00:00:01My lady, Sir David is coming to ask the Count for your hand tomorrow.
00:00:06Everyone in the city says he's the most loyal knight in the kingdom,
00:00:09and so dashingly handsome, too.
00:00:13Ruby, your neck.
00:00:15It's... it's nothing, my lady.
00:00:18I just accidentally scratched myself.
00:00:21Did you?
00:00:24That mark, could it be?
00:00:26Ruby's found someone, but she's not allowed to date anyone without the Lord's permission.
00:00:31If it's discovered, she could be bearish.
00:00:33No, if that's really the case, I have to help her.
00:00:42Ruby, I think you should know.
00:00:44A maid is not permitted to date anyone without the Lord's permission.
00:00:48My lady, I really haven't. It's just...
00:00:50Alright, listen. I'm not blaming you. I want to help.
00:00:53If that man is trustworthy, I can speak to Father and have him allow you to see each other.
00:00:58I'm only worried he might be taking advantage of you.
00:01:00No!
00:01:02My lady, you really have the wrong idea.
00:01:05There's truly nothing going on. I swear on the Holy Lord.
00:01:08Alright. I hope I'm overthinking it.
00:01:11My lady, you should rest now. I'll go downstairs and fetch what we need for tomorrow.
00:01:27Enough. Careful. Someone might see us.
00:01:32No one comes to the basement now. Why so nervous?
00:01:36Alright. Tomorrow is crucial. The Earl plates great importance on this proposal.
00:01:41You need to make everyone see that you genuinely want to marry her.
00:01:44Relax. I've got everything planned. And besides, she can't live without me now. Not at all.
00:01:51But when I think about you standing up there with her, getting married in front of everyone, I just...
00:01:57Sweetheart, you know you're the only one in my heart. I swear to you. Once everything's settled...
00:02:10That was definitely a love bite. But even if Ruby has fallen for someone, why would she hide it from
00:02:16me? Unless someone is forcing her?
00:02:19What's this? Who would send something like this? This is the family crest. But what does this rose pattern on
00:02:26the back represent?
00:02:37What are you?
00:02:40I am Elena. The last true sight witch. They burnt my flesh. But they could never destroy my soul.
00:02:48You? You're a daughter of the Lockwood Manor?
00:02:51I am. And I'm warning you. This place is heavily guarded.
00:02:57You...
00:02:59Child. This is fate. From tonight on, you and I share one life.
00:03:05Get out of my body!
00:03:07Poor child. You fear me. Yet the real enemy has been sleeping right next door every single night.
00:03:14What do you mean?
00:03:15I take it you don't know yet. Your maid is already three months pregnant. And the father of that child
00:03:19is your beloved fiancé.
00:03:21That's a lie. David would never betray me. Ruby's been by my side since childhood. Don't you dare try to
00:03:26twist my mind witch!
00:03:27Last night you went to bed early with a headache. Care to guess who was in his room until dawn?
00:03:32Shut up! You're just an evil spirit trying to possess me. I don't believe a single word you say.
00:03:38You don't believe me? Then let me show you what your future looks like.
00:03:54Witchcraft! This is nothing but witchcraft! I don't believe it! This isn't real!
00:03:57Foolish girl. A man's oath is lighter than the wind. And a servant's friendship? That's nothing but poison wrapped in
00:04:04honey.
00:04:05Tomorrow, you'll see the truth with your own eyes.
00:04:08What do you mean? Tomorrow night at the banquet, David will prepare a surprise for you.
00:04:12Three white swans release from the opposite shore. The guests will crowd toward the railing to watch, and the railing
00:04:17will collapse.
00:04:17You and the maid will both fall into the lake. And your beloved David will choose Ruby without a second's
00:04:25hesitation. Not you.
00:04:27That's impossible. Tomorrow, you'll know whether I'm lying or not.
00:04:37No. I don't believe it. This can't be real.
00:04:55That's Arthur, Duke Lecton's only son. He's here to discuss an alliance with your father.
00:05:02My lords, ladies, thank you all for being here tonight. I, David Bolton, with the Count's gracious permission, wish to
00:05:09formally request a marriage pact with Lady Selina this evening.
00:05:16My darling Selina, I've prepared a surprise for you tonight. I hope it will etch this evening into our memories.
00:05:22Here it comes.
00:05:23I've arranged for several white swans to be released from the far shore. Everyone, please, come to the terrace railing
00:05:29and enjoy the view.
00:05:35This railing looks perfectly sturdy. Doesn't look like it's about to break at all. Could it really be just the
00:05:41rampings of a mad witch?
00:05:45My lord, there is one more thing I wish to ask tonight. Go ahead, my boy.
00:05:49I swear on my honor as a knight. From the moment I first met Selina three years ago, she has
00:05:53been the only one in my heart.
00:05:55If I am fortunate enough to marry her, I will devote my life to protecting her with absolute loyalty.
00:05:59I humbly beg your blessing for this marriage, and ask that you grant me a post in your territory, so
00:06:05I may prove, through my actions, my devotion to Selina and to this family.
00:06:09David, these past years, I've watched your bravery and diligence with my own eyes.
00:06:13You and Selina care for each other, and you're willing to serve the Lockwood Manor. Selina, what do you think?
00:06:18Maybe the vision in the mirror really was just a nightmare Elena made up? David, how could he possibly deceive
00:06:23me?
00:06:24Awww!
00:06:27Awww!
00:06:28Awww!
00:06:30Awww!
00:06:31Awww!
00:06:32Awww!
00:06:32So the prophecy about falling into the lake was only a false alarm after all.
00:06:36Looks like, the witch really was a fraud.
00:06:39Awww!
00:06:41Awww!
00:06:42Awww!
00:06:44Awww!
00:06:45Awww!
00:06:45Awww!
00:06:46Awww!
00:06:47Awww!
00:06:49Awww!
00:06:50Awww!
00:06:50Awww!
00:06:51Awww!
00:06:52Help, help, help me!
00:07:01Tomorrow night at the banquet, David will prepare a surprise for you.
00:07:04Three white swans released from the opposite shore.
00:07:06The guests will crowd toward the railing to watch, and the railing will collapse.
00:07:10You and the maid will both fall into the lake, and your beloved David will choose Ruby without
00:07:17a second's hesitation, not you.
00:07:39The prophecy was right.
00:07:42He really did choose Ruby.
00:07:50Don't be scared.
00:07:52I've got you.
00:07:54I've got you.
00:07:57Oh, my God.
00:08:26Thank God you're all right.
00:08:27The water was so murky.
00:08:29I really couldn't see anything.
00:08:30I thought the one I grabbed was you.
00:08:32You thought the one you grabbed was me?
00:08:34Yes, I swear.
00:08:36It was too dark and the water was completely murky underneath.
00:08:38I really couldn't tell who was who when I jumped in.
00:08:43My Lord, I'm sorry.
00:08:44This was my failure.
00:08:46Sir David?
00:08:48About the proposal?
00:08:49I think we should put it on hold for now.
00:08:58Selina, I'm sorry.
00:08:59I truly just mistook her for you.
00:09:01Enough!
00:09:03I'm cold right now.
00:09:04I want to go rest.
00:09:06Thank you, Lord Arthur.
00:09:17Come in.
00:09:23My lady, are you all right?
00:09:26I had the kitchen brew some tea to warm you up.
00:09:30Ruby, how many years have you been with me?
00:09:35Since I was little, nearly 15 years now, 15 years.
00:09:40Then tell me, when you fell into the water, why did you grab my skirt?
00:09:45My lady, I was just so scared.
00:09:47I can't swim.
