00:00:05You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
00:00:07I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace, and you can travel home in my private
00:00:11carriage.
00:00:12Majesty, I do have one request.
00:00:14Name it, and it is yours.
00:00:15I wish that my identity stays a secret.
00:00:18That no one outside of the people in this room will know what I have volunteered to do.
00:00:22I promise no one will know.
00:00:25Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name or mention what he promised to do today, so long as Alistair
00:00:30is alive.
00:00:31This is my command, under penalty of death.
00:00:43Three days.
00:00:45In three days I will be gone.
00:00:54The Hell's name is mine.
00:00:54One, two, one, two, one!
00:00:59One, two, one, two, one!
00:01:06One, two, two, one, two!
00:01:19Our realm is under dragon attack.
00:01:22The only way to end it is for one human to willingly enter the dragon valley as a sacrifice.
00:01:29Will anyone step forward to save the realm?
00:01:35I volunteer a sacrifice.
00:01:44You are young to have such a death wish.
00:01:47I'm 18, your majesty. My only wish is that my life means something.
00:01:51Very well. You shall travel to the dragon valley in three days time with the arrival of the full moon.
00:01:58And there you will die.
00:02:01Before you go, I must ask, you are so young, why would you give up your life so freely?
00:02:05I'm an orphan. Found near the dragon valley as a child, I have no true family to mourn me.
00:02:10That is because my family already treats me like I'm dead, though it was not always the case.
00:02:16I was raised a noble of House Quinn, by Lord Quinn and Lady Quinn.
00:02:24They took me in as a child and brought me up as one of their own.
00:02:33Lord Quinn taught me to run.
00:02:35I'm doing it, father, look!
00:02:37That's it, Alistair. Soon you shall be riding a horse like a knight.
00:02:41My mother, Lady Quinn, taught me to be gentle.
00:02:45Remember, Alistair, delicate.
00:02:54My older sister, the brave knight Kaya, taught me to fight.
00:02:58Better luck next time, brother.
00:03:03And my sister, Elaine, blinded by a fever, taught me to see more than just what was on the surface.
00:03:18Please step up.
00:03:22Dorian, the son of a defeated noble sent to my father as payment.
00:03:26I thought I found a brother that was like me.
00:03:30An orphan, except he came from noble birth.
00:03:34But it was not meant to be.
00:03:45While hunting, Dorian blamed me for a stab wound he gave him to me.
00:03:53There is room for only one foundling in this family.
00:04:01My family believed him.
00:04:04Father banished me from the house, ordering me to live in the stables.
00:04:10I've been there ever since, despite the pain.
00:04:14The Quinns loved me for many years.
00:04:17They saved my life.
00:04:19Now I can repay them by saving their lives and the realm.
00:04:23No one will miss me.
00:04:27You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
00:04:29I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace and you can travel home in my private
00:04:33carriage.
00:04:35Majesty, I do have one request.
00:04:36Name it and it is yours.
00:04:38I wish that my identity stays a secret.
00:04:40That no one outside of the people in this room will know what I have volunteered to do.
00:04:45I promise no one will know.
00:04:47Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name or mention what he promised to do today so long as Alistair
00:04:53is alive.
00:04:53This is my command, under penalty of death.
00:05:05Three days.
00:05:07In three days I will be gone.
00:05:09In three days I will be gone.
00:05:30Just as I had hoped, the manor was quiet this early.
00:05:34There would be no family around to see me arriving from my secret trip to the capital.
00:05:40Though perhaps I've spoken too soon.
00:05:43They seem angry.
00:05:46And where have you been?
00:05:48There are dragons on the loose, boy.
00:05:50You should be guarding this manor with your life, not disappearing like a common coward.
00:05:55Forgive me, my lord.
00:05:57A stable rat dressed as a prince.
00:05:59You probably stole these clothes.
00:06:01You're lying.
00:06:03A thief in fancy clothes.
00:06:05Are the clothes we give you not enough?
00:06:07Did you have to go steal these?
00:06:16Yet again, you embarrass our family.
00:06:19Your stolen clothes don't look so nice now.
00:06:21Come on, Kaya.
00:06:22Ignore him.
00:06:23You are just a stable boy.
00:06:25The mud is where you belong and where you should stay.
00:06:34In three days, I will be gone.
00:06:52Tell me, when do you plan to tell the quins that you volunteered as the dragon sacrifice?
00:06:56You know?
00:06:57But how?
00:07:00People see me as nothing more than a loyal butler.
00:07:03But there is more to me than meets the eye.
00:07:18I've decided not to tell them.
00:07:20They'll find out soon enough.
00:07:22Will you keep this between us?
00:07:25Yes.
00:07:26I will keep your secret.
00:07:28The realm needs a sacrifice, not a family scandal.
00:07:30A heart can break twice, boy.
00:07:32Once from cruelties and once from silence.
00:07:37Then let mine break quietly.
00:07:41Emrys was the man who found me as a baby.
00:07:44Later, he would come to work for my family.
00:07:46I know I can trust him.
00:07:49Certainly more than my family.
00:07:53That scream came from Lady Quinn's rose garden.
00:07:57Mother!
00:08:02Mother!
00:08:03Mother!
00:08:03Mother!
00:08:03My roses!
00:08:04My beautiful, innocent roses!
00:08:07They're dead!
00:08:13Mother!
00:08:14Someone put salt in the soil.
00:08:15Nothing can survive in your garden.
00:08:17Who could have done this?
00:08:19Alistair was angry that you praised my pruning yesterday.
00:08:21That's not true.
00:08:22I've been gone and only just now returned.
00:08:24Gone where?
00:08:25To destroy the evidence.
00:08:26We should search his room.
00:08:32There is nothing to find.
00:08:34I swear, please believe me.
00:08:36There, under his bed.
00:08:48I don't believe my eyes.
00:08:50A sack of salt.
00:08:52Half empty.
00:09:01I told you he did it.
00:09:03Those roses were the one thing I trusted you with.
00:09:06How could you...
00:09:08I swear I didn't harm your roses.
00:09:13I haven't even been here long enough to do it.
00:09:15You saw me arrive early this morning.
00:09:17That's true.
00:09:18Alistair wasn't here this morning.
00:09:19Yes.
