Key Lines from Episode 4

“Give me ten turns of the hourglass. Once the grain arrives, I'll sever all blood ties with you. I won't claim a single piece of Moon Bay Valley or any right to inherit it.”

Lyra Frost · Rowan orders her to finish the bonding ceremony at the clan altar.

“Why don't we humor her and wait? If no one comes before those ten turns runs out, she can still complete the bond with Adrian.”

Ruby · Ruby urges Rowan to accept Lyra's wager regarding the grain delivery.

“Who besides me would ever be willing to bond with you? And you're demanding ten granaries? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself whether you're worth that much?”

Adrian · Adrian insults Lyra after she demands ten granaries from the Wolf King.

How Episode 4 Ends

Ruby clears Rowan, Adrian, and the onlookers out of the ceremony hall, leaving herself alone with Lyra. The hourglass is now turning as Lyra waits for Cassian's answer. What will Ruby say to Lyra behind closed doors, and will the Wolf King actually bring ten granaries of grain before the tenth turn ends?
