Alexandria begins to suspect that instead of protecting her, Miles is planning to kill her so he can inherit Layton Manor.
She offers him her heart. Will he take her life?
The Layton Prophecy:
Old Man Layton, he goes first
Lost and lonely, dies of thirst
Bonnie Maiden follows soon
Love and marriage, that’s her doom
Death is diamonds, curse is gold
Those who seek them won’t grow old
Children, children, you be ware
Heed this warning, leave it there
Like a wheel, she starts again
Crosses oceans, rejoins men
When there's two, it happens twice
Death with heat, with crystal ice
Gold and diamonds, it’s all there
One can get them, one who’ll care
If they fail, don’t make amends
The Layton line, there it ends