00:09:20Very convenient that he was absent.
00:09:22Almost like he knew he needed an alibi.
00:09:24What?
00:09:25No, that isn't what I was doing.
00:09:26Then what were you doing?
00:09:27Where were you exactly, Alistair?
00:09:30I can't say.
00:09:32But it all will become clear in three days.
00:09:34It's clear to me now.
00:09:35You intentionally destroyed my wife's prized roses.
00:09:39I didn't.
00:09:40Please, Mother.
00:09:40Do not call me that.
00:09:43You've changed, Alistair.
00:09:44I don't know this person you've become.
00:09:46I'm not your mother and you're not my son.
00:09:49My heart is breaking.
00:09:50Her words hurt worse than any beating ever could.
00:09:56First, you crippled Dorian on the hunt.
00:09:59And now you murder Mother's prized rose garden.
00:10:02I didn't do any of those things.
00:10:05Isn't it suspicious that Dorian knew exactly where to find the salt?
00:10:08How dare you accuse Dorian!
00:10:16Please, Kaya.
00:10:17Please believe me.
00:10:21Don't hurt him, dear sister.
00:10:23We should feel sorry for Alistair.
00:10:25It's been hard for him to adjust to having me around as a foster brother.
00:10:28But I understand.
00:10:29Dorian, you're so kind despite everything Alistair has done to you.
00:10:33It's a shining light that even I can see.
00:10:35If only they knew the truth.
00:10:38That it was Dorian stabbed himself to turn the Quinns against me.
00:10:42The Quinn family will blame you for this.
00:10:44And love me in return.
00:10:48It doesn't matter.
00:10:50In three days I'll be gone and never return.
00:10:54It took so long to clean the mud off me that I arrived at dinner late.
00:10:58But, to my surprise, I found Dorian sitting in my usual seat at the family table.
00:11:04Excuse me, Dorian.
00:11:05There must be some mistake.
00:11:06You're in my seat.
00:11:09Rather than fight Dorian, I figured it best to treat him with kindness and hope he did the same.
00:11:14But Lord Quinn had other ideas.
00:11:16The only mistake, Alistair, is you thinking that there is a seat here for you at this table after what
00:11:22you did today.
00:11:23You may dine with the servants.
00:11:25Until you stop these desperate cries for attention, you will remain as you were when we found you.
00:11:31An outsider.
00:11:36Yes, my lord.
00:11:37Father, you'll regret the way you've treated me when I'm gone.
00:11:40If you only knew that I've already promised to save your life.
00:11:52Now that he's washed the mud off his stolen clothes, I'd like to propose a toast to Alistair, the cleanest
00:11:58stable boy I know.
00:12:01If only they knew what I have promised to do, my sacrifice to the Dragon King would earn a real
00:12:06toast, not this nasty joke.
00:12:14My lords, the family sheep, they have escaped from their pins into the night.
00:12:20How could this have happened?
00:12:22Alistair is the stable boy.
00:12:23It was his responsibility.
00:12:25He must have let them escape.
00:12:28I couldn't believe it.
00:12:30I cared for those sheep and would never let them loose.
00:12:33But there's no time to argue.
00:12:34With dragons in the realm, I must hurry to save their lives.
00:12:48Come on, sheep.
00:12:49Come back to your pens.
00:12:53My worst fear.
00:12:55A dragon at my family's home.
00:13:00It will kill me.
00:13:01Now I'll never make it to the Vale.
00:13:03Never save the realm.
00:13:06Just make it quick.
00:13:23Why haven't you killed me?
00:13:27Well, well, well.
00:13:28There you are.
00:13:30Dorian.
00:13:30Come to rub it in my face.
00:13:32He has no idea the danger he's in.
00:13:37Dorian, you must leave.
00:13:38I wouldn't miss the sight of you scrambling for the world.
00:13:41You see, I was the one that let the sheep out of their pens.
00:13:48I did it because I knew that you would be blamed.
00:13:52There is only room for one of us in House Quinn, and it will be me.
00:13:58Finally, Dorian admits his plan.
00:14:01He wants to make my family hate me and love him.
00:14:09But Dorian has no idea what danger he's gotten us into.
00:14:13I need to act now, or we both will die.
00:14:16Brother, watch out!
00:14:35Alistair attacked me.
00:14:36He spooked the sheep and caused a stampede.
00:14:40It's not true.
00:14:42There was a dragon.
00:14:43I was only trying to save Dorian.
00:14:45The dragon that almost burnt us both alive has disappeared.
00:14:48And where has this dragon gone?
00:14:50Why do you keep lying?
00:14:51Father, please, don't be so hard on Alistair.
00:14:53He only lies like this because he is so jealous of me.
00:14:56A underscore, please, don't be so jealous of him.
00:15:02What is his fiancée?
00:15:02Oh, my God.
00:15:12Your grandmother was just dead, Luke.
00:15:14Siris.
00:15:17I'm chatted you.
00:15:19Mother,
00:15:22Father?
00:15:23Jory's place to edge his tower.
00:15:25Yeah.
00:15:37My hidden magic will reset your broken bones, but it will be painful.
00:15:46The pain of Emerus setting my bones back into place was great, but nothing compared to the pain of how
00:15:51my family treats me.
00:15:56You have done so much for the Quinns.
00:16:00You saved your sister Kaya's life.
00:16:04Don't worry, Kaya, I'm here.
00:16:08Alistair, go. Save yourself.
00:16:12I'm done for, brother.
00:16:16The hell you are! You're gonna make it! I'll get you to your horse!
00:16:22Alistair!
00:16:23And nearly lost yours.
00:16:27You nursed your blind sister Elaine through fever.
00:16:31Back! Back!
00:16:33And protected the animals of the stable with your life.
00:16:37And still your family leaves you on the ground like trash.
00:16:41It's true that I love my family even though they treat me so poorly, but they once loved me too,
00:16:46and I can never forget that.
00:16:47It doesn't matter.
00:16:49I'll soon be gone from this place forever.
00:16:51Gone?
00:16:53Gone to where?
00:16:54My sister's heard my secret plan.
00:16:56I've been caught.
00:16:57What have you been hiding from us?
00:17:10You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
00:17:13I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace, and you can travel home in my private
00:17:17carriage.
00:17:18Majesty, I do have one request.
