After My Slumber, Gods Repent
Transcript
00:00:02I am Evelyn, the most revered goddess of Asgard.
00:00:06I have three older brothers who dolt on me endlessly.
00:00:10Calder, the eldest, commands the sun and is Asgard's most dazzling figure.
00:00:16Oliver, the second, was born blind and rules the night.
00:00:20Cyril, the third, is the swiftest of all and spoils me the most, always saving the best for me.
00:00:27But today, I've decided to sacrifice my divine soul and leave them forever.
00:00:33I willingly offer up my divine soul as a sacrifice.
00:00:36Your Lord Calder's most beloved sister, the goddess Evelyn?
00:00:40Your brothers will lose their minds if they find out you're doing this!
00:00:43Yeah, they did say they'd protect me for the rest of my life.
00:00:47But that was a long time ago.
00:00:4924 years ago, divine fire burned my home to the ground.
00:00:53I thought I'd be swallowed by the flames too.
00:00:55But right then, they appeared.
00:00:58Don't be afraid.
00:00:59From now on, we are your family.
00:01:01I thought I'd finally found happiness.
00:01:10Evelyn, we bless you with our primal divine power.
00:01:14May you be happy forever.
00:01:16My precious girl, we're gonna make you the most carefree soul in all the heavens.
00:01:21These memories were so beautiful, they almost made me forget that I am just a girl they took in.
00:01:28This blissful dream shattered the moment.
00:01:31They brought back their biological sister, Ella.
00:01:34Ayla, my sweet daughter.
00:01:35Don't you worry.
00:01:36Mom will make sure you're the happiest, most carefree girl in the entire divine realm.
00:01:42Darling, we'll make up for everything you've suffered.
00:01:44No matter what happens, we'll protect you forever.
00:01:47I watched them pour every ounce of their love into Ella.
00:01:51It is true, an adopted daughter means nothing.
00:01:54Forced to choose, mom, father, and my brothers were always going to pick their own flesh and blood.
00:02:03Ella purposely smashed the crystal ball my brothers gave me, and even framed me for hitting her.
00:02:09No matter how hard I tried to explain, my family refused to believe a word, I said.
00:02:15How dare you harm Ella!
00:02:16I might be blind, but I can feel the sheer malice radiating from you.
00:02:20You've disappointed us all.
00:02:21Evelyn, I was blind to think you actually had a kind heart!
00:02:26She's my daughter!
00:02:27Who gave an adopted stray the right to touch her?
00:02:30If there's a next time, I'll banish you from Asgard forever!
00:02:36I knew I was just a burden to them now.
00:02:39Since I don't matter anymore, let me do one last thing for them.
00:02:43The corruption from the world tree's abyss had started seeping into the divine powers of the gods.
00:02:48Only the Evelyn ritual, created by my eldest brother Calder, and named after me, can purify this corruption.
00:02:56And I will be the ritual's sacrifice, to repay the debt I owe them.
00:03:00Offering myself to my brother's ritual is the only way I can pay them back.
00:03:04The high priest begged me to reconsider, warning me that the abyssal frost would freeze me for 3,000 years.
00:03:11Or maybe, I'd just never wake up.
00:03:13David couldn't talk me out of it.
00:03:15He finally agreed to send someone to escort me to the sacrifice.
00:03:19In three days, on the day I come of age.
00:03:22This is the pact of sacrifice.
00:03:24Once you enter the ritual, your divine soul will vanish entirely.
00:03:28Not even your family, not even Lord Calder will be able to trace you.
00:03:36Three more days, and I'll vanish from this world forever.
00:03:40I trudged back to the temple, exhausted.
00:03:42Passing by the garden, I saw Ella looking pale, leaning weakly into Calder's arms.
00:03:48Their bond as siblings is so strong.
00:03:52Suddenly, my vision went dark, and my knees buckled.
00:03:56I could feel the divine power rippling, violently, inside me.
00:04:00The lingering aftermath of saving Cyril from the nether springs.
00:04:04Calder's eyes locked onto mine.
00:04:06For a split second, I thought he'd rush over to me, like he used to.
00:04:10But then Ella clutched her chest, crying out in pain.
00:04:14Calder's attention instantly snapped back to her.
00:04:17Save the pity act, Evelyn.
00:04:19We're sick and tired of your pathetic little shows.
00:04:22Cyril, the brother who used to spoil me the most,
00:04:25he said I was just faking it to get sympathy.
00:04:28And Calder actually believed him.
00:04:33Once upon a time, just a single cough from me would send them into such a panic.
00:04:39They'd summon enough healers to fill the entire temple.
00:04:42Now, I collapse right in front of them, and they can't even be bothered to spare me a glance.
00:04:49Even if I vanish without a trace, you guys wouldn't care anyway would you?
00:04:54If I just disappear, all it means is one less eyesore around the house.
00:05:00Maybe that is for the best.
00:05:02That way, you'll all be nothing but happy from now on.
00:05:08In my dream, my brothers still doted on me, calling me Asgard's eternal little princess.
00:05:15I selfishly soaked in that lost tenderness, crying like a baby.
00:05:20But when I woke up, only my pet Molly and my servant Vary were by my side.
00:05:26I guess I really mean nothing to my brothers anymore.
00:05:29Molly?
00:05:31Vary?
00:05:33Evelyn!
00:05:34Thank goodness you're awake!
00:05:37When they rushed in, my heart leaped.
00:05:40I actually thought they were worried about me.
00:05:43Let's not waste time here.
00:05:44Ella is waiting for us.
00:05:45But I was wrong again.
00:05:47They had rushed back all the way from the battlefield.
00:05:50Just because they heard Ella caught a cold, and accidentally walked into the wrong room.
00:05:56Ella's room is right next to mine.
00:05:58Their laughter pierces through the walls, stabbing at my heart.
00:06:02Watching this picture of a happy family, feels like a knife, twisting in my gut.
00:06:07A precious divine tree fruit.
00:06:10Mom used to give them to me.
00:06:12Saying nothing in the world, was as precious as I was.
00:06:15Clearly, she didn't mean it.
00:06:18My brothers are glued to Ella's side, refusing to leave for even a second.
00:06:23They used to guard me exactly like that.
00:06:25So, from the very beginning, I was just a placeholder.
00:06:29A cheap knockoff to keep them company until the real deal came back.
00:06:33But I still have three days left.
00:06:36Three days to say my final goodbye to this family.
00:06:39That gave me warmth, only to snatch it, right back.
00:06:44This is fantastic!
00:06:46We finally found a willing sacrifice!
00:06:48My family got the news that a volunteer for the sacrifice was found.
00:06:52But they had no idea.
00:06:53It is me.
00:06:54Would they even be sad if they knew?
00:06:56I don't know.
00:06:57By the way, we haven't seen Evelyn in a while.
00:07:00I wonder how she's holding up.
00:07:01She's still family, after all.
00:07:03We should go check on her.
00:07:05I'm coming with you.
00:07:06Occasionally, they do still think of me.
00:07:09But...
00:07:11I should have died in that war.
00:07:13They brought me back to Asgard, and showed me that being alive could actually be wonderful.
00:07:18But I forgot.
00:07:19Even the sweetest candy can turn toxic when it expires.
00:07:24Fairy...
00:07:24Do you think they'll grieve for me after I sacrifice myself?
00:07:28Oh, Evelyn...
00:07:30What am I even hoping for?
00:07:31They have Ella now.
00:07:35If I could do it all over again...
00:07:39I'd rather never have been part of this family.
00:07:44So being part of our family makes you miserable?
00:07:47No, that's not what I meant!
00:07:49We shouldn't have even bothered coming!
00:07:50You've truly let us down.
00:07:52We treated you like our own flesh and blood.
00:07:54And you're still this ungrateful?
00:07:55Stop!
00:07:56Lady Evelyn cares so deeply about all of you!
00:08:00She hurries!
00:08:03I was just talking nonsense.
00:08:04I'm sorry.
00:08:06If she had said one more word, they'd know I am the sacrifice.
00:08:10They already hate me.
00:08:11Finding out the truth won't change a single thing.
00:08:15Oliver!
00:08:15I finally found a way to cure your eyes!
00:08:18Oliver and the others were absolutely thrilled.
00:08:22I smiled too, but the tears fell before I could stop them.
00:08:25Oliver!
00:08:27You'll finally be able to see!
00:08:29The moment Oliver heard my congratulations, his smile faded.
00:08:33Yeah.
00:08:35Pretty soon I won't need you to be my eyes anymore.
00:08:37His words stabbed into my heart like an icicle.
00:08:41He has completely forgotten the promise we made about eyes all those years ago.
00:08:46Don't be scared.
00:08:47I'll be your eyes.
00:08:49Okay.
00:08:49He is finally going to see the world and to give him that light.
00:08:53I traded away the very last thing I had left.
00:08:56Can I ask you one more thing?
00:08:59After my sacrifice, can my eyes be used to break Oliver's curse?
00:09:02The curse can only be broken by someone who genuinely loves Oliver and willingly offers their eyes.
00:09:07If it's you, I'm certain it will work.
00:09:10Stop solling!
00:09:12Today is a day for the whole divine realm to celebrate!
00:09:15My ritual finally has a willing sacrifice!
00:09:17I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
00:09:20The sacrifice he is referring to is me.
00:09:23Turns out, my dying sacrifice actually makes them so happy.
00:09:28We're throwing a massive banquet in Asgard in three days to celebrate.
00:09:32They completely forgot.
00:09:33That is the day I come of age, too.
00:09:36You'd better show up.
00:09:37After all, the ritual is named after you.
00:09:41Okay.
00:09:49When the very walked in carrying the starlight crown,
00:09:53a tiny flicker of hope sparked in my dead heart.
00:09:56Barry said, my brothers hadn't forgotten me.
00:09:58You are my one and only goddess.
00:10:00On your coming of age day,
00:10:01I'll have the god of forging craft you a crown unlike any other in the world.
00:10:05I held on to that promise for twenty years,
00:10:07but the second my fingertips brushed the starlight,
00:10:11Ayla suddenly pushed me away.
00:10:13This is from my brothers!
00:10:14Keep your filthy hands off it!
00:10:18Evelyn, who gave you permission to touch Ayla's things?
00:10:21So the crown wasn't for me at all.
00:10:23It was Calder's gift to Ayla.
00:10:26I'm sorry.
00:10:27I thought it was for me.
00:10:30There's a limit to being selfish, Evelyn.
00:10:32Do you honestly think everything in Asgard belongs to you?
00:10:34God, I am such a fool.
00:10:37To still hold on to any illusions about them.
00:10:40Ayla put on this frail,
00:10:41wavering act,
00:10:42pretending she'd give the crown to me.
00:10:44That instantly set the whole family off.
00:10:47My adoptive mother hugged Ayla,
00:10:49screaming that she was her one,
00:10:51and only daughter,
00:10:52and the father who used to look at me,
00:10:55with such love.
00:10:56He pointed right at my face,
00:10:58and ordered me to place the crown,
00:11:00on Ayla's head,
00:11:01myself,
00:11:02and apologize.
00:11:03My heart completely died.
00:11:05I couldn't even feel the pain anymore.
00:11:08Watching my trembling back,
00:11:10Calder's eyes were full of impatience as he snapped.
00:11:13Don't let it happen again.
00:11:15Don't let it happen again.
00:11:16Don't worry, Calder.
00:11:18There won't be a next time.
00:11:20Styro thought I was still resentful,
00:11:22and arguing with Ayla,
00:11:24so he angrily knocked me to the ground.
00:11:26The box holding the contract in my arms fell out.
00:11:29They saw it.
00:11:39How is it possible?
00:11:41The sacrifice is you?
00:11:51My heart!
00:11:53It hurts so much!
00:11:54Calder almost found the pact,
00:11:56but Ayla's scream drew everyone's attention away.
00:12:00She seemed to grow weaker,
00:12:01so my father and brothers demanded I give my room to her.
00:12:05My room has the purest energy,
00:12:07which would help her recover.
00:12:09Evelyn,
00:12:10give this room to Ayla.
00:12:14Ayla is frail!
00:12:15Are you seriously gonna fight her over a bedroom?
00:12:18Stop throwing tantrums, Ayla!
00:12:20Fine.
00:12:21I'll move.
00:12:23Then...
00:12:24Where am I supposed to sleep?
00:12:26There's an empty guest room in the side palace.
00:12:28You can stay there for now.
00:12:29But the side palace has been falling apart for years.
00:12:32It's unlivable.
00:12:33Then go clean it up for her right now.
00:12:35Understood?
00:12:37I get it.
00:12:38Let's go, fairy.
00:12:40When I walked past Ayla,
00:12:42she flashed a sweet smile and whispered to me,
00:12:45You're just a stray they picked up.
00:12:47You'll never compare to me.
00:12:48It doesn't matter where I sleep anymore.
00:12:50I won't be here for more than three days anyway.
00:12:57How could they make you sleep here?
00:13:21How could they make you sleep here?
00:13:23There's a place for me in this family for a long time.
00:13:27Where is Molly?
00:13:28She never wanders off for this long.
00:13:31I asked Vary if she'd seen her.
00:13:34But she hadn't.
00:13:35Something felt horribly wrong.
00:13:37No.
00:13:38I have to find her.
00:13:39When I rushed out,
00:13:40Calder was using his healing light on the back of Ella's hand.
00:13:43You must tell us immediately.
00:13:45I'm sorry for making you all worry.
00:13:47I just wanted to pet it,
00:13:48but it went crazy and plunged at me.
00:13:51Have you guys seen Molly?
00:13:52You have the nerve to bring up her?
00:13:55Look what it did to Ella.
00:13:56I tried desperately to explain that Molly would never attack someone for no reason.
00:14:01That only made my brothers angrier.
00:14:03Are you calling Ella a liar?
00:14:05You're the one who gave Molly to me.
00:14:07You know her temper better than anyone.
00:14:09Who knows?
00:14:10People change,
00:14:12let alone a dumb animal.
00:14:14If you guys don't care,
00:14:16I do.
00:14:18Did we go a little too far?
00:14:21I spoke out of anger.
00:14:23Come on,
00:14:23let's go help her look.
00:14:27My Molly is dead.
00:14:29I failed to protect her.
00:14:31When I shakily pushed aside the rubble,
00:14:33I found Molly lying lifeless in the gravel,
00:14:36soaked in blood.
00:14:42Do you like it?
00:14:43I prepared this gift especially for you.
00:14:46Ella killed my Molly with her own hands.
00:14:49My poor Molly.
00:14:50I will make her pay.
00:14:51I wanted to kill her,
00:14:52but my third brother,
00:14:54Cyril,
00:14:55rushed over,
00:14:56violently,
00:14:56yanked me away.
00:14:58Cyril even had the audacity to say,
00:15:00I'll just get you another one later,
00:15:02all right?
00:15:07All right?
00:15:08No.
00:15:09Molly was one of a kind.
00:15:11No one can ever replace her.
00:15:14Molly was the very first gift Cyril ever gave me.
00:15:18Back then,
00:15:18he wasn't the monster he is now.
00:15:21This is for you.
00:15:22When we can't be around,
00:15:23she'll keep you company.
00:15:24I thought she'd be by my side for the rest of my life.
00:15:27But now,
00:15:28she is gone too.
00:15:29It is okay.
00:15:30Molly,
00:15:31I'll be joining you very soon.
00:15:33Kneeling before Molly's grave,
00:15:35my divine power had almost dried up,
00:15:37and my body swayed violently.
00:15:39Then my vision went completely black,
00:15:41and I collapsed from exhaustion.
00:15:42Right before I passed out,
00:15:44I saw Oliver throw away his hand,
00:15:46and stumble toward me.
00:15:48Was that really him?
