00:00Announced me his son's mate, but on our bonding day my father's bastard daughter swapped the carriage and took my
00:06place
00:06I caught it stopped the ceremony had her dragged out and sold to the pleasure dens
00:11I entered the crown den just like I was supposed to
00:13Then on the day I went into labor the healer said the pup was breach both of us might not
00:19survive
00:19That's when kale walked in the lichen prince who had always given me everything
00:24I wanted he walked in with her standing right beside him
00:36Alara if you hadn't lied about being born luna why would I have ever been forced to bond with you?
00:43Your mother is already in the warrior camps now. It's your turn to taste the feeling of losing everything
00:52Bella leaned close to my ear that luna seat you wanted that man you wanted
01:00They can only ever be mine
01:02I died right there consumed by rage when I opened my eyes
01:06I was back back on the day of the bonding ceremony this time
01:10I decided to give them exactly what they wanted
01:13I am born under the moon's blessing, but the alpha throne there is no reason it has to be his
01:19The drums outside snapped me back white silk everywhere. I was reborn through the curtain. I heard my mother crying
01:26Alara once you pass through those gates. I can't protect you anymore
01:31Hold your temper never speak against kale
01:33I felt the ache hit me hard last time. It was this exact moment. I noticed something was wrong
01:39I walked off my carriage filed a complaint on the spot dragged Bella right back out of that carriage
01:44The lichen king wanted her executed
01:46My father had to kneel and use our ancestral honor seal just to keep her alive
01:51What I never knew was that kale had been secretly sending her money the whole time waiting for my weakest
01:57moment
01:57To destroy me thinking about their faces still made me sick. This time I sat still
02:02I waited just as the carriage was about to move. I heard hooves then a voice
02:07I knew too well
02:08Stop my body went cold the second
02:10I heard it that voice in my past life
02:13He used that same voice to whisper sweet things to me right before he threw me into the abyss
02:18Kale blocked the whole procession walked straight to the main carriage pulled Bella out himself
02:23How is this the bastard daughter?
02:26The lichen king chose the illegitimate daughter
02:28How was the carriage swapped?
02:30This is an act of deceiving the king
02:32Kale didn't hear any of it. His eyes were only on her
02:34Thank the moon we made it in time
02:36Bella
02:37This time I will make you my mate
02:40I swear it
02:41A cold shock ran through me. He was reborn too
02:44Bella was flustered, but she couldn't hide how smug she was
02:49My mother pushed through the crowd
02:51Why is it you? Where is my Alara? Where have you hidden her?
02:55Kale shoved her aside
02:58The lunar seat belongs to Bella alone
03:02I already told his majesty
03:04A wolf like Alara who spreads lies cannot enter the stronghold
03:09The argument outside kept getting louder
03:11I lifted the curtain and stepped down. My mother saw me in plain clothes
03:14Everything that was supposed to be mine was draped on Bella
03:18She snapped at Bella immediately
03:21The alpha gave you permission to attend out of compassion and you had the nerve to steal the luma seat
03:30This was commanded by his majesty's own decree
03:34Do you want the whole blackwood pack buried with you?
03:36Bella and I love each other
03:38If Alara hadn't made up that born lunar trick
03:42She isn't even worthy of being in my presence
03:45His majesty knows everything now
03:46The decree will be withdrawn
03:49I will never recognize this bonding
03:51Sister, I don't know why the carriage was changed
03:54But since this is Kale's wish, I dare not argue
03:59Alara, be sensible
04:00Don't disgrace the blackwood pack
04:02I congratulate the Lyman prince on getting exactly what he desires
04:06He forgot something
04:07I didn't need him to be myself
04:09But whether he could hold that throne
04:12That was another matter entirely
04:15Kale looked surprised
04:16He snorted and walked away with Bella
04:18The crowd watched them go
04:21I stood alone in the road in my bonding robes
04:24My mother gripped my hand and turned on my father
04:27Edmund Blackford, this is the bastard you insisted on keeping
04:30She had the nerve to scheme against Alara
04:33If you don't fix this
04:36I want a separation
04:37My father said nothing
04:39Mother, don't be angry
04:40I chose not to bond with him
04:43Isn't it good to have me by your side forever?
