00:00Long ago, on a storm-liped night, twin girls were born in a grand old manner.
00:06But an ancient prophecy hung over the Ashfield family.
00:10When twin daughters are born, one will bring power and fortune.
00:15The other will bring ruin upon the family.
00:19Please!
00:23She's your daughter too!
00:28She should be grateful I'm sparing her life.
00:36In the end, Lord Ashfield chose the elder twin.
00:40The younger sister was left to grow up in a cramped attic.
00:43The younger sister was left to grow up in a cramped attic.
00:43The younger sister was left to grow up in a cramped attic.
00:44The younger sister was left to grow up in a cramped attic.
00:49Downstairs, Lord Ashfield and the daughter he had chosen, lived amid warmth, music, and splendor.
00:57But the daughter he had cast aside...
01:00Look at her! Covered in ashes again!
01:04She wasn't even given a name.
01:05In that manner, they called her only one thing.
01:08Cinderella.
01:23Then one day, Cinderella met the prince fate had chosen for her.
01:32May I have this dance?
01:43I'd love to.
01:51You were never meant to live among ashes.
01:57Cinderella.
01:58Cinderella!
01:59Cinderella!
02:03Cinderella.
02:11Right.
02:12I've officially lost my mind.
02:15Cinderella.
02:16Vivian sent for you.
02:20What does she want with me?
02:26No prince.
02:27No ball.
02:28No happily ever after.
02:30I thought that was all my life would ever be.
02:36Until...
02:37Until...
02:40Until...
02:50My lord, we've drawn enough blood.
02:52The mixture may ease Lady Villian's symptoms for a short while.
02:55Make sure she stays alive.
02:58Vivian will need more.
03:00Yes, my lord.
03:05Father...
03:05Never call me that.
03:06I have one daughter.
03:08The only reason I let you stay was to honor your mother's dying wish.
03:16You were spared for one reason, to keep Vivian alive.
03:20He can take my blood, my name, but he will never own my life.
03:25One day, I will leave this manor.
03:38Cinderella?
03:43Vivian?
03:49You little bitch!
03:58Did you really think I came here to help you?
04:03I should have known better.
04:06You stole my strength before I was even born.
04:09You're the reason I've been weak my entire life!
04:12You're the reason I've been weak my entire life!
04:13You're the reason I've been weak my entire life!
04:13I never took anything from you.
04:17This is all your fault!
04:26Mara?
04:30Have mercy, my lady!
04:32If she dies, there'll be no one left for the alchemist to draw from!
04:37You're right.
04:38I can't let her die.
04:42You'll spend the rest of your life keeping me alive.
04:51Mara...
04:52It hurts.
04:54I know my child.
05:00Julian, you're the heir to the throne.
05:07Not interested.
05:09Enough!
05:10On the night of the winter moon, I will hold a royal ball.
05:15For what?
05:20Every unmarried noblewoman will be required to attend.
05:29And you'll choose one of them to be your bride.
05:43Cindelella, you need to eat.
05:46What's all the fuss?
05:49They're getting Vivienne ready for the royal ball.
05:55His lordship has brought in the finest dressmakers and jewelers.
05:58The whole manor's been turned upside down for her.
06:04Mara.
06:05What's a royal ball like?
06:09My lady.
06:11When I was little, I used to dream of standing in a grand hall, lit as bright as day.
06:16With everyone smiling at me.
06:19Your day will come, my lady.
06:21Yes.
06:23Perhaps it will.
06:28Tighter.
06:30Tonight, you must outshine every woman there.
06:41Father, I will make them remember my name.
06:56Fetch the alchemist!
06:58Now!
07:02Can she still attend the ball?
07:05The mixture may stimulate her briefly, but it cannot cure her.
07:14Why did it have to be me?
07:16She has to go!
07:18The prince will choose his future queen at the ball!
07:22This is our chance to bind the Ashford name to the crown.
07:29Vivienne will attend that ball, even if she can't go herself.
07:39From now on, you are Vivienne.
