• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Chapter forty one, let's get through it. We ended on
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Selena was in Bubby Yellow Legs trailer.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Chapter forty one, we're recapping every chapter of thoughts and
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: theories to every clond Twist will break it down for you.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Selena is tied up, but frees herself and kills Bubby
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Yellow Legs. Chapter forty two, mort reveals that the crow
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Chain Witches still exist, they are just in hiding, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that Bubby Yellowlegs was a leader queen to her clan.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: So Selena's fucked up here. Chapter forty three, Selena returns
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to the door at the bottom of the secret passage
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: in the library, uses the book The Walking Dead and
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: uses a spell in it that says it unlocks doors.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Behind door. Behind door is a stairway leads to a
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: corridor filled with ninety nine numbered doors. Well, is that
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: what happens?
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Shit?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: That was only just now It was true? Yeah, I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it was ages ago, but it wasn't no, no, no, that's right,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: cookar pool.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: So basically she goes down to the bottom of the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: library again and she uses a spell to open that door,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and she's looking for like just she just feels like
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: he needs to go in there. She goes down and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: it's like the weirdest thing. Like, so there's like every
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: time she opens a door, there's the stairs down, and
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: then there's like doors on each side of a hallway,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: and there's on the first four ninety nine, and then
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: it just goes down to like eighty eight, sixty six,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: seventy seven, you know, like just like goes down to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: those numbers. And then there's always one door at the
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: very end of each hallway that she feels like you
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: should open, and it goes down in a spiral. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: so then she gets to the bottom one and there's
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: a door that she opens that leads up.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: She's like, what the fuck. She goes up.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: She's getting a headache, pounding headache, pounding headache, and she
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: realizes that she goes where she goes to the bottom,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: she's like in the clocktawl, the obsidian clocktail with the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: gargoyles and shit. So she's wigging out right, and then
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: also she is like, goes past one door that's been
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: broken open, so keep that in mind. Chapter forty four,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Dorian had followed Slena into the stairways. Slena turns back,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: realizes she is not alone and there is a monster
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: down there with her, something that was once mortal. She
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: runs and tells Dorian to run. Sees Dorian use magic
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: to try and seal the door. She beheads the creature
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: realizes it used to be human and thinks the King
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: created it. Dorian tells Selena about his magic. Chapter forty five,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: it is revealed that Kotaine has been taken to Marath
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: with the Duke along with Roland.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Roland with yeah Rolan as well.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Chapter forty six, so Selena realizes that the first word
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: key was in was in Elena's tomb. The King found
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that one when he was twenty More hints that the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: King used it to stifle magic. Selena wants to open
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: a portal so she can try to talk to Nahemia.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Dorian dreams Gavin comes to him to warn him about
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Selena and what she's about to do, tells her where
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: to tells him where to find her, and that she
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: must be stopped.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Both of our predictions.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: You were right by Yeah, so you were spoken.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So were you about the king? I know my geniuses. Yeah,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: we're pretty good, mate, We're pretty good, all right.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Chapter forty or chapter forty seven. So Selena opens the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: portal and sees Nehemia, who tells her to never open
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the portal again. Nahemia tells her that she embraced her fate,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: knew she was going to die. Archie is waiting for
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Selena in the chamber. When this this happened, I was like,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: what the fuck is Archer doing here?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Bruh No, And he's like me and fucking took me
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: second and wrap my head around. Like Nahemia and.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I were working together for months, and she told me
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: where she was entering in and out of the castle
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: and she's like that, so he knew how to get
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: in there whatever. And he said that he's been tracking Selena.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Kuck coo cool. Chapter forty eight. Archer knows about the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: word cays and wants to find them. Realizes that Nahimia
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: had been trying to warn her about Archer, and Archer
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: was the one who ordered for Nahemia.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: To be assassinated. This weeked me out.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: He kidnapped Kaylee to get a Selena away from the castle,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: planted the threat against her life so that Selena would
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: come to mistrust Klee. Dorian gets Kale and tells cal
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that they need to find Selena. They find Selena, Archer
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and fleet Foot by the portal, along with a monster.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: So she opens the portal talks to Nahemia. Then Nemia
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: buggers off. Archer is like what the fuck and basically
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: now like Archer can't be trusted.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Namia said one thing. Then she said, don't trust anyone
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: or don't trust.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, basically doesn't trust like the snake or whatever something
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: he has like a steak tattoo.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Yea, like don't trust those with the steak tattoo or
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: something like that.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: And so she then gets wigged out that Arches there,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: fleet foots with her and he's like, nah brah. Anyway,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: she like just like smudges one of the bits of
