Transcript

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

00:05breeding blood, the rarest kind in 300 years. At my mating ceremony, I crawled

00:10past the sacred gold offerings and grabbed Crown Prince Caelan between his

00:14pants. This little whore could be a clingy breeder in the future. He was wrong.

00:22Caelan and I became enemies. For 10 years I watched his dragon eyes learn to hate

00:26my scent. On 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. Before I could

00:36answer, Caelan's voice cut across the hall. I would rather be torn apart by wild

00:41dragon knees than mate her. Something 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. I

00:52thought he didn't mean it. Our betrothal ceremony was beautiful, but Caelan never

00:56gave me a glance. Your scent makes me sick. Years passed. I gave him no air. The court

01:03stopped bowing. Dragonborn ladies spat in my food, ripped my gowns and called me a

01:08barren human leech. Caelan only smiled. Then I heard him say it. She forced this

01:13marriage. She deserves karma. No one should pity her. One week later, he threw me into the

01:20velvet quarter. A useless breeder belongs in a pleasure house. I died there, bloody and left

01:26like rotten meat. His figure was the last thing I saw. He never looked back. Then light split

01:31open. I woke on cold marble, gasping. I was reborn at my mating ceremony. Freya, choose any

01:39dragon lord in Valeria. I will grant him to you. The royal citadel. The feast. I would not risk my

01:45life

01:45on Caelan again. I took a deep breath. Your majesty. I respect the crown prince as someone

01:51I grew up with. Like a brother. I never wanted him. Not as a man. Not as a husband. My

01:58heart

01:58only belongs to dragon crook Lufeci Andreanmore. 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

02:09dragon. 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. Hurt by an unseen blade with

02:26curse. The healers said he would never wake. I knew they were wrong. In my last life, Lucian woke during

02:32my third year in hellish marriage. When dragonborn ladies had cornered me in the kitchens, they laughed,

02:38tore my sleeves, and called me a barren human leech. Then a broken dragon rose from his wheeled

02:43chair. Lucian Dravenmore stood between us. Half 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

03:01Dravenmore or no one. I hit my forehead on the floor. Once and once again. The court went quiet. Only

03:07left the sound of my bones crack. Queen Marianne smiled like she had been handed a gift. If the human

03:12girl wants a sleeping dragon, let her have him. So be it. Your bloodline is gone. Lucian cannot

03:19answer for himself. My queen will arrange the wedding for you too. I rose my bloody forehead

03:25and crumbling stood up. I am humbled beyond speech. I did not look at Caelan. I only felt his gold

03:32fire

03:32burning behind me. Let him burn. I would never choose him again. Lucian is way better than Caelan.

03:38Last life, though he's still weak. He's nice to me. I'll save him this time. We'll claw our way out

03:43of this

03:43shithole. Together. For three days, I slept like someone freed from a cage. Then came the knock at

03:50Ashbourne Hall. The queen commands your presence at the royal citadel tonight. My blood went cold. At

03:57dusk, Madame Corvin led me through the royal corridors. Dragonflowers scented the stone. Then

04:03she stopped and bowed. Your 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.

04:25Beautiful in the cruel Valorian way. Your highness. He looked me over from crown to shoes, as if

04:31searching for the girl who used to chase him through these halls. That's all? In my last life,

04:35I knew his every habit. I baked honey cakes for him. I waited outside crown tower just to hand them

04:40over. He always tossed them to the palace drakes. Stop this pathetic chase, Freya. You are marrying

04:46my uncle now. Try to have some dignity. You disgust me. I am not chasing anyone. I was only telling

04:53the

04:53truth to your king father. I do not love you. Then you wandered into the royal family's private wing

04:58by accident? The queen summoned me. Ask Madame Corvin. His gold fire flared. So it was true. I had not

05:03come

05:03for him. My uncle is a corpse with a title. You may be a widow before your wedding bed

05:10even cools. Then I will be the happiest widow in Valoria. His 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

05:36to Lucien Dravenmore was set for one week later. Dravenmore's black silver banners stretched across

05:42the road as Gareth Thorne bowed before me. Lady Ashborough, Darrenmore receives you with honor.

05:48In my last life, crown tower never gave me this much respect. Some nobles called it widowhood with

05:53a title. I ignored them. Dravenmore 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. Lucien Dravenmore lay

06:04on the bed, pale and silent. But even unconscious, he did not look weak. His sharp features, silver black hair,

06:10and quiet dragon pressure, made him seem less like a dying man and more like a sleeping dragon.

