FunTranscript
00:00:10It is done.
00:00:15Only the prophesied maiden can break it.
00:00:19No one knows the truth.
00:00:20I'm not me.
00:00:21I choose silence.
00:00:25Duke Cassian is dying.
00:00:27The curse consumes him by the day.
00:00:29Only the prophesied maiden can break it.
00:00:32My task is to bring her.
00:00:38This is more Cain than you'll see in several lifetimes.
00:00:42If the Duke dies of the curse, the sacrificial bride dies with him.
00:00:47The wedding must happen tonight.
00:00:50None!
00:00:51Take her!
00:00:51As long as the Duke's family doesn't mind a mute.
00:00:55She's yours!
00:00:56Fed her long enough.
00:00:58Time for she to earn her keep!
00:01:01My oldest sister married a blacksmith.
00:01:03The second one's a sweet talker and good with her hands.
00:01:06He'd never let her go.
00:01:07And me?
00:01:08I've never spoken a word.
00:01:10Trading the useless mutt for a bag of gold.
00:01:12In his eyes, it's a steal.
00:01:20Go.
00:01:21The prophesied maiden has been found.
00:01:28Five years I've fed you, and not a damn sound!
00:01:31You useless waste of space!
00:01:48Once you're in that castle, nothing but a servant to the Duke, you hear me?
00:01:52Keep the Duchess happy.
00:01:54And don't you ever crawl back here!
00:02:05Time to go, girl.
00:02:07My task is complete.
00:02:26Clara's favorite honey cakes.
00:02:29She must have saved these for ages.
00:02:35She couldn't save me.
00:02:37This fate was never hers to change.
00:02:39Wait until she leaves.
00:02:42So what?
00:02:43No-
00:03:02What?
00:03:03I was terrified, baby.
00:03:03You're was terrified, baby.
00:03:04Now, I'm scared.
00:03:04I'm scared.
00:03:07You're too scared.
00:03:09This union is sealed.
00:03:12So Cassian really can't even get out of bed?
00:03:16It is done.
00:03:27My lady, please hurry.
00:03:30The rumours are true.
00:03:32That coffin, it's meant to imprison the curse.
00:03:37Leave us.
00:03:58Are you afraid of me?
00:04:06Are you afraid of me?
00:04:12Take this and go.
00:04:14Leave now while you still can.
00:04:28I'm alright. Don't call the guards.
00:04:33Could you pour me some water?
00:04:45I know my condition. You should never have been pulled into this.
00:04:49Forgive me. After tonight, leave this place. I will handle everything.
00:04:53I am.
00:04:58You cannot speak?
00:05:11If you won't go, then allow me this one selfish wish.
00:05:16As long as I draw breath, I will protect you.
00:05:19Even if the curse claims me tomorrow, I will see that you are provided for.
00:05:24May the goddess of life grant you a long life.
00:05:28If you are done, I will.
00:05:31Will shall it be done?
00:05:31I will.
00:05:32See you later.
00:05:35I'll be okay with you.
00:05:35Is it yours?
00:05:40Is it yours?
00:05:42Is it yours?
00:05:42Is it yours?
00:05:43Is it yours?
00:05:43Is it yours?
00:05:44Is it yours?
00:05:45Is it yours?
00:05:47Is it yours?
00:05:47will hear it. You will live. No one knows the truth. I'm not mute. I choose silence.
00:05:55Bloom.
00:06:04Heal. No more pain.
00:06:10This magic demands a cruel price. Every time I speak the words, a piece of me dies. My
00:06:17feelings. My warmth. Until I become cold as stone. Five years! Still mute! Useless. Dull as a rock.
00:06:28Sold! Take her now!
00:06:32Maybe marrying Duke Cassian isn't the worst fate after all.
00:06:40Could you help me up?
00:06:53Hilara. I'll come with you to the dining hall.
00:06:55Hilara. He knows my name.
00:07:02Father, this is my son. Please, he's going to be a knight one day.
00:07:08Roland. It means glory and protection.
00:07:11Roland. A great name.
00:07:16And this one?
00:07:17Call her Hilara. A humble morning star.
00:07:22Roland. A name of blessing.
00:07:25And mine.
00:07:27Was just an afterthought.
00:07:35The Duke. He's walking on his own.
00:07:37Without his attendants.
00:07:46Cassian!
00:07:47What are you doing out of bed?
00:07:53Hilara.
00:07:54This is my father.
00:07:55The Duke of Stirling.
00:07:56And this is my mother.
00:08:01Mother, don't worry.
00:08:03The curse has eased a great deal.
00:08:05And much better.
00:08:07Forgive me for causing you both such grief.
00:08:10Oh, thank the gods!
00:08:12The prophecy was real!
00:08:14Cassian is out of bed!
00:08:16This bride was the right choice!
00:08:18Yes!
00:08:20Yes!
00:08:21Yes!
00:08:22Yes!
00:08:24Yes!
00:08:26Yes!
00:08:27Mother, you're overwhelming her.
00:08:33Forgive me.
00:08:35I nearly forgot the gift.
00:08:40This is the heirloom of the Lady of House Stirling.
00:08:44Today, it passes to you.
00:08:51Enough fresh air.
00:08:53Let's head to the dining hall.
00:08:56Back in that house, breakfast was burnt porridge or black bread hard as stone.
00:09:00The smell of butter and roast meat.
00:09:03Only father and my brother got to eat like this.
00:09:10Try this.
00:09:11Rosemary and honeyed apple.