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the word gaate or whatever, like her spell. She like
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: smudges it a bit even though. And then it goes
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: from where Nahemia was to like this different world and
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: this fuck off like creature comes.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Through scary sounding thing.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Bro like it's scary, but it's giving. So what it's
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: giving to me is in Crescent City there is a
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: like creature that's doing all like that, someone summons from
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: a different world to do all these murders.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: The way they explain the creature in this sounds exactly
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: like the creature in Crescent City. Oh, I did say
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Colement about there is a lot of There is a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: lot of crossover, but it's open to interpretation. I guess.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, because it's giving like that basically. So in
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Crescent City they summon this demon type thing from like Hell.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: So maybe what Selena had just opened a portal.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: To was Hell.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Makes sense anyway, hectic, Okay, Chapter forty nine, So Kale
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: and Dorian come down in there and they just noticed
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that like Fleetfoot's been fucked up by the monster. Dorian's
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: archers are scared holding onto that book, and then Selene
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: has just been like knocked out or some shit. So
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Kale goes over and he's trying to square up with
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: this thing, and it's just like kind of fucking him
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: up anyway. So what happens is Archer runs, Dorian picks
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: up Selena, and then Kale's trying to run as well.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: They're trying to just get away from the monster. And
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: what happens is the monster picks up Fleetfoot and takes
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: it into.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: The border, and I was.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I thought Fleetfood was dead and I thought they were
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: gonna end it there, and I was.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Like, no, I knew the happy ending. I was like, no, dog, Kale.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Kale jumps into the portal, bro.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know what a bee. Kale jumps into the
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: fucking portal, And I was like, this guy, he deserves love.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: I love Kale anyway.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: So then all right, Selena knocks Dorian out and then
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: she jumps into the portal because she's like, no, no, no,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not losing Kale and Fleetfoot. Obviously, She's like I'm
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: not losing these motherfuckers. She's like also injured, by the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: way by this monster.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: She's almost out cold.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, So she jumps through the portal, right, and this
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: is what wigged me the fuck out, but also in
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: my head confirmed a something I had in a prediction
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I had in the past. Right, So she jumps through.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Kale's like in between the monster and Fleetfoot. Fleetfood's like whimpering.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Kale's about to get fucked up. Selena goes in her head.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: She's like, I'm about to go ape shit on this thing.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: She's like, I'm done skis. So she goes to charge
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: this thing. It gets hit by a flame or some shit.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Kale's like the fuck.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Selena shifts into a fae. She's faith what And I
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: was like, you're killing anyway, Bob, did predict that? Did
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: we predict that? We didn't? No? No, no, no.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: No, I'll tell you my prediction that was sort of
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: near it, right, and why I feel like this confirms
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: it before we reach chapter fifty six. So yeah, so
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: she the she's fae and so basically because the king
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: has one of the word keys and just like us,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: that power to stifle magic in all the lands where
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: they are, she jumps through this portal and he hasn't
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: stifled magic there. So her fucking like fadom just came
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: out pretty cool. And she said that when she was
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: a kid, she remembered like before the king comes into power.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: She's like, that's right, like my power always used to
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: like be flames, And I was like, Groskie, what the fuck? Anyway,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Chapter fifty she kills the monster man it manages to
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: kill the monster. She does it in a sick way
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: with like a sword and shit. And then chapter fifty
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: one she goes and finds Archer and just like fucked
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Archer up kills Archer, which is hectic. Chapter fifty two
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: explains that her grandmother was Fay and she inherited the
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: ability to shift between human and Fay form. Kle goes
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: to his father to help her for help to convince
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the king to send Selena to Wendeln. Agrees to go
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: back to Annial with his father if he does so.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Kale is like, bro.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: She can't be here, she cannot be in this castle,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: and so he thinks because Wendeln is the last Faye
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: area of this whole world or some shit, that's where
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: she'll be safest.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: That's his thinking.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: So then chapter fifty three, Selena is told she is
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: to go to Wendland to kill the royals there. So
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Cale had to come up with some like very crazy
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: like plan as to why she should.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Go to Wendlen. Yeah, the king would buy.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: And then chapter fifty four, Slena makes a blood oath
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: that Nahemi is grave that she will free airway. Chapter
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: fifty five tells Cayle about the word keys and the
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: word gates Cale tells her that he loves her. Selena
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: whispers something in his ear before she leaves. That was
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: fifty ok So we don't know what it is, and
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: here we go. Okay, prediction is right. My prediction is
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: that's Selena. Do you remember okay?
