00:02in the year when i most longed for a handsome face i found an amnesiac man while gathering
00:07herbs on silvermoon mountain taking advantage of his injury and memory loss i persuaded him
00:12to marry me he agreed gladly on our wedding night candlelight flickered drunk and bleary-eyed i
00:19looked at him a faint blush rose on his cheeks when he lowered his head to kiss me raindrops
00:24began to fall softly outside the window in the second month after the wedding he suddenly regained
00:29his memory he said he was the heir of the blood moon family but his house controlled the blood
00:34crystal lines and asked me to go back with him i went with him to the capital but then i
00:39overheard
00:40a conversation between him and his mother and learned the truth three months earlier while
00:45gathering herbs i passed a stream in the forest and saw a man lying among the rocks a hideous sword
00:50wound on his back the water stained red with blood his skin was pale as moonlight and the silver threads
00:55on his robe gleamed coldly in the sun he was more beautiful than all the men i had ever seen
01:00put
01:00together i went up to check his breath he was alive so i carried him home on my back i
01:06tended him without
01:07rest for three days i made him a blood staunching broth a recipe my mother taught me but with the
01:13same
01:13herbs mine worked faster than others the villagers called me a born healer before she died my mother also
01:20said sarin remember humans have the prophet's prophecy neither wolf nor vampire dare harm you
01:31but still be careful of them i didn't understand then i would later on the third morning he finally
01:38woke the first words he spoke were where is this who am i he had amnesia i thought about lying
01:46telling him i was his wife after all with a face like his it wouldn't be a bad deal to
01:51have him as a
01:51husband but my conscience wouldn't allow it so i told the truth my name is sarin this is my home
02:00you were hurt and i saved you since you can't remember your name i'll call you nikes just rest now
02:09names don't matter he looked down at his bandage wound and nodded the days he spent recovering at my
02:14home were unexpectedly lovely after he healed a little he began helping me with chores sweeping
02:20the yard mending the fence drying my herbs he could even identify some plants i wasn't sure about
02:26it smells like i think i've seen it before watching him sit by the window sorting my herbs made me
02:31feel
02:32warm inside when i changed his bandages my fingers accidentally brushed the edge of his wound
02:37it seemed to shrink a little i rubbed my eyes thinking it was just the candle light
02:43then i noticed that wherever i touched the redness faded unusually fast i sat down opposite
02:49him my cheeks warm nikes shall we get married a flash of red light crossed his pupils then vanished
02:55yes
02:59overjoyed i dug out the six gold coins my mother had left me from under the bed a simple wedding
03:05was
03:05enough the village priest held the ceremony and everyone came to the feast that night a little
03:10drunk i looked at him and said marrying you is the luckiest thing he cupped my face in his hands
03:16his light colored eyes reflecting the candle flames i feel the same nix looked at me and kissed me then
03:23the rain began to fall drops hitting the window by the bed his hand slid to my waist fingers grazing
03:29and i shivered not from cold the rain grew heavier covering our breaths when i woke the next morning i
03:36was
03:36not tired at all turning to look at him i saw the edges of the wounds on his back glowing
03:41faintly with
03:41a pale green light days passed quickly every day i went up the mountain to gather herbs then returned
03:48to treat patients in the village or town he stayed home repairing the house i thought life would go on
03:54like that forever until one day when i came back from gathering herbs i saw two strangers in black robes
04:00standing in my yard their skin was pale their pupils reddish and thin swords hung at their belts
04:07my heart jumped i thought the men who had injured him had come for revenge he had already remembered
04:12his name dorian and was standing by the little table where we usually ate together the black roped
04:17men knelt on one knee facing him what's going on i walked to dorian's side and lowered my voice
04:23are these people here to cause you trouble he looked at me with a complicated emotion in his light
04:28colored eyes that i had never seen before sarin my memory has returned his memory had returned
04:34i thought of the first day we met the fine silver thread on his robes the faint ring mark on
04:39his finger
04:39the mark of a family crest worn for years he was no ordinary man what had he remembered did he
