spatial note on Their Brother, the Dragon Sacrifice — the house has a map and he isn't on it.
Count the rooms. The study, where decisions happen — he's never inside. The dining room, where he eats at the end nearest the door. The upper floor, which he enters for one purpose and leaves.
Then count what he does have. Kitchen. Yard. Corridor. Service spaces, all of them.
That's not cruelty, that's architecture. Somebody built that house so certain people move a particular way, and nobody's had to enforce anything for years.
Watch the last episode. He stands in the study.
✨ What actually worked for me:
- No camera tricks. He simply isn't there.
- Nobody tells him to leave. He knows.
✨ Bottom line: the house was the antagonist, and it never raised its voice.
How many rooms were you not allowed in?

00:00:08Please, Kaya. Please believe me.
00:00:13Don't hurt him, dear sister.
00:00:15We should feel sorry for Alistair.
00:00:17It's been hard for him to adjust to having me around as a foster brother.
00:00:19But I understand.
00:00:21Doran, you're so kind despite everything Alistair has done to you.
00:00:24It's a shining light that even I can see.
00:00:27If only they knew the truth.
00:00:30That it was Dorian who stabbed himself to turn the Quinns against me.
00:00:33The Quinns family will blame you for this and love me in return.
00:00:39It doesn't matter.
00:00:41In three days I'll be gone and never return.
00:01:11Our realm is under dragon attack.
00:01:14The only way to end it is for one human to willingly enter the dragon valley as a sacrifice.
00:01:21Will anyone step forward to save the realm?
00:01:27I volunteer as sacrifice.
00:01:36You are young to have such a death wish.
00:01:39I'm 18, your majesty.
00:01:41My only wish is that my life means something.
00:01:44Very well.
00:01:45You shall travel to the dragon valley in three days' time with the arrival of the full moon.
00:01:51And there you will die.
00:01:53Before you go, I must ask.
00:01:55You are so young, why would you give up your life so freely?
00:01:58I'm an orphan.
00:01:59Found near the dragon valley as a child, I have no true family to mourn me.
00:02:03That is because my family already treats me like I'm dead.
00:02:06Though it was not always the case.
00:02:09I was raised a noble of House Quinn by Lord Quinn and Lady Quinn.
00:02:17They took me in as a child and brought me up as one of their own.
00:02:25Lord Quinn taught me to run.
00:02:28I'm doing it, Father. Look!
00:02:29That's it, Alistair.
00:02:30Soon you shall be riding a horse like a knight.
00:02:33My mother, Lady Quinn, taught me to be gentle.
00:02:38Remember, Alistair, you're demigrated.
00:02:47My older sister, the brave, my kind, taught me to fight.
00:02:51Better luck next time, brother.
00:02:55And my sister, Elaine, blinded by a fever, taught me to see what was just what was on the surface.
00:03:15Dorian, the son of a defeated noble sent to my father, was payment.
00:03:19I thought I found a brother that was like me.
00:03:22An orphan, except he came from noble birth.
00:03:26But it was not meant to be.
00:03:37While hunters, Dorian blamed me for a stab wound he gave me.
00:03:46There is room for only one foundling in this family.
00:03:54My family believed him.
00:03:56Father banished me from the house, ordering me to live in the stables.
00:04:03I've been there ever since, despite the pain.
00:04:06The Quinns loved me for many years.
00:04:10They saved my life.
00:04:12Now I can repay them by saving their lives and the realm.
00:04:16No one will miss me.
00:04:19You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
00:04:22I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace and you can travel home in my private
00:04:26carriage.
00:04:27Majesty, I do have one request.
00:04:29Name it and it is yours.
00:04:30I wish that my identity stays a secret.
00:04:33That no one outside of the people in this room will know what I have volunteered to do.
00:04:37I promise, no one will know.
00:04:39Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name or mention what he promised to do today, so long as Alistair
00:04:45is alive.
00:04:46This is my command, under penalty of death.
00:04:58Three days.
00:05:00Three days I will be gone.
00:05:23Just as I had hoped, the manor was quiet this early.
00:05:26There would be no family around to see me arriving from my secret trip to the capital.
00:05:32Though perhaps I've spoken too soon.
00:05:39There are dragons on the loose, boy.
00:05:43You should be guarding this manor with your life, not disappearing like a common coward.
00:05:47Forgive me, my lord.
00:05:50A stable rat dressed as a prince.
00:05:52You probably stole these clothes.
00:05:54You're lying!
00:05:55A thief in fancy clothes.
00:05:58Are the clothes we give you not enough?
00:06:00Did you have to go steal these?
00:06:09Yet again, you embarrass our family.
00:06:12Your stolen clothes don't look so nice now.
00:06:14Come on, Kaya, ignore him.
00:06:16You are just a stable boy.
00:06:18The mud is where you belong and where you should stay.
00:06:21Hey.
00:06:27In three days I will be gone.
00:06:44Tell me, when do you plan to tell the quits of the volunteers the dragon sacrificed?
00:06:48Do you know?
00:06:49But how?
00:06:51No.
00:06:52People see me as nothing more than a loyal bundle.
00:06:55There is more to me than meets the eye.
00:07:11I've decided not to tell them.
00:07:13They'll find out soon enough.
00:07:15Will you keep this between us?
00:07:18Yes.
00:07:19I will keep your secret.
00:07:20The realm needs a sacrifice, not a family scandal.
00:07:23A heart can break twice, boy.
00:07:25Once from cruelties and once from silence.
00:07:30Then let mine break quietly.
00:07:34Emerus was the man who found me as a baby.
00:07:36Later, he would come to work for my family.
00:07:39I know I can trust him.
00:07:41Certainly more than my family.
00:07:46That screed came from Lady Quinn's rose garden.
00:07:49Mother!
00:07:55My roses.
00:07:57My beautiful, innocent roses.
00:08:00They're dead.
00:08:05Mother, someone put salt in the soil.
00:08:08Nothing can survive in your garden.
00:08:10Who could have done this?
00:08:11Alistair was angry that you praised my pruning yesterday.
00:08:14That's not true.
00:08:15I've been gone and only just now returned.
