00:00Daughter of the Lord, bloodline awakened, heir to the throne, glory to the soul and clan, a gift from Hekney
00:07well-deserved.
00:11Give me a red wine.
00:20The wine you asked for.
00:27You walk in here while he is clearly occupied?
00:31Are you blind or just stupid?
00:39Then Lord Rowan can pour his own wine.
00:42What did you just...
00:43Did you call him by his name?
00:45You address him as my lord, you disrespectful little twat!
00:53That is enough, Isolette.
00:56Know your place, Zahra.
00:58You have no house, no bloodline, nowhere you're in this realm that would take you in.
01:03I will leave then.
01:04I will go rogue before I die.
01:07You have no soul power yet.
01:10Until you do, you belong to this house.
01:13You belong to me.
01:17Come to my study once you have cleaned this up.
01:29Fifteen years with not a single confirmed trace of my daughter.
01:33What more do you need, Lord Blackwell?
01:35I hear you, Lord Cassian.
01:37But murder and abduction require proof.
01:41The other houses will not move against Greth without it.
01:44House Greth attacked House Solani fifteen years ago.
01:47My daughter vanished the same night.
01:49I know what happened to her.
01:51Her body was never found, Lord Blackwell.
01:54In fifteen years, no body.
01:57What does that tell you?
01:59Or do you just not want to hear it?
02:03You are the only one with the power and the standing to help us.
02:07You have to help me avenge my daughter.
02:15Clotha, Laxius, Hekma, if any of you are listening, please, tomorrow, give me my soul power when I turn eighteen.
02:23Set me free.
02:25We will live simply.
02:26In the woods if we have to.
02:28We will hunt for what we need.
02:30We will need nothing from anyone in this house ever again.
02:34I will attend Rowan Greth's feast tomorrow.
02:38Whatever is inside that castle, I will find it.
02:42You have my word.
02:45I will pull everything we have on the Gretheth, attack on House Selenen.
02:50Every record.
02:53Every body.
02:55Body that was not found.
02:57Do it.
03:00Zara Salone's body was never found.
03:03I suspect she is not dead.
03:25You're a fast learner, my lady.
03:48Rowan, you asked to see me.
03:50What is she doing here?
03:52Was she watching us?
03:54You will address me as my lord.
04:03If you walk in here without knocking again, I will make sure you cannot walk at all.
04:10Isolid, leave us.
04:13Excuse me?
04:14I said, leave us.
04:25How long have you lived here at House Greth?
04:28Almost 15 years.
04:30Have we ever let you go hungry?
04:33Cold?
04:35Without shelter?
04:37No.
04:38What are you trying to say?
04:43Are you jealous?
04:44Is that what this is?
04:47You wish you were the one I was fucking?
04:49You disgust me.
04:50What?
04:51I am not jealous.
04:53I am disgusted.
04:54And you are not my lord.
04:56The only L word that fits you is low life.
05:01My lord.
05:02Lord Theron Blackwell of House Blackwell has confirmed his attendance at tomorrow's feast.
05:10Theron Blackwell is coming here?
05:12I only sent that invitation out of courtesy.
05:14Why now?
05:14What does he want?
05:15My lord.
05:16I believe it signals respect.
05:17If Theron attends, the other houses will follow.
05:19It confirms our standing.
05:21You think so?
05:22He must know House Greth is the second house in the realm.
05:24He is acknowledging the threat.
05:29Since you find this so amusing, you will prepare and serve the entire feast, beginning to end.
05:36Tomorrow is my 18th birthday.
05:38You promised me a day's rest.
05:40I changed my mind.
05:50Does Zada know the cloth I wove her to you?
05:57Do not ever mention again.
06:02I...
06:03Forgive me, my lord.
06:04It...
06:05It only seemed as though you two were...
06:10We are nothing.
06:12She is a servant.
06:14An orphan.
06:15I do not know why the Moray Goddesses chose her for me, and I do not care.
06:20I will not accept it.
06:22What do you plan to do with her?
