Short filmTranscript
00:10Seven years after his death, my husband came back to life at Flame Keep's Spring Feast.
00:30If it weren't for her, how could Leora have committed suicide after marrying my brother?
00:34She should feel ashamed and beg for our forgiveness. If not, I will not go back.
00:38He'd been living easy all these years. He had no notion that his desertion had long since been laid bare,
00:43nor that White Flame Keep had passed to another hand.
00:46The day he faked his death and fled to the neighboring kingdom, he thought it was nothing. He thought Torrin
00:51would answer for him.
00:52But on that same day, the Iron Cavalry of Sarn smashed the gates of White Flame Keep.
00:56In a single night, he was branded a traitor and a deserter. The city was put to the sword.
01:02Nearly all were butchered, including my parents. There was not even enough left of them for a proper burial.
01:08Had Lord Roderick Harwin not descended from the sky on Dragonback, I would not be standing here now.
01:14And Torrin, the old Lord of White Flame Keep, the Father Edren kept talking about.
01:18On the day Lord Harwin pulled him from the ruins, he confessed his son's treason and threw himself into the
01:23flames.
01:25As for me, I survived. But I had remarried a long time ago. Darren was still jeering, playing to the
01:32crowd.
01:32By the gods, that's cold. Your lyre was a beauty. Were you not afraid she would run off with another?
01:42Run off? She was eight months pregnant. What man of honor would have her? And she was crazy about me.
01:47She was likely clutching my ear to her breast every night, praying for my return.
01:52She would never have left.
01:54Given how hard Lyre was obsessed with you, she spent all these years hiding like a rat and will die
01:59alone still whispering your name.
02:01Honestly, she brought it on herself. Shameless, the way she begged for the marriage.
02:05No wonder she found herself a widow so young. I wager she's wasting away in her grief.
02:09If she saw you now, she'd probably lose her mind.
02:12He didn't object to a single word.
02:15I only slept with her once, and she got pregnant. What does that make her, huh? Sounds like a whore
02:20to me.
02:20Several men exchanged leave grins. I locked my eyes on Edrin's face, and a cold fire began to burn in
02:26my veins.
02:26Seven years ago, he abandoned us all.
02:29Old Torrin was forced to drag his alien body into a suit of rusted armor and ride out to meet
02:33the war.
02:33Four. Mira and I were left behind in the war camp, huddled together, counting the last of our meager supplies.
02:40And there was nothing we could do.
02:45Torrin's forces were broken, again and again.
02:48From the rear, we heard the news from the front.
02:51Each report worse than the last.
02:53I heard my parents had been slain.
02:55I heard my family's wrong, gathered over generations, had been looted.
02:59On the distant ridgelines, the warning beacons were lit.
03:02One after another.
03:04Until he came.
03:05Down from the clouds, through the smoke and ash, on the back of a dragon.
03:10Lord Roderick Arlund.
03:11The dragon lord, master of the Scarlet and Dragons,
03:14keeper of the Iron Flame Throne, ruler of the Scarlet Sun Kingdom,
03:17lord of Flamekeep and the Dragon's Pine Sea.
03:19He buried the truth of Edrin's treason.
03:21In return, I was wed to him.
03:23The keeper of the Iron Flame Throne held too much power for anyone to question him.
03:27The official story was that Torrin and Mira Caspwood had died of a sudden sickness.
03:31It was a lie that preserved what little honor their name had left.
03:34Then someone in the crowd spotted me.
03:37His face lit up.
03:38He slapped Edrin on the arm and pointed straight in my direction.
03:45Liah?
03:45What are you doing here?
03:46Damn, Aedlin.
03:47You're barely back from the grave and she's already tracked you down.
03:50Someone's desperate.
03:51Have you no shame?
03:52This feast is Lady Harwood's.
03:54Were you even summoned?
03:55Do not disgrace me before the guards drag you out.
03:57The dragon lord is insanely protective of his wife.
03:59Lady Harwood doesn't like seeing people,
04:01so he keeps her completely hidden away.
