Short filmTranscript
00:00My poor sister has no talent or education. She is merely a princess in the royal household
00:09because the king pities her. She's a poor bastard, a trashy peasant, who deceives the
00:15last man who bedded her. Dirty in blood, dirty in bed.
00:22Hurt and treated as a slave by my stepfamily for nine years, my own father held me captive
00:28and hidden away from the world. Now, he introduced me as his daughter in the biggest ball of
00:34the century. But I didn't know that it was all part of a grand scheme.
00:39You insolent little girl! We gave you everything and this is how you repay us?
00:46My name is Amelia Rosalind Von Heist. It may not look like it right now, but I am the third
00:51child and youngest daughter of Matthew Von Heist, the current king of Alvania.
00:57Stepmother, I didn't do anything!
00:59You tricked your grandfather into throwing you a coronation ball! I just know it!
01:05But Queen Mila resented me.
01:08I am general of this kingdom, Matthew. You must inform me of everything the army is doing.
01:15For the last time, Antony, I'm not hiding anything from you. There is no secret mission.
01:20You're bordering on absurdity.
01:24Mila, what is the meaning of this?
01:26I saw the invitation. How could you do this? No one was to know of her, Matthew.
01:32My mother had been a maid in the palace. She had scarlet red hair and silver eyes.
01:37And the king was immediately infatuated with her.
01:40When Queen Mila learned of their relationship, my mother was kicked out of the palace.
01:48And before long, she realized that she was pregnant with me.
01:52Now, dear, there's no need to make a big fuss over such a little thing. It's merely a small party.
01:59Everyone is coming, Matthew. Who wouldn't want to catch a glimpse of the king's illegitimate daughter?
02:06Amelia! I've spent enough time locked away!
02:10The general thought it a wise idea to present her to the public. After all, she is finally of age.
02:17My mother raised me by herself. We were poor and lived simply, but we were happy.
02:22Unfortunately, it didn't last long.
02:25I was only nine years old when she got sick.
02:27Suddenly, my mother, once so vibrant and full of life, was fading away right before my eyes.
02:34That's when my father, the king, arrived.
02:37My mother begged him to take me in and raise me as his child, and he reluctantly obliged.
02:43I watched my mother draw her last breath, and my father took me away to the palace as his adopted daughter.
02:50Come, child.
02:51I don't want to go! I want to stay here with you! Please! No! No!
02:58And what about Harper and Charlotte? I mean, she doesn't belong with us! She's a...
03:04Amelia! Enough!
03:06This is Amelia's birthright. We are going through with the coronation ball.
03:13Life in the palace wasn't easy.
03:17My stepsister, Harper, loved to bully me.
03:22And my stepmother did everything in her power to make my life miserable.
03:28Meanwhile, my father was, at best, indifferent.
03:31My grandfather, General Anthony, treated me like a granddaughter, even though we weren't flesh and blood.
03:37He and my stepbrother, Theodore, were my only saving grace.
03:40Please, please, don't leave me in here again! Please, please, stop! Please!
03:45And for nine years, the people of Valvania still didn't know about the third princess.
03:50I wasn't allowed to attend parties or balls with my sister. I was simply forgotten.
03:58Oh, look at that drabby dress. We should spruce it up for you, Amelia.
04:07That's better.
04:09Then came my 18th birthday, when everything was supposed to change.
04:13It was customary for a daughter from the royal family to be presented to the public during a grand ball at the palace.
04:20All of the aristocratic families in the kingdom and nobility from neighboring countries
04:25were invited for the sole purpose of finding suitors for the royal daughter.
04:33Your Highness, the king has called for you. Are you ready?
04:38I'm so used to hand-me-downs that never fit. How do I look?
04:43Absolutely beautiful.
04:47I feel... I feel...
04:51Like the princess you've always been.
04:55From this day forward, things will be different. A new era.
05:02I'm ready.
05:09Your Majesty.
05:13You look stunning.
05:19Come, daughter. Let's not keep our guests waiting.
05:27Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you His Royal Highness King Matthew von Heist
05:32and his youngest daughter, Princess Amelia Ruslan von Heist.
