Skammerens Datter II: Slangens Gave Page #3

---

How do you do that?

I simply do it.

I would like to see more.

- I feel like...

-You have nothing to be ashamed of

You don't think so?

You are yourself. It doesn't

matter who your father is.

- Will you help me?

- With what?

I need to find a pharmacist.

A lady called Mrs. Petri.

She is the only one who can

help me find my mother.

First you have to look different.

Look.

No...

- I still look like myself.

- You look like a child.

- Then I'm a weird kid.

- No one will recognize you.

There you see?

Now we just need to find Mrs. Petri.

Come closer!

Come and see the dragon!

Just come nearer! Come and see!

Come.

- Can you see it?

- See what?

The dragon. They lure it out,

so they can chain it up for tomorrow.

- What happens tomorrow?

- Prince Drakans coronation.

And the execution of a witch.

- What kind of witch?

- She wanted Nicodemus acquitted.

She has been convicted of treason. She

will be thrown to the dragons in the morning.

Move on.

Come, Dina.

- Run, Dina!

- Rosa, wait!

- Stop!

- No, this way!

- This way!

- Stop him!

Why did you run?

Let me go!

- You stay here.

- Let me go! Let me go!

Out with it.

What have you stolen?

- There's something strange about him here.

- What has the little chicken done?

- He ran when we called him.

- Get up, boy.

Quit a catch you have there,

Esmer. He looks dangerous.

Give him the belt and let him go.

Here.

Lord, Give me my belt?

His hands are too soft.

This has never been a boy's hand.

- Look at me.

- Let go of me.

Look at me!

Is that how you treat people

that are weaker than you?

Will you now also throw

me to the dragons?

I see you. I see you.

Who are you helping?

Aren't you ashamed?

- You're the shamer's daughter.

- Come on! It's a witch!

Stop!

Take her away.

Rosa, help! Let me go!

Sorry.

Rosa! Let me go!

- Leave me alone! Let me go!

- Dina?

Help!

- Lie still.

- Let me go!

Dina!

- Mother!

- Dina!

Mamma!

Yes, Come closer.

What do you think?

- Is this worthy of the prince's coronation?

- Yes, certainly.

- Can we talk alone?

- Leave us alone.

With all due respect -

- I must express my concern

over Lord Drakan's decision.

We cannot publicly offer the

shamer's daughter to the dragons.

Of course I can. She shall die,

and the dragons will be happy.

- What do you have in mind Master at Arms?

- She must die, but not in that way.

It creates uneasiness. People do not

like to see a child being killed.

The dragons have earned her.

Why draw unnecessary attention

when you can do the job quietly?

The Master at Arms is right.

We must have the people with us, Drakan.

Can you do it yourself Weapons Master?

I could do it tonight

and let the people believe -

That the Prince has banished her.

Then he will also appear gracious.

Gracious?

Drakan the Merciful.

A noble thought, dear Master at Arms.

But I have not overturned Dunark

to capture the young shamer -

- just to let her wander around

as an outlaw. She must die.

It would appear to the people

that she is freed.

And there is no more freedom

than to fly beyond Dunark rock?

A fitting end for a witch.

I cut her throat and it's done.

Get it done.

Be quiet, be quiet.

Come on.

Leave and do not come back.

Wait. What about my mother?

- Drakan will kill my mother.

- We cannot do anything about it.

You can save yourself, Dina.

Away with you both.

I'm not running without my mother.

- Escape! Drakan will kill you.

- Not if you help us.

- I cannot help you.

- You want justice.

- You will not live under Drakan.

- The prince is dead.

Nicodemus, Adela and small Bian are dead.

The future belongs to the Drakan.

My mother is innocent, just like them.

And you know it. You know,

it is your duty to help us.

- You have no choice.

- Why not?

Because you well know,

what is right and wrong.

I've seen it.

I see you right now.

You have killed many in battle,

but without shame.

But you're ashamed now...

...about what Drakan did to the prince.

...Adela...

...Nico and small Bian.

You want to do the right thing.

Yes, damn it.

Do you know where the pharmacist's

house is?

Ms. Petri?

Quiet.

Off with you, girls.

Off. Hurry.

In with you.

What do you want?

Dina! Come in, come in.

- Who's the girl?

- My friend Rosa.

What are you doing here?

- We cannot stay out here.

- We can trust him, Mrs. Petri.

You will not come to any harm.

Nico!

No!

My lord Nicodemus, forgive me

I doubted your innocence.

I pledge allegiance to Ravens house,

and I swear on my life -

That I will defeat Drakan.

Get up.

Stand up.

My lord.

- I thought you were dead.

- Likewise.

But you fell in the sea with the house.

It was better if you thought

I was gone. I was outside.

Nico!

- Outside?

- And underneath.

I have only two men I know are

faithful to House Ravens.

- The rest we cannot count on.

- So we should not go out and fight.

The most important thing to free

Dina's mother.

No one is free until Drakan

is dead and the throne is yours.

The people must see your innocence,

and Drakan must be exposed.

It's a noble intention -

- but we only have justice on

our side. Drakan has an entire army.

As long as Drakan thinks

Dina and Nico are dead -

- And the shame near death,

we have an advantage.

If we can get Dina close to Drakan, -

- You might do to him

what you did to me.

I do not know if I can.

Then people will see his guilt,

and your mother will be set free.

You are our only chance, Dina.

- I would also like to help.

- Can you look into my eyes?

No, but I have a knife.

You have a knife.

I'll send a message to your

siblings at home. Good night.

- Look at me.

- What?

Look at me. So I know that I dare.

Are you ready to

rise from the dead?

She's going in the basement.

- I'll take her down there.

- I'll do it myself.

What now? What has she...?

Where were you? I thought

you would miss everything.

We have not come to see an

innocent being killed.

We have come to prevent it.

It's time to choose sides.

We serve Prince Drakan.

unfortunately, it rained.

Long live Prince Drakan!

My beloved people.

You've lost a prince -

And I have lost my father.

But today I give you justice!

The witch...

...standing in collusion with the

murderer Nicodemus Ravens, will die.

As of today...

comes a new hope for Dunark, -

And the beginning of Drakan's time.

I offer you the shamer witch!

The witch will die!

The witch will die!

Drakan is a murderer!

Drakan is a murderer!

It is Drakan who is the culprit!

- Do you deny it?

- Stop! Who dares?

I am the shamer's daughter!

Drakan killed them all together,

and dare not even look me into my eyes.

Let him come down so that I

can look him in the eye.

He would kill my mother...

...just like he killed

House Ravens

- Drakan is a murderer!

- He does not dare look into her eyes!

Come down from there!

- Look at me instead!

- You, you little louse!

What is it you think you can do?

Get me to collapse in shame?
