00:00:02Moon Goddess, a hundred years, you've finally granted us a Moonborn, yet why can't the moonlight of the Sanctuary keep

00:00:09her alive?

00:00:10High Priest, ordinary loonelight is like plain water to her. Within three months, without the moonflame nourishment of the strongest

00:00:16alpha bloodline, she will die.

00:00:18What? I've just opened my eyes, and I'm already sentenced to death. Three months? Can't you people think of something

00:00:24fast? Crying is useless.

00:00:27Send her tonight to the territory of the Silvermoon Pack. The bloodline of the old alpha ronin is the strongest

00:00:32alpha blood on this continent. Only their family can save her.

00:00:36But Silverwoon is in a sensitive period of power transition. The heir Damien is set to fight for succession in

00:00:42seven days. If we shove an unknown infant at them now, will they even accept her?

00:00:46Then we gamble. If the Moonborn dies in the Sanctuary, it's a disgrace to the entire werewolf race. Send her

00:00:53there and she still has a sliver of hope.

00:00:54But High Praster, will the people of Silvermoon believe she is the Moonborn?

00:00:58The crescent birthmark on her forehead is the best proof. Go now. Leave tonight. You must reach the Silvermoon Borderstone

00:01:04before dawn.

00:01:04I am not going anywhere. It seems I don't get a vote. Wait. Silvermoon. Alpha. Sounds pretty badass.

00:01:11Alright. This baby will graciously lower herself.

00:01:14Hey. You are just dumping me by the roadside like that. Even returns aren't this careless.

00:01:19Whatever. Better to rely on myself than others. Wait. Something's wrong with these sounds. What kind of hellhole is this

00:01:26place?

00:01:27Young Master. By clan law, the Border Patrol night run before succession must be completed alone.

00:01:32The old Alpha asked me to remind you. The border's been unrestless lately, with rogue wolves roaming nearby.

00:01:37Restless? Who would dare stir trouble on my Silvermoon border?

00:01:41If those rogue wolves set foot in my territory, I'll make sure they never leave.

00:01:44Young Master. Stay on guard. Old Alpha said.

00:01:49What a nag.

00:01:52Damien! Someone paid a fortune for your life. Tonight you die!

00:01:55Boss, that's him! The heir of Silvermoon!

00:01:58Rogues! Who hired you? Kale? Or those traitors eyeing the Alpha title?

00:02:02Speak! Dead men don't need answers. Boys, get him! Tear him apart!

00:02:11The wound's too deep. The wolf form won't hold much longer. The hunters are tracking my scent. I can't shake

00:02:17them. I need to find somewhere to hide.

00:02:23A cub? Under the Boundary Stone? Who would leave a cub in a place like this?

00:02:27Worry about yourself first. Those killers are about to catch your scent.

00:02:31The blood trail thins out around here. Split up and search. He can't have gone far. We have to take

00:02:35him down tonight.

00:02:36Search carefully. Dead or alive, we bring him in.

00:02:39Don't cry. Little one, please don't cry. If you make a sound, we both die.

00:02:46There's a smell of blood here. It doesn't seem to be just that bastard's scent.

00:02:50Boss, what's wrong? Did you find something?

00:02:52Let's see. What little treasure is hiding in here?

00:02:55Let's see whose little bastard this is.

00:02:57If he comes over, the big guy hiding inside will be found too.

00:03:04Boss, movement over here. Blood trail heading east toward the ravine.

00:03:07The main target's what matters. Move!

00:03:09That sound just now, was it on purpose? She made the pursuiters think she was alone here?

00:03:13Big guy, if you don't run, we're both dead here.

00:03:18What? Who's talking?

00:03:20You're holding a once-in-a-century moon board.

00:03:22That voice. It's coming from inside my head.

00:03:25Jump in and go with the current downstream. Move!

00:03:28Pack bond. The bloodline bond that only triggers between blood kin.

00:03:32The scent's gone! Damn it! Did he sprout wings and fly off? Keep searching!

00:03:39Boss, the current's too strong. Her scent's been washed away.

00:03:42You've saved me twice in such a short time.

00:03:45You're my little lucky star.

00:03:47Thank you, little one.

00:03:49Useless! All of you! Useless!

00:03:52Big guy, I'm hungry now, and I've got less than three months left on this little life of mine.

00:03:56If you really want to thank me, figure out how to keep me alive.

00:03:59I don't know whose child you are, but from tonight on, no one will ever dump you in the wilderness

00:04:04again.

00:04:05I'll protect you.

00:04:06On your Border Patrol night run, you brought back some stray cub with no known origin.

00:04:11In seven days, it's the full moon assembly, the succession duel.

00:04:14And you still have time to pick up a kid?

00:04:16This child, I found her beneath the Sanctuary Boundary Stone, and she saved my life.

00:04:21Father, the rogue wolves who ambushed me last night were bought off.

00:04:25Someone doesn't want me standing alive on the dueling round.

00:04:28Saved you? A baby?

00:04:30I stake my life on it. She is vital to us, to Silvermoon.

00:04:33These two arguing are giving me a headache.

00:04:36Can someone deal with my hunger first? I am starving.

00:04:39She says she's hungry.

00:04:40Who?

00:04:41Never mind. Kitchen, warm milk now. The freshest goat milk.

00:04:45Yes, young master.

00:04:46What's the point of just milk? I can smell it. There's honey cake in the kitchen. That one. Give me

00:04:51a bite.

00:04:52And bring a slice of honey cake. The biggest piece.

00:04:55Now you are learning.

00:04:57Big guy, don't put them on. There is silver powder hidden in the lining.

00:05:01Edgar, you've served my father for 30 years. Always loyal.

00:05:05Yes. Yes, young master.

00:05:08Then you should know I hate anyone touching my gear.

00:05:11Especially on the eve of a duel.

00:05:17Young master, it must be the supplier cutting corners. I'll investigate right away.

00:05:21Is that so? Perfect.

00:05:23Let's see who's bold enough to lay a hand on my man in Silvermoon territory.

00:05:27It won't kill, but it slowly paralyzes the wolf form over seven days.

00:05:32By the full moon duel, you won't even be able to complete the transformation.

00:05:35If the transformation fails and I lose publicly, I automatically forfeit my claim to succession.

00:05:40Young master, how did you find the hidden compartment?

00:05:43Instinct.

00:05:45Where would he get the nerve and the connections to acquire refined silver powder like that?

00:05:50Someone's behind him.

00:05:52Keep the bracer incident quiet.

00:05:53As for Edgar, watch his every move.

00:05:56I want to know everyone he meets and every word he says.

00:05:58Yes, young master.

00:06:00Damien!

00:06:01I heard you were hurt.

00:06:03I was so worried I couldn't sleep all night.

00:06:05Let me see where you're injured.

00:06:07You know, the thought of something happening to you breaks my heart.

00:06:11Let's postpone any talk of the wedding until after the succession duel.

00:06:15Everything is up to you.

00:06:16But you need to take care of yourself and not push too hard.

00:06:23What is this?

00:06:25Since she's the child Damien wants to adopt, then she's one of my juniors.

00:06:30Here, this is our black torn blessing collar with the black rose crest.

00:06:34Take it as a gift from her future mother.

00:06:37Shall I put it on her myself?

00:06:39Don't come any closer.

00:06:41The clasp is pure silver.

00:06:42Don't you know what pure silver against the skin means to a wolf cub?

00:06:45Damien, stop her.

00:06:49That silver clasp on a three-month-old wolf cub.

00:06:52Vivian, do you think I'm stupid or do you think everyone in Silvermoon is blind?

00:06:55My people bought it!

00:06:57Damien, you're actually doubting me over some wild cub.

00:07:00I'm your fiancé!

00:07:02Oscar owes you a little gold statue.

00:07:05Get out.

00:07:06Take your people and get out of Silvermoon Manor.

00:07:08Now!

00:07:10Damien, you'll regret this.

00:07:12You and that wild cub will both regret this.

00:07:15Nice work, big guy.

00:07:16But a woman like that won't swallow this.

00:07:19She has got all the black thorn behind her.

00:07:22Trouble's coming.

00:07:23Kale, your brother's life is harder to end than I thought.

00:07:27Time to change the game.

00:07:28Start with that cub's bloodline.

00:07:30I'll make the very thing he's protecting turn into the knife aimed at his own heart.

00:07:36Father, my brother has been acting completely out of character lately.

00:07:39He came back from a night patrol at the border, hugging some wild cub like it was treasure,

00:07:44tore off his bracers at the training ground, and threw everyone into a panic.

00:07:48And today, he even threw Vivian out of the estate in front of everyone.

00:07:52Have you ever thought about it?

00:07:53That brat shows up at the border.

00:07:56And right after, my brother gets attacked repeatedly, and his temperament changes completely.

00:08:00I heard about Vivian.

00:08:02A solid silver buckle, she had it coming.

00:08:04But that's exactly the problem.

00:08:06My brother is protecting that brat like he's possessed.

00:08:09Uncle, there are some things I didn't dare say before.

00:08:13Our Blackhorn elders have seen the description of that child.

00:08:16This so-called bond.

00:08:17The mind link.

00:08:19In the ancient texts, it is no blessing.

00:08:21It's witchcraft.

00:08:22Hmm, this life's not bad at all.

00:08:24Big guy, at the Full Moon Gathering, remember to announce my adoption in public.

00:08:29I want a proper title.

00:08:30Don't worry.

00:08:31At the Full Moon Gathering, I will announce before the entire pack that I am taking you as

00:08:35my daughter.

00:08:36Well, whoever told you to be this competent, this baby will reluctantly accept you as her

00:08:40dad.

00:08:41Speak.

00:08:42Young Master, the old Alpha side, requested that you bring the young Miss to the council hall

00:08:46immediately.

00:08:47His expression looks terrible.

00:08:49It seems Young Master Kyle and Miss Vivian went over first.

00:08:51Here it comes.

00:08:52First the silver powder, then the pure silver collar, and now they're coming after my bloodline.

00:08:57Don't be afraid.

00:08:59Damien, someone said you've been bewitched by dark magic.

00:09:02Today I want one honest word from you.

00:09:05What exactly do you plan to do with this cub?

00:09:07Father, I plan to adopt her and formally announce it at the Full Moon Assembly.

00:09:11This is not a request.

00:09:13It's an announcement.

00:09:14Father, listen to him.

00:09:15He doesn't even show respect for your opinion anymore.

00:09:18Fine.

00:09:18Quite the announcement.

00:09:19Let's see what sorcery this wheedle possesses.

00:09:24Father!

00:09:25Yes.

00:09:26Let uncle see this little wreck.

00:09:29Well, old man, you sure don't hold back.

00:09:31Almost strangled me to death.

00:09:33Who?

00:09:34Who's speaking?

00:09:35Look down.

00:09:36The one in your hand.

00:09:37Stop glaring.

00:09:38Keep it up and your eyeballs will pop out.

00:09:41Impossible.

00:09:42Pack bond.

00:09:43A blood bond can only be triggered by kin.

00:09:46How can I hear your voice?

00:09:48Don't rush.

00:09:49Let me check the goods first.

00:09:51Hmm.

00:09:51Grandpa.

00:09:52You've still got those mint candies you just swiped in your left pocket.

00:09:56Right?

00:09:56Stop pretending.

00:09:57The wrapper's crinkling.

00:09:59The doctor told you to cut sugar.

00:10:01And you've been sneaking it for 40 years now.

00:10:04You...

00:10:04What nonsense are you spouting?

00:10:07Oh, and in 68 at the tribe festival, you slipped out at midnight to the human market

00:10:12and danced all night with a human girl, then told the whole clan you were in seclusion training.

00:10:17Grandpa, the romantic deaths of your youth are turning out to be quite the story.

00:10:20Father's reaction.

00:10:22He can hear Luna's voice too.

00:10:25Father, do you still think this is a bond forged by dark magic?

00:10:30Child, what did you just call me?

