00:00You're persistent for a man who was kicked out of his own bedroom.
00:03You asked for distance, you didn't ask me to stop caring.
00:06And if caring is just another way to pay off a debt?
00:08Then tell me what a man who owes nothing does differently.
00:10I'll do exactly that.
00:14The council has summoned you.
00:16Your succession will be reviewed.
00:19Let them review it.
00:20And Frostman insists the old engagement still stands.
00:24They call your marriage an insult to both clans.
00:27Then both clans can be insulted!
00:28Young Master, if you refuse, they can strip the dragon seal itself!
00:34A seal I inherit by blood.
00:36A wife I chose by will.
00:39Only one of them is mine because I decided it.
00:43Ma'am, most of it is sealed.
00:45These aren't ordinary families.
00:47I married into one of them.
00:49I'm done being the last to know.
00:52And the Frostmoon engagement rumor?
00:55If someone drafted a contract about my husband before me, I want to read every line.
01:04Dissolve this human marriage.
01:06Honor the Frostmoon engagement.
01:08Restore the balance between our clans.
01:11I will not dissolve it.
01:15Then you place the dragon seal above your own bloodline duty?
01:19I place my wife above a duty that was decided for me before I could speak.
01:23You have until the next full moon.
01:26Return to the clan's arrangement or forfeit your claim to Silvermoon.
01:30He just threw away everything he was born to hold for a debt he thinks he owes you.
01:35You came all this way to tell me that?
01:38I came to ask if you love him enough to let him keep who he is.
01:41A human wife can't.
01:43A Frostmoon bride can.
01:46Strange.
01:47For someone so sure he belongs to you, you spend a lot of time convincing me.
01:53Because you're the only variable I can't freeze.
02:03It shouldn't be able to do that.
02:05Then stop testing what you don't understand.
02:09You attacked my wife in a room full of humans.
02:12I handled it.
02:13Stand next to me, not in front of me.
02:21Among dragons.
02:23An heir marries to keep the bloodline pure.
02:27Choosing you cost me everything they'd hand me for free.
02:32And you'd pay it for a debt?
02:33Stop calling it a debt.
02:35A debt ends when it's repaid.
02:37I don't want this to end.
02:38You always know what to say.
02:41Only when it's true.
02:43And only to you.
02:48She isn't saving Heart.
02:50She's handing it to her husband's family.
02:52When the dragons and the Frostmans go to war, Heart burns with them.
02:55Unless we cut her loose first.
02:59If any of this is true, the board can't stay silent.
03:05If the human wishes to stand beside a Silvermoon heir, let her pass the trial of Moonlight.
03:13Prove she is worthy of our blood, or the marriage is void.
03:17She is not a candidate to be judged.
03:21Then your claim ends at the full moon.
03:23Choose.
03:27I'll take the trial.
03:31Let me arrange every stage.
03:33I can make the trial safer.
03:35If you carry me through it, the council will say a human still needed a dragon to survive.
03:40I pass it, or it doesn't count.
03:46Then let me stand where you can reach me.
03:49That, I'll allow.
03:51I didn't give Heart to the dragons.
03:53I made the dragons pay Heart the best terms in its history.
03:57These numbers can be faked!
03:59Then audit them.
04:00Tonight.
04:01I'll wait.
04:02Enough.
04:04The only person who ever tried to sell this family out is not sitting on Evelyn's side of the table.
04:11It's never been this strong before.
04:13That's not just your mother's keepsake.
04:16That light, it answers to silver moon blood.
04:25That's impossible.
04:27I'm human.
04:33Then why does it protect you like one of us?
04:37Say it here.
04:38Do you stay for love?
04:40Or to pay a debt?
04:42Hear me.
04:44Whether she passes the trial or fails it.
04:46Whether I keep the seal or lose it.
04:49I recognize only one person as my wife.
04:52Her name is Evelyn.
04:54A debt made me find you.
04:56It's not what makes me stay.
05:01The clan has heard the young master's vow.
05:05You think I chose him?
05:07The frost moon heir marries where the clan points.
05:11I was promised a silver moon before I could fly.
05:17So you're not fighting for love.
05:19You're fighting because losing him means losing your only bargaining chip.
05:24Careful, human.
05:25A cornered dragon bites even the ones who understand her.
05:29I don't pity you.
05:32But I finally see you're not the one I should be afraid of.
05:37I still don't know how to trust everything you hid.
05:40But today, I believe the part that mattered.
05:46Then I'll spend every day earning the rest.
05:51Starting with not sleeping on the floor.
05:53The guest room is yours.
05:54For now.
05:56For now is the most hopeful thing you've ever said to me.
