Short filmTranscript
00:00All men desired me, yet this man alone had my heart.
00:08If I didn't need your blood to complete Lilith's awakening,
00:12I wouldn't have wasted a single second pretending to be with you.
00:22I can take this throne with or without you.
00:25I am the last princess of House Phoenix,
00:28and the husband I poured every ounce of my heart and soul into helping become the new Dragon King
00:32was now using my blood to curry favor with my stepsister.
00:39I felt the fire leaving me, my power slipping away, my vision growing blurry.
00:43I could live again.
00:50Seraphina, have you decided who you will take as your husband?
00:53The Dragonblood Council Chamber?
00:55It's the day of the choosing. I'm reborn.
00:58Your Majesty, I-
00:59Your Majesty.
01:00Calus dropped to one knee and cut me off in the exact spot I remembered him standing.
01:03Your Majesty, I know Seraphina has feelings for me.
01:07But the only woman I love is Lilith.
01:09I have sworn a blood oath.
01:11If I betray her, let Dragonfire burn me to ash.
01:13I knew he was reborn too.
01:15A gasp rippled through the chamber.
01:17How dare you?
01:18You Majesty, I have decided whom I will marry.
01:27The Dragon bloodline had been weakening for centuries.
01:30No heir could awaken a dragon egg alone any longer.
01:34Any of the dragonborn may attempt the dragon's trial,
01:37but none had withstood all nine layers of dragonfire alone.
01:40The only way was to form a bond with the bloodline of House Phoenix.
01:43My blood was the key.
01:45Yet he dares to marry a servant's daughter.
01:47I know Seraphina cannot live without me.
01:51I am willing to take her as my second wife.
01:56I will care for her for the rest of my days.
01:59How dare you!
02:00A girl of common birth who exists only by the mercy of the Phoenix clan.
02:05She is not worthy to be compared to the princess.
02:08What are you standing there for?
02:10You've been dying to marry me.
02:11I just gave you your chance.
02:13Take it.
02:14Lilith has generously agreed to share me with you.
02:16You should be grateful.
02:18I nearly laughed out loud.
02:19King Aldrich's gaze turned sharp, his aura of authority forcing Calus to his knees.
02:24Seraphina, say the word and he is yours to punish.
02:29Your Majesty, the one I wish to marry is...
02:40The king was stunned by my choice.
02:43But the look of confusion on his face quickly faded.
02:46If that is truly what you want, I will arrange it.
02:49Get out!
02:50I don't want to see you right now.
02:54He looked at me with contempt.
02:56Still confident that I would refuse to marry anyone but him.
02:58Just as I had in my past life.
03:00I did not spare him a single glance.
03:03My gaze moved past him to the young man standing in the far corner of the chamber.
03:07Two small horns jutted from his forehead, looking like those of a double room.
03:11But I knew his bloodline was far more than it seemed.
03:14He looked nothing like the man I remembered from my past life.
03:17King Aldrich dismissed the suitors asking to speak with me alone.
03:20As I left the chamber, Calus and Lilith were waiting outside.
03:24Serafina, thank you for letting me be with Calus.
03:27There were no tears on her face.
03:29How had I never seen how vile she was in my past life?
03:32If my parents were still alive, they would be so grateful to you.
03:36Why are you thanking her?
03:38I'm the one who chose to marry you.
03:40Even if there's any gratitude to be have, it's she who should thank you for generously sharing me.
03:45Lilith's parents died because of you.
03:47She lost everything when you came back.
03:49The least you can do is give her some compensation.
03:52I want you.
03:56When I was an infant, the War of Ashes swept across the continent, nearly wiping the Phoenix clan off the
04:01map.
04:02Survivors found Lilith in the ruins and mistook her for the last Phoenix child.
04:05I was coincidentally taken in by Lilith's parents.
04:08They raised me as their own, but they were later killed by wild beasts.
04:11Their deaths ignited the Phoenix fire in my blood for the first time, leading my true family to find me.
04:16In my past life, I carried the guilt of their deaths for a hundred years.
04:20I gave Lilith everything she asked for because I believed I owed her a debt.
04:24It wasn't until the moment I died that I learned the truth.
04:26I was the one who lured the beasts there.
