Original subtitles

Just a dream.

Elko, hurry up. We're going to be late.

And Elko, no trouble tonight.

Of course.

So this is Lady Lear's boy.

No title, no estate.

Quite an upgrade for him.

His mother's a whore.

She slept with so many men, one of them was bound to have a title.

Careful, you filthy beggar.

Oh, forgive me, the new son of House Voss.

Cheers.

Careful sir, wouldn't want anything to come loose.

What?

Enjoy your evening.

Your Grace.

Next time, make sure no one's watching.

Want the power to make them pay?

Be mine, and I'll help you.

The man who rules House Voss.

This deal's not half bad.

You'll get what you want.

Have

you

forgotten, Your Grace?

I'm your brother now.

Come with me.

Sign it.

Keep me satisfied and I'll give you a place in this family no one can

question.

A protection agreement that requires me to share your bed?

This sounds less like protection and more like you're buying yourself a pet.

Without my protection, you won't last a week in this family.

If the price is your body, consider yourself fortunate.

Of course, everything has a price.

You don't have to sign it, but you and your mother will be out by morning.

I am curious what the man downstairs will do once he learns the truth.

My guess?

He'll have his men take turns with both of you, throw you both into the dungeon

and torture you until he gets bored, then he'll leave you there to rot.

So tell me, which matters more?

Your pride or staying alive?

Careful.

Try to tame me and I might take your place instead.

Then let's make good on our agreement.

Take off your clothes.

Wait. Not

bad.

I like that sound.

Someone's outside.

So what?

Be good and stay still.

Your grace, the obsidian seal is missing.

Get dressed. You're coming with me.

The seal represents the power of House Voss.

Who'd be crazy enough to steal it?

According to the register, Ello was the last person to enter the collection area

before the seal disappeared.

I knew it was him.

A penniless nobody worms his way into House Vos for money and power. Who else

would risk stealing the seal?

And he came down with his grace.

Maybe he used the confusion to climb into his grace's bed. Like mother, like

son. They're nothing but a pair of shameless whores. Throw them both out.

Elio.

Your Grace, are you really going to defend that thieving beggar?

If I'd stolen it, why would I be foolish enough to leave my own name behind?

Or perhaps that was the plan all along. Leave your own name behind, then pretend

it proves you're innocent.

Who gave you permission to touch him?

Your grace he's a suspect And you're not the one who gets to question him

Listen carefully from this moment on no one touches Elio

without my permission If they're so eager to become

beggars indulge them

Your access pass.

You still doubt me?

I can protect you and still suspect you.

So, from now on you tell me where you go and who you meet.

So your Grace is planning to imprison me? You can think of it that way.

Search his room. Don't miss a single thing.

Your Grace, we found something.

This is the ink used exclusively for the seal.

Your Grace, it seems Elio really did steal it.

Elko, what have you done?

Mother, you don't believe me either.

Tell me the truth.

Where is the seal?

Everyone out.

What now? Are you going to throw me out?

That cloth isn't yours.

You believe me?

I trust my own judgment.

But someone's targeting you now, so...

What are you doing?

You're moving to the East Wing.

The agreement is very clear.

Your safety is my responsibility.

Protection is just an excuse.

You simply want to keep me where you can control me, don't you? Yes.

From tonight on, everything you do requires my permission.

Follow me.

Your Grace, Lord Lucian is here.

Who let him in?

Lucian, House Voss's backup heir, and Kael's cousin and bitter rival.

Still not happy to see me?

You must be Elio.

I'm Lucian, Kael's cousin. You're all anyone in House Voss has been talking

about lately.

Elio. What are they saying? I know. A beggar with no title who had half of

House Voss on edge the moment he arrived?

I only came to meet the newest member of the family and bring a little welcome

gift. Someone reported seeing a man dressed in black near the collection

room shortly after the seal disappeared.

If you intend to keep investigating, I can help.

And I suppose I should thank you.

Are you finished?

Apparently I chose a bad time.

It's always a bad time when you're here.

Kale, wait.

