00:30My lost power, known of it mattered
00:33He even threw us a lavish wedding
00:36When I became pregnant against all odds
00:38He fed me his own blood every day
00:40Even though it weakened him
00:44I thought he was my salvation
00:48Until today, when I overheard him talking to his underarm
00:52Parasite is nearly whole
00:53Three hundred years of waiting are finally over
00:56Soon Lilith will be reborn in her womb
00:59And I can finally give her the perfect, immortal body she deserves
01:03And Lady Selina
01:06She's just the vessel
01:08Lilith saved me
01:09I owe her everything
01:11Once Lilith is born
01:13I'll drain every last drop of ancient blood from Selina's body
01:16And give Lilith true immortality
01:20She's just the vessel
01:23Lilith saved me
01:24I owe her everything
01:25Once Lilith is born, I'll drain every last drop of ancient blood from Selina's body
01:31And give Lilith true immortality
01:33I stood outside Cassius' study
01:35Listening
01:36A chill crept up from my feet
01:38And settled deep in my heart
01:40Strange
01:42Vampires don't feel the cold
01:44Three hundred years of a loving marriage
01:46All of it
01:47An elaborate lie
01:48I thought back to that night
01:50Three hundred years ago
01:51My former fiance
01:52Lilith
01:53Lilith
01:53Betrayed me at all
01:55Revan
01:55Stole the sacred progenitor blood from my veins
01:58And massacred my entire crime
02:00And now
02:01History was repeating itself
02:03I had fallen into a man's trap
02:06Again
02:07Inside the study, the conversation continued
02:12Isn't that a bit cruel, my lord?
02:14After all, she's been the prince's wife for three centuries
02:17That title was always meant for Lilith
02:19I let her enjoy it for three hundred years
02:22Besides, if I hadn't found her
02:24She would have died at Julian's hand anyway, wouldn't she?
02:27What if she finds out?
02:31She won't
02:32She's too in love with me
02:33Even if she suspects something, she won't dare believe it
02:36And now she's addicted to my blood and the elixirs
02:40She can't survive without them
02:43She won't
02:44She's too in love with me
02:46Even if she suspects something, she won't dare believe it
02:49And now she's addicted to my blood and the elixirs
02:53She can't survive without them
02:54I covered my mouth and stumbled back to my room, shaking
02:58My handmaid, Clara
03:00Brought in two goblets
03:02One held Cassius' blood
03:03The other
03:04The special elixir he'd found for me
03:07Said to protect the fetus and help it grow strong
03:11My lady
03:11The prince is so good to you
03:13He specifically told me to watch you drink them every day
03:16Good to me
03:17I touched my swollen belly
03:19And couldn't help but let out a cold laugh
03:21When he first saved me
03:23I had almost no power
03:24More fragile than a human
03:27Cassius fed me so much of his own blood
03:29And even used his precious heart's blood to mend my spirit
03:34Later, when I mourned for my clan
03:36He spared no expense
03:37Building me a perfect replica of the castle I grew up in
03:41He kissed my forehead back then
03:43Whispering softly
03:45I would do anything to see you happy
03:49That was why I fell for him
03:50It's why I was willing to risk everything for him
03:53Even the near impossible danger of a vampire pregnancy
04:00That was why I fell for him
04:02It's why I was willing to risk everything for him
04:05Even the near impossible danger of a vampire pregnancy
04:09But now I see it
04:10It wasn't me he cherished
04:12It was my body
04:13The vessel
04:14Suddenly
04:15All the things that never quite made sense clicked into place
04:19No wonder he was moved to tears when I became pregnant
04:22No wonder this child
04:24Which should have taken two centuries to turn
04:27Was nearly due after only one
04:30I grabbed the goblet of blood
04:31And drained it in one go
04:34As for the oven
04:35I poured it onto the floor
04:38My lady
04:39What are you
04:41Shhh
04:42Trust me
04:44Don't say a word
04:48She looked at the resolve in my eyes
04:50And finally nodded
04:51She was half vampire
04:53Her father was one of my own
04:55Cut down with the rest of my clan
04:57Her loyalty was absolute
04:59My belly clenched again
05:01As the thing inside me moved
05:02More violently this time
05:04As if it were desperate to claw to me out
05:10My belly clenched again
05:11As the thing inside me moved
05:13More violently this time
05:14As if it were desperate to claw its way out
05:19Can't wait to get out
05:21Too bad
05:23Your little plan is about to go up in smoke
05:25I went to my vanity
05:27And pulled an old map from the back of a drawer
05:29I found it
05:30The Sunstone Sanctuary
05:32A forbidden place for our kind
05:34Rumored to be filled with deadly, sacred light
05:37But it was also the only place that could purify a corrupt soul
05:41If I could survive its holy fire
05:43I could kill the parasite in my womb for good
05:46I would rather die than be a pawn in Cassius' game
05:50I stared at my reflection
05:52A fire of vengeance burning in my eyes
05:55I swore an oath
05:56If I survived the holy fire
05:58I would burn the crimson port to ash
06:02And I would make Cassius pay a price he would never forget
06:05For all eternity
06:11And I would make Cassius pay a price he would never forget
06:14For all eternity
06:17Just as I hid the map
06:18A sharp, tearing pain ripped through my abdomen
06:22Something inside me was thrashing wildly
06:27I couldn't let it grow unchecked
06:29I had to suppress it
06:31I desperately called upon what little remained of my ancient bloodline's power
06:35Trying to cage the parasite in my womb
06:37A spray of black blood erupted from my mouth
06:41Splattering across the delicate silver music box on my vanity
06:45It was a gift from Cassius for our hundredth wedding anniversary
06:51I wrote this melody for you
06:53So whenever you hear it
06:54You'll remember the beautiful moment we first met
06:57I had been moved to tears
06:59And I treasured it
07:01How ironic
07:02I reached for the music box
07:04Ready to hurl it into the fireplace
07:07Just as my fingers were about to release it
07:10The door flew open
07:15I reached for the music box
07:17Ready to hurl it into the fireplace
07:20Just as my fingers were about to release it
07:22The door flew open
07:26Selina?
