Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.28,0:02:38.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what’s actually interesting about this\Nbug is that he is wielding some kind of scissor

Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.62,0:03:54.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the fact that there is Lifeblood in this\Nkingdom could imply that there are more than

Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.100,0:04:31.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Given the fact that the Pale King outlawed\NLifeblood and that Hornet injects Lifeblood
