New Dragon King’s Regret After I Left
Category
🎥
Short filmTranscript
00:02I was just a slave, but every night, I replaced the queen to sleep with Dragon King Blake.
00:09On the bed, I begged the king to mark me, make me one of his mates.
00:14Please make me your wife.
00:16He dismissed it.
00:17You are but a slave.
00:19To serve me is already your greatest honor.
00:22I closed my eyes in despair.
00:24Everyone knows the king's deep affection for the queen.
00:26So the next day, I pleaded with the ancient dragon lady, begged to mate with his eldest son, King Blake's
00:33dying brother.
00:34The ancient dragon lady warned me, once you mate him, you will never be able to escape.
00:41You will guard his body until the end of your life.
00:45I will never regret it.
00:46Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the queen and King Blake's faces turn deathly pale.
00:51Blake came to Queen Kate's bedchamber again.
00:54The two nestled together under the lamplight, their breaths mingling, exchanging intimate words for a long time.
01:01Queen Kate, her face slightly flushed, rose to bathe.
01:05Before leaving, as usual, she extinguished all the lights in the palace.
01:10Ten minutes later, I pushed open the door and entered.
01:12The palace was dim.
01:20Why so slow, your body so cold?
01:23I said softly.
01:24I stood outside for a while.
01:25Actually, I had been standing outside the palace in only a single layer of clothing, just in case I needed
01:31to go in for Queen Kate.
01:40A night of turmoil.
01:42Before dawn, I left silently.
01:44Queen Kate was waiting for me in a side hall.
01:47I knelt down, enduring the aches and pains all over my body, and repeated Blake's words from the night before,
01:53word for word.
01:54Queen Kate's gaze fell on the marks on my neck, her expression slowly darkening.
01:58She didn't speak.
01:59She simply returned to the main hall.
02:01She quietly lay down beside King Blake.
02:04The Blake suddenly opened his eyes.
02:08Going to see other dragons behind my back.
02:11His tone was teasing.
02:16Queen Kate was extremely beautiful, but her dragon body was weak.
02:20Therefore, no one dared to form a bond with her.
02:23At the banquet, the Blake fell in love with her at first sight,
02:26publicly proposing marriage and welcoming her into the kingdom as his principal wife.
02:31They seemed to be deeply in love, a match made in heaven.
02:34As her attendant, I was genuinely happy for her.
02:38But on their wedding night, Queen Kate fainted on the bed.
02:42King Blake possessed a strong dragon nature, which Queen...
02:45Every night when the lights are off, I'll replace her to sleep with King Blake.
02:50In the darkness, dragons rely solely on their aura.
02:55Of all her attendants, only I are most similar to her in figure and voice.
03:01One form.
03:01After three years, she will give me a sum of spirit stones so I can leave the kingdom.
03:07I am a born dragon, bound by a blood pact, returned to my side room,
03:13quickly cleaned myself of the marks, and then went to the main hall to prepare breakfast.
03:18As soon as I stepped into the hall, King Blake's gaze fell upon me.
03:22His tone was indifferent, yet scrutinizing.
03:25What are you wearing?
03:26I didn't know how to respond for a moment, and could only lower my head and purse my lips.
03:31Last night, he had lost control terribly.
03:34When his dragon nature surged, it never restrained itself.
03:38There were too many marks left on my body, which I could only cover with a high-necked robe.
03:43Queen Kate gently nudged him, her voice soft.
03:47Your majesty has forgotten.
03:49Charlotte has been silenced.
03:51He cannot speak.
03:52I immediately lowered my head and nodded obediently.
03:55In the kingdom, everyone thought I was a lowly dragon descendant whose voice had been sealed.
04:00This was her order to me.
04:02It was also the shackles she had placed upon me.
04:05As long as I didn't speak, no one would suspect who my substitute was at night.
04:10King Blake raised an eyebrow slightly.
04:12This little thing in your courtyard is quite exquisite.
04:15Rather pitiful.
04:17Queen Kate's smile faltered for a moment.
04:19She looked at me.
04:20Her eyes filled with suppressed malice.
04:23What does your majesty mean?
04:25Could it be you've taken a liking to her?
04:27King Blake chuckled.
04:28I haven't even blamed you yet.
04:30And you're already blaming me.
04:32As he spoke, he raised his arm.
04:34Take a look for yourself.
04:36His sleeve slipped down.
04:40Is this what you left last night?
04:42My pupils contracted.
