One Night Stand with the Empire's General - HOT
Transcript
00:00:04As my husband, I've lost count of how many times Sasi has paraded his ally right in front of me.
00:00:11Of course, tonight is an exception.
00:00:14He thinks I'm visiting relatives in the country.
00:00:17He hasn't the faintest idea.
00:00:20Little does he know, this is where my revenge begins.
00:00:26Parasites.
00:00:30Since everyone's wearing a mask, no one knows who's who.
00:00:41So if you can mess about right in front of me,
00:00:48why shouldn't I do the same?
00:00:57That woman's back, looks awfully familiar.
00:01:04Stay the night with me.
00:01:06What do you say?
00:01:07I'm just an ally, my lady.
00:01:09You're wrong.
00:01:11Why let rank spoil the fun?
00:01:15A noblewoman luring to be with these kind of trash.
00:01:19Are you quite sure you can handle the consequences?
00:01:28No, no, no, no.
00:01:32No, no.
00:01:38No, no.
00:01:39No, no, no.
00:01:40No, no, no.
00:01:47I can't believe you.
00:01:49My son is laughing, man.
00:01:50No, no.
00:01:50No, I'm mad at that point!
00:01:51I'm actually pregnant.
00:01:56That man certainly knew how to put on a show.
00:01:59As long as Scar believes this child is his,
00:02:02everything my grandfather left me will eventually be mine again.
00:02:06My lady, I've come to change your bedding and your rag.
00:02:10Why now of all times?
00:02:12Just a moment!
00:02:15Scars hasn't touched me in six months.
00:02:17Before I announce the pregnancy, I need him to sleep with me one more time.
00:02:21Melris! The carriage is waiting!
00:02:24If we're late for the victory banquet, the blame falls on you!
00:02:30You're getting completely out of hand.
00:02:32What the devil are you doing in here?
00:02:37Sneaking around. What are you up to?
00:02:41Nothing.
00:02:42Why are your hands behind your back?
00:02:44You're standing on it.
00:02:47Throwing your filthy rags on the floor like this?
00:02:50Disgusting!
00:02:53Forgive me, my lord.
00:02:55I was just about to tidy the room and change her ladyship's rags.
00:02:58Wait outside.
00:02:59I'll get dressed and be right out.
00:03:00Hurry it up.
00:03:12Feed me another one.
00:03:19My lord.
00:03:20I prefer the curtains drawn.
00:03:23If you cared so much about appearances, you shouldn't have brought her into the carriage.
00:03:28Tonight is a banquet hosted by his majesty himself for my cousin, Eric.
00:03:32If you hadn't married me, a merchant's daughter like you would never set foot in the royal palace your entire
00:03:38life.
00:03:39Exactly. I'd defeat for a chance to go inside. You've no right to complain.
00:03:43If it weren't for my merchant fortune, you wouldn't even be able to afford this carriage.
00:03:48You'd have to go roll around in the dirt.
00:03:51I never want to hear you say that again.
00:03:53Don't forget.
00:03:54The deeds and shops your grandfather left behind all belong to me now.
00:04:01Let me help you cool off, my lord.
00:04:04Grandfather must have been blind to leave everything in his hands.
00:04:07Don't give me that look.
00:04:09As long as we play the happy couple, my cousin will think I'm a respectable man.
00:04:15And the northern ration contracts will stay in my hands.
00:04:33General.
00:04:35His majesty has sent word. The banquet is about to begin.
00:04:38The time of controlling the illusions is getting shorter.
00:04:41Still not found that woman?
00:04:43There were too many people that night. We're still screening them.
00:04:45After that night, the hallucinations stopped for two whole days.
00:04:52And it was only with her. Keep digging.
00:04:59Be a good girl and wait in the carriage. I'll be back right after the banquet.
00:05:05My lady. After you.
00:05:11Is that Vatret Skur's wife? I heard she's a merchant's daughter.
00:05:15No wonder she lacks class.
00:05:18Look at you. Go and beg Lilith to swap dresses with you.
00:05:22Stop embarrassing me here.
00:05:27Count Horne! It's been too long.
00:05:30Looking as dashering as ever, I see.
00:05:39I'd rather be thrown out than beg her for anything.
00:05:44My apologies, my lady, but we cannot allow you inside dressed like that.
00:05:48I know. That's why I need to borrow your sword for a moment.
00:05:51Please don't make a scene here, ma'am.
00:05:53I... I just...
00:05:56Use mine.
00:06:05It's the man from the masquerade!
00:06:09General, sir!
00:06:10The general? Soska's cousin is him?
00:06:13If you keep, my lady, you'll be late for the banquet.
00:06:18Thank you, General.
00:06:25Actually looks better than before.
00:06:29You flatter me, General. Just a quick fix.
00:06:32I'll see you inside.
00:06:41That woman. Why does she feel so familiar?
00:07:03Eric Hohenheim.
00:07:04Eric Hohenheim.
00:07:04The Empire will forever remember your triumphs in the North.
00:07:08My life for the Empire.
00:07:10He looks as though he's in pain.
00:07:13Rumor has it he'd defeat people just for fun since he's been back.
00:07:18You always take matters into your own hands.
00:07:20Stay away from me whilst I make my rounds tonight.
00:07:22I don't want people thinking I married a tailor's daughter.
00:07:29Perhaps he's not what the rumors say.
00:07:32A toast to you, General.
00:07:37It's getting worse.
00:07:40No.
00:07:41I need to find Edward.
00:07:42See if they've brought any spare prisoners.
00:07:47Cousin!
00:07:47The party's just starting.
00:07:49What's the rush?
00:07:51What is it?
00:07:52Oh, nothing much.
00:07:53Just notice the requisition orders for the border rations
00:07:56have paused lately.
00:07:57The North is secure, sure, but our garrisons out there eat through supplies fast.
00:08:01We can't let the transport stop.
00:08:02To save the front line some coin, I've been keeping prices rock bottom for years.
00:08:07I hardly make a dime.
00:08:11So regarding the rations contract.
00:08:19Shut up!
00:08:21Cousin?
00:08:22Rations were always tight whilst I was on the front.
00:08:24We only secured the area a month ago.
00:08:27Yet when I dressed as an ally and slipped into your estate, your little masquerade was quite the lavish affair.
00:08:32General!
00:08:34I believe you are mistaken.
00:08:37The heavy snows blocked the northern passes.
00:08:41Many merchant guilds refused to go near the border even if it meant taking a loss.
00:08:45Scar hosted that ball simply to placify the gang leaders.
00:08:48Yes!
00:08:49Yes, exactly!
00:08:50All for the Empire!
00:08:51You're defending him.
00:08:54Just stating the facts.
00:08:56And what are you to him?
00:08:57His wife.
00:08:59So was the lady of the house present at the masquerade that night.
00:09:08You misunderstand me, General.
00:09:10I'm merely speaking up for my husband.
00:09:12As for the masquerade, I wasn't there. I was visiting my aunt in the country.
00:09:15So you're not worried about your husband fooling around behind your back?
00:09:19You cut off his contracts and publicly challenge him over a single party.
00:09:23Are you going to interrogate our marriage now too?
00:09:26No.
00:09:28No.
00:09:35Forgive my intrusion.
00:09:38General!
