Short filmTranscript
00:00:26Today, Avalon ends this.
00:00:29That dragon dies!
00:00:56Master, are you hurt?
00:01:00Where is Aldrich?
00:01:10Need a hand, Master?
00:01:14Are you going to let it kill me?
00:01:16Not a chance.
00:01:21Let's go!
00:01:49Master, aren't you going to praise me?
00:01:52There's your praise.
00:01:54Now pack your things.
00:01:56Leave the Isle.
00:01:58Go to the mainland.
00:01:59Why?
00:02:00Because I was late?
00:02:01And a bit too pleased with my magical gift?
00:02:05Because you're ready.
00:02:07Over ten years ago, I brought you back to the Isle of Avalon.
00:02:11Your grandfather's death has been haunting you ever since.
00:02:14Now that you've become the best mage the world has ever seen,
00:02:17you should go to find the truth.
00:02:22Master.
00:02:25Also, this is the marriage your grandfather arranged for you.
00:02:28When you go back, do not forget to fulfill the betrothal.
00:02:33What?
00:02:34I have a fiancee.
00:02:39Master.
00:02:40Lady Ellera'Eldwyn.
00:02:42Master.
00:02:48Summoner Forsyth in theγΈγ§llafahans
00:02:52Lady Ellera'Eldwyn.
00:02:55Master.
00:03:02You're Aldrich.
00:03:04That's me.
00:03:05I've been waiting for you.
00:03:08Follow me.
00:03:17Someone's cursed this place.
00:03:26After I break this engagement, I'll warn them.
00:03:29Consider it my compensation.
00:03:39My lady, the boy is here.
00:03:42No manners.
00:03:45You want one?
00:03:50I came to see Duke Eldwyn.
00:03:51Where is he?
00:03:53His lordship isn't available to just anyone.
00:03:56Whatever you have to say, you can say it to me.
00:03:58Fine. Works for me.
00:04:05So.
00:04:07You've come about the betrothal.
00:04:09Yep.
00:04:10House Eldwyn has stood for over a hundred years.
00:04:14In wealth and status, we are the greatest family in this town.
00:04:19Like the chair you're sitting on.
00:04:21It took two million gold to build.
00:04:24Reserved only for the head of House Aldwyn alone.
00:04:27Do you understand what I'm telling you?
00:04:29Your house is wealthy.
00:04:32Your house is wealthy.
00:04:32For generations, our marriages have been between equals.
00:04:36Different stations, different births.
00:04:38It only ends badly.
00:04:40To make it clear, House Aldwyn cannot marry its daughter to a penniless beggar.
00:04:46I'm here to break the engagement.
00:04:48But I didn't expect House Aldwyn to look down on people like this.
00:04:52Fine.
00:04:53Saves me the trouble of explaining.
00:04:56Here is two million in gold.
00:04:59Wow.
00:05:00Take the money.
00:05:01Leave my daughter.
00:05:02Go as far away as you can.
00:05:08Two million.
00:05:09Your house truly is wealthy.
00:05:11What?
00:05:12You want more?
00:05:12I'll write you a note for three million.
00:05:15Ten million.
00:05:17Boy, don't be ungrateful.
00:05:19Greed will be your ruin.
00:05:21You might not live to spend it.
00:05:22I don't want any of this money.
00:05:29And the marriage?
00:05:30I'm the one calling it off.
00:05:34Duke Aldwyn won't let this go.
00:05:36Maybe I'll have to talk to him later in person.
00:05:38My lady.
00:05:39Should I find someone to deal with you?
00:05:43No deaths.
00:05:45Just teach him a lesson.
00:05:47Make sure he leaves the town.
00:05:50Yes, my lady.
00:05:59I'll go back to Greed.
00:06:02No?
00:06:10No, no, no.
00:06:15No, no.
00:06:15No.
00:06:15No.
00:06:18No.
00:06:21No.
00:06:22No.
00:06:29Grandfather, about the marriage, I meant to go to House Aldwin and cancel it.
00:06:34But the Aldwins were so arrogant, I taught them a small lesson.
00:06:41But no matter how this ends, I'll repay Duke Aldwin's kindness. I know you two were close.
00:06:46Stuart Marcus says make it clean. Kill the boy.
00:06:50Ten thousand gold each.
00:07:04Don't blame us, kid. You crossed the wrong people.
00:07:09Who?
00:07:21What the...
00:07:31Talk. Who sent you?
00:07:35No one. No one.
00:07:37You want to go back in the water?
00:07:42It was Stuart Marcus who sent us.
00:07:45So afraid of me marrying into the family.
00:07:47Get out of here.
00:07:51Young man, mercy is a virtue. You did the right thing letting them go.
00:07:56Good, sir. Thank you for saving me.
00:07:59You could see my spell. Young man, you're more than meets the eye.
00:08:03And children who honor their elders are rare these days.
00:08:10Good, sir. You have a shadow curse on you.
00:08:14If you don't treat it soon, it will destroy you from within.
00:08:19You know healing magic?
00:08:22You know healing magic?
00:08:24A little.
00:08:25Can you cure me?
00:08:26Sure.
00:08:27Please sit. I'm going to use Avalon needles to cleanse your curse.
00:08:50The shadow assassin has come for me.
00:08:52I can't protect you. Go!
00:08:54Good, sir. Focus on your healing.
00:08:56Leave this one to me.
00:08:59This is between me and Silas.
00:09:01Walk away. I'll let you live.
00:09:04Shut up.
00:09:05I've been wanting to see what the infamous shadow magic has become.
00:09:08You're asking for death.
00:09:19My rims. They're broken.
00:09:21Who are you?
00:09:22A mage from Avalon.
00:09:24You've killed a shadow assassin with one strike.
00:09:28Avalon magic lives up to its reputation.
00:09:30Good, sir.
00:09:31You're cured.
00:09:35I've been wounded for nearly ten years.
00:09:37I've seen every healer in the realm.
00:09:40All of them failed.
00:09:41Then you show up.
00:09:43One treatment.
00:09:44And the pain is gone.
00:09:46This is the legendary Avalon needle art.
00:09:50Yes.
00:09:51I learned this from my master Theron.
00:09:54Your master invented these root stones.
00:09:56Let's anyone in the kingdom talk to each other, no matter how far apart.
00:10:00Take it.
00:10:01I've made a link between your rune stone and mine.
00:10:04Next time you're in trouble, just say my name into the stone.
00:10:08I'll appear.
00:10:09I've always wanted one.
00:10:11Master Theron never allowed.
00:10:13Thanks, sir.
00:10:15I'll see you around.
00:10:20You drove Aldrich away, both of you.
00:10:25Father, what are you talking about?
00:10:28What's wrong?
00:10:30Ask your wife.
00:10:31Ask her what she's done.
00:10:33What happened?
00:10:35How could our daughter marry some penniless island boy?
00:10:39Father, Isolette isn't wrong.
00:10:41How could a penniless boy match our house's standing?
00:10:44You fool!
00:10:47Penniless has any family not known poverty?
00:10:53Has House Aldrich never known poverty?
00:10:57You drove Aldrich away.
00:11:00You'll regret this.
00:11:03Find him.
00:11:05Find him now.