04:45already
04:46have a wife if his family was noble would they accept me as his wife flustered i asked then
04:54what will you do now will you come back with me to the capital before i didn't know who i
05:01was and i
05:01couldn't repay you for saving my life now that i remember come with me all right
05:09he remembered where he came from that he was not yet married and he said he wanted me as his
05:14wife
05:14i was more than willing dorian's full name was dorian blood moon the blood moon family the wealthiest
05:20vampire nobles on the continent who had controlled the blood crystal mines for generations his mother
05:26gave birth to him when she was over 400 years old he was cherished like a jewel spoilt since childhood
05:31during the two months he was missing the family spent fortunes hiring all manner of forces to find him
05:37listening to him tell me this i felt a little envious your family really loves you my mother had loved
05:44me
05:44very much too she had been the best healer in the village but she died when i was 12 before
05:49she fell
05:50ill she left me her medicine chest and a packet of seeds these are moon shadow flower seeds when they
05:57bloom you will know who you are i always thought it was just her ravings
06:03because dorian hadn't fully healed we spent several days on the road before reaching the capital
06:08one night we stopped in the wilderness moonlight flooded the plains dorian stood under the moon and from his back
06:14unfolded a pair of wings bat like their membranes dark red in the moonlight he reached out his hand to
06:20me
06:20and i took it he lifted me into the night sky the wind roared in my ears as the sun
06:25sank below the horizon
06:26darkness fell and one by one the stars appeared half a day later the carriage stopped before a great manor
06:32looking at the gate carved with the blood moon crest i felt a sudden unease as soon as the carriage
06:38stopped
06:38an elderly woman came out followed by four servants her eyes filled with tears at the sight of dorian
06:44young lord you finally returned my lady has nearly wept her eyes out how thin you've become
06:51the crowd surrounded dorian as he walked inside i followed pushed to the back dorian didn't look back
06:58once once inside the manor dorian was taken to see his mother i was randomly placed in a secluded room
07:04and forgotten about half an hour later a servant called me miss my lady requests your presence at
07:11dinner i followed him into a hall 10 times larger than my home
07:17on the main seat sat a strikingly beautiful woman who looked barely 30 vampires aged very slowly
07:23mother this is seren she saved my life i stepped forward and greeted her good day my lady her expression
07:30was cold her eyes scanned me from head to toe like she was appraising a worthless object
07:35seren thank you for saving my son this meal is a token of thanks so please don't stand on ceremony
07:41not a family dinner a thank you i looked at dorian but he looked away dorian and i were married
07:48two
07:48months ago you needn't thank me a flicker of unease crossed lady bloodman's face then she forced a
07:53smile you jest in our clan marriage requires approval of the family council not to mention that my son had
08:01lost his memory even if he hadn't without the family's consent the union is invalid but he was
08:09willing our wedding was witnessed by a priest her false smile finally broke dorian has been betrothed
08:17since childhood to the crimson family one of the 12 noble bloodlines his fiance is evangeline crimson
08:25daughter of the council's chief how can a common herb grather like you compare to her but we i finished
08:34she lifted a crystal glass sipped a red liquid cut me off and rose to leave dorian glanced at me
08:40hesitated
08:41and chased after her i looked at the untouched feast on the table picked up a metal fork and began
08:47to eat
08:49in the evening dorian came to see me
08:53seren what mother said today isn't true i only think of evangeline as a sister
08:59you really are betrothed to her it was arranged by the elders when we were children
09:04it doesn't count then will you break the engagement
09:11i dorian i was wrong to trick you into marrying you while you had amnesia
09:16but after you recovered you told me you weren't married now your mother doesn't like me and wants
09:21you to marry that crimson girl can't you decide your own marriage think it over and then come talk to
09:28me
09:30dorian left looking despondent the next three days i didn't see him but i heard from servants that
09:37evangeline had arrived i didn't want to court trouble so i stayed in my room yet she came to find
09:43me herself
09:46the beautiful richly dressed vampire girl opened her mouth so you're the one who saved dorian looking at
