00:00My sister Isolde and I bought two mermen at the underground magical creature auction in Black Reef Harbour.
00:05She picked the most robust elder brother and pushed the younger one, whose tail fin was torn, and whose scales
00:10had almost peeled off, onto me.
00:12To save him, I gave my lifeblood for 49 consecutive days, ventured through all the forbidden depths of the ocean
00:18to find magical herbs,
00:19and helped him awaken his bloodline to become the legendary king of the deep sea mermen.
00:23Yet, even after we forged the soulmate contract, he remained cold and distant.
00:28I thought it was just his nature, until the day Isolde was seriously injured.
00:32He kicked open my door and personally drained the last drop of lifeblood from my chest.
00:37His voice was as cold as the 10,000-year-old ice in the deep sea.
00:41If it hadn't been for you, she would have taken me with her back then. You tore us apart!
00:45When I opened my eyes again, I was back at that auction.
00:48The soulmate contract is a 200-year-old deep sea blood pact of the Blackwood family.
00:52200 years ago, on the brink of bankruptcy, the family signed a pact with the deep sea mermen tribe.
00:58Every generation of women must enter into a soulmate contract, with a merman, to inherit control over the transatlantic maritime
01:04trade, and magical talents.
01:06The stronger the merman, the higher the wealth and status of his mistress.
01:10The annual Deep Sea Gladiator Festival is held in the underwater arena of Black Reef Harbor.
01:15The winner is crowned king of the deep sea merman, rules all wild mermen, and brings endless wealth to his
01:20mistress.
01:21For the women of the Blackwood family, choosing the right merman is choosing a lifetime.
01:25So, at the auction, when Isolde forced me to take the tattered merman she had rejected, I knew full well
01:30that she wanted me to be trampled under her feet for the rest of my life.
01:33But in my previous life, I still chose him.
01:36His name was Kai, a lowly merman with a torn tail fin and almost no scales left.
01:41I gave my lifeblood for 49 days, just to save his life.
01:44And then risked my life, traveling through the forbidden depths, to collect magical herbs to awaken his bloodline.
01:50In the end, he became the king of the deep sea merman.
01:53But until the day Isolde was seriously injured, he kicked open my door.
01:58Kai, what are you doing?
02:01The pain almost made me pass out, but he pressed harder, letting my blood stain the sheets.
02:24It was still the giant glass cage, glowing coldly under the kerosene lamps, filled with deep blue seawater.
02:30It was still the salty sea breeze, mixed with the smell of magical potions and money.
02:35I spotted Kai huddled in the corner of the rearmost cage at a glance.
02:39A merman's greatest pride is his tail.
02:41The tails of the other mermen shimmered like flowing silk, but Kai's tail had almost no scales left, exposing bloody
02:47flesh.
02:48He sold his finger, painted with bright red nail polish, pointed casually at the cage.
02:53Let's take these two mermens, okay?
02:55Hurry up and decide or the strongest ones will be taken by others.
02:59In my previous life, I had listened to her nonsense and agreed.
03:03Mermen were the most expensive and rarest items at the underground auction,
03:06and I had naively thought she wouldn't push the weakest one on me.
03:10But she did exactly that.
03:11For this, Lord Blackwood had thrown a huge fit.
03:14Father, this is what my sister chose herself!
03:17And just like that, Kai, who was half dead, ended up in my hands.
03:21In this life, I will never fall for her tricks again.
03:25You keep them both, sister.
03:27I want that one.
03:28I pointed to the expressionless merman in the corner and directly quoted the price.
03:31For me, it didn't matter who I chose.
03:35Leora, you're bidding too high!
03:37Father only gave us this much money!
03:40If you spend it all, what will I use?
03:43I looked at her coldly.
03:44How had I not noticed how good she was at acting in my previous life?
03:48So I pointed to Kai, who was twisting his body desperately in the cage to attract attention.
03:53That one looks pretty good too.
03:55Raise him well and he might be useful someday.
03:57If you really run out of money, just buy him.
04:00Him?
04:01Him?
04:02I wouldn't even take him as a slave!
04:04I curled my lips into a mocking smile.
04:07Poor Kai.
04:08In his previous life, he had thought I had torn him and Isolde apart, but she had never even looked
04:12at him.
04:13Just like in my previous life, Isolde finally chose the strong merman named Tork.
04:18But as I was about to leave with my merman Atlas, Kai suddenly went mad and slammed into the water
04:23wall.