00:15:49I even heard Calder and Cyril calling out to me.
00:15:52Am I dreaming?
00:15:53Oh,
00:15:53no.
00:15:54It feels real.
00:15:56Evelyn,
00:15:57you're awake.
00:15:58They're all here with me,
00:16:00and they even brought me a beautiful gown.
00:16:02Did they actually remember today?
00:16:03Is my coming of age day.
00:16:05Do you guys remember what day today is?
00:16:08Of course.
00:16:09Today's the celebration for Calder's ritual,
00:16:11finally finding a sacrifice.
00:16:13Right.
00:16:14I expected too much.
00:16:15I never should have gotten my hopes up.
00:16:18Calder just noticed the wooden box by the bed.
00:16:21Oh,
00:16:22no.
00:16:22My sacrifice pact is inside.
00:16:25What's this?
00:16:33My heart almost stopped watching Calder reach for that box.
00:16:37Thankfully,
00:16:38the guard interrupted me.
00:16:38Lady Ella says her divine powers are unstable again.
00:16:42Cyril told me before he left that he'd find me another divine beast exactly like Molly next time.
00:16:47But Cyril,
00:16:48I don't have a next time.
00:16:51At the banquet,
00:16:52the gods raised their glasses,
00:16:54cheering for my impending death.
00:16:56Thank you all for coming.
00:16:57Let's raise a glass to our mysterious sacrifice.
00:17:00Then,
00:17:01Calder looked tenderly
00:17:02at Ella.
00:17:03He said only a true goddess
00:17:05could bring blessings to the divine realm.
00:17:07So he changed the ritual's name from the Evelyn ritual
00:17:10to the Ella ritual.
00:17:12The crowd erupted in applause.
00:17:15Oliver and Cyril were smiling
00:17:16and clapping too.
00:17:18I stood in the corner,
00:17:19watching my statue in the center morph
00:17:22into Ella's face
00:17:23in a flash of golden light.
00:17:26In that moment,
00:17:26it hit me.
00:17:28The place by their side
00:17:29would never belong to me again.
00:17:32Ella,
00:17:33I heard Oliver's eyes are cursed
00:17:34and he'll never be able to see again.
00:17:36Is it true?
00:17:37Of course it's true.
00:17:42Oliver!
00:17:42I'm over here!
00:17:43Come quick!
00:17:44Oliver didn't know what was happening.
00:17:46Seeing him about to walk
00:17:47right into the divine fire,
00:17:49I rushed over
00:17:50and pushed him out of the way.
00:17:52Evelyn!
00:17:53Are you crazy?
00:17:55How could you push Oliver like that?
00:17:57Everyone crowded around.
00:17:58I tried to explain
00:17:59that I was saving him,
00:18:01but even Oliver didn't believe him.
00:18:03No, I didn't!
00:18:05Oliver,
00:18:06you almost walked right into the fire!
00:18:07I was just-
00:18:07Save your breath, Evelyn.
00:18:09If it was really dangerous,
00:18:10why would Ella tell me to come over?
00:18:14Besides, why would you ever risk your life to save me?
00:18:17Because I would.
00:18:19Two years ago,
00:18:20Oliver and I snuck into Vanaheim to play.
00:18:22His hand was about to brush
00:18:24against a brightly colored,
00:18:26poisonous plant.
00:18:27I threw myself in front of him,
00:18:30using my own body as a shield.
00:18:32Evelyn?
00:18:32What's wrong?
00:18:33Are you hurt?
00:18:35I'm fine.
00:18:36Don't worry.
00:18:38I'm just a blind burden.
00:18:39You only need to worry about protecting yourself.
00:18:41Really, I'm okay.
00:18:43Don't worry, Oliver.
00:18:44I'll always protect you.
00:18:46What did you do this time?
00:18:47Ella hypocritically squeezed between me and Cyril,
00:18:50pretending to beg for mercy.
00:18:51Do you have any idea how pitifully Molly screamed before she died?
00:18:55I crushed her bones,
00:18:57piece by piece, and then...
00:18:59Hearing about Molly's death,
00:19:01I lost my mind.
00:19:02I screamed and lunged at her,
00:19:04but I never expected her to secretly conjure a blade,
00:19:07grab my hand,
00:19:08and plunge it right into her own shoulder.
00:19:11Blood sprayed everywhere
00:19:12as she fell with a shriek.
00:19:17My father was furious.
00:19:19He blasted me with golden light,
00:19:21knocking me to the ground.
00:19:23They surrounded me,
00:19:24calling me vicious and ungrateful.
00:19:26Only Oliver had no idea.
00:19:29Ella is your sister.
00:19:31How did I raise such a vicious monster?
00:19:33We gave you every luxury,
00:19:35and this is how you repay us?
00:19:37We treated you so well,
00:19:39and this is how you pay us back?
00:19:41You ungrateful wretch!
00:19:42No, it's not like that.
00:19:44Enough!
00:19:45I never should have brought you to Asgard in the first place!
00:19:48Why won't any of you believe me?
00:19:49Evelyn,
00:19:50you are no longer fit to stay in Asgard.
00:19:53In the name of Odin,
00:19:55father of the gods,
00:19:56I banish you from Asgard forever!
00:20:01Father, don't do this.
00:20:03She's still our sister.
00:20:04Evelyn, just admit you were wrong,
00:20:06and everyone will forgive you.
00:20:07Admit I was wrong.
00:20:08What did I do wrong?
00:20:10Was my mistake believing their broken promises,
00:20:13and now it is time to fix it.
00:20:15I accept my banishment.
00:20:19Evelyn, what are you saying?
00:20:20Are you serious?
00:20:21Ha, fine!
00:20:23Get out and never come back!
00:20:25Thank you for taking care of me all these years.
00:20:28Goodbye.
00:20:29I never thought the day I came of age
00:20:31would also be the day
00:20:32I said my final goodbye to them.
00:20:34Are we really not going to talk her back?
00:20:36She has nowhere else to go.
00:20:37She'll come back once she cools off.
00:20:39She needs to be taught a lesson this time.
00:20:41Let her realize her true place.
00:20:44No, I won't.
00:20:46After today,
00:20:47I'll never be coming back.
00:20:48Evelyn!
00:20:49Today is your coming of age day.
00:20:51This is my gift to you.
00:20:53All of Asgard wants me gone.
00:20:55Vary is the only one who still remembers what today is.
00:20:59Before I leave,
00:21:00I want to visit one last place.
00:21:02A place only my brothers and I know about.
00:21:08Nobody ever comes up here.
00:21:10From now on,
00:21:11this is our secret base.
00:21:14Oliver,
00:21:15what do you have there?
00:21:17It's a whispering conch.
00:21:19From now on,
00:21:19it'll hold all our secrets and promises.
00:21:22The conch remembers all the promises they made.
00:21:25I remember them too.
00:21:27They're the only ones who forgot.
00:21:29Calder said he'd always be on my side.
00:21:32But just now,
00:21:33he said he never should have brought me back.
00:21:35Oliver thanked me for being his eyes,
00:21:38saving him from darkness.
00:21:40But yesterday,
00:21:40he said he didn't need me anymore.
00:21:42And Cyril,
00:21:43he doesn't treat me like a princess anymore.
00:21:46He called me selfish.
00:21:48I am the only one
00:21:49who still remembers.
00:21:51Let our memories be buried here.
00:21:53Forever.
00:21:57It seems my brothers regretted it after I left.
00:22:00At this grand ceremony,
00:22:01we were supposed to seal the star bottle together
00:22:04as a family,
00:22:05but Calder refused.
00:22:07He said,
00:22:07I was part of this family too.
00:22:10My other family members thought the same.
00:22:12They decided to wait until I returned home.
00:22:15But they didn't know
00:22:16that I would never return home.
00:22:18Calder is right.
00:22:19Let's wait until Evelyn gets back
00:22:21to seal the bottle.
00:22:22I agree too.
00:22:24Wait.
00:22:25What,
00:22:26what day,
00:22:27what day is it today?
00:22:28The seventh day of the Asgardian month.
00:22:31Why?
00:22:32Oh no.
00:22:34Today is Evelyn's coming of age day.
00:22:38Damn it.
00:22:39How could we forget such an important day?
00:22:41And on this very day,
00:22:43we humiliated and banished her.
00:22:45No,
00:22:46I have to go find her.
00:22:47They finally remembered.
00:22:49Today is my birthday.
00:22:50The day I come of age.
00:22:52But,
00:22:53it is also the day of my sacrifice.
00:22:55They won't find me,
00:22:56because I went to a place
00:22:58they would never think to look.
00:22:59Evelyn.
00:23:09Stepping into the sacrificial array,
00:23:11I saw the hands Calder,
00:23:13Oliver,
00:23:13and Cyril reached out to me
00:23:15when I was little.
00:23:16Don't be afraid.
00:23:17From now on,
00:23:18we are your family.
00:23:19But,
00:23:19I also saw the way
00:23:21they screamed at me.
00:23:22Enough!
00:23:23I never should have brought you
00:23:24to Asgard in the first place.
00:23:26We gave you every luxury,
00:23:27and this is how you repay us?
00:23:30You ungrateful wretch!
00:23:31You are no longer fit to stay in Asgard.
00:23:34In the name of Odin,
00:23:35father of the gods,
00:23:36I banish you from Asgard forever!
00:23:45Goodbye, my family.
00:23:47I won't be a burden to you anymore.
00:23:51She's not here either.
00:23:53Where the hell did she go?
00:24:07How can I still see my brothers?
00:24:10Is this my soul?
00:24:11Calden's fingers stopped
00:24:12just an inch away
00:24:13from the wooden box.
00:24:14He was so close.
00:24:16The box holding my sacrifice pat,
00:24:18holding the entire truth.
00:24:20Just as he was about
00:24:21to lift the lid,
00:24:22Vary walked in.
00:24:25Vary, tell us,
00:24:26where did Evelyn go?
00:24:27We've been looking
00:24:27everywhere for her.
00:24:28They finally thought of me.
00:24:30Miss Evelyn has suffered enough.
00:24:32She went out to clear her head
00:24:33and doesn't want to see anyone.
00:24:35Only after I disappeared for good.
00:24:37Doesn't want to see us?
00:24:38I knew it.
00:24:39She's just hiding on purpose,
00:24:41trying to force us
00:24:42to apologize to her.
00:24:43You completely broke her heart!
00:24:45Today is Evelyn's
00:24:46coming of age day.
00:24:47Not only did you all forget,
00:24:49but you publicly banished her
00:24:50from Ella's sake!
00:24:51That really was our oversight.
00:24:52So what?
00:24:53It's just a ceremony.
00:24:54We can just make it up to her,
00:24:55can't we?
00:24:56Make it up?
00:24:57So in their eyes,
00:24:58my coming of age ceremony
00:24:59was just some trivial event
00:25:00they could easily make up for.
00:25:02But in the end,
00:25:03they still compromised.
00:25:05Since she wants to throw a tantrum,
00:25:07we'll wait for her to cool off.
00:25:08When she gets back,
00:25:09tell her we'll throw
00:25:10a delayed ceremony for her,
00:25:11but it has to be in three days.
00:25:13You really spoil her.
00:25:13Because before that,
00:25:14we have to clear the curse
00:25:15from Oliver's eyes.
00:25:16That is what truly matters.
00:25:18Let's go!
00:25:22Aveline,
00:25:23where are you?
00:25:24The first person I want to see
00:25:25when I open my eyes
00:25:26is you.
00:25:27But Oliver didn't know that.
00:25:29For him to see,
00:25:30I traded away my own life.
00:25:38Miss Evelyn,
00:25:39you're never coming back.
00:25:42This is the last thing
00:25:44I could do for you.
00:25:48It's been a day
00:25:49since my sacrifice
00:25:50and my family
00:25:51still hasn't heard the news.
00:25:52I guess they just don't care.
00:25:55Still,
00:25:55today is a happy day.
00:25:57Oliver's eyes
00:25:58will finally be freed
00:25:59from their curse today.
00:26:00Oliver can finally see.
00:26:02I'm so happy for him.
00:26:03He had never seen
00:26:04the light before.
00:26:05Back then,
00:26:05I promised to be his eyes
00:26:07and I kept my promise.
00:26:08Brother,
00:26:09you can finally see.
00:26:10I prayed day and night
00:26:11to the World Tree.
00:26:12It must have moved the sacrifice
00:26:13to willingly give their eyes to...
00:26:14No!
00:26:14How could Ella
00:26:16be the one
00:26:16who healed Oliver's eyes?
00:26:17It was me!
00:26:18Carden!
00:26:20Serial!
00:26:20Ella is lying!
00:26:22Did Evelyn not come?
00:26:23Ella almost died for you
00:26:25and you're only thinking
00:26:25about Evelyn?
00:26:27See that?
00:26:28She didn't even bother
00:26:29to show up
00:26:30for your big moment.
00:26:31Alright,
00:26:31today is a great day.
00:26:33Oliver got his sight back.
00:26:34Let's not bring up
00:26:35things that spoil the moment.
00:26:36They called me
00:26:37a mood killer,
00:26:37but they don't know
00:26:39that I can never show up
00:26:40to any occasion
00:26:40ever again.
00:26:43Why
00:26:43do these eyes
00:26:45make me think
00:26:45of Evelyn?
00:26:46Because those eyes
00:26:48are mine, Oliver.
00:26:49You can feel it?
00:26:51Can you see me then?
00:26:54Drink your medicine, Oliver.
00:26:56The healer said
00:26:57the curse could only
00:26:58be broken by a donor
00:26:59who genuinely cared
00:27:00and willingly offered
00:27:00their eyes.
00:27:01But there might be
00:27:02rejection symptoms.
00:27:03This herbal brew
00:27:04will help soothe it.
00:27:08No!
00:27:09Ella,
00:27:10what did you do?
00:27:11I gave that to Oliver!
00:27:14What have you done?
00:27:16Ella flinched violently
00:27:17at his harsh yell,
00:27:18almost dropping the bowl.
00:27:20Then,
00:27:20right on cue,
00:27:21she started crying,
00:27:22whining defensively
00:27:23about how Oliver
00:27:24could yell at her
00:27:24over a broken rock.
00:27:26It's just a broken rock!
00:27:27How could you yell
00:27:27at me over that?
00:27:28But Oliver
00:27:29completely ignored her,
00:27:30just staring at the shards
00:27:32on the floor.
00:27:33Oliver,
00:27:33do you remember?
00:27:34That was the crystal
00:27:35I carved for you
00:27:36with my own hands.
00:27:37Why does my heart
00:27:37ache so much
00:27:38seeing it shattered?
00:27:41Oliver closed his eyes
00:27:43and pointed at the door.
00:27:44He ordered Ella out,
00:27:46his voice cold as ice.
00:27:48Get out!
00:27:52After Ella left,
00:27:53Oliver crouched down,
00:27:55his hands trembling
00:27:56as he picked up
00:27:56the crystal shards.
00:27:58The sharp edge
00:27:59sliced his fingerpip,
00:28:00and a drop of blood
00:28:01fell onto the fragments.
00:28:02When I was polishing
00:28:04this crystal for him
00:28:05back then,
00:28:06I cut my hand too.
00:28:14Oliver,
00:28:14I made this crystal for you.
00:28:16It brings peace and joy,
00:28:18and it'll help you relax.
00:28:20Thank you, Evelyn.
00:28:21Evelyn,
00:28:22where on earth
00:28:23did you go?
00:28:26I'm right here,
00:28:27Oliver.
00:28:39I'm right here,
00:28:42May Asgard be forever
00:28:43bathed in glory,
00:28:45and may my family
00:28:46be forever happy.
