By the time Kai returns to the castle, Paedyn and Kitt are already married. Overcome by defeat, he punches a hole in the throne room wall. He realizes that he could never have Paedyn because he’s not good enough for her.
Paedyn races into Kitt’s chambers and tells him everything she’s learned about herself, Iris, Calum, and Edric. In horror, the two realize that they are half-siblings and have just gotten married.
Suddenly, Calum bursts in. Kitt steps between him and Paedyn, thrusts his dagger into him, and kills him. Then, Kai appears, demanding to know what’s going on. Kitt and Paedyn relay what they’ve learned. Kai insists that they can’t go through with the second wedding now that they know they’re related, but Kitt says that they have to or else they risk inciting alarm throughout Ilya.
Kai is tense on the coach ride to Loot Alley with Kitt and Paedyn. He still can’t believe that Iris and Calum are Paedyn’s parents. In Loot, the couple goes through with the second wedding. Kai is upset but feels proud at seeing Paedyn
