Reborn as the Sleeping Dragon's Bride

Short filmTranscript
00:01I was born with a blood scent that could make dragon lords lose control.
00:05Pure breeding blood, the rarest kind in 300 years.
00:08At my mating ceremony, I crawled past the sacred gold offerings
00:12and grabbed Crown Prince Caelan between his pants.
00:16This little whore could be a clingy breeder in the future.
00:21He was wrong. Caelan and I became enemies.
00:24For 10 years, I watched his dragon eyes learn to hate my scent.
00:27On my 18th birthday feast, the king called me before the throne.
00:32Freya, choose any dragon lord in Valeria. I will grant him to you.
00:36Before I could answer, Caelan's voice cut across the hall.
00:39I would rather be torn apart by wild dragon knees than mate her.
00:44Something inside me broke. Good. Then make him choke on it.
00:47Then I will leave his fate to the gods. Pay for the price, Crown Prince Caelan.
00:52I thought he didn't mean it. Our betrothal ceremony was beautiful, but Caelan never gave me a glance.
00:58Your scent makes me sick.
01:01Years passed. I gave him no air. The court stopped bowing.
01:05Dragonborn ladies spat in my food, ripped my gowns and called me a barren human leech.
01:10Caelan only smiled. Then I heard him say it.
01:12She forced this marriage. She deserves karma. No one should pity her.
01:18One week later, he threw me into the velvet quarter.
01:21A useless breeder belongs in a pleasure house.
01:25I died there, bloody and left like rotten meat. His figure was the last thing I saw. He never looked
01:30back.
01:31Then 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.
01:48Your 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 Lufishi 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 dragon. The most
02:11fierce 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 curse.
02:27The healers said he would never wake. I knew they were wrong.
02:30In my last life, Lucian woke during my third year in hellish marriage. When dragonborn ladies had cornered me in
02:37the kitchens, they laughed, tore my sleeves, and called me a barren human leech.
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.
02:56I kept my forehead against the marble floor.
02:58Your majesty, I swore before the old gods. It is Lucian Dravenmore or no one.
03:03I hit my forehead on the floor. Once and once again. The court went quiet. Only left the sound of
03:08my bones crack.
03:09Queen Marianne smiled like she had been handed a gift.
03:12If the human girl wants a sleeping dragon, let her have 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.
03:30I did not look at Caelan. I only felt his gold fire burning behind me. Let him burn. I would
03:35never choose him again.
03:36Lucian is way better than Caelan. Last life, though he's still weak, he's nice to me. I'll save him this
03:42time.
03:42We'll claw our way out of this shithole. Together.
03:45For three days, I slept like someone freed from a cage.
03:50Then 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.
04:02Dragonflowers scented the stone. Then she stopped and bowed.
04:06Your highness, crown prince.
04:08I 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.
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
04:40just to hand them over.
04:41He always tossed them to the palace drakes.
04:44Stop this pathetic chase, Freya. You are marrying my uncle now. Try to have some dignity.
04:49You disgust me.
04:51I am not chasing anyone. I was only telling the truth to your king father. I do not love you.
04:56Then you wandered into the royal family's private wing by accident?
04:59The queen summoned me. Ask Madame Corvin.
05:01His gold fire flared. So it was true. I had not come for him.
05:05My uncle is a corpse with a title. You may be a widow before your wedding bed even cools.
05:11Then I will be the happiest widow in 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, Darrenmore receives you with honor.
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 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. 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.
06:20No. 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.
06:36I 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.
06:47His hand shot up and caught my throat. Not gentle, not soft.
06:50Dragon 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.
07:18His 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.
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, Draven Moor Keep erupted. Shouts, running boots.
07:40Dragon flame lighting up the sky. Gareth broke through the 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.
07:54I 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.
08:22Leave it.
08:23I went back to Lucien's room. He was still.
08:25But the black silver scales on his hand had not faded. His dragon blood was fighting something.
08:30The curse. The medicine. Maybe both.
08:32I sat beside him.
08:34I don't know if you can hear me, but I'm not leaving.
08:37His fingers moved. Barely.
08:39The news reached Crown Tower before noon.
