00:01On my wedding night, my fianc sent me to the wrong bed, straight into the arms of his uncle, the
00:11head of the family.
00:15Kek, it's almost our wedding. I want to make you happy. Do you like me like this?
00:20God, Ella, stop trying to be seductive. In that outfit, that body, you look like a walking sack of loud.
00:27Ridiculous.
00:29Enough. Go back. You need to try on the dress and rehearse the ceremony. Behave. Don't embarrass me at the
00:35real wedding. And don't wander around.
00:37I know.
00:39I have an important guest today. My promotion to the Imperial Cap at Penzah.
00:54Uncle Clint!
00:58Uncle Clint, you must be tired from the trip. The reception room is ready. Let's talk then.
01:07Uncle Clint, I only got promoted from the Frontier to the Imperial Capital thanks to you. I really appreciate it.
01:14You truly are the pillar of House Watton, Commander of the Capital Army.
01:18Supporting the younger members of the family is my duty. I came back to take home the fiancé promised to
01:23me as a child. Is the bonding ceremony ready?
01:26Don't worry, Uncle Clint. Everything is ready.
01:29I remember. You also have a fiancé, don't you?
01:31My fiancé? She's stupid and fat. If my late mother hadn't arranged it, I never married her.
01:37So that's what Kek really thinks of me. Does he hate me that much?
01:40Miss Ella, don't just stand there. We need to try on the wedding rest. If we late, the Master will
01:45be angry again.
01:46Is Kek really going to marry me? He never lets me show my face to outsiders. Maybe I'm the only
01:52one looking forward to this wedding.
01:54Don't overthink it, Miss Ella. Master just isn't good at showing his feelings. No one cares about you more than
01:59he does. Think about it.
02:00He asked the best the tailor in the city to make your wedding dress. He does care.
02:05Right. Kek and I have known each other for over ten years. I shouldn't doubt him.
02:19To hell with House Watton. Marry a man I have never met? Not a chance.
02:24Hey.
02:27What's happening?
02:29Bride, why is your veil not on yet? The ceremony is starting. Hurry.
02:34I'm ready. Let's go.
02:40Wasn't this supposed to be just a rehearsal? Why does it feel so real?
02:44Bride, why aren't you coming? Too happy to move?
02:47That's Kek's voice. Did he move the wedding up?
02:50Come on, don't keep your green waiting.
02:52Is this a surprise for me?
02:54This really is our wedding. He remembered.
02:57When we were eight, after Kek lost his mother, his stepmother cast him into Mystic Realm Forest and monsters chased
03:03him.
03:04When danger came, I took the hit for him.
03:06Ella! Why would you do that?
03:06Kek, your mother raised me. Now that she's gone, I should protect you for her.
03:11Don't cry. I'm really high hands.
03:14Ella, don't be scared. No matter what you look like, I'll treasure you. And when we grow up, I'll marry
03:20you.
03:21You're really married.
03:24Is Kek carrying me?
03:26He hasn't held me since we grew up. He always said I was too heavy.
03:30How is this so easy for him?
03:35Hurry! The bonding ceremony is about to begin.
03:45My God, Duke Clint is really getting married.
03:48Who's that lucky girl?
03:49I'm so jealous.
03:50Duke Clint controls the Capitol Army and he's so powerful, yet he's gentle.
03:53His bride must be so happy.
04:02Summoned by true love, young lovers, do you consent to be bound?
04:06Once the true love contract is sealed, your souls are entwined forever.
04:10It can never be undone.
04:13I do.
04:14Kek's voice sounds deeper. Is he tired?
04:18Bride?
04:20I do.
04:21That voice and that body. Why does she look so much like Ella?
04:25The bond is sealed. Never abandon each other. The Divine Tree will bless you.
04:30No.
04:31Impossible.
04:32What was I thinking?
04:34Professor, something is wrong. Miss Ella.
04:38What happened to her? Is she causing trouble again?
04:41Warn her. She'd better behave or I won't spare her any dignity at the wedding.
04:46No. Miss Ella is missing.
04:51Are you alright?
04:52Behave yourself. Don't embarrass me at the wedding.
04:56I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you. I...
04:59Does your foot hurt?
05:01Did you twist it?
05:02No.
05:02There are gold coins in my shoes.
05:04They're hurting me.
05:05Gold coins?
05:07Your Grace, it's a noble wedding costume.
05:09Gold coins are placed in the bride's shoes to bless the family with eternal wealth.
05:15What?
05:15There's nothing we can do without that old costume.