00:10:33I called you Grandpa.

00:10:34If you think I'm taking advantage, you can call me Little Ancestor instead.

00:10:37I don't mind.

00:10:38Either way, you're not getting out of that Grandpa today.

00:10:42Good.

00:10:42What a sharp-tongued little thing.

00:10:44Listen up, everyone.

00:10:45This child can trigger the pack bond between both generations of our father-son line.

00:10:49The blood of the moon goddess runs in her veins.

00:10:52As for the adoption, I approve.

00:10:54Uncle, think twice of unknown origin.

00:10:57Vivian, I haven't settled yesterday's silver clip mission with Blackhorn yet.

00:11:02What standing do you have to speak in my Silvermoon Council Hall today?

00:11:06The old bastard has actually switched sides.

00:11:09No, I must act before they announce...

00:11:12Hold it!

00:11:13Elder Alpha, this concerns the purity of the tribe's bloodline.

00:11:17I have a crucial item to present for inspection.

00:11:19A supplementary page from the ancient genealogy scroll of Silvermoon.

00:11:23The infant girl found beneath the border foundry stone, bloodline traced to the rogue wolf rogue.

00:11:28Mixed blood, unregistered, tribeless.

00:11:30According to clan law article 7, those of mixed blood shall not enter the Alpha line,

00:11:34nor bear the name of Silvermoon.

00:11:37Outrageous!

00:11:38The adoption has already been approved by the Elder Alpha.

00:11:41The clan law stands above all.

00:11:43Esteemed elders, please inspect the wax seal on this roll.

00:11:46The original seal from a hundred years ago.

00:11:49It cannot be forged!

00:11:52The wax seal is indeed genuine.

00:11:55But that child can trigger the pack bond.

00:11:57Father, that move is brilliant.

00:11:59The wax seal is genuine, the scroll is ancient, and the genealogy officer is famously incorruptible.

00:12:04Damien won't be able to defend himself this time.

00:12:06Can't defend himself?

00:12:07Huh.

00:12:07The performance is quite the show, and the props look convincing.

00:12:11Too bad.

00:12:12They're all fake.

00:12:14The clan rules also recognize blood resonance.

00:12:17The fact she can trigger the pack bond of two alphas is iron flask proof.

00:12:22Enchantmainment arts can also counterfeit resonance.

00:12:25Are written records in an ancient genealogy scroll somehow inferior to the tricks of a brat?

00:12:30Send the child to the sanctuary to be raised under their care.

00:12:33It neither harms the innocent nor violates the clan rules.

00:12:36Father, the people's fury cannot be easily challenged.

00:12:39Father, relax.

00:12:40The sealing lax is still warm.

00:12:42Century-old wax would be brittle by now.

00:12:44This is new wax made to look old.

00:12:46The genealogy officer's right hand reeks of wax oil.

00:12:49The real scroll is hidden in his study, behind the painting Moonlit Wolves.

00:12:53Elders, there's no need to argue over the scroll's authenticity.

00:12:57I ask the Elder Council to inspect the seal right now and search behind the painting in the genealogy officer's

00:13:03study.

00:13:03If there's no real scroll there, I'll renounce my claim to succession on the spot.

00:13:07Search!

00:13:08I'll go myself.

00:13:13This child's bloodline cannot be recorded in any genealogy.

00:13:16A century-old seal, cracked and flaking.

00:13:18This is the true scroll.

00:13:20Mercy, old Alpha.

00:13:21Someone put me up to it.

00:13:24You insolent wretch.

00:13:26Forging the clan genealogy and now trying to drag others into it.

00:13:29Take him away for harsh interrogation.

00:13:31Forging the genealogy, sowing chaos in our bloodline.

00:13:34The genealogy officer is hereby stripped of his post and thrown in prison.

00:13:38Whoever is behind this, no matter who it turns out to be, will be punished by clan law just the

00:13:42same.

00:13:42The painting, the wax temperature, the wax oil on your fingers.

00:13:46How on earth did a little thing like you sniff all that out?

00:13:49I'm moonborn.

00:13:50Lies can't hide their stench from me.

00:13:53Dad, from now on, anyone who plays dirty with you, I'll make them run naked in public.

00:13:59Good.

00:14:00Next stop, the four clans' alliance summit.

00:14:03Father's taking you along.

00:14:04A summit?

00:14:04The big stage for all werewolves?

00:14:06Nice.

00:14:07Wait, Vivian lost so badly but didn't panic?

00:14:09This summit might be a trap.

00:14:10Vivian, this is the silencing potion you asked for.

00:14:15Alpha's tongue numb as stone, wolf form agitated, unable to speak a word in his defense.

00:14:22At the summit, I guarantee Damian won't utter a single word.

00:14:26Damian, at the summit, I'll ruin your name so you won't even have the right to defend yourself.

00:14:33The four clans' alliance summit.

00:14:36Once every ten year, Grandpa's taking you.

00:14:40Let every alpha out there see what a treasure Silvermoon has found.

00:14:44Not bad, not bad.

00:14:46My grand tour is about to begin.

00:14:47Grandpa, remember to pack me lots of good food.

00:14:50Father, this year's summit is hosted by Blackhorn.

00:14:53I know.

00:14:54All the more reason not to flinch.

00:14:56Silvermoon has nothing to hide, so I'm not afraid of whatever trap they're setting.

00:15:00Walking the straight path doesn't guard against dirty tricks, old man.

00:15:04A sale contract for the northern woodlands signed in Damian's own hand.

00:15:08Selling the land to a human logging company for 30% of market value.

00:15:12Selling off ancestral property in secret, aiding the human enemy.

00:15:15Either charge is enough to bury him at the summit.

00:15:17The signature, the wolf steel, the date.

00:15:20Even the paper is aged.

00:15:21Kale, this handiwork is far more ruthless than your brother.

00:15:26I grew up copying his handwriting at his heels.

00:15:28I can trace his signature with my eyes closed.

00:15:31As for the seal paste, Edgar made me an impression long ago.

00:15:34The contract is the knife, but we still need an excuse to hand it over.

00:15:38Damian's tongue is too sharp.

00:15:41Tongue branding potion.

00:15:43Colorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in wine.

00:15:45Once the alpha drinks it, his tongue goes numb, his wolf side grows agitated,

00:15:49and the more he panics, the less he can get a single word out.

00:15:52The effect lasts two hours.

00:15:54Two hours?

00:15:55More than enough.

00:15:58Public trial, conviction, stripping of inheritance, all in one suite.

00:16:04After the summit, Silvermoon is mine, and the marriage stands.

00:16:08Only this time, the one standing beside you will be me.

00:16:13Fine. Whoever becomes Alpha will be my husband.

00:16:16All I, Vivian, want is the position of Alpha's wife.

00:16:19And that moon-born brat?

00:16:21Her blood is of great use to me.

00:16:23The brat is mine.

00:16:25A mongrel. Do whatever you want with her.

00:16:28But chill down my neck.

00:16:30Dad, at this summit, someone has definitely prepared a big gift for us.

00:16:36Scared?

00:16:37Remember, at the summit, don't touch a single drop of anything that goes into your mouth.

00:16:42Did you hear?

00:16:43Damien of Silvermoon adopted some wild brat.

00:16:46Vivian was thrown out of the manor in front of everyone.

00:16:48With Blackthorn hosting this time, the show's about to begin.

00:16:51Uncle, Damien, you must be tired from the journey.

00:16:54Oh, you brought the little one too.

00:16:56Don't touch me.

00:16:57Something's off about this woman's scent under the rouge.

00:17:00There is a bitter almond smell, like medicine.

00:17:03Everyone, bear witness.

00:17:04I was foolish the other day and gave the child an unsuitable gift.

00:17:06Today, as the host of the Blackthorn family, I offer Damien an apology.

00:17:10This cup of Moonspring wine is the finest we have at Blackthorn.

00:17:13If you drink it, all past grievances are forgotten.

00:17:15If you refuse, it's a slap in the face to all of Blackhill before the four clans.

00:17:19Don't drink it.

00:17:21The medicinal smell on her hands gets stronger the closer it is to the cup.

00:17:25But Dad, with hundreds of eyes from the four clans watching,

00:17:28if you don't drink, they'll brand you arrogant and rude in an instant.

00:17:34Damien!

00:17:34What is the meaning of this?

00:17:36I was attacked during a night patrol at the border.

00:17:38My injuries haven't healed, and the healer forbade me from drinking.

00:17:42I appreciate the gesture, but Vulcan will drink for me.

00:17:45So Vulcan drinks on your behalf.

00:17:47Brother, since you won't take wine, surely you can accept this cup of ginseng tea?

00:17:52Consider it a toast from your younger brother.

00:17:54The wine is a distraction.

00:17:56The tea is the real weapon.

00:17:57First, they force him to publicly snub Blackthorn's goodwill.

00:18:00Then his own brother offers tea.

00:18:02If he refuses his brother's tea, he is disowning his own blood.

00:18:05It is a trap within a trap.

00:18:07Dad, don't take it.

00:18:08What's wrong, brother?

00:18:09You don't even trust my tea?

00:18:11This?

00:18:12Even brothers are this guarded around each other?

00:18:15Don't drink it!

00:18:18The tea is drunk.

00:18:20Kale, can we talk business now?

00:18:22Business?

00:18:23Gladly.

00:18:24Elders, Alpha.

00:18:24I, Kale, am here to expose a scandal of Silvermoon.

00:18:32This is my brother Damien's signed contract.

00:18:35He sold the Northern Woodlands to a human logging company for 30% of market value.

00:18:39Signature, Wolfseal, date, it's all here!

00:18:42Nonsense!

00:18:43Whether it's nonsense, we'll know once it's examined.

00:18:46Elders, the contract is here.

00:18:48Pass it around and verify it.

00:18:49This handwriting.

00:18:50It's definitely Damien's.

00:18:52The Wolfseal is authentic too.

00:18:54Secretly selling ancestral land to aid humans.

00:18:57This is treason against the tribe!

00:18:59They drugged me.

00:19:00I can't move or speak.

00:19:02What a vicious scheme.

00:19:04Dad, the Wolfmark on the signature is reversed.

00:19:07You sign with your right hand, so the crescent face is right.

00:19:10But on this contract, the crescent face is left.

00:19:12It is a mirror image.

00:19:13Kale traced it with his left hand.

00:19:15You've all seen it.

00:19:16My brother has no defense.

00:19:18His guilt speaks for itself.

00:19:20Damien, I loved you so much.

00:19:21How could you do this to our people?

00:19:22How can you face your uncle or our ancestors?

00:19:25He's given up even defending himself.

00:19:27So it must be true.

00:19:28With no objections raised by the laws of the Alliance.

00:19:32No.

00:19:33No.

00:19:33This is bad.

00:19:34He can't say a single word.

00:19:36At this rate, he'll be convicted.

00:19:37Damien, heir of Silvermoon, has sold ancestral property and aided the human enemy.

00:19:43The evidence is conclusive.

00:19:45This council declares his right of succession revoked, effective immediately.

00:19:49The Northern Forest contract shall take effect at...

00:19:52Hold on!

00:19:53This case is full of holes.

00:19:55How can we rush to a verdict?

00:19:57Brother, the Alliance law is right here.

00:20:00Are you trying to bend it for personal reasons?

00:20:04The facts are plain to see.

00:20:05The contract, the signatures, the seals are all complete.

00:20:09And Damien can't even speak for himself.

00:20:11Isn't that enough?

00:20:12Brother, stop struggling.

00:20:14I'll keep your Alpha seat warm for you.

00:20:17And that little bastard in your arms?

00:20:19Don't worry.

00:20:20I'll take good care of him too.

00:20:23Look, everyone.

00:20:24The evidence is irrefutable.

00:20:26And he still tries to strike his own brother.

00:20:28A madman who would even silence his own flesh and blood.

00:20:31This is too much.

00:20:33They're bullying my dad because he can't speak, huh?

00:20:36Fine.