04:28I thought if they died, the secret of my identity would be buried forever.
04:32I never thought it would lead you back to House Phoenix.
04:36Well, that just means you have to die too.
04:39I need to talk to you about something.
04:41Lilith's bloodline is weak.
04:43She'll get picked on.
04:44You've been giving her my gifts for years.
04:47Who would dare lay a hand on her?
04:48That's not the same as real power.
04:50I want your blood.
04:53I never thought he could sink to such depths of shamelessness.
04:56The agony of that tower flooded back into my chest.
04:58My hands trembling.
04:59Hatred rose so fast I could barely hold back the Phoenix fire in my veins.
05:03Letting them die an easy death would never be enough to sate my rage.
05:06But in that moment, I truly wanted to kill them.
05:08We're going to be husband and wife soon.
05:10Give your blood to Lilith and I'll take care of you forever.
05:22Princess Serafina, the king sent me to find you.
05:25It was the young man from the corner of the hallway.
05:26Even as the pressure forced Calus to his knees, he remained standing straight and tall.
05:31No strain, no fear.
05:32Then let's go.
05:34Wait!
05:35A lowly black work.
05:37What could you possibly have to say to him?
05:40Instead of worrying about who I talked to, you'd be better off focusing on the dragon's trial in five days.
05:45The dragon's trial.
05:46Dragon heirs would enter the proving grounds, offering their blood to the dragon egg.
05:50Whoever could withstand the dragon fire and be accepted by the egg would become the new dragon king.
05:55If the egg rejected them, the dragon fire would burn them alive.
05:58Most suitors chose to undertake the trial in stages.
06:01Multiple attempts over years, even decades, slowly building up their tolerance.
06:05In my past life, with the protection of my blood, Calus had broken through all nine layers of dragon fire
06:10in one go.
06:11No one had ever done it before.
06:12He became a legend overnight.
06:14You don't need to worry about that.
06:15I'm the strongest suitor of this generation.
06:18The trial is nothing.
06:19I can complete it even without your help.
06:21In five days, you just sit there and wait for me to marry you.
06:25The king told you everything?
06:26Princess.
06:28I swear by the old gods, should I betray you in this life, may dragon fire melt my bones tomorrow.
06:33He swore on his very soul.
06:35I felt the budding bond stir within me too.
06:39I trust you.
06:42Princess!
06:44They've smashed your mother's memorial!
06:50This was my mother's memorial, the shrine she had built with her own hands in the center of the courtyard.
06:55She had pricked her finger, let her blood fall upon the shrine's peak, and ignited the phoenix fire, fire that
07:01no storm or tempest could ever extinguish.
07:04Serafina, I'm going to a faraway place.
07:07When you miss me, come sit by the shrine.
07:11Mummy will always be with you.
07:13That fire was the last thing my mother ever gave me.
07:16How dare you.
07:18Lilith loves the nightingale crest.
07:20From this day forward, this courtyard will fly her family's banner.
07:27Listen, I know you're angry with Lilith.
07:29I'll let your little tantrum at any slide for now.
07:30When that happens, even if you get down on your knees and beg me, I won't spare you a single
07:34glance.
07:34He studied my face closely, searching for any trace of panic.
07:38But he found nothing.
07:39His tone turned hypocritical once more.
07:41I'm doing this for your own good.
07:43Get along with Lilith, and I'll grant you the honor of bearing my firstborn son.
07:46Calus, you will never be my husband.
07:48If not me, then who?
07:49The king himself announced he's arranging our wedding.
07:52Stop speaking out of anger, and think this through.
07:58There would indeed be a wedding, but it would never be yours.
08:02Five days later, everyone gathered at the Proving Grounds.
08:05To my surprise, Lilith was there too.
08:07Seraphina, I'm counting on you today.
08:09I'm the strongest heir here.
08:11Use your blood to get me through this trial.
08:13I'll marry you, and the two of you will get along well after this.
08:16His gaze swept contemptuously over the other suitors, until it suddenly landed on the sigil at Darian's waist.
08:25Why is the phoenix sigil in your possession?
08:27Darian did not move.
08:28He met Calus' gaze calmly.
08:30That calm only enraged Calus further.