00:09:13The head chef's specialty.
00:09:14I hope you'll like it.
00:09:17So this is what good food tastes like.
00:09:33Slow down.
00:09:35If you enjoy it, I'll have the chef prepare it for you every day.
00:09:42Oh no.
00:09:43I must look I haven't eaten in years.
00:09:45I've embarrassed him completely.
00:09:48Compared to him, I look like a total savage.
00:09:54Nonsense.
00:09:55A healthy appetite is a blessing.
00:09:57House Stirling can feed her just fine.
00:10:00Silly girl.
00:10:01You're home now.
00:10:03Forget the rules.
00:10:04Eat to your heart's content.
00:10:08Mother.
00:10:10Alara just hasn't had food this good before.
00:10:13In time, she'll adjust.
00:10:17She has a pure heart.
00:10:19A hundred times better than those pretentious, two-faced noble ladies in the royal city.
00:10:28That was thoughtless of me.
00:10:30From now on, the kitchen will prepare your meals just the way you like them.
00:10:34Well said.
00:10:35As long as the curse leaves Cassian alone and Alara eats well, that's all that matters.
00:10:43Cassian, you two should go back and rest.
00:10:47Alara, stay with him.
00:10:49If anything happens, call for help at once.
00:10:51Yes, mother.
00:10:58Did you see?
00:10:59The duke is really out of bed.
00:11:01The prophecy must be real.
00:11:02The young lady is blessed by the gods.
00:11:04Blessed?
00:11:05She's nothing but a mute peasant girl who can't even read her own name.
00:11:09Pairing her with our brilliant, handsome duke, she's a stain on the sterling bloodline.
00:11:13Quiet.
00:11:14I saw her at breakfast.
00:11:15She ate like a starving beggar, not a trace of noble manners.
00:11:18She's just lucky some witch said she could break the duke's curse.
00:11:21Just wait.
00:11:22She's nothing but a tool.
00:11:23Once the curse is truly broken, I doubt she'll last long.
00:11:28Come out.
00:11:30Now.
00:11:34Your Grace, we were just talking nonsense.
00:11:37Please, have mercy.
00:11:39Who gave you of my wife like that in my own castle?
00:11:42It was them.
00:11:43We'll never do it again.
00:11:44Please, my lady, have mercy.
00:11:46My lord, forgive us.
00:11:47Take them away.
00:11:49Let the law deal with them.
00:11:50Permanently vanished from sterling territory.
00:11:54Please, no!
00:11:56Have mercy!
00:12:01I'm sorry you had to hear that.
00:12:05Alara, you are the Lady of Sterling.
00:12:08I brought you here myself.
00:12:10No one dares disrespect you.
00:12:25Don't pull away.
00:12:28What they said, did it upset you?
00:12:45The curse, it could harm you, too.
00:12:54May the goddess of life grant you a long life.
00:12:58He's so handsome.
00:13:00To think he's been cursed by dark magic since childhood.
00:13:03He's so kind to me.
00:13:05I want him to recover faster.
00:13:14My lady.
00:13:18Duchess.
00:13:20My lady, the Duke's meals are strictly the head chef's duty.
00:13:22If you're hungry, I'll send refreshments to the East Wing.
00:13:25You do not belong here.
00:13:30Is she?
00:13:32Is she going to cook herself?
00:13:43That smells incredible.
00:13:45Even better than the head chef's cooking.
00:13:48This is the one thing I can do for him.
00:13:50He gave me respect and warmth.
00:13:52I want him to get well soon.
00:13:57My lady, hold it right there.
00:14:00The Duke's health is delicate.
00:14:02We don't just feed him any slop.
00:14:05If your crude peasant cooking harms him, who will answer for it?
00:14:08An illiterate mute from the countryside daring to cook for the Duke.
00:14:11Take your tray back to the East Wing.
00:14:13Don't humiliate yourself here.
00:14:19Stop!
00:14:30Your Grace.
00:14:31Did it burn you?
00:14:40You dared to raise your hand against her?
00:14:42Your Grace, I was only afraid her...
00:14:45peasant food might harm you.
00:14:47I merely...
00:14:47Concerned.
00:14:48You show your concern by blocking my wife
00:14:50and trying to spill the soup she made for me with her own hands?
00:14:56Martha has disrespected the lady of the house.
00:14:59Strip her rank.
00:15:00Banish her from Sterling lands forever.
00:15:02Your Grace.
00:15:03I've served house Sterling for 12 years.
00:15:06Please, I beg you.
00:15:07Show mercy.
00:15:12Please, let me go.
00:15:14I didn't mean it.
00:15:17You made this soup yourself?
00:15:25Does he think it's terrible?
00:15:26The kitchen maids use castle recipes.
00:15:28I only know the country way.
00:15:29It's been a long time since I tasted something so good.
00:15:33Honestly, it beats the head chef.
00:15:34He says it's better than the chef.
00:15:36He's just being kind.
00:15:38But he hasn't stopped eating.
00:15:47Elora, let me teach you to read.
00:15:49I could learn to read.
00:15:51A mute like me is lucky just to be breathing.
00:15:53Reading and writing.
00:15:55I never even dared to dream it.
00:15:59Then it's a deal.
00:16:01I'll teach you letters,
00:16:02and you'll teach me sign language.
00:16:04When you're happy or mad,
00:16:05you can write it down.
00:16:08Whatever you want to eat.
00:16:09Whatever you want to do.
00:16:13I'll know instantly.
00:16:15Elora, I want to hear you.