00:20:36Then don't blame me for making a scene.

00:20:38Do you really think this little lady is just a milk-drinking baby?

00:20:45Shut up!

00:20:49This contract is forged.

00:20:50The wolf mark on the signature is reversed.

00:20:54I write with my right hand so the crescent face is right.

00:20:57On this contract, the crescent face is left.

00:20:59Someone traced it with their left hand.

00:21:01What?

00:21:03Reversed?

00:21:04Look at the contract.

00:21:05Look at the signature.

00:21:07It really is reversed.

00:21:09The crescent face is left.

00:21:11A detail-like signature habit most people would never notice.

00:21:15If Damien hadn't risked everything to speak out,

00:21:18the real culprit would have slipped through today.

00:21:21Kale.

00:21:22Why is your left hand behind your back?

00:21:25Ridiculous.

00:21:26What does the direction of a wolf mark prove?

00:21:28My brother panics and even bites his own brother.

00:21:30Everyone.

00:21:31The contract bears his wolf mark stamp.

00:21:33The date and witness signatures.

00:21:34Are all those fake too?

00:21:35The detail is questionable, but the contract bears the seal as proof.

00:21:40Damien is clutching at straws.

00:21:42Enough.

00:21:44Family Shane should stay behind closed doors, but since we're already here,

00:21:47I, Kale, will not let Silvermount's century-old reputation be ruined overnight.

00:21:51I propose.

00:21:52I'll personally pay to buy back the northern woodland at the original contract price.

00:21:55I'll take the loss, and I'll take the blame,

00:21:57just to keep our ancestral land and spare the tribe's honor.

00:22:00How noble.

00:22:01The younger brother cleaning up the older brother's mess.

00:22:04Touching.

00:22:05Ah-ha!

00:22:06Now that's a true son of Silvermake!

00:22:08Young Master Kale, so loyal and righteous.

00:22:12Good.

00:22:13We'll go with Kale's proposal.

00:22:15What a show of righteous sacrifice.

00:22:17First frame him for the land sale,

00:22:18then play the hero with a cheap buyback.

00:22:20Buying back the ancestral estate at 30% market value,

00:22:23swallowing the land while using him to build your own pedestal.

00:22:26Two birds, one stone.

00:22:28Wait.

00:22:29Stop, Dad.

00:22:30That forest.

00:22:31It is singing.

00:22:32What are you talking about?

00:22:34I can hear it.

00:22:35Deep underground,

00:22:36a silver force is flowing.

00:22:38Singing.

00:22:39It's written in the sanctuary's ancient texts.

00:22:42That's the moon goddess Sacred Spring,

00:22:44lost for a hundred years,

00:22:45right beneath the northern woods.

00:22:47Now you see it, don't you?

00:22:49Why Kale chose that exact land for his scheme.

00:22:51If he gets it back under the gauze of repurchase for 30% of the price,

00:22:55Silvermoon bleeds out to the brome,

00:22:56while Blackthorn quietly swallows the spring.

00:22:59Since there are no objections,

00:23:01the repurchase is hereby...

00:23:03I object.

00:23:04Not one inch of the northern woods will be sold.

00:23:06Anyone who touches it

00:23:08will have to step over my corpse first.

00:23:10Brother, have you lost your mind?

00:23:12To clear your name,

00:23:13you drag the family legacy down with you?

00:23:15You call selling forest land privately treason,

00:23:17I call refusing to touch an inch of it madness.

00:23:19Kale, who's really telling the truth?

00:23:21Do you dare bet against me?

00:23:22Bet on what?

00:23:23Dad, trust me?

00:23:25I do.

00:23:26Then let it ride.

00:23:27I swear on my life as Moonborn.

00:23:29Beneath that land lies something

00:23:30that could drive the entire Wolf Clan mad.

00:23:32I, Damien,

00:23:33first in line to inherit Silvermoon,

00:23:35vow on my right of succession.

00:23:37The northern forest's worth exceeds this entire valley.

00:23:40If it can't be proven within three days,

00:23:42I willingly give up my claim,

00:23:44never to contest it.

00:23:45Has she lost his mind?

00:23:46A patch of old woods barren for centuries

00:23:48worth a whole valley?

00:23:49The heir of Silverwood

00:23:50has been bewitched by that wild cub.

00:23:52Young man,

00:23:53I've walked the northern woods

00:23:54since I was your age.

00:23:55Nothing but rocks and wild trees,

00:23:56too barren even for hunting grounds.

00:23:58Brother, calm down.

00:23:59There's still time to take back your vow.

00:24:01Bet.

00:24:01Bet yourself into ruin.

00:24:02Let the whole Alliance witness.

00:24:04This time,

00:24:04not even the gods can save you.

00:24:07Damien,

00:24:08I truly feel for you.

00:24:09To protect that wild cub's pride,

00:24:11you'd stake your own future.

00:24:13Is it worth it?

00:24:14The vow is made,

00:24:15but who will verify it?

00:24:17How?

00:24:17The authorities still rest with Blackthorn.

00:24:19If they stall,

00:24:20you lose the moment three days are out.

00:24:23The old alpha of Silvermuck.

00:24:24Ronan has arrived.

00:24:26Father,

00:24:26wasn't his convoy supposed to be

00:24:28accidentally blocked on the canyon road?

00:24:30Fine.

00:24:31I was only half an hour late.

00:24:33My son put on public trial,

00:24:36my granddaughter turned into a spectacle,

00:24:38and now someone wants to touch

00:24:39the Silvermoon family estate?

00:24:42Who presided over this?

00:24:43Step forward.

00:24:44Let me see you.

00:24:45Brother Ronan,

00:24:46this was done according to Alliance law.

00:24:48First clause of Alliance law.

00:24:50When an alpha heir is tried,

00:24:51the chieftain of the accused tribe

00:24:53must be present.

00:24:53Am I here?

00:24:54And you started without me.

00:24:56Brother Ronan,

00:24:57please calm down.

00:24:58Young Master Kyle

00:24:59was merely eager to expose the truth.

00:25:03Grandpa,

00:25:04don't just look at the signature.

00:25:05Smell the paper.

00:25:06Smell the ink.

00:25:07Father,

00:25:07the paper and the ink.

00:25:11Cedar pulp paper.

00:25:12Matte ink mixed with obsidian mineral powder.

00:25:15No more than three merchant houses

00:25:16on the entire continent

00:25:17use this kind of paper and ink.

00:25:19Guards,

00:25:20take this to the Alliance forensics office at once.

00:25:23Within the hour,

00:25:23I want to know who's stock

00:25:24this paper and ink is

00:25:25and who they sold it to.

00:25:27Father,

00:25:27it's just a piece of paper.

00:25:28Why go so far?

00:25:30Silence!

00:25:31The heir of Silvermoon

00:25:32is on public trial

00:25:33and you,

00:25:35his own brother,

00:25:35stand on the plentiful side?

00:25:37Honored elders,

00:25:38the paper and ink

00:25:39used in this contract

00:25:40are from a limited batch

00:25:41released by the Black River Guild

00:25:42three years ago.

00:25:43The registered buyer

00:25:44was Greyrock Trading.

00:25:45Upon investigation,

00:25:46Greyrock Trading

00:25:47is a shell company

00:25:47and its actual holder

00:25:48is Young Master Kale.

00:25:51Kale's own company!

00:25:52He bought the paper,

00:25:53he bought the ink,

00:25:54he forged the signature

00:25:55with his left hand,

00:25:55fabricating a contract

00:25:56to frame his own brother!

00:25:57No,

00:25:58impossible.

00:25:59I clearly layered

00:26:00that shell company

00:26:00three levels deep.

00:26:02Did everyone hear that?

00:26:03He said,

00:26:04I clearly layered it

00:26:05three levels deep.

00:26:07Hang on, Dad,

00:26:07we're not done yet.

00:26:08The paper and ink

00:26:09only prove the contract

00:26:10is fake.

00:26:11The woodland hasn't

00:26:12been examined.

00:26:12That's the real game changer.

00:26:14If the contract is false,

00:26:16then my son's oath

00:26:17stands true.

00:26:19In the name of

00:26:19the Lord of Silvermoon,

00:26:21I call upon the Alliance

00:26:22to bear witness.

00:26:23All elders,

00:26:24proceed immediately

00:26:25to the northern woodland

00:26:26for an on-site inspection.

00:26:27As it should be.

00:26:29Move!

00:26:30Fine, let's go.

00:26:31Let's see what a patch

00:26:32of wasteland

00:26:33can possibly show us.

00:26:35Damien,

00:26:35don't come crying

00:26:36to me later.

00:26:37Almost there.

00:26:38The singing is getting clearer.

00:26:40Dad, get ready.

00:26:41This next moment

00:26:42will bring the whole crowd

00:26:43to their knees.

00:26:45Old Alpha,

00:26:46where do we start drilling?

00:26:48Right,

00:26:48he's the one

00:26:48who made the vow.

00:26:50Let him pick the spot.

00:26:51Go ahead,

00:26:53drill.

00:26:53Dig up a pile of mud

00:26:55and tomorrow you'll crawl

00:26:56out of Silvermoon

00:26:57on your knees.

00:26:59There,

00:27:00that crooked old oak

00:27:02ten paces south.

00:27:03Drill here.

00:27:04Drill.

00:27:05Stop the theatrics.

00:27:07Damien,

00:27:08it's still not too late

00:27:09to get on your knees

00:27:10and beg Kale.

00:27:12Wait!

00:27:13There's pressure down there!

00:27:15Everyone back!

00:27:20The moon's sacred spring.

00:27:22It's the moon's sacred spring.

00:27:24The moonlight's sacred spring.

00:27:26Lost for a hundred years.

00:27:28Its waters bring the dead

00:27:29back to life

00:27:30and heal flesh to bone.

00:27:31Blessing our tribe

00:27:32with a century of prosperity.

00:27:34The moon goddess

00:27:35has revealed herself.

00:27:37One valley?

00:27:39This single spring

00:27:40could buy ten valleys.

00:27:42Impossible.

00:27:43I searched for three years

00:27:44and found nothing.

00:27:46How could he just

00:27:47dig it up like that?

00:27:48Told you,

00:27:49before a moonborn

00:27:50nothing stays hidden.

00:27:52Daddy,

00:27:52how do the faces

00:27:53of those who laughed

00:27:54at you feel now?

00:27:55Luna,

00:27:57just who are you?

00:27:58It'd scare you to death.

00:28:00But never mind

00:28:01who I am for now.

00:28:02Look,

00:28:03Grandpa's coming towards us.

00:28:07Good.

00:28:08Good!

00:28:08Excellent!

00:28:09My son hasn't brought

00:28:11shame to Silvermoon.

00:28:12You've won Silvermoon

00:28:13a merit unseen

00:28:14in a hundred years!

00:28:15You all saw it.

00:28:16The contract was forged

00:28:17and my son was wronged.

00:28:19The Sacred Spring appeared

00:28:20and it was my son

00:28:21who swore to protect it.

00:28:22Today's humiliation

00:28:23Silvermoon will remember.

00:28:24Today's merit

00:28:25no one can erase!

00:28:26Hurrah!

00:28:28Ronan,

00:28:29you've raised your son well.

00:28:32Young Master Damien

00:28:33has both courage

00:28:34and wits.

00:28:35Silvermoon has a worthy heir.

00:28:37Ronan,

00:28:38the Sacred Spring

00:28:39is impressive,

00:28:40but it was discovered

00:28:41at the must

00:28:42hosted by my Blackthorn family.

00:28:44By Alliance custom,

00:28:46shouldn't the benefits

00:28:46custom?

00:28:47The Sacred Spring

00:28:48lies beneath

00:28:49Silvermoon's ancestral land.

00:28:50You won't even get

00:28:51a sip of the broth.

00:28:52Pass my order.

00:28:54Richly reward Damien.

00:28:56Let him pick

00:28:56any three treasures

00:28:57from the vault.