04:23Everyone around laughed at him.
04:26Yo, who is he trying to get the attention of?
04:29Look at the state he's in.
04:30He should know his place.
04:32Only a fool would buy him.
04:34Watching Kai spinning around in a panic and Isolde glancing back, I frowned slightly.
04:39Could it be Kai had been reborn too?
04:41Since I didn't take Kai home this time, I naturally didn't get scolded.
04:45Atlas stood in front of me, his tail slapping the floor rhythmically.
04:48Can you turn into a human form?
04:50Atlas pressed his lips together and obediently retracted his tail.
04:54There was no trace of joy at being bought on his face.
04:58You don't want to come home with me?
05:03Atlas glanced at me faintly and didn't answer.
05:05I walked up to him and looked him straight in the eye.
05:08As far as I know, the mermans locked in those cages are divided into ranks.
05:12If you're not bought, you'll have to fight for the rest of your lives and the losers will be beaten
05:16to dead.
05:17Come with me and I can keep you safe.
05:20I'm not that useless waste with the broken tail.
05:24I smiled.
05:25He was right.
05:26What else was someone beaten that badly but a waste?
05:28If you don't want to stay, you can leave now.
05:31A glint of light flashed in Atlas' blue eyes.
05:33He was tempted.
05:34Before he could stand up, I got to my feet first.
05:39Where are you going?
05:40Since you don't want to stay?
05:42Of course I'm going to pick another merman.
05:44I'm raising a future merman king, not someone with divided loyalties.
05:49The auction is already over.
05:51Families that can afford mermans will always find a way to buy more.
05:55For the next few days, I left before dawn every day and came back very late.
05:59Atlas hadn't left yet, but I had to prepare a way out for myself.
06:03Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped onto the street that day,
06:06Kai stumbled over and threw himself at my legs, hugging them tightly.
06:19My heart skipped a beat.
06:23What did you say?
06:25Lyra, look at me.
06:27Do you really not want me anymore?
06:29Kai had indeed been reborn too.
06:30But the first thing he did after being reborn was not to go to his beloved Isolde.
06:34I kicked him away with a blank expression on my face.
06:37What are you talking about?
06:38Who is your master?
06:40Don't pestle me here.
06:42I turned to leave, but Kai chased after me again.
06:45Just as I was about to lose my temper, I saw Atlas following me not far behind.
06:49I squatted down and gave Kai a gentle smile.
06:53Your tail is hurt so badly.
06:55Did the other mermans bully you?
06:56Kai froze for a moment, then nodded desperately.
06:59Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Atlas approaching.
07:01I stroked Kai's tail gently, just as I had done in my previous life.
07:06After living together day and night in my previous life, I had healed every wound on his body.
07:11So when my hand touched his tail, Kai shivered with pleasure and kept nuzzling into my arms.
07:15Master, please take me home.
07:18Of course.
07:20Before I could finish my sentence, Atlas suddenly rushed forward, wrapped his tail around Kai,
07:24and threw him five meters away.
07:26He stood in front of me, with a dark face.
07:29I haven't left yet!
07:31Kai struggled several times after being thrown, but couldn't get up.
07:34I deliberately looked at Atlas in surprise.
07:36Why did you hit him so hard?
07:38Didn't you say you were leaving?
07:40Why are you stopping me from finding another merman?
07:44I'm not leaving!
07:45I raised the corners of my lips in satisfaction.
07:47Since he had taken this step,
07:48I would of course accept his sincerity.
07:50As for Kai, he struggled to his feet and came over again.
07:53You just said you'd take me home.
07:56Sorry.
07:57I changed my mind.
08:01Kai tried to step forward again,
08:03but Atlas's tail slammed down on the ground at his feet.
08:05Take one more step, and I'll break every bone in your body.
08:09Looking at the cracks in the ground,
08:10I nodded in satisfaction.
08:12Atlas was indeed much stronger than Kai.
08:15To prevent being betrayed again,
08:17I forced Atlas to complete the Soulmate Contract Ceremony.
08:20Can you really make me the Merman King?
08:23I didn't answer.
08:23In my previous life,
08:25I had devoted myself to raising Kai into the Merman King,
08:27but I had forgotten that the one who should be strong was myself.
08:30If Atlas performed well,
08:32the position of Merman King would be his.
08:34If he had ulterior motives,
08:36he would only be my tool for the rest of his life.
08:38If you don't want to,
08:39you can leave now.
