00:08Dimitri!
00:10Today's our wedding day, and you're doing this to me?
00:13Why?
00:24Because I'm the one he loves, not you.
00:27Guess what we were just doing in your bridal suite, sister?
00:30While you were being tortured in the dungeon,
00:33Dimitri and I were lying skin to skin on your wedding bed.
00:39You bastards! You actually tricked me?!
00:42You idiot. The only reason I proposed was your magic.
00:46Enough to help me seize the throne.
00:50Now you're worthless.
00:57What are you doing?! Let me go!
00:59You're doing-
01:06Dimitri, I ruined so many people just to help you get the throne.
01:10And in the end, if only I could do it all over.
01:19What's happening?
01:21Didn't I just die?
01:22Dearest Anastasia, enter into a pact with me.
01:25I swear I'll make you the happier woman in Dragonspeen City.
01:28I'm reborn?
01:29I'm back to the night before Dimitri proposed?
01:32Look at him, so sincere.
01:34He just wants my magic to get the throne.
01:37Well, since I'm back, this time I'll make sure you both die screaming.
01:43Sorry, Dimitri. You're not worthy.
01:54I choose...
01:57Him.
02:00I choose him.
02:04Did I see that right? Lady Anastasia just turned down Prince Dimitri.
02:08Not only that, she picked a wingless nobody!
02:11Oh, this is gonna be good.
02:15Ivan Volkov.
02:18Last life, I injected berserk magic into him.
02:22Just to help Dimitri eliminate a rival.
02:25Ah!
02:29Ah!
02:31Ah!
02:32Ah!
02:33Ah!
02:39Ah!
02:39Ivan Volkov.
02:40Will you accept me?
02:42Will you enter into a pact with me?
02:44Oh!
02:46Anastasia.
02:47You challenge me by choosing a no-bud?
02:52Sister!
02:53Ivan is a wingless dragon!
02:54He has no right to the throne!
02:56And you're the eldest daughter of House Voronov!
02:58How could you lower yourself like this?
03:00Since you care so much about status, Katarina, why don't you marry Prince Dimitri?
03:06House Voronov has more than one daughter, after all.
03:10Sister? How could you say that?
03:16Enough, Anastalia!
03:18You defy me at every turn, and now you challenge Prince Dimitri and your sister in public?
03:26Defy you?
03:28Wait till you find out what your perfect daughter has really been up to.
03:32Father, since you say I'm defying you, then let me defy you all the way.
03:42Ivan, let's go.
03:50If you walk out that door, you're no longer a member of House Voronov!
04:00Aren't you going after her? We still need her magic for the succession trials!
04:08Chase her. She's just throwing a tantrum.
04:11Once she calms down, she'll come crawling back to be my dog.
04:17Enough!
04:19Anastalia, I don't know what game you're playing.
04:21Is it fun for you, messing with a cripple?
04:24Don't forget how I lost my wings!
04:29I'm sorry, but believe me, what I did today wasn't on a whim.
04:35I'll make your wings grow back, and give you back the right to the throne.
04:40What? But only forbidden magic can regrow dragon wings.
04:43That's for high mages.
04:44You have the power, sure, but you're still just a low-rank maid.
04:46How could you-
04:47Last life.
04:48To put Dimitri on the throne, I knocked on every forbidden library door.
04:52Learned every forbidden magic there was.
04:56I remember every single one, and I'm already a high mage now.
05:05Anastalia, what are you doing?
05:22At last, you can soar once again.
05:28Anastasia!
05:38Why did you give up half your magic?
05:41Just to regrow my wings?
05:43Because Dimitri betrayed me.
05:45He wanted me to pave his way to the throne, then throw me away like trash.
05:49Yvonne, let's work together.
05:51I'll help you take the throne, and you help me get revenge.
05:54I'll let you participate in the candidate trials next week,
05:56but I won't enter into a pact with you.
05:58Wingless freak! Get out of Dragonfly!
06:01What's the difference between you and a worm?
06:03Ha ha ha ha!
06:07That's fine.
06:09But before the trials, there's something we have to do.
06:28My wings just grew back, and you lost half your power.
06:31The fallen city is full of evil dragons who hate humans-
06:33Which is precisely why I have to be here.
06:37You and I are too weak right now.
06:38If we go to the trials like this, Dimitri will do whatever it takes to take us out.
06:42We need a guardian.
06:43The strongest one there is.
06:45There's never been real trust between humans and dragons.
06:47Some dragons choose to fall,
06:49and some humans choose to hunt them.
06:51And the greatest dragon slayer of them all,
06:54Maxim Kuznetsova,
06:55is locked up in here.
07:01Maxim Kuznetsova,
07:01How...
07:02How did he end up here?
07:06Maxim saw what you did to Ivan.
07:08If he stays alive, word will get out.
07:11What will you do then?
07:12I sold him out.
07:13To silence him, to protect myself.
07:15For Dimitri, this time,
07:17I'm going to get him out myself.
07:20And make up for what I did.
07:28Anastasia.
