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.
00:26I 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.
00:44If I could live again.
00:50Seraphina, have you decided who you will take as your husband?
00:54The Dragonblood Council Chamber?
00:55It's the day of the choosing!
00:57I'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.
01:14I knew he was reborn too.
01:15A gasp rippled through the chamber.
01:17How dare you!
01:19You 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, but none had withstood all nine layers
01:38of dragon fire 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.
01:48I 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!
02:01A 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.
02:12I 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, still confident that I would refuse to marry anyone but him,
02:59just 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.
03:24Seraphina, 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,
03:42it'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,
03:59nearly wiping the Phoenix Clan off the map.
04:01Survivors 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.
04:12Their deaths ignited the Phoenix Fire in my blood for the first time,
04:15leading my true family to find me.
04:17In 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.
04:29I 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.
05:00Hatred 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.
05:09We're going to be husband and wife soon.
05:11Give your blood to Lilith.
05:13And I'll take care of you forever.
05:22Princess Seraphina, the king sent me to find you.
05:25It was the young man from the corner of the hallway.
05:27Even 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 talk 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.
05:51Whoever 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?
06:27Princess, I swear by the old gods, should I betray you in this life, may dragon fire melt my bones
06:33tomorrow.
06:33He swore on his very soul.
06:35I felt the budding bond stir within me too.
06:39I trust you.
06:43Princess!
06:44They've smashed your mother's memorial!
06:49Princess.
06:50Princess.
06:51Princess.
06:51This 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.
07:01Fire that no 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. I'll let your little tantrum at any slide for now.
07:31When 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, but 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
08:21at 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.
09:11Don't worry.
09:12Serafina won't let me fail.
09:14Just wait for me to come out and marry you.
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.
09:28Losing 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.
09:56I 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.
10:05He sliced open his palm before the dragon egg,
10:08letting 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.
10:43In 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.
11:11Before he could finish, the first wave of dragon fire erupted.
11:20Calus was already distraught and completely unprepared.
11:23Blood gushed from his mouth.
11:25Lilith's face was twisted with terror.
11:27The blood she had offered, evaporated the instant the dragon fire struck.
11:32Life 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.
11:50I 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,
12:16gleaming 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.
12:26No way!
12:28How is this possible?
12:31Him?
12:32Darian?
12:33The neglected heir to the Black Dragon lineage?
12:35Quiet, steady,
12:37unlike the other suitors who fawned over me to win my favor.
12:40Most of the time,
12:41he merely stood in the corner.
12:43When our eyes met on occasion,
12:44his ears would flush red.
12:46In my past life, after I died,
12:48Calus ordered my body left to rot atop the tower,
12:51untouched by anyone.
12:52Every dragon heir in the kingdom feared the new king
12:54and dared not defy him.
12:55He alone was the exception.
12:57Darian trekked through the northern wind and snow
13:00for three months to reach the tower.
13:01He knelt beside my body
13:03and 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,
13:23but they only craved what I could give them.
13:25The phoenix bloodline, dragon eggs, the crown.
13:28Darian was the only one who was different.
13:35I 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,
13:48he endured all nine waves of flame,
13:50becoming 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,
14:00he was greedier,
14:02armed with the memories of our past life.
14:04He 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,
14:13he would not survive the second layer.
14:42Lilith was not so fortunate.
14:44She slit her wrist and gave everything she had.
14:46When the dragon fire struck,
14:48her blood evaporated in an instant,
14:50and the flames rebounded on her.
14:52The young woman was gone.
14:54In her place stood a withered 80-year-old crone.
14:57King Aldrich's gaze locked onto me.
14:59I gave a slight nod.
15:00Calus caught the tiny gesture at once.
15:02A flicker of hope flashed in his eyes.
15:05He stumbled toward me and dropped to his knees.
15:09Seraphina,
15:09I was wrong.
15:13Seraphina,
15:14please,
15:16forgive me.
15:17I want you.
15:19Only you.
15:20I swear I'll be faithful to you.
15:23I beg you.
15:29Calus,
15:30did you ever think of this day
15:32when you drained my blood for Lilith?
15:47Come,
15:48I will stay with you.
15:53What's wrong?
15:57He doesn't want you,
15:59Seraphiana.
16:00Do you truly think everyone craves you?
16:06Princess,
16:07I wish to complete the trial on my own.
