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