07:39Maxim!
07:45It's been a while, my princess.
07:49So, what new twisted game is it this time?
07:51I'm sorry, Maxim.
07:53I came to get you out of here.
07:57Save me?
07:59Do you have any idea
08:01what I've been through in this place?
08:03A knight?
08:04A dragon slayer?
08:07Ha ha ha!
08:08Bet you never thought your own ally would sell you out to us!
08:12What?
08:13Still hoping she'll come back for you?
08:15Forget it.
08:16She's probably in someone else's bed right now,
08:18having the time of her life.
08:20Take a good look.
08:21She's not coming.
08:23You're nothing to her.
08:24Just a dog she threw away.
08:26No!
08:29Every single day,
08:31I dreamed of all the ways I would defeat you.
08:34Don't forget your knight's oath.
08:37From this day forward,
08:38your safety is my reason for existing.
08:40I swear it on my life and my honor.
08:43I pledge myself to you, Anastasia.
08:45I pledge myself to you, Anastasia.
08:52Maxim,
08:53I've already paid the price for what I did.
08:57Maxim.
09:02Oh, did you forget?
09:05Maxim,
09:06you personally sold him into the fallen city.
09:14Maxim Kuznetsov,
09:15I made Ivan's wings grow back.
09:17And I swear to you,
09:18I can make you a knight again.
09:19A knight with glory.
09:23Maxim Kuznetsov,
09:24I made Ivan's wings grow back.
09:27And I swear to you,
09:28I can make you a knight again.
09:29A knight with glory.
09:34Get them,
09:35all of you!
09:36Don't let that dragon slayer escape.
09:38He's finished.
09:39Nothing to be afraid of.
10:00Anastasia!
10:08Back off!
10:15I told you,
10:17I would give you back your honor as a knight.
10:32You actually believe the woman who sold you out?
10:35She's been cast out of her own house.
10:37House Voronov doesn't want her anymore.
10:39She came to you because she's desperate.
10:40She needs a dog that can still bite.
10:42Is what he said true?
10:43No,
10:44that's not...
10:44And I thought,
10:45you actually came to save me,
10:46but it was just another use.
10:52Consider your life spared
10:54for pulling me out of here.
10:56But I will never serve you again.
11:08He's gone.
11:09What do we do now?
11:12Now,
11:13we attend the trial.
11:15As planned.
11:17It's been so long
11:19and that bitch still hasn't come crawling back.
11:21You don't think something's changed,
11:23do you?
11:23A woman cast out of her family
11:24in a wingless reject.
11:25What kind of storm could they possibly stir up?
11:28The trial now begins.
11:31Only those who pass the test
11:33and earn recognition
11:35may set foot upon the path to the throne.
11:39Ivan Volkov,
11:40second son of House Volkov.
11:41He too carries royal energy.
11:43He will participate in today's trial.
11:46A dragon with no wings.
11:47What's the difference
11:48between him and an overgrown lizard?
11:50He's a disgrace to Dragon-Kund.
11:53Allowing him to remain
11:54in Dragon-Spite City at all
11:56is mercy enough.
11:57And he dares show his face here?
11:59Sister,
11:59father has already disowned you.
12:01If you cause another scene today,
12:03exactly how many more times
12:05do you intend to shame
12:06Alsip Varanoth?
12:07Sister,
12:08what kind of madness
12:09have you dragged in here now?
12:11Wings or no wings,
12:12the energy that runs through his veins
12:14is still the energy of dragons.
12:16No one can change that.
12:17You cannot deny him
12:18his right to stand trial.
12:21Anastalia's right.
12:23Ivan carries the energy of dragons.
12:24No one here can deny that.
12:26In that case,
12:26I have a proposal.
12:28Ivan intense confrontation me.
12:30One bout.
12:31If you can defeat me,
12:32or even manage not to lose
12:34too disgracefully,
12:35I, on behalf of Dimitri,
12:36the royal court,
12:37and Ivan here,
12:38will support your entry
12:39into the trial.
12:40How about that?
12:42Fine.
12:44You fool.
12:45Challenge yourself in public.
12:47I'm going to enjoy this.
12:50What's the contest?
12:51A dragon warrior
12:53proves himself in the sky.
12:55Ivan, we race.
12:56First to reach the highest peak
12:58of Dragonspine Mountain.
12:59Isn't this just a flying race?
13:01Ivan's already lost.
13:03Fine.
13:03We accept.
13:07The eldest daughter
13:08of House Voronov.
13:09Has she lost her mind?
13:15Lord Dimitri is truly
13:17the most promising heir
13:19of this generation.
13:20And that Volkov reject?
13:22My little princess.
13:23It's not too late
13:24to regret this.
13:25Just apologize to me,
13:26and I'll forgive you.
13:34Impossible.
13:35A wingless dragon.
13:37How could he grow wings?
13:38But those are real dragon wings.
13:40There's no mistaking them.
13:42What do we do?
13:43He's been faster than me
13:44since we were children.
13:45Relax.
