Did Zara have a secret twin that she didn’t know about?!?
Me. I was looking at me.

But that means that Lisbeth knew about Erik before Zara did!
I closed my eyes. "You raise the same points Erik and Stark did. And I can only tell you that I was fooling myself better than I was fooling anyone else. Including Lizbeth. She was terrified of me. When Erik approached her with the alternate marriage—to him—she jumped at the chance. Not because she wanted him, but because she was so scared of being left behind in all this… she knew. She was dignified and kind and she tried so hard, but deep down she knew I had no feelings for her."

I think she killed David and this is Erik pretending to be him.
And before I could say another word, he made a gesture with his hand. "Send her to the dungeon to rot with the other Physicist bitch."

She can hop through time too, but instead of choosing herself when she arrives, the physicists choose for her.
Good thing we hadn't killed her. That would have been her escape.

"Holy fuck…" I gasped. "Zara…?"

But he doesn’t know that yet… 😏
And that meant I had a second chance to make her love me, instead of him.

When Zara first met David he said something about not being able to reveal his name, but in this timeline she knew it before she arrived in Arinel…?
"Lady Zara, I am Ashwood Firenight, assigned to your service by King Davide Alexander Janus de Clare. I vow myself to your service—my life for yours, in loyalty to the King." Then he raised his head. But it wasn't me his eyes locked on, but my father. "The true King of Time."

I KNEW IT!!! It might not be exactly where she hoped, but at least she’s still in Arinel!!!
My jaw dropped. "Mom?" I squeaked.

It’s her parents place!!!
This wasn't the castle.

I think they have a way of erasing certain memories…
Her expression blanked again and I shook my head.

I bet it was Eric!!! He’s a “spy” maybe he knows things David doesn’t and he goes back and forth between worlds!!!
Was it possible he was here and looking for me? Oh, how my fickle heart rose at that. But if that was him I'd seen, he'd fled the moment he saw me.

Yes!!! A side-plot of enemies to lovers for Stark!
The woman was a walking contradiction, and swung so quickly between them, she made me queasy.

No!!! I hope not!!! 🫣😭

Stark knows?!?! 😱🤯. Has he always known, or did he just figure it out when Zara disappeared?
He refused to hear that the lines between his throne and the Physicists weren't nearly as clear as he thought. He refused to let me speak of his parents—particularly his father, and the power the man wielded. And that meant, he would not hear it if I tried to tell him now that his wife was not dead, and was in fact, quite possibly not a traitor.

He needs to stop saying this like this. It’s so insensitive. 😭💔
"Well, he's not alive here," Ash said darkly.

What other king…?
Because right before we left, her father had learned that these two had gone and gotten married, secretly. And if I hadn't gotten her out, the next step was to remove David from her. And remove her from every other man except the one the Physicists chose.

I hope so!!! 🥰🎉🤣
The only other bloodline in Arinel that had the potential in both genetics and political power to actually expel them from the place.

I hope Zara is already pregnant and they just don’t know it yet!!! 😏🤣🥰
The one and only thing they couldn't stomach was Zara breeding with David.

They won’t return Ash to Arinel as long as he provides protection for her…? So if she sends him away, they will send him back…?
This is not an empty promise. Speak with your Defender. He is free to remain with you. We will not return him to Arinel, either, as long as he provides protection for you.

I thought Stark was going to marry them (again)? Maybe he was busy keeping watch over Zara’s dad…?
But the moment the Priest had told us to take each other's hands and led us through the vows, everything else that had happened disappeared. I was there with David, my husband, and we were finally united in the eyes of everyone.
