Dad’s Luna Killed My Mom New Ep,21 SM
Transcript
00:00Dad was the Lycan's eldest son, the future Lycan.
00:03After he was chosen as heir, he married Mira, Mom's maid, an Omega.
00:07Dad made Mira his future Luna.
00:10Mom became her slave.
00:11Mira claimed Mom had mistreated her before, just seeing Mom's face scared her.
00:16So Dad slashed Mom's face with a silver dagger, calling it punishment.
00:20Later, during a royal hunt, Mira injured the Luna's youngest son fighting over prey.
00:27The Lyman was furious and demanded that Mira be punished.
00:30Dad's eyes were bloodshot.
00:33He begged my pregnant ma to take the punishment for Mira.
00:35She didn't mean it.
00:36She didn't mean it.
00:38Take the punishment for her.
00:40I swear this is the last time.
00:41I'll keep her in line and make it up to you.
00:44Mom agreed calmly.
00:48She was whipped and miscarried.
00:50Servants rushed in and out of her room.
00:52They kept carrying out basins of blood.
00:54I grabbed Mom's hand and felt the weakness in it.
00:56Mom, are you...
00:58Are you going to die?
01:00Mom, I don't want you to die.
01:02I'm fine.
01:03I won't die.
01:07I'm going home.
01:08But Mom, we don't have a home anymore.
01:12Mira claimed the Raviska family had mistreated her, so Dad framed my grandfather for colluding
01:17with the enemy.
01:18He only meant to scare Mom at first, but Mira left the forged evidence in the palace.
01:22The Lithen, enraged, ordered my grandfather executed, a Gamma war hero.
01:27Mom begged Dad to explain.
01:30Mira was already lowborn.
01:32If people found out she forged evidence to frame someone, what would they say about her?
01:36So he forged more evidence and sealed the case against my grandfather.
01:41Grandpa was stripped of his title and executed.
01:43The entire Raviska family was cast out as rogues, their lands were confiscated, and their close
01:48here were exiled from the kingdom.
01:50Some took their own lives.
01:52Others wasted away in grief.
01:54I threw my arms around Mom, sobbing.
01:56I don't want you to die.
01:58I can't lose you too.
02:00Just then, a tall figure loomed behind me.
02:03Dad sat me on his lap and stroked Mom's face.
02:06His eyes were full of heartache.
02:07I know you blame me for not thinking of our unborn child, but you can't scare her like
02:13this by talking about dying.
02:15I know I've wronged you both.
02:17I brought some things.
02:19See if there's anything you like.
02:21He always did this.
02:23Whenever he messed up, he brought gifts as if that made up for it.
02:26Mom didn't even look.
02:28They were all the things Mira didn't want.
02:30Her gaze fell on the moonstone pendant around Dad Dad's neck.
02:33She struggled to lift a hand and pointed at it.
02:36You gave me this as a token of our love.
02:38Mom's eyes were empty.
02:40I gave it to the man I loved.
02:43You're not him anymore, so I want it back.
02:47Pain flickered in Dad's eyes.
02:49His voice turned harny.
02:51I was wrong, but Mira's suffered enough and she's too proud to bend.
02:55After she was dishonored, she wanted to die.
02:58I bonded with her only to save her.
03:00You're the one I truly love.
03:02He said that every time.
03:03I knew he was lying.
03:05He had already fallen for Mira.
03:09So to save her, you'd even deceive the moon goddess?
03:12The moon goddess will understand.
03:14Mom used to tell me I should marry a man who truly loved me.
03:18Someone like Dad, who would cook for his wife.
03:20But later, Dad gave all the best things to Mira.
03:23Even the things Grandpa left for Mom were given to Mira.
03:26Now, Mom held out her trembling hand and asked for the pendant.
03:29But Dad refused.
03:31Just then, one of Mira's maids hurried in.
03:34Prince Lucius, future Luna was badly frightened.
03:37May I ask your highness to go to her?
03:39Dad shoved me aside.
03:40I nearly stumbled.
03:42But Mom caught the hem of his shirt.
03:44She would not let him leave yet.
03:46Give it to me.
03:47Mom fixed him with a cold stare.
03:50Dad reluctantly tore off the pendant and threw it onto the bed.
03:53Mom closed her eyes.
03:55Exhausted.
03:56Mom had barely gotten a moment to rest.
03:59Then Dad came back in with Mira.
04:01Mira's feeling homesick.
04:03She wants the berry sorbet she used to have at the Ravska state.
04:07Serafina, only you can make it now.
04:09Mom didn't even react when Dad brought up the Ravska family.
04:13Her voice was faint.
