00:28:24augustus is a drunk
00:28:25he probably mistook his apple for a table decoration
00:28:29i wouldn't
00:28:30lord severin has been trying to undermine my marriage since the day we met
00:28:33why should anyone believe he suddenly has our family's best interests at heart
00:28:37because unlike you

00:28:40yeah
00:28:42help
00:28:43by insulting my wife
00:28:44by trying to court a married woman

00:28:49he's right
00:28:50lord severin has never hidden how little he respects our marriage
00:28:54hmm
00:28:54an excellent point

00:32:16i want to hear it from you
00:32:18all week you've acted weird
00:32:20first you bought an extravagant gift for my birthday and claimed you sold some furniture
00:32:25but then suddenly
00:32:26suddenly you own a tavern
00:32:27and then today
00:32:28more gifts
00:32:29more gold
00:32:30and a banker treated you like a king
00:32:32you need to tell me what is going on
00:32:34how is it possible to sell a small fortune's worth of
00:32:36luck
00:32:37don't you see it's your luck that brought me success
00:32:40you've always been my muse
00:32:42breathe
00:32:42no more secrets
00:32:44i don't know why you thought you couldn't tell me
00:32:54you're right
00:32:54i have something i've been meaning to tell you for a long time
00:32:57what is it?
00:32:58it's better if i show you
00:32:59wait here i'll tell you everything
00:33:08she may never forgive me
00:33:09but i can't keep lying to her
00:33:12she deserves to know the truth
00:33:37tell me where the golden air is
00:33:39you
00:33:40don't think it could be me?
00:33:45of course not
00:33:46you're nothing
00:33:47a failure
00:33:50but
00:33:51you bought an entire tavern with solid gold
00:33:55and now your account at the bank is overflowing with gold
00:33:58every trail leads back to you
00:34:01which means you know exactly who the golden hair is
00:34:04so certain it isn't me, huh?
00:34:10you could never dream of being this powerful
00:34:20is this
00:34:22living gold?
00:34:23you know what i think?
00:34:25i think when you left in disgrace
00:34:26you found one of father's bastards
00:34:28and now you're blackmailing him or her
00:34:29into giving you money
00:34:33tell me who it is
00:34:34or i'll march back to house arvin myself
00:34:37and burn that sundered house to the ground
00:34:40until the real golden air
00:34:42comes crawling out to stop me
00:34:46you wouldn't
00:34:47you wouldn't
00:34:47i won't
00:34:48so long as you tell me who it is
00:34:53you want the golden air, huh?
00:34:57kill him! quickly! before you go!
00:35:00you want the golden air, huh?
00:35:23you want the golden air, huh?
00:35:24quickly! before father sees what he can do!
00:35:34Maybe try lifting with your legs.
00:35:45Sorcery!
00:35:46Isn't that why you kidnapped me?
00:35:51Enough!
00:35:54You don't know the first thing about fighting!
00:36:02Yeah, I mostly make furniture.
00:36:06Stop!
00:36:10My son.
00:36:13You've returned.
00:36:15The golden heir has finally come home.
00:36:22Hear me!
00:36:23The golden heir has returned.
00:36:26Effective immediately.
00:36:28Dante Midas is restored as the head of house Midas.
00:36:32Welcome home.
00:36:33Father, no.
00:36:34I've spent seven years rebuilding this house.
00:36:38It didn't seem like you lead it anywhere good.
00:36:41This house was built by the golden touch.
00:36:44The golden heir has always led house Midas.
00:36:48But father, save your breath, brother.
00:36:53I don't want your stupid titles.
00:36:56Seven years ago, you stood in this very amphitheater, called me a disgrace, stripped me of my name, and threw
00:37:03me into the streets.
00:37:08I was wrong.
00:37:10I did not know what you would become.
00:37:12You can keep your house.
00:37:15It stopped being my home, the day you cast me out.
00:37:18Oh, good.
00:37:19I thought I'd have to murder him in his sleep.
00:37:33On second thought.
00:37:41Fine.
00:37:42I think I will lead your failed house.
00:37:44On one condition.
00:37:46Kneel before the sun you threw away.
