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?
00:01:08I'm just an ally, my lady.
00:01:09We're all...
00:01:10Why 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?
00:01:21I'm not gonna use it.
00:01:21These are the consequences.
00:01:34Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
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!
00:02:14Scar 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! The carriage is waiting!
00:02:24If we're late for the victory banquet, the 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.
00:02:38What 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!
00:02:54Forgive 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.
00:03:00Hurry it up.
00:03:13Feed 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.
00:03:28Tonight is a banquet hosted by his majesty himself for my cousin, Eric.
00:03:32Eric, if you hadn't married me, a merchant's daughter like you would never set foot in the royal palace your
00:03:37entire life.
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.
00:04:01Let 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.
00:04:09As 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.
00:04:35His 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.
00:04:46After 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.
00:05:01I'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.
00:05:22Stop embarrassing me here.
00:05:27Count Horne.
00:05:28I'll be back.
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 just...
00:05:56Use mine.
00:06:05It'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.
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.
00:07:14Rumor 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've 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, I need to find Edward.
00:07:43See if they've brought any spare prisoners.
00:07:47Cousin!
00:07:48The party's just starting.
00:07:49What'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.
00:08:07I hardly make a dime.
00:08:11So regarding the rations contract.
00:08:19Shut up!
00:08:21Cousin?
00:08:22Rations were always tight whilst I was on the front.
00:08:25We 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
00:08:31quite the lavish affair.
00:08:32General!
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!
00:08:49All 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.
00:09:14I 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.
00:09:24Are you going to interrogate our marriage now, too?
00:09:26No.
00:09:35Forgive my intrusion.
00:09:38General!
00:09:39General!
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.
00:10:01A stroke of luck, actually.
00:10:02There'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.
00:10:26I was following orders.
00:10:28My 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?
00:10:48Are 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 dream,
00:11:34he'll tear me to pieces.
00:11:36No.
00:11:37The planning of his home 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 and 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?
00:12:30What is Scar's wife doing in a place like this?
00:12:38With someone else's child and those who want to get rid of their own.
00:12:42Those who want to get...
00:12:45Surely the General doesn't think I'm the latter.
00:12:47I hear you and Scar have only been married for three months.
00:12:50In such a rush to have a baby.
00:12:52You're awfully invested in other people's private matters, General.
00:12:56Get out.
00:13:00I caused the burn.
00:13:02The least I can do is treat it.
00:13:03Not necessary.
00:13:04Leave the medicine.
00:13:04I'll do it myself.
00:13:05You can't exactly reach your own back.
00:13:15What a perfect body.
00:13:17Do you usually tend to your own mark, General?
00:13:20Yes.
00:13:20I 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.
00:13:32Is that so?
00:13:33I think it would suit you perfectly.
00:13:37General, please mind your boundaries.
00:13:40Her scent exactly the same.
00:13:49Changed your mind?
00:13:50If the man inside asked what I was doing here, tell him the exact opposite.
00:13:57He has the earring.
00:13:59If he finds out the secret, I'll never be able to explain myself.
00:14:02I need to end this.
00:14:03Fast.
00:14:13Caravans, tariffs, ware's housing.
00:14:15That Lunar Talk wants me to reorganize everything in two days.
00:14:18Does he think I'm the Chancellor of the Exement?
00:14:20Don'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?
00:14:28I refuse to end up like my father, eating through his fortune till nothing was left but the title of
00:14:33a broke nobleman.
00:14:41But I suppose you have a point.
00:14:44What's the harm in selling one or two?
00:14:49Gently.
00:14:51I can't keep the baby.
00:14:53I 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?
00:15:07My lady.
00:15:08What 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.
00:15:17Ska?
00:15:24Ska, we need to talk.
00:15:30Ever heard of knocking?
00:15:33Don't stop.
00:15:34You 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?
00:15:43I said, tell her to get out.
00:15:48Ska?
00:15:52Get out.
00:15:54Why bother kicking me out?
00:15:56We're both women.
00:15:57I can tell you've no interest in intense confrontation me for him.
00:16:00Not necessarily.
00:16:05Spill it.
00:16:06What'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.
00:16:15You seem...
00:16:15different today.
00:16:17You were just too focused on my grandfather's money to notice.
00:16:20Save it.
00:16:21If you fix this logistics mess, I might actually treat you a bit better.
00:16:24On the condition that you stop selling off the grandfather's estate.
00:16:29Deal.
00:16:32But wait!
00:16:33What is it?
00:16:35You're more beautiful.
00:16:37Intoxicating.
00:16:38More?
00:16:39But let me tell you.
00:16:40My name is Ska.
00:16:41Ska Alphronzis.
00:16:44That was close.
00:16:51Wait.
00:16:53Is that her ladyship?
00:16:54Breath?
00:16:55Are you crazy?
00:16:56How dare you fantasize about her ladyship?
00:16:59Ska?
00:17:01I'm telling you for so much.
00:17:03Wait.
00:17:04Wait.
00:17:04I think I heard it too.
00:17:06Oh my...
00:17:10Don't do that.
00:17:11Did you hear?
00:17:12Her ladyship actually consummated the marriage with the ally.
00:17:16I thought he never touched her.
00:17:17It's true.
00:17:21Doesn't she find him repulsive?
00:17:25Finally over.
00:17:27If 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!
00:17:35It's not as if I have any other way out.
00:17:45You don't want to make a fool of yourself in front of your cousin, do you?
00:17:53That was rape!
00:17:55Rape?
00:17:56Aren't we husband and wife?
00:17:57Are you going to tell the whole world that I raped you, Lord Banknett?
00:18:00A merchant's daughter.
00:18:02Shameless as expected.
00:18:03Your grandfather's entail is clear.
00:18:05Only your legitimate child can inherit the valentine shops, lands, and granaries.
00:18:10But I'm telling you right now, you won't get a second chance like that.
00:18:13What, once wasn't enough?
00:18:14Do you really have that little faith in your own... stamina?
00:18:17You bitch!
00:18:18Don't celebrate just yet, Melis.
00:18:20Once you secure those northern contracts for me, you'll be completely useless.
00:18:23I'll make you wish you were dead.
00:18:29Two days.
00:18:32Interesting.
00:18:32Seems you haven't been slacking after all.
00:18:36Of course.
00:18:37How could I neglect a direct order from the general?
00:18:40I poured my energy, sweat, and tears into this...
00:18:42But why does it say to bypass Ashport?
00:18:47Well, because...
00:18:48Because that port is...
00:18:50Narrow.
00:18:51Right?
00:18:51The roads are terrible.
00:18:53I hear it's the largest port in the entire empire.
00:18:55Did you not know that?
00:18:56Because Ashport has been cracking down on salt smuggling recently.
00:18:59The caravans are critical military ranchers for the north.
00:19:01If they go through Ashport and get detained on suspicion of smuggling,
00:19:04the delays would starve the northern garrisons within three weeks.
