Short filmTranscript
00:00:04As my husband, I've lost count of how many times Sassi has paraded his ally right in front of me.
00:00:11Of course, tonight is an exception.
00:00:15He thinks I'm visiting relatives in the country.
00:00:18He hasn't the faintest idea.
00:00:21Little does he know, this is where my revenge begins.
00:00:26Parasites.
00:00:31Since everyone's wearing a mask, no one knows who's who.
00:00:42So if you can mess about right in front of me, why shouldn't I do the same?
00:00:58That woman's back. Looks awfully familiar.
00:01:05Stay the night with me. What do you say?
00:01:08I'm just an ally in my lady.
00:01:10No. Why let rank spoil the fun?
00:01:16A noblewoman luring to be with these kind of trash.
00:01:19Are you quite sure you can handle the consequences?
00:01:22No.
00:01:25No.
00:01:38No.
00:01:40No.
00:01:44No.
00:01:52I'm actually pregnant.
00:01:56That man certainly knew how to put on a show.
00:02:00As long as Scar believes this child is his, everything my grandfather left me will eventually be mine again.
00:02:06My lady, I've come to change your bedding and your rag.
00:02:10Why now of all times?
00:02:13Just a moment!
00:02:15Scars hasn't touched me in six months.
00:02:17Before I announce the pregnancy, I need him to sleep with me one more time.
00:02:21Melris!
00:02:22The carriage is waiting!
00:02:24If we're late for the victory banquet, the blame falls on you!
00:02:31You're getting completely out of hand.
00:02:33What the devil are you doing in here?
00:02:37You're sneaking around.
00:02:38What are you up to?
00:02:41Nothing.
00:02:43Why are your hands behind your back?
00:02:44You're standing on it.
00:02:46Ugh!
00:02:47Throwing your filthy rags on the floor like this?
00:02:51Disgusting!
00:02:54Forgive me, my lord.
00:02:55I was just about to tidy the room and change her ladyship's rags.
00:02:58Wait outside.
00:02:59I'll get dressed and be right out.
00:03:01Hurry it up.
00:03:13Feed me another one.
00:03:19My lord.
00:03:21I prefer the curtains drawn.
00:03:23If you cared so much about appearances, you shouldn't have brought her into the carriage.
00:03:28Tonight is a banquet hosted by his majesty himself for my cousin, Eric.
00:03:32If you hadn't married me, a merchant's daughter like you would never set foot in the royal palace your entire
00:03:38life.
00:03:39Exactly.
00:03:40I'd defeat for a chance to go inside.
00:03:42You've no right to complain.
00:03:44If it weren't for my merchant fortune, you wouldn't even be able to afford this carriage.
00:03:48You'd have to go roll around in the dirt.
00:03:51I never want to hear you say that again.
00:03:53Don't forget.
00:03:54The deeds and shops your grandfather left behind all belong to me now.
00:04:02Let me help you cool off, my lord.
00:04:04Grandfather must have been blind to leave everything in his hands.
00:04:08Don't give me that look.
00:04:10As long as we play the happy couple, my cousin will think I'm a respectable man.
00:04:15And the northern ration contracts will stay in my hands.
00:04:34General.
00:04:35His majesty has sent word.
00:04:37The banquet is about to begin.
00:04:38The time of controlling the illusions is getting shorter.
00:04:42Still not found that woman?
00:04:43There were too many people that night.
00:04:45We're still screening them.
00:04:46After that night, the hallucinations stopped for two whole days.
00:04:52And it was only with her.
00:04:54Keep digging.
00:04:59Be a good girl and wait in the carriage.
00:05:02I'll be back right after the banquet.
00:05:06My lady.
00:05:07After you.
00:05:11Is that Vatret Skur's wife?
00:05:13I heard she's a merchant's daughter.
00:05:16No wonder she lacks class.
00:05:18Look at you.
00:05:20Go and beg Lilith to swap dresses with you.
00:05:23Stop embarrassing me here.
00:05:27Count Horne.
00:05:28It's been too long.
00:05:30Looking as dashering as ever, I see.
00:05:39I'd rather be thrown out than beg her for anything.
00:05:44My apologies, my lady.
00:05:45But we cannot allow you inside dressed like that.
00:05:48I know.
00:05:49That's why I need to borrow your sword for a moment.
00:05:51Please don't make a scene here, ma'am.
00:05:54I... I just...
00:05:57Use mine.
00:06:06It's the man from the masquerade!
00:06:09General, sir!
00:06:10The general?
00:06:12Soska's cousin is him?
00:06:13If you keep, my lady, you'll be late for the banquet.
00:06:18Thank you, general.
00:06:25Actually looks better than before.
00:06:29You flatter me, general. Just a quick fix.
00:06:32I'll see you inside.
00:06:42That woman...
00:06:43Why does she feel so familiar?
00:07:03Eric Hohenheim.
00:07:04The Empire will forever remember your triumphs in the North.
00:07:08My life for the Empire.
00:07:10He looks as though he's in pain.
00:07:14Rumor has it he'd defeat people just for fun since he's been back.
00:07:18You always take matters into your own hands.
00:07:21Stay away from me whilst I make my rounds tonight.
00:07:23I don't want people thinking I married a tailor's daughter.
00:07:29Perhaps he's not what the rumors say.
00:07:33A toast to you, general.
00:07:37It's getting worse.
00:07:40No.
00:07:41I need to find Edward.
00:07:43See if they've brought any spare prisoners.
00:07:47Cousin!
00:07:48The party's just starting.
00:07:50What's the rush?
00:07:51What is it?
00:07:52Oh, nothing much.
00:07:54Just notice the requisition orders for the border rations have paused lately.
00:07:58The North is secure, sure, but our garrisons out there eat through supplies fast.
00:08:01We can't let the transport stop.
00:08:03To save the front line some coin, I've been keeping prices rock bottom for yens.
00:08:07I hardly make a dime.
00:08:11So regarding the rations contract.
00:08:18Shut up!
00:08:21Cousin?
00:08:22Rations were always tight whilst I was on the front.
00:08:25We only secured the area a month ago.
00:08:27Yet when I dressed as an ally and slipped into your estate, your little masquerade was quite the lavish affair.
00:08:33General!
00:08:34I believe you are mistaken.
00:08:38The heavy snows blocked the northern passes.
00:08:41Many merchant guilds refused to go near the border even if it meant taking a loss.
00:08:45Scar hosted that ball simply to placify the gang leaders.
00:08:48Yes! Yes, exactly!
00:08:50All for the Empire!
00:08:51You're defending him.
00:08:54Just stating the facts.
00:08:56And what are you to him?
00:08:57His wife.
00:08:59So was the lady of the house present at the masquerade that night.
00:09:08You misunderstand me, General.
00:09:10I'm merely speaking up for my husband.
00:09:12As for the masquerade, I wasn't there. I was visiting my aunt in the country.
00:09:15So you're not worried about your husband fooling around behind your back?
00:09:19You cut off his contracts and publicly challenge him over a single party.
00:09:23Are you going to interrogate our marriage now too?
00:09:35Forgive my intrusion.
00:09:38General!
00:09:40I want a new logistics plan on my desk in two days.
00:09:43If it's the same garbage as before.
00:09:46Then you're done with the northern contracts.