00:37:50Gladly.
00:37:51You too.
00:37:55Absolutely not.
00:37:56You think you can just waltz back in here and...
00:37:58Our house is dying, our magic has withered, and vaults run dry.
00:38:01This is the only way...
00:38:02Never!
00:38:03While you were hiding, playing house with that oven girl, I was here.
00:38:06Me!
00:38:07Then don't.
00:38:08But don't expect me to save you.
00:38:10Save me?
00:38:11The debt father just alluded to.
00:38:13Empty vaults.
00:38:15You were leading this house.
00:38:16That's why you've been hunting the golden heir, right?
00:38:20If you want me to fix house Midas, you'll have to kneel.
00:38:28All right, brother.
00:38:29I'll kneel.
00:38:30For now.
00:38:34Long live the golden heir.
00:38:37Long live the golden heir!
00:38:39My first decree.
00:38:41Yesterday, House Arvin's representative was changed from Eloise Arvin to Augustus Arvin.
00:38:46Reverse that decision immediately.
00:38:48From this day forward, only Eloise Arvin may represent House Arvin before House Midas.
00:38:53It will be done.
00:38:54My second decree.
00:38:55House Midas has forgotten why it exists.
00:38:57The country has suffered at the expense of all the wealth we hoarded.
00:39:00Gold should circulate, not gather dust in vaults.
00:39:02I want relief sent to every village suffering from famine, debt, or poverty.
00:39:06What?
00:39:07With what money?
00:39:07The treasury's already running dry.
00:39:09The money I'm going to create.
00:39:18This is madness.
00:39:21Those are my terms.
00:39:23Take them or leave them.
00:39:27But...
00:39:29Consider it done.
00:39:32Don't.
00:39:37Brother is a threat to everything we built here.
00:39:41I need to find everything you can on Eloise Arvin.
00:39:50Where the hell have you been?
00:39:55You've been gone for hours.
00:39:56You said you had something to show me and then poof!
00:40:00You just disappeared.
00:40:04I just went out for...
00:40:06No!
00:40:06Every time something strange happens, you're gone.
00:40:10Then you come back pretending nothing happened.
00:40:12Please, just tell me what's going on.
00:40:16Okay.
00:40:17I'll tell you everything, but first, just...
00:40:19You know how much I love you, right?
00:40:23Of course, Dante.
00:40:25What the hell is going on?
00:40:27I'm...
00:40:27What are you still doing up?
00:40:29You have an early, and might I remind you,
00:40:31exceptionally important meeting tomorrow.
00:40:34She's right.
00:40:35I promise I'll tell you everything tomorrow,
00:40:37after your meeting with House Midas.
00:40:40Tomorrow's going to be the happiest day of your life.
00:40:43Promise.
00:40:50What on earth are you doing?
00:40:54Following your orders, I'm taking my wife to bed.
00:41:01You sure you don't want me to ride with you?
00:41:04I'm taking the scenic route to House Midas.
00:41:06I'll probably be gone all day.
00:41:09You promise to tell me everything when I get back, remember?
00:41:13I will.
00:41:15Kiss me for luck.
00:41:17You won't need it.
00:41:25Come on!
00:41:30House Midas isn't going to know what hit them.
00:41:42Driver?
00:41:43Why did he stop?
00:41:52Okay.
00:41:54Eloise will be here in less than an hour.
00:41:57Today's the day.
00:41:58No more secrets.
00:42:00When Eloise arrives, she'll know who I really am.
00:42:02Out of my way!
00:42:06I demand to speak with the head of House Midas.
00:42:14What are you doing here?
00:42:32Lord Severine?
00:42:34Hello again, my dear.
00:42:36What are you even doing here?
00:42:37I thought House Midas made it clear they wanted to talk to Eloise.
00:42:41Mother told me to get here before her so she couldn't mess it up.
00:42:45And why are you here?
00:42:46Simple.
00:42:47I'm the head of House Midas.
00:42:50Head of House Midas!
00:42:58Still loyal to your husband?
00:43:00Admirable.
00:43:03Hopefully not for long.
00:43:05Why are you doing this?
