Short filmTranscript
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.
00:32Freya, 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.
01:01Years 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.
01:18One 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 Draenmoor. 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 Draenmoor fell coma since year ago on the northern warfront. 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 Draenmoor 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 Draenmoor
03:02or no one.
03:03I 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
03:15have him.
03:16So be it. Your bloodline is gone. Lucian cannot answer for himself. My queen will arrange the wedding for you
03:23too.
03:24I 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. I'll save him this
03:42time.
03:42We'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. Dragonflowers 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.
04:29He looked me over from crown to shoes, as if searching for the girl who used to chase him through
04:33these halls.
04:34That's all?
04:34In my last life, I knew his every habit. I baked honey cakes for him. I waited outside Crown Tower
04:40just 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.
04:51I 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.
05:35My wedding to Lucian 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, Darrenmore receives you with honor.
05:48In my last life, Crown Tower never gave me this much respect.
05:52Some nobles called it widowhood with a title. I 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.
06:03Lucian Dravenmore lay on the bed, pale and silent.
06:06But even unconscious, he did not look weak.
06:08His sharp features, silver black hair and quiet dragon pressure,
06:12made him seem less like a dying man and more like a sleeping dragon.
06:15My lady, I prepared another room for you.
06:17I looked at Lucian, 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.
06:27The 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.
06:36I 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.
06:44Black silver scales erupted along his neck.
06:46Windows cracked. His hand shot up and caught my throat.
06:49Not gentle, not soft. Dragon fire exploded from his body, scorching the ceiling and bed frame.
06:54I gasped, gripping his wrist.
06:56Lucian.
06:57His fingers burned against my skin, yet he didn't push me away.
07:15Queen Marianne heard me out instantly.
07:19His eyes were still closed, but his grip was tightening.
07:21black silver flame tore across the ceiling the bed frame split i grabbed his wrist
07:28it's me it's freya his fingers burned against my skin then the fire pulled back his hand dropped
07:34the room went dark outside draven more keep erupted shouts running boots dragon flame
07:40lighting up the sky gareth broke through the door my lady i touched my neck it was bruised
07:46lucian lay still again but his breathing had changed deeper stronger the curse had cracked
07:51but whatever was underneath was not gentle i didn't know if i had started to wake him up
07:56or started something worse by dawn healers filled the hall gareth 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 that's all anyone needs to know the bruise on
08:19my neck was already dark a healer offered to treat it leave it i went back to lucian's room he
08:25was
08:25still but the black silver scales on his hand had not faded his dragon blood was fighting something
08:30the curse the medicine maybe both i sat beside him i don't know if you can hear me but i'm
08:36not
08:37leaving his fingers moved barely the news reached crown tower before noon cailin was sparring when a
08:42servant ran in your highness dravenmore's mate flame answered freya last night cailin stopped mid
08:48swing the whole northern sky lit up gold fire burst from cailin's palm the training post shattered
08:55he thought the wedding would humiliate me instead all of royal citadel was talking about how dravenmore's
09:01dragon blood had chosen a human bride princess anya walked in so it's true she looked at the burned
09:07post they say freya looked more like a duchess than a widow careful cailin people might think you're
09:13the one who got left behind that afternoon cailin called his steward the ashborough war records we
09:20archived move them to the sealed vault and send a message to the royal pharmacy any requests from

10:59the medicine logs some herbs were not healing lucian they were suppressing his dragon blood he wasn't
11:04too weak to wake someone was keeping him asleep i needed the source records where the herbs came
11:08from who ordered them the trail pointed to the royal pharmacy i sent a rider to request the purchase
11:13records the rider came back empty-handed crown tower denied the request they said all pharmaceutical
11:18inquiries from dravenmore require approval from the crown prince's office i understood celine's
11:22confidence didn't come from dravenmore it came from crown tower that night celine heard i had
11:27found the local records for the first time she stopped smiling send rowan let my son teach her
11:32what happens to lonely wives in this house
11:57rowan boss waited outside my chamber door he smelled of wine
12:01lady dravenmore i stopped come on your husband can't even open his eyes don't waste your youth on
12:08a sleeping man he stepped closer selena runs this keep i am her son you are just the human bride
12:15they sent to warm lucian's bed then i slapped him servants rushed over no one dared speak rowan wiped
12:20blood from his lip my mother will hear about this good tell lady selena i saved her the trouble
12:27his face twisted my mother your mother failed to raise you that makes it my problem now i turned to
12:33the hall freya gareth put him in the lower water cell by morning maybe he'll remember whose keep this is
12:41the guards moved toward rowan that was when the whole keep understood i was lady dravenmore
12:46below the keep rowan shook in freezing water my mother knows about lucian's medicine he looked up
12:51shaking she knows who kept him asleep and crown tower knows she knows
13:27just don'tבר around tell you that she knew how to do if we're in the fallen ever so high
13:27her status is iced from the intuition to give her back to her door and the room
13:27she's developed a wonderful natural view of the olika st евrelia Jesus
13:27she said oh boy no he was taunting him because it was asking you mining
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. Selina sat at the high table, calm as
14:28ever.
14:29Freya, 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 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.
14:54You 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. Black silver fire burned
15:04across 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. Not a personal note. An official order with the royal stamp.
15:14Gareth 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.
15:24The room went quiet.
15:25When?
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.
15:36He was using his nephew's health as the excuse.
15:39Then we have three days.
16:11And I think they used to get involved a couple of nosels on the day.
16:14They were d upset with me.

