0:00 Oh, Riley. Um, it's not what you think. >> You've got it wrong. >> We're underground insect clan, lowest of the low. Um, we kneel to every noble we meet. Do it long enough, it becomes habit. >> But what they just called him was >> kin. They said kin. They're all Aiden's um clan folk. You misheard. >> That's right. They heard I took a mate and came to congratulate us. >> Oh, uh, that makes sense. >> Go handle your business. I'll stay and look after them. >> All right. I'll be back tonight.
0:50 >> Talk. What happened? Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, she's fallen gravely ill. The elders can't help her. You must return to him to palace at once. Mother, >> my king, >> stay. Guard Riley with your life. >> Understood. Oh, Riley back all alone. Where's that insect mate of yours?
1:37 >> He had something come up. Couldn't make it. >> Something came up. He's underground insect clan. What business could he have? Digging holes. >> Few days apart and you went from daddy's princess to a refugee. Your insect mate got you gnawing on bark. Should have come with me back then. Wouldn't be this pathetic now. >> Tell you what, strip down and beg for it. Maybe I'll take you back to Lion Pran as a maid. Beats being a stray with a worm. >> Grayson Riley's always loved mingling with Lowborn Beastfilt. Bring her to Lion Clan. She wouldn't know what to do with all that luxury. >> Still better than being used. Zoe, it's only been a few days. Why do you look so pale and drained?
2:24 >> In my past life, I was mated to Grayson. Became his blood bank. Drained dry to heal him. This time around, he's done the same to Zoe. Grayson's lost his mind lately. Every time after sex, he bites my neck and drinks my blood. >> Stop joking, Riley. I'm perfectly fine. Chief Ellis, what an honor to have you here. Please come in. >> Zoe, what took you so long? I had the kitchen make your favorite pepperoni pizza. It'll be ready right after the ceremony. Father, mother,
3:10 >> Riley's here, too. You know, >> Riley, where's that insect mate of yours? >> He had something come up. something. Our ancestral spirit festival happens once a century. Even Chief Ellis came in person. WHAT GIVES YOUR INSECT MATE THE RIGHT TO SKIP IT? >> FATHER, don't be upset. Aiden's probably on his knees scrubbing floors with some noble right now. Underground insect clan, born to serve. >> The Ancestral Spirit Festival begins now. Step forward and light the soul lanterns. The more you ignite, the stronger your spirit energy, the ancestors recognition of your bloodline.
4:07 >> 81. That's a new record. >> That's all the Lion Clan chief. He lit 72 on his own. That power is terrifying. >> Mason, you're amazing. >> Chief Ellis is truly heaven's chosen. Zoe is so blessed to have you. >> Riley, your turn. She came alone. Where's that insect made of his? >> Too ashamed to show up. An underground insect couldn't light a single lantern. He'd just embarrass himself.
4:56 What? 40 soul lanterns? That's nearly as many as the chief. Parker's eldest is that powerful. Zoe only lit nine. So what if she's strong? Her taste in men is pathetic. married an underground insect clan man. Her life's over. Wait, Riley, your mate didn't show. That's disrespectful to the Ancestral Spirit Festival. Shouldn't you atone for that? >> SHE'S RIGHT. >> HE didn't dare show. >> Then you give his share of spirit energy. We atone. >> BEG THE ANCESTORS FOR FORGIVENESS. >> ZOE'S [screaming] RIGHT. DO as Zoe says. >> Father, you know I gave everything I had. More spirit energy will cost me years of my life. You really want that?
5:42 >> YOU MADE A MISTAKE. TAKE THE PUNISHMENT. >> Or do you want the ancestors to curse us all? >> Exactly. You brought this on yourself. Don't drag us down with you. >> What curse? The ancestors don't care about something this petty. You're all just kitting up to Zoe because she married the Lion Clan chief. WHAT ARE YOU BABBLING ABOUT? UNGRATEFUL REST. PUT YOUR HAND UP there now. >> I have to warn the king now. >> King, they're humiliating your mates at the festival, forcing her to sacrifice her spirit energy. >> What?
6:36 What is that? >> I am the dragon clan elder by decree of the beast king. Dragon breath blessing upon the eldest daughter of Hal Parker.
7:25 Is it done? All done as you commanded, my king. >> No, I still don't feel right leaving Riley. >> Take care of mother. I'll be right back. >> Don't you dare walk out. >> Mother, you faked it. >> Would you have come back otherwise? You are the beast king. The council has matters piling up, all waiting on you. >> My king, word just came in. The northern mines are in chaos. They need your ruling. >> Riley's still waiting for me. But I can't ignore clan business. Fine. I'll handle this fast, then get back to her. >> The Beast King blessed her himself. Who is Riley, really? Riley knows the BEAST KING. SHE'S THE ONE WHO'LL BRING FORTUNE
8:10 TO OUR CLAN. >> No way. THE DRAGON CLAN ELDER MADE a mistake. The beast king meant to bless me and Grayson. Don't forget Grayson is the Lion Clan chief. Second of the five great families. The Beast King blessing him makes perfect sense. But Riley, she married into the underground insect clan. She's not even in the same world as the beast king. >> That actually makes sense. >> In fact, the elder got confused. The blessing was meant for great things, right? >> My brother was just promoted to commander of Beast Lord Palisadard. He sent word this morning the beast king would bless me and my mate. >> Fine. The elder made a mistake. But
8:56 Riley, you knew the blessing wasn't for you and just stood there. How shameless can you be? I never claimed it was for me. Everyone just assumed. Good thing we cleared it up. If you'd angered the beast king, the whole deer clan would have pay for it. This is the beast king's ring. >> What? >> Riley Parker, where did you get this ring?
