THERE'S ONE FOR EACH OF YOU. LADY RUTHERFORD. YES, YOUR MAJESTY. THE FIRST SYMPTOM OF THE ILLNESS IS TREMBLING OF THE HANDS, CORRECT? THEN BLISTERS FORM ON THE SKIN, AND HAIR BEGINS TO FALL OUT. YES, THOSE ARE EXACTLY MY DAUGHTER'S SYMPTOMS. IT ALWAYS STARTS THAT WAY. BUT IT ONLY GETS WORSE. ONCE IT GETS HARD TO EVEN MOVE AND YOU'RE BEDRIDDEN, YOUR NAILS FALL OFF... ONE BY ONE. SPEECH SLURS, AND MEMORIES BLUR... AND AFTER THAT, WELL, YOU'VE ALL SEEN WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ROYAL FAMILY. WHAT STAGE IS YOUR DAUGHTER AT NOW? SHE CAN BARELY MOVE. THEN SHE'S FORTUNATE. AT THAT STAGE, SHE'LL RECOVER QUICKLY. THE CURE IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. I BEG YOUR PARDON? YOU'RE SAYING THE ILLNESS CAN BE CURED WITH THIS HERB? MAYBE WE CAN GIVE IT TO HER FIRST BEFORE DECIDING... WHAT? HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THIS? DUKE VAUGHN WHEATON ARE YOU TRULY SAYING... ...YOU CAN SAVE MY DAUGHTER? SHE'LL BE FULLY HEALED WITHIN TWO MONTHS. THERE'S JUST ONE MORE THING. THIS IS IMPORTANT. THAT'S... THIS LIQUID IS THE CAUSE OF THE ILLNESS. NEVER USE IT AGAIN. SO THIS IS WHAT KILLED HIS LATE MAJESTY. TO THINK SOMETHING THAT CAUSES DISEASE JUST BY CONTACT WAS PRAISED AS AN ELIXIR OF IMMORTALITY... HE DRANK IT CONSTANTLY. TOWARD THE END, DIDN'T HE EVEN BURN IT WHOLE AND INHALE THE FUMES? THERE'S NO WAY THE ROYAL FAMILY WOULD PASS UP RUMORS ABOUT A MIRACLE DRUG. IT STARTED WITH THE FIRST QUEEN, AND THEN THE NOBLES FOLLOWED. WHO CAN WE BLAME? I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED MY DAUGHTER WHEN SHE STARTED DABBING IT ON HER SKIN. WE ALL MADE THE SAME MISTAKE. IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I NEED TO GO ATTEND TO MY CHILD. Episode 9 THAT WENCH... I SHOULD HAVE DESTROYED HER LONG AGO. THIS IS UNBEARABLE... AND INFURIATING! ONE! TWO! THEY'RE TRAINING EVEN ON A DAY LIKE THIS? WE HAVE DRILLS EVERY DAY TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALWAYS READY FOR ANY EMERGENCY. TRAINING IN THE RAIN IS THE WORST... EVERYTHING'S DAMP, YOUR BODY FEELS HEAVY, YOU CAN'T SEE CLEARLY... I DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER IT, BUT I CAN'T FORGET. WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME? DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY? YOU'LL BORE A HOLE IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD. I COMMAND YOU TO SPEAK. I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE MEDICINE. THERE'S NO DOUBT IT'S EFFECTIVE. I DON'T QUESTION THAT. I WAS JUST CURIOUS HOW YOU KNEW. WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I WAS FREQUENTLY SUMMONED BY THE ROYAL CONSORTS. AT SOME POINT, THEIR FACES STARTED LOOKING STRANGE. THEIR SKIN WAS PALE AND SMOOTH, BUT NOT EXACTLY HEALTHY. THE FIRST QUEEN, WHO ALWAYS HAD ROSY CHEEKS, SHOWED UP ONE DAY ENTIRELY DEVOID OF HER NATURAL FLUSH. WHAT IS THAT, YOUR MAJESTY? THIS? IT'S SOMETHING LOWLY PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND YOUR MOTHER WILL NEVER GET YOUR GRUBBY HANDS ON. THOSE HORRIBLE PEOPLE WERE SMEARING POISON ON THEMSELVES OUT OF ENVY OVER THOSE WITH CLEAR COMPLEXIONS. THEN, MORE PRINCES AND PRINCESSES STARTED TO LOSE THEIR FLUSH. IT FELT WRONG, SO I LOOKED INTO IT. TURNS OUT, IT WAS ALREADY INFAMOUS IN THE NORTH. COULD IT BE...? YES, THEY WERE ALL USING THE SILVER OINTMENT FROM EARLIER. AND THOSE WHO INHALE THE FUMES DEVELOP EVEN MORE SEVERE SYMPTOMS. THE ONE WHO ENCOURAGED EVERYONE TO START INHALING IT... WAS ME. I DIDN'T EXPECT THEM TO DIE SO QUICKLY, THOUGH. IF WE'D KNOWN ABOUT THIS SOONER, HIS LATE MAJESTY MIGHT HAVE RECOVERED. WHAT A SHAME. A SHAME INDEED. IT WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER IF HE'D HELD ON A LITTLE LONGER, AS PLANNED. I HAVE SOME NEWS FOR YOU. PLEASE DON’T LET IT CATCH YOU TOO OFF GUARD. WHAT IS IT? AFTER YOUR MAJESTY WAS DECLARED QUEEN, THE THIRD PRINCE-- OH, I ALREADY HEARD ABOUT THAT. HE KILLED THE FIFTH PRINCE, THEN JUMPED FROM THE TOWER. THE THIRD PRINCE AND I NEVER GOT ALONG. I’M NOT PARTICULARLY SAD. IF HE HAD RECOVERED, HE WOULD’VE TRIED TO STEAL THE THRONE BY TALKING ABOUT LEGITIMACY AND BLOODLINES. ISN’T IT RIDICULOUS TO PITY SOMEONE LIKE THAT? I DIDN’T THINK ABOUT THAT. MY APOLOGIES. WITH THE ROYAL FAMILY SETTLED, WE’LL NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DEAL WITH THE NOBLES NEXT. STEP I FEEL NO GUILT. THOSE PEOPLE TORMENTED AND CURSED MY MOTHER AND ME OUR ENTIRE LIVES. NOW I’LL NEVER HAVE TO SEE THEIR FACES AGAIN. I WON’T BE LIVING A FIFTH LIFE. BY THE WAY, YOU CALLED ME "YOUR MAJESTY" AGAIN. I'LL HAVE TO PUNISH YOU FOR THAT.
