00:00True Luna. Though the Lichen King himself announced me. The Lichen Seer said I was born to be a true
00:06Luna. Though the Lichen King himself announced me his son's mate. But on our bonding day, my father's bastard daughter
00:12swapped the carriage and took my place. I caught it, stopped the ceremony, had her dragged out and sold to
00:18the pleasure dens. I entered the crown den just like I was supposed to. Then on the day I went
00:23into labor, the healer said the pup was breech. Both of us might not survive.
00:27That's when Kale walked in. The Lichen Prince who had always given me everything I wanted. He walked in with
00:34her standing right beside him.
00:44Alara, if you hadn't lied about being born Luna, why would I have ever been forced to bond with you?
00:51Your mother is already in the warrior camps. Now it's your turn to taste the feeling of losing everything.
01:00Bella leaned close to my ear.
01:03That Luna seat you wanted? That man you wanted? They can only ever be mine.
01:10I died right there, consumed by rage. When I opened my eyes, I was back. Back on the day of
01:16the bonding ceremony. This time, I decided to give them exactly what they wanted.
01:21I am born under the moon's blessing. But the alpha throne? There is no reason it has to be his.
01:27The drums outside snapped me back. White silk, everywhere. I was reborn. Through the curtain, I heard my mother crying.
01:35Alara, once you pass through those gates, I can't protect you anymore. Hold your temper. Never speak against Kale.
01:42I felt the ache hit me hard. Last time, it was this exact moment I noticed something was wrong.
01:47I walked off my carriage, filed a complaint on the spot, dragged Bella right back out of that carriage.
01:53The Lichen King wanted her executed. My father had to kneel and use our ancestral honor seal just to keep
01:59her alive.
01:59What I never knew was that Kale had been secretly sending her money the whole time, waiting for my weakest
02:05moment to destroy me.
02:06Thinking about their faces still made me sick. This time, I sat still. I waited. Just as the carriage was
02:12about to move, I heard hooves. Then a voice I knew too well.
02:16Stop!
02:17My body went cold the second I heard it. That voice. In my past life, he used that same voice
02:22to whisper sweet things to me, right before he threw me into the abyss.
02:26Kale blocked the whole procession, walked straight to the main carriage, pulled Bella out himself.
02:31How is this the bastard daughter?
02:34The Lichen King chose the illegitimate daughter.
02:37How was the carriage swapped?
02:38This is an act of deceiving the king!
02:40Kale didn't hear any of it. His eyes were only on her.
02:43Thank the moon we made it in time. Bella, this time I will make you my mate. I swear it.
02:49A cold shock ran through me. He was reborn too.
02:53Bella was flustered, but she couldn't hide how smug she was.
02:57My mother pushed through the crowd.
02:59Why is it you? Where is my Alara? Where have you hidden her?
03:03Kale shoved her aside.
03:06The Lunar Seat belongs to Bella alone. I already told His Majesty. A wolf like Alara who spreads lies cannot
03:15enter the stronghold.
03:16The argument outside kept getting louder. I lifted the curtain and stepped down. My mother saw me in plain clothes.
03:22Everything that was supposed to be mine was draped on Bella. She snapped at Bella immediately.
03:28The Alpha gave you permission to attend out of compassion and you had the nerve to steal the Luma Seat.
03:38This was commanded by His Majesty's own decree. Do you want the whole Blackwood pack buried with you?
03:44Bella and I love each other. If Alara hadn't made up that born Luna trick, she isn't even worthy of
03:51being in my presence. His Majesty knows everything now. The decree will be withdrawn. I will never recognize this bonding.
03:59Sister, I don't know why the carriage was changed. But since this is Kale's wish, I dare not argue.
04:07Alara, be sensible. Don't disgrace the Blackwood pack.
04:10I congratulate the Lyman Prince on getting exactly what he desires.
04:14He forgot something. I didn't need him to be myself. But whether he could hold that throne, that was another
04:21matter entirely.