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: So the first time she had a meeting with Archer,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: and Archer's like, you know, kind of like dupener and
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: like and like lined her and shit. But he does
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: say like, we like the we think that the long
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: lost heir to the throne of Terrasin is alive, right,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: And do you remember me saying like, I think Selena
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: is that?
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do remember that. So I still think that's
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the case.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: And I think that that's what she told Kale, and
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Kale needs to figure out.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I don't reckon she like when what she
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: whispered just there.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I think what she whispered in his ear was some
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: sort of Fay language shit that he had to go decipher.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: No, I don't reckon Selena knows what she is, like,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: she knows she's fabe, but I reckon she I'm with you.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: That could be a very plausible prediction, but I think
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: like it will happen. I'm confused. So we're reading Assassin's
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Blade next, right, do we jump back in time before
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: we go? So the next book we won't find out
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: really Okay, I like your prediction very plausible. I reckon
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: she whispered something to do with.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Like love, oh, like I'll always love you or some
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: shit something like that, because she does say like, no
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: matter what happens, I want you to know that it
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: always was you and always.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Will be you. Yeah. I reckon it's something to do
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: with their relationship. Yeah, I want them to be together.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Like but like a lot of people hate Kaylee, I
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: like him so far. You could see just straight away
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: everything's happened. He's like, how can I protect? I guess
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: he's overprotective, which is a little maybe true. I was like,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I hope it doesn't start giving Tamlin. Yeah. Yeah,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: but I think he'll come good. But Dorian's also going
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: to come good. We find it mentioned in there Dorian's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: got powers to way Oh.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think Dorian is definitely gonna come good.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: And apparently he has. Slena witnesses him uses power and
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: she's like, oh, he has like raw, unfiltered power. Basically,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: he can manifest his power into literally anything he wants.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: It could be invisible, it could be fire, it could
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: be ice, it doesn't matter.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: He has show me your fucking Kindle's on the back
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, on the back of my kindle, it says, So
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Beth got me some stickers.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: No, not the stickers. Do you ever hold it again?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Like you are holding it? Oh? Oh this thing?
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I gotta Also it also actually stand if
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I want to have it on a desk, look like
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: you can go running and go like I also.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Could just have it sitting like upright and I can
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: read it. But I just don't have it like that
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: audio only Jake's got a kindle of like a little
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: strappy thing on the back to hold it. So it's
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: like to.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Grab it, says on the back, one of the secret says.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: And yet despite the look of my face, you're still
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: talking anyway. So we're gonna reach up to fifty six.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna read it from my kindle. Guys, let's see.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: It tells me how long the chapter is. Five minutes.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Oh that's easy, Oh, so very long. So we find
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: out straight away. Yeah, five minute chapter Okay, are you ready, Oddie, Yeah,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I'm ready.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I'm ready, I'm ready, Chapter fifty six. So your prediction
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: was that it was about love?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Calee didn't understand what she told him, the words she'd
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: whispered in his ear. It was a date, not even
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: a year attached to it, a month and a day,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: a date that had passed weeks and weeks ago. It
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: was the day that Selena had left the city, the
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: day she had snapped at Adovia, a year one year
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: before the day her parents had died. He stayed on
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the docks long after the ship was out of the harbor,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: watching its sales become smaller and smaller, as he moled
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: over the date again and again. Why had she told
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: him everything about those word keys, but made hint, But
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: made this hint so obscure? What could possibly be more
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: important than the horrible truth about the king?