9:41 >> Give it back. Babe, you must have seemed wrong. her worthy of the beast king's ring. It's got to be fake or stolen, >> right? The beast king's ring can't possibly be here. It's got to be fake. >> I didn't steal it. Give it back. >> What? Can't own up to it. You want this ring back, huh? Fine. But you cut all ties with the Parkers and accept the Deer Clan's divine punishment. Thunderbade. In my last life, I was banished for running from a bonding. Tossed into the arena like livestock, beaten by strangers. This time, I'll make you suffer a hundred times worth. No way. >> You think I'm asking? Either you cut ties yourself.
10:30 >> That ring, Aiden gave it to me. His mother left it for his future mate. >> I won't let it be destroyed. Besides, there was never a place for me here, so why stay and keep taking them? >> Fine, I accept. What did you say? I said I accept. >> You idiot. ALL THIS OVER A DAMN RING. >> FATHER, isn't this what you wanted? You traded me for alliances before. Now that I'm worthless, you can't WAIT TO THROW ME. >> SHUT UP.
11:22 We got to tell the king now [clears throat] >> by the ancient spirit. spirits. I, Riley Parker, sever all ties with the Parker family from this day. No blood, no bond, no claim. [clears throat] >> My king, the queen mother sent me to serve you. >> Don't bother. I already have a mate. >> What? But I'm the one who
12:12 >> Riley, >> my king. It's bad. Miss Parker, no. Your mate, they forced her to cut ties with her family. She's facing Thunderbed. >> What the hell? >> Your Majesty, what's wrong? Your Majesty, you can't leave her. Riley Parker. [snorts] >> The third fault. She'll die.
12:59 >> Riley, please just Good jet, black dragon. That's That's the beast king. >> It's the beast king. All hail the beast king. It's me. I'm sorry I'm late.
13:47 Him. How is that possible? >> That that underground insect. >> He tricked us with an illusion. >> Oh my god. Riley, your mate faked a drag an entrance just to back you up. He thought that'd make us respect him. A lowly insect dares pose as the beast king. >> Lowborn blood can't even fake it properly. >> Worthless skunk, GET DOWN HERE, IMPERSONATING THE BEAST KING. ARE YOU TRYING TO GET OUR WHOLE FAMILY KILLED? >> NO, NO, NO. Ryan is already Magnus. Magnus, have them seize this insect. Impersoning the beast king is a capital offense. How dare you? >> The ring. So he took my ring.
15:03 Touch what's mine and you die. >> Mercy. Please, Mac, we were wrong. We'll never do it again. It hurt.
15:49 Gideon [laughter] thank the gods you're here. That underground insect freak, he's impersonating the beast king, AND HE ATTACKED ME. YOU HAVE to make him pay. You've got nerve. A lowly insect THINKS HE CAN CHALLENGE THE LION CLAN. Beast King, my king. Gideon, you must be mistaken. He's just a lowly insect. How could he possibly be the beast king? >> Right. I only glimpsed the beast king
16:35 once when I first became commander. >> Maybe I was wrong. He can't be here. He'd never look like some underground insect. >> YOU UNDERGROUND INSECT SCUM. YOU DARE CAST DELUSION ON THIS COMMANDER. GUARDS, SEIZE HIM. >> Queen mother, the king has left the palace. >> What? Where did he go? >> I don't know, but it seems the king already has a note outside the palace. A mate. >> Send word. I'll go find him myself. >> Last warning. Surrender now.
17:22 Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy. >> TRY IT. TAKE HIM DOWN. [screaming] INSECT. Takes both of us to kill you. Count yourself honored. You talk too much.
18:22 All because of you. NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT YOU. DIE, [screaming] RILEY. NO, it wasn't me. I I didn't mean to. Queen Mother, what's she doing here? >> WHO DARED MY SON?