00:43:07Because I'm tired of pretending to be something I'm not.
00:43:12You're not really a noble, are you?
00:43:14What was your first clue?
00:43:20If you don't stop laughing, I'm going to call the guards.
00:43:24Oh, what a great idea!
00:43:26Guards!
00:43:27This dolt is impersonating the head of House Midas!
00:43:30Arrest him at once!
00:43:33You murdered an entire great house?
00:43:35You great houses think yourselves so mighty.
00:43:39So many of you live in seclusion.
00:43:40No one even noticed Gaul was gone.
00:43:43I plan on taking my revolution to every house.
00:43:45Breaking every chain!
00:43:46It sounds more like you want to be the one holding the whip.
00:43:49The one thing I couldn't steal from House Gaul.
00:43:51They're magic.
00:43:52That's why I need you.
00:43:53Marry me, Eloise, and your bloodline will survive when all the other houses fall.
00:43:57And with luck on my side, no one can stop me.
00:43:59I'd rather die.
00:44:02I'm terribly sorry.
00:44:03It wasn't a choice.
00:44:07Have you all gone insane?
00:44:09By order of House Midas, you are permanently banned from House Midas property.
00:44:15But I've never even met them!
00:44:27Don't let her escape!
00:44:31Please leave the luck.
00:44:32Hear my plea.
00:44:33Give me all the luck I need to flee.
00:44:39What are you doing?
00:44:51What the hell are you laughing at?
00:44:59Wait!
00:45:06Thank you!
00:45:12Something's wrong.
00:45:17I should go look for her.
00:45:21Lady Arvin, Dante Midas has been expecting you.
00:45:30Dante Midas?
00:45:34I need Dante.
00:45:42Welcome to House Midas, sister.
00:45:50Eloise?
00:45:51Eloise!
00:45:55Eloise?
00:46:01Where's Eloise?
00:46:02Who cares?
00:46:03Can't you see that I'm injured?
00:46:05I'm injured.
00:46:07I'm injured.
00:46:10She hasn't come home.
00:46:12What do you mean?
00:46:14She left for House Midas this morning.
00:46:17That's all I know.
00:46:20So no one knows where my wife is.
00:46:29How do you like the dress, Lady Arvin?
00:46:31A woman of your beauty shouldn't never be confined to muddied rags.
00:46:35It's beautiful, my lord.
00:46:40Do you think we can talk about the potential partnership between our two houses?
00:46:43I didn't come for gifts.
00:46:46Of course.
00:46:47Anything for my sister.
00:46:50Is that like a Midas cultural custom, or why do you keep calling that?
00:46:54So it's true.
00:46:55She has absolutely no clue who her husband really is.
00:47:00I can use that.
00:47:03What else would I call my brother's wife?
00:47:10Ow!
00:47:12What was that for?
00:47:14Look what you've done!
00:47:16Augustus has been banned from House Midas because of you!
00:47:20I didn't ask him to storm in like an asshole.
00:47:23You set me up!
00:47:25I did not!
00:47:26Enough!
00:47:28For all we know, Eloise is in a Midas prison cell somewhere because you were sneaking around
00:47:34their house for God knows what reason.
00:47:35Why were you there in the first place?
00:47:39What?
00:47:40Do you think because you're a small business owner, now you can go anywhere?
00:47:44What?
00:47:45You're right.
00:47:46I've been acting strangely lately, and the reason why is...
00:47:50What on earth is going on?
00:47:52Every damn time.
00:47:58Bring me Eloise Arben!
00:48:04That's impossible.
00:48:06Dante would have told me if he was a Midas.
00:48:09Why would he lie about something like that?
00:48:12Sounds like there's a great deal you don't know about your husband.
00:48:16Mother.
00:48:23Take Augustus and go.
00:48:25What?
00:48:25Mother!
00:48:26Don't argue with me.
00:48:27I'll deal with him.
00:48:29Genevieve, he's dangerous.
00:48:30I have regretted letting you marry my daughter since the moment you looked into our lives.
00:48:35Don't disappoint me again.
00:48:36Don't disappoint me again.
00:48:41Lord Severine, if House Arben has offended House Gaul, I beg your forgiveness.
