Short filmTranscript
00:00The lichen seer said I was born to be a true Luna, though the lichen king himself announced me his
00:05son's mate
00:06But on our bonding day my father's bastard daughter swapped the carriage and took my place
00:11I caught it stopped the ceremony had her dragged out and sold to the pleasure dens
00:16I entered the crown den just like I was supposed to
00:18Then on the day I went into labor the healer said the pup was breech both of us might not
00:24survive
00:24That's when kale walked in the lichen prince who had always given me everything. I wanted he walked in with
00:30her standing right beside him
00:41Alara if you hadn't lied about being born Luna, why would I have ever been forced to bond with you?
00:48Your mother is already in the warrior camps now. It's your turn to taste the feeling of losing everything
00:57Bella leaned close to my ear that Luna seat you wanted
01:02That man you wanted
01:04They can only ever be mine. I died right there
01:08Consumed by rage when I opened my eyes I was back back on the day of the bonding ceremony
01:14This time I decided to give them exactly what they wanted
01:18I am born under the moon's blessing, but the alpha throne there is no reason it has to be his
01:24The drums outside snapped me back white silk everywhere. I was reborn through the curtain. I heard my mother crying
01:31Alora once you pass through those gates. I can't protect you anymore
01:35Hold your temper never speak against kale
01:38I felt the ache hit me hard last time it was this exact moment
01:42I noticed something was wrong
01:44I walked off my carriage filed a complaint on the spot dragged Bella right back out of that carriage
01:49The lichen king wanted her executed
01:51My father had to kneel and use our ancestral honor seal just to keep her alive
01:56What I never knew was that kale had been secretly sending her money the whole time waiting for my weakest
02:01moment to destroy me
02:03Thinking about their faces still made me sick. This time I sat still
02:07I waited just as the carriage was about to move. I heard hooves. Then a voice I knew too well
02:13Stop my body went cold the second. I heard it that voice in my past life
02:17He used that same voice to whisper sweet things to me right before he threw me into the abyss
02:22Kale blocked the whole procession walked straight to the main carriage pulled Bella out himself
02:28How is this the bastard daughter?
02:31The lichen king chose the illegitimate daughter
02:33How was the carriage swapped? This is an act of deceiving the king!
02:37Kale didn't hear any of it. His eyes were only on her
02:39Thank the moon. We made it in time. Bella
02:42This time I will make you my mate. I swear it
02:46A cold shock ran through me. He was reborn too
02:49Bella was flustered, but she couldn't hide how smug she was
02:53My mother pushed through the crowd
02:55Why is it you? Where is my Alara? Where have you hidden her?
02:59Kale shoved her aside
03:03The lunar seat belongs to Bella alone
03:06I already told his majesty
03:08A wolf like Alara who spreads lies cannot enter the stronghold
03:13The argument outside kept getting louder. I lifted the curtain and stepped down
03:16My mother saw me in plain clothes. Everything that was supposed to be mine was draped on Bella
03:22She snapped at Bella immediately
03:25The alpha gave you permission to attend out of compassion and you had the nerve to steal the luma seat
03:34This was commanded by his majesty's own decree
03:38Do you want the whole blackwood pack buried with you?
03:40Bella and I love each other
03:42If Alara hadn't made up that born lunar trip
03:46She isn't even worthy of being in my presence
03:48His majesty knows everything now. The decree will be withdrawn
03:52I will never recognize this bonding
03:55Sister, I don't know why the carriage was changed
03:58But since this is Kale's wish, I dare not argue
04:03Alara be sensible
04:04Don't disgrace the blackwood pack
04:06I congratulate the Lyman prince on getting exactly what he desires
04:10He forgot something
04:11I didn't need him to be myself
04:13But whether he could hold that throne
04:16That was another matter entirely
04:18Kale looked surprised
04:20He snorted and walked away with Bella
04:22The crowd watched them go
04:24I stood alone in the road in my bonding robes
04:27My mother gripped my hand and turned on my father
04:30Edmund Blackwood, this is the bastard you insisted on keeping
04:33She had the nerve to scheme against Alara
04:37If you don't fix this, I want a separation
04:41My father said nothing
04:42Mother, don't be angry
04:44I chose not to bond with him
04:46Isn't it good to have me by your side forever?