00:28:47Seeing the blessing
00:28:48I left behind,
00:28:50Oliver's fingers clenched,
00:28:51crumpling the parchment.
00:28:54He turned to the wardrobe
00:28:56and found all my things
00:28:57sitting perfectly inside.
00:28:59I hadn't taken
00:29:01a single thing with me.
00:29:03This is the winter cloak
00:29:04I gave her.
00:29:05She hates the cold
00:29:06more than anything.
00:29:07How could she not
00:29:08even take this?
00:29:09Because I couldn't
00:29:10take it, Oliver.
00:29:12The place I was going
00:29:13is colder and lonelier
00:29:15than the void.
00:29:16Besides,
00:29:18you gave it to me.
00:29:19I couldn't bear
00:29:20to get it dirty.
00:29:21Miss Evelyn
00:29:21didn't take anything.
00:29:25She didn't even
00:29:26want her own life anymore,
00:29:27so why would she
00:29:28want any of that stuff?
00:29:29Vary,
00:29:30what the hell
00:29:30do you mean by that?
00:29:33Oliver pressed Vary,
00:29:34desperate to know
00:29:35where I went.
00:29:36But it was useless.
00:29:38He's never going
00:29:39to find me again.
00:29:41Explain yourself!
00:29:42What exactly
00:29:43happened to Evelyn?
00:29:44Oliver,
00:29:45you are finally
00:29:45starting to panic.
00:29:47But do you know
00:29:47panicking now
00:29:48is already too late.
00:29:49Oliver sensed
00:29:50something happened to me.
00:29:52He went to Calder
00:29:53and Serial,
00:29:54wanting Cotter
00:29:55to send people
00:29:55to track me down.
00:29:57But Card and Serial
00:29:58didn't seem to care at all.
00:30:00She brought that on herself.
00:30:02Who told her to hurt
00:30:03Ella and cut ties with us?
00:30:05Siric,
00:30:05don't be like that.
00:30:07Evelyn was just jealous
00:30:08that you gave your love
00:30:09to me.
00:30:10That's why she did it.
00:30:11You guys should go
00:30:12look for her.
00:30:13No,
00:30:14I won't be jealous anymore.
00:30:15I won't ever beg
00:30:17for their love again.
00:30:18Ella,
00:30:18you're way too kind.
00:30:19Still speaking up for her
00:30:20at a time like this.
00:30:21I absolutely refuse
00:30:22to go look for her today.
00:30:23The makeup ceremony
00:30:24is in three days.
00:30:25She'll be back for it.
00:30:26Let's just let her
00:30:27cool off on her own
00:30:27for now.
00:30:28Let's go,
00:30:29Ella.
00:30:29I'll take you back to rest.
00:30:30They all think
00:30:31I'm just throwing a tantrum.
00:30:33That in three days,
00:30:34I'll naturally come
00:30:35crawling back
00:30:36to accept their
00:30:36pathetic makeup ceremony.
00:30:38But that's never
00:30:39going to happen.
00:30:41Calder and Cyril
00:30:42were completely certain
00:30:43I wasn't in any danger.
00:30:44They really thought
00:30:46I was just hiding
00:30:46in some corner,
00:30:47waiting for them
00:30:48to coax me out.
00:30:51Stop overthinking it,
00:30:52Oliver.
00:30:53Cyril is right.
00:30:53This is Asgard.
00:30:55What could possibly
00:30:56happen to Evelyn here?
00:31:00Is that Vary?
00:31:01She's grieving for Molly.
00:31:03I knew it.
00:31:04Vary is the only one
00:31:05in all of Asgard
00:31:06who truly treated me well.
00:31:08Vary?
00:31:09Are you praying for Molly?
00:31:12How could they think
00:31:13she's just praying?
00:31:15Molly was brutally
00:31:16killed by Ella
00:31:17and they still
00:31:18don't know?
00:31:19Praying?
00:31:20I'm grieving for Molly.
00:31:23Miss Ella murdered Molly
00:31:24and didn't even leave
00:31:25a single bone intact.
00:31:27Vary,
00:31:28even if you say it,
00:31:29they won't believe you.
00:31:30What nonsense
00:31:30are you spouting?
00:31:31Molly went crazy
00:31:31and bit Ella.
00:31:32Ellis is the victim here.
00:31:33Has she been terrified enough?
00:31:35See?
00:31:36I told you so.
00:31:39I know your heart
00:31:40aches for Evelyn
00:31:41but please stop
00:31:42making wild accusations.
00:31:45Besides,
00:31:46Cyriak already said
00:31:47he'd find Evelyn
00:31:48an identical divine beast.
00:31:49Even if it's identical
00:31:51it will never be
00:31:52the same one.
00:31:55Once lost,
00:31:57some things
00:31:57can never come back.
00:31:59Molly can't come back.
00:32:01And I
00:32:02can never
00:32:03come back either.
00:32:07For my sake,
00:32:08Vary was publicly
00:32:09reprimanded by Calder
00:32:10and Serial.
00:32:11Serial pointed at her,
00:32:13burning with rage.
00:32:14I've tolerated you
00:32:14only because Evelyn likes you.
00:32:16But remember this,
00:32:17you are just a servant.
00:32:19You have absolutely
00:32:20no right to judge
00:32:21the bond between us
00:32:22and Evelyn.
00:32:23Remember your place.
00:32:24I won't punish you today.
00:32:26But if you ever
00:32:27slander Ella again,
00:32:28I'll make sure
00:32:29you face the consequences.
00:32:31I watched Vary
00:32:32trembling on the ground,
00:32:33crying so bitterly.
00:32:34I'm sorry, Vary.
00:32:36I'm the one
00:32:36who brought this on you.
00:32:38Only Oliver
00:32:38took another look at Vary.
00:32:40His eyes held
00:32:41a hint of doubt.
00:32:42Oliver,
00:32:42are you finally willing
00:32:43to use the eyes
00:32:44I gave you
00:32:45to see things clearly?
00:32:46Vary's grief
00:32:47is definitely not faked.
00:32:49If Ella
00:32:49was really the victim,
00:32:50Vary
00:32:51wouldn't be saying this.
00:32:52I have to look into this.
00:32:54Please, Evelyn,
00:32:55if you're really
00:32:55hiding something from us,
00:32:56give me a sign.
00:32:58I didn't know
00:32:59what was happening
00:33:00to Oliver,
00:33:00but when he opened
00:33:01his eyes again,
00:33:02a faint golden halo
00:33:03rippled through the room.
00:33:04And right there
00:33:05at the desk,
00:33:06my phantom appeared.
00:33:08Evelyn?
00:33:08Well, the phantom
00:33:09didn't turn around
00:33:10but whispered.
00:33:11It was theorial,
00:33:12like it was coming
00:33:13from far away.
00:33:14Oliver,
00:33:14by the time
00:33:15you see this letter,
00:33:16your eyes
00:33:17should be fully healed.
00:33:18Don't be sad.
00:33:19If I am destined to leave,
00:33:20then let this be
00:33:21the last thing
00:33:22I do for you.
00:33:23Evelyn!
00:33:24Covering his eye
00:33:24for the pain,
00:33:25Oliver struggled
00:33:26to his feet
00:33:26and walked toward the desk.
00:33:28His hand passed
00:33:29right through my phantom,
00:33:30and then it dissipated.
00:33:31Oliver stood frozen
00:33:32by the desk,
00:33:33cold sweat
00:33:33rolling down
00:33:34his forehead.
00:33:35Was that an illusion?
00:33:37Or was it real?
00:33:43It's really the letter?
00:33:45Oliver,
00:33:46you found the very last thing
00:33:48I left behind.
00:33:50Just
00:33:51much later
00:33:52than I expected.
00:33:54Oliver opened my letter.
00:33:56He finally knew
00:33:57the truth behind his sight.
00:33:59Could it be?
00:34:01Was it really
00:34:02Elliman who broke
00:34:03the curse on my eyes?
00:34:04You're finally starting
00:34:06to suspect
00:34:06the so-called truth,
00:34:07Oliver.
00:34:08But you're too late.
00:34:09Oliver rushed out
00:34:10like a madman,
00:34:11sprinting all the way
00:34:13to the world tree.
00:34:14He grabbed
00:34:14High Priest David,
00:34:15his eyes bloodshot
00:34:17and voice trembling
00:34:18as he demanded answers.
00:34:19High Priest David,
00:34:21tell me,
00:34:21who was the willing
00:34:23sacrifice?
00:34:24Was it Evelyn?
00:34:25Lord Oliver,
00:34:26according to the rules,
00:34:27I cannot reveal
00:34:28the identity
00:34:28of the sacrifice
00:34:29to anyone.
00:34:32Please go back.
00:34:34Don't brush me off!
00:34:36Tell me, please!
00:34:38I'm sorry, Lord Oliver.
00:34:39Now that you've regained
00:34:40your sight,
00:34:41please cherish it.
00:34:42Do not let their sacrifice
00:34:43be in vain.
00:34:48Let my intentions
00:34:50go to waste.
00:34:51They already have.
00:34:57Evelyn.
00:35:01I'm begging you,
00:35:01Evelyn.
00:35:02Please let me see you
00:35:03one more time.
00:35:03You're begging me,
00:35:04Oliver.
00:35:04But back then,
00:35:05when I begged you all
00:35:06to believe me,
00:35:07did any of you listen?
00:35:12Miss Evelyn,
00:35:13if they only knew
00:35:13the whole truth,
00:35:14how devastated
00:35:15would they be?
00:35:16Right now,
00:35:17he's just sad.
00:35:19When he actually
00:35:20finds out what it
00:35:20cost me to give him
00:35:21these eyes,
00:35:22he's going to
00:35:23completely break down.
00:35:24And that day
00:35:25is coming soon.
00:35:28Miss Evelyn,
00:35:29if they only knew
00:35:29the whole truth,
00:35:30how devastated
00:35:31would they be?
00:35:33David is definitely
00:35:34hiding something
00:35:34from me.
00:35:35He's acting
00:35:36way too strange.
00:35:38Is the truth
00:35:39finally going
00:35:40to come out?
00:35:41How will Calder
00:35:42and Sirian react?
00:35:43I held my breath
00:35:44in suspense,
00:35:45even though I
00:35:45longer need to breathe.
00:35:47Calder!
00:35:47Sirian!
00:35:48I know everything!
00:35:49My eyes healing
00:35:50wasn't some miracle!
00:35:51It was Evelyn!
00:35:52Just as I expected,
00:35:53Sirian didn't believe him.
00:35:55He shook off
00:35:55Oliver's hands,
00:35:56mocking him that...
00:35:57Your eyes may be better,
00:35:58but your brain's
00:35:58gone to mush.
00:35:59Listen to me.
00:36:00Evelyn is the
00:36:01mysterious sacrifice.
00:36:03She gave me her eyes
00:36:04before she disappeared,
00:36:05and that's the only reason
00:36:06my curse is broken.
00:36:08Otherwise,
00:36:09she cares about me
00:36:10too much to just
00:36:10vanish without a trace!
00:36:12Ella looked at Oliver
00:36:12with a dark,
00:36:13complex expression.
00:36:14I knew she was panicking.
00:36:15I stared at her coldly.
00:36:16Ella,
00:36:16I cannot stand how
00:36:17you've blinded my brothers
00:36:18with your lies.
00:36:19We'll just have to wait
00:36:19and see how long
00:36:20this stolen affection lasts.
00:36:21Now, why would Evelyn
00:36:22go to such length for us?
00:36:23You don't understand.
00:36:24I saw the letter
00:36:25she left in the side palace,
00:36:26and the way
00:36:27High Priest David
00:36:28was acting...
00:36:28Enough, Oliver!
00:36:29I know you're worried
00:36:30because you can't find Evelyn
00:36:31after getting your sight back,
00:36:32but you can't just erase
00:36:34Ella's sacrifices
00:36:34to make excuses for her.
00:36:36It's always like this.
00:36:37Every single time
00:36:38Ella is involved,
00:36:39I cease to matter to you.
00:36:40Ella is your sister too.
00:36:41She's in poor health,
00:36:43yet she prayed for you
00:36:43all day long.
00:36:44You can't just heartlessly
00:36:45ignore her efforts
00:36:46all for Evelyn's sake.
00:36:47That damn blind fool!
00:36:48He should have burned to death
00:36:49that night at the banquet!
00:36:50I can't let him keep talking.
00:36:52If Calder and the others
00:36:53get suspicious,
00:36:54I'm doomed.
00:36:54I have to distract them.
00:37:04My soul floated above the main hall,
00:37:07watching this ridiculous farce unfold.
00:37:09Soon,
00:37:10Ella arrived,
00:37:11looking like she was about to collapse.
00:37:13Calded and Siric
00:37:13rushed over immediately,
00:37:15their faces full of worry.
00:37:16They caught her,
00:37:17as if she were some priceless treasure.
00:37:19Actually,
00:37:20I heard everything just now.
00:37:22Oliver,
00:37:23do you think
00:37:23I pushed Evelyn out
00:37:25and that's why you're mad at me?
00:37:27It's okay.
00:37:28You can think whatever you want of me
00:37:29as long as your eyes are healed.
00:37:31Any suffering is worth it.
00:37:33Look at her act.
00:37:34With just one sentence,
00:37:35she shifted all the blame onto me.
00:37:37Cyril and Calder
00:37:38always play right into her hands,
00:37:40hurting me for her sake
00:37:41every single time.
00:37:43Did you hear that?
00:37:44Even now,
00:37:45Ella is only thinking about you.
00:37:46This time is no exception.
00:37:48Oliver,
00:37:49apologize to Ella.
00:37:51Once again,
00:37:52they sided with Ella
00:37:53without a second thought.
00:37:54Oliver,
00:37:55even you are wavering.
00:37:56You're all still swayed
00:37:57by Ella's pitiful,
00:37:58fragile act.
00:37:59How ironic.
00:38:00I traded my life
00:38:01to give you your sight
00:38:02and it's defeated
00:38:02by her fake frailty.
00:38:04Could it be?
00:38:05Did I really misunderstand?
00:38:07Were Evelyn's letter
00:38:07and David's silence
00:38:08just coincidences?
00:38:09Ella,
00:38:10I...
00:38:22Why am I instinctively
00:38:23repulsed by Ella?
00:38:25No,
00:38:26it's not me.
00:38:27It's these eyes.
00:38:28No,
00:38:29you're not the one
00:38:30rejecting Ella.
00:38:31I am.
00:38:32Because these eyes
00:38:34were once mine.
00:38:37Oliver,
00:38:38you finally noticed
00:38:39something is wrong.
00:38:40But it's too late now.
00:38:41Even if you uncover the truth,
00:38:43I can't come back.
00:38:44High Priest David
00:38:45wouldn't leak a single word
00:38:46about the sacrifice
00:38:47even when the three of us
00:38:48asked him.
00:38:49So how did you manage
00:38:50to meet the sacrifice?
00:38:52I...
00:38:52I kept watch
00:38:53at the World Tree
00:38:54in secret.
00:38:54When High Priest David
00:38:55wasn't around,
00:38:56I sneaked in
00:38:56to see the sacrifice myself.
00:38:58The Priest Temple
00:38:58is protected
00:38:59by the World Tree.
00:39:00Even I can't get close
00:39:01without being detected.
00:39:01How is that possible?
00:39:02For the first time,
00:39:04Calder and Sirian
00:39:05didn't immediately
00:39:05take Ella's side.
00:39:07But I don't need
00:39:08that anymore.
00:39:09I...
00:39:09I don't know.
00:39:10I was so desperate
00:39:11to save you.
00:39:12I was too panicked.
00:39:13I can't remember anything.
00:39:14See?
00:39:14Lies are just that frail
00:39:15when faced with the truth.
00:39:17Calder,
00:39:17you're so smart.
