Transcript

00:00:04When I was a toddler, I wandered off and got separated from my family.

00:00:08They didn't find me again until I was ten.

00:00:13Daddy.

00:00:14I'm home.

00:00:17Daddy, Mira's back.

00:00:18She's your real daughter.

00:00:20This is her home, not mine.

00:00:21Now that she's home, no one's going to love me anymore.

00:00:25Don't say that, Leah.

00:00:26You'll always be our precious little princess.

00:00:28As far as I'm cussing, you're the only sister I have.

00:00:34Look, Mira.

00:00:35Father brought this doll back to the market for me yesterday.

00:00:38He said it was the prettiest one there.

00:00:42Mira, if you really like it, I can give it to you.

00:00:45It was a gift from Father, so please, don't snatch it from me and break it.

00:00:49Mira, what do you think you're doing?

00:00:51Leah, don't cry.

00:00:52I'm here.

00:00:53No one will take your doll away.

00:00:54So they loved her harder.

00:00:56The bigger room went to her.

00:00:58The nicer dresses.

00:01:00First pick of every new toy.

00:01:01And every time they turned away,

00:01:03Leah made sure I knew she'd won.

00:01:05And I let her have it all.

00:01:08Now she wants Dragoth.

00:01:12Dragoth is all I have left of my mother.

00:01:14The last hatchling of her bonded dragon.

00:01:16The one they buried with her.

00:01:18My mother was the only one in that house who ever truly loved me.

00:01:22On her deathbed, she held my hand and apologized for every unfairness.

00:01:26And she made me swear to live only for myself.

00:01:28I didn't understand her then.

00:01:30I understand her now.

00:01:33You tamed this dragon for Leah.

00:01:35Of course, Mira won't be able to mount it.

00:01:37You know she'll be heartbroken if she finds out.

00:01:40In the north, who hasn't fallen off a dragon before?

00:01:43Mira will be fine.

00:01:44What if she asks you about it?

00:01:46I'll cook her a nice meal and say some sweet words.

00:01:48You know she can't stay mad at me.

00:01:49I'm already married, Mira.

00:01:51My dragon can only belong to Leah.

00:01:53It's only fair.

00:01:54In the northern highlands, we have a tradition.

00:01:56The groom must tame a wild dragon for his bride as a wedding gift.

00:02:00Three days before our wedding, Garak tamed a dragon and held a feast.

00:02:04Look, that's the wild dragon Garak tamed for Mira.

00:02:06It's so big.

00:02:07Lucky Mira.

00:02:08She'll be the happiest bride in the north.

00:02:12Then suddenly, the dragon's tail snapped up and slammed against my back.

00:02:16I fell off the dragon and nearly passed out from the pain.

00:02:22Even though my eyes were closed, I could hear my brother Kale and Garak talk in low voices.

00:02:28Those were the last heart-shuddering words I heard before I fully passed out.

00:02:31When I awoke again, I sent a letter to the man who's been waiting for me for eight years.

00:02:36The man who ruled the north and had an entire fleet of dragons.

00:02:41Can you tame a dragon for me?

00:02:43I'll marry you.

00:02:51My bones still ached from the pain of getting smacked off the dragon.

00:02:55Every breath felt like a razor sloughing down my windpipe.

00:02:58But I went back to the dragon field anyway.

00:03:01Some things you need to see with your own eyes.

00:03:04Not far from my cabin, I saw Leah with Draegol, the dragon that was supposed to be mine.

00:03:09Dragoth stood calm beneath her, like he's done this a thousand times.

00:03:12No one would guess he was a wild beast.

00:03:15Leah yanked the reins, and Dragoth reared with a roar.

00:03:23Sorry.

00:03:24I was trying to see this fight again.

00:03:26It's a gap, but able to hear from me.

00:03:30It's a lie that we got back to you.

00:03:33But her hands never loosened on the reins.

00:03:36Dragoth lowered his head and pressed his snout to her hand.

00:03:38He had never bound his head for anyone before.

00:03:41Garak trained him well for my sister.

00:03:43Mira, just let Leah have Dragoth.

00:03:45It's not a big deal.

00:03:46I can just tame another dragon for you.

00:03:47I remained silent, trying to suppress the anger that rose inside me.

00:03:51My brother quickly took their side, like he always does.

00:03:54Come on, Mira.

00:03:55We're all family.

00:03:56There's no reason why you can't let Leah have Dragoth.

00:03:59Leah is your sister.

00:04:00Be kind to her.

00:04:02Be kind to Leah.

00:04:03Those were the words I heard over and over again growing up.

00:04:06But this time, I'm done playing nice.

00:04:09They have no idea what Dragoth means to me.

00:04:12When I was a toddler, I wandered off and got separated from my family.

00:04:16They didn't find me again until I was ten.

00:04:20Daddy, I'm home.

00:04:25Daddy, Mira's back.

00:04:26She's your real daughter.

00:04:27This is her home, not mine.

00:04:29Now that she's home, no one's going to love me anymore.

00:04:32Don't say that, Leah.

00:04:34You'll always be our precious little princess.

00:04:36As far as I'm concerned, you're the only sister I have.

00:04:42Look, Mira.

00:04:43Father brought this doll back from the market for me yesterday.

00:04:46He said it was the prettiest one there.

00:04:50Mira, if you really like it, I can give it to you.

00:04:52It was a gift from Father, so please, don't snatch it from me and break it.

00:04:57Mira, what do you think you're doing?

00:04:59Leah, don't cry.

00:05:00I'm here.

00:05:01No one will take your doll away.

00:05:02So they loved her harder.

00:05:04The bigger room went to her.

00:05:06The nicer dresses.

00:05:08First pick of every new toy.

00:05:09And every time they turned away, Leah made sure I knew she'd won.

00:05:13And I let her have it all.

00:05:16Now she wants Dragoth.

00:05:20Dragoth is all I have left of my mother.

00:05:22The last hatchling of her bonded dragon.

00:05:24The one they buried with her.

00:05:26My mother was the only one in that house who ever truly loved me.

00:05:29On her deathbed, she held my hand and apologized for every unfairness.

00:05:34Then she made me swear to live only for myself.

00:05:35I didn't understand her then.

00:05:38I understand her now.

00:05:41Everyone was watching me.

00:05:42They waited for me to get angry.

00:05:44To throw a tantrum or cry.

00:05:46Because that's what always happens.

00:05:48I'd lose to Leah and I'd cry.

00:05:50But this time, I didn't want to do any of that.

00:05:53I raised my hand and held the whip out to Leah with a smile.

00:05:56I didn't expect them to do that.

00:05:57I didn't expect them to do that.

00:06:27I didn't expect them to do that.

00:06:27Isn't that dragon supposed to be Mira's wedding gift from Garret?

00:06:30Yeah.

00:06:31Why is Leah asking for it?

00:06:33This is not our tradition.

00:06:34Mira is so generous.

00:06:36She just gave it to her sister too.

00:06:38Leah's being selfish, if you ask me.

00:06:40The gossip made Leah feel uneasy.

00:06:42She looked at me with anger in her eyes.

00:06:51Garret's jaw tightened.

00:06:52He whispered to me.

00:06:53That's enough for today.

00:06:55I'll make a nice meat stew for us tonight.

00:06:58Don't embarrass Leah in front of everyone.

00:07:01I'm going to take her for a ride on her new dragon.

00:07:04I'll be back later tonight.

00:07:07Come on, Mira.

00:07:09I'll take you home.

00:07:11You're still hurt.

00:07:11Don't stand here too long.

00:07:18Come on, Mira.

00:07:19My brother just wanted me to leave quickly so people can stop watching.

00:07:23My brother and my so-called fiancé,

00:07:25they both know they are wrong for doing this.

00:07:26But they chose to do this to me anyway.

00:07:29I spun around and walked back home.

00:07:32When I looked up, Leah and Garret were already in the air.

00:07:35Seeing them together like real husband and wife,

00:07:36I got the closure I needed.

00:07:38Whatever feelings I had left,

00:07:39they were dead, gone, and buried.

00:07:41It was already midnight when the door finally opened.

00:07:44Cold air swept in, along with the smell of stew.

00:07:47Garret came in and set a pot on the table.

00:07:50I could smell the faint scent of a woman's perfume as he walked in.

00:07:53Lie is no doubt.

00:07:54I know because she bought it from silk merchants.

00:07:56You can't get it here in the north.

00:07:58I lifted the lid.

00:07:59The stew was already mostly eaten.

00:08:00The pot only had a bit of potatoes and carrots left on the bottom.

00:08:03Garrett had taken off his coat and turned his back to me.

00:08:06Leah said the stew came out perfect.

00:08:08She did a taste test for you.

00:08:09Go ahead and have some.

00:08:10I wanted to laugh.

00:08:11He brought me Leah's leftovers and told me she did a taste test.

00:08:14The pot was already cold.

00:08:15He must have been there for a while.

00:08:16For eight years I waited.

00:08:18I waited for him to tame the dragon and marry you.

00:08:20He always sweared to me the north's tradition could not be broken.

00:08:23His dragon would be loyal to me and no one else.

00:08:25I believed him for eight years.

00:08:27Instead, his dragon answered only to Leah.

00:08:29He thought one pot of stew would make me smile again.

00:08:31And I did smile.

00:08:33I smiled at how foolish I had been.

00:08:36I lifted the pot and tossed it onto the ground.

00:08:39The contents splatter everywhere.

00:08:41I don't want Leah's sloppy seconds.

00:08:44Garrett looked at me shocked.

00:08:45He's never seen me like this before.

00:08:46What the hell are you talking about, Mira?

00:08:49You're going to make a scene just because your sister had some of the stew first?

00:08:52I'm talking about us, Garrett.

00:08:54I'm ending our engagement.

00:09:00Finally, seeing that I was not kidding, Garrett's face twisted with anger.

00:09:04What did you just say?

00:09:05Is this fun for you?

00:09:07Are you done putting on an act?

00:09:09You know what?

00:09:10I'm going to leave so you can think about what you did wrong.

00:09:12Once you know why you're wrong, come apologize to me.

00:09:16He turned to go, then stopped at the door.

00:09:19Tomorrow is Leah's birthday feast.

00:09:20You better not come south.

00:09:21Just let her be happy for one day.

00:09:23Can you do that?

00:09:24If this is about the dragon, I'll just get you another one.

00:09:27Without another word, Garret stormed out of the house.

00:09:30I looked at the door Garrett left open.

00:09:33Suddenly, a messenger pigeon flew inside and landed next to me.

00:09:37A note was attached to its legs.

00:09:39From the royal seal, I could already tell who it's from.

00:09:42The dragons are ready.

00:09:44I'll be there tomorrow.