05:17Your Grace, that's against the rules.
05:19You're my bride.
05:20You don't have to obey those rules.
05:24I never thought marriage would make him so gentle.
05:32Groom, you may now kiss your bride.
05:45Sir, urgent military report.
05:47A strange disaster has struck a frontier town.
05:49The forest mist is spreading.
05:51Thousands of civilians are in danger.
05:56Bring a squad.
05:57We leave at once.
05:58But your Grace, this is your bonding ceremony.
06:00You're leaving your bride behind?
06:01Don't worry.
06:02I know.
06:03I'll stay put and stay out of trouble.
06:05Go.
06:06Saving lives matters more.
06:07I thought a noble bride would be spoiled.
06:10I didn't expect her to be this understanding.
06:13Listen.
06:14Send my wife to the Imperial Capital in the finest Pegasus carriage.
06:18If anything happens to her, you'll answer to me.
06:20The Imperial Capital?
06:21Where Keck was promoted?
06:23Is he sending me there first?
06:27Strange.
06:28Your hand feels so much like Ella's.
06:30What am I thinking?
06:31I must be exhausted.
06:33Aunt, let's go.
06:36Make sure my uncle's wife gets there safely.
06:43God.
06:44Am I dreaming?
06:46Keck seems...
06:47sincere.
06:55Where is she?
06:56Ella, where are you?
06:58Come bathe me.
07:01Who gave you permission to touch me?
07:03Didn't I say no one but Ella bathes me?
07:06Mercy, Master.
07:07I'll never do it again.
07:09It's just...
07:09Miss Ella was missing, so I came instead.
07:12What?
07:13She's missing?
07:17Yes, Master.
07:18The maids teaching the wedding etiquette never saw Miss Ella.
07:22We searched the whole manor.
07:24She's nowhere to be found.
07:25What?
07:26She must be throwing a tantrum over this morning.
07:28Always causing trouble.
07:30Master.
07:31Should we go out and keep looking?
07:33Look for what?
07:34No one goes!
07:36All these years, all she's done is try to please me.
07:38She can't live without me.
07:39Once she suffers enough out there, she'll come crawling back.
07:41But...
07:42If you keep treating Miss Ella this way, you'll regret it one day.
07:53These are all for me?
07:55Yes, my lady.
07:57Don't worry.
07:58His grace had been made to your measurement.
07:59He also told us to let you wear dresses you actually love.
08:02Can I measure you?
08:04Keck, you said those noble dresses didn't suit me.
08:07What about this one?
08:08I made it myself.
08:09It took so long.
08:10Do I look a little better?
08:11Enough, Ella.
08:12With that body and face, no one cares what you wear.
08:14Stop wasting time.
08:15Stay home.
08:16Don't show your face and embarrass me.
08:18Keck really has changed.
08:21He doesn't despise me anymore.
08:23He even seems to treasure me.
08:26By the way, he...
08:27How did the rescue in the town go?
08:29Lady, disaster has tracked the mutant plague.
08:31To keep everyone safe, he isolated himself in the tower taking the garden.
08:40Sir, how are you feeling?
08:42Let me in to help.
08:43No, I'm fine.
08:45Tell everyone not don't worry.
08:47The rash is contagious.
08:48Have the soldiers protect themselves.
08:50Yes, sir.
08:50Please remember to take your medicine.
08:52The Beast King sent it.
08:53It's the best in the capital.
08:54I know.
08:59What's this?
09:00I sent it.
09:01The maids told me he's hot to the mutant plague.
09:03And we're isolated here.
09:06I made this pill.
09:07It helps with the itching.
09:08So she's controlling the little chameleon's voice.
09:12Thank you for the medicine.
09:13I used it and I feel much better.
09:16Go back now.
09:16I'll recover soon.
09:19Looks like she went back.
09:24Being stuck in a tower while you're sick must be boring.
09:27Let the little chameleon dance for you.
09:36Sorry.
09:37I'm not very good at dancing.
09:40No.
09:41You danced beautifully.
09:43I loved it.
09:45You did?
09:46Then I'll dance for you all the time.
09:48Did you add St. Bearacrass to the medicine?
09:51No wonder the butterflies follow you.
09:52I'm sorry.
09:54I added flowers to cover the smell.
09:56And I scrubbed my hands after making the medicine.
09:59I didn't think you'd still notice.
10:00I know you hate the grass.
10:02But it really can help you.
10:07It bloomed.
10:09St. Bearacrass bloomed.
10:10Keck, look.