04:23Kale looked surprised. He snorted and walked away with Bella. The crowd watched them go.
04:29I stood alone in the road in my bonding robes. My mother gripped my hand and turned on my father.
04:35Edmund Blackwood, this is the bastard you insisted on keeping. She had the nerve to scheme against Alara.
04:41If you don't fix this, I want a separation.
04:45My father said nothing.
04:47Mother, don't be angry. I chose not to bond with him. Isn't it good to have me by your side
04:53forever?
04:56Yes. My daughter was born under the moon's blessing. Go back to your room and have a rest.
05:02Today you were wronged, but Kale already has His Majesty's approval. I can't help you.
05:07You are always refined and sensible far more than Bella. But the whole territory knows you were supposed to be
05:13bonded today. If you stay home now, everyone will talk.
05:16The Blackwood pack will be the laughing stock of the territory.
05:18I cut him off.
05:19So father wants me to be that laughing stock?
05:22A legitimate daughter. The king's chosen mate stolen by a bastard. And now I'm supposed to step aside to cover
05:29it up? Before nightfall, I'd already be everyone's gossip.
05:33Father, your real fear is I still want the Luna suit. That I'll create a war between sisters and expose
05:40how you favored a low she-wolf.
05:42Allowed a bastard to steal the legitimate daughter's bonding ruined the Blackwood Alpha's reputation.
05:48If I willingly bond with someone else, he could spin it as my own failure.
05:53If you want me to bond, I will bond. But I choose who? Otherwise, I bring everything before His Majesty.
06:01Every detail about the she-wolf you kept. The bonding switch made against the Royal Reku?
06:07Kale claimed the king approved the swap, but they definitely did not tell the king that Bella was an illegitimate
06:13bastard. With the Royal Bloodline's honor at stake, His Majesty would be furious.
06:19My father's eyes narrowed. He pulled his hand back.
06:22It seems Alara already has someone in mind.
06:25I didn't bother softening it.
06:27Is there a lone wolf in the Scholar's Hall called Ash Mercer? I want him.
06:32My father's face went dark immediately.
06:33Out of the question. The Blackwood Pack's legitimate daughter, letting some penniless rogue, caught her.
06:39Even if he can read a few words, he will never set foot in this pack house.
06:43I raised an eyebrow.
06:44Didn't father just say I could choose?
06:47Now you change your mind the moment you look at his background.
06:49Or maybe having one Crown Luna isn't enough.
06:52Maybe father still wants to trade me for more power.
06:55And perhaps even...
06:56I covered my mouth fast, put on a shocked look.
06:59My father glanced around at the guests and rebuked me.
07:02Enough.
07:02I watched him pace and found it laughable.
07:05In his eyes, I was probably nothing like the obedient daughter he used to know.
07:09Fine. Since you want to bond, then let it be as you say.
07:12He turned to leave.
07:13I called after him.
07:14One more thing.
07:15My bonding gifts must be double what Bella received.
07:18A legitimate daughter versus a bastard.
07:21Is that too much?
07:22He gritted his teeth.
07:23Granted.
07:24I also want a separation document between you and Mother.
07:28If you won't give it, I'll bring Mother before His Majesty and let the King decide.
07:33Ungrateful child!
07:34But I knew he had agreed.
07:35In my past life and this one.
07:36I must protect you.
07:37He only ever cared about his face and his power.
07:39Even if they cannot see it.
07:40I sent riders to find Ash Mercer immediately.
07:43I have a task for you.
07:43Told him to come in three days with bond gifts.
07:45I want you to find someone.
07:45For the Lady Ellara.
07:46For the Lady Ellara.
07:47Every word shaking with nervous sincerity.
07:50To be favored by the pack princess is Ash's great fortune.
07:53I will prepare a hundred mile procession and see you bonded in splendor.
07:58I laughed softly.
07:59What I didn't expect.
08:00Before Ash Mercer even arrived, Kale came back to the pack house with Bella.
