00:00:01My wedding day. One of the most important moments in my life.
00:00:05Everything was going well.
00:00:09Until...
00:00:09Drink up.
00:00:23Someone tried to poison me.
00:00:30Going back and forth between transformation, I could barely breathe.
00:00:33But somehow I'm still alive.
00:00:35Back to a few hours before I died last time.
00:00:46That was the night I died. And that's all I remember.
00:00:49Whatever happened in between, it's gone!
00:01:00It was not a dream. The scar is still there.
00:01:03Who did it? Who's trying to kill me and why?
00:01:09Someone gave me a second chance.
00:01:10I plan to take full advantage of that.
00:01:13I have to find out who killed me before the wedding ends.
00:01:18I knew it was a man who stabbed me.
00:01:20The only man who would have that kind of knife in this whole palace is my fiancé, Kael, the king
00:01:24of the wolf pack.
00:01:38I suspect something might happen soon.
00:01:41If it's about my sister, you have all my support.
00:01:48The two of them is something I could never figure out.
00:01:50But I have a clue now.
00:02:07Let me explain.
00:02:09You're disgusting!
00:02:14Celine!
00:02:15I can't believe my sister is sleeping with him.
00:02:17I think she's the one that killed me too.
00:02:29As is tradition, drinking this broth will ensure a life of happiness for you and Kael.
00:02:35What were you doing in Kael's room?
00:02:36We were talking business, that's it.
00:02:38I'm like a spy, remember?
00:02:39Drink up.
00:02:40It has to be her who poisoned me.
00:02:42I died on my wedding night because of her!
00:02:47I'm not drinking it this time.
00:02:49What do you mean?
00:02:53I'm not dying today, sister.
00:02:56Fine! Don't drink it! You don't deserve to be happy!
00:03:02I just poured poison at her feet.
00:03:04Why did she look so relieved?
00:03:06Last time I knew nothing and died.
00:03:07I won't drink a single drop of that broth!
00:03:31I won't drink a single drop of that broth!
00:03:37She's not the one dying this time, so she should be grateful.
00:03:48I'm pretty sure Livia, my sister, tried to kill me so I didn't get married today.
00:03:53Jesus!
00:03:54We are all gathered here to witness the great union of two great houses.
00:03:59House Sylvine and House Ravensmoor. All right!
00:04:03Harming a king like that is a death sentence. Not only for me, but my entire house.
00:04:08I present to you the wedding cups.
00:04:11I, Kale, from House Ravensmoor, take this cup and trust you, Selene, from House Sylvine, with my life.
00:04:19Your Majesty, I, Selene, from House Sylvine, trust you with my life.
00:04:25Can I really trust him with my life?
00:04:27Among this huge crowd and in front of everyone, I'll take the risk.
00:04:36It's now time for the binding of souls.
00:04:40Finally, the bite on my neck in front of everyone. He better not hold back.
00:04:49Last time he bit me it hurt for three days and I smiled every single one of those days.
00:04:54This time didn't bite me. As of today, to every wolf in this kingdom, I'm just another woman who lives
00:05:00in the palace.
00:05:00Am I just trash to him?
00:05:03Is he keeping that spot open for somebody else?
00:05:08Drink it. You'll be fine.
00:05:11Just drink it.
00:05:12I can't risk it. It may be poisoned.
00:05:15Hey, is everything okay? You seem a bit off today.
00:05:19I'm having a great time.
00:05:22You'll be all right. But why did Livia say that?
00:05:25People who want to kill you don't say that, right?
00:05:27She was definitely acting this whole time.
00:05:29The server seems suspicious. She might be trying to kill me.
00:05:34Last time you poured this same wine, right?
00:05:36What was it? Was it really wine? Tell me!
00:05:43Your Grace, this is my first time at this event. I can swear my life on it.
00:05:49I believe you.
00:05:58The queen has had a scare. She's fatigued. That server girl has offended the crown. Take her out!
00:06:06Cut her head off!
00:06:12Wait!
00:06:16I can't trust anyone. Was she really innocent?
00:06:22Livy's behind this. Can't prove it just now. I need more time.
00:06:27She's making the same face when I poured the broth at her foot.
00:06:30She seems relieved.
00:06:38Your sister identified someone who shouldn't have existed in her memory.
00:06:43Do you think her memories are coming back?
00:06:50What does he want?
00:06:52I'm pretty sure Livia sent him to kill me.
00:06:58Why didn't you turn me in after I slashed your hand?
00:07:00Why didn't you bite me today? Why?
00:07:03How are you even holding that?
00:07:04If you really want it, do it.
00:07:10For the king to submit to me like that.
00:07:13The man who killed me just put his life in my hands.
00:07:15I couldn't bear to kill him while he looked at me like that.
00:07:18I'm not afraid of dying by your hands, Selene.
00:07:21The bleeding won't stop.
00:07:23I'll take care of the wound.
00:07:24I'll be back soon.
00:07:31There has to be something he's hiding.
00:07:33I need to look everywhere before he comes back.
00:07:51Selene! Selene!
00:07:54He was actually shaking. He was screaming my name.
00:07:58Wait, did Kale actually kill me?
00:08:04I broke everything.
00:08:10I was looking for property that belongs to House Sylvine.
00:08:13My sister tried to stop me.
00:08:15I broke the box.
00:08:25Why would she cover for me?
00:08:26I need to find out.
00:08:33She's trying to kill me.
00:08:35Don't trust anyone, Selene.
00:08:41Don't get caught.
00:08:49What are they up to?
00:08:57What is that?
00:09:09What exactly are you doing?
00:09:11What is that?
00:09:23This is a bad thing.
00:09:24This is a bad thing.
00:09:27You don't get caught with me.
00:09:29You're running around.
00:09:30You're on top.
00:09:31I'm down.
00:09:35I'm going to kill her.
00:09:38You're in there.
00:09:40What is that?
00:09:42Madam, last night someone carried this out of your room.
00:09:45I ask that it be tested here, in front of everyone.
00:09:48By all means. Let's test it.
00:10:00Seems to be a bit of Rowan with some herbal medicine.
00:10:03No poison or anything dangerous.
00:10:05I've heard those words before.
00:10:07Right after I died, same rhythm and everything.
00:10:09She didn't improvise that.
00:10:11She's had it written for a long time.
00:10:13She's been wanting me dead for a while.
00:10:15A daughter of a lower breed.
00:10:18She was never going to be a good queen.
00:10:22A daughter of a lower breed.
00:10:24She was never going to be a good queen.
00:10:27I've heard those words before, after I died.
00:10:29Same cadence and everything.
00:10:32The queen is not in her right mind.
00:10:35She has now assaulted two people.
00:10:37Until this is investigated.
00:10:39For the safety of my house and everyone else's.