10:11St. Bearacrass can heal your old wounds.
10:12Who permitted you to plant these lowly weeds here?
10:17I just didn't know what else to do.
10:19And this grass helps heal your wounds.
10:21Do you want everyone to know I have a foolish fiancé who only grows weeds?
10:24I really didn't know you'd come.
10:26I'll leave now.
10:26Please don't be angry.
10:28How dare you keep planting these useless weeds?
10:32No.
10:38I'm truly sorry.
10:40No.
10:40I love this scent.
10:41But besides, you never have to apologize with me.
10:46Really?
10:47Truly.
10:48When I recover and return, the garden will bloom with St. Bearacrass for you.
10:54Will that be alright?
10:59Okay.
11:01He's really changed.
11:03He's actually considering my feelings.
11:07Maybe I can allow myself to hope?
11:11Master, we found these old things in the attic.
11:14Shall we take it to the capital?
11:16Throw it away.
11:23Listen.
11:24This is my house now.
11:26I hate these cold-blooded creatures.
11:29You'd better behave, or I'll make you just like it.
11:31I don't want your father to know how I discipline you.
11:34He's rarely home.
11:36You know what to do, right?
11:37Little keck.
11:41Hey, why are you crying?
11:43Rocky.
11:45It's dead.
11:46Let it stay with you.
11:47I'll be here too.
11:51Thank you, Ella.
11:52You helped me finish it.
11:54Hasn't Ella come back yet?
11:59I really did love Ella once.
12:01When did I start finding her so annoying?
12:04Master, perhaps it started after your promotion when you took other conkinds.
12:08They were pretty, eager to please, and useful at noble banquets.
12:12Miss Ella was always so proper, and her figure was not ideal.
12:16But only Ella liked the real keck.
12:19Everyone else only wanted the power of House Watton.
12:25Listen.
12:26We're leaving for the Imperial capital soon.
12:29Take some men and find Ella.
12:31Bring her back.
12:32She's suffered enough out there.
12:34Master, but didn't you say...
12:36That was then!
12:37She's plain, defenseless, and stubborn.
12:40Wherever she goes, people will look down on her and bully her.
12:44Once you find her, send her straight to the new manor in the capital.
12:48Understood?
13:14You and I
13:17Spring is one
13:22Good night, my bride.
13:42Good heavens!
14:04My lord, my lady looks so delighted.
14:07All your efforts last night have been worthwhile.
14:09Sir, your hands are meant for the battlefield.
14:12This rough work should be left to us.
14:14Why do it yourself?
14:15I promised her I should do this myself.
14:20My lord, the masquerade ball arranged by the king is drawing near.
14:25We have just received news that your nephew, Keck of House Watton, has officially moved to the capital, and will
14:30attend on time.
14:31Understood.
14:34Look, my lady, his highness, his highness must be heading to the masquerade venue.
14:41His highness must be heading to the masquerade venue.
14:41All the imperial nobles in the city will attend today.
14:43All right, the masquerade.
14:45All right, the masquerade.
14:45I haven't prepared anything yet.
14:49Sir, this ball is arranged exactly as madam prefers.
14:54What do you think of the lake out?
14:57Not bad.

15:04Thanks to you, I've officially arrived at the imperial capital to take up my official post.
15:08Where's your fiancé?
15:10Did you bring her along?
15:12She'll be here in a couple of days.
15:14All right.
15:15Marry her as soon as you can.
15:17Marriage is actually a very good thing.
15:21Looks like you've been well since marriage, Uncle.
15:25Indeed.
15:26When I first learned of this engagement,
15:28I couldn't accept a woman I'd never even met before.
15:31But after getting along with her,
15:32I found her so sincere,
15:34lovely,
15:35and warm.
15:37She seems to want nothing but my happiness.
15:41A love like that is evil-able.
15:42Unlike me, my fiancés.
15:44Honestly, it isn't someone I can show off.
15:48Sir,
15:48the lady is almost here.

22:38What a lovely wife, Clint.
22:40You're a lucky man.
22:49Yes, being her husband is entirely my good fortune.
22:58No, this can't be real.
23:01Ella is mine.
23:02She's my fiance.
23:04No!
23:16A dream.
23:18It was just a dream, God.
23:24Ella is still missing.
23:26I can't wait anymore.
23:27I have to go back to the manor and find her myself.
23:40Where do you think you're going?
23:49Uncle Clint.
23:52You got drunk right after the ball began.
23:54I had you brought back.
23:56How do you feel?
24:02I was rude.
