00:00:12Alexander, let me help you with that.
00:00:15Get out, before I throw you through that window.
00:00:24Sir, the quarterly reports are ready for your review.
00:00:27Did you find her?
00:00:30Isabella, where are you?
00:00:33300 years ago, beyond the human world, witches, werewolves, and vampires held a fragile balance.
00:00:39Werewolves were fierce warriors, forever at war with the vampires.
00:00:45Witches drew their magic from the earth, pure, immortal.
00:00:49Vampires were cursed by the sun, but legend said the blood of a priestess could let them walk in the
00:00:54daylight and make them unstoppable.
00:00:57The witches and the wolves were bound by a marriage pact, but the priestess, she ran.
00:01:03Soon after, a mysterious rot fell upon the vampires, and the three factions called a truce.
00:01:09What an interesting story.
00:01:11Ah!
00:01:13This scent.
00:01:14Isabella, I finally found you.
00:01:20Ouch.
00:01:21Great, a paper cut.
00:01:24A paper cut.
00:01:33Sir, we are closed.
00:01:34You need to leave.
00:01:36Finally, I've found you.
00:01:39What are you doing?
00:01:40Is this a robbery?
00:01:41I don't want money.
00:01:43I want you.
00:01:46What do you want?
00:02:05What the hell was that?
00:02:12Bastard!
00:02:17Run all you want, little bird.
00:02:20You're mine now.
00:02:22I stared at the picture-perfect family of three before me, as a boundless despair swallowed me like a tidal
00:02:30wave.
00:02:31Just as I was on the verge of collapsing, Ronan's mother, Elodie, walked over hoarsely, flanked by attendants.
00:02:38Three-year-old Jasper was incredibly sweet-talked, twitching his delicate little elven ears.
00:02:43He immediately ran over on his short legs and tightly hugged Elodie's leg.
00:02:48Grandma!
00:02:50I finally get to see you!
00:02:52Mother said you are the most benevolent and noble elder in the entire kingdom!
00:03:00Elodie, who was extremely superstitious about bloodlines and male esters, melted instantly.
00:03:05She gathered Jasper into her arms, treating him like her ultimate treasure.
00:03:11Seizing the moment, Vanessa leaned into Ronan's embrace, weeping with feigned grievance.
00:03:17It's all my fault.
00:03:19If I had been stronger, your perfect grandson wouldn't have spent three years starving in exile.
00:03:28Elodie's heart ached for them.
00:03:36The cold wind wowed through the withered tower, a place that never saw a single ray of moonlight.
00:03:43I held my frail little daughter close, huddling in the corner of the freezing stone wall.
00:03:49Having barely survived childbirth, and with my mana completely burned out,
00:03:55my chest felt as if it were being torn apart.
00:03:58By ten thousand winds.
00:04:01Just when I was completely helpless and desperate,
00:04:05the heavy wooden door of the tower was suddenly pushed open,
00:04:10and Ronan walked in, silhouetted against the light.
00:04:14In that single instant, a ridiculous shred of hope actually flared up once more in my deadland heart.
00:04:23He was the child's father.
00:04:25Had he finally softened coming to bring some mana, to ward off the cold?
00:04:31Or to take my daughter and me back?
00:04:33Forcing my mana-depleased body up, my pale lips trembled.
00:04:38Did you come to see Iris?
00:04:40She caught a chill.
00:04:42The night sky hung low, as the freezing wind raged,
00:04:46through the dead silence of the withered tower,
00:04:49preventing even a single slimmer of moonlight from penetrating the darkness.
00:04:53I had burned through the vast majority of my mana during childbirth.
00:04:56The magic within my body had completely dried up.
00:04:59I could only hold my little princess tightly in my arms,
00:05:02using my own faint body wheat to provide warmth for my infant,
00:05:05who was running a continuous low fever inside her swaddling clothes.
00:05:09Yet at this very moment,
00:05:10inside the Wind Kingdom's main temple,
00:05:13there was a completely different scene
00:05:15of brilliant lights, music, and extravagant luxury.
00:05:19Vanessa and her son sat on a soft couch,
00:05:21covered in the rarest luminescent beast skins,
00:05:24basking in the attention and adoration
00:05:25of all the high-ranking elves in the kingdom.
00:05:29Three-year-old Jasper fluttered the tiny green elbin wings that had just begun to develop on his back,
00:05:34holding an exquisite elbin sacred berry in his hands,
00:05:37his face completely smeared with juice.
00:05:39Elayda sat high upon her throne,
00:05:41grinning from ear to ear,
00:05:43her eyes overflowing with a dotting pride.
00:05:46Watching this warm and harmonious scene,
00:05:48the more Elayda looked at this chubby grandson,
00:05:51the more pleasing he seemed to her eye.
