00:01my parents hated me as the daughter of the mermaid lord i was a mute with no power at all
00:08so my
00:08parents gave everything to my perfect older sister they even forced me to take her place
00:13to marry the dying sea serpent prince kane he had been hurt in the war with the shark clan
00:18the healer said he would die this winter and by the old rule if the prince died after marriage
00:23his mate had to die with him everything started two weeks ago the abyssal palace sent down the
00:28marriage contract my sister serena's name was on it they wanted her but she let the document fall
00:33to the seabed i will not marry him he is dying why should i go i am going to be
00:38queen of the mermaid
00:39clan not a widow with the dead water my parents turned and looked at me they did not even bother
00:43to hide it then let lila go she matches him well enough a mutant dying prince no one asked me
00:50they
00:50decided my life in a few words but they did not know my secret i only pretended to be mute
00:55my words
00:55had magic whatever i said would come true go without worry sister when he is gone i will come
01:03to the abyssal palace myself and bring you home she was lying i did not want to go leela you
01:10are
01:10grown now you should be useful to this clan for once neither of them looked sorry not for one second
01:15i kept my head down and said nothing because on the day i was born the high elder put a
01:19tear pearl
01:20into my hands every newborn's first cry makes it ring mine stayed dark i stayed silent it had never
01:26happened before in a thousand years my father ruled the mermaid clan and i was his shame on the
01:32day they sent me there was no ceremony two elders took me down through the deep reef passage nobody else
01:37came you are a mute with no magic you are lucky to marry a prince you should be thanking me
01:43do not
01:44worry when they put you in the dead water i will come to get your body door was closing i
01:51caught my
01:51parents faces one last time there was nothing in their eyes but disgust something inside my chest
01:56squeezed shut they only ever cared about serena never once about me a bride sent to her wedding
02:01with no family swimming beside her i must have been the first kane was too weak to a ceremony we
02:06reached the abyssal palace and there was no wedding at all they took me straight to his chambers
02:12a maid warned me on the way the prince cannot stand noise his chambers are at the lowest end of
02:17the
02:17palace please be patient with him my lady i nodded softly then i saw it in the corner a cold
02:22stone
02:23vessel its rim already smoothed for sealing so it was true my parents had sent me here to go to
02:28death
02:28in serena's place the maid settled me onto a coral seat my lady the prince is on the ledge i
02:34will leave
02:34you now the door closed the water went very still he was dying for the weight of him still filled
02:39the
02:39entire room he had to be the youngest war god ever the sea serpent prince come here i moved closer
02:45careful slow the moment i settled he pulled the veil off my face i looked up and met his eyes
02:50pale as
02:51winter water the cold came off him in slow waves this was the one who held the border against the
02:56shark clan alone for three days and nights and broke their army by himself he got hurt badly to save
03:01our
03:01world but now he was going to die he looked at me with no expression at all then he put
03:06a folded bundle
03:06into my hands i know you did not want to marry me and i will not hurt an innocent woman
03:10here is my
03:12royal pass it will open any door in the deep realm and enough tear pearls for a good life anywhere
03:16you can go now i stared at him then i pointed at the door he would really let me leave
03:22he understood
03:22me instantly nobody in your clan loves you going back to your home would not be better take the pass
03:29and the pearls and go better than dying with me is it not he was right i did not want
03:33to die here
03:34i had never wanted to be here in serena's place but none of it had ever been mine to choose
03:39and
03:39then i realized something he had known all along that serena would not be the one they sent
03:44i do not care who came i did not want this marriage but my parents forced it and you paid
03:48for it
03:49i do not need anyone to give up her life for me you should go now then his head turned
03:53blood came out
03:54of his mouth and clouded the water between us then he was coughing so hard the ledge shook
03:58leave me go while you can i know what is happening to my core every healer in the deep realm
04:04has looked
04:04at it a cracked core does not mend i will not drag you down with me i stayed beside him
04:08we just met
04:09but he wanted to save me in his last moments i was touched you truly will not go and once
04:14my parents