07:27I heard you cry out
07:28What happened?
07:30Cassius rushed in
07:31His eyes immediately locking onto the music box in my hand
07:35His face paled
07:37It's nothing
07:38Just the baby kicking a little hard
07:43You know, I was just thinking
07:44The diamonds on this box are lovely
07:46Why don't we have them reset into a new piece of jewelry?
07:49My tastes have changed a bit since becoming pregnant
07:53No!
07:53I want to save this box for
07:58Save it for who?
08:03For
08:04For our child
08:06It has sentimental value
08:07A lie
08:09That is not what he was about to say
08:11A tide of fury washed over me
08:13And I lost all control
08:14With all my might
08:16I threw the music box toward the fireplace
08:21Cassius screamed
08:22And without a second thought
08:24He plunged his hand into the roaring flames to snatch it back
08:28The fire engulfed his hand
08:30The smell of burning flesh
08:31Filling the air
08:33But he seemed to feel no pain
08:35His only concern to protect the box
08:41But he seemed to feel no pain
08:43His only concern to protect the box
08:46When he pulled it from the fire
08:48One corner was charred
08:50Revealing the inscription inside
08:52To Lilith
08:53My eternal beloved
08:55I laughed
08:56A bitter
08:57Mocking sound
08:58Of course
08:59The music box was never for me
09:01The token of love
09:03I had cherished for 300 years
09:05Was a gift for another woman
09:07Hate and humiliation consumed me
09:09I swept all the jewelry
09:11Cassius had ever given me off the vanity
09:13And onto the floor
09:14This is all for her, isn't it?
09:16I'm just a substitute
09:17A vessel
09:21Selene, what are you doing?
09:22Calm down
09:23He didn't listen
09:24Just kept throwing his soul
09:26Called mementos into the fire
09:29Finally
09:30Cassius' mask of tenderness
09:32Enough!
09:33Keep this up
09:34And I'll throw you in the silver cells myself
09:39Finally
09:40Cassius' mask of tenderness
09:42Enough!
09:43Keep this up
09:44And I'll throw you in the silver cells myself
09:46I froze
09:47The silver cells
09:49Even a prince as powerful as him
09:51Grew weak there
09:52He wanted to lock me
09:54His pregnant wife in that place
09:56Seeing my pale face
09:57Cassius' voice softened again
10:00Selene, listen to me
10:02Stop this foolishness
10:05I'll give you anything you want
10:07New jewelry
10:09My heart burning with pure hatred
10:11He tried to soothe me
10:13But I just closed my eyes
10:14Refusing to look at him
10:16I even knocked the goblet of blood
10:18He offered me from his hand
10:20It splattered all over him
10:22And the last shred of tenderness
10:24Vanished from his face
10:26Fine
10:26Have it your way
10:32Take her away
10:34The silver cells were in the castle's deepest dungeon
10:37Their walls forged from pure silver
10:39For a vampire
10:41It was hell on earth
10:42The heavy silver door slammed shut
10:45And I collapsed onto the freezing floor
10:51The guard was a grim, faced bloodthrob
11:00He looked at me with what might have been pity
11:02My lady
11:02My lady
11:04Why must you provoke the master?
