Short filmTranscript
00:00The Serpent King came to the Lamians to breed heirs.
00:04Over a hundred of my sisters fought to be chosen.
00:07But I wanted to run away, because in my past life,
00:11he crushed my eggs, one by one, through my belly.
00:15He branded my forehead with one word, Slave.
00:20He forced me to kneel and watch as he took other serpent women,
00:24then forced me to nurse their offspring.
00:26So this time, I refused the Serpent King.
00:30A violent dizziness hit.
00:32I opened my eyes.
00:33The Palace Hall.
00:35And him, standing at the center of the Palace Hall.
00:39I, Darion, King of Serpents,
00:42offer 88 chests of treasure to take a Lamia princess as my queen.
00:46Your Majesty, I sing, I dance.
00:48I am flawless, make me your queen.
00:51My waist is slender, my hips wide.
00:53I will bear you heirs, eight in one berth.
00:55They practically offered themselves to his bed.
00:58Darion was beautiful, yes.
01:01But beneath that face was a monster.
01:04I lowered myself, ready to slip away.
01:06Serena!
01:13The new Serpent King stands before you.
01:16Come greet him.
01:17I had no choice but step forward.
01:19My daughter Serena is shy, but she is the rarest of our kind.
01:23A womb blessed beyond measure.
01:24If she becomes queen, she will fill your kingdom with heirs.
01:28Father, I am too young to marry.
01:30My sister is just as capable, and of proper age.
01:35My father's expression darkened.
01:37She was born of a discarded queen.
01:39He would never choose her over me.
01:41But I would rather tear Darion apart than become his queen again.
01:46Your Majesty, which one do you choose?
01:50He hated me, and I had just rejected him.
01:54But instead, he walked straight toward me.
01:57Serena will be my queen.
02:01Your Majesty honors me.
02:03I'm grateful.
02:04But I've already pledged myself to another, and I will soon ask my father to grant us marriage.
02:09The hall erupted in whispers and shock.
02:13My daughter is impulsive.
02:15Please don't take it to heart.
02:16Perhaps your Majesty would consider another...
02:18No.
02:19If your Majesty does not mind, you may stay here for a few days.
02:23If anyone catches your tentrist, I will arrange the marriage immediately.
02:27I was confined to my residence until he chose his queen.
02:31But I hadn't expected him to move in next door.
02:34I could feel that cold gaze following me at all times.
02:38To make my lie convincing, I sent a servant to fetch a male prostitute.
02:43I lounged on the couch while a beautiful courtesan fed me grapes and massaged my shoulders.
02:48That gaze grew heavier, darker, almost suffocating.
02:53So I pushed further.
02:55I took the prostitute's hand and led him into my chamber.
02:59Just as I reached to extinguish the candle, the door was kicked open.
03:10What do you think you're doing?
03:11Breaking into my chamber in the middle of the night and hurting my people.
03:15Do you think my house is yours to trample?
03:18So this is how easily you give yourself away?
03:22And what right do you have to judge me?
03:24Already have someone.
03:25If you're jealous, go find your own.
03:27Don't barge in here and act like you own me.
03:46Why him and not me?
03:50Have you lost your mind?
03:52Let go of me.
03:53Serena.
03:56Try me.
03:58I'll make you forget him.
04:01Are you insane?
04:10I shut my eyes, ready to bite my own tongue.
04:14Darien was ripped off me.
04:16I gave you leave to choose a bride from my people.
04:18That does not give you the right to force my daughter.
04:21Try this again and I will tear apart this alliance.
04:24My apologies.
04:29Serena.
04:31This is my fault.
04:34I should have seen what he truly was.
04:35It's not your fault.
04:36He's dangerous.
04:37I need to leave.
04:38Tonight.
04:39Once he chooses another queen,
04:41I'll return.
04:42Take this.
04:46Go to the dragon's abyss.
04:47There are beings there far stronger than the serpent king.
05:00I swallowed and stepped forward.
05:03With the sigil in my hand, the barrier opened on its own.
05:07The moment I crossed inside, I held my breath.
05:10The air was thick, burning, overwhelming.
05:14Laced with the raw heat of a dragon in rut, I forced myself deeper.
05:19At the very heart of the cavern, upon a vast slab of ice crystal, a man lay there, unearthly in
05:27his beauty.
05:27The ancient legends flashed through my mind, and my breath caught.
05:34You... you're a primordial dragon?