04:44My body instantly stiffened.
04:47Last night he was too ruthless.
04:49I was driven to the brink of suffocation.
04:51And in a moment of loss of control, I bit him hard.
04:56But to him, it was nothing more than flirting.
04:59He was King Blake, a veteran of countless battles, his body covered in old wounds.
05:05These marks meant nothing to him.
05:06I knelt down, forehead to the ground.
05:09My body was ice cold.
05:10I don't know how much time passed.
05:12A cup of tea was splashed on me.
05:14I shuddered slightly from the burn.
05:16The next instant, a slap landed heavily.
05:19What do you think you are?
05:20A lowly dragon descendant cares to leave a mark on his majesty?
05:24Do you want to replace me?
05:26I had no time to explain.
05:28She waved her hand.
05:29Drag her away.
05:31Lock her in the ceiling chamber.
05:32It was a seal cage used to hold dragons.
05:35My consciousness gradually faded.
05:37Until late on the third day, a small voice came from outside the door.
05:42Sister.
05:42It was Anna and my only family.
05:44Sister, what did you do to anger Queen Kate?
05:47Her voice trembled.
05:49She was clearly terrified.
05:50I shook my head.
05:51I didn't explain.
05:52When will his majesty return?
05:55The guards said his majesty will return to the palace tonight and will go directly to Queen Kate.
06:01I breathed a sigh of relief.
06:02What has happened outside?
06:04The crown prince whose dragon soul was sealed is getting worse.
06:07Even the dragon healer says he won't last much longer.
06:11Above King Blake is another legitimate royal heir.
06:14However, his dragon soul was damaged from childhood and his life force has been steadily weakening.
06:19That's why King Blake ascended the throne.
06:22I heard a soul binding ceremony will be held for him.
06:25But once bond, that person will never be able to break freeze for the rest of their life.
06:29They will be bound by his dragon soul until death.
06:33The path I was about to walk had no turning back.
06:36Bound by his soul, I would live the rest of my life bound by the dragon soul.
06:40At dinner time, I was released.
06:42Queen Kate ordered spirit food to be prepared for me, allowing me to rest for a while.
06:47Charlotte, I punished you in a fit of anger.
06:50I intended to confine you for half a day, but I was busy and forgot.
06:54Please don't blame me.
06:55I dare, can't.
06:57Queen Kate nodded slightly.
06:59After a moment, she was a little bit of a while.
06:59A moment of silence.
07:00I finally couldn't wait any longer and took the initiative to suggest leaving the kingdom.
07:05You want to leave?
07:06My dragon body haven't fully recovered.
07:09His majesty still can't without you.
07:11I looked up sharply.
07:12She had clearly promised only three years.
07:15Queen Kate suddenly smiled.
07:16If you insist on leave, then Anna will take your place.
07:20You are sisters.
07:21Your aura and voice are similar.
07:24Store old is she?
07:26Thirteen?
07:29I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave.
07:32After a long while, I heard my teeth chattering.
07:34Then, could his majesty grant me a title?
07:39A title?
07:40Queen Kate sneered.
07:41You dare to challenge me?
07:43If I were to choose a for his companion I would have a hundred to choose from, you wouldn't be
07:47a chance.
07:48Don't even dream of following his majesty's path.
07:52In Hazari, you're nothing blayant.
07:54In his eyes, you're nothing but a plaything.
07:57Even if one day he suddenly decides to make you his bound servant,
08:01she smiled lightly,
08:02I could make you disappear with a flick of my finger.
08:05I could barely breathe.
08:08But, dragon bloodlens must ultimately be paid.
08:11Am I to be her substitute for life?
08:13There is a low-ray dragon servant in the outer palace about you at your age.
08:18Once your blood pact is complete, you will be given to him.
08:22Just then, the dragon king returned, and the queen stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
08:26Your majesty is back.
08:28These past few days on patrol must have been tiring.
08:31She said softly,
08:32That girl accidentally broke the dragon crystal cup presented as tribute from the western territory.
08:37I punished her by making her kneel for a moment.
08:39He looked weary, his eyes cold.
08:41How is the crown prince doing?
08:42Queen Kate sighed softly.
08:44These past few days I've asked every woman in the kingdom.
08:47Your majesty.
08:49To be honest, the matter of soul binding is too terrifying.
08:53No one is willing.
08:54King Blake frowned.
08:55What's there to be unwilling about?
