05:01I will take you
05:03Not for my father for her and every one of them out there on the ice you give your word
05:09standing up like an equal
05:11On your knees you will thank the warlord for saving this keep with your worthless hands
05:20She kneels to me not for you and not because you put her there
05:28She is mine now old man remember that the next time you raise your hand to her
05:32They call him a monster
05:34Right now. He is the only wall between me and a war that eats children and tonight. I will not
05:40just touch you
05:42I will ruin you and you will ask me for more
05:50They say the Blackcloth do not bed their brides they break them and his dragons sleep at the foot of
05:55bed and watch
05:55Enough she will be presentable. She will be obedient and she will hold that alliance together
06:03That is the end of it
06:05leave us
06:08I will have a moment with my bride custom keeps the warlord and the bride apart until the altar. I
06:13do not ask twice
06:15Tonight everyone will say I forced a scared girl into this
06:19I want them to look at you and see something different. I want them to see you chose me not
06:24that your father sold you
06:31It is too tight it is meant to be uncomfortable every black claw bride
06:36Wears one so nobody asks who she belongs to only I take it off
06:40Wear it to the altar. Let them all see it before you say my name
07:21You are bleeding
07:23Frostkin blood, not mine.
07:26Their scout will not report what he saw.
07:30What happens tonight is yours to give.
07:32I do not take it.
07:35Do you take each other through war and peace until the end?
07:40Say the words.
07:42Loud enough for the whole North to hear.
07:44By sky and by iron, I bind my life to his.
07:48Whatever comes for him gets through me first.
07:53Our people do not deserve death.
07:55I am doing this for her.
07:57For all the innocents in the North.
07:59I am not doing this for him.
08:02Then seal it!
08:08No one has ever kissed you, I can tell.
08:11Tonight gives me everything, but I am taking this right now in front of all of them!
08:25I always believed our fathers would give you to me.
08:27Then a southern brute rides in and takes you in an afternoon.
08:30Let go of me!
08:35A sky-bound altar makes a wife.
08:38The Black Claw need more than words.
08:41Bring him in!
08:46The Proving.
08:48He puts her in front of the dragon.
08:50Everyone watches to see if it bows or bites.
08:52No one from the North has ever passed it.
08:54It will not bow to a sky girl with no gift in her blood.
08:56He is going to get her killed in front of her own mother.
08:58Do not pull back and do not look away.
09:01It smells fear and it smells lies.
09:03Show it neither.
09:06You will burn my arm off.
09:08Then we will both find out what you are made of.
09:25The beast knows its queen!
09:28Let the North remember it!
09:36I am a person, Raybeck.
09:38Not something you show off to your men.
09:41You humiliated me out there.
09:49Hello, little queen.
09:55Lothra, you should not be in here.
09:57Skybound Blood should stay with Skybound Blood.
09:59Our fathers meant you for me.
10:00And one southern treaty does not unwrite it.
10:02I am only here for what was promised first.
10:05The binding is sealed, Lothra.
10:06Lay one finger on me and you are not insulting a girl
10:08or insulting the whole Black Claw horde.
10:10Think hard about what that buys you.
10:12He is drunk in the feast hall with Black Claw girls in his lap.
10:15By the time he remembers he has a wife,
10:17I will already have made you mine.
10:19The warlord is in his cups and you are all alone, girl.
10:23One sound out of you and I will tell them you invited me in.
10:27Raybeck!
10:31Where is your frightened little northern bride?
10:33She does not even want you.
10:35Come remind yourself
10:38what real women are.
10:41I called for Raybeck.
10:43I do not even know why.
10:44He is not my husband.
10:45He is my warden.
10:46But he is the only one I called.
10:48In here, no one will find us.
10:51No!
10:53Raybeck!
10:54Raybeck!
10:54Help me!
11:02Raybeck!
11:03Raybeck, please.
11:06He is not coming for you.
11:08You should thank me.
11:10When I take you,
11:11I will at least be gentle,
11:13which is more than that animal would ever give you.
11:20You think the warlord cares what becomes of you tonight.
11:24He will never love a skybound girl.
11:26He will feed you to his dragon for this.
11:28My father commands the king's own guard.
11:31No southern dog can touch me in this keep.
11:33And no one is coming down that corridor
11:36for a skybound bride.