00:08:17Gone where?
00:08:18To destroy the evidence.
00:08:19We should search his room.
00:08:24There is nothing to find.
00:08:26I swear, please believe me.
00:08:29There, under his bed.
00:08:41I don't believe my eyes.
00:08:43A sack of salt.
00:08:44Half empty.
00:08:53I told you he did it.
00:08:55Those roses were the one thing I trusted you with.
00:08:59How could you?
00:09:03I swear I didn't harm your roses.
00:09:05I haven't even been here long enough to do it.
00:09:07You saw me arrive early this morning.
00:09:09That's true.
00:09:11Alistair wasn't here this morning.
00:09:12Yes.
00:09:12Very convenient that he was absent.
00:09:14Almost like he knew he needed an alibi.
00:09:17Well, no, that isn't what I was doing.
00:09:19Then what were you doing?
00:09:20Where were you exactly, Alistair?
00:09:22I can't say.
00:09:24It'll all become clear in three days.
00:09:26It's clear to me now.
00:09:28You intentionally destroyed my wife's prized roses.
00:09:31I didn't.
00:09:32Please, mother.
00:09:33Do not call me that.
00:09:35You've changed, Alistair.
00:09:37I don't know this person you've become.
00:09:39I'm not your mother and you're not my son.
00:09:41My heart is breaking.
00:09:43Her words hurt worse than any beating ever could.
00:09:49First, you crippled all your heart.
00:09:51And now you murder mother's prized rose garden.
00:09:54I didn't do any of those things.
00:09:57Isn't it suspicious that Dorian knew exactly where to find the salt?
00:10:01How dare you accuse Dorian!
00:10:08Please, Kaya.
00:10:10Please believe me.
00:10:14Don't hurt him, dear sister.
00:10:16We should feel sorry for Alistair.
00:10:17It's been hard for him to adjust to having me around as a foster brother.
00:10:20But I understand.
00:10:21Dorian, you're so kind despite everything Alistair has done to you.
00:10:25It's a shining light that even I can see.
00:10:28If only they knew the truth.
00:10:30That it was Dorian stabbed himself to turn the Quinns against me.
00:10:34The Quinns family will blame you for this.
00:10:36Yeah.
00:10:37And love me in return.
00:10:41Doesn't matter.
00:10:42In three days I'll be gone and never return.
00:10:47It took so long to clean the mud off me that I arrived at dinner late.
00:10:50But, to my surprise, I found Dorian sitting in my usual seat at the family table.
00:10:56Excuse me, Dorian.
00:10:57There must be some mistake here in my seat.
00:11:01Rather than fight Dorian, I figured it best to treat him with kindness and hope he did the same.
00:11:06But Lord Quinn had other ideas.
00:11:09The only mistake, Alistair, is you thinking that there is a seat here for you at this table after what
00:11:14you did today.
00:11:15You may dine with the servants.
00:11:18Until you stop these desperate cries for attention, you will remain as you were when we found you.
00:11:23An outsider.
00:11:28Yes, my lord.
00:11:30Father, you'll regret the way you've treated me when I'm gone.
00:11:33If you only knew that I've already promised to save your life.
00:11:44Now that he's washed the mud off his stolen clothes, I'd like to propose a toast to Alistair, the cleanest
00:11:50stable boy I know.
00:11:53If only they knew what I have promised to do.
00:11:56My sacrifice to the Dragon King would earn a real toast, not this nasty joke.
00:12:06My lords, the family sheep, they have escaped from their pins into the night.
00:12:12How could this have happened?
00:12:14Alistair is the stable boy.
00:12:16It was his responsibility.
00:12:17He must have let them escape.
00:12:21I couldn't believe it.
00:12:22I cared for those sheep and would never let them loose.
00:12:25But there's no time to argue.
00:12:27With dragons in the realm, I must hurry to save their lives.
00:12:40Come on, sheep.
00:12:41Come back to your pens.
00:12:46I'll never let you go.
00:12:46My worst fear.
00:12:47A dragon in my family's home.
00:12:52It will kill me.
00:12:54Now I'll never make it to the Vale.
00:12:55Never save the realm.
00:12:59Just make it quick.
00:13:15Why haven't you killed me?
00:13:19Well, well, well, there you are.
00:13:22Dorian, come to rub it in my face.
00:13:24He has no idea the danger he's in.
00:13:29Dorian, you must leave.
00:13:31I wouldn't miss the sight of you scrambling for the world.
00:13:34You see, I was the one who led the sheep out of their pens.
00:13:40I did it because I knew that you would be blamed.
00:13:44There is only room for one of us at House Quid.
00:13:47It wouldn't be me.
00:13:51Finally, Dorian admits his plan.
00:13:54He wants to make my family hate me and love him.
00:14:02But Dorian has no idea what danger he's gotten us into.
00:14:05I need to act now or we both will die.
00:14:09Brother, watch out!
00:14:27Alistair attacked me.
00:14:29He spooked the sheep and caused a stampede.
00:14:33It's not true.
00:14:34There was a dragon.
00:14:35I was only trying to save Dorian.
00:14:37The dragon who was burnt as both the light has disappeared.
00:14:40Where is this dragon gone?
00:14:42Why do you keep lying?
00:14:44Father, please don't be so hard on Alistair.
00:14:46He only lies like this because he is so jealous of me.
00:15:12Father, Father.
00:15:14Father.
00:15:29My hidden magic will reset your broken bones, but it will be painful.
00:15:39The pain of Emerus setting my bones back into place was great,
00:15:42but nothing compared to the pain of how my family treats me.
00:15:48You have done so much for the Quint.
00:15:52You saved your sister Kaya's life.
00:15:57Don't worry, Kaya, I'm here.
00:16:00Alistair, go. Save yourself.
00:16:04I'm done for, brother.
00:16:08The hell you are! You're gonna make it! I'll get you to your horse!
00:16:15Alistair!
00:16:16And nearly lost yours.
00:16:20You nursed your blind sister Elaine through fever.
00:16:23Back! Back!
00:16:26And protected the animals of the stable with your life.
00:16:30And still your family leaves you on the ground like trash.