08:57Just pick one, and control her through a blood pact.
09:00Queen Kate hesitated slightly.
09:02What if the dragon lady finds out?
09:04With a generous reward, someone will be willing.
09:07Under pressure, things can also be accomplished.
09:10My mother doesn't like you.
09:12If you can handle this this well, she will change her mind.
09:15Queen Kate agreed softly.
09:17Every time he returned from inspecting the dragon realm, King Blake would lose control.
09:22That night, I exhausted almost all my strength to please him.
09:26He was provoked to the point of losing control several times, chuckling as he gripped my waist.
09:33Why are you being so proactive today?
09:36Missed me?
09:37I didn't answer.
09:38I just struggled to sit up and placed a trembling kiss on his cheek.
09:42Such initiative was rare for me.
09:44King Blake sighed softly.
09:46Good girl.
09:47Dawn was approaching.
09:48I gradually came to my senses, trying to push him away with my weak hands.
09:52But he pulled me into his arms.
09:54Still trying to leave?
09:55I froze.
09:56King Blake pressed his cheek against mine, his tone low and dangerous.
10:00I am extremely sensitive to scent.
10:03Your trick.
10:06With Queen Kate.
10:07He chuckled.
10:08I knew it all along.
10:10My mind went blank.
10:12So that's how it is.
10:14No wonder.
10:15No wonder he became more and more audacious.
10:18Because he knew from the beginning.
10:20I am not her.
10:22So he already knew the person beneath him wasn't Queen Kate.
10:26So naturally, he didn't need to restrain himself.
10:29I tried to speak, but could not utter a word.
10:32The Dragon King saw my predicament and lifted the silencing curse.
10:37Then your majesty, when do you plan to give me a dragon seal?
10:41A dragon seal?
10:42King Blake chuckled.
10:44You are Queen Kate's attendant.
10:46Such a thing can only be bestowed by her.
10:49His tone was lazy, tinged with amusement.
10:52If I were to give it to you personally, wouldn't that ruin my relationship with her?
10:57He looked down at me.
10:58What's your name?
10:59I'll have someone send you some jewels later.
11:02Once Queen Kate's body recovers, I'll consider making you her bound attendant.
11:07I closed my eyes and smiled softly.
11:09Why give a title to someone who can be possessed for free?
11:12Queen Kate was right.
11:14Affection on the bed is never worth anything.
11:16Seeing my prolonged silence, King Blake laughed.
11:19What?
11:20Are you so happy you've gone mad?
11:22I laughed out loud.
11:23Unbeknownst to me, tears had already fallen.
11:26Thank you for your kindness, your majesty.
11:29I'm afraid I don't have that fort.
11:31King Blake paused slightly.
11:32His tone instantly turned cold.
11:34You were only used by me for a few years.
11:37Don't think too highly of yourself.
11:38One companion isn't enough?
11:40Do you also want to become the Dragon Queen?
11:42You also consider your master's dignity.
11:45He had never liked greedy women.
11:46His tone was already tinged with anger.
11:49In the kingdom, he wasn't without companions.
11:51Most of them were of medium bloodline.
11:53Like me, a low-ranking Dragon descendant.
11:56I didn't even qualify to be a bound companion.
11:59Moreover, since Queen Kate entered the kingdom, he had never publicly favored anyone else.
12:04Everyone says,
12:05King Blake is restrained and calm, not succumbing to desire.
12:09He is deeply in love with Queen Kate.
12:11He always seems pleased to hear this.
12:13Behind Queen Kate lies the power of the clan.
12:16If he were to take his mistress's attendant as a companion, it would be tantamount to ruining his reputation.
12:22The more I think about it, the clearer I become, and the more desperate I feel.
12:26Those words just now were merely a casual act of pity after he had satisfied his desires.
12:31Once he calms down, he will definitely regret it.
12:34After all, he is the one who will rule the Dragon Realm with Queen Kate for life.
12:39I whispered,
12:39This servant is of lowly birth.
12:41I dare not presume to ask for the Dragon Seal.
12:44Staying by His Majesty's side is unworthy.
12:47I only wish that His Majesty and Queen Kate-
12:50My voice was so soft, it was almost inaudible.
12:52To be together forever.
12:53Anna heard that Queen Kate was going to marry me off to the Outer Palace Dragon Servant.
12:58She wept uncontrollably.
13:00We've served her for so long.
13:03How could she do this?