04:14I'm covered in blood.
04:16I'm in no state to appear before your highness in the future Luna.
04:20Mira bit her lip through her tears.
04:22Then she dropped to her knees.
04:24I'm sorry for what I did to you, to your child, and to the Ravska family.
04:30Dad immediately helped her up.
04:32He looked back at Mom.
04:33His eyes turned cold and hard.
04:36He grabbed Mom and dragged her off the bed.
04:39If you refuse, Mira's going to think you still resent her.
04:41She's sensitive.
04:43Just this once, can't you tough it out?
04:44Seeing how much pain Mom was in, I can make it too.
04:49Let me make it instead.
04:51I'll make it.
04:54So this is your idea of making it up to me?
04:58Disgusting.
04:59Dad faltered for a moment, but said nothing.
05:02Mom didn't finish the berry sorbet until the next day.
05:08When I went to see her, she was covered in blood, lying on the floor.
05:12Her wolf lay weakly beside her.
05:16I ran to Dad in tears, and he was feeding Mira berry sorbet with a dotting from smile.
05:22Dad! Mom's bleeding so much! She's dying!
05:26Dad's face darkened as he rose to leave.
05:28Mira grabbed his arm.
05:30Her eyes were red.
05:32Your Highness, she must be mad about doing these things for an Omega.
05:36She wants you to feel bad for her.
05:39It's my fault.
05:40Please go see her first.
05:41I'll apologize to her myself later.
05:44Dad's eyes flared with anger.
05:46He slammed the table.
05:48She's gotten way too spoiled.
05:51She's an alpha.
05:52She's strong.
05:54It was one miscarriage.
05:56What's there to make a fuss over?
05:58He pointed at me.
05:59And you.
06:00Look at you.
06:01She's taught you to lie at this young age already, and even use this cheap trick for my favor.
06:06Go tell her I'm busy.
06:08If she wants to keep pretending, let her.
06:10I dropped to my knees, crying.
06:13I'm not lying.
06:15Mom really passed out.
06:16They all said she's dying.
06:18She lost not so much blood.
06:23Please go see her!
06:24Dad kicked me away.
06:26I slammed into a stool.
06:29My back and forehead hurt.
06:30Blood ran into my eyes.
06:32What a liar.
06:33Take her away and lock her up.
06:35They dragged me off.
06:37Then I blacked out.
06:39When I woke up, I heard familiar crying again.
06:43I struggled to the door.
06:45Then I saw Mira was in Dad's arms.
06:48Mom was kneeling on the floor.
06:49I know you hate me, but why poison the berries so bad?
06:54If I'd eaten more, I might never have children again.
06:57Mom's face was deathly pale.
06:59She swaved where she knelt.
07:01I didn't.
07:02Mira mounded Dad's shoulder.
07:04She cried even harder.
07:06Your Highness, you have to do me justice.
07:08Last night, you said you wanted me to bear you many children.
07:12Dad frowned as if in thought.
07:13You're the future Luna.
07:15What you say goes.
07:16She should be punished.
07:18Make her the lowest-ranking slave.
07:19But Mira still wasn't satisfied.
07:21I was born low.
07:22My life is worth nothing.
07:24I'm already grateful for your mercy.
07:26But if you don't make an example of her,
07:28someone else may poison me next time.
07:30Dad sighed.
07:31Then tell me what you want.
07:32I'll do as you say.
07:34I'm afraid one day, if you have another child,
07:36you won't want me anymore.
07:38Dad finally made up his mind.
07:39Fine.
07:39Then make her drink Wolf Faith.
07:41Let her suffer a hundred times your pain.
07:43After this, she'll never bear children again.
07:45Lucian, I regret ever knowing you.
07:48Then he left with the future Luna.
07:50Mom let out a bitter laugh.
07:51Mom was forced to drink three large bowls of bitter medicine.
07:54Blood kept pouring from her mouth and between her legs.
07:57Not long after, she started rolling on the floor in pain.
08:00It stained the ground red.
08:02Mom!
08:03Mom!
08:03How is this happening?
08:05I crawled to her.
08:06I tried to heal her with magic, but it was useless.
08:08Her body was like a broken shell.
08:10Every bit of magic leaked right out.
08:12The bleeding wouldn't stop.
08:13I wanted to get up to find Dad.
08:14But Mom grabbed me.
08:16Mom was crying.
08:17Her voice was barely there.
08:19I'm fine.
08:21Don't beg him.
08:22The healers are all with Mira.
08:25I don't have much time left.
08:26It's no use.
08:28She touched my face.
08:29Her hand was cold.
08:31No.
08:32You'll be okay.
08:33You have to be.