04:15learned i had run they would hunt me through every reef in the deep realm there was only one way
04:19for me
04:19to live kane had to live too he was quiet for a long moment then he asked again even knowing
04:24that when
04:24i go into the dead water they seal you in beside me i nodded he held my eyes for a
04:30while before he
04:31spoke all right then hear this as long as i am alive i will protect you nobody in this palace
04:38will
04:38touch you i helped him settle on the ledge then i went to the low shelf across the chamber soon
04:43his
04:43breathing slowed and evened out i let out a breath and i spoke very softly you are going to be
04:49the
04:49strongest thing in the deep realm everything will be fine
04:55was that you speaking just now i shut my eyes tight and did not answer he settled back and laughed
05:00at
05:00himself every soul in this palace knows she has no voice how could that be her i really am close
05:05to the
05:05end and hearing things i lay there stiff terrified he would find out only when his breathing evened out
05:10again did i open my eyes i rose a little and watched him sleep you are going to get better
05:15you are from the day i was born i never showed a trace of power and from that time my
05:20parents gave
05:21up on me some days they would not even name me as their daughter when serena was small she swam
05:26too
05:26far along the outer reefs i trailed behind her out of sight i just wanted to know what was out
05:30there
05:30go away and it did it turned and slid back into the dark but serena ran back crying she told
05:36our parents
05:36they blamed me anyway you drew that thing here you are cursed and you bring wild things with you
05:42your sister is going to be queen if anything happens to her i will make you pay for it after
05:47that i never spoke a word to anyone again they all decided the tear pearl had been right everyone
05:52thought i was a mute not one of them knew the truth the next morning kane woke and lay there
05:58for a long
05:58time without moving i brought him breakfast and looked a question at him he touched his ribs
06:02then the center of his chest where the core sits and he could not keep the shock off his face
06:08it does
06:08not hurt why does it not hurt i rubbed his back for him kane let out a slow breath since
06:14the day
06:14they cracked my core i have woken every morning been painful from the inside out it went through
06:18my whole body i wanted to die from it but today the pain gone i smiled at him kane my
06:24words come true
06:25you are going to be well in the last war i had no power at all they would not even
06:29let me near the
06:30border i only heard about him from my parents and serena the sea rep and prince is unbelievable
06:35he broke thousands of them alone serena train harder marry him soon but when they heard kane
06:40was dying they sent me instead kane caught my hand leela there was no ceremony yesterday that
06:46was my fault i feel better today let me take you to meet my parents he was doing it for
06:51me everyone
06:51knew i was just a replacement but he wanted to protect my pride and stop the mean whispers
06:55he was going to walk me in there at his side so nobody could whisper something in my chest went
07:00warm
07:01can you help me up i nodded and took his arm he pulled against my weight and rose off the
07:05ledge
07:06once he was steady usually moving even a little hurt like knives this time there was nothing not
07:13even discomfort what was happening to me i saw his shocked face i held his arm and walked out slowly
07:21kane you gave me your pass and a way to live though i didn't accept it i will never forget
07:27that from
07:27today everything changes you will be the strongest male again and when that day comes i will do as
07:32you asked i will go up where the light reaches and live my life the abyssal palace sat deeper than
07:38light could reach its bloodline was the oldest in the deep realm kane was a pure ancient sea serpent
07:43i was just a normal mermaid with no power if serena did not say no i would never be here
07:48his chambers
07:48were far from the great hall the household staff saw us coming and could not hide their shock
07:52oh god why is the prince holding self up did his new mate drag him out here she must have
07:57how dare
07:58she who does she think she is some powerless girl out of a reef clan humiliating our prince like this
08:03i stopped moving my hand went stiff on his arm i wanted to pull my hand back kane held it
08:08he was
08:08about to speak then the captain of the guard came rushing in and went white my lady no he cannot
08:14be out
08:14of his chambers he cannot walk you are killing him you are his wife how can you care so little
08:22back off kane's voice was cold but it sounded much stronger than before i felt it i was not the
08:27only
08:27one who noticed kane's hand went to his own throat he looked down at the captain and his face went
