00:06when family casts you aside you choose your allies wisely even if they have a bite
00:13welcome back to the duke's masked bride within the palace while the gentlemen
00:18toasted their newfound alliance hazel gently rocked young benedict in her arms
00:24you resemble your father more with each passing day she murmured fondly quite unjust is it not
00:33when i was the one who bore you for nine long months at that moment the door opened with a
00:40soft
00:40creak and a nanny stepped respectfully into the chamber you summoned me your grace hazel offered
00:48a warm smile indeed i did might i trouble you to watch over the young prince while i step out
00:55for
00:55a brief while i shall not be long the nanny approached with open arms with pleasure your grace
01:04come now my sweet boy hazel lingered for a moment her gaze tender as she looked upon her son
01:12then with a final affectionate smile she turned and quickly took her leave hazel stepped out into the
01:20corridor the door to the nursery clicking gently shut behind her she lingered there for a moment drawing
01:28in a long breath at last a moment of stillness a solitude but just as she took a step forward
01:37a voice startled her your grace hazel jumped one hand instinctively pressing to her chest
01:45good heavens sir rise must you always appear like a ghost the knight gave a slight inclination of his
01:53head where are you headed hazel raised a brow amused must i report my every movement now according to the
02:04king yes it is my duty to ensure your safety he replied evenly especially with the palace under
02:12scrutiny and a child newly born hazel exhaled a light laugh you're worse than the nursemaids you know
02:22no you're worse than jacques i'm merely stepping out for some air nothing more
02:29sir rise fell into step beside her without needing to be asked then i shall accompany you for air of
02:38course
02:39hazel pursed her lips that's hardly necessary it's my duty your grace hazel pursed her lips
02:49these days the palace feels more like a prison than a home
02:53sir rise softened when he saw the exasperated look on hazel's face
02:58your grace your grace if i may hazel nodded urging him to continue i understand why you feel that way
03:07and i can see it must be frustrating but at the same time this is all for your own good
03:14and safety
03:15i'll stand ten paces behind you outside sir rise offered hoping that would solve the problem that way it
03:23will seem like i am not there hazel appreciated the knight's comforting words but it still didn't
03:29change the reality of her situation thank you sir rise she sighed with a fond expression well shall we then
03:40hazel moved gracefully through the corridor her soft slippers barely making a sound against the polished
03:46floors sir rise ever dutiful remained as promised ten paces behind his eyes scanning every corner like a
03:56hawk she paused near a towering window gazing out at the palace gardens is something amiss your grace
04:05rise asked stepping forward oh not at all hazel replied lightly but i do believe i left my shawl in
04:15the
04:15dining room would you be so kind as to fetch it for me the breeze carries quite a chill rise
04:23hesitated
04:24eyes narrowing faintly but then he gave a curt nod very well remain here if you please hazel watched as
04:34he turned the corner the moment she could no longer hear his footsteps she took off she slipped through a
04:41side hall moving swiftly her skirts gathered slightly in one hand to avoid tripping after days with sir rise
04:50glued to her side watching her every movement she finally had what she needed a moment of freedom finally she
05:01thought now i can finally do what i must at last she reached the study glancing once over her shoulder
05:11to
05:11ensure she hadn't been followed she slipped inside shut the door and locked it behind her she took a deep
05:18breath wanting to savor the moment of solitude but she knew she couldn't waste any time as much as
05:25she longed to be alone with her thoughts there was something pressing she needed to do hazel hurried to
05:33the writing desk her hands trembling slightly as she drew open the drawer and pulled out a fresh sheet of
05:39parchment she dipped the quill into the inkwell her breath shallow to the ones who know what i cannot say
05:47hear it loud her hand flew across the page in quick looping strokes the urgency of secrecy pressing at her
05:55chest she only had a few minutes before rise would realize he'd been sent on a fool's errand hazel wrote
06:03the words faster than she could even process them how is our secret i apologize that i cannot visit but
06:11i am