00:19:07That's why we must reroute through the eastern waterways,
00:19:09although it adds four days to the journey.
00:19:12But at least it's secure.
00:19:21Fascinating.
00:19:21It seems you aren't the real businessman in the Alfonson family, Scott.
00:19:24No, that's not true.
00:19:25A lot of the other routes were my idea.
00:19:28I hate being lied to.
00:19:30Next time, it'll be your throat on the end of this blade.
00:19:34Close one.
00:19:35Looks like he still hasn't recognized me.
00:19:37Northern contracts are yours, fine.
00:19:39But she has to be involved.
00:19:41But cousin!
00:19:42Get out.
00:19:45Lady Melis.
00:19:47I didn't say you could leave.
00:20:06Melis Valentine, your grandfather built a fine business.
00:20:10But a merchant's a merchant.
00:20:12The Alfonson family's fallen shore, but they still have a title.
00:20:16You married him.
00:20:17Give and take.
00:20:19Must be humiliating, though.
00:20:26If you're trying to stir trouble between us, I'll leave.
00:20:31The North is secured, but the Empire is still surrounded.
00:20:34I need talent.
00:20:35Join my staff.
00:20:37Good pay, and I'll help you take back everything Scust's soul.
00:20:40Something's off.
00:20:42You flatter me, General, but I'm just a woman.
00:20:44Why go through all this trouble for me?
00:20:47Because the perfume you wear...
00:20:51It smells just like someone.
00:20:53Someone I can't forget.
00:20:55My perfume costs three silver coins.
00:20:58Half the girls in the city wear it.
00:21:00I enjoy a good play in my spare time.
00:21:02Been working on one lately.
00:21:03A husband steals his wife's inheritance.
00:21:05Flaunts his affair.
00:21:06So the wife, to masquerade, takes a stranger to bed.
00:21:09Right under his nose.
00:21:10What do you think, my lady?
00:21:12Better than what's on at the theater?
00:21:13You've missed your calling, General.
00:21:14I should have been a playwright.
00:21:16Put them on.
00:21:17Then I'll know.
00:21:19General, please.
00:21:20I just want to be sure.
00:21:24Is this your war room or a torture chamber?
00:21:29Both.
00:21:30Let go!
00:21:31Have you lost your mind?
00:21:35This madman, he can't find out.
00:21:40Watch out!
00:21:44The great general, assaulting his cousin's wife and his own whole empire would be ashamed.
00:21:48Find someone else for your staff, General.
00:21:59My lady, the Allies celebrating the Northern Deal.
00:22:02He's taken Lady Lilith to the hunting lodge and chose not to wait for you.
00:22:08Fine.
00:22:10Earrings gone, scars gone.
00:22:12At least tonight I get some peace.
00:22:16General!
00:22:17Are you all right?
00:22:18What happened here?
00:22:23Did you check her aunt's place?
00:22:25Find out if she was really there that night?
00:22:31It's a long way.
00:22:33My man won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest.
00:22:39General, where are you going?
00:22:44To see her.
00:22:45Now.
00:22:49W.
00:22:50The Valentine Crest.
00:23:03Awake?
00:23:04Good.
00:23:06I don't like them cold.
00:23:10Get off!
00:23:12Get off!
00:23:14No!
00:23:16You bitch!
00:23:18This guy said you were a handful.
00:23:19He was right.
00:23:20I like that.
00:23:24Help!
00:23:26Help!
00:23:30Something!
00:23:32Keep yelling, sweethearts.
00:23:34There's no one here.
00:23:36Just you and me.
00:23:38Me.
00:23:47A real lady.
00:23:49Worth every penny.
00:23:51Come here.
00:23:54Why?
00:23:55How did it come to this?
00:23:58I just wanted back what was mine.
00:24:06You dare.
00:24:15Who the hell the hell are you?
00:24:19How did you?
00:24:27Get a carriage.
00:24:28General, she's still Vadriska's wife.
00:24:31Taking her like this, is that wise?
00:24:33You think that bastard treats her like a wife?
00:24:39What a pain.
00:24:40First he cancels the party.
00:24:42Now we're rushing back in the rain.
00:24:44Clever move, my lord.
00:24:45Catch the bitch red-handed.
00:24:47Of course.
00:24:48Even if she is pregnant, who knows whose bastard it is.
00:24:51She'll never touch my inheritance.
00:24:57Why have we stopped?
00:24:59Scar alfrancis!
00:25:01Burglars!
00:25:09Protect the master!
00:25:16Cousin, what are you doing here?
00:25:18Three sentences.
00:25:19Explain.
00:25:21I took everyone to the hunting lodge.
00:25:23There must be some misunderstanding.
00:25:25Two.
00:25:25She's my wife.
00:25:26This is a family matter.
00:25:28You shouldn't...
00:25:28Three!
00:25:29General, this is still our house.
00:25:32And you're holding our mistress.
00:25:34Doesn't look right, does it?
00:25:39Not right.
00:25:40Melis is in charge of my northern supply lines.
00:25:43She was nearly assault in her own home.
00:25:46You and Scar are suspects.
00:25:47I'm taking her in for questioning.
00:25:49Eric, you can't...
00:25:51Edward!
00:25:52Sir!
00:26:02Drive faster!
00:26:03Get to the witch doctor, now!
00:26:14Well, well, look who's awake.
00:26:17My dear wife, did you really think you could get away?
00:26:20Watching us enjoy your grandfather's fortune must break your heart.
00:26:27Be always the hours.
00:26:29But it was always meant to be ours.
00:26:39Maris, as your savior, I think I've earned the right to know the truth about that night.
00:26:45You're...
00:26:45You're right.
00:26:57You're awake.
00:26:58My clothes.
00:26:59You cut your knee pretty badly fighting that bastard.
00:27:01They were soaked in blood.
00:27:02I threw them out.
00:27:09Then who changed me into this?
00:27:14The witch doctor from that day.
00:27:16You know her?
00:27:18So, the woman in the mask that night.
00:27:21That was you, wasn't it?
00:27:25I...
00:27:28Sir, the scout has returned.
00:27:30The woman from that night has been found.
00:27:31It is not Lady Melris.
00:27:33What?
00:27:40What did you just say?
00:27:42General, we found the masked woman from that night.
00:27:45It's Lady Adele Valentine, daughter of Duke Ace.
00:27:48She's right outside.
00:27:58Melris, what on earth are you doing here?
00:28:04You two know each other.
00:28:08Good day, General.
00:28:10I am Adele Valentine.
00:28:13Melris is my cousin.
00:28:16Take them off.
00:28:23There's even a family crest engraved inside the earring.
00:28:27So that's why you came back to the castle looking for me.
00:28:33How did you come by these?
00:28:34Our grandfather had a pair of pearl earrings custom made for every girl in the Valentine family.
00:28:40My cousin likely has a pair very similar to mine, but not quite the same.
00:28:44Where were you a month ago?
