00:00Mi hija y yo encontré los espaldos de los espaldos en los nubes de los nubes.
00:03Ella tomó el espaldón de los espaldos de los espaldos de los espaldos de los espaldos de los espaldos de
00:11los espaldos de los espaldos.
00:12Me tomó el espaldos de los espaldos de los espaldos de los espaldos de los espaldos de los espaldos.
00:13Pero no me dejó 10 años de alimentación de él mi propia sangre, pero nunca se quedó cerca de mí.
00:18Justo cuando estaba a la hora de desistir, él cambió su mente.
00:22Vamos a bondar.
00:23Pensaba que se había perdido de su corazón.
00:26Pero la noche antes de nuestra bondad, aprendí la verdad.
00:29Él no quería que me quedara con mi espaldos de mi espaldos.
00:32Después de que se convierta un espaldón, él mató y mató el yza.
00:37Es cuando me dijeron que era solo un espaldos de él.
00:39El espaldos de los espaldos de los espaldos de los espaldos de los espaldos de los espaldos de los espaldos
00:43de los espaldos.
00:43Pero eso está bien.
00:45Ahora que sé la verdad, tengo mi propio plan.
00:48Me llevó mi propio plan.
00:50Talos llegó tarde tarde.
00:51Nos despedimos juntos.
00:52No sé que me sé todo.
00:54Se despedimos.

05:42When Wesley is Dragon Lord, Eliza will be the most powerful woman on the continent.
05:46She can let her failure sister share some of the glory.
05:48I've heard words like these my whole life.
05:50My sister is the moon in the sky.
05:53I'm mud in a well.
05:54Even my own parents play favourites.
05:56So how can I expect fairness from others?
05:58I don't care about any of that.
06:00The only one whose opinion matters to me is Calus.
06:03Does he think bonding with me wastes his bloodline?
06:06The night before our bonding, I asked him,
06:08Will you regret this?
06:10No.
06:11On the night before the ritual,
06:14Calus and I weren't supposed to see each other.
06:16We each had to purify ourselves in the magic spring.
06:19But I remembered I hadn't given him his monthly magic blood yet.
06:22I went somewhere private and extracted it.
06:25I carefully put it in a bottle and held it close.
06:27Following his scent, I found him.
06:29Just as I was about to call his name, I heard him scoff.
06:32Eliza, you know I only agreed to bond with her so I could stay by your side.
06:36She has no talent.
06:37Her magic blood is pitifully weak.
06:39How could she compare to you?
06:41My feet were frozen to the ground.
06:42He was holding my sister's hand.
06:44His eyes were burning, like I'd never seen before.
06:47More words spilled from his mouth.
06:49Once I become a dragon, the first thing I'll do is break my bond with her.
06:52Then I'll make you the dragon lord's wife.
06:54Growing up, whenever people called me ugly or useless, Eliza was the one who spoke up for me.
07:00My parents always favored her, but I never envied her.
07:03She was the only one in the family who never looked down on me.
07:06Eliza frowned.
07:07I thought she was about to scold Calus.
07:09I really hate that you have to stay with a failure like Lena.
07:13How is her weak magic supposed to help you train?
07:17I stepped back.
07:18I couldn't believe those words came from my sister.
07:20She even reached for Calus' tail and played with it in her hands.
07:25If I accidentally touched Calus' tail, he'd say it disgusted him.
07:29But he let my sister touch it however she wanted.
07:32I have Lena's magic blood.
07:34Once we bond, the benefits will be even greater.
07:37Can a little bit of blood compare to my talent?
07:41Calus' eyes flashed with cruelty I'd never seen before.
07:44If it's not enough, I'll take more.
07:47She's obsessed with me anyway.
07:49What's a little blood to her?
07:50So Calus always knew.
07:52He knew I'd been feeding him my blood.
07:55At that moment, I felt like my heart was being squeezed and stomped on.
07:59I thought having Calus meant I'd never be alone again.
08:02I thought he wanted to bond with me because he didn't want me to leave.
08:05But it was all just a way for him to stay close to my sister.
