Seraphina.

This kingdom rose by your hand, yet it bleeds because of you.

In the name of the king, I condemn you to eternal chains for the sin of

seduction. Unless pardoned by the royal blood of Oswald, you shall never see the

light of day again.

Helena Spencer, you are to be queen.

Remember, guard your tongue and mind your step.

The House of Oswald offers no forgiveness.

Once those doors open, I'll finally meet the king.

The man I will spend the rest of my life with.

Queen Helena is here to see his majesty.

Your majesty?

Well, aren't you a pretty little thing to break in, my sweet little queen?

You actually make this dull crown entertaining.

Don't just stand there.

Strip and join us.

Off with the gown, your majesty.

Let's get dirty.

Don't you dare touch me!

Today is my wedding day! I am your queen!

Your majesty, I feel unwell. I should leave!

Looks like you've married a woman with no taste for pleasure, your majesty.

She just doesn't know how to please her husband yet.

That's all right.

She'll learn.

How can they live like this?

Ancient gods, if you're listening, please.

I don't ask you to spare me. Just give me the strength to save my king and

restore honor to this broken throne.

Helena Spencer, you poor, sweet little thing.

Save your prayers.

The gods abandoned this rotting kingdom a long time ago.

Found you.

Let go of me! Who are you?

The entire palace is looking for you, your majesty.

I... I just saw a snake back there. A massive one.

Just the shadows.

It's not safe down here.

Come with me.

What is this place?

The Serpent Temple.

Sealed within this temple is a monster.

Look into her eyes, and you'll lose your mind in an instant.

But offer her your soul willingly, and she'll show you pleasures you can't even

dream of. Tell me, Your Majesty, would you offer her your soul? You accompany

through all those lonely nights in this cold hall?

No. I am the Queen.

I would never lower myself to sleep with a monster.

Maybe not today.

But one day, when the king forgets you and you're alone, burning for his touch,

her cold scales will bind you.

Her tail will slip inside, and you will hate yourself for wanting more. Who are

you?

We'll meet again, my queen.

Very soon.

Her cold scales will bind you.

Her tail will slip inside.

Your Majesty, your bath is ready.

Is the king... Is he coming to my chambers tonight?

Would you like to select your bath salts, my queen?

You pathetic, useless little girl.

First night of your marriage and you let the king sleep in a whore's bed.

This kingdom has no use for a queen who can't even spread her legs to give us an

heir.

Martha, dress the queen and pull that corset two inches tighter until she

learns how to seduce a man and carry an heir. That corset does not come off.

It wasn't my fault.

The king's! The king's!

I decide whose fault it is.

One month. If your belly is still empty, your family will be stripped of

everything. And every Spencer girl sold to the lowest brothel.

No. I won't let that happen.

I won't let them lay a finger on my family!

I know you're in here.

Come out.

I've come to make a deal, and I believe you'll want to hear it.

My sweet little queen, one lonely night, and you've already come crawling back.

For my comfort?

No. I came to make a deal.

It was you.

I knew it.

No ordinary servant would ever come near this place.

So, now that you've seen what I truly am, do you still want to make a deal

with a monster?

Do you still want to make a deal?

With a monster.

What's the matter?

Are you afraid?

I thought you came back because of my little gift.

Did you like it?

That's not why I'm here.

I have exactly one month to get pregnant and secure my crown. I need you to teach

me how to make a man want me.

I need to make Arthur obsessed with me.

Your bed?

Your problem.

Why should I lower myself to teach you how to pleasure some mortal fool?

Because you want out of here.

Careful, little human. I could tear that pretty head off your shoulders and have

you for lunch.

But you won't. You've been chained in the dark for centuries.

I'm the only soul you can touch.

And you need me to break those chains, don't you?

Only by sleeping with one of royal blood shall her sin of seduction be forgiven.

And only then shall she walk free. That's all I need to know.

Listen.

If you want your freedom, you have to keep me alive in this hellhole first.

You help me secure my throne, and you get your chains broken.

Well, look at that.

You're sharper than you look.