00:39:18How could you not know?
00:39:19You just didn't want to hurt
00:39:20your precious biological sister,
00:39:21Ella.
00:39:23Oliver!
00:39:24Calder!
00:39:24Have you both lost your minds?
00:39:26I'm just trying
00:39:27to get to the truth.
00:39:28The truth is
00:39:28she can barely stand
00:39:29and you're interrogating her
00:39:31like a criminal.
00:39:32She's your sister!
00:39:33Cyril,
00:39:33you're as impulsive as ever.
00:39:35You always protect Ella
00:39:36and you always help her hurt me.
00:39:37But this time is different.
00:39:38This time Calden
00:39:39isn't helping her.
00:39:39He's insisting she told the truth.
00:39:40Oliver is right.
00:39:41We were so caught up
00:39:42in the joy of Oliver
00:39:42regaining his sight
00:39:43that we overlooked this.
00:39:44How exactly did you find out
00:39:46about the sacrifice?
00:39:47But I don't need
00:39:48this kind of defense
00:39:49anymore, Calder.
00:39:51Your protection
00:39:51is far too late.
00:39:54Ella clutched her chest,
00:39:56tears streaming down her face
00:39:57as she stumbled backward,
00:39:58trembling violently.
00:39:58Here she goes again.
00:39:59Whenever the situation
00:40:00turns against her,
00:40:01she puts on this fragile,
00:40:02pitiful act.
00:40:03Watching her performing
00:40:03just made me feel exhausted.
00:40:05Brothers,
00:40:05will you still choose
00:40:06to believe her
00:40:06without hesitation,
00:40:07just like before?
00:40:08I'm sorry.
00:40:08Did I do something wrong?
00:40:10Why don't you get it?
00:40:11The World Tree's barrier
00:40:12is there to protect
00:40:13from divine power.
00:40:14But precisely because
00:40:15Ella's divine soul
00:40:15is unstable,
00:40:17the barrier couldn't
00:40:17sense her power,
00:40:18which is how she slipped
00:40:19in by pure accident.
00:40:21Cyril,
00:40:21you're always so quick
00:40:22to find excuses for her.
00:40:24A wave of bitterness
00:40:25washed over me.
00:40:27When I was falsely accused,
00:40:28did you ever say
00:40:29a single word in my defense?
00:40:30And Ella instantly
00:40:31grabbed onto this lifeline,
00:40:33continuing to drag
00:40:34my name through the mud.
00:40:36I know what happened.
00:40:37It was Evelyn.
00:40:38She must have set up
00:40:39some illusion before she left
00:40:40to make you all feel
00:40:41like you owe her.
00:40:42I almost laughed
00:40:44out of sheer anger.
00:40:45Ella,
00:40:46to cover up one lie,
00:40:47how many more
00:40:48are you going to tell?
00:40:49Oliver,
00:40:49my dear brother,
00:40:50you must have been
00:40:51tricked by some illusion,
00:40:52right?
00:41:00An illusion?
00:41:01No.
00:41:02No.
00:41:03It wasn't an illusion
00:41:04and here is the proof.
00:41:06This is the letter
00:41:06Evelyn left behind.
00:41:09You call this proof?
00:41:11It doesn't even mention
00:41:12that she's the sacrifice.
00:41:13She obviously left this letter
00:41:14in plain sight for you to find
00:41:16just to get your sympathy.
00:41:18Cyril,
00:41:19in your eyes,
00:41:20everything I do
00:41:20has some ulterior motive,
00:41:22doesn't it?
00:41:22Siric,
00:41:23you really are
00:41:24such a good brother.
00:41:26Brothers,
00:41:27please stop fighting over me.
00:41:31Oliver,
00:41:32until there is concrete proof,
00:41:34you cannot suspect Ella.
00:41:37Ella,
00:41:38we discovered an ancient plant
00:41:40in Vanahan.
00:41:41The healers say it might be able
00:41:42to completely cure
00:41:43your damaged divine soul.
00:41:46Really?
00:41:46Okay,
00:41:47I'll go see the healers
00:41:48for a checkup
00:41:49for myself later.
00:41:50She's panicking.
00:41:51She's terrified of an examination.
00:41:52It suddenly dawned on me.
00:41:53Has her frailty been a fake
00:41:55this entire time?
00:41:56She turned to flee,
00:41:57but Oliver took a step forward
00:41:58blocking her path like a wall.
00:41:59She tried to step back,
00:42:00but Card was right behind her.
00:42:02Ella,
00:42:02your body is too weak.
00:42:03We'll go with you.
00:42:06I stood right there,
00:42:07watching Ella's
00:42:08carefully crafted lies
00:42:09crack inch by inch
00:42:10under Calden and Oliver's
00:42:11interrogation.
00:42:12But I almost forgot,
00:42:13Ella always uses her frail sillity
00:42:15to win their sympathy.
00:42:16Well,
00:42:16this time will probably
00:42:17be just like before.
00:42:18They'll stop questioning her,
00:42:19take her back to her room
00:42:20and coddle her.
00:42:22Oh,
00:42:23I'm feeling feign.
00:42:25Brothers,
00:42:26I really don't feel well.
00:42:27I'll go see the healers tomorrow.
00:42:31All the more reason
00:42:32not to delay.
00:42:32We'll have you examined
00:42:33right here.
00:42:34Oliver is right.
00:42:35I'll summon the healers
00:42:36immediately.
00:42:37Ella,
00:42:37don't be afraid.
00:42:38We're all here with you.
00:42:39The healer will be here
00:42:40in a second.
00:42:41This time,
00:42:42Calder and the others
00:42:42actually,
00:42:43they didn't go soft
00:42:45like before.
00:42:46Doesn't matter now.
00:42:48The damage they've done
00:42:49to me is already done.
00:42:51The healer is here.
00:42:52Ella,
00:42:53your lies are about
00:42:54to be exposed.
00:42:56Calder,
00:42:56Oliver,
00:42:57Serial,
00:42:57you're about to learn
00:42:59the truth.
00:42:59Ella is a very important
00:43:01member of our family.
00:43:02Please,
00:43:02give her a thorough
00:43:03examination.
00:43:04Yes,
00:43:05I understand.
00:43:18Lord Calder,
00:43:20goddess Ella's divine power
00:43:21is incredibly full
00:43:22and there are absolutely
00:43:23no signs of instability
00:43:24in her divine soul.
00:43:26What,
00:43:26what did you just say?
00:43:27Say that again.
00:43:30I,
00:43:31I know.
00:43:32Calder,
00:43:33Oliver,
00:43:34Serial,
00:43:34do you see it clearly now?
00:43:35Your precious biological sister,
00:43:38the one you treated like glass,
00:43:39terrified,
00:43:40she'd suffer
00:43:41even the slightest grievance,
00:43:43her weakness,
00:43:44her pain.
00:43:45It was all a deception
00:43:46and the biggest price
00:43:47paid for this scam
00:43:49was me.
00:43:52Serial glared fiercely
00:43:54at Ella.
00:43:54He furiously demanded
00:43:56to know
00:43:56if she had been lying
00:43:57to them
00:43:58this whole time.
00:43:59Panicking,
00:43:59Ella reached out
00:44:00to grab him
00:44:01but he pulled away.
00:44:02Ella cried
00:44:03that she didn't mean to,
00:44:04that she only did it
00:44:05because she felt
00:44:06so insecure.
00:44:07Thankfully,
00:44:08Serial didn't tolerate
00:44:09it this time,
00:44:10telling her
00:44:11that was no excuse
00:44:12for deception.
00:44:13You faked your illness!
00:44:14So your story
00:44:15about draining
00:44:16your divine power
00:44:17to pray for me
00:44:17was a lie too?
00:44:18So Oliver's guess
00:44:19was right all along?
00:44:21Evelyn gave her eyes
00:44:22to you
00:44:23and now she,
00:44:23she's blind?
00:44:25We drove her away
00:44:26all for the sake
00:44:27of a lie.
00:44:28Ella,
00:44:28you may be our sister
00:44:29but you've gone
00:44:30entirely too far.
00:44:31For the time being,
00:44:32you are not to leave
00:44:32the palace.
00:44:33Stay here
00:44:34and reflect on
00:44:34what you've done.
00:44:35No,
00:44:36Evelyn!
00:44:37You bitch!
00:44:38You're already gone!
00:44:39What right do you
00:44:40have to still hold
00:44:41such a high spouse
00:44:42in their hearts?
00:44:45Calder,
00:44:45Oliver,
00:44:46and Cyril
00:44:46came to our secret base
00:44:47out of guilt.
00:44:48They finally found
00:44:49the whispering conga
00:44:50that I left behind.
00:44:51Yes,
00:44:51this is the whispering conga.
00:44:52She didn't even take this.
00:44:53She must have been
00:44:54incredibly heartbroken
00:44:55when she decided to leave.
00:44:56Maybe Evelyn's voice
00:44:57is in there.
00:44:57It holds a lot of memories.
00:44:59Not just the happy ones
00:45:00but the painful ones too.
00:45:01All the ones you brought me.
00:45:02Brothers,
00:45:03today marks my 10th epoch
00:45:05in Asgard
00:45:05and you all actually
00:45:06prepared gifts for me.
00:45:07I'm so happy.
00:45:08My brothers fought over
00:45:08who got to carry me
00:45:09on their back today.
00:45:10They are so good to me.
00:45:11This silly girl.
00:45:12She remembered
00:45:13every single little thing.
00:45:14Those beautiful memories
00:45:15only existed
00:45:16before Ella came along.
00:45:17Maybe you never noticed
00:45:18but after Ella arrived
00:45:18you didn't love me
00:45:19the way you used to.
00:45:21The blessing crystal ball
00:45:22my brothers gave me.
00:45:23Ella smashed it
00:45:24and she framed me
00:45:25saying I pushed her
00:45:26into the pool
00:45:26but I really didn't.
00:45:27Why wouldn't anyone
00:45:28listen to me?
00:45:29So it sounds
00:45:29to protect me forever
00:45:30had its limits
00:45:31and it shattered
00:45:32the day Ella came back.
00:45:33Look at you.
00:45:33It's fine.
00:45:34I don't care anymore anyway.
00:45:35She didn't push Ella.
00:45:37Why didn't a single
00:45:39one of us believe her?
00:45:41How desperate
00:45:42she must have felt
00:45:43when everyone
00:45:43misdistured her.
00:45:45God what did I do to her?
00:45:47I actually hit her.
00:45:49It's too late
00:45:50for regrets now
00:45:51my dear brothers.
00:45:54My brothers are listening
00:45:55to the very last sounds
00:45:57I left behind
00:45:57in this world.
00:45:58They've learned
00:45:59some truths
00:46:00from the Kong
00:46:00but they have no idea
00:46:01that the real shock
00:46:02is yet to come.
00:46:06This is...
00:46:07Cyric!
00:46:08Hold on!
00:46:12That's...
00:46:13That's from when I fell
00:46:14into the nether springs
00:46:14two years ago.
00:46:15But what was Evelyn
00:46:16doing there?
00:46:20Cyric!
00:46:23Cyric, you finally remember
00:46:24all these years
00:46:25you've treated Ella
00:46:26as your savior
00:46:27but how could you
00:46:28ever have guessed
00:46:29that I was the one
00:46:29who risked everything
00:46:30to save you?
00:46:32No, I can't let Cyric
00:46:34wake up and see me
00:46:34like this.
00:46:35He'll be worried
00:46:35about me.
00:46:36Cyrin?
00:46:38Cyril, I didn't actually
00:46:40care if you remembered
00:46:41saving you.
00:46:42What I cared about
00:46:43was how you changed.
00:46:44Ever since you mistook
00:46:46her for your savior
00:46:46you've been so good
00:46:48to Ella
00:46:49just like the wonderful
00:46:50days we used to share.
00:46:52Now, you've remembered
00:46:54way too late.
00:46:55It was Evelyn!
00:46:56The one who saved me
00:46:57back then was Evelyn!
00:46:58She got hurt
00:46:59trying to save me
00:47:00and when she was
00:47:01in pain
00:47:02I even scolded
00:47:03her for putting
00:47:03on an act.
00:47:04What the hell
00:47:05did I do to her?
00:47:07Evelyn,
00:47:08it's all my fault.
00:47:10Why didn't I
00:47:11believe you?
00:47:14Watching Cyrian
00:47:15grieve didn't stir
00:47:16a single ripple
00:47:17in my heart.
00:47:17Calder, I was completely
00:47:18calm.
00:47:19The whispering
00:47:19Connie just kept
00:47:20playing my voice.
00:47:21Calder, the starlight
00:47:22crown is truly
00:47:23beautiful, even though
00:47:25it ended up on
00:47:25Ella's head.
00:47:26I remember you
00:47:28telling me that I
00:47:29was the only goddess
00:47:30in your heart and
00:47:32that you would forge
00:47:32a crown unlike any
00:47:34other in the world
00:47:35just for me.
00:47:36But I was the only
00:47:37one who took that
00:47:38promise seriously.
00:47:40That is right,
00:47:41Calder.
00:47:42Do you remember
00:47:43now?
00:47:43That promise you
00:47:45made under the
00:47:46sunset.
00:47:47I remembered it
00:47:48for twenty whole
00:47:49years.
00:47:50Yet you took the
00:47:51gift I had
00:47:52anticipated for so
00:47:54long and gave it
00:47:55to your biological
00:47:56sister.
00:47:57Ella, where does
00:47:58that leave me?
00:48:00No, no, Evelyn,
00:48:01how could I forget
00:48:01my promise to you?
00:48:02It's too late.
00:48:03You're always one
00:48:03step too late.
00:48:04I deserve to die!
00:48:06That's my sacrifice.
00:48:08That's my sacrifice
00:48:09pact.
00:48:11Brothers, are you
00:48:12finally going to
00:48:13learn the truth?
00:48:15Will you grieve?
00:48:19My brothers were
00:48:20just about to
00:48:21discover my
00:48:21sacrifice pact,
00:48:23but they were
00:48:23so close.
00:48:24A servant called
00:48:25them away, so
00:48:26they still don't
00:48:27know I sacrificed
00:48:28myself.
00:48:29However, the
00:48:29messages I left
00:48:30in the conch
00:48:31revealed too many
00:48:32truths to them.
00:48:33Finally, for my
00:48:34sake, they decided
00:48:35to punish their
00:48:36precious biological
00:48:37sister.
00:48:38Calder has gone
00:48:39too far.
00:48:39How could he lock
00:48:40you in your room?
00:48:41Mom, Dad, I know
00:48:42I can't compare to
00:48:43Evelyn.
00:48:44I won't fight her
00:48:44for anything
00:48:45anymore.
00:48:45Can you please
00:48:46tell my brothers
00:48:47to stop being
00:48:47mad at me?
00:48:48You silly child,
00:48:49you are a vital
00:48:50part of our
00:48:50family.
00:48:51How could they
00:48:51stay mad at you?
00:48:53This is the
00:48:53very first time
00:48:54Siric has ever
00:48:55treated Ella this
00:48:56way, and it's
00:48:56for me.
00:48:57If it were in
00:48:58the past, I'd be
00:48:59so happy I can
00:49:00fly, but it's
00:49:01too late now.
00:49:03What are you
00:49:03doing?
00:49:04Siric, are you
00:49:05crazy?
00:49:05Let her go!
00:49:06Siric, stop!
00:49:08Calder, are you
00:49:08crazy too?
00:49:09Are you just
00:49:10going to watch
00:49:10your sister get
00:49:11hurt?
00:49:11Mom, Dad, you
00:49:12still don't know
00:49:13what Ella did to
00:49:13me, do you?
00:49:14Though even if you
00:49:15knew, you'd probably
00:49:15still protect her.
