Short filmTranscript
00:00In my last life, my sister and I were sent to the god realm to marry gods.
00:04My older sister married Leon, the god of fire.
00:07She gave birth to a griffin and helped him become the high king.
00:10I married Chiron, the god of water, but I couldn't give birth to a child.
00:15Chiron lost the throne to Leon and took his anger out on me.
00:18He tore my soul core apart and crushed the baby spirit inside me.
00:22When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the wedding selection day.
00:26This time, Chiron tried everything to please my sister and successfully married her.
00:32He thinks she will give him a griffin so he can take the throne,
00:36but he doesn't know that I carry the holy fire bloodline.
00:39Only by joining with the god of fire can I give birth to the legendary phoenix.
00:43On the day of the selection, the god realm was shining with light.
00:47It was a grand celebration, but for me, a lowly elf princess, it felt like a funeral.
00:52I stood in line with other princesses, looking up at the gods who looked down on us.
00:57Treon is so handsome and perfect.
01:00Marrying the gentle Treon is a dream, not like that angry Leon.
01:05Beside me, my sister Leah heard this.
01:07She looked at Chiron and blushed.
01:09In my last life, I thought the same thing.
01:12I was born to a lowly concubine.
01:14I was only chosen because I inherited my mother's beauty.
01:17Chiron chose me, and everyone envied me.
01:19My sister, the noble princess, always loved Chiron, but she was forced to marry Leon instead.
01:26At first, life was wonderful.
01:28Chiron was gentle and caring, just like the legend said.
01:31I thought I had finally found happiness, but it was actually the start of hell.
01:36Everything changed one year later.
01:38My sister became pregnant and gave birth to a rare griffin.
01:42The high king was so happy that he started favoring Leon, but my belly remained empty.
01:47Slowly, Chiron changed.
01:49He became impatient.
01:50He forced me to take banned drugs just to produce a child, but he is the god of water,
01:55and I am an elf of fire.
01:57Our powers clashed.
01:58For a hundred years, I suffered through forbidden magic, but I could not get pregnant.
02:03Finally, the high king couldn't wait anymore.
02:06He named Leon the heir and gave him the throne.
02:09That same day, Chiron came home full of rage.
02:12He tore my soul core and crushed my unborn child.
02:15I saw the spirit of my baby for one second.
02:18With my last breath, I grabbed his robe and begged.
02:21Please, I don't care if I die, but save our child.
02:26Chiron kicked me away and held the baby's spirit in his hand.
02:29Leon is king now.
02:30This brag is useless.
02:32Both of you die.
02:34He crushed my child right in front of my eyes.
02:36My poor baby never got to open its eyes before being killed by its own father.
02:40My soul vanished along with my child.
02:43I never expected to be reborn on the day of the selection.
02:46Hatred made my fingers cold as I looked at Chiron, but I noticed something strange.
02:51This time, he was staring at my plain-looking sister.
02:54I realized it instantly.
02:56He was reborn too.
02:57Gods, you may choose your partners.
03:00The high king announced the start of the ceremony.
03:03In my last life, Chiron was the first to choose.
03:06He walked straight to me and picked me instantly.
03:09But this time, he walked straight to my sister, Leah.
03:13Father, I wish to marry Princess Leah of the Elf Clan.
03:16Chiron, are you sure?
03:18Yes, Father.
03:18My mind is made up.
03:19My sister was overjoyed.
03:21She grabbed Chiron's hand.
03:23Only then did Chiron turn to look at me, as if by accident.
03:27His eyes were like a knife stabbing deep into my heart.
03:30Suddenly, a warm hand grabbed my wrist.
03:33I turned around and looked into a pair of dark, ink-colored eyes.
03:36He held my wrist high and announced to everyone,
03:40I want her.
03:43No one expected Leon, the proud god of fire, to choose me.
03:48Chiron's face darkened.
03:49Leon, don't say I didn't warn you.
03:51Choosing such a weak elf princess as your wife will only lead to regret later.
