The Princess Edit

A nightmare.

A promise you recanted on the whim of a girl.

A reminder to you all that I won't be belittled.

A reminder to you people.

A respected lord who will restore our standing

A true king should've conquered them.

A true warrior is defined not by how she fights,

A true warrior is defined not by how she fights…

A wedding is not an act of treason.

Abides the bad behavior of his daughters.

After the coronation when I slit the king's throat.

Aim at the joints. Trust me.

All pure for her wedding.

All right, all right. Calm down. Load it up now, boy.

All right, come on. You're nearly there.

All right, then.

All right! This way!

All right.

All you had to do was accept a ring.

An heir to the kingdom was born.

And always remember, Princess,

And for me?

And how do you think you stand in the eyes of the people now?

And I beg of you, let me train as a knight instead.

And let the people see their future leader for who she is.

And make sure it is done properly this time, you understand?

And people will be even more terrified

And that's Linh.

And the warrior who trained me once upon a time.

And to be given the vast responsibility

And where is Violet? Find her now.

And you know that it will be coming.

And you will too. I will see to it myself, I promise.

And you'll be in hell…

Anything that's shiny. Anything we can sell down the village.

Are no less crucial to our family's future.

Are you sure?

As you were.

At your service every night.

At your side.

Be the weak little person you were meant to be.

Because today,

Because you know that I'll never rest,

Both?

Bring in the rest of our guests.

But by what she is fighting for.

But from your heart.

But politics?

But that will change.

But this decision has to be made strategically.

But until then…

But we have to pass through the kitchen. Okay?

But you got to do it.

But you'll sell me into the bedroom of a man I barely know.

But your education and your training

Call for Violet.

Castle is secure, sir.

Check in there! Get a move on!

Clear the tower again.

Clear!

Close those doors!

Come here, you

Come here, you little bitch.

Come here!

Come on then!

Come on, boys!

Come on, come.

Come on, move!

Come on, then.

Come on, then. Go through here.

Come on, then. Where's this food? I'm hungry.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Catch her!

Come on! Close the door.

Come on! Don't let her escape!

Come on! Get up. Get her!

Come on! Go! Look everywhere.

Come on! Hurry up!

Come on! This way!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Chop chop.

Come on. Hurry up. Through here.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on. Must be some bounty in here.

Come with me. Get up.

Come with us. Come on.

Come.

Consider no chamber clear.

Deal with this now.

Did I help?

Didn't I?

Do you even know how to use this thing?

Dogs?

Don't make me ask again.

Don't make me cut you.

Don't touch me!

Don't you move, girl!

Enough.

Enough.

Every day.

Everything else is proceeding just as my lord planned.

Fallen?

Father, if you would just let me show you

Find the girl!

For me.

Forgive me.

Fun's over.

Get a bag to put it in!

Get after her!

Get back here!

Get back here!

Get back here!

Get down, now!

Get her back in bed.

Get me down from here!

Get off me!

Get off me!

Get that lock in place!

Get to safety.

Get up!

Get your hands off!

Go now. Go!

Go on, get her!

Go on, then. Hurry up.

Go on, then. Open it.

Go on, then. You hungry?

Go on!

Go on.

Go!

Go! Move, move, move!

Good, sir.

Good.

Got a little fight in you, eh?

Hang on. I gotta take a piss.

Hang on. Who put this clown in charge?

Has someone checked that she's safe and secure?

Have we not talked about your manners?

He came in the night.

He is an honorable lord of good family.

He is an ideal candidate,

He was ruthless.

He washed up over there. He must have fallen from the tower.

He's also my uncle

Henceforth,

Here she is.

Here, you hungry, love?

Hey, Gibsy, what you got there, then?

Hey, we ain't gonna hurt you… much.

Hey, yeah.

Hey. We heard what he has to say.

Hidden. Quiet. Alive.

Holding, in my delicate, manicured hands,

How are the preparations for the wedding coming?

Huh?

Huh?

Hurry up!

Hyah!

Hyah!

I am so honored that you have chosen me as your son.

I am strong. I can fight.

I can't believe she stabbed me!

I cannot accept such a gift.

I credited you with more maturity than I should have.

I don't believe that for a moment.

I have a solution.

I have never been more proud.

I have something for these wounds.

I have to save them, Linh.

I haven't been close to the princess before.

I hoped it wouldn't come to this.