11:07Just then
11:07A wave of powerful evil energy surged from the enemy
11:11To my horror
11:12I saw the guard's normal gaze turn vacant
11:15His lips twisted into a bizarre, cruel smile
11:19And his voice became sharp and grating
11:21Finally
11:22I can finally control things out here
11:25That wasn't the guard's voice
11:29Her soul was already strong enough to possess a human
11:31The bloodthrall's eyes turned vicious
11:34With a wicked grin
11:35He grabbed me and slammed me onto a rack covered in silver spikes
11:39Her soul was already strong enough to possess a human
11:44The bloodthrall's eyes turned vicious
11:47With a wicked grin
11:48He grabbed me and slammed me onto a rack covered in silver spikes
11:52The silver spikes pierced my skin
11:54And agony shone through me
11:56I was pinned to the rack
11:58Unable to me
12:01Ah, what exquisite pain
12:05You know, for the last hundred years
12:07In your womb
12:08I've had to endure every moment
12:10Of you and Cassius' intimacy
12:12Now, it's your turn
12:13To taste a little pain
12:15You, you, Parasite
12:18The brand seared a black mark
12:20Onto my arm
12:21The pain was so intense I nearly blacked out
12:24Parasite
12:25I'm just taking back what's mine
12:27Cassian was always mine
12:30She used the thrall's hands
12:32To pick up a silver dagger
12:33Then slowly carved the word
12:35Whore into the flesh of my other arm
12:37The silver blade
12:39Sizzled against my skin
12:41Look at this beautiful wound
12:43Listen to that lovely scream
12:45And the smell of burning flesh
12:47So delightful
12:49You should feel honored
12:51To give everything for my rebirth
12:55Look at this beautiful wound
12:57Listen to that lovely scream
12:59And the smell of burning flesh
13:02So delightful
13:03You should feel honored
13:05To give everything for my rebirth
13:07The torment was absolute
13:09My heart hammered against my ribs
13:12Threatening to stop at any moment
13:14My vision blackened
13:16My consciousness fading
13:17Just as I was about to pass out
13:19Cassius, in his chambers
13:21Suddenly woke from his sleep
13:23He glanced at the moonlit window
13:26Then at the empty space beside him in the bed
13:29A strange unease washed over him
13:34Go to the silver cells
13:35And check on Salona
13:36I've prepared her favorite ruby necklace
13:38If she's ready to apologize
13:40Let her out
13:42That thrall also secretly
13:43Under Lilith's control
13:45Vowed respectfully
13:46A moment later
13:48He returned
13:49Master
13:50The lady is still throwing attention
13:51She refuses to see you
13:53And said some very unpleasant things
13:56Cassius' face darkened
13:58If she's not sorry
14:00Then let her rot down there
14:02Until she comes to her senses
14:03Meanwhile
14:04In the silver cells
14:05I had completely lost consciousness
14:09Sensing her host's life force fading
14:11Lilith was forced to stop the torture
14:14She needed me alive
14:16At least until the moment of her birth
14:19A warm energy flowed from my womb
14:21Mending my damaged heart
14:23She was feeding her own power back into me
14:26Just enough to keep my heart beating
14:32She needed me alive
14:33At least until the moment of her birth
14:36A warm energy flowed from my womb
14:38Mending my damaged heart
14:40She was feeding her own power back into me
14:44Just enough to keep my heart beating
14:46Pain pulled me back to reality
14:48I opened my eyes to find myself still tied to the rack
14:52My body covered in wounds
14:54Awake?
14:55Good
14:56That was just the appetizer
14:58Now for the main course
15:01A violent slam came from my belly
15:03As if something was trying to tear its way off
15:07Every impact was agony
15:09Feel that, Selina?
15:11It's me
15:11Feel that?
15:12That's for the hundred years you've have restrained and suppressed me
15:16Now I'm going to make you pay back
15:18A hundred times over
15:19For every ounce of Cass' affection you enjoyed
15:21Every kiss
15:22Every sweet word
15:23They were all meant for me
15:24Far away in his chambers
15:26Cassius felt a phantom pain
15:28And shot upright in the mud
15:35Master, what's wrong?
15:39I thought I heard something
15:40Never mind
15:41Probably a nightmare
15:44Selina is stubborn
15:45Maybe then she'll learn not to be so much trouble
15:50But I remained in the silver cells
15:52Enduring inhuman torture
15:54Every second and eternity
16:00But I remained in the silver cells
16:02Enduring inhuman torture
16:04Every second and eternity
16:07Just when I thought I would die there
16:09A familiar figure appeared silently outside the sand
16:12When she saw my broken, bleeding body
16:17She gasped
16:18My lady, what happened?
16:21I couldn't speak
16:22With a trembling finger
16:24I sprawled two words into the dirt on the floor
16:27Potent blood
16:29This is the last of the potent blood
16:36Using my last ounce of strength
16:38I took the vial and drank it all
16:41Powerful energy surged through me
16:43My wounds began to close
16:45My strength returned
16:46It would only last a few hours
16:48But it would be enough
16:50A few hours
16:51Enough to get to the sunstone sanctuary
16:53Enough to kill the disgusting parasite in my womb
17:00Enough to get to the sunstone sanctuary
17:02Enough to kill the disgusting parasite in my womb
17:06With my power surging back
17:08The iron shackles were useless
17:10They snapped in two with a sharp crack
17:13My lady, where are you going?
17:15To the place where this all ends
17:21Clara
17:22If I don't make it back, you must live
17:25Get away from this place
17:26Far away
17:28And with that
17:29I vanished from the silver-laced cell
17:33Master!
17:34Master, something's happened!
17:38Cassius stirred
17:39His face dark
17:45What is all this commotion?
17:47The lady
17:47She's gone
17:48The silver cell is empty
17:49Impossible
17:52Where would she go without me?
17:54In this entire world of our kind
17:56She has nowhere to run
17:57No one to protect her
17:59She's probably just sulking in a corner somewhere
18:04But master, we've looked everywhere
18:05There's not even a trace of her scent
18:07What did you say?
18:12But master, we've looked everywhere
18:14There's not even a trace of her scent
18:16What did you say?
18:17You've looked everywhere?
18:19Looked everywhere?
18:21Yes, from the dungeons to the highest tower
18:23Every single corner
18:27Tear this place apart if you have to
18:30Find her!
18:37Soon, the entire Crimson Court was in an uphole
18:41After a fruitless search
18:43A thought struck Cassius
18:45He strode to a jewelry box
18:46And pulled out a necklace set with a blood-red gem
18:49It was his wedding gift to me
18:51Infused with a drop of his own blood
18:53Allowing him to sense the wearer's location
18:56He clutched the necklace
18:58Closing his eyes to focus
19:00A moment later
19:01They snapped open
19:03His face draining of color
19:04The northwest
19:05She's heading for the hallowed temple
19:09A moment later
19:11They snapped open
19:12His face draining of color
19:14The northwest
19:14She's heading for the hallowed temple
19:17He activated the necklace's link
19:19His voice a low hiss into the gem
19:23Selina
19:24What game are you playing?