00:16:18No one has ever said that to me.
00:16:20In that house,
00:16:22I was invisible.
00:16:24Let alone understood.
00:16:39Write the letters I taught you yesterday.
00:16:41Let me see.
00:16:54Relax.
00:16:55Writing isn't like chopping firewood.
00:16:58You don't need to use all your strength.
00:17:07Do you know what your name means?
00:17:09El means light.
00:17:11Ara means the favored one.
00:17:15Elora, you are blessed by the light.
00:17:17Gregor said the priest just flipped to a random page and picked it.
00:17:21He said it meant
00:17:22a humble morning star.
00:17:25But you tell me I am blessed by the light.
00:17:32And this one?
00:17:34Do you recognize it?
00:17:39H-O-M-E
00:17:42It means home.
00:18:00This is the crest of House Sterling.
00:18:02And now, it's yours too.
00:18:07Home.
00:18:08He said this is my home.
00:18:25So this is why the study is so quiet.
00:18:28You've been playing teacher.
00:18:32Home.
00:18:33You wrote it beautifully.
00:18:37It's cold in here.
00:18:39Rest when you're tired.
00:18:42Drink your milk while it's warm.
00:18:45In that house,
00:18:46I chopped wood until my hands bled
00:18:48and no one blinked.
00:18:51Here,
00:18:52I write a few letters
00:18:53and they worry I'm too cold.
00:18:56So this is what it feels like
00:18:58to be family.
00:19:07This one.
00:19:08It's perfect for you.
00:19:13Try it on.
00:19:17I've never worn anything so fine.
00:19:19My clothes were always Clara's hand-me-downs,
00:19:22patched at the cuffs when they frayed.
00:19:25My child,
00:19:26you are a lady of House Sterling now.
00:19:28You'll need time to get used to this.
00:19:32Go change.
00:19:33I'll wait right here.
00:19:43I knew it.
00:19:46House Sterling never lets its daughters-in-laws freeze.
00:19:50Not in body
00:19:51and not in spirit.
00:20:08You look beautiful.
00:20:15Eleanor, did you pick that gown?
00:20:17Who else would it be?
00:20:23Fresh from the kitchen,
00:20:24eat while it's warm.
00:20:25I heard you like sweets.
00:20:27They even know I have a sweet tooth.
00:20:29I remember when stepmother made honey cakes.
00:20:33Roland ate three
00:20:33and told me there was nothing left.
00:20:44I'll have the maids bring you more dresses this afternoon.
00:20:47Spring is coming.
00:20:48You'll need lighter things.
00:20:49He said spring is almost here.
00:20:52He's thinking about my future.
00:20:54In that house,
00:20:55no one ever cared if I even had a tomorrow.
00:20:58They truly see me as family.
00:21:05Alara!
00:21:06Your brother's about to enter the Knight's Academy
00:21:08and we're still short ten gold coins!
00:21:10I raised you all these years
00:21:12and now you marry into a Duke's house
00:21:14and forget your own blood?
00:21:16Ungrateful wretch!
00:21:17Without me,
00:21:18you would have starved to death long ago!
00:21:24You've already been paid in gold.
00:21:31What does that pentimus matter?
00:21:33Your brother is the only son of this family!
00:21:37You ungrateful brat!
00:21:52Who exactly do you think you're hitting?
00:22:00Alara bears the name Sterling now.
00:22:03She is a daughter of this house.
00:22:09Come, child.
00:22:10Stand behind me.
00:22:12She called me
00:22:12a daughter of this house.
00:22:14No one has ever
00:22:15shielded me like this.
00:22:17I am her father.
00:22:19What right do you have
00:22:20to stop me from disciplining my own daughter?
00:22:23Because
00:22:26she is my wife.
00:22:28And my daughter.
00:22:29Escort them off Sterling Lands.
00:22:31From this day forward,
00:22:33neither of them sets foot
00:22:34near this castle
00:22:35without my permission.
00:22:52I have a contract!
00:22:54Signed and sealed!
00:22:55Every coin spent on her keep
00:22:56right here!
00:22:57Does a Duke refuse to pay his debts?
00:22:59Exactly!
00:23:00Eighteen years of food,
00:23:01clothes, everything.
00:23:02You think that came free?
00:23:03She pressed her own thumbprint
00:23:05to this debt.
00:23:14Would you like to see it?
00:23:23This signature.
00:23:24What does it say?
00:23:36Write your name.
00:23:42A forged contract.
00:23:44What is the punishment
00:23:45for that under Sterling law?
00:23:50Forgery?
00:23:50Forgery?
00:23:51Forgery?
00:23:51She...
00:23:51She'd hurt her hand.
00:23:53That's why the writing is crooked.
00:23:55I have no memory
00:23:56of signing anything.
00:24:17Blackmailing the lady of the house
00:24:18and forgery.
00:24:19Two counts.
00:24:21Drag them to the territorial court.
00:24:26Elara!
00:24:27I am your father!
00:24:29You will always be a child of this family!
00:24:32I am your father!
00:24:35Home.
00:24:36I have a home now.
00:24:43If you don't want a sign,
00:24:45you don't have to.
00:24:48The moment you took that gold,
00:24:50you ceased to be my father.
00:25:05This is the heirloom
00:25:06of the lady of house Sterling.
00:25:08I pass it on to you.
00:25:16But this...
00:25:19This is not from a duchess
00:25:21to her daughter-in-law.
00:25:22It's from a mother
00:25:23to her daughter.
