:35:00
Yes, let us go. I've spoken to my aunt already.
:35:02
My father's gone
to the king's house and is waiting.
:35:11
Seems that all my life I've waited for just
this day. At last you're going to be my wife.
:35:15
- The wife of a real Spartan soldier.
- Just wait till I come back.
:35:19
I'll bring ten Persian slave girls
to wait on you hand and foot.
:35:23
Bring just one and you'll be a dead Spartan.
:35:31
Now, as soon as the council
proclaims a state of war,
:35:34
the whole army will come under my orders.
:35:38
While King Leotychidis,
:35:41
in accordance with the law,
will remain at home.
:35:44
Pentheus, son of Salas,
will be my second in command.
:35:49
I thank you for honouring me.
:35:52
- May I put forward a personal request?
- Of course, Pentheus.
:35:55
My daughter Ellas
is waiting outside with Phylon.
:35:58
He asks permission to speak to you
about a matter concerning both our families.
:36:05
Let them come in.
:36:20
Speak, Phylon.
:36:22
Sir, I've come to ask your permission
to marry Ellas, daughter of Pentheus.
:36:26
Her father's granted his consent but, since my
father's away on family business in Thrace,
:36:31
I beg you to act in his stead.
:36:34
- When did you last hear from your father?
- Not since he left Sparta.
:36:38
He was supposed to return way before now.
:36:41
Have you any idea
what might have caused this delay?
:36:45
No, sir.
:36:47
Is there anything wrong?
:36:50
Agathon believes so.
:36:53
While I was being tortured by the Persians,
I saw your father in the enemy camp.
:36:58
- No. Not my father.
- He was there with ex-king Demaratus.