00:17:20Name it, and it is yours.
00:17:22I wish that my identity stays a secret.
00:17:24That no one outside of the people in this room will know what I have volunteered to do.
00:17:28I promise no one will know.
00:17:31Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name or mention what he promised to do today, so long as Alistair
00:17:36is alive.
00:17:37This is my command, under penalty of death.
00:17:49Three days.
00:17:51In three days I will be gone.
00:17:54In three days I will be gone.
00:18:25Our realm is under dragon attack.
00:18:28The only way to end it is for one human to willingly enter the dragon valley as a sacrifice.
00:18:35Will anyone step forward to save the realm?
00:18:41I volunteer as sacrifice.
00:18:50You are young to have such a death wish.
00:18:53I'm 18, Your Majesty.
00:18:55My only wish is that my life means something.
00:18:57Very well.
00:18:59You shall travel to the dragon valley in three days' time with the arrival of the full moon.
00:19:04And there you will die.
00:19:07Before you go, I must ask.
00:19:08You are so young, why would you give up your life so freely?
00:19:11I'm an orphan.
00:19:13Found near the dragon valley as a child, I have no true family to mourn me.
00:19:17That is because my family already treats me like I'm dead, though it was not always the case.
00:19:23I was raised a noble of House Quinn by Lord Quinn and Lady Quinn.
00:19:31They took me in as a child and brought me up as one of their own.
00:19:39Lord Quinn taught me to ride.
00:19:41I'm doing it, Father, look!
00:19:43That's it, Alistair.
00:19:44Soon you shall be riding a horse like a knight.
00:19:47My mother, Lady Quinn, taught me to be gentle.
00:19:52Remember, Alistair, delicate.
00:20:01My older sister, the brave knight, Kaya, taught me to fight.
00:20:05Better luck next time, brother.
00:20:09And my sister, Elaine, blinded by a fever, taught me to see more than just what was on the surface.
00:20:28Dorian, the son of a defeated noble sent to my father as payment.
00:20:33I thought I found a brother that was like me.
00:20:36An orphan, except he came from noble birth.

00:21:20The Quinns loved me for many years.

00:25:29I've been gone and only just now returned.
00:25:30Gone where?
00:25:31To destroy the evidence?
00:25:33We should search his room.
00:25:38There is nothing to find.
00:25:40I swear, please believe me.
00:25:43There!
00:25:43Under his bed!
00:25:55I don't believe my eyes.
00:25:56A sack of salt.
00:25:58Half empty.
00:26:07I told you he did it.
00:26:09Those roses were the one thing I trusted you with.
00:26:12How could you...
00:26:14Oh!
00:26:17I swear I didn't harm your roses.
00:26:19I haven't even been here long enough to do it.
00:26:21You saw me arrive early this morning.
00:26:23That's true.
00:26:24Alistair wasn't here this morning.
00:26:25Yes.
00:26:26Very convenient that he was absent.
00:26:28Almost like he knew he needed an alibi.
00:26:31What?
00:26:31No, that isn't what I was doing.
00:26:32Then what were you doing?
00:26:34Where were you exactly, Alistair?
00:26:36I can't say.
00:26:38But it all will become clear in three days.
00:26:40It's clear to me now.
00:26:41You intentionally destroyed my wife's prized roses!
00:26:45I didn't...
00:26:46Please, Mother.
00:26:47Do not call me that.
00:26:49You've changed, Alistair.
00:26:50I don't know this person you've become.
00:26:52I'm not your mother and you're not my son.
00:26:55My heart is breaking.
00:26:57Her words hurt worse than any beating ever could.
00:27:03First, you crippled Dorian on the hunt.
00:27:05And now you murder Mother's prized Rose Garden!
00:27:07I didn't do any of those things!
00:27:11Isn't it suspicious that Dorian knew exactly where to find the salt?
00:27:15How dare you accuse Dorian!
00:27:22Please, Kaya.
00:27:24Please believe me.
00:27:27Don't hurt him, dear sister.
00:27:29We should feel sorry for Alistair.
00:27:31It's been hard for him to adjust to having me around as a foster brother.
00:27:34But I understand.
00:27:35Dorian, you're so kind despite everything Alistair has done to you.
00:27:39It's a shining light that even I can see.
00:27:41If only they knew the truth.
00:27:44That it was Dorian stabbed himself to turn the Quinns against me.
00:27:48The Quin family will blame you for this.
00:27:50And love me in return.
00:27:54It doesn't matter.
00:27:56In three days I'll be gone and never return.
00:28:01It took so long to clean the mud off me that I arrived at dinner late.
00:28:04But, to my surprise, I found Dorian sitting in my usual seat at the family table.
00:28:10Excuse me, Dorian.
00:28:11There must be some mistake.
00:28:12You're in my seat.
00:28:15Rather than fight Dorian, I figured it best to treat him with kindness and hope he did the same.
00:28:20But Lord Quinn had other ideas.
00:28:22The only mistake, Alistair, is you thinking that there is a seat here for you at this table after what
00:28:28you did today.
00:28:29You may dine with the servants.
00:28:31Until you stop these desperate cries for attention, you will remain as you were when we found you.
00:28:37An outsider.
00:28:42Yes, my lord.
00:28:43Father, you'll regret the way you've treated me when I'm gone.
00:28:47If you only knew that I've already promised to save your life.
00:28:58Now that he's washed the mud off his stolen clothes, I'd like to propose a toast to Alistair, the cleanest
00:29:04stable boy I know.
00:29:07If only they knew what I have promised to do.
00:29:10My sacrifice to the Dragon King would earn a real toast.
00:29:13Not this nasty joke.
00:29:20My lords, the family sheep, they have escaped from their pins into the night.
00:29:26How could this have happened?
00:29:28Alistair is the stable boy.
00:29:30It was his responsibility.
00:29:31He must have let them escape.
00:29:34I couldn't believe it.
00:29:36I cared for those sheep and would never let them loose.
00:29:39But there's no time to argue.
00:29:41With dragons in the realm, I must hurry to save their lives.
00:29:54Come on, sheep.
00:29:55Come back to your pens.
00:30:00My worst fear.
00:30:01A dragon at my family's home.
00:30:06It will kill me.
