AmusantTranscription
00:00Ma soeur et moi avons trouvé les deux morceaux dans les Norden Wastelands.
00:04Elle a pris le noir, Wesley.
00:05C'est gentil et caring.
00:07Je suis pris le noir, Calus.
00:09C'est comme un arbre.
00:11Mais je n'ai pas vouloir.
00:12J'ai passé 10 ans à la nourriture de lui, mais il n'y a jamais vécu à moi.
00:18Juste quand je suis allé à partir, il a changé de sa tête.
00:22On se bond.
00:23Je pensais que j'ai finalement perdu son cœur.
00:26Mais le jour avant notre bondage, je l'ai appris la vérité.
00:29Il only wanted to bond with me to stay close to my sister.
00:32Après il devient un dragon, il va me tuer et me marrer Eliza.
00:37C'est quand j'ai réalisé que j'étais juste une touche à lui.
00:39Les deux morceaux que nous trouvons mourir ont tous fallé pour ma sister.
00:43Mais c'est bon.
00:44Maintenant que je sais la vérité, j'ai mon propre plan.
00:47Je m'ai appris à la maison.
00:50Calus est revenu tard.
00:51Nous sommes rentrés à l'autre.
00:52Il ne sait pas que je sais tout.
00:54Il s'est repris.
00:55Ne t'en toucher.
00:56La même réaction à l'heure quand j'ai essayé de toucher ses tails.
01:00Je pensais qu'il était juste born cold.
01:02Mais non, il s'est dégusté par moi.
01:05Je me suis dégusté.
01:05J'ai fait un petit laugh.
01:06Mes yeux brûlent.
01:08J'ai été dégusté.
01:09J'ai été dégusté par des dégustés.
01:10Calus turned et j'ai passé.
01:13Annoyed.
01:14Il ne se voit pas à moi une fois.
01:15Le seul moment où il s'est dégusté par moi,
01:17c'est quand je lui donner mon sang de magique.
01:19Je pensais sur le dégusté par nos enfants.
01:23Chaque fois, j'ai pris des dégustés.
01:26J'espère qu'il s'est dégusté par moi.
01:29Carus, tu vas s'est dégusté par moi ?
01:31Non.
01:32Tout le monde apprend ses béants.
01:34Ils m'ont roulent si vous ne viendrez.
01:35Puis on a nouveau.
01:36Je ne t'ai pas d'accord.
01:38Donc, pour 10 jours, je suis allé.
01:40Les béants des béants sont doux.
01:42Ils attackent tout seul.
01:43Je suis toujours venu en doux.
01:46Une fois, j'ai eu rentré dans un Elisa et Wesley.
01:48Wesley a la même face que Calus.
01:50Mais sauté le sourire.
01:51Il s'est dégusté par moi.
01:54Elisa, les mains sont doux.
01:55Je me faire le hântage de maintenant.
01:57Elle m'a dit le dégusté par le dégusté.
01:59Elle s'est dégusté par ses tailles.
02:01Il s'est dégusté par ses tailles.
02:02L'est dégusté par ses tailles.
02:05Comment ça.
02:06Je m'enviens mes frères.
02:07Elle avait un vrai cœur.
02:09Pour 3 jours, je n'ai pas d'eau ou d'eau.
02:11Je s'est juste dans ma maison.
02:13Le seul place où je me suis resté.
02:15Day turned à night.
02:16Then day again.
02:17I was empty, but not hungry.
02:19My parents only saw Elisa.
02:21No one noticed I'd disappeared.
02:22Not even Calus, who lived with me.
02:24Or maybe he just didn't care.
02:25On the third morning, Calus left.
02:27I walked through every room.
02:29Every corner held our memories.
02:3010 whole years.
02:32He was like an accident in my life.
02:34I thought I could melt ice.
02:35But he was a knot I couldn't undo.
02:38My stomach twisted in pain.
02:40I packed up everything I owned.
02:42I decided to leave.
02:43For 10 years, my only goal was him.
02:45Bond with Calus.
02:47Grow together.
02:47But that dream was dead now.
02:49I remembered bringing him home.
02:51He was so weak.
02:52Almost dead.
02:53His worm blood was special.
02:54Normal herbs and magic stones did nothing for him.
02:57I had no money.
02:58No status.
02:59So I fed him my own magic blood.
03:01What's stronger than a Karen's blood?
03:03It hurt every time.
03:05I don't know how I kept going.
03:07But seeing his face turn healthy again gave me courage.
03:10Again and again.
03:11I thought we'd grow old together.
03:13Even if he was cold.
03:14He was still my little dragon.
03:15I did so many things for him.
03:17I never told him the cost.
03:18I didn't want him to feel guilty.
03:20But even that wasn't enough.
03:22He still hated my kindness.
03:23I decided to let go.
03:25Free him.
03:26Free myself.
03:27I packed my bag and left.
03:29I wandered with no direction.
03:31I found myself at the valley where we used to watch the moon.
03:34I love the moon.
03:35So does Kalos.
03:36But he never watched it with me.
03:37Only when Eliza and Wesley came.
03:39Then he would join us.
03:41That was the only time his cold face came alive.
03:44He couldn't even hide his true form.
03:46His tail trembled under his robe.
03:48I thought it was because they were twin worms.
03:51The signs were so obvious.
03:52But I was too blind to see.
03:54I took a deep breath.
03:55I blinked back the tears.
03:57Just as I turned to leave.
03:58What are you doing here?
03:59His voice wasn't cold for once.
04:01I remembered how he flinched the last time I touched him.
04:04I stepped back quickly.
04:05Nothing.
04:05Just walking.
04:07His gaze is fixed on me.
04:08He smiled.
04:09A warm smile.
04:10I need to talk to you.
04:11I looked at him confused.
04:12He brushed the hair from my face.
04:14So gentle.
04:14Like a different person.
04:15Let's bond.
04:16He said softly.
04:17My mind went blank.
04:18I'd waited ten years for these words.
04:20I thought I'd given up on him.
04:22But my heart still leaped.
04:23I nodded before I could think.
04:25Forgetting the days I'd locked myself away.
04:27Maybe it was ten years of hope.
04:28Maybe I could still warm him.
04:30He took my hand and led me home.
04:32The first time we'd touched in ten years.
04:34I held on tight.
04:35Leaned into him.
04:36He held my hand loosely.
04:38Like it would slip away the moment I let go.
04:41Back at the Karen estate,
04:42Kalis smiled gently.
04:44His eyes sparkled like shattered stars.
04:46Just like when we first met.
04:48My heart soared from the depths.
04:50I told my parents about the bond.
04:51Then magic fireworks exploded outside.
04:54I thought Kalis had planned it.
04:55I ran out, excited.
04:57Eliza and Wesley stood beneath the lights.
04:59Not for me.
05:00I'd done it again.
05:01Disappointment washed over me.