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: He served?
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: The word keys, while they terrified him, made sense. They
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: explained so much, the King's great power, his journeys that
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: ended with whole parties mysteriously dying. How Cain had become
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: so strong even that time. Kayle had looked at Parrington
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: and seen his eyes darken so strangely, But when she
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: told him, had she known what kind of choice she'd
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: left him? And what could possibly what could he possibly
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: do about it? From Anniel unless he could find a
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: way out of the vow he'd made. He'd never said
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: when he would go to Anniel. He could think about it.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: He could think about that tomorrow for now. When Kayle
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: returned to the castle, he went to her rooms, sorting
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: through the contents of her desk, but there was nothing
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: about that date. He checked the will she'd written, but
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: that had been signed several days after. The silence and
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: emptiness of her chambers threatened to swallow him whole, and
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: he was about to leave when he spotted the stack
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: of books half hidden in the shadows of her desk.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Genealogies and countless royal chronicles? When had she brought up
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Parisan dead?
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Here goes, I think that's what it is. You think
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: that's what I ah? Okay, okay okay.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Genealogies and countless royal chronicles? When had she brought this year?
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: He hadn't seen them the other night? Was it somehow?
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Another clue? Standing before the desk, he pulled out the
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Royal Chronicles all from the past eighteen years and started
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: back one by one.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Nothing.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Then came the chronicle from ten years ago. It was
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: thicker than all the rest, as it should be, given
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: the events that had happened that year. But when yeah,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: but when he saw was written about the date she'd given.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Sorry fuck okay, but when he saw what was written
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: about the date she had given, everything froze. And then
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: it's like an excerpt from the from the from the chronicles.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: This morning, King Orlan Galathinius, his nephew and heir, Roe Galathinius,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: and Roe's wife Evelyn were found assassinated all on It
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: was murdered in his bed at the royal Palace in
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: orinh and Roe and Evelyn were found dead in their
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: beds at their country estate along the River Florine. There
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: is no word yet about the fate of Roe. Evelyn's
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: daughter Aileen. Wait, hold up, what does that mean?
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Does that mean? What's her name? Is that again?
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I'm going to read that again just to see if
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: it makes more sense. This is this is what happened
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: ten years ago. This morning, King Orlan Galathinius, his nephew
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and heir, Roe Gaalathinius, and Roe's wife Evelyn, were found assassinated.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: All On was murdered in his bed at the royal
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Palace in orinh and Roe and Evelyn were found dead
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: in their beds at their estate along the River Florine.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: There is no word yet about the fate of Roe
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: and Evelyn's daughter Aileen.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: That's Elena. Selene is the so slain is the air.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: So she's Roe, No, she's Ailen. Roe and Evelyn were
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: her parents, and then her grandfather was Arenth who was
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the King of Taryson. So should find this out? Oh?