03:55My chest tightened, and I wanted to speak.
03:59But Leon's hand slid down and gripped mine firmly.
04:02Chiron, worry about your own partner and stay out of my business.
04:06I like this elf girl.
04:07Whether she is weak or her aura damaged, I find her charming.
04:11I'm taking her.
04:12My heart skipped a beat.
04:13No one had ever chosen me so firmly.
04:16Everyone else was stunned too.
04:18Then, the queen laughed behind her hand, breaking the awkward silence.
04:23Leon has always been like this.
04:24If he likes her, let them be together.
04:26Leon was the favorite child, and the king and queen spoiled him deeply.
04:30Beside us, Chiron glared at me and let out a cold laugh.
04:34Leon, who would want such a useless piece of trap?
04:37In less than a hundred years, you'll hate her.
04:40I'll be waiting to see the day you cry and regret.
04:42My older sister and I returned to the elf realm to wait for our wedding.
04:47On the wedding day, Leah came to my room.
04:50She looked at my thin, poor dowry and mocked me.
04:53Ella, even we both marrying gods, you are still just a lowly elf.
04:57You must remember, I am marrying the future king, while you are marrying a god with a violent temper.
05:04Don't come crying to me when you suffer in the god realm.
05:06I don't want to deal with you.
05:08I looked at Leah's arrogant face and laughed inside.
05:11My dear sister, I hope you never experienced the pain I felt in my last life.
05:16My sister and I were both married into the god realm.
05:19As the eldest son of the king, Chiron's wedding was incredibly grand.
05:24Leah's wedding was spectacular.
05:27Everyone in the elf and human realms praised her.
05:30They said she had reached the heavens and would one day be queen, bringing luck to the world.
05:36I looked up at Leah, sitting on the back of a divine beast with Chiron.
05:40But I felt no envy at all.
05:43In my last life, I was the one in that spot.
05:47Back then, I naively thought Chiron was perfect and that we would be happy forever.
05:53While I was lost in thought, the shadow of a giant black dragon suddenly appeared in the sky.
05:59The dragon's roar shook the world and pierced through the clouds.
06:03The crowd gasped in shock until the dragon landed in front of me and turned into a man.
06:09Leon wore a long black robe.
06:11He reached out, grabbed my waist, and pulled me tightly into his arms.
06:16Then, right in front of everyone, he gave me a firm kiss on my cheek.
06:21Forget those boring rituals.
06:23Come with me.
06:24Suddenly, I was lifted off my feet.
06:27Under the gaze of the entire elf realm, Leon carried me straight up to the god realm.
06:32Chiron and Leah's spotlight was completely stolen.
06:35Leon was deeply loved by the king and queen, and his palace sat in the most beautiful spot in the
06:40realm.
06:42After bringing me back, Leon said,
06:44Ella, from now on, this is your home.
06:48My heart suddenly felt tight and emotional.
06:51Since my mother passed away, I haven't had a home.
06:55The Leon in front of me was not as arrogant as the legend said.
06:59I remembered in my last life, whenever he appeared with Leah, he always seemed distracted and impatient.
07:06There were even rumors among the maids that Leah only got pregnant so fast because she used love spells.
07:14But back then, I was too worried about my own life to care about their relationship.
07:19I used to think Leon was hard to get along with.
07:21But now I see that isn't true.
07:23He is taller and more handsome than Chiron.
07:27When he looks at me, his dark eyes are always bright.
07:31Almost as if...
07:33As if he has been looking at me like this for a long time.
07:36My cheeks turned bright red.
07:39Leon smiled and gently tilted my chin up.
07:46Suddenly, the voice of a soldier came from outside.
07:51Lord Leon, Typhon has escaped from the abyss.
07:55Wait for me.
07:56He whispered before turning toward the battlefield.
07:59I watched him go.
08:01My heart a swirl of unspoken emotions.
08:05Meanwhile, rumors spread of Chiron and Leah's perfect romance.
