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...
2:33:03
...with the gossip that it's really
Siegfried's bastard.
2:33:08
The kingdom is already rife
with the scandal. It won't go away.
2:33:13
It will taint you and your house
till the end of your days...
2:33:18
...unless something is done.
2:33:24
I'll end the alliance
and send him away.
2:33:27
- Let him live out his days in Xanten.
- It's not enough.
2:33:35
You may not care if men scorn you
as a weakling and a cuckold.
2:33:38
But what about me? I was betrayed
by the dragon slayer and by you.
2:33:44
I am the Queen of Iceland
and Burgund.
2:33:47
I will not be dishonored.
I will be avenged.
2:33:52
There is only one punishment
fit for such a crime.
2:33:56
What would you have me do?