13:04That Outer Palace Dragon Servant, born with a brain deficiency like a young dragon, yet possessing a violent temper.
13:11He loves to tear apart the weak.
13:13If I were given to him, I would never be able to escape.
13:16Even survival would be a luxury.
13:18I remained silent for a long time, only saying one sentence.
13:22I have a way.
13:23I knelt before the Dragon Lady's palace.
13:25I'll bond with dying royal heir.
13:28The Dragon Lady was greatly surprised, yet secretly delighted.
13:33She inquired about my name, bloodline, and origins.
13:37She also summoned a dragon sorcerer to perform divination.
13:41When the dragon pattern array lit up, the light almost resonated with the royal dragon's breath.
13:45The sorcerer nodded repeatedly.
13:47Although this woman's bloodline is low, it is extremely compatible with Your Highness.
13:51Their destinies complement each other.
13:53If a soul bond is formed, it will benefit the royal dragon soul.
13:57King Blake and Queen Kate quickly arrived upon hearing the news.
14:01Is this her?
14:02The one willing to bind with my brother?
14:04King Blake's voice carried amusement.
14:05She is indeed kind-hearted.
14:07Mother should reward her handsomely.
14:09I turned around.
14:10You?
14:11Weren't you silenced?
14:13The Dragon Lady has already released her.
14:15It's just that Queen Kate doesn't like my voice.
14:18She forb-
14:19You will have to guard him for the rest of your life.
14:22Have you thought it through?
14:24I will never regret it.
14:26Out of the corner of my eye, King Blake's hand slowly tightened.
14:29He stared intently at me, as if seeing me clearly for the first time.
14:35Child, what do you want?
14:37Whether it's treasure or status.
14:41Anything I can give, I'll give it to you.
14:43I looked up.
14:45At Queen Kate.
14:46Her gaze was icy.
14:47She forced a smile.
14:48But instinctively, she took a step back.
14:51My voice was calm.
14:52I have a younger sister.
14:54Her name is Anna.
14:55I request that she be allowed to serve in the Dragon Lady's palace.
14:59She's just a servant.
15:00I'll take her.
15:03Don't worry.
15:04I won't mistreat her.
15:06Queen Kate's face stiffened.
15:08She forced a smile and began.
15:10Mother, Anna is a servant I brought.
15:12Just Dragonborn.
15:13King Blake coldly interrupted.
15:14Just a lowly Dragonborn.
15:16If Mother wants her, then give her.
15:19Is there any need for further explanation?
15:23The Dragon Queen's expression was also grim.
15:26Coldly staring at Queen Kate, without uttering a word.
15:30Queen Kate bit her lip and ordered someone to retrieve my blood pack with Anna.
15:35Anna was taken into the Dragon Queen's palace.
15:37Becoming her close attendant.
15:39The Dragon Queen told me that before her demise, she would arrange a safe haven for Anna.
15:44I only wanted to free Anna from Queen Kate's control.
15:47But I didn't expect the Dragon Queen to be so concerned.
15:50Even arranging her future.
15:51Grateful, I promised to serve Kevin wholeheartedly.
15:55She spoke of her ill-fated eldest son.
15:57The Dragon Queen couldn't help but choke back tears.
16:00When she was pregnant with him, the Southwestern Dragons rebelled.
16:04The Dragon Realm was in turmoil.
16:06The old Dragon King personally led his army to suppress the rebellion.
16:10The battle was perilous, and he nearly perished.
16:13The Dragon Queen was filled with anxiety day and night.
16:16Therefore, when the child was born, all dragon breath was gone.
16:21He should not have been born.
16:22But that very night, the old Dragon King returned in triumph.
16:26They also brought back a Dragon Sorcerer from the depths of the continent's dense forests.
16:31That man's methods were bizarre.
16:33He forcibly summoned back the Dragon Soul using forbidden magic.
16:38He actually pulled a royal son who should have perished back into the world.
16:42This was a joyous occasion.
16:44Yet, it was also a curse.
16:47The Dragon Sorcerer had said that this act would be abhorred by the gods.
16:52Even if he survived, he would only live for 30 years.
16:56Indeed.
16:57Kevin was born.
16:58He should have inherited the kingdom's throne.
17:00But as he grew older, his Dragon Soul weakened more and more.
17:06Ultimately, he no longer left his dwelling.
17:09He was placed on the azure lake behind the kingdom, in a secluded meditation hall.
17:15Since I have agreed to the soul binding, I will stay by his side.
