01:30I woke drenched in cold sweat and told myself it was only a nightmare.
01:35Then came the royal hunt.
01:37Lady Scarlet, would you consent to marry my son Cedric?
01:42A ragged, filthy man broke past the royal guards.
01:45My lady, you cannot marry the prince!
01:49Only then did I understand. The dream had been a warning. I must rewrite my fate.
01:53You gave yourself to me long ago. You swore you'd love only me, though I am nothing but a stable
01:58hand.
01:58As for the prince, you said he was nothing but an empty-headed fool!
02:04Is that not the Vale family's stableman? Did he just claim Lady Scarlet surrendered her virtue to him?
02:08Good heavens! How could a Duke's daughter throw away her honor for a mere stable hand?
02:13A Duke's daughter?
02:14She is beneath a common harlot.
02:20Scarlet, is it true? Was that truly how you saw me? Did you give yourself to him?
02:27Scarlet, everyone has seen how devoted Prince Cedric has been to you.
02:31How could you do something so shameless?
02:33The accusations came one after another.
02:36Just as in my dream, I became the target of everyone's scorn within moments.
02:41No, I would not walk into the fate.
02:42I had seen in my dream.
02:44My father, my mother, all of House Vale.
02:47Their lives depended on me now.
02:51Your Highness, you are rather quick to judge.
02:53This is the royal hunt.
02:56No outsider should have been able to enter.
02:59Yet instead of asking who this man is or how he came to be here, your first thought is to
03:02question me.
03:06House Vale has served the crown for a century.
03:09We have bled for this kingdom time and again.
03:12If a Duke's daughter can be condemned on a servant's word alone,
03:15who would ever risk their life for the crown again?
03:19The whispers quieted and the crowd turned towards Cedric.
03:22Yes, condemn a Duke's daughter on accusations alone and no noble house would remain silent.
03:28Cedric clearly had not expected me to remain so calm.
03:31After a brief pause, he forced out an apology.
03:34Scarlet, forgive me.
03:35I spoke in the heat of the moment.
03:37Then Cedric turned his cold gaze on the stable hand.
03:40You claim you were intimate with Lady Scarlet.
03:42Where is your proof?
03:43Of course, your Highness.
03:45My Lady admired my humble poems and gave me her heart.
03:48She even wrote me this love poem.
03:50Look at it.
03:50Is this not proof enough?
03:52Adeline clutched the paper.
03:54Good heavens.
03:54This is the Nightingale's lament.
03:57Scarlet wrote these verses at the literary gathering last year.
04:00That handwriting.
04:01I would know it anywhere.
04:03Scarlet, I never thought you would become such a fallen woman.
04:07You have disgraced House Vale.
04:09If you will not think of yourself, think of your cousins.
04:12Who would ever marry them now?
04:14Before I could defend myself, Cedric cut in.
04:17Scarlet!
04:17What is there left to say?
04:20I place my trust in you.
04:22Every rare gift sent to me, I chose the finest for you.
04:26And this, this is how you repay me?
04:29The two of them played their parts perfectly.
04:32Soon, whispers and vicious remarks swept through the crowd.
04:35And the noble women turned against me once more.
04:38In that dream, it had happened exactly this way.
04:40The moment that the so-called love poem appeared, I had no way left to clear my name.
04:44But now...
04:45Our kingdom is vast, and many could forge my eye handwriting.
04:49Would you truly condemn a duke's daughter on the strength of one supposed love poem?
04:54This is no mere accident.
04:55Someone has arranged this, to set House Vale against the crown.
05:00Your Majesty, to prevent this plot from succeeding,
05:03I ask that the stable hand be taken into a royal custody and questioned under guard.
05:09Let a proper inquiry clear my name.
05:11But Cedric read my intention at once.
05:13A cold smirk touched his lips, as he gave the stable hand the faintest nod.
05:18Scarlet!
05:19I never knew you could be so heartless!
05:21You would have me thrown into prison just to save yourself?
05:24Very well!
05:25If you will show no mercy, I shall show you none!
05:27I saw it with my own eyes when we laid together,
05:30that rose-red birthmark on your left breast.
05:32Go on, Scarlet!
05:34Deny it if you dare!
05:38Two years ago, we had been ambushed.
05:40While tending to my wound, he had accidentally caught sight of
05:44the birthmark on the left side of my chest.
05:46He had blushed.
05:47In the future, I will differently formally marry you as my wife.
05:50And now, to destroy me.
05:52He had revealed my most private secret to a low-born stable.
06:00Scarlet, I believe you are innocent.
06:02You are far too pure to commit such a disgrace, are you not?
06:06Scarlet, do say something.
06:08If this stable-hamp is slanding you,
06:11his majesty will surely see justice done.
06:13Why hesitate?
06:15Unless he is telling the truth.
06:16Adeline, why are you so determined to ruin me?
06:19What have I ever done to deserve such cruelty from you?
06:22I speak only out of pity for his highness.
06:25He has shown you such devotion, yet this is how you repay his affection.
06:30Instead of arguing, perhaps you should focus on proving your innocence.
06:34She was right.
06:35If I could not explain, I would be forever branded a disgrace.
06:39A moment ago, I thought she had been framed.
06:41But her silence tells us enough.
06:43Perhaps the stable-hand is telling the truth.
06:46Wait, Scarlet.
