00:00HOLD!
00:30Oh, God!
00:57There are many stories of chivalry.
01:00Where the heroic knight saves the damsel in distress.
01:05This is not one of them.
01:21Form the line!
01:29No!
01:30No!
01:31No!
01:32No!
01:33No!
01:34No!
01:35No!
01:36No!
01:37No!
01:38No!
01:39No!
01:40No!
01:41No!
01:42No!
01:43No!
01:44No!
01:45No!
01:47No!
01:50No!
01:51No!
01:53No!
01:54Move!
01:55The last I could find.
02:22Did you take the tapestries into town like Father asked?
02:25This morning, we should take the furs, too.
02:28And the drapes.
02:29Not the drapes.
02:30You hate that pattern in your room anyway.
02:32They serve a purpose.
02:34Floria, our people are freezing and starving.
02:44Who'd come this far north?
02:46Yes.
02:54Elodie, why are they leaving?
02:57There's nothing left for them here, Floria.
02:58There's no way here.
03:01Come on, come on.
03:04Stop.
03:09Get up!
03:12It's mine!
03:14Hey!
03:14Give me my mouth to the old man!
03:17Bad enough!
03:17Share this with your sister.
03:19Come on.
03:20Did you see who it was?
03:21A stranger, my lady.
03:22They may take whatever wood they can carry.
03:25I'll see to it.
03:25I'm sorry.
03:25Come on, Floor.
03:26Next day.
03:27Get dirty, Floor!
03:31Father?
03:36You must be Elodie.
03:38I am.
03:53She will do.
03:55Huh?
04:00We await your decision.
04:01Thank you, Your Holiness.
04:05Please, this way.
04:09Father?
04:10What's happening?
04:12Who is that?
04:16Stepmother?
04:19Well, what is it?
04:21From the Queen of Aurea.
04:23The Queen of Aurea.
04:28Proposal.
04:29Oh my goodness.
04:31I have made a match.
04:33May I?
04:36He is a prince.
04:38A prince?
04:39Ah.
04:40I know you've always wished to travel, as did your mother.
04:44Go.
04:45See the world.
04:46God.
04:47This man, he has a fleet of ships.
04:48Carriages full of gold.
04:51That's no reason to marry.
04:54We need this.
04:56As stores are empty, we will not make it to the Thor.
05:00No.
05:02Your people need you.
05:05Hey.
05:09This is who we are.
05:10Elodie.
05:11What's the matter?
05:12Nothing.
05:13Nothing.
05:14Father says it's natural to be nervous about meeting your new husband and his family.
05:19They're strangers.
05:21I've never even heard of the Kingdom of Aurea until Father sprung this on to me.
05:24I'm the only one person to marry me in my house.
05:25I'm the only one person to marry us and marry you and marry us.
05:28I've never heard of you.
05:29What is it?
05:31I don't know.
05:32I don't know why I don't know to marry you.
05:34I know what I don't know and be angry about.
05:35It's gone.
05:36If I saw a girl next door, I know I've never heard of you.
05:37Father says it's natural to be nervous about meeting your new husband and his family
05:43They're strangers
05:45I've never even heard of the kingdom of Oriya until father sprung this on me
05:49Are you crazy?
05:55What are you two doing up there?
05:57Come down here
05:58Come on
06:04This is how you want your prince to meet you
06:07Skin, cold as a corpse, nose all drippy and wet
06:11What have I been telling you about this entire trip?
06:16First impressions of everything
06:17Come on, let's go
06:19I have good news, girl
06:42The captain informs me we approach Oriya's coastline
06:46It should be any time now
06:49Father?
07:00What in the world?
07:08Looks almost
07:09Almost like a
07:11Try again
07:11Goodham
07:20God
07:21I know
07:21How could you say
07:21I know
07:22I know
07:23How could you say
07:26Be careful
07:26As that
07:30I know
07:32I know
07:33I know
07:34It should be
07:34I know
07:35It's okay.
07:58Oh, my heavens.
08:05I pray this is to your liking, my lady.
08:12The bath has been drawn, and supper has been carried hence.
08:18At first light, I shall return to convey you, to meet his royal highness, Henry Prince of Auria.
08:28Floria, stop dodging everything.
08:33Is something wrong?
08:35I just hope he's kind.
08:38And well-read.
08:40Handsome.
08:43Let's all give Ella thee some privacy.
08:46She can use the time to settle in, as we all could.
08:50Oh, indeed.
08:50Come in.
08:52I swear.
08:55Oh, my God.
08:57Bye.
08:57I swear.
09:01Bye.
09:06Bye.
09:10Bye.
09:10Bye.
09:40M'lady, everyone's waiting.
10:40I can't sleep.
11:09I still can't believe we're going to live here from now on.
11:18You and me both.