00:49:16After all, she is
00:49:17your biological
00:49:17daughter.
00:49:18Ella, I am deeply
00:49:18disappointed in you.
00:49:19We already know
00:49:20everything you did
00:49:20to Evelyn.
00:49:21What on earth are you
00:49:22talking about?
00:49:23You murdered Molly!
00:49:23You made us think
00:49:24you saved Siric, and
00:49:25worst of all, you
00:49:26exploited our guilt
00:49:27to make us accuse
00:49:27Evelyn!
00:49:28Hearing Calden
00:49:29reveals the truth, Mom
00:49:30and Dad stared at
00:49:30Ela in shock.
00:49:31But it's the truth, Mom
00:49:32and Dad.
00:49:33You'll probably still
00:49:34defend Ela anyway.
00:49:35It doesn't matter to me
00:49:36anymore, though.
00:49:36I'm already gone.
00:49:38How is that possible?
00:49:39Ella, this isn't
00:49:40true, is it?
00:49:41I didn't do any of
00:49:42that.
00:49:43Where are you hearing
00:49:43these rumors?
00:49:44None of it is true!
00:49:45Stop making excuses.
00:49:46The Kong Evelyn left
00:49:47behind showed us
00:49:48the truth.
00:49:53Ella, Evelyn
00:49:53probably faked it!
00:49:55Caldwee gave that
00:49:56Kong to Evelyn
00:49:56ourselves.
00:49:57It bears our
00:49:57divine power.
00:49:58It's impossible to
00:49:59fake anything on it.
00:50:02Watching my brothers
00:50:03have the guards drag
00:50:04Ella away to reflect,
00:50:05seeing my parents'
00:50:06tears of remorse.
00:50:07My heart felt a tiny
00:50:08bit better, but I
00:50:09won't forgive them.
00:50:10The pain they
00:50:10inflicted on me can't
00:50:11be erased by a simple
00:50:12punishment.
00:50:12What's more, Der
00:50:13and the others still
00:50:13don't even know the
00:50:14truth about my
00:50:14sacrifice.
00:50:15Calder, send people
00:50:16to find Evelyn
00:50:16immediately.
00:50:17Don't worry, we'll
00:50:17bring Evelyn back.
00:50:19Evelyn, it's all
00:50:19our fault.
00:50:20We were the ones
00:50:21hurting her all
00:50:22along.
00:50:22Mom, Dad, remember?
00:50:22We decided to throw
00:50:23Evelyn a make-up
00:50:24coming-of-age ceremony.
00:50:24She'll come back.
00:50:25When she comes back,
00:50:26we'll make it up to
00:50:27her, and we'll make
00:50:27Ella apologize.
00:50:28We'll be a family
00:50:29again, just like
00:50:29before.
00:50:30Listen to me.
00:50:31This make-up ceremony
00:50:32cannot be taken
00:50:33lightly.
00:50:33It must be grand.
00:50:34We have to show
00:50:35Evelyn how serious
00:50:36we are.
00:50:36A grand ceremony?
00:50:37Do they really think
00:50:38I'll come back?
00:50:39That everything can
00:50:39just go back to the
00:50:40way it was?
00:50:41How laughable.
00:50:42Mom, Dad, brothers.
00:50:43Even with the
00:50:44grandest ceremony in
00:50:45the world, I can
00:50:46never come back.
00:50:47The world tree.
00:50:48This is where I
00:50:48sacrificed myself, and
00:50:50where so many of my
00:50:51beautiful memories were
00:50:52held.
00:50:52But with my sacrifice,
00:50:53they all vanished.
00:50:55Suddenly, I heard an
00:50:56ancient voice calling
00:50:57out to my soul.
00:50:58Narn?
00:50:59It turns out, I am
00:51:00the daughter of Odin.
00:51:01I need to see my
00:51:01brothers of my
00:51:02sacrifice.
00:51:03Father, once I see
00:51:04what I need to see,
00:51:05I'll return.
00:51:06My biological father
00:51:07agreed.
00:51:07He took my body
00:51:08back, but my soul
00:51:09remains in Asgard.
00:51:11It won't be long
00:51:12now.
00:51:13What?
00:51:16My brothers should
00:51:17find out the truth
00:51:17very soon.
00:51:21In the Pantheon, the
00:51:22servants are in full
00:51:23swing preparing for my
00:51:24makeup ceremony.
00:51:25My brothers have also
00:51:26meticulously prepared
00:51:27gifts I used to love.
00:51:28Watching them, I just
00:51:29felt a sense of irony.
00:51:30They actually think I'm
00:51:30coming back.
00:51:31I took a team to the
00:51:32far and far north found
00:51:33a divine beast exactly
00:51:35like Molly.
00:51:36Evelyn will be absolutely
00:51:37thrilled when she sees
00:51:38it.
00:51:38I've prepared the finest
00:51:39herbs in all the divine
00:51:40realm for Evelyn.
00:51:41This is wonderful.
00:51:42Once Evelyn comes back,
00:51:44our family will be
00:51:44together again.
00:51:45A family?
00:51:46Did you and I ever
00:51:47really count as a family?
00:51:48And I can never return.
00:51:50No matter what you do,
00:51:51I can't come back.
00:51:53Mary, where is Evelyn?
00:51:54Have you seen her?
00:51:55Stop hiding it from us.
00:51:56Where exactly is Evelyn?
00:51:56I'll go pick her up
00:51:57right now.
00:51:57I don't care if she hits
00:51:58me or curses at me.
00:51:59I'll take it all.
00:52:00I want to see her too,
00:52:01but there's no way
00:52:02anymore.
00:52:03Veri, stop crying over
00:52:04me.
00:52:04You need to move on.
00:52:05Veri, stop playing
00:52:06around.
00:52:07She's not coming back.
00:52:09She's never coming back.
00:52:11Finally.
00:52:12They finally know the
00:52:12truth that I've
00:52:13sacrificed myself and
00:52:14am gone.
00:52:16Verly, what nonsense
00:52:17are you spouting?
00:52:18Evelyn is our family.
00:52:19How could she not come
00:52:20back?
00:52:20Evelyn must think we
00:52:21haven't done enough.
00:52:22That's okay.
00:52:22Go ask Evelyn what she
00:52:23wants us to do.
00:52:24I will apologize to
00:52:25Evelyn with all my
00:52:25hate, I promise.
00:52:26No matter how many
00:52:27divine beasts, crowns,
00:52:29or jewels she wants,
00:52:30I'll give them all to
00:52:30her.
00:52:31As long as Evelyn is
00:52:32willing to come back,
00:52:33she is still our
00:52:34daughter, the revered
00:52:36goddess of Asgard.
00:52:37Divine beasts?
00:52:39Crowns?
00:52:39Jewels?
00:52:40A revered status?
00:52:41Listening to the price
00:52:42they were offering, I
00:52:44felt nothing but intense
00:52:45irony.
00:52:46Calder, Oliver, Cyril,
00:52:48Mom, Dad.
00:52:49Do you still not
00:52:50understand what I
00:52:51actually cared about?
00:52:52My lords, do you
00:52:54honestly believe Miss
00:52:55Evelyn would still care
00:52:56about any of the
00:52:57things you just
00:52:58mentioned?
00:52:59Calder, Cyril, and
00:53:00Oliver froze
00:53:01simultaneously.
00:53:02Tears fell down
00:53:03Barry's face, and her
00:53:04voice suddenly spiked,
00:53:05carrying her long
00:53:06suppressed anger and
00:53:07sorrow.
00:53:07All she ever cared
00:53:08about was your love.
00:53:12But Miss Evelyn did
00:53:13so much for you, and
00:53:15suffered so many
00:53:17grievances, and all
00:53:18she got in return was
00:53:20your neglect and
00:53:21blame.
00:53:22Very, thank you.
00:53:24Thank you for saying
00:53:25the words I'd never
00:53:26get the chance to say.
00:53:27To think that in all
00:53:27of Asgard, you're the
00:53:28only one who understood
00:53:29me.
00:53:30Ildrix, Very, you are
00:53:31but a servant.
00:53:32How dare you speak to
00:53:33us like that?
00:53:33Very looked Eldrix
00:53:34straight in the eye
00:53:35without a shred of
00:53:35fear, letting out a
00:53:36mocking scoff.
00:53:37Please forgive my
00:53:38rudeness, Lord
00:53:39Elgic, but I truly feel
00:53:41that Miss Evelyn's
00:53:42sacrifices were not
00:53:43worth it.
00:53:44Whenever I think about
00:53:45the kind of torture
00:53:45she's enduring right now,
00:53:47it feels like a knife
00:53:47twisting in my heart.
00:53:49No, maybe Evelyn
00:53:50can't even feel
00:53:51anything anymore.
00:53:52Everyone stared at
00:53:53Very in utter confusion.
00:53:55A deeply unsettling
00:53:56premonition began to
00:53:56spread in everyone
00:53:57Sal's hearts.
00:53:58Cardam, Oliver, and
00:53:59Sirid demanded to
00:54:00know what she meant.
00:54:01Very glared at the
00:54:01three of them.
00:54:02Yes, she is in
00:54:03terrible danger right
00:54:04now, but you are
00:54:06the ones who made
00:54:07this.
00:54:09Very said I was
00:54:10in danger right now.
00:54:11That's right.
00:54:13The abyss at the
00:54:14bottom of the world
00:54:15tree, the most
00:54:16dangerous place in
00:54:17all of Asgard.
00:54:18Thank you, Very.
00:54:20Thank you for
00:54:21speaking the truth
00:54:22that I can no
00:54:23longer voice.
00:54:24Very, we would
00:54:24never put Evelyn
00:54:25in danger.
00:54:26No.
00:54:28All the danger
00:54:29I'm in was
00:54:30caused by you.
00:54:31Shut up, Very!
00:54:32I've tolerated you
00:54:33quite enough for
00:54:34Evelyn's sake.
00:54:35If you keep
00:54:35spouting this nonsense,
00:54:37I will deal with
00:54:37you right here and
00:54:38now!
00:54:39If you just tell us
00:54:40where Evelyn is
00:54:41right now, I can
00:54:42waive your punishment
00:54:43and even give you
00:54:44a bountiful reward.
00:54:45No, don't threaten
00:54:47Very.
00:54:48Carlton, Oliver,
00:54:49Serial, mum, dad.
00:54:50Do you still think
00:54:51Very is hiding my
00:54:52whereabouts on purpose?
00:54:53She's not!
00:54:54She's not!
00:54:55I can't come back!
00:54:56Very, give them
00:54:58my trapped.
00:54:59Let them see for
00:55:00themselves, okay?
00:55:05Fine, then I'll
00:55:05tell you.
00:55:08See for yourselves.
00:55:09This box holds
00:55:11every answer
00:55:12you're looking for.
00:55:16Open it, Calder.
00:55:17You'll see
00:55:18my whereabouts
00:55:19just like you wanted.
00:55:21I hope you
00:55:22don't get scared.
00:55:23But if you do,
00:55:24there's nothing
00:55:25I can do.
00:55:26I can never cheer
00:55:27you up like
00:55:28I used to.
00:55:29Seriously,
00:55:30Evelyn's.
00:55:30How old is she
00:55:31still playing these
00:55:31games where she
00:55:32leaves clues for
00:55:32us to find her?
00:55:33Yeah, this was
00:55:34her favorite game
00:55:34when we were kids.
00:55:36A game?
00:55:38Do you still
00:55:39think this is a
00:55:40game?
00:55:42Of course, I wish
00:55:43it were a game
00:55:44too, but
00:55:48unfortunately,
00:55:48it's not.
00:55:59The ritual's
00:56:00packed of sacrifice!
00:56:01Why is it here?!
00:56:02Oh, my.
00:56:03My brothers
00:56:04know the truth.
00:56:05They've finally
00:56:05found me
00:56:06in the cruelest
00:56:07way possible.
00:56:12That mysterious
00:56:13sacrifice!
00:56:15It was...
00:56:16It was Evelyn?!
00:56:18No!
00:56:20My daughter!
00:56:21My Evelyn!
00:56:22No!
00:56:23This is impossible!
00:56:24It has to be a fake!
00:56:26Calden backed away,
00:56:27his hand going slap,
00:56:28and the pact
00:56:29fluttered down.
00:56:29With trembling hands,
00:56:31Oliver picked it up,
00:56:32staring at the paper
00:56:32in equal disbelief.
00:56:34Floating in the air,
00:56:35looking at their faces,
00:56:36I felt nothing but
00:56:37a pathetic sense of relief.
00:56:38No!
00:56:39This is impossible!
00:56:40It has to be a fake!
00:56:41No, no.
00:56:42Evelyn must have
00:56:43purposefully made a fake
00:56:43pact just to make us mad.
00:56:45Vary was crying,
00:56:45yet she smiled as she
00:56:46watched them.
00:56:47She mocked Caldum,
00:56:48asking him if he...
00:56:49The one who ordered
00:56:49the ritual built
00:56:50couldn't tell whether
00:56:51the pact was real or fake.
00:56:52Caldum just clenched
00:56:53his fists,
00:56:53his lips pale,
00:56:54unable to argue back
00:56:55a single word.
00:56:56Miss Evelyn never blamed
00:56:57any of you.
00:56:58Before she left,
00:57:00she told me to tell you
00:57:01that she loves you.
00:57:02Those eyes,
00:57:03that life,
00:57:04that was the absolute
00:57:05last thing she could
00:57:06do for you.
00:57:07Shut up!
00:57:07I don't believe it!
00:57:08Evelyn, come out!
00:57:09I'll find you myself!
00:57:11Cyril dashed out of the hall
00:57:12like a madman.
00:57:13Snapping out of it,
00:57:14Calder and Oliver
00:57:15sprinted right after him,
00:57:17watching them run frantically
00:57:18toward the world tree.
00:57:20I only found it laughable.
00:57:21Where else are you
00:57:22going to look for me?
00:57:26Evelyn!
00:57:27Under the world tree,
00:57:28they stubbornly
00:57:29called out my name.
00:57:30They even thought
00:57:30I was just playing
00:57:31hide and seek with them
00:57:32like we did as kids.
00:57:33But you're already here.
00:57:34You already know the answer.
00:57:36Evelyn!
00:57:37Come out!
00:57:38You're definitely hiding
00:57:39somewhere peeking at us,
00:57:40aren't you?
00:57:40Just like hide and seek
00:57:41when we were kids,
00:57:42we give up!
00:57:43We're looking for you!
00:57:43Please just come out!
00:57:44Evelyn, if I can never
00:57:45see you again,
00:57:46what use do I have
00:57:47for these eyes?
00:57:48Oliver, do you finally
00:57:49truly understand the...
00:57:51Give up.
00:57:52Miss Evelyn's divine soul
00:57:54has completely dissipated.
00:57:57Why didn't you tell me?
00:57:58You're the high priest!
00:58:00You knew damn well
00:58:00the sacrifice was my sister!
00:58:02Why didn't you stop her?
00:58:03You sent her away!
00:58:05Lord Calder,
00:58:06this was an order
00:58:07issued from your own mouth.
00:58:10Furthermore,
00:58:11this was Miss Esalen's
00:58:12own wish.
00:58:13She said there was
00:58:14nothing left for her
00:58:14in Asgard.
00:58:20Watching their confessions
00:58:21beneath the world tree,
00:58:22I actually found it
00:58:22ridiculous.
00:58:23It's like they completely
00:58:24forgot all the horrible
00:58:25things they did.
00:58:26They're all screaming
00:58:27for me to come back,
00:58:27but what would I even
00:58:28come back for?
00:58:29To keep getting hurt
00:58:30by their familial bonds?
00:58:31No, I won't.