00:11:06If you don't bring Aldrich back, you can forget about being heir.
00:11:18Aldrich!
00:11:19Do I know you?
00:11:20It's Tessa.
00:11:20You disappeared for 12 years and that's all you have to say.
00:11:23Do I know you?
00:11:2412 years and you still hug just as hard.
00:11:27You deserved it.
00:11:27Where have you been?
00:11:28We thought you were dead.
00:11:29Remote island.
00:11:30Studying with my master.
00:11:31Studying what?
00:11:32How to be a hermit?
00:11:33Something like that.
00:11:34Oh, and Duncan, he's the steward at a tavern now.
00:11:38He's going to lose his mind when he sees you.
00:11:40But first, you need new clothes and a haircut.
00:11:46As steward, zero tolerance.
00:11:48Zero mistakes.
00:11:49Get it fixed.
00:11:51Now.
00:11:54Duncan!
00:11:59No way.
00:12:03You son of a...
00:12:09You grew.
00:12:11You actually grew.
00:12:12And you got presentable.
00:12:15What happened to the scrawny kid who cried when he scraped his knee?
00:12:18He grew up.
00:12:23Barely.
00:12:23Where the hell have you been?
00:12:26Remote island.
00:12:27Studying with my master.
00:12:29Studying what?
00:12:31Duncan.
00:12:32Aldrich just came out of the Isles.
00:12:33We need to take care of him in town.
00:12:36Don't worry, Aldrich.
00:12:38As long as I have food on my plate,
00:12:40you'll have some too.
00:12:43We'll be brothers for life.
00:12:45When I make it,
00:12:46I'll never let you go hungry.
00:12:51Thanks, Duncan.
00:12:52Duncan.
00:12:53Don't mention it.
00:13:01Tessa!
00:13:02Lily!
00:13:03What are you doing here?
00:13:04I came here to drink with my friend from the Academy.
00:13:07All elites.
00:13:08Upper class of the town.
00:13:10Oh, what a coincidence.
00:13:12I forgot you just got into the town Academy.
00:13:14I should introduce you to them.
00:13:15This is Lady Alara Aldwyn of House Aldwyn.
00:13:28Lady Alara is so beautiful.
00:13:31Our Alara is the most beautiful girl in town.
00:13:34Everyone knows that.
00:13:36Don't call me Lady Alara.
00:13:37I'm one year ahead.
00:13:39Call me Sis.
00:13:39Or just Alara.
00:13:41And if anyone gives you trouble at the Academy, you tell me.
00:13:45Thank you, Sis.
00:13:48And this is Sir Godfrey.
00:13:50Hair to the Merchant Guild.
00:13:52And this is Sir Percival.
00:13:54Hello.
00:13:56And this...
00:13:57I've got no titles.
00:13:59Professional island dweller.
00:14:01So,
00:14:02you're just a commoner.
00:14:04Since Tessa is Lily's friend,
00:14:07why don't we all drink together?
00:14:09Duncan,
00:14:10we'll have your finest room.
00:14:12Hmm.
00:14:13Fine with me.
00:14:15Alara.
00:14:16Fine.
00:14:16Come, Tessa.
00:14:17I'll tell you about the Academy.
00:14:20Go.
00:14:21Have fun.
00:14:23I'll be here with Duncan.
00:14:25I'm fine.
00:14:26You're coming too.
00:14:28Him.
00:14:29Nobles don't share air with commoners.
00:14:31Especially not one from whatever flea-bent island
00:14:33he calls home.
00:14:37Tessa is from my Academy.
00:14:39Sir Godfrey's letting you come as a favor.
00:14:43Then count me out.
00:14:44If my friend isn't good enough for your table,
00:14:46neither am I.
00:14:47Enough.
00:14:48Either we all go,
00:14:49or nobody goes.
00:14:51We're here to have fun,
00:14:52not to measure status.
00:14:54My unknown betrothed
00:14:55has a spine.
00:14:57Good to know.
00:14:59Fine, fine.
00:15:00More people, more fun.
00:15:09A toast.
00:15:15New friends.
00:15:17Let's take out runestones
00:15:19and make links with each other.
00:15:22Hey, commoner,
00:15:23you first.
00:15:27I don't know how to make a link.
00:15:32You
00:15:33don't know how to use a runestone?
00:15:35Never needed one.
00:15:38He just got to town.
00:15:39Leave him alone.
00:15:40It's fine.
00:15:41First time for everything.
00:15:43Take out your stone.
00:15:44I'll teach you.
00:15:46Bold of you to assume he has one.
00:15:52What is that?
00:15:53A pebble?
00:15:55So small and plain.
00:15:56Did they make this specially for peasants?
00:15:58I like it.
00:15:59It was a gift.
00:16:00Here's the deal.
00:16:02You play the drums for us.
00:16:04Sing one of those Yahoo tunes
00:16:06from your little island.
00:16:07I'll buy you the best rude stone gold can buy.
00:16:10Deal?
00:16:10Play, play!
00:16:12Stop it!
00:16:18Don't think you can take Taina
00:16:19just because she's nice to you.
00:16:21Hillbilly.
00:16:22You playing or not?
00:16:24Give me back my stone.
00:16:26This junk.
00:16:27I could buy ten of these
00:16:29and not feel it.
00:16:36You couldn't afford to replace it.
00:16:38Friend, watch your mouth.
00:16:42You're not my friend.
00:16:43You ungrateful brat!
00:16:45Sir Godfrey treats you with respect.
00:16:47And you will see blood today.
00:16:52You dare curse me.
00:16:56Lively in here.
00:17:05Pretty girl.
00:17:07What do you want?
00:17:09Can't you see this is a human's party?
00:17:11Come with me.
00:17:12You'll serve my lord.
00:17:13Big bags of gold for you.
00:17:15Who the hell are you?
00:17:18You're asking who I am.
00:17:20You heard me.
00:17:21I'm the heir of House Percival.
00:17:23Now get lost while you still can.
00:17:26Look at Sir Percival.
00:17:27Now that's a real man.
00:17:30Standing up to rude, violent orcs.
00:17:33Not like some people.
00:17:35Cowards.
00:17:37Are you going to get lost or not?
00:17:46I hate it when people point fingers at me.
00:17:56You ask who I am.
00:17:57Who am I telling me to get lost?
00:17:59Blood.
00:18:00Blood.
00:18:01That peasant was right about the blood.
00:18:03Still asking who I am.
00:18:07I won't ask.
00:18:08I won't ask.
00:18:09I won't ask.
00:18:10Sir Godfrey.
00:18:11Help me.
00:18:13Friend, you've barged into my room and hurt my people.
00:18:16That's not right.
00:18:16And who the hell are you?
00:18:18I am Sir Godfrey.
00:18:20My father is Lord Godfrey, head of the Merchant Guild.
00:18:23He's friends with some of the best mages in the kingdom.
00:18:26Even from Avalon.
00:18:27You don't want to start a war between two races.
00:18:30I believe.
00:18:31So, why don't you show some respect and let us have fun?
00:18:35The Merchant Guild.
00:18:37Lord Godfrey.
00:18:38Best mages in the kingdom.
00:18:41Avalon.
00:18:43Yes.
00:18:44Barely.
00:18:45I'll give you that much.