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: She always know.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Kale grabbed for the first genealogy book, the one on
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: the bloodlines of the royal houses of Ardaline and Taryson.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Was Selena trying to tell him she knew the truth
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: about what happened that night, that she might know where
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: the lost princess Aileen was hiding, that she had been
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: there when all this happened. He flipped through the pages,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: scanning genealogies he had already read, but then he remembered
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: something about the name Evelyn Ashriver. Ashriver Evelyn had come
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: from Wendolen had been a princess of the king's court.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Hands shaking he yanked out a book containing Wendolen's royal
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: family tree. On the last page, Aleen Ashriver Galathinius's name
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: was written at the bottom, and above it her mother Evelyn's,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: But the family tree traced only the female line, the female,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: not the male, because two spots above Evelyn's name was
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: written m Ab, Aileen's great grandmother. She was one of
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: the three faced sister queens Mave Mora and Mab Mab,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the youngest, the fairest, who when she died, had been
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: made into a goddess known to them as Diana of
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: the Hunt. The memory hit him like a brick to
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the face that yulmous morning, when Selena had looked so
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: uncomfortable to be receiving the golden arrow of Diana, the
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: arrow of map and Kayle counted down the family tree,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: one after one after one, until my great grandmother was
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: fay is what Selena? That's him remembering what Selena said
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: to him, Kayle had to brace a hand against the desk.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: No, it couldn't be.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: He turned back to the chronicles still lying open, and
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: turned to the next day. Aileen Gallathinius, heir to the
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: throne of Tyson died today or sometime in the night
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: before help could reach her deceased parents estate. The assassin
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: who had missed her the night before returned. Her body
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: has still not been found, though some believe it was
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: thrown into the river behind her parents' house. She'd once
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: said that Arabin had found her, found her half dead
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: and frozen on a river bank. He was just jumping
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: to conclusions. Maybe she merely wanted him to know that
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: she still cared about terrason. Or there was a poem
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: scribbled at the top of the ash River family tree. Sorry,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: aw and then dash. There was a poem scribbled at
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: the top of the ash River family tree, as though
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: some student had dashed it down as a reminder while
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: studying Ashriver eyes, the fairest eyes from legends, old of
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: brightest blue ringed with gold, Bright blue eyes ringed with gold.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: A strangled cry came out of him. How many times
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: had he looked into those eyes? How many times has
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: he seen her avert her gaze? That one bit of
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: proof she couldn't hide from the king, That's why she
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: always avert. Oh my god, Selena Sardothian wasn't in league
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: with Aileen Ashwnry Ashriva Galathinius. Selena Sardothian was Aileen Ashriva Galathinius,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: heir to the throne and rightful.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Cours Queen of Tarryson.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Queen Selena was Ailan Gallatinius, the greatest living threat to Ardaline,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: the one the one person who could raise an army.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Capable of standing against the kings.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Now she was also the one person who knew the
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: secret source of the King's power and who sought a
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: way to destroy it. And he had just sent her
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: into the arms of the strongest potential allies, to the
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: homeland of her mother, the kingdom of her cousin, and
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: the domain of her aunt, Queen May of the Fay.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Selena was the lost Queen of Taryson. Chao sank to
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: his knees acknowledgments, I've got goose bumps.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Who well wait, so let me just wrap my head
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: around that. So I was right, Yeah, you were, She's
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: head of the queen.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: So the original, original, original time I thought this was
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: when she had her first meeting with Archer and he's like, remember,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: He's like you, We're gonna find fucking you know, yeah,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: And she's like she's like no, no, no, the heir's dead.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: She's like, that's literally not possible. And I was like, girl,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: you know it's not possible, because it's sucking you. I
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: knew it from then. So what happened was Selena whatever
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: her name is now, her parents were assassinated, and what
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: the assassin did rather than kill her was take her. No,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: he went and threw her in a river, and then
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: down the river Arabin, the king of assassins in Idolene,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: he found her and took her in and trained her. Okay,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: fucking hell, and Arabin knows. I think Arabin my errand
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: he must know then he might existed a random person
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: in the river. The reason I think Arabin, the reason
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I think Arabin knows who she is and was the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: only person up until Archer is because Archer says, I
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: kept training with Arabin. He told me who you are? Yes,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: why would Arabin tell Archer? Though? If Archer's evil? I
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: have a feeling Arab and just doesn't give no fox,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And how did the Nahemia
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: know or she didn't. I have a feeling Nahemia new.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He said something at the end like
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Selena said, oh, how long are you going to keep
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: seeing me for? And then it's like until you like
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: take your fate or some ship. That's what Elena said.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Elena, Elena came comes down. She's like, you know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: she's like the word keys can wait, it's time for
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: you to go.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: It's time for you to go. And I was fucking
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: bread crumb and stop running from your past. Yes.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: So here's the thing, right is that? I think that
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: was fucking actic.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: That was cool. Wow, was so sick. Where do we
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: go to?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I genuinely have no idea, Like, I have no there's
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: no predictions to make apart from like like that is
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: such a big bomb drop.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Well's how are you feeling? I feel really good. I'm
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: very happy that turned up. I feel like this book,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: like every chapters was just like elevating on a different
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: level and a different level on a different level. So
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: it wasn't boring at all, very easy and fun read.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Wasn't it easy? Fun to read? Is correct?