00:16:34It's true that I love my family even though they treat me so poorly.
00:16:37But they once loved me too, and I can never forget that.
00:16:39It doesn't matter. I'll soon be gone from this place forever.
00:16:45Gone? Gone to where?
00:16:46My sister's heard my secret plan. I've been caught.
00:16:50What have you been hiding from us?
00:17:02Please, Kaya. Please believe me.
00:17:07Don't hurt him, dear sister.
00:17:09We should feel sorry for Alistair.
00:17:11It's been hard for him to adjust to having me around as a foster brother.
00:17:14But I understand.
00:17:15Doran, you're so kind despite everything Alistair has done to you.
00:17:19It's a shining light that even I can see.
00:17:21If only they knew the truth.
00:17:24That it was Dorian who stabbed himself to turn the Quinns against me.
00:17:28The Quinn family will blame you for this, and love me in return.
00:17:34It doesn't matter.
00:17:36In three days I'll be gone and never return.
00:17:56No!
00:18:06Our realm is under dragon attack.
00:18:09The only way to end it is for one human to willingly enter the Dragon Valley as a sacrifice.
00:18:16Will anyone step forward to save the realm?
00:18:22I volunteer as sacrifice.
00:18:31You are young to have such a death wish.
00:18:33I'm 18, Your Majesty. My only wish is that my life means something.
00:18:38Very well.
00:18:40You shall travel to the Dragon Valley in three days time with the arrival of the full moon.
00:18:45And there you will die.
00:18:47Before you go, I must ask.
00:18:49You are so young, why would you give up your life so freely?
00:18:52I'm an orphan.
00:18:54Found near the Dragon Valley as a child, I have no true family to mourn me.
00:18:57That is because my family already treats me like I'm dead.
00:19:00Though it was not always the case.
00:19:03I was raised a noble of House Queen.
00:19:06By Lord Quint and Lady Quint.
00:19:11They took me in as a child and brought me up as one of their own.
00:19:19Lord Quint taught me to ride.
00:19:22I'm doing it, Father. Look!
00:19:24That's it, Alistair.
00:19:25Soon you shall be riding a horse like a knight.
00:19:28My mother, Lady Quint, taught me to be gently.
00:19:32Remember, Alistair, delicate.
00:19:34Take it.
00:19:41My older sister, the brave knight Kaia, taught me to fight.
00:19:45Better luck next time, brother.
00:19:50And my sister, Elaine, blinded by a fever, taught me to see more than just what was on the surface.
00:20:05Grace, that person!
00:20:09Dorian, the son of a defeated noble sent to my father as payment.
00:20:13I thought I found a brother that was like me.
00:20:17An orphan.
00:20:18Except he came from noble birth.
00:20:20But it was not meant to be.
00:20:32While hunted, Dorian blamed me for a stab wound he gave himself.
00:20:40There is room for only one foundling in this family.
00:20:49My family believed him.
00:20:51The father banished me from the house, ordering me to live in the stables.
00:20:58I've been there ever since, despite the pain.
00:21:01The Quinns loved me for many years.
00:21:04They saved my life.
00:21:06Now I can repay them by saving their lives and the realm.
00:21:11No one will miss me.
00:21:14You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
00:21:16I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace and you can travel home in my private
00:21:20carriage.
00:21:22Your Majesty, I do have one request.

00:21:25I wish that my identity stays a secret.
00:21:27That no one outside of the people in this room will know what I have volunteered to do.

00:21:34Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name or mention what he promised to do today, so long as Alistair
00:21:39is alive.
00:21:40This is my command under penalty of death.
00:21:52Three days.
00:21:54In three days I will be gone.
00:21:56Three days.
00:22:17Just as I had hoped, the manor was quiet this early.
00:22:21There would be no family around to see me arriving from my secret trip to the capital.
00:22:27Though perhaps I have spoken too soon.
00:22:30They seem angry.
00:22:33And where have you been?
00:22:35There are dragons on the loose, boy.
00:22:37You should be guarding this manor with your life, not disappearing like a common coward.
00:22:42Forgive me, my lord.
00:22:44A stable rat dressed as a prince.
00:22:46You probably stole these clothes.
00:22:48You're lying.
00:22:50A thief in fancy clothes.
00:22:52Are the clothes we give you not enough?
00:22:54Did you have to go steal these?
00:23:03Yet again you embarrass our family.
00:23:06Your stolen clothes don't look so nice now.
00:23:08Come on, Kai.
00:23:10You are just a stable boy.
00:23:12The mud is where you belong and where you should stay.
00:23:21In three days I will be gone.
00:23:37In three days I will be gone.
00:23:39Tell me, when do you plan to tell the quins that you volunteered as the dragon sacrifice?
00:23:43You know?
00:23:44But how?
00:23:47People see me as nothing more than a loyal butler.
00:23:50But there is more to me than meets the eye.
00:24:05I've decided not to tell them.
00:24:07They'll find out soon enough.
00:24:09Will you keep this between us?
00:24:12Yes.
00:24:13I will keep your secret.
00:24:15The realm needs a sacrifice, not a family scandal.
00:24:17A heart can break twice, boy.
00:24:19Once from cruelties and once from silence.
00:24:24Then let mine break quietly.
00:24:28Emrys was the man who found me as a baby.
00:24:31Later he would come to work for my family.
00:24:33I know I can trust him.
00:24:36Certainly more than my family.
00:24:40That scream came from Lady Quinn's rose garden.
00:24:44Mother!
00:24:49My roses.
00:24:51My beautiful, innocent roses.
00:24:54They're dead.
00:25:00Mother.
00:25:01Someone put salt in the soil.
00:25:02Nothing can survive in your garden.
00:25:04Who could have done this?
00:25:05Alistair was angry that you praised my pruning yesterday.
00:25:08That's not true.
00:25:09I've been gone and only just now returned.
00:25:11Gone where?
00:25:12To destroy the evidence.
00:25:14We should search his room.
00:25:19There is nothing to find.
00:25:21I swear, please believe me.
00:25:24There! Under his bed!
00:25:35I don't believe my eyes.
00:25:37A sack of salt.
00:25:39Half empty.
