Short filmTranscript
00:00:00In a time before this, I saw a land divided, its king dying, and its people tired of war.
00:00:18Its dukes, lords, and warrior knights, all searching desperately for peace.
00:00:29Following the ancient law, it was decreed that on the death of the old king, the virgin
00:00:37daughters of each warring lord and lady would come to the forest of the sacred cave before
00:00:47the first snows fell.
00:00:50There, a wife for the king's son would be chosen by the high priestess of Mithras, keeper
00:00:58of the sun.
00:01:02According to time-honored ritual, each of you shall be cleansed of evil, and from that
00:01:13moment on, you are consecrated twofold.
00:01:19Once to the king, for who you may be chosen to marry, and once to me, for I will now
00:01:30be your sacred guardian, until the new king's bride is chosen.
00:01:44The ritual has ended.
00:01:48You are now consecrated to the king as if each of you was his wife.
00:01:53I will pray for your guidance.
00:01:56Soon the king's delegation will arrive and take back the chosen one to be wed.
00:02:04You will pray as well.
00:02:06Pray to the old gods and the new.
00:02:12Pray for the king who was once a prince, and the one woman among you who shall become
00:02:19his queen, and the others his court.
00:03:12Give me the power to keep them safe during this time of their consecration, for these
00:03:29are dark and difficult times.
00:03:33One shall be a queen, and the rest will be her court, and by your decree, then peace
00:03:41will rule the land.
00:04:41This is for my fiefdom.
00:05:11Sheera!
00:05:23Sheera!
00:05:36Sheera!
00:05:38Sheera!
00:06:05Sheera!
00:06:35Sheera!
00:07:06Rest, my child.
00:07:12Go to the gods in peace now.
00:07:16I will find your companions and see them safe, I promise you.
00:07:35Sheera!
00:08:05Sheera!
00:08:35King's bastard.
00:09:01There is no need for any of you to bow.
00:09:16I am not your better.
00:09:17Perhaps not our better, but our only hope.
00:09:22Unless the gods have deserted us as well as the king.
00:09:27We are united by our common fate.
00:09:30Each one of us has lost a daughter, and with violence.
00:09:35Lord Roland's daughter killed.
00:09:38There was no reason for it.
00:09:41The law is clear.
00:09:43The new king can take any one of our daughters for his bride, and he has the same right to
00:09:49choose one over another.
00:09:53Then why take all of them?
00:09:55Perhaps he intends to hold them to ransom.
00:10:00This is madness.
00:10:02The old king was a man of truth and honor.
00:10:07His heir apparently is evil to his father's good.
00:10:12He wouldn't be the first prince to turn on his king.
00:10:15We have come to you seeking answers.
00:10:18But I am a priestess of the light, not a sorcerer or a seer.
00:10:24We do not come to you for magic spells, but to claim our daughters.
00:10:43Put this on and say nothing.
00:10:54You said the king's men were seen.
00:10:58This evil is his doing.
00:11:00Of that I have no doubt.
00:11:02What would you have us do then?
00:11:04Attack the king at his castle?
00:11:06He has an army larger than all our forces put together.
00:11:09Not to mention the mine at the foot of his castle keep.
00:11:13He has enough silver to buy all the mercenaries he needs.
00:11:17There is no way for our daughters to be rescued.
00:11:22You will be rewarded for your silence.
00:11:29Or you shall be flogged if you break it.
00:11:34Or you shall be flogged if you break it.
00:12:05Men bought for money can be bribed.
00:12:08And without that mine, the king has no power.
00:12:11You intend to take it from him?
00:12:14I intend to negotiate with him first.
00:12:17Perhaps convince him of his folly.
00:12:19And how will you accomplish that?
00:12:23Set your hand and seal to a document that makes me your proxy in this affair.
00:12:28Then I will have the power of each and every one of you
00:12:32to shield me from whatever evil awaits me at the king's hand.
00:12:41Go with God and all our gratitude.
00:12:45Yes, I will.
00:13:03Who are you?
00:13:06My name is Nora, from the village of the Stone Chapel.
00:13:10No maiden?
00:13:18And certainly no princess.
00:13:22Who dressed you this way?
