0:10
>> I see that you've received Mahad's
0:17
power will consume you as it did him.
0:20
Was this really the best course to take?
0:24
>> I would ask you a favor concerning this.
0:29
the arm ate away Mahad's mind. You must
0:33
and the 10-year limit on my life
0:37
>> You would bear a burden this heavy
0:40
>> Not for nothing, I assure you. This arm
0:43
has granted me 10 years.
0:46
I intend [music] to use them well, but
0:48
the million citizens of Seramis have
0:52
I will give [music] to them.
0:54
>> I can tell you're resolved to do this.
0:56
If I can't dissuade you, I can at least
0:58
give you this warding chain.
1:05
It looks like jewelry of some kind.
1:08
>> Something like that.
1:10
Your ancestors created it.
1:12
I recommend wearing it on your right
1:14
arm. It will afford a measure of
1:16
protection against the spirit's curse.
1:29
>> My ancestors watch over me still.
1:37
thoughtful gift indeed.
1:40
>> But I warn [music] you, Theodora.
1:42
The warding chain will absorb the arm's
1:44
malice only up to a point. If you see it
1:48
it is straining against its limits.
1:51
That may mean the end of you.
1:54
>> Pardon the interruption, Your Highness.
1:56
We received an urgent report from
1:59
>> No need for apologies.
2:01
Our conversation was over.
2:03
>> From what we heard, Prince Diane is
2:05
pressing Chancellor Kumos to begin his
2:09
>> What's the point in pressuring Kumos?
2:12
Not like he can hand Diane the crown.
2:14
Besides, Kumos is too prim for that.
2:17
The harder you push him, the firmer he
2:21
>> We also learned that Prince Diane is
2:22
sending commanders to Megara on pretext
2:25
of an emergency. No doubt he plans to
2:28
force Kumos' hand through a vote of the
2:30
Council of Chieftains. Time is of the
2:32
essence, your highness. We must show the
2:34
people that you are as fit to rule as
2:37
>> Wise counsel, indeed. We will return to
2:40
Megara without delay and put an end to
2:42
Diane's scheme. Tobias, Bonaventure,
2:46
let us fly. I'll hear not one word of
2:49
complaint about our pace.