08:35I'll find a wolf healer.
08:37I'll bring a doctor to you.
08:39I ran to the future Luna.
08:40Dad, you lied.
08:42You said Mom would be fine.
08:44He glanced at me.
08:45He was about to stand.
08:48Then the future Luna whispered to him.
08:51He sat back down.
08:52He even ordered the doors shut.
08:56They locked me outside.
08:58I walked back to Mom's room in a daze.
09:01Her breathing was weak.
09:03She looked like she was about to pass out.
09:06Her body was cold.
09:09Mom, please don't leave me.
09:12Please tell me how to save you.
09:14I was tied to her by blood.
09:16I could feel that her wolf was weak too.
09:18So weak.
09:20Mom gripped my hand tightly.
09:21Her eyes filled with tears.
09:22She looked so unwilling to let go.
09:24Stay with me tonight.
09:26I helped her lie back on the bed.
09:28I held back my tears.
09:30Then I carefully lay down beside her.
09:32Like she used to do for me.
09:34I gently patted her back.
09:35I tried to comfort her.
09:37Don't be scared, Mom.
09:38It'll be okay.
09:40You'll get better.
09:41One last tear fell from her eyes.
09:43Then she suddenly held my face.
09:47If I leave, would you come with me?
09:49Would you live somewhere new with me?
09:51There would be no prince there.
09:53No future Luna.
09:55Just you and me.
09:56Yes, I will.
09:57As long as you don't die, I'll go anywhere with you.
10:01She smiled.
10:03If you can't wake me later, don't be scared.
10:07I'll be waiting for you in another world.
10:09Just keep the brooch I gave you.
10:12Sleep with it for one night.
10:14Then you'll see me.
10:16Okay?
10:22I took the brooch from her hand.
10:25Don't lie to me.
10:27I won't.
10:28She kissed my forehead, then her breathing steadiest.
10:31She patted me to sleep.
10:32I was too tired.
10:34I fell asleep quickly.
10:35When I woke up, there was only a dead wolf beside me.
10:39It was Mom's wolf form.
10:41I held back my tears.
10:42Then I pulled the blanket over her.
10:44I held onto her fur to calm myself down.
10:47Don't be scared.
10:49I'll see Mom again soon.
10:51I had just changed clothes.
10:52Then I heard a commotion outside.
10:54I walked out to find the future Luna had been seized by the wolf guards.
10:58The Luna was furious.
11:00Were you unhappy that I punished you?
11:02So you cursed the young prince?
11:05Dad hurried to shield Mira.
11:07This has nothing to do with Mira.
11:09There must be some mistake.
11:10The limon threw a bloodstained piece of cloth at Dad's feet.
11:14Then what is this?
11:16We found a cursed signal in the garden.
11:18This scrap of fabric was stained with the young prince's blood.
11:21Dad looked at it closely.
11:23Panic flashed across his face.
11:25It was a piece from Mira's dress.
11:27Mira was the one who hurt the young prince during the hunt,
11:28so his blood got all over her dress.
11:30Serafina, the maid, was very close to Mira.
11:32She must have resented the Luna's punishment, so she tried to get revenge.
11:35Then where is she?
11:37Dad turned to look at me.
11:39Go get your mother.
11:40Now.
11:41I didn't move.
11:43I dropped to my knees.
11:45Your majesty, my mother is dead.
11:49Dad stared at me in shock.
11:50He grabbed my arm and dragged me aside.
11:52Then he lowered his voice.
11:54Mira scares easily.
11:55She didn't know it was forbidden magic.
11:57Go tell your mother this is the last time.
11:59If she takes the blame for Mira, I'll make it up to you.
12:02I felt sick.
12:03He said that every time, but never once meant it.
12:05Your majesty, my mother died last night.
12:07She really didn't do this.
12:09I stayed by her side the whole time.
12:11Dad's eyes turned cold.
12:13He slapped me across the face.
12:14What nonsense are you talking about?
12:16How could she just die?
12:17She was fine yesterday.
12:19If you keep lying, I won't spare you.
12:22But the wolf guards had already forced open Mom's door.
12:25A cry went up.
12:26Everyone watched as they carried out Mom's body.
12:29Your majesty, she is indeed dead.
12:31Dad's legs gave out.
12:33He staggered back.
12:34The fury in his eyes turned to panic.
12:37No.
12:38Impossible.
12:39How could she be dead?
12:41The lichen frowned.
12:42If she's already dead, how could she have done this?
12:45She must have killed herself out of guilt.
12:47His highness and I knew nothing.
12:49I snapped.
12:49That's a lie!
12:51You kept my mother locked up for days.