00:09:40I want a new logistics plan on my desk in two days.
00:09:43If it's the same garbage as before.
00:09:46Then you're done with the northern contracts.
00:09:48Forever.
00:09:49Yes, yes, of course.
00:09:50I'll redraw everything.
00:10:00A stroke of luck, actually.
00:10:02There's no way Scar can come up with a new plan.
00:10:05If I use this to make him sleep with me again.
00:10:07Then you can stay.
00:10:09Loud and clear.
00:10:14Good thing you had one on standby.
00:10:22General, please let me go.
00:10:24I'm just a foot soldier.
00:10:25I was following orders.
00:10:27My girl is waiting for me back home.
00:10:30Please, no, please!
00:10:35Crimson Raven.
00:10:39General.
00:10:41Why haven't you found the woman from the masquerade yet?
00:10:46Do we even have prisoners left to kill?
00:10:49He's been looking for me since that night.
00:10:51I'm quite sure you can handle the consequences.
00:10:56Who's there?
00:11:06Crimson Raven, why haven't you found her yet?
00:11:09Are you quite sure you can handle the consequences?
00:11:14What the hell is wrong with you?
00:11:19Cold-blooded monster.
00:11:21He actually thinks he's some hero of the Empire.
00:11:23Don't be angry, my lord.
00:11:25Have some wine.
00:11:28I'm a cold-blooded monster.
00:11:30And I'm caring as a child.
00:11:32If he finds out I only used him for his food,
00:11:34he'll care me to pieces.
00:11:36No.
00:11:37The planning of his work can start.
00:11:45Women who come to my door usually fall into one of two categories.
00:11:48Those who want to get pregnant with someone else's child
00:11:50and those who want to get rid of their own.
00:11:53Which one are you?
00:11:54The latter.
00:11:58I'm out of a few herbs.
00:11:59I need to go fetch them.
00:12:10There's a gentleman in the back room who claims he's being haunted by the dead.
00:12:13If you hear him ring the bell, do me a favor and toss some of this incense into the burner
00:12:17for him.
00:12:24Let go.
00:12:26What are you doing?
00:12:30What is Scar's wife doing in a place like this?
00:12:37With someone else's child and those who want to get rid of their own.
00:12:44Surely the general doesn't think I'm the latter.
00:12:47I hear you and Scar have only been married for three months.
00:12:49In such a rush to have a baby.
00:12:52You're awfully invested in other people's private matters, general.
00:12:56Get out.
00:13:00I caused the burn.
00:13:01The least I can do is treat it.
00:13:03Not necessary.
00:13:03Leave the medicine.
00:13:04I'll do it myself.
00:13:05You can't exactly reach your own back.
00:13:15What a perfect body.
00:13:17Do you usually tend to your own mark, general?
00:13:20Yes, I don't like people touching my body.
00:13:23Apologies.
00:13:24This might sting a bit, general.
00:13:26All done.
00:13:27Hold on.
00:13:28Have you seen it before?
00:13:31Never.
00:13:32Is that so?
00:13:33I think it would suit me perfectly.
00:13:37General, please mind your boundaries.
00:13:40Her scent exactly the same.
00:13:42What?
00:13:49Changed your mind?
00:13:50If the man inside asked what I was doing here, tell him the exact opposite.
00:13:57You have the earring.
00:13:59If you find out the secret, I'll never be able to explain myself.
00:14:02I need to end this.
00:14:03Fast.
00:14:07How is there so much of this?
00:14:12Caravans.
00:14:13Tariffs.
00:14:14Where's housing?
00:14:15That Lunatork wants me to reorganize everything in two days.
00:14:17Does he think I'm the Chancellor of the Ex-Ament?
00:14:20Don't be so grumpy, my lord.
00:14:22Besides, selling off a few properties will keep us comfortable for a long time.
00:14:27What do you know?
00:14:28I refuse to end up like my father.
00:14:30Eating through his fortune till nothing was left but the title of a broke nobleman.
00:14:41But I suppose you have a point.
00:14:43What's the harm in selling one or two?
00:14:49Gently.
00:14:50I can't keep the baby.
00:14:53I can't keep it.
00:14:57Did you hear?
00:14:58The ally is starting to sell off the family estates.
00:15:01But those belong to her ladyship's grandfather.
00:15:05Where did you hear that?
00:15:06My lady.
00:15:08What is going on?
00:15:10The ally said that the northern contracts are likely gone, so he's selling off assets early to cover our expenses.
00:15:16Ska?
00:15:24Ska, we need to talk.
00:15:30Ever heard of knocking?
00:15:32Don't stop.
00:15:34You picked a bad time.
00:15:37If you still want the northern contracts, tell her to get out.
00:15:41You have a logistics plan?
00:15:43I said, tell her to get out.
00:15:48Ska?
00:15:52Get out.
00:15:54Why bother kicking me out?
00:15:56We're both women.
00:15:57I can tell you've no interest in intense confrontation, me for him.
00:16:00Not necessarily.
00:16:04Spill it.
00:16:06What's your play?
00:16:08I already have a solution for the northern supply routes.
00:16:11Tomorrow I'll go with you to see Eric.
00:16:14You seem... different today.
00:16:17You were just too focused on my grandfather's money to notice.
00:16:20Save it. If you fix this logistics mess, I might actually treat you a bit better.
00:16:24On the condition that you stop selling off the grandfather's estate.
00:16:29Deal.
00:16:32But wait!
00:16:33What is it?
00:16:35You're more beautiful.
00:16:37Intoxicating.
00:16:38More?
00:16:39But let me tell you.
00:16:40My name is Ska.
00:16:41Ska Elfrancis.
00:16:44That was close.
00:16:51Wait.
00:16:52Is that her ladyship?
00:16:54Breath?
00:16:55Are you crazy?
00:16:56How dare you fantasize about her ladyship?
00:16:58I'm scared.
00:17:00Gently.
00:17:01No, I've been telling you for so much.
00:17:03Wait, wait.
00:17:04I think I heard it too.
00:17:10Don't do that.
00:17:11Did you hear?
00:17:12Her ladyship actually consummated the marriage with the ally.
00:17:16I thought he never touched her.
00:17:18It's true!
00:17:21Doesn't she find him repulsive?
00:17:25Finally over.
00:17:27If he tries to sell my inheritance once, he'll do it again.
00:17:30How much worse can things possibly get?
00:17:33I'm risking it!
00:17:35It's not as if I have any other way out.
00:17:45You don't want to make a fool of yourself in front of your cousin, do you?
00:17:53That was rape!
00:17:55Rape?
00:17:56Aren't we husband and wife?
00:17:57Are you going to tell the whole world that I raped you, Lord Vanknet?
00:18:00A merchant's daughter.
00:18:01Shameless as expected!
00:18:03Your grandfather's entail is clear.
00:18:05Only your legitimate child can inherit the valentine shops, lands and granaries.
00:18:10But I'm telling you right now, you won't get a second chance like that!
00:18:13What, once wasn't enough?
00:18:14Do you really have that little faith in your own... stamina?
00:18:17You bitch!
00:18:18Don't celebrate just yet, Mellis.
00:18:19Once you secure those Northern contracts for me, you'll be completely useless!
00:18:23I'll make you wish you were dead!