00:09:48I panicked.
00:09:49My hands were grabbing at anything.
00:09:51I would never try to hurt you, I swear.
00:09:53And when David pulled you out, why were you clinging to his neck so tight?
00:09:58I...
00:10:00I was out of my mind.
00:10:02I really couldn't see who was saving me.
00:10:05Couldn't tell?
00:10:06You couldn't tell?
00:10:07But I was right there watching and I saw everything perfectly clearly.
00:10:10My lady, you've got it wrong.
00:10:12I was just so frightened.
00:10:14And besides, Sir David is deeply devoted to you.
00:10:17After all these years, you should know that I...
00:10:19Enough!
00:10:20You may leave now.
00:10:32How did you not drown?
00:10:33What a shame.
00:10:34No matter.
00:10:35As long as you're alive, I can make you watch me take everything from you.
00:10:47You were right.
00:10:49They are indeed having an affair.
00:10:52In front of everyone, he chose Ruby without hesitation.
00:10:56That says it all.
00:10:58So what now?
00:11:01I know David's true nature, and I've broken off the engagement.
00:11:04Does that mean I can change the future where my parents are killed and our family is destroyed?
00:11:09No.
00:11:11The future has not been changed.
00:11:13What?
00:11:15How is that possible?
00:11:16I've already rejected him, and tomorrow I'll tell my father I won't marry him.
00:11:20Even that can't change the future?
00:11:22David Bolton is not the kind of man who gives up just because an engagement falls through.
00:11:26The real target for him and Ruby was never just you.
00:11:29It was always the Lockwood family behind you.
00:11:32Then what should I do?
00:11:34You must expose David and Ruby's true faces in front of everyone, completely shattering their
00:11:40conspiracy.
00:11:41Only then can the crisis be ended.
00:11:43However, before that, I want to be clear about one thing first.
00:11:49What is it?
00:11:50You claim to be the greatest witch, and that my blood awakened you.
00:11:54But you never said why you possessed me.
00:11:58Also, what is your relationship with the Lockwood family?
00:12:01Are you helping me to save me, or to save yourself?
00:12:04You are very clever.
00:12:06A long time ago, they called me Shadow Speaker, because I could see the future in shadows and
00:12:11use prophecies to change destiny.
00:12:13But the church people toppled the altars, burned the sacred groves.
00:12:17They captured me, branded me a heretic.
00:12:20But they couldn't truly kill me, so they sealed me within this metal, forged by the
00:12:24hands of Selina's own ancestors.
00:12:26What?
00:12:27You were sealed by my ancestors?
00:12:31Don't be alarmed, child.
00:12:33Your ancestors were not my enemies.
00:12:35The church forced them to seal me.
00:12:37But your ancestors left a failsafe.
00:12:39The way to break the seal is connected to Lockwood blood.
00:12:41So the moment your blood touched the metal, the seal was broken.
00:12:44So to you, I'm just a key?
00:12:47Now that the seal is already broken, why are you still here?
00:12:50Because you didn't awaken me by accident.
00:12:52Only the fated daughter of Lockwood can break the seal with her blood.
00:12:55But her destiny is woven with darkness, and my purpose is to make sure she survives that
00:13:00trial.
00:13:00Child, what binds us is fate itself.
00:13:03So that's why you told me about David's plot.
00:13:05That's why you showed me the prophecy.
00:13:07Because if I die, you die too.
00:13:10Exactly, child.
00:13:11That's why I said we share one life.
00:13:14I am the force that helps you re-rate your fate.
00:13:25Selina, thank you for agreeing to see me.
00:13:28My lord, I've come today to beg your forgiveness.
00:13:30Last night was entirely my fault.
00:13:32I failed to insuspect this raying beforehand, which led to the exit accident.
00:13:35When it came to rescuing, I grabbed the wrong person.
00:13:37I didn't reach Selina first.
00:13:38All of it is on me.
00:13:40I don't expect forgiveness.
00:13:42I only ask for a chance to make things right.
00:13:44My feelings for Selina have never changed.
00:13:46It was true three years ago, and it's even more true now.
00:13:50David, I can give you another chance.
00:13:52But whether Selina is willing to give you one, that's her decision.
00:13:56Selina, last night might truly have been a misunderstanding.
00:13:58David came all this way to apologize.
00:14:00That shows sincerity.
00:14:01You two have known each other for years.
00:14:03I'd hate to see a single incident leave you with regrets.
00:14:06Selina, one more chance.
00:14:09I swear on my honor as a knight.
00:14:10I will never disappoint you again.
00:14:17Ruby.
00:14:19What do you think?
00:14:20Should I give Sir David another chance?
00:14:22My lady, I'm just a maid.
00:14:25How could I dare have an opinion on your marriage?
00:14:27You've been with me for 15 years.
00:14:30You're the person I trust most.
00:14:31Go ahead.
00:14:32Speak freely.
00:14:34My lady, I think Sir David truly cares for you deeply.
00:14:38Look, he came all this way to beg forgiveness.
00:14:40That kind of sincerity speaks for itself.
00:14:42Last night was only an accident.
00:14:44The water was so murty.
00:14:45Grabbing the wrong person was understandable.
00:14:47Sir David is handsome, brave, a brilliant swordsman, and devoted only to you.
00:14:53You won't find a better match in the entire kingdom.
00:14:55You know, plenty of noblemen's daughters have their eye on Sir David.
00:14:58You can't let one's little misunderstanding make you give all that up.
00:15:02You put that so well.
00:15:03Since Sir David is so exceptional, do you fancy him too?
00:15:07My lady?
00:15:08You just went on and on about how wonderful he is.
00:15:11I'm curious now.
00:15:12You're by my side day and day, watching him all the time.
00:15:16Has your heart never skipped a beat?
00:15:17My lady!
00:15:19Absolutely not.
00:15:20I swear to God, I have never once had an appropriate thought about Sir David.
00:15:23He's your fiancé.
00:15:25I'm just a maid.
00:15:26I would never dare.
00:15:27You don't have to be so nervous.
00:15:29I'm just trying to understand something.
00:15:31Sir David says he treasures me, swore on his knightly honor to protect me,
00:15:35and yet last night I fell into the lake right before his eyes, and he didn't protect me.
00:15:39How am I supposed to believe an oath like that?
00:15:42My lady!
00:15:43Last night wasn't Sir David's fault.
00:15:45It was mine.
00:15:46It was me.
00:15:46I was so terrified.
00:15:48When I fell, I panicked and grabbed your skirt without thinking.
00:15:51If I hadn't grabbed you, you never would have fallen in at all.
00:15:54It had nothing to do with Sir David.
00:15:56What did you just say?
00:15:58You're the one who pulled Selina into the water?
00:16:04My lady, I didn't.
00:16:06I just...
00:16:07It was pure instinct in the heat of the moment.
00:16:09I was just so scared.
00:16:11Silence!
00:16:12I don't care why you did it.
00:16:14As a maid, you actually dared to do such a thing.
00:16:17Stuart, by Lockwood Manor rules, this is attempted harm against the young lady.
00:16:21Guards!
00:16:22Thirty laps!
00:16:23Then banish her from the territory.
00:16:25My lady!
00:16:26I didn't!
00:16:27I truly didn't mean to!
00:16:29My lady!
00:16:31Please, show mercy.
00:16:33This is all my fault.
00:16:34I'm the one who failed to check the railing.
00:16:36If anyone should be punished, it should be me.
00:16:38How touching.
00:16:40Such devotion.
00:16:41Last night, you bypassed me and saved her.
00:16:44Today, you're on your knees begging for her.
