00:00After the feast, Alaric began to busy himself.
00:02He found every memory from our past lives.
00:05My favorite flowers, my secret hiding spots,
00:08every word I've waited a lifetime to hear.
00:11He treated me like a friend, as if he had practiced for years.
00:14That same day, a heavy mating contract was placed at my door.
00:18I accept you as my life partner.
00:20In this life and the next, I will protect you.
00:23Neither life nor death shall part us.
00:26The handwriting was bold and firm, without any hesitation.
00:30Two weddings were set for the exact same morning.
00:33The night before, Elowen barged into my room uninvited.
00:36Her maid threw a ragged gray shawl at my feet.
00:39It was the clothes of the lowest slave, a symbol of submission.
00:43She leaned in.
00:44You blind monster Vesper.
00:46No mermaid will ever truly accept you.
00:49Killen and I are being kind by letting you stay as a maid.
00:51But on the wedding day, you aren't fit for a carriage.
00:54You will walk on foot behind the procession.
00:56As a servant, don't even dream of embarrassing us.