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Hopefully Assassin's Blade is good even though it's a prequel.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: No.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I saw all the comments saying I'm so keen to
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: get your thoughts and feelings on Assasin's Blae because I
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna explain. Maybe it's gonna be this. If
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: we read that first, I reckon, we would have even
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: though you've got the prediction, we would have got it earlier. Probably,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: And it's gonna be a lot of like.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Ah, no, wonder she's like that, So she's gonna be aware.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling assassin's blade.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: It's going to just be like a few stories about
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: some assassinations she's done.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's is it prior to getting caught and
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: going this up lines? Yeah? I think it is. Yeah. Yeah,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: maybe it will finish with her being caught, so we'll
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: learn about Sam and shit, Yeah, we'll learn about Sam
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and then we'll see if she actually was ever a
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: could hard killer, which she never has been.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know, bro, thinking about the way she killed
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: fucking Archer, Yeah, and when she killed Grave and shit
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: like like but she said feeling hard to be a killer.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: But no no, but like when they.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Fucking do her wrong, Bro, she enjoys it.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: There's gonna be a through a few bread crumbing about
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: her flame, I reckon, And she doesn't realize what the
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: fuck that is, Like it takes over and she kills
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: like ten people with fire or some shit somehow.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, here's some predictions I want to make.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Right, lots of fearless predictions to one of the fictional men,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: like we always do. Picking up and streaming again. This
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: is the Relentless book Club. Let the throw and the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: docks begin.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: She will she'll never get back with Kale, She'll always
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: love him, didn't And I have a feeling, I have
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: a feeling that when it all comes to an end,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: I think she's gonna end up with Dorian because he's
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: a good man who can rule Ardoline in a fair way,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: and she is the queen of fucking she's a rival heir,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: queen of Terryson.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Who who if they were to come together, But that's logical,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: that's not love. I don't know. I think that's gonna happen. True.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I reckon Cale will prevail, but that's a good way
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: to say.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: No, I don't.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna away. So there's gonna be
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: a side story of Dorian for fearing out his powers.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Selena's figuring out her past and like interacting with all
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the people in this new what's the world called now?
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: And that one Wendolen Wendoleny and Wendolyn. But what is
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Cale going to do? I don't know, he's gone to Annual,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: but what's he gonna do? Like what's his arc?