06:15My lady, I prepared another room for you. I looked at Lucien, my heart steady despite the tension.

06:19No. He is my husband now. I'll stay here. The room went silent. After they left, I sat beside him.

06:26The air itself seemed to hold its breath. I leaned closer, feeling the subtle warmth of his body

06:31beneath the thin sheets. You're asleep anyway, so this doesn't count. I lowered my head and kissed him.

06:37His lips were warm. For a heartbeat, nothing happened. Then the air broke open. Dark pressure

06:42slammed through the room. Black silver scales erupted along his neck. Windows cracked. His hand shot up

06:48and caught my throat. Not gentle, not soft. Dragon fire exploded from his body, scorching the ceiling

06:53and bed frame. I gasped, gripping his wrist. Lucien. His fingers burned against my skin,

06:58yet he didn't push me away. Queen Marianne heard me out inside.

07:18His eyes were still closed, but his grip was tightening. Black silver flame tore across the ceiling.

07:24The bed frame split. I grabbed his wrist. It's me. It's Freya.

07:30His fingers burned against my skin. Then the fire pulled back. His hand dropped. The room went dark.

07:36Outside, Draven Moor keep erupted. Shouts. Running boots. Dragon flame lighting up the sky.

07:41Gareth broke through the door. My lady.

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

07:50The curse had cracked, but whatever was underneath was not gentle. I didn't know if I had started to

07:55wake him up or started something worse. By dawn, healers filled the hall. Gareth locked down the entire

08:01floor.

08:10No one tells the royal citadel what happened last night. The mate Flyam responded to the marriage bond.

08:16That's all anyone needs to know. The bruise on my neck was already dark. A healer offered to treat it.

08:22Leave it. I went back to Lucien's room. He was still, but the black silver scales on his hand had

08:27not faded.

08:27His 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. His fingers moved. Barely.

08:39The news reached Crown Tower before noon. Caelan was sparring when a servant ran in.

08:43Your highness, Draven Moor's mate flame answered Freya last night.

08:47Caelan stopped mid-swing. The whole northern sky lit up.

08:51Goldfire 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 Draven Moor's dragon blood had chosen a human bride.

09:03Princess Anya walked in. So it's true. She looked at the burned post.

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

09:10Careful, Caelan. People might think you're the one who got left behind.

09:16That afternoon, Caelan called his steward. The Ashborough war records we archived,

09:20move them to the sealed vault and send a message to the royal pharmacy.

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

10:02If you know what happened, I'm sorry to go through my office first.

10:12And this is actually the whole house of Charlene Moor.

10:12The night of the house of Charlene Moor is still standing with a promise.

10:12I'm just a guard.

10:13I've got a guard.

10:13I'm just a guard.

10:14I'm just a guard.

10:16I'm just a guard.

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.

10:33Davinmoor Keep is not Seleneva Lavasse'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 Lucien's healer records, medicine ledgers, and night watch lists now.

10:46Selene 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.

10:56By sunset, I found the first problem in the medicine logs.

10:59Some herbs were not healing Lucien.

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.

11:13The 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.

12:06Don't waste your youth on a sleeping man.

12:09He stepped closer.

12:10Selene runs this keep.

12:11I am her son.

12:13You are just the human bride they sent to warm Lucien's bed.

12:16Then I slapped him.

12:17Servants rushed over.

12:18No 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.

12:26His face twisted.

12:28My mother!

12:28Your mother failed to raise you.

12:31That makes it my problem now.

12:32I 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.

12:40The 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.

12:48My mother knows about Lucien's medicine.

12:51He looked up, shaking.

12:52She knows who kept him asleep.

12:53And Crown Tower knows she knows.

13:33The comfortable proper when I told you the Maxine된女 Stick a little water Agora.

13:33She noticed that he doesn't cover her hand.

13:34There's no wow mother she knows.

13:42The Frenchmanczas feedback.

13:43I didn't want her to cover her head.

13:45I ran from her

14:03At dawn, Gareth brought me Rowan's confession.

14:05He 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. 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.

14:37I 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.

14:48From 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.

15:04Lucian'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 Caelan, 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.

15:23The room went quiet.

15:24When?

15:26Three days.

15:27I looked at the letter. If Caelan'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.

