Short filmTranscript
00:03I gave birth to dragons.
00:05Then a week later, a royal carriage pulled up to my cottage.
00:09Silver armoured guards at my door.
00:10Told me they were his heirs.
00:12Ten months ago, I dragged a half-dead stranger out of a ditch.
00:16I nursed him.
00:17I married him.
00:18I got pregnant.
00:19Then he disappeared without a word.
00:21Look, everyone says don't take in strangers.
00:23But you didn't see this man.
00:25Jawline like a statue.
00:26Abs you could grate cheese on.
00:28So, I took him home.
00:31His name was Tristan.
00:32Covered in blood.
00:33Total amnesia.
00:34I patched him up.
00:35Fed him soup.
00:35Changed his bandages.
00:37Three months later, we were falling hard.
00:39One white dress.
00:41Two silver candles.
00:42My mum crying in the corner.
00:43That was our wedding.
00:44Then I got pregnant.
00:45And the second I hit three months, his memory came back.
00:51No goodbye.
00:52Just a note on my pillow.
00:54Important business.
00:55I'll come back for you.
00:56Yeah, right.
00:57I knew what that note really meant.
01:00He'd remembered who he was.
01:01And whoever he was, a broke country girl with a baby bump didn't fit the picture anymore.
01:06He wasn't coming back.
01:07He was running.
01:09Everyone warned me labor would be hell.
01:11Nine months of dread for nothing.
01:14When the day came, two pushes.
01:16Done.
01:16No screaming, baby.
01:17No crying.
01:18Just my mom.
01:19Screaming like she'd seen the devil.
01:21Something cold slid down my leg.
01:23Something slimsy.
01:24I sat up.
01:25And there they were.
01:26Two baby dragons.
01:28Curled on my blooded sheets.
01:29Tiny wings folded against their backs.
01:32Looking right at me.
01:33Blinking.
01:33Seven days later, I was still in shock.
01:35Then I heard hooves.
01:37Dozens of them.
01:37A royal carriage pulled up to my cottage.
01:40Silver armored guards at my door.
01:42A letter.
01:42Sealed in gold wax.
01:44Handwriting I'd recognize anywhere.
01:46From Tristan.
01:47The captain knelt.
01:49By order.
01:49Of his majesty, the king requests his queen.
01:52And your child, by royal decree, is to be named heir to the throne.
01:56The king.
01:57The bleeding stranger I pulled out of a ditch.
02:00The man who left note on my pillow and ran.
02:03He was the king.
02:04I looked down at the royal decree in my hand.
02:06Then over at the two dragon cubs napping on my pillow.
02:08One of them yawned.
02:10Showed me his tiny fangs.
02:12Hey, you two.
02:14Think you're ready to rule a kingdom?
02:17These two dragons?
02:18Absolutely beautiful.
02:19Bright colored scales.
02:21Silky as silk.
02:22Tiny perfect fangs.
02:23Just like if dragons also had a beauty pageant, my dragon would sure win the championship.
02:28But that's the problem.
02:29They're not human.
02:30I turned to my mom, my whole body going stiff.
02:33Mom, be honest with me.
02:34Do we have shifter blood in the family?
02:36Werewolf ancestors?
02:37Some kind of cursed great grandma?
02:39She looked like she'd just been slapped.
02:41What is wrong with you, Willa?
02:42Our family has been honest farmers for generations.
02:46There's no monsters in our blood.
02:47Those stories are just old whiv's tales.
02:50I pointed at the bed.
02:51Then how do you explain those?
02:52Mum looked at me, looked back at me.
02:54Her face went sheet white.
02:56A human giving birth to things like this?
02:59Willa, this is a dark omen.
03:00A curse.
03:01If anyone in this village finds out, they'll drag you to the woods.
03:06They'll tie you to a stake.
03:09They'll burn you alive.
03:10Before I could react, she grabbed a rough cloth off the table.
03:13She scooped both snakes up and started bundling them tight.
03:16She was going to dump them on the mountain.
03:19Feed them to the wolves.
03:20The babies had no idea.
03:21One of them stretched, yawned.
03:24And then, those big golden brown eyes locked on mine.
03:28Just looking at me, and something inside me broke.
03:31Mum, stop!
03:32I carried them for nine months.
03:34I felt them move inside me.
03:36They are mine, and I am not letting you throw my babies to the wolves.
03:40Willa, if anyone sees them...
03:43Then no one sees them.
03:44We tell the village I had a stillbirth.
03:46We already buried it.
03:47These two?
03:48Pets.
03:49The dragon I found in the garden.
03:51Nobody has to know.
03:52And just like that, they stayed.
03:54I figured this was my life now.
03:56Disgraced country girl.
03:57Single mom.
03:58Two skelly sons on the pillow.
04:00I was done with men.
04:02Tristan broke my heart.
04:03I was fine.
04:04Never seeing him again.
04:06I'd raise these little weirdos in the woods.
04:09Forever.
04:10That was the plan.
04:11Until day seven.
04:12I opened my door.
04:13And the captain, stepping forward, bowing deep.
