00:01At three, I had no voice. House Malvern cast me as a magicless wretch along with my sick mother.
00:15Yet today, you call me back.
00:18Young master, we've arrived.
00:20A mute heir to a magic house. No wonder he was thrown away.
00:30As a thousand-year house of magic, we have no place for a magicless wretch who can't cast a single
00:37spell.
00:39Get out!
00:41Last year, illness took mother from me.
00:44You and my cowardly father just stood by.
00:48Now you use bloodline to falsely reel me in.
00:52You think I'm still that dumb kid?
00:54Queen Victoria's banquet is in two days.
00:56The Malverns need full attendance to escape punishment.
01:00That's why I'm really here.
01:03After a seven-year absence.
01:05Could you show me the way to the main hall?
01:07I'm lost.
01:08What are you waving for, little mute cult?
01:10I don't get mute signs.
01:20Insolent fool.
01:22I've killed countless before.
01:25I'm sorry, young master, that the main hall is straight ahead.
01:28I see a mute wretch, but my soul is the dark sorcerer dreaded by all demons, Mar-Logos.
01:35I see a augment of wolves who just watched the punishment of a incisive god, but yes.
02:30The Abyssal Curse has found me.
02:33There is no escape.
02:44To regain my past prime.
02:48I started the Silence Curse at 3.
02:51It left me mute, unable to cast ordinary spells.
02:55Aldrich, say, Grandpa.
02:58Congenital muteness.
03:03I plan to break Mother's dying wish and stay away, but since I'm here, I'll make you
03:10all kneel and repent at my mother's grave.
03:24Silent Freak.
03:25What gives you the nerve to keep us waiting?
03:27Come here and apologize.
03:32How have you been all these years?
03:35Grandpa, why bother?
03:36He is mute.
03:37Are we keeping a maid here just to read his hands?
03:42The Queen's Banquet nears.
03:44If our coldness shames this house, none of us will escape the consequences.
03:51I...
03:52Father, please, don't mad.
03:55Child, I know the family failed you, and your mother.
04:02But Grandpa will set things right now.
04:14You are a Malvin, and you shall never wander again.
04:19Grandpa, have you lost your senses?
04:21He's a wretch who can't even chant.
04:23Keeping him will shame us all.
04:25Enough!
04:26My decision is final.
04:28Aldrich, thank your grandpa.
04:30Quickly!
04:39You threw me away like refuse.
04:41Now you call this mercy?
04:44What does he mean?
04:46He says you threw him away like refuse.
04:50Aldrich, how could you say that?
04:52Refute.
04:52At least the wretch knows his place.
04:55I offered you a second chance for the sake of our bloodline.
04:58I saved you from wandering like a stray.
05:02House Malvern was never worthy of me.
05:04I returned to make you kneel at Mother's grave.
05:08What is all that?
05:11What is it?
05:13The young master said he's not settled in yet.
05:16That's all.
05:17Please, Master Aldrich.
05:18I'm just trying to keep my job.
05:21Not so fast.
05:22There's something you must do first.
05:34The Queen's invitation is inside.
05:37It opens only with every family member's mark.
05:41So that's why you brought me back.
05:43Don't waste your breath, Grandpa.
05:45A mute cannot chant.
05:47No chant, no spell.
05:50He is useless.
05:53If he can't chant, I'll teach him signal casting.
05:56No chant needed.
05:57I will demonstrate only once.
06:01Watch carefully.
06:04Did you see that?
06:08Aldrich, perhaps I can explain the magical flow itself.
06:11Good Lord.
06:12Even infants grasp signal casting faster than him.
06:20Good boy.
06:29That little bastard does not deserve the Queen's banquet.
06:34Once he leaves his seal, kill him.
06:47It worked!
06:51No!
06:55No!
07:03You damn fool!
07:05No!
07:06It wasn't me!
07:10Grandpa!
07:11It was him!
07:12He did it on purpose!
