Transcript

00:00:00I lay on the stone bed of the sacred infirmary, trembling violently.

00:00:05Every doctor in the Wind Kingdom was on edge for my sake.

00:00:09Yet my husband, Lord Ronan, was nowhere to be seen.

00:00:15I was used to his coldness.

00:00:18But at this moment, having gambled my life and burned my manor to bear this child,

00:00:25the ridiculous shred of hope still flickered in my heart years ago.

00:00:28When I was in a desperate situation, the young Ronan saved my life.

00:00:36That kindness became my lifelong obsession.

00:00:39But he had no idea that I was the sole pure-blooded daughter of the High Elfin King.

00:00:48When I met with disaster in my youth, I was rescued by him,

00:00:54the lord of a mere mid-tier Elfin Kingdom.

00:00:57To repay that debt, I concealed my supreme identity.

00:01:02Even using a forbidden ritual to seal away the radiant wings of nature

00:01:08on my back that symbolized supreme divine authority,

00:01:12I willingly became an ordinary female elf with no background,

00:01:17marrying into his territory.

00:01:19Under a false name for years, I remained gentle and submissive,

00:01:24using my own pure-blooded mana to nourish his family,

00:01:28all for a sliver of his affection.

00:01:35Yet, I could never warm a heart of stone.

00:01:38In Ronan's heart, there was only ever room for his first love, Vanessa.

00:01:48The agony intensified as the mana and bloodlines within my body surged in a violent reverse flow.

00:01:56But I held on to my last strength.

00:01:58Yet, all that arrived was a cold, ruthless message from a guard.

00:02:04My lady, the lord is busy with official matters and cannot come.

00:02:08Please deliver the child on your own, and do not delay the lord's business.

00:02:12At that moment, a self-deprecating laugh escaped my lips.

00:02:16This life of mine and the child in my womb never mattered to him.

00:02:21After an entire day and night of deathly struggle,

00:02:24a soft, fragile wile finally shattered the silence of the infirmary.

00:02:29This was my daughter, a precious treasure,

00:02:33bought at the cost of all my mana.

00:02:36I named her Iris.

00:02:39At that exact moment, my personal guard rushed in to report.

00:02:43My lady!

00:02:44The lord has finished his external affairs,

00:02:46and has returned to the main manor in his unicorn sacred carriage.

00:02:50Within my deadland heart, a tiny spark suddenly ignited.

00:02:54I instinctively assumed that no matter how cold or selfish he might be,

00:02:57at least he would at least want to look at his newborn flesh and blood.

00:03:00Forcing my exhausted, severely depleted body up,

00:03:03I carefully held my daughter in her swaddling clothes,

00:03:05making my way toward the promenade of the main temple to see my husband.

00:03:09But just as I reached the promenade and looked through the lush courtyard of the sacred elven tree,

00:03:14I froze instantly, the blood in my veins turning to ice.

00:03:18My husband stood there, tall and elegant in his black robes,

00:03:23and right beside him stood a woman, the first love he had yearned for and never forgotten.

00:03:27It was Vanessa.

00:03:28What struck me like a bolt from the blue was that in front of them stood a little elfin boy,

00:03:32roughly three years old,

00:03:33with long pointed ears and a pair of eyes that flashed with a cunning disguised as inonence.

00:03:39Countless absurd possibilities flashed through my mind.

00:03:42My hands shook uncontrollably from shock and rage,

00:03:45but I forced myself to stand my ground,

00:03:48enduring the tearing pain of the postpartum mana reverse flow.

00:03:51Vanessa looked up and spotted me, her mouth curving into a flitting, provocative smirk.

00:03:56She intentionally leaned closer, into Ronan's embrace,

00:03:59her voice soft yet dripping with malice.

00:04:02Ronan, so she's the one who stole my man and my title while I was away?

00:04:06Tenderness instantly flooded Ronan's eyes as he wrapped his arm around her.

00:04:11He comforted her softly,

00:04:13even placing a lingering kiss upon her forehead,

00:04:17right in front of me.

00:04:19When he turned to me,

00:04:20his tone was piercingly cold and dismissive.

00:04:24Think nothing of it, Vanessa.

00:04:26You are my true love.

00:04:29I have never loved her.

00:04:31She is nothing more than a tool to manage the tribe.

00:04:36Ronan, look closely.

00:04:37This is the daughter I just risked my life to give you.

00:04:41Look at her.

00:04:41She was just born.

00:04:42Look how beautiful she is.

00:04:44Ronan cast a brief, indifferent glance downward.

00:04:46In his eyes, there was not a shred of paternal emotion,

00:04:49only naked disgust and annoyance.

00:04:51He swiftly averted his gaze,

00:04:53as though looking at his own flesh and blood for even a second longer

00:04:56would defile his relationship with Vanessa.

00:04:58Vanessa's gaze locked onto the infant in my arms,

00:05:01a flash of venom crossing her eyes,

00:05:04promptly.

00:05:05She lifted her pitiful face,

00:05:07gazing up at Ronan with a trembling sob.

00:05:10Ronan, she has already born a child for the tribe.

00:05:13Then what about our Jasper?

00:05:14He followed me,

00:05:15wandering among foreign kingdoms,

00:05:17and suffered for three long years.

00:05:19He is your eldest son,

00:05:21the future heir of the Wind Kingdom.

00:05:23Looking at that three-year-old elfin child clinging to their side,

00:05:27I felt as if my soul had been struck by lightning.

00:05:29It turned out that my suspicion was actually the truth.

00:05:33What exactly is going on here?

00:05:36Ronan looked down at me,

00:05:38entirely devoid of guilt,

00:05:39and let out a righteous, cold snort.

00:05:43Good, you saw it.

00:05:44Saves me the trouble of explaining.

00:05:45When Vanessa left three years ago,

00:05:46she was already pregnant with my child!

00:05:48For these three years,

00:05:49she raised Jasper alone among foreign kingdoms,

00:05:51enduring endless grievance.

00:05:52Now that she has returned,

00:05:53I must make it them properly,

00:05:54restoring everything that belongs to them

00:05:56a thousand times over!

00:05:59I stared at the picture-perfect family of three before me,

00:06:03as a boundless despair

00:06:04swallowed me like a tidal wave.

00:06:07Just as I was on the verge of collapsing,

00:06:10Ronan's mother, Elodie,

00:06:11walked over hoarsely,

00:06:12flanked by attendants.

00:06:14Three-year-old Jasper was incredibly sweet-talked,

00:06:17twitching his delicate little elven ears.

00:06:19He immediately ran over on his short legs,

00:06:21and tightly hugged Elodie's leg.

00:06:24Grandma!

00:06:26I finally get to see you!

00:06:28Mother said you are the most benevolent

00:06:30and noble elder

00:06:33in the entire kingdom!

00:06:36Elodie, who was extremely superstitious

00:06:38about bloodlines and male esters,

00:06:40melted instantly.

00:06:42She gathered Jasper into her arms,

00:06:44treating him like her ultimate treasure.

00:06:47Seizing the moment,

00:06:49Vanetha leaned into Ronan's embrace,

00:06:51weeping with feigned grievance.

00:06:53It's all my fault.

00:06:55If I had been stronger,

00:06:58your perfect grandson

00:06:59wouldn't have spent three years

00:07:02starving in exile.

00:07:04Elodie's heart ached for them.

00:07:06She snapped her head around to look at me

00:07:08with my deathly pale face

00:07:10and my weakly wailing daughter,

00:07:13her eyes instantly turning into daggers

00:07:15of piercing disgust.

00:07:17You nearly died just to produce

00:07:21a magicless, useless girl?

00:07:25What a pathetic waste!

00:07:27Pack up that defective brat

00:07:29and drag yourselves

00:07:30to the Wythen Tower at the border

00:07:32right now!

00:07:33I won't let you bring your bad luck

00:07:35near my precious grandson!

00:07:39Ronan,

00:07:40Iris is your flesh and blood too.

00:07:44How can you just let them trample all over us?

00:07:48But Ronan's face remained completely indifferent,

00:07:51his tone dripping with disdain.

00:07:54Mother is right.

00:07:56Jasper is the future

00:07:57and hope of Wind Kingdom.

00:08:01The daughter you gave birth to

00:08:02has a dull divine mark.

00:08:06She is utterly unworthy

00:08:08of living in the main manor.

00:08:12Going to the tower

00:08:13is your only option.

00:08:16Vanessa threw a provocative glance my way,

00:08:19squeezing her throat

00:08:20to spit out the most poison words.

00:08:22Loser.

00:08:24Since you possess no noble bloodline,

00:08:26staying here

00:08:27will only bring you

00:08:29self-inflicted humiliation.

00:08:32Looking at their hypocritical,

00:08:34I clenched my fingers

00:08:35and the very last ember

00:08:37of gratitude within me

00:08:38was completely extinguished.

00:08:41The cold wind

00:08:42wowed through the withered tower,

00:08:44a place that never saw

00:08:45a single ray of moonlight.

00:08:48I held my frail little daughter close,

00:08:51huddling in the corner

00:08:52of the freezing stone wall.

00:08:54Having barely survived childbirth

00:08:56and with my mana

00:08:57completely burned out,

00:09:00my chest felt

00:09:01as if it were being torn apart.

00:09:04By 10,000 winds.

00:09:06Just when I was completely helpless

00:09:09and desperate,

00:09:10the heavy wooden door of the tower

00:09:12was suddenly pushed open

00:09:14and Ronan walked in,

00:09:17silhouetted against the light.

00:09:19In that single instant,

00:09:21a ridiculous shred of hope

00:09:23actually flared up once more

00:09:25in my deadland heart.

00:09:28He was the child's father.

00:09:30Had he finally softened

00:09:32coming to bring some mana

00:09:33to ward off the cold?

00:09:35Or to take my daughter and me back?

00:09:38Forcing my mana-depleased body up,

00:09:40my pale lips trembled.

00:09:43Ronan!

00:09:43Did you come to see Iris?

00:09:45She caught a chill.

00:09:47And the divine mark on her forehead

00:09:49is growing weaker and weaker.

00:09:52Please, save her!

00:09:53But before I could even get close,

00:09:56Ronan took a disgusted step backward.

00:09:59Serafana.

00:10:00As if the child and I

00:10:01were some kind of fear.

00:10:02I only came here to warn you.

00:10:05Stay in your withered tower quietly.

00:10:08Sign this declaration

00:10:08relinquishing your rights

00:10:09as the primary mistress.

00:10:11And don't try any clever tricks.

00:10:13I felt as though

00:10:14I had been struck by lightning,

00:10:15taking a shocked step back.

00:10:17I stared firmly at the man

00:10:20I had loved with my very life

00:10:22for three years.

00:10:24You came all the way

00:10:25to this desolate place,

00:10:27not to cast a single glance

00:10:29at your own daughter,

00:10:30but merely to force me

00:10:32to give up my position.

00:10:34And to warn me?

00:10:36Ronan let out a cold laugh,

00:10:38his eyes filled with arrogance

00:10:40and a fierce protectiveness

00:10:42for Vanessa.

00:10:43Vanessa is kind-hearted.

00:10:46She suffered terribly.

00:10:49While wandering among

00:10:50foreign kingdoms with our child.

00:10:52I will not allow anyone

00:10:53to disrupt Jasper's upbringing.

00:10:57I am warning you.

00:10:59Put away that jealous face of yours.

00:11:02Stay where you belong.

00:11:03And do not provoke Vanessa

00:11:05and her son

00:11:06if I discover that you dare

00:11:08to secretly harm them

00:11:11or attempt to steal the resources

00:11:13that belong to Jasper.

00:11:16I will absolutely show you

00:11:17no mercy!

00:11:19In the darkness,

00:11:20my daughter let out a faint,

00:11:22protesting cry.

00:11:23Ronan, however,

00:11:24did not bother to spare

00:11:25even a glance from the corner

00:11:26of his eye.

00:11:27He turned

00:11:28and departed resolutely,

00:11:29the heavy iron door slamming shut

00:11:31with a resounding thud.

00:11:33Holding my child,

00:11:34I collapsed into the freezing mud,

00:11:36laughing at my own stupidity.

00:11:38He came only to warn me.

00:11:40The night sky hung low

00:11:42as the freezing wind raged

00:11:44through the dead silence

00:11:45of the withered tower,

00:11:47preventing even a single

00:11:48slimmer of moonlight

00:11:49from penetrating the darkness.

00:11:51I had burned through

00:11:52the vast majority of my mana

00:11:53during childbirth.

00:11:54The magic within my body

00:11:56had completely dried up.

00:11:57I could only hold

00:11:58my little princess

00:11:59tightly in my arms,

00:12:00using my own faint body wheat

00:12:01to provide warmth

00:12:02for my infant,

00:12:03who was running a continuous

00:12:04low fever

00:12:05inside her swaddling clothes.

00:12:06Yet at this very moment,

00:12:09inside the Wind Kingdom's

00:12:10main temple,

00:12:11there was a completely

00:12:12different scene

00:12:13of brilliant lights,

00:12:15music,

00:12:16and extravagant luxury.

00:12:17Vanessa and her son

00:12:18sat on a soft couch

00:12:19covered in the rarest

00:12:20luminescent beast skins,

00:12:22basking in the attention

00:12:23and adoration

00:12:24of all the high-ranking elves

00:12:25in the kingdom.

00:12:27Three-year-old Jasper

00:12:28fluttered the tiny green

00:12:29elben wings that had just

00:12:31begun to develop on his back.

00:12:32Holding an exquisite

00:12:33elben sacred berry

00:12:34in his hands,

00:12:35his face

00:12:35completely smeared

00:12:37with juice,

00:12:37Elayda sat high

00:12:38upon her throne,

00:12:39grinning from ear to ear,

00:12:41her eyes overflowing

00:12:42with a dotting pride.

00:12:44Watching this warm

00:12:45and harmonious scene,

00:12:47the more Elayda

00:12:47looked at this

00:12:48chubby grandson,

00:12:49the more pleasing

00:12:50he seemed to her eye.

00:12:51Stroking the staff

00:12:52that symbolized her power

00:12:53as the High Priestess,

00:12:54she impatiently turned

00:12:55to prompt my husband,

00:12:56Ronan,

00:12:57who was standing beside her.

00:12:58Ronan,

00:12:59Vanessa and her son

00:13:00have wandered

00:13:01among foreign kingdoms

00:13:02for years,

00:13:03enduring endless hardships.

00:13:05Now my precious eldest grandson

00:13:07is already three years old

00:13:09and the wind-attributed mana

00:13:10within his body

00:13:11is so abundant.

00:13:13How can he continue

00:13:14to stay in the guest room

00:13:15so illegitimately?

00:13:17Tonight,

00:13:18you must have

00:13:19Vanessa and Jasper

00:13:20officially move

00:13:21into the Lord's main manor,

00:13:23into the bedchambers

00:13:23that rightfully belong

00:13:25to the primary mistress

00:13:26and the heir!

00:13:27Ronan lowered his eyes,

00:13:28looking at Vanessa's

00:13:29adoration-filled face,

00:13:31as she leaned coyly

00:13:32against him

00:13:33and then at the child

00:13:34who was sweetly

00:13:35calling him father.

00:13:36The scales in his heart

00:13:37had already tipped completely.

00:13:39Without a shred of hesitation,

00:13:40he nodded his agreement

00:13:42coldly on the spot.

00:13:43Mother is right.

00:13:45The best location

00:13:46in the main manor

00:13:47should naturally be reserved

00:13:48for the heir

00:13:49who truly carries

00:13:50the excellent bloodline

00:13:51of our kingdom.

00:13:52Seeing her son agree

00:13:53so readily,

00:13:54Aloy's face flushed

00:13:55with even more delight.

00:13:57Standing up hauntily

00:13:58while leaning on her staff,

00:13:59she addressed all

00:14:00the tribal high officials

00:14:01present in a grand,

00:14:02supreme tone.

00:14:03Not only that,

00:14:05Wind Kingdom has thrived

00:14:06to this day

00:14:07and our bloodline

00:14:07is supreme.

00:14:09Jasper is exceptionally bright,

00:14:10displaying astonishing

00:14:11magical talent

00:14:12at such a tender age.

