the spirit of the old woman
00:20:38Who loved me like a daughter that I was okay
00:20:40That I had finally moved on
00:20:43I took a breath
00:20:44Composed myself
00:20:45And walked back to the great hall
00:20:48Edrin and Leora were sitting together
00:20:50Acting for all the world like a happy couple
00:20:52I walked right past her table
00:20:54Without even a glance
00:20:57But as I passed
00:20:58Luke caught my hand
00:21:02I remember her
00:21:03That's Adrienne Castwood's wife
00:21:04The one who's been lonely for seven years
00:21:07Is she doing this to get his attention?
00:21:09How shameless
00:21:10Is she crazy?
00:21:11Making a scene at a feast by Lady Harwin?
00:21:13Liar!
00:21:14How could you?
00:21:16I know you're upset with Adrienne
00:21:18But you can't act like this at Lady Harwin's feast
00:21:22Are you trying to make Lord Harwin angry with Adrienne on purpose?
00:21:25Adrienne's expression turned lethal
00:21:27Liar!
00:21:28So you are here to cause trouble
00:21:29Seven years
00:21:30And you still haven't learned a thing?
00:21:38Before Father left to join the army
00:21:42He made a promise
00:21:44If I die on the battlefield
00:21:46You can find another man to marry
00:21:47Like the hunter on the edge of the village
00:21:50But that huntsman
00:21:51Vance
00:21:52Had a crippled leg
00:21:53And a scar that split his face in two
00:21:55One punch
00:21:56They said
00:21:57Could drop a full-grown tiger
00:21:59They also said
00:22:00He'd already beaten
00:22:01His first wife to death
00:22:03Marrying Mama to him
00:22:05Was the same as sending her to die
00:22:07Three years later
00:22:08Word came
00:22:09That Father was dead
00:22:11Grandma and the village elders
00:22:13Collected 20 silver coins from Vance
00:22:15They sold Mama off
00:22:16The news arrived on the day Mama was washing clothes by the river
00:22:20Deep winter
00:22:21The water was thick with floating ice
00:22:24Cold enough to cut bone
00:22:25Grandma wouldn't allow her to use hot water
00:22:28She said firewood was precious
00:22:30Not for a worthless brat who couldn't produce sons
00:22:36I'd haul extra firewood down from the mountain
00:22:39But it always went straight to Uncle Dale's fire pit
00:22:42If Mama or I used so much as one extra stick
00:22:46Grandma beat us and cursed us for three days straight
00:22:51I tried to help with the washing
00:22:53Mama waved me off
00:22:55The river's cold, little one
00:22:57Go play over there where the sun hits
00:22:59It's warmer
00:22:59In the dead of winter
00:23:01Midday sun was the only warmth we ever had
00:23:05When the laundry was done
00:23:06And we walked home
00:23:08Grandma and the village elders were already waiting
00:23:10They'd been in such a rush
00:23:12But not enough to walk down to the river and find us
00:23:15You take this long
00:23:17Wandering off who knows where
00:23:19Worthless brat
00:23:20Roy's barely gone and already your heart's drifting
00:23:29The soldiers sent word
00:23:30Roy's dead
00:23:31You killed him
00:23:32Every bit of bad luck he had started when he married you
00:23:35He's gone now so hurry up and remarry
00:23:37Don't stay here dragging our family down
00:23:40The bundle was small
00:23:41Two of Mama's worn out dresses
00:23:43Grandma didn't look like she was grieving her own son
00:23:46She looked the same as always
00:23:48Like someone had told her the village dog had died
00:23:50Mama said nothing
00:23:52She just held my hand tighter
00:23:55Grandma
00:23:57Can I bring my daughter with me?
00:23:59Mama wasn't crying much
00:24:00She was only worried about me
00:24:03See if the huntsman's willing to pay for her
00:24:07A girl this size
00:24:09Sell her to a broker and you'd get ten silver easy
00:24:12Mama's grip went tighter around my hand
00:24:15We both knew
00:24:15The moment she left
00:24:17Grandma would sell me
00:24:18She wouldn't keep me a single day longer than she had to
00:24:24Mama shouldered her bundle and held my hand
00:24:26Grandma and the village elders herded us to Vance's house
00:24:29He was inside sharpening a blade
00:24:31The scraping sound never stopped
00:24:33His bad leg jutted stiffly to one side
00:24:36It couldn't bend
00:24:37A scar ran from below his left eye
00:24:39All the way to the right corner of his mouth
00:24:41Like something had tried to split his face in half
00:24:44I stepped behind Mama
00:24:46Vance looked us over
00:24:48You people forced this woman on me
00:24:51Twenty silver is already too much
00:24:53Don't push it further
00:24:55He clearly hadn't wanted to take Mama
00:24:57Let alone me
00:24:58Dead weight she'd dragged along
00:25:00My Roy saved your life once
00:25:02Now he's dead
00:25:03And we're delivering this woman straight to your door
00:25:05You should be on your knees thanking us
00:25:07She wants to bring the girl along as your daughter
00:25:09You get a wife and a child all at once
00:25:11I'm not asking for much
00:25:13Another ten silver and we're done
00:25:15Most families earned two or three silver in a year
00:25:18Ten silver could buy a full acre of good farmland
00:25:22I was not worth that much
00:25:26People in the village said he was a silent man
00:25:28But when he opened his eyes and looked at you
00:25:31Really looked
00:25:32It could stop your heart cold
00:25:34Grandma shoved Mama hard
00:25:36Mama's thin frame nearly went down
00:25:38Mr. Hart
00:25:39My daughter eats very little
00:25:42She can work
00:25:43Please
00:25:44Could you give us somewhere to go
00:25:46Vance finally looked at me
00:25:47A long, unreadable frown
00:25:49Mama tugged at my hand
00:25:51I dropped to my knees beside her with a thump
00:25:55Call him something
00:25:56I stared up at Vance
00:25:58At the scar
00:25:59My lips shook
00:26:00Papa
00:26:01Vance went still
00:26:03The scar looked even more ferocious
00:26:05When his face froze like that
00:26:07Grandma's foot connected with my back
00:26:10Your real father's barely cold
00:26:12And you're already calling some stranger papa
00:26:14Worthless brat
00:26:16Just like your harlot mother
00:26:18Heart already belongs to someone else
00:26:20She kept kicking
00:26:21Let her finish
00:26:22And she'd stop
00:26:24Mama tried to crawl to me
00:26:25One of the village elders kicked her back
00:26:28It was always like this in Roy's household
00:26:30Mama couldn't save me
00:26:32She couldn't save herself
00:26:34Enough
00:26:34Vance stood
00:26:36He went inside
00:26:37He came back and threw ten silver coins onto the ground
00:26:41This girl is my child now
00:26:45I looked up at Vance
00:26:46Mama hadn't caught what he said
00:26:48I had
00:26:49Grandma grabbed the silver and turned to leave
00:26:52Vance blocked her
00:26:54He demanded a written contract
00:26:56Grandma refused
00:26:57Vance snatched the silver right back
00:26:59No contract
00:27:01No silver
00:27:02In the end
00:27:03With the village elders
00:27:05And the village head as witnesses
00:27:06The contract was signed
00:27:08Both Mama and I became part of Vance's household
00:27:12Mama put down her bundle
00:27:13And started working immediately
00:27:15If she stayed busy enough
00:27:17Maybe Vance would let me eat more
00:27:19Maybe he wouldn't hit me
00:27:21Vance's house was plain
00:27:22Three main rooms
00:27:24A hall in the center
00:27:25A bedroom on each side
00:27:27Only one bedroom had a bed
00:27:29The other was empty
00:27:30Mama led me to the woodshed
00:27:32The firewood was stacked clean
00:27:34The floor was tidy
00:27:36Mama shifted some wood
00:27:37And found a board
00:27:38She built me a rough bed out of it
00:27:42Don't be afraid, little one
00:27:48Mama, I'm not afraid
00:27:50At Roy's house
00:27:52It had always been the same
00:27:53When Father was home
00:27:55He'd say I was in the way
00:27:56Always getting between him and Mama
00:27:58When they were trying for a son
00:28:00He'd chase me to the woodshed
00:28:02Roy's woodshed was filthier than this
00:28:04Rats, snakes
00:28:06Frozen solid in winter
00:28:08A furnace in summer
00:28:09I'd survived all of it
00:28:11Mama held me against her chest
00:28:13Maybe once I give him a son
00:28:15Things will ease up
00:28:17I said nothing
00:28:18I'd long suspected
00:28:19Father's cruelty toward Mama
00:28:21Had nothing to do with sons
00:28:24Mama, why did Father want you to remarry Vance?