00:18:49But I'm not finished.
00:18:51Your friend, I can let him go.
00:18:56But this girl, she comes with me.
00:18:59My lord doesn't take no for answer.
00:19:06No.
00:19:07She's not going either.
00:19:11Are you sure?
00:19:13I don't know where you're from.
00:19:15But in this room tonight, you're not taking anyone.
00:19:18Which young lord is so important that...
00:19:27I can't even take someone away.
00:19:33Baron Rathburn.
00:19:34I...
00:19:35I didn't...
00:19:36These the ones?
00:19:37They're the ones who stopped me.
00:19:40So you're the Merchant Guild's young lord.
00:19:43Baron Rathburn.
00:19:45If I'd known it was you...
00:19:46If you'd known it was me, what?
00:19:48You would have kissed my boots.
00:19:51Who is he?
00:19:53Baron Rathburn.
00:19:55He runs the underground world.
00:19:57Those orcs are his mercenaries.
00:19:59He hires them for the dirty work.
00:20:01So what?
00:20:02Sir Godfrey has the whole Merchant Guild.
00:20:06Shut up.
00:20:08Smart boy.
00:20:10The girl, she comes with me.
00:20:14Not a word, boy.
00:20:16Not one.
00:20:18No.
00:20:20You're not taking her.
00:20:22Then I'll take you instead.
00:20:24Baron Rathburn, she's...
00:20:25You speak again.
00:20:27I cut out your tongue.
00:20:33Take both women.
00:20:36Don't come closer.
00:20:38Stay back.
00:20:43Today, none of you are taking anyone.
00:20:50Who said that?
00:20:55Here's your chance.
00:20:57Everyone in your crew kneels.
00:20:59Apologizes to Tessa.
00:21:12You have no idea who you're talking to.
00:21:16No.
00:21:17But I know that if you don't kneel and apologize...
00:21:21That leg is mine.
00:21:23You're insane.
00:21:24Sir Godfrey couldn't handle this.
00:21:25And you think you can?
00:21:27You're going to get us all killed.
00:21:28He's right.
00:21:29Don't drag us down with you.
00:21:30Baron Rathburn.
00:21:32We don't know him.
00:21:34He's nothing to us.
00:21:35Aldric, this isn't your fight.
00:21:37I've got it.
00:21:38Please take care of Tessa for me, Lady Elia.
00:21:40You still don't know who you're talking to.
00:21:45I don't know.
00:21:46And I don't care.
00:21:48But that leg...
00:21:49It's mine.
00:21:50You're dead, little man!
00:22:04You're moved.
00:22:11No wonder you're so cocky.
00:22:14You're a fighter.
00:22:16Aldric, careful.
00:22:18Rathmuth is not a quitter.
00:22:20Here's your chance.
00:22:21Get on your knees.
00:22:22Say you're sorry.
00:22:24Maybe...
00:22:24Maybe I'll let you walk out.
00:22:26That's what I should be saying to you.
00:22:27You heard him.
00:22:28Get him!
00:22:34Stop!
00:22:40I want to know who's causing trouble in my tavern.
00:22:47Who's that?
00:22:48Lady Raven.
00:22:49She runs this place.
00:22:50Baron Rathbarn.
00:22:52What brings you here?
00:22:54Raven.
00:22:55Long time.
00:22:56Saw a girl I liked.
00:22:58In your place.
00:22:59Can't sleep without her.
00:23:01What do you want me to do, huh?
00:23:02That girl doesn't work for me.
00:23:04Don't make this difficult.
00:23:07What do you want me to do?
00:23:07Then you take her place tonight.
00:23:09How about that?
00:23:11And if I say no?
00:23:13Then give me your tavern.
00:23:14The shares.
00:23:16Let me run it.
00:23:17You want my little business?
00:23:18Fine.
00:23:19No problem.
00:23:21Really?
00:23:22But I'm not the only owner.
00:23:24Let me talk to Count Valerius.
00:23:27If he agrees, it's yours.
00:23:29Count Valerius.
00:23:31But I'm not the only owner.
00:23:33Let me talk to Count Valerius.
00:23:35If he agrees, it's yours.
00:23:37Count Valerius.
00:23:38Go ahead, lady.
00:23:40In this town, no one.
00:23:42Shut up!
00:23:47Raven.
00:23:48No need to bother the old man over something this small, right?
00:23:52Forget it.
00:23:53Matter's settled.
00:23:54Oh, thank the gods.
00:23:55She helped us.
00:23:57Then go.
00:23:58Slowly.
00:23:59I won't see you out.
00:24:02Let's go.
00:24:05I didn't say you could leave.
00:24:14What did you say?
00:24:15I said, I didn't say you could leave.
00:24:18Here's your chance.
00:24:19Everyone in your crew gets on their knees, apologizes to Tessa, or you lose a leg.
00:24:25Your choice.
00:24:27Raven.
00:24:27You see, I tried to play nice.
00:24:29This isn't on me.
00:24:31This young friend just came to town.
00:24:33Doesn't know how things work.
00:24:35An islander.
00:24:36Aldrich.
00:24:37Let it go.
00:24:38For me.
00:24:38Do me this one favor.
00:24:40Why should I do you any favors?
00:24:43What are you doing?
00:24:43They have more orcs outside.
00:24:45Even Lady Raven couldn't stop them all.
00:24:46She got us out.
00:24:47Take Tessa and go.
00:24:49Duncan.
00:24:50You told me once.
00:24:51No matter what, you'd never let anyone hurt Tessa.
00:24:54What happened to that?
00:24:55It's not that simple.
00:24:56This is his territory.
00:24:57He knows every corner, every exit.
00:24:59We're in his backyard now.
00:25:00Sometimes you have to know when to walk away.
00:25:02I don't walk away.
00:25:03I don't walk away.
00:25:03And they're nothing.
00:25:05Now you understand.
00:25:07I could crush you like an ant.
00:25:10Apologize.
00:25:10Crawl through my legs, maybe.
00:25:12Maybe I'll forgive you.
00:25:14I thought he was different.
00:25:21This is my apology.
00:25:27You hit me.
00:25:32You?
00:25:43My head!
00:25:45What are you waiting for?
00:25:47Kill him!
00:25:51Anyone touches him, they go through me.
00:25:54Duncan!
00:25:55He's my brother.
00:25:56I'm not leaving him.
00:26:01Come on, then.
00:26:03Still the same, Duncan.
00:26:06Take Tessa.
00:26:07Go.
00:26:08I'll hold them.
00:26:09No need.
00:26:10I'm not done.
00:26:13I gave you a chance.
00:26:15You didn't take it.
00:26:19You gambling den bosses.
00:26:21Why can't you ever use your heads?
00:26:26Get him!
00:26:27Now!
00:26:33Where'd you go?
00:26:40Well, don't you.
00:26:40What?
00:27:05Do you have all this money?
00:27:07Couldn't you afford better, Laggius?
00:27:09Call everyone, all my men, now!
00:27:18Call them, all of them! I want him dead!
00:27:25Stop them. Don't let them call for reinforcements.
00:27:31You're insane. Do you know how many men he has outside?
00:27:36No. But my master taught me something.
00:27:39When you fight, you fight to win.