00:13:25I don't know her, your highness.
00:13:28I don't know her, your highness.
00:13:31But she said I would be rewarded.
00:13:34You were lied to.
00:13:37I know that now. Spare me.
00:13:40I meant no harm.
00:13:44You were wise not to try and deceive me.
00:13:48Hide her.
00:13:53The little princesses have arrived at last?
00:13:57Yes, your highness.
00:13:59And the high priestess, what of her?
00:14:03She wasn't there, your highness.
00:14:06Oh, well, I shouldn't complain.
00:14:11The eight princesses are perfect prize.
00:14:15With them and the silver from the mine,
00:14:19nothing will stand in the way of my dear brother.
00:14:23You did bring me eight, didn't you?
00:14:27Or is it only seven?
00:14:36Well, how many?
00:14:40Since this one is neither princess nor virgin.
00:14:45Seven only.
00:14:47How did you know?
00:14:50Did you really think you could fool me with your little ploy?
00:14:54What happened?
00:14:57One died, your highness.
00:14:59Died?
00:15:01Or was killed by an overzealous blade?
00:15:04Which of them was it?
00:15:06Or should I guess, Eleanor,
00:15:11Eleanor, Rowling's daughter?
00:15:16Yes, your highness.
00:15:20I thought as much.
00:15:23But your blade was too greedy.
00:15:29The fifth time that I promised you,
00:15:32you wanted it now without waiting for it
00:15:35to come to you as it should have.
00:15:38Might have.
00:15:40But will no more.
00:15:43It was an accident, your highness.
00:15:48Your dagger.
00:15:52Is this what you killed her with?
00:15:56Yes, your highness.
00:16:00Then know, it has cost you everything I promised.
00:16:07And perhaps more.
00:16:12How shall I punish you?
00:16:15Slash your pretty cheek?
00:16:19Or slice open your throat from ear to ear?
00:16:24Such is the reason why I should not do one or the other of these things.
00:16:29Or do you think I will spare you
00:16:32just because your whore of a mother whelped you from my father's seat?
00:16:37If that's your reason, think of another.
00:16:44Your thinking is far too slow.
00:16:49Count to five, or out.
00:16:52Your five last seconds of your paltry life.
00:17:00One.
00:17:02One.
00:17:04Two.
00:17:06Three.
00:17:09Four.
00:17:11Five.
00:17:13You have a reason now?
00:17:16Yes.
00:17:17Impress me.
00:17:19She was trying to escape.
00:17:22Very clever.
00:17:26It is the truth.
00:17:30One man's truth is another's lie.
00:17:34And truth or not,
00:17:37you won't see Roland's castle with your penman flying above it.
00:17:43You would steal my legacy?
00:17:45Not a legacy.
00:17:47Merely a traitor's payment.
00:17:56I could have paid a tenth as much to someone else
00:17:59to have the poison put into our father's wine.
00:18:04I offered you Roland's land from pity,
00:18:07and I take them back with spite.
00:18:10Assemble the seven in the castle.
00:18:12I will see them when I am ready.
00:18:14Yes, Your Highness.
00:18:27Impress me.
00:18:45So, this is the stuff that queens are made of.
00:18:51I don't believe it.
00:18:54My brother deserves better than any one of you for a bride.
00:19:15Narrow is the boy.
00:19:18You will breathe no air.
00:19:21I'd wait for anything on it.
00:19:25Send them all to the mine for a while.
00:19:28Break them of their royal ways.
00:19:37Except for her.
00:19:40She might do for the king.
00:19:43If for my brother, then for me.
00:19:48She had spirit in the cave.
00:19:52Perhaps she will breathe true to it.
00:19:55I'll choose the lover who first takes my honor, lady.
00:19:59Choice has nothing to do with it.
00:20:03Let her think for a while about her future,
00:20:06and then break her spirit.
00:20:09Girls!
00:20:25Oh, yes.
00:20:27My brother's wedding.
00:20:29He really will expect me to attend.
00:20:32Especially since he's about to become a father as well.
00:20:39We all meet again, you can be assured of that.
00:20:42But brotherly love and duty calls.
00:20:45So, I must be off.