00:09:48Forever.
00:09:49Yes, yes, of course!
00:09:50I'll redraw everything!
00:09:52You're done!
00:09:57You're done!
00:10:00You're done!
00:10:01You're done!
00:10:01A stroke of luck, actually.
00:10:03There's no way Scar can come up with a new plan.
00:10:05If I use this to make him sleep with me again.
00:10:07Then you can stay.
00:10:09Loud and clear.
00:10:14Good thing you had one on standby.
00:10:22General, please let me go!
00:10:24I'm just a foot soldier! I was following orders!
00:10:27My girl is waiting for me back home!
00:10:30Please, no, please!
00:10:35Crimson Raven.
00:10:39General.
00:10:41Why haven't you found the woman from the masquerade yet?
00:10:46Do we even have prisoners left to kill?
00:10:49He's been looking for me since that night.
00:10:51Quite sure you can handle the consequences.
00:10:56Who's there?
00:11:06Crimson Raven.
00:11:07Why haven't you found her yet?
00:11:09Are you quite sure you can handle the consequences?
00:11:14What the hell is wrong with you?
00:11:19A cold-blooded monster.
00:11:21He actually thinks he's some hero of the Empire.
00:11:23Don't be angry, my lord.
00:11:25Have some wine.
00:11:28A cold-blooded monster.
00:11:30And I'm killing his child.
00:11:32If he finds out I only used him for his two,
00:11:34he'll tear me to pieces.
00:11:36No.
00:11:37The planning of his work can start.
00:11:45Women who come to my door usually fall into one of two categories.
00:11:48Those who want to get pregnant with someone else's child
00:11:50and those who want to get rid of their own.
00:11:53Which one are you?
00:11:54The latter.
00:11:58I'm out of a few herbs.
00:11:59I need to go fetch them.
00:12:10There's a gentleman in the back room who claims he's being haunted by the dead.
00:12:13If you hear him ring the bell, do me a favor and toss some of this incense into the burner
00:12:17for him.
00:12:24Let go!
00:12:26What are you doing?
00:12:29What is Scar's wife doing in a place like this?
00:12:37What is Scar's wife doing in a place like this?
00:12:42Those who want to get nymphs.
00:12:44Surely the general doesn't think I'm the latter.
00:12:47I hear you and Scar have only been married for three months.
00:12:49In such a rush to have a baby.
00:12:51You're awfully invested in other people's private matters, general.
00:12:55Get out.
00:13:00I caused the burn.
00:13:01The least I can do is treat it.
00:13:02Not necessary.
00:13:03Leave the medicine.
00:13:04I'll do it myself.
00:13:05You can't exactly reach your own back.
00:13:14What a perfect body.
00:13:17Do you usually tend to your own mark, general?
00:13:19Yes, I don't like people touching my body.
00:13:23Apologies.
00:13:24This might sting a bit, general.
00:13:26All done.
00:13:27Hold on.
00:13:28Have you seen it before?
00:13:31Never.
00:13:31Is that so?
00:13:33I think it would suit me perfectly.
00:13:37General, please mind your boundaries.
00:13:40Her scent exactly the same.
00:13:42Wait.
00:13:48Changed your mind?
00:13:49If the man inside asked what I was doing here, tell him the exact opposite.
00:13:57Hold the earring.
00:13:58If you find out the secret, I'll never be able to explain myself.
00:14:02I need to end this.
00:14:03Fast.
00:14:07How is there so much of this?
00:14:12Caravans.
00:14:13Tariffs.
00:14:13Where's housing?
00:14:14That Lunar Talk wants me to reorganize everything in two days.
00:14:17Does he think I'm the Chancellor of the Examen?
00:14:19Don't be so grumpy, my lord.
00:14:22Besides, selling off a few properties will keep us comfortable for a long time.
00:14:26What do you know?
00:14:27What do you know?
00:14:28I refuse to end up like my father, eating through his fortune until nothing was left but the title of
00:14:32a broke nobleman.
00:14:33Nobleman!
00:14:41But I suppose you have a point.
00:14:43What's the harm in selling one or two?
00:14:49Gently.
00:14:50I can't keep the baby.
00:14:52I can't keep it.
00:14:57Did you hear?
00:14:58The alley is starting to sell off the family estates.
00:15:01But those belong to her ladyship's grandfather.
00:15:05Where did you hear that?
00:15:06My lady.
00:15:07What is going on?
00:15:09The ally said that the Northern contracts are likely gone, so he's selling off assets early to cover our expenses.
00:15:16Ska?
00:15:23Ska, we need to talk.
00:15:30Ever heard of knocking?
00:15:32Don't stop.
00:15:33You picked a bad time.
00:15:37If you still want the Northern contracts, tell her to get out.
00:15:41You have a logistics plan?
00:15:42I said, tell her to get out.
00:15:47Ska?
00:15:52Get out.
00:15:54Why bother kicking me out?
00:15:55We're both women.
00:15:56I can tell you've no interest in intense confrontation me for him.
00:16:00Not necessarily.
00:16:04Spill it.
00:16:05What's your play?
00:16:08I already have a solution for the Northern supply routes.
00:16:11Tomorrow, I'll go with you to see Eric.
00:16:14You seem... different today.
00:16:16You were just too focused on my grandfather's money to notice.
00:16:19Save it.
00:16:20If you fix this logistics mess, I might actually treat you a bit better.
00:16:23On the condition that you stopped selling off the grandfather's estate.
00:16:28Deal.
00:16:31But wait!
00:16:33What is it?
00:16:34You're more beautiful.
00:16:36Intoxicating.
00:16:38More?
00:16:38But let me tell you.
00:16:39My name is Ska.
00:16:41Ska.
00:16:41Ska Al-Francis.
00:16:43That was close.
00:16:51Wait.
00:16:52Is that her ladyship?
00:16:54Breath?
00:16:54Are you crazy?
00:16:56How dare you fantasize about her ladyship?
00:16:58Ska.
00:16:59Ska.
00:17:00Ska.
00:17:00Ska.
00:17:01Ska.
00:17:02Ska.
00:17:03Wait, wait.
00:17:04I think I heard it too.
00:17:09Don't do that.
00:17:11Did you hear?
00:17:12Her ladyship actually consummated the marriage with the ally.
00:17:15I thought he never touched her.
00:17:17It's true!
00:17:21Doesn't she find him repulsive?
00:17:24Finally over.
00:17:26If he tries to sell my inheritance once, he'll do it again.
00:17:30How much worse can things possibly get?
00:17:33I'm risking it!
00:17:34It's not as if I have any other way out.
00:17:44You don't want to make a fool of yourself in front of your cousin, do you?
00:17:53That was rape!
00:17:54Rape? Aren't we husband and wife?
00:17:56Are you going to tell the whole world that I raped you, Lord Banknett?
00:17:59A merchant's daughter.
00:18:01Shameless as expected!
00:18:02Your grandfather's entail is clear.
00:18:04Only your legitimate child can inherit the Valentin shops, lands, and granaries.
00:18:09But I'm telling you right now, you won't get a second chance like that!
00:18:12What, once wasn't enough?
00:18:13Do you really have that little faith in your own... stamina?
00:18:16You bitch!
00:18:17Don't celebrate just yet, Mellis.
00:18:19Once you secure those northern contracts from me, you'll be completely useless.