00:25:48I told you he did it.
00:25:50Those roses were the one thing I trusted you with.
00:25:53How could you?
00:25:57I swear I didn't harm your roses.
00:26:00I haven't even been here long enough to do it.
00:26:02You saw me arrive early this morning.
00:26:04That's true.
00:26:04Alistair wasn't here this morning.
00:26:06Yes.
00:26:07Very convenient that he was absent.
00:26:09Almost like he knew he needed an alibi.
00:26:11What? No, that isn't what I was doing.
00:26:13Then what were you doing?
00:26:14Where were you exactly, Alistair?
00:26:17I can't say.
00:26:19But it all will become clear in three days.
00:26:21It's clear to me now.
00:26:22You intentionally destroyed my wife's prized roses!
00:26:26I didn't.
00:26:26Please, Mother.
00:26:27Do not call me that.
00:26:30You've changed, Alistair.
00:26:31I don't know this person you've become.
00:26:33I'm not your mother and you're not my son.
00:26:36My heart is breaking.
00:26:37The words are the words that I need to be at the end of the kingdom.
00:26:43First, you crippled Dorian on the heart.
00:26:46And now you murder Mother's prized rose garden.
00:26:48I didn't do any of those things.
00:26:52Isn't it suspicious that Dorian knew exactly where to find the salt?
00:26:55How dare you accuse Dorian!
00:27:00No.
00:27:03Please, Kyle.
00:27:04Please believe me.
00:27:08Don't hurt him, dear sister.
00:27:10We should feel sorry for Alistair.
00:27:12It's been hard for him to adjust to having me around as a foster brother.
00:27:15But I understand.
00:27:16Dorian, you're so kind despite everything Alistair has done to you.
00:27:20It's a shining light that even I can see.
00:27:22If only they knew the truth.
00:27:25That it was Dorian who stabbed himself to turn the Quins against me.
00:27:29The Quinn family will blame you for this.
00:27:31And love me in return.
00:27:35It doesn't matter.
00:27:36In three days I'll be gone and never return.
00:27:41It took so long to clean the mud off me that I arrived at dinner late.
00:27:45But, to my surprise, I found Dorian sitting in my usual seat at the family table.
00:27:51Excuse me, Dorian.
00:27:52There must be some mistake.
00:27:53You're in my seat.
00:27:56Rather than fight Dorian, I figured it best to treat him with kindness and hope he did the same.
00:28:01But Lord Quinn had other ideas.
00:28:03The only mistake, Alistair,
00:28:06is you thinking that there is a seat here for you at this table after what you did today.
00:28:10You may dine with the servants.
00:28:12Until you stop these desperate cries for attention,
00:28:15you will remain as you were when we found you.
00:28:18An outsider.
00:28:23Yes, my lord.
00:28:24Father, you'll regret the way you've treated me when I'm gone.
00:28:27If you only knew that I've already promised to save your life.
00:28:39Now that he's washed the mud off his stolen clothes, I'd like to propose a toast to Alistair, the cleanest
00:28:45stable boy I know.
00:28:48If only they knew what I have promised to do.
00:28:51My sacrifice to the Dragon King would earn a real toast, not this nasty joke.
00:29:01My lords, the family sheep, they have escaped from their pins into the night.
00:29:07How could this have happened?
00:29:09Alistair is the stable boy.
00:29:10It was his responsibility.
00:29:12He must have let them escape.
00:29:15I couldn't believe it.
00:29:17I cared for those sheep and would never let them loose.
00:29:20But there's no time to argue.
00:29:22With dragons in the realm, I must hurry to save their lives.
00:29:35Come on, sheep.
00:29:36Come back to your pens.
00:29:40My worst fear.
00:29:42A dragon at my family's home.
00:29:47It would kill me.
00:29:48Now I'll never make it to the veil.
00:29:50I'll never save the realm.
00:29:54Just make it quick.
00:30:10Why haven't you killed me?
00:30:14Well, well, well, there you are.
00:30:17Dorian, come to rub it in my face.
00:30:19He has no idea the danger he's in.
00:30:24Dorian, you must leave.
00:30:25I wouldn't miss the sight of you scrambling for the world.
00:30:29You see, I was the one that let the sheep out of their pens and...
00:30:35I did it because I knew that you would be blamed.
00:30:39There is only one for one like someone else, Robert.
00:30:41And it will be me.
00:30:45Finally, Dorian admits his plan.
00:30:48He wants to make my family hate of them.
00:30:56But Dorian has no idea what danger he's going to.
00:31:00I need to act now or we both will die.
00:31:03Brother, watch out!
00:31:07No!
00:31:13No!
00:31:15No!
00:31:16No!
00:31:18No!
00:31:20No!
00:31:22Alistair attacked me!
00:31:23He spooked the sheep and caused a stampede!
00:31:27It's not true.
00:31:28There was a dragon!
00:31:30I was only trying to save Dorian.
00:31:32The dragon that almost burned us both alive has disappeared.
00:31:34Where has this dragon gone?
00:31:37Why do you keep lying?
00:31:38Father please don't be so hard on Alistair
00:31:40He only lies like this because he is so jealous of me
00:32:04Watch out it
00:32:05Mother
00:32:09Father
00:32:24My hidden magic will reset your broken bones
00:32:27But it will be painful
00:32:33The pain of Emerith setting my bones back into place was great
00:32:36But nothing compared to the pain of how my family treats me
00:32:43You have done so much for the Quint
00:32:47You saved your sister Kaya's life
00:32:51Don't worry Kaya, I'm here
00:32:55Alistair, go
00:32:56Save yourself
00:32:59I'm done for, brother
00:33:03The hell you are!
00:33:04You're gonna make it!
00:33:05I'll get you to your horse
00:33:09Alistair!
00:33:10I nearly lost yours
00:33:14You nursed your blind sister Elaine through a fever
00:33:18Back! Back!
00:33:20And protected the animals of the stable with your life
00:33:24But still your family leaves you on the ground like trash
00:33:28It's true that I love my family even though they treat me so poorly
00:33:31But they once loved me too
00:33:32And I can never forget that
00:33:34It doesn't matter
00:33:36I'll soon be gone from this place forever
00:33:38Gone?