06:25Once she turns 18 tomorrow, her soul power will awaken.
06:28She will feel the fated between us the moment it does.
06:31I will sever it publicly, in front of the entire feast.
06:34Severing a threat decreed by the Morayas is not a simple act, my lord.
06:38Clothra herself spun it at her birth.
06:39I do not care.
06:40You are dismissed.
06:48Damn it, Zahra.
06:54Sorin, I need you to source a worthy gift for Lord Rowan Greth before tomorrow's feast.
06:58A gift?
06:59For Rowan Greth?
07:00Why would you...
07:01We keep our friends close, and our enemies closer.
07:04Yes, my lord.
07:05Daughters of allied houses, each one a strong political match.
07:09If you arrive at the feast with one of them on your arm, it sends a message.
07:13House Blackhead is building alliances, not just the enemy.
07:17I will not be bringing a companion.
07:18My lord, if House Greth discovers you are still unwavered at your age, they will question
07:22your stand, and they will use it against you at the feast.
07:24Let them.
07:25I am Theron Blackwaite.
07:30Let's hope she is there.
07:32Whoever she is.
07:40My lord.
07:41Those burns.
07:42Are those...
07:43Jade Hog.
07:44Yes.
07:45Inside the estate.
07:46How did it get past the...
07:47It was tracking something.
07:49A soul whose suppression is breaking.
07:52Something it could smell from a long distance.
07:59The trail leads toward House Greth territory.
08:02Lord Cassian's daughter.
08:04Have the carriage ready at dawn.
08:06Sauron.
08:07Tell no one about the burns.
08:24Happy birthday to me.
08:26Happy birthday, Zara.
08:29Who is there?
08:31It is me, Lara.
08:33I am your divine gift, Zara.
08:35Hecate's gift.
08:36The one they sealed away when you were a child.
08:39I have been here the entire time.
08:41They simply would not let me speak.
08:43Hecate's gift.
08:44You are Hecate's gift.
08:46It is very good to finally meet you.
08:48And there is something I need to tell you.
08:50About the one the Moiri decried for us.
08:52The one Clothra wove into your thread at birth.
08:54Clothra wove a thread for me?
08:55Yes.
08:56The one she decreed for us.
08:57He is here.
08:58He has always been here.
08:59In this castle.
09:01Who?
09:02Roan Greth, lord of this house.
09:05Clothra wove you for him in the birth.
09:07He has known since before you did.
09:31He is coming.
09:32I can feel him approaching.
09:34Zara, when you see the thread, do not let it show on your face.
09:53So, Hector finally broke the seal.
09:56You knew.
09:58This whole time you knew what Clothra decreed and you said nothing.
10:01So what?
10:02You are a servant.
10:04A casteless orphan.
10:05You have no house.
10:06No bloodline.
10:07Nothing.
10:09What Clothra decreed does not change what you are.
10:12I defy the decree, Zara.
10:26If you beg, perhaps I will reconsider.
10:31I accept your defiance, Rowan.
10:35What?
10:39The thread is gone.
10:41So are we.
10:42Clothra does not weave a second thread for the same person.
10:45You will live and die casteless.
10:47So be it.
10:48Pack what you have tonight.
10:50After today, I do not want to see you in this castle again.
10:52I have been waiting years for you to say that, Rowan.
10:59You are allowed to feel it, Zara.
11:01What he did this morning.
11:04I just need to get through this feast.
11:08There is someone coming tonight.
11:10I can feel a presence in the road.
11:13Something old.
11:14Something that knows Hector's gift from a distance.
11:16Everything can wait until after the feast.
11:25The carers were in this tree line last night.
11:28How close?
11:29Close enough to leave tribute at the window.
11:32Someone inside that castle has been paying them to stay back.
11:35Paying the carers to stay back from whom?
11:45Hector's bloodline in Inside House Greth.
12:05Hector's bloodline in Inside House Greth.
12:11Lord Blackwit, what a pleasure.
12:14I hope the road treated you well.
12:15Our castle sits deep in the forest.