00:18:29Two days.
00:18:32Interesting.
00:18:33Seems you haven't been slacking after all.
00:18:35Of course!
00:18:37How could I neglect a direct order from the General?
00:18:40I poured my energy, sweat and tears into this...
00:18:42But why does it say to bypass Ashport?
00:18:47Well...
00:18:47Because...
00:18:48Because that port is...
00:18:49Narrow.
00:18:51Right?
00:18:51The roads are terrible!
00:18:53I hear it's the largest port in the entire Empire.
00:18:55Did you not know that?
00:18:56Because Ashport has been cracking down on salt smuggling recently.
00:18:59The caravans are critical military ranchers for the North.
00:19:01If they go through Ashport and get detained on suspicion of smuggling,
00:19:04the delays would starve the Northern garrisons within three weeks.
00:19:06That's why we must reroute through the Eastern waterways,
00:19:09although it adds four days to the journey.
00:19:12But at least it's secure.
00:19:21Fascinating.
00:19:21It seems you aren't the real businessmen in the Alfonson family, Scott.
00:19:24No, that's not true!
00:19:25A lot of the other routes were my idea!
00:19:28I hate being lied to.
00:19:30Next time it'll be your throat on the end of this blade.
00:19:34Close one.
00:19:35Looks like he still hasn't recognized me.
00:19:37The Northern contracts are yours, fine.
00:19:39But she has to be involved.
00:19:41But cousin!
00:19:42Get out.
00:19:45Lady Melis.
00:19:47Melis.
00:19:47I didn't say you could leave.
00:20:06Melis Valentine.
00:20:07Your grandfather built a fine business.
00:20:10But a merchant's a merchant.
00:20:12The Alfonson family's fallen shore, but they still have a title.
00:20:16You married him. Give and take.
00:20:19Must be humiliating, though.
00:20:26If you're trying to stir trouble between us, I'll leave.
00:20:31The North is secured, but the Empire is still surrounded.
00:20:34I need talent.
00:20:35Join my staff.
00:20:37Good pay, and I'll help you take back everything Scustol.
00:20:40Something's off.
00:20:42You flatter me, General, but I'm just a woman.
00:20:44Why go through all this trouble for me?
00:20:47Because the perfume you wear
00:20:51smells just like someone.
00:20:53Someone I can't forget.
00:20:55My perfume costs three silver coins.
00:20:58Half the girls in the city wear it.
00:21:00I enjoy a good play in my spare time.
00:21:02I've been working on one lately.
00:21:03A husband steals his wife's inheritance, flaunts his affair.
00:21:06So the wife, to masquerade, takes a stranger to bed.
00:21:09Right under his nose.
00:21:10What do you think, my lady?
00:21:12Better than what's on at the theatre?
00:21:13You've missed your calling, General.
00:21:14Should have been a playwright.
00:21:15Put them on.
00:21:17Then I'll know.
00:21:18General, please.
00:21:20I just want to be sure.
00:21:24Is this your war room or a torture chamber?
00:21:29Both.
00:21:30Let go!
00:21:31Have you lost your mind?
00:21:35This madman.
00:21:36He can't find out.
00:21:40Watch out!
00:21:44The great general.
00:21:45Assaulting his cousin's wife and his own whole empire would be ashamed.
00:21:48Find someone else for your staff, General.
00:21:59My lady, the Allies celebrating the Northern Deal.
00:22:02He's taken Lady Lilith to the hunting lodge and chose not to wait for you.
00:22:08Fine.
00:22:09Earrings gone.
00:22:10Scars gone.
00:22:12At least tonight I get some peace.
00:22:16General!
00:22:17Are you alright?
00:22:18What happened here?
00:22:23Did you check her aunt's place?
00:22:25Find out if she was really there that night?
00:22:31It's a long way.
00:22:33My man won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest.
00:22:38Dammit!
00:22:42General, where are you going?
00:22:44To see her.
00:22:45Now.
00:22:49W.
00:22:50The Valentine crest.
00:23:03Awake?
00:23:04Good.
00:23:06I don't like him cold.
00:23:07I don't like him cold.
00:23:12Get off!
00:23:16You bitch.
00:23:17This guy said you were a handful.
00:23:19He was right.
00:23:20I like that.
00:23:24Help!
00:23:26Help!
00:23:30Stop!
00:23:32Keep yelling, sweethearts.
00:23:34There's no one here.
00:23:36Just you and me.
00:23:38Me.
00:23:40Me.
00:23:47A real lady.
00:23:49Worth every penny.
00:23:51Come here.
00:23:54Why?
00:23:55How did it come to this?
00:23:58I just wanted back what was mine.
00:24:05You dare.
00:24:14Who the hell are you?
00:24:18How did you?
00:24:27Get a carriage
00:24:28General, she's still Vadraska's wife
00:24:31Taking her like this, is that wise?
00:24:33You think that bastard treats her like a wife?
00:24:38What a pain
00:24:40First he cancels the party
00:24:41Now we're rushing back in the rain
00:24:43Clever move, my lord
00:24:45Catch the bitch red-handed
00:24:47Of course
00:24:48Even if she is pregnant, who knows whose bastard it is
00:24:51She'll never touch my inheritance
00:24:57Why have we stopped?
00:24:59Scar alfrancis
00:25:00Burglars!
00:25:09Protect the master!
00:25:15Cousin
00:25:16What are you doing here?
00:25:18Three sentences
00:25:19Explain
00:25:21I took everyone to the hunting lodge
00:25:23There must be some misunderstanding
00:25:24Two
00:25:25She's my wife
00:25:26This is a family matter, you shouldn't
00:25:28Three
00:25:29General, this is still our house
00:25:31And you're holding our mistress
00:25:33Doesn't look right, does it?
00:25:39Not right
00:25:40Melis is in charge of my northern supply lines
00:25:43She was nearly assaulted in her own home
00:25:45She was nearly assaulted in her own home
00:25:46You and Scar are suspects
00:25:47I'm taking her in for questioning
00:25:49Eric, you can't
00:25:51Edward!
00:25:52Sir!
00:26:02Drive faster!
00:26:03Get to the witch doctor, now!
00:26:14Well, well, look who's awake
00:26:16My dear wife, did you really think you could get away?
00:26:20Watching us enjoy your grandfather's fortune must break your heart
00:26:27He always be ours
00:26:29But it was always meant to be ours
00:26:39Maris, as your savior
00:26:41I think I've earned the right to know the truth about that night
00:26:45You're, you're right
00:26:56You're awake
00:26:57My clothes
00:26:58You cut your knee pretty badly fighting that bastard
00:27:01They were soaked in blood, I threw them out
00:27:10Then who changed me into this?
00:27:14The witch doctor from that day
00:27:16You know her?
00:27:18So, the woman in the mask that night
00:27:20That was you, wasn't it?
00:27:23I
00:27:28Sir, the scout has returned
00:27:29The woman from that night has been found
00:27:31It is not Lady Melris
00:27:33What?
00:27:40What did you just say?
00:27:42General, we found the masked woman from that night
00:27:45It's Lady Adele Valentine, daughter of Duke Ace
00:27:48She's right outside
00:27:57Melris?
00:27:58What on earth are you doing here?