05:03I looked at Kalis beside me.
05:05He was still smiling,
05:06but I could see the sadness.
05:07Ten years together.
05:08I knew his face.
05:10He still loved my sister.
05:11The joy I'd felt faded.
05:13Kalis squeezed my hand.
05:14So hard it made me cry.
05:16News of the bond spread fast.
05:18Your family is so lucky.
05:20No true dragon since the dragon lord fell a thousand years ago.
05:23Works are the next best thing.
05:24The Karens have two works.
05:26Two of them.
05:27Other houses burned with envy.
05:29Dragon blood plus the Karens' natural healing magic.
05:31Boundless potential.
05:32But they only praised Eliza.
05:33The gifted one.
05:34The first daughter.
05:35I was an afterthought.
05:36Wesley will become a true dragon
05:38with the strongest heir of this generation.
05:40Too bad KS got stuck with the failure of the family.
05:42When Wesley is dragon lord,
05:43Eliza will be the most powerful woman on the continent.
05:46She can let her failure sister share some of the glory.
05:48I've heard words like these my whole life.
05:50My sister is the moon in the sky.
05:52I'm mud in a well.
05:54Even my own parents play favorites.
05:56So how can I expect fairness from others?
05:58I don't care about any of that.
06:00The only one whose opinion matters to me is Kalis.
06:03Does he think bonding with me wastes his bloodline?
06:06The night before our bonding, I asked him,
06:08Will you regret this?
06:09No.
06:11On the night before the ritual,
06:14Kalis and I weren't supposed to see each other.
06:16We each had to purify ourselves in the magic spring.
06:18But I remembered I hadn't given him his monthly magic blood yet.
06:22I went somewhere private and extracted it.
06:24I carefully put it in a bottle and held it close.
06:27Following his scent, I found him.
06:29Just as I was about to call his name,
06:31I heard him scoff.
06:32Eliza, you know I only agreed to bond with her
06:34so I could stay by your side.
06:36She has no talent.
06:37Her magic blood is pitifully weak.
06:39How could she compare to you?
06:40My feet were frozen to the ground.
06:42He was holding my sister's hand.
06:44His eyes were burning,
06:45like I'd never seen before.
06:47More words spilled from his mouth.
06:49Once I become a dragon,
06:50the first thing I'll do is break my bond with her.
06:52Then I'll make you the dragon lord's wife.
06:54Growing up,
06:55whenever people called me ugly or useless,
06:58Eliza was the one who spoke up for me.
07:00My parents always favored her,
07:02but I never envied her.
07:03She was the only one in the family
07:04who never looked down on me.
07:06Eliza frowned.
07:07I thought she was about to scold Kalis.
07:09I really hate that you have to stay
07:11with a failure like Lena.
07:12How is her weak magic supposed to help you train?
07:17I stepped back.
07:18I couldn't believe those words came from my sister.
07:20She even reached for Kalis' tail
07:22and played with it in her hands.
07:25If I accidentally touched Kalis' tail,
07:27he'd say it disgusted him,
07:29but he let my sister touch it however she wanted.
07:31I have Lena's magic blood.
07:34Once we bond,
07:35the benefits will be even greater.
07:37Can a little bit of blood compare to my talent?
07:40And Kalis' eyes flashed with cruelty
07:42I'd never seen before.
07:44If it's not enough,
07:45I'll take more.
07:47She's obsessed with me anyway.
07:49What's a little blood to her?
07:50So Kalis always knew.
07:52He knew I'd been feeding him my blood.
07:55At that moment,
07:56I felt like my heart was being squeezed and stomped on.
07:59I thought having Kalis meant I'd never be alone again.
08:02I thought he wanted to bond with me
08:04because he didn't want me to leave.
08:05But it was all just a way for him
08:07to stay close to my sister.
08:08Only then did I finally admit to myself,
08:12Kalis never cared about me.
08:13Those twin worms we found dying in the northern wastelands,
08:17their first love was always my sister.
08:20I stumbled back to my room,
08:21my hands trembling.
08:22I packed up everything I'd just put away.
08:25I was really leaving this time.
08:27Before I left, I wrote a note.
08:28Kalis, you're free.
08:30I raised my hand to my eyes.
08:32Day after day of draining my magic blood
08:35had taken my vision first.
08:37Soon, I wouldn't be able to see anything at all.
08:40My chest felt heavy.
08:42I finally let go of my white dragon.
08:44Let go of the me who threw myself into the fire.
08:46I didn't tell anyone where I was going.
08:48I couldn't breathe here.
08:49I just wanted to run.
08:51After leaving House Karen,
08:52I moved around a lot.
08:54Finally, I settled in a border town
08:56where no one knew me.
08:57Simple people, simple life.
09:00Lots of small, untamed, magical beasts.
09:03Slowly, everyone learned I had healing powers
09:05for magical creatures.
09:07Word spread.
09:08The local Temer's Guild found me.
09:10They convinced me to join.
09:11They promised not to reveal who I really was.
09:14At House Karen, I was a failure.
09:16But in this border town,
09:18I was just good enough.
09:19The people were kind,
09:21especially the children.
09:23They'd pick colorful magic stones from the wild
09:25and leave them on my windowsill
09:27to thank me for calming their restless beasts.
09:30Some of the braver kids would ask,
09:31Miss, you're so amazing.
09:33Why don't you have your own magical beast?
09:34I'm not amazing.
09:36I'm not pretty either.
09:37No beast would want to bond with me.
09:39Who said that?
09:40You're the kindest, prettiest Tamer we've ever met.
09:42I forced a smile and shrugged it off.
09:44Kids get distracted fast.
09:46Soon, they ran off to play with their own beasts.
09:48I suddenly thought of Kalos.
09:50Had he noticed I was gone yet?
09:52Was he furious that his plan fell apart?
09:55Would he drop his cold mask?
09:57I shook my head,
09:58pushed those thoughts away.
10:00House Karen and Kalos had nothing to do with me anymore.
10:03My dad found a lame beast.
10:05Its face is covered in ugly scars.
10:07I've never seen such an ugly beast.
10:08No wonder its owner dumped it.
10:09I saw it too.
10:10With all those injuries,
10:11it must have escaped from the underground arena.
10:13Everyone went quiet.
10:15In this small town,
10:16people didn't talk about places like that.
10:19I'd heard my father say
10:20only savage beasts get sent to the arena.
10:23Beasts that won't obey.
10:25The arena doesn't treat them like living things.
10:28They just make them fight each other.
10:30Endlessly.
10:32I couldn't help asking,
10:33where is he now?
10:34Lena,
10:35you're not thinking of going to find him, are you?
10:36Don't do it.
10:37If he really escaped from the arena,
10:38he's dangerous.
10:39He could go crazy and hurt you.
10:41You've seen him today, haven't you?
10:43The man hesitated,
10:44then nodded.
10:44I saw him
10:45in that abandoned shack by the mountain.