00:28:27Before he left
00:28:29Father had kept Mama on a tight leash
00:28:31Wouldn't let her leave the village
00:28:33Wouldn't let her look up when she passed a man
00:28:36Grandma would curse her for it too
00:28:38Said she was out there tempting people
00:28:40Mama's bitter laugh stayed locked in her throat
00:28:44Because
00:28:46Vance was the only one who could pay that much
00:28:51She didn't finish
00:28:52She didn't need to
00:28:54Father had sent Mama here to die
00:28:57Father had been planning to sell Mama
00:29:00Even before he left
00:29:01He knew he wasn't coming back
00:29:03He made sure Mama would have nowhere left to go
00:29:05I'd worked this out some time ago
00:29:07Not because I was clever
00:29:09They'd been obvious about it
00:29:11The whole village talked
00:29:12Not long after we arrived
00:29:14Vance came back carrying armfuls of thick wooden boards
00:29:17He disappeared into the empty west bedroom
00:29:20Steady hammering rang out
00:29:22One blow after another
00:29:24Mama stood outside the door
00:29:25She wanted to ask where the food stores were
00:29:28So she could start dinner
00:29:29But she didn't dare
00:29:30After a while
00:29:31Vance came back out
00:29:33He saw us both still standing there
00:29:35He frowned
00:29:37Something you need?
00:29:38His voice was rough
00:29:39I flinched
00:29:40And nearly stepped back
00:29:41But we were alone here
00:29:43Mama and me
00:29:44If I stepped back
00:29:45She'd be standing by herself
00:29:47I held my ground
00:29:48I took Mama's hand
00:29:50And stood beside her
00:29:51Vance noticed
00:29:52Something shifted in his brow
00:29:54Mama asked carefully
00:29:55I-I want to ask
00:29:58It's nearly dinner time
00:29:59If you get the grain out
00:30:01I can cook
00:30:02You've worked hard all day
00:30:03You should eat
00:30:04Vance frowned harder
00:30:05He looked us up and down
00:30:07Like we'd said something strange
00:30:08Then he pointed at the kitchen
00:30:10In there
00:30:14The key
00:30:17Vance's frown deepened
00:30:18He walked over
00:30:19And kicked the kitchen door open
00:30:21He looked back at us
00:30:22I had the feeling
00:30:24He was asking with his eyes
00:30:26Whether we were simple
00:30:27No lock
00:30:28No key
00:30:29Roy's kitchen was always locked
00:30:31The grain
00:30:32The oil
00:30:33The salt
00:30:33The eggs
00:30:34Everything in locked cabinets
00:30:36Grandma would measure out
00:30:37Exactly what was needed
00:30:38For each meal
00:30:39Set it on the counter
00:30:40Then stand there
00:30:41Watching Mama cook
00:30:42Drop a single grain of rice
00:30:44Get a lecture
00:30:45That lasted half a day
00:30:46She called us starving ghosts
00:30:48Said we never worked
00:30:50Only ate
00:30:51She was afraid
00:30:52We'd steal food
00:30:53Mama and I
00:30:54Stepped into the kitchen
00:30:55Grain
00:30:56Oil
00:30:56Salt
00:30:56All of it
00:30:57Just sitting out
00:30:58In the open
00:30:59Mama stood there
00:31:00For a long moment
00:31:01She glanced toward Vance
00:31:03He'd already gone back out
00:31:05She was almost afraid
00:31:06To touch anything
00:31:07She was afraid
00:31:08She'd cook it wrong
00:31:09And he'd come back angry
00:31:11Beat her
00:31:12Like Grandma
00:31:13She was afraid
00:31:13Of being accused
00:31:14Of stealing
00:31:17Eventually
00:31:17Mama cooked
00:31:18The food sat on the table
00:31:20The two of us
00:31:21Stood in the courtyard
00:31:22Neither of us
00:31:23Moved toward it
00:31:24Vance came back
00:31:25Carrying two large
00:31:26Wicker baskets
00:31:27He saw the food
00:31:28On the table
00:31:29He saw us
00:31:30Standing there
00:31:30His frown deepened
00:31:32He washed his hands
00:31:33Sat down
00:31:34Saw us still standing
00:31:35He told us
00:31:36Gruffly to sit
00:31:37He scooped himself
00:31:38Less than half
00:31:39A bowl of rice
00:31:40Not enough food
00:31:42Cook more tomorrow
00:31:44He ate fast
00:31:45Loud and efficient
00:31:47Finished in minutes
00:31:48But barely ate half
00:31:49Of what was there
00:31:50Done
00:31:51He sat sharpening
00:31:52His wood cutting knife
00:31:53Watching us eat
00:31:54Mama hesitantly
00:31:56Filled my bowl
00:31:56We ate
00:31:57Both keeping our eyes
00:31:58On him
00:31:59I noticed it quickly
00:32:00When I ate fast
00:32:01He looked away
00:32:02When I slowed down
00:32:03And tried to set
00:32:04My chopsticks down
00:32:05He frowned
00:32:05He was telling me
00:32:07To keep eating
00:32:07Mama and I
00:32:08Finished every last bite
00:32:10Then we sat waiting
00:32:11To be scolded
00:32:12Or hit
00:32:13Vance put the knife down
00:32:15Wash up and get some sleep
00:32:17You've worked enough today
00:32:20Mama hurried to heat the water
00:32:22She waited for Vance
00:32:24To finish washing
00:32:25Then, after a moment
00:32:26Washed her own face
00:32:28And hands and feet
00:32:29It's the first day
00:32:32If I'm clean
00:32:33He'll find less to resent
00:32:34She muttered it
00:32:35While she scrubbed
00:32:36Eyes dim
00:32:37I used her leftover
00:32:39Warm water
00:32:39The heat spread up
00:32:41Through my hands
00:32:42And feet
00:32:42All at once
00:32:43So this was what
00:32:44It felt like
00:32:44To wash with hot water
00:32:46No wonder
00:32:47Grandma and Uncle Dale
00:32:48Always demanded
00:32:49Extra buckets in winter
00:32:50I went to the woodshed
00:32:52For the night
00:32:52Mama stopped me
00:32:53At the door
00:32:54Cover your ears
00:32:56No matter what
00:32:57You hear tonight
00:32:58Don't come out
00:32:59Pretend you heard
00:33:00Nothing
00:33:01You understand?
