02:41baby never got
02:42to open its eyes before being killed by its own father my soul vanished along with my child i never
02:48expected to be reborn on the day of the selection hatred made my fingers cold as i looked at chiron
02:53but i noticed something strange this time he was staring at my plain looking sister i realized it
03:00instantly he was reborn too gods you may choose your partners the high king announced the start of the
03:07ceremony in my last life chiron was the first to choose he walked straight to me and picked me
03:13instantly but this time he walked straight to my sister leah father i wish to marry princess leah of
03:19the elf clan chiron are you sure yes father my mind is made up my sister was overjoyed she grabbed
03:27chiron's hand only then did chiron turn to look at me as if by accident his eyes were like a
03:33knife
03:33stabbing deep into my heart suddenly a warm hand grabbed my wrist i turned around and looked into
03:39a pair of dark ink colored eyes he held my wrist high and announced to everyone i want her
03:48no one expected leon the proud god of fire to choose me chiron's face darkened leon don't say i didn't
03:56warn you choosing such a weak elf princess as your wife will only lead to regret later my chest tightened
04:02and i wanted to speak but leon's hand slid down and gripped mine firmly chiron worry about your own
04:10partner and stay out of my business i like this elf girl whether she is weak or her aura damaged
04:15i find
04:16her charming i'm taking her my heart skipped a beat no one had ever chosen me so firmly everyone else
04:22was stunned too then the queen laughed behind her hand breaking the awkward silence leon has always been
04:30like this if he likes her let them be together leon was the favorite child and the king and queen
04:35spoiled him deeply beside us chiron glared at me and let out a cold laugh leon who would want such
04:41a
04:42useless piece of trap in less than a hundred years you'll hate her i'll be waiting to see the day
04:47you
04:47cry and regret my older sister and i returned to the elf realm to wait for our wedding on the
04:53wedding
04:54day leon came to my room she looked at my thin poor dowry and mocked me ella even we both
05:00marrying gods
05:01you are still just a lowly elf you must remember i am marrying the future king while you are marrying
05:08a god with a violent temper don't come crying to me when you suffer in the god realm i don't
05:13want to
05:13deal with you i looked at leah's arrogant face and laughed inside my dear sister i hope you never
05:19experienced the pain i felt in my last life my sister and i were both married into the god realm
05:25as the eldest son of the king chiron's wedding was incredibly grand leah's wedding was spectacular
05:33everyone in the elf and human realms praised her they said she had reached the heavens and would one
05:39day be queen bringing luck to the world i looked up at leah sitting on the back of a divine
05:45beast with
05:46chiron but i felt no envy at all in my last life i was the one in that spot back
05:54then i naively thought
05:56chiron was perfect and that we would be happy forever while i was lost in thought the shadow of
06:03a giant black dragon suddenly appeared in the sky the dragon's roar shook the world and pierced through
06:09the clouds the crowd gasped in shock until the dragon landed in front of me and turned into a man
06:16leon wore a long black robe he reached out grabbed my waist and pulled me tightly into his arms then
06:24right in front of everyone he gave me a firm kiss on my cheek forget those boring rituals come with
06:31me
06:31suddenly i was lifted off my feet under the gaze of the entire elf realm leon carried me straight up
06:38to
06:38the god realm chiron and leah's spotlight was completely stolen leon was deeply loved by the
06:44king and queen and his palace sat in the most beautiful spot in the realm after bringing me back
06:50leon said ella from now on this is your home my heart suddenly felt tight and emotional since my mother
06:59passed away i haven't had a home the leon in front of me was not as arrogant as the legend
07:06said
07:07i remembered in my last life whenever he appeared with leah he always seemed distracted and impatient
07:14there were even rumors among the maids that leah only got pregnant so fast because she used love spells
07:22but back then i was too worried about my own life to care about their relationship
07:27i used to think leon was hard to get along with but now i see that isn't true he is
07:32taller and more handsome
07:34than chiron when he looks at me his dark eyes are always bright almost as if as if he has
07:42been looking
07:42at me like this for a long time my cheeks turned bright red leon smiled and gently tilted my chin
07:50up
07:55the voice of a soldier came from outside lord leon typhon has escaped from the abyss
08:04wait for me he whispered before turning toward the battlefield
08:08i watched him go my heart a swirl of unspoken emotions meanwhile rumors spread of chiron and leah's