00:20:52Since my soldiers' urges cannot be trusted,
00:20:55see to it that our royal honor is secured.
00:20:58But make sure they can work where they can see my riches.
00:21:08No.
00:21:38No.
00:22:08Move it.
00:22:38Oh!
00:23:08Hurry!
00:23:39Oh!
00:24:00Come on.
00:24:08Come on.
00:24:38Come on.
00:24:58Your new home, ladies.
00:25:01Get to work.
00:25:08Come on.
00:25:38Come on.
00:26:08Come on.
00:26:39Come on.
00:26:52Get on with it.
00:26:56Who gives this woman into marriage?
00:27:00I do, her father.
00:27:03And do you give her willingly?
00:27:08Of course he does.
00:27:11Doesn't Caroline look lovely?
00:27:13Already heavy with a king's child.
00:27:16This is blasphemy.
00:27:18Don't be silly, old man.
00:27:21We have a new god now.
00:27:24He forgives everything for a few mumbled prayers.
00:27:28Very accommodating.
00:27:31Get it done.
00:27:34In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
00:27:39I make two of one, bound by love until death.
00:27:45What is his shall be yours.
00:27:48What is yours shall be his.
00:27:52Rise, King Alexander, and kiss your bride.
00:28:04A bit late for that, don't you think?
00:28:08But I like the part about what is yours shall be his, don't you?
00:28:14Father!
00:28:16Help me!
00:28:18Help me!
00:28:20Sadly, your father is dead.
00:28:27Your father is dead.
00:28:34Of course, now that you are married to my brother,
00:28:38the child you are carrying becomes the new duke.
00:29:27State your business.
00:29:30Stand aside.
00:29:32My business is with the king, not you.
00:29:36Pass.
00:29:50What's your business, woman?
00:29:53Be more careful how you speak to a high priestess of Mithras.
00:29:57Now let me pass.
00:29:59I cannot be held responsible for my actions when I am angry,
00:30:03and I am getting angrier by the minute.
00:30:06Pass, then.
00:30:23Pass.
00:30:53Pass.
00:31:07I need more of a challenge than he can offer.
00:31:10Bring me someone fresh.
00:31:24The crown princess Brianna bids you wait.
00:31:27I am here to see the king, not his sister.
00:31:31He has not been well of late.
00:31:35I see.
00:31:37Well, then I suppose Brianna will have to do.
00:31:40Please wait.
00:31:42I will come for you.
00:31:54Pass.
00:32:09Tell her I have no interest in Mithras or any other god.
00:32:13Yes.
00:32:18Sealed by all of them?
00:32:20Yes.
00:32:21Tell her to wait.
00:32:23I must have time to think.
00:32:25Yes, your highness.
00:32:38My audience with Brianna?
00:32:41Her highness' time is valuable.
00:32:45Brianna is a spoiled child. She always has been.
00:32:49You speak that way of the king's sister?
00:32:53False titles do not impress me.
00:32:56I will wait five minutes more and no longer.
00:32:59Now go tell her.
00:33:19You fight well. I could use more like you.
00:34:19Next.
00:35:49Yes.
00:36:07Next one.
00:36:19Next one.
00:36:49Next one.
00:37:11Enough.
00:37:19Enough.
00:37:49Enough.
00:38:19Enough.
00:38:50The mage appears.
00:38:57I am no mage, as you well know.
00:39:00And what is the meaning of the slaughter?
00:39:03Not slaughter at all.
00:39:05Fair fights.
00:39:07Each and every one.
00:39:10Your sword is edged. It is not dulled for practice.
00:39:16In a real battle, would my enemy carry a blunted blade?
00:39:21I think not.
00:39:24I prefer my opponents alive and bleeding.
00:39:28Even when it is only to hone my skills.
00:39:38What about you?
00:39:41I am not here to fight.
00:39:43I am here to see your brother, the king.
00:39:47He is not himself these days, as you have been told.
00:39:52But I deal with most of his affairs.
00:39:56Including hospitality for his guests.
00:40:00Especially important ones like yourself.
00:40:05I still wish to see him as soon as possible.
00:40:09Of course.
00:40:13But not before you washed away the dust from your long journey.
00:40:18And slacked your thirst.