04:53Yes, my daughter was born under the moon's blessing
04:56Go back to your room and have a rest
04:58Today you were wronged, but Kale already has his majesty's approval
05:01I can't help you
05:03You are always refined and sensible far more than Bella
05:06But the whole territory knows you were supposed to be bonded today
05:09If you stay home now, everyone will talk
05:11The blackwood pack will be the laughing stock of the territory
05:14I cut him off
05:15So father wants me to be that laughing stock?
05:18A legitimate daughter
05:19The king's chosen mate stolen by a bastard
05:22And now I'm supposed to step aside to cover it up?
05:26Before nightfall, I'd already be everyone's gossip
05:29Father, your real fear is I still want the lunar seat
05:33That I'll create a war between sisters
05:34And expose how you favored a low she-wolf
05:38Allowed a bastard to steal the legitimate daughter's bonding
05:41Ruined the blackwood alpha's reputation
05:43If I willingly bond with someone else, he could spin it as my own failure
05:48If you want me to bond, I will bond
05:51But I choose who?
05:54Otherwise, I bring everything before his majesty
05:57Every detail about the she-wolf you kept
06:00The bonding switch made against the Royal Reku
06:02Kale claimed the king approved the swap
06:05But they definitely did not tell the king that Bella was an illegitimate bastard
06:09With the royal bloodline's honor at stake, his majesty would be furious
06:14My father's eyes narrowed, he pulled his hand back
06:17It seems Alara already has someone in mind
06:20I didn't bother softening it
06:22Is there a lone wolf in the scholar's hall called Ash Mercer?
06:26I want him
06:27My father's face went dark immediately
06:29Out of the question!
06:30The blackwood pack's legitimate daughter, letting some penniless rogue caught her
06:34Even if he can read a few words, he will never set foot in this pack house
06:38I raised an eyebrow
06:39Didn't father just say I could choose?
06:42Now you change your mind the moment you look at his background
06:44Or maybe having one crown lunar isn't enough
06:47Maybe father still wants to trade me for more power
06:50And perhaps even
06:51I covered my mouth fast, put on a shocked look
06:54My father glanced around at the guests and rebuked me
06:57Enough!
06:58I watched him pace and found it laughable
07:00In his eyes, I was probably nothing like the obedient daughter he used to know
07:04Fine, since you want to bond, then let it be as you say
07:07He turned to leave
07:08I called after him
07:09One more thing
07:10My bonding gifts must be double what Bella received
07:13A legitimate daughter versus a bastard
07:15Is that too much?
07:17He gritted his teeth
07:18Granted
07:20I also want a separation document between you and mother
07:23If you won't give it, I'll bring mother before his majesty and let the king decide
07:28Ungrateful child!
07:29But I knew he had agreed
07:30In my past life and this one
07:32I must protect you
07:32He only ever cared about his face
07:34Even if they cannot see it
07:35I sent riders to find Ash Mercer immediately
07:38I have a task for you
07:38Told him to come in three days with bonding gifts
07:40I want you to find someone
07:41His reply came fast
07:42Every word shaking with nervous sincerity
07:44To be favored by the pack princess is Ash's great fortune
07:49I will prepare a hundred mile procession and see you bonded in splendor
07:53I laughed softly
07:54What I didn't expect
07:55Before Ash Mercer even arrived, Kale came back to the pack house with Bella
08:00A few days later, I was drinking tea with my mother in the main hall
08:05You see the Lycan prince and his luna and still you do not bow
08:09Are you waiting to be punished?
