00:00:00In the year 284, the dragons attacked my homeland.
00:00:03Our kingdom fell overnight.
00:00:07Your Majesty, Princess Seraphina's gone.
00:00:10Dracica lost it during the full moon, killed her,
00:00:12and now he's bringing his army straight to our gates.
00:00:17Allura!
00:00:18You killed Seraphina!
00:00:20If you hadn't forced me to marry you,
00:00:22she would never have died in that dragon's law!
00:00:24Allura!
00:00:25It shouldn't have been her!
00:00:26You're the one who should be dead!
00:00:28Everyone believed my love was a sin.
00:00:31My very existence was the reason my sister died a horrific death.
00:00:47If we could start over, Allura.
00:00:50Please, don't let Seraphina marry Dracon.
00:00:53She'll die.
00:00:56I loved Aldrich my entire life,
00:00:58but from beginning to end,
00:00:59his heart only ever belonged to Seraphina.
00:01:01The love I guarded all my life was nothing but a cruel joke.
00:01:04As our kingdom crumbled, I fell from the highest tower.
00:01:06If there is a next life, I swear I will never-
00:01:13Didn't I die in the fire?
00:01:15Is this my chambers?
00:01:19Have I been reborn?
00:01:23Didn't I die in the fire?
00:01:25Is this my chambers?
00:01:29Have I been reborn?
00:01:31Reborn?
00:01:35Your Highness.
00:01:37The King has called a royal council today to decide who will be sent to the Dragon's Lair for the
00:01:41political marriage.
00:01:43The marriage alliance?
00:01:45I went back to the day before it was finalized.
00:01:47None of the tragedies have happened yet.
00:01:53In my past life, I clinged to a one-sided love and looked like a beggar.
00:01:59This time, I won't marry Aldrich.
00:02:02I'm going to the Dragon's Lair.
00:02:04I'll marry Dracon.
00:02:12Aldrich!
00:02:13Father called the council.
00:02:15He's going to send me to the Dragon's Lair, isn't he?
00:02:19King Dracon is a bloodthirsty monster.
00:02:22If I go, I won't survive.
00:02:25Aldrian, I'm so scared.
00:02:27Don't be scared.
00:02:29As long as I'm here, I will never let anyone drag you to that den of monsters.
00:02:38Princess Seraphina, Commander Aldrich.
00:02:41The King requests your presence in the council chamber immediately.
00:02:45You humans dared trespass into our sacred forest.
00:02:50To pay for your sins, you must offer a princess to the Dragon King as his bride.
00:02:56Otherwise, the Dragon King's wrath will burn your entire kingdom to ash!
00:03:01Everyone knows Ellora loves Aldrich.
00:03:02Sending her could cause problems.
00:03:05Serafina is the safer choice.
00:03:11The Dragon King is a ruthless killer!
00:03:14Sending either princess is a death sentence!
00:03:17I object!
00:03:18Everyone new wasted half my life loving Aldrich.
00:03:22But his warmth, his protection...
00:03:25They always belonged to Serafina.
00:03:28Elara, what say you?
00:03:35Elara, what say you?
00:03:37I will abide by your decision, father.
00:03:40Elara, you didn't even hesitate!
00:03:43Do you want Seraphia to die that badly?
00:03:45Then we shall proceed as custom dictate.
00:03:48The ceremony will take place in three days.
00:03:53Emisei, tell the Dragon King that humanity will keep its word.
00:04:04Your Majesty, I beg of you to reconsider!
00:04:06I'll protect her with my life and find another way to save the kingdom!
00:04:09Aldrich, step down.
00:04:19Elara!
00:04:22How can you just stand by and watch Serafina go to her death?
00:04:28And what exactly do you want me to do?
00:04:31Defy the King and take her place?
00:04:33You are the eldest princess!
00:04:35You should have stepped up!
00:04:36Instead of throwing your sister to the wolves!
00:04:39Someone has to jump, Aldrich.
00:04:41If not her, then me!
00:04:43I'll find a way.
00:04:45I will protect both of you.
00:04:46I won't let either of you die in that place.
00:04:53You don't need to worry.
00:04:54She's not going anywhere.
00:04:56The one marrying Draken is me.
00:05:07Your Majesty.
00:05:08The entire kingdom knows Princess Elara is in love with General Aldrich.
00:05:14Are you really going to send Princess Elara to the Dragon's Lair?
00:05:20Elara came to see me this morning.
00:05:22She volunteered to take her sister's place.
00:05:26Truly.
00:05:27But Princess Elara has always loved Aldrich.
00:05:31Why would she choose the Dragon's Lair instead?
00:05:36Indeed.
00:05:37Even I cannot read my own daughter this time.
00:05:44Father, my mind is made up.
00:05:47I will not marry Aldrich.
00:05:51I will go to the Dragon's Lair and fulfill the treaty.
00:05:57Are you certain?
00:05:59You've wanted nothing but to marry Aldrich your whole life.
00:06:03Why the sudden change of heart?
00:06:06In my past life, the fall of our kingdom began with Seraphina's tragic death in the Dragon's Lair.
00:06:12This time, I will go.
00:06:14I will stop the tragedy before it starts.
00:06:18Father, it's time I let Aldrich go.
00:06:22But please, keep this a secret until I depart.
00:06:28Very well.
00:06:31Elara wants this kept quiet.
00:06:35Make sure not a word of this leaks out.
00:06:38Understood.
00:06:43Elara.
00:06:45I truly don't know you anymore.
00:06:50Using Resonant Blood and the Dragon Core as a catalyst to forge the ultimate soul bond between human and dragon.
00:06:55A blood sacrifice.
00:06:57A living vessel for the curse.
00:06:58So that's what Draken wants.
00:07:00A human catalyst.
00:07:02I will survive the Dragon's Lair.
00:07:07In this life, I'm done begging for scraps.
00:07:11I'm living for myself.
00:07:20Why do you have to tear Seraphina and me apart?
00:07:24Do you hate seeing me happy that much?
00:07:28Aldrich!
00:07:29How dare you lay a hand on me!
00:07:32Do you have any idea how much Seraphina cries?
00:07:37As her older sister, you're supposed to protect her.
00:07:42You should've...
00:07:44Should've what?