00:40:21No.
00:40:43No, please.
00:40:51No.
00:40:59You could have been a princess and bear the royal children for my fiefdom.
00:41:05But instead, you betrayed me.
00:41:10You cost me everything.
00:41:21No.
00:41:36The Lady Marilla promised I would be free.
00:41:41She lies. Almost as much as I do.
00:41:51No.
00:42:21Now, I have a real princess to educate.
00:42:51No.
00:43:22You take your ease with the sound of the lash so near.
00:43:27I find it rather comforting.
00:43:30Discipline is the key to almost everything in this world.
00:43:35Love and hate.
00:43:38Peace and love.
00:43:47What is this madness?
00:43:49This woman is of royal birth.
00:43:52You cannot treat her in this way.
00:43:54I can treat her any way I see fit.
00:43:58But why? What crimes has she committed?
00:44:02A serious one.
00:44:04As I am sure you will agree.
00:44:07She refuses to marry my brother.
00:44:10If so, he should have no difficulty choosing another from the seven princesses he took by force.
00:44:17His taking of all seven young ladies is only prudent as evidenced by this willful creature.
00:44:26It is his right to choose a wife from the pantheon of lords.
00:44:31Not force her to his bidding.
00:44:34And by all the laws, she has the right to reject whomever she pleases.
00:44:40Laws change.
00:44:44She should be privileged to become my brother's queen.
00:44:48And her rejection of him is an attack on the realm.
00:44:52That can only be considered treasonous.
00:44:55She is lucky to be alive when it comes to that.
00:45:00Others before her have died for less.
00:45:04I cannot endure this any longer.
00:45:07You have betrayed the covenant agreed to by the old king.
00:45:10And taken the princesses against their will.
00:45:13Even kings are not above the law.
00:45:16He will have to answer for this.
00:45:19And so shall you.
00:45:21Now take me to your brother.
00:45:32If that is what you wish.
00:45:36Clean her up.
00:45:38And bring her.
00:46:05Move it!
00:46:35Believe me.
00:47:02I have gone to great lengths to ensure that their virtue remains intact.
00:47:09There will be no question of whose child the kings choose bears.
00:47:15This goes against all the laws.
00:47:18Let alone simple decency.
00:47:21These women are little more than slaves.
00:47:27This is the royal mine.
00:47:29They are royal maidens.
00:47:32I see no contradiction.
00:47:35Move it!
00:47:59Move it!
00:48:29Move it!
00:48:59Move it!
00:49:06Move it!
00:49:20The lazy ones.
00:49:29The lazy ones.
00:49:32It is unseemly not to bow before your king, my lady.
00:50:02High priestess of Mithras, or not?
00:50:09This is the king?
00:50:12None other.
00:50:14Alexander I.
00:50:18Master of all his surveys.
00:50:22King of the underworld.
00:50:24Why do you have him in this terrible place?
00:50:27For his own safety.
00:50:30You have been told he is not well.
00:50:33And down here he is protected from all manner of dangers.
00:50:38Assassins.
00:50:40Supplicants.
00:50:42Poison in his food.
00:50:45Can he speak?
00:50:48He mumbles mostly.
00:50:51I seem to be the only one who understands him.
00:50:55How fortunate for him to have such an able translator.
00:51:01I do what I can.
00:51:04His condition is a secret?
00:51:08And it shall remain one.
00:51:11This is monstrous.
00:51:13I cannot allow this to continue.
00:51:15I will not be allowed to stop it.
00:51:32I cannot have you or your gods interfering with my plans.
00:51:37The world is round, Rihanna.
00:51:39And the sun comes round like a wheel.
00:51:43Time will come.
00:51:45It already has.
00:51:47Put her to the winch.
00:51:50Perhaps her gods will give her extra strength.
00:52:13No!
00:52:24Get him ready.
00:52:36Let her join with my brother.
00:52:39We need another heir.
00:52:44No.
00:52:47No.
00:52:56No.
00:53:11By the red and the white.
00:53:15The black and the light.
00:53:20May all the gods, old and new,
00:53:24accept this woman of sin into their midst.
00:53:36Once a virgin.
00:53:39Then a whore.
00:53:43Mated to a king.