08:09Chiron showered her with rare herbs and accompanied her home in a display of public devotion.
08:15Naturally, the people of the elf realm didn't miss the chance to mock me.
08:20What was the point of that flashy wedding?
08:22She's just a lonely widow in a big house now.
08:24How pathetic.
08:28No one came to serve my palace since Leon left, likely on someone's orders.
08:33Aside from my two original maids, I was left entirely alone.
08:37Even the standard offerings of celestial herbs and spirit stones vanished without a trace.
08:42But I didn't care.
08:43My palace was full of treasures Leon told me to use freely.
08:47Having been weak since my mother's death, I finally began to heal.
08:51Using the divine herbs daily, I repaired my cracked core within years.
08:55My sickly pale skin began to glow.
08:58Even my maids noticed.
09:00Ella is becoming so radiant.
09:02Lord Leon will be enchanted when he returns.
09:04I blushed at the thought, but Leon had yet to return.
09:08Soon, a dark rumor began to circulate throughout God Realm.
09:12They whispered that Princess Ella carried out.
09:14Fire. Curse.
09:17That would bring ruin to her partner, and that Leon might never return from the abyss because of it.
09:26The tension surrounding me and the fire palace finally reached a breaking point at a grand feast organized by Chiron.
09:32I hadn't planned on attending, but my sister Leah sent a formal invitation,
09:37claiming that with Leon away, it was my duty to represent him.
09:40I had no choice but to go.
09:42I had my maids craft a sweeping black robe and pulled my soft, flowing hair into a high, sharp ponytail.
09:49I looked like a mirror image of Leon himself.
09:53When I arrived, the entire hall fell silent in shock.
09:58Leah, however, did not look well after these few years.
10:01Her face had an unnatural flush.
10:04Her figure was bloated, and her eyes were clouded with exhaustion.
10:07When she saw me, her gaze instantly filled with malice and envy.
10:13Ella, I didn't expect you to thrive so much while Leon is missing!
10:17I smiled calmly.
10:19Sister, you flatter me.
10:21I am simply waiting for my husband's return.
10:24At that moment, Chiron, who had been staring at me in silence, suddenly spoke.
10:29Husband.
10:30How affectionately you call him.
10:32My expression remained unshaking as I met his gaze.
10:35Chiron, surely you jet.
10:37Leon and I are wed.
10:39Husband is the only natural title.
10:41As soon as those words left my mouth, Chiron's expression turned deathly cold.
10:47Even Leah noticed something was wrong.
10:49Chiron?
10:50What is the meaning of this?
10:52To everyone's shock, Chiron violently shook off her hand.
10:58He stared at me.
10:59Ella, do you truly think marrying a warm, warring god of fire gave you a good home?
11:06How can you even compare to Leah?
11:09And how can Leon possibly compare to me?
11:11The entire hall fell into a stunned silence.
11:15In the quiet, I let out a soft laugh.
11:18Kynon, Leon has never cared to compare himself to you.
11:22And there is no need to compare me to my sister.
11:25But as the eldest brother, it is improper for you to speak El of my husband in my presence.
11:33With that, I turned to leave.
11:35But my words seemed to snap Chiron's restraint entirely.
11:38He lunged forward and grabbed my arm with terrifying force.
11:42Ella!
11:43You wouldn't dare!
11:45You wouldn't dare fall for him!
11:47I tried to shake him off, but his grip was like an iron shackle.
11:51Just as the tension reached its breaking point, a streak of crimson light flashed into the hall from outside.
11:57A razor-sharp blade sliced through the air, aimed directly at the arm Chiron used to hold me.
12:03Startled, Leah got spooked and hid.
12:06The momentum sent me stumbling backward, but a second later, a familiar, powerful arm caught me firmly by the waist.
12:12I heard that voice.
12:14Kiren, I show you respect.
12:17Only because you are my elder brother.
12:20Lay one hand on her again, and I will sever this arm from your body.
12:26Leon's sudden appearance completely shifted the energy of the feast.