00:33:02I nodded hard
00:33:03I knew
00:33:04Once
00:33:05When father
00:33:06Was hurting mama
00:33:07I'd run in crying
00:33:08And begged him
00:33:09To stop
00:33:09He'd kicked me
00:33:10So hard
00:33:11I ached
00:33:11For half a year
00:33:12This time
00:33:13I wouldn't make a sound
00:33:14We both had to survive
00:33:15Stay alive
00:33:16And there was still hope
00:33:18Even if I didn't yet know
00:33:19What that hope looked like
00:33:22Then the woodshed door
00:33:24Was kicked open
00:33:25Vance stood in the doorway
00:33:26Holding a lantern
00:33:27Staring at me
00:33:28Where I lay
00:33:29In the straw
00:33:30I shrank back
00:33:31Cold sweat
00:33:32Poured down my neck
00:33:34Once
00:33:34Father had come home
00:33:35Half drunk in the middle
00:33:36Of the night
00:33:37And walked into the woodshed
00:33:39He beat me nearly to death
00:33:40He said I was a burden
00:33:41My fault he had no son
00:33:43My fault he lost money
00:33:45Gambling
00:33:45Stop
00:33:46That night
00:33:46Mama grabbed the woodcutting knife
00:33:48And told him she'd take his life
00:33:50I'll kill you
00:33:50That was the only thing
00:33:51That saved me
00:33:52Here
00:33:52Vance was stronger
00:33:53Could he put me down
00:33:55In three kicks?
00:33:56But he wasn't drunk
00:33:57He wasn't angry
00:33:58He reached down
00:33:59And grabbed me under the arms
00:34:01Like he was picking up
00:34:02A stray chick
00:34:02He carried me into the west bedroom
00:34:05Mama was already standing there quietly
00:34:07The empty room wasn't empty anymore
00:34:09A wide wooden bed stood against the wall
00:34:12Worn
00:34:13But tidy
00:34:14Vance set me down
00:34:15He turned
00:34:16And walked back to his own east bedroom
00:34:18The door closed
00:34:19Within minutes
00:34:20His snoring came through the wall
00:34:22Mama and I stared at each other
00:34:26That night we slept restlessly
00:34:28But we slept warm
00:34:29I burrowed into the quilt
00:34:30And said quietly
00:34:31Mama
00:34:33It's so warm
00:34:34I had never been this warm in winter
00:34:36Not once
00:34:37And I'd eaten dinner
00:34:38My stomach was full
00:34:39This, I thought, was what being alive
00:34:41Was actually supposed to feel like
00:34:43Mama stroked my hair
00:34:45Little one
00:34:46You called him Papa today
00:34:48Do it again tomorrow
00:34:49Keep calling him that
00:34:51Okay
00:34:53Vance was already a better father
00:34:55Than Roy had ever been
00:34:56The meals got bigger after that
00:34:58And slowly
00:34:59Mama didn't dare increase the amount all at once
00:35:02She added a little each day
00:35:03Until she finally understood his appetite
00:35:06He ate a great deal
00:35:08Roughly as much as Mama and I put together
00:35:10But he never once stopped us from eating
00:35:12If we ate too little
00:35:14He'd frown
00:35:14He hunted
00:35:15Large catches he sold
00:35:17Sometimes he'd bring back a rabbit or a wild chicken
00:35:20And he'd have Mama stew it
00:35:22He ate half
00:35:23The rest went to us
00:35:24I had eaten meat three times in my life before that
00:35:27This was the fourth
00:35:29It was so good
00:35:30No wonder Grandma and Uncle Dale had always been so desperate for it
00:35:34Mama saved the extra pieces for me
00:35:36I ate without thinking
00:35:37Too happy to pace myself
00:35:39That night I woke in the dark with my stomach seizing up in cramps
00:35:43I rolled across the bed in ping
00:35:45Mama rubbed my belly
00:35:47It didn't help
00:35:49She ran outside and scraped ash from the bottom of the cooking pot
00:35:52Stirred it into water and brought it to me
00:35:55I took one sip and vomited everything up
00:35:59Vance burst through the door
00:36:01One look at me
00:36:02He wrapped me in the quilt
00:36:03Hoisted me onto his shoulder and ran
00:36:05Mama stumbled after him
00:36:06She didn't say a word
00:36:07He ran all the way to the village doctor's house at the edge of the road and kicked the door
00:36:11in
00:36:11The whole household lurched awake
00:36:13They started to complain
00:36:14Then they saw his face and went quiet
00:36:17The doctor checked my pulse
00:36:18Then asked what I'd been eating
00:36:20What did she eat?
00:36:21Over-aid
00:36:22Indigestion
00:36:23Nell's been underfed all her life
00:36:25Eat this much meat at once and her stomach can't manage it
00:36:28She'll be fine
00:36:29I'll give her something to bring it up
00:36:31Keep her warm
00:36:32Light food for a few days
00:36:33She'll recover
00:36:34She gave me something
00:36:35I vomited
00:36:36Loudly
00:36:37And at length
00:36:37The smell filled the whole room
00:36:39The doctor's husband muttered from the corner
00:36:41Never had good food her whole life
00:36:43Body can't handle it when she finally does
00:36:45Vance looked at him
00:36:47One hard stare
00:36:48He retreated to the back room
00:36:50I was humiliated
00:36:52Getting sick from eating too much meat
00:36:54Just like grandma had always said
00:36:56I was a bottomless pit with no sense
00:37:00Vance carried me home over his shoulder
00:37:02On the way back he said gruffly
00:37:05You've really never had meat before?