00:07:45Died in her place?
00:07:48I didn't mean you should die.
00:07:50I just... I just don't want to see Seraphina get hurt.
00:07:53Just a few more days, and you'll have your precious Seraphina.
00:07:56In my last life, you died for her.
00:07:59This time, I'm setting you free.
00:08:16Aldrich?
00:08:17What are you doing out here? It's so late.
00:08:19Why aren't you asleep?
00:08:21I... I had a nightmare about the dragon.
00:08:23It was huge of just staring at me, wanting to tear me apart.
00:08:26Aldrich, I'm so scared.
00:08:28Shh, don't be scared. I won't let anyone take you.
00:08:31But father already made up his mind, and sister, she won't even help me.
00:08:35Elara is cold-blooded.
00:08:38Don't blame her.
00:08:39I'm sure... I'm sure she has her reasons.
00:08:43Reasons?
00:08:44What could possibly justify her acting like this?
00:08:53I won't let you go.
00:08:55I promise.
00:09:04Sister, are you really going to just stand there and let me be sent away?
00:09:08Cut the act, Seraphina. You're going to get exactly what you want.
00:09:20On the wedding day, you will marry Aldrich, and I will marry Drakon. Not a word of this to anyone.
00:09:32Grandmother.
00:09:33The Dragon King is cursed.
00:09:36He loses his mind.
00:09:37Even his lifelong servants and closest kin have died under his claws.
00:09:42You...
00:09:43I know what I'm getting into.
00:09:45You know? And yet you're still going?
00:09:48Walking on eggshells here is no way to live.
00:09:50I'd rather take my chances in the North and finally live for myself.
00:09:58This Dragon Amber Jade belonged to your mother.
00:10:01Before she passed, she left it in my care.
00:10:05She wanted me to give it to you on your wedding day.
00:10:08Now that you're heading to the far North, keep it close.
00:10:19My mother's Dragon Amber. I never leave it behind and no one would dare touch it.
00:10:23It had to be Seraphina.
00:10:25Give it back.
00:10:27Sister, you're about to become Dragon Bait to feed his curse.
00:10:30What use do you have for this Jade anyway?
00:10:32I'm only going to say this once. Give. It. Back.
00:10:36It's completely wasted on you anyway.
00:10:39It's mine now.
00:10:49Sister, how could you hit me? I only wanted to take a look at it!
00:10:57Elara! You have lost your mind!
00:11:02It's okay. I've got you. Nobody's ever gonna hurt you.
00:11:07You are venomous. She was just curious and you lashed out like a psycho.
00:11:12Elara, you absolutely disgust me!
00:11:20Why didn't you dodge? I... I reacted without thinking. I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:11:28Ever since he hurt me on the terrace that day, Uldric has been standing down there.
00:11:35Day after day, just watching and refusing to leave.
00:11:42Your Highness, the Lord Commander has been standing out there all night.
00:11:47Won't you at least see him?
00:11:49No. Ignore him.
00:11:58My Lord! How dare you trespass into the Prince's private quarters!
00:12:02Elara, what happened the other day? It was an accident.
00:12:04Let me marry you. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you, keeping you safe.
00:12:10I don't need your pity. Get out.
00:12:13Elara, I...
00:12:13Out!
00:12:24Tomorrow, I leave for the Dragon's Nest and you're marrying Serphina.
00:12:28You still don't even realize she's the one you're actually wedded to, do you?
00:12:34A royal princess, so young and gentle, sent to the frozen dragon's nest to face that terrible curse.
00:12:39Talk about a cruel twist of fate.
00:12:41I heard the Dragon King is a total beast. Princess Serenia won't survive this. It's a death sentence.
00:12:45Sacrificing one life to secure peace for two kingdoms. The princess's sacrifice is our salvation.
00:12:57My queen. It's time to depart.
00:13:01Very well. Let's go.
00:13:04Seraphina! Wait for me! I'll tear the world apart to drag you back from that nest!
00:13:13Aldrich, in this lifetime, this is goodbye forever.
00:13:32Before the gods, the king, and these witnesses,
00:13:37Aldrich Monclone, do you talk this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:13:41I do.
00:14:00Aldrich, it's your turn to speak.
00:14:05How... how is it you?
00:14:06It's our wedding day. Who else would it be?
00:14:09Where is Alara?
00:14:10Aldrich.
00:14:12My sister went to the dragon's nest.
00:14:14Wait, wasn't the Lord Commander wearing the eldest princess?
00:14:17Exactly. Why is the second princess the bride?
00:14:19Your Majesty, tell me what is going on.
00:14:23Seraphina was supposed to be the tribute. Why did Alara-
00:14:25The tribute was Alara from the very beginning. You only have your own blindness to blame.
00:14:40Aldrich!
00:14:53Alara!
00:14:54Help me!
00:14:57Come back with me!
00:15:06Another human.
00:15:07The last one didn't even last six months.
00:15:13By the king's command, no entering the top floor, no wandering during the full moon, and never bother His Majesty.
00:15:19Understood.
00:15:22I have to find a way to get close to Drakon. I need to figure out this curse.
00:15:27Your Majesty, the human bride has arrived. She has been settled in the third floor chambers.
00:15:34Understood. Dismissed.
00:15:38Just another sacrifice.
00:15:44Monster!
00:15:52Just another fragile human.
00:15:54I wonder how long this one will last.
00:15:59Your Highness, I'm Leia. I'll be taking care of you from now on. Here is some hot water to wash
00:16:05up.
00:16:05You're human?
00:16:07Yes, I was in the first group of humans brought to the Dragon's Hest. I've been here... for ten years.
00:16:13Your Highness, you must be careful. The last princess, she didn't even last two weeks.
00:16:16I see. Thanks. If I want to survive, I have to figure out the rules of this cage. Scare food,
00:16:22ruined lives. This place is more like a prison.
00:16:27How many times have I told you? Stay away from humans! Their filth will only taint our dragon bloodline!
00:16:34Every single dragon here hates humans to their food reserves are depleted, barely lasting three months.
00:16:40Drakon, you are failing your people. Can't sleep. Might as well take a walk, and see what other secrets this
00:16:46dragon tower is hiding.