I knew it.

I know of your plans for me.

I know you need to save your strength for that limp rag of a bride.

I know.

I look forward to it.

I love you.

I managed to escape and hide, but was one of the few.

I needed that.

I never wish to see you this way again.

I never wish to see you this way again.

I once knew a princess that said the exact same thing at your age.

I only meant that last night was a spectacular show of power.

I should have trusted you.

I think she was talking about corsets.

I told you I would,

I underestimated you.

I understand this does not sit well with you.

I want it. Give me some of that.

I want this vigilante killed.

I want to be a great warrior. Like you were, Linh.

I want to fight too.

I warned you about that mouth.

I was born this way.

I was going to make your little sister's life

I was making my way to you.

I was there.

I was wrong.

I will be that power.

I will marry your sister because I always get what I want.

I will rule with aggression like no one else before!

I won't be forsaken

I would only entrust it to the hands of a true warrior.

I would only entrust it to the hands of a true warrior.

I…

I'd like to offer you this small token.

I'll be in heaven,

I'll cut out my tongue first.

I'll see you there.

I'm afraid you have me to blame for this.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm not a piece of property to be traded.

I'm s I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm the princess.

I've got you now.

I've heard that before.

If I had just done my duty

If I might, Your Majesty. She is a very smart girl.

If only there were another option.

If there is some vigilante on the loose, you take care of it.

If you wake her up, I'm gonna break your face.

In future, keep it out of view of the palace.

In the eyes of those who doubt us.

In this weak and feeble kingdom.

Instead, you made a mess.

Is everything as it was that evening?

Is everything exactly as it was?

Is she th

Is that what I asked, Kurr?

Is the pri the prince

It can only hurt you in the eyes of the very people you wish to rule.

It looks like you got me to the altar after all.

It seems so childish now.

It was never yours.

It's all my fault.

It's her.

It's like something out of a fairy tale…

Juli… …us,

Julius can't get wind of this.

Julius showed no mercy.

Julius would be the same monster no matter what you did.

Julius, if your father could see

Julius, let us find the solution to this together.

Julius, listen to me. No one can rule by fear for long.

Julius, please!

Julius, this assault…

Julius, you wouldn't.

Just as my daughter has done today.

Just get her back to bed.

Just move, will you!

Just remember,

Just thinking day and night

Keep them under control outside.

Kill the princess.

Kneel.

Kneeling before the new king.

Let's find out.

Let's get her, boys!

Let's take it all, boys!

Let's take that off.

Like a child should.

Linh, you go first.

Linh!

Linh!

Linh?

Linh.

Linh.

Listen and obey.

Listen,

Little Violet can't hide forever. We will find her.

Lock it down!

Look at the bruises. They tell the story.

Look at the mess you've made.

Look, look, look. That, there. Nice. Nice. Anything like that.

Look, she's down there!

Marry us.

Me telling you that I wanted to be a warrior.

Might be in here. Looks like she might be in here.

Mm hmm.

Mother always said that pain is beauty.

Move quickly then, boys.

Much, much easier…

My family.

My father?

My father?

My last coin.

My leg!

My leg!

Never idle, never stop,

Nice to meet you.

No bag to put it in.

No drink, no win.

No focus, no speed.

No focus, no speed. Again.

No heir.

No one gets in or out!

No one has to pretend to listen to you now.

No one was prepared.

No, don't.

No, not again. This happens every time. No.

No, Princess. No.

No, that's mine.

No, you were born to be my wife.

No!

No!

No!

No! No!

No.

No.

No.

No.

Not exactly the ladylike behavior I'd expect of you.

Not for much longer.

Not so useless now, am I?

Now I see

Now, now.

Now, rise.

Now!

Of becoming the true leader of this kingdom.

Of my new subjects…

Of ways to kill you.

Oh, "the people."

Oh, damn. Well, that usually works.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. Hurry up.

Oh, here we go.

Oh, I like a girl in lace.

Oh, thank you, Violet. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, all right.

Oh, yeah? I wonder why that is.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Do you like my hand there?

Oh, you

Oh, you do?

Oi, come over here.

Oi! Get up.

Okay.

On your knees.

Ooh, tasty.

Or worse, at the hands of some barbarian.

Otherwise, your position is in serious jeopardy.

Out of the way. Move!

Pathetic.

Patience and focus.