00:27:41You don't leave pieces behind to come after you later.
00:27:43Get the civilians out. Now.
00:27:50Please take care of Tessa, Lady Alara.
00:27:55I'm not leaving you, Aldric.
00:27:57You're leaving with me. That's how you help him.
00:28:12Who are those things?
00:28:16Rathfall's reinforcements. The whole damned crew.
00:28:19That kid's finished. No one walks out of that.
00:28:23Don't say that!
00:28:24Aldric won't lose.
00:28:26He's a fraud! How can you still believe in him?
00:28:29Because he's never let me down.
00:28:31Not once.
00:28:34I believe him, too.
00:28:36I believe him, too.
00:28:36We wait. Together.
00:28:40You hear me?
00:28:42My men are coming.
00:28:44You're dead!
00:28:52Shut up.
00:28:57You want him?
00:28:59You go through me.
00:29:01Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:29:05Kill him!
00:29:06Kill him!
00:29:33Tell Count Valerius.
00:29:35There's a Master Mage here.
00:29:37Yes, Lady Raven.
00:29:38Is that all of them?
00:29:42I was hoping for a challenge.
00:29:45That was incredible!
00:29:47You have to teach me!
00:29:49It's just magic.
00:29:51Teach me, please!
00:30:02Master Corvus, destroy him!
00:30:07Who's the old man?
00:30:10You don't know who I am?
00:30:15He's the Storm Fist.
00:30:17The legendary...
00:30:19Keep a low profile.
00:30:21Storm Fist.
00:30:23More like Storm Hair.
00:30:25That's a lot of hair.
00:30:28Young man.
00:30:29You don't know what you're getting into.
00:30:36Don't blame me if I hit too hard.
00:30:42Oh, here we go.
00:30:46Storm!
00:30:50I wasn't ready.
00:30:52That's a sneak attack.
00:30:53No honor.
00:30:54Sorry.
00:30:55I didn't know you weren't ready.
00:30:57Try again.
00:31:14Yeah!
00:31:16Yeah!
00:31:17Yeah!
00:31:17Yeah!
00:31:29That's...
00:31:29That's impossible.
00:31:31He broke through my mage armor.
00:31:41Stop, please.
00:31:42I surrender.
00:31:43I give up.
00:31:51You win.
00:31:54You win.
00:31:55Your turn.
00:32:05Count Valerius is here.
00:32:08Count Valerius is here.
00:32:21Count Valerius.
00:32:22He's the real owner of this place.
00:32:24Who's that next to him?
00:32:26Master Sylvanius.
00:32:27Master of the open hand.
00:32:29Strongest fighter in the town.
00:32:31He's never lost.
00:32:32Will Aldric be okay?
00:32:33Him?
00:32:34He couldn't even handle Rathbid's orcs.
00:32:37Now Valerius is here.
00:32:38Aldric's not walking out of there.
00:32:42Brought this on himself.
00:32:44Godris.
00:32:45Go in there.
00:32:46Talk to him.
00:32:47Beg if you have to.
00:32:47Me, Alara, my own father,
00:32:49couldn't get Valerius to budge.
00:32:51Unless...
00:32:52Your grandfather came.
00:32:53He won't come.
00:32:55Then I'll go myself.
00:32:56He's a nobody.
00:32:56You'd risk making an enemy of Count Valerius for him?
00:32:58He's more of a man than you'll ever be.
00:33:00I'm coming too.
00:33:04Aldric.
00:33:05Let's see if you can get out of this one.
00:33:11You two.
00:33:13You trash my place.
00:33:15And you think you can just walk out.
00:33:18Count Valerius.
00:33:19It's complicated.
00:33:20Nothing complicated.
00:33:22So Rathshed's mercenaries did this.
00:33:26Rathshed disrespects me.
00:33:28He wouldn't dare.
00:33:32Is it him?
00:33:33Yes.
00:33:34The Stormfist.
00:33:35Twenty, maybe thirty years of training.
00:33:37All of it.
00:33:38Wasted.
00:33:39Who did this?
00:33:41Him.
00:33:43So young.
00:33:45And he defeated the Stormfist.
00:33:48Impressive.
00:33:49Who trained you?
00:33:51None of your business.
00:33:55Don't think a little training makes you invincible.
00:33:57Arrogance is a slow poison.
00:34:00It kills before the blade ever touches skin.
00:34:03Are you done?
00:34:04There's nothing else we're leaving.
00:34:06You think you can leave?
00:34:07What do you want?
00:34:08Count Valerius.
00:34:09He saved us.
00:34:10Can't we let this go?
00:34:11I know.
00:34:12But they trashed my place.
00:34:14Everyone knows the crown stag is mine.
00:34:16If I let them walk out, what does that say about me?
00:34:19What's your point?
00:34:20You and your friend.
00:34:21Work for me.
00:34:23Join my organization.
00:34:24Don't go.
00:34:25Thank the Count.
00:34:26He's offering you a place.
00:34:27I'll work for you.
00:34:28You saved me.
00:34:29But Aldric is my brother.
00:34:31I can't speak for him.
00:34:32The Count is powerful.
00:34:33If you just...
00:34:34No.
00:34:35I am myself.
00:34:36I don't belong to anyone.
00:34:39Is that so?
00:34:40Yes.
00:34:41Then you're not leaving.
00:34:46Last chance, boy.
00:34:47I don't need chances.
00:34:51I'm going to be a master of the open hand.
00:34:55I don't want to hurt a child.
00:34:59I don't want to hurt a child.
00:34:59Last chance, join Count Valerius.
00:35:02Now.
00:35:02I'll give you a way out.
00:35:04I already said no.
00:35:05Fine.
00:35:06Then watch.
00:35:08Bring them.
00:35:14What are those for?
00:35:16Master Sylvanus will show you what real martial arts look like.
00:35:22Tiger plounce.
00:35:24Tiger pounce.
00:35:27Crushing fist.
00:35:30Crushing fist.
00:35:35You think this is a joke?
00:35:37It's a circus act.
00:35:38You should charge admission.
00:35:41You'll regret that.
00:35:48What?
00:35:49What?
00:35:50What is this?
00:35:50What have you done?
00:35:53Your hands are gone.
00:35:55Open hand.
00:36:00My turn.
00:36:07My name is Aldrich.
00:36:15Count Valerius, I've failed you.
00:36:18We'll meet again.
00:36:20Let's go.
00:36:24Aldrich is it?
00:36:26You've got skill.
00:36:27Even Sylvanus couldn't touch you.
00:36:30The young generation, terrifying.
00:36:32Count Valerius.
00:36:34Let this go.
00:36:35Please.
00:36:37So, you still won't join me?
00:36:40No.
00:36:40Fine.
00:36:41You've got spine.
00:36:44But spine is useless when your friend's way's brains are on the floor.
00:36:52Your magic might save yourself, but can it save him from point-blank range?
00:36:57One twitch of my man's finger in your friend's story ends.
00:37:00So let's try again.
00:37:02Join me, or watch him die.
00:37:04Stop!
00:37:08Don't worry.
00:37:09I'm here.
00:37:12Count Valerius.
00:37:15You're Duke Aldwyn's granddaughter.
00:37:17Yes.