11:20I keep thinking if only Mother were alive, I could just talk to her about all of this.
11:26Perhaps you could talk to Stepmother.
11:31She means well, even if she is a bit exhausting.
11:35It'll be fine.
11:41You'll see.
11:44Your Elodie, you can do anything.
11:46What is your greatest strength?
11:53I always tell the truth, Your Majesty.
11:55Some might call that a weakness.
11:59Do you know your heart?
12:02I believe I do, Your Majesty.
12:04And what is it telling you now?
12:06In truth, it is beating too loudly for me to hear much of anything, Your Majesty.
12:09Arise, Elodie.
12:20I'm Henry.
12:21Very pleased to finally meet you, my lady.
12:26We all are.
12:28My son understates our joy.
12:32And if I may say so, your father has understated your beauty.
12:37I've never known my father to understate much of anything, Your Majesty.
12:40I see she arrives with some wit.
12:43Should you want it or not, Your Majesty?
12:46And you must be Floria.
12:49It seems even a harsh climb can grow the fairest flowers.
12:53I love your castle.
12:55I mean, I really love it.
12:57Like a lot.
13:00Your Majesty.
13:01You're to make yourself at home, child.
13:03We elders have some trivial matters, like weddings, to attend to.
13:08Yes, your correspondence made mention of some particulars you wish to discuss in person.
13:15The two of us can confer in private.
13:18Yes.
13:18It's nothing to bore our young people with.
13:21They have a far more important task at hand.
13:25They must get to know each other.
13:33Do you have any questions of me?
13:44Questions of what subject?
13:46You may choose the subject.
13:50What do you think about me?
13:53Pardon?
13:55Well, you seem disinterested at best.
13:57Which is your prerogative, but I'd like to know if the person that I'm being guilted into marrying truly likes me or not.
14:05If my attitude offends you, I do apologize.
14:08It was not my intent.
14:12However, I was unaware that, um, you were being guilted into anything.
14:16The land where I come from is exactly how your mother explained.
14:24Harsh and barren.
14:27This union will save us.
14:29I've made my peace with it.
14:31My happiness is a small price to pay for the future of my people.
14:39Is something wrong?
14:40It's just...
14:45In the letter you sent in advance for your arrival, you sounded different.
14:50Different? In what way?
14:52Far more, um...
14:55Flowery?
14:58Maybe that's because my stepmother dictated most of it, and my sister's idea was the heart.
15:07Heart?
15:07I thought it was some sort of provincial insignia.
15:14You actually drew this.
15:19Hold on, it's a maze, isn't it?
15:21I hope that you will get to know my heart. That is very clever.
15:26I used to make them for Floria when she was little.
15:30May I ask you another question?
15:32Certainly.
15:33Do they always follow you so closely?
15:37It's just them giving me space.
15:41That must be tiring.
15:43It is, actually.
15:47I saw some horses being left unattended at the stables.
15:54Do you ride?
15:55I have a job.
15:56You are still there.
15:58All right.
15:59So that's after school, I was again to our end.
16:01No help but not into spider.
16:03Do you aÃ?
16:04It isn't if you are even in the jungle bouazi?
16:10You're taken away from this hangover.
16:13I will be brave.
16:14I love you.
16:15You have to die.
16:16Open them away.
16:17Wait.
16:18Go?
16:18Yeah.
16:19I don't know if that would be dangerous.
16:20You don't need anything to go into your life.
16:21But not in the room.
16:22You have to beиль�pan.
16:22Where'd you learn to ride like that?
16:27My mother.
16:29Which way now?
16:31Well, depends on what you want to see.
16:34Everything.
16:36Very well.
16:53What happened in there?
16:57Speak already.
16:59Is the wedding still on?
17:01Aye.
17:02You settled on a fair bride price.
17:05More gold than I can ever imagine.
17:11Then why do you look so?
17:13No, it's nothing. I'm fine.
17:17Tell me, you didn't say anything to embarrass us.
17:20No, I did not.
17:21Because it's very important that our two families get along.
17:25Not only for Elodie's sake, but for ours.
17:27I said nothing.
17:29Nothing's wrong.
17:33I saw something.
17:35High on the mountain last night.
17:38Torches.
17:40You saw that?
17:42I couldn't sleep.
17:45It was an ancient ceremony.
17:48Or, rather, one of three.
17:51They're very significant to my family.
17:53To our whole kingdom, really.
17:54They, um...
17:55They honor our ancestors.
18:00That's why my mother chose these dates for our wedding.
18:04It is quite beautiful.
18:06Yes, I suppose.
18:07I really don't have anything else to compare it to.
18:12May I confide in you something?
18:15Yes.
18:16My greatest wish is to go see the world.
18:20Really...
18:21Set out and see it, you know?
18:24I do, actually.
18:25It's my life's dream.
