00:00He threw my body into the cold, rushing river sticks.
00:03No funeral, no tombstone, only the crows accompanied me.
00:07And this was the second time I gave my life to him.
00:10In the mermaid world, blindness is an irreparable defect.
00:14I was born lowly and powerless, unable to grow legs or heal myself.
00:18What is easy for others is an impossible dream for me.
00:21I cannot see faces, but I can see the essence of souls.
00:25Rotting green hatred and thick black malice.
00:28In my past life, I used my blood to build his throne.
00:32Killian, the forgotten fifth prince.
00:34On the day my sister Elowen died, he crushed my jaw.
00:38He poured burning poison down my throat.
00:41You blind monster. I never wanted you.
00:44Elowen should have been mine from the very start.
00:46Because of you, she married Lucian and died in pain.
00:50All of this is your fault!
00:52He gave Elowen a grand funeral in a royal tomb.
00:55For me, there was only the dark abyss and the cold river.
00:59I opened my eyes and returned to the night of the contract.
01:02Killian walked right past me and grabbed Elowen's hand.
01:05He held her tight, as if afraid someone would stop him.
01:09That scumbag was reborn too.
01:11He remembers everything.
01:12But honestly, I don't care about him anymore.
01:15With my blind eyes, I scanned the back of the hall.
01:18The room was filled with dark, rotting souls.
01:20Look at her. Pathetic, isn't it?
01:23But one person's soul was as bright as pure gold.
01:27A true king of the merfolk.
01:30I choose Elowen to be my destined mate.
01:33Killian's words struck the palace like Zeus's thunder.
01:36She is the only love of my life.
01:39He walked toward my sister with intense focus.
01:42The hall fell into dead silence.
01:44Then, heavy whispers surrounded me like a shield.
01:47No sane person would ever choose her.
01:50A blind girl who can't even grow legs?
01:53Ridiculous.
01:54She has no right to be at this ceremony.
01:56I am a king's daughter, but I was born blind.
01:59This flaw is not just weakness.
02:01It is a curse.
02:03With no divine power, I was born to be a joke.
02:07My sister Elowen is the bright pearl of our family.
02:10She has the siren song that charms the world.
02:14The family worships her, but sees me as a stain.
02:17Killian prostrated himself before her, his twin tails curving.
02:22I swear by my blood, you will be the most honored goddess.
02:27After speaking, he threw a cold glance back at me.
02:30There was no guilt, only a freezing warning.
02:33He thinks he can reach the top without me this time.
02:36He thinks I was always the chain holding him back.
02:39He will never know what a treasure he just threw away.
02:42I didn't wake mermaid powers, but something more lethal.
02:45I can see the lies hidden within the soul.
02:48Jealousy is a poison.
02:50Hatred is a bottomless abyss.
02:52Love is like thick ink.
02:54The deeper it goes, the darker it turns.
02:56In my last life, I used this power to keep him safe.
03:00I predicted every plot and cleared every enemy for him.
03:03In this life, I will step back just as he wishes.
03:07I will watch him walk step by step toward his ruins.
03:11He will realize that without me, he has nothing.
03:14I only hope that in the end, he doesn't crawl back.
03:18I hope he never begs for my mercy.
03:21The moment Killian made his choice, all eyes fell on me.
03:25A blind, lowly creature like me could never deserve a prince.
03:29Elowen was the only one truly meant for him.
03:31At least you know your place, you powerless reject!
03:35Even if you were the last woman on Earth, I wouldn't pick you.
03:41Even if you begged on your knees, I wouldn't care.
03:43My servant Lyra gasped, but I squeezed her hand to stop her.
03:47I can see their souls.
03:48Killian's is dark and cruel.
03:51Everyone else's soul is churning with greed and desire.
03:54In my past life, I chose Killian because his soul looked clean.
03:58But that was just a mask covering his rotting nature.
04:01They hate my defects.
04:03They hate my very existence.
04:06Elowen walked over, acting like the perfect, kind sister.
04:10Don't be sad.
04:12I would never steal someone you love.
04:14But her soul is rotting with poisonous green jealousy.
04:17No one will choose you anyway.
04:20You can beg me for a job as Elowen's maid.