19:26Stop this nonsense at once
19:28Come back now
19:30And I will forgive you
19:31I was struggling through a forest of thorns
19:34When the necklace on my chest grew hot
19:35And Cassius' angry voice echoed from it
19:39I stopped
19:40Looking down at the chain
19:42I once thought was a symbol of love
19:44My eyes filled with scorn
19:46Forgive me?
19:49What right did he have
19:51To forgive me?
19:57It glinted once in the moonlight
19:59Then was swallowed by the darkness
20:02Cassius felt the connection
20:03Sever
20:04The color drained from his face
20:09I had already reached the outskirts of the temple
20:12Before me stood a grand, white sanctuary
20:15Glowing with a holy, solemn light under the moon
20:19This was it
20:20The legendary hallowed temple of light
20:27I took a deep breath and took the first step
20:33Instantly
20:34A pillar of searing holy light slammed down from the sky
20:37Striking me
20:39I cried out as fire seared through my body
20:42My skin began to smoke and sizzle
20:45So this was the power of holy light
20:47It was as terrible as they said
20:50But I gritted my teeth
20:51A vampire's healing is strong
20:53And the burns began to mend
20:55No!
20:57You're insane!
20:58You'll kill us both!
21:01Then we'll die together
21:09A second beam of light struck
21:10More powerful than the first
21:12I coughed up blood and fell to my knees
21:15But I could feel the light had also seared the parasite within me
21:18Her soul was weakening under the assault
21:22That's working
21:24I wiped the blood from my lips
21:26Struggling to stand
21:27Just then
21:29A shadow blurred past
21:33That's working
21:34I wiped the blood from my lips
21:36Struggling to stand
21:37Just then
21:39A shadow blurred past
21:40Selena!
21:44The third beam of holy light was gathering in the sky
21:47More terrifying than the last two combined
21:50As it was about to fall
21:51Cassius Dove in front of me
21:53Taking half the blast with his own body
21:57He spat a mouthful of black blood
21:59And crashed to the ground
22:00But the other half still hit me
22:03Already exhausted
22:04I couldn't take any more
22:06I collapsed
22:07An unimaginable pain tore through my abdomen
22:10Like something was ripping me apart from the inside
22:15Selena!
22:18Why would you hurt yourself like this?
22:21Because I'd rather die than be your vessel
22:24Shock and guilt flashed in his eyes
22:27I don't know what you're talking about
22:30I can explain
22:32But before he could touch me
22:35Lilith clawed her way into the world
22:39With the sound of tearing flesh
22:41Lilith emerged from my body
22:43The agony almost made me pass out
22:46As blood poured from the wound
22:48She scrambled toward Cassius
22:50Blind to her own monstrous form
22:52The holy light and premature birth
22:55Had made her a twisted hybrid
22:57Half vampire
22:59Half human
23:00She had a vampire's fangs
23:01But her body was frail and skeletal
23:04A pale wisp of a thing
23:07Cassius
23:08Help me
23:09Horror and disgust ward on Cassius' face
23:12Seeing his reaction
23:14Lilith's pleas became more desperate
23:19Cassius
23:19She tried to kill me
23:21She sobbed
23:22Pointing a bony finger at my dying form
23:26She brought me to this awful place
23:28To burn me with holy light
23:30If you hadn't come
23:32I would have never seen you again
23:35Cassius' expression shifted to one of pity and pain
23:38He turned his fury at me
23:40Selina
23:41For centuries
23:42I have treated you well
23:44All I asked was to use your body to bring Lilith back
23:48How could you be so cruel?
23:52Cruel?
23:53I let out a wretched laugh
23:55My only regret is that I didn't kill her completely!
23:59Silence!
24:00Cassius slapped me across the face
24:02My weakened body flew backward
24:05Slamming into one of the temple's stony pillars
24:08Lilith fanned the flames
24:10Tugging weakly at Cassius' sleeve
24:12Cassius
24:14I feel like I'm fading
24:17I need more power to hold this form
24:20Her greedy eyes landed on me
24:23Her ancient bloodline
24:26If I had it
24:27I could become a true vampire
24:30You promised me
24:32Cassius was silent for a moment
24:34Then gave a slow, deliberate nod
24:36Fine
24:38I will get it for you
24:39He walked toward me
24:41A flicker of conflict in his eyes
24:43That quickly turned to cold murder
24:44Three hundred years
24:46I was good to you
24:48Drawn a shot
24:49A silver blade from his belt
24:52Now
24:52It's time for you to serve your final purpose
24:55I closed my eyes
24:57My heart filled with despair
24:58Was this how it ended?
25:00Killed by the man who betrayed me
25:03He won't let it
25:04He won't die
25:06Stop!
25:08A deep voice
25:09Regnating the power
25:10Cut through the air
25:12In the next instant
25:14Cassius was thrown aside
25:20I opened my eyes to see a tall figure standing over me
25:24He had hair as black as ink and deep violet eyes
25:28Dressed in a dark, noble cloak
25:30He radiated an ancient and immense power
25:34Who are you?