00:16:51Why is there a door here? These stairs go all the way up. Is this the restricted area of the
00:16:57upper tower?
00:17:03This freezing air. There's definitely a dark secret hidden up here.
00:17:10It's Drakon. Is his curses flaring up? Does it strike every single night? The tail. Could it be his weak
00:17:18spot?
00:17:19Get out!
00:17:25Was that the human? She didn't seem afraid of me at all.
00:17:32Dragon core resonance. The queen dowager said my mother had this trait. Could I have it too?
00:17:43Your highness. You've been reading these ancient dragon texts every day. What are they about?
00:17:49The innate curse of the dragon race.
00:17:51Dragons are so cruel and cold-blooded, why even bother studying them?
00:17:55You've been in the dragon's nest for ten years, and you're still terrified of-
00:17:59You don't understand. Every full moon, the whole tower shakes. He becomes a beast out for blood.
00:18:04Instead, his agonizing nighttime transformation is a warning sign of the full moon curse. It'll turn him into an uncontrollable
00:18:12beast.
00:18:14Dragon core resonance is the only way to ease the excruciating pain of his curse.
00:18:47Dragon core resonance is the only way to seize the hearts.
00:18:48Dragon研究nty gewesen
00:18:48Dragon core resonance is the only way to the bodies of the
00:19:02What is it to you?
00:19:03If you lose control and die tonight, the dragon ministers will see me as useless baggage.
00:19:07If you go down, I go down with you.
00:19:09I'm not going to die. I can survive a petty curse like this.
00:19:20Do you even know what you're doing?
00:19:23If you touch a dragon curse blindly, it'll consume you too.
00:19:28My mother had the rare dragon core resonation bloodline.
00:19:30Maybe I do too. I can help suppress it.
00:19:39It really is dragon core resonation. My gamble paid off.
00:19:44Talk about a stubborn pride.
00:19:47Hurting like hell, yet still playing tough.
00:19:50Now that he's quiet, he's actually quite handsome.
00:20:02Idiot! Get back!
00:20:03A proud dragon lord looking this substantive? How embarrassing!
00:20:07Morning.
00:20:12It looks like your tail is saying hello to me.
00:20:15It's not.
00:20:17Fine. If you say so.
00:20:19Can you have some self-respect?
00:20:23Wherever she touched, the pain is completely gone.
00:20:32The dragon lord actually came down from the tower?
00:20:34He always locks himself away around the full room.
00:20:36But today he just walked out on his own.
00:20:48To adapt to different battlegrounds,
00:20:51mastering the blade is essential for a dragon.
00:20:59But ever since the curse started flaring up,
00:21:03I haven't picked up a sword in ages.
00:21:15For three hundred years,
00:21:18this is the first time my hand hasn't shaken after a swing.
00:21:26The curse is receding,
00:21:27even if it's only temporary.
00:21:38Dragon core suppression works.
00:21:41The tail acts on its own,
00:21:43bypassing conscious control,
00:21:45and the target develops...
00:21:48dependency issues?
00:21:52Your highness, have you had breakfast yet?
00:21:55The kitchen!
00:21:58Why is your face so flushed?
00:22:00Did you catch a cold last night?
00:22:02No, the room is just warm.
00:22:04I'm fine.
00:22:05Your highness!
00:22:06The dragon lord came down from the tower this morning.
00:22:09First time ever before a full moon.
00:22:14Oh?
00:22:16Really?
00:22:19Oh?
00:22:20Is that so?
00:22:21The guards said so themselves.
00:22:22But there's something even weirder.
00:22:24They said Dracian's tail wasn't dragging on the ground today.
00:22:27So what was his tail doing then?
00:22:30No idea.
00:22:31The guards didn't dare look.
00:22:34Maybe it was perked up.
00:22:51What?
00:22:52Why so distant?
00:22:53Your tail is way more honest than your mouth.
00:22:55Stay away from me.
00:22:56Why?
00:22:56Because I hurt people.
00:22:58Then why did you come looking for me?
00:23:00I...
00:23:00I didn't.
00:23:01He's worried about hurting me?
00:23:03Guess he's not the bloodthirsty monster rumors made him out to be.
00:23:10What are you doing?
00:23:16The full moon is here.
00:23:18He's going to lose control.
00:23:20I have to get to the dragon tower right now
00:23:22and help him contain the curse.
00:23:24The curse.
00:23:30Press and halt the transformation.
00:23:33Get out of here.
00:23:34I can't hold it back.
00:23:35I'm going to kill you.
00:23:36I'm not leaving. I'm not turning my back on you.
00:23:47Don't be scared. I'm here. It's over.
00:23:49She can resonate with me and suppress a curse that's gone unbroken for 300 years.
00:23:54Aren't you afraid I lost it? I almost killed you.
00:23:56I was, but I couldn't just walk away from you.
00:24:02For 300 years, she's the only one who's dared to come near me.
00:24:07And the only one whose blood resonates with mine to suppress this curse.
00:24:15You idiot. You knew I'd lost my mind.
00:24:20Why would you gamble your life to stay?
00:24:27What are you doing here?
00:24:29Just passing by. Door was open. And don't get the wrong idea, this stuff's cheap anyway.
00:24:33Oh. Just passing by? Then why does your tail keep creeping over to my side?
00:24:40I'm leaving. Just get some rest.
00:24:42Stubborn dragon. According to the records, the black cough always breaks out in the dragon nest after a full moon.
00:24:49My queen. How did you get hurt?
00:24:52It's nothing. Leah have a lot of miners in the dragon nest come down with the black cough.
00:24:56Yes. Many are coughing up blood. Some have already died.
00:25:00Take me to them.
00:25:01My queen? But those places are filthy.
00:25:03I'm here now, which makes the people of the dragon nest my people too. Lead the way.
00:25:18Who are you?
00:25:19This is our new queen. Princess Alara.
00:25:21Your highness. What brings you here? It's filthy.
00:25:24I heard about the black cough outbreak.
00:25:26Yes. We caught it in the mines. Once the coughing starts, it doesn't stop. Pretty soon you're spitting blood.
00:25:31It's not consumption. It's black lung. The toxic dust in the mines has built up in your lungs for too
00:25:37long.
00:25:37Can it be cured?