05:37Everyone looked at me with shock, wonderment and even envy.
05:41I couldn't believe it. This was my first time attending a ball and I was the star of the night.
05:47She's gorgeous.
05:48That's my granddaughter.
05:50Seems as if you'll have your pick of the litter.
05:56Mother, I can't see!
05:58Out of the way, you idiots! I'm the queen!
06:03I can't believe it!
06:06She is beautiful!
06:07This is a disaster! She's ruining my life!
06:10Hush! Do not disgrace yourself!
06:13Your Majesty. Your Highness.
06:15Duke Caesar. So glad you could make it.
06:18Duke Caesar was a duke to the neighboring town of Christopher.
06:21His son, Jackson, was a rising noble in Avania.
06:24We would have come here sooner had we known you were hiding such a beautiful daughter.
06:28Simply waiting for her to come of age.
06:31Not a moment too soon.
06:32May I present to you my son, Jackson Harold Lawrence.
06:35He's a fine young lad and will be a good match for your Amelia.
06:38Your Majesty.
06:40Princess Amelia. It's a pleasure to meet you.
06:43Many young women were vying for Jackson's attention, including my stepsister, Princess Harper.
06:49Pleasure is all mine, Sir Jackson.
06:53In Avania, a gentleman greeting a lady with a kiss on the hand is interested in her, either as a friend or in a romantic way.
07:03That conniving wench! Jackson is mine!
07:06Jackson will be a court official soon. His knowledge of history and politics is simply...
07:11Duke, my daughter has just turned 18. Isn't it a bit early to be making matches?
07:16There is no time to waste when it comes to the matters at heart, Your Majesty.
07:19Just look at these two. They're right together.
07:24You must be easily swayed if within moments you are ready to propose.
07:27As a wise man, I recognize true value when I see it.
07:31And I do not intend to let it slip away from me.
07:34Well then, when it comes to matters of the heart, that is for my daughter to decide.
07:39I'm sure my Jackson is up to the challenge.
07:43Perhaps I can at least start by being your friend, Princess.
07:47Would you join me for a walk in the courtyard so we could get to know one another?
07:50Okay.
07:52I'm very impressed by your knowledge of history and politics, Princess Amelia.
07:56Thank you, Jackson. I've learned a lot during my time at the castle.
07:59While my stepmother insisted that a simple peasant's education would suffice due to my low birth,
08:05I secretly sat in on Theodore's lessons with his tutors,
08:08giving me an education as thorough as that of a crowned prince.
08:12So, once you become Duke, you will be my wife.
08:16As thorough as that of a crowned prince.
08:19So, once you become Duke, what do you hope to do first?
08:23Promise you won't laugh.
08:25I would like to do an open forum with my people to discuss pressing matters.
08:29Laugh? Jackson, are you kidding me? That's amazing!
08:32My advisors would disagree with you, Princess.
08:34I do hope to be of service to my people, not just the nobility.
08:38I think you're going to make an amazing Duke, Jackson.
08:41Thank you, Princess Amelia. You've boosted my confidence.
08:45And what about you? Princess, what do you hope to do?
08:49No one's ever asked me that before.
08:52Well, let this be your moment to dream.
08:55Before my mother died, she told me that her one wish for me was to travel.
08:59Get to know the world outside of Albania. Silly, I know.
09:03But I often think about what my mother said.
09:06That's not silly at all, Princess. I lost my mother, too, a few years ago.
09:12Everything I do is for her.
09:18Jackson! Oh, Jackson, your father is looking for you.
09:23My father? Now?
09:25Yes, he said it is urgent.
09:27Oh, OK. Right.
09:31Thank you for letting me know, Princess Harper.
09:34Princess Amelia, if you'll excuse me.
09:39Know your place, Amelia.
09:42You are just an illegitimate child, and you are no match for a future Duke like Jackson.
09:47You are not qualified to be his wife.
09:49Harper, we're just friends. It's not like that.
09:52Liar! You are a slut, just like your mother.
09:55She tempted my father and ruined my mother's life,
09:58and I will not let you do the same to Jackson and me. So stay away.