25:36Cassius snarled
25:37Picking himself up
25:38The man ignored him
25:40Turning to look at me
25:42When I saw his face
25:43A strange sense of familiarity washed over me
25:46Don't be afraid
25:48He said gently
25:49You're safe now
25:51He bent down and lifted me into his arms
25:54Don't you dare take her
25:56But the man shot him a single, dismissive glance
26:00With just a look, Cassius
26:02A prince of his own court
26:04Who was frozen in place
26:05Bound by an unseen force
26:08A mere descendant dares to act so brazenly in my presence?
26:12The man's voice carried the weight of ages
26:16Try that again
26:17And I will wipe your crimson court from existence
26:23I don't know how long I was out
26:25When I awoke
26:26I was staring up at a magnificent gothic ceiling
26:29Its black marble columns carved with intricate roses
26:32The entire room hummed with an ancient, mystic energy
26:37To my astonishment
26:39Not only were my wounds healed
26:41But even the gash in my stomach had vanished without a scar
26:44And memories
26:46Long lost memories were flooding my mind
26:48The memories Julian stole when he took my progenitor blood
26:52They were all coming back
26:54The man who saved me was Dorian
26:56A powerful progenitor vampire
26:58It was at my 200th birthday celebration
27:01I had wandered off and stumbled upon his ancient castle
27:05He didn't turn me away
27:07Instead, he welcomed me with a gentle kindness
27:11We spent a blissful time together
27:14I sometimes caught a complex, loving look in his eyes
27:17But I was already engaged
27:19We both understood
27:21And never crossed that line
27:22Before he entered one of his long slumbers
27:25He gave me a drop of his own progenitor blood
27:28As a coming-of-age gift
27:30To protect me, he said
27:33I never imagined that very gift would bring about my woman
27:37You're awake
27:38Holding a crystal goblet filled with blood that smelled intoxicatingly sweet
27:42My own heart's blood
27:43It will help you recover your strength
27:45I took the goblet
27:46My gaze complicated
27:50You...
27:50How did you find me?
27:54He said, without a trace of hesitation
27:56Because I love you
27:59The moment I awoke, I went to find you
28:01I never expected to see
28:04His eyes flashed with a dangerous light
28:06You had a fiancé then
28:07And I was about to fall into slumber
28:10I couldn't give you any promises
28:14But now, Selina
28:15Please give me a chance
28:17Let me take care of you
28:19Dorian
28:20I looked at his handsome
28:21Intense face
28:23Unable to meet the raw emotion in his eyes
28:25Right now, all I want is revenge
28:28Julian stole my bloodline and slaughtered my clan
28:31Cassius used and deceived me for 300 years
28:34I will make them pay
28:36I will help you
28:37He said instantly
28:39Your enemies are my enemies
28:41Over the next seven days
28:43Under Dorian's care
28:44My strength returned with incredible speed
28:47Just as I was preparing to hunt down Julian
28:50An unexpected visitor arrived
28:54Selina, my love
28:55I finally found you
28:58His face a mask of anguish and regret
29:01These past years
29:02I have lived every day in repentance
29:04I've missed you so much
29:06I don't know what came over me back then
29:08To have hurt you so
29:10Please, forgive me
29:12Come back to me
29:13These 300 years without you have been a living hell
29:16If my memories hadn't returned
29:18I might have actually been moved by his performance
29:21But now, I could see right through it
29:23To the greed and calculation in his eyes
29:26His body was rejecting my progenitor blood
29:29He couldn't control his power
29:32That was the only reason he had come looking for me
29:34Julian
29:36I said
29:37Are you done with your act?
29:40You look Mifrin
29:41The pain of my stolen blood
29:44The murder of my entire family
29:46Today
29:47You will pay for it all
29:51Dorian handed me a longsword
29:52Forged of black obsidian
29:54The blade gleamed in the castle's candlelight
29:57It was forged from the bones of an ancient demon
30:00Poison to our kind
30:01Use it
30:02End this
30:04His veneer of remorse shattered
30:08If you won't do this the easy way
30:10Then don't blame me for what comes next
30:15You think a little restored power makes you a match for me?
30:19I am an ancient
30:21Thousands of years old
30:23In a flash
30:24His hand shot through my throat
30:26He sidestepped
30:28The obsidian sword carving a sharp arc through the air
30:31Its tip just grazing his cheek
30:33A thin line of blood appeared
30:35And he screamed in pain
30:39That was just the beginning
30:40He said
30:41Pressing the attack
30:43The agony I felt
30:45When you tore my blood from me
30:48I'm going to return it to you tenfold
30:51Julian dodged clumsily
30:53Horrified to find that despite his superior age
30:56He was losing ground
30:58No
30:59This is impossible
31:05I consumed your progeny blood
31:08My power should be far greater than yours
31:11A shame it never truly belonged
31:12I lunged
31:13Aiming for his heart
31:15It twisted his heart
31:16The blade tore a deep gash in his shoulder
31:20Black, corrupted blood gushed out
31:22At the same time
31:24The blood in my own veins began to stir
31:26He felt something inside him shift
31:28Fighting to escape
31:30No
31:31What are you doing?
