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.
00:00:12He hated me, hated me for taking him from my sister.
00:00:15And I hated him, hated 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.
00:01:08A year after they sent her to the dragons, she could bear no more.
00:01:12She took her own life.
00:01:19After that, no one doubted whose hand had driven her to it.
00:01:22Mine.
00:01:24Mine.
00:01:25Her 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,
00:01:46he gave his life from mine.
00:02:03Cassian, Cassian, Cassian, 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,
00:02:24it is paid.
00:02:26If there is another life,
00:02:28let fate put me beside Isolid.
00:02:31Grant me that much, your highness.
00:02:32As for you, your highness,
00:02:35heaven or hell, wherever they send me,
00:02:36I ask one thing.
00:02:39That I never look upon your face again.
00:02:42So that was all it was.
00:02:43He didn't die for me.
00:02:45He 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!
00:02:57No!
00:02:57No!
00:02:58No!
00:02:58No!
00:02:58No!
00:02:58No!
00:02:59No!
00:02:59No!
00:03:00No!
00:03:00No!
00:03:01No!
00:03:11No!
00:03:13No!
00:03:15No!
00:03:15No!
00:03:26And I was a princess across kingdoms.
00:03:29So if it burned,
00:03:30I would burn with it.
00:03:33God.
00:03:34If I could have it all again.
00:03:37Cassian.
00:03:38This time.
00:04:03I opened my eyes.
00:04:05And I was back.
00:04:06The day I knelt and begged my father for Cassian.
00:04:10Seraphina.
00:04:11The dragons are circling this kingdom.
00:04:13A marriage is the only thing that will keep us from ruin.
00:04:16And you would still put a blade to your own throat.
00:04:19Only to have Lord Cassian?
00:04:24Father.
00:04:25I will not marry Lord Cassian.
00:04:28I will marry the dragon king.
00:04:31Myself.
00:04:36Say that again.
00:04:37You would truly marry the dragon king.
00:04:41In my previous life, Isalith took her own life.
00:04:44And the dragons had their reason.
00:04:45Cassian fell.
00:04:47The kingdom fell with him.
00:04:48And thousands who had no part in any of it burned.
00:04:52Perhaps if I go instead.
00:04:53If I can bear.
00:04:55None of it happens again.
00:04:58I was a fool.
00:04:59I put my own heart above every soul in this kingdom.
00:05:02But this time we trade places.
00:05:04Let Isalith have Lord Cassian.
00:05:07And I will go to the dragons.
00:05:09Willingly.
00:05:15You are the heir to this crown.
00:05:18Once the words leave your mouth, there is no calling them back.
00:05:25I will not call them back.
00:05:34Good.
00:05:35My daughter puts the kingdom before herself.
00:05:39Bring the pagement.
00:05:41Change the marriage decree.
00:05:43At once.
00:05:47I was the firstborn.
00:05:49I was the heir.
00:05:50And still my father loved her more.
00:05:52My half-sister.
00:05:56Last time, I put a blade to my throat.
00:05:59That's the only reason he sent Islo.
00:06:01A king can't refuse his heir.
00:06:04My lord, you've only just come off the field.
00:06:07Let them tend those wounds first.
00:06:08Move.
00:06:09Move.
00:06:09Move.
00:06:09Move.
00:06:14Move.
00:06:15Move.
00:06:16Your majesty.
00:06:17I beg you.
00:06:18Do not send Princess Illith to the Dragon King.
00:06:21Last time, I ordered my guards to drag him out.
00:06:25And then I made him marry me.
00:06:27Get up.
00:06:28What do you think you are doing?
00:06:33Guards, take Lord Cassian to the healers.
00:06:38Your majesty!
00:06:39Do not send Princess Illith to the Dragon King!
00:06:42This time, nothing had changed.
00:06:50Your highness, was there something you wanted?
00:06:59You're still bleeding.
00:07:00You 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?