00:09:51The next day was Leah's birthday feast.

00:09:53The tables were full of roast meat and sweet cakes.

00:09:57Many people had turned out for it.

00:09:58When I arrived, Leah stood in the middle of the crowd.

00:10:01She lifted one foot to show off a new pair of boots.

00:10:03The boots were dark brown leather stitched with fine silver thread.

00:10:06Garrett made these for me by hand.

00:10:08Three whole months.

00:10:09He pricked his fingers raw.

00:10:11The crowd laughed and teased her.

00:10:13Garrett stood beside her, smiling.

00:10:15Then how about him marrying you instead?

00:10:23The crowd erupted, loud with disbelief.

00:10:26Oh shit, Mira sounds jealous.

00:10:28Jealousy is never a good look on anyone.

00:10:30Mira, stop with your theatrics.

00:10:32It's not a big deal.

00:10:33I made a pair of boots for Leah, so what?

00:10:35It's her birthday and she's your sister.

00:10:38Garrett's right, Mira.

00:10:39Stop fussing over nothing.

00:10:40I'm fussing over nothing?

00:10:42My fiancé tames a dragon for my sister.

00:10:44Makes shoes for my sister.

00:10:46Makes me eat the leftover soup of my sister.

00:10:48Why would I want to marry a man who's clearly in love with my sister?

00:10:52I told you last night, Garrick.

00:10:53It's over between us.

00:10:55From the corner of my eye, I could see the smile Leah was trying to contain.

00:10:59This is exactly what she wanted and I'm giving it to her.

00:11:02End our engagement?

00:11:03We've been together for eight years.

00:11:04Who's going to want to marry you if not me?

00:11:06Who I marry is none of your business.

00:11:08He glanced toward the crowd.

00:11:09Two men stepped out.

00:11:11They walked to the fire pit at the center.

00:11:13They scattered the burning coals across the ground.

00:11:16Find them.

00:11:17You want to break the engagement?

00:11:19It is the most sacred promise there is.

00:11:21You know our rules.

00:11:22To break it, you cross the coals barefoot.

00:11:28The room suddenly went so silent you could hear a pin drop.

00:11:31Everyone looked at me, watching for my next move.

00:11:33Even I didn't think Garrett would invoke the old way.

00:11:35I said nothing.

00:11:36Then without another beat of hesitation, I took off my shoes.

00:11:39I walked to the edge of the coals.

00:11:41I could hear a few people suck in their breaths.

00:11:43The path was narrow and the heat baked my skin.

00:11:47I lifted my right foot and held it over the fire.

00:11:50The pain nearly made me give up.

00:11:52But then I thought of all the lies he'd fed me over the past eight years.

00:11:55My resolve only grew stronger.

00:11:57Mira, stop.

00:11:58Just apologize to Garrett and we can pretend none of this ever happened.

00:12:02Searing pain shot up from the sole of my foot.

00:12:04My body swayed and I almost fell.

00:12:06But I clenched my teeth.

00:12:07I forced out a second step, then a third.

00:12:09Each step drove the pain deeper.

00:12:10Still I bit down and made no sound.

00:12:12Garrett's gaze grew colder with every step I took.

00:12:15Garrett, stop this.

00:12:16Her feet are burned through the flesh.

00:12:18It has gone too far.

00:12:19Too far?

00:12:20She's the one who wants to break off our engagement.

00:12:22This is the consequence.

00:12:24On the last step, I pitched forward and nearly fainted.

00:12:27But I had crossed it.

00:12:29The vow was broken.

00:12:31Whispers spread through the people.

00:12:33Mira really walked across burning coal.

00:12:35How could she endure something like this?

00:12:37She made no sound.

00:12:38She truly does not want it.

00:12:40Everyone looked at Garrett in disbelief.

00:12:42What is he going to say now?

00:12:44He rushed towards me, face twisted in anger.

00:12:46What tricks are you playing now, huh?

00:12:48I'll give you one last chance, Mira.

00:12:50Apologize to me in front of everyone and I'll take you back.

00:12:52Everyone in the North knows you've been with me for eight years.

00:12:55No man is going to want you now.

00:12:56Says who?

00:13:07I, Theron Dragomu, Prince of the North, come to ask Mira for her hand in marriage.

00:13:18When I was a toddler, I wandered off and got separated from my family.

00:13:22They didn't find me again until I was ten.

00:13:27Daddy, I'm home.

00:13:31Daddy, Mira's back.

00:13:32She's your real daughter.

00:13:33This is her home, not mine.

00:13:35Now that she's home, no one's going to love me anymore.

00:13:38Don't say that, Leah.

00:13:40You'll always be our precious little princess.

00:13:42As far as I'm concerned, you're the only sister I have.

00:13:48Look, Mira.

00:13:49Father brought this doll back from the market for me yesterday.

00:13:52He said it was the prettiest one there.

00:13:55Mira, if you really like it, I can give it to you.

00:13:59It was a gift from Father, so please, don't snatch it from me and break it.

00:14:02Mira, what do you think you're doing?

00:14:05Leah, don't cry.

00:14:06I'm here.

00:14:07No one will take your doll away.

00:14:08So they loved her harder.

00:14:10The bigger room went to her.

00:14:12The nicer dresses.

00:14:13First pick of every new toy.

00:14:15And every time they turned away, Leah made sure I knew she'd won.

00:14:19And I let her have it all.

00:14:21Now she wants Dragoth.

00:14:26Dragoth is all I have left of my mother.

00:14:28The last hatchling of her bonded dragon.

00:14:30The one they buried with her.

00:14:32My mother was the only one in that house who ever truly loved me.

00:14:35On her deathbed, she held my hand and apologized for every unfairness.

00:14:39Then she made me swear to live only for myself.

00:14:42I didn't understand her then.

00:14:44I understand her now.

00:14:47You tamed this dragon for Leah.

00:14:49Of course, Mira won't be able to mount it.

00:14:51You know she'll be heartbroken if she finds out.

00:14:54In the North, who hasn't fallen off a dragon before?

00:14:56Mira will be fine.

00:14:58If she asks you about it.

00:15:00I'll cook her a nice meal and say some sweet words.

00:15:02You know she can't stay mad at me.

00:15:04I'm already marrying, Mira.

00:15:05My dragon can only belong to Leah.

00:15:07It's only fair.

00:15:08In the northern highlands, we have a tradition.

00:15:10The girl must tame a wild dragon for his bride as a wedding gift.

00:15:14Three days before our wedding,

00:15:16Garak tamed a dragon and held a feast.

00:15:17Look, that's the wild dragon Garak tamed for Mira.

00:15:20It's so big.

00:15:21Lucky, Mira.

00:15:21She'll be the happiest bride in the North.

00:15:26Then suddenly, the dragon's tail snapped up and slammed against my back.

00:15:30I fell off the dragon and nearly passed out from the pain.

00:15:36Even though my eyes were closed,

00:15:37I could hear my brother Kale and Garak talk in low voices.

00:15:42Those were the last heart-shuddering words I heard before I fully passed out.

00:15:45When I awoke again,

00:15:46I sent a letter to the man who's been waiting for me for eight years.

00:15:50The man who grew in the North and had an entire team of dragons.

00:15:55Can you tame a dragon, honey?

00:15:56I'll marry you.

00:16:04My bones still ached from the pain of getting smacked off the dragon.

00:16:08Every breath felt like a razor slussing down my windpipe.

00:16:12But I went back to the dragon field anyway.

00:16:14Some things you need to see with your own eyes.

00:16:17Not far from my cabin,

00:16:19I saw Leah with Draegor,

00:16:20the dragon that was supposed to be mine.

00:16:22Dragoth stood calm beneath her,

00:16:24like he's done this a thousand times.

00:16:26No one would guess he was a wild beast.

00:16:29Leah yanked the reins,

00:16:31and Dragoth reared with a roar.

00:16:37Sorry, Mary.

00:16:38This dragon seems to like me more.

00:16:40So Garak gave it to me.

00:16:44If you don't mind, I'll give it back to you.

00:16:47But her hands never loosened on the reins.

00:16:49Dragdoth lowered his head and pressed his snout to her hand.

00:16:52He had never bound his head for anyone before.

00:16:54Garak trained him well for my sister.

00:16:56Mira, just let Leah have Dragdoth.

00:16:59It's not a big deal.

00:17:00I can just tame another dragon for you.

00:17:01I remained silent,

00:17:02trying to suppress the anger that rose inside me.

00:17:05My brother quickly took their side,

00:17:06like he always does.

00:17:08Come on, Mira.

00:17:09We're all family.

00:17:10There's no reason why you can't let Leah have Dragdoth.

00:17:13Leah is your sister.

00:17:14To be kind to you.

00:17:17Those were words I heard over and over again growing up.

00:17:20This time, I'm done playing with us.

00:17:23They have no idea what Dragdoth meant to me.

00:17:26When I was a toddler,

00:17:27I wandered off and got separated from my family.

00:17:29They didn't find me again until I was ten.

00:17:34Daddy.

00:17:36I'm home.

00:17:38Daddy, Mira's back.

00:17:40She's your real daughter.

00:17:41This is her home, not mine.

00:17:43Now that she's home,

00:17:44no one's going to love me anymore.

00:17:46Don't say that, Leah.

00:17:47You'll always be our precious little princess.

00:17:50As far as I'm concerned,

00:17:51you're the only sister I have.

00:17:56Look, Mira.

00:17:57Father brought this doll back from the market for me yesterday.

00:17:59He said it was the prettiest one there.

00:18:03Mira,

00:18:04if you really like it,

00:18:05I can give it to you.

00:18:06It was a gift from Father,

00:18:08so please,

00:18:08don't snatch it from me and break it.

00:18:10Mira,

00:18:11what do you think you're doing?

00:18:12Leah,

00:18:13don't cry.

00:18:14I'm here.

00:18:14No one will take your doll away.

00:18:16So they loved her harder.

00:18:18The bigger room went to her.

00:18:20The nicer dresses.

00:18:21First pick of every new toy.

00:18:23And every time they turned away,

00:18:25Leah made sure I knew she'd won.

00:18:27And I let her have it all.

00:18:29Now she wants Dragoth.

00:18:33Dragoth is all I have left of my mother.

00:18:36The last hatchling of her bonded dragon.

00:18:37The one they buried with her.

00:18:40My mother was the only one in that house

00:18:41who ever truly loved me.

00:18:43On her deathbed,

00:18:44she held my hand

00:18:45and apologized for every unfairness.

00:18:47Then she made me swear

00:18:48to live only for myself.

00:18:50I didn't understand her then.

00:18:52I understand her now.

00:18:54Everyone was watching me.