08:32He was about to lash out when Lilith grabbed his arm.
08:36Calus, that ring can't be real.
08:37It's a fake.
08:38A man like him probably won't even survive the first layer of dragon fire.
08:41Don't waste your time on this.
08:43Moments later, King Aldrich arrived and ordered the trial to begin.
08:46One suitor after another stepped into the arena.
08:49The dragon eggs lay wrapped in flame, waiting for blood to awaken them.
08:53Most could only withstand a single layer of dragon fire.
08:55The very best made it to three.
08:57A flicker of disappointment crossed King Aldrich's eyes.
09:00Then it was Calus' turn.
09:01He stepped forward with brash confidence, Lilith hot on his heels.
09:05The fire from the dragon eggs raged fierce.
09:07Someone of Lilith's caliber would be incinerated the moment they drew near.
09:16Lilith drew a short dagger from her belt and sliced open her own wrist.
09:19As blood left her body, her complexion turned weak and pale.
09:23Lilith, what are you doing?
09:25You only need to be with me.
09:26You don't have to worry about anything else.
09:27Losing this much blood will ruin you.
09:30Calus, I know my bloodline can't pair to the Phoenix princesses.
09:33But I want to do something for you.
09:35Let my bloodline help you through the trial.
09:37Blood of that caliber, it'll burn to ash the second it gets near the dragon egg.
09:43She's got guts, I'll give her that.
09:46What's so special about Calus anyway?
09:48Isn't she scared?
09:49If he can't withstand the fire, her blood will burn first.
09:51She's done for.
09:52Can't believe the Phoenix princess ever had eyes for a man like this.
09:55I watched this little performance, one that never happened in my past life,
10:00and wondered where it would lead.
10:02Calus strode confidently into the proving grounds.
10:04He sliced open his palm before the dragon egg, letting a flood of blood fall onto the shell.
10:10The dragon fire surged violently upward.
10:13He triggered all nine layers at once.
10:15Wave after wave of searing heat blasted outward, forcing the crowd back.
10:19Everyone was shocked by what he had done.
10:21Is he insane?
10:23Triggering all nine layers at once?
10:24No one has ever done that!
10:28Even with the princess's help, he might not pull this off!
10:35Even Lilith froze.
10:36She had clearly not expected him to go this far.
10:39I watched with a blank face.
10:41This was who he had always been.
10:42In my past life, in this one, he cared for no one but himself.
10:46This time, I wanted to watch him try it alone.
10:48Seraphina, don't you want to marry me?
10:51You're here to get me through the trial.
10:54Come in at once!
10:58Seraphina, hurry up!
11:00This isn't funny!
11:02The nine layers of dragon fire will kill me!
11:05I barely recognized him.
11:07Calus was actually begging.
11:10Before he could finish, the first wave of dragon fire erupted.
11:20Calus was already distraught and completely unprepared.
11:23Blood flushed from his mouth.
11:25Lilith's face was twisted with terror.
11:27The blood she had offered, evaporated the instant the dragon fire struck.
11:31Life drained from Lilith like running water.
11:34Her skin wrinkled.
11:35The crowd stared at her without a shred of sympathy.
11:38No, don't look at me!
11:39Please, don't look at me!
11:42Calus, help me!
11:44All trace of Calus' arrogance was gone.
11:46He looked up at me.
11:47Save me.
11:49Please.
11:49I am your...
11:51Your husband.
11:52You cannot just stand there and watch me die.
11:55Beneath the gaze of everyone in the hall,
11:57I turned around and took Darian's hand.
12:06Who said you're my husband?
12:11I pulled the token from Darian's waist.
12:13The one etched with the Phoenix Clan crest, gleaming in the firelight.
12:17I made a pact with King Alderk.
12:20Darian is my choice.
12:22He is my one and only betrothed.
12:25Then the crowd erupted.
12:27No way!
12:28How is this possible?
12:31Him?
12:32Darian?
12:33The neglected heir to the Black Dragon lineage?
12:35Quiet, steady, unlike the other suitors who fawned over me to win my favor.
12:40Most of the time, he merely stood in the corner.
12:43When our eyes met on occasion, his ears would flush red.
