00:00It's a legitimate name.
00:01Once we divorce, I'll marry you.
00:04Everyone thought I'd willingly wait one more month.
00:06After all, I've already waited for him for seven years.
00:09But that night, I accepted an arranged marriage and left the Royal City.
00:15Three years later, I returned to the Royal City with my husband.
00:18My husband had something urgent come up,
00:20so he ordered his subordinates from the Royal City to come pick me up.
00:23At the border station, I stepped off the dragon.
00:26I froze in my tracks.
00:27The man there to meet me was my ex-fiancé, Cedric.
00:30Isn't that Alara, the girl who chased Cedric for seven years?
00:35I told you she'd come crawling back.
00:37Still trying to impress Cedric?
00:39Look at what you're wearing!
00:42Before, when I saw Cedric, I always wore the perfect makeup.
00:45I chose my most flattering clothes.
00:47I showed him my very best self.
00:49But now, there's no need.
00:51Because I'm pregnant, my husband doesn't let me wear makeup
00:53and demands that I be as comfortable as possible.
00:55This plain robe I'm wearing was custom-made for me by his orders.
00:59But listening to them, I realized they knew my Royal name,
01:02but they didn't know I was the one they were supposed to be greeting.
01:06Alara, it's good to have you back.
01:08Actually, Cedric has been looking for you all these years.
01:11Rosa's child is starting at the Magic Academy soon.
01:14And you'll be the one in charge of taking care of him.
01:16Cedric was still as arrogant and self-righteous as ever.
01:19But I was no longer that young girl who would put up with him.
01:22Just as I was about to reveal my identity, Rosa spoke up first.
01:25Don't blame Cedric.
01:27Cedric, who knows what you did these past three years.
01:30You should be grateful he's offering you a maid's job.
01:33Cedric thought I was jealous again.
01:35Enough.
01:35You're already struggling to survive, so stop acting so entitled.
01:39Just look after the child properly, stop making a scene, and know your place.
01:46Don't worry, my mansion has plenty of room for a maid.
01:48Look, Cedric is so good to you.
01:51He planned everything so you won't suffer.
01:53Just help Rosa with the kids.
01:55It's better than your pathetic life.
01:57Don't worry, Alara.
01:59If my son is naughty and disobedient, I'll discipline him for you so you don't feel wronged.
02:04Why would she feel wronged?
02:06She was the one who disappeared over such a trivial matter.
02:09Now that she's back because she couldn't make it out there,
02:12only right that she suffers a little.
02:14Hearing that, my heart skipped a beat.
02:16Even now, he thinks abandoning me for Rosa was still just a trivial matter.
02:21But that's okay.
02:23It's all in the past, and it's not worth mentioning.
02:25After all, I'm about to give birth to my second royal heir.
02:30Aren't you here to pick me up?
02:31Let's go.
02:35Pick you up?
02:36We're waiting for Her Highness Lena.
02:38Do you have any idea who she is?
02:40She is Crown Prince Arya's primary consort, the future queen,
02:43and the most noble woman in the entire kingdom.
02:45The Crown Prince is cold and ruthless, but he is deeply in love with her.
02:50They say he stayed single for years.
02:52He was just waiting for Lena.
02:55Hearing all their chatter and gossip, a happy smile touched my lips.
02:58Married for three years now, Kaelin's power keeps growing.
03:02His reputation for spoiling his wife is becoming even more famous.
03:05To win her heart, the prince bought the Star Vow Eternal Bracelet at the Magic Treasury.
03:11It's forged from ancient gems and is priceless.
03:18That's the one!
03:22A decent replica.
03:24I don't know what lowlife gave you this fake, pathetic track.
03:28It's definitely more detailed than the fakes I buy,
03:31but I'd never wear something so embarrassing in public.
03:35Don't tell me you actually think you're the legendary princess.
03:41Allura, give me this bracelet.
03:43I'll pay you double.
03:44Give it back.
03:46Kaelin gave that to me.
03:47Shut up!