08:41I turned to walk away,
08:43but before I could take a step out of the door,
08:45Atlas sliced open his own tail.
08:48I do.
08:51From now on,
08:53I'm yours.
08:57Get on the bed.
08:59Atlas's face turned even redder.
09:01He moved to the edge of the bed and sat down,
09:03deliberately letting his bleeding tail hang over the floor.
09:06What are you doing?
09:08Looking at his flushed face,
09:09I almost laughed out loud.
09:11I deliberately reached out and touched his tail.
09:13You should know that forging a soulmate contract means he becomes my husband.
09:18Technically,
09:18you're my husband now.
09:20Atlas didn't say anything,
09:21but his tail trembled slightly where I touched it.
09:23Our eyes met,
09:24and he suddenly closed his eyes as if resigning himself to fate.
09:27I chuckled softly,
09:28turned around,
09:29and took out the hemostatic medicine.
09:30I blew gently on his closed wound.
09:33Does it hurt?
09:35His tail swayed uncontrollably from side to side.
09:38It was the instinctive reaction of a merman feeling pleasure.
09:41Don't get it wet for the next few days.
09:43It'll be fine in two days.
09:45Does it still hurt now?
09:46You wrapped it so ugly,
09:48it doesn't match my tail at all.
09:51Hmm.
09:51Then why was his tail wagging?
09:53After Atlas's tail healed,
09:55we started training every day.
09:56Unlike in my previous life,
09:58I joined in the training this time.
10:00His strength was far beyond my imagination.
10:02One slap of his tail could crack a stone slab,
10:04and he could crush a rock with one hand.
10:06I, on the other hand,
10:07started with the most basic physical training.
10:09Training like this,
10:10you won't make any progress,
10:12even by next year.
10:15Then teach me.
10:17Teach you what?
10:18Human bodies are too fragile.
10:21I'm afraid I'll shatter you with one flick of my tail.
10:24I took a defensive stance.
10:25He looked at me for a moment,
10:27then suddenly smiled and really flipped his tail at me.
10:31You!
10:32I was already going slow.
10:34You're just slow to react.
10:35Blame me.
10:37From that day on,
10:38training became something we did together.
10:40He taught me to sense the magic in the water
10:42and see through a merman's attack moves.
10:44I improved quickly,
10:45and every time we stared at each other
10:47for more than three seconds,
10:48he would look away.
10:49We hadn't been training long
10:50when Isolde came with Tork.
10:51Oh, look at you, sister,
10:52all worn out from training.
10:53You took so long picking at the auction,
10:55I thought you'd chosen someone really impressive.
10:58Turns out he's not even half as strong as my Tork.
11:00I stopped what I was doing.
11:02I didn't say anything,
11:03but Atlas had already stepped in front of me.
11:10How dare a contracted creature talk back to me.
11:14I'm the first heir to this family.
11:16Everything here will be mine one day.
11:18Tork, teach him a lesson.
11:20Tork lunged forward.
11:21Atlas calmly pushed me to a safe place first,
11:24then met the attack.
11:25In just a few rounds,
11:26Tork was clearly at a disadvantage.
11:29Kill him!
11:30Kill him!
11:31Don't hold back!
11:32I'll take responsibility if he dies!
11:35Tork didn't react much,
11:36but Atlas's attacks became more and more vicious.
11:39Just as Atlas was about to break Tork's tail,
11:42How dare you!
11:43Lyra, this is the thing you raised?
11:45She'll he dares to hurt my man!
11:48Sister, weren't you the one
11:49who told Tork to attack first?
11:51You even gelled for him to kill Atlas.
11:54All the servants can testify to that.
11:56I'll always be your older sister,
11:58and this family will never be yours to run.
12:06I should have killed him just now.
12:09What's the rush?
12:11Isolde would hate me even more after this loss.
12:13Isolde started targeting me everywhere.
12:15I thought she would badmouth me to Lord Blackwood,
12:17but I never expected her to bring Kai home
12:19and make him a servant.
12:21Please.
12:24What are you doing here?
12:26Isolde walked over with a smile,
12:28followed by Lord Blackwood.
12:30It seems the rumors outside are true.
12:33What rumors?
12:36Leora, you've already chosen a merman.
12:39Wasn't you still menning around with the Kai,
12:41sinkfully, and your maiming your job
12:43about at them lighted,
12:44before you're roomfully rallent?
12:47Isolde looked triumphant and lifted Kai's chin with her toe.
12:51He's been asking everyone to get him into this house to be near you.
