Reborn as the Sleeping Dragon's Bride EPS englishsub fullmovie
Transcript
00:01I was born with a blood scent that could make dragon lords lose control.
00:04Pure breeding blood, the rarest kind in 300 years.
00:08At my mating ceremony, I crawled past the sacred gold offerings
00:12and grabbed Crown Prince Caelan between his pants.
00:15This little whore could be a clingy breeder in the future.
00:21He was wrong. Caelan and I became enemies.
00:24For ten years, I watched his dragon eyes learn to hate my scent.
00:27On my 18th birthday feast, the king called me before the throne.
00:31Freya, choose any dragon lord in Valeria. I will grant him to you.
00:36Before I could answer, Caelan's voice cut across the hall.
00:39I would rather be torn apart by wild dragon knees than mate her.
00:44Something inside me broke. Good. Then make him choke on it.
00:47Then I will leave his fate to the gods. Pay for the price, Crown Prince Caelan.
00:51I thought he didn't mean it. Our betrothal ceremony was beautiful, but Caelan never gave me a glance.
00:58Your scent makes me sick.
01:00Years passed. I gave him no air. The court stopped bowing.
01:04Dragonborn ladies spat in my food, ripped my gowns and called me a barren human leech.
01:10Caelan only smiled. Then I heard him say it.
01:12She forced this marriage. She deserves karma. No one should pity her.
01:17One week later, he threw me into the velvet quarter.
01:21A useless breeder belongs in a pleasure house.
01:24I died there, bloody and left like rotten meat. His figure was the last thing I saw. He never looked
01:30back.
01:30Then lights split open. I woke on cold marble, gasping. I was reborn at my mating ceremony.
01:37Freya. Choose any dragon lord in Valeria. I will grant him to you.
01:42The royal citadel. The feast. I would not risk my life on Caelan again. I took a deep breath.
01:47Your majesty. I respect the crown prince as someone I grew up with. Like a brother.
01:53I never wanted him. Not as a man. Not as a husband.
01:58My heart only belongs to dragon crook Lufician Dranmore. If I couldn't marry him, I'd go finish myself.
02:03The court exploded. I had refused Valeria's golden prince and chosen his uncle.
02:08The cursed black silver dragon. The most fierce dragon who destroyed wild dragonkins for 200 years.
02:20Lucian Dranmore fell coma since a year ago on the northern war front.
02:24Hurt by an unseen blade with curse, the healers said he would never wake. I knew they were wrong.
02:30In my last life, Lucian woke during my third year in hellish marriage.
02:34When dragonborn ladies had cornered me in the kitchens, they laughed, tore my sleeves, and called me a barren human
02:40leech.
02:41Then a broken dragon rose from his wheeled chair. Lucian Dranmore stood between us. Half crippled, but still terrifying. Back
02:49to now.
02:50Little one. Marrying Lucian would waste your gift. Choose another lord. Someone who can speak to you.
02:55I kept my forehead against the marble floor. Your majesty, I swore before the old gods. It is Lucian Dranmore
03:01or no one.
03:02I hit my forehead on the floor. Once and once again. The court went quiet. Only left the sound of
03:08my bones crack.
03:09Queen Marianne smiled like she had been handed a gift.
03:12If the human girl wants a sleeping dragon, let her have him.
03:16So be it. Your bloodline is gone. Lucian cannot answer for himself. My queen will arrange the wedding for you
03:23too.
03:23I rose my bloody forehead and crumbling stood up. I am humbled beyond speech.
03:29I did not look at Caelan. I only felt his gold fire burning behind me. Let him burn. I would
03:35never choose him again.
03:36Lucian is way better than Caelan. Last life, though he's still weak, he's nice to me. I'll save him this
03:41time.
03:42We'll claw our way out of this shithole. Together.
03:44For three days, I slept like someone freed from a cage.
03:49Then came the knock at Ashbourne Hall.
03:52The queen commands your presence at the royal citadel tonight.
03:55My blood went cold.
03:57At dusk, Madame Corvin led me through the royal corridors.
04:01Dragonflowers scented the stone. Then she stopped and bowed.