00:25:4820 years ago,
00:25:49on the night of Cassian's
00:25:51succession ceremony,
00:25:52the old temple priest
00:25:53tampered with the ritual.
00:25:54From that day on,
00:25:55his health deteriorated.
00:25:56When the dark mark spread,
00:25:58even breathing brought him pain.
00:25:59The prophecy only said
00:26:01a bride born under the blood moon
00:26:02could turn the tide of the curse.
00:26:04Please don't blame me, child.
00:26:06The prophecy never said
00:26:07how to break the curse.
00:26:08For Cassian's sake,
00:26:09we had no choice.
00:26:11Once you entered house Sterling,
00:26:13you became our own.
00:26:14I will do everything in my power
00:26:16to keep both my children alive.
00:26:18She never asked
00:26:19if I could save him.
00:26:21She simply took me in
00:26:22as her own.
00:26:33You've been avoiding me all day.
00:26:42You've been avoiding me all day.
00:26:44Is it because of what my mother said?
00:26:47The prophecy belongs to others.
00:26:50It was never your burden to bear.
00:26:55Do you hear it?
00:26:56It's still beating.
00:27:00Not because of some prophecy.
00:27:02Because of you.
00:27:08He said it's not because of the prophecy.
00:27:22Lara, you owe no one anything.
00:27:24From now on,
00:27:25do only what you want to do.
00:27:28Do you know what I want most right now?
00:27:42Stay with me tonight.
00:27:44But only if you say yes.
00:27:46He placed the choice in my hands.
00:27:49So this is what love can be.
00:27:52Waiting for my yes.
00:28:08Stay a little longer.
00:28:14Why are you so far away?
00:28:16You weren't this distant last night.
00:28:20He did that on purpose.
00:28:25I meant every word I said last night.
00:28:28From now on,
00:28:29if you want to be close,
00:28:30be close.
00:28:31If you need to be alone,
00:28:32be alone.
00:28:34It's always your choice.
00:28:42I accept that choice.
00:28:54My lady, Lord Cassian,
00:28:56looks healthier every day.
00:28:59Indeed.
00:29:00It seems spring has truly arrived.
00:29:14I want to see spring,
00:29:27summer, and autumn,
00:29:28and many, many years.
00:29:31And if all those years ahead
00:29:33had you in them,
00:29:35that would be even better.
00:29:57you know,
00:29:58I used to hate it when people came to see me.
00:30:02Because everyone who saw the curse
00:30:03was afraid.
00:30:05They'd look at me with pity
00:30:07or they'd keep their distance.
00:30:09Sometimes I even thought
00:30:11if I died,
00:30:12everyone would be better off.
00:30:15But what if
00:30:17one day the curse
00:30:18truly takes my life?
00:30:30I have you to lean on now.
00:30:32And from this day forward,
00:30:34whatever happens,
00:30:36I will be your rock.
00:30:37All my life,
00:30:39everything I faced,
00:30:40I faced alone.
00:30:42Now there's someone
00:30:43who can be my refuge.
00:31:08Duke Cassian's returning health
00:31:09is a blessing to all of Stirling.
00:31:11By tradition,
00:31:12the lady of the house
00:31:13should offer the toast.
00:31:14Lady Alera,
00:31:15if you please.
00:31:16He doesn't want a toast.
00:31:18He wants to watch me
00:31:19humiliate myself.
00:31:29From this day forward,
00:31:31Alara is the heir and mistress
00:31:33of House Stirling.
00:31:35Allow me to speak the toast
00:31:37on her behalf.
00:31:39To House Stirling
00:31:40and to its lady.
00:31:45In front of everyone,
00:31:47he gave me the Duke's
00:31:48signet ring.
00:31:49Since the young lady
00:31:50now runs the estate,
00:31:51perhaps she could do
00:31:52a good deed for the territory.
00:31:53The winter is harsh,
00:31:55the starving are many.
00:31:56Does my lady have a solution?
00:32:09By decree of Lady Alara,
00:32:11all surplus from tonight's banquet
00:32:13will be sent to the chapel
00:32:14tomorrow for a soup pouch.
00:32:17Excellent.
00:32:18We'll be counting on you,
00:32:20Count.
00:32:21Hmm.
00:32:29Since you've given
00:32:30your first decree,
00:32:31it's time you took
00:32:32the reins of the household.
00:32:34If my lady wishes
00:32:36to audit the books,
00:32:37I am, of course,
00:32:39entirely at her disposal.
00:32:42This is the master ledger
00:32:44for the past three years.
00:32:46Take your time, my lady.
00:32:48If anything is
00:32:49too complicated,
00:32:50just ask.
00:33:00Winter wheat.
00:33:01The exact same shipment.
00:33:03Logged as received
00:33:04three separate times.
00:33:06Cassian taught me this.
00:33:07The same shipment
00:33:08arriving on the same day
00:33:10can only be logged once.
00:33:19What does the young lady
00:33:20mean by this?
00:33:21Winter wheat.
00:33:23Entered into inventory
00:33:24three times.
00:33:30Care to explain
00:33:31these ledger entries?
00:33:32Now.
00:33:34This...
00:33:35This must be
00:33:35a slip of the pen.
00:33:36Sloppy clerks,
00:33:37Your Grace.
00:33:38I will investigate at once.
00:33:44Are you trying
00:33:45to snatch evidence
00:33:46from her hands?
00:33:55You can't do this.
00:33:56I've been chief accountant
00:33:57for twenty years.
00:33:59These are honest mistakes.
00:34:01Mistakes?