04:49Yes
04:50My daughter was born under the moon's blessing
04:53Go back to your room and have a rest
04:54Today you were wronged
04:56But Kale already has his majesty's approval
04:58I can't help you
05:00You are always refined and sensible far more than Bella
05:03But the whole territory knows you were supposed to be bonded today
05:06If you stay home now, everyone will talk
05:08The Blackwood Pack will be the laughingstock of the territory
05:11I cut him off
05:12So father wants me to be that laughingstock?
05:15A legitimate daughter
05:16The king's chosen mate stolen by a bastard
05:19And now I'm supposed to step aside to cover it up?
05:22Before nightfall, I'd already be everyone's gossip
05:25Father, your real fear is I still want the lunar suit
05:29That I'll create a war between sisters
05:31And expose how you favored a low she-wolf
05:35Allowed a bastard to steal the legitimate daughter's bonding
05:38Ruined the Blackwood Alpha's reputation
05:40If I willingly bond with someone else, he could spin it as my own failure
05:44If you want me to bond, I will bond
05:48But I choose who
05:50Otherwise, I bring everything before his majesty
05:54Every detail about the she-wolf you kept
05:57The bonding switch made against the royal recue
05:59Kale claimed the king approved the swap
06:02But they definitely did not tell the king that Bella was an illegitimate bastard
06:06With the royal bloodline's honor at stake, his majesty would be furious
06:12My father's eyes narrowed
06:14He pulled his hand back
06:15It seems Alara already has someone in mind
06:17I didn't bother softening it
06:19Is there a lone wolf in the scholar's hall called Ash Mercer?
06:23I want him
06:24My father's face went dark immediately
06:26Out of the question!
06:27The Blackwood Pack's legitimate daughter
06:29Letting some penniless rogue caught her
06:31Even if he can read a few words, he will never set foot in this pack house
06:36I raised an eyebrow
06:37Didn't father just say I could choose?
06:39Now you change your mind the moment you look at his background
06:42Or maybe having one crown lunar isn't enough
06:44Maybe father still wants to trade me for more power
06:47And perhaps even
06:49I covered my mouth fast
06:50Put on a shocked look
06:52My father glanced around at the guests and rebuked me
06:55Enough
06:55I watched him pace and found it laughable
06:57In his eyes, I was probably nothing like the obedient daughter he used to know
07:02Fine, since you want to bond, then let it be as you say
07:04He turned to leave
07:05I called after him
07:06One more thing
07:07My bonding gifts must be double what Bella received
07:10A legitimate daughter versus a bastard
07:13Is that too much?
07:14He gritted his teeth
07:16Granted
07:17I also want a separation document between you and mother
07:21If you won't give it, I'll bring mother before his majesty and let the king decide
07:25Ungrateful child
07:26But I knew he had agreed
07:27In my past life and this one
07:29I must protect you
07:30He only ever cared about his face
07:31Even if they cannot see it
07:32I sent riders to find Ash Mercer immediately
07:35I have a task for you
07:36I told him to come in three days with bonding gifts
07:37I want you to find someone
07:38For the Lady Ellara
07:39Every word shaking with nervous sincerity
07:42To be favored by the pack princess
07:44The princess is Ash's great fortune
07:46I will prepare a hundred mile procession and see you bonded in splendor
07:50I laughed softly
07:51What I didn't expect
07:53Before Ash Mercer even arrived
07:55Kale came back to the pack house with Bella
07:59A few days later
08:01I was drinking tea with my mother in the main hall
08:05You see the Lycan prince and his luna and still you do not bow
08:09Are you waiting to be punished?
08:11Before I could respond
08:12His attendant sees both of us
08:25Has the Lion King's register recorded Bella's name?
08:29If not and you're already calling her Crown Luna
08:32You're flouting his majesty's own decree
08:35Why would I bow to a lion prince who ignores pack law and deceives his king?
08:41My lord
08:42Everyone knows sister has 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
09:05The finest wolves in the territory would line up for you
09:08I've had nothing from the beginning
09:11Even seeing our father once was nearly impossible
09:14I only reached for this one small warmth
09:18So knowing full well the royal decree couldn't be refused
09:21You secretly arranged your bonding behind the king's back
09:24Risked the entire blackwood pack
09:26On the day of the ceremony
09:29All for your uncontrollable feelings
09:49Kale stared at the blood at my mouth
10:01Kale stared at the blood at my mouth
10:01How many lives do you have to spend on defiance?