00:30:07Now I'll never make it to the Vale.
00:30:09Never save the realm.
00:30:13Just make it quick.
00:30:29Why haven't you killed me?
00:30:33Well, well, well.
00:30:34There you are.
00:30:36Dorian.
00:30:36Come to rub it in my face.
00:30:38He has no idea the danger he's in.
00:30:40No.
00:30:43No.
00:30:43Just leave.
00:30:45I wouldn't miss the sight of you scrambling for the world.
00:30:48You see, I was the one that let the sheep out of their pens.
00:30:54I did it because I knew that you would be blamed.
00:30:58There is only room for one of us in House Quinn, and it will be me.
00:31:05Finally, Dorian admits his plan.
00:31:07He wants to make my family hate me and love him.
00:31:16But Dorian has no idea what danger he's gotten us into.
00:31:19I need to act now or we both will die.
00:31:23Brother, watch out!
00:31:41Alistair attacked me.
00:31:42He spooked the sheep and caused a stampede.
00:31:46It's not true.
00:31:48There was a dragon.
00:31:49I was only trying to save Dorian.
00:31:51The dragon that almost burnt us both alive has disappeared.
00:31:54And where has this dragon gone?
00:31:56Why do you keep lying?
00:31:57Father, please, don't be so hard on Alistair.
00:31:59He only lies like this because he is so jealous of me.
00:32:19Your grandpa, we just have clues.
00:32:21Zahra's.
00:32:22Zahra's.
00:32:23I've chatted you.
00:32:25Mother.
00:32:28Father.
00:32:29Jory's placed her just to help.
00:32:32Yeah.
00:32:43My hidden magic will reset your broken bones, but it will be painful.
00:32:52The pain of Emerus setting my bones back into place was great, but nothing compared to the pain of how
00:32:58my family treats me.
00:33:02You have done so much for the quins.
00:33:06You saved your sister Kaya's life.
00:33:10Don't worry, Kaya.
00:33:12I'm here.
00:33:14Alistair, go.
00:33:16Save yourself.
00:33:18I'm done for, brother.
00:33:22The hell you are.
00:33:23You're going to make it.
00:33:25I'll get you to your horse.
00:33:29Alistair!
00:33:29And nearly lost yours.
00:33:33You nursed your blind sister Elaine through fever.
00:33:37Back!
00:33:38Back!
00:33:39And protected the animals of the stable with your life.
00:33:44And still your family leaves you on the ground like trash.
00:33:47It's true that I love my family even though they treat me so poorly.
00:33:50But they once loved me too.
00:33:52And I can never forget that.
00:33:53It doesn't matter.
00:33:55I'll soon be gone from this place forever.
00:33:58Gone?
00:33:59Gone to where?
00:34:00My sister's heard my secret plan.
00:34:02I've been caught.
00:34:04What have you been hiding from us?
00:34:17You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
00:34:19I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace and you can travel home in my private
00:34:23carriage.
00:34:25Majesty, I do have one request.
00:34:26Name it and it is yours.
00:34:28I wish that my identity stays a secret.
00:34:30That no one outside of the people in this room will know what I have volunteered to do.
00:34:34I promise no one will know.
00:34:37Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name or mention what he promised to do today so long as Alistair
00:34:42is alive.
00:34:43This is my command under penalty of death.
00:34:55Three days.
00:34:57In three days I will be gone.
00:35:31Our realm is under dragon attack.
00:35:34The only way to end it is for one human to willingly enter the dragon valley as a sacrifice.
00:35:42Will anyone step forward to save the realm?
00:35:47I volunteer as sacrifice.
00:35:56You are young to have such a death wish.
00:35:59I'm 18, your majesty.
00:36:01My only wish is that my life means something.
00:36:04Very well.
00:36:05You shall travel to the dragon valley in three days time with the arrival of the full moon.
00:36:11And there you will die.
00:36:13Before you go, I must ask, you are so young, why would you give up your life so freely?
00:36:18I'm an orphan.
00:36:19Found near the dragon valley as a child, I have no true family to mourn me.
00:36:23That is because my family already treats me like I'm dead, though it was not always the case.
00:36:29I was raised a noble of House Quinn, by Lord Quinn and Lady Quinn.
00:36:37They took me in as a child and brought me up as one of their own.
00:36:45Lord Quinn taught me to ride.
00:36:47I'm doing it, Father, look!
00:36:49That's it, Alistair.
00:36:50Soon you shall be riding a horse like a knight.
00:36:53My mother, Lady Quinn, taught me to be gentle.
00:36:58Remember, Alistair, delicate.
00:37:07My sister, Elaine, blinded by a fever, taught me to see more than just what was on the surface.
00:37:35Dorian, the son of a defeated noble sent to my father as payment.
00:37:39I thought I found a brother that was like me.
00:37:42An orphan, except he came from noble birth.
00:37:46But it was not meant to be.
00:37:57While hunting, Dorian blamed me for a stab wound he gave him to me.
00:38:06There is room for only one foundling in this family.
00:38:14My family believed him.
00:38:16Father banished me from the house, ordering me to live in the stables.
00:38:23I've been there ever since, despite the pain.
00:38:26The Quinns loved me for many years.
00:38:30They saved my life.
00:38:32Now I can repay them by saving their lives and the realm.
00:38:36No one will miss me.
00:38:39You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
00:38:42I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace and you can travel home in my private
00:38:46carriage.
00:38:47Majesty, I do have one request.
00:38:48Name it and it is yours.
00:38:50I wish that my identity stays a secret.
00:38:53That no one outside of the people in this room will know what I have volunteered to do.
00:38:57I promise no one will know.
00:38:59Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name or mention what he promised to do today so long as Alistair
00:39:05is alive.
00:39:06This is my command under penalty of death.
00:39:18Three days.
00:39:20In three days I will be gone.
00:39:22In three days I will be gone.
00:39:43Just as I had hoped, the manor was quiet this early.
00:39:46There would be no family around to see me arriving from my secret trip to the capital.
00:39:52Though perhaps I've spoken too soon.
00:39:55They seem angry.
00:39:59And where have you been?
00:40:00There are dragons on the loose, boy.
00:40:02You should be guarding this manor with your life, not disappearing like a common coward.
00:40:07Forgive me, my lord.
