Reborn As The Sleeping Dragon’s Bride HD Watch Till The End

Film.Decoded

Transcript

00:01I was born with a blood scent that could make dragon lords lose control.

00:04Pure breeding blood, the rarest kind in 300 years.

00:08At my mating ceremony, I crawled past the sacred gold offerings

00:12and grabbed Crown Prince Caelan between his pants.

00:15This little whore could be a clingy breeder in the future.

00:21He was wrong. Caelan and I became enemies.

00:24For ten years, I watched his dragon eyes learn to hate my scent.

00:27On my 18th birthday feast, the king called me before the throne.

00:31Freya, choose any dragon lord in Valeria. I will grant him to you.

00:36Before I could answer, Caelan's voice cut across the hall.

00:39I would rather be torn apart by wild dragon knees than mate her.

00:44Something inside me broke. Good. Then make him choke on it.

00:47Then I will leave his fate to the gods. Pay for the price, Crown Prince Caelan.

00:51I thought he didn't mean it. Our betrothal ceremony was beautiful, but Caelan never gave me a glance.

00:58Your scent makes me sick.

01:00Years passed. I gave him no air. The court stopped bowing.

01:04Dragonborn ladies spat in my food, ripped my gowns and called me a barren human leech.

01:10Caelan only smiled. Then I heard him say it.

01:12She forced this marriage. She deserves karma. No one should pity her.

01:17One week later, he threw me into the velvet quarter.

01:21A useless breeder belongs in a pleasure house.

01:24I died there, bloody and left like rotten meat. His figure was the last thing I saw. He never looked

01:30back.

01:30Then 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.

09:40Thank you, Jiangすごい.

09:44Not entirely.

09:45What do you offer your JeansDie преem the name of waving a fellowship today?

09:45Design perfectly.

09:50You touch to the�지.

09:50They'll do nothing in your house.

09:50The Frenchie left.

09:50The Frenchie left now.

09:50The Frenchie's red pepper.

09:50You've been shesedding.

09:51Is Mere� Ed.

09:52Now it time lies perfect for you.

10:10So you are starting to find an ethnic house that Enem.

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.

10:38He said nothing.

10:39Every servant in the hall understood it.

10:41Gareth supported me as Lady Dravenmoor.

10:43Bring me Lucian's healer records, medicine ledgers, and night watch lists now.

10:47Selene arrived with a soft smile.

10:48Freya, you were married yesterday.

10:50Leave the household matters to me.

10:52This isn't household business.

10:53This is my husband's life.

10:54Selene kept smiling, but her eyes didn't.

10:57By sunset, I found the first problem in the medicine logs.

10:59Some herbs were not healing Lucian.

11:01They were suppressing his dragon blood.

11:03He wasn't too weak to wake.

11:04Someone was keeping him asleep.

11:06I needed the source records.

11:07Where the herbs came from.

11:08Who ordered them.

11:09The trail pointed to the royal pharmacy.

11:11I sent a rider to request the purchase records.

11:14The rider came back empty-handed.

11:15Crown Tower denied the request.

11:17They said all pharmaceutical inquiries from Dravenmoor require approval from the Crown Prince's office.

11:21I 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 Voss waited outside my chamber door.

12:00He 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.

12:19No 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.

12:57She 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.

16:08You think the solution to this?

16:19I have no idea.

16:19That's fair.

16:19I've got it.

16:19I need to take over you.

16:20You've got it.

16:27I'm jiming here.

16:27You put your hand in here.

16:27You're closer.

16:27I'll win.

16:31I'll win.

16:31.

17:01.

17:31.

18:01.

18:31.

19:01.

19:02.

19:03.

19:04.

19:08.

19:10.

19:11.

19:12.

19:13.

19:14.

19:15.

19:26.

19:27.

19:28.

19:29.

19:35.

19:36.

19:37.

19:38.

19:39.

19:40.

19:41.

19:42.

19:43.

19:44.

19:45.

19:46your nephew and the crown at the same time. Not alone. His hand was warm. The scales pulsed.

19:50I need you to wake up. Silence. Then his fingers closed around mine. Freya. His dark gold eyes

19:56opened. Who came into my keep and thought he could question my wife for protecting me. Lucian sat up

20:02in bed. Black silver flame tore through the room. He looked at the bruise on my neck. Who did this?

20:07You. When your dragon blood broke through. He touched the bruise. Black silver light wrapped

20:12around my neck. It faded under his hand. Outside, every dragon torch in Dravenmore keep lit

20:16at once. The whole northern sky burned silver. In 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. The duke is awake. Caelan's cup shattered in his hand.

20:42Caelan's cup 이쪽. Caelan's cup vont pleinar. Yeah.

21:02Caelan already took the card. Caelan. Pin it up.

21:03Caelan. Lukey.

21:04D' arbeite now.

21:04Mireille.

21:09D'еров 굉장히.

21:12.

21:42.

22:12.

22:42.

23:12.

23:22The Royal Medical Delegation arrived before noon.

23:25They expected a sleeping Duke.

23:26They found Lucian Dravenmore seated in the main hall.

23:29He leaned on a cane.

23:30His face was pale, but black-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.

23:40Lucian 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 medicine.

23:53From today on, Dravenmore's healers answer to me and Lady Dravenmore, no one else.

23:56The delegation left before sunset.

23:59Caelan 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, 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.

24:40I've beenstationed.

24:44I'm sorry.

24:58I'll start carrying.

24:59I had a full screenshot of what's wrong with you.

24:59I'm sorry.

24:59I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

24:59I'll be alright.

25:02I'm sorry.

25:03I won't do it.

25:03.

25:33.

26:05.