00:28:58Double the guard force

00:28:59and the succession duel

00:29:00will proceed as scheduled.

00:29:02Let's see who dares

00:29:03challenge Silvermoon's hero now.

00:29:05Father,

00:29:06Elders,

00:29:08I cannot claim

00:29:09this merit.

00:29:10Silver powder

00:29:11on the bracer,

00:29:12she gave the warning.

00:29:13The reverse mark

00:29:14on the contract,

00:29:14she saw through it.

00:29:16This Sacred Spring,

00:29:17she heard it.

00:29:18The only thing

00:29:19I, Damien,

00:29:19did from start to finish

00:29:20was trust her.

00:29:22An infant?

00:29:23This little brat

00:29:24found the Sacred Spring.

00:29:26Pack Bond,

00:29:27could the legend be true?

00:29:29Absurd!

00:29:30Damien,

00:29:30you would heap

00:29:30even the Sacred Spring's

00:29:31credit onto the stray

00:29:32just to raise her worth?

00:29:33What could a nursing babe

00:29:34possibly understand?

00:29:35She understood enough.

00:29:36to tell me

00:29:37in the dead silence

00:29:38of the trial

00:29:39that your dear ally

00:29:40is left-handed.

00:29:47The Moon Goddess

00:29:48has shown herself.

00:29:50This child truly

00:29:52is the one chosen

00:29:53by the Moon Goddess.

00:29:56Listen up.

00:29:58I, Ronan,

00:29:59Lord of the Silvermoon Clan,

00:30:00by the name

00:30:01of the Moon Goddess

00:30:02and our ancestors,

00:30:03hereby declare

00:30:04this girl Luna

00:30:06is made Princess

00:30:07of the Silvermoon.

00:30:08She has entered

00:30:09into the Alpha Bloodline

00:30:10with full rights

00:30:11equal to my own kin.

00:30:13To see the Princess

00:30:14is to see

00:30:15the Moon Goddess's envoy.

00:30:17Any who defy this order

00:30:18will be judged

00:30:19as traitors to the clan.

00:30:20Wait, wait, Princess.

00:30:22I went from

00:30:23abandoned roadside baby

00:30:24to the top in one week.

00:30:26Calm down, Luna.

00:30:27Stay dignified.

00:30:28No, forget it.

00:30:29Today I am putting

00:30:29my hands on my hips

00:30:31and laughing.

00:30:32You little brat.

00:30:33You've landed

00:30:34a real treasure this time.

00:30:36You'd better protect

00:30:37her with your life.

00:30:38Yes, Father.

00:30:39I will protect her

00:30:40with my life.

00:30:41Princess.

00:30:42The stray pup

00:30:43stepped over me

00:30:43to become Princess.

00:30:45It's over.

00:30:46Completely over.

00:30:48Vivian, I, Blackhorn,

00:30:49spent decades planning

00:30:50and it's all been ruined

00:30:51by you and that useless fool.

00:30:52Now that there's

00:30:53a moonborn princess,

00:30:54do you think

00:30:54he'd even look at you?

00:30:55Take back the Alpha's

00:30:56wife position.

00:30:57If you can't,

00:30:57then don't call me father.

00:30:59Damien,

00:31:00you won't have me,

00:31:01is that it?

00:31:02Fine, fine.

00:31:03The wolf clan

00:31:04has one iron rule

00:31:05above all others,

00:31:06the fated mate bond.

00:31:08Once I become

00:31:08the moon goddess's

00:31:09chosen mate,

00:31:10let's see who dares

00:31:11to cast me out.

00:31:14Huh.

00:31:15There is a scent

00:31:15in the crowd,

00:31:16exactly like that

00:31:17pure silver collars rouge,

00:31:19mixed with the stench

00:31:20of spelling.

00:31:21Father, don't get

00:31:21too excited.

00:31:22There is a new whiff

00:31:23of conspiracy.

00:31:25Vivian?

00:31:26Just about.

00:31:27She won't let it go.

00:31:28This time her tricks

00:31:29will only be dirtier.

00:31:31Honey cakes

00:31:31in endless supply,

00:31:33holy spring milk

00:31:34to my heart's content,

00:31:35and a princess title.

00:31:37Luna,

00:31:38oh Luna,

00:31:39is this the peak

00:31:40of a wolf's life?

00:31:42Damien,

00:31:42I know I was wrong.

00:31:43The collar,

00:31:44the summit,

00:31:44it was all my family's doing.

00:31:46I had no choice.

00:31:47These past few days

00:31:48I've come to realize

00:31:49I truly love this child.

00:31:51Look,

00:31:51I've made her a silver moonlock

00:31:52and even went to the shrine

00:31:53to ask for a blessing.

00:31:55Damien,

00:31:55let me raise her with you.

00:31:57Every cub needs a mother,

00:31:58doesn't she?

00:32:00Get your paws off me.

00:32:02You stink of spelling

00:32:03and you want to hold me.

00:32:05Father,

00:32:05throw her out,

00:32:06wait.

00:32:06Don't throw her out yet.

00:32:08I smell something

00:32:08on her neck.

00:32:11Vivian,

00:32:12listen carefully.

00:32:13First,

00:32:13Luna has a father.

00:32:14She doesn't need a mother.

00:32:15Second,

00:32:16I formally petitioned father

00:32:17to annul the engagement

00:32:18between Silvermoon

00:32:19and Blackhorn.

00:32:20Annul the engagement?

00:32:21It was witnessed

00:32:22by the Council of Elders

00:32:23and sworn before

00:32:24the Moon Goddess.

00:32:25You think you can just annul it?

00:32:27I didn't know

00:32:27you'd use pure silver

00:32:28on an infant

00:32:29when I took that oath.

00:32:30I'm calling off this marriage

00:32:32no matter what.

00:32:33Mate Mark.

00:32:34Three nights ago,

00:32:35under the full moon,

00:32:36the Moon Goddess

00:32:37came to me in a dream

00:32:38and bound us

00:32:39as destined mate.

00:32:39The mark is proof.

00:32:41By the Iron Law

00:32:42of the werewolves,

00:32:42anyone who rejects

00:32:43a destined mate

00:32:44defies the Moon Goddess

00:32:45and brings a curse

00:32:46upon the entire pack.

00:32:47Do you dare break

00:32:48the engagement?

00:32:48Do you dare bring

00:32:49divine punishment

00:32:50down on all of Silvermoon?

00:32:53The destined mark!

00:32:55The mate chosen

00:32:56by the Moon Goddess.

00:32:58What are we to do?

00:33:00Destined mates?

00:33:01The Moon Goddess

00:33:01came to her?

00:33:03Sister,

00:33:03before you spin

00:33:04your little story,

00:33:05maybe deal with

00:33:05the props first?

00:33:06That mark of yours

00:33:07smells like paint.

00:33:09Rest assured,

00:33:10the spell ink

00:33:11is made from

00:33:12Moon Fluorite Powder

00:33:13mixed with Mermaid Gelity.

00:33:15It shimmers in light.

00:33:16Under the full moon,

00:33:17it even glows silver.

00:33:19Not even a healer

00:33:20could tell it's fake.

00:33:22I'll bear the pain.

00:33:23With this,

00:33:24even the Moon Goddess

00:33:25will be on my side.

00:33:27Damien,

00:33:27the Alpha Seat

00:33:28is Luna.

00:33:29It belongs to me.

00:33:30So what if she's

00:33:31a moon-born princess?

00:33:32She'll have to

00:33:33call me Mother.

00:33:34Damien,

00:33:34I know you can't

00:33:35accept this all at once.

00:33:36That's fine.

00:33:37I can wait.

00:33:39Until you come around?

00:33:40Until the whole pack

00:33:41convinces you

00:33:42to come around?

00:33:43After all,

00:33:44no one can defy

00:33:45the Moon Goddess's will.

00:33:46Nice performance,

00:33:47but the materials

00:33:48are all wrong.

00:33:49Dad,

00:33:50lean in closer.

00:33:51A real mark

00:33:51is carved into the bloodline

00:33:53by the Moon Goddess's power,

00:33:54and it smells like moonlight.

00:33:56Hers?

00:33:56It reeks of

00:33:57Moon Fluorite Powder

00:33:58mixed with Gelatin.

00:33:59In plain terms,

00:34:00it's a tattoo.

00:34:01A cheap one at that.

00:34:02Damien,

00:34:03you finally...

00:34:06Vivian,

00:34:06did you change

00:34:07your perfume?

00:34:08W-what?

00:34:09Nothing.

00:34:10Just caught a whiff

00:34:11of the studio on you.

00:34:12You...

00:34:13You must be joking.

00:34:14Here is the best part.

00:34:16The true mark is mutual.

00:34:17One on each,

00:34:18attuned to the other.

00:34:19She has got hers.

00:34:20Where is yours?

00:34:21Make her search you

00:34:22for the matching mark

00:34:23in front of everyone.

00:34:24You've all heard it.

00:34:25Vivian claims

00:34:26the Moon Goddess

00:34:27bound us as fated mates.

00:34:28Tonight,

00:34:29before these elders,

00:34:30let it be witnessed.

00:34:31Search every inch of me.

00:34:33If there's half a matching mark,

00:34:34I'll marry her on the spot.

00:34:36If there isn't,

00:34:37she can explain

00:34:38to the whole pack

00:34:39where that mark came from.

00:34:40Well said.

00:34:42The fated marks

00:34:43come in pairs,

00:34:44yin and yang.

00:34:45The old texts

00:34:46do record as much.

00:34:47You...

00:34:48Damien,

00:34:49perhaps the mark

00:34:50has yet to appear on you.

00:34:52The Moon Goddess

00:34:52reveals her signs

00:34:54in her own time.

00:34:55As for whether

00:34:56there's an order to it,

00:34:57this old wolf

00:34:58knows a time-tested way

00:34:59to find out at once.

00:35:04You little thing.

00:35:05Your dad almost

00:35:07got checkmated

00:35:07by that fake mark

00:35:08just now,

00:35:09and you hid inside

00:35:10watching the show?

00:35:11Grandpa,

00:35:12the show is just starting.

00:35:13That thing reeks of paint.

00:35:15I smelled it a mile away.

00:35:16First,

00:35:16the mark is a tattoo.

00:35:18The ink is spelling.

00:35:19Second,

00:35:20there are no more

00:35:20than three witches

00:35:21on the whole continent

00:35:22who can mix that ink,

00:35:23and one lives right here

00:35:24in the Blackthorn Territory.

00:35:26Third,

00:35:26the Destin marks

00:35:27come in pairs,

00:35:29and Damien doesn't

00:35:30have the matching one,

00:35:30so she said,

00:35:32the manifestation

00:35:32has an order,

00:35:34classic, stalling.

00:35:35Are you sure?

00:35:36When has this baby's nose

00:35:37ever been wrong?

00:35:39You just set the stage

00:35:40and watch her

00:35:41take her makeup off

00:35:42in public.

00:35:43Uncle,

00:35:44you look so kind

00:35:45holding the baby.

00:35:49Good child,

00:35:50well said.

00:35:51Destined mates,

00:35:52ordained by the moon goddess,

00:35:53this is a joyous thing.

00:35:54Uncle,

00:35:54you agree?

00:35:55How could something

00:35:56this sacred

00:35:56be decided

00:35:57by my word alone?

00:35:59Since it's a mark

00:36:00granted by the moon goddess,

00:36:01then it should follow

00:36:02the oldest rites.

00:36:03Let the moon goddess

00:36:05herself verify

00:36:06its authenticity.

00:36:07Vivian,

00:36:08do you dare?

00:36:11Verify the mark?

00:36:13Uncle,

00:36:13our clan hasn't

00:36:14performed this right

00:36:15in centuries.

00:36:15Is there really a need?

00:36:17What's wrong?

00:36:18Afraid the mark

00:36:19ordained by the moon goddess

00:36:20can't stand the loon light?

00:36:22Exactly.

