14:23Mouth open.
14:24You're pathetic.
14:25Nothing coming out.
14:26She turned to leave.
14:27She looked back over her shoulder.
14:29And the baby's not yours.
14:31Gasps all around.
14:32Something snapped behind Dante's eyes.
14:35He broke free from the guards and threw himself at her.
14:38They went down hard, clawing, screaming.
14:40A few guards moved to pull them apart.
14:43Renzo's voice cut through.
14:47The scene ended when Daisy stopped fighting back.
14:50They carried her out on a stretcher.
14:51Blood soaked the hem of her dress.
15:01Enzo came to my side.
15:05Raven, I failed your parents.
15:07And I failed you.
15:08I let that man call himself your fiancé for years.
15:11I'm sorry.
15:12He was quiet for a moment.
15:13Your parents gave everything for this family.
15:16And their daughter, eight years old, in a room full of blood and bodies, picked up a gun and killed
15:21the man who did it.
15:22I knew right then you were the one to lead this family.
15:25But you're a girl and a Delcricon.
15:28The elders would never accept it.
15:30So I designed the marriage to give you a path in.
15:32He looked toward the door they dragged Dante through.
15:36I chose Dante because he loved you the most back then.
15:42I thought that love would hold.
15:44I thought he'd protect you with his life.
15:46He closed his eyes.
15:47I was wrong and you paid for my mistake.
15:53I held the ring across my knees.
15:55Its weight felt different now.
15:57Like something that had always been mine returned after a long absence.
16:01Grandpa, you don't have to apologize.
16:04I do.
16:05He squeezed my hand.
16:06But I can start making it right.
16:08Three days later, the estate was lit up like a cathedral.
16:11Everyone knew what this was.
16:12The princess was choosing a husband.
16:14Every unmarried Meridi man of age had been called home.
16:17Main line, branches, all of them.
16:20They stood in tailored suits with fresh haircuts.
16:23Each one watching me, hoping to be picked.
16:26I came down the spiral staircase in a black gown that caught every light in the room.
16:31Like an actual princess.
16:33Enzo smiled by my ear.
16:34Have fun tonight, sweetheart.
16:39I picked Marco Moretti, Dante's cousin.
16:42The one everyone said was the most loyal man in the family.
16:45He smiled, took my hand, and we stepped onto the floor.
16:48The music was at its peak when the ballroom doors blew open from outside.
16:52A figure knelt in the doorway, barely recognizable as human.
16:55Dante.
16:56He wore the same torn suit from three days ago.
16:58Mud, dried blood, forehead split open.
17:01He crawled in on his knees, dragging himself toward the center of the floor.
17:05Raven.
17:06His voice was gone.
17:07I was wrong.
17:08I crawled here from the mausoleum.
17:10I put my head to the ground for your parents at every step.
17:15Just come back to me.
17:17Forgive me, please.
17:19The music stopped.
17:20Marco stepped in front of me, blocking Dante like a wall.
17:23That's close enough.
17:29Dante crawled around him.
17:31His fingers closed around my ankle.
17:33He looked up at me, eyes full of tears.
17:35Please.
17:36I love you.
17:37I've always loved you.
17:38I looked down at him, at those eyes I used to believe in.
17:41But I knew better now.
17:42This wasn't love.
17:43This wasn't regret.
17:44This was a man who'd lost his money, his power, his name.
17:47And was crawling back to the only person who could give it all back.
17:51It's over, Dante.
17:52The day you canceled my parents' memorial dinner for her.
17:54The day you destroyed their room for her.
17:56The day you put a knife through my hand for her.
17:58We're done.
17:59And that's forever.
18:00Marco pulled Dante's hand off.
18:02Something warm spread through my chest.
18:04The guards dragged Dante out.
18:06The music started again.
18:07Marco's hand found the small of my back.
18:09He pulled me close and we moved together on the floor.
18:14The party went late.
18:16I leaned into him and for the first time in months, relaxed.
18:19Marco walked me to my room.
18:20At the door, he stopped.
18:22Good night, Raven.
18:23He pressed me against the door the moment it closed.
18:25His hands were steady, but his breathing wasn't.
18:28Tell me what you want.
18:30Everything.
18:31Yes, my queen.
18:32The next morning, I sat at the head of the table.
18:34Every man in the room lowered his head.
18:36Marco leaned in.
18:37News from the coast.
18:38That woman killed him.
18:39Stabbed him in his sleep.
18:40I didn't look up.
18:41Hmm.
18:41It was settled.
18:42The signet ring on my finger.
18:44I am the queen.