08:32hard
08:32how dare you no one questions my wife
08:38forgive me the captain went straight to the floor of the passage he had clearly not expected the prince to
08:43burn like that over me i only fear for you the healers said you must rest you should not walk
08:49out
08:49i know what i am doing kane took my hand in front of all of them and his voice softened
08:54come wife
08:56let us go in the great hall what met me was not a cold stare it was the queen's warm
09:01hands she caught
09:02hold of me she looked at kane then she looked back at me with pain in her eyes my child
09:07you have
09:08suffered welcome to join in our family she drew me to the long table sit down and eat you are
09:15far
09:15too thin i don't know how you're holding yourself up i looked at kane first and settled him into his
09:20seat then i bowed to the sea serpent king and queen the queen stopped me and held me up we
09:24are family now
09:25the table was covered in things i had never seen in my life she pressed a small pearl into my
09:29hand
09:30heavy with power cold to the touch a tear pearl it will strengthen you though you have no power of
09:35your
09:35own this will help your body take it my eyes stung and the tears went loose into the water i
09:41never
09:41thought they would be so nice to me i was just a fake bride my family threw me away and
09:46they treated
09:46me like this they watched me waiting until i put the pearl into my mouth it melted the moment it
09:51touched my tongue and for the first time in my life i felt the power turning at my core running
09:56out
09:56to my hands and down to the end of my tail it feel good i looked at the food and
10:00suddenly i was
10:01starving i sat down and ate like something wild at mermaid clan i was hungry more days than not
10:06nobody remembered i was the lord's daughter to them i was the lowest servant in the clan i watched
10:11serena and my parents eat when they finished i was allowed what was left food like this had never once
10:16come to me soon i ate most of the food on the table i put down my knife and then
10:20it hit me oh no
10:21they will think i have no manners will they send me back will they ask for serena instead i gripped
10:26my
10:26sleeve i looked up at them and waited for it to come are you still hungry quick bring more then
10:33queen's voice was gentle she was not mad at all only worry that i had not eaten enough i froze
10:38and
10:38looked up in surprise the rulers of the oldest bloodline in the deep realm they only looked at
10:42me with love and care kane picked up his cup and moved the food from his own plate onto mine
10:46slowly
10:47no one is going to take it from you do whatever you like here do not be scared i met
10:52his eyes and my
10:53chest felt warm i nodded the king and queen both smiled at me kane is right this is your home
10:58now
10:58nobody should be careful in their own home i thought my life here would be hard but everyone
11:02was very nice to me i stayed at kane's side every day i saw him get better and better but
11:07something
11:07was still bothering me there was an old custom among the reef clans after a wedding the bride's
11:12family must visit the palace after the wedding my parents were coming tomorrow i was sick with nerves
11:16about it and then something i did not expect serena came with them she was not supposed to come
11:22serena was the brightest one the mermaid clan had ever produced her scales threw light even in the
11:27dark she swam up to me with her chin high you look well sis a shame the good days are
11:32almost over she
11:33was warning me kane was going to die once he died i would have to die with him but she
11:38did not know
11:38kane was already healing he was not going to die i did not react so when no one was looking
11:43serena grabbed
11:44my wrist and squeezed her nails drew blood i never understood why she hated me so much i drew back
11:50without thinking she leaned in close and dropped her voice don't think a dying man's name makes you
11:54anything in front of me always you're a powerless loser you always will be then she shoved me hard
12:00i fell back and i watched her put on a lovely smile and settle in beside our parents please help
12:05yourselves the queen was warm with them then she waved at me leela come sit beside me kane sat on
12:12my left
12:12and put food on my plate nothing about him looked like a man with weeks left to raise a girl
12:17this sweet
12:17is something to be proud of and there was real affection in the way she looked at me you are
12:21too
12:21kind as long as leela is not causing you trouble i am satisfied we are very happy with leela look
12:28at
12:28the two of them he will never treat her badly i promise you that serena's face changed in an instant
12:33her eyes locked on kane's hand as he served me leela have you no manners at all how can you
12:40let