03:52Ella, how dare you say the Crown Prince's name?
03:54Lying about a connection to his heightness?
03:56Are you trying to get me killed?
03:57Ella, do you have any idea?
03:58Welcoming Princess Lena today was a chance we fought hard for.
04:01Cedric is the Crown Prince's administrator.
04:03Our future depends on winning the princess favor.
04:05Are you trying to ruin him?
04:06I wiped the blood from my mouth and slowly turned to face Cedric.
04:11Amara, you ungrateful brat!
04:14Cedric has already agreed to take you in!
04:16Don't be ungrateful!
04:17Even if you're holding a grudge against him,
04:19you shouldn't use this kind of pathetic lie to get revenge!
04:22Hearing this felt like being transported back three years.
04:25No matter what I did,
04:27Rosa would twist my intentions and explain them to Cedric.
04:30At first, Cedric would scold her,
04:32but later he began to follow her lead and scold me instead.
04:35Just like right now.
04:37You're such a jealous shrew!
04:39But this time,
04:40he didn't continue the barrage of insults as he used to.
04:43After a moment of silence,
04:45Cedric pulled out a bag of crystals and held it out to me.
04:47For the sake of our past,
04:48I won't lay a hand on you.
04:50Don't worry.
04:51Ever since I became the Crown Prince's administrator,
04:53this amount of money means nothing to me.
04:57No need.
04:58I don't take things from strangers.
05:01Stepping out of the relay station,
05:02I breathed in the fresh air
05:04and the wave of nausea finally subsided.
05:06Three years ago,
05:07my family arranged for me to marry the Crown Prince.
05:09I fought them on it.
05:11I don't care about the family.
05:12I love Cedric.
05:13I'll never marry him.
05:14I begged my boyfriend Cedric to marry me first,
05:17hoping to seal our future.
05:18He said yes.
05:19Yes.
05:19But instead of a wedding,
05:21I saw him at the church with Rosa.
05:25Rosa's child needs a name.
05:28I'll marry you after we divorce.
05:30Don't overthink it.
05:31Watching them walk into the church together,
05:33I was done.
05:35That night,
05:36I met the Crown Prince
05:36and left the Royal City.
05:38A month later,
05:39Prince Caelan and I held our wedding
05:40in a distant territory.
05:42A year later,
05:43little Prince Leo was born.
05:45Now,
05:45I'm pregnant again.
05:47I only returned to the Royal City
05:48because Caelan had to take over a fair's year.
05:51Otherwise,
05:52I never would have come back.
05:54Three days later,
05:55I attended the welcoming banquet alone.
05:58I applied some light makeup
06:00and dressed in a low-key,
06:01simple gown.
06:02At the sight of me,
06:03Cedric's eyes lit up,
06:05a smug smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
06:07So you come after all.
06:09If you want me back,
06:11try harder.
06:14Alara,
06:15I'm talking to you.
06:16Do you hear me?
06:17Our seats are over here.
06:19Where do you think you're going?
06:21That's are your seats.
06:24Mine is over there.
06:26Alara,
06:27how did you sneak in?
06:28Are you here to cause trouble?
06:30And
06:32how dare you wear that bracelet?
06:36Isn't that the star vow eternal
06:37the Prince made for the Princess?
06:39The Prince is making his first public appearance
06:41with her today.
06:42Are you trying to humiliate her?
06:44Trespassing at a royal banquet?
06:46Are you trying to get us all killed?
06:48Lord Thorne,
06:49is this woman with you?
06:51No,
06:52I don't know her.
06:53Take off the bracelet and get out.
06:55Are you sure you want me to leave?
06:57Rosa knew everyone was watching
06:59and the loss of face stung.
07:01Stop the act
07:02and take it off.
07:04She lunged
07:05to rip the bracelet off my wrist.
07:06I pushed her hand away
07:08and stepped back
07:09but someone tripped me.
07:14Treating this trash like a treasure.
07:17My arm throbbed from being stomped on
07:19and my wrist was a bloody mess.