06:04That was my mother.
06:06And that shadow beside her.
06:08A dragon.
06:09This isn't a common gem, Evelyn.
06:11It's Moonlight Jade.
06:13Silver Moon's Moonlight Jade.
06:15My mother had a dragon stone?
06:18Moonlight Jade is never given lightly.
06:20It's a token.
06:22And a key.
06:24Someone from my clan trusted her enough to place it in her hands.
06:31She knew about dragons.
06:33Long before I ever saved one.
06:35And she hid the Jade in plain sight.
06:38On her own daughter's neck.
06:41Someone tore this photo.
06:44Someone didn't want me to know who my mother really was.
06:50She's digging into her mother's things.
06:52Burn what's left in the West Vault.
06:54Everything!
06:56Madam.
06:57That includes the papers from the year the first Mrs. Hart died?
07:00Especially those!
07:02If we can't break the marriage, break the woman.
07:04Start with her blood.
07:05And my Jade.
07:07Your mother once hit a wounded Silver Moon and healed him.
07:10The clan gave her the Moonlight Jade in gratitude.
07:12So she saved a dragon.
07:14And years later, so did I.
07:17Two generations.
07:20The same clan.
07:21The same stone.
07:23That's not coincidence, Evelyn.
07:25Then what is it?
07:26Your mother was strong, Miss.
07:28Then that woman came and your mother started fading.
07:32Doctors called it illness.
07:33I never believed it.
07:34Fading.
07:35Slowly.
07:36Over months.
07:37Every day, the new madam brought her tonics herself.
07:42Watched her drink them.
07:45Tonics.
07:46Every day.
07:48Watched her drink them.
07:51Two heart women.
07:52One method.
07:53If the first ever comes to light, the second buries me.
07:59Madam, some copies may already be beyond the vault.
08:02Then find them before that girl does!
08:07Same compound.
08:09Same low dosage.
08:10Same slow decline.
08:12Your mother's records mirror yours almost exactly.
08:15The only difference is she died, and I didn't.
08:19Because someone gave you a smaller dose.
08:21They wanted you alive but barren.
08:23Your mother, they wanted gone.
08:27Then this stops being grief.
08:29It becomes a case.
08:31Yes.
08:35Say it.
08:37Who ordered the first Mrs. Hart's tonics?
08:40Denise Hart.
08:42She paid me to compound the poison.
08:44First for the wife.
08:45Years later, the same formula for the daughter.
08:51And you kept a record?
08:53Insurance.
08:55In case she ever tried to bury me too.
08:59She didn't just drug Evelyn.
09:02She killed her mother.
09:08And I've been standing next to it my whole life.
09:14Stand by your mother one last time.
09:17Destroy the evidence, and Frost Moon rebuilds you.
09:22You're asking me to help cover up a murder?
09:26You've covered up worse.
09:27What's one more lie to a girl who forged a pregnancy?
09:34Forging a test is a scandal.
09:36Hiding a killing is a grave.
09:39I know the difference now.
09:42Your mother killed mine.
09:44The same poison, 20 years apart.
09:49Why are you telling me not the police?
09:51Because you can still choose which side of a murder you stand on.
09:55I'm giving you a door.
09:56Once I open the case, it closes.
10:00And if I walk through it?
10:02You leave Hart.
10:04You keep your freedom.
10:06You lose the right to ever come back.
10:15All my life I helped you win, Mom.
10:17Just once.
10:18Let me choose not to drown with you.
10:30The Moonlight Jade belongs to dragons, not to a mortal's throat.
10:35Hand it over, and I'll spare the human.
10:38It was given to her bloodline and gratitude.
10:41It's hers by right.
10:42By right?
10:43Boy, do you even know what that stone can wake?
10:47Then tell me, what does it wake?
10:53Moonlight Jade answers only to those bound to Silvermoon blood.
10:56It has been answering to her, hasn't it?
10:59Ask yourself why, little heir?
11:01The night in the garden.
11:03The gala.
11:04It protected her like one of us.
11:06You're saying I'm... that's not possible.
11:09I'm human.
11:11Are you?
11:13That's exactly what I intend to find out.
11:16Help me keep Hart.
11:17And I'll deliver the girl and her stone to you.
11:22Humans are such convenient tools.
11:25Do your part at the family hearing.
11:27Keep her cornered.
11:28The Jade is mine to take.
11:31All fabricated.
11:32The dragons bought these papers to steal Hart from within!
11:36Don't feel the money on the земler.
11:36Bye cool, bye chẳngrey, remember,
11:36Yaaijyi, Gabay
11:36amunoenn.
11:37You're maybe there.
