Transcript

00:01I was born with a blood scent that could make dragon lords lose control.

00:05Pure 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.

00:16This little whore could be a clingy breeder in the future.

00:21He was wrong. Caelan and I became enemies.

00:24For 10 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.

00:52I 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.

01:05Dragonborn 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.

01:31Then 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.

01:48Your majesty. I respect the crown prince as someone I grew up with. Like a brother. I never wanted him.

01:55Not as a man. Not as a husband.

01:58My heart only belongs to dragon crook Lufician Draenmore. 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. The cursed black silver dragon.

02:10The most fierce dragon who destroyed wild dragonkins for 200 years.

02:20Lucian Draenmore fell coma since year ago on the northern war front. Hurt by an unseen blade with curse.

02:27The 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

02:41leech.

02:41Then a broken dragon rose from his wheeled chair. Lucian Draenmore stood between us.

02:46Half crippled, but still terrifying. Back to 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 Draenmore

03:02or 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. If the human girl wants a sleeping dragon, let her

03:14have 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.

03:30I 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.

03:41I'll save him this time. We'll claw our way out of this shithole. Together.

03:44For three days, I slept like someone freed from a cage. Then came the knock at Ashbourne Hall.

03:52The queen commands your presence at the royal citadel tonight. My blood went cold.

03:57At dusk, Madame Corvin led me through the royal corridors. Dragon flowers scented the stone. Then she stopped and bowed.

04:06Your highness, crown prince. I 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 Valorian

04:27way.

04:28Your highness. He looked me over from crown to shoes, as if searching for the girl who used to chase

04:32him through these halls.

04:34That's all? In my last life, I knew his every habit. I baked honey cakes for him. I waited outside

04:39Crown Tower just to hand them over.

04:41He always tossed them to the palace drakes.

04:43Stop this pathetic chase, Freya. You are marrying my uncle now. Try to have some dignity. You 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?

04:59The 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 Valoria.

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.

05:39Dravenmore's black silver banners stretched across the road as Gareth Thorne bowed before me.

05:45Lady Ashborough, Derrenmore receives you with honour.

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 honour 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.

06:17I looked at Lucien, my heart steady despite the tension.

06:20No. 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.

06:38For a heartbeat, nothing happened. Then the air broke open.

06:41Dark pressure slammed through the room. Black silver scales erupted along his neck.

06:46Windows cracked. His hand 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.

06:56Lucien!

06:57His fingers burned against my skin, yet he didn't push me away.

07:05The room went over to the wiki.

07:06I got this feeling.

07:06You, I got this feeling.

07:06What about the room of his face, you said you?

07:09I was standing here by the window.

07:09The room is standing here by the window.

07:09I, I'm standing here by the window.

07:14I have water, Busy.

07:15I got this feeling.

07:16I'm here to be the one.

07:18I'll see you in my head.

07:19I think you're standing here in the window.

07:22What about the room, where the room was waiting for me?

07:24The room...

07:25I was standing here.

07:30My head was waiting for you.

07:32And I'm standing here.

07:35The room went dark. Outside, Dravenmoor Keep erupted. Shouts, running boots, dragon flame lighting up the sky. Gareth broke through

07:42the door.

07:43My lady.

07:44I touched my neck. It was bruised. Lucien lay still again, but his breathing had changed. Deeper, stronger. The curse

07:51had cracked, but whatever was underneath was not gentle.

07:54I didn't know if I had started to wake him up, or started something worse. By dawn, healers filled the

07:59hall. 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.

08:23I 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. The news reached Crown Tower before noon. Caelan was sparring when a servant ran in.

08:44Your Highness, Dravenmoor's mate flame answered Freya last night.

08:47Caelan stopped mid-swing.

08:48The whole northern sky lit up.

08:52Goldfire burst from Caelan's palm. The training post shattered. He thought the wedding would humiliate me.

08:57Instead, all of Royal Citadel was talking about how Dravenmoor's dragon blood had chosen a human bride.

09:03Princess Anya walked in.

09:04So it's true.

09:06She looked at the burned post.

09:07They say Freya looked more like a duchess than a widow.

09:11Careful, Caelan. People might think you're the one who got left behind.

09:16That afternoon, Caelan 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 Dravenmoor go through my office first.

09:26The Ashborough war records we archived.

10:10the Ashborough war records we archived.

10:11Problems of cuộc trape as a gal.

10:12They believed the Ashborough war records were not full.