09:52her face i felt a pang of pity for such a pretty face when i didn't answer she got annoyed
09:58just as
09:58i thought a country bumpered with no manners at all and yet i am a married woman because of
10:04your dorian her face flushed from pale to red to say such things in broad daylight so this is how
10:12you seduce dorian if i didn't answer she was angry if i answered she was angrier these noble
10:19girls were impossible i simply turned and went back into my room staying out of sight should be safe
10:25right but she wouldn't let it go from outside my door she said she would go to lady blood moon
10:30for
10:31justice then stormed off i shrugged and popped a pastry into my mouth since dorian wouldn't come
10:36to me i went to find him in the evening on my way to his room i passed the study
10:41and heard voices
10:42his and his mother's i hadn't meant to eavesdrop but i caught words like crude there was probably only
10:49one person in this manner that those words could refer to dorian i tell you once more for the
10:56family's sake your wife must be evangeline crimson that woman you'll marry her only over my dead body
11:04mother you worry too much sarin is just an ordinary person i brought her back only because she saved my
11:12life just give her the status of a mistress and let her stay dorian's words struck me one by one
11:18i gripped my skirt tightly standing there i felt like i had fallen into an ice cave after a long
11:25moment i turned and walked back to my room for this trip to the capital dorian had said not to
11:30bring
11:30much so i packed only a cloth bundle a few changes of clothes my mother's medicine chest and the packet
11:36of moon shadow seeds i looked at the bundle so out of place in this luxurious room like me out
11:42of place
11:42in this manner taking a deep breath i went to lady blood moon's room under cover of night when she
11:48saw
11:48me her blood crystal glass paused mid-lift what is it this late give me 500 gold coins and i'll
11:56leave
11:56tonight a flicker of contempt crossed her face then suspicion you're truly willing to leave dorian
12:02pretending not to see her scorn he wants me as his mistress and i refuse even a mistress of
12:08the blood moon family is better than a common nobleman's wife glorious so what my mother used
12:17to say being a mistress is no life for a woman taking the 500 gold coins i hired a carriage
12:23and
12:23left the capital that same night back in the village my neighbor martha looked at me in surprise sarin
12:29child why are you back didn't you go to the capital for a good life with your husband he has
12:35a
12:35fiancee and i don't want to be his mistress so i came back too right being a mistress is awful
12:41good
12:42to be home see even the village women understand this truth why couldn't dorian i stuffed the bag
12:50of coins under my bed and went back to my daily routine of gathering herbs and tending patients
12:54in the first few days after returning i began having strange dreams in the dream there was a forest and
13:01at
13:01its center stood a giant tree whose crown touched the sky between its branches flowed a silver blue
13:06light on the tree's limbs were built tree houses with warm golden light in their windows rope bridges
13:12and spiral staircases connected them all the way to the highest canopy a woman stood before the great
13:17tree reaching out to me she wore a silver robe and starlight swirled in her pupils she said come back
13:24child
13:28i always woke just before she could touch me my heart raced but the dream faded like water through
13:34my fingers leaving only a faint impression luna lay by my bed rubbing her head against my hand i touched
13:41her ear and whispered to myself just a dream luna was always with me pure white the sheep my mother
13:48had
13:48left me mother said she was special and her milk could aid healing when i went out to gather herbs
13:53she followed
13:54me when i prepared remedies she lay on the threshold and napped it was strange but i could always find
14:00the rarest herbs the mullein that others searched three days for i would spot at my feet in the forest
14:05the villagers said i had the blessing of the forest spirit i thought it was just luck once while crossing
14:12a valley where wolves often roamed i came face to face with a gray wolf instinctively i crouched and
14:17reached out my hand the wolf stared at me for a few seconds then whined lowered its head and ran
14:23off
14:24luna bleated proudly i patted her head you're quite brave
14:32two months passed i only rarely thought of dorian now and when i did my heart no longer hurt as
14:38much
14:38i thought i might find a new husband my mother died early for years i had been alone all i