04:05Your Highness, Crown Prince.
04:07I lifted my head. It's Caelan.
04:20Caelan stepped into the lamplight. He looked exactly like a future king. Proud and untouchable. Beautiful in the cruel Velorean
04:27way.
04:28Your Highness.
04:29He looked me over from crown to shoes, as if searching for the girl who used to chase him through
04:33these halls.
04:33That's all?
04:34In my last life, I knew his every habit. I baked honey cakes for him. I waited outside Crown Tower
04:39just to hand them over.
04:40He always tossed them to the palace drakes.
04:43Stop this pathetic chase, Freya. You are marrying my uncle now. Try to have some dignity.
04:49You disgust me.
04:50I am not chasing anyone. I was only telling the truth to your king father. I do not love you.
04:56Then you wandered into the royal family's private wing by accident?
04:58The queen summoned me. Ask Madame Corvin.
05:01His gold fire flared. So it was true. I had not come for him.
05:05My uncle is a corpse with a title. You may be a widow before your wedding bed even cools.
05:11Then I will be the happiest widow in Veloria.
05:14His pupils narrowed, then went black.
05:30Queen Marianne heard me out in silence. And before I had even finished my audience with her, my wedding to
05:37Lucien Dravenmore was set for one week later.
05:40Dravenmore's black silver banners stretched across the road as Gareth Thorne bowed before me.
05:45Lady Ashborough, Derrenmore receives you with honor.
05:48In my last life, Crown Tower never gave me this much respect. Some nobles called it widowhood with a title.
05:54I ignored them.
05:55Dravenmore had already given me more honor than Crown Tower ever did.
05:58When I reached Dravenmore keep, Gareth Thorne led me straight to the bridal chamber.
06:03Lucien Dravenmore lay on the bed, pale and silent. But even unconscious, he did not look weak.
06:08His sharp features, silver black hair and quiet dragon pressure made him seem less like a dying man and more
06:14like a sleeping dragon.
06:15My lady, I prepared another room for you.
06:16I looked at Lucien, my heart steady despite the tension.
06:19No. He is my husband now. I'll stay here.
06:23The room went silent. After they left, I sat beside him. The air itself seemed to hold its breath.
06:29I leaned closer, feeling the subtle warmth of his body beneath the thin sheets.
06:33You're asleep anyway, so this doesn't count.
06:35I lowered my head and kissed him. His lips were warm. For a heartbeat, nothing happened. Then the air broke
06:41open.
06:41Dark pressure slammed through the room. Black silver scales erupted along his neck.
06:46Windows cracked. His hands shot up and caught my throat. Not gentle, not soft.
06:50Dragon fire exploded from his body, scorching the ceiling and bed frame.
06:54I gasped, gripping his wrist.
06:57His fingers burned against my skin, yet he didn't push me away.
07:14Queen Marianne heard me out inside. His eyes were still closed, but his grip was tightening. Black silver flame tore
07:23across the ceiling. The bed frame split. I grabbed his wrist.
07:28It's me. It's Freya.
07:30His fingers burned against my skin. Then the fire pulled back. His hand dropped. The room went dark. Outside, Dravenmore
07:37keep erupted. Shouts, running boots. Dragon flame lighting up the sky. Gareth broke through the door.
07:43My lady.
07:44I touched my neck. It was bruised.
07:46Lucien lay still again, but his breathing had changed. Deeper. Stronger.
07:50The curse had cracked, but whatever was underneath was not gentle. I didn't know if I had started to wake
07:55him up, or started something worse.
07:57By dawn, healers filled the hall. Gareth locked down the entire floor.
08:11No one tells the Royal Citadel what happened last night. The mate Flyam responded to the marriage bond. That's all
08:17anyone needs to know.
08:18The bruise on my neck was already dark. A healer offered to treat it.
08:22Leave it.
08:22I went back to Lucien's room. He was still. But the black silver scales on his hand had not faded.
08:28His dragon blood was fighting something. The curse. The medicine. Maybe both. I sat beside him.
08:33I don't know if you can hear me, but I'm not leaving.
08:37His fingers moved. Barely.