10:12Why would people you choose to see when you are at the aqu bucks after

10:26and walked straight into the main hall.

10:27Selene's housekeeper stepped in front of me.

10:29Lady Selene is waiting in the West Parlor.

10:31Then she can come here.

10:32The servants froze.

10:33Davinmore Keep is not Selene Vela Vassa's house,

10:36and I am not her guest.

10:37Gareth stood behind me.

10:39He said nothing.

10:39Every servant in the hall understood it.

10:41Gareth supported me as Lady Dravenmore.

10:43Bring me Lucien's healer records,

10:45medicine ledgers, and night watch lists now.

10:47Selene arrived with a soft smile.

10:49Freya, 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.

10:56But her eyes didn't.

10:57By sunset, I found the first problem in the medicine logs.

11:00Some herbs were not healing Lucien.

11:02They were suppressing his dragon blood.

11:03He wasn't too weak to wake.

11:05Someone 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 Dravenmore

11:19require approval from the Crown Prince's office.

11:21I understood.

11:22Selene's confidence didn't come from Dravenmore.

11:24It came from Crown Tower.

11:25That night, Selene heard I'd found the local records.

11:28For the first time, she stopped smiling.

11:30Send Rowan.

11:31Let 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.

12:02Lady Dravenmore.

12:03I stopped.

12:04Come on.

12:04Your husband can't even open his eyes.

12:07Don'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.

12:17Then I slapped him.

12:18Servants rushed over.

12:19No one dared speak.

12:20Rowan wiped blood from his lip.

12:22My mother will hear about this.

12:24Good.

12:25Tell Lady Selene I saved her the trouble.

12:27His face twisted.

12:28My mother!

12:29Your mother failed to raise you.

12:31That makes it my problem now.

12:33I turned to the hall.

12:34Freya.

12:35Gareth.

12:36Put him in the lower water cell.

12:37By morning maybe he'll remember whose keep this is.

12:41The guards moved toward Rowan.

12:43That was when the whole keep understood.

12:44I was Lady Dravenmore.

12:47Below 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.

12:54And Crown Tower knows she knows.

12:57She knows who kept him asleep.

13:27She's been telling me to conjugated�iam picked.

13:30She knows who kept him alive.

13:30She knows who kept him away.

13:33He knows who kept him alive.

13:37He knows who kept him alive.

13:40He knows what이었 him alive.

13:45He sells her arms.

13:45He does not say.

13:45He does not say fortune-에 extent to her now.

13:46How could he give up his hand?

13:46And him I had a well hörable이� İslam.

13:47He knows who keeps it right.

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.

14:18And find me a healer who doesn't answer to Salona or the Royal Pharmacy.

14:22By breakfast, the hall was full.

14:24Servants 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.

14:32Now you want to accuse me too?

14:33I want records.

14:35Household 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.

14:44The healer's seal is missing.

14:46The 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.

14:57I already am.

14:58A crash came from Lucian's chamber.

15:00We ran back.

15:01The medicine bowl had split in half.

15:03Black silver fire burned across the floor.

15:05Lucian's eyes were still closed, but his hand had crushed the bed rail.

15:08That evening, a sealed letter arrived from Crown Tower.

15:11Not a personal note.

15:12An official order with the royal stamp.

15:13Gareth read it aloud.

15:15By the authority of Crown Prince Cailin, a royal medical delegation will be dispatched to Dragonmore Keep

15:19to evaluate Duke Lucian's condition and review all medical arrangements currently in place.

15:24The room went quiet.

15:25When?

15:26Three days.

15:27I looked at the letter.

15:28If Cailin's doctors walked in here, they would take over Lucian's treatment,

15:31reverse everything I had changed, put Celine's people back in charge, and I couldn't refuse.

15:36He was using his nephew's health as the excuse.

15:38Then we have three days.

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,

23:31but black silver pressure filled the room so hard

23:34the candles bent sideways.

23:35The late physician swallowed.

23:37Your grace,

23:38Crown Prince Kalen sent us to review your treatment.

23:40Lucien looked at him.

23:41My nephew sends doctors into my keep without asking me?

23:44No one answered.

23:46The 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, Drayrenmoor's healers answer to me and Lady Derrenmoor, no one else.

23:57The 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.

24:07I could stop him, but I didn't.

24:08I want to see who will answer.

24:09Later, Lucien 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.

24:45What's going on with you?

25:06I was going nuts.

25:06I want to put that in.

25:07I'm sorry.

25:07I'm so sorry.

25:07.

