Short filmTranscript
00:02I can smell souls, the good smells sweet, the evil smells rotten, yet Alaric, the bloodthirsty wolf king, is a
00:10mystery.
00:11To me, he smells only of bitter sorrow, so I hid a piece of cake for him. I stuffed them
00:16into his large hands.
00:19The last person who gave me candy wanted me dead. What about you?
00:23I want you to be sweet. I want you to live a long, long life.
00:27I did not know then that bitterness meant pain. All I knew was that my world was built on scents.
00:33I am the only daughter of a high-ranking beta family. Father said this gift brought great danger.
00:38He rarely let me go out, so I was happy to see the world beyond our home.
00:44Today was like any other day, yet it felt different.
00:47Today is the great moon festival, longevity festival, of wolf king Alaric.
00:52I heard people whispering in the banquet hall. They said Alaric was a cruel and evil monster.
00:56I wanted to test my thought. While everyone cowered with their heads down, afraid to look at wolf king Alaric,
01:02I thought to lift my nose and sniffle. But my gaze met his through the silent crowd.
01:08It was completely unexpected. He did not smell foul nor rotten.
01:12Forgive her. She is simple-minded and knows no manners.
01:16Let her lift her head.
01:18Alaric's cold voice echoed through the hall.
01:22I want to look at her.
01:24Father had told me never to look directly at the wolf king, but I did not understand why he was
01:29afraid.
01:30I believe beautiful things should be admired, just like all kinds of flowers in a sunlit garden.
01:35I wanted to stare at him every day.
01:38Alaric walked over to father and me. He lifted my chin and looked at me carefully.
01:42Alaric did not blame me, nor did he blame father.
01:45I could smell no foulness from him, nor any sweetness. For a wolf king, that was strange.
01:51She is simple-minded. I beg you, wolf king, to forgive her.
01:57You ought to go find your mom.
01:59The royal garden was much larger than our home garden.
02:02There were also huge green plants, perfect for hide and seek.
02:05While mother chatted with the other noble ladies, I hid beside the huge green plants with my cake.
02:10I don't know if I was too good at hiding, or if mother was too clumsy.
02:13She could not find me for a long time, but I saw Alaric.
02:16He stood beside a tall green plant.
02:20Pale moonlight fell on him. He looked like the moon god from a painting.
02:24I will give you anything you want.
02:27Oh?
02:28What do I want?
02:31If the wolf king marries me, he will gain the support of my clan.
02:36Liar.
02:36But I did not control my volume, and both Alaric and the woman turned toward where I hid.
02:45Alaric was smarter than mother.
02:46He spotted me right away, and stood outside the plants where I hid.
02:49Alaric! How did you know I was hiding here?
02:52Only when I came closer did I smell his scent.
02:54Not foul, not sweet, just a faint bitterness.
02:57Alaric walked up to me and studied me for a moment.
03:00You are Arthur's daughter, Lana?
03:01I nodded, still staring up at him.
03:04Why did he smell bitter?
03:07Alaric, have you ever eaten cake?
03:09He seemed surprised by my question and froze for a moment.
03:12When he did not answer, I blinked again.
03:15Why do you ask?
03:17Because he smelled bitter as if he had never tasted sugar.
03:21I could not tell others about my ability to smell souls.
03:25This cake is very sweet.
03:27I just had some.
03:29I hoped it would make him less bitter.
03:31He looked down at the cake and laughed softly.
03:36Lana, you are quite brave.
03:40Thank you for the compliment, Alec.
03:43Someone once gave me cake, but she wanted me dead.
03:47What about you?
03:47I lifted my head sharply and met his icy eyes.
03:51I want Alaric to be sweet and live a long, long life.
03:56Lana!
03:58After a few steps, I remembered I had not finished speaking.
04:02That lady was lying to you.
04:03Don't believe her.
04:04After the banquet, Father and I were stopped by Alaric's guards and brought before him.
04:08How did you know she was lying to me?
04:13Sweetheart.
04:14Did you eat the cake?
04:15He stood up and walked closer.
04:17The bitterness grew even stronger.
04:20He looked at me very strangely.
04:22I heard you are quite different.
04:24Yet your mind is slow.
04:27I am getting smarter every day.
04:29The father walked up to the male lead and knelt down on one knee.
04:33Alaric.
04:33I beg you to punish me instead of my daughter.
04:37Have mercy on her.
04:38Father, what are you saying?
04:40Your father loves you deeply.
04:42He is the best father ever.
04:45Lana.
04:47You are so lucky.
04:49I never had a father.
04:51His scent turned very bitter now.
04:53My father can be yours too.
04:56His dark eyes pulled me in.
04:57Really allowed?
04:59Yes, it is.
05:01I am pleased with your gift.
05:04The pearl is a rare treasure.
05:07Father, I don't mean the pearl.