16:10I know your bloodline is powerful,
16:12but dragon fire is cruel.
16:14I will not let you pay that price for me.
16:17Are you afraid?
16:21A little.
16:21He did not pretend to be brave.
16:23He was afraid,
16:24but he would not let it stop him.
16:26I let go of his hand.
16:27Darian turned and stepped into the trial grounds.
16:29The dormant dragon egg glowed faintly.
16:31He sliced his palm open,
16:33letting 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,
16:46and 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.
16:56The third layer.
16:57The fourth layer.
16:58He still stood straight.
17:01The suitors who had scorned him minutes ago stared at him.
17:11After the fifth layer,
17:12the 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.
17:22But he did not flinch.
17:23I thought this would be his limit.
17:25In my past life,
17:26five 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.
17:37The sixth layer of dragon fire crashed down.
17:39I clenched my fist.
17:41Seconds later,
17:41the flames faded.
17:42He dropped to one knee,
17:44but he held on.
17:46He had shattered his limit from my past life.
17:48Six layers of dragon fire alone.
17:51Without the protection of my bloodline,
17:52Darion was the strongest living dragon blood heir.
17:55Yet he looked ready to break.
17:56Another layer would kill him.
18:02Let'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.
18:31I'm here.
18:33His burns began to heal.
18:35The eighth layer.
18:39The ninth.
18:41Blazing light swallowed the trial grounds,
18:43obscuring everything from the stands.
18:59When the final wave of dragon fire faded,
19:02a true dragon king was born.
19:03The dragon egg cracked open and a black dragon emerged,
19:07soaring 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 was crowned the new king of the dragon bloodline.
19:22Future dragon blood king,
19:24I, Aldric, bow to you.
19:32Darion was crowned the new king of the dragon bloodline.
19:35King Aldric bestowed treasures and titles upon him,
19:38and 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.
19:52He'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.
20:00Lilith is weak,
20:01and 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,
20:19her face etched with age and decay.
20:21Seeing me frown,
20:22Calus yanked off his hood at once.
20:24Congratulations to the happy couple.
20:26She is nothing to me!
20:28Serafina,
20:28she tricked me!
20:29She drugged me!
20:30He caught the faint smile on my face
20:32and mistook it for softness.
20:34I love you.
20:34I have always loved you.
20:36If that bitch hadn't deceived me,
20:38I would never have hurt you at all.
20:40Serafina, you must believe me!
20:42Calus,
20:43do you really think I don't know how that drug works?
20:46To control you,
20:47she would have to be more powerful than you.
20:49But you are dragon blood.
20:51Even without finishing the trial,
20:53you 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.
21:04He babbled wildly now,
21:05scrambling for excuses,
21:07grasping at anything to persuade me.
21:08He shifted all the blame onto Lilith.
21:11He 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,
21:19unable to comprehend what had just happened.
21:21So what?
21:22Even if all of this is true,
21:24do you think a tragic story can erase everything you did to me?
21:27Calus,
21:28let 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
21:35and 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,
21:41bending his spine inch by inch.
21:43His knees buckled.
21:44He crashed heavily to the ground
21:46and Lilith collapsed beside him.
21:49They fled in terror.
21:51Darion withdrew his pressure.
21:52He turned to me once again
21:54the 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.
22:03In the center of the main courtyard.
22:05My mother's memorial,
22:06the shrine Calus had destroyed,
22:08stood whole once more.
22:10Every stone was back in its place.
22:12The ancient phoenix script
22:13carved into its face was cracked in places,
22:15but every fragment had been carefully pieced together.
22:18Flames burned at the shrine's peak.
22:21Not my mother's flames, black.
22:23The genuine dragon fire.
22:24As I stared,
22:25the 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,
22:34Darion had not returned to the palace with me.
22:36He had gone alone to the ancient homeland
22:38as the phoenix clan,
22:39knelt before the eldest bloodline guardian all night,
22:42and begged until she taught him the old ritual
22:44to restore the phoenix sacred stones.
22:46At dawn the next day,
22:48he had returned to this courtyard alone.
22:50He lifted every shard of rubble by hand,
22:52piece by piece,
22:53and rebuilt the shrine.
22:54He did not know what words were carved on each surface.
22:57He never asked me.
22:58He only used his hands,
23:00his instinct,
23:01and set every fragment where he knew it belonged.
23:13I love you.