08:39The news reached Crown Tower before noon. Kaelin was sparring when a servant ran in.
08:43Your highness, Dravenmore's mate Flame answered Freya last night.
08:47Kaelin stopped mid-swing.
08:48The whole northern sky lit up.
08:51Gold fire burst from Kaelin's palm. The training post shattered. He thought the wedding would humiliate me. Instead, all of
08:58Royal Citadel was talking about how Dravenmore's dragon blood had chosen a human bride.
09:03Princess Anya walked in.
09:04So it's true.
09:05She looked at the burned post.
09:07They say Freya looked more like a duchess than a widow.
09:10Careful, Kaelin. People might think you're the one who got left behind.
09:16That afternoon, Kaelin called his steward.
09:18The Ashborough war records we archived move them to the sealed vault and send a message to the Royal Pharmacy.
09:23Any requests from Dravenmore go through my office first.
09:50away from Tooth Post.
09:51I think she'sremcast now.
09:51The story.
09:51In Euphor.
09:52Yes.
10:08Thank you very soon.
10:08I think that we okay.
10:08Is there a million years ago?
10:23I put on Dravenmoor black and silver and walked straight into the main hall.
10:27Selene's housekeeper stepped in front of me.
10:29Lady Selene is waiting in the west parlour.
10:31Then she can come here.
10:32The servants froze.
10:33Davenmoor keep is not Selene Vela Vassa's house, and I am not her guest.
10:37Gareth stood behind me.
10:38He said nothing.
10:39Every servant in the hall understood it.
10:41Gareth supported me as Lady Dravenmoor.
10:43Bring me Lucian's healer records, medicine ledgers, and night watch lists now.
10:47Selene arrived with a soft smile.
10:48Freya, you were married yesterday.
10:50Leave the household matters to me.
10:52This isn't household business.
10:53This is my husband's life.
10:54Selene kept smiling, but her eyes didn't.
10:57By sunset, I found the first problem in the medicine logs.
10:59Some herbs were not healing Lucian.
11:01They were suppressing his dragon blood.
11:03He wasn't too weak to wake.
11:04Someone was keeping him asleep.
11:06I needed the source records.
11:07Where the herbs came from.
11:08Who ordered them?
11:09The trail pointed to the royal pharmacy.
11:11I sent a rider to request the purchase records.
11:14The rider came back empty-handed.
11:15Crown Tower denied the request.
11:17They said all pharmaceutical inquiries from Dravenmoor require approval from the Crown Prince's office.
11:21I understood.
11:21Selene's confidence didn't come from Dravenmoor.
11:24It came from Crown Tower.
11:25That night, Selene heard I had found the local records.
11:28For the first time, she stopped smiling.
11:30Send Rowan.
11:30Let my son teach her what happens to lonely wives in this house.
11:57Rowan Vos waited outside my chamber door.
12:00He smelled of wine.
12:01Lady Dravenmoor.
12:03I stopped.
12:03Come on.
12:04Your husband can't even open his eyes.
12:06Don't waste your youth on a sleeping man.
12:09He stepped closer.
12:10Selene runs this keep.
12:12I am her son.
12:13You are just the human bride they sent to warm Lucien's bed.
12:16Then I slapped him.
12:17Servants rushed over.
12:19No one dared speak.
12:20Rowan wiped blood from his lip.
12:21My mother will hear about this.
12:23Good.
12:24Tell Lady Selene I saved her the trouble.
12:27His face twisted.
12:28My mother!
12:28Your mother failed to raise you.
12:31That makes it my problem now.
12:33I turned to the hall.
12:34Freya.
12:34Gareth.
12:35Put him in the lower water cell.
12:37By morning, maybe he'll remember whose keep this is.
12:41The guards moved toward Rowan.
12:42That was when the whole keep understood.
12:44I was Lady Dravenmoor.
12:46Below the keep, Rowan shook in freezing water.
12:49My mother knows about Lucien's medicine.
12:51He looked up, shaking.
12:52She knows who kept him asleep.
12:53And Crown Tower knows she knows.
12:56She knows who kept him asleep.
13:25.
