Short filmTranscript
00:00The werewolves and merfolk stand side by side. The werewolves rule the land. On the continent of Ursulia, the werewolves
00:06and merfolk stand side by side. The werewolves rule the land. While the merfolk dwell in the deep sea, half
00:12a month ago, Wolf King Cyrus's parents mysteriously vanished at sea. The werewolves placed all the blame on the merfolk.
00:20My people are being hunted down, imprisoned, and having their pearls forcibly dug out.
00:26To prevent the merfolk from being slaughtered, I decided to go ashore and seduce my childhood friend Cyrus, who had
00:33become the Alpha King. He 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 heart.
00:50This is just a taste of what's to come if you don't tell me where my parents are.
00:57From then on, I was forced to watch him flirt with his mistress, Emily, had to extract my mermaid pearl
01:02to help heal her body, was forced to dance barefoot to entertain Emily, so that she could sleep.
01:08Cyrus hated every fiber of my being, yet always held me tenderly in his arms whenever I was on the
01:13brink of death.
01:14Do you think I'll go easy on you just because I love you? I'll make you wish you were dead.
01:21Can't you be good and tell me where my parents are?
01:24Soon, however, these days would come to an end, and I wouldn't have to keep that secret any longer.
01:29After all, a mermaid who did not return to the sea after three years on land would turn into seafoam.
01:34And now, there were only three days 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 of blood.
02:13Eventually, I was dragged to Cyrus' feet.
02:16He furrowed his brows when he saw my bloodied state, as if he wanted to say something but held back.
02:22Emily's hurt.
02:24Heal her with your mermaid's pearl.
02:26On the land of Ursolia, the tears of U.S. merfolk can heal any external wound.
02:31I slowly lifted my head, my gaze falling on Emily lying on the bed.
02:35Her lower belly was slightly rounded.
02:38My heart instantly stopped.
02:48What the hell are you looking at with those disgusting eyes?
02:52Who 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.
03:15Slowly, I crawled towards the bed and observed the wounds on Emily's hand.
03:20Clearly, she'd been teasing a starving mermaid with food and got bitten as a result.
03:32Get out, all of you!
03:35I continued, piercing my chest with my sharp nails and extracting the mermaid pearl from within,
03:41trembling from the intense pain that came as a result.
03:49Marina, don't you think you can make me go easy on you by acting pitiful?
03:54I never intentionally acted to garner any pity from him.
03:58That was Emily's forte, not mine.
04:01Illuminated by my mermaid pearl's glow, Emily quickly woke up.
04:13Are you all right?
04:13Does it still hurt?
04:16It doesn't hurt anymore, but the scent of blood is making me nauseous,
04:20so can you get her out of here, pretty please?
04:23Are you deaf?
04:24Get lost!
04:29Emily, don't ever go close to those ugly, evil mermaids ever again.
04:33They'll only hurt you.
04:37You feel so good, Emily.
04:39So tight for me.
04:42My heart, already numb with pain, was stabbed with another knife.
04:46The pain reaching places I never imagined.
04:56You disgusting monster!
04:58Aren't you supposed to be immortal?
05:01Why are you bleeding all over the floor instead of healing your wounds quickly?
05:12Wipe the floor clean or I'll tell the Alpha King to punish you.
05:15I started wiping the floor, but it was a never-ending task.
05:19I couldn't stop bleeding, so the floor never became clean.
05:22Through the narrow crack in the door, I saw their naked bodies intertwined,
05:27Cyrus thrusting deeply into Emily as she moaned beneath him.
05:32You feel so good, Emily.
05:35So tight for me.
05:37Cyrus.
05:39That's it, baby.
05:41Cyrus.
05:45I cried silently.
05:47I thought very soon I would finally be free.
05:50Even mermaids with their legendary immortality would still die.
05:54I 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,
06:08the wound on my chest finally healed completely.
06:11At the same time, a new day dawned for the Moonshadow Pack.
