TVTranscript
00:00:02My husband, Lord Cassian, the kingdom's greatest dragonslayer, and the man I hated most.
00:00:09He hated me just the same.
00:00:11He hated me, hated me for taking him from my sister, and I hated him.
00:00:17Hated that she was all he ever wanted.
00:00:19Before God and these witnesses, exchange your vows.
00:00:29You used your crown to tear me away from Isolid, and so here I stand.
00:00:35Congratulations, your highness. You've won.
00:00:40Cassian!
00:00:42Sorry, stop!
00:00:48From this day, you and I are done.
00:00:57And all of it came down to one woman.
00:00:59The one he truly loved.
00:01:01My sister, Isolette.
00:01:07A year after they sent her to the dragons, she could bear no more.
00:01:12She took her own life.
00:01:18After that, no one doubted whose hand had driven her to it.
00:01:22Mine.
00:01:24Her death gave the dragons their walls.
00:01:28Cassian held the walls for years.
00:01:31And still it wasn't enough.
00:01:44But the day the walls came down, he gave him life from mine.
00:02:03Kassian! Kassian, how bad is it?
00:02:08Run, princess. Go.
00:02:11No. No.
00:02:13For a moment, I believed he'd taken those arrows.
00:02:17Because some part of him still loved his wife.
00:02:21I was wrong.
00:02:22Whatever I owed you in this life, it is paid.
00:02:26If there is another life, let fate put me beside Isolot.
00:02:31Grant me that much, your highness.
00:02:33As for you, your highness, heaven or hell, wherever they send me, I ask one thing.
00:02:38That I never look upon your face again.
00:02:41So that was all it was.
00:02:43He didn't die for me. He died to be rid of me for good.
00:02:48Get the princess out of here!
00:02:50Now!
00:02:53No!
00:02:54No!
00:02:55No!
00:02:56No!
00:03:03Loose.
00:03:12No!
00:03:29No!
00:03:38No!
00:03:39No!
00:03:39No!
00:03:40No!
00:04:03I opened my eyes and I was back the day I knelt and begged my father for Cassian.
00:04:11Seraphina, the dragons are circling this kingdom. A marriage is the only thing that will keep us from ruin.
00:04:16And you would still put a blade to your own throat, only to have Lord Cassian?
00:04:25Father, I will not marry Lord Cassian. I'll marry the Dragon King, myself.
00:04:35Say that again. You would truly marry the Dragon King.
00:04:41In my previous life, Izalith took her own life and the dragons had their reason.
00:04:45Cassian fell, the kingdom fell with him, and thousands who had no part in any of it burned.
00:04:52Perhaps if I go instead, if I can bear, none of it happens again.
00:04:58I was a fool. I put my own heart above every soul in this kingdom.
00:05:02But this time we trade places. Let Izalith have Lord Cassian. And I will go to the dragons. Willingly.
00:05:15You are the heir to this crown. Once the words leave your mouth, there is no calling them back.
00:05:25I will not call them back.
00:05:34Good. My daughter puts the kingdom before herself.
00:05:40Bring the pagement. Change the marriage decree at once.
00:05:47I was the firstborn. I was the heir. And still my father loved her mum. My half-sister.
00:05:56Last time, I put a blade to my throat. That's the only reason he sent Islo. A king can't refuse
00:06:02his heir.
00:06:04My lord, you've only just come off the field. Let them tend those wounds first.
00:06:08Move.
00:06:16Your majesty, I beg you, do not send Princess Illith to the Dragon King.
00:06:21Last time, I ordered my guards to drag him out. And then I made him marry me.
00:06:27Get up. What do you think you are doing?
00:06:33Guards, take Lord Cassian to the healers.
00:06:38Your majesty, do not send Princess Illith to the Dragon King!
00:06:42This time, nothing had changed.
00:06:49Your highness, was there something you wanted?
00:06:59You're still bleeding. You came straight from the field and this is the first thing you do.
00:07:04Beg for Isolet.
00:07:06Isolet has never harmed a living soul.
00:07:09And you would cast her into that pit, hand her to Vyros? He will break her.
00:07:15That is why I must beg the king to break the pact.
00:07:19Lord Cassian, has it ever once crossed your mind?
00:07:24If Isolet does not go, then I do.
00:07:30Every princess deserves to be free.
00:07:32This pact, it is what cowards do.
00:07:35We can refuse it.
