Reborn As The Sleeping Dragon'S Bride ✅ FULL [Eng Sub]

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 light 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 Drainmore. 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 Drainmore 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 Drainmore 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 Drainmore
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. If the human girl wants a sleeping dragon, let her
03:14have him.
03:16So be it. Your bloodline is gone. Lucian cannot answer for himself. My queen will arrange the wedding for you
03:23too.
03:23I rose my bloody forehead and crumbling stood up. I am humbled beyond speech.
03:29I 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.
03:57At dusk, Madame Corvin led me through the royal corridors.
04:01Dragonflowers scented the stone. Then she stopped and bowed.
04:05Your 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 Velorean
04:27way.
04:28Your highness. He looked me over from crown to shoes, as if searching for the girl who used to chase
04:32him through these halls.
04:33That'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.
04:40He always tossed them to the palace drakes.
04:43Stop this pathetic chase, Freya. You are marrying my uncle now. Try to have some dignity.
04:49You 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 Veloria.
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.
05:46Darrenmore receives you with honor.
05:48In my last life, Crown Tower never gave me this much respect.
05:51Some 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.
06:03Lucien 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 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.
06:29I leaned closer, feeling the subtle warmth of his body beneath the thin sheets.
06:33You're asleep anyway, so this doesn't count.
06:35I lowered my head and kissed him. His lips were warm. For a heartbeat, nothing happened.
06:40Then the air broke open. Dark pressure slammed through the room.
06:43Black silver scales erupted along his neck. Windows 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.
06:56Lucien!
06:57His fingers burned against my skin, yet he didn't push me away.
07:02Lucien!
07:18Lucien!
07:19His 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.
07:28It's me. It's Freya.
07:30His fingers burned against my skin. Then the fire pulled back. His hand dropped.
07:34The room went dark. Outside, Dravenmoor keep erupted. Shouts. Running boots. Dragon flame lighting up the sky. Gareth broke through
07:42the door.
07:43My lady.
07:44I touched my neck. It was bruised.
07:46Lucien lay still again, but his breathing had changed. Deeper. Stronger.
07:50The curse had cracked, but whatever was underneath was not gentle.
07:53I didn't know if I had started to wake him up, or started something worse.
07:57By 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 Flyam responded to the marriage bond. That's all anyone needs to know.
08:18The bruise on my neck was already dark. A healer offered to treat it. Leave it.
08:23I went back to Lucien's room. He was still. Leave it.
08:25But the black silver scales on his hand had not faded. His dragon blood was fighting something.
08:29The curse. The medicine. Maybe both. I sat beside him.
08:33I don't know if you can hear me, but I'm not leaving.
08:37His fingers moved. Barely. The news reached Crown Tower before noon.
08:41Caelan was sparring when a servant ran in.
08:43Your Highness. Dravenmoor's mate flame answered Freya last night.
08:47Caelan stopped mid-swing.
08:48The whole northern sky lit up.
08:51Gold fire burst from Caelan's palm. The 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.
09:05She 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.
09:18The Ashborough war records we archived move them to the sealed vault and send a message to the Royal Pharmacy.
09:23Any requests from Dravenmoor go through my office first.
09:50But again, we're going to be immediately to pass.
10:08The Earth.
10:08Looking forward there with some不好意思
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 Seleneva Lavasse's house, and I am not her guest.
10:37Gareth stood behind me. He 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. Leave the household matters to me.
10:52This isn't household business. This 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, who 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.
11:21I 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.
11:30Send Rowan.
11:30Let my son teach her what happens to lonely wives in this house.
11:57Rowan Vos waited outside my chamber door.
12:00He smelled of wine.
12:01Lady 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.
12:55She knows.
13:25.
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.
14:26Salina 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.
14:40Then 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. The medicine bowl had split in half.
15:03Black silver fire burned across the floor. Lucian'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 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.
15:23The 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, reverse everything I
15:32had changed, put Celine'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.
16:08After all, I've had to go.
16:15After all, I want to show you how famous it was possible to achieve that move.
16:15After all.
16:26Think about the actual proceeds.
16:27No doubt about that.
16:27After all, I think the proceeds could start to take over.
16:27After all, I'm ready to live through and see a couple of technical teams and see a couple of potential
16:27things.
16:27If you're ready to go, let yourself go, move to your journey.
16:27You're ready to go, let me.
16:27Let the other, let me know.
16:28I'm ready to talk too long.
16:37I just want to be a reflection.
16:37I'll try and do math.
16:37There's a few.
16:38.

