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