13:46If we're winning,
13:46we challenge them in public.
13:48If it looks like we'll lose,
13:49we cut them down mid-flight.
13:50After we say they use dark magic.
13:52After all,
13:53what else could possibly
13:55regrow severed wings
13:56if not dark magic?
13:57No one here will dare object.
13:59Begin!
14:12Now.
14:14Now.
14:16Now.
14:19Now.
14:26Now.
14:28Now.
14:29Now.
14:43Maxim? What's he doing here? He should be rotting away in the fallen city!
14:51Damn it! That bitch must have freed him!
14:54This is bad!
15:09Maxim? I knew you would come.
15:16How did you know he'd help us?
15:19Because he's the one who cut off your wings. He wants redemption. Just like I do.
15:40Dimitri, according to our agreement, as long as Ivan wins, you support his entry into the Royal Air Trial.
15:47Honor your word, and I won't press charges for your strike.
15:55It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. Dimitri strike them.
16:00To think the first heir, Dimitri, would stoop to something like this.
16:04Everyone, hear me out.
16:07House Voronov has studied magic for generations, and the only thing that can regrow a severed dragon's wings is forbidden
16:14magic.
16:18We did not strike without cause. Anastalia has broken the law. She used forbidden magic.
16:26According to our code, she should be detained immediately.
16:29Forbidden magic?
16:33Katarina, you say I used forbidden magic. But is there a single person in this hall who doesn't know that
16:40I'm only a low-level mage?
16:42How does a low-level mage cast spells that only a high-level mage it can even touch?
16:47I can't pronounce the first syllable of those incantations.
16:56It is indeed common sense that a low-level mage cannot cast forbidden magic.
17:02Quite right. If you're going to accuse someone, at least produce proper evidence.
17:07Axe to Lord Ivan Volkov. As thus the recipient of the spell, he bears no legal responsibility.
17:13I believe everyone here is well aware of that.
17:17As for who casts the spell on Lord Ivan, if necessary, I will cooperate fully with the investigation.
17:24But the most urgent matter now is to allow Lord Ivan to participate in the royal heir cost.
17:30Anastasia, thank you.
17:32I will investigate this matter thoroughly.
17:36Until then, Ion Volkov is provisionally added to the list of heir candidates for the trial.
17:47Then now, the trial begins.
17:52The fallen city is no longer content to snulk in the shadows underground.
17:57According to reliable intelligence, evil dragons are amassing an army, preparing to wage war on Dragonspike City.
18:04And the human noble, Mikhail Chernyshov, has secretly pledged himself to the fallen city.
18:10The first trial task, find evidence of Mikhail Chernyshov's treason.
18:14Whoever secures that evidence passes the trial.
18:16Mikhail Chernyshov, just like the last life, exactly the same.
18:21This time, let's see.
18:23Without me, can you two still get the evidence?
18:26Just you wait.
18:31No, stop.
18:34What are you doing?
18:35Let go of me.
18:36Stay still.
18:38Do you want to pass the trial or not?
18:53What?
18:55Seen enough?
18:56Just as I thought.
18:57A face this delicate, in women's clothes, you're practically prettier than I am.
19:01Damn it.
19:02Why am I actually angered by this?
19:05What exactly are you planning?
19:06What does dressing me up like this have to do with the trial?
19:08If I remember correctly, three nights from now, Mikhail will be selecting a dance partner
19:13from among the noble daughters for the royal ball.
19:17We'll enter his estate as candidates for the selection.
19:23You want me to seduce him?
19:25Are you out of your mind?
19:28Even I was stunned when I saw you.
19:31Mikhail won't be able to walk straight once he gets a look at you.
19:35But why me?
19:37Forget it.
19:38If you're not willing, I'll go myself.
19:42There's really no other way?
19:44Mikhail's cautious about everything except women.
19:47This is the best option we've got.
19:48Fine.
19:49Your magic hasn't recovered yet.
19:51I'll do it.
19:55So, what's the plan?
20:08Look, it's House Voronov's youngest.
20:11Just as breathtaking as they say.
20:14If even she's here to compete, the rest of us are nothing but wallpaper.
20:20This is all because of that madwoman, Anistia.
20:22I don't know what the hell's gotten into her.
20:24If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have to challenge yourself seducing Mikhail.
20:27As long as our plan succeeds, a small sacrifice like this is nothing.
20:39Ivan, why would you pay such a price to help me?
20:42This is challenge, isn't it?
20:45Don't get the wrong idea.
20:46I'm doing this so I can pass the trial.
20:49And here I thought you were worried about me.
20:51Got my hopes up for nothing.
20:53I'm grateful you helped me grow my wings.
20:55But they were mine to begin with, weren't they?
20:58We're just...
21:00partners.
21:02Fair enough.
21:05So...
21:07Let's make this partnership work.
21:10The evidence is in Mikhail's study.
21:12And the only key to that study is on his person.
21:15Get him drunk.
21:16Get the key.
21:17I'll meet you in the study.
21:20Mikhail Chernyshev.