00:34:02Do I look like a fool to you?
00:34:04Or do you think
00:34:05my lady is one?
00:34:06Your Grace,
00:34:07my lady,
00:34:08please show lenientness.
00:34:10Alara,
00:34:11the affairs of this household
00:34:13are now yours to command.
00:34:14The decision is yours.
00:34:28My lady,
00:34:29mercy!
00:34:36Alara,
00:34:37you were incredible.
00:34:38Only a few days
00:34:39with the ledgers
00:34:40and you crack a complex fraud
00:34:41on your first try.
00:34:42and the way you handled
00:34:44an old retainer.
00:34:46Measured and iron-fisted,
00:34:48you exceed all my expectations.
00:34:51So I'm not just a burden
00:34:52hanging on to him.
00:34:53I can stand on my own,
00:34:55handle things,
00:34:56and truly be of use to him.
00:35:04Sister!
00:35:06You're finally back!
00:35:07You have to save us,
00:35:08please!
00:35:11I'm sorry.
00:35:13We didn't want to bother you,
00:35:14but we're completely
00:35:14out of options.
00:35:24Tell me what happened.
00:35:26Speak plainly.
00:35:27Sister!
00:35:29Father's been attacked!
00:35:30The Detrivers said
00:35:32if we don't pay,
00:35:33they'll cut off his hands!
00:35:34You're living in a castle,
00:35:36draped in silk and gold,
00:35:38while we're left to die!
00:35:43Father only borrowed the money
00:35:45so Roland could enter
00:35:46the Knight's Academy.
00:35:47You're a lady of House Sterling now.
00:35:49That amount of coin
00:35:50is nothing to you.
00:35:54Just give me the gold
00:35:56so I can save father.
00:35:58Clara.
00:36:02Don't.
00:36:03And have your husband
00:36:04pull some strings
00:36:05to get me into
00:36:06the Knight's Academy.
00:36:07Then we won't even
00:36:09need the money!
00:36:10Come on!
00:36:11This is nothing for you!
00:36:19For three gold coins
00:36:21they sold me
00:36:21to a cursed duke,
00:36:22knowing fun well
00:36:23I might die.
00:36:24They cut ties
00:36:25without a second thought,
00:36:27thank the gods
00:36:27Cassian's family is kind.
00:36:29Back then,
00:36:29not a single word of concern.
00:36:31Now they march in
00:36:32demanding money
00:36:32and claiming kinship.
00:36:39Don't push your luck,
00:36:40Elena!
00:36:41When have I ever
00:36:42crawled to you like this?
00:36:45If father hadn't sold you
00:36:47to House Sterling,
00:36:48would you even be
00:36:48breathing right now?
00:36:49If you don't give me
00:36:50the gold today,
00:36:52I'll tell the whole territory
00:36:54what a cold-blooded
00:36:56monster you are!
00:36:58Turning your back
00:36:59on your own
00:37:00flesh and blood!
00:37:08Stop it!
00:37:10Alara is the only one
00:37:11who can save father now.
00:37:16Alara,
00:37:16I'm begging you.
00:37:18Please,
00:37:19help father and Roland.
00:37:21Without the money,
00:37:23father is a dead man.
00:37:24I know this family
00:37:25was cruel to you.
00:37:27I saw everything.
00:37:29But we are still sisters.
00:37:30You and Roland
00:37:31share the same mother.
00:37:33Father despised you,
00:37:34yes,
00:37:34but he is still your father.
00:37:36You grew up
00:37:36under his roof.
00:37:39Remember the honey cakes
00:37:40I slipped you
00:37:41the day you left?
00:37:42Please,
00:37:43for the sake of that,
00:37:44help us.
00:37:46Without father,
00:37:46what will become
00:37:47of this family?
00:37:49Those honey cakes,
00:37:51the only warmth
00:37:52I ever received
00:37:53from this house.
00:37:54But that warmth
00:37:55shouldn't be turned
00:37:56into a leash
00:37:57around my neck.
00:38:00Aren't you afraid
00:38:01your heartless reputation
00:38:02will ruin the sterling name?
00:38:04Imagine the scandal.
00:38:05The heir married
00:38:06to a cold-blooded monster.
00:38:15What is going on here?
00:38:16Do you have any idea
00:38:17where you are?
00:38:21Your grace!
00:38:22You're here!
00:38:27And Lara,
00:38:28did they hurt you?
00:38:56five gold coins?
00:38:58Are you tossing scraps
00:38:59to a beggar?
00:39:00Fifty gold coins
00:39:02is nothing to you now!
00:39:03I'm telling you,
00:39:05if you don't hand over
00:39:06fifty today
00:39:06to save father,
00:39:07you'll what?
00:39:09Do you dare run wild
00:39:11in my castle,
00:39:12or do you plan
00:39:12to bully my wife?
00:39:22Listen well.
00:39:24Alara's word
00:39:25is my word.
00:39:26Harass her again,
00:39:28and you will learn
00:39:28what it means
00:39:29to cross a duke.
00:39:30Guards,
00:39:32remove him.
00:39:33Alara!
00:39:34The money!
00:39:36I want to be a knight!
00:39:43It's over, Alara.
00:39:44You have me now.
00:39:45No one will ever
00:39:46threaten you again.
00:39:48Thank you, Cassian.
00:39:52You gave me the courage
00:39:53to cut off the past
00:39:54for good.
00:40:04Cassian,
00:40:05it seems the curse
00:40:06has truly loosened
00:40:07its grip.