07:13He sicked that snake on me!
07:15He never forgave us for casting him out!
07:17He's back to destroy House Malville!
07:20Filthy little bastard!
07:22This family showed you mercy, and this is how you repay us?
07:25How dare you!
07:26We should have left you starving in the hutter!
07:29You freak!
07:30You just destroyed the Queen's invitation!
07:33You've ruined House Malville's future!
07:36Perhaps you require discipline.
07:38Discipline.
07:45You...
07:56You...
07:58Kalen!
07:59He is your cousin!
08:01Uncle Thire, so you're the one protecting this freak after all.
08:05So, does he even protect his son?
08:08He's a disgrace to House Malvern.
08:11He deserves no mercy.
08:12Leon, look at your son.
08:14If you protect that boy, you're standing against all of us.
08:23I thought you'd be different.
08:26I'm sorry. That's not what I meant.
08:28Just apologize and this is over.
08:33Aldrich.
08:35Confess your crimes at once or I will show you no mercy.
08:39Grandpa, look at him. He still refuses to repent.
08:42You little brat. Apologize now or I'll turn you over to the Queen.
08:49You damn fool.
08:52No, it wasn't me.
08:57Grandpa, it was him. He did it on purpose.
09:00He sicked that snake on me.
09:02He never forgave us for casting him out.
09:03He's back to destroy House Malvern.
09:06Filthy little bastard.
09:08This family showed you mercy and this is how you repay us?
09:12How dare you?
09:13We should have left you starving in the hudder.
09:15You freak.
09:17You just destroyed the Queen's invitation.
09:19You've ruined House Malvern's future.
09:21Perhaps you require discipline.
09:32Attack.
09:42You...
09:44Youよ...
09:44You...
09:45Caelan.
09:46He is your cousin.
09:47UL.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.U.M.U
09:50.U.U.U.U.U.....
09:53Does he even protect his son?
09:55He's a disgrace to House Malvern. He deserves no mercy.
09:59Theon, look at your son.
10:01If you protect that boy, you're standing against all of us!
10:10I thought you'd be different.
10:13I'm sorry, that's not what I meant.
10:15Just apologize and this is over.
10:21Aldrich, confess your crimes at once or I will show you no mercy!
10:25Grandpa, look at him. He still refuses to repent.
10:29You little brat! Apologize now or I'll turn you over to the Queen!
10:41They really know ancient forbidden magic.
10:47The Thornheart curse?
10:49Not even an archmast would dare act under that curse.
10:52One struggle and the body tears itself apart.
10:57Father, Aldrich is only ten!
11:00That kind of attitude deserves punishment.
11:03He stays here to reflect on his actions.
11:10Once the silence curse is complete, every one of you shall beg for death.
11:17Huh? What's this?
11:21Oh wow, so this is what your mother left you.
11:26Look at that!
11:27The mute's so desperate he's nearly speaking!
11:33Alright.
11:35Here you go.
11:43Dying for a useless little freak like you?
11:47Your mother was truly pathetic.
11:48Hahahaha!
11:53Dying for a while!
11:56Hahahaha!
11:59Hahahaha!
12:01Hahahaha!
12:02Hahahaha!
12:03Hahahaha!
12:03Once your body will be torn apart
12:34To die!
12:45He... He broke through the Thornheart curse
12:49Aldric, was this your true power all along?
12:59High Mage Emery?
13:03The silence curse remains incomplete
13:06Forcing this much power out is still too taxing
13:13So that power came from a High Mage after all?
13:18Exactly! He's still nothing but a useless mutt freak
13:28Lady Emery, House Malvern welcomes your arrival
13:32So this is the mute failure you wished me to train?
13:37The Queen's invitation has been destroyed
13:40I can take you to the banquet myself
13:44Aldric!
13:46I shall overlook your actions this once
13:48Go to your room and rest
13:50Young Master...