05:37Danger.
05:38Leave.
05:39Now.
05:40Even in this state, consumed by instinct, he still held himself back and refused to touch me.
05:47That alone made him different from Darien.
05:51I can help you through this.
05:53In return, give me children.
05:55He frowned and tried to push me away, but his gaze fell on the golden mark at my collarbone.
06:00In the next second, his tail wrapped around my waist and pulled me beneath him.
06:05Then you take all of me.
06:07My answer was swallowed by his heated kiss.
06:11The power of a primordial dragon was overwhelming.
06:14I was nearly undone, yet he showed no sign of stopping.
06:18It took seven days and seven nights before his burning heat finally subsided.
06:28I will give you the grandest wedding in this world.
06:34When I woke, the communication crystal was glowing in my hand.
06:38Something was wrong in my clan.
06:40Kalem was gone, and I had no time to wait.
06:43I dressed quickly and left.
06:44Back in the palace hall, my sister Kole stood trembling.
06:47Her face hidden as she cried.
06:49My father pulled me aside.
06:50Darien insists on marrying Chloe, or he will take every woman in our clan by force.
06:58Kole suffers from androphobia.
07:00She couldn't even stand being near men, and yet he chose her.
07:04I stormed off to confront him.
07:06Darien sat in the pavilion, calm and composed.
07:09Jasmine, your favorite.
07:19For generations, your people have given queens to mine.
07:22If you refuse, she will take your place.
07:23Stop twisting the truth.
07:25We are strangers.
07:26Why are you so obsessed with forcing this?
07:28What if I told you this is fate carried over from another life?
07:32Ridiculous.
07:33If it were fate, I would feel something when I see you.
07:35I would want to be near you, not feel disgust.
07:38Three days, I will come for my bride.
07:40Whether it is you or her, is your choice.
07:44Three days later, Darien arrived in red, leading a grand procession to claim his bride.
07:50But the moment he left, another presence descended.
08:00My father finally smiled.
08:02He took my hand and placed it in Kalem's.
08:05By morning, the world was in chaos.
08:08The Serpent King had discovered his queen was a substitute.
08:12Who are you?
08:13And the last primordial dragon had taken a bride.
08:16Back in the dragon's abyss...
08:18Kalium, I'm pregnant.
08:23I'm going to be a father?
08:26Don't move too much.
08:27Tell me what you need, I'll bring it.
08:29They're barely anything yet.
08:31You're nice to me.
08:32Is this because I helped you through your heat?
08:34He smiled and tapped the golden mark at my collarbone.
08:37You don't remember?
08:38Remember what?
08:39800 years ago, you saved me when I was near death.
08:42You took care of me.
08:43Even insisted I marry you one day.
08:45And I always keep my promises.
08:47Thank the gods.
08:48I found you again.
08:50How old are you, exactly?
08:52I don't remember.
08:539,000, perhaps?
08:55That old?
08:56Maybe more.
08:57The result of that comment was immediate.
08:59For the next several days, he barely let me out of bed, proving in every possible way
09:05that age had done nothing to weaken him.
09:08I almost forgot about deceiving Darien with a prostitute bride.
09:11Until he followed the scent of the clothes I had left on her, moving all the way to the dragon's
09:17abyss.
09:21Serena, how could you do this?
09:23You sent another woman to my bed?
09:25I had been lying on a lounge chair in the sunlight, not asleep.
09:29Calum had gone far away to fetch my favorite pastries.
09:32When Darien stormed in, I ran.
09:34He caught me effortlessly.
09:36Serena, are you truly this cold?
09:38Can you not see even a tress of what I feel for you?
09:41His words cut off the moment his gaze dropped to my stomach.
09:44Who is it who touched you?
09:46I will tear him apart.
09:49I will slaughter his entire bloodline.
09:51My people have fulfilled their duty, as will two head apart.
09:56You have your queen.
09:57As for this child, it's not yours.
10:01You are mine.
10:03How dare you carry another man's child?
10:10His cold hand pressed against my abdomen.
10:13Memories came rushing back to me.
10:15No, don't!
10:15Don't hurt my children.
10:16Stop!
10:18They're innocent!
10:19Why would you do this?
10:20They're yours!
10:21How could you?
10:22You remember.
10:23You remember me, don't you?
10:27I'm your husband.
10:29I couldn't tell past from present.
10:31I just cried as he carried me away.