10:48Then he added,
10:48you're not thinking of taking him in, are you?
10:50Take in a new beast.
10:51The scar on my chest ached.
10:53I probably didn't have the courage
10:55to raise another beast.
10:56Ten years with Kalos
10:58had nearly drained all my magic,
10:59but I couldn't help feeling bitter.
11:01Why do only the pretty ones,
11:03the talented ones,
11:04get seen,
11:05get treated well,
11:06get loved?
11:07We who long to be noticed and loved,
11:10don't we count too?
11:11Looking at the worried faces around me,
11:13I said,
11:14even arena beasts can tell right from wrong,
11:15just like people.
11:16As long as he means no harm,
11:17I don't think he will attack anyone.
11:19Please don't judge him too harshly.
11:21Maybe he's just an ordinary beast
11:22who's suffered a lot.
11:23I followed the man's directions
11:24to the abandoned shack by the mountain.
11:26It was dark inside.
11:28Two black stone-like things
11:29glowed in the darkness.
11:31The beast's eyes.
11:32I placed the food I'd brought
11:33in front of the shack.
11:36This is for you to eat.
11:38Don't be afraid.
11:40They're just ordinary things.
11:43After a moment,
11:44a voice came from inside.
11:46Who are you?
11:47The voice was rough,
11:48like gravel grinding together.
11:50I smiled and answered softly,
11:52I'm like you.
11:54Someone with no home.
11:55Maybe he could tell I meant no harm.
11:57There was a rustling sound from inside.
11:59The beast moved to the doorway.
12:01He carefully picked up the food.
12:03Only then could I see him clearly.
12:05His true form was a wyvern.
12:07Nothing like the man had said.
12:09He didn't seem fierce at all.
12:11Just lifeless, like ash.
12:13The scars on his face were deep.
12:15His hair was matted into knots.
12:17He ate while watching me nervously,
12:19like he was afraid I'd take the food away.
12:22I hid my hands behind my back
12:23to make him feel safer.
12:24What's your name?
12:26I asked.
12:27He swallowed the food with difficulty.
12:29His eyes glowed brighter.
12:31Caspian.
12:32My name is Caspian.
12:34I repeated.
12:35Caspian.
12:36That's a lovely name.
12:38Caspian's face turned a little red.
12:40Even through the scars,
12:41he was beautiful.
12:42When he finished eating,
12:43I got ready to leave.
12:45I told him,
12:47Caspian.
12:48The people here are kind.
12:50No one will hurt you.
12:52Caspian nodded hesitantly.
12:53Such a gentle beast.
12:55Why would anyone send him to the arena?
12:57Why treat him so cruelly?
12:59I sighed and turned to leave.
13:01But Caspian grabbed my sleeve.
13:03I looked back into his eyes.
13:05Wet.
13:05Begging.
13:06He spoke with difficulty.
13:08Could you...
13:08Could you take me in?
13:10I'm not a bad person.
13:11I was stunned.
13:13Afraid I'd say no,
13:14he rushed out words.
13:15I know my leg is hurt.
13:16But I can still work.
13:17Build fires,
13:18cook soup,
13:19clean the house,
13:20mend clothes.
13:20I can do all of it.
13:21Anything you need.
13:22Just tell me.
13:26Looking at Caspian,
13:27I saw my younger self.
13:28I did everything
13:29to get my parents to notice me.
13:31Copied spells for them.
13:33Cleaned their magic circles.
13:35Organized my sister's spell books.
13:37Polished her magic tools.
13:39Just to seem useful.
13:40Like if I did less,
13:41I didn't deserve their love.
13:43But my sister did nothing.
13:45She just stood there.
13:46And she was always their favorite.
13:48I carried that feeling
13:49of not being good enough
13:50my whole life.
13:51I always wished
13:52someone would tell me,
13:53you don't have to earn our love.
13:55My heart ached.
13:56I looked into Caspian's eyes.
13:57I'm not pretty.
13:58My magic is weak.
14:01Are you sure you want
14:02someone like me?
14:03Caspian let go of my sleeve.
14:05My heart sank.
14:06Of course,
14:07looks and power
14:08were all that mattered.
14:09But then Caspian wiped his hands
14:11on his clothes
14:12and gently touched my face.
14:14Lena, you are beautiful.
14:16More beautiful than anyone
14:17I've ever seen.
14:19I want to be with you.
14:22No one had ever said that
14:23to me before.
14:24Caspian's eyes were clean.
14:26No disgust.
14:27No judgment.
14:28Looking into his honest eyes,
14:30I reached out my hand
14:31without thinking.
14:32Afraid I'd change my mind,
14:34he grabbed it quickly.
14:35And just like that,
14:36I took Caspian in.
14:38Caspian was nothing like Calus.
14:40With Caspian around,
14:41I didn't have to lift a finger.
14:42He kept the house perfectly.
14:45Always found ways to cook things
14:46that made me smile.
14:47He knew what I liked.
14:49There was always hot soup
14:50waiting on the stove.
14:51I told him he didn't have to do
14:53all this to stay with me.
14:54I said I didn't want to trap him
14:55with gratitude.
14:56But really,
14:57I was scared.
14:58Scared that one day
15:00he'd turn cold like Calus
15:02and I wouldn't know
15:03how to handle it.
15:04Even the old man
15:05who warned me about him
15:06had changed his tune.
15:07Good things come to good people,
15:09he said.
15:10Caspian is so capable.
15:12You're lucky.
15:13The neighbors were jealous too.
15:15They compared Caspian
15:16to their own beasts.
15:18I just smiled and said nothing.
15:20I thought Caspian
15:21would be gentle,
15:21but I never expected him
15:23to be this good.
15:24Being with him
15:25taught me something.
15:26It's not about being human
15:27or beast.
15:28It's about whether
15:29someone wants to care.
15:30Time passed quickly.
15:32With Caspian by my side,
15:33I thought about the past
15:35less often,
15:35but sometimes I still
15:36had nightmares.
15:37I dreamed about
15:38the fourth year with Calus.
15:40My sister and I
15:40took our beasts out.
15:42We were ambushed
15:42by our family's rivals.
15:44Fireballs exploded.
15:46Swords clashed.
15:47Wesley protected Eliza.
15:49I pulled Calus
15:50trying to escape.
15:51They chased us
15:52to the edge of a cliff.
15:53I was so focused
15:54on protecting Calus.
15:55I didn't watch my step.
15:57I fell.
15:58As I fell,
15:59I hated myself
16:00for being useless.
16:02I was still worried
16:03about Calus.
16:04But in the dream,
16:05I saw things more clearly.
16:06Right before I fell,
16:07someone tried to attack
16:09my sister.
16:09Calus pushed me aside.
16:11He and Wesley
16:12both shielded Eliza.
16:13It wasn't an accident.
16:14I was just in the way.