11:40You little skybound bitch!
11:59What is mine I keep.
12:01What touches it I burn.
12:05Right.
12:11You put a hand
12:13on what belongs to a warlord.
12:16Did you think the dragons would not smell it on you?
12:27You all came to watch a binding.
12:30Watch this instead.
12:32Look at her.
12:33The North handed me their last real dragoncaller.
12:36From tonight, she is one of mine.
12:38We do not touch our own women like that.
12:40We do not go after another man's wife.
12:43And we do not lie to the man
12:45whose dragons are keeping your North standing.
12:55What are you doing?
12:59He reached for a warlord's wife.
13:02He will carry the answer on his face
13:04where the whole North can read it.
13:20What is mine I keep.
13:23The whole North can watch what touching it costs.
13:29That dragon keeps looking at me like it knows something I do not.
13:32And honestly, at this point, so do I.
13:37So this is where it happens.
13:39Get it over with.
13:40Look at the roost, little queen.
13:42That is where it happens.
13:43Not here.
13:44A Blacklaw wedding is not sealed in a bed.
13:46It is sealed in fire.
13:49At dawn, everyone watches the warlord
13:51walk through his own dragon's breath.
13:53If it is real, the dragon holds.
13:55If it is not, he burns in front of everyone
13:57and she goes free.
13:59You are going to walk in dragon fire
14:00to prove you own me?
14:02I am going to walk into dragon fire
14:04to prove this is real.
14:06What you do with that is up to you.
14:08A whole dying kingdom.
14:10And the only thing in it worth burning for is you.
14:13Do not say that.
14:14You do not get to say that.
14:16You bought me.
14:17You may own this cluff on my wrist.
14:19You will never own the rest of me.
14:21I will not love you.
14:26He's going to ravage me now.
14:29I don't want to lose it like this.
14:34I do not know what came over me.
14:36I will take only what you give me tonight.
14:39Sleep, little queen.
14:40At dawn, you watch what your husband
14:41walks into for you.
14:44He's sparing my virginity
14:46for now.
14:47He's sparing my virginity for now.
15:11He's sparing my virginity for now.
15:28Judge me, old friend.
15:30The claim is true.
15:32Ravak.
15:33Ravak, no.
15:55You walked into it for me.
15:57You would have burned to ash.
15:59A binding is sealed.
16:01The Horde has seen it.
16:02That is all that happened here.
16:04Now you come to me, to my bed.
16:06I will try to be patient.
16:08I will not beg.
16:10But I also will not love.
16:27So he actually did it.
16:29Walked into the fire for you.
16:33I honestly did not think you would.
16:35Not for some scared little northern girl.
16:37I do not know you.
16:39Give your name before you speak to me
16:40like I am livestock.
16:46Drusilla.
16:47My father rides at the warlord's right hand,
16:50the strongest warrior in this horde.
16:51And before your father sold you north,
16:53I was the one in Ravak's bed.
16:56So I know things about him that you do not.
17:00You do not know how to keep a warlord,
17:03little northern bird.
17:04I had him before you wore that cuff,
17:06and I will have him after.
17:07Ask anyone in this keep
17:09whose furs he slept in last winter.
17:37First night here, and my wife will not eat.
17:40Is this a northern thing?
17:42Or are you actually trying to starve yourself?
17:46Starving myself?
17:48Skybound children went hungry all winter so I could eat.
17:51I do not waste food.
17:55I do not even know what half of this is.
17:58You have never put southern meat in your mouth.
18:00My father never let his daughters pass the inner wall.
18:04We ate what the kitchens cooked,
18:06and the kitchens cook north.
18:11Open.
18:13No wife of mine goes hungry at my own fire.
18:21There.
18:23The north did not crumble.
18:25Your color is up, wife.
18:26I am warm from the fire.
18:28The fire is behind you.
18:29I am the one in front.
18:49He walked into dragon fire in front of everyone to keep my people safe.
18:53Whatever else he is, he did that.
18:55I can say thank you for that much,
18:57even if it kills me.
19:03We just got married, and he is already doing this.
19:06I knew it.
19:08I knew exactly what he was.
19:13Cassia.
19:14Stop.
19:15Not one more step.
19:23Sit.
