00:04No!
00:05Ryan!
00:06No!
00:13Leave quickly!
00:14Go!
00:16No, no, no!
00:17No!
00:18No, no!
00:25Follow the Dragon King!
00:30No!
00:31No!
00:42No!
00:43No!
00:45No!
00:48Ryan!
01:06No!
01:07No!
01:08No!
01:09No!
01:09Stay with me!
01:11This pays my debt.
01:14We're done.
01:15I loved Ryan for years.
01:18I thought he would at least care, but in the end, all we had left was hate.
01:23He hated me for taking him from Leela, and I hated that he stood beside me, still loving her.
01:37You used the crown to force me into marrying you.
01:39Did you think Leela becoming the Dragon's Brife would make me love you instead?
01:48Ryan!
01:48Come back!
01:50Leela died at Blackie before the year was over.
01:54The marriage broke.
01:56Then the war came.
01:59If there's another life,
02:03give
02:04Leela back to me.
02:09He died for me.
02:11But his last wish was still Leela.
02:16Ryan and I ended here.
02:19If there was another life,
02:21I would never choose him again.
02:31I opened my eyes on the day I begged my father to make Ryan my husband.
02:37Black Keep is slipping out of our control.
02:40A marriage-placked may be the only thing standing between us and war.
02:44And you still come here asking for Ryan?
02:49Get Leela back to me.
02:53No.
02:55I don't want Ryan anymore.
02:57If Black Keep wants Leela,
02:59send me in her place.
03:11I beg your majesty to withdraw the decree.
03:16Do not trade Leela to Black Keep in a marriage pact.
03:20Just like in my last life,
03:22he was still here for Leela.
03:25Rheon!
03:27Get up, please!
03:34Get him inside!
03:36Now!
03:37In my last life, I had him dragged inside.
03:41From that night on,
03:43I forced this marriage on him.
03:47Rheon!
03:48What?
03:49Did you even think this through?
03:51If my father withdraws the decree,
03:53Black Keep will still demand a bride.
03:55If not her,
03:57then me!
04:00I command the Royal Army.
04:02I won't let this kingdom buy peace with a princess.
04:05You command the Royal Army,
04:06not Black Keep.
04:10Leela or me?
04:11One of us is still going.
04:13Stop pushing your father, Seraphina!
04:14This pact can still be stopped!
04:17What a shame.
04:21What are you playing at now?
04:25Nothing.
04:27She should have caused a scene.
04:29She should have dragged me inside.
04:31Why is she letting this go?
04:42My lord.
04:44A message from the Southern Court.
04:46The decree has been altered.
04:48The bride sent to Black Kip will be Princess Seraphina instead.
04:54Black Keep was said to be brutal,
04:55and the dragon and lord even worse.
04:58In my last life,
05:00Leela was sent there as his bride,
05:01and she died before the first year was over.
05:05The king still issued the decree?
05:10Commander, what are you doing?
05:11Let go of her!
05:12Get out!
05:16Why do you keep pushing the king?
05:18Why are you so determined to send Leela to Black Keep?
05:21Rheon, you're hurting me!
05:22A woman this jealous, this cruel, this willing to ruin her own sister.
05:28What makes you think you deserve to be loved?
05:31We looked at you the same way he did in our last life.
05:34Maybe we were doomed from the start.
05:39Commander, mind your place.
05:49Princess, what happened just now was out of line.
05:52You should go.
05:53But what I said still stands.
05:55As long as you keep pushing this,
05:57Leela will still be sent to marry to Black Keep.
05:59Black Keep's bride was already me, not Leela.
06:02Are you sure about this?
06:04For the kingdom, I'll accept the alliance.
06:06As for my marriage decree with Rheon,
06:09give it to Leela.
06:13Leela will get what she wants.
06:15So will you.
06:16You don't need to worry about it anymore.
06:18What do you mean?
06:22Serafina!
06:23Is this decree real?
06:25Your Highness, forgive me.
06:26I tried to stop her, but she forced her way in.
06:28You really went to father for this marriage decree?
06:34A marriage decree?