00:36:23Real gold

00:36:24fears no fire.

00:36:25Of course not.

00:36:26Since Uncle

00:36:27insists on the verification,

00:36:28Vivian will comply.

00:36:30Fine.

00:36:30Let them verify.

00:36:31The witch said

00:36:32even healers

00:36:33can't detect this ink.

00:36:34Good.

00:36:35Tomorrow night

00:36:35is the full moon.

00:36:36We'll hold the rite

00:36:37of moonlight verification

00:36:38by the sacred spring.

00:36:40I invite the elders

00:36:41stationed from all

00:36:42four clans

00:36:43to witness.

00:36:44It'll be fine.

00:36:45Even healers

00:36:46can't detect it.

00:36:47What harm

00:36:48can some dusty

00:36:48old ritual do?

00:36:49Dad,

00:36:50tomorrow night

00:36:51make sure

00:36:52Miss Vivian

00:36:53gets a good spot.

00:36:54The brighter...

00:36:55The moonlight seal

00:36:56ceremony dates back

00:36:57to our ancestors.

00:36:58Those marked by destiny

00:37:00bear the power

00:37:01of the moon goddess.

00:37:02By the sacred spring,

00:37:03under the full moon's light,

00:37:05a true mark gleams silver

00:37:07and reflects twin moon.

00:37:08A false mark

00:37:09cannot hide.

00:37:10Let the bearer

00:37:11of the mark

00:37:11step into the moonlight.

00:37:13It's beautiful.

00:37:15This doesn't look fake at all.

00:37:18Elders, look.

00:37:19The mark shines

00:37:20under the moonlight.

00:37:21This is exactly

00:37:22the moon goddess.

00:37:24The second step

00:37:25of the ancient route.

00:37:26Cleanse your hands

00:37:28in the sacred spring.

00:37:29Let the spring's mist

00:37:30anoint the mark

00:37:31and invite the moon goddess

00:37:33to verify it herself.

00:37:35It's fading!

00:37:36The mark is fading!

00:37:37That's clearly paint!

00:37:39It's a tattoo!

00:37:40Forging the mark

00:37:40of destiny!

00:37:41How dare she!

00:37:43This is the greatest

00:37:43blasphemy against

00:37:44the moon goddess.

00:37:45By clan law,

00:37:46this is a grave crime.

00:37:48No, that's not true!

00:37:49Something's wrong

00:37:49with the spring water!

00:37:50Damien!

00:37:51Did you swap my...

00:37:52The water was drawn

00:37:52under the full watch

00:37:53of the elder

00:37:54and the rite follows

00:37:55the ancient custom

00:37:56from 300 years ago.

00:37:57Vivian,

00:37:58the moon goddess

00:37:58has passed judgment.

00:37:59What do you have to say now?

00:38:00This unmasking scene,

00:38:02I give it a perfect score.

00:38:03All the elders

00:38:04have witnessed it

00:38:05with their own eyes.

00:38:06Vivian,

00:38:07forging the mark

00:38:08of the fated mate,

00:38:09falsely claiming

00:38:10the moon goddess's will,

00:38:11coercing a marriage bond,

00:38:12blaspheming the divine.

00:38:14This is a grave crime

00:38:15among our wolf clan.

00:38:18Uncle,

00:38:19please have mercy!

00:38:20I was momentarily blinded!

00:38:22I love Damien too much!

00:38:23I've gone mad with love!

00:38:25Love him.

00:38:26What you love

00:38:27is the position

00:38:27of Alpha's wife.

00:38:29From the pure silver collar

00:38:30to the fake mark,

00:38:32every move you've made

00:38:33has been aimed

00:38:33at taking a life.

00:38:35Lord Ronan,

00:38:36even if my daughter

00:38:37has heard gravely,

00:38:38it was out of passion.

00:38:39This marriage alliance

00:38:40was decreed

00:38:41by the Council of Elders.

00:38:42How can't the foolishness

00:38:44of children dissolve?

00:38:45Alliance?

00:38:46The bond between our clans

00:38:48is built on honor,

00:38:49not deceit.

00:38:50Guards,

00:38:51open the book

00:38:52of ancient rites

00:38:53to page 7.

00:38:54Read it to him!

00:38:54Clan law,

00:38:55page 7,

00:38:56article 3.

00:38:57Whosoever forges

00:38:58the mark of heavenly mandate

00:38:59shall be deemed

00:39:00to have blasphemed

00:39:01the moon goddess

00:39:02and defrauded

00:39:03the entire clan.

00:39:04An annihilation

00:39:05of all marriage vows,

00:39:06stripping of noble status

00:39:07and heraldry,

00:39:08expulsion from the Council,

00:39:09and prohibition

00:39:10for three generations.

00:39:11No!

00:39:12Forbidden for three generations.

00:39:15It's over.

00:39:16My whole line,

00:39:18it's all over.

00:39:19I hereby declare,

00:39:21the betrothal between

00:39:22Silvermoon and Blackthorn

00:39:23is dissolved,

00:39:24effective immediately.

00:39:26Vivian,

00:39:26you are stripped

00:39:27of noble status.

00:39:28Surrender the Black Rose crest.

00:39:30Brought it upon herself.

00:39:32It's all because of you.

00:39:34Ever since you showed up,

00:39:35I've lost everything.

00:39:37You bastard child,

00:39:39how dare you take everything

00:39:40by stepping over me?

00:39:42How dare I?

00:39:43Because I can see through you

00:39:45every single time.

00:39:47Sister,

00:39:48remember tonight?

00:39:49This is what happens

00:39:50when you mess

00:39:51with the wrong kid.

00:39:52Stripped of title,

00:39:54betrother,

00:39:55family future,

00:39:56a person with nothing left

00:39:58is the most dangerous

00:39:59of all.

00:40:02Kale,

00:40:03I've been cast out.

00:40:05The old man will settle

00:40:06the contract with you

00:40:07sooner or later.

00:40:08We're in this together.

00:40:09What hurt Silvermoon the most?

00:40:11That brat.

00:40:13There's a clause

00:40:14in the Blackthorn Ancient Law

00:40:15called Bloodline Challenge.

00:40:17We'll take her back,

00:40:18fair and square.

00:40:20Brilliant.

00:40:21Reclaiming one's own bloodline.

00:40:23Perfectly justified.

00:40:25I'll dig through

00:40:26the Ancient Law Scrolls.

00:40:28A clause alone isn't enough.

00:40:30We need a witness.

00:40:31A witness is easy.

00:40:32In the Blackthorn slums,

00:40:34there are plenty of old wolf hags

00:40:36who'd speak up

00:40:36for a few gold coins.

00:40:39TSK,

00:40:40you hold court, Boeing.

00:40:41Be for mean.

00:40:42This princess call

00:40:43to choose to that.

00:40:48Report!

00:40:49The Blackthorn delegation

00:40:50has arrived outside the estate

00:40:52bearing the Ancient Bronze Scrolls

00:40:54and they demand to deliver

00:40:55a Bloodline Challenge!

00:40:58Bloodline Challenge?

00:41:00That Ancient Law

00:41:01has been sealed in dust

00:41:02for 200 years!

00:41:04Per the Bloodline chapter

00:41:06of the Four Tribes' Ancient Law,

00:41:08any tribal bloodline

00:41:09found living outside its tribe

00:41:10once verified,

00:41:12the tribe of Oraging

00:41:13has the right to petition

00:41:14the Council of Elders

00:41:15for a ruling of return.

00:41:17Blackthorn formally claims

00:41:19the Moonkin Princess Luna,

00:41:21titled by Silvermoot,

00:41:22is in truth

00:41:23a lost bloodline of Blackthorn.

00:41:25We demand an immediate hearing.

00:41:27Bullshit!

00:41:28Luna triggered Pac-Bond

00:41:30with both my father and me.

00:41:31She is Silvermoon blood!

00:41:33Old Alpha,

00:41:34Pac-Bond is not recorded

00:41:36in the Ancient Law,

00:41:37so it holds no weight

00:41:38as evident.

00:41:39But the Bloodline Challenge,

00:41:40written in black and white

00:41:41in the Ancient Law,

00:41:42signed by all four tribes

00:41:44with even Silvermoon's

00:41:45Ancestral Seal upon it.

00:41:48To refuse a hearing

00:41:50is to publicly tear up

00:41:52the Ancient Law.

00:41:55It is true.

00:41:56The Ancestor Seals

00:41:58are all there.

00:41:59By law,

00:42:00the accepting tribe

00:42:01must convene a hearing

00:42:02within seven days

00:42:03and may not refuse.

00:42:05Father, brother,

00:42:06with the Ancient Law before us,

00:42:08personal feelings

00:42:09must be set aside.

00:42:10If Silvermoon avoids the hearing,

00:42:12won't it look like

00:42:13an admission of guilt?

00:42:14We should proceed

00:42:15with the trial.

00:42:17Go ahead and hold the hearing.

00:42:19Witnesses,

00:42:20records,

00:42:20public opinion,

00:42:21I've prepared them all.

00:42:23Damien,

00:42:24this time I'll use the law

00:42:25to take your precious treasure

00:42:26away fair and square.

00:42:28Fine.

00:42:30Seven days from now,

00:42:32the Council of Elders

00:42:33will hold a public hearing.

00:42:35Silvermoon will see this

00:42:37through to the end.

00:42:38Just wait for me

00:42:39to come get you,

00:42:40you little wretch.

00:42:42Laugh all you want.

00:42:43When the hearing comes,

00:42:45I'll make sure you can.

00:42:46find the right key

00:42:47to cry in.

00:42:54Silvermoon is in serious trouble now.

00:42:56Elders,

00:42:56this is birth record

00:42:58from the Blackthorn

00:42:59shantytown

00:43:00we risk the record.

00:43:01The Fiji thing

00:43:02can be refined.

00:43:03The paper,

00:43:04the ink,

00:43:05the registrous seal,

00:43:06it all looks like

00:43:07it'll hold up

00:43:08under scrutiny.

00:43:09Bring in the witness.

00:43:11Honored Elders,

00:43:12hear me.

00:43:12I've delivered babies

00:43:14in the shanties

00:43:14for 40 years

00:43:15that night.

00:43:16The rain poured

00:43:16like the sky

00:43:17had split open

00:43:18the wall

00:43:18where wolf-girling

00:43:19but her cries

00:43:19shook the rafters.

00:43:20I watched her

00:43:21come into this world

00:43:22with my own eyes

00:43:23right there

00:43:24in the Blackthorn shanty.

00:43:27How pitiful.

00:43:29Even the midwives

00:43:30come forward.

00:43:31How could it be fake?

00:43:36The bond of blood

00:43:38is ironclad proof.

00:43:39Brother,

00:43:40just accept it.

00:43:41Dad,

00:43:42don't panic.

00:43:43Thetal woman scent.

00:43:45I am catching jit.

00:43:46Hmm.

00:43:47Cheap tobacco.

00:43:48Rheumatism herbs.

00:43:50And sandalwood

00:43:51mixed with goat smoke soap.

00:43:53That is the scent

00:43:53of four estate.

00:43:54This old woman

00:43:55has benign contact

00:43:56with Simona

00:43:57for more estates.

00:43:58Sinner quarter

00:43:58since the last few days.

00:43:59Someone from the inner quarters

00:44:01in contact with the witness.

00:44:02Someone from the estate

00:44:03has been feeding

00:44:04our secrets

00:44:05to the other side.

00:44:05Old woman,

00:44:07empty words

00:44:08prove nothing.

00:44:09You claim

00:44:10you delivered this child.

00:44:11Where is your proof?

00:44:13The elder asks

00:44:13a fair question.

00:44:15Old hag,

00:44:15if you birthed her

00:44:16with your own hands,

00:44:17what marks

00:44:18does the child bear?

00:44:19There is.

00:44:20The child.

00:44:22She has a

00:44:22Slescent birthmark

00:44:24upon her brow.