19:10.
19:10.
19:12.
19:34Gareth's contact in Crown Tower sent word,
19:36The delegation was leaving one day early.
19:39I locked the chamber door and sat beside Lucian.
19:41I can handle Selina.
19:42I can handle the servants and the whispers.
19:45But I can't fight your nephew and the Crown at the same time.
19:47Not alone.
19:48His hand was warm.
19:49The scales pulsed.
19:50I need you to wake up.
19:52Silence.
19:52Then his fingers closed around mine.
19:54Freya.
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.
20:05Who 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 Onmor's fire just lit the northern line.
20:27All of it.
20:27Caelan stood up.
20:28The duke is awake.
20:29Caelan's cup shattered in his hand.
20:37The duke is awake.
20:37The duke is awake.
20:38Schliggs.
20:38The champagne mused.

21:05.
21:35.
22:05.
22:35.
23:06.
23:07.
23:08.
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 so hard the
23:34candles bent sideways.
23:35The late physician swallowed.
23:37Your Grace, Crown Prince Caelan sent us to review your treatment.
23:40Lucian 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. From today on, Dravenmore's
23:54healers answer to me and Lady Davenmore, no one else.
23:56The delegation left before sunset.
23:58Caelan watched from the upper hall, white-faced. That night, she sent a servant through the east gate with a
24:03sealed message. I watched him disappear into the dark road. I could stop him, but I didn't. I want to
24:08see who will answer.
24:09Later, Lucian 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.
24:41I'll start carrying it with you.
24:45Sometimes, of course.
24:48Such a smart coach had been to the discharged 아 doe where it was Angelic.
25:06By the time I love and I can tempo for you.
25:13.
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. Wintergrain was marked as delivered, but the
26:20storehouses never received it. He placed another page down.
26:23And this money went to the Gilded Den. Rowan'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.
26:35You sold my soldiers food and called it sacrifice?
26:37I protected Dravenmoor while you slept.
26:40No. You fed off it.
26:43The hall went silent. Rowan 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.
27:20They were kneeling because I had won.
27:33And he could move on from me.

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.
36:53Some nights, his fire turned wild.
36:54One burst split the bedpost.
36:56Another cracked the stone wall.
36:58I worked his legs every morning, mixed the new medicine myself.
37:01On the fourth night, the flame surged before I could move.
37:04The force threw me against the floor.
37:06My arm hit broken stone, blood ran to my wrist.
37:08Lucian froze.
37:09The fire died at once.
37:11He tried to stand too fast and nearly fell.
37:14It's a scratch.
37:15I hurt you.
37:16The curse hurt me, not you.
37:19Do not make this sound easy.
37:21I wrapped cloth around my arm.
37:22I knew what I was choosing when I married you.
37:25He stared at me for a long second.
37:26You should not only be ready to suffer.
37:29His thumb brushed my bandage.
37:31You should be treated well.
37:32I stopped breathing.
37:33For the first time, he wasn't speaking as a duke.
37:35He was speaking as my husband.
37:51It was Bhagavad Gita's word.
38:00He was speaking as a duke.
38:00His thumb brushed his head into the sky.
38:00His tying dressed for a Germanizing ceremony.
38:00He actually spent the search for the patient years.
38:00He studied the meditation world.
38:00He did not say anything.
38:00a little bit. They
38:03one day it needed. He
38:03knew what he took him.