19:12 >> Queen Mother, I I I didn't know he was the beast king. Please spare me. That underground insect clan is actually the beast king. You fools. Get on your knees and beg. You want to die. [clears throat] All of you deserve to die. >> Your Majesty, I was blind. But Riley, she's my own daughter. Spare me for her sake. My king, if you kill us, Riley will hate you forever. Please,
19:59 >> I won't kill you, but you'll still pay. From today, the Parkers are exiled to the Northern Wasteland. Never set foot in Elderland again. >> The Northern Way? That's a death sentence. Nothing grows there. Even the lowest beach can't survive it. [laughter] >> My king, you might as well kill us. >> Then die. >> No. No. Thank you, your majesty. The beast king. He's actually the beast king. I was reborn. >> Has to be for you. >> I changed everything. So what? I I'm Riley's sister. You can't >> relax. I won't kill you. But I'll make you wish I had. You love power so much. Let's see how you like being a me. YOU CAN'T DO THIS. I AM A PARKER. I'M THE LION CLAN.
20:46 CHIEFS ME. My king, the Lion Clan is one of the five great families. Punish them here and you'll spark unrest among the clans. If you trust me, leave them to me. I promise they won't get off easy. [cough] [laughter] >> Riley. Riley. [cough and clears throat] >> Fine. I'm taking her back.
22:05 So beautiful. >> You're awake. What? What are you doing? >> Healing you. >> How How did we end up here? Like Like this? >> The queen mother. She happened by and saved everyone. Had us heal here. >> The queen mother. >> Mother, I'm making Riley my beast queen. >> What? Are you insane? Choosing a beast queen is no game. Name one thing that makes her worthy. I WILL NEVER ALLOW IT. >> My mind's made up. >> Fine. If you insist on making her queen,
22:52 I won't stop you. But she must pass my tests first. Until then, you will not reveal your true identity to her. >> Done. You have my word, Riley. When you learn the truth, I hope you won't blame me. >> [clears throat] >> What about my parents? What happened to them? >> They were exiled to the northern wasteland, banished from the Uldron continent forever. As for your sister, Zoe, she was sent to the Beast Penitentiary. >> The Beast Penitentiary? >> It's the most feared place in the Dragon Hulse. The worst criminals are sent there. >> Once you're in, you'll wish you were dead. The Dragon Mother passed judgment. Gideon lost his command. Grayson kept
23:37 his title. But the Lion Clan would pay tribute for the next hundred years. What about you? The dragon mother didn't punish you. >> After the dragon mother saved us, she figured I was sharp enough. Made me her royal guard. As for you, you're now a palace maid. >> A palace maid? >> Yeah. Once you're fully recovered, we'll report back to the palace for duty. >> What's wrong? >> I don't know. The wounds healed, but why does it still hurt? >> Thunder punishment isn't like other wounds. Its power lingers inside. There's only one way. >> Those days at the dragon pool really worked. I'm fully recovered now. >> It's good to hear, though. I wouldn't
24:23 mind doing it a few more times, >> Aiden. >> Here. This is where you'll be working. Royal Household Office. >> All palace maids answer to the royal household office. Your duties will be assigned by the head steward. >> My >> This is head steward. She runs the royal household office. >> Welcome, Miss Parker. I'll make sure you're well looked after. >> She's being awfully polite. I feel more like royalty than a maid. >> Miss Parker, follow me. Let me show you how things work.
25:09 >> Get back to the dragon mother. See you later. >> Okay. Thank goodness my spiritual power is coming back or I'd be climbing shelves till next year. Well, well, the new girl's pretty quick, huh? Hello. I'm Riley, the new palace maid. >> We know who you are, [ __ ] Organizing the archive was our job. You've only been here a day. Why would Head Stewart Quinn hand it to you? I'm
25:54 just following orders. If you have a problem, take it up with Head Stewart Quinn. Following orders, huh, cute excuse. >> Stop. >> Oh, upset. Listen up. First rule at the office, obey. When head steward Quinn's not around, we call the shop. Who said you could pick those up?
26:40 [snorts] You [ __ ] You dare cross me? What are you waiting for? Get her. This is the beast king's ring. Oh my god, it really is the beast king's ring. I caught a glimpse of it once at the dragon mother's birthday celebration. How did you get the beast king's ring? Give it back. Give it back? You must have stolen it. How would a new palace mate have the beast king's ring? Go get head steward. She'll deal with this
27:26 thief. >> HOW DARE YOU? >> Dragon mother. You've never visited the office. Shall I announce you first so no one gives offense? >> No need. The disguise is the point. I want to see the real Riley Parker. >> But that's not proper protocol. I make the protocol here. Besides, if I walk in as myself, will I still see the truth? >> Yes, dragon mother. >> This is head steward cross. She'll be helping oversee the royal household office. Show her the proper respect. Understood? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Now then, what was going on here?
28:11 >> Had Steuart crossed Steuart Quinn? She stole the beast king's ring. >> Yes. We saw it with our own eyes. I I didn't steal anything. Show me the ring. >> This This really is the beast king's ring. >> What did I tell you? The new girl's a thief. Cut off her hands and make an example of her. Exactly. Head stos. You must punish her severely. >> This ring. Where did you get it? My mate gave it to me. He said it belonged to his mother and was meant for his future wife. >> Head Stewart Cross. She's lying. >> I'm not lying. I had no idea this ring belonged to the
28:57 beast king. I've never even seen him. How could I possibly steal from him? Please investigate this properly. >> I'll get to the bottom of this. Until then, the ring will remain in my custody. This whole incident began with you. As punishment, you'll be assigned to clean lava beast ding. Any objections? No objections. And the rest of you, don't think you can do whatever you please when I'm not here. Destroying palace records like this is disgraceful. Clean everything up before you leave. >> Yes, ma'am.