04:03No one's ever seen her face.
04:04This is the first feast she's ever hosted.
04:06We all came tonight hoping for a glimpse of her.
04:08So, Liah, I know you missed Aedrin,
04:10but try not to ruin the feast for the rest of us.
04:13You just crawled out of your grave, Sir Caitlid.
04:16Worry about yourself.
04:18White flame coal is not as you remember it.
04:20Back then, Torrin sent him to the war hoping he'd earn some glory.
04:24I remember my belly was so swollen it was hard to walk,
04:27but I stood with him at the gates, terrified, begging him to stay safe.
04:31The only news we received was that he'd faked his death and fled the battlefield.
04:34I was eight months pregnant, hauling arrows and tending to the wounded in the rear camp.
04:39But the enemy broke into the abdomen and was faster than anyone feared.
04:43Boys, a fat-bellied one. Any of you had the taste?
04:46One of them kicked me hard.
04:48I hit the ground. Blood poured down my legs.
04:52You don't have to make up such pathetic lies to lure me back.
04:55If loneliness has made you so desperate,
04:58beg me sweetly enough and I may grant you one night in my bed.
05:01He saw the flicker of pain in my eyes and thought he'd hit the mark.
05:04He looked proud of himself.
05:07Why, Laia? Is that you?
05:10You poor thing.
05:12Having to look after White Flame Ward all these years.
05:15Aedlin, that is cruel.
05:17You have spent so long tending to us that poor Laia has been left to grieve alone.
05:21It was Leora Fane.
05:23She hid behind the lie that died of heartbreak and gone away with Edrin.
05:26To live as man and wife in some other place.
05:28And Edrin, who knew the whole thing was a lie, I remember.
05:32He once forced me to stand outside in the freezing cold all night as penance for Leora.
05:36My nails dug into my palms as I stared at the two of them.
05:39After Leora's tragedy, a healer managed to save her.
05:42Turns out she was already pregnant.
05:43She's been recovering in seclusion all these years.
05:45It hasn't been easy for her.
05:46A widow with a child.
05:47I couldn't just abandon them, so I decided to marry her.
05:49Make her my wife.
05:50Her son will inherit the title of White Flame Keep.
05:51It's the least I can do to honor my brother's memory.
05:53You will return and make the keep ready.
05:55And if I hear so much as a whisper against her, you will answer for it.
05:58I had never heard such shamelessness uttered aloud.
06:01That boy was obviously his.
06:03His and Leora's.
06:04Whom you wed is no concern of mine, Sir Castward.
06:08I was wed again long ago.
06:12Remarried?
06:12You think I give a damn?
06:13I didn't come back for a woman like you.
06:15I heard the dragon egg at White Flame Keep hatched.
06:17The ice dragon egg my family has guarded for generations.
06:20I, Adian of House Castward, shall mount the ice dragon and rule as king.
06:23And that dragon is my bloodlite.
06:24Don't you come crying back to me when it happens.
06:26Of course.
06:27No wonder you came back now, Adrian.
06:29You're about to become a dragon lord.
06:31Even Lord Harwin will have to bow to you then, won't he?
06:33Already picturing himself on the back of a great ice dragon.
06:36And all I could think was,
06:38he has no idea that dragon hatched seven years ago.
06:40It hatched on the night White Flame Keep was slaughtered.
06:43It hatched while the Sarnriders were smelling over me.
06:45After my blood soaked into the dirt,
06:47my blood fell upon the ancient shell, already split with cracks.
06:51Then it broke.
06:52A little dragon blew as winter ice.
06:55And you, the nerve you have, saying things like that.
06:59If I remember correctly, you were eight months pregnant.
07:01What man of rank would take a woman swollen with another man's bastard,
07:04or'd you have to go crawling to some lowborn merchant?
07:07Right.
07:07You are common trash, after all.
07:11Mother, when is father coming back?
07:13These people are so loud.
07:15You want me back that badly?
07:17You even brought the child with you?
07:22This child!