00:58:32I have my own family,
00:58:33and soon I will return
00:58:34to them.
00:58:37Miss Evelyn can no longer
00:58:39hear your apologies.
00:58:40No!
00:58:41She's not dead!
00:58:42She didn't sacrifice
00:58:43herself!
00:58:43She's just hiding!
00:58:46They don't believe
00:58:47I sacrificed myself.
00:58:49Oh no,
00:58:50they don't dare
00:58:50to believe it.
00:58:51They keep repenting,
00:58:52their wails echoing
00:58:54across the divine realm.
00:58:55But there is no answer.
00:58:57My sacrifice
00:58:58is already complete.
00:58:59Their belated apologies
00:59:00can never bring me back.
00:59:02Evelyn, come back.
00:59:03I don't want
00:59:04these eyes anymore.
00:59:06I'd rather stay
00:59:07a blind man
00:59:07as long as you're
00:59:08by my side!
00:59:10Right!
00:59:11Right!
00:59:11This has to be a joke!
00:59:13Evelyn, I was wrong!
00:59:15I never should have
00:59:15broken your heart!
00:59:18Evelyn, please come back!
00:59:20I made a new crown
00:59:21for you,
00:59:21and it belongs only to you!
00:59:23You'll love it!
00:59:24You'll love it!
00:59:25Just come back
00:59:26and wear it, okay?
00:59:27Evelyn,
00:59:28we were wrong!
00:59:30Please come back!
00:59:32No.
00:59:33No.
00:59:33I can never go back.
00:59:35Now,
00:59:35I'm leaving for good,
00:59:37to return to my
00:59:38biological father.
00:59:39It seems I have
00:59:40another brother, too.
00:59:42He's bound to treat me
00:59:43better than any of you did.
00:59:49I am Hedlyn,
00:59:50the long-lost daughter
00:59:51of Lord Odin.
00:59:52I am Evelyn, too.
00:59:54But that was just
00:59:55my identity in Asgard.
00:59:56Now that I've returned
00:59:57to the High Divine Realm,
00:59:58my old name
01:00:00no longer matters.
01:00:01My biological father
01:00:02and brother,
01:00:03Odin,
01:00:04the King of Gods,
01:00:05and Glorian,
01:00:05the God of War
01:00:06of the High Divine Realm,
01:00:08walked towards me.
01:00:10They looked at me,
01:00:12their eyes brimming
01:00:12with the tender love
01:00:13of finding someone
01:00:14they thought they'd lost.
01:00:16Their attitude toward me
01:00:17was exactly the same
01:00:18as when my adoptive brothers
01:00:19and parents found Ella.
01:00:21Back then,
01:00:21I could only stand
01:00:22on the sidelines
01:00:23and watch their family reunion.
01:00:24But now,
01:00:25my dreal father and brother
01:00:26are looking at me
01:00:27with absolute joy.
01:00:28Good.
01:00:29I won't have to
01:00:30end these anyone else
01:00:30ever again.
01:00:31My daughter,
01:00:32you've suffered in Asgard.
01:00:34Now that you've finally
01:00:35taken your rightful place
01:00:37and returned to us,
01:00:38we will certainly
01:00:39make it up to you.
01:00:40Hedalyn,
01:00:41my own sister,
01:00:42you're finally back.
01:00:43I nearly went insane
01:00:44looking for you
01:00:45all these years.
01:00:46My gaze still
01:00:47uncontrollably drifted
01:00:48to Calder, Oliver,
01:00:49and Serial beneath
01:00:49the World Tree,
01:00:50but Glorian caught it
01:00:51immediately.
01:00:52Following my eyes,
01:00:52he stared coldly down
01:00:53at the roots of the World Tree,
01:00:54at those three figures
01:00:55frantically pounding the ground
01:00:56and mutilating themselves
01:00:57in repentance.
01:00:58He looked furious.
01:00:59I could feel that he was
01:01:00outraged on my behalf.
01:01:01Are those the three brothers
01:01:03who hurt you in Asgard?
01:01:09They think they deserve
01:01:10to be your brothers?
01:01:12Hedalyn,
01:01:13I will rain down
01:01:14divine punishment
01:01:15right now
01:01:16and avenge you.
01:01:20This is a brother
01:01:21who is truly willing
01:01:22to draw his sword
01:01:24for me.
01:01:26While you only put on
01:01:28a tearful show
01:01:28of devotion
01:01:29when it's already
01:01:30too late.
01:01:31Brother,
01:01:32those things are all
01:01:32in the past now.
01:01:33Right now,
01:01:34I am Hedalyn.
01:01:34There's no need
01:01:35to ruin the mood
01:01:35of our family reunion
01:01:36over three irrelevant
01:01:37struckers.
01:01:38Good.
01:01:39Now that you're back,
01:01:39I'm going to throw you
01:01:40the grandest banquet
01:01:40in the entire universe.
01:01:42I want all the gods
01:01:42to know that my
01:01:43Glorion's own sister,
01:01:44the high goddess
01:01:44Hedalyn,
01:01:45has returned.
01:01:46I shall issue an order
01:01:48to all the gods.
01:01:49Every divine clan
01:01:50must be present
01:01:51to welcome
01:01:52my precious daughter.
01:01:53Thank you,
01:01:54Father.
01:01:55Thank you,
01:01:56Brother.
01:01:56Farewell.
01:01:57From now on,
01:01:58the Evelyn you knew
01:01:59no longer exists
01:02:00in this world.
01:02:10My father and brother
01:02:12took my return ceremony
01:02:13incredibly seriously.
01:02:15They ordered the servants
01:02:16to start preparing
01:02:17well in advance.
01:02:18Father even issued
01:02:20an oracle,
01:02:21inviting countless gods
01:02:22to attend.
01:02:23For the first time
01:02:24in my life,
01:02:25I felt truly valued.
01:02:26And this oracle
01:02:27also flew to Asgard.
01:02:29It flew to the place
01:02:31I used to call home.
01:02:34Lord Odin has found
01:02:35his long-lost daughter.
01:02:36The High Divine Temple
01:02:37will be hosting
01:02:38the grandest return banquet
01:02:39in her honor.
01:02:41Calder,
01:02:41you will take Oliver
01:02:42and Sirian to represent
01:02:44Asgard and offer
01:02:45our congratulations.
01:02:46They're still living
01:02:47in the shadow
01:02:47of Evelyn's sacrifice.
01:02:50How ironic.
01:02:51Calder,
01:02:53Calder!
01:02:56My children,
01:02:57I know Evelyn's sacrifice
01:02:59was a huge blow
01:03:00to you all,
01:03:01but it's been a week now.
01:03:02You need to let it go.
01:03:04Just look at your own sister.
01:03:06You've been ignoring
01:03:07Aayla this entire time.
01:03:08You can't live
01:03:09in the shadows forever.
01:03:10Brothers,
01:03:11please stop breaking
01:03:12your hearts over someone
01:03:13who's already gone.
01:03:14I know I haven't been
01:03:15good enough,
01:03:15but please believe me,
01:03:17I will make up for
01:03:17Evelyn's love
01:03:18twice over.
01:03:19From now on,
01:03:20I will take her place
01:03:21and I will stay by your side
01:03:22forever and ever.
01:03:23You did my place?
01:03:24Aayla,
01:03:24you did that a long time ago.
01:03:26Take her place?
01:03:27Ella,
01:03:27what gives you the right
01:03:28to think you could ever
01:03:30take Michael Evelyn's place?
01:03:34Didn't she already
01:03:35do that,
01:03:35Cyril?
01:03:36What are you even mad about?
01:03:41Startled by Cyril's roar,
01:03:43Ella stumbled.
01:03:44Expressionless,
01:03:45Oliver reached out
01:03:46and caught her.
01:03:47Ella,
01:03:47Sue Hapt is just the grieving,
01:03:48but that doesn't mean
01:03:49he's wrong.
01:03:50Ella,
01:03:50you have to face the truth.
01:03:51No one can ever replace Evelyn,
01:03:53not even you,
01:03:54our own biological sister.
01:03:55He's right.
01:03:56Evelyn is irreplaceable.
01:03:57Ella's expression froze.
01:03:59Tears began welling
01:04:00in her eyes.
01:04:01Unable to watch
01:04:02any longer,
01:04:03Eldrick and Aligned
01:04:05stepped in to stop
01:04:06their three sons.
01:04:07For the sake of Asgard's reputation,
01:04:08you must snap out of this grief.
01:04:10Five days from now
01:04:10is the goddess's
01:04:11return ceremony.
01:04:12Seeing their father's
01:04:13furious expression,
01:04:15they had no choice
01:04:16but to bow their heads
01:04:18and nod in bitter defeat.
01:04:20Ella lowered her head,
01:04:22pretending to yield,
01:04:23but it was only to hide
01:04:24her absolute rage.
01:04:26You really are something,
01:04:27Evelyn.
01:04:28Even after sacrificing yourself,
01:04:29Calder and the others
01:04:30still can't stop
01:04:31thinking about you.
01:04:32But that's fine.
01:04:33If I can take the place
01:04:34of their biological sister,
01:04:36then one day
01:04:37I'll take your place
01:04:37in their hearts too.
01:04:39I am the only one
01:04:40fit to be Asgard's
01:04:41one and only goddess.
01:04:43Ella,
01:04:43how do you plan
01:04:44on replacing someone
01:04:45who no longer exists?
01:04:49Calder and the others
01:04:50are bringing Ella
01:04:51to my return ceremony.
01:04:53I wonder if we'll run
01:04:54into each other.
01:04:55If we do,
01:04:56will they be surprised?
01:04:58After all,
01:04:59seeing someone
01:04:59whose divine soul
01:05:00was supposedly annihilated
01:05:02come back to life
01:05:03is pretty shocking.
01:05:05Am I pretty today?
01:05:08If Elezen wore this dress
01:05:10and that crown,
01:05:11she'd be the most beautiful
01:05:12goddess in all the realms.
01:05:14That timid little girl.
01:05:16If she were still here,
01:05:17she'd definitely be terrified
01:05:18of a crowd this big.
01:05:19She'd be gripping my clothes
01:05:20for dear life,
01:05:21hiding right behind my back.
01:05:23It is truly laughable.
01:05:24When I was right beside them,
01:05:26they poured all their love
01:05:28into Ella.
01:05:29Now that I am gone,
01:05:30they're constantly
01:05:31thinking about me.
01:05:32Don't they realize
01:05:33it is a bit too late?
01:05:34Though,
01:05:35I am sure Ella
01:05:36will shift their attention
01:05:37right back to her.
01:05:39Just watch.
01:05:41I'm sorry, Ella.
01:05:43Please forgive us.
01:05:43It won't happen again.
01:05:45Don't cry.
01:05:45We promise
01:05:46we won't ignore you anymore.
01:05:47Brothers,
01:05:48you are going to see me
01:05:50very soon.
01:05:51But I'll no longer
01:05:52be Evelyn.
01:05:53I'll be the brand
01:05:54new Hedalyn.
01:05:55My brother really
01:05:56is incredibly good to me.
01:05:58Everything I never got
01:05:59from Calder and the others
01:06:01Glorion gave to me,
01:06:03and I can see it
01:06:04in his eyes.
01:06:05I am his most
01:06:06precious treasure.
01:06:08I think every god
01:06:09in attendance
01:06:09will pale in comparison
01:06:10to your radiance.
01:06:12Brother,
01:06:13you're exaggerating.
01:06:14The ceremony's
01:06:15about to begin.
01:06:16Let's go.
01:06:17Let all the realms
01:06:18see just how beautiful
01:06:19my sister is.
01:06:20Calder,
01:06:20Oliver,
01:06:21and Cyril
01:06:22have already arrived
01:06:23at my new home.
01:06:24They're about to attend
01:06:25my return ceremony.
01:06:26Honestly,
01:06:27I am feeling
01:06:28a bit nervous,
01:06:29yet expectant.
01:06:30I really want to see
01:06:32the looks on their faces
01:06:33when they see me.
01:06:34It'll definitely
01:06:35be quite a sight.
01:06:37Evelyn!
01:06:44Oh my gosh.
01:06:46That's Lord Odin's
01:06:47fiercest son,
01:06:48Glorion,
01:06:48the god of war
01:06:49of the High Divine Temple.
01:06:51And the one beside him,
01:06:52that has to be
01:06:54the legendary goddess
01:06:55Hedlund
01:06:55who just returned.
01:06:57Back in Asgard,
01:06:58we used to hold
01:06:59Emelyn's hand
01:06:59exactly like that.
01:07:01Yeah.
01:07:02Back then,
01:07:03Evelyn would always
01:07:03cling to us,
01:07:05trailing behind
01:07:06like a lost little angel.
01:07:08And now,
01:07:09all of that
01:07:09is completely gone.
01:07:11How ridiculous.
01:07:12The one they are mourning
01:07:13is the very person
01:07:14they drove to her death.
01:07:16And the one
01:07:16they are marveling at
01:07:17is the person
01:07:18who is now
01:07:19completely out of their reach.
01:07:21That damn bitch.
01:07:22She's already dead,
01:07:24yet she still holds
01:07:25such an important place
01:07:27in your hearts.
01:07:28I'll make you forget
01:07:29that name forever.
01:07:31Brothers,
01:07:31the celebration
01:07:32is about to start
01:07:33and all the gods
01:07:34have ease in general.
01:07:36We can't afford
01:07:37to be rude
01:07:37at a dislike, Chips.
01:07:38Calder snapped back
01:07:39to reality,
01:07:40his face still etched
01:07:42with sorrow.
01:07:42Seizing the opportunity,
01:07:44Ella stepped forward
01:07:45and intimately hooked
01:07:46her arm through his.
01:07:47Calder looked down
01:07:49at her arm,
01:07:49unable to stop himself
01:07:51from frowning.
01:07:52But seeing Ella's
01:07:53sweet smile,
01:07:54he let out
01:07:54a helpless sigh
01:07:55in his heart.
01:07:57All around me,
01:07:59chatter about my return
01:08:00as Hedalyn
01:08:01buzzed endlessly.
01:08:03Calder and the other two
01:08:04inevitably overheard it,
01:08:06of course.
01:08:06Hey, did you hear?
01:08:08This goddess went missing
01:08:09for ages
01:08:10and she was actually
01:08:11in Asgard the whole time.
01:08:12I even heard
01:08:13she had to sacrifice
01:08:14her divine soul
01:08:15just to return
01:08:16to the apex of the gods.
01:08:18With a crash,
01:08:18the wine glass slipped
01:08:20from Oliver's hand,
01:08:21splashing nectar
01:08:22all over the floor.
01:08:23Calder and Cyril
01:08:24exchanged a look,
01:08:25their pupils dilated
01:08:26in sheer terror.
01:08:28Stranded in Asgard?
01:08:29Could this goddess be...
01:08:33Evelyn?
01:08:33You guessed right.
01:08:35But only half right.
01:08:38Calder and the others
01:08:39looked completely shocked.
01:08:41Well, they should be.
01:08:43And Yon would be shocked.
01:08:44Seeing someone come back
01:08:46from the dead.
01:08:46But they're as foolish as ever.
01:08:48The moment Ella opens her mouth,
01:08:50they dismiss their own thoughts.
01:08:52Just like always.
01:08:53Brothers, you are overthinking this.
01:08:55Asgard is vast.
01:08:56While sacrifices are rare,
01:08:57this surely isn't the only case.
01:08:59Oliver, I know how hard it is
01:09:00for you to face the truth,
01:09:01but...
01:09:03Evelyn's soul is gone forever.
01:09:04If you keep losing yourselves
01:09:05in these delusions,
01:09:06it will only break
01:09:07mother, father, and my heart.
01:09:08How ridiculous.
