Short filmTranscript
00:00Werewolves and merfolk stand side by side. The werewolves rule the land. On the continent of
00:05Ursulia the werewolves and merfolk stand side by side. The werewolves rule the land. While the
00:10merfolk dwell in the deep sea. Half a month ago, Wolf King Cyrus's parents mysteriously vanished
00:16at sea. The werewolves placed all the blame on the merfolk. My people are being hunted down,
00:22imprisoned, and having their pearls forcibly dug out. To prevent the merfolk from being slaughtered,
00:28I decided to go ashore and seduce my childhood friend Cyrus, who had become the Alpha King.
00:35He still loved me deeply, and we spent three passionate days and nights together in bed.
00:41Waking up from a haze of pleasure, I hadn't even had the chance to beg Cyrus to release my people
00:46before a corrosive elixir was viciously poured over my head. This is just a taste of what's to come
00:52if you don't tell me where my parents are.
00:56From then on, I was forced to watch him flirt with his mistress Emily, had to extract my mermaid
01:02pearl to help heal her body, was forced to dance barefoot to entertain Emily, so that she could
01:07sleep. Cyrus hated every fiber of my being, yet always held me tenderly in his arms whenever I
01:13was on the brink of death. Do you think I'll go easy on you just because I love you? I'll
01:17make you
01:18wish you were dead. Can't you be good and tell me where my parents are? Soon, however, these days
01:25would come to an end, and I wouldn't have to keep that secret any longer. After all, a mermaid who
01:30did
01:30not return to the sea after three years on land would turn into seafoam, and now there were only three
01:36days until my time was up.
01:39What the hell are you looking at with those disgusting eyes?
01:44Late at night, the doors to the basement were kicked open harshly.
01:49How dare you sleep so comfortable when Emily's hurt?
02:02My body was dragged roughly across the course of the gravel road, leaving behind a long trail
02:09of blood. Eventually, I was dragged to Cyrus' feet. He furrowed his brows when he saw my
02:18bloodied state, as if he wanted to say something but held back.
02:22Emily's hurt. Heal her with your mermaid's pearl.
02:26On the land of Ursolia, the tears of U.S. merfolk can heal any external wound. I slowly lifted
02:32my head, my gaze falling on Emily lying on the bed. Her lower belly was slightly rounded.
02:37My heart instantly stopped.
02:48What the hell are you looking at with those disgusting eyes? Who else do you want to hurt?
02:55I... I didn't...
02:57I'm here, so don't you even think of hurting anyone again.
03:02I'm sorry.
03:04I'm sorry.
03:15Slowly, I crawled towards the bed and observed the wounds on Emily's hand. Clearly, she'd been
03:20teasing a starving mermaid with fruit and got bitten as a result.
03:32Get out, all of you!
03:34I continued, piercing my chest with my sharp nails and extracting the mermaid pearl from
03:40within, trembling from the intense pain that came as a result.
03:54I never intentionally acted to garner any pity from him. That was Emily's forte, not mine.
04:01Illuminated by my mermaid pearl's glow, Emily quickly woke up.
04:12Are you alright? Does it still hurt?
04:16It doesn't hurt anymore, but the scent of blood is making me nauseous, so can you get her out
04:21of here pretty please?
04:23Are you deaf? Get lost!
04:29Emily, don't ever go close to those ugly, evil mermaids ever again. They'll only hurt you.
04:37You feel so good, Emily. So tight for me.
04:42My heart, already numb with pain, was stabbed with another knife. The pain reaching places
04:47I never imagined.
04:56You disgusting monster! Aren't you supposed to be immortal? Why are you bleeding all over
05:02the floor instead of healing your wounds quickly?
05:12Wipe the floor clean or I'll tell the Alpha King to punish you. I started wiping the floor, but it
05:17was a never ending task. I couldn't stop bleeding, so the floor never became clean.
05:22Through the narrow crack in the door, I saw their naked bodies intertwined, Cyrus thrusting deeply into Emily as she
05:29moaned beneath him.
05:45I cried silently. I thought very soon I would finally be free. Even mermaids with their legendary immortality would still
05:53die. I was finally reaching the last three days of my life.