14:03At dawn, Gareth brought me Rowan's confession.
14:06He was drunk, but he said the medicine was switched, and he said Crown Tower was involved.
14:10I looked at Lucian. The black silver scales on his hand had faded, but his fingers were warmer than before.
14:15Bring me every medicine log from the last year, and find me a healer who doesn't answer to Salona or
14:20the Royal Pharmacy.
14:22By breakfast, the hall was full. Servants stood with their heads down.
14:26Salina sat at the high table, calm as ever.
14:28Freya, you locked my son in a water cell over drunken words. Now you want to accuse me too?
14:33I want records. Household records are not toys for a new bride.
14:38I placed the medicine book on the table.
14:40Then explain this.
14:41Her smile stopped.
14:42Lucian's dose changed three months ago. The healer's seal is missing. The delivery mark belongs to your steward.
14:48Gareth, step beside me.
14:49From today on, no one touches Lucian's food, wine, or medicine unless I see it first.
14:53You think you can run Darren Moore?
14:56No. I already am.
14:58A crash came from Lucian's chamber. We ran back. The medicine bowl had split in half.
15:03Black silver fire burned across the floor. Lucian's eyes were still closed, but his hand had crushed the bed rail.
15:08That evening, a sealed letter arrived from Crown Tower. Not a personal note. An official order with the royal stamp.
15:13Gareth read it aloud.
15:14By the authority of Crown Prince Kaelin, a royal medical delegation will be dispatched to Dragan Moore Keep to evaluate
15:20Duke Lucian's condition and review all medical arrangements currently in place.
15:23The room went quiet.
15:24When?
15:26Three days.
15:27I looked at the letter. If Kaelin's doctors walked in here, they would take over Lucian's treatment, reverse everything I
15:32had changed, put Selene's people back in charge, and I couldn't refuse. He was using his nephew's health as the
15:37excuse.
15:38Then we have three days.
16:08The room was running out of court.
16:27I'm going to practice Jurene's team.
16:27I'm going to practice Jurene's team.
16:27In the field of Kaelin, he was working on the field of Kaelin P.
16:27The news of Kaelin P.
16:27That said that she was in the field of Kaelin P.

19:43the servants and the whispers, but I can't fight your nephew and the crown at the same time. Not
19:48alone." His hand was warm. The scales pulsed. I need you to wake up. Silence. Then his fingers
19:53closed around mine. Freya. His dark gold eyes opened. Who came into my keep and thought he
19:58could question my wife for protecting me? Lucian sat up in bed. Black silver flame tore through
20:03the room. He looked at the bruise on my neck. Who did this? You. When your dragon blood broke
20:09through. He touched the bruise. Black silver light wrapped around my neck. It faded under his hand.
20:14Outside, every dragon torch in Dravenmore keep lit at once. The whole northern sky burned silver.
20:19In Crown Tower, a rider burst through the gate.
20:24Your highness, dragon Onmore's fire just lit the northern line. All of it.
20:27Caelan stood up. The duke is awake. Caelan's cup shattered in his hand.
21:07now I think I think hope you continue to improve the body of intervene with喝 thing.
21:09.
21:39.
22:09.
22:39.
23:09.
23:10.
23:22The Royal Medical Delegation arrived before noon.
23:25They expected a sleeping Duke.
23:26They found Lucian Dravenmore seated in the main hall.
23:29He leaned on a cane.
23:30His face was pale, but black-silver pressure filled the room so hard the candles bent sideways.
23:35The late physician swallowed.
23:37Your Grace, Crown Prince Caelan sent us to review your treatment.
23:40Lucian looked at him.
23:41My nephew sends doctors into my keep without asking me?
23:44No one answered.
23:45The Crown is concerned for your health.
23:48My wife kept me alive while your prince tried to take control of my be-medicine.
23:53From today on, Dravenmore's healers answer to me and Lady Davenmore, no one else.
23:56The delegation left before sunset.
23:59Selene watched from the upper hall, white-faced.
24:01That night, she sent a servant through the east gate with a sealed message.
24:04I watched him disappear into the dark road.
24:06I could stop him, but I didn't.