00:05:52Stroking the staff that symbolized her power as the High Priestess,
00:05:56she impatiently turned to prompt my husband, Ronan, who was standing beside her.
00:06:00Ronan,
00:06:01Vanessa and her son have wandered among foreign kingdoms for years,
00:06:05enduring endless hardships.
00:06:07Now my precious eldest grandson is already three years old,
00:06:10and the wind-attributed mana within his body is so abundant.
00:06:15How can he continue to stay in the guest room so illegitimately?
00:06:19Tonight, you must have Vanessa and Jasper officially move into the Lord's main manor,
00:06:24into the bedchambers that rightfully belong to the primary mistress and the heir!
00:06:29Ronan lowered his eyes,
00:06:30looking at Vanessa's adoration-filled face,
00:06:32as she leaned coyly against him,
00:06:35and then at the child, who was sweetly calling him father.
00:06:38The scales in his heart had already...
00:06:39Following her move into the main manor,
00:06:41Vanessa began to carry herself entirely as the Queen of the Wind Kingdom.
00:06:44Dressed in extravagant silks,
00:06:46she glided through the temple flanked by her entourage,
00:06:49soaking in the endless, shallow flattery.
00:06:51Yet a stubborn sliver of anxiety remained buried deep in her chest.
00:06:55Whenever night fell,
00:06:55she would catch Ronan standing on the balcony,
00:06:58staring with a conflicted expression towards that dark, desolate, withered tower.
00:07:01Though he spoke with absolute coldness, subconsciously,
00:07:04he still harbored a faint trace of worry for my baby and me,
00:07:07a worry he refused to admit even to himself.
00:07:10This lingering gaze made Vanessa's jealousness and paranoia grow wild.
00:07:14As long as my daughter and I were breathing,
00:07:17her position and Jasper's future would never be safe.
00:07:20An opportunity presented itself sooner than expected.
00:07:22Early this morning,
00:07:24desperate to give my frail daughter a single drop of clean water,
00:07:26my completely helpless self
00:07:28was forced to drag my broken body out of the tower,
00:07:31heading deep into the woods to harvest pure spring water filtered by ancient divine marks.
00:07:34Learning of this, Vanessa's eyes turned ice cold.
00:07:38She knew her moment had arrived.
00:07:40She quietly dismissed the guards around the main manor,
00:07:43taking only a few of her most ruthless disconfidence,
00:07:46as she slipped into the dark, abandoned withered tower.
00:07:49The wooden door creaked open,
00:07:51letting in the piercing chill.
00:07:53Vanessa stepped over the debris,
00:07:55advancing slow pace by slow pace.
00:07:57When I returned to the withered tower,
00:08:00thoroughly exhausted,
00:08:02and clutching that tiny container of pure spring water tightly to my chest,
00:08:06what greeted me was not the gentle sound of my daughter's breathing,
00:08:09but a deathly silence.
00:08:11My heart skipped a beat,
00:08:13and a boundless panic instantly seized me in a death grip.
00:08:18I practically crawled and scrambled my way toward that freezing stone bed.
00:08:25Iris.
00:08:28Mommy is back.
00:08:29The moment my trembling hands pulled back the swaddling clothes,
00:08:33the sight before me caused me to drop into an abyss of ice.
00:08:38Her originally pink little face was now completely white,
00:08:46even faintly tinged with an eerie, sickly green, deathly energy.
00:08:50What truly shattered my soul
00:08:52was that the faint golden elven divine mark on her forehead,
00:08:56which had been flickering softly,
00:08:58was now darkened across a massive area.
00:09:03Iris!
00:09:06Wake up.
00:09:08Look at mummy.
00:09:10Don't scare mummy.
00:09:12Sprinting once more
00:09:13toward the wind king.
00:09:17RORAN!
00:09:18I beg you,
00:09:21connect to me.
00:09:25Save Iris.
00:09:27I knelt on the freezing floor of the infirmary,
00:09:29sending out the soul transmission over and over again,
00:09:32even though maintaining it for every additional second
00:09:34brought a tearing, agonizing pain to my dried up sea of consciousness.
00:09:38I refuse to let go.
00:09:40At this moment inside the Wind Kingdom's main manor,
00:09:44Ronan was patiently keeping Vanessa and her son company.
00:09:48Three-year-old Jasper,
00:09:49dressed in a luxurious outfit embroidered with green leaves and gold thread,
00:09:53was pulling back a delicate short wooden mana bow.
00:10:00When he hit the bullseye,
00:10:02it drew bursts of gasps and praise from the surrounding attendants,
00:10:06perhaps perturbed and annoyed by my weeping,
00:10:09blood-soaked pleas that continuously echoed in his mind like an act of self-mutilation.
00:10:16After coldly cutting it off over a dozen times,
00:10:19Ronan finally accepted the connection.