24:05Uncle Clint, I may need two more days before reporting to the army.
24:08There's business at the old Frontier Manor.
24:11I need to find my fiance, Ella.
24:14Ella?
24:15That's your fiance's name?
24:19Go.
24:20Find her soon.
24:22If needed, use House Watt's guards in the capital.
24:26Thank you, Uncle Clint.
24:29Ella, you'd better stop throwing a tantrum.
24:31When I get back, I'll tear the manor apart if I have to and drag you back to my side.
24:35Your Grace, will you visit the lady tonight?
24:38All right.
24:38Go.
24:52Did his grace really say he'd come to my room tonight?
24:59Of course.
25:00He said he would return to work and make up for your wedding night.
25:07Let us get ready first.
25:24These are all Keck's style.
25:26Keck once said a woman who hides her body isn't a woman at all.
25:31Even if I hate it, tonight I have to please him.
25:40My lady, choose whatever you like.
25:46But his grace said that in your room you'd feel for comfortable and happy.
25:51You don't need please anyone.
25:57He chose this himself.
25:59He thought it would make you most comfortable.
26:03He chose it for me?
26:05How did Keck change so much?
26:10Try it first.
26:12Don't waste his Grace's kindness.
26:14Maybe marriage really did make Keck settle down.
26:17I never thought he would even consider these details for me.
26:33What is it, my lady?
26:34Um, I've never spent a wedding night with a husband before.
26:37Are there any rules I must follow?
26:39Should I kneel by the bed and wait?
26:41My lady, noble brides do have many rules.
26:43But his grace dates on you so much that he'd set even sacred rules aside for you.
26:47You don't need to worry about a thing.
26:51Okay.
26:53Okay.
26:54Keck.
26:54You've become so gentle.
26:57I'm so happy.
27:11My lady, may I come in?
27:28Please, come in.
27:33Sir, urgent frontier report.
27:36A violent mutant giant vine beast has appeared deep in dark night forest outside the capital
27:41and is attacking the patrol guards.
27:45What?
27:46The wound report says its green, corrosive slime causes swelling and weight gain.
27:52Much like the lady's condition.
27:58My lady, urgent military business came up.
28:01I must handle it.
28:03Stay here and rest.
28:04I'll be back soon.
28:10Wait!
28:18Wait!
28:21Is she angry?
28:22Of course she is.
28:24I left her on our wedding night and now I'm leaving again.
28:27Sir, it really is urgent and it's near the capital.
28:30If it alarms the Beast King...
28:32I'm sorry, I...
28:34You don't need to apologize.
28:41What?
28:46I just wanted to say...
28:48The battlefield is dangerous.
28:51Please be careful.
28:52I'll wait here for you.
28:54You're doing the right thing.
28:56Don't apologize.
29:00I understand.
29:01I'll be back tonight.
29:02If you get tired, sleep first.
29:04I know.
29:12My lady, don't worry.
29:14If his grace said he'll come back, he will.
29:19Then I'll wait a little longer.
29:23I know.
29:25I know.
29:50Sorry to keep you waiting.
29:54Sleep, my bride.
29:55This time when you open your eyes, I want the first thing you see to be me.
30:26You're back.
30:27You must be tired.
30:29Yes.
30:30Did I wake you?
30:34No.
30:42What's this?
30:43This is the crystal core of the vine beast I killed today?
30:47It's poison comes from the same source as the mutant marks in your body.
30:51It may help us make an antidote.
30:53It may help us make an antidote and clear the poison from you.
30:56You went to find an antidote for me?
31:00An antidote.
31:02All these years, Keck only despised my body.
31:05But now he went out at night and hunted such a dangerous monster just for my poison.
31:10What's wrong?
31:11Don't be afraid.
31:12Even if I have to search the whole content, they'll make me well.
31:17Are these from today?
31:19They look serious.
31:22The core was harder to take than expected.
31:25It's nothing.
31:26Just a few scratches.
31:44Who are you?
31:53What's wrong?
31:56I'm your husband.
31:58Don't touch me.
32:00Who are you?
32:05I'm Clint.
32:07Clint Watten.
32:11Watten?
32:12The head of House Watten?
32:15Keck's uncle?
32:16Yes.
32:17That's right.
32:18Tell me how you know Keck.
32:20Who are you?
32:22What happened?
32:23It's alright.
32:25Whoever you are.
32:26If you don't want to say it.
32:28I know Keck because...
32:30I'm Ella Wins.
32:31Keck's fiancée.
