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