08:16perfect romance chiron showered her with rare herbs and accompanied her home in a display of public
08:22devotion naturally the people of the elf realm didn't miss the chance to mock me what was the
08:29point of that flashy wedding she's just a lonely widow in a big house now how pathetic
08:37no one came to serve my palace since leon left likely on someone's orders aside from my two original
08:44maids i was left entirely alone even the standard offerings of celestial herbs and spirit stones
08:50vanished without a trace but i didn't care my palace was full of treasures leon told me to use freely
08:56having been weak since my mother's death i finally began to heal using the divine herbs daily
09:02i repaired my cracked core within years my sickly pale skin began to glow even my maids noticed ella
09:10is becoming so radiant lord leon will be enchanted when he returns i blushed at the thought but leon had
09:16yet to return soon a dark rumor began to circulate throughout god realm they whispered that princess ella
09:23carried fire curse that would bring ruin to her partner and that leon might never return from the
09:31abyss because of it the tension surrounding me and the fire palace finally reached a breaking point at
09:40a grand feast organized by chiron i hadn't planned on attending but my sister leah sent a formal invitation
09:46claiming that with leon away it was my duty to represent him i had no choice but to go i
09:53had
09:53my maids craft a sweeping black robe and pulled my soft flowing hair into a high sharp ponytail
10:00i looked like a mirror image of leon himself when i arrived the entire hall fell silent in shock
10:08leah however did not look well after these few years her face had an unnatural flush her figure was
10:15bloated and her eyes were clouded with exhaustion when she saw me her gaze instantly filled with malice and
10:21envy ella i didn't expect you to thrive so much while leon is missing i smiled calmly sister you flatter
10:31me i am simply waiting for my husband's return at that moment chiron who had been staring at me in
10:38silence suddenly spoke husband how affectionately you call him my expression remained unshaking
10:44as i met his face chiron surely reject leon and i are wed husband is the only natural title as
10:53soon
10:53as those words left my mouth chiron's expression turned deathly cold even leah noticed something was
10:59wrong chiron what is the meaning of this to everyone's shock chiron violently shook off her hand
11:09he stared at me ella do you truly think marrying a warm warring god of fire gave you a good
11:16home
11:18how can you even compare to leah and how can leon possibly compare to me the entire hall fell into
11:24a
11:25stunned silence in the quiet i let out a soft laugh kynon leon has never cared to compare himself to
11:33you
11:33and there is no need to compare me to my sister but as the eldest brother it is improper for
11:40you
11:41to speak el of my husband in my presence with that i turned to leave but my words seemed to
11:48snap
11:49chiron's restraint entirely he lunged forward and grabbed my arm with terrifying force ella you
11:55wouldn't dare you wouldn't dare fall for him i tried to shake him off but his grip was like an
12:02iron
12:02shackle just as the tension reached its breaking point a streak of crimson light flashed into the
12:08hall from outside a razor-sharp blade sliced through the air aimed directly at the arm chiron used to hold
12:14me startled leah got spooked and hid the momentum sent me stumbling backward but a second later a
12:22familiar powerful arm caught me firmly by the waist i heard that voice kiren i show you respect only
12:30because you are my elder brother lay one hand on her again and i will sever this arm from your
12:36body
12:39leon's sudden appearance completely shifted the energy of the feast
12:42as the eldest son chiron held a supreme position in god realm but leon's power as the god of war
12:48was not to be underestimated in all the years prior the two had never clashed openly leon was usually
12:55easygoing and indifferent to most things showing no interest in the throne which led chiron to keep
13:00a respectful distance in my past life chiron even warned me to avoid leon to prevent unnecessary rumors
13:07blinded by my love for him i never disobeyed i died without ever seeing them tear off their masks
13:13of civility but in this life the unexpected was happening chiron stared at leon who held me
13:19protectively in his arms his expression twisted with suppressed rage after a long moment he regained a
13:27forced column you're back leon i was merely having a chat with hella why such anger has years of war
13:34made your temper even more explosive he was the one being insulting yet he had the nerve to claim
13:39leon was the one losing control in that moment i finally understood how the rumors of leon's explosive
13:45temper had started chiron's plan was simple who would want a volatile unstable god on the throne to the
13:53world the gentle god of water was the obvious choice for king i glanced at leon but he looked
13:59completely unbothered clearly used to chiron's slander a surge of rage boiled inside me if not