00:18:56They waited for me to get angry,

00:18:58to throw a tantrum or cry.

00:19:00Because that's what always happens.

00:19:01I'd lose to Leah and I'd cry.

00:19:04But this time,

00:19:05I didn't want to do any of that.

00:19:07I raised my hand

00:19:08and held the whip out to Leah with a smile.

00:19:10They clearly didn't expect me to do that.

00:19:12Sure thing.

00:19:13A good dragon deserves a good whip.

00:19:16Garrick gave him to you, so

00:19:17keep him.

00:19:18Leah's smile froze on her face.

00:19:20Her hand stopped mid-air,

00:19:22unsure whether to take it or not.

00:19:23Kale shot a nervous glance at Garrick.

00:19:26Seeing my reaction,

00:19:27Garrick's face turned cold with anger.

00:19:29Finally, Leah took the whip from me.

00:19:33My lack of temper must have surprised Leah.

00:19:35She probably expected me to be a senior.

00:19:37Then she can pretend to be hurt

00:19:39and win the sympathy of everyone.

00:19:40Wait.

00:19:41But isn't that dragon supposed to be

00:19:42Mira's wedding gift for Garrick?

00:19:44No.

00:19:45Why is Leah asking for it?

00:19:47This is not our tradition.

00:19:48Leah is so generous

00:19:49that she just gave it to her solution to her.

00:19:51Leah's being selfish if you ask me.

00:19:54The gossip made Leah feel uneasy.

00:19:56She looked at me with anger in her eyes.

00:20:04Garrick's jaw tightened.

00:20:06He whispered to me,

00:20:07That's enough for today.

00:20:08I'll make a nice meat stew for us tonight.

00:20:11Don't embarrass Leah in front of everyone.

00:20:15I'm going to take her for a ride on her new dragon.

00:20:18I'll be back later tonight.

00:20:21Come on, Mira.

00:20:22I'll take you home.

00:20:24You're still hurt.

00:20:25Don't stay in here tomorrow.

00:20:31Come on, Mira.

00:20:33My brother just wanted me to leave quickly

00:20:35so people can stop watching me.

00:20:36My brother and my so-called fiancé,

00:20:38they both know they are wrong for doing this,

00:20:40but they chose to do this to me anyway.

00:20:43I spun around and walked back home.

00:20:45When I looked up,

00:20:47Leah and Garrett were already in the air.

00:20:48Seeing them together like real husband and wife,

00:20:50I got the closure I needed.

00:20:51Whatever feelings I had left,

00:20:53they were dead, gone, and buried.

00:20:55It was already midnight when the door finally opened.

00:20:58Cold air swept in,

00:20:59along with the smell of stew.

00:21:01Garrett came in and set a pot on the table.

00:21:03I could smell the faint scent of a woman's perfume as he walked in.

00:21:07Lie is no doubt.

00:21:08I know because she bought it from silk merchants.

00:21:10You can't get it here in the north.

00:21:11I lifted the lid.

00:21:13The stew was already mostly eaten.

00:21:14The pot only had a bit of potatoes and carrots left on the bottom.

00:21:17Garrett had taken off his coat and turned his back to me.

00:21:19Leah said the stew came out perfect.

00:21:21She did a taste test for you.

00:21:23Go ahead and have some.

00:21:24I wanted to laugh.

00:21:25He brought me Leah's leftovers and told me she did a taste test.

00:21:28The pot was already cold.

00:21:29He must have been there for a while.

00:21:31For eight years I waited.

00:21:32I waited for him to tame the dragon and marry me.

00:21:34He always sweared to me the north's tradition could not be broken.

00:21:37His dragon would be loyal to me and no one else.

00:21:39I believed him for eight years.

00:21:41Instead, his dragon answered only to Leah.

00:21:43He thought one pot of stew would make me smile again.

00:21:45And I did smile.

00:21:47I smiled at how foolish I had been.

00:21:50I lifted the pot and tossed it onto the ground.

00:21:52The contents splatter everywhere.

00:21:55I don't want Leah's sloppy seconds.

00:21:57Garrett looked at me shocked.

00:21:59He's never seen me like this before.

00:22:00What the hell are you talking about, Mira?

00:22:02You're going to make a scene just because your sister had some of the stew first?

00:22:06I'm talking about us, Garrett.

00:22:08I'm ending our engagement.

00:22:13Finally, seeing that I was not kidding, Garrett's face twisted with anger.

00:22:17What did you just say?

00:22:19Is this fun for you?

00:22:20Are you done putting on an act?

00:22:23You know what?

00:22:23I'm going to leave so you can think about what you did wrong.

00:22:26Once you know why you're wrong, come apologize to me.

00:22:29He turned to go, then stopped at the door.

00:22:32Tomorrow is Leah's birthday feast.

00:22:34You better not come sowing.

00:22:35Just let her be happy for one day.

00:22:37Can you do that?

00:22:38This is about the dragon.

00:22:39I'll just get you another one.

00:22:41Without another word, Garrett stormed out of the house.

00:22:44I looked at the door Garrett left open.

00:22:47Suddenly, a messenger pigeon flew inside and landed next to me.

00:22:51A note was attached to its legs.

00:22:53From the royal seal, I could already tell who it's from.

00:22:56The dragons are ready.

00:22:58I'll be there tomorrow.

00:23:05The next day was Leah's birthday feast.

00:23:07The tables were full of roast meat and sweet cakes.

00:23:10Many people had turned out for it.

00:23:12When I arrived, Leah stood in the middle of the crowd.

00:23:14She lifted one foot to show off a new pair of boots.

00:23:17The boots were dark brown leather stitched with fine silver thread.

00:23:20Garrett made these for me by hand.

00:23:22Three whole months.

00:23:23He pricked his fingers raw.

00:23:25The crowd laughed and teased her.

00:23:27Garrett stood beside her, smiling.

00:23:29Then how about you marry him instead?

00:23:36The crowd erupted, loud with disbelief.

00:23:39Oh shit, Meera sounds jealous.

00:23:42Jealousy is never a good look on anyone.

00:23:44Meera, stop with your theatrics.

00:23:45It's not a big deal.

00:23:47I made a pair of boots for Leah, so what?

00:23:49It's her birthday and she's your sister.

00:23:51Garrett's right, Meera.

00:23:52Stop fussing over nothing.

00:23:54Fussing over nothing?

00:23:55My fiancé tames a dragon for my sister.

00:23:58Makes shoes for my sister.

00:24:00Makes me eat the leftover soup of my sister.

00:24:02Why would I want to marry a man who's clearly in love with my sister?

00:24:06I told you last night, Garrick.

00:24:07It's over between us.

00:24:09From the corner of my eye, I could see the smile Leah was trying to contain.

00:24:12This is exactly what she wanted, and I'm giving it to her.

00:24:15And our engagement?

00:24:16We've been together for eight years.

00:24:18Who's going to want to marry you if not me?

00:24:20Who I marry is none of your business.

00:24:22He glanced toward the crowd.

00:24:23Two men stepped out.

00:24:24They walked to the fire pit at the center.

00:24:27They scattered the burning coals across the ground.

00:24:30Fine then.

00:24:31You want to break the engagement?

00:24:33It is the most sacred promise there is.

00:24:35You know our rules.

00:24:36To break it, you cross the coals barefoot.

00:24:41The room suddenly went so silent you could hear a pin drop.

00:24:44Everyone looked at me, watching for my next move.

00:24:47Even I didn't think Garrett would invoke the old way.

00:24:49I said nothing.

00:24:50Then without another beat of hesitation, I took off my shoes.

00:24:53I walked to the edge of the coals.

00:24:55I could hear a few people suck in their breaths.

00:24:57The path was narrow, and the heat baked my skin.

00:25:01I lifted my right foot and held it over the fire.

00:25:04The pain nearly made me give up.

00:25:05But then I thought of all the lies he'd fed me over the past eight years.

00:25:09My resolve only grew stronger.

00:25:11Mira, stop.

00:25:12Just apologize to Garrett, and we can pretend none of this ever happened.

00:25:16Searing pain shot up from the sole of my foot.

00:25:18My body swayed, and I almost fell.

00:25:19But I clenched my teeth.

00:25:20I forced out a second step, then a third.

00:25:22Each step drove the pain deeper.

00:25:24Still, I bit down and made no sound.

00:25:26Garrett's gaze grew colder with every step I took.

00:25:29Garrett, stop this.

00:25:30Her feet are burned through the flesh.

00:25:32It has gone too far.

00:25:33Too far?

00:25:34She's the one who wants to break off our engagement.

00:25:36This is the consequence.

00:25:38On the last step, I pitched forward and nearly fainted.

00:25:41But I had crossed it.

00:25:43The vow was broken.

00:25:44Whispers spread through the people.

00:25:46Mira really walked across burning coal?

00:25:49How could she endure something like this?

00:25:51She made no sound.

00:25:52She truly does not want it.

00:25:54Everyone looked at Garrett in disbelief.

00:25:56What is he going to say now?

00:25:57He rushed towards me, face twisted in anger.

00:26:00What tricks are you playing now, huh?

00:26:02I'll give you one last chance, Mira.

00:26:04Apologize to me in front of everyone and I'll take you back.

00:26:06Everyone in the North knows you've been with me for eight years.

00:26:08No man is going to want you now.

00:26:10Says who?

00:26:20I, Theron Dragomu, Prince of the North, come to ask Mira for her hand in marriage.

00:26:32When I was a toddler, I wandered off and got separated from my family.

00:26:36They didn't find me again until I was ten.

00:26:40Daddy.

00:26:42I'm home.

00:26:44Daddy, Mira's back.

00:26:46She's your real daughter.

00:26:47This is her home, not mine.

00:26:49Now that she's home, no one's going to love me anymore.

00:26:52Don't say that, Leah.

00:26:53You'll always be our precious little princess.

00:26:56As far as I'm concerned, you're the only sister I have.

00:27:02Look, Mira.

00:27:03Father brought this doll back to the market for me yesterday.

00:27:05He said it was the prettiest one there.

00:27:10Mira, if you really like it, I can give it to you.

00:27:12It was a gift from Father, so please don't snatch it from me and break it.

00:27:16Mira, what is that you're doing?

00:27:18Mira, don't cry.

00:27:20I'm here.

00:27:20No one will take your doll away.

00:27:22So they loved her harder.

00:27:24The bigger room went to her.

00:27:26The nicer dresses.

00:27:27First pick of every new toy.

00:27:29And every time they turned away,

00:27:31Leah made sure I knew she'd won.

00:27:33And I let her have it all.

00:27:35Now she wants Dragoth.

00:27:39Dragoth is all I have left of my mother.

00:27:42The last hatchling of her bonded dragon.