10:02Harper!
10:04Everything all right, Princess Harper?
10:06Jackson, how many times must I tell you to call me Harper? Like when we were kids.
10:10My apologies. It's not that easy.
10:12Why did you scream? Princess Amelia, what happened?
10:16I tripped and I hurt my ankle.
10:19I'm so sorry, Princess Harper. Allow me to accompany you back inside.
10:23But what about your father?
10:25He will wait. A gentleman never leaves a lady in distress.
10:28Come here.
10:32Thank God you were here, Jackson.
10:34Thank God you were here, Jackson. It must be fate.
10:39Who was I kidding? Nothing's going to change, even after tonight.
10:45It seems you are not on the best of terms with your stepsister, Princess Amelia.
10:50I am Leon Vincent Astley of Crancrest.
10:55It is a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness.
10:58The pleasure is all mine, sir.
11:01I hope I did not startle you.
11:03I simply wanted to bring you this.
11:06A blue rose? I hear these are extremely rare.
11:09Only found in the remotest parts of Crancrest.
11:12They say that the rose's beauty comes alive when you wear it.
11:20Thank you, Sir Leon. I'm honored.
11:23Dance with me.
11:25I haven't met such a persistent man before.
11:28Here.
11:30Of course not.
11:31I want to boast in front of all the men that it was me who was chosen to have the first dance with the main beauty of Ulvanya.
11:41As soon as we entered, all eyes were on us.
11:45Is that Prince Leon? They look perfect together.
11:50The chattering from the guests slowly died out. I was a little taken aback.
11:54Who is this young man who makes everyone in the ballroom get quiet?
11:58I believe you know how to waltz?
12:00Yes, but I'm not very good.
12:03Well, then allow me to take the lead, my princess.
12:11I felt euphoric.
12:13Prince Leon made me feel like we were the only two people left in the world.
12:17His eyes were captivating.
12:21Crown Prince Leon Vincent Astley of Grandcrest.
12:25It is an honor to have you gracious with your presence.
12:28Crown Prince of Grandcrest?
12:30The royal family of Grandcrest has six princes fighting for the position of the crown prince.
12:38But I didn't know that they had already chosen him.
12:41I'm sorry, brother.
12:43It seemed that the young man was too young to be chosen.
12:47I'm sorry, brother.
12:49It seemed that the youngest son had been chosen. I had heard that he was only 21 years old.
12:54The honor is all mine, Your Majesty.
12:56You are as bold as the rumors have said. Stealing the princess's first dance from her father.
13:02I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I didn't know that such a custom existed in Ravonnia.
13:07I simply wanted to dance with the princess. I hope I didn't offend.
13:12Although their words were coated with respect, tensions were high between my father and Prince Leon.
13:18Not at all, young prince.
13:21I'm well aware the royal family of Grandcrest is known for their impulsive nature.
13:26Grandcrest was a much stronger country than our kingdom of Ravonnia.
13:30Something my father resented.
13:33Yes, Your Majesty. We certainly always get what we want.
13:42My poor sister has no talent or education.
13:46She is merely a princess in the royal household because the king pities her.
13:50Is that true, princess? No talent whatsoever? Do you play the piano, perhaps?
13:54No, I don't play the piano or any instruments for that matter.
13:58I should think a woman as charming as you would have unexplored depths.
14:04Crown Prince Leon, may I show you the new palisade work? It is hanging in my bedchamber.
14:12Certainly, Princess Harper. But I am having a conversation with your sister.
14:17Who? Amelia? She's only my half-sister.
14:21She's a poor bastard. A trashy peasant who deceased the last man who bedded her.
14:28Dirty in blood, dirty in bed.
14:34I can see why your kingdom is weakened so badly, King Matthew.
14:39You can't even get control over your own daughter. What a shame.
14:43Princess Harper, has your mother not taught you any manners?
14:47If you have nothing nice to say, then don't speak at all.
14:53Crown Prince.
14:55Crown Prince.
15:01I'm afraid my aide has told me some very important business that I must attend to.
15:05I'm sorry to leave on such short notice.
