Chapter 20 Summary

If Ned could live his life over, he would never have read the writings of Morvath that he studied to gain his trust. Now, his affiliation with Morvath is over, with Morvath’s plans crumbled and Morvath dead. Cecilia tells Ned to turn the house around, as she sees her aunt has escaped the abbey. Ned turns the house and initiates the landing incantation.

Cecilia then tells Ned that they need to go to her bedroom. When they get to Cecilia’s room, she initiates sexual intimacy with him. They kiss passionately before Ned throws Cecilia on the bed. While they are intimate, both of them realize they are in love with each other. Afterward, Cecilia is heartbroken, as she believes this is the last time she will see Ned. Ned, however, plans to marry Cecilia, even if Aunt Darlington or the Queen disapproves.