00:40:10A stable rat dressed as a prince.
00:40:12You probably stole these clothes.
00:40:14You're lying!
00:40:15A thief in fancy clothes.
00:40:18Are the clothes we give you not enough?
00:40:19Did you have to go steal these?
00:40:29Yet again you embarrass our family.
00:40:32Your stolen clothes don't look so nice now.
00:40:34Come on, Kaya, ignore him.
00:40:35You are just a stable boy.
00:40:37The mud is where you belong and where you should stay.
00:40:46In three days I will be gone.
00:41:04Tell me, when do you plan to tell the quins that you volunteered as the dragon sacrifice?
00:41:08You know, but how?
00:41:12People see me as nothing more than a loyal butler, but there is more to me than meets the eye.
00:41:31I've decided not to tell them.
00:41:33They'll find out soon enough.
00:41:35Will you keep this between us?
00:41:38Yes.
00:41:39I will keep your secret.
00:41:40The realm needs a sacrifice, not a family scandal.
00:41:43A heart can break twice, boy.
00:41:45Once from cruelties and once from silence.
00:41:50Then let mine break quietly.
00:41:53Emerus was the man who found me as a baby.
00:41:56Later, he would come to work for my family.
00:41:59I know I can trust him.
00:42:01Certainly more than my family.
00:42:06That scream came from Lady Quinn's rose garden.
00:42:09Mother!
00:42:15My roses.
00:42:17My beautiful, innocent roses.
00:42:20They're dead.
00:42:25Mother, someone put salt in the soil.
00:42:28Nothing can survive in your garden.
00:42:29Who could have done this?
00:42:31Alistair was angry that you praised my pruning yesterday.
00:42:34That's not true.
00:42:35I've been gone and only just now returned.
00:42:37Gone where?
00:42:38To destroy the evidence.
00:42:39We should search his room.
00:42:44There is nothing to find.
00:42:46I swear, please believe me.
00:42:49There, under his bed.
00:43:01I don't believe my eyes.
00:43:03A sack of salt.
00:43:04Half empty.
00:43:13I told you he did it.
00:43:15Those roses were the one thing I trusted you with.
00:43:19How could you...
00:43:23I swear I didn't harm your roses.
00:43:25I haven't even been here long enough to do it.
00:43:27You saw me arrive early this morning.
00:43:29That's true.
00:43:30Alistair wasn't here this morning.
00:43:32Yes.
00:43:32Very convenient that he was absent.

00:43:37What?
00:43:37No, that isn't what I was doing.
00:43:39Then what were you doing?
00:43:40Where were you exactly, Alistair?
00:43:42I can't say.
00:43:44But all become clear in three days.
00:43:46It's clear to me now.
00:43:48You intentionally destroyed my wife's prized roses.
00:43:51I didn't.
00:43:52Please, mother.
00:43:53Do not call me that.
00:43:55You've changed, Alistair.
00:43:57I don't know this person you've become.
00:43:58I'm not your mother and you're not my son.
00:44:01My heart is breaking.
00:44:03Her words hurt worse than any beating ever could.
00:44:09First, you crippled Dorian on the hunt.

00:44:37It's been hard for him to adjust to having me around as a foster brother.

00:44:41Dorian, you're so kind despite everything Alistair has done to you.

00:46:10the cleanest stable boy I know.
00:46:13If only they knew what I have promised to do.
00:46:16My sacrifice to the Dragon King would earn a real toast,
00:46:20not this nasty joke.
00:46:26My lords,
00:46:28the family sheep,
00:46:28they have escaped from their pins into the night.
00:46:32How could this have happened?
00:46:34Alistair is the stable boy.
00:46:36It was his responsibility.
00:46:37He must have let them escape.
00:46:41I couldn't believe it.
00:46:42I cared for those sheep and would never let them loose.

00:46:47With dragons in the realm,
00:46:48I must hurry to save their lives.
00:47:00Come on, sheep.
00:47:01Come back to your pens.
00:47:06My worst fear.
00:47:07A dragon at my family's home.
00:47:12It will kill me.
00:47:14Now I'll never make it to the Vale.
00:47:15Never save the realm.
00:47:19Just make it quick.
00:47:35Why haven't you killed me?
00:47:39Well, well, well.
00:47:41There you are.
00:47:42Dorian,
00:47:43come to rub it in my face.
00:47:44He has no idea the danger he's in.
00:47:49Dorian, you must leave.
00:47:51I wouldn't miss the sight of you scrambling for the world.
00:47:54You see,
00:47:55I was the one that let the sheep out of their pens.
00:48:00I did it because I knew that you would be blamed.
00:48:04There is only room for one of us in House Quinn,
00:48:07and it will be...
00:48:08me.
00:48:10Finally,
00:48:11Dorian admits his plan.
00:48:13He wants to make my family hate me and love him.
00:48:22But Dorian has no idea what danger he's gotten us into.
00:48:25I need to act now,
00:48:26or we both will die.
00:48:29Brother, watch out!
00:48:47Alistair attacked me.
00:48:49He spooked the sheep and caused a stampede.
00:48:52It's not true.
00:48:54There was a dragon.
00:48:55I was only trying to save Dorian.
00:48:57The dragon that almost burnt us both alive has disappeared.
00:49:00And where has this dragon gone?
00:49:02Why do you keep lying?
00:49:04Father, please,
00:49:04don't be so hard on Alistair.
00:49:06He only lies like this because he is so jealous of me.
00:49:08I can't stand there.
00:49:24Let's go again.
00:49:25Grandpa, we just had clues.
00:49:27Cyrus?
00:49:29I've chatted, Jeff.
00:49:32Mother?
00:49:34Father?
00:49:49My hidden magic will reset your broken bones, but it will be painful.
00:49:58The pain of Emerus setting my bones back into place was great,
00:50:02but nothing compared to the pain of how my family treats me.
00:50:08You have done so much for the Quins.
00:50:12You saved your sister Kaya's life.
00:50:17Don't worry, Kaya, I'm here.
00:50:20Alistair, go. Save yourself. I'm done for, brother.
00:50:28The hell you are! You're going to make it. I'll get you to your horse.
00:50:35Alistair!
00:50:36And nearly lost yours.
00:50:40You nursed your blind sister Elaine through fever.