08:09Only then did I finally admit to myself, Calus never cared about me.
08:13Those twin worms we found dying in the northern wastelands.
08:17Their first love was always my sister.
08:20I stumbled back to my room, my hands trembling.
08:23I packed up everything I'd just put away.
08:25I was really leaving this time.
08:27Before I left, I wrote a note.
08:29Calus, you're free.
08:30I raised my hand to my eyes.
08:32Day after day of draining my magic blood had taken my vision first.
08:36Soon, I wouldn't be able to see anything at all.
08:40My chest felt heavy.
08:42I finally let go of my white dragon.
08:44Let go of the me who threw myself into the fire.
08:47I didn't tell anyone where I was going.
08:48I couldn't breathe here.
08:50I just wanted to run.
08:51After leaving House Karen, I moved around a lot.
08:54Finally, I settled in a border town where no one knew me.
08:58Simple people, simple life.
09:00Lots of small, untamed, magical beasts.
09:03Slowly, everyone learned I had healing powers for magical creatures.
09:07Word spread.
09:08The local Tamers guild found me.
09:10They convinced me to join.
09:12They promised not to reveal who I really was.
09:14At House Karen, I was a failure.
09:17But in this border town, I was just good enough.
09:20The people were kind, especially the children.
09:23They'd pick colorful magic stones from the wild and leave them on my windowsill.
09:27To thank me for calming their restless beasts.
09:30Some of the braver kids would ask,
09:32Miss, you're so amazing.
09:33Why don't you have your own magical beast?
09:35I'm not amazing.
09:36I'm not pretty either.
09:37No beast would want to bond with me.
09:39Who said that?
09:40You're the kindest, prettiest tamer we've ever met.
09:42I forced a smile and shrugged it off.
09:44Kids get distracted fast.
09:46Soon, they ran off to play with their own beasts.
09:49I suddenly thought of Kalos.
09:51Had he noticed I was gone yet?
09:52Was he furious that his plan fell apart?
09:55Would he drop his cold mask?
09:57I shook my head.
09:59Pushed those thoughts away.
10:00House Karen and Kalos had nothing to do with me anymore.
10:04My dad found a lame beast.
10:05Its face is covered in ugly scars.
10:07I've never seen such an ugly beast.
10:08No wonder its owner dumped it.
10:10I saw it too.
10:10With all those injuries, it must have escaped from the underground arena.
10:14Everyone went quiet.
10:15In this small town, people didn't talk about places like that.
10:19I'd heard my father say only savage beasts get sent to the arena.
10:24Beasts that won't obey.
10:25The arena doesn't treat them like living things.
10:28They just make them fight each other endlessly.
10:32I couldn't help asking, where is he now?
10:34Lena, you're not thinking of going to find him, are you?
10:37Don't do it.
10:37If he really escaped from the arena, he's dangerous.
10:40He could go crazy and hurt you.
10:41You've seen him today, haven't you?
10:43The man hesitated, then nodded.
10:45I saw him in that abandoned shack by the mountain.
10:48Then he added,
10:49You're not thinking of taking him in, are you?
10:50Take in a new beast.
10:51The scar on my chest ached.
10:54I probably didn't have the courage to raise another beast.
10:57Ten years with Kalos had nearly drained all my magic.
11:00But I couldn't help feeling bitter.
11:02Why do only the pretty ones, the talented ones,
11:05get seen, get treated well, get loved?
11:08We who long to be noticed and loved.
11:10Don't we count too?
11:12Looking at the worried faces around me, I said,
11:14Even arena beasts can tell right from wrong, just like people.
11:17As long as he means no harm, I don't think he will attack anyone.
11:19Please don't judge him too harshly.
11:21Maybe he's just an ordinary beast who suffered a lot.
11:23I followed the man's directions to the abandoned shack by the mountain.
11:27It was dark inside.
11:28Two black stone-like things glowed in the darkness.
11:31The beast's eyes.
11:32I placed the food I'd brought in front of the shack.
11:37This is for you to eat.