12:46In my past life, after I died,
12:48Calus ordered my body left to rot atop the tower, untouched by anyone.
12:52Every dragon heir in the kingdom feared the new king and dared not defy him.
12:56He alone was the exception.
12:57Darian trekked through the northern wind and snow for three months to reach the tower.
13:01He knelt beside my body and personally bandaged every wound Calus had inflicted on me.
13:06He kept vigil for seven days and seven nights.
13:08My lord, she will not return.
13:11I beg you.
13:15I have loved her for two hundred years.
13:18May she find someone who loves her as I do in her next life.
13:21Many men desired me, but they only craved what I could give them.
13:25The phoenix bloodline dragon eggs the crown.
13:27Darian was the only one who was different.
13:34I looked at Calus.
13:36Last time he'd only dared to unleash three layers of dragon fire.
13:40Three layers had nearly killed him.
13:42He had begged me to protect him.
13:43I sliced my palm open and shielded him with all my strength.
13:47In the end, he endured all nine waves of flame, becoming the first to do so in five thousand years.
13:52The whole world bowed to him.
13:54Everyone knew his name.
13:55But my soul was damaged.
13:57My power would never return to what it once was.
14:00This time, he was greedier.
14:01Armed with the memories of our past life, he triggered all nine layers without hesitation.
14:06He did not care at all if I was hurt.
14:08What a pity.
14:09I stared at the churning dragon fire in the trial grounds.
14:13This time, he would not survive the second layer.
14:42Lilith was not so fortunate.
14:43She slit her wrist and gave everything she had.
14:46When the dragon fire struck, her blood evaporated in an instant, and the flames rebounded on her.
14:52The young woman was gone.
14:53In her place stood a withered 80-year-old crone.
14:56King Aldrich's gaze locked onto me.
14:58I gave a slight nod.
15:00Calus caught the tiny gesture at once.
15:02A flicker of hope flashed in his eyes.
15:04He stumbled toward me and dropped to his knees.
15:08Seraphina, I was wrong.
15:13Seraphina, please.
15:15Forgive me.
15:17I want you.
15:19Only you.
15:20I swear I'll be faithful to you.
15:23I beg you.
15:30Calus, did you ever think of this day when you drained my blood for Lilith?
15:47Come.
15:48I will stay with you.
15:53What's wrong?
15:57He doesn't want you, Seraphiana.
16:00Do you truly think everyone craves you?
16:07Princess, I wish to complete the trial on my own.
16:10I know your bloodline is powerful, but dragon fire is cruel.
16:14I will not let you pay that price for me.
16:17Are you afraid?
16:21A little.
16:22He did not pretend to be brave.
16:23He was afraid, but he would not let it stop him.
16:25I let go of his hand.
16:27Darien turned and stepped into the trial grounds.
16:29The dormant dragon egg glowed faintly.
16:31He sliced his palm open, letting blood drip onto it.
16:37The first layer of dragon fire struck.
16:41Only one layer.
16:42It's too easy.
16:43I'm disappointed.
16:45The second layer followed, and the crowd slowly fell silent.
16:48I had not expected the second layer of flame to be this fierce.
16:51It meant his bloodline ran deeper than any of theirs.
16:55The third layer.
16:57The fourth layer.
16:58He still stood straight.
17:01The suitors who had scorned him minutes ago stared at him.
17:10After the fifth layer, the suitors in the stands felt the pressure of the dragon fire.
17:15So he held fast.
17:16His robes had burned to tatters.
17:18I could see the extensive burns across his chest and arms.
17:21But he did not flinch.
17:23I thought this would be his limit.
17:25In my past life, five layers had been all he could bear.
17:28The finest of his generation.
17:30But this time he did not step out.
17:32He was clearly on the brink of collapse.
17:34Covered in wounds he could barely stand.
17:36The sixth layer of dragon fire crashed down.
17:39I crunched my fist.
17:40Seconds later, the flames faded.
17:42He dropped to one knee, but he held on.
17:45He had shattered his limit from my past life.
17:48Six layers of dragon fire alone.
17:50Without the protection of my bloodline, Darion was the strongest living dragon blood heir.
17:55Yet he looked ready to break.
17:56Another layer would kill him.