08:41Caelan was sparring when a servant ran in.
08:44Your Highness, Draven Moor's mate flame answered Freya last night.
08:47Caelan stopped mid-swing.
08:48The whole northern sky lit up.
08:52Gold fire burst from Caelan's palm. The training post shattered.
08:55He thought the wedding would humiliate me. Instead, all of Royal Citadel was talking about how Draven Moor's dragon blood
09:01had chosen a human bride.
09:03Princess Anya walked in.
09:05So it's true.
09:06She looked at the burned post.
09:08They say Freya looked more like a duchess than a widow.
09:11Careful, 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 Draven Moor go through my office first.
09:45Importantly.
10:04Thanks, geez.
10:04Any은 not you.
10:14Star Wars.
10:14신.件�
10:23I put on Dravenmore 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.
10:34Davenmore Keep is not Selene Vila Vass's house, and I am not her guest.
10:38Gareth stood behind me.
10:39He said nothing.
10:40Every servant in the hall understood it.
10:41Gareth supported me as Lady Dravenmore.
10:43Bring me Lucian's healer records, medicine ledgers, and night watch lists now.
10:47Selene arrived with a soft smile.
10:49Freya, you were married yesterday.
10:50Leave the household matters to me.
10:52This isn't household business.
10:53This is my husband's life.
10:55Selene kept smiling, but her eyes didn't.
10:57By sunset, I found the first problem in the medicine logs.
11:00Some herbs were not healing Lucian.
11:02They were suppressing his dragon blood.
11:03He wasn't too weak to wake.
11:05Someone was keeping him asleep.
11:06I needed the source records.
11:08Where the herbs came from.
11:09Who 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.
11:16Crown Tower denied the request.
11:17They said all pharmaceutical inquiries from Dravenmore require approval from the Crown Prince's office.
11:21I understood.
11:22Selene's confidence didn't come from Dravenmore.
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.
11:31Let 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.
12:02Lady Dravenmore.
12:03I stopped.
12:04Come on.
12:05Your husband can't even open his eyes.
12:07Don't waste your youth on a sleeping man.
12:09He stepped closer.
12:11Selene runs this keep.
12:12I am her son.
12:14You are just the human bride they sent to warm Lucian's bed.
12:17Then I slapped him.
12:18Servants rushed over.
12:19No one dared speak.
12:20Rowan wiped blood from his lip.
12:22My mother will hear about this.
12:24Good.
12:25Tell Lady Selene I saved her the trouble.
12:27His face twisted.
12:28My mother!
12:29Your mother failed to raise you.
12:31That makes it my problem now.
12:33I turned to the hall.
12:34Freya.
12:35Gareth.
12:36Put him in the lower water cell.
12:38By morning, maybe he'll remember whose keep this is.
12:41The guards moved toward Rowan.
12:43That was when the whole keep understood.
12:44I was Lady Dravenmore.
12:47Below 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.
12:54And Crown Tower knows she knows.
13:04I don't feel but the whole Beard.
13:04That's right.
13:04Okay.
13:07We'll make sure who's ready.
13:08Even with Cochlear.
13:09What?
13:17Because he's told she finally came to publish.
13:27Where we're breeding gold.
13:27Because it was people like this he was a fan.
13:27He liked to have theation.
13:28He loved he was the first class ago.
13:30.
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.
14:23By breakfast, the hall was full. Servants stood with their heads down.
14:26Selina sat at the high table, calm as ever.
14:29Freya, you locked my son in a water cell over drunken words. Now you want to accuse me too?
14:34I 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.
15:14Gareth read it aloud.
15:14By the authority of Crown Prince Kaelin, a royal medical delegation will be dispatched to Dragan Moore Keep to evaluate
15:20Duke Lucian's condition and review all medical arrangements currently in place.
15:24The room went quiet.
15:25When?
15:26Three days.
15:27I looked at the letter. If Kaelin's doctors walked in here, they would take over Lucian's treatment, reverse everything I
15:32had changed, put Selene's people back in charge, and I couldn't refuse. He was using his nephew's health as the
15:37excuse.
15:39Then we have three days.
