00:00Only a week left until your awakening day. Have you chosen your bondmate?
00:05My mother handed me five portraits of the realm's elite dragon knights.
00:09I stood atop the royal spire, my nails digging bloody half-moons into my palms.
00:14I have, I said flatly.
00:16I knew it! You will pick Kaylin. You've followed the golden dragon heir since childhood.
00:23Mother smiled, warm and certain.
00:25No, I will not choose him. Her smile vanished in an instant.
00:30Then Tristan, Julian, Cassius?
00:33I choose none of them.
00:35That leaves only Damien.
00:38The black dragon lord vanished to the frost spine north.
00:42You have hated each other since you were children.
00:45I met her gaze, calm and unyielding.
00:47Yes, I choose Damien. I will bond with him.
00:50In my past life, I had chosen Kaylin. My heart filled with joy.
00:55But he faked his own death the night before our bond ritual.
00:58Abandoning me for a common peasant girl, I hunted for him like a madwoman for three long years.
01:03When I found him, he was kissing her, holding her like she was his whole world.
01:07I broke down, screaming for answers. He looked at me with cold, unfeeling eyes.
01:11So you found our secret, Seraphina?
01:13The next second, his sword pierced my heart.
01:16Then die.
01:20The three knights who swore eternal love had covered for him every step of the way.
01:25Only the dead keep secrets.
01:27Only Damien, my sworn enemy, avenged me.
01:30Only Damien buried my body.
01:32He knelt at my grave and wept, guarding it until his last breath.
01:36I will announce my choice at the awakening feast.
01:39I said to my mother,
01:40You must go to the Frost Spine Dragon Roost tomorrow personally.
01:44He will not believe it otherwise.
01:45Mother sighed and agreed.
01:47I turned and descended the spire.
01:51In the courtyard garden, soft sobs drifted from behind the laurel trees.
01:56Kaylin!
01:56Elara's voice trembled.
01:58Seraphina will choose you on her awakening day.
02:01I am just a peasant funded by the church.
02:03We should break up.
02:04Four towering men surrounded her, fawning over her like she was a goddess.
02:09Kaylin's face darkened, gripping her wrist hard.
02:12He spoke through gritted teeth.
02:14You go nowhere without my permission.
02:16I love only you.
02:18No matter whom Seraphina chooses.
02:21I will fake my death before the ritual.
02:24I will take you far away.
02:27Tristan handed her a silk handkerchief, his voice soft and gentle.
02:31Do not fear.
02:32We will distract Seraphina.
02:34She will never find you.
02:36Julian chuckled.
02:37Live in peace with Kaylin.
02:38We will handle everything.
02:40Cassius stroked her hair, indulgent and warm.
02:43We are here for you.
02:45Always.
02:46Elara bit her lip, tears streaming down her face.
02:51But Seraphina will be heartbroken when she finds out.
02:54The four men laughed, cold and heartless.
02:57We only care about you.
02:59Seraphina can die for all we care.
03:01I stood hidden behind the tree, my blood turning to ice.
03:04This was exactly how it had happened in my past life.
03:07This time, I wanted nothing to do with any of them.
03:10I stepped forward, my boots clicking on the stone path.
03:13Elara spotted me, malice flashing in her eyes before she feigned innocence.
03:17Lady Seraphina, what are you doing here?
03:21I knew her game playing the victim to gain sympathy.
03:24She grabbed my arm forcefully, her grip tight and vicious.
03:27May I serve you in any way?
03:29I would do anything for you.
03:32Get off me.
03:33I shoved her away hard.
03:34Elara let out a shrill, fake scream.
03:37She clutched my robes and threw herself backward.
03:39We both tumbled into the endless water elemental pool.
03:42Frigid water closed over my head in an instant, but I could not swim.
03:46I thrashed and screamed, drowning in the clear, cold depths.
03:50All four men dove into the water at once, but not one swam toward me.
03:55They raced to Elara, who knew exactly how to swim.
03:57As consciousness faded, I watched Kaelin lift her into his arms.
04:01The man with a deadly phobia of filth, who even washed his hands after touching me,
04:06tilted her chin and kissed her deeply.
04:07He breathed life into her lungs.
04:10He saved his beloved.
04:11I dragged myself ashore with every last ounce of strength.
04:14I could not die.
04:15I had to bond with Damien.
