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