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

15:38Then we have three days.

15:45Running out today.

15:49The fighting out now, theальная frowned

16:05I didn't get there regularly yet.

16:05Then we have one room for my mastermind.

16:05I have four days.

16:05I have my own house for Venice's pian Понjamings.

16:05You have been pricing for Venice'seszkad problems now.

16:05I believe that's too many hours.

16:08And this is still impossible for me.

16:11So you can value our powers that internally?

16:13.

16:43.

17:13.

17:43.

18:13.

18:43.

18:44.

18:45.

18:47.

18:51.

18:52.

18:53.

18:54.

18:56.

19:00.

19:01.

19:02.

19:03.

19:05.

19:08.

19:11.

19:12.

19:13.

19:14.

19:15.

19:16.

19:17.

19:25.

19:26.

19:27.

19:34.

19:36.

19:37.

19:38.

19:39.

19:40.

19:41.

19:41I can handle Selina. I can handle the servants and the whispers.

19:45But I can't fight your nephew and the crown at the same time. Not alone.

19:48His hand was warm. The scales pulsed.

19:50I need you to wake up.

19:51Silence.

19:52Then his fingers closed around mine.

19:54Freya.

19:55His dark gold eyes opened.

19:56Who came into my keep and thought he could question my wife for protecting me?

20:01Lucian sat up in bed. Black silver flame tore through the room.

20:04He looked at the bruise on my neck.

20:05Who did this?

20:07You. When your dragon blood broke through.

20:10He touched the bruise. Black silver light wrapped around my neck.

20:13It faded under his hand. Outside, 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. All of it.

20:27Caelan stood up.

20:28The Duke is awake.

20:29Caelan's cup shattered in his hand.

20:42Other Cube is a semi-spoken project.

20:42In Glück.

21:09In the

21:10.

21:40.

22:10.

22:40.

23:21The 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 so hard the

23:34candles bent sideways. The late physician swallowed.

23:37Your Grace, Crown Prince Caelan sent us to review your treatment. Lucian looked at him.

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

23:44No one answered.

23:45The Crown is concerned for your health. My wife kept me alive while your prince tried to take control of

23:52my medicine. From today on, Dravenmore's healers answer to me and Lady Davenmore, no one else.

23:56The delegation left before sunset. Céline watched from the upper hall, white-faced. That night, she sent a servant through

24:02the east gate with a sealed message. I watched him disappear into the dark road.

24:06I could stop him, but I didn't. I want to see who will answer. Later, Lucian found me by the

24:11chamber fire.

24:12How much did they make you carry alone?

24:14His jaw tightened.

24:17I'll start carrying it with you.

24:46You can do all theares.

24:46I'll start carrying it with you.

24:46You can see whom I was at a second and then after the tears.

24:46The question is, you can see the top of the episodes.

24:47You can see theºical moments that I am going to catch it.

24:47You can see the more of his colors.

24:47Can you see the top-throw.

24:47The one view is...

24:50What if you see the light, you see the cool thing...

24:52It's a.

25:00I don't know the light, but the light...

25:02It's a light.

25:03.

25:33.

26:05At dawn, Lucian ordered the ledgers sealed.

26:08Gareth brought iron boxes from Selene's office, tax books, supply lists, military payment rolls.

26:13By noon, the truth was on the table.

26:15Northern Rider pay was cut for eight months.

26:18Wintergrain was marked as delivered, but the storehouses never received it.

26:21He placed another page down.

26:23And this money went to the Gilded Den.

26:25Rowan's name was written beside the account.

26:27Selene gripped her sleeve.

26:28My husband died for this house.

26:30I raised my son here. I made sacrifices.

26:33Lucian looked at her.

26:34You sold my soldiers food and called it sacrifice?

26:38I protected Drevenmoor while you slept.

26:40No.

26:41You fed off it.

26:43The hall went silent.

26:45Rowan was dragged in, bruised and terrified.

26:48Mother, say something!

26:49Selene did not look at him. Lucian tapped the ledger.

26:52Rowan Vos goes to the dungeon until I decide his sentence.

26:56You can't do this to family!

26:57Family does not touch my wife, steal from my riders, or poison my house.

27:02The guards took him away.

27:05Selene Vox is removed from all household authority.

27:08She will remain under guard in the east wing.

27:10Then he turned to me.

27:12The accounts are yours now.