12:30As the eldest son, Chiron held a supreme position in God Realm.
12:33But Leon's power as the god of war was not to be underestimated.
12:37In all the years prior, the two had never clashed openly.
12:41Leon was usually easygoing and indifferent to most things, showing no interest in the throne, which led Chiron to keep
12:47a respectful distance.
12:49In my past life, Chiron even warned me to avoid Leon to prevent unnecessary rumors.
12:54Blinded by my love for him, I never disobeyed.
12:57I died without ever seeing them tear off their masks of civility.
13:00But in this life, the unexpected was happening.
13:04Chiron stared at Leon, who held me protectively in his arms.
13:08His expression twisted with suppressed rage.
13:11After a long moment, he regained a forced calm.
13:15You're back, Leon. I was merely having a chat with Ella.
13:18Why such anger?
13:20Has years of war made your temper even more explosive?
13:23He was the one being insulting, yet he had the nerve to claim Leon was the one losing control.
13:27In that moment, I finally understood how the rumors of Leon's explosive temper had started.
13:35Chiron's plan was simple.
13:36Who would want a volatile, unstable god on the throne?
13:39To the world, the gentle god of water was the obvious choice for king.
13:43I glanced at Leon, but he looked completely unbothered.
13:47Clearly used to Chiron's slander.
13:49A surge of rage boiled inside me.
13:51If not for my past life, even I wouldn't have known that Chiron was a total hypocrite.
13:57In my last life, he spent decades forcing me to take forbidden drugs.
14:01He watched me cough up blood and scream in agony from the backfiring spells,
14:06only to sneer at me with contempt.
14:10How is it your sister produced a griffin so easily, yet you can't even carry a single cub?
14:17Drink it.
14:18Drink every last drop.
14:21If you can't give me a kid, you might as well be dead.
14:24Yet, that same cruel monster would act like a devoted, doting husband the moment anyone else was watching.
14:31Living with that extreme duality was a constant nightmare.
14:34He tortured me then, and now, he was trying to ruin Leon.
14:39The hatred from two lifetimes boiled over.
14:41I gripped Leon's hand tightly, and raised my voice in defiance.
14:45Chiron, your words are utterly absurd.
14:49You just laid hands on me without cause.
14:51Is this how a god behaves?
14:53If Leon hadn't have returned in time, you would have surely broken my arm.
14:57A woman's reputation is everything.
15:00Had Leon not seen this with his own eyes, rumors would have run wild, and I would have had no
15:04way to clear my name.
15:07You were the one who acted disrespectfully before the gods, yet you dare blame Leon for his anger?
15:12While Leon and his warriors bled in the abbess to protect Olympus, you sat comfortably in this hall.
15:18Instead of worrying for his safety, you insulted his wife.
15:21Where is the justice in that?
15:23Do you not fear disheartening every warrior currently fighting on the front lines?
15:27As my words echoed through the hall, everyone stood frozen in absolute shock.
15:32Since arriving on God Realm, I had been silent and invisible.
15:35I never saw conflict, which was why they felt so comfortable neglecting me.
15:41Even Leon was stunned by my fierce rebuttal.
15:43His eyes widened with a look of pure, joyful surprise.
15:47Chiron, on the other hand, looked as though his face had been carved from permafrost.
15:52Yet, he couldn't find a single word to counter me.
15:55The banquet ended in a disastrous chill.
15:58Soon, rumors began to swirl that the god of water had acted improperly toward the god of fire's wife while
16:04he was away at battle.
16:06Because I had framed it as an insult to every soldier on the front lines, the scandal exploded.
16:11When the High King caught wind of it, he summoned Chiron and gave him a scathing reprimand.
16:16He even ordered Chiron into isolation to reflect on his actions, a massive blow to his pride.
16:23In a way, I had finally avenged the version of myself from my past life.
16:29Leon returned victorious, but he was still buried in military affairs.
16:33I, too, hadn't quite figured out how to act around him.