07:23She should be seven by now, should she not?
07:26Why is she so slight?
07:29Liar, even if you're angry with Adrian,
07:31you can't take it out on the child.
07:33That's just cruel.
07:34Just then, her son, came charging back.
07:37He saw the unique dragon scale pendant around Alia's neck.
07:40Give me that!
07:42Mom said you and everything this woman has, belongs to me.
07:47Give it back!
07:50It's my birthday present!
07:52It's not yours!
07:53It all happened so fast.
07:55I didn't have time to think.
07:57I just shoved the boy back and scooped Alia into my arms.
08:00The boy fell on his back and let out a piercing, theatrical shriek.
08:07You dare lay a hand on a child?
08:10Leora was right.
08:11You're a bitch who belongs in the slums or a brothel!
08:16I've known Edrin since we were children.
08:18When other kids would corner me and bully me,
08:20he was the one who fought for me.
08:22He'd get his face bruised and bloodied,
08:24but he would always stand stubbornly in front of me.
08:26Back then, I thought he would protect me forever,
08:29and that I would love and cherish him forever.
08:32But now, in front of this whole crowd,
08:34for another woman,
08:35he had just humiliated me without a second thought for my dignity.
08:38He reeled from the slap,
08:40his rage about to explode.
08:42But when he saw my red-rimmed eyes,
08:44he faltered for a second.
08:45For the briefest instant,
08:47he looked almost ashamed.
08:48Leora seized the moment.
08:50She clutched her son to her chest
08:51and let out a choked sob.
08:53It seems Lea doesn't want us to come back.
08:55I always knew Meera preferred her.
08:58But now that I'm a widow,
08:59I suppose I shouldn't be surprised I'm not welcome.
09:02Maybe we should just leave.
09:05I left you in charge,
09:07to see to my parents and the running of the keep.
09:10How dare you waste the keep's money
09:11on useless things like this!
09:13His eyes fell on the dragon scale
09:15pendant around Alia's neck.
09:17Wait!
09:18Where did you get that dragon scale?
09:20That's...
09:20That's a scale from my family's ice dragon.
09:22That scale is mine by blood.
09:24Mine!
09:25You have the nerve to scavenge it and wear it?
09:27That belongs to me!
09:29You've been squatting in White Flame Keep
09:31all these years.
09:32You probably never even got to touch the egg,
09:34did you?
09:36Now the dragon has hatched,
09:37and that scale is mine!
09:40You're a commoner's daughter.
09:41By what right do you touch it?
09:43I couldn't even be bothered to answer him.
09:45I turned to a handmaiden who had just rushed over.
09:49Get the healer.
09:51Being ignored sent Edrin over the edge.
09:54He grabbed my arm.
09:56It's a little scratch.
09:57And you're gonna bother Lord Harwin's people over that?
10:04Laya, what the hell is wrong with you?
10:05Have seven years alone surely made you so bitter?
10:08Are you just lonely, is that it?
10:10Blaming me because you've had no one?
10:12Ask pardon as you ought,
10:14and I may yet come to your bed tonight.
10:16I have told you I am remarried.
10:19You need to start worrying about yourself.
10:24Fine.
10:25Be stubborn.
10:26I'll be waiting for the day you come begging me to take you back!
10:29After the healer had cleaned and dressed Alia's cheek,
10:32a deep wave of exhaustion washed over me.
10:34I used to wonder, for a long time, if Edrin had a reason.
10:37Some secret hardship that made him abandon his wife,
10:40his unborn child, and his home for seven years.
10:43I remember the night before Muro walked into the throne room and took her own life.
10:47I never should have gone to your father's house with Torrid.
10:50I never should have promised you,
10:52on that monster's behalf,
10:54that he would be good to you.
10:56We did this.
10:58We ruined you!
11:01Mira had always been so full of life,
11:04a woman who refused to grow old.
11:06From the day I married Edrin,
11:07she treated me like her own daughter.
11:09But in one single night,
11:10the weight of it all had broken her.
11:12Liar.