31:33He screamed
31:34Looking down at himself and terrified
31:36No
31:37A single, perfect drop of crimson blood seeped from his chest
31:42And flew through the air
31:44Merging back into my body
31:46It was my progenitor blood
31:48Stolen three hundred years ago
31:53Julian let out a soul shattering cry
31:55His body began to convulse
31:58His skin turned in a deathly light
32:01In a stark contrast
32:03An incredible surge of power
32:05Exploded
32:07So this is the true power of a progenitor
32:11Julian, refusing to give up
32:14Lunged one last time
32:16Dorian simply waved a hand
32:18And he was sent flying away
32:20And he was sent flying away
32:21Dorian smirked
32:22You overestimate yourself
32:25Then he looked at me
32:26Savine, allow me to dispose of him for you
32:28You needn't dirty your hands
32:30I didn't have dapject
32:31Julian was dragged away and hurled into the chasm behind the castle
32:35A bottomless, dark abyss
32:38Let him enjoy an eternity of solitude and hunger down there
32:42Julian's screams faded into nothing
32:44Vengeance was mine
32:46But the triumph I'd expected felt hollow
32:50Instead, thinking of my fallen family
32:53A wave of profound grief washed over me
32:56Father, mother, my brothers and sisters
33:00They were never coming back
33:04Selene
33:04Dorian sensed my sorrow
33:06And gently pulled me into his arms
33:08I know
33:09Even revenge can't fill the void of losing the ones you love
33:12They're all gone
33:14All of them
33:15I choked out
33:16The grief I'd suppressed for 300 years
33:19Finally breaking free
33:21I'm the last one
33:23No
33:25You're not alone
33:26From now on
33:27I will always be with you
33:29For a hundred years
33:30A thousand
33:31For all of eternity
33:34I will never leave you
33:35His words were like warmth seeping into a frozen heart
33:39But having been betrayed twice
33:41I couldn't give my trust away so easily
33:43I leaned against him
33:46Lost in thought
33:47This time
33:48Can I believe him?
33:52The next evening
33:53I returned to the ruins of my family's estate
33:56The once-dened grand castle of the Dracal clan
33:59Was now just a pile of rubble
34:01Overgrown with thorns and weeds
34:03I knelt in the center of the ruins
34:05And performed the ancient rite of mourning
34:07I whispered their names
34:08Father
34:09Mother
34:10My kinsmen
34:11I have avenged you
34:12Julian has paid for his crimes
34:15The night wind moaned through the wreckage
34:17As if the souls of my family were answering me
34:20The ritual ended late into the night
34:23I dragged my weary body back to Dorian's castle
34:26But that night
34:27The nightmares returned
34:28In my dreams
34:30I was back in that night of blood
34:31Three hundred years ago
34:33Julian and his army surrounded our home
34:39The sky was red with fire
34:41The ground slick with blood
34:42I watched as a silver dagger pierced my father's chest
34:45As my mother died before my eyes
34:47As my people fell one by one
34:50No, please
34:52Let them go, please
34:54But it was useless
34:55Blood stained everything
34:57My lady
34:58My lady
34:59Wake up
35:01A familiar voice pulled me from the nightmare
35:06Clara?
35:07I shot up
35:08My eyes flying open
35:09How are you here?
35:13A familiar voice pulled me from the nightmare
35:19Clara?
35:19I shot up
35:21My eyes flying open
35:22How are you here?
35:24Clara was looking at me with concern
35:25I managed to escape
35:26Her eyes red Zen rim
35:28I've been looking for you for so long
35:30I studied her
35:31But something felt wrong
35:33Clara
35:33I said
35:34Testing her
35:35Did you happen to bring my favorite emerald ring with you?
35:37A flicker of panic crossed Clara's face
35:40My lady
35:40I
35:40I left in such a hurry
35:42I forgot it
35:43I'm so sorry
35:44My hand moved stealthily toward the nightstand
35:47Where a glass of silver Zen laced water sat
35:50I see
35:50I said
35:52Nodding calmly
35:53Come here Clara
35:54Let me see if you were hurt
35:57Clara approached without suspicion
35:59I snatched the glass and threw the water in her face
36:02The moment the silver hit
36:04Clara shrieked
36:05How could you know?
36:08You wretched thing!
36:09When the transformation was complete
36:11It wasn't Clara standing before me
36:14But the snarling face of Lilith
36:16Because I've never owned an emerald ring
36:20Clara was with me for centuries
36:22She would have known that
36:27So clever
36:28Lilith cackled maniacally
36:30Too bad your loyal little servant is already dead
36:33What did you say?
36:34My mind went blank
36:36Lilith's smile grew more twisted
36:38That traitor?
36:39I tortured her to death in the silver cells for letting you escape
36:42She was still whispering about protecting you right before she died
36:46Pathetic!
36:47Clara
36:47The last of my people
36:49Dead
36:49Because she tried to save me
36:51Rage and grief erupted inside me like a volcano
36:54I lunged forward and wrapped my hands around Lilith's throat
36:58For the pain you caused me in that dungeon
37:00And for Clara's life
37:01You will repay every drop of pain
37:04And Clara's life
37:05In blood
37:09My fingers tightened
37:10Lilith's face began to turn purple
37:13She clawed at my wrists
37:15But my grip was like iron
37:17Whoa, wait!
37:19She choked out
37:21You hurt me
37:22And Cassius will never forgive you
37:25I laughed
37:26A cold, sharp sound
37:31Cassius?
37:32Right now, I have more than enough power to kill you both!
37:35After the morning ritual
37:36The souls of my ancestors had found peace
37:39And their remaining power had flowed into me
37:42The pure blood of the Dracal clan coursed through my veins
37:45Stronger than it had been 300 years ago
37:48Just as I was about to snap her neck, the door burst open
37:51Selina, I'm begging you, stop
37:52Don't hurt her
37:53I've made her my adoptive sister
37:55What happened before, can't we just put it behind us?