00:28:45I had gone to visit my cousin that day, but as it turned out, she happened to be away at
00:28:48her mother's.
00:28:48When I arrived, I saw the castle was hosting a masquerade ball, and I was curious.
00:28:51I heard you've been searching for the person from that, so I finally worked up the courage to come to
00:28:55you.
00:28:55I know this is hardly proper, but I...
00:28:58I simply couldn't forget you.
00:29:00How can she spew such nauseating lies without a shred of shame?
00:29:04Lady Melris.
00:29:06Is what she said true?
00:29:13Lady Melris.
00:29:15Is what she said true?
00:29:25Is what she said true?
00:29:31General, you believe me now, don't you?
00:29:38Edward.
00:29:39Sir, escort Lady Adel out.
00:29:42Prepare a generous gift to thank her for her candid.
00:29:45What?
00:29:46General, aren't we going to talk a little longer?
00:30:01Lord Eric, thank you for saving me yesterday.
00:30:06I'll take my leave now.
00:30:08I also hope the General can keep what happened last night to himself.
00:30:11Wait!
00:30:12I saved you only because I have no interest in seeing my business partner come to harm.
00:30:18Business partner?
00:30:20When did I ever agree to that?
00:30:21The North cannot go a single day without grain shipments.
00:30:24Scar is worse than useless.
00:30:25I was counting on you from the start.
00:30:27Are you really going to turn me down?
00:30:29Take it.
00:30:30Come work for me.
00:30:32And I can offer you compensation beyond anything you'd imagine.
00:30:36No.
00:30:37If I stay by his side, my belly will grow day by day.
00:30:39He'll find out about the pregnancy sooner or later.
00:30:40This madman will never let me go.
00:30:42I appreciate the offer, my lord, but I must declare the proposal is already in your hands.
00:30:45I'm sure finding someone capable of understanding it won't be difficult.
00:30:47I told you, I have the power to help you reclaim every last piece of your grandfather's estate.
00:30:50Won't you at least consider?
00:30:51Perhaps you're not aware, but that fool Scar could never hold onto an estate of that size.
00:30:56Even the royal family has their eyes on that prize now.
00:30:59What do you think?
00:31:00Will Scar fight to the death to keep it, or will he trade your grandfather's legacy for a title and
00:31:04a promotion?
00:31:10Have you made up your mind?
00:31:12If what he says is true, time is running out, I have to take this gamble.
00:31:17But he can never, ever find out about the child.
00:31:19I have two conditions.
00:31:21Name them.
00:31:22First, I'll serve as your advisor for two months with full authority over the northern trade routes.
00:31:26After two months, whether I succeed or fail, you will honor your promise and help me reclaim my entire inheritance.
00:31:31Fine.
00:31:32And the second?
00:31:34I...
00:31:36I'd like to receive part of my payment in advance to purchase a residence.
00:31:40Because of Scar?
00:31:41You've seen it yourself.
00:31:43That scum would do anything for money.
00:31:45I need somewhere safe.
00:31:47Scar and his mistress have already been thrown into the dungeon on suspicion of treason and collying with the enemy.
00:31:52You... when did you...
00:31:53While you were unconscious.
00:31:54And I've also had Edward replace every last guard at your castle.
00:31:58He had everything set in motion long before I woke up.
00:32:01Step by step, he's been backing me into a corner.
00:32:04What a ruthless, calculating bastard.
00:32:07You have my gratitude, General, for all the trouble you've gone to.
00:32:13Melris, just how long do you think you can keep running from me?
00:32:22Melris!
00:32:23What were you doing coming out of General Eric's estate today?
00:32:25And wearing his shirt, no less!
00:32:27Am I required to report my whereabouts to you?
00:32:29You don't have to report anything to me.
00:32:30But you're a married woman spending the night in another man's house.
00:32:34Have you no shame?
00:32:35Aren't you worried about dragging the Valentine name through the mud?
00:32:37General Eric is Scar's cousin.
00:32:38I call him my brother-in-law.
00:32:39What's wrong with visiting family?
00:32:40Forget it.
00:32:41I didn't come here to argue.
00:32:42I just wanted to remind you.
00:32:43You're already married.
00:32:44So the woman General Eric has been searching for all across the city can only be me.
00:32:47After all, you didn't come to my house that night, did you?
00:32:49I trust you know exactly what to do, my dear cousin.
00:32:50I know you envy me, being the woman who'll soon be at General Eric's side.
00:32:54Not like you.
00:32:55Your mother died young, and if Grandfather hadn't gone see me and left you a scrap of
00:32:59the estate, even Scar would have been out of your league.
00:33:01So now that I've got something on you, you'd better fall in line.
00:33:04You dare hit me?
00:33:05I'll help you.
00:33:07But insulting Grandfather, that you deserved.
00:33:09And one more thing.
00:33:11My parents may have died young, but they did teach me one lesson.
00:33:14Do not provoke me, and I will not provoke you.
00:33:17But if you do provoke me, I will return it a hundredfold.
00:33:21Starting tomorrow, I'll use my knee injury as an excuse.
00:33:24I'll tell Eric I can't travel, so he'll have to come here for our discussions.
00:33:29When that happens, you can seize the opportunity yourself.
00:33:33Since when are you so generous?
00:33:34I need someone to distract him.
00:33:37You need a chance to get close to him.
00:33:39We each get what we want.
00:33:40You'd better mean what you say.
00:33:43Your vanity, dear cousin, has just done me an enormous favor.
00:33:55Two months.
00:33:56The northern route must be solid.
00:33:58How much does your garrison need for spring?
00:34:01It's still winter.
00:34:02Why ask that now?
00:34:03To be prepared.
00:34:05Spring floods are coming.
00:34:07Every foot the river rises.
00:34:09The supply boats draw one less foot.
00:34:12One delay, and the northern forts go hungry for three days.
00:34:17Why are you here?
00:34:18My cousin asked me to stay.
00:34:19So I did.
00:34:22I heard you talking about supplies.
00:34:24Grandfather taught me a thing or two.
00:34:26Hope you don't mind.
00:34:27If you have something useful to say, say it.
00:34:31Then I'll be bold.
00:34:33About the northern route, there are only three routes.
00:34:35She stayed up all night memorizing my plan, word for word.
00:34:39But is he really that attractive?
00:34:41That road is safest, but the terrain is rough.
00:34:43So the caravans can load at the eastern waterway.
00:34:45That way, the relay stations won't be overwhelmed.
00:34:52Just some thoughts, General.
00:34:55Don't laugh at me.
00:34:58Seems the Valiant family has more than one businesswoman.
00:35:02You're too kind, General.
00:35:04I just read a few books.
00:35:06Nothing like my cousin.
00:35:09Lady Mellris.
00:35:14Did you arrange Lady Adele for me?
00:35:16As a surprise?
00:35:21Of course not.
00:35:22General, don't joke like that.
00:35:30Just joking.
00:35:31No offense, Lady Adele.