12:17Not the easiest journey.
12:18Lord Rowan built House Greth Castle from the foundations up.
12:22It is everything a great house should be.
12:24Hmm.
12:25A gift from House Blackwit, Lord Greth.
12:28In honor of tomorrow's betrothal.
12:31Lord Blackwit, this is far too generous.
12:34We could not possibly...
12:36Pocket change, shall we?
12:41What do you think you are doing?
12:43Do not embarrass me.
12:47I saw a servant girl at the rest-use pile.
12:51Find out who she is, how she came from, how long she has been here, everything.
12:56And the carers were paying her the kind of attention they paid to...
12:59I know, Sauron.
13:00Find out who she is tonight, before the feast ends.
13:10Lord Blackwit, I have always admired what House Blackwit has built in the Northern Territory.
13:15The estate, the trade routes.
13:17I feel we share very similar tastes in what a great house should be.
13:20Isoleth.
13:21Zara, wine.
13:24We have an important guest.
13:26Lord Blackwell of House Blackwell.
13:29Show some respect.
13:31What are you waiting for?
13:33We have an important guest.
13:34This is Lord Theron Blackwell of House Blackwell.
13:36Show some respect.
13:39I need to step out a moment, my lord.
13:47Excuse me.
13:48Where are you going with that?
13:51I am trying to wash.
13:53Wash?
13:54You call that washing?
13:56Can you just leave me alone?
13:58Please.
13:59I am not even supposed to be talking to you.
14:01I just want to know your name.
14:03Please.
14:04It's my 18th birthday today.
14:06Just do not make this worse.
14:12It is her birthday.
14:14Lord Blackliffe is going to want to know that.
14:17I noticed you came alone, Lord Blackwell.
14:20No companion for the feast.
14:22Is there no one who has caught your interest?
14:25I hear House Blackwell has no shortage of fine houses seeking alliance.
14:29There is someone.
14:31Is that so?
14:35Well, we have some of the finest bloodlines in the realm here tonight.
14:39Lady Meryn of House Vale.
14:41Strong covenant line.
14:42Excellent standing.
14:44Lady Meryn, Lord Blackwet of House Blackwet.
14:47She has good bloodline.
14:49And, well, if Lady Meryn is not to your pace,
14:53take your pick of any house here tonight.
14:55This is the finest gathering in the realm this season.
14:58There is someone, actually.
15:00Oh?
15:01Who is the lucky lady?
15:02That servant girl.
15:04From earlier.
15:05The one who poured the wine.
15:09You cannot be serious, Lord Blackwell.
15:12She is a castless servant with no house name.
15:16Whatever interest you have.
15:19Surely one of the noble daughters here tonight would serve you far better.
15:22I am not interested in the noble daughters.
15:25She does not even bathe properly.
15:27She has no access to moods a lot of times.
15:29Is that something she chooses?
15:31Or something she is not permitted?
15:36Send her to my guest room.
15:38I would like to speak with her.
15:40That is not going to...
15:44Of course.
15:46We will send her up.
16:01Well, it seems you have admirers.
16:04Lord Blackwell has requested your company in his guest room this evening.
16:10For some reason, Lord Blackwell wants you for the evening.
16:13No idea why.
16:16What are you talking about?
16:20Please do not wear that.
16:23Consider it a parting gift.
16:25I heard Rowan sent you away.
16:28Finally.
16:30Lord Blackmet's guest room.
16:32To the right at the end of the upper corridor.
16:33Do not disappoint him.
16:34I am not going.
16:36Why not?
16:36Does he not interest you?
16:38I do not know him.
16:39And Clothie does not weave second threads.
16:41You said so yourself.
16:42Clotha does not weave the same thread twice.
16:44But she weaves more than one kind.
16:47Go and see for yourself.
16:49And Zara.
16:51Please.
16:52Change your dress.
17:20You said so yourself.
17:28Theola, Lord Blackwet
17:31What did you just call me?
17:34Rowan, Isoleth sent me to the wrong room
17:37She did this deliberately
17:49Zahra?