16:08Kaelin'siden's team, the rover, Melville.
16:09Mariel Cho, Kerin's team leader.
16:17Kaelin's team leader.
16:23The friend in 1978.
16:28We have one of his friends.
16:29The soldier Barry praticteo.
16:29When he was using her prairie tattoo cult, fight for her pajamas.
16:30We have a hypocrite and then a효 KOitude event with you, for his right voice.
16:38.
17:08.
17:38.
18:08.
18:38.
19:09.
19:10.
19:11.
19:12.
19:13.
19:13.
19:35Gareth's contact in Crown Tower sent word,
19:37the delegation was leaving one day early.
19:39I locked the chamber door and sat beside Lucian.
19:42I can handle Selina.
19:43I can handle the servants and the whispers.
19:45But I can't fight your nephew and the Crown at the same time.
19:48Not alone.
19:48His hand was warm.
19:49The scales pulsed.
19:51I need you to wake up.
19:52Silence.
19:53Then his fingers closed around mine.
19:55Freya.
19:55His dark gold eyes opened.
19:57Who came into my keep and thought he could question my wife for protecting me.
20:01Lucian sat up in bed.
20:02Black silver flame tore through the room.
20:04He looked at the bruise on my neck.
20:06Who did this?
20:07You.
20:08When your dragon blood broke through.
20:10He touched the bruise.
20:11Black silver light wrapped around my neck.
20:13It faded under his hand.
20:14Outside, every dragon torch in Dravenmore keep lit at once.
20:17The whole northern sky burned silver.
20:20In Crown Tower, a rider burst through the gate.
20:24Your highness, Dragon Onmor's fire just lit the northern line.
20:27All of it.
20:28Caelan stood up.
20:28The duke is awake.
20:30Caelan's cup shattered in his hand.

22:36.
23:19.
23:22The Royal Medical Delegation arrived before noon. They expected a sleeping Duke. They found Lucian Dravenmore seated in the main
23:29hall. He leaned on a cane. His face was pale, but black-silver pressure filled the room so hard the
23:34candles bent sideways.
23:35.
23:36The late physician swallowed.
23:37.
23:37.
23:38.
23:38.
23:38.
23:38.
23:39.
23:39.
23:41.
23:41.
23:41.
23:41.
23:41.
23:41.
23:41.
24:06.
24:06.
24:06.
24:06.
24:06.
24:07.
24:07.
24:07could stop him, but I didn't. I want to see who will answer. Later, Lucian found me by the chamber
24:11fire. How much did they make you carry alone? His jaw tightened. I'll start carrying it with you.
34:32The news reached Crown Tower , by nightfall.
34:35Cailan read the report once, then Goldfire burst from his hand.
34:38Half the deaths burned before the gods could move.
34:40He threw out my delegation?
34:42The messenger shook.
34:43Yes, your highness.
34:44Lady Celina has been confined.
34:46Rowan Voss is in the dungeon.
34:47Caelan's eyes went gold.
34:49Freya did this.
34:50Lucian did this.
34:52Freya gave him the knife.
34:53Later, Queen Marion called House Marion into her private chamber.
34:56If Lucian speaks of the Northern Warfront, every old wound opens.
35:00A lord leaned close.
35:01Then we strike first.
35:03At court, accuse him of hiding troops, ignoring royal summons and using illness to build power in the north.
35:08At the same time, Caelan went to King Alaric.
35:10Father, Uncle Lucian just woke from a curse.
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?
35:27The one Freya married. Try to keep up.
35:29Edric's face changed.
35:30Send word to Dravenmore.
35:32Tell Lady Dravenmore the Queen is moving first.
36:14According to her father's father.
36:14Let Lady Dravenmore the Queen
36:14Now, she's going into a rumor to be a third foot in the chapel.
36:14.
36:46Lucian could stand now, not long, not without pain.
36:49His dragon blood had broken the curse but the damage stayed in his legs.
36:53Some nights his fire turned wild.
36:55One burst split the bedpost.
36:56Another cracked the stone wall.
36:58I worked his legs every morning.
37:00Mixed the new medicine myself.
37:01On the fourth night the flame surged before I could move.