08:11Before I could respond, his attendant sees both of us
08:25Has the Lycan king's register recorded Bella's name?
08:29If not, and you're already calling her Crown Luna, you're flouting his majesty's own decree
08:35Why would I bow to a Lycan prince who ignores pack law and deceives his king?
08:42My lord, everyone knows sister has deep feelings for you
08:48Acting out of emotion is only natural
08:51Please don't harm your health
08:56Sister, all of this is my fault
08:59I couldn't control my feelings
09:01But I never meant to hurt you
09:04You have everything
09:06The finest wolves in the territory would line up for you
09:09I've had nothing from the beginning
09:11Even seeing our father once was nearly impossible
09:14I only reached for this one small warmth
09:18So knowing full well the royal decree couldn't be refused
09:21You secretly arranged your bonding behind the king's back
09:24Risk the entire Blackwood pack
09:27On the day of the ceremony
09:29All for your uncontrollable feelings
09:40The end of the ceremony
09:44The end of the ceremony
09:48Kale stared at the blood at my mouth
09:52I am the Lycan prince
09:54The future Lycan king
09:56Whatever Luna I choose to seat
09:58I will seat. How many lives do you have to spend on defiance?
10:06Shameless creature!
10:08Ellara doesn't lower herself to argue with you.
10:11What does it matter that you clawed your way onto a high branch?
10:15A sparrow can't become a true wolf no matter how high she flies.
10:24You're looking to die.
10:26Stop!
10:28Is this how the future Lycan King treats pack members?
10:31Taking lives without cause.
10:33You can't even be sure you'll hold the Alpha Throne.
10:36His majesty is still strong and healthy.
10:39Coveting your father's seat this openly.
10:42Are you planning a coup?
10:58He had someone bandage my hand.
11:01Bella watched the whole thing.
11:03Jealousy surged across her face.
11:05She collapsed against Kale with tears in her eyes.
11:08It's all my fault.
11:10Please cast me out and give sister the Lunar Seat back.
11:16What kind of nonsense is that?
11:19You are the only one I will ever claim as my mate.
11:24Since they've made you this miserable, shall I have them thrown into the punishment den and flayed alive?
11:32Too easy your anger.
11:34I stared at him and the memories flooded back.
11:36Last time, I was near the end of my labor when he brought Bella to parade in front of my
11:41bedside.
11:42To vent Bella's anger, he had my mother bound and sent to the warrior camp where she became a slave
11:48for any wolf to use as they pleased.
11:53When I finally saw my mother again, she was already a broken corpse.
11:58Every bone shattered.
11:59I died, consumed by rage.
12:02I couldn't even kill him with my own hands.
12:05Being reborn, I swore to myself I would never let my mother be harmed again.
12:10Not even a fraction.
12:12Bella was still crying beside us.
12:14How could that be?
12:16The lady is the mistress of this house.
12:18Who am I to give her orders?
12:22You are now the Crown Luna.
12:24You deserve this position.
12:26This one who has already taken a separation is of no account.
12:30Kale ignored her and commanded his attendants to seize my mother.
12:38Kale!
12:39Wrongdoing should not extend to family.
12:42If you have a quarrel, bring it to me!
12:47You think I dare not?
12:49I'll grant your wish right now.
13:02Want to save your mother?
13:04Kneel and slap yourself an apology to Bella.
13:07I'll release her when she says she's satisfied.
13:20I'll kneel.
13:22Let go of my mother!
13:31The slap and the apology.
13:34A liar won short and your mother loses a finger.
13:50I stared at my mother, collapsed unconscious on the floor.
13:54My tears were already gone.
13:56I couldn't even curse.
13:57All I could do was keep striking my face to bloody red, biting my lip until it broke.
14:03I beg the Crown Luna's forgiveness.
14:06I was blind and without sense.
14:10Bella watched me in silence.
14:12Oh my lord, have them stop.
14:15Sister's forehead is bleeding.