00:37:18What do you want?
00:37:19I want you to release my friends.
00:37:22Both of them?
00:37:23Both.
00:37:24Ha!
00:37:24Lady Allara comes to ask for mercy.
00:37:27How could I refuse?
00:37:29In this city, no one refuses Duke Aldwyn.
00:37:32Thank you, Count Valerius.
00:37:33But, I gave your house what it wanted.
00:37:37Now you give me what I want.
00:37:39What do you mean?
00:37:40Your family's new trade route.
00:37:42I want you.
00:37:44I don't handle family business.
00:37:46I can't-
00:37:46Then you can't speak for your house, can you?
00:37:48So why should I do you any favors?
00:37:52Count Valerius.
00:37:53Count Valerius.
00:37:54Count Valerius.
00:37:55Release my friends.
00:37:56I'll remember this.
00:37:58I'll find a way to repay you.
00:37:59And how?
00:38:01I-
00:38:03Sorry.
00:38:04I need to take this.
00:38:14Wow, I suppose that's what they call Link.
00:38:17Hello.
00:38:19Aldric.
00:38:19It's Silas.
00:38:21Silas, what's going on?
00:38:22I learned yesterday that the Valerius family wanted to build a new castle right on top of your grandfather's grave.
00:38:31They were going to relocate him.
00:38:33And?
00:38:34Then I immediately spoke to the head of the Valerius family.
00:38:37The cemetery stays untouched.
00:38:39That's-
00:38:40That's great, thank you.
00:38:41You saved my life, kid.
00:38:43This is nothing.
00:38:44And how do you feel now? The Needles should have done their work.
00:38:47Getting better by the day.
00:38:49I'm happy for you.
00:38:50Aldric.
00:38:51Oh, one more thing.
00:38:56Aldric.
00:38:56Oh, one more thing.
00:38:59Do you know someone named Count Valerius?
00:39:03I know him, why?
00:39:04He's got a crossbow pointed at my best friend's head right now.
00:39:07I'm trying to decide if I should let him live.
00:39:09For your sake.
00:39:16Aldric.
00:39:17What are you saying?
00:39:19I'm thinking about letting him live.
00:39:22Letting him live?
00:39:23He's the one with a cross show to Duncan's temple.
00:39:25Aldric.
00:39:26Please.
00:39:27Just give him what he wants.
00:39:28Duncan can't even breathe right now.
00:39:30Aldric.
00:39:31You don't have to pretend.
00:39:33I'll talk to Lady Raven.
00:39:34Maybe she can-
00:39:35What?
00:39:36Beg me to spare the poor old man?
00:39:38Aldric.
00:39:39You've lost your mind.
00:39:41You've lost your mind.
00:39:41He's Valerius crazy.
00:39:42You're someone I bow to.
00:39:44And he dares point a weapon at you.
00:39:46Let me talk to him.
00:39:47Let me see who you're talking to.
00:39:49Who could possibly decide my-
00:39:52Give me the stone.
00:39:54Be my guest.
00:40:13Master Simus sends his regards.
00:40:19Of course, Lord Simus.
00:40:21It will never happen again.
00:40:22I swear it.
00:40:27I'm understanding.
00:40:29That's all.
00:40:29A simple misunderstanding between gentlemen.
00:40:34Put the crossbow down.
00:40:35Now!
00:40:40Lady Allara.
00:40:41Please forgive this old fool.
00:40:43Your friends are safe.
00:40:44I give you my word.
00:40:47Thank you for coming.
00:40:49It's fine now.
00:40:51Let's go.
00:40:54Please.
00:40:55Take your time.
00:40:56My deepest apologies.
00:40:58To all of you.
00:41:02Who was that on the-
00:41:07Who was that on the crystal?
00:41:11Master Silas.
00:41:12Master Silas.
00:41:14Which Master Silas?
00:41:15Silas Ravenweald.
00:41:16The former royal archmage.
00:41:18Practically the king's godfather before he retired.
00:41:21In this kingdom, no one refuses Silas Ravenweald.
00:41:25No one.
00:41:26That young man.
00:41:27He's not just some mage from an island.
00:41:31You should get closer to him.
00:41:33Much closer.
00:41:34I'll keep that in mind.
00:41:41Elara.
00:41:42You're incredible.
00:41:43Only you could have walked out of there.
00:41:46Hmm.
00:41:47She's an Aldwyn.
00:41:48In this town.
00:41:49Who says no to that name?
00:41:51Tessa.
00:41:52Are you alright?
00:41:53That was terrifying.
00:41:54Thank you, Lady Allara.
00:41:55If you hadn't-
00:41:57Two grown men.
00:41:59Relying on a woman.
00:42:00Pathetic.
00:42:02That's enough.
00:42:03You know who the real coward is.
00:42:05Standing outside the whole time, weren't you?
00:42:07Didn't lifted a finger.
00:42:09Elara, it's late.
00:42:10Let me take you home.
00:42:11The streets aren't safe.
00:42:12No.
00:42:13I'm going home with Tessa, Duncan and Aldraff.
00:42:16I can't let you leave with commoners.
00:42:19What would your father say?
00:42:21You don't answer to my father.
00:42:24Let's go.
00:42:28Elara!
00:42:30Godfrey.
00:42:33Don't contact me again.
00:42:37Aldraff.
00:42:40You'll pay for this.
00:42:48Master.
00:42:49The plan failed.
00:42:51There's this Aldric.
00:42:52He appeared beside Elara.
00:42:54I couldn't get to her.
00:42:55Useless.
00:42:57What do we do?
00:42:58This man.
00:43:00He seems to know things.
00:43:01What if he discovers-
00:43:02Don't worry.
00:43:06Our magic is invisible.
00:43:09No one in this town can see my magic and break it.
00:43:12The soul-binding curse.
00:43:14Seven days.
00:43:15Then Duke Aldwyn dies.
00:43:18House Aldwyn will be ours.
00:43:20As for Elara, she made her choice.
00:43:23She dies too.
00:43:26Master, please.
00:43:28She's just-
00:43:37Elara, I'll say goodbye here.
00:43:39Thank you for coming back for us.
00:43:41Of course.
00:43:42That's what friends do.
00:43:44That's what friends do.
00:43:44Aldric.
00:43:45Will you walk her home?
00:43:47The streets aren't safe.
00:43:49Me?
00:43:50Please.
00:43:51I don't trust anyone else with her.
00:43:53Fine.
00:43:53Fine.
00:44:03I'm glad you're back, man.
00:44:12Let's go.
00:44:16Why did you give Tessa to me tonight?
00:44:18Because I don't trust anyone else.
00:44:21You trust me?
00:44:23Yes.
00:44:30Who was that on the rootstone?
00:44:32The one who made Valerius?
00:44:33Dropped his knees?
00:44:35A friend.
00:44:36Just a friend?
00:44:39You already knew who I was, didn't you?
00:44:41You asked me to take Tessa because you knew she'd be safe with an Aldrin.
00:44:47You're very smart.
00:44:49So Valerius wasn't doing me a favor.
00:44:53He was doing your friend a favor.
00:44:55Which means you're not just some islander who wandered into town.
00:45:00So...
00:45:01Who are you, Altrek?
00:45:05I'm your fiancΓ©.