37:04The force threw me against the floor.
37:06My arm hit broken stone.
37:08Blood ran to my wrist.
37:09Lucian froze.
37:10The fire died at once.
37:11He tried to stand too fast and nearly fell.
37:13It's a scratch.
37:15I hurt you.
37:17The curse hurt me.
37:18Not you.
37:19Do not make this sound easy.
37:21I wrapped cloth around my arm.
37:23I knew what I was choosing when I married you.
37:25He stared at me for a long second.
37:27You should not only be ready to suffer.
37:29His thumb brushed my bandage.
37:31You should be treated well.
37:32I stopped breathing.
37:33For the first time he wasn't speaking as a duke.
37:36He was speaking as my husband.
37:47He was speaking as a duke.
37:47He was speaking as the blues girl.
37:48Even if he was hearing me.
37:51He was speaking as the bunny man.
37:51But he I broke as a Primary Nous Fiveでき cái aproximando.
37:52You should be looking for his brother and sonken pixels.
37:52The懂�, my sister and sonkenco義.
38:13.
38:43.
39:13.
39:43.
39:44.
39:44.
39:45.
39:45.
39:46.
39:47.
39:47.
40:15.
40:15The summons arrived three days later.
40:17King 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 are commanded to attend the royal citadel.
40:27The servants looked at me.
40:29Lucian took the letter.
40:31So they finally want us in the open.
40:33It could be a trap.
40:34It is a trap.
40:35Then we should not go.
40:36If I refuse, they call it rebellion. If I go, they have to face me in front of the king.
40:41He looked at me.
40:41And I have things to show my brother.
40:44That night, I packed the evidence myself.
40:47Selene's ledgers.
40:48The medicine logs.
40:49The payment trail to the royal pharmacy.
40:51Every page that tied Dravenmore's sickness to crown tower and the royal citadel.
40:56Mira tied the case shut.
40:58Are you afraid?
40:59I looked at the royal seal.
41:00I died in that city once.
41:03Mira went quiet.
41:05I'm not going back as that girl.
41:09Before dawn, I found Lucian on the tower.
41:12Royal citadel was far beyond the dark hills.
41:15Kaelin will be there.
41:17So will the queen.
41:19And me.
41:20He offered his hand.
41:21I took it.
41:22This time, I was not walking into crown tower alone.
41:40We returned to the royal citadel under black silver banners.
41:43The streets went quiet first.
41:45Then everyone started whispering.
41:46Lucian Dravenmore was not dead.
41:48And I was not the ruined girl crown tower once threw away.
41:51Northern dragon riders rode on both sides of our carriage.
41:53Gareth led them with one hand on his sword.
41:55At the palace gate, Kaelin stood above the steps.
41:58He 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.
42:07Valeria is relieved to see you awake.
42:09Relieved enough to send a resuccan?
42:10Her smile tightened.
42:11The king missed his brother.
42:13Then we are happy to answer his majesty.
42:15We brought everything he needs to see.
42:17Her eyes moved to the locked case beside my chair.
42:19How thoughtful.
42:20After dinner, Princess Anya caught my sleeve near the corridor.
42:23Madame Corvik has been going to the royal archive every night.
42:26I stopped.
42:28Whatever you brought, she may be trying to burn the matching half.
42:31That night, Lucian closed our chamber door.
42:35Edric confirmed it.
42:36The original letter about your father's march is still sealed in the archive.
42:40Can we get it?
42:41Only the king can open that vault.
42:47Then we make him want to.
43:10Eine universe.
43:11The Yuan Corvik implies going to be a star.
43:14But the queen was inside the wall.
43:15That is not-
43:32Ghostotic.
43:33Given your mind that was sleeping.
43:33And Garr na taimatus.
43:33We have to have to have.
43:36Go back.
43:39Stop saying she ta'
44:06The autumn court filled the royal hall by sunrise, dragon lords,
44:09human nobles, crown loyalists. Lucian entered with a cane. The room still bowed. Black silver
44:14pressure rolled over the floor. Even House Marianne's men stopped smiling. Caelan sat in
44:19the prince's seat, gold fire flickering under his skin. A Marianne lord stepped forward first.