00:14:13He deserves the recognition

00:14:14of all kingdoms!

00:14:15I propose that in three days,

00:14:17we hold the most grand

00:14:18and magnificent

00:14:19official announcement

00:14:20celebration

00:14:21for three-year-old

00:14:22Jasper.

00:14:22We shall high-profilely

00:14:24declare him

00:14:24as the primary heir

00:14:26of our Wind Kingdom's future!

00:14:29In three days,

00:14:29Jasper would be declared

00:14:31the primary heir.

00:14:32Following her move

00:14:33into the main manor,

00:14:34Vanessa began to carry herself

00:14:35entirely as the queen

00:14:36of the Wind Kingdom.

00:14:37Dressed in extravagant silks,

00:14:39she glided through the temple

00:14:40flanked by her entourage,

00:14:42soaking in the endless,

00:14:43shallow flattery.

00:14:44Yet a stubborn sliver

00:14:45of anxiety remained

00:14:46buried deep in her chest.

00:14:48Whenever night fell,

00:14:48she would catch Ronin

00:14:49standing on the balcony,

00:14:50staring with a conflicted

00:14:51expression towards that

00:14:52dark, desolate,

00:14:54withered tower.

00:14:54Though he spoke with

00:14:55absolute coldness,

00:14:56subconsciously,

00:14:57he still harbored

00:14:58a faint trace of worry

00:14:59for my baby and me,

00:15:00a worry he refused

00:15:01to admit even to himself.

00:15:03This lingering gaze

00:15:04made Vanessa's jealousness

00:15:05and paranoia

00:15:06grow wild.

00:15:07As long as my daughter

00:15:08and I were breathing,

00:15:10her position

00:15:10and Jasper's future

00:15:11would never be safe.

00:15:13An opportunity presented

00:15:14itself sooner than expected.

00:15:16Early this morning,

00:15:17desperate to give

00:15:17my frail daughter

00:15:18a single drop of clean water,

00:15:19my completely helpless self

00:15:21was forced to drag

00:15:22my broken body

00:15:23out of the tower,

00:15:24heading deep into the woods

00:15:25to harvest pure spring water

00:15:26filtered by ancient divine marks.

00:15:28Learning of this,

00:15:29Vanessa's eyes turned ice cold.

00:15:31She knew her moment

00:15:32had arrived.

00:15:33She quietly dismissed the guards

00:15:34around the main manor,

00:15:36taking only a few of her

00:15:37most ruthlessest confidence

00:15:38as she slipped into the dark,

00:15:40abandoned,

00:15:41withered tower.

00:15:42The wooden door creaked open,

00:15:44letting in the piercing chill.

00:15:46Vanessa stepped over the debris,

00:15:48advancing slow pace

00:15:49by slow pace

00:15:50until she stopped

00:15:51right in front

00:15:52of the primitive stone bed.

00:15:54Inside her swaddling clothes,

00:15:55newborn Iris

00:15:56was sleeping soundly.

00:15:57Though her little face

00:15:58was pale,

00:15:59the faint golden divine mark

00:16:01shimmering on her forehead

00:16:02radiated an undeniable

00:16:03nobility and purity,

00:16:04a mark that made

00:16:05Vanessa's eyes burn

00:16:07with pure envy.

00:16:08You pathetic little freak.

00:16:10You think you're worthy

00:16:12of Ronan's blood?

00:16:14If you want to blame anyone,

00:16:16blame your useless mother.

00:16:18The mask of innocence

00:16:19slipped from Vanessa's face,

00:16:21her eyes twisting

00:16:22with pure malice.

00:16:23From her wide sleeve,

00:16:25she slowly pulled out

00:16:26a porcelain vial

00:16:27that emitted

00:16:28an eerie green glow.

00:16:30Inside was a forbidden,

00:16:31lethal toxin

00:16:32she had purchased

00:16:33at an exorgent price

00:16:34from the black market.

00:16:35Soul-eating elixir,

00:16:37specifically designed

00:16:38to dissolve

00:16:39a newborn elf's mana core

00:16:41and cause their soul

00:16:42to rot away inch by inch.

00:16:44With a trembling hand,

00:16:45she popped the cork

00:16:46and violently clamped

00:16:47her fingers

00:16:48over my baby's fragile jaw.

00:16:50The sharp pain

00:16:51forced my sleeping princess

00:16:53to snap her eyes open,

00:16:55letting out a weak,

00:16:56agonizing cry.

00:16:58But Vanessa was entirely unfazed.

00:17:00With a distorted,

00:17:02demomic sneer,

00:17:03she forced the entire bottle

00:17:04of icy corrosive poison

00:17:06straight down

00:17:06my infant's tender throat.

00:17:08When I returned

00:17:09to the withered tower,

00:17:11thoroughly exhausted

00:17:12and clutching

00:17:14that tiny container

00:17:14of pure spring water

00:17:15tightly to my chest,

00:17:17what greeted me

00:17:18was not the gentle sound

00:17:19of my daughter's breathing,

00:17:20but a deathly silence.

00:17:22My heart skipped a beat

00:17:24and a boundless panic

00:17:26instantly seized me

00:17:28in a death grip.

00:17:30I practically crawled

00:17:31and scrambled my way

00:17:33toward that freezing stone bed.

00:17:37Iris...

00:17:39Mommy is back.

00:17:41The moment my trembling hands

00:17:42pulled back the swaddling clothes,

00:17:44the sight before me

00:17:46caused me to drop

00:17:47into an abyss of ice.

00:17:51Her originally pink little face

00:17:53was now completely white,

00:17:57even faintly tinged

00:17:59with an eerie,

00:18:00sickly green,

00:18:00deathly energy.

00:18:01What truly shattered my soul

00:18:03was that the faint

00:18:05golden elven divine mark

00:18:06on her forehead,

00:18:07which had been flickering softly,

00:18:09was now darkened

00:18:11across a massive area.

00:18:14Iris!

00:18:17Wake up.

00:18:19Look at Mommy.

00:18:21Don't scare Mommy.

00:18:23Sprinting once more

00:18:24toward the Wind Kingdom's infirmary.

00:18:30I slammed the infirmary doors open

00:18:32with immense force.

00:18:35The sitting doctor

00:18:36took one look

00:18:37at the infant in my arms,

00:18:38who was hanging onto life

00:18:40by a mere thread,

00:18:41and his face

00:18:42instantly changed color.

00:18:44His hands trembled

00:18:45as he probed

00:18:47the fluctuations

00:18:48within my daughter's body,

00:18:49his eyes filling with horror.

00:18:53Heavens!

00:18:54This...

00:18:55This is the forbidden poison

00:18:56that destroys the mana core!

00:18:59The child's natural core

00:19:00is withering away

00:19:01inch by inch.

00:19:03She is in critical danger

00:19:04and will not survive

00:19:05past half a month.

00:19:07The doctor's words

00:19:07were like a massive hammer,

00:19:09smashing my heart

00:19:10to the point

00:19:11where I wished

00:19:12I could die

00:19:13on the spot.

00:19:15To suppress

00:19:15this aggressive toxin,

00:19:18we must immediately

00:19:19inject

00:19:20a powerful,

00:19:22compatible mana

00:19:23from her father's kingdom

00:19:24to protect her heart path.

00:19:28Otherwise...

00:19:29Trembling,

00:19:30I closed my eyes,

00:19:31disregarding any cost.

00:19:32I forcibly reversed

00:19:33the remaining essence

00:19:34within my body,

00:19:35frantically activating

00:19:37the soul transmission

00:19:38unique to the elven race.

00:19:40A connection

00:19:41never lightly opened

00:19:42unless it was a matter

00:19:43of life or death.

00:19:44Rowan!

00:19:45Save our daughter!

00:19:46Save our daughter!

00:19:47From the other end,

00:19:49there was only

00:19:49a deathly silence,

00:19:51followed by a completely

00:19:52heartless rejection.

00:19:53Rowan had actually

00:19:55severed my soul transmission,

00:19:57treating my soul cry

00:19:58for hair

00:19:59entirely as nothing.

00:20:04Rowan!

00:20:05I beg you,

00:20:08connect to me.

00:20:12Save Iris.

00:20:14I knelt on the freezing

00:20:15floor of the infirmary,

00:20:17sending out the soul transmission

00:20:18over and over again,

00:20:19even though maintaining it

00:20:20for every additional second

00:20:22brought a tearing,

00:20:23agonizing pain

00:20:24to my dried-up sea

00:20:24of consciousness.

00:20:25I refused to let go.

00:20:28At this moment,

00:20:29inside the Wind Kingdom's

00:20:30main manor,

00:20:31Ronan was patiently

00:20:32keeping Vanessa

00:20:33and her son company.

00:20:35Three-year-old Jasper,

00:20:36dressed in a luxurious outfit

00:20:38embroidered with green leaves

00:20:40and gold thread,

00:20:41was pulling back

00:20:41a delicate short

00:20:43wooden mana bow.

00:20:47When he hit the bullseye,

00:20:49it drew bursts of gasps

00:20:51and praise

00:20:51from the surrounding

00:20:53attendants,

00:20:54perhaps perturbed

00:20:55and annoyed

00:20:55by my weeping,

00:20:57blood-soaked pleas

00:20:58that continuously

00:20:59echoed in his mind

00:21:00like an act

00:21:01of self-mutilation.

00:21:03After coldly

00:21:04cutting it off

00:21:04over a dozen times,

00:21:06Ronan finally accepted

00:21:07the connection.

00:21:09His phantom projection

00:21:10materialized in mid-air,

00:21:12looking down

00:21:12at my battered

00:21:13and wretched form

00:21:14from a great height,

00:21:15his eyes filled

00:21:16with absolute impatience

00:21:17and disgust.

00:21:19Serafana,

00:21:20haven't you thrown

00:21:21enough of a tantrum?

00:21:23Is the soul transmission

00:21:24something you use

00:21:26as a prop

00:21:27to throw jealous fits?

00:21:30Ronan,

00:21:30no,

00:21:32Iris has been poisoned,

00:21:33her mana core

00:21:34is about to shatter

00:21:35and the doctor said

00:21:36we must have

00:21:36the compatible mana

00:21:37from your body

00:21:38immediately

00:21:39to protect her heart path.

00:21:41I beg you,

00:21:43come and see her.

00:21:45Poisoned?

00:21:46The moment Vanessa

00:21:47and Jasper move

00:21:48into the main house,

00:21:50you begin fabricating

00:21:52such an absurd lie.

00:21:53Are you trying

00:21:54to curse my heir?

00:21:55I am not lying!

00:21:58She is really

00:21:59about to die.

00:22:04Enough!

00:22:06I know you are resentful

00:22:08because you gave birth

00:22:10to a daughter

00:22:12and your position

00:22:14as the Lord's Concord

00:22:15is insecure.

00:22:16But I am warning you,

00:22:18do not use a child

00:22:21as an excuse

00:22:23to disturb me.

00:22:27Jasper has to try

00:22:28on his robes

00:22:28for the dawn celebration

00:22:29in a moment.

00:22:30I have no time

00:22:33to play mad

00:22:35with you!

00:22:38dropping these piercingly cold words.

00:22:41Ronin did not wait

00:22:42for me

00:22:42to utter another syllable

00:22:44before callously

00:22:46cutting off

00:22:47the soul transmission

00:22:48with a wave of his hand.

00:22:50The phantom projection

00:22:52in mid-air

00:22:52dissolved instantly

00:22:54and along with it,

00:22:56the very last shred

00:22:57of my hope

00:22:58was crushed

00:22:59to pieces.

00:23:02After the soul transmission

00:23:04was severed,

00:23:05Ronin stared at his empty palm,

00:23:06his brow frowned

00:23:07tightly together.

00:23:08Even though he utterly

00:23:09detested Serafina's

00:23:10jealous fits,

00:23:11he hearing a word

00:23:12like dying

00:23:12still caused a faint

00:23:13inexplicable wave

00:23:14of irritation

00:23:15and unease news

00:23:16to ripple through

00:23:17the depths of his heart.

00:23:18Vanessa,

00:23:18who was watching

00:23:19from the side,

00:23:20keenly captured the shift

00:23:21in Ronin's expression.

00:23:23A flash of panic

00:23:24crossed her eyes,

00:23:26but it was quickly replaced

00:23:28by a profound,

00:23:29calculating look.

00:23:30Vanessa stepped forward gently,

00:23:32considerably smoothing out

00:23:33the wrinkles

00:23:33on Ronin's groves

00:23:34as she spoke

00:23:35in a strained,

00:23:36high-pitched voice.

00:23:37Ronin,

00:23:38the primary mistress

00:23:39wept so heartbreakingly

00:23:40during the soul transmission.

00:23:41It has left my heart

00:23:42in a bit of a flutter as well.

00:23:43How about we go

00:23:45to the infirmary

00:23:45to take a look right now?

00:23:47After all,

00:23:48the little princess

00:23:48is also your flesh and blood.

00:23:50We absolutely mustn't

00:23:51let anything terrible happen.

00:23:53Seeing Vanessa

00:23:54being so magnanimous

00:23:55in understanding,

00:23:56the irritation

00:23:57in Ronin's heart

00:23:58dissipated quite a bit,

00:23:59and he nodded immediately.

00:24:01Very well.

00:24:02We will do as you say.

00:24:04I want to see

00:24:06what kind of trick

00:24:07she can fabric.

00:24:08Then I will go prepare

00:24:09some monospring water

00:24:10to soothe the child's mind.

00:24:13Wait for me a moment.

00:24:14Vanessa turned around,

00:24:16and the moment she was

00:24:17at an angle

00:24:17where Ronin could not see her,

00:24:18the tenderness on her

00:24:19face stently transformed

00:24:21into a twisted,

00:24:22venomous malice.

00:24:23She did not go

00:24:23to prepare any spring water.

00:24:25Instead,

00:24:25she dispatched

00:24:26Trust Vicent

00:24:27carrying heavy gold

00:24:28monocrystals

00:24:29to secretly bribe

00:24:30the doctor

00:24:30who had received Iris.

00:24:32When Vanessa

00:24:32accompanied Ronin

00:24:33and arrived at the infirmary

00:24:34in a hurried rush,

00:24:36she took advantage

00:24:36of a gap

00:24:37while Ronin was speaking

00:24:38with the nurses outside,

00:24:39using the excuse

00:24:40of checking in,

00:24:41first to stealthily slip

00:24:42into the patient room

00:24:43ahead of him,

00:24:44entirely unnoticed.

00:24:45staring at the infant

00:24:46on the hospital bed

00:24:47who was hanging

00:24:48onto life

00:24:49by a mere thread,

00:24:50the divine mark

00:24:51on her forehead

00:24:52flickering erratly.

00:24:53She ruthless gleam

00:24:54flashed through Vanessa's eyes.

00:24:57She pulled an advanced,

00:24:59consecutive illusion potion

00:25:01from her sleeve,

00:25:02a formula capable

00:25:04of temporarily suppressing

00:25:05toxicity

00:25:06and forging

00:25:07a false appearance

00:25:08of health.

00:25:09Pinching the little

00:25:10prince's delicate neck,

00:25:11she poured the illusion potion

00:25:13down

00:25:13without the slightest hesitation.

00:25:15The instant the illusion potion

00:25:17entered her mouth,

00:25:18the sickly green

00:25:19deathly energy

00:25:20on the little princess's face

00:25:21began to recede rapidly

00:25:23and the divine mark

00:25:24that was on the verge

00:25:25of cracking

00:25:26eerily smoothed over.

00:25:28Even her burning

00:25:29body temperature

00:25:30began to return to normal

00:25:32at a rapid pace.

00:25:33Aside from falling

00:25:34into a deep slumber,

00:25:35she looked exactly

00:25:37like a healthy infant

00:25:38who had merely caught

00:25:39an ordinary chill

00:25:40and was sleeping peacefully.

00:25:43The moment Ronan

00:25:44pushed open the door

00:25:45to the patient room.

00:25:46I was collapsed

00:25:47by the bedside,

00:25:48my eyes filled

00:25:49with absolute disbelief

00:25:50as I stared

00:25:51at my daughter.