14:17Has my Bella's anger eased yet?
14:19The triumph barely contained on her face.
14:21Let sister rise.
14:23After all, I still want sister to come into the stronghold and take care of me.
14:27Kale laughed.
14:29Fine.
14:30Having shared blood as your personal attendant will mean better care.
14:34I know you have yearned for me and couldn't have me.
14:37Now I give you the chance to see me every day.
14:39You should be thanking Bella for her generous heart.
14:42Who would bond with someone selfish?
14:45And with very little time left to live.
14:48His face transformed instantly.
14:52He raised his blade to run me through.
14:54Bold words.
14:56Let me see just how hard your spine really is.
14:59From the entrance came one announcement.
15:01The royal decree arrives.
15:03Kale froze.
15:04Released me.
15:05Knelt with everyone else.
15:07His face still venomous.
15:09My heart dropped back into my chest.
15:11I clung to the last thread of strength and knelt.
15:13Elder Haze walked in.
15:15The Lycan King's most trusted attendant.
15:17By the will of his majesty the Lion King.
15:20Summon Kale, Ellera and Bella to the royal stronghold at once.
15:24Kale had no idea what this meant.
15:26He looked at Elder Haze without respect.
15:28Is that all?
15:29Did his majesty say nothing else?
15:31Or did you bungle the king's message?
15:34Shall I have your head removed?
15:35Elder Haze gave him a sideways glance.
15:37Lion Prince.
15:38This servant dares not guess at his majesty's intent.
15:42All will be known once you enter the stronghold.
15:46Maybe the king wants to grant us the bonding in person.
15:49He summons sister too.
15:51His majesty is thorough.
15:54He won't let us be wronged.
15:55Kale's brow eased slightly.
15:57He glanced back at me with contempt.
16:00Are you not going to go change into something presentable?
16:03Appearing before the king covered in blood is a disgrace.
16:07I pressed my wounded palm and started to turn away.
16:09Elder Haze spoke up.
16:12His majesty's intent is immediate departure.
16:15If we are late, are you prepared to answer for it?
16:18I slipped a silver coin into Elder Haze's palm.
16:21Coaxed a warm smile from him.
16:25This servant thanks the young lady.
16:28I tidied my hair as best I could.
16:31Kale boarded a separate one behind us.
16:34I was still departing together with him after all.
16:38How unlucky.
16:39The carriage moved down the long avenue.
16:42My palms still seeped blood soaking through my sleeve.
16:45I thought about what Elder Haze just did for me.
16:48And I began to understand what I needed to do.
16:51In my past life, Elder Haze was the Liking King's most capable attendant.
16:55After Kale took the throne,
16:57all because he dared to counsel openly,
17:00Kale had his tongue cut out in front of the whole court,
17:03then beaten to death, blow by blow.
17:06By that time, I was already a wandering primal spirit.
17:11I watched him bleed out on the stones.
17:14The sorrow I felt had no words.
17:16I wrapped my wound with a clean cloth from my sleeve,
17:19called out through the curtain quietly.
17:21Elder Haze.
17:23What does the young lady require?
17:24You have served at His Majesty's side for many years.
17:28What do you know to be the one thing most forbidden within these walls?
17:31A servant who waits on others.
17:33Who am I to speak freely of the stronghold's rules?
17:36Is the young lady testing me?
17:39You are a clever wolf, and you should not remain buried.
17:42I have only one question.
17:44If someone sought to overturn the order of this stronghold one day,
17:48would you go with the current, or hold to your own conscience?
17:53After a moment, he dropped his voice lower.
17:55This servant has known only one master in this life.
17:58The one seated upon the Alpha Throne.
18:01Should anyone harbour thoughts toward what is not theirs to have,
18:04this servant will be the first to refuse them.
18:07I understood completely.
18:09With those words from you I am at ease.
18:13Elder Haze said nothing more.
18:14Just gave me one long, meaningful look.