11:14White Flame Keep has failed you.
11:16If that animal ever comes back,
11:18I give you my blessing to kill him yourself.
11:21Now you go find a good man.
11:23And don't you dare grieve for us.
11:26In the seven years since I married Roderick Harwin,
11:28I've rarely left the castle.
11:30This was the day the stranger took Mira.
11:32I hosted this feast to tell the spirit of the old woman who loved me like a daughter that I
11:35was okay.
11:36That I had finally moved on.
11:39I took a breath,
11:41composed myself,
11:42and walked back to the great hall.
11:44Edrin and Leora were sitting together,
11:46acting for all the world like a happy couple.
11:48I walked right past their table without even glance.
11:53But as I passed,
11:55who caught my head?
11:58I remember her.
11:59That's Adrian Castwood's wife.
12:01The one who's been lonely for seven years.
12:04Is she doing this to get his attention?
12:05How shameless.
12:07Is she crazy?
12:08Making a scene at a feast by Lady Harwin?
12:10Liar!
12:11How could you?
12:13I know you're upset with Adrin,
12:15but you can't act like this at Lady Harwin's feast.
12:18Are you trying to make Lord Harwin angry with Adrin on purpose?
12:22Edrin's expression turned lethal.
12:24Lia,
12:24so you are here to cause trouble.
12:26Seven years,
12:27and you still haven't learned a thing?
12:31As I tried to push myself up.
12:36The fault is mine.
12:38I should have kept this bitch in hand.
12:41She's disturbed all of you.
12:44I'll make her apologize.
12:47I'm saving you, Liar.
12:49If you make Lady Harwin angry,
12:51you're dead.
12:52Lord Harwin doesn't have a good temper.
12:54I heard the last person who pissed him off
12:56was cut over 300 times
12:58before he was allowed to die.
13:00I am Lady Harwin.
13:02Take your foot off me,
13:04Adrin Castwood,
13:05or this day will be your last.
13:06The hall fell silent for a single,
13:08then it erupted in a roar of laughter.
13:15Liar,
13:16you'd even dare to tell a lie like that?
13:18Take a look at yourself.
13:19And you think a creature such as you
13:21could pass herself off as Lady Harwin?
13:24Alia came running back into the hall.
13:26She saw me pinned to the ground
13:27and charged at him like a furious little animal.
13:30Mother!
13:34You little brat!
13:35No manners at all!
13:37When I get back,
13:38I will have you and your mother
13:39thrown out onto the ice field for three days.
13:43My father will not suffer this!
13:45Adrin was losing his patience.
13:47He opened his mouth to say something else.
13:50But just then,
13:51a huge commotion started outside.
13:53Then came a roar like a stormwind,
13:55so fierce it seemed to shake the very stones.
13:57The dragon lord is back.
14:03Everyone stretched their necks.
14:05Does that mean we'll finally get to see Lady Harwin?
14:07The dragon lord adores his wife.
14:09If he finds out someone dared to impersonate her,
14:12he'll probably torture this woman to death.
14:13As they snickered,
14:15a world-shattering dragon's cry split the sky.
14:18A massive shadow swept over the grounds.
14:21A colossal dragon dove from the clouds.
14:28The dragon lord,
14:30the keeper of the iron flame throne.
14:32He had returned.
14:34Father,
14:35you're finally back!
14:38You little bastard.
14:40Daring to impersonate Lord Harwin's daughter?
14:42You're just as low as your mother.
14:44This is the finest silk imported from myrrh.
14:46You and your mother are not fit to touch clothes so fine.
14:49We can't have them making a scene here.
14:51It'll ruin the mood for Lord Harwin and his lady.
14:52Let's get them out of sight.
14:53I'll deal with them after I've properly met Lady Harwin.
14:56We cannot have such filth before Lady Harwin's eyes.
14:58While Roderick was still on the far side of the hall,
15:01Ezreal gagged me and started dragging me away
15:02in the opposite direction, Dot.