06:02I'll deal with this dirty thing immediately.
06:05As I cleaned the final drop of blood on the floor, the wound on my chest finally healed completely. At
06:12the same time, a new day dawned for the moonshadow pack.
06:18Cyrus emerged from the bedroom, still carrying Emily's scent. The fresh kiss mark on his neck burned my eyes like
06:25a brand.
06:26He glanced at the rag soaked in dark red blood and frowned.
06:30Why is there so much blood?
06:33I didn't explain. I only lowered my head.
06:37I'm sorry. I'll deal with this dirty thing immediately.
06:41Wait, that monster actually asked me how to please a werewolf and what gifts to give a werewolf mate before?
06:48Goodness! Is she trying to seduce the Alpha King? Gosh, how delusional!
06:54Doesn't she know those dirty merfish are the reason the Alpha King's parents disappeared? She should spend her entire life
06:59repenting!
07:00Hearing those words, I immediately sensed danger and tried to retreat back to the basement. But Cyrus was faster.
07:06I just remembered. It's time for me to interrogate you. Now talk. Where did you take my parents?
07:20I closed my eyes. The terrifying memories of being electrocuted in this exact chair flooded my mind. My whole body
07:28began to tremble uncontrollably.
07:36Please. No. Not again.
07:41I begged in a broken voice. Tears streaming down my face.
07:55Cyrus!
07:57I'm begging you!
07:59The moment I finished speaking, strong electrical currents surged through my body.
08:05I screamed in agony.
08:14My entire body convulsed violently, and the wounds that had just scabbed over split open again. Fresh blood poured out.
08:22When the current finally stopped, I was so weak I could barely breathe.
08:26I just want to know where my parents are, Marina. If you tell me me, I'll let you go.
08:33I could never let anyone know where Cyrus's parents were.
08:37I... I won't tell you.
08:48We'll be that way!
08:55His was a matter of their safety. Cyrus stared at me for a very long while, before scoffing and ordering
09:02for his underlings to bring the mermaid pearls that I thought I'd kept hidden.
09:10My eyes went wide, and I struggled in the chair.
09:14What are you doing?! You can't do that!
09:22Of course I can. I can do whatever I want to a criminal like you.
09:37I hear that mermaid pearls contain the souls of you, Murphic, and that you'll never be able to revive them
09:44ever again if their mermaid pearls were destroyed.
09:49Does this pearl belong to your father or your mother?
09:54He didn't know. The pearl he had just crushed under his foot wasn't someone else's. It was mine.
10:04I hate you, Cyrus!
10:06In response, I got a kiss that was so fierce I couldn't breathe.
10:10You hate me? What right do you have to hate me?
10:15I didn't speak, his kiss making me dizzy and confused. Mermaids had always had the custom of taking human form
10:22and going ashore to look for their true love.
10:26I was three years old when I first met Cyrus.
10:30Mom, I like her! Can she be my Luna?
10:34The moment he saw me, he looked up at his mother and asked,
10:37Well, you would need to treat her well and get her to like you first, right?
10:44After that, Cyrus and I became the best of friends, spending most of our time together.
10:51The year I turned 15, merfolk started being hunted for their healing abilities.
10:56I was forced to leave the land and return to the sea, but I'd often sneak back on land and
11:01look for Cyrus.
11:02When people asked me about my identity.
11:08She's my beloved girlfriend, and my future Luna, Marina.
11:14At that moment, I realized that I'd completely and utterly fallen for him.
11:27In any case, I wouldn't have to bear any of this love or any of this hate ever again.
11:33I had two days left.
11:34Cyrus tried to lift me from the chair, only to find his arms soaked in my blood.
11:39He paused and looked at my ruptured wounds.
11:43It's dirty, isn't it?
11:45But it's fine.
11:47I'm going to die.
11:55You can't die.
11:58Not without my permission.
12:07Undoing the shackles on my ankles, he plunged me into a pool of healing elixir.
12:11I coughed and choked, and the wounds on my body stopped bleeding.
12:21However, I felt that there was something wrong with the healing elixir that I was plunged into.
12:26My body was temporarily healed, for sure.