10:35When I finally calmed down, I realized where I was.
10:39The same palace from my past life.
10:43Good.
10:44You remember me now.
10:45A chill ran through me.
10:46He had been reborn, too.
10:48What do you want?
10:49Serena, that was the past.
10:50Since fate has given us another chance, we can start over.
10:57Start over?
11:01Start over?
11:02After everything you did?
11:04You killed my children.
11:06Poisoned me.
11:08Stripped me of everything.
11:09Forced me to watch you with others.
11:11Made me serve them.
11:13You dragged me through hell.
11:15And you think I can just forget?
11:18Serena, you have to understand.
11:20I was deceived.
11:21I didn't know-
11:23I don't need your excuses.
11:24What's done is done.
11:26Even if you die regretting it, I will never forgive you.
11:31Leave.
11:34Rest.
11:35I'll come back tomorrow.
11:36The moment he left, I sent word.
11:39A message to Calum, telling him I was safe.
11:41And something more.
11:43A map.
11:44The next morning, Darian returned with food I once loved.
11:48I didn't touch it.
11:49Save it.
11:50If there's nothing else, I'm leaving.
11:54I mean it this time.
11:56I want to make things right.
11:58When I didn't respond, he took me to the dungeon.
12:01A woman hung there.
12:03Broken.
12:04Mutilated.
12:05Barely alive.
12:07Her body was ruined.
12:09Her forehead branded with a single word.
12:12Slave.
12:13Serena.
12:14She was the one who turned me against you.
12:19She won't stand between us again.
12:22I've avenged you.
12:24Isn't that enough?
12:27What did she say that made you kill your own children?
12:32He didn't answer.
12:33That was answer enough.
12:35She told you I betrayed you.
12:38That the children weren't yours.
12:41No.
12:42Stop.
12:45You were the one who chose to believe her.
12:47You never asked me.
12:49Never questioned it.
12:50You just decided and destroyed everything.
12:54You don't get to call that love.
13:00After that, he came every day.
13:03Kneeling outside my door.
13:05When that failed, he tried something else.
13:08Tiny clothes.
13:09Toys.
13:10Things for a child.
13:12I stepped back instinctively.
13:14One hand over my stomach.
13:15Pain flickered in his eyes.
13:18Don't be afraid.
13:20Even if the child isn't mine, I won't hurt them.
13:23I'll raise them as my own.
13:25Are you insane?
13:28I have a husband.
13:30My child has a father.
13:31I don't need your pity.
13:33Or what?
13:34Do you have some strange obsession with raising another man's child?
13:39Darian acted as if he hadn't heard the mockery in my voice.
13:42Still lost in his own delusion.
13:44Serena, I am the most powerful serpent king alive.
13:47I have centuries ahead of me.
13:50I can wait for you to come back to me.
13:52When you do, I'll make you my queen again.
13:55We'll have our own children.
13:57Make up for everything we lost.
13:59At first, I argued.
14:01But he refused to hear me.
14:03So I stopped responding.
14:06Thankfully, those suffocating days didn't last long.
14:09Calum came.
14:10When he arrived, Darian was standing beside me, holding up bolts of crimson silk, talking about wedding garments.
14:19This one suits you.
14:22Your skin would look perfect in red.
14:24I didn't even open my eyes.
14:26Then, a deafening crash shook the courtyard.
14:30I looked up just in time to see Darian's body hurled through the air, sent flying dozens of meters before
14:36slamming into stone.
14:44He gave a low hum, his gaze sweeping over me, checking for any injury.
14:50Only after confirming I was unharmed did the tension leave his face.
14:54I shouldn't have left you alone.
14:56I gave others a chance to touch what's mine.
15:00It's not your fault.
15:02I was careless and left the barrier.
15:05He pulled me close, arm firm around my waist, ready to take me away.
15:09Behind us, rubble shifted.
15:12Darian climbed out, eyes blazing the moment he saw us together.
15:16So this is him.
15:18Watch your mouth.
15:20We're properly married.
15:24You chose this?
15:26He looks old.
15:36Only when blood splattered across Kalem's cheek did I step forward, reaching up to wipe it away.
15:42Let's go.
15:43I'm hungry.
15:44I want to go home.
15:46All right.
15:46He wrapped an arm around me, ready to leave.
15:51Serena, I am a king.
15:52I can give you endless wealth and power.
15:54That man has nothing.
15:56You and your children will suffer with him.