14:05for my past life even i wouldn't have known that chiron was a total hypocrite in my last life
14:11he spent decades forcing me to take forbidden drugs he watched me cough up blood and scream in
14:18agony from the backfiring spells only to sneer at me with contempt
14:24how is it your sister produced a griffin so easily yet you can't even carry a single cub drink it
14:32drink
14:33every last drop if you can't give me a kid you might as well be dead yet that same cruel
14:40monster would act
14:41like a devoted doting husband the moment anyone else was watching living with that extreme duality
14:47was a constant nightmare he tortured me then and now he was trying to ruin leon the hatred from two
14:54lifetimes boiled over i gripped leon's hand tightly and raised my voice in defiance chiron your words are
15:01utterly absurd you just laid hands on me without cause is this how a god behaves if leon hadn't returned
15:09in
15:09time you would have surely broken my arm a woman's reputation is everything had leon not seen this
15:16with his own eyes rumors would have run wild and i would have had no way to clear my name
15:21you were the one who acted disrespectfully before the gods yet you dare blame leon for his anger
15:27while leon and his warriors bled in the abbess to protect olympus you sat comfortably in this hall
15:32instead of worrying for his safety you insulted his wife where is the justice in that do you not fear
15:39disheartening every warrior currently fighting on the front lines as my words echoed through the hall
15:44everyone stood frozen in absolute shock since arriving on god realm i had been silent and invisible
15:50i never saw conflict which was why they felt so comfortable neglecting me
15:56even leon was stunned by my fierce rebuttal his eyes widened with a look of pure joyful surprise
16:02chiron on the other hand looked as though his face had been carved from permafrost
16:07yet he couldn't find a single word to counter me the banquet ended in a disastrous chill
16:14soon rumors began to swirl that the god of water had acted improperly toward the god of fire's wife
16:18while he was away at battle because i had framed it as an insult to every soldier on the front
16:24lines
16:25the scandal exploded when the high king caught wind of it he summoned chiron and gave him a scathing
16:31reprimand he even ordered chiron into isolation to reflect on his actions a massive blow to his pride
16:39in a way i had finally avenged the version of myself from my past life
16:44leon returned victorious but he was still buried in military affairs i too hadn't quite figured out how
16:51to act around him that day leon went to the high king's palace for a meeting but an uninvited guest
16:58arrived at my palace i looked at leah's venomous expression and felt a wave of weariness sis we both
17:05married into the god realm if we can't support each other fine but why make things so difficult when did
17:12you seduce chiron you made him humiliate himself for you at the feast your mother was just a lowly
17:20servant who seduced our father and you're just like her how dare you ruin my perfect marriage her
17:27insults toward my late mother turned my blood cold sister if it were truly a perfect marriage how could i
17:35ruin it so easily besides in all these years i've barely seen the god of water and you were always
17:42there when exactly did you see me seduce him let me be clear my heart belongs only to my husband
17:52i adore him and i couldn't care less about your precious water god just as the words left my mouth
17:59a soft chuckle came from the doorway i turned to find leon standing there his eyes sparkling with
18:06mischief and delight my face instantly turned bright red what on earth did i just say leah left with a
18:13face pale from fury meanwhile leon having heard my passionate confession slowly approached blushing and
18:23speechless i backed away until he pinned me against the couch a playful smirk on his lips my lady
18:32what was it you just said
18:38nothing i said nothing i could have sworn i heard you say you adore me i
18:45before i could protest leon silenced me with a kiss when the union finally began he revealed the
18:51predatory nature of a primordial god he was relentless leaving me breathless and half-spent
18:57only after such intimacy did i realize that the volatile god of fire could be so incredibly tender
19:02to his wife since then leon and i truly began our life together as a married couple gradually
19:10i discovered that the previously dormant core within my body was beginning to clear
19:19my chronically cold hands and feet grew warm as if an ethereal flame were burning within me
19:26yet it didn't feel scorching instead i felt my soul and body strengthening day by day i finally
19:34understood why i could never conceive in my past life my inner core is fire attributed while chiron is the
19:42god
19:42of water his core was icy and damp a fatal mismatch for mine in my previous life simply neutralizing the
19:52water energy he forced upon me exhausted all my core strength with a volatile and weakened foundation