15:05He was dragging me into the thick bushes
15:06at the edge of the peace grounds.
15:08I had no idea where he'd be taking Alia.
15:11I struggled, trying to get up,
15:12but he just kicked my back,
15:14pinning me down.
15:15I picked this special place for you.
15:16Maybe it'll help you wake up and stop dreaming.
15:19You stay here and wait for Lady Harwin to deal with you properly.
15:25He straightened up, brushing the dust from his clothes.
15:28He was about to leave,
15:29but his eyes were drawn to the colossal beast
15:31at the edge of the grounds, Dot.
15:33He stared at the dragon,
15:34and I could see him imagining his own ice dragon there instead,
15:38with everyone in the kingdom bowing and scraping before him, Dot.
15:44A slow, arrogant smile spread across his face, Dot.
15:48Just wait.
15:50When I get back,
15:51all of Flametuck will kneel to House Castwood,
15:53and then this dragon lord,
15:55this iron flame throne,
15:56they will all make way for me.
15:59By the time he got there,
16:00Roderick Harwin was already seated.
16:02The man's gaze swept coolly over the crowd.
16:05Where are my lady and my daughter?
16:06Sweat beaded on the steward's forehead.
16:08Lady Harwin said she did not wish to have her identity known, my lord.
16:11She instructed us not to follow.
16:12I'll send men to find her at once.
16:17Lord Harwin!
16:18It's an honor to finally meet you.
16:20Isn't Lady Harwin with you?
16:22Roderick gave him a cold, indifferent glance.
16:25It's me, my lord.
16:27Adrian Castwood, of White Flame Keep.
16:29I've only just recently returned.
16:30I heard Lady Harwin was hosting a feast,
16:32and I came especially to pay her my respects.
16:36You would pay her honor?
16:38You aren't fit to speak her name.
16:44White Flame Keep.
16:45That place has been all but forgotten.
16:47And even if he does hatch some little ice dragon,
16:49it will still be no more than a lizard
16:51beside the dragon lord's beasts.
16:53He actually thought he could use this
16:54to curry favor with the dragon lord.
16:56Exactly.
16:57The dragon lord has seen
16:58every kind of dragon that exists.
17:00This idiot thinks he can show off
17:02some unproven ice hatchling?
17:04He's clearly never been anywhere.
17:06Or seen anything.
17:08Besides paying my respects,
17:10I also have something to report to Lady Harwin.
17:13Someone here had the audacity to impersonate her.
17:16I've already forced her to her knees to repent,
17:18but she refuses to learn her lesson.
17:20I beg you, Lord Harwin,
17:22to punish her severely.
17:23It's true.
17:24Not only did that woman impersonate Lady Harwin,
17:27she deliberately caused a scene
17:29knocking over food and wine.
17:30She meant to spoil the entire feast.
17:32And her daughter is just as arrogant.
17:34She dared to pull a scale from my family dragon
17:36and wear it as a pendant.
17:38That's right.
17:39Does she have any idea where she is
17:41impersonating Lady Harwin?
17:42A low-class, vulgar woman like that
17:45could never deserve such a position.
17:47She probably thinks
17:48holding one shed dragon leer
17:50makes her some dragon queen in her own mind.
17:52Don't worry, Lord Harwin.
17:54I've already tied her up
17:56and thrown her in the bushes
17:57to reflect on what she's done.
17:59She's probably been without a man
18:01for so long it's added her brain.
18:03That's why she was asking for death.
18:15Where is she?
18:18Liar is finished now.
18:20The dragon lord is truly furious.
18:22A man like him would never allow someone
18:23to impersonate his wife.
18:25A few years ago,
18:26someone secretly mocked Lady Harwin
18:28for being a recluse,
18:29saying she must be too ugly
18:30to show her face.
18:31He had that man
18:32thrown the liar into a volcano.
18:35What a waste, though.
18:36Liar has a face and a body like that
18:39too bad to throw in a volcano.
18:41They should just send her
18:42to one of the city's brothels.
18:45Your grace,
18:46it is all my fault.