00:16:46You say you're devoted to me, and yet every single time you step up to protect someone, it's her.
00:16:51Sir David, you swore to me on your knightly honor.
00:16:55I'm curious.
00:16:57What did you swear to her on?
00:16:59Selina, don't misunderstand.
00:17:00You told me yourself that Ruby is like a sister to you, so I just...
00:17:04Like a sister?
00:17:05Yes.
00:17:06I used to think so, too.
00:17:08Until I found this in her room.
00:17:11You gave me one just like it for my birthday.
00:17:14Said it was one of a kind.
00:17:15Tell me.
00:17:16The name engraved on this.
00:17:18Ruby.
00:17:19Who else could it possibly be?
00:17:20That necklace doesn't prove anything.
00:17:22I didn't give it to Ruby.
00:17:27Fine.
00:17:27You say the necklace has nothing to you?
00:17:30Then let me ask you this.
00:17:31The three-month-old baby in her belly, does that have anything to do with you?
00:17:36Baby?
00:17:37What baby?
00:17:38Selina, even if you don't want to marry me, you can't lie about me like this.
00:17:42Fine.
00:17:42Father.
00:17:43Mother.
00:17:44Since Sir David says the necklace has nothing to do with him and the child's nothing to do with him,
00:17:48then let's do as Mother said.
00:17:49Ruby as a maid pulled me into the lake.
00:17:52By house rules, 30 laugh ships, banishment from the territory.
00:17:56No!
00:17:57Don't!
00:17:57Let me go!
00:18:06Stop!
00:18:10Don't.
00:18:11Don't hit her.
00:18:12The baby.
00:18:13The baby is mine.
00:18:17David Bolt.
00:18:18Three years ago, you knelt right here and swore you would give everything for the Lockwood family.
00:18:23Three years later, you slept with my daughter's maid behind our backs and pre-pregnance to my daughter.
00:18:30My dear, how would you like them dealt with?
00:18:34The best way to destroy someone is to make them live in a world where everyone despises them.
00:18:39Strip away what they value most, their honor, their dignity.
00:18:41Strip away every last chance they have of ever rising again.
00:18:44Let them live in total, absolute despair.
00:18:47That, and only that, is the ultimate punishment.
00:18:49I suggest, tomorrow, make them marry in front of everyone.
00:18:53Then banish them from Lockwood territory.
00:18:55Let them leave as husband and wife.
00:18:57Let everyone know what they've done.
00:18:58Make sure David Bolton never finds another lord willing to take him in.
00:19:01And let Ruby have the marriage she wanted, except she'll spend every day of it drowning in shame.
00:19:05You wanted so badly to be a knight's wife, didn't you?
00:19:09Congratulations, you got your wish.
00:19:17You were right, Selina.
00:19:19Death would have been too easy for them.
00:19:21Only by stripping away their dignity like this can they truly be punished.
00:19:28Savor this moment, my child.
00:19:32Everyone, David Bolton was once a knight I trusted, but he broke his oath.
00:19:37He committed adultery with the Maid Ruby in secret, and she now carries his child.
00:19:41By Lockwood law, they should be put to death.
00:19:49I once treated you both with sincerity, but you lay together and betrayed me.
00:19:54Everyone says you deserve death, but I think, since you love each other so much,
00:19:58I'll grant you your wish.
00:20:00I give you this fallen wedding.
00:20:02David, you broke your oath.
00:20:04You are no longer worthy to wield a blade.
00:20:07This sword shall be buried here, along with your past glory.
00:20:13Now, I declare, David and Ruby are formally wed.
00:20:17From this moment on, they are forever banished from Lockhart territory.
00:20:20Anyone who shelters them shall be deemed an enemy of the Lockhart family.
00:20:24Get out! Get out!
00:20:37This is all your fault!
00:20:39If it weren't for you, how would I have ended up like this?
00:20:42You promised me I'd be a knight's wife!
00:20:44A knight's wife?
00:20:45It's because of you, stupid fool, that my entire plan was ruined!
00:20:48This is all Selima's doing! She set a trap for us!
00:20:51Nailed us to a pillar of shame, I swear! I'll make her die a horrible death!
00:20:54Make her die? Look at us. The way things are going, we'll be dead long before she is.
00:20:58David, isn't there any other way? We could seek refuge with another lord.
00:21:02It's already spread word across the entire kingdom.
00:21:05No one will take in a knight who slept with a maid and had his sword broken.
00:21:09So there's no path left for us at all?
00:21:16Let's go back to my hometown. It's remote and my father has some standing in the village.
00:21:22Besides, precisely because it's so remote, word might not have reached there yet.
00:21:26Here we are. This is where I was born.
00:21:29We'll hide here for a while, until you've had the baby.
00:21:31Then I'll go find a lord to serve.
00:21:34Well, well. Isn't that David?
00:21:37What happened? Dressed like a beggar now?
00:21:39Pete, spare me the commentary. Just take me to my father.
00:21:42Still putting on airs!
00:21:43You think we don't know? You offended Count Lockwood over some lowly maid.
00:21:47Get out of here! You're not welcome!
00:21:48How do you know about that?
00:21:50The whole kingdom knows, ladies and a sense, word.
00:21:52Anyone who shelters you is defying the Count.
00:21:54Now get out! Don't bring disaster down on us!
00:22:00Elena? Did you see it all?
00:22:03I ordered David's sword broken.
00:22:05His knighthood has been stripped away.
00:22:06And Ruby got her wish.
00:22:08She married him.
00:22:09But now, they're like rats scurrying through the streets.
00:22:12They're finished.
00:22:13They'll never rise again.
00:22:15Surely, surely now, the future has been changed.
00:22:19Elena?
00:22:20Are you listening?
00:22:23Father! Mother! Please, help us!
00:22:26You animal!
00:22:27You still have the nerve to come back here!
00:22:29You fool!
00:22:31You worked so hard to become a knight in the Lockwood household.
00:22:34You could have married the Count's daughter.
00:22:35You could have become a lord.
00:22:37And you threw it all away for a lowborn maid!
00:22:40It's all because Selina was too vicious.
00:22:42She deliberately set a trap to destroy us.
00:22:43Shut your mouth, you dare make excuses!
00:22:45Everyone is laughing at us now!
00:22:47And you, you filthy whore, you actually dreamed of lashing onto a knight?
00:22:52You must have seduced him, you shameless thing!
00:22:54My lord, I'm carrying David's child.
00:22:57Please, for the sake of the baby, just...
00:22:59Get out of my house!
00:23:00The Bolton family will never acknowledge the bastard in your belly!
00:23:03Take this whore and get out of my house right now!
00:23:06Never call yourself my son again!
00:23:07Get out!
00:23:10Elena?
00:23:13What's happening to you?
00:23:14Why won't you answer me?
00:23:20Selina?
00:23:21What's wrong with you?
00:23:23Selina...
00:23:24Look...
00:23:28Quickly...
00:23:37Selina...
00:23:37We didn't rewrite the future.
00:23:40David...
00:23:41He will return...
00:23:42Carrying a dark power with him.
00:23:44That...
00:23:45That's impossible!
00:23:46His knighthood has been stripped!
00:23:47He's nothing now!
00:23:48He's a broken man!
00:23:50He abandoned his faith.
00:23:52He sold his soul to the devil.
00:23:54And...
00:23:55And the devil has sensed my presence.
00:23:57I have no choice.
00:23:58I must sink into a deep sleep to resist it!
00:24:01No!
00:24:05Child, I can't help you anymore.
00:24:08At least, not right now.
00:24:10Then what do I do?