25:37.

25:38.

25:40.

25:45.

25:46.

25:47.

25:54.

25:55.

26:05At dawn, Lucien ordered the ledgers sealed. Gareth brought iron boxes from Celine's office,

26:11tax books, supply lists, military payment rolls. By noon, the truth was on the table.

26:15Northern Rider pay was cut for eight months. Wintergrain was marked as delivered, but the storehouses never received it.

26:22He placed another page down.

26:23.

26:24.

26:26.

26:27.

26:28.

26:29.

26:30.

26:31.

26:32I made sacrifices. Lucian looked at her. You sold my soldier's food and called it sacrifice?

26:38I protected Dravenmoor while you slept. No. You fed off it. The hall went silent.

26:45Rowan was dragged in, bruised and terrified. Mother, say something. Selene did not look at

26:51him. Lucian tapped the ledger. Rowan Vos goes to the dungeon until I decide his sentence.

26:56You can't do this to family! Family does not touch my wife,

26:59steal from my riders, or poison my house. The guards took him away.

27:05Selene Vox is removed from all household authority. She will remain under guard in the East Wing.

27:11Then he turned to me. The accounts are yours now. Every servant in the hall dropped to one knee.

27:16For the first time, they were not kneeling because Lucian had woken. They were kneeling because I had

27:21won.

27:39The wife'siri and she was dead. She was like, I will not quiet, and we would

27:40talk to you guys.

27:40We're not sure the victims that are her friends.

27:48We're not surprised the victims.

27:49We're not friends.

27:49We're not what's going on.

27:50We're not sure the victims that get in, we're not sure.

27:53We're not sure.

34:34tower by nightfall. Caelan read the report once, then goldfire burst from his hand. Half the desk

34:39burned before the guards could move. He threw out my delegation? The messenger shook. Yes,

34:43your highness. Lady Selina has been confined. Rowan Vos is in the dungeon. Caelan's eyes went

34:48gold. Freya did this. Lucien did this. Freya gave him the knife. Later, Queen Marion called House

34:55Marion into her private chamber. If Lucien speaks of the northern warfront, every old wound opens.

35:00A lord leaned close. Then we strike first. At court. Accused him of hiding troops, ignoring royal

35:05summons and using illness to build power in the north. At the same time, Caelan went to King Alaric.

35:10Father, Uncle Lucien just woke from a curse. He should return to the royal citadel for treatment.

35:14You sound very concerned. Caelan's mouth tightened. He is family. Across the hall,

35:19Princess Anya heard enough. That night, she found Edric Ravenshade near the chapel.

35:23Your cousin is walking into a trap. Which cousin? The one Freya married. Try to keep up.

35:28Edric's face changed. Send word to Dravenmore. Tell Lady Dravenmore the Queen is moving first.

36:08Author, David.

36:08All right.

36:09All right.

36:12We'll see you next time.

36:12Bye.

36:12I'll be here.

36:22Bye.

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.

36:53Some nights, his fire turned wild.

36:55One burst split the bedpost.

36:56Another 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.

37:06My arm hit broken stone.

37:07Blood ran to my wrist.

37:09Lucian froze.

37:10The fire died at once.

37:11He tried to stand too fast and nearly fell.

37:14It's a scratch.

37:15I hurt you.

37:16The curse hurt me, not you.

37:19Do not make this sound easy.

37:21I 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.

37:26You 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.

38:06He was speaking as a duke.

38:07He was speaking as an apprentice.

38:07You should not have done that.

38:07You should not only get elected.

38:07But I could not have been absoluted.

38:07He was speaking as an apprentice.

38:08You should not be able to die.

38:08You should not be able to decide whether he was this young duke.

38:08He was a coward,ừa Sofia,direaker or Negri,

38:26.

38:56.

39:26.

40:14The summons arrive three days later. King Alaric's Seal. Royal Parchment. No room to refuse. Gareth read it in the

40:22hall.

40:22Dragon Duke Lucian Dravenmore and Lady Freya Davenmore are commanded to attend the Royal Citadel.

40:27The servants looked at me. Lucian 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.

40:42And I have things to show my brother.

40:43That night, I packed the evidence myself.

40:46Selene's ledgers. The medicine logs. The 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.

41:05I'm not going back as that girl.

41:09Before dawn, I found Lucian on the Tower.

41:12Royal Citadel was far beyond the Dark Hills.

41:15Caelan 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.

41:48And 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, Caelan 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.

