I hate this never-ending countryside,
Father should have it burned,
I trust the Lady Gretchen is feeling calmer this morning?
I said I'm not hungry!
There are ways in which she could be… managed,
That won't be necessary,
Lady Gretchen, I trust you're happy with your carriage?
We stole the very best for you,
A rose for the Rose of Hedgemoor,
These reminded me of your beauty, of your charm, your sweetness,
Get out,
You don't give me orders!
Like it or not, your future lies with me,
I was raised to be a queen, not a hostage,
And that's why we need you,
You and I will rule together
once I've introduced the Wolf to my little silver friend,
Cat got your tongue?
I'll never be your queen,
If you don't cooperate,
well, let's just say my magister is looking for an excuse
to practice his necromancy,
Finally, Ha!
Come on,
Come on, Chancer!
Come on, Chancer! Whoo!
-Come on, Keep up, -We're going as fast as we can!
No, we're going as fast as you can,
Right, That's it,
What are you doing?
We've been riding all night, Chancer needs food and water,
We can't stop now, We'll never catch Lucas at this rate,
Well, maybe you should have brought your royal carriage, my king,
A king keeps his friends safe, It's my fault Gretchen--
You can't blame yourself, You did nothing wrong, Did you?
I guess I… I pushed her away,
And Lucas was waiting,
Gretchen's a survivor,
I hope so,
She just seems so
helpless,
If you say so,
You know, refined and graceful,
-All the things a queen is meant to be, -You forgot cunning,
-What? -Look,
The Rose of Hedgemoor,
She's leaving us a trail,
Come on, Chancer!
Hold on! Wait up!
You disappoint me, They were a gift,
My father was right,
There really is only one way to control a willful queen,
Your father is a monster,
That's funny, My mother never complained,
And neither will you,
Vankaskan! Your patient is waiting!
Vankaskan!
My face!
Don't just stand there, After her!
No, no, no!
This is between her and me!
Whoa!
Do you honestly expect to survive out here alone, Princess?
Looking for me?
You must feel very silly…
…to be outfoxed
by a girl,
Guards!
Fear not, Princess,
You're in excellent hands,
Well? After her!
End this,
Ugh,
Such a waste,
Of course, I may yet have a use for him,
Do what you must, but quickly,
I hope no one is foolish enough to follow your trail,
They can expect a very lively reception,
How many times? I've told you all I know,
But why?
Why did you help Drew and Whitley escape in the first place?
"Escape"? They're not prisoners,
Hector swore he would stay out of trouble,
Or perhaps my orders don't matter to you, "Lord Chancellor,"
-Uh… I-- -Perhaps he knew better than to stop them,
Yes, Besides, if anyone can catch Lucas, it's Drew,
Broghan, prepare the Woodland Watch to go after them,
Bring back Whitley, Drew, and our future queen,
Yes, Father,
Hector, are you sure there's nothing else
you want to share with the Council?
Mm-mm,
Such as… how you're so sure that Prince Lucas is heading south?
Enough, You are berating this boy simply for helping a friend,
If Hector is withholding information, then we need…
The Wolf shall fall,
Hector?
Hector!
Very well, You may stay in Highcliff,
But you must surrender your post as Lord Chancellor,
-Bergan! -It's all right,
I understand, I… I'm not to be trusted,
I shall, uh, burden you no more with my presence,
Perhaps you'd like to polish it first?
Vincent, what are you doing?
Hello, brother,
Careful, Ringlin,
We must show our respect to the Baron of Redmire,
Well, did you miss me?
See any?
The last rose was a mile back, We're never gonna find any now,
Ah! Star Sage,
Never seen so many in one place,
We used to grow it on the farm, It's supposed to bring luck,
Yeah, you look pretty lucky,
Sure, Make fun of the farm boy,
I was joking,
Drew!
