Short filmTranscript
00:10I never expected that General Fiona, who had been loyal her entire life, would be regarded as a traitor.
00:15What a tist. The glory of Snow Winter City will never be inherited by anyone again.
00:21Snow Winter City, Fiona. This is the continent of what's I transgot it?
00:34Laira! Winters! How dare you attend a funeral of this traitor!
00:39My name is Linji Lee. Half an hour ago, I was reading a western fantasy tragedy romance novel.
00:46And this man is the most hated character in it.
00:51Are you crazy? Killing off the female lead, and that damn Lucas even lives to old age.
00:57This ending is terrible, and Laira is just too pitiful. Referee from me, this book a loss awful.
01:05She actually replied. What'd she mean?
01:11As a result, I transverted into the novel and became the female lead.
01:15The protagonist, Laira, is the daughter of Snow Winter City.
01:19Two years ago, she married Prince Lucas.
01:21But this political marriage brought her nothing but endless coldness and humiliation.
01:28And then, after Lucas ascended the throne,
01:31he dispatched my mother Fiona on a campaign against the Beastmen tribe.
01:34When the army was attacked from both front and rear,
01:37he deliberately delayed sending reinforcements,
01:39leading to the deaths of 10,000 Snow Water soldiers under her command.
01:53I actually shares the novel's same emotions.
01:55Her hatred, her pain, her unwillingness.
01:57I feel I every single one of them...
02:00You're a traitor.
02:01Preserving your title as Princess Consort is already a mercy to you.
02:04Why are you still so ungrateful?
02:07Mercy?
02:08Your throne was brought with the corpses of my mother and tens of thousands of soldiers.
02:12If it weren't for them, you wouldn't even have the chance to...
02:15What did you say?
02:17Listen, Lucas.
02:18I am no longer your Princess Consort.
02:20We are enemies.
02:24Do you even know that the North has a new master now?
02:27Fiona's old forces have been brought to heel.
02:30Once you step outside, there won't be a single place left for you.
02:33Of course.
02:34And I also know what comes next.
02:36I will be locked in this castle,
02:38condemned as the daughter of a traitor.
02:41Five years later,
02:42the last loyalists of Snow Elton will risk everything to set me free.
02:46Then I will dong my armor,
02:48raise my banner,
02:49and return my revenge.
02:56In the end,
02:57I will die by your hand,
03:00Lucian, the Wolf King.
03:06Lyra, come back with me.
03:08Just admit you are wrong,
03:10and it can be over.
03:11I can still spare your life.
03:14Afraid that won't do.
03:17Like mother, like daughter.
03:19Give up any hope.
03:21I will never grant you a divorce.
03:24You will spend the rest of your life within the walls.
03:51That's...
03:52That's a summoned beast!
03:53Only a sacrifice of heart's blood can power a summoning ritual of this level.
03:58How could she possibly think?
04:00I am Lyra Winstar, Lord of Snow Winter.
04:06Even if I die with you here today, I will never be your prisoner.
04:10If you think I won't dare, then try me.
04:17Mom, we're going home.
04:21Lyra Winstar.
04:23Your Majesty, what should we do now?
04:25Shall we allow the Princess Consort to leave?
04:28Let her go.
04:29It won't last long.
04:31In time, she'll be kneeing before me, begging for my mercy.
04:46What's next?
04:47A wolf pup.
04:48Just delivered a few days ago.
04:50Nothing interesting.
04:51At best, it is just fodder for them to sharpen their claws.
05:01Come on, puppy.
05:02Beg for my mercy.
05:03And I'll grant quick death.
05:07Ungrateful.
05:09Ungrateful.
05:10Ungrateful.
05:34I will take this puppy.
05:36I will take this puppy.
05:41Winters.
05:42How could she come to a place like this?
05:43What would she even do with a wolf pup?
05:45She can't possibly keep it as some kind of pet, can she?
05:53Your Highness, it is just an ordinary beastman.
05:55Hardly worth anything.
05:57We also have lion beastmen, tiger beastmen.
05:59Each of them is a proven fighter in the arena.
06:02I came here today for only one reason.
06:05Him.
06:08Thank you, Your Highness.
06:11You little brat.
06:12Get down on your knees and greet your master.
06:15In my past life, Luke has chosen me right here.
06:18Now it's my turn.
06:20With him, I'll change everything.
06:28Can you stand?
06:34What's your name?
06:37From now on, your name is Lucian, and you belong to me.
06:44Lucian.
06:46Who would have thought a child with such innocent eyes will grow into the bloodstained wolf king in the future?
06:54Lucian, you will be the sharpest sword in my hand.
