00:00Darian was a lowborn sword when I met him. He had no house, no dragons and no name. My family
00:06had bred dragon riders for 300 years. I gave him corn, a blade and my heart. With my help he
00:12built a warband and won a lordship. Then a rival house sent men to kill him. I took the blow
00:18meant for his head and lost my sight.
00:22He tortured everyone who hurt me, leaving them half dead. He booked the grandest hall in Emberhold for our wedding.
00:28I untied the white silk ribbon covering my eyes.
00:33Two days before the wedding, my sight came back. I went to the hall to tell him. Inside he had
00:40his arm around Cassia, laughing with his men.
00:43Only two days until you wed Alara, Captain. You really plan to leave her at the wedding and go to
00:48bed with Cassia?
00:50Alara's blind. She'll never know I'm not in the hall. You stand at the altar for me. Hold the echo
00:57stone.
00:59It carries my voice inside. She'll think I'm standing right there. Why bother with all this? Just dump her and
01:05be done with it.
01:08No. She's the only woman I love. I'll never leave her. Once I've had my fun with the others, I'll
01:15come home and settle down with her.
01:16He wants my house's dragons in name, not me. He needs a wife from an ancient bloodline.
01:22Darien tore Cassia's bodice open and threw her down on the divan. His men whistled and cheered him on.
01:28Fuck her hard, Captain!
01:30One of them turned, saw me at the door, and went pale.
01:33Quiet. Alara's here.
01:35I smoothed my face and let my gaze go unfocused. I pushed the door open.
01:39My lord? Are you in here?
01:41He still thought I was blind. I let him believe it.
01:46Stay, my lord. Don't stop now. It feels awful when you stop.
01:50Quiet. If Alara hears you, I'll make you regret it.
01:56Alara, one of the men drank too much and passed out. I'm getting him up. Wait there.
02:00I stood still, keeping my gaze unfocused. However, my nails cut into my palm until it bled.
02:06Only the pain reminded me this sick little scene was real. It went on for another 20 minutes.
02:11Then he came to me, breathing hard, all concern.
02:14Why did you come up alone? It's dangerous. If anything happened to you, I wouldn't be able to live with
02:19myself.
02:20He was just slept with another woman. Now he plays the loving husband.
02:24You're hurt. Who did this? Tell me and I'll kill him.
02:27Once his worry would have moved me. Now it only makes me sick.
02:31I hurt it myself. I was careless.
02:33A few hours without me and you're hurt. From now on, I won't leave your side.
02:41A scratch has you this shaken, Captain. When she has your child, you'll pass out at the door.
02:46Shut it. Alara's my hold heart. What would you single guys know?
02:50Yeah, yeah. Still, lucky man, our captain.
02:54Graham said it looking straight at Cassia. My stomach turned. I nearly retched.
02:59I feel unwell. I'll go lie down in the side chamber.
03:02Once outside, I sealed a letter and called my swiftest dragon post rider.
03:08I sent it to Lord Caspian of House Valor, the boy I grew up beside.
03:24Feeling better now, my heart?
03:26My lady, perhaps a little water will make you feel better.
03:32Oh, forgive me, my lady. I thought you caught it. I forgot you're blind. You can't see the cup.
03:36My hand. It hurts.
03:38Get a healer. Now.
03:41You did this. Explain yourself.
03:43My lord, I swear it was an accident.
03:44If you dare hurt her again, I'll kill you.
03:48Rest here, my heart.
03:49The pain will pass.
03:52Alara needs quiet. I'll deal with her punishment next door.
03:57I heard exactly what her punishment was.
04:03My lord, you're being so rough today.
04:06You brought this on yourself. Take it.
04:12You heard every sound through that wall, didn't you?
04:15Darian is so obsessed with my body.
04:17He says you're cold as a tomb effigy.
04:19Blind, distant, no warmth in you at all.
04:21Only I suit him.
04:23Darian will not attend the wedding.
04:25If I were you, I would run away as fast as I could.
04:28She thinks her words can drive me out.
04:30She's too late.
04:31I won't run and I won't scream at him now.
04:34I will ruin his reputation on the altar in front of everyone.
04:39I ignored Cassia's words and she left, finding it boring.
04:44After she left, I went back to my room.
04:46Darian had been watching me ever since he came back.
04:49Alara, why did you leave on your own?
04:51Have your eyes recovered?
04:52His searching gaze almost made me laugh.
