Willingly at Your Mercy - Episode 3

During a chaotic search of a residence, soldiers disturb the Commander of Belra, Phil Dunne, and are brusquely sent away after an apology. Left alone, a brief, tense exchange turns personal: someone asks if the young woman is legal. She reveals she turns eighteen today and explains her family's rule that sleeping together means marriage. The scene ends with a firm promise—"Tomorrow, I'll come in person to ask for you"—shifting the moment from intrusion to a formal claim. Tomorrow's in-person request hangs over both parties, forcing an immediate, unresolved choice.