00:37:07I thought he was scolding me
00:37:10This was only the fourth time
00:37:12Before
00:37:13We only ever got a piece or two
00:37:16Grandma had never let us have even the broth
00:37:18He made a low sound
00:37:20Eat more often enough
00:37:22And this stops happening
00:37:24I was wrapped too tight in the quilt
00:37:25And didn't quite catch it
00:37:27The next few days I could only drink porridge
00:37:30Vance brought back millet
00:37:32He brought back brown sugar
00:37:33Millet and brown sugar were things
00:37:36Only new mothers got after childbirth
00:37:38A bowl or two
00:37:39A little sweetness stirred in
00:37:41I was getting a full bowl
00:37:43At every single meal
00:37:44I was eating better than mama had
00:37:47After giving birth to me
00:37:48Vance watched me eat every morning
00:37:51Until the color came back to my face
00:37:53When it did
00:37:54Something in his own expression
00:37:56Finally loosened
00:37:59He fixed the village doctor's front gate
00:38:01As payment for the house call
00:38:02Then he pulled the doctor back
00:38:04To check my pulse again
00:38:06Only when she said I was fully recovered
00:38:08Did he walk her out
00:38:09He said he was going up the mountain
00:38:11To track a big animal
00:38:13Might be gone several days
00:38:14He told mama to bake a stack of flatbreads
00:38:17For the road
00:38:17Mama kneaded the dough with lard
00:38:20And mixed in brown sugar
00:38:21The flatbreads came out golden and fragrant
00:38:24She pressed into his hands
00:38:25The thick insoles and padded cap
00:38:27She'd sewn over the past few days
00:38:29Vance took the flatbreads
00:38:31He looked at the insoles and the cap
00:38:32He looked up at mama
00:38:34Something in his eyes went soft
00:38:36New year's coming
00:38:37When I sell what I catch
00:38:38We'll go buy supplies
00:38:39Think about what you want
00:38:42Mama held my hand
00:38:43As we stood at the door
00:38:44To see him off
00:38:45His figure moved away from us
00:38:47Uneven but steady
00:38:49I couldn't help shouting after him
00:38:51Papa!
00:38:52Come home soon!
00:38:54Vance stopped
00:38:54He didn't look back
00:38:56He lifted a hand in our direction
00:38:58Go inside
00:38:59It's cold
00:39:03Mom!
00:39:04Over there!
00:39:09Impressive!
00:39:10My little fighter
00:39:15A storm is coming
00:39:16Leo
00:39:17Let's hurry inside
00:39:22Show yourself
00:39:38Show yourself
00:41:59C'est la femme en la chariot.
00:42:10Qui est-ce?
00:42:11L'est-ce qu'elle est Lady Léonis?
00:42:18L'hôphe à vous,
00:42:19la plus grande warrior de l'Athens.
00:42:21Et c'est Ria,
00:42:23même plus plus que les rumors se disent.
00:42:25Ma plaisir.
00:42:27C'est parti.
00:42:29Aujourd'hui,
00:42:30je peux enfin la finir
00:42:31de cette femme en la maison.
00:42:38La chique est servée.
00:42:41Ma, regarde.
00:42:42C'est la saison que j'ai préparé pour father.
00:42:45Léonis,
00:42:46c'est parti.
00:42:59C'est parti.
00:43:01C'est parti.
00:43:10C'est parti.
00:43:12C'est parti.
00:43:15C'est parti.
00:43:26C'est parti.
00:43:36C'est parti.
00:43:38Avalon, vous brez ceci avant de partir pour Troy.
00:43:42C'est un toast pour votre retour.
00:43:47C'est un sip.
00:43:48La goddess de la guerre a fait un banal sur l'alcool !
00:43:51Vous essayez de me faire de l'honneur ?
00:43:54Je ne veux pas dire ça.
00:43:55Pourquoi vous êtes-vous serving mon fils avec cette filtre ?
00:43:58C'est suffisant. Je suis juste ici pour vous dire ceci.
00:44:01Demain, la goddess de la guerre a fait un déjeuner en mon honneur.
00:44:04Je vais vous donner un bébé. J'ai une annoncement à faire.
00:44:07C'est sûr, mais nous n'avons pas les propres garments pour ça.
00:44:11L'alcool, c'est quoi que vous voulez. Je n'ai pas besoin de l'alcool à attendre.
00:44:14Dad !
00:44:17Il m'a dit qu'il m'a donné une surprise.
00:44:20Je savais qu'il ne m'a pas abandoné nous, même avec tout son son de l'alcool.
00:44:27Vous avez dit que vous avez fait de l'alcool aujourd'hui !
00:44:30Pourquoi vous n'avez pas fait de l'alcool ?
00:44:31Don't me dire que vous ne voulez pas vraiment pour elle.
00:44:36Listen to me, your family's gold bought the intelligence that won me this war.
00:44:41You also secured me the goddess' favour.
00:44:45That housewife is nothing to me.
00:44:48Then why invite her to the victory feast ?
00:44:52A quiet divorce is just boring.
00:44:54Tomorrow, I'll divorce her in front of every noble in the city.
00:44:57It'll be a public humiliation.
00:44:59Let that be my tribute to you.
00:45:02Now I see, you're truly wicked.
00:45:04But I like it.
00:45:13Let's go, Leo.
00:45:14We shouldn't be late for Father's victory feast.
00:45:17Yes, to the temple !
00:45:32It's her.
00:45:43You shall not touch him !
00:45:48Lina, bring us down.
00:45:53Lina !
00:45:54Lina !
00:45:55Search the streets !
00:45:56Find the woman with the silver owl ring !
00:45:59I must go to my mother, Athena.
00:46:02Helena has been found !
00:46:08To Commander Leonos !
00:46:10To Commander Leonos !
00:46:11Congratulations !
00:46:12A divine spear, gifted by the goddess of war herself.
00:46:15You are destined for greater things.
00:46:17She speaks the truth.
00:46:19The Awagreen wings, the title of supreme commander.
00:46:22Soon enough, you'll be dining on Olympias with the gods themselves.
00:46:28I am merely a humble servant of the goddess.
00:46:34My lords and ladies, I have been tasked to keep the victory feast in order.
00:46:38Please don't be reckless, is all.
00:46:41Of course, Captain.
00:46:42Of course.
00:46:42Commander, soon enough, you'll wed my sister and we'll be blood.
00:46:46When you ascend to Olympias, don't forget what's between you and me.
00:46:50Of course.
00:46:50We'll soon be brothers.
00:46:55Dad !
00:46:56Calon.
00:46:59Cairn, you said you had an announcement to make ?
00:47:01I do.
00:47:02Very important words.
00:47:03Just stay down here and watch.
00:47:04Honored guests, I have big announcements to make before Harold Winston and the goddess of war.
00:47:09First, I want to thank someone very important to me.
00:47:12Someone who has offered tremendous help along the way.
00:47:14No doubt it is Lady Leonos.
00:47:17She bore him an heir, willingly became a housewife, and even funded his battle out of her own pocket.
00:47:23It's more than that.
00:47:24I heard the gold needed for the army was earned from her endless hours at the loom.
00:47:29A woman like that, a man's got nothing left to want.
00:47:34Dad is going to talk about you.
00:47:36When I was nobody, she stood by me.
00:47:39Without her support, I would never be who I am today.
00:47:43She is the love of my life.
00:47:47Calon, not in front of a crowd.
00:47:49Now, allow me to introduce my one and only, the future wife of the Supreme Commander.
00:47:58Lady Rhea.
00:48:08Mom, did father make a mistake?
00:48:12Carillon's blood and sweat brought him where he is today.