15:10Princess, I am sorry that I must leave your ball so early, but thank you for the dance.
15:18You are the only worthy partner.
15:25Such a disrespectful young man.
15:28Quiet now, Mila. Don't make a scene.
15:30But father!
15:31Silence! Their military is much stronger than ours. Can't afford to offend them.
15:40Everything is going according to plan, Your Highness.
15:46Very good, David. King Matthew has something up his sleeve and I want to know what it is.
15:51You will get to the bottom of it, Your Highness. You always do.
15:53I hope so. For all our sake. We cannot afford another war. Not against forbidden magic.
15:59And the Princess Amelia. Are you sure about her, Your Highness?
16:05In the royal family of Grandcrest, it was customary for a king to have many wives.
16:10But when one receives a blue rose, it means he chose her to be his first and legal wife.
16:16I never had second thoughts.
16:18Princess Amelia, I will surely make you my queen.
16:24I could not stop thinking about Prince Leon.
16:27But would he ever be with someone like me?
16:30And what about Jackson?
16:32It had been a few days since my coronation ball.
16:35My life had gone back to normal, with the exception of Jackson.
16:39Jackson, is this all for me?
16:41I asked Lily for all of your favorite food items.
16:44My stepmother also made her famous biscuits.
16:47Jackson, no one's ever done something this nice for me before.
16:50Amelia, there you are.
16:52Grandfather, it's so lovely to see you. Would you like to join us?
16:56Actually, I have something very important to discuss with you.
16:59Do you remember what I told you when you first arrived?
17:02Yes, of course. That with time and patience, everything will unfold.
17:06Exactly.
17:08Well, I have a surprise for you.
17:11Meet Logan Fitzwilliam.
17:13I've selected him to serve as your personal knight from this day forward.
17:17A knight? For me?
17:19It's an honor to meet you, Princess Amelia.
17:22But, Queen Amelia, I thought she was opposed to this.
17:25When a prince or princess turns 18,
17:28they are to receive a personal knight to serve as a bodyguard.
17:31When a prince or princess turns 18,
17:33they are to receive a personal knight to serve as a bodyguard.
17:36Another custom my stepmother tried her very best to stop.
17:41Don't worry about Mila.
17:43I'm the one who has selected your knight.
17:45There's nothing she can do about it.
17:47Oh, thank you, Grandfather, thank you!
17:53Yes, well, I think it would be best if we had a private ceremony here.
17:59Is that all right with you?
18:00Oh, of course, Grandfather, I don't need many witnesses.
18:03People that matter to me are all here. You'll be my witnesses.
18:06Logan, is that all right with you?
18:08General Anthony, it is already a great honor to be serving the royal family.
18:12I do not ask for recognition or for glory.
18:15Simply doing my duty gives me great joy.
18:19Strange. It feels like I know him already.
18:23The princess did not recognize that the knight who was vowing to protect her with his life
18:28was Crown Prince Leon, the one who had given her the blue rose.
18:34I, Logan Fitzwilliam, Knight of the Royal Guard, hereby solemnly swear...
18:39So Logan and I exchanged our oaths.
18:42To be honest, I couldn't have ever dreamed of something like this.
18:46I, Emilia Rosalind von Heist, the third princess of Elvadia,
18:51have heard thy oath of Logan Fitzwilliam and accept thy sword.
18:55Rise, Sir Logan.
18:58Well done, Princess Emilia.
19:04It will be a pleasure serving you, Princess Emilia.
19:13Perhaps we should show Sir Logan to his chambers.
19:16Oh, yes, of course. Sir Logan, follow me. Jackson, I'll be back shortly.
19:22Sir Logan.
19:30I'm so sorry, Sir Logan. My side of the palace is a bit shabby.
19:33It's okay, Princess. I don't mind at all.
19:36I don't know if you've heard the stories about me.
19:38I know that you are the third daughter of His Majesty King Matthew.
19:42That's a start. I'd rather you hear about my origins from me than the others.
19:46And I told him the whole truth.
19:50Even though I was afraid that he would turn away from me, if not renounce his vow.
19:56So that's why my side of the courtyard is shabby and plain,
19:59and I'm not allowed to dress or act like a princess like my sisters?