37:57You're the only one I want as my princess
37:59I slept back, watching the scene with cold amusement
38:02Adoptive sister?
38:04You finally have your precious love back and you won't make her your mate?
38:09Cassius flinched
38:10It's not like that
38:10She and I are not
38:12Seeing his discomfort
38:14I understood
38:15He couldn't accept Lilith's new, monstrous form
38:18He wasn't going to keep his promise
38:20As cold-blooded as ever
38:22No wonder Lilith had been desperate enough to come after me
38:25If you truly want my forgiveness
38:28Then you can suffer every torture from the Silver Cells
38:31Just as I did
38:33Then I'll consider it
38:35The Silver Cells?
38:37Confusion clouded Cassius' eyes
38:39Torture?
38:40Selina, what are you talking about?
38:43His gaze shifted to Lilith
38:45Who went pale
38:46Her eyes darting around nervously
38:48Lilith
38:49Tell me
38:50Is what Selene said true?
38:58I, I was only
38:59Lilith stammered
39:01Unable to form a sentence
39:04Cassius didn't give her the chance
39:05He placed his hands on her temples
39:07His eyes glowing with an eerie red light
39:10He was reading her memories
39:11Lilith screamed in agony
39:13As the spell took hold
39:14Cassius' face grew deathly white
39:17I knew what he was seeing
39:18Silver daggers carving humiliating words into my skin
39:22Hot iron branding my flesh
39:24My own cries of pain and despair
39:28No
39:28Cassius' hands began to shake
39:30No
39:31This isn't real
39:33It can't be
39:34When the spell ended
39:36Selina
39:37I didn't know
39:38I truly didn't know
39:40I'm so sorry
39:42I thought it was just simple confinement
39:44I never meant for you to be tortured like that
39:46He didn't know?
39:47I looked at him with utter indifference
39:49Then slowly pushed up my sleeve
39:51Revealing the scars that would never fully heal
39:53You see these?
39:54Do you still think you can be forgiven?
39:56I started toward Lilith again
39:59Cassius still blocked my path
40:00He opened his mouth
40:02But no words came out
40:03Don't kill her!
40:04He pulled an ancient looking cross from his coat
40:08She saved my life once
40:10She's the reason I'm alive
40:13If you want revenge
40:14I will die in her place
40:16The moment I saw the cross
40:17My heart skipped a beat
40:19The design was so familiar
40:20Just then
40:22The sound of slow clapping came from the doorway
40:24What a performance
40:27Cassius
40:27You truly are a fool
40:29That cross belongs to Selina's family
40:34Dorian's words fell into a dead silence
40:37What?
40:39That's impossible
40:41Lilith gave this to me
40:44Idiot
40:45Dorian strode over
40:46And snatched the cross
40:47Look closely
40:48You can see the faint initials engraved here
40:51SD
40:51This is the sacred heirloom of her house
40:53Passed down through generations
40:55As he spoke
40:56A long buried memory surfaced in my mind
40:59A rainy night
41:00Over four hundred years ago
41:02I was wandering in the forest
41:04And found a young vampire
41:05Torn apart by werewolves
41:07And clinging to life
41:08I took pity on him
41:09And carried him to a small cabin
41:11Using all my precious herbs to heal him
41:13It took over three months of constant care
41:16To pull him back from the brink of death
41:18One day
41:19I returned from gathering supplies
41:21To find he was gone
41:22The family cross I had placed on his chest
41:25For protection was gone too
41:26I assumed he had simply left after recovering
41:29I was a little sad
41:30But I didn't think much of it
41:32Over the years
41:33The memory had faded completely
41:35Until now
41:36It was you
41:37You were the one attacked by werewolves
41:40That cabin
41:42The girl who took care of me
41:44That was you?
41:46No, it was me
41:48I saved you
41:49She did nothing
41:54But her lies were pathetic
41:56In the face of the truth
41:57I took the cross back from Dorian
41:59My gaze fixed on them
42:01Found Callius unconscious
42:02Took him while I was away
42:03Stole my family heirloom
42:05And passed yourself off as his savior?
42:08Lewis had no more lies to tell
42:10I... I...
42:11Cassius just stood there
42:12A storm of shock, regret
42:14And a strange, wild joy
42:17Warring on his face
42:18Four hundred years
42:20I've been thanking the wrong person
42:22For four hundred years
42:23You damned liar
42:25You made me misunderstand her
42:27For centuries
42:29No, Cassius
42:30Let me explain
42:31I love you
42:33Everything I did was for...
42:34Enough
42:35Cassius was in front of her in the instant
42:37Because of you
42:38I hurt my true savior
42:40This is all your fault
42:42With a sickening snap
42:43He broke her neck
42:44Her body went limp
42:46And fell to the floor
42:47Her eyes wide with disbelief
42:49She never imagined
42:51Cassius could be so ruthless
42:52After dealing with Lilith
42:54Cassius turned to me
42:55Tears streamed down his face
42:58Selina
42:59My savior
43:00I finally found you
43:02Please
43:03Forgive me for everything
43:05Come home with me
43:07I'll spend the rest of my existence
43:09Making it up to you
43:10His belated devotion
43:12Meant nothing to me
43:13It was too late
43:15The three hundred years
43:17Of imprisonment
43:17Using our child
43:18As a vessel for Lilith
43:20Clara's death
43:20None of it could be undone
43:22I turned to leave
43:24Needing to be alone
43:26Look out!