00:28:04You two know each other
00:28:08Good day, General
00:28:09I am Adele Valentine
00:28:13Melris is my cousin
00:28:16Take them off
00:28:23There's even a family crest engraved inside the earring
00:28:27So that's why you came back to the castle looking for me
00:28:33How did you come by these?
00:28:34Our grandfather had a pair of pearl earrings
00:28:36Custom made for every girl in the Valentine family
00:28:40My cousin likely has a pair very similar to mine
00:28:42But not quite the same
00:28:43Where were you a month ago?
00:28:45I had gone to visit my cousin that day
00:28:46But as it turned out, she happened to be away at her mother's
00:28:48When I arrived, I saw the castle was hosting a masquerade ball
00:28:50And I was curious
00:28:51I heard you've been searching for the person from that
00:28:53So I finally worked up the courage to come to you
00:28:55I know this is hardly proper, but I
00:28:57I simply couldn't forget you
00:28:59How can she spew such nauseating lies without a shred of shame?
00:29:04Lady Melris
00:29:06Is what she said true?
00:29:13Lady Melris
00:29:15Is what she said true?
00:29:25Yes
00:29:26Everything Adel said is true
00:29:31General, you believe me now, don't you?
00:29:38Edward
00:29:39Sir, escort Lady Adel out
00:29:42Prepare a generous gift to thank her for her candid
00:29:45What?
00:29:46General, aren't we going to talk a little longer?
00:30:01Lord Eric
00:30:01Thank you for saving me yesterday
00:30:06I'll take my leave now
00:30:07I also hope the General can keep what happened last night to himself
00:30:11Wait
00:30:11I saved you only because I have no interest in seeing my business partner come to harm
00:30:18Business partner?
00:30:19When did I ever agree to that?
00:30:21The North cannot go a single day without grain shipments
00:30:24Scar is worse than useless
00:30:25I was counting on you from the start
00:30:27Are you really going to turn me down?
00:30:29Take it
00:30:30Come work for me
00:30:32And I can offer you compensation beyond anything you'd imagine
00:30:36No
00:30:37If I stay by his side, my belly will grow day by day
00:30:39He'll find out about the pregnancy sooner or later
00:30:40This madman will never let me go
00:30:42I appreciate the offer, my lord
00:30:43But I must declare the proposal is already in your hands
00:30:45I'm sure finding someone capable of understanding it won't be difficult
00:30:47I told you
00:30:47I have the power to help you reclaim every last piece of your grandfather's estate
00:30:50Won't you at least consider?
00:30:51Perhaps you're not aware
00:30:52But that fool Scar could never hold on to an estate of that size
00:30:56Even the royal family has their eyes on that prize now
00:30:59What do you think?
00:31:00Will Scar fight to the death to keep it
00:31:01Or will he trade your grandfather's legacy for a title
00:31:04And a promotion?
00:31:10Have you made up your mind?
00:31:12If what he says is true
00:31:14Time is running out
00:31:15I have to take this gamble
00:31:17But he can never ever find out about the child
00:31:19I have two conditions
00:31:21Name them
00:31:22First, I'll serve as your advisor for two months
00:31:24With full authority over the northern trade routes
00:31:25After two months
00:31:26Whether I succeed or fail
00:31:28You will honor your promise
00:31:29And help me reclaim my entire inheritance
00:31:30Fine
00:31:32And the second?
00:31:34I...
00:31:36I'd like to receive part of my payment in advance
00:31:38To purchase a residence
00:31:39Because of Scar?
00:31:41You've seen it yourself
00:31:42That scum would do anything for money
00:31:44I need somewhere safe
00:31:47Scar and his mistress have already been thrown into the dungeon
00:31:50On suspicion of treason and collying with the enemy
00:31:52You... when did you...
00:31:53While you were unconscious
00:31:54And I've also had Edward replace every last guard at your castle
00:31:58He had everything set in motion long before I woke up
00:32:01Step by step he's been backing me into a corner
00:32:03What a ruthless calculating bastard
00:32:07You have my gratitude, General
00:32:09For all the trouble you've gone to
00:32:13Melris
00:32:14Just how long do you think you can keep running from me?
00:32:22Melris!
00:32:22What were you doing coming out of General Eric's estate today?
00:32:25And wearing his shirt no less
00:32:27Am I required to report my whereabouts to you?
00:32:29You don't have to report anything to me
00:32:30But you're a married woman spending the night in another man's house
00:32:33Have you no shame?
00:32:34Aren't you worried about dragging the Valentine name through the mud?
00:32:36General Eric is Scar's cousin
00:32:38I call him my brother-in-law
00:32:39What's wrong with visiting family?
00:32:40Forget it
00:32:41I didn't come here to argue
00:32:41I just wanted to remind you
00:32:42You're already married
00:32:43So the woman General Eric has been searching for
00:32:45All across the city can only be me
00:32:47After all, you didn't come to my house that night, did you?
00:32:49I trust you know exactly what to do, my dear cousin
00:32:50I know you envy me
00:32:51Being the woman who'll soon be at General Eric's side
00:32:54Not like you
00:32:55Your mother died young
00:32:56And if Grandfather hadn't gone see me
00:32:58And left you a scrap of the estate
00:32:59Even Scar would have been out of your league
00:33:01So now that I've got something on you
00:33:02You'd better fall in line
00:33:04You dare hit me?
00:33:05I'll help you
00:33:06But insulting Grandfather, that you deserved
00:33:09And one more thing
00:33:10My parents may have died young
00:33:12But they did teach me one lesson
00:33:14Do not provoke me
00:33:15And I will not provoke you
00:33:16But if you do provoke me
00:33:18I will return it a hundredfold
00:33:21Starting tomorrow
00:33:22I'll use my knee injury as an excuse
00:33:24I'll tell Eric I can't travel
00:33:25So he'll have to come here for our discussions
00:33:29When that happens
00:33:30You can seize the opportunity yourself
00:33:33Since when are you so generous?
00:33:35I need someone to distract him
00:33:36You need a chance to get close to him
00:33:38We each get what we want
00:33:40You'd better mean what you say
00:33:43Your vanity dear cousin
00:33:45Has just done me an enormous favour
00:33:54Two months
00:33:55The northern route must be solid
00:33:57How much does your garrison need for spring?
00:34:00It's still winter
00:34:01Why ask that now?
00:34:04To be prepared
00:34:05Spring floods are coming
00:34:07Every foot the river rises
00:34:08The supply boats draw one less foot
00:34:11One delay
00:34:12And the northern forts go hungry for three days
00:34:17Why are you here?
00:34:18My cousin asked me to stay
00:34:19So I did
00:34:21I heard you talking about supplies
00:34:23Grandfather taught me a thing or two
00:34:25Hope you don't mind
00:34:26If you have something useful to say
00:34:28Say it
00:34:31Then I'll be bold
00:34:32About the northern route
00:34:34There are only three routes
00:34:35She stayed up all night memorising my plan
00:34:37Word for word
00:34:39But is he really that attractive?
00:34:40That road is safest
00:34:41But the terrain is rough
00:34:43So the caravans can load at the eastern waterway
00:34:45That way
00:34:46The relay stations won't be overwhelmed
00:34:52Just some thoughts, General
00:34:54Don't laugh at me
00:34:58Seems the Valiant family has more than one businesswoman
00:35:02You're too kind, General
00:35:04I just read a few books
00:35:05Nothing like my cousin
00:35:09Lady Melris
00:35:14Did you arrange Lady Adele for me?