24:08I want to see who will answer.
24:09Later, Lucian found me by the chamber fire.
24:12How much did they make you carry alone?
24:14His jaw tightened.
24:17I'll start carrying it with you.
24:36Mallory never-cost Це ж Banул suspended
24:39and even.
24:56It's the end of the road you're looking for.
24:58I don't know.
25:00I thought this was my leader when things you don't really think.
25:00I think this was something I told I would be a doctor.
25:05I thought this was somebody thought my son like,
25:06.

25:40.
25:40.
25:40.
25:40.
25:41.
25:43.
26:05At dawn, Lucien ordered the ledgers sealed.
26:08Gareth brought iron boxes from Selene's office, tax books, supply lists, military payment rolls.
26:13By noon, the truth was on the table.
26:15Northern Rider pay was cut for eight months.
26:18Wintergrain was marked as delivered, but the storehouses never received it.
26:21He placed another page down.
26:23And this money went to the Gilded Den.
26:25Rowan's name was written beside the account.
26:27Selene gripped her sleeve.
26:28My husband died for this house.
26:31I raised my son here, I made sacrifices.
26:34Lucien looked at her.
26:34You sold my soldiers food and called it sacrifice?
26:38I protected Dravenmoor while you slept.
26:40No.
26:42You fed off it.
26:43The hall went silent.
26:45Rowan was dragged in, bruised and terrified.
26:48Mother, say something!
26:50Selene did not look at him.
26:51Lucien tapped the ledger.
26:53Rowan Vos goes to the dungeon until I decide his sentence.
26:56You can't do this to family!
26:57Family does not touch my wife, steal from my riders, or poison my house.
27:02The guards took him away.
27:05Selene Vox is removed from all household authority.
27:08She will remain under guard in the east wing.
27:10Then he turned to me.
27:12The accounts are yours now.
27:13Every servant in the hall dropped to one knee.
27:16For the first time, they were not kneeling because Lucien had woken.
27:20They were kneeling because I had won.
27:33Jack was like, don't overworked!
27:33Day 4, let's get away.

34:32The news reached Crown Tower by nightfall.
34:34Caelan read the report once, then gold fire burst from his hand.
34:38Half the desk burned before the guards could move.
34:40He threw out my delegation?
34:42The messenger shook.
34:43Yes, your highness. Lady Selina has been confined.
34:45Rowan Vos is in the dungeon.
34:47Caelan's eyes went gold.
34:48Freya did this.
34:50Lucien did this. Freya gave him the knife.
34:52Later, Queen Marion called House Marion into her private chamber.
34:56If Lucien speaks of the northern war front, every old wound opens.
35:00A lord leaned close.
35:01Then we strike first.
35:02At court.
35:03Accused him of hiding troops, ignoring royal summons and using illness to build power in the north.
35:07At the same time, Caelan went to King Alaric.
35:09Father, Uncle Lucien just woke from a curse.
35:12He should return to the royal citadel for treatment.
35:14You sound very concerned.
35:16Caelan's mouth tightened.
35:17He is family.
35:18Across the hall, Princess Anya heard enough.
35:20That night, she found Edric Ravenshade near the chapel.
35:22Your cousin is walking into a trap.
35:25Which cousin?
35:26The one Freya married.
35:28Try to keep up.
35:29Edric's face changed.
35:30Send word to Dravenmore.
35:32Tell Lady Dravenmore the Queen is moving first.
36:46Lucian could stand now, not long, not without pain.
36:49His dragon blood had broken the curse, but the damage stayed in his legs.
36:52Some nights, his fire turned wild. One burst split the bedpost. Another cracked the stone wall.
36:58I worked his legs every morning, mixed the new medicine myself.
37:01On the fourth night, the flame surged before I could move.
37:04The force threw me against the floor. My arm hit broken stone.
37:07Blood ran to my wrist. Lucian froze. The fire died at once.
37:11He tried to stand too fast and nearly fell.
37:13It's a scratch.
37:15I hurt you.
37:16The curse hurt me, not you.
37:19Do not make this sound easy.