17:19I'd heard he disliked others being near him.
17:21In the entire Jade Lake Palace, only one Dragon Mage accompanied me.
17:26It was the same person from back then.
17:28When the Dragon Mage led me into the inner hall, he was still asleep.
17:33My gaze fell on his slightly trembling eyelashes.
17:37He was two years older than King Blake.
17:40The two didn't resemble each other.
17:42King Blake was a veteran of countless battles.
17:44His dragon breath fierce and his aura imposing.
17:48But his skin was extremely pale.
17:50His features were delicate.
17:52He possessed an almost fragility that didn't belong to the dragon race.
17:56If you ignored his lineage, he even looked more like a human.
18:01I asked the Dragon Mage about his habits, temperament, and everything that needed to be avoided.
18:06At sunset, he finally awoke.
18:08It was time to take his medicine.
18:10Following the Dragon Mage's instructions, I had been brewing the elixir all day.
18:14Now I placed it before him.
18:15I knelt down.
18:16He raised both hands high.
18:18Your Highness, please take your medicine.
18:20He glanced at me.
18:21His tone was flat.
18:22You're the one who will be bound to me after my death?
18:24Yes.
18:25He said calmly.
18:26Rise.
18:27I stood beside him.
18:28Please take your medicine, Your Highness.
18:29He reached out and took the bowl.
18:31He flipped it gently.
18:32The thick black liquid was poured into a vase beside him.
18:35He looked up.
18:36A smile played on his lips.
18:38I don't want to drink it.
18:39He smiled provocatively.
18:40What can you do to me?
18:41I looked at him silently.
18:43The Dragon Sorcerer had said he was a man of deep emotions and strong principles.
18:47I had asked him what he meant.
18:48The Dragon Sorcerer simply smiled.
18:50He told me an old story.
18:51He said that this Kevin had displayed astonishing talent since childhood.
18:55At 13, he won first place in the Bloodline Trials.
18:58At 15, the kingdom was shaken.
19:00His name resounded among all races.
19:02He should have been the perfect heir.
19:04But just before his ascension, he was cultivating with King Blake on the lake.
19:07He accidentally fell into the lake.
19:09His dragon soul went out of control.
19:12The Dragon Lady was furious.
19:13She executed all his attendants.
19:16From that day forward, he forbade anyone to approach him.
19:19I understood.
19:20He wasn't heartless.
19:21He was simply tired of implicating others.
19:24The fact that the Dragon Mage had stayed by his side for so many years was enough to explain everything.
19:29And now, he knew I was bound to him.
19:32Yet he attacked me.
19:33A ridiculous thought crept into my mind.
19:35Seeing me staring at him, his smile faded slightly.
19:38Why are you staring at me like that?
19:40I didn't answer.
19:41I simply brought back another bowl of medicine.
19:44Your Highness, I truly cannot do anything to you.
19:47But since I am destined to be bond to you sooner or later...
19:50I lowered my head, gently stirring the medicine.
19:52My voice was calm.
19:53How about...
19:54He paused for a moment.
19:56Let me try my rights as a partner first.
19:58He seemed completely taken aback by my words.
20:01His gaze fell upon me, with obvious scrutiny.
20:04I looked up at him.
20:05Or drink the medicine now.
20:06He chuckled softly.
20:07A dangerous glint in his eyes.
20:09What do you want?
20:10I pressed my lips tightly together.
20:12The Dragon Mage had told me that Kevin had refused to take any elixirs for six months.
20:16Which was why he had weakened to this state.
20:19If this continued, he probably wouldn't last much longer.
20:22I hesitated for a few seconds.
20:24The next moment, I suddenly reached out and pressed my hand against his chin.
20:29Gently touching his cheek.
20:31His body temperature was extremely low.
20:34Like an empty shell drained of Dragon's breath.
20:37In the instant our breaths mingled, I involuntarily trembled.
20:40His body leaned back slightly.
20:42His Adam's apple protruded.
20:44So thin it seemed about to pierce his pale skin.
20:47When I looked up again, his face was flushed with an eerie red.
20:51His eyelashes trembled slightly, with suppressed anger.
20:54I suddenly remembered King Blake's teasing of the human nun.
20:57Her expression then, a mixture of shame and resentment, overlapped with this one.
21:02My heart skipped a beat.
21:03A pang of guilt rose within me.
21:05But I had promised the Dragon Lady to take care of him.