19:24Run from her in tears,
19:26and by morning the whole keep says
19:27the north broke in a week.
19:29No more step.
20:17Every girl in the north dreams of her binding day.
20:19None of them dream of the cage.
20:21My people used to be the best dragon callers alive.
20:24We have not called one in a hundred years.
20:26A sky people with no dragons is just prey.
20:28So my father sells the only thing he has left.
20:31Me.
20:45Skybound.
20:46I came for what is promised.
20:59You belong to me now.
21:08Get up and dress.
21:09The Blackclaw warlord rides for our gate at dusk and you will be waiting at the binding altar to take
21:14him as your husband.
21:15A husband?
21:16You have kept me behind these walls my whole life.
21:18I have never even spoken to a man who was not my guard.
21:20You will speak to this one tonight and bear his children after.
21:24Ravec of the Blackclaw.
21:26His dragons are the only thing between us and the Froskin.
21:29And he wants you for them.
21:30So my blood buys your dragons and you call it a treaty.
21:33I am trading one girl to keep ten thousand people alive.
21:37Say no.
21:38And the Blackclaw rides south.
21:39The Froskin come down off that ridge.
21:41And everyone in this keep is dead by spring.
21:43I am not the answer to your problem.
21:45Find another way.
21:46Then walk out that door and tell ten thousand people yourself.
21:49I will not be sold to a Blackclaw warlord to pay for your war.
21:52Find another way.
21:54Cassia, you will not shame me in front of the whole keep.
22:14So, this is the Dragonless Princess.
22:17They are selling me.
22:18They told me the North had nothing left worth taking.
22:21They were wrong.
22:22Let go of me.
22:24I have not been given to you yet.
22:25You were mine the day your father ran out of options.
22:29Tonight is just the part with witnesses.
22:31Soft hand.
22:33A whole people who forgot how to hold their own beasts.
22:36No wonder the Froskin are sharpening their knives.
22:38We were calling dragons out of the sky while your horde was still eating its dead.
22:42Do not lecture me on what we lost.
22:45They told me you were timid.
22:47Timid does not survive my keep.
22:49Your wrist, little queen.
22:56What is this?
22:57My cuff and yours came out of the same iron.
23:00After tonight, there is no one making it.
23:02The North gave you away, little queen.
23:04I keep what the North gives.
23:08You are shaking.
23:10Good.
23:11A dragon can smell a coward.
23:12And a coward it will not carry.
23:14Be afraid.
23:14But do not be a coward.
23:16My hands shake because your hand is on me.
23:18Do not mistake it for anything you would want to feel.
23:21Give it time.
23:22You will stop hating me.
23:23When you realize I am the only one keeping your people alive.
23:26You can lock iron on me.
23:28But you cannot make me want it.
23:44Every one of them lives or dies on what I say next.
23:48No one walks out of a door with all of that on the other side of it.
23:58I will take you.
24:00Not for my father.
24:01For her.
24:02And every one of them out there on the ice.
24:05You give your word standing up like an equal.
24:07On your knees.
24:09You will thank the warlord for saving this keep with your worthless hand.
24:16She kneels to me.
24:17Not for you.
24:18And not because you put her there.
24:24She is mine now, old man.
24:26Remember that the next time you raise your hand to her.
24:28They call him a monster.
24:30Right now he is the only wall between me and a war that eats children.
24:35And tonight I will not just touch you.
24:38I will ruin you.
24:39And you will ask me for more.
24:46They say the Blackcloth do not bed their brides.
24:49They break them.
24:50And his dragons sleep at the foot of bed and watch.
24:52Enough.
24:53She will be presentable.
24:55She will be obedient.
24:56And she will hold that alliance together.
25:00That is the end of it.
25:02Leave us.
25:04I will have a moment with my bride.
25:06Custom keeps the warlord and the bride apart until the altar.
25:10I do not ask twice.
25:11Tonight everyone will say I forced a scared girl into this.
25:15I want them to look at you and see something different.
25:18I want them to see you chose me.
25:20Not that your father sold you.
25:28It is too tight.
25:29It is meant to be uncomfortable.
25:31Every Blackcloth bride wears one so nobody asks who she belongs to.
25:35Only I take it off.
25:37Wear it to the altar.
25:39Let them all see it before you say my name.
25:45Let them all see you.