00:25:52Just moments ago

00:25:53after Vanessa came in,

00:25:55under a false pretext,

00:25:57the deathly energy

00:25:58on Iris's face

00:25:59suddenly vanished.

00:26:01Even her shriveled,

00:26:02divine mark

00:26:03smoothed out.

00:26:05Ronan stepped forward

00:26:07with a freezing expression.

00:26:12He only touched

00:26:13her forehead.

00:26:16Irissa,

00:26:17her temperature

00:26:18was normal,

00:26:18her breathing

00:26:19was steady.

00:26:21Then he whipped

00:26:23his head around

00:26:23staring dead

00:26:24at my deathly

00:26:25pale face.

00:26:27His voice was sharp,

00:26:29cutting,

00:26:30and poisoned.

00:26:31Seraphana!

00:26:33This is the

00:26:34life-threatening danger

00:26:35you spoke of?

00:26:37This is the

00:26:38shattered core

00:26:39you claimed?

00:26:41Her temperature

00:26:42is normal,

00:26:42her breathing

00:26:43is steady.

00:26:45As the Lord's

00:26:45Concord,

00:26:46you dared

00:26:47to deceive me.

00:26:49Using your

00:26:50newborn daughter

00:26:51as bait

00:26:51for a jealous tantrum,

00:26:54you disgust me.

00:26:55Looking at his

00:26:56furious face,

00:26:57my entire body

00:26:58turned cold.

00:26:59No!

00:27:00Ronan,

00:27:01listen to me!

00:27:02Just moments ago,

00:27:03she was not like this!

00:27:04It was Vanessa!

00:27:05She came in just now!

00:27:07She fed something

00:27:07to Modell!

00:27:08But Ronan

00:27:09did not believe me

00:27:10for even a second.

00:27:12So I turned

00:27:13to the doctor

00:27:13beside us,

00:27:15as if he were

00:27:15my last saving straw.

00:27:17Doctor,

00:27:18speak up!

00:27:20You clearly

00:27:21told me

00:27:22had been struck

00:27:23by a forbidden poison.

00:27:25You said

00:27:25it was destroying

00:27:26her core

00:27:26and she would

00:27:27not survive

00:27:28half a month!

00:27:29But the doctor

00:27:30who had been

00:27:30pale with Tara

00:27:31moments ago

00:27:31had already

00:27:32accepted

00:27:33Vanessa's

00:27:33massive bribe.

00:27:34He did not

00:27:35dare look at me.

00:27:36Then,

00:27:37syllable by syllable,

00:27:38he pushed me

00:27:39into the abyss.

00:27:40Reporting to the Lord,

00:27:41the little princess

00:27:41merely caught a bit

00:27:42of a breeze,

00:27:43but there may be

00:27:44O-double.

00:27:44It is only

00:27:45ordinary discomfort.

00:27:46The primary mistress

00:27:47is unsettled

00:27:48after childbirth,

00:27:49overly sensitive

00:27:49and blowing a small

00:27:50matter out of proportion.

00:27:51My entire world

00:27:51shattered like a bolt

00:27:52for moments of blue.

00:27:53How could it

00:27:53suddenly change?

00:27:55Watching me fall

00:27:56to the ground

00:27:56in a distrevelled,

00:27:57helpless state,

00:27:59Vanessa,

00:27:59hidden just behind Ronan,

00:28:00let a fleeting,

00:28:01venomous smile

00:28:02of triumph

00:28:03play on the corners

00:28:04of her lips.

00:28:05Then,

00:28:05stepping forward

00:28:06at the perfect moment,

00:28:07she submissively

00:28:08wrapped her arm

00:28:09aground Ronan's,

00:28:10practically melting

00:28:11half her body

00:28:12into his embrace.

00:28:13While casting

00:28:14feigned looks of pity

00:28:15at the little princess

00:28:15on the sickbed,

00:28:17she continuously

00:28:17blew poisonous whispers

00:28:19into Ronan's ear.

00:28:20Ronan,

00:28:21don't blame

00:28:21the primary mistress

00:28:22too much.

00:28:24Iris is a girl

00:28:25after all,

00:28:26born with a weak

00:28:26constitution.

00:28:27It is only natural

00:28:29she panicked

00:28:29when a minor chill

00:28:30threw the child

00:28:30into such a state.

00:28:32It's just,

00:28:33the primary mistress

00:28:35is far too sensitive.

00:28:37Always catching

00:28:38its shadows

00:28:38and blowing

00:28:39minor inconveniences

00:28:41entirely out of proportion.

00:28:43She looked up,

00:28:44her eyes brimming

00:28:45with tenderness

00:28:45and adoration.

00:28:47Jasper's succession

00:28:47ceremony is in

00:28:48just two days.

00:28:49That is the true

00:28:50matter of gravity

00:28:51for the kingdom's

00:28:52legacy.

00:28:53We cannot let

00:28:53Seraphina delay

00:28:54your proper business

00:28:56over these trivial

00:28:57backyard squabbles.

00:29:01Let us return

00:29:02to the main manor.

00:29:03We shouldn't let

00:29:04her hysteria ruin

00:29:05our precious time

00:29:06with Jasper.

00:29:11Ronan averted

00:29:12his eyes in disgust,

00:29:13refusing to grant

00:29:14even half a glance

00:29:15to his biological

00:29:16daughter on the sickbed.

00:29:17Vanessa,

00:29:18you are the one

00:29:19who is truly sensible.

00:29:20Come,

00:29:21let us return.

00:29:23And ignore

00:29:23this mad woman.

00:29:25If she wishes

00:29:26to stay here

00:29:27and make a spectacle

00:29:28of herself,

00:29:29let her be.

00:29:30Leaning triumphantly

00:29:31against Ronan,

00:29:32Vanessa accompanied him

00:29:33as he strode out

00:29:33of the infirmary.

00:29:34Only when the footsteps

00:29:36of the pair

00:29:36had completely faded

00:29:37did the doctor,

00:29:39who had been kneeling

00:29:40on the ground,

00:29:41suddenly collapse

00:29:42in a heap.

00:29:42He scrambled

00:29:43on his hands

00:29:44and knees

00:29:45to my feet,

00:29:46cooting frantically

00:29:47while crying out

00:29:48in absolute despair.

00:29:49Your highness,

00:29:51primary mistress,

00:29:52please do not blame me.

00:29:55I deserve to die.

00:29:56I deserve to die.

00:29:58Why did you lie just now?

00:30:00Madam Vanessa

00:30:01has officially moved

00:30:02into the Lord's main mansion

00:30:03with the heir

00:30:04and enjoys

00:30:05the Lord's absolute favor.

00:30:07She is the future

00:30:08primary mistress

00:30:10of the kingdom.

00:30:10Before the Lord

00:30:11entered just now,

00:30:12she pulled me aside

00:30:13and threatened

00:30:14that if I did not cooperate,

00:30:15she would take

00:30:15my entire family's lives tonight

00:30:17and even have the Lord

00:30:18take my head.

00:30:18She would truly kill me.

00:30:19Listening to the doctor's

00:30:20desperate wails,

00:30:21I looked at my daughter

00:30:22on the sick head,

00:30:22whose condition was

00:30:23forcibly masked

00:30:24as peaceful

00:30:24by the illusionless poison.

00:30:25Ronan,

00:30:26to cater to your first love,

00:30:27you personally abandoned

00:30:28the sole opportunity

00:30:29to save your biological daughter.

00:30:31You will live

00:30:32to regret this.

00:30:36Three days later,

00:30:38Elid spared no expense.

00:30:39Utilizing over half

00:30:41of the Wind Kingdom's treasury

00:30:42to organize

00:30:43an incredibly extravagant

00:30:45dawn trial

00:30:45for three-year-old Jasper.

00:30:47The streets of the main city

00:30:49were carpeted

00:30:50with sacred florencent petals

00:30:52and they went so far

00:30:55as to exceptionally tame

00:30:57nine pure white unicorns

00:30:59to draw a crystal-invented float

00:31:03in a high-profile parade

00:31:05across the territory.

00:31:08As Vanessa held the hand

00:31:10of a magnificently dressed Jasper,

00:31:13his delicate little elven wings

00:31:15fluttering,

00:31:16and ascended the float,

00:31:19waves of deafening cheers erupted

00:31:21across the skies

00:31:22of the Wind Kingdom.

00:31:24Meanwhile,

00:31:24in a dark corner

00:31:25of the Grand Hall,

00:31:26I cradled my daughter,

00:31:28whose life force

00:31:29was growing fainter

00:31:29by the moment,

00:31:30watching this absurd fast

00:31:32with cold detachment.

00:31:33Without the Lord's

00:31:34explicit permission,

00:31:36my daughter and I

00:31:36lacked even the right

00:31:38to enter the main hall,

00:31:41forced to stand

00:31:42in the freezing wind

00:31:44of the outer gallery.

00:31:45Just then,

00:31:46Vanessa,

00:31:47basking in the adoration

00:31:48atop the float,

00:31:50spotted my figure from afar.

00:31:51With a flicker in her eyes,

00:31:53she intentionally walked towards me

00:31:55with a smug smile.

00:31:56Covering her mouth

00:31:57with a handkerchief,

00:31:58she let out a feigned sigh

00:31:59of self-reploach,

00:32:00though her eyes were filled

00:32:02with condescending charity.

00:32:04Sister,

00:32:05do not blame Mother and Ronin

00:32:06for being heartless.

00:32:07The Withered Tower is peaceful,

00:32:09making it the perfect place

00:32:10for your magic-deficient daughter

00:32:12to recuperate.

00:32:13Today is our Jasper's

00:32:14succession celebration.

00:32:15You shouldn't have brought her out

00:32:16in the first place.

00:32:17Look at her.

00:32:18Even her divine mark

00:32:19is on the verge of dispersing.

00:32:21We must not let her clash

00:32:23with Jasper's unicorn fortune.

00:32:25After today,

00:32:26Jasper will be

00:32:27the rightful first heir,

00:32:28while you,

00:32:29the primary mistress,

00:32:31are fit only to watch us

00:32:32ascend to the peak

00:32:33from the mud

00:32:33for the rest of your life!

00:32:34While Vanessa subjected me

00:32:36to endless mockery,

00:32:37the parade reached

00:32:38its absolute climax.

00:32:40Clad in a magnificent

00:32:42silver-white robe,

00:32:43a commanding

00:32:43and majestic Ronin

00:32:45ascended the central

00:32:46divine altar

00:32:47under the gaze

00:32:48of the masses.

00:32:49Raising his hands,

00:32:50he used amplification magic

00:32:51to declare to the entire field

00:32:53his voice echoing

00:32:55through the heavens

00:32:56arrogant

00:32:56and ecstatic.

00:32:58Today is not only

00:32:59the celebratory feast,

00:33:00establishing my son

00:33:02Jasper's status as heir,

00:33:03but the starting point

00:33:04for our Wind Kingdoms

00:33:06to march towards

00:33:06the peak

00:33:07of all kingdoms!

00:33:08I officially announce here

00:33:10that we are exerting

00:33:11every effort

00:33:11to secure

00:33:12multiple major

00:33:13cooperations

00:33:14with the mysterious

00:33:15and supreme

00:33:16High Elven King

00:33:17of the Sanctuary!

00:33:18I couldn't help but laugh.

00:33:19The supreme High Elven King

00:33:21they were so desperately

00:33:22trying to fawn over?

00:33:23That's my father.

00:33:24It's time for me

00:33:24to turn the tables.

00:33:27The moment

00:33:28these words

00:33:28were spoken

00:33:30a massive uproar

00:33:32rippled through

00:33:33the crowd.

00:33:35The High Elven King

00:33:36was the supreme ruler

00:33:37of the entire

00:33:38Elven world.

00:33:41A godlike existence.

00:33:44If they could obtain

00:33:45even a shred

00:33:45of that lord's favor,

00:33:47the Wind Kingdom

00:33:48could instantly ascend

00:33:49into the ranks

00:33:50of the super kingdoms.

00:33:52Ronan's face

00:33:53was flushed

00:33:54with absolute pride,

00:33:55his features

00:33:56bearing an unmaskable

00:33:57arrogance

00:33:59as he turned

00:34:00an affectionate gaze

00:34:01to Vanessa

00:34:01and Jasper.

00:34:04Once this cooperation

00:34:06is finalized,

00:34:07Jasper will not only

00:34:08be the king

00:34:08of the Wind Kingdom,

00:34:12but the most noble

00:34:13young commander

00:34:14of the future sanctuary!

00:34:15I shall use

00:34:17the eternal prosperity

00:34:18of the supreme sanctuary

00:34:20to make up

00:34:21for the grieges

00:34:22Vanessa

00:34:23and her son

00:34:24suffered

00:34:25over the past

00:34:26three years!

00:34:28Vanessa cast

00:34:29a provocative glance

00:34:30at me,

00:34:31her eyes brimming

00:34:32with ostentatience

00:34:33and disdain.

00:34:34Ronan's gaze

00:34:35toward me

00:34:35was also filled

00:34:36with ultimate coldness,

00:34:37as if mocking

00:34:39my instant

00:34:39magnificence

00:34:40and incompetence.

00:34:41However,

00:34:42watching Ronan's

00:34:43self-righteous declaration,

00:34:44I felt not a single

00:34:45shred of anger.

00:34:47Instead,

00:34:48I lowered my head

00:34:49and gently kissed

00:34:50the suppressed

00:34:50divine mark

00:34:51on my daughter's forehead.

00:34:52The sole direct

00:34:54bloodline

00:34:55of the High Elven King

00:34:56is,

00:34:58at this very moment,

00:35:00lying within

00:35:00the swaddling clothes

00:35:02you have dismissed

00:35:04as worthless garbage.

00:35:08Ronan,

00:35:09Vanessa,

00:35:10the supreme divinity

00:35:11you are scheming to please

00:35:13by any means necessary

00:35:15is the very person

00:35:17you have personally

00:35:18pushed into the abyss

00:35:19and trampled upon

00:35:21in every way.

00:35:22Me.

00:35:23The corners of my lips

00:35:24ferved into an icy arc

00:35:25and the suppressed rage

00:35:27and hatred in my heart

00:35:28transformed into

00:35:29the most ruthless

00:35:30anticipation

00:35:31at this moment.

00:35:33Wind Kingdom,

00:35:34the final revelry

00:35:36of your lives

00:35:37ends

00:35:38here.

00:35:42After a few days

00:35:43of revelry,

00:35:44the disguise

00:35:45of the illusion potion

00:35:46finally collapsed

00:35:49like a castle of sand.

00:35:51Lying on the stone bed

00:35:52of the withered tower,

00:35:53the toxins within

00:35:54my daughter's body

00:35:55broke past all restraint,

00:35:56erupting violently.

00:35:57She fell

00:35:58into a prolonged coma,

00:36:00her tiny body

00:36:01burning with a terrifying fever.

00:36:03Her lips cracked and pale,

00:36:05her breathing reduced

00:36:06to a flickering candle

00:36:07in the wind.

00:36:10liable to extinguish

00:36:11at any moment.

00:36:13I knelt by the bedside,

00:36:15my magic entirely dried up,

00:36:18leaving me helpless

00:36:19as I pressed my cheek

00:36:20against her icy little hand.

00:36:23My tears long since dried.

00:36:26Just as I was on the verge

00:36:28of despairing unto death,

00:36:29the wooden door

00:36:30of the high tower

00:36:31was suddenly pushed open

00:36:33in a frenzy.

00:36:33The Wind Kingdom Doctor

00:36:35burst in,

00:36:36dripping with sweat,

00:36:37his eyes a tangled mess

00:36:39of guilt and terror.

00:36:40With trembling hands,

00:36:42he presented a crystal bottle,

00:36:44radiating a warm,

00:36:46sacred golden light

00:36:47like the midday sun.

00:36:49This medicine

00:36:49can neutralize all poisons,

00:36:51save those on the brink of death,

00:36:53and immensely nourish

00:36:54the bloodline

00:36:55of an elven babe.

00:36:56Please,

00:36:57feed it to the little princess quickly.

00:36:58This is her sole path

00:37:00to survival.