20:00how could i have ever nurtured a kid the baby i finally conceived after being forced to ingest countless
20:08forbidden drugs was heartlessly crushed to death by him now that i am married to the god of fire our
20:17cores are in perfect harmony during our occasional dual cultivation i feel my body becoming warm and
20:25incredibly light it made me wonder what could my true form be just as i was lost in thought a
20:34piece of
20:34news swept through the god realm princess leah the wife of the water god was pregnant the princesses of
20:43the mortal realm leah and i all wed on the same day while leon was at war the two mortal
20:49princesses both
20:50conceived and gave birth to kid meanwhile the rumors grew cruel elf princesses were less fertile than humans
21:00since leon had been away i wasn't concerned but i knew leah had secretly sought spirit medicines many
21:07times i understood chiron's agonizing forbidden arts better than anyone leah's life these past few years
21:14must have been a misery that withered her beauty now finally pregnant she could hold her head high
21:21her news even restored the high king standing with zeus placing him back at the center of power
21:28i saw her again at a god realm banquet her face was caked in thick powder yet it failed to
21:34mask her
21:34deathly pallor still the moment she saw me she struck a triumphant pose and sneered ella you and leon have
21:42been married for years now why hasn't there been any news of a child you can't even give birth of
21:47a kid
21:47you're a disgrace to our demigod clan if people start thinking our kind is infertile how will you
21:54take responsibility for ruining our reputation i looked at her sickly pale face and sighed there are
22:01many fire bloodlines in the elf clan and you are no exception now that you're pregnant you know best
22:07how much you're suffering instead of bickly with me you should spend that energy figuring out how to
22:13survive what's coming as i spoke chiron stepped forward and wrapped an arm around leah's waist
22:19our child is our business don't bother yourself with it ella perhaps i shouldn't say this but a
22:27useless woman who can't conceive really ought to stay hidden at home don't bring your bad luck into public
22:32spaces he turned a mocking grin toward leon who was standing right behind me my poor brother
22:41i'm afraid you won't see a child for a hundred years best of luck with that the surrounding
22:46immortals cast pitying and scornful glances at us i looked at leon feeling a sharp pang of guilt
22:53i knew how much a child meant to a god having a brilliant and powerful divine beast as an heir
22:58is a crucial factor in becoming the successor to the high king in my last life even though leon and
23:06my
23:06sister were at odds she still bore him a griffin which ultimately helped him ascend to the throne
23:12but in this life though we have been married for years and are deeply in love my womb remained
23:18silent my heart sank at the thought and my eyes began to sting with unshed tears leon however didn't
23:26spare a glance for the mocking crowd he reached out gently pinching my cheek why are you crying what does
23:32a child matter are the two us not happy together but no butts leon gripped my hand turning his back
23:43on the staring gods as he led me out i have you and that is enough i know what you're
23:48worried about ella
23:49but you have to trust me your husband is the god of war the throne was never meant to be
23:54won through a
23:55child my tears finally spilled over as leon pulled me into a tight embrace on an ordinary morning
24:02i was suddenly overcome by nausea and chest tightness leon was terrified doctor and summoned the
24:09celestial physician only to discover i was already three months pregnant he spun me around in his arms
24:15radiating pure joy even the high king and queen were overjoyed granting her countless magical herbs
24:22leah now heavily pregnant and nearing her term looked at me with bitter resentment i wonder what
24:29desperate methods a lowly body like yours had to use to conceive i tilted my head with a smile i
24:36suppose
24:37because your own journey was so difficult you assume everyone else must resort to extreme measures
24:44she shot me a glare and stormed off i watched her go my smile fading into a heavy sigh a
24:51dark lingering
24:52premonition began to crawl into my heart sure enough on the day leah gave birth wild winds roared
24:59through the god realm accompanied by thunder and lightning the high king and queen led the other gods waiting
25:06outside the room but after a day and a night of leah's agonizing screams she gave birth to
25:12a harpy hatchling a slick twisted creature with mangled wings a bird's torso and a fish's tail
25:21it was hideous a grotesque deformity of nature
25:27what is this thing why isn't it a griffin where is my kid useless you are all useless
25:43how could you kill him he was your own flesh and blood you butcher i'll kill you i'll avenge my
25:51child
25:52this is not my child i could never father such a freak