26:18You are bleeding.
26:19Frostkin blood, not mine.
26:23Their scout will not report what he saw.
26:27What happens tonight is yours to give.
26:29I do not take it.
26:32Do you take each other through war and peace until the end?
26:37Say the words.
26:39Loud enough for the whole North to hear.
26:41By sky and by iron, I bind my life to his.
26:45Whatever comes for him gets through me first.
26:50Our people do not deserve death.
26:52I am doing this for her.
26:54For all the innocents in the North.
26:55I am not doing this for him.
26:58Then seal it!
27:04No one has ever kissed you.
27:07I can tell.
27:08Tonight gives me everything.
27:09But I am taking this right now.
27:10In front of all of them!
27:12I am taking this right now in front of all of them!
27:13In front of all of them!
27:21I always believed our fathers would give you to me.
27:24Then a southern brute rides in and takes you in an afternoon.
27:26Let go of me!
27:32A sky-bound altar makes a wife.
27:35The Black Claw need more than words.
27:38Bring him in!
27:43The Proving.
27:44He puts her in front of the dragon.
27:46Everyone watches to see if it bows or bites.
27:49No one from the North has ever passed it.
27:50It will not bow to a sky girl with no gift in her blood.
27:53He is going to get her killed in front of her own mother.
27:55Do not pull back and do not look away.
27:58It smells fear and it smells lies.
28:00Show it neither.
28:02You will burn my arm off.
28:05Then we will both find out what you are made of.
28:22Beast knows its queen!
28:24Let the North remember it!
28:33I am a person, Raybeck.
28:35Not something you show off to your men.
28:38You humiliated me out there.
28:46Hello, little queen.
28:52Lothra, you should not be in here.
28:53Skybound Blood should stay with Skybound Blood.
28:56Our fathers meant you for me.
28:57And one southern treaty does not unwrite it.
28:59I am only here for what was promised first.
29:01The binding is sealed, Lothra.
29:02Lay one finger on me and you are not insulting a girl,
29:05insulting the whole Blackclow horde.
29:07Think hard about what that buys you.
29:08He is drunk in the feast hall with Blackclow girls in his lap.
29:12By the time he remembers he has a wife,
29:14I will already have made you mine.
29:16The warlord is in his cups and you are all alone, girl.
29:19One sound out of you and I will tell them you invited me in.
29:24Raybeck!
29:27Where is your frightened little northern bride?
29:30She does not even want you.
29:32Come remind yourself.
29:35What real women are.
29:38I called for Raybeck.
29:39I do not even know why.
29:41He is not my husband.
29:42He is my warden.
29:43But he is the only one I called.
29:45In here, no one will find us.
29:48No!
29:49Raybeck!
29:50Raybeck!
29:51Help me!
29:59Raybeck!
30:00Please!
30:02He is not coming for you.
30:05You should thank me.
30:06When I take you,
30:08I will at least be gentle,
30:10which is more than that animal would ever give you.
30:13But...
30:14Ah!
30:15Ah!
30:17You think the warlord cares what becomes of you tonight.
30:20He will never love a skybound girl.
30:23He will feed you to his dragon for this.
30:25My father commands the king's own guard.
30:27No southern dog can touch me in this keep.
30:30And no one is coming down that corridor for a skybound ride.
30:35Ah!
30:36Ah!
30:37Ah!
30:37Ah!

31:02Right.
31:08You put a hand on what belongs to a warlord.
31:12What?
31:13Did you think the dragons would not smell it on you?
31:17Ah!
31:19Ah!
31:21Ah!
31:21Ah!

33:41he's sparing my virginity for now
33:44i do not know what i did
34:14i want to move on from my eye
34:25Judge me, old friend.
34:27The claim is true.
34:29Raven.
34:30Raven, no.
34:52You walked into it.
34:53For me, you would have burned to ash.
34:56A binding is sealed.
34:57The Horde has seen it.
34:59That is all that happened here.
35:01Now you come to me, to my bed.
35:03I will try to be patient.
35:05I will not beg, but I also will not love.
35:24So he actually did it.
35:26Walked into the fire for you.
35:29I honestly did not think you would.
35:32Not for some scared little northern girl.
35:34I do not know you.
35:35Give your name before you speak to me like I am livestock.