12:40the prince serve you you shame all of our families in front of the entire table serena rose and bowed
12:49low to the king and queen she acted like she was doing the right thing for her family leela does
12:53not know how to behave that is my failure i never taught her properly i apologize for her leela was
13:00spoiled in our clan and has no idea how to conduct herself here please forgive her every word of it
13:06said
13:06the same thing she was the bright one and i was a girl with no breeding i lowered my head
13:11you are
13:12wrong kane's hand closed over mine he gave her one cold look she is my wife nobody judges what she
13:18does
13:18not even you the room got very quiet you look much better prince this is wonderful news kane smiled and
13:25said it plainly i got better because of leela it is all her help serena had never once expected him
13:31to defend me like that she had been the favorite her whole life she tried to stay quiet but she
13:35could
13:35not take it anymore if i remember correctly that marriage paper was written with my name
13:39the one sitting beside you should be me she was not wrong the one abyssal palace had asked was her
13:45absolutely not a marriage is not a game the girl married to my son is leela she is his wife
13:52and the
13:52lady of this palace that is settled and nothing in the deep world is changing it serena panicked but
13:59the paper said you wanted me you cannot go back on it the queen laughed and there was nothing kind
14:04left
14:04in her face what a poor memory you have you were the one who refused my son now he is
14:09better and you
14:11want him back that is not fair do you think the deep realm works that way or do you think
14:17this palace
14:18is something you can entertain yourself with serena drifted there with nothing to say my parents went
14:23red with shame caught her wrist and rose our apologies we will take our leave serena tore her arm free
14:29and
14:30came straight at me she has no voice she has no power she's a loser she's nothing what could you
14:36possibly see in her enough the queen cut her down leela is married to my son she is one of
14:43us this house
14:45answers for its own insult her again and you will learn what that means she took my hand since none
14:50of
14:50you can stand the sight of her do not come again guard see them out the word i heard most
14:57in my life
14:58was loser why is she so useless she is a shame to our clan look at serena she is the
15:04future ruler
15:04maybe lina isn't even theirs when they circled me and laughed my parents only pushed me down into the
15:10lower store rooms so no guests would see me no one ever stood up for me i never knew what
15:14it felt like
15:15to be safe until now good girl do not cry this is your home now no one here will ever
15:21dare hurt you
15:23my mother is right this is your home do not worry about anything anyone who hurts you takes on us
15:29and i will never let them swim away from it
15:35it will strengthen your core take it it will be good for you i looked down at the pale pearl
15:40and stopped
15:41anyone could see how long that had taken to make it was meant for him i pushed it back and
15:45shook my head
15:46from the day you chose to stay you were my wife i told you as long as i live i
15:53protect you
15:55be good and take it i swallowed it and felt the warm come alive deep at my core it spread
16:00through my
16:01body prince it is time for your checkup may i come in
16:08you want him in here
16:12come
16:13kane's face gave away nothing but i could feel how much he hated it the healer worked gently
16:18terrified of setting him off kane sat there like carved stone since the day after the wedding his
16:23pain was gone but a body does strange things at the end maybe this was just his body's last trick
16:27his eyes moved to me and something in him ached
16:35nothing that is enough leave us my my prince what is the matter with you out don't spoil my evening
16:44no my lord your body your wounds are completely healed he dragged in a breath he looked ready to
16:51come out of his own scales your power is all the way back even kane had not seen that coming
16:56what did
16:57you say are you lying to me i am not someone you lie to tell me the truth i can
17:04take it i would
17:06never dare lie to you every word of it is true his eyes were shining he said it again slowly
17:12in case
17:12kane still did not believe him if you doubt me call your power right now
17:20and the moment the cold moved through him the pain that had lived in his core for months was
17:24simply gone the temperature in the chamber dropped several degrees i saw his face change and i smiled
17:28kane they told me you called your power is it true voices came down the path queen rushed in kane
17:34answer me is it true he was still stunned she had to ask twice before he moved yes mother i
17:41knew you