11:39Don't be afraid.
11:40They're just ordinary things.
11:43After a moment, a voice came from inside.
11:46Who are you?
11:47The voice was rough, like gravel grinding together.
11:51I smiled and answered softly,
11:53I'm like you.
11:54Someone with no home.
11:56Maybe he could tell I meant no harm.
11:57There was a rustling sound from inside.
12:00The beast moved to the doorway.
12:02He carefully picked up the food.
12:04Only then could I see him clearly.
12:06His true form was a wyvern.
12:08Nothing like the man had said.
12:09He didn't seem fierce at all.
12:11Just lifeless, like ash.
12:13The scars on his face were deep.
12:15His hair was matted into knots.
12:17He ate while watching me nervously.
12:20Like he was afraid I'd take the food away.
12:22I hid my hands behind my back to make him feel safer.
12:25What's your name?
12:26I asked.
12:27He swallowed the food with difficulty.
12:29His eyes glowed brighter.
12:32Caspian.
12:33My name is Caspian.
12:34I repeated.
12:36Caspian.
12:37That's a lovely name.
12:38Caspian's face turned a little red.
12:40Even through the scars, he was beautiful.
12:43When he finished eating, I got ready to leave.
12:45I told him.
12:48Caspian.
12:48The people here are kind.
12:50No one will hurt you.
12:52Caspian nodded hesitantly.
12:54Such a gentle beast.
12:56Why would anyone send him to the arena?
12:58Why treat him so cruelly?
13:00I sighed and turned to leave.
13:02But Caspian grabbed my sleeve.
13:03I looked back into his eyes.
13:05Wet.
13:06Begging.
13:06He spoke with difficulty.
13:08Could you...
13:09Could you take me in?
13:10I'm not a bad person.
13:12I was stunned.
13:13Afraid I'd say no, he rushed out words.
13:15I know my leg is hurt.
13:16But I can still work.
13:18Build fires.
13:19Cook soup.
13:19Clean the house.
13:20Mend clothes.
13:21I can do all of it.
13:22Anything you need.
13:23Just tell me.
13:26Looking at Caspian, I saw my younger self.
13:29I did everything to get my parents to notice me.
13:31Copied spells for them.
13:33Cleaned their magic circles.
13:35Organized my sister's spell books.
13:37Polished her magic tools.
13:39Just to seem useful.
13:41Like if I did less, I didn't deserve their love.
13:43But my sister did nothing.
13:45She just stood there.
13:47And she was always their favorite.
13:48I carried that feeling of not being good enough my whole life.
13:52I always wished someone would tell me,
13:54You don't have to earn our love.
13:55My heart ached.
13:56I looked into Caspian's eyes.
13:58I'm not pretty.
13:59My magic is weak.
14:01Are you sure you want someone like me?
14:03Caspian let go of my sleeve.
14:05My heart sank.
14:07Of course, looks and power were all that mattered.
14:10But then Caspian wiped his hands on his clothes and gently touched my face.
14:15Lena, you are beautiful.
14:16More beautiful than anyone I've ever seen.
14:19I want to be with you.
14:22No one had ever said that to me before.
14:25Caspian's eyes were clean.
14:26No disgust.
14:28No judgment.
14:29Looking into his honest eyes,
14:30I reached out my hand without thinking.
14:33Afraid I'd change my mind, he grabbed it quickly.
14:35And just like that,
14:36I took Caspian in.
14:38Caspian was nothing like Calus.
14:41With Caspian around, I didn't have to lift a finger.
14:43He kept the house perfectly.
14:45Always found ways to cook things that made me smile.
14:48He knew what I liked.
14:49There was always hot soup waiting on the stove.
14:52I told him he didn't have to do all this to stay with me.
14:54I said I didn't want to trap him with gratitude.
14:57But really, I was scared.
14:59Scared that one day he'd turn cold like Calus,
15:02and I wouldn't know how to handle it.
15:04Even the old man who warned me about him had changed his tune.
15:08Good things come to good people, he said.
15:10Caspian is so capable.