12:54If you'd said you had a relationship with him earlier,
12:57you could have just bought him at the auction.
12:59Why bother buying Atlas?
13:00Leora, if you can't clean this up properly,
13:03get out of this house!
13:07You're really something, sister.
13:09Take your time dealing with this.
13:11Kai knelt on the ground,
13:12looking up at me with longing in his eyes.
13:14If you want to stay by my sword badly, then stay.
13:17Kai started hovering around me all day.
13:20Atlas, on the other hand,
13:21had been ignoring me again lately.
13:23That day, I cornered him in the back garden,
13:25and he turned away with a dark face.
13:27Why are you looking for me?
13:29Shouldn't you be with that poor Kai right now?
13:31So that day on the street was just an act
13:33to trick me into signing the contract?
13:35The contract is already signed.
13:37Can you run away now?
13:39What, don't you want to be the Merman King anymore?
13:44Atlas glanced at me dejectedly.
13:46The Deep Sea Gladiator Festival is in two months.
13:50Whether you become the Merman King or not
13:52depends on your own performance.
13:54Really?
13:55You and Kai really have nothing going on?
13:57I almost swore an oath.
13:58Only then did he huff softly
14:00and obediently follow me back to training.
14:02We were sweating profusely in the back garden,
14:04and Kai would pretend to pass by
14:06and peek every now and then.
14:07I'll go break his tail so he can't walk anymore!
14:09Atlas!
14:10I have my own plans.
14:13That night, I called Kai to my room to wait on me.
14:16The former Merman King was now kneeling at my feet,
14:19holding my foot basin.
14:20His wounds hadn't healed yet,
14:22and he swayed weakly.
14:23Your health is still so poor.
14:25Kai collapsed weakly on the floor.
14:27My tail was already broken at the auction,
14:30and it never healed.
14:31Seeing that I didn't react,
14:33he coughed twice more.
14:34I know. I'm useless.
14:35I just want to stay by your side for the rest of my life.
14:38I don't dare ask for your lifeblood.
14:40Why do you have to stay by my side?
14:42Kai pressed his lips together and looked at me,
14:45as if trying to figure out if I was pretending to be stupid.
14:48It seems you really don't remember, Lyra.
14:50You saved me once.
14:51Mermyns always repay their kindness,
14:52which is why I want to stay by your side.
14:55Even if you're with Atlas,
14:56as long as I can see you safe,
14:58I'll die without you.
15:00If you drink lifeblood for 49 days,
15:03you'll get better?
15:04Kai's eyes lit up instantly.
15:08Yes, but Lyra,
15:09taking lifeblood will be very painful.
15:11I can save you,
15:13but after you get better,
15:14you must stop pestering me.
15:16Okay, I won't pestle you anymore.
15:20The moment he lowered his head,
15:22I smiled too.
15:23Every day after that,
15:24I sent Atlas to the street
15:25to buy fresh sea beast blood.
15:27Mixed with water and magical herbs,
15:29it tasted almost exactly like lifeblood.
15:31These herbs would make him look like
15:32he was recovering well,
15:33but in reality,
15:34they would slowly destroy his body.
15:36Kai drank bowl after bowl,
15:38frowning every time.
15:39Lyra,
15:40why does this lifeblood taste a little strange?
15:44Blood never smells good.
15:46I have to cut open my chest
15:48every day to save you.
15:50If you think it tastes bad,
15:51then I'll pour it out.
15:54Lyra,
15:55I'll never forget your great knights.
15:57If only I had signed the contract with you,
15:59I can stay by your save
16:00and a pen you open...
16:01I listened while watching him
16:02out of the corner of my eye.
16:03When I mentioned Isolde,
16:05there was no trace of love in his eyes,
16:06only hatred.
16:08Sai,
16:08it's not your fault.
16:10Sister has never liked me.
16:11She just wanted to use you
16:13to embarrass me.
16:14Kai's hand on the table
16:15clenched unconsciously.
16:16I knew I had guessed right.
16:17Don't worry, Lyra.
16:19I won't be a burden to you.
16:21That would be best.
16:22Recently,
16:23Kai rarely hovered around me
16:24and instead started running
16:25to Isolde's yard more often.
16:27I knew he had taken
16:28what I said to heart.
16:29One evening,
16:30I followed him quietly
16:31and saw him slip
16:32into Isolde's yard.