00:35:16As a surprise?
00:35:20Of course not
00:35:22General, don't joke like that
00:35:30Just joking
00:35:31No offence, Lady Adele
00:35:41But you named three routes
00:35:43Greyport's got salt inspections
00:35:45Eastern waterways risky in spring floods
00:35:48Northern road has bandits
00:35:49If you had to pick one, which is safest?
00:35:53That sounds simple, but it's not
00:35:55Weather, manpower, military schedules
00:35:59I haven't figured it out yet
00:36:04Use all three, General
00:36:05Spread the risk
00:36:06If one fails, the others keep the supply going
00:36:10Three routes cost three times the money
00:36:12If the Empire just wanted to buy safety
00:36:14Why hire merchants just print more coin?
00:36:18Business is like war
00:36:20Memorizing tactics doesn't make you a general
00:36:23He knew
00:36:24He knew she was just reciting
00:36:27I'm sorry
00:36:28I didn't think it through
00:36:31That bitch
00:36:32She left out details on purpose
00:36:36Made me look like a fool in front of him
00:36:41Took you long enough
00:36:42You want to die?
00:36:45Sorry, my lady
00:36:46I didn't want it to be too hot
00:36:49Useless
00:36:50Get out
00:36:55You like attention?
00:36:58Fine
00:36:58I'll give you plenty
00:37:08I wasn't much help just now
00:37:10So I had the kitchen make coffee
00:37:12For the general
00:37:14And my cousin
00:37:25Cousin
00:37:26You used to love this blend as a child
00:37:28Still the same, I hope?
00:37:30She knows this coffee gives me cramps
00:37:32And I'm pregnant
00:37:34Thank you, cousin, but
00:37:36I ground the beans myself this morning
00:37:38You won't even take a sip
00:37:40After I went to all that trouble
00:37:41You misunderstand
00:37:42I just take my coffee, Weesa
00:37:44More sugar
00:37:46Fine
00:37:46I'll get you some
00:37:47Wait here
00:37:57If I spill it
00:37:59She'll say I challenge her
00:38:01But where can I pour it with him watching?
00:38:06General
00:38:09Next time you don't want something
00:38:11Knock it over
00:38:12In front of me
00:38:13You don't have to spare anyone's feelings
00:38:16Cousin
00:38:17Here's your
00:38:19General
00:38:20You drank hers too?
00:38:28Sorry
00:38:28Let me clean that up
00:38:58Scatter
00:39:28Northern road
00:39:30Coffee
00:39:30I didn't know you're a coffee
00:39:30General
00:39:31Your neck
00:39:32And your hands
00:39:35Don't scratch
00:39:38That looks like a nettle rash
00:39:40Scratching all these scars
00:39:42You put something in the coffee
00:39:44No
00:39:54I didn't know you've dirty
00:39:54I swear
00:39:55It's all
00:39:55I swear
00:39:58Get a physician
00:39:59If there's anything in that coffee that shouldn't be there
00:40:01the dungeon is the least of your worries.
00:40:03General, I was only trying to...
00:40:05Get out!
00:40:09General, until the physician arrives,
00:40:11the itching will get worse.
00:40:12Let me make you a salve.
00:40:14My grandfather taught me some remedies.
00:40:16Fine, you try.
00:40:19Quick!
00:40:20Get me plantain, calendula, rose water
00:40:22and some cold cream bakes.
00:40:24My God.
00:40:29Out. Close the door.
00:40:45General, the salve is ready.
00:40:48Then what are you waiting for?
00:40:49Come here, help me put it on.
00:40:51But you said you don't like people touching you.
00:40:54Once is strange, twice is familiar.
00:40:57Not the first time. Still shy?
00:40:59Who's shy?
00:41:09Have to admit, this body,
00:41:12those muscles,
00:41:15it's deadly.
00:41:20Had enough?
00:41:23What? I...
00:41:27Your salve works.
00:41:29Itching's almost gone.
00:41:31But your technique is terrible.
00:41:35General!
00:41:37The rash is definitely from stinging nettle,
00:41:39but the coffee is clean.
00:41:41No poison.
00:41:43What?
00:41:57General, I've tested both cups carefully.
00:42:00No poison whatsoever.
00:42:02But the handle of this cup,
00:42:05there's trace amounts of stinging nettle pulp.
00:42:10General, you heard him.
00:42:11No poison in the coffee.
00:42:12I was just trying to be nice.
00:42:13How could I possibly want to hurt you?
00:42:15It must be the kitchen staff.
00:42:16They handled wild vegetables without washing their hands.
00:42:18Then they touched the cups.
00:42:20That's possible.
00:42:21Young nettle can be boiled and eaten.
00:42:22Some servants use it as cheap greens.
00:42:24Cousin, this is your castle.
00:42:26Aren't you going to question your own servants?
00:42:28If someone tried to poison the general,
00:42:30that's a death sentence.
00:42:38The pulp is dry by now.
00:42:40No one saw her do it.
00:42:42Even if we investigate, she'll blame the kitchen.
00:42:45General, the physician already said there's no poison.
00:42:47You're not seriously hurt.
00:42:49Why don't we leave it here?
00:42:50Otherwise, someone might use this to sow discord in the household.
00:42:54Cousin!
00:42:55Are you still accusing me?
00:42:59Just thinking out loud.
00:43:01Don't read too much into it, cousin.
00:43:06My lady!
00:43:07Duke Iles has arrived!
00:43:12Oh, Duke Iles!
00:43:14Father!
00:43:17My dear girl, don't cry.
00:43:19Tell me, who made you cry?
00:43:21Father, someone tried to say I poisoned General Eric's coffee.
00:43:24Eric!
00:43:24My daughter is spoiled but never dare poison anyone.
00:43:27This must be a misunderstanding.
00:43:29Don't you agree?
00:43:34Same Valentine blood.
00:43:37How can they be so different?
00:43:40Duke, don't worry.
00:43:41This happened in Lady Melris's castle.
00:43:43She's not pressing charges.
00:43:44Neither am I.
00:43:46Good.
00:43:47A misunderstanding, then.
00:43:49Let's move on.
00:43:50No!
00:43:51We can't just let this go.
00:43:53Her servants must be the ones who did this.
00:43:55We should question every single one of them.
00:43:57Shut your mouth, Adele!
00:43:59If you want Eric, don't act like a fool in front of him.
00:44:02Know when to stop.
00:44:04Understand?
00:44:06General, I'm also here on the Emperor's orders.
00:44:08He's concerned.
00:44:09You locked up Vanland Scar for treason.
00:44:11But he's still a titled noble.
00:44:13You didn't file any paperwork with the court.
00:44:15That puts the Emperor in a difficult position.
00:44:17It's a delicate matter.
00:44:19I am a witness.
00:44:20The man who broke into my castle admitted Scar sent him to assault me.
00:44:23Lady Melris, the Emperor is sympathetic to your ordeal,
00:44:25but one woman's testimony isn't enough to convict a vittart.
00:44:28Besides, you're still husband and wife.