00:40:08You've made it back
00:40:09to the training grounds.
00:40:11Yes, father.
00:40:14Marrying Alara
00:40:15is the greatest blessing
00:40:16of your life.
00:40:19I know, father.
00:40:23Shields up!
00:40:24Hold the line!
00:40:25A knight of sterling
00:40:26would rather die in battle
00:40:28than retreat!
00:40:36My love,
00:40:37you smell wonderful.
00:40:47Are you tired?
00:40:49I made you soup.
00:40:50I don't want soup.
00:40:51I want you.
00:41:13You can write tomorrow.
00:41:23You have no idea
00:41:24what you do to me.
00:41:34Alara,
00:41:35the Easter festival
00:41:36is in two days.
00:41:38Everyone will be out.
00:41:40The markets,
00:41:40the painted eggs,
00:41:41the flower fair.
00:41:42It'll be lively.
00:41:43Let's go together.
00:41:46I've never once
00:41:47celebrated Easter.
00:41:49In that house,
00:41:50happy occasions
00:41:51were never meant for me.
00:41:56Then it's settled.
00:41:58For Easter,
00:41:59I'll take you to see
00:41:59the flower garlands
00:42:00and catch rabbits.
00:42:07Fresh painted eggs,
00:42:09sweet rabbit candies.
00:42:10Come, come, come.
00:42:13My lord,
00:42:14my lady,
00:42:15lucky Easter eggs.
00:42:18This color,
00:42:20it's like the night
00:42:21I brought you home.
00:42:26He still remembers that night.
00:42:33Every Easter,
00:42:34when I was young,
00:42:35my mother would buy me these.
00:42:37After the curse,
00:42:38I rarely left the castle.
00:42:43Do you like it?
00:42:46So this is what
00:42:47Easter tastes like.
00:42:49This is what he meant.
00:42:50The life of an ordinary girl.
00:42:54Being led by the hand
00:42:55through a festival,
00:42:57candy in hand,
00:42:58without a single worry.
00:43:00Kaskian?
00:43:02Is that really you?
00:43:09It is you.
00:43:11I heard you were getting better,
00:43:13but I couldn't believe it.
00:43:15The rumors are actually true.
00:43:23This is my wife,
00:43:25Alara.
00:43:29Ah,
00:43:30so this is
00:43:31the young lady of Stirling.
00:43:33I've heard all about her
00:43:34in the royal city.
00:43:36The one from the dirt, right?
00:43:37The one from the countryside.
00:43:40I've heard those words
00:43:41more times than I can count.
00:43:48Lady Cecilia,
00:43:49she is the mistress
00:43:50of House Stirling.
00:43:51She is not yours to judge.
00:44:12So you're Alara.
00:44:15Oh, silly me.
00:44:17I forgot.
00:44:19You're a mute.
00:44:20You can't even speak.
00:44:22And a country mute at that.
00:44:24You reek of cheap dirt.
00:44:26Not a single drop
00:44:28of noble blood in you.
00:44:29So that's the young lady
00:44:30of Stirling.
00:44:31She does look rather
00:44:34ordinary.
00:44:35Just a mute peasant girl.
00:44:37Marrying the duke
00:44:38was the luckiest thing
00:44:38that ever happened to her.
00:44:40That must be Lady Cecilia
00:44:42from the royal city.
00:44:43I heard she and Duke Cassiel
00:44:45grew up together.
00:44:46She's always been obsessed
00:44:47with him.
00:44:48This is going to be good.
00:44:50Have you looked
00:44:50in a mirror lately?
00:44:52You think you're worthy
00:44:53of Cassian.
00:44:55Lowborn.
00:44:56Illiterate.
00:44:57A mute.
00:44:58What are you good for
00:44:59besides chopping wood
00:45:00and boiling water?
00:45:01You're just a tool
00:45:02to break a curse.
00:45:04You're dragging him down.
00:45:10The whole city,
00:45:11the royal city,
00:45:13they're all laughing at him
00:45:14for marrying a peasant mute.
00:45:16If you had any shame at all,
00:45:18you'd pack up and get out.
00:45:20Beg for an anointment yourself.
00:45:33You mute.
00:45:34I'm talking to you.
00:45:36Are you deaf too?
00:45:42My wife is not yours to touch.
00:45:53Cecilia,
00:45:54what did you just say?
00:45:55Repeat it.
00:45:57Cassian,
00:45:58I was only trying
00:45:59to speak with her.
00:46:01She's the one
00:46:02who ignored me.
00:46:03Speak with her.
00:46:04This is how you speak to her?
00:46:07Humiliating her
00:46:08in the street,
00:46:09calling her a country mute
00:46:10and then trying to strike her?
00:46:13Let me make this
00:46:15absolutely clear,
00:46:16Cecilia.
00:46:17Ellara is my wife.
00:46:20The only woman I love.
00:46:23Even if she were blind,
00:46:24even if she was crippled,
00:46:25she would still be
00:46:26my one and only wife.
00:46:28It is not your place
00:46:29to question her.
00:46:33Cassian,
00:46:34you're talking to me like this
00:46:36over a mute peasant girl?
00:46:38What does she have
00:46:39that I don't?
00:46:42She doesn't need
00:46:43to compete with you
00:46:44because in my heart,
00:46:46you don't compare
00:46:47to her at all.
00:46:49Ellara,
00:46:50I'm sorry I came late.
00:46:53Did she frighten you?
00:46:58Lady Cecilia,
00:46:59I will personally visit
00:47:00Duke Stone
00:47:00and explain today's events.