You're not to see him alone again.

Brother, is this about keeping your suspect under control, or can you just

can't stand anyone getting too close to your little brother?

I'm disciplining a disobedient pet.

Easy Not so bold now are you it's just a deal don't get smug

And keep your end of it

So your grace does know how to care for a pet?

Don't flatter yourself.

Corpses are a hassle.

Don't worry, I didn't.

Kyle!

Stay here and don't move.

Your Grace, we lost them. Found a Vosgaard badge.

Scared I'll die?

One night and you're in love?

What if I am?

Your Grace, the black cloth was planted in Elio's room after the seal vanished.

The ink residue dates from after the theft. Perfect!

Make it public!

Not yet.

Why not?

Go public, and they'll know.

Then we lose them.

You want me as bait?

It's our best shot.

If he thinks you're still the weak link, he'll slip.

Catching him is your job. I won't risk my life helping you.

I'm not your bait.

Our deal makes you my responsibility.

So I stay the thief and wait to get shot?

Going public now doesn't mean you're safe.

Stay quiet.

If it turns bad, I will protect you both.

Just this once.

Your Grace, they say you buried evidence for your lover.

Kael, is this how you rule?

Hiding evidence for your kept man?

Elio, what are they talking about?

How much longer will you stay silent?

All night, and that's the best you've got?

Then strip Elio's privileges.

Separate him and Lady Leia.

If you're innocent, cooperate with their investigation.

So much for your promise!

Don't touch my mother! Kyle, you promised me! Kale!

Kyle, you promised me!

Kale!

How pitiful, Your Grace.

Don't you agree?

Stay quiet.

If this goes south, I'll protect you both.

Bastard! Want you both cleared?

Get Kael's file by tomorrow night.

Hand it over.

First tell me how you plan to clear my name.

You're in no position to bargain.

You think you can play me?

Kael can't control me. What makes you think you can?

Take him in for questioning.

No wonder getting in was so easy. You planned it.

The plan worked. You and your mother are safe now.

So I should thank you. Was the gun part of your plan, Your Grace?

You risked my life, Kyle. Deal's off.

Ending the contract isn't your decision.

Then force me, Duke.

I'll still stay away from you.

You'll regret this.

My biggest regret is trying to save the real documents for you just now.

I'm useless.

Master Elio, His Grace had breakfast sent to you. Send it back.

The butler says you've barely eaten lately.

Let me starve, or is this another lover act?

Take it to his room.

Your Grace, a maid says Master Elio's knife wound is inflamed, and Master

Lucian seems rather close to him lately.

Send a doctor.

Double the guards.

Keep Lucian away.

Yes, Your Grace.

It feels wrong to bring this up now, but you need to know.

Kael paid that servant three months ago.

It's all here.

Kael hurt him.

If they're together, why fake it?

Maybe it was a test.

If you hadn't switched the file, that gun might have been aimed at your heart.

Bang.

You want me to doubt him?

Just a warning.

We're not his first, and neither is this trick.

Oh, you didn't know.

They got nothing out of that servant. He's already out.

One of Kale's guards, I see. Go tell Kale I'm not his prisoner.

His grace only ordered us to put you to sleep, including listening in on me and

my friend.

Believe me now, I only...

How

long has this place been abandoned?

Five or six years. No one lives here, but that servant comes after paycheck.

He paid the man in black before the theft. But why?

Kael would take the fall, so he'd never order his men to do it.

Your mouth and nose!

Look at me.

Stay awake. We can't lose the ledger.

Self-destruct.

There's a hidden exit.

Kale knows where.

Stay with me.

I think it's here.

Few know the oil and can command Kael's guards.

Of course.

Just like the black cloth in your room.

You don't have to trust me. Trust your gut.

Someone wants you dead.

Kyle's likely involved.

Why come here of all places? Are you hurt?

How did you know I was here?

The covert guards protecting you reported it.

Protection? You track his every move. That's surveillance, cousin.

I'm talking to Elio.

Is he wrong?

I promised space, not no guards.