18:19Move along.
18:20Do not keep His Majesty waiting.
18:22The carriage is halted before the stronghold gate.
18:26Elder Haze led us through the long passage toward the Lycan King's Hall.
18:30The whole way there, Bella pressed close to Kale.
18:32Kept flicking glances at me with a smirk she couldn't hide.
18:36Kale strode like someone who had already won.
18:39I laughed coldly inside.
18:40Laugh while you still can.
18:42In the hall, I knelt before the throne and paid my respects properly.
18:46This subject, Allura Blackwood, greets His Majesty.
18:49May His Majesty have 10,000 years of reign.
18:54Your son greets his royal father.
18:56May His Majesty be well.
18:58The Lycan Prince is actually willing to call me royal father.
19:03What an enormous honour.
19:05The entire hall went dead silent.
19:08Every person dropped to their knees.
19:10Your son would never dare.
19:13We beg His Majesty to see clearly.
19:16The Lycan King descended from the high seat.
19:18Face dark as a storm.
19:20Eyes bearing down on Kale like a death sentence.
19:22You dare to issue false royal decrees in my name now?
19:26What is there left that you cannot do?
19:28Kale and Bella both went completely still.
19:31Kale's mind went blank for a second.
19:33His gaze snapped to me.
19:34Your Majesty, your son would never dare commit this crime.
19:37It was her.
19:39She withdrew from the bonding first.
19:41Deliberately pulled Bella forward to take the blame.
19:44Your son didn't want to shame the royal name.
19:47That's why it came to this.
19:49Your Majesty, I knows nothing.
19:51I truly don't understand why Sister would frame us like this.
19:55Allura has been willful since childhood.
19:58Abusing her status as the legitimate daughter.
20:00Your son could not bring himself to bond with someone of that character.
20:04If there is any fault, it rests entirely with your son.
20:08It has nothing to do with Bella.
20:10Listening to him twist everything, I felt nothing.
20:13In my past life, he did the same.
20:15Threw every drop of filth onto me.
20:17Elevated Bella into an innocent, untouched soul.
20:20This time, I was no longer the Alara who could be slaughtered as she lay.
20:24I watched their desperate scrambling and let out a cold laugh.
20:28Turned and spoke without flinching.
20:29Your Majesty, the one who ordered the bonding carriage swapped, was someone from the Lichen Prince's own side.
20:35She bribed the Blackwood Pack steward, had the ceremony attendant conceal everything, stripped away every gift my mother prepared, worked
20:43with the Lichen Prince to force the bonding through as a done deal.
20:48I did not!
20:50Your Majesty, your son, swears on his life.
20:53Bella is kind-hearted by nature.
20:55She could never do something like this!
21:04By your account, every single one of them has grown bold enough to deceive me to my face.
21:10The complaints spread across the floor, dense text covering the entire document.
21:14Kale picked it up with shaking hands.
21:16After only a few lines, his face turned a sickly mix of white and green.
21:20I watched his fingers tremble, sweat breaking out on his brow.
21:24Bella crumpled to the ground, so shaken she forgot how to cry.
21:28I was deeply satisfied inside, but I showed nothing.
21:32Just kept my gaze down on those ink-red words on the floor.
21:35That was the Pack Steward's signed confession from the Pack Justice Hall.
21:38Every detail.
21:39How he received Bella's payment.
21:41How he bribed the ceremony attendant.
21:44How the carriage was swapped.
21:46The moment I was reborn, I had him seized and delivered to the Pack Justice Hall overnight.
21:52Under hard interrogation, what little backbone he had turned to dust.
21:56My father had plenty of enemies in court.
21:59Finding wolves willing to file the petition wasn't difficult.
22:02But this wasn't even the most damning piece.
22:05The truly fatal surprise I had hidden inside the petition was a set of healing records from the Pack Healer's
22:09archive.