12:29But the side effects were going to leave irreparable damage on my body.
12:33Looking up, I caught sight of Emily hiding behind the door.
12:38Marina, I want you dead.
12:40Dead.
12:55In my days, I felt someone hold me close, caressing my hair gently.
13:00Marina.
13:02If all of this never happened.
13:05If only things were as they were.
13:08Only a guard that dragged me to the courtyard.
13:11The scorching sunlight beat down on me relentlessly, and I quickly felt dehydrated.
13:16Cyrus and Emily were there in the courtyard, and seeing me, Emily made a show of looking concerned.
13:21You haven't eaten in a long time, right?
13:24Are you hungry?
13:26My throat was dry, and it hurt to even draw in a single breath, so I couldn't respond to her
13:32immediately.
13:33At Emily's signal, a guard kicked me hard.
13:36The kick landed right on an unhealed wound, and fresh blood stained my clothes again.
13:43Cyrus seemed irritated. He frowned and threw his coat over me.
13:49Enough!
13:50Heal your wound and stop playing the victim!
13:52You know that new faints are the sight of blood!
13:54A devious glint flashed through Emily's eyes as she threw dirty meat and vegetables onto the ground in front of
14:00me.
14:00You must be hungry!
14:02Eat up!
14:06From the looks of it, that moment earlier with him holding me and crying must have been a dream.
14:11How could he possibly still hold any feelings toward me?
14:14I slowly lowered my head and reached for the food on the ground, pitifully eating like a disgraced mutt.
14:28Suddenly Emily's voice, underlined with malice, rang in my ears.
14:33Why aren't you eating the meat when you need you?
14:35I'm sure you need the nutrition, right?
14:42Numbly, I placed the meat into my mouth.
14:52My sense of taste had long since been dulled from all the pain I suffered.
14:56So all I could feel was that the meat was slightly different from anything I'd ever eaten before.
15:05Is it good?
15:10They're always in seawater, so I'm sure mermaid flesh is pretty tender, right?
15:14A piece of meat dropped from my mouth as I raised my head in shock, looking at Emily as if
15:20I was processing what she just told me.
15:22Her smile only grew wider, relishing in my pain.
15:26A wave of nausea rose up and I collapsed to the ground.
15:32I had thrown up all over Emily's heels.
15:45Without waiting for orders, the guards grabbed me by the hair and dragged me away, stuffing a rock into my
15:51mouth.
15:59Cyrus held Emily in his arms, threw away her soiled shoes, and ordered a servant to fetch her a new
16:05pair.
16:06He used to treat me like that too in the past, but now all he had for me was hatred.
16:12What's wrong, Marina?
16:14You should have expected this when you Mershiks heard us, werewolves.
16:19Since you don't want to eat, just throw the meat into the rubbish.
16:24Emily wore a new pair of shoes and kicked the meat away, before turning to look at Cyrus.
16:30Alpha King, don't blame Marina, she's just not hungry, that's all.
16:35How about you let her keep me company while I paint to make up for it?
16:41You're too kind, Emily.
16:43Then, he took the rock from my mouth, wiped away the dirt on my face, and even gripped my chin.
16:49Hear that? You upset Emily, and now she's giving you the chance to make up for it.
16:55Keep her company, and don't make her unhappy.
17:08Cyrus' grip on my chin became tighter, and he seemed to want to say something, but he was interrupted by
17:14an incoming call.
17:15He stood up and bid farewell to Emily before leaning down and kissing her pregnant belly.
17:21Watching them, I couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness washing over me.
17:25After Cyrus left, Emily didn't bother keeping up the act any longer, only rolling her eyes at me.
17:31I don't like being watched while I paint. Go sit by the trash can.
17:36I quietly moved to sit by the trash can.
17:39The sun was far too bright for me today, and there was at least some shade by the trash can.
17:46A few moments later, Emily's maid came over with a bucket.
17:49Hey, monster!
17:51Emily needs red paint for her drawing.
17:53The prettiest red is the color of blood, so extract a bucket of your blood for her.
17:59Use this.
18:03I hesitated.
18:04But it's rusted.