00:48:47Whatever grievance there is, we can resolve it peacefully.
00:48:52House Gaul is dead, Lady Arben.
00:48:54I killed them.
00:48:56Your house is next.
00:49:00Viva la revolution!
00:49:06Who are you really?
00:49:13Find her hands.
00:49:18Search every room until you find the girl, and if you find her husband, kill him.
00:49:31I... I can't...
00:49:32What?
00:49:34I can't climb that.
00:49:36I'm too weak.
00:49:38With these injuries, I can't cast magic.
00:49:41I can't fight.
00:49:42I can't even climb a wall.
00:49:46Just leave me here.
00:49:49You're not serious.
00:49:51It's what I would do in your position.
00:49:54God.
00:49:54I am so damn tired of this family.
00:50:01You know, I always hated you because you never needed magic.
00:50:10You just kept solving every problem yourself.
00:50:14I always envied that.
00:50:16Would Eloise run, or would she stay and fight for a family that never loved her?
00:50:24We'll find another way.
00:50:27I found them!
00:50:29They're in the back!
00:50:30It's fighting, it is.
00:50:52Wait.
00:50:53You're a Midas?
00:51:01Augustus!
00:51:02Augustus!
00:51:07He's alive.
00:51:09Thank God.
00:51:12Stay alive.
00:51:15Perfect.
00:51:16I was beginning to think I'd have to kill her before you showed yourself.
00:51:20Let her go.
00:51:22Gladly.
00:51:22Just tell me where Eloise is.
00:51:24After the little stunt she pulled today, I want her to watch while I butcher her husband,
00:51:27then her mother.
00:51:32You came all this way for revenge?
00:51:34Your wife humiliated me!
00:51:35Rejected me time and time again!
00:51:37All I ever did was a little kidnapping and forced marriage.
00:51:40You tried to kidnap my wife?
00:51:41She escaped!
00:51:46You're not really House Gaul, are you?
00:51:48Oh my God.
00:51:49Does it matter?
00:51:51No.
00:51:52Genevieve, now!
00:51:55Len!
00:52:01I'm going to find Eloise.
00:52:08You've just cast a spell.
00:52:10What family do you aim?
00:52:12Who are you?
00:52:25The golden heir!
00:52:28Eloise escaped Severine, but didn't return home.
00:52:31There's only one place she could be.
00:52:34Dante!
00:52:35Wait!
00:52:35I'm sorry.
00:52:37For everything.
00:52:38For every time I made you feel unworthy of my daughter.
00:52:41I thought Eloise deserved someone better than you.
00:52:42I was wrong.
00:52:43You truly are the perfect man for her.
00:52:45Powers or not, I always was.
00:52:51Dante lies.
00:52:53That's what he does.
00:52:55He lied to your entire family.
00:52:57While you pitied him for being powerless,
00:52:59he was secretly the strongest Midas alive.
00:53:02The golden heir.
00:53:03I want you to meet my father.
00:53:05He'll confirm everything.
00:53:15Father, no!
00:53:18Dante!
00:53:19What have you done?
00:53:21Dante did this.
00:53:27I can buy that Dante lied to me.
00:53:28I know that now.
00:53:30But he wouldn't do this.
00:53:32He wouldn't murder his own father.
00:53:34Are you so blinded that you cannot see the monster you married?
00:53:37My brother has hated house Midas ever since father cast him out.
00:53:40Everything he's done since then has been revenge.
00:53:43Marrying into house Arvin.
00:53:45Hiding his powers from all of us.
00:53:49Even winning father's trust again.
00:53:51He didn't come home to save us.
00:53:53He came home to destroy us from within.
00:54:01This is bronze.
00:54:05If Dante really is the golden heir,
00:54:08why would he turn his own father into bronze?
00:54:21You're asking the wrong question.
00:54:33Please, don't kill me.
00:54:35Kill you?
00:54:36Why would I do that?
00:54:40I only turned your dress to proms.
00:54:42You're perfectly safe.
00:54:44Then why keep me alive?
00:54:47Because you're much more valuable to me breathing than dead.