00:18:22I'll make you wish you were dead!
00:18:28Two days.
00:18:31Interesting. Seems you haven't been slacking after all.
00:18:35Of course!
00:18:36How could I neglect a direct order from the General?
00:18:39I poured my energy, sweat, and tears into this...
00:18:42But why does it say to bypass Ashport?
00:18:46Well, because... because that port is... narrow.
00:18:50Right? The roads are terrible!
00:18:52I hear it's the largest port in the entire empire. Did you not know that?
00:18:56Because Ashport has been cracking down on salt smuggling recently.
00:18:58The caravans are critical military ranchers for the north.
00:19:01If they go through Ashport and get detained on suspicion of smuggling,
00:19:03the delays would starve the northern garrisons within three weeks.
00:19:06That's why we must reroute through the eastern waterways,
00:19:08although it adds four days to the journey.
00:19:11But at least it's secure.
00:19:20Fascinating. It seems you aren't the real businessmen in the Alphonson family, Scott.
00:19:23No! That's not true! A lot of the other routes were my idea!
00:19:28I hate being lied to. Next time, it'll be your throat on the end of this wave.
00:19:33Looks like he still hasn't recognized me.
00:19:36Northern contracts are yours, fine.
00:19:39But she has to be involved.
00:19:40But cousin!
00:19:41Get out.
00:19:44Lady Melis.
00:19:46I didn't say you could leave.
00:20:05Melris Valentine.
00:20:06Your grandfather built a fine business.
00:20:08But a merchant's a merchant.
00:20:11The Alfronzi's family's fallen shore, but they still have a title.
00:20:15You married him. Give and take.
00:20:18Must be humiliating, though.
00:20:25If you're trying to stir trouble between us, I'll leave.
00:20:30The North is secured, but the Empire is still surrounded.
00:20:33I need talent.
00:20:34Join my staff.
00:20:36Good pay.
00:20:37And I'll help you take back everything scuffed soul.
00:20:39Something's off.
00:20:41You flatter me, General.
00:20:42But I'm just a woman.
00:20:43Why go through all this trouble for me?
00:20:46Because the perfume you wear smells just like someone.
00:20:52Someone I can't forget.
00:20:54My perfume costs three silver coins.
00:20:57Half the girls in the city wear it.
00:20:59I enjoy a good play in my spare time.
00:21:01Been working on one lately.
00:21:02A husband steals his wife's inheritance, flaunts his affair.
00:21:05So the wife, to masquerade, takes a stranger to bed.
00:21:08Right under his nose.
00:21:09What do you think, my lady? Better than what's on at the theater?
00:21:12You've missed your calling, General.
00:21:13Should have been a playwright.
00:21:15Put them on. Then I'll know.
00:21:18General, please.
00:21:19I just want to be sure.
00:21:23Is this your war room or a torture chamber?
00:21:28Both.
00:21:29Let go! Have you lost your mind?
00:21:34This madman, he can't find out.
00:21:39Watch out!
00:21:43The great general.
00:21:45Assaulting his cousin's wife and his own whole empire would be ashamed.
00:21:48Find someone else for your staff, General.
00:21:58My lady, the Allies celebrating the Northern Deal.
00:22:01He's taking Lady Lilith to the hunting lodge and chose not to wait for you.
00:22:07Fine.
00:22:09Earring's gone, scar's gone.
00:22:10At least tonight I get some peace.
00:22:15General!
00:22:16Are you alright? What happened here?
00:22:22Did you check her aunt's place?
00:22:24Find out if she was really there that night?
00:22:30It's a long way.
00:22:32My man won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest.
00:22:37Dammit!
00:22:41General!
00:22:42Where are you going?
00:22:43See her.
00:22:44Now.
00:22:48W!
00:22:49The Valentine crest!
00:23:02Awake?
00:23:03Good.
00:23:05I don't like him cold.
00:23:11Get off!
00:23:15You bitch.
00:23:16This guy said you were a handful.
00:23:18He was right.
00:23:19I like that.
00:23:23Help!
00:23:25Help!
00:23:31Keep yelling, sweethearts.
00:23:33There's no one here.
00:23:35Just you and me.
00:23:37Here.
00:23:47A real lady.
00:23:49Worth every penny.
00:23:50Come here.
00:23:54How did it come to this?
00:23:57I just wanted back what was mine.
00:24:04You dare.
00:24:13Where the hell are you?
00:24:17How did you?
00:24:26Get a carriage.
00:24:27General.
00:24:28She's still Vadraska's wife.
00:24:30Taking her like this.
00:24:31Is that wise?
00:24:32You think that bastard treats her like a wife?
00:24:37What a pain.
00:24:39First he cancels the party.
00:24:40Now we're rushing back in the rain.
00:24:42Clever move, my lord.
00:24:44Catch the bitch red-handed.
00:24:46Of course.
00:24:47Even if she is pregnant, who knows whose bastard it is.
00:24:50She'll never touch my inheritance.
00:24:56Why have we stopped?
00:24:58Scar al-Frontis!
00:25:00Berglas!
00:25:08Protect the master!
00:25:14Cousin!
00:25:15What are you doing here?
00:25:17Three sentences.
00:25:18Explain.
00:25:19I took everyone to the hunting lodge.
00:25:22There must be some misunderstanding.
00:25:23Two.
00:25:24She's my wife.
00:25:25This is a family matter.
00:25:26You shouldn't-
00:25:27Three!
00:25:28General.
00:25:28This is still our house.
00:25:30And you're holding our mistress.
00:25:33Doesn't look right, does it?
00:25:38Not right.
00:25:39Melis is in charge of my northern supply lines.
00:25:42She was nearly assault in her own home.
00:25:44You and Scar are suspects.
00:25:46I'm taking her in for questioning.
00:25:48Eric, you can't-
00:25:50Edward!
00:25:51Sir!
00:26:00Drive faster!
00:26:02Get to the witch doctor!
00:26:03Now!
00:26:13Well, well.
00:26:14Look who's awake.
00:26:15My dear wife, did you really think you could get away?
00:26:19Watching us enjoy your grandfather's fortune?
00:26:21Might break your heart.
00:26:25She'd always be ours.
00:26:28But it was always meant to be ours.
00:26:37Meris, as your savior, I think I've earned the right to know the truth about that night.
00:26:43You're-
00:26:44You're right.
00:26:55You're awake.
00:26:56My clothes.
00:26:57You cut your knee pretty badly fighting that bastard.
00:26:59They were soaked in blood.
00:27:00I threw them out.
00:27:08Then who changed me into this?
00:27:13The witch doctor from that day.
00:27:15You know her?
00:27:16So, the woman in the mask that night.
00:27:19That was you, wasn't it?
00:27:22I-
00:27:23I-
00:27:26Sir, the scout has returned.
00:27:28The woman from that night has been found.
00:27:30It is not Lady Melris.
00:27:32What?
00:27:39What did you just say?
00:27:41General, we found the masked woman from that night.
00:27:44It's Lady Adele Valentine, daughter of Duke Ace.
00:27:47She's right outside.
00:27:56Melris?
00:27:57What on earth are you doing here?
00:28:02You two know each other.
00:28:07Good day, General.
00:28:08I am Adele Valentine.
00:28:12Melris is my cousin.