00:50:43Back! Back!
00:50:45And protected the animals of the stable with your life.
00:50:50And still your family leaves you on the ground like trash.
00:50:54It's true that I love my family even though they treat me so poorly.
00:50:57But they once loved me too, and I can never forget that.
00:50:59It doesn't matter.
00:51:01I'll soon be gone from this place forever.
00:51:05Gone? Gone to where?
00:51:06My sister's heard my secret plan.
00:51:09I've been caught.
00:51:10What have you been hiding from us?
00:51:23You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
00:51:25I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace,
00:51:28and you can travel home in my private carriage.
00:51:31Majesty, I do have one request.
00:51:33Name it, and it is yours.
00:51:34I wish that my identity stays a secret.
00:51:36That no one outside of the people in this room
00:51:39will know what I have volunteered to do.
00:51:41I promise no one will know.
00:51:43Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name
00:51:46or mention what he promised to do today
00:51:48so long as Alistair is alive.
00:51:49This is my command, under penalty of death.
00:52:02Three days.
00:52:03In three days I will be gone.
00:52:38Our realm is under dragon attack.
00:52:41The only way to end it is for one human
00:52:43to willingly enter the Dragon Valley
00:52:45as a sacrifice.
00:52:48Will anyone step forward to save the realm?
00:52:53I volunteer as sacrifice.
00:53:03You are young to have such a death wish.
00:53:05I'm 18, your majesty.
00:53:07My only wish is that my life means something.
00:53:10Very well.
00:53:11You shall travel to the Dragon Valley
00:53:13in three days' time with the arrival of the full moon.
00:53:17And there you will die.
00:53:19Before you go, I must ask,
00:53:21You are so young,
00:53:22why would you give up your life so freely?
00:53:24I'm an orphan.
00:53:25Found near the Dragon Valley as a child,
00:53:27I have no true family to mourn me.
00:53:29That is because my family already treats me like I'm dead,
00:53:32though it was not always the case.
00:53:35I was raised a noble of House Quinn
00:53:38by Lord Quinn and Lady Quinn.
00:53:43They took me in as a child
00:53:44and brought me up as one of their own.
00:53:51Lord Quinn taught me to ride.
00:53:54I'm doing it, Father, look!
00:53:55That's it, Alistair.
00:53:56Soon you shall be riding a horse like a knight.
00:53:59My mother, Lady Quinn,
00:54:01taught me to be gentle.
00:54:04Remember, Alistair,
00:54:05delicate.
00:54:13My older sister,
00:54:14the brave knight Kaya,
00:54:16taught me to fight.
00:54:17Better luck next time, brother.
00:54:21And my sister Elaine,
00:54:23blinded by a fever,
00:54:24taught me to see more than just what was on the surface.
00:54:40Dorian,
00:54:41the son of a defeated noble sent to my father as payment.
00:54:45I thought I found a brother that was like me.
00:54:48An orphan,
00:54:49except he came from noble birth.
00:54:52But it was not meant to be.
00:55:03While hunting,
00:55:05Dorian blamed me for a stab wound he gave me.
00:55:12There is room for only one foundling in this family.
00:55:20My family believed him.
00:55:22Father banished me from the house,
00:55:25ordering me to live in the stables.
00:55:29I've been there ever since,
00:55:31despite the pain.
00:55:32The Quinns loved me for many years.
00:55:36They saved my life.
00:55:38Now I can repay them by saving their lives,
00:55:41and the realm.
00:55:42No one will miss me.
00:55:46You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
00:55:48I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace,
00:55:50and you can travel home in my private carriage.
00:55:53Majesty, I do have one request.
00:55:55Name it, and it is yours.
00:55:57I wish that my identity stays a secret.
00:55:59That no one outside of the people in this room
00:56:01will know what I have volunteered to do.
00:56:03I promise no one will know.
00:56:06Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name
00:56:08or mention what he promised to do today,
00:56:10so long as Alistair is alive.
00:56:12This is my command,
00:56:13under penalty of death.
00:56:24Three days.
00:56:26In three days I will be gone.
00:56:49Just as I had hoped,
00:56:51the manor was quiet this early.
00:56:53There would be no family around
00:56:54to see me arriving from my secret trip to the capital.
00:56:58Though perhaps I've spoken too soon.
00:57:02They seem angry.
00:57:05And where have you been?
00:57:06There are dragons on the loose, boy.
00:57:09You should be guarding this manor with your life,
00:57:11not disappearing like a common coward.
00:57:13Forgive me, my lord.
00:57:16A stable rat dressed as a prince.
00:57:18You probably stole these clothes.
00:57:20You're lying!
00:57:22A thief in fancy clothes.
00:57:24Are the clothes we give you not enough?
00:57:26Did you have to go steal these?
00:57:35Yet again, you embarrass our family.
00:57:38Your stolen clothes don't look so nice now.
00:57:40Come on, Kaya, ignore him.
00:57:42You are just a stable boy.
00:57:44The mud is where you belong
00:57:45and where you should stay.
00:57:53In three days I will be gone.
00:58:10Tell me,
00:58:11when do you plan to tell the Quinns
00:58:13that you volunteered as the dragon sacrifice?
00:58:15You know?
00:58:15But how?
00:58:19People see me as nothing more than a loyal butler,
00:58:21but there is more to me than meets the eye.
00:58:37I've decided not to tell them.
00:58:39They'll find out soon enough.
00:58:41Will you keep this between us?
00:58:44Yes.
00:58:45I will keep your secret.
00:58:46The realm needs a sacrifice,
00:58:48not a family scandal.
00:58:49A heart can break twice, boy.
00:58:50Once from cruelties
00:58:52and once from silence.
00:58:56Then let mine break quietly.
00:59:00Emrys was the man who found me as a baby.
00:59:02Later, he would come to work for my family.
00:59:05I know I can trust him.
00:59:07Certainly more than my family.
00:59:12That scream came from Lady Quinn's rose garden.
00:59:15Mother!
00:59:21My roses!
00:59:23My beautiful, innocent roses!
00:59:26They're dead!
00:59:31Mother,
00:59:32someone put salt in the soil.
00:59:34Nothing can survive in your garden.
00:59:36Who could have done this?
