um, wasn't there something about a child conceived in love to break a curse? Does possession count?

The king is a liar. Why would he deny that Jasmine looks like his daughter? Was he somehow involved in her disappearance? between this denial and his indiscretion with his sister-in-law. and his failure to intervene with Banes's attacks on the packs, The king is turning out to be a cowardly, opportunistic, piece of dog Doo.

Blazh. You had one job. 🙄

I like this theory. Much better than Amy. Valeria needs to die anyway.

I'm convinced that Lord Bentham is fully aware of the situation between Cassandra and Ed and is intentionally provoking him for his own amusement.

Is Cassandra not related to the Elvira Royal Family at all? She is the daughter of a lady in waiting and a soldier?

I like Loren more and more all the time.

lovely. turns out the elements are yet another fount of information. it's a good thing the princess has Amy and Ed. Everyone else is subterfuge and manipulation.

Yay for bringing Amy up to speed. She deserves to know everything. I love Amy. Such a good friend.

Cedric better disappear along with all the other siblings. Valeria isn't going to waste a lot of time eliminating the competition. In fact it won't take her very much time before she decides the emperor is taking too much time to die. she'll probably kill him too. Nasty girl that one .

Sorry? how have they blackmailed her? Secretive? certainly. Annoyingly vague? absolutlely. But they haven't threatened her or anyone she cares about. They haven't demanded anything from her. I appreciate that Cassandra is showing some backbone, but it seems a bit misplaced.

I thought the cousin was Lord Bentham, but now I'm not so sure. Why the secrecy?

Well, that was not very enlightening. No answers or explanations, just a very poorly explained offer.

wait. does the royal family not know that Xaiden is married ?

Lord Bentham knows how to manipulate his friend. I think he knows the Duke has feelings for Cassandra but is in denial. Lord is playing matchmaker, but like a fox. All slyness and subterfuge.

Practically impossible isn't completely impossible.

Apparently Saraphino wants to die.

I can't imagine that Jael didn't hear that. Surely it's a possibility that he's considered, but obviously he isn't ready to discuss it since he's pretending he didn't hear. I know she doesn't want to ask Louis, but the man honestly seems to be the most knowledgeable person around despite his flippant attitude.

I had assumed that vampires and humans were biologically incompatible, but apparently auntie doesn't think that's the case. Wonder if there is any precedence for hybrid offspring?

If the past is any indicator, guarding Maxi is a pretty happening place to be. Gabel may have just bit off more than he bargained for.