01:09:09It is as if their guilt toward me
01:09:11just vanishes
01:09:12the second Ella
01:09:13says a word.
01:09:15Evelyn was just an orphan
01:09:16we picked up from the ashes.
01:09:17How could she possibly be
01:09:18the daughter of Lord Odin?
01:09:19You're right.
01:09:21She's already gone.
01:09:22We need to put
01:09:23these absurd thoughts to rest.
01:09:25Presenting the Supreme Goddess
01:09:29Hedlund!
01:09:30As I approached,
01:09:31the light softly dimmed,
01:09:32revealing my face.
01:09:34The face they knew
01:09:34down to their bones.
01:09:36The face of the girl
01:09:37they pushed to a dead end Evelyn.
01:09:38Evelyn?
01:09:39Yes, Calder, is me.
01:09:42The adopted daughter
01:09:43you brought home like a stray.
01:09:44The replacement
01:09:45you forced into
01:09:46sacrificing her own soul.
01:09:48Now, I am back.
01:09:50And I've returned
01:09:50with a status
01:09:51you can never reach.
01:09:52The daughter of Odin,
01:09:53the goddess of the
01:09:54supreme divine realm,
01:09:56Hedlund.
01:09:58Here they come,
01:09:59under the watchful eyes
01:10:00of all the gods.
01:10:02The three of them rushed,
01:10:03the high platform,
01:10:04like absolute madmen,
01:10:06throwing all etiquette
01:10:07out the window.
01:10:08You're actually still alive!
01:10:10I knew it.
01:10:11I knew fate
01:10:11wouldn't be so cruel to you.
01:10:12Ever since you disappeared,
01:10:13we've been burning in regret
01:10:14every single second.
01:10:15We missed you so much.
01:10:16You didn't sacrifice yourself.
01:10:18Great!
01:10:18Evelyn, come back to Asgard
01:10:19with us right now!
01:10:20In the past,
01:10:21I imagined countless times
01:10:23what our faces
01:10:24would look like
01:10:24if we ever saw
01:10:26each other again.
01:10:27But now...
01:10:29Evelyn?
01:10:30I'm afraid no one
01:10:32goes by that name
01:10:33in this hall.
01:10:33I am Hedlund,
01:10:35daughter of Odin.
01:10:36Calder and the others
01:10:37froze,
01:10:38their faces
01:10:39filled with confusion
01:10:40and panic.
01:10:42Not far away,
01:10:43Ella's face
01:10:43went deathly pale.
01:10:46No!
01:10:47That's impossible!
01:10:49Calder!
01:10:49Oliver!
01:10:50Cyriel!
01:10:51She is definitely
01:10:52not Evelyn!
01:10:53Evelyn was swallowed
01:10:53by the Abyss
01:10:54in that ritual
01:10:55long ago!
01:10:55She's dead!
01:10:56Shut up, Ella!
01:10:58She lived with us
01:10:59for 18 opixings!
01:11:00How could I not
01:11:00recognize her?!
01:11:01Evelyn,
01:11:02why won't you admit it?
01:11:03Are you still mad at us?
01:11:04If she really is Evelyn,
01:11:06she should be
01:11:06completely blind right now.
01:11:08But look at her,
01:11:08she can see!
01:11:09You've got the wrong person!
01:11:11Shut your mouth!
01:11:13Evelyn!
01:11:14I want to hear it
01:11:15straight from you!
01:11:17I was indeed
01:11:17the Evelyn you speak of.
01:11:19But as I just said,
01:11:20that Evelyn is already dead.
01:11:23After that cold banishment,
01:11:25the moment the sacrifice
01:11:26cop took effect,
01:11:27I stopped being your sister.
01:11:29Since the day I left Asgard,
01:11:30we have had nothing
01:11:32to do with each other.
01:11:33I never expected
01:11:34to be able to say
01:11:35that so calmly.
01:11:36And I know
01:11:37it is not out of hate.
01:11:38But because I truly
01:11:39don't care anymore,
01:11:41from this point,
01:11:41on,
01:11:42my new life,
01:11:43my life as Hedalyn,
01:11:45has truly begun.
01:11:48I watched Calder,
01:11:50Oliver,
01:11:50and Cyril
01:11:51desperately trying
01:11:52to explain themselves.
01:11:53I felt nothing,
01:11:55I just looked at them
01:11:56blankly,
01:11:57as if watching
01:11:57a ridiculous farce.
01:11:59They thought that
01:12:00as long as they apologized,
01:12:02showed remorse,
01:12:03and offered a tempting
01:12:04enough price,
01:12:05I would forgive them
01:12:06like I used to
01:12:07and return to the family,
01:12:09that pushed me
01:12:10into the abyss.
01:12:10There is no future
01:12:12for us.
01:12:15As you can see,
01:12:16I am now Hedalyn,
01:12:17goddess of the
01:12:18supreme divine realm.
01:12:20Evelyn died
01:12:21in that sacrifice,
01:12:21and all those
01:12:23unpleasant memories
01:12:23died right along
01:12:24with her.
01:12:25Evelyn,
01:12:26you are our sister!
01:12:27That's an undeniable fact!
01:12:29Please,
01:12:30just come back with us!
01:12:31Oliver and Cyril
01:12:32had completely
01:12:33lost their minds.
01:12:34They charged
01:12:35right at me.
01:12:40What is this?
01:12:43How dare you
01:12:45touch my sister
01:12:45with your filthy hands!
01:12:48My new brother,
01:12:49Glorian.
01:12:50He stood beside me
01:12:51like an insurmountable wall.
01:12:53Evelyn is our sister!
01:12:54Sister?
01:12:55What an absolute joke.
01:12:57As brothers,
01:12:58you knew she was
01:12:58terrified of the dark,
01:12:59yet you forced her
01:13:00into the side palace?
01:13:01As brothers,
01:13:02you ignored her explanations
01:13:03and framed her
01:13:03based on a few
01:13:04petty lies?
01:13:05You even stood by
01:13:06and watched her
01:13:06sacrifice her own soul!
01:13:08Calder,
01:13:09do you feel guilty now?
01:13:11When you were
01:13:11accusing me back then,
01:13:12you never hesitated
01:13:13for a second.
01:13:14That's not true!
01:13:16It was Ella!
01:13:16She misled us
01:13:17the entire time!
01:13:18That was never
01:13:18our intention!
01:13:19And the sacrifice!
01:13:21We had absolutely
01:13:22no idea
01:13:23about the sacrifice!
01:13:24You didn't know?
01:13:25Does not knowing
01:13:26mean the damage
01:13:26never happened?
01:13:27Your ignorance
01:13:28was the deepest cut of all!
01:13:30Stop shifting the blame!
01:13:31It only makes you
01:13:32look more disgusting!
01:13:33Brother!
01:13:34Let it go!
01:13:35It's all in the past!
01:13:37Glorian nodded coldly,
01:13:38giving the three of them
01:13:39one last glare,
01:13:41before wrapping his arm
01:13:42around my shoulder
01:13:43to continue the ceremony.
01:13:45But Calder was still
01:13:46lost in his own head,
01:13:47refusing to accept reality.
01:13:49Have you completely
01:13:50forgotten all our
01:13:51beautiful memories?
01:13:52We lived together
01:13:53for 18x!
01:13:54Are you just going
01:13:55to throw all that
01:13:55happiness away?
01:13:56Those days were
01:13:57indeed happy,
01:13:58but you forgot,
01:13:59they also brought me
01:14:00nothing but heartbreak
01:14:02and pain.
01:14:03Your love used to be real,
01:14:05but after Ella came back,
01:14:07everything changed.
01:14:09Let's just leave it at this.
01:14:11Calder, Oliver,
01:14:13Cereal,
01:14:15just pretend my soul
01:14:16was annihilated.
01:14:19After saying that
01:14:20last sentence,
01:14:21I turned and walked away
01:14:22without a single
01:14:23shred of reluctant.
01:14:24Calder reached out
01:14:25in terror,
01:14:25begging me not to leave,
01:14:27while Oliver and
01:14:27Cereal yelled out
01:14:28in despair,
01:14:29begging me to listen
01:14:29to them.
01:14:30But why would I stop?
01:14:31A person who is
01:14:32completely heartbroken
01:14:33doesn't give second chances.
01:14:34They tried to rush
01:14:35forward again,
01:14:36but my real brother,
01:14:38Glorian,
01:14:38took a fierce step forward,
01:14:40blocking their path
01:14:41like an impassable
01:14:43divine wall.
01:14:45Enough!
01:14:45I'm warning you,
01:14:46back off!
01:14:47Otherwise,
01:14:48I wouldn't mind
01:14:48letting your souls
01:14:49experience true
01:14:50annihilation!
01:14:52Don't you still have
01:14:53your precious
01:14:53biological sister,
01:14:55Ayla?
01:14:55As for whether that
01:14:56woman actually
01:14:57shares your blood,
01:14:58I suggest you
01:14:58go with and look
01:14:59into it carefully.
01:15:00I didn't quite grasp
01:15:01what my brother meant,
01:15:02but I saw
01:15:03Ella's face drain
01:15:04of all color
01:15:04the moment she heard it.
01:15:07Glorian,
01:15:09what do you mean
01:15:10by that?
01:15:11Glorian didn't
01:15:11waste any more breath.
01:15:12He ordered them
01:15:13to be taken away.
01:15:14The divine guard
01:15:15stepped up immediately,
01:15:17dragging away
01:15:18the frantically
01:15:19struggling
01:15:20Calder,
01:15:21Oliver,
01:15:21and Cyril,
01:15:22along with a
01:15:23deathly pale
01:15:23Ella,
01:15:24like they were
01:15:24taking out the trash.
01:15:26You can't do this
01:15:27to us!
01:15:29My brother asked
01:15:30if I felt bad,
01:15:32but how could I?
01:15:34My tears had already
01:15:35run dry in Asgard.
01:15:37I don't care about
01:15:38them anymore,
01:15:39but I asked him
01:15:40what he meant
01:15:41about Ella.
01:15:41I found out
01:15:42that the woman
01:15:42named Ella
01:15:43personally murdered
01:15:44the Eldrick family's
01:15:45true lost daughter
01:15:46in the mortal Rielse
01:15:47years ago.
01:15:48She stripped a shred
01:15:49of her divine soul
01:15:50to pull off
01:15:50this imposter act.
01:15:53What?
01:15:56So,
01:15:56the one they
01:15:57protected and spoiled
01:15:58with their lives
01:15:59was actually
01:16:00the murderer
01:16:01of their real sister.
01:16:03It was the most
01:16:04absurd joke imaginable.
01:16:06But,
01:16:07I don't want to
01:16:08dwell on that anymore.
01:16:09Right now,
01:16:09I am walking
01:16:11toward my
01:16:11homecoming ceremony
01:16:12with my brother,
01:16:14Glorian,
01:16:14As for all
01:16:15that unpleasantness,
01:16:16I am leaving
01:16:17it behind.
01:16:21After my
01:16:22homecoming ceremony
01:16:23concluded,
01:16:23Calder,
01:16:24Oliver,
01:16:24and Sirin
01:16:24trod heavily
01:16:25back to Asgard,
01:16:26weighted down
01:16:26by inescapable grief.
01:16:28My dear mother
01:16:28and father
01:16:29looked upon
01:16:29the three of them
01:16:30broken and hollow
01:16:31and were struck
01:16:31dumb with shock.
01:16:33Then,
01:16:33at last,
01:16:33they learned the truth
01:16:34that my soul
01:16:35had not been
01:16:35utterly asnirated.
01:16:36The funniest part?
01:16:37Even now,
01:16:38they delude themselves
01:16:39into thinking
01:16:39I would come back
01:16:40to this so-called home
01:16:41and play out the scene
01:16:43of a happy family reunion.
01:16:44Impossible.
01:16:45I am the daughter
01:16:46of Odin,
01:16:46Hedlin.
01:16:47I will never set foot
01:16:48again in this cage
01:16:48that brought me
01:16:49nothing but endless
01:16:50pain and betrayal.
01:16:51Odin's daughter?
01:16:52Evelyn is Odin's daughter?
01:16:54That means she's
01:16:55never coming back.
01:16:56They were all drowning
01:16:57in boundless regret.
01:16:58Everyone in this hall
01:16:59grieved for my departure.
01:17:01All except one person.
01:17:02Ella.
01:17:03She could barely contain
01:17:03the wild joy in her eyes
01:17:05when she heard
01:17:05I was gone from Asgard
01:17:06for good.
01:17:07With triumphant delight
01:17:08blooming in her heart,
01:17:09she stepped forward
01:17:09on the softest feet,
01:17:11all sweet and obedient
01:17:12to my grieving mother
01:17:14and father.
01:17:14She put on her most
01:17:16thoughtful and tender look
01:17:17to soothe them,
01:17:18vowing with every word
01:17:20that she would stay
01:17:20by their side,
01:17:21by her brother's side,
01:17:23forever.
01:17:24Evelyn.
01:17:24No,
01:17:25goddess Hedlin has found
01:17:26her true family
01:17:27and returned to the place
01:17:28where she belongs.
01:17:28But it's okay,
01:17:30you still have me.
01:17:31I am your biological daughter,
01:17:33connected to you by blood.
01:17:34I am your only sister.
01:17:36From now on,
01:17:37I will always be here with you.
01:17:39I'll make up for Evelyn's absence
01:17:41and give you double the love...
01:17:43Stay with us.
01:17:44Ayla,
01:17:45do you really think
01:17:47you have the right
01:17:48to even utter the words
01:17:50biological sister?
01:17:55Ella's pitiful,
01:17:56fragile smile
01:17:57instantly froze
01:17:58on her face.
01:17:59She looked like
01:18:01she had turned to ice,
01:18:02her body beginning
01:18:03to tremble slightly.
01:18:05Ella's charade
01:18:06was finally coming
01:18:07to an end.
01:18:08Calder,
01:18:09my child,
01:18:11what kind of madness
01:18:12has gotten into you?
01:18:14We worked so hard
01:18:15to bring Ella back
01:18:16from the mortal realm.
01:18:18She is your real sister.
01:18:20I know the news
01:18:22about Evelyn.
01:18:23No,
01:18:23goddess Hedvin
01:18:24has hit you hard.
01:18:26But you absolutely
01:18:27cannot joke
01:18:28about something
01:18:28this serious.
01:18:29Calden didn't even
01:18:30glance at his parents.
01:18:31He just stared
01:18:32coldly at Ella.
01:18:33Ella was growing
01:18:34more and more anxious
01:18:35and terrified.
01:18:37Brother Carden,
01:18:37what's wrong?
01:18:39I'm Ella,
01:18:40the sister you swore
01:18:41to protect forever.
01:18:42You're scaring me
01:18:43looking at me like that.
01:18:44Ella,
01:18:45maybe we should call you
01:18:46by your real name,
01:18:48Lucy.
01:18:50Hearing that name,
01:18:52Ella violently flinched.
01:18:53She muttered,
01:18:54how is that possible?
01:18:56And collapsed
01:18:56onto the floor.
01:18:57Since you refuse
01:18:58to admit it,
01:18:59let's show everyone
01:19:00the truth.
01:19:05I love Rar.
01:19:10From now on,
01:19:11I am the most revered
01:19:12goddess of Asgard.
01:19:14Ellen let out
01:19:15a blood-curring scream,
01:19:16clutching her chest
01:19:17in agony,
01:19:18barely able to stand.
01:19:19Elder stared at the projection,
01:19:21shaking with fury.
01:19:22Ella,
01:19:22oh wait,
01:19:23we should call her Lucy now.
01:19:24Lucy composed herself
01:19:25and fell back
01:19:26on her pitiful disguise,
01:19:27frantically pleading her case.