00:47:02I will ask my uncle
00:47:03exactly how he raised
00:47:04his daughter,
00:47:05that a lady of
00:47:06Chancellor Stone
00:47:06would publicly insult
00:47:07the Duchess of Stirling
00:47:08and dare to raise
00:47:09a hand against her.
00:47:13Please,
00:47:14don't!
00:47:15Cassian!
00:47:16No,
00:47:17Lord Cassian!
00:47:18I'll never do it again!
00:47:19I'll apologize
00:47:20to the Duchess right now!
00:47:24Lady Cassian,
00:47:25I...
00:47:25I was wrong.
00:47:28I swear
00:47:29I'll never do it again!
00:47:31Please,
00:47:32forgive me!
00:47:33Let it go.
00:47:35Let's go home.
00:47:36Cecilia,
00:47:37Ellara is letting
00:47:38this go today,
00:47:38but I will remember it.
00:47:39If I ever catch you
00:47:40harassing her
00:47:41or disrespecting her again,
00:47:42I don't care whose
00:47:43daughter you are.
00:47:43I will destroy you.
00:47:52Ellara,
00:47:52forgive me.
00:47:53This is my fault.
00:47:55I never should have
00:47:56let you go out alone.
00:47:59I let you suffer
00:48:00this humiliation.
00:48:02I failed to protect you.
00:48:03It wasn't your fault.
00:48:05I wanted to go out myself,
00:48:07and you did protect me.
00:48:09Ellara,
00:48:10there are things
00:48:10I should have handled better.
00:48:12I want to set them right.
00:48:14In front of everyone.
00:48:24I have asked you all
00:48:25here tonight
00:48:26to bear witness.
00:48:27I, Cassian,
00:48:29will have only one wife
00:48:30in this life.
00:48:31Ellara.
00:48:33You all know
00:48:34she came to House Streeling
00:48:35because of a prophecy
00:48:36to break my curse,
00:48:37but I know it was the gods
00:48:38who brought her to me.
00:48:39Most importantly,
00:48:41I love her
00:48:41and only her.
00:48:43From this day on,
00:48:44through glory or ruin,
00:48:45prosperity or decline,
00:48:47all that is mine,
00:48:48I share with her.
00:48:49From today,
00:48:50if anyone dares
00:48:51disrespect my wife,
00:48:52if anyone whispers
00:48:53behind her back
00:48:54or humiliates her,
00:48:55they make an enemy of me
00:48:56and an enemy
00:48:57of House Sterling.
00:48:58I have said my peace.
00:49:00Govern yourselves
00:49:02accordingly.
00:49:10All my life,
00:49:11everyone saw me
00:49:12as a burden,
00:49:13a useless mute.
00:49:14Only he cherishes me.
00:49:16He said he would
00:49:17share everything with me,
00:49:19glory and curses alike.
00:49:21Thank you, Cassian.
00:49:22I choose you too,
00:49:24always.
00:49:34After that day,
00:49:35no one dared
00:49:36show me disrespect.
00:49:38Our days were peaceful
00:49:40and steady,
00:49:42until...
00:49:48Physician!
00:49:49Now!
00:49:50The curse is fighting back.
00:49:53Stronger than before.
00:49:55It can't be suppressed
00:49:57any longer.
00:49:58It's spreading.
00:50:02Lara.
00:50:04He's in pain,
00:50:06but he can't say it.
00:50:09Don't go.
00:50:11I won't leave.
00:50:13I haven't left
00:50:14since our wedding night.
00:50:29Don't be afraid.
00:50:35So this is the curse.
00:50:37Then I will stay by his side
00:50:39until it stops.
00:50:46Cassian,
00:50:47I refuse to believe
00:50:48you'd leave me.
00:50:49You promised to take me
00:50:51to see the flower parade.
00:50:53May the goddess of life
00:50:54grant you a long life.
00:50:57May the goddess of life
00:50:58bless you with a long life.
00:51:00May the goddess of life
00:51:02bless you with a long life.
00:51:19Do you know what
00:51:20What are you doing?
00:51:20I don't exist.
00:51:22If I can take you
00:51:22I don't know what
00:51:23I need to do
00:51:23or I need to vielleicht
00:51:23to be the red
00:51:23I don't know what
00:51:24I need to believe
00:51:24or do you?
00:51:24Do you know what
00:51:30I need to do?
00:51:40You're still here.
00:51:46You're still here.
00:51:49Cassian.
00:51:56The prophecy has come truth.
00:51:59Thank the gods.
00:52:03And thank you, Alara.
00:52:06You saved him.
00:52:11I heard that voice again.
00:52:13It was you.
00:52:15You saved me, Alarta.
00:52:19Don't leave me.
00:52:22Alara, promise me.
00:52:24Never speak those words for me again, please.
00:52:31Did you think I wouldn't know?
00:52:34On our wedding night, I heard your voice.
00:52:36May the goddess of life be with you.
00:52:39And after that, I began to recover.
00:52:44I found the truth in the library tower.
00:52:47There is a power called the word spell, the magic of life.
00:52:52Once spoken, the words become real.
00:52:57But the cost is your emotions and your very life.
00:53:06Alara, I don't care about a hundred years.
00:53:09I don't want you trading your feelings, your life for mine.
00:53:13All I want is you, safe, by my side forever.
00:53:21I want your heart.
00:53:23I want your love.
00:53:26Because I love you.
00:53:29I promise.
00:53:31We will love each other always.
