Reprieved Heart - Episode 5

Cassian, a commander, threatens a man by demanding a guarantee for a valuable dragon egg entrusted to him, warning that failure means a deadly match with lions. When he visits the dragon grounds, he discovers the caretaker is the Queen, and tensions rise as he questions her qualifications and a woman present defends her. The Queen requests funding for the egg's care, which Cassian initially denies until the woman pressures him by comparing his lack of patience to someone named Lucius. He reluctantly approves the funding, leaving the underlying animosity unresolved.