00:44:29Wouldn't it be more dignified to find a compromise?
00:44:32No compromise.
00:44:34Lady Melris, the Emperor's wish is...
00:44:36You can tell the Emperor this.
00:44:38I may be a merchant's daughter, but I won't be bullied.
00:44:40If he wants me to drop this,
00:44:41Suscar returns everything my grandfather left me,
00:44:43and he divorces me.
00:44:45That...
00:44:47I agree.
00:44:54The Valentine estate is tied to the northern supply route.
00:44:57It's a matter of imperial security.
00:44:59Scar couldn't even protect his own wife.
00:45:01How can he be trusted with such assets?
00:45:03Better put it in the right hands.
00:45:04You too.
00:45:05I'll convey your proposal to the Emperor.
00:45:09Thank you, Duke.
00:45:19Melris, you're a clever woman.
00:45:20If you help Adele marry General Eric,
00:45:22I'll put in a good word for you with the Emperor.
00:45:25You're very invested in your daughter's marriage, Duke.
00:45:27The whole city knows Eric is looking for the masked woman from that night.
00:45:30My daughter claimed it was her.
00:45:31The Duke's honor is at stake.
00:45:33So it doesn't matter who it really was.
00:45:35It has to be Adele.
00:45:37I knew you'd understand.
00:45:46After the Duke left, things were calm.
00:45:49I put everything into the Mortham supply plan.
00:46:00Less than did a month, our plan was ready.
00:46:03The first Tushed shipment was about to leave.
00:46:13Looks like the test run worked.
00:46:18Melris, I want to throw a banquet.
00:46:21A banquet?
00:46:23Who should we invite?
00:46:24You handle it.
00:46:33Who to invite?
00:46:35The Emperor hasn't agreed to my terms yet.
00:46:37He's still unhappy about Eric's actions.
00:46:39If I push too hard, it might backfire.
00:46:47I'll need the Duke to speak on my behalf.
00:46:53Beth?
00:46:55My lady, what do you need?
00:47:01Deliver this to Duke Iles' estate.
00:47:03Put it in his hands personally.
00:47:19Sorry for the poor hospitality.
00:47:22Please forgive me.
00:47:23Lady Melris, I can hardly believe it.
00:47:26You've opened the Northern Supply Route in such a short time.
00:47:29You flatter me, my lord.
00:47:30None of this would be possible without General Eric's trust.
00:47:34And your support behind the scenes.
00:47:36Melris.
00:47:37Uncle.
00:47:38The General isn't here yet?
00:47:40He's dealing with urgent military matters.
00:47:43He asked me to open the evening in his place.
00:47:45A married woman, acting like she's the lady of the house.
00:47:49How does she have the nerve?
00:47:52General.
00:47:54The banquet has started.
00:47:55Aren't you going?
00:47:57Better to let it out here than lose control in front of everyone.
00:48:05Tonight, I want every noble in the capital to see what Melris is worth.
00:48:09The Northern Supply Plan, plus the support of the aristocracy.
00:48:12Even if the Emperor resists, he'll have to let her take back what's hers.
00:48:15General, you've gone to great lengths for her.
00:48:18She deserves it.
00:48:20General Eric is just so busy.
00:48:22He insists on doing everything himself, but he told me tonight's banquet.
00:48:27Nominally for celebration, but actually...
00:48:29Actually what, Adele?
00:48:31Don't stop there.
00:48:32Actually, it's for me.
00:48:34Is he going to propose?
00:48:36Oh, don't say that.
00:48:37But soon.
00:48:40Unlike some people, can't even keep her own husband.
00:48:43Her inheritance is slipping away.
00:48:45How pathetic.
00:48:48Same old lines.
00:48:49No imagination.
00:48:51Cousin.
00:48:51Once the General and I are engaged, do you really think you can keep hanging around him?
00:48:55A married woman?
00:48:56If that happens, I'll congratulate you.
00:48:58In another month, my partnership with the General ends.
00:49:01He'll be all yours.
00:49:02What did you say?
00:49:07Say that again.
00:49:09General, you're finally here.
00:49:16Who invited her?
00:49:27My cousin meant well.
00:49:30She wrote to me herself.
00:49:32Asked me to come.
00:49:33If I've upset the General, I'll leave.
00:49:38General, you...
00:49:43Damn it.
00:49:44He didn't even look at me.
00:49:49Why did you invite that woman?
00:49:53You said I could arrange the guest list.
00:49:55Not her!
00:49:55A liar.
00:49:57The Duke is the Emperor's right hand.
00:49:59I couldn't not invite him, and he'd bring her.
00:50:03So you sold me out to get your inheritance back?
00:50:05Yes.
00:50:06If that's how you see it.
00:50:08But do you really want the Emperor to think you're a threat?
00:50:11Distrust you?
00:50:13Even turn against you?
00:50:14Then you'd lose everything.
00:50:16Just like me.
00:50:18You're worried about me?
00:50:20I'm not.
00:50:21I just want to know how you'll help me get my inheritance back.
00:50:24The two months are almost out.
00:50:27Melris.
00:50:29Why do you keep pushing me away?
00:50:47General Eric, where did you go?
00:50:49I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:50:55Get away from me!
00:51:00Eric!
00:51:01My daughter is carrying your child.
00:51:04Is this how you treat her?
00:51:08What did you say?
00:51:18Eric!
00:51:19My daughter is pregnant with your child.
00:51:23How much more humiliation must she endure?
00:51:26Stop!
00:51:33Impossible.
00:51:35Why?
00:51:38You don't believe it?
00:51:40Dr. Sia!
00:51:46Lady Adele, if you please.
00:51:51Yes.
00:51:54Eric, let's be honest
00:51:56We both know Adele isn't a woman from that night
00:52:00But do you really want the truth to come out?
00:52:02Even if you could prove she's lying
00:52:06Would you dare?
00:52:07The Emperor himself wouldn't dare speak to me like that
00:52:10Then go ahead
00:52:10Let everyone know that Maris, a married woman, committed adultery
00:52:13She won't get her inheritance back
00:52:15She'll be lucky to stay alive
00:52:16Marry Adele
00:52:17Our houses unite
00:52:18The Emperor would welcome it
00:52:20It's best for everyone
00:52:21Even for Maris
00:52:22Fine
00:52:25Everyone
00:52:26Lady Adele's urine is pale yellow, slightly cloudy
00:52:29After standing a white precipitation forms
00:52:31This indicates pregnancy, early stage, but 70% certain
00:52:35I see
00:52:52I agree
00:52:54Two weeks from now I will marry Lady Adele
00:53:20I kept telling myself he's just a partner, a killer, a madman I should stay away from
00:53:29I hate being light
00:53:30But the memories keep coming back
00:53:32I can't stop them
00:53:36I can't believe General Eric proposed to Lady Adele tonight
00:53:41And the wedding is in two weeks
00:53:47I heard she's already pregnant
00:53:49That's why it's so rushed
00:53:50The Emperor himself
00:53:51I must remember what we gave you to her
00:53:55This is all my fault
00:53:58If I hadn't dragged him into that dance, he wouldn't have been searching for that woman
00:54:02Adele wouldn't have had a chance
00:54:04Now the Duke is threatening him
00:54:06Adele is pretending to be pregnant
00:54:08He's trapped
00:54:10You're the one I chose, Melis
00:54:11No
00:54:14I'll let you down
00:54:16My lady, you haven't eaten in two weeks
00:54:19You'll make yourself ill
00:54:23I've made up my mind
00:54:24I'm going to see Eric
00:54:26But soon
00:54:29You may have to leave this cost
00:54:31Whatever you decide, my lady
00:54:33I shouldn't know the rest
00:54:40Thank you, Paz
00:54:46This all started because of me
00:54:49Even if they call me a whore
00:54:51Even if I lose any hope of getting my inheritance back
00:54:55I have to tell him the truth
00:55:02Eric, whatever it costs me
00:55:05This time, I'll face it with you
00:55:08I won't let you carry this alone
00:55:13This isn't right
00:55:14Stop the carriage
00:55:16Why are we going this way?