20:03I'm so sorry you have to be a personal knight for a forgotten princess like me.
20:07Even if you are the poorest of the poor, and the whole world is against you,
20:12I will always be by your side.
20:15I don't care how powerful or rich somebody is.
20:18And as a knight with virtues to uphold, I believe what's in the heart is what's most important.
20:24And I would love to see what your heart holds, Princess.
20:29He was the first person I had ever met who didn't glorify wealth and status.
20:35Thank you, Sir Logan. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better soon as well.
20:40Sir Jackson's waiting on me. Lily will take it from here.
20:44Lily will take it from here.
21:06Doesn't the grandest room belong to the princess?
21:09The first time Princess Amelia arrived, she was unable to sleep in such a huge room.
21:13She shared a cot on the floor with her mother, so big royal rooms were too grand for her.
21:21Plus, the other princess's knights were living in luxury, so I guess the princess didn't want you to feel left out.
21:26And what about Princess Amelia's other maids?
21:28Only a handful of maids are allowed to serve Princess Amelia.
21:31The queen and her stepsisters trade at Borley, so if we don't get paid well, then not many of us want to work here.
21:37I never thought the royal family would do such a thing like that to one of their own.
21:40Even if her mother was a maid, she's still the king's daughter.
21:44Maybe one day someone like Lord Jackson would marry her. I'm sure my princess would be perfectly happy with him.
21:50Is Lord Jackson courting the princess?
21:52Well, he certainly has the intention, but for now they're just getting to know each other.
21:57The only problem is that Princess Harper has eyes set on him as well, and she's used to getting what she wants.
22:03Well, I'm glad she has somebody like you watching after her.
22:06Thank you, Sir Logan.
22:11David, are you there?
22:13Yes, Your Highness.
22:22How did it go?
22:23We are still investigating, but it may take some time, Your Highness.
22:27The king has done a good job of covering his tracks.
22:30David was on a mission to find evidence of king's involvement in helping resurrect forbidden magic.
22:36Take your time. I'm beginning to enjoy myself here.
22:40Seems like the princess has already started to grow on you.
22:44Yes. And I cannot wait to get to know her more intimately.
22:51She is my future wife, after all.
22:54She is my future wife, after all.
23:03Everything looked the same, but I felt different.
23:08Good morning, Princess Amelia. This is the first time you've ever slept in.
23:13What? What time is it?
23:15It's half past ten.
23:17Pribble's going to kill me for missing my morning lesson.
23:19Don't worry, Princess. It was General Anthony who ordered me not to wake you up.
23:23He also told me to give you these.
23:26New clothes? For me?
23:28It's not just any new clothes. It's a riding outfit.
23:31You have horseback riding lessons this afternoon.
23:33Oh, Lily, I've always wanted to go horseback riding. My sisters don't know how.
23:38Well, you better hurry and get down to breakfast, so you're not late for your first lesson with Sir Logan.
23:42Okay.
23:50Oh!
23:51Sir Logan, I'm so sorry!
23:53Princess, good morning. Or should I say afternoon?
23:58I'm so sorry. I don't know what's gotten into me. I don't normally sleep this late.
24:01Oh, so I'm told.
24:03Perhaps you finally feel safe enough to let your guard down.
24:07I'm glad you sleep peacefully with me.
24:09I'm not sleeping with you. I'm sleeping in the room next to you.
24:13For now.
24:14For now.
24:17I'm so embarrassed.
24:19It's not how a princess is supposed to act. I don't know what's gotten into me.
24:22I'm just glad you feel at ease around me, princess.
24:25I would love to get to know the real you, rather than the third princess of Elfania.
24:30Now, come.
24:34Let's get some food in you.
24:39I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I'm just not used to this kind of food.
24:43May I have a croissant and tea, perhaps?
24:46Those are empty carbs that'll make you full for a little bit, and then you'll be even hungrier.
24:51Now I can see why you're so thin. Looks like you would blow away in a storm.
24:55I do believe that all women should be a little plump.
24:58I beg your pardon?