07:21Yet,
07:22I could only stare blankly
07:23at the broken bracelet
07:24and the gemstones scattered across the floor.
07:27Pick her up
07:27and throw her out.
07:29A crowd quickly gathered around us.
07:32Stop!
07:33I am Kaelin's!
07:36Before I could finish,
07:37Rosa struck me across the face.
07:38Are you going to spread rumors
07:40about being the crown prince's lover again?
07:41You?
07:42Worthy?
07:44Rosa backhanded me again.
07:45When I returned this time,
07:47I hadn't planned on settling scores with her
07:49because it wasn't worth it.
07:50But now,
07:51I will definitely make her pay the price.
07:54Cedric knelt down in front of me.
07:56Alara,
07:56have you had enough?
07:57Beg me
07:58and I might just forgive you.
08:00Isn't this just a pathetic attempt
08:02to make me jealous?
08:05Cedric,
08:06you are absolutely screwed.
08:09Suddenly,
08:10the room fell into a dead silence.
08:13The crown prince is here.
08:14Keep your mouth shut.
08:18Don't worry,
08:18I've already divorced Rosa.
08:21Whether you divorce or not
08:22has nothing to do with me.
08:24Just then,
08:25Kaelin entered,
08:26holding our son
08:26surrounded by attendants.
08:28In the middle of the hall,
08:29our boy squirmed to be put down.
08:31The little prince,
08:32cute as a button,
08:33stood on the floor
08:34instantly stealing everyone's gaze.
08:36His nanny followed closely,
08:38terrified he might trip.
08:39Alara,
08:40if you stop harassing Rosa,
08:42I can forgive you
08:43for disappearing for three years.
08:45I'll even give you a chance
08:46to have a child of our own.
08:47I didn't answer.
08:49I just wanted to catch
08:50Kaelin's or my son's attention.
08:53Finally,
08:54following the toddler's lead,
08:55Kaelin walked right up to me.
08:57The moment my expressionless boy saw me,
09:00his face filled with panic.
09:01He sprinted into my arms.
09:04Mommy,
09:05what happened?
09:06Who hurt you?
09:09Why is there so much blood on your hand?
09:12The eyes of everyone in the hall
09:14shifted from my son to me.
09:15The guests who had just watched me
09:17get bullied with cold indifference
09:18now stared in utter disbelief.
09:20My son's embrace was as warm as ever.
09:23The frustration from moments ago vanished.
09:25I knelt down to look him in the eye,
09:27gently pinching his chubby cheek
09:29with a loving smile.
09:30I'm okay.
09:31Mommy's fine.
09:34Mommy,
09:35who would dare to do this to you?
09:37Kids will be kids.
09:38Seeing an adult hurt
09:39makes them teary-eyed.
09:40My heart ached seeing him like this.
09:42Just as I prepared to comfort him,
09:44Kaelin walked toward us.
09:45It was just a casual approach,
09:47yet the sheer pressure radiating from him
09:49felt like the very air around him
09:51was being crushed.
09:51The crowd automatically parted
09:53to make way for him.
09:54Even without looking back,
09:56the chilling aura behind me
09:57made my skin crawl.
09:58Kaelin was definitely furious.
10:01Since my second pregnancy,
10:03Kaelin had become
10:03even more overprotective.
10:05If not for urgent business
10:06in the royal city,
10:07he would never have sent
10:08the boy who was turning me up.
10:10If I'd known I'd run into Cedric,
10:12I never would have come alone.
10:13Sensing the man's gaze behind me,
10:15I picked up my son
10:16and turned around.
10:17Against his white formal suit,
10:18the wound on my wrist
10:19looked even more shocking.
10:24Daddy,
10:25someone bullied Mommy.
10:27Kaelin stepped forward,
10:28gently taking my wrist
10:29to examine it,
10:30his expression darkening.
10:32What happened to you?
10:33Which blind fool
10:34dared to lay a hand on you?
10:36My heart warmed.
10:38Kaelin is incredibly protective.
