00:00Captains, I would have the warlock alone.
00:02My lord, we were mapping the Frostkin raids on the northern passes.
00:05This is no audience for a southern feast and a bride playing serving girl.
00:08The Frostkin take the passes because the North has no dragons to hold them.
00:12I was born in that North, Captain. You map my home. I will stand here while you do it.
00:18Five blades drawn and a roost full of dragons. Her hand did not shake once.
00:25Every girl in the North dreams of her binding day. None of them dream of the cage.
00:30My people used to be the best dragon callers alive. We have not called one in a hundred years.
00:34A sky people with no dragons is just prey. So my father sells the only thing he has left. Me.
00:43Skybound. I came for what is promised.
00:53You belong to me now.
00:55Rebek of the Black Clo. His dragons are the only thing between us and the Frostkin. He wants you for
01:00them.
01:00So my blood buys your dragons and you call it a treaty.
01:04I am trading one girl to keep 10,000 people alive. Say no.
01:07And the Black Claw rides south. The Frostkin come down off that ridge and everyone in this keep is dead
01:11by spring.
01:12I am not the answer to your problems. Find another way.
01:15Then walk out that door and tell 10,000 people yourself.
01:18I will not be sold to a Black Clo warlord to pay for your war. Find another way.
01:22Cassia, you will not shame me in front of the whole keep.
01:39So, this is the Dragonless Princess. They are selling me. They told me the North had nothing left worth taking.
01:46They were wrong.
01:47Let go of me. I have not been given to you yet.
01:50You were mine. The day your father ran out of options. Tonight is just the part with witnesses.
01:54Soft hair.
01:57A whole people who forgot how to hold their own beasts.
02:00And one of the Frostkin are sharpening their knives.
02:01We were calling dragons out of the sky while your horde was still eating its dead.
02:05Do not lecture me on what we lost.
02:07They told me you were timid. Timid does not survive my keep. Your wrist, little queen.
02:18What is this?
02:19My cuff and yours came out of the same iron. After tonight, there is no one making it.
02:23The North gave you away, little queen. I keep what the North gives.
02:28You are shaking. Good. A dragon can smell a coward, and a coward it will not carry.
02:34Be afraid, but do not be a coward.
02:36My hands shake because your hand is on me. Do not mistake it for anything you would want to feel.
02:40Give it time. You will stop hating me when you realize I am the only one keeping your people alive.
02:45You can lock iron on me, but you cannot make me want it.
03:01Every one of them lives or dies on what I say next. No one walks out of a door with
03:07all of that on the other side of it.
03:14I will take you. Not for my father. For her. And every one of them out there on the ice.
03:20You give your word standing up like an equal on your knees. You will thank the warlord for saving this
03:26keep with your worthless hands.
03:31She kneels to me. Not for you. And not because you put her there.
03:38She is mine now, old man. Remember that the next time you raise your hand to her.
03:41Blackcloth. They call him a monster. Right now he is the only wall between me and a war that eats
03:47children.
03:48And tonight I will not just touch you. I will ruin you. And you will ask me for more.
03:57They say the Blackcloth do not bed their brides. They break them. And his dragons sleep at the foot of
04:01bed and watch.
04:02Enough. She will be presentable. She will be obedient. And she will hold that alliance together.
04:09That is the end of it.
04:13Sleevers. I will have a moment with my bride.
04:15Custom keeps the warlord and the bride apart until the altar.
04:18I do not ask twice. Tonight everyone will say I forced a scared girl into this.
04:23I want them to look at you and see something different. I want them to see you chose me. Not
04:28that your father sold you.
04:35It is too tight.
04:36It is meant to be uncomfortable. Every Blackcloth bride wears one so nobody asks who she belongs to. Only I
04:42take it off.
04:43Wear it to the altar. Let them all see it before you say my name.
05:19You are bleeding.
05:20Frost skin blood. Not mine.
05:22You are bleeding.
05:24Their scout will not report what he saw.
05:27What happens tonight is yours to give. I do not take it.
05:32Do you take each other through war and peace until the end?
05:36Say the words.
05:38Loud enough for the whole North to hear.
05:40By sky and by iron I bind my life to his. Whatever comes for him gets through me first.
05:48Our people do not deserve death. I am doing this for her. For all the innocents in the North. I
05:53am not doing this for him.
05:56Then seal it!
06:01No one has ever kissed you. I can tell. Tonight give me everything but I am taking this right now
06:07and in front of all of them!
06:15I always believed our fathers would give you to me. Then a southern brute rides in and takes you in
06:19an afternoon.
06:20Let go of me!
06:25A sky bound altar makes a wife. The black claw need more than words.
06:30Bring him in!
06:35The proving. He puts her in front of the dragon. Everyone watches to see if it bows or bites. No
06:40one from the North has ever passed it.
06:42It will not bow to a sky girl with no gift in her blood. He is going to get her
06:45killed in front of her own mother.
06:46Do not pull back and do not look away. It smells fear and it smells lies. Show it neither.
06:53You will burn my arm off.
06:55Then we will both find out what you are made of.