37:20I wrapped cloth around my arm.
37:22I knew what I was choosing when I married you.
37:25He stared at me for a long second.
37:27You should not only be ready to suffer.
37:29His thumb brushed my bandage.
37:31You should be treated well.
37:32I stopped breathing.
37:33For the first time, he wasn't speaking as a duke.
37:35He was speaking as my husband.
37:51chain off.
37:58Prisoner zapadано to see rules, even sians.
37:59He was speaking specific here, almost of a dark 잡ass.
37:59To the next time, he came to the Vaseline Thiers.
37:59as Downloads or aammal location for him.
37:59Basically, there's aniscient decree
38:04You should not be treated well.
38:04terms of restarting theNico and transformation we want.
38:20.
38:50.
39:20.
39:50.
39:50.
39:50.
39:50.
39:50.
39:52.
39:52.
39:58.
40:02.
40:03.
40:14The summons arrive three days later.
40:16King Alaric's seal, royal parchment.
40:19No room to refuse.
40:21Gareth read it in the hall.
40:22Dragon Duke Lucian Dravenmore and Lady Freya Davenmore are commanded to attend the royal citadel.
40:27The servants looked at me.
40:29Lucian took the letter.
40:30So they finally want us in the open.
40:32It could be a trap.
40:34It is a trap.
40:35Then we should not go.
40:36If I refuse, they call it rebellion. If I go, they have to face me in front of the king.
40:40He looked at me.
40:41And I have things to show my brother.
40:43That night, I packed the evidence myself.
40:46Selene's ledgers.
40:47The medicine logs.
40:49The payment trail to the royal pharmacy.
40:51Every page that tied Dravenmore's sickness to crown tower and the royal citadel.
40:56Mira tied the case shut.
40:57Are you afraid?
40:58I looked at the royal seal.
41:00I died in that city once.
41:03Mira went quiet.
41:04I'm not going back as that girl.
41:08Before dawn, I found Lucian on the tower.
41:12Royal citadel was far beyond the dark hills.
41:15Kaelin will be there.
41:16So will the queen.
41:19And me.
41:20He offered his hand.
41:21I took it.
41:22This time, I was not walking into crown tower alone.
41:39We returned to the royal citadel under black silver banners.
41:43The streets went quiet first.
41:44Then everyone started whispering.
41:46Lucian Dravenmore was not dead.
41:47And I was not the ruined girl crown tower once threw away.
41:50Northern dragon riders rode on both sides of our carriage.
41:53Gareth led them with one hand on his sword.
41:55At the palace gate, Kaelin stood above the steps.
41:57He looked at Lucian's cane.
41:59Then he looked at me.
42:00I looked past him.
42:02That hurt him more.
42:03Queen Marianne held a welcome feast that night.
42:05Duke Lucian.
42:06Valeria is relieved to see you awake.
42:08Relieved enough to send a resuccan.
42:10Her smile tightened.
42:11The king missed his brother.
42:13Then we are happy to answer his majesty.
42:15We brought everything he needs to see.
42:16Her eyes moved to the locked case beside my chair.
42:18How thoughtful.
42:20After dinner, Princess Anya caught my sleeve near the corridor.
42:23Madame Corvik has been going to the royal archive every night.
42:26I stopped.
42:27Whatever you brought, she may be trying to burn the matching half.
42:31That night, Lucian closed our chamber door.
42:35Edric confirmed it.
42:36The original letter about your father's march is still sealed in the archive.
42:40Can we get it?
42:41Only the king can open that vault.
42:46Then we make him want to.
42:49Mr.
42:49He please.
43:07One, I knew his wife saw me on Twitter.
43:08Get here.
43:08Common wearyence.それ
43:12oh-
43:18.
44:05The Autumn Court filled the Royal Hall by sunrise. Dragon Lords, Human Nobles, Crown Loyalists. Lucian entered with a cane.
44:13The room still bowed. Black silver pressure rolled over the floor. Even House Marianne's men stopped smiling.
44:17Caelan sat in the Prince's seat, gold fire flickering under his skin. A Marianne Lord stepped forward first.