07:42No one can ever know the truth.
07:53Ruin this, and Mara will pay the price.
07:58I understand.
08:03I dreamed of the world beyond those gates more times than I could count.
08:07I just never imagined this was how I'd finally see it.
08:12Lord Alistair Ashford, Earl of Ashford, and Lady Vivienne Ashford.
08:18It's just like the dream I used to have.
08:20Lady Ashford, you look absolutely exquisite.
08:24Thank you, m'lady.
08:26The Earl of Hawthorne!
08:30What does it take for a woman to catch your eye?
08:34I'll know her when I see her.
08:49My lord, may I step into the garden for some air?
08:51Be quick, and don't try anything.
08:54I'll have someone watching you.
09:05Even here I'm still not free.
09:10Careful.
09:12That rose has thorns.
09:16I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude.
09:19Neither did I.
09:22Everyone in there wants something from me.
09:24Then why stay?
09:27Apparently I'm not allowed to leave.
09:35There it is.
09:37The first real smile I've seen all night.
09:41The time is up.
09:42I should go back.
09:43I don't belong here.
09:45Why not?
09:48Everything here is so beautiful, but none of it belongs to me.
09:53Then let me give you one thing tonight.
09:56What?
09:59A dance.
10:05I can't dance.
10:07Then follow my lead.
10:20His royal highness, Prince Julian Valamish.
10:30I probably should have mentioned that.
10:34Your highness, I...
10:37This lady has promised me the first dance.
10:42The prince chose her for the first dance?
10:45He hasn't said a single word to any of us all night.
10:49Good.
10:49Let the prince fall in love with that face.
10:53Oh no.
10:54They're all watching.
10:58Don't pull away.
11:03Look at me.
11:06Just keep your eyes on me.
11:20They're all looking at you.
11:22Believe me, they're all looking at you.
11:25I'm so sorry, your highness.
11:30Julian.
11:35What?
11:36Call me Julian.
11:38And relax.
11:39You're doing fine.
11:55Who is she?
11:57Lady Vivienne Ashford.
11:58Daughter of the Earl of Ashford.
12:05Tell me who you really are.
12:09If I do...
12:12Everything will change.
12:16Then let it be.
12:25My name is...
12:29My name is Cinder.
12:32No.
12:32I'm Vivienne now.
12:34Even if Julian chose me, the life I've always dreamed of would still belong to Villian.
12:38Cinderella, I've prepared everything.
12:40Tonight is our only chance.
12:41When the clock strikes, you have to leave.
12:43I'll find a way to come back for you.
12:47Sorry, I have to go.
12:50Where will you go?
12:52Somewhere I can finally be free.
12:54And be myself.
12:58Wait!
13:00You've been awfully nice.
13:02Thank you for a wonderful evening.
13:04I've loved it.
13:04Every second.
13:10Freedom.
13:18Wait!
13:31I'll find you again.
13:33Goodbye, Julian.
13:34I'm finally free.
13:39His lordship was right.
13:40You really did try to escape.
13:49I warned you.
13:52Where is Mara?
13:55Even now, you're still worried about her?
14:02Mara!
14:04She has nothing to do with this.
14:06Let her go.
14:08You ran because you forgot who has to pay for your mistakes.
14:14Say it.
14:15It's an honor to be Vivian's double.
14:20I will never give you my life.
14:22Just kill me instead.
14:24You little...
14:33You should be grateful you have Vivian's face.
14:39I'll say it.
14:41Being Vivian's double is an honor.
14:45Remember those words.
14:47A gutter rat like you should know your place.
14:56My lord, his royal highness the prince has arrived.
15:00I'm aware.
15:02You little whore.
15:03You certainly know how to capture a man's attention.
15:05His highness couldn't wait to see you again.
15:07You will go yourself.
15:10Of course, father.
15:12After all, I'm the true Lady Ashford.
15:15Your royal highness.
15:20I have come for the lady who shared the first dance with me last night.
15:28I have come to ask for her hand in marriage.