27:13Every servant in the hall dropped to one knee.

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

27:19They were kneeling because I had won.

27:27He was하신.

27:45He was straight to the middle of his life.

27:46He was making a big hit!

27:46He was able to come up in the hall of my days.

27:46He was on a black side and his dad.

27:47He I was a man running for a lot of people.

27:48The other day, he worked out for some people.

27:56.

28:26.

28:56.

29:26.

29:56.

30:26.

30:56.

31:26.

31:56.

32:26.

32:56.

33:26.

33:56.

34:26.

34:32The news reached Crown Tower by nightfall.

34:34Caelan read the report once, then gold fire burst from his hand.

34:38Half the desk burned before the guards could move.

34:40He threw out my delegation?

34:41The messenger shook.

34:43Yes, your highness.

34:43Lady Selina has been confined.

34:45Rowan Vos is in the dungeon.

34:47Caelan's eyes went gold.

34:48Freya did this.

34:50Lucien did this.

34:51Freya gave him the knife.

34:53Later, Queen Marian called House Marian into her private chamber.

34:56If Lucien speaks of the northern war front, every old wound opens.

35:00A lord leaned close.

35:01Then we strike first.

35:02At court, accuse him of hiding troops, ignoring royal summons and using illness to build power in the north.

35:07At the same time, Caelan went to King Alaric.

35:09Father, Uncle Lucien just woke from a curse.

35:12He should return to the royal citadel for treatment.

35:14You sound very concerned.

35:16Caelan's mouth tightened.

35:17He is family.

35:18Across the hall, Princess Anya heard enough.

35:20That night, she found Edric Ravenshade near the chapel.

35:23Your cousin is walking into a trap.

35:25Which cousin?

35:26The one Freya married.

35:28Try to keep up.

35:28Edric's face changed.

35:30Send word to Dravenmore.

35:31Tell Lady Dravenmore the Queen is moving first.

35:56is cut in and off the road.

35:56is cut.

36:24The penny relief changes,

36:46Lucian

36:47Lucian could stand now, not long, not without pain.

36:49His dragon blood had broken the curse, but the damage stayed in his legs.

36:52Some nights his fire turned wild. One burst split the bedpost. Another cracked the stone wall.

36:58I worked his legs every morning, mixed the new medicine myself.

37:01On the fourth night the flame surged before I could move. The force threw me against the floor.

37:06My arm hit broken stone. Blood ran to my wrist. Lucian froze. The fire died at once.

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

37:13It's a scratch.

37:15I hurt you.

37:16The curse hurt me, not you.

37:19Do not make this sound easy.

37:20I wrapped cloth around my arm.

37:22I knew what I was choosing when I married you.

37:25He stared at me for a long second.

37:26You should not only be ready to suffer.

37:29His thumb brushed my bandage.

37:30You should be treated well.

37:32I stopped breathing. For the first time, he wasn't speaking as a duke. He was speaking as my husband.

37:51He said, I love his fellow man, by不好意思.

37:54He says, he's in a

37:56regardless in this type of thing, he keeps me out.

37:56He said, he wants his skin.

38:13He felt mad at me.

38:13You should never be able to attack for this Peregrine.

38:13You should not anymore.

38:14You should never be able to have his foot gezeigt.

38:15You should not ===

38:17You should not be able to kill its face of a hunger threat.

38:19You should not be besides the best side of the Cody.

38:19You should not have a sin in."

38:20You should not be seen with the rest of this head when he invited on the helicopter.

39:51.

39:52.

40:02.

40:14The summons arrive three days later.

40:16King Alaric's seal, royal parchment.

40:19No room to refuse.

40:21Gareth read it in the hall.

40:22Dragon Duke Lucian Dravenmore and Lady Freya Davenmore

40:25are commanded to attend the royal citadel.

40:27The servants looked at me.

40:29Lucian took the letter.

40:30So they finally want us in the open.

40:32It could be a trap.

40:33It is a trap.

40:35Then we should not go.

40:36If I refuse, they call it rebellion. If I go, they have to face me in front of the king.

40:40He looked at me.

40:41And I have things to show my brother.

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

40:46Selene's ledgers.

40:47The medicine logs.

40:49The payment trail to the royal pharmacy.

40:51Every page that tied Dravenmore's sickness to crown tower and the royal citadel.

40:56Mira tied the case shut.

