:47:00
I mean, because you
wouldn't want to hurt me.
:47:04
Because I'm your queen.
:47:06
And so I'll never know
till everyone else knows...
:47:10
...and is laughing at me
that I've lost you.
:47:14
Let me finish, sweet.
:47:17
When the time comes...
:47:20
...and I seem old to you...
- You're not old.
:47:23
I won't have you old.
:47:24
And you love someone else...
:47:27
...be kind and tell me.
:47:29
Will you do that?
:47:31
You may kill me if I ever say it.
:47:34
Love...
:47:36
...may I say one thing more
that may hurt you?
:47:40
Anything.
:47:41
Now that you're back
and safe in my heart again...
:47:45
...the post I have given you
will not content you.
:47:48
Your blood will be on fire to lead
some new command, some far adventure.
:47:54
If you hear I need a general anywhere,
promise me you will not ask to go.
:48:01
Is this what you wanted?
To force me into a cowardly promise?
:48:05
- Are you afraid I might return in triumph?
- Not that, dearest. No.
:48:09
But there are those here at court,
powerful enemies...
:48:12
...who would love to see you
gone from me...
:48:15
...and who would stop at nothing
to trick you into disaster.
:48:18
- Am I afraid of such...?
- I asked you not to be angry.
:48:22
Not angry? When you think I can't outflank
such numskulls as Raleigh and his clique?
:48:29
Very well.
:48:32
Go, if you like.
:48:34
Only I love you and say
what would be wisest.
:48:39
The things I love in you most,
your honesty, your reckless pride...
:48:43
...are the very things
they would play upon, sweet.
:48:46
All I ask of you is be careful.
:48:49
Surely you can do so little
for one who loves you so well.
:48:54
Will you promise?
:48:57
Promise.
