They came together, messy and uncoordinated, clinging to each other like the world was ending—because in some ways it was. The world of hiding. The world of performance.

Password was Alexander’s birthday.” Inside were photos. Hundreds of them. I opened the file he sent. The album was titled: My Knight. The most recent post was dated two days ago. He said this crown belongs only to me. Just like him. Next week’s family dinner—he promised to give me a name. The image showed an exquisite bridal crown— diamonds and sapphires set in a constellation pattern.

My crown, wherever it was cracked. I felt it as if it were part of me, as if the metal and jewels were extensions of my own body.

It had been anchor, tether, the thing that kept me grounded in who I was supposed to be. Now it was breaking, and I was breaking with it.

"We are—settled. Unified. No longer arguing internally." "Who are you?" Lady Seraphine demanded. "Are you Lyra? Kael? All of them? None of them?" We considered. Accessed memories from five childhoods, five perspectives, five loves that had merged into something greater. "We are the Broken Crown," we said simply. "We were five. Now we are one. And we will govern as one." "That is not reassuring," Seraphine observed. "Nothing about us has ever been reassuring." Through our cosmic awareness, we suddenly felt something approaching.

A few months later, the cross-border merger was officially finalized and signed. It was executed under Wright Group's International Legal Affairs Division. At the signing, I wore a black suit. My face was still pale, but I remained as calm and composed as ever. The lead executive from Tedlar Street personally shook my hand. "A pleasure working with you, Mr. Wright." As the cameras panned across the room, the Internet exploded in a frenzy of discussion. Some commented that I had always been the real force behind Freeman Law, and others noted that Ashley had climbed so high these years that she had forgotten who built the stairs beneath her feet.

Althea fought her way back to Argos for Lysandros and helped him reclaim the throne, only to find herself trapped in the enemy kingdom of Thrace, wearing a slave's collar for three full years.