04:55If he learns my sight is back, the whole plan dies with it.
04:59I still need to pretend.
05:00See what? I felt unwell.
05:02So I had the maid take me back to my room.
05:04Darian, why would you ask that?
05:06It's nothing, my heart.
05:08You don't know how afraid I was when I found you gone.
05:11I feared something had happened to you, like it did before.
05:14He dares to bring up the day I lost my sight for him.
05:18I really want to confront him.
05:20He said he never wanted me hurt.
05:22Then why do this to me?
05:23Why would he leave me at our own wedding just to go to bed with Cassia?
05:29It was Cassia.
05:30I didn't expect her.
05:32Who told you to come here?
05:33I said stay away from Alara.
05:34My lord, I can't sleep without you.
05:37Let me stay one night.
05:38No.
05:39What if Alara finds out?
05:41Leave.
05:41Now.
05:42Are you sure you want me to go, my lord?
05:45Seven times already, and you still want more?
05:48Keep quiet.
05:49Don't wake Alara.
05:49I couldn't believe it.
05:51He'd been sleeping around, and now he'd even brought her into our home.
05:55What does he even think I am to him?
05:57I forced the tremor out of my voice.
06:00Darian, who was at the door?
06:02Just a courier, my heart.
06:04Wrong house.
06:05He's gone now.
06:06I have work in the study tonight.
06:08Go on to bed.
06:10The study door closed, and I could hear their heavy breathing.
06:14Eight years together, and it was all a joke.
06:16It mocked me for how foolish I had been.
06:19He must have thought I was fast asleep.
06:21The sounds grew louder, and did not stop until dawn.
06:25That whole night, I never slept once.
06:28The next morning, Darian sent the servants away, and set out my breakfast himself.
06:34Cassia came out of the guest room wearing one of my gowns.
06:37She sat on Darian's lap, and fed him broth by hand.
06:40Darian raised a brow, and slid a hand under her gown.
06:43Darian leaned to her ear, and murmured,
06:46Nothing on underneath?
06:47All for your convenience, my lord.
06:49Cassia bit her lip, and leaned in close to him.
06:52They played their game, certain the blind girl saw nothing.
06:55She wore my gown, and sat where I should sit.
06:58Watching all this, I couldn't eat a bite.
07:01No appetite, my heart?
07:03I'll have something else made.
07:05No need.
07:06I'm just nervous.
07:08Tomorrow we marry.
07:10He smiled, and took my hand.
07:40After eight years together, you're still nervous?
07:42I can't wait either.
07:44He would weep, he said.
07:46He would not even be there to see me.
07:48I have never been a weak woman.
07:51But watching him hurry away, I finally let the tears fall.
07:55I had wasted eight years of real feeling.
07:58We had buried our love together.
08:00I spoke softly to the empty room.
08:03Darian, tomorrow's wedding has nothing to do with you anymore.
08:09The next day at noon, the wedding began.
08:12As I stepped onto the dais, Corrin came up smiling, holding the echo stone.
08:18Corrin pretended to be Darian and had me take his arm.
08:21The guest looked lost, about to ask where the groom was.
08:24Then the echo stone carried Darian's voice into the hall.
08:28Today is my wedding with Alara.
08:30Sit quietly and enjoy the feast.
08:32Don't ruin my wedding, or you'll answer to me.
08:35His cruelty was well known.
08:36No one dared make trouble at his wedding.
08:38The guests fell silent.
08:40Lord Darian, will you take Alara as your wife?
08:43To cherish her, protect her, and never betray her?
08:48In Cassia's house across the city, Darian pressed her down and tilted her chin up.
08:53I do.
08:54My lady, will you take Lord Darian as your husband?
08:58In Cassia's house, Darian sits back with his eyes closed, waiting.
09:03He was so certain of my answer.
09:06He thought his blind bride had no choice but to say yes.
09:09He never imagined the blind girl saw everything.
09:13Eight years I gave this man.
09:15He spent all of it and thought I would still thank him for it.
09:19Not anymore.
09:20This wedding was never his to keep.
09:22I drew my hand back from Corrin's arm.
09:25I will not.
09:31The Echo Stone went quiet for a breath.
09:34Then Darian's voice came through, forcing a laugh.
09:37Alara, stop this.
09:39It's our wedding, the one we longed for.
09:41I'm not kidding.
09:42I don't want to be your wife.
09:44Why are you unwilling?
09:48Before I could answer, the hall doors swung open.