00:27:44The one they buried with her.

00:27:46My mother was the only one in that house who ever truly loved me.

00:27:49On her deathbed, she held my hand and apologized for every unfairness.

00:27:53Then she made me swear to live only for myself.

00:27:56I didn't understand her then.

00:27:58I understand her now.

00:28:01You tamed this dragon for Leah.

00:28:03Of course Mira won't be able to mount it.

00:28:05You know she'll be heartbroken if she finds out.

00:28:08In the north, who hasn't fallen off a dragon before?

00:28:10Mira will be fine.

00:28:11What if she asks you about it?

00:28:13I'll cook her a nice meal and say some sweet words.

00:28:16You know she can't stay mad at me.

00:28:17I'm already marrying, Mira.

00:28:19My dragon can only belong to Leah.

00:28:21It's only fair.

00:28:22In the northern highlands, we have a tradition.

00:28:24The groom must tame a wild dragon for his bride as a wedding gift.

00:28:28Three days before our wedding,

00:28:29Garak tamed a dragon and held a feast.

00:28:31Look!

00:28:32That's the wild dragon Garak tamed for Mira.

00:28:34It's so big!

00:28:34Lucky Mira.

00:28:35Mira, she'll be the happiest bride in the north.

00:28:39Then suddenly, the dragon's tail snapped up and slammed against my back.

00:28:44I fell off the dragon and nearly passed out from the pain.

00:28:49Even though my eyes were closed,

00:28:51I could hear my brother Kale and Garak talk in low voices.

00:28:56Those were the last heart-sheddering words I heard before I fully passed out.

00:28:59When I awoke again,

00:29:00I sent a letter to the man who's been waiting for me for eight years.

00:29:03The man who drove the north and had an entire fleet of dragons.

00:29:08Can you tame a dragon for me?

00:29:10I'll marry you.

00:29:15I'll marry you.

00:29:18My bones still ached from the pain of getting smacked off the dragon.

00:29:22Every breath felt like a razor slicing down my windpipe.

00:29:26But I went back to the dragon field anyway.

00:29:28Some things you need to see with your own eyes.

00:29:31Not far from my cabin,

00:29:32I saw Leah with Draegol,

00:29:34the dragon that was supposed to be mine.

00:29:36Dragoth stood calm beneath her,

00:29:38like he's done this a thousand times.

00:29:40No one would guess he was a wild beast.

00:29:43Leah yanked the reins,

00:29:44and Dragoth reared with a roar.

00:29:50Sorry, Mira.

00:29:52This dragon seems to like me more.

00:29:54So Gareth gave him to me instead.

00:29:58If you mind, I can give it back to you.

00:30:00But her hands never loosened on the reins.

00:30:03Dragdoth lowered his head and pressed his snout to her hand.

00:30:06He had never bound his head for anyone before.

00:30:08Garak trained him well for my sister.

00:30:10Mira, just let Leah have Dragdoth.

00:30:12It's not a big deal.

00:30:13I can just tame another dragon.

00:30:15I remain silent,

00:30:16trying to suppress the anger that rose inside me.

00:30:18My brother quickly took her side,

00:30:20like he always does.

00:30:22Come on, Mira.

00:30:23We're all family.

00:30:24There's no reason why you can't let Leah have Dragdoth.

00:30:27Leah is your sister.

00:30:28Be kind to her.

00:30:29Be kind to Leah?

00:30:30Those were the words I heard over and over again growing up.

00:30:34But this time, I'm done playing nice.

00:30:36They have no idea what Dragdoth means to me.

00:30:40When I was a toddler, I wandered off and got separated from my family.

00:30:43They didn't find me again until I was ten.

00:30:48Daddy.

00:30:49I'm home.

00:30:51Daddy.

00:30:52Mira's back.

00:30:54She's your real daughter.

00:30:55This is her home, not mine.

00:30:56Now that she's home, no one's going to love me anymore.

00:31:00Don't say that, Mira.

00:31:01You'll always be our precious little princess.

00:31:03As far as I'm concerned,

00:31:05you're the only sister I have.

00:31:10Look, Mira.

00:31:11Father brought this doll back from the market for me yesterday.

00:31:13He said it was the prettiest one.

00:31:17Mira,

00:31:18if you really like it,

00:31:19I can give it to you.

00:31:20It's a big from father.

00:31:21So please,

00:31:22don't snatch it from me and break it.

00:31:24Mira,

00:31:25what do you think you're doing?

00:31:26Mira,

00:31:27don't cry.

00:31:27I'm here.

00:31:28No one will take your doll away.

00:31:30So they loved her harder.

00:31:32The bigger room led to her.

00:31:33The nicer dresses.

00:31:35First pick of every new toy.

00:31:37And every time they turned away,

00:31:38Mira made sure I knew she'd won.

00:31:41And I let her have it all.

00:31:43Now she wants Dragoth.

00:31:47Dragoth is all I have left of my mother.

00:31:49The last hatchling of her bonded dragon.

00:31:51The one they buried with me.

00:31:53My mother was the only one in that house

00:31:55who ever truly loved me.

00:31:57On her deathbed,

00:31:58she held my hand

00:31:59and apologized for every unfairness.

00:32:01Then she made me swear to live only for myself.

00:32:04I didn't understand her then.

00:32:06I understand her now.

00:32:08Everyone was watching me.

00:32:10They waited for me to get angry,

00:32:11to throw a tantrum or cry.

00:32:13Because that's what always happens.

00:32:15I'd lose to Leah and I'd cry.

00:32:18But this time,

00:32:19I didn't want to do any of that.

00:32:21I raised my hand

00:32:22and held the whip out to Leah with a smile.

00:32:23They clearly didn't expect me to do that.

00:32:26Sure thing.

00:32:27A good dragon deserves a good whip.

00:32:29Garrick gave him to you,

00:32:31so keep him.

00:32:32Leah's smile froze on her face.

00:32:34Her hand stopped mid-air,

00:32:35unsure whether to take it or not.

00:32:37Kale shot a nervous glance at Garrick.

00:32:39Seeing my reaction,

00:32:41Garrick's face turned cold with anger.

00:32:43Finally,

00:32:44Leah took the whip for me.

00:32:46Thank you, Mira.

00:32:47My lack of temper must have surprised Leah.

00:32:49She probably expected me to make a scene.

00:32:51Then she can pretend to be hurt

00:32:52and win the sympathy of everyone.

00:32:54Wait,

00:32:55but isn't that dragon supposed to be

00:32:56Mira's wedding gift from Garrick?

00:32:58Yeah.

00:32:59Why is Leah asking for it?

00:33:00This is not our tradition.

00:33:02Mira is so generous.

00:33:03She just gave it to her sister too.

00:33:05Leah's being selfish if you ask me.

00:33:07The gossip made Leah feel uneasy.

00:33:09She looked at me with anger in her eyes.

00:33:18Garrick's jaw tightened.

00:33:20He whispered to me.

00:33:21That's enough for today.

00:33:22I'll make a nice meat stew for us tonight.

00:33:25Don't embarrass Leah in front of everyone.

00:33:29I'm going to take her for a ride on her new dragon.

00:33:31I'll be back later tonight.

00:33:35Come on, Mira.

00:33:36I'll take you home.

00:33:38You're still hurt.

00:33:39Don't stand here too long.

00:33:45Come on, Mira.

00:33:47My brother just wanted me to leave quickly

00:33:48so people can stop watching.

00:33:50My brother and my so-called fiancé,

00:33:52they both know they are wrong for doing this,

00:33:54but they chose to do this to me anyway.

00:33:57I spun around and walked back home.

00:33:59When I looked up,

00:34:00Leah and Garrett were already in the air.

00:34:02Seeing them together like real husband and wife,

00:34:04I got the closure I needed.

00:34:05Whatever feelings I had left,

00:34:07they were dead,

00:34:07gone,

00:34:08and buried.

00:34:09It was already midnight

00:34:10when the door finally opened.

00:34:11Cold air swept in,

00:34:13along with the smell of stew.

00:34:14Garrett came in

00:34:15and set a pot on the table.

00:34:17I could smell the faint scent

00:34:18of a woman's perfume

00:34:19as he walked in.

00:34:20Lie is no doubt.

00:34:22I know because she bought it

00:34:23from silk merchants.

00:34:24You can't get it here in the north.

00:34:25I lifted the lid.

00:34:26The stew was already mostly eaten.

00:34:28The pot only had a bit of potatoes

00:34:29and carrots left on the bottom.

00:34:31Garrett had taken off his coat

00:34:32and turned his back to me.

00:34:33Leah said the stew came out perfect.

00:34:35She did a taste test for you.

00:34:36Go ahead and have some.

00:34:37I wanted to laugh.

00:34:39He brought me Leah's leftovers

00:34:40and told me she did a taste test.

00:34:41The pot was already cold.

00:34:43He must have been there for a while.

00:34:45For eight years I waited.

00:34:46I waited for him to tame the dragon

00:34:47and marry me.

00:34:48He always sweared to me

00:34:49the north's tradition

00:34:50could not be broken.

00:34:51His dragon would be loyal to me

00:34:52and no one else.

00:34:53I believed him for eight years.

00:34:55Instead,

00:34:55his dragon answered only to Leah.

00:34:57He thought one pot of stew

00:34:58would make me smile again.

00:34:59And I did smile.

00:35:01I smiled at how foolish I had been.

00:35:03I lifted the pot

00:35:04and tossed it onto the ground.

00:35:06The contents splatter everywhere.

00:35:09I don't want Leah's sloppy seconds.

00:35:11Garrett looked at me shocked.

00:35:12He's never seen me like this before.

00:35:14What the hell are you talking about, Mira?

00:35:16You're going to make a scene

00:35:17just because your sister

00:35:18had some of the stew first?

00:35:19I'm talking about us, Garrett.

00:35:22I'm ending our engagement.

00:35:27Finally,

00:35:28seeing that I was not kidding,

00:35:30Garrett's face twisted with anger.

00:35:31What did you just say?

00:35:33Is this fun for you?

00:35:34Are you done putting on an act?

00:35:36You know what?

00:35:37I'm going to leave

00:35:38so you can think about

00:35:39what you did wrong.

00:35:40Once you know why you're wrong,

00:35:41come apologize to me.

00:35:43He turned to go

00:35:44and stopped at the door.

00:35:46Tomorrow is Leah's birthday feast.

00:35:48You better not come south.

00:35:49Just let her be happy for one day.

00:35:50Can you do that?

00:35:52If this is about the dragon,

00:35:53I'll just get you another one.

00:35:54Without another word,

00:35:56Garrett stormed out of the house.

00:35:58I looked at the door

00:35:59Garrett left open.