00:10:45Just a temporary measure.
00:10:46As soon as the queen becomes better, it comes off.
00:10:49I'm sure the king would approve.
00:10:51Too bad he's away.
00:10:53The vote is unanimous.
00:10:54This is for your safety, your Greg.
00:11:21Wolves have a word for this.
00:11:22De-chlorine.
00:11:24It should burn, but it doesn't.
00:11:26I won't show it.
00:11:27I'll pretend it hurts.
00:11:43Do the lords of the four houses agree to appoint Livia Sylvain as a royal consort and hand to the
00:11:51queen?
00:11:52We, the lords, accept this.
00:11:57Do you, Livia, accept to fulfill royal duties as needed?
00:12:02I am willing.
00:12:11Your grace's shadow is brighter than it used to be.
00:12:14Don't let others see how bright you shine, my queen.
00:12:17I'm doing this for you.
00:12:19It's been exactly three days.
00:12:21Two people have now died or gone to jail just for speaking with me.
00:12:39Stay behind me, your grace.
00:12:40Please, I won't let them touch you.
00:12:43This is bad.
00:12:44I'm starting to remember now.
00:13:12Last time only one person died.
00:13:14It's three now.
00:13:17Two people have now died or died or died or died or died or died or died or died or
00:13:22died or died or died.
00:13:47It doesn't hurt.
00:13:49It didn't hurt last time either.
00:13:51Even this collar doesn't burn.
00:13:53There's definitely something wrong with me.
00:13:55Your grace!
00:14:21You got lucky this time.
00:14:23Next time you're going down.
00:14:24Next time you're going down.
00:14:41Thank you, Ren.
00:14:54I should have not killed him.
00:14:56I needed to get some information.
00:14:58But I'm an easy target out here.
00:15:07Are you okay?
00:15:08What happened?
00:15:10Someone tried to kill me.
00:15:11I feel these things happen when Carer's away.
00:15:14He left me to foreign allegation in another country.
00:15:17He should be back soon.
00:15:27Libby, I knew someone would kill me today.
00:15:29Or she's been waiting for something to happen.
00:15:32Either or.
00:15:33She knows something I don't.
00:15:44I remember I knelt and begged in front of this door until dawn.
00:15:47This time I'm just returning her property.
00:15:51Oh.
00:16:16This is not the same child.
00:16:19This girl has changed.
00:16:20I need to find out when did this change happen.
00:16:24I need to take advantage now that the king is away.
00:16:37Blood is in question must shift in front of everyone present.
00:16:41If she fails to show us her transformation, the punishment of death shall be carried.
00:16:46Only a true wolf can be our queen.
00:16:48I demand to have the collar taken away to transform.
00:16:51Motion denied.
00:16:52Who knows what the queen might do once we remove the collar.
00:16:55This is not a trial.
00:16:57It's an execution.
00:17:05Stop!
00:17:25I'm sorry.
00:17:26I was late again, sister.
00:17:28I'm sorry.
00:17:52I was late again, sister.
00:18:09What is that?
00:18:11It's nothing. We're safe now.
00:18:18Livvy, what the hell?
00:18:20Why didn't you tell me?
00:18:22Drink it. You'll be fine. Just drink it.
00:18:25All right.
00:18:27It will make you feel better. I promise.
00:18:29I won't move from here until you start healing.
00:18:34Shit! Not now!
00:18:40She said the broth would hold it down. She said it would save you.
00:18:46Selene!
00:18:47Do it, Kale! Stop it!
00:18:53Come here.
00:19:00Morgueus told me your blood couldn't be held down.
00:19:02That you'd break at the wedding in front of everyone and never be able to transform back.
00:19:07She said you'd kill everyone near you and your own body would finish you.
00:19:12She said the broth would stop that from happening.
00:19:20And I believed her.
00:19:27I'm sorry, sister.
00:19:29I should have trusted you from the beginning.
00:19:31If you cry.
00:19:35If you cry.
00:19:40Cry.
00:19:43I know.
00:19:45Here I am.
00:19:47We've both died once already.
00:19:50I'm sorry.
00:19:51I'm sorry.
00:19:51From now on, we'll live as long as we can.
00:19:53Together.
00:19:54I'm sorry.
00:20:00So what do you remember?
00:20:01I just remembered the night I died.
00:20:04But everything before and after that is a blur.
00:20:07I can tell you about Kale.
00:20:09Sure.
00:20:10What did he do?
00:20:11After you died, he burnt through the four great houses.
00:20:14Everyone called him a tyrant.
00:20:16And don't you think he was one?
00:20:18He was not just killing people and rising chaos all over.
00:20:21I think he was looking for something.
00:20:23Is there anything else you want to tell me, sister?
00:20:27I would stay away from the south wing of the manor.
00:20:29Why?
00:20:30I'm sure you'll remember soon.
00:20:36There's so many things I know.
00:20:38I don't know what to tell her.
00:20:39It can hurt her or help her.
00:20:44I've spent three years trying to forget most of it.
00:20:51Do you understand what's required?
00:20:54Yes.
00:20:54I understand.
00:20:56Don't let me down, Livia.
00:21:00I'll do my best to not disappoint you.
00:21:12How was it?
00:21:13It went pretty smoothly.
00:21:15She thinks she still owns you.
00:21:17It's our only cover.
00:21:18We can't blow it now.
00:21:20Let me see it.
00:21:22She even copied my handwriting.
00:21:24This is clearly not Lord Thornwild's handwriting either.
00:21:26She's evil.
00:21:27So she's trying to make every house think he's picking a side.
00:21:30Would he pick a side, though?
00:21:31That's what we should find out.
00:21:33Someone wanted this found in my rooms before Lord Thornwild had the chance to deny ever writing it.
00:21:38I'd like to know why a man who's barely talked to me worth forging a conspiracy with.
00:21:43Everyone in the room is looking for a traitor next to me.
00:21:45I just handed them one who's been there the whole time.
00:21:48What a coward.
00:21:49He had to ask Morais for help.
00:21:50I won't let anyone defy the throne.
00:21:53I won't let anyone defy the throne.
00:22:33There you are.
00:22:34I'm sorry I was away for so long.
00:22:36Is everything okay?
00:22:38You're not afraid.
00:22:41I've been waiting three years for someone to be afraid of the right things.
00:22:48Tell no one what your eyes did tonight.
00:22:50Not even your sister.
00:22:51Not yet.
00:22:57He looked at me like he already knew what this was going to cost.
00:23:01Like he's been bracing for it longer than I have.
00:23:18Your grace.