09:52Casplen's voice resounded throughout the altar.
09:55Because she will become my wife.
09:59It was Casplen.
10:00Eight years gone, and he had come.
10:03He walked in dressed like a lord and stopped before me.
10:07Forgive me, Alara.
10:08I was ambushed on the way here.
10:11I went to prepare a gift for you.
10:13It took a little time.
10:14He clapped his hands once.
10:16Servants brought in countless jewels.
10:19Two chests held nothing but rings.
10:22Each one held a fire gem the size of a dove's egg.
10:25There are bigger ones.
10:27I thought these would be easier for you to wear.
10:29Wear whichever one you like.
10:31Then came the gowns.
10:33Eight bridal gowns.
10:35Each one heavy with fine work.
10:37For eight years in my own lands, I designed one gown a year.
10:41I hoped that one day, you might wear one for me.
10:44Looking at everything before me, I couldn't help but cry.
10:48Darian didn't care about me, but Caspen cherished me deeply.
10:54He prepared so much for me.
10:59Caspen, thank you.
11:01Who is this lord?
11:02Whose house sends jewels and gold like that?
11:08Darian's voice was filled with anger.
11:10Who the hell are you?
11:11This is my wedding with Allura.
11:13Get out!
11:14Corrin rushed at Casper to shove him off the daunts.
11:17You've got the wrong person, friend.
11:19That's my friend's wife.
11:20Don't make trouble.
11:21Caspian caught him and forced him down underfoot.
11:24Corrin dropped to the floor, the echo stone falling from his hand.
11:28Caspian picked it up and smiled coldly at the voice inside.
11:32You have the nerve to call this your wedding?
11:34This is how you wed her?
11:36You took advantage of her blindness and ran off to sleep with another woman.
11:40You're not worthy of her.
11:43Then Caspen drew out a sceptin glass and held it high.
11:46The glass lit up.
11:47On its surface, the far room appeared for all to see.
11:51There was Darian, bare and tangled with Cassia, deep in their fill.
12:00The whole hall gasped and could not look away.
12:03So the great Lord Darian ran from his own wedding for this?
12:09Allura went blind, saving him.
12:12Darian is heartless.
12:14Every gaze that once admired Darian now turned away in disgust.
12:18Corrin scrambled up, pointing at the glass.
12:21That... that's not how it is.
12:22Not what it looks like.
12:24Lord Darian's naked in another woman's bed.
12:27You swore he was here as the groom.
12:28You lied to her face.
12:30I was only doing what the captain told me.
12:32You've gone too far, bullying a blind girl.
12:35Corrin had no answer.
12:36He just backed into the crowd.
12:38All of you shut your mouths!
12:40You want to lose everything?
12:41Even now, he was glad I couldn't see.
12:44As long as I never knew.
12:45He had ways to bury this.
12:47So I smiled toward him, the way he always loved.
12:50I saw him breathe a sigh of relief.
12:52Then I stopped smiling and turned to the glass.
12:55Darian, is it fun bedding another woman instead of coming to our wedding?
12:59Darian went dead quiet.
13:01Allura, you... you can see?
13:05His voice shook.
13:06Aside from the day he confessed his feelings, I've never seen him so flustered.
13:10Yes, I've been able to see for a while now.
13:13Ever since the day you and Kashia were tangled together on that diva.
13:16Are you disappointed?
13:17No, of course I'm glad you can see.
13:19I only...
13:20You didn't expect me to regain my sight so quickly.
13:22You never thought I'd ruin your plan to run off and cheat.
13:24Allura, that's not...
13:25It wasn't like that.
13:26Let me explain.
13:27Explain what?
13:28I watched you.
13:30There is nothing left to explain.
13:32I've been waiting for this moment.
13:33I want to ruin his reputation in front of everyone.
13:36Darian had nothing left to say for himself.
13:39I turned to the steward and gave a small nod.
13:41Bring the groom's brooch.
13:43Give it to the man who actually showed up.
13:45The steward hurried over and pinned Kasplan's brooch to his chest.
13:49What are you doing?
13:50That brooch is mine!
13:52This is my wedding!
13:53Why give it to him?
13:54Not anymore.
13:55I've already repaid you for the hall and the musicians.
13:58I paid them twice over.
14:00This is my wedding with Allura now.
14:01I looked straight at the man who once had my heart.
14:04Darian, I have seen enough of you and Cassia to last a lifetime.
14:08Now it's your turn.