04:16Kaelin pulled away from the long kiss as Elara's eyes fluttered open.
04:22He lifted her into his arms and strode away without a glance back.
04:25I will take you to the healing temple.
04:27He did not spare a single look at me, who was soaking and trembling.
04:31The other three knights finally noticed me.
04:34Tristan rushed forward, fake concern painted on his face.
04:37Are you hurt?
04:38We mistook Elara for you in the murky water.
04:41Julian hurried to lie.
04:42I stared at them.
04:43The pool was crystal clear.
04:44Elara wore white linen, and I wore crimson royal robes.
04:48They could never have mistaken us.
04:50Leave me alone.
04:51Get out of my sight.
04:52I turned and walked away.
04:54That evening, the royal palace held a high relic auction.
04:57I entered the hall to find Kaelin and Elara seated in the noble's box.
05:01When he saw me, Kaelin stepped forward, arrogant and cold.
05:05I know you love me, but I do not love you.
05:08Don't choose me as your bondmate.
05:11Tristan clapped my shoulder, smug and entitled.
05:14You will choose Kaelin, will you not?
05:16If he rejects you, we'll have your back.
05:19I looked at the three conceited men, my voice flat and final.
05:22Rest easy.
05:23I choose none of you.
05:25The auction began.
05:26The final relic was brought forth.
05:28It was my late master's legacy, the ancient mists of the Dragon Abyss scroll.
05:33Five million gold coins.
05:35I raised my paddle.
05:37Kaelin, the dragon shadows on the scroll are beautiful.
05:40Elara tugged his hand, her eyes greedy.
05:43Bids soared.
05:44Kaelin bought the scroll for 100 million gold coins without hesitation.
05:48I took a deep breath and walked toward Elara.
05:50Name your price for the scroll.
05:53She smiled, venom dripping from her tone.
05:56So the high and mighty lady begs?
05:59Gold means nothing.
06:01Kneel, and I will give it to you.
06:03I stared her down, rage burning in my veins.
06:07Elara laughed loudly and cruelly.
06:09She gripped the scroll, tearing it to shreds.
06:14How dare you!
06:15I slapped her across the face, hard enough to split her lip.
06:18Seraphina, what have you done?
06:21Kaelin's roar shook the hall.
06:24It is my fault, not hers.
06:26Elara sobbed, clutching her swollen cheek.
06:29She shoved Kaelin away, feigning despair.
06:32If everyone hates me, let me die!
06:35Elara sprinted toward the stained glass window and threw herself out.
06:39Kaelin lost his mind, lifting her broken, bleeding body in his arms.
06:43If Elorda dies, I will kill you.
06:45At the healing temple, the high priest rushed out, sweating with panic.
06:50My lord, her life force fades fast.
06:52She needs pure silver dragon primordial blood, but we have none left.
06:57Kaelin's eyes locked on me, cold and ruthless.
07:00You are a pure blood silver dragon.
07:04No.
07:04Elara whispered weakly from the bed.
07:06You are too kind.
07:08Kaelin squeezed her hand, his voice soft.
07:10He turned to me, no warmth left in his gaze.
07:13Chain her to the ritual altar.
07:14He ordered.
07:15You will not touch me.
07:18Oh, really?
07:19He sneered.
07:22With my parents gone to the frost spine, no one stood to protect me.
07:27Heavy knights pained me to the cold stone altar.
07:30Their grip, unbreakable.
07:31I fought with every fiber of my being.
07:34Kaelin!
07:35You will regret this!
07:37I screamed.
07:38You are the one who will regret it.
07:39He drove a hollow silver spike into my vein without mercy.
07:42Pure silver dragon blood flowed down the crystal channel into Elara's body.
07:47Agony ripped through me.
07:48My vision faded to black.
07:50When I woke, my arm was covered in a web of brutal puncture wounds.
07:54Trestan stirred at my bedside, fake sorrow in his eyes.
07:58You are awake.
08:00Kaelin went too far.
08:01I stared at him, ice in my voice.
08:03Leave.
08:05I want to be alone.
08:07The three men turned and left, rushing to tend to their precious Elara.
08:12I thought the bloodletting was the end.
08:13I was wrong.
08:14What came next was a chain of cold, calculated murder.