07:13He does look pitiful.
07:15According to the novel's plot, he has been locked inside the arena all his life, never once seeing the sunlight
07:20outside.
07:22Anything else you want?
07:23I can get it for you.
07:24Where are we going?
07:25Have you ever heard of snow winting?
07:27It's covered in snow all year round there.
07:30The color of rampart is ice blue.
07:33And the rooftops are always blanket with snow.
07:37There aren't many people.
07:39But everyone is loyal and brave.
07:54Follow me.
07:56I'll take you home.
08:06Welcome back, Lady Lyra.
08:08I am Matthew, the new chief of staff of Snow Winter.
08:12For now, all affairs within the castle are under my management.
08:15Matthew?
08:16So he's one of Lucas' men?
08:18You must be exhausted from the journey, my lord.
08:21I've had your chamber prepared.
08:23Allow me to escort you inside.
08:25That won't be necessary.
08:26My mother's coffin is to be laid to rest in the family cemetery.
08:29Take your men and open the gate of mausoleum.
08:31Well, General Fiona was convicted of treason.
08:34According to the law, she are not permitted to enter Snow Winter.
08:37I hope you haven't overlooked this, your highness.
08:40Oh!
08:41What the?
08:42One more word of disrespect and I will take your head.
08:45Out of my way!
08:46Who dares?
08:47Lyra Winters!
08:48You still think you're the princess consort?
08:50Let me make this clear.
08:52His majesty has already decreed that upon your entry, you are to be taken to the dungeon.
08:57Right now, you're nothing but a lamb for the slaughter.
08:59God!
08:59Seize her!
09:02Go!
09:02Smash the traitor's coffin!
09:04How dare you!
09:05Do it!
09:07Ow!
09:13Ow!
09:13My eyes!
09:17I see you.
09:19A beastman, is it?
09:20You even brought back a delightful little cuddle bug.
09:23A cub and a woman.
09:25Surely you believe you're about to shake things up around here.
09:28And what about me?
09:30Lord Edmund?
09:32I thought you'd been at the border.
09:33When did you return?
09:35The border rebellion has been surressed.
09:38I have returned to report directly to the new ruler of Snow Winter.
09:42My lady Lyra, I arrived too late.
09:46My lady Lyra, I arrived too late.
09:46I only learned of Generous Fiona's fate days ago.
09:49I was still at the border then, too far away to save her.
09:53Edmund Raynan, Lyra's childhood friend and her most loyal note.
09:56In the end, he would leave his end at Lucian's hands, sacrificing himself to provide her with time to break
10:02free from the insurgent.
10:04I know.
10:04It's not your fault.
10:06General Fiona is to be escorted into the mausoleum.
10:09Anyone who dares obstruct it is my enemy.
10:13But, royal orders...
10:15In Snow Winter, I swear my allegiance only to House Winters.
10:18Any further remarks and I shall have you return to the capital without delay.
10:27Edmund, I'm glad you're here.
10:40Lady Lyra, since your return, the king has ordered all southern trade routes sealed.
10:45Grain, cotton, medicine, everything has been banned from transport.
10:49Snow Wand can't sustain itself alone.
10:50It's always depended on trade.
10:52Without supplies from the south, next winter could bring mass casualties.
10:55Since the southern routes are restricted, we proceed west and engage in trade with the cities located there.
11:02The western wastes?
11:03That area is considered as territory of barbarians.
11:06Fragmented tribes and roaming bandits are common ace.
11:08To access those trade cities, one need to traverse indeed the beastmen territories.
11:12It's far too risky.
11:12Lucas is likely counting on us never taking that road.
11:15But right now we have no other option.
11:16In four months, once the snows have passed, I'll lead the caravan west myself.
11:19Then I have only one request.
11:21Please allow me to escort you.
11:22No matter how dangerous it is, I'll lay down my life to protect you.
11:25In the story, Edmund loves Lyra with a devotion that lasts even beyond death.
11:29Yet she never knows how to return that love.
11:31You haven't yet fully recovered and it concerns me.
11:33I also need someone to stay behind.
11:35Hold the city of Snow Hester.
11:37I understand.
11:38Don't worry.
11:39Whatever you decide, my sword will always be ready to answer your call.
11:43It's getting late.
11:43Go and rest.
11:45We can talk tomorrow.
11:55Get in there!
11:56Who do you think you are?
11:57This is not your place to decide!
11:59You little brat!
12:00Get the hell in there!
12:01If you don't, I'll toss you into the arena tomorrow.
12:16You filthy slave!
12:18How dare you bear your teeth at me!