15:13You're lucky.
15:14The neighbors were jealous too.
15:15They compared Caspian to their own beasts.
15:18I just smiled and said nothing.
15:20I thought Caspian would be gentle,
15:22but I never expected him to be this good.
15:24Being with him taught me something.
15:26It's not about being human or beast.
15:29It's about whether someone wants to care.
15:31Time passed quickly.
15:32With Caspian by my side,
15:34I thought about the past less often,
15:36but sometimes I still had nightmares.
15:38I dreamed about the fourth year with Calus.
15:40My sister and I took our beasts out.
15:42We were ambushed by our family's rivals.
15:45Fireballs exploded.
15:46Swords clashed.
15:48Wesley protected Eliza.
15:49I pulled Calus trying to escape.
15:51They chased us to the edge of a cliff.
15:53I was so focused on protecting Calus,
15:56I didn't watch my step.
15:57I fell.
15:58As I fell,
16:00I hated myself for being useless.
16:02I was still worried about Calus.
16:04But in the dream,
16:05I saw things more clearly.
16:07Right before I fell,
16:08someone tried to attack my sister.
16:10Calus pushed me aside.
16:11He and Wesley both shielded Eliza.
16:14It wasn't an accident.
16:15I was just in the way.
16:16The cliff wasn't that high.
16:17I survived,
16:18but all my limbs were broken.
16:20I was bedridden for six months.
16:22My parents visited once.
16:24They were too busy.
16:25Eliza had scratches.
16:26They couldn't let her have scars.
16:28They searched everywhere for healing potions.
16:30Calus came once too.
16:31When Eliza came to check on me,
16:33her voice screamed in my head.
16:34Lena Karen,
16:36you're a waste of air.
16:38No one will ever love you.
16:40I shook my head,
16:41trying to push it out.
16:42Even the beast you raised abandoned you.
16:45You're worthless.
16:46Always have been.
16:47The voice grew sharper.
16:48Sometimes my father's voice.
16:50Sometimes my mother's.
16:51Sometimes my sister's.
16:52Then it became Calus' voice.
16:54Don't touch me.
16:54You make me sick.
16:56I backed away,
16:57begging.
16:58I'm sorry.
16:59I'm sorry.
17:00The new walls I'd built crumbled.
17:02I almost drowned in self-pity again.
17:04Then I felt warmth on my forehead.
17:06The voices disappeared,
17:07like someone tore open the darkness.
17:09I ran toward the light.
17:11It grew brighter and brighter.
17:13When I opened my eyes,
17:14Caspian was kneeling by my bed.
17:16His hand was on my forehead.
17:17When he saw I was awake,
17:19he let out a breath of relief.
17:21Lena, did you have a nightmare?
17:22His voice was soft and gentle.
17:24It made me feel safe.
17:25I don't know why,
17:26but I wanted to cry.
17:27Tears flooded my eyes.
17:29For the first time,
17:30I cried in front of Caspian.
17:31The tears wouldn't stop.
17:33Caspian didn't know how to comfort me,
17:34so he just held me awkwardly.
17:36His arms were gentle.
17:37He patted my back.
17:38Don't be sad, Lena.
17:40Caspian is here.
17:40If I cried in front of Calus,
17:42he'd just tell me coldly to leave.
17:44But with Caspian,
17:45I didn't have to pretend to be strong.
17:47My lips trembled.
17:48I said something without thinking.
17:49Can I touch your tail?
17:51Caspian's breath caught.
17:52He let his tail appear
17:53and placed it in my hand.
17:55I touched it gently.
17:56The green scales shimmered with dark light.
17:58Beneath the scales,
17:59golden veins glowed.
18:01Were all wyvern tails this beautiful?
18:04I'd seen my sister touch Wesley's tail.
18:06Worms are the closest things to dragons,
18:08but even Wesley's tail
18:09wasn't as beautiful as Caspian's.
18:11My hand trembled as I touched it,
18:13something I'd wanted since I was young.
18:15My fingers moved along his snake tail.
18:17I didn't notice his breathing getting faster.