16:37That day, Leon went to the High King's palace for a meeting, but an uninvited guest arrived at my palace.
16:44I looked at Leah's venomous expression and felt a wave of weariness.
16:48Sis, we both married into the god realm.
16:50If we can't support each other, fine.
16:53But why make things so difficult?
16:55When did you seduce Chiron?
16:57You made him humiliate himself for you at the feast!
17:02Your mother was just a lowly servant who seduced our father.
17:06And you're just like her.
17:08How dare you ruin my perfect marriage?
17:11Her insults toward my late mother turned my blood cold.
17:15Sister, if it were truly a perfect marriage, how could I ruin it so easily?
17:21Besides, in all these years, I've barely seen the god of water, and you were always there.
17:26When exactly did you see me seduce him?
17:30Let me be clear.
17:32My heart belongs only to my husband.
17:35I adore him.
17:37And I couldn't care less about your precious water god.
17:40Just as the words left my mouth, a soft chuckle came from the doorway.
17:45I turned to find Leon standing there, his eyes sparkling with mischief and delight.
17:50My face instantly turned bright red.
17:53What on earth did I just say?
17:55Leah left with a face pale from fury.
17:59Meanwhile, Leon, having heard my passionate confession, slowly approached.
18:05Blushing and speechless, I backed away until he pinned me against the couch, a playful smirk on his lips.
18:13My lady.
18:15What was it you just said?
18:20Nothing.
18:21I said nothing.
18:23I could have sworn I heard you say you adore me.
18:27I...
18:28Before I could protest, Leon silenced me with a kiss.
18:31When the union finally began, he revealed the predatory nature of a primordial god.
18:36He was relentless, leaving me breathless and half-spent.
18:40Only after such intimacy did I realize that the volatile god of fire could be so incredibly tender to his
18:45wife.
18:46Since then, Leon and I truly began our life together as a married couple.
18:52Gradually, I discovered that the previously dormant core within my body was beginning to clear.
19:01My chronically cold hands and feet grew warm, as if an ethereal flame were burning within me.
19:08Yet, it didn't feel scorching.
19:11Instead, I felt my soul and body strengthening day by day.
19:15I finally understood why I could never conceive in my past life.
19:21My inner core is fire-attributed, while Chiron is the god of water.
19:26His core was icy and damp, a fatal mismatch for mine.
19:31In my previous life, simply neutralizing the water energy he forced upon me exhausted all my core's strength.
19:39With a volatile and weakened foundation, how could I have ever nurtured a kid?
19:45The baby I finally conceived, after being forced to ingest countless forbidden drugs, was heartlessly crushed to death by him.
19:55Now that I am married to the god of fire, our cores are in perfect harmony.
20:01During our occasional dual cultivation, I feel my body becoming warm and incredibly light.
20:08It made me wonder, what could my true form be?
20:12Just as I was lost in thought, a piece of news swept through the god realm.
20:18Princess Leia, the wife of the water god, was pregnant.
20:23The princesses of the mortal realm, Leia, and I all wed on the same day.
20:28While Leon was at war, the two mortal princesses both conceived and gave birth to Kid.
20:34Meanwhile, the rumors grew cruel.
20:37Elf princesses were less fertile than humans.
20:41Since Leon had been away, I wasn't concerned.
20:44But I knew Leia had secretly sought spirit medicines many times.
20:48I understood Chiron's agonizing forbidden arts better than anyone.
20:53Leia's life these past few years must have been a misery that withered her beauty.
20:57Now, finally pregnant, she could hold her head high.
21:02Her news even restored the high king's standing with Zeus, placing him back at the center of power.
21:08I saw her again at a god realm banquet.
21:11Her face was caked in thick powder, yet it failed to mask her deathly pallor.
21:16Still, the moment she saw me, she struck a triumphant pose and sneered.
21:20Ella, you and Leon have been married for years now.
21:23Why hasn't there been any news of a child?
21:26You can't even give birth of a kid.