10:40He gets anxious
10:40over even the slightest scratch on me,
10:42but I love it.
10:43I love how much he cares.
10:45The banquet hall was dimly lit,
10:47but the gems on the floor
10:48shimmered under the faint light.
10:50My son felt something sharp
10:51under his feet.
10:52He bent down to pick up
10:53a gem from the floor.
10:54It was the largest sapphire
10:55from my bracelet.
10:56He held it high.
10:58Daddy,
10:59isn't this the gift
10:59you gave Mommy?
11:01Kaelin took the gem,
11:02turned it over,
11:03and saw the engraving,
11:05Lena.
11:05His eyes darkened instantly.
11:07He was so furious
11:09that the armrest he gripped
11:10deformed under his hand.
11:11The light where I stood
11:12was dim,
11:13and Kaelin couldn't see clearly,
11:15growing even more agitated.
11:16He helped me to a chair
11:17and commanded
11:18in a low, cold voice,
11:21Turn on all the lights!
11:23When our eyes met,
11:25Kaelin's pupils constricted.
11:26He cupped my face
11:27in his hands, trembling.
11:28What happened to your face?
11:30They actually dared
11:32to do this to you.
11:33I'm fine, Kaelin.
11:35Patting his hands soothingly,
11:37Alara, I am your husband.
11:38I don't believe
11:39in letting you swallow
11:40your grisches.
11:41Our son hurried
11:42to chime in.
11:43We can't let Mommy be bullied!
11:45It wasn't a huge deal.
11:46I could have handled it myself.
11:48But perhaps because I'm pregnant,
11:50my voice suddenly turned tearful.
11:51All the bottled up frustration
11:53erupted at once.
11:54You weren't here.
11:55They all bullied me.
11:57The people who mocked me
11:59at the station
11:59were shaking uncontrollably.
12:01They never imagined
12:02that the Alara
12:03they had humiliated
12:04was actually
12:05Her Highness Princess Lena.
12:06Even though I was wearing
12:07the bracelet,
12:08even though I had told them
12:09who I was,
12:10they hadn't listened.
12:11Suddenly, Mara,
12:13Rose's maid,
12:14stepped forward.
12:15Alara,
12:16where did you hire
12:17these two actors?
12:18Your two broke
12:18to even afford
12:19a decent dress,
12:20so stop making a scene.
12:22Mara had arrived late
12:23and missed seeing
12:24Rosa groveling to my son.
12:25She had no idea
12:26what Kaelin or
12:26the Little Prince
12:27looked like.
12:28She just thought
12:28that bullying me
12:29would please Rosa.
12:30She let out
12:31a loud, mocking laugh.
12:32Usually people would join in,
12:33but the crowd just stared
12:34at her like she was a lunatic.
12:36Mara began to feel
12:37a chill of unease.
12:39Hey, you,
12:40the guy over there.
12:41You're actually
12:42pretty handsome.
12:43Dump, Alara,
12:44and maybe I'll keep you.
12:46Keeping Kaelin?
12:47I didn't know
12:48whether to call her
12:49courageous or just
12:50blindingly stupid.
12:51Anyone with eyes
12:52could see that Kaelin
12:53was no ordinary man.
12:55Where else would a
12:56commoner get such an aura?
12:57Kaelin actually laughed
12:59at Mara's audacity.
13:00Over the years,
13:01to give me total
13:02peace of mind,
13:03he'd dealt with
13:04any woman trying
13:05to flirt with him.
13:06Either they vanished
13:07without a trace
13:07or were sent off
13:08to be wives
13:09to the lowest slaves.
13:10Seeing the atmosphere
13:11turn icy,
13:12Mara rushed toward Rosa,
13:13but Rosa wasn't
13:14about to be dragged
13:15down with her.
13:16As soon as Mara got close,
13:17Rosa slapped her hard,
13:18knocking her straight
13:19to the floor.
13:20Mara!
13:21How dare you offend
13:22the crown prince
13:22and princess Lena?
13:24Do you want to die?