10:06Shameless creature!
10:09Ellara doesn't lower herself to argue with you
10:11What does it matter that you clawed your way onto a high branch?
10:15A sparrow can't become a true wolf no matter how high she flies
10:24You're looking to die
10:27Stop!
10:28Is this how the future Lycan King treats pack members?
10:31Taking lives without cause
10:33You can't even be sure you'll hold the alpha throne
10:36His majesty is still strong and healthy
10:38Coveting 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 with tears in her eyes
11:08It's all my fault
11:09Please cast me out and give sister the lunar seat back
11:16What kind of nonsense is that?
11:19You are the only one I will ever claim as my mate
11:24Since they've made you this miserable
11:27Shall I have them thrown into the punishment den and flayed alive?
11:32Too easy your anger
11:34I stared at him and the memories flooded back
11:37Last time I was near the end of my labor
11:40When he brought Bella to parade in front of my bedside
11:42To vent Bella's anger he had my mother bound and sent to the warrior camp
11:47Where she became a slave for any wolf to use as they pleased
11:53When I finally saw my mother again she was already a broken corpse
11:58Every bone shattered
12:00I died consumed by rage
12:03I couldn't even kill him with my own hands
12:05Being reborn I swore to myself I would never let my mother be harmed again
12:10Not even a fraction
12:12Bella was still crying beside us
12:14How could that be?
12:17The lady is the mistress of this house
12:19Who am I to give her orders?
12:22You are now the crown Luna
12:25You deserves this position
12:26This one who has already taken a separation is of no account
12:30Kale ignored her and commanded his attendants to seize my mother
12:39Kale, wrongdoing should not extend to family
12:43If you have a quarrel bring it to me
12:48You think I dare not
12:50I'll grant your wish right now
13:02Want to save your mother?
13:05Kneel and slap yourself an apology to Bella
13:09I'll release her when she says she's satisfied
13:21I'll kneel
13:23Let go of my mother
13:32The slap and the apology
13:34A liar won short and your mother loses a finger
13:52I stared at my mother, collapsed unconscious on the floor
13:55My tears were already gone
13:57I couldn't even curse
13:58All I could do was keep striking my face to bloody red
14:01Biting my lip until it broke
14:05I beg the crown Luna's forgiveness
14:08I was blind and without sense
14:11Bella watched me in silence
14:13Oh my lord, have them stop
14:16The sister's forehead is bleeding
14:18Has my Bella's anger eased yet?
14:20The triumph barely contained on her face
14:22Let sister rise
14:25After all, I still want sister to come into the stronghold and take care of me
14:28Kale laughed
14:30Fine
14:32Having shared blood as your personal attendant will mean better care
14:35I know you have yearned for me and couldn't have me
14:38Now I give you the chance to see me every day
14:40You should be thanking Bella for her generous heart
14:43Who would bond with someone selfish
14:46And with very little time left to live
14:49His face transformed instantly
14:53He raised his blade to run me through
14:55Bold words
14:57Let me see just how hard your spine really is
15:00From the entrance came one announcement
15:02The royal decree arrives
15:04Kale froze
15:05Released me
15:07Knelt with everyone else
15:09His face still venomous
15:10My heart dropped back into my chest
15:12I clung to the last thread of strength and knelt
15:15Elder Haze walked in
15:16The Lycan King's most trusted attendant
15:19By the will of His Majesty the Lion King
15:21Summon Kale, Elera, and Bella to the royal stronghold at once
15:25Kale had no idea what this meant
15:27He looked at Elder Haze without respect
15:29Is that all?
15:30Did His Majesty say nothing else?
15:33Or did you bungle the King's message?
15:35Shall I have your head removed?
15:37Elder Haze gave him a sideways glance
15:39Lion Prince
15:40This servant dares not guess at His Majesty's intent
15:44All will be known once you enter the stronghold
15:47Maybe the King wants to grant us the bonding in person
15:51He summons Sister too
15:53His Majesty is thorough
15:56He won't let us be wronged
15:57Kale's brow eased slightly
15:59He glanced back at me with contempt
16:02Are you not going to go change into something presentable?
16:05Appearing before the King covered in blood is a disgrace
16:08I pressed my wounded palm and started to turn away
16:11Elder Haze spoke up
16:13His Majesty's intent is immediate departure
16:17If we are late, are you prepared to answer for it?