00:07:37And when that brings every last dragon down upon us, will you hold them back, Lord Cassian?
00:07:44Then, I die on the field.
00:07:49And the innocents who burn with you?
00:07:51What becomes of them?
00:07:56Whatever the case, so long as your highness stays out of the king's ear, he will choose rightly.
00:08:04That was the whole of it.
00:08:05So long as it wasn't his Isolde, nothing else counted.
00:08:09This time, you'll have exactly what you want.
00:08:16Then I hope you get everything you want, Lord Cassian.
00:08:20You...
00:08:21What are you scheming now?
00:08:24Nothing at all.
00:08:26When that decree was read out, and he learnt the bride was Isolet, not me, he'd be the happiest man
00:08:31alive.
00:08:32Oh, it's done! Wait!
00:08:34From this day, you and I are done.
00:08:37In my previous life, I tried everything to keep him.
00:08:41He gave him his life, but his heart had been Isolo's all along.
00:08:45As for you, your highness, heaven or hell, wherever they send me, I ask one thing.
00:08:51That I never look upon your face again.
00:08:54Cassian, once, you died for me.
00:08:58So this time, you shall have what you truly wanted.
00:09:03She walked away without a backward glance.
00:09:06The old Seraphina would have clung to my arm and wept for the whole court.
00:09:12Unless...
00:09:12This is some new game.
00:09:14Turn her back and make me the one who follows.
00:09:18Virus.
00:09:19The Dragon King.
00:09:21The cruelest ruler alive.
00:09:23Or so the world said.
00:09:25They said he had a thirst for blood.
00:09:27That he had never once showed mercy.
00:09:30Decades ago, out of nowhere, he declared war on our kingdom.
00:09:37Last time, my father tried to buy peace for the marriage.
00:09:41To see its death when he handed him the excuse to burn it all.
00:09:45A lord out of hell, whose name alone carried the smell of blood.
00:09:53Could I truly buy peace between our two peoples?
00:09:57With nothing but myself?
00:10:15What do you think you are doing?
00:10:20What am I doing?
00:10:21The whole palace is speaking of it.
00:10:24You are sending Isolet to the Dragon King!
00:10:28Seraphina.
00:10:29Is there any cruelty you will not stoop to?
00:10:33So, he didn't know yet.
00:10:36The name on that decree was no longer hers.
00:10:38It was mine.
00:10:42Say something!
00:10:47You forced the king's hand.
00:10:49You are sending your own sister into that hell.
00:10:52What kind of woman does that?
00:11:06God above, my lord, stop!
00:11:08That is the crown princess!
00:11:14One more word and I'll cut you down.
00:11:25You think a decree and an altar will make me yours?
00:11:29You'll have the body standing beside you.
00:11:32Nothing more.
00:11:35Whatever lives in here,
00:11:37you will never touch it.
00:11:46She... she struck me.
00:11:48She actually struck me.
00:11:50Lord Cassian, remember your place.
00:11:52I'm the crown princess.
00:11:55One word from me,
00:11:56and you hang for treason.
00:12:00Dragonslayer or not.
00:12:06Forgive me, your highness.
00:12:08I had too much wine.
00:12:12The marriage is no longer your concern, my lord.
00:12:15It ends exactly as you would have it.
00:12:25As long as you're breathing,
00:12:28Isolid will never know a day's peace.
00:12:30Cassian,
00:12:31not once,
00:12:33not in all that time,
00:12:34did you ask what becomes of me.
00:12:37Rest easy.
00:12:39The decree comes soon enough.
00:12:41In my previous life,
00:12:43you'd have died before you let her go.
00:12:45This time,
00:12:46I will not chase you again.
00:12:49Not once.
00:12:55Your highness.
00:12:56Lord Cassian's men brought this.
00:12:58The mark of healing.
00:13:05The mark of healing.
00:13:07Almost none left in the world.
00:13:09It closes even dragonfire walls.
00:13:12Even a slayer holds only a few.
00:13:15But I knew why he sent it.
00:13:17My mother raised him.
00:13:19He was paying her back.
00:13:20That was all it ever was.
00:13:23And I held on to that.
00:13:25For an entire lifetime.
00:13:28Like a fool.
00:13:31I don't need it.
00:13:32Send it back.
00:13:36Yes, your highness.
00:13:38Her highness.
00:13:39She's not the same woman.