14:36No!
14:38No!
14:41No!
14:44Aaaaah!
14:47What... kind of power is this?
15:02A Supreme Maget is channeling nearby. If I continue, my mana will collapse.
15:11Master Merlin! Her Majesty suffered a mana backlash. She's coughing blood!
15:24What?!
15:32A grand Archermeist, still alive at this age.
15:41Heavens! I have seen such crushing power.
15:44A mana like this. From the forgotten Malvin Estate. Whoever he is, he could swallow a city.
15:54How could a fallen minerhouse deserve such a master?
15:59Before him I am nothing. I dare not seek him out.
16:05I'd give up the crown for a master like that.
16:13Just one more step to refining my core. Now my voice can reach their minds.

22:10It was nothing more than a demonstration.
22:14Ah, it was Madam Emery.
22:15For a moment, I thought this magicless Rhett had caused all that noise.
22:21If that is all, we shall leave you to your lesson.
22:30All right, your magic's strong.

24:10I beg you.
24:11Stay your hand.
24:19Aldric, I apologize.
24:20I have no right to be your master.
24:23But I have one request.
24:24Please, accept me as your disciple.
24:28The curse upon my tongue is not yet broken.
24:31Not yet time.
24:32Maybe.
24:36Thank you, Master!
24:39I shall not fail you.
24:43Master!
24:44The Queen Victoria's banquet tomorrow.
24:46You must be there.
24:48Alderac did not fail the Highmaster.
24:51Keeping him in was a fair decision.
24:54Aldric's talent is boundless.
24:57His power shall soon dazzle the whole of Theros.
25:01Dazzle.
25:02Will his name truly around after tomorrow's royal banquet?
25:06The Queen Victoria's banquet.

25:12Cronomages.
25:13Such talent for a ten-year-old.
25:15Could it be he was never truly a mute?
25:19Record every mark.
25:21Lock it in the library's core vault.
25:23No one touch it.
25:24My lord, is it truly that valuable?
25:27More valuable than everything in our faults.
25:31Fail me, and you answer with your life.
25:34Understood, my lord.
25:47At last, the silence curse is shattered.
25:51Even at ten, no one could match me.
25:55Behold, Mar-La-Ghost, the Dark Dread is here.
26:08Where is Aldric?
26:10The Queen is waiting, Grandpa. Why delay for a magicless wretch?
26:14Theroselite will be there, Father. Bringing that rude mute will make us a laughingstock.
26:20Aldric comes with us. That is final.
26:24The talent he has shown these past days, it is utterly terrifying.
26:29Aldric's talent is boundless. His power shall soon dazzle the whole of Theros.
26:37If he shines before the Queen, House Malon may rise again.
26:46All are present, sent forth to the royal palace.
26:58The royal palace will see what House Malvern discarded.
27:09Chronomages. Such talent for a ten-year-old.
27:12Could it be he was never truly a mute?
27:16Record every mark. Lock it in the library's core vault. No one touch it.
27:21My lord, is it truly that valuable?
27:24More valuable than everything in our faults.
27:27Fail me, and you answer with your life.
27:31Understood, my lord.

28:27Aldric's talent is boundless. His power shall soon dazzle the whole of Theros.
28:33If he shines before the Queen, House Malon may rise again.
28:43All our presents sent forth to the Royal Palace.
28:54The Royal Palace will see what House Malvern discarded.
29:02Caelan, all the great houses are here tonight. This is your chance to honour the Malverns.
29:09Seize it.
29:10I will, Father. I've waited years.
29:13Tonight, I will show them House Malvern has a true prodigy.
29:21Aldric, your cousin Caelan will surely impress the Queen tonight and receive her favour.
29:26Just stay humble and serve him. He'll go easy on you.
29:29I bow to no one and I follow no man.
29:32How can you be so stubborn? I am only trying to protect...
29:37You spoke.
29:40What are you doing?
29:41You'll know soon enough.
29:47Seriously, Emre? A ten-year-old Mastodarts even you cannot rival?
29:52A mute child who can't chant? Impossible.
29:56Presenting, the Noble House of Malvern.
29:59If you doubt my eyes, come.
30:01Witness the miracle of this millennium for yourselves.
30:04Then let us see what this boy truly is.
30:10The petty Malverns?
30:11Why would three High Magists greet a minor house?
30:16It must be for Caelan.
30:18They say he has some talent.
30:21Caelan?
30:22He's a mere pretender, not worthy of their gaze.
30:37Caelan, look.
30:39Three High Magists.
30:40All of Theris must know your name.
30:43My son!
30:45You have brought glory to us!
30:47Missing only Her Majesty!
30:49They came from me.
30:59Master Merlin, what troubles you?
31:02Your Majesty.
31:03The mana is shifting.
31:05The Grand Archmist is near.
31:08Truly?
31:09Then we must hasten.
31:11I must see myself.
31:12You honor our name today, Masters, by coming to receive us in person.
31:17Just as I thought.
31:19They are all here for me.
31:26What is the meaning of this?
31:28They were not here for Caelan.
31:31Here he comes.
31:40Such an oppressive Herrera.
31:44We have awaited your arrival.
31:46Aldric!
31:47He is the exiled kin of House Malwin.
31:49Three High Mages gathered to welcome a mute Wret.
31:52Pure madness.
31:54Your Majesty.
31:58Aldric!
31:59On your knees!
32:00Do not be insolent!
32:04We're doomed.
32:05This mute Wretch is getting us all executed.
32:08Bringing him was a goddamn mistake.
32:10He has ruined us all.
32:28So you're Queen Victoria.
32:30So you're Queen Victoria.