16:20I slipped a silver coin into Elder Haze's palm
16:23Coaxed a warm smile from him
16:27This servant thanks the young lady
16:29I tidied my hair as best I could
16:32Kale boarded a separate one behind us
16:35I was still departing together with him after all
16:40How unlucky
16:41The carriage moved down the long avenue
16:44My palms still seeped blood soaking through my sleeve
16:47I thought about what Elder Haze just did for me
16:50And I began to understand what I needed to do
16:53In my past life, Elder Haze was the Liking King's most capable attendant
16:58After Kale took the throne
17:00All because he dared to counsel openly
17:02Kale had his tongue cut out in front of the whole court
17:05Then beaten to death, blow by blow
17:09By that time, I was already a wandering primal spirit
17:14I watched him bleed out on the stones
17:16The sorrow I felt had no words
17:18I wrapped my wound with a clean cloth from my sleeve
17:21Called out through the curtain quietly
17:23Elder Haze
17:25What does the young lady require?
17:27You have served at His Majesty's side for many years
17:30What do you know to be the one thing most forbidden within these walls?
17:33A servant who waits on others
17:35Who am I to speak freely of the stronghold's rules?
17:39Is the young lady testing me?
17:41You are a clever wolf and you should not remain buried
17:44I have only one question
17:47If someone sought to overturn the order of this stronghold one day
17:50Would you go with the current?
17:52Or hold to your own conscience?
17:55After a moment, he dropped his voice lower
17:57This servant has known only one master in this life
18:01The one seated upon the alpha throne
18:03Should anyone harbour thoughts toward what is not theirs to have
18:07This servant will be the first to refuse them
18:09I understood completely
18:12With those words from you, I am at ease
18:15Elder Haze said nothing more
18:17Just gave me one long, meaningful look
18:21Move along
18:22Do not keep His Majesty waiting
18:25The carriages halted before the stronghold gate
18:29Elder Haze led us through the long passage toward the Lycan King's Hall
18:32The whole way there, Bella pressed close to Kale
18:35Kept flicking glances at me with a smirk she couldn't hide
18:39Kale strode like someone who had already won
18:42I laughed coldly inside
18:43Laugh while you still can
18:45In the hall, I knelt before the throne and paid my respects properly
18:49This subject, Allara Blackwood, greets His Majesty
18:53May His Majesty have 10,000 years of reign
18:57Your son greets his royal father
18:59May His Majesty be well
19:01The Lycan Prince is actually willing to call me Royal Father
19:06What an enormous honour
19:08The entire hall went dead silent
19:10Every person dropped to their knees
19:13Your son would never dare
19:16We beg His Majesty to see clearly
19:18The Lycan King descended from the high seat
19:21Face dark as a storm
19:22Eyes bearing down on Kale like a death sentence
19:25You dare to issue false royal decrees in my name now
19:28What is there left that you cannot do?
19:31Kale and Bella both went completely still
19:34Kale's mind went blank for a second
19:36His gaze snapped to me
19:37Your Majesty, your son would never dare commit this crime
19:41It was her
19:42She withdrew from the bonding first
19:44Deliberately pulled Bella forward to take the blame
19:47Your son didn't want to shame the royal name
19:50That's why it came to this
19:52Your Majesty, I knows nothing
19:55I truly don't understand why Sister would frame us like this
19:58Allara has been willful since childhood
20:01Abusing her status as the legitimate daughter
20:04Your son could not bring himself to bond with someone of that character
20:08If there is any fault, it rests entirely with your son
20:12It has nothing to do with Bella
20:13Listening to him twist everything, I felt nothing
20:16In my past life, he did the same
20:18Threw every drop of filth onto me
20:20Elevated Bella into an innocent, untouched soul
20:23This time, I was no longer the Allara who could be slaughtered as she lay
20:27I watched their desperate scrambling and let out a cold laugh
20:31Turned and spoke without flinching
20:33Your Majesty, the one who ordered the bonding carriage swapped
20:35Was someone from the Lycan Prince's own side
20:38She bribed the Blackwood Pack steward
20:41Had the ceremony attendant conceal everything
20:44Stripped away every gift my mother prepared
20:46Worked with the Lycan Prince to force the bonding through as a done deal