00:35:41But you named three routes.
00:35:44Grayport's got salt inspections.
00:35:46Eastern waterways risky in spring floods.
00:35:48Northern road has bandits.
00:35:50If you had to pick one, which is safest?
00:35:53That sounds simple, but it's not.
00:35:56Weather, manpower, military schedules.
00:35:59I haven't figured it out yet.
00:36:04Use all three, General.
00:36:06Spread the risk.
00:36:07If one fails, the others keep the supply going.
00:36:11Three routes cost three times the money.
00:36:13If the Empire just wanted to buy safety,
00:36:15why hire merchants just print more coin?
00:36:18Business is like war.
00:36:20Memorizing tactics doesn't make you a General.
00:36:23He knew.
00:36:24He knew.
00:36:25He knew she was just reciting.
00:36:27I'm sorry.
00:36:28I didn't think it through.
00:36:31That bitch.
00:36:32She left out details on purpose.
00:36:36Made me look like a fool in front of him.
00:36:41Took you long enough.
00:36:43You want to die?
00:36:45Sorry, my lady.
00:36:46I didn't want it to be too hot.
00:36:49Useless.
00:36:50Get out.
00:36:55You like attention?
00:36:58Fine.
00:36:59I'll give you plenty.
00:37:08I wasn't much help just now,
00:37:11so I had the kitchen make coffee
00:37:13for the General and my cousin.
00:37:25Cousin.
00:37:26You used to love this blend as a child.
00:37:28Still the same, I hope?
00:37:30She knows this coffee gives me cramps.
00:37:32And I'm pregnant.
00:37:34Thank you, cousin, but...
00:37:36I ground the beans myself this morning.
00:37:39You won't even take a sip.
00:37:40After I went to all that trouble,
00:37:42you misunderstand.
00:37:43I just take my coffee, Weesa.
00:37:44More sugar.
00:37:46Fine.
00:37:46I'll get you some.
00:37:47Wait here.
00:37:58If I spill it, she'll say I challenge her.
00:38:01But where can I pour it with him watching?
00:38:06General.
00:38:09Next time you don't want something,
00:38:11knock it over.
00:38:12In front of me,
00:38:13you don't have to spare anyone's feelings.
00:38:16Cousin, here's your...
00:38:19General, you drank hers too?
00:38:28Sorry.
00:38:29Let me clean that up.
00:38:33Scatter.
00:38:35Then gather.
00:38:39I've got it!
00:38:40Someone said,
00:38:41give me a lever and I'll move the world.
00:38:43Why not find a lever for the northern route too?
00:38:48You mean Silverbush?
00:38:50Right.
00:38:51Right.
00:38:51Grayport can't handle big wagons,
00:38:53but it can take sealed crates and small boats.
00:38:56Eastern waterways risky in spring,
00:38:58but light boats can make it.
00:39:00Northern road runs empty carriages and guards.
00:39:04By the time anyone notices,
00:39:05the grain's already in the north.
00:39:07So we split everything into three.
00:39:09Send to Silverberg first.
00:39:11The enemy sees three fake roads,
00:39:14but the real road,
00:39:15they never see coming.
00:39:18A diversion.
00:39:19Brilliant.
00:39:20You really are the one I chose, Melris.
00:39:24You're too kind.
00:39:25There she goes again,
00:39:27stealing the show.
00:39:29I should have made her drink that coffee.
00:39:30General,
00:39:31your neck
00:39:32and your hands.
00:39:35Don't scratch.
00:39:38That looks like a nettle rash,
00:39:40scratching all these scars.
00:39:42You put something in the coffee.
00:39:45No.
00:39:54I didn't, I swear.
00:39:58Get a physician.
00:39:59If there's anything in that coffee that shouldn't be there,
00:40:01the dungeon is the least of your worries.
00:40:03General, I was only trying to...
00:40:05Get out!
00:40:09General,
00:40:10until the physician arrives,
00:40:11the itching will get worse.
00:40:12Let me make you a salve.
00:40:14My grandfather taught me some remedies.
00:40:16Fine.
00:40:17Try.
00:40:19Quick!
00:40:20Get me plantain,
00:40:21calumdala,
00:40:22rose water
00:40:22and some cold cream base.
00:40:24Oh, my God.
00:40:29Out.
00:40:30Close the door.
00:40:33Close the door.
00:40:46General,
00:40:46the salve is ready.
00:40:48Then what are you waiting for?
00:40:49Come here,
00:40:49help me put it on.
00:40:51But you said you don't like people touching you.
00:40:54Once is strange,
00:40:55twice is familiar.
00:40:56Not the first time.
00:40:58Still shy?
00:40:59Who's shy?
00:41:10Have to admit,
00:41:11this body,
00:41:12those muscles,
00:41:15it's deadly.
00:41:20had enough?
00:41:23What?
00:41:24I...
00:41:27Your salve works.
00:41:29Itching's almost gone,
00:41:31but your technique is terrible.
00:41:35General,
00:41:37the rash is definitely from stinging nettle,
00:41:40but the coffee is clean.
00:41:41No poison.
00:41:43What?
00:41:57General,
00:41:58I've tested both cups carefully.
00:42:00No poison whatsoever.
00:42:02But the handle of this cup,
00:42:05there's trace amounts of stinging nettle pulp.
00:42:09General,
00:42:10you heard him.
00:42:11No poison in the coffee.
00:42:12I was just trying to be nice.
00:42:13How could I possibly want to hurt you?
00:42:15It must be the kitchen staff.
00:42:16They handled wild vegetables
00:42:17without washing their hands.
00:42:19Then they touched the cups.
00:42:20That's possible.
00:42:21Young nettle can be boiled and eaten.
00:42:22Some servants use it as cheap greens.
00:42:24Cousin,
00:42:25this is your castle.
00:42:26Aren't you going to question
00:42:27your own servants?
00:42:28If someone tried to poison the general,
00:42:30that's a death sentence.
00:42:38The pulp is dry by now.
00:42:40No one saw her do it.
00:42:42Even if we investigate,
00:42:43she'll blame the kitchen.
00:42:45General,
00:42:45the physician already said
00:42:46there's no poison.
00:42:48You're not seriously hurt.
00:42:49Why don't we leave it here?
00:42:50Otherwise,
00:42:51someone might use this
00:42:52to sow discord in the household.
00:42:54Cousin,
00:42:55are you still accusing me?
00:42:59Just thinking out loud.
00:43:00Don't read too much into it, cousin.
00:43:06My lady,
00:43:08Duke Isles has arrived.
00:43:12Oh, Duke Isles!
00:43:14Father!
00:43:17My dear girl,
00:43:18don't cry.
00:43:19Tell me,
00:43:20who made you cry?
00:43:21Father,
00:43:21someone tried to say
00:43:22I poisoned General Eric's coffee.
00:43:24Eric,
00:43:24my daughter is spoiled
00:43:26but never dare poison anyone.
00:43:27This must be a misunderstanding.