21:28You're a disgrace to our demigod clan.
21:29If people start thinking our kind is infertile,
21:33how will you take responsibility for ruining our reputation?
21:37I looked at her sickly, pale face and sighed.
21:41There are many fire bloodlines in the elf clan and you are no exception.
21:45Now that you're pregnant, you know best how much you're suffering.
21:49Instead of Bickley with me, you should spend that energy figuring out how to survive what's coming.
21:54As I spoke, Chiron stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Leia's waist.
21:58Our child is our business. Don't bother yourself with it.
22:03Ella, perhaps I shouldn't say this, but a useless woman who can't conceive really ought to stay hidden at home.
22:10Don't bring your bad luck into public spaces.
22:13He turned a mocking grin toward Leon, who was standing right behind me.
22:18My poor brother.
22:20I'm afraid you won't see a child for a hundred years.
22:23Best of luck with that.
22:25The surrounding immortals cast pitying and scornful glances at us.
22:29I looked at Leon, feeling a sharp pang of guilt.
22:32I knew how much a child meant to a god.
22:34Having a brilliant and powerful divine beast as an heir
22:38is a crucial factor in becoming the successor to the High King.
22:42In my last life, even though Leon and my sister were at odds,
22:46she still bore him a griffin, which ultimately helped him ascend to the throne.
22:51But in this life, though we have been married for years and are deeply in love,
22:56my womb remained silent, my heart sank at the thought,
22:59and my eyes began to sting with unshed tears.
23:03Leon, however, didn't spare a glance for the mocking crowd.
23:06He reached out, gently pinching my cheek.
23:10Why are you crying?
23:11What does a child matter?
23:14Are the two of us not happy together?
23:17But...
23:18No buts.
23:19Leon gripped my hand, turning his back on the staring gods as he led me out.
23:23I have you, and that is enough.
23:25I know what you're worried about, Ella, but you have to trust me.
23:29Your husband is the god of war.
23:31The throne was never meant to be won through a child.
23:34My tears finally spilled over as Leon pulled me into a tight embrace.
23:38On an ordinary morning, I was suddenly overcome by nausea and chest tightness.
23:44Leon was terrified...
23:46Doctor!
23:46...and summoned the celestial physician,
23:49only to discover...
23:50...I was already three months pregnant.
23:52He spun me around in his arms, radiating pure joy.
23:55Even the high king and queen were overjoyed, granting her countless magical herbs.
24:01Leah, now heavily pregnant and nearing her term, looked at me with bitter resentment.
24:06I wonder what desperate methods a lowly body like yours had to use to conceive.
24:11I tilted my head with a smile.
24:13I suppose because your own journey was so difficult, you assume everyone else must resort to extreme measures.
24:22She shot me a glare and stormed off.
24:25I watched her go, my smile fading into a heavy sigh.
24:29A dark, lingering premonition began to crawl into my heart.
24:33Sure enough, on the day Leah gave birth, wild winds roared through the god realm,
24:38accompanied by thunder and lightning.
24:41The high king and queen led the other gods, waiting outside the room.
24:45But after a day and a night of Leah's agonizing screams,
24:49she gave birth to a harpy hatchling.
24:52A slick, twisted creature with mangled wings,
24:55a bird's torso, and a fish's tail.
24:59It was hideous.
25:01A grotesque deformity of nature.
25:05What is this thing?
25:06Why isn't it a griffin?
25:07Where is my kid?
25:10Useless!
25:10You are all useless!
25:14No!
25:20How could you kill him?
25:22He was your own flesh and blood.
25:25You butchers!
25:26I'll kill you!
25:27I'll avenge my child!
25:29This is not my child.
25:31I could never father such a freak.
25:33Father!
25:34Kyren knelt down before the god king.
25:36This useless woman is to blame.
25:38Please let me divorce her and marry another.
25:41I promise I will produce a griffin heir.
25:44I know for a fact that I can do it.
25:47You monster!
25:49But the god king kicked him away in rage.