32:48So by mistake, you wore that heavy veil, took my fiancée's place, and completed the true love contract with me.
32:58Is that right?
33:02Yes.
33:03I'm sorry, Your Grace.
33:05It was my fault.
33:06I didn't know.
33:08I told you.
33:09With me, you never have to apologize.
33:12Then where is my fiancée?
33:13She...
33:14She...
33:15She turned into a butterfly and flew away.
33:23That day in the dressing room, I saw a bride jump from the window.
33:29Butterfly wings grew from her back, and she flew away.
33:32I see.
33:35I see.
33:35I...
33:36I...
33:37I'm sorry, Uncle Clint.
33:39I didn't understand what was happening.
33:43I ruined your wedding, and your true love contract.
33:47Look at me.
33:50Do you really think you ruined my wedding?
33:53No.
33:54Quite the opposite.
33:57The butterfly bride and I should both thank you.
34:04Thank me?
34:06It was a political marriage neither of us wanted.
34:10By wearing that veil, you freed her and saved me.
34:14You ruined nothing.
34:16Do you understand?
34:20Besides, I also got what I wanted.
34:24What?
34:26Hmm.
34:29Then, what about Keck?
34:31Uncle Clint, please don't blame him.
34:34He didn't know.
34:35He wasn't trying to deceive you.
34:38You're still pleading for him?
34:39You really do care about him.
34:41Don't worry.
34:42For your sake, I won't punish him.
34:44Thank you, Uncle Clint.
34:48Can you stop calling me Uncle?
34:50You're not Keck.
34:52Huh?
34:53I mean, you may call me Clint.
34:56That's a privilege only you have.
34:58Then, what about this true love contract?
35:01We're already bound.
35:08Then, Anonk.
35:10Clint.
35:10Is there really no way to bo-break?
35:12We can't keep making this mistake.
35:15The true love contract is a sacred restraint witnessed by the Beast God.
35:19Once formed, the souls remain entwined forever unless one party dies.
35:23It can't be broken.
35:24How could this be?
35:25What should we do?
35:27I was supposed to be Keck's fiance.
35:29All right, stop crying.
35:31You're about to drown me.
35:32I'll find a way.
35:33If it can be undone, I'll do as you wish.
35:36As for Keck, I'll explain it to him myself.
35:43Then, may I go back now?
35:49You can't go back.
35:55It's too late, and the forest isn't safe.
35:58Stay here tonight.
35:59As for Keck, I'll send someone to the manor overnight and have him brought to the capital.
36:04All right?
36:07Get some sleep.
36:08Don't overthink it.
36:09I'm here.
36:30Don't overthink it.
36:40Before he goes mad and hurts Ella.
36:42Go.
36:43Yes.
36:44As you command.
36:47Useless.
36:48You're all useless!
36:50You can't even find one living woman.
36:53Why do I keep you around?
36:56Master, this isn't our fault.
36:58On the wedding day, no one saw where Miss Ella went.
37:01If someone had seen her, would I need you to search?
37:04Master, please calm down.
37:06It's like she vanished.
37:07The men searched the whole frontier town and the nearby forest overnight.
37:10There's no trace of Miss Ella.
37:15I don't care.
37:17Whatever it takes, find her.
37:19Master, there's another possibility.
37:21Could Miss Ella have run into those dangerous mutant creatures while wandering?
37:25And already...
37:27Shut up!
37:28Shut up!
37:28Are you cursing her to die?
37:32Listen to me.
37:33Even if she dies, she can only die beside me.
37:36Get out and keep searching.
37:38Bring her back, alive or dead.
37:42Get out!
37:43All of you!
37:44If you can't find her, none of you live!
37:53Could Miss Ella have run into those dangerous mutant creatures while wandering?
37:57And already...
37:59Ella...
38:00You're not allowed to die!
38:02Do you hear me?
38:04Do you hear me?
38:05Not without my permission.
38:07You promised to stay with me forever.
38:17Keck, this is Ella.
38:19From now on, she's your sister.
38:22Protect her well.
38:23Okay.
38:35Mother!
38:36I don't have a mother anymore!
38:39Ella!
38:40I don't have a mother anymore!
38:42Keck, don't cry.
38:44Madam is gone, so from now on, I'll be your family.
38:47I'll always protect you.
38:50Keek, try it on.
38:51Does it fit?
38:52I spent half a month...
38:54I don't need it.
38:55Stop wasting time.
38:56Servants can make these things.
38:57But...
38:57No buts.
38:58I'm busy, Ella.