Patience and focus.

Patience…

People don't know what they want until they see it.

People love tradition.

Pick it up. Come on. Pick it up.

Please.

Plenty of bounty in here, boys.

Princess,

Princess, you go. I'm gonna stop her.

Princess!

Princess.

Princess. You survived.

Quickly!

Quickly! Find the child!

Right, hit me.

Ring the chapel bells until midnight

See if she's in here.

Servants?

Sh All right. Whatever you got.

Shall we?

She

She can learn many things at once.

She has a warrior's heart.

She loves it.

She refuses death, time and time again.

She'll come to you.

She's barely met him since she was a girl.

She's in the tower.

She's locked in. Chained.

She's off her nut!

Shut up!

Shut up.

Sit here.

So, this is the princess.

So… indignant.

Someone needs to teach you your place.

Stand back! We need her alive!

Stand in the middle as before.

Stay close to me.

Stay close.

Stay safe.

Stay where you are!

Stop messing around.

Strength on the throne, that is what "the people" crave.

Sweet little princess.

Take her!

Take him away.

Take it floor by floor.

Thank you.

That kind of thinking right now won't help.

That power is required on the throne.

That sword doesn't belong to you.

That you are just an impetuous girl who only thinks about herself.

That's okay. I'm used to that.

The "king."

The daughters of this kingdom make their own fate,

The flowers, candles, ribbons? The priests?

The hallway's secure. Move up to the next floor.

The king will not approve.

The king's guards were overrun.

The kingdom is ours again.

The lord's left.

The order is to search this way.

The people are not cattle. They will not follow you blindly.

The princess is dressed and ready for the wedding.

The princess?

The real power is not from your blade,

The tower is ours.

Then why not take the throne by force?

There is not a soul that can question that I'm the rightful king!

There she is!

There's a reason why traditions last centuries.

There's more rooms up here, lads. Come on.

There's only one unguarded way in.

There's plenty more in here!

They were so upset that you weren't a man.

They're in the keep.

This is all my fault.

This is one of our storehouses, in the event of a siege.

This kingdom has no heir.

This kingdom is relying on you.

This kingdom, it has no heir.

This man didn't fall.

This meat is mine. You wanna eat? Get your own food.

This will help.

Through calm, find your center.

To never turn your back.

To the top of the tower. Check on the princess.

Today, they shall have it.

Today, you're gonna fight us both.

Told ya, move! Come along!

Treason will only lead to more bloodshed.

Try it again.

Until a successor is in place.

Until I am standing above your corpse,

Until you started behaving like this.

Useless harlot.

Violence wakes people up.

Violet.

Wait!

Warm in here.

Watch your language.

We are all vulnerable, every last one of us,

We are, all of us, in your debt.

We both do. You and I.

We can finally purge this kingdom of its weakness.

We gotta find the princess.

We have no son.

We have to get in there. Let's split up.

We have to go. Okay.

We need to find a way to the sewers.

We should arrange the wedding as quickly as we can.

We shouldn't be surprised that this so called king

We will.

We'll be rich with all this.

We'll get it done, sir.

We're dealing with someone who knows this place well.

We've got some wine. What do you reckon?

We've got to find a way in!

We've got you now, girl.

Weak.

Well, go on, then!

Well, I heard…

Well, it seems the princess is still unwilling.

Well, my little princess,

Well, now we're all here.

Well, then.

Well, this will be interesting.

Well, what do we have here?

What

What are you doing here?

What are you looking at?

What did I tell you?

What do you think?

What else can we do?

What happened, Linh?

What is he doing here?

What is it?

What is this?

What is this?

What on earth are you two doing?

What on earth happened to make you end up this way?

What?

What's going on in there?

What's happened to the cook?

Where are you at? Get in here, now.

Where you going, huh?

Where's your center? Hmm?

Who else do you take orders from?

Who exactly holds the power in this kingdom?

Whoa.

Why go through all this trouble?

With any luck, soon I will give the kingdom the son it needs.

With her hand in mine,

Wondering when it's coming.

Wouldn't I?

Yeah, looking good.

Yeah, there's a reason for that.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you wanna get down to the brothel. They let you drink for free.

Yeah!

Yeah.

Yeah. Look at the pearls on that. Bet that's worth…

Yes, it may come to that.

Yes, milord. Come on.

Yes?

Yes.

Yes. That's my girl.