00:43:29Don't you agree?
00:43:35Same Valentine blood.
00:43:37How can they be so different?
00:43:40Duke,
00:43:40don't worry.
00:43:41This happened in Lady Melris' castle.
00:43:43She's not pressing charges.
00:43:44Neither am I.
00:43:46Good.
00:43:47A misunderstanding then.
00:43:49Let's move on.
00:43:50No!
00:43:51We can't just let this go.
00:43:53Her servants must be the ones
00:43:54who did this.
00:43:55We should question
00:43:56every single one of them.
00:43:57Shut your mouth, Adele.
00:43:59If you want Eric,
00:44:00don't act like a fool
00:44:01in front of him.
00:44:02Know when to stop.
00:44:04Understand?
00:44:06General,
00:44:06I'm also here
00:44:07on the Emperor's orders.
00:44:08He's concerned.
00:44:09You locked up
00:44:10Vanlandt Scar for treason,
00:44:11but he's still a titled noble.
00:44:13You didn't file any paperwork
00:44:14with the court.
00:44:15That puts the Emperor
00:44:15in a difficult position.
00:44:17It's a delicate matter.
00:44:18I am a witness.
00:44:20The man who broke
00:44:20into my castle
00:44:21admitted Scar sent him
00:44:22to assault me.
00:44:23Lady Melris,
00:44:23the Emperor is sympathetic
00:44:24to your ordeal,
00:44:25but one woman's testimony
00:44:26isn't enough
00:44:27to convict a Vittart.
00:44:28Besides,
00:44:28you're still husband and wife.
00:44:30Wouldn't it be more dignified
00:44:31to find a compromise?
00:44:32No compromise.
00:44:35Lady Melris,
00:44:35the Emperor's wish is...
00:44:37You can tell the Emperor this.
00:44:38I may be a merchant's daughter,
00:44:39but I won't be bullied.
00:44:40If he wants me to drop this,
00:44:41Susker returns everything
00:44:42my grandfather left me
00:44:43and he divorces me.
00:44:45What?
00:44:47I agree.
00:44:54The Valentine estate
00:44:55is tied to the northern
00:44:56supply route.
00:44:57It's a matter of
00:44:58imperial security.
00:44:59Scar couldn't even
00:45:00protect his own wife.
00:45:01How can he be trusted
00:45:02with such assets?
00:45:03Better put it
00:45:04in the right hands.
00:45:05You too.
00:45:06I'll convey your proposal
00:45:07to the Emperor.
00:45:09Thank you, Duke.
00:45:19Melris,
00:45:19you're a clever woman.
00:45:21If you help Adele
00:45:21marry General Eric,
00:45:22I'll put in a good word
00:45:23for you with the Emperor.
00:45:25You're very invested
00:45:26in your daughter's marriage, Duke.
00:45:27The whole city knows Eric
00:45:28is looking for the masked woman
00:45:29from that night.
00:45:30My daughter claimed it was her.
00:45:31The Duke's honour
00:45:32is at stake.
00:45:33So it doesn't matter
00:45:34who it really was.
00:45:35It has to be Adele.
00:45:38I knew you'd understand.
00:45:40I knew you'd understand.
00:45:47After the Duke left,
00:45:48things were calm.
00:45:49I put everything
00:45:50into the Mortham supply plan.
00:46:00Less than two to a month,
00:46:02our plan was ready.
00:46:03The first Tushed shipment
00:46:05was about to leave.
00:46:13Looks like the test run worked.
00:46:18Melris,
00:46:19I want to throw a banquet.
00:46:21A banquet?
00:46:23Who should we invite?
00:46:25You handle it.
00:46:33Who to invite?
00:46:35The Emperor hasn't agreed
00:46:36to my terms yet.
00:46:37He's still unhappy
00:46:38about Eric's actions.
00:46:39If I push too hard,
00:46:40it might backfire.
00:46:47I'll need the Duke
00:46:48to speak on my behalf.
00:46:54Beth?
00:46:55My lady,
00:46:56what do you need?
00:47:01Deliver this to Duke
00:47:02Isles' estate.
00:47:03Put it in his hands
00:47:04personally.
00:47:19Sorry for the poor hospitality.
00:47:22Please forgive me.
00:47:23Lady Melris,
00:47:24I can hardly believe it.
00:47:26You've opened the northern supply route
00:47:27in such a short time.
00:47:28You flatter me,
00:47:30my lord.
00:47:30None of this would be possible
00:47:31without General Eric's trust.
00:47:34And your support
00:47:35behind the scenes.
00:47:36Merris.
00:47:38Uncle.
00:47:38The general isn't here yet?
00:47:40He's dealing with
00:47:41urgent military matters.
00:47:43He asked me to open
00:47:44the evening in his place.
00:47:45A married woman
00:47:46acting like she's
00:47:47the lady of the house.
00:47:48How does she have the nerve?
00:47:52General,
00:47:54the banquet has started.
00:47:55Aren't you going?
00:47:57Better to let it out here
00:47:58than lose control
00:47:59in front of everyone.
00:48:05Tonight,
00:48:06I want every noble
00:48:06in the capital
00:48:07to see what Melris is worth.
00:48:09The northern supply plan
00:48:10plus the support
00:48:11of the aristocracy.
00:48:12Even if the emperor resists,
00:48:14he'll have to let her
00:48:14take back what's hers.
00:48:15General,
00:48:16you've gone to great lengths
00:48:16for her.
00:48:19She deserves it.
00:48:20General Eric
00:48:20is just so busy.
00:48:22He insists on doing
00:48:23everything himself,
00:48:24but he told me
00:48:25tonight's banquet.
00:48:27Nominally for celebration,
00:48:28but actually...
00:48:29Actually what?
00:48:30Adele,
00:48:31don't stop there.
00:48:33Actually,
00:48:33it's for me.
00:48:34Is he going to propose?
00:48:36Oh, don't say that.
00:48:38But soon.
00:48:40Unlike some people,
00:48:42can't even keep
00:48:42her own husband.
00:48:43Her inheritance
00:48:44is slipping away.
00:48:45How pathetic.
00:48:48Same old lines.
00:48:49No imagination.
00:48:51Cousin,
00:48:51once the general
00:48:52and I are engaged,
00:48:53do you really think
00:48:54you can keep
00:48:54hanging around him?
00:48:55A married woman?
00:48:56If that happens,
00:48:57I'll congratulate you.
00:48:58In another month,
00:48:59my partnership
00:49:00with the general ends.
00:49:01He'll be all yours.
00:49:02What did you say?
00:49:07Say that again.
00:49:09General,
00:49:10you're finally here.
00:49:17Who invited her?
00:49:25Who invited her?
00:49:27Who invited her?
00:49:28My cousin meant well.
00:49:30She wrote to me herself,
00:49:32asked me to come.
00:49:33If I've upset the general,
00:49:35I'll leave.
00:49:36General,
00:49:38you...