00:24:12Find Arthur!
00:24:13He's the only one who can stance that dark power!
00:24:30David...
00:24:31What is this place?
00:24:32Why did you bring me here?
00:24:34I'm so scared!
00:24:35Let's go back...
00:24:36Go back?
00:24:36Back where?
00:24:38Great lord of darkness!
00:24:39Master of the abyss!
00:24:41Your servant kneels before you in supplication.
00:24:44I offer you my loyalty, my soul, everything I am.
00:24:48I ask only that you grant me power.
00:24:50Power enough to crush everything in my past.
00:24:54A lost soul.
00:24:56I can smell the sweet resentment and despair on you.
00:24:59An exquisite offering, perfect for tearing everything apart.
00:25:10I will serve you.
00:25:12All I ask in return is the power to take my revenge.
00:25:16You want the power of darkness?
00:25:18The power to destroy all?
00:25:20Then you must offer the most precious sacrifice exchange.
00:25:23But I have nothing left!
00:25:24My honor, my status, everything has been stripped away!
00:25:28No.
00:25:29You still have something.
00:25:30You have your unborn child.
00:25:32The pure infant that carries your blood.
00:25:34The blood of the newborn is the finest offering of all.
00:25:44No!
00:25:45You can't do this!
00:25:47This is our child!
00:25:49You swore you would protect me!
00:25:52Ruby, didn't you always want to be a knight's wife?
00:25:55Intimine, our failure was because of this unwanted life.
00:25:58Now, trading it for power, that's the best choice.
00:26:01It's his purpose.
00:26:02No, David!
00:26:03You monster!
00:26:05I won't let you hurt my child!
00:26:07You...
00:26:07No!
00:26:10No!
00:26:19Selina, I'm coming back!
00:26:22I'll make the entire Lockhood family your funeral pyre!
00:26:30Before Elena fell into her deep sleep, she told me to find Arthur.
00:26:37But this, oh son of Duke Langton, is nothing but a lazy, useless playboy.
00:26:42Can you really help me?
00:26:46Sally?
00:26:48Ah!
00:26:49Stop!
00:26:50Stop!
00:26:51Nobody!
00:26:56Arr!
00:26:58No!
00:27:02No!
00:27:04No!
00:27:05No!
00:27:05No!
00:27:11No!
00:27:13Let me have it!
00:27:13Lady Selina, this is the second time I've saved you. Don't tell me you're doing this on purpose to get
00:27:18my attention.
00:27:20Watch out!
00:27:23That's one more you owe me, Lady Selina. I know I'm charming, but you really shouldn't gamble with your safety
00:27:29like this.
00:27:33Mr. Arthur, please behave yourself.
00:27:45Absolutely not! Everyone in the kingdom knows us Arthur is nothing but an idle, good-for-nothing playboy!
00:27:54Selina, don't be fooled by his silver tongue.
00:27:57You just barely escaped that fraud, David. I will not allow you to get tangled up with another worthless man.
00:28:04Father, Mother, trust me. Arthur, perhaps he's not as bad as the rumor says.
00:28:10You're still young. You don't understand how cruel people can be. In any case, I will not agree to you
00:28:16marrying him.
00:28:20This is Count Malcolm's domain. He commands a powerful army, and his ambition knows no bounds.
00:28:27If I can enter his service and show him my power, I can speed up my revenge.
00:28:32You? A stray dog, stripped of his honor by the Lockwood family for sleeping with a maid? What makes you
00:28:38think I would ever take you in?
00:28:40Because... I can help you, my lord. Become the master of this land.
00:28:46Ridiculous! A man without even a sword dares to speak such boasts!
00:28:50Guards! Throw him out!
00:28:56What are you standing there for? Throw him out!
00:29:05You dare! Committing violence in my domain! Guards! I want him!
00:29:14You! You! What are you?
00:29:17I told you. I can bring you great power. I can put you on the throne.
00:29:22And now all you have to do is nod. Grant me the title of Chief Knight.
00:29:25And your ambitions, your plans, will all come true.
00:29:35Lady Selina, tailing a man with a bad reputation isn't exactly wise behavior.
00:29:39Perhaps a bad reputation is just this man's disguise. The truth is, he's agile, cunning, and quite learned.
00:29:47Selina, being too clever can get you into trouble, you know?
00:29:51Didn't anyone ever tell you peeling back a man's mask comes with a price?
00:29:54I'm not afraid of any price. All I know is, I need a powerful ally.
00:30:02An ally? My lady, you think too highly of me. I'm only interested in fine wine and beautiful women.
00:30:08As for anything else, you've got the wrong man.
00:30:11Lady is right. Arthur's been putting on an act all along. But I have to know, what is it he
00:30:15really wants?
00:30:22What exactly does she want from me?
00:30:27At an occasion like this, and he's still behaving so shamelessly. Utterly without manners.
00:30:33And you still claim he's not some kind of playboy Selina.
00:30:35Mother, this banquet was personally called by the king.
00:30:40Who has the nerve to be this late?
00:30:42That seat is reserved for Count Malcolm. This entire banquet, it's being held in his honor.
00:30:49Count Malcolm? You mean, the king's own uncle? The one who commands the four northern counties?
00:30:55That's him. And, after tonight, he'll be Duke Malcolm.
00:31:00Lord Malcolm has arrived.
00:31:12Uncle Malcolm, at last you've arrived. This banquet tonight is held in your honor.
00:31:18All these years guarding the kingdom's northern border, you have worked so hard.
00:31:22Your majesty is too kind. It was merely my duty.
00:31:25My uncle has rendered great service to the kingdom. I hereby conferred upon you the title of Duke, in recognition
00:31:31of your achievements.
00:31:32I am grateful for his majesty's grace. However, the northern frontier has seen frequent conflict recently.
00:31:37Taxes alone cannot sustain the frontline army. Might I ask, could his majesty allocate some additional funds?
00:31:42Well, I shall have the Chancellor of the Escortory discuss the matter.
00:31:47Then I thank his majesty.
00:31:49Ah, I have also brought a capable knight with me tonight.
00:31:53This is my newly appointed chief knight, David Bolton.
00:31:57Don't let his youth fool you. His skills are considerable.
00:32:00David Bolton?
00:32:01He once served in the Lockwood household, but now he is mine.
00:32:05Surely, a Duke still has the authority to appoint a knight. Wouldn't agree, Count Gavin?
00:32:10What's this? Does Count Gavin have some objection?
00:32:14Lord Malcolm, forgive my bluntness, but David Bolton is utterly unworthy of knighthip.
00:32:25Oh, little lady of Lockwood, what exactly do you mean by that?
00:32:29This man broke his oath. He committed adultery with a maid.
00:32:33A man like this, without even the most basic loyalty or honor, what right does he have to be named
00:32:38a knight?
00:32:39Lady Selina, what happened in the past was indeed my fault, but that is the past.
00:32:43Under Lord Malcolm's command, I have already proven my loyalty and honor anew.
00:32:46Little girl, are you questioning my judgment?
00:32:49Or do you think you understand honor better than I do?
00:32:53Lord Malcolm, my daughter is right.
00:32:56A man like David Bolton deserves no title whatsoever.
00:32:59Gavin, are you telling me how to do my job?
00:33:01I've guarded the northern border for this kingdom for years.
00:33:05Do I not even have the right to appoint a single knight?
00:33:08The honor of knighthip is not a prize to be handed to traitors.
00:33:12The way I see it, a man who can win battles, who can defend this kingdom's borders, that is a
00:33:17good knight.
00:33:18As for what he did before, I don't care.