16:15The cliff wasn't that high.
16:17I survived.
16:18But all my limbs
16:19were broken.
16:20I was bedridden
16:21for six months.
16:22My parents visited once.
16:23They were too busy.
16:24Eliza had scratches.
16:26They couldn't let her
16:26have scars.
16:27They searched everywhere
16:28for healing potions.
16:29Calus came once too.
16:31When Eliza came
16:32to check on me,
16:32a voice screamed
16:33in my head.
16:34Lena Karen,
16:35you're a waste of air.
16:37No one will ever
16:38love you.
16:39I shook my head,
16:40trying to push it out.
16:42Even the beast you raised
16:43abandoned you.
16:44You're worthless.
16:45Always have been.
16:47The voice grew sharper.
16:48Sometimes my father's voice.
16:49Sometimes my mother's.
16:51Sometimes my sister's.
16:52Then it became
16:53Calus's voice.
16:54You make me sick.
16:55I backed away,
16:57begging.
16:57I'm sorry.
16:58I'm sorry.
16:59The new walls
17:00I'd built crumbled.
17:01I almost drowned
17:02in self-pity again.
17:03Then I felt warmth
17:04on my forehead.
17:05The voices disappeared,
17:07like someone tore
17:08open the darkness.
17:09I ran toward the light.
17:10It grew brighter
17:11and brighter.
17:12When I opened my eyes,
17:14Caspian was kneeling
17:15by my bed.
17:16His hand was on my forehead.
17:17When he saw I was awake,
17:18he let out a breath of relief.
17:20Lena,
17:21did you have a nightmare?
17:22His voice was soft
17:23and gentle.
17:23It made me feel safe.
17:25I don't know why,
17:25but I wanted to cry.
17:27Tears flooded my eyes.
17:28For the first time,
17:29I cried in front of Caspian.
17:31The tears wouldn't stop.
17:32Caspian didn't know
17:33how to comfort me,
17:34so he just held me awkwardly.
17:36His arms were gentle.
17:37He patted my back.
17:38Don't be sad, Lena.
17:39Caspian is here.
17:40If I cried in front of Calus,
17:41he'd just tell me coldly
17:43to leave.
17:44But with Caspian,
17:44I didn't have to pretend
17:45to be strong.
17:46My lips trembled.
17:47I said something
17:48without thinking.
17:49Can I touch your tail?
17:50Caspian's breath caught.
17:51He let his tail appear
17:53and placed it in my hand.
17:54I touched it gently.
17:55The green scales shimmered
17:57with dark light.
17:58Beneath the scales,
17:59golden veins glowed.
18:01Were all wyvern tails
18:02this beautiful?
18:03I'd seen my sister
18:04touch Wesley's tail.
18:05Worms are the closest
18:06things to dragons,
18:07but even Wesley's tail
18:08wasn't as beautiful
18:09as Caspian's.
18:10My hand trembled
18:11as I touched it,
18:12something I'd wanted
18:13since I was young.
18:14My fingers moved
18:15along his snake tail.
18:16I didn't notice
18:17his breathing getting faster.
18:19Suddenly,
18:19he grabbed my hand.
18:20His voice was rough,
18:21leaner.
18:22Do you know what it means
18:23to touch a tail?
18:24I looked at him,
18:25confused.
18:25What does it mean
18:26to touch a tail?
18:27Ever since I could remember,
18:28I'd seen my sister
18:29touch beasts' tails,
18:31griffins,
18:31winter wolves,
18:32countless birds and beasts.
18:34My sister said beasts
18:35only let powerful tamers
18:37touch their tails,
18:38so I never dared to try.
18:39I only touched Calus
18:40because I loved him so much.
18:42Seeing that I didn't understand,
18:44Caspian blushed.
18:45He turned his head away
18:45and whispered,
18:46A tail is the most sensitive
18:47part of a beast.
18:49Touching it means
18:50you want to mate.
18:51My face burned,
18:52so that's what it meant.
18:53My sister lied to me.
18:55No one had ever taught me this.
18:56I'd thought it was just
18:57a casual sign of affection.
18:59I'd been a tamer
19:00all these years for nothing.
19:01Did that mean I'd been perverted
19:03when I watched my sister
19:04touch Wesley's tail,
19:05and my sister touched
19:06so many beasts' tails.
19:08Did her magic get stronger
19:09every time?
19:10I thought it was just talent.
19:11I quickly let go of Caspian's tail.
19:13My face was hot.
19:14Caspian turned back
19:15and looked at me seriously.
19:16Don't misunderstand, Lena.
19:18I want you to.
19:18It just feels intense.
19:21I looked away.
19:22He took my hand again,
19:23guiding my fingers
19:24along his tail.
19:25Everywhere I touched,
19:26golden light glowed.
19:27I was born in the Wastelands.
19:29I was taken to the arena
19:30when I was small.
19:31They wanted me to fight.
19:32I refused.
19:33I barely escaped.
19:34I thought I'd live
19:35in the shadows forever.
19:36I didn't see the point.
19:37Then I met you, Lena.
19:39My heart ached.
19:40Caspian had suffered so much.
19:41If I'd met him
19:42instead of Calus back then,
19:43would everything be different?
19:44He kept talking.
19:45I want to bond with you,
19:47be with you forever,
19:48if you don't mind
19:48that I'm ugly.
19:49Of course not,
19:50I blurted out.
19:51I meant I didn't mind.
19:53Lena,
19:53is that a yes?
19:54His heart pounded wildly.
19:56It stirred something
19:57in my heart too.
19:58I thought about saying no,
19:59but when I opened my mouth
20:00I said,
20:01yes.
20:02Looking ahead,
20:03a life with Caspian
20:04didn't seem so bad.
20:05Caspian took care of me.
20:07I took care of his leg.
20:08Slowly,
20:08we both got better.
20:09Every evening
20:10we walk through the hills,
20:12the breeze in our faces.
20:13Neither of us
20:14had happy memories
20:15to look back on,
20:16but walking hand in hand,
20:17we always had things
20:18to talk about.
20:19The wind is strong today.
20:20Lots of berries
20:21fell from the mountain.
20:22We were about to gather
20:23some for dinner.
20:23Then I heard someone
20:24call my name from behind.
20:26Lena!
20:27My heart stopped.
20:28Why was he here?
20:29I froze.
20:30I used to have hope
20:31for this man,
20:32my father.
20:33I hoped he'd remember
20:34his younger daughter.
20:35Even if he didn't love me,
20:36at least don't act
20:37like I don't exist.
20:38He bought magic candy
20:39and dolls for my sister,
20:41but he never did anything
20:41for me.
20:42He'd barely even smiled
20:43at me my whole life.
20:44But blood is strange.
20:46He treated me
20:46like a stranger.
20:47Still,
20:47hearing he was dying
20:48made me sad.