Tonight proved why.

Maybe I'd be safer if I'd never met you What do you mean

what did you find You control everything and decide for me

figure it out Come with me a doctor waits in the east wing. I'm not going

back You'd rather leave with him yeah, at least he was in that

smoke with me

Why didn't you show him the token?

He's right.

Why did I instinctively avoid facing Kael's answer?

Trace every personal guard's movements tonight. Don't leave anyone out.

These payments all went through Kael's men too.

Still think it's just a frame-up?

Who's there?

You shouldn't be here.

So you know who that man in black was? The one who framed me?

That's what I came to investigate.

Fine, give it to me and I'll help you investigate.

Those files hold vast secrets.

If they leak, people die.

People die?

Funny. I nearly died in that tunnel yesterday.

I'll give you answers, but not now. It's always later for answers now when I'm

risking my life.

Found this by the tunnel. Don't say you don't know it, Your Grace.

Stay away from him. At least he doesn't call danger what's best for me.

Pull half his detail, the rest keep him alive.

No more spying.

It's Kael.

Surely this will burn you alive this time. Damn it! Crap! No signal!

Elio, wake up!

You again.

Your timing is always suspiciously perfect.

I don't use your life as a prop.

You didn't write this?

No. You're still lying. Even the handwriting matches.

But I'd never ask you to come alone.

The only time is by my bed in the East Wing.

Someone's watching us and knows about the East Wing.

Treat your wound first.

What are you doing?

Emergency, Claus.

You don't leave the East Wing without me.

I nearly burnt alive, and you're locking me up?

Because you were nearly burnt alive!

I cut half your guard and walked into a trap.

So you were just waiting for an excuse to lock me up.

Well, can't you stand how close I am to Lucyn?

Let go!

Stop!

You can bind me, watch me, keep me in your bed.

But you can't make me choose you.

Kale locked you up again?

News travels fast.

You said you could get me out. How?

Sign this.

In an hour, I take over.

You're free.

What's the price?

Freedom shouldn't have a price.

I'm not Kale.

You knew he'd lock me up before the fire.

I know him.

You get hurt, he loses it.

Council approval already?

I underestimated you.

Just giving family an exit?

Problem?

No problem.

If you want to sign, I won't stop you.

But under family law, before you switch, you have the right to check his records.

You follow rules so carefully, why not disclose everything?

You're as distrustful as ever, Your Grace. No need to investigate it. One

locks doors, one brings keys. Same control. In the Voss family, nothing's

pricier than free. I'll answer for myself.

For once, you said something sensible. No one outside will stop you.

It failed.

I never expected him to sign.

I was testing Kael's hand. If he had proof, I'd be on trial. What about the

trust documents meant to frame Lady Leia? Release them as planned. If he

won't choose, let the Council, his mother, and Kael force him to.

From now on, you're free.

Let the guards stay.

Sudden attack of conscience?

No.

I realize controlling you only drives you further away.

Aren't you afraid I'll investigate you first?

You should start with me, so you don't break into my archives over fake

evidence again.

When did you arrange this?

I prepared for the day you no longer need me.

The seal, your signature.

Thirty million to your mother. Explain.

How is my signature on this?

This is... Stop!

Family law gives them one hearing.

No one takes them before it ends.

That order takes a day.

When did you file it?

Last night.

Then withdraw your guards first. They're his guards. Elio decides if they stay.

They stay, but they answer to me.

Don't leave yet.

The evidence is authentic and shows no signs of forgery.

You heard that?

Elio, still denying you stole the seal?

This transfer is settled in accordance with laws trust ENFL.

Lear.

Sorry to interrupt.

I found the witness who handled the trust.

The Duke gave me the papers.

He told me to use Elo's signature sample to transfer the funds into Lady Leia's

fund.

You don't need to prove Kael stole the seal.

Just prove he could force you.

It's your best defense.

Elio, say something.

We won't survive that dungeon.

He's a duke. He'll be fine.

This saves you both.

Your turn to choose.

You prepared everything so thoroughly.