06:36No wonder you were so calm.
06:38You already got the king to seal it!
06:40Then open it and read it before you accuse me.
06:42Do I even need to read it?
06:46You used your dead mother's name to force His Majesty to bind me to you.
06:50Do you honestly think a piece of parchment can chain me to your bed?
06:54Keep your pathetic decree!
07:01You disgust me.
07:13The bride sent to Black Heap shall be Princess Serafina.
07:18What a shame.
07:20You were ready to die for him.
07:22And he wouldn't even read the decree!
07:28What's wrong, Serafina?
07:30Finally realised that forcing him to marry you still wouldn't make you his wife?
07:33Don't worry, sister.
07:34I won't say a word.
07:38I won't ruin the surprise you left him for sure.
07:51Your Highness, why won't you tell him?
07:54If Commander Rion knew you were walking into death for him...
07:58No turning back.
08:01There's no point.
08:03He's never wanted the truth.
08:08Tomorrow, our noble Princess Leila leaves for Black Keep that living hell.
08:15Tonight, we drink to her sacrifice and her courage.
08:19To Princess Leila!
08:21To her courage!
08:28At least I get to spend my last night in the kingdom with you.
08:36Princess Leila is the pride of this kingdom.
08:39She knows Black Hill may cost her life, yet she still walks towards it for all of us.
08:43Exactly!
08:44Her own sister is being sent to die tomorrow while someone else is busy scheming to force the Commander into
08:48marriage!
08:49Don't say that about Serafina.
08:51After all, not everyone has the courage to face death.
08:58Why did Serafina look more broken than Leila?
09:01She's marrying me.
09:03Shouldn't she be happy?
09:04Let them gossip a little longer.
09:06It is still better than dying with the kingdom, like last life.
09:11Rion!
09:13Have one more drink with me, tomorrow.
09:15I'll be gone.
09:20I'll be gone.
09:25Mother.
09:27This garden was the only place that still felt like you.
09:30This may be my last time here.
09:32Your roses are still blooming.
09:35Tomorrow, I leave for Black Keep with the last pair of gloves you gave me.
09:39At least I can still take one piece of you with me.
09:50You stole the sacrifice that should have been mine. Tonight I just showed them the real you.
09:55Sacrifice?
09:58You would die there and start a war.
10:01I'm cleaning up your mess, so stop calling it a sacrifice.
10:06You...
10:09Rion is coming.
10:14What are you doing?
10:15Don't let go!
10:16Serafina!
10:17No, please don't do this to me!
10:19No, please don't do this to me!
10:25No, no, no, no!
10:29No!
10:30My mom's gone to this garden!
10:33Do you know how much I hate you, Serafina?
10:36Even when Rion is looking at me, I can see you still get to him.
10:40Let go! I'm going to Black Kim in your place!
10:43What else do you want from me?
10:44Because you just can't let him go!
10:46Even on your way to Black Kim, you still want Rion looking at you.
10:48After tonight, he won't.
10:50I didn't.
10:51My mom helped raise Rion.
10:52If he sees what you did to her garden, he'll turn on you.
10:57Then let's find out.
10:59What?
11:04No!
11:05The gloves!
11:12Serafina!
11:13Rion!
11:14She pushed me!
11:15Help!
11:16Rion!
11:17Rion, it burns!
11:18I'm scared!
11:35Rion!
11:41Rion!
11:43I can't!
11:43I can't move!
11:45I think my leg is broken!
11:46It hurts so much!
11:48Rion!
11:48Don't leave me!
11:49Please!
11:49Don't leave me!
11:52Rion!
11:54She tried to kill me!
12:01I'm here, Leela!
12:03I'm right here!
12:05So this is how cruel you can be, Rion.
12:15The princess is still inside!
12:17Help her!
12:18Water!
12:19Now!
12:20Rion!
12:21Rion!
12:22Rion!
12:24Rion!
12:29Rion!
12:32Rion!
12:33Rion!
12:35Rion!
12:37Rion!
12:40Rion!
12:43Rion!
12:44Rion!
12:46Rion!
12:46Rion!