00:54:56Lady Luck, hear my plea.
00:55:02Good riddance.
00:55:05Lady Arvind?
00:55:08If you're going to stand there, make yourself useful.
00:55:10Start cleaning.
00:55:13Stop.
00:55:14Go fetch a carriage.
00:55:16My daughter is in grave danger.
00:55:21Eloise!
00:55:23Eloise!
00:55:28Father?
00:55:39Father, no.
00:55:44Why would Soren do this?
00:56:08I'm too late.
00:56:31After all these years, I wish we'd gotten to know each other.
00:56:41Goodbye, Dad.
00:56:45Did you find Eloise?
00:56:48No.
00:56:51Soren got to her first.
00:56:56You've taken her somewhere.
00:56:58I don't know where.
00:57:01Why are you relieved?
00:57:03Because I know exactly where he's taken her.
00:57:19Soren is summoning the great houses for a council.
00:57:44I know what you're thinking.
00:57:49You think I'm insane.
00:57:52Pretty much.
00:57:55If you knew what I knew, you'd help me willingly.
00:58:00Help you?
00:58:02The great houses are dying, Eloise.
00:58:05Surely you've noticed.
00:58:06House Midas magic has been fading for years.
00:58:10House Gaul has already fallen.
00:58:12Every noble family grows weaker with each new generation.
00:58:16But House Arban, it's always held on by the skin of its teeth.
00:58:20Right now, your family's luck magic may be the most important power left in the kingdom.
00:58:25So you want me for my luck?
00:58:28You and everyone else?
00:58:31Luck creates opportunity.
00:58:34Opportunity for what?
00:58:36The system we've built has failed every one of us.
00:58:39While the great houses hoard wealth and squabble over scraps, revolutionaries gather in the shadows.
00:58:44My brother was right about one thing.
00:58:46If nothing changes, they'll burn this kingdom to the ground.
00:58:51It's time for a new system.
00:58:55A new system?
00:58:57Can't you hear them?
00:58:59The people cry out for a king.
00:59:02And why would I ever help you do that?
00:59:05Because if you don't, you'll never see Dante again.
00:59:24This...
00:59:25This is the old royal castle, isn't it?
00:59:28Before there were ten great houses, there was only one.
00:59:32It brought all challengers to heal with its immense power.
00:59:36There was peace.
00:59:37The kingdom ended in civil war.
00:59:41Tomorrow, every great house will gather here to witness the birth of a greater kingdom.
00:59:49One where Midas rules.
00:59:50You could help me rebuild what was lost.
00:59:53Stand beside me willingly.
00:59:56I don't have to remove you from the board.
00:59:59Your luck can change the tides of fate.
01:00:04Never.
01:00:08A shame.
01:00:10Put Lady Arvin in the dungeon until she changes her mind.
01:00:16And prepare the great hall.
01:00:18We're throwing a banquet.
01:00:21He's recreating the royal court.
01:00:24If every great house answers this summons, he'll have every noble family in one place.
01:00:30Whatever he's planning, it ends there.
01:00:36Please, save my daughter.
01:00:38I've hidden from her.
01:00:40I don't know if she'll ever forgive me.
01:00:43My daughter has many faults.
01:00:45Being crazy or stupid, that is not my daughter.
01:00:51She'll forgive you.
01:01:03We're too late.
01:01:15Never get inside.
01:01:18You and I will.
01:01:22Sorin knows I'll come for Eloise.
01:01:25The second he sees me, I'm dead.
01:01:27That's where luck comes in.
01:01:29Son, I've got you.
01:01:33Lady Arvin.
01:01:35Lord Augustus.
01:01:36And him?
01:01:37My attendant.
01:01:39Only members of the great hounds may enter.
01:01:41Oh well.
01:01:53Hey!
01:01:55Hey! Stop right there!
01:02:02Help!
01:02:03Lady Luck, bless or spice, give to me your power to smite!
01:02:10Did I do that?
01:02:12Augustus, what have you done?
01:02:16Saving my brother-in-law.
01:02:18Magic is forbidden during a conflagration of the great houses.
01:02:22Please!
01:02:22Have mercy!
01:02:24Mother.