12:20I'll beat you into until you know your place!
12:24Your... your highness!
12:25How dare you touch my...
12:27It's not entirely under our control, this creature...
12:30Well, the boy.
12:30He refused to enter the animal pen, so we had no choice but to use four.
12:33Arrange his room next to mine.
12:35From today on, no more animal pens in Snow Winter.
12:38Melt every chain, tear down every cage.
12:40No more need.
12:41But...
12:41Do I need to repeat myself?
12:47It's okay, Lucien.
12:48Don't worry.
12:51Brat!
12:51Get the hell in there!
12:53This...
12:54My fault.
12:55Stay here.
12:56I'll go get the medicine.
12:57I'm fine.
12:58Just a small wound.
13:01Kid.
13:02Don't be so stubborn.
13:03Just do as you're told.
13:14Were all these wounds...
13:15Caused in the arena?
13:19When you got hurt before...
13:21Did you just put up with it like this as well?
13:24In the arena, screaming only makes the crowd more excited.
13:27And the person who's crying will be chosen to go first.
13:30There's no room for weakness there.
13:32Will you abandon me?
13:37Why are you asking that?
13:40That man with the red hair, Edmund.
13:43He's really strong.
13:45With someone like him by your side, you won't need me anymore.
13:48So in his world, the only purpose in life is to be needed by someone.
13:54Lucien, the way you jumped in front of those people to protect me today, it really moved me.
14:00Loyalty is much more important than any kind of strength.
14:03No matter what you've experienced before, from today onward, there's no need to worry about anything.
14:07Just relax and stay with us.
14:10Before you're grown up, I'll be the one to look after you first.
14:17I'm no longer a child.
14:29Your Highness, this is a military council right now.
14:32Do you think it a bit inappropriate to bring in a beastman cub in right now?
14:36His name is Lucien, my little brother.
14:38From today on, he'll be taught how to fight and continue his education.
14:41He'll be brought up as a true winter of snowstorm.
14:43How could a lowly beastman be worthy of being as your brother?
14:46That hardly accords with Snowwing's long-standing traditions.
14:50Snowwing has never had such a rule.
14:51From this moment on, this becomes tradition.
14:54With me, this rule now exists.
14:56Everyone, please be seated.
15:02Lucien, come here.
15:09Edmund, no one in the North is as skilled with a sword as you.
15:13From now on, you will personally train Lucien in swordmanship.
15:18At your service.
15:25So this is what Lyra went all that way back to get?
15:28A worthless bit of trouble like you?
15:31You really believe you're good enough to stay by her side?
15:34All right, then. Show me what you've got.
15:36Fight me like a real man.
15:39I am not worthless.
15:53I am not worthless!
16:02Lucien.
16:04He's not just a child who needs your protection.
16:07He's a beast!
16:09He grows up quickly and could sink his teeth into you the second you let your guard down.
16:13A leopard never changes its spots.
16:15Violence is simply part of who he is.
16:17You can't tame him.
16:18Sir Edmund's right.
16:20Beastmen and humans were never intended meant to get along.
16:24So what do you propose Edmund to do?
16:26Of course.
16:28Kill him before his blood awakes.
16:30Get rid of the danger.
16:31Cut off the threat for Gust once and for all.
16:45Liar!
16:46You all claim that Beastmen can't be controlled.
16:49But when I was about to hurt him, did anyone see him try to fight back?
16:53Edmund, I've trusted you to look after him.
16:55Not so you could doubt my decision I've made.
16:57Your Highness, forgive me.
16:58I was just...
17:01I understand you're only trying to protect me.
17:04But you and Lucien, you're both like family to me.
17:06I truly hope I would never see either of you fighting each other with swords.
17:11At your Highness's command.
17:12It seems like they still haven't fully accept Lucien.
17:16If it continues later to, there might be morshing serious problems.
17:25This sword was owned by my grandfather, Edlath Winters.
17:29Sixty years ago, he disposed a tyrant's regime using this very blade,
17:33established a new king,
17:35and through his efforts,
17:37Snowington has remained safe and secure for decades.
17:40The Winter's sword is never bestowed lightly.
17:43All who assumes its custody must swear an oath
17:46to safeguard the lands and people of the North for all eternity.
17:49Lucien, if I bestow the sword upon you,
17:52will you swear here, in the presence of all those gathered,
17:54that for as long as you live,
17:56you shall never betray Snow Winton, House Wintons, or myself?
18:04Lucien?
18:08I swear, for the duration of my lifetime,
18:11that I will never betray you.
18:13Even if one day,
18:14I were to request you to harm the most noble and powerful person in the world,
18:18would you still be willing to do it?