00:25:38Yes. But we need medicine.
00:25:43What kind of medicine?
00:25:44Three herbs. We have two of them in the dragon nest, but the third only grows in the south.
00:25:48The south. They'll never give it to us.
00:25:51They will.
00:25:55Mine dust makes you cough, then bleed.
00:25:58Only a brew of snowsite, silver starsum, and dragon salvery leaf can flush it out.
00:26:02To the royal gardens, by order of Princess Alara, send 100 pounds of dragon salvery leaves, 300 seeds, and growing
00:26:08instructions.
00:26:15What is your name?
00:26:16Kale, my queen.
00:26:18Kale, do you know if anyone is headed to the southern border today?
00:26:20Yes, my queen. The merchant caravan heads to the border market at the start of every month.
00:26:24Today is their departure day.
00:26:25Deliver a letter for me. Get it to the oversaw of the royal gardens in Cedar City.
00:26:30Here. These gold coins are for trouble.
00:26:44Come in.
00:26:49My queen.
00:26:50From the south. It is here.
00:26:53Here.
00:26:57Open it.
00:27:07Thank you for your hard work. Go get some rest.
00:27:13Your Prinus, you are brewing this yourself. You should leave this kind of work to the servants.
00:27:16For the first batch, I have to do it myself.
00:27:18The dosage, the heat, the timing. If we mess up even slightly, it could be useless. Or worse, toxic.
00:27:36It is ready.
00:27:44The benevolent princess?
00:27:45She's probably just putting on a show to buy our loyalty.
00:27:48Not even our own healers can cure this.
00:27:50What makes an outsider human think she can do any better?
00:27:56The queen is here. She brought medicine.
00:27:59My queen, this sickness has plagued us for so long. Can it really cure him?
00:28:04Save your breath, my queen. There's no curing this.
00:28:08It might just save your life. Drink up.
00:28:11Let him rest. I'll bring more tomorrow.
00:28:13If the cough eases, keep going.
00:28:15If not, I'll adjust it.
00:28:16Thank you, my queen.
00:28:21My queen, my chest feels clear.
00:28:23And the coughing stopped.
00:28:25This stuff actually works.
00:28:26It's just a quick fix.
00:28:28He'll be coughing blood again by morning.
00:28:30You can't trust human medicine.
00:28:31We're not falling for this.
00:28:33Time will tell if it works.
00:28:34If you want to try it, line up.
00:28:36If not, I won't force you.
00:28:42Compassionate, protective, and commanding.
00:28:45You really are the perfect queen for the dragon's nest.
00:28:51My queen, we were blind and disrespectful.
00:28:55Please, forgive us.
00:28:56My queen, we saw what your medicine did.
00:28:58Please, my queen, save us, too.
00:29:02The entire mine is in your debt, my queen.
00:29:06I'll keep the medicine coming, but cover your mouth and noses in the mines.
00:29:10Breathe that dust again and you'll get sick all over.
00:29:13My queen, thank you.
00:29:16Please, take this.
00:29:17What is this?
00:29:18Just some dried fruit we made.
00:29:19It's not much, but it's all we have to show our gratitude.
00:29:21Thank you, I'll take it.
00:29:22Make sure Cain finishes his his medicine, even after he feels better.
00:29:25For you, my queen.
00:29:28Let's go.
00:29:32Why are you doing all this?
00:29:35Doing what?
00:29:36Treating the sick, making medicine, helping those miners.
00:29:40All of it.
00:29:41Because I want to survive.
00:29:43What does that have to do with any of this?
00:29:45If you fall, the dragon nest falls.
00:29:48And if this place falls, I go down with it.
00:29:50So helping you is just me helping myself.
00:29:52That is the only reason?
00:29:53Yes.
00:29:57You are welcome.
00:29:59Is that really the only reason?
00:30:13Your right arm can't take that kind of strain.
00:30:16None of your business.
00:30:17Your wing is torn.
00:30:18It'll get infected if you don't clean it.
00:30:22I don't need you fussing over me.
00:30:24You dying doesn't do me any favours.
00:30:28Follow me.
00:30:35This is going to hurt.
00:30:37Brace yourself.
00:30:41Relax.
00:30:42Don't be so tense.
00:30:43You did that on purpose.
00:30:53You did that on purpose.
00:30:56Yes.
00:30:57Purpose.
00:31:00You're the first person who's ever dared to bite me.
00:31:03And you're the first who's ever dared to pull my hair.
00:31:07Do you have any idea what you're doing?
00:31:08Putting on your medicine.
00:31:09Putting on...
00:31:10Keep this up.
00:31:10And I won't guarantee I'll let you stop at the medicine.
00:31:12And what exactly do you want to do?
00:31:14You say it's just medicine.
00:31:15But your heart is racing.
00:31:17That's because you're choking me with your tail.
00:31:23Why didn't you pull away?
00:31:25Why would I?
00:31:26You're going to regret this.
00:31:28No.
00:31:29I won't.
00:31:33Elira.
00:31:36Our grain reserves won't last the winter.
00:31:38The South refuses to trade.
00:31:39And the border lords are too terrified of dragons to negotiate.
00:31:43I'll negotiate with them.
00:31:46Your highness, humans will never trade with dragons.
00:31:49You're here to secure an alliance, not to run this kingdom.
00:31:51They will trade if there's enough profit in it for them.
00:31:53Are you sure the Southern lords will even listen to you?
00:31:56They don't have to listen to me.
00:31:58But they wouldn't dare insult an Imperial princess.
00:32:01I'm going with you.
00:32:04You?
00:32:05I just don't want you dying on the road.
00:32:10He acts so tough when he's just worried.
00:32:17Your pricer...
00:32:19His majesty summoned the black feathered beast just to travel with you.
00:32:22He almost never uses his mount.
00:32:24Oh, him.
00:32:24He's just worried I'll die on the road.
00:32:32The Dragon King.
00:32:34What the hell is Dracon doing here?
00:32:36Your Hydenus.
00:32:36You belong to the Dragon's Nest now.
00:32:39The South has never traded with dragons, so this deal...
00:32:41My lord, this isn't charity.
00:32:43It's business.
00:32:44And the Dragon's Nest has exactly what you need.
00:32:49Is this...