00:23:29Your grace
00:23:31I'm so happy to see you
00:23:34You knew we'd come
00:23:36I know one of you would
00:23:38Didn't expect both
00:23:39Such a nice surprise
00:23:41Listen to me
00:23:42The old king's tomb has a door
00:23:45That answers to nothing you can bribe
00:23:47Break or burn through
00:23:49It only answers to moonlight
00:23:51And it needs two
00:23:55This
00:23:58Exactly, that's the answer
00:24:00Now you know what they're for
00:24:03Thank you, Vesper
00:24:18It's a key
00:24:19And it fits perfectly together
00:24:39Lord Khaled
00:24:50I've never been to
00:25:12on him hey what brings you this deep into the manor I just couldn't sleep it's
00:25:21cold outside so I took a walk inside have your eyes changed again no I'm not aware if they have
00:25:33he thinks my sister is dangerous I think Thornweald is the threat
00:25:37neither of us has said it out loud he's still not sure about Livia
00:25:59you called for me have a seat
00:26:18my finest men came up with this special little surprise
00:26:26poison the most refined kind not enough to kill her but enough to kill her soul the bottle is an
00:26:34exact
00:26:34replica of an incense storage vassal what do you mean no one will ever call her beautiful again
00:26:42no doctor will call her fertile she will lose all her hair and nails then the teeth it's slow but
00:26:50really effective what if she asks about her hair falling by then I'll be too late an infertile and
00:26:59horrid queen no house wants to marry something like that slow and painful exactly careful with the
00:27:09measure I want her soul broken like an empty carcass dead women get more she must suffer
00:27:22so
00:27:27so
00:27:36I don't know.
00:28:00She didn't put poison.
00:28:17She's lying to me.
00:28:35Can I have your poison vial, please?
00:28:38Sure.
00:28:49So you pretend to carry it, but don't use it.
00:28:5620 years, and this is the first time you lie to my face.
00:29:03I demand a demation to Livia from House Sylvain.
00:29:06She's proven insufficient and not reliable.
00:29:10She just told the whole court that I'm basically useless to her now, which means I'm not safe anymore.
00:29:25I could take the vial to the temple as evidence of you trying to poison a member of the royal
00:29:29household.
00:29:30Take it to the temple.
00:29:32Be my guest.
00:29:33And lose the only thing that makes you still useful?
00:29:36I don't think so.
00:29:37A foreign lelegation arrives in three days.
00:29:39The temple has set a moon rite to celebrate.
00:29:43Full court in every house is invited.
00:29:45I'm not being part of your plans anymore.
00:29:53You'll deliver the moon's beer there in the open, where I can see it happen with my own eyes.
00:29:59No more hiding in her cup at the right in front of witnesses who remember exactly who poured her cup.
00:30:09If you refuse, the evidence does to the temple, and whatever you've been building with your sister will be lost.
00:30:15Fine.
00:30:21I can't tell her what's coming.
00:30:24Telling her is doing exactly what Morghase wants.
00:30:27I have three days to figure this one out.
00:30:33Let's see what she does now.
00:31:14Three days I've been thinking, what's the best?
00:31:16It's the best thing I can do in this situation, and I came up with nothing, so I'm just not
00:31:20doing it.
00:31:40Don't move.
00:31:42Livia, what's going on?
00:31:49Livia!
00:31:53What was in the cup?
00:31:59Who are you again?
00:32:10I know your name.
00:32:11I know you're my sister.
00:32:13I don't know what we were to each other three days ago.
00:32:16That's okay.
00:32:17You should keep resting.
00:32:18We'll find out who's behind this.
00:32:20She remembers me.
00:32:21She doesn't remember whatever she gave up to keep me alive.
00:32:28What do you mean?
00:32:29Maybe she got a little bit tipsy?
00:32:31Strange thing to do at such an important event.
00:32:33Strange, not bad.
00:32:35Maybe it was about their rank.
00:32:36She took the queen's turn to drink.
00:32:38That's odd.
00:32:39Yes, but they're twins, no?
00:32:40The whole court watched her and thought nothing.
00:32:43Only one person in that room knew what she was actually looking at.
00:32:51No one else saw it.
00:32:53No one else needs to yet.
00:32:55I know what she is now.
00:32:57That's worth more to me than all the silence in the world.
00:33:03Leverage didn't work on her.
00:33:06Threatening what she's willing to lose in public didn't work either.
00:33:10I need something to break her.
00:33:15Everyone in that hall thinks they watched an odd little scene at a boring ceremony.
00:33:19What they actually saw was someone deciding their life was worth more than whatever she just lost.
00:33:24And they'll probably never know why.
00:33:26Except the one person who's trying to kill us.
00:33:37No one out there knows what my sister is.
00:33:39No one knows what I am either.
00:33:41They think I got lucky.
00:33:42Maybe even stubborn.
00:33:44Eventually people will find out.
00:33:46But for now I don't need everyone to know.
00:33:53Doesn't mean anything if no one's watching.
00:33:56Means something to me.
00:34:00I remember who it was.
00:34:01Morgase.
00:34:02It's slowly coming back.
00:34:04That's the part she never planned for.
00:34:05We stopped needing her permission before we ever needed her confession.
00:34:16Threatening her sister taught me something useful.
00:34:20She'll burn herself to the ground before she spends Selene.
00:34:23Fine.
00:34:24I'll stop bidding on Selene.
00:34:27And bid on what instead, madam?
00:34:28Find out what she'd actually trade her own life for.
00:34:31Start with the old man in the cells.
00:34:33Twice is a pattern.
00:34:35Once is just an excuse.
00:34:59Twice in one month.
00:35:01The Queen's sister doesn't visit prisoners for no reason.
00:35:04Correct me if I'm wrong.
00:35:05I taught her house history as a boy.
00:35:07These times are sure different from the past.
00:35:09Just old habits.
00:35:11Old habits don't usually come with a door that answers to moonlight.
00:35:14I'm not here to punish you, Vesa.
00:35:16I'm here to see if you're worth more to me alive.
00:35:19Tell me what the tomb needs.
00:35:20Tell me now.
00:35:21And maybe you'll get released from here soon.
00:35:24Or don't.
00:35:25And find out what happens to an old man the court already believes is mad.
00:35:36What did she say to him?
00:35:38Nothing yet.
00:35:39That's the point.
00:35:40She wants him wondering.
00:35:42We can move him, right?
00:35:43Get him out of that cell?
00:35:44And prove exactly how much he matters to us.
00:35:46She'd only need to watch which direction we run.
00:35:47She's not trying to break the tomb open anymore.
00:35:49She's trying to find out if I'll burn myself down for someone who isn't you too.
00:35:53Would you?
00:35:55I don't.
00:35:57I've never been tested like this before.
00:36:02One sister I understand completely.
00:36:05Spend herself for blood every time, no exceptions.
00:36:11The other one's harder to read.
00:36:13That makes her more useful to me, not less.