21:08I suppressed my racing heart.
21:09Forced composure.
21:11If your highness doesn't take the medicine.
21:12My voice was low.
21:13I'll do it again.
21:14He glared at me fiercely.
21:16After a long while, suddenly he snatched the medicine bowl from my hand.
21:20He drank it all in one gulp.
21:21The Dragon Sorcerer was overjoyed to see him finally taking the medicine.
21:26I bent down to wipe the remaining medicine from his lips.
21:29The distance between us suddenly closed.
21:31Out of the corner of my eye, I saw his pale, thin hand gripping the corner of the blanket tightly.
21:36As if he was suppressing something.
21:40Your highness's weaving has stabilized, considerabilized these past few days.
21:43And your body is no longer as cold as before.
21:45It's all thanks to the elixirs.
21:47These things are meaningless.
21:49The Dragon Mage, it has worked extremely hard to brew the medicine for you.
21:52If you keep refusing to drink it, he will be very sawn.
21:55I held out my hands.
21:56Your highness, look.
21:57My once fair fingers.
21:59The elixirs need to be tested for temperature repeatedly to avoid harming the dragon's breath.
22:03Now covered in scalded blisters.
22:05I've only been learning for a few days, and my hands are like this.
22:08His gaze fell on them.
22:09He was silent for a moment.
22:10Then he frowned and drank the rest of the medicine in the bowl.
22:13From that time on, he never refused to take medicine again.
22:17Half a month later, the Dragon Mage reported his condition to the Dragon Lady.
22:21Why the sudden improvement?
22:22Could it be just a final burst of energy?
22:26Dragon Lady need not worry.
22:27His prightness has truly recovered.
22:29However, it is indeed thanks to Charlotte.
22:31I said before, though her bloodline is low, it complements his prices.
22:36In the Great Hall, all eyes instantly fell on me.
22:40Daenerys' expression softened.
22:42She gestured for me to sit beside her.
22:44She asked him,
22:46How well has Charlotte served you?
22:48He was silent for a moment.
22:49He said softly,
22:51She has taken very good care of me.
22:53Her gaze towards me grew even gentler.
22:55Queen Kate suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled.
22:57Your highness is unaware of this.
23:00When Charlotte was in my palace, her skill in serving King Blake was also excellent.
23:07The air froze for a moment.
23:09I tried my best to remain calm, but my hands trembled uncontrollably.
23:13He looked up.
23:14He glanced at her coldly.
23:16Who are you mocking?
23:18The Dragon Queen's face instantly darkened.
23:21Queen Kate.
23:23Though you are young, you should not be so rude.
23:25King Blake suddenly spoke.
23:27With my mother and brother here, when did it become your place to speak?
23:31Queen Kate's eyes reddened slightly.
23:33She lowered her head and remained silent.
23:35A few days later, Anna rushed to find me.
23:38Her expression was tense.
23:40Queen Kate has found a stutitude again.
23:43This time, it wasn't a servant from the palace.
23:45I was taken aback.
23:46It was what it was doing from outside.
23:48Their aura, their voice.
23:50Everything that was exactly that hers.
23:53I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave.
23:56After a long while, I heard my teeth chattering.
23:59Then, could his majesty grant me a title?
24:03A title?
24:04Queen Kate sneered.
24:05You dare to challenge me?
24:07If I were to choose a for his companion, I would have a hundred to choose from.
24:11You wouldn't be a chance.
24:13Don't even dream of following his majesty's path.
24:16In Hazari, you're nothing bliant.
24:18In his eyes, you're nothing but a plaything.
24:21Even if one day he suddenly decides to make you his bound servant,
24:25she smiled lightly,
24:26I could make you disappear with a flick of my finger.
24:29I could barely breathe.
24:31But dragon bloodlings must ultimately be paid.
24:35Am I to be her substitute for life?
24:37There is a low-ray dragon servant in the outer palace about your age.
24:42Once your blood pact is complete, you will be given to him.
24:46Just then, the dragon king returned,
24:48and the queen stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
24:50Her majesty is back.
24:52These past few days on patrol must have been tiring, she said softly.
24:56That girl accidentally broke the dragon crystal cup,
24:58presented as tribute from the Western Territory.
25:01I punished her by making her kneel for a moment.
25:03He looked weary, his eyes cold.
25:05How is the crown prince doing?
25:06Queen Kate sighed softly.
25:08These past few days, I've asked every woman in the kingdom.