01:19:29No!
01:19:30It's not what it looks like!
01:19:31Mom!
01:19:31Dad!
01:19:32I didn't mean to!
01:19:33I just wanted to survive!
01:19:34I gave you
01:19:35my whole heart
01:19:36these past two years!
01:19:37I truly saw you
01:19:38as my family!
01:19:39This time,
01:19:41Eldritch didn't fall
01:19:41for Lucy's lies.
01:19:43He slammed his seppler
01:19:44into the ground
01:19:45and banished Lucy forever.
01:19:47Shut up!
01:19:48You filthy murderer!
01:19:50In the name of the gods,
01:19:51I banish you!
01:19:53I banish you
01:19:54to the Ginninga Gap forever,
01:19:55to repent
01:19:56in eternal starvation
01:19:57and freezing cold.
01:19:59Two divine guards
01:19:59rushed forward
01:20:00and violently dragged
01:20:01a limp Lucy
01:20:01out of the hall.
01:20:02The air was filled
01:20:03with nothing
01:20:04but her streal begging.
01:20:06How pathetic.
01:20:08We threw away
01:20:09innocent Evelyn
01:20:10all for a murderer.
01:20:11We are the biggest fools
01:20:13in all the realms.
01:20:18The wicked Ella,
01:20:19no,
01:20:20I should call her Lucy,
01:20:21was finally punished.
01:20:22My parents and brothers
01:20:24found out
01:20:24what Lucy had done.
01:20:26Having learned
01:20:26the whole truth,
01:20:27they banished her
01:20:28to the Ginninga Gap.
01:20:29Her once exquisite
01:20:30and luxurious gowns
01:20:32were now reduced
01:20:32to filthy rags
01:20:34and her exposed skin
01:20:35was covered
01:20:36in frostbite
01:20:37and grime.
01:20:38This is the punishment
01:20:39she deserves.
01:20:42Get away!
01:20:44You lonely beast!
01:20:45However,
01:20:46a vile person like her
01:20:47would never admit
01:20:48she was wrong.
01:20:49She blamed everything
01:20:50on me.
01:20:51She resented me
01:20:52for leaving
01:20:52the Whispering Conch
01:20:53and resented
01:20:54my brother Glorian
01:20:55for exposing
01:20:56her identity.
01:20:57But she completely
01:20:58ignored the fact
01:20:59that she murdered
01:21:00the real Ella
01:21:00with her own hands.
01:21:02She was the one
01:21:03who stole
01:21:04twenty years
01:21:05of fake glory
01:21:06through lies
01:21:06and blood.
01:21:08Hidilin!
01:21:09You damn bitch!
01:21:11If you hadn't left
01:21:12that cursed
01:21:13whispering Conal,
01:21:15Calder and the others
01:21:16would never
01:21:16have abandoned me.
01:21:18I should be
01:21:19the most revered
01:21:20goddess of Asgard
01:21:20right now,
01:21:21pampered by
01:21:22my three brothers,
01:21:23not stuck
01:21:24in this hellhole!
01:21:26But it seems
01:21:26she finally got
01:21:27her chance
01:21:28to take revenge
01:21:29on me.
01:21:30Two divine servants
01:21:30were discussing
01:21:31my schedule.
01:21:32Did you hear?
01:21:33The newly returned
01:21:34Supreme Nushin,
01:21:35Hedilin,
01:21:35has sussed her damage.
01:21:36Oh,
01:21:37didn't she just
01:21:38return to Odin's side?
01:21:40I heard her divine power
01:21:41hasn't fully merged
01:21:42with her new divine body yet,
01:21:43so her soul
01:21:44is extremely unstable.
01:21:45The temple guards
01:21:46told me she'll
01:21:46secretly travel
01:21:47to the spirit pring
01:21:48on the borders of Asgard
01:21:49in a couple of days
01:21:50to heal.
01:21:50The water there
01:21:51can soothe
01:21:51Valtatil divine power.
01:21:53She happened
01:21:54to overhear the servants.
01:21:55A deeply vicious plan
01:21:57hatched in her mind.
01:21:58She wanted to drag me
01:22:00down to hell
01:22:00with her.
01:22:01Evelyn,
01:22:02since you took
01:22:03everything from me,
01:22:05I'm going to drag you
01:22:07down to hell with me.
01:22:08I'm going to make
01:22:09Calder,
01:22:10Oliver,
01:22:10and Sirian
01:22:11watch their precious
01:22:12sister die
01:22:13right at the hands
01:22:14of this fake.
01:22:21I sat in the cloud carriage
01:22:22because my soul
01:22:23and divine body
01:22:24had not fully fused.
01:22:26My aura
01:22:26was a bit chaotic.
01:22:27Suddenly,
01:22:28I felt the air
01:22:29ripple with discus waves
01:22:31and a faint purple mist
01:22:32with a rotten scent spread.
01:22:34Look out!
01:22:34I warned.
01:22:35In just one second,
01:22:36the two servants
01:22:37went limp
01:22:37and collapsed heavily
01:22:38into the rubble,
01:22:39unconscious.
01:22:40A twisted,
01:22:41sinister grin
01:22:41hung on her
01:22:42withered face,
01:22:43making her look
01:22:44like an evil spirit
01:22:45crawling straight
01:22:46out of hell.
01:22:47Oh, look at the
01:22:48noble,
01:22:48almighty,
01:22:49supreme goddess.
01:22:50You can't even
01:22:50stand up straight.
01:22:51She glared at me
01:22:52malevolously,
01:22:53her eyes brimming
01:22:54with unbridled madness.
01:22:55Evelyn,
01:22:55Oh, wait.
01:22:56I should call you
01:22:57Goddess Hedlund now.
01:22:58Long time no see.
01:22:59Long time no see,
01:23:00Lucy.
01:23:01Don't call me Lucy!
01:23:02I am the goddess
01:23:02of Asgard,
01:23:03Ella!
01:23:03That name was like
01:23:04a sharp needle
01:23:05piercing right into
01:23:06Lucy's strained nerves.
01:23:07She suddenly reached out,
01:23:09grabbed my long hair
01:23:10and yanked me backward.
01:23:11Feeling sleepy?
01:23:12This is a gift
01:23:13I went through
01:23:14a lot of trouble
01:23:14to find for you.
01:23:16Hallucinogenic plants
01:23:16that can put a divine soul
01:23:17to sleep permanently.
01:23:19Lucy pulled out
01:23:19a bundle of herbs,
01:23:21glowing with an eerie
01:23:22purple light,
01:23:23and shoved them
01:23:24in my face.
01:23:24Inhaling the strong scent,
01:23:26I lost all my strength
01:23:28and collapsed limply
01:23:29at her feet.
01:23:30Then she dragged me,
01:23:31like she was hauling prey,
01:23:33toward the ruins
01:23:34deep in the canyon.
01:23:36Be a good girl
01:23:37and go to sleep.
01:23:38When you wake up,
01:23:39I'll show you
01:23:40a magnificent play
01:23:41I've carefully prepared,
01:23:42one you'll never,
01:23:44ever forget.
01:23:46I was taken hostage
01:23:48by Lucy.
01:23:48She tied me up
01:23:49in the ruins
01:23:50of the old temple.
01:23:51She stood beside me,
01:23:52running her fingers
01:23:53across the cold stone pillars,
01:23:55a sick, crazed satisfaction
01:23:56dancing in her eyes.
01:23:58It was as if she wanted
01:23:59to skin me alive.
01:24:00Oh, you're awake?
01:24:01Don't rush.
01:24:02I'll call the actors
01:24:03for our grand play
01:24:04right now.
01:24:12Calder, Oliver, Cyril.
01:24:13Want to save
01:24:14your precious sister, Evelyn?
01:24:16Come and watch her die.
01:24:17This is your last chance.
01:24:19She is insane,
01:24:20actually wanting to summon
01:24:20Calder and the others
01:24:21to watch me die.
01:24:22I have to say,
01:24:23Lucy is a born villain.
01:24:25Before long,
01:24:26Calder, Oliver, and Cyril
01:24:27arrived at the old temple.
01:24:28Seeing me tied up,
01:24:29they looked incredibly anxious.
01:24:30That was a look
01:24:31I used to see
01:24:31the author Asgard,
01:24:32but I haven't seen it in ages.
01:24:33My god, brothers,
01:24:35you got here so fast.
01:24:37Looks like you really
01:24:38can't let go
01:24:39of your precious little sister.
01:24:41Lucy, let her go.
01:24:42What do you want?
01:24:43Divine status, power,
01:24:45all of Asgard's resources,
01:24:46Calder and the others
01:24:47frantically tried
01:24:48to persuade Lucy,
01:24:49begging her to let me go.
01:24:50But Lucy's madness
01:24:51was beyond their imagination.
01:24:53There was no way
01:24:54she would release me
01:24:55so easily.
01:24:55What touching promises.
01:24:58Too bad,
01:24:59I'd much rather hear
01:25:00the sound of Evelyn
01:25:01taking her last breath.
01:25:03In fact,
01:25:04hearing their words
01:25:05only made her
01:25:06press the dagger
01:25:06even closer to me.
01:25:12The icy dagger
01:25:13pressed tight
01:25:14against my throat,
01:25:15a glaring trail
01:25:16of blood
01:25:16instantly appeared.
01:25:18Calder stared
01:25:19at the blood
01:25:19on my neck,
01:25:20overcome
01:25:21with uncontrollable rage.
01:25:22This is just
01:25:23too ironic.
01:25:24Look at your faces.
01:25:25Now you remember
01:25:26to treat me
01:25:27like a sister?
01:25:28Too late.
01:25:29You sure didn't
01:25:30sound like this
01:25:31when you kicked me
01:25:32out of Asgard
01:25:32like garbage.
01:25:33Lucy, listen.
01:25:34As long as
01:25:35Evelyn is safe,
01:25:36we swear we'll make it up
01:25:37to you a thousand times over.
01:25:38That's right,
01:25:38we'll give you
01:25:39the highest privileges
01:25:39of a goddess.
01:25:40We swear on our divinity,
01:25:41just put the dagger down.
01:25:42I watched them coldly
01:25:43as they begged Lucy,
01:25:45trying to stabilize her.
01:25:46I just found it amusing.
01:25:48Do they really still think
01:25:49I'm that pitiful
01:25:50little sister
01:25:51who has to rely on them,
01:25:52who can't survive
01:25:53without them?
01:25:54Oh, listen to these
01:25:54enchanting vows.
01:25:56But I'm not a
01:25:57three-year-old child.
01:25:58Do you really think
01:25:58I'd buy that?
01:25:59Lucy's eyes
01:25:59instantly turned
01:26:01as cold and vicious
01:26:02as a viper's,
01:26:03and her grip
01:26:04on the dagger tightened.
01:26:06The second I let her go,
01:26:07you'll turn right around
01:26:08and use your most brutal magic
01:26:09to tear me to pieces,
01:26:10won't you?
01:26:11No,
01:26:12we absolutely wouldn't-
01:26:13I don't believe a word of it!
01:26:14Since you can never forget
01:26:15this precious treasure of yours,
01:26:17then perfect!
01:26:17I'm gonna make you live
01:26:18in a nightmare
01:26:19for the rest of your lives.
01:26:20I'll make you watch
01:26:21your beloved sister die
01:26:22right in front of your eyes
01:26:23while you great almighty brothers
01:26:25stand there
01:26:26as helpless as garbage!
01:26:27She completely lost her mind,
01:26:29roaring!
01:26:29Go to hell!
01:26:30She thrust the dagger
01:26:32toward my heart
01:26:33with all her might.
01:26:36Driven by an apocalyptic madness,
01:26:39Lucy's dagger plunged
01:26:40toward my heart.
01:26:41Calder, Oliver,
01:26:42Cyril,
01:26:43my three good brothers
01:26:44were roaring in despair,
01:26:46throwing themselves forward
01:26:47recklessly,
01:26:48but they were too far away.
01:26:50They couldn't save me,
01:26:51just like they couldn't
01:26:52stop my sacrifice back then.
01:26:54They were utterly powerless,
01:26:55but it's okay.
01:26:56I am not weak like I used to be.
01:26:58My father is Odin,
01:27:00the supreme god,
01:27:01and my brother is Gael Orion,
01:27:03the god of war
01:27:04of the supreme divine realm.
01:27:06The person I am today
01:27:07won't let Hercoclef be slaughtered
01:27:09like she was in the past.
01:27:10My real brother, Glorian,
01:27:12landed steadily beside me,
01:27:14wielding the sword of eternity.
01:27:15That's right.
01:27:16I have a brother to protect me now.
01:27:18I don't need my old brothers anymore.
01:27:20My brother will take me home.
01:27:21He will protect me,
01:27:22and he will never break my heart.
01:27:24Let's go home.
01:27:25This place reeks
01:27:26of nauseating hypocrisy.
01:27:28Staying even one more second
01:27:29makes me sick.
01:27:30No!
01:27:30Evelyn, goddess Hedlund,
01:27:31please,
01:27:32just give us one more chance
01:27:33to explain!
01:27:34Calder and the others
01:27:35still wanted to explain themselves,
01:27:37but to me,
01:27:38it didn't matter anymore.
01:27:39I've decided to start
01:27:40a brand new life.
01:27:43My bedchamber was magnificent.
01:27:46Countless treasures
01:27:47were practically piled
01:27:49into mountains.
01:27:50I looked at them in awe.
01:27:51Father,
01:27:52brother,
01:27:53this is way too many gifts,
01:27:55and every single piece
01:27:57is so incredibly precious.
01:28:00My daughter,
01:28:02you are our most precious
01:28:03little princess.
01:28:05You deserve every precious thing
01:28:07in this world.
01:28:08He's right,
01:28:09Hedlund.
01:28:09If you want it,
01:28:11I'll give you,
01:28:11I'll give the entire starry sky.
01:28:13These words,
01:28:14someone used to say them
01:28:16to me too,
01:28:16but...
01:28:17Hedlund,
01:28:18my dear sister,
01:28:19please rest assured.
01:28:20I, Glorvian,
01:28:21swear I named him
01:28:21the god of war.
01:28:22I will spoil you forever.
01:28:23This love will never fade.
01:28:25I couldn't hold back
01:28:26my emotions any longer.
01:28:27I stepped forward
01:28:28and hugged Glorian tightly,
01:28:30feeling the very real warmth
01:28:32radiating from him.
01:28:36Father comfortedly
01:28:37patted my shoulder as well.
01:28:39Silly girl,
01:28:40this will always be your home.
01:28:43From now on,
01:28:44no one will ever cause you
01:28:45even the slightest bit
01:28:47of grief again.
01:28:55Look, brothers.
01:28:57These are the crystals
01:28:58I made for you
01:28:59with my own hands.
01:29:00We're going to be together forever.
01:29:04I pushed Evelyn away
01:29:05with my own hands.
01:29:06I deserve to die.
01:29:07I deserve to die.
01:29:08These eyes,
01:29:09she gouged them out
01:29:10to give them to me,
01:29:11yet I...
01:29:12What the hell was I doing?
01:29:13She's right up there,
01:29:14in that supreme divine temple
01:29:16we can never reach.
01:29:17She's never going to look
01:29:18back at us again.
01:29:20Goodbye, Calder,
01:29:21Oliver, Cyril.
01:29:23Goodbye
01:29:23to the me
01:29:25who was Evelyn.
01:29:26My past is buried
01:29:27right here,
01:29:28right now,
01:29:29and my present and future
01:29:30will bloom brilliantly
01:29:32from this moment on.
01:29:34I'm going to be here.
01:29:35I'm going to be here.
01:29:37I'm going to be here.
01:29:37I'm going to be here.
01:29:37I'm going to be here.