04:16By order of his majesty, we are here to escort Lady Willa to the palace.
04:20You are to be crowned queen.
04:22His majesty mentioned you were heavily pregnant when you departed.
04:25So, where is the royal heir?
04:26I instinctively glanced back at the house.
04:29But my mum answered before I could.
04:31Seven days ago, Willa delivered a stillborn.
04:34We've already handled it.
04:37She pulled me inside.
04:39Lowered her voice.
04:40Willa, listen to me.
04:41The Cap'n Kingdom is obsessed with witch hunts.
04:44If anyone finds out you gave birth to two creatures,
04:48they'll burn you.
04:49The stake is a sacrifice.
04:51You go to the palace.
04:52Be the queen.
04:54These two?
04:54I'll keep them here.
04:56I'll take care of them.
04:58If I had known that man was the king of the Cap'n Kingdom,
05:01I never would have been reckless enough to flirt with him.
05:03Not in a million years.
05:05But a royal command isn't a request.
05:07Whether I wanted it or not, I was going to that palace.
05:10I wiped my tears, said goodbye to my two skilly babies,
05:13and climbed into the carriage.
05:16Two weeks of bumpy roads later, we finally reached the palace.
05:24A maid led me to a guest chamber.
05:26She said the king would be with me shortly.
05:28The room was stunning.
05:29Gold-trimmed ceilings, jade ornaments, marble floors.
05:33A country girl like me had never seen wealth like this,
05:36and I didn't care about any of it.
05:38The longer I'd been away from home, the more I missed those two baby dragons.
05:42I had no idea if they were okay.
05:43Maybe I was missing them too much.
05:45Because suddenly, I was hallucinating.
05:47I saw two little dragons scaling the palace walls, slipping through my window.
05:52Right in front of me, until they opened their mouths.
05:56Mommy, we finally found you.
05:58Mommy, why did you leave me and Big Brother behind?
06:01My whole body went numb.
06:03I hit the floor.
06:04I stared at them, my voice shaking.
06:06You too?
06:07Are you dragons, demon?
06:09When I was little, I used to hear storytellers talk about this.
06:13Animals that cultivated their spiritual power could borrow a pregnant woman's womb.
06:18They'd be reborn, but as humans.
06:20Looking at these two, clearly the cultivation didn't quite stick.
06:23That's why they came out of me, still in snake form.
06:26The two of them slithered up to me, nuzzling against my dress, like puppies.
06:30We're not snake demons, mommy.
06:32We're dragons.
06:34We're your baby.
06:35Mommy, I'm so hungry.
06:37We followed your scent for days.
06:39We crawled the whole way.
06:41We don't have any strength left.
06:43And just like that, they collapsed against my side.
06:47From Rowan Village to this palace was hundreds of miles.
06:49These two weren't even a month old, and they'd crawled the entire way, day and night, without stopping.
06:55I figured they were just delirious from exhaustion.
06:57Babies babbling nonsense.
06:58Two little snakes.
07:00Dragons.
07:00Yeah, right.
07:01My heart broke for them.
07:02I scooped both of them into my arms, and called for a maid.
07:06Fresh goat's milk.
07:07Now.
07:09They drank.
07:09Till their little bellies were round, then curled up in my lap and fell into a deep sleep.
07:14I sat there, gently stroking their scales, my mind spinning.
07:17What the hell am I supposed to do now, if I just told the king the truth?
07:21These snakes are our sons.
07:22He'd probably drag me out and behead me on the spot.
07:53Not everyone has my tolerance for the weird.
07:54Tristan was in full royal regala.
07:56Gold crown, velvet brobes, that untouchable era of power.
08:00Combined with that gorgeous face, he was even more devastating than I remembered.
08:04That face was the whole reason I got into this mess.
08:07One look at him bleeding on the side of the road, and I ignored my mum completely.
08:11I have to save him.
08:12Look at him.
08:14Yeah, lesson learned.
08:15Tristan reached down and lifted me to my feet, a teasing smile playing on his lips.
08:20Such formality.
08:21This isn't like you, Willa.
08:22I kept my eyes down, my voice small.
08:25I didn't know you were the king before.
08:26I was out of line.
08:28He squeezed my hand.
08:29King or not, I'm still your husband.
08:31I prefer the lively, mouthed Willa I fell for.
08:34Yeah, sure.
08:35Whatever you say.
08:36But I'm not that girl anymore.
08:38Not when one wrong word from a king means rivers of blood.
08:40That's not a joke.
08:41Tristan's gaze dropped to my stomach.
08:43His eyes filled with grief.
08:45I heard about the baby.
08:46It was my fault.
08:47If I had brought you here sooner, maybe things would have been different.
08:50The second the words left his mouth, a muffled cry came from the bed.
08:57Tristan's head snapped toward the sound.
08:58What was that?
09:00It's, it's, it's cats.
09:01I got bored on the road, so I, I picked up two cats to keep me company.
09:05He started walking towards the bed.
09:07I didn't know you liked cats.
09:09I remember you hating cats.
09:10What kind of cats could win you over?
09:12Let me see them.
09:13I lunged in front of him, arms out.