00:37:01Staring at that ball

00:37:02of sacred golden light,

00:37:03my deadened heart

00:37:04began to beat frantically.

00:37:05I snatched the spiritual medicine,

00:37:07clutching it tightly to my chest,

00:37:08my heart overflowing with joy

00:37:09as I believed my daughter

00:37:11was finally saved.

00:37:12Trembling,

00:37:13I pulled the cork,

00:37:15preparing to feed

00:37:16this life-saving drop

00:37:17into my daughter's mouth.

00:37:19When the tower door

00:37:20was violently blown open

00:37:22with a resounding clash,

00:37:23a wild wind rushed in

00:37:25as Alina,

00:37:27flanked by her attendants,

00:37:28strode in with a majestic

00:37:30yet greedy expression.

00:37:31Before I could even react,

00:37:33she ruthlessly snatched

00:37:34the crystal bottle

00:37:35right out of my hands!

00:37:40Illion gripped the flask

00:37:41of sacred tree extract tightly.

00:37:43Feeling the boundless sacred energy

00:37:45swirling within,

00:37:46a fanatical greed erupted

00:37:47in her eyes.

00:37:48Give it back to me!

00:37:50That is Iris'

00:37:52life-saving medicine!

00:37:53I lunged forward like a madman

00:37:54to reclaim the medicine.

00:37:55Give it back!

00:37:57Only to be ruthlessly pinned

00:37:59to the ground

00:38:00by two high-tier guards

00:38:01using their magical stabs.

00:38:03My knees slammed

00:38:04against the hard stone tiles,

00:38:06emitting a sickening crack.

00:38:08Following closely behind,

00:38:11Ronan looked down at me

00:38:12with cold detachment,

00:38:14devoid of any pity.

00:38:16Aleda trembled with excitement,

00:38:17refusing to grant

00:38:19even a single glance

00:38:20to the dying daughter

00:38:21on the sickbed,

00:38:22her mind and heart

00:38:23entirely occupied

00:38:24by her precious

00:38:25eldest grandson.

00:38:25Roar on!

00:38:27Look at this!

00:38:27This is the legendary

00:38:28sacred tree extract!

00:38:30Though three-year-old Jasper

00:38:31is extraordinarily gifted,

00:38:32his skeletal frame

00:38:33hasn't fully matured yet.

00:38:35If we let him drink

00:38:36this divine item,

00:38:37his wind magic

00:38:38will undergo

00:38:39a complete metamorphosis,

00:38:40allowing him to grow taller

00:38:42and more powerful

00:38:43than any peer,

00:38:44entirely solidifying

00:38:45his position

00:38:46as the first heir

00:38:47under the kingdom's spotlight.

00:38:49Mother is correct.

00:38:52Leaving such a bloodline treasure

00:38:53in the Withered Tower

00:38:54would be an utter waste

00:38:56of a divine gift.

00:38:57Only Jasper

00:38:58is worthy of enjoying it.

00:39:01Vanessa walked in

00:39:01at that moment

00:39:02carrying three-year-old Jasper,

00:39:04looking at me

00:39:04pinned to the ground

00:39:05by the guards,

00:39:06coughing up blood

00:39:07in a disheveled state.

00:39:08The triumph and amusement

00:39:09in her eyes

00:39:10threatened to spill over.

00:39:11The three of them

00:39:11huddled together,

00:39:12admiring the item

00:39:13as if inspecting

00:39:14a supreme treasure

00:39:15filled with praises,

00:39:16while I could only

00:39:17watch helplessly

00:39:18as the saving straw

00:39:19belonged to my daughter

00:39:20was stripped away

00:39:21completely.

00:39:23Amid my agonized weeping,

00:39:25that priceless flask

00:39:26of sacred tree extract

00:39:28was gently yet

00:39:30forcefully poured

00:39:31into the mouth

00:39:32of the perfectly

00:39:33livable Jasper

00:39:34by El Adid.

00:39:35The moment

00:39:35the divine item

00:39:36entered his mouth,

00:39:37a blinding golden current

00:39:39erupted across

00:39:40Jasper's body.

00:39:41Not only did his

00:39:42wind attribute magic

00:39:43surge instantly,

00:39:44but his height

00:39:45even seemed to increase

00:39:46slightly.

00:39:48The three-year-old toddler

00:39:49excitedly brashed

00:39:50his magic in the hall

00:39:51while Ronan and Vanessa

00:39:52surrounded him,

00:39:54letting out waves

00:39:54of absolute delight.

00:39:57The happier their laughter,

00:39:59the more shattered

00:39:59my heart became.

00:40:01Ronan looked down upon me

00:40:02as I lay limp

00:40:02on the ground,

00:40:03his cold words

00:40:04cutting like blades.

00:40:06Seraphina,

00:40:07cease your weeping here.

00:40:09Jasper is the future

00:40:11hope of the kingdom.

00:40:12Giving this medicine

00:40:13to him ensures

00:40:14it is put to its

00:40:15proper use.

00:40:16As for Iris,

00:40:18it has been said

00:40:19she merely has

00:40:20a common chill.

00:40:22It is not worth

00:40:23delaying proper business

00:40:24over her

00:40:25and she certainly

00:40:26does not deserve

00:40:26a divine object

00:40:27like the sacred tree extract.

00:40:29Flicking his sleeves,

00:40:31Ronan turned

00:40:32and left heartlessly,

00:40:33taking the room's

00:40:34laughter with him.

00:40:35When they departed

00:40:36entirely,

00:40:37the tower plunged

00:40:38back into a deathly silence.

00:40:40I crawled to the bedside,

00:40:42looking at my empty hands

00:40:44and then at my daughter,

00:40:46whose core was withering

00:40:47as she spit out

00:40:48another mouthful

00:40:49of black blood

00:40:50from the poison

00:40:50gripping her heart.

00:40:51My daughter opened

00:40:52her eyes weakly,

00:40:53rubbing against my palm

00:40:54with a touch of attachment

00:40:55before sinking entirely

00:40:57into a deathly coldness.

00:40:59Slowly raising

00:41:00my right hand,

00:41:01I spared no cost

00:41:02to force out

00:41:03the final drop

00:41:04of supreme golden blood

00:41:06from my heart,

00:41:07drawing a sacred

00:41:08golden-winged arma

00:41:09in the void.

00:41:10Through the array,

00:41:12a connection

00:41:12was instantly forged

00:41:14to the deepest depths

00:41:15of the Sanctuary,

00:41:16unleashing a supreme pressure

00:41:18that made all kingdoms tremble.

00:41:20My daughter,

00:41:21you are finally willing

00:41:22to contact your father.

00:41:23You have suffered

00:41:24these past three years.

00:41:26Cradling the icy form

00:41:27tightly in my arms,

00:41:28tears of blood

00:41:28tracing down my face.

00:41:29My voice was completely calm,

00:41:31devoid of a single ripple

00:41:32has been from emotion.

00:41:33My daughter is dying.

00:41:34Please open the gates

00:41:34of the Sanctuary

00:41:35and take us mother and daughter

00:41:36home.

00:41:37The supreme array

00:41:39faded into the air

00:41:40and forcing my dying,

00:41:42battered body forward,

00:41:43I carried my daughter

00:41:44out of the withered tower.

00:41:46My daughter's fragile form

00:41:47barely clung to life.

00:41:49Without disturbing anyone,

00:41:51I walked step by step

00:41:53to the center

00:41:53of the territory,

00:41:55stopping before

00:41:55the Tree of Life.

00:41:56Then I was robed

00:41:58the road of to stand

00:41:58into the Uru Mayan

00:42:00number stool.

00:42:01Swearing by the supreme

00:42:03bloodline,

00:42:04I sever the covenant

00:42:05and erase my holy name

00:42:07here today.

00:42:12Inside the main manor,

00:42:14Ronan felt a sudden

00:42:16violent spasm of pain

00:42:17strike his chest.

00:42:20Ronan,

00:42:22three years of marital devotion

00:42:23has been personally severed

00:42:24by your hand today.

00:42:26The trampling you granted me

00:42:27I have accepted.

00:42:28From this day forward,

00:42:29we shall not meet again

00:42:29in life nor death.

00:42:31Serafina,

00:42:32what madness

00:42:32are you throwing now

00:42:33over such a trivial matter

00:42:34you would go so far

00:42:35as to harm your own body

00:42:36to forge a fortune backlash?

00:42:38I have no time

00:42:39to play these

00:42:39cat and mouse games

00:42:40with you.

00:42:41If you have the ability

00:42:42to leave,

00:42:42then ensure you never return!

00:42:45Death has simply

00:42:46been spoiled by you.

00:42:48In a couple of days,

00:42:49once she has suffered

00:42:50enough outside,

00:42:51she will naturally

00:42:52come back begging

00:42:53on her needs.

00:42:54Let us ignore her.

00:42:57That night,

00:42:58the entire main manor

00:43:00of the Wind Kingdom

00:43:01was brightly lit

00:43:03and adorned

00:43:05with festive decorations.

00:43:06To celebrate

00:43:07three-year-old Jasper

00:43:08consuming the sacred tree extract

00:43:11and experiencing

00:43:12a surge in magic,

00:43:14Aline ordered

00:43:15an all-night festival

00:43:16of music and dance.

00:43:18Inside the magnificent

00:43:20main hall,

00:43:20the aroma of fine wine

00:43:22filled the air

00:43:22as countless high-tier elves

00:43:24raised their glasses

00:43:25in unison,

00:43:26surrounding Vanessa

00:43:27and her son at the center

00:43:28with absolute flattery

00:43:29and Odysseus-ness.

00:43:31Ronan sat upon his throne,

00:43:33looking at his triumphant

00:43:34eldest son,

00:43:36his eyes filled with pride

00:43:38and certainty

00:43:39that the kingdom

00:43:40was about to ascend

00:43:41to the peak

00:43:42of all kingdoms.

00:43:44The hypocritical

00:43:45and fanatical cheers

00:43:46echoed through the night sky,

00:43:48transforming the entire temple

00:43:50into a city

00:43:51that never slept.

00:43:53Yet no one noticed

00:43:54that on the desolate path,

00:43:55at the outmost edge

00:43:57of the main city,

00:43:58leading towards

00:43:58the Forbidden Forest,

00:44:00a slender and resolute figure

00:44:01was carrying a swaddling cloth,

00:44:03stepping into the

00:44:04boundless curtain of night.

00:44:05The freezing rain

00:44:06slammed down merseusely.

00:44:07Serafina's face

00:44:08was deathly still,

00:44:09but her hands held

00:44:10the daughter in her arms

00:44:11with absolute tightness.

00:44:12Iris's breathing

00:44:13within the cloth

00:44:14was faint,

00:44:14her tiny body

00:44:15gradually turning

00:44:16stirby and cold.

00:44:17Serafina did not

00:44:18cast a single glance back

00:44:19at the false prosperity

00:44:20of the Wind Kingdom

00:44:21behind her.

00:44:22Her eyes held

00:44:23no more tears,

00:44:24only an indifference

00:44:24that chilled to the bone.

00:44:26The singing and dancing

00:44:27inside the main hall

00:44:28continued,

00:44:29and Ronan was smiling

00:44:30as he accepted

00:44:30the fine wine

00:44:31handed to him by Vanessa.

00:44:32At that exact instant,

00:44:34deep within the dark forest

00:44:35far away,

00:44:36the violent cold wind

00:44:36came to an abrupt halt

00:44:37without warning.

00:44:38A sliver of incredibly noble,

00:44:40sacred and tore through

00:44:40the darkness of the polar night.

00:44:42The frame foes

00:44:42at the edge

00:44:43of the dark,

00:44:44silent forest.

00:44:45The sounds of the Wind Kingdom

00:44:46celebratory songs and laugh

00:44:47still echoed faintly,

00:44:48but the moment

00:44:49the mother and girl's

00:44:50slender yet matchlessly

00:44:51noble fears

00:44:51that sliver of golden light,

00:44:53they instantly transformed

00:44:54into a remnant gleam,

00:44:56vanishing completely

00:44:57into the endless night.

00:44:59The sacred light

00:45:00erupted outward

00:45:01at the center

00:45:02of the royal hall

00:45:02in the supreme sanctuary.

00:45:04Holding my daughter,

00:45:05who had practically

00:45:06stopped breathing,

00:45:07I finally collapsed

00:45:08onto my knees

00:45:09against the flawless

00:45:10white jade floor tiles,

00:45:12my strength entirely spent.

00:45:13My long hair

00:45:14was soaked through

00:45:15by the terricious rain

00:45:16sticking messily

00:45:16to my deathly pale cheeks.

00:45:17The weakness

00:45:18of postparting recovery,

00:45:19combled with the trauma

00:45:19of forcibly reversing

00:45:21my source power,

00:45:21caused me to leave

00:45:22a striking trail

00:45:23of blood with every step.

00:45:24Sitting high upon his throne,

00:45:26my father rose abruptly.

00:45:27When he clearly saw

00:45:28my broken state

00:45:29at the bottom of the steps,

00:45:30his majestic noble face,

00:45:31which had 10,000 years

00:45:32of history,

00:45:33trembled violently

00:45:34with immense shock

00:45:35and heartache.

00:45:36Moving like a blur,

00:45:37he materialized by my side

00:45:39in an instant,

00:45:40his hands shaking

00:45:41as he tried to lift me up.

00:45:43My daughter!

00:45:44How did you become

00:45:45like this?

00:45:47Your supreme magic,

00:45:49which even 10,000 kingdoms

00:45:51look up to,

00:45:52why has it withered

00:45:53to such an extent?

00:45:56I slowly raised my head,

00:45:57the tears of blood

00:45:58at the corners of my eye

00:45:59long since dried.

00:46:00I did not cry out.

00:46:01I merely used

00:46:02the final shred of strength

00:46:03in my body

00:46:03to tremblingly present

00:46:04the swaddling cloth

00:46:05to my father.

00:46:06Father, save her.

00:46:08She is Ronin's

00:46:09biological flesh and blood,

00:46:10yet they dismissed her

00:46:11as a lowerly wretch

00:46:12to steal her life-saving medicine.

00:46:14They fed my iris

00:46:15forbidden illusion potions

00:46:16to forcibly mask the truth.

00:46:18She has been poisoned

00:46:19with soul-eating grass,

00:46:20and her magic core

00:46:22is on the verge of shattering.

00:46:23My father took

00:46:24the tiny swatting cloth

00:46:25with trembling hands.

00:46:26When his divine sense

00:46:27swept tross his granddaughter's

00:46:29battered natural core,

00:46:30which was being ravenously

00:46:31consumed by the poison,

00:46:33this supreme gaiety

00:46:34who ruled over

00:46:35the entire sanctuary

00:46:36felt his eyes

00:46:37turn instantly bloodluck

00:46:38immediately following

00:46:39a terrifying,

00:46:41world-destroying

00:46:42pressure erupted

00:46:43violently from his body.

00:46:47In an instant,

00:46:49the skies above

00:46:50the entire supreme sanctuary

00:46:51shifted dramatically

00:46:52as the once-bright heavens

00:46:53were enveloped

00:46:53by rolling black clouds

00:46:54and violent thunderbolts.

00:46:55The ancient vines

00:46:56surrounding the royal hall,

00:46:57which had flourished

00:46:58for tens of thousands

00:46:59of years,

00:47:00seemed to feel

00:47:00the king's ultimate fury,

00:47:02trembling wildly

00:47:03and thrashing against the ground

00:47:04as the entire sacred mountain

00:47:06shook violently

00:47:06under the divine rage.

00:47:08My father raised

00:47:09his right hand high,

00:47:10the destructive divine lightning

00:47:11flashing frankly

00:47:12at his fingertips.

00:47:13He stared dead

00:47:14at his dying granddaughter

00:47:15within the cloth,

00:47:16his gnashing words

00:47:17wrapped in supreme divine authority

00:47:18as they echoed

00:47:19through heaven and earth.

00:47:20The Wind Kingdom?

00:47:22Ronan!

00:47:23You ants dare to torture

00:47:24my only daughter

00:47:25in such a manner

00:47:26and strike ruthlessly

00:47:27against my newborn granddaughter.