01:02:25Girl.
01:02:32Our orders are clear.
01:02:34Anyone who violates the rules...
01:02:36Dies.
01:02:44No!
01:02:45If you fight now, you'll never reach Eloise.
01:02:51I can't leave you.
01:02:53Save my daughter.
01:02:54I'll save my son.
01:02:56Go!
01:03:04Tell me...
01:03:06Where are you?
01:03:08Mother.
01:03:08I'll save my daughter-in-law.
01:03:13I will save you.
01:03:14Be my mother-in-law.
01:03:17Let me get to my husband-law.
01:03:21I will save her.
01:03:22You're nothing.
01:03:23Amen.
01:03:23You're nothing.
01:03:23You're a brother-in-law.
01:03:28It's okay.
01:03:30There's one.
01:03:30Dit-law-in-law.
01:03:44Not so fast.
01:03:49By order of House Midas, it is my duty to cut you down.
01:03:53Careful, I'm done showing mercy to anyone who stands between me and my wife.
01:04:01I bet by now you're wondering why I asked you here tonight.
01:04:07In the ruins of the former empire, I think it's high time we declare a new king.
01:04:15And who would that be?
01:04:16You?
01:04:18House Midas can barely keep itself alive.
01:04:20We've all heard the rumors you led your own house to the brink of ruin.
01:04:31I'm a fair man. If any of you wish to challenge my flame.
01:04:38You may do so now.
01:04:48Dante!
01:04:50Dante!
01:04:51Dante!
01:05:03Ow!
01:05:04Elise!
01:05:08Why?
01:05:08Why didn't you tell me about House Minas?
01:05:11About your powers?
01:05:12About any of it?
01:05:13I'm supposed to be your wife.
01:05:15What if you can trust me?
01:05:20I was afraid you'd see me differently.
01:05:23I know I lied to you.
01:05:24And I'm sorry.
01:05:25But please...
01:05:27Just give me a chance.
01:05:29I'll explain everything.
01:05:31Fine.
01:05:33Start talking.
01:05:35Release us at once!
01:05:37You can't imprison the Great Houses!
01:05:42I already have.
01:05:44Now it's your time to choose.
01:05:47Bow to me and I'll let you live.
01:05:59My son!
01:06:02You monster!
01:06:04Malcolm was my only heir!
01:06:08Then your house has already ended.
01:06:17Eight Great Houses came here tonight.
01:06:20Seven remain.
01:06:21Bow to me or that number will keep falling.
01:06:25Good nobles.
01:06:28Now chant my name as you all once did.
01:06:31Soren.
01:06:32Soren!
01:06:33Soren!
01:06:34Soren!
01:06:36Soren!
01:06:37One moment.
01:06:42The Arvind family.
01:06:44So good of you to join us.
01:06:47You're just getting here at the fun bit.
01:06:52Bow.
01:06:58I said, bow.
01:07:00Mother, please.
01:07:02What have you done with my daughter?
01:07:05Bow.
01:07:06And I'll tell you.
01:07:07Are you all so afraid of one man?
01:07:10Some Great Houses you are.
01:07:12I said, bow to me!
01:07:19You will learn your place.
01:07:23No!
01:07:35All this time, you've been helping me from the shadows.
01:07:43Because I wanted to protect you.
01:07:46You didn't think I could protect myself.
01:07:48I'm literally made of luck magic.
01:07:50I know, I just...
01:07:51I didn't want you to lose faith in yourself before everyone else saw it.
01:07:54You think I doubt myself?
01:07:56Eloise, sometimes you cast spells and it's not clear they do anything.
01:07:59But I know that your magic is real.
01:08:02You're an asshole, you know that?
01:08:05I never once doubted my magic, Dante!
01:08:08Not once!
01:08:11It brought me you.
01:08:14I'm sorry, you're right.
01:08:16Seven years ago, I stood on that stage and nothing happened.
01:08:19An altar that unlocks golden power every 200 years rejected me.
01:08:22My family, your family rejected me.
01:08:25But seven years with you and I became the person I was always meant to be.
01:08:28I just wanted to pay you back.
01:08:30I love you.