18:47Please, punish me.
18:49What Liar did is a crime
18:51deserving of a hundred deaths,
18:52but why don't you leave her to me?
18:54I will see her tongue torn out
18:55or her legs broken
18:56so she never runs
18:57nor speaks against me again.
18:59Please, Lord Harwin,
19:01spare the bitch's life.
19:04The dragon lord let go.
19:06Poor Edrin could even gasp for air.
19:09Where is she?
19:10Take me to her!
19:13Shaking, stumbling,
19:14he led the way to the edge
19:16of the pond where he'd thrown me, Dot.
19:18You bitch!
19:19Why did you have to come here
19:21and make Lord Harwin angry?
19:27He knelt down,
19:29untied the ropes,
19:30and lifted me from the water
19:31as if I were made of glass.
19:32I was soaked through,
19:33my cheek swollen and bruised.
19:35I managed a weak,
19:36trembling smile, Dot.
19:39Just then,
19:40Alia,
19:41who must have escaped
19:42from wherever they locked her.
19:43Father!
19:44They hit mother!
19:45They almost killed her!
19:47We almost never got to see you again!
19:51Lord Harwin,
19:52it was all Adriel.
19:53He's the one who hurt her.
19:55We didn't do anything.
19:56Please, my lord,
19:57you have to believe us.
20:01I have nothing to do with him,
20:02Lord Harwin.
20:03He must have deceived me.
20:05Lord Harwin,
20:06Lyomola is my wife.
20:08How can she be your wife?
20:09There must be some kind
20:10of misunderstanding.
20:12He's right, Lord Harwin.
20:13That woman is Adrien's wife.
20:15She even had his child.
20:16This woman was already married,
20:17and she dared to hide her identity
20:19and tricked you.
20:20It's shameful.
20:24You are Leora Thane.
20:26She'd always known
20:27she was beautiful.
20:29If such a woman
20:29could win his favor,
20:31why should she not do better?
20:34Lord Harwin,
20:35you know my name.
20:39But I was told you died
20:40for your late husband.
20:42Lyra has blamed herself
20:43for your death
20:43all these years.
20:45So as not to make
20:46her grief a waste,
20:47then it is past time
20:48you return to your grave.
20:50As for these two,
20:53kill them both.
20:54Edrin says,
20:55please, we can't fight.
20:56You dare!
20:58I'm the heir of White Flamehold!
21:00You stole my wife!
21:02My parents will go to the king!
21:03And I have an ice dragon!
21:05You think you'll keep that throne
21:06when my dragon is grown?
21:08Are you afraid
21:09I'm going to take your title?
21:12Back in our chambers,
21:13the healer gently bandaged my wounds.
21:28They shouldn't get to die
21:29that easily!
21:31Not after what they did
21:32to you, Mother!
21:35If I had known
21:36the day you married him
21:38I should have killed him myself.
21:42A warmth spread through my chest.
21:44When Roderick first
21:45made his offer of marriage,
21:46I was more terrified
21:47than anything.
21:48I knew that in this world,
21:50no one does a kindness
21:51for no reason.
21:52But I had no other choice.
21:54I was ready to accept
21:55whatever came next.
21:56I always thought
21:57he just wanted my dragon.
21:59The ancient,
22:00precious ice dragon
22:01that hatched from its egg
22:02in the ruins of White Flame Keep.
22:04But he never tried
22:05to take her from me.
22:06Instead,
22:06he was kind.
22:08He treated me
22:09with a respect
22:09I'd never known,
22:10asking for my opinion
22:11on everything.
22:12Until today,
22:13I had almost managed
22:14to forget Edrin even existed.
22:17Your grace,
22:18I have failed you.
22:19As the guards
22:20were escorting Edrin away,
22:21he slammed his own son
22:22into the guards
22:23to break their grip.
22:24In the ensuing chaos,
22:26he managed to slip away.
22:29But rest assured,
22:30I have men after him.
22:32He won't get far.
22:33He won't.