20:51I did not
20:54Your Majesty, your son swears on his life
20:56Bella is kind-hearted by nature
20:58She could never do something like this
21:08By your account, every single one of them has grown bold enough to deceive me to my face
21:14The complaints spread across the floor, dense text covering the entire document
21:18Cale picked it up with shaking hands
21:20After only a few lines, his face turned a sickly mix of white and green
21:24I watched his fingers tremble, sweat breaking out on his brow
21:28Bella crumpled to the ground, so shaken she forgot how to cry
21:33I was deeply satisfied inside, but I showed nothing
21:36Just kept my gaze down on those ink-red words on the floor
21:39That was the Pack Steward's signed confession from the Pack Justice Hall
21:42Every detail
21:43How he received Bella's payment
21:45How he bribed the ceremony attendant
21:48How the carriage was swapped
21:50The moment I was reborn
21:52I had him seized and delivered to the Pack Justice Hall overnight
21:56Under hard interrogation, what little backbone he had turned to dust
22:00My father had plenty of enemies in court
22:03Finding wolves willing to file the petition wasn't difficult
22:06But this wasn't even the most damning piece
22:09The truly fatal surprise I had hidden inside the petition
22:11Was a set of healing records from the Pack Healers Archive
22:14Documenting how the High Consort, before she ever carried a child
22:18Had suffered an injury that left her permanently unable to conceive
22:22His Majesty had already verified those records
22:25There was no other explanation for the wave of murderous intent in his eyes
22:29Cale was still fighting, crawling on his knees, pressing his brow into the cold stone floor
22:34Your Majesty, this must be fabricated
22:38The Pack Steward was bought to drive a wedge between father and son
22:43He raised his head, showing blood from the kneeling
22:45Your Majesty, your son was raised by your hand
22:48Named Lyon Prince by your decree
22:51Has your son ever shown one moment of disloyalty?
22:55The Lycan King narrowed his eyes but said nothing
22:57Cale took that as an opening
23:00It must be Alara
23:02She acts out of scorned bitterness
23:04She's been plotting to destroy me from the beginning
23:08I watched them coldly and finally spoke
23:11The Lycan Prince keeps saying I act out of scorned bitterness
23:14I dare to ask the Lyman Prince one question
23:17On the day of our bonding ceremony
23:19Why did you take Bella and fled the territory in secret?
23:23Cale's face went rigid
23:25Your carriage that day was stocked with three months of rations and travel funds
23:30And border crossing papers
23:32If His Majesty truly approved, why would you not arrive with a full procession to claim your mate properly?
23:36Why flee in that frantic furtive way?
23:38He opened and closed his mouth
23:40You are making wild accusations
23:42This Lycan Prince has never fled anywhere
23:44I gave a faint smile and drew a letter from my sleeve
23:47Please allow His Majesty to review this
23:50It is correspondence between the Lycan Prince and Bella
23:53It details how to swap the carriage
23:55How to proceed without permission
23:57How to use the deed already done to force His Majesty's hand
24:01The Lycan Prince's private seal appears at the close
24:04Elder Hayes received the letter and placed it before the royal seat
24:07Every trace of color drained from Cale's face
24:10In my past life, I stumbled upon this letter in Cale's hidden compartment
24:15In my final dying moments
24:17I was powerless then
24:18Could only watch as he burned it to ash
24:21This life, I moved before him
24:23On the second day after I was reborn, I had a copy made of that key
24:28That letter was now resting quietly on the Lycan King's hand
24:32The Lycan King unfolded the paper and scanned it in one sweep
24:36Then he laughed, cold as something seeping up from the ground
24:40Every spine in the room went rigid
24:43Very good, very good indeed
24:46He folded the letter slowly and handed it to Elder Hayes
24:51A son I raised for 20 years and in the end he is another wolf's blood entirely
24:56Cale's whole body jolted
24:58He stared in stunned disbelief
25:00Your Majesty
25:03What are you saying?
25:04Raised his hand toward Elder Hayes
25:06Bring that out, let him see
25:11His gaze traveled between the king and my face
25:14Finally fixed on me
25:15His eyes churning with disbelief and hatred
25:18Alara, what have you done?