05:08I mean your precious.
05:10Father trembled and looked at me.
05:12He bowed his head in fear.
05:13She is a child.
05:14Please forgive her.
05:17Your daughter is actually quite smart.
05:20He finally called me smart.
05:21He must be a good wolf.
05:22I will heal his bitter soul.
05:24He gently stroked my hair.
05:28Lana wants us to share you.
05:31I deserve death.
05:33Please forgive her.
05:35Father, did I do something wrong?
05:37I tried to comfort his pain.
05:39Father pulled me down to kneel.
05:41It is my fault.
05:43Spare her.
05:44Alaric helped me stand back.
05:45I like her pure heart.
05:47She deserves a grand reward.
05:48Father collapsed in total despair.
05:50I seem to have made a mistake again.
05:52Father stayed awake all night long.
05:55Mother held me with red, crying eyes.
05:58I cried in Mother's warm arms.
06:03I kept my secret from Alaric.
06:05The Alpha King said he would reward us.
06:08I know.
06:08Mother held me even tighter then.
06:10It is our fault.
06:10I do not know why they are wrong.
06:12Until early the next morning,
06:13several palace attendants arrived.
06:15Alaric kept his word to me.
06:17Luna, three days until you enter.
06:19I looked up and blinked at him.
06:22I am Lana, not Luna.
06:24The Alpha King named you Luna.
06:26Then the crowd of people left us.
06:28Mother looked at those jewels crying.
06:33What is Luna?
06:36It means you are the king's wife.
06:39Like my father and my mother.
06:41Dot thought for a moment and nodded.
06:43Then why are they crying so much?
06:44I wiped the tears from Mother's face.
06:46I want to be Alaric's Luna.
06:48Mother only cried harder now.
06:51It means you are the king's wife.
06:55Like my father and my mother.
06:57Dot thought for a moment and nodded.
06:58Then why are they crying so much?
07:00I wiped the tears from Mother's face.
07:01I want to be Alaric's Luna.
07:04Mother only cried even harder now.
07:06Pack servants came to our house.
07:08They taught me many pack rules.
07:10The rules were very hard to learn.
07:12I only learned a few of them.
07:14One elder stared at me for long.
07:16Her face turned red and then white.
07:19What is the bedchamber business?
07:21She bit her lip and whispered softly.
07:24Always obey the king in bed.
07:27What about the rest of the time?
07:30Obey him at all times too.
07:31That business does not sound so special.
07:34On the day I entered the palace, my parents cried.
07:37I also started to cry along with them.
07:39Alaric arrived while I was still sniffling.
07:41He walked up and asked me quietly.
07:43Are you so afraid to be my Luna?
07:45I looked up at him with red eyes.
07:47His bright yellow robes made him look like jade.
07:50Alaric, I am just so hungry.
07:53This was the absolute truth.
07:55Alaric did not expect this and laughed.
07:56Go and find some food for her.
07:58Make sure it is something sweet.
08:03Felix bowed and hurried out the door.
08:05Soon several plates of snacks were brought in.
08:07My eyes lit up at the sight of them.
08:10Alaric sat down right beside me.
08:12Are you not afraid of the Alpha King?
08:13I shook my head while chewing.
08:15He does not smell bad at all.
08:17Beneath the bitterness is a faint fragrance.
08:19It smells very wonderful to me.
08:21But everyone else is terrified of me.
08:23Then they must be the bad ones.
08:26Alaric, you should eat some too.
08:29This one is the sweetest of all.
08:32A light flashed in his dark eyes.
08:34He slowly took a bite of the cake.
08:36Felix stared with his eyes wide open.
08:38Is it sweet?
08:39I asked for credit.
08:39Yes, it is sweet.
08:41He smirked.
08:42I stuffed the rest into his mouth.
08:43I leaned in and took a deep breath.
08:45The bitterness seemed a bit lighter now, but it was only a tiny change.
08:48The scent stayed the same after that.
08:50Finally, he sighed and looked at me.
08:52Lana, he said with a helpless tone.
08:54I was confused.
08:55Throw them away.
08:55Do not stuff me.
08:58Take these away.
08:59He ordered coldly, but I was not even full yet.
09:02I quickly grabbed two more snacks.
09:04Alaric pinched my chubby, full cheek.
09:07Did Arthur starve you at home?
09:09No, he certainly did not.
09:11I overate and got indigestion.
09:13I really didn't eat that much.
09:15Alaric stood up at my third hiccup.
09:17The elder said my family shares my fate.
09:19If I fail, my parents will suffer.
09:21I covered my mouth to stop the hiccups.
09:24Walk with me.
09:25I ate too much too.
09:27Okay.
09:29I stood up immediately.
09:31Alaric pressed his lips and walked out.
09:33I followed him while covering my mouth.
09:35I looked at my feet and missed his stop.
09:37I crashed right into his back.