06:48Did you not say words alone prove nothing,
06:50and let everyone see the truth for themselves?
06:55Adeline, I am a lady of the House of Vale.
06:58I will not bear my chest before all these people.
07:00If they saw the mark on my chest, it would prove nothing.
07:03I would only be ruined beyond repair.
07:05That was her trap.
07:06I am only trying to help you, Scarlet.
07:09A little humiliation is better than being ruined by the word of that low-born stable-hand.
07:14She is right, Scarlet.
07:16Prove there is nothing between you and that stable-hand,
07:19and I shall not condemn you.
07:21Our wedding will proceed as planned.
07:23I almost burst out laughing.
07:25Even without the birthmark, Cedric would have set another trap to ruin me.
07:28Either way, I couldn't escape my fate.
07:31I admit it.
07:32There is a birthmark on my chest.
07:35Good heavens, she confessed!
07:38A duke's daughter let a stable-hand see her bare skin!
07:41Three generations of the Vale family served the crown with honor.
07:44Her Majesty once praised her as a model of noble womanship.
07:47How could she sink so low?
07:48She has disgraced her name.
07:50A woman like her has no place in decent society.
07:53Scarlet, I cannot believe you truly betrayed me.
07:57Your virtue is now in question.
07:58You can no longer be my wife, but I will not cast you into disgrace.
08:01I could keep you under my protection as my mistress.
08:04No title, no honor, hidden from society's eyes.
08:07Will you accept my mercy?
08:09What an honorable man.
08:11She is a fallen woman, and still he refuses to abandon her.
08:15They did not know the truth, but I did.
08:17Cedric wore devotion like a mask, but his heart belonged to Adeline.
08:20He would never wound her by making me his lawful wife.
08:23So he had staged this farce to ruin my name.
08:26If I yielded, I would step straight into the grave I had seen in my dreams.
08:30I thank you, Your Highness.
08:32But I hold no affection for you.
08:35Scarlet, you refused with my protection.
08:38Are you still longing for that stable hand?
08:40Scarlet, do not be ungrateful.
08:41His Highness adores you.
08:44He is willing to take you even after a stable hand has touched you.
08:47What more could you want?
08:51Scarlet, is this about the title?
08:53I cannot make you my wife here.
08:55Under the law and the church, an unchildy woman may lose everything.
08:58I am trying to save you.
09:00Be sensible.
09:02Bear me a child, and I shall petition my father to make you my lawful wife.
09:07Such devotion.
09:10If a man loved me like that, I could die happy.
09:13Cedric never cared for me.
09:14He needed me alive.
09:16If I died, he would lose House Vale's military support.
09:19What he needed was a living daughter of House Vale.
09:23You have all had your say.
09:25Now it is my turn.
09:29I only admitted that I had a birthmark.
09:32I never said it had anything to do with this stable hand.
09:34Do not be so eager to condemn me.
09:37Scarlet, the witness and the evidence are right here.
09:40And you still deny it?
09:41A lady's chest is not for any man's eyes.
09:44If he is not your lover, how would he know?
09:47Enough, Scarlet.
09:49Press this any further, and even I cannot shield you.
09:53I have done nothing wrong.
09:54Why would I need your protection?
09:56You...
09:57Father, this royal hunt was meant to select my bride, yet it has become a scene of scandal.
10:02Lady Scarlet and I have known each other for years.
10:04I cannot bear to see her condemned.
10:06I beg you.
10:07Spare her.
10:08Grant her to me as a servant in my bedchamber.
10:11It would punish her misconduct and preserve the Crown's dignity.
10:15A servant in his bedchamber?
10:16Lower even than a mistress?
10:18Clever Cedric?
10:19I never said there was no one who could clear me.
10:22Even if that man knows my secret, it does not prove he learnt it from me.
10:28So you still intend to deny it until the bitter end?
10:32Very well.
10:33Tell me, who could possibly prove your innocence now?
10:41His Majesty the King himself.
10:46Dead silence.
10:47All stare at me in shock.
10:49After three breaths, the crowd burst into uproar.
10:52She has lost her mind!
10:54She is dragging the King into this filth!
10:59She cannot clear herself, so now she means to smear the Crown.
11:03That is treason!
11:04She could hang for it!
11:08House Vale is finished.
11:09She will send them all to the Shaffled.
11:16Scarlet, how dare you!
11:19His Majesty's name is not yours to drag through the mud!
11:23Are you so eager to die?
11:27Scarlet!
11:27Do you hear yourself?
11:29My father's name is not yours to throw around!
11:34Your Majesty, I do not speak recklessly.
11:37I only wish to ask one thing.
11:40This royal hunt is presided over by Your Majesty.
11:43The hunting field is guarded at every approach by the King's guard.
11:47Is that not so?
11:48The royal hunting grounds are forbidden to outsiders.
11:50That is the law of the realm.
11:53Not a lowly stable hand, not even a noble lord, may enter without Your Majesty's leave.
11:59Yet today, this servant not only entered.
12:04He came straight to me, recited words plainly prepared in advance, and produced so-called evidence.
12:18So I ask, who gave him the courage to cause such disorder before Your Majesty?
12:25And who has the power to smuggle a servant past the King's guard, and into this royal hunt?
12:33The clamour died at once.
12:35Those who had been shouting accusations at me went pale, uncertainty spreading across their faces.