04:25Cleaning and scrubbing statues suits a loser like you.
04:29I remained silent.
04:30Their insults weren't worth my energy.
04:32Suddenly, the sound of a rolling throne of floating shells stopped.
04:35The entire room froze as Alaric appeared uninvited.
04:40He sat there like a predator waiting in the shadows.
04:42The moment I saw his soul, I held my breath.
04:46It was pure, blinding gold.
04:49Without a single stain.
04:50The mark of one truly chosen by fate.
04:53It is the real king.
04:56I clenched my fists so hard my nails dug into my skin.
05:00Last time, I chose the wrong man and defied fate for a monster.
05:03In the end, everyone paid the price.
05:05But not this time.
05:06I walked straight past Killian.
05:08I ignored every arrogant prince and hero in the hall.
05:11Finally, I stopped before Alaric's throne of floating shells.
05:14I choose him.
05:15The hall went silent before exploding into insults.
05:18A blind girl and a cripple.
05:19Two outcasts made for each other.
05:21Vesper, you're blind.
05:23He can never leave that throne of floating shells.
05:26Killian looked down at me, enjoying his sense of power.
05:28I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
05:30Pick someone else.
05:32If no one wants you, you can do chores in our palace.
05:36I will not be a servant, nor a stray kept out of pity.
05:39Alaric said nothing.
05:40He slowly moved his throne of floating shells toward me.
05:43He reached out and took my hand in his.
05:45His palm was large, rough with calluses, and steady.
05:48He guided my hand to rest gently on his knee.
05:51There was no hiding, and there was no shame.
05:53Through the fabric, I felt the intense heat of his skin.
05:56Suddenly, a bolt of electricity shot from my fingers to my heart.
06:00Feeling was strange and overwhelming.
06:02I have no divine source.
06:04A fate link should be impossible.
06:06But right now, this bond feels real and burning hot.
06:11I moved a little closer, and Alaric's whole body went stiff.
06:15I stared at his soul.
06:17Soft, crimson threads wove through the bright gold.
06:20I slowly leaned down and gave a faint smile.
06:23Killian's face flashed through my mind.
06:25It isn't over, yet you make promises you can't keep.
06:28If you fail to heal him, the king will have your head.
06:32Are you really sure you can do this?
06:34I didn't answer immediately, my fingers tracing his tense thigh.
06:38I can heal him, but it requires a special kind of touch.
06:42His ears turned bright red, and he looked away, avoiding my eyes.
06:46From the corner of my eye, I saw Killian's soul burn with green fire.
06:50What are you jealous of?
06:52You're the one who poisoned me.
06:53The moment I stepped out of the hall, the world tilted.
06:56This is the price I pay.
06:58Using the soul eye on so many people causes this agony.
07:04After the feast, Alaric began to busy himself.
07:07He found every memory from our past lives.
07:10My favorite flowers, my secret hiding spots.
07:14Every word I've waited a lifetime to hear.
07:16He treated me like a friend, as if he had practiced for years.
07:20That same day, a heavy mating contract was placed at my door.
07:25I accept you as my life partner.
07:27In this life and the next, I will protect you.
07:30Neither life nor death shall part us.
07:33The handwriting was bold and firm, without any hesitation.
07:37Two weddings were set for the exact same morning.
07:40The night before, Elowen barged into my room uninvited.
07:45Her maid threw a ragged gray shawl at my feet.
07:47It was the clothes of the lowest slave.
07:50A symbol of submission.
07:51She leaned in.
07:53You blind monster, Vesper.
07:55No mermaid will ever truly accept you.
07:58Killen and I are being kind by letting you stay as a maid.
08:01But on the wedding day, you aren't fit for a carriage.
08:04You will walk on foot behind the procession.
08:07As a servant.
08:08Don't even dream of embarrassing us.
08:12I let that insulting shawl lie on the floor.
08:14I put on a brand new gown prepared by Alaric.
08:17It was the color of the sea, sparkling with jewels and pearls.
08:20Outside the palace, two carriages were waiting.
08:23One was luxurious and pearl studded.
08:25The other was plain.
08:26Elowen walked toward the pearl carriage without hesitating.