00:07:11Hand her to Vyros?
00:07:13He will break her.
00:07:15That is why I must beg the King to break the Pact.
00:07:19Lord Cassian,
00:07:21has it ever once crossed your mind?
00:07:24If Isolet does not go,
00:07:26then I do.
00:07:30Every princess deserves to be free.
00:07:32This pact,
00:07:33it is what cowards do.
00:07:35We can refuse it.
00:07:37And when that brings every last dragon down upon us,
00:07:40will you hold them back, Lord Cassian?
00:07:44Then,
00:07:45I die on the field.
00:07:49And the innocents who burn with you,
00:07:51what becomes of them?
00:07:56Whatever the case,
00:07:58so long as your highness stays out of the King's ear,
00:08:00he 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,
00:08:10you'll have exactly what you want.
00:08:16Then I hope you get everything you want, Lord Cassian.
00:08:21What are you scheming now?
00:08:24Nothing at all.
00:08:26When that decree was read out,
00:08:27and he learnt the bride was Isolet, not me,
00:08:30he'd be the happiest man alive.
00:08:32Stop it!
00:08:34From this day,
00:08:36you and I are done.
00:08:38In my previous life,
00:08:39I tried everything to keep him.
00:08:41He gave him his life,
00:08:43but his heart had been Isolo's all along.
00:08:45As for you, your highness,
00:08:47heaven or hell,
00:08:48wherever they send me,
00:08:49I ask one thing,
00:08:51that I never look upon your face again.
00:08:54Cassian,
00:08:55once,
00:08:56you died for me.
00:08:58So this time,
00:09:00you 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
00:09:09and wept for the whole court.
00:09:12Unless,
00:09:13this is some new game.
00:09:15Turn her back,
00:09:15and make me the one who follows.
00:09:18Virus,
00:09:19the dragon king,
00:09:21the cruelest ruler alive.
00:09:23So the world said.
00:09:24They said he had a thirst for blood,
00:09:27that he had never once showed mercy.
00:09:30Decades ago,
00:09:32out of nowhere,
00:09:33he declared war on our kingdom.
00:09:34I have no doubt.
00:09:37Last time,
00:09:38my father tried to buy peace for the marriage.
00:09:41He said it's death,
00:09:42and he handed him the excuse to burn it all.
00:09:45A lord out of hell,
00:09:47whose 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,
00:10:34he 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 will 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 struck me.
00:11:48She actually struck me.
00:11:49Lord Cassian,
00:11:51remember your place.
00:11:53I'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.
00:12:38Rest easy.
00:12:39The decree comes soon enough.
00:12:41In my previous life,
00:12:42you'd have died before you let her go.
00:12:45This time,
00:12:47I 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.
00:14:37And that is, the day you wed Lord Cassian is the day I ride for the dragons.
00:14:42Until then, he hears nothing of this.
00:14:45Not a word.
00:14:46Do your part, and I swear on my crown.
00:14:49He's yours.
00:14:50She swore it, on the crown itself.
00:14:53Has she lost her wits?
00:14:54Does she think that place is a paradise?
00:14:57Very well.
00:14:59We are agreed.
00:15:00That was my gift to Cassian for the life he threw away on me.
00:15:04From then on, we owed each other nothing.
00:15:08Cassian knew none of it.
00:15:10He thought he was losing Iselith to the dragons, so he never left her side.
00:15:27That ocarilla, my mother taught him to play it, back when she was still alive.
00:15:35It began because that sound was the only thing that could stop my crying.
00:15:42Cassian saw it.
00:15:43He went to her himself, and asked her to teach him.
00:15:47Your Majesty, would you teach me to play it?
00:15:50Then, when Serafina is sad, I could comfort her too.
00:15:53Of course.
00:15:54I'll teach you Serafina's favourite.
00:16:03Then my mother died, and he was the only one left who would play it for me.
00:16:11Serafina, from this day, I will play this for no one but you.
