707
00:51:35,536 --> 00:51:38,570
If those shipping lanes fall,

708
00:51:38,605 --> 00:51:41,272
my house will be crippled.

709
00:51:41,307 --> 00:51:43,640
And I will not have Driftmark
beggared while our King

710
00:51:43,676 --> 00:51:47,278
idles himself with feasts
and balls and tourneys.

711
00:51:47,313 --> 00:51:50,614
I will speak of my brother as I wish.

712
00:51:52,318 --> 00:51:53,984
You will not.

713
00:51:54,019 --> 00:51:55,886

714
00:51:57,190 --> 00:51:58,956
Waiting in the Stepstones

715
00:51:58,991 --> 00:52:01,225
is a chance for you to prove your worth

716
00:52:01,260 --> 00:52:03,894
to any who might yet doubt it.

717
00:52:05,231 --> 00:52:08,132
We are the realm's second sons, Daemon.

718
00:52:09,402 --> 00:52:11,602
Our worth is not given.

719
00:52:12,972 --> 00:52:15,138
It must be made.

720
00:52:16,642 --> 00:52:18,809