00:13:41Once, the smallest thing from Lord Cassian
00:13:43kept her smiling for days.
00:13:51Yes, your highness.
00:13:52You sent for me.
00:13:53What could you possibly want?
00:13:56The marriage decree has come.
00:13:59I knew it.
00:14:01You truly mean to cast me into that black pit with them,
00:14:03you wicked, spiteful woman.
00:14:05You are to marry Lord Cassian.
00:14:10You are to marry Lord Cassian.
00:14:13Don't take me for a fool.
00:14:15Everyone knows one of us must go to the Dragon King.
00:14:17Yes.
00:14:18And it is me.
00:14:22What are you scheming?
00:14:24The whole kingdom knows what you feel for Lord Cassian.
00:14:27And now you hand him to me and take my place in that dragon's hell?
00:14:31What is it you want out of this?
00:14:33Nothing.
00:14:34I want one thing from you, that is all.
00:14:36And that is,
00:14:38the day you wed Lord Cassian is the day I ride for the dragons.
00:14:42Until then,
00:14:43he hears nothing of this.
00:14:44Not a word.
00:14:46Do your part,
00:14:47and I swear on my crown.
00:14:49He's yours.
00:14:50She swore it,
00:14:51on the crown itself.
00:14:53Has she lost her wits?
00:14:54Does she think that place is a paradise?
00:14:57Very well.
00:14:58We are agreed.
00:15:00That was my gift to Cassian for the life he threw away on me.
00:15:04From then on,
00:15:05we owed each other nothing.
00:15:08Cassian knew none of it.
00:15:10He thought he was losing Iselith to the dragons,
00:15:12so he never left her side.
00:15:27That ocarilla.
00:15:29My mother taught him to play it,
00:15:31back when she was still alive.
00:15:34She's the distance of the bridge.
00:15:35It began because that sound,
00:15:38was the only thing that could stop my crying.
00:15:42Cassian saw it.
00:15:43He went to her himself,
00:15:45and asked her to teach him.
00:15:47Your majesty,
00:15:48would you teach me to play it?
00:15:50Then, when Serafina is sad,
00:15:52I could comfort her too.
00:15:53Of course.
00:15:54I'll teach you Serafina's favorite.
00:16:03Then my mother died.
00:16:06And he was the only one left who would play it for me.
00:16:10Serafina.
00:16:11From this day,
00:16:13I will play this for no one but you.
00:16:15And I will never let anything make you cry again.
00:16:23Serafina.
00:16:25Cassian, you play so beautifully.
00:16:28Tell me,
00:16:29have you played it for many others?
00:16:33Never.
00:16:34This song means too much to me.
00:16:36I play it only,
00:16:37for the one who matters most.
00:16:39From this day,
00:16:40I will play this for no one but you.
00:16:50What are you doing here?
00:16:53Leaving so soon,
00:16:54Serafina.
00:16:55Or is it,
00:16:56that you cannot bear to watch us?
00:16:58Pay her no mind.
00:17:00She is a cold woman.
00:17:01Cassian,
00:17:02you cannot stand the sight of me.
00:17:04Then rest easy.
00:17:06Seven days.
00:17:07Then I'm gone.
00:17:09And you'll never see me again.
00:17:11Why is she walking away like that?
00:17:13Where's the crying?
00:17:14The begging?
00:17:16Why do I care?
00:17:19Your highness,
00:17:21Lord Cassian is waiting in the courtyard.
00:17:24He says he has the day free.
00:17:26And he'll drill you with the sword himself.
00:17:29Another apology after the fact.
00:17:32Tell him there's no need.
00:17:34Wait.
00:17:35She said no.
00:17:36She used to beg him for those lessons.
00:17:38Every day of her life.
00:17:41As you wish.
00:17:44The truth was,
00:17:46there was no sound I hated more than steel on steel.
00:17:49I'd seen too many men die on a blade.
00:17:53I only said I loved the sword because he was proud of it.
00:17:56And now,
00:17:58I no longer had to lie to myself.
00:18:02Still at her mirror?
00:18:03Still at her mirror?
00:18:04How much longer must I wait?
00:18:06I've told her she can dress however she likes.
00:18:08It means nothing to me.
00:18:12My lord.
00:18:13You should go.
00:18:15Her highness has no wish to train today.
00:18:17What?
00:18:18You're making sport of me.
00:18:20Those were her highness's own words, my lord.