00:36:00Suddenly,

00:36:01a messenger pigeon flew inside

00:36:03and landed next to me.

00:36:04A note was attached to its legs.

00:36:06From the royal seal,

00:36:08I could already tell who it's from.

00:36:10The dragons are ready.

00:36:12I'll be there tomorrow.

00:36:18The next day was Leah's birthday feast.

00:36:21The tables were full of roast meat

00:36:23and sweet cakes.

00:36:24Many people had turned out for it.

00:36:26When I arrived,

00:36:27Leah stood in the middle of the crowd.

00:36:28She lifted one foot

00:36:29to show off a new pair of boots.

00:36:31The boots were dark brown leather

00:36:32stitched with fine silver thread.

00:36:34Garrett made these three by hand.

00:36:36In three whole months,

00:36:37he pricked his fingers raw.

00:36:39The crowd laughed and teased her.

00:36:40Garrett stood beside him,

00:36:42smiling.

00:36:42And how about you marry him instead?

00:36:50The crowd erupted loud with disbelief.

00:36:53Oh shit.

00:36:54Mira sounds jealous.

00:36:55Jealousy is never a good look on anyone.

00:36:57Mira,

00:36:58stop with your theatrics.

00:36:59It's not a big deal.

00:37:01I made a pair of boots for Leah,

00:37:02so what?

00:37:03It's her birthday

00:37:04and she's your sister.

00:37:05Garrett's right, Mira.

00:37:06Stop fussing over nothing.

00:37:08Fussing over nothing?

00:37:09My fiance tames a dragon for my sister,

00:37:12makes shoes for my sister,

00:37:13makes me eat the leftover soup of my sister.

00:37:16Why would I want to marry a man

00:37:17who's clearly in love with my sister?

00:37:19I told you last night, Garrett.

00:37:21It's over between us.

00:37:22From the corner of my eye,

00:37:24I could see the smile Leah was trying to contain.

00:37:26This is exactly what she wanted

00:37:28and I'm giving it to her.

00:37:29End our engagement?

00:37:30We've been together for eight years.

00:37:32Who's going to want to marry you if not me?

00:37:33Who I marry is none of your business.

00:37:35He glanced toward the crowd.

00:37:37Two men stepped out.

00:37:38They walked to the fire pit at the center.

00:37:40They scattered the burning coals across the ground.

00:37:44Fine then.

00:37:45You want to break the engagement?

00:37:47It is the most sacred promise there is.

00:37:48You know our rules.

00:37:50To break it,

00:37:51you cross the coals barefoot.

00:37:55The room suddenly went so silent

00:37:57you could hear a pin drop.

00:37:58Everyone looked at me,

00:37:59watching for my next move.

00:38:01Even I didn't think Garrett would invoke the old way.

00:38:03I said nothing.

00:38:04Then without another beat of hesitation,

00:38:05I took off my shoes.

00:38:06I walked to the edge of the coals.

00:38:08I could hear a few people sucking their breaths.

00:38:11The path was narrow

00:38:12and the heat baked my skin.

00:38:15I lifted my right foot

00:38:16and held it over the fire.

00:38:17The pain nearly made me give up.

00:38:19But then I thought of all the lies

00:38:21he'd fed me over the past eight years.

00:38:23My resolve only grew stronger.

00:38:25Mira, stop!

00:38:26Just apologize to Garrick

00:38:27and we can pretend none of this ever happened.

00:38:29Searing pain shot up from the sole of my foot.

00:38:32My body swayed and I almost fell.

00:38:33But I clenched my teeth.

00:38:34I forced out a second step,

00:38:35then a third.

00:38:36Each step drove the pain deeper.

00:38:38Still I bit down and made no sound.

00:38:40Garrick's gaze grew colder

00:38:41with every step I took.

00:38:43Garrick, stop this.

00:38:44Her feet are burned through the flesh.

00:38:45It has gone too far.

00:38:47Too far?

00:38:48She's the one who wants to break off our engagement.

00:38:50This is the consequence.

00:38:51On the last step,

00:38:52I pitched forward and nearly fainted.

00:38:55But I had crossed it.

00:38:57The vow was broken.

00:38:58Whispers spread through the people.

00:39:00Mira really want to cross burning coal?

00:39:02How could she endure something like this?

00:39:05She made no sound.

00:39:06She truly does not want him.

00:39:08Everyone looked at Garrett in disbelief.

00:39:09What is he going to say now?

00:39:11He rushed towards me,

00:39:13face twisted in anger.

00:39:14What tricks are you playing now, huh?

00:39:16I'll give you one last chance, Mira.

00:39:18Apologize to me in front of everyone

00:39:19and I'll take you back.

00:39:20Everyone in the North knows

00:39:21you've been with me for eight years.

00:39:22No man is going to want you now.

00:39:24Says who?

00:39:35I, Theron Dragomu,

00:39:37Prince of the North,

00:39:38come to ask Mira for her hand in marriage.

00:39:46When I was a toddler,

00:39:47I wandered off and got separated from my family.

00:39:49They didn't find me again until I was ten.

00:39:54Daddy, I'm home.

00:39:57Daddy, Mira's back.

00:40:00She's your real daughter.

00:40:01This is her home, not mine.

00:40:03Now that she's home,

00:40:04no one's going to love me anymore.

00:40:06Don't say that, Leah.

00:40:07You'll always be our precious little princess.

00:40:09As far as I'm concerned,

00:40:11you're the only sister I love.

00:40:16Look, Mira,

00:40:17your father brought this doll back

00:40:18from the market for the yesterday.

00:40:19He said it was the prettiest one there.

00:40:23Mira,

00:40:24if you really like it,

00:40:25I can give it to you.

00:40:26You're a gift from father,

00:40:27so please,

00:40:28don't snatch it from me and break it.

00:40:30Mira,

00:40:31let me see what you're doing.

00:40:32Leah, don't cry.

00:40:33I'm here.

00:40:34No one will take your doll away.

00:40:36So they loved her harder.

00:40:38The bigger room went to her.

00:40:39The nicer dresses.

00:40:41First pick of every new toy.

00:40:43And every time they turned away,

00:40:45Leah made sure I knew she'd won.

00:40:47And I let her have it all.

00:40:49Now she wants Dragoth.

00:40:53Dragoth is all I have left of my mother.

00:40:55The last hatchling of her bonded dragon.

00:40:57The one they buried with her.

00:40:59My mother was the only one in that house

00:41:01who ever truly loved me.

00:41:03On her deathbed,

00:41:04she held my hand

00:41:05and apologized for every unfairness.

00:41:07Then she made me swear

00:41:08to live only for myself.

00:41:10I didn't understand her then.

00:41:12I understand her now.

00:41:15If you tamed this dragon for Leah,

00:41:16of course Mira won't be able to mount it.

00:41:18She'll be heartbroken if she finds out.

00:41:21In the North,

00:41:22who hasn't fallen off a dragon before?

00:41:24Mira will be fine.

00:41:25What if she asks you about it?

00:41:27I'll cook her a nice meal

00:41:28and say some sweet words.

00:41:30You know she can't stay mad at me.

00:41:31I'm already marrying Mira.

00:41:32My dragon can only belong to Leah.

00:41:35It's only fair.

00:41:36In the Northern Highlands,

00:41:37we have a tradition.

00:41:38The groom must tame a wild dragon

00:41:39and his bride as a wedding gift.

00:41:41Three days before our wedding,

00:41:43Garak tamed the dragon

00:41:44and held a feast.

00:41:45Look, that's the wild dragon

00:41:46Garak tamed for Mira.

00:41:47It's so big.

00:41:48Lucky Mira.

00:41:49She'll be the happiest bride in the North.

00:41:53Then suddenly,

00:41:54the dragon's tail snapped up

00:41:56and slammed against my back.

00:41:58I fell off the dragon

00:41:59and nearly passed out from the pain.

00:42:03Even though my eyes were closed,

00:42:05I could hear my brother Kale

00:42:06and Garak talk in low voices.

00:42:09Those were the last heart-shattering words

00:42:11I heard before I fully passed out.

00:42:13When I awoke again,

00:42:14I sent a letter to the man

00:42:15who's been waiting for me for eight years.

00:42:17The man who ruled the North

00:42:18and had an entire fleet of dragons.

00:42:22Can you tame a dragon for me?

00:42:24I'll marry you.

00:42:32My bones still ached

00:42:33from the pain

00:42:34of getting smacked off the dragon.

00:42:36Every breath felt like a razor

00:42:37slussing down my windpipe.

00:42:39But I went back to the dragon field anyway.

00:42:42Some things you need to see

00:42:43with your own eyes.

00:42:45Not far from my cabin,

00:42:46I saw Leah with Draegor,

00:42:48the dragon that was supposed to be mine.

00:42:50Draegor stood calm beneath her,

00:42:51like he's done this a thousand times.

00:42:53No one would guess he was a wild beast.

00:42:57Leah yanked the reins,

00:42:58and Dragoth reared with a roar.

00:43:04Sorry, Vera.

00:43:05This dragon seems to like me.

00:43:08So Garak gave it to me instead.

00:43:11If you mind,

00:43:12I can give it back to you.

00:43:14But her hands never loosened on the reins.

00:43:17Draegor lowered his head

00:43:18and pressed his snout to her hand.

00:43:19He had never bound his head

00:43:21for anyone before.

00:43:22Garak trained him well for my sister.

00:43:24Mira, just let Leah have Draegor.

00:43:26It's not a big deal.

00:43:27I can just tame another dragon for you.

00:43:29I remain silent,

00:43:30trying to suppress the anger

00:43:31that rose inside me.

00:43:32My brother quickly took their side,

00:43:34like he always does.

00:43:36We're all family.

00:43:38There's no reason why

00:43:39you can't let Leah have Draegor.

00:43:40Leah is your sister.

00:43:42Be kind to her.

00:43:43Be kind to Leah?

00:43:44Those were the words

00:43:45I heard over and over again

00:43:46growing up.

00:43:47But this time,

00:43:48I'm done playing nice.

00:43:50They have no idea

00:43:51what Draegor meant to me.

00:43:54When I was a toddler,

00:43:55I wandered off

00:43:55and got separated from my family.

00:43:57They didn't find me again

00:43:58until I was ten.

00:44:02Daddy,

00:44:03I'm home.

00:44:05Daddy,

00:44:06Mira's back.

00:44:07She's your real daughter.

00:44:09This is her home,

00:44:10not mine.

00:44:10Now that she's home,

00:44:12no one's going to love me anymore.

00:44:14Don't say that,

00:44:14Leah.

00:44:15You'll always be our precious

00:44:16little princess.

00:44:17As far as I'm concerned,

00:44:19you're the only sister I have.