29:45 Oh my god, lava beast dung. Nobody wants to touch that stuff, right? Lava beasters live in the molten caves under the palace. Their waste is extremely foul and stays scorching hot. It can't be cleaned normally. You have to strip it off layer by layer with spiritual power. Serves her right. Thought she was something special, didn't she? Now she's shuttling dung. Just wait till you're done. The whole palace will be avoiding you like the plague. >> Finally all done.
30:33 >> Aiden, what are you doing here? >> Damn it. How dare they make you do something like this? I >> I'm fine. It's just cleaning up beast crap. But >> what is it? >> What's the story behind that ring you gave me? Everyone here says it belongs to the beast king. >> My father once served as guard commander at the beast king's palace. The king gave him the ring as a reward after he died. My mother passed it to me. >> So that's it. I knew it couldn't be stolen. But Heads to Cross took it from me. Don't worry. I'll find a way to get it back. >> Don't worry about that right now. Just take care of yourself first. >> I'm fine.
31:22 >> Someone's coming. Go out the back now. You're one of the dragon mother's royal guards. If anyone sees you here, you'll be in trouble. >> But you're here alone. >> I'm fine. Go now. >> All right. I'll come see you again when I get the chance. Okay. Head Stewart Cross, >> who were you just talking to? >> No one. You must have heard wrong. >> You work fast. I'll give you that. >> Thank you, Head Stewart Cross. >> But do you think shoveling dung is all there is? You'll fetch fresh gravel from the mines yourself and replace all the bedding in this shed.
32:08 What? Can't handle it? >> I can do it. Finally, it's done. Got to get back, shower, and change. >> What are you doing? >> Head steward crosses orders. The dragon mother bathes in fresh morning dew every day. You're spending them outside collecting a full 100 lers. Not a drop left. 100 lers. No one could collect that much. Why does Head Stewart Croft always seem to have it out for me? Then get moving. You don't want the dragon
32:53 mother holding you responsible. >> Are you deaf? Get moving. >> I'm just getting a few things. No, you're not. You [laughter] >> Ouch. That looked painful. >> How dare you? Insulent fools. Kneel now. >> The Grand Chamberlain. What's he doing here? Unless >> all hail the beast king. >> This is the grand chamber. >> And you you're the beast king.
33:42 >> I'm sorry, Riley. Marco really does serve at the beast king's palace. And I really am. >> What's going on here? >> You're a royal guard. What are you doing in the maid's quarters? It's all a misunderstanding, said Stewart Cross. Aiden was summoned because he bears an uncanny resemblance to the Beast King. We happen to be passing through. Saw someone being mistreated and stepped in. >> I see. If you're just passing through, move along. The Beast King is waiting. >> Yes. Head Stuart Cross. No, I'm still worried about her.
34:30 >> Riley Parker, what are you standing around for? Get >> Mother, please don't give Riley a hard time. >> Go rest now. If you slack off tomorrow, you'll regret it. >> Yes, ma'am. And you three always stirring up trouble. Tonight you're collecting morning dew. Not enough? No sleep. Yes. Head Stewart Cross. >> Damn it. She got off the hook again. Tell me about it. It's infuriating. Don't you think something's strange here? What? She just got here. got caught up in that beast king's ring meth and she's always making eyes at that guard.
35:17 So, how is a lowly maid like her still here? Someone's protecting her. She stole the beast king's ring and got stuck with dung. That's not punishment. Exactly. Anyone else would have been sent straight to the beast penitentiary. But what if the beast king finds out she stole his ring? You mean Riley? You're done for? Just wait, Riley. The moment the beef king comes out, I'll tell him everything. You're finished.
36:05 >> [laughter] >> Miss Mos. So, you're awake, >> Miss Moss. Why? Why am I here? What have I done wrong? >> It's been quite some time since I've seen the Beast King. But I've heard he's been making frequent visits at the office lately. >> You work there. So, tell me, >> who's caught his attention? >> No. Not me. >> Then who? >> It's It's Riley. >> Don't blame me, Riley. >> Blame yourself for being so damn cocky. >> You've got some nerve. Tell me the truth. Are you a spy from another clan sent here to poison Dragon Clan? >> No,
36:50 I'm loyal to the Dragon Clan. I swear. Please. Poison. Those rashes, they don't look like poisoning. Still lying. You handled her food this morning. She broke out right after eating. Who poisoned her if not you? >> I I really didn't. I I don't know why this happened. >> Fine. Drag her out and execute her. >> No, please. I DIDN'T POISON HER. WAIT. You're a lowranking maid. Who gave you the nerve to bark orders here?