17:41would come back to us the king could not hide it either the three of them held on to each
17:46other in
17:46the middle of the chamber watching them i felt something settle in me i smiled since kane was fine it
17:51was
17:51time for me to leave i turned to walk away but the queen grabbed my hand
17:56she wiped the tears from her eyes my child thank you without you kane would not heal so fast
18:02after the war kane was hurt badly no healers could help him i cried every night
18:08i kept asking why it had to be him they had gone to every reef in the deep realm looking
18:12for someone who
18:13could save him at last they used the old rule they hoped a royal marriage would save his blood
18:18she let out a long breath you should know even if kane died i would not make you go with
18:24him leela
18:25you are not cursed whatever you are you are the best thing that has come into this house love i
18:31had
18:31never felt in my life they did not care that i had no power they did not care that i
18:35had no voice
18:35kane was well and their empire would be strong and as far as i was concerned they had earned it
18:40then
18:40a maid came rushing in and went white my lord the shark clan is mastering at the outer reefs
18:45they will move on us within days it happened too fast the deep council called every clan lord in
18:52the deep realm to the great council the mermaid clan the manta clans every allied line sent their
18:57own kane and i held the front of the hall together my parents sat below us and serena drifted beside
19:02them impossible to miss the shark clan is back and he cannot fight what are we going to do was
19:07the
19:07last war not lesson enough they do not fear us at all if the prince cannot lead then who holds
19:13the
19:14border they came prepared this time look at how they are moving every voice in the hall was worried
19:19i understood them the shark clan was not a small thing our kinds had been at each other's throats
19:24for a thousand years the problem never went away then while the hall was stuck serena rose my lords
19:30my power is strong enough now i will hold the border myself and the prince will not have to the
19:36hall
19:36went quiet with shock truly how far has she come she was desperate for kane to see what she was
19:41i am no weaker now than he was when he broke their army i trust that makes it clear their
19:47eyes lit up
19:48they fell over each other to praise her already then the mermaid clan has raised something extraordinary
19:54the mermaid lord has two daughters one of them is remarkable and the other one he stopped himself
19:58someone with no sense at all finished it for him a mermaid lord's daughter born with no voice and no
20:04power at all honestly the another one suits him far better would you not say so the hall broke into
20:10laughter serena tipped her head back pleased how dare you who told you she was the lesser kane's voice
20:17cut it dead you drift in my hall and insult my wife to her face serena went rigid and the
20:22look she turned
20:23on me was pure hate she could not understand it why would he defend a powerless girl she said it
20:27out
20:28loud in front of all of them am i wrong she's loser what part of her is better than me
20:34she raised her
20:34chin i can stand for the deep realm against the shark clan can she all she can do is hide
20:41behind
20:41other people kane rose and put me behind him enough my wife is not yours to question she is married
20:48to
20:48me she belongs to this house when there goes to war she does not lift a hand she stays behind
20:54me he
20:55took my hand and gave me every bit of his certainty i would never let her take that risk
21:01that one sentence took serena's face apart her fists closed and she shouted save your strength
21:07prince this war rests on me now she laughed thin and ugly or have you forgotten you are not the
21:15one
21:15who broke their army anymore the king and queen came out of their seat and the look they turned on
21:20her would have frozen the water you dare kane moved in front of them and looked straight at serena
21:25the temperature in the hall dropped several degrees at once his power rolled out and filled the chamber
21:31every light in the hall guttered serena felt it hit her she went back a length before she knew she
21:35had
21:36her head came up in disbelief that is not possible the healer said you were finished she was not the
21:41only
21:41one every clan lord in the hall went white and the water erupted with voices but his power is back
21:48it is stronger than before far stronger they told us his core was cracked open they told us he was
21:55dying serena fell back several lengths wrecked how can this be nobody survives a cracked core you have
22:02been lying to all of us kane pulled the cold back into himself and his eyes on her were nothing
22:07at all
22:08i do not need to lie to keep my name i never have my parents rushed to change the subject