21:21Last life.
21:22I paid a steep price to help you find evidence for Dimitri.
21:27In my last life, I went through hell sneaking into House Chernyshev's estate.
21:31Found the letters he hid in his desk.
21:32But what I didn't notice back then were the magic traps hidden in the very air.
21:37I fought with everything I had to escape.
21:39But what happened next, I never saw coming.
21:42Sister.
21:43You worked so hard.
21:45What a shame.
21:46I'll be telling Dimitri that I was the one who went through all this trouble to find this evidence.
21:51Back then, I thought Katarina had simply stolen my credit.
21:54Now I see.
21:55You two were in on it together from the start.
22:01Isn't that Anastasia?
22:02Correct me if I'm wrong.
22:04Wasn't she cast out of her house?
22:06That bitch.
22:07Of course she showed up.
22:09So what if she came?
22:11This time, luck won't be on her side.
22:14Sister.
22:15What are you doing here?
22:17You've been cast out of the family.
22:18You really shouldn't be showing your face at an occasion like this.
22:22Indeed.
22:23A commoner.
22:24Mingling with nobility.
22:25And where's Ivan?
22:26Did he not bother to follow you?
22:28Has that useless bastard already tossed you aside now that he's got the inheritance?
22:32Anastasia, I can give you one more chance.
22:34Apologize.
22:35Help me get close to Mikhail.
22:36When I become lord, I'll make an exception.
22:38Let you stay by my side.
22:39As a maid.
22:41Dimitri.
22:41Have you forgotten?
22:43The day you knelt before me, begging for my hand,
22:46what did I say to you?
22:48You're not worthy.
22:54That bitch is getting bolder by the day.
22:56Relax.
22:57As long as I'm here, Mikhail won't even see her.
22:59I've already won this round.
23:03House Voronov's daughter truly lives up to her name.
23:06No one's outshying her tonight.
23:08Such a shame.
23:09The younger sister's so extraordinary, while the elder...
23:12Sister, ever since we were children, you've always hated dancing and etiquette.
23:17So tell me, what do you have to compete with me now?
23:24Landy Katerina.
23:27May I have the honor of invite you to be my dance partner at next week's Royal Ball?
23:33Once I get that key, this game is mine.
23:36I would be delighted.
23:43Whose maid is this?
23:44What do you expect?
23:47A lie with no manners hires servants.
23:50Just as lowborn.
23:51How dare you behave so disgracefully as a maid?
23:54Remove your veil and apologize to Lord Mikhail.
24:05My lord, forgive my rudeness.
24:08Good heavens!
24:09Where did she find an ally that beautiful, that wretched?
24:13So she never planned to compete against me herself?
24:20This beautiful young lady is?
24:23My personal maid.
24:24She lacks training.
24:25I apologize for the embarrassment, my lord.
24:29No embarrassment at all.
24:32I wonder, might I invite this maid to be my dance partner instead?
24:37Of course.
24:39Being chosen by Count Michiel is an honor for her.
24:46Mikhail?
24:46You would choose an ally to challenge me?
24:49This feeling...
24:50Why does it feel so familiar?
24:52Oh my.
24:52Is this the first time the second young lady of House Varanov has been challenged?
24:56A celebrated noblewoman losing to a rough ally girl who couldn't even show her face.
25:00Just who is that maid?
25:02That face.
25:03It's utterly extraordinary.
25:05This scene.
25:06Why does it feel like I've witnessed it before?
25:09Have you all forgotten?
25:10Just days ago at the Dragonspike City proposal,
25:12Lord Dimitri was left standing on that stage in exactly the same way.
25:15Little sister, you didn't actually think I was trying to compete with you myself.
25:21Did you?
25:28Impossible.
25:30Absolutely impossible.
25:33What are you doing?
25:35You still don't see it?
25:36That maid is Ivan Volkov in disguise.
25:46Are you telling me I lost to a man?
25:50That damn bitch.
25:52She never planned on competing against me herself from the very start.
25:56No wonder she dismissed me so completely outside.
26:00So in other words, we were both publicly challenged by the same woman and the same man.
26:06Anastasia, I am not done with you.
26:11Lady Anastasia, might I take this maid with me now to instruct her in proper etiquette?
26:16Her manners are still somewhat unpalmished and I would hate to lose face at the royal ball.
26:21But surely that wouldn't be entirely proper.
26:23She isn't here as a candidate.
26:25In return, as of today, you are an honored guest of House Chernyussef.
26:28Even if House Voronok no longer shelters you, the doors of the Chernyussef estate will always be open to you.
26:33Of course.
26:33Count Mikhail by all means.
26:35My lord, do make sure to discipline her thoroughly.
26:38She's very shy.
26:41I'm feeling rather tired.
26:42Would the count be so kind as to arrange a guest room for me to rest?
26:47Everyone, feel free to take your leave after the banquet.
27:03Since you want to send Ivan into the Lion's Wren, let me help you seal the deal.
27:12I wonder how Ivan is holding up.
