2:31:03
I don't understand how you could
reveal my most intimate secret...

2:31:06
...and your brother's,
in front of the whole of Burgund.

2:31:11
Kriemhild, I only broke my vow
because I counted on your discretion.

2:31:15
I know. I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.

2:31:19
I love you more than life.
2:31:21
Now I'm terrified something awful will
happen, and somehow we'll be parted.

2:31:34
No more tears.
2:31:39
In two days, we'll be far away
from this place...

2:31:43
...far away from your brother
and his marriage.

2:31:46
He was wrong to make you a part of it.
He took advantage of your loyalty.

2:31:52
But it's over now.
2:31:55
I'll attend the hunt with him,
and we'll part as friends.

2:31:58
Today, I'll give orders for the gold
to be loaded onto our ship.

2:32:02
As soon as the hunt is done...
2:32:03
...we can be on our way.
- Can't it be done any sooner?

2:32:08
I wish...
2:32:11
...but we cannot give your brother
the impression...

2:32:14
...that we leave bearing him ill will.
2:32:24
- I told you he wasn't to be trusted.
- Never mind that.

2:32:27
What justice can I administer
to put this right?

2:32:30
The simple justice laid down in
our books of law may not be sufficient.

2:32:35
Siegfried has used magic
to help you, it's true.

2:32:39
But what other use
has he made of it?

2:32:41
You've heard the people
praise him more than you.

2:32:44
Now he has your sister's hand
in marriage.

2:32:47
He has a legitimate claim
to the throne of Burgund.

2:32:50
What's he planning next, my king?
2:32:52
- Your downfall?
- You said the presence of that hoard...

2:32:55
...in my chamber
would bring me good.

2:32:57
Even if the queen begets a child by you,
every tongue in Burgund will wag...