00:10:21His phantom projection materialized in mid-air,
00:10:24looking down at my battered and wretched form from a great height,
00:10:27his eyes filled with absolute impatience and disgust.
00:10:52After the soul transmission was severed,
00:10:55Ronan stared at his empty palm,
00:10:56his brow frowned tightly together.
00:10:58Even though he utterly detested Serafina's jealous fits,
00:11:01he hearing a word like dying still caused a faint inexplicable wave of irritation and unease news
00:11:06to ripple through the depths of his heart.
00:11:08Vanessa, who was watching from the side,
00:11:10keenly captured the shift in Ronan's expression.
00:11:13A flash of panic crossed her eyes,
00:11:16but it was quickly replaced by a profound, calculating look.
00:11:20Vanessa stepped forward gently,
00:11:22considerably smoothing out the wrinkles on Ronan's groves
00:11:25as she spoke in a strained, high-pitched voice.
00:11:28Ronan, the primary mistress wept so heartbreakingly during the soul transmission.
00:11:31It has left my heart in a bit of a flutter as well.
00:11:34How about we go to the infirmary to take a look right now?
00:11:37After all, the little princess is also your flesh and blood.
00:11:40He absolutely mustn't let anything terrible happen.
00:11:43Seeing Vanessa being so magnenuance and understanding,
00:11:46the irritation in Ronan's heart dissipated quite a bit,
00:11:49and he nodded immediately.
00:11:51Very well.
00:11:52We will do as you say.
00:11:54I want to see what kind of trick she can fabric.
00:11:59Then I will go prepare some monispring water to soothe the child's mind.
00:12:03Wait for me a moment.
00:12:05Vanessa turned around, and the moment she was at an angle,
00:12:07the moment Ronan pushed open the door to the patient room,
00:12:10I was collapsed by the bedside,
00:12:12my eyes filled with absolute disbelief,
00:12:15as I stared at my daughter.
00:12:16Just moments ago, after Vanessa came in,
00:12:19under a false pretext,
00:12:21the deathly energy on Iris' face suddenly vanished.
00:12:25Even her shriveled, divine mark smoothed out.
00:12:30Ronan stepped forward with a freezing expression.
00:12:36He only touched her forehead.
00:12:40Irissa.
00:12:41Her temperature was normal.
00:12:43Her breathing was steady.
00:12:46Then he whipped his head around,
00:12:48staring dead at my deathly pale face.
00:12:51His voice was sharp,
00:12:54cutting,
00:12:54and poisoned.
00:12:55Seraphana!
00:12:57This is the life-threatening danger you spoke of?
00:13:01This is the shattered core you claimed?
00:13:05Her temperature is normal.
00:13:07Her breathing is steady.
00:13:08As the Lord's Concord,
00:13:10you dared to deceive me.
00:13:13Using your newborn daughter as bait for a jealous tantrum.
00:13:18You disgust me.
00:13:20Looking at his furious face,
00:13:22my entire body turned cold.
00:13:24No!
00:13:25Ronan, listen to me!
00:13:26Just moments ago, she was not like this!
00:13:28It was Vanessa!
00:13:29She came in just now!
00:13:31She fed something to Modell!
00:13:32But Ronan did not believe me for even a second.
00:13:36So I turned to the doctor beside us,
00:13:38as if he were my last saving straw.
00:13:41Doctor!
00:13:42Watching me fall to the ground in a distreveled, helpless state.
00:13:46Vanessa, hidden just behind Ronan,
00:13:48let a fleeting, venomous smile of triumph play on the corners of her lips.
00:13:52Then, stepping forward at the perfect moment,
00:13:55she submissively wrapped her arm aground Ronan's,
00:13:57practically melting half her body into his embrace.
00:14:00While casting feigned looks of pity at the little princess on the sickbed,
00:14:04she continuously blew poisonous whispers into Ronan's ear.
00:14:07Ronan, don't blame the primary mistress too much.
00:14:11Iris is a girl, after all.
00:14:13Born with a weak constitution.
00:14:14It is only natural she panicked when a minor chill threw the child into such a state.
00:14:19It's just...
00:14:20The primary mistress is far too sensitive.
00:14:24Always catching at shadows,
00:14:26and blowing minor inconveniences entirely out of proportion.
00:14:30She looked up,
00:14:31her eyes brimming with tenderness and adoration.
00:14:34Jasper's succession ceremony is in just two days.
00:14:36That is the true matter of gravity for the kingdom's legacy.
00:14:39We cannot let Seraphina delay your proper business over these trivial backyard squabbles.
00:14:48Let us return to the main manor.
00:14:50We shouldn't let her hysteria ruin our precious time with Jasper.