12:43Cedric had never expected me to turn the accusation this way, instead of being trapped by the poem and the
12:49birthmark.
12:50I am the daughter of the Duke of Vale, whose house has guarded this kingdom's borders for generations, and bled
12:57for the crown.
12:59Today, someone framed me before Your Majesty, not merely to ruin me, but to seize House Vale and turn its
13:07armies against the throne.
13:12To bend a loyal house into another man's weapon.
13:21To turn my father's army against the throne itself.
13:25The crowd stirs.
13:27This is treason against the crown.
13:31Nobles realize Cedric plans to take the throne by marrying me and seizing House Vale's army.
13:38Scarlet!
13:39You lie!
13:41When have I ever harbored such treason?
13:44How dare you slander me!
13:49Slander, you!
13:50From the moment that servant appeared, you defended him at every turn.
13:56You never asked who sent him.
13:58You rushed to condemn me instead.
13:59Why is that, Your Highness?
14:05The lords and ladies who had thought him so devoted now looked at him with new, wary eyes.
14:12I had wagered correctly.
14:16Your Majesty, my honour is a small matter.
14:21The peace of the realm is not.
14:25I beg you, uncover the one behind this plot.
14:29And he would never allow the Queen's faction to swallow House Vale.
14:34Clear my name and preserve the peace of the realm.
14:37The grounds go quiet.
14:39All gaze at the King.
14:40I will expose Cedric's ambition to everyone.
14:43The dream had shown me enough.
14:45The King had never trusted Cedric.
14:50Father!
14:51I am innocent!
14:55I have never harbored such thoughts.
14:57I beg you, see the truth!
15:02His gaze lingers on me, then shifts sharply to Cedric.
15:06Silence, all of you.
15:12Lady Scarlet is right.
15:14In this matter, I can indeed bear witness for her.
15:19Cedric snaps his head up, face full of disbelief.
15:23Adeline collapses pale on the grass, lips shaking without a word.
15:28The crowd stands frozen.
15:30I lift my head to the King calmly, unsurprised.
15:33I knew he would help me, for I gave him a chance to check Cedric and the Queen to strengthen
15:38his rule.
15:42Where is my King's guard?
15:46Where is my King's guard?
15:47Here, your majesty!
15:53Dozens of armored guards surged forward and surrounded the man.
16:03This wretch dared breach my hunting grounds and frame the daughter of a loyal house.
16:08Take him.
16:10Drag him to the High Tribunal and interrogate him thoroughly.
16:14I want to know who emboldened him to sow disorder under my very eyes.
16:18Yes, your majesty!
16:20The guards hold the man up, limp with terror, and drag him away.
16:32Cedric.
16:35Yes, father.
16:37I arranged this hunt to choose you a bride.
16:40And look what you have made of it.
16:45A stranger breached forbidden ground under your nose and framed the daughter of a war hero.
16:51You did not seek the truth.
16:53You rushed to condemn her.
16:55Blind, reckless, unworthy.
16:58Are you fit for the post I entrusted to you?
17:02Mercy, father!
17:04I was wrong.
17:05I lost my head.
17:06Punish me as you see fit.
17:08From today, you are confined to your estate for three months.
17:12Reflect on your conduct.
17:13And the capital guard under your command, you will surrender it at once.
17:20Adeline.
17:22Daughter of the Vantric.
17:25Adeline trembled so hard she could barely remain on her knees.
17:29From the start, you meddled at every turn, distorting the truth and stirring discord,
17:34with none of the decorum expected of a noblewoman.
17:37Go home.
17:38Six months' confinement.
17:40You will learn proper conduct from the Mistress of Ceremonies.
17:45Scarlet, rise.
17:48You are the Duke of Vale's daughter, raised with honour and proposal.
17:51I trust your character.
17:55Someone framed you today.
17:58Your innocence.
18:00I vouch for it myself.
18:02His voice carried across the entire field.
18:05Anyone who dares gossip about this matter again,
18:08or slander the Duke of Vale's household,
18:11will answer for contempt of the crown.
18:13The King vindicated me, ending all slander.
18:16I thank your majesty.
18:19Your majesty's justice is a blessing to the realm.
18:23Cedric and Adeline had gone deathly pale.
18:25Those two owed me blood.
18:28Now it was their turn to pay.
18:30I was safe at last, but it was not over.
18:32I smiled coldly.
18:35Two anxious hours crawled by.
18:39Then the report was delivered to the King.
18:50Cedric!
18:51What have you to say for yourself now?
19:03The stable hand confessed all during the High Tribunal's first questioning.
19:10He was no veil servant, merely Cedric's disguised secret agent.
19:17Cedric's men told him every word to recite.
19:20The love poem, Forged.
19:23Cedric copied my handwriting from old letters to create it.
19:27He bribed guards to let the spy into the hunting grounds.
19:30And Adeline aided the entire plot.
19:36The truth unfolds, shocking everyone.
19:39Cedric fabricated the scandal to destroy me and seize House Vale's power.
19:48Father!
19:48Father! I was wrong!
19:50I lost my senses!
19:51I beg you, forgive me this once!
20:01Forgive you?
20:03You commit such a vile act and still expect mercy?
20:07I will get you.
20:13I will get you.
20:13I will get you.
20:13I will get you.
20:13I will get you.
20:13In the end, the decree came down.