00:16:15And I will never let anything make you cry again.
00:16:25Cassian, you play so beautifully.
00:16:28Tell me, have you played it for many others?
00:16:33Never.
00:16:34This song means too much to me.
00:16:36I play it only for the one who matters most.
00:16:39From this day, I will play this for no one but you.
00:16:50What are you doing here?
00:16:53Leaving so soon, Serafina.
00:16:55Or is it that you cannot bear to watch us?
00:16:58Pay her no mind.
00:17:00She is a cold woman.
00:17:01Cassian, you 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?
00:17:20Your Highness, Lord Cassian is waiting in the courtyard.
00:17:24He says he has the day free, and 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.
00:17:39Every 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?
00:18:04How 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, you 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, go.
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 and Princess Isaret rides for the dragons.
00:18:45And the crowned princess?
00:18:48Ah, heir to this throne and 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, well, that's hardly worth speaking of.
00:19:07Ah, there's a noble heart.
00:19:09If it were left to me, the 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.
00:19:50Serafinda!
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.
00:20:24You.
00:20:31My lord, help me!
00:20:33Serafina means to kill me!
00:20:39Rope, now!
00:21:03Help!
00:21:03The crown princess is in the water!
00:21:05Somebody get her out!
00:21:07Somebody get her out!
00:21:11Serafina!
00:21:12Serafina.
00:21:12You'd kill your own sister.
00:21:15You're not the one being sent to the dragons.
00:21:16What more do you want from her?
00:21:20Serafina.
00:21:23Serafina.
00:21:24Cassian.
00:21:26It wasn't me.
00:21:28Be silent!
00:21:29I've heard enough lying out of you!
00:21:32All 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've 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 Serafina 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.
00:22:34You...
00:22:42Serafina!
00:22:43Serafina, 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.
00:22:51Serafina.
00:22:52Serafina!
00:22:53Someone!
00:22:54The healer!
00:22:55Fetch the healer, now!
00:22:57Serafina.
00:22:58You're bound for the dragons.
00:23:00And still you'd steal Kastler'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, he'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.
00:23:45I'm a princess.
00:23:49You're a knight.
00:23:52Keep your distance.
00:23:57You're a knight.
00:23:57Does she mean it?
00:23:59No.
00:24:00No, she's only angry.
00:24:02She could never let me go.
00:24:04Not her.
00:24:06Cassius.
00:24:07In just three days I'll leave for the dragon realm.
00:24:10Then you'll finally be free to marry the woman you truly love and have the happiness you've always wanted.
00:24:15A life where you'll never have 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 above everything.
00:24:34It was...
00:24:35It 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 so lovely.
00:24:58I only wanted to hold it a while.
00:25:00That'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 over 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... I never meant to.
00:25:41Seraphina 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.
00:25:51But 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.
00:26:05Seraphina.
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?
00:27:02Just now.
00:27:04Some trick of the mind?
00:27:13From that day on.
00:27:15Cassian kept vigil outside my door.
00:27:18Three days.
00:27:19Three nights.
00:27:25And right up to the night before I rode for the dragons.
00:27:28I never let him in.
00:27:32Serafina.
00:27:35I'll marry you.
00:27:37A knight's honor.
00:27:38I mean it.
00:27:41I'll spend my whole life making that wound right.
00:27:43The night.
00:27:59You are right.
00:28:00You're right.
00:28:00You're right.
00:28:01We're right.
00:28:01And the night.
00:28:08I'll end my life making it through.
00:28:11And then we're just fine.
00:28:11You're right.
00:28:11You are right?
00:28:12The night.
00:28:15he still doesn't know
00:28:18tomorrow
00:28:19I disappear
00:28:21and the bride waiting at his altar
00:28:24won't be me
00:28:30the day I rode for the dragons was the same day Cassian married my sister
00:28:38by then
00:28:40he'd have opened the little surprise I left him
00:28:43in
00:28:50in
00:28:51in
00:28:51in
00:28:51in
00:28:52in
00:28:53in
00:28:54in
00:28:58in
00:29:19Cassian, what was he doing out here?