08:28The captain of the guard stopped her with a cold face.
08:31You're at the wrong carriage.
08:32This belongs to Lord Alaric's mate.
08:33Elowen tripped on her hem and fell hard to the ground.
08:36She was covered in dust and looked completely pathetic.
08:38Killian rushed over and saw everything.
08:40Elowen scrambled up and threw herself into his arms.
08:43She cried loudly, pretending to be a victim.
08:45It was Vessar!
08:46She set me up on purpose!
08:48She's jealous that I'm going to be the only mermaid queen!
08:50Please don't hate her!
08:53She's just too obsessed!
08:55Killian and I love each other.
08:57I just want him to keep her safe!
09:00I've been supporting her and keeping her as my maid!
09:03I didn't want her to end up starving on the streets!
09:08A blind, broken wretch should be grateful if anyone takes her in.
09:12To cause trouble at your sister's wedding is shameful.
09:16Killian's soul was drowning in thick malice.
09:18He pulled Elowen close and glared at me with hatred.
09:23You are a low-class reject.
09:25You have no right to wear pearls.
09:28Take it off now, or I will tear it off you myself.
09:31Elowen hid in his arms, but I saw her soul laughing in trial.
09:34Killian, in this life, no one will protect you anymore.
09:38Tonight, you aren't waiting for a wedding, but a funeral.
09:41Just because he didn't kick you, you curse a fellow mermaid?
09:44This is absolutely outrageous!
09:48Elowen was kind to you, and you curse her in return?
09:51Guards, seize her!
09:53I stood on my ground, calm as the soldiers approached.
09:56You all better think very carefully about what you are doing.
10:00You are about to assault the mate of Prince Alarid.
10:05Are you prepared to face the consequences?
10:09Killian laughed at a sharp, ugly sound.
10:12Alaric isn't even here.
10:13That cripple is probably hiding in his room.
10:16He's just playing with you like a toy, Vesper.
10:18That's all.
10:19He stepped forward, his shadow falling over me.
10:21Beg Elowen for forgiveness.
10:23Then maybe I'll find a use for you.
10:25Suddenly, a voice cut through the air.
10:27Who is threatening my fiancé?
10:29The crowd scattered in fear.
10:31Alaric walked through them like they didn't even exist.
10:33He wore white robes that shimmered with light.
10:36Even sitting down, his presence was overwhelming.
10:38The moment he appeared, the entire mermaid kingdom fell into silence.
10:42Beside him, Killian looked like a boy in a servant's suit.
10:45Alaric headed straight for me.
10:47He took my hand and held it in his warm, steady palm.
10:50He looked up, staring at Killian like a knife hitting a target.
10:53Let's try this again.
10:55Who told my fiancé that I was a burden?
11:01The temperature underwater seemed to drop.
11:03No one spoke.
11:04No one breathed.
11:05Alaric didn't yell or call for his men.
11:07I hope you know I'm also an heir to the kingdom, just like you.
11:11Who do you think you are?
11:12A forgotten son trying to give me orders?
11:14You're no match for me.
11:16This isn't over.
11:17You'll both regret tonight.
11:20Don't expect mercy when you crawl back.
11:23I stared into his soul, murky green, dark and small.
11:27He actually thinks he's the chosen one.
11:30He thinks the throne is his and I'm just a burden.
11:33He has no idea what's coming for him.
11:35Without me clearing his path, by the time the leaves turn yellow, he'll be lucky to stay alive.
11:40Our first night was quiet, just the two of us.
11:42A fire burned brightly between us.
11:45We shared conch meat and talked about our thoughts.
11:47I felt his eyes sliding across my skin.
11:50My heart wouldn't calm down, even with him across the room.
11:53His scent filled the entire space.
11:55You said you could heal my tail.
11:57How?
11:58Help me with something first.
12:00I've never seen this room.
12:02Describe it to me.
12:04Pearl curtains.
12:05Beautiful curtains on the shelf above the nightstand.
12:09There's an old book.
12:11The cover is faded.
12:12My hand froze next to my glass.
12:14That shelf is high, almost touching the ceiling.
12:17You can't see the book cover from the floating shell throne.