17:52What in the name of the gods?
17:54What do you think you are doing with my betrothed?
17:57You castless little witch
18:03She came to seduce my betrothed
18:05In his own room
18:07Look at what she is wearing
18:09You put me in this dress
18:10You sent me to this room
18:12You told me it was Lord Blackwell's
18:14You lying
18:16Do not touch her
18:22If you lay another hand on her
18:23I will make certain you regret it
18:25For the rest of your days
18:36Blackwell
18:37This is my castle
18:39My house
18:40You do not
18:41She is with me now
18:43Come
18:53How is your face?
18:55It is fine
18:56I am used to it
18:58Why do you let them do that?
19:00In case you have not noticed
19:01I am not exactly in a position of power here
19:04So
19:06This is the castless servant of House Greth
19:08With an attitude
19:10Thank you for what you did back there
19:12You do not have to
19:13I am leaving this house tonight
19:15Release me
19:16You are aware I am Lord of Shouse Blackwell
19:19The more powerful house in Orvran
19:21I am
19:23Which is exactly why you would not want someone like me
19:27No house, no bloodline
19:29What is your name?
19:31Zara
19:32Just
19:33Zara
19:34I do not remember my house name
19:36My parents died when I was small
19:38House Greth took me in
19:39You are with me now, Zara
19:41You do not have to go anywhere tonight
19:44Or at all
19:56Happy birthday
20:00This
20:00Is my
20:01Castle
20:02My territory
20:03Step aside
20:05Lord Blackwell has requested privacy
20:07I cannot allow entry
20:08You cannot allow
20:09I am Lord of this house
20:10I could have you removed from this castle entirely
20:12The accord between houses expires soon, my lord
20:15You would not want to offend Lord Blackwen over a servant
20:18There is no way a lord like Theron Blackwell accepts someone like her
20:23She has nothing
20:24She is nothing
20:26Zara is not nothing, my lord
20:28She is Lord Blackwell's guest
20:35Why do you care so much about her?
20:37She is irrelevant
20:38She is nothing
20:39I do not want to talk about it
20:41I imagine she is doing everything she can to please Lord Blackwell right now
20:45That shameless, castless wench
20:47I said I do not want to talk about it
20:53Zara
20:55Did you just call me Zara?
20:58What? You are being paranoid
21:01Paranoid? I am paranoid
21:03I knew it
21:04I have always known it
21:06It was always about her
21:08Always Zara
21:09Did you ever even care about me?
21:12What am I to you?
21:13What have I ever been?
21:14You are right
21:16He cannot have her
21:18What?
21:19Are you serious right now?
21:21I am talking to you
21:23Rowan
21:23Do not you dare leave me here
21:32Lord Rowan insists on seeing Zara
21:34He says it is urgent
21:37You do not have to go
21:41I should
21:42I want to end this properly
21:50What do you want Rowan?
21:51You cannot go with Theron Blackneck
21:53You do not even know him
21:54Clotha decreed him for me
21:56I am your decree
21:58Zara
22:00Do not leave
22:01I know things between us have been
22:03Things between us?
22:04There were no things between us Rowan
22:06For fifteen years you treated me like a servant
22:09You watched Isolde abuse me
22:10And you said nothing
22:11You kept Hekti's seal on me
22:12So I would never know who I was
22:14And then you broke Clotha's thread
22:16You rejected me Rowan
22:17Your words to the gods
22:19I will marry Isolde
22:20The betrothal is too far along to break
22:23But I can move you somewhere safe
22:25A house of your own
22:26You would want for nothing
22:27You do not have to go to Blackwick
22:28You do not have to
22:29What are you trying to say to me right now?
22:30Are you telling me you want me to be your kept secret?
22:33The other woman while you marry Isolde?
22:35I came to say goodbye Rowan
22:37That is all this is
22:40Zara
22:40I have always loved you
22:43What?
22:45I said I love you
22:46Do you hear me?