01:08:39Do you forgive me?
01:08:47I want to.
01:08:49What?
01:08:52Let's go, then.
01:08:54Help me stop Soren.
01:08:55And maybe I'll consider it.
01:08:58Together?
01:08:59Together?
01:09:00Till death do us part.
01:09:08Again!
01:09:17Stop your crying.
01:09:19This is a joyful celebration.
01:09:21Laugh!
01:09:22Terrible acting.
01:09:24Silence!
01:09:25They worship me.
01:09:26They're afraid of you.
01:09:29Just like they were of the last king.
01:09:32If you aid me with your magic, I'll let you live.
01:09:35Remember what I did to your son.
01:09:37There isn't enough luck, magic in the world, to make the people accept you as king.
01:09:43So be it.
01:09:47Let her go!
01:09:50Eloise!
01:09:50Eloise!
01:09:51You're alive!
01:09:53Or your reign of terror will meet a short end.
01:10:02All right, my noble subject.
01:10:04If you are truly loyal to your king, prove it.
01:10:17Eloise!
01:10:18God!
01:10:31Lady Luck, grant me your power.
01:10:35Shift every stride.
01:10:37Let their footing slip.
01:10:39Let their stripes collide.
01:10:42No!
01:10:49Oh, God!
01:10:57No!
01:11:03Oh, please!
01:11:16Get out of here!
01:11:22Please!
01:11:23Come with me!
01:11:24I can't lose another child!
01:11:32No, Mother.
01:11:33I'm staying with my husband.
01:11:43I'm staying with my husband.
01:11:49I'm so proud of you.
01:11:50I'm so proud of you.
01:12:06No!
01:12:08Cover me!
01:12:12I'm so proud of you.
01:12:17Enough, brother.
01:12:19You aren't going to kill me?
01:12:22I just...
01:12:22I don't hate you as much as you seem to hate me.
01:12:26I won't kill you if I don't have to.
01:12:33You're a bigger fool than I thought!
01:12:46Eloise!
01:12:55Mother!
01:13:01Please, we have to do something.
01:13:04There has to be a way!
01:13:10There is.
01:13:12There's something only our magic can only do together.
01:13:16What?
01:13:16Your Arvin magic is supposed to just create opportunity.
01:13:19But you...
01:13:20I've seen you make the impossible possible.
01:13:22I think that's why I'm the golden heir.
01:13:24It was always because of you.
01:13:26What are you saying?
01:13:28I'm saying we can save her.
01:13:30I've seen your magic hatch a dove of living gold.
01:13:34Come on, Mom!
01:13:41Oh, Mother!
01:13:43Don't fuss over me.
01:13:45Where is your brother?
01:13:50What did you do to me?
01:13:52You wanted House Arvin to become the richest great house.
01:13:55Now it's made of riches.
01:14:00The golden heir to King Dante!
01:14:06Stan.
01:14:09Stan.
01:14:10Stan.
01:14:11I don't want your stupid crown.
01:14:12You want a ruler?
01:14:13Talk to my mother-in-law.
01:14:15I'm going home with my wife.
01:14:19Are you ready?
01:14:22Are you ready?
01:14:28Of course.
01:14:48From now on, no more lies, okay?
01:14:53I'll go back to being your good, honest husband.
01:14:57I'd like that.
01:15:03If we're being honest, I've got a secret of my own.
01:15:08What's that?
01:15:12Really?
01:15:13All this time, I thought you couldn't.
01:15:16I've got the best of luck.
01:15:18I've got the best of luck.
01:15:18I've got the best of luck.
01:15:19I've got the best of luck.
01:15:22I've got the best of luck.
01:15:22I've got the best of luck.
01:15:22I've got the best of luck.
01:15:22I've got the best of luck.
01:15:23I've got the best of luck.
01:15:23I've got the best of luck.
01:15:24I've got the best of luck.
01:15:24I've got the best of luck.
01:15:24I've got the best of luck.
01:15:25I've got the best of luck.
01:15:25I've got the best of luck.
01:15:25I've got the best of luck.
01:15:25I've got the best of luck.
01:15:25I've got the best of luck.