Learn from his grace.

He came prepared too.

Elio, did Kyle use his power to force you?

Kyle, he... Before answering, I have

questions for the witness.

When did Kael give you the forged documents?

Three days ago, near the abandoned warehouse.

Did you see the warehouse fire?

The Duke's men set the fire.

Then he went in and saved you.

You saw them start the fire, but didn't see me.

No, the fire was already burning when I arrived.

So he went straight through the back door.

No. The back was locked and burning. He used the front.

Only Kael and his guards were there before I got out.

Even they didn't know.

So how did you?

I heard the guards say it. Which one?

Him! Yes, him!

Grand Elder, his story doesn't hold up. I don't trust it.

Take him away.

Toss his testimony, reopen the trust case, and bring me another liar and

you're out of the council.

Yes.

Everything on the seal is here, including confidential names.

I thought these couldn't be disclosed. Not them.

You deserve to know everything about this.

Aren't you afraid I'll give them to Lucien?

I am.

But I'm more afraid you'll never trust me again.

Careful.

Don't get the wrong idea.

I'm here about the case.

What did you find?

No more secrets.

Don't make decisions for me or Mum.

Artlist I.O. Just like that?

I didn't want you running off with that box again.

The ledger, transfer, fake witness, all seem tied to Lucy. I had these reports

before anyone else in the Vass family knew a thing.

No wonder he always knows my next move.

Do you want to investigate him?

Of course.

But I need one more promise, Your Grace.

Music licensing reimagined. Access to the archives.

Once Lucian's arrested, I want his position in the family.

All his power, too.

Get

greedy,

and those council Geards will come for you.

I'll take that as a yes.

Lucian won't be easy to take down.

What's your plan?

Feed each one fake intel.

Find Lucian's east wing mole.

Will Lucian buy it? I'll go later.

He'll bite, if only to test me.

I'll pull my men from the old archives.

Be careful.

Music licensing reimagined.

Don't look at me like that.

Go before I change my mind.

I hear Kale's made some progress.

Apparently they found something new. I'll check it out tonight.

You're going to risk your neck alone again.

Well right now I can't trust either of you.

Then be careful.

Send the tip off now.

And not with death.

The archives might hold evidence.

Seal them off.

What time did the tip come in?

2.17 p.m.

Why, do you know something I don't?

You worry too much, Grand Elder.

How would I know more about the Vos family than you?

Lucien tested me at 2 yesterday.

He moved minutes later.

My men watched the archives all night. Nothing happened.

He probably guessed you were testing him, so he got the council to seal the

place off.

Whatever. We found his mole. He's clever. This'll be fun.

You still want to do this? Yeah.

Arrest one now, the rest hide. All for nothing.

You want to go back and keep playing his game?

Don't get too close to him.

Is that a request?

Yes.

Granted.

Keep a close eye on that mole.

I think he'll make a move soon.

Routine audit.

We're authorized to seal and seize every ledger.

You never thought you'd get played, did you, Your Grace?

There you are.

Just a lackey.

Keep digging, your wing goes down first.

Be smart.

Keep your options open.

If Kael goes down, you go down with him.

He says Elio's his boss.

Come with me.

Standard procedure.

Get out!

Or do you want to be questioned too?

He needs me. I'll handle him. Don't rush in again.

You came to arrest me.

Let him think we're done.

What do you mean?

He's betting we'll split.

One crack and he'll bite.

Sell the breakup.

He'll use me for your secrets.

No.

Planning to make the decision for me again?

You barely survived.

Now you're running back to him?

It's not like you've never done the same thing.

Looks like I hit a nerve.

Check in daily.

Miss once, and the plan's off.

My shadow guards will protect you.

No arguments.

Fine.

Just make sure Lucian doesn't spot them. And one more thing.

What's that supposed to be?

Fair warning.

Don't let jealousy screw up the plan.

Don't actually fall for him your grace that depends on how well you behave

Finally

tired of your seat in the East Wing Vote against kale tomorrow and these

operating rights are yours help you your company's the one cashing in So are you

helping me or am I helping you?