08:05A few days later, I was drinking tea with my mother in the main hall.
08:10You see the Lycan prince and his Luna and still you do not bow.
08:15Are you waiting to be punished?
08:16Before I could respond, his attendant sees both of us.
08:30Has the Lion King's register recorded Bella's name?
08:34If not, and you're already calling her Crown Luna, you're flouting his majesty's own decree.
08:40Why would I bow to a lion prince who ignores pack law and deceives his king?
08:47My lord, everyone knows sister has deep feelings for you.
08:53Acting out of emotion is only natural.
08:56Please don't harm your health.
09:01Sister, all of this is my fault.
09:04I couldn't control my feelings, but I never meant to hurt you.
09:09You have everything.
09:11The finest wolves in the territory would line up for you.
09:14I've had nothing from the beginning.
09:16Even seeing our father once was nearly impossible.
09:20I only reached for this one small warmth.
09:23So knowing full well the royal decree couldn't be refused,
09:27you secretly arranged your bonding behind the king's back.
09:30Risked the entire Blackwood pack.
09:32On the day of the ceremony.
09:34All for your uncontrollable feelings.
09:54Kale stared at the blood at my mouth.
09:57I am the Lycan prince.
10:00The future Lycan king.
10:01Whatever Luna I chooses to seat, I will seat.
10:06How many lives do you have to spend on defiance?
10:12Shameless creature!
10:14Elara doesn't lower herself to argue with you.
10:17What does it matter that you clawed your way onto a high branch?
10:21A sparrow can't become a true wolf no matter how high she flies.
10:30You're looking to die.
10:32Stop!
10:34Is this how the future Lycan king treats pack members?
10:37Taking lives without cause.
10:39You can't even be sure you'll hold the alpha throne.
10:41His majesty is still strong and healthy.
10:44Coveting your father's seat this openly.
10:48Are you planning a coup?
11:04He had someone bandage my hand.
11:06Bella watched the whole thing.
11:08Jealousy surged across her face.
11:10She collapsed against Kale with tears in her eyes.
11:14It's all my fault.
11:15Please cast me out and give sister the lunar seat back.
11:21What kind of nonsense is that?
11:24You are the only one I will ever claim as my mate.
11:30Since they've made you this miserable,
11:32shall I have them thrown into the punishment den and flayed alive?
11:38Too easy your anger.
11:40I stared at him and the memories flooded back.
11:43Last time, I was near the end of my labor when he brought Bella to parade in front of my
11:47bedside.
11:48To vent Bella's anger, he had my mother bound and sent to the warrior camp,
11:53where she became a slave for any wolf to use as they pleased.
11:59When I finally saw my mother again, she was already a broken corpse.
12:04Every bone shattered.
12:06I died, consumed by rage.
12:08I couldn't even kill him with my own hands.
12:11Being reborn, I swore to myself I would never let my mother be harmed again.
12:16Not even a fraction.
12:17Bella was still crying beside us.
12:21How could that be?
12:22The lady is the mistress of this house.
12:25Who am I to give her orders?
12:28You are now the Crown Luna.
12:30You deserve this position.
12:32This one who has already taken a separation is of no account.
12:35Kale ignored her and commanded his attendants to seize my mother.
12:44Kale!
12:45Wrongdoing should not extend to family.
12:48If you have a quarrel, bring it to me!
12:53You think I dare not?
12:55I'll grant your wish right now.
12:58No!
13:08Want to save your mother?
13:11Kneel and slap yourself an apology to Bella.
13:14I'll release her when she says she's satisfied.
13:26I'll kneel.
13:28Let go of my mother!
13:37The slap and the apology.
13:40A liar won short and your mother loses a finger.
13:43No!
13:57I stared at my mother, collapsed unconscious on the floor.
14:01My tears were already gone.
14:02I couldn't even curse.
14:04All I could do was keep striking my face to bloody red,
14:07biting my lip until it broke.