00:18:23Please.
00:18:24Go.
00:18:24Go.
00:18:27What is she playing at?
00:18:29So I played for Isla.
00:18:31Today I rode all this way to her courtyard.
00:18:33What more does she want?
00:18:35Is this some new game?
00:18:37Does she want me to chase her?
00:18:41Seven days,
00:18:42and Princess Isaret rides for the dragons.
00:18:45And the crowned princess?
00:18:48Ah, heir to this throne,
00:18:49and she'll carry none of the weight of it.
00:18:52All she thinks of is having Lord Cassia.
00:18:57Please, don't.
00:18:58I'm a princess of this kingdom.
00:19:01If one life of mine buys peace between two realms,
00:19:04well, that's hardly worth speaking of.
00:19:07Ah, there's a noble heart.
00:19:09If it were left to me,
00:19:11the crown would have been hers from the start.
00:19:26The crown is not yours to hand out.
00:19:33We beg your pardon, your highness.
00:19:37We spoke out of turn.
00:19:39Get out of my sight.
00:19:49Serafina!
00:19:53Why trouble yourself with them, Serafina?
00:19:56I know you're going to the dragons in my place.
00:20:01But that honor was mine.
00:20:02You took it from me.
00:20:05So surely you won't burge me what's left of it.
00:20:09Your honor.
00:20:11You truly believe one girl sent to the dragons would have stopped this war?
00:20:17If you went, you would only die there.
00:20:20You wouldn't be able to do anything.
00:20:23You.
00:20:31My lord, help me!
00:20:33Serafina means to kill me!
00:20:34No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:39Ruth,개�арт!
00:20:41mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, Volunte.
00:21:03The Crown Princess is in the water.
00:21:05Somebody get her out!
00:21:11Seraphina, you'd kill your own sister.
00:21:14You're not the one being sent to the dragons.
00:21:16What more do you want from her?
00:21:24Cassian.
00:21:26It wasn't me.
00:21:28Be silent!
00:21:29I've heard enough lying out of you!
00:21:31All these years, and I never saw it.
00:21:35That face, and something this rotten behind it.
00:21:38She's your own blood!
00:21:39You don't deserve that crown.
00:21:41You failed every single person in this kingdom.
00:21:46Your mother's lucky she died.
00:21:48Before she saw what you became.
00:21:53Cassian!
00:22:04This blade is the highest honor a knight can carry.
00:22:07From this day, it is yours.
00:22:13I swear upon my name.
00:22:15I will wield this blade to protect Seraphina for as long as I draw breath.
00:22:21My mother put that sword in your hands to keep me safe.
00:22:27And you're pointing it at me.
00:22:33You!
00:22:42Seraphina, are you hurt?
00:22:44Say what you like about me.
00:22:46But you don't...
00:22:48You don't speak of my mother.
00:22:51Seraphina.
00:22:52Seraphina!
00:22:53Someone!
00:22:54The healer!
00:22:55Fetch the healer now!
00:22:57Seraphina.
00:22:58You're bound for the dragons.
00:23:00And still you'd steal Castler's heart from me.
00:23:09It's a fine day.
00:23:11Come out to the gardens with me.
00:23:13Sit in the sun a while.
00:23:13You'll mend quicker for it.
00:23:17Once.
00:23:18The moment I so much as touched him,
00:23:20he'd shake me off without a word.
00:23:23Cassian!
00:23:26You're a princess.
00:23:27I'm a knight.
00:23:29Keep your distance.
00:23:34I'm a princess.
00:23:36You're a knight.
00:23:37Keep your distance.
00:23:41Yesterday.
00:23:42I was too quick to anger.
00:23:44Call it my fault then.
00:23:45I'm sorry.
00:23:49I don't want your apology.
00:23:51Not now.
00:23:52Not ever again.
00:23:57Does she mean it?
00:23:58No.
00:24:00No, she's only angry.
00:24:01She could never let me go.
00:24:03Not her.
00:24:06Cassius.
00:24:07In just three days,
00:24:08I'll leave for the dragon realm.
00:24:10Then you'll finally be free
00:24:11to marry the woman you truly love
00:24:13and have the happiness
00:24:14you've always wanted.
00:24:15A life where you'll never
00:24:17have to see me again.
00:24:24Where's the box my mother left me?
00:24:28Her ocarina was inside.