06:11under strict watch at the palace she took a deep breath thank you again i wish things were different
06:19but with our situation as it is this was the best course of action from the bottom of my heart
06:26i can never
06:27repay you she quickly signed the letter sealing it in the envelope did you not have nearly enough time to
06:36send it now she muttered to herself in a flash she tucked the letter into her bodice ensuring she would
06:42be the only person to ever lay eyes on it i'll figure out how to send you later she whispered
06:49as she smoothed
06:50out her dress then almost like clockwork the door handle jiggled my grace sir rise panicked voice called out
07:00my grace are you in there hazel drew in a deep breath she composed herself forced a smile and then
07:08answered i'm right here sir rise she quickly turned and opened the door the knight looked utterly
07:17terrified his sweaty hair sticking to his forehead as his breath came out in short bursts i i couldn't find
07:25your shawl i have no idea where it was but then i couldn't find you what were you doing in
07:32here hazel
07:33straightened her spine i don't think you're supposed to be asking the queen such questions sir rise
07:41the knight's face dropped i i uh hazel forced a small smile follow me i think i remember where my
07:51shawl is
07:53hazel turned and walked down the hall sir rise following closely behind as her steps echoed down
08:01the corridor her smile entirely disappeared episode nine hundred seventy seven
08:08inside the modest dress shop nestled just off the main square melanie sifted through the rows of
08:15gowns with careful fingers her daughters claire and melody trailing behind her oh mama look at this one
08:23melody called out holding up a pale pink gown with layers of frothy ruffles and delicate beading along
08:30the hem it shimmered beneath the sunlight streaming through the window melanie's eyes widened for a
08:37moment before softening it's beautiful darling she said gently brushing the fabric between her fingers
08:47fit for a duchess no she stopped herself a princess claire glanced at the price tag stitched discreetly into
08:56the inner lining and frowned that's way more than we can afford melanie sighed setting the dress carefully
09:04back on the rack we'll find something else something just as pretty but i liked that one melody murmured
09:16i know melanie said but we must be practical as melanie adjusted a gown on the hanger a shadow passed
09:25across
09:26the shop floor a moment later the bell above the door tinkled softly well well came a familiar voice
09:39smooth as velvet and twice as cold what a charming little outing melanie stiffened she didn't need to
09:49turn to know who it was lady harcourt glided into the shop with her usual air of superiority her gloved
09:57hands folded neatly before her and her eyes sharp beneath the brim of her hat claire moved instinctively
10:04closer to her mother her expression wary melody however beamed lady harcourt what a surprise indeed
10:16lady harcourt said with a coy smile i was simply passing by when i saw you through the window
10:25shopping for dresses are we lady harcourt's eyes flicked over the rack of modest gowns then drifted
10:34toward the extravagant pink one they had just set aside surely you aren't planning to put these poor
10:40girls in something plain not when there are far lovelier choices we're managing fine melanie said
10:51nonsense lady harcourt stepped closer her smile widening let me purchase them something special
11:02consider it a gift from family you're not family claire argued lady harcourt didn't falter then a family
11:15friend melanie drew in a sharp deep breath why lady harcourt's gaze slid to her amused why not
11:28i have more gowns than i know what to do with and it brings me joy to give back especially
11:36to young
11:37women of promise melanie hesitated she could feel the weight of claire's suspicion mirroring her own
11:46nothing lady harcourt did was ever without purpose but melody had already stepped forward
11:52clasping lady harcourt's hand thank you ma'am that would be so wonderful did you see the pink one i
12:00loved lady harcourt nodded indulgently it would suit you perfectly melanie swallowed her pride warring
12:11with her instinct claire said nothing but the stiffness in her posture spoke volumes
12:18lady harcourt turned her attention back to melanie let me do this for them it's such a small thing
12:29melanie gave a slow nod her voice low very well but only the dresses lady harcourt's smile grew
12:39of course only the dresses and just like that the shopkeeper was summoned and melody practically
12:49danced toward the fitting room while melanie and claire exchanged a glance the seamstress bustled