12:20He couldn't have known the cover was faded.
12:22I said nothing.
12:23I just took another sip and pushed the thought away.
12:26I stood up slowly, holding my glass.
12:29I loosened my grip, and the glass suddenly slipped.
12:32It hit the carpet with a thud and rolled to the sofa.
12:38Alaric's body reacted before his mind could.
12:41His chest leaned forward, and his muscles tensed up.
12:44For a split second, he almost stood up from his throne.
12:48He forced himself to stop and sat back down.
12:50But I had already seen that tiny movement.
12:53This small clue was enough to prove my theory.
12:56I stayed silent and didn't move yet.
12:59I just needed one last step to be sure.
13:02I walked over and sat across his tail.
13:05Alaric stopped breathing instantly.
13:08His burning palms touched me like a brand on my skin.
13:11My heart raced wildly, but I ignored it.
13:14I traced his jaw with my fingertips, moving down to his chest.
13:19I stared into his soul.
13:21Deep red waves mixed with soft, gentle pink.
13:24It hit a tenderness he never showed anyone.
13:26But between the colors, there was a sharp flash of green panic.
13:31He knew I was too close.
13:32It was dangerous.
13:33I leaned in, my lips brushing the corner of his mouth.
13:37It wasn't a kiss, but his breathing shattered instantly.
13:41Then, I took his hand and pressed it between our bodies.
13:45My cheeks burned as his body gave away his secret.
13:48The body's instinct never lies.
13:50I felt his muscles tighten and shift uncontrollably.
13:53I pulled back slightly with a small smile.
13:56Your tail has been healed for a long time.
13:58I know everything.
14:00Alaric closed his eyes and swallowed hard.
14:06The next second, he stood straight up.
14:09One hand gripped my waist, the other still on my chest.
14:12He picked me up easily.
14:13He was nearly six feet tall.
14:16At that moment, my whole world was turned upside down.
14:19How did you find out?
14:21I just gave him a mysterious smile.
14:24He placed me gently on the bed and stepped back.
14:27The hand that had just touched me was shaking slightly.
14:30He stared at me for a long time with deep, warm eyes.
14:35I'm sorry.
14:37I shouldn't have...
14:39Don't apologize.
14:41I'm the one who put your hand there.
14:44Seven years of hiding, pretending to be a cripple.
14:46He fooled the entire world.
14:48But he was finally caught by a blind mermaid.
14:51Me.
14:52We didn't cross any lines that night.
14:55We just sat on a blanket by the fire with a bottle of wine.
14:58He told me about the night his parents were murdered.
15:00People said it was a monster attack.
15:02But everyone knew it was a plot by the royal family.
15:05He was 15 at the funeral.
15:07And now, facing the pressure of the powerful, at that moment, he made a choice.
15:11He chose to be seen as a weak, broken prince.
15:15Pretending to be harmless was the only way to survive.
15:18I told him everything about Killian's evil deeds.
15:21I didn't choose Alaric because I had no other options.
15:24I chose him because he is the only one worth trusting.
15:28I watched his soul turn into a bright, golden glow.
15:32It was filled with deep love and pain for me.
15:36Late at night, a sharp pain hit my head again.
15:39I tried to hide my shaking hands.
15:43But Alaric noticed right away.
15:45His thumb gently pressed against my temple.
15:48His touch was soft and soothing, without any pain.
15:51My mother used to suffer from these headaches, too.
15:54I've known how to fix this since I was a boy.
15:58The cold pain vanished instantly.
16:01We shared a bed that night.
16:03His strong, warm arm was around my waist.
16:06My head rested on his solid chest.
16:08For the first time in two lives, I felt safe.
16:12In my past life, Killian poisoned my wine.
16:15I'll see the murder in his soul and switch the cups.
16:18In this life, Elowen and Killian won't stand a chance.
16:22The next morning, Alaric and I went to the royal palace.
16:27People were whispering in the hallways, looking panicked.
16:30They whispered that Alpha had made his mark.
16:32The game was over, and the tension was rising.
16:35I stayed calm, but I was laughing inside.
16:38Soon, Elowen arrived, looking like a mess.
16:41She looked exhausted.