00:47:29Pass down my

00:47:30dissension pathways

00:47:30the Wind Kingdom!

00:47:32Whosoever dares harm

00:47:33my god,

00:47:33I shall demand

00:47:34their entire kingdom

00:47:35accompany her in death!

00:47:37To rescue Iris

00:47:38from the brink of death,

00:47:40my father did not hesitate

00:47:41for a moment,

00:47:42immediately ordering

00:47:43the opening

00:47:44of the life core

00:47:44of the ancient sacred tree

00:47:46that had lived

00:47:47for one hundred thousand years

00:47:48within the forbidden grounds.

00:47:49This was the energy source

00:47:51of the entire elfin world,

00:47:53a place where even

00:47:54the high priests

00:47:55of the sanctuary

00:47:56had no right

00:47:57to approach normally.

00:47:58Yet it was fully open today

00:48:00for my daughter.

00:48:02Every top holy tier healer

00:48:04within the sanctuary

00:48:05was assembled overnight.

00:48:11The golden life core

00:48:13floated gently

00:48:13above the sickbed,

00:48:14radiating a soft,

00:48:15vast,

00:48:16and ocean-like purity

00:48:16of magic.

00:48:17A canopy of brilliant

00:48:18golden light

00:48:19wrapped around Iris'

00:48:20tiny body layer by layer

00:48:21like a coon

00:48:22nourished by this

00:48:23immense life force.

00:48:24The faint golden

00:48:25divine mark

00:48:25on Iris' forehead,

00:48:27which had been nearly

00:48:28cracked and extinguished,

00:48:29finally flickered

00:48:30with a weak resonance

00:48:31under the caress

00:48:33of the divine light.

00:48:33I kept watch by the bedside,

00:48:36my face pale,

00:48:37never leaving her side

00:48:38for a single pace.

00:48:40I watched with my own eyes

00:48:41as those holy gris healers

00:48:43transformed secret medicines

00:48:44into golden needles,

00:48:45extracting the stubborn

00:48:46soul-eating grease poison

00:48:48from my daughter's body,

00:48:49inch by inch.

00:48:50Every time that the poison

00:48:51was forced out,

00:48:52my daughter would let

00:48:53our faint kitten-like

00:48:55whipper of pain,

00:48:56and those drops

00:48:56of black toxic blood

00:48:58would instantly corrode

00:48:59scorched hole

00:49:00into the pure white sheets

00:49:01upon hitting them.

00:49:02My daughter,

00:49:04watching her suffer,

00:49:05tore at my heart

00:49:06as if it were being cut

00:49:07by ten thousand blades.

00:49:09Ronan,

00:49:09Vanessa,

00:49:10the pain you inflicted

00:49:11upon my child,

00:49:12I will ensure you

00:49:13repay it a thousand times.

00:49:14It was a grueling

00:49:15two days and nights

00:49:17of hovering between

00:49:18life and death.

00:49:21As the first ray

00:49:22of the sanctuary's

00:49:23warm morning sun

00:49:24pierced through the window frame

00:49:25on the third day,

00:49:27Iris suddenly let out

00:49:28a resounding cry

00:49:29from the bed.

00:49:30That cry was no longer

00:49:31weak and filled with despair

00:49:33like before,

00:49:34but brimming with the

00:49:35strength of a new life.

00:49:36The golden divine mark

00:49:37on her forehead

00:49:38restored completely,

00:49:39and her once pale little face

00:49:41began to flush with color,

00:49:43her skin radiating

00:49:44a healthy glow.

00:49:45Congratulations, king!

00:49:47Congratulations, holy princess!

00:49:48The virilest poison

00:49:49within the little princess's

00:49:50body has completely dissolved.

00:49:51Not only is her life secured,

00:49:53but her bloodline

00:49:53has completely awa-

00:49:54Looking at my daughter's face

00:49:55as she clenched her tiny fists

00:49:56in blue bubbles,

00:49:57the tears I had suppressed

00:49:58for three long years

00:50:00finally broke through

00:50:01the floodgates.

00:50:03The morning sun spilled

00:50:04across the luxurious couch

00:50:05when Vanessa was gently

00:50:06helping Ronan into his robes.

00:50:08However, Ronan's brow

00:50:09was furrowed tightly,

00:50:10his handsome face clouded

00:50:12with undeniable irritation

00:50:13and gloom.

00:50:14Right then,

00:50:14a panic-starting bell rang out

00:50:15from outside the main temple.

00:50:17Several elders scrambled

00:50:17into the hall,

00:50:18their faces as white as sheets.

00:50:20Lord!

00:50:20Disaster has struck!

00:50:21The soldiers guarding

00:50:22the ascension platform

00:50:23just reported

00:50:24that our kingdom's passage

00:50:25to the sanctuary

00:50:26has been violently locked

00:50:27from above

00:50:28by an unspeakable

00:50:29supreme divine authority.

00:50:31The gates of the divine realm

00:50:33are closed to us.

00:50:35What did you say?

00:50:38The passage is locked.

00:50:41Who could possibly

00:50:43have such power?

00:50:44In that instant,

00:50:45the image of Serafina's

00:50:46cold, ruthless phantom

00:50:48before her departure

00:50:49flashed through his mind

00:50:50and his heart sank.

00:50:52Could it be...

00:50:53Serafina?

00:50:54But the moment

00:50:55the thought arose,

00:50:56it was instantly crushed

00:50:57by the deep-rooted arrogance

00:50:58in his heart.

00:50:59He let out a cold,

00:51:01self-decricketing laugh.

00:51:02Serafina was nothing more

00:51:03than a lowly woman

00:51:04with no background,

00:51:05inferior even to

00:51:06a low-tier elf

00:51:07of the Wintuary

00:51:08that happened to affect

00:51:08their kingdom.

00:51:11Seeing his distress,

00:51:13Vanessa quickly moved closer,

00:51:15wrapping her arms

00:51:16around his

00:51:17to comfort him,

00:51:18teasingly.

00:51:19Exactly, Lord.

00:51:21Sister ran away

00:51:22in a tantrum

00:51:22and is probably

00:51:23hiding in some inn

00:51:24using that sickly brat

00:51:26to threaten you

00:51:27until you soften.

00:51:28How could she possibly

00:51:29have the power

00:51:29to lock the ascension platform?

00:51:33Ronan pressed

00:51:34his throbbing temples.

00:51:35A strange sensation

00:51:37of losing his kingdom's fortune

00:51:39made him increasingly restless.

00:51:40Pushing Vanessa away,

00:51:42he strode toward

00:51:43the Covenant Temple

00:51:44with a dark expression.

00:51:47However,

00:51:48the moment Ronan

00:51:48stepped into

00:51:49the Covenant Temple,

00:51:50the priest on duty

00:51:51collapsed to the floor

00:51:52in sheer terror,

00:51:53his face deathly pale.

00:51:54What are you panicking for?

00:51:55Bring out the Covenant

00:51:56Jade plaques

00:51:57for Serafina and the infant.

00:51:58I want to see where

00:51:59they are hiding

00:51:59and laughing at me!

00:52:01My lord,

00:52:02spare my life!

00:52:03They cannot be brought out!

00:52:05Just three days ago,

00:52:07the primary mistress

00:52:08covenant mark

00:52:08under the Tree of Life

00:52:10was forcibly erased!

00:52:12What did you say?

00:52:14Forcibly erased?

00:52:16Not only is it gone,

00:52:17but the mother and daughter

00:52:18used an ancient secret ritual

00:52:20to completely delete

00:52:21all their holy names

00:52:22from the Elfin race.

00:52:23Half of the Tree of Life

00:52:24has withered.

00:52:25I used every tracking method

00:52:26available,

00:52:27but they are all untraceable.

00:52:29They have completely severed

00:52:30their bloodline

00:52:31and connection

00:52:31with the Wind Kingdom.

00:52:33Well played,

00:52:33Serafina!

00:52:35To resort to such

00:52:36a self-harming,

00:52:37despicable trick

00:52:38as deleting

00:52:39your holy name,

00:52:40do you think

00:52:41you can escape

00:52:41just by doing that?

00:52:42I want to see

00:52:43how many days

00:52:44you can last out there

00:52:45with your dying daughter

00:52:47without the protection

00:52:48of the Wind Kingdom.

00:52:50Watching her daughter

00:52:51sleep peacefully

00:52:52in the divine light

00:52:53of the sacred tree,

00:52:55Serafina slowly stood up.

00:52:57The mole the tender

00:52:58she turned to

00:52:58vanished from her eyes,

00:53:00replaced by a bottomless

00:53:01coldness and resolve.

00:53:03Father,

00:53:03I was too foolish

00:53:04in the past

00:53:05to repay a trivial

00:53:06mortal deed.

00:53:07I degraded myself

00:53:08to cater to a blind,

00:53:09cold-blooded mortal.

00:53:11In return,

00:53:12they trampled

00:53:12all over me

00:53:13and nearly caused

00:53:14my daughter's death!

00:53:15She raised her hand,

00:53:16slicing through the air

00:53:17like a blade.

00:53:18As an invisible

00:53:19emotional barrier

00:53:20shattered,

00:53:21the painful memories

00:53:22of her humiliation,

00:53:24Ronan's neglect,

00:53:25and Vanessa's framing

00:53:26in the Wind Kingdom

00:53:27were sealed

00:53:28deep within her heart.

00:53:29From this day forward,

00:53:30the lowly,

00:53:31submissive consort

00:53:32of the Wind Kingdom

00:53:33no longer exists

00:53:34to ensure we are

00:53:35never trampled on again

00:53:36and to control

00:53:37my daughter's destiny.

00:53:38I willingly accept

00:53:39the royal bloodline baptism.

00:53:41Looking at his daughter,

00:53:42whose gaze had become

00:53:43as sharp as a hawk,

00:53:44the high-elval king

00:53:45felt a surge of relief

00:53:46and pride.

00:53:46He immediately gave

00:53:47his stern approval.

00:53:48Half an hour later,

00:53:49the gates to the sanctuary's

00:53:50core forbidden grounds

00:53:51swung open.

00:53:52This was the sacred

00:53:52training pool exclusive

00:53:53to the heirs of

00:53:54the supreme royal family.

00:53:55Filled with primeval

00:53:56priadan magic

00:53:56accumulated over

00:53:5710,000 years,

00:53:58and to an ordinary

00:53:59high elf would explode

00:54:00and die from touching

00:54:01even a single drop,

00:54:02and to enduring

00:54:03the agonizing pain

00:54:04of a complete

00:54:04bone-shattering

00:54:05transcendent.

00:54:05Without any hesitation,

00:54:07under the avarstek gaze

00:54:08of 10,000

00:54:09pure-blooded

00:54:10elven guards,

00:54:11Seraphina stepped

00:54:11relutely into the

00:54:12terrifying,

00:54:13surging sacred pool

00:54:14clad in a simple

00:54:15white robe.

00:54:16Boom!

00:54:16The moment her body

00:54:17was completely submerged,

00:54:18the ancient magic

00:54:19erupted,

00:54:20unleashing towering

00:54:21golden waves.

00:54:21The violent

00:54:22prepezzanard energy

00:54:23slashed through her

00:54:23merpicrians and bones

00:54:24like countless blades.

00:54:25Yet, she did not

00:54:26even flinch.

00:54:27The nine sore seals

00:54:27she had petitioned herself

00:54:28to repay her debt

00:54:29to Ronian,

00:54:30began to shatter and unravel,

00:54:31completely awakening

00:54:32her de-dormant power

00:54:33under the furious onslaught.

00:54:35Smash!

00:54:36Ronan shattered

00:54:37his communication array

00:54:38for the 12th time.

00:54:39Every time he tried

00:54:40to connect with Seraphina

00:54:41through a soul transmission,

00:54:43he was met with

00:54:43nothing but a cold,

00:54:44empty echo,

00:54:45and the piercing pain

00:54:46of magical backlash.

00:54:48His frustration

00:54:49reached its peep

00:54:50as a suffocating panic

00:54:51of losing control

00:54:52gripped his throat.

00:54:53Just then,

00:54:54the hall doors

00:54:55pushed open,

00:54:56and Vanessa walked in

00:54:57smiling,

00:54:58holding three-year-old

00:54:58Jaspid by the hand.

00:55:00Roman, look!

00:55:01After taking

00:55:02the sacred tree extract today,

00:55:04Jasper can already

00:55:05control two

00:55:06high-tier Windblades!

00:55:08He truly is

00:55:10your eldest son.

00:55:12Ronan turned

00:55:13his irritated gaze

00:55:14onto Jasper,

00:55:15who was shouting

00:55:15and playing with a toy.

00:55:17But as he looked,

00:55:18his breath caught.

00:55:19Whether it was due

00:55:20to the sudden loss

00:55:20of his kingdom's fortune,

00:55:22looking at Jasper's

00:55:23arrogant and brash face

00:55:24felt unprecedentedly discordal.

00:55:26The child's features

00:55:27lacked even a trace

00:55:28of the Wind Kingdom

00:55:29royal family's elegance,

00:55:30showing instead

00:55:31a crude vulgarity.

00:55:32What terrified him most

00:55:34was that the Wind-attributed

00:55:35magicic radiating

00:55:36from Jasper

00:55:36was crose and wild,

00:55:38sharing absolutely

00:55:39no bloodline resonance,

00:55:40with the pure,

00:55:41biting royal bloodline

00:55:42in his own body.

00:55:43When Vanessa gave birth

00:55:44to the child

00:55:45outside years ago,

00:55:47crying that she had been

00:55:48hunted by enemies

00:55:49and forced to wander,

00:55:51Ronan pitied her

00:55:52and never questioned

00:55:52the bloodline.

00:55:53But now...

00:55:58Ronan,

00:55:58why are you looking

00:55:59at Jasper like that?

00:56:02Did he do something wrong?

00:56:04Rokon stared dead

00:56:05at the flash of panic

00:56:06in Vanessa's eyes.

00:56:07His hands clenched

00:56:08tightly beneath his robes

00:56:09as something shattered

00:56:10within his heart.

00:56:11Taking a deep breath

00:56:12to suppress his immense suspicion,

00:56:13he put on a cold disguise.

00:56:15It is nothing.

00:56:16I am simply tired.

00:56:18You may leave.

00:56:19The moment the doors closed,

00:56:21Ronan's eyes

00:56:22turned incredibly sinister.

00:56:23He looked toward the empty air

00:56:24and gave a ruthless command.

00:56:26Someone,

00:56:26bring out the royal family's

00:56:28most secretive bloodline

00:56:29apriation, Arapis.

00:56:30Remember,

00:56:31prepare it in secret.

00:56:32Find an opportunity

00:56:33to gather Jasper's hair

00:56:35and finger blood later.

00:56:36Vanessa must not know

00:56:37a single thing about this.

00:56:39If I find

00:56:40that his bloodline

00:56:41does not match,

00:56:42I will ensure them

00:56:43die without a burial place!

00:56:46Meanwhile,

00:56:47in the sanctuary,

00:56:48around the forbidden

00:56:49sacred pool grounds,

00:56:5010,000 pureblood

00:56:51high elven generals,

00:56:52high priests

00:56:53and gradually cards

00:56:53of the divine king

00:56:54knelt across the mountains.

00:56:55Everyone held their breath,

00:56:56looking up at the gradually

00:56:57calming sacred pool in awe.

00:56:59Suddenly,

00:56:59faint golden ripple

00:57:00carrying supreme azority

00:57:02spread from the center

00:57:02of the pool.

00:57:03A graceful noble figure

00:57:05slowly rose from

00:57:05the center of the water.

00:57:07Seraphina's postpartum

00:57:08weakness and plast

00:57:08were entirely gone.

00:57:10Her skin shone

00:57:11like flawless white jade,

00:57:12flowing with a sacred light,

00:57:13and her once withered long hair

00:57:15had turned into

00:57:15a dazzling golden color,

00:57:17skating down to her ankles.

00:57:18Under the baptism

00:57:19of the ancient

00:57:19presided energy,

00:57:21her appearance

00:57:21and magic

00:57:22were completely restored,

00:57:23far surpassing

00:57:24her past peak.