00:29:23Isolette, let me see you off one last time, please.
00:29:28So that was it. He thought Isolette was behind that curtain. That was the only reason he came.
00:29:43Is that it? You're angry I'm to marry Serafina and so you won't speak to me.
00:29:51But I have no choice in it. There's a debt I owe her and I mean to pay it.
00:29:58But, forgive me. In the end I couldn't keep them from sending you to the dragons.
00:30:06But, if you truly don't want this, say 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. If there is another life, let fate put me beside
00:30:27Isolette.
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.
00:30:35Last time, if I'd only seen it sooner, I'd not have spent so many years aching over him.
00:30:41And now, at last, I could let all of it go. This time, let it be me who says it.
00:30:48Whether that place is hell or not, I ask one thing, that I never look upon your face again.
00:30:59Isolette!
00:31:01Isolette!
00:31:22Isolette!
00:31:37If I'd only fought harder, perhaps she'd never have been sent away at all.
00:31:44But, but what else was I to do?
00:31:47A knight's honor. I mean it.
00:31:51I'll spend my whole life making that wound right.
00:32:07In this life, I'd never reach the end of the road beside the woman I love.
00:32:16A knight's honor.
00:32:35Lord Cassian.
00:32:37Isn't it? It can't be you.
00:32:40It's me, of course. What is it, my lord? Aren't you pleased?
00:32:44No. This is no jest. Why are you the bride?
00:32:51I don't know. I swear I don't.
00:32:54The decree that came to me, it said Serafina would go to the dragons in my place.
00:33:00Say that again. The one going to the dragons is Serafina?
00:33:06Then the woman in that carriage, the one I begged to stay, was her.
00:33:15But, if 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.
00:33:33It was Serafina all along.
00:33:35Lord Cassian, where are you going?
00:33:39Cassian?
00:33:40Cassian!
00:33:42Cassian!
00:33:49Wait for me, Serafina!
00:33:52Wait for me, Serafina!
00:34:22Vyros, the dragon king.
00:34:24He'd hated our kingdom from the day he rose.
00:34:27And no one alive knew why.
00:34:32There's a reason he hates us this much.
00:34:35Find it.
00:34:36And perhaps I end this war before it begins.
00:34:49Our king!
00:35:03I'd expected the dragon king to be some fanged thing out of a nightmare.
00:35:07I hadn't expected this.
00:35:09A man so young,
00:35:11so terribly beautiful.
00:35:18You dare look me in the eye?
00:35:21I am to be your bride.
00:35:23Since when is it a sin
00:35:24for a wife to look upon her own husband?
00:35:34A human.
00:35:35Calling me husband.
00:35:38How bold.
00:35:39Perhaps I'll simply put you in the ground.
00:35:41Here and now.
00:35:44You won't.
00:35:46Kill me now,
00:35:47and you throw away the very excuse you need to march on my kingdom.
00:35:51Dragon king or not,
00:35:52even you fear what happens when every human realm rises against you at once.
00:35:58I'd wager your plan is to break me,
00:36:00to torment me until I put an end to myself
00:36:02and hand you your predex for war.
00:36:04Have I got it wrong?
00:36:08And if you have,
00:36:11what of it?
00:36:20Throw her in the condemned cells.
00:36:38I would endure this,
00:36:39whatever it took.
00:36:40I couldn't just sit and wait to die.
00:36:43But this cage,
00:36:44how was I to break it open?
00:36:46When you can't stomach it any longer,
00:36:48you're welcome to end it yourself.
00:36:51Leave a note while you're at it.
00:36:52I hated the dragons,
00:36:53couldn't take it,
00:36:54something like that.
00:36:55Saves us the trouble of faking one.
00:36:57I'm not dying here.