I need a lot more than luck to pass myself off as a king,
Hector was right, I made all the wrong choices,
-I can't even catch one Lion, -Then you don't see what I see,
Wait,
Oh, not again, Stop, stop,
Please, old woman, Leave me be,
Who are you calling old? Even your beard has wrinkles,
They must be Romari,
-Who? -Romari,
Fortune tellers from the Longridings,
You two!
Are you going to help me or just stand there?
We'd love to help, Miss…
Baba Korga,
Um…
Hold him,
Here,
A little more, a little more, Yes,
-Yes, -Uh… We'd love to stay, but--
Drew, look,
Is that a bite mark?
And now,
we pray to the Wolf,
Uh…
Oh, yes, This will be perfect for the party,
Um, how are you paying for this party?
Come, little brother,
As Baron of Redmire, I am expected to entertain,
Um, but… but you're not the Baron, I am,
For now,
You really think that title should go to a weak little magister like you?
Better than a preening, arrogant--
The Wolf shall fall,
You just focus on your fusty old books and leave the money to me,
I've got it all planned out, When my inheritance is spent…
…I'll just use yours,
By tooth and claw, by heart and might
He protects the weak, he rules the night
Friends will follow, foes shall fall
Hail the Wolf, in the moon's thrall
It's slowing the infection, but I can't stop it,
What did this to him?
The bite of the dead man walking,
They move, but don't breathe, Look, but don't see,
It killed our horse and then turned on us,
What did?
Prince Lucas's guard,
Where did he attack? Where is he?
A short way down the road, but you are not listening,
It cannot be stopped,
You can't kill what is already dead,
Wanna bet?
Thank you for coming, Mind how you go,
-Thank you, Vincent, -Safe travels,
This room is wrecked,
This is the life I was born to, and I intend to enjoy it,
Oh, which reminds me… Your resignation?
Officially handing Redmire over to me,
Go ahead, take it, If not for me, do it for Father,
Do not talk about my father,
Our father, And I will talk about him how I please,
Why do you think he sent you to become a magister?
Because you were weak,
You will always be weak and afraid,
I overreacted,
-Ah, What are you hiding? -Please…
-It's not what it looks like, -It's exactly what it looks like,
Communing with the dead? We both know that's forbidden,
If anyone found out what you've done here, you'd be banished,
For life,
What are we doing? He could be anywhere,
We'll find him,
We need a plan, A king should have a plan,
I never think, I just act,
-What are you doing? -It's for luck,
Star Sage has amazing healing powers,
It may have grown on a farm, but it can work miracles,
Achieve greatness,
Just like you,
Over there,
Careful,
We can do no more,
Be at peace,
Stay back,
Wait,
No! No!
What?
Whitley!
Serve Lion, Kill Wolf,
What is it?
Looks like necromancy, Whitley, don't get too close,
Wolf must die,
No!
Sorry,
-My sword! -What?
Find my sword!
Drew!
Yeah, Bit busy here!
Drew!
When I say "duck," you duck!
-What? -Duck!
Oh…
Only a magister could do this,
-Vankaskan, -If you're right, we're in trouble,
Come on,
A little bit, Yes, yes,
Keep drinking,
I know, Star Sage, right?
The Wolf is a quick learner,
You know what I am?
We are not fortune tellers,
We divine the truth from lies,
I see you, Wolf,
Afraid, Uncertain,
Many dangers ahead,
Believe me, I know,
But you think you are alone, That is where you are wrong,
Your friends have their own struggles…
…their own secrets,
Each feels lost in their own battles,
but each is stronger than they know,
All of you are better together,
united by truth and love,
What else is there?
Truth and love,
Hey,
Uh… I've never said this to anyone,
and I know I'm not good with words, but--
-You're shivering, What's wrong? -Nothing, Just… just cold,
Right,
Just…
I wanted to… I needed to tell you--
What we need is sleep, We have to leave at first light,
Right,
Good night, then,
Truth and love, What else is there?