22:33He's running back
22:34to White Flame Keep.
22:36Edrin was the youngest child.
22:38He'd been spoiled
22:39his whole life
22:39by Torrin and Mira.
22:41Whenever he got into trouble,
22:42he always ran home.
22:44He still doesn't know
22:45that every person
22:46in that keep
22:46who ever loved him
22:47is dead.
22:48And he is the one
22:48who killed them.
22:51This day belongs to Mira.
22:53Since he's returned,
22:56we'll use Adrian's life
22:57as the offering.
23:00After Torrin and Mira died,
23:02Roderick gave the castle to me.
23:04All the old servants
23:05were gone,
23:06replaced long ago.
23:07Edrin ran straight
23:07to White Flame Keep.
23:10How dare you stop me!
23:15I am the heir
23:16of White Flame Keep,
23:17the master of the Ice Dragon,
23:19the future rival
23:20to the Dragon Lord's throne!
23:22Father, mother,
23:23Adedrin is home!
23:27Was it that bitch, Leah?
23:29Did she put you up to this?
23:30So clever!
23:33Seduces another man,
23:34climbs into the Dragon Lord's bed,
23:36and now she's even turned
23:37my own parents against me?
23:39That whore!
23:40The Dragon Lord will see her
23:42for what she is soon enough!
23:44My mother would never abandon me!
23:46All I have to do
23:47is apologize,
23:48and she'll forgive me!
23:50You'll all be beaten
23:51to death for this!
23:54Just then,
23:55the pursuit party arrived,
23:56pinning him to the ground.
23:58My lady,
23:58lady of White Flame Keep.
24:00I stepped out
24:00from behind the guards.
24:03Bring him inside.
24:08You're insane!
24:10You actually got them
24:11to play along
24:11with this ridiculous charade!
24:13You are fit for washing linen
24:14and warming a man's bed!
24:16Nothing more!
24:17How long do you think
24:18Lord Harman will tolerate
24:19a lying bitch like you?
24:21Master of the Ice Dragon?
24:23Just wait,
24:24when the Ice Dragon sees me,
24:25you'll find out
24:25who its real master is!
24:28Are you deaf?
24:29I am the true master
24:31of the Ice Dragon!
24:32The Lord of White Flame Keep!
24:35I am your master!
24:37No one moved.
24:38No one answered him.
24:40The servants bowed to me
24:42once more and dispersed.
24:43Liar!
24:44You bitch!
24:46You'll die for this!
24:47How long do you think
24:48you can fool the Dragon Lord?
24:49When he gets tired of you,
24:51you'll be nothing!
24:52Let me go!
24:53A moment ago,
24:55he was desperate to get in.
24:56Now,
24:57a nameless dread
24:58seemed to surround him.
24:59Struggling,
25:00cursing.
25:01Do you know who I am?
25:02I am the master
25:04of the Ice Dragon!
25:06They threw him down
25:07in front of a row
25:08of black tombstones.
25:09This is Torrent's grave.
25:11He put on rusted armor
25:12and rode to war
25:13in his son's place.
25:14When Lord Harwin saved him,
25:15he confessed.
25:16And walked into the fire!
25:18This is Meera's!
25:19She was with me
25:20in the rear camp.
25:21We were nearly killed
25:22by the enemy
25:22before we were saved.
25:23The day after Torrent died,
25:24she walked into the throne room,
25:25confessed her guilt,
25:26and drove a dagger
25:27into her own heart.
25:28And this one
25:29is for my unborn child.
25:31She was eight months along.
25:32The day White Flame Keep
25:33was sacked,
25:34a Sarn Rider
25:34kicked me to the ground.
25:36I felt her blouted
25:37of me into the mud.
25:39I just had to lie there
25:40and watch as she became
25:41a plot of blood
25:42mixed with dirt.
25:44And beyond all that,
25:46do you have any idea
25:47that in the chaos
25:48I never even found
25:49my parents' bodies
25:50to bury?
25:52I don't know.
25:52I don't know.
25:53I don't know.