00:49:43Damn it.
00:49:44He didn't even look at me.
00:49:49Why did you invite that woman?
00:49:53You said I could arrange
00:49:54the guest list.
00:49:55Not her!
00:49:55A liar.
00:49:57The Duke is the Emperor's
00:49:59right hand.
00:50:00I couldn't not invite him
00:50:01and he'd bring her.
00:50:03So you sold me out
00:50:04to get your inheritance back?
00:50:05Yes.
00:50:07If that's how you see it.
00:50:08But do you really want
00:50:09the Emperor to think
00:50:10you're a threat?
00:50:11Distrust you?
00:50:13Even turn against you?
00:50:15Then you'd lose everything.
00:50:16Just like me.
00:50:19You're worried about me?
00:50:20I'm not.
00:50:21I just want to know
00:50:22how you'll help me
00:50:22get my inheritance back.
00:50:24The two months
00:50:25are almost out.
00:50:27Melris.
00:50:29Why do you keep
00:50:30pushing me away?
00:50:48General Eric,
00:50:49where did you go?
00:50:50I've been looking
00:50:50everywhere for you.
00:50:55Go away from me!
00:51:00Eric!
00:51:01My daughter
00:51:03is carrying
00:51:03your child.
00:51:04Is this
00:51:05how you treat her?
00:51:08What did you say?
00:51:18Eric!
00:51:20My daughter
00:51:21is pregnant
00:51:22with your child.
00:51:23How much more
00:51:24humiliation
00:51:25must she endure?
00:51:38You don't believe it?
00:51:40Dr. Sear!
00:51:47Lady Adele,
00:51:48if you please.
00:51:52Yes.
00:51:54Eric,
00:51:55let's be honest.
00:51:56We both know
00:51:57Adele
00:51:58isn't a woman
00:51:58from that night.
00:52:00But do you really
00:52:01want the truth
00:52:01to come out?
00:52:02Even if you could
00:52:03prove she's lying?
00:52:06Would you dare?
00:52:07The Emperor himself
00:52:08wouldn't desperate
00:52:09to be like that.
00:52:10Then go ahead.
00:52:10Let everyone know
00:52:11that Maris,
00:52:12a married woman,
00:52:12committed adultery.
00:52:13She won't get
00:52:14her inheritance back.
00:52:15She'll be lucky
00:52:15to stay alive.
00:52:16Marry Adele.
00:52:17Our houses unite.
00:52:19The Emperor
00:52:19would welcome you.
00:52:20It's best for everyone,
00:52:21even for
00:52:22Maris.
00:52:23Fine.
00:52:25Everyone!
00:52:27Lady Adele's urine
00:52:28is pale yellow,
00:52:29slightly cloudy,
00:52:29after standing
00:52:30a white precipitation
00:52:31forms.
00:52:31This indicates
00:52:32pregnancy,
00:52:33early stage,
00:52:33but 70% certain.
00:52:48I see.
00:52:52I agree.
00:52:54Two weeks from now
00:52:55I will marry
00:52:56Lady Adele.
00:53:01I agree.
00:53:08Two weeks from now
00:53:09I will marry
00:53:09Lady Adele.
00:53:20I keep telling
00:53:21myself he's just
00:53:22a partner,
00:53:22a killer,
00:53:23a madman
00:53:24I should stay
00:53:25away from.
00:53:29I hate being light.
00:53:30But the memories
00:53:31keep coming back.
00:53:33I can't stop them.
00:53:36I can't believe
00:53:38General Eric
00:53:38proposed to
00:53:39Lady Adele tonight.
00:53:41And the wedding
00:53:42is in two weeks.
00:53:47I heard she's
00:53:48already pregnant.
00:53:49That's why it's so
00:53:50rushed.
00:53:51The Emperor himself
00:53:51will attend.
00:53:52I must prepare
00:53:53a proper gift.
00:53:55This is all my fault.
00:53:58If I hadn't
00:53:59dragged him
00:54:00into that dance
00:54:00he wouldn't have
00:54:01been searching
00:54:01for that woman.
00:54:02Adele wouldn't
00:54:03have had a chance.
00:54:04Now the Duke
00:54:05is threatening him.
00:54:06Adele is pretending
00:54:07to be pregnant.
00:54:08He's trapped.
00:54:10You're the one
00:54:11I chose, Malice.
00:54:12No.
00:54:14I'll let you down.
00:54:16My lady,
00:54:17you haven't eaten
00:54:18in two weeks.
00:54:19You'll make
00:54:20yourself ill.
00:54:23I've made up
00:54:24my mind.
00:54:25I'm going to see
00:54:26Eric.
00:54:26But soon,
00:54:29you may have
00:54:30to leave this
00:54:30cost.
00:54:31Whatever you decide,
00:54:32my lady,
00:54:33I shouldn't
00:54:34know the rest.
00:54:40Thank you,
00:54:41Bess.
00:54:46This all started
00:54:48because of me.
00:54:49Even if they
00:54:50call me a whore.
00:54:51Even if I lose
00:54:52any hope of getting
00:54:53my inheritance back.
00:54:55I have to tell
00:54:56him the truth.
00:55:02Eric,
00:55:03whatever it costs
00:55:04me,
00:55:05this time,
00:55:06I'll face it
00:55:07with you.
00:55:08I won't let
00:55:09you carry
00:55:10this alone.
00:55:13This isn't
00:55:14right.
00:55:15Stop the carriage!
00:55:16Why are we
00:55:17going this way?
00:55:19Took you long
00:55:20enough to notice,
00:55:21my lady.
00:55:22You work
00:55:23for Adele.
00:55:27The lady knew
00:55:28you'd go to
00:55:29the general.
00:55:37The box fell
00:55:38out.
00:55:39Should we get
00:55:39it?
00:55:39Who cares?
00:55:40The lady
00:55:40only wants
00:55:41her.
00:55:44Women
00:55:45wants that
00:55:45general.
00:55:46What's he
00:55:47got that I
00:55:47don't?
00:55:48The lady
00:55:49won't even
00:55:49look at me.
00:55:51You?
00:55:52If anyone,
00:55:53it should be
00:55:53me.
00:55:54Maybe that
00:55:55kid in her
00:55:56belly is
00:55:56mine.
00:55:57She called
00:55:58me to her
00:55:59room plenty
00:55:59of times.
00:56:00She called
00:56:01me too.
00:56:02Who knows
00:56:02who the
00:56:03father really
00:56:03is?
00:56:04she's
00:56:05sleeping
00:56:05with her
00:56:06own
00:56:06guards
00:56:06and she
00:56:07wants to
00:56:08marry Eric.
00:56:09She's
00:56:10insane.
00:56:17Cousin,
00:56:18you slapped
00:56:19me before.
00:56:20Now we're
00:56:21even.
00:56:28Adele,
00:56:29the truth
00:56:29always comes
00:56:30out.
00:56:31Keep
00:56:32telling yourself
00:56:32that.