13:25Mara sat on the floor,
13:26dazed,
13:27clutching her face.
13:28Rosa's words played
13:29on a loop in her head.
13:30She started mumbling
13:31to herself,
13:32Mara is the princess.
13:34I offended the prince.
13:36Mara knew Kaelin
13:37was a legendary
13:37wife protector.
13:38The thought of her own fate
13:40made her shake uncontrollably.
13:41Oh my god,
13:42look at her dress!
13:44Someone in the crowd
13:45gasped
13:45and everyone's eyes
13:46dropped to Mara's legs.
13:48She had been so terrified
13:49she had wet herself.
13:51Kaelin frowned slightly.
13:53The guards immediately understood
13:54and dragged Mara away.
13:56Rosa and Cedric's faces
13:57turned bright red.
13:58Even though it was only Mara
14:00who was dragged out,
14:00everyone in the royal city
14:02knew that she only spoke
14:03what they wanted to hear.
14:04The guests stared at them
14:06with utter contempt
14:07as if they were nothing
14:08more than clowns.
14:09A physician sent by Kaelin
14:11was carefully applying
14:12ointment to my skin.
14:13Ouch!
14:14At that single sound,
14:15Kaelin and our son
14:16shot daggers at the doctor
14:17as if they were ready to kill.
14:19Can't you even apply
14:21medicine properly?
14:22The doctor was shaking so hard
14:23he could barely hold his tools.
14:25I let out a helpless sigh.
14:28All right, the doctor
14:29is trying to help.
14:30Stop.
14:30With my intervention,
14:32the doctor finally seemed
14:33to relax a little.
14:34After the checkup,
14:35the physician turned to Kaelin
14:37and spoke slowly.
14:38Your Highness,
14:38the princess and the baby
14:40are both doing fine.
14:41There is no serious harm.
14:43The injuries on her hands
14:44are quite deep though.
14:45I will use the best medicine
14:47available to ensure
14:48no scars are left.
14:49Kaelin remained silent.
14:50Only I knew that this was the calm
14:52before his storm of fury.
14:54Cedric, the root cause of all this,
14:56felt a surge of nerves.
14:57Seeing how intimate Kaelin and I were
14:59and nameless fire burned within him.
15:02His possessiveness,
15:03usually buried,
15:04had reached its peak.
15:05But for the sake of his
15:06and his family's future,
15:08he had to hold back.
15:09Kaelin stood by my side,
15:11staring down at the guest
15:12with the absolute authority
15:14of a ruler.
15:15I want someone to voluntarily
15:16tell me what happened here today.
15:19Investigate it myself.
15:20Some of you here
15:21might not like the way you die.
15:23It was a blatant,
15:24cold-blooded threat.
15:25Your Highness,
15:27it's all a Mr. Standing.
15:28As Elora's former fiancé,
15:30I was just catching up with her.
15:32I never expected an accident.
15:33Cedric still believed
15:34that I loved him
15:35just as I did in the past.
15:37He completely failed
15:38to notice the look
15:39on Kaelin's face.
15:40I heard the clear sound
15:41of the glass cup
15:42in Kaelin's hand cracking.
15:43Your Highness must know
15:44how much Elora
15:45loved me back then.
15:46And I saw his palm
15:47covered in blood.
15:48I was filled with regret.
15:50Cedric,
15:51if you keep trying
15:52to stir up trouble
15:52between Kaelin and me,
16:23don't blame me
16:23for being ruthless.
16:23I am the one you love most.
16:25His anger flaring up,
16:26but my son wouldn't
16:27let him get away with it.
16:28A nanny?
16:29My mother is the crown princess.
16:31Do you even know
16:32who you're talking to?
16:33Mommy only has two children,
16:35me and my little sister.
16:37Do you really think
16:38your child is worthy of her?
16:39Rose had completely
16:40lost her mind by now.
16:41She had initially thought
16:42Cedric just wanted me
16:43as a nanny,
16:44but hearing him suggest
16:45I should replace her
16:46as a mother of his child
16:47broke her.
