Ophelia was devastated when she heard the news and planned for revenge. But before she could make a move, Ren attacked the palace, catching her off guard. The Queen died and so as Ophelia's unborn child. Ophelia fought with Ren and he was badly injured but managed to escape after he sealed Ophelia's dragon.

On her coronation, she promised she'd achieved these three things no matter what: awaken the two princes and her dragon, resurrect Demitri, and kill Ren Lancaster.

After my husband's brother died, he took Miranda, his widowed sister-in-law in. He claimed that he would give me his love—but gave all his money to her. He said that since she had no official status, being with him would make her the subject of gossip, so he took her with him and left me behind in the countryside. Every month, he wrote me three love letters, yet sent all his allowance to her. During the famine, she and her two children sat in a warm little house eating well, while my two children died before I could return from selling my blood. One froze to death, the other starved to death. Later, my husband finally came back, but he didn’t shed a single tear for the children. Instead, he told me he wanted a divorce. "Nathalie, to apply for housing, we need a marriage certificate. It hasn’t been easy for Miranda all these years. I want to give her a home. Don’t worry, even if I marry her, I’ll still divorce her afterward—because you’re the only one I love." In the end, I was devastated and threw myself into the icy river. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my children were about to die. This time, I shook them awake, ready to go reclaim everything that was rightfully mine.