00:56:33Once the
00:56:34emperor proves
00:56:35nothing else
00:56:35matters.
00:56:36Oh, I have
00:56:37good news
00:56:37for you.
00:56:38You should
00:56:39thank Eric
00:56:39and my
00:56:40father.
00:56:40The emperor
00:56:41just signed
00:56:42over all
00:56:42the valentine
00:56:43property to
00:56:44you.
00:56:46Now, what
00:56:47will you do
00:56:48to the woman
00:56:48who made
00:56:49you lose
00:56:49everything?
00:56:52Enjoy
00:56:52yourself.
00:56:53I don't want
00:56:54anyone knowing
00:56:54she's here
00:56:55until after
00:56:55the wedding.
00:56:57Melris.
00:57:05my dear,
00:57:06we meet
00:57:07again.
00:57:08Adele
00:57:09told me
00:57:09everything.
00:57:10You
00:57:11and Eric.
00:57:12No wonder
00:57:12he's always
00:57:13protecting you.
00:57:14If you're
00:57:14carrying his
00:57:15bastard,
00:57:15I hope it's
00:57:16born as
00:57:16mad as
00:57:16he is.
00:57:19Mad or not,
00:57:20at least it
00:57:21won't be a fool
00:57:21like you,
00:57:22used and thrown
00:57:22away without
00:57:23even knowing
00:57:24it.
00:57:25What do you
00:57:25mean?
00:57:26Kill me
00:57:27and you'll
00:57:27hang.
00:57:28I won't
00:57:29kill you.
00:57:29I'll make
00:57:30you wish
00:57:30you were
00:57:31dead.
00:57:32Then Adele
00:57:32defeat me
00:57:33and blames
00:57:33you.
00:57:34You're the
00:57:34perfect
00:57:34scapegoat.
00:57:36What do you
00:57:37think the
00:57:37emperor will
00:57:38do then?
00:57:40I've got
00:57:41nothing left.
00:57:42I'm a
00:57:42dead man
00:57:43walking.
00:57:44Taking you
00:57:44with me?
00:57:45Worth it!
00:57:50Damn it.
00:57:51Ever since
00:57:51she left,
00:57:53even killing
00:57:53prisoners only
00:57:54helps for a
00:57:55moment now.
00:57:57General,

00:57:59route map

00:58:01was supposed
00:58:01to bring
00:58:01it this
00:58:02morning.
00:58:02She didn't
00:58:03come?
00:58:03No,
00:58:04and she
00:58:04didn't send
00:58:05word either.
00:58:08General,
00:58:09please save
00:58:10my lady!
00:58:11What
00:58:12happened to
00:58:12her?
00:58:12She left
00:58:13yesterday
00:58:14with a
00:58:14box,
00:58:15said she
00:58:15was coming
00:58:16to you
00:58:16to tell
00:58:17you
00:58:17everything.
00:58:19She...
00:58:21General,
00:58:22found this
00:58:22on the road
00:58:23to your
00:58:23estate.
00:58:24Inside,
00:58:25an earring.
00:58:26Looks like
00:58:26the one
00:58:26Lady Adele
00:58:27wears.
00:58:28That's it.
00:58:29That's the
00:58:30box my
00:58:30lady was
00:58:31carrying.
00:58:33The road
00:58:34to my
00:58:34estate also
00:58:35leads to
00:58:36Adele's
00:58:37villa.
00:58:39Move.
00:58:39Now.
00:58:45Who goes
00:58:46there?
00:58:46This is Duke's
00:58:47property!
00:58:54Stay
00:58:55outside.
00:59:01Eric!
00:59:02Look!
00:59:03Isn't it
00:59:03beautiful?
00:59:06Where is
00:59:07Melris?
00:59:08I don't know
00:59:09what you're
00:59:09talking about.
00:59:10Eric,
00:59:10I'm your
00:59:11fiance.
00:59:11I'm carrying
00:59:12your child.
00:59:13Why do you
00:59:14always think
00:59:15of her?
00:59:15I won't ask
00:59:16again.
00:59:17Eric,
00:59:17this is a Duke's
00:59:18castle.
00:59:18You want to
00:59:19search it?
00:59:19Then follow
00:59:20the rules.
00:59:21Hand over
00:59:22your sword.
00:59:28That's better.
00:59:30Come, my dear
00:59:30fiance.
00:59:31Let me show you
00:59:32around our new
00:59:33home.
00:59:42Ah, you
00:59:43bitch!
00:59:45Look, this is the
00:59:45nursery.
00:59:46For our
00:59:47child.
00:59:47Do you like
00:59:48blue or pink?
00:59:49He'll be just as
00:59:49handsome as you,
00:59:50I'm sure.

00:59:57wine cellar.

01:00:11Bitch.
01:00:14Let me give you
01:00:15some air before
01:00:15you die.
01:00:25Make a sound
01:00:26and I'll kill
01:00:26you now.
01:00:35See?
01:00:36Nothing.
01:00:37Just rats.

01:00:48There's
01:00:49someone down
01:00:49there.
01:00:50Where are
01:00:51they?
01:00:54Die!
01:00:57Eric,
01:00:58even if you
01:00:59are my
01:01:00fiance,
01:01:00treating me
01:01:01like this,
01:01:02the Emperor
01:01:02himself wouldn't
01:01:03side with you.
01:01:09Help me.
01:01:10Help me.
01:01:19It's wood.
01:01:22me.
01:01:22Eric,
01:01:23Melis is a
01:01:24married woman
01:01:25going crazy
01:01:26over her.
01:01:29The whole
01:01:30Empire will
01:01:31laugh at you
01:01:32for taking
01:01:33Saka's
01:01:34leftovers.
01:01:34over her.
01:01:48Melis.
01:01:51Eric.
01:01:52Eric.
01:01:59Watch out.
01:02:00Scott's still here.
01:02:06Cousin, you really can't stay away from this whore, can you?
01:02:12You pathetic fool, pointing a knife at me
01:02:18Still looking down on me
01:02:21After I defeat you, I'll have my fun with her
01:02:24Then she's dead too
01:02:25Enough talk
01:02:30Catch Eric
01:02:36Shut up, bitch
01:02:43Cousin, you're a fool
01:02:45Throwing your life away for a woman
01:03:01No, don't kill me
01:03:02Cousin, we're family
01:03:04Think of your aunt
01:03:05Get out
01:03:08You're not worth the effort
01:03:12Look out
01:03:22Zola
01:03:24But you are
01:03:26It's fine, it doesn't hurt
01:03:39Thank God
01:03:40You're alive
01:03:41You idiot
01:03:43Why do you always show up when I need you?
01:03:45You kept pushing me away
01:03:47But after I took you from Skir that night
01:03:50I knew it was you
01:03:54How?