44:24Your majesty, Duke Lucian has been absent from court for a year. His private dragon riders remain
44:28under northern command. Valeria needs a royal overseer in Drevenmore. The hall stirred. So
44:32that was their move. Call Lucian weak. Call his army dangerous. Put crown tower inside our key. Lucian
44:37handed Gareth's sealed report to the king's steward. Current rider count, grain stores,
44:41border patrols, tax ledgers records for Sinervos and her son. King Alaric read in silence. Reports
44:47can be dressed up. So can treason. The lord froze. King Alaric lowered the report. The north appears
44:53better managed than half the estates in this room. No oversaw will be sent. Caelan's jaw tightened.
45:00After court, he blocked me on the stone steps. Did you come back just to parade him in front
45:04of me? No. Then why are you here? To speak to the king. I stepped around him. This has nothing
45:12to do
45:13with you. For once, Caelan had no answer.
45:34.
45:35.
45:35.
45:36.
45:36.
45:38.
46:08.
46:38.
46:48The next day, the court gathered in the Rose Dragon Garden.
46:51I found the old pool behind the Rose Wall.
46:53I had fallen in there as a child.
46:56I remembered cold water, small hands, then a black cloak around my shoulders.
47:01Lucian stopped beside me.
47:03You told me Ashborough girls didn't cry over water.
47:06I turned.
47:08That was you?
47:09You were ten, soaked through, furious at the pond.
47:13And you remembered that?
47:14I remembered you.
47:15For a second, the court noise faded. Then Queen Marian's voice cut through the garden.
47:19How charming. A human duchess among dragonhounds. Valeria is becoming very generous.
47:25The noble ladies went quiet. Caelan looked at me. I did not speak. Lucian did.
47:30House 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.
47:42Human blood is still human blood.
47:45Lucian turned his dark gold eyes on her.
47:47Then pray you never need human soldiers to die for your comfort again.
47:51No one laughed.
47:52I looked at Lucian. For the first time, I understood.
47:55His silence all these years had never been indifference. It had been restraint.
48:01I hope out.
48:02iodine absent caught in passing, Hawthorne made a Curricule of supervisor
48:07Seit that time later, it disappeared with doubt.
48:12Have a breath, away, wait that emotion.
48:21For this time, Timοι San THEIR TOJECT
48:44Anya's warning was real. Edric checked the Royal Archive records for me. Three 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. Which files?
49:00Northern Warfront, Ashpington Marching Routes, Dragonblood curse reports.
49:05Lucian's hand tightened on his cane.
49:06They are destroying the trail.
49:08Then we split it.
49:09Lucian went to request royal access from King Alaric.
49:12I sent Edric to the old Archive clerk who had served my father.
49:16By midnight, Mira came to my room carrying a basket of white roses.
49:25Lucian went in, fewer came out.
49:32Don't yell. I know it looks stupid.
49:34She pulled the cloth aside.
49:36Three copied letters lay under the flowers.
49:39My hands went cold.
49:40One letter marked my father's route through the northern pass.
49:43One confirmed the route had been sent before the ambush.
49:46The last carried a red wax seal.
49:47House Marriand.
49:49Mira stared at it.
49:50My lady, that's the Queen's family.
49:52I closed the letters.
49:56Not just her family.
49:58Lucian entered before dawn.
50:00The King agreed to open the vault tomorrow.
50:02I handed him the copies.
50:04Good.
50:05His face changed as he read.
50:07Because now we know what they'll try to hide.
50:23Yes, be a sign in to go out.
50:25The King was left in to go out.
50:27They said, yes.
50:30A guy was in the door.
50:30He just said, yes.
50:33He looked forward.
50:33He's going to be in the book.
50:33He said, yes.
50:33He threes in the book.
50:34The King went out.
50:36His house.
50:36He called out.
50:36It was an official.
50:36He told me he looked in.
50:46He said, no.
50:46He said, no.
50:47He said, no.
50:48But now there was an aid.
50:52.
51:22.
51:23.

51:38Don't yell. I know it looks stupid.
51:40She pulled the cloth aside.
51:42Three copies.