00:55:19Took you long enough to notice, my lady
00:55:22You work for Adele
00:55:27The lady knew you'd go to the general
00:55:37The box fell out
00:55:38Should we get it?
00:55:39Who cares?
00:55:40The lady only wants her
00:55:44Women wants that general
00:55:46What's he got that I don't?
00:55:48The lady won't even look at me
00:55:51You?
00:55:51If anyone, it should be me
00:55:54Maybe that kid in her belly is mine
00:55:57She called me to her room plenty of times
00:56:00She called me too
00:56:01Who knows who the father really is?
00:56:05She's sleeping with her own guards?
00:56:07And she wants to marry Eric
00:56:09She's insane
00:56:17Cousin
00:56:18You slapped me before
00:56:20Now we're even
00:56:28Adele, the truth always comes out
00:56:30Keep telling yourself that
00:56:33Once the emperor proves, nothing else matters
00:56:36Oh, I have good news for you
00:56:38You should thank Eric and my father
00:56:40The emperor just signed over all the valentine property to you
00:56:46Now, what will you do to the woman who made you lose everything?
00:56:52Enjoy yourself
00:56:53I don't want anyone knowing she's here until after the wedding
00:56:57Melris
00:57:04My dear
00:57:06We meet again
00:57:08Adele told me everything
00:57:10You and Eric
00:57:12No wonder he's always protecting you
00:57:13If you're carrying his bastard, I hope it's born as mad as he is
00:57:19Mad or not
00:57:20At least it won't be a fool like you
00:57:21Used and thrown away without even knowing it
00:57:24What do you mean?
00:57:26Kill me
00:57:27And you'll hang
00:57:28I won't kill you
00:57:29I'll make you wish you were dead
00:57:31Then Adele defeat me and blames you
00:57:33You're the perfect scapegoat
00:57:36What do you think the emperor will do then?
00:57:40I've got nothing left
00:57:41I'm a dead man walking
00:57:43Taking you with me?
00:57:45Worth it!
00:57:50Damn it
00:57:50Ever since she left
00:57:53Even killing prisoners only helps for a moment now
00:57:57General
00:57:58Just need the final route map for Silverbirth
00:58:00Lady Melesh was supposed to bring it this morning
00:58:02She didn't come?
00:58:03No
00:58:03And she didn't send word either
00:58:08General!
00:58:09Please save my lady!
00:58:11What happened to her?
00:58:12She left yesterday with a box
00:58:14Said she was coming to you
00:58:16To tell you everything
00:58:18She...
00:58:21General
00:58:22Found this on the road to your estate
00:58:23Inside
00:58:24An earring
00:58:25Looks like the one lady Adele wears
00:58:28That's it
00:58:29That's the box my lady was carrying
00:58:33The road to my estate
00:58:35Also leads to Adele's villa
00:58:38Move
00:58:39Now
00:58:45Who goes there?
00:58:46This is Duke's property
00:58:54Stay outside
00:59:01Eric
00:59:02Look
00:59:02Isn't it beautiful?
00:59:06Where is Melris?
00:59:08I don't know what you're talking about
00:59:10Eric
00:59:10I'm your fiancé
00:59:11I'm carrying your child
00:59:13Why do you always think of her?
00:59:15I won't ask again
00:59:16Eric
00:59:17This is a Duke's castle
00:59:18You want to search it?
00:59:19Then follow the rules
00:59:21Hand over your sword
00:59:28That's better
00:59:29Come my dear fiancé
00:59:31Let me show you around our new home
00:59:42Ah you bitch
00:59:44Look this is the nursery
00:59:46For our child
00:59:47Do you like blue or pink?
00:59:49He'll be just as handsome as you I'm sure
00:59:56Just rats in the wine cellar
01:00:02Open that carpet
01:00:03Now
01:00:11Bitch
01:00:14Let me give you some air before you die
01:00:25Make a sound and I'll kill you now
01:00:35See?
01:00:36Nothing
01:00:36Just rats
01:00:45Light it up
01:00:48There's someone down there
01:00:49Where are they?
01:00:54Die!
01:00:57Eric
01:00:58Even if you are my fiancé
01:01:00Treating me like this
01:01:01The Emperor himself wouldn't side with you
01:01:08Help me
01:01:09Help me
01:01:11Help me
01:01:13Help me
01:01:15Help me
01:01:17Help me
01:01:17Help me
01:01:18Help me
01:01:19It's wood
01:01:20It's wood
01:01:20Eric
01:01:22Melis is a married woman
01:01:24Going crazy over her
01:01:29Eric
01:01:30The whole Empire will laugh at you
01:01:32For taking Saka's leftovers
01:01:48Melis
01:01:50Eric
01:01:59Watch out
01:02:00Scott's still here
01:02:06Cousin
01:02:06You really can't stay away from this whore, can you?
01:02:12You pathetic fool
01:02:14Pointing a knife at me
01:02:16Pointing a knife at me
01:02:18Still looking down on me
01:02:20After I defeat you
01:02:22I'll have my fun with her
01:02:24Then she's dead too
01:02:25Enough talk
01:02:30Catch Eric
01:02:37Shut up, bitch
01:02:43Cousin
01:02:43You're a fool
01:02:45Throwing your life away for a woman
01:03:01No, don't kill me
01:03:02Cousin
01:03:03We're family
01:03:04Think of your aunt
01:03:06Get out
01:03:08You're not worth the effort
01:03:12Look out
01:03:14Wait
01:03:22Zelda
01:03:24But you are
01:03:26It's fine
01:03:27It doesn't hurt
01:03:39Thank God
01:03:39Thank God
01:03:40You're alive
01:03:41You idiot
01:03:42Why do you always show up when I need you?
01:03:45You kept pushing me away
01:03:47But after I took you from Ska that night
01:03:50I knew it was you
01:03:54How?
01:03:54No
01:03:55Because you're different
01:03:56No
01:03:58I won the war in the north
01:04:01But my regiment, Crimson Raven, was wiped out
01:04:06Since that day, I've never really left that battlefield
01:04:13Everyone
01:04:14Everyone
01:04:15And everything
01:04:15Will rot
01:04:17In my eyes
01:04:22You that night
01:04:31Of course
01:04:32Of course killing those prisoners helps too
01:04:33Revenge for my men
01:04:35The vision stopped for a while
01:04:37The rumors
01:04:38They said you kill for fun
01:04:40It's because of this
01:04:42They had my brother's blood on their hands
01:04:44They deserve to die
01:04:46I hid from you because I thought you were a monster
01:04:50Maybe I am
01:04:51But if I hadn't met you that night
01:04:53My world would be nothing but hell
01:05:02You've suffered enough
01:05:09My dear son-in-law
01:05:11The wedding is about to start
01:05:13And here you are hiding in a cellar
01:05:15With another man's wife
01:05:16How unbecoming
01:05:22Duke, is this your wedding party or a coup?