09:15No!
09:16Why not?
09:17Unless what's under there isn't a cat.
09:19It is!
09:20It's cats!
09:23It's just, these two are skittish.
09:27They might scratch your majesty.
09:30Tristan laughed and pulled me into his arms.
09:32Don't worry.
09:33There's no wound I haven't survived.
09:34What harm could two little kittens possibly do?
09:37His hand reached for the blanket.
09:39His fingers gripped the edge.
09:40I was this close to confessing everything.
09:43Then suddenly, a maid rushed in.
09:45Your majesty!
09:46Miss Lancaster has collapsed!
09:48She's calling out for you!
09:49Tristan's hand froze.
09:51Then he pulled away.
09:52I need to go check on Rosie.
09:53I'll come back to you later.
09:55I watched him walk out the door.
09:56Part of me exhaled, crisis averted.
09:58But another part of me felt a bitter little sting I couldn't explain.
10:02Who's Rosie?
10:03Is she that important to him?
10:05I didn't have to wait long for an answer.
10:06The next day, I was in my chamber, feeding the two little snakes.
10:10The doors burst open.
10:11Rosie sailed in, dripping in silk.
10:13A trail of maids behind her.
10:15She looked me up and down, like I was dirt on her shoe.
10:18So you're the country girl who saved his majesty.
10:21I met her eyes.
10:22Calm.
10:22Steady.
10:23That would be me.
10:24She stepped closer.
10:25Her voice dropped to a warning.
10:27I grew up with his majesty.
10:28I know him better than anyone.
10:30He only brought you here to repay a debt.
10:33That's all.
10:33If you dare set your sights on a position that isn't yours, you'll pay the price.
10:39I let a small smile tug at my lips.
10:42If Miss Lacaffer truly has that kind of pull, go convince his majesty to take it back.
10:48Threatening me here is a waste of breath.
10:50The queen's seat was offered to me by the king himself.
10:53His favor is law.
10:55Who am I to refuse?
10:56Rosie's face went red.
10:58Her hands trembled with rage.
10:59You sharp-tongued little peasant.
11:02How dare you use the king against me?
11:05You just wait.
11:07I will personally make sure.
11:09He throws you out of this palace!
11:11She stormed out, her maids scurrying after her.
11:15I didn't take Rosie's threats seriously.
11:17But for the first time since I arrived, I started thinking about leaving the palace.
11:22I knew Tristan had feelings for me.
11:24He wouldn't have sent for me all the way from Robon Village or offered me a crown if he didn't.
11:29But I also knew how kings worked.
11:30I was the girl from the woods who saved his life.
11:35But he had a whole empire to rule.
11:38And a palace full of beautiful women.
11:40Once the spark fades, I'd be just another forgotten face in a golden cage, locked away until the day I
11:46died.
11:46And then there were the baby.
11:48They were a ticking time bomb.
11:51They were getting bigger every day, and their appetites were growing even faster.
11:55If anyone ever heard them talk, they'd be slaughtered.
11:59I had to choose.
12:01My freedom and their lives over a man who might stop loving me by next year.
12:06I decided to run.
12:07Three days later, I waited until Tristan was supposedly out of the palace on business.
12:12I piled up the silk curtains, knocked over a candle, and watched the flames take hold.
12:21In the chaos of the fire, we managed to scale the outer palace wall.
12:26I stood in the shadows, looking back at the smoke rising into the night sky.
12:32Goodbye, Tristan.
12:34It hurt more than I wanted to admit, but I had to be strong.
12:37The two little snakes rubbed against my ankles, their golden eyes glowing in the dark.
12:42Mom, come on.
12:44Let's just go.
12:46I knelt down and scooped them both into my arms.
12:52All right.
12:53Let's go.
12:55Somewhere far away, where we can just be us.
12:58I turned around to head for the woods, and my heart stopped.
13:01Tristan was standing there.
13:02He wasn't away on business.
13:04He was right in front of me, backed by a dozen armed guards with torches.
13:08He didn't look angry.
13:09He looked cold.
13:11He stared at me.
13:12Then his eyes dropped to the two snakes I was clutching to my chest.
13:17He started walking.
13:18Willa.
13:19Walking towards me.
13:20Don't you think you owe me an explanation?
13:22I hugged my babies as tight as I could, backing away.
13:26If I told you that these are your children, would you even believe me?
13:33Tristan's pupils blew wide.
13:34He stared at the two black creatures in my arms, his knuckles turning white as he gripped
13:39the hilt of his sword.
13:40His throat moved as he struggled to find his voice.
13:42How is that even possible?
13:43Rosie didn't miss a beat.
13:45She jumped forward, pointing a trembling finger at me.
13:49You shameless little peasant!
13:52How dare you try to smear the king's name like that?
13:56His majesty is the ruler of this realm.
13:59There is no way on earth he is the father of these.
14:03These animals!
14:05Your majesty, look at them!
14:07They're demons.
14:08She's obviously practicing, practicing dark magic.
14:12For the safety of the entire kingdom, you have to act!
14:16Kill the witch and those monsters before they curse us all!