22:14before serena
22:15buried herself prince how is this possible because of my wife my power has fully returned his eyes
22:23went around the hall and stopped on serena every word was a warning if anyone slander the lady of
22:28this palace again i will not be merciful the weight in his voice pressed down on the room serena could
22:34not hold it she sank until her tail touched the floor there is no one else in the deep realm
22:39who could
22:39survive a cracked core and come back stronger he is our shield they crowded around kane with their
22:45congratulations serena might as well not have been in the hall she pushed herself up off the floor and
22:51heard the words before she could speak i was out of line earlier that girl is no losers she is
22:57the best
22:57thing ever serena stared at me her face was terrible i knew what she was thinking that the one in
23:03that seat
23:03should have been her my lord the shark clan is coming we need something that ends this for good
23:11if you lead the army yourself we will drive them back every hope in the hall went to kane
23:14serena would not be ignored i will bring a force to support him we strike them from two sides our
23:20odds
23:20improve they talked it over then agreed after the council when the passages were empty serena dragged
23:25me aside watch and see a loser like you is a novelty to him nothing more when this war is
23:31won
23:31he will end the marriage she swam off with her head high i watched her go and shook my head
23:37he will
23:37not the moment i got back to our chambers kane pulled me into his arms did anyone hurt you i
23:43shook
23:43my head i did not want him carrying that too but this war was going to be brutal he read
23:48it before i
23:49could finish the thought lena they are coming with everything i promise you i will be careful he stopped
23:54and if i do go down out there you should take the pass in pearls and you live well do
24:00you understand
24:01i knew what was waiting for him the shark clan had come to finish it this time even at full
24:05power
24:05kane had no guarantee and even facing that he was still building me a way out i shook my head
24:10i am not leaving you i did not leave you then i will not leave you now he held my
24:15hands and tried
24:16again gently patiently listen to me leela they are stronger every year and they have spent everything
24:23on this i will not drag you down with me
24:27the next morning i went out with him to the muster myself the army drifted ready in the open water
24:32and serena was among them she looked down at me like she had already won i ignored her and looked
24:36up into his eyes leela i have arranged everything for you if i die my parents will send you anywhere
24:44you
24:44want they will keep you safe the last time driving the shark clan back had nearly cost him his life
24:53this time he could not promise me he was coming home and still all he thought about was me i
24:58caught
24:58the front of his warplate i rose up close and i put my mouth to his ear kane you will
25:03drive back
25:03the shark clan you will come home safe he went still i pushed him back and smiled at him go
25:09the fighting
25:10was worse than anyone had imagined the shark clan had gone behind everyone's backs and pulled in the
25:14barracuda blood they had come to break the reefs of the deep realm for good but serena did not care
25:19about the danger she used her title to get close to kane prince the shark clan and the baraka blood
25:24together are no small thing what can my sister do for you she has no power i am the one
25:30who can fight
25:30with you when this is one we can tell the lords we will marry what do you say kane did
25:36not spare her a
25:37have some respect for yourself i am lila's husband forever follow the plan take your force around the
25:44rear i do not want anyone acting alone do not ruin the war the light went out of serena's scales
25:49refused
25:50like that in the open with every officer watching she dragged in a breath and held her chin up since
25:55you are so certain i will follow the plan then she turned and pushed out through the camp but back
26:00with
26:00her team she got very mad in her head kane was cold to her for one reason only she had
26:05refused him
26:06first so she would win something so enormous that nobody could deny her she would prove she was worth
26:10a hundred of that voiceless girl and then kane and that whole house would regret it she looked at the
26:15flanking route on the chart my order we turn for the deep reef passage we take the short water we
26:23hit
26:23their camp from behind she wanted him to see which one of us deserve to be at his side my
26:28lady no her
26:29second was drifting in front of her gills working fast that passage is dangerous there might be a trap
26:35the prince told us to follow the plan serena's face twisted and she struck him across the mouth