01:05:26What do you think, General?
01:05:29The Emperor himself is officiating
01:05:32Only you could draw him here
01:05:34Your target is the Emperor?
01:05:36Two choices
01:05:38Put on the suit
01:05:39Marry my daughter
01:05:41I promise Lady Melris will live
01:05:45Or you both die here
01:05:47Fine
01:05:48But you swear she won't be harmed
01:05:49Of course
01:05:52Take the groom to change
01:06:00Get rid of the woman
01:06:01Cleanly
01:06:11Sorry my lady
01:06:12Nothing personal
01:06:14You're just in the way
01:06:15You're just in the way
01:06:30Sorry my lady, nothing personal
01:06:32The general had me wait outside the castle
01:06:33The general had me wait outside the castle
01:06:34He guessed something like this might happen
01:06:41I won't kill you
01:06:44But at the wedding
01:06:44In front of the Emperor
01:06:46You'll say what you said in the carriage
01:06:49Every word
01:06:50Lady Adele will have our heads
01:06:52She was going to kill you anyway
01:06:54After I'm dead
01:06:55Would she leave two witnesses alive?
01:06:58Fine
01:07:00Fine
01:07:02Time is short, Edward
01:07:03Split up, you take them to the Imperial Guard
01:07:05Wait outside the chapel
01:07:06I'll go ahead
01:07:06My lady, that's too dangerous
01:07:07If the general finds out
01:07:23These ceremonial guards are wearing battle armor
01:07:25The Duke's men
01:07:28Erik
01:07:29Are you unwell?
01:07:34Your majesty
01:07:35The general is merely tired
01:07:37Wedding nerves, perhaps
01:07:40Remember, Mellis is still in my hands
01:07:43Ruin this wedding
01:07:44She won't see tomorrow
01:07:47General Erik Rosenheit
01:07:50Do you take Lady Adele to be your wedded wife?
01:07:53To have and to hold?
01:07:54He does not!
01:08:09Who is that?
01:08:11How dare they interrupt the wedding in front of his majesty?
01:08:21Sorry Lady Adele
01:08:23He's already taken
01:08:28Who are you?
01:08:29How dare you?
01:08:31Guards!
01:08:32Remove this woman!
01:08:35Impressive
01:08:37You've saved me enough times
01:08:39Let me save you for once
01:08:45Adele
01:08:46Erik doesn't belong to you
01:08:48No, it's you!
01:08:49The whore
01:08:50Come to steal another woman's wedding?
01:08:51Erik, come here
01:08:52I am the one you're looking for
01:08:53I'm carrying your child
01:08:54Lie often enough and you start to believe it yourself
01:08:58Lady Adele was never at that massacre
01:09:00Who is that?
01:09:00She lied
01:09:01She forced me to cover for her because my aunt had something on me
01:09:04That's how she fooled everyone
01:09:06Even the general
01:09:06Lies!
01:09:07You have an earring! So do I!
01:09:09That proves nothing!
01:09:10And I'm pregnant with the general's child
01:09:12But that no one can deny
01:09:16Really?
01:09:19You have an earring
01:09:20You have an earring
01:09:22In front of his majesty and the court
01:09:24Tell us
01:09:25Who really fathered Lady Adele's child?
01:09:30It was me! No him!
01:09:32Your majesty! Spare us!
01:09:33She called both of us to her chambers
01:09:35We don't know whose it is!
01:09:40Duke Isles!
01:09:41This is the daughter you raised
01:09:43How much else have you been hiding from me?
01:09:44My daughter just wanted to marry
01:09:46What harm was there?
01:09:47But since you're all so eager to humiliate us
01:09:49Your majesty!
01:09:50Let's continue the celebration
01:09:52Since my daughter's wedding is off
01:09:53How about a coronation instead?
01:09:58Your majesty
01:10:01You trusted that mad dog from the north too much
01:10:04The capital's finances
01:10:06The noble marriages
01:10:06The palace defences
01:10:07Who controls all of it?
01:10:10My house
01:10:11This is treason!
01:10:13History is written by the victor
01:10:15I wanted to use the marriage to control the general
01:10:18Take my time
01:10:18The plans change
01:10:21You think you can protect anyone?
01:10:39Lady Malice already won the imperial guard
01:10:41Your own men are on their way!
01:10:47Oh you're on their way!
01:10:58Oh you're going to take my time
01:11:01Oh you're on your side!
01:11:06Oh my god!
01:11:09Oh my god!
01:11:09Aaaaaah!
01:11:09Ouuuuh!
01:11:10abdos
01:11:11I wear a mask
01:11:12I wear a mask
01:11:13and I wear a mask
01:11:13Aaaaah!
01:11:13ARREST THEM! EVERY LAST ONE OF THE TRAITORS!
01:11:19I should be the one standing beside him.
01:11:22It's all because of you, Elise.
01:11:26DIE, BITCH!
01:11:39ERIC!
01:11:45The bride... should have been... me.
01:11:55ERIC! ERIC!
01:12:00ERIC!
01:12:09The General has a strong constitution. He'll live.
01:12:12But he needs months of rest. The wounds are deep.
01:12:18Why did you have to be so stupid?
01:12:21Throwing yourself in front of a knife for me?
01:12:29You even cry beautifully.
01:12:31You're awake! Stop joking at a time like this!
01:12:33I'm here.
01:12:37I'm not afraid to die. The only thing I'm afraid of is you ignoring me.
01:12:42If you ever throw yourself in front of a knife, again, and I really will ignore you.
01:12:46Lois, will you marry me?
01:12:57Yes. I'll marry you.
01:13:00You said it. No taking it back.
01:13:03But after I interrupted the wedding, everyone knows I slept with you while I was still married.
01:13:08The Emperor doesn't approve of me. I'm afraid...
01:13:11As long... as you're willing, nothing else matters.
01:13:13As long as you're willing, nothing else matters.
01:13:19As long as you're willing, nothing else matters.
01:13:45I'm pregnant, too.
01:13:48What did you just say?
01:13:50I said I'm pregnant.
01:13:52Yours.
01:13:54How long?
01:13:55Since that first night.
01:13:57That's my boy.
01:13:59Why didn't you tell me sooner?
01:14:00I was afraid you'd think I used you.
01:14:03That I just wanted your seed.
01:14:05Idiot.
01:14:07My child.
01:14:09I'll raise him myself.
01:14:12Then you'd better get well soon.
01:14:14For him, I'll be out of bed tomorrow.
01:14:19Don't be silly.
01:14:20The witch doctor said months of rest.
01:14:23Then you stay with me.
01:14:27All right.
01:14:29All right.
01:14:31Stay with me.
01:14:32Bye-bye.
01:14:32All right.
01:14:33All right.
01:14:33All right.