00:32:50Frost Crystal makes enchanted alloys 30% stronger.
00:32:54Ice Silk.
00:32:54Five times warmer than wool.
00:32:56We have resources.
00:32:58You have the market.
00:32:59This is a win-win.
00:33:00You're more persuasive than the rumors say.
00:33:03But how do I know the dragons won't break the treaty tomorrow?
00:33:11On my honor as the Dragon King, my people will never cross your borders as long as this treaty stands.
00:33:19Guards!
00:33:20Draft the treaty immediately!
00:33:22Back there, you handled everything perfectly on your own.
00:33:26You handled everything perfectly.
00:33:29You don't...
00:33:30Need me.
00:33:32Who said I didn't?
00:33:43Your Highness, the goods have been delivered exactly as agreed.
00:33:47Good work.
00:33:47Get everything unloaded, then head to the Council Hall for your payment.
00:33:55What's your price for this?
00:33:57We do trades.
00:33:58One ice silk for three of our fabrics.
00:34:01Borders from the Queen herself.
00:34:02No one goes down the shaft without a wet cloth over their mouth and nose.
00:34:07You skip it, you don't work.
00:34:10Got it, Uncle Kane.
00:34:11We're on it.
00:34:11Your Highness, we've tallied the taxes from the first day of trade.
00:34:15It already exceeds the total of the past three months combined.
00:34:21Before this, we were out of line.
00:34:23You've proven your worth, Your Highness.
00:34:25Actions speak louder than words.
00:34:31In hundreds of years, you're the first human to ever make these stubborn old fools bow their heads.
00:34:36I don't care about your bowing.
00:34:37I need your cooperation.
00:34:38The wall repairs start next week, and we need manpower for the mines.
00:34:42Who's running point?
00:34:45I'll oversee the mining operations, Your Highness.
00:34:48I'll take charge of the wall.
00:34:54Have your proposals on my desk by tomorrow.
00:34:57No excuses.
00:34:59You've been kneeling there for two hours.
00:35:01Spit it out.
00:35:01Your Majesty, I beg you, grant me permission to go to the dragon's nest.
00:35:08To do what?
00:35:09To bring her home.
00:35:13You just married her sister, and now you're telling me you want her back?
00:35:19Besides, she was sent to that dragon's den ages ago.
00:35:22What can you do now?
00:35:23I know I've screwed up.
00:35:25I just...
00:35:25I can't let her rot in that god-disdained place.
00:35:30You honestly think she'll just pack up and leave with you?
00:35:32You still don't get her, do you?
00:35:34Ellara isn't some damsel in distress waiting to be rescued.
00:35:38Then all the reasonry for me to go it.
00:35:41Do whatever you want.
00:35:44Princess,
00:35:45The Lord Commander begged the king to let him go to the dragon's nest, and the king agreed.
00:35:51Oh.
00:35:52Off to the dragon's nest to rescue my dear sister, I assume.
00:35:59She's ready for you, my lord.
00:36:03Open the gates.
00:36:05Aldric!
00:36:06Stop!
00:36:07You can't go there!
00:36:08The dragon's nest is a death trap!
00:36:10They will kill you!
00:36:13So what if they do?
00:36:16My whole life I've done but play by the rules.
00:36:19Doing what's right.
00:36:21But I don't even know what I actually want anymore.
00:36:24I thought I loved you.
00:36:26But I was dead wrong.
00:36:30You don't love me anymore?
00:36:35What about me?
00:36:37What am I supposed to do if you leave?
00:36:39You're safe here.
00:36:41You're a princess.
00:36:42You'll always be fine.
00:36:44But Ellara,
00:36:45she doesn't have that luxury.
00:36:54You don't have to do this.
00:36:55We have an alliance, remember?
00:36:57What if...
00:36:59I want more than just an alliance?
00:37:07Intruder!
00:37:08South wall!
00:37:08Human cavalry spotted approaching!
00:37:12Let's go.
00:37:14Time to see what's happening.
00:37:16Ellara,
00:37:17we aren't finished.
00:37:22It can wait.
00:37:29Fine.
00:37:36Sister,
00:37:37you're already rotting away in that dragon pit,
00:37:39so why do you still have your hooks on Aldric's heart?
00:37:43I don't care how you do it.
00:37:45Make sure Illyria dies in that nest.
00:37:48She can never come back.
00:37:49Once it's done,
00:37:50you'll get everything you want.
00:37:52gold,
00:37:53secrets,
00:37:54name your price.
00:37:55As you command,
00:37:56Princess Seraphina.
00:37:58Don't blame me, sister.
00:37:59You have to disappear forever
00:38:01if I'm ever going to keep
00:38:02Aldrin's heart all to myself.
00:38:10Ellara,
00:38:11thank you.
00:38:12Thank you for giving my people
00:38:15a real home.
00:38:27My lord,
00:38:28there are about ten of them.
00:38:29They claim to be from the southern kingdom.
00:38:32The leader,
00:38:33he's demanding to see Queen Picture One.
00:38:36Tell him to get lost.
00:38:43Ellara!
00:38:43I was wrong!
00:38:44I'm here to take you home!
00:38:47So that is the ex-fiance?
00:38:49Yes.
00:38:50You want to see him?
00:38:51No.
00:38:53Where are you going?
00:38:56Back to bed.
00:38:57It's freezing out here.
00:39:00Keep them outside.
00:39:01No entry.
00:39:02If anyone takes a step closer,
00:39:04shoot to kill.
00:39:08Commander,
00:39:08you haven't eaten a bite all day.
00:39:10She saw me.
00:39:12And she just walked away.
00:39:14She never used to be like this.
00:39:17Commander,
00:39:17the princess has changed.
00:39:20No.
00:39:22I just never really saw her
00:39:23for who she was.
00:39:24I beg of you.
00:39:26Let me see the princess just once.
00:39:28One word,
00:39:30and I'll leave.
00:39:37My lord.
00:39:38He says he only wants one minute,
00:39:40and then he'll depart.
00:39:41Perfect.
00:39:42Ellara,
00:39:42let's see what you choose.
00:39:44Let him in.
00:39:45Alone.
00:39:46He has 15 minutes.
00:39:47If he stays a second longer,
00:39:49execute him on the spot.
