The crowd erupted in applause. It was said that many young nobles fell for her that very day. Even Theodric took notice.

After that, Daphne’s name spread across Vanelle Becoming His Highness’s consort came naturally.

Some even said she deserved more. That she should replace Elowen.

But that horse had once been Elowen’s. It was a birthday gift from her grandfather.

Back then, it was just a small foal. Because its coat shimmered like embers, Elowen named it Ember.

Every morning, the first thing Elowen would ask was, “Has Ember grown a little more today?”

She would stuff a couple of flatbreads into her pocket and run off. Ember would graze, and she would sit beside it and eat.

She loved Ember.

And Ember loved her.

No one else could get close, let alone ride it.

Once, Daphne tried to approach and got kicked landing hard on the ground, crying pitifully for a long time.

Later, after Elowen injured her knee and could no longer ride, Daphne went to her father and brother.

She said it would only upset Elowen to see Ember, so it would be better to send it away. After some thought, they agreed.

From then on, Elowen did not see Ember again until the autumn hunt. But three days after Daphne “tamed” it in front of everyone, Ember died.

That was not normal. No one cared. Everyone was focused on Daphne.

No one cared about a horse. Except Elowen. She dug into it herself and found the truth.

Ember had been fed a brutal poison. The pain left it too weak to resist. It could only let Daphne control it.

But halfway there, she ran into something unexpected. She had taken a quieter path on purpose, avoiding attention.

Instead, she heard hushed voices slipping through the narrow passage.

I missed you so much. I’ve been stuck in the palace this whole time. Couldn’t get out, could only write to you… did you read my letters?”

Elowen’s eyes widened. That’s Maerwyn. Isn’t she supposed to be confined? How is she here?

She had always sounded sharp or angry before. This soft, almost breathless tone was something Ellowen had never heard.

“I read every single one,” the man replied gently “Over and over. I could recite them if you asked.”

Elowen froze.

She recognized the voice. Rowan Boyd.

His father had earned merit under Theodric. His brother served under Cassian. Rowan himself was close in age to Allaric. They were good friends.

In her previous life, right before she died, Elowen had overheard Rowan speaking with

Alaric.

Rowan had asked. “Elowen is beautiful, and she cares about you. Don’t you feel anything for her at all?”

Alaric had answered coldly, “She makes me sick

Back then, those words shattered her. She had ked for a separation soon after, and not long later, she was reborn at seventeen.

Now, remembering it, she felt nothing

So time really does heal things. People really do grow up.

“Now that I finally get to see you. Rowan kiss me, will you?”

Elowen flushed, embarrassed just hearing it. She knew Maerwyn adored Rowan, wanted nothing more than to marry him.