Does it matter once the proposal passes?

Aren't you worried Kale and I are putting on a show for you?

Power answers to interests, not sides. I don't care which side you're on.

Kale's crushing us both.

You're hungrier for power, aren't you?

I'm in.

Freeze those rights pending a public council review.

No problem.

Had a good time talking to him.

Weren't you the one who promised not to get jealous?

If Lucent's freeze passes tomorrow, you lose two shipping routes.

He agreed too easily. There's a catch.

Be ready.

How about I go in there and kill him right now? I'm being serious. You

promised you wouldn't sabotage the plan.

Have I sabotaged anything?

No. You've behaved well.

I'm not accepting a verbal reward.

I told you. That contract is for us. And where we have one...

Don't forget who pulled you out of the mud.

Don't make yourself sound noble. It was a transaction, not charity.

Enough. This isn't the East Wing. No one here has to tolerate your control.

You'd better remember what you just said.

I remember every door that ever locked me in.

This is getting more interesting by the minute.

Leave Kael.

Your own home, assets, and observer's seat.

Guaranteed.

That sounds well beyond the payment for helping you.

Think of it as a celebration of your freedom from Kael.

I don't believe you.

But if it takes effect tomorrow, I don't really care what your motive is.

Wear this.

The whole West Wing is yours to explore.

Thanks for the trust.

Let's see where Mr. Elio goes now that he's free again.

Sign it.

Once the proposal passes, the house is yours.

Frozen reserves would hurt Kale more than losing two roots.

You need results, Elio.

Otherwise, that seat's just for show.

Are you forcing me?

No. Refuse power, and you're just a pretty pet.

Same pass-through account from the ledger, where dirty money landed.

I want every underlying voucher.

Without the original accounts, I won't endorse anything for anyone.

I like your greed, but you can only review them here.

I didn't have much time. This is all I could reconstruct.

If I don't sign, he won't believe me.

Use your judgment.

Aren't you afraid I'll run off with the money? I am, but I'm more afraid Lucerne

will threaten you.

After the vote, even your own people will probably suspect me. They won't.

They've known for a long time that you're one of the people in charge here,

too.

Elio, it's your turn to vote.

I support temporarily freezing the Port Reserve funds.

You take my token, then freeze my accounts.

Family funds aren't yours.

Afraid of audits? Step down. Find.

Dig. Find nothing, and you'll pay for it. Prove you're clean, then we'll talk.

Very good

You're

more decisive than I expected After all

what I want is a place at the very top, isn't it?

What I promised you

The man in black's payments, split across routine transactions.

Where are the originals? These copies are blurry.

Hand over.

Originals go off-site tonight for safekeeping.

Copies go next.

Moving them just as I ask.

Convenient.

I just hate stopping halfway through something.

We'll have plenty of chances later.

That's the man in black from before.

Your Grace, are we still waiting?

The signal is late.

Go to Lucian's archive outside the city.

Hiding fake entries among real ones.

Lucian's usual trick.

I need to get all of the East Wing ledgers out of here.

Mr. Elio.

You really did take the bait.

Then die here with it.

Elio!

Get him out!

Elio, give me your hand! Go after him first, Lucian's ledger is- Shut up and

give me your hand!

Risking your life for files, why didn't you tell me?

They prove Lucian framed you. I couldn't risk losing them.

And I couldn't my name matters losing them.

Clearing my name matters more than your life.

Elio, would you risk your life to clear anyone else?

You still haven't answered me.

Do you really have to interrogate me right now?

I'm not interrogating you.

I just want the answer.

I'd have done the same for anyone.

I just can't stand the way Lucan plays dirty.

Is that so?

Ask again and I'll press your wound open.

When I first came to you, it was only because I needed your power.

Mum's safety.

My future.

You or Lucan, it didn't matter.

But now it's different.

If those documents had nothing to do with you, I wouldn't have gone back for

them. Think it through.

Once you say yes, you don't get to take it back.