18:08Do you think you're still a princess?
18:10Don't be so picky and cut yourself already, or I'm not gonna go easy on you!
18:16The maid put her hands on her hips and yelled.
18:35All I could do was take the dagger and slit my wrist, allowing the blood to drip into the bucket.
18:41I only stopped when my lips turned purple, and I was close to passing out, when the bucket was finally
18:46full.
18:53Leaning against the trash can in a daze, I heard a few maids talking in the courtyard nearby.
18:59Emily's paintings are just gorgeous.
19:01It's a pit how difficult it is for her to get the materials she needs for her paints.
19:07Did you know that she could only get a tiny bottle of pearl powder after killing several merwith?
19:15Why do those monsters only have one mermaid pearl?
19:19Since they're freaks anyway, what's a few more?
19:33Is there too much?
19:34Less than the other.
19:34It's just a pin построite.
19:34They're certain!
19:35Well, this is you all there.
19:35The foamy guys!
19:42Thanks.
19:43Bye?
19:44I'm just Zamonaётся.
19:45and down theниц.
19:47Have a wedding?
19:50Ah, I'm a geeky party daar,
20:06When I got there, she had her hand around the throat of a mermaid, her knife stabbing
20:11into their chest with precision, digging out their mermaid pearl and crushing it in one
20:16fluid motion. At that moment, I felt like my heart was crushed into pieces as well. Wiping
20:23the blood on her hands, she turned to look at me.
20:32Marina, I didn't know that you merfish had differently colored pearls. I just want white
20:38ones. I hear only royalty has pearls of that color, right?
20:45You're the mermaid princess. So you must know who's royalty, right? Could you help me get
20:51their white pearls, pretty please? You're murdering my people for paint? Just a few more. Pretty
21:14big sis, save me!
21:22Ah, so he's your brother. How cute. I'll go with him next then.
21:34By her orders, two guards dragged my little brother out from the tank and held his chest
21:39up to Emily's knife. Please, Emily, let him go. He was adopted, so he isn't royalty. My pearl
21:47is white, so use mine. But you're a filthy little liar. So who knows if you're lying now, too?
22:00In any case, I'll know once I see it. Little boy, I'll take your pearl, then Marina's...
22:11No! You brat! How dare you!
22:17Don't hurt Marina!
22:20I already told you that you would know where your parents were when the time was right!
22:33Marina! You already hurt my parents, so are you going to do the same to Emily?
22:37Please, let him go. I'll take the punishment. I'll take the punishment, so take me instead!
22:45Shut up! Don't make me repeat myself over and over again. If you let me know where my parents
22:51are, I'll let go of both him and you.
22:56You don't know a damn thing. I already told you that you would know where your parents were
23:00when the time was right. Why did you have to torture me time and time again and even hurt
23:05my family? I hate you, Cyrus!
23:13Since you won't talk, fine. Let your brother atone in your place.
23:25My brother's body quickly turned cold and stiff. His soul destroyed. He was truly gone.
23:43Emily pretended to help me up, but just as she got close, she threw herself to the floor.
23:49Clutching her stomach, she cried and accused me.
23:58Marina, why did you push me? I was just joking, and your brother tried to bite my hand off.
24:06Now you're trying to kill my baby, too?
24:10Yes. I want to kill all of you. Kill me.
24:36Once Emily's pup comes, you'll pay the price.
24:41Yes.
24:46Watching him anxiously leave with Emily, I chuckled bitterly. That day would never come.
24:52I was about to die after all.
24:56Let this endless pain end here.
25:03Once more, I was dragged into the dark and gloomy basement.
25:08Right above me was the temporary delivery room.
25:18It hurts, Cyrus! It hurts so much!
25:26I can't do this anymore!
25:33Finally.
25:35I can finally be free.
25:39Let me go.
25:41Let this endless pain end here.
25:57Alpha King! Your parents have returned!
26:06Alpha King!