18:27For as long as I can remember, I've longed to explore the distant lands.
18:35The ones you only read about.
18:41Perhaps one day we will.
18:45Perhaps.
18:46Perhaps.
18:46Everything so beautiful, Your Majesty.
19:09I'm glad you approve.
19:12Very elegant.
19:12You have impeccable taste.
19:19Everything is just so exquisite.
19:22I'm sorry.
19:23Is there something I can help you with?
19:25Oh.
19:26I just thought we might become better acquainted.
19:29Seeing as we're about to be family.
19:32Oh, this must be very exciting for you.
19:35Your father was a rope maker, was he not?
19:39The finest in the city.
19:40And here you are, you've climbed so high.
19:44Still, one mustn't forget one's station.
19:48Nor place undue import on what is ultimately a transaction born of necessity.
19:56Necessity?
19:57Well, your family needs money.
20:00My family needs a bride.
20:02What we don't need is more family.
20:04I wish all the best for Henry and Eloise.
20:09I'm merely...
20:09Elodie.
20:10Pardon?
20:13My stepdaughter.
20:15Her name is Elodie.
20:18That's what I said.
20:20Good day, Lady Bayford.
20:21It's perfect.
20:40Everything in here is so perfect.
20:46Stepmother.
20:49Is something the matter?
20:50Hello, dear.
20:53I know we haven't always been close.
20:57But I need you to listen to me now.
20:59This wedding...
21:01is a mistake.
21:03What?
21:06I don't understand.
21:07These people?
21:09I don't trust them.
21:10It's hard to explain.
21:12But a mother knows these things.
21:14Only yesterday you were enamored by this place.
21:16Floria.
21:17I was wrong.
21:19They may be royalty,
21:21but that doesn't make them good people.
21:25Well,
21:26what does Father think?
21:28He refuses to talk about it.
21:31And when I try to tell him my worries,
21:33he snaps at me.
21:34Because you're being unreasonable...
21:36That's enough, Floor.
21:37Elodie.
21:39I swear that I only want what's best for you.
21:48Am I interrupting something?
21:51No.
21:52Just...
21:55Girl talk.
21:59Well, tomorrow's a big day.
22:01And these girls, they need their rest.
22:06Think about what I said.
22:08There's still time.
22:10Time for what?
22:10I hope you know what you're doing.
22:25Good night, my angels.
22:28Good night, Father.
22:29Good night.
22:31Good night.
22:32Good night.
23:02Good night.
23:32Good night.
24:02Good night.
24:04Good night.
24:32Good night.
24:34Good night.
24:36Good night.
24:43You may kiss the bride.
24:45I present my son and new daughter, Elodie, Princess of Orion.
25:15Goodbye, Father.
25:45I hope I'm half as beautiful someday as you are today.
25:52Twice as beautiful.
25:56I love you.
25:57I love you.
26:15Where are we going?
26:24Do you remember how I told you about those ancient ceremonies up on the mountain?
26:28Yes.
26:29We're going to pay homage to my ancestors.
26:45There.
26:46I love you.
26:50I love you.
27:11Welcome, Princess.
27:28For generations, it has been our task, our duty, to protect our people.
27:35The price is dear, but so too the reward.
27:38So tonight, you join a long line of women who have helped to build this kingdom.
27:51When our ancestors first lay claim to this island, they found they were not its sole inhabitants.
27:59A creature dwelt here first, the last of its kind.
28:03With savage bloodlust, the beast left its lair and set upon the village.
28:11So the king gathered his soldiers to avenge his people.
28:16But their steel was no match for the monster.
28:20And each man met his end.
28:23Each save one.
28:25For the king, the beast had a far worse fate in store.
28:32Give up his three beloved daughters, and the island could be shared.
28:36A cruel torture.
28:39He adored his daughters.
28:41But his duty to his subjects was stronger.
28:46And so a pact was made.
28:48The three princesses met their end in the belly of the beast, and a kingdom was born.
28:53It is this sacrifice we commemorate every generation.
29:04A tradition going back centuries.
29:18Your hand, child.
29:19A legacy of honor and duty, you now inherit, Princess Elodie of Aurea.
29:33A legacy of honor and duty, you now inherit, Princess Elodie of Aurea.
29:33Let our two lines mingle, and fast become one.
29:51She is now of royal blood.
29:54To ensure that our kingdom thrives forevermore, pay your due to the realm.
30:14Toss the coin into the chasm.
30:15The ceremony is now complete.
30:32You may make your return.
30:38I'm supposed to carry you back.
30:40I'm fine with walking, really.
30:41Floria would love this part.
30:51Close your eyes.
30:53I've got you.
30:54I've got you.
31:11I'm sorry.
31:20I'm sorry.
31:20I'm sorry.
31:21I'm sorry.