00:36:20Let's find out what an old man is worth to a girl who's never had to choose before.
00:36:28We can't outweight her.
00:36:29She's already decided Vess is worth killing.
00:36:31We need someone who can move him legally, not in secret.
00:36:34There's no one who can do that without answering to her.
00:36:38There's one person.
00:36:39Kale doesn't know what that man is to us.
00:36:41He doesn't need to.
00:36:42He just needs a reason good enough to sign a transfer order.
00:36:50I need a prisoner moved.
00:36:52Tonight, quietly, under royal authority, no explanation.
00:36:57Which cell?
00:36:58You're not going to ask what, who it is?
00:36:59You wouldn't tell me the real reason even if I asked.
00:37:02I'd rather spend the favor than spend the conversation.
00:37:07Whatever you're protecting, I hope it's worth it.
00:37:24Tell her I said thank you.
00:37:27Tell who?
00:37:34He signed it.
00:37:36What is he thinking?
00:37:38I spent 20 years assuming the king was a blunt instrument.
00:37:41Blunt instruments don't move a prisoner without demanding to know what they're moving.
00:37:49Maybe I've been watching the wrong child this whole time.
00:37:55The king's study.
00:37:57West wing, third floor.
00:37:58I want to know what's inside it before he does.
00:38:01And if it's locked?
00:38:02If they catch me?
00:38:04Everything in this manor is locked until it isn't.
00:38:07That's why you're getting paid.
00:38:30If Morgata's people walk into that room, they walk out with my sister's name circled in red string.
00:38:34I don't have time to warn Kale.
00:38:36I only have time to get there first.
00:38:49Something in me paid for that.
00:38:51I don't know the price yet.
00:38:52I just know there is one.
00:39:10Someone got there first.
00:39:12Door torn clean off, not picked.
00:39:14Whatever was on those walls is ash now.
00:39:19Torn.
00:39:20Not picked.
00:39:21Not burnt open.
00:39:22Torn.
00:39:23There is only one hand in this manor that could do that to true silver and not lose fingers doing
00:39:28it.
00:39:31She is protecting him now too.
00:39:34Not just her sister.
00:39:36She is evolving.
00:39:44I will tell her when there is something to tell.
00:39:46There is nothing to say now.
00:40:02A thief doesn't burn one name and leave the rest of the room standing.
00:40:10A thief doesn't have a reason.
00:40:12It looks like somebody in this manor does.
00:40:20A door that's strong doesn't tear itself off its hinges, your majesty.
00:40:24No.
00:40:25It doesn't.
00:40:34That's the second time this week.
00:40:36It's nothing.
00:40:38You keep saying that.
00:40:43She's hiding something the same way I used to.
00:40:46I know that shape too well not to recognize it.
00:40:50The king protects a broken door instead of reporting it.
00:40:54The queen protects a wound instead of complaining or getting it healed.
00:40:58Everyone in this manor is guarding something now.
00:41:03Good.
00:41:04Guarded things are so much easier to find than hidden ones.
00:41:09Whatever this is, the old man might know something.
00:41:12Maybe it's time he taught some of that wisdom.
00:41:24I wondered when you'd come collect on the favor.
00:41:27I don't want anything from you.
00:41:28Everyone wants something from the man who split the record.
00:41:31You're either lying or you're the first honest person who's asked your majesty.
00:41:35A door in my study was tore off its ridges.
00:41:38True silver banding gone like paper.
00:41:40I didn't report it.
00:41:43Wise of you, your grace.
00:41:44I want to know what I'm protecting before I keep protecting it blind.
00:41:48You already know.
00:41:50You've known since her eyes went silver in that bedroom and you didn't call the guard, your grace.
00:41:55Knowing and understanding aren't the same thing.
00:41:57No, they're not.
00:41:59Maybe it's time to talk to her directly, your grace.
00:42:04Whatever you're bracing for, your majesty, brace for it being bigger than either sister alone.
00:42:19She's paying for something and hiding the bill from everyone, including her own sister.
00:42:23I know that shape.
00:42:24I wore it for three years.
00:42:31I don't know what either of them is carrying yet.
00:42:33Not all of it.
00:42:34But I know enough to help.
00:42:50Your majesty, your grace, and honor.
00:42:56Every man in this hall looks at me first, but he looked at her.
00:43:02You don't talk much for someone who's apparently the reason half this court walks on eggshells.
00:43:07I don't know what you mean.
00:43:08I've sat across from a lot of dangerous people in my line of work.
00:43:11Most of them want you to know it.
00:43:13You're the first one I've met who spent this entire dinner trying to convince me you're not.
00:43:17I'm not here to make trouble for you, Lady Luvia.
00:43:19I'm here because my kingdom heard a rumor about a girl who drank poison in front of a full court
00:43:24and walked away from it.
00:43:26Rumors travel fast.
00:43:27Not fast.
00:43:28Precisely.
00:43:29Someone wanted my kingdom to hear that particular one.
00:43:32I'd be careful who else she's telling.
00:43:39She's shopping the story to foreign courts now.
00:43:42Testing the market, more like.
00:43:44Seeing who'd pay for it.
00:43:45What does he want?
00:43:47I don't know yet.
00:43:48But he's the first person outside this manor who's looked at me like I'm not a rumor.
00:43:51That's either very useful or very dangerous.
00:43:53Why not both?
00:44:01There have been whispers.
00:44:03Unnatural blood in a noble line.
00:44:05The temple cannot act on whispers, but it can and will open an investigation.
00:44:10Naming who?
00:44:11No one yet.
00:44:12Seven days.
00:44:13If the investigation finds nothing, it closes quietly.
00:44:17If it finds something...
00:44:22Seven days to find nothing, or seven days until they find you?
00:44:27She didn't name me.
00:44:28She didn't have to.
00:44:30A rumor and an investigation, both inside a week.
00:44:33That's not a coincidence.
00:44:34That's a schedule.
00:44:36Then we stop waiting for Vesper's clue to matter someday.
00:44:38We use it now.
00:44:51If this doesn't work, we've wasted the only week we had.
00:44:54And if it's something, we stop being two rumors Morius can point at separately.
00:44:58The tomb's outside the manor walls.
00:44:59Let's avoid getting followed.
00:45:00That won't be a problem for tonight.
00:45:02It's a problem for tomorrow.
00:45:06Seven days.
00:45:07I've had worse deadlines before, but none of them ever ended with the truth actually being on my side.
00:45:20You told him we were going?
00:45:22I told him I needed the Eastgate quiet tonight.
00:45:25He didn't ask why.
00:45:26He just made sure it was.
00:45:38It needs two.
00:45:39Two.
00:45:40Two.
00:45:42It needed us.
00:45:54That's not possible.
00:45:55It's very possible.
00:45:57I've had 20 years to get used to the idea myself.