37:36 >> Head Stewart Cross. I used to be a healer. I studied herbs and toxicology in the deerclone. These rashes, they don't look like poisoning to me. Head Stewart Cross. May I ask, did you eat anything unusual this morning? Perhaps some kind of fruit. No, everything was the same as usual. >> This morning after you woke, you drank a bowl of sweet broth she brought you. There was sweet blood fruit in it. >> Right. Sweet blood fruit. I eat that all the time. >> Both heads, please. I washed and cut the sweet blood myself. It was perfectly clean. >> If it really was sweet blood fruit, there's no problem. But are you sure that's what you used, not something else? >> I I took them from the fruit basket in the kitchen. It should have been sweet blood fruit. Wrong. What you grabbed was
38:24 blood berry. >> Blood berry? What's that supposed to be? >> Blood berries and sweet blood fruit look almost identical. One is harmless. The other causes rashes and swelling. Exactly what she's suffering from. >> Blood berries. That's it. The kitchen got some in a few days ago. I grabbed them by mistake. >> You know quite a lot. So these rashes from Bloodberry. Can they be cured? Yes, I know how. But I do have one request. >> What? >> She made a mistake, but not on purpose. If possible, please go easy on her. >> Fine. Cure me and I'll grant it. >> Really? >> Thank goodness. >> Thank you, Head Stewart Cross.
39:10 >> The rashes are almost gone. >> Didn't expect you to have skills like that. You're too kind. One more treatment in 3 days and you'll fully recover. Good. You're dismissed. Come back in 3 days for the second treatment. >> Yes. Head Stuart Cross. Dragon Mother, after all that, Riley still chose kindness. A good heart. Seems the beast king's judgment was right. >> We'll see. >> Riley. Riley, wait up. Riley, thank you. If it weren't for you today,
39:56 I would have been Don't mention it. I just couldn't watch an innocent person get punished. >> Before I followed them, mocked you, bullied you, and you still saved me after all that. You've got a sharp tongue, but you're not a bad person. >> Riley, you're too kind. If you ever need anything, just say the word. I've got your back. [laughter] >> All right, I'll remember that. Miss Vos, that's her. So, you're the one who's been trying to
40:41 seduce the beast king. With a face like that, no wonder your trouble. It was bad enough when the beast king took a mate outside the clan. But a lowborn maid like you, thinking you can throw yourself at him. Riley didn't seduce anyone. There has to be some mistake. She just saved. Do you have any idea who you're talking to? Watch your mouth. That's Miss Voss, the Grand Elders's only daughter, the dragon mother's chosen beast queen. Miss Voss, I've never even met the Beast King. How could I possibly seduce him? Never met him. Then why does he keep showing up at the office? Then why were you wearing his ring? Enough.
41:27 I don't want to hear your excuses. Strip her. Let's see what a lowborn dear girl has besides pretty face. Miss boss, this is against protocol. >> Protocol? I am the protocol. Stop. >> An old maid thinks she can order me around. >> Miss Both, watch your tongue. This is office staff. Answer to the office. It's not your place to interfere. Who do you think you are lecturing me? I'm the beast queens designate. What's wrong with disciplining a few lowborn beasts? Guards, pin this nosy old man down, too.
42:13 >> No, I have to find help. >> I misjudged you. I never imagined an elder's daughter could be this disgraceful. >> You're just an OLD MAID. HOW DARE YOU JUDGE ME? Dragon mother. This boss, you must be mistaken. This is our new head. Head Stewart Cross, right? The dragon mother is woke. She'd never show up here looking like that. Impossible. Some washed up old maid dares impersonate the dragon mother.
42:59 Guards, bring me my bone blip. I'll teach her a lesson. Voss, you'll regret this. [laughter] Regret for disciplining a few maids. Lowborns were born to be humiliated. >> You love meddling so much. Then die. >> 7 days until the maid festival. Every clan leader will be here. Don't let anything go wrong. Yes, my king. >> The beast king. Thank the gods. Riley, you're safe. [laughter] My king, please save Riley. Miss Vost is going to kill her. >> What? >> At the maid's quarters, they've got Riley pinned down. They're trying to strip her. Head Stu cross with these
43:45 two. I've been nothing but cruel to you. Why would you do it? >> You're only in this because of me. I can't let you take my beating. >> Aw, how touching. Then I'll beat you both. >> Stop. >> My king. What brings you here? Saraphina V. You have any idea who you just hit? >> Bed of maids who forgot their plagues. I was teaching them a lesson. Call you.
44:37 >> All hail the dragon mother. >> That scarred old maid is the dragon mother. All hail the dragon mother. The dragon mother entered the office in disguise to test your character. Instead, she found arrogance, cruelty, and abuse of power. >> My king, please. I didn't know it WAS THE DRAGON MOTHER. PLEASE show mercy. >> Called you my king, >> Riley. I I >> I sent him on an errand in the king's place. He's no king.