01:03:55Because you're different
01:03:58I won the war in the north
01:04:01But my regiment, Crimson Raven, was wiped out
01:04:06Since that day, I've never really left that battlefield
01:04:13Everyone and everything will rot in my eyes
01:04:20And I helped you that night
01:04:31Of course, killing those prisoners helps too
01:04:34Revenge for my men
01:04:35Revenge for my men
01:04:36The vision stopped for a while
01:04:37The rumors
01:04:38They said you kill for fun
01:04:40It's because of this
01:04:42They had my brother's blood on their hands
01:04:44They deserve to die
01:04:45I hid from you because I thought you were a monster
01:04:51Maybe I am
01:04:52But if I hadn't met you that night
01:04:53My world would be nothing but hell
01:05:02You've suffered enough
01:05:10My dear son-in-law
01:05:11The wedding is about to start
01:05:13And here you are hiding in a cellar with another man's wife
01:05:16How unbecoming
01:05:22Duke, is this your wedding party or a coup?
01:05:26What do you think, General?
01:05:29The Emperor himself is officiating
01:05:32Only you could draw him here
01:05:35Your target is the Emperor
01:05:36Two choices
01:05:38Put on the suit
01:05:39Marry my daughter
01:05:41I promise Lady Melris will live
01:05:45Or you both die here
01:05:47Fine, but you swear she won't be harmed?
01:05:50Of course
01:05:52Take the groom to change
01:06:00Get rid of the woman
01:06:02Cleanly
01:06:11Sorry, my lady
01:06:13Nothing personal
01:06:14You're just in the way
01:06:31Forgive me, my lady
01:06:32The General had me wait outside the castle
01:06:34He guessed something like this might happen
01:06:41I won't kill you
01:06:44But at the wedding
01:06:45In front of the Emperor
01:06:46You'll say what you said in the carriage
01:06:49Every word
01:06:50Lady Adele will have our heads
01:06:52She was going to kill you anyway
01:06:54After I'm dead
01:06:55Would she leave two witnesses alive?
01:06:58Fine
01:07:00Fine
01:07:02Time is short, Edward
01:07:03Split up, you take them to the Imperial Guard
01:07:05Wait outside the chapel
01:07:06I'll go ahead
01:07:06My lady, that's too dangerous
01:07:07If the General finds out
01:07:23These ceremonial guards are wearing battle armor
01:07:25The Duke's men
01:07:28Erik
01:07:29Are you unwell?
01:07:34Your Majesty, the General is merely tired
01:07:37Wedding nerves, perhaps
01:07:40Remember, Melis is still in my hands
01:07:43Ruin this wedding
01:07:45She won't see tomorrow
01:07:47General Erik Bosenheit
01:07:50Do you take Lady Adele to be your wedded wife
01:07:52To have and to hold
01:07:54He does not
01:08:09Who is that?
01:08:11How dare they interrupt the wedding
01:08:13In front of His Majesty
01:08:21Sorry, Lady Adele
01:08:22He's already taken
01:08:27Who are you?
01:08:29How dare you?
01:08:31Guards
01:08:31Remove this woman
01:08:35Impressive
01:08:36You've saved me enough times
01:08:39Let me save you for once
01:08:45Adele
01:08:46Erik doesn't belong to you
01:08:48Oh, it's you
01:08:49The whore
01:08:50Come to steal another woman's wedding?
01:08:51Erik, come here
01:08:52I am the one you're looking for
01:08:53I'm carrying your child
01:08:54Lie often enough
01:08:55And you start to believe it yourself
01:08:58Lady Adele was never at that massacre
01:09:00She lied
01:09:01She always tried to cover for her
01:09:03Because my aunt had something on me
01:09:04That's how she killed everyone
01:09:06Even the General
01:09:06Lies!
01:09:07You have an earring
01:09:08So do I
01:09:09That proves nothing
01:09:10And I'm pregnant with the General's child
01:09:12That no one can deny
01:09:16Really?
01:09:19Yes
01:09:20Gentlemen
01:09:22In front of His Majesty
01:09:24And the court
01:09:25Tell us
01:09:25Who really fathered Lady Adele's child?
01:09:30It was me!
01:09:31No, him!
01:09:32Your Majesty
01:09:33Spare us!
01:09:34She called both of us to her chambers
01:09:35We don't know whose it is!
01:09:40Duke Isles!
01:09:42This is the daughter you raised!
01:09:43How much else have you been hiding from me?
01:09:45My daughter just wanted to marry
01:09:46What harm was there?
01:09:47But since you're all so eager to humiliate us
01:09:49Your Majesty
01:09:50Let's continue the celebration
01:09:52Since my daughter's wedding is off
01:09:53How about a coronation instead?
01:09:58Your Majesty
01:10:01You trusted that mad dog from the North
01:10:03Too much
01:10:04The capital's finances
01:10:06The noble marriages
01:10:07The palace defences
01:10:08Who controls all of it?
01:10:10My house
01:10:11Yes!
01:10:12This is treason!
01:10:14History is written by the victor
01:10:15I wanted to use the marriage
01:10:17To control the general
01:10:18Take my time
01:10:19The plans change
01:10:20You think you can protect anyone?
01:10:39Lady Malice already won the Imperial Guard
01:10:41Your own men are on their way!
01:11:03Your fight is with me
01:11:13Arrest them!
01:11:14Every last one of the traitors!
01:11:19I should be the one standing beside him
01:11:23It's all because of you, Malice
01:11:26Die, bitch!
01:11:38Eric!
01:11:41Eric!
01:11:45The pride
01:11:47Should have been
01:11:49Me
01:11:55Eric!
01:11:57Eric!
01:12:00Eric!
01:12:09The General has a strong constitution.
01:12:11He'll live.
01:12:13But he needs months of rest.
01:12:14The wounds are deep.
01:12:18Why did you have to be so stupid?
01:12:21Throwing yourself in front of a knife for me.
01:12:29You even cry beautifully.
01:12:31You're awake! Stop joking at a time like this!
01:12:34I'm here.
01:12:37I'm not afraid to die.
01:12:39The only thing I'm afraid of is you ignoring me.
01:12:42If you ever throw yourself in front of a knife again, and I really will ignore you.
01:12:46Melis, will you marry me?
01:12:58Yes, I'll marry you.
01:13:00You said it. No taking it back.
01:13:04But after I interrupted the wedding, everyone knows I slept with you while I was still married.
01:13:08The Emperor doesn't approve of me.
01:13:10I'm afraid...
01:13:11As long as you're willing, nothing else matters.
01:13:27Oh, I almost forgot to tell you something.
01:13:36A secret.
01:13:40I'm pregnant.
01:13:44I'm pregnant too.
01:13:49I'm pregnant.
01:13:51I'm pregnant.
01:13:52I'm pregnant.
01:14:12What did you just say?
01:14:14For him?
01:14:15For him, I'll be out of bed tomorrow.
01:14:19Don't be silly.
01:14:20The witch doctor said months of rest.
01:14:23Then you stay with me.
01:14:26All right.
01:14:28All right.