20:16Prince Cedric, corrupt in character, guilty of framing a loyal house, was stripped of his
20:21royal rank and succession rights, reduced to the rank of a minor peer.
20:25Adeline, son accomplice, Malicious in Intent,
20:29était sentenced à 30 lashes.
20:32Cédric cut off de la throne forever,
20:34et Adeline became a laughingstock de la capitale,
20:38doomed to spend the rest of her life in disgrace.
20:41Le storm at the hunting field had finally come to an end.
20:47Only then did I realise my fine gown
20:49was soaked through with cold sweat.
20:51My father heard what had happened
20:53and rode back at a gallop.
20:55The moment he saw me, his eyes reddened.
20:59Father, it is all right.
21:01Because of this, I finally saw certain people
21:04for what they truly were.
21:06Three days after we returned,
21:08another royal decree arrived from the palace,
21:10a betrothal decree.
21:12The king betrothed me to Prince Arthur,
21:14his favoured son, born to his late queen.
21:17In my dream, Arthur was the only man
21:19who dared speak for House Vale
21:20after Cédric seized the throne.
21:22I had not expected him to bind me directly to Arthur.
21:25Then I understood.
21:26Binding House Vale to Arthur would curb the queen's faction
21:29and the ruined Cédric both.
21:31It would also set his two sons against each other,
21:33so his own throne would stand more secure.
21:35Another perfect royal calculation.
21:37But I had no reason to refuse.
21:39Arthur was upright, steady, brave, and sharp.
21:42A thousand times the man Cédric was.
21:45I signed my name on the decree.
21:47Word spread quickly through the capital.
21:49Confined to his estate,
21:50Cédric shattered every antique in his study,
21:53unable to understand how his own trap had freed me instead.
21:56A fortnight later,
21:57the moment the restrictions on his confinement were relaxed,
22:00he stormed to the gates of House Vale
22:01and demanded to see me.
22:04In only a few days,
22:06Cédric had grown gaunt and hollow.
22:08Nothing left of the polished prince
22:10who had once looked down on everyone.
22:12I was wrong.
22:13I was terribly wrong.
22:14I lost my senses,
22:15and I wronged you.
22:17But I only did it because I loved you too much.
22:19I was terrified of losing you.
22:21Terrified you would refuse me.
22:22Terrified another lord would claim your hand.
22:24Forgive me.
22:25Let us go back to how we were.
22:27There has only ever been you.
22:30Cédric,
22:31have you forgotten?
22:32A fortnight ago at the royal hunt,
22:34you called me shameless before everyone.
22:36Now that you have fallen from power,
22:38you suddenly remember my worth?
22:39Scarlet, that was all false.
22:41An act.
22:42I never once thought that of you.
22:43Enough.
22:44Spare me your lies.
22:45I remember every single thing you did.
22:47You think you are worthy to marry me?
22:49I would sooner take the veil
22:51than wed a vicious, power-hungry snake like you.
22:56Three months later,
22:57I wed Prince Arthur.
22:59The ceremony was magnificent,
23:00and the king bestowed lavish gifts upon us.
23:03From that day on,
23:04Arthur and I were true allies.
23:06I told him every scheme I remembered from my dream.
23:09He gave me trust and respect,
23:11and never once tried to command House Vale's forces.
23:13Together,
23:14we moved with perfect understanding.
23:16Before long,
23:17Cédric was pressed from every side.
23:19Yet still,
23:20he would not give up.
23:20In secret,
23:21he colluded with the enemy kingdom beyond the border,
23:24intending to join forces with foreign troops
23:26and seize the throne by force.
23:28All of it unfolded exactly as I had foreseen.
23:32The dream had shown me Cédric would gain the upper hand in the struggle for the crown,
23:36by colluding with the enemy kingdom beyond the border.
23:39Now that I knew,
23:40I would never let him win.
23:41In advance,
23:42I sent my father a secret letter.
23:44He set a trap at the border fortress,
23:46crushed the enemy forces,
23:47and seized the letters Cédric had sent them,
23:50each bearing his private seal.
23:51Proof beyond denial.
23:52Treason meant the blot,
23:54or the noose.
23:55Now,
23:55the king showed no mercy.
23:57Cédric was stripped of rank,
23:58reduced to a commoner,
23:59chained in the dungeon,
24:01and sentenced to lose his head in autumn.
24:03The queen,
24:03implicated in the plot,
24:04was deposed and confined to a remote tower for life.
24:07Adeline fell with him.
24:09Her family's estate was seized.
24:10Its men were exiled to the mines,
24:12and its women were sent to houses of correction.
24:14The night before they took her away,
24:16Adeline hanged herself.
24:17In the dream,
24:18they stood on my corpse and rose to glory.
24:20Now,
24:21they fell into ruin.
24:22Blood repaid in blood.
24:23With Cédric gone,
24:24no one could stand against Arthur.
24:26Years later,
24:27the old king fell ill
24:28and abdicated in Arthur's favour.
24:30On the day of the coronation,
24:31the sky was clear and endless.
24:41I named Crown Princess Scarlet of House Vale
24:44my queen.
24:46In the dream,
24:46I had died in the abandoned east wing,
24:49choking on hatred.
24:50Now,
24:50I stood crowned,
24:51avenged,
24:52my family safe,
24:53at the height of power.
24:54Scarlet,
24:55from now on,
24:57this kingdom is ours to rule together.
25:00Sunlight poured over us,
25:02warm and blinding.