15:35House Ashford is deeply honored to accept this proposal.
15:46Your highness, Lady Ashford has sent another letter for you.
15:52Just leave it there.
15:57You haven't summoned your fiancee for weeks.
16:03She looked at the world as if everything in it were a miracle.
16:07Yeah.
16:08But now...
16:09You're nothing but a servant.
16:11How dare you block my way?
16:14Lady Ashfield, his highness is occupied with state affairs.
16:17He can't receive anyone at the moment.
16:18You're nothing but a servant.
16:20How dare you block my way?
16:26Perhaps this will remind you whose orders you're supposed to obey.
16:31Enough.
16:33Julian!
16:34I only wanted to see you.
16:36Your servant was the one who insulted me!
16:39You've disappointed me.
16:45So his highness wasn't captivated by my face, but by that ash-covered little nobody?
16:51I'm sorry you had to go through that.
16:55I'm fine, your highness.
16:59The same face.
17:01So why does it feel nothing like that night?
17:04Perhaps Lady Ashford at the ball was only showing what your highness wanted to see.
17:11Then House Ashford has gone to great lengths to deceive the crown.
17:16What do you mean, your highness?
17:20Tell them King Edmund will receive Lady Ashford at the palace tomorrow.
17:34What do you want?
17:37Tomorrow, the king will receive me at the palace.
17:40I will become queen.
17:52What do you want?
17:55What are you going to do?
17:56A future queen can't appear weak in front of the king.
18:04No!
18:06I only need a little of your blood, so...
18:11No!
18:20Only when you're beneath me, do I feel complete.
18:28You're insane.
18:37He looked at you, danced with you, and in the end, he will still marry me!
18:53Don't die, Cinderella. I still need you.
19:04Lady Ashford has been kidnapped! Quickly inform the earl!
19:08Your highness, Lady Ashford has been taken away as you instructed.
19:12Good. Keep her safe.
19:13If House Ashford sends someone else in her place, we will know why Lady Ashford seems like two different women.
19:19Oh, Jesus.
19:21Is something wrong, Earl Ashford?
19:22Nothing, your highness. My daughter will arrive shortly.
19:26Lady Vivian Ashford of House Ashford.
19:45I came here to end this engagement, but the moment she stepped inside, I fell in love with her all
19:51over again.
19:55Your highness. Our plan.
19:58I don't care.
20:00I have to marry her!
20:02Your highness!
20:05Dammit.
20:06I came to end this engagement.
20:09You said you had Lady Ashford taken away, didn't you?
20:12Before the audience began, House Ashford had already taken Lady Ashford back.
20:18The same face.
20:20So why do they feel like two different women?
20:23I need to know the truth.
20:29How does it feel to stand before the king wearing my name?
20:33The Count forced me to go!
20:36Forced you?
20:37You wore my gown, parading around with my face.
20:44And his highness couldn't take his eyes off you.
20:50Lady Ashford was brought here?
20:53Yes, your highness.
20:54Without me, you are nothing.
21:04Vivian?
21:09Father!
21:11Father! She had me kidnapped, then went before the king pretending to be me!
21:18I didn't. I would never-
21:20Enough!
21:21House Ashford is not so powerless that it can't control one woman.
21:27It was Prince Julian who took you, not her.
21:32Julian?
21:34Why would he do that?
21:36What did you do?
21:39I-
21:41This ends now.
21:44Return to the manor.
21:46You will not let Julian see you again.
22:05Father, what are you doing here?
22:07You had your own betrothed kidnapped?
22:09Have you lost your mind?
22:13Father, I know I made a mistake.
22:17If you wish to end this engagement, do it with honor.
22:20Don't bring shame upon the crown.
22:24But...
22:24I can't end it now.
22:28Then no more of these childish games.
22:31You will explain yourself to Earl Ashford face to face.
22:35I will.
22:42The Earl said you're done with the attic.
22:45Oh, Cinderella.
22:49But from now on, the kitchens, stables, laundry, all the worst work belongs to you.