You've got a deal.

Meet me in the Royal Gardens, tonight at midnight. When the Brahma Kamal blooms,

the seal is at its weakest.

It is the only time I can leave this temple and move through the palace.

Don't keep me waiting, my queen.

Look at you, right on time. So eager for your first lesson, huh?

Then let me show you just how dangerous a request you've made.

I'm going to learn every secret your body has been hiding.

By the time I'm done, the only word you'll remember is my name.

Look at me.

Whatever he does, never let him see your fear or disgust.

Then...

Make him believe your heart beats for him and him alone.

What am I doing?

Why does my body burn every time she touches me? Why can't I stop wanting

more?

Focus, my queen.

This is a lesson.

Where is your head at?

I'm not.

I think... I want...

Arthur! Arthur's coming!

Get off me now!

Let him come. Let him see how his pure, innocent queen surrenders beneath a

monster. No! Please! No!

What's hiding in there?

Your Majesty.

Why are you breathing so hard?

Your Majesty, I'm just tired.

What the hell is wrong with you, Helena?

Nothing, your majesty.

I'm just so nervous to see you.

Then why do you look like you're in pain?

The nights have been so long, so empty.

I've missed you, your majesty.

Perhaps tonight I could accompany you to the banquet.

I might be able to bring you a different kind of pleasure.

That's more like it tonight. I'll finally get a taste of you, little bird.

That stupid bitch. She's begging to die.

Does she really think playing sweet will loosen my hold on the king?

That crown will be mine, and mine alone.

Such a gifted student.

Tell me.

If he'd lifted your skirts just now, what do you think he would have done?

Don't touch me.

You enjoyed it, didn't you?

Watching me falling apart, turning my suffering into some kind of game. Is

that what your kind does? Feed on other people's pain?

A game.

So to the great Queen Helena, I'm just some filthy little amusement, huh?

Isn't it true?

How are you any different from Arthur?

You're both just using my body to satisfy your own twisted desires.

You dare compare me to that bastard?

Have you forgotten, my queen?

You never once pushed me away. All you had to do was say no, and I would have

stopped.

But you didn't.

I... Do you have any idea what it's like to be chained in the endless dark?

Do you know what House Oswald has done to me? And still you ask me to teach you

how to please them. And still I agreed to help you.

Seraphina, you know that's not what I meant. Then go be their queen.

Helena, the next time Arthur has you bleeding at his feet, don't come

crawling back to me.

Seraphina, forgive me.

I cannot lose the crown, not you.

Make him believe your heart beats for him and him alone.

My queen, you finally look like a real woman.

I shall visit your chambers tonight.

Your Majesty, perhaps this can be a new beginning for us.

Please, send your mistress away. Let us try to live as a true husband and wife,

okay?

Has the new queen lost her mind?

Listen carefully, Helena, to House Oswald.

You are nothing but a high-priced breeding mare, meant to spit out an

heir. You don't get to demand a damn thing from me!

You will pay for this, Arthur Oswald!

Take the seat, Vivian.

Your Majesty, wouldn't sitting in the Queen's chair be an insult to Her

Majesty?

You deserve it far more than that bitch.

Helena, it seems my kindness has made you arrogant.

You've forgotten how to serve your husband.

So let's start from the bottom. On your knees!

Pour Vivian some wine!

The Queen's throne is mine.

A stupid little girl like you?

You won't even fit to be my maid.

Father, please.

You can't just sit there and watch them humiliate me like this.

Your Majesty, Helena has always been too proud and spoiled.

House Spencer thanks you for taking the time to teach her how to serve her

husband.

Well, Helena, at least your father knows his place.

A kingdom that treats its queen like a toy and lets a whore sit in her place

has no honor. Arthur Oswald, you disgust me!

You bitch!

Do you have any idea who you're speaking to? The only thing I regret is ever

hoping for anything from a man like you. You're begging for death.

Why waste your rage, Your Majesty?

Our little darling's in the pit.

I've been starving for days.

You're right.

It's been a while since we've had a proper show.

You heard her.