00:33:40Gone to where?
00:33:41My sister's heard my secret plan
00:33:43I've been caught
00:33:44What have you been hiding from us?
00:33:47The End
00:33:56Please, Kaya
00:33:57Please believe me
00:34:02Don't hurt him, dear sister
00:34:04We should feel sorry for Alistair
00:34:05It's been hard for him to adjust to having me around as a foster brother, but I understand.
00:34:10Doran, you're so kind despite everything Alistair has done to you.
00:34:13It's a shining light that even I can see.
00:34:16If only they knew the truth.
00:34:19That it was Dorian stabbed himself to turn the Quinns against me.
00:34:22The Quinn family will blame you for this and love me in return.
00:34:28It doesn't matter.
00:34:30In three days I'll be gone and never return.
00:34:43No!
00:34:50No!
00:34:51No!
00:34:52No!
00:34:52No!
00:34:52No!
00:34:54No!
00:34:55No!
00:34:55No!
00:34:56No!
00:34:57No!
00:34:58No!
00:35:00No!
00:35:00No!
00:35:00No!
00:35:01Our realm is under dragon attack.
00:35:03The only way to end it is for one human to willingly enter the dragon valley as a sacrifice.
00:35:11Will anyone step forward to save the realm?
00:35:16I volunteer as sacrifice.
00:35:26You are young to have such a death wish.
00:35:28I'm eighteen, your majesty.
00:35:30My only wish is that my life means something.
00:35:33Very well.
00:35:34You shall travel to the dragon valley in three days' time with the arrival of the full moon.
00:35:40And there you will die.
00:35:42Before you go, I must ask.
00:35:44You are so young.
00:35:45Why would you give up your life so freely?
00:35:47I'm an orphan.
00:35:48Found near the dragon valley as a child.
00:35:50I have no true family to mourn me.
00:35:52That is because my family already treats me like I'm dead.
00:35:55Though it was not always the case.
00:35:58I was raised a noble of House Quinn.
00:36:01By Lord Quinn and Lady Quinn.
00:36:06They took me in as a child and brought me up as one of their own.
00:36:14Lord Quinn taught me to ride.
00:36:17I'm doing it, Father. Look!
00:36:18That's it, Alistair.
00:36:19Soon you shall be riding a horse like a knight.
00:36:22My mother, Lady Quinn, taught me to be gentle.
00:36:27Remember, Alistair.
00:36:28Delicate.
00:36:36My older sister, the brave knight, Kaya, taught me to fight.
00:36:40Better luck next time, brother.
00:36:44And my sister, Elaine, blinded by a fever, taught me to see more than just what was on the surface.
00:36:59What is that purpose?
00:37:03Dorian.
00:37:04The son of a defeated noble sent to my father as payment.
00:37:08I thought I found a brother that was like me.
00:37:11An orphan.
00:37:12Except he came from noble birth.
00:37:15But it was not meant to be.
00:37:26While hunting, Dorian blamed me for a stab wound he gave it to me.
00:37:35There is room for only one foundling in this family.
00:37:43My family believed him.
00:37:45The father banished me from the house, ordering me to live in the stables.
00:37:52I've been there ever since, despite the pain.
00:37:55The Quins loved me for many years.
00:37:59They saved my life.
00:38:01Now I can repay them by saving their lives and the realm.
00:38:05No one will miss me.
00:38:08You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
00:38:11I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace and you can travel home in my private
00:38:15carriage.
00:38:16Majesty, I do have one request.
00:38:18Name it and it is yours.
00:38:19I wish that my identity stays a secret.
00:38:22That no one outside of the people in this room will know what I have volunteered to do.
00:38:26I promise no one will know.
00:38:28Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name or mention what he promised to do today so long as Alistair
00:38:34is alive.
00:38:35This is my command under penalty of death.
00:38:47Tres days...
00:38:48Tres days...
00:38:50Tres days old, God.
00:39:12Just as I had hoped, the manor was quiet this evening.
00:39:16There would be no family around to see me arriving from my secret trip to the capital.
00:39:21Though perhaps I've spoken too soon.
00:39:25They seem angry.
00:39:26You did.
00:39:28And where have you been?
00:39:29There are dragons on the loose, boy.
00:39:32You should be guarding this manor with your life, not disappearing like a common coward.
00:39:36Forgive me, my lord.
00:39:39A stable rat dressed as a prince.
00:39:41You probably stole these clothes.
00:39:43You're lying!
00:39:44A thief in fancy clothes.
00:39:47Are the clothes we give you not enough?
00:39:49Did you have to go steal these?
00:39:58Yet again, you embarrass our family.
00:40:01Your stolen clothes don't look so nice now.
00:40:03Come on, Kaya.
00:40:04Ignore him.
00:40:05You are just a stable boy.
00:40:07The mud is where you belong and where you should stay.
00:40:16In three days, I will be gone.
00:40:31I will be gone.
00:40:33Tell me, when do you plan to tell the Quinns that you volunteered as the dragon sacrifice?
00:40:37You know, but how?
00:40:42People see me as nothing more than a loyal butler, but there is more to me than meets the eye.
00:41:00I've decided not to tell them.
00:41:02I've decided not to tell them.
00:41:02They'll find out soon enough.
00:41:04Will you keep this between us?
00:41:07Yes.
00:41:08I will keep your secret.
00:41:09The realm needs a sacrifice, not a family scandal.
00:41:12A heart can break twice, boy.
00:41:14Once from cruelties and once from silence.
00:41:19Then let mine break quietly.
00:41:23Emerus was the man who found me as a baby.
00:41:25Later, he would come to work for my family.
00:41:28I know I can trust him.
00:41:30Certainly more than my family.
00:41:35That scream came from Lady Quinn's rose garden.
00:41:38Mother!
00:41:44My roses.
00:41:46My beautifully, innocent roses.
00:41:49They're dead.
00:41:54Mother, someone put salt in the soil.
00:41:57Nothing can survive in your garden.
00:41:59Who could have done this?
00:42:00Alistair was angry that you praised my pruning yesterday.
00:42:03That's not true.