22:47You cannot treat someone like nothing for fifty years
22:50And then tell them you love you
22:51That is not love
22:52Let me go
22:52I told you I am willing to work something out
22:55What more could you possibly want from me?
22:57This is how you show love?
22:58I do not want it
22:59Let me go
22:59Stop pretending
23:00You think I do not know?
23:02You disobeyed me
23:03Gave me that attitude every day
23:05To get my attention
23:06You have it
23:07I never wanted your attention
23:09I never wanted any of this
23:10Let me go
23:14We are leaving
23:14Now
23:17What about my things?
23:19I have everything you will ever need
23:40You will have your own rooms at House Blackneck
23:43Tomorrow I can arrange for whatever you need
23:46Clothing, anything you want
23:47We can send for
23:48Is that a village?
23:50The market town of Veld
23:52Three leagues from Greth territory
23:54A market town
23:59We will sort out the council inquiry tomorrow
24:02Lord Cassian will want to move quickly once
24:06Forgive me
24:07What were you saying?
24:09I have never even seen anything beyond the castle walls
24:13Call me Theron
24:18Take the long road through Veld
24:19We are not going home yet
24:33Zara
24:33This house
24:34It knows us
24:35Hectala and Neve
24:37Have walked the same road
24:38Since before mortals had names for either of them
24:40This is a safe place
24:43The shadows
24:44They are moving
24:47They are the nextborn
24:49They guard this house
24:50They will not harm you
24:51They are alive?
24:53They are older than alive
24:55They have been here since Nyx first made her covenant with my bloodline
25:03They have never done that before
25:04They recognize Hecate's gift
25:07They are saying hello
25:14I want the girl
25:15Send her out
25:16She is a guest of House Blacknickth
25:19She leaves when she chooses
25:20Open the gate, Zoran
25:22Last time I ask
25:24No
25:37You brought hollow men to my house
25:39You broke my gate
25:41Think very carefully about what you do next
25:44The girl is a servant of my house
25:46She is not yours to keep
25:48Give me the girl and I walk away
25:50She is not a servant of your house
25:52She never was
25:54And I think you have always known that
26:20What are you doing?
26:30Stand down
26:34This isn't over, Blackweck
26:36Send a raven next time
26:38Like a lord
26:41Rowan
26:49I know about the attack on House Saluni
26:51I know you sealed a three-year-old child and kept her hidden for fifty years
26:54And I know Clotha with thread for her and you threw it away
26:57Atrotus is watching you
26:58You defied the Moraes, buried Hecathar's bloodline and destroyed an entire house
27:02The gods don't forget that
27:03And neither do I
27:04You read my ring without permission
27:06That is a violation of the accord between houses
27:16Do not go out there, Zara
27:18Rowan's RS gift is not controlled
27:21When he is this angry
27:22He would not mean to
27:23But he could drain you through the seal fractures
27:26The cracks make you vulnerable
27:28I am not afraid of him
27:30I know
27:31But the seal is not fully broken yet
27:34Until it is
27:35Stay inside this house
27:37The Nyxbourne will not let him pass the gate
27:40What happened at the gate?
27:42He backed down for now
27:44But he will move against you
27:46Soon
27:47Rowan does not accept losses
27:48What does he want from me?
27:50He defied the decree himself
27:52He sent me away
27:53What is there left to take?
27:54He does not want you
27:55He wants to make certain no one else has you
27:57There is a difference
27:57Your name is not just Zara
27:59Your full name is Zara Selene
28:00Daughter
28:01Of Lord Cassiel Solene
28:03And Lady Neva Solene
28:05Of House Solene
28:06That is not possible
28:08My parents died when I
28:10They did not die
28:13House Greath attacked House Solene
28:14Fifteen years ago
28:15Your parents survived
28:17You were taken in the chaos
28:18Either by Greath soldiers
28:20Or hidden here afterward
28:22Your parents have been searching for you ever since
28:24My parents are alive?
