Julius Holt is confronted by rivals who demand he withdraw his troops or his wife will be killed. They claim his marriage was a setup: he was married to avenge Yara, who took another's place and poisoned herself on the wedding day. Commanders call for surrender—'you'll be spared'—while a voice brands his spouse 'a deserted wife' and sentences her to die. A woman offers to betray Julius, confessing neglect and regret and promising to 'tell you' how to handle him. As assassins close in and Zach moves to evacuate Prince Hudson, she asks, 'Have I... been reborn?'