Open it.

Let them out.

You see, your majesty, there's something you don't know.

These beauties are trained.

They won't strike.

Unless...

Unless we give them prey.

Once they catch the scent, they'll tear it apart piece by piece, nice and slow.

I actually believed that man could be my husband.

God, I was such a fool.

And my father, the very man who cast me into this hell, he watches them tear me

apart.

And I still wanted to protect him.

How pathetic.

Someone! Anyone!

Please! Help me!

She's dead.

I knew you'd come for me.

What kind of trouble did you get yourself in this time, Helena?

Seraphina, you're hurt.

Damn it! What is that smell on you?

I... They covered me in...

Get away from me!

Get out of here! That filth on your skin is triggering my bloodlust. If you

stay... I'll tear through flesh and bone and swallow you whole!

What are you doing, Helena?

Don't come any closer!

I'm not leaving.

And I'm sorry I was ever afraid of you, Serafina.

The humans above us, they are the true monsters.

And you, you are the one I desire.

In the name of House Oswald, I give you my soul and every broken piece of this

body.

Helena, do you have any idea what you're saying?

I will pardon your sin, break your chains, and give you back your freedom.

I'm your offering now.

Devour me.

Move I want to watch that bitch suffer with my own eyes

Where

is she

has my little bird bird already been torn to pieces I want to see that pretty

corpse

No!

Demons! They're demons!

He's gone.

I'm all yours now.

My queen.

Once we begin, there's no going back. You know that, don't you?

Yes, and I can't wait, Serafina.

Tell me, what do you seek?

I need you.

Serafina, you're free now.

Go. Run to the forests, the swamps, anywhere.

Just don't come back to this cursed palace.

And what about you?

I'm a bird in a golden cage. Where could I possibly go?

If one of us gets to live free, that's enough for me.

You're still here?

I thought you'd be gone.

Your Majesty, did you really think you could sleep with me for one night and

cast me aside the next morning?

That's not what I meant.

Come with me, Helena.

Let's leave this place.

Let me take you home.

But I'm only human.

How could someone like me enter the realm of the Serpent God?

Oh, sweetheart.

Once you've tangled with a serpent, you don't get to walk away.

You bear my mark.

You're mine now.

Return to my realm. Perform the oldest rites. We will bind our souls before my

family. Life after life.

No one will ever take you from me again.

Before your family?

Seraphina, this is insane.

Just give me time to think about it.

The Queen!

It's the Queen!

Gods above!

She made it out alive!

The serpents did not touch the Queen!

She has the blessing of the Serpent God!

All hail the Queen!

Your Majesty, you have guests waiting for you.

Helena, my poor sweet girl.

Sister, I missed you so much.

Have they been treating you well?

I'm... I'm fine.

Don't worry about me.

What a sweet, devoted sister.

How touching.

Since our queen so miraculously survived, I've graciously allowed her

mother and sister to remain at the palace and keep her company.

You're holding them hostage?

You brought them here to force me to obey you? It's a blessing, child.

You've proven yourself clever enough to be useful. Put away that useless pride.

Crawl back into the king's bed and give this kingdom an heir as quickly as you

can. Then your family will live.

Otherwise, the king's wolves are always hungry for fresh meat.

Don't be afraid.

I'll stay right here and protect you I won't let

anyone lay a finger on my family

What is happening to me?

An omen.

A monster has broken this...

I knew you would come, Serpent Princess.

What exactly did the Oswalds do to me? The seal is broken.

Why can't I leave this damn place?

Oh, great serpent.

Have you forgotten?

House Oswald offers no forgiveness.

And yet you actually believed they would let you go.

You fool.

A mortal soul wasn't meant to free you. It was meant to chain you forever.

What are you talking about?

Whoever you bound yourself to, you belong to them now.

Stay within a hundred paces, and you will be their guardian.

Strape any farther, and your heart will shatter. You will drown in your own

blood. Your life is bound to theirs, and so is your death.

The reckoning has begun.

House Oswald will pay for its sins.