00:57:25The moment her feet

00:57:26left the water

00:57:27and she hovered

00:57:27in midair,

00:57:28the space behind her

00:57:29tore violently.

00:57:30Boom!

00:57:31Accompanied by a divine

00:57:32phoenix cry

00:57:32that echoed

00:57:33through the heavens,

00:57:34a pair of dazzling

00:57:35supreme natural wings

00:57:36radiating boundless

00:57:37life and destruction

00:57:38unfurled behind her back.

00:57:39The divine wings

00:57:40were massive,

00:57:40each feather

00:57:41condundated from

00:57:42the purest golden light

00:57:43of natural law.

00:57:44With a slight flutter,

00:57:45a terrifying pressure

00:57:46swept past

00:57:46like a tsunami.

00:57:47Unable to withstand

00:57:48the bloodline pressure

00:57:49from the depths

00:57:50of their souls,

00:57:51the ten thousand

00:57:51pure-blooded elves

00:57:52slammed their foreheads

00:57:54against the ground

00:57:54as the sacred roof

00:57:56and echoed in harmony.

00:57:57We welcome

00:57:58Her Majesty's

00:57:59ascension to the throne!

00:58:02May your majesty's

00:58:04divine power go forever,

00:58:05and may your life

00:58:06match the heavens!

00:58:07Standing amid

00:58:08the golden light,

00:58:09Seraphana looked down

00:58:10at her subjects.

00:58:11She raised her hand

00:58:11slightly,

00:58:12feeling the terrifying magic

00:58:13capable of destroying

00:58:14heaven and earth,

00:58:14a cruel,

00:58:15cold smile

00:58:16playing on her lips.

00:58:17The submissive,

00:58:17lowly consort

00:58:18who had once begged

00:58:19for a flask of pure spring water

00:58:20for her daughter

00:58:21in the Withern Tower

00:58:21had completely died

00:58:22in this sacred pool today.

00:58:24The one who lived now

00:58:25was the Supreme Empress,

00:58:27who held the power

00:58:28over life and death

00:58:29for the entire

00:58:30elven sanctuary.

00:58:31She turned her gaze

00:58:32towards the direction

00:58:33of the Wind Kingdom,

00:58:34her murderous intent

00:58:36radiating palpably.

00:58:39Since Seraphina's departure,

00:58:41Vanessa carried herself

00:58:41completely as the new

00:58:42mistress of the Wind Kingdom.

00:58:44Without the restraint

00:58:45of the legitimate

00:58:46primary mistress,

00:58:47she tore off

00:58:47her past gentle disguise.

00:58:49The first thing

00:58:49she did upon moving

00:58:50is replace all the decorations

00:58:51with the most luxurious

00:58:52gold silks.

00:58:54She lived extravagantly

00:58:55and wastefully,

00:58:56bathing in the rarest

00:58:57floral dew daily,

00:58:58and even forcibly

00:58:59withalding nearly half

00:59:00of the lower tier

00:59:00elves' winter ravens,

00:59:02just to fashion

00:59:02a sweeping dress

00:59:03embedded with

00:59:04deep sea magic krills.

00:59:05Furthermore,

00:59:06Vanessa was arrogant

00:59:06and harsh to the point

00:59:07of cruelty

00:59:08toward the servants

00:59:08and lower class elves

00:59:09of the kingdom.

00:59:11Mistress,

00:59:11this is the silver needle

00:59:12tea you requested.

00:59:14The temperature

00:59:14is just right.

00:59:15It's golding,

00:59:16you useless wretch!

00:59:17Are you trying

00:59:17to ruin my face

00:59:18on purpose?

00:59:19Someone,

00:59:20strip her of her

00:59:20elfin badge

00:59:21and banish her

00:59:22entire family

00:59:22to hard labry

00:59:23at the Wither Tower!

00:59:25Panic gripped

00:59:26the main manor

00:59:26and the lower tier elves

00:59:28filled the air

00:59:28with grievances.

00:59:29Sitting in his study,

00:59:30Ronin listened

00:59:31to the constant shouting,

00:59:32face slapping

00:59:32and crying from outside,

00:59:33his temples throbbing.

00:59:35Looking at the ledger

00:59:35submitted by

00:59:36the Council of Elders,

00:59:37which detailed

00:59:38Vanessa's waste

00:59:39of tens of thousands

00:59:39of magic crystals

00:59:40over the past few days,

00:59:41his face turned grim.

00:59:42In the past,

00:59:43when Serafina managed

00:59:44the household,

00:59:45the entire Wind Kingdom

00:59:46was orderly.

00:59:46She was always gentle,

00:59:48understanding and proper,

00:59:49choosing to live frugally

00:59:50rather than misappropriate

00:59:51a single penny

00:59:52from the kingdom.

00:59:52Even using her own

00:59:53source Morna

00:59:54to nourish injured

00:59:55low-tier soldiers,

00:59:56Roman instinctively

00:59:56touched the empty space

00:59:58beside his throne,

00:59:59an unprecedented emptiness

01:00:00and regret

01:00:01washing over him

01:00:01like a tidal wave.

01:00:02He began to desperately

01:00:04miss the woman

01:00:04who had always quietly

01:00:05waited for him.

01:00:06But now,

01:00:07no matter how much

01:00:08he searched

01:00:09the Wind Kingdom's territory,

01:00:10he could no longer

01:00:11find a single trace

01:00:12of Serafina.

01:00:14Yet,

01:00:15Ronan had no idea

01:00:16that while he was drowning

01:00:17in endless regret

01:00:18and agony,

01:00:18a dim storal lamp

01:00:19was burning in the most

01:00:20secluded subterranean chamber

01:00:21of the main manor.

01:00:22Dressed in her luxurious gown,

01:00:23Vanessa showed none

01:00:24of her usual arrogance,

01:00:25slumping limply

01:00:26into the embrace

01:00:27of her old lover Oswin,

01:00:28the chief captain

01:00:29of the guards.

01:00:29Oswin's rough,

01:00:30calloused hands

01:00:31gripped her slender waist

01:00:32tightly as their breaths

01:00:33mingled in a display

01:00:34of immacity

01:00:34and wanton behavior.

01:00:35That suspicious

01:00:36Rhett Ronan

01:00:37stared at Jasper

01:00:38for a long time today.

01:00:39Could he have

01:00:40discovered something?

01:00:41My darling,

01:00:43with me here,

01:00:43what are you afraid of?

01:00:44Even if his suspicions

01:00:46lead him to test

01:00:46the bloodline,

01:00:47he will never find

01:00:48a problem.

01:00:49Don't forget,

01:00:49when he sent me

01:00:50to draw our son's blood,

01:00:51I swapped it

01:00:52with my own.

01:00:53That broken appraisal

01:00:54Askel of his

01:00:55will only show

01:00:55an absolute blood relative!

01:00:57Oskyn pulled Vanessa

01:00:58closer,

01:00:59tilting her chin up

01:01:00proudly.

01:01:01If Ronan hadn't

01:01:01been heavily injured

01:01:02and unconscious

01:01:03during the war

01:01:04three years ago,

01:01:04allowing you

01:01:06to slip into my bed

01:01:07amid the chaos,

01:01:08how else would he

01:01:09have become

01:01:10this cheap father

01:01:11and felt guilty

01:01:12enough to search

01:01:13for you

01:01:13for three whole years?

01:01:15Vanessa's beautiful eyes

01:01:16flashed with a venomous light

01:01:17as she laughed

01:01:18and pinched the man.

01:01:19Who told Ronan

01:01:20to pride himself

01:01:21on being deeply affectionate

01:01:22when he is actually

01:01:23a fool

01:01:23who is easily deceived?

01:01:25For three years,

01:01:26he trampled

01:01:26Serafina,

01:01:27the legitimate mistress,

01:01:28into the dirt

01:01:29for the sake

01:01:29of Jasper and mine.

01:01:30Little does he know,

01:01:31the heir he personally

01:01:32cherishes

01:01:33is actually your child!

01:01:34A wild and greedy ambition

01:01:36as his flashed,

01:01:37his voice turned low

01:01:38and vicious.

01:01:39Ronan is completely

01:01:40distracted every day

01:01:41because of Seraf's

01:01:41disappears and the

01:01:42kingdom's fortune

01:01:43has mostly vanished

01:01:43for some reason.

01:01:44The ascension passage

01:01:45is even closed.

01:01:46In just a few more days,

01:01:48we will deliver

01:01:49the fatal blow.

01:01:52The inner frustration

01:01:53and the mysterious loss

01:01:54of his kingdom's fortune

01:01:55drove him near madness.

01:01:56His mind troubled.

01:01:58He walked aimlessly

01:01:58through the streets

01:01:59of the main city

01:02:00and inadvertently stopped

01:02:01in front of the infirmary.

01:02:03Looking at the somewhat

01:02:04dilapidated doors,

01:02:04the image of Serafina

01:02:06weeping in absolute despair

01:02:08here suddenly flashed

01:02:09through his mind.

01:02:10I must be losing my mind

01:02:11to have walked all the way here.

01:02:12Just as he turned to leave,

01:02:13a stealthy figure

01:02:14carrying a bundle

01:02:15prepared to flee

01:02:15from inside the infirmary.

01:02:17It was the doctor

01:02:17from before.

01:02:18Ever since Serafina

01:02:19Umister raised her holy name

01:02:20and left,

01:02:20causing half of the tree

01:02:21of life to wither,

01:02:22this doctor had been

01:02:23tormented night and day

01:02:24by guilt and fear,

01:02:25finally breaking down

01:02:25and preparing to escape overnight.

01:02:27Ronan's eyes turned sharp.

01:02:28Moving like lightning,

01:02:29he materialized

01:02:30before the doctor,

01:02:31blocking his path.

01:02:32Where do you think

01:02:33you are running?

01:02:34What are you panicking

01:02:35for upon seeing me?

01:02:37Looking at Ronan's

01:02:37rage-distorted face

01:02:39and thinking of the rampant

01:02:40rumors about the primary

01:02:40mistress' disappearance

01:02:41and the sacred trees' withering,

01:02:42the doctor's psychological defense

01:02:43collapsed completely.

01:02:44With even needing to

01:02:45use a soul-searching technique,

01:02:46he fell to his knees

01:02:47in terror,

01:02:47now coating frantically

01:02:48as tears and muses

01:02:49strem down his face.

01:02:50Lord, spare my life!

01:02:51I deserve to die!

01:02:52I dare not hide it any longer!

01:02:54The primary mistress did not lie!

01:02:55She was not throwing a tamper

01:02:56fighting for effect!

01:02:57Ronan's heart skipped a beat,

01:02:59a profound sense of foreboding

01:03:00enveloping his entire body.

01:03:02Make yourself clear!

01:03:04What do you mean she didn't lie?

01:03:05It was your daughter.

01:03:06Your daughter Iris

01:03:08didn't catch an ordinary chill at all!

01:03:10She was poisoned

01:03:11with the highly insidious

01:03:12soul-eating grass

01:03:13and her core

01:03:13had already begun to wither!

01:03:14Boom!

01:03:15The doctor's words

01:03:15exploded in Ronan's ears

01:03:16like a thunder mist,

01:03:17leaving his pail

01:03:18and make him sway on his feet.

01:03:20Ronan grabbed the terrified

01:03:21fleeing doctor by the collar,

01:03:23his eyes bloodshot

01:03:24like a cornered beast.

01:03:26Impossible!

01:03:27I checked her myself that day!

01:03:29Her breathing was steady

01:03:30and her temperature was normal!

01:03:32Even you personally diagnosed it

01:03:33as a common chill!

01:03:35How davricate a poisoning story

01:03:36to me now!

01:03:39It was all fake!

01:03:41My dad and Vanessa

01:03:42forced me to do it!

01:03:44It was her!

01:03:45She fed the little princess

01:03:46a forbidden illusion potion

01:03:47before you arrived,

01:03:49forcibly creating

01:03:50a false appearance

01:03:52of health!

01:03:53The doctor's words

01:03:54cut like knives,

01:03:56tearing Ronan's

01:03:57self-rightless

01:03:58arrogance

01:03:58to pieces.

01:03:59Madam Vanessa

01:04:00bribed me

01:04:01and threatened

01:04:01my family's lives

01:04:02to maintain the illusion,

01:04:04all to make you believe

01:04:05the primary mistress

01:04:05was just throwing

01:04:06a jealous fit

01:04:07so you would ignore

01:04:08the mother and daughter

01:04:09leaving the little princess

01:04:10to die from the poison!

01:04:12And...

01:04:12and that flask

01:04:13of sacred tree extract!

01:04:15Hearing the word

01:04:15sacred tree extract,

01:04:17Ronan's body shook violently,

01:04:19his face draining

01:04:20of all color.

01:04:20That spiritual medicine

01:04:21was given to the primary mistress

01:04:23out of my sudden

01:04:23flash of consciousness!

01:04:24It was not only

01:04:25an antidote to all poisons,

01:04:26but the sole hope

01:04:27to save the little princess's life!

01:04:29Yet you,

01:04:29you detested

01:04:30the primary mistress

01:04:31and forcibly snatched

01:04:32that medicine away

01:04:33to secure the position

01:04:34of the perfectly healthy Jasper!

01:04:36Roman felt as if

01:04:37he'd been struck by lightning,

01:04:39all strength

01:04:39instantly draining

01:04:40from his body,

01:04:41boundless darkness

01:04:42and immense regret

01:04:43swallowed him like a tsunami.

01:04:45He finally realized

01:04:46that Seraphina

01:04:47had been telling the truth

01:04:48all along.

01:04:49It was him,

01:04:50he,

01:04:50the father,

01:04:51blinded by favoritism

01:04:53and interest,

01:04:54who had personally

01:04:55snatched away

01:04:55his daughter's

01:04:56life-saving straw,

01:04:57pushing his newborn

01:04:58child into the

01:05:00abyss of death!

01:05:01A spray of crimson blood

01:05:03erupted from Ronan's mouth

01:05:05as he collapsed

01:05:06onto his knees

01:05:06on the freezing stone pavement,

01:05:08clutching his

01:05:09agonizingly painful chest,

01:05:11letting out

01:05:12a desperate,

01:05:13piercing streel.

01:05:15Seraphina!

01:05:16Iris!

01:05:18What have I done?

01:05:19What on earth

01:05:20have I done?!

01:05:21Immense regret

01:05:22drove Ronan

01:05:22completely mad.

01:05:23Disregarding the blood

01:05:24on his lips,

01:05:25he scrammed back

01:05:25to his feet

01:05:26and ran back

01:05:27to the main hall

01:05:27like a madman.

01:05:28At this moment,

01:05:29he no longer cared

01:05:31about supreme cooperation

01:05:32or reaching the peak.

01:05:34He only wanted

01:05:35to find his wife

01:05:36and save his daughter's life.

01:05:38Search!

01:05:39Mobilize all forces

01:05:40of the Wind Kingdom!

01:05:41Search every inch of land!

01:05:43And even if you have to

01:05:44hunt through

01:05:44the Forbidden Forest,

01:05:46bring back the primary mistress

01:05:47and the princess!

01:05:48Go now!

01:05:53However,

01:05:54one day passed,

01:05:55then two days,

01:05:56and for three whole days

01:05:57and nights,

01:05:58the elite High Elves

01:05:59brought back nothing

01:06:00but the desperate news

01:06:01of no trace found.

01:06:03Serafina seemed

01:06:04to have dissolved

01:06:04into the wind,

01:06:05vanishing completely

01:06:06without a trace.

01:06:07Failing to find his wife,

01:06:09Ronan's grief

01:06:09and self-blame

01:06:10gradually transformed

01:06:11into a towering

01:06:12Merlison test.

01:06:13He finally thought

01:06:14of the instigator,

01:06:15Vanessa.

01:06:16Vanessa!

01:06:17You vicious wretch!

01:06:19I will tear you

01:06:20into ten thousand pieces!

01:06:21Gripping the great sword

01:06:22of the Wind God

01:06:23that symbolized

01:06:24his kingdom's power,

01:06:25he strode toward

01:06:26Vanessa's bedchamber,

01:06:27brimming with

01:06:28murderous intent.