00:42:04I've been gone and only just now returned.
00:42:06Gone where?
00:42:07To destroy the evidence.
00:42:08We should search his room.
00:42:13There is nothing to find.
00:42:15I swear, please believe me.
00:42:18There, under his bed.
00:42:30I don't believe my eyes.
00:42:32A sack of salt.
00:42:33Half empty.
00:42:42I told you he did it.
00:42:44Those roses were the one thing I trusted you with.
00:42:48How could you?
00:42:49Oh!
00:42:52I swear I didn't harm the roses.
00:42:54I haven't even been here long enough to do it.
00:42:56You saw me arrive early this morning.
00:42:58That's true.
00:43:00Alistair wasn't here this morning.
00:43:01Yes.
00:43:01Very convenient that he was absent.
00:43:04Almost like he knew he needed an alibi.
00:43:06No, that isn't what I was doing.
00:43:08Then what were you doing?
00:43:09Where were you exactly, Alistair?
00:43:12I can't say.
00:43:13It would all become clear in three days.
00:43:15It's clear to me now.
00:43:17You intentionally destroyed my wife's prized roses.
00:43:20I didn't.
00:43:21Please, Mother.
00:43:22Do not call me that.
00:43:24You've changed, Alistair.
00:43:26I don't know this person you've become.
00:43:28I'm not your mother and you're not my son.
00:43:30My heart is breaking.
00:43:32Her words hurt worse than any beating ever could.
00:43:38First, you crippled Dorian on the hunt.
00:43:40And now you murder Mother's prized Rose Garden.
00:43:43I didn't do any of those things.
00:43:46Isn't it suspicious that Dorian knew exactly where to find the salt?
00:43:50How dare you accuse Dorian!
00:43:58Please, Kaya.
00:43:59Please believe me.
00:44:03Don't hurt him, dear sister.
00:44:05We should feel sorry for Alistair.
00:44:07It's been hard for him to adjust to having me around as a foster brother.
00:44:09But I understand.
00:44:10Dorian, you're so kind despite everything Alistair has done to you.
00:44:14It's a shining light that even I can see.
00:44:17If only they knew the truth.
00:44:20That it was Dorian stabbed himself to turn the Quinns against me.
00:44:23The Quinns family will blame you for this.
00:44:25And love me in return.
00:44:29It doesn't matter.
00:44:31In three days I'll be gone and never return.
00:44:36It took so long to clean the mud off me that I arrived at dinner late.
00:44:39But, to my surprise, I found Dorian sitting in my usual seat at the family table.
00:44:45Excuse me, Dorian.
00:44:47There must be some mistake.
00:44:48You're in my seat.
00:44:49Yes.
00:44:50Rather than fight Dorian, I figured it best to treat him with kindness and hope he did the same.
00:44:56But Lord Quinn had other ideas.
00:44:58The only mistake, Alistair, is you thinking that there is a seat here for you at this table after what
00:45:03you did today.
00:45:04You may dine with the servants.
00:45:07Until you stop these desperate cries for attention, you will remain as you were when we found you.
00:45:12An outsider.
00:45:17Yes, my lord.
00:45:19Father, you'll regret the way you've treated me when I'm gone.
00:45:22If you only knew that I've already promised to save your life.
00:45:33Now that he's washed the mud off his stolen clothes, I'd like to propose a toast to Alistair, the cleanest
00:45:39stable boy I know.
00:45:42If only they knew what I have promised to do.
00:45:45My sacrifice to the Dragon King would earn a real toast.
00:45:49Not this nasty joke.
00:45:56My lords, the family sheep, they have escaped from their pins into the night.
00:46:01How could this have happened?
00:46:04Alistair is the stable boy.
00:46:05It was his responsibility.
00:46:07He must have let them escape.
00:46:10I couldn't believe it.
00:46:11I cared for those sheep and would never let them loose.
00:46:14But there's no time to argue.
00:46:16With dragons in the realm, I must hurry to save their lives.
00:46:29Come on, sheep.
00:46:30Come back to your pens.
00:46:35My worst fear.
00:46:36A dragon I found is home.
00:46:41It would kill me.
00:46:43Now I've never made it to the Vale.
00:46:45Never saved the world.
00:46:48Just make it quick.
00:47:04Why haven't you killed me?
00:47:08Well, there you are.
00:47:11Dory, come to rub it in my face.
00:47:13He has no idea the danger he's in.
00:47:20I won't miss the sight of you scrambling for the world.
00:47:23You see, I was the one who let the sheep out of their pens.
00:47:30I did it because I knew that you would be blamed.
00:47:33There is only room for one of us in house, Quinn.
00:47:36And it will be me.
00:47:40Finally, Dorian admits his plan.
00:47:43He wants to make my family hate you and love him.
00:47:51But Dorian has no idea what danger he's gotten us into.
00:47:54I need to act now or we both will die.
00:47:58Brother, watch out!
00:48:16Alistair attacked me.
00:48:18He spooked the sheep and caused a stampede.
00:48:22It's not true.
00:48:23There was a dragon.
00:48:24I was only trying to save Dorian.
00:48:26The dragon that almost burnt us both alive has disappeared.
00:48:29Where has this dragon gone?
00:48:31Why do you keep lying?
00:48:33Father, please, don't be so hard on Alistair.
00:48:35He only lies like this because he is so jealous of me.
00:48:50Father, please, don't be so jealous of me.
00:48:58I'm sorry.
00:48:59Don't be so jealous of you.
00:49:00Never mind.
00:49:03Father.
00:49:04Father.
00:49:06It's time to stay here.
00:49:18My hidden magic will reset your broken bones, but it will be painful.
00:49:28The pain of Emerus setting my bones back into place was great,
00:49:31but nothing compared to the pain of how my family treats me.
00:49:37You have done so much for the Quint.
00:49:41You saved your sister Kaya's life.
00:49:46Don't worry, Kaya, I'm here.
00:49:50Alistair, go. Save yourself. I'm done for, brother.
00:49:57The hell you are! You're gonna make it! I'll get you to your horse!
00:50:04Alistair!
00:50:05And nearly lost yours.