Tears won't save you, Helena. In this place, the only way to survive is to

become a monster, just like them.

You are not here to play the virgin saint, my queen.

You let the king sleep in a whore's bed.

And you publicly defied his orders. Since you haven't learned how to be a

proper queen, I will personally teach you some discipline tonight.

Tonight I'm going to teach you a lesson you will never forget.

Martha, put it on her.

Caroline, I am the queen of the house Oswald.

What gives you the right to treat me this way?

If anything happens to me tonight, the Holy Court will come for you. Are you

prepared to pay that price?

You dare threaten me?

You little bitch!

Before this night is over, and peering is wrapping owls over!

You bitch!

You dare fight back?

Tie her down!

Put the shock collar on her now!

Not so bold now, are you, bitch?

You think you can break me into obedience?

I would rather burn this place to the ground than let you control me.

She's insane!

She's completely insane!

Let her burn! Move!

Lock the doors! Lock her in!

here. I won't give up.

Mother and Alice are still waiting for me.

Serafina, you must be home by now.

I miss you so much.

I'm here.

I've got you

Let me get you somewhere safe.

Does it hurt?

I suppose it doesn't matter if it does.

From now on, Your Majesty, I'm your loyal little slave.

Anyone who dares hurt you again, I'll rip their throat out myself.

Slave?

What are you talking about?

Are you staying with me?

We're bound together now. If I leave you, I die.

I thought it was the mark of our bond.

Now I know.

It is a brand.

One that has changed my life to yours.

How could this happen?

I'm so sorry, Serafina.

I wanted to set you free, but instead I trapped you inside another cage.

Don't be foolish, my queen.

There's no cage.

I'm here because I choose to be.

You're exhausted.

Go sleep.

Mother Alys, I'll get you out. I promise.

Don't be afraid, my little queen.

I'm not going anywhere.

If fate has bound us together, then I'll embrace it. I'll protect you. I'll tear

down every obstacle in your path.

From now on, we live as one, and we die as one.

Rise and shine, your majesty.

The royal hunting party's about to depart.

Caroline is keeping Mother and Alice in the palace, to use them as leverage

against me.

We have to find a way to get them out.

We'll find our moment.

The moment the palace guards let their guard down, I'll get you all out of

here.

I swear to you, no one will lay a finger on your family.

Your Majesty, we've arrived at the Blackwood hunting grounds.

The king has already ridden out. He requests that you join him at once.

Mind your manners.

There's no need to rush the queen.

Watch your step, your majesty.

I hope this bumpy ride hasn't left your legs too weak.

Helena, what kept you so long in that carriage?

It's time to place the bets.

Our noble queen seems completely uninterested in his majesty's triumphs.

He just shot a buck clean through the eye, and you don't even have a single

word of praise.

Are the women of the Spencer family all this arrogant?

No wonder your little sister needs to be properly trained at court.

My move represents the dignity of the royal family.

I can't exactly run around behind the king like a rabbit in heat, can I?

And you are... Forgive me. What was your name again?

You! You and your little maid!

How dare you speak to me that way!

Your Majesty!

Are you going to let the queen insult me?

Enough, both of you. Your Majesty, wait!

What are you looking at?

Take me somewhere quiet.

Your Majesty, a sealed letter from His Holiness the Pope.

Helena, things are about to become very interesting.

I hear Arthur took that pretty noble boy back to his tent.

Wouldn't surprise me.

So, which one do you think will be on top tonight?

You still have time for jokes?

The Pope's messenger just delivered a sealed letter this morning, and you're

certain it has nothing to do with us? Relax.

For the past ten years, the king's eyes have only followed pretty boys,

mistresses, and riding clats.

He won't spare you a second glance, my queen.

Let's hope your ego is right.

Your Majesty.

What brings you here?

What, am I not allowed to visit my own wife?

Forgive me, your majesty.

I am unwell tonight.

If you need company, I can send for the others.

I know you hate me.

I've been cold. I've been cruel to you. You have every right to hate me. Your

Majesty, I don't understand.

All my life I was called the weakest, most useless prince.