08:18On the first day, I dragged my drained body to flee the royal lands, but I was ambushed at
08:24the royal drake ranch.
08:26Hundreds of enraged armored drakes charged at me.
08:29Their claws shattered my leg bones.
08:31Pain blinded me.
08:33As I blacked out, I saw Tristan, Julian, and Cassius standing on the hillside, watching.
08:39I woke to the sound of their voices arguing outside my door.
08:44Kaelin's voice was cold and flat.
08:47You unleashed the drakes to cripple her?
08:49Cassia spoke casually, unremorseful.
08:51She hurt Elara.
08:53This is just a small lesson.
08:55Tanston's was wokeless and cruel.
08:58I am sick of pretending to love her.
09:01It makes me sick.
09:02I bit my lip until it bled.
09:05On the second night, Kaelin kicked down the door to my healing chamber and seized my throat.
09:12Elara came to see you, and you hired thugs to assault her?
09:17I did no such thing.
09:20You refuse to confess?
09:22Then I will return the favor.
09:24He clapped his hands.
09:25You will pay for harming her.
09:27Five filthy underworld thugs stepped into the room.
09:32Kaelin!
09:33Have you lost your mind?
09:36Kaelin walked out and locked the door behind him.
09:41The thugs lunged at me, grinning with malice.
09:44They pinned me down, tearing at my robes.
09:47My bones were broken.
09:48I could not cast magic.
09:49I would not let these monsters defile me.
09:52I bit through my tongue, burning the last of my magic to shove them away.
09:56Then, I threw myself out the second floor window.
09:59I crashed into the ground below as a torrential rain began to fall.
10:03I dragged my broken leg across the royal stone streets, crawling for my life.
10:08The next second, a blinding light cut through the storm.
10:11A heavy nightmare beast carriage slammed into me to stop my escape.
10:15I flew through the air like a broken rag doll.
10:18The carriage door opened.
10:20Julian's voice drifted down from above.
10:21Tristan, you are brutal.
10:23You ran her down with the beast?
10:24She would not stop running.
10:26I had no choice.
10:27Cassius's voice held cold regret.
10:29Pity she survived.
10:30If she died, we could guard a llama openly.
10:32Rain hammered my face.
10:34In my delirium, I saw him.
10:36Damien.
10:39Tears mixed with the rain as I whispered into the dark.
10:43I miss you so much.
10:44But it was only a hallucination.
10:46Nothing more.
10:47I hid in my private estate to heal until the eve of the awakening.
10:52Still, Kaylin and Alara forced their way into my home.
10:56We are here for Alerba's things.
10:58She will not stay here.
11:00Not where you can hurt her.
11:03My healing badge is gone.
11:05Why would you steal this from me, my lady?
11:08Alara stared at me, fainting tears.
11:10I did not take it.
11:11I spoke without emotion.
11:13Killeen waved a hand, cold and furious.
11:16Search the estate.
11:17Tear it apart until you find the badge.
11:19Dozens of royal guards stormed in.
11:21They smashed every antique, every piece of furniture, reducing my home to rubble.
11:30Found it!
11:31A guard ran down with the badge.
11:33Kaylin led Alara away, satisfied and cruel.
11:36I went to the elven tailor's shop and chose the crimson royal robes of my pure-blood liages.
11:42As I left, a brutal blow struck my head and darkness swallowed me.
11:47I woke, hanging from the spire's outer wall, bound by magic ropes, clad only in thin undergarments.
11:54Kaylin gripped my chin hard, his voice icy.
11:58Remember this lesson.
12:00Never dare to take what belongs to Alara again.
12:03At dawn, Tristan, Julian, and Cassius freed me, their faces full of fake concern.
12:09Seraphina, we just found you.
12:11We are so sorry.
12:13I stared at their lying faces, rage exploding from my chest.
12:18Get away from me!
12:20Every wound on my body was given to me by you monsters!
12:24I shoved them aside and walked away.
12:26The awakening feast began.
12:28The grand hall blazed with gold and light.
12:33I entered in my tailored crimson royal robes, regal and unbroken.
12:42Minutes later, Kaylin walked in with Alara on his arm.
12:46She wore an exact copy of my crimson robes, sewn overnight by Kaylin's order.
12:52Every noble in the hall watched, whispering and laughing at my humiliation.
12:57Kaylin stepped toward me, his voice like shards of ice.