18:19To any enemy of yours,
18:22I'll eliminate them for you.
18:26Everyone present bears witness.
18:28Lucien is now a member of House Winters.
18:30From this day forward,
18:32should anyone dare to question his status,
18:34or disfain him by alluding to Beastmen ancestry,
18:36I shall show no mercy!
18:38Power, respect,
18:40the honor of this house.
18:42Lucien, I've given you everything I can.
18:44I hope that you would never let me down.
18:52Please, your majesty,
18:53please let me go!
19:03If only that woman would ask me nicely,
19:06I need you.
19:20Get in here, damn you.
19:26No news from Snow Winter yet?
19:28Your majesty,
19:29Snow Winter stays calm.
19:30Lady Winters keeps to a self-managing city affairs
19:33with no will to negotiate.
19:35Absolutely pathetic.
19:37Does she honestly believe
19:38those pathetic handful of soldiers of hers
19:40have even a slim chance of taking me on?
19:49That's all right, Myra.
19:51We'll be together very soon.
19:58Lucas!
19:59Why do I keep dreaming of that bastard?
20:02Your highnesses!
20:03They are fighting again!
20:23I never imagined that in just six months,
20:26Lucien would be able to beat Lord Edmund so easily.
20:28He's improving much faster than I expected.
20:35Who would have imagined that this scruffy wolf cub
20:38would have grown into such a charming young man?
20:45Edmund, just a few months in
20:47and I've already crushed.
20:48Now tell me,
20:50who's worthless?
20:51Even dressed in human rags,
20:53you still carry the beast stench.
20:55Your filth blood will never be fit
20:56to touch House Winter's blade.
20:58Lucien!
21:02Lyra!
21:04Where have you been over the last two weeks?
21:06I haven't seen you at all.
21:08I've been busy with work these past few days
21:10and only just find a moment to come and see you.
21:12I didn't expect you to get better so quickly.
21:15Edmund, how do you think about his skill with a sword now?
21:18He's already much better than me at sword fighting.
21:20Spring has already come.
21:22It's time to gather the army and head west.
21:25Lucien may not be fully grown up yet,
21:27but he can already help me with his strength.
21:29Lyra, did I do well?
21:31Yeah, amazing.
21:33I'm no longer a child,
21:34so maybe next time the reward could be different.
21:37What kind of reward would you like?
21:43Remember this.
21:44This is the reward a man deserves.
21:48Zero manners, kid.
21:50Say that when you're big like Edmund, alright?
21:57Not a year I'll be taller.
21:59And a better fighter.
22:02Yeah, he can throw fists.
22:04But on the dance floor,
22:06a monkey on hot clothes.
22:09Oh, you finally picked up dancing too, huh?
22:12Do I really gotta do this fancy stuff?
22:14All you know is throwing punches,
22:16that won't cut it in the upper world.
22:19Manners is a noble's blade,
22:21and sometimes sharper than the real steel.
22:25Keep at it.
22:25I've got a meeting.
22:26Check on you later.
22:36Keep your nasty thoughts to yourself.
22:38We know that well.
22:40We're all cut from the same clothes.
22:42What clean thoughts do you have?
22:44Lyra's heart belongs to Snow Winton.
22:46She won't let anything threaten it.
22:48I'm just warning you.
22:49Watch yourself.
22:50Don't wait until she runs you through herself.
22:52Humans love to dress up their desires with pretty words.
22:57But beasts just bite down.
22:59And never lets go.
23:06About who's heading west, I want to discuss it again.
23:09Edmund.
23:09I told you.
23:11Snow Winton needs guards here.
23:12You're the one for it.
23:13I know.
23:14That's why I want you to take Philip.
23:15He's been down the western route.
23:17Knows the ropes.
23:17He'll be a big help.
23:18No.
23:19I have Lucian.
23:20That's enough.
23:21Lucian is strong.
23:23But he's a double-edged sword.
23:25He could just as easily turn on you.
23:28I thought after teaching him for so long,
23:30you dropped your grudge.
23:31I've been killing orcs since I was 16.
23:33No one knows their nature better than me.
23:35And don't forget,
23:36General Fiona died at their hands, too.
23:37I know.
23:38But Lucian is different.
23:40Liar, I've known you for years.
23:42Never seen you go to bat for anyone like this.
23:44What make him so special?
23:46Just pity?
23:47I...
23:52Young Master Lucian!
23:54Second section isn't done yet!
23:56Come back!
23:56Don't run!
23:57Leah!
23:58I don't want to learn anymore!