00:46:00I followed you.
00:46:01Forgive an old man his curiosity.
00:46:03I've been waiting 20 years to stand in this room with both of you in it.
00:46:07Her name was Izalith.
00:46:08She was the old king's true love, not his wife of convenience.
00:46:11Mor Gaius poisoned her the night you were born.
00:46:14Born how?
00:46:15We're House Sylvan.
00:46:17You're not.
00:46:18Neither of you ever were.
00:46:19On the night of the Ecliption, the Moon God's blood was born.
00:46:23Twice.
00:46:24I split the record myself.
00:46:25One recorded as air, one as bastard.
00:46:28I thought it would keep you both alive.
00:46:31It did.
00:46:32And I dug the trench between you with my own hands doing it.
00:46:37We have to go.
00:46:38Now!
00:46:5220 years we were told we were House Sylvan.
00:46:5520 years she was telling us the opposite of everything true.
00:47:02We know what we are now.
00:47:04Do we?
00:47:06Nothing hidden, Selene.
00:47:07That isn't a suggestion.
00:47:08That is the whole condition.
00:47:10Are you hiding anything from me?
00:47:13No.
00:47:14You paused.
00:47:15I didn't.
00:47:24How long has this been getting worse?
00:47:29You want to try resonance with me while you're keeping something from me?
00:47:32I didn't want you to stop me from using it when it mattered.
00:47:35That is exactly what nothing hidden means.
00:47:38You don't get to decide for both of us what I'm allowed to know.
00:47:43Then tell me yours.
00:47:45I don't know our mother's name anymore.
00:47:47I dissolved it out of myself, saving you from something you never even knew was poison.
00:47:51I have a notebook full of blank spaces where pieces of you used to be.
00:47:55I can't finish writing in it because I don't know what's true anymore and what I've already lost.
00:48:01So no.
00:48:02We can't do this tonight, not because I don't trust you.
00:48:04We've both spent so long protecting each other in secret that neither of us know how to stop doing it,
00:48:08even now,
00:48:09even when we both know exactly what it's supposed to cost.
00:48:12Then we practice.
00:48:13Practice what?
00:48:14Not hiding things.
00:48:15Starting tonight.
00:48:16Starting with small truths, if that's all we can manage.
00:48:19Scar.
00:48:20Show me the whole thing, not the edge.
00:48:22All of it.
00:48:26It wasn't resonance.
00:48:28It wasn't the legend.
00:48:29It wasn't the fused god the old stories promised.
00:48:31It was smaller than that.
00:48:32And harder.
00:48:33It was just telling the truth to the one person I'd spent my whole second life trying to protect from
00:48:37it.
00:48:47You said practice with the small ones first.
00:48:50Yes, I did.
00:48:52This isn't small, but I promised you nothing hidden, so...
00:49:13These are about me.
00:49:14Everything I know before I can lose it.
00:49:16I started after the collar broke.
00:49:19Today I lost another one.
00:49:20I don't know what it is.
00:49:22You don't know what you lost?
00:49:24That's the worst part.
00:49:25It doesn't announce itself.
00:49:27I just reach for something that used to be there, and my hand comes back empty.
00:49:31And I can't even tell you what shape it was.
00:49:37Every time she saved me, this is what it actually cost.
00:49:40Not a number.
00:49:41Not a wound I can see.
00:49:42Just her.
00:49:43A little less her.
00:49:44One page at a time.
00:49:45I'm not letting you use it again.
00:49:46Not without me there.
00:49:48Not without both of us agreeing it's worth it first.
00:49:49You don't get to decide that alone either.
00:49:51I know.
00:49:52That's why I said both of us.
00:49:55This is harder than I thought it would be.
00:49:57It's supposed to be.
00:49:59That's probably how you know it's real.
00:50:06The inquiry is concluded.
00:50:08We found no single name to bring before this court.
00:50:14But the inquiry uncovered something older than any single name.
00:50:18A passage buried in the temple archive dated before House Sylvian ever held this land.
00:50:23When the moon god's blood is born twice in one generation, the kingdom cannot hold both halves living.
00:50:30One keeps the throne.
00:50:31One must be surrendered to the moon.
00:50:34Surrendered how?
00:50:35The text doesn't specify a method.
00:50:37Only a certainty.
00:50:39It has never been wrong before.
00:50:40It's the first time in generations this has happened.
00:50:46Is the temple naming a suspect or what?
00:50:49The temple names a law.
00:50:51Suspects are for the court to find.
00:50:53She didn't say our names.
00:50:54She didn't need to.
00:50:56She just handed every lord in this hall a reason to go looking for us on their own and made
00:51:00it look like scripture instead of her doing it.
00:51:04One must be surrendered.
00:51:06That's not a prophecy.
00:51:08It's an instruction with better handwriting.
00:51:10She's not trying to expose us anymore.
00:51:12She's trying to get the whole court to demand it themselves so her hands stay clean.
00:51:17Then the fight isn't with her right now.
00:51:19It's with every lord who starts getting suspicious.
00:51:22Twenty years she kept us apart so we'd never trust each other.
00:51:25Now she doesn't need us apart anymore.
00:51:27She just needs everyone else to be afraid of us together.
00:51:34The temple gave us a law and no proof to hang it on.
00:51:37I say we ask for proof ourselves.
00:51:39A trial of silver.
00:51:41Today.
00:51:42Naming who?
00:51:43The queen.
00:51:44If she's nothing more than fortunate, she'll shift and prove it in a breath.
00:51:47If she's something else we deserve to know before the temple's law decides it for us.
00:51:54I'll do it.
00:51:55You don't have to prove anything to this room.
00:51:57I'm not doing it for the room.
00:52:19The moon god has returned.
00:52:34I got my answer.
00:52:36So did they.
00:52:43There it is.
00:52:44Everything I was afraid of.
00:52:47Materializing in front of my face.
00:52:54The Temple's law spoke of two halves.
00:52:57We've seen one.
00:52:59If the other exists, this court deserves to see her too.
00:53:04Lady Livia, shift for us.
00:53:07Prove you're the harmless half everyone assumes you are.
00:53:13Don't.
00:53:14You defending her confirms exactly what she's fishing for.
00:53:35A thing that can't even manage to be a wolf, calling itself the moon god?
00:53:42There's your answer.
00:53:43One sister carries the god's blood.
00:53:45The other carries nothing at all.
00:53:47Perhaps the law only ever meant to warn us about one of them.
00:53:57Nobody else saw it.
00:53:58I almost didn't.
00:53:59She didn't fail to shift.
00:54:01She shifted into something the room isn't built to see.
00:54:13Kill the eclipse.
00:54:14Keep the moon.
00:54:15That's what they're saying in the lower hall.
00:54:18Better her than the queen, I suppose.