26:16where's marina didn't she come to see you quick take her to the sea if she doesn't get into the
26:24water soon she'll die cyrus's breath hitched as panic filled his heart but he still tried to put
26:35on a brave front replying nonchalantly stop joking dad murphy can't die she hurt emily just now so i
26:43locked her in the basement you idiot enough talk bring us to the basement now
27:08mom dad look she's fine see
27:22in the next moment cyrus fell to his knees trembling as he cradled me in his arms as the alpha
27:29king
27:29he had never knelt to anyone before but now he seemed to care about nothing else
27:35all he could see was me gradually fading away
27:52marina you're just pretending to be pistol again right you're not really hurt are you
27:59i wanted to reply to him but i couldn't
28:17don't die marina you're not allowed i haven't had the chance to see you in a wedding dress nor tell
28:24the world that you were my luna we haven't told each other we loved each other yet speak marina
28:28tell me everything and i'll believe you please don't die dad
28:38you said to put her in seawater go get her to seawater right now
28:55the pack had a research lab connected to the ocean but it was already too late i could no longer
29:02be saved
29:08don't scare me marina
29:11why are you becoming so light
29:17you still haven't told me the truth so don't leave
29:28i couldn't hear anything beyond that
29:31my consciousness fading into nothingness
29:35my death was already inevitable so even if i was placed into seawater it only slowed down the speed of
29:42me dissolving into foam
29:55mom dad where did the merfish take you didn't they kidnap you were you hurt
30:21so you tortured marina like this without even knowing the truth
30:25your father and i have never taught you to be like this
30:29the merfish didn't hurt us in fact they're the saviors of our pack marina even saved you too
30:41but i saw the merfish and take you away back then
30:54that was just one act we put on
30:57one that we decided on together with the merfish
31:05syrus our ancestors had once offended a powerful dark sorcerer and so we were cursed
31:10from then on all the werewolves in our pack would have genetic defects
31:13merford are the only ones who can help to resolve this
31:15the fact that we have genetic defects can't be known by our conciders
31:19and our research had always been held in secret
31:24because we once helped marina's parents they agreed to aid our tribe in curing the genetic illness
31:29of that they healed who won your genetic ilbia was marine
31:34using her own flesh and blood
31:37we already owe the merfish too much and look what you've done
31:59but why didn't she tell me the truth after all this time
32:08because there's been a traitor among us the whole reason marina came ashore
32:15was to find the traitor too
32:17who are you
32:18who are you
32:21who are you
32:22who are you
32:22who are you
32:33who are you
32:36who are you
32:51earlier in his rush to save me he'd completely ignored the smell of the basement
32:56now looking around he realized mold grew all over the damp wooden floors
33:02and that this place was in no condition for anyone to live in.
33:16I never had my own room before, only living in Cyrus's wardrobe at night.
33:21Later on, I was kicked out because Emily didn't want me to sleep in the same room as Cyrus.
33:26With fake pity, she had the maids arrange for me to stay in the basement instead.
33:52Why are you in this place, Alpha King?
33:54Emily wants to see you!
34:05Were you the one who put Marina in this place?
34:15Emily said that a dark and damp place like this suited Mermin.
34:33So this is how Emily secretly tortured Marina behind my back.
34:39How kind of her.
34:44All this time, I've been blind.
34:51Marina, I'm sorry.
34:54I'm so sorry for everything I did to you.
35:16What's the use of your repentance now, Cyrus?
35:19When I was begging you, when I was bleeding and dying every day.
35:22Where was this regret your apology comes far too late?
35:26I don't need it anymore.
35:30A deal?
35:56Cyrus, I heard that your parents returned.
35:59Is that true?
36:01It is.
36:05My parents returned.
36:08And they said that we've misunderstood her all these years.
36:12And that they left because of a deal they made.
36:16A deal?
36:18Why didn't I know about it?
36:22Have some rest.
36:24Marina's not doing well, so I need to go take care of her.
36:27Sleep by yourself tonight.
36:29I don't know.
36:47I don't know.
36:48I don't know.
36:50I don't know.
36:51I don't know.
36:51I don't know.
36:52I don't know.
36:53I don't know.
36:53Alpha King, you should know that death is an irreversible journey.
36:58Marina's mermaid pearl is almost fully seafoom, so there is no way to resurrect her.
37:03At this point, it would be simpler to find her a place to rest.