14:10I beg the Crown Luna's forgiveness!
14:13I was blind and without sense.
14:16Bella watched me in silence.
14:18Oh my lord, have them stop.
14:21The sister's forehead is bleeding.
14:23Has my Bella's anger eased yet?
14:25The triumph barely contained on her face.
14:28Let sister rise.
14:30After all, I still want sister to come into the stronghold and take care of me.
14:34Kale laughed.
14:35Fine.
14:37Having shared blood as your personal attendant will mean better care.
14:41I know you have yearned for me and couldn't have me.
14:43Now I give you the chance to see me every day.
14:46You should be thanking Bella for her generous heart.
14:49Who would bond with someone selfish and with very little time left to live?
14:54His face transformed instantly.
14:58He raised his blade to run me through.
15:01Bold words. Let me see just how hard your spine really is.
15:05From the entrance came one announcement.
15:08The royal decree arrives!
15:09Kale froze, released me, knelt with everyone else.
15:14His face still vanished.
15:16My heart dropped back into my chest.
15:18I clung to the last thread of strength and knelt.
15:20Elder Haze walked in.
15:22The Lycan King's most trusted attendant.
15:24By the will of His Majesty the Lion King.
15:26Summon Kale, Ellera and Bella to the royal stronghold at once.
15:31Kale had no idea what this meant.
15:33He looked at Elder Haze without respect.
15:34Is that all?
15:36Did His Majesty say nothing else?
15:38Or did you bungle the King's message?
15:40Shall I have your head removed?
15:42Elder Haze gave him a sideways glance.
15:44Lion Prince, this servant dares not guess at His Majesty's intent.
15:49All will be known once you enter the stronghold.
15:53Maybe the King wants to grant us the bonding in person.
15:56He summons sister too.
15:58His Majesty is thorough.
16:00He won't let us be wronged.
16:02Kale's brow eased slightly.
16:04He glanced back at me with contempt.
16:07Are you not going to go change into something presentable?
16:10Appearing before the King covered in blood is a disgrace.
16:14I pressed my wounded palm and started to turn away.
16:17Elder Haze spoke up.
16:19His Majesty's intent is immediate departure.
16:22If we are late, are you prepared to answer for it?
16:25I slipped a silver coin into Elder Haze's palm.
16:28Coaxed a warm smile from him.
16:32This servant thanks the young lady.
16:34I tidied my hair as best I could.
16:38Kale boarded a separate one behind us.
16:41I was still departing together with him after all.
16:45How unlucky.
16:46The carriage moved down the long avenue.
16:49My palms still seeped blood soaking through my sleeve.
16:52I thought about what Elder Haze just did for me.
16:55And I began to understand what I needed to do.
16:58In my past life, Elder Haze was the Liking King's most capable attendant.
17:03After Kale took the throne, all because he dared to counsel openly,
17:08Kale had his tongue cut out in front of the whole court,
17:10then beaten to death, blow by blow.
17:14By that time, I was already a wandering primal spirit.
17:19I watched him bleed out on the stones.
17:21The sorrow I felt had no words.
17:23I wrapped my wound with a clean cloth from my sleeve.
17:26Called out through the curtain quietly.
17:28Elder Haze.
17:30What does the young lady require?
17:32You have served at His Majesty's side for many years.
17:35What do you know to be the one thing most forbidden within these walls?
17:38A servant who waits on others.
17:40Who am I to speak freely of the stronghold's rules?
17:43Is the young lady testing me?
17:46You are a clever wolf, and you should not remain buried.
17:49I have only one question.
17:52If someone sought to overturn the order of this stronghold one day,
17:55would you go with the current?
17:57Or hold to your own conscience?
18:00After a moment, he dropped his voice lower.
18:02This servant has known only one master in this life.
18:05The one seated upon the Alpha Throne.
18:08Should anyone harbour thoughts toward what is not theirs to have,
18:11this servant will be the first to refuse them.
18:14I understood completely.