00:48:14I just gave him a little push.
00:48:16Seven days from now, I will marry Rhea, in the vaulted palace granted by the goddess of war.
00:48:22Helena, when I come back with glory, I promise there will be a grand wedding.
00:48:27So grand that every soul in Athens will know that you are my wife, the love of my life.
00:48:39Rhea, meeting you is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:48:41I will make sure everyone in this realm knows that you, Rhea, is my wife.
00:48:48Carolyn, why are you doing this to us?
00:48:50Fine.
00:48:50Let me tell you why.
00:48:52The second thing I am announcing today is the end of our marriage.
00:48:55What?
00:48:55I am the mightiest warrior of Aths, my merit in blood. The goddess of war herself is granting me the
00:48:59Aurean wings.
00:49:00And you, you're a maid who happens to share my bed. You just don't get to be my wife.
00:49:04I'm not worthy. Have you lost your mind?
00:49:06My dowry paid for your armor, and I took care of your family so you could fight with peace of
00:49:10mind.
00:49:10You swore to the gods you'd give me a proper wedding. Where's all that promises?
00:49:14Shut your mouth!
00:49:16Weaving? Cooking? Raising a brat? I don't need any of that. Any woman could do that.
00:49:22Helena, you are nothing but a slave.
00:49:24What did you just say?
00:49:26Rita is the daughter of the wealthiest man in Greece. She brings me power, knowledge, armies.
00:49:31What did you bring me, Helena? Nothing but a baby.
00:49:35That's right. I am the one who bought the intelligence that won him the war.
00:49:39I secured his favor with the goddess of war, and I will be his wife, not you.
00:49:43Liar! You're but a spoiled child of a merchant! You've never met the goddess of war, and you did nothing
00:49:47to help him!
00:49:47That intelligence was mine! The victory feast! The wings! How dare you taking credit for my work!
00:49:52A lowborn housewife like you? You call me a housewife?
00:49:56You know I can wipe your entire bloodline out of existence whenever I want? You bitch!
00:50:04Have you completely lost your mind? How dare you disrespect my wife?
00:50:09Neil, apologize to Raya. Now.
00:50:16No?
00:50:20Father, please don't!
00:50:23She is nobody!
00:50:25That noble lady is your mother now.
00:50:27Hurry up! Call her mother!
00:50:29I hate you! Don't hurt my mom!
00:50:32You little brat.
00:50:34Where's your manor?
00:50:43No!
00:50:44No!
00:50:58Leo, are you hurt?
00:51:05You'd butcher your own flesh and blood just for gold and power?
00:51:08A bastard is still a bastard, even with my blood.
00:51:14Only Rima can bear me true airs worthy of the Lyanna's name.
00:51:18So be it.
00:51:20You did this to yourself.
00:51:22We are done.
00:51:28I will take everything back!
00:51:31Glaxa!
00:51:46Glaxa!
00:51:48Urgent call from the goddess of war!
00:51:50Gather the legion!
00:51:52We march on to the temple!
00:51:58Did you honestly think throwing a tantrum could ruin my victory feast?
00:52:02She couldn't handle being cast aside, so she's completely lost her mind.
00:52:06So pathetic.
00:52:07A housewife who spends her entire life around a man and now she's abandoned?
00:52:10No wonder she snapped.
00:52:12A low-blown peasant, thinking you can steal him from my sister.
00:52:16Herald Winston is arriving any minute.
00:52:18Let's see how long you can keep up this little act.
00:52:20Winston, if he hasn't arrived within the hour, I should have him dismissed.
00:52:24Show your respect!
00:52:25How dare you disrespecting the Herald!
00:52:28When Winston arrives, he'll have you executed!
00:52:32When he arrives, you shall be his first blood.
00:52:36How dare you!
00:52:38Wait.
00:52:39I want to see exactly what she thinks she can take back.
00:52:48I originally intended to hand this to you personally when you earned your kleos.
00:52:52But now, you are just not worthy.
00:52:56So the first thing I am going to take back is the Aruian wings!
00:53:01What?
00:53:02What?
00:53:10Jalavi!
00:53:23Run!
00:53:24They're after you!
00:53:25Run!
00:53:26And this pathetic bastard sister of mine is what you turned me down for?
00:53:31You simple-minded beast!
00:53:33If it wasn't the frost out of nowhere that killed my dragon, I would never have even considered you!
00:54:06This stupid animal may be a cur, but its flesh carries resistance to the froth.
00:54:12Solve it and consume its flesh.
00:54:13You will all inherit the resistance.
00:54:22You chose him, and yet, you failed him.
00:54:27Your whole existence is a disgrace to our family!
00:54:32Die, crock roach!
00:54:40As expected, this grey-maned bear of rather modest lingonagy has been left unchosen.
00:54:47And in that case, Bruggen, it seems you'll be bound to our lowest-ranking student, Emma.
00:54:54Bound?
00:54:54Did I survive?
00:54:56Wait!
00:54:57Am I back to the day when I was bound with Bruggen?
00:55:00So, Emma, though I suppose your choices are rather limited...
00:55:05Professor Rockweld, I'll take him.
00:55:08Laugh while you can.
00:55:09When the frost takes over everything in half a month, you will all be overwhelming with jealous.
00:55:16Wait!
00:55:22I'm taking the bear.
00:55:23You can bind with the dragon, sister.
00:55:26What is Fiona doing?
00:55:27The heir to the Drake family is always bind with dragons.
00:55:30Why would she go with anything else?
00:55:31And that's an Aurelian dragon.
00:55:33They appear only once in centuries.
00:55:35Fiona must be out of her mind to choose an inferior beast over that.
00:55:38Fiona, I must remind you that the selection of your bonded creature is not a trivial matter.
00:55:44It will affect not only your graduation, but also the limits of your future magical potential.
00:55:49Professor Rockweld, and that's precisely why Emma needs the dragon more than I do.
00:55:54My grades speak for themselves.
00:55:55I can handle myself regardless of what I bind with.
00:55:58But Emma, on the other hand...
00:56:00Look at her.
00:56:01She's already struggling.
00:56:03And on top of that, if she's paired with an inferior creature, I fear she may not graduate at all.
00:56:08A fine sentiment, Fiona.
00:56:10For a witch, power is secondary to character.
00:56:14And with a heart of gold like yours, you will go very far even if your bound creature is lesser.
00:56:20Well, Emma, don't you think you owe Fiona your gratitude?
00:56:24Um, thank you for the offer, Fiona.
00:56:26But this is really unnecessary.
00:56:28I quite like Bruggen, to be honest.
00:56:31Oh, come on, Emma.
00:56:32I'm trying to help you.
00:56:34Don't let your pride get in the way.
00:56:35No, it's really...
00:56:37Ouch!
00:56:44This...
00:56:44This is the unique way dragons bind with humans.
00:56:48This means the dragon chose me?
00:56:51Well, so much for it's really unnecessary.
00:56:54She refused it, then bound the dragon the moment she could.
00:56:57Shameless.
00:56:59That's an Anerian dragon.