00:44:24Look, Mira.

00:44:24Father brought this doll

00:44:25back from the market

00:44:26for me yesterday.

00:44:27He said it was

00:44:27the prettiest one there.

00:44:31Mira,

00:44:31if you really like it,

00:44:33I can give it to you.

00:44:34It was a gift from Father,

00:44:35so please,

00:44:36don't snatch it from me

00:44:37and break it.

00:44:38Mira,

00:44:38what do you think

00:44:39you're doing?

00:44:40Leah,

00:44:40don't cry.

00:44:41I'm here.

00:44:42No one will take your doll away.

00:44:44So they loved her harder.

00:44:45The bigger room went to her.

00:44:47The nicer dresses.

00:44:49The first pick

00:44:49of every new toy.

00:44:51And every time

00:44:51they turned away,

00:44:52Leah made sure

00:44:53I knew she'd won.

00:44:54And I let her have it all.

00:44:57Now she wants Dragoth.

00:45:01Dragoth is all I have left

00:45:02to my mother.

00:45:03The last hatchling

00:45:04of her bonded dragon,

00:45:05the one they buried with her.

00:45:07My mother was

00:45:08the only one in that house

00:45:09who ever truly loved me.

00:45:11On her deathbed,

00:45:12she held my hand

00:45:12and apologized

00:45:13for every unfairness.

00:45:15Then she made me swear

00:45:16to live only for myself.

00:45:17I didn't understand her then.

00:45:19I understand her now.

00:45:22Everyone was watching me.

00:45:23They waited for me

00:45:24to get angry,

00:45:25to throw a tantrum,

00:45:26or cry.

00:45:27Because that's

00:45:28what always happens.

00:45:29I'd lose to Leah

00:45:30and I'd cry.

00:45:31But this time,

00:45:32I didn't want to do

00:45:33any of that.

00:45:34I raised my hand

00:45:35and held the whip out

00:45:36to Leah with a smile.

00:45:37I clearly didn't expect

00:45:38me to do that.

00:45:39Sure thing.

00:45:40A good dragon

00:45:41deserves a good whip.

00:45:43Garret gave it to you,

00:45:44so I'll keep it.

00:45:46Leah's smile

00:45:47froze on her face.

00:45:48Her hand stopped midair,

00:45:49unsure whether

00:45:50to take it or not.

00:45:51Kale shot a nervous

00:45:52glance at Garret.

00:45:53Seeing my reaction,

00:45:55Garret's face

00:45:55turned cold with anger.

00:45:57Finally,

00:45:58Leah took the whip

00:45:58from me.

00:45:59Thank you, Mira.

00:46:01My lack of temper

00:46:01must have surprised Leah.

00:46:02She probably expected

00:46:04me to make a scene.

00:46:05Then she can pretend

00:46:06to be hurt

00:46:06and win the sympathy

00:46:07of everyone.

00:46:08Wait,

00:46:08but isn't that dragon

00:46:09supposed to be

00:46:10Mira's wedding gift

00:46:11from Garret?

00:46:12Yeah.

00:46:12Why is Leah asking for it?

00:46:14This is not our tradition.

00:46:16Mira is so generous.

00:46:17She just gave it

00:46:18to her sister too.

00:46:19Leah's being selfish

00:46:20if you ask me.

00:46:21The gossip made Leah

00:46:22feel uneasy.

00:46:23She looked at me

00:46:24with anger in her eyes.

00:46:32Garret's jaw tightened.

00:46:33He whispered to me.

00:46:35That's enough for today.

00:46:36I'll make a nice

00:46:37meat stew for us tonight.

00:46:39Don't embarrass Leah

00:46:40in front of everyone.

00:46:43I'm going to take her

00:46:43for a ride on her new dragon.

00:46:45I'll be back later tonight.

00:46:49Come on, Mira.

00:46:50I'll take you home.

00:46:52You're still hurt.

00:46:53Don't stand here too long.

00:46:59Come on, Mira.

00:47:00My brother just wanted

00:47:01me to leave quickly

00:47:02so people can stop watching.

00:47:04My brother

00:47:04and my so-called fiancé,

00:47:06they both know

00:47:06they are wrong for doing this.

00:47:08But they chose

00:47:08to do this to me anyway.

00:47:10I spun around

00:47:11and walked back home.

00:47:13When I looked up,

00:47:14Leah and Garret

00:47:15were already in the air.

00:47:16Seeing them together

00:47:17like real husband and wife,

00:47:18I got the closure I needed.

00:47:19Whatever feelings I had left,

00:47:20they were dead,

00:47:21gone,

00:47:22and buried.

00:47:23It was already midnight

00:47:23when the door finally opened.

00:47:25Cold air swept in,

00:47:27along with the smell of stew.

00:47:28Garret came in

00:47:29and set a pot on the table.

00:47:31I could smell the faint scent

00:47:32of a woman's perfume

00:47:33as he walked in.

00:47:34Lie is no doubt.

00:47:35I know because she bought it

00:47:37from silk merchants.

00:47:38You can't get it here in the north.

00:47:39I lifted the lid.

00:47:40The stew was already mostly eaten.

00:47:42The pot only had a bit of potatoes

00:47:43and carrots left on the bottom.

00:47:45Garret had taken off his coat

00:47:46and turned his back to me.

00:47:47Leah said the stew came out perfect.

00:47:49She did a taste test for you.

00:47:50Go ahead and have some.

00:47:51I wanted to laugh.

00:47:53He brought me Leah's leftovers

00:47:54and told me she did a taste test.

00:47:55The pot was already cold.

00:47:57He must have been there for a while.

00:47:58For eight years, I waited.

00:48:00I waited for him to tame the dragon

00:48:01and marry me.

00:48:02He always sweared to me

00:48:03the north's tradition

00:48:03could not be broken.

00:48:04His dragon would be loyal to me

00:48:06and no one else.

00:48:07I believed him for eight years.

00:48:08Instead, his dragon answered

00:48:09only to Leah.

00:48:10He thought one pot of stew

00:48:11would make me smile at him.

00:48:13And I did smile.

00:48:14I smiled at how foolish I had been.

00:48:17I lifted the pot

00:48:18and tossed it onto the ground.

00:48:20The contents splatter everywhere.

00:48:23I don't want Leah's sloppy seconds.

00:48:25Garret looked at me shocked.

00:48:26He's never seen me like this before.

00:48:28What the hell are you talking about, Mira?

00:48:30You're going to make a scene

00:48:31just because your sister

00:48:32had some of the stew first?

00:48:33I'm talking about us, Garret.

00:48:36I'm ending our engagement.

00:48:41Finally, seeing that I was not kidding,

00:48:43Garret's face twisted with anger.

00:48:45What did you just say?

00:48:46Is this fun for you?

00:48:48Are you done putting on an act?

00:48:50You know what?

00:48:51I'm going to leave

00:48:52so you can think about

00:48:52what you did wrong.

00:48:53Once you know why you're wrong,

00:48:55come apologize to me.

00:48:57He turned to go,

00:48:58then stopped at the door.

00:49:00Tomorrow is Leah's birthday feast.

00:49:01You better not come salking.

00:49:03Just let her be happy for one day.

00:49:04Can you do that?

00:49:06If this is about the dragon,

00:49:07I'll just get you another one.

00:49:08Without another word,

00:49:09Garret stormed out of the house.

00:49:12I looked at the door

00:49:13Garret left open.

00:49:14Suddenly,

00:49:15a messenger pigeon flew inside

00:49:16and landed next to me.

00:49:18A note was attached to its legs.

00:49:20From the royal seal,

00:49:21I could already tell

00:49:22who it's from.

00:49:24The dragons are ready.

00:49:25I'll be there tomorrow.

00:49:32The next day

00:49:33was Leah's birthday feast.

00:49:35The tables were full of

00:49:36roast meat and sweet cakes.

00:49:37Many people had turned out for it.

00:49:40When I arrived,

00:49:41Leah stood in the middle of the crowd.

00:49:42She lifted one foot

00:49:43to show off a new pair of boots.

00:49:45The boots were dark brown leather

00:49:46stitched with fine silver thread.

00:49:48Garret made these for me by hand.

00:49:49Three whole months.

00:49:51He pricked his fingers raw.

00:49:52The crowd laughed and teased her.

00:49:54Garret stood beside her,

00:49:55smiling.

00:49:56And how about you marry him instead?

00:50:04The crowd erupted,

00:50:05loud with disbelief.

00:50:07Oh shit,

00:50:08Mira sounds jealous.

00:50:09Jealousy is never a good look on anyone.

00:50:11Mira,

00:50:12stop with your theatrics.

00:50:13It's not a big deal.

00:50:14I made a pair of boots for Leah,

00:50:16so what?

00:50:17It's her birthday

00:50:18and she's your sister!

00:50:19Eric's right, Mira.

00:50:20Stop fussing over nothing.

00:50:21Fussing over nothing?

00:50:23My fiancé tames a dragon for my sister.

00:50:26Makes shoes for my sister.

00:50:27Makes me eat the leftover soup of my sister.

00:50:29Why would I want to marry a man

00:50:31who's clearly in love with my sister?

00:50:33I told you last night, Garret,

00:50:35it's over between us.

00:50:36From the corner of my eye,

00:50:38I could see the smile

00:50:38Leah was trying to contain.

00:50:40This is exactly what she wanted

00:50:41and I'm giving it to her.

00:50:43End our engagement?

00:50:44We've been together for eight years.

00:50:45Who's going to want to marry you

00:50:46if not me?

00:50:47Who I marry is none of your business.

00:50:49He glanced toward the crowd.

00:50:50Two men stepped out.

00:50:52They walked to the fire pit at the center.

00:50:54They scattered the burning coals

00:50:56across the ground.

00:50:57Fine then.

00:50:59You want to break the engagement?

00:51:00It is the most sacred promise there is.

00:51:02You know our rules.

00:51:03To break it,

00:51:04you cross the coals barefoot.

00:51:09The room suddenly went so silent

00:51:11you could hear a pin drop.

00:51:12Everyone looked at me,

00:51:13watching for my next move.

00:51:14Even I didn't think

00:51:15Garret would invoke the old way.

00:51:17I said nothing.

00:51:18Then without another beat of hesitation,

00:51:19I took off my shoes.

00:51:20I walked to the edge of the coals.

00:51:22I could hear a few people

00:51:23suck in their breaths.

00:51:24The path was narrow

00:51:25and the heat baked my skin.

00:51:28I lifted my right foot

00:51:30and held it over the fire.

00:51:31The pain nearly made me give up.

00:51:33But then I thought of all the lies

00:51:35he'd fed me over the past eight years.

00:51:37My resolve only grew stronger.