13:01Change your robes at once, or I will strip them from you with magic.
13:04I clenched the fabric of my dress.
13:06Kaylin summoned guards, dragging me to the changing rooms by force.
13:14Ten minutes later, I returned in a rough white linen maid's dress.
13:20Kaylin smiled, pleased with his cruelty.
13:23The bonding ritual began.
13:24The high priest smiled.
13:27Lady Valerius, who do you choose as your eternal bond maid?
13:31Silence fell over the hall.
13:33Kaylin lifted his chin, arrogant and certain of his victory.
13:37I took a deep breath, my voice ringing clear through the hall.
13:40Just one more moment.
13:41The next second, the massive black iron doors of the hall were slammed open with brutal force.
13:48A freezing gale swept in, carrying the crushing aura of a dragon lord.
13:53My parents stepped inside.
13:55Behind them stood a tall, imposing man.
13:58He wore pure black battle armor, carved with ferocious black dragon runes on his shoulders.
14:04His gaze was a blade, his presence exuding the suffocating power of the abyss.
14:09Kaylin's face drained of all color.
14:11Tristan, Julian, and Cassius stiffened, their eyes wide with terror.
14:16He had returned.
14:17Damien had returned.
14:19Tears burned my eyes and spilled down my cheeks.
14:22I walked past Kaylin without a single glance, striding straight to the black armored warlord.
14:27I stopped before him and looked up.
14:29My voice broke, but it was unshakable and firm.
14:33I choose him, Damien Obsidian.
14:36Dead silence filled the grand hall.
14:39Damien stared at me, shock flashing in his eyes, then blazing into unbridled devotion.
14:45He ignored every stunned noble and knelt on one knee before me.
14:49Then, he pressed a reverent kiss to the back of my hand.
14:53Pure abyss magic erupted, weaving with the last of my silver dragon essence.
14:58A blood bond rune blazed to life beneath our feet.
15:03Light shooting to the ceiling.
15:05The entire hall shook.
15:07We were bound.
15:10Seraphina, you are mad!
15:11Kaylin screamed, rushing forward to break the ritual.
15:14Damien did not even look up.
15:16A wave of black dragon crashed down like a tidal wave.
15:19Kaylin's knees slammed into the marble floor, shattering the stone dome beneath him.
15:23Coughed up a mouthful of blood, pinned to the ground helpless.
15:26The bond light faded.
15:27Damien stood and pulled me into his arms.
15:29Suddenly, he tensed up.
15:30He sensed the damage at once.
15:32Damien's voice was deadly cold.
15:33Where is your primordial blood?
15:34Why are your leg bones broken and mended wrong?
15:37He pushed past my rejests and tore the sleeve from my right arm.
15:40The dense, horrific puncture wounds were laid back for all to see.
15:43A collective gas rippled through the hall.
15:45It was undeniable proof of bloodletting.
15:47Of being drained like livestock.
15:48Damien's eyes turned crimson.
15:50Killing rage consumed the entire hall.
15:52Who did this to you?
15:53His roar shook the walls.
15:55Abyss, fire burning around him.
15:57He stared at Kaylin on the floor and the trembling high priest.
16:02My parents rushed forward.
16:03Mother saw my wounds and shook with rage.
16:07Tears streaming down her face.
16:09Father drew his greatsword, pointing it straight at Kaylin.
16:12Golden dragon filth.
16:14You drained our heir's blood, you monster.
16:17His voice boomed through the hall.
16:19From this day, we declare war on the golden dragon clan.
16:23No mercy.
16:24No peace.
16:25Kaylin's eyes widened in pure terror.
16:27He finally understood what he had done.
16:29Tristan, Julian, and Cassius hid in the crowd, pale and shaking.
16:33Damien removed his black cloak, wrapping it tightly around me to shield me from view.
16:39He lifted me into his arms, gentle and unyielding.
16:42I will heal you.
16:43He turned his gaze to Kaylin and Dallara, his gaze murderous.
16:48Just you wait.
16:50I'll make you a million times more miserable than she ever has been.
16:54The iron doors slammed open again.
16:56Damien carried me into the endless night, away from the Hall of Traitors.
17:00Soon, we arrived at Frostspine.
17:02The wind was freezing, but Damien's arms burned with warmth.
17:05He laid me gently on a stone bed lined with soft furs.