12:46Have you lost your mind?
12:47Leela is your sister!
12:48She's being sent to Blacknit tomorrow and you still try to kill her tonight?
12:51What are you talking about?
12:52She burnt my mother's garden to the ground!
12:54She burnt the laughing my mother left me!
12:56Then I'm glad the late queen isn't here to see this.
12:59She'd be ashamed of what you've become!
13:04Rion!
13:05You will pay for this!
13:13Rion!
13:14Rion!
13:14Don't let her near me!
13:16Stay back, Zeppurina!
13:19Please!
13:20I said I was sorry!
13:21I didn't know your mother's memory was that fragile.
13:24A few flowers.
13:26A little fire.
13:28And it was all gone.
13:30Shut your mouth!
13:38No, no!
13:39Serafina, why didn't you move?
13:41You always moved away before.
13:42Before?
13:44There's no history left between us.
13:47I'm sorry.
13:49I'll marry you, Serafina.
13:51Even after what you did did to Leela, I'll spend the rest of my life making up for this wound.
13:56I swear it on my family's name.
13:59Rion still doesn't know.
14:00Tomorrow, the one going to Black Keep in his precious Leela's place will be me.
14:05I brought you something for tomorrow.
14:08A surprise, the wedding dress, and a new pair of gloves I made myself.
14:23Tomorrow, you'll have my surprise too.
14:27Then tomorrow, we start over.
14:30I'll make sure you never regret this.
14:32Turn me higher.
14:36Through the fire.
14:39We'll make it through the nightmare.
14:44Make it louder.
14:47Break the silence.
14:50My delight shine upon us forever.
14:55You and I.
15:04You and I.
15:08You and I.
15:12Me.
15:14You and I.
15:27I.
15:28You.
15:32Surprise, Rion.
15:35Laila?
15:36Then who did I just watch leave for Blackkeep?
15:38Tomorrow, we'll have my surprise, Stu.
15:42Today was also the day Rion was meant to marry Laila.
15:46Cry now.
15:47He should have seen the surprise I left him.
15:56Rion!
15:57Where are you going?
15:58You chose me!
16:00No! No! No, Serafina!
16:09Faster!
16:10Why are you so determined to send Laila to Blackkeep?
16:12A woman this jealous, this cruel, this willing to ruin her own sister.
16:17What makes you think you deserve to be loved?
16:20Serafina!
16:28Farewell, Rion.
16:29I just remember you behind our way.
16:35Serafina!
16:38Serafina!
16:41Serafina!
16:42Serafina!
16:45Serafina!
16:46Serafina!
16:48Serafina!
16:55Serafina!
17:01Serafina!
17:01Serafina!
17:02Serafina!
17:05Princess Serafina!
17:06We were ordered to escort you inside the Keep!
17:18Serafina!
17:34You took your time.
17:36I wasn't aware the Dragon Lord had been waiting for me personally.
17:43Take her to the East Wing.
17:45No one enters without my word.
17:55Rheon, you came back.
18:04She walked right past me.
18:11Rheon, she chose Black Keep.
18:13I'm here now.
18:15I'm your bride.
18:27Black Keep is no place for her.
18:29Is she even safe there?
18:43Snow Cedar.
18:45Cold Plum.
18:47The same blend for my room in the Capitol.
18:50The incense.
18:51The bed.
18:52Even the fold at the corner.
18:54How does he know my habits in the Capitol?
18:56Leela died here in less than a year, and I still don't know why.
19:01Better to be careful.
19:11Do you like the room?
19:12It knows me too well.
19:20It knows me too well.
19:23Because the East Wing is yours.
19:25A generous gift.
19:28No one enters this wing without my word.
19:34That sounds less like protection and more like possession.
19:37Call it whatever helps you sleep.
19:40If I don't sleep...
20:02You'll rest easier with it.
20:07Rest while you can, Princess.
20:14Your tonic.
20:17Set it down properly, please.
20:19The Dragon Lord said the East Wing is yours now.
20:21If you need anything, ask the servants.
20:23As long as your Highness remembers why you were sent.
20:30Say the rest.