06:19Cyrus emerged from the bedroom, still carrying Emily's scent.
06:23The fresh kiss mark on his neck burned my eyes like a 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.
06:35I only lowered my head.
06:37I'm sorry.
06:39I'll deal with this dirty thing immediately.
06:42That monster actually asked me how to please a werewolf and what gifts to give a werewolf mate before?
06:49Goodness!
06:50Is she trying to seduce the Alpha King?
06:52Gosh, how delusional.
06:54Doesn't she know those dirty merfish are the reason the Alpha King's parents disappeared?
06:58She should spend her entire life repenting!
07:00Hearing those words, I immediately sensed danger and tried to retreat back to the basement.
07:05But Cyrus was faster.
07:07I just remembered.
07:09It's time for me to interrogate you.
07:11Now talk.
07:13Where did you take my parents?
07:20I closed my eyes.
07:22The terrifying memories of being electrocuted in this exact chair flooded my mind.
07:27My whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
07:36Please.
07:37No.
07:39Not again.
07:41I begged in a broken voice.
07:43Tears streaming down my face.
07:55Cyrus!
07:57I'm begging you!
07:59The moment I finished speaking, strong electrical currents surged through my body.
08:06I screamed in agony.
08:10No!
08:11No!
08:12No!
08:13No!
08:14My entire body convulsed violently.
08:17And the wounds that had just scabbed over split open again.
08:20Fresh blood poured out.
08:22When the current finally stopped, I was so weak I could barely breathe.
08:27I just want to know where my parents are, Marina.
08:30If you tell me, I'll let you go.
08:33I could never let anyone know where Cyrus' parents were.
08:36I won't tell you.
08:46I won't tell you.
08:48We'll be that way!
08:55His was a matter of their safety.
08:57Cyrus stared at me for a very long while, before scoffing and ordering for his underlings to bring the mermaid
09:04pearls that I thought I'd kept hidden.
09:10My eyes went wide, and I struggled in the chair.
09:14What are you doing?
09:15You can't do that!
09:17You can't do that!
09:22Of course I can.
09:23I can do whatever I want to a criminal like you.
09:38I hear that mermaid pearls contain the souls of you, Murphic, and that you'll never be able to revive them
09:45ever again, if their mermaid pearls were destroyed.
09:50Does this pearl belong to your father or your mother?
09:55He didn't know.
09:56The pearl he had just crushed under his foot wasn't someone else's.
10:00It 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?
10:11What right do you have to hate me?
10:15I didn't speak, his kiss making me dizzy and confused.
10:19Mermaids had always had the custom of taking human form and going ashore to look for their true love.
10:26I was three years old when I first met Cyrus.
10:30Mom, I like her!
10:32Can she be my Luna?
10:34The moment he saw me, he looked up at his mother and asked,
10:38Well, 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, Murphic 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.
11:35Cyrus 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.
11:56You can't die.
11:58Not without my permission.
12:07Undoing the shackles on my ankles, he plunged me into a pool of healing elixir.
12:12I 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.
12:27My 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.
12:54In my days, I felt someone hold me close, caressing my hair gently.
13:01Marina, if all of this never happened, if only things were as they were.
13:09Only a guard that dragged me to the courtyard, the scorching sunlight beat down on me relentlessly, and I quickly
13:15felt dehydrated.
13:16Cyrus and Emily were there in the courtyard, and seeing me, Emily made a show of looking concerned.
13:22You 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.
13:44Cyrus seemed irritated.
13:45He frowned and threw his coat over me.
13:49Enough!
13:50Heal your wound and stop playing the victim!
13:52You know that new faints at 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.
14:12How could he possibly still hold any feelings toward me?
14:15I slowly lowered my head and reached for the food on the ground, pitifully eating like a disgraced mutt.
14:29Suddenly, Emily's voice, underlined with malice, rang in my ears.