28:26Yes
28:26I met with them two days ago
28:28Your father sat across a desk from me
28:30And told me fifteen years of searching
28:32Your mother has not stopped looking
28:34Since the night you disappeared
28:35House Solene
28:37Hector's covenant
28:38Yes
28:39Your bloodline carries Hector's gift
28:42Soul sight
28:42The ability to see the complete truth of any person
28:44The rarest gift in Arvran
28:45It is why the covenant seal was placed on you as a child
28:48To keep Hector's gift buried
28:49To keep you buried
28:52Why are you doing this?
28:54I gave your father, Lord Cassian, my word
28:56That is not what I mean
28:57You came to that feast looking for something
28:58You saw me and you spent the rest of the night
29:00Trying to find out who I was, why
29:01The Shadehound tracks in my study
29:03Led to House Greath territory
29:04The Keris retreating when I arrived
29:06The pieces were already there
29:07That is still not what I mean
29:10My gift responded to you at the gate
29:12Before I knew who you were
29:13That does not happen
29:14Not to me
29:15Lyra said Clothda weaves more than one kind of thread
29:18Yes, she does
29:40Lord Cassian
29:42I said I would find her
29:49You have her eyes
29:52Your mother's eyes exactly
30:00I did not know you were alive
30:02They told me
30:03I thought
30:03I know
30:03I know what they told you
30:05I prayed
30:06For years I prayed
30:08I did not know who I was praying to
30:10I called her Hectith
30:11I just prayed that someone was listening
30:13Hector was listening
30:14She always was
30:16I never stopped looking for you
30:18Not one day
30:20Not one hour
30:27You were three years old
30:29The night they came
30:31House Greath attacked at the third bell of night
30:33No warning
30:34No declaration
30:35Just Greath soldiers at our walls
30:37They knew exactly what they wanted
30:40Hectata's covenant had just passed to you at birth
30:42House Solane with a newborn heir
30:44Carrying the full force of soul sight
30:45That terrified them
30:46You would have been the most powerful voice
30:48At any council table in Auron
30:51So they took me instead of killing me
30:53They put the covenant seal on you that same night
30:56And they kept you where they could watch you
30:58And where the seal would never break
30:59Surrounded by Rowan Zara's gift
31:02Pressing the seal down every day
31:03Simply by existing near you
31:05I am Clotha's decree
31:07Rowan was woven for me at birth
31:09He knew if the thread appeared
31:11He could not hide who I was any longer
31:13Which is why he defied it immediately
31:16Better to pay the cost of defying the Moirai
31:18Than to let you know who you were
31:21He was afraid of me
31:26His entire house has been afraid of you
31:29Since the night you were born
31:33The seal will fully break within days
31:35Once Hectata's gift is free in her
31:38See through every lie in this realm
31:40She will see what we did to her family
31:43She will be able to prove it at council
31:45Then we stop it before it breaks
31:47The seal is too far gone
31:48Rowan's suppression cannot close those fractures
31:50Hector is driving them open from the divine side
31:52There is only one thing that stops Hecta's gift once it starts
31:54Voidban
31:56Voidban severs the Covenant permanently
31:58Hecta's gift gone from her bloodline entirely
32:01Gone
32:02I know someone who can get it
32:07Get it
32:14How does it work?
32:16One touch to bare skin
32:17The poison enters through contact
32:19It reaches the Covenant connection in the blood within one hour
32:22After that
32:23The gift is gone
32:24The bloodline's covenant with Hecta dissolves permanently
32:27As if the original bargain was never made
32:29If I use it on her, what happens?
32:32She lives
32:33She simply becomes ordinary
32:49Good morning
32:49Good morning
32:50Good morning
32:50This was always your room
32:52We never changed it
33:01Tell me what Lyra says your gift does
33:03In full
33:04Soul sight
33:06Hecta's gift
33:06I can see the complete truth of any person
33:09What they intend
33:10What they hide
33:10What they have done
33:11No lie survives it
33:13In its full form
33:14Lyra says I can read an entire room simultaneously
33:16Can you use it now?