00:28:15Take them off.
00:28:16I-
00:28:17I-
00:28:18I-
00:28:21There's even a family crest engraved inside the earring.
00:28:25So that's why you came back to the castle looking for me.
00:28:31How did you come by these?
00:28:33Our grandfather had a pair of pearl earrings custom made for every girl in the Valentine family.
00:28:38My cousin likely has a pair very similar to mine, but not quite the same.
00:28:42Where were you a month ago?
00:28:43I had gone to visit my cousin that day, but as it turned out she happened to be away at
00:28:46her mother's.
00:28:47When I arrived I saw the castle was hosting a masquerade ball and I was curious.
00:28:50I heard you've been searching for the person from that, so I finally worked up the courage to come to
00:28:53you.
00:28:54I know this is hardly proper, but I-
00:28:56I simply couldn't forget you.
00:28:58Lady, how can she spew such nauseating lies without a shred of shame?
00:29:03Lady Melris, is what she said true?
00:29:12Lady Melris, is what she said true?
00:29:24Yes. Everything Adel said is true.
00:29:30General, you believe me now, don't you?
00:29:36Edward.
00:29:38Sir.
00:29:39Escort Lady Adel out. Prepare a generous gift to thank her for her candid.
00:29:44What?
00:29:45General, aren't we going to talk a little longer?
00:29:59Lord Eric, thank you for saving me yesterday.
00:30:05I'll take my leave now.
00:30:06I also hope the General can keep what happened last night to himself.
00:30:09Wait!
00:30:10I saved you only because I have no interest in seeing my business partner come to harm.
00:30:17Business partner?
00:30:18When did I ever agree to that?
00:30:20The North cannot go a single day without grain shipments.
00:30:23Scar is worse than useless.
00:30:24I was counting on you from the start.
00:30:25Are you really going to turn me down?
00:30:28Take it.
00:30:29Come work for me.
00:30:30And I can offer you compensation beyond anything you'd imagine.
00:30:34No.
00:30:35If I stay by his side, my belly will grow day by day.
00:30:37He'll find out about the pregnancy sooner or later.
00:30:39This madman will never let me go.
00:30:40I appreciate the offer, my lord, but I must declare the proposal is already in your hands.
00:30:43I'm sure finding someone capable of understanding it won't be difficult.
00:30:45I told you, I have the power to help you reclaim every last piece of your grandfather's estate.
00:30:48Won't you at least consider?
00:30:49Perhaps you're not aware, but that full Scar could never hold on to an estate of that size.
00:30:55Even the royal family has their eyes on that prize now.
00:30:57What do you think?
00:30:58Will Scar fight to the death to keep it, or will he trade your grandfather's legacy for a title and
00:31:03a promotion?
00:31:08Have you made up your mind?
00:31:11If what he says is true, time is running out, I have to take this gamble.
00:31:15But he can never, ever find out about the child.
00:31:18I have two conditions.
00:31:19Name them.
00:31:20First, I'll serve as your advisor for two months with full authority over the northern trade routes.
00:31:24After two months, whether I succeed or fail, you will honor your promise and help me reclaim my entire inheritance.
00:31:29Fine.
00:31:30And the second?
00:31:32I...
00:31:34I'd like to receive part of my payment in advance to purchase a residence.
00:31:38Because of Scar?
00:31:39You've seen it yourself.
00:31:41That scum would do anything for money.
00:31:43I need somewhere safe.
00:31:45Scar and his mistress have already been thrown into the dungeon on suspicion of treason and collying with the enemy.
00:31:50You... when did you...
00:31:51While you were unconscious.
00:31:53And I've also had Edward replace every last guard at your castle.
00:31:57He had everything set in motion long before I woke up.
00:32:00Step by step, he's been backing me into a corner.
00:32:02What a ruthless, calculating bastard.
00:32:05You have my gratitude, General, for all the trouble you've gone to.
00:32:11Melris, just how long do you think you can keep running from me?
00:32:20Melris!
00:32:21What were you doing coming out of General Eric's estate today?
00:32:24And wearing his shirt, no less!
00:32:25Am I required to report my whereabouts to you?
00:32:27You don't have to report anything to me.
00:32:29But you're a married woman spending the night in another man's house.
00:32:32Have you no shame?
00:32:33Aren't you worried about dragging the Valentine name through the mud?
00:32:35General Eric is Scar's cousin.
00:32:36I call him my brother-in-law.
00:32:37What's wrong with visiting family?
00:32:39Forget it.
00:32:39I didn't come here to argue.
00:32:40I just wanted to remind you, you're already married.
00:32:42So the woman General Eric has been searching for all across the city can only be me.
00:32:45After all, you didn't come to my house that night, did you?
00:32:47I trust you know exactly what to do, my dear cousin.
00:32:49I know you envy me, being the woman who'll soon be at General Eric's side.
00:32:52Not like you.
00:32:53Your mother died young, and if Grandfather hadn't gone seen me and left you a scrap of the estate,
00:32:57even Scar would have been out of your league.
00:32:59So now that I've got something on you, you'd better fall in line.
00:33:03You dare hit me?
00:33:04I'll help you.
00:33:05But insulting Grandfather, that you deserved.
00:33:08And one more thing.
00:33:09My parents may have died young, but they did teach me one lesson.
00:33:12Do not provoke me, and I will not provoke you.
00:33:15But if you do provoke me, I will return it a hundredfold.
00:33:19Starting tomorrow, I'll use my knee injury as an excuse.
00:33:22I'll tell Eric I can't travel, so he'll have to come here for our discussions.
00:33:27When that happens, you can seize the opportunity yourself.
00:33:31Since when are you so generous?
00:33:33I need someone to distract him.
00:33:35You need a chance to get close to him.
00:33:37We each get what we want.
00:33:38You'd better mean what you say.
00:33:42Your vanity, dear cousin, has just done me an enormous favor.
00:33:53Two months.
00:33:54The northern route must be solid.
00:33:56How much does your garrison need for spring?
00:33:59It's still winter.
00:34:00Why ask that now?
00:34:01To be prepared.
00:34:03Spring floods are coming.
00:34:05Every foot the river rises.
00:34:07The supply boats draw one less foot.
00:34:10One delay, and the northern forts go hungry for three days.
00:34:15Why are you here?
00:34:16My cousin asked me to stay.
00:34:18So I did.
00:34:20I heard you talking about supplies.
00:34:22Grandfather taught me a thing or two.
00:34:24Hope you don't mind.
00:34:25If you have something useful to say, say it.
00:34:30Then I'll be bold.
00:34:31About the northern route, there are only three routes.
00:34:34She stayed up all night memorizing my plan, word for word.
00:34:37But is he really that attractive?
00:34:39That road is safest, but the terrain is rough.
00:34:41So the caravans can load at the eastern waterway.
00:34:44That way, the relay stations won't be overwhelmed.
00:34:50Just some thoughts, General.
00:34:53Don't laugh at me.
00:34:56Seems the Valiant family has more than one businesswoman.
00:35:00You're too kind, General.
00:35:02I just read a few books.
00:35:04Nothing like my cousin.
00:35:07Lady Melris.
00:35:12Did you arrange Lady Adele for me?
00:35:14As a surprise?
00:35:19Of course not.
00:35:20General, don't joke like that.