16:33Through the window,
16:34I heard him whisper,
16:35Miss Isolta,
16:37hasn't Lord Tork's diet
16:38been a little monoconous lately?
16:40What do you mean?
16:41I'm just a servant.
16:43What could I mean?
16:44I just happen to know
16:45that some deep sea plants
16:47can make a tail more beautiful.
16:49Of course,
16:49they can also have
16:50the opposite effect.
16:51It all depends on how you use-
16:53I smiled silently in the dark.
16:54It was indeed Kai.
16:55All the tricks he had learned
16:56by my side in his previous life
16:58were now being used
16:59against Isolde.
17:00He probably thought
17:00he was very clever,
17:01but this was exactly
17:03what I wanted.
17:04To keep Kai
17:04from suspecting anything,
17:06Atlas and I
17:06have been training
17:07in my room at night lately.
17:08Faster.
17:09The mermons in the arena
17:10fight to kill.
17:11If your speed isn't up to par,
17:12you might walk in
17:13and be carried out.
17:14I'll spar with you.
17:16Atlas laughed,
17:17clearly looking down on me.
17:18Come here now!
17:21How did you-
17:25Before I could finish,
17:27he launched another attack.
17:28I barely dodged two blows,
17:30then lost my balance
17:31and fell backward.
17:32Atlas gasped
17:33and reached out
17:33to catch my waist.
17:34I suspected he had done it
17:35on purpose-
17:36on purpose-
17:37to fall onto the bed with me.
17:39When he pinned me down,
17:40my heart started racing
17:41uncontrollably.
17:45Atlas, get up!
17:46It's late,
17:47you should go back.
17:51Why can Kai come at night
17:53but I can't?
17:54He had found out
17:55about Kai coming every night
17:56to drink the sea beast blood.
17:57Kai has business.
18:00Atlas refused to move off me,
18:02his breath growing hotter
18:03against my neck.
18:07Master, you said
18:08that after we sign the contract,
18:10I'm your husband.
18:12I babbled out some answers,
18:14only thinking,
18:14how does this damn merman
18:15have so much stamina?
18:16A month later,
18:18Isolde's merman, Tork,
18:19his tail suddenly broke off.
18:21When the news came,
18:22I was doing physical training
18:23with Atlas in the back garden.
18:24A servant stumbled over,
18:26his face pale.
18:27Miss Leora,
18:28something terrible has happened,
18:29Lord Tork, his tail.
18:30I put down my sword
18:31and followed the servant
18:32to Isolde's yard.
18:33The screams grew louder
18:34as we got closer.
18:36How are you gonna compete
18:37in the deep sea gladiator festival
18:38without a tail?
18:39Are you even a merman anymore?
18:41Tork lay on the bed,
18:42his face as white as a sheet.
18:44Isolde begged her father
18:44to send for a healer.
18:45When the healer arrived
18:47and examined him carefully,
18:48he sighed and shook his head.
18:50The outside of this tail looks fine,
18:52but the bones inside
18:53have already softened.
18:54In three days,
18:55the bones will turn
18:56into a puddle of sore.
18:57Tork went mad,
18:59begging the healer
18:59to save him
19:00and fell off the bed
19:01and fell off the bed
19:01in his excitement.
19:04Leora!
19:07You did this,
19:08didn't you?
19:09You were jealous
19:10of my merman's talent,
19:11afraid he'd become
19:12the merman king
19:13and you'd never get ahead of me,
19:14so you deliberately hurt him!
19:17You should die too!
19:20Enough!
19:21Sister,
19:22there's no need for me
19:23to hurt your mengean.
19:25Leaving aside
19:25who will end up
19:26as the mengean king,
19:27Atlas is worse,
19:29stronger than Tork.
19:29He was never a competitor
19:30we needed to worry about.
19:32Why would I go to
19:32all this trouble to harm him?
19:34Isolde was about to worry,
19:35but Lord Blackwood cut her off.
19:37That's enough!
19:38You stay home and rest.
19:40You won't be participating
19:41in the Deep Sea Gladiator Festival.
19:42Do whatever you want
19:43with this useless mengean.
19:45Both Tork and Isolde
19:46panicked completely.
19:47Was there any chance
19:48of survival for a merman
19:49without a tail
19:49who was thrown out?
19:50Kai was clearly in a good mood
19:52when he came to drink
19:53the sea beast blood that day.
19:54He handed me the bowl.
19:55He was almost finished
19:56with the entire course of treatment.