22:10Documenting how the High Consort, before she ever carried a child, had suffered an injury that left her permanently unable
22:17to conceive.
22:18His Majesty had already verified those records.
22:21There was no other explanation for the wave of murderous intent in his eyes.
22:25Kale was still fighting, crawling on his knees, pressing his brow into the cold stone floor.
22:30Your Majesty, this must be fabricated.
22:34The Pack Steward was bought to drive a wedge between father and son!
22:39He raised his head, showing blood from the kneeling.
22:41Your Majesty, your son was raised by your hand.
22:44Named Lyon Prince by your decree.
22:47Has your son ever shown one moment of disloyalty?
22:50The Lycan King narrowed his eyes, but said nothing.
22:54Kale took that as an opening.
22:56It must be Alara.
22:58She acts out of scorned bitterness.
23:01She's been plotting to destroy me from the beginning!
23:04I watched them coldly, and finally spoke.
23:07The Lycan Prince keeps saying I act out of scorned bitterness.
23:10I dare to ask the Lyman Prince one question.
23:13On the day of our bonding ceremony, why did you take Bella and fled the territory in secret?
23:18Kale's face went rigid.
23:21Your carriage that day was stocked with three months of rations and travel funds, and border-crossing papers.
23:28If His Majesty truly approved, why would you not arrive with a full procession to claim your mate properly?
23:32Why flee in that frantic, furtive way?
23:34He opened and closed his mouth.
23:35You are making wild accusations.
23:38This Lycan Prince has never fled anywhere.
23:40I gave a faint smile and drew a letter from my sleeve.
23:43Please allow His Majesty to review this.
23:45It is correspondence between the Lycan Prince and Bella.
23:49It details how to swap the carriage, how to proceed without permission,
23:52how to use the deed already done to force His Majesty's hand.
23:56The Lycan Prince's private seal appears at the close.
23:59Elder Hayes received the letter and placed it before the royal seat.
24:03Every trace of color drained from Kale's face.
24:06In my past life, I stumbled upon this letter in Kale's hidden compartment in my final dying moments.
24:12I was powerless then, could only watch as he burned it to ash.
24:17This life I moved before him.
24:19On the second day after I was reborn, I had a copy made of that key.
24:23That letter was now resting quietly on the Lycan King's hand.
24:27The Lycan King unfolded the paper and scanned it in one sweep.
24:31Then he laughed, cold as something seeping up from the ground.
24:35Every spine in the room went rigid.
24:39Very good. Very good indeed.
24:42He folded the letter slowly and handed it to Elder Hayes.
24:46A son I raised for 20 years.
24:48And in the end, he is another wolf's blood entirely.
24:51Kale's whole body jolted. He stared in stunned disbelief.
24:55Your Majesty, what are you saying?
24:59He raised his hand toward Elder Hayes.
25:01Bring that out. Let him see.
25:06His gaze traveled between the king and my face.
25:09Finally fixed on me, his eyes churning with disbelief and hatred.
25:13Alara, what have you done?
25:16I did not answer.
25:17Elder Hayes returned, carrying a gilded wooden case.
25:20Inside were yellowed medical records and a sealed blood kin test report.
25:2423 years ago, the high consort bitter over my neglect gave in to her resentment.
25:29While confined to the exile wing, she took a guard as her secret lover and conceived an illegitimate pup.
25:35Because her body had been damaged, a miscarriage would have destroyed her last chance at motherhood.
25:39So she kept the pup hidden and gave birth in secret.
25:43That illegitimate pup is you.
25:47Kale.
25:48Kale knelt on the floor.
25:50No. Impossible.
25:52I am the Lycan prince. I am the first born legitimate heir.
25:56How could I possibly be-
25:57Your Majesty, there must be an error!
26:01How could the lion prince not be-
26:04How could he possibly be-
26:05The king did not look at her at all.
26:08Guards! Guards!
26:09Remove his Lylan prince's robes.