18:17With those words from you, I am at ease.
18:20Elder Haze said nothing more.
18:22Just gave me one long, meaningful look.
18:26Move along.
18:27Do not keep His Majesty waiting.
18:30The carriage is halted before the stronghold gate.
18:33Elder Haze led us through the long passage toward the Lycan King's Hall.
18:37The whole way there, Bella pressed close to Kale.
18:40Kept flicking glances at me with a smirk she couldn't hide.
18:44Kale strode like someone who had already won.
18:46I laughed coldly inside.
18:48Laugh while you still can.
18:50In the hall, I knelt before the throne and paid my respects properly.
18:53This subject, Allura Blackwood, greets His Majesty.
18:57May His Majesty have 10,000 years of reign.
19:01Your son greets his royal father.
19:04May His Majesty be well.
19:05The Lycan Prince is actually willing to call me royal father.
19:10What an enormous honour.
19:13The entire hall went dead silent.
19:15Every person dropped to their knees.
19:18Your son would never dare.
19:21We beg His Majesty to see clearly.
19:23The Lycan King descended from the High Seat.
19:26Faced dark as a storm.
19:27Eyes bearing down on Kale like a death sentence.
19:30You dare to issue false royal decrees in my name now?
19:33What is there left that you cannot do?
19:36Kale and Bella both went completely still.
19:39Kale's mind went blank for a second.
19:41His gaze snapped to me.
19:42Your Majesty, your son would never dare commit this crime.
19:45It was her.
19:47She withdrew from the bonding first.
19:49Deliberately pulled Bella forward to take the blame.
19:52Your son didn't want to shame the royal name.
19:55That's why it came to this.
19:57Your Majesty, I knows nothing.
19:59I truly don't understand why Sister would frame us like this.
20:03Alara has been willful since childhood.
20:06Abusing her status as the legitimate daughter.
20:08Your son could not bring himself to bond with someone of that character.
20:12If there is any fault, it rests entirely with your son.
20:16It has nothing to do with Bella.
20:18Listening to him twist everything, I felt nothing.
20:21In my past life, he did the same.
20:23Threw every drop of filth onto me.
20:25Elevated Bella into an innocent, untouched soul.
20:28This time, I was no longer the Alara who could be slaughtered as she lay.
20:32I watched their desperate scrambling and let out a cold laugh.
20:35Turned and spoke without flinching.
20:37Your Majesty, the one who ordered the bonding carriage swapped, was someone from the Lycan Prince's own side.
20:43She bribed the Blackwood Pack steward.
20:46Had the ceremony attendant conceal everything.
20:48Stripped away every gift my mother prepared.
20:51Worked with the Lycan Prince to force the bonding through as a done deal.
20:56I did not.
20:58Your Majesty, your son swears on his life.
21:01Bella is kind-hearted by nature.
21:03She could never do something like this.
21:12By your account, every single one of them has grown bold enough to deceive me to my face.
21:18The complaints spread across the floor.
21:20Dense text covering the entire document.
21:23Kale picked it up with shaking hands.
21:25After only a few lines, his face turned a sickly mix of white and green.
21:29I watched his fingers tremble.
21:31Sweat breaking out on his brow.
21:33Bella crumpled to the ground.
21:34So shaken she forgot how to cry.
21:37I was deeply satisfied inside.
21:40But I showed nothing.
21:41Just kept my gaze down on those ink-red words on the floor.
21:44That was the Pack Steward's signed confession from the Pack Justice Hall.
21:47Every detail.
21:48How he received Bella's payment.
21:50How he bribed the ceremony attendant.
21:53How the carriage was swapped.
21:55The moment I was reborn, I had him seized and delivered to the Pack Justice Hall overnight.
22:01Under hard interrogation, what little backbone he had turned to dust.
22:05My father had plenty of enemies in court.
22:08Finding wolves willing to file the petition wasn't difficult.
22:11But this wasn't even the most damning piece.