12:53You tortured her every day.
12:55How could she possibly go outside and cast forbidden magic?
12:58My mother did not kill herself.
13:00Dad made her dress like Mira to take the Luna's whipping instead.
13:03She was beaten until she miscarried.
13:04Then the future Luna accused my mother of slipping poison into her dessert.
13:08Mom was force-fed wolf bites so she could never have children again.
13:11Dad shot to his feet and glared at me.
13:13That's a lie!
13:14I replaced it with a tonic yesterday.
13:16There's no way I actually made her drink wolf's baith.
13:21She must be faking her death just to spice me!
13:23The Lyman looked disgusted.
13:25Examine the body.
13:27The result came back quickly.
13:30My mother had died from an overdose of wolfbath.
13:33Dad collapsed to the floor.
13:36I knew Mira was pretending to have been poisoned.
13:38She wanted to frame Seraphina.
13:41That's why I told the servants to replace-replace the wolfbane with a tonic!
13:46Impossible!
13:47To deceive the crown is treason.
13:49And yet you allowed this woman to harm a child of royal blood again and again?
13:53Have you forgotten your place?
13:55Mira grabbed Dad's sleeve.
13:57Your Highness.
13:59I didn't mean it.
14:01Dad dropped to his knees beside Mom.
14:02He looked completely lost.
14:04He reached out and stroked her fur.
14:06It was dull and cold now.
14:07How did this happen?
14:09How did this happen?
14:11Wake up, please.
14:12I swear I'll never make you take the blame for Mira again!
14:16He cast healing magic on her.
14:18Mom didn't move.
14:19There was no response at all.
14:21Then he finally turned to Mira.
14:24He unleashed his massive wolf, pinning her to the ground.
14:27It was you, wasn't it?
14:28You wanted her dead!
14:29I already let you stage that poisoning!
14:32I already let you punish her!
14:33So why did you still want her life?
14:35I gave you everything!
14:36What more do you want?
14:37Mira could barely breathe under the wolf's claws.
14:40She struggled to defend herself.
14:42It wasn't me!
14:43I really don't know what happened!
14:45It had to be the servants!
14:47They must have switched the medicine on their own!
14:49They're trying to frame me!
14:52At her words, the servants dropped to their knees.
14:55No!
14:55We were following future Luna's orders.
14:58She told us not to give Seraphana anything good!
15:00Any tonic had to be replaced with wolf fawn.
15:03This time, she specifically told us to increase the dose!
15:08She said we had to make sure Seraphana was seriously hurt!
15:11Even the strongest wolf couldn't survive that much wolfbane for so long!
15:15Luna frowned.
15:16Then she let out a cold laugh.
15:18Future Luna?
15:19Her wolf era burst out at once.
15:21Mira was only an Omega.
15:23She couldn't resist it.
15:24She dropped to her knees.
15:26Her wolf was forced out too.
15:27It was a gray wolf with its tail tucked, trembling all over.
15:32So you never told us that your future Luna is a lowly Omega.
15:36A future Luna could never be an Omega.
15:38So at the mating ceremony, he secretly used Mom's blood to hide the truth.
15:42And last time, it was Mom who took the punishment.
15:45That was why Luna never realized Mira was an Omega.
15:48Lucien dropped to his knees.
15:50He looked shaken.
15:52Mother, I never meant to deceive you.
15:54The lion finally lost his temper.
15:56A Luna's power is bound to the whole pack.
15:59The whole kingdom.
16:00You bonded with a lowly Omega.
16:03Did you even think about this kingdom's future?
16:07Lucio didn't dare speak.
16:09Seraphina comes from a Gamma bloodline.
16:11And you used her blood to cover for your Omega mate.
16:13You even poisoned her with wolf bait.
16:15Is there anything you wouldn't do?
16:18Lucien looked gray.
16:20I know I was wrong.
16:21Luna let out a cold laugh.
16:24Who is Mira, really?
16:27Lucien had no choice but to answer.
16:29She's Seraphina's maid.
16:31That only made Luna angrier.
16:33A maid rising above her lady was a direct insult to authority.
16:37Do you even remember who you are?
16:39Luna turned to the lion.
16:41Your majesty, Lucien has failed in his duty as the heir.
16:44The lionkin's face went pale.
16:46His white wolf bared its fangs in fury.
16:48Power surged through the air, forcing everyone to their knees.
16:51So this wasn't the first time you lied, you lied to us.
16:55The mating ceremony is sworn before the moon goddess.
16:58And you still dared to fake it.
17:00I should reconsider whether you're fit to be Lycan.
17:03Luna's eyes lit up.
17:04She quickly sees the moment.