Even on the throne, I never feel secure.

The only time I feel safe is when I'm wrapped in warm flesh.

I've forgotten how to live with myself.

But you, my little bird, you're different.

You're pure.

You're honest.

You would never lie to me.

Arthur. You are the king of this kingdom. No one can erase your glory.

Who's there?

Your Majesty!

It could be dangerous! Don't go!

Who are you?

Your Majesty.

I am just the Queen's personal maid. I was cleaning up and accidentally knocked

over the screen.

Useless girl. You cannot even clean without breaking something.

Don't just stand there. Come pour my wine.

You there.

What's taking you so long?

Can't you see my cup's empty?

At once, Your Majesty.

You clumsy fool. Get out of here. We don't need you. Your Majesty, I will

serve you myself.

Asleeping, Dros? My little queen has grown clever.

Fine. I'll let Helena handle this herself.

Yes, Your Majesty. If you need anything, call for me. I'll be right outside.

What's wrong?

Did I interrupt your majesty's fun?

Couldn't wait to crawl into that bastard's bed to keep your crown?

It's not what it looks like. Just listen to me. I don't...

Stop

this. Seraphinda, let me explain. If

he wakes up and sees us like this...

Since your majesty enjoys dangerous games so much, perhaps I should play

with you instead, right here, before his eyes.

Serafina, I would be happy to say yes.

But not tonight!

You... you used yourself to distract me?

I told you, I have something important to do, but you wouldn't listen.

What could possibly be so important that you'd risk throwing yourself at that

bastard?

You still want to go back to him.

Don't you understand?

He never planned to let you walk away tonight.

If I weren't here, you would be crying beneath that bastard right now.

Serafina. There's no time. The draught could wear off at any moment.

Either help me or leave. Choose. You.

Fine. As Her Majesty commands.

I shall leave.

Follow her. Make sure she doesn't come back alive.

Stupid little bitch.

She walked willingly into her own grave.

By nightfall, I'll be the new queen.

Thank God I used to hunt with my family. I can handle this. I have to survive.

I have to get this key to Seraphina.

Damn it!

Your Majesty, your time is up.

A gun like this blows up pretty easy.

Hey! Blades are so boring! Why don't you take this instead?

Is that you, Serafina?

I know you're here! Come out and face me!

Have you lost your mind?

You came into Blackwood alone?

Do you have any idea what could have happened to you?

Serafina, now you can finally leave me.

This key can break the mark between us.

You won't have to be trapped in that dark temple anymore, and you won't have

to stay and protect a burden like me.

So this is what you risked your life for, Helena?

To drive me from your side?

For good?!

Umbra Serpentis, divide!

You're going to throw your life away for a damn key?

I didn't ask you to save me. Let go.

Not a chance, my queen. You think I'm going to let that useless bastard Arthur

win? In his dreams.

Seraphina, I'm going to open that vault and set you free.

And don't forget, we are bound by this mark now. You have to listen to me.

You really leave me no choice, my queen.

Fine, I'll listen to you. Hold on.

Birch every inch of this place. That bitch Helena is not walking out of

Blackwood alive.

Archers, loose!

Looks like we only have one way out.

Afraid of heights?

Better than getting caught.

The guards will find us soon.

I need to get you out of Blackwood.

Helena, don't. They're hideous.

How did you get these scars?

When I was young, I believed the first Oswald King was a great ruler. I led my

people into his wars.

I swore to fight for his glory.

These scars are just marks left by the war.

You must have been an incredible warrior.

And what did it get me?

Nothing but betrayal, slander, and centuries chained in the dark.

Slander?

So the stories about the serpent woman seducing armies, they are not true?

Of course not.

Those fools just couldn't handle their own desires.

Do you believe me?

Of course I believe you.

I know you'd never want to see anyone hurt.

Because of you.

But... The temptation of the serpent god?

That part might just be true, Serafina.

No one can resist you.

Not even me.

If I had been there, I would have fought them for you, too.

This time, let me please you.

Why are you crying?