00:59:37Alistair was angry
00:59:38that you praised my pruning yesterday.
00:59:40That's not true.
00:59:41I've been gone and only just now returned.
00:59:43Gone where?
00:59:44To destroy the evidence?
00:59:45We should search his room.
00:59:50There is nothing to find.
00:59:52I swear, please believe me.
00:59:55There!
00:59:56Under his bed!
01:00:07I don't believe my eyes.
01:00:09A sack of salt.
01:00:10Half empty.
01:00:19I told you he did it.
01:00:21Those roses were the one thing I trusted you with.
01:00:25How could you?
01:00:26Oh!
01:00:29I swear I didn't harm your roses.
01:00:31I haven't even been here long enough to do it.
01:00:33You saw me arrive early this morning.
01:00:35That's true.
01:00:37Alistair wasn't here this morning.
01:00:38Yes.
01:00:39Very convenient that he was absent.
01:00:41Almost like he knew he needed an alibi.
01:00:43What?
01:00:43No, that isn't what I was doing.
01:00:45Then what were you doing?
01:00:46Where were you exactly, Alistair?
01:00:48I can't say.
01:00:50But it all will become clear in three days.
01:00:52It's clear to me now.
01:00:54You intentionally destroyed my wife's prized roses.
01:00:57I didn't.
01:00:58Please, mother.
01:00:59Do not call me that.
01:01:01You've changed, Alistair.
01:01:03I don't know this person you've become.
01:01:05I'm not your mother and you're not my son.
01:01:07My heart is breaking.
01:01:09Her words hurt worse than any beating ever could.
01:01:15First, you crippled Dorian on the hunt.
01:01:17And now you murder mother's prized rose garden.
01:01:20I didn't do any of those things.
01:01:23Isn't it suspicious that Dorian knew exactly where to find the salt?
01:01:27How dare you accuse Dorian!
01:01:35Please, Kaya.
01:01:36Please believe me.
01:01:40Don't hurt him, dear sister.
01:01:42We should feel sorry for Alistair.
01:01:44It's been hard for him to adjust to having me around as a foster brother.
01:01:47But I understand.
01:01:48Dorian, you're so kind despite everything Alistair has done to you.
01:01:51It's a shining light that even I can see.
01:01:54If only they knew the truth.
01:01:57That it was Dorian stabbed himself to turn the Quinns against me.
01:02:00The Quin family will blame you for this.
01:02:02And love me in return.
01:02:06It doesn't matter.
01:02:08In three days I'll be gone and never return.
01:02:13It took so long to clean the mud off me that I arrived at dinner late.
01:02:16But, to my surprise, I found Dorian sitting in my usual seat at the family table.
01:02:22Excuse me, Dorian.
01:02:24There must be some mistake.
01:02:25You're in my seat.
01:02:27Rather than fight Dorian, I figured it best to treat him with kindness and hope he did the same.
01:02:33But Lord Quinn had other ideas.
01:02:35The only mistake, Alistair, is you thinking that there is a seat here for you at this table after what
01:02:40you did today.
01:02:41You may dine with the servants.
01:02:44Until you stop these desperate cries for attention, you will remain as you were when we found you.
01:02:49An outsider.
01:02:55Yes, my lord.
01:02:56Father, you'll regret the way you've treated me when I'm gone.
01:02:59If you only knew that I've already promised to save your life.
01:03:10Now that he's washed the mud off his stolen clothes, I'd like to propose a toast to Alistair, the cleanest
01:03:17stable boy I know.
01:03:19If only they knew what I have promised to do.
01:03:22My sacrifice to the Dragon King would earn a real toast, not this nasty joke.
01:03:33My lords, the family sheep, they have escaped from their pins into the night.
01:03:39How could this have happened?
01:03:41Alistair is the stable boy.
01:03:42It was his responsibility.
01:03:43He must have let them escape.
01:03:47I couldn't believe it.
01:03:48I cared for those sheep and would never let them loose.
01:03:51But there's no time to argue.
01:03:53With dragons in the realm, I must hurry to save their lives.
01:04:06Come on, sheep.
01:04:07Come back to your pens.
01:04:12My worst fear.
01:04:13A dragon at my family's home.
01:04:18It will kill me.
01:04:20Now I'll never make it to the Vale.
01:04:22Never save the realm.
01:04:25Just make it quick.
01:04:42Why haven't you killed me?
01:04:46Well, well, well.
01:04:47There you are.
01:04:49Dorian, come to rub it in my face.
01:04:50He has no idea the danger he's in.
01:04:55Dorian, you must leave.
01:04:57I wouldn't miss the sight of you scrambling for the world.
01:05:00You see, I was the one that let the sheep out of their pens.
01:05:07I did it because I knew that you would be blamed.
01:05:10There is only room for one of us in House Quinn, and it will be me.
01:05:17Finally, Dorian admits his plan.
01:05:20He wants to make my family hate me and love him.
01:05:28But Dorian has no idea what danger he's gotten us into.
01:05:31I need to act now or we both will die.
01:05:35Brother, watch out!
01:05:54Alistair attacked me.
01:05:55He spooked the sheep and caused a stampede.
01:05:59It's not true.
01:06:00There was a dragon.
01:06:01I was only trying to save Dorian.
01:06:03The dragon that almost burnt us both alive has disappeared.
01:06:06And where has this dragon gone?
01:06:08Why do you keep lying?
01:06:10Father, please, don't be so hard on Alistair.
01:06:12He only lies like this because he is so jealous of me.
01:06:31Father, please, don't be so jealous.
01:06:34And we'll tell you, we don't worry.
01:06:40Father?
01:06:55My hidden magic will reset your broken bones, but it will be painful.
01:07:05The pain of Emerus setting my bones back into place was great,
01:07:08but nothing compared to the pain of how my family treats me.
01:07:14You have done so much for the Quints.
01:07:18You saved your sister Kaya's life.
01:07:23Don't worry, Kaya, I'm here.
01:07:27Alistair, go. Save yourself. I'm done for, brother.
01:07:34The hell you are! You're gonna make it. I'll get you to your horse.
01:07:41Alistair!
01:07:42And nearly lost yours.
01:07:46You nursed your blind sister Elaine through fever.
01:07:50Back! Back!
01:07:51And protected the animals of the stable with your life.