16:48Jealousy consumed
16:48her remaining sanity.
16:50You little brat!
16:52I'll kill you!
16:53Leo!
16:54The moment Rosa
16:55lunged at my son,
16:56I broke away from Kaelin
16:57and dove to shield him
16:58with my own body.
16:59As my vision faded,
17:00the last thing I saw
17:01was my son's face,
17:02pale with terror.
17:03I wanted to tell him
17:05not to cry,
17:06but before I could
17:07get the words out,
17:07I lost consciousness.
17:09I woke up
17:10in the royal medical room.
17:11My best friend Isolde
17:12hugged me the second
17:13she saw me wake up.
17:16Hilara,
17:17you're finally awake!
17:18You're finally up!
17:20If you hadn't woken up,
17:22your husband and son
17:22would have turned
17:23the city upside down!
17:24Her story sounded
17:25a bit over the top.
17:27I reached for my belly,
17:28giving her a worried look.
17:29Don't worry,
17:30you and the baby
17:31are both fine.
17:32The doctor said
17:33you just fainted
17:34from shock
17:34and the pain
17:35of your injury.
17:37That woman,
17:38Rosa,
17:38is pure evil,
17:39trying to hurt
17:40a kid like that.
17:42Are Kaelin
17:43and my son okay?
17:45Relax,
17:46they're both fine.
17:47You were too impulsive.
17:49With all those guards around,
17:50Leo was never
17:51going to get hurt.
17:52You didn't have
17:52to jump in.
17:55But that's Leo.
17:57He's way smarter
17:58than you think.
17:59He didn't need
18:00your protection.
18:02So where are they?
18:05Isolde's eyes
18:05lit up immediately.
18:07They're busy
18:08getting revenge
18:08for you, of course.
18:10When I got there,
18:11you were already out.
18:13Little Prince Leo
18:14went dead pale
18:15when he saw you faint.
18:16He grabbed a dinner fork
18:17and stabbed it hard
18:18into Rosa's hand.
18:19Kaelin found out
18:20everything.
18:21That Cedric slapped you
18:22three days ago,
18:23that he broke
18:23the gift he bought you,
18:24and all the ways
18:25Rosa and her group
18:26humiliated you.
18:27He had his guards
18:28hold Cedric down
18:30and cut off the hand
18:31he used to hit you.
18:32Because Rosa tried
18:33to steal your bracelet,
18:35Kaelin had a whole
18:36crate of jewels brought in
18:37and made her
18:38swallow them off.
18:40When she wouldn't,
18:41he brought her son in
18:42and she ended up
18:42swallowing a ton
18:43of those diamonds.
18:44Then,
18:45Kaelin had her face
18:45carved up,
18:46cut the tendons
18:47in her son's hands
18:47right in front of her
18:49and tossed her
18:49into the endless
18:50sea of demons.
18:51Everyone else at the party
18:53who just watched
18:53and did nothing
18:54got punished too.
18:55Kaelin gave them
18:56all deep,
18:57ugly scars
18:57on their wrists
18:58just for being
18:59bystanders.
19:00Cedric's family
19:01was completely stripped
19:02of their titles
19:02and lands.
19:03And,
19:04and they're bankrupt.
19:06Every noble
19:07who backed him
19:07is ruined.
19:08Right now,
19:09Kaelin and Leo
19:10are out hunting
19:10Sedge Down.
19:11He was supposed
19:12to be sent
19:13to the endless
19:13sea of demons too,
19:15but he and Rosa
19:16must have made
19:17some kind of deal.
19:18She fought off
19:19the guards
19:19like a madwoman
19:20to buy him
19:21time to escape.
19:22The night
19:23before my wedding,
19:24my husband slept
19:25with Hyena.
19:26I was alone
19:27in our new den
19:28doing the final touches.
19:29I pawed open
19:30the deepest layer
19:31of bedding
19:31and I found them.
19:33Dried stains,
19:34coarse hairs,
19:35gray with black spots.