25:52That child is your own flesh and blood.
25:54How can you be so cruel and heartless?
25:57Your mother and I are ashamed of you.
26:00Stay here and reflect on your sins alone.
26:04Do not take a single step outside this door!
26:07I watched Kyren quietly with pure satisfaction.
26:10He thought rebirth would bring him a griffin.
26:12He believed he could reclaim the throne easily.
26:15But now, all his golden dreams have shattered.
26:18Failing to sire a griffin wasn't my sister's fault.
26:21The water god's own soul core was the true problem.
26:24In our past life, he blamed everything on me.
26:26In this life, he blames my sister instead.
26:29Yet, he refuses to look at his own flaws.
26:31He cannot face his failures or his weaknesses.
26:34So he is destined for a miserable end.
26:37Leah was deeply traumatized by the loss.
26:39The king and queen personally sent her home.
26:42They returned her to the elven realm safely.
26:44The god realm gave mystic herbs and crystals.
26:47These gifts were meant to be compensation.
26:49But a child's death causes a broken heart.
26:52Material things can never heal such a wound.
26:55In a flash, my own baby was ready to be born.
26:58Leon was terrified because of the past accident.
27:00He prepared every magic tonics and made every plan.
27:04But he still panicked when the day arrived.
27:07He held my hand and shook uncontrollably.
27:10He cried out,
27:11Ella, Ella, please be okay.
27:13I could barely breathe from the intense pain.
27:16Yet, I still had to try and comfort him.
27:18I am fine.
27:20Don't worry.
27:21However, during delivery, things went truly wrong.
27:25As the beast was born,
27:27the palace suddenly burst into flames from the intense heat.
27:30The divine healers were all in a panic.
27:33They couldn't withstand the fire and were forced to retreat outside.
27:37Only Leon showed no fear of the raging inferno,
27:41rushing in without a second thought to stay by my side.
27:45Don't be afraid.
27:47The flames roared all around us.
27:49But Leon and I didn't feel the heat at all.
27:53In a flash of light,
27:54a golden red feathered creature like a ball of fire soared into the sky.
28:00Standing outside the door,
28:02the god king's eyes lit up instantly.
28:04A phoenix!
28:06It's a phoenix!
28:08Without a single word being sent,
28:11the entire god realm already knew.
28:14The god of fire's wife had given birth to a fire phoenix,
28:17a miracle seen only once in 10,000 years.
28:22The god king was overjoyed
28:24and announced that he would pass the throne to the god of fire.
28:28The coronation would take place during his son's 100th day banquet.
28:32But Leon, the man who was about to become the next god king,
28:37was currently by my side with tears in his eyes.
28:40He held my hand,
28:42kissing it with such tenderness and pain.
28:46Ella, I'm never letting you go through childbirth again.
28:49You scared me to death.
28:51I looked at this god of war crying for me
28:54and finally couldn't help but ask the question buried deep in my heart.
28:58Leon, why are you so good to me?
29:01Leon leaned in and gave me a gentle kiss on the forehead.
29:05Silly girl,
29:06how do you think you came back?
29:09I begged my mother
29:10and used up 10,000 years of magic
29:12just to turn the wheel of reconnation and bring you back.
29:17I've loved you since the very first moment I saw you in our past life.
29:23If you hadn't been so deeply in love with Chiro,
29:26I never would have let you marry him.
29:28Tears streamed down my face.
29:30I never imagined that all of this was because of Leon.
29:34He was the one who brought me back.
29:38Leon held my hand with such devotion,
29:40like I was the most precious thing in the world.
29:42Ella,
29:44this time,
29:45I finally didn't lose you.
29:48He's right.
29:50This time,
29:51we finally held on to each other.
29:54Just when everyone thought the dust had settled,
29:56a surge of dark energy suddenly burst into the palace.
30:01I gasped,
30:02and looking closer,
30:03I realized it was actually Chiron.
30:06He looked like he'd lost his mind.
30:09No!
30:10This isn't right!