09:40I fell back, but he caught my waist, his bitter scent mixed with sweet incense.
09:45It smelled so wonderful and calming.
09:47He frowned.
09:48Then I smelled something foul.
09:49I pulled him behind a large rock.
09:52Shh.
09:52I covered his lips with my hand.
09:54Footsteps came closer and closer to us.
09:56It was that lady from the garden.
09:58She wore rich silk and had many servants.
10:00The alpha king is with Luna?
10:01Yes, my lady.
10:03The maid bowed low.
10:04I have been here two days unseen.
10:07That fool gets favored on day one?
10:10She snapped a peach branch in anger.
10:14Her family is the high beta and...
10:16Only my clan can truly help him.
10:18My lady, please watch your word.
10:20I did not understand their complex talk.
10:22They mentioned my family.
10:23I looked at Alaric after they left.
10:24Felix looked pale like the sky was falling.
10:27I made a big mistake again today.
10:28Alaric, please punish me, not my father.
10:33I will not punish you, Lana.
10:35He smiled and fixed my hair.
10:36But how did you know Cynthia was there?
10:38And why is she a bad person?
10:40I blinked my eyes at his question.
10:41Well?
10:42He trapped me against the roof.
10:43I am sleepy!
10:44Time for bed now!
10:47Lana is asleep.
10:49She knows nothing.
10:50Alaric let out a soft, amused laugh.
10:53I peeked out with just my eyes.
10:55The candlelight made his shadow long.
11:01You sleep before serving your king?
11:03Serving?
11:03The elder told me about that.
11:05I was scared to sleep alone tonight.
11:06But I am not scared with Alaric.
11:08I am brave enough to serve you.
11:10I moved over to make some room.
11:12Do you even know what serving means?
11:15Of course, I know what it means.
11:17Don't look down on me like that.
11:19Alaric asked when I stayed still.
11:21Do you really know what serving means?
11:22I blinked my eyes at him.
11:24Is this not serving right now?
11:25He laughed softly again.
11:26The pleasant scent of incense spread.
11:28He did not smell so bitter anymore.
11:30Go to sleep.
11:31He said quietly.
11:32Go to sleep.
11:33I nodded and closed my eyes.
11:34Then I opened them again.
11:37Can I move now?
11:39I cannot sleep if I stay still.
11:41You can.
11:42He said with a smile.
11:43I felt relieved and turned toward him.
11:46His nose was high and he was smiling.
11:48He was truly handsome.
11:50Alaric?
11:50I called him again.
11:51He just made a soft sound and replied.
11:53Um, what is your name?
11:55I looked up at the dark canopy.
11:56Everyone calls you Alaric.
11:58I think that is not your name.
11:59Like everyone calls my father Arthur.
12:01Alaric opened his eyes.
12:03We stared at the dark canopy together.
12:05A strong, bitter scent came forward.
12:07I turned my head to look at him.
12:09Alaric?
12:10What?
12:11I did not hear clearly.
12:12I did not know many words yet.
12:14I did not know how to write it, but I nodded like a grown-up.
12:17I patted Alaric on the shoulder.
12:19Alaric froze for a moment.
12:20I will find you a teacher tomorrow.
12:23What?
12:23Why do I have to study?
12:27He found a female teacher for me.
12:29Then a servant said Cynthia had arrived.
12:31The teacher bowed and left quickly.
12:33Her sweet scent left with her.
12:35A foul smell took its place.
12:36Cynthia walked in with many people.
12:39Dot told me Cynthia was a general's daughter.
12:41The Alpha King married with her too.
12:43Why can Alaric have two wives?
12:45I came to sit with you, sister.
12:47You won't mind me, will you?
12:48The bad smell hit my nose.
12:50I stood up to leave immediately.
12:52Cynthia grabbed my hand before I could go.
12:54How dare you ignore me?
12:55Please let me go.
12:56Who do you think you are, Alana?
12:59Do not think the king loves you.
13:01He is only using your father.
13:03He will kill you both later.
13:06She let go because of his pain.
13:08Do not speak L of Alaric.
13:10He won't kill us.
13:11You dare to bite me?
13:12She was angry and tried to slap me.
13:14I ducked and ran to the door.
13:15You hurt me first.
13:16You deserved it.
13:18I stuck out my tongue and turned to run.
13:20I crashed right into Alaric.
13:23I did not know when he arrived.
13:25Cynthia's smell was too strong.
13:26It covered Alaric's bitter scent.
13:28You are very clever, Cynthia.
13:31You planned my future for me.
13:33Alaric held me in his arms.
13:35He looked at Cynthia with a cold smile.
13:37Cynthia turned pale and knelt down.
13:39I did not mean that, my king.
13:41She looked up with crying eyes.
13:45But you never come to see me.
13:47Alaric ignored her and led me inside.