27:18What happened?
27:19Did he do anything to you?
27:21It went smoother than I expected.
27:22He drained most of the wine bottle, his gaze growing bleary and unfocused.
27:27Staggering unsteadily over, he stumbled forward, only to collapse heavily onto the couch, never able to rise again.
27:33Good.
27:35Strange.
27:37Last time I had to go through so much trouble just to get him drunk.
27:41Is she worried about me?
27:42Or just the key?
27:44I got the key.
27:52Just as I thought.
27:54Only this key can open that cursed door.
27:58What is it?
27:59Don't rush.
28:00That's a high-level forbidden curse.
28:02One touch, and every trap in this study activates at once.
28:06Good thing I'm a high-level mage now.
28:08I can break it.
28:09It'll just take time.
28:12Good thing Dimitri warned me.
28:15Otherwise, you two little rats would have gotten away with it.
28:18Damn you, Dimitri.
28:19I never thought you'd sink so low as to ally with Mikhail just to get revenge on me.
28:23Anastalia, surrender yourself and your maid without her intense confrontation.
28:27I'll have my fill of you two first.
28:29Only then shall I grant you a swift death.
28:40Ivan, buy me time to break this trap.
28:47Still putting up an intense confrontation?
28:49Nobody moves.
28:50Watch and learn.
28:51Let me show you how I play with them.
28:56Didn't expect a little wench like you to be this good.
29:00No.
29:01What's happening?
29:02My head.
29:03Something inside me is boiling.
29:05I can't hold it back much longer.
29:06Ivan, look out!
29:10Ivan?
29:11What did you just call him?
29:12Isn't that the youngest son of House Volkov?
29:14But isn't that a man?
29:19The woman in the count was so lucky.
29:21Was a man?
29:22Tell me.
29:23Do you think nothing actually happened in that room?
29:26So it's that wingless waste of space.
29:28Dressed up like a woman, you're actually more approached than the real thing.
29:32Tomorrow I'll sell you off to Fallen City.
29:34A Dragon Lord candidate?
29:35I can't even imagine what you'd fetch.
29:38But before that, I have a debt to collect for the challenge you've put me through.
29:43Guards, strip him!
29:45You dare!
29:46Get your hands off him!
30:06Impossible.
30:08Impossible.
30:09Anastasia is just a low-level mage.
30:11How could she break a high-level forbidden curse?
30:14Hurry!
30:14Grab them!
30:15Otherwise we're all dead!
30:17Ivan!
30:18Are you okay?
30:20Are you hurt?
30:21What's wrong with him?
30:23Could the rampage be setting in?
30:31Drugging Ivan's wine.
30:34Turns out that was a remarkably effective move.
30:40Ivan!
30:41Where are you?
30:43Ivan!
30:44Where are you?
30:45Calm down, it's me.
30:48Why isn't my soothing working?
30:57You are just using me, aren't you?
31:01You were the one who had my wings severed back then.
31:04You were the one who put me in a maid's dress and sent me to seduce Michelle.
31:09From the very beginning, I've been nothing but a pawn in your hands.
31:13You're just using me to get revenge on Dimitri.
31:17Anastasia.
31:18No matter how you struggled, in the end, you're still my plaything.
31:52So it was you two.
31:53You're the one who had to be the real thing.
31:54Now that we have what we came for, no need to keep up the act.
31:59I've always been better than you at everything.
32:01But just because you're the eldest, everything was yours.
32:04The marriage alliance was yours.
32:05The title was yours.
32:06Even Mother favored you more.
32:08When I was the obedient one, the one who did everything right.
32:11Are you finished?
32:13Since you refused to walk the path we laid out for you,
32:16I'll find you another destination.
32:19The dragons in Fallen City are always in need of playthings to soothe their rage.
32:24Different method, same result.
32:28Dimitri, you'd better defeat me now.
32:31Because if you don't, you will regret it.
32:34We don't need to do it ourselves.
32:35If the console investigates, it'll bring trouble.
32:40A bizarre dragon.
32:42Defeat Anastadia in a fit of madness?
32:45Yes, that would be perfectly believable.
32:57Darling, you really are brilliant.
33:01No, there's still a way.
33:06Ivan, look at me.
33:08You are not forsaken.
33:09Do you hear me?
33:11You are not...
33:13Ivan Volkov, will you form a pact with me?
33:16From this day forward, become my exclusive contractor.
33:41You're awake.
33:43You're awake.
33:44How are you feeling?
33:45I'm fine.
33:48Just magic exhaustion.
33:50A few days of rest and I'll be back to normal.
33:53Between us?
33:54Did we form a pact?
33:56The situation was desperate.
33:59I had no other choice.
34:01Once our partnership ends, the pact can be dissolved.
34:03Don't overthink it.
34:08As your contractor, for as long as this pact endures, I swear on my life.
34:13I will protect you and I will never betray you.
34:16I never thought the walls between us would come down like this.
34:20How long was I unconscious?
34:22It's been three days.
34:23Three days?