23:59Tell her to let me go!
24:02What's going on?
24:03Miss, I can't teach him anymore.
24:05Lucian's got zero rhythm.
24:06My feet are killing me from all this stepping.
24:09This dance is too hard.
24:10I'd rather swing a sword all day.
24:14All right, I'll teach him.
24:15You go rest now.
24:34Come here.
24:36Give me your hand.
24:38Left hand on my waist.
24:40Loosen up.
24:40This is dancing, not swordplay.
24:43Don't lock up as a plank.
24:45Lean back.
24:47Follow my steps.
24:48What are you staring at?
24:49What's your steps?
24:51You're dancing.
24:52It was also taught by Lady Kate.
24:54No, my mother.
24:55Her dancing is as good as her swordmanship.
24:57When I was little,
24:58she took me to commoners from caravans.
24:59She said she hoped I'd never have to pick up a sword.
25:02Just be a little princess, marry well,
25:03and have a happy, peaceful life.
25:09Her wish won't come to nothing.
25:11From now on, I'll protect you in her place.
25:16Come on, you.
25:18You little brat who throws a tantrum because a dance is too hard.
25:23Lucian!
25:24Stop messing around!
25:29You still think I'm a little brat now?
25:33You...
25:34Your birthday's coming.
25:36What gift do you want?
25:38Every year,
25:40my mother gave me a bouquet of pale moon orchids.
25:43This year,
25:45you give me that.
25:51Deal.
25:52Deal.
25:52Deal.
25:53Deal.
25:53Deal.
25:58My lord,
25:59a decree from the royal capital.
26:01What's on it?
26:02Eight months later is the Feast of Lords.
26:04Lucas as Lord of Snow went and invites me.
26:06The Feast of Lords?
26:07So he's recognizing you as a lord?
26:08Not so fast.
26:08This is a trap.
26:09Lucas wants to lure the lords to the capital,
26:11then strike.
26:12Then don't go!
26:13Refuse,
26:13and he'll have the perfect excuse
26:14to borrow troops from other lords.
26:16And claim that Snow Wanter disobeys the crown,
26:18then he can march an army at us.
26:19We'll have no room to maneuver.
26:21What can we do?
26:22I was going to let him savor that seat a little longer.
26:25Looks like we're moving the plan up.
26:40Some flowers, sir?
26:42Fresh from the hills.
26:43Just picked.
26:45I'll take the move.
26:46How much?
26:47Five coffees.
26:59You beasts feasting on human flesh.
27:02How dare you walk our streets?
27:05My poor Jessica.
27:07He was just 18.
27:09When they brought him back from the battlefield,
27:11not a single bone left intact.
27:13All of you deserve to die.
27:15Pay for my son!
27:24Stop it!
27:29Let her go.
27:31How dare she hurt you?
27:32I said, let her go.
27:45You're Hidnest.
27:46Your wound needs immediate treatment.
27:48I told you not to follow me.
27:49Why are you still here?
27:52Forgive me, but I cannot obey.
27:54You are the last heir of House Mordress.
27:56The last hope of our clan.
27:58I will never leave until you come back with me.
28:00Twenty years.
28:01Grey's males tearing each other apart,
28:03fighting for the throne.
28:04Humans took advantage of the mess
28:06and cook up wound shackles.
28:07They threw us in arenas like slave toys.
28:10In Sulpion's words,
28:12we need a real king
28:13to set things straight.
28:16You just want me to clean up your mess.
28:18I want nothing with that bloody throne,
28:21nor ruling anyone.
28:26Do you have feelings for Leah?
28:28If you want her,
28:29you can choose another way.
28:31Mention her name again,
28:32and I will silence you forever.
28:41If you're going to the capital,
28:42staying here is pointless for me.
28:43I'm coming with you.
28:45Fine.
28:46So be it.
28:48But in eight months,
28:49that's when our food stores
28:51will be at their lowest.
28:52The Western trade route matter
28:54must be settled before you leave.
28:55I'll send Lucian.
28:56Just him alone?
28:58Too risky.
28:58He's young, after all,
28:59and not of our blood.
29:00I trust him.
29:09Lucian.
29:10Why do you come back so late?
29:14The market was busy,
29:16so I stayed longer.
29:26You have brought flowers.
29:27Why hide them?
29:29They got dirty on the road.
29:31I plan to buy new ones tomorrow.
29:33It is perfect, just like this.
29:36Do you know the meaning of this flower?
29:38Love and devotion.
29:39Strength and goodness.
29:41Only blooms blue
29:42if giver's heart is pure.
29:44Once it blooms...