25:00You need some fat in you. You would look even prettier with some curves.
25:05Are you calling me thin and ugly?
25:08I'm not saying that you're ugly, your highness.
25:11I am saying that you would just look more beautiful with some curves.
25:17Now come, let's eat.
25:24Come on, it's oatmeal, it's not pig slop.
25:29Now be a good girl, and open your mouth.
25:38Wide.
25:41Holy gods, what am I doing?
25:44Is this a normal conversation between a princess and her knight?
25:49Princess Amelia, I must tell you something.
25:52Princess Amelia, please meet my stepmother.
25:56I wanted to meet the girl my stepson can't stop talking about.
26:00It seems we'll be family soon.
26:04I don't know what to say.
26:06I don't know what to say.
26:08I don't know what to say.
26:10I don't know what to say.
26:12I don't know what to say.
26:14I don't know what to say.
26:16We'll be family soon.
26:18I don't understand how I didn't notice it myself,
26:21but I ended up caught in the web of a love triangle.
26:31How about next time I retrieve the kite, princess?
26:35You smile, it's beautiful.
26:37Don't worry, this smile's reserved for only you.
26:41Princess Amelia!
26:42Oh, Jackson, so nice to see you.
26:44Hi.
26:45What was that?
26:46Well, you told me that you wanted to visit new places,
26:49and while we don't have that opportunity now,
26:51I brought you a gift from Genova.
26:53Have you ever seen a tiger?
26:55Only in books.
26:56Well, from now on you can see it in person every day,
26:59because that handsome creature that scared the servants in the garden is all yours.
27:05Thank you, thank you!
27:16So, truth or dare?
27:18Truth.
27:19Why are you courting me?
27:20You're very kind, compassionate,
27:22and you have a heart that so finely fills this world.
27:28I'm lucky to have met a girl like you.
27:31Truth or dare?
27:36Dare.
27:38I want to kiss.
27:42Jackson, are you alright?
27:44I'm sorry, I don't know how I could have missed.
27:47I'm fine, princess Amelia.
27:49It was just a scratch, nothing fatal.
27:59I brought you some snacks.
28:00It's Logan's idea.
28:02Thank you, Lily.
28:05So, what do you think of him?
28:07Who?
28:08Sir Logan, of course.
28:10I saw you two talking earlier.
28:12He kissed your hand.
28:13You know what that means.
28:14Lily, were you eavesdropping?
28:16Well, I didn't mean to.
28:17I was just passing by and I saw the two of you talking intimately.
28:20I didn't want to disturb you, so I hid.
28:23Lily, I would prefer if you didn't eavesdrop on Logan and I.
28:27Princess, it will never happen again.
28:30It's okay, Lily.
28:32Sir Logan is a kind man and he's very knowledgeable during my writing lessons.
28:37He's also tall and handsome and dreamy.
28:42And he has a great smile.
28:44Oh, princess, you're blushing.
28:46What? No, I'm not.
28:48Princess, you seldom smile.
28:50You look so beautiful when you do.
28:52Really?
28:56You were really beautiful when you smiled, princess.
29:03Sir Logan, is everything alright?
29:05Why do you ask?
29:06Because the princess and the young lord look quite happy with each other.
29:15And why would that upset me?
29:18Because you like the princess, do you not?
29:21I can tell by the way you look at her.
29:23The princess is young and naive, but she has a good heart.
29:27That much I know.
29:29If you like her, you must show it.
29:31Are you willing to court her?
29:33You have a worthy rival in front of you.
29:36Sir Jackson is indeed a worthy opponent.
29:39But I'm sure I will prevail in the end.
29:42Just know if you hurt my lady in any way, you gain an enemy.
29:45Logan respected Lily's loyalty.
29:48There isn't much dignity left in this world.
29:50Jackson!
29:51Oh, Jackson, I've been looking everywhere for you.
29:55Princess Harper.
29:57Is everything alright?
29:58Lord Miles and I are about to have tea in the drawing room.
30:00Would you please join us?
30:01Only if Princess Amelia can join.
30:05I'd be thrilled if Amelia joined us.
30:18So, Miles, how long have you been courting Princess Harper?