14:33Why aren't you eating the meat we need you?
14:36I'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?
15:15A piece of meat dropped from my mouth as I raised my head in shock,
15:19looking at Emily as if I was processing what she just told me.
15:22Her smile only grew wider, relishing in my pain.
15:25A 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,
15:50stuffing a rock into my mouth.
15:59Cyrus held Emily in his arms, threw away her soiled shoes,
16:03and ordered a servant to fetch her a new pair.
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.
16:50Hear that?
16:50You 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,
17:13but he was interrupted by an 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.
18:21I'm sorry.
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
18:47full.
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?
19:48Anyone can you do?
19:50Yeah, I'm sorry.
19:51Kevin, we go.
20:06When I got there, she had her hand around the throat of a mermaid, her knife stabbing into their chest
20:12with precision, digging out their mermaid pearl and crushing it in one fluid motion.
20:18At that moment, I felt like my heart was crushed into pieces as well. Wiping the blood on her hands,
20:25she turned to look at me.
20:32Marina, I didn't know that you merfish had differently colored pearls. I just want white ones. I hear only royalty
20:40has pearls of that color, right?
20:45You're the mermaid princess. So you must know who's royalty, right? Could you help me get their white pearls, pretty
20:52please?
20:55You're murdering my people? For paint? Just a few more. Pretty please, princess?
21:07There, locked in a tank of water, was my younger brother.
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 up to Emily's
21:40knife.
21:42Please, Emily! Let him go! He was adopted, so he isn't royalty! My pearl is white, so use mine!
21:49But you're a filthy little liar.
21:53So who knows if you're lying now, too?
22:00In any case, I'll know once I see it.
22:03Little boy, I'll take your pearl, then Marina's...
22:11No!
22:12You 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!
22:34You already hurt my parents, so are you gonna do the same to Emily?
22:38Please, let him go!
22:40I'll take the punishment!
22:42I'll take the punishment, so take me instead!
22:45Shut up!
22:46Don't make me repeat myself over and over again!
22:49If you let me know where my parents are, I'll let go of both him and you!
22:56You don't know a damn thing!
22:58I already told you that you would know where your parents were when the time was right!
23:02Why did you have to torture me time and time again and even hurt my family?
23:06I hate you, Cyrus!
23:13Since you won't talk...
23:15Fine.
23:17Let 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.
23:59Marina, why did you push me?
24:02I was just joking, and your brother tried to bite my hand off.
24:06Now you're trying to kill my baby, too?
24:09Yes.
24:11I want to kill all of you.
24:15Kill me.
24:18That's...
24:36Once Emily's pup comes, you'll pay the price.
24:46Watching him anxiously leave with Emily, I chuckled bitterly.
24:50That 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.
25:07Right above me was the temporary delivery room.
25:18It hurts, Cyrus.
25:20It hurts so much.
25:26I can't do this anymore.
25:35Finally, I can finally be free.
25:39Let me go.
25:42Let this endless pain end here.
25:57Alpha King, your parents have returned.
26:16Where's Marina?
26:18Didn't she come to see you?
26:20Quick, take her to the sea.
26:23If she doesn't get into the water soon, she'll die.
26:30Cyrus' breath hitched as panic filled his heart,
26:33but he still tried to put on a brave front, replying nonchalantly.
26:38Stop joking, Dad.
26:40Murphid can't die.
26:42She hurt Emily just now, so I locked her in the basement.
26:50You idiot!
26:51Enough talk.
26:52Bring us to the basement now!
27:08Mom, Dad, look.
27:12She's fine, see?
27:22In the next moment, Cyrus fell to his knees,
27:26trembling as he cradled me in his arms.
27:28As the Alpha King, he had never knelt to anyone before,
27:32but 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 Pizzle again, right?
27:56You're not really hurt, are you?
27:59I wanted to reply to him, but I couldn't.
28:17Don't die, Marina.
28:19You're not allowed!