18:01Let's see you fight the seventh layer.
18:04I watched him rise unsteady as the seventh layer of dragon fire erupted.
18:20I'm here.
18:26The power of the phoenix bloodline flowed from my body into his.
18:29The seventh wave struck.
18:31This time, Darion took no harm.
18:33His burns began to heal.
18:35The eighth layer.
18:39The ninth.
18:40Blazing light swallowed the trial grounds.
18:43Obscuring everything from the stands.
18:59When the final wave of dragon fire faded, a true dragon king was born.
19:03The dragon egg cracked open and a black dragon emerged, soaring into the sky.
19:08It did not look at the king.
19:09It did not look at the suitors.
19:11At last, it landed before Darion.
19:19Darion, chosen consort of the phoenix clan, future dragon blood king, I, Aldric, bow to you.
19:35And our wedding was scheduled in three days.
19:40I was in my chambers when I heard a commotion outside.
19:43Pippa went to check and came back fuming with anger.
19:51Princess, it's Calus.
19:52Princess, it's Calus, he's here to see you.
19:54And he brought Lilith with him.
19:55I am stronger than him.
19:57It torments him to live in my shadow.
19:59Lilith is weak, and women like her make men feel needed.
20:04But now he has nothing.
20:06I wonder how long this so-called love will last.
20:14Calus stood at the palace gate in a black cloak.
20:17Lilith cowered behind him, her face etched with age and decay.
20:21Seeing me frown, Calus yanked off his hood at once.
20:24Congratulations to the happy couple.
20:25She is nothing to me!
20:28Serafina, she tricked me!
20:29She drugged me!
20:30He caught the faint smile on my face and mistook it for softness.
20:33I love you.
20:34I have always loved you.
20:36If that bitch hadn't deceived me, I would never have hurt you at all.
20:40Serafina, you must believe me!
20:42Calus, do you really think I don't know how that drug works?
20:46To control you, she would have to be more powerful than you.
20:49But you are dragon blood.
20:51Even without finishing the trial, you are still a dragon heir.
20:55How could someone of her caliber control you?
20:57She stole a lock of your hair.
20:59She brewed a potion with it.
21:01She turned all your feelings for me onto herself.
21:03He babbled wildly now, scrambling for excuses, grasping at anything to persuade me.
21:08He shifted all the blame onto Lilith.
21:10He thought empty sweet words would make me take him back.
21:13My hand cracked across his face.
21:15His head snapped sharply to one side.
21:18He stared at me, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
21:21So what?
21:22Even if all of this is true, do you think a tragic story can erase everything you did to me?
21:27Calus, let me make this perfectly clear.
21:30You and Lilith are bound together.
21:32You will rot in the gutter for the rest of your lives and you will never be apart.
21:36Said nothing.
21:37He just stood there.
21:38But the new dragon king's aura bore down on Calus, bending his spine inch by inch.
21:43His knees buckled.
21:44He crashed heavily to the ground and Lilith collapsed beside him.
21:49They fled in terror.
21:51Darion withdrew his pressure.
21:53He turned to me once again the quiet, gentle man he had always been.
21:56Are you alright?
21:58I have something to show you.
22:00Curious I followed him outside and froze.
22:02In the center of the main courtyard.
22:05My mother's memorial, the shrine Calus had destroyed, stood whole once more.
22:10Every stone was back in its place.
22:12The ancient phoenix script carved into its face was cracked in places, but every fragment had been carefully pieced together.
22:18Flames burned at the shrine's peak.
22:20Not my mother's flames.
22:22Black.
22:22The genuine dragon fire.
22:24As I stared, the flames shifted to a deep amber.
22:27I cannot bring your mother back.
22:29But I can make sure her flame never dies.
22:31The night after the dragon trial, Darion had not returned to the palace with me.
22:36He had gone alone to the ancient homeland of the phoenix clan, knelt before the eldest bloodline guardian all night,
22:42and begged until she taught him the old ritual to restore the phoenix sacred stones.
22:46At dawn the next day he had returned to this courtyard alone.
22:49He lifted every shard of rubble by hand, piece by piece, and rebuilt the shrine.
22:54He did not know what words were carved on each surface.
22:57He never asked me.