22:55She's not someone you can order around!
23:06Don't hurt Mara.
23:07I'll do it.
23:10Lady Ashford said we should make you feel right at home.
23:17What are you doing?
23:23Since that day, I haven't seen Vivian.
23:26The girl who made my heart race one moment.
23:29And disgusted me the next.
23:31Your Highness.
23:36I wonder how she's been.
23:47Look at you.
23:48Even with Lady Ashford's face, you're still a servant.
24:01Who dares come any closer?
24:06Come on then.
24:13Your Highness honors House Ashford with this visit.
24:16I've come regarding what happened the other day.
24:18Lady Ashford was indeed out of line.
24:21I have reprimanded her accordingly.
24:23Please wait here.
24:24She'll join you shortly.
24:29Julian, I know I was wrong.
24:31Will you forgive me?
24:36I'll go to the palace myself and apologize to that servant.
24:39That won't be necessary.
24:47Is it really you?
24:49A prince.
24:50And yet he's just as foolish as every man before him.
25:03A prince.
25:05Grab her!
25:06Don't let her get away!
25:16Julian?
25:17Forgive me.
25:18I went too far.
25:19Julian!
25:20Wait!
25:22Has he noticed that I'm nothing like that wretched girl?
25:26No.
25:27That wasn't the feeling.
25:29Then what is this?
25:32No.
25:33No.
25:41No.
25:46No.
25:53Are you hurt?
25:54Your Highness, I...
25:57You!
25:57What are you doing here?
25:59Mara is waiting for you.
26:00Forgive her, Your Highness.
26:01She is merely a servant.
26:02She knows no better.
26:03Apologize to His Highness.
26:04Forgive me for disturbing you, Your Highness.
26:14Why does my heart hurt?
26:26Hurt me if you want!
26:27Just don't hurt her again!
26:29My dear sister, when will you ever learn?
26:35My dear sister, when will you ever learn?
26:39No!
26:40You see?
26:42Don't I know you better than anyone?
26:44She has always been your greatest weakness.
26:47What do you want this time?
26:49What did you say to Julian in the courtyard?
26:52I never spoke to him.
26:54Liar!
26:56He almost kissed me!
26:58And then he pushed me away!
27:01You ran into him.
27:02Did you pretend to be helpless in front of him again?
27:05I didn't.
27:06And I never asked him to save me.
27:08You don't need to ask.
27:10You just put on that pitiful look and everyone runs to save you.
27:14We have the same face.
27:16So why does he look at you like you're someone completely different?
27:19Because he was never someone who only cared about a face.
27:25Do you really think you've won?
27:28Take her back to the attic.
27:30She gets no food unless I allow it.
27:33Yes, my lady.
27:35Find the gown she wore that night.
27:37It must have been that gown.
27:48Your Highness, Lady Ashford has arrived.
27:59Julian, I hope I haven't kept you waiting.
28:03Of course, he only loves that fragile little act of hers.
28:17Forgive me, Lady Ashford! I didn't mean to!
28:21Do you have any idea how much this gown costs?
28:23I'll have it cleaned at once!
28:25I'll find a way to pay for it!
28:27With what?
28:28A lifetime of your wages?
28:31Enough.
28:33Julian, she nearly ruined my gown!
28:36It's only a dress.
28:44Are you hurt?
28:46No, Your Highness.
28:51I thought you might like seeing me this way.
28:55I don't care what you wear.
29:00I care whether you're truly yourself.
29:10Do you remember what you told me here?
29:12I said...
29:14It was an honor to be in the palace.
29:19No.
29:21You said everything here was beautiful.
29:24But none of it belonged to you.
29:26I was nervous that night.
29:28Perhaps...
29:28I forgot.
29:32You've forgotten too much, Vivian.
29:38See Lady Ashford home.
29:41At once, Your Highness.
29:48Cinderella.
29:49What does he see in you?
29:51Look into House Ashfield.
29:53What exactly would you like me to find?
29:57Everything.