00:44:25Right above the center

00:44:26the curve points left

00:44:27and beneath the moon

00:44:29lies a tiny mole

00:44:30no bigger than

00:44:31a pinbrink.

00:44:34Not a single detail

00:44:36wrong.

00:44:37Even the mole's

00:44:39placement

00:44:39exact.

00:44:41Who else would know

00:44:42such fine details

00:44:43but the one

00:44:43who delivered her?

00:44:45Everyone.

00:44:46The birthmark,

00:44:47the tiny mole,

00:44:48all exact.

00:44:49If this is not

00:44:49iron flak proof

00:44:50then what is?

00:44:51I ask the court

00:44:52to verify at once

00:44:53and rule according

00:44:54to law.

00:44:55Heaven has eyes

00:44:56after all.

00:44:57The blood of Blackthorn

00:44:59shall finally come home.

00:45:01See that, Damien?

00:45:03This is what you call

00:45:04a dimensional strike.

00:45:05Not a single detail

00:45:06off.

00:45:07Of course,

00:45:08it can't even see

00:45:08the mole's location

00:45:09in Amir, myself.

00:45:10In the entire state

00:45:11no mereft and fifth people

00:45:12have if ever seen it.

00:45:14The scope?

00:45:14The ends who change

00:45:15midi for sand-wiped

00:45:16new things.

00:45:17Just the four wet nurses.

00:45:18And your good dude

00:45:19alert guard

00:45:20who bring swarm

00:45:21water reverend.

00:45:22Morning in chat soon.

00:45:23Yesterday had a Tracy

00:45:24of Sandalwood in him.

00:45:26Exactly the old

00:45:26off-staying it.

00:45:27Within the last three days.

00:45:29Edgar.

00:45:30The silver thread

00:45:31bracelets couldn't

00:45:32trace your handler

00:45:33so your master

00:45:34was in Blackthorn

00:45:34all along.

00:45:38Brother Ronan,

00:45:40birth records,

00:45:41midwife witnesses

00:45:42and the ironclad proof

00:45:43of the birthmark,

00:45:45all three are in place.

00:45:47Under the ancient law,

00:45:48I can only rule

00:45:49for the bloodline

00:45:50to be restored.

00:45:52Not so fast, Elder.

00:45:54All three proofs

00:45:55in place?

00:45:56I'd like to ask

00:45:57the witness

00:45:58a few questions.

00:45:59What are you trying

00:45:59to do?

00:46:00This is a court of law.

00:46:02Do not intimidate

00:46:03the witness.

00:46:04Granny,

00:46:05you said you've been

00:46:05a midwife for 40 years.

00:46:07Let me ask you,

00:46:08the night she was born,

00:46:09was it raining hard?

00:46:11Hard.

00:46:12So hard.

00:46:13Like the sky

00:46:14had split open.

00:46:15Did the hut leap?

00:46:17Leaped.

00:46:18So bad,

00:46:19we had to hold

00:46:19umbrellas

00:46:20during the delivery.

00:46:21Is that so?

00:46:22But I checked

00:46:23the weather records.

00:46:24Three months ago,

00:46:25the entire Blackthorn region

00:46:26had 41 consecutive

00:46:27days of drought.

00:46:28Not a single drop

00:46:29of rain.

00:46:31Drought?

00:46:32Wait,

00:46:32just now she said

00:46:33the rain came down

00:46:34like the sky

00:46:35had split open.

00:46:36Nonsense!

00:46:37Weather records

00:46:38can be forged too!

00:46:41Forged.

00:46:42The official archives

00:46:43of the Alliance

00:46:44Weather Bureau

00:46:45are open

00:46:45for all elders

00:46:46to verify.

00:46:47Granny,

00:46:48why don't you tell us

00:46:49in a 41-day drought,

00:46:51what rain exactly

00:46:52was your umbrella

00:46:52shielding you from?

00:46:55This old woman

00:46:56remembered wrong.

00:46:58I'm old,

00:46:59anyone can mix up

00:47:00the weather.

00:47:00The child was delivered

00:47:02by me all the same!

00:47:03Yes, the weather

00:47:04is a trivial detail.

00:47:04The birthmark

00:47:05is ironclade proof.

00:47:06How can it be dismissed

00:47:06over the birthmark?

00:47:07I can explain exactly

00:47:08where it came from.

00:47:09Someone sold the child's

00:47:09detailed description

00:47:10from the manor's

00:47:10inner quarters to you.

00:47:11A slip of the tongue

00:47:12you say she remembered wrong?

00:47:13Fine.

00:47:13Then let's see how

00:47:14you remember wrong

00:47:14what comes next.

00:47:16Beneath the border marker

00:47:17stands the barrier

00:47:18jointly raised

00:47:19by the four tribes.

00:47:20At its heart

00:47:21hangs a moon bell.

00:47:22You all remember its rule.

00:47:24The moon bell!

00:47:26The moon bell rings

00:47:27only for a moonblood

00:47:28descendant stepping

00:47:29into the barrier

00:47:29for the first time.

00:47:31Once in a lifetime

00:47:31it sounds but once!

00:47:33A rubbing of the moon

00:47:35bell's ringing log.

00:47:36Three months ago,

00:47:37on the night Luna

00:47:38crossed the border,

00:47:39the bell rang for her

00:47:40at 2.47 a.m.

00:47:42Time, location,

00:47:44bloodline resonance

00:47:45all recorded here.

00:47:47It really is a rubbing

00:47:48from the moon bell.

00:47:50The moonborn bloodline

00:47:51ripples can't be faked!

00:47:52Wait.

00:47:54The birth register

00:47:55says the child

00:47:55was born three days

00:47:56before she crossed

00:47:57the border.

00:47:58Did you all hear that?

00:47:59The moon bell only rings

00:48:00for a moonborn

00:48:01first setting foot

00:48:01in the territory.

00:48:02If she was really born

00:48:03in the Blackthorn shack

00:48:04as the birth register claims,

00:48:05how can a child born

00:48:05in Blackthorn 3's earlier

00:48:06manage to step into

00:48:07any ward for the first time

00:48:08only three days later?

00:48:09Lies!

00:48:09The testimony is fabricated!

00:48:11Forging an ancient law hearing

00:48:13deceiving all four clans

00:48:15is a grave crime!

00:48:16It's not my fault!

00:48:17Not my fault!

00:48:18They forced me to say it!

00:48:20Absurd!

00:48:21The moon bell is old

00:48:23and neglected.

00:48:24It could have rang by mistake.

00:48:25And you base everything

00:48:27on a broken bell.

00:48:28Silence!

00:48:29The moon bell was forged

00:48:31by our ancestors

00:48:32and you dare call it broken?

00:48:37Beautiful!

00:48:38Dad, seal the deal!

00:48:40Keep the witness

00:48:41under tight protection,

00:48:42isolated,

00:48:43and every bite she eats

00:48:44goes through our own people.

00:48:45She's about to name

00:48:46the mastermind.

00:48:47Nothing can go wrong.

00:48:53Did you hear that?

00:48:54Silence her for good.

00:48:56Yes.

00:48:59The bloodliney

00:49:00challenge is rejected.

00:49:01You have a Zavende

00:49:02stow turn yourself in.

00:49:03Don't let the doors here.

00:49:05From this day on,

00:49:07anyone who dares

00:49:08to lay a finger

00:49:09on my granddaughter

00:49:10will be declaring

00:49:12war on Silvermoon.

00:49:13Elder Alpha!

00:49:14Young Master!

00:49:15Bad news!

00:49:16The witness!

00:49:17She...

00:49:18What happened to her?

00:49:21I got here too late.

00:49:23Just one step behind.

00:49:25She had already wavered

00:49:26before boarding the carriage,

00:49:27saying she would name

00:49:28the mastermind tomorrow.

00:49:29Itkilsun,

00:49:30in contact with blood,

00:49:31it is Banadon the Market,

00:49:33on Limilitary Supply

00:49:34and Major Black,

00:49:34Marquette Dealer Skangetit.

00:49:36The Bolt's design.

00:49:37Say it.

00:49:39The three-edged,

00:49:41bobbed tail

00:49:41is standard issue

00:49:42for the Silvermoon God.

00:49:43Using Silvermoon Standard

00:49:45Bolts

00:49:45to kill the Council's witness.

00:49:47Fine.

00:49:48Eliminate the witness

00:49:49and pin the Watcher's steel's mess

00:49:50on us at the same time.

00:49:52Kale, throw whatever you've got at me.

00:49:54I'll take it all.

00:49:55Young Master, it's done.

00:49:57The old hag didn't have time

00:49:58to say a word.

00:49:59The bolts are old standard issue

00:50:01from the armory.

00:50:02No one can trace who handled them.

00:50:03Fine.

00:50:04Dermian, you know how to dig,

00:50:06don't you?

00:50:07Keep digging.

00:50:08And when you're done,

00:50:09we'll see who's investigating whom.

00:50:11Three.

00:50:11The source of the weaponry.

00:50:14The arrow's tri-barred tail

00:50:16is standard Silvermoon Guard issue.

00:50:18And in the past three months,

00:50:20only the West Wing

00:50:20has drawn from the armory.

00:50:22If the witness had lived,

00:50:24the one she named

00:50:25would have been the mastermind.

00:50:27Now that she's dead,

00:50:28there's no testimony to contradict.

00:50:31Who was so desperate

00:50:32to silence her?

00:50:33Who had access to the armory?

00:50:35Who could afford trained killers?

00:50:36Do I even need to say it?

00:50:40Kale.

00:50:42What do you have to say

00:50:43for yourself?

00:50:44Damien!

00:50:45You're spitting venom

00:50:46with no proof.

00:50:47I grieve that witness's death

00:50:48more than anyone.

00:50:49With her dead,

00:50:50the case goes cold.

00:50:51Who does that favor most?

00:50:53Obviously it favors you

00:50:54and that stray mongrel

00:50:55who came out of nowhere.

00:50:57And as for this silencing,

00:50:58who's to say it wasn't staged

00:50:59by the very person

00:51:00pointing fingers?

00:51:02If the witness had lived,

00:51:03she'd have named you.

00:51:04If she's dead,

00:51:05somehow I'm the one

00:51:06silencing her?

00:51:07Kale, with a tongue like yours,

00:51:09it's a waste.

00:51:09You never became a courtroom

00:51:10lawyer.

00:51:11Where's your evidence?

00:51:12Without evidence,

00:51:13every word you say

00:51:14is slander.

00:51:15I'm leaving.

00:51:17That brat,

00:51:18he really is quick

00:51:19with his mouth.

00:51:20Without hard evidence,

00:51:21we can't touch him.

00:51:22Evidence will surface.

00:51:24The silencing job

00:51:25leaves traces.

00:51:26The people use,

00:51:27the money trail.

00:51:28Something always stinks.

00:51:31Dad, wait.

00:51:32He went to the tribe's

00:51:32main treasury today.

00:51:33He touched clan funds?

00:51:34Go.

00:51:35Look into the old hag's affairs.

00:51:36Who she left behind,

00:51:37any recent unusual movements.

00:51:38Make it fast.

00:51:40Sharp nose,

00:51:41little one.

00:51:42Of course.

00:51:43My nose was blessed

00:51:44by the moon goddess herself.

00:52:01Young master,

00:52:02we found it.

00:52:03The old she-wolf

00:52:04had an only son.

00:52:05He owed 80,000 gold

00:52:06in gambling debts

00:52:07at a casino

00:52:07in Black Rivertown.

00:52:08But the day after

00:52:10the witness died,

00:52:11the whole debt

00:52:11was paid off.

00:52:12Principle and interest.

00:52:14Who paid it?

00:52:16The payment went through

00:52:18a private bank ledger,

00:52:19but on the casino owner's

00:52:20receipt stub,

00:52:20the payer signed as

00:52:21Greyrock Trading Company.

00:52:24Greystone Trading?

00:52:26That shell company

00:52:27from the summit.