01:06:29He wanted to settle

01:06:30the score

01:06:30with that evil woman

01:06:32and use the blood

01:06:32of Vanessa and her son

01:06:34to atone for his actions

01:06:35against his wife

01:06:36and daughter.

01:06:37However,

01:06:38when he reached the chamber,

01:06:39he found it

01:06:40completely empty.

01:06:42Unleashing his divine sense,

01:06:43he followed a faint

01:06:44trace of magic

01:06:45straight into the

01:06:46desolate forest

01:06:47behind the temple.

01:06:49The moon was dark

01:06:50and the wind howled

01:06:51through the silence

01:06:51of the desolate forest

01:06:52behind the temple.

01:06:53Ronan concealed

01:06:54his presence,

01:06:55moving step by step

01:06:56into the shadow

01:06:56of the ancient trees

01:06:57with his great sword.

01:06:58But before he could

01:06:58see clearly,

01:06:59faint whispers

01:07:00and strugglings

01:07:00came from the thicket,

01:07:01falling clearly

01:07:02into his ears.

01:07:02Slow down.

01:07:03If that fool Ronan

01:07:04finds out,

01:07:05we are dead.

01:07:06What are you afraid of?

01:07:07He is completely

01:07:08distracted every day

01:07:09because of that wretch

01:07:09running around the world

01:07:10like a madman.

01:07:11How could he have time

01:07:11for us?

01:07:12I've already coordinated

01:07:13with Governor Gamma.

01:07:14While he will strip

01:07:15the treasury

01:07:15of all magic crystals

01:07:16and public funds

01:07:17tonight and run!

01:07:18Boom!

01:07:18Ronan's mind

01:07:18went completely blank.

01:07:19He knew these voices

01:07:20all too well.

01:07:21One belonged to his

01:07:22chief captain of the guards,

01:07:22Oswin,

01:07:23and the other belonged

01:07:23to Vanessa White Moonlight,

01:07:24first love he had cherished

01:07:25for three years.

01:07:26Ronan trembled violently,

01:07:27staring dead at the

01:07:28disheveled man and woman

01:07:28entwiled behind the tree.

01:07:30Speaking of which,

01:07:31Ronan really is

01:07:32an absolute fool.

01:07:33For the past three days

01:07:34he has been holding

01:07:34that fake bloodline report,

01:07:35comforting himself

01:07:36that Jasper is his child,

01:07:37completely unaware

01:07:38that the heir he raised

01:07:39with the kingdom's

01:07:40sacred medicine

01:07:40is actually your

01:07:41biological flesh and blood!

01:07:43The truth slapped Ronan

01:07:45across the face,

01:07:46shattering his remaining

01:07:46self-respect and pride.

01:07:48It turned out he was

01:07:48not only the murderer

01:07:49who had personally pushed

01:07:50his biological daughter

01:07:51to her death,

01:07:51but also the world's

01:07:52biggest fool

01:07:52who had raised

01:07:53a bastard child

01:07:54for a pair of adulterers

01:07:54for three years

01:07:55the kingdom was being

01:07:56eustarpted.

01:07:59Insolent fools!

01:08:00You will pay for this!

01:08:02Unleashing and

01:08:03debunked it so loud

01:08:04when Ronan erupted

01:08:04the great sword

01:08:05dream of rock

01:08:05with a leitianly

01:08:06sent in the trees

01:08:06and the sentry

01:08:07green people flying.

01:08:08Osgin and Vanessa

01:08:09screamed as they hit the ground

01:08:10when Vanessa saw Ronan,

01:08:12who stood there

01:08:12with overwhelming ferocity.

01:08:14She lost her wits

01:08:15and terror.

01:08:16Ronan!

01:08:17Listen to me explain!

01:08:18It's not what it looks like!

01:08:19Shut up,

01:08:20you vicious horn!

01:08:21I will kill you!

01:08:22Oswin and Ronan

01:08:23have exhausted

01:08:23and bite grind

01:08:24realized Zord off course

01:08:25due to a lax limit

01:08:26at the magic.

01:08:27Though this strike his teeth,

01:08:28he pulled Vanessa up

01:08:29and pringzled

01:08:29several poisonous smoke bombs.

01:08:31With a loud explosion,

01:08:32a toxic mist

01:08:32filled the area.

01:08:33By the time the storm

01:08:34blew the mist away,

01:08:35the disheveled couple

01:08:36had off-fledded

01:08:36the wind forest

01:08:37using their familiarity

01:08:38with the de-ground.

01:08:39As the cold wind blew,

01:08:40he looked around

01:08:41at the empty surroundings,

01:08:42appearing as though

01:08:43he had aged a hundred years.

01:08:44Ronan fell to his knees,

01:08:46his fingers digging

01:08:47into the dirt,

01:08:48as he wept desperately,

01:08:51like a beaten dog

01:08:52in the dead of night.

01:08:54Meanwhile,

01:08:55inside the flawless,

01:08:56radiant temple of life

01:08:57in the Supreme Sanctuary,

01:08:59Iris had completely recovered.

01:09:00She was now dressed

01:09:01in garments woven

01:09:02from the rarest golden silk

01:09:03and sitting in a cradle

01:09:04carved from 10,000-year-old

01:09:06moonwa jiggling

01:09:07and blowing bubbles.

01:09:07The supreme divine mark

01:09:09on her forehead

01:09:09flowed with brilliant colors,

01:09:11exuding an incredibly

01:09:12noble bloodline.

01:09:13Standing beside the cradle,

01:09:15Serafina gently played

01:09:16with her daughter,

01:09:16her eyes filled only

01:09:17with maternal love.

01:09:18As for the past

01:09:19humiliations and affection,

01:09:21the High Elfin King

01:09:22slowly walked over

01:09:23to his daughter.

01:09:24Looking at his reborn

01:09:25granddaughter with affection,

01:09:26he then turned a serious

01:09:27gaze toward Serafina.

01:09:28My daughter,

01:09:29I have already ordered

01:09:30a complete block out

01:09:31against all past complications

01:09:33with the Wind Kingdom.

01:09:35Now that your bloodline

01:09:36has fully awakened

01:09:37and the supreme natural wings

01:09:38have grown behind your back,

01:09:40it is time for you

01:09:41to assume your rightful

01:09:42responsibilities.

01:09:43Serafina withdrawed her hand

01:09:45and turned to face her father,

01:09:46her gaze calm and instaurative,

01:09:47completely deblined

01:09:48of mortal weakness.

01:09:49Father, I understand.

01:09:51Romantic attachments

01:09:52are nothing but

01:09:52a self-inflicted trap.

01:09:54Only supreme power

01:09:55can allow me

01:09:56to control my destiny

01:09:57and protect my iris

01:09:58for a lifetime of peace.

01:10:00The father laughed

01:10:01with relief

01:10:01and immediately announced,

01:10:03Good!

01:10:03I have already issued

01:10:04a decree to all kingdoms

01:10:06that the sanctuary ceremony

01:10:07will begin shortly.

01:10:08You will officially

01:10:08inherit the throne

01:10:09and become the first

01:10:11High Elfin Queen

01:10:12of our supreme sanctuary

01:10:13in 10,000 years.

01:10:15Meanwhile,

01:10:16the Wind Kingdom,

01:10:17far at the edge

01:10:17of the continent,

01:10:18had fallen into

01:10:18a perilous situation.

01:10:20Due to Vanessa

01:10:20and Oswin's betrayal

01:10:21and thiefed of the funds,

01:10:22a fierce internal conflict

01:10:24erupted within the kingdom.

01:10:25Worse still,

01:10:26because Serafina

01:10:26had erased her holy name

01:10:27and severed

01:10:28the tree of life withered,

01:10:29causing the kingdom's

01:10:30overall magic

01:10:30to rapidly decline

01:10:31and their barrier to...

01:10:32Roman sat on his broken throne,

01:10:34emaciated and covered in stubble,

01:10:36showing none of his past glory

01:10:37as a lord.

01:10:38Just then,

01:10:39an old servant

01:10:40tremblingly presented

01:10:41a gathering order

01:10:42from the supreme sanctuary.

01:10:44My lord,

01:10:45a divine oracle

01:10:46has arrived

01:10:47from the supreme sanctuary.

01:10:48The new supreme empress

01:10:49is about to ascend the throne

01:10:50and the coronation ceremony

01:10:52requires all kingdoms

01:10:53to pay homage.

01:10:54Does our kingdom

01:10:55attend?

01:10:56A final ember

01:10:57of fanatical hope

01:10:58erupted in Ronan's eyes.

01:11:01He had no heart

01:11:02to manage the kingdom's

01:11:03mundane affairs

01:11:04because he knew time

01:11:05was running out

01:11:06for the wind kingdom.

01:11:07Their only salvation

01:11:08lay in aligning

01:11:09with the supreme sanctuary.

01:11:11Go!

01:11:12Prepare the highest

01:11:13specification of gifts

01:11:14and the entire kingdom

01:11:16will accompany me

01:11:17to the sanctuary

01:11:18to pay homage.

01:11:19Tupian-1 gripped the order

01:11:20tightly as if catching

01:11:21a final saving straw.

01:11:22I have heard that

01:11:23destroy his heartwell

01:11:24is this war

01:11:25of directed bloodlines

01:11:26and possessing immense warfare.

01:11:27And I'm our own

01:11:28trust to send you

01:11:28along as we act

01:11:29as a perfectly submittive

01:11:30and respected

01:11:31to camarader protection

01:11:32from that steamius empress.

01:11:34Our kingdom

01:11:34will be completely saved!

01:11:36Little did he know,

01:11:37the opportunity

01:11:38he was so desperate

01:11:39to grovel for

01:11:41belonged to the very wife

01:11:42he had personally

01:11:43pushed into the abyss.

01:11:46Before the sanctuary

01:11:47coronation ceremony,

01:11:48the Finding Wat

01:11:48belouched a rest

01:11:49in the simplest eid

01:11:50at the sacrosanct edge

01:11:51of Shengguangton's out.

01:11:52It and ate

01:11:52stood alone on the noon

01:11:53and the other

01:11:54drathing below

01:11:54Sucatus and mar the day

01:11:55of Trun Shempil

01:11:56of surging through

01:11:56above Fort Neread.

01:11:57Ronan's mins

01:11:58raced at cursed

01:11:58as if something canate

01:11:59was awakening

01:12:00within that divine light.

01:12:01Images of Serafina

01:12:02began to flash

01:12:03uncontrollably

01:12:04through his mind.

01:12:05Her shyness

01:12:06when they first met.

01:12:07Her tenderness

01:12:08when healing his wounds.

01:12:10And

01:12:11her cold,

01:12:12resoluced gaze

01:12:13as she left

01:12:14the withered tower

01:12:15holding their daughter.

01:12:16Aloina walked up

01:12:17behind him

01:12:18wearing a cloak.

01:12:19Looking at her

01:12:19distracted son,

01:12:20she let out

01:12:21a deep sigh.

01:12:22Roran,

01:12:23stop thinking about it.

01:12:24Tomorrow is the critical day

01:12:25to meet the Supreme Empress.

01:12:26The survival of our

01:12:27Wind Kingdom

01:12:28relies entirely

01:12:28on this single action.

01:12:30You must not

01:12:30lose your composure.

01:12:31Rayon withdraw his gaze,

01:12:33cripping his racing chest,

01:12:34a bitter smile

01:12:35playing on his lips.

01:12:36Mother,

01:12:36I was just thinking

01:12:36Raffina was still here

01:12:37with her pure bloodline.

01:12:39Would she also be happy

01:12:40for me seeing this grand sight

01:12:41of ten thousand kingdoms

01:12:41paying homage tomorrow?

01:12:42Regrettably,

01:12:43and no one could answer

01:12:44his belated affection

01:12:45and self-reflection.

01:12:47On the day of the ceremony,

01:12:48the Supreme Sanctuary

01:12:49shone with magnificent

01:12:50golden light,

01:12:51piercing the sky.

01:12:51The entire sacred mountain

01:12:52was to look invincible.

01:12:54Holy unicorns

01:12:54soared through the air

01:12:55as tribal leaders

01:12:56and ancient deities

01:12:57gather to elders.

01:12:58Meanwhile,

01:12:59Riz Missli in the most

01:13:00remote corner

01:13:00at the outmost edge

01:13:01of the main hall,

01:13:02not even daring

01:13:03to raise their heads.

01:13:04As a sacred ancient bell

01:13:05echoed through the heavens,

01:13:06a grand and vast chant

01:13:07filled the world.

01:13:08Silence across all kingdoms!

01:13:10We welcome the ascension

01:13:11of Her Majesty,

01:13:12the High Elf and Queen!

01:13:14A supreme throne

01:13:15radiating immense authority

01:13:16slowly rose

01:13:17from the center of the tree.

01:13:19Ronan and his mother

01:13:20Aleda pressed their heads

01:13:21firmly against

01:13:21the freezing floor tiles,

01:13:23their bodies trembling violently

01:13:24under the supreme bloodline pressure

01:13:25that descended from above.

01:13:26Near of a strange procession

01:13:27under the immense pressure,

01:13:28Ronan managed to raise his head

01:13:30with great difficulty,

01:13:31wanting to look upon

01:13:31the mysterious Antress

01:13:32who could save

01:13:33his kingdom's life.

01:13:34However,

01:13:35when his gaze

01:13:36pierced through the golden light

01:13:38and clearly saw the figure

01:13:40sitting upon the supreme throne,

01:13:41the massive natural wings

01:13:43unfurled behind her back

01:13:45and the daughter

01:13:46she held in her arms

01:13:47sucking her fing.

01:13:49Roman's pupils

01:13:49shrank violently

01:13:50in an instant

01:13:51as if struck by lightning,

01:13:52his breath catching

01:13:53completely in his throat.

01:13:55That face,

01:13:56that noble,

01:13:57cold and peerless

01:13:58high elven queen

01:13:59who ruled over

01:14:00the entire sanctuary

01:14:01was actually Seraphina!

01:14:05Seraphina!

01:14:06Ronan's startled cry

01:14:07shattered the silence

01:14:08of the temple.

01:14:09High Priestess Alonda

01:14:10looked up

01:14:10and recognized

01:14:11the beautiful empress

01:14:12radiating absolute authority

01:14:13from the altar.

01:14:14She misconnected.

01:14:15I was wrong!

01:14:16I truly know I was wrong!

01:14:17Please the useless woman

01:14:18they had trampled

01:14:19in the withered town.

01:14:20Two golden spears

01:14:21struck down

01:14:22with the force

01:14:22of natural law.

01:14:26She looked down upon him

01:14:28who lay like a dead dog

01:14:29at the bottom of the steps

01:14:30while Iris

01:14:30blew bubbles in her arms.

01:14:31There was no hatred

01:14:32in her eyes,

01:14:33only the disgust

01:14:34one would feel

01:14:34looking at an open sewer.

01:14:36Ronan,

01:14:37do you think you are worthy

01:14:38of speaking my holy name?

01:14:39Do you think you are worthy

01:14:40of calling my daughter's name?

01:14:42A golden beam of law

01:14:43became a massive hand

01:14:43of divine power

01:14:44and struck Fethia Ronan

01:14:45across the face.

01:14:46Slap!

01:14:47Half of his facial bones

01:14:48shatter against

01:14:49and this slap

01:14:50is for your blindest

01:14:51side of his face

01:14:51and him comb-scheming woman

01:14:52to true wife.

01:14:53Slap!

01:14:54The harder backhand

01:14:55twisted your utter lack

01:14:56of conscience

01:14:56for personally stealing

01:14:58your biological daughter's

01:14:59life-saving medicine.

01:15:00The leaders of the

01:15:01various kingdoms

01:15:02expressed their disdain

01:15:04and spit in disapproval.

01:15:06Clutching his swollen face,

01:15:08self-respect

01:15:08was publicly trampled

01:15:10before all kingdoms.

01:15:11His reputation

01:15:12was completely destroyed.

01:15:15Yes!

01:15:16I deserve to be beaten!

01:15:17I am a beast!

01:15:18Sir, I mean,

01:15:19as long as you vent your anger

01:15:20you can talk to me

01:15:21however you like.