07:10The beast knows its queen! Let the North remember it!
07:15The beast knows its queen! Let the North remember it!
07:32Hello, little queen.
07:36Lothra, you should not be in here.
07:38Skybound blood should stay with skybound blood. Our fathers meant you for me and one southern treaty does not unwrite
07:42it. I am only here for what was promised first.
07:45The binding is sealed, Lothra. Lay one finger on me and you are not insulting a girl or insulting the
07:49whole black claw horde. Think hard about what that buys you.
07:52He is drunk in the feast hall with black claw girls in his lap. By the time he remembers he
07:56has a wife, I will already have made you mine.
07:58The warlord is in his cups and you are all alone, girl. One sound out of you and I will
08:03tell them you invited me in.
08:05Rayback!
08:09Where is your frightened little northern bride? She does not even want you. Come remind yourself.
08:16What real women are.
08:18I called for Rayback. I do not even know why. He is not my husband, he is my warden. But
08:23he is the only one I called.
08:25In here, no one will find us.
08:27No! Rayback! Rayback! Help me!
08:37Rayback!
08:38Rayback! Please!
08:39He is not coming for you. You should thank me.
08:43When I take you, I will at least be gentle. Which is more than that animal would ever give you.
08:52You think the warlord cares what becomes of you tonight. He will never love a skybound girl.
08:58He will feed you to his dragon for this.
09:00My father commands the king's own guard. No southern dog can touch me in this keep.
09:05And no one is coming down that corridor for a skybound bride.
09:11You little skybound bitch!
09:28What is mine I keep what touches it I'd burn
09:38You put a hand on what belongs to a warlord
09:43Did you think the dragons would not smell it on you?
09:53You all came to watch a binding watch this instead look at her the north handed me their last real
10:00dragon caller from tonight
10:01She is one of mine. We do not touch our own women like that
10:04We do not go after another man's wife, and we do not lie to the man whose dragons are keeping
10:09your north standing
10:18What are you doing?
10:21He reached for a warlord's wife. He will carry the answer on his face where the whole north can read
10:27it
10:40What is mine I keep the whole north can watch what touching it costs
10:48That dragon keeps looking at me like it knows something I do not and honestly at this point so do
10:53I
10:55So this is where it happens get it over with look at the roost little queen. That is where it
10:59happens not here
11:00A blacklaw wedding is not in a bed. It is sealed in fire
11:05At dawn everyone watches the warlord walk through his own dragon's breath if it is real the dragon holds if
11:11it is not
11:12He burns in front of everyone and she goes free
11:14You are going to walk in dragon fire to prove you own me. I am going to walk into dragon
11:18fire to prove this is real
11:21What you do with that is up to you a whole dying kingdom
11:25And the only thing in it worth burning for is you do not say that you do not get to
11:29say that
11:30You bought me you may own this cluff on my wrist. You will never own the rest of me. I
11:35will not love you
11:39He's going to ravage me now. I don't want to lose it like this
11:46I do not know what came over me. I will take only what you give me tonight
11:50Sleep little queen the dawn you watch what your husband walks into for you
11:56He's sparing my virginity for now
12:13I
12:18Judge me old friend the claim is true
12:21Right back right back now
12:43You walked into it for me you would have burned to ash
12:46The binding is sealed the horde has seen it that is all that happened here now you come to me
12:52to my bed
12:52I will try to be patient
12:55I will not beg but I also will not love
13:11So he actually did it walked into the fire for you
13:17I honestly did not think you would not for some scared little northern girl. I do not know you
13:22Give your name before you speak to me like I am livestock
13:29Drusilla
13:30My father rides at the warlord's right hand the strongest warrior in this horde and before your father sold you
13:35north
13:36I was the one in Ravik's bed
13:38So I know things about him that you do not
13:42You do not know how to keep a warlord little northern bird
13:45I had him before you wore that cuff and I will have him after
13:49Ask anyone in this keep whose furs he slept in last winter
14:14First night here and my wife will not eat
14:17Is this a northern thing or are you actually trying to starve yourself?
14:22Starving myself
14:24Skybound children went hungry all winter so I could eat
14:27I do not waste food
14:31I do not even know what half of this is
14:33You have never put southern meat in your mouth
14:35My father never let his daughters pass the inner wall
14:39We ate what the kitchens cooked and the kitchens cooked north
14:45Open
14:47No wife of mine goes hungry at my own fire
14:54There
14:56The north did not crumble
14:58Your color is up wife
14:59I am warm from the fire
15:00The fire is behind you
15:01I am the one in front
15:18He walked into dragon fire in front of everyone to keep my people safe
15:21Whatever else he is
15:23He did that
15:24I can say thank you for that much
15:25Even if it kills me
15:31We just got married and he is already doing this
15:34I knew it
15:36I knew exactly what he was
15:40Cassia
15:41Stop
15:43Not one more step
15:49Sit
15:50Run from her in tears and by morning the whole keep says the north broke in a week
16:07Blacklaw law does not let a warlord settle a woman's war
16:11This is between the two of you wife
16:14Settle it
16:16Or sit there and watch it settle itself
16:19I warned you the first night little bird
16:22He needed a treaty not a wife
16:25You cannot even hold his eyes
16:27I have held the rest of him for years
16:29Are you truly going to let her do this Ravak?