17:05The crown prince has deceived your majesty time and again.
17:07He even condoned this Omega's plot against the other princes.
17:10Your majesty, you must seek justice for me, the young prince, and poor Seraphina.
17:14The Lycan king took a heavy breath.
17:15Throw her into the dungeon.
17:17She will be executed soon.
17:18Lucien lied to the king and acted without all sense or restraint.
17:21Confine him to his chambers and let him reflect.
17:24The lion king turned to leave.
17:25But I noticed Luna was still staring at dad.
17:27Her face was cold.
17:28Then I remembered something.
17:29Mom once told me Luna never liked dad.
17:32She nearly died giving birth to him.
17:33There were also rumors in the palace.
17:34A witch had once made a prophecy that Lucien and Luna were fated to clash.
17:38So Luna never wanted him to inherit the throne.
17:40He only became heir because he was the eldest son.
17:43One Luna truly favored was her second son.
17:46Dorian.
17:47He was brave in battle, powerful, and both smart and capable.
17:51Mom once warned me about Luna.
17:53She told me never to appear before her.
17:55After all, mom was nothing more than dad's mistress.
17:57And I was just his illegitimate daughter.
17:59My existence embarrassed the royal family.
18:01She was afraid Luna would dislike me and that it would affect my father's position.
18:05Mira was dragged away.
18:06She kept screaming.
18:07You said you would protect me!
18:10Dad ignored her.
18:11Her pleading soon turned into cursing.
18:13It was you!
18:15It's all your fault!
18:16Who are you pretending for now?
18:19She's dead!
18:21She will never come back!
18:23Dad just sat there in a daze.
18:24He held my mother's body in his arms.
18:27He cried like a man drowning in regret.
18:32It's all my fault.
18:34Shh!
18:35Serafina's sleeping.
18:37We can't wake her.
18:38I still remembered how warm things used to be.
18:41But dad ruined all of it.
18:43I glared at him.
18:45Mom is dead!
18:46You killed her!
18:47She's never coming back!
18:48I hate you!
18:49I never want to see you again!
18:51I burst into tears and ran out.
18:53But Luna was still there.
18:55In the garden, I saw her talking to one of Lucien's maids.
18:57The Lycan still hasn't given up on the crown prince.
19:00He wants that bitch to take the blame.
19:02If we don't find enough dirt to bring him down,
19:04how is Dorian supposed to become Lion?
19:06Watch him closely.
19:07Don't miss a thing.
19:08The maid looked uneasy.
19:10Lucien is too careful.
19:11It's hard to catch anything.
19:13After this, he'll probably be even more careful.
19:16I only want results.
19:17How you do it is your problem.
19:19Hatred swallowed me whole.
19:21All I could think about was revenge.
19:23For mom and for grandpa.
19:25So I wiped my tears and rushed over.
19:28I have dirt on him.
19:30Luna looked me up and down.
19:32I know who you are.
19:34Lucien and Serafina's bastard daughter, right?
19:37I dropped to my knees.
19:38I know you hate me and my mom, but I hate my dad too.
19:42Do you know who my grandfather is?
20:12For the first time, the Luna really looked at me.
20:13I wanted to use it to blackrail my mother, but Mira accidentally left the evidence behind.
20:17So he doubled down.
20:18He bribed a prisoner of war with money and intelligence and had him falsely accuse my grandfather.
20:23Luna went still, shocked and furious.
20:25Do you have proof?
20:26The proof is in my dad's study.
20:28There are letters showing he was in contact with the enemy.
20:31That's what mom told me.
20:34Please, help me avenge my mom and my grandpa.
20:36Even if it destroys me.
20:38I want them to pay.
20:39He is your father.
20:41Are you truly willing to see him punished?
20:43He doted on Mira while abusing my mom and me.
20:46Whatever bond we had, he broke it himself.
20:49The Luna smiled.
20:50Help me, and I'll make it worth your while.
20:52She turned to the wolf guards beside her.
20:56Go.
20:57Search his study.
20:59Don't let him know.
21:00Dad found me fast.
21:01He rushed over and pulled me into his arms.
21:05Ilyra, you're all I have left.
21:07Please don't leave me.
21:09If this were before, I would have been thrilled.
21:11But now, I only wanted him to pay with his life for mom's death.
21:15And I wanted this night to end, because tomorrow I'd see mom again.
21:18So I shoved him off with a cold look.
21:20He noticed at once.
21:22He looked helpless and guilty.
21:23Ilyra, I was wrong.
21:24I know I was wrong.
21:25I'll make it up to you.
21:26I promise.
21:27No one will ever wrong you again.
