I tried to take your kingdom.

It was just to be

Then why has everything
changed?

41
00:04:03,777 --> 00:04:05,546
Because she lied to me.

42
00:04:07,881 --> 00:04:10,484
She couldn't wait for me
to become King of Norway.

43
00:04:10,518 --> 00:04:13,854
She married
a Danish Earl instead.

44

45
00:04:16,890 --> 00:04:17,991