00:35:28Just joking.
00:35:29No offense, Lady Adele.
00:35:40But you named three routes.
00:35:42Grayport's got salt inspections.
00:35:44Eastern waterway's risky in spring floods.
00:35:46Northern road has bandits.
00:35:48If you had to pick one, which is safest?
00:35:51That sounds simple, but it's not.
00:35:54Weather, manpower, military schedules.
00:35:57I haven't figured it out yet.
00:36:02Use all three, General.
00:36:04Spread the risk.
00:36:05If one fails, the others keep the supply going.
00:36:09Three routes cost three times the money.
00:36:11If the Empire just wanted to buy safety,
00:36:13why hire merchants just print more coin?
00:36:16Business is like war.
00:36:18Memorizing tactics doesn't make you a General.
00:36:21He knew.
00:36:22He knew.
00:36:23He knew she was just reciting.
00:36:25I'm sorry.
00:36:26I didn't think it through.
00:36:29That bitch.
00:36:30She left out details on purpose.
00:36:34Made me look like a fool in front of him.
00:36:39Took you long enough.
00:36:41You want to die?
00:36:43Sorry, my lady.
00:36:44I didn't want it to be too hot.
00:36:47Useless.
00:36:48Get out.
00:36:53You like attention?
00:36:55Fine.
00:36:57I'll give you plenty.
00:37:06I wasn't much help just now.
00:37:09So I had the kitchen make coffee.
00:37:11For the General and my cousin.
00:37:24Cousin, you used to love this blend as a child.
00:37:26Still the same, I hope?
00:37:28She knows this coffee gives me cramps.
00:37:30And I'm pregnant.
00:37:32Thank you, cousin, but...
00:37:34I ground the beans myself this morning.
00:37:37You won't even take a sip.
00:37:38After I went to all that trouble.
00:37:40You misunderstand.
00:37:40I just take my coffee, Lisa.
00:37:42More sugar.
00:37:44Fine.
00:37:44I'll get you some.
00:37:45Wait here.
00:37:56If I spill it, she'll say I challenge her.
00:37:59But where can I pour it with him watching?
00:38:04General.
00:38:07Next time you don't want something, knock it over.
00:38:10In front of me, you don't have to spare anyone's feelings.
00:38:14Cousin, here's your...
00:38:17General, you drank hers too?
00:38:26Sorry.
00:38:26Let me clean that up.
00:38:31Scatter.
00:38:32Then gather.
00:38:37I've got it!
00:38:38Someone said, give me a lever and I'll move the world.
00:38:41Why not find a lever for the northern route too?
00:38:45You mean Silverbush.
00:38:48Right.
00:38:49Grayport can't handle big wagons, but it can take sealed crates and small boats.
00:38:53Eastern waterways, eastern waterways risky in spring, but light boats can make it.
00:38:58Northern road runs empty carriages and guards.
00:39:01By the time anyone notices, the grain's already on the north, so we split everything into three.
00:39:07Send to Silverberg first.
00:39:08The enemy sees three fake roads, but the real road, they never see coming.
00:39:16A diversion!
00:39:17Brilliant!
00:39:18You really are the one I chose, Melris.
00:39:21You're too kind.
00:39:23There she goes again, stealing the show.
00:39:26I should have made her drink that coffee.
00:39:28General, your neck and your hands.
00:39:33Don't scratch.
00:39:36That looks like a nettle rash.
00:39:38Scratching will leave scars.
00:39:40You put something in the coffee.
00:39:43What?
00:39:44I don't know.
00:39:51I didn't, I swear.
00:39:55Get a physician.
00:39:57If there's anything in that coffee that shouldn't be there, the dungeon is the least of your worries.
00:40:01General, I was only trying to...
00:40:02Get out!
00:40:06General, until the physician arrives, the itching will get worse.
00:40:10Let me make you a salve.
00:40:11My grandfather taught me some remedies.
00:40:14Fine.
00:40:15Try.
00:40:17Quick, get me plantates, calumdala, rose water, and some cold cream base.
00:40:22Oh, my God.
00:40:27Out.
00:40:27Close the door.
00:40:43General, the salve is ready.
00:40:45Then what are you waiting for?
00:40:46Come here, help me put it on.
00:40:49But you said you don't like people touching you.
00:40:52Once is strange.
00:40:53Twice is familiar.
00:40:54Not the first time.
00:40:55Still shy?
00:41:07You have to admit, this body, those muscles, it's deadly.
00:41:14Have to admit, this body, those muscles, it's deadly.
00:41:18Had enough?
00:41:21What?
00:41:22What?
00:41:22I...
00:41:25Your salve works.
00:41:27Itching's almost gone.
00:41:28But your technique is terrible.
00:41:33General!
00:41:34The rash is definitely from stinging nettle.
00:41:37But the coffee is clean.
00:41:39No poison.
00:41:40No poison in the coffee.
00:41:54General, I've tested both cups carefully.
00:41:58No poison whatsoever.
00:41:59But the handle of this cup, there's trace amounts of stinging nettle pulp.
00:42:07General, you heard him.
00:42:08No poison in the coffee, I was just trying to be nice.
00:42:11How could I possibly want to hurt you?
00:42:12It must be the kitchen staff.
00:42:14They handled wild vegetables without washing their hands.
00:42:16Then they touched the cups.
00:42:17That's possible.
00:42:18Young nettle can be boiled and eaten.
00:42:20Some servants use it as cheap greens.
00:42:22Cousin, this is your castle.
00:42:23Aren't you going to question your own servants?
00:42:25If someone tried to poison the general, that's a death sentence.
00:42:36The pulp is dry by now.
00:42:38No one saw her do it.
00:42:39Even if we investigate, she'll blame the kitchen.
00:42:42General, the physician already said there's no poison.
00:42:45You're not seriously hurt.
00:42:47Why don't we leave it here?
00:42:48Otherwise, someone might use this to sow discord in the household.
00:42:51Cousin!
00:42:53Are you still accusing me?
00:42:56Just thinking out loud.
00:42:58Don't read too much into it, cousin.
00:43:04My lady!
00:43:05Duke Iles has arrived.
00:43:09Oh, Duke Iles!
00:43:12Father!
00:43:15My dear girl, don't cry.
00:43:16Tell me, who made you cry?
00:43:18Father, someone tried to say I poisoned General Eric's coffee.
00:43:21Eric!
00:43:22My daughter is spoiled but never dare poison anyone.
00:43:25This must be a misunderstanding.
00:43:26Don't you agree?
00:43:32Same Valentine blood.
00:43:34How can they be so different?
00:43:37Duke, don't worry.
00:43:38This happened in Lady Melris's castle.
00:43:40She's not pressing charges.
00:43:42Neither am I.
00:43:43Good.
00:43:45A misunderstanding then.
00:43:46Let's move on.
00:43:47No!
00:43:48We can't just let this go.
00:43:50Her servants must be the ones who did this.
00:43:52We should question every single one of them.
00:43:54Shut your mouth, Adele!
00:43:56If you want Eric, don't act like a fool in front of him.
00:43:59Know when to stop.
00:44:01Understand?
00:44:03General, I'm also here on the Emperor's orders.
00:44:06He's concerned.
00:44:07You locked up Vanlant Scar for treason.