44:23Your Majesty, Duke Lucian has been absent from court for a year. His private Dragon Riders remain under Northern Command.
44:28Valeria needs a Royal Overseeher in Drevenmoor.
44:30The Hall stirred. So that was their move. Call Lucian weak. Call his army dangerous. Put Crown Tower inside our
44:36key. Lucian handed Gareth's sealed report to the King's steward.
44:39Current Rider Count, Grain Stores, Border Patrols, Tax Ledger's records for Synervas and her son.
44:45King Alaric read in silence. Reports can be dressed up. So can treason. The Lord froze. King Alaric lowered the
44:51report.
44:52The North appears better managed than half the estates in this room. No oversaw will be sent.
44:58Caelan's jaw tightened. After court, he blocked me on the stone steps.
45:02Did you come back just to parade him in front of me? No. Then why are you here? To speak
45:08to the King.
45:10I stepped around him. This has nothing to do with you. For once, Caelan had no answer.
45:46But that is your return. But that's all.
45:53.
46:47The next day, the court gathered in the rose dragon garden.
46:50I found the old pool behind the rose wall.
46:53I had fallen in there as a child.
46:55I remembered cold water, small hands, then a black cloak around my shoulders.
47:00Lucian stopped beside me.
47:02You told me Ashborough girls didn't cry over water.
47:06I turned.
47:07That was you?
47:08You were ten, soaked through, furious at the pond.
47:13And you remembered that?
47:14I remembered you.
47:15For a second the court noise faded, then Queen Marion's voice cut through the garden.
47:19How charming. A human duchess among dragonhounds.
47:23Valeria is becoming very generous.
47:25The noble ladies went quiet.
47:27Caelan looked at me. I did not speak. Lucian did.
47:30House Ashbird bled for Valeria before half these dragonhouses learned how to hold a border.
47:35Queen Marion's smile cracked.
47:38Friar's bloodline has earned its place here.
47:40A Marion lady muttered.
47:41Human blood is still human blood.
47:45Lucian turned his dark gold eyes on her.
47:47Then pray you never need human soldiers to die for your comfort again.
47:50No one laughed.
47:52I looked at Lucian. For the first time, I understood.
47:55His silence all these years had never been indifference.
47:59It had been restraint.
48:01The end of the day was with his children.
48:02Fabricius Leal to fight the will.
48:06The end of the day was being arrested.
48:08The end of the day was at the Divide.
48:08The end of the day was the end of the day.
48:08The end of the day was for the first time.
48:09The end of the day was on July.
48:16Have a great day was TTI.
48:16The end of the day was 3-0.
48:23I didn't think so.
48:23Tell me before you.
48:27I have been out on July.
48:44Anya's warning was real. Edric checked the Royal Archive records for me.
48:48Three nights. Three visits.
48:52Madam Corvin entered the sealed wing each time with a Marianne clerk.
48:55The exit list is wrong. Files went in. Fewer came out.
48:59Which files?
49:00Northern Warfront. Ashpington Marching Routes. Dragonblood curse reports.
49:04Lucian's hand tightened on his cane.
49:06They are destroying the trail.
49:08Then we split it.
49:09Lucian went to request royal access from King Alaric.
49:12I sent Edric to the old Archive clerk who had served my father.
49:16By midnight, Mira came to my room carrying a basket of white roses.
49:31My lady. That's the Queen's family.
49:32Don't yell. I know it looks stupid.
49:34She pulled the cloth aside.
49:36Three copied letters lay under the flowers.
49:38My hands went cold.
49:40One letter marked my father's route through the northern pass.
49:43One confirmed the route had been sent before the ambush.
49:45The last carried a red wax seal.
49:47House Marianne.
49:48Mira stared at it.
49:49My lady. That's the Queen's family.
49:53I closed the letters.
49:55Not just her family.
49:58Lucian entered before dawn.
50:00The King agreed to open the vault tomorrow.
50:02I handed him the copies.
50:03Good.
50:04His face changed as he read.
50:07Because now we know what they'll try to hide.
50:20I know what happened thehu.
50:24The young Peter epitaph Here says the number.
50:34Here is our house.