00:24:29The one thing she treasured
00:24:31above everything.
00:24:34It was...
00:24:34It was right here,
00:24:36just moments ago.
00:24:41Don't tell me.
00:24:43It's her.
00:24:49Isolet!
00:24:50What do you think you're doing?
00:24:54Seraphina,
00:24:55I've never seen an Okada
00:24:56so lovely.
00:24:58I only wanted to hold it a while,
00:24:59that's all.
00:25:01Must you look at me like that?
00:25:03You're frightening me.
00:25:07That was my mother's.
00:25:08Give it back to me.
00:25:10Now.
00:25:12Why, of course.
00:25:17You!
00:25:23It's a flute, Seraphina.
00:25:25You'd whip your own sister
00:25:27over a flute.
00:25:28You know what that was.
00:25:30It was my mother's.
00:25:32And she broke it on purpose.
00:25:38I never meant to.
00:25:40Seraphina frightened me so.
00:25:42It just...
00:25:42It slipped right out of my hands.
00:25:49I know what it meant to you.
00:25:50But it's only broken in two.
00:25:53I can mend it.
00:25:54With dragon crystal.
00:25:56With my own hands.
00:26:00And who do you think you are?
00:26:02You don't have the right.
00:26:04Seraphina.
00:26:06Please.
00:26:07Don't be so cruel.
00:26:31The sword that was meant to protect me
00:26:33is the one that cut me.
00:26:42Seraphina.
00:26:43Why didn't you move?
00:26:45You always...
00:26:46You were always fast enough before.
00:26:51Seraphina.
00:26:52Seraphina!
00:26:56Stop!
00:27:01What was that?
00:27:03Just now.
00:27:04Some trick of the mind?
00:27:13From that day on,
00:27:15Cassian kept vigil outside my door.
00:27:17Three days.
00:27:19Three nights.
00:27:25And right up to the night
00:27:26before I rode for the dragons.
00:27:28I never let him in.
00:27:32Seraphina.
00:27:35I'll marry you.
00:27:37A night's honor.
00:27:38I mean it.
00:27:41I'll spend my whole life
00:27:42making that wound right.
00:28:15He still doesn't know.
00:28:18Tomorrow,
00:28:19I disappear.
00:28:21And the bride waiting at his altar
00:28:23won't be me.
00:28:30The day I rode for the dragons
00:28:32was the same day
00:28:33Cassian married my sister.
00:28:38By then,
00:28:40he'd have opened
00:28:41the little surprise I left him.
00:28:47The day I rode for theÇ
00:29:19Cassian, what was he doing out here?
00:29:22Isolet, let me see you off one last time, please.
00:29:28So that was it.
00:29:30He thought Isolet was behind that curtain.
00:29:34That was the only reason he came.
00:29:43Is that it?
00:29:45You're angry I'm to marry Serafina, and so you won't speak to me.
00:29:51But I have no choice in it.
00:29:53There's a debt I owe her, and I mean to pay it.
00:29:58Forgive me.
00:30:01In the end, I couldn't keep them from sending you to the dragons.
00:30:07But, if you truly don't want this...
00:30:12Say the word.
00:30:14And I'll cut down every last one of them, and take you somewhere no one will ever find you.
00:30:21Whatever I owed you in this life, it is paid.
00:30:24If there is another life, let fate put me beside Isolet.
00:30:28As for you, your highness, heaven or hell, wherever they send me, I ask one thing, that I never look
00:30:34upon your face again.
00:30:59Isolet!
00:31:01Isolet!
00:31:27Of course she hates me.
00:31:30How could she not.
00:31:32Isolet.
00:31:33Isolet.
00:31:33Isolet.
00:31:37If I'd only fought harder
00:31:40Perhaps she'd never have been sent away at all
00:31:44But
00:31:45But what else was I to do?
00:31:47A knight's honour
00:31:49I mean it
00:31:51I'll spend my whole life making that wound right
00:32:07In this life
00:32:09I'd never reach the end of the road beside the woman I love
00:32:35Lord Cassian
00:32:37Isolid
00:32:38It can't be you
00:32:40It's me of course
00:32:42What is it my lord? Aren't you pleased?
00:32:46This is no jest
00:32:47Why are you the bride?