29:46It just looks like ordinary wildflowers.
29:48You are lying to me again.
29:49You have grown up.
29:50No longer easy to fool.
29:53You have something important to tell me, right?
29:57I will attend the Lord's gathering in eight months.
29:59I leave the Western trade road all to you.
30:01I've heard about the Lord's feast.
30:03You know it's Lucas's trap.
30:05I'm going and I'm ready.
30:06He thinks he can trap me with this feast,
30:07then I'll make sure he doesn't sit easy on that throne.
30:10My mother's blood and the honor of every fallen soldier,
30:12I will ask back all.
30:14But supplies can't wait.
30:15The grain won't last the winter.
30:17Don't worry.
30:17Before winter comes,
30:19I'll bring you what you want.
30:20Lucian,
30:22snow winter stations will remember what you've done.
30:33I vowed your enemies are mine.
30:35Whatever you protect, I'll protect.
30:37Just promise you'll never forsake me.
30:40I promise.
30:41That day will never come.
30:44Business done.
30:45Now.
30:46Can I have a little more of your time?
30:48What do you want?
30:58What's the celebration?
31:00You didn't know?
31:02Every year on the Lord's birthday,
31:03the people of snow winter light these lanterns.
31:06To honor the protectors.
31:08In years past,
31:08I always spent this day with my mother.
31:11I forgot.
31:12I'm the Lord now.
31:14I didn't get you anything.
31:15I just wanted you to see
31:17how beautiful everything to protect is.
31:21I love you.
31:27Test the results of your teaching?
31:30You pick this up fast.
31:32Maybe because this time,
31:34the teacher teaches with their heart.
31:51Everything ready?
31:52We lack one last thing.
31:53Carry a token from someone dear.
31:55It will guard you home safely.
31:57That old tradition.
31:59You still believe it?
32:03The Westland is full of dangers.
32:05Always put your life first.
32:12Keep her well protected.
32:14I know my duty.
32:18Set off now!
32:35Please come back safely.
32:37Come back safely.
32:43Come back safely.
32:53Lord Valdrick of Black Serpent Island, here!
33:09Please, spare him! He's only six, can't do a thing!
33:13Back off! The palace needs attendance. You should be grateful your kid got picked.
33:20Is the palace a human devouring machine? Haven't you stuffed enough people there?
33:25Who do you think you are meddling in palace affairs? These are his majesty's orders. Just obey!
33:29Rice prices are through the roof. The folks can't even feed themselves, but the king throws feasts every day.
33:35Now you're snatching people off the streets, kids too.
33:39Tell me, does his majesty, who calls himself a father to his folks, ever give a damn about us at
33:44all?
33:45Dare you insult the king!
33:56The palace has been taking kids, around ten years old. Send yours away if you can. If not, keep them
34:03inside. Don't let them out.
34:08This is Royal Territory. No trespassers. Leave.
34:14I came for you today.
34:17You're...
34:18You're...
34:20Princess Consort.
34:24I'm not a princess anymore.
34:26Call me Lyra.
34:30The abigail tree.
34:32It's tied to the royal bloodline.
34:34I remember it fading after the old king died.
34:37Never thought I'd see it thriving again.
34:38Why aren't you at the palace to see the emperor?
34:40What brings you here?
34:43Ashni Rain.
34:44Taken in by a blacksmith as a kid.
34:46Never knew your real parents.
34:48Born with white hair, but you've always dyed it.
34:51Living in hiding all these years.
34:52Must be exhausting.
34:54How did you know that?
35:05Escape!
35:06Kill that bastard for me!
35:13I also know you hate Lucas.
35:15You've wanted to join Snow Warner for a long time.
35:18Yet there are people in this city you can't abandon.
35:21All these years, though you were poor,
35:23every coin you've earned went to helping the poor.
35:26Anyone who came to you for help, you never said no.
35:29Deep in your soul hides the heart of a king.
35:31What exactly are you trying to say?
35:35Ashni Rain.
35:36Do you want another life?
35:39A life where you don't have to hide who you are.
35:41Where everyone looks up to you instead.
35:46The Council of Kings is a century-old tradition.
35:49How dare someone be late to my first convention?
35:51Lady Lyra is new to her lordship.
35:52The journey is hard.
35:53A slight delay is forgivable.
35:54She is a traitor.
35:55Watch your tongue.
35:58I hear Lyra is rebuilding her troops and training new soldiers.
36:01She even took a stray from the arena as her brother.
36:04Yes, your majesty.
36:05Those arena trash are useless.
36:07That little wolf is nothing but a pet to her.
36:09Winters of Snow in City come!