20:33Everyone knows.
20:34A Southern Bride is still just a bargaining chip.
20:36Pick up the tray.
20:38Yes.
20:45A bride sent to a monster should know better than to act like a queen.
20:51If this was the Dragon Lord's way of keeping me in line, then so be it.
20:55I came here for my kingdom.
20:57I could bear this much.
21:05She forgot the rules of this keep.
21:10Did you sleep?
21:13Good.
21:23So this was not his doing.
21:25He had not sent her to provoke me.
21:27Is she this distant because she fears me?
21:29Or because she hates this marriage?
21:41He did not send anyone to toy with me.
21:43But Layla died here in less than a year, and I still don't know why.
21:47Better to be careful.
21:53Your Highness, you're awake already?
21:56I have questions.
22:00Of course.
22:01Anything.
22:03When does the Dragon Lord expect me to attend him?
22:05Morning?
22:06Evening?
22:06Or only when summoned?
22:09Attend him?
22:10Meals.
22:11Wine.
22:12Dressing.
22:12The hearth.
22:13His chamber.
22:15I need to know what is required.
22:17No, Your Highness.
22:19No one would ask that of you here.
22:21Then what does a bride of black keep do?
22:23There must be rules.
22:24Tell me all of them, my lady.
22:27Black keep is not the Southern Court.
22:29You are not expected to earn your meals.
22:32Layla came here once.
22:33She did not survive.
22:35So either she broke a rule, or no one told her what the rules were.
22:42Did you sleep?
22:43Tell me what you want from me, my lord.
22:47If there are duties I failed to perform last night, I can correct them.
22:50I can learn quickly.
22:51Duties?
22:52As your bride.
22:54Look at me.
22:56Who told you I brought you here to serve me?
22:59No one.
23:00Then why ask?
23:01Because I would rather know the rules before I break them.
23:04I came here to keep the treaty.
23:06I won't give black keep to reason to send me back dead.
23:10Is that what you think this place is?
23:12Tell me the safest way to please you, my lord.
23:15She really is afraid of me.
23:17Do not say that again.
23:19Yes, my lord.
23:26Your highness?
23:27Did I anger him?
23:29No.
23:30No, your highness.
23:31His lordship was not angry with you.
23:34Pair the dark gown.
23:36The one with the silver clasp.
23:40I will go to his chamber tonight.
23:42No!
23:43Your highness, no!
23:44You do not have to do that!
23:46I am his bride.
23:48I am his bride.
23:57Your highness.
23:58I am here to see Lord Valon.
24:01At this hour?
24:02Yes.
24:05They know why a bride comes to her husband's tower at night.
24:18You shouldn't be here, Serafina.
24:24My lord.
24:25You were not satisfied this morning.
24:28I am here to make...
24:29Do you have any idea how you look right now?
24:35I thought you would never look at me this way.
24:46Look at me.
24:46Serafina, look at me!
24:49You're not offering yourself.
24:51You're offering a sacrifice.
24:52I...
24:53I will be quiet.
24:54I will not resist.
24:55Whatever you want, my lord.
24:57Shut up!
24:57Am I a beast to you?
24:59A monster you must pay in flesh to survive?
25:01No, please.
25:04Get out before I forget I am supposed to be a gentleman.
25:13Everything between us is a transaction to her.
25:16Even her touch has a price.
25:20I will not.
25:29My name is Serafina.
25:34If you can hear me, stay alive.
25:37I'll come back with help.
25:42I won't let Black Keep become another place you survive by fear.
25:51Your Highness, did he hurt you?
25:57No.
25:58Then what happened?
26:00I angered him.
26:02No.
26:03If he sent you back untouched, then he was protecting you.
26:07He told me to get out.
26:09He looked at me as if I had insulted him.
26:12Because you were frightened.
26:14That is exactly the insult.
26:16I let him find out.
26:17Do not tell anyone.
26:19No one will hear it from me.
26:28You should rest.
26:34Prepare another gown.
26:36High collar.
26:37No silver clasp.
26:38For breakfast.
26:42For whatever I have to face.
