DON'T YOU HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO THAN FEED YOUR PETS OUT HERE?
I'M SURE YOU COULD'VE FOUND SOMETHING FOR THEM IN THE MANSION.
THEY'RE PICKY EATERS.
CONTENT ADVISORY
THIS EPISODE CONTAINS DEPICTIONS AND/OR STRONG IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOLLOWING: -INCEST
THEY GOT TIRED OF ALWAYS EATING THE SAME THING.
WHY DO YOU LOOK SO UPSET?
YOU'VE LOOKED MISERABLE FROM THE MOMENT YOU STEPPED INTO THE FOREST.
WERE YOU PLANNING ON TAKING YOUR ANGER OUT ON THE MONSTERS OR SOMEONE...?
WHAT'S WRONG?
OH...
I THINK I KNOW WHAT IT IS.
FATHER LECTURED YOU AGAIN, DIDN'T HE?
SHUT UP!
I HEARD...
...THAT DEON TOOK CREDIT FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.
I SEE THAT HE HASN'T CHANGED AT ALL. HE DID THE SAME THING TO ME LAST YEAR, TOO.
FATHER MUST BE GETTING OLD. HE'S BECOMING SENILE.
I TRIED TO TELL HIM THAT HIS FAVORITISM OF DEON WAS UNFAIR TO YOU,
BUT HE GOT UPSET WITH ME.
DEON DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE HIS HEIR.
WHO'D WANT A TYRANT LIKE HIM TO BE IN POWER?
ALWAYS BLOODTHIRSTY, KILLING RECKLESSLY ON A WHIM.
I WANT SOMEONE MORE DEPENDABLE TO SUCCEED FATHER.
SOMEONE LIKE YOU,
FONTAINE.
DAMN IT, YOU'RE RIGHT!
IF FATHER WASN'T SO FOCUSED ON GIVING THAT BASTARD DEON ALL THE IMPORTANT JOBS...
...I WOULDN'T BE IN SUCH A SH*TTY SITUATION RIGHT NOW.
YOU MUST FEEL THE SAME WAY, TOO.
YOU CAME OF AGE MORE THAN A YEAR AGO,
YET YOU HAVEN'T BEEN GIVEN A SINGLE JOB THAT WOULD HELP BUILD YOUR REPUTATION.
OH, WELL.
I GUESS FATHER SEES ME MORE AS A TROPHY THAN A POTENTIAL HEIR.
SHE'S THE MASTER OF THE FEARED POISON BUTTERFLIES...
BUT TO FATHER, SHE'S NOTHING BUT A TROPHY.
HER FACE IS THE ONLY THING SHE'S GOOD FOR.
THE RUMOR THAT SHE BRUTALLY KILLED THE BLUE HEIR THREE YEARS AGO...
...MUST HAVE BEEN A LIE.
IT'S TOO BAD YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ATTEND THE BIG FIVE ASSEMBLY THIS YEAR.
I WAS HOPING TO GO WITH YOU AGAIN.
SHE MAY BE MY HALF-SISTER,
BUT INCEST ONLY BECAME TABOO A COUPLE OF GENERATIONS AGO.
SO ONCE I BECOME THE NEXT HEAD OF THE FAMILY...
DON'T WORRY.
I'M NOT GOING TO LET DEON TAKE FATHER'S PLACE.
I TRUST YOU.
YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON I CAN RELY ON, FONTAINE.
WHAT A MORON.
I'M THE ONE WHO IS USING HIM,
AND YET HE DARES TO COVET ME?
XANA.
OH, NO...
CAN I RIP THAT BASTARD'S EYEBALLS OUT?
NOT NOW.
YOU SHOULD WAIT UNTIL HE HITS ROCK BOTTOM.
THAT IDIOT REALLY NEEDS TO LEARN HIS PLACE.
HE'S WAY TOO CONFIDENT FOR SOMEONE WITH NO ONE ON HIS SIDE.
HE MAKES ME SICK.
OH, RIGHT...
THE FACT THAT FONTAINE HAS RETURNED COULD ONLY MEAN...
LET'S HEAD BACK, JEREMY.
...THAT DEON HAS RETURNED AS WELL.
I NEED TO MEET WITH FATHER FOR A BIT. I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
HMPH, FINE.
PROMISE ME YOU'LL SEE ME FIRST THING IN THE MORNING!
EVER SINCE THAT INCIDENT,
JEREMY...
...STARTED OPENING UP TO ME EVEN MORE THAN BEFORE.
THREE YEARS AGO, ON THE DAY OF OUR MONTHLY EVALUATION...
JEREMY,
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS...
...DURING THE EVALUATION,
YOU MUST COMPLETE YOUR MISSION WITHOUT ANY HESITATION.
XA-XANA...
AAAH!!!!
I KILLED YOU, XANA.
WILL YOU EVER FORGIVE ME?
JEREMY, MY SWEET BABY BROTHER.
İ AM-
I WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD YOU TO DO THAT, REMEMBER?
ALL YOU DID...
...WAS FOLLOW MY ORDERS, JUST AS YOU ALWAYS DO.
IT WAS ALL A HALLUCINATION, ANYWAY.
YOU DIDN'T REALLY KILL ME.
SEE?
I'M STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU NOW.
IF YOU HADN'T DONE WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO, YOU'D BE DEAD BY NOW. AND I WOULD BE VERY SAD IF THAT HAPPENED.
YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.
SO DON'T FEEL BAD, JEREMY.
LADY ROXANA.
MY LADY, WILL YOU BE AVAILABLE TODAY?
LADY SIERRA WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU.
In Roxana Chapter Draft 29, Fontaine provokes Jeremy, who looks upset in the forest, over the injustices of his father and Deon and tries to win his trust. As Jeremy rages at his father for favoring Deon, Fontaine says she sees herself not as an heir but as spoils. Then Roxana soothes Jeremy's guilty memory, and the chapter closes with Lady Sierra's invitation.