00:44:09But he's still a titled noble.
00:44:11You didn't file any paperwork with the court.
00:44:12That puts the Emperor in a difficult position.
00:44:14It's a delicate matter.
00:44:16I am a witness.
00:44:17The man who broke into my castle admitted Scar sent him to assault me.
00:44:20Lady Melris, the Emperor is sympathetic to your ordeal.
00:44:23But one woman's testimony isn't enough to convict a Vittart.
00:44:25Besides, you're still husband and wife.
00:44:27Wouldn't it be more dignified to find a compromise?
00:44:30No compromise.
00:44:32Lady Melris, the Emperor's wish is...
00:44:34You can tell the Emperor this.
00:44:35I may be a merchant's daughter, but I won't be bullied.
00:44:38If he wants me to drop this, Suscar returns everything my grandfather left me and he divorces me.
00:44:42What?
00:44:44I agree.
00:44:51The Valentine estate is tied to the northern supply route.
00:44:54It's a matter of imperial security.
00:44:56Scar couldn't even protect his own wife.
00:44:58How can he be trusted with such assets?
00:45:00Better put it in the right hands.
00:45:02You too.
00:45:03I'll convey your proposal to the Emperor.
00:45:06Thank you, Duke.
00:45:16Melris, you're a clever woman.
00:45:18If you help Adele marry General Eric, I'll put in a good word for you with the Emperor.
00:45:22You're very invested in your daughter's marriage, Duke.
00:45:24The whole city knows Eric is looking for the masked woman from that night.
00:45:27My daughter claimed it was her.
00:45:29The Duke's honor is at stake.
00:45:30So it doesn't matter who it really was.
00:45:32It has to be Adele.
00:45:35I knew you'd understand.
00:45:44After the Duke left, things were calm.
00:45:46I put everything into the Mortham supply plan.
00:45:57Less than to the month, our plan was ready.
00:46:00The first Tushed shipment was about to leave.
00:46:10Looks like the test run worked.
00:46:15Melris, I want to throw a banquet.
00:46:18A banquet?
00:46:20Who should we invite?
00:46:22You handle it.
00:46:30Who to invite?
00:46:32The Emperor hasn't agreed to my terms yet.
00:46:34He's still unhappy about Eric's actions.
00:46:36If I push too hard, it might backfire.
00:46:44I'll need the Duke to speak on my behalf.
00:46:51Beth?
00:46:52My lady, what do you need?
00:46:58Deliver this to Duke Isles' estate.
00:47:00Put it in his hands personally.
00:47:16Sorry for the poor hospitality.
00:47:19Please forgive me.
00:47:20Lady Melris, I can hardly believe it.
00:47:23You've opened the northern supply route in such a short time.
00:47:26You flatter me, my lord.
00:47:27None of this would be possible without General Eric's trust.
00:47:31And your support behind the scenes.
00:47:33Melris.
00:47:35Uncle.
00:47:35The General isn't here yet?
00:47:37He's dealing with urgent military matters.
00:47:40He asked me to open the evening in his place.
00:47:42A married woman, acting like she's the lady of the house.
00:47:45How does she have the nerve?
00:47:49General.
00:47:51The banquet has started.
00:47:53Aren't you going?
00:47:54Better to let it out here than lose control in front of everyone.
00:48:02Tonight, I want every noble in the capital to see what Melris is worth.
00:48:06The northern supply plan, plus the support of the aristocracy.
00:48:09Even if the emperor resists, he'll have to let her take back what's hers.
00:48:12General, you've gone to great lengths for her.
00:48:16She deserves it.
00:48:17General Eric is just so busy.
00:48:19He insists on doing everything himself, but he told me tonight's banquet.
00:48:24Nominally for celebration, but actually.
00:48:26Actually what, Adele?
00:48:28Don't stop there.
00:48:30Actually, it's for me.
00:48:32Is he going to propose?
00:48:33Oh, don't say that.
00:48:35But, soon.
00:48:37Unlike some people, can't even keep her own husband.
00:48:40Her inheritance is slipping away.
00:48:42How pathetic.
00:48:45Same old lines.
00:48:46No imagination.
00:48:48Cousin.
00:48:48Once the general and I are engaged, do you really think you can keep hanging around him?
00:48:52A married woman?
00:48:53If that happens, I'll congratulate you.
00:48:55In another month, my partnership with the general ends.
00:48:58He'll be all yours.
00:48:59What did you say?
00:49:04Say that again.
00:49:06General!
00:49:07You're finally here!
00:49:14Who invited her?
00:49:22Who invited her?
00:49:23Who invited her?
00:49:25My cousin meant well.
00:49:27She wrote to me herself.
00:49:29Asked me to come.
00:49:30If I've upset the general, I'll leave.
00:49:33General!
00:49:35You...
00:49:40Damn it.
00:49:41He didn't even look at me.
00:49:46Why did you invite that woman?
00:49:50You said I could arrange the guest list.
00:49:52Not her!
00:49:52A liar.
00:49:54The Duke is the Emperor's right hand.
00:49:56I couldn't not invite him and he'd bring her.
00:50:00So you sold me out to get your inheritance back?
00:50:02Yes.
00:50:03If that's how you see it.
00:50:05But do you really want the Emperor to think you're a threat?
00:50:08Distrust you?
00:50:10Even turn against you?
00:50:12Then you'd lose everything.
00:50:13Just like me.
00:50:15You're worried about me?
00:50:16I'm not.
00:50:18I just want to know how you'll help me get my inheritance back.
00:50:21The two months are almost out.
00:50:24Melris.
00:50:26Why do you keep pushing me away?
00:50:45General Eric, where did you go?
00:50:47I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:50:49No!
00:50:52No!
00:50:53No!
00:50:55No!
00:50:57No!
00:50:58My daughter is carrying your child. Is this how you treat her?
00:51:05What did you say?
00:51:15Eric! My daughter is pregnant with your child! How much more humiliation must she endure?
00:51:31Impossible.
00:51:35You don't believe it?
00:51:37Dr. Sear!
00:51:43Lady Adele, if you please.
00:51:48Yes.
00:51:51Eric, let's be honest. We both know Adele isn't a woman from that night.
00:51:57But do you really want the truth to come out? Even if you could prove she's lying?
00:52:02Would you dare?
00:52:04The Emperor himself would be desperate to be like that.
00:52:06Then go ahead.
00:52:07Let everyone know that Maris, a married woman, committed adultery.
00:52:10She won't get her inheritance back. She'll be lucky to stay alive.
00:52:13Marry Adele. Our houses unite.
00:52:15The Emperor would welcome it. It's best for everyone. Even for Maris.
00:52:20Fine.
00:52:22Everyone!
00:52:23Lady Adele's urine is pale yellow, slightly cloudy, after standing a white precipitation forms.
00:52:28This indicates pregnancy. Early stage, but 70% certain.
00:52:45I see.
00:52:49I agree.
00:52:51Two weeks from now, I will marry Lady Adele.
00:53:16I keep telling myself he's just a partner. A killer. A madman I should stay away from.
00:53:25I hate being light.
00:53:27But the memories keep coming back. I can't stop them.
00:53:33I can't believe General Eric proposed to Lady Adele tonight.
00:53:38And the wedding is in two weeks.
00:53:44I heard she's already pregnant. That's why it's so rushed.