26:45The two guards at the North Passage saw the Princess enter.
26:48One runner went to report.
26:50Three servants near the lower stair may have noticed her return.
26:54Names.
26:56Move the two guards to outer wall duty for a month.
26:59Not as punishment.
27:00As a reminder that silence keeps people alive here.
27:05And the servants?
27:06No one speaks of her walking to my chamber.
27:08No one speaks of her return.
27:10Yes, my lord.
27:13Send women to East Wing.
27:14Quiet ones.
27:17Remove every gown prepared for a bridal visit.
27:20My lord.
27:22If the gowns disappear this morning, she may misunderstand.
27:25She already wore one like armor.
27:28Yes, my lord.
27:29And send breakfast to East Wing.
27:31Will you not take breakfast in the hall?
27:34If I sit at the table, she will force herself to come.
27:38Today, she gets one morning without an audience.
28:01By Lord Valon's order, we are to clear several garments from the East Wing.
28:06Clear garments.
28:10Clear garments.
28:11The dark silk gown with silver clasps.
28:14The black velvet nightdress.
28:15The low-necked blue one.
28:18Anything marked for bridal chamber attendance.
28:21Last night, I wore the dark silk gown with the silver clasps.
28:24This morning, Valon ordered every gown like it removed.
28:28I see.
28:29No, your highness.
28:40Take it.
28:47Your highness, this does not mean what you think it means.
28:50He did not like what I wore.
28:52He did not like why you wore it.
28:55Either way, the answer is the same.
29:01Did Lord Valon say anything else?
29:03His lordship said breakfast will be sent here.
29:05You need not attend the hall.
29:07So he does not wish to see me this morning.
29:09No.
29:10He wants you to rest.
29:11Then I will rest.
29:30The gowns were removed.
29:31Breakfast was delivered.
29:33She has not eaten.
29:34Nothing.
29:35She touched the honey bread, then put it back.
29:40Nothing.
29:41She touched the honey bread, then put it back.
29:46My lord, perhaps it is time to tell her
29:49that this is not the first time you have known her.
29:51That years ago, she saved you.
29:53That you kept the glove because...
29:54No.
29:59Right now, she fears me.
30:01Some part of her may even hate me.
30:03She does not know you.
30:06Exactly.
30:08If I tell her now, it will not comfort her.
30:10It will only give her another debt to carry.
30:12Then at least do not let her keep misunderstanding this.
30:15She thinks the gowns were removed because you were displeased.
30:18She may think you sent breakfast because you do not wish to see her.
30:21If she believes you rejected her,
30:23she will only find another way to make herself smaller.
30:26Write her a letter.
30:47Rest today.
30:48I will not call for you.
30:52My lord,
30:53that may sound
30:54cruel,
30:56distant.
31:00Not because I am displeased.
31:02Send it with Nora.
31:04No guard.
31:06Yes, my lord.
31:24A note from Lord Valon.
31:30Rest today.
31:32I will not call for you.
31:33Not because I am displeased.
31:36You see?
31:37He is not angry.
31:41Commander Gideon requests permission to speak with the princess.
31:45Let him in.
31:50Your highness.
31:51Did Lord Valon send you?
31:53No.
31:54Nora sent word that the removal of the gowns insettled you.
31:56I came to make sure nothing else in the east way does the same.
31:59The room unsettles me.
32:00Every chair,
32:01every drawer,
32:02every window lash.
32:03It is arranged like my room in the southern palace.
32:08Is this how Black Helt watches its brides?
32:12No.
32:13Then how did he know?
32:14I cannot answer that for him.
32:17Convenient.
32:18This room was not arranged to control you.
32:20It was arranged with care.
32:22Did he know me before this marriage?
32:24When he is ready,
32:26he will tell you.
32:27Your highness.
32:33Gideon?
32:34Your highness.
32:35Forgive the interruption.
32:37Come in.
32:41A signal from the south road.
32:43The southern party has crossed the outer ridge.
32:45They carry the royal sile.
32:47Commander Ryan is leading them.
32:49Commander Ryan?
32:50You?
32:50You