00:52:27The one buying paper

00:52:29and ink to forge contracts

00:52:30under Kale's name!

00:52:32Paying off the fake witness's

00:52:33son's gambling debts.

00:52:35That was the bribe

00:52:35for her perjury.

00:52:37She's dead now.

00:52:38Final payment settled.

00:52:40The money trail,

00:52:41the timing,

00:52:42the motive,

00:52:43it all lines up.

00:52:44Kale,

00:52:44this time,

00:52:45I've got you by the tail.

00:52:47Nice lie down.

00:52:49But the evidence

00:52:49proved she bribed the witness.

00:52:52Yet Therothatsa Linster

00:52:54still needs the last land.

00:52:56I know.

00:52:58I'll settle

00:52:58every single account

00:52:59with him

00:53:00in front of father.

00:53:09Father, it's me.

00:53:12All checked out?

00:53:14Greystone Trading.

00:53:15A shell company

00:53:16under Kale's name.

00:53:17The day after the witness died,

00:53:1980,000 gold coins

00:53:20cleared her son's

00:53:20gambling debts.

00:53:21Transfer records,

00:53:23deposit slips,

00:53:23time narcs,

00:53:24all of it lines up.

00:53:30Summon Kale.

00:53:35Father,

00:53:36why summon me so late?

00:53:37What's happened?

00:53:39Greystone Trading.

00:53:4080,000 gold coins.

00:53:42Gambling debts.

00:53:44Father,

00:53:45Greystone Trading

00:53:46is indeed a shell

00:53:47under my name.

00:53:48But should a businessman

00:53:49personally review

00:53:50every transaction

00:53:51across his companies?

00:53:53That payment was my manager

00:53:54acting on his own.

00:53:56I'll have the man bound

00:53:57and delivered to the council

00:53:58by morning.

00:53:59A convenient manager

00:54:01acting on his own.

00:54:02The forged contracts,

00:54:04the manager.

00:54:05The bribed witness,

00:54:06the manager.

00:54:09Kale,

00:54:10is this manager of yours

00:54:12also prepared to confess

00:54:13on your behalf

00:54:13that he hired

00:54:14the stray wolves

00:54:15who ambushed me

00:54:16on the mountain road?

00:54:18Brother,

00:54:19watch your words.

00:54:21The patrol unit

00:54:22investigated that ambush

00:54:23for a month.

00:54:24Did they find a single word

00:54:25linking it to me?

00:54:27Without evidence,

00:54:28say that again

00:54:29and I'll take you

00:54:30before the council

00:54:31for slandering your own blood.

00:54:33Do you dare swear

00:54:34on your alpha mark

00:54:35that you knew nothing

00:54:36about any of this?

00:54:37The alpha mark?

00:54:38You think that holds up

00:54:40as evidence in court?

00:54:42Enough!

00:54:45Fine.

00:54:46Real fine.

00:54:48Every single trail

00:54:49you wiped clean.

00:54:50Kale,

00:54:51your methods are far

00:54:52cleaner than your brother's.

00:54:54Father,

00:54:54you flatter me.

00:54:55I was merely...

00:54:56Shut it!

00:54:58As of tonight,

00:54:59you are suspended

00:55:00from all duties,

00:55:01all authority,

00:55:02and all holdings

00:55:02within the tribe.

00:55:04Greyrock trading

00:55:05and all assets

00:55:06under your name

00:55:06are to be sealed

00:55:07and audited immediately.

00:55:09The West Wing Guard

00:55:10is to be replaced,

00:55:11every last one

00:55:12of your men removed.

00:55:14Without my written order,

00:55:17you do not set

00:55:17one foot

00:55:18outside the West Wing.

00:55:20Father,

00:55:21this is house arrest,

00:55:23all because of a few

00:55:24unverified ledger pages.

00:55:25It is precisely

00:55:26because I cannot convict you

00:55:28that you are merely

00:55:28staying in the West Wing.

00:55:30Get out!

00:55:31Until you are proven innocent,

00:55:33do not call me father again.

00:55:41See that?

00:55:43The old man's truly furious now.

00:55:47Young Master,

00:55:48should we inform

00:55:49the other side?

00:55:50Deliver a letter

00:55:50to Vivian for me.

00:55:52Tell her all the usual

00:55:53routes are completely blocked.

00:55:54It's time to take that path.

00:55:56Young Master,

00:55:57that path,

00:55:58do we really have

00:55:58to go that far?

00:56:01I'm the proud son

00:56:02of an Alpha,

00:56:03locked up in my own home.

00:56:05After all this,

00:56:06what do I have left to fear?

00:56:08Get it done.

00:56:10This moon,

00:56:11something soft red,

00:56:12a blood moon,

00:56:13an eclipsy sign.

00:56:14The blued eclipse is coming,

00:56:16one every blued eclipse night.

00:56:17The moonborn spower peaks,

00:56:19and so does Therberus.

00:56:21Dad,

00:56:21I have very,

00:56:22really bad feeling.

00:56:23Very about a

00:56:24Makiti's Brackalina.

00:56:27Young Master,

00:56:28everything's arranged.

00:56:30We have people

00:56:31at the Whitecliff Outpost

00:56:32on the western border.

00:56:33At midnight tonight,

00:56:35they'll manually trigger

00:56:36the border moon bell,

00:56:38forge a distress signal

00:56:39from the Tanglang tribe.

00:56:41They'll light the outpost beacon,

00:56:43stage a gravely wounded senti,

00:56:45and send up three full columns

00:56:47of distress smoke.

00:56:49Make sure the old Alpha

00:56:50believes the Tanglang tribe

00:56:52has been wiped out.

00:56:55Remember,

00:56:56make the signal convincing.

00:56:58My father values alliances

00:56:59above all.

00:57:00The century-old pact

00:57:02between the Tanglang tribe

00:57:03and my silver moon pact

00:57:04means he'll answer

00:57:06any call for aid.

00:57:07He'll definitely lead

00:57:09the troops himself,

00:57:09and he'll bring Damien along.

00:57:13Young Master,

00:57:15forging a tribal distress call

00:57:16is a serious crime

00:57:17under the law.

00:57:18Serious crime?

00:57:19Once I sit in that seat,

00:57:21I write the law myself.

00:57:23Damien,

00:57:23aren't you good at investigating?

00:57:27By the time you return

00:57:28from the western border,

00:57:30your precious brat's hair

00:57:31will already be cut

00:57:32and placed on the altar.

00:57:37Damien,

00:57:37pick dwelled a T-Squad.

00:57:39Sand-dried with Methruth.

00:57:40Might to reinforce.

00:57:44Elder,

00:57:45after I leave,

00:57:47triple the guard

00:57:47on the nursery.

00:57:48Lock every door and window.

00:57:49no one,

00:57:50including those

00:57:51from the west wing,

00:57:52may approach.

00:57:53Rest assured,

00:57:54young lord,

00:57:55as long as this old life

00:57:56endures,

00:57:57the little princess

00:57:58shall be safe.

00:58:00Wait,

00:58:00something soft.

00:58:02On Thever night,

00:58:02the blue eclipse eyes

00:58:03approaching.

00:58:04The western border,

00:58:05just the pinstow being crisis.

00:58:07Thy Sysa Classical.

00:58:08The tiger away

00:58:09from its mountain moon.

00:58:11Lure Theda Garroway.

00:58:12Elder,

00:58:13listen to him.

00:58:13Good girl.

00:58:14Daddy will be right back.

00:58:15Kale.

00:58:15It has to be Kale.

00:58:17Lure them away.

00:58:27The old and the young

00:58:28have all left.

00:58:30Pass the word?

00:58:31Move.

00:58:40They're coming.

00:58:41They're coming.

00:58:42They're coming.

00:58:46Somebody.

00:58:47Anybody.

00:58:49Is anyone there?

00:58:51Can anyone hear me talking?

00:58:56Daddy.

00:58:58Grandpa.

00:58:59Come back quickly.

00:59:03Sleeping drug?

00:59:05I'm only three months old

00:59:06and you use a sleeping drug on me?

00:59:08Have you no shame?

00:59:10Daddy.

00:59:11The badge.

00:59:12If they see the badge,

00:59:14they'll know

00:59:15I didn't wander off

00:59:16on my own.

00:59:22Ah.

00:59:26Baby's gonna puke.

00:59:27This stupid horseback riding.

00:59:29How much further?

00:59:31Just over that ridge ahead.

00:59:32The master said

00:59:33her hair must reach the altar

00:59:35before the blood eclipse moon rises.

00:59:37Altar?

00:59:38Calm down.

00:59:40Calm down.

00:59:40Luna,

00:59:41you can't just die like this.

00:59:44Wait.

00:59:44This smell.

00:59:46Besides the witch's stench,

00:59:48there's also

00:59:49the scent of sacred spring milk?

00:59:51Is there a sacred spring nearby?

01:00:05A moon-born that comes once a century.

01:00:08Pure moon-blood power.

01:00:11What a pretty little thing.

01:00:13You old hag!

01:00:15Get your claws off me!

01:00:16This stench is worse than my diaper

01:00:18that hasn't been changed

01:00:19in three days!

01:00:27Little princess.

01:00:28Didn't see this coming,

01:00:30did you?

01:00:31The elders couldn't take you.

01:00:33The law couldn't take you.

01:00:35But now you've fallen

01:00:36right into my hands.

01:00:39During the blood eclipse night,

01:00:41moon-blood power peaks.

01:00:43The witch's ritual

01:00:44will drain every last drop

01:00:46of power from your blood

01:00:47and transfer it to me.

01:00:51Once I have the moon-blood power,

01:00:54I'll be the true voice

01:00:55of the moon-goddess.

01:00:58Damien, Ronan,

01:00:59all of Silvermoon,

01:01:01they'll all kneel at my feet.

01:01:03You crazy woman.

01:01:06My power is for daddy and grandpa.

01:01:09I'll give it to you.

01:01:15I wouldn't even use it

01:01:16to wash your feet.

01:01:17It'd be too dirty.

01:01:28The red moon reaches its semeth.

01:01:30The ritual will be complete.

01:01:32Watch her closely.

01:01:33If she's rescued before the ritual begins,

01:01:36you'll all die with her.

01:01:40Dad, grandpa,

01:01:41where are you?

01:01:42If you don't come now,

01:01:44this crazy woman

01:01:45is gonna squeeze me dry.

01:01:46Dad, you'll come, won't you?

01:01:49You said if the sky falls.

01:01:51Dad's got it.

01:01:58Old Alpha,

01:01:59what brings you here?

01:02:01We...

01:02:02we didn't light any signal fires.

01:02:11The moon-bell toned.

01:02:12The signal fires are lit.

01:02:13The outpost seems fine.

01:02:15No!

01:02:15A diversion!

01:02:16Back to the pack!

01:02:17Full speed back!

01:02:20Luna,

01:02:21please,

01:02:21nothing better have happened to Luna.

01:02:31It's my fault.

01:02:32I left her at home with my own hands.

01:02:34I fell for the diversion.

01:02:37Search.

01:02:39Dig three feet deep if you have to

01:02:40and bring my granddaughter back.

01:02:42The hidden scently in the back wall

01:02:44was hit by a sleeping dart.

01:02:46The horse tracks lead northwest

01:02:47into the deep mountains.

01:02:49There's only one place and direction

01:02:50worth hiding someone.

01:02:52The abandoned temple of the ancient moon.

01:02:56Young master,

01:02:58the manor's elite

01:02:59were just taken to the western front

01:03:00by your father.

01:03:02The temple is on dangerous ground

01:03:03and we don't know their numbers.

01:03:04We should plan carefully.

01:03:06Plan carefully?

01:03:07She's been kidnapped.

01:03:09Every second we wait

01:03:10puts her in more danger.

01:03:15Young master,

01:03:16someone shot a message arrow

01:03:17at the gate.