30:12There must be a mistake!
30:14This is my child!
30:16Ella is my wife!
30:17Only I can father a griffon!
30:19Only I can father a phoenix!
30:23Leon drew his god-slaying blade,
30:25shielding me completely behind him,
30:27but Chiron still glared at me in a total frenzy.
30:30Come with me.
30:31We can definitely give birth to an ostrich beast.
30:33Let's go!
30:34You're my wife!
30:36Come with me!
30:37With that,
30:37he lunged forward,
30:39only to be kicked right out of the palace by Leon.
30:43The god king was furious when he saw him like this.
30:47I told you to stay locked away and reflect on your sins.
30:50Who gave you permission to come here?
30:52Get lost!
30:53But Chiron had already lost it.
30:55He raised his sword and lunged forward.
30:57I'm the eldest son!
30:59Why are you giving the throne to him?
31:04I might as well kill you and take the throne myself!
31:09The god king was livid and ordered the divine guards to take him down,
31:13but Chiron was out of control.
31:15His power was so immense that they couldn't restrain him.
31:19He broke free from the guards and thrust his sword straight at the god king.
31:23At the last second, a long blade pierced through Chiron's chest from behind.
31:29Chiron turned around, only to find that the one holding the god-slaying blade wasn't Leon.
31:35It was me.
31:36Chiron froze on the spot, staring down in disbelief at the blade sticking out of his chest.
31:42Ella.
31:44Ella.
31:46I looked down, a single tear flashing in my eyes.
31:50My hand trembled slightly as I gripped the hilt.
31:53This is for my baby, who never got the chance to be born.
31:58Chiron's eyes widened in shock.
32:00In that moment, he finally realized that I had been reborn too.
32:04He tried to speak, tried to beg for forgiveness.
32:08I didn't.
32:12But it was too late.
32:13It was all too late.
32:16Carrying countless regrets and bitter remorse, Chiron collapsed in front of everyone.
32:21The water god who was once so brilliant, the one every goddess dreamed of marrying,
32:27that hypocritical, gentle god who murdered his own wife and child with his own hands,
32:33had finally fallen.
32:36After Chiron fell that day, the god-king stayed behind closed doors for three days and ultimately
32:42let the matter go.
32:44He left the position of water god vacant, and since then, no god has ruled over the ice and
32:51cold waters.
32:52Sometimes, I stand on the same cloud terrace where the marriage selection once took place,
32:58staring blankly toward the elf realm.
33:01Leon always comes up from behind and gently pulls me into his arms.
33:05Thinking about Leah.
33:07I nod.
33:09After Leah was sent back to the elf realm, she never stepped foot outside again.
33:14The elves were wary of her because she had given birth to a dark creature, but they also
33:20pitied her for the loss of her child, so they never disturbed her.
33:23I once sent my maids with divine herbs and spirit stones, but they were all returned untouched,
33:30with only one message.
33:32We each have our own fate.
33:34Let us never meet again.
33:36Phoenix dove into my arms, his tiny claws brushing against my clothes, asking in his cute
33:42baby voice,
33:45Mommy, why did that bad god try to hurt you and Daddy?
33:49I gently stroked his soft, feathered crest and whispered,
33:53Because he let greed blind him.
33:56He forgot who he was and lost his soul.
34:00Leon chuckled, tapping Phoenix right between the eyes, sending a wisp of holy fire energy
34:05into him.
34:06Remember this.
34:08A ruler isn't chosen because of a lucky beast, but because of a heart that wants to protect.
34:14The little phoenix nodded, not quite understanding, and flew out of the palace to play with the
34:19goddesses of the realm.
34:20Watching his happy little figure, I suddenly thought of the spirit child from my past life,
34:26the one whose soul core was crushed, and my heart still felt a sharp, lingering sting.
34:32Leon seemed to sense what I was thinking and squeezed my hand.
34:36It's all in the past now.
34:39I'll spend every lifetime making up for the pain of our previous one.