00:54:27No shadow?
00:54:30For three seconds.
00:54:32You did shift, Livia.
00:54:34Every time you thought you failed, you didn't.
00:54:37Nobody could see you succeed until now.
00:54:41Twenty years of being told I'm the broken one worse.
00:54:44And the truth is worse.
00:54:46I was never broken.
00:54:48I was just invisible the whole time and nobody thought to check.
00:55:04Your majesty, I wondered how long before you came instead of sending someone.
00:55:09You told my sister to be careful who Magrion is talking to.
00:55:12I want to know why.
00:55:13Why?
00:55:17Fair.
00:55:18I'll trade you.
00:55:19You tell me why a queen who just turned into a legend in front of her whole court is standing
00:55:23in my room at midnight instead of resting.
00:55:25Because legends don't rest.
00:55:27Three years ago, the night your king took this throne, my kingdom lent soldiers to the coup.
00:55:33Quietly.
00:55:34Off any written record.
00:55:36Lent to who?
00:55:37The dowage.
00:55:39She promised trade concessions in exchange.
00:55:42Concessions she's never once honored since.
00:55:44I'm not here as a diplomat, your majesty.
00:55:47I'm here collecting a debt she doesn't think anyone remembers she owes.
00:55:53You have proof of this.
00:55:55I have a signed letter with her seal on it.
00:55:58I've been waiting three years for a reason to share it with someone.
00:56:01What would make it worth it now?
00:56:02A throne that owes my kingdom something honest for.
00:56:05And a queen who doesn't flinch when she finds out what her enemy's enemy actually wants in return.
00:56:11He wants something.
00:56:12Foreign delegates always want something.
00:56:14He wants leverage over Moreas exactly as badly as we do.
00:56:17That's not nothing.
00:56:18It's not trust either.
00:56:19No.
00:56:20But it's the first weapon anyone's offered us that isn't pointed at each other.
00:56:24Twenty years, Moreas built her power on debts nobody could prove.
00:56:27I just found someone keeping score the whole time.
00:56:51Kill the eclipse.
00:56:52Keep the moon.
00:56:54I didn't survive nineteen years of being the reason my sister needed protecting.
00:56:58Just to become the reason she needs it again.
00:57:06You weren't even going to say it to my face!
00:57:12The note said it better than I would have.
00:57:14The note said it like you already decided I don't get a vote.
00:57:17Every time I do something for your sake, the first step is throwing myself away from you.
00:57:21I know that.
00:57:22I've done it twice now.
00:57:23And I'm about to do it a third time and I still think it's right.
00:57:26It's not protection, Livia.
00:57:28It's the same lie Morgaine raised us on, just wearing your voice instead of hers.
00:57:33Get away from her.
00:57:34It's safer for everyone.
00:57:35That's her sentence.
00:57:37Not yours.
00:57:38Then tell me what the safer version looks like.
00:57:40Because I've been standing in this exact place before Selina.
00:57:43Last life.
00:57:44Alone.
00:57:44Having just lost you.
00:57:46About to marry the man everyone thought I wanted.
00:57:48This isn't that life.
00:57:50Prove it!
00:57:50Don't tell me!
00:57:51Prove it!
00:57:53I didn't have an answer that was better than stay.
00:57:56I only had the truth, which was that I didn't know how to keep her safe either.
00:58:08If I stay, if I stay and something happens to you because of it, I don't get to take that
00:58:13back.
00:58:14I would regret it forever.
00:58:15If you go and something happens to you out there, alone or back either, we're both carrying the same risk.
00:58:19You just get to decide whose hands it sits in.
00:58:24I don't know how to stop doing this.
00:58:26Leaving is the only thing that I know, especially if it's to protect you.
00:58:29Then get good at something else.
00:58:30I'll be here if you need ideas.
00:58:45Guard at the side gate reported movement.
00:58:47I told him it was nothing.
00:58:48It was nothing.
00:58:50I know.
00:58:51That's why I told him that before I checked myself.
00:58:58She almost left?
00:59:00Almost, madam.
00:59:02Almost is useful.
00:59:04It means some part of her still believes leaving would work.
00:59:09I spent twenty years making sure they'd never trust each other.
00:59:12That failed.
00:59:13There's an older lesson underneath it, though.
00:59:15You don't have to break the bond.
00:59:17You only have to make staying unbearable and dangerous for them.
00:59:20I know exactly what would cost that much.
00:59:31What is that?
00:59:32The recipe I used on your mother.
00:59:35Unfinished back then.
00:59:36I didn't have Eclipse blood to complete it.
00:59:38I only had guesswork and a woman who wasn't strong enough to survive the guessing.
00:59:42You just confessed to murdering the old king's true love.
00:59:45I have a witness who watched you do it, or near enough.
00:59:47I could walk that straight to the temple.
00:59:49Do it.
00:59:49Walk in there and tell them exactly how you know whose daughter you are.
00:59:53Go on.
00:59:54Explain the tomb.
00:59:55Explain the pendant.
00:59:56Explain a sealed chamber that only opens for two moon-born halves standing together.
01:00:01You can't accuse me of killing your mother without proving you're her daughter in the same breath.
01:00:05The moment that's proven, the temple doesn't need my confession anymore.
01:00:09Their own law does the rest of my work, free of charge.
01:00:12I didn't hide that cabinet because I was afraid of what's in it.
01:00:15I left it unlocked precisely because I always knew the day you found out would be the day you understood
01:00:20you can't use it.
01:00:21Complete the recipe.
01:00:23A vial of your blood, properly drawn.
01:00:25Do that, and the witness account against you stays in this drawer instead of in the temple.
01:00:39You tried.
01:00:40I tried.
01:00:41She'd already built the wall around it before she ever showed me the door.
01:00:45Any proof I have that she killed our mother is also proof of exactly what the temple's law says one
01:00:49of us has to be surrendered for.
01:00:51So the truth isn't a weapon.
01:00:52It's a leash.
01:00:53It works exactly as hard against us as it does against her.
01:00:56She's known that since the night she did it.
01:00:58She's had 20 years to make sure it stayed true.
01:01:00I wanted there to be a version where knowing the truth was enough.
01:01:03It isn't.
01:01:03Knowing it just means we're the only two people who have to be careful who else finds out.
01:01:10I'm going to her.
01:01:12I'll offer myself in your place.
01:01:14Absolutely not.
01:01:16She wants a Moonborn's blood to finish a weapon.
01:01:18She never said whose.
01:01:19I carry the same blood you do.
01:01:21She wants my blood specifically because it's the half that dissolves things.
01:01:25Yours burns.
01:01:26It's not interchangeable, Selina, and you know that.
01:01:29Then I offer her something else.
01:01:30My life instead of the recipe.
01:01:32A trade.