36:19Those black-clothed people from Snowitin
36:21always look like they're attending a funeral.
36:23This unyielding pride only exists in the Winters family now.
36:29Kill before his majesty at once!
36:31Your majesty, House Winters greets you.
36:33Long live the king.
36:34It's been a while, dear Lyra.
36:35How have you been in Snowwinter this year?
36:37I live well thanks to your blessing.
36:39The starving people in barren fields
36:40make this capital look like a god for lake and wasteland.
36:43I'm glad you're doing well.
36:44I've prepared a special gift to celebrate your new status.
37:00Mother!
37:10I retrieved this traitor's body with great effort.
37:13You longed to see her, right?
37:15Tell me, what do you want?
37:18Kneel before all.
37:19Thank me for my mercy.
37:21Swear eternal loyalty to me like a dog.
37:24Fine.
37:27Perfect!
37:28Our engagement ends.
37:29I'll find you a new match.
37:32My stable master lost his wife.
37:35He needs a woman, a traitor's daughter,
37:37and matches his status.
37:41Thank you, your majesty.
37:42I accept.
37:43I accept.
37:44I will wait for you tomorrow.
37:46I want to kill that insulting bastard now!
37:49Impulsive killing brands us traitors.
37:52We came for justice, not revenge.
37:54I understand, but I cannot endure this shame.
37:57We once crowned a king, we can dethrone one.
38:00I will behead that king with my own hands.
38:05Before that,
38:06I have another secret task for you.
38:11Lately, Lucas has been snatching kids all over the city.
38:14This isn't just about recruiting servants.
38:18Find out what he's really up to.
38:21Yes.
38:25It's from the little wolf pup.
38:32Lucian made it back to Snow World.
38:34He didn't let me down.
38:37Come with the city, Lord!
38:52Philip, where's young master Lucian?
38:54Why didn't he come back with you?
38:55He's probably resting inside the castle.
38:58My poor little Lucian.
39:00He must have suffered so much.
39:03Little Lucian,
39:04When you see him now,
39:05you won't call him that anymore.
39:07No.
39:45Stop hiding.
39:46Come out.
39:47Snow Winter's caravan went through the southern territories without a single orc attack.
39:53That was you?
39:54You are our one true king, your highness.
39:57Every Grey's Movern longs for your return.
40:00Who would dare offend your authority?
40:02You sure know how to play loyal.
40:04Fine.
40:05Tomorrow, gather an elite force.
40:07You're coming with me to the capital.
40:09You're going to the capital now?
40:10For Lady Lyra?
40:12No one takes her from me.
40:14This sword,
40:15it's time it tasted some blue blood.
40:22To fight for you is the greatest honor of our lives.
40:40On this great day,
40:42you still dress like that?
40:43Trying to embarrass me on purpose?
40:46My mother hasn't gone long.
40:48Mourning is a duty.
40:50I hope your majesty can understand.
40:54Save that useless pride.
40:56The moment you stepped into this capital,
40:58your dignity became worthless.
41:03Lyra Winters,
41:05now it's time to keep your promise.
41:07Oh my goodness.
41:08Oh my goodness.
41:10Oh, my God.
41:45So, recruiting servants was just a cover.
41:49Why is he killing all these kids?
42:11Ever since I was a child, my father taught me to respect you, Winters.
42:15Listen to you.
42:17Always give in.
42:29But why?
42:31I am the King of Wollstone.
42:32Everyone was born to kneel at my feet.
42:35Respectfully.
42:36Your Majesty, the former kings built the High Kings throne together with us.
42:40They achieved much but never ruled alone.
42:41Do you really think you've done more?
42:43You're here because they pampered you, you arrogant bastards!
42:47I'm not like you.
42:49No one can boss me around!
42:53Winters.
42:54Now, let me hear your pledge.
42:59I pledge eternal loyalty to House Odrik and to the one who sits upon this throne.
43:11But only if the one on that throne is the true king.
43:17What did you say?
43:22They say House Odrik is blessed by the sun god.
43:25Wherever an Odrik watches over, crops don't fail.
43:29Famine can't touch the land.
43:31Even in the coldest winter, the earth comes alive.
43:34But look at the capital now.
43:36Failed crops.
43:37Starving people everywhere.
43:38It's becoming a dead city.
43:40The reason's simple.
43:41He's a bastard born from the Queen's Affair.
43:43Not a drop of Odrik blood runs through him.
43:45Nonsense!
43:46Lyra Winters, do you want to die?
43:48Are you trying to end up like your traitor?
43:49My mother never broke her oath.
43:51And you?
43:52You were never meant to sit on that throne.
