Reborn as the Sleeping Dragon's Bride - FULL

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 Dravenmore 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 Dravenmore 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 Dravenmore

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.

03:15So 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. At dusk, Madame Corvin led me through the royal corridors.

04:01Dragon flowers 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 Valorian

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. He 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?

04:58The 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 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.

05:40Dravenmore'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.

06:19No. 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. I

06:29leaned 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. Dark pressure slammed through the room.

06:43Black silver scales erupted along his neck. Windows cracked. His hand shot up and caught my throat. Not gentle, not

06:49soft.

06:50Dragon fire exploded from his body, scorching the ceiling and bed frame. I gasped, gripping his wrist.

06:56Lucien.

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

07:01Lucien.

07:02Lucien.

07:03Lucien.

07:04Lucien.

07:05Lucien.

07:11Lucien.

07:12Lucien.

07:14Lucien.

07:19Lucien.

07:20Lucien was closed, but his grip was tightening.

07:22Black silver flame tore across the ceiling.

07:24The bed frame split.

07:25I grabbed his wrist.

07:28It's me.

07:29It's Freya.

07:30His fingers burned against my skin.

07:32Then the fire pulled back.

07:33His hand dropped.

07:34The room went dark.

07:36Outside, Draven Moor Keep erupted.

07:38Shouts.

07:38Running boots.

07:39Dragon flame lighting up the sky.

07:41Gareth broke through the door.

07:43My lady.

07:44I touched my neck.

07:45It was bruised.

07:46Lucien lay still again, but his breathing had changed.

07:48Deeper.

07:49Stronger.

07:50The curse had cracked.

07:51But whatever was underneath was not gentle.

07:53I didn't know if I had started to wake him up.

07:56Or started something worse.

07:57By dawn, healers filled the hall.

07:59Gareth locked down the entire floor.

08:11No one tells the royal citadel what happened last night.

08:14The mate Flyme responded to the marriage bond.

08:17That's all anyone needs to know.

08:18The bruise on my neck was already dark.

08:20A healer offered to treat it.

08:22Leave it.

08:22I went back to Lucien's room.

08:24He was still.

08:25But the black silver scales on his hand had not faded.

08:28His dragon blood was fighting something.

08:29The curse.

08:30The medicine.

08:31Maybe both.

08:32I sat beside him.

08:33I don't know if you can hear me.

08:36But I'm not leaving.

08:37His fingers moved.

08:38Barely.

08:39The news reached Crown Tower before noon.

08:41Kaelin was sparring when a servant ran in.

08:43Your highness.

08:45Dravenmoor's mate Flyme answered Freya last night.

08:47Kaelin stopped mid-swing.

08:48The whole northern sky lit up.

08:51Gold fire burst from Kaelin's palm.

08:54The training post shattered.

08:55He 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.

09:10Careful, Kaelin.

09:12People 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.

09:21And send a message to the royal pharmacy.

09:23Any requests from Dravenmoor go through my office first.

09:38The cathedral is in the palace contra menном校,

09:41and if he chose the alleged brutalRP,

09:41and he found this bride to wear a surrender of the cancer.

09:41Exactly, Kaelin has dweltmoor.

09:41TheUS-k":

09:41.

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 parlor.

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.

11:20I 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.

11:29Send Rowan.

11:30Let my son teach her what happens to lonely wives in this house.

11:57Rowan Vos waited outside my chamber door.

11:59He smelled of wine.

12:01Lady Dravenmoor.

12:02I stopped.

12:03Come 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 Lucian'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 Lucian's medicine.

12:51He looked up, shaking.

12:52She knows who kept him asleep.

12:53And Crown Tower knows she knows.

13:24It was the same time as nuke let her.

13:29But if they had a cell phone中, she would not forget her.

13:29Wednesday that bed was the same.

13:34She knows what she is.

13:35We've been checking her out after this.

13:35She is simply sending out teaching her to fill her pocket.

13:35And, back there, she can her.

13:36Cottage.

13:36That's not good, she's she knows who's seen.

13:52That can help you, Mrs.

13:52I like her friend Sticker bearts getting stimulated with me to try.

13:52If you don't love me.

13:52You can sayеня song next day and she didn't freak out.

13:53Because catch a few times and I ask her controversies.

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.

14:26Salona 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.

14:39Then 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.

15:01The medicine bowl had split in half. Black 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.

15:10Not 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 Draganmore Keep

15:19to evaluate Duke 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,

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

15:35He was using his nephew's health as the excuse.

15:38Then we have three days.

16:05One day later, I was going to pull the trust in me, no one of them, and I was going

16:14to have

16:14.

19:36.

19:37.

19:37was leaving one day early. I locked the chamber door and sat beside Lucian. I can handle Selina.

19:42I can handle the servants and the whispers. But I can't fight your nephew and the crown at the

19:47same time. Not alone. His hand was warm. The scales pulsed. I need you to wake up. Silence.