00:39:50Yes, my lord.
00:39:56Thank you for seeing me.
00:39:58Dracon let you in.
00:40:00Not me.
00:40:02I didn't come here
00:40:03to beg for your forgiveness.
00:40:04I just...
00:40:04You don't belong in a place like this.
00:40:07Let me take you away from here.
00:40:10I'm not suffering, Aldrian.
00:40:12If you want out,
00:40:13I will fight to my last breath
00:40:14to get you free.
00:40:15Even if it costs me my life...
00:40:17I want to need you to...
00:40:17I want to be here.
00:40:32Stay away from him.
00:40:34You're the one who let him in.
00:40:42Because...
00:40:44I wanted to hear you tell him
00:40:46to get lost.
00:40:49But seeing the two of you together...
00:40:51It drives me insane.
00:40:58Next time...
00:40:59If anyone gets this close to you...
00:41:02I won't be so gentle.
00:41:11Take a good look, Aldric.
00:41:13Elora is mine.
00:41:15Only mine.
00:41:29Wait, stop.
00:41:31It's broad daylight.
00:41:33There are people right outside.
00:41:39This is my territory.
00:41:42Who dare say a damn thing.
00:41:48Drakon.
00:41:49Easy.
00:41:50I can't handle this.
00:41:52I hear you.
00:41:54I'll go easy.
00:42:01In my clan,
00:42:03we have a soul covenant.
00:42:06Once bound,
00:42:08we share one lifetime.
00:42:10Tied forever.
00:42:11Never to stray.
00:42:13You want to make that covenant with me?
00:42:16Ever since you looked at my dragon form
00:42:18without fear and soothed my pain,
00:42:19I knew
00:42:20I never wanted you to be
00:42:22just a tool for my curse.
00:42:31I, Drakon,
00:42:32swear this soul covenant.
00:42:35Elora,
00:42:36you are my one and only mate
00:42:38for all eternity.
00:42:40I do.
00:42:43Elora,
00:42:44you can never leave me now.
00:42:57Drakon really do look out for me, Drakon.
00:43:02So gentle.
00:43:05Now that we're bound,
00:43:07I finally feel like I belong.
00:43:10But really,
00:43:11you don't have to cater to my every need.
00:43:18You carry the blood that tames my curse.
00:43:21As far as I'm concerned,
00:43:23you deserve nothing less.
00:43:27So,
00:43:28it's only about the curse?
00:43:32Now that we've swore the soul covenant,
00:43:35you should know.
00:43:37I've always wanted far more than...
00:43:40than just usefulness.
00:43:51I need to find out why dragons have hated humans for generations.
00:43:58If I can fix this old feud,
00:44:01maybe we can finally have lasting peace.
00:44:05Besides,
00:44:06this amber jade was my mother's.
00:44:08She seems connected to the curse and conflict between humans and dragons.
00:44:13The dragon aura in this piece is incredibly pure.
00:44:19No ordinary human royal
00:44:21could ever possess something like this.
00:44:24I want to uncover its origins, too.
00:44:27And understand why your people are so hostile against humans.
00:44:31Will you tell me what happened back then?
00:44:42The humans broke their word
00:44:45and slaughtered everyone in the dragon's nest.
00:44:53But look at the corner of this page.
00:44:56There are traces of the shadow dragons.
00:44:59There might be more to this story than we know.
00:45:04Our surviving ancestors saw it with their own eyes.
00:45:09Our clans were closest allies back then.
00:45:12I refuse to believe humans would start a bloodbath for no reason.
00:45:17Every record only shows human brutality.
00:45:20My people,
00:45:21they won't care about your theories.
00:45:28Could this chap hold the key?
00:45:32The full truth about the dragon amber in the war?
00:45:37A century ago,
00:45:39there was a tribe of human resonators
00:45:41who could share their minds with dragons.
00:45:48But that tribe vanished long ago.
00:45:54The glowing letters.
00:45:56They're revealing the past.
00:45:58My mother's clan,
00:45:59they were the lost resonators.
00:46:01The human king back then
00:46:03feared the dragon clan's power.
00:46:05He colluded with the shadow dragons
00:46:07to launch a sneak attack on the nest.
00:46:16My people couldn't stop the massacre,
00:46:18so they
00:46:19took the amber
00:46:21the first king incested to them.
00:46:24They kept it safe for generations,
00:46:27waiting for the right moment
00:46:28to end this feud.
00:46:32The primal dragon crystal inside the jade,
00:46:34combined with our soul covenant,
00:46:36it can completely purge
00:46:38the dark magic curse.
00:46:40Dracon,
00:46:40we can finally break your curse.
00:46:43You won't have to suffer ever again.
00:46:46Thank you, Ilara.
00:46:50Tomorrow,
00:46:51I'm calling a council meeting
00:46:52to reveal the truth.
00:46:53Letting this misunderstanding fester
00:46:55will only breed more hatred.
00:46:56The elders have hated humans
00:46:58for generations.
00:46:59Even with proof,
00:47:00they might refuse to believe it.
00:47:01Please, Your Grace,
00:47:02be careful.
00:47:10How dare you strike in the heart
00:47:12of the dragon's nest!
00:47:13Seize him!
00:47:16Let him go.
00:47:18You won't catch him.
00:47:20Your Grace,
00:47:21you summoned us today.
00:47:23What is of such grave importance?
00:47:26Speak.
00:47:29A century ago,
00:47:30the human army laid waste
00:47:32to the dragon's nest.
00:47:33But this tragedy
00:47:35wasn't the fault of all humanity.
00:47:37Are you trying to make excuses
00:47:39for the humans?
00:47:50Are you trying to make excuses
00:47:53for the humans?
00:47:54Have any of you
00:47:56ever noticed this detail?
00:48:03It's the mark
00:48:04of the shadow dragons.
00:48:05The human king
00:48:07was blackmailed
00:48:07by the shadow dragons.
00:48:09They cursed your ancestors first,
00:48:11then made the humans
00:48:12attack when you were weak.
00:48:23This is a rub
00:48:24of the battlefield runes
00:48:25left by our ancestors.
00:48:26It records the exact time
00:48:28and location
00:48:29of the shadow dragons' movements.