37:17Useless, all of you.
37:19I didn't spend so much money hiring you to hear you blubber excuses.
37:25If you can't cure Marina, then you will be laid to rest with her.
37:29I don't know.
38:03Alpha King, what's the use of doing all this after all this time?
38:09You're the one who tortured Marina for all these years, and the source of all her pain.
38:13What's the point of making yourself look like a heartbroken fool now, when she's already gone?
38:22Finally, someone put to words what had been bothering me during this entire exchange.
38:26Cyrus treated me like the dirt under his feet while I was still alive, yet acted repentant after I was
38:32dead.
38:33What was the point?
38:34I didn't want this love that came too late.
38:53what was the point of making her copy of inspiration?
38:53I didn't want that coisa to be.
38:53I was there when she was old Salvador Dean for everything she could come to.
38:54It's always the reason for her and another destination.
38:54foi
38:54it's always the Holy thing that prepared all your Taking down all the LAX rink left inside.
38:55but it was the best.
38:55enjoyed it.
38:56and
39:06the
39:06It's alright, Marina. Let me end your life for you.
39:53Die, Marina.
40:24Sirius.
40:27Sirius, why are you here?
40:31Emily, why did you want to kill Marina? She's never done a thing to you.
40:34I did it to help you.
40:36I know you hate her, so I killed her for you so you didn't need to dirty your hands.
40:42Besides, she's nothing but a monster, so she should have died ages ago.
40:47I was only doing the right thing.
40:56You did it? To help me?
40:59Then what about when you locked her up in that narrow basement and used her blood as paint?
41:04Wait. You're just a venomous witch who's jealous of Marina.
41:29You're just a venomous witch who's jealous of Marina.
41:34I love you from now on, so can't we live happily together?
41:55I love you from now on, so can't we live happily together?
42:19Alpha King, are you gonna punish me because of those monsters?
42:26I love you from now on, so can you help me?
42:29I love you from now on, so can you help me?
42:36Sirius immediately slapped her across her face, before throwing a stack of parchment at her.
42:47Are you mad?
42:49Marina's my luna queen!
42:51Besides, you're nothing but a traitor who betrayed the pack!
42:58Emily was pinned to the ground, her once dainty face becoming smudged with dirt.
43:04Even when she saw the parchment, she didn't think that she did anything wrong.
43:10Fine! You can call me a traitor! So what? Those murphins are monsters! They're not from the same spreece as
43:17us, so they'd never help us out of the goodness of their hearts! You can't let them trick you!
43:22Alpha King, are you gonna punish me because of those monsters?
43:26Sirius took in several deep breaths, but he still couldn't suppress the pain in his heart. All these years, he'd
43:32stubbornly hurt the one who truly loved and cared for him, all while treating the vicious witch in front of
43:38him so well, he really messed up.
43:41My body was immediately torn to shreds by the magic.
43:45Emily, you're actually the descendant of the Dark Sorcerer, and you infiltrated the Moonshadow Pack so that our deal with
43:52the Murfish would never come to fruition!
43:57Everyone looked at Emily in shock.
43:59How could you know that? Who told you?
44:12Believe me now, son. Emily did all this because of her plan.
44:19But I really do want to be with Cyrus! I do!
44:21Emily cried loudly, but Cyrus only looked down at her like she was nothing more than trash.
44:31With a sudden burst of strength, she shook herself free from the werewolf that held her down and activated black
44:37magic toward the water tank, where I was held.
44:54My body was immediately torn to shreds by the magic, to the point where one couldn't even tell that it
44:59was me anymore.
45:03But my soul had started to become lighter and lighter.
45:06Marina! How dare you! Don't stop me!
45:10Cyrus wanted to jump into the water tank to save me, but he was held back by the guards.
45:15It was common knowledge, after all. That touching dark magic was tantamount to a death sentence.
45:21Emily sat there on the ground, fresh blood dripping out of her nose as she smiled deviously.
45:25But seriously, the black magic had taken a toll on her.
45:32No! How dare you stop me! Look now, her body's gone!
45:44At that moment, Cyrus looked up, and his eyes precisely met where my soul was floating.