34:24Today is the final deadline for the trial.
34:27We have to get to the Dragon Hallis now.
34:29But our evidence was taken by Dimitri.
34:32Going there is pointless.
34:42That's you handed it over.
34:44I never took just one letter from Mikkel's drawer.
34:46I knew from my past life.
34:48One was the secret correspondent with Fallen City.
34:51The truly damning evidence of treason.
34:53The other was his personal diary and love letters with noblewomens in the city.
34:58Only discovered much later.
35:00You tricked them.
35:01What you gave them.
35:03Were the love letters.
35:05Compared to treason, that list of husbands recorded in those love letters.
35:09That's what will truly bury Mikhail beyond any hope of recovery.
35:15And Dimitri's probably misknowned in.
35:18Dimitri's probably already furious.
35:22Let's go to the Dragon Palace.
35:24Today, it's our turn to flip the board.
35:28Consul.
35:29Here is the ironclad proof of Mikhail Chernyasov's treason.
35:40Arrest Mikhail Chernyasov.
35:42Immediately.
35:45Ivan Volkov.
35:52That bitch.
35:54She's still alive.
35:56That bitch.
36:00With a seal this strong, it had to be the secret letter.
36:09What the hell is all this?
36:15Anastasia!
36:16According to the secret letter, Mikhail has long been colluding with Roman Crovely of Fallen City.
36:22Under the guise of select a royal dounce partner, the two of them secretly sold participate noblewomens to Fallen City
36:28for those evil dragons who reject human soothing to formably extract their magic.
36:32Therefore, the second trial task is hunt down Roman Crovely of Fallen City.
36:38He who brings back his head.
36:39Roman Crovely of Fallen City.
37:02You think about Roman Crovely of Fallen City, aren't you?
37:04No.
37:04I'm thinking about Dimitri.
37:06And Katerina.
37:08I suspect they're connected to Fallen City.
37:14In my previous life, just how blind was I? I didn't notice a single thing.
37:19What's our next move? Go to the consul for help?
37:22No proof. Empty words.
37:25Accusing them rashly will only tip them off.
37:27The only thing we can do right now, find Roman Crovely first, capture him, and we pass the second trial.
37:35And besides, from his mouth.
37:37We might just pry out the thread connecting Dimitri to Fallen City.
37:41If Roman and Dimitri are truly already in league, then won't every step we take from here be on a
37:45board they've already set?
37:48I thought this was just simple revenge.
37:50See the enemy clearly, build up strength, pay back energy with energy.
37:54I never imagined Dimitri would be this vile.
37:57Now we have no choice but to find Maxim.
37:59As long as we have him, we still have a chance.
38:10Run.
38:12Why aren't you running anymore?
38:16Run.
38:25It's okay now.
38:30Long time no see, Maxim.
38:41Anesthesia.
38:43What are you doing here?
38:44That sword strike last time.
38:47It already repaid my debt for cutting off Ivan's wings.
38:50I don't owe you people anything anymore.
38:52It cost me a great deal to find you.
38:54Maxim.
38:55I need your help.
38:57What Dimitri is brewing is far worse than any of us imagined.
39:01Between him and Fallen City...
39:03Enough!
39:05I've heard enough of your lies.
39:07I know you've broken with Dimitri.
39:09I know everything you're doing now, it's all for revenge against him.
39:13I'm not going to be like that fool Ivan letting you use me as a pawn.
39:17My sword, from this day forward, will only be swung for the common people.
39:23Think what you will.
39:24I won't force you to change how you see me.
39:30I only ask that you hear me out.
39:33Fallen City has a secret dungeon.
39:36Inside, countless girls are held as magic sacrifices,
39:39enduring torments worse than fall, day after day.
39:42If you truly still believe in the code of knighthood,
39:44then this time, I hope we can intense confrontation side by side,
39:48and get them out.
39:50I really have changed, Maxim.
39:53I need you.
40:00Wait!
40:04I wonder, will this even work?
40:13I'm only agreeing to rescue the captured girls.
40:15Everything else, revenge, the throne, dragonhide politics, I want no part in it.
40:20You just do what you need to do.
40:22Leave the rest to me.
40:23How do you plan to find them?
40:25Roman Kroravi.
40:26I've heard that name before, in my past life.
40:29That black drag, he was originally a noble of Dragonspike City.
40:32He once had a contractor, named Elena.
40:35Later, Elena abandoned him, for reasons unknown.
40:38From that day on, he chose the path of corruption.
40:41He started kidnapping human women obsessively, as if trying to fill the void she left.
40:47Even after Mykeel's crimes came to light and he fled,
40:50women kept disappearing along the border.
40:53Roman's hunt never stopped because of Mykeel.
40:56Wait.
40:57Don't tell me you're planning to use yourself as bait again.
40:59Lately, there have been rumors along the Dragonspine City border.
41:03Girls going missing in a certain area.
41:05I want to try my luck.
41:06No.
41:07It's too dangerous.
41:08Let me go in your place.
41:10Just like last time.