Ask me again and I'll take it back right now.

Going back to the West Ring tonight?

No.

I'm staying with my boyfriend.

Then it's time you fulfilled your duties as my boyfriend.

Move back in.

You've been my boyfriend for one night and you're already ready to announce it

to the world?

Why not?

Of course not.

Lucien's still guessing about us. We can't go public yet.

So I have to keep pretending you dumped me?

Poor Your Grace.

When does this end?

After we bring Lucius down.

Then I'll walk back to your side myself.

Remember you said that.

Half the archive burnt down. Not a scratch on you.

Disappointed? Quite the opposite.

Kael's private contract and records of every restriction he imposed.

What are you planning?

The family's final hearing is in three days.

Cooperate. or your mother stays a suspect.

What if I refuse?

That's not how you negotiate, Elo.

Family and love?

You have to lose one of them.

I agree.

Confirm this statement at the hearing. I'll handle the rest.

This took time.

How long have you been watching me?

Power-hungry stepson, stand out. I made Kael notice you. You sent those three

men to humiliate me. That sounds so ugly. I was helping you. After all,

truth makes the best lie.

And Kael's losing, isn't he?

Protective custody before the hearing.

Hand over all communication devices.

Who approved this?

The Council.

You agreed to this.

At the hearing, I'm going to tell the truth.

No distress signal. Stay out. Trust me, I've got this.

Alright.

Touching. Step down, Your Grace.

Spare yourself your lover's betrayal.

In your dreams.

So stubborn.

The final hearing is in two days.

Sign this first.

That afraid I'll change my mind? We've never trusted each other, have we?

The Obsidian seal.

I won't testify to something that never happened.

I confirm the restrictions.

No judgement on the seal case.

Your Grace, Lucian is clearly making false accusations.

We can petition to have this dismissed.

I make no judgment regarding responsibility for the Obsidian Seal

case.

No need. But this is Ello's own statement.

If they keep investigating... I know.

Follow the Council's order.

Enforce the suspension for now.

These are all yours.

After the hearing, Kael delivers faster. Your promises are worthless.

You haven't fully completed what I asked either. We're the same.

Paperwork won't topple kale.

Guarantee my safety before the hearing.

So this is where the thing that's been missing all this time ended up.

I'm only borrowing it.

I can make it appear anywhere it ought to appear.

For example, in Kael's room.

Evidence of Kael's abuse of power.

Please review it.

Grand Elder, Kael's unfit. I move to remove him immediately.

Elio, as the person directly involved, do you dispute any of this?

No.

Remove Kyle, investigate the East Wing, merge all three cases.

Exactly. That's what we should do. I agree.

Then we'll put it to a vote. Wait!

Controlling me isn't stealing the seal.

They're separate cases.

He framed you. You obeyed to survive.

That's the connection.

The testimony never mentioned threats over the seal. About the trust.

This proves some funds supported family intelligence. Merging the cases is

unreasonable. Find the real obsidian seal.

Recheck every payment and authorization.

Then what do you want? Find the real obsidian seal.

The impeachment is suspended.

The freeze remains.

The obsidian seal case will be reviewed separately.

I asked you to testify, not buy him time.

But you also said all I had to do was tell the truth.

Elio, smart people always think they'll survive to the end.

Then you'd better figure out how you're going to shut me up.

Last warning, Elo.

Fix your mess, or watch her die.

Elo!

Elo, save me!

You know the East Wing.

Where does Kael hide things?

Then you help the Council find the missing seal, of course.

You can refuse, but Lady Lear might not survive.

Her corpse in Kael's study works too. Poor you. You'd be left with nothing.

East Wing study behind the bookcase. Kale's secret cabinet.

Mom, it's all right.

She can't stay here. Don't worry, I'll look after her.

Your Grace,

our people obtained this search notice from the Council.

Elo's statement.

The concealed cabinet behind the bookcase.

Your Grace, should we move anything out in advance?

That cabinet's been unused for ages.

Elos lure him here.

Then what do we do now?