17:09For days, he never left my side.
17:11The brutal black dragon warlord of legend sat with bloodshot eyes, tending to my every wound.
17:16He fed me aurora spring water like common water, the rarest healing elixir in the realm.
17:22He crushed the dragon marrow without hesitation, rubbing it into my broken bones and scarred veins.
17:27The agony of mending bones faded, replaced by a warm, healing power.
17:32On the third night, I burned with a high fever.
17:34Memories of my past life flooded my mind.
17:37The cold, rainy night, Kaylin's cruel smile, the sword through my heart.
17:41No!
17:42I thrashed in my sleep, sobbing in despair.
17:44Stop!
17:44I clawed at the furs, drenched in sweat.
17:46Why are you doing this to me?
17:48Kaylin, I hate you all!
17:51A strong hand pulled me into a broad, burning chest.
17:54Damien held me tight, his voice rough and broken.
17:57Don't be afraid, I am here.
17:59He kissed the tears from my cheeks.
18:01The next second, he drew a dagger and sliced open his palm.
18:03Black dragon blood fell onto my forehead.
18:07I swear by the abyss.
18:09Damien snarled, each word a vow of blood.
18:12I will erase them from existence.
18:14They will not even deserve the peace of death.
18:17Pure abyss magic flowed through our bloodbomb, flooding my body.
18:21A miracle unfolded.
18:22My dried, empty silver dragon blood boiled and regenerated.
18:26Fueled by his overwhelming power.
18:29Now my silver veins darkened with a faint abyss glow.
18:32It was an abyss ascension.
18:34My wounds healed before my eyes, erased without a trace.
18:38My magic, stagnant for years, shattered its limits.
18:41Light blazed around me as I rose to the rank of High Archmage.
18:45I snapped my eyes open.
18:46A dark golden dragon shadow flickered in the depths of my gaze.
18:50I sat up, feeling power roar like a storm inside me.
18:54No one would ever hurt me again.
18:56Damien brushed his thumb over my cheek, his gaze deep and fierce.
19:00How do you feel?
19:00I laced my fingers.
19:02Through his, turning my gaze over the royal capital, a cold, cruel smile curved my lips.
19:08I spoke slowly.
19:10Perfect.
19:11It is time to go back.
19:13It is time for them to pay.
19:15Meanwhile, at the healing temple, screams of agony echoed from the high healing chambers.
19:22Alara thrashed on the bed, her body breaking apart.
19:25Her skin cracked like dry bark, oozing black, corrupted blood.
19:31The stolen silver dragon blood rejected her mortal body, devouring her from the inside.
19:37Dragon blood was not meant for a greedy, worthless peasant.
19:41She shrieked, begging for mercy.
19:42Kaylin, help me!
19:44It hurts!
19:45The high priest rushed out, pale and desperate.
19:48My lord, the rejection is fatal.
19:50She needs 100,000 gold boinds of shilling elixir, and Mevridate and Eeklykaiches simyat to survive.
19:59Kaylin's eyes were bloodshot, grabbing the priest by the collar.
20:03Use the potions!
20:04Give her everything!
20:06The priest shook his head, hopeless.
20:09My lord, though your family's elders have frozen your treasury.
20:15Kaylin frozen, his world crumbling.
20:18He had spent 100 million gold coin to tear apart my master's scroll for her amusement.
20:24Worse, my family's declaration of war had the golden dragon elders strip him of his birthright.
20:30He was ruined.
20:32The once-proud heir could not even afford the weakest healing potion.
20:36To survive, Alara turned her greedy eyes to the three knights.
20:40Tristan slammed Julian against the wall, snarling with rage.
20:44It is your turn to feed her your life force!
20:48I have been drained for three days straight.
20:50I will lose my rank!
20:52Julian shoved him away, laughing coldly.
20:54Why me?
20:55Look at Kaylin.
20:57Cassius, she drained half his magic pool yesterday.
21:00He can barely stand.
21:02Cassius stumbled out, weak and venomous.
21:04She lied to us all.
21:06She is using us as magic cattle.
21:09Her kindness and softness are all fake!
21:13The three men who swore to protect her forever turned on each other.
21:17Broken by greed and survival.
21:19I will die before I let her touch me again!
21:22You started this!
21:24You wanted to protect her!