00:50:09You nursed your blind sister Elaine through fever.
00:50:13Back! Back!
00:50:15And protected the animals of the stable with your life.
00:50:19But still your family leaves you on the ground like trash.
00:50:23It's true that I love my family even though they treat me so poorly,
00:50:26but they once loved me too, and I can never forget that.
00:50:28It doesn't matter.
00:50:30I'll soon be gone from this place forever.
00:50:33Gone?
00:50:34Gone to where?
00:50:35My sister's heard my secret plan.
00:50:38I've been caught.
00:50:39What have you been hiding from us?
00:50:40I'm not.
00:50:52You're not.
00:50:54I'm not.
00:50:55I'm not.
00:51:04I'm not.
00:51:08Life even I can see.
00:51:10If I'm within you, the truth.
00:51:13That it was Dorian stabbed himself to turn the Quinns against me.
00:51:17The Quinns family will blame you for this, and love me in return.
00:51:23It doesn't matter.
00:51:25In three days, I'll be gone and never return.
00:51:55Our realm is under dragon attack.
00:51:58The only way to end it is for one human to willingly enter the Dragon Valley as a sacrifice.
00:52:05Will anyone step forward to save the realm?
00:52:11I volunteer as sacrifice.
00:52:20You are young to have such a death wish.
00:52:22I'm 18, Your Majesty.
00:52:24My only wish is that my life means something.
00:52:27Very well.
00:52:29You shall travel to the Dragon Valley in three days' time with the arrival of the full moon.
00:52:34And there you will die.
00:52:37Before you go, I must ask.
00:52:38You are so young.
00:52:39Why would you give up your life so freely?
00:52:41I'm an orphan.
00:52:43Found near the Dragon Valley as a child.
00:52:44I have no true family to mourn me.
00:52:47That is because my family already treats me like I'm dead.
00:52:49Though it was not always the case.
00:52:53I was raised a noble of House Quinn by Lord Quinn and Lady Quinn.
00:53:00They took me in as a child and brought me up as one of their own.
00:53:09Lord Quinn taught me to run.
00:53:11I'm doing it, Father.
00:53:12Look!
00:53:13That's it, Alistair.
00:53:14Soon you shall be riding a horse like a knight.
00:53:17My mother, Lady Quinn, taught me to be gentle.
00:53:21Remember, Alistair.
00:53:23Delicate.
00:53:31My sister, Elaine, blinded by a fever, taught me to see more than just what was on the surface.
00:53:53You're so open.
00:53:57Dorian.
00:53:58The son of a defeated noble sent to my father as payment.
00:54:02I thought I found a brother that was like me.
00:54:06An orphan.
00:54:07Except he came from noble birth.
00:54:10But it was not meant to be.
00:54:21While hunted, Dorian blamed me for a stab wound he gave him to me.
00:54:29There is room for only one.
00:54:31A foundling in this family.
00:54:37My family believed him.
00:54:40Father banished me from the house.
00:54:42Ordering me to live in the stables.
00:54:47I've been there ever since, despite the pain.
00:54:50The Quinns loved me for many years.
00:54:53They saved my life.
00:54:55Now I have to repay them by saving their lives and the realm.
00:55:00No one will miss me.
00:55:03You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
00:55:05I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace and you can travel home in my private
00:55:09game.
00:55:10Your Majesty, I do have one request.
00:55:12Name it and it is yours.
00:55:14I wish that my identity stays a secret and no one outside of the people in this room will know
00:55:19what I have volunteered to do.
00:55:21I promise no one will know.
00:55:23Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name or mention what he promised to do today, so long as Alistair
00:55:29is alive.
00:55:29This is my command.
00:55:31This is my command, under penalty of death.
00:55:41Three days.
00:55:43Three days I will be gone.
00:56:06Just as I had hoped, the manor was quiet this early.
00:56:10There would be no family around to see me arriving from my secret trip to the capital
00:56:16Though perhaps I've spoken too soon
00:56:19They seem angry
00:56:22And where have you been?
00:56:24There are dragons on the loose, boy
00:56:25You should be guarding this manor with your life, not disappearing like a common coward
00:56:30Forgive me, my lord
00:56:33A stable rat dressed as a prince
00:56:35You probably stole these clothes
00:56:37You're lying
00:56:39A thief in fancy clothes
00:56:41Are the clothes we give you not enough?
00:56:43Did you have to go steal these?
00:56:52Yet again you embarrass our family
00:56:55Your stolen clothes don't look so nice now
00:56:57Come on, Kaya, ignore him
00:56:59You are just a stable boy
00:57:01The mud is where you belong and where you should stay
00:57:10In three days I will be gone
00:57:28Tell me, when do you plan to tell the quins that you volunteered as the dragon sacrifice?
00:57:32You know
00:57:33But how?
00:57:36People see me as nothing more than a loyal butler
00:57:39But there is more to me than meets the eye
00:57:55I've decided not to tell them
00:57:56They'll find out soon enough
00:57:58Will you keep this between us?
00:58:01Yes
00:58:02I will keep your secret
00:58:03The realm needs a sacrifice, not a family scandal
00:58:06A heart can break twice, boy
00:58:08Once from cruelties
00:58:09And once from silence
00:58:13Then let mine break quietly
00:58:17Emrys was the man who found me as a baby
00:58:20Later he would come to work for my family
00:58:22I know I can trust him
00:58:25Certainly more than my family
00:58:29That scream came from Lady Quinn's rose garden
00:58:33Mother!
00:58:38My roses
00:58:40My beautiful, innocent roses
00:58:43They're dead
00:58:49Mother, someone put salt on the soil
00:58:51Nothing can survive in your garden
00:58:53Who could have done this?
00:58:55Alistair was angry that you praised my pruning yesterday
00:58:57That's not true
00:58:58I've been gone and only just now returned
00:59:00Gone where?