16:31She is in your seat little queen
16:33And weeping
16:34Has never moved a black claw off anything
16:44Watch northern girl
16:47This is how you hold a man like him
16:50He wants me to break and beg him to stop
16:52I will choke on my own tongue before I give that woman the satisfaction
16:57Well wife
16:58The seat is still yours if you want it
17:16Your beast is as ill-mannered as your bride
17:19Ravek
17:20Call it off and let me finish what I came up to do
17:23Eyes on me Cassia
17:25Watch what you keep handing another woman because you are too proud to take it yourself
17:30Enough games
17:33Let me give him the rest where the little bird can watch and learn her place
17:38Stop
17:40That is enough
17:41The seat is mine and so is the man
17:45Move
17:46You heard the queen
17:48Off
17:49I will say this once
17:50I am Cassia Ravak's wife
17:53Stay away from him or find out what happens to women who do not
17:58He does not want you
18:00Your own father sold you off like a lame mask no other man would take
18:16He keeps you because you tease and never give
18:19The day he tires of your weeping he throws you back over the wall to your dying little kingdom dragon
18:23or no dragon
18:24Say one more word about my people and I will give you a matching mark on the other side
18:29Your people are already dead little bird
18:31They simply have not lain down yet
18:34A dragonless treaty playing at warlord's wife
18:37He will tire of you
18:39And I will still be here
18:41And your north will still be ash under our boots
18:48You raised this hand at a black claw queen
18:50Be glad I only gave it back to you
18:52He hit her for touching me
18:54Not because she was embarrassing him
18:55For touching me
18:56I am still thinking about that
19:06The black claw do not kill women
19:08Be glad
19:10Get out of my keep
19:12And hope I forget your father's name by morning
19:22Come to the war map then
19:24Queen
19:25The whole horde should see where the queen stands
19:28Have you lost your mind?
19:29You let that woman pour at you while I sat caged behind your dragons
19:33And now you call me to your map as if nothing happened on it
19:35Drusilla's father holds my eastern passes so I let her games go on too long
19:39Today you ended them for me in front of the whole horde
19:42They saw their queen show her teeth
19:44I will not pretend I am sorry they did
19:46You needed her father's spears so I paid for them in shame in front of your whole horde
19:50You know nothing of what shame does to a northern woman
19:52I know it could fire where there were only tears
19:54An hour ago you could not hold my eyes
19:56Now you have struck a warrior's daughter and bared your teeth at me on my own terrace
20:01I want you exactly this way in my bed
20:03You are exactly the monster they warned me about when I was little
20:11You want a dead bride?
20:12Say so
20:13A blade is faster than a slow death in this frozen pit as a thing you bought
20:17Cassia put it down
20:19Why?
20:19She was right
20:20You do not care if I live or die here so I will spare us both the rest of it
20:29Look at my side
20:32I walked through dragon fire to take you
20:34A man does not burn for a thing he regrets buying
20:37I walked into that beast fire in front of the whole horde
20:39So your people could sleep knowing the binding was true
20:42You think I burned for your father's alliance?
20:44I burned for you
20:45I burned for you
20:45Give me the knife little queen
20:46I burned for you once
20:47I will walk back into that fire every dawn they ask
20:50Before I let you do that to yourself
21:04Do not touch me
21:06The binding fire is barely cold and you let that woman drape herself across your war terrace
21:11You bar your door to me every night
21:14Tell me what a man owes a wife who bolts her door
21:17I do not want you betting other women
21:19But you will not bet me
21:20I am a warlord little queen
21:22I fight all day
21:23At night I need a woman
21:24If that is not you it will be someone else
21:26Then perhaps I will find some southern boy and let him have me where you can watch
21:29And we will see how the great warlord likes it
21:32I would feed him to my dragons one piece at a time
21:37And put the leash in your hand
21:42Then do it Ravec
21:44Take me now and be done
21:46So I can hate you honestly
21:48Go on
21:49You will not get gentle from me
21:50Gentlemen do not survive the frozen waste
21:53But I swore at the binding fire
21:55That you come to me on your own feet or not at all
21:57And my horde has watched me keep harder oaths than that
21:59Though the horde will sing about your hand at that woman's mouth for a year
22:02Keep the jealousy
22:03I do not want Drusilla
22:05Then why parade her in front of me at all
22:07If you do not want her
22:08I told you I do not do love
22:10But I want you
22:11Only you
22:12More than I know what to do with
22:13I told myself I would never feel anything for him
22:16I came all the way down here telling myself that
22:18I am such a liar
22:21All that fury at Drusilla
22:23And now you are breathing hard with my hands
22:26On you
22:28Tell me to stop then
22:35What happens next is all on Real Short
22:37Tell me to stop it
22:37Mariano
22:37Begard
22:37Let me walk
22:38We
22:38End
22:38Fuck
22:38You