39:00If you have nothing to do, stay by yourself and stop bothering me.
39:06Keck, your cloak...
39:11That's Keck's fiancée?
39:18Little Keck is such a saint accepting a fiancée like that.
39:22Not just accepting her.
39:23He feeds her well, too.
39:25Plenty of feed, apparently.
39:26Didn't I tell you not to come out and embarrass me?
39:28Go back!
39:29I'm not Keck's fiancée.
39:31I'm just...
39:31bringing my master his cloak.
39:34Is that so, little Keck?
39:43God, what have I done?
39:45How did I turn the girl who protect me with her life into that?
39:49Ella, I'm sorry.
39:51I was wrong.
39:53Am I destined to lose the last person who loved me?
39:58Master!
39:59We found her!
40:00We found Miss Ella!
40:01Where?
40:01Where is she?
40:02Why didn't you bring her back?
40:03Is she hurt?
40:04Speak!
40:05Are you deaf?
40:06Miss Ella married the wrong man.
40:08She married your uncle, Duke Clint.
40:11What...
40:11What are you talking about?
40:12My uncle married a noble lady.
40:14How could that be?
40:16It's true, Master.
40:18On the day of the bonding ceremony,
40:20the Duke's bride ran away.
40:22Miss Ella wore the veil by mistake and took her place.
40:27No wonder.
40:29No wonder she felt exactly like Ella.
40:31I was a fool.
40:32I didn't recognize her.
40:35Prepare the carriage!
40:36Now!
40:36I'm going back to the capital!
40:38I need to see!
40:41Sir,
40:42you haven't had a sip of water since last night.
40:44You don't have to wait for my lady.
40:46Waiting to share breakfast with my wife is called respect.
40:52She's here.
40:53I'm sorry, Uncle.
40:56Clint,
40:57I overslept
40:58and kept you waiting.
41:01It's alright.
41:01I just got here.
41:19Is there something on my face?
41:24No.
41:25I'm just curious.
41:27Curious about what?
41:28What exactly do you like about Keck?
41:31What?
41:32He treated you so badly.
41:34What exactly do you like about him?
41:36When we were children,
41:37Keck wasn't like this.
41:38As we grew up,
41:39the gap between us grew.
41:40He became a noble officer
41:41and I stayed like this.
41:42He's just...
41:43quick-tempered.
41:44You can't even name one real reason.
41:46Ella,
41:46maybe you're just used to depending on him
41:48and protecting him.
41:50Maybe it's gratitude.
41:51Maybe habit.
41:52But it isn't love.
41:54What?
41:55Nothing.
41:56You'll understand one day.
41:57I...
41:58I'm full.
41:59I'll go change.
42:02All right.
42:08Sir,
42:08it seems you truly like the lady.
42:10But everything she did for you,
42:12even her intimacy,
42:12because she thought you were Master Keck,
42:14wasn't it?
42:14But her warmth,
42:16her medicine,
42:16her sunshine.
42:17I was the one who received them.
42:19I was the one she healed.
42:21I care only about the result.
42:25Where's Ella?
42:28Where is she?
42:30Uncle Clint,
42:30where's Ella?
42:31Keck,
42:32greet your elder first.
42:34Uncle Clint,
42:35forgive my rudeness.
42:35I was too anxious.
42:37Please,
42:38Uncle Clink,
42:39let me see Ella.
42:40Get up.
42:41I'll take you to her.
42:50Ella,
42:51may we come in?
42:53Ella,
42:54are you in there?
42:55It's Keck.
42:56I'm here to take you home.
42:58We're going in!
43:00Keck,
43:00don't forget the rules.
43:02This is her room.
43:03We respect her.
43:07Why is it so quiet inside?
43:09My lady isn't in danger,
43:10is she?
43:15This...
43:15Ella was kidnapped?
43:17God.
43:18The castle guards are so strict.
43:20Who could have taken her?
43:23The Sutton family.
43:25Your fiancé's family?
43:29Are you sure,
43:30Uncle?
43:30Why would they kidnap Ella?
43:32Damn it!
43:36Sir.
43:38Sir!
43:39Sutton Manil sent an urgent letter,
43:41addressed to you by name.
43:44Duke Clint.
43:46The Sutton family still needs an explanation
43:48for the marriage alliance between our families,
43:50does it not?
43:50By the end of today,
43:51we expect to see you at Sutton Manon.
43:54Bring no soldiers.
43:55So Ella really is in their hands.
43:56But sir,
43:57they asked you to go alone.
43:59What if it's a trap?
