two guards open the door for clarke before she steps in into the throne room, lexa meanwhile teaches her nightbloods who sit in a round before her, she asks them on trigadesleng

lexa: [what are the three pillars of being commanded?]

the nightbloods answer on trigadesleng

girl: [wisdorm] boy: [compassion] girl: [and strength]

while the nightblood answered lexa’s question clarke had approached titus, they stand aside and talk

clarke: talk about nia?

titus answers emotionless

titus: no, but maybe you can.

clarke: I don't understand the queen's not fighting, why should she?

titus answers as he looks how lexa reaches the nightbloods

titus: the queen's strength is not in doubt, thanks to you heda is it.

titus says coldly to clarke, he isn’t really a fan of her. meanwhile lexa ends her lesson with the nightbloods

lexa: train hard and remember, you are each worthy of your nightblood.

titus then approaches the nightbloods and leads them outside, but lexa stops one of them, aden.

lexa: aden stay.

clarke then slowly approaches

lexa: clarke, this is aden. aden is the most promising of mind initiates, if I should die today he will likely succeed me.

clarke‘s eyes narrow

lexa: clarke worries about her people, tell her what will happen to them when you become heda aden.

aden holds his sword as he turns to clarke, he talks determined and in all honesty.

aden: if I become heda, I pledge my loyalty to the 13th clan.

lexa nods and says to aden

lexa: thank you, now go join the others.

aden bows his head and leaves

clarke turns around and watches as aden leaves, she is in disbelief.

but lexa smiles and says softly

lexa: see, nothing to worry about.

but clarke sees that different, she answers harshly

clarke: I’m sorry if I’m worried the fate of my people lies in the hands of a child.

lexa: then you worry for nothing, I've sent Indra to raise an army from the villages near arcadia.