I risked everything for that key because I wanted to free you from that sick

royal family, not drive you away.

The Oswalds have been so cruel to you.

You shouldn't have to carry any of this.

I want you to choose your own life.

To live proud and free.

And me?

I'm just a toy in a gilded cage.

Maybe the only reason I was ever born was to set you free.

Search this place!

I know she's... What

the hell is that? That bitch Helena is actually screwing a monster.

I have to tell the king. She's as good as dead.

Wait, there's another one.

What is that? The sacred fruit. It's a powerful aphrodisiac. The royals believe

eating it almost guarantees you'll get pregnant.

So your plan is to give that bastard the fruit and pretend you want him back?

Exactly. Arthur is desperate for an heir, and for the Pope's funding. The

moment he drags me to bed, I'll knock him out, slip into the vault, and

destroy whatever is binding you. It could work, but you must be careful.

Helena, you risked your life in Blackwood for this fruit, and now you're

just handing it over to me?

This doesn't seem like you.

He has a point.

Even I'm starting to wonder what our queen is really after.

Your Majesty!

Don't let this bitch fool you!

Your Majesty!

Don't let this bitch fool you! She betrayed you!

I saw it with my own eyes! She was screwing a monster!

And that... thing slaughtered every guard I brought with me.

Your Majesty, you wondered why I changed.

Because Vivian sent her guards into the woods to murder me.

I only barely escaped to come back to you.

Please save me.

If there really was a monster out there slaughtering guards, how did you escape

without a scratch?

I...

You sent those guards to kill me and steal the sacred fruit for yourself,

didn't you?

I sent them to watch you.

For the king.

Vivian, since when do you command my guards without my order?

Perfectly normal, Arthur. Every woman wants the crown.

Though, a mistress bastard won't see a single coin from the Pope. Your whore

isn't just greedy, she's stupid.

Your Majesty.

I swear there was a monster.

A giant serpent?

You almost had me, you crazy little bitch. No serpent god has appeared in

centuries, and even if there was, it wouldn't be here.

No, I'm not lying, your majesty, please. I saw it with my own eyes.

Enough! You tried to kill the queen, steal the sacred fruit, and now you fed

me a tale no child would believe?

Guards! Get this stupid bitch out of my sight. Your majesty!

Drag this lunatic out of my sight, now!

I'll miss you, beauty.

My queen, you did well today. You found the sacred fruit.

But this sudden obedience of yours... How do I know you aren't just putting on

an act to save your own skin?

Don't you like it, your majesty?

I've simply realized who truly has the power to protect me.

Good. Then prove it to me tonight at the Victory Masquerade.

I do wonder how the Queen plans to prove herself.

I will strip off my royal gown, put on a mask, and join His Majesty's masquerade.

Perfect. But if you try to cross me again, I'll hang you and your entire

family from the gallows.

And remember, Your Majesty, you come alone.

Sure. It would be my honor, sir.

Go on in, your majesty. The king is waiting for you.

What the hell is this place?

Easy. I'm right here.

Listen. That ring holds my venom.

Once you prick Arthur with it, get out of there.

The venom is enough to keep that bastard unconscious for days.

I'll stay behind as your maid to find the vault entrance, and we'll go in

together.

Understood.

The appetizer is all yours, William.

I'm going for the main rish.

Arthur, isn't tonight supposed to be your victory banquet?

Why leave your guests behind to bring me here?

This isn't right. My sweet little bird.

Did you really think I'd believed a single word you said?

That you'd open your legs and give me an air?

Your Majesty, I don't understand.

It's a masquerade night, isn't it? Why don't we start by getting to know each

other?

Oh, I know plenty about you already, my queen.

I had this little mascapice made just for you.

Every strap fitted to your measurements.

Trust me, you'll enjoy every second.

Perhaps we could start with something gentler, Your Majesty.

One prick.

Get the venom into Arthur, and everything can still go as planned.

I know your game, Helena.

You're planning to run away with that monster in the temple, aren't you?

Keep dreaming.

Arthur, what are you saying? What do you know?