44:00Yes.
44:02If anything happens to you,
44:03the entire capital army will fall into chaos.
44:06I don't care.
44:07Every minute Ellie is there
44:09is another minute of danger.
44:10Ready the dragons.
44:11Uncle Clint,
44:12I'm going with you.
44:13Ella is my fiancé.
44:14I won't stand by.
44:15If you come,
44:16keep up.
44:37Your grace,
44:38you came.
44:39Enough!
44:40Where's Ella?
44:41Where are you hiding her?
44:43Keck,
44:44shut up.
44:45Uncle Clint,
44:46Ella is inside.
44:47I said shut up.
44:49Ella is in their hands.
44:51You don't want anything to happen to her,
44:53do you?
44:53Why does Uncle Clint seem so anxious about Ella?
44:56Has he fallen for her too?
44:58Enough standing outside.
45:00Since you're here,
45:02come in.
45:13Sutton Manson has stood for a hundred years.
45:17Since you're here,
45:19allow me to show you around.
45:21Lead the way.
45:22We will follow.
45:23Look,
45:24these are portraits of every marriage alliance
45:27between House Watton and House Sutton.
45:29They are all your ancestors.
45:32Why are you showing us this?
45:34Because we Suttons are the rarest,
45:36yet weakest butterfly beastmen on this continent.
45:39For centuries,
45:40we relied on marriage with House Watton
45:43to secure our noble standing.
45:45That is how we survived in this empire.
45:48But this time,
45:49for one ordinary fat woman,
45:51you've destroyed the alliance
45:52our families maintained for centuries.
45:54You're cutting off the Sutton family's lifeline.
45:57We all know about the engagement.
45:59Why not state your demand directly?
46:13You old fox!
46:15Get this straight!
46:16Rachel of the Sutton family
46:18broke the engagement by running away.
46:20You failed to control your own daughter.
46:22Why blame innocent Ella?
46:24She knew nothing!
46:26I never blamed Miss Ella,
46:28nor do I intend to hurt her.
46:30After all,
46:31she's now the Sutton family's most honored guest.
46:35Old Sutton.
46:37What do you want?
46:38I only want the engagement restored.
46:41Since you and Miss Ella formed a true love contract,
46:44it can't be broken in this lifetime
46:46unless one of you dies.
46:49Correct?
46:49What did you do to Ella?
46:52Say it.
46:53I did nothing.
46:54I only wanted to see what place this girl holds in your heart.
46:58And now it's clear.
47:00The head of House Wanton came alone
47:02and lost control for her.
47:05Clint, you love her.
47:06Yes.
47:07I love her.
47:13Listen, Sutton.
47:14Release her.
47:16You want security.
47:17House Wadden can give up taxia views
47:19from three frontier provinces
47:21and cooperate with the Sutton family.
47:23That's worth far more than an unwilling Rachel.
47:26That's worth far more than an unwilling Rachel.
47:26Tax revenues from three provinces.
47:29That's nearly a quarter of House Wadden's frontier lifeline.
47:32Uncle is willing to give up that much for Ella.
47:36A generous offer, but I'm no child.
47:39Cooperation is just paper.
47:41It can be torn up anytime.
47:42Without a marriage bond,
47:44what stops you from devouring my weak butterfly beastmen
47:47when you regret this?
47:49As I see it,
47:50there's only one way to preserve the century-old alliance
47:54between House Sutton and House Wadden.
47:57Make that fat girl Ella disappear forever.
48:01Try it!
48:02Once she dies,
48:03the true love contract ends.
48:05Then you may choose another noble daughter
48:07from the Sutton family
48:08and renew the marriage alliance.
48:10That's the only solution.
48:11Sutton, listen carefully.
48:13Touch one hair on her head,
48:14and there will be no butterfly beastmen left in this capital.
48:17I will wipe out your entire clan.
48:18Clint, you're mad!
48:20For a plain, fat, low-born woman,
48:23you would risk a century of alliance
48:25and make enemies across the Empire?
48:27You would destroy everything for her?
48:34Say one more word!
48:36If you don't release her,
48:38we'll flatten this manor and take Ella back!
48:42Think carefully, Clint.
48:44The Sutton family may not be strong in battle,
48:47but for a hundred years we've built influence and schemes.
48:51Will you truly declare war on us
48:53for a plain, fat woman with no bloodline?
48:55Are you prepared to bear that cost?
49:00Trouble?
49:00Trouble is the last thing I fear.
49:03Listen well.