00:48:33Our ancestors
00:48:34were fighting
00:48:35two forces at once.
00:48:36We always thought
00:48:38these runes
00:48:38only recorded
00:48:39the human assault.
00:48:42The first dragon king
00:48:44entrusted this jade
00:48:45to my mother's clam
00:48:46waiting for the day
00:48:47the curse
00:48:47could finally be broken.
00:48:48Does this mean
00:48:50your grace?
00:48:51You are of the
00:48:52Resonator bloodline.
00:48:53My mother was a descendant
00:48:54of the Resonators.
00:48:55She guarded this jade
00:48:56until she passed it
00:48:57down to me.
00:48:58Why didn't you mention
00:48:59this before?
00:49:01Because until today,
00:49:02I didn't have the proof
00:49:04to back it up.
00:49:20Sire!
00:49:20A massive horde
00:49:21of shadow dragon assassins
00:49:22is gathering at the border.
00:49:24Their numbers are unknown,
00:49:25but their vanguard
00:49:26has already crossed
00:49:26the Frostbine Mountains.
00:49:36Shadow demon?
00:49:39Stay put.
00:49:50Second princess Serafina
00:49:52promises that
00:49:52if the shadow dragon
00:49:53helps eliminate
00:49:54her sister,
00:49:56Alara,
00:49:57she will hand over
00:49:59the royal city
00:49:59as a stronghold
00:50:00to pave the way
00:50:01for the shadow army.
00:50:04My lord?
00:50:18Serafina god,
00:50:19I was so blind
00:50:20to trust you
00:50:21all this time.
00:50:22I even took your side
00:50:24and blamed Alara
00:50:25every damn time.
00:50:29Serafina god,
00:50:30I was so blind
00:50:32to trust you
00:50:33all this time.
00:50:35I even took your side
00:50:37and blamed Alara
00:50:37every damn time.
00:50:41Aldric,
00:50:42I'm so terrified.
00:50:45That place
00:50:46is going to be
00:50:47the death of me.
00:50:49Alara,
00:50:50you are being
00:50:50completely unreasonable.
00:51:00Alara never did
00:51:01anything wrong.
00:51:02It was me.
00:51:04I was always
00:51:05the one
00:51:05working against her.
00:51:15My lord,
00:51:17where to?
00:51:19Back to the royal city.
00:51:25Serafina,
00:51:26you vicious snake!
00:51:27You actually
00:51:28tried to have
00:51:28Alara killed!
00:51:29This time,
00:51:31I'm not choosing
00:51:32the wrong side!
00:51:44Station 50 men
00:51:46at each of the three
00:51:46Frost Ridge passes.
00:51:48Position three scout teams
00:51:49on both sides
00:51:50of the canyon
00:51:51for rotating patrols.
00:51:52What does the ritual need?
00:51:54Three things.
00:51:56Resonant blood,
00:51:57I have that.
00:51:57The amber core
00:51:58in the jade,
00:51:59and our soul bond
00:52:00already forged.
00:52:01So we're just
00:52:02one step away.
00:52:03We need a complete altar.
00:52:05According to the ancient texts,
00:52:06it has to be built
00:52:07on the third level
00:52:07beneath the dragon tower.
00:52:09The third sub-level?
00:52:11You mean the place
00:52:12that's been sealed off
00:52:13for nearly a century?
00:52:14The mine was sealed
00:52:15because of the lingering
00:52:16shadow dragon
00:52:17miyasha down there.
00:52:18But to break the curse,
00:52:20we have to go back.
00:52:21I've been down there.
00:52:22The miyasha has thinned,
00:52:24but it's not entirely gone.
00:52:25We need to clear it out
00:52:26before we step foot inside.
00:52:28Do it.
00:52:28I want it cleared
00:52:29within three days.
00:52:37My lord,
00:52:38my queen,
00:52:38an urgent dispatch
00:52:39from the human capital
00:52:40in the king's own hand.
00:52:44Your father knows.
00:52:48Aldric sent the evidence back.
00:52:50He intercepted the secret letters
00:52:51between Serafina
00:52:52and the shadow dragon.
00:52:54What's on your mind?
00:53:00What Serafina will do
00:53:02once she's summoned?
00:53:04She won't just go quietly.
00:53:06She'll either run
00:53:07or rebel.
00:53:10She still has
00:53:11the shadow dragon's forces
00:53:13backing her.
00:53:14If she flees,
00:53:16they'll exploit
00:53:17the capital's weaknesses.
00:53:18That is her path,
00:53:21not yours.
00:53:28Father,
00:53:29letters can be forged
00:53:30and handwriting
00:53:31can be faked.
00:53:35I would never
00:53:36write something like this.
00:53:40This is the token
00:53:41carried by the shadow dragon's
00:53:43messengers.
00:53:44Serafina,
00:53:45if you have no ties to them,
00:53:47why does this
00:53:48carry your aura?
00:53:50It's definitely
00:53:50the shadow dragons.
00:53:52Aldric,
00:53:52why are you doing
00:53:53this to me?
00:53:54Why would you spin
00:53:55these lies to ruin
00:53:55my life?
00:54:00And every single time
00:54:01you cried in front of me,
00:54:02I blamed her
00:54:04for your tears.
00:54:06Serafina!
00:54:07Did you even stop
00:54:08to think that if
00:54:08the shadow dragon
00:54:09took this city,
00:54:10our entire kingdom
00:54:11would be choked
00:54:11by the Maestra?
00:54:13Second Princess
00:54:14Serafina Winterburn
00:54:15for high treason
00:54:16with proof undeniable.
00:54:17Guards,
00:54:18drag her to the dungeons.
00:54:24Aldric,
00:54:26you chose her.
00:54:33Move it!
00:54:34The shadow dragon's
00:54:35forces have already
00:54:35reached the drag's nest.
00:54:37Good.
00:54:38I want Alara dead.
00:54:49You dare covet
00:54:51my home
00:54:52and touch
00:54:53what's mine?
00:54:56Let's see
00:54:57if you actually
00:54:58have the spine
00:54:59to back it up.
00:55:05Scouts report
00:55:06the shadow army
00:55:07has crossed
00:55:08the frost ridge.