25:03All who had wronged me had received their due.
25:07inside the royal bedchamber,
25:09candles flickered against the dark mahogany bed.
25:12Arthur's large hands slid onto my bare, trembling shoulders from behind.
25:17He leaned down to kiss me,
25:19but the moment his lips brushed my skin,
25:21I stiffened in pure panic.
25:23My face went pale,
25:25and my entire body shook with fear.
25:27Arthur noticed my terror immediately.
25:30He was the absolute king,
25:32but he stopped.
25:33He suppressed his burning desire,
25:35showing immense restraint.
25:37He pulled me into a soft embrace,
25:39hiding his own heartache.
25:41Scarlet, look at me.
25:43You are safe now.
25:45I will never hurt you.
25:48Forgive me, your highness.
25:51I...
25:51I just need time.
25:54I forced a polite, queenly smile,
25:57erecting a perfect wall of court etiquette between us.
26:02We swore our vows in the cathedral, Scarlet.
26:05But in your heart,
26:07am I always going to be just a cold ally?
26:09Just a business partner who traded a crown for House Vale's army?
26:14Get out.
26:15Closing the heavy oak doors,
26:17I stood alone in the quiet room,
26:19my heart in utter chaos.
26:23At the grand ball of the social season,
26:25the music played softly.
26:27Several duchesses stood behind me,
26:29hiding their faces with lace fangs.
26:31They whispered sneers about me,
26:33mocking the scandals Cedric had staged.
26:36Look at her.
26:37A lady whose name was ruined in public.
26:41Now wearing a crown.
26:43The king only married her for father's soldiers.
26:46And him, Marianne.
26:48She is just an empty political puppet to him.
26:51They tried to isolate me,
26:53wanting to humiliate House Vale.
26:56Suddenly, Arthur broke through the crowd in his sharp uniform.
26:59Guards, revoke these ladies' palace invitations immediately.
27:03They are banished from court.
27:05The crowd gasped.
27:07Then, defying all strict noble etiquette,
27:11Arthur knelt on one knee right before me.
27:13He gently adjusted my lace satin shoe.
27:16May I have this dance, my beautiful queen?
27:18He declared his absolute devotion to the entire kingdom.
27:22Later, inside the royal carriage heading back,
27:25Arthur looked at me with burning anticipation.
27:28But I kept my hands folded neatly.
27:30Thank you for the perfect political performance tonight,
27:33Your Majesty.
27:34It will surely secure my family's loyalty to your throne.
27:37The warmth in Arthur's eyes instantly turned to ice.
27:43Arthur slammed a glass of warm wine onto the mahogany desk.
27:46He's stopping me just as I curtsied to leave.
27:50Stay.
27:51We need to talk.
27:54It is late, Your Majesty.
27:57A proper lady should return.
28:00To her quarters.
28:02Stop it, Scarlet!
28:03I am sick of this perfect, emotionless mask!
28:11Arthur lost his temper.
28:13The strict decorum of the realm had pushed him to his limit.
28:17He trapped me against the cold wall,
28:19His arms locking me in place.
28:21You smile gracefully at every single minister in the cabinet.
28:25You give them your warmth.
28:26But when it comes to me, your own husband,
28:29You treat me like a deadly enemy.
28:31I am doing my duty as your queen.
28:33What more do you want from me?
28:34Arthur leaned down and planted a desperate,
28:37Yet deeply affectionate kiss on my mouth.
28:40Suddenly, a tear slid down my cheek.
28:43He saw the fear in my eyes.
28:45Arthur immediately released my hand,
28:47Looking at his own trembling hands.
28:49His gentlemanly facade crumbled.
28:52We were both breathing heavily.
28:53Our hearts filled with anguish.
28:57I had a high fever,
28:59And my dreams were filled with Cedric and Adeline's many evil demons.
29:05No!
29:07Please!
29:08Why did you fake that poem?
29:11Don't destroy my family!
29:13Arthur stormed into the room,
29:15Shoved aside the panicked royal physician,
29:17And forbade anyone else to come near me.
29:19Get out!
29:21All of you!
29:23Leave us!
29:25Arthur stayed by my side all night.
29:27He didn't care about his royal dignity.
29:30He personally wiped my forehead with ice water.
29:33When I convulsed in pain,
29:34He even shoved his own arm into my mouth to keep me from biting my tongue.
29:40I'm here, Scarlet.
29:41I'm not leaving you.
29:44Please wake up.
29:45By morning,
29:46I slowly opened my eyes as the fever broke.
29:49I saw the mighty king holding my hand tightly.
29:52He had fallen asleep against the bedpost.
29:54His arms covered in my frantic scratches.
29:57The iron wall around my heart cracked.
29:59I wanted to touch his face.
30:01Arthur's long eyelashes fluttered,
30:03And his deep eyes snapped open.
30:07Arthur's eyes locked onto mine,
30:09Filled with instant alertness that quickly melted into relief.
30:13He sat up,
30:13Hiding his exhaustion behind a tight nod.
30:17You are awake.
30:20The fever has broken.
30:25Your majesty.
30:27You stayed here all night.
30:30Your arm is bleeding.
30:33It is nothing.
30:36Rest now, Scarlet.
30:38He left to attend the State Council.
30:40A few hours later,
30:41I felt strong enough to walk.
