00:00There's a baby under the snow, help me!
00:02She's freezing, Your Majesty. She may not make it.
00:04Wrap her in my cloak.
00:06Her son, Luciusian, he's not Kurt.
00:08There's a poisoned silver needle in the back of his skull.
00:12Who said that?
00:13Your Majesty, nobody spoke.
00:15If she waits until dawn, the prince won't wake up again.
00:19Why can only she hear me?
00:21You didn't hear that? Not a child's voice?
00:23Only the storm. Please, we should get inside.
00:28They called it a curse while my son was dying.
00:30Your Majesty, you can't put your faith in a fever dream.
00:34I'm not trusting a dream.
00:36I'm trusting the only voice that knows my son's secret.
00:41Open the East Hall. Wake every doctor.
00:44The prince hasn't moved all night.
00:46Faster. He's slipping away.
00:48One more minute and he'll never move again.
00:51Check the back of his head. Now.
00:53Your Majesty, we checked him for weeks. There's nothing there.
00:56Not with your hands, idiot.
00:59The needle is thinner than hair.
01:01Get me a Lodomite.
01:02The prince is possessed.
01:04Medicine can't fix this.
01:06And now she's bringing a snow-buried child into his bedchamber.
01:09Say one more word and you'll leave this room in chains.
01:13If this hurts him, I can't answer for what happens.
01:17Then pray it works.
01:18Lower. Half an inch.
01:20Half an inch. Left. Stop.
01:22Something moved. I saw it.
01:24That's impossible.
01:25Get it out. Carefully.
01:29Poisoned black silver.
01:30Latched in the prince's skull.
01:34Mother.
01:36I'm here.
01:38You're safe now.
01:39Who's the baby?
01:41Don't celebrate.
01:42The person who did this is still watching.
01:44Nobody leaves.
01:45Seal the doors.
01:47This needle's from the northern black market.
01:49No common servant could get it.
01:50Someone powerful wanted my son dead.
01:55Golden star ring?
01:57Seraphina?
01:59Seraphina?
02:00Your majesty, should we send guards for Lady Seraphina?
02:03No.
02:05We let the snake think we're blind.
02:06The church needs to examine the child you brought in.
02:09Then the church starts with everyone who touched my son.
02:13Your majesty, the Dowager queen is dying.
02:15She's not sick.
02:17She's being poisoned to death.
02:19Take me to her.
02:20Now.
02:24Your majesty, it's the white-robed healer's calming powder.
02:27Her heart has only weakened.
02:28No.
02:29I just got my son back.
02:30I'm not losing her tonight.
02:32It's poison.
02:33Slow poison.
02:34It's drowning her heart.
02:35Leave us.
02:36Everybody out.
02:37Your majesty, if she dies alone with you...
02:40Then write down that you failed her first.
02:42Out!
02:44Tell me what to do.
02:46Please.
02:47One drop.
02:48On her tongue.
02:50Hurry.
02:51You're just a baby.
02:52And she's almost dead.
02:54Move.
02:56Who is that child?
02:59The one heaven left at our gate.
03:02Then protect her.
03:03Whatever she is, every miracle is burning her too.
03:08Alara, stay with me.
03:09Nobody takes this child.
03:20Read it again.
03:21The baby lived.
03:22The queen took her into the palace.
03:24That thing should be dead.
03:25Lower your voice.
03:27Dead children don't start rumors.
03:29Living ones do.
03:30If the queen keeps her, people will ask where she came from and why my sons were named royal heirs.
03:35The black star was supposed to disappear.
03:37If she stays near the crown, the prophecy could change.
03:40No!
03:40I'm the golden star.
03:42You said that!
03:42You are whatever this kingdom believes.
03:44Then let me go to the palace.
03:46I'll expose her.
03:48If the queen defends the child, go after the queen's judgment.
03:52Call the church.
03:54A cursed child near the prince is a danger to the realm.
03:57My lady, do we really have to?
04:01Saints don't ask twice.
04:03By dawn, the queen will beg me to take that baby away.
04:07Your majesty, where did that child come from?
04:09From the snow.
04:11And now, from my arms.
04:13A nameless baby beside the Dao Tesha queen, that's insane.
04:17Madness is letting cowards decide who deserves mercy.
04:20The church needs to know if she carries a dark mark.
04:23Nobody touches her.
04:24Then the court will think you're hiding something.
04:26I'm not hiding anything.
04:28I'm adopting her.
04:29Into the royal family?
04:30She has no bloodline.
04:31She saved me.
04:33That's enough.
04:34Her name is Ilara.
04:35Then Ilara is under my protection.
04:37This decision will anger powerful houses.
04:40Let them be angry outside my door.
04:43I came to pray for the Dao Tesha queen, but I see the curse got here first.
04:53A baby found in the snow shouldn't be sleeping near a prince.
04:56Careful.
04:57You're speaking of a child under royal protection.
05:00If she's innocent, let the church examine her.
05:03A dark star mark would explain the disasters around the palace.
05:06She didn't curse me.
05:07She woke me up.
05:09Poor prince.
05:10Poison makes people confused.
05:12Say that to him again, and you'll pray with fewer teeth.
05:15Her rights leave.
05:16Poison.
05:17She wants the queen's tea.
05:18Bring fresh tea.
05:20Our holy guest gets the first cup.
05:22I'm fasting for my prayers.
05:24How convenient.
05:25Your majesty, Lady Seperfina, is the golden star.
05:27She deserves respect.
05:28Respect is earned.
05:30Titles are borrowed.
05:31Then let the Holy Hall judge her tomorrow, in public.
05:34The child's fate should be decided before the court.
05:37Then the court can hear who's been accusing a baby.
05:42Tomorrow, she'll plant the poison on me.
05:45Fine.
05:46Tomorrow, in the Holy Hall.
05:48Some babies bring blessings.
05:50Some bring graves.
05:52Hide it in the baby's blanket.
05:55Somewhere they'll find it, not somewhere they'll miss.
05:59If they catch me, I'll hang.
06:01Refuse me.
06:02And you'll wish they had hanged you.
06:08The duke always thinks bigger.