01:03:22For my dear brother's eyes only,

01:03:24before blood eclipse moonrise,

01:03:25bring the declaration of abdiction

01:03:27to the temple of the ancient moon

01:03:28and read it aloud

01:03:29before the temple.

01:03:30You step down,

01:03:31she lives.

01:03:32Bring even one soldier,

01:03:33she dies.

01:03:35Kale.

01:03:47Bastard.

01:03:48How could I have raised such a bastard?

01:03:50Old Alpha,

01:03:51this is clearly a trap.

01:03:52If the young mister goes alone,

01:03:53signing means death

01:03:54and refusing to sign

01:03:55also means death.

01:03:56Gather all our forces

01:03:58and storm the temple.

01:04:03No.

01:04:05If we storm the temple,

01:04:07the moment our troops move,

01:04:08they'll notice.

01:04:09Until the ritual is complete,

01:04:11they won't kill Luna yet.

01:04:13I'll go alone.

01:04:15Climb the cliffs behind the mountain

01:04:16and strike when the blood moon rises

01:04:18to bring her home.

01:04:20Young lord,

01:04:22that's dozens of rogue wolf killers.

01:04:25You going alone?

01:04:28Elder,

01:04:29the night she fell into my arms,

01:04:31I took her back alone too.

01:04:33This time will be no different.

01:04:38Go.

01:04:39Bring her back.

01:04:41Not one of you two

01:04:42is allowed to be missing.

01:04:57Climbed halfway.

01:04:59Waiting here is death,

01:05:01so I might as well take a gamble.

01:05:04Dad must be on his way,

01:05:06so I need to crawl out on my own too.

01:05:10Having small hands

01:05:11really puts me at a disadvantage.

01:05:14Fine.

01:05:15This baby isn't going to fight head on.

01:05:17I've got brains to spare.

01:05:23Come on then.

01:05:24This baby wants to see

01:05:25just what this so-called

01:05:26blood eclipse power can do to me.

01:05:29It's outside us grass.

01:05:42come on.

01:05:45After tonight,

01:05:47I'll be the new voice

01:05:48of the moon goddess.

01:05:49The hour has come.

01:05:51Cut another lock of her hair

01:05:52for the altar.

01:05:54Let me go,

01:05:55you bastards.

01:05:56Your filthy hands smell worse

01:05:58from this baby's diapers.

01:05:59I can hear the heartbeat

01:06:01of every wolf

01:06:01within a hundred miles.

01:06:03So that is it.

01:06:05The blood eclipse night.

01:06:07The moonborn power.

01:06:09This is how it is meant to be used.

01:06:20The moonborn cries.

01:06:23How can a three-month-old cub

01:06:25awaken and stop her?

01:06:45Slow down steady.

01:06:47I may have short legs,

01:06:48but I am steady.

01:06:50Dad,

01:06:51get over here.

01:06:53Your daughter's about to die out here.

01:06:55Cubs over there!

01:06:56Grab her!

01:06:58Stay back!

01:06:59Any more and the bridge will snap!

01:07:01You stupid wolves,

01:07:02you're all too heavy!

01:07:10Dad,

01:07:10I'm sorry.

01:07:12I don't think I

01:07:12can wait for you anymore.

01:07:18Rooter!

01:07:32I don't think I can do it.

01:07:33You stupid idiot!

01:07:34Jumping down means death.

01:07:36Don't you get it?

01:07:36Who is going to warn my bed?

01:07:38Daddy's here.

01:07:39Don't be afraid.

01:07:40Damn place,

01:07:41the wind is so strong.

01:07:43You little liar.

01:07:44You're the liar!

01:07:45I'm sorry.

01:07:47Daddy was wrong.

01:07:49Leave no one alive!

01:08:03I'm sorry.

01:08:05Daddy came too late.

01:08:06Not late.

01:08:07Just in time.

01:08:09Let's go home.

01:08:18Speak.

01:08:19Who sent you?

01:08:20We were just paid to do a job.

01:08:22We don't know who hired us.

01:08:24Your employer is in no position

01:08:26to save himself now.

01:08:28The first one to talk,

01:08:30I guarantee as heir,

01:08:31gets an intact corpse

01:08:32and his family left alone.

01:08:35The last one to talk

01:08:37can lie down there

01:08:38and make up the numbers

01:08:39for the ritual

01:08:40they didn't finish.

01:08:42I'll talk!

01:08:43I'll tell you everything!

01:08:44It was young Master Kale

01:08:46from the Mountain Road ambush

01:08:47on the Young Lord a month ago.

01:08:49It was all our job!

01:08:51The money for the hired killers

01:08:52came through the shadow accounts

01:08:54of Greyrock trading.

01:08:56The paper and ink

01:08:57for the forged landee

01:08:59were bought by us for him.

01:09:01The old she-wolf at the hearing

01:09:03was silenced by Kale's personal guard.

01:09:06This kidnapping of the little princess

01:09:09was planned by him

01:09:10and Miss Vivian together.

01:09:12The witch was in charge of the ritual.

01:09:14We were in charge of grabbing her

01:09:16and standing watch.

01:09:17It's all him!

01:09:19From start to finish,

01:09:20it was young Master Kale!

01:09:27Hiring killers to murder his brother,

01:09:29forging deeds,

01:09:31silencing witnesses,

01:09:32kidnapping for sacrifice.

01:09:34Every single charge

01:09:35is a capital assence.

01:09:38Dad,

01:09:39have him sign and fingerprint it,

01:09:41then record a testimony

01:09:42witnessed and signed

01:09:43by the elders of all four packs.

01:09:46Kale's mouth is best

01:09:46at flipping confessions.

01:09:48This time,

01:09:49I'll make sure he can't flip

01:09:50even a punctuation mark.

01:09:52Young Lord,

01:09:53old Alpha,

01:09:54the evidence chain is complete.

01:09:57It's time to close the net.

01:10:06Report.

01:10:07Report.

01:10:07Just intercepted a messenger hawk

01:10:09from the West Wing.

01:10:10Kale and Vivian think their plan

01:10:12has succeeded

01:10:13and are now throwing a grand victory feast

01:10:15at Blackthorn Manor.

01:10:16They've even sent invitations

01:10:17to the four clans,

01:10:18planning to publicly announce

01:10:20the union of two bloodlines

01:10:21and the merging of the clans.

01:10:24A victory feast.

01:10:25Fine.

01:10:26They kidnap my granddaughter,

01:10:28sacrifice my son,

01:10:29and then they celebrate

01:10:30their wedding night

01:10:31and merge the clans.

01:10:33Pass the order.

01:10:34All troops march.

01:10:36I will go myself

01:10:37and offer them

01:10:38my congratulations.

01:10:42A victory feast.

01:10:44Fine.

01:10:45The venue they've prepared

01:10:47will serve perfectly

01:10:48for their judgment.

01:10:49Boys of the four clans,

01:10:51tonight brings double joy.

01:10:54My daughter Vivian

01:10:55and young master Kale

01:10:56of Silvermoon

01:10:57are joined in marriage

01:10:58and from this day

01:10:59the two clans merge

01:11:01under a new leader.

01:11:03Damien has shown himself

01:11:04unworthy

01:11:05and has willingly given up

01:11:06the succession.

01:11:08Within three days,

01:11:09the new Alpha of Silvermoon

01:11:10will be me,

01:11:11Kale.

01:11:12From now on,

01:11:13this entire valley

01:11:14belongs to us.

01:11:16And that little brat's

01:11:17moonborn power,

01:11:18after tonight,

01:11:19it will all be mine.

01:11:27Kale, Vivian,

01:11:29this wedding toast,

01:11:30I'm afraid it won't be drunk.

01:11:33You.

01:11:34How?

01:11:35How is she still alive?

01:11:36It's impossible!

01:11:37Did the ritual even complete?

01:11:39How is she still here?

01:11:41Surprised?

01:11:42Shocked?

01:11:43Your altar has collapsed.

01:11:45Your wolves have turned.

01:11:46Your assassin has confessed.

01:11:51The signed testimony

01:11:52from the rogue wolf leader.

01:11:54Hired ambush.

01:11:55Forged contracts.

01:11:57Silencing witnesses.

01:11:58Kidnapping for sacrifice.

01:11:59Every single crime

01:12:01backed by witnesses

01:12:01and evidence.

01:12:02Envoys from all four clans

01:12:04are here.

01:12:04Look for yourselves!

01:12:07Good heavens.

01:12:09This is an atrocity

01:12:10unseen among the wolves

01:12:12in a century.

01:12:13His own brother!

01:12:15How could he bring himself

01:12:16to do this?

01:12:20Wretched child.

01:12:22Clan law,

01:12:23article 20.

01:12:24Those who murder

01:12:24Bloodkin,

01:12:25desecrate the moon goddess,

01:12:27or harm the young

01:12:27shall be stripped

01:12:28of their bloodline,

01:12:29erased from the clan records,

01:12:31and imprisoned for life

01:12:32in the abyssal dungeon.

01:12:34Do you have anything

01:12:35left to say?

01:12:39Father!

01:12:40In what way

01:12:41am I inferior to him?

01:12:42Just because I was born

01:12:44three years later?

01:12:45Just because beta blood

01:12:46runs in my blames?

01:12:47I've fought my whole life

01:12:49and you never once

01:12:50looked me in the eye!

01:12:51The greatest regret

01:12:52of my life

01:12:53is having looked you

01:12:54in the eye

01:12:54for 20 years

01:12:55without ever seeing you

01:12:56for what you are.

01:12:58Take them.

01:13:01Uncle!

01:13:02I was forced into this!

01:13:04Kale made me do it!

01:13:09Elder Alpha Ronin,

01:13:10the crimes of these

01:13:11two retchels

01:13:11are beyond doubt.

01:13:12Whatever judgment

01:13:13you pass,

01:13:14the four clan alliance

01:13:15stands witness.

01:13:16We will not object!

01:13:17Escort them back

01:13:18to Silvermoon.

01:13:19By clan law,

01:13:20they will face

01:13:20open judgment.

01:13:30Alpha!

01:13:32Move on, princess!

01:13:34Wow!

01:13:35So many people!

01:13:37Dad,

01:13:37now that you're Alpha,

01:13:39does that mean

01:13:39I can have as many

01:13:40honey cakes as I want?

01:13:42As many as you want.

01:13:43Endless supply.

01:13:45Yay!

01:13:46Long live, Dad!

01:13:51My granddaughter.

01:13:52At three months old,

01:13:54she could spot a fake mark.

01:13:55At four,

01:13:56she tore apart forged evidence.

01:13:58On the night of the blood eclipse,

01:14:00one howl summoned

01:14:01a hundred wolves

01:14:02to our aid.

01:14:03Could any of your brats

01:14:04do that?

01:14:07Fine.

01:14:08Your granddaughter wins.

01:14:11How many times is this now?

01:14:13My ears are growing callous.

01:14:18Duh!

01:14:18Who else would I be?

01:14:20A once-in-a-century moonborn.

01:14:22You old folks

01:14:23can stay jealous

01:14:23all you want.

01:14:30Luna, look!

01:14:31This is the moon

01:14:33I've owed you

01:14:33since your first full moon.

01:14:40Father,

01:14:41she,

01:14:41she just...

01:14:42Wolf tongue!

01:14:43Her first words

01:14:44in wolf tongue!

01:14:45Quick,

01:14:46say it again!

01:14:47Call me Grandpa!

01:14:48Look at you all,

01:14:49so spineless.

01:14:50Yeah.

01:14:51It's just one sentence.

01:15:06The moon-born power.

01:15:08The blood drain

01:15:09couldn't take you

01:15:10and this old woman

01:15:11underestimated you.

01:15:13But remember this,

01:15:15little one.

01:15:16The moon god

01:15:17gave you strength,

01:15:19but the moon god

01:15:20has never been

01:15:21only one.

01:15:24When the eclipsed moon

01:15:26awakens,

01:15:27every ounce of power

01:15:29in your bloodline

01:15:30will be repaid

01:15:31with interest.