30:43I went into Arthur's private study to return a book,
30:47But accidentally knocked over a hidden compartment in his desk.
30:51A small ebony box fell out,
30:53Its lock broken.
30:54I picked one up.
30:56It was a love poem,
30:58Written impassionate.
31:00To the lady of my dreams,
31:03The only star in my dark sky.
31:12My heart sank like a stone.
31:14I felt a sharp, burning pain in my chest.
31:17This was a real love poem,
31:19Unlike the forgery Cedric had used.
31:21A wave of intense jealousy washed over me.
31:24For the first time,
31:25I realized I had fallen in love with Arthur.
31:28But now, I believed he had a secret woman in his heart,
31:32And I was just a replacement.
31:34Suddenly, the door swung open.
31:36Arthur walked in.
31:37Seeing the ebony box and the poems in my hands,
31:40His face turned completely pale.
31:42He rushed forward and snapped them away.
31:46The next afternoon,
31:48I stood near the rose garden,
31:49Talking to a young border earl,
31:51Who had just returned to the capital.
31:53He was my childhood friend.
31:55You look radiant as our queen, Lady Scarlet.
31:59Your family is very proud.
32:01Thank you, Lucas.
32:03It is wonderful to see a familiar face from home.
32:06I offered him a genuine, relaxed smile.
32:09Something I had never shown Arthur.
32:11Not far away.
32:12His knuckles turned white as he gripped his cane.
32:15Pure jealousy consumed him.
32:17Breaking all strict court rules,
32:19Arthur marched into the garden.
32:21He grabbed my waist and pulled me flush against his chest,
32:24Marking his territory.
32:25Earl Lucas,
32:27I believe your briefing with the War Ministry is about to begin.
32:31Do not let us detain you.
32:33Of course, your majesty.
32:35Please excuse me.
32:36Earl bowed and hurried away.
32:37I pushed Arthur away with all my might.
32:40Arthur, release me.
32:42The servants are watching.
32:43Arthur ignored my words.
32:45He leaned down and kissed my gloved wrist with fierce intensity,
32:49his eyes burning.
32:51Without a word, he lifted me into his arms and carried me straight toward the palace.
32:57The heavy oak doors of the royal bedchamber slammed shut.
33:00Arthur set me down, but immediately trapped me against the wall.
33:06Why can you smile so easily at him, Scarlet?
33:09Why does a mere earl get your warmth, while your husband receives nothing but ice?
33:15He is my friend!
33:17We were just speaking politely!
33:20He looked at you like he wanted to steal my queen!
33:22And you let him!
33:24I pushed his chest with all my might.
33:26And what about you, Arthur?
33:30You demand my heart, but yours belongs to someone else!
33:34I saw the poems in the ebony box.
33:36You love another woman!
33:38What?
33:39You married me for House Vale's army.
33:42You just want a perfect puppet queen while you dream about her!
33:51Admit it!
33:52Arthur completely froze.
33:54He stared at my sobbing face.
33:56And then, a look of pure, unbelievable joy broke across his features.
34:00A low, breathless chuckle escaped his lips.
34:03Scarlet.
34:07Are you crying because of those poems?
34:11Are you jealous?
34:14I turned my face away, refusing to look at his triumphant smile.
34:19But Arthur grabbed my hands and forced me to follow him to his desk.
34:23He pulled out the ebony box and threw it open.
34:27Look at them, Scarlet. Read the dates.
34:29I don't care about your past lovers, Arthur.
34:34Read them.
34:35I reluctantly looked down at the old papers.
34:38My eyes widened.
34:40The first paper wasn't a poem.
34:42It was a faded, embroidered lace handkerchief.
34:45It was mine.
34:46I had lost it at a festival ten years ago, when I was just a young girl.
34:50I picked up the poems.
34:52The dates went back years, long before Cedric had ever approached me.
34:56There is no other woman, Scarlet.
34:59There never was.
35:03I was a forgotten prince.
35:06And you were the Duke's beautiful daughter.
35:09I loved you from the shadows for a decade.
35:12You... you wrote these for me?
35:15Before Cedric ruined your name, before the entire kingdom knew who I was, I belonged to you.
35:22Every line was written for you.
35:25I covered my mouth, my tears fresh, but the heavy weight of the past finally vanished.
35:37The candles burned low, casting warm shadows across the bedchamber.
35:41My tears flowed freely, but the cold fear and distrust from my recent trials completely melted away.
35:47I looked at Arthur, my heart aching for the years he had loved me in silence.
35:52Yet, looking at his pure devotion, I felt a sudden wave of hesitation.
35:58I felt broken, stained by my past nightmares.
36:02Arthur...
36:04I am not the innocent girl you remember.
36:06My soul is full of scars.
36:11I am afraid I cannot give you the perfect love you deserve.
36:19I don't want a perfect lady. Scarlet, I want you.
36:25Arthur stepped forward, his eyes filled with endless tenderness.
36:29He reached out, and gently unbuttoned the long row of silk hooks on my formal gown.
36:34There was no royal command, no force, only pure reverence.
36:39For the first time, I did not pull away.
36:41That night, beneath the velvet canopy, our bodies and souls finally became one.
36:47But as I stared out at the dark sky, a new worry gripped my mind.
36:52In this kingdom, a queen's ultimate duty was to provide an heir. Could I give him that?
37:00Sunlight poured through the sheer curtains, warming the grand bed.