00:53:46Mother of a king.
00:53:50Killed for a king.
00:54:13Please.
00:54:28As sister to Alexander
00:54:32and regent to this woman's child by him,
00:54:36I hereby proclaim position
00:54:39of the kingdom of Caer Paravel
00:54:43and all of the Western Sea.
00:54:47If there is anyone present who contests my claim,
00:54:52let him speak now
00:54:55or forever keep his silence.
00:55:10And the claim is without dispute.
00:55:14Let it be written.
00:55:16Let it be known.
00:55:18So be it.
00:55:20Forevermore.
00:55:29Have no fear, my little lady.
00:55:33I'll be a proper mother to your little child.
00:55:39And treat the little duke's lands
00:55:44as though they were my very own.
00:55:51I will be a proper mother to each and every one
00:55:54of my brother's children.
00:56:00Come with me, my little baby.
00:56:08Come.
00:56:38Come.
00:56:40Come.
00:57:06Not working?
00:57:08Not for you, Brianna.
00:57:11Then we shall see.
00:57:38No.
00:58:08No.
00:58:39No.
00:58:59Do your duty, sweet princess.
00:59:04I'm with the king what the queen cannot.
00:59:08And the king will not,
00:59:11no matter what manner of drugs I give him.
00:59:16All the silver in the world
00:59:18can't buy me the one thing she cannot have.
00:59:25How sad for the queen.
00:59:28Even sadder for you.
00:59:33Come back to her
00:59:35until we see the king's paltry gift has caught in your belly.
00:59:40Especially since he is now a widower once again.
00:59:45A widower?
00:59:47Was he married?
00:59:49Indeed so.
00:59:51To Caroline of Caer Paraval.
00:59:54Alas, she died giving birth,
00:59:58as you will.
01:00:03I have more important things to do than gossip with princesses.
01:00:08Take her.
01:00:33Six?
01:00:36That's all you can dredge up?
01:00:40The law says you can take up to six.
01:00:44I can't.
01:00:46I have to go.
01:00:48I can't.
01:00:50I can't.
01:00:52I can't.
01:00:54I can't.
01:00:56I can't.
01:00:58I can't.
01:01:00I can't.
01:01:02It says you can take a tenth of everything,
01:01:05including their daughters.
01:01:09You take the tax four times a year now instead of only once.
01:01:14There are a few things left to take.
01:01:17Then let's take them.
01:01:32TENTH DAY
01:02:03Are there any maidens among them?
01:02:09Answer her!
01:02:11Yes, yes.
01:02:33TENTH DAY
01:02:40Great High Priestess, transform into a slave.
01:02:45There's magic for you.
01:02:48You have tied your fate to evil, killed your soul for it.
01:02:53An evil fate begets an evil end.
01:02:56Believe me.
01:02:58To hell with you and your empty curses.
01:03:01I've tied my fate to power.
01:03:04Better than to your old gods.
01:03:07Any god is better than the devil.
01:03:10Your words are holy, Priestess.
01:03:14With the king's wealth, this kingdom increases tenfold.
01:03:19And when his death comes,
01:03:22I shall rule it with an iron fist.
01:03:31TENTH DAY
01:04:02TENTH DAY
01:04:15You needn't be afraid.
01:04:24Do you feel it in you?
01:04:28The pulse of my brother's seed.
01:04:32From virgins white to the red of life.
01:04:37A prince within you?
01:04:40I do not know, my lady.
01:04:43And if I would, you'd be the last to know.
01:04:47Careful.
01:04:50There are six others to choose from.
01:04:54Live without your lands or your wealth.
01:05:05Your father is Baron of Tanneth, is that not so?
01:05:10And the Lord of Sandhya as well, since his uncle's death.
01:05:14Excellent.
01:05:17How long has the king been in such distress?
01:05:23He has good days and bad days.
01:05:29Today he was not at his best.
01:05:34Am I really supposed to rule with him in such a condition?
01:05:38Perhaps, in time.
01:05:42But we must ensure that you are with the child.
01:05:47And if I am?
01:05:51Then he can be his rightful queen.
01:05:56Even me alone?
01:05:59As you wish.
01:06:02But you will spend your confinement in the mines.