18:19Suddenly, he grabbed my hand.
18:21His voice was rough, leaner.
18:22Do you know what it means to touch a tail?
18:24I looked at him, confused.
18:26What does it mean to touch a tail?
18:28Ever since I could remember,
18:29I'd seen my sister touch beasts' tails,
18:31griffins, winter wolves,
18:33countless birds and beasts.
18:34My sister said beasts
18:36only let powerful tamers
18:37touch their tails,
18:38so I never dared to try.
18:39I only touched Calus
18:41because I loved him so much.
18:42Seeing that I didn't understand,
18:44Caspian blushed.
18:45He turned his head away and whispered,
18:47A tail is the most sensitive part of a beast.
18:50Touching it means you want to mate.
18:51My face burned.
18:53So that's what it meant.
18:54My sister lied to me.
18:55No one had ever taught me this.
18:57I'd thought it was just
18:58a casual sign of affection.
18:59I'd been a tamer
19:00all these years for nothing.
19:02Did that mean I'd been perverted
19:03when I watched my sister
19:04touch Wesley's tail?
19:06And my sister touched
19:07so many beasts' tails.
19:08Did her magic get stronger every time?
19:10I thought it was just talent.
19:12I quickly let go of Caspian's tail.
19:13My face was hot.
19:14Caspian turned back
19:15and looked at me seriously.
19:17Don't misunderstand, Lena.
19:18I want you to.
19:19It just feels intense.
19:21I looked away.
19:22He took my hand again,
19:23guiding my fingers along his tail.
19:25Everywhere I touched,
19:26golden light glowed.
19:28I was born in the Wastelands.
19:29I was taken to the arena
19:30when I was small.
19:31They wanted me to fight.
19:32I refused.
19:33I barely escaped.
19:34I thought I'd live
19:35in the shadows forever.
19:36I didn't see the point.
19:38Then I met you, Lena.
19:39My heart ached.
19:40Caspian had suffered so much.
19:42If I'd met him
19:43instead of Calus back then,
19:44would everything be different?
19:45He kept talking.
19:46I want to bond with you.
19:47Be with you forever,
19:48if you don't mind that I'm ugly.
19:50Of course not,
19:51I blurted out.
19:52I meant I didn't mind.
19:53Lena,
19:54is that a yes?
19:55His heart pounded wildly.
19:56It stirred something
19:57in my heart too.
19:58I thought about saying no,
20:00but when I opened my mouth,
20:01I said,
20:02yes.
20:02Looking ahead,
20:03a life with Caspian
20:05didn't seem so bad.
20:06Caspian took care of me.
20:07I took care of his leg.
20:08Slowly,
20:09we both got better.
20:10Every evening,
20:11we walked through the hills.
20:12The breeze in our faces.
20:14Neither of us
20:14had happy memories
20:15to look back on.
20:16But walking hand in hand,
20:18we always had things
20:19to talk about.
20:19The wind is strong today.
20:21Lots of berries
20:21fell from the mountain.
20:23We were about to gather
20:23some for dinner.
20:24Then I heard someone
20:25call my name from behind.
20:26Lena!
20:27My heart stopped.
20:29Why was he here?
20:30I froze.
20:31I used to have hope
20:32for this man,
20:33my father.
20:33I hoped he'd remember
20:34his younger daughter.
20:35Even if he didn't love me,
20:37at least don't act
20:37like I don't exist.
20:39He bought magic candy
20:40and dolls for my sister,
20:41but he never did anything for me.
20:43He'd barely even smiled
20:44at me my whole life.
20:45But blood is strange.
20:46He treated me like a stranger.
20:48Still,
20:48hearing he was dying
20:49made me sad.
20:50As a daughter,
20:50I should be there at the end,
20:52even if he didn't care
20:52whether I came or not.
20:54Caspian looked at me with worry.
20:55I said to him,
20:56Caspian,
20:57let me heal your face.
20:58Caspian looked down.
20:59Lena,
20:59are you going back
21:00to that house?
21:00I squeezed his hand.