19:37Hyena,
19:38Tira.
19:39I shifted
19:40to human form,
19:41standing barefoot
19:42on the bedding.
19:43I pinched the hairs
19:44between my fingers
19:45and brought them
19:46to my nose.
19:47Her scent,
19:49no mistake.
19:50I tossed the hairs
19:51away,
19:52shifted back
19:52to lioness.
20:00Ripples spread
20:01across the water's
20:02surface.
20:03I waited for
20:03Jego's face
20:04to appear,
20:04but the reflection
20:05wasn't his mane.
20:06It was another face.
20:08Round ears,
20:09green eyes,
20:10Tira.
20:10She shifted
20:11to human form,
20:12wearing an eye livery
20:12ring on a cord
20:13around her neck.
20:14That's a really
20:15comfortable nest,
20:16she said.
20:17I tested it for you.
20:18Where's Jego?
20:20I asked.
20:22Tira smiled.
20:24She stirred the water
20:25with her hand.
20:26Then Jego's voice
20:27drifted out.
20:28Tira,
20:29come lick my back.
20:31Tira looked at the water,
20:33looked at my face.
20:35The groom's not bad
20:36either,
20:37she said.
20:37Tested him for you too.
20:40The water went dark.
20:42I collapsed on the boulder.
20:44Moonlight on my fur.
20:46I don't know how long
20:47I lay there.
20:48Eventually,
20:49I went back to the den,
20:51dragged out all
20:52the carefully laid grass,
20:54acacia fluff,
20:56lavender,
20:57and shoved it all
20:58off the rocks
20:59into the ravine below.
21:00I clawed deep gouges
21:02into the boulder.
21:04Then I bit through
21:05the knot of the wedding charm
21:06hanging at the entrance.
21:08I sent word to all
21:09our families and friends.
21:11Wedding cancelled.
21:13Then I turned off
21:13the water link
21:14and went back
21:16to my own den.
21:17I drank fermented
21:19monkey bread fruit wine
21:20and slept till morning.
21:23I woke to thunderous
21:25roaring outside my cave.
21:27Jago stood at the entrance
21:28with his brothers.
21:30They were all
21:31in lion form.
21:33Manes braided,
21:35coated with resin,
21:36gleaming in the morning light.
21:38Jango wore the brightest
21:39red parrot feathers
21:40around his neck,
21:41the groom's mark.
21:43The prey he was carrying
21:44had been crushed
21:45into pulp,
21:46blood dripping everywhere.
21:47He shifted to human.
21:50His hair a mess.
21:52He's clearly just woken up.
21:54And his eyes went red.
21:57Korra!
21:58Have you lost
21:59your damn mind?
22:01The twisted look
22:02on his face
22:03was so ridiculous.
22:04That laugh couldn't help
22:05but laugh.
22:06That laugh pushed him
22:08over the edge.
22:09He slammed the pulped carcass
22:11onto the ground
22:11and roared at me.
22:13Do you know
22:13what today is?
22:15I sat up on my grass bed.
22:17The old animal held
22:19slipped down to my waist.
22:21I ran my fingers
22:22through my hair
22:23and said,
22:24voice raspy,
22:26I told you,
22:27wedding's off.
22:28We're done.
22:30Jango's eyes
22:31were bloodshot.
22:32He squeezed them shut,
22:33grinding his teeth.
22:36Come with me right now.
22:38I'll pretend
22:39nothing happened.
22:43I forgive you.
22:45I glanced
22:46at his brothers
22:47behind him.
22:48They all had that look,
22:49enjoying the show.
22:52I stood up,
22:54tied the old hide
22:55tighter around my waist
22:57and said coldly,
23:00Jango,
23:01you're the one
23:02who messed up.
23:03You really want
23:04to do this here,
23:05in front of everyone?
23:07Talk about you
23:08and the hyena queen?
23:09Get lost.
23:11We're done.
23:14Jango froze.
23:16His face went through
23:17about five different expressions.
23:19That arrogant fire
23:20got doused real quick.
