:05:15
My kingdom seething with revolt,
cutthroats and assassins in every tree!

:05:21
Why must I be surrounded by fools?
Ravenhurst! Ravenhurst!

:05:27
Sire!
:05:28
Could you have been so
incompetent, bungled so horribly,

:05:31
as to have permitted
that child to live?

:05:33
Sire, there is no child.
:05:35
My men assure me that none
of the royal family escaped alive.

:05:39
Believe me, sire,
this is nonsense.

:05:41
Nonsense? You call it nonsense, Ravenhurst!
:05:44
Is it nonsense that I cannot
ride my own domain,

:05:47
without being
murderously attacked.

:05:50
My child, I came
within an inch of my life.

:05:54
Oh, father.
:05:56
Each day, some new insurrection.
Who is this Black Fox?

:06:00
Oh just some ridiculous adventurer
with a handful of rabble.

:06:04
Rabble today but
an army tomorrow!

:06:07
We need help to wipe
them out. Men and arms!

:06:09
Aye, an alliance with our good
friend Griswold of the North!

:06:12
Aye, alliance, and quickly! He arrives
tomorrow for the great tournament.

:06:16
Alliance with Griswold...
:06:18
Sire, this rabble
can be crushed.

:06:20
Griswold has men and arms.
:06:22
We need no uncouth
interloper from the north.

:06:25
Uncouth, yes, but
Griswold is strong.

:06:29
Perhaps too strong.
:06:30
Perhaps our friend
Ravenhurst fears an alliance

:06:33
would put Griswold and not
himself at the king's right hand!

:06:37
You shall die for this!
:06:38
One of us will!
:06:40
Stop! Stop! Stop, I say!
:06:44
Put up your
sword, you fool.

:06:49
Sire! -Silence! -But sire! -Silence!
-Your pardon, sire.

:06:52
And you, too. Must we
quarrel amongst ourselves?

:06:57
Do you think I
could make alliance?