35:42Drusilla.
35:44My father rides at the warlord's right hand, the strongest warrior in this horde.
35:48And before your father sold you north, I was the one in Ravik's bed.
35:52So I know things about him that you do not.
35:57You do not know how to keep a warlord, little northern bird.
36:01I had him before you wore that cuff, and I will have him after.
36:05Ask anyone in this keep whose furs he slept in last winter.
36:34First night here, and my wife will not eat.
36:37Is this a northern thing, or are you actually trying to starve yourself?
36:42Starving myself?
36:44Skybound children went hungry all winter so I could eat.
36:48I do not waste food.
36:52I do not even know what half of this is.
36:55You have never put southern meat in your mouth.
36:57My father never let his daughters pass the inner wall.
37:01We ate what the kitchens cooked, and the kitchens cook north.
37:08Open.
37:10No wife of mine goes hungry at my own fire.
37:17There.
37:19The north did not crumble.
37:22Your color is up, wife.
37:23I am warm from the fire.
37:24The fire is behind you.
37:26I am the one in front.
37:45He walked into dragon fire in front of everyone to keep my people safe.
37:49Whatever else he is, he did that.
37:52I can say thank you for that much, even if it kills me.
37:59We just got married, and he is already doing this.
38:03I knew it.
38:04I knew exactly what he was.
38:09Cassia.
38:11Stop.
38:12Not one more step.
38:19Sit.
38:21Run from her in tears, and by morning the whole keep says the north broke in a week.
38:43No.
38:56Not one more step.
38:57Stop.
38:59Not one more step.
39:01Stop.
39:02Stop.
39:04Stop.
39:05Stop.
39:13Every girl in the North dreams of her Binding Day.
39:16None of them dream of the cage.
39:18My people used to be the best dragon callers alive.
39:20We have not called one in a hundred years.
39:23A sky people with no dragons is just prey.
39:25So my father sells the only thing he has left.
39:28Me.
39:42Skybound.
39:43I came for what is promised.
39:55You belong to me now.
40:04Get up and dress.
40:06The Black Claw warlord rides for our gate at dusk.
40:09And you will be waiting at the Binding Altar to take him as your husband.
40:12A husband?
40:13You have kept me behind these walls my whole life.
40:15I have never even spoken to a man who is not my guard.
40:17He will speak to this one tonight and bear his children after.
40:21Ravek of the Black Claw.
40:22His dragons are the only thing between us and the Frosk.
40:25And he wants you for them.
40:26So my blood buys your dragons and you call it a treaty.
40:30I am trading one girl to keep ten thousand people alive.
40:33Say no.
40:34And the Black Claw rinds south.
40:36The Froskin come down off that ridge.
40:37And everyone in this keep is dead by spring.
40:39I am not the answer to your problems.
40:42Find another way.
40:43Then walk out that door and tell ten thousand people yourself.
40:46I will not be sold to a Black Claw warlord to pay for your war.
40:49Find another way.
40:50Cassia, you will not shame me in front of the whole keep.
41:11So, this is the Dragonless Princess.
41:13They are selling me.
41:15They told me the North had nothing left worth taking.
41:18They were wrong.
41:19Let go of me.
41:20I have not been given to you yet.
41:22You were mine.
41:23The day your father ran out of options.
41:25Tonight is just the part with witnesses.
41:27Soft hand.
41:30A whole people who forgot how to hold their own beasts.
41:33No wonder the Froskin are sharpening their knives.
41:35We were calling dragons out of the sky while your horde was still eating its dead.
41:39Do not lecture me on what we lost.
41:41They told me you were timid.
41:43Timid does not survive my keep.
41:45Your wrist, little queen.
41:53What is this?
41:54My cuff and yours came out of the same iron.
41:57After tonight, there is no one making it.
41:59The North gave you away, little queen.
42:01I keep what the North gives.
42:04You are shaking.
42:07Good.
42:07A dragon can smell a coward.
42:09And a coward it will not carry.
42:10Be afraid, but do not be a coward.
42:13My hands shake because your hand is on me.
42:15Do not mistake it for anything you would want to feel.
42:18Give it time.
42:19You will stop hating me when you realize I am the only one keeping your people alive.
42:23You can lock iron on me, but you cannot make me want it.