00:59:01To destroy the evidence
00:59:02We should search his room
00:59:08There is nothing to find
00:59:10I swear, please believe me
00:59:12There, under his bed
00:59:25I don't believe my eyes
00:59:26A sack of salt
00:59:28Half empty
00:59:36I told you he did it
00:59:39Those roses were the one thing I trusted you with
00:59:42How could you
00:59:46I swear I didn't harm your roses
00:59:49I haven't even been here long enough to do it
00:59:51You saw me arrive early this morning
00:59:52That's true
00:59:54Alistair wasn't here this morning
00:59:55Yes, very convenient that he was absent
00:59:58Almost like he knew he needed an alibi
01:00:00No, that isn't what I was doing
01:00:02Then what were you doing?
01:00:03Where were you exactly, Alistair?
01:00:06I can't say
01:00:08It would all become clear in three days
01:00:10It's clear to me now
01:00:11You intentionally destroyed my wife's prized roses
01:00:15I didn't
01:00:15Please, Mother
01:00:16Do not call me that
01:00:19You've changed, Alistair
01:00:20I don't know this person you've become
01:00:22I'm not your mother and you're not my son
01:00:24My heart is breaking
01:00:26Her words hurt worse than any beating ever could
01:00:32First, you crippled Dorian on the hunt
01:00:34And now you murder Mother's prized rose garden
01:00:37I didn't do any of those things
01:00:41Isn't it suspicious that
01:00:42Dorian knew exactly where to find the salt?
01:00:45How dare you accuse Dorian?
01:00:52Please, Kaya
01:00:53Please believe me
01:00:57Don't hurt him, dear sister
01:00:59We should feel sorry for Alistair
01:01:01It's been hard for him to adjust to having me around as a foster brother
01:01:04But I understand
01:01:05Dorian, you're so kind despite everything Alistair has done to you
01:01:08It's a shining light that even I can see
01:01:11If only they knew the truth
01:01:14That it was Dorian who stabbed himself to turn the Quinns against me
01:01:17The Quin family will blame you for this
01:01:19And love me in return
01:01:24It doesn't matter
01:01:26In three days I'll be gone and never return
01:01:31It took so long to clean the mud off me that I arrived at dinner late
01:01:34But to my surprise
01:01:36I found Dorian sitting in my usual seat at the family table
01:01:40Excuse me, Dorian
01:01:41There must be some mistake
01:01:42You're in my seat
01:01:45Rather than fight Dorian
01:01:46I figured it best to treat him with kindness and hope he did the same
01:01:50But Lord Quinn had other ideas
01:01:52The only mistake, Alistair
01:01:55Is you thinking that there is a seat here for you at this table after what you did today
01:01:59You may dine with the servants
01:02:01Until you stop these desperate cries for attention
01:02:04You will remain as you were when we found you
01:02:06An outsider
01:02:12Yes, my lord
01:02:13Father
01:02:14You'll regret the way you've treated me when I'm gone
01:02:17If you only knew that I've already promised to save your life
01:02:27Thank you
01:02:28Now that he's washed the mud off his stolen clothes
01:02:30I'd like to propose a toast
01:02:32To Alistair
01:02:33The cleanest stable boy I know
01:02:37If only they knew what I had promised to do
01:02:40My sacrifice to the Dragon King would earn a real toast
01:02:43Not this nasty joke
01:02:50My lord, the family sheep
01:02:52They have escaped from their pins into the night
01:02:56How could this have happened?
01:02:58Alistair is the stable boy
01:02:59It was his responsibility
01:03:01He must have let them escape
01:03:04I couldn't believe it
01:03:06I cared for those sheep and would never let them loose
01:03:09But there's no time to argue
01:03:10With dragons in the realm
01:03:12I must hurry to save their lives
01:03:24Come on, sheep
01:03:25Come back to your pets
01:03:30My worst fear
01:03:31A dragon at my family's home
01:03:36It will kill me
01:03:37Now I'll never make it to the veil
01:03:39Never save the ground
01:03:43Just make it quick
01:03:59Why haven't you killed me?
01:04:03Well, well, well
01:04:04There you are
01:04:06Dorian
01:04:06Come to rub it in my face
01:04:08He has no idea the danger he's in
01:04:13Dorian, you must leave
01:04:14I wouldn't miss the sight of you scrambling for the world
01:04:17You see
01:04:18I was the one that let the sheep out of their pens
01:04:24I did it because I knew that you would be blamed
01:04:28There is only room for one of us in house, Quinn
01:04:30And it will be
01:04:32Me
01:04:34Finally
01:04:35Dorian admits his plan
01:04:37He wants to make my family hate
01:04:39Love him
01:04:46But Dorian has no idea what danger he's gotten us into
01:04:49I need to act now or we both will die
01:04:53Brother, watch out!
01:05:11Allister attacked me
01:05:12He spooked the sheep and caused a stampede
01:05:16It's not true
01:05:17There was a dragon
01:05:19I was only trying to save Dorian
01:05:21The dragon that almost burnt us both alive has disappeared
01:05:24Where has this dragon gone?
01:05:26Why do you keep lying?
01:05:27Father, please don't be so hard on Alistair
01:05:29He only lies like this because he is so jealous of me
01:05:57Father, please don't��
01:06:13My hidden magic will reset your broken bones, but it will be painful.
01:06:22The pain of Emerus setting my bones back into place was great, but nothing compared to the pain of how
01:06:27my family treats me.
01:06:32You have done so much for the Quincy, you've saved your sister Kaia's life.
01:06:40Don't worry, Kaia, I'm here.
01:06:44Alistair, go. Save yourself. I'm done for you.
01:06:52Who the hell you are? You're gonna make it! I'll get you to your horse!
01:06:59Alistair!
01:06:59You nearly lost your horse.
01:07:03You nursed your blind sister and laid to your fever.
01:07:07Back! Back!
01:07:09And protected the animals of the stable of your life.
01:07:13And still your family leaves you on the ground like trash.
01:07:17It's true that I love my family even though they treat me so poorly, but they once loved me too,
01:07:22and I can never forget that.
01:07:23It doesn't matter. I'll soon be gone from this place forever.
01:07:27Gone? Gone to where?
01:07:30My sister's heard my secret plan. I've been caught.
01:07:33What have you been hiding from us?
01:07:35Gone?
01:07:37Gone!
01:07:40So, this has been to you.
01:07:41You Hoş'an!
01:07:42The Stand Richard.