30:27I have stopped by a few times now.
30:30Nothing serious quite yet.
30:32We're slowly getting to know each other.
30:35Lord Miles was known more for his ego than his political savvy.
30:39Much to her chagrin, he had been courting my stepsister.
30:43And you and Princess Amelia?
30:45I'm here as often as etiquette allows.
30:47So as not to dishonor Princess Amelia.
30:50Well, nothing is set in stone.
30:52Courting is meaningless anyway.
30:54It is our father who ultimately decides who we marry.
30:57You were right, Princess Harper.
31:00And I've already done a lot to gain your father's approval for Amelia's hand.
31:06Why do you think we signed the new trade alliance?
31:13Amelia, you deserve someone that is on your level.
31:17My poor sister is only half royal.
31:21That's simply not true.
31:22It's Princess Amelia who deserves better.
31:26And I will prove myself to her every day if I have to.
31:31You're a lord, and she's...
31:36Where's that Kate with the tea?
31:39Apologies for the delay.
31:41We needed a special teapot for Lord Miles's oolong tea.
31:46My father imported it all the way from Grandcrest.
31:53Amelia, would you do your big sister a favor and pour me some tea?
31:58Pretty please. My hands are tired.
32:01Of course, Harper.
32:16My face! You burnt my face!
32:19The teapot, it slipped! I didn't mean to!
32:22You did that on purpose.
32:24You're jealous of your sister's beauty.
32:26What if it scars? I'll be hideous!
32:29Harper, I'm so sorry. It was an accident. I didn't mean to.
32:32Miles, what are you doing? She's still a princess.
32:35Princess, Kate? She's a bastard.
32:39Logan!
32:40You dare lay your hands on my princess?
32:45I'm sorry, my princess. It's all my fault you were hurt. I should have been by your side.
32:49What? Logan, no. It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself.
32:53Who do you think you are?
32:55I'm the son of the Duke of Carlson. I am the heir to the Carlson House of Lords.
33:01My princess, please stand back. I'll handle this.
33:04Logan, no. I'm not going anywhere.
33:06God, how much I love that smile.
33:10Wait, what? What am I thinking about?
33:13He starts a fight and he's about to get beaten up and I'm thinking about a smile?
33:17Don't worry. Even if there were an army in front of me, there wouldn't be a single man that would stop me from avenging you.
33:24Well, well, well. Such a sweet couple.
33:28And what kind of ragamuffin is sleeping with that bastard?
33:32I am Princess Amelia's knight.
33:36She has a knight?
33:38In honor of Princess Amelia, I am giving you one last chance.
33:44Apologize to the princess or lose your life.
33:50Are you kidding? Me?
33:51Me? Apologize to her?
33:54Sir Miles, as punishment for attacking my princess, I challenge you to a duel.
34:04You challenge me to a duel? Fine.
34:08Somebody get my sword. Now!
34:12I had seen grandfather practicing with his knights and sparring with one another, but this was my first time witnessing a true duel.
34:22Are they going to be okay?
34:27Don't worry. No one is going to lose their lives here, but it's inevitable that they'll sustain some injuries.
34:33The loser of the duel must meet the demands of the winner. No matter what.
34:38Thinking of Logan made my heart race even faster.
34:42Jackson, we need to put a stop to this.
34:44I'm afraid it's too late, princess. Logan is a worthy opponent.
34:48Come on.
34:49Come on.
35:02Admit defeat and this ends here.
35:06Never.
35:14Surrender.
35:16No!
35:17That's cheating!
35:19Isn't it normal for a knight to have to fight for his lady and maybe get hurt? Why am I so worried?
35:36It's over, Lord Miles. You lose.
35:40Sir Logan, as winner, what do you demand of Sir Miles?
35:44Get on your knees in front of Princess Amelia and beg for her forgiveness.
35:51Kneel in front of that bastard.
35:54Watch what you say before I shame you in front of all of Olvanya!
35:58All right. Fine.
36:01Princess Amelia Roslyn von Heist, I, Miles Franklin Tantridge, ask for your forgiveness.
36:10I, um, I...