43:55The true king has already been born in suffering.
43:59White hair?
44:00She's an Odrik?
44:01Lots of people in this city are born with white hair.
44:03What, are we letting stray white dogs claim bloodlines now?
44:07And what about this?
44:11They're alive, Derry.
44:20My mother was a palace maid.
44:21The day I was born, the former queen had her hanged.
44:24That night the palace caught fire.
44:26A servant risked his life to sneak me out.
44:28A blacksmith named Asur raised me.
44:30The dowager queen probably died without knowing
44:31that the very person she wanted dead
44:33has been living right under her nose for 20 years.
44:35The power of the Odrik white hair and the son's child.
44:39Survived, after all.
44:41Do you have any of that, Lucas?
44:43I'm the late king's only heir.
44:44His blood runs through me.
44:46You can't smear me with a few words.
44:47And even if that bitch really got that so-called power,
44:49so what?
44:50She's a lowborn bastard.
44:51She has no place in this palace.
44:53You're an idiot.
44:54Don't you get it?
44:55To those poor commoners,
44:56whose bloodlines and decrees don't matter anymore.
44:58All they're waiting for is a chance.
45:00A chance to kick a bloodthirsty tyrant like you off that throne.
45:03Ashly Rae is our true king!
45:05You bastard!
45:06You took my son!
45:07Price prices have quintafold!
45:09Half our kids have starved to death!
45:10And you feast every day?
45:12You're not our king, but a man-eating demon!
45:14When the old king was alive, we never suffered like this.
45:16This fraud doesn't deserve to sit on that throne.
45:26I never wanted this throne.
45:28I was born in the streets, raised in a blacksmith shop.
45:32I've seen more suffering than you high and mighty people could ever imagine.
45:36The throne is just a gilded cage.
45:38A seat made of bones.
45:42Ashly!
45:44I can't watch anymore.
45:46People starving.
45:47Mothers torn from their children.
45:49All their sweat and blood feeding your greed.
45:51You're not a king, but a plague.
45:53A worm.
45:53A curse on this land!
45:56Arthur Nys!
46:00The one with Odic blood is the king we swear to serve to death.
46:07Your Majesty, House Winters swears loyalty.
46:15Very well since that.
46:18I should have let them out for some fresh air a long time ago.
46:48And he says,
46:49And that's why he took those kids.
46:51And that's really easy to ride.
46:51I'll see you once more in a while.
46:51It's too realistic to you.
46:51They're blood to power this summoning circle.
46:53Dammit!
46:58Lucas, any last words?
47:01It doesn't matter if you accept.
47:04I have ways.
47:06Ways to shut up everyone who doubts me.
47:10Permanently.
47:19What's happening?
47:20Yes.
47:21This is a summoning beast.
47:31No!
47:54All soldiers, get the people out of the square.
47:57Lord's Guard, hold the perimeter.
47:59So many, where are they coming from?
48:01Now that I think about it, thanks Lyra.
48:04If you hadn't summoned that snow bear, I'd never have thought of this.
48:07Too bad your mother's blood only throws one.
48:09Me? I'm different.
48:11This city, I've got plenty of lives to burn.
48:14You monster!
48:33Lyra!
48:35Lyra!
48:43Edmund!

51:24The End
51:35Orbs? They can't get through the capital's defenses? How did you barge in?
51:45I'm sorry. I'm late.
51:51Lucian, kill him.
51:54I want his blood to honor every soul that fell here today.
51:59As you wish.
52:03I am the king of Wulston, the highest of them all.
52:07You, you can't kill me.
52:08Funny, this sword of mine specializes in killing useless kings.
52:31Lucas Odrak, usurped her, tyrant, killer of children.
52:35He is unforgivable and has been executed.
52:37His body won't enter the royal tomb.
52:39It will be cast into the river outside.
52:42General Fiona, former Lord of Snow Welter, was falsely accused.
52:46Today, her name is cleared and her honor restored.
52:55Every fallen soldier will receive hero's wreath.
52:59Their souls return home.
53:01Mother.
53:04You can finally rest.
53:08Lucian, if you hadn't shown up in time, you'd all be dead.
53:11I'll never forget that.
53:13Name your reward.
53:15I did this for her.
53:17All Greyman's, withdraw outside the city now.
53:20Not one step inside the capital.
53:25I'm sorry.
53:27I'm sorry.
53:45I'm sorry.
53:46I'm sorry.
53:50I'm sorry.
53:52I'm sorry.
53:55I'm sorry.
53:56I'm sorry.
53:57I'm sorry.
53:57I'm sorry.