21:29I felt nothing.
21:31How will you make it up to me?
21:32Can you bring mom back?
21:34Dad's face went stiff.
21:35Then a group of wolf guards stormed into the palace.
21:38Crown Prince Lucian colluded with foreign lore and enemies and framed the evidence as conclusive.
21:43Lock them all up.
21:44Dad panicked.
21:45Dad panicked.
21:45He pulled me behind him.
21:46Ilyra, don't be scared.
21:47I'll protect you.
21:48I gave him a blank look.
21:50Then I shoved him aside and ran toward the guards.
21:52I don't want your protection.
21:55I want you to pay for what you did to mom and grandpa.
21:57His eyes turned red.
21:59He stared at me in disbelief.
22:00Ilyra, are you abandoning me too?
22:02You said that aside from Serfina, I was the one you loved most.
22:06Not anymore.
22:08I let out a cold laugh.
22:10I stopped loving you the first time you made mom cry.
22:13You made mom kneel in the snow and copy pages for Meera.
22:17And because of one thing Meera said, you slashed mom's face.
22:21When I begged you, did you listen?
22:23For Meera, you got my grandfather killed.
22:25Then you poisoned mom too.
22:27All I ever wanted was for you to pay for that.
22:30I'm going to find mom.
22:32I'm done with you.
22:34I stepped behind the wolf guards.
22:36I didn't want to look at him again.
22:38Then the luna walked over.
22:39The witch was right.
22:41A man like you would ruin the kingdom's future.
22:43And mine with it.
22:45She smiled at him coldly.
22:46Lucian, you may be the eldest son, but you are ordinary.
22:49You've done nothing.
22:50Even your wolf is nothing special.
22:52You are nowhere near Dorian.
22:53Do you know why you were ever named heir?
22:55Lucian's eyes shifted.
22:57He already knew he wouldn't like the answer.
22:58It was Seraphina's father.
23:00He was the one who backed you.
23:01He said you would become an excellent Lyman.
23:04The Raravenska family served the crown for generations.
23:06So he trusted his judgment.
23:08She gave a cold laugh.
23:10And because of you, the Raravenska family is gone.
23:13The people who stood by you are gone too.
23:15No, that's not true.
23:17Lucian shook his head.
23:18I was born to be the next Lycan.
23:19I'm the eldest son.
23:21I was always supposed to inherit that title.
23:24If you had been harmless, then maybe.
23:27But you are heartless.
23:28And you can't tell right from wrong.
23:31If you became Lycan, who knows how you'd treat your own brothers.
23:34You have no chance now.
23:36Take him away.
23:38Pain flashed in Lucian's eyes.
23:41Mother, do you really hate me that much?
23:44The Lunar's face didn't change.
23:47You did this to yourself.
23:50He stared into space and dropped to the floor.
23:53The guards dragged him away.
23:54Royal blood ran through my veins.
23:56And I was born into a loyal, decorated family.
23:59So the Lyman and Luna didn't punish me.
24:01They sent me to the Lyman's mother instead.
24:04You poor child.
24:05You've suffered enough.
24:06They kept sending jewels, clothes, and food to my room.
24:09It was like they were trying to make it up to me.
24:11But I knew I was leaving soon.
24:12I didn't care about any of it anymore.
24:14I took out the brooch Mom gave me.
24:17I held it tightly in my hand.
24:20Slowly, it turned warm.
24:24Mom, they're finally going to be punished.
24:27I just want to see you soon.
24:30Later, I quietly asked servants.
24:31What will happen to Lucius?
24:32The servants looked uneasy.
24:34One of the bolder ones spoke up.
24:35He's royal.
24:36He won't be punished too harshly.
24:38At most, he'll be reduced to a common wolf and be imprisoned for life.
24:41I nodded, disappointed.
24:42How could that that repay what he did to Mom?
24:45That night, as I lay in bed, I heard the servants whispering outside.
24:48Prince Lucian really went too far.
24:50I can't believe he colluded with the enemy and framed his own people.
24:53He won so much glory in battle.
24:55And this is how they repaid him.
24:59Luckily, the Lyman restored his family title.
25:02He even granted them more land.
25:06The Lycan and Luna were furious.
25:08And Mira, being torn apart still wouldn't be enough for her.
25:11Burning her alive is too easy.
25:13Anyone who used forbidden blood magic was a heretic.
25:16And heretics were burnt alive.
25:18To me, that still wouldn't be nearly enough.
25:21The servants were still talking.
25:23She even tried to defend herself.
25:25She said she only framed her to win favor.
25:27She thought the Lycan would spare her.
25:30She wet herself in front of the Lycan.