41:11Absolutely not.
41:12Dragons can sense each other.
41:15You can't replace me.
41:16You can't even be part of this operation.
41:19Ivan.
41:20Maxim will be there.
41:21I will absolutely not come to harm.
41:24Wait for me at the castle.
41:27They should be taking the bait by now.
41:40Hello, beautiful princess.
41:42I am Roman Crawley.
41:45May I form a pact with you?
41:46I can't move.
41:47His power is monstrous.
41:49So that's Roman.
41:50He came himself.
41:52This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
41:54One word from me.
41:56And Maxim's sword will find his throat.
41:58He'd never dodge it in time.
42:00But if I defeat him now,
42:02those kidnapped girls stay trapped in that dungeon.
42:04And whatever thread connects Dimitri to Fallen City
42:07dies with him.
42:08Go on.
42:09Give the order.
42:10If you do, I'll know every word you've said was a lie.
42:13You came looking for me.
42:16Only for yourself.
42:17From the beginning.
42:18Just give the order.
42:20Show me who you really are.
42:22Cat got your tongue, beautiful lady?
42:25May I form a pact with you?
42:27Maxim, I know you're watching.
42:30Then let me show you exactly what my resolve looks like.
42:37She didn't give the order.
42:39She could have defeat him.
42:41Has this woman truly changed?
42:43Or has her mask become so perfect I can no longer see through it?
42:52I found them.
42:54The kidnapped girls.
42:56They're all here.
42:57Hey.
42:58What's wrong?
43:00Wake up.
43:05Who are you?
43:07Don't be afraid.
43:09Tell me.
43:10How did you all end up here?
43:11We were all seduced by Roman.
43:15They put us on a stage and auctioned us off like emergency.
43:18Some of the buyers, they're even human nobles.
43:21The ones nobody bids on.
43:23They drain every last drop of magic and leave us here to rot.
43:31Someone will come for you.
43:33I promise.
43:36Maxim, are you following?
43:38Did you track me?
43:43You came.
43:44Now hurry.
43:45Get these girls out of here.
43:47Are you sure about this?
43:49The moment Roman finds these girls gone, he'll be on alert.
43:52You won't get anywhere near him after that.
43:54Won't get whatever it is you came here for.
43:56There it is.
43:57When it comes down to it, she hesitates.
44:00Rescue.
44:00Redemption.
44:01When there's something on the table, true nature always shows itself.
44:05Open the cells.
44:07Get them out.
44:07Now.
44:16I never thought she would.
44:20Descendant of a dragon slayer.
44:22Reduced to being a dog for that kind of woman.
44:31The same person.
44:33Just a few years.
44:35And it's like she's someone else entirely.
44:40What about you?
44:42Come with us.
44:43Withdraw to Dragonspine City first.
44:45I'm not leaving.
44:47What did you say?
44:47I said, I'm not leaving.
44:51I've come too far.
44:53Paid too much just to get to this point.
44:55Dimitri finally slipped up and showed his hand.
44:57If I walk away now, the thread to Roman is cut for good.
45:00He wants me gone?
45:02Well, I'm not going anywhere.
45:04Let's see who blinks first.
45:15Follow me.
45:17Maxim, did you find the person you used to be?
45:26Where is everyone in this dungeon?
45:34I'll ask again.
45:36Where is everyone in this dungeon?
45:43They've already left.
45:49You freed them.
45:50Then tell me, where did those escaped girls go?
45:59I wouldn't know.
46:01My dear Lord Roman.
46:02I'm a high-level mage, you fool.
46:05Cheap tricks like that don't work on me.
46:06She resisted my charm?
46:10You dare do this to me?
46:12Don't you know I'm the most dangerous assassin in all of Fallen City?
46:16Assassin?
46:18All I see is a pathetic man who got dumped.
46:21And defeat me?
46:22Lord Roman, your losses would be irreplaceable.
46:28Lord Roman, surely you've noticed by now.
46:30My magic reserves are higher than all those others combined.
46:34Which means, sell me and you reach out every last one of your losses.
46:38Interesting.
46:39In that case, I'll grant your wish.
46:43And sell you for the highest price possible.
46:45Wait!
46:46I want a bath first.
46:47And proper rest.
46:49What makes you think I'd grant such a ridiculous request?
46:53Looking like this, I won't fetch a good price.
46:56I'm thinking of your interests.
46:59Besides, aren't you afraid I'll run off again?
47:03Interesting.
47:04Then tell me, why haven't you run already?
47:09Isn't it obvious?
47:10I'm utterly captivated by Lord Roman's breathtaking face.
47:15Completely unable to help myself.
47:24What is wrong with this man?
47:25He imprisons me, then insists I wear this old dress.
47:29Just bear it.
47:30Dimitri's lead is still in his hands.
47:34Lord Roman,
47:36this dress suits me quite well.
47:41Something on your mind, Lord Roman?
47:42Shut up.
47:48Look at me.
47:51Didn't you just tell me to shut up?
47:54You're just like her.