22:13The truly fatal surprise I had hidden inside the petition was a set of healing records from the Pack Healers
22:18Archive.
22:19Documenting how the High Consort, before she ever carried a child, had suffered an injury that left her permanently unable
22:26to conceive.
22:27His Majesty had already verified those records.
22:30There was no other explanation for the wave of murderous intent in his eyes.
22:34Kale was still fighting.
22:35Crawling on his knees, pressing his brow into the cold stone floor.
22:39Your Majesty, this must be fabricated.
22:43The Pack Steward was bought to drive a wedge between father and son!
22:48He raised his head, showing blood from the kneeling.
22:50Your Majesty, your son was raised by your hand.
22:53Named Lyon Prince by your decree.
22:56Has your son ever shown one moment of disloyalty?
23:00The Lycan King narrowed his eyes, but said nothing.
23:03Kale took that as an opening.
23:05It must be Alara.
23:07She acts out of scorned bitterness.
23:10She's been plotting to destroy me from the beginning!
23:13I watched them coldly, and finally spoke.
23:16The Lycan Prince keeps saying I act out of scorned bitterness.
23:19I dare to ask the Lyman Prince one question.
23:22On the day of our bonding ceremony, why did you take Bella and fled the territory in secret?
23:28Kale's face went rigid.
23:30Your carriage that day was stocked with three months of rations and travel funds, and border crossing papers.
23:37If His Majesty truly approved, why would you not arrive with a full procession to claim your mate properly?
23:41Why flee in that frantic, furtive way?
23:43He opened and closed his mouth.
23:45You are making wild accusations.
23:47This Lycan Prince has never fled anywhere.
23:49I gave a faint smile and drew a letter from my sleeve.
23:52Please allow His Majesty to review this.
23:54It is correspondence between the Lycan Prince and Bella.
23:58It details how to swap the carriage, how to proceed without permission, how to use the deed already done to
24:04force His Majesty's hand.
24:06The Lycan Prince's private seal appears at the close.
24:09Elder Haze received the letter and placed it before the royal seat.
24:12Every trace of color drained from Kale's face.
24:15In my past life, I stumbled upon this letter in Kale's hidden compartment in my final dying moments.
24:22I was powerless then, could only watch as he burned it to ash.
24:26This life I moved before him.
24:28On the second day after I was reborn, I had a copy made of that key.
24:33That letter was now resting quietly on the Lycan King's hand.
24:36The Lycan King unfolded the paper and scanned it in one sweep.
24:41Then he laughed, cold as something seeping up from the ground.
24:45Every spine in the room went rigid.
24:48Very good, very good indeed.
24:51He folded the letter slowly and handed it to Elder Haze.
24:56A son I raised for 20 years and in the end he is another wolf's blood entirely.
25:01Kale's whole body jolted.
25:03He stared in stunned disbelief.
25:05Your Majesty, what are you saying?
25:09He raised his hand toward Elder Haze.
25:10Bring that out, let him see.
25:16His gaze traveled between the king and my face.
25:19Finally fixed on me, his eyes churning with disbelief and hatred.
25:23Alara, what have you done?
25:26I did not answer.
25:27Elder Haze returned, carrying a gilded wooden case.
25:30Inside were yellowed medical records and a sealed blood kin test report.
25:3423 years ago, the High Consort, bitter over my neglect, gave in to her resentment.
25:40While confined to the exile wing, she took a guard as her secret lover and conceived an illegitimate pup.
25:45Because her body had been damaged, a miscarriage would have destroyed her last chance at motherhood.
25:50So she kept the pup hidden and gave birth in secret.
25:53That illegitimate pup is you.
25:57Kale.
25:58Kale knelt on the floor.
26:00No. Impossible.
26:02I am the Lycan prince.
26:04I am the firstborn legitimate heir.
26:06How could I possibly be-
26:08Your Majesty, there must be an error!
26:12How could the Lion Prince not be-
26:14How could he possibly be-
26:15The Lycan king did not look at her at all.