26:40how dare you i am future ruler of our clan is kane your commander or am i all forces move
26:48out
26:50the soldiers had no choice they followed her in but serena's cleverness was nothing to the things
26:54waiting in that passage the moment the column reached the deep floor shark clan soldiers came
26:58pouring down from every ledge they sealed the mouth of the passage behind them how is this possible
27:03why is there an ambush here serena stared at the rock coming down out of the dark at the black
27:08silt
27:08rolling through the water and she lost her nerve completely the best fighters the mermaid clan had
27:12were caught with nothing most of them were dead or dying inside minutes the screaming came off the
27:17passage walls and doubled back the mermaid soldiers watched the ones they had trained beside go down
27:21one after another and the despair turned into rage if you had stayed on his route none of this would
27:27have happened you arrogant fool you have killed every one of us serena heard all of it and the last
27:32of the light left her scales she threw herself sideways away from a blade her beautiful war plate
27:37was black with silt and blood she screamed back at her own people shut your mouth i am going to
27:43be
27:43queen you are nothing you are too weak to hold them that is all this is the shark clan only
27:49pressed
27:49harder their commander laughed he raised his big blade he swung it down at the tired serena serena
27:54saw the black blade coming her strength went out of her she shut her eyes but there was no pain
27:58she opened her eyes shaking and there was kane he had shifted he opened his mouth and cold water poured
28:04a roar went down the passage the army came in behind him and tore an escape route open
28:09prince serena came back from the dead with her whole face lit up i knew it i knew you cared
28:14you came for me that mute thing could never pain never looked down at her the cold obviously knocked
28:20her flat into the silk the voice came from everywhere at once i came for the lives of the deep
28:25realm he
28:26left her sitting there then going into the thickest part of the enemy this was an ugly grinding fight
28:32blood dried on his tail new wounds opened along his arms and every time exhaustion reached for him
28:37every time they closed around him one thing came back into his head a quiet girl rising up close with
28:42a
28:43warm face to speak into his ear kane you will come home safe the best sound in the deep realm
28:49and
28:49the reason he was not allowed to fall lila wait for me i am coming back he said it over
28:53and over
28:54inside himself far away in my chambers in the abyssal palace my chest seized the cold went through me
28:59and took my breath i rose and went to the window and looked north the water hung dark and red
29:03the
29:04border was that way i could not be there but in that moment something between us opened and let me
29:08through
29:08i saw him clear as day fighting in the middle of an army and i heard him calling from somewhere
29:13underneath everything else kane i pressed my hand to my chest and my eyes went hot this whole house
29:18had treated me like something precious he was killing himself to come back to me so i would
29:21protect him with the only thing i had i closed my eyes i put my palms together and i put
29:25every bit
29:25of strength in my body into the words kane you will have the power to freeze that whole passage over
29:32you will drive back the shark clan and you will come home as the words fell cold poured out of
29:36me and went
29:37north through the dark water like something alive the queen opened the door while i was still
29:42drifting there staring out her eyes were red she crossed the chamber and took both my hands
29:46her palms were shaking and she was still holding a smile together for me he will be all right lila
29:52that boy has always been hard to kill and his power is back
29:57he will come home to us looking at her worn face the ache went up into my nose and i
30:02nodded hard whatever i
30:03say the deep water carries out every word of mine turns into the strongest thing in the deep realm
30:07so he cannot be harmed not with my words riding with him the war lasted seven full days i stayed
30:12in
30:12the quiet of the palace but my spirit never left him through that thread of my own words i felt
30:16every
30:16hour of it by the evening of the seventh day the shark clan was breaking the soldiers of the deep
30:20realm roared until the water shook kane drifted above the ruin and said it under his breath lila i did
30:27it
30:28i am coming home to you serena threw herself at his side with red eyes prince thank you for my
30:33life
30:34i was blind before i did not know what you were when we are home i will marry you kane
30:41looked at