30:13I didn't send you to the palace to irritate him!
30:16Father, that maid ruined my gown.
30:19I only meant to teach her a lesson.
30:21I couldn't care less.
30:26The only thing I care about is whether you can marry Julian.
30:30But Julian won't even look at me!
30:32He cares about Cinderella, not me!
30:36That makes it even more pathetic.
30:41You carry the Ashford name and I have paved the way for you.
30:45Yet you still can't outshine a nameless little wretch!
30:55Do not make me regret that I chose to keep you alive.
31:11This is all because of you!
31:13If it weren't for you, Father would never treat me like this!
31:19I'm the one Julian should see.
31:21I'm the one he should marry!
31:23I never wanted to compete with you.
31:27Your very existence is a challenge to me!
31:32Your Highness, you shouldn't be here.
31:34If the Earl finds out, he'll have my head.
31:36I'm not here to inspect the estate accounts.
31:40Before Lady Eleanor Ashford passed away, did she leave anything behind?
31:59She said that if someone ever sought justice for that child, I was to hand this over.
32:04My little girl, I named you Ella.
32:08If you are reading this letter one day, forgive your mother for failing to take you away.
32:12But live, Ella.
32:14Even if you are buried beneath ashes, live until you finally step into the light.
32:23Lady Ashford meant she had another daughter.
32:26The Earl claimed there was only one Lady Ashford in the manor.
32:29But this letter proves Lady Eleanor tried to protect another daughter.
32:32If she was given a name, the Abbey may have a record of her baptism.
32:37Find it.
32:38I want to know who this girl, Ella, truly is.
32:43When Julian first saw you in the garden, what were you doing?
32:46I was just standing there.
32:52My Lady, a royal messenger requests an audience.
32:57By order of His Majesty.
32:59In Thursday, in three days, Earl Ashford and Lady Vivian Ashford are to attend the Royal Winter Supper,
33:03where the arrangements for the wedding shall be finalized.
33:06Furthermore, Lady Ashford is permitted to bring one personal maid to assist with her preparations.
33:11Soon, House Ashford will stand beside the Crown.
33:15Father, I want her to come with me.
33:17She knows better than anyone what Julian likes.
33:20Then make sure her face is never seen.
33:23Don't worry.
33:24She'll stand behind me with her head dowered.
33:27If you look at Julian for too long, you'll regret it.
33:30I understand.
33:33The only one standing beside him will be me.
33:39The Royal Wedding Notice has been delivered to Ashford Manor.
33:45If that girl truly is the daughter House Ashford concealed,
33:48the Earl may never allow her into the palace.
33:51Vivian will bring her here.
33:54Because she believed Ella could never take anything away from her.
34:00Your Majesty.
34:02Earl Ashford, please be seated.
34:04This is only a family supper, no need for ceremony.
34:07Your Majesty is most gracious.
34:09House Ashford is honored beyond words.
34:12Julian, it is wonderful to see you again.
34:14Lady Ashford.
34:19You a Lady Ashford's personal maid?
34:22Yes, my lady.
34:23Come with me.
34:24I'll have someone explain the lady's daily routine to you.
34:27Wait here.
34:35Wait.
34:40Come here.
34:42Your Heightness.
34:43How may I assist you?
35:00It really is you.
35:01You must be mistaken.
35:03I'm not. The woman in the garden that night was Lady Ashford.
35:05I'm only a maid.
35:06No.
35:07The woman I met never looked like someone destined to live in another person's shadow.
35:11That girl only existed for one night.
35:13Nothing more.
35:14Forgive me for asking.
35:16Has someone hurt you?
35:17Please don't ask.
35:18Nothing you do can change what happens in that house.
35:20Perhaps I can't change everything at once.
35:21But I want to try.
35:25Then tell me.
35:27What is your name?
35:30No one's ever asked.
35:32I am.
35:35They call me Cinderella.
35:43A name given out of cruelty was never truly your name.
35:47But it's the only name I have ever known.
35:51May I?