00:55:09Their vanguard
00:55:10is less than
00:55:10five miles
00:55:11from the gates.
00:55:13Get down.
00:55:14Go to the tower.
00:55:16I'm not hiding.
00:55:17I'm fighting
00:55:18by your side.
00:55:21First wave
00:55:22is upcoming.
00:55:23All ground troops.
00:55:24No flyers.
00:55:27Open the gates.
00:55:28I'm going out there.
00:55:30Open the gates.
00:55:59The spirit jade
00:56:00isn't here.
00:56:10Something's off.
00:56:11Someone's been here.
00:56:13Show yourself.
00:56:20Still got that
00:56:21sharp nose, sister.
00:56:23You escaped
00:56:24the capital.
00:56:27Not just escaped.
00:56:29I'm here for
00:56:29the spirit jade.
00:56:31Hand it over
00:56:32and I'll walk.
00:56:34You seriously think
00:56:34taking the jade
00:56:35gives you control
00:56:36over the dragon's nest?
00:56:37With the jade,
00:56:37I can let shadow army.
00:56:38I just want
00:56:38Aldrich to realize
00:56:39he chose the wrong girl.
00:56:40You went through
00:56:41all this hell
00:56:41escaping the puddle,
00:56:42crossing half the tundra
00:56:43just to make him
00:56:43regret his choice?
00:56:44You don't know anything.
00:56:45You've always had it
00:56:45better than me.
00:56:46I only ever had Aldrich
00:56:47and he still chased you
00:56:48all the way to this nest.
00:56:49Give me the jade.
00:56:54The jade
00:56:55only bonds
00:56:56with the resonant bloodline.
00:57:13Don't touch her.
00:57:15You came all this way
00:57:17just to stand
00:57:19in front of her.
00:57:20Yes.
00:57:23Yes.
00:57:32Stand down.
00:57:33I broke out
00:57:34of the capital,
00:57:35crossed the entire
00:57:36tundra and drab
00:57:36reached the dragon's nest
00:57:37and stood on this
00:57:38very altar
00:57:39just for you
00:57:39to tell me to give up?
00:57:40Don't come any closer.
00:57:45Say you kill Allura.
00:57:46What then?
00:57:47The shadow dragons
00:57:48take the nest,
00:57:48lay waste to our borders
00:57:49and what's your move next?
00:57:51Would you actually kill me?
00:57:53You committed treason,
00:57:54conspiring with the shadow dragons
00:57:55to shatter the peace
00:57:56every single charge
00:57:57is a death sentence.
00:58:06Are you hurt?
00:58:07The traitor is dead.
00:58:08I was blinded by her for years,
00:58:10causing your highness
00:58:11to suffer endless
00:58:11false accusations.
00:58:13I request a trance
00:58:13to guard the border.
00:58:14The border is brutal.
00:58:16It's where I belong.
00:58:24They won't be coming up
00:58:25anytime soon.
00:58:26The altar is active.
00:58:30Then let's do this.
00:58:41Dracon, look!
00:58:42The curse is breaking!
00:58:43Your scales,
00:58:43they're actually healing!
00:58:44It's working!
00:58:45The ritual is a success!
00:58:47I know it hurts.
00:58:48Just hang in there.
00:58:49If it's too much,
00:58:50scream,
00:58:50don't try to be a hero.
00:58:51I'm right here with you.
00:58:52I'm right here with you.
00:58:53This power,
00:58:55it's tearing through
00:58:56300 years of curse buildup.
00:58:58Hold on.
00:58:59Just a bit longer,
00:59:00and we can purge this curse
00:59:01once and for all.
00:59:04It's the sound of the dragon crystal.
00:59:06Pure,
00:59:07holy light.
00:59:08They're breaking the curse.
00:59:10Dracon's ancient curse
00:59:11is being shattered.
00:59:12He's still vulnerable.
00:59:14Fall in!
00:59:15We strike now,
00:59:16disrupt the ritual,
00:59:17and rip the dragon crystal
00:59:18out of him!
00:59:26Your hand.
00:59:27You're bleeding.
00:59:28Does it hurt?
00:59:28We need to stop.
00:59:29Don't let go!
00:59:30We're at the most critical stage.
00:59:31We cannot stop now!
00:59:33The shadow barrier
00:59:34just shattered.
00:59:38Resonant blood,
00:59:40dragon crystal,
00:59:42soul covenant,
00:59:43all three aligned.
00:59:45You did what I couldn't.
00:59:48The shadow dragons.
00:59:50They are still out there.
00:59:53They charging this way.
00:59:55Are they breached?
00:59:56Almost.
00:59:57My lingering spirit
00:59:58can unleash one last burst of power
01:00:00around the altar,
01:00:01but after that,
01:00:03I will fade entirely.
01:00:04Can you hold the line?
01:00:09I can.
01:00:16The curse is broken,
01:00:18but that dragon crystal
01:00:19is still inside you.
01:00:24My queen?
01:00:25The crystal needs its resonator close
01:00:27to maintain full power.
01:00:29His curse just broke.
01:00:30His energy is highly unstable.
01:00:32If I'm out there,
01:00:33the crystal stays steady.
01:00:39Open the gates!
01:00:40Escorts, fall in!
01:00:41Support her from the gatehouse.
01:00:43Do not set one foot
01:00:44onto the open tundra.
01:00:55It's over.
01:00:59Thousands of years of bloodshed
01:01:02ended the moment
01:01:03the dragon crystal
01:01:04returned to its rightful place.
01:01:07For millennia,
01:01:09my people hid that jade away,
01:01:11my life putting it back
01:01:12where it belonged.
01:01:13A new monument
01:01:15stands at the border,
01:01:16carved with two different languages,
01:01:18but carrying the exact same message.
01:01:20From this day forth,
01:01:22no borders shall divide us.
01:01:34The jade is shattered.
01:01:36The crystal lives within us now.
01:01:38I know.
01:01:39It's just...
01:01:39I've worn it for so long
01:01:41it feels weird
01:01:41to have nothing there.
01:01:43The magic inside the jade is gone.
01:01:45There's no blue light left to feel.
01:01:47What about you?
01:01:48Do you still glow?
01:01:52Find out for yourself.
01:01:53Find out for yourself.