00:32:51I don't know
00:32:52I swear I don't
00:32:54The decree that came to me
00:32:55It said Serafina would go to the dragons in my place
00:33:00Say that again
00:33:01The one going to the dragons
00:33:03Is Serafina
00:33:06Then the woman in that carriage
00:33:09The one I begged to stay
00:33:13Was her
00:33:14But
00:33:16If you truly don't want this
00:33:20Say the word
00:33:22And I'll cut down every last one of them
00:33:25And take you somewhere no one will ever find you
00:33:30It was her
00:33:31It was Serafina
00:33:32It was Serafina all along
00:33:35Lord Cassian
00:33:37Where are you going?
00:33:39Cassian?
00:33:40Cassian!
00:33:42Cassian!
00:33:49Wait for me, Serafina!
00:33:51Serafina!
00:34:02Serafina!
00:34:06Serafina!
00:34:21Virus. The Dragon King. He'd hated our kingdom from the day he rose. And no one alive knew why.
00:34:32There's a reason he hates us this much. Find it. And perhaps I end this war before it begins.
00:34:50Our King!
00:35:03I'd expected the Dragon King to be some fanged thing out of a nightmare. I hadn't expected this. A man
00:35:09so young, so terribly beautiful.
00:35:18You dare look me in the eye?
00:35:21I am to be your bride. Since when is it a sin for a wife to look upon her own
00:35:26husband?
00:35:34A human. Calling me husband. How bold. Perhaps I'll simply put you in the ground. Here and now.
00:35:44You won't. Kill me now, and you throw away the very excuse you need to march on my kingdom. Dragon
00:35:51King or not, even you fear what happens when every human realm rises against you at once.
00:35:58I'd wager your plan is to break me. To torment me until I put an end to myself and hand
00:36:02you your predex for war. Have I got it wrong?
00:36:08And if you have, what of it?
00:36:20Throw her in the condemned cells.
00:36:38I would endure this, whatever it took. I couldn't just sit and wait to die. But this cage, how was
00:36:45I to break it open?
00:36:46When you can't stomach it any longer, you're welcome to end it yourself. Leave a note while you're at it.
00:36:52I hated the dragons, couldn't take it, something like that. Saves us the trouble of faking one.
00:36:57I'm not dying here.
00:36:59Not you? We'll see how long that holds.
00:37:08No, please. I'm nothing. I only guard the cells.
00:37:11Give me the keys, or I end you where you stand.
00:37:19Now!
00:37:20All right. All right. All right.
00:37:58My king, it worked. The human princess, she's fled.
00:38:04Good. The moment she's passed our borders, cut her down where she stands. A betrothed princess who fled in shame.
00:38:10And there it is. Every reason I need to march on them in full force.
00:38:14As you command.
00:38:19I'd wager your plan is to break me. To torment me until I put an end to myself and hand
00:38:23you your predex for war.
00:38:25A brave woman. A beautiful one, too. A pity. But I will have my vengeance. And she is nothing in
00:38:33it. One small sacrifice, no more. Make it quick, at least.
00:38:38Yes, my king.
00:38:45My king. Something's happened. The princess never fled. She's coming here. Straight for your palace.
00:38:56She's... what?
00:39:23Dragon king! I come as a princess of the human realm, and I ask to treat with you. Once, our
00:39:30peoples lived in peace. Then you came. I don't know what blood lies between you and my kingdom. But I
00:39:39want to understand it and to know whether any of it can still be put to rest.
00:39:43I know I'm just one person. One voice. But I am done watching this world bleed. Yours and mine.
00:39:53So let me try. Let me fight for it. Even if. If it cost me my life.
00:40:02Insolence. That she'd speak to the king like that. Let me drag her back to the condemned cells and break
00:40:07her!
00:40:10How easily you offer up your life. In my experience, words like that are nothing but theatre.
00:40:17You want to treat with me? Then show me what your resolve is worth.
00:40:22Climb the stair of penance. All of it.
00:40:27Climb the stairs.
00:40:27Reach the doors of my palace and I'll hear your terms. Provided, of course, you can survive the Black Lash.
00:40:38I can. I can do this.
00:40:41I can. I can do this.
00:40:53Thought. Nothing but theatre.
00:41:12My king! She's up! She's on her feet again.
00:41:16I can. I can. I can. I can. I can. I can.
00:41:34Don't fall.
00:41:53Gods above. What kind of will is that?
00:41:56She's only human.
00:41:59That lash. Even I couldn't take more than a few of those.
00:42:14Yeah!