00:53:47The Emperor himself would be dead. I must remember what we gave you to her.
00:53:51This is all my fault.
00:53:55If I hadn't dragged him into that dance, he wouldn't have been searching for that woman.
00:53:59Adele wouldn't have had a chance.
00:54:01Now the Duke is threatening him.
00:54:03Adele is pretending to be pregnant. He's trapped.
00:54:06You're the one I chose, Melis.
00:54:09No.
00:54:10I'll let you down.
00:54:13My lady, you haven't eaten in two weeks.
00:54:16You'll make yourself ill.
00:54:20I've made up my mind.
00:54:21I'm going to see Eric.
00:54:23But soon...
00:54:26You may have to leave this cost.
00:54:28Whatever you decide, my lady, I shouldn't know the rest.
00:54:37Thank you, Pastor.
00:54:43This all started because of me.
00:54:46Even if they call me a whore.
00:54:48Even if I lose any hope of getting my inheritance back.
00:54:52I have to tell them the truth.
00:54:53I have to tell them the truth.
00:54:58Eric, whatever it costs me, this time, I'll face it with you.
00:55:05I won't let you carry this alone.
00:55:10This isn't right.
00:55:12Stop the carriage!
00:55:13Why are we going this way?
00:55:15Took you long enough to notice, my lady.
00:55:18You work for Adele.
00:55:23The lady knew you'd go to the general.
00:55:34The box fell out. Should we get it?
00:55:36Who cares? The lady only wants her.
00:55:41Women wants that general.
00:55:43What's he got that I don't?
00:55:44The lady won't even look at me.
00:55:47Hmph. You?
00:55:48If anyone, it should be me.
00:55:51Maybe that kid in her belly is mine.
00:55:54She called me to her room plenty of times.
00:55:57She called me too.
00:55:58Who knows who the father really is?
00:56:01She's sleeping with her own guards?
00:56:03And she wants to marry Eric.
00:56:06She's insane.
00:56:14Cousin, you slapped me before.
00:56:17Now we're even.
00:56:25Adele, the truth always comes out.
00:56:27Keep telling yourself that.
00:56:29Once the Emperor proves nothing else matters.
00:56:32Oh, I have good news for you.
00:56:34You should thank Eric and my father.
00:56:37The Emperor just signed over all the Valentine property to you.
00:56:43Now what will you do to the woman who made you lose everything?
00:56:48Enjoy yourself.
00:56:49I don't want anyone knowing she's here until after the wedding.
00:56:54Melris.
00:57:01My dear, we meet again.
00:57:04Adele told me everything.
00:57:06You and Eric.
00:57:08No wonder he's always protecting you.
00:57:10If you're carrying his bastard, I hope it's born as mad as he is.
00:57:15Mad or not, at least it won't be a fool like you.
00:57:18Used and thrown away without even knowing it.
00:57:21What do you mean?
00:57:22Kill me and you'll hang.
00:57:24I won't kill you.
00:57:26I'll make you wish you were dead.
00:57:28Then Adele defeat me and blames you.
00:57:30You're the perfect scapegoat.
00:57:33What do you think the Emperor will do then?
00:57:36I've got nothing left.
00:57:38I'm a dead man walking.
00:57:40Taking you with me?
00:57:42Worth it!
00:57:46Damn it.
00:57:47Ever since she left.
00:57:49Even killing prisoners only helps for a moment now.
00:57:54General.
00:57:54Just need the final route map for Silverbirth.
00:57:56Lady Malesh was supposed to bring it this morning.
00:57:58She didn't come?
00:57:59No.
00:58:00And she didn't send word either.
00:58:05General!
00:58:06Please save my lady!
00:58:07What happened to her?
00:58:09She left yesterday with a box.
00:58:11Said she was coming to you to tell you everything.
00:58:15She...
00:58:17General.
00:58:18Found this on the road to your estate.
00:58:20Inside, an earring.
00:58:22Looks like the one Lady Adele wears.
00:58:25That's it.
00:58:26That's the box my lady was carrying.
00:58:29The road to my estate also leads to Adele's villa.
00:58:34Move.
00:58:36Now.
00:58:41Who goes there?
00:58:43This is Duke's property!
00:58:50Stay outside.
00:58:57Eric!
00:58:58Look!
00:58:59Isn't it beautiful?
00:59:02Where is Melris?
00:59:04I don't know what you're talking about.
00:59:06Eric, I'm your fiancé.
00:59:08I'm carrying your child.
00:59:10Why do you always think of her?
00:59:11I won't ask again.
00:59:13Eric, this is a Duke's castle.
00:59:15You want to search it?
00:59:16Then follow the rules.
00:59:17Hand over your sword.
00:59:25That's better.
00:59:26Come, my dear fiancé.
00:59:27Let me show you around our new home.
00:59:36Ah, you bitch!
00:59:41Look, this is the nursery.
00:59:42For our child.
00:59:43Do you like blue or pink?
00:59:45He'll be just as handsome as you, I'm sure.
00:59:52Just rats in the wine cellar.
00:59:58Open that carpet.
01:00:00Now.
01:00:07Bitch.
01:00:10Let me give you some air before you die.
01:00:21Make a sound and I'll kill you now.
01:00:31See? Nothing. Just rats.
01:00:41Light it up!
01:00:44There's someone down there.
01:00:46Where are they?
01:00:49Die!
01:00:53Eric.
01:00:54Even if you are my fiancé, treating me like this, the Emperor himself wouldn't side with you.
01:01:05Help me.
01:01:06Help me.
01:01:15It's wood.
01:01:18Eric!
01:01:19Melis is a married woman!
01:01:21Going crazy over her!
01:01:25The whole Empire will laugh at you for taking Zaka's leftovers!
01:01:30Help me!
01:01:31David...
01:01:33No!
01:01:44Melis!
01:01:47Eric!
01:01:55Watch out!
01:01:56Zeke's still here.
01:01:57Look!
01:01:58Ah, Glen!
01:01:59Black.
01:02:00Mary, Black.
01:02:00Black.
01:02:00Oh, my God.
01:02:02Cousin, you really can't stay away from this whore, can you?
01:02:08You pathetic fool.
01:02:10Pointing a knife at me.
01:02:14Still looking down on me?
01:02:17After I defeat you, I'll have my fun with her.
01:02:20Then she's dead too.
01:02:21Enough talk.
01:02:26Catch Eric!
01:02:33Shut up, bitch!
01:02:39Cousin, you're a fool.
01:02:41Throwing your life away for a woman?
01:02:57No, don't kill me, cousin.
01:02:59We're family.
01:03:00Think of your aunt.
01:03:02Get out.
01:03:04You're not worth the effort.
01:03:08Look out!
01:03:18Zelda.
01:03:20Put your arm.
01:03:22It's fine. It doesn't hurt.
01:03:34Thank God.
01:03:36You're alive.
01:03:37You idiot.
01:03:38Why do you always show up when I need you?
01:03:41You kept pushing me away.
01:03:43But after I took you from Scar that night,
01:03:46I knew it was you.
01:03:49How?
01:03:51Because you're different.
01:03:54I won the war in the north.
01:03:57But my regiment, Crimson Raven, was wiped out.
01:04:02Since that day, I've never really left that battlefield.