00:45:07What?
00:45:11You're lying.
00:45:16I'm not.
00:45:17Hey.
00:45:18Tell me the truth.
00:45:19Something I don't know.
00:45:21Something about you.
00:45:22Alright.
00:45:23I'm...
00:45:23an islander.
00:45:25I already knew that.
00:45:27But that's a good start.
00:45:29Okay.
00:45:29Which island?
00:45:31Avalon.
00:45:32Avalon?
00:45:33Isn't that where mages produce runestones?
00:45:35The ones every noble carries?
00:45:37And where many mages train.
00:45:39In the middle of the island there's a mountain.
00:45:42At the top of it is where most of the kingdom's arcane energy rests.
00:45:45Arcane energy?
00:45:47Yeah.
00:45:48The source of magic.
00:45:49The reason I can do what I do.
00:45:51Oh.
00:45:52I see.
00:45:53So that's where you learned your magic.
00:45:55That's where you can beat up all those orcs like they're nothing.
00:45:59Oh.
00:45:59This is me.
00:46:03Give me your runestone.
00:46:04What?
00:46:06Come on.
00:46:07Give it to me.
00:46:18There.
00:46:19We have a link now.
00:46:23You can talk to me anytime you like.
00:46:25Oh.
00:46:26So that's how it works.
00:46:28You could have told me earlier.
00:46:30I could have showed off to your upper-class friends.
00:46:34They mean nothing.
00:46:36All those titles, all that posturing.
00:46:38It's just noise.
00:46:51What?
00:46:52What are you smiling at?
00:46:54You thought I was going to kiss you, didn't you?
00:46:57I did not.
00:46:58Why are you standing so close?
00:46:59You don't like it?
00:47:00Fine.
00:47:01I'll leave.
00:47:03Wait.
00:47:05What now?
00:47:13Bye.
00:47:22Father.
00:47:23Mother.
00:47:24Is something wrong?
00:47:26Alara.
00:47:27You said you weren't coming home this weekend.
00:47:29The plans changed.
00:47:31You're an old wind.
00:47:32When you leave this house, you carry this house with you.
00:47:35Do you think we enjoy sending guards to shadow you everywhere?
00:47:38There are people who would hurt this family, you know that.
00:47:42Where were you tonight?
00:47:43I was with friends.
00:47:44What friends?
00:47:46Godfrey.
00:47:47Sir Godfrey.
00:47:48The merchant's son?
00:47:50That's not so bad.
00:47:51Godfrey.
00:47:51He wants to marry up.
00:47:53His house isn't worthy of ours.
00:47:55He's still wealthy.
00:47:56I'd rather her marry Godfrey than that island boy.
00:47:58Island boy?
00:48:00Aldric?
00:48:01Sis.
00:48:02You didn't know?
00:48:03Grandfather arranged a betrothal for you.
00:48:06When you were little.
00:48:07What?
00:48:13What?
00:48:13What are you smiling at?
00:48:15You thought I was going to kiss you, didn't you?
00:48:18I did not.
00:48:19Why are you standing so close?
00:48:20You don't like it?
00:48:22Fine.
00:48:22I'll leave.
00:48:24Wait.
00:48:26What now?
00:48:34Bye.
00:48:43Father.
00:48:44Mother.
00:48:45Is something wrong?
00:48:47Alara.
00:48:48You said you weren't coming home this weekend.
00:48:50The plans changed.
00:48:52You're an old woman.
00:48:53When you leave this house, you carry this house with you.
00:48:56Do you think we enjoy sending guards to shadow you everywhere?
00:48:59There are people who would hurt this family, you know that.
00:49:03Where were you tonight?
00:49:04I was with friends.
00:49:06What friends?
00:49:07Godfrey.
00:49:08Sir Godfrey.
00:49:09The merchant's son?
00:49:11That's not so bad.
00:49:12Godfrey.
00:49:13He wants to marry up.
00:49:14His house isn't worthy of ours.
00:49:16He's still wealthy.
00:49:17I'd rather her marry Godfrey than that island boy.
00:49:19Island boy?
00:49:21Aldric?
00:49:22Sis.
00:49:23You didn't know?
00:49:25Grandfather arranged a betrothal for you.
00:49:27When you were little.
00:49:28What?
00:49:31You don't believe me?
00:49:32Ask mother.
00:49:34Your fiancΓ© came by this morning, but mommy sent him away.
00:49:36You sent him away?
00:49:38Yes.
00:49:39Your grandfather was furious.
00:49:41Said the boy was someone who could help our house.
00:49:43Demanded we find him.
00:49:45Said if we didn't, your father would lose his place as heir.
00:49:48And I would be sent back to my family.
00:49:50What?
00:49:51I thought your grandfather was joking.
00:49:53Until that little mage showed up at our door.
00:49:56Mage?
00:49:57Aldric is a mage?
00:50:00No.
00:50:00No.
00:50:01It can't be Aldric.
00:50:03If he were my fiancΓ©, he would have told me.
00:50:05Did you look into his background?
00:50:07Of course I did.
00:50:09The boy has no parents.
00:50:10Raised by his grandfather.
00:50:12They lived on scraps.
00:50:13Then the old man died, and the boy disappeared.
00:50:17I thought he was dead.
00:50:18So he's just a beggar?
00:50:19I thought he might be from some secret order of mages.
00:50:22Where has he been all these years?
00:50:24I don't know.
00:50:25From the way he looked yesterday.
00:50:27Ragged clothes, rough manners.
00:50:29He hasn't done well.
00:50:30He's just trying to marry into our house to save himself.
00:50:33I won't marry him.
00:50:35I'll pick my own husband.
00:50:36Quiet.
00:50:38This isn't your choice.
00:50:40If we find him, there will be a betrothal ceremony.
00:50:43Immediately.
00:50:43This is unbelievable.
00:50:45Why don't you care more about grandfather's illness?
00:50:47Instead of the status of my fiancΓ© and your chances to inherit estates.
00:50:51Enough.
00:50:52Go to your room.
00:50:53Go to your room.
00:51:21And ugly.
00:51:22And cruel.
00:51:24And ugly.
00:51:24Not possible.
00:51:25Your betrothed is handsome.
00:51:27Charming.
00:51:28Brilliant.
00:51:29Practically a gift from the gods.
00:51:31What luck you have.
00:51:33You're impossible.
00:51:35Hey, actually.
00:51:37I'm calling to ask a favor.
00:51:39Go ahead.
00:51:40I'm your fiancΓ©.
00:51:42I'll always be there to help.
00:51:43Please stop joking, Uldrick.
00:51:45My grandfather is sick.
00:51:48The healers can't help him.
00:51:50You said you know powerful people.
00:51:52Can you find someone to save him?
00:51:54No need for powerful people.
00:51:56I'll come treat your grandpa tomorrow.
00:51:58You?
00:51:59I know some healing magic.
00:52:01I might be able to help.
00:52:05Find the boy.
00:52:06This is important.
00:52:08Yes, my lord.
00:52:13Where are you going?
00:52:15Town business.
00:52:18Contracts to review.
00:52:24Well, is it done?
00:52:26Don't worry.
00:52:27He won't be seen in this town again.
00:52:29That's not enough.
