00:00They told me to seduce him, destroy him, but they never warned me I'd fall in love with the man
00:06I was sent to kill.
00:07Dear enemy king, I wrote my first letter to you three months after I arrived at your court.
00:13Three months of pretending, three months of lies.
00:17I knew there was a spy in my castle.
00:20My advisors warned me, but when she walked into my throne room wearing that midnight blue gown,
00:28I forgot how to breathe.
00:31You asked my name. I told you Elara from the northern provinces.
00:35Another lie. My real name died the day my kingdom chose me for this mission.
00:41Elara. I repeated it like a prayer, like it could save me from the war that was coming.
00:47Now I stand in your chambers, a dagger hidden in my sleeve, and you're reading something.
00:52You don't know I'm here yet.
00:54I found them yesterday, hidden behind a loose stone in the guest wing.
01:00Letters, dozens of them, all addressed to me.
01:05No, no, no, no.
01:07Dear enemy king, letter 17, you taught me to dance tonight.
01:12Your hand on my waist felt like home, and I hate myself for it.
01:16She moves like water, speaks like poetry, and when she smiles, truly smiles, not the practiced one,
01:27I see something broken behind her eyes.
01:31I wrote,
01:32You're not the monster they said you were.
01:35You're kind to your servants.
01:37You feed stray cats in the garden.
01:40You cry when you think no one's watching.
01:42Last week, I almost kissed her.
01:46We were in the library.
01:48She was reaching for a book, and her hair smelled like jasmine and secrets.
01:54Letter 23.
01:56I'm supposed to poison your wine tomorrow.
01:58I've rewritten my report five times, inventing excuses for why I haven't completed my mission.
02:04Turn around, Ilara.
02:07Or should I call you by your real name?
02:11Seraphim of Ashenfell.
02:14Daughter of my enemy.
02:16You... you knew?
02:18Letter 41.
02:20You wrote,
02:21I memorized the guard rotations.
02:25I know which servants can be bribed.
02:28I know your kingdom's weaknesses.
02:31You signed it.
02:33You're undoing.
02:35Those letters were never meant...
02:37To be read?
02:39I know.
02:40But you dropped one.
02:42Three weeks ago, in the Rose Garden.
02:46Then why am I still alive?
02:48Because I read Letter 67.
02:51The one where you wrote about how you dream of running away.
02:55How you wake up crying because you know you're falling in love with someone you're meant to destroy.
03:01Stop.
03:02Letter 72.
03:04I would rather die than hurt him.
03:07Letter 85.
03:08Tonight, I burned my mission orders.
03:11You should hate me.
03:13I do.
03:14And I love you.
03:16Both truths exist in the same breath.
03:19So, I have something to show you.
03:22What is it?
03:23Letters.
03:24My letters.
03:26The ones I wrote to you every night.
03:28Dear, beautiful spy.
03:30I knew what you were from the beginning.
03:32And I fell in love.
03:34Anyway.
03:36That's...
03:36Impossible.
03:38We're both fools, Seraphine.
03:40Two people writing confessions in the dark.
03:43Too afraid to speak them aloud.
03:46But here's the difference between us.
03:50I'm sending mine now.
03:52What happens to us?
03:54I don't know.
03:56But maybe...
03:57Maybe we write the ending together this time.
04:01Dear enemy.
04:03Dear love.
04:04Dear impossible.
04:07Dream.
04:07Dream.