26:06At 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.

26:35You 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.

27:20They were kneeling because I had won.

27:37He'll be, leaded down, he called you the travescs.

27:37Crews Test for fear.

27:37They were quiet and how the 좋아요 was.

27:37He lets him faithfully chapter two times.

27:38He Whoa!

27:38Be quiet and ind Wel니다.

27:38I feel a bit bigger than that.

27:46I Moved member from UCD.

27:46To talk to you Christians in the hall,

27:47the family is not panting the pendant.

27:47Well.

27:48Can you use that?

27:51How can you use it now?

27:56.

34:21.

34:22.

34:23.

34:25.

34:32The news reached Crown Tower by nightfall.

34:34Kaelin 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?

34:42The messenger shook.

34:43Yes, your highness. Lady Selina has been confined.

34:45Rowan Vos is in the dungeon.

34:47Kaelin's eyes went gold.

34:49Freya did this.

34:50Lucien did this. Freya 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, Kaelin 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.

35:16Kaelin'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.

35:29Edric's face changed.

35:30Send word to Dravenmore.

35:32Tell Lady Dravenmore the Queen is moving first.

35:53My grandmother that caught this time, is brought to theiertuch the Queen and Princess Ages

36:00of Bellamy Institute of Education.

36:00Friends of the Queen.

36:02The Queen and tous were delighted as she saw you tonight.

36:07Your friend, Miss Coach at the Son Kawe Chang,

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, 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.

37:27You 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, he was speaking as my husband.

37:56I shot a little as a duke.

37:57I started a little off.

37:57I was trying to understand that and that's what I could have spoken for.

37:57I stayed after the second time.

37:57I've been thinking about the first time you see, what?

37:57I see.

37:59The second time you see, the third time I've gone through it, it was a little more of a

38:01an hour.

38:01I'm yearning you can see that you're gonna use it.

38:01You can see, when you see this.

38:13I was going through and that's where you're going to be talking.

38:15.

38:45.

39:15.

39:47.

39:48.

39:49.

39:50.

39:51.

40:00.

40:02.

40:14The summons arrive three days later.

40:16King 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.

40:30So 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.

40:38If 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.

41:12Royal 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.

42:02That 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.

42:16Her eyes moved to the locked case beside my chair.

42:19How thoughtful.

42:20After dinner, Princess Anya caught my sleeve near the corridor.

42:23Madame 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.

43:29The original letter about who was

43:30.

44:05The Autumn Court filled the royal hall by sunrise.

44:08Dragon lords, human nobles, crown loyalists.

44:11Lucian entered with a cane.

44:13The room still bowed.

44:14Black silver pressure rolled over the floor.

44:16Even House Marianne's men stopped smiling.

44:18Caelan sat in the prince's seat, gold fire flickering under his skin.

44:21A Marianne lord stepped forward first.

44:23Your Majesty, Duke Lucian has been absent from court for a year.

44:26His private dragon riders remain under northern command.

44:28Valeria needs a royal oversee 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.

44:36Lucian 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.

44:46Reports can be dressed up.

44:48So 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.

44:56No oversaw will be sent.

44:58Caelan's jaw tightened.

45:00After court, he blocked me on the stone steps.

45:02Did you come back just to parade him in front of me?

45:05No.

45:06Then why are you here?

45:08To speak to the king.

45:10I stepped around him.

45:11This has nothing to do with you.

45:13For once, Caelan had no answer.

45:43I need one last, but I have no doubt.

45:44I can't believe you.

45:44I need one last before the party.

45:47I'm going to take a moment.

45:47I have a friend.

45:47You can't breathe.

45:47I can't breathe.

45:48I can't breathe.

45:49I can't breathe.

45:51Just hold on the door.

45:51I can't breathe.

45:57I can't breathe.

45:57.

46:47The next day the court gathered in the Rose Dragon Garden.

46:50I found the old pool behind the rose wall.

46:53I had fallen in there as a child.

46:55I remembered cold water, small hands, then a black cloak around my shoulders.

47:00Lucian stopped beside me.

47:02You told me Ashborough girls didn't cry over water.

47:06I turned.

47:07That was you?

47:08You were ten, soaked through, furious at the pond.

47:13And you remembered that?

47:14I remembered you.

47:15For a second the court noise faded, then Queen Marion's voice cut through the garden.

47:19How charming. A 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.

47:38Freer'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.

48:17You're not.

48:44I looked at the darkness without retrouver her.

48:45Oh, it wasn't gonna look at.

48:45I wasjutant known about real murderberg Potter.

48:46With that, like the

48:47royal archive records for me. Three nights. Three visits. Madame Corvin entered the sealed wing

48:54each time with a Marianne clerk. The exit list is wrong. Files went in. Fewer came out. Which

48:59files? Northern Warfront. Ashmington marching routes. Dragonblood curse reports. Lucien's hand

49:05tightened on his cane. They are destroying the trail. Then we split it. Lucien went to request

49:10royal access from 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.

50:02I handed him the copies. Good. His face changed as he read. Because now we know what they'll try to

50:09hide.

50:13I have been espera. I know that. You know the otheráng set of days, but still unbelievable lookえー.

50:24I don't want his dream to be here. You see things in a spot yet, and he have not done

50:28maybe a

50:28Over here in a fashion. You can see each other

50:32of the Puisque modulus and smoking. I did say no one till eight times before the

50:32rack is waiting to put aodar. I took nearly 5 through.

50:33I did not know what theieza of the nightcl Dasy, these people are forgetting that they go out.

50:40.

51:37Don't yell. I know it looks stupid.

51:39She pulled the cloth aside.

51:41Three copies.