25:32So much for owning what she did.
25:34And Prince Lucian?
25:35What a joke.
25:36He used to spoil Mira so much.
25:38Now he says he'll accept any punishment as long as he's allowed to oversee her execution himself and avenge Lady
25:42Serafina.
25:43Someone gave a cold laugh.
25:44He actually made Countermort Revenster a slave and tried to make that Mega the Future Lunar instead.
25:48He was out of his mind.
25:50Before they could say more, someone snapped at them.
25:53The gossip stopped.
25:54I slipped out.
25:55I wanted to see Mira die with my own eyes.
25:58She had to pay with her life for what she did to Mom.
26:01Before I even got there, I heard her arguing with Lucian.
26:04Oh, now you want to play the devoted one?
26:05You said you would bond with me!
26:07You said you would protect me forever!
26:10She laughed like a madwoman.
26:12Lucian, do you really think they'll forgive you?
26:14They never will!
26:14If I die, you won't end well either!
26:16As I listened to them argue, all I felt was boarding.
26:20Under the bright moon, the fire burned away every stain.
26:24Mira's screams lasted until dawn.
26:26I finally let out a breath.
26:28She had paid for Mom's life.
26:30I closed my eyes, exhausted.
26:32In my dream, my body felt lighter and lighter.
26:37Mom, did you come for me?
26:39I heard people gasp.
26:40I thought I saw my mother waving at me in a beautiful dress
26:42I had never seen her wear before.
26:44I reached out and tried to run to her.
26:48But something seemed to catch in my hair.
26:51I couldn't move.
26:54Ilira, don't scare me!
26:55You're all I have left!
26:56It was Dad, crying hysterically.
26:58Someone help!
26:59Save my Ilira!
27:00She was fine just today.
27:02How did she suddenly stop breathing?
27:04The monster seemed to be trying to calm him down.
27:06She's dead.
27:06She's not coming back.
27:07Please save her!
27:07I can't live without her!
27:09Mom!
27:09Wait!
27:10I struggled to get out.
27:11But I couldn't.
27:13Then I heard Mom's voice.
27:15Take off the jeweled hair clip.
27:19Then you'll be able to leave.
27:21Dad gave it to me.
27:23And now it was trapping me.
27:25I took it off without hesitation.
27:29When I opened my eyes again, the first thing I saw was Mom's face.
27:33She looked vibrant and healthy again.
27:36She smiled at me gently.
27:38Everything here looked different from what I remembered.
27:42There were so many things I'd never seen before.
27:45It all felt unfamiliar.
27:47But Mom was still the same Mom.
27:50This place is different from that world.
27:52Here, everyone is equal.
27:55I won't let anyone hurt you again.
27:58I smiled through my tears.
27:59Then I held her as tight as I could.
28:03Mommy, what's going on?
28:05She gently striped my hair.
28:07When I went into that world, I was there for a mission.
28:10If I completed it, I'd get a reward.
28:12Money.
28:13Things like that.
28:15But then I fell in love with your dad.
28:17So I stayed there for him.
28:19But he didn't love me anymore.
28:21So I failed the mission.
28:23I could have left on my own.
28:25But I wanted to take you with me.
28:28So I traded my injury points for enough credits.
28:30And I finally brought you out with me.
28:33I was moved.
28:34And I felt guilty too.
28:37Mommy, if it weren't for me,
28:40you wouldn't have suffered so much.
28:44She held me tightly.
28:45It's all over now.
28:47She also asked me about that world.
28:48I told her like a weight had finally lifted off my chest.
28:51Mira burned to death.
28:52And dad was cast out of the royal family.
28:54They both deserved it.
28:55It was the least they owed you.
28:57Mommy didn't look hurt or pleased.
28:59She just looked calm.
29:00People have to pay for what they did.
29:02Here, I got to experience things I never had before.
29:05Mommy took me to amusement parks.
29:07She bought me all kinds of treats and read me colorful picture books.
29:10I was excited every time.
29:12Mommy, this is so fun!
29:15Mommy, this tastes so good!
29:17But one day, when she was taking me home...
29:27We ran into Dad.
29:29Mommy said Dad paid for this chance with his soul, his body, and all his power.
29:33If we forgive him within three days, he gets to live here with us as a normal man.
29:36But if we don't, he'll suffer everything I suffered.
29:39Then he'll be sent to a world with no body and wander forever as a soul.
29:43He stumbled forward.
29:44Then he fell to his knees in front of us.
29:46The moment he saw us, his face flushed red with excitement.
29:50Seraphina!
29:51Illyra!
29:52I finally get to see you again!
29:53I knew you weren't dead!