26:12He is stripped of all rank.
26:14Exiled to the borderlands.
26:16Never permitted to return.
26:17Since you have been so devoted to him through all of this, I will grant your wish.
26:21You are to accompany him for the rest of your days.
26:24No separation shall ever be permitted.
26:28She opened her mouth to say something, then realized Kale was looking at her, those eyes cold as a vipers.
26:34Her whole body shuddered.
26:36It was all you-
26:38If you hadn't pushed me to it.
26:40If it weren't for you-
26:42What are you saying?
26:43It was you who-
26:44You ruined me!
26:46If not for you, this rotten she-wolf!
26:48I would never have come to this!
26:50I should have been the king!
26:52I should have been-
26:53Bella clutched her throat.
26:54Kale was restrained and still.
26:57Fit either of them again, raised his hand, and signaled the guards to drag them away.
27:02Then, Kale wrenched free of the guards and lunged straight at me.
27:05Elara!
27:07I am going to kill you!
27:08His hands hadn't even grazed my clothes before guards pinned him to the ground.
27:12He struggled to raise his head.
27:13You will definitely regret this.
27:15That once handsome face, now a mask of savagery.
27:19You will definitely regret this.
27:21I looked at him, and inside, I was oddly calm.
27:24My palms still throbbed.
27:25He had stabbed it with a blade not long ago.
27:27My abdomen still ached.
27:28He had driven his boot into it not long ago.
27:30But in my heart, there was only the lightness of a burden finally lifted.
27:33He could never hurt me again.
27:35Kale was dragged away.
27:36Bella was escorted out after him.
27:39Her echoed down the long passage and dissolved into the stronghold walls.
27:43The hall held only me, the Lycan king, and a handful of attendants.
27:47He stood with his back to me, that imperial gold figure casting a long shadow across the
27:51stone floor.
27:53After a silence, he finally spoke.
27:55Elara.
27:57I knelt respectfully.
27:59This subject is here.
28:01He turned to face me, studied me for a long moment.
28:05You are a clever child.
28:07This subject would not dare.
28:10This subject only could not bear to watch someone deceive his majesty.
28:14Nor bear to see someone taint the royal bloodline with a false air.
28:18The Lycan king's eyes deepened.
28:21His voice carried a thread of exhaustion that was almost imperceptible.
28:24I was deceived for 23 years.
28:29Looked in that moment like nothing more than an old wolf who had been lied to for half his days.
28:33I did not speak.
28:34Some things were not mine to say.
28:36After a long while.
28:37Take her to the side chamber to rest.
28:39Have the healer come for her wounds.
28:42He glanced at me once more.
28:46I still have one matter to attend to.
28:48You should be present.
28:49I knew exactly what that matter was.
28:51Elder Haze led me out through a covered walkway and into the side chamber.
28:55Simple and elegant.
28:56A light drift of alpha musk incense curling from the burner.
28:59Young lady, please wait here.
29:01This servant will fetch the healer.
29:04Elder Haze.
29:06Thank you for speaking up just now.
29:08Otherwise I might not have even had a chance to tidy myself before appearing before the king.
29:14Drouched in blood.
29:16He deflected twice, but in the end accepted it.
29:18Young lady is too kind.
29:21This servant only followed the proper rules.
29:23It amounted to nothing.
29:25He hesitated, then stepped closer.
29:26Does the young lady know who else his majesty summoned today?
29:30The answer had already taken shape in my mind.
29:33The young lady is of great buffing.
29:36Those with great blessing naturally meet with great fortune.
29:40I sat alone while servants cleaned my wounds and applied medicine.
29:44It nearly severed a tendon.
29:46It would likely leave a scar.
29:49No matter, let it scar.
29:51This scar would be the most precious mark of this life.
29:55A reminder of the abyss I survived.
29:58A reminder that I would never let anyone wound me like that again.
30:01.
30:01.
30:01.
30:01.
30:01.