45:22 Heaphina, do you know what you've done? >> It was her that eagle made lies to me. >> What? No, YOU DON'T. >> SHUT UP, YOU VILE WRETCH. IF YOU HADN'T TOLD me Riley SEDUCED THE BEAST KING, I NEVER WOULD HAVE LOST MY HEAD. >> IT WASN'T ME. I'm innocent. It was innocent. YOU BULLIED RILEY, FRAMED HER FOR THE RING, and spread those rumors. YOU BACKSTABBING. YOU brought this on yourself. I'm done being your accomplice. Dragon mother, you've heard everything that may turn me against Riley. I was just confused for a moment. Please, for my father's sake. Bear me this one. Enough.
46:09 For slander, abuse, and false accusations. You are exiled to Black Ridge Mine. You will never return to this palace. >> Riny Parker, DON'T YOU DARE GLOAT. YOUR LITTLE AFFAIR WITH THAT GUARD. YOU THINK you can hide it forever? >> You're Riley Parker, the Parker family's daughter. GOD, take her to the Beef Penitentiary. Let her reflect there. Riley Parker, this isn't over. I'm not done with you.
46:55 You come inside. What? Riley passed your test. Finally, I can tell her the truth. Mother, I'll announce it at the mate selection festival. She's the future beast queen. >> But if you want her to hold that throne, your favor alone won't keep her there. >> Then what do you suggest, mother? >> Let her host the mate selection festival. If she proves herself, the clans will accept her. Then no one will question your choice. >> Understood. >> So the dragon mother, she didn't give you a hard time, did you? No, she just
47:41 wanted to talk about the mate selection festival. >> Good. >> Also, she wants you to organize the mate selection festival for protecting her. >> Me? But I've never >> Don't worry. I'll help you. >> Okay. >> Useless wretch. >> Who said you could stop? Riley, this is all your fault. You did this to me. Just you wait. I'll make you pay for this. >> YOU LOWBORN SCUM. HANDS OFF ME NOW.
48:28 >> Just wait. >> This woman. >> My father is the Dragon CLAN GRAND ELDER. HE'LL HAVE ME OUT IN NO TIME. >> She's the Dragon Clan Grand Elder's daughter. Scrub the blood off the arena floor. No food till it's done. >> I remember now. Last love. Grayson saved the dragon mother at the mate selection festival. That's how he rose to power. If I can use her to get out, find Grayson. Maybe I still have a shot. >> Gumbags. How dare they make me do a maid's work. >> Miss, I need your help. Then what are you? You're not even fit to speak to me, >> Miss V. My sister Riley Parker framed me. That's why I'm locked up here. Get
49:14 me out and I'll serve you. Anything you command, I'm yours. Riley Parker. Well done. Clear and thorough. I'm impressed how quickly you've grasped Dragon Clan affairs. >> Thank you, Dragon Mother. You're too kind. >> This girl, kindhearted and capable, far better than those singing females at court. >> Riley, >> Dragon Mother, >> what happened? >> There's an emergency at Penipenti. >> What? >> The lava beast went berserk. It broke out of its pen. It's attacking everyone in the labor. Several are already injured. >> Send the order. Mobilize the guards.
50:00 Bring healers. Head to the beef penitentiary now. >> Yes, dragon mother. >> You're coming with me. >> Yes, dragon mother. >> Move. Save them. >> Drag the wounded out first. The lava beasts were locked up tight. How did they break loose? >> I I I don't know, Dragon Mother. >> Before this, did anyone go near the pen? Besides the feeders, >> Dragon Mother, it all happened so fast. I haven't had time to investigate.
50:46 >> The lava beasts are spewing fire everywhere. Even if there was evidence, it's all ash by now. What's the casualty count? speak. >> Trampled or burnt to death. So far, nearly half. We're still counting. >> What about Vos? She isn't. >> Good. You're alive now. I can report back to your father. >> Dragon mother. I know I was wrong. this place. It's horrible. I can't survive another day here. Please, Dragon Mother, have mercy. End my punishment.
51:34 >> If Voss dies here, there's no explaining that to Grand Elder Zepha. I can let you out. >> Thank you, Dragon Mother. Thank you. >> But in one week, the Ratclan is coming for the mate selection festival. They want a marriage alliance with our clan. You'll be the bride they take. >> What? The rat clan. You want me to marry those those sewer rats? >> No, then stay. The dungeon still has room for you. >> Wait, I I I'll do it. Dragon mother, I have one more request. >> Speak. >> Please release Zoe, too. If not for her, that lava beast would have killed me. >> I hear she's your sister. What do you think? Dragon mother, we're sisters by blood, but we were never close. It's not
52:21 my place to interfere. The decision is yours. >> Vos is so desperate to get her out. Something's off. Better to keep her where I can watch. If they make a move, I'll catch them both. >> Fine. Voss vouched for you and you saved her life. You're free as of today. >> Thank you, Dragon Mother. Dragon Mother, I'd like to stay and have a word with my sister. Did you come here just to gloat, Riley? Mom and dad exiled me rotting in this hell hole. It's all because OF YOU. YOU DESTROYED OUR FAMILY. >> You really don't learn, do you?