47:56Turn your back so you don't go on your back the second things go your way.
47:58Oh, must.
47:59What is it?
48:00Whatever you want to say, just say it.
48:13Elena.
48:15Elena.
48:16Where have you been all these years?
48:19No, you're not her!
48:25Elena.
48:26The name of his former contractor,
48:28if I remember right.
48:30But why did he call me Elena?
48:36Wait.
48:38Let me ask you something.
48:40Why does he call me Elena?
48:43I...
48:43I don't know.
48:47Before he passed out drunk, he called out that name.
48:49Whatever you know, tell me.
48:52Because you look exactly like her.
48:54After Elena abandoned him, he started kidnapping human women,
48:57always looking for ones who resembles her.
48:58Even just a little.
48:59The eyes, the hair, the voice.
49:01If there's the slightest resemblance, he won't let them go.
49:04But someone like you is identical.
49:06I've never before identical to Elena.
49:08So that's it.
49:09No wonder he looks at me like that.
49:11All along, he's been looking through me at someone else's shadow.
49:14But how could such a coincidence be possible?
49:16Never mind.
49:17This face, Roman's weakness, and also a key.
49:19Revenge leads the second test.
49:21Maybe I can use all of it.
49:30This late?
49:32Where is he sneaking off to?
49:53So many girls.
49:55All gone in a single night.
49:57You can't even keep a few caged women under control?
49:59Without those girls as a source of magic,
50:02how am I supposed to make the scum of Fallen City,
50:04keep intense confrontation, my dramatic showdown willingly?
50:07Mitri, it really is you.
50:09Colluding with Fallen City, trafficking humans, all of it.
50:13It was my oversight.
50:15Oversight?
50:16Forget it.
50:17It's not the first time you've disappointed me.
50:19Still haven't learned your lesson from Elena?
50:21Roman is so proud.
50:23Why would he be this devoted to scum like Dimitri?
50:33Roman, your taste in partners is truly of minimal.
50:36A pig like this nearly ruined everything.
50:39The secret correspondence revealed,
50:41the trial launched ahead of schedule,
50:43and that bitch Anisteria still alive.
50:45All because of him.
50:46Mercy Lord Dimitri!
50:47Clean it up.
50:55Dispose of the body properly.
50:56No more screw-ups.
50:59Don't make a sound.
51:01Don't get caught.
51:02I need to find proof.
51:03Something to nail Dimitri with.
51:07Eavesdropping is a very bad habit,
51:10my dear princess.
51:14Didn't I tell you?
51:16You are not allowed to wander around.
51:21Dammit.
51:22It was Dimitri's challenge earlier.
51:24It triggered his dragon energy.
51:26He's going into a rampage.
51:28No choice.
51:30I have to calm him down.
51:31Now.
51:32Come on.
51:41Elena.
51:43Why?
51:45Why did you abandon me?
51:50I loved you so much.
51:52Look.
51:53I've kept what you gave me all this time.
51:58Then why did you abandon me?
52:02You deserve to die.
52:14What the hell was that?
52:22It's Katarina?
52:23The portrait?
52:24Is of Katarina?
52:27Now I understand.
52:29There never was an Elena.
52:30Katarina disguised herself as Elena.
52:32She approached him,
52:34formed a pact,
52:34gave him warmth and tenderness,
52:37then threw him away with her own hands.
52:39And that's how he became this,
52:42corrupted into Dimitri's personal tool.
52:44Dimitri,
52:45I finally know exactly how to overwhelm you.
52:51Last night,
52:52that kiss,
52:53I mistook her for Elena?
52:57You have a full wish.
52:59Who gave you the nerve to impersonate her?
53:03Defeat me.
53:05Then you will never,
53:08ever,
53:10find out where Elena is.
53:13She's already dead.
53:20Dimitri found her.
53:22Defeat her.
53:23Right in front of me.
53:27And that's why you willingly work for him?
53:30You just asked me why I look so much like Elena.
53:34I'll tell you why today.
53:36Because Elena never existed.
53:39Elena is my sister.
53:41Katarina,
53:42Dimitri's current fiancé.
53:44Which is why she and I
53:45look so much alike.
53:48From the very beginning,
53:49there was no Elena.
53:51Only a face.
53:52A lie.
53:53Your corruption,
53:54your suffering,
53:55all those years of bitterness and longing.
53:57Nothing more than a scheme
53:58hatched in fallen city.
54:02You almost had me convinced.
54:08Unfortunately,
54:09Lord Dimitri also told me something
54:11interesting.
54:12his rival for the throne
54:14has also come here.
54:17He said,
54:19if I find you,
54:22take your head to him.
54:24Immediately.
54:25You had Dimitri's defeat order
54:26from the very beginning.
54:28But you didn't defeat me,
54:29and you didn't hand me over.
54:32Why?
54:32Because even after everything
54:34Elena did to you,
54:35you still hold on to hope for her,
54:37don't you?
54:38Otherwise,
54:38you never would have kept me alive.
54:41You wanted to make me hope.