14:09Sit there and watch me marry someone else.
14:13Then I took the echo stone from Kasplan's hand and smashed it on the floor.
14:17His voice cut out.
14:18I changed into one of the gowns Kasplan had made for me.
14:22I have waited eight years for this day.
14:24Then from today, you won't wait anymore.
14:27Kasplan took my hands and the officier spoke the rules.
14:31The vows were said and I kissed Kasplan in front of them all.
14:35I said goodbye to my youth.
14:37In Cassia's house, Darian could no longer sit still.
14:40He had watched me wed another man at the wedding he paid for.
14:44He had watched me kiss Kasplan and it nearly broke him.
14:48Darian knew.
14:49I meant to make him taste every pain I had tasted through the whole reet.
14:53I never once looked his way.
14:56When it ended, the glass went dark on him.
14:59He clutched his head.
15:00Why?
15:01Why had he never known my sight was back?
15:03If he had known, he would never have done those things.
15:07Then he remembered.
15:08He and Cassia had done it all in front of me, even in our home.
15:12He did not dare think further.
15:14He seized an echo stone and roared for my healer.
15:18The sight came back.
15:19Why did no one tell me?
15:20My lady asked me to keep it quiet.
15:22She said she wanted to surprise you.
15:24Darian smashed the echo stone to pieces.
15:26He had to find me and beg.
15:28Somehow he had to win me back.
15:32Cassia pressed close to him, sweet as ever.
15:35My lord, what's so good about her?
15:38Isn't it better she married someone else?
15:40I'm the one who suits you.
15:42Come, let's continue.
15:44Shut your mouth!
15:45What right do you have to speak of her?
15:47You were nothing but a toy I paid for.
15:49What do you think you are?
15:50A toy?
15:51Stop playing the devoted lover.
15:53You're no better than me.
15:54And your precious Aleema is no saint either.
15:57She knew long ago you'd never show up at the wedding.
16:00What did you say?
16:01How could she know that?
16:03Because I told her.
16:05Of course.
16:07Cassia burst out laughing like a madwoman.
16:10Darian seized her by the throat.
16:12I warned you.
16:14Reappear in front of her and I'd make you beg to die.
16:18Alara and I ended because of you.
16:21Darian let go and smiled, ugly and cold.
16:25You like men so much?
16:29Fine.
16:29I'll grant your wish.
16:33He sold Cassia to a rich merchant in a far city.
16:36The man was known for his cruel tastes.
16:39By then I had already moved out of that house and into Caspith's manor.
16:44Caspith went to bathe.
16:45I stood alone on the terrace, the night wind in my hair.
16:48My life had turned out nothing like I planned.
16:51Tonight was my wedding night, but the groom was no longer the man I once dreamed of.
16:56When I met Darian, he was just a street thug leading a gang in Ember Hole.
17:00One night, my handmaid fell ill, and I slipped out alone to fetch a healer.
17:04On the way back, a drunk blocked my path and reached for me.
17:08Then Darian and his brothers appeared out of nowhere.
17:12They beat the man down and dragged him to the city watch.
17:15Then he lifted his chin at me, all swagger.
17:18A highborn lady?
17:19If this ever happens again, come find me.
17:22I caught the envy hidden in his eyes when he said highborn.
17:26Later I learned his family was poor.
17:29He couldn't afford a horse or a blade.
17:31He had no family name to lean on.
17:34Darian was too proud to take charity.
17:37So I found another way.
17:42I need a sworn sword.
17:44Someone who can fight.
17:46You'll do.
17:47I don't need a lady's pity.
17:49It's not pity.
17:51This is an equal exchange.
17:53Fine.
17:55But I'm worth double whatever you're offering.
17:57That was how it began.
17:59After that, we came together as if it were the most natural thing.
18:02He was clever.
18:03He mastered anything he touched.
18:06He built his warband from nothing and won a lordship.
18:09Then a rival house grew jealous and sent men to teach him a lesson.
18:13To save him, an iron rod struck the back of my head.
18:17The world went dark.
18:19Dariel held me as blood ran down my face, crying like a child.
18:22Stay with me.
18:24I'll be your eyes.
18:26For the rest of my life, I'll be your eyes.
18:28I'll give you the grandest wedding this realm has ever seen.
18:31I will never betray you.
18:33Never.
18:34It was such a pity.
18:36He kept none of it.
18:42Caspian appeared at some point and saw my mood at once.