33:18Not yet
33:18The seal is still there
33:19Most of it
33:20Lyra says when it fully breaks
33:22The gift will arrive all at once
33:24She says it will be overwhelming
33:25At first
33:26When it does
33:28You will be able to see the truth of everyone around you
33:30Including me
33:31Does that concern you?
33:33No
33:34Zara
33:35The warmth between you
33:37That is real
33:38Clothy wove it differently this time
33:40It will not collapse if defied
33:41It only grows
33:43Not yet
33:43What?
33:44Nothing
33:45Lyra talks a great deal
33:49Rowan demands we surrender Zara to House Graith
33:52Custody within three days
33:55Or he declares inter-house conflict
34:01He cannot declare conflict against both our houses
34:03House Selene and House Blackworld together outrank him at every council
34:07He does not need to win the conflict
34:09He only needs to create enough chaos that the other houses look away while he moves against Zara directly
34:17He is not going to wait for the council
34:19He is going to move before the seal breaks
34:21Lord Cassian
34:22Can you call the council
34:26Formally
34:26Openly
34:27Before Rowan moves first
34:33I can
34:34But if Rowan has something that can stop the seal breaking before the council convenes
34:39Do not let anyone you do not trust come near your wrist
34:42Not until the seal is fully gone
34:58Fifteen years ago House Graith attacked House Solani without declaration, without cause and without consequence
35:02My door three years old was taken that same night
35:05A covenant seal placed on a child of Hecate's bloodline to suppress her divine gift
35:09She was kept as a servant in House Graith for fifteen years
35:13I am asking this council to answer for what was done
35:15House Graith denies every accusation
35:18The girl in question was an orphan found wandering near our territory
35:21We took her in out of charity
35:23The covenant seal was placed for her own protection
35:26Her gift was unstable
35:27Lord Cassian has no proof of anything he has claimed
35:30Furthermore
35:31This girl has no documented bloodline
35:34No House Solian birth record survives the attack on their estate
35:38Lord Cassian is asking the council to accept the word of a costless servant
35:42Over the standing of House Graith
35:44I have proof
35:47When Ronan showed up to my house
35:48I used my gift and read his ring
35:50What I found wasn't pretty
35:51Fifteen years of deliberate moves against House Solane
35:54The attack
35:54Taking the child
35:56Locking Hectima's gift inside her with that seal
35:58All of it
35:59That ring has witnessed everything
36:01He read my ring without permission
36:03Article 7 of the Accord permits a reading of House Insignia when a missing heir is involved
36:07That itself is a violation of the Accord
36:09Everything he claims to have read is inadmissible
36:11Zara Solande is a missing heir
36:13Her father sits in this table
36:24Zara, left side
36:25Now
36:32Zara, fight it
36:34Do not let it reach the Covenant
36:36Do not
36:47What did you give her?
36:50Nothing that was not necessary
36:56Zara?
36:58Zara!
36:59Zara!
37:00Hectiet is here
37:01She is fighting it
37:02Hold on
37:28This is what you were born for, Zara Solanea
37:31Now let them see you
37:36Welcome home
38:01You see it!
38:04Vin, Vin, Vin,
38:27My name is Zara Soleen.
38:29My house made a covenant with Hector at our founding.
38:32Her gift allows me to see the complete truth of any person in this room.
38:35Nothing hidden survives it.
38:37You accepted payment from House Grief six years ago
38:40in exchange for blocking House Solane's petition to this council.
38:44You told your household it was a trade agreement.
38:47I am not here to expose every secret in this room.
38:49I am here to confirm one thing.
38:52Everything Lord Blackwell told this council is true.
38:54I can see it in every person who was present at House Grief during the years they kept me.
38:58Every action, every decision, every order given.
39:03This council will not accept the testimony of a girl
39:05who just had a vow pressed to her wrist.
39:07She is clearly...
39:11Sit down.
39:19Rowan, you lost.
39:21Accept the judgment of the council for the mistakes you have made.
39:29You're done, Rowan.
39:31Look around you.
39:32I'm not done until I say I'm done!