19:58I had increased the dosage
19:59of the herbs recently,
20:00and Kai did look
20:01much better than before,
20:02but it was only
20:03a surface improvement.
20:04The herbs were only
20:05keeping him alive.
20:06If he exerted himself too much,
20:08he would have a sudden attack.
20:09You didn't do that, did you?
20:11How did you manage
20:12to make it happen
20:13so suddenly
20:14without anyone noticing?
20:16To repay you,
20:17I'd do anything.
20:19All those tricks he knew now
20:20were only because
20:21he had been the king
20:22of the Deep Sea Merman
20:23in his previous life.
20:24After drinking
20:25the sea beast blood,
20:26he licked his lips greedily.
20:28After he left,
20:29Atlas stepped out
20:29from the shadows.
20:30Leora,
20:32he's not a good person.
20:34Why are you helping him?
20:37Who said I was helping him?
20:39The Deep Sea Gladiator Festival
20:41is in three days.
20:42Do you have confidence
20:43in becoming the Merman King?
20:45If my master is so eager,
20:47I'll win even if it
20:48costs me my life.
20:51His words made my face
20:52flush instantly.
20:53I knew the strength
20:54of those Mermen well.
20:56As long as Atlas performed normally,
20:57he would have no problem.
20:59The night before
20:59the Deep Sea Gladiator Festival,
21:01I couldn't sleep
21:01no matter what.
21:02I put on my coat
21:03and walked to the window,
21:05only to find Atlas
21:06sitting on the roof,
21:07looking up at the moon.
21:08The sea breeze
21:09blew his dark blue long hair,
21:11and the moonlight
21:11cast a silver glow
21:12on his tail.
21:13Why aren't you asleep?
21:17You're not asleep either.
21:19We sat side by side
21:20on the stone bench
21:21in the garden.
21:21Nervous?
21:24What if I lose?
21:28You won't lose.
21:32What if I do?
21:34Then I'll spend another
21:3549 days giving Kai
21:36my lifeblood
21:37to heal him
21:38and make him fight for you.
21:40Atlas, do you know?
21:41I chose the wrong person
21:42my person
21:42my breathing life,
21:43but this time is different.
21:45I believe in you.
21:46After a long time,
21:47his voice came from
21:48above my head,
21:49very soft.
21:50I won't let you down, Lyra.
21:51It was the first time
21:52he had called my name,
21:54not Master.
21:54On the day of the
21:55Deep Sea Gladiator Festival,
21:57Lord Blackwood went
21:57with Isolda.
21:58The arena was located
21:59at the bottom of the sea
22:00in Black Reef Harbor,
22:01with a magical dome
22:02keeping out the seawater
22:03and a central platform
22:04covered in black sand.
22:05Lord Blackwood said
22:06in a deep voice,
22:07Atlas,
22:08this competition
22:09is about the honor
22:10and status of our family.
22:12You must give it your all.
22:13Isolde curled her lip
22:14into staying,
22:15but for once,
22:16she didn't say a word.
22:17I glanced at her warily.
22:18Just before Atlas
22:19went on stage,
22:20Isolde took a handkerchief
22:21out of her pocket
22:22and tried to wipe his sweat.
22:23Atlas had never liked
22:24strangers touching him,
22:25so he dodged immediately.
22:27Isolde's outstretched hand
22:28froze in midair.
22:29Look at the merman
22:30you raised.
22:31I was just helping him
22:32wipe his sweat.
22:34Hey,
22:34you don't!
22:38What's wrong?
22:39The merman's competition
22:40is important,
22:41but Father has been
22:41standing in the sun
22:42with us,
22:42which is hard enough.
22:43Wiping his hen
22:44is the least
22:45a daughter can do.
22:47With that,
22:47I pushed Atlas
22:48out onto the stage.
22:49Isolde started fidgeting,
22:50glancing nervously
22:51at Lord Blackwood
22:52from time to time.
22:53When I saw him swaying,
22:54I smiled.
22:55It turned out
22:56to be a sleeping potion.
22:58Father,
22:58what's wrong with you?
23:00I was fine just now.
23:02Why do I feel like this
23:03all of a sudden
23:04wiping my sweat?
23:05Ah!
23:06What are you talking about?
23:07Father is just not
23:08feeling well
23:08and it has nothing
23:09to do with my handkerchief.
23:10No.
23:14Lord Blackwood
23:15was already
23:16two days to speak.
23:17I smiled at Isolde.