14:20The two little snakes felt her hatred.
14:23They bared their tiny fangs, hissing and snapping at her.
14:28Evil woman, you hurt our mom!
14:31And we'll kill you!
14:34Rosie scrambled back, nearly tripping.
14:37I slammed my hand over their mouths.
14:40Stop!
14:41You can't talk in front of them!
14:44Even Tristan looked stunned for a second.
14:47You heard them, Tristan!
14:49They talk!
14:50They're unholy!
14:51Kill them now!
14:53Do your duty!
14:55Tristan drew his sword.
14:57The cold steel glinted dangerously in the torchlight
15:00as he pointed the tip right at my babies.
15:03Willa, I know you.
15:06You're a good person.
15:08These creatures must have put a spell on you.
15:10They're using you.
15:11They're clouding your mind.
15:13He took a step closer.
15:15The edge of the blade inches from my chest.
15:17Give them to me.
15:19Hand them over.
15:21Right now.
15:22And I'll forgive everything.
15:24I'll pretend this never happened.
15:26I shook my head.
15:27No, Tristan.
15:29I'm their mother.
15:30I'm spoting at their mother.
15:31I will never let you touch them.
15:34Not as long as I'm breathing.
15:36You've lost your mind.
15:37He didn't wait for another word.
15:39My babies didn't hesitate either.
15:40They flew out of my arms.
15:42Small black blurs through the air.
15:44Trying to bite him.
15:45But Tristan was a seasoned warrior.
15:47He was too fast.
15:48Too strong.
15:50He kicked one aside.
15:52Then the other.
15:52Sending them skidding across the dirt like stones.
15:55He didn't give them a chance to recover.
15:57He raised his sword high over his head.
15:59Ready to bring it down for the kill.
16:01I didn't think.
16:02I just threw my body over them.
16:04Shielding them with my own back.
16:06Tristan saw me.
16:07Pulled his strike at the last second.
16:09But the tip of his sword still tore through my dress.
16:11He looked at me.
16:12Furious and shaken all at once.
16:14Willa.
16:15Have you lost your mind?
16:17You're going to die for these animals?
16:20I looked at him.
16:21Tears streaming down my face.
16:23I can't explain why they look like this, Tristan.
16:25I don't know why.
16:26But they came from me.
16:28They are my flesh and blood.
16:29And they are yours.
16:32If you want them dead, you'll have to step over my body first.
16:36The standoff held for a long moment.
16:38Then Tithra threw the sword to the ground.
16:40He turned to his guards.
16:41Take the queen back to the palace.
16:43Do not harm her or those two creatures.
16:45Not a scratch.
16:46And just like that, I was hauled back to the palace.
16:50I reached down and gently rubbed the little bellies of my two snakes.
16:53Are you okay?
16:55Does anything hurt?
16:56Are your tummies sore?
16:58Both of them nuzzled their cheeks against my palm.
17:00Mummy's hand is so warm.
17:02We're not hurt at all.
17:03Mummy, when we grow up, we're going to bite every bad person who ever hurt you.
17:09No!
17:10You may not be human.
17:12But you cannot just hurt people.
17:14And the man who tried to hurt you today, he's your father.
17:17Both of them blinked up at me, those big golden brown eyes confused.
17:22He wanted to kill us.
17:23We don't want a daddy like that.
17:25We just want you, mummy.
17:27Only you.
17:28I laughed softly and stroked their heads.
17:29All right, all right.
17:31Just mummy.
17:31Once I'd lulled them both to sleep, I looked out the window.
17:38Armed guards everywhere, stationed around the entire chamber.
17:42My heart sank.
17:43What is Tristan going to do with us?
17:47This palace was never going to be safe.
17:50I could protect them for now.
17:52But not forever.
17:55Three days passed.
17:57The babies and I locked away.
17:58Then, on the third day, Tristan finally sent for us.
18:02I scooped both little cords into my arms and followed the guards to the royal study.
18:09The moment I stepped through the door, I saw my mother on her knees.
18:15The second my mum saw me, she started laying into me.
18:20Willa, what on earth did you do?
18:22Do you have any idea what it's like for a woman my age to be hauled away by guards and
18:28forced onto a horse?
18:29I thought I was going to die on the road.
18:31And her voice died in her throat.
18:33She stared at the two snakes I was holding.
18:37How... how are they here?
18:39They vanished the day after you left for the palace.
18:44I thought they'd run off into the woods.
18:46I looked for them for days.
18:49But I never imagined they'd find their way to...
18:51Wait.
18:53His Majesty brought me here.
18:56Because of them?
18:57I let out a soft sigh and nodded.
19:00Tristan sat on his throne.
19:01That untouchable aura back in full motion.
19:04He looked down at my mother.
19:05The truth.
19:07My mother dropped to her knees.
19:08And she told him everything.
19:11The birth.
19:12The snakes.
19:13The wings.
19:14All of it.
19:16Tristan exploded.
19:18What the punishment is for lying to your king.
19:22My mother trembled head to toe.
19:26I wouldn't dare.
19:28Every word I spoke is the truth.