12:56about wrapping the extravagant rose-colored gown for melody and folding a simpler earth-toned frock for
13:04claire lady harcourt stood at the counter examining a pearl pin as if only half involved though her ears
13:13were finally attuned to every word your daughters will look radiant she said pleasantly her gloved
13:22hand sliding the coins across the counter without a second thought melanie offered a polite nod though
13:29her jaw was tight thank you she murmured lady harcourt tilted her head slightly her voice taking on a
13:39casual softness as the shopkeeper stepped away tell me dear have you spoken with wilma recently
13:48melanie hesitated for a beat too long claire looked up from her frock wary melody was too enchanted by
13:56her new gown to notice i have melanie admitted though i don't see much point in it now not after
14:05she made
14:06her choice choice lady harcourt's voice held just the right amount of concern surely she hasn't she's
14:18promised her inheritance to that baby melanie said bitterly can you believe it all that money all that
14:26history and she's handing it to a newborn lady harcourt clicked her tongue stepping closer
14:35that is shocking and unfair if i may say so you've given her grandchildren and yet she casts you aside
14:47what sort of legacy is that melanie said nothing but her shoulders tensed
14:54it's terrible truly lady harcourt continued what wilma is doing playing favorites
15:03letting sentiment outweigh sense she's letting a child control the fate of a legacy built over generations
15:11it's shameful melanie glanced toward melody and claire then back at harcourt
15:18it's why i'm done trying to please her i won't grovel for scraps at her table and you shouldn't that
15:28inheritance is rightfully yours your daughter's if wilma is too blinded by sentiment to see that then
15:37perhaps she needs someone to show her the truth melanie didn't respond but the spark in her eyes
15:46hurt pride and simmering resentment was answer enough lady harcourt smiled faintly and turned back to the
15:55counter her fingers brushing the pearl pin as if nothing important had just been said
16:01the bell above the shop door chimed as the trio stepped out into the crisp afternoon air claire lagged
16:09a step behind clutching her modest parcel watching her mother and lady harcourt with quiet unease
16:17i must say lady harcourt began adjusting her gloves as they strolled along the cobbled street
16:26there is strength in knowing whom to trust in times like these when even family falters
16:35one must choose their allies wisely melanie gave a tight smile i've learned that lesson all too well
16:45lady harcourt turned her head just slightly then perhaps it's time we stop standing alone
16:54you and i we want the same thing melanie security stability what's owed to us we would be far stronger
17:07together than apart melanie hesitated for only a breath before nodding you're right it's about time i
17:16stopped letting others dictate my worth at her side claire's brows drew together she clutched the simple frock
17:25tighter to her chest mother melanie glanced back yes darling claire sighed we must get going absolutely dear
17:41melanie looked back at lady harcourt we've been alone in this long enough it's time someone stood in our corner
17:53episode 978 the carriage wheels crunched over the softened gravel path slowed by the muddied earth
18:00left in the storm's wake inside sally leaned against caleb's shoulder half drowsy from the lull of the
18:08journey home from their honeymoon raindrops still clung to the windows but the sky had cleared to a gentle
18:16gray and lockwood and lockwood lay quiet and damp beyond the glass with a gentle jolt the carriage came
18:24to a stop caleb glanced out then turned to sally with a grin we're home mrs chambers
18:34sally stirred and smiled sleepily at last i thought we might have to winter in that inn by the coast
18:44you'd have been spoiled rotten caleb teased and we'd never get you to leave
18:51he pushed open the door and a gust of fresh rain sweetened air greeted them
18:57without hesitation caleb hopped down and turned back toward her holding out his arms come here
19:05sally blinked i can walk i'm sure you can but humor your husband would you he said already sweeping her
19:16up before she could object she let out a surprised laugh as he cradled her in his arms her skirts
19:24draping
19:24over his elbow caleb i've only just married you he said you think i'm gonna let you touch so much
19:35as a puddle
19:37as he carried her across the threshold of the estate sally tucked her head against his chest heart full