21:26They fought like wild animals, magic tearing apart the temple.
21:30Charms flew across the air, shattering the crystal statues.
21:34Proud noble knights tore each other apart to avoid being drained dry.
21:39Their affections for Allura disappeared without a trace.
21:42Inside the chamber, Allura listened to their screams, rivaling in agony.
21:48Her reckoning had only just begun.
21:50The royal inquisition's black guard surrounded the temple.
21:53The inquisitor slammed three memory crystals at Kaylin's feet.
21:56Look at what you have done!
21:57The first crystal lit up.
22:00The water element pool.
22:02The recording was crystal clear.
22:04Allura grabbed my robes and dragged me in.
22:06A cruel smile on her face.
22:08The second crystal.
22:09The Drake Ranch.
22:11Tristan's maid bribed the Beastmasters to unleash the Drakens on me.
22:15The third crystal.
22:16The underworld thug's confession.
22:18Allura hired us to frame Lady Serafina.
22:21It was all her fault!
22:23And Kaylin ordered us to defile her!
22:26The truth was laid bare.
22:29Kaylin stared at the crystals.
22:31Shaking violently, his world shattered.
22:34The fragile peasant he loved was a venomous liar.
22:37And he had paid men to destroy the woman who had loved him the most.
22:41Just then, a royal archidist stepped forward with an ancient scroll.
22:46My lord, when you were dying in the monster woods, it was not Allura who saved you.
22:51The archivist sighed.
22:52It was Lady Serafina.
22:54She nearly lost her rank to heal you.
22:57Allura stole the credit.
22:58Kaylin broke completely.
23:01No!
23:02It can't be!
23:05He tore at his hair, screaming in agony.
23:08He couldn't believe it.
23:09He had chained his savior to an altar and drained her blood for a liar.
23:13He had threatened to strip her naked and humiliate her in front of the realm.
23:16Regret bit through his heart like a venomous serpent.
23:19The pain almost tore him apart.
23:24Serafina!
23:25Serafina!
23:26I am so sorry!
23:28He fell to his knees, sobbing like a broken man.
23:32Tristan, Julian, and Cassius heard every word outside.
23:36They froze, their minds blank with horror.
23:39They remembered breaking my legs with the Drax.
23:42They remembered Marnie watching me crawl through the rain, broken and bleeding.
23:47They had crushed the purest soul in the realm into the mud.
23:50What have we done?
23:52What have we done?
23:55Tristan beat his own face until blood ran down his chin.
23:58The four proud men were reduced to broken dogs.
24:01They fled the capital that night, racing to the frostbite north to beg for mercy.
24:07When they arrived, a blizzard was roaring outside.
24:10The four men knelt before the black rag and ruse's iron gates, ragged and drained of magic.
24:17Ice pierced their knees, but they didn't move an itch, as if the cold meant nothing to them.
24:24Serafina!
24:25Please!
24:25We need to talk to you!
24:27We are sorry!
24:28We beg for forgiveness!
24:30Let us atone!
24:31They kept begging and apologizing, but their cries were swallowed by the blizzard.
24:35A single black dragon's roar shook the mountains in response.
24:39I stood on the dragon throne's balcony, arm linked with Damien's.
24:42I wore black and crimson battle robes, abyss magic swirling around me.
24:47The four men knelt in the snow, half dead from the cold.
24:50When they saw me, their empty eyes blazed with desperate hope.
24:54Serafina!
24:55You came!
24:56Tristan crawled forward, trying to grasp my robes.
24:59Forgive us!
25:00Let us be your slaves!
25:01Anything!
25:01As long as Cess you forgive!
25:03I kicked him away without hesitation.
25:06I stared down at them.
25:07No mercy.
25:08No emotion in my gaze.
25:10Forgiveness.
25:10You are not worthy.
25:12Move.
25:13You soil my boots.
25:14You cannot choose him!
25:16You are mine!
25:17I challenge him to a sacred duel!
25:19Caelan's eyes blazed with madness, staring at our linked hands.
25:23The winner claims you!
25:24He drew his broken sword, pointing it at Damien.
25:28Damien laughed, low and mocking.
25:30Claim her?
25:31She belongs to no one but herself.
25:33And you will be dead soon.
25:35Then, Damien opened a death duel arena.
25:37No magic was allowed, only raw strength.