01:15:21Just please let me rest

01:15:22our daughter kingdom!

01:15:23Ronan,

01:15:24once a proud general,

01:15:25now knelt in the dust.

01:15:26His pleas echoed,

01:15:27empty and desperate.

01:15:28Seeing an opportunity,

01:15:29Alita cast aside

01:15:30all dignity

01:15:30and began

01:15:31cobicating frantically.

01:15:32Your divine majesty

01:15:33for the sub the wind kingdom

01:15:34being of the royal family

01:15:35thousand years,

01:15:36please stay your hand

01:15:36and save our withering

01:15:37tree of life!

01:15:38Looking at the mother

01:15:39and icon who were still

01:15:40calculating for benefits

01:15:41even now,

01:15:42the mockery on Seraphina's

01:15:43boobs deepened

01:15:44to the extreme.

01:15:45Save you?

01:15:46The wind kingdom

01:15:46only enjoyed its past glory

01:15:48because I nourished it

01:15:48with my supreme source power

01:15:50since you will reclaim

01:15:50everything I granted you.

01:15:51She slowly raised her hand,

01:15:53curving her fingers

01:15:53and made a grasping motion

01:15:54toward Ronan and Alashian

01:15:56from afar.

01:15:56In an instant,

01:15:57the ancient wind laws

01:15:58inside Ronan and Alina

01:16:00which had been granted

01:16:00by the royal family

01:16:01turned into strands

01:16:02of golden light

01:16:03and were violently stripped

01:16:04from their bones and souls.

01:16:06My magic!

01:16:08My cultivation!

01:16:13It was a stripping process

01:16:14more painful than death.

01:16:15Within moments,

01:16:16Ronan's cultivation plummeted

01:16:17from a high tea lord

01:16:18to something inferior

01:16:18even to an ordinary low-tier elf,

01:16:20turning him into a complete and vital.

01:16:21Pass down my divine

01:16:22Atsukkane from Tyus

01:16:23with Kiran of the Wardkin

01:16:24to point of his Lee-Age

01:16:25be reduced to sinful withered wood

01:16:26forbidden from ever entering

01:16:27the sanctuary.

01:16:28Someone,

01:16:28throw this disgusting pile

01:16:29of garbage out.

01:16:30A divine guard

01:16:31kicked Ronan hard

01:16:32in the abdomen

01:16:33sending the two broken,

01:16:34stripped and thoroughly

01:16:35disgraced wretcheds

01:16:37tumbling down

01:16:37the nine layers of the altar

01:16:39amid the laughter

01:16:40of all kingdoms.

01:16:43Internal conflict

01:16:44spread like wildfire

01:16:45through the Wind Kingdom

01:16:45and the anger

01:16:46of the lower-tier elves

01:16:47completely overthrew

01:16:48the main manor.

01:16:49Meanwhile,

01:16:49lying on a bed

01:16:50in a side pavile,

01:16:51the old woman Alina

01:16:51trembled inside the empty room.

01:16:53She had previously

01:16:53been blinded by greed

01:16:54secrecy accepting

01:16:54mass amounts of illicit wealth

01:16:55from Vanessa,

01:16:56Oswin and Gamma

01:16:57to secure their positions.

01:16:58Even the forceful snatching

01:16:59of Iris' sacred tree extract

01:17:00had been driven largely

01:17:01by her own greed.

01:17:02Now,

01:17:02retribution had arrived.

01:17:04The kingdom was ruined,

01:17:05the treasures were lost,

01:17:06and even the eldest grandson Jasper,

01:17:08whom she had cherished

01:17:08night and day

01:17:09as the future hope

01:17:09of the kingdom,

01:17:10was confirmed to be

01:17:11nothing to dirty bastard.

01:17:12The heavy and terrifying

01:17:13karmic backlight

01:17:14transformed into

01:17:14invisible bullets,

01:17:15cutting at her guilty soul

01:17:16night and day.

01:17:17The extreme fear

01:17:18and massive mental shock

01:17:19drove the normally arrogant

01:17:20and harsh old woman

01:17:21completely sane.

01:17:23That night,

01:17:24as the sounds

01:17:24of rioting echo outside,

01:17:26the old woman

01:17:27ended her guilty life

01:17:28with a white silk cord

01:17:29hanging from a beam

01:17:30in the cold,

01:17:31lonely main manor.

01:17:33The next morning,

01:17:35when Ronan

01:17:35pushed open the door

01:17:37and saw his mother's

01:17:38stiff body

01:17:39hanging in mid-air,

01:17:41he only let out

01:17:42a few horny,

01:17:43tragic laughs,

01:17:44unable to squeeze out

01:17:45even a single tear.

01:17:47Meanwhile,

01:17:48thousands of miles away

01:17:49from the Wind Kingdom

01:17:50at the frozen border,

01:17:51an incredibly luxurious

01:17:52sacred carriage

01:17:53was hurtling through the sky.

01:17:54The carriage compartment

01:17:55was stuffed with

01:17:55radiant, rare treasures,

01:17:57the entire foundation

01:17:58of the Wind Kingdom

01:17:58that Vanessa and

01:17:59Chief Cap Two Wolves

01:18:00shown only with

01:18:01absolute Oz greed

01:18:02for wealth.

01:18:02Vanessa!

01:18:03This chest of divine items

01:18:05belongs to me!

01:18:06Without my guard team

01:18:07coordinating,

01:18:07you wouldn't have even

01:18:08made it out the main

01:18:09gates of the manor.

01:18:10Nonsense!

01:18:11Without the Lord's

01:18:12Talisman that I stole,

01:18:13what would you even be?

01:18:14These treasures are my

01:18:15reliance for the rest

01:18:15of my life!

01:18:16Don't you dare

01:18:16take a single penny!

01:18:17In the face of interest,

01:18:19their past familiarity

01:18:19vanished completely.

01:18:20Due to an unfair

01:18:21distribution of the spoils,

01:18:22malice erupted in both of them

01:18:23and they immediately engaged

01:18:24in a fierce magical brawl

01:18:26inside the narrow carriage.

01:18:27Wild windblades

01:18:28and toxic mists

01:18:29clashed violently

01:18:30inside the compartment,

01:18:31creating continuous

01:18:32loud explosions.

01:18:33As the out-of-control carriage

01:18:34traveled along

01:18:35a highly treacherous

01:18:35mountain path,

01:18:36the Draft Bears

01:18:37panicked

01:18:38and went wild!

01:18:49Amid a piercing streak,

01:18:50the out-of-control carriage

01:18:51plunged off the cliff edge,

01:18:53carrying the couple

01:18:54and the treasures

01:18:54they had schemed

01:18:55so hard to steal,

01:18:56crashing heavily

01:18:57into the boulder-street

01:18:59bottom of the deep valley.

01:19:01Beneath the deep valley,

01:19:02the rain poured heavily,

01:19:04the carriage had shattered

01:19:05completely,

01:19:05with broken wood

01:19:06and magic crystals

01:19:07scattered across the ground.

01:19:08Amid the rubble,

01:19:09the bodies of Vanessa

01:19:10and Oshwick

01:19:11lay twisted together,

01:19:12torn apart by the wild magic

01:19:13to the point of being

01:19:14unrecognizable,

01:19:15dying an incredibly

01:19:16gruesome death.

01:19:17That green tea face

01:19:19that had once used

01:19:20illusion potions

01:19:20to maintain a false

01:19:21appearance of perfection

01:19:22was now sliced

01:19:24and bloodied

01:19:24by the rocks.

01:19:27Buzz.

01:19:28Space rippled slightly

01:19:29as several royal guards

01:19:30clad in pure gold robes

01:19:31quietly descended

01:19:32upon the crash site.

01:19:33Seraphina did not even

01:19:34need to act personally,

01:19:35merely sending the

01:19:36sanctuary's cleanup group

01:19:37to wrap things up.

01:19:38This is the heavenly karma

01:19:40for those who betray

01:19:41Her Majesty.

01:19:42The guards raised their hands,

01:19:43golden light surging

01:19:44from from their palms.

01:19:45As the magic arenus

01:19:46activated,

01:19:46the scattered ancient treasures

01:19:47and sacred resource

01:19:48of the Wind Kingdom

01:19:49were entirely gathered

01:19:50and reclaimed.

01:19:51These items carried

01:19:52a significant amount of fortune,

01:19:53and now that they were

01:19:54continuously funneled

01:19:55into the treasury

01:19:56of the Supreme always had,

01:19:57the villains had calculated

01:19:58everything,

01:19:59only to lose their lives

01:20:01in the end

01:20:01and turn the Wind Kingdom's

01:20:03thousands of years

01:20:04of accumulation

01:20:05into a stepping stone

01:20:06to secure Seraphia's

01:20:08supreme royal power,

01:20:09which was ironic

01:20:10to the extreme.

01:20:12Having lost everything,

01:20:14he sank completely

01:20:14into boundless darkness.

01:20:16He had no mother,

01:20:16no kingdom,

01:20:17and no status

01:20:18to pride himself on.

01:20:19Whenever night fell

01:20:19across the empty ruins,

01:20:20he seemed to hear

01:20:21her gentle voices

01:20:21and another's painful cries

01:20:22from her swaddling clothes.

01:20:24Those memories transformed

01:20:24into the most brutal torture,

01:20:26tearing his mind apart

01:20:27bit by bit.

01:20:28Seraphina,

01:20:28look,

01:20:29I brought the sweetest

01:20:30spring water

01:20:30for our daughter today.

01:20:32He began to exhibit

01:20:32severe split personality symptoms.

01:20:34At times,

01:20:35he would kneel on the ground

01:20:36and slap himself frantically,

01:20:37crying out that he shouldn't

01:20:38have snatched his daughter's

01:20:39life-saving medicine.

01:20:40At other times,

01:20:41he would embrace

01:20:42the empty air gently,

01:20:43pretending his wife and child

01:20:44were still by his side.

01:20:46Vanessa,

01:20:47you vicious red!

01:20:49Give me back my daughter!

01:20:51Give me back my happiness!

01:20:53He drowned his sorrows

01:20:53in alcohol all day.

01:20:55His mind become

01:20:55increasingly fractured

01:20:57as he remained trapped

01:20:57indefinitely within

01:20:58the endless regret

01:20:59he had personally fashioned.

01:21:01Roman curled up

01:21:03in the corner

01:21:03of a freezing stone seat,

01:21:05his clothes tattered,

01:21:06his once-proud spine

01:21:08broken by regret.

01:21:09His hands were blooded

01:21:10and his fingernails

01:21:11filled with mud

01:21:12from frantically digging

01:21:14through the rubble

01:21:14for garments

01:21:15Seraphana had left behind.

01:21:19Look at that.

01:21:20That's the wise lord

01:21:22who trampled his true wife

01:21:24for a green tea woman

01:21:26back then.

01:21:29He really is

01:21:30a pathetic dog.

01:21:32Ronian was completely

01:21:33deaf to these mocks,

01:21:34merely clutching

01:21:35a tattered cloth doll

01:21:36tightly to his chest,

01:21:37a toy he had fashioned

01:21:38for Iris from memory.

01:21:39Since his magic

01:21:40was entirely gone,

01:21:42his appearance was aging

01:21:43at a visible rate,

01:21:44his long hair

01:21:45turning into dry white strands.

01:21:47Whenever the harsh alcohol

01:21:48hit his throat,

01:21:49he would begin

01:21:50to self-harm.

01:21:51He used sharp stones

01:21:53to carve the name

01:21:54Seraphina

01:21:55deeply into his arms,

01:21:57drawing blood,

01:21:58yet it could not stop

01:21:59the splitting pain

01:22:00in his chest.

01:22:02Ha ha ha!

01:22:03Seraphina!

01:22:05This is retribution!

01:22:07This is my retribution!

01:22:09You let me live

01:22:11only to find

01:22:12that every second

01:22:13of being alive

01:22:14is an absolute hell!

01:22:16The once high

01:22:17and mighty king

01:22:18had ultimately transformed

01:22:19into a mentally

01:22:20degranged madman

01:22:21fighting with wild dogs

01:22:22for food in the ruins.

01:22:24Death would be

01:22:25a merciful release

01:22:26for him,

01:22:26and remaining conscious

01:22:27to endure this life

01:22:28sentence of regret

01:22:29was his ultimate punishment.

01:22:32As for Jasper,

01:22:33the three-year-old fake he

01:22:35who had been pampered

01:22:35by the entire kingdom,

01:22:37he was, after all,

01:22:38an innocent

01:22:38and ignorant child

01:22:40who did not understand

01:22:41the greed and sins

01:22:41of adults.

01:22:42With the deaths

01:22:43of Vanair and Osquin,

01:22:44the vanity, privileges

01:22:45and flambority

01:22:45that had once

01:22:46around him

01:22:46vanished overnight.

01:22:47Once the truth

01:22:48of the royal bloodline

01:22:49array spread,

01:22:49he was no longer

01:22:50the high and mighty

01:22:51young master,

01:22:52and the silver of magic

01:22:53he had forced out

01:22:53by stealing

01:22:54Iris' sacred tree extract

01:22:55completely withered

01:22:56due to a lack

01:22:56of subsequent nourishment.

01:22:57The forged mark

01:22:58on his forehead

01:22:59disappeared,

01:22:59and he was reduced

01:23:00to a perfectly ordinary,

01:23:01mediocre child.

01:23:04Take him away.

01:23:06Let him become

01:23:07an ordinary farming child

01:23:08at the border.

01:23:10Father, this ruin

01:23:11of the Wind Kingdom

01:23:12should not retain

01:23:13a bloodline of sin.

01:23:16Father, mother,

01:23:18where did you go?

01:23:25Jasper will be good

01:23:26from now on.

01:23:30He no longer had

01:23:31a luxurious golden cradle

01:23:32or a crowd of attendants

01:23:33surrounding him.

01:23:34He was sent

01:23:35to a remote village

01:23:36far from power strangles,

01:23:37becoming an ordinary orphan

01:23:39who knew nothing

01:23:40of his birth parents,

01:23:41perhaps staying far away

01:23:43from the grievers here.

01:23:45The coronation ceremony

01:23:47lasted for seven days

01:23:48before finally came

01:23:49to a successful conclusion.

01:23:50Serafina stood atop

01:23:51the highest altar

01:23:52of the supreme sanctuary,

01:23:53with past severing

01:23:54her ties,

01:23:55completely submission,

01:23:56weakness,

01:23:56and ridiculous mortal affection

01:23:58to radiate in natural wings

01:23:59behind her back

01:24:00over all the world.

01:24:01And by her side,

01:24:02she held the hand

01:24:02of a beautiful,

01:24:03smiling young girl.

01:24:04Iris had completely recovered.

01:24:05Not only was the supreme bloodline

01:24:06within her body fully awakened,

01:24:08but her large eyes

01:24:08shone as brightly as a galaxy.

01:24:10Shaking her little head,

01:24:11she held Seraf onto

01:24:12the divine throne

01:24:12that symbolized

01:24:13the highest power

01:24:14of the elfin world

01:24:14amid the mountain-shattering

01:24:15worship of all living being.

01:24:17Mother,

01:24:18it's so beautiful here.

01:24:20Will anyone dare

01:24:22to bully us

01:24:23from now on?

01:24:24Serafana looked down,

01:24:26gently stroking

01:24:27the brilliant,

01:24:27supreme golden mark

01:24:28on her forehead,

01:24:29her eyes filled

01:24:30with maternal resolve.

01:24:33No, my darling.

01:24:34From this day forward,

01:24:35Mother will protect you,

01:24:36and no one will ever

01:24:37be able to harm you

01:24:38in the slightest.

01:24:39Mother and daughter

01:24:40sat side by side

01:24:40upon the divine throne.

01:24:41Beneath their feet

01:24:42lay the vast,

01:24:43prospering territory

01:24:43of the elven royal family.

01:24:45The empress

01:24:45who had cast aside

01:24:46romantic entachments

01:24:47now stood alone

01:24:47in her divinity,

01:24:48ruling over the sanctuary

01:24:49and beginning a legendary era

01:24:50that belonged entirely to them.