35:56Your mother gave you the name Ella.
36:04I found a letter your mother left for you.
36:06It was always meant to reach you.
36:19My mother.
36:21She gave me a name?
36:23She did.
36:26And she wanted you to know you were never forgotten.
36:29No one has ever called me Ella before.
36:31Then allow me to be the first.
36:35Ella.
36:39Thank you Julian.
36:41If you ever wish to leave that place,
36:44find a way to send word to me.
36:47But where would someone like me go?
36:51Somewhere you can breathe freely.
36:53And finally be yourself.
37:09What did he say to you?
37:12Nothing my lady.
37:14Enough.
37:19Whatever childish jealousy this is can wait.
37:22We have more important matters to handle.
37:23Did his majesty say anything?
37:28His majesty has approved an earlier wedding date.
37:31Seven days from today.
37:36Seven days!
37:38I'll be married in seven days!
37:41Then you'll need the strength to stand beside the prince.
37:48She's just returned from the palace. Please.
37:51I'll do it.
37:57Take whatever you need.
37:59She's agreed.
38:02At last.
38:03You know your place.
38:06Keep Mara under watch.
38:11Hold still.
38:12It'll be over soon.
38:20You don't have much time.
38:23The ledger.
38:24It has to be here.
38:25Blood.
38:25From unnamed maids.
38:27He recorded everything!
38:29Dispose of me.
38:30After the wedding.
38:32He never wanted to let me live.
38:35Then this will be enough to make him answer for his crimes.
38:38Take this.
38:39Don't let them get their hands on it.
38:42You were never supposed to see this.
38:47You were never supposed to see this.
38:51Guards!
38:52Guards!
38:53Go.
38:53Make sure this reaches the prince.
38:55It will.
38:56We should go too.
38:57No.
38:58If we run now, they will destroy the evidence before it ever reaches the crown.
39:03What happened here?
39:05My lord.
39:06The girl opened the cabinet.
39:07She took the records.
39:10You did this.
39:12You recorded every drop of blood you took from me.
39:16Where are those pages?
39:18Somewhere you'll never reach.
39:21You think a few stolen pages can change anything?
39:26You're only a maid.
39:29Who do you think will believe you?
39:31We'll see.
39:35Your Highness, this is enough evidence.
39:37We must take it to His Majesty at once.
39:40Not yet.
39:42But the ledger carries Lord Ashford's seal.
39:44He will claim the alchemist forged it.
39:46He will paint Ella as a disgruntled servant seeking revenge.
39:49I will not let him bury her truth again.
39:52Then we use the wedding.
39:54My lord, the prince must already know.
39:56Knowing something exists is not the same as knowing the truth.
39:59But the orders carry your name and seal.
40:00Then they were forged.
40:02By an alchemist desperate to save himself.
40:04My lord.
40:05Tomorrow you will stay here.
40:06Burn every remaining record.
40:07Destroy every instrument.
40:09And pray no one asks why your hands are stained with the blood you took.
40:13From now on everyone in this manor will hear the truth I tell them.
40:16The Ash Girl stole from this house and fled.
40:18She is nothing but a thief.
40:20If she shows herself tomorrow she will prove my story for me.
40:31We'll die now.
40:39The door is my way sir.
40:42The earl has gone.
40:42We don't have much time.
40:49Wait!
40:59Lord Ashford intends to silence me when this is over
41:03Please, take me to the palace
41:04I will tell his majesty everything
41:06We need him
41:08Who's that?
41:09Who's that?
41:10Run!
41:16Mara!
41:20Don't stay here because of me again
41:22Go
41:25I'll come back for you, I promise
41:27No, go
41:27Take back the life they stole from you
41:29I'll get Mara to safety
41:30Your carriage is waiting
41:33Thank you
41:33For always staying by my side
41:35Go, Ella
41:44Earl Alistair Ashford
41:46And Lady Vivienne Ashford of House Ashford
41:49Julian
41:53Julian
41:56Prince Julian Valamite
41:59Do you take Lady Vivienne Ashford as your lawful wife?