39:35I'm done!
39:52I'm done!
40:07It is over, Rowan.
40:14You went to a crossroads at night.
40:16You took something from Hades Domain.
40:18Don't.
40:20You pressed it against my wrist in front of this entire council and watched me go down.
40:26You tried to kill a divine gift.
40:28In neutral land.
40:30In front of eight houses sitting in the room.
40:33Every Lord hearing it clearly.
40:34I protected my house.
40:37What you would have done with that gift...
40:39I can see every lie you've ever told.
40:40Don't try another one.
40:41I move that House Crane be held responsible for the attempted use of Hades-sourced poison on a divine heir
40:46in neutral ground.
40:48Isilter Crane to be stripped of her house title and remanded to council custody pending full judgment.
40:52You cannot.
40:53I am the daughter of House Crane.
40:55My father will...
40:55Your father is not in this room.
40:57Rowan.
40:58Rowan, tell them.
40:59Tell them I did it for us.
41:01For the house.
41:02You told me to get it.
41:03You said, get it!
41:06You're not going to say anything.
41:09Are you?
41:11I did everything for you.
41:13Every single thing.
41:15The room.
41:17The vial.
41:19Fifteen years of watching you look at her instead of me and I said nothing.
41:23I did everything you needed and you won't even...
41:26I loved you.
41:27That was real.
41:29Even if nothing else was.
41:38I loved you.
41:44I want you to know something before you go.
41:47You spent fifteen years trying to stop this moment.
41:51And here we are anyway.
41:53What do you want, Zahra?
41:54An apology?
41:54I want nothing from you.
41:56That is what I came to tell you.
41:58After everything you did,
41:59I feel nothing when I look at you.
42:05The council exiled him.
42:07He lost any powers he had.
42:17I do not know how to do this.
42:27Every single day.
42:29I said your name every single day so I would not forget the sound of it.
42:34So it would still be ready when you came back.
42:40Welcome home, Zahra.
42:53You found her.
42:55You brought her home.
42:57House Barnett has House Solina's gratitude for what you did,
43:00and I mean that without reservation.
43:03I did not come today for gratitude.
43:05No.
43:06I did not think so.
43:07What are your intentions toward my daughter, Lord Blackwell?
43:09Honorable ones, I want the right to court her.
43:11Properly, openly, with your knowledge and consent.
43:13Nothing hidden, nothing rushed.
43:14She has been kept hidden and castless for fifteen years.
43:16She has just received her full divine gift and learned who she is.
43:19She is not a prize to be collected, Lord Blackwell, by anyone,
43:21including the man who helped find her.
43:23I know that.
43:24The decision is hers entirely.
43:25I am asking your permission to be considered,
43:27not your permission to decide for her.
43:29She already knows you came.
43:31She saw it in your face the moment you arrived.
43:33You, I am aware of that.
43:34Good.
43:34Then there is no point pretending this conversation is a secret.
43:46I spoke with your father.
43:47I know.
43:48I saw it in your face before you said a word.
43:50Is that going to be a permanent condition?
43:52Reading everything before anyone speaks?
43:54Yes.
43:56Good.
43:59In the Accord Hall, when you read me, what did you see?
44:03Everything you have done.
44:04Everything you intend.
44:06Everything you have been afraid to say out loud since the gate at House Greth.
44:10And?
44:10And nothing hidden.
44:12You are exactly what you appear to be.
44:13That is, rarer than you know.
44:16Do you see that?
44:20I see it.
44:22I told you.
44:23A decree of purpose.
44:24It only grows.
44:27So, what do we do with it?
44:29I have a few ideas.
44:30You are not as serious as you pretend to be.
44:33And you are not as unbothered as you pretend to be.
44:36I read you, you know.
44:37What am I supposed to do with it?
44:39I know.
44:42You are not afraid of that.
44:44I had nothing to hide.
44:54Lyra is going to be insufferable about this.
44:56I heard that.
44:58Come on.
44:58Your father is going to send someone to find us soon.
45:01Let him.