23:18Whether there's
23:19a problem or not,
23:20we'll find out
23:20when we check it
23:21when we get back.
23:22The potion had been
23:23used on Lord Blackwood
23:24instead.
23:24I didn't believe
23:25he wouldn't react.
23:26Isolde's goal
23:26was simple
23:27since her own
23:27merman had no hope.
23:29She didn't want
23:29my Atlas to compete.
23:31After the competition
23:32started,
23:32Atlas quickly advanced
23:33to the final rounds.
23:35When she saw Kai
23:36in the arena,
23:36Isolde's jaw dropped.
23:38Isolde was supposed
23:39to be useless.
23:40He was supposed
23:40to be a servant
23:41in our house.
23:42Why is he here?
23:43Then she suddenly
23:44grabbed the point.
23:45My tail can heal.
23:45Then there's hope
23:46for my torque too.
23:47You did this,
23:48didn't you?
23:48How did you heal him?
23:50Want to know?
23:51Use your own lifeblood.
23:53Feed it to him
23:54every day for 49 days
23:55and he'll be fine.
23:57For a merman?
23:58I'll just buy
23:59another one.
24:00But Leora,
24:01you healed this Kai
24:02just to watch him
24:02fight your Atlas?
24:04I stared intently
24:05at the stage
24:06and didn't answer.
24:07Before we came,
24:08I had warned Atlas
24:09if he faced Kai
24:10in the arena,
24:10beat him to death.
24:11All that sea beast,
24:13blood and herbs
24:13hadn't gone to waste.
24:15Kai finally stood
24:15face to face
24:16with Atlas.
24:17The arena was
24:18in an uproar
24:18and everyone
24:19was watching this time.
24:20Kai stood
24:21on the competition
24:21platter,
24:22his tail glowing
24:23like a healthy sheep.
24:24He looked around
24:25and his eyes
24:25finally landed on me.
24:27He smiled at me
24:28that smile
24:28made the scar
24:29on my chest
24:29from my previous life
24:30throb faintly.
24:32Atlas charged forward
24:32without a word.
24:33The two figures
24:34clurped into
24:35the angle of light
24:35and shadow.
24:36Kai,
24:37who had seemed fierce
24:37against his other opponents,
24:39suddenly looked weak
24:40and bold.
24:41I smiled,
24:41but Isol Day,
24:43out of the corner
24:43of my eye,
24:44couldn't smile at all.
24:45It had only been
24:46a cup of tea
24:47since he stepped
24:47onto the stage
24:48and Kai could
24:49barely get up.
24:49I was waiting
24:50for him to exert
24:51himself too much
24:51and spurt blood
24:52on the spot.
24:53He struggled
24:54with all his might
24:54to stand up
24:55and the first thing
24:56he did was look
24:56at me in the crowd.
24:57I looked away
24:58in disgust.
24:59Kai threw his head
25:00back in the room,
25:01trying to unleash
25:02all his strength,
25:03but just as he was
25:03about to launch
25:04his full attack,
25:05he suddenly clutched
25:06his chest
25:06and spat out
25:07a mouthful of blood.
25:08Before Atlas
25:08could even touch him,
25:09he collapsed
25:10to the ground
25:10on his own.
25:11On the competition
25:12platform,
25:13Kai fell,
25:14kicking up a cloud
25:14of black sand.
25:15The arena fell silent
25:16for a moment,
25:17then erupted
25:18into deafening cheers.
25:19Atlas stood
25:20in the center
25:20of the field,
25:21raised his head,
25:22and found me
25:22in the stands
25:23through the crowd.
25:24He mouthed something,
25:25and I didn't hear it,
25:25but my heart
25:26skipped a beat.
25:28Atlas won again.
25:30After several rounds
25:31of competition,
25:32Atlas's identity
25:33as the king
25:33of the deep sea mermen
25:34was firmly established.
25:36The coronation ceremony
25:37was held
25:37in the underwater temple.
25:39When the deep sea
25:40high priest placed
25:41the black pearl crown
25:41on Atlas's head,
25:42all the mermen
25:43in the entire sea
25:44emitted a low frequency
25:45resonance,
25:46the sound of submission
25:46that only mermen
25:47could hear.
25:48Across the crowd,
25:49Atlas and I
25:50looked at each other
25:50from afar.
25:51Isolde was grinding
25:52her teeth so hard
25:53they were about to crack.
25:55On the carriage ride back,
25:56Isolde didn't say a word.
