to sway you into trusting him

the way his father swayed Quilok.

For your sake, I hope the apple

falls miles from the tree.

You said what's on your mind.

You can go now.

- Wait. I'm coming with you.

- I don't think so.

I order you to take me along.

I'm not a knight of your court

just yet.

I don't take orders from you.

Sorry, Princess.

I think I should send both of you

to charm school.

You know, my boy,

if our plan doesn't work,

we will have only put

many more lives in peril.

Well, unless there was a bit

of my father's blood in me.

Now, wait for my signal.

When you're done,

meet me back here.

Be careful, there. Good luck.

What do you want?

I want you to stop treating me

like I'm useless.

You again?

What are you doing here?

Helping you.

Now, do you see

I can keep up with you?

- I've tracked you down twice.

- Helping me?

You're sure you're not here

to tell me more lies?

Almost killing me isn't helping me.

I am as capable as any man.

Please. I've heard it before.

Besides, I know nothing I could say

could make you turn back.

Well, at least you're learning.

Just stay close

and try not to get yourself killed.

I'll try.

There, there.

I'll be back soon.

Stay.

Why are we stealing the dracon now

instead of under the cover of night?

There's a changing of the guards

in the morning.

It's when the dracon

is the least defended.

And I'm going in alone.

I want to go with you.

I need you here. It's the best place

to spot me when I exit.

You then start the signal

to Sangimel.

Inside is all you'll need

for the signal.

How will you get inside?

I grew up here.

I know this castle

and all its shadows.

You be careful,

there's tree people everywhere.

You know I can take care of myself.

Put down the dracon

and surrender your weapons.

Paxian.

Let go of me.

You aren't in charge here, Princess.

I know you.

You are the son of Alador.

I recognize your amulet.

Does that mean

you're going to let me walk free?

I'm afraid not.

I knew you couldn't be trusted.

How insightful of you.

You would have made a good Queen.

Such a waste.

Why are you doing this?

Augustin is weak.

His kingdom is run by laws.

But no law can control

the will of man.

All Quilok needed was a little help

from a fiery friend.

You're responsible

for the fire dragon.

It wasn't hard to do.

The fire dragon was hibernating.

All I did was wake it from its sleep.

You're a murderer.

Yes. Finish her off.

No!

- What happened?

- Paxian.

He's been conspiring with Quilok

to destroy my father.

And they're using the dragon

to help their cause.

- Are you all right?

- I'm fine.

We need to get back

to the castle to warn my father.