40:57Are you afraid?

40:58I looked at the royal seal.

41:00I died in that city once.

41:03Mira went quiet.

41:04I'm not going back as that girl.

41:08Before dawn, I found Lucian on the tower.

41:11Royal citadel was far beyond the dark hills.

41:15Kaylin 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.

41:25The crown tower was far beyond the dark hills.

41:39We returned to the royal citadel under black silver banners.

41:43The streets went quiet first.

41:44Then everyone started whispering.

41:46Lucian Dravenmore was not dead.

41:47And I was not the ruined girl crown tower once threw away.

41:50Northern dragon riders rode on both sides of our carriage.

41:53Gareth led them with one hand on his sword.

41:55At the palace gate, Kaylin stood above the steps.

41:57He looked at Lucian's cane.

41:59Then he looked at me.

42:00I looked past him.

42:01That hurt him more.

42:03Queen Marianne held a welcome feast that night.

42:05Duke Lucian, Valeria is relieved to see you awake.

42:08Relieved enough to send a Russocken?

42:10Her smile tightened.

42:11The king missed his brother.

42:13Then we are happy to answer his majesty.

42:14We 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.

42:22Madame Corvik has been going to the Royal Archive every night.

42:26I stopped.

42:27Whatever you brought, she may be trying to burn the matching half.

42:31That night, Lucian closed our chamber door.

42:35Edric confirmed it.

42:36The original letter about your father's march is still sealed in the Archive.

42:40Can we get it?

42:41Only the king can open that vault.

42:46Then we make him want to.

43:02There you go.

43:22The original letter of the

43:22And maybe eventhash.

43:22.

44:05The autumn court filled the royal hall by sunrise, dragon lords, human nobles, crown loyalists, Lucien 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,

44:23Your majesty, Duke Lucien has been absent from court for a year, his private dragon riders remain under northern command,

44:28Valeria needs a royal oversea her in Drevenmoor,

44:30The hall stirred, so that was their move, call Lucien weak, call his army dangerous, put crown tower inside our

44:36key, Lucien handed Gareth's sealed report to the king's steward,

44:39Current rider count, grain stores, border patrols, tax ledgers records for Sir Nervas 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?

45:07To speak to the king.

45:10I stepped around him,

45:11This has nothing to do with you.

45:13For once, Caelan had no answer.

45:43By saying,

45:43The king of the king,

45:45He was like,

45:46The king of the king,

45:46The king of the king.

45:47The king of the king.

46:12.

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.

47:05I 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.

47:17Then Queen Marian'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.

47:29House Ashbird bled for Valeria before half these dragonhouses learned how to hold a border.

47:35Queen Marian's smile cracked.

47:38Freer's bloodline has earned its place here.

47:40A Marian 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.

47:51I 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.

48:12His silence all these years had never been meant to be burned.

48:16It had never been out of jail.

48:19He gave me an inspiration to the fight.

48:20The guardаем under the fingers are risked in the fight.

48:21He had never been moved fromceptionist to the end.

48:21He had no warning to止 him.

48:30He had never been видно and obeyed,

48:40nothingräIGN 심 zipper.

48:44Anya's warning was real. Edric checked the Royal Archive records for me.

48:48Three nights. Three visits.

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

48:55The exit list is wrong. Files went in, fewer came out.

48:59Which files?

49:00Northern Warfront, Ashbington Marching Routes, Dragonblood Curse Reports.

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

49:06They are destroying the trail.

49:08Then we split it.

49:09Lucian went to request royal access from King Alaric.

49:12I sent Edric to the old Archive clerk who had served my father.

49:16By midnight, Mira came to my room carrying a basket of white roses.

49:31Don't yell. I know it looks stupid.

49:34She pulled the cloth aside.

49:36Three copied letters lay under the flowers.

49:38My hands went cold.

49:39One letter marked my father's route through the northern pass.

49:42One 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.

49:52I closed the letters.

49:55Not just her family.

49:58Lucian entered before dawn.

49:59The 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.

50:32It's juvenile.

50:50That's the queen's family.

50:50So I went into the middle of the dugout.

50:51I'm going into the queen's family.

50:55The queen.

51:00We're not going into the queen.

51:00.

51:31.

51:32.

51:37.

51:38.

51:38,

51:38.

51:38I know it looks stupid.

51:40She pulled the cloth aside.

51:41Three copies of it.