16:42Vesper! How dare you do this to me!
16:44Inside the carriage, the temperature suddenly dropped.
16:48Alaric turned ice cold instantly, his presence sharp and chilling.
16:53I pressed my hand on his tense arm and gave him a quick kiss.
16:56I stepped out of the carriage, into the cold morning currents.
17:01An antidote? I don't have one.
17:04Whatever happens to Killian is not my business.
17:07You know he's dying of poison on his wedding night!
17:10How can you just watch?
17:13Empty accusations mean nothing.
17:15Where is your proof?
17:17Did you catch the killer?
17:18I knew she had nothing.
17:19My assassin was a professional ghost.
17:21By now, he was already across the border, beyond anyone's reach.
17:25Elowen stood there frozen and speechless.
17:28If you keep making trouble here, his warriors will personally kick you out.
17:32She stared at my neck.
17:34You actually bonded with him?
17:36A blind monster and a broken man on a shell throne?
17:41I guess trash belongs with trash!
17:43I remembered him standing tall in that golden light, holding me tight.
17:47He is stronger and kinder than any of them.
17:50What are you laughing at?
17:52I'm laughing at your stupidity.
17:54When Killian falls, he'll take you down with him.
18:00If you want to live, break your soul bond with them right now.
18:05I stepped aside and easily dodged her.
18:07She lost her balance and slammed into the ground, covered in dust.
18:11Remember this failure.
18:13Next time you touch me, it won't be just a fall.
18:16She looked up at me, shaking with fear.
18:18For the first time, she was truly afraid of me.
18:22The blind girl she used to bully was gone forever.
18:24Alaric was waiting for me on his floating throne.
18:27I walked back to him and met his deep, sea-gray eyes.
18:30There was no worry in his eyes, only pure admiration.
18:34From now on, anyone from Killian's side is banned forever.
18:38No exceptions.
18:39We left immediately for Thorny Trench.
18:41My eyes were locked on one person.
18:44Vaughn, Alaric's most trusted guard.
18:49I tilted my head, sensing a strange aura nearby.
18:53Deep in his soul, a dark, dangerous gray fog was swirling.
18:56I leaned into Alaric's ear and whispered,
18:59Alaric, who is that man standing in the shadows?
19:02That's Vaughn.
19:03He's been with me since I was 15.
19:05He saved my life twice.
19:07I stared at him through the darkness.
19:09Alaric, do you trust me?
19:10His soul suddenly exploded with a deep, burning red light.
19:14Absolute trust.
19:15You are my soulmate.
19:16Of course I trust you.
19:18Vaughn is a traitor.
19:19He works for Killian's secret ally.
19:22Change our route to Thorny Trench.
19:24Don't tell anyone but me.
19:25In my past life, we were ambushed on the priest's path.
19:28You died in a pool of blood.
19:30I stopped talking and let my lips brush against his cheek like a feather.
19:34Alaric grabbed my waist and pulled me tight against him.
19:37I felt Vaughn staring at us, but he quickly looked away in guilt.
19:40Alaric buried his face in my neck, his breath hot on my skin.
19:45Are you trying to heal my legs again, Vesper?
19:49I'm happy to wait until tonight.
19:51Or we can start right now if you're in a hurry.
19:54The next morning, Vaughn was gone forever.
19:57At breakfast, Alaric naturally peeled a deep sea crab for me.
20:01You were right.
20:02Vaughn was a mole.
20:03I never suspected him for seven years.
20:05He looked at me with curiosity.
20:07Vesper, how did you know?
20:09I looked at his golden, loving soul and smiled.
20:12Just a lucky guess.
20:13Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my brain.
20:16I can't.
20:16It felt like fire.
20:17Take it anymore.
20:17It was the price for using my soul eyes.
20:19I tried to hide it.
20:20Alaric didn't say a word.
20:21He just moved naturally.
20:22One hand kept fixing my food, while the other held the back of my neck.
20:27The headache vanished instantly.
20:28He never asked why I was in pain.
20:30He just protected me every time it happened.
20:33Thorny Trench was Alaric's territory.
20:35It was poor, but it was a place of true freedom.
20:38The people there were loyal and lived by their hearts.