01:07:56And still your family leaves you on the ground like trash.
01:08:00It's true that I love my family even though they treat me so poorly.
01:08:03But they once loved me too, and I can never forget that.
01:08:06It doesn't matter.
01:08:07I'll soon be gone from this place forever.
01:08:10Gone?
01:08:11Gone to where?
01:08:12My sister's heard my secret plan.
01:08:15I've been caught.
01:08:16What have you been hiding from us?
01:08:29You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
01:08:32I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace,
01:08:34and you can travel home in my private carriage.
01:08:37Majesty, I do have one request.
01:08:39Name it and it is yours.
01:08:40I wish that my identity stays a secret.
01:08:42I wish that no one outside of the people in this room
01:08:45will know what I have volunteered to do.
01:08:47I promise no one will know.
01:08:49Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name
01:08:52or mention what he promised to do today,
01:08:54so long as Alistair is alive.
01:08:56This is my command.
01:08:57Under penalty of death.
01:09:08Three days.

01:16:11i know i can trust him
01:16:13certainly more than my family
01:16:18that scream came from lady quinn's rose garden
01:16:21mother
01:16:27my roses
01:16:28my beautiful innocent roses
01:16:32they're dead
01:16:37mother
01:16:38someone put salt in the soil
01:16:40nothing can survive in your garden
01:16:42who could have done this
01:16:43alistair was angry that you praised my pruning yesterday
01:16:46that's not true
01:16:47i've been gone and only just now returned
01:16:49gone where
01:16:50to destroy the evidence
01:16:51we should search his room
01:16:56there is nothing to find
01:16:59i swear please believe me
01:17:01there under his bed
01:17:13i don't believe my eyes
01:17:15a sack of salt
01:17:16half empty
01:17:25i told you he did it
01:17:27those roses were the one thing i trusted you with
01:17:31how could you
01:17:35i swear i didn't harm your roses
01:17:37i haven't even been here long enough to do it
01:17:39you saw me arrive early this morning
01:17:41that's true
01:17:42alistair wasn't here this morning
01:17:44yes very convenient that he was absent
01:17:47almost like he knew he needed an alibi
01:17:49what no that isn't what i was doing
01:17:51then what were you doing
01:17:52where were you exactly
01:17:54alistair
01:17:54i can't say
01:17:57but all will become clear in three days
01:17:58it's clear to me now
01:18:00you intentionally destroyed my wife's prized roses
01:18:03i i didn't
01:18:04please mother
01:18:05do not call me that
01:18:07you've changed alistair
01:18:09i don't know this person you've become
01:18:11i'm not your mother and you're not my son
01:18:13my heart is breaking
01:18:15her words hurt worse than any beating ever could
01:18:21first you crippled dorian on the hunt
01:18:23and now you murder mother's prized rose garden
01:18:26i didn't do any of those things
01:18:30isn't it suspicious that dorian knew exactly where to find the salt
01:18:33how dare you accuse dorian
01:18:41please kaya
01:18:42please believe me
01:18:46don't hurt him dear sister
01:18:48we should feel sorry for alistair
01:18:50it's been hard for him to adjust to having me around as a foster brother
01:18:53but i understand
01:18:54doran
01:18:54you're so kind despite everything alistair has done to you
01:18:57it's a shining light that even i can see
01:19:00if only they knew the truth
01:19:03that it was dorian stabbed himself to turn the quinn's against me
01:19:06the quinn family will blame you for this
01:19:08and love me in return
01:19:13it doesn't matter
01:19:14in three days i'll be gone and never return
01:19:19it took so long to clean the mud off me that i arrived at dinner late
01:19:23but to my surprise
01:19:24i found dorian sitting in my usual seat at the family table
01:19:28excuse me dorian
01:19:30there must be some mistake
01:19:31you're in my seat
01:19:33rather than fight dorian
01:19:35i figured it best to treat him with kindness
01:19:37and hope he did the same
01:19:39but lord quinn had other ideas
01:19:41the only mistake alistair
01:19:44is you thinking that there is a seat here for you at this table after what you did today
01:19:47you may dine with the servants
01:19:50until you stop these desperate cries for attention
01:19:53you will remain as you were when we found you
01:19:56an outsider
01:20:01yes my lord
01:20:02father
01:20:03you'll regret the way you've treated me when i'm gone
01:20:05if you only knew that i've already promised to save your life
01:20:15thank you
01:20:16now that he's washed the mud off his stolen clothes
01:20:19i'd like to propose a toast
01:20:20to alistair
01:20:22the cleanest stable boy i know
01:20:26if only they knew what i have promised to do
01:20:29my sacrifice to the dragon king would earn a real toast
01:20:32not this nasty joke
01:20:39my lords
01:20:40the family sheep
01:20:41they have escaped from their pins into the night
01:20:45how could this have happened
01:20:47alistair is the stable boy
01:20:48it was his responsibility
01:20:49he must have let them escape
01:20:53i couldn't believe it
01:20:55i cared for those sheep and would never let them loose
01:20:57but there's no time to argue
01:20:59with dragons in the realm i must hurry to save their lives
01:21:12come on sheep
01:21:13come back to your pens
01:21:18my worst fear
01:21:19a dragon at my family's home
01:21:25it will kill me
01:21:26now i'll never make it to the veil

01:22:01dorian you must leave
01:22:03i wouldn't miss the sight of you scrambling for the world
01:22:06you see
01:22:07i was the one that let the sheep out of their pens
01:22:13i did it because i knew that you would be blamed
01:22:16there is only room for one of us in house quinn
01:22:19and it will be
01:22:20me
01:22:23finally
01:22:24dorian admits his plan
01:22:26he wants to make my family hate me and love him
01:22:34but dorian has no idea what danger he's gotten us into
01:22:38i need to act now or we both will die
01:22:41brother watch out
01:23:00alistair attacked me
01:23:01he spooked the sheep and caused a stampede
01:23:05it's not true
01:23:06there was a dragon
01:23:07i was only trying to save dorian
01:23:09the dragon that almost burnt us both alive has disappeared
01:23:12and where has this dragon gone
01:23:14why do you keep lying
01:23:16father please don't be so hard on alistair
01:23:18he only lies like this because he is so jealous of me