25:21I did not answer
25:21Elder Hayes returned, carrying a gilded wooden case
25:24Inside were yellowed medical records and a sealed blood kin test report
25:29Twenty-three years ago, the High Consort, bitter over my neglect, gave in to her resentment
25:34While confined to the exile wing, she took a guard as her secret lover and conceived an illegitimate pup
25:40Because her body had been damaged, a miscarriage would have destroyed her last chance at motherhood
25:44So she kept the pup hidden and gave birth in secret
25:48That illegitimate pup is you
25:52Kale
25:53Kale knelt on the floor
25:54No
25:56Impossible
25:57I am the Lycan prince
25:58I am the firstborn legitimate heir
26:01How could I possibly be?
26:02Your Majesty, there must be an error!
26:07How could the Lion prince not be?
26:09How could he possibly be?
26:10The Lycan king did not look at her at all
26:14Guards! Guards!
26:15Remove his Lilan prince's robes
26:18He is stripped of all rank, exiled to the borderlands, never permitted to return
26:22Since you have been so devoted to him through all of this, I will grant your wish
26:27You are to accompany him for the rest of your days
26:29No separation shall ever be permitted
26:34She opened her mouth to say something, then realized Kale was looking at her
26:38Those eyes cold as a vipers, her whole body shuddered
26:42It was all you, if you hadn't pushed me to it
26:46If it weren't for you
26:47What are you saying?
26:48It was you who, who ruined me!
26:51If not for you, this rotten she-wolf, I would never have come to this!
26:56I should have been the king! I should have been!
26:58Bella clutched her throat, Kale was restrained and still
27:02But either of them again, raised his hand and signaled the guards to drag them away
27:08Then, Kale wrenched free of the guards and lunged straight at me
27:11Elara! I am going to kill you!
27:14His hand hadn't even grazed my clothes before guards pinned him to the ground
27:18He struggled to raise his head
27:19You will definitely regret this
27:21That once handsome face, now a mask of savagery
27:24You will definitely regret this
27:27I looked at him, and inside, I was oddly calm
27:30My palms still throbbed
27:31He had stabbed it with a blade not long ago
27:33My abdomen still ached
27:34He had driven his boot into it not long ago
27:36But in my heart, there was only the lightness of a burden finally lifted
27:39He could never hurt me again
27:41Kale was dragged away
27:42Bella was escorted out after him
27:45Her echoed down the long passage and dissolved into the stronghold walls
27:49The hall held only me, the lichen king, and a handful of attendants
27:53He stood with his back to me
27:54That imperial gold figure casting a long shadow across the stone floor
27:59After a silence, he finally spoke
28:01Elara
28:03I knelt respectfully
28:05This subject is here
28:07He turned to face me, studied me for a long moment
28:11You are a clever child
28:13This subject would not dare
28:16This subject only could not bear to watch someone deceive his majesty
28:20Nor bear to see someone taint the royal bloodline with a false air
28:24The lichen king's eyes deepened
28:27His voice carried a thread of exhaustion that was almost imperceptible
28:30I was deceived for 23 years
28:34Looked in that moment like nothing more than an old wolf who had been lied to for half his days
28:39I did not speak
28:40Some things were not mine to say
28:42After a long while
28:44Take her to the side chamber to rest
28:46Have the healer come for her wounds
28:49He glanced at me once more
28:52I still have one matter to attend to
28:54You should be present
28:55I knew exactly what that matter was
28:57Elder Haze led me out through a covered walkway and into the side chamber
29:01Simple and elegant
29:03A light drift of alpha musk incense curling from the burner
29:06Young lady, please wait here
29:08This servant will fetch the healer
29:10Elder Haze
29:13Thank you for speaking up just now
29:15Otherwise I might not have even had a chance to tidy myself before appearing before the king
29:21Drouched in blood
29:22He deflected twice, but in the end accepted it
29:25Young lady is too kind
29:28This servant only followed the proper rules
29:30It amounted to nothing
29:31He hesitated, then stepped closer
29:33Does the young lady know who else his majesty summoned today?
29:37The answer had already taken shape in my mind
29:40The young lady is of great buffing
29:43Those with great blessing naturally meet with great fortune
29:46I sat alone while servants cleaned my wounds and applied medicine
29:51It nearly severed a tendon
29:53It would likely leave a scar
29:56No matter, let it scar
29:58This scar would be the most precious mark of this life
30:02A reminder of the abyss I survived
30:04A reminder that I would never let anyone wound me like that again