Yes. Up there. Go!

You are old enough now to understand.

You are old enough now to understand.

You are such a clever man.

You can get what you want without her.

You can't have my sister.

You condone this?

You did it.

You did it.

You did not honestly think that I would send you off to die,

You have made us look vulnerable in the eyes of our enemy.

You have no respect for the order of things.

You have to leave now before it's too late.

You have to stop him.

You have trampled our cherished traditions.

You have welcomed outsiders.

You know Khai as one of the king's advisers.

You know,

You look as though you won't be nearly as much trouble as your sister.

You made a promise to me.

You saw no sign of this man on your way up or down?

You seek the crown.

You should be locked up with the others.

You talk to me about trust?

You think I'm gonna let you have all the fun for yourself?

You think you're gonna make it all the way to the bottom?

You two were cut from the same cloth.

You two, search those doors.

You were right.

You will find it in yourself to do your duty.

You will find it in yourself to do your duty.

You, get them. Move!

You! You! You let me go!

You.

You. Come here!

You. There.

You'll learn to sleep with one eye open.

You're a valued consort of mine,

You're alive.

You're alive.

You're an oddity.

You're coming with us.

You're gonna get married, like it or not.

You're in the presence of a princess.

You're my child.

You're never getting out of here alive, you cu

You're not fighting from your heart.

You're not fighting from your heart.

You're supposed to be learning etiquette.

You're surrounded!

Your father was a diplomat.

Your Majesty.

Your parents wept the day you were born.

Your pretty princess.

Your still beating heart.

Yours wept for the same reason.

All right, come. Come on! Get on your feet.

All right. You ready, boys? Oh, yeah.

And as for the little one…

Are you all right? Yeah, I'm okay.

Bloody hell. What's going on? Bloody hell did he come from?

But I can be the successor. You're my child.

Chop chop. Come on. Come on, move! Move it!

Come on, boys. Come on.

Come on, come on! Come here, love.

Come on! That's mine!

Come on! Move it! On the floor.

Come on. Get up. Come on.

Come on. Move! Come on! Let's go!

Come. Linh!

Do you understand? Yes, sir!

Do you understand? Yes, sir.

Don't hog all of it, you fat bastard.

Don't touch me. No! Yes.

Get moving!

Get that off! No!

Get this off the floor. Sit!

Get up. Violet!

Get your hands off!

Give me some of that. No.

Give me that! Get off it.

Gold. Look. Where?

Good job. Oh, yes!

Gotcha!

Grab her.

Hey, what you doin' over there? What?

I can hear something. No.

I like the look of that!

I spent my money at the tower.

I will never, ever…

I'll kill you. Get away from me! …is about to become a corpse.

I'm not leaving without you. Your family needs you.

Julius, you wouldn't. Wouldn't I?

Julius! Your eldest daughter…

Leave my sister alone! Violet, no.

Let's get you ready. Yes.

Let's go! I'm coming!

Linh, no. Princess, trust me.

Linh. Princess.

Linh. Princess.

Look everywhere. Come on! Come on! Find that child!

Move! Out of the way, you big tub of lard.

Move! Let's go! Go! Come on! Move it!

No, don't!

No, give it to me! Come on, boys.

No, stop! Julius, please!

No.

Now, now. Yeah.

Oi, get that door now! Move! Go!

Oi! Where's my supper? Keep your voice down.

Ooh, nice. Thank you very much.

Pacifiers, placaters. We trusted you.

Quickly! Move!

Quiet. On the floor. Lock everything down.

Right. Right.

Search every room!

Search! Come on! Quickly!

The king is asking for you. Oh, the king?

There you go. Share it. Yeah.

They were terrified, weren't they?

What are you doing now? What's that? Quickly!

What has Julius done with my family? Fuck off.

What? Keep your voice down.

What's all that rubbish you got? Just shut up. Come on.

What's she doing?

When I slit the king's throat. I have to save them, Linh.

Where are they? I'm not telling you anything, you bitch.

Women. Women's gold?

Yeah! Come on.

Yeah. Come on.

Yes.

Yes. Mmm.

Yes. Who are you?

You wanna come with me tonight? Psst.

You, that way. In there. Quickly!

You, with me. Come on, then, boy, let's go.

…and focus.

…but by what she is fighting for.

…grateful salutes…

…have taken from me what is rightfully mine.