25:11Your majesty.
25:13To be honest, the matter of soul binding is too terrifying.
25:17No one is willing.
25:18King Blake frowned.
25:19What's there to be unwilling about?
25:21Just pick one, and control her through a blood pact.
25:24Queen Kate hesitated slightly.
25:26What if the dragon lady finds out?
25:28With a generous reward, someone will be willing.
25:31Under pressure, things can also be accomplished.
25:34My mother doesn't like you.
25:36If you can handle this this well, she will change her mind.
25:39Queen Kate agreed softly.
25:41Every time he returned from inspecting the dragon realm,
25:44King Blake would lose control.
25:46That night, I exhausted almost all my strength to please him.
25:50He was provoked to the point of losing control several times,
25:54chuckling as he gripped my waist.
25:57Why are you being so proactive today?
26:00Missed me?
26:01I didn't answer.
26:02I just struggled to sit up and placed a trembling kiss on his cheek.
26:06Such initiative was rare for me.
26:08King Blake sighed softly.
26:10Good girl.
26:11Dawn was approaching.
26:12I gradually came to my senses,
26:14trying to push him away with my weak hands.
26:16But he pulled me into his arms.
26:18Still trying to leave?
26:19I froze.
26:20King Blake pressed his cheek against mine,
26:22his tone low and dangerous.
26:24I am extremely sensitive to scent.
26:27Your trick.
26:30With Queen Kate.
26:31He chuckled.
26:32I knew it all along.
26:34My mind went blank.
26:36He was thin.
26:38Standing in the night wind,
26:39he looked too frail.
26:41I went back to get my cloak.
26:43I walked into a winding corridor.
26:45Suddenly, someone slammed me against a sternum.
26:48My mouth was covered.
26:50My eyes widened.
26:52In the darkness,
26:53King Blake's face suddenly drew closer.
26:56His narrow eyes held a hint of ferocity.
27:00He interrogated me, word by word.
27:04Are you really hurt?
27:05His grip tightened suddenly.
27:08He held my chin firmly.
27:10Speak.
27:11Trying to pretend you're silenced in front of me?
27:14His fingertips were icy.
27:16Yet, they coiled around my face like venomous snakes.
27:20I turned my head away in disgust.
27:22But he forcibly turned it back with a single finger.
27:26You think you can get away by not speaking?
27:29His voice was low.
27:30Is it her?
27:31He stared at me.
27:32His gaze was scorching.
27:34I'll only need to touch you one more time.
27:37And I'll know.
27:38My pupils constricted.
27:40Has he gone mad?
27:42I had already agreed to form a soul bond with his brother.
27:45From that moment on, I belonged to his brother.
27:49How dare he?
27:52King Blake stared intently at me.
27:55His voice was as cold as a blade.
27:57The woman I used for three years has become my brother's companion in the flink of an eye.
28:00He could barely contain his rage.
28:02How dare you deceive both of us brothers at the same times?
28:06Especially me.
28:07Isn't staying by my shide as a servant's better than guarding a dying dragon's body?
28:11You truly willing to be bound to a dead dragon?
28:14I finally couldn't hold back.
28:15I shoved him away violently.
28:17Her voice trembled.
28:19If I don't do this, Queen Kate will be betrothed to that insane, low-rankled dragon servant.
28:25Once betrothed, I will completely lose all possibilities.
28:28Even if he changes his mind later, he can no longer give me any identity.
28:34I will forever remain a being that cannot see the light of day.
28:37Trapped in darkness.
28:39Bearing all Queen Kate's desires.
28:41Yet never threatening her in the slightest.
28:43This is her true scheme.
28:45King Blake was clearly unaware.
28:47His expression faltered slightly.
28:49In that instant, I skevamed hard on his foot.
28:52I turned and fled.
28:54Stumbling and staggering all the way.
28:56Until I returned to a place with lights.
28:59At that moment, Kevin's figure appeared in my sight.
29:02He stood at the end of the corridor, quietly looking at me.
29:06His brows furrowed slightly.
29:08Why did you take so long?
29:09My heart suddenly calmed down.
29:11I smiled.
29:12I walked over and draped an outer robe over him.
29:16The dragon sorcerer chuckled beside me.
29:18It's late.
29:19His Highness was worried something might happen to you, so he insisted on coming to find you.
29:23He gave a soft hum.
29:25His voice was extremely low.
29:27I was just afraid she'd fallen into the lake and disturbed the fish.