00:57:01Some noble bloodline that appears once in centuries.
00:57:04If not for Fiona, she'd never have laid a hand on it.
00:57:07Lucky bastard.
00:57:10Lucky my ass.
00:57:12They have no idea.
00:57:14Indeed, Aurelian dragons possess extraordinary magical affinity.
00:57:20But their hatchlings are fragile in the cold.
00:57:26We shall...
00:57:27No!
00:57:28No!
00:57:29And that's exactly why last time it was killed in the frost on the first day.
00:57:36Thalrax!
00:57:38You gave up a dragon and took my bear.
00:57:42I see, sister.
00:57:45You also came back with your memories.
00:57:49Bruggen, I'm not worried about surviving the frost without you.
00:57:53But I'm worried...
00:57:54What if Fiona mistreats you?
00:58:02Don't worry.
00:58:03Bruggen got you.
00:58:12Our fist hump?
00:58:14He remembers.
00:58:15It means he's alright.
00:58:17Did he also come back with his memories?
00:58:20Last time, Fiona drove the others and torn Bruggen to pieces.
00:58:24He may look gentle and simple-minded.
00:58:27But Bruggen never forgets.
00:58:29This time, this is going to be fun.
00:58:33Are you done staring at him?
00:58:36Are you talking to me?
00:58:38Your skills, they are beautiful.
00:58:40Naturally.
00:58:41I am an Aurelian dragon.
00:58:43We do not choose lightly.
00:58:46You should feel honored, human, rather than getting distracted by lesser creatures.
00:58:52Fair enough, little one.
00:58:54But why me?
00:58:55That ferocious woman.
00:58:57Her soul reeks.
00:58:59I can smell it out.
00:59:00But yours?
00:59:02It smells rather delightful.
00:59:04In fact, it is the most agreeable in this room.
00:59:07And do refrain from calling me little one.
00:59:10You may address me as your majesty.
00:59:13Of course.
00:59:14Your majesty.
00:59:17All right, class.
00:59:19Copy this formation exactly as shown.
00:59:21Then speak the incantation.
00:59:24Voluntas Ligot.
00:59:26The bond will complete once you cast the spell.
00:59:29You may begin now.
00:59:41Where's my wand?
00:59:46I taught you the difference.
00:59:48Brugge, could you pass me my wand?
00:59:55Aqua.
01:00:01That's on me.
01:00:02I should have taught you about wands sooner.
01:00:04There's a right end.
01:00:06And a wrong one.
01:00:09Now you are using this knowledge against Fiona, clever bear.
01:00:15Voluntas Ligot.
01:00:27When a wand is reversed, the magic turns back on the caster.
01:00:31And that means Bruggen has become your master.
01:00:40Must you keep exchanging looks with that bear?
01:00:43Aurelian dragons are not only of noble blood.
01:00:46We are also particular about what belongs to us.
01:00:49You've bound yourself to me.
01:00:52Then your attention should follow.
01:00:54Um, okay.
01:00:56I will keep that in mind.
01:01:11As mentioned previously, fire sabamanders play a vital role in strengthening bonded creatures
01:01:17and accelerating their growth.
01:01:20The Academy has procured a fresh supply from the Old Doll Volcane.
01:01:25Each of you will receive a month's allocation.
01:01:29Collect your share and you are dismissed.
01:01:39Jalabi!
01:01:45Jalabi!
01:01:47Well done.
01:01:49That was a month's supply.
01:01:51She fed it all at once?
01:01:53Has she lost her mind?
01:01:56She clearly wasn't paying attention.
01:01:58Last in the class and now this?
01:02:00Poor Valrax is doomed with her.
01:02:02Binding with Valrax is wasted on her.
01:02:05Let me remind you.
01:02:07Fire salvamanders are not easily obtained.
01:02:10They are to be used with care and in accordance with Academy guidelines.
01:02:15Do not waste them.
01:02:17Of course, Professor Rockweil.
01:02:19I assure you, it wasn't wasted.
01:02:22We only have half a month till the frost arrives.
01:02:25Valrax has to grow fast to survive and protect me.
01:02:29If he dies right at the beginning again, that would be the real waste.
01:02:34Class is over.
01:02:45You remember too, don't you, sister?
01:02:48Last time, you survived by clinging to that curt bear.
01:02:51This time, it's my turn.
01:02:55Then I wish you best of luck.
01:02:56Of course.
01:02:58I will just fine with him by my side.
01:03:00Freezing to death on the first day of the frost.
01:03:09Get that cursed, feral creature of yours away from me!
01:03:12I'm sorry.
01:03:14But you shouldn't have woken him up from his nap.
01:03:30Are you hungry already?
01:03:31You gotta be kidding me?
01:03:33Where am I supposed to find the extra salamers for you?
01:03:36I don't have the money for it.
01:03:38Did you hear?
01:03:38A freshman went into the shadow woods last night.
01:03:41Got completely lost.
01:03:42I'm not surprised.
01:03:43That place is covered in heavy fog all year round.
01:03:47The shadow woods.
01:03:48If I remember correctly, before the frost,
01:03:51someone found a salamander's nest there.
01:03:54If the timeline hasn't changed,
01:03:56no one's discovered it yet.
01:03:58This is going to take forever.
01:04:00If you want to crawl like this,
01:04:02hop on my back.
01:04:04I will take you there.
01:04:06But you are still just a hatchling.
01:04:08You're hardly big enough to carry.
01:04:10I'm sorry.
01:04:24Shall we?
01:04:42I was adopted by a poor family.
01:04:45My little sister Tiffany was taken in by a wealthy family,
01:04:48the Sinclids.
01:04:50Yet in less than five years,
01:04:52she was thrown out of the Sinclair house.
01:04:53She miserably died on the street.
01:04:57As for me,
01:04:58I studied hard
01:04:59and made it into an Ivy League school.
01:05:03Sinclair was thrown out of the Sinclair house.
01:05:06She miserably died on the street.
01:05:09Sincreftatist Eiling earned the Sincre.
01:05:11In the end,
01:05:12I built my own business empire,
01:05:13married Tony with my adoptive parents' blessing,
01:05:16gave birth to kids,
01:05:17and lived a long, happy life.
01:05:21Somehow,
01:05:21I was reborn.
01:05:24The second the couple from the poor family walked in,
01:05:26she ran straight to Tony.
01:05:28Brother!
01:05:29Threw herself into his arms,
01:05:31called him her brother.
01:05:32Then she grabbed our new parents' hands
01:05:34and looked back at me
01:05:34with that smug little smile I knew too well.
01:05:37Audrey,
01:05:38you can have the rich family.
01:05:40But just a heads up,
01:05:41the Sinclair's house is a prison.
01:05:43I'm not going back there.
01:05:44I looked at the young man
01:05:46who had once been my husband.
01:05:47I hoped he would say something.
01:05:49Stay away from my sister.
01:05:51So in the end,
01:05:53with my sister grinning like she'd already won,
01:05:55I walked toward the Lincoln with a shogur.
01:05:58That was the moment it hit me.