37:06Arthur tangled his legs with mine, completely ignoring the chiming clock.
37:10He pulled me close, kissing my neck over and over like a rogue.
37:15Arthur, stop. The state council begins in less than an hour.
37:19Let them wait.
37:22The ministers can rule the kingdom for one morning.
37:28Outside the door, the royal butler knocked with precise, frantic politeness, calling for his majesty.
37:34You are the king. Act like one. Come. Let me help you.
37:42I stood before the dressing mirror, carefully smoothing his velvet waistcoat and fastening his royal ascot tie.
37:49Arthur slid his arms around my waist from behind, resting his chin on my shoulder.
37:55I could stay in this room with you forever, my queen.
38:01The sweet moment shattered when the door flew open. The prime minister rushed into the outer study, his face grim.
38:10Your majesty, forgive the Androsian. The conservative lords have formed an alliance.
38:15They demand an emergency audience regarding the royal succession.
38:27Inside the solemn council chambers, the atmosphere was suffocating. Several elderly dukes stood in a straight line.
38:34Your majesty, the kingdom needs stability. House Vale's army is strong, but a queen must provide a blood bear to
38:41secure the throne.
38:43The succession cannot remain empty. If her majesty cannot conceive, tradition dictates you must take a noble mistress from a
38:50loyal house to ensure the lineage.
38:54Behind the heavy velvet screen, I stood in total silence. The cruel words felt like ice water running through my
39:01veins. The suffocating pressure of royal tradition was crushing me.
39:06Before the dukes could finish, Arthur slammed his fist onto the mahogany. The royal inkwell flipped, spilling dark fluid across
39:13their petition. His eyes flashed with terrifying rage.
39:17Silence! How dare you bring such filth into my court!
39:21Your majesty, it is the law of the... I am the law!
39:25There will be no other woman in my palace. Scarlet is my only queen.
39:31Anyone who mentions a mistress again will be stripped of their titles and tried for treason.
39:36The dukes paled and bowed in terror. The king may command the court, but the church rules the vows.
39:46If the throne remains empty for one year, the Holy Council will review the marriage.
39:54I sat alone in my dark parlour, my fingers tightly gripping my lace handkerchief.
40:00The door burst open and Arthur strode in, his face tense with anger and worry.
40:07Do not listen to them, Scarlet. I will handle the church.
40:11I will execute them all if I have to.
40:16Arthur, please. You cannot wage war against the Holy Council.
40:22If my womb is cursed, perhaps you should consider their proposal.
40:29For the sake of the kingdom.
40:31Arthur's grip tightened until it almost hurt.
40:33He forced me to look at him, his eyes burning with painful intensity.
40:37He leaned down and bit my lip, a passionate, desperate punishment for my words.
40:43Never say that again!
40:45I did not fight for this crown just to breed like an animal.
40:49If I cannot have a future with you, this throne means absolutely nothing to me.
40:56My heart shattered and healed all at once.
40:59Tears spilled from my eyes as I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him back with reckless fervour.
41:06A few days later, the tension in the palace became too heavy.
41:12Arthur surprised me by tossing a bundle of rough cotton clothes onto my bed.
41:16Put these on, my queen. Today, we are escaping the crown.
41:24Heavy fog rolled through the crowded streets of the capital.
41:27He held my hand tightly as we walked through the bustling marketplace.
41:30I wore a plain wool shawl, my face completely hidden from the world.
41:35Suddenly, a rough beggar shoved past us.
41:39Arthur!
41:39Arthur's eyes turned cold.
41:41With lightning speed, he grabbed the thief's wrist, twisting it behind his back and forcing him to the cobblestone ground
41:47in one swift, brutal move.
41:49Touch her again, and you lose the hand.
41:51The thief screamed and fled into the crown.
41:54Arthur immediately turned to me, checking my hands with deep concern.
41:58Are you hurt?
41:59Did he touch you?
42:01No, I am perfectly fine.
42:03You were amazing.
42:04We spent the day drinking hot cocoa in a small tavern and kissing by an old stone fountain.
42:10At dusk, we rode to a lonely hill overlooking the capital.
42:13Arthur knelt on the grass, holding out a simple wooden ring he had carved himself.
42:17But before I could speak, a sudden crack of thunder shook the sky.
42:24Lightning flashed across the darkening sky.
42:26The sudden thunderlight terrified the horses, and the royal carriage merged forward violently, careening down the muddy, rain-slicked road.
42:34I was trapped inside the bouncing cabin, my hands gripping the velvet seats as the vehicle sped toward a steep
42:39ravine.
42:40Arthur spurred his horse, racing desperately behind me through the blinding downfall.
42:45Scarlet!
42:46Hold on!
42:47Hold on!
42:52The carriage hit a massive boulder near the cliff's edge, and was thrown through the sped.
42:56No!
42:57Scarlet!
42:58Arthur threw himself off his horse.
43:00He lunged over the edge, catching me in mid-air, and wrapping his strong arms tightly around my body.
43:05We tumbled down the rocky, thorn-covered slope together.
43:08A little clod echoed through the storm, as Arthur's back slammed hard against a jagged stone outplot, cushioning my fall
43:14completely.
43:15Arthur! Open your eyes! Please! God, no!
43:18I cradled his head. Absolute terror gripped my soul. I could not lose him.