00:51:38Mira, stop!

00:51:39Just apologize to Garret

00:51:41and you can pretend

00:51:41none of this ever happened.

00:51:43Searing pain shot up

00:51:44from the sole of my foot.

00:51:45My body swayed

00:51:46and I almost fell

00:51:47but I clenched my teeth.

00:51:48I forced out a second step

00:51:49then a third.

00:51:50Each step drove the pain deeper.

00:51:52Still I bit down

00:51:52and made no sound.

00:51:53Garret's gaze grew colder

00:51:55with every step I took.

00:51:56Garret, stop this.

00:51:58Her feet are burned

00:51:59through the flesh.

00:51:59It has gone too far.

00:52:00Too far?

00:52:01She's the one

00:52:02who wants to break off

00:52:03our engagement.

00:52:04This is the consequence.

00:52:05On the last step

00:52:06I pitched forward

00:52:07and nearly fainted.

00:52:09But I had crossed it.

00:52:10The vow was broken.

00:52:12Whispers spread

00:52:13through the people.

00:52:14Mira really walked

00:52:15across burning coal?

00:52:16How could she endure

00:52:17something like this?

00:52:18She made no sound.

00:52:20She truly does not want it.

00:52:21Everyone looked at Garret

00:52:22in disbelief.

00:52:23What is he going to say now?

00:52:25He rushed towards me

00:52:26face twisted in anger.

00:52:28What tricks are you

00:52:28playing now, huh?

00:52:29I'll give you

00:52:30one last chance, Mira.

00:52:31Apologize to me

00:52:32in front of everyone

00:52:32and I'll take you back.

00:52:34Everyone in the north

00:52:34knows you've been

00:52:35with me for eight years.

00:52:36No man is going

00:52:37to want you now.

00:52:37Says who?

00:52:48Aye, Theron Dragomu,

00:52:50Prince of the North,

00:52:51come to ask Mira

00:52:52for her hand in marriage.

00:52:59When I was a toddler,

00:53:01I wandered off

00:53:01and got separated

00:53:02from my family.

00:53:03They didn't find me

00:53:04again until I was ten.

00:53:08Daddy, I'm home.

00:53:11Daddy, Mira's back.

00:53:13She's your real daughter.

00:53:15This is her home,

00:53:16not mine.

00:53:17Now that she's home,

00:53:18no one's going

00:53:18to love me anymore.

00:53:20Don't say that, Leah.

00:53:21You'll always be

00:53:22our precious little princess.

00:53:23As far as I'm concerned,

00:53:25you're the only sister I have.

00:53:30Look, Mira,

00:53:31Father brought this doll

00:53:31back from the market

00:53:32for me yesterday.

00:53:33He said it was

00:53:33the prettiest one there.

00:53:37Mira,

00:53:37if you really like it,

00:53:39I can give it to you.

00:53:40It was a gift from Father,

00:53:41so please,

00:53:42don't snatch it from me

00:53:43and break it.

00:53:44Mira,

00:53:44what do you think you're doing?

00:53:46Leah, don't cry.

00:53:47I'm here.

00:53:48No one will take

00:53:49your doll away.

00:53:50So they loved her harder.

00:53:51The bigger room

00:53:52went to her.

00:53:53The nicer dresses.

00:53:55First pick of every new toy.

00:53:57And every time

00:53:57they turned away,

00:53:58Leah made sure

00:53:59I knew she'd won.

00:54:00And I let her have it all.

00:54:03Now she wants Dragoff.

00:54:07Dragoff is all

00:54:08I have left of my mother.

00:54:09The last hatchling

00:54:10of her bonded dragon.

00:54:11The one they buried with her.

00:54:13My mother was the only one

00:54:14in that house

00:54:15who ever truly loved me.

00:54:17On her deathbed,

00:54:18she held my hand

00:54:18and apologized

00:54:19for every unfairness.

00:54:21Then she made me swear

00:54:22to live only for myself.

00:54:23I didn't understand her then.

00:54:25I understand her now.

00:54:28You tamed this dragon for Leah.

00:54:30Of course,

00:54:31Mira won't be able to mount it.

00:54:32You know she'll be heartbroken

00:54:33if she finds out.

00:54:35In the North,

00:54:36who hasn't fallen off

00:54:37a dragon before?

00:54:38Mira will be fine.

00:54:39What if she asks you about it?

00:54:41I'll cook her a nice meal

00:54:42and say some sweet words.

00:54:43You know she can't

00:54:44stay mad at me.

00:54:45I'm already marrying, Mira.

00:54:46My dragon can only

00:54:47belong to Leah.

00:54:48It's only fair.

00:54:49In the Northern Highlands,

00:54:50we have a tradition.

00:54:52The groom must tame

00:54:52a wild dragon

00:54:53for his bride

00:54:54as a wedding gift.

00:54:55Three days before our wedding,

00:54:57Garak tamed a dragon

00:54:58and held a feast.

00:54:59Look,

00:54:59that's the wild dragon

00:55:00Garak tamed for Mira.

00:55:01It's so big.

00:55:02Lucky Mira.

00:55:03She'll be the happiest bride

00:55:04in the North.

00:55:07Then suddenly,

00:55:08the dragon's tail

00:55:09snapped up

00:55:09and slammed

00:55:10against my back.

00:55:11I fell off the dragon

00:55:13and nearly passed out

00:55:14from the pain.

00:55:17Even though my eyes

00:55:18were closed,

00:55:19I could hear my brother

00:55:20Kale and Garrett

00:55:20talk in low voices.

00:55:23Those were the last

00:55:24heart-shattering words

00:55:25I heard before

00:55:25I fully passed out.

00:55:27When I awoke again,

00:55:28I sent a letter to the man

00:55:29who's been waiting for me

00:55:30for eight years.

00:55:31The man who ruled the North

00:55:32and had an entire

00:55:33fleet of dragons.

00:55:36Can you tame a dragon, Mira?

00:55:38I'll marry you.

00:55:46My bones still ached

00:55:47from the pain

00:55:47of getting smacked

00:55:48off the dragon.

00:55:50Every breath felt

00:55:51like a razor

00:55:51slussing down my windpipe.

00:55:53But I went back

00:55:54to the dragon field anyway.

00:55:56Some things you need

00:55:57to see with your own eyes.

00:55:59Not far from my cabin,

00:56:00I saw Leah with Draegol,

00:56:01the dragon that was

00:56:02supposed to be mine.

00:56:04Dragoth stood calm

00:56:05beneath her,

00:56:05like he's done this

00:56:06a thousand times.

00:56:07No one would guess

00:56:08he was a wild beast.

00:56:11Leah yanked the reins

00:56:12and Dragoth reared

00:56:13with a roar.

00:56:18Sorry.

00:56:19This dragon seems

00:56:20to bite me.

00:56:21Sir Garak gave us

00:56:23to be inside.

00:56:25If you lose your mind,

00:56:26I can give it back to you.

00:56:28But her hands

00:56:29never loosened

00:56:29on the reins.

00:56:30Dragoth lowered his head,

00:56:32pressed his snout

00:56:32to her hand.

00:56:33He had never bound

00:56:34his head for anyone before.

00:56:36Garak trained him

00:56:36well for his sister.

00:56:38Mira,

00:56:38just let Leah

00:56:39have Dragoth.

00:56:40It's not a big deal.

00:56:41I can just tame

00:56:41another dragon for you.

00:56:43I remain silent,

00:56:44trying to suppress

00:56:44the anger that rose

00:56:45inside me.

00:56:46My brother quickly

00:56:47took their side,

00:56:48like he always does.

00:56:49Come on, Mira.

00:56:50You're all family.

00:56:51There's no reason

00:56:52why you can't let Leah

00:56:53have Dragoth.

00:56:54Leah is your sister.

00:56:55Be kind to her.

00:56:56Be kind to Leah?

00:56:58Those were the words

00:56:59I heard over and over

00:57:00again growing up.

00:57:01But this time,

00:57:02I'm done playing nice.

00:57:04They have no idea

00:57:05what Dragoth means to me.

00:57:07When I was a toddler,

00:57:09I wandered off

00:57:09and got separated

00:57:10from my family.

00:57:11They didn't find me

00:57:12again until I was ten.

00:57:15Daddy.

00:57:17I'm hot.

00:57:19Daddy.

00:57:20Mira's back.

00:57:21She's your real daughter.

00:57:23This is her home,

00:57:23not mine.

00:57:24Now that she's home,

00:57:25no one's going

00:57:26to love me anymore.

00:57:27Don't say that, Leah.

00:57:29You'll always be

00:57:29our precious little princess.

00:57:31As far as I'm concerned,

00:57:32you're the only sister I have.

00:57:37Look, Mira.

00:57:38Father brought this doll

00:57:39back to the market

00:57:40for me yesterday.

00:57:41He said it was

00:57:41the prettiest one there.

00:57:44Mira,

00:57:45if you really like it,

00:57:46I can give it to you.

00:57:48It was a gift from Father,

00:57:49so please,

00:57:50don't snatch it from me

00:57:51and break it.

00:57:52Mira,

00:57:52what do you think

00:57:53you're doing?

00:57:54Leah, don't cry.

00:57:55I'm here.

00:57:56No one will take

00:57:56your dollar off.

00:57:57So they loved her harder.

00:57:59The bigger room

00:58:00went to her,

00:58:01the nicer dresses.

00:58:03First pick

00:58:03of every new toy.

00:58:04And every time

00:58:05they turned away,

00:58:06Leah made sure

00:58:07I knew she'd won.

00:58:08And I let her

00:58:09have it all.

00:58:11Now she wants Dragoth.

00:58:15Dragoth is all

00:58:15I have left

00:58:16of my mother,

00:58:17the last hatchling

00:58:18of her bonded dragon,

00:58:19the one they buried

00:58:20with her.

00:58:21My mother was

00:58:22the only one

00:58:22in that house

00:58:23who ever truly loved me.

00:58:24On her deathbed,

00:58:25she held my hand

00:58:26and apologized

00:58:27for every unfairness.

00:58:29Then she made me swear

00:58:30to live only for myself.

00:58:31I didn't understand her then.

00:58:33I understand her now.

00:58:36Everyone was watching me.

00:58:37They waited for me

00:58:38to get angry,

00:58:39to throw a tantrum,

00:58:40or cry.

00:58:41Because that's what

00:58:42always happens.

00:58:43I'd lose to Leah

00:58:44and I'd cry.

00:58:45But this time,

00:58:46I didn't want to do

00:58:47any of that.

00:58:48I raised my hand

00:58:49and held the whip

00:58:50out to Leah

00:58:50with a smile.

00:58:51They didn't expect

00:58:52me to do that.