01:06:00One look at her face told me everything.
01:06:04She had been reborn too.
01:06:08Get in, miss.
01:06:10The Sinclairs had sent no one but a chauffeur.
01:06:14Same as the past life.
01:06:15At this exact point,
01:06:17the director of the orphanage told us
01:06:19we could choose our own family.
01:06:21Tiffany stepped in first,
01:06:23lifted her ditt to her chin,
01:06:24and said,
01:06:25I'm not living broke.
01:06:27You are the big sister.
01:06:28You better suffer for me.
01:06:30Then she got the rich family she wanted,
01:06:32and day by day,
01:06:34the smile disappeared from her face.
01:06:37And now,
01:06:39I was the one stepping into the Lincoln.
01:06:42The chauffeur kept talking as he pulled away.
01:06:44He told me about the Sinclair's house rules.
01:06:47Got all that?
01:06:49He looked at me in the rearview mirror
01:06:51with those keen eyes,
01:06:52waiting for an answer.
01:06:56I got it.
01:06:59We arrived fast.
01:07:00I followed the chauffeur into a mansion.
01:07:02It looked less like a home
01:07:04and more like a royal palace.
01:07:06Mrs. Sinclair.
01:07:07She's here.
01:07:09An elegant woman sat on the sofa,
01:07:11sipping tea.
01:07:12She sized me up slowly
01:07:14and beckoned to me.
01:07:17Come here.
01:07:18I walked over.
01:07:21What's your name?
01:07:23Audrey.
01:07:24That was the name the orphanage had given me.
01:07:27Good.
01:07:28From now on,
01:07:29you're Audrey Sinclair.
01:07:39I followed the butler,
01:07:40step by step.
01:07:42Everything gleamed.
01:07:44Everything whispered money.
01:07:46But none of it shook me.
01:07:47In my past life,
01:07:49I had built this kind of life
01:07:50with my own hands.
01:07:52I knew what wealth looked like.
01:07:57Miss,
01:07:58this is your room now.
01:07:59He set my bag down by the bed.
01:08:01Get some rest.
01:08:02I'll come back for you.
01:08:03Then he left.
01:08:06I stepped inside and looked around.
01:08:09The room was perfect.
01:08:10And somewhere deep inside me,
01:08:12something stirred.
01:08:14Excitement.
01:08:15In my past life,
01:08:16I had no strong family background,
01:08:18yet I still built this kind of life
01:08:20with my own hands.
01:08:21This time,
01:08:22with the Sinclair name,
01:08:23I could become so much more.
01:08:25I was lost in thought
01:08:26when I heard shouting outside.
01:08:28A basketball came out of nowhere
01:08:30and slammed into my head.
01:08:31A boy was there.
01:08:33Zero manners.
01:08:35I knew who he was right away.
01:08:38Jasper Sinclair.
01:08:39He was into street racing,
01:08:41skydiving,
01:08:42anything dangerous enough
01:08:43to get him killed.
01:08:44Never serious.
01:08:45Never still.
01:08:46In my past life,
01:08:47his legs were crushed
01:08:48in a racing accident.
01:08:50Hello?
01:08:51You deaf or what?
01:08:53His voice snapped in my ear.
01:08:54I came back to myself,
01:08:56picked up the ball,
01:08:57and did it over.
01:08:59Here you go, Jasper.
01:09:01He froze for half a second
01:09:02and said,
01:09:03What an ass curer.
01:09:05You think living here
01:09:07gets you a cut of the Sinclair money?
01:09:08And remember,
01:09:09never call me by my first name.
01:09:11We're not that close.
01:09:12He snatched the ball
01:09:14and walked off.
01:09:16For the next few days,
01:09:17I barely saw Mrs. Sinclair.
01:09:19The butler showed me
01:09:20around the mansion.
01:09:21When we were done,
01:09:22he handed me
01:09:23a printed schedule.
01:09:26This is your schedule
01:09:27from now on.
01:09:27Starting tomorrow,
01:09:28you'll get private lessons
01:09:29in business management.
01:09:31Mrs. Sinclair arranged everything.
01:09:32Just study hard.
01:09:34If you do well,
01:09:35trust me,
01:09:35it'll pay off.
01:09:38You can handle that, right?
01:09:40In my past life,
01:09:41I didn't get to learn
01:09:42any of this
01:09:42until I started
01:09:43my first company.
01:09:45This time,
01:09:46I was getting it at 15.
01:09:50Absolutely.
01:09:54This girl learns
01:09:55frighteningly fast.
01:09:56She's not only finished
01:09:57the high school curriculum,
01:09:59but she's also mastered
01:10:00obscure business theory.
01:10:04At this rate,
01:10:05she won't even need
01:10:05to finish high school.
01:10:07She could start applying
01:10:08to universities now.
01:10:11But that was never
01:10:12Mrs. Sinclair's plan.
01:10:14She wanted me
01:10:15to stay with Jasper
01:10:16through high school
01:10:17and then go to university
01:10:18with him.
01:10:19And she wanted me
01:10:20to rein him in.
01:10:21Come here.
01:10:23I walked over.
01:10:25She took my hand
01:10:26and pulled me down
01:10:26beside her on the sofa.
01:10:30Then she handed me
01:10:31an acceptance letter.
01:10:33Westfield High.
01:10:35A private boarding school.
01:10:36Super elite.
01:10:38You did well.
01:10:39Jasper's grades are a mess.
01:10:40Help him out.
01:10:43I don't expect miracles.
01:10:45Just make sure he passes.
01:10:49Then she looked me
01:10:50right in the eye.
01:10:52Get through high school
01:10:53with him
01:10:53and I'll cover
01:10:55all your tuition
01:10:55and arrange
01:10:56the best change program
01:10:57for the two of you.
01:10:58Deal?
01:11:01And I didn't hesitate.
01:11:05Thank you, Mom.
01:11:08Good girl.
01:11:10No limit.
01:11:11One day off.
01:11:13Since arriving
01:11:14at the Sinclair house,
01:11:15it was the first day
01:11:16that actually felt like mine.
01:11:19I had barely taken
01:11:20a few steps
01:11:21when I saw a face I knew.
01:11:24Tiffany.
01:11:25She was standing
01:11:26on the curb
01:11:27in the brutal heat,
01:11:28handing out flyers.
01:11:30Of course,
01:11:30she had to take
01:11:31a part-time job.
01:11:33In my past life,
01:11:35that was me.
01:11:36Three jobs every summer.
01:11:37School on top of that.
01:11:39Housework after dark.
01:11:42Later,
01:11:42I found out
01:11:43why they took me in at all.
01:11:44Not because they wanted
01:11:45a daughter.
01:11:46Because they wanted
01:11:47free labor.
01:11:48Hey there.
01:11:49Want one?
01:11:54Audrey?
01:11:59So,
01:12:00you're living comfortably,
01:12:01huh?
01:12:01But don't say
01:12:02I didn't warn you.
01:12:03The Sinclair house
01:12:04isn't for girls like us.
01:12:05Mrs. Sinclair is far more
01:12:07evil than you think.