01:01:35Last life.
01:01:36I carried the poison that killed you.
01:01:38I am not standing here again while you walk towards her with your own death in your hands.
01:01:41This life, it's my choice.
01:01:43That's the difference.
01:01:44Nobody's lying to me about what's in the cup this time.
01:01:47Take me instead.
01:01:48Whatever you're building against her, build it against me.
01:01:51I'll give you what you need.
01:01:52How generous.
01:01:53And devastatingly naive.
01:01:55I'm not naive.
01:01:55I'm the one who can actually survive a mistake in the measuring.
01:01:58She can't.
01:01:59Very well.
01:02:00Come to the undercrate at midnight, alone.
01:02:02We'll discuss terms somewhere quieter than my own rooms.
01:02:10She thinks this is a negotiation.
01:02:12It's not.
01:02:13And she's about to learn it the hard way.
01:02:15I walked in thinking I was the one setting the terms.
01:02:18I should have asked myself why she agreed so fast.
01:02:27I came alone like you asked.
01:02:29Let's talk.
01:02:35She's not coming.
01:02:55You said you wouldn't.
01:02:57I lied.
01:02:59Get down!
01:03:10No!
01:03:11No!
01:03:11No!
01:03:12No, no, no, no!
01:03:16Told you.
01:03:17I'm not good at anything else.
01:03:20Stop talking.
01:03:21Save it.
01:03:22Save what?
01:03:23There's nothing left to lose that I haven't already.
01:03:25Help!
01:03:26Someone help!
01:03:26Last life, I died and she carried the guilt of it for three years.
01:03:29I am not spending the rest of mine carrying her.
01:03:34Stay with me.
01:03:35Stay with me.
01:03:36I'm not asking twice.
01:03:50I didn't know this had a name.
01:03:51I didn't care.
01:03:52I just knew there was more of me to give and none of it mattered as long as she could
01:03:55make it.
01:03:59And which lady are you?
01:04:05I didn't kill your mother's daughters.
01:04:08I spent twenty years teaching you to hate each other instead.
01:04:12Killing you would have been so much less efficient.
01:04:17Together, the two of you are a god.
01:04:19Apart, you're a lunatic and an idiot who can't remember anything at all.
01:04:24I don't need to kill a god.
01:04:25I only need to make sure the god never assembles or remember anything.
01:04:29Rest well, your majesty.
01:04:31You've earned it.
01:04:32You gave everything you had to save someone who currently has no idea who you are.
01:04:36She was right about one thing.
01:04:37I did give everything I had.
01:04:39She's wrong about me getting rest.
01:04:41I'd give all my power to her one hundred times if I could.
01:04:50You shouldn't be conscious, let alone arguing with me.
01:04:53Morgeus isn't waiting for me to feel better.
01:04:58Your majesty, the moon pens, they're open.
01:05:04A thousand low wolves, unbane, moving on the manor.
01:05:08Who authorized this?
01:05:10It doesn't matter who opened the gate.
01:05:13It matters that we hold these wolves before they reach them.
01:05:20A thousand wolves who spent their whole lives being told they were less than people.
01:05:25Twenty years of telling this kingdom that a wolf who can't control itself isn't a person,
01:05:30I finally found a use for all of them.
01:05:36Let's see which sister can solve this.
01:05:39If they even can.
01:05:46You can't fight like this.
01:05:48The scar's maxed out.
01:05:50Using it again could kill you outright.
01:05:52Then I don't use it.
01:05:54I still have a voice and a sword.
01:06:02Livia, I need you to trust me even though you don't know why yet.
01:06:06I don't know you, but you're looking at me like I'm supposed to matter to you.
01:06:10You are.
01:06:11More than anyone left standing in this manor.
01:06:21I should be fighting.
01:06:30Kale!
01:06:33Don't you even dare.
01:06:34You have nothing left to give.
01:06:36You'll kill yourself.
01:06:36I'm not watching you die because I couldn't stop myself from trying.
01:06:41What do I do?
01:06:44Your hands don't burn.
01:06:46True silver doesn't hurt you.
01:06:47Poison doesn't either.
01:06:48I need you to trust that even though I know you don't understand why yet.
01:06:53I don't remember doing this.
01:06:55Ever.
01:06:56You don't have to remember it.
01:06:58You just have to do it!
01:07:09Did I do that?
01:07:10I don't know how I did that.
01:07:12You've always known how.
01:07:13You just don't remember why it matters now.
01:07:16You did a great job, sister.
01:07:21We saved him.
01:07:23We're still losing the wall.
01:07:25I don't know how to win this.
01:07:32The wall won't hold another night.
01:07:34I need something better than soldiers.
01:07:36I might have something better than soldiers.
01:07:41A thousand-year eclipse.
01:07:43Full moon and to Alady.
01:07:44The closest the moon has been in a millennium.
01:07:46I don't have three days.
01:07:47You don't need three days to survive.
01:07:49You need three days to survive until this arrives.
01:07:51Under that sky, twin resonance costs nothing.
01:07:54No scar, no memory.
01:07:56The one window where they can finally become one.
01:07:59Three days.
01:08:00My scar's already maxed.
01:08:01I don't know what happens if I push it again before then.
01:08:03Then you don't push it.
01:08:04You hold.
01:08:05Wren commands the wall.
01:08:06I hold the gate.
01:08:07You rest.
01:08:08And we buy Vesper three days.
01:08:10What happens to me in the meantime?
01:08:14You stay close.
01:08:16Whatever's supposed to happen under that sky,
01:08:17it needs both of us standing in the same place when it arrives.
01:08:21Even though I don't remember what both of us are supposed to feel like.
01:08:24Even though.
01:08:31Mine!
01:08:35I didn't expect the delegation to fight our war for us.
01:08:38I didn't come here for the war.
01:08:40I came to pay my debt.
01:08:51Three days of holding won't save them.
01:08:53I have a thousand more wolves ready to go.
01:08:59Let's see how well a broken god holds a gate.
01:09:07Hold the gate!
01:09:11Day one.
01:09:12We're still standing.
01:09:14Barely.
01:09:14Day two.
01:09:15Thorndown hasn't sent his own men to help.
01:09:18He's watching to see who wins before he decides who he's loyal to.
01:09:23If the throne falls, I'm not going down with it for a queen who isn't even fighting.
01:09:27She's dying to give us this eclipse.
01:09:29That's more than you've ever given anyone.
01:09:37Why do I keep coming back to this room?
01:09:40Because some part of you already knows the answer, even without the memory.
01:09:44Day three.
01:09:45The sky's clear tonight.
01:09:47Vesper says that's good.
01:09:50I hope he's right.
01:09:52Because we don't have any more men.
01:09:59You wrote this about me, before you lost everything.