01:06:06Would you do that to a royal heir?
01:06:10You think a great deal of yourself, princess.
01:06:14You forget I have enough like you to breed an army of heirs.
01:06:20Bring her back to the mine.
01:06:24And see to it that she works hardest of them all.
01:06:50Prepare her.
01:06:54What a lovely maiden.
01:07:06I hate maidens.
01:07:19I hate maidens.
01:07:49Come on!
01:08:19Get off the horse!
01:08:50Go on.
01:09:04In the holy name of Mithras, you wear the red dress.
01:09:09I am the king's next bride.
01:09:14Brienne intends to break all of us to it, then dispose of us.
01:09:23Murder you?
01:09:26Yes.
01:09:28She has already done it once to get a line of yellow.
01:09:31And will be the next time.
01:09:33Then you must escape, and the king with you.
01:09:36Is it possible?
01:09:38Silas!
01:09:41Silas!
01:10:11Help me with him.
01:10:24He defiled me.
01:10:25It was never his choice.
01:10:27He was out of his right mind and not responsible for the deeds put upon him.
01:10:31Now help me or we'll all die here.
01:10:36Come.
01:10:37We must hurry now.
01:10:40The old priest's passage into the forest.
01:10:57One of them will know where they have gone.
01:11:01Have them all flogged, if that's what it takes.
01:11:09Send soldiers into the forest and check every path.
01:11:12Yes, your highness.
01:11:18I may know where they are.
01:11:29I'll get it out of you, if it takes me all night.
01:11:38Come.
01:11:54Child's treasures.
01:11:57They seem so trivial now.
01:12:00At least I remember them.
01:12:03On the way to this place.
01:12:07Who's treasure now?
01:12:10I am no king.
01:12:16I never wanted to rule with the truth be known.
01:12:20I'm not the man my father was.
01:12:25Your father was a good man, it's true.
01:12:28He spent a lifetime with the dream of creating a single realm.
01:12:32A kingdom of peace.
01:12:35For her kingdom, perhaps.
01:12:37But not for me.
01:12:43I'm ashamed of what I've done to her.
01:12:46There's no forgiving it.
01:12:52Perhaps not.
01:12:54She may already be quick with your child.
01:13:01Go give her nightmares.
01:13:17She's very beautiful.
01:13:19And brave. I've seen her courage.
01:13:23More than you've seen mine.
01:13:25The potions she fed you are beginning to lose their power.
01:13:28You sound more and more yourself.
01:13:31And what good am I to anyone?
01:13:33Myself or out of my mind.
01:13:36You are your father's son.
01:13:40Heir to his good heart and title.
01:13:42A king.
01:13:43Without a kingdom.
01:13:45Then we must take it back.
01:13:48You may already have a queen to rule it with you.
01:14:08I was having a bad dream.
01:14:11That was easy enough to tell.
01:14:15I suppose I was in it?
01:14:17No.
01:14:19But your sister was.
01:14:23I'm sorry for the dishonor I've done towards you.
01:14:27I'd rather die than have you think I was that kind of man.
01:14:33She already explained.
01:14:36Even under the circumstances.
01:14:40As king, it is your right.
01:14:42It is no man's right to dishonor a woman in such a way.
01:14:45Even a king.
01:14:47Right or not, I may be quick with your child.
01:14:52Then I shall marry you and make you my queen.
01:14:56I stole your honor.
01:14:58It is only right that I return it to you.
01:15:00We speak again of right.
01:15:02What of joy and love?
01:15:06I feel joy in your presence already.
01:15:10Who knows what time they bring.
01:15:16If we have time.
01:15:26What's wrong?
01:15:30Something is not right.
01:15:33There is danger about.
01:15:35I can taste it in the air like wood smoke from a distant fire.
01:15:39Then we should leave this place.
01:15:50So soon, brother.
01:16:03Huh?
01:16:06Huh?
01:16:28Are you really fool enough to think that I didn't know of this place?
01:16:33I followed you here on many rainy afternoon.
01:16:37Watching you play your stupid childish games.
01:16:41But now the games are over, brother.
01:16:44You bewitched me with your potions.
01:16:47Used me like some sort of bull set out to stud.