00:33:20Enough! Count Gavin, since my uncle has taken a liking to David, he must indeed possess some merit.
00:33:25Let the past remain the past.
00:33:29Uncle Malcolm, tonight is your celebratory banquet. Let us prioritize peace and harmony.
00:33:34Perhaps we should first sit and enjoy the fine food and wine.
00:33:37Fine. For his majesty's sake, I'll let this go.
00:33:46Elena was right. David has returned. And he's even latched onto a towering tree like Malcolm. I have to act
00:33:52fast.
00:33:53May I have this dance, Lady Selina?
00:34:03I just openly made an enemy of Duke Malcolm, and now you dance with me. Aren't you afraid of offending
00:34:08him?
00:34:09As a playboy, dance beautiful noble lady is perfectly normal, isn't it? Besides, Malcolm is a Duke, and so is
00:34:15my father. You think I'm afraid of offending him?
00:34:18What does he really mean? A few days ago when I approached him, he refused me repeatedly. Today, when he
00:34:24should be keeping his distance, he seeks me out of his own accord.
00:34:29Stop overthinking it. Just consider it love at first sight for me. Soon I will ask my father to officially
00:34:35send an envoy to your home with a marriage contract.
00:34:37A marriage contract? You...
00:34:40When you said you wanted an alliance, wasn't that what you meant? Marrying me? After all, in this world there's
00:34:45no contract more binding than a marriage certificate, is there?
00:34:48Lady Selina, found yourself a new love already. My congratulations.
00:34:54David, I suggest you get lost.
00:34:57Lord Arthur, perhaps you don't know Selina very well yet. Since when does a knight get to lecture me on
00:35:01reading people?
00:35:03Lord Arthur, I am Duke Malcolm's chief knight. You...
00:35:06You think being some chief knight gives you the right to open your mouth in front of me?
00:35:10You dare strike me?
00:35:13Strike you! What I want to know is, who gave you the nerve to wag your finger in my face?
00:35:17Do you believe me when I say one more word out of you, and I'll kill you right here?
00:35:24Arthur, drawing your sword against my knight at the king's own banquet, are you trying to commit treason?
00:35:29Duke Malcolm, that's quite a charge you're laying down. You seem to have forgotten.
00:35:33The Leeton family holds the hereditary title of guardian of the royal sword.
00:35:37My duty is to draw steel in this very hall and cut down any vermin who threaten the dignity of
00:35:42the crown.
00:35:45Or perhaps, does the duke believe his knight matters more than the dignity of the crown?
00:35:52All right, Arthur. Put your sword away.
00:35:57Come now, uncle. Tonight is your welcome banquet. Let's not keep losing our tempers.
00:36:06My lord, that Arthur dared to treat you with such disrespect.
00:36:10Enough! You fool! Who told you to provoke him?
00:36:13My lord, he's nothing but a playboy. Why do you fear him so much?
00:36:16What do you know?
00:36:17No. There is not a single mediac soul in the Leeton line.
00:36:20I spent ten years guarding the northern border to earn this ducal title.
00:36:23But the Leetons have held theirs by, by blood for generations.
00:36:27They are the greatest obstacle to my plans for the throne.
00:36:29Remember this. Until everything is ready, stay far away from that Arthur.
00:36:34Do not provoke him. If he catch wind of our plan, everything is over.
00:36:39Do you understand?
00:36:40Yes, my lord.
00:36:42Why did you do that, putting David in his place back there?
00:36:45And before, you already turned me down.
00:36:47But tonight, suddenly you say you want a marriage contract with me. Why?
00:36:54I already told you. Since your father has offended Malcolm, marrying you is the best move.
00:36:58It'll make the king less wary of the Leeton family.
00:37:00Even so, you had no reason to openly clash with Malcolm over me.
00:37:03You even drew your sword in front of the king.
00:37:05Of course. Drawing my sword back there was purely to protect a beautiful lady from that scoundrel's harassment.
00:37:11Which of his words are true? And which are lies?
00:37:14Never mind. Elena wouldn't have been wrong.
00:37:17As long as I stay close to him, the Lockwood family can be saved.
00:37:25What you did in the banquet, that was well done. But it's far from enough.
00:37:28And I will never allow Selina to be hurt again.
00:37:31If you deceive her, I swear, even if it costs the entire future of the Lockwood family, I will make
00:37:36you pay.
00:37:38Count Gavin, I swear to you, I will prove my devotion to Selina through my actions.
00:37:42You'd better.
00:37:50Young Master, are you really going to marry Lady Selina?
00:37:53Of course. Didn't you hear me swear it to Count Gavin just now?
00:37:57But, all these years you've been playing the part of the playboy precisely to keep the Leeton family out of
00:38:02power struggles.
00:38:02If you marry Lady Selina now, you're openly setting the Leons against Malcolm.
00:38:07I sensed a dark power from David.
00:38:08The fact that Malcolm has taken him in means, sooner or later, Malcolm will align himself with that darkness.
00:38:13For hundreds of years, the Leeton family's mission has been to stop the advance of dark forces.
00:38:19So, I have to step forward.
00:38:21Make Malcolm think twice.
00:38:23Slow down his plans.
00:38:25Buy us more time.
00:38:27Of course.
00:38:28The bigger reason is, only a marriage contract lets me truly protect her.
00:38:37Five years ago, the first time I saw her, her image was burned into my heart forever.
00:38:49Don't worry, Serena.
00:38:51This time, I won't let you sink.
00:38:55My baby.
00:38:56My baby.
00:39:00Enough! Stop crying!
00:39:02Give me back my child!
00:39:04That was my own flesh and blood!
00:39:05You monster, that was your child too!
00:39:08How could you-
00:39:08Listen to me.
00:39:10That child showed up at the wrong time, but he bought us a second chance!
00:39:14You're lying!
00:39:15What second chance?
00:39:17We have nothing left!
00:39:18The baby is gone!
00:39:20Our identities are gone, you lying bastard!
00:39:23Enough!
00:39:24Our chance at revenge is right in front of us.
00:39:26Revenge?
00:39:27What chance?
00:39:28Listen closely.
00:39:30Selena is going to marry Arthur, the only son of Duke Leamington.
00:39:34Arthur!
00:39:35I remember now that playboy!
00:39:38Selena is marrying him!
00:39:40Serves her right!
00:39:41I'm gonna make sure she's utterly ruined at her own engagement bank.
00:39:45She'll feel what it's like to have her dignity ripped away.
00:39:48To be condemned by thousands of accusing eyes.
00:39:52Listen.
00:39:53This is a forbidden drug I went out of my way to acquire.
00:39:56One drop, and even the most virtuous woman becomes a shameless slut in seconds.
00:40:01You know the Lockwood Manon better than anyone.
00:40:03You slip this into her drink, then I'll slip into her room and take her.
00:40:09Take her?
00:40:11David!
00:40:12You still have feelings for her, don't you?
00:40:16Ah!
00:40:20Enough!
00:40:26You still can't let her go, can you?
00:40:30Listen to me.
00:40:31I have no feelings left for her whatsoever.
00:40:34I'm doing this to humiliate her.
00:40:35I'll make it look like she drugged me.
00:40:37That she's the one who can't let go of me.
00:40:39Do you understand?
00:40:41Humiliate her?
00:40:42Yes!
00:40:43Yes!
00:40:44At her own engagement banquet!
00:40:46Turn her into a whore!
00:40:48Make it look like she drugged her own former fiancé!
00:40:50Yes!
00:40:51David!
00:40:52You're right!
00:40:53This is exactly how we humiliate her!
00:40:55Good.