40:18parchment. No room to refuse. Gareth read it in the hall. Dragon Duke Lucian Dravenmore and Lady
40:24Freya Davenmore are commanded to attend the royal citadel. The servants looked at me. Lucian took
40:29the letter. So they finally want us in the open. It could be a trap. It is a trap. Then
40:35we should
40:35not go. If I refuse, they call it rebellion. If I go, they have to face me in front of
40:40the king.
40:40He looked at me. And I have things to show my brother. That night, I packed the evidence myself.
40:46Selene's ledgers. The medicine logs. The payment trail to the royal pharmacy. Every page that tied
40:52Dravenmore's sickness to crown tower and the royal citadel. Mira tied the case shut. Are you afraid?
40:58I looked at the royal seal. I died in that city once. Mira went quiet. I'm not going back as
41:06that girl.
41:08Before dawn, I found Lucian on the tower. Royal citadel was far beyond the dark hills.
41:15Kaelin will be there. So will the queen. And 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. Then everyone
41:45started whispering. Lucian Dravenmore was not dead. And I was not the ruined girl crown tower once threw
41:50away. Northern dragon riders rode on both sides of our carriage. Gareth led them with one hand on his
41:54sword. At the palace gate, Kaelin stood above the steps. He looked at Lucian's cane. Then he looked at
42:00me. I looked past him. That hurt him more. Queen Mary Ann held a welcome feast that night. Duke
42:06Lucian, Valeria is relieved to see you awake. Relieved enough to send a resuccan? Her smile
42:10tightened. The king missed his brother. Then we are happy to answer his majesty. We brought everything he
42:16needs to see. Her eyes moved to the locked case beside my chair. How thoughtful. After dinner,
42:20Princess Anya caught my sleeve near the corridor. Madam Corvik has been going to the royal archive
42:25every 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 about your
42:37father's march is still sealed in the archive. Can we get it? Only the king can open that vault.
42:46Then we make him want to.
43:16Bet
43:18so
43:36you

44:05The Autumn Court
44:06Filled the royal hall by sunrise
44:08Dragon lords
44:09Human nobles
44:10Crown loyalists
44:11Lucian entered with a cane
44:12The room still bowed
44:13Black silver pressure rolled over the floor
44:15Even House Marianne's men stopped smiling
44:17Caelan sat in the prince's seat
44:19Gold fire flickering under his skin
44:21A Marianne lord stepped forward first
44:23Your majesty
44:24Duke Lucian has been absent from court for a year
44:26His private dragon riders remain under northern command
44:28Valeria needs a royal oversea her in Drevenmore
44:30The hall stirred
44:31So that was their move
44:32Call Lucian weak
44:33Call his army dangerous
44:34Put crown tower inside our key
44:36Pete Lucian handed Gareth's sealed report to the king's steward
44:38Current rider count
44:40Grain stores
44:41Border patrols
44:42Tax ledgers records for Sir Nervos and her son
44:45King Alaric read in silence
44:46Reports can be dressed up
44:47So can treason
44:49The lord froze
44:50King Alaric lowered the report
44:52The north appears better managed than half the estates in this room
44:55No oversaw will be sent
44:57Caelan's jaw tightened
44:59After court, he blocked me on the stone steps
45:02Did you come back just to parade him in front of me?
45:04No
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
45:45Alaric means
45:45어떡ate
45:45To speak to the king
45:46To say
45:47Any sooner
45:57Thief
46:03Tief
46:04.
46:36.
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. A human duchess among dragonhounds.
47:23Valeria is becoming very generous.
47:25The noble ladies went quiet.
47:27Caelan looked at me. I did not speak. Lucian did.
47:29House Ashbird bled for Valeria before half these dragonhouses learned how to hold a border.
47:35Queen Marion's smile cracked.
47:38Freer's bloodline has earned its place here.
47:40A Marion lady muttered.
47:41Human blood is still human blood.
47:45Lucian turned his dark gold eyes on her.
47:47Then pray you never need human soldiers to die for your comfort again.
47:50No 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.
48:44Anja'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 Marion clerk.
48:56The 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.
49:11I 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.
49:43One 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.
49:52I closed the letters.
49:55Not just her family.
49:58Lucian 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 don't come back.
50:10I that you.