00:53:34I would do anything for you.
00:53:42I was such a fool.
00:53:45That night we were married, alone in this room I heard a voice.
00:53:48Only now do I realize.
00:53:51It was you blessing me.
00:53:52You gave me respect.
00:53:54Tenderness.
00:53:55A home.
00:53:56You showed me what love is.
00:53:58Trading my life for yours.
00:54:00I did it willingly.
00:54:01Even if it cost me my emotions, I have known love.
00:54:04And that makes my life worthwhile.
00:54:06You fool.
00:54:08My precious fool.
00:54:10Without you, what's the point living?
00:54:13I would rather live one day under this curse
00:54:16than watch you turn to stone, unable to love me.
00:54:19Do you hear me, Alara?
00:54:21We promised each other.
00:54:23Safe and sound, always together.
00:54:24Neither of us is allowed to leave.
00:54:27No more.
00:54:28Do you hear?
00:54:29No more paying the price for me.
00:54:53No more paying the price for me.
00:54:54These are the accounts in the seal of House Sterling.
00:54:59I entrust them to you now.
00:55:03Mother, these are too important.
00:55:06I cannot manage them well.
00:55:15Silly child, don't refuse.
00:55:17You'll do perfectly fine.
00:55:19I am getting old, and this house was always meant for you and Kasish.
00:55:26You are kind, you are honest, and you saved his life.
00:55:31Leaving the estate in your hands, we are at peace.
00:55:35Thank you, Mother, for your trust.
00:55:37I will do my utmost to care for this household.
00:55:45My lady, these ledgers are complicated.
00:55:49It's only natural to be confused as a new housekeeper.
00:55:52Allow me to assist.
00:55:54We wouldn't want any errors to displease Lady Eleanor.
00:56:03These entries don't balance.
00:56:0630% has been padded.
00:56:08Head steward, will you accept your punishment quietly,
00:56:11or shall I hand you over to the Duke's justice?
00:56:19My lady, I was wrong.
00:56:21I will accept my punishment myself.
00:56:23It will never happen again.
00:56:50I will accept my punishment myself.
00:56:59Not a single coin out of place.
00:57:08Thank you, my lady.
00:57:19My lady, good day to you.
00:57:21Do you see her?
00:57:23That is my wife.
00:57:24The most capable, brilliant, and beautiful woman in the world.
00:57:45Congratulations on taking charge of the accounts, my lady.
00:57:48I represent the Merchant Guild, here to discuss winter grain prices.
00:57:53Winter transport is treacherous.
00:57:54Few caravans will risk the journey.
00:57:57This is the best price the gill could manage.
00:58:03At this same time last year, the price was one-third of this.
00:58:10My lady, take your time with the books.
00:58:17My lady, take your time with the books.
00:58:23But the grain cannot wait.
00:58:25Thousands of people in this territory depend on it.
00:58:28If the guild were to hold deliveries.
00:58:31Are you threatening my wife?
00:58:35Similar handwriting proves nothing.
00:58:38My lady is new to guild affairs.
00:58:41Perhaps she doesn't quite understand how business is done.
00:58:44Three bids.
00:58:45Same ink color.
00:59:05The southern route belongs to the guild.
00:59:08A woman has no business meddle in trade.
00:59:10This is against the rules.
00:59:12You're nothing but a mute peasant girl.
00:59:14Who do you think you are?
00:59:21What did you just call her?
00:59:24Your Grace, I was merely...
00:59:25It seems you don't know the vow I made before every noble in this territory.
00:59:31You are speaking to the ruling authority of House Sterling now.
00:59:35Not just a woman.
00:59:37Drag Bartle to the Terial Court.
00:59:41Monopolizing trade routes.
00:59:42Threatening the lady of the house.
00:59:44Two charges.
00:59:45That should keep him locked up for a very long time.
00:59:49Without the guild's grain,
00:59:50how will you feed all those people?
00:59:53Commomba, you'll regret this!
01:00:03The decree to open the southern route.
01:00:06I'll have it posted across the territory today.
01:00:10By decree of House Sterling,
01:00:12the southern trade route is now open to all caravans.
01:00:15For three months, all tolls are waived.
01:00:18Any caravan delivering grain will be paid at market price,
01:00:21plus an extra ten mecent.
01:00:25My lady, our caravan has grain reserves.
01:00:29We can begin deliveries tomorrow.
01:00:30Us too!
01:00:31Prices are negotiable.
01:00:32We guarantee we'll beat Bartel's rates.
01:00:36Now, no one can ever hold a monopoly over us again.
01:00:52So many people waiting.
01:00:57I have asked you all here today to make an announcement.
01:01:00From this day forward,
01:01:02Elora Sterling, my daughter-in-law,
01:01:04takes her rightful place as the lady of House Sterling.
01:01:15She saved her husband.
01:01:17She held this household together.
01:01:20From this day on,
01:01:21everything in Sterling territory,
01:01:23her word is law.
01:01:27Do you remember Easter?
01:01:29Last time we were here,
01:01:31you bought me rabbit-shaped candy.
01:01:33There's no candy stall today.
01:01:35But I know something even better up ahead.
01:01:44Don't be afraid.
01:01:45I'm right here.
01:02:00The kitchen made these.
01:02:02The head chef heard you like them.
01:02:04Tried a few times to get them right.
01:02:08This tastes fresh.
01:02:10Just out of the oven.
01:02:11He must have made these himself.
01:02:18Elora, thank you.
01:02:24Cassian, thank you.
