My Alpha Husband Killed Me, So I Married His Enemy のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

The first thing I did was order the gates opened.The second was threaten to break the hands of anyone who tried to stop me from leaving.By the time I reached the palace courtyard, the entire kingdom seemed to be holding its breath. Warriors hurried between the barracks and the eastern walls. Wounded soldiers lay beneath the covered arches while healers moved among them. Smoke still rose from the gatehouse, and the smell of blood clung to the cold morning air.Cassian’s throne stood empty.His crown remained in the royal vault.And my husband was chained beneath a mountain by the people who had spent generations plotting to steal his freedom.I could barely breathe when I thought about it.But I would not fall apart.Not yet.“Your Majesty.”Captain Rowan approached with six armed warriors. His left arm was wrapped in a bloodstained bandage, but his expression was steady.“The northern patrols have returned. They found traces of dark magic near the old mountain road. The tracks lead

Cassian screamed my name.The sound tore through the ancient prison, louder than the chains rattling overhead and more terrifying than the darkness spreading across the black throne.I lunged toward him.The silver-eyed figure lifted one hand.An invisible force struck my chest and hurled me backward.I hit the stone floor hard enough to knock the breath from my lungs. Pain exploded across my ribs. Before I could rise, black shadows curled around my wrists, pinning me to the ground.“Seraphine!” Cassian strained against his chains. “Don’t touch her!”The figure turned toward him.“You still believe you can protect everyone, don’t you?”Cassian’s eyes burned silver.“Let her go.”“After all these centuries, you have learned so little about the nature of power.”The figure closed his fingers.Cassian’s chains tightened.My husband dropped to one knee, choking back a cry.“Stop!” I shouted.The figure released his hand.Cassian sagged against the chains, breathing hard.I stared at the s

ONE SOUL. TWO DAUGHTERS. ONE CROWN.The words burned across the floor of the ancient prison.I stared at them, unable to move.Before the next Blood Moon, one of us had to cease to exist.Nyra stood opposite me, her face almost identical to mine, but her expression had changed. The anger remained, yet something darker had entered her eyes.Fear.She was afraid of the prophecy.And that frightened me more than anything else.“What does it mean?” I demanded.The Firstborn lowered its hand.“It means the time for hiding has ended.”“I didn’t ask for another riddle.”“You have spent your life asking who you are, Seraphine. Now that the answer stands before you, you are afraid to hear it.”“I’m afraid because everyone who claims to know my destiny seems determined to take away my choices.”A faint smile touched its face.“Perhaps that is because your choices have always been more dangerous than your power.”Cassian strained against his chains.“Stop talking to her as if you own her!”The F

“WELCOME TO YOUR THRONE, MY QUEEN.”The voice rolled through the prison like thunder from the beginning of time.Beneath my feet, the stone split.Five pillars erupted with blinding light, each bearing a symbol that burned brighter than the last. The Wolf. The Royal. The Moon. The Shadow. The Gate.The chains connecting them to the black throne began to rise, twisting through the air like living serpents.And the mark over my heart burned.I staggered, clutching my chest.Cassian caught me before my knees struck the ground.“Seraphine!”His voice sounded distant. Everything did. The prison was calling to me, and some terrible part of me wanted to answer.Not because I trusted the voice.Because it knew my name.Because something inside the Gate recognized me.Because the crown burning beneath my skin felt less like a mark and more like a command.Come home.I gritted my teeth.“I am home.”The words escaped before I understood them.Cassian went still.Beyond the widening crack in the

“Seraphine, don’t trust my son.”The voice came from beyond the Gate.It sounded human, exhausted, and painfully familiar to Cassian.His face had gone white.“Father?”The pale hand stretched farther through the narrowing opening. Silver veins glimmered beneath its skin, and a crescent-shaped mark burned across its palm.I stared at it, unable to move.King Roderic had disappeared from the palace. We had found dead guards in the western tower and a message declaring that the son must return to the father. Then, beneath the mountain, Cassian had seen his father standing beside the Shadow King.I had assumed Roderic was involved in the betrayal.Now his voice was coming from beyond the Gate, warning me against his own son.Nothing made sense.“Cassian,” I whispered, “don’t move.”His fingers tightened around mine.“I know that voice.”“I know.”“No.” He struggled to sit up, grimacing as pain crossed his face. “You don’t understand. That’s my father’s voice, but the last time I heard it