18:47Alara, I know you married me to strike back at Darian.
18:50If you don't love me, I'll end this marriage.
18:52Tomorrow I'll declare it void.
18:53To the whole realm.
18:55I grew up beside Caspian, cold and proud to everyone but me.
18:58He loved me quietly for years, but young girls always fall for the wild ones.
19:02So I chose Darian.
19:04Caspian left for his own distant lands, heartbroken.
19:07He never came back, yet every scrap of news about me found its way to him.
19:11Whenever my health turned poor, a warm cloak would arrive a day ahead.
19:14After I went blind, I was terrified.
19:17I couldn't sleep through a single night.
19:19Darian spent those nights tangled up with Cassia,
19:21but Caspian would hold his echo stone in the rain, letting me hear the sound.
19:25He did it all night without a word.
19:28As a child, I fell asleep fastest to the sound of rain.
19:31He remembered.
19:33Careless Darian could never have done any of this.
19:36I reached up and covered Caspian's mouth, shaking my head with a smile.
19:40Caspian, I chose to marry you.
19:42I will never regret it.
19:43Tomorrow, we hold another wedding.
19:46A real one, just for us.
19:50The next day, Caspian and I held our own wedding, small and quiet.
19:54No guests, just the two of us.
19:55We had just stepped out when a voice cracked behind us.
19:58Hilara?
19:59Darian stood there, dark circles under his eyes, staring at the two of us.
20:02He pointed at Caspian, his hand shaking.
20:04You really married him?
20:07Not just a show?
20:08That's right.
20:09His eyes went wide.
20:10He could hardly believe it.
20:11You were only pretending to punish me.
20:15That was all it was.
20:16How could you actually marry someone else?
20:19He lunged toward me.
20:20Get out of my way!
20:21Caspian stepped in and blocked his way.
20:23Darian blew up fighting.
20:24He was the best blade in his own company.
20:26Caspian wasn't ready for it.
20:27The punch knocked him to the ground, blood at the corner of his mouth.
20:30Darian raised his fist again.
20:31I threw myself over Caspian and shielded him with my body.
20:34If you still want to swing, then beat me to death first.
20:38Darian froze, his fist stopped in the air.
20:40You're shorting him?
20:41You're actually shorting him?
20:43He used to stand in front of me.
20:45Only me.
20:46You said it yourself.
20:48That was before.
20:50I am Caspian's wife now.
20:53Stay away from my husband.
20:55Darian broke down as he leaned.
20:58No!
20:59I don't accept this!
21:00We were together eight years!
21:02How could you throw me away?
21:04Don't you find yourself laughable, Darian?
21:07You betrayed us first, and you ran from our own wedding.
21:10You made a fool of me the whole time.
21:12How dare you bring up those eight years?
21:14He grabbed my wrist.
21:16I was wrong.
21:16His eyes full of regret.
21:18I truly know I was wrong.
21:19I refused Caspian.
21:21I swear I refused her so many times, but...
21:24But you couldn't hold yourself back.
21:26Isn't that right?
21:27He had no answer.
21:28I went blind saving you.
21:29I never once asked for anything in return.
21:32If you had told me your heart had changed, I would have let you go.
21:35I can love.
21:37And I can let go.
21:39But I will never forgive what you did.
21:42You used my blindness as your license to cheat.
21:47Darian was crying now.
21:49He pulled out the fire gem ring and held it up to me, begging.
21:52I dealt with Cassia.
21:54I swear.
21:55I will never wrong you again.
21:59Give me one more chance.
22:01We'll hold a new wedding.
22:04You can carve out my eyes.
22:06I won't resist.
22:08Just come back to me.
22:09I looked down at the ring.
22:11He once said he'd give me a ring like no other.
22:13That was my place in his heart.
22:15He could barely draw a straight line.
22:17For this ring, he drew hundreds of designs until one was worthy.
22:20He said love can weather anything.
22:22Yes, love can weather anything.
22:24But once betrayed, love falls apart for good.
22:27Darian, it's filthy.
22:29How dare you hold it up in front of me.
22:32Stop clinging to me.
22:34Leave us both a last shred of dignity.
22:36Don't make me feel that knowing you was the greatest mistake of my life.
22:39All the blood drained from his face.
22:42He sank to his knees before me.
22:45I didn't look at him again.
22:48I took Caspian's arm and walked away.
22:54The scandal spread through Emberhold within days.
22:57Every noble house in the city was talking about it at their tables.