49:04I, Clint Watton,
49:06will never sacrifice the woman I love
49:08for power or profit.
49:09As long as I live,
49:11no one touches Ella.
49:12He really loves
49:13this fat, foolish, useless...
49:17Mad!
49:18You're a madman!
49:21You're a madman!
49:25Ella?
49:54Put her down, you damn beast!
49:57Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
50:00Clint!
50:01You claim she's as the woman you love.
50:03If you can,
50:04come to Deathcliff and take her back.
50:07Ha ha ha ha ha!
50:13You're dead.
50:39Put her down, we can still talk.
50:42Put her down?
50:43If I let her go,
50:44the Sutton family becomes
50:46the capital's laughing stock,
50:48and the Watton alliance is over!
50:51Stop!
50:53Rachel?
50:54You ungrateful girl!
50:56You dare come back!
50:58Do you know how many years
50:59of planning you ruined
51:00by running away?
51:02Father, stop.
51:04Don't make another mistake.
51:05Don't hurt innocent people.
51:07Innocent?
51:08Because of your selfishness,
51:10the Sutton family
51:11became a joke
51:12across the empire.
51:14We butterfly beastmen
51:16are born weak.
51:17In a world ruled by strength,
51:19without someone to rely on,
51:21we die.
51:22Rely on others?
51:24Is that what you call
51:25a foundation living forever
51:26like parasites?
51:27I refuse to be a tool
51:29for marriage.
51:30Father, open your eyes.
51:32We may not have
51:32House Watton's brute power,
51:34but we have strategy
51:35and intelligence.
51:36I can restore
51:36the Sutton family's glory myself.
51:40Duke Sutton,
51:41Miss Rachel is right.
51:43Times have changed.
51:45A family's peace,
51:46bought with women's tears
51:48and lifelong misery,
51:49is nothing but an illusion.
51:50As head of House Watton,
51:52I solemnly promise you
51:54and the Sutton family this.
51:55I will personally sign
51:56an eternal alliance pact
51:58and ended the old marriage bondage.
52:00House Watton will fully support
52:01Miss Rachel
52:02as she leads the Sutton family
52:03and restores through Talageth.
52:05Perhaps,
52:06I truly am old.
52:08I thought only marriage
52:10could preserve our glory.
52:11I will recall the dragon
52:13and release Miss Ella now.
52:34Damn beast.
52:36Who told you to let go?
52:56No, no, no, no.
53:00No, no, no.
53:15Clint...
53:23Don't be afraid. I'm here.
53:29Ella, open your eyes.
53:36Clint? Wake up! Please don't scare me!
53:44You're my bride. You don't have to obey those rules.
53:58What's wrong? Don't be afraid. Even if I have to search the entire continent, I'll make you well.
54:05Ella, maybe you're just used to depending on him and protecting him. Maybe it's gratitude, maybe habit, but it isn't
54:12love.
54:13What?
54:14Nothing. You'll understand one day.
54:16I was so stupid. I thought I loved Keck, but that was never love. It was childhood gratitude. It was
54:24my habit of lowering myself to please him.
54:27Clint, you're the one I love. You're the one chosen by the true love contract on my wrist. Please, open
54:36your eyes. If you live, I'll give you anything.
54:44I was so stupid. How could I mistake gratitude for love and took your devotion for granted? Clint, please open
54:54your eyes. If you die, I won't go on living either.
55:23I won't go on living either.
55:24Stop crying, silly. I'm not dead yet.
55:29You scared me to death. You scared me to death. Clint, I love you. I'll never leave you again.
55:40Me too.
55:49Keck, have you really decided to leave?
55:53Yes. It's a good opportunity. And what else can I do if I stay? Am I supposed to stand at
55:59every banquet and politely call the woman I love aunt?
56:04But-
56:05Enough, Ella. Say one more word and I may not leave.
56:13Keck, I don't blame you for the past anymore. Take care of yourself at the frontier.
56:21Goodbye, my girl.
56:22Hello.
56:24No.
56:37No.
56:39No.
56:42No.
56:48That's enough, little Keck. The Pegasus carriage is leaving. Time for you to go.
57:03Uncle, I'm already leaving. Still this jealous?
57:07I'm leaving Ella with you. But if I ever hear she's been wronged, I'll risk my life and come back
57:12to the capital to take her back.
57:15You'll never have that chance.
57:33Have you looked enough?
57:35I have. From now on, Clint, I only have eyes for you.
57:44I have.
57:44I have.
57:45I have.
57:45I have.
57:45I have.
57:45I have.