53:06 >> Oh, like you're doing so much better. I thought you'd be living like royalty by now. Looks like the beast king doesn't care about you either. >> What's that supposed to mean? Miss Parker, the dragon mother has further insertions for you. Please come with me now. >> All right, I'm on my way. >> Riley, one day I'll make you kneel before me and beg. A 100 strikes. Just a hundred. I couldn't get out of bed for a week. [sighs] Blood would at least speed up my healing. Gideon, what are you doing here? >> Lost my guard commander title, so I've
53:51 got plenty of time to visit. >> Gideon, I >> SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT. You've completely disgraced me. I'm the victim here. It's that snake Zoe's fault. If she hadn't stirred things up, I >> You're blaming me for this? >> How'd you get back? >> I played it smart. Got the grand elder's daughter to get me out. Are you feeling better? [screaming] >> You blood does nothing. CAN'T EVEN HEAL A SINGLE WOUND. >> GRAYSON, I just got out of the beast penitentiary. My body hasn't recovered
54:36 yet. Give me a few days. >> A few days? You think you're still useful? Get lost. Enough, Grayson. You've got some nerves showing your face here. >> Now's not the time to point fingers. We're all in this together. >> Oh, >> don't you want revenge? Make the woman who ruined us pay. >> You mean Riley? She's the beast king's favorite now, isn't she? >> Please. She's just a maid serving the dragon mother. [laughter] Can't even get an audience with the beast king. He doesn't care about her. The mate selection festival is coming. The lion clan's on the guest list. This is our only shot at payback.
55:26 The mate selection festival is one of our most important tradition. Everyone needs to be on point. Don't worry, Riley. We've rehearsed this several times. Nothing's going to go wrong. >> Good. Thank you all. Go ahead and get started. Riley, >> what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be on duty with the dragon mother? >> The dragon mother gave me half the day off for the banquet. Figured you've been busy all morning and haven't eaten. Brought you some spirit fruit. >> That's sweet of you. >> M. So good. Sweet and crisp. At least it's quiet here. No one comes around. Normally, we can't be seen together like this. Riley, after the mate selection
56:13 festival banquet, there's something I need to tell you. >> What is it? Can't you tell me now? >> Not yet. >> Okay, I'll be here waiting. >> Grayson, look over there. >> Riley's cheating on the Beast King with a guard. >> Aiden, you should go before someone sees us. >> Okay. Be careful. I'll come find you after the banquet. >> Hello,
56:58 Riley. Can't survive without a man, can you? The Beast King dumps you and now you're throwing yourself at a guard. You just got released. Haven't learned your lesson. This is the dragon house, not your playground. We're invited gu and you a servant pouring tea. You think you can lecture us? Someone like you. If your master's pleased, you get scraps. If not, they kill you and no one even notices. Don't worry, no one will ever know. >> So remote out here, not a soul in sight. If something happened to you right now, who's coming to save you? >> You'd attack someone in the Dragon Clan Royal Palace. You want to hang? Don't
57:44 worry. No one will ever know. >> Stop. Dragon Mother Riley, thank you for all your work on the mate selection festival banquet. >> What? The mate selection festival banquet. She's just a maid. And the dragon mother trusted her with something this important. >> You flatter me, dragon mother. It's simply my duty. >> I trust you to get it done. What were you two doing just now? >> Dragon mother, we were just passing by. We saw Riley here and came to say hello, but then we caught her meeting a guard
58:31 in secret. >> Exactly. Palace rules are clear. Maids franchising with guards is a severe offense. Riley knew the rules and broke them anyway. She can't be let off. >> Oh, then what punishment do you suggest? >> Dragon mother. I say execute them both. Her and the guard. Make an example of them. >> Exactly. Only harsh punishment will keep the rest in line. >> Dragon mother. He and I were together long before I entered the palace. It's not as shameful as they claim. We only exchanged a few words. If someone must be punished, let it be me alone. Bedding a guard. Yes, that's a crime. But Riley's been working day and night on the mate selection festival banquet. Her contribution more than makes up for
59:17 it. This ends here. >> Dragon mother. This what? >> You question my decision. I wouldn't dare. >> Come with me. >> Yes, dragon mother. >> She got off again. That wreck. How is she always so damn lucky? >> The dragon mother shields that wretch and puts her in charge of the mate selection festival banquet. >> But if she's the one running the banquet, that makes things much easier for us. My king, wrong way. The mate selection festival banquet is that way. King,
1:00:02 >> I've made up my mind. Riley needs to know the truth. She's my rightful mate. I won't let anyone wrong her again. Don't follow me. >> Riley, so many guests are raving about the banquet. They're saying it's the best one in a decade. Good. As long as nothing goes wrong, I can breathe easy. Speaking of which, you and that god. What happened? The dragon mother, someone tried to kill her at the banquet. Grayson Ellis, the Lion Clan leader, blocked the attack just in time. >> What? >> I need to get a healer now. >> What are you doing? Let go of me. The
1:00:48 Dragon Mother's been attacked by order of the Dragon Clan Grand Elder Riley Parker. You're under arrest. >> Grayson, didn't you take that hit for the dragon mother? How are you standing here without a scratch? >> Oh, so you wish I'd died at the assassin's hand. >> That's not what I meant. I >> just What? Riley Parker. You served the dragon mother. Yet you conspired with assassins to kill her. Now you cursed the man who saved her life. You deserve death. >> This maid's crimes are unforgivable. I beg you, publish her severely. Uphold the palace law.