00:40:55Tomorrow, you find a way to sneak in.
00:40:58Slip her the drug.
00:40:59I'll show up at the right moment.
00:41:00And you, you bring people to catch us in the act.
00:41:04Understood?
00:41:05Yes!
00:41:05Destroy her at her most glorious moment!
00:41:09Who would ever believe the Lefton family would marry a shameless slut who drugs her own ex-fiancé?
00:41:17That's right.
00:41:18But we're gonna make her pay pay back every ounce of that pain.
00:41:22Yes!
00:41:23Make her pay it back!
00:41:24A thousand times!
00:41:26Ten thousand times!
00:41:53What's happening to me?
00:41:54Why is it suddenly so hot?
00:41:56And I'm dizzy too. Am I drunk? But I barely had anything to drink tonight.
00:42:15Get away from me!
00:42:16Lady Selina, you don't look very well. Need me to help you out?
00:42:21David drugged me. Did you get away?
00:42:26Selina, tonight I'm going to make sure you feel what it's like to be utterly humiliated.
00:42:31I'm going to turn you into a whore in front of everyone. A slut nailed to a pillar of shame!
00:42:43You again! Always ruining my plans!
00:42:46You vile, contemptible piece of filth! You actually dared to drug her?
00:42:51The drug's already taken effect. You should be worrying about her, not me.
00:42:56Hard. So hard. Help me. Please.
00:43:01David Bolton, I swear, I will kill you with my own hands.
00:43:06You better figure out how to keep your fiancé's virtue intact at her own engagement banquet.
00:43:11I'm going to call everyone here right now so they can all see what kind of slut your bride really
00:43:15is!
00:43:38Arthur, I feel so awful. Please, help me.
00:43:45Look at me. Snap out of it.
00:43:58Arthur...
00:44:06Wait. Leave in blood. It should be able to counter the drug.
00:44:17Arthur...
00:44:19Just now, I...
00:44:21You were quite...
00:44:23Eager just now, my fiancé.
00:44:25But, we'll settle that score another time. Right now, we need to get out there.
00:44:33They're in there.
00:44:39My lady!
00:44:40My lady!
00:44:42My lady!
00:44:43What on earth has happened to make you barge in here in such a state?
00:44:47My lady...
00:44:48Something terrible.
00:44:50I was past you in the back courtyard just now and I saw... I saw... I saw...
00:44:53Spit it out! What exactly did you see?
00:44:55I saw...
00:44:56Lady Selina and Lord Arthur. They were... in bed together.
00:45:01What did you say?
00:45:02It's true, my lady.
00:45:04I saw it with my own eyes.
00:45:06The young lady and the young lord.
00:45:07Their engagement hasn't even been made official yet.
00:45:10It's against moral law, so I...
00:45:12Outrageous!
00:45:14Dear God.
00:45:15Today is merely the day the Leetons deliver the marriage contract.
00:45:20And already they're doing that kind of thing.
00:45:23So this Selina would stoop to anything to marry into a ducal house.
00:45:27Utterly shameless.
00:45:29Arthur is the hereditary guardian of the royal sword.
00:45:32If this is true, he's betrayed the king's trust.
00:45:34The crown might strip the Leetons of the royal sword.
00:45:37Where are they?
00:45:38Take me there, now.
00:45:42In the back courtyard.
00:45:46My lord, my lady.
00:45:48This is the room where I saw the young lady and Lord Arthur.
00:45:51Enough! Silence! Step aside!
00:45:56Don't open it. If Selina really is inside, her life will be ruined forever.
00:46:03What's the matter, Count Gavin? Afraid to open the door?
00:46:08Shut your mouth!
00:46:10I have nothing to be afraid of!
00:46:12My daughter is pure and innocent!
00:46:14She would never do such a thing!
00:46:17In that case, why not open the door and let everyone see for themselves?
00:46:21Count Gavin, facts speak louder than words. Open it.
00:46:24And we'll all know the truth, won't we?
00:46:28He's right, Count Gavin!
00:46:29If Lady Selina is innocent, open the door and prove it!
00:46:32Exactly! True or false, opening the door will settle it!
00:46:36Ha ha ha! Charles!
00:46:38Looks like that worthless son of yours has landed you in big trouble again today.
00:46:41Malcolm, until the facts are clear, spare me your smug insinuations.
00:46:46My son may be wild, but he would never stoop to forcing himself on a woman.
00:46:49Hmph! Is that so?
00:46:51If your son has truly disgraced the title of guardian of the royal sword,
00:46:54I will personally pertit his majesty to strip the royal sword from the letter name.
00:46:58Is that the only trick you have up your sleeve, Malcolm?
00:47:02At least my son has some decency.
00:47:05He'd never sink to such despicable acts.
00:47:09I believe in my son. Someone is behind this.
00:47:12Duke Leighton, whether it's a setup or not, opening the door will answer that question.
00:47:17Surely even you aren't afraid to confirm the truth?
00:47:19Or are you trying to protect your son?
00:47:24Who the hell are you to question me?
00:47:29Charles, don't use your rank to bully people.
00:47:32Since there are doubt, let's open the door.
00:47:34If there's nothing inside, I, the Duke, myself, will personally apologize to the Lockwood family.
00:47:41But if it's exactly as the maid described, then don't blame the law for being merciless.
00:47:48Open the door.
00:47:49Open the door.
00:47:50Open the door.
00:47:59Open the door.
00:48:05Open the door.
00:48:06Open the door.
00:48:06This, this is impossible.
00:48:09You said you saw it with your own eyes.
00:48:11I'm asking you, where are they?
00:48:15Guards, drag her away.
00:48:17She dared to lie about my daughter.
00:48:19Mercy, my lady, please.
00:48:21It was, it was David.
00:48:23He told me to say it.
00:48:25I swear.
00:48:26I didn't know anything.
00:48:27He paid me.
00:48:28He told me what to say.
00:48:30You're lying.
00:48:31When did I ever tell you to say anything?
00:48:34No one?
00:48:35How can there be no one?
00:48:37They must be hiding.
00:48:37The wardrobe.
00:48:38Yes.
00:48:39They must be hiding in the wardrobe.
00:48:46It's the middle of the night.
00:48:48Why is everyone gathered here instead of drinking in the great hall?
00:48:50What exactly is going on?
00:48:53Ruby, what are you looking for in my room?
00:48:55You, you, you two were clearly inside just now.
00:48:58This is impossible.
00:48:59What nonsense are you talking aft?
00:49:01Selina felt the hall was stuffy.
00:49:02So I accompanied her for a walk in the garden.
00:49:04We've never been here.
00:49:07Duke Malcolm.
00:49:08Might I ask, why have you brought so many people into the room?
00:49:11To surround my fiancee's door.
00:49:13Malcolm.
00:49:14You said just now that if there's inside, you'd personally apologize.
00:49:18Now what do you have to say?
00:49:21There's nothing to explain.
00:49:23It was just a misunderstanding.
00:49:25A misunderstanding?
00:49:26Duke Malcolm, that's a pretty weak word for what just happened.
00:49:30Lord Arthur.
00:49:31I was only worried about Lady Serena's safety.
00:49:33She didn't look well at the banquet.
00:49:36David, did you forget the wedding I gave you?
00:49:38You're standing here worrying about me in front of your own wife?
00:49:41Ruby!
00:49:42It's you!
00:49:43Who let you in here?
00:49:44My lady, I only...
00:49:45Ruby in Lockhouse, a servant who slanders her master, gets her tongue cut off and gets thrown to the gallows.
00:49:51Every word you say here tonight is another stain on House Lockhouse.
