Short filmTranscript
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.
07:05Lucien.
07:05Lucien.
07:11Lucien.
07:11Lucien.
07:12Lucien.
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.
10:04The andes sürgs are feelings.
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 parlour.
10:31Then she can come here.
10:32The servants froze.
10:33Davenmoor Keep is not Selene Velavas' 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 nightwatch 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.
12:03I 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.
12:18No 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.
12:27His 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.
12:55She knows who loves.
12:57Okay.
13:14I'm going to see you later.
13:15I'm going to do this one.
13:18Bye.
13:18.
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. Servants stood with their heads down.
14:26Selina 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.
14:45The delivery mark belongs to your steward.
14:48Gareth stepped 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. 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.
15:13Gareth read it aloud.
15:14By the authority of Crown Prince Caelan, a royal medical delegation will be dispatched to Dragonmore Keep to evaluate Duke
15:20Lucian'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, reverse everything I
15:32had changed, put Selene's people back in charge, and I couldn't refuse. He was using his nephew's health as the
15:37excuse.
15:38Then we have three days.
16:21of the
16:22Now, I'm ready.

23:31.
23:32Black-silver pressure filled the room so hard the candles bent sideways.
23:35The late physician swallowed.
23:37Your Grace, Crown Prince Caelan 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, Dreyrenmore's healers answer to me and Lady Deryrenmore, no one else.
23:56The delegation left before sunset.
23:59Céline 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.
24:06I 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.
24:31What?
24:44I know.
24:59What?
25:01.
25:31.
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. I raised my son here. I made sacrifices.
26:34Lucian looked at her.
26:34You sold my soldiers food and called it sacrifice?
26:38I protected Drevenmoor while you slept.
26:40No. You fed off it.
26:43The hall went silent.
26:45Rowan was dragged in, bruised and terrified.
26:48Mother, say something!
26:50Selene did not look at him. Lucian tapped the ledger.
26:53Rowan 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.
27:28The two believed that I was under my mind and wasi.
27:32The two who have done wasn't removed from all my riders.
27:44All this information, is that he, the last one and after Iぬ.
27:44The one goes near me and said it's as the only one.
27:44I believe that he was on the left hand.
27:44The next two months is.
27:52The next two days later,

34:32The news reached Crown Tower by nightfall.
34:34Caelan read the report once, then goldfire burst from his hand.
34:38Half the desk burned before the guards could move.
34:40He threw out my delegation?
34:42The 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.
34:52Later, Queen Marion called House Marion 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.
35:03Accused 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.
35:22Your 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.
35:32Tell Lady Dravenmore the Queen is moving first.
35:52chez you.
35:54Even in one substantive scene.
35:55T ал되 thấy stressed out.
36:21Even with cycle and having the father, she's coming in up between the two wolves and the Google
36:22pit walult and municipal dona, they'd have to get to the moon brought to the moon.
36:22A man is alsocare that the Richard and Uma.
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, one burst split the bedpost, another cracked the stone
36:57wall.
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, blood ran to my wrist, Lucian froze.
37:09The fire died at once, he 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.
37:21I 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, he was speaking as my husband.
37:48He was speaking as a duke.
37:48I was thinking as a duke.
37:51He was sitting above and sit on my head.
37:51He was waiting for me, I was waiting for you.
37:51He was sitting above and I couldn't see him because he knew his feet.
38:05He was waiting for me for you.
38:05I'm waiting for you to stay.
38:05I am waiting for you to answer them.
38:15He was waiting for that.
38:15He was waiting for me to have to and get me back to try something new.

40:16King 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 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.
40:41And 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.
41:04I'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.
41:15Caelan 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.
41:47And 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, Caelan 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 resuccan?
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.
42:18How thoughtful.
42:20After dinner, Princess Anya caught my sleeve near the corridor.
42:23Madam Corvig 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.
42:49You know, like you said,
42:54That night.
43:11This relationship is still responsive in place.
43:12Yeah.
43:12You're coming with me.
43:12That night.
43:12And I'll be là.
43:13What do youấy'll fl bisa win in place?
43:13Who will just komen on the right here?
43:13Good morning.
43:14Good morning.
43:18Hey, Ryan.
43:18.
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.
44:17Caelan sat in the 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 Synervas and her son.
44:44King Alaric read in silence. Reports can be dressed up. So can treason. The Lord froze. King Alaric lowered the
44:51report.
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? No. Then why are you here? To speak
45:08to the King.
45:10I stepped around him. This has nothing to do with you. For once, Caelan had no answer.
45:33So what's the next question.
45:34It's just such aозиion 49.
45:39It's amazing to know if you've seen your own precision in our memory had a confronting revenge.
45:40If you don't see your eye on my head, I'm a scientist.
45:40The Seismuth ability.
45:40This happens when it is finding your mind that you expect your NATO strength to choose your hands.
45:40We haveettster among that are out there.
45:40For the top five now, I have a great extent to talk about whether it's human or curse at the
45:44end.
45:44In fact, it's not there for sure.
45:59If you have a recurrence or Джoan's jaw be discussed within theタ teatры,
45:59.
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.
47:17Then 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.
47:53For the first time, I understood.
47:55His silence all these years had never been indifference.
47:59It had been restraint.
48:44Anja's warning was real.
48:46Edric checked the royal race.
48:47archive records for me. Three nights, three visits. Madam Corvin entered the sealed wing each time
48:54with a Marianne clerk. The exit list is wrong. Files went in, fewer came out. Which files?
49:00Northern Warfront, Ashpington marching routes, Dragonblood curse reports. Lucien's hand tightened
49:05on his cane. They are destroying the trail. Then we split it. Lucien went to request royal access
49:10from King Alaric. I 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. She pulled the cloth aside. Three copied letters lay under the
49:38flowers. My hands went cold. One letter marked my father's route through the northern pass.
49:42One confirmed the route had been sent before the ambush. The last carried a red wax seal.
49:47House Marianne. Mira stared at it. My lady, that's the queen's family. I closed the letters.
49:55Not just her family. Lucien entered before dawn. The king agreed to open the vault tomorrow.
50:01I handed him the copies. Good. His face changed as he read. Because now we know what they'll try to
50:09hide.
50:13The king's family. If you have a pole on the tracks, he left with the
50:19the ring of the mark. From Aaron, the king agreed to open the
50:20hand. She gave the Givens. At the time, he moved the
50:21master's back up. That's the king's family. He's able to open the
50:27family. He did the two men's family. So she gave the
50:27wife. She made a difference. And, I'm glad to remember who the
50:35chair. So, all about the family. I said yes, she said she's
50:39the king would have been said to his life. So she got to save the
50:42.
51:37Don't yell. I know it looks stupid.
51:42Don't yell.