01:12:08Give it time.
01:12:09You'll find out.
01:12:10Oh.
01:12:11Okay.
01:12:13My parents are amazing,
01:12:15she said.
01:12:15Tony even helps me study.
01:12:17Oh, by the way,
01:12:18we got accepted
01:12:18into Westfield High
01:12:19early.
01:12:21Westfield High?
01:12:22I almost laughed.
01:12:26The school was full of
01:12:27Rickhead's legacy names
01:12:28and a handful of
01:12:29brilliant scholarship students.
01:12:31In my past life,
01:12:32Tony and I had been
01:12:33the scholarship kids.
01:12:34Tiffany looked at me
01:12:36like she was already
01:12:37watching my funeral.
01:12:39Our lives are only
01:12:41going to get better.
01:12:43You?
01:12:45You're going to end up
01:12:46dead in the street!
01:12:49Just as I was
01:12:49about to answer,
01:12:50a voice cut
01:12:51through the noise.
01:12:52Tiff!
01:12:53Tony!
01:12:54What are you doing here?
01:12:58Tony walked over
01:12:59with a lunch bag
01:13:00in one hand.
01:13:01Mom sent me.
01:13:02She wanted me
01:13:02to bring you lunch.
01:13:03It's blazing out here.
01:13:03Want me to cover for you
01:13:04for a while?
01:13:06It's okay.
01:13:07I'm fine.
01:13:08The Roberts would rather
01:13:09scrape together money
01:13:09for Tony's test prep
01:13:11than let Tiffany
01:13:11take a break.
01:13:12Same as the past life.
01:13:13Same pressure.
01:13:14Same grind.
01:13:15You're the best.
01:13:16You're the best.
01:13:22This is my sister, Audrey.
01:13:24You met her
01:13:24at the orphanage.
01:13:27Tony looked me over.
01:13:28His expression was cold,
01:13:30faintly disgusted.
01:13:32Don't hang around
01:13:32people like that.
01:13:33Come on.
01:13:33Let's go.
01:13:34He grabbed her hand
01:13:35and pulled her away
01:13:36before I could say a word.
01:13:39Their voices still carried
01:13:41even after they walked away.
01:13:45Tony,
01:13:45why are you being so mean?
01:13:47What if you scared her?
01:13:49You're too nice.
01:13:50Girls like that are trouble.
01:13:51Stay away from her.
01:13:53One day she'll stab you
01:13:54in the back.
01:13:54The words hit,
01:13:55like pressing on a bruise
01:13:57that had already healed wrong.
01:13:58I stood there
01:13:59for only a second.
01:14:00Then I looked down
01:14:01at the card
01:14:02Mrs. Sinclair had given me.
01:14:04I went luxury shopping.
01:14:06When I walked out
01:14:07of the stores
01:14:07with both hands full,
01:14:09Tiffany was still outside.
01:14:10The jealous look
01:14:11on her face
01:14:12was almost funny.
01:14:13What a show-off.
01:14:14You're still gonna die
01:14:15on the street.
01:14:16Tony and I,
01:14:17we're gonna run companies
01:14:18one day.
01:14:19She was so naive.
01:14:21The truth was,
01:14:23none of the shopping
01:14:24was for me.
01:14:24Everything I bought
01:14:25was for them.
01:14:26For Mrs. Sinclair.
01:14:28For Jasper.
01:14:29For the staff.
01:14:32Jasper was home.
01:14:33That was rare.
01:14:34Well, look at that.
01:14:37You've been here
01:14:37for just a while
01:14:38and you're already
01:14:39spending money
01:14:40that doesn't belong
01:14:42to you.
01:14:44Jasper.
01:14:46She's your sister.
01:14:48In what world?
01:14:49I don't have a sister
01:14:50and I never will.
01:14:51You think I'm bringing
01:14:52this bumplad
01:14:53around my friends?
01:14:54Oh, please.
01:14:55Jasper had never liked me
01:14:56and I wasn't dumb enough
01:14:57to push him.
01:14:58Mom, this is for you.
01:15:01Then I handed out gifts
01:15:03to the butler
01:15:03and the rest of the
01:15:04household staff.
01:15:06The butler
01:15:07and the rest of the staff
01:15:08were only Jasper'd.
01:15:10His face dropped
01:15:11on the spot.
01:15:12Oh, come on.
01:15:13You really think
01:15:14a few gifts are enough
01:15:15to buy people off?
01:15:16You think that makes you...
01:15:18Well, this one's for you.
01:15:20It was a custom
01:15:21race car model.
01:15:22I heard you're into racing.
01:15:24I saw it
01:15:25and thought of you.
01:15:33School started
01:15:34soon after that.
01:15:35I was already set
01:15:36to grab a cab
01:15:37on my own
01:15:38but when I stepped outside
01:15:39I saw a car
01:15:40waiting at the front.
01:15:42I smiled
01:15:42before I could help it.
01:15:45I ran over.
01:15:47Jasper!
01:15:49I told you
01:15:50not to call me
01:15:50by my first name!
01:15:53Well, get in.
01:15:54I don't have all day.
01:15:56Oh.
01:15:57Right.
01:15:59I climbed in
01:16:00slowly
01:16:01on purpose.
01:16:03Then I handed him
01:16:04the breakfast
01:16:04the cook had packed.
01:16:07Mom said
01:16:07there was one
01:16:08for each of us.
01:16:09Who even eats
01:16:10breakfast these days?
01:16:12But he still took it.
01:16:16He was back
01:16:17with that
01:16:17we-don't-know-each-other
01:16:18face.
01:16:20Listen carefully.
01:16:21I don't care
01:16:22what Mom said
01:16:22but at school
01:16:23you do not tell people
01:16:25you're a Sinclair.
01:16:26You do not tell people
01:16:27we're related.
01:16:27If I hear any rumors
01:16:28I'll blame you.
01:16:32Don't mind
01:16:32young Mr. Sinclair
01:16:33he's always been
01:16:34like that.
01:16:35I know.
01:16:38I stepped out
01:16:39after Jasper
01:16:40and there they were
01:16:42Tiffany and Tony
01:16:43right by the front gates.
01:16:45Tony was handsome
01:16:46clean cut
01:16:47straight A golden boy
01:16:48the quiet kind
01:16:50that made girls talk.
01:16:51A crowd had already
01:16:52formed around them.
01:16:54I caught snipses
01:16:55as I walked by.
01:16:56Did you hear
01:16:57about the transfer kid?
01:16:58He was top of the district
01:16:59and his sister too.
01:17:01She scored top 15.
01:17:03God I wish my brother
01:17:04were like that.
01:17:06My test scores
01:17:07landed me
01:17:07in the advanced
01:17:08academic class.
01:17:09I stepped into
01:17:10the classroom first.
01:17:11A few seconds later
01:17:12Tony and Tiffany
01:17:13came in behind me.
01:17:17Well
01:17:18what a coincidence.
01:17:19Who would have thought
01:17:20we'd end up
01:17:21in the same class
01:17:22sis?
01:17:22like this.