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying though, is I have a feeling
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Cale's ark is going to just be like he's this
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: sort of like you know, righteous, loyal to wherever he
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: is type thing, like he'll go to Anniel. He made
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: a vow to his dad, like that's where he'll stay,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: and like he'll help out in some sort of war,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: but like he would just like I think Kale's sort
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: of the righteous type.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I don't like.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: So it's like it's like I would say, Kale, in
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: my opinion, is like the the closest in in personality
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: type to Lucian. True, like Lucian is actually quite righteous,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Like he's so loyal to Tamlin until like you literally
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: couldn't be type of thing, like he was loyal to
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Tamlin up until the end, even when he shouldn't have been.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: And I have a feeling Kale's like that.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: But Kale is like loyal to Dorian as well, but
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: he's also had to make Dorian hate him so that
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: it would be easier for him to go to Annie
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: and leave Dorian because if Dorian didn't want to leave,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: it'd be too hard to leave. True, very true, good boy, Yeah,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: And now Selena is there, that means she can start
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: to harness her fair powers. They don't well they really
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: don't know. The King's ward or whatever can't work over there.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Surely not, yeah, hopefully not.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: So we had a king we had a chapter of
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: From the King's Perspective too, Yeah. Yeah, and that was
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: the chapter where Klee suggests taking sending her to Weendoln.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh so the King no, no, no, no, I reckon. The
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: King finds out that Klee wanted Selanna to go there
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: for this reason and tries to kill Kale. And then
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: there's like a side story of Selanna trying to help
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Kale that could be it. So and also there's no
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: there's there's not really many plot holes I've been like
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: found so far, because the King has magic that he
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't show. He used his word key to stifle.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Magic in all of Ardolen, right, and he made it illegal.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: But the only bloodline that Ken use magic is his.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: So that's why Dorian has magic. Yeah, so it makes
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: sense for Dorian to have magic and he's going to
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: be a beast.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, also, the king is very smart.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Can you remember that the king's very smart because he
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: was twenty when he figured out everything that Selena has
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: figured out. Right, But Moore says that the King figured
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: it out quick fucking sticks.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: He's like, bro, the King's way smarter than you.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: She's like, yeah, whatever, cool, But so he figured it
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: out quick, sticks right, And he's in his inner monologue
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: he's like, dang, I wish Drick Parrington was here because
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: I could ask him to figure out who opened that
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: wordgate last night. He says he felt it open. He
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: doesn't know where it opened, but he felt it open.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: And he also knows that Barbie Yellowlegs was killed, even
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: though Selena thinks she's covered it up.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I think you know how that was like through the doors,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: through the stairs of all the different doorways and stuff,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: and like door n in nine or whatever, door seventy seven,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: twenty two thirty three or whatever. Did that make sense
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: to you? Well, yeah, it's basically a dungeon. It's like
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: a private dungeon that's like protected from magic because iron
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: doors can't be opened by magic. I think what happened
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: is the King will unleash everything, every single door in there,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: and that will be his army. He says something.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Remember, okay, okay, So that monster that nearly kills Selena
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: and Dorian in those dungeons, right, and then she beheads it.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: It used to be human.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: And she has this theory that Caltaane is going to
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: be turned into one of them, and so it like
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: the King can use this word key to turn humans
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: into monsters.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Right. She thinks that Roland's going to be turned into one.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Cawtain is going to be turned into one, and all
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: There's like this place called like the Ferian Gap or whatever,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: where there's people hearing like wings and shit like that,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: he says. He admits that he is making wyburns, which
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: are like the which are like dragons.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what was the uh in Akatar? Her bone? What
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: was what was how Farah and Reese go on there
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: and see their kid? What was that jail called?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Oh shit, that's it's like in a mountain.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in a mountain? Is it in the mountain? No? No? No,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: it was called something else. But do you reckon that's
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: the connection to this. And then the same beings has
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: been stuck there since then. Imagine that'd be pretty cool. Anyway, Look,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: that was cool. Thoughts are wandering. Yeah, no, that was
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: very cool, very cool. Okay, so this next books are prequel.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: The next one is a pretty cool apparently has five parts.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: What do we want to do? Let's do it in
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: five parts? I reckon easy. I think each parts. I
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: don't have my books at home. I don't know how
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: many chapters it is, but could you see how many
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: chapters is in that.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: I'd have to buy it quickly, but it takes a second,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: and it takes a It can.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Be one, but I'm pretty sure it's like ten to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: fifteen per maybe even less. I think Summer five.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I've got I've got a theory about this series after
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: the ending of that book, like the whole series, Like
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I know, I just have a theory about that that
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I think this is probably gonna be my favorite series
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: I've ever read.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Really, I think so.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Like as of right now, personally, personally, I think that
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: the way this story is developing is already better than Akatar.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: But she.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I feel like, to be fair, I think we've read
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: it in the right order. Whereas like Akatar is a
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: great intro series. This Jmas is writing and this one
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: is like just a little bit more elevated, even though
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: she wrote it first. Yeah, but she didn't. But she
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: rewrote it when she was thirty Yeah, exactly, like she
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: just had the storyline there and then probably who knows
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: how much she changed, right, So come back next week
• 33:41