00:42:22Oh my God!
00:42:25You shot.
00:42:25You shoot.
00:42:28Tell me, my God.
00:42:30Okay, come on over.
00:42:32Podcast control.
00:42:32Ihr ведь if you are!
00:42:38Talk. Did you see the dragon or not?
00:42:44You have any idea what that thing's worth?
00:42:51I... I never saw anything.
00:43:03No, stay hidden. Don't you dare waste this.
00:43:12Why? Why does she feel so much like her? The girl who saved me?
00:43:21No, it can't be. That girl, she died years ago.
00:43:28Almost there.
00:43:41Interesting woman.
00:43:54I... will not fall.
00:43:57No.
00:44:04Sir, not every human is worth despising after all.
00:44:13What... what are you doing?
00:44:15You're in my palace. I may do whatever I please with you.
00:44:40What do you think you're doing?
00:44:42Oh, so even you know how to be afraid.
00:44:46You've called yourself my wife often enough.
00:44:49And if you're my wife...
00:44:51What is it I'm not permitted to do?
00:44:55No. You will not.
00:45:01Put me down!
00:45:15Why... why would you heal me?
00:45:22Why... why would you heal me?
00:45:29I simply have no wish to see my palace stained with anything so filthy as blood.
00:45:35That is all.
00:45:37Wait, I... I still want to talk.
00:45:40Tomorrow. You'll have your answer then.
00:45:45The Dragon King.
00:45:47What a strange man he was.
00:45:50But still...
00:45:52It was something.
00:45:54At last, a way in.
00:46:02Are you finished? Come. Walk with me.
00:46:06Where are we going?
00:46:10You ask too many questions.
00:46:18This place... what is it?
00:46:24Every dragon buried here was hunted down and butchered by your kind.
00:46:29My kin lie here.
00:46:30My own blood.
00:46:32And countless others who never harmed a soul cut down all the same.
00:46:36You humans want the dragon crystal.
00:46:38The bone.
00:46:40The blood.
00:46:41The heart.
00:46:42And for that...
00:46:43For scraps.
00:46:46You take up your blades and treat our lives as though they were worth nothing.
00:46:51Dragon hunters.
00:46:53Slaughtering for crystal and blood.
00:46:57So that was it.
00:46:59That was where all of it came from.
00:47:04You're right.
00:47:05There are men among us who are greedy and cruel.
00:47:09Your kin died for their greed and you have every right to hate us for it.
00:47:16But let me ask you something.
00:47:19Decades ago, our two peoples lived side by side.
00:47:22Who struck the first blow?
00:47:24All of humankind?
00:47:26Or a handful of men, blinded by greed?
00:47:30If the sins of a few must be paid in the blood of thousands, generation after generation,
00:47:36then tell me, where does it end?
00:47:43Why?
00:47:44Why is she nothing like the humans I know?
00:47:49Pretty words.
00:47:51Nothing more.
00:47:53There are good people among us, too.
00:47:55Surely you know that.
00:47:57Perhaps.
00:47:58There were, perhaps.
00:48:00Once.
00:48:01Not anymore.
00:48:07An unmarked grave.
00:48:09Who lies here?
00:48:11She was human.
00:48:14And the only angel I ever found among your kind.
00:48:37Looks like she's gone.
00:48:39Find somewhere and get rid of it.
00:48:41I don't want loose ends.
00:48:43Don't move.
00:48:45Don't make a sound.
00:48:47I have to live.
00:48:49Live first.
00:48:51Then I can avenge her.
00:48:53When I'm strong enough,
00:48:55I'll burn that kingdom to the ground.
00:48:58For her.
00:48:59And for my own.
00:49:05Come.
00:49:07I brought you here for one reason.
00:49:09To tell you there will be no terms.
00:49:12Unless you were alive again.
00:49:15Nothing in this world could stay my hand from your kingdom.
00:49:24And yet,
00:49:27I have changed my mind.
00:49:43What is it?
00:49:44It's nothing.
00:49:46Only,
00:49:47the sunset is beautiful tonight.
00:49:49The sunset?
00:49:51What is there to look at?
00:49:55It just caught me, that's all.
00:49:57Back home,
00:49:58Lord Cassian used to take me out to watch the sun go down.
00:50:01And now,
00:50:03here I am among strangers.
00:50:04And I don't know if I'll ever see home again.
00:50:07Cassian.