29:55He was crying and laughing at the same time.
29:57We can be together again!
29:58But by then, we felt nothing.
30:01Mommy pulled me behind her.
30:03She stared at him coldly.
30:05Who are you?
30:06We don't know you.
30:09Leave.
30:10Right now.
30:11Or I'm calling the police.
30:13Dad didn't stop.
30:15His eyes were red as he came closer.
30:17I know I failed you.
30:18I know I was wrong.
30:19I was blinded by it all.
30:21But I really love you.
30:23This past year has been hell.
30:25All I wanted was to see you again.
30:27Please, just give me one chance.
30:29Please forgive me.
30:30Let me make it right.
30:31I swear I'll never hurt you again.
30:33By the end, he was kneeling there, begging.
30:36One more chance.
30:38Please.
30:38I know I was wrong.
30:39People nearby had no idea what was happening.
30:42But they started gathering around us to watch.
30:45Who is this guy?
30:47Is this some kind of stunt?
30:48He seems insane.
30:51Mommy frowned and was about to speak.
30:53But I had already used my smartwatch to call the police.
30:57There's a man harassing me and my mommy.
31:00He's trying to force us to go with him.
31:02We don't know him.
31:04I think he's trying to kidnap me.
31:06Then they closed in around him and beat him badly.
31:12The police gave me a thumbs up.
31:14I smiled and buried myself in her arms.
31:16Dad just stared at us, helpless and desperate.
31:19Serafina!
31:20You can't do this!
31:22He cried out, but mommy ignored him.
31:24Serves you right.
31:25The cops took him away.
31:26We both insisted we didn't know him.
31:28He had no valid ID.
31:31He looked like he'd escaped from a psycho ward.
31:33So they held him for a few days.
31:37Before he was taken in, he begged mom to see him once.
31:40In the end, we went.
31:41He cried the moment he saw us.
31:43I know I was wrong.
31:45Please, just give me one chance.
31:48Please forgive me.
31:50Mira's dead too.
31:51I won't let anyone hurt you again.
31:53Then why are you still alive?
31:54Dad froze.
31:55Three days later, mom received a video.
31:58A mysterious figure appeared.
32:00They forced him to swallow Wolfbath.
32:02He rivaled on the floor in pain.
32:03His screams wouldn't stop.
32:05I was wrong.
32:06I know I was wrong.
32:07Please, let me go.
32:09He deserves far worse than this.
32:10I don't buy that last-minute redemption crap.
32:13Love?
32:14He was never anything but selfish.
32:16In that world, he lost his place as heir and was reduced to a commoner.
32:20He was locked up for life.
32:22That's why he wanted our forgiveness.
32:24He wanted a chance to start over.
32:27Mommy looked at me for a long moment.
32:31Ilyra, you really have grown up.
32:33I just see him for what he is.
32:37Mommy raised me on her own.
32:39When I turned 18, she met a man.
32:41He was good to her and good to me too.
32:44Ilyra, I want to-
32:45I already knew what mommy meant.
32:47Mommy, I'm grown up now.
32:49You don't have to worry about me anymore.
32:51Go find your own happiness.
32:52They got married when I started college.
32:54He treated me really well.
32:56He cared about my classes.
32:57He even picked out pretty clothes for me.
33:00Sometimes I caught myself wondering.
33:02Maybe this was the kind of love I'd always wanted from a dad.
33:05The kind I never had in that other world.
33:07But now, under the moonlight, everything back then feels like a dream.
33:11Like it was never real.
33:14Sometimes mommy would ask me,
33:15Do you think he's a good dad?
33:17I'd nod.
33:18After that, no one ever mentioned Lucien again.
33:21Take your time with him.
33:22Later, when I started dating, mommy kept reminding me-
33:24Watch him carefully.
33:25Don't be fooled by appearances.
33:27Mom, I know already.
33:28I kept nodding.
33:29Later, I brought my boyfriend home.
33:30Mommy and my stepdad both looked him over.
33:32You better treat my daughter right.
33:33I would never let Ilyra down.
33:34When I got married, my stepdad ran around helping with everything.
33:38He got all the wedding stuff ready.
33:40And he cried too.
33:42Mommy turned away and wiped her eyes.
33:45Ilara, you have to be happy.
33:47And if he ever hurts you, tell us.
33:49We won't let him get away with it.
33:51I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
33:53I made a little fist.
33:55Mommy, I know.
33:58I looked at the two of them walking side by side.
34:01Then I looked at my husband standing next to me.
34:03I realized this was happiness.
34:05To love someone for real.
34:07And have them stay by your side.
34:17I know I'll be even happier.
