:08:00
The answer is very simple.
:08:02
Your father executed my sister for witchcraft
when she was only 18 years old.
:08:07
I have waited
until your daughter reached that age...
:08:10
so that my dragon could relish
the flesh of the Princess.
:08:15
- Lodac, I beseech you.
- Beseech nothing, my liege.
:08:19
Will you have this worm-eaten sorcerer
frighten us?
:08:22
- Be careful, Branton.
- Not I.
:08:25
Lodac, I shall find your castle,
free the Princess, and see you destroyed.
:08:31
Finding my castle is no great task.
It's a short journey of about a week.
:08:35
You simply follow
the yellow star of the north.
:08:38
The trick is, how to get there alive?
:08:43
I shall.
:08:44
I'm afraid not.
:08:49
Now seven times do I curse the road
that lies between this castle and mine.
:08:55
Let no one live who dares the Dark Journey.
:09:01
Let no man face my seven curses
and reach the dragon's lair.
:09:09
Your curses won't stop me
from reaching your castle.
:09:13
The Princess Helene
will make a delicate dish for my dragon...
:09:17
in exactly seven days' time.
:09:20
And now, if you will excuse me.
:09:35
Sir Branton, my daughter will die.
:09:38
No, sire, for I will rescue her.
:09:41
You'll risk the seven curses?
:09:43
For Helene, I'd risk 70.
:09:45
The man who saves Helene will have her
hand in marriage, and half my kingdom, too.
:09:50
Trust me, sire.
:09:53
No, it is I who must save the Princess,
not Sir Branton. I love her.
:09:57
Do you think
I'd let you face Lodac's sorcery?