30:42her and there was nothing in his eyes i did not come for you and i do not want your
30:45thanks i brought my
30:47army in because i would not let one arrogant decision kill innocent soldiers his eyes went over the mermaid
30:53dead and the mermaid wounded a commander who spends her people's lives on her own vanity
30:58a sister who tears down an innocent girl at every opportunity and as for the marriage he laughed once
31:05it was pure contempt i will have one wife in this life lila you are not worth a single scale
31:11on her tail
31:13serena went white the soldiers around her looked at her with open scorn and every look landed like a
31:18hand across her face the day the army came home the whole palace lit up i stood at the gate
31:24gripping
31:24my sleeve watching the open water i knew he had won but until i saw him my heart would not
31:29come back
31:30down and then he was in front of me and the tears came out of me all at once lila
31:34kane barely got my
31:35name out the next second i was against his chest with my arms locked around him my face buried crying
31:40without a sound he froze then his arms came around me and pulled me in hard he put his mouth
31:44against the
31:45top of my head again and again and i felt him shaking do not cry i am here i came
31:50back after
31:51a long time he let go enough to take my face in both hands lila you can speak can you
31:56not out there
31:58every time i was finished i heard you it was you keeping me alive it was you the whole time
32:03his eyes
32:04went into me and my heart lurched i nearly pulled away i knew what my words cost and what would
32:08happen
32:08if the deep round learned of them every clan in the deep realm would come for me i put my
32:11fingers gently
32:12over his lips and shook my head kane looked at me and spoke so low that only i could hear
32:15it lena
32:17thank you the shark clan gave up its outer reefs and swore never to cross the border again the palace
32:21held a celebration for the peace i sat beside kane and could not stop feeling out of place until his
32:25hand closed over mine do not be afraid i am here the clan lords drank and praised him and called
32:31him
32:32the shield of the deep realm and then kane set down his cup and his eyes went cold we won
32:36but someone
32:37here nearly buried our soldiers for her own vanity the hall went silent serena's face changed
32:44are you speaking about me prince kane looked at her without heat you broke a direct order
32:50if i had been an hour later the mermaid clan would have no army at all serena bit down on
32:55her lip my parents faces went to ash kane was not finished if that is the standard of the mermaid
32:59clan's air then the mermaid clan should think very carefully about who it makes queen the hall erupted
33:06serena went white by inches her fingers twisting into her sleeve kane she could not hold it in she
33:11rose with her eyes red whatever i have done you have no right to humiliate me in front of all
33:16of
33:16them she stared at me hating me if i had been the one they sent i would be the one
33:21beside you tonight
33:22she has no voice and no power what gives her the right i look down and my fingers started to
33:27shake
33:27kane's hand closed around mine and drew me in against his side his voice came out with no warmth at
33:31all
33:31this gives her the right when my core was cracked open and every soul in the deep realm had written
33:37me off she did not leave and you you would not marry a dying man serena choked i can cut
33:43through
33:43her serena the one thing you should never have done is spend all this time tearing my wife down
33:49in my eyes there is not one part of you that measures up to her the hall went silent kane
33:54turned
33:54away from serena as if she had never been standing there he looked down at me instead and in front
33:58of
33:58every clan every noble every soul who had once called him a dying man he went down on one knee
34:02they sent you to me to die beside me you stayed anyway he pressed my shaking hand flat against
34:08his chest over the core they said would never heal every night i was breaking apart this was the only
34:13thing that kept beating not the healers not the medicine you my eyes burned i never asked you to love
34:21me i only asked you not to leave so i am asking for more now his voice dropped rough and
34:27low meant for
34:28no one but me be my wife because you choose to not because they sent you i could not speak
34:33i had
34:33never been able to speak so i lifted my hand and traced one word against his palm yes kane closed
34:38his
34:38fingers around it like he was afraid it would escape then he pulled me down into his arms in front
34:42of
34:42all of them and the hall erupted a second time they had married me off to a dying prince to
34:46buy their
34:46clan one more season they did not know they were giving me the only person who ever chose me back