28:21I haven't had the chance to see you in a wedding dress,
28:23nor tell the world that you were my Luna.
28:26We haven't told each other we loved each other yet.
28:28Speak, Marina.
28:29Tell me everything, and I'll believe you.
28:31Please don't die.
28:33Dad.
28:38You said to put her in seawater.
28:40Go get her to seawater right now!
28:56The pack had a research lab connected to the ocean,
28:59but it was already too late.
29:01I could no longer be saved.
29:08Don't scare me, Marina.
29:11Marina, why 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,
29:38so even if I was placed into seawater,
29:41it only slowed down the speed of me dissolving into foam.
29:54Mom, Dad,
29:57where did the merfish take you?
30:00Didn't they kidnap you?
30:02Were you hurt?
30:22So you tortured Marina like this without even knowing the truth?
30:25Your father and I have never taught you to be like this.
30:30The merfish didn't hurt us.
30:32In fact, they're the saviors of our pack.
30:35Marina even saved you too.
30:41But...
30:42But I saw the merfish and take you away back then.
30:54That was just one act we put on.
30:58One that we decided on together with the merfid.
31:05Cyrus,
31:06our ancestors had once offended a powerful dark sorcerer,
31:09and so we were cursed.
31:10From then on,
31:11all the werewolves in our pack would have genetic defects.
31:13The merfid are the only ones who can help to resolve this.
31:16The fact that we have genetic defects
31:18can't be known by our conciders,
31:19and our research had always been held in secret.
31:24Because we once helped Marina's parents,
31:27they agreed to aid our tribe in curing the genetic illness.
31:30Of that,
31:31they healed who won your genetic ill beer,
31:33was Marine,
31:35using her own flesh and blood.
31:36We already owe the merfish too much,
31:41and look what you've done!
31:58But why didn't she tell me the truth?
32:02After all this time.
32:08Because there's been a traitor among us.
32:12The whole reason Marina came ashore
32:15was to find the traitor too!
32:17who?
32:18Who?
32:19Who?
32:30Who?
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, and that
33:02this 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?
34:16Emily said that a dark and damp place like this suited Merman.
34:33So this is how Emily secretly tortured Marina behind my back, how 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.
35:17What's the use of your repentance now, Cyrus?
35:19When I was begging you, when I was bleeding and dying every day.
35:23Where was this regret your apology comes far too late.
35:26I don't need it anymore.
35:30A deal?
35:31I don't need it anymore.
35:35Give me yourļæ½ļæ½ļæ½
35:35After the final memory and woah...
35:40You're already alright.
35:55The trouxerā¦
35:56Cyrus...
35:57I heard that your parents returned.
35:59Is that true?
36:01It is.
36:06my parents returned and they said that we've misunderstood her all these years
36:12and that they left because of a deal they made
36:17a deal? why didn't I know about it?
36:22have some rest marina's not doing well so I need to go take care of her sleep by yourself tonight
36:52Alpha 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 I 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
37:38I don't think you're even more likely to escape to her
37:40if she wants to grow up
37:43She's gone
37:55No I didn't want such a sweet
37:57but she's the most famous yes
37:59she's the most famous
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.
38:27Cyrus 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? I didn't want this love that came too late.
39:06It's alright, Marina. Let me end your life for you.
39:10No.
39:23No.
39:25No.
39:26No.
39:27No.
39:31No.
39:54Die, Marina.
40:24Sirus.
40:27Sirus, why are you here?
40:31Emily, why did you want to kill Marina?
40:33She's never done a thing to you!
40:35I did it to help you!
40:37I 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!
40:57You did it, to help me?
40:59Then what about when you locked her up in that narrow basement and used her blood as paint?
41:05You're just a venomous witch who's jealous of Marina.
41:11I'm venomous?!
41:13How dare you?!
41:14If I'm venomous, then what are you?!
41:17Did you forget that you've tortured her not less than I did?!