1:01:33 >> Riley Parker, you forced my Saraphina into a political marriage with the Ratclan. Today I settle his score. Do you know your crime, >> Grand Elder? I didn't conspire with any assassin. I never tried to harm the dragon mother. Give me time. I'll find the truth. >> Even if you didn't let the ASSASSIN IN. YOU WERE IN CHARGE of the banquet. An assassin slipped in on your watch. THAT'S YOUR FAILURE. >> EXACTLY. If you hadn't been busy fooling around with that guard, this never would have happened. The assassin got in because she and that guard were working together. >> Elder, I say arrest the guard, too.
1:02:22 Interrogate them both. >> Grand Elder, he has nothing to do with this. He knows nothing. Please, please don't drag him into this. Punish me. Only me. >> Go bring me that guard. >> Who dares? ALL HAIL THE BEAST KING. >> All hail the beast king. >> Weren't you trying to ARREST ME? WHY ARE YOU ALL JUST STANDING THERE? >> The beast king was the guard all along. >> Damn it. >> You're really the beast king. >> I'm sorry, Riley. I lied to you.
1:03:07 >> All hail the beast king. Riley, I >> My king, this maid conspired with an assassin to murder the dragon mother. I beg you, EXECUTE HER AT ONCE TO UPHOLD PALACE LAW. >> EXACTLY. The dragon mother was attacked. This is no small matter. This woman's crimes are unforgivable. She must be punished severely. My king, if you don't execute her, the court won't stand for it. >> Where's your proof? You keep saying conspired with assassins, tried to kill the dragon mother. Show me one shred of evidence. My king, the assassin hasn't been caught. But but she was in charge of the banquet. If the assassin got in, SHE BEARS THE BLAME.
1:03:52 >> EXACTLY. Even if it wasn't deliberate, she's still guilty of negligence. >> If I'm not mistaken, you're the one who sent those guards after us, right? My king, I was just so worried about the dragon mother that I lost my composure. I had no idea that God with you. >> I never meant to harm her. >> That's right, my king. If I hadn't taken that blade for the dragon mother, Riley's plot would have succeeded. My injuries don't matter, but for the dragon mother's safety, I beg you, punish Riley Parker severely. >> So, you're leveraging your little rescue to force my hand? I wouldn't dare. I I I was just stating the facts. What if I
1:04:38 have proof that Riley is innocent? >> Impossible. >> Zephr, if I have proof Riley's innocent, what then? If Riley is innocent, I'll accept whatever punishment your majesty sees fit. Good. >> Remember those words. Tell me everything you know. >> MERCY, MY KING. MERCY. I I was forced. It was the Lion Clan chief and his wife. They ordered me to let THE ASSASSIN. >> YOU YOU'RE LYING. I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU. >> I'M NOT LYING.
1:05:24 It was you. YOU GAVE ME A BAG OF spirit stones to let the assassin in. If I refused, you'd slaughter my whole family. >> These spirit stones still carry great insent. My king, check for yourself. It's over. >> It's all effort. You think I can't see through you. You blame Riley for Saraphina's political marriage to the rat clan. So, you tried to have her killed. >> My king, I I just lost my head for a moment. >> Lost your head? Save that for hell. You wanted Riley dead, so now you die. >> Grace and Ellis, Zoe Parker, plotting to
1:06:12 assassinate the dragon mother. Framing the in unforgivable. Take them away. Public execution BY NO. DON'T KILL ME. WHY? WAIT, >> RILEY. >> My king. >> Killing Zoe would be letting her off easy. >> Then Zoe Parker is exiled to the far north Icelled. Never to return to Aldderan. >> RILEY, HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME? I'M THE ONE WHO DESERVES ALL OF THIS. I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU. >> ZOE, you still don't get it. wealth, power stat >> none of that is what happiness is about. >> Take them away. >> No, please. >> My king, all the guilty have been dealt
1:06:59 with. >> Miss Parker's name is cleared, and you two have finally found each other. >> But we're worlds apart in status. >> Riley, we've been mates all along. The moment you threw that spirit fruit at the plaza and I caught it, I chose you. You were mine. I kept it from you to keep you safe. Now, it's time I give you your rightful place. Yeah. Today, before every leader, elder, and beast of this land, I declare
1:07:46 from this day on, Riley Parker is the beast queen of all Aldderon. >> All hell beast [groaning] queen. All hail the beast queen. I make those. Oh dear.