14:45ever wanted was
14:45to find a partner and make a family i took two silver coins from the bag and decided to go
14:50to the next
14:51village to seek a matchmaker's help the matchmaker lived far over a mountain i tucked two black loaves
14:57into my pocket strapped on my herb basket i could gather on the way and set off halfway up the
15:02mountain
15:03i felt uneasy when i reached the stream a wind carried the strong smell of rust i followed the scent
15:10and found
15:10a man lying by the water he was covered in wounds unconscious his injuries were far worse than dorian's
15:19cuts all over the stream stained red with blood i fought the urge to check on him force myself to
15:25look away and kept walking no more picking up strangers hadn't i learned my lesson i was a healer i
15:31couldn't let someone die i crouched heaved him onto my back he was heavy i gritted my teeth one night
15:39if you're not awake by morning i'll throw you back into the mountains once home i saw how bad his
15:44wounds
15:45were hardly a patch of unbroken skin the worst was an arrow wound near his heart half an inch lower
15:51and
15:51he would have been dead luna came over sniffed him and whined she rubbed her head against his arm
15:57maybe her milk would help i fetched clean water carefully washed his wounds applied the ointment
16:03my mother had left and spooned a few mouthfuls of warm sheep's milk into him while cleaning him
16:07my fingers accidentally touched the deepest wound on his chest he shuddered and the wound's edge visibly
16:13began to close i felt heat in my fingertips it was as if some force was pulling the edges together
16:19luna bleated and lay down beside him refusing to move the rest was up to fate just before dawn
16:26the man woke the moment he opened his eyes they were sharp as knives like a wounded beast his gaze
16:32locked on me full of suspicion and killing intent who are you where is this i rubbed my head at
16:41the
16:41familiar question do you remember who you are his expression didn't change but i felt an inexplicable
16:47pressure what do you want so he did remember who he was good no amnesia i exhaled in relief you
16:55were
16:55hurt i was afraid you'd die by the stream so i brought you to here to heal now that you're
17:00awake
17:00leave once you can walk i have my own affairs and i can't keep you long he looked down at
17:07his bandaged
17:08wound his guard remained high but the killing intent had lessened you bandaged me who else thank you
17:16call me ash once i recover i'll repay you for saving my life i didn't want repayment i just wanted
17:23him
17:23gone quickly but things didn't go as planned on the third night as i was about to blow out the
17:31lamp
17:31and sleep a hand covered my mouth before i could struggle ash's low voice whispered don't make a
17:37sound someone's outside in the moonlight his ears seemed to twitch slightly as if tracking the faintest
17:43footsteps he pulled me behind a cabinet a knife already in his hand the men outside moved the door was
17:50silently forced open and a dark figure slashed at the bed finding it empty he turned and swung at the
17:55cabinet ash raised his arm to block the blow in that instant a silver light flared around him and
18:01behind him appeared the phantom of a huge wolf its green eyes locked on the enemy alongside his own
18:06after about a quarter of an hour the cabinet door opened from outside under the moonlight ash's already
18:12sharp face was streaked with blood giving him a wild otherworldly beauty he reached out a hand to me
18:18come out they're dealt with the air was thick with the smell of blood i looked at the motionless
18:25bodies on the ground my stomach churned and i bent over dry heaving they were my enemies it won't happen
18:32again i didn't answer i dragged my exhausted body to the bed clean the floor before you sleep
18:43after that nothing similar happened but a black raven began to visit my home often entirely black
18:50with a broad wingspan and something always tied to its leg it never landed anywhere but near ash i'd heard
18:56of such birds they carried messages ash must have been in contact with his people so i asked him
19:02when he would leave he gave me a pouch of gold coins and said he needed to stay a while
19:06longer
19:07i looked at the coins and thought for a moment you can stay but you have to help with the
19:11work
19:11gathering herbs drying them chopping wood he smiled the first smile i had seen on him in days and said
19:18all right he settled in with me for now much like dorian had i went up the mountain to gather
19:23herbs
19:23and tended patience while he stayed home to tidy up and dry the herbs only he didn't need to do
19:28odd
19:28jobs for money and i didn't dare lose my heart again my instincts told me this man was far more