43:24Inside the royal pavilion, chaos erupted. Maidservants surged back and forth with bloody linen, and the palace physicians grew pale
43:32with fear as they treated the unconscious king.
43:35Outside the heavy chamber doors, several conservative ministers huddled in the corridor, whispering eagerly.
43:41The king is gravely injured. If he passes without an heir, the throne belongs to the church's faction.
43:49We must seize control of the capital guard before House Vale hears of this.
43:55The doors flew open. I stepped out. My white silk dress stained with Arthur's blood. My eyes were red from
44:01crying.
44:03Silence! All of you!
44:05Your Majesty, we are merely discussing the safety of the realm.
44:08I drew Arthur's royal sword from my waist. You are discussing truth. Guards, arrest these men and confine them to
44:16the tower immediately.
44:17Anyone who spreads rumours about the king's health will hang by sunrise.
44:22The royal guards immediately dragged the trembling ministers away.
44:26Late that night, I knelt by Arthur's bed, holding his cold hand against my cheek.
44:30Please come back to me, Arthur. I love you. I will give you everything. Just wake up.
44:40The morning sun peeked through the heavy curtains. I sat frozen by the bedside. My eyes closed in exhaustion.
44:47Suddenly, I felt a gentle, deliberate squeeze on my fingers. I snapped my eyes open. Arthur was staring at me.
44:55Did you mean it? Every single word?
44:59Arthur! You are awake! I will call the physicians!
45:02I tried to stand, but Arthur pulled me back down.
45:07Answer me first, my queen. You said you loved me. You said you would give me everything.
45:13I realised the clever rogue had probably woken up hours ago just to trick me into a confession.
45:19I slapped his uninjured shoulder lightly, my eyes filling with happy tears.
45:25You horrible, arrogant man. I was worried to death.
45:32I know.
45:33I turned to leave in mock anger, but Arthur groaned loudly.
45:37Ah, my chest, the pain.
45:39Panicked, I immediately leaned over him to check the wounds.
45:43Arthur instantly hooked his arm around my neck, pulling me down into a deep, desperate kiss
45:47that tasted of copper and sweet relief.
45:53Two weeks later, inside my dressing room, I stood before the mirror as my maids fastened my royal corset.
46:00Suddenly, a wave of intense dizziness hit me.
46:03I clutched the vanity table and violently gagged, my face turning entirely white.
46:09The elderly chief physician was summoned immediately.
46:12He pressed his fingers against my wrist, counting my pulse in breathless silence.
46:17God bless the realm, your majesty. The queen is two months with child.
46:22The room erupted into gasps and cheers.
46:25Arthur, who had just walked in, froze completely at the doorway.
46:28His royal cane hit the queen's hand, clattering against the marble floor.
46:31A child. Our child.
46:35I smiled through my tears, nodding softly.
46:38Arthur rushed forward, completely throwing away his kingly dignity.
46:41He scooped me up and spun me around in circles, laughing like a madman.
46:46An heir! My beautiful queen has given us an heir!
46:49The conservative lords who had demanded a mistress stood outside the room.
46:54But as the days passed, Arthur's joy transformed into something entirely different.
46:58An absolute, suffocating obsession with my safety.
47:06In the middle of the night, I merely shifted my weight on the soft feather mattress, turning to my left
47:11side.
47:11And instantly, Arthur bolted upright in bed.
47:15Scarlet! What is it? Are you in pain? Should I call the guards?
47:20Arthur, it is three in the morning. I was just turning around.
47:25Arthur sighed, rubbing his tired eyes.
47:27He had moved his massive oak desk into my bedroom weeks ago, refusing to leave my sight.
47:33Every single piece of furniture in the palace now had thick velvet padding wrapped around its sharp corners.
47:38I sat up and gently unknotted his silk nightshirt, pulling him down into my arms.
47:43I kissed his worried brow, running my fingers through his messy hair.
47:46You need to breathe, my king. The baby and I are perfectly safe. Your love is protecting us.
47:54Arthur relaxed against my chest, holding my swollen stomach with deep reverence.
47:59Months flew by. I was resting by the fireplace when a sudden sharp pain ripped through my abdomen.
48:05Water soaked through my silk gown.
48:08Arthur, it's time.
48:10Outside the delivery room, the mighty king stood trembling, his hands shaking so violently.
48:16He could barely hold his royal scepter.
48:23A piercing healthy cry echoed through the grand halls of the palace.
48:27The heavy oak doors of the delivery room swung open.
48:31The head nurse stepped out, cradling a bundle of golden silk.
48:35The ministers and lords crowded around, eager to see the new Prince of Aslan.
48:40But Arthur didn't even look at his newborn son.
48:42He brushed past everyone, his eyes red and filled with tears as he rushed straight to my bedside.
48:49He kissed my fingers over and over, his shoulders shaking as he wept with pure gratitude.
48:55Thank you, my brave girl. Thank you, my queen.
48:58He is beautiful, Arthur. He looks just like you.
49:02Two years later, the sun shone brightly over the grand capital.
49:06The bells of the cathedral rang out in joyous harmony.
49:09Arthur and I stood side by side on the high palace balcony, looking down at thousands of cheering citizens.
49:15Arthur held our young toddler in one arm, while his other hand was locked tightly with mine.
49:20I looked at the peaceful kingdom.
49:22I had saved my family, rewritten my fate, and won an eternal love.
49:27That means the