19:30His expression.
19:32Complicated.
19:35I dropped to my knees in front of him.
19:37Your Majesty.
19:38I know this is impossible to believe.
19:40But it's the truth.
19:41From this day on, I'll take them as far from you as possible.
19:45You will never see us again.
19:47The court would never accept it.
19:49The people would never accept it.
19:50A king naming two snakes as his sons.
19:54Impossible.
19:55That was the only way out.
19:56But Tristan refused.
19:59Willa.
20:00You said you want to take them and disappear.
20:03Far away from me.
20:05Did you ever stop to think about how I feel?
20:08Is the throne of my entire kingdom, queen of the Capox kingdom, not enough to make you stay?
20:14I shook my head.
20:15I grew up in the countryside.
20:16If you really made me queen, I'd be the laughingstock of the entire kingdom.
20:21Anyone who laughs, I take their head.
20:23I want a marriage, not a competition.
20:28You'll have a harem of women.
20:30A palace full of mistresses.
20:32I'm not interested in fighting for a fraction of your heart.
20:35What if I gave them all up?
20:36What if I promised never another woman?
20:39Only you.
20:40For the rest of my life.
20:41I have to admit it.
20:43His words moved me.
20:44The most powerful, most beautiful man in the kingdom.
20:47Telling me I was his beloved.
20:49Telling me I'd be the only one.
20:50There isn't a woman in this world who wouldn't melt at those words.
20:54But after the rush came clarity.
20:57Because everything he was offering, he could take back at any moment.
21:01When I loved him most, he left a single note on my pillow and disappeared.
21:07I waited.
21:08Three months pregnant.
21:10Day after day.
21:12Holding that letter.
21:15I'm not doing it again.
21:17I can't give him my whole heart twice.
21:20That endless waiting.
21:21That torture.
21:23I'm done with it.
21:25I pressed my forehead to the floor.
21:28Your Majesty, I do not wish to be trapped behind the walls of this palace.
21:33Please, let me go.
21:35Tristan wanted me to stay.
21:37I wanted to leave.
21:38Neither of us would back down.
21:40Not an inch.
21:41In the end, Tristan gave me seven days to reconsider.
21:44If after seven days I still chose to leave, he'd let me and my two little snakes go free.
21:52For the next seven days, my mum stayed with me in the palace.
21:55She spent half her time just staring at the gold-leafed walls and the emerald-encrusted vases.
22:01Willa, are you really going to walk away from all of this?
22:05For those two little things?
22:08If you didn't, you wouldn't have kept the pregnancy.
22:11When you thought he'd abandoned you.
22:15The king loves you.
22:17I can see it in his eyes.
22:19And I know you still love him too.
22:21If it's them you're worried about, leave them with me.
22:25I'll take them far away and raise them in secret.
22:28You stay here.
22:29Be the queen.
22:30Live the life you deserve.
22:32I looked at my mother and shook my head.
22:34Mum, he's a king.
22:35He owns an entire country.
22:37He'll never be the man who lived in our cottage again.
22:39I'd rather be free in the woods.
22:41Fine.
22:42Whatever you decide, I'm with you.
22:46I leaned into her, resting my head on her shoulder.
22:49Thanks, Mum.
22:52I don't know what I'd do without you.
22:56The seven days flew by.
22:58Tristan saw that I wasn't going to change my mind.
23:00And finally, he gave in.
23:06He walked us to the palace gates.
23:08It's himself.
23:09His eyes lingering on me with a look of pure heartbreak.
23:13Willa, if you ever change your mind,
23:15the gates of this kingdom will always be open to you.
23:19I bowed one last time,
23:21ready to walk away with my mother and my babies.
23:24I thought we were finally free.
23:25But before I could take a single step,
23:28a flood of soldiers came charging out,
23:30surrounding us on all sides,
23:32and a line of senior court officials on horseback.
23:37Tristan's face went white with fury.
23:40What the hell is this?
23:41Who gave you permission to move my troops?
23:43This is treason.
23:45The council members scrambled off their horses
23:47and dropped to their knees.
23:48Forgive us, your majesty,
23:49but we cannot let a threat like this
23:53just walk out of our gates.
23:54That woman and the creatures in her arms
23:56are unholy.
23:58For the peace of the kingdom,
24:00for the safety of every man,
24:03woman, and child,
24:05we beg you,
24:07execute the witch.
24:08Death to the witch, kill the mother.
24:11Tristan drew his sword,
24:12the metal singing as it left the scabble.
24:15Willa is not a witch!
24:17If any of you say that word again,
24:19I'll take your head myself.
24:21Rosie didn't back down.
24:23She looked at Tristan,
24:25tears welling in her eyes.
24:27Tristan, please!
24:28Look at her!
24:30Those things talk!
24:31They speak like humans,
24:33but they have scales and fangs!
24:34If that isn't black magic,
24:36then what is?
24:37I clutched my babies tighter,
24:39my heart pounding against my ribs.
24:42I looked Rosie right in the eye.
24:44You call me a witch?
24:45Tell me,
24:46what have I actually done?
24:48Have I hurt anyone?