00:36:59You?
00:36:59Huh.
00:37:00We'll see how long that holds.
00:37:08No, please.
00:37:09I'm nothing.
00:37:10I only guard the cells.
00:37:11Give me the keys,
00:37:12or I end you where you stand.
00:37:19Now.
00:37:20All right.
00:37:21All right.
00:37:39All right.
00:38:08My king,
00:38:10I'm so ashamed.
00:38:10And there it is.
00:38:11And there it is.
00:38:11Every reason I need to march on them in full force.
00:38:15As you command.
00:38:16All right.
00:38:19I'd wager your plan is to break me
00:38:21To torment me until I put an end to myself
00:38:23And hand you your predex for war
00:38:24A brave woman
00:38:26A beautiful one too
00:38:29A pity
00:38:30But I will have my vengeance
00:38:31And she has nothing in it
00:38:33One small sacrifice no more
00:38:35Make it quick at least
00:38:38Yes, my king
00:38:46My king
00:38:47Something's happened
00:38:49The princess never fled
00:38:50She's coming here
00:38:52Straight for your palace
00:38:56She's
00:38:57What?
00:39:23Dragon king
00:39:25I come as a princess of the human realm
00:39:27And I ask to treat with you
00:39:29Once
00:39:30Our peoples lived in peace
00:39:33Then you came
00:39:35I don't know what blood lies between you and my kingdom
00:39:38But I want to understand it
00:39:40And to know whether any of it can still be put to rest
00:39:43I know I'm just one person
00:39:45One voice
00:39:46But I am done watching this world bleed
00:39:48Yours and mine
00:39:53So let me try
00:39:55Let me fight for it
00:39:56Even if
00:39:58If it cost me my life
00:40:02Insolence
00:40:02That she'd speak to the king like that
00:40:05Let me drag her back to the condemned cells and break her
00:40:10How easily you offer up your life
00:40:12In my experience words like that are nothing but theater
00:40:17You want to treat with me
00:40:18Then show me what your resolve is worth
00:40:22Climb the stair of penance
00:40:24All of it
00:40:27Reach the doors of my palace and I'll hear your terms
00:40:31Provided of course
00:40:33You can survive the black lash
00:40:38I can
00:40:40I can do this
00:40:53Thought
00:40:54Nothing but theater
00:41:12My king
00:41:13She's up
00:41:14She's on her feet again
00:41:32I
00:41:32Will not fall
00:41:53Gods above
00:41:54What kind of will is that
00:41:56She's only human
00:41:58That lash
00:41:59Even I couldn't take more than a few of those
00:42:38Talk
00:42:38Did you see the dragon or not
00:42:44You have any idea what that thing's worth
00:42:51I
00:42:51I never saw anything
00:43:03No
00:43:04Stay hidden
00:43:05Don't you dare
00:43:06Waste this
00:43:12Why
00:43:13Why does she feel so much like her
00:43:15The girl who saved me
00:43:20No
00:43:22It can't be
00:43:23That girl
00:43:25She died years ago
00:43:27Almost
00:43:28Almost there
00:43:40Interesting woman
00:43:54I
00:43:55I
00:43:55Will not fall
00:43:58I
00:43:59Will not fall
00:44:03Sir
00:44:04Not every human is worth despising after all
00:44:13What are you doing
00:44:15You're in my palace
00:44:16I may do whatever I please with you
00:44:34You're in my palace
00:44:35I
00:44:37May 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, what is it I'm not permitted to do?
00:44:56No, you will not.
00:45:02Put me down!
00:45:14Why?
00:45:16Why would you heal me?
00:45:20She's right.
00:45:22Why would I?
00:45:23Why would I heal a lowly human?
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...
00:45:38I still want to talk.
00:45:40Tomorrow.
00:45:41You'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,
00:45:55a way in.
00:46:02Are you finished?
00:46:03Come, walk with me.
00:46:06Where are we going?