19:52Then his fingers closed around mine. Freya. His dark gold eyes opened. Who came into my keep and

19:58thought he could question my wife for protecting me. Lucian sat up in bed. Black silver flame

20:03tore through the room. He looked at the bruise on my neck. Who did this? You. When your dragon blood

20:09broke through. He touched the bruise. Black silver light wrapped around my neck. It faded under his

20:14hand. Outside, every dragon torch in Dravenmore keep lit at once. The whole northern sky burned

20:19silver. In Crown Tower, a rider burst through the gate. Your Highness, Dragon Onmore's fire just lit

20:26the northern line. All of it. Caelan stood up. The Duke is awake. Caelan's cup shattered in his hand.

20:34Caelan Mount должен for the receptionistaggi. D coulmett was Kirchenshenik,

22:03.

22:33.

23:04.

23:10.

23:21.

23:22The Royal Medical Delegation arrived before noon. They expected a sleeping Duke. They found Lucian Dravenmore seated in the main

23:28hall. He leaned on a cane. His face was pale, but black-silver pressure filled the room.

23:33The candles bent sideways. The late physician swallowed.

23:37.

23:38.

23:39.

23:40.

23:41.

24:03.

24:04.

24:04watched him disappear into the dark road. I could stop him, but I didn't. I want to see who will

24:09answer. Later, Lucian found me by the chamber fire. How much did they make you carry alone?

24:14His jaw tightened. I'll start carrying it with you.

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

26:10tax books, supply lists, military payment rolls. By noon, the truth was on the table.

26:15Northern rider pay was cut for eight months. Winter grain was marked as delivered, but the storehouses

26:20never received it. He placed another page down. And this money went to the gilded den. Rowan's name

26:25was written beside the account. Selene gripped her sleeve. My husband died for this house.

26:30I raised my son here. I made sacrifices. Lucian looked at her. You sold my soldier's food and

26:36called it sacrifice? I 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 him. Lucian

26:51tapped the ledger. Rowan Vos goes to the dungeon until I decide his sentence. You can't do this to

26:57family. Family does not touch my wife, steal from my riders, or poison my house. The guards took him

27:03away. Selene Vox is removed from all household authority. She will remain under guard in the

27:10east wing. Then he turned to me. The accounts are yours now. Every servant in the hall dropped to one

27:15knee. For the first time, they were not kneeling because Lucian had woken. They were kneeling because

27:21I had won.

27:27.

27:28.

27:57.

34:34.

34:35.

34:36.

34:37.

34:37from his hand. Half the desk burned before the guards could move. He threw out my delegation?

34:42The messenger shook. Yes, your highness. Lady Selina has been confined. Rowan Vos is in the

34:46dungeon. Caelan's eyes went gold. Freya did this. Lucien did this. Freya gave him the knife. Later,

34:53Queen Marion called House Marion into her private chamber. If Lucien speaks of the northern war

34:58front, every old wound opens. A lord leaned close. Then we strike first. At court, accuse him of

35:03hiding troops, ignoring royal summons and using illness to build power in the north. At the

35:08same time, Caelan went to King Alaric. Father, Uncle Lucien just woke from a curse. He should

35:12return to the royal citadel for treatment. You sound very concerned. Caelan's mouth tightened. He is

35:17family. Across the hall, Princess Anya heard enough. That night, she found Edric Ravenshade near the

35:22chapel. Your 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.

35:37The one Freya married. Tell Lady Dravenmore the queen is moving first.

36:13Theyak Lafort料

36:13The one Freya married. She was mothers to pick up. And the one Freya married.

36:32Dolly entschieden her in your life, taking place to theciaate night. As a guy who sins

36:33and As a man because sheré came in, she signs low for father and Schoss wasn't allowed quiet.

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

36:54One burst split the bedpost

36:56Another cracked the stone wall

36:58I worked his legs every morning

36:59Mixed the new medicine myself

37:01On the fourth night, the flame surged before I could move

37:03The force threw me against the floor

37:05My arm hit broken stone

37:07Blood ran to my wrist

37:08Lucian froze

37:09The fire died at once

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

37:13It's a scratch

37:14I 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

37:24He stared at me for a long second

37:26You should not only be ready to suffer

37:28His thumb brushed my bandage

37:30You 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

38:00.

38:01.

38:02.

38:30.

39:00.

39:30.

39:31.

39:32.

39:34.

39:35.

39:39.

40:01.

40:02.

40:15.

40:16.

40:16days later. King Alaric's seal. Royal parchment. No room to refuse. Gareth read it in the hall.

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

40:26citadel. The servants looked at me. Lucian took the letter. So they finally want us in the open.

40:32It could be a trap. It is a trap. Then we should not go. If I refuse, they call it

40:37rebellion. If

40:38I go, they have to face me in front of the king. He looked at me. And I have things

40:42to show my

40:43brother. That night, I packed the evidence myself. Selene's ledgers. The medicine logs. The payment

40:49trail to the royal pharmacy. Every page that tied Dravenmore's sickness to crown tower and the royal

40:55citadel. Mira tied the case shut. Are you afraid? I looked at the royal seal. I died in that city

41:01once.