24:50Have I brought a plague?
24:53I'm just a mother trying to protect my children!
24:56Rosie sneered,
24:58her mask slipping.
25:00Maybe they haven't hurt anyone yet
25:02because they're still small,
25:03but what happens when they grow up?
25:05They'll be monsters.
25:07Burn our cities and eat our people!
25:10We have to end this now!
25:12Before it's too late!
25:14My babies felt the danger closing in.
25:17They popped their heads
25:19out from under my arms,
25:21their golden eyes glowing with a terrifying light.
25:24You're a bad lady!
25:26We aren't monsters!
25:27Leave us alone!
25:29Good adieu!
25:31Stroud!
25:32NAD!
25:33And leave us to Toyinahal!
25:35Did you hear that?
25:36They're talking again!
25:37The demons are speaking!
25:39The minister's eyes locked onto my arms.
25:42Pure terror on every face.
25:44Tristan's jaw clenched.
25:46His eyes darted between me and the minister's.
25:48They're just babies.
25:50Do you really need to blow this out of proportion?
25:52The minister's buzzed with panic.
25:54A beast speaks in human tongue?
25:56This is a dark omen!
25:58It's a warning from the heavens themselves!
26:02The ancient texts say it clearly.
26:06When the heavens send such a sign,
26:08the creature must be killed.
26:10Its blood must be offered up
26:12to calm the god's wrath.
26:14The witch and the monsters
26:15must be executed immediately,
26:18hung from the city walls,
26:20drained of every drop of blood.
26:22But Tim Sills supply
26:25to beg the heavens for forgiveness.
26:28Tristan's face turned darker by the second,
26:30rage burning behind his eyes.
26:32But the pressure from his court
26:34was crushing him.
26:35His knuckles went bone white.
26:37My mother dropped to her knees,
26:39begging.
26:40Willa isn't a witch!
26:41She's my daughter!
26:43If you need a blood sacrifice,
26:45take me!
26:46Just spare her life!
26:47I reached down
26:48and pulled her back up.
26:50Mum,
26:51don't beg them.
26:53The world is full of strange things.
26:55You don't understand it,
26:57so you fear it.
26:58You call it a dark omen?
27:00That's absurd.
27:01I'm standing right here.
27:03If you want my life,
27:05come and take it.
27:07One of them gave the order immediately.
27:09Move!
27:10Execute the monsters!
27:11Now!
27:12Soldiers raised their swords,
27:14charged at me.
27:15In a flash!
27:15Tristan had his blade
27:17pressed against the throat
27:18of the general who gave the order.
27:20Are you committing treason?
27:21Stand down.
27:23I am still your king.
27:24The soldiers froze,
27:26caught between two commands.
27:28The general didn't flinch,
27:30stared Tristan down.
27:31Your majesty,
27:33even if you kill me here today,
27:35for the safety of the Capite kingdom,
27:37the monsters must die.
27:39Then,
27:39right in front of everyone,
27:41the two little snakes in my arms
27:43jumped to the ground.
27:44Move!
27:45And in plain sight,
27:47of the entire court,
27:49they transformed
27:50into two perfect,
27:53porcelain-skinned children.
27:55Everyone was stunned.
27:57Tristan's eyes widened so hard
27:59it looked like he forgot how to breathe.
28:01I'd always thought they were two boys.
28:03But they weren't.
28:05One was a boy.
28:06One was a girl.
28:07I dropped into a crouch
28:08and stared at them in shock.
28:10You two?
28:11Did you actually turn human?
28:12My little snakes, please.
28:14Do some magic.
28:15Get me and grandma out of here.
28:16If we stay any longer,
28:17we're dead.
28:18The two little kids
28:19wrapped themselves around my legs.
28:21Mom,
28:22we don't know any magic.
28:24Mom,
28:25we're your children.
28:26I let out a quiet sigh.
28:28So first you spoke like humans.
28:30Then you turned into humans
28:31in front of everyone.
28:32Made the biggest possible scene.
28:35Got the whole court convinced
28:36we were monsters.
28:38And after all that,
28:39you two can't do anything?
28:41Then some of the older ministers
28:42started pointing at the little boy.
28:45Look at him.
28:46He looks exactly like
28:47His Majesty did as a child.
28:49He really does.
28:51It's uncanny.
28:53Could they actually be
28:54the king's children?
28:55Bit by bit,
28:56the mood in the room
28:57started to shift.
28:58Then Rosie snapped.
29:00Have you all lost your minds?
29:02They're monsters.
29:04Of course they can change
29:05how they look.
29:06He made himself resemble
29:08the king on purpose.
29:09If we hadn't exposed this today,
29:11one of these creatures
29:13could have stolen the throne.
29:16And then the whole
29:18Capac kingdom
29:19would have fallen
29:20because of us.
29:21The second she said that,
29:22the court seemed to wake back up.
29:25The ministers turned to Tristan
29:26one after another.
29:28Your Majesty,
29:29you cannot hesitate any longer.
29:31These creatures
29:31must be killed at once.
29:33I pulled my children
29:34tight against me
29:35and looked at Tristan.