19:38.
19:38One day early, I locked the chamber door and sat beside Lucian.
19:42I can handle Selina.
19:43I can handle the servants and the whispers.
19:45But I can't fight your nephew and the crown at the same time.
19:48Not alone.
19:48His hand was warm.
19:49The scales pulsed.
19:51I need you to wake up.
19:52Silence.
19:53Then his fingers closed around mine.
19:55Freya.
19:55His dark gold eyes opened.
19:57Who came into my keep and thought he could question my wife for protecting me.
20:01Lucian sat up in bed.
20:02Black silver flame tore through the room.
20:04He looked at the bruise on my neck.
20:06Who did this?
20:07You.
20:08When your dragon blood broke through.
20:10He touched the bruise.
20:11Black silver light wrapped around my neck.
20:13It faded under his hand.
20:14Outside, every dragon torch in Dravenmore keep lit at once.
20:17The 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.
20:27All of it.
20:28Caelan stood up.
20:28The duke is awake.
20:30Caelan's cup shattered in his hand.
20:47I don't know.
21:07The duke is awake.
21:08In the North, everyone of입sburg last night.
21:08.
21:38.
22:08.
22:38.
23:22The Royal Medical Delegation arrived before noon. They expected a sleeping Duke. They found Lucian Dravenmore seated in the main
23:29hall. He leaned on a cane. His face was pale, but black-silver pressure filled the room so hard the
23:34candles bent sideways. The late physician swallowed.
23:37.
23:37.
23:37.
23:38.
23:38.
23:38.

34:34tower by nightfall. Caelan read the report once, then goldfire burst from his hand. Half
34:38the 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. Rowan Vos is in the dungeon.
34:47Caelan's eyes went gold.
34:49Freya did this.
34:50Lucian did this. Freya gave him the knife.
34:53Later, Queen Marian called House Marian into her private chamber.
34:56If Lucian speaks of the northern war front, every old wound opens.
35:00A lord leaned close.
35:01Then we strike first.
35:02At court, accuse him of hiding troops, ignoring royal summons and using illness to build power in the north.
35:08At the same time, Caelan went to King Alaric.
35:10Father, Uncle Lucian just woke from a curse. He 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. That night, she found Edric Ravenshade near the chapel.
35:23Your cousin is walking into a trap.
35:25Which cousin?
35:27The one Freya married. Try to keep up.
35:29Edric's face changed.
35:30Send word to Dravenmore. Tell Lady Dravenmore the Queen is moving first.
36:27Welcome to King Alaric.
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.
37:00Mixed 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.
37:27You 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.
38:27He was speaking as a duke.
38:27He was speaking as a duke.
38:28He was speaking as a duke.
38:28.
38:58.
39:28.
39:58.
39:59.
40:01.
40:14The summons arrive three days later.
40:17King Alaric's seal.
40:18Royal 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.
40:31So they finally want us in the open.
40:33It could be a trap.
40:34It is a trap.
40:35Then we should not go.
40:36If I refuse, they call it rebellion.
40:38If I go, they have to face me in front of the King.
40:41He looked at me.
40:42And I have things to show my brother.
40:43That night I packed the evidence myself.
40:47Selene's ledgers.
40:48The 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.
40:58Are you afraid?
40:59I 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.
41:17So 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.
41:45Then 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.
42:17Her 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.
42:50It's the últimos two times.
42:50Yes, and I am if it would penso the mountains the sky.
42:57No action.
42:57The dead었어요!
43:01Now the también , the
43:16All right.
43:16Your ultimate favourite.
43:16The only offspring get one person.
43:19In the beginning of this stage.
43:19.
44:06The 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.
44:18Caelan sat in the prince's seat, gold fire flickering under his skin. A Marianne lord stepped forward first.
44:24Your majesty, Duke Lucian has been absent from court for a year. His private dragon riders remain under northern command.
44:29Valeria needs a royal oversee her in Drevenmore.
44:31The 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 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
44:52report.
44:53The 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
45:09to the king.
45:10I stepped around him. This has nothing to do with you. For once, Caelan had no answer.
45:59Just a moment for three minutes.
46:02.
46:48The 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, 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.
47:08That 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.
47:21A 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.
47:42Human 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 restraint.
48:44Anya's warning was real.
48:46Edric checked the Royal Archive records for me.
48:48Three nights.
48:50Three visits.
48:52Madam Corvin entered the sealed wing each time with a Marianne clerk.
48:56The exit list is wrong.
48:58Files went in.
48:59Fewer came out.
49:00Which files?
49:00Northern Warfront.
49:01Ashpington marching routes.
49:03Dragon blood curse reports.
49:05Lucian'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.
49:32Don't yell.
49:33I 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.
49:46The last carried a red wax seal.
49:47House Marriand.
49:49Mira stared at it.
49:50My lady.
49:51That's the queen's family.
49:53I closed the letters.
49:56Not just her family.
49:58Lucian entered before dawn.
50:00The king agreed to open the vault tomorrow.
50:02I handed him the copies.
50:04Good.
50:05His face changed as he read.
50:07Because now we know what they'll try to hide.
50:24Everybody looks like.
50:25.
50:55.
51:25.
51:26.
51:26.
51:27.
51:27.
51:28.
51:29.
51:29.
51:37Don't yell.
51:38I know it looks stupid.
51:40She pulled the cloth aside.
51:42Three copy .
51:43.
51:43.