42:41Every one of them lives or dies on what I say next.
42:45No one walks out of a door with all of that on the other side of it.
42:55I will take you.
42:57Not for my father.
42:58For her.
42:59And every one of them out there on the ice.
43:01You give your word standing up like an equal.
43:04On your knees.
43:05You will thank the warlord for saving this keep with your worthless hand.
43:13And she kneels to me.
43:14Not for you.
43:15And not because you put her there.
43:21She is mine now, old man.
43:23Remember that the next time you raise your hand to her.
43:25They call him a monster.
43:27Right now, he is the only wall between me and a war that eats children.
43:32And tonight I will not just touch you.
43:35I will ruin you.
43:36And you will ask me for more.
43:43They say the Blackclough do not bed their brides.
43:46They break them.
43:47And his dragons sleep at the foot of bed and watch.
43:49Enough.
43:50She will be presentable.
43:51She will be obedient.
43:53And she will hold that alliance together.
43:56That is the end of it.
43:59Leave us.
44:01I will have a moment with my bride.
44:03Custom keeps the warlord and the bride apart until the altar.
44:06I do not ask twice.
44:08Tonight everyone will say I forced a scared girl into this.
44:12I want them to look at you and see something different.
44:15I want them to see you chose me.
44:17Not that your father sold you.
44:24It is too tight.
44:26It is meant to be uncomfortable.
44:27Every Blackclough bride.
44:29Wears one so nobody asks who she belongs to.
44:32Only I take it off.
44:34Wear it to the altar.
44:35Let them all see it before you say my name.
44:38No.
44:39No.
44:50It is so bad.
44:53It does.
44:57It is so bad.
45:14You are bleeding
45:16Froskin blood, not mine
45:20Their scout will not report what he saw
45:24What happens tonight is yours to give
45:26I do not take it
45:29Do you take each other through war and peace until the end?
45:34Say the words
45:35Loud enough for the whole North to hear
45:37By sky and by iron, I bind my life to his
45:41Whatever comes for him gets through me first
45:46Our people do not deserve death
45:49I am doing this for her
45:50For all the innocents in the North
45:52I am not doing this for him
45:55Then seal it!
46:01No one has ever kissed you
46:03I can tell
46:04Tonight gives me everything
46:05But I am taking this right now
46:07In front of all of them
46:18I always believed our fathers would give you to me
46:20Then a southern brute rides in and takes you in an afternoon
46:23Let go of me
46:28A skybound altar makes a wife
46:31The Black Claw need more than words
46:34Bring him in!
46:40The proving
46:41He puts her in front of the dragon
46:43Everyone watches to see if it bows or bites
46:45No one from the North has ever passed it
46:47It will not bow to a sky girl with no gift in her blood
46:49He is going to get her killed in front of her own mother
46:51Do not pull back and do not look away
46:54It smells fear and it smells lies
46:56Show it neither
46:59You will burn my arm off
47:01Then we will both find out what you are made of
47:18Beast knows its queen
47:21Let the North remember it
47:30I am a person, Raybeck
47:32Not something you show off to your men
47:35You humiliated me out there
47:43Hello, little queen
47:49Lothra, you should not be in here
47:50Skybound Blood should stay with Skybound Blood
47:52Our fathers meant you for me
47:54And one southern treaty does not unwrite it
47:55I am only here for what was promised first
47:58The binding is sealed, Lothra
47:59Lay one finger on me
48:00And you are not insulting a girl
48:02Insulting the whole Black Claw horde
48:03Think hard about what that buys you
48:05He is drunk in the feast hall
48:07With Black Claw girls in his lap
48:08By the time he remembers he has a wife
48:10I will already have made you mine
48:12The warlord is in his cups
48:14And you are all alone, girl
48:16One sound out of you
48:17And I will tell them you invited me in
48:21Raybeck!
48:24Where is your frightened little northern bride?
48:26She does not even want you
48:28Come remind yourself
48:32What real women are
48:34I called for Raybeck
48:36I do not even know why
48:37He is not my husband, he is my warden
48:39But he is the only one I called
48:41In here, no one will find us
48:44No! Raybeck!
48:47Raybeck! Help me!
48:56Raybeck!
