A wedding with a hidden agenda
The old king takes a new bride. She is 22, the same age as his son. On the wedding night she does not go to the king’s room; she comes to the son’s room instead. As he unlaces her dress, he sees the enemy’s mark burned into her shoulder. His father’s new queen is a spy, and the son now holds a secret that could bring down his father’s court.
The spy twist gives the romance a political edge.
What the free episode 1 shows
Episode 1 lasts 52 seconds. In the first 19 seconds the new queen sits on a throne in a red embroidered gown while the king and his guests watch and a dark-haired man looks down. Around 0:19, in a candle-lit chamber by a fireplace, she stands in a draped grey-green gown holding a small vessel, with the dark-haired man close by. From about 0:26 to 0:46 oil is spread over her shoulder and back as he stands behind her; the gown is down and only a thin metallic strap shows. This massage, seen from behind, is the most revealing moment. In the last six seconds, from about 0:46, she turns to camera in ornamental metal armour cut like a bra and briefs.