20:49As a daughter,
20:50I should be there
20:50at the end,
20:51even if he didn't care
20:52whether I came or not.
20:53Caspian looked at me
20:54with worry.
20:55I said to him,
20:55Caspian,
20:56let me heal your face.
20:57Caspian looked down.
20:58Lena,
20:58are you going back
20:59to that house?
21:00I squeezed his hand.
21:01Don't overthink it.
21:02I just don't want anyone
21:03to look down on you.
21:04If we went back
21:05to House Karen,
21:05I'd have to hear
21:06all those insults again.
21:07I couldn't let him
21:08hear them too.
21:09Caspian nodded gently.
21:10I trust you.
21:11It's in a beast's nature
21:12to be cautious.
21:13But after everything
21:14Caspian had been through,
21:15he could still trust someone.
21:16That made his trust precious.
21:18I couldn't help
21:18touching his face.
21:19The skin without scars
21:21was smoother than any woman's.
21:22Suddenly,
21:23Caspian revealed
21:24his true form.
21:25His tail wrapped
21:26around my waist.
21:27It felt hard
21:27against my stomach
21:28and warm.
21:29I touched his golden scales
21:31gently,
21:31all the way to the tip
21:32of his tail.
21:33Caspian's body trembled.
21:34His voice was rough.
21:36Lena,
21:36did you touch his tail too?
21:37I knew who he meant.
21:38He hated when I touched him
21:40because I wasn't
21:41the one he wanted.
21:42Caspian's eyes lit up.
21:43Don't touch him anymore.
21:44I don't like
21:45the way he looks at you.
21:46That night,
21:46Caspian didn't sleep
21:47in his room.
21:48He climbed into my bed.
21:49He said he wanted
21:50to stay warm with me.
21:51I knew Calus's sudden appearance
21:53had made him anxious,
21:54so I let him.
21:55When he got emotional,
21:56he'd shift into his true form.
21:57I hadn't paid attention before,
21:59but now I noticed
22:00a horn on his forehead.
22:01Wyverns don't have horns.
22:03I stopped Caspian
22:03from moving against me.
22:05What are you?
22:05I asked.
22:06Caspian's eyes were red.
22:08He could barely stay conscious.
22:09Whatever you say I am,
22:11he said.
22:11I'm that.
22:12He didn't know
22:13what he really was.
22:14The golden light
22:15on his tail,
22:16the horn on his head,
22:17hard as a blade.
22:18They looked like
22:18the symbols
22:19on the dragon carvings
22:20my sister and I
22:21saw in the ruins.
22:22Could Caspian be?
22:23I didn't dare
22:23finish the thought.
22:24Caspian didn't give me
22:25time to think.
22:26His true form
22:27was incredibly strong.
22:28He wrapped around me,
22:29nothing like
22:30the gentle Caspian
22:31I knew.
22:32I held him back.
22:33Wrapped in layers
22:33of his body,
22:34I felt completely safe.
22:36I forgot about
22:36House Karen.
22:37Forgot about Calus.
22:39Forgot 20 years
22:40of pain and struggle.
22:41The next day,
22:42I found an excuse
22:43to send Caspian away.
22:45I held a blade
22:45to my eye.
22:46The skin
22:46under the blade
22:47throbbed.
22:48You never learn,
22:49do you?
22:50I laughed bitterly.
22:51But going back
22:51to House Karen,
22:52this was the fastest
22:53way to heal Caspian.
22:55I bit down
22:55and pressed the blade in.
22:57The familiar pain
22:57hit me.
22:58Then a clink.
22:59The blade fell
22:59to the ground.
23:00Didn't I send
23:00Caspian away?
23:01How was he back?
23:02His eyes were wide.
23:03Are you hurting yourself?
23:05Seeing his panic,
23:06I explained quickly,
23:07No, no,
23:07I was just getting
23:08some magic blood.
23:09I know I have weak magic,
23:10but my blood
23:11is good for you.
23:12Drink it.
23:12The scars on your face
23:13and your leg
23:14will heal.
23:15Caspian stepped forward.
23:16He backed me
23:16into the corner.
23:17It was the first time
23:18I'd seen him so angry.
23:19No one is worth
23:20hurting yourself like this.
23:22Not even me.
23:23His words exploded
23:24in my ears.
23:24But in my memory,
23:25Calus' voice echoed too.
23:27If it's not enough,
23:28take more.
23:28She's obsessed
23:29with me anyway.
23:30Fake love
23:31and real love.
23:32There's no comparison.
23:33Looking at Caspian's
23:34angry face,
23:34my heart felt soft instead.
23:36I weakly tugged his sleeve.
23:38Just once.
23:38One extraction.
23:39It'll heal most of your injuries.
23:41But Caspian ignored me.
23:42He touched the scar
23:43on my chest instead.
23:44You got this wound
23:45for him, didn't you?
23:46Caspian is almost jealous of him.
23:48Then he let go of me.
23:49He reached into his own chest
23:50and pulled.
23:51Sweat poured down his fore...
23:52Veins bulged.
23:54I grabbed him,
23:54trying to steady him.
23:55His body heat
23:56burned my palm.
23:57Then a flash of gold.
23:58A dark green scale
23:59appeared in his palm.
24:01He pressed it over my eye.
24:02I stared at Caspian in shock.
24:03What are you doing?
24:04Are you trying to get yourself killed?
24:06My heart scale.
24:08Nothing can pierce it.
24:09Now you can't hurt yourself anymore.
24:11He'd torn out his own heart scale.
24:12I touched my chest.
24:14The scale had already merged with me.
24:16A pure, powerful magic gathered there.
24:18And the scar I'd had for years was gone.
24:20I finally understood
24:21why Caspian had been sent to the arena.
24:23His power was terrifying.
24:25So much stronger than my clumsy magic.
24:27He had this incredible healing power.
24:29But he never used it on himself.
24:31He let me fumble
24:32and make things worse.
24:33So many times.
24:34I choked out.
24:35Why?
24:36Why didn't you heal yourself?
24:37Caspian smiled weakly.
24:39Because if I healed my wounds,
24:40you would have sent me away.
24:42So he kept his wounds on purpose.
24:43Tears filled my eyes again.
24:45Caspian panicked
24:46and tried to wipe them away.
24:47But the more he wiped,
24:49the more they fell.
24:50He used his magic desperately.
24:51Your wounds are healed now.
24:53Don't cry.
24:53Through the blur of tears,
24:54I looked at Caspian.
24:56The scars on his face were gone.
24:57His skin was pale underneath.
24:59But beneath the scars,
25:00he was breathtakingly beautiful.
25:02Eyes like black gems set in long, narrow sockets.
25:06A straight, perfect nose.
25:07Lips as red as cherry blossoms.
25:09Skin as smooth as jade.
25:11Every angle perfect.
25:13This beautiful man was Caspian.
25:15The better he was,
25:16the more worthless I felt.