13:49I held my nose as we passed her.
13:50What is wrong?
13:54What I did?
13:56She smells a bit bad, I replied.
13:58Cynthia's face turned even whiter.
14:00Alaric laughed like it was a joke.
14:01Now you know why I don't visit.
14:03Cynthia left stumbling.
14:05Alaric let go of me after she left.
14:07You're smart.
14:08She'll wash for days.
14:09I wasn't happy because of his praise.
14:11Alaric, why do you have two wives?
14:15How many should I have, Lana?
14:17I liked him very much.
14:18I liked his face, voice, and scent.
14:21That's why I agreed to be his Luna.
14:24Only one.
14:25Father only has mother.
14:27Why have two?
14:30I'm different from your father.
14:33Why are you different?
14:34I didn't understand.
14:36He held my waist and sat on the couch.
14:39I'm the Alpha King.
14:40I'm different from everyone.
14:43Isn't the king the most powerful?
14:46Can't you do whatever you want?
14:48He let out a long sigh.
14:51Alaric, are you unhappy?
14:57Cynthia said I'm using your father.
14:59Not mad?
15:00I said my father is your father now.
15:03Helping you isn't using.
15:05He'd want to.
15:06You're good.
15:08You won't kill us.
15:09You're the first to call me good.
15:11He touched my hair and spoke softly.
15:16I patted his back gently.
15:18That's because they can't smell you.
15:23Okay.
15:24The bitterness faded more.
15:25I let go and felt satisfied.
15:27Can the Alpha King really only have one wife?
15:32Not for now.
15:33I heard Cynthia washed for four hours that day.
15:36She bought perfumes and washed three times daily.
15:39My lady is truly a silent wonder.
15:41I just heard that phrase from my teacher.
15:44But you have been snouking with the Alpha King.
15:46What if the king loses his patience?
15:48Alaric sent rare toys, but I refused them.
15:51I lay on the bed and covered my head.
15:54Then I just won't be as Luna anyway.
15:57Maybe there will be other ladies later.
16:04Maybe I was too angry.
16:05I had nightmares.
16:06I woke up feeling very scared.
16:08I held my pillow but couldn't find Dot.
16:12I ran to Alaric's palace.
16:15His palace was close and Felix met me.
16:17The hall was dark.
16:17Alaric was asleep.
16:19Luna, why are you here?
16:22I want to serve.
16:23I held my pillow and tried to enter.
16:25The king must call for you, lady.
16:28Felix blocked me, looking very troubled.
16:31But I'm scared to sleep alone.
16:33A foul smell drifted from the hall.
16:35I woke up and pushed Felix aside.
16:37Alaric, there is a bad person!
16:39A man by the bed raised a sword.
16:41He tried to stab toward the bed.
16:43Alaric!
16:44I managed to throw my pillow.
16:45It hit him but didn't stop him.
16:46A needle prick hurt when I sewed.
16:48A sword must hurt so much more.
16:50The man cursed and looked at me.
16:52He pulled the sword and stabbed me.
16:53I backed away and tripped on the floor.
16:55A shadow rushed over and caught me.
16:57He covered my eyes and threw a knife.
16:59I heard a groan as he fell.
17:01Drag him away.
17:02I pulled his hand away and looked.
17:03It was Alaric's handsome face.
17:06Felix stood nearby and bowed low.
17:08The Luna said she wants to serve.
17:09Alaric raised his eyebrows at me.
17:10Not angry anymore?
17:12I checked him over without a word.
17:13He seemed startled and wiped my tears.
17:16Were you frightened?
17:17Would you be safe if I stayed?
17:19Felix left and closed the door.
17:21Lana, now I know the world isn't evil.
17:25What are evil?
17:26He let out a soft laugh.
17:28You only need to know you're special.
17:30Can I be your only wife?
17:33Not for now.
17:35Big villain!
17:37Alaric is a bit busy.
17:38I am very busy too.
17:40I learn to read and write every day.
17:42Doctors surround me with needles and medicine.
17:44Maybe I drank too much medicine lately.
17:46I can't smell Alaric's bitterness much now.
17:49Dot, smell me.
17:51Am I bitter too?
17:52I frowned at the bowl of medicine.
17:54Dot thought I just hated the medicine.
17:56The Alpha King does this for your good.
17:59Is it not easier to memorize lessons now?
18:01It was true.
18:02This medicine was to fix my slow mind.
18:05The doctor said what my father said.
18:07Birth was hard and I stayed home too long.
18:09My mind stayed closed and my brain cloudy.
18:12No one wants to be a fool forever.
18:14I held my nose and drank the bowl.
18:16I just put a candied fruit in my mouth.
18:18A servant hurried inside to see me.
18:20Elaner left the temple yesterday, Luna.
18:22She wants you to visit her palace.
18:23Then these are dark days.
18:23You know what you know, honey?