I know you've been fucking the monster in that temple, bitch.

That stupid whore Vivian couldn't have made up a story like that. You betrayed

me.

So you knew it all along. This whole thing was a trap. What are you going to

do to Serafina?

You better start worrying about yourself first, bitch.

Get off me, you sick freak!

You bitch!

You dare hit your king?

Let me go!

Monster! Did you really think wearing human skin would hide the fact that

you're a beast?

Arthur knows everything about the sick little affair between you and that bitch

Helena. You're all dead!

Lady Vivian, I'm just the Queen's maid. I have no idea what monster you are

talking about.

You almost got me killed and you still have the nerve to lie?

Let's see how long you can keep up the act.

Fire! Shoot her! You're dead tonight, monster!

You think you can stop me?

The arrows are useless!

Don't kill me!

Please!

Stay back!

It was the king's order, not me!

Please! I'll do anything!

Where is Helena?

Where is Helena?

Talk, or I'll swallow you alive.

The end of the hall!

In the king's private collection room!

Beg me, Helenin.

The sacred fruit is burning through you by now. I know you want my touch.

Beg, and I'll give you what you want.

Coward. The only way you can ever take a woman is with drugs and power.

You're a pathetic, useless man, Arthur. You don't deserve to be king!

Shut up! Shut your fucking mouth!

I'm done waiting.

Let's see how you like my masterpiece.

You monster!

How the hell did you get in here?

Where are the gods I sent for you? You pathetic fool. You do not have the right

to question me.

Stop! Stop!

My precious collection!

Look at me, worm.

Enjoy yourself, you sick bastard.

Serafina, I'm burning up. Please, help me. I never should have let you go in

alone. Shh, I've got you now.

I want you, Serafina.

Shh.

Are you awake right now?

Take me completely.

Make me forget what he did.

What the hell are you doing? Your Majesty, snap out of it. You're under an

illusion. The monster and Helena are inside.

Seize those bitches.

Serafina!

Shh.

I won't let anyone ruin this.

Serafina!

There's something here

What

what is this My

old weapon the source of the serpent kins power So this is where they've been

hiding it

Force it!

Maybe this is what the key is for.

Here, use it.

Great moon goddess, I was

separated from my kin by the lies of humans, and for centuries I have

suffered for my pride.

I beg you, return my power to me, so I may guide my beloved Helena out of this

filthy prison.

It's all over.

The seal is breaking.

Once that monster has her power back, no one will be able to stop her.

Your Majesty, if we can't get in, then we force them out.

We still hold that bitch's family, remember?

String them up in the courtyard and whip them.

Helena will come crawling back to beg for their lives.

Guards! Take the entire Spencer family and hang them in the royal courtyard.

The main entrance to the vault is right there. I want that bitch Helena to watch

her family suffer for her sins.

My power, it's finally back.

Helena, from this moment on, no one will ever lay a hand on you.

Only the blade in a mortal's heart, only the blood of the beloved can set the

serpent god free.

So, the price of Seraphina's freedom is my life?

Helena, what is it? What did you see?

Didn't expect this to be so easy. Let's go. All right. Once we save your mother

and sister, we are leaving this wretched country, and we are never coming back.

Wait. Is that my mother and Alice?

Are they crying?

Help! Help me, Helena!

I don't want to die!

Helena, keep hiding down there like a rat, and we'll serve your mother and

sister to His Majesty for dinner.

You're finally here, my daughter.

My sweet child.

Are you truly going to watch your own family die?

I am begging you.

Apologize to his majesty.

You're the one destroying this family.

If you hadn't sold me a weft to be his queen, my mother and sister would be

safe right now.

It's my fault. All my fault. I never should have forced you to marry the

king. But Alice...

Alice is only 18 years old! She's innocent!

Helena, don't give in again.

Enough, Charles.

You're no father of mine.

Listen carefully, Arthur. I am done being your victim. The Serpent Goddess

stands with me and your life is in my hands. Release my mother and sister and

we'll walk away.

No one has to die.

And why the hell would I believe the word of a traitor?

I promise you.