26:18Guards!
26:20Guards!
26:20Remove his Lylan prince's robes.
26:23He is stripped of all rank.
26:25Exiled to the borderlands.
26:27Never permitted to return.
26:28Since you have been so devoted to him through all of this, I will grant your wish.
26:32You are to accompany him for the rest of your days.
26:35No separation shall ever be permitted.
26:39She opened her mouth to say something.
26:41Then realized Kale was looking at her.
26:43Those eyes cold as a vipers.
26:45Her whole body shuddered.
26:48It was all you.
26:49If you hadn't pushed me to it.
26:51If it weren't for you-
26:53What are you saying?
26:54It was you who-
26:55You ruined me!
26:57If not for you, this rotten she-wolf!
26:59I would never have come to this!
27:01I should have been the king!
27:03I should have been-
27:04Bella clutched her throat.
27:06Kale was restrained and still.
27:08But either of them again, raised his hand, and signaled the guards to drag them away.
27:13Then, Kale wrenched free of the guards and lunged straight at me.
27:17Elara! I am going to kill you!
27:19His hand hadn't even grazed my clothes before guards pinned him to the ground.
27:23He struggled to raise his head.
27:25You will definitely regret this.
27:26That once handsome face, now a mask of savagery.
27:30You will definitely regret this.
27:32I looked at him, and inside I was oddly calm.
27:35My palms still throbbed. He had stabbed it with a blade not long ago.
27:38My abdomen still ached. He had driven his boot into it not long ago.
27:41But in my heart, there was only the lightness of a burden finally lifted.
27:45He could never hurt me again.
27:47Kale was dragged away.
27:48Bella was escorted out after him.
27:50Her echoed down the long passage and dissolved into the stronghold walls.
27:54The hall held only me, the Lycan king, and a handful of attendants.
27:58He stood with his back to me.
28:00That imperial gold figure casting a long shadow across the stone floor.
28:04After a silence, he finally spoke.
28:07Elara.
28:08I knelt respectfully.
28:11This subject is here.
28:12He turned to face me, studied me for a long moment.
28:16You are a clever child.
28:18This subject would not dare.
28:21This subject only could not bear to watch someone deceive his majesty.
28:26Nor bear to see someone taint the royal bloodline with a false air.
28:30The Lycan king's eyes deepened.
28:32His voice carried a thread of exhaustion that was almost imperceptible.
28:35I was deceived for 23 years.
28:40Looked in that moment like nothing more than an old wolf who had been lied to for half his days.
28:44I did not speak. Some things were not mine to say.
28:48After a long while,
28:49Take her to the side chamber to rest.
28:51Have the healer come for her wounds.
28:54He glanced at me once more.
28:57I still have one matter to attend to. You should be present.
29:01I knew exactly what that matter was.
29:03Elder Haze led me out through a covered walkway and into the side chamber.
29:06Simple and elegant.
29:08A light drift of alpha musk incense curling from the burner.
29:11Young lady, please wait here. This servant will fetch the healer.
29:15Elder Haze.
29:18Thank you for speaking up just now.
29:20Otherwise I might not have even had a chance to tidy myself before appearing before the king.
29:26Drouched in blood.
29:27He deflected twice, but in the end accepted it.
29:30Young lady is too kind.
29:33This servant only followed the proper rules. It amounted to nothing.
29:36He hesitated, then stepped closer.
29:38Does the young lady know who else his majesty summoned today?
29:42The answer had already taken shape in my mind.
29:45The young lady is of great buffing.
29:48Those with great blessing naturally meet with great fortune.
29:51I sat alone while servants cleaned my wounds and applied medicine.
29:56It nearly severed a tendon.
29:58It would likely leave a scar.
30:01No matter, let it scar.
30:03This scar would be the most precious mark of this life.
30:07A reminder of the abyss I survived.
30:09A reminder that I would never let anyone wound me like that again.
