- Let me take your place.
- Step aside!

6

Whatever he's done, Abrecan
won't harm her.

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,040

from Abrecan, Bregan's Thane.

you'll relinquish your claim

I would never do that to my son.

who laid the false blame on the Varni

15

I who moved against you.

Has Rheda sent word to our allies?

Yes.

They'll not be here in time, though.

188
00:15:23,355 --> 00:15:25,955
We might be able to hold them
off for at least a day.

189
00:15:25,995 --> 00:15:28,715
That might be just enough
time for them to get here.

190
00:15:29,595 --> 00:15:33,995
Come on, Gil. The Huskarla's
job is to protect Herot.

You tell Lila about this?

- She'd only worry.
- You don't think she'd have a point?