00:46:10You ask too many questions.
00:46:18This place.
00:46:20What 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.
00:46:39The bone.
00:46:40The blood.
00:46:41The heart.
00:46:42And for that,
00:46:44for 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,
00:47:27blinded by greed?
00:47:30If the sins of a few must be paid in the blood of thousands,
00:47:34generation after generation,
00:47:36then tell me,
00:47:38where 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
00:48:15I ever found among your kind.
00:48:37Looks like she's gone.
00:48:39Find somewhere and get rid of it.
00:48:40I 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.
00:48:54When 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.
00:49:29I've changed my mind.
00:49:43what is it it's nothing only the sunset is beautiful tonight a sunset what is there to look

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.

01:02:38princess isolette pulled princess serafina over the edge with her
01:02:41on purpose
01:02:45she
01:02:46what
01:02:51it's a lie

01:02:52she's making it all up

01:03:29yes
01:03:30and what of it
01:03:33i was the one meant to go to the dragons
01:03:35she took the glory that was mine
01:03:38and now she's taking you as well
01:03:41so i taught her a lesson
01:03:44was that not my right
01:03:47and that's not the half of it
01:03:49her mother's precious little flute
01:03:51i broke it on purpose
01:03:53i hate everything about her

01:03:59isolette
01:04:02so this is who you truly are
01:04:12me
01:04:13and what kind of man are you
01:04:17you were the one who despised serafina
01:04:20you were the one who abandoned me at the altar
01:04:23what right do you have to judge me
01:04:27cassian
01:04:29has it never occurred to you what a hypocrite you are
01:04:33or is it
01:04:36that you want us both
01:04:37the two of us
01:04:41don't
01:04:42don't be absurd
01:04:44you know
01:04:47in your own heart
01:04:49you know
01:04:56could it be
01:04:57as she said
01:04:58that the one i've wanted all along
01:05:00was serafina
01:05:01no matter what
01:05:03this time
01:05:05i will bring serafina 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
01:05:22and for no reason i could see
01:05:24he'd stop the raids on our borders himself
01:05:26if it could just
01:05:27stay like this
01:05:28that would be enough

01:09:18dragon king
01:09:21there is one more matter i came for

01:09:42i will take back the princess of my kingdom
01:09:45her highness
01:09:47serafina
01:09:50let us kill him now
01:09:53lord cassian
01:09:54remember your place
01:10:01what then
01:10:03is the great dragon king nothing but a name after all
01:10:07too afraid to take up my challenge
01:10:12i simply find that you
01:10:16are not worth the trouble of a duel
01:10:20but since you are so eager to die
01:10:23i shall grant your wish
01:10:26however
01:10:28this duel is between you and me alone
01:10:30and as for where my wife chooses to go
01:10:33that choice is hers
01:10:35and hers alone
01:10:41so
01:10:49Oh, my God.
01:11:16The mightiest knight of human, and you lasted all of two passes.
01:11:55If he uses that, it could triple him for life.
01:11:59He may never set foot on a battlefield again.
01:12:06Have you lost your mind, my lord?
01:12:08How could you do something so reckless?
01:12:13For you, I would give my life.
01:12:17The kingdom still needs you.
01:12:19And you, you are the most selfish man alive.
01:12:24Be careful.
01:12:25That will multiply his strength many times over.
01:12:28Have no fear.
01:12:29I'm your husband, am I not?
01:12:31The Dragon King.
01:12:58Wait for your moment, and put this arrow through her.
01:13:23Oh, my God.
01:13:46Are you hurt?
01:13:48Are you all right?
01:13:50A scratch.
01:13:51It won't kill me.
01:13:55I, I won.
01:13:58Didn't I?
01:14:00Have you any pride left at all as a knight?
01:14:10No.
01:14:15A duel is a duel.
01:14:17Whatever the cause, I lost.
01:14:19Let him go.
01:14:24But I said it before.