19:34dangerous than dorian still ash was an excellent cook he made anything taste good one day he used a
19:40spice i didn't recognize in a stew i asked what it was and he said bay leaves i was puzzled
19:47i had never
19:48planted bay later i found a small bay sapling growing in the corner of the yard though i was
19:53certain nothing had been there before i crouched down and touched its leaves the tiny seedling
19:58seemed to receive an infusion of life within moments it shot up a hand's length pale white
20:03light patterns appeared on the leaves flowing along the veins i pulled my hand back in fright
20:11during the time ash stayed he always had a meal ready when i came home he would slip two flatbreads
20:17into my pocket before i left and i would give him the biggest piece of meat at dinner we grew
20:22more
20:22comfortable with each other sometimes i thought it wouldn't be so bad to go on like this but he
20:27would have to leave eventually the matchmaker had news in the next village lived a hunter whose wife
20:33had recently died he wanted to remarry he didn't mind that i had been married before and asked if i'd
20:38meet him i thought about it why not i couldn't stay alone forever when ash learned of it he was
20:45sharpening
20:45his knife in the yard he paused and the blade scraped against the stone with a screech you're really
20:51going yes i went inside when will you leave he didn't answer he threw down the knife and went into
21:00his room i walked along the stream toward the next village the hunter's house wasn't far when he saw me
21:07he grinned so you're sarin not bad looking i frowned my wife died young a misfortune if you marry me
21:17you
21:17just cook and wash for me every day nothing else to worry about i didn't want to stay we're not
21:25a good
21:25match he got anxious and blocked my way you've been married before i didn't mind you and now you're
21:31turning me down before he finished speaking he reached for my arm a blade pressed against his
21:37throat don't touch her with your filthy hands it was ash who are you ash gave him a cold look
21:45and
21:45pulled me away i looked at my wrist in his grip why did you come to see what kind of
21:52man you'd marry
21:53i wasn't going to marry him then why did you come he stopped walking and took out a dark silver
22:00pendant from his chest a crescent moon ancient looking cool to the touch sirin i have to go
22:08take this when i've had my revenge i'll come back for you revenge he was silent for a moment then
22:16his
22:16eyes darkened the vampires invaded our wolf lands and killed many of my people this war either they die
22:24or we do don't worry the human prophecy protects you no one will harm you in the moonlight his pupils
22:32narrowed to slits and his canines showed briefly then disappeared i wanted to ask more but he had
22:38already turned and walked into the night ash left the pendant looked too valuable and i didn't take it
22:47but a week later while cleaning the house i found it again in the bag of gold coins under my
22:52bed
22:52along with two more pouches of gold and a note the note had just three words wait for me i
22:57folded the
22:58note back into the bag i held the pendant for a long time in the moonlight the silver crescent glowed
23:04faintly as if alive life went on as usual herbs to pick patience to see the stove to light but
23:12at meals
23:12there was only one set of cutlery again luna lay on the threshold occasionally bleeding as if asking
23:18where's that man when winter came mountain herbs grew scarcer yet each time i went out i would run
23:24into a fine plant on my usual path as if waiting for me once i was certain the path had
23:29been bare the
23:30day before but overnight a clump of silver thread grass had sprouted from a crack child you true are
23:37blessed by the forest spirit i smiled but in my heart i felt something was off a month later news
23:44of war
23:45came i went to the town storyteller to ask fighting in the north i hear indeed wolves and vampires have
23:53been at it for hundreds of years this time the wolvels have a young king named lucian he swore to
24:00drive
24:00the vampires out of the north and take back the wolves land and who's winning
24:08the wolves they say the old vampire nobles are no good at fighting though they have money but this
24:15wolf king is determined he's pushed all the way into vampire territory someone else chimed in but
24:21vampires have magic don't they the storyteller shook his head magic can't match wolf claws and the
24:27vampires aren't united you know the blood moon family once strong but centuries ago one of their
24:33ancestors lost control drink human blood killed a human that broke the prophet's curse and that