41:21Did you ever try helping her, even once, when she was in pain?!
41:25She's already dead now, so she can't see anything you do, Sirus.
41:33I'll only love you from now on, so can't we live happily together?
42:05I'll only love you from now on, so I can't see anything you do, Sirus.
42:19Alpha King, are you gonna punish me because of those monsters?!
42:27How dare you do this to me?!
42:29I'M THE FUTURE LUNA QUEEN!
42:36I'M THE FUTURE LUNA QUEEN!
42:37Cyrus immediately slapped her across her face, before throwing a stack of parchment at her.
42:47Are you mad?!
42:49Marina's my Luna Queen!
42:52Besides, you're nothing but a traitor who betrayed the pack!
42:59Emily 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!
43:11You can call me a traitor, so what?!
43:13Those Murphan are monsters!
43:15They're not from the same spreece as us, so they'd never help us out of the goodness
43:19of their hearts!
43:20You can't let them trick you!
43:22Alpha King, are you gonna punish me because of those monsters?!
43:26Cyrus took in several deep breaths, but he still couldn't suppress the pain in his heart.
43:31All these years, he'd stubbornly hurt the one who truly loved and cared for him, all while
43:36treating the vicious witch in front of him 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
43:51Pack so that our deal with the Murphish would never come to fruition!
43:57Everyone looked at Emily in shock.
43:59How could you know that?!
44:01Who 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!
44:22Emily cried loudly, but Cyrus only looked down at her like she was nothing more than trash.
44:32With a sudden burst of strength, she shook herself free from the werewolf that held
44:36her down and activated black magic toward the water tank, where I was held.
44:43No!
44:43No, don't!
44:44Here's what you get for not loving me, Cyrus!
44:54My body was immediately torn to shreds by the magic.
44:57To the point where one couldn't even tell that it was me anymore.
45:03But my soul had started to become lighter and lighter.
45:06Marina!
45:07How dare you?!
45:09Don't stop me!
45:11Cyrus 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.
45:26The black magic had taken a toll on her.
45:33How dare you stop me?!
45:35Look!
45:36Now 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.
46:03Please don't go.
46:05Stay with me.
46:06Perhaps it was because my body was completely destroyed, but my soul had started to become
46:11lighter and lighter, as if I was about to fade out of existence.
46:14In the end, I was completely out of reach, as the Alpha King he had always faced everything
46:19with 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
46:54being smashed.
47:07No one dared to knock.
47:08No 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.
47:50It was the result of many years of cooperation between Marina's parents and Cyrus' parents,
47:55a 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.
48:19They no longer had to fear the diseases and early deaths caused by their genetic defects.
48:37Yet Cyrus stood apart from the crowd, silent.
48:41His 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.
48:54All he knew was that this serum, which had saved his entire race, had been bought with Marina's
48:59flesh and blood.
49:01She had endured his torture day after day, night after night, yet she never stopped treating
49:07his 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.
49:39Cyrus, you're here to save me, right?
49:42I knew you still loved me.
49:45Cyrus 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.
50:05What...
50:07What 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!
50:28Cyrus!
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 moon shadow pack had gathered.
50:44They threw stones and spat at the execution platform.
50:54Emily stood tied to the stake with heavy iron chains.
50:58Her 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!
51:12Cyrus!
51:12I curse you!
51:15You will never have Marina!
51:17You will never have Marina!
51:18You will never have Marina!
51:21You will never have Marina!
51:32But his mother, standing beside him, noticed his tightly clenched fists, the knuckles bone white.
51:38After the execution ended, Cyrus left alone.
51:49He 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.
51:59Ah, just ask, take a picture.
52:00I'm going to find the Mirfolk, as I'm going to go!
52:00There's some new measures I'm going to be able to do now.
52:01I'm going to go!
52:01With the wind and wind, there's two next few people,
52:01I'm not going to be able to get your feet away from the mat.