25:41One punch.
25:42Damien shattered Caelan's prized golden dragon bones into dust.
25:46Caelan crashed to the ground, screaming in endless agony.
25:51The three knights tried to rush to his aid.
25:54My gaze turned cold, and abyss magic exploded from me.
25:58A dark golden dragon shadow tore through their magic cores, shattering them forever.
26:04Blood sprayed across the snow.
26:06They were broken, powerless, crippled, less than peasants.
26:11They had lost all their ranks.
26:12I pressed my boot to Caelan's face, crushing his last shred of pride.
26:17Do not die yet.
26:18The show has only just begun.
26:20The arrogant and powerful elite knights were ruined.
26:24Three days later, at the central square, flames roared high around the pyre.
26:29A stake stood at the center, and a filthy monster was bound to it.
26:33Heretic.
26:34Death by fire.
26:35The high priest pronounced judgment, cold and fino.
26:38It was Alara.
26:40The stolen blood had devoured her completely.
26:42Her body twisted into a grotetic half-dragon monster.
26:48She screamed until her throat gave out, burning to ash in the flames.
26:52Beneath the pyre knelt four crippled, broken men.
26:55Caelan, Tristan, Julian, and Cassius.
27:00They were stripped of titles, exiled to the lowest slums.
27:03The peasants and thugs they once abused now tormented them day and night.
27:07They lived in filth, beaten and starved.
27:12Every night, they saw my face.
27:14The face of the woman they destroyed.
27:17Regret cut them open, endless and unforgiving.
27:20They lived in agony, a fate worse than death.
27:24Soon, a year passed.
27:26Nobles from across the realm knelt before me, bowing their heads in submission.
27:29I took the family scepter, crowned the new matriarch.
27:32Damien walked toward me, clad in his black dragon armor.
27:35He placed a crown of black dragon scales upon my head.
27:37The exiled black dragon of the north, and the pure-bled silver dragon of the capital.
27:42We ruled the realm as twin monarchs, unchallenged and supreme.
27:45Damien laced his fingers through mine, pulling me close.
27:50The entire realm is at our feet, my queen.
27:52He whispered as he looked into my eyes.
27:55Standing and at the peak of the dragon abyss, I kissed him passionately.
27:58The blizzard faded.
28:00This life, I had finally chosen the right one.
28:02In the slums, Kalen lay in the mud, a broken, dying dog.
28:06His dragon bones were shattered beyond repair.
28:08Every movement sent bone shards tearing through his flesh.
28:11Moon trash.
28:13Kalen screamed in agony.
28:14A boot crushed his broken hand into the filth.
28:17It was one of the underworld thugs Kalen had hired to defile me.
28:21Finally, karma had come full circle.
28:23The thugs ruled the slums now, and the once-proud golden heir was their plaything.
28:27Well, well.
28:29If it isn't Lord Kalen.
28:31The thug leader grabbed his hair, yanking his face from the mud.
28:37No food?
28:38Lick the slob bucket, and I will give you a moldy crust of bread.
28:43Kalen's eyes were empty, his lips trembling.
28:46He had no magic, no pride, no strength left.
28:49With no other choice, he closed his eyes and crawled toward the bucket.
28:53He had traded everything for survival.
28:56Just then, three equally filthy men charged at him.
29:00It was Tristan, Julian, and Cassius.
29:02They fought him like rabid dogs, hitting him as hard as possible.
29:07This is your fault!
29:08You brought that liar into our lives!
29:09Tristan kicked Kalen's skull, coughing up blood as he struck.
29:13Julian clawed at his throat, screaming for the bread.
29:16Give me that!
29:17I haven't eaten in three days!
29:18Lady Serafina, I'm so sorry.
29:20Cassius huddled in the corner, biting his own fingers, muttering my name over and over.
29:24These four knights were once at the peak, promising to be bound by love and lies.
29:28Now they tore each other apart for a scrape of bread in the mud.
29:31Suddenly, a sky projection lit up the slums.
29:34Today was my birthday parade.
29:36I stood on the throne, robed in black and crimson, crowned with dragon scales.
29:41The whole world was under my feet.
29:43Damien fed Rear Northern Delicates, his gaze full of love and devotion.
29:47The four men froze, staring up at they had the sky.
29:52They looked at the girl they had destroyed.