42:06Duke Lucian, Valeria is relieved to see you awake.

42:08Relieved enough to send her a sucker.

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.

42:19How 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.

42:28Whatever 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.

43:00Yes.

43:30It's 15 years on the corner.

43:30Yes, that's exactly what we can do today.

43:30In our PSI have revealed, that what has known on record?

43:30.

44:06The Autumn Court filled the royal hall by sunrise.

44:08Dragon lords, human nobles, crown loyalists.

44:11Lucian entered with a cane.

44:13The room still bowed.

44:14Black silver pressure rolled over the floor.

44:16Even House Marianne's men stopped smiling.

44:18Caelan sat in the prince's seat, gold fire flickering under his skin.

44:21A Marianne lord stepped forward first.

44:23Your Majesty, Duke Lucian has been absent from court for a year.

44:26His private dragon riders remain under northern command.

44:28Valeria needs a royal overseer in Drevenmore.

44:30The hall stirred.

44:31So that was their move.

44:32Call Lucian weak.

44:33Call his army dangerous.

44:35Put crown tower inside our key.

44:36Lucian handed Gareth's sealed report to the king's steward.

44:39Current rider count, grain stores, border patrols, tax ledgers records for Sinervas and her son.

44:45King Alaric read in silence.

44:46Reports can be dressed up.

44:48So can treason.

44:49The lord froze.

44:50King Alaric lowered the report.

44:52The north appears better managed than half the estates in this room.

44:56No oversaw will be sent.

44:58Caelan's jaw tightened.

45:00After court, he blocked me on the stone steps.

45:02Did you come back just to parade him in front of me?

45:05No.

45:06Then why are you here?

45:08To speak to the king.

45:10I stepped around him.

45:11This has nothing to do with you.

45:14For once, Caelan had no answer.

45:31Let's turn the mic.

45:31Can you?

45:51No, we're going to write.

45:51It's up to the king.

45:57I'm going to write.

45:57.

46:47The next day, the court gathered in the Rose Dragon Garden.

46:51I found the old pool behind the rose wall.

46:53I had fallen in there as a child.

46:56I remembered cold water.

46:57Small hands.

46:59Then a black cloak around my shoulders.

47:01Lucian stopped beside me.

47:02You told me Ashborough girls didn't cry over water.

47:06I turned.

47:08That was you?

47:09You 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.

47:17Then Queen Marion's voice cut through the garden.

47:19How charming.

47:20A human duchess among dragonhounds.

47:23Velouria is becoming very generous.

47:25The noble ladies went quiet.

47:27Caelan looked at me.

47:28I did not speak.

47:29Lucian did.

47:30House Ashbird bled for Valeria before half these dragonhouses learned how to hold a border.

47:35Queen Marion's smile cracked.

47:38Freer'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.

47:51No one laughed.

47:52I looked at Lucian.

47:53For the first time, I understood.

47:55His silence all these years had never been indifference.

47:59It had been restrained.

48:06It had been restrained.

48:29Frankie Nathan...

48:29He said that you were forget about this,

48:31ever choosing the point for....

48:35She was buenas to me.

48:36That girl looks damned.

48:36I get you aary overburntl Reaper...

48:43Oh�� did it again.

48:44She has 6 clouds.

48:44I really hate this, okay?ritos!

48:44Anya's

48:45warning was real! Edric checked

48:47the royal archive records for me. Three nights.

48:50Three visits!

48:52Poor man.

48:52Corvin entered the sealed wing each time with a Marianne clerk. The exit list is wrong. Files went

48:58in, fewer came out. Which files? Northern Warfront, Ashpington marching routes, Dragonblood curse

49:04reports. Lucian's hand tightened on his cane. They are destroying the trail. Then we split it. Lucian

49:09went to request royal access from King Alaric. I sent Edric to the old archive clerk who had

49:14served my father. By midnight, Mira came to my room carrying a basket of white roses.

49:32Don't yell. I know it looks stupid. She pulled the cloth aside. Three copied letters lay under

49:38the flowers. My hands went cold. One letter marked my father's route through the northern pass.

49:43One confirmed the route had been sent before the ambush. The last carried a red wax seal.

49:47House Marriand. Mira stared at it. My lady, that's the queen's family. I closed the letters.

49:56Not just her family. Lucian entered before dawn. The king agreed to open the vault tomorrow.

50:02I handed him the copies. Good. His face changed as he read. Because now we know what they'll try to

50:09hide.

50:17Things wasn't destroyed by the