19:45the storm might have delayed their return but it hadn't dulled the joy of coming home
19:53the next morning as the sun broke gently through the morning haze at the collins estate
19:58caleb and sally returned back to work alessandra already waiting in the foyer crossed the marble floor with
20:07open arms there you are she exclaimed her face lit with joy look at you married and glowing come here
20:19sally let out a breathy laugh as she was pulled into a tight embrace i missed you terribly i feel
20:26as though
20:27we are rarely apart alessandra pulled back just enough to give sally an appraising once over
20:33so she said eyes narrowing with mischief how was it and more importantly should i be preparing a nursery
20:45for two sally gasped scandalized alessandra alessandra merely grinned oh come on i thought it would be
20:58reasonable to assume i mean look at you you're practically radiant something had to happen
21:05sally playfully shoved her i do not kiss and tell thank you very much
21:12oh but you're not denying it alessandra teased wagging a finger behind them caleb cleared his throat
21:23should i come back in five minutes or the women turned to him both laughing no need sally said
21:34linking her arm through alessandra's you had her all to yourself while i was away now it's my turn
21:43alessandra joked you may return to your duties mr chambers edgar should be waiting to see you in the study
21:52yes your grace he said dryly bowing before turning toward the study sally leaned into alessandra with a grin
22:02it's good to be back i've actually missed working all of that time away i barely knew what to do
22:11with
22:11myself i'm sure you knew what to do sally rolled her eyes you're too much like your husband
22:22alessandra giggled anyway it's better with you here i too have been bored outside of spending time with
22:30little elijah alessandra replied warmly come i want to know every detail of your honeymoon
22:39the two women walked around the whole estate as sally filled alessandra in on the details of her
22:46honeymoon finally alessandra and sally stepped into the reconstructed guest room the door creaking
22:53softly as it swung open i cannot believe that the tree collapsed into the estate sally whispered clutching
23:02her heart she looked around the room although the structural repairs had been completed objects were
23:10scattered throughout the room the walls needed to be repainted and everything was a mess it held up
23:19better than i thought alessandra said glancing at the newly repaired ceiling at least the roof is no longer
23:26caving in sally crossed the room immediately beginning to straighten the disheveled furniture
23:34still a mess though she muttered tugging a wrinkled sheet off the bed we'll have this tidied in no time
23:44as sally swept the last of the dust into a pile alessandra's steps slowed her gaze had drifted to the
23:52far corner of the room where a forgotten stack of belongings sat half hidden beneath a crooked side
23:59table pushed aside during repairs her breath caught my grandfather's things she murmured her voice barely
24:10above a whisper sally looked up folding a sheet mid-air you kept them in here i must have i
24:21didn't even
24:21realize alessandra moved toward the corner kneeling down carefully she sifted through the items faded canvases
24:31carved trinkets weathered books her hands settled on patrick's leather-bound journal she opened it
24:41ink-stained pages whispered with each turn patrick's handwriting neat deliberate spilled across
24:49the paper in a steady rhythm and then her eyes caught on a particular passage the words jumped out at
24:57her
24:59this evening the rain tapped gently against the windows like a familiar melody after wilma lit the fire in
25:07the drawing room i reached for her hand without a word with the rain serving as our music we danced
25:15no grand
25:17ball no glittering chandelier or watchful eyes just the two of us in our slippers moving carefully around a rug
25:27worn
25:27by years and memories she laughed when i stepped on her toes i swear her smile lit up the entire
25:36room more than
25:38the fire ever could alessandra felt the emotions rise like a tide soft and warm and aching all at once
25:49in those few lines she didn't just read about her grandfather she knew him she could picture him feel the
25:58room
25:58hear the laughter alessandra
26:03sally's voice broke through gently alessandra blinked
26:09would you like to move these somewhere else sally asked softly stepping beside her
26:17alessandra looked down at the journal still open in her hands
26:21then back at the scattered relics of a life once lived i think i will