24:39branch has been greatly weakened now all they have are mines and gold useless in war my heart stirred
24:44the blood moon family dorian's family i raised my clay cup and took a sip saying nothing after war
24:52talk the storyteller changed the subject to private matters they say he still hasn't married not even a
24:58woman by his side maybe he's got some ailment you don't know i have a distant relative in the capital
25:07who serves in the palace and he says the king already has someone in his heart who what kind of
25:17woman
25:20a healer they say a village medic from a smill hamlet another jeer why would a king want a herb
25:29gatherer
25:30ah you don't understand she can bring the dying back to life my clay cup slipped spilling its contents
25:39down my front i brushed off my clothes and hurried out of the inn there were still herbs to gather
25:45today
25:45while gathering herbs i cut my hand that night after applying ointment i sat by the window moonlight
25:52fell on my hand and the skin around the wound glowed faintly with a pale green light the cut healed
25:57before
25:57my eyes i reached up and touched the small leaf-shaped birthmark on my upper ear my mother said it
26:03was our
26:03people's mark that night the first snow of the year fell sarin sarin come quick come see
26:14i walked out into the snow and saw a troop of riders at the village entrance the wind was strong
26:19and the
26:20banner flapped and curled the villagers all hid inside their homes i started back to my hand instinctively
26:26going to the cleaver at my waist the troop came closer they stopped right in front of my yard
26:32the man at the head in a black cloak he pushed open my gate and walked in through the snow
26:37one step
26:38two deep and heavy prints he stopped before me and pushed back the hood of his cloak in the wind
26:44and
26:44snow his face was thinner than it had been half a year ago the lines deeper i slowly loosened my
26:49grip on
26:50the cleaver my voice trembling you before i could finish he pulled me into his arms his chin rested
26:56on my head his voice muffled i'm home luna bleated from the threshold wagging her tail and rubbing
27:02against his leg i had guessed right he was the wolf king the war god they called the wolf of
27:10the north
27:10stood before me now still holding two flatbreads he had pressed them into my hand as he came through
27:15the door still warm he reached out and touched the pendant hanging around my neck
27:19his nostrils flaring slightly as if checking something and the corner of his mouth lifted
27:23you're wearing it i didn't answer i looked him in the eyes are you the wolf king yes lucian
27:35what my real name lucian the war lasted half a year all that time i missed you terribly will you
27:44come with me
27:46no he hadn't expected that surprised what no why i won't be a mistress i'm asking you
27:58to be my queen but he was silent after a long moment you don't want to marry me
28:08no though i hated to admit it i had fallen for him again i did love ash but ash wasn't
28:15lucian lucian
28:17was a king i remembered what lady blood moon had said to me you are the wolf king and now
28:23you have
28:23united this land your queen should be of noble birth so you can support each other in marriage
28:31he laughed a bold confident laugh nonsense i won this land with my own sword
28:39not through marriage alliances but i don't want to live in a palace
28:47no one would pick my herbs no one would see my patients after a long while he turned and left
28:54i thought he had gone for good but the next morning when i opened the door i saw soldiers
29:00busy in my yard moving tables weeding chopping wood building a pavilion they had even brought a
29:05whole cart of herbs neatly stacked i was dumbfounded i grabbed a young soldier maybe 15 what are you doing
29:17you're your majesty the queen his majesty says he will live here from now on and told us to fix
29:25up
29:25the yard he also said to build an extra room for a dispensary where is lucian now at the inn
29:35in town
29:36when i arrived lucian was reviewing documents the guards must have been told in advance for no one

29:52since you won't come to the palace i'll have to come live with you i've already started building the
29:57dispensary what kind would you like i looked at his roguish expression and gritted my teeth my humble hut
30:03can't hold a great man like you it's all right wherever sirin likes i like he truly moved in again
30:13he slept in the same bed where he recovered sometimes made me the meals he used to make
30:17spent his days reviewing reports and practicing swordsmanship in the evenings he clumsily helped me
30:23sort herbs doing his best the black raven began visiting frequently again every time i frowned and