29:36I don't even know
29:37how to explain
29:38what you're seeing.
29:39But Tristan,
29:40please believe me.
29:41They really are your children.
29:44They are not monsters.
29:46Tristan walked toward us
29:47and looked down
29:47at the two beautiful
29:48little children.
29:50Something in his expression
29:51softened,
29:52like even he
29:53couldn't understand why.
29:54He started to reach out
29:55to touch them,
29:56but both children
29:57pulled back,
29:58watching him warily.
30:00Willa,
30:00I believe you.
30:03As long as I'm here today,
30:05no one will harm them.
30:06Then Tristan drew his sword
30:08across his body
30:08and stepped in front of
30:10me and the children.
30:12At once,
30:13he stood locked in a standoff
30:15against the entire court.
30:16They were all claiming
30:18to destroy monsters
30:18and protect the Kapos kingdom,
30:20not stage a rebellion,
30:21so no one actually dared
30:22lay a hand on Tristan.
30:23Then suddenly,
30:24someone shouted from outside.
30:26His majesty,
30:26the former king has arrived!
30:27Gifting the throne to Tristan,
30:29his father had left the capital
30:30and gone to a mountain abbey
30:32to live in seclusion.
30:33Some of the ministers
30:34had clearly guessed
30:35Tristan would protect
30:36the so-called witch today
30:37and that the whole court
30:38would end up deadlocked.
30:39So they'd already sent word
30:40to the abbey
30:41and summoned the former king back
30:42to settle it.
30:44An old man in a black monastic robe
30:45stepped down from the carriage,
30:47then slowly walked over
30:48to my children.
30:49He reached out
30:49and gently touched their faces,
30:51his expression full of kindness.
30:53Then he turned to the court
30:53and said,
30:54These two children
30:55are indeed of the royal bloodline.
30:57The ministers looked so shocked.
30:59Your majesty,
30:59those children are monsters.
31:00They transformed
31:01right in front of all of us.
31:02We saw it with our own eyes.
31:03How could they possibly
31:04be royal blood?
31:05Rosie suddenly pointed
31:06at my children.
31:06I know what this is.
31:08Their magic must be
31:08clouding people's minds.
31:10That's why everyone
31:10is speaking for them.
31:11The first thing
31:12we have to do
31:13is kill her.
31:14She snatched a sword
31:14from one of the guards.
31:15Lunged straight at us.
31:16But one of the former king's guards
31:18mounted the blade aside
31:19and dropped her
31:19with a brutal kick.
31:21With both his majesty
31:22and the former king
31:23standing here,
31:23how dare you act out like this?
31:25The former king
31:25didn't even spare her a glance.
31:27He simply looked
31:28at the ministers and said,
31:29Five hundred years ago,
31:30the founder of the capital line
31:31was part dragon.
31:32Back then,
31:33the world was in chaos.
31:34Disasters struck again and again
31:35and the people
31:36were barely surviving.
31:37Because he carried dragon blood,
31:39our ancestor was stronger
31:40and swifter than ordinary men.
31:41He also had a natural
31:42instinct for danger.
31:43Time after time,
31:44he led people away
31:45from disaster
31:45before it struck.
31:46And over the years,
31:47capable men
31:48gathered around him.
31:49That was how
31:49the kapat kingdom
31:50was founded.
31:51Later,
31:52our ancestor
31:52married a common-born woman.
31:54The dragon blood
31:54thinned out
31:55until it became
31:56no different
31:56from any other royal line.
31:58These two children
31:58are simply
31:59a rare return
32:00of that blood.
32:01The old king needed proof.
32:03He produced
32:03the royal scrolls,
32:04the sacred legacy
32:05of the kapat line.
32:06There was a prophecy
32:07written in them.
32:08It said that
32:08when the dragon blood
32:09vanished completely,
32:10the kapat kingdom
32:11would fall.
32:12When I was king,
32:12I brought many fertile women
32:14into the palace.
32:15I hoped one of them
32:16would bear a child
32:16with dragon blood.
32:17But of all my children,
32:18only Tristan survived
32:19to adulthood.
32:20And even he showed
32:21no sign
32:22of the blood at all.
32:24I thought our family's
32:24fortune had already run out.
32:25I didn't want Tristan
32:26trapped by that burden
32:27the way I was.
32:28So I never told him
32:29any of this.
32:30Then the former king
32:31looked at my children,
32:32his eyes shining with hope.
32:33Never did I dream
32:34Tristan would spire
32:34two heirs of such
32:36pure blood.
32:37With them,
32:37the kapar kingdom
32:38will flourish for an age.
32:40Every question
32:40Tristan had been carrying
32:41seemed to break apart
32:42all at once.
32:43What replaced it
32:44was pure shock
32:45and excitement.
32:46For me,
32:46it was the same.
32:47That was the moment
32:47I truly understood it.
32:49My children were never
32:49just little black snakes.
32:50They were dragons.
32:51So dragons are real.
32:53I always thought
32:54that was just a story
32:55about our ancestors.
32:56Then these two little royals
32:57aren't monsters at all.