29:31I made him a wheelchair.
29:32I pushed him around the lake.
29:34It was better than being confined to his bed all day.
29:36A grove of green bamboo grew on one side of the corridor.
29:40He'd pick up a book and sit quietly for a while.
29:42Me?
29:43I leaned against the stone, basking in the warm sun, drowsy.
29:47Suddenly, I heard his voice.
29:49Why are you bound to me?
29:50I awoke from my half-dream.
29:52I sat up.
29:53He had already closed the book.
29:54He looked at me intently.
29:56My mind went blank.
29:57After a moment, I spoke.
29:58I don't want to be given to that mad dragon servant.
30:01He lowered his eyes.
30:02His tone was slightly cold.
30:04I knew it.
30:04And then, he stopped looking at me.
30:07I was fully awake.
30:09Yet, an inexplicable unease lingered in my heart.
30:12His dragon breath gradually stabilized.
30:15The dragon mage prepared to go out and collect rare medicinal herbs, just in case.
30:20Before leaving, he gave me a thin wooden box.
30:23Inside the box was a worm the size of a thumb.
30:25This is a treasure of the Southwest Dragon Clan.
30:29If anything happens, crush this.
30:31No matter where I am, you will be able to sense me.
30:35I nodded and accepted it.
30:37Before leaving, he chuckled and joked.
30:40Shouldn't I change my address and call you the new dragon lady?
30:43I smiled bitterly.
30:45Please don't tease me.
30:46Soulbond.
30:47It wasn't a normal marriage contract after all.
30:50Even if he truly perished, Kevin's consort position wouldn't fall to a lowly dragon like
30:55me.
30:55My final destiny will likely be guarding the dragon's body deep within the dragon palace.
31:01This was the unspoken exchange between me and the dragon lady.
31:04After the dragon mage left, suddenly my responsibilities multiplied.
31:09For example, changing his robes and regulating his dragon breath.
31:13The first time I wiped his body, his ears turned red and he struggled, almost angrily,
31:18insisting on doing it himself.
31:20I stared at his reddened earlobes.
31:22I couldn't help but wonder, had he never allowed any servants near him?
31:28Don't you feel ashamed?
31:30I smiled bitterly where he couldn't see.
31:32If I were still a girl who hadn't experienced these things, perhaps I would still feel ashamed.
31:38Unfortunately, I am no longer.
31:40There's a word I've thought about for a long time.
31:42Later I saw it in a book.
31:44Only then did I understand what it meant.
31:46Those women who have lost their purity, that's what they are.
31:49I sat there, chin in hand, lost in thought.
31:52Suddenly, someone gently draped a coat over my shoulders.
31:55I turned around.
31:57His hand was on the pages of a book.
31:59What nonsense are you looking at now?
32:01I felt a little guilty.
32:03I hid the book behind my back.
32:04He had a vast collection of books, and he cherished them greatly.
32:08Yet he allowed me to browse freely.
32:10When he was in a good mood, he would even teach me himself.
32:13I told him what I had noted down, like asking for a reward.
32:17His tone carried a casual smile.
32:20Not bad.
32:20I was a little dissatisfied.
32:22You're like you're coaxing a child.
32:24How old are you this year?
32:28Eighteen.
32:29He said seriously.
32:30I'm almost ten years older than you.
32:33To me, you're still a child.
32:36I was speechless for a moment.
32:38I actually felt he had a point, for a fleeting moment.
32:41I was lost in thought, unconsciously.
32:44I had been by his side for almost two years.
32:47In these two years, his body, though still weak, had gradually stabilized.
32:52The dragon mage concocted many new elixirs for him.
32:55Every day he would set up array patterns in the room, using secret techniques to stabilize his dragon soul.
33:01That day, before the dragon clan's grand ceremony, the dragon mage asked him to make a wish.
33:07But he looked at me.
33:09You wish for me?
33:10I froze.
33:11Many thoughts flashed through my mind.
33:13Finally, I whispered.
33:15I wish you could be happy.
33:17He asked softly.
33:18What kind of happiness?
33:20I thought for a moment.
33:21To get better.
33:22To marry a partner of high bloodline.
33:25The lamplight flickered.
33:26He asked softly.
33:28Are you serious?
33:29I looked away.
33:30Whether it was genuine or not didn't really matter.
33:33What mattered was, the god the dragon sorcerer spoke of seemed to have truly come true.
33:41I was not sure.