00:50:08That would be the human general with the passable sword arm.
00:50:11I don't know if I'll ever see home again.
00:50:16You.
00:50:18You're fond of him.
00:50:20No.
00:50:21My mother raised him.
00:50:28Take my hand.
00:50:33Why?
00:50:35Because I'm about to ruin every sunset that came before me.
00:50:43No!
00:50:44No!
00:50:45No!
00:50:49No!
00:50:50We'll keep to fight.
00:50:52No!
00:50:52No!
00:50:53No!
00:50:54No!
00:50:54No!
00:50:55No!
00:50:55No!
00:50:55No!
00:50:56No!
00:50:56No!
00:50:57No!
00:50:57No!
00:50:58No!
00:50:58No!
00:50:58No!
00:50:59No!
00:50:59No!
00:51:01No!
00:51:02No!
00:51:19Gods above.
00:51:21The king's let a human ride on his back.
00:51:54I take it back every sunset before this one worthless every last one nothing.
00:52:01Thank you, Varos.
00:52:06It was nothing.
00:52:10What am I doing?
00:52:12He hates humans more than anything.
00:52:13I mustn't.
00:52:14I can't allow this.
00:52:16Come.
00:52:18Come.
00:52:18We should go back.
00:52:19He hates humans more than anything.
00:52:51Oh.
00:52:52What is she doing here?
00:52:53The human princess came of her own will, my king.
00:52:56She says she knows something of healing and that a wounded man is a wounded man.
00:53:00Whatever blood he carries.

01:00:58every soul inside these walls is mine to protect
01:01:01i won't stand by while seraphina gives up her whole life to that pact
01:01:06until i've brought her home safe
01:01:08i have no right to marry you
01:01:11why she goes to the dragons you and i are finally together isn't that perfect for everyone
01:01:16why why would you do this to me
01:01:20that
01:01:20bitch why won't she just die
01:01:26what what's come over you this isn't the isolna i know sweet gentle kind to everyone
01:01:35you told me yourself you've never raised your voice to a living soul
01:01:38and now you call your own sister that
01:01:43no
01:01:44that that wasn't me that wasn't me just now
01:01:48cassia i was only i lost my head for a moment
01:01:53i'm still your gentle isolette the one you've always known
01:02:06what is this commander this maid stole from the royal treasury
01:02:11the law says she hangs to save her own neck she's been talking
01:02:16and one of the things she's told us go on why have you stopped
01:02:25i command you speak now or i end your life where you kneel
01:02:30i'll tell you i'll tell you everything
01:02:34that day at the cliff i saw it with my own eyes
01:02:38princess isolette pulled princess seraphina over the edge with her
01:02:41on purpose
01:02:46she what
01:02:51it's a lie she's she's making it all up
01:02:56if a single word from your mouth is false
01:03:00you die this instant
01:03:02your blades at my throat my lord how could i dare lie
01:03:07i beg you spare me every word of it is true
01:03:22isolette is what she says the truth
01:03:29yes and what of it
01:03:33i was the one meant to go to the dragons she took the glory that was mine
01:03:38and now she's taking you as well so i taught her a lesson
01:03:44was that not my right and that's not the half of it
01:03:49her mother's precious little flute i broke it on purpose
01:03:53i hate everything about her and i hate that wretched grooving little song
01:03:59isolette
01:04:02so this is who you truly are
01:04:13me and what kind of man are you
01:04:17you were the one who despised seraphina
01:04:20you were the one who abandoned me at the altar
01:04:23what right do you have to judge me
01:04:28cassian has it never occurred to you what a hypocrite you are
01:04:33or is it
01:04:36that you want us both the two of us
01:04:41don't don't be absurd
01:04:44you know
01:04:47in your own heart you know
01:04:56could it be
01:04:57could it be as she said that the one i've wanted all along was seraphina no matter what
01:05:03this time
01:05:05i will bring seraphina home
01:05:07i swear it
01:05:15cassian will take you with him when he rides for the dragon lands
01:05:18you need only do exactly as i say
01:05:21varus had been kind to me and for no reason i could see he'd stop the raids on our borders
01:05:26himself
01:05:26if it could just stay like this that would be enough
01:05:30my king your highness humans at the gates is that night of theirs
01:05:34cassia what does he want here he claims he comes under orders
01:05:39to pay a call on the eldest human princess cassia what could he possibly want this time