21:02Don't overthink it.
21:03I just don't want anyone
21:04to look down on you.
21:05If we went back to house Karen,
21:06I'd have to hear
21:07all those insults again.
21:08I couldn't let him
21:09hear them too.
21:09Caspian nodded gently.
21:11I trust you.
21:12It's in a beast's nature
21:13to be cautious.
21:14But after everything
21:14Caspian had been through,
21:15he could still trust someone.
21:17That made his trust precious.
21:18I couldn't help
21:19touching his face.
21:20The skin without scars
21:21was smoother than any woman's.
21:23Suddenly,
21:24Caspian revealed his true form.
21:25His tail wrapped around my waist.
21:27It felt hard against my stomach
21:29and warm.
21:30I touched his golden scales gently,
21:32all the way to the tip of his tail.
21:34Caspian's body trembled.
21:35His voice was rough.
21:36Lena,
21:36did you touch his tail too?
21:38I knew who he meant.
21:39He hated when I touched him
21:40because I wasn't the one he wanted.
21:42Caspian's eyes lit up.
21:44Don't touch him anymore.
21:45I don't like the way
21:46he looks at you.
21:46That night,
21:47Caspian didn't sleep in his room.
21:49He climbed into my bed.
21:50He said he wanted
21:50to stay warm with me.
21:52I knew Calus's sudden appearance
21:53had made him anxious,
21:54so I let him.
21:55When he got emotional,
21:56he'd shift into his true form.
21:58I hadn't paid attention before,
22:00but now I noticed
22:00a horn on his forehead.
22:02Wyverns don't have horns.
22:03I stopped Caspian
22:04from moving against me.
22:05What are you?
22:06I asked.
22:07Caspian's eyes were red.
22:08He could barely stay conscious.
22:10Whatever you say I am,
22:11he said.
22:12I'm that.
22:13He didn't know what he really was.
22:15The golden light on his tail,
22:16the horn on his head,
22:17hard as a blade.
22:19They looked like the symbols
22:19on the dragon carvings
22:21my sister and I saw in the ruins.
22:22Could Caspian be?
22:24I didn't dare finish the thought.
22:25Caspian didn't give me time to think.
22:27His true form was incredibly strong.
22:29He wrapped around me,
22:30nothing like the gentle Caspian I knew.
22:32I held him back.
22:33Wrapped in layers of his body,
22:35I felt completely safe.
22:36I forgot about House Karen.
22:38Forgot about Kalos.
22:39Forgot 20 years of pain and struggle.
22:42The next day,
22:43I found an excuse to send Caspian away.
22:45I held a blade to my eye.
22:46The skin under the blade throbbed.
22:49You never learn, do you?
22:50I laughed bitterly.
22:52But going back to House Karen,
22:53this was the fastest way to heal Caspian.
22:55I bit down and pressed the blade in.
22:57The familiar pain hit me.
22:59Then a clink.
22:59The blade fell to the ground.
23:01Didn't I send Caspian away?
23:02How was he back?
23:03His eyes were wide.
23:04Are you hurting yourself?
23:05Seeing his panic,
23:06I explained quickly.
23:07No, no.
23:08I was just getting some magic blood.
23:10I know I have weak magic,
23:11but my blood is good for you.
23:12Drink it.
23:13The scars on your face
23:14and your leg will heal.
23:15Caspian stepped forward.
23:16He backed me into the corner.
23:18It was the first time
23:19I'd seen him so angry.
23:20No one is worth hurting yourself like this.
23:22Not even me.
23:23His words exploded in my ears.
23:25But in my memory,
23:26Calus' voice echoed too.
23:28If it's not enough,
23:28take more.
23:29She's obsessed with me anyway.
23:31Fake love and real love.
23:32There's no comparison.
23:33Looking at Caspian's angry face,
23:35my heart felt soft instead.
23:37I weakly tugged his sleeve.
23:38Just once.
23:39One extraction.
23:40It'll heal most of your injuries.
23:41But Caspian ignored me.
23:43He touched the scar on my chest instead.