32:59They're a blessing
32:59on the kingdom.
33:00Just look at them.
33:01So young
33:01and already so noble.
33:02And in the end,
33:03they had only acted
33:04out of loyalty to the kingdom.
33:05So Tristan couldn't
33:06punish them too harshly.
33:07He docked each of them
33:07half a year's pay.
33:08Then my children
33:08and I returned to the palace.
33:10But this time,
33:10we weren't prisoners.
33:11We belonged there.
33:12Tristan couldn't stop
33:13staring at his children.
33:14He was completely smitten
33:15and stepped forward
33:16trying to pick them up.
33:17But the two little ones
33:18still remembered
33:19that he had kicked
33:20each of them before.
33:21So they both dove
33:23straight into my arms.
33:24Father is a mean man.
33:25He kicked us.
33:26We don't like him.
33:27Mom, make him leave.
33:28Tristan looked at me
33:29like a man
33:30begging for his life.
33:31Willa.
33:31I knelt down and capped
33:32the kids' chubby faces,
33:34keeping my voice
33:34soft and gentle.
33:35Hey, listen to me.
33:36Dad didn't mean to hurt you.
33:37He didn't realize
33:37you were special
33:38little black dragons.
33:39He was just scared
33:40because he didn't understand.
33:41I gave them a small smile.
33:42But you two are the smartest,
33:43bravest kids I know.
33:44Can you find it in your hearts
33:45to forgive him?
33:46Just this once?
33:47The two little ones
33:47looked at me,
33:48then at Tristan.
33:49They weren't stupid.
33:50They remembered
33:50how Tristan had stood
33:51in front of them
33:52with his sword drawn
33:53against the entire army.
33:54They reached out
33:55their tiny hands,
33:55looking very serious.
33:56Fine, but you have to be
33:58as nice to us as mom is.
33:59No more hitting!
34:00Tristan let out a breath
34:01he'd been holding
34:02for a lifetime.
34:03He scooped them both up
34:04into a massive hug,
34:05kissing their foreheads
34:05over and over.
34:07I promise.
34:08He whispered,
34:08his eyes wet.
34:09He looked over at me,
34:10his gaze full of a raw,
34:11deep heat.
34:12Willa.
34:12I felt my face heat up.
34:13You and these children
34:14are all I'll ever need.
34:15But I wasn't going
34:15to let him off that easy.
34:16Don't start with
34:17the smooth talk, Tristan.
34:18I haven't forgotten
34:19how you ran off
34:19to check on Rosie
34:20and left me standing there.
34:21Willa, I swear,
34:22it's not what you think.
34:23Rosie took a blow
34:24meant for me years ago.
34:25When she fainted,
34:25I felt like I owed
34:26it to her to check.
34:27He continued to explain
34:27and I listened.
34:28I had no idea
34:29you'd think I was choosing her.
34:30He stepped closer,
34:30his voice dropping
34:31to a low, steady vow.
34:32I've already cleared
34:33out the royal court.
34:34There are no other
34:35women here.
34:35There never will be.
34:36I looked into his eyes.
34:37It's only ever been you.
34:38The same eyes
34:38I'd fallen for
34:39back in that tiny cottage.
34:40I didn't know
34:41how long a king's heart
34:42could stay true.
34:43Three months later,
34:44the entire kingdom
34:44gathered for the most
34:45lavish coronation in history.
34:47I was crowned queen
34:48and for the first time
34:49in centuries,
34:49the people cheered
34:50for their dragon princess.
34:51The years flew by
34:52like a dream.
34:53For 15 years,
34:54Tristan kept
34:55every single promise
34:56he made.
34:56Our love became
34:57a legend.
34:57The king and queen
34:58who only had eyes
34:59for each other.
35:00When Tristan turned 50,
35:01he decided he'd
35:01had enough of the crown.
35:02He abcated the throne,
35:03handing the heavy gold
35:04circle to our son.
35:05He knew I hated
35:06the strifling life
35:07of the palace,
35:07so he took me away.
35:08We spent the next few years
35:09traveling,
35:10seeing every mountain,
35:11forest,
35:12and hidden valley
35:12in the kingdom.
35:13We were finally just
35:14Willa and Tristan again.
35:16Our children grew up
35:17into everything
35:17we hoped they'd be.
35:18Arthur took the throne
35:19with a steady hand,
35:20a king who ruled
35:21with both strength
35:22and heart.
35:23And our daughter,
35:24Ella,
35:24the princess of the dragon soul,
35:25was as brave
35:26and sharp as a blade.
35:27We had just returned
35:27to the palace for a visit,
35:28expecting a quiet
35:29family dinner.
35:30But as we walked
35:30toward the great hall,
35:31we felt the shift
35:32in the air.
35:33The heavy doors
35:33were wide open.
35:34Inside,
35:34the entire high council
35:35was gathered,
35:36their faces pale and grim.
35:37Arthur was standing
35:38at the head of the room,
35:38his jaw tight.
35:39Something was very,
35:40very wrong.
36:01丢水里吧.
36:02就说,失足落水,
36:05I don't want to come back.