23:01Darian shut himself away in his manner.
23:03His captains came to him one by one and not to bow.
23:08Hello.
23:09Welcome to return this.
23:10The man unbuckled the blade Darian had gifted him and laid it on the table.
23:14What is this?
23:15You've swore your sword to me.
23:18We followed you because you were to marry into a dragon house.
23:21Her house, her dragons, her name.
23:23That was the future we bet on.
23:24Now the match is Ash.
23:26You're a lord with no dragons and no name.
23:29You're nothing.
23:30Get out!
23:32All of you get out!
23:33They got out.
23:35By nightfall, half of them had knelt at the doors of House Valor.
23:37The nobles who once lined up with gifts now shut their doors to him.
23:42Darian stood alone in his half-empty hall.
23:44All of this had been his.
23:46The wedding, the dragons, the standing, the full tables.
23:49He had thrown all of it away for Kasha.
23:51His steward crept in pale.
23:54My lord, the last of the house guard left this morning.
23:58And the coffards...
24:01The coffards won't see us through the winter.
24:03Darian said nothing.
24:05He only clenched the fire-gum ring in his fist.
24:08He never got to the king.
24:12Darian never left Emberhold.
24:14He sold off the last of his farmland and kept that empty manor.
24:17My days with Caspian were another world entirely.
24:19He handed me the keys to House Valor's great manor.
24:22Years ago I studied design for a wedding home that was never mine.
24:25Now it finally served me.
24:27Every tapestry I chose, every chair I placed, he never questioned once.
24:30If you chose it, then it's right.
24:32That day we came back from the market and the carriage stopped at our gates.
24:35Darian stood at the street corner.
24:37No one knew how long he had waited.
24:39He had grown thin.
24:41His clothes were still decent, but that old swagger was gone.
24:44He didn't dare come closer.
24:45He only watched me from across the street.
24:47But Caspian stepped down first and turned to help me.
24:50Darian took half a step forward, then stopped.
24:53I passed right in front of him without pausing.
24:55At last he spoke, his voice very small.
24:57Alara, I won't bother you.
24:59I just wanted to see if you're doing well.
25:02I didn't look back.
25:05Caspian stopped for me and said only one thing.
25:08She is doing well.
25:10And she will be.
25:11Always.
25:12The gates closed behind us.
25:14Darian stood outside for a long, long time until the sky went dark.
25:21That night, the steward came in quietly.
25:24My lady, the man outside is still standing there.
25:28I looked through the window once, a lone figure in the rain, then I let the curtain fall.
25:32The night before we left, Caspian spread a great map across the study table.
25:36It was covered in small marks.
25:39The marks showed which city held its festival each month.
25:42They showed which mountain roads opened only in spring.
25:45On my fifth name day, I had wished to see every wonderful place under the sky.
25:49He remembered it all these years.
25:51But in those same days, filth was being poured all over Emberhold.
25:54Someone was spreading rumors through the taverns and the noble tables.
25:57That I had been tangled up with Caspian long before I ever wed Darian.
26:00That I had faked my blindness to play to men against each other.
26:03That I was a cursed woman, and whoever wed me would see his house fall.
26:07Look at Lord Darian.
26:09His house is already ash.
26:11Whoever weds that woman is next.
26:14We soon traced the rumors to their source.
26:17A wild-haired woman, thin as bone, going tavern to tavern with her stories.
26:22It was Kasha.
26:23She had escaped from that merchant.
26:27The rumors reached the council hall of House Valor.
26:30The elders came together right in front of me to demand he send me away.
26:34My lord, her ladyship's birth is noble beyond question.
26:37But her name is now dragged through every gutter in this city.
26:40And the last house that meant to wed her fell to ruin overnight.
26:44It may be an ill omen.
26:45For the sake of the house, send her away.
26:48Caspian heard them out.
26:49Are you finished?
26:50Then he took my hand in front of them all.
26:53If she is a curse, then so be it.
26:55House Valor stood three hundred years for exactly this.
26:58If anyone speaks against my wife again, lay down your belief and leave this house.
27:03The elders looked at one another and no one spoke again.
27:06That night, the steward rushed in.
27:08My lady, someone saw that madwoman outside our gates today.
27:13She has been circling the manor for days.
27:17That morning, the servants loaded the carriage.
27:19I stood at the gates waiting for Caspian to fetch the last of the luggage.
27:23Then I turned my head.