45:49I was surprised. Could he see me?
46:02Marina, please. Please don't go. Stay with me.
46:06Perhaps it was because my body was completely destroyed, but my soul had started to become lighter and lighter,
46:12as if I was about to fade out of existence.
46:14In the end, I was completely out of reach.
46:17As the Alpha King, he had always faced everything with composure.
46:20But now, just because he couldn't hold my hand, Cyrus was already in tears.
46:31Cyrus locked himself in the laboratory for an entire week.
46:34He refused to eat or drink.
46:36No matter who came, he ignored them completely.
46:42Servants left meals at the door, only to take them away untouched.
46:48Guards stood outside, listening to the periods of dead silence broken only by the sound of things being smashed.
47:06No one dared to knock. No one dared to speak.
47:21When he finally reappeared before everyone, the entire pack drew in a sharp breath.
47:26The once majestic Alpha King now looked as if all his strength had been drained away.
47:32I need to atone for everything I've done.
47:43Werewolves hugged each other, cried, and celebrated.
47:46The genetic serum developed by the merfolk was finally made public.
47:49It was the result of many years of cooperation between Marina's parents and Cyrus' parents,
47:54a formula capable of repairing the werewolves' genetic defects.
47:59Cyrus personally handed the formula to the pack's alchemists, and ordered mass production.
48:11On the day the first batch was completed, the entire Moon Shadow Pack erupted in cheers.
48:17Werewolves hugged each other, cried, and celebrated.
48:20They no longer had to fear the diseases and early deaths caused by their genetic defects.
48:37Yet Cyrus stood apart from the crowd, silent.
48:40His beta walked over and lowered his voice.
48:45Alpha King, won't you say a few words?
48:49Cyrus shook his head and turned to leave.
48:52He didn't know what to say.
48:53All he knew was that this serum, which had saved his entire race, had been bought with Marina's flesh and
49:00blood.
49:01She had endured his torture day after day, night after night, yet she never stopped treating his people.
49:07And he had known nothing.
49:09He hadn't wanted to know anything.
49:13What?
49:15What did you say?
49:17On the day Emily was sentenced to death, Cyrus personally went to the dungeon.
49:22Emily sat huddled in the corner of her cell, hair disheveled.
49:26She no longer resembled the glamorous mistress she once was.
49:31The moment she saw Cyrus, she threw herself against the iron bars.
49:38Cyrus!
49:40You're here to save me, right?
49:41I knew you still loved me.
49:44Cyrus stood outside the bars, staring at her expressionlessly.
49:48Cyrus, I was wrong.
49:50I shouldn't have hurt Marina.
49:52I shouldn't have lied to have lied to you.
49:54But I really do love you.
49:56You can't kill me.
49:58I gave birth to your child.
50:00That child is not mine.
50:02Emily's voice cut off abruptly.
50:04What?
50:07What did you say?
50:08What did you say?
50:11The child in your belly belongs to you and that dark sorcerer.
50:17You've been lying to me from the very beginning.
50:23Cyrus!
50:24You can't do this to me!
50:26Cyrus!
50:27Cyrus!
50:29Behind him came Emily's heart-wrenching screams.
50:37On the day of Emily's execution by fire, the sky was dark and overcast.
50:42The entire Moonshadow Pack had gathered.
50:44They threw stones and spat at the execution platform.
50:54Emily stood tied to the stake with heavy iron chains.
50:57Her eyes frantically searched the crowd before finally locking onto the distant high platform.
51:03Cyrus stood there, flanked by his parents.
51:05He wasn't even looking at the execution platform.
51:10Cyrus!
51:12I curse you!
51:14You will never have Marina!
51:17You will live in pain forever!
51:19Ever!
51:32But his mother, standing beside him, noticed his tightly clenched fists, the knuckle's bone white.
51:38After the execution ended, Cyrus left alone.
51:48He didn't return to the palace.
51:51Instead, he went to the Merfolk Sea.
51:53He sat on the shore, watching the waves crash against the sand again and again, until night fell.
51:59Adjusted.
52:00You saw who was born, later before then.
52:01Just a longeramatly with the sea.
52:01And I am away standing.