43:27I spun around
43:28Just in time
43:29To see a mangled figure lunge
43:30From the shadows behind me
43:32It was Julian
43:33He had somehow clawed
43:34His way out of the abyss
43:35A demonic revenant
43:37With long claws
43:38Aimed straight for my heart
43:39If I'm going down
43:41I'm taking you
43:42With me!
43:44In that split second
43:45A familiar body
43:47Moved to shield me
43:48A wet
43:48Tearing sound
43:49Filled the air
43:50As Julian's hand
43:51Punged deep
43:52Into Dorian's chest
43:53Looking into his deep
43:55Devoted eyes
43:56As he stumbled
43:57I held him
43:58When my own tears
43:59Finally began to fall
44:01Idiot
44:01His face went pale
44:03But he still gave me
44:04A reassuring smile
44:08A progenitor's healing
44:10Is formidable
44:10Dorian's wound
44:11Was not fatal
44:12But my heart
44:13Was in turmoil
44:15Why?
44:16You could have
44:17Dodged that
44:21Because I promised
44:23I would protect you
44:25Julian roared
44:27In frustration
44:27You think it's over?
44:31I'm not dead yet!
44:33He charged us again
44:34This time
44:34I didn't move
44:36I held out
44:37My right hand
44:37And a deep
44:38Crimson light
44:39Gathered in my palm
44:40It was the oldest
44:41Most powerful ability
44:43Of the Dracula bloodline
44:44Strong enough
44:45To unmake
44:45An ancient vampire
44:46Julian's power
44:47Was a flickering candle
44:49Against my inferno
44:50I didn't kill him quickly
44:51I stripped his power away
44:53Piece by piece
44:54Letting him feel
44:54True despair
44:55Mighty Julian
44:56Shriveled into a
44:57Common bat
44:58Trembling on the floor
44:59You will live out
45:01The rest of your days
45:02In this form
45:03And you will never forget
45:05The lesson you learnt today
45:06With Julian's final defeat
45:08The weight
45:09On my soul
45:10Finally lifted
45:11The pain of centuries
45:12Receded like a tide
45:14Replaced by a profound
45:15Sense of peace
45:16My power settled
45:17Stronger
45:18And purer
45:19Than ever before
45:19Cassius looked at me
45:21With an even deeper obsession
45:22Reaching out to touch
45:24Go Cassius
45:25Let's pretend
45:26I never saved you
45:27And never disturb
45:28My life again
45:29I stepped away
45:30Ignoring his ashen face
45:31I turned
45:32And helped Dorian away
45:35Months later
45:36Dorian was fully healed
45:38During his recovery
45:39He had been shamelessly direct
45:41With his affections
45:42I'd gone from blushing
45:44To being completely
45:45Used to it
45:46This morning
45:47He presented me
45:48With another bouquet
45:49Of roses
45:50Selina
45:51Will you accept
45:52My love today?
45:53He asked with a smile
45:56I will
46:01I will
46:03That's alright
46:04I'll just ask again
46:05Tomorrow
46:05Dorian's hopeful smile
46:07Faulted
46:07Then erupted
46:09Into pure joy
46:10Are you serious?
46:11You said yes?
46:12I couldn't help
46:13But laugh at his
46:14Rare loss of composure
46:16You heard me correctly
46:18I will make you happy
46:19Dorian said
46:20Pulling me
46:21Into a fierce embrace
46:24I'll guard you
46:25With my life
46:26The news spread
46:27Like wildfire
46:28The progenitor
46:29Dorian was to take
46:30Selene
46:31The dracal princess
46:32As his mate
46:33Clan leaders
46:34From all corners
46:34Of the world
46:35Came to witness
46:36The unprecedented ceremony
46:37The ancient castle
46:39Was decorated in splendor
46:40More magnificent
46:41Than it had been
46:42In centuries
46:45Today
46:46I declare
46:47In my name
46:47As progenitor
46:48That Selene
46:49Will be my mate
46:50My equal
46:51In status
46:52And power
46:53He bit his own wrist
46:54And in front of everyone
46:55Made a blood oath
46:56If I ever betray this vow
46:57May I walk into the sun
46:59And be consumed
47:00By holy fire
47:01The oath sent a shockwave
47:03Through the vampire world
47:04A progenitor
47:05Willing to stake
47:06His very existence
47:07On a promise
47:08Such devotion
47:09Was unheard of
47:10In the distance
47:11Cassius watched us
47:13His gaze vacant
47:14And broken
47:15His body was covered
47:16In fresh scars
47:17From silver burns
47:18He had foolishly believed
47:20That by punishing himself
47:21He could earn my forgiveness
47:22One day
47:23Instead
47:24He got an invitation
47:25To our wedding
47:26I ignored his shattered expression
47:28And confidently took Dorian's hand
47:30How does it feel?
47:32I smiled
47:33It feels strange
47:34And it feels wonderful
47:36We stood together
47:37Looking out over the domain
47:39That was now ours
47:40With Dorian by my side
47:41I looked toward a new dawn
47:43Ready to embrace a future
47:45I would build with my own hands
47:46Now a new one
47:48One of love and empire
47:50Was just beginning
47:51To be continued
47:52To be continued
47:54To be continued