25:18The old self-doubt came rushing back.
25:20Caspian saw my face change.
25:21Lena, do you not like how I look?
25:23I can change back.
25:24He reached for scissors.
25:25I stopped him.
25:26I pushed down my rising self-hatred
25:28and forced a smile.
25:29Caspian, you're beautiful.
25:31Everyone in town came to stare at Caspian.
25:33The neighbors all praised him.
25:35Lena, you really found a treasure.
25:36Caspian is so capable and so handsome.
25:39I've never seen such a handsome beast in my whole life.
25:42Caspian blushed at all the attention.
25:44I looked up at him.
25:45The sun gilded him in gold.
25:47Yes, Caspian was wonderful.
25:49I didn't deserve someone so wonderful.
25:51When I brought Caspian back to House Karen,
25:53everyone praised his looks too.
25:55Even Eliza Karen came up to him.
25:56You're too beautiful to be stuck with Lena.
25:59Did she force you?
26:00Word had spread that I'd abandoned Calus.
26:02So of course they assumed the worst.
26:04Caspian frowned.
26:05I chose her.
26:06She wants nothing from me.
26:07Eliza wouldn't give up.
26:08Come with me instead.
26:09I already have a bonded beast,
26:11but I'm the strongest in House Karen.
26:13I can help you train.
26:14She didn't care at all about Wesley behind her
26:16or Calus hiding in the shadows.
26:18Caspian stepped behind me.
26:20He pointed at me.
26:20She is my Temer.
26:21Only her.
26:22I don't care how strong you are.
26:24And besides,
26:24who's the strongest is still up for debate.
26:27I liked the first half.
26:28The second half confused me.
26:29For the first time in 20 years,
26:31Eliza had been rejected by a beast.
26:33Eliza was furious,
26:35and there were consequences.
26:36The entire House Karen stopped praising Caspian's looks
26:39and started gossiping about his past instead.
26:43Sure, Caspian's good-looking,
26:44but he's just a low-level sky serpent.
26:46He'll never be a real dragon.
26:48Honestly,
26:49he and Lena,
26:50that failure,
26:51deserve each other.
26:53Our family's got Issa.
26:55That's all we need.
26:56Now that the twin Hue dragons have chosen her as their master,
26:58Lena's always going to be trampled under Issa's feet.
27:01Caspian covered my ears.
27:02I shook my head and pulled his hands down.
27:04I said,
27:04Caspian,
27:05I grew up hearing this kind of talk.
27:06I'm used to it.
27:07Caspian gently touched my face,
27:09his eyes full of pity.
27:11I took him to the valley to look at the moon.
27:13That's where we ran into Caius.
27:15Caius snapped.
27:17This is our place.
27:18How could you bring him here?
27:20I said,
27:21Caius,
27:22the moon in the sky doesn't belong to anyone.
27:25And by the way,
27:26we doesn't really work for you and me anymore.
27:29He stormed over to grab my shoulder.
27:31But Caspian threw his hand up and blasted him back with pure force.
27:35Caius stared at his own hand in disbelief,
27:38then looked at Caspian.
27:42No way.
27:44Aren't you just a sky serpent?
27:46If you lay a hand on her again,
27:48I'll make you disappear from this world.
27:50I looked at Caspian.
27:51It felt so good to be defended like that.
27:54Caius pulled himself together.
27:57The head of the family wants to see you before she passes.
28:00Tonight might be your last chance.
28:02Huey dragons have an incredibly accurate sense of life and death.
28:06Their premonitions are almost never wrong.
28:09Still,
28:10I was confused.
28:11If she's dying and wants to see someone,
28:14shouldn't it be Aissa?
28:15Don't worry.
28:17I'll be back soon.
28:19But the second I turned away,
28:21I missed the dark,
28:22hateful look in Caius's eyes.
28:25The moment I stepped into the main courtyard,
28:27I knew something was wrong.
28:29It was filled with restrictions.
28:31My magic was almost completely suppressed.
28:34I looked back at Caius.
28:36He wasn't affected at all.
28:37Was this my intuition warning me?
28:40I tried to leave,
28:41but then Aissa and Wesley
28:43stepped out from the shadows.
28:45My dear little sister.
28:48It's been a few years.
28:50You've gotten sharper.
28:54Caius,
28:56come here.
28:57His body went stiff.
28:58He couldn't look me in the eye.
29:00Head down,
29:01he walked over to Aissa.
29:03I asked,
29:04What are you planning to do?
29:05Aissa chuckled softly.
29:07Lina,
29:08don't be scared.
29:09I just need a little favor from you.
29:11I almost laughed.
29:12She's never wanted my help with anything.
29:15Because heaven forbid anyone say she had to turn to a failure like me.
29:18When I didn't answer,
29:20Aissa stepped closer and traced little circles over my heart with her fingertip.
29:24Caius told me your magical essence is perfect for cultivation.
29:28So I thought I'd borrow some from you.
29:31I turned to Caius in shock.
29:33So the news about my father dying,
29:36luring me here.
29:37It was all to help Aissa and Wesley take my essence.
29:40The boy I'd treasured for ten years.
29:43He felt like a complete stranger now.
29:45Caius looked away.
29:47I closed my eyes and let out a long, heavy breath.
29:51Aissa and I are sisters.
29:52We share the same blood.
29:54So why does it have to be mine?
29:57Aissa leaned softly against Wesley's chest,
29:59but her fingers kept playing with Caius' dark hair.
30:04Because I hate pain,
30:06and Caius can't stand seeing me hurt.
30:10Isn't that right?
30:11Under her gaze,
30:13Caius nodded.
30:15Seeing that,
30:16I finally burst out laughing.
30:17Then I looked him dead in the eye and said,
30:20word for word.
30:22You make me sick.
30:23I threw his own words right back at him.
30:26His lips pressed into a tight line.
30:28He finally lifted his head to look at me.
30:30Whatever was in his eyes.
30:32Struggle, guilt, hesitation.
30:35It didn't matter to me anymore.
30:37Lena, my dear little sister.
30:40Wesley and Caius are about to awaken and become true dragons.
30:44Just give them your magical evidence,
30:46and we'll make it up to you later.
30:48Aissa put on a fake sweet voice.
30:50She still thought I was that little girl she used to mess with.
30:53Two Huey dragons awakening at once?
30:56Draining every last drop of my magical essence wouldn't even be enough.
31:00The whole continent can't have two dragon lords.
31:04Between Caius and Wesley,
31:06one of them is doomed to fall.
31:08And for that, maybe,
31:09that one in a million chance,
31:11the boy I once cared about most
31:13and the sister I grovelled to please
31:16were ready to sacrifice me.
31:18My hands and feet trembled.
31:20My whole body went cold.
31:22The only warmth I felt came from the scales over my heart.
31:25I touched them and thought,
31:27Caspian is a true dragon.
31:29Caius and Wesley wanting to become dragons?