00:52:31My lady.
00:52:33Tomorrow, send more men.
00:52:36Make a show of it.
00:52:38Let the old man think I'm trying.
00:52:41So he won't send me away.
00:52:46Yes, my lady.
00:52:52Lord Caelian, we've done everything we can.
00:52:56There must be something.
00:52:58I'm sorry.
00:53:01Prepare for the end.
00:53:10There's no other way.
00:53:12Name your price.
00:53:14Anything.
00:53:15It's not about money.
00:53:17We simply cannot cure this illness.
00:53:38This isn't an illness.
00:53:41This isn't an illness.
00:53:42It's a curse.
00:53:49Who are you?
00:53:50No.
00:53:54Father, this is my friend.
00:53:55He's a mage.
00:53:56A mage?
00:53:58What do you know about my father's condition?
00:54:00More than your physicians.
00:54:03Someone has cast dark magic on this house.
00:54:05Your father's life is being fed to a curse.
00:54:10Dark magic.
00:54:12You expect us to believe that?
00:54:14He's not lying.
00:54:15He saved my life.
00:54:17He probably arranged the whole thing.
00:54:19Made himself look like a hero.
00:54:21Think about it.
00:54:22Your trade deals have been failing.
00:54:24Your family has been falling ill.
00:54:26Everything has been getting worse.
00:54:33How do you know that?
00:54:34Please, father.
00:54:36Let him try.
00:54:37With respect, my lord.
00:54:38This boy is talking about curses and dark magic.
00:54:41If such things could heal people,
00:54:42there would be no need for physicians.
00:54:44I'm not using magic to heal him.
00:54:46I'm using medicine.
00:54:47Where did you study?
00:54:49Which academy?
00:54:51I didn't.
00:54:53You never studied medicine.
00:54:54You have no training.
00:54:55Throw this fraud out.
00:54:58Uncle.
00:54:59He's fooling you.
00:55:01Can't you see that?
00:55:02I'll take responsibility.
00:55:04You...
00:55:05You're altering.
00:55:08This is the betrothed.
00:55:12He changed his clothes.
00:55:15Cut his hair.
00:55:17I didn't recognize him.
00:55:19You're my betrothed.
00:55:22Both.
00:55:24Don't believe anything he says.
00:55:26He's after our money.
00:55:28An island boy trying to impress you.
00:55:30There's been a misunderstanding.
00:55:32I trust him.
00:55:34You're naive.
00:55:36Don't insult him.
00:55:38You took the money.
00:55:39Two million gold.
00:55:41And you still came back.
00:55:44I never took your money.
00:55:45You're lying.
00:55:46Marcus gave it to you.
00:55:47I never saw your money.
00:55:51But I did see your assassins.
00:55:55I...
00:55:56I only told Marcus to scare you.
00:55:59Not... not to...
00:56:17What is she talking about?
00:56:19Assassins.
00:56:20Marcus must have acted on his own.
00:56:22I never...
00:56:24I'll pay you two million.
00:56:25Consider the matter closed.
00:56:28You want to forget it.
00:56:29I don't.
00:56:30What do you want?
00:56:31Aldrich, please.
00:56:33Just look at my grandfather.
00:56:35There's been a misunderstanding.
00:56:38I think some people in this house
00:56:39don't want him to get better.
00:56:45Guards!
00:56:47Remove this man!
00:56:48Try it.
00:56:54Father.
00:56:56Father.
00:56:58Grandfather.
00:57:00You're Thomas' boy.
00:57:02Yes.
00:57:04You said you could save me.
00:57:06I can.
00:57:09He's a fraud.
00:57:10Quiet!
00:57:10Quiet!
00:57:13I trust him.
00:57:15Let him try.
00:57:21It's like...
00:57:22A final burst of life before the end.
00:57:26What are you smiling at?
00:57:28You're a fool.
00:57:31What are you talking about?
00:57:34Assassins.
00:57:35Marcus must have acted on his own.
00:57:37I never...
00:57:38I'll pay you two million.
00:57:40Consider the matter closed.
00:57:42You want to forget it.
00:57:44I don't.
00:57:45What do you want?
00:57:46Aldrich, please.
00:57:48Just look at my grandfather.
00:57:50There's been a misunderstanding.
00:57:52I think some people in this house
00:57:54don't want him to get better.
00:58:00Guards!
00:58:02Remove this man!
00:58:03Try it.
00:58:09Father.
00:58:10Father.
00:58:13Father.
00:58:14Grandfather.
00:58:16You're Thomas' boy.
00:58:17Yes.
00:58:19You said you could save me.
00:58:21I...
00:58:39Can.
00:58:42He's a fraud.
00:58:43Quiet!
00:58:46I trust him.
00:58:48Let him try.
00:58:54It's like...
00:58:56A final burst of life before the end.
00:58:59What are you smiling at?
00:59:02You're a fool.
00:59:05You think you can do better?
00:59:07Yes.
00:59:07With what?
00:59:09Needles.
00:59:11Needles.
00:59:11That's all.
00:59:12The finest healers in the kingdom couldn't save him.
00:59:15What makes you think you can?
00:59:16They couldn't.
00:59:17That doesn't mean I can't.
00:59:18Let him try.
00:59:19My father's condition can't wait.
00:59:21If he makes things worse, we won't be responsible.
00:59:24Fine.
00:59:24If I fail, I'll take the blow.
00:59:27And if I succeed...
00:59:30You won't.
00:59:31Young man.
00:59:32If you cure Duke Aldrinch, I'll become your student.
00:59:36So will I.
00:59:37And if you cure him, I'll sweep the path before you.
00:59:40And welcome you into this house.
00:59:43Here.
00:59:49His life is draining.
00:59:50This is...
00:59:51The soul-binding curse.
00:59:53What's that?
00:59:54An old spell.
00:59:55It traps the victim's soul.
00:59:57Feeds on their life force.
00:59:59Within seven days, the victim's spirit is destroyed.
01:00:03Who would want to kill grandfather?
01:00:06You expect us to believe this.
01:00:09Believe what you want.
01:00:11Do you think this?
01:00:12Yes.
01:00:13You can't just...
01:00:14You don't want him to wake up.
01:00:17Of course I do.
01:00:20Then let me work.
01:00:52You're insane.
01:00:56Nothing happened.
01:00:58He's a fraud.
01:00:58I told you.
01:01:00You were so confident.
01:01:01And now...
01:01:03Arrest him!
01:01:04Wait!
01:01:08He's awake!
01:01:09Duke Alderwind is awake!
01:01:16I walked through death's door and came back.
01:01:21A miracle.
01:01:23You saved me.
01:01:26Rest now, grandfather.
01:01:29Rest.
01:01:30As you say.
01:01:35Master Alderick.
01:01:37Your technique.
01:01:38Where did you learn it?
01:01:39I taught myself.
01:01:41Remarkable.
01:01:43Come work for me.
01:01:44I'll make you a specialist.
01:01:46Top pay.
01:01:47I have no license.
01:01:50I'll handle it.
01:01:54Master Alderick.
01:01:56Teach me.
01:01:57Please.
01:01:58He's an honored professor.
01:01:59I don't care about titles.
01:02:01Your skill speaks for itself.