23:45You got this wound for him, didn't you?
23:46Caspian is almost jealous of him.
23:48Then he let go of me.
23:49He reached into his own chest
23:51and pulled.
23:52Sweat poured down his fore...
23:53Veins bulged.
23:54I grabbed him,
23:55trying to steady him.
23:56His body heat burned my palm.
23:58Then a flash of gold.
23:59A dark green scale appeared in his palm.
24:01He pressed it over my eye.
24:02I stared at Caspian in shock.
24:04What are you doing?
24:05Are you trying to get yourself killed?
24:07My heart scale.
24:08Nothing can pierce it.
24:10Now you can't hurt yourself anymore.
24:11He'd torn out his own heart scale.
24:13I touched my chest.
24:14The scale had already merged with me.
24:16A pure, powerful magic gathered there.
24:19And the scar I'd had for years was gone.
24:21I finally understood why Caspian had been sent to the arena.
24:24His power was terrifying.
24:26So much stronger than my clumsy magic.
24:27He had this incredible healing power.
24:30But he never used it on himself.
24:32He let me fumble and make things worse.
24:34So many times.
24:35I choked out.
24:36Why?
24:36Why didn't you heal yourself?
24:38Caspian smiled weakly.
24:39Because if I healed my wounds,
24:41you would have sent me away.
24:42So he kept his wounds on purpose.
24:44Tears filled my eyes again.
24:46Caspian panicked and tried to wipe them away.
24:48But the more he wiped,
24:49the more they fell.
24:50He used his magic desperately.
24:52Your wounds are healed now.
24:53Don't cry.
24:54Through the blur of tears,
24:55I looked at Caspian.
24:56The scars on his face were gone.
24:58His skin was pale underneath.
25:00But beneath the scars,
25:01he was breathtakingly beautiful.
25:03Eyes like black gems set in long, narrow sockets.
25:06A straight, perfect nose.
25:08Lips as red as cherry blossoms.
25:10Skin as smooth as jade.
25:12Every angle perfect.
25:14This beautiful man was Caspian.
25:16The better he was,
25:17the more worthless I felt.
25:18The old self-doubt came rushing back.
25:21Caspian saw my face change.
25:22Lena, do you not like how I look?
25:24I can change back.
25:25He reached for scissors.
25:26I stopped him.
25:27I pushed down my rising self-hatred
25:29and forced a smile.
25:30Caspian, you're beautiful.
25:32Everyone in town came to stare at Caspian.
25:34The neighbors all praised him.
25:35Lena, you really found a treasure.
25:37Caspian is so capable
25:39and so handsome.
25:40I've never seen such a handsome beast
25:42in my whole life.
25:43Caspian blushed at all the attention.
25:45I looked up at him.
25:46The sun gilded him in gold.
25:48Yes, Caspian was wonderful.
25:50I didn't deserve someone so wonderful.
25:51When I brought Caspian back to House Karen,
25:54everyone praised his looks too.
25:55Even Eliza Karen came up to him.
25:57You're too beautiful to be stuck with Lena.
25:59Did she force you?
26:00Word had spread that I'd abandoned Calus.
26:03So of course they assumed the worst.
26:05Caspian frowned.
26:06I chose her.
26:06She wants nothing from me.
26:08Eliza wouldn't give up.
26:09Come with me instead.
26:10I already have a bonded beast,
26:12but I'm the strongest in House Karen.
26:13I can help you train.
26:15She didn't care at all about Wesley behind her
26:17or Calus hiding in the shadows.
26:19Caspian stepped behind me.
26:20He pointed at me.
26:21She is my Tamer.
26:22Only her.
26:23I don't care how strong you are.
26:25And besides,
26:25who's the strongest is still up for debate.
26:27I liked the first half.
26:28The second half confused me.
26:30For the first time in 20 years,
26:32Eliza had been rejected by a beast.
26:34Eliza was furious,
26:35and there were consequences.
26:37The entire House Karen
26:38stopped praising Caspian's looks
26:40and started gossiping about his past instead.