00:49:55My lady...
00:49:56Shut up! You don't get to call me that.
00:49:58Lady Selina, tonight was my fault. I apologize.
00:50:02David, by the kingdom's dueling laws and the noble code, what you did tonight was a public insult to a
00:50:08Count's daughter.
00:50:08And the future lady of Auslington.
00:50:11You think one apology makes it go away?
00:50:16Lady Selina, Lord Arthur.
00:50:19I offended you both tonight.
00:50:21I offer my sincerest apologies to House Lockwood and Alce Lester.
00:50:25I'll let it slide today, but if it happens again, my sword won't show any mercy.
00:50:34House Leeton hereby swears an eternal alliance with House Lockwood.
00:50:39Our swords will be each other's strongest shields.
00:50:42In three days, we will host a feast at Lockwood Castle to celebrate their formal engagement.
00:50:46I hope you will all honor us with your presence.
00:50:55Now that you're wearing this, there's no escape me, my fiancée.
00:50:58I think you're the one who can't escape.
00:51:00We were humiliated tonight!
00:51:02That old bastard Leeton used his guardian of the royal sword status to crush me right in front of the
00:51:07king.
00:51:08And David, your plan tonight was a disaster.
00:51:11My lord, tonight's plan did fail.
00:51:14But I promise you, this is only the beginning.
00:51:17House Leeton has a strong army.
00:51:19The king may defend them in public, but no one fears them more than he does.
00:51:24You think I don't know that?
00:51:26That coward probably lies awake every night worrying that Leeton's army will storm the palace.
00:51:31Then what if we make the king believe that this marriage isn't just about military power?
00:51:35What if he thinks it's about...
00:51:38...heresy?
00:51:40Heresy?
00:51:47My lord, I served Selina for fifteen years.
00:51:50I know her better than anyone.
00:51:51She used to be gentle and timid.
00:51:53But ever since that night she fell into the lake, she's been like a completely different person.
00:51:57She's hiding something for sure.
00:51:59And I sensed magic around her.
00:52:01Not just any mag.
00:52:03Dark magic.
00:52:05A person's whole nature changes overnight and she carries the scent of black magic.
00:52:08If that's not a witch, what is she?
00:52:11That alone isn't enough to prove she's a witch.
00:52:20Three days from now, at their engagement banquet, with every lord and church priest watching,
00:52:26I'll use a little trick and make her expose herself as a raving witch in front of everyone.
00:52:32Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:52:35Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:52:37Conspiring with a witch is treason.
00:52:39If House Leeton marries one, they'll lose their title and their right to guard the royal sword.
00:52:44Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:52:45And I'll personally deliver her to the stake.
00:52:54thank you still thinking about today david and ruby won't let this go they're definitely
00:53:00planning something bigger let them come but you selena what what are you doing i just want to know
00:53:06what you were thinking when i put that ring on your finger obviously how to make the best use

00:53:43i've been hearing some rumors lately they say the daughter of house lockwood is a little peculiar
00:53:49peculiar in what way the rumors say lady selena may have ties to witchcraft witchcraft are you sure
00:53:57your majesty i thought it was just gossip at first but when i saw lady selena at the council state
00:54:03yesterday i truly sensed dark magic coming from her arthur is the guardian of the royal sword
00:54:08if he dark magic david is this true i swear it with my life so david has fought heretics on
00:54:15the
00:54:15battlefield his instincts are never wrong house leaton must never be tied to a witch
00:54:19but this needs to be investigated properly we can't act on rumors alone then why not have the church
00:54:25attend the engagement ceremony under the guise of giving a blessing let them determine whether selena
00:54:30is involved with witchcraft if she's innocent everyone celebrates if she's a heretic they can
00:54:35please her right there fine we'll do that

00:56:31may the holy lord bless this couple and may our alliance stand firm as stone
00:56:48count gavin duke letton i come by the king's command to offer the couple a blessing today
00:56:54as a sign of royal favor we are deeply grateful for his majesty's grace please come in bishop
00:57:02i see vaguely flames a wedding feast and a cross be careful
00:57:11this must be lady selena his majesty specifically instructed me to bless you with holy water
00:57:17to ensure peace in your marriage and prosperity for your family
00:57:25this holy water has been passed down through the church for generations and personally blessed by
00:57:30the pope simply extend your hand let a few drops fall on your palm and you shall receive divine grace
00:57:39bishop this is only an engagement banquet perhaps the blessing would be better suited for the wedding
00:57:44this is the king's wish besides divine grace is not to be refused is it child
00:57:57what's this does his majesty's blessing make lady selena uncomfortable lady selena please extend your hand
00:58:03there's no way this holy sar is clean but the king personally ordered this blessing i can't refuse
00:58:14good heavens the holy water burned her skin that only happens to heretics could lady selena really be
00:58:20possessed by a witch that is the mark of the devil house lockwood is harboring a heretic defiling the holy
00:58:28church this is unforgivable
00:58:36she's a witch arrest her burn her
00:58:41i dare anyone to touch her lord arthur everyone here saw her exposed by the holy water
00:58:49are you willing to make enemies of the entire church and the kingdom for a heretic
00:58:52duke letton your son is shielding a witch does that mean house letton has also allied itself with
00:58:58heresy and betrayed the king bishop declaring my daughter a heretic based on holy water alone is
00:59:04far too reckless my daughter could never be involved with heresy there has to be a mistake
00:59:08a mistake the bishop already said this holy water has been passed down through generations how could
00:59:12it possibly be wrong exactly you people are shielding a heretic and now you dare question the church and
00:59:17the bishop house lockout has some nerve someone tampered with that holy water david created that black
00:59:24smoke don't panic throw the water back at them i'll help you from the shadows
00:59:31bishop you keep calling this the holy lord's blessed water but what if the water itself is
00:59:36poison blasphemy how dare you deface this church's holy water if this is truly holy water then why has
00:59:42the mark already disappeared because the demon inside you is too powerful the holy water could only reveal
00:59:47it not suppress it is that so then lady ruby do you dare test this holy water yourself
00:59:55why should i i'm innocent why should i let you test it on me innocent was i not innocent before
01:00:02i tested
01:00:02the holy water why are you so unwilling did you already know this was not holy water
01:00:12you heretic stop twisting everything enough you question the church's holy water and now you even
01:00:19question the bishop what exactly are you trying to do if the holy water is clean one test will prove
01:00:26let go of me i won't do it arthur don't you dare lady ruby the holy lord will prove your
01:00:34innocence
01:00:45dear god her reaction is even stronger look at those marks she is the heretic she is the witch
01:00:58bishop it seems your holy water works very well
01:01:01i only wonder how you will explain the devil's mark on lady ruby
01:01:09my lords this woman must have used evil witchcraft to turn the holy water into poison and frame my
01:01:15wife yes she used witchcraft to hurt me she is the real witch bishop sees her witchcraft david do you
01:01:23really believe a powerless noble woman could cast magic before the bishop's eyes without being gnosis
01:01:30you're insulting his grace this duke malcolm the dog you keep has attacked my fiance again and again
01:01:38do you really think house lepton's sword has rusted arthur you dare draw a sword on me
01:01:44insolence letton will you not control your son malcolm arthur is the guardian of the royal sword
01:01:51his blade may be drawn even before the king you repeatedly allow your men to slander his fiance why
01:01:57should he not draw it on you
01:02:04bishop since we're at an impasse shouldn't we first test whether something is wrong with the holy water
01:02:11how do you propose we test it my family raises many white doves in the courtyard symbols of the holy
01:02:18spirit if this is holy water a dove can drink it without harm if it contains poison or dark magic
01:02:25then the dove's life will give us the answer don't you agree david a white dove cannot be used to
01:02:32test holy water that would be blasphemy against the holy spirit afraid to test it then what is in
01:02:37that bottle was never holy water malcolm clement today is my son's engagement banquet yet you brought
01:02:46poisoned water here to ruin it do you truly think house letton is so easily humiliated house lockout may
01:02:51not hold the duke's power but we will never allow anyone to use such vile my daughter to slander my
01:02:55daughter his majesty the king enough
01:03:04enough today is a joyous occasion why have you turned it into a battlefield
01:03:09clement i sent you to give a blessing what are you doing david's wife is injured take her away for
01:03:15treatment at once your majesty selena enough david take your wife and leave this matter ends here
01:03:23no one will speak of heresy again today selena what happened with the holy water should never have
01:03:28happened you were frightened but the bishop came on my orders to bless you and his intentions were good
01:03:33since this was all a misunderstanding do not let it ruin the celebration malcolm bishop clement you were
01:03:39also following proper procedure i understand this matter ends here go and rest
01:03:53arthur what else do you want
01:03:57your majesty is merciful but someone used poisoned water to injure my fiance before hundreds of guests
01:04:03at our engagement banquet then accused her of being a witch a single order to end the matter cannot erase
01:04:07what happened your majesty i boldly ask for justice what do you mean falsely accusing a noble woman of
01:04:14heresy is a serious crime i will not accept mr standing as the final word then what do you want
01:04:19david bolton house lockfield stripped you of your knight's medal now under duke malcolm's protection

01:04:30anyone who slanders a high noble must perform an act of submission david remove the spurs of
01:04:37malcolm's chief knight then kiss lady selena's shoe and beg her forgiveness what

01:20:37david
01:20:38stop
01:20:42selena
01:20:43selena
01:20:48My lord, Lady Selina, take everyone outside and stand guard.
