Alistair feels blood on his mouth and traps Seraphina against the bed frame. When he attempts to assault her, she triggers her internal magic and hurls him across the floor. She strikes his head with a heavy glass bottle, telling him to get out. Alistair promises to reject her future pleas and leaves in anger. Alone in the room, Seraphina resolves to abandon Ironhold permanently and seek out her lost relatives.
Alistair presses Seraphina against the bedpost after her bite draws blood from his lip. He attempts to overpower her, but she unleashes a surge of magical power that throws him backward. She breaks a glass decanter over his skull.
Alistair delivers a harsh warning before storming out, stating he will refuse to look at Seraphina when she crawls back in remorse. In the empty room, Seraphina declares she will never return and chooses to search for her family instead.
“You would keep me as your nameless woman in some gilded chamber, while you take Rowena to your bed?”
“I would sooner starve in the wilds, or be torn apart by beasts, than live as your caged bird. Leave my chamber. Now-!”
“When regret brings you back to my feet, I will not so much as look at you.”
“You will never see me return.”
Alistair exits the room in a rage, convinced that grief and regret will drag Seraphina back to him. Alone in the dark, Seraphina makes her decision to abandon Ironhold for good. Will she successfully escape Alistair's grasp and reunite with her noble bloodline, or will the Grand Duke's forces hunt her down?