42:03Julian
42:08Your Highness
42:21Lady Ashford?
42:22No
42:23There are two Lady Ashfords
42:26She is a thief
42:27She stole from House Ashford and fled before sunrise
42:34Cinderella
42:35How dare you show your face here
42:39Get her out of here
42:45Stand down
42:50She is not a thief
42:51She is a witness to your crimes
42:55Your Majesty
42:56These records were discovered in a hidden chamber beneath Ashford Manor
43:06Earl Ashford
43:07Explain this
43:08A forged ledger
43:10Nothing more
43:11A servant and an alchemist conspiring to ruin House Ashford on the day of a royal wedding
43:15Then let the man who wrote those records speak for himself
43:22Earl Ashford ordered me to take her blood
43:24Again and again
43:28He believed a mixture made with her twin sister's blood could briefly arouse Vivienne
43:32It never cured her yet he ordered me to continue
43:36Lady Ashford has a twin sister
43:38That explains why they look exactly alike
43:41A desperate man will say anything to save himself
43:44I kept those records because I knew one day the truth would need to be heard
43:51The word of a disgraced alchemist means nothing
43:54Your Majesty Vivienne is my only daughter
43:58This girl is nothing but a servant from my manor
44:00She and this alchemist are conspiring to destroy her wedding
44:07A servant's claim, an alchemist's testimony, and a ledger are not enough to prove she is an Ashford
44:14Then let her mother's words be heard
44:22Impossible
44:22You hid her from the world
44:26But Lady Eleanor Ashford never abandoned her
44:29No one calls her Cinderella again
44:36Her name is Ella Ashfield
44:46Your Majesty please
44:47Everything I did was for House Ashford
44:49For the sake of your house you would sacrifice your own daughter
44:54The prophecy said that of twin daughters one would bring power and fortune
44:57While the other would bring ruin upon House Ashford
45:01So you chose her
45:03So Ella was never your daughter
45:04She was only a means to preserve Vivienne
45:06Vivienne was dying, I believe those mixtures were the only way she would survive long enough for the wedding
45:10And Ella, was she not your daughter too?
45:13It was for her
45:14She needed it
45:15She was the one who kept asking for more
45:20Father
45:21Father
45:23You would really let them believe this was all my fault?
45:27Vivienne, it was for House Ashford
45:28You know why I made that choice
45:30Now I finally understand what I have always been to you
45:34You never loved me
45:36You just made a pick
45:43We both deserve the chance to choose our own lives
45:47Earl Alistair Ashford
45:49You imprisoned your own daughter, drained her blood and deceived the crown
45:53I hereby decree that your title and lands are revoked, effective immediately
45:57Your majesty please, House Ashford has served the crown faithfully for generations
46:01And today House Ashford will answer for its crimes before the crown
46:04Take him away
46:05Vivienne, say something
46:07Tell them everything I did was for you
46:10No, you did it for yourself
46:15You have Julian
46:16You have the name I spent my whole life wanting
46:19What do I have left?
46:20You still have a choice
46:21Then take this from me too
46:25Let me go, let me go
46:26Vivienne Ashford
46:27For your involvement in unlawful imprisonment, cruelty and deception of the crown
46:30You are hereby placed under confinement at St. Ell's Abbey
46:32You shall not leave without royal permission
46:34I never knew how to be anyone other than the person he created
46:37Then learn who you truly are
46:44It's finally over
46:59Ella Ashford
47:00Ella Ashford, do you take Prince Julian as your lawful wedded husband?
47:07For most of my life, others decided who I was
47:11I won't let anyone decide who I become
47:13I love you
47:14But before I become someone's wife, I need to learn how to be myself
47:20Then I will wait until the day you choose me on your own
47:41May I have this dance, Ella?
47:43Ella Ashford, do you?
47:46I'd love to
47:50I still step on your toes
47:51Yes, but now they are your own steps
48:00Wherever I choose to stand, that is where I belong