29:54The girl who had loved them, who had saved them, who had endured their cruelty.
29:58If they had chosen wisely, if they had not been blinded by a liar, maybe they would have
30:03stood at my side.
30:04Being worshipped by millions, regret pierced their hearts like red-hot blades.
30:09Serafina!
30:10My Serafina!
30:11Ah!
30:12Kalen reached for the sky, his hand covered in mud and blood.
30:16He screamed, slamming his head into the stone until he broke.
30:19He went mad.
30:20The three others wailed, broken beyond repair.
30:22They would rot in the mud, awake to their regret for the rest of their miserable lives.
30:27The royal parade began.
30:28Damien and I rode upon a throne pulled by eight abyss-boned dragons.
30:32We paraded through the capital streets, stopping at the slum border for the blessing ritual.
30:37Gold coins and potions rained down.
30:39The peasants cheered, their voices shaking the sky.
30:43Long live the queen!
30:45Long live the black dragon king!
30:47Four broken figures crawled from the mud.
30:50Kalen and his knights, filthy and dying.
30:53The royal guards drew their swords, cold and sharp.
30:58Back off, filth!
30:59The thugs panicked, kicking Kalen to the ground.
31:02Do not anger the queen, you beast!
31:07Kalen clung to the thung's leg, staring up at me.
31:11Please, kill me!
31:13Grant me death!
31:15The three others bowed until their foreheads bled, begging for the same mercy.
31:19I sat upon the bone dragon throne, staring down at them.
31:22Death.
31:23That would be too merciful.
31:26Kalen's eyes widened in despair.
31:28He screamed, desperate and wild.
31:30I know a secret!
31:31The golden dragon vault!
31:33It has endless treasure!
31:34He crawled toward me, his broken legs dragging in the mud.
31:37Kill me, and I will give you the incantation!
31:40I lifted my hand.
31:41A golden dragon scale glowed in my palm.
31:43It was the master key to the vault.
31:45Kalen froze.
31:46I had Damien raise the vault six months ago.
31:48Its treasures line the floors of my estate.
31:51The last flicker of hope in his eyes died.
31:53Damien chuckled, low and cruel.
31:56He tossed a rusted iron dagger into the mud between them.
31:59My queen is merciful.
32:01She will not stain her hands.
32:03But I give you a choice.
32:04The four men stared at the dagger, trembling.
32:07Only one of you may die a clean death.
32:10The last one standing gets a quick end.
32:12The other three, your souls will burn in the Abyss Fire for ten thousand years.
32:17Abyss Fire was torture beyond their worst nightmares.
32:20They shook, broken, and terrified.
32:22No.
32:23We are as close as brothers.
32:25Tristan whispered.
32:27Give it to me!
32:28Let me die!
32:29But Julian lunged for the dagger first.
32:32Cassius tackled him, biting out his throat.
32:36Blood sprayed across the mud.
32:38Tristan seized the dagger and stabbed Cassius to death.
32:43Once loyal brothers became monsters, killing for a quick death.
32:48Caelan crawled forward, smashing a rock in Totristan's skull.
32:52The mud ran red with blood in the end.
32:54Only Oniman remained.
32:56It was Caelan.
32:56He knelt, covered in his buddy's blood, lifting the dagger to Damien.
33:01I won.
33:02Kill me.
33:04Please, kill me!
33:05Damien flicked the finger, sending black magic into his body.
33:09Caelan's wounds sealed shut.
33:10He would not die.
33:12Caelan's smile shattered into madness.
33:14What have you done?
33:15You promised to kill me!
33:17Daughter Malin stared at him, cold and unforgiving.
33:20I promised.
33:21But I am the Abyss Black Dragon.
33:24Did you think a devil's promise meant anything?
33:29Caelan went completely catatonic.
33:31I stood and stepped to the edge of the throne.
33:33Death is too easy, Caelan.
33:35You will live to watch me rise to heights.
33:37You will never touch.
33:39I waved my hand.
33:40The bone dragons roared.
33:42The throne rolled forward, its wheels crushing the mud before his eyes.
33:46Filth splattered across Caelan's face.
33:49The thug leader grabbed his hair, sneering.
33:51Your brothers are dead.
33:52You work four times harder now, boy.
33:55Caelan's screams echoed behind me, raw and endless.
33:58I did not look back, not once.