41:03Mira went quiet. I'm not going back as that girl.

41:08Before dawn, I found Lucian on the tower. Royal citadel was far beyond the dark hills.

41:15Caelan will be there. So will the queen.

41:19And me. He offered his hand. I took it. This time,

41:22I was not walking into crown tower alone.

41:39We returned to the royal citadel under black silver banners. The streets went quiet first.

41:44Then everyone started whispering. Lucian Dravenmore was not dead. And I was not the

41:48ruined girl crown tower once threw away. Northern dragon riders rode on both sides of

41:52our carriage. Gareth led them with one hand on his sword. At the palace gate, Caelan stood

41:56above the steps. He looked at Lucian's cane. Then he looked at me. I looked past him.

42:01That hurt him more. Queen Marianne held a welcome feast that night. Duke Lucian,

42:06Valeria is relieved to see you awake. Relieved enough to send her a suckon?

42:10Her smile tightened. The king missed his brother. Then we are happy to answer his majesty. We brought

42:15everything he needs to see. Her eyes moved to the locked case beside my chair. How thoughtful.

42:20After dinner, Princess Anya caught my sleeve near the corridor. Madam Corvig has been going to the

42:24royal archive every night. I stopped. Whatever you brought, she may be trying to burn the matching half.

42:31That night, Lucian closed our chamber door. Edric confirmed it. The original letter

42:37about your father's march is still sealed in the archive. Can we get it? Only the king

42:42can open that vault. Then we make him want to.

43:02It is. Another one, the two, the two, the two, the nine, four, the other, four. That's,

43:20for example, when we're wrong. Now, what we don't have to do in the archive. We wait

43:20for the about- it'six. You've got to be all- the two, the three, the one, four, the nine.

43:20And, second, I'm sorry. That's fine.

43:26One, I'm sorry. So, I saw you. The blue, the two, the three. The white, the thorn

43:31.

44:05The autumn court filled the royal hall by sunrise. Dragon lords, human nobles, crown loyalists. Lucian entered with a cane.

44:12The room still bowed. Black silver pressure rolled over the floor. Even House Marianne's men stopped smiling. Caelan sat in

44:18the 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 overseaher in Drevenmore.

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 ledgers records for Sir Nervos and her son.

44:45King Alaric read in silence. Reports can be dressed up. So can treason.

44:49The lord froze. King Alaric lowered the report.

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?

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.

45:13For once, Caelan had no answer.

45:19D

45:19Who birds can never paiishes?

45:24Yes, sir.

45:24What?

45:43How did day now come back?

45:48.

46:20.

46:22.

46:24.

46:27.

46:31.

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.

47:20A human duchess among dragonhounds.

47:23Valeria 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.

47:38Freya'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.

48:17in a moment,

48:20there was only one more time in her,

48:21there must have been a water against her.

48:25It had been such great.

48:25Through a full-time.

48:33And if there were no more anything,

48:34there were no more.

48:34Who'd have been tricked in the area.

48:40You had to make it work.

48:42It was good to talk.

48:42He was good to take care of my father.

48:42They told me,

48:42I'm sick.

48:44I'm sick.

48:44Anya's warning was real.

48:45Edric checked the Royal Archive records for me.

48:48Three nights.

48:50Three visits.

48:52Madame Corvin entered the sealed wing each time with a Marianne clerk.

48:55The exit list is wrong.

48:57Files went in.

48:58Fewer came out.

48:59Which files?

49:00Northern Warfront.

49:01Ashpington Marching Routes.

49:03Dragonblood Curse Reports.

49:04Lucien's hand tightened on his cane.

49:06They are destroying the trail.

49:08Then we split it.

49:09Lucien 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.

49:31Don't yell.

49:32I know it looks stupid.

49:34She pulled the cloth aside.

49:36Three copied letters lay under the flowers.

49:38My hands went cold.

49:39One 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 Marriand.

49:48Mira stared at it.

49:49My lady, that's the queen's family.

49:53I closed the letters.

49:55Not just her family.

49:58Lucien entered before dawn.

50:00The king agreed to open the vault tomorrow.

50:01I handed him the copies.

50:03Good.

50:04His face changed as he read.

50:07Because now we know what they'll try to hide.

50:09You know what they'll try to hide.

50:12You know what they'll try to hide.

50:14You know what they'll try to hide.

50:15You know what they'll try to hide.

50:16You know what they'll try to hide.

50:17You know what they'll try to hide.

50:18You know what they'll try to hide.

50:19You know what they'll try to hide.

50:21You know what they'll try to hide.

50:23You know what they'll try to hide.

50:32.

51:02.

51:32.

51:36.

51:37.

51:39She pulled the cloth aside.

51:42Three copies .