01:14:26Where my wife goes, it's hers to decide, and hers alone.
01:14:29I will see him off, and put an end to all of it.
01:14:34Don't worry.
01:14:35I told you I won't leave again.
01:14:38I believe you.
01:14:43Come, my lord.
01:14:44It's time to go.
01:14:47You've changed your mind.
01:14:48You'll, you'll come home with me.
01:15:08God.
01:15:09To see you again.
01:15:11It's real.
01:15:12This isn't a dream.
01:15:12It isn't a dream.
01:15:14You're awake, my lord.
01:15:16I had a long dream.
01:15:17A very long one.
01:15:19In it, we were wed.
01:15:21I saved your life, and I said such cruel things to you.
01:15:23So many of them, and in the end, you gave your life for the kingdom.
01:15:26You died.
01:15:28Serafina, it was all real, wasn't it?
01:15:29You've lived it once already.
01:15:31That's why you took Islet's place this time, isn't it?
01:15:34But it's all right.
01:15:35You came back.
01:15:37You came back after all.
01:15:40My lord, it's time you left.
01:15:42I came only to tell you this.
01:15:44You are never to set foot in this place again.
01:15:46What?
01:15:47What are you saying?
01:15:48You're supposed to come with me.
01:15:49You saw it yourself.
01:15:50I threw away my honor as a knight.
01:15:51For you.
01:15:52Only ever for you.
01:15:54Please, don't go.
01:15:55By the authority of the Dragon King's wife, I give this order.
01:15:58If this man ever sets foot on dragon soil again, kill him where he stands.
01:16:03Serafina!
01:16:19Serafina!
01:16:25What are you smiling at?
01:16:27I knew it.
01:16:28I knew you would come back to me.
01:16:31Veros, can we just go on like this?
01:16:34Always.
01:16:34No more war.
01:16:35Not ever again.
01:16:37It's all right.
01:16:38Refuse me now if you like.
01:16:39I've patience enough to wear you down.
01:16:41You'll say yes in the end.
01:16:42Does it hurt?
01:16:44Little dragon.
01:16:46Little dragon.
01:16:47Can you hear me?
01:16:48Little dragon.
01:16:50Oh God.
01:16:51Little dragon.
01:16:53What?
01:16:54Did you just call me?
01:17:14Don't be afraid, little dragon.
01:17:17I won't hurt you.
01:17:22You're hurt.
01:17:23Let me help.
01:17:31There.
01:17:32If I wanted to hurt you, you'd be dead already.
01:17:37Now hold still.
01:17:39Let me put the salve on.
01:17:5712 years ago, it was me.
01:18:00I saved you.
01:18:02Don't you remember me?
01:18:04It's, it's you.
01:18:08It's truly you.
01:18:11You remember?
01:18:12My God.
01:18:14It was you all along.
01:18:16You were my little dragon.
01:18:19You were my little dragon.
01:18:27But you, you were dead.
01:18:30How can you be standing here?
01:18:32That day.
01:18:58Serafina!
01:19:05The little princess, she's gone. There's no breath in her.
01:19:13Your Majesty, not the Ring of Life. It will burn away the years of your own life.
01:19:17If you bring her back, you won't see three months more.
01:19:20I am her mother. This is what a mother does.
01:19:38So that's, that's how it was. Your mother was a great woman. In the years after, I sent my kin
01:19:44to tear open that whole mountainside. I never found so much as a bone. That unmarked grave you saw. The
01:19:50day I took you out there, I raised it for you.
01:19:52Well then, I suppose you'll have to go and pull that gravestone down.
01:19:56You're alive. After all these years, you're alive.
01:20:00I never imagined that the little dragon from all those years ago would grow this tall, this fearsome, and become
01:20:05the Dragon King himself. I can hardly believe it.
01:20:08There's something you'll believe even less.

01:20:43Go!
01:20:45Go!
01:20:46Go!"