31:32It's laughable.
31:33They've been flattered for so long
31:35they've forgotten their own blood and place.
31:37Not that that's surprising.
31:38Issa saw the sneer on my face and lost it.
31:41She ordered Caius to tie me up.
31:43He hesitated for just a second.
31:45Then he walked toward me.
31:47Every step crushed whatever little feeling I had left for him.
31:51Caius said,
31:53Lena, don't fight it.
31:54It won't hurt as much.
31:56How thoughtful.
31:58How gentle.
31:59Then I said, ice cold.
32:00Caius...
32:01You're going to regret this.
32:03While pretending to tighten the ropes,
32:05I awaken and become a dragon.
32:06He leaned in and whispered.
32:07I'll let you go.
32:08Just help me one more time.
32:10I won't let anything happen to you.
32:12Trust me.
32:15Back then,
32:16even saying my name annoyed him.
32:18Now he kept saying it over and over.
32:21And it just made me sick.
32:23Caius.
32:23The boy I used to treasure.
32:26He'd become someone I didn't recognize anymore.
32:29Caius dragged me over to Issa.
32:31She took a sword
32:32and stabbed me right in the chest.
32:34But there wasn't a single mark on me.
32:37Her eyes went wide in disbelief.
32:39She tried again.
32:40And again.
32:42Stab after stab.
32:43Nothing worked.
32:45Issa hissed.
32:46No way.
32:47No way, Lena.
32:48What kind of dark magic did you use?
32:50I gave a cold laugh.
32:51Issa, you can't hurt me.
32:53She handed the sword to Caius.
32:55Here, you try.
32:57Caius tested it with one stab.
32:59Same result.
33:01Issa snapped.
33:02Try somewhere else, Caius.
33:03There's no way we're not getting any essence out of her.
33:06His hand trembled slightly as he stabbed my left arm.
33:10This time, magical essence began to seep out.
33:14Seeing that, Issa's mood lifted.
33:16She was so desperate for the position of family head
33:20and the power of being Dragon Lord's wife that she'd completely lost herself.
33:25Caius kept stabbing me.
33:27Over and over.
33:28The essence pouring out of me made both Caius and Wesley lose control
33:33and shift into their true forms.
33:35I thought to myself,
33:37it hurts so much.
33:39I wish I could hug Caspian right now.
33:41His arms are so warm.
33:43He'd gently pat my back.
33:45The way my mother used to when she put Issa to sleep.
33:48I knew Caspian would keep waiting for me in that little town.
33:51He'd always been so gentle.
33:54I just hoped that after I died, he'd find a good master.
33:58Someone who wouldn't put him through more pain.
34:00As more and more of my essence was drained,
34:03my body grew weaker and weaker.
34:06Then suddenly, a deafening roar echoed from above.
34:10Everyone stopped.
34:12They all looked up and rushed toward the sound.
34:14They saw what Issa was doing to me.
34:16Every single one of them.
34:18But no one stopped her.
34:20They were more focused on that cry in the sky
34:23than on the fact that I was dying.
34:25Even the elders, who barely ever showed their faces,
34:29came running.
34:30Tears streamed down their wrinkled, bark-like faces.
34:34That's a dragon's roar.
34:36The dragon lord has come.
34:39Hearing this, everyone in the Cairn family
34:41turned to look at Caius and Wesley,
34:43who were standing beside Issa.
34:45The Cairns were the only family on the entire continent
34:49that had Huey dragons.
34:51The creatures closest to true dragons.
34:54But neither Caius nor Wesley had awakened yet.
34:57So where did that roar come from?
35:00Elder, are you sure?
35:01Our family's Huey dragons haven't awakened.
35:04How can there be a real long-on to know?
35:05The elder sighed deeply.
35:07Sadly, it seems our family was never worthy of that honor.
35:10A true dragon has appeared.
35:12The Huey dragons have lost their chance to awaken.
35:15No! No way!
35:16My beast has to become dragon lord!
35:18All we need is enough magical essence!
35:19That's it! Magical essence!
35:21Her face twisted with rage.
35:23She snatched the sword from Caius and raised it to stab me.
35:26I knew I'd reached my limit.
35:28I probably couldn't survive another hit from her,
35:30so I just closed my eyes.
35:31Esa's sword came flying at me and then hit the ground with a heavy thud.
35:35I opened my eyes.
35:37I could feel my magic coming back.
35:39My wounds began to heal, slowly.
35:42The restraints that had been suppressing me disappeared.
35:44Roar after roar echoed from above.
35:47A crushing pressure descended from the sky,
35:50forcing every beast companion in the family to bow to the ground.
35:54Caius and Wesley struggled a little longer than the others,
35:57but eventually they dropped to their knees too.
35:59I looked up.
36:00A massive dragon was weaving through the clouds.
36:02The red scales on its tail shimmered with dark light,
36:05and beneath them, faint gold flickered.
36:08It was Caspian.
36:12Caius.
36:13Wesley.
36:13Do you know your mistake?
36:16You know exactly what you've done.
36:18The two of them knelt low,
36:20their eyes bleeding crimson tears from the sheer pressure of the true dragon.
36:24I looked over and saw the fierce unwillingness in their eyes,
36:28but in the face of absolute power,
36:30all they could do was bow their heads in respect.
36:32Great dragon lord,
36:34we know we were wrong.
36:36The rest of the Cairn family had no idea
36:38why the true dragon had appeared just to punish their beasts,
36:42but Isa had a guess.
36:43She glared at me with pure hatred.
36:46Lena.
36:48I know this is you.
36:49What kind of deal did you make with that evil dragon?
36:52The family's faces went pale.
36:54Magic household or not,
36:56there was nothing they could do against a dragon lord.
36:59Isa's disrespect terrified them.
37:01She grabbed the sword off the ground and lunged at me again.
37:04Caspian shifted into human form and landed in front of me.
37:07He crushed the sword between two fingers,
37:10then with a flick of his energy,
37:11pinned Isa to a pillar not far away.
37:14Ice pierced through her hands and feet,
37:16tearing the tendons wide open.
37:19Broken ribs jutted out from her side.
37:21The pain she felt was a hundred times worse than what I had just endured.
37:25Caspian lowered his gaze to the wounds on my body.
37:28His eyes were filled with pain.
37:30I'm sorry.
37:31I came too late.
37:32I shook my head.
37:34No.
37:35You came right on time.
37:37Seeing the family's prodigy tortured like that,
37:40one of the Karen elders stepped forward.
37:43Great dragon lord,
37:44you may be the ruler of this continent,
37:47but you can't just attack a beast taker like that.
37:49Isa is our family's most gifted member
37:51and the next head of the household.
37:53Please, spare her.
37:55Caspian pulled me protectively into his arms.
37:58Anger burned in his eyes.
37:59He swept his gaze across the Karen family and let out a cold laugh.