Serafina and I will leave this country, and you will never see us again.

You're too soft, Helena.

If I were you, I wouldn't give a damn about those ants.

But you do, and that's what's going to kill you.

Do it, Charles.

Your Majesty, don't forget the reward you promised me.

Protect yourself Thank

you my

child Save it. I only did this for Helena Drop the net lock her

down

Elena is still out there.

Your Majesty, I told you. Any fool who exposes her weakness is easily broken.

Even a mighty serpent god.

Well done, Charles.

You'd murder your own wife and daughter just to earn a scrap from the king?

Do you even call yourself a man? A father?

You disgust me, Charles.

I taught you better than this, my sweet daughter. You should have thrown away

that useless conscience a long time ago.

Power and gold are the only things that matter in this world.

I'm so sorry, Seraphina.

This is all my fault.

How touching, my queen.

And here I thought you'd fallen for some arrogant, untouchable goddess.

Yet she's nothing but a beast waiting for the slaughter.

Threaten me now, you hideous monster.

Let's see if you can still threaten me now, you hideous monster.

I'm fine, Helena.

Just save yourself.

What? You think you can bargain for that monster's life?

I yield your majesty.

Arrest Seraphina. Punish me as you see fit.

I only beg you to spare our lives.

You foolish girl.

I told you to submit and abandon your pathetic pride.

Since you've finally come to your senses, I'll show you a bit of grace.

Bring the weapon forward.

You whore! You dare try to assassinate me?

off too easy!

I return your freedom to you, my goddess.

Now you can finally go home.

Helena!

Helena!

Don't close your eyes!

Stay with me!

No! Don't kill me! I'm her father! The king forced me!

You never deserved to be her father.

Stop! Someone!

Anyone! Stop this monster!

Look at her!

She was the only one willing to spare your miserable life.

The weakness you mocked is the only reason you're still alive.

No, please don't! I am the king!

You can't kill me!

Kill you?

That's too merciful.

This venom will rot in your veins.

It will paralyze you. You won't be able to live.

and you won't be able to die. I want you to feel every single bone in your body

rot for the rest of your pathetic life.

It hurts! Make it stop!

My face! My face is ruined!

Knights of Oswald, hear my command!

Form up!

Slaughter this beast!

I'm going to make every last one of them burn with you, Helena.

In the name of the Serpent God, I, Seraphina Windsor... I

burn my blood.

to awaken the venom of the abyss.

This kingdom dies tonight, and every last one of you will bleed for the one I

love.

away.

You'll die too!

Helena, a world without you is just another cage.

We promised we live as one and we die as one.

Don't cry.

I'm here.

I'm right here.

But how?

The prophecy said the blade had to pierce a human's heart to set you free.

But it never said you had to die. I think.

The moon goddess herself is giving us both another life.

A miracle.

It's a true miracle.

How can we ever fight against a goddess?

I am your king! I am!

I was chained in the endless dark.

It was you, Helena Spencer, my queen who set my soul free.

Will you allow me to bow to you for all of eternity?

I don't want you to bow to me, Seraphina.

We are going to stand side by side at the very top of this empire.

You filthy whore!

You betrayed the crown to lay with a monster!

You're nothing but a cursed witch!

The royal house will never bow to a demon!

Arthur is a dying man.

From this moment on, I rule this kingdom.

Caroline, in the name of the new queen, I strip you of all titles and wealth.

You are banished to the northern wales. If you ever step foot on my empire's

land again, you die.

You can't do this to me! Let me go! I'm the queen! Yes, the king is dead, so I'm

the queen!

It's over, Mother.

Alice, no one will ever hurt you again.

Your Majesty, this crown belongs to you now.

This empire no longer needs a filthy crown built on stolen power.

From this day on, the Serpent Kin will take back every honor they were denied.

Majesty the Queen, all glory to the great serpent goddess!

May their reign shine forever over this kingdom!

From this moment on, no one in this world will ever make you bow to the new

world we built together, my queen.

This power belongs to us both. To us, Seraphina, and to our forever.