01:20:56What kind of monster are you? Were you the one controlling her?
01:21:01Boy of House Leighton, put that sword away. It can't hurt me.
01:21:04Answer me. What did you do to her?
01:21:06My name is Elena. I am the last true sight witch.
01:21:09I didn't hurt her. I saved both of you.
01:21:11If I hadn't used her body to release my magic, you would be dead.
01:21:15A witch? The church says your kind served the devil.
01:21:18The church? A pack of hypocritical liars.
01:21:21Centuries ago it was the witches and the ancestors of House Leshen who truly fought the devil.
01:21:25Because I foreseen the church's corruption, they forced the ancestors of House Lockwood to seal me inside this metal.
01:21:31Sealed?
01:21:32Her blood awaked me.
01:21:35I told her the truth about David's betrayal and foretold that he would sell his soul to the devil.
01:21:43So you were the one who told her everything?
01:21:45Yes. But David has completely surrendered to darkness. You can't kill him now.
01:21:50I'll still kill him.
01:21:51The blood of House Leighton carries a sleeping power that can destroy demons.
01:21:55That's the true royal sword. But to awaken it, you need a key.
01:21:59A key?
01:22:00Which blood is bound to your fate? Only your union can break the darkness.
01:22:11Arthur.
01:22:13I'm here. I'm right here.
01:22:19Don't rush.
01:22:29I have very little power left. This is all I can do to heal her.
01:22:34Boy of House Leighton, you must face the rest of this path yourselves.
01:22:38David has returned to Duke Malgam's residence. He built a dark altar there.
01:22:42He is preparing the final sacrifice.
01:22:45The final sacrifice? What will he sacrifice?
01:22:47The resentful spirit of Ruby's unborn child.
01:22:50David sealed that hatred inside Ruby.
01:22:52If he sacrifices her, he will gain an immortal body.
01:22:54No wonder there had been no sign of life in Ruby's belly.
01:22:57He sacrificed his own child. That's monstrous.
01:23:01And we can't give him any chance.
01:23:03Raymond!
01:23:04My lord, House Leighton's army has entered the city.
01:23:07The rebel main force has been defeated.
01:23:09Malcolm and the survivors have retreated to his residence.
01:23:11David is there too.
01:23:12Gather the soldiers at once.
01:23:14We're going to level Duke Malgam's residence.
01:23:17Yes, my lord.
01:23:22I'm sorry.
01:23:23I failed to protect you.
01:23:25Fool.
01:23:26Without you, I would already be dead.
01:23:28Arthur, our fates are bound together.
01:23:30I will live and die beside you.
01:23:35David, it hurts.
01:23:37Kill me.
01:23:38Please kill me.
01:23:39Kill you?
01:23:40That would waste the perfect hatred inside you.
01:23:43Ruby, you should feel honored.
01:23:44Your death will give me supreme power.
01:23:47Don't worry.
01:23:48I'll avenge you.
01:23:51David!
01:23:52David, you useless...
01:23:56My lord Duke.
01:23:57What is it?
01:23:58Arthur.
01:23:58Arthur has surrounded the residents.
01:24:01We...
01:24:02We can't hold them.
01:24:04Hold them?
01:24:05My lord, do you really think I need defenses now?
01:24:10Once the ritual is complete tonight, the entire capital will become my altar.
01:24:15You, move every remaining soldier to the gates.
01:24:17When the ritual is complete, everything will end.
01:24:20Yes, yes.
01:24:21I'll go now.
01:24:23I'll go now.
01:24:25I'll go now.
01:24:30Are you ready, my dear wife?
01:24:36Malcolm!
01:24:37Come out and die!
01:24:38Archers!
01:24:39Stop them!
01:24:42Malcolm!
01:24:43David has gone mad!
01:24:45He's performing a human sacrifice inside the residence.
01:24:48You're all about to die for the devil!
01:24:52Malcolm!
01:24:53Your dream ends here!
01:24:58Arthur!
01:25:00Don't!
01:25:01Don't!
01:25:02I was forced into this!
01:25:03It was all that madman David!
01:25:05Forced?
01:25:06When you conspired with the devil for the throne and slandered my fiancée, you didn't look
01:25:09like a man being forced.
01:25:11Don't!
01:25:12Arthur!
01:25:25Raymond!
01:25:26Get back!
01:25:41You're too late!
01:25:44I have an immortal body now.
01:25:46Both of you will die here!
01:25:58David!
01:26:00I'll kill you!
01:26:13Arthur!
01:26:14Your ordinary steel can't harm me!
01:26:31You again, witch!
01:26:33You again, witch!
01:26:34You again, witch!
01:26:54David, you demon!
01:26:56You sacrificed your own child!
01:26:59You don't deserve to live!
01:27:03David, you...
01:27:05Liar!
01:27:11Arthur!
01:27:13Now!
01:27:13The source of David's immortality is inside Ruby!
01:27:17Use your blood to purify the unborn child's vengeful spirit!
01:27:38David, I hate you.
01:27:41Selina, I'm sorry.
01:27:43How do I awaken Arthur's royal sword?
01:27:45Child, feed him your witch blood.
01:27:49Use your love and your oath as the spark.
01:27:59Arthur, I love you.
01:28:01In every life, I will be your wife.
01:28:17What?
01:28:17What kind of power is this?
01:28:20Impossible!
01:28:35No. I am immortal. I am already a duke. One more step and I would be king. No!
01:28:58David Bolton, you betrayed your oath and murdered the innocent. Die.
01:29:11It's over. All of it.
01:29:34Selina, I swear in the name of House Leighton that I will protect you, cherish you and love you for
01:29:39the rest of my life. I will never leave you in life or in death.