Quietly bring the Grand Elder and two counselors he trusts. Don't be

discovered.

Kael, did you discover something new?

You and two impetual elders stay nearby. Witness everything.

What do you mean?

Witnesses. In case someone finds something I've never seen.

Your Grace, we found suspicious footprints on the west side.

Seal the exits.

Ignore that side and keep your eyes on the study.

Your Grace, footprints lead to the archives.

If we wait, and we're really too late. Leave now, and we'll really be too late.

Wine can wait.

Gentlemen, enjoy the show from the shadows.

Take him alive!

Talk.

Who ordered you to frame the Duke?

Frame him.

I'm his operative.

He ordered the seal moved.

Nonsense! We all saw you sneak in. Stop lying!

He's fooling you.

Search me. I've got his payment records.

What is the meaning of this?

I remember your border mission.

No orders involving the seal.

Verbal orders only.

Everyone knows.

Too late to deny it.

How badly are you hurt?

Don't worry.

I'm fine.

How touching.

Elio, it seems you've finally made your choice.

My mother is still... I've already had people bring her to the East Wing.

She's safe.

We've collected enough evidence.

Elio accessed evidence illegally.

He could have staged this with Kale. My brooch logged his every move through the

West Wing.

Funny. Elio's only interested in places connected to the case. If you suspected

me from the begin, why did you keep expanding my access?

I let you in to see whether you'd betray me. Now the facts prove that you would.

Elio's compromised.

Evidence excluded pending investigation.

No contact with Kale.

Elio.

I'll wait for you to come back on your own.

Last chance.

Name Kael a suspect, or face the dungeon.

Relax.

Cooperate, and everything I promised is yours. No downside.

What about Kael?

He'll only lose his position as head of the family.

You've certainly worked out what's best for everyone.

Now it's up to you.

Kael asked me to give this to you.

You banned contact.

Now you're playing messenger for him.

I checked it.

No risk of collusion. Besides, Lucian's getting far too bold.

Took you long enough.

Don't worry about me.

Play along with Lucian.

Stay safe.

Kael forced me to sign.

Restricted my freedom.

Lucian's right.

That's between us.

You can't judge us.

Or frame us.

Elio, do you even know what you're saying?

Of course I do.

Kale baited an East Wing mole with fake archive intel.

Lucian came fishing.

Then, an anonymous request.

Seal the archive.

Kale caught Lucian's mole feeding intel to the branch's accountants.

Clean on paper.

Every transfer used the same nominee company.

That only proved someone in the collateral branch was involved.

So I investigated the ultimate beneficiary.

The vouchers and real seal both lead to Lucian's network.

Slander. This is all slander you two fabricated together.

I can prove his grace and Mr. Elo are telling the truth. I have backups of the

original records.

Still alive?

Give me those documents!

He plans to scapegoat us. I'm not dying for him!

You forgot your Fall Guys want to live too, Lucian.

Authorizations, seal trail, testimony, all match.

Care to explain, Lucian?

Explain?

I really think you've won.

Do it!

Kale. Yes.

That's how it should be. Anyone who defies me deserves to die.

Wait!

You should all die!

Every last one of you!

Look at me, Kale. Look at me.

Don't be afraid.

It didn't hit you.

You controlling bastard.

Who told you to take a bullet for me? You think that makes you a hero?

Kale. Doctor!

Get a doctor!

Kale.

Looks like I'm not dead.

Why are you crying? I'm alive, aren't I?

Do you have any idea the doctor said you almost died?

I just couldn't stand the thought of seeing you bleed.

You made me love you.

Don't make me lose you.

I love you too.

You matter more than power.

Then stay alive and prove it to me.

As you wish.

Looks like I've come at a bad time.

Lucian's guilty.

His inheritance rights and all authority are revoked.

Starting today, you replace Lucian and run the West Wing.

Congratulations, head of the West Wing.

Save the congratulations until you're out of the hospital.

The Grand Elder approved it.

Care to sign?

You can still say no at any time.

Happy wedding day, big brother.