48:56Raybeck, please
48:59He is not coming for you
49:01You should thank me
49:03When I take you
49:05I will at least be gentle
49:07Which is more than that animal
49:08Would ever give you
49:13You think the warlord cares
49:15What becomes of you tonight
49:17He will never love a skybound girl
49:19He will feed you to his dragon for this
49:21My father commands the king's own guard
49:24No southern dog can touch me in this keep
49:26And no one is coming down that corridor
49:29For a skybound bride
49:34You little skybound bitch
49:52What is mine I keep
49:54What touches it I burn
50:05You put a hand
50:06On what belongs to a warlord
50:10Did you think the dragons
50:11Would not smell it on you?
50:21You all came to watch a binding
50:23Watch this instead
50:25Look at her
50:26The North handed me their last real dragon caller
50:29From tonight she is one of mine
50:31We do not touch our own women like that
50:33We do not go after another man's wife
50:36And we do not lie to the man
50:38Whose dragons are keeping your North standing
50:48What are you doing?
50:53He reached for a warlord's wife
50:55He will carry the answer on his face
50:57Where the whole North can read it
51:13What is mine I keep
51:16The whole North can watch what touching it costs
51:22That dragon keeps looking at me like it knows something I do not
51:25And honestly at this point
51:26So do I
51:31So this is where it happens
51:32Get it over with
51:34Look at the roost little queen
51:35That is where it happens
51:36Not here
51:37A Blacklaw wedding is not sealed in a bed
51:39It is sealed in fire
51:42At dawn everyone watches the warlord walk through his own dragon's breath
51:46If it is real
51:47The dragon holds
51:48If it is not
51:49He burns in front of everyone
51:51And she goes free
51:52You are going to walk in dragon fire
51:54To prove you own me?
51:55I am going to walk into dragon fire
51:57To prove this is real
51:59What you do with that is up to you
52:01A whole dying kingdom
52:04And the only thing in it worth burning for is you
52:06Do not say that
52:07You do not get to say that
52:09You bought me
52:10You may own this cluff on my wrist
52:12You will never own the rest of me
52:15I will not love you
52:20He's going to ravage me now
52:22I don't want to lose it like this
52:27I do not know what came over me
52:30I will take only what you give me tonight
52:32Sleep little queen
52:33At dawn you watch what your husband walks into for you
52:38He's sparing my virginity
52:39For now
53:22Judge me old friend
53:23The claim is true
53:25Rayback
53:27Rayback no
53:48You walked into it
53:50For me
53:51You would have burned to ash
53:52A binding is sealed
53:54The horde has seen it
53:55That is all that happened here
53:57Now you come to me
53:58To my bed
53:59I will try to be patient
54:02I will not beg
54:03But I also will not love
54:20So he actually did it
54:23Walked into the fire for you
54:26I honestly did not think you would
54:28Not for some scared little northern girl
54:30I do not know you
54:32Give your name before you speak to me like I am livestock
54:39Drusilla
54:40My father rides at the warlord's right hand
54:43The strongest warrior in this horde
54:45And before your father sold you north
54:47And before your father sold you north
54:47I was the one in Ravik's bed
54:49So I know things about him that you do not
54:53You do not know how to keep a warlord little northern bird
54:57I had him before you wore that cuff
54:59And I will have him after
55:01Ask anyone in this keep whose furs he slept in last winter
55:30First night here and my wife will not eat
55:34Is this a northern thing
55:35Or are you actually trying to starve yourself
55:39Starving myself?
55:41Skybound children went hungry all winter so I could eat
55:45I do not waste food
55:49I do not even know what half of this is
55:51You have never put southern meat in your mouth
55:53My father never let his daughters pass the inner wall
55:57We ate what the kitchens cooked
55:59And the kitchens cook north
56:05Open
56:07No wife of mine goes hungry at my own fire
56:14There
56:16The north did not crumble
56:18Your color is up wife
56:20I am warm from the fire
56:21The fire is behind you
56:22I am the one in front
56:42He walked into dragon fire in front of everyone to keep my people safe
56:46Whatever else he is
56:47He did that
56:48I can say thank you for that much
56:50Even if it kills me
56:56We just got married and he is already doing this
56:59I knew it
57:01I knew exactly what he was
57:06Cassia
57:08Stop
57:08Not one more step
57:16Sit
57:17Run from her in tears