01:02:06Fine.
01:02:08I'll take you.
01:02:10But you!
01:02:13You can send yourself a banner.
01:02:15Write on it.
01:02:17I am a fool.
01:02:21Is my father cured?
01:02:22I broke the curse.
01:02:24But the caster will notice.
01:02:25And when he does, he'll try something more desperate.
01:02:29Can't we find out who's behind all this?
01:02:31The cursed caster?
01:02:33There is a way.
01:02:34But first, I need to know something.
01:02:38Who in this house knows your birth chart?
01:02:41Only family.
01:02:42Caelan.
01:02:43Alara.
01:02:44And Marius.
01:02:47Lord Marius.
01:02:48Understood.
01:02:49I'll find the curse caster.
01:02:51Very soon.
01:02:52Duke Aldwyn.
01:02:54May I speak with you privately?
01:02:57Leave us.
01:03:03You have questions for me?
01:03:05My grandfather.
01:03:07How did he die?
01:03:11He went to the capital.
01:03:13Before he left, he came to me.
01:03:15Told me to protect you if he didn't return.
01:03:21Your family's murder.
01:03:23Your grandfather's death.
01:03:25It's all connected.
01:03:27Years ago, House Aldwyn was nearly destroyed.
01:03:31I fled to the capital alone.
01:03:33I was dying.
01:03:35Your grandfather, Thomas Cael, saved me.
01:03:38House Cael was the wealthiest in the capital.
01:03:41With his protection, my enemies couldn't touch me.
01:03:45So, I rebuilt my house.
01:03:47What happened to House Cael?
01:03:49Twenty years ago, you vanished.
01:03:53Overnight.
01:03:54I don't know how.
01:03:55I don't know why.
01:03:57Later, your grandfathers came to this town with you.
01:04:01He left and was never seen again.
01:04:04I felt indebted to your grandfather.
01:04:07So, I arranged the betrothal.
01:04:09And I made a will.
01:04:11When you marry Alara, half of House Aldway's wealth will be yours.
01:04:22How did grandfather die?
01:04:23He must have found something.
01:04:26Someone killed him for it.
01:04:28Who destroyed my family?
01:04:29I don't know.
01:04:31But they weren't mortal.
01:04:33House Cael was too powerful to fall to ordinary men.
01:04:37You come from that world.
01:04:39The world of magic.
01:04:41You know I'm telling the truth.
01:04:45What do you suggest?
01:04:47I think they offended a Shadow Archmist.
01:04:49And I was cursed.
01:04:51Because they discovered my connection to your grandfather.
01:04:55Marry Alara.
01:04:57Quickly.
01:04:57Before I die.
01:04:59I can't.
01:05:00Not yet.
01:05:02Why?
01:05:03I have to avenge my family first.
01:05:05We can talk about marriage later.
01:05:08Now that I know House Alden and House Cael share the same enemy.
01:05:12That's enough for now.
01:05:13Do you suspect someone?
01:05:15I'll handle it.
01:05:23Duke Aldwind.
01:05:25The potion is ready.
01:05:26You have my thanks.
01:05:31I was wrong about you.
01:05:33When you're well, my lord, I'll arrange the wedding.
01:05:36I should go.
01:05:39I'll visit every day.
01:05:48Shadow Archmaster.
01:05:49The curse on my father has been broken by some young mage called Aldric.
01:05:53No worries.
01:05:54I'll cast another one.
01:05:56A stronger one.
01:05:57I could see Marrya's heart race whenever I mention the traitor.
01:06:00And through this runestone link, I can see where the Shadow Archmist is.
01:06:05Murderer of my family.
01:06:08I finally found you.
01:06:21You came.
01:06:24You knew I would.
01:06:26I hoped you would.
01:06:28You have power, Aldric of House Cael.
01:06:32More than your father.
01:06:33More than your grandfather.
01:06:36You knew them.
01:06:38You knew them.
01:06:38I killed them.
01:06:40House Cael was wealthy.
01:06:42Powerful.
01:06:43But they had something I needed.
01:06:45A runestone.
01:06:47To speak with dead masters.
01:06:48To enhance my power.
01:06:51They wouldn't give it to me.
01:06:52So I took everything else.
01:06:54You murdered my family.
01:06:56I removed an obstacle.
01:06:58That runestone is in your pocket.
01:07:00Give it to me.
01:07:01Join me.
01:07:02Your power and mine.
01:07:04We could rule everything.
01:07:05I'd rather die than share my friend's gift with you.
01:07:08That can be arranged.
01:07:24Impressive.
01:07:26But not enough.
01:07:37You're strong.
01:07:39But you're young.
01:07:41You haven't learned to control your power.
01:07:44Last chance.
01:07:45Join me.
01:07:47No.
01:07:49My turn.
01:07:57No.
01:08:13This isn't over.
01:08:15I'll return.
01:08:22For my family.
01:08:32Marius.
01:08:34You cursed me.
01:08:36You conspired with the Shadow Archmaest.
01:08:39You tried to destroy this house.
01:08:42Do you have anything to say for yourself?
01:08:47I did it for you.
01:08:49For your approval.
01:08:51For you to finally see me.
01:08:53But you never saw me.
01:08:54Only Caelian.
01:08:55The heir.
01:08:57The good son.
01:08:58I was nothing to you.
01:09:01I'm sorry, father.
01:09:03I'm so sorry.
01:09:07Under the laws of this house, the punishment for treason is death.
01:09:11But you are my son.
01:09:12And I cannot kill my son.
01:09:15What do you suggest?
01:09:16Exile.
01:09:17He leaves the kingdom.
01:09:19Never returns.
01:09:21If he does, he dies.
01:09:23Do you accept?
01:09:27Yes.
01:09:28Then it's done.
01:09:32Take him to the border.
01:09:34Make sure he crosses.
01:09:35And make sure he never comes back.
01:09:38The Shadow Archmaest is still out there.
01:09:41He'll come for you.
01:09:42He's already dead.
01:09:49I've lost a son today.
01:09:52You've gained a chance.
01:09:53No.
01:09:55Let's talk about your reward.
01:10:04You've saved my life.
01:10:06You've saved my house.
01:10:08You avenged your family.
01:10:11Name what you want.
01:10:12Anything.
01:10:12Anything.
01:10:15I want to earn her.
01:10:20Earn her.
01:10:21I don't want her handed to me like a prize.
01:10:23I want to prove that I'm worthy of her.
01:10:30You already have.
01:10:32Do you accept him?
01:10:36I do.
01:10:38I do.
01:11:17Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today.
01:11:25Do you, Aldrich of House Kale,
01:11:27take this woman to be your wife?
01:11:30I do.
01:11:32Do you, Elara of House Aldwyn,
01:11:35take this man to be your husband?
01:11:36I do.
01:11:37Then by the power vested in me,
01:11:40I pronounce you husband and wife.
01:11:52About time!
01:11:54To the happy couple!
01:11:58Are you happy?
01:12:01I'm content.
01:12:03Which is more than I ever expected.
01:12:09That's not an answer.
01:12:11It's the only one I have.
01:12:21It's enough.
01:12:22Now we feel the same.
01:12:25And I'm like a cat running around.
01:12:28Holding your mind.