27:25Darian was standing in front of the carriage.
27:27Alara, I heard you're leaving today.
27:29I came to apologize to your face.
27:32I'm sorry.
27:33I betrayed you.
27:34I lied to you.
27:35I hurt you.
27:35I know sorry is too light a word.
27:38But I owed you these words and I wanted to say them myself.
27:41I looked at him and said nothing.
27:43Then a shriek tore out of the bushes.
27:47Alara, it's all because of you, you bitch, that I ended up like this.
27:51Kasha burst out from the bushes.
27:53Her hair was wild, her cheeks sunken, her body thin as bone.
27:55She was covered in bite marks, some still bleeding.
27:57The knife in her hand pointed straight at me.
27:59Her eyes were red and she screamed with everything left in her.
28:02Why?
28:02Why do you get everything?
28:04Dragons, a house, a name.
28:06Two men gone mad for you.
28:08And me?
28:09I was sold to that beast and tortured like an animal every single day.
28:12We're both women.
28:13Why do you stand in the light while I rot in the mud?
28:15I looked at her and did not step back.
28:17Because I never depend on men to live.
28:19All of this is your own doing.
28:21Kasha's face twisted completely.
28:22She raised the knife and lunged at me, screaming.
28:24Then go die!
28:26It happened to fast.
28:29Alara, watch out!
28:31It happened to fast.
28:33Darian's hand yanked me back hard.
28:35The knife sank deep into Darian's chest.
28:39Kasha pulled the blade out and turned it on me again.
28:42Caspian reached us and sent her flying with one kick.
28:46I knelt down beside Darian.
28:48Are you alright?
28:49Blood kept pouring from his mouth.
28:51He looked at me and smiled as if he were finally at ease.
28:55Then he closed his eyes and never opened them again.
28:58He once swore to be my eyes for life.
29:00Now he died right in front of me.
29:02The city watch took Kasha away.
29:04She was condemned to hang for murder.
29:06Only later did I learn what had happened to her.
29:09Darian had sold her to that merchant.
29:10That man had friends with the same cruel tastes.
29:12They tormented her day after day in ways no person should ever know.
29:17When it excited them, they bit into her flesh.
29:20She came to believe it was all my doing.
29:22So she escaped and came to kill me.
29:26Caspian and I arranged Darian's funeral.
29:28Only a few people came.
29:30His captains had once drunk at his table.
29:31His hall had once been full of nobles.
29:34Now none of them came.
29:35He had wanted the grandest wedding in Emberhold.
29:37In the end his funeral was so quiet it felt desolate.
29:40I stood before his grave for a long time.
29:43The rain started again.
29:45Caspian held the umbrella over me and said nothing at all.
29:48When the funeral was over, we finally set out.
29:51The journey that had waited far too long.
29:53First we would see the ice falls up north.
29:56Then came the flower fields in the south.
30:00We would stop at festivals along the way.
30:03The wish I made at five, he returned to me one stop at a time.
30:07One night on the road, rain fell outside the inn window.
30:11Caspian suddenly spoke.
30:12Don't you want to know what he never finished saying that day?
30:16No.
30:17Perhaps the man I saved back then was only a stranger named Darian.
30:21And the boy I once loved so deeply died forever on that night.
30:24A year later we returned to Emberhold.
30:26I was with child.
30:29Caspian worried himself sick over every little thing.
30:34He held my arm even when I took the stairs.
30:37The day our child was born, rain was falling softly outside the window.
30:41Caspian carried the baby to my bedside.
30:46From now on two of us will be here.
30:49On every rainy night we'll help you sleep sound.
30:52It's so good to have you by my side.
30:54Three years passed in a blink.
30:57Our son learned to run.
30:59He chased the dragon's shadows across the courtyard all day long.
31:10One stormy night thunder rolled and he came padding into our room, clutching his blanket.
31:15Mama, I can't sleep.
31:18I pulled him up between us and held him close.
31:22Listen to the rain.
31:24When I was small, rain was my lullaby.
31:28Someone once brought the sound of rain to me, night after night, from very far away.
31:34Who?
31:35I looked at Caspian over our son's head.
31:37Caspian was already smiling.
31:42Your father.
31:46The rain fell on soft against the window, and all three of us slept soundly until morning.
31:51The rain fell on soft against the window, and all three of us slept soundly until morning.
31:53The rain fell on Abyss onreathed.
31:54The rain was on earth.
31:55The rain saw on the ground.