01:04:09Everyone and everything, they rot in my eyes.
01:04:18You that night?
01:04:27Of course, killing those prisoners helps, too.
01:04:30Revenge for my men.
01:04:31The vision's stopped for a while.
01:04:33The rumors.
01:04:34They said you kill for fun.
01:04:36It's because of this.
01:04:37They had my brother's blood on their hands.
01:04:40They deserve to die.
01:04:42I hid from you because I thought you were a monster.
01:04:46Maybe I am.
01:04:47But if I hadn't met you that night,
01:04:49my world would be nothing but hell.
01:04:58You've suffered enough.
01:05:05My dear son-in-law,
01:05:07the wedding is about to start,
01:05:09and here you are hiding in a cellar
01:05:11with another man's wife.
01:05:12How unbecoming.
01:05:18Duke, is this your wedding party or a coup?
01:05:22What do you think, General?
01:05:25The Emperor himself is officiating.
01:05:27Only you could draw him here.
01:05:30Your target is the Emperor.
01:05:32Two choices.
01:05:34Put on the suit.
01:05:35Marry my daughter.
01:05:37I promise Lady Melris will live.
01:05:41Or you both die here.
01:05:43Fine.
01:05:44But you swear she won't be harmed?
01:05:46Of course.
01:05:48Take the groom to change.
01:05:56Get rid of the woman.
01:05:57Cleanly.
01:06:07Sorry, my lady.
01:06:09Nothing personal.
01:06:10You're just in the way.
01:06:13Okay.
01:06:26Forgive me, my lady.
01:06:28The general had me wait outside the castle.
01:06:29He guessed something like this might happen.
01:06:37I won't kill you.
01:06:39But at the wedding, in front of the Emperor,
01:06:42you'll say what you said in the carriage.
01:06:44Every word.
01:06:46Lady Adele will have our heads.
01:06:48She was going to kill you anyway.
01:06:50After I'm dead, would she leave two witnesses alive?
01:06:54Fine.
01:06:56Fine.
01:06:58Time is short, Edward.
01:06:59Split up.
01:06:59You take them to the Imperial Guard.
01:07:00Wait outside the chapel.
01:07:01I'll go ahead.
01:07:02My lady, that's too dangerous.
01:07:03If the general finds out...
01:07:18These ceremonial guards are wearing battle armor.
01:07:21The Duke's men.
01:07:24Eric, are you unwell?
01:07:30Your majesty, the general is merely tired.
01:07:33Wedding nerves, perhaps.
01:07:36Remember, Melis is still in my hands.
01:07:39Ruin this wedding.
01:07:40She won't see tomorrow.
01:07:43General Eric Rosenheit.
01:07:45Do you take Lady Adele to be your wedded wife?
01:07:48To have and to hold?
01:07:50He does not!
01:08:05Who is that?
01:08:06How dare they interrupt the wedding in front of his majesty?
01:08:17Sorry, Lady Adele.
01:08:18He's already taken.
01:08:23Who are you?
01:08:24How dare you?
01:08:26Guards!
01:08:27Remove this woman!
01:08:31Impressive.
01:08:32You've saved me enough times.
01:08:34Let me save you for once.
01:08:40Del.
01:08:42Eric doesn't belong to you.
01:08:43Oh, it's you.
01:08:44The whore.
01:08:45Come to steal another woman's wedding?
01:08:47Eric, come here.
01:08:48I am the one you're looking for.
01:08:49I'm carrying your child.
01:08:49Lie often enough and you start to believe it yourself.
01:08:53Lady Adele was never at that mass for me.
01:08:56She lied.
01:08:57She forced me to cover from her because my aunt had something on me.
01:09:00That's how she fooled everyone.
01:09:01Even the general.
01:09:02Lies!
01:09:03You have an earring, so do I.
01:09:04That hurts nothing.
01:09:05And I'm pregnant with the general's child.
01:09:07That no one can deny.
01:09:11Really?
01:09:16Gentlemen, in front of his majesty and the court, tell us, who really fathered Lady Adele's child?
01:09:25It was me!
01:09:26No, him!
01:09:27Your majesty, spare us!
01:09:29She called both of us to her chambers!
01:09:31We don't know whose it is!
01:09:36Duke Isles!
01:09:37This is the daughter you raised!
01:09:38How much else have you been hiding from me?
01:09:40My daughter just wanted to marry.
01:09:42What harm was there?
01:09:43But since you're all so eager to humiliate us...
01:09:45Your majesty, let's continue the celebration.
01:09:47Since my daughter's wedding is off, how about a coronation instead?
01:09:53Your majesty, you trusted that mad dog from the north too much.
01:10:00The capital's finances, the noble marriages, the palace defences.
01:10:03Who controls all of it?
01:10:06My house.
01:10:07Yes!
01:10:07This is treason!
01:10:09History is written by the victor.
01:10:11I wanted to use the marriage to control the general.
01:10:13Take my time.
01:10:14The plans change.
01:10:16You think you can protect anyone?
01:10:34Lady Malice already warned the Imperial Guard.
01:10:37Your own men are on their way!
01:10:58Your fight is with me.
01:11:08Arrest them!
01:11:09Every last one of the traitors!
01:11:14I should be the one standing beside him.
01:11:17It's all because of you, Malice.
01:11:21Die, bitch!
01:11:25Arrest!
01:11:33Eric!
01:11:41The bride...
01:11:43should have been...
01:11:45me.
01:11:45I need...
01:11:46No!
01:11:51Eric!
01:11:52Eric!
01:11:55Eric!
01:11:57Eric!
01:11:57Eric!
01:11:57Eric!
01:12:03The general has a strong constitution.
01:12:06He'll live.
01:12:07But he needs months of rest.
01:12:09The wounds are deep.
01:12:13Why did you have to be so stupid, throwing yourself in front of a knife for me?
01:12:24You even cry beautifully.
01:12:26You're awake!
01:12:27Stop joking at a time like this!
01:12:29I'm here.
01:12:32I'm not afraid to die.
01:12:34The only thing I'm afraid of is you ignoring me.
01:12:37If you ever throw yourself in front of a knife again, and I really will ignore you.
01:12:42Malice, will you marry me?
01:12:48Malice, will you marry me?
01:12:53I'll marry you.
01:12:54I'll marry you.
01:12:55You said it.
01:12:56No taking it back.
01:12:59But after I interrupted the wedding, everyone knows I slept with you while I was still married.
01:13:03The Emperor doesn't approve of me.
01:13:05I'm afraid...
01:13:06As long as you're willing, nothing else matters.
01:13:22Oh!
01:13:23I almost forgot to tell you something.
01:13:32A secret.
01:13:34A secret.
01:13:34What secret?
01:13:40I'm pregnant too.
01:13:43What did you just say?
01:13:45I said I'm pregnant.
01:13:47Yours.
01:13:49How long?
01:13:50Since that first night.
01:13:52That's my boy. Why didn't you tell me sooner?
01:13:56I was afraid you'd think I used you, that I just wanted your seed.
01:14:02Idiot. My child. I'll raise him myself.
01:14:07Then you'd better get well soon.
01:14:09For him, I'll be out of bed tomorrow.
01:14:14Don't be silly. The witch doctor said months of rest.
01:14:18Then you stay with me.
01:14:22All right.