25:57Her fingers were clenched
25:58so tightly around her skirt
26:00that her knuckles
26:00turned white.
26:01Lord Blackwood
26:02was still unconscious.
26:04Tired?
26:07Before Kai fell,
26:09I asked him,
26:09do you know what you've
26:10been drinking
26:10all this time?
26:12Did he hear you?
26:14He did.
26:15His eyes went wide.
26:17Unfortunately,
26:18he didn't have time
26:19to say anything
26:20before he spit blood.
26:22Good.
26:23Letting him fall,
26:24knowing the truth,
26:25hurt more than letting him
26:26die without knowing.
26:27When we got home,
26:29Lord Blackwood's dizziness
26:30didn't subside
26:30until the next day,
26:31when he learned that Atlas
26:32had become the king
26:33of the deep-sea mermin,
26:34he was overjoyed
26:35and said good
26:36three times in a row.
26:38It seems I can safely
26:40leave the Blackwood family
26:41to you two from now on.
26:45Father!
26:46I'm the first heirly!
26:47This house should be war!
26:49This time it's only
26:50because my mermin was him!
26:51Other than the mermin
26:52Kwong would have been ours!
26:53Father!
26:54Are you just sucking up
26:55to her now because
26:56her mermin is the mermin king?
26:58Absurd!
27:01Go back to your room!
27:03Isolay, from now on
27:04you are forbidden
27:04from keeping any more mermins!
27:06Isolta was dragged away.
27:07That last sentence
27:08completely cut off her path.
27:09Father!
27:10Without a mermin,
27:10what could she possibly
27:11compete with him?
27:12The entire Blackwood family
27:13began to reshuffle.
27:15Lord Blackwood officially announced
27:16that I would take over
27:17the family's transatlantic maritime trade
27:19and magical creature breeding affairs.
27:21A week later,
27:22in the evening,
27:23I was going through
27:24the accounts
27:24when a servant
27:25knocked on the door.
27:26News from the harbor
27:27Kai has woken up!
27:28And then?
27:29He's been talking nonsense!
27:31Saying things about
27:31a previous life,
27:32the mermin king
27:33that you owe him.
27:35He also said
27:36he doesn't hate
27:36Miss Israelith at all.
27:37He's always hated you
27:38because you made him
27:39think he could be healed
27:40then destroyed him
27:41with your own hands.
27:44Where is he now?
27:46He's locked in
27:47an abandoned warehouse
27:47by the harbor keeper.
27:49No merman will take in
27:50a fellow whose
27:50Mertimeans are all destroyed.
27:51He'll be expelled
27:53from Black Reef Harbor soon.
27:54Take me to see him.
27:57You're going to see him?
27:58One last time.
28:05You came.
28:07I came to hear
28:08your last words.
28:09Kai stared at me
28:10for a long time
28:11then suddenly laughed.
28:13The sound echoed
28:14hollowly in the water tank.
28:16Last words?
28:17I said my last words
28:18in my previous life.
28:19I'm just saying them again
28:20in this one, Lyora.
28:21You tore me and her apart.
28:23Isilith never chose you.
28:24Not in your previous life,
28:25not in this one.
28:27You've been lying to yourself
28:28your whole life.
28:31You're lying!
28:32Then go ask her.
28:33Go right now.
28:34See if the Isolna
28:36you're pintsing for
28:36would be willing to give you
28:37even a drop,
28:38even just sea beast.
28:39I straightened up
28:40and turned to leave.
28:41Behind me came the sound
28:42of churning water
28:43followed by a suppressed
28:44primal scream.
28:45I didn't look back.
28:47You're shaking.
28:49It's just cold.
28:52Lyora, it's all over.
28:54Not yet.
28:58The family's power
28:59transmission will take time.
29:01The trade routes
29:01need to be reorganized
29:03and the forces
29:03that once relied on Isolo
29:05won't go down
29:06without a fight.
29:07Most importantly,
29:08the coronation of the
29:09King of the Deep Sea
29:10Murriens
29:10is just the beginning.
29:11The real challenges
29:12are never on the
29:13competition platform
29:14but in the undercurrents
29:15beneath it.
29:17Then I'll walk
29:18this path with you.
29:22The sea breeze
29:23blew his long hair
29:24and those blue eyes
29:25reflected both me
29:26and the setting sun.
29:27In the distance,
29:28the bells of Black Reef
29:29Harbor rang out
29:30the call to nightfall.
29:31The real game
29:32was only just beginning.
29:33evening.記者