01:16:50Bull?
01:16:52More like a sheep.
01:16:54You stole my kingdom.
01:16:57Because you had no vision for it.
01:17:00You were a king only because you were a man.
01:17:03When in truth, I am the one who can lead the kingdom to greatness.
01:17:07Even though I am a woman.
01:17:09Our father knew it.
01:17:11Which is why he sued for peace with the last breath left in his body.
01:17:16He feared you, Brianna.
01:17:18He knew what you would do and how.
01:17:21He knew that you would leave a trail of blood behind you on your journey.
01:17:25Hold your thoughts, priestess.
01:17:28Or I will see you sliced into pieces small enough for the dungeon rats.
01:17:33Afraid to meet me on equal terms?
01:17:37I offered you a sword.
01:17:39You refused it.
01:17:41I would not refuse it now.
01:17:44Perhaps I will give you the chance.
01:17:48Once I have got these two safely locked away.
01:17:59Fight, you coward.
01:18:03Or I will show you your own belly on the floor.
01:18:28Ow!
01:18:58Ow!
01:19:29Ah, the lamb comes to the slaughter.
01:19:36If this is a match, then there should be a prize.
01:19:40Fair enough.
01:19:42If I take today, I will take it.
01:19:47I will take it.
01:19:49I will take it.
01:19:51I will take it.
01:19:53I will take it.
01:19:55If I take today, I will blind, hobble, and draw and quarter you
01:20:03in the castle courtyard for my army's pleasure.
01:20:07And the victory is mine.
01:20:10Then return the kingdom to its king.
01:20:14Then choose your weapon.
01:20:25Then let us begin.
01:20:55Let us begin.
01:21:26My sister is one of the best swordsmen in the realm.
01:21:30She sure doesn't stand a chance.
01:21:33What can we do?
01:21:35We can hope.
01:21:40You spoke of joy, and what did mine lead to?
01:21:44You are a king in your heart.
01:21:47And that's more than enough for me.
01:21:49And in my heart you are a queen.
01:21:55You are a queen.
01:21:57You are a queen.
01:21:59You are a queen.
01:22:01You are a queen.
01:22:03You are a queen.
01:22:05You are a queen.
01:22:07You are a queen.
01:22:09You are a queen.
01:22:11You are a queen.
01:22:13You are a queen.
01:22:15You are a queen.
01:22:17You are a queen.
01:22:19You are a queen.
01:22:21You are a queen.
01:22:23You are a queen.
01:22:54Leave us.
01:22:56Oh, the king and his mistress.
01:23:00Like true dungeon rats.
01:23:08Queen Brianna wishes you well.
01:23:11But I wish you well.
01:23:14But I wish you well.
01:23:17But I wish you well.
01:23:20But I wish you well.
01:23:22But I wish you death.
01:23:37You lash no woman now, royal or otherwise.
01:23:52You lash no woman now, royal or otherwise.
01:24:23No.
01:24:36Tell me my future, witch.
01:24:39Tell me the hell I go to.
01:24:44Brianna, there is always remorse.
01:24:48And in remorse there is forgiveness.
01:24:51I regret nothing. Do you hear me? Nothing. My brother is a weakling fool, and you are nothing but a ghost in this world. A meaningless spirit who haunts me to my grave.
01:25:13Your brother forgives you, and so do I.
01:25:17I will take your forgiveness with me to hell, and watch it burn. The kingdom is yours.
01:25:47No. The kingdom is the king's.
01:26:02Will you, King Alexander, take this woman as your wife and queen?
01:26:19How could I not? She saved my life.
01:26:29The peace is made. What will we do now?
01:26:34The time of the old gods is passing, and I think that soon I must pass with them. With the kingdom safe, I can rest for a time. And after that, who knows what great and wondrous mystery awaits.
01:26:51You may kiss the bride.
01:26:54The king and his queen!
01:27:24Hear my plea. Bring the force of your wrath into the stronghold of evil.
01:27:54Let it fall into the pits of hell from where it had ascended. Let peace be forged, and the oppressed be free. I go now to other times and other lives.
01:28:13An adventure ends. A new one begins. Farewell.
01:28:43You