00:58:53Sure thing.

00:58:54A good dragon

00:58:55deserves a good whip.

00:58:57Garrett gave me

00:58:58to you,

00:58:58so keep him.

00:59:00Leah's smile

00:59:00froze on her face.

00:59:01Her hand stopped

00:59:02midair,

00:59:03unsure whether

00:59:03to take it or not.

00:59:05Kale shot a nervous

00:59:05glance at Garrett.

00:59:07Seeing my reaction,

00:59:08Garrett's face

00:59:09turned cold

00:59:09with anger.

00:59:11Finally,

00:59:11Leah took the whip

00:59:12from me.

00:59:14My lack of temper

00:59:15must have surprised Leah.

00:59:17She probably expected

00:59:18me to make a scene.

00:59:19Then she can pretend

00:59:20to be hurt

00:59:20and win the sympathy

00:59:21of everyone.

00:59:21Wait,

00:59:22isn't that dragon

00:59:23supposed to be

00:59:24Mira's wedding gift

00:59:24from Garrett?

00:59:25Yeah.

00:59:26Why is Leah asking for it?

00:59:28This is not our tradition.

00:59:29Mira is so generous.

00:59:31She just gave it

00:59:32to her sister too.

00:59:33Leah's being selfish

00:59:34if you ask me.

00:59:35Gosset made Leah

00:59:36feel uneasy.

00:59:37She looked at me

00:59:38with anger in her eyes.

00:59:46Garrett's jaw tightened.

00:59:47He whispered to me.

00:59:48That's enough for today.

00:59:50I'll make a nice meal

00:59:51stew for us tonight.

00:59:53Don't embarrass Leah

00:59:54in front of everyone.

00:59:56I'm going to take her

00:59:57for a ride

00:59:58on her new dragon.

00:59:59I'll be back

01:00:00later tonight.

01:00:02Come on, Mira.

01:00:04I'll take you home.

01:00:06You're still hurt.

01:00:06Don't stand here too long.

01:00:13Come on, Mira.

01:00:14My brother just wanted

01:00:15me to leave quickly

01:00:16so people can stop watching.

01:00:18My brother

01:00:18and my so-called fiancé,

01:00:20they both know

01:00:20they are wrong

01:00:21for doing this,

01:00:21but they chose

01:00:22to do this to me anyway.

01:00:24I spun around

01:00:25and walked back home.

01:00:27When I looked up,

01:00:28Leah and Garrett

01:00:28were already in the air.

01:00:30Seeing them together

01:00:30like real husband and wife,

01:00:32I got the closure I needed.

01:00:33Whatever feelings

01:00:34I had left,

01:00:34they were dead,

01:00:35gone,

01:00:36and buried.

01:00:36It was already midnight

01:00:37when the door

01:00:38finally opened.

01:00:39Cold air swept in,

01:00:40along with the smell of stew.

01:00:42Garrett came in

01:00:43and set a pot on the table.

01:00:45I could smell the faint scent

01:00:46of a woman's perfume

01:00:47as he walked in.

01:00:48Lie is no doubt.

01:00:49I know because she bought it

01:00:50from silk merchants.

01:00:51You can't get it here

01:00:52in the north.

01:00:53I lifted the lid.

01:00:54The stew was already

01:00:55mostly eaten.

01:00:55The pot only had a bit

01:00:56of potatoes and carrots

01:00:57left on the bottom.

01:00:59Garrett had taken off his coat

01:01:00and turned his back to me.

01:01:01Leah said the stew

01:01:02came out perfect.

01:01:03She did a taste test for you.

01:01:04Go ahead and have some.

01:01:05I wanted to laugh.

01:01:06He brought me Leah's leftovers

01:01:07and told me she did a taste test.

01:01:09The pot was already cold.

01:01:10He must have been there

01:01:11for a while.

01:01:12For eight years I waited.

01:01:13I waited for him

01:01:14to tame the dragon

01:01:15and marry me.

01:01:15He always sweared to me

01:01:16the north's tradition

01:01:17could not be broken.

01:01:18His dragon would be loyal to me

01:01:19and no one else.

01:01:20I believed him for eight years.

01:01:22Instead,

01:01:23his dragon answered

01:01:23only to Leah.

01:01:24He thought one pot of stew

01:01:25would make me smile again.

01:01:26And I did smile.

01:01:28I smiled at how foolish

01:01:30I had been.

01:01:31I lifted the pot

01:01:32and tossed it onto the ground.

01:01:34The contents splatter everywhere.

01:01:37I don't want Leah's

01:01:38sloppy seconds.

01:01:39Garrick looked at me shocked.

01:01:40He's never seen me

01:01:41like this before.

01:01:42What the hell

01:01:42are you talking about, Mira?

01:01:44You're going to make a scene

01:01:45just because your sister

01:01:45had some of the stew first?

01:01:47I'm talking about us,

01:01:49Garrett.

01:01:50I'm ending our engagement.

01:01:55Finally,

01:01:55seeing that I was not kidding,

01:01:57Garrett's face

01:01:58twisted with anger.

01:01:59What did you just say?

01:02:00Is this fun for you?

01:02:02Are you done putting on an act?

01:02:04You know what?

01:02:05I'm going to leave

01:02:05so you can think about

01:02:06what you did wrong.

01:02:07Once you know why you're wrong,

01:02:08come apologize to me.

01:02:11He turned to go,

01:02:12then stopped at the door.

01:02:14Tomorrow is Leah's birthday feast.

01:02:15You better not come salking.

01:02:16Just let her be happy for one day.

01:02:18Can you do that?

01:02:19If this is about the dragon,

01:02:20I'll just get you another one.

01:02:22Without another word,

01:02:23Garrett stormed out of the house.

01:02:25I looked at the door

01:02:27Garrett left open.

01:02:28Suddenly,

01:02:29a messenger pigeon flew inside

01:02:30and landed next to me.

01:02:32A note was attached to its legs.

01:02:34From the royal seal,

01:02:35I could already tell

01:02:36who it's from.

01:02:37The dragons are ready.

01:02:39I'll be there tomorrow.

01:02:46The next day was Leah's birthday feast.

01:02:48The tables were full of

01:02:50roast meat and sweet cakes.

01:02:51Many people had turned out for it.

01:02:53When I arrived,

01:02:54Leah stood in the middle of the crowd.

01:02:56She lifted one foot

01:02:57to show off a new pair of boots.

01:02:58The boots were dark brown leather

01:03:00stitched with fine silver thread.

01:03:01Garrett made these for me by hand.

01:03:03Three whole months.

01:03:04He pricked his fingers raw.

01:03:06The crowd laughed and teased her.

01:03:08Garrett stood beside her,

01:03:09smiling.

01:03:10Then how about you marry me instead?

01:03:18The crowd erupted,

01:03:19loud with disbelief.

01:03:21Oh shit.

01:03:21Mira sounds jealous.

01:03:23Jealousy is never a good look on anyone.

01:03:25Mira, stop with your theatrics.

01:03:27It's not a big deal.

01:03:28I made a pair of boots for Leah,

01:03:30so what?

01:03:31It's her birthday and she's your sister.

01:03:33Garrett's right, Mira.

01:03:34Stop fussing over nothing.

01:03:35Fussing over nothing?

01:03:37My fiancé tames a dragon for my sister,

01:03:39makes shoes for my sister,

01:03:41makes me eat the leftover soup of my sister.

01:03:43Why would I want to marry a man

01:03:45who's clearly in love with my sister?

01:03:47I told you last night, Garrick,

01:03:49it's over between us.

01:03:50From the corner of my eye,

01:03:51I could see the smile Leah was trying to contain.

01:03:54This is exactly what she wanted,

01:03:55and I'm giving it to her.

01:03:57End our engagement?

01:03:58We've been together for eight years.

01:03:59Who's going to want to marry you if not me?

01:04:01Who I marry is none of your business.

01:04:03He glanced toward the crowd.

01:04:04Two men stepped out.

01:04:06They walked to the fire pit at the center.

01:04:08They scattered the burning coals across the ground.

01:04:11Find them.

01:04:12You want to break the engagement?

01:04:14It is the most sacred promise there is.

01:04:16You know our rules.

01:04:17To break it,

01:04:19you cross the coals barefoot.

01:04:23The room suddenly went so silent

01:04:25you could hear a pin drop.

01:04:26Everyone looked at me,

01:04:27watching for my next move.

01:04:28Even I didn't think Garrett would invoke the old way.

01:04:30I said nothing.

01:04:31Then without another beat of hesitation,

01:04:33I took off my shoes.

01:04:34I walked to the edge of the coals.

01:04:36I could hear a few people suck in their breaths.

01:04:38The path was narrow,

01:04:39and the heat baked my skin.

01:04:42I lifted my right foot

01:04:43and held it over the fire.

01:04:45The pain nearly made me give up.

01:04:47But then I thought of all the lies

01:04:48he'd fed me over the past eight years.

01:04:50My resolve only grew stronger.

01:04:52Mira, stop!

01:04:53Just apologize to Garrett

01:04:54and we can pretend none of this ever happened.

01:04:57Searing pain shot up from the sole of my foot.

01:04:59My body swayed and I almost fell,

01:05:01but I clenched my teeth.

01:05:02I forced out a second step,

01:05:03then a third.

01:05:04Each step drove the pain deeper.

01:05:05Still I bit down and made no sound.

01:05:07Garrett's gaze grew colder

01:05:08with every step I took.

01:05:10Garrett, stop this.

01:05:12Her feet are burned through the flesh.

01:05:13It has gone too far.

01:05:14Too far?

01:05:15She's the one who wants to break off our engagement.

01:05:17This is the consequence.

01:05:19On the last step,

01:05:20I pitched forward and nearly fainted.

01:05:22But I had crossed it.

01:05:24The vow was broken.

01:05:26Whispers spread through the people.

01:05:28Mira really walked across burning coal?

01:05:30How could she endure something like this?

01:05:32She made no sound.

01:05:33She truly does not want it.

01:05:35Everyone looked at Garrett in disbelief.

01:05:37What is he going to say now?

01:05:39He rushed towards me,

01:05:40face twisted in anger.

01:05:41What tricks are you playing now, huh?

01:05:43I'll give you one last chance, Mira.

01:05:45Apologize to me in front of everyone

01:05:46and I'll take you back.

01:05:47Everyone in the North knows

01:05:48you've been with me for eight years.

01:05:50No man is going to want you now.

01:05:51Says who?

01:06:02Aye, Theron Dragomu,

01:06:04Prince of the North,

01:06:05come to ask Mira for her hand in marriage.

01:06:07Bye.

01:06:09Bye.

01:06:10Bye.

01:06:12Bye.