38:04I don't kill beast hampers,
38:05but I do kill those who refuse to see the truth,
38:08who can't tell right from wrong.
38:10The elder looked confused.
38:12Great dragon lord,
38:13what do you mean?
38:14The elder stepped forward and examined my energy.
38:17Then his face went pale with shock.
38:20How is this possible?
38:21When Lena was born,
38:22her magic was barely there.
38:23She grew up average at best.
38:25But now,
38:26her power is so rich she rivals me?
38:28I was just as shocked.
38:30I looked up at Caspian.
38:32He lowered his gaze to me and explained patiently.
38:35Lena,
38:35there was a seal placed inside you.
38:37It could only be broken by bonding with a magical beast.
38:40Your sister Isa knew this secret all along.
38:43That's why she broke through the seal before you did.
38:45Isa had known from the very beginning.
38:48No wonder she'd always told me never to touch a beast's tail when we were kids.
38:51She said a low-level tamer like me would get killed by them.
38:55All those years,
38:57she stood by and watched me get mocked,
38:59ignored,
39:00left to struggle and scrape by in the Karen family.
39:04I'd bowed and scraped before her like a servant,
39:07pouring out all the warmth I never got from our parents
39:10and throwing it at her feet instead.
39:12And she'd been planning to keep me down from the very start.
39:17Isa screened at the top of her lungs.
39:19Lena,
39:19you worthless failure!
39:21You'll never be better than me!
39:23Our parents love the Karen family's honor!
39:25The beast's loyalty is all mine!
39:28Caspian flicked his hand
39:29and Isa's teeth scattered all over the ground.
39:32Then he pulled out a mirror from somewhere
39:34and held it up in front of me.
39:35I stared at the stunning beauty in the reflection.
39:38For a moment,
39:39I couldn't believe my own eyes.
39:41Caspian said softly,
39:42Lena,
39:43I told you before,
39:44you're beautiful.
39:45The most beautiful person I've ever seen.
39:47The sudden change.
39:49My looks,
39:50my overwhelming magic
39:51caught me completely off guard.
39:53No wonder he'd insisted on sleeping beside me
39:55every single night
39:56before we came back to the Karen family.
39:58While he was forming his dragon body,
40:00my magic had been growing fast too.
40:02This wasn't the innocent,
40:04gentle little sky serpent
40:05I'd found back then.
40:06This dragon had been playing the long game all along.
40:09With Isa's magic shattered
40:11and my own natural talent now undeniable,
40:14the elder finally shut his mouth.
40:16Then my mother came running out of the house sobbing
40:18and told us my father was gone.
40:20Without missing a beat,
40:22the elder raised my hand
40:23and announced to the entire Karen family,
40:25Lena is the next head of the Karen family.
40:28All those who'd once mocked me
40:30now had sour looks on their faces.
40:32My mother rushed to the pillar where Isa was pinned,
40:35crying out her name in anguish.
40:36Then she turned to glare at me with pure hatred.
40:39She wanted to strike me,
40:41but Caspian's presence scared her off.
40:43I should have felt satisfied,
40:44but all I felt was a hollow sadness.
40:47I pulled my hand back from the elder.
40:49I don't care about being the head of the Karen family.
40:52I want to be the dragon lord's wife.
40:54Caspian looked at me with nothing
40:55but pure affection in his eyes.
40:57Everyone else was shocked speechless.
40:59Caspian nodded.
41:01Sweetheart, he said.
41:02I was thinking the exact same thing.
41:03Out of nowhere,
41:04he pulled out a magic ring
41:06and slipped it onto my finger.
41:07It was one I'd loved a long time ago,
41:10the one I could never bring myself to buy.
41:12The moment the ring settled at the base of my finger,
41:15a voice came from the ground.
41:16It was Caius.
41:18Lena loves me, he said.
41:20I have a ring too.
41:21See?
41:22The one you begged me to make you back then.
41:24In his hand,
41:26Caius held up a silver ring.
41:28All those years ago,
41:29I'd fallen in love with those magic silver rings.
41:31I begged Caius for so long to make one for me.
41:35He finally agreed.
41:37Every day I waited,
41:38hoping he'd finish it and give it to me.
41:40But when it was done,
41:42it just disappeared.
41:43Days later,
41:44I saw the exact same ring on Isa's finger.
41:47I told myself it was a coincidence.
41:49Those magic silver rings all looked alike.
41:52Unless Caius actually said he'd given it to her,
41:55it wasn't true.
41:56That's what I told myself.
41:58And just like that,
41:59I fooled myself one more time.
42:01I stepped out of Caspian's arms
42:03and walked over to Caius.
42:04He held up the silver ring,
42:06pushing it toward me,
42:07desperate for me to see it.
42:09The way I'd spent ten years
42:10being desperate for him to see me.
42:12Caius,
42:13some things,
42:14once they're missed,
42:15they can't be fixed.
42:17People too.
42:19No, Lena.
42:20Give me a chance to make it right.
42:21I really want to bond with you.
42:23It wasn't until after you left
42:24that I realized
42:25I never loved Isa.
42:26It was always you.
42:28The way I felt about her,
42:30that was just instinct.
42:31I just didn't want to be weaker than Wesley.
42:34I said flatly,
42:35Caius,
42:36do you remember that time
42:37I actually touched your tail
42:39and you said it was disgusting?
42:40Do you remember when I was covered in wounds
42:42from a beast attack
42:42and you kicked me out of the house
42:44because you didn't want to smell the blood?
42:46And do you remember pushing me off a cliff
42:47just to protect Isa?
42:49He had no answer to any of it.
42:51Then he shifted,
42:52letting his tail form
42:53and placing it in front of me.
42:55Lena, I was wrong.
42:56Do whatever you want to me.
42:57I only tricked you into coming here
42:58because I wanted to become a dragon
43:00as fast as I could
43:00so I could protect you.
43:01I want to be with you forever.
43:03I love you.
43:04Back then,
43:04I used to think Caius' tail was beautiful.
43:07Now I felt nothing.
43:08I said quietly,
43:09It's too late for all that, Caius.
43:11But I do have to thank you.
43:13Because of you,
43:14I met Caspian.
43:15Caius stayed kneeling where he was.
43:17His fingernails dug deep into the ground,
43:19carving long grooves.
43:20He looked up at me,
43:21the corners of his eyes burning red.
43:24Lena,
43:25you already knew,
43:27didn't you?
43:27I knew what he was asking.
43:29About Caspian's true identity?
43:31Or about his own ugly intentions?
43:33Maybe both.
43:35I didn't answer.
43:36I just turned my gaze into the distance.
43:39Caspian's arm tightened around my waist.
43:41His voice rang out loud and clear
43:43for everyone to hear.
43:44Do you all really not remember
43:46why the true dragons
43:47vanished from this continent
43:48and why they've returned?
43:50I just turned.
43:50I just turned.