01:10:02I don't remember writing any of it.
01:10:04I know.
01:10:04I'm going to read it to you anyway.
01:10:07She's afraid of thunder.
01:10:08Won't admit it.
01:10:09Counts the gap between the flash and the sound, like she's timing something that matters.
01:10:14Her birthday falls in late autumn.
01:10:16She pretends not to care about the date, but she always knows exactly how many days are left until it.
01:10:21There's a dimple on the left side when she really laughs, not the right.
01:10:26People who don't know her well never notice there's a difference.
01:10:31Lost another one today.
01:10:33I don't know what it was.
01:10:40She sounds like she loved her sister very much.
01:10:42She did.
01:10:43She still does.
01:10:44Sitting right here, telling you about it.
01:10:51Wait.
01:10:53Your smell.
01:10:54I think I've smelled that before.
01:10:58Her mind is wiped clean.
01:10:59Her nose isn't.
01:11:00It's not much.
01:11:01It's the first thing that's come back on its own, and I'll take it.
01:11:05It's the first thing that I would love.
01:11:25The first thing they hold.
01:11:26It's information that I doè¾›em...
01:11:26I guess that your eyes are not supposed to be older.
01:11:27It's all that you'll find.
01:11:27And the rest of the day...
01:11:27It's all that happens.
01:11:33I don't know why this is happening.
01:11:41What did you find?
01:11:44Nothing. Half of something. I don't even know what it is.
01:11:47My mind doesn't know what this is. My hand won't stop shaving anyway.
01:11:53Tomorrow. Under the eclipse. I think you'll understand it without me saying a word.
01:11:57And if I don't? If tomorrow comes and I still don't know you?
01:12:00That's enough to start with.
01:12:07Tomorrow the sky does what neither of them can do for each other tonight.
01:12:10I just have to make sure there's a wall left standing when it does.
01:12:39No.
01:12:40No.
01:12:47No.
01:12:48No.
01:12:54No.
01:12:55No.
01:12:57No.
01:13:06No.
01:13:07No.
01:13:09No.
01:13:22No.
01:13:26No.
01:13:3320 years she built an entire war on the bet that we'd never do that.
01:13:37It took one night under the right sky to prove her wrong.
01:14:14When you did it to my mother, did she beg?
01:14:17No. She asked me why. I never gave her a good enough answer.
01:14:22Though, I'm not sure I have one for you either.
01:14:28Try me.
01:14:29Because a kingdom that kneels to blood it can't control isn't a kingdom.
01:14:33You murdered a woman and raised her daughters to hate each other so a legend could never be born.
01:14:38Yes. And it worked for 20 years. I'm not going to apologize for the years it worked.
01:14:46Everyone here just watched what happens when two halves of something choose each other instead of fear.
01:14:51She spent 20 years betting we never would.
01:14:55You lost that bet in front of the whole kingdom.
01:14:58Every wolf on this field just bared its throat to us without being asked.
01:15:1320 years. And it took one morning to undo it.
01:15:18It took 20 years of both of us surviving what you did to us.
01:15:21Justice is being served.
01:15:30Murder of Izaloth. True consort to the old king.
01:15:34Forgery of the star record.
01:15:3520 years of engineered cruelty against two children who never once stopped being exactly that.
01:15:40Children.
01:15:41Careful.
01:15:43Yesterday's knife doesn't usually get to read today's charges.
01:15:46Yesterday's knife is done taking instructions from you.
01:15:50The temple's law demanded one moonborn surrendered to protect the kingdom.
01:15:55What protects it now?
01:15:57Nothing needed surrendering.
01:15:58It needed assembling.
01:16:00We just spent a war learning the difference.
01:16:03Sentence.
01:16:04A true silver collar never to be removed.
01:16:06Confinement in the old king's tomb.
01:16:08Keeping watch over the grave of the woman she murdered for as long as she lives.
01:16:13You'd have me spend what's left of my life staring at the woman I killed.
01:16:17You'll spend it exactly the way you made sure we couldn't.
01:16:19Alone.
01:16:20And unable to stop thinking about what you did.
01:16:35You're not going to kill me?
01:16:36No.
01:16:37You're going to live in solitude for the rest of your life.
01:16:40Killing you would be too easy.
01:16:42You'll suffer just like we did.
01:16:47She wanted a throne that feared its own blood forever.
01:16:50She got a tomb, a collar, and a mother she'll have to apologize to every day for the rest of
01:16:55her life.
01:16:56I think that's worse than anything we could have done to her.
01:17:0020 years ago, this kingdom decided a wolf's worth was measured by how well it held its own nature down.
01:17:06I spent three years hunting the people who taught this way.
01:17:13I'm not the throne this kingdom needs anymore.
01:17:16I never really was.
01:17:18I was just holding the seat warm.
01:17:21Until the people who actually belonged in it stopped being afraid to sit down.
01:17:25You'd hand the throne to two queens instead of one king.
01:17:29I'd hand it to the two people who just proved, in front of this entire kingdom, what happens when we
01:17:34stop being afraid of each other.
01:17:37I don't think there's a better qualification than that.
01:17:48First decree.
01:17:50Together or not at all.
01:17:52The blood hierarchy is abolished.
01:17:54Legitimity by birth star is abolished.
01:17:56The moon pens come down.
01:17:57Every true silver collar in this kingdom but one goes into the furnace.
01:18:02What she used to pull us apart wasn't a knife.
01:18:04It was these rules.
01:18:06Rules that said anyone who can't hold their wolf down doesn't deserve to be a person.
01:18:12There has never been a wolf alive who chose her own moon.
01:18:15As of today, that changes.
01:18:19New rules, new queens.
01:18:21This should happen more often, not every thousand years.
01:18:49Last life, you were how I died.
01:18:51This life, you're what I chose.
01:18:53You could have told me sooner.
01:18:55I could have.
01:18:56I wanted to be sure it was real.
01:19:20Everyone in this hall is watching a wedding.
01:19:22I know what they're actually watching.
01:19:23Two people who finally get to stop being afraid of what happens next.
01:19:3020 years ago, I split one truth into two lies to keep two children alive.
01:19:36I have spent every year since believing that was the worst thing I ever did in my life.
01:19:43Both halves have returned.
01:19:45From this day, there is no legitimate and no lesser.
01:19:49No full moon and no eclipse.
01:19:51And no one walks alone.
01:20:08For most of our lives, we were only ever half of something.
01:20:11I didn't know what the other half was supposed to feel like.
01:20:17Now you do.
01:20:19Now I do.
01:20:20You do.
01:20:21You do.
01:20:32You do.
01:20:36You do.
01:20:39You do.
01:20:42You do.
01:20:43You do.
01:20:43You do.
01:20:44You do.
01:20:45You do.
01:20:45You do.