30:29urged him to go back to his palace the next meal would include a dish he cooked himself after a
30:34few
30:34times it felt like i was only trying to drive him away for the sake of the food i stopped
30:39asking him
30:40to leave if he wanted to stay let him stay one incident happened during this time i was out gathering
30:49herbs as usual when my neighbor martha came running sarin quick come home see who's here
30:54i followed her back it was dorian he knelt in my yard before lucian his head hung low his spine
31:02sagging
31:03a far cry from the elegant noble he once was luna stood to the side bleeding at him unpleasantly
31:08i heard him say please your majesty spare the blood moon family we will give you the blood crystal mines
31:17of course i want the mines but you have to ask someone besides me
31:28sarin why don't you come in dorian looked up at the voice and his body jolted sarin
31:36your majesty i looked at him in just one year his eyes were no longer clear and he had grown
31:41terribly
31:42thin what's going on he brushed a stray hair from my forehead dorian flinched lucian's lips curled the
31:50vampires fought me for years now they've lost and he comes to beg for mercy i looked at dorian his
31:58head
31:59bowed his whole body shaking what do you plan to do with the blood moon family
32:05by law death then execute them dorian's head snapped up sarin we were one husband and wife
32:17how can you be so heartless i looked at him and found it almost funny dorian i saved your life
32:26and you took me to the capital just to humiliate me
32:29how ridiculous his lips trembled i didn't that was all to appease my mother
32:36i already broke off the engagement with the crimsons i wanted to marry you it doesn't matter anymore
32:44what you did doesn't matter to me do as you see fit lucian however seemed in good spirits he
32:52personally helped dorian to his feet the blood moon family though thou defeated has offered their mind
32:59a contribution i'll spare their lives and exile them to the western border thank you your majesty
33:08the west is hard but you'll live i knew he was doing it for my sake
33:16that evening lucian cooked a whole table of dishes i sat watching him remembering how last winter he had
33:22stood by the same stove turning sour wild fruit into jam what are you looking at at you you look
33:30better cooking than holding a sword then i'll cook for you every day aren't you also a king
33:39kings have to eat too he put a piece of stewed meat on my plate taste it i braised it
33:45half an hour longer
33:46today looking at the meat in my bowl i finally couldn't help it lucian yes can your queen continue
33:53gathering herbs can she still see patience he paused for a heartbeat then his eyes lit up with surprise
34:00yes you can keep gathering herbs and you can keep seeing patience keep doing what you love i'll be with
34:07you i saw nothing but joy in his eyes he looked at me and kissed me the night grew light
34:13the moment our
34:13lips met his tongue entered and i clutched his hand my fingertips trembling our breathing grew tangled
34:20i couldn't tell whose was hotter he put one hand on my waist pulled me onto him and with the
34:25other
34:26touched my neck his thumb stroking my pulse i let out a faint whimper that he swallowed the night like
34:32water swallowed every sound leaving only intertwined breasts and the soft rustle of cloth
34:41on the day of the full moon i dug out the packet of moon shadow seeds from the bottom of
34:46my medicine
34:46chest the seeds my mother had left me somehow the cloth bag had torn a little and a few seeds
34:52had
34:52scattered onto the windowsill moonlight streamed through the window and fell on those seeds
34:57and then they bloomed silver white petals opened in the moonlight one after another like stars
35:03falling onto my windowsill a cool sweet fragrance filled the air seeping into my skin into my bones
35:10my body began to glow the small cartilage at the top of my ear had grown into a sharp point
35:15i touched it then ran to look in the mirror my face was the same but deep in my pupils
35:21a point of
35:21silver light swirled like two tiny moons memories flooded back like a tide the silver moon forest a
35:28stag of white gold phantom like bent its forelegs and bowed its head to me a voice spoke in my
35:33ear
35:33my mother's voice seren last blood of the moon shadow elves your true name is seren moon shadow when
35:42you remember who you are return to the silver moon forest lucian pushed open the door and saw the silver
35:48light filling the room in my pointed ears he froze then he smiled so my queen is an elven princess
35:56you you knew i guessed then why didn't you tell me because it doesn't matter who you are
36:04you are seren that's enough