36:13As princess, you have every right to punish him. I suggest you slap him.
36:17I have never slapped anybody before.
36:19As princess, you must show your power and authority to servants and those around you.
36:23Your Highness?
36:24Logan was right. Many people were watching us. If I didn't do something, they would think that I'm a weakling.
36:31Look up, Sir Miles.
36:34I will forgive you, but do not forget your place.
36:37I may be a bastard, but I still have royal blood flowing through my veins.
36:41My status will always be higher than yours.
36:45That will be your punishment.
36:46I may be a bastard, but I still have royal blood flowing through my veins. My status will always be higher than yours.
36:53That wench. So confident that you have your personal knight. Well, that won't last long.
37:06Come in.
37:17Princess Amelia, I can dress my wounds myself.
37:21You can't reach the ones on your side and your back, can you?
37:24No, but it's...
37:25No buts about it. It's my fault you were injured. The least I can do is put some ointment on it.
37:30Well, well, well. It seems I was mistaken about you, princess.
37:39Why are you calling me princess? I thought when we were alone we could use our real name.
37:43Is my little Amelia throwing a tantrum?
37:45Just strip and let me put some medicine on your wounds. Consider it an order.
37:52All right, Amelia. Your wish is my command.
38:15I wonder how he got these.
38:19Do they scare you?
38:21No, not at all.
38:24Then are they ugly? Or perhaps you pity me?
38:29Pity you? I'm happy and proud.
38:32Happy and proud?
38:34Yes. You've endured all of this and made it out. I'm happy and proud.
38:40You've endured all of this and made it out. I'm happy that you are alive and I was able to meet you.
38:50And I'm proud that you live every day with that smile on your face.
38:56You really are different, Princess Amelia.
39:01Is that a bad thing?
39:03I was used to people putting me down, but I never wanted Logan to think poorly of me.
39:11No, it's a compliment. You're far from what I expected.
39:22Your ointment hurts.
39:24You're so sweet. It's dangerous.
39:33Promise me you won't let other men see this look.
39:40Promise me that you will only look like this for me.
39:48Can I kiss you?
39:51I didn't know what to say. A kiss is between a romantic couple, right?
39:57I'll take your silence as a yes.
40:11Mm.
40:23This is dangerous.
40:25If Grandfather found out-
40:26I don't care if he finds out. I just want you to be sure in your decision.
40:37Let's just leave this here for now.
40:41Father.
40:44You should go. We have horseback riding lessons tomorrow.
40:54You're mine, Amelia. Don't forget it.
40:59Yours?
41:01Yes. Only mine.
41:10Yours.
41:18Princess Harper could not rest until she ruined Amelia's life, so she sent her maid to do her dirty work.
41:32I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened between Logan and me. The feeling of his lips on mine.
41:40What about Jackson?
41:42I still felt my heart flutter when I thought of Jackson, but it was fleeting. My feelings for Logan were much more intense.
41:50Is this what they call love?
41:54Princess, is everything alright? You look worried.
42:02Lily, have you ever been in love?
42:05Princess, is this about Sir Jackson?
42:08Sir Logan?
42:11I've only ever read about it in novels. I have no clue what love is really like.
42:16Well, did you kiss?
42:20How did it feel?
42:25My heart races when he talks to me and goes crazy when he touches me. I find myself thinking about him all the time. I feel comfortable around him.
42:33I believe that is love. My princess has found her first love. We've officially grown up.
42:39He's taking me riding again this afternoon. I have to meet him at the stables.
42:42But how will I talk to him? I don't even know how to look at him after what happened. He told me that I'm his.
42:49Princess, that means you're a couple.
42:51A couple? But Lily, what if I'm making a mistake? I mean, what about Sir Jackson? He's been so sweet and kind to me and done so much to court me.
43:01How will I choose?
43:04Princess!
43:06What happened?
43:08Sir Logan?
43:18Amelia is on the brink of death. Will she succumb to the malice around her? And how far will Logan go to make those who wronged her pay?
43:31Watch what happens next in the story.
43:39Please let me go!
43:46Hope! Hope!
43:49No. No. No!