00:14:58Ronan averted his eyes in disgust,
00:15:00refusing to grant even half a glance to his biological daughter on the sickbed.
00:15:04Vanessa, you are the one who is truly sensible.
00:15:08Come, let us return.
00:15:09And ignore this mad...
00:15:12Three days later,
00:15:15Elid spared no expense,
00:15:17utilizing over half of the Wind Kingdom's treasury
00:15:19to organize an incredibly extravagant dawn trial
00:15:22for three-year-old Jasper.
00:15:24The streets of the main city
00:15:26were carpeted with sacred florencent petals,
00:15:29and they went so far
00:15:32as to exceptionally tame
00:15:33nine pure white unicorns
00:15:36to draw a crystal-invented float
00:15:40in a high-profile parade across the territory.
00:15:45As Vanessa held the hand of a magnificently dressed Jasper,
00:15:50his delicate little elven wings fluttering,
00:15:53and ascended the float,
00:15:55waves of deafening cheers erupted
00:15:58across the skies of the Wind Kingdom.
00:16:00Meanwhile, in a dark corner of the Grand Hall,
00:16:03I cradled my daughter,
00:16:04whose life force was growing fainter by the moment,
00:16:07watching this absurd fast with cold distachment.
00:16:10Without the Lord's explicit permission,
00:16:13my daughter and I lacked even the right
00:16:14to enter the main hall,
00:16:18forced to stand in the freezing wind of the outer gallery.
00:16:22Just then,
00:16:23Vanessa, basking in the adoration atop the float,
00:16:27spotted my figure from afar.
00:16:28With a flicker in her eyes,
00:16:30she intentionally walked towards me
00:16:31with a smug smile.
00:16:33Covering her mouth with a handkerchief,
00:16:35she let out a feigned sigh of self-reploach,
00:16:37though her eyes were filled with condescending charity.
00:16:40Sister,
00:16:41do not blame Mother and Ronin for being heartless.
00:16:44The Withered Tower is peaceful,
00:16:46making it the perfect place
00:16:47for your magic-deficient daughter to recuperate.
00:16:50Today is our Jasper's succession celebration.
00:16:52You shouldn't have brought her out in the first place.
00:16:54Look at her.
00:16:55Even her divine...
00:16:56The moment these words were spoken,
00:16:59a massive uproar rippled through the crowd.
00:17:03The High Elfin King was the supreme ruler
00:17:05of the entire Elfin world.
00:17:09A godlike existence.
00:17:12If they could obtain even a shred of that Lord's favor,
00:17:15the Wind Kingdom could instantly ascend
00:17:18into the ranks of the Super Kingdoms.
00:17:21Ronin's face was flushed with absolute pride,
00:17:23his features bearing an unmaskable arrogance,
00:17:27as he turned an affectionate gaze to Vanessa and Jasper.
00:17:33Once this cooperation is finalized,
00:17:35Jasper will not only be the king of the Wind Kingdom,
00:17:40but the most noble young commander of the future Sanctuary.
00:17:45I shall use the eternal prosperity of the Supreme Sanctuary
00:17:48to make up for the Grieges.
00:17:51Vanessa and her son suffered over the past three years.
00:17:57Vanessa cast a provocative glance at me,
00:17:59her eyes brimming with ostentation.
00:18:02After a few days of revelry,
00:18:04the disguise of the Illusion Potion finally collapsed,
00:18:08like a castle of sand.
00:18:10Lying on the stone bed of the withered tower,
00:18:13the toxins within my daughter's body
00:18:14broke past all restraint, erupting violently.
00:18:17She fell into a prolonged coma,
00:18:20her tiny body burning with a terrifying fever,
00:18:23her lips cracked and pale,
00:18:25her breathing reduced to a flickering candle in the wind.
00:18:30Liable to extinguish at any moment.
00:18:33I knelt by the bedside,
00:18:35my magic entirely dried up,
00:18:37leaving me helpless
00:18:38as I pressed my cheek against her icy little hand.
00:18:43My tears long since dried.
00:18:45Just as I was on the verge of despairing unto death,
00:18:49the wooden door of the high tower
00:18:51was suddenly pushed open in a frenzy.
00:18:53The Wind Kingdom doctor burst in,
00:18:56dripping with sweat,
00:18:56his eyes a tangled mess of guilt and terror.
00:19:00With trembling hands,
00:19:02he presented a crystal bottle,
00:19:04radiating a warm, sacred golden light,
00:19:07like the midday sun.
00:19:08This medicine can neutralize all poisons,
00:19:11save those on the brink of death,
00:19:13and immensely nourish the bloodline of an elven babe.
00:19:16Please, feed it to the little princess quickly.
00:19:18This is her sole path to survival.
00:19:20Staring at that ball of sacred golden light,
00:19:23my deadened heart began to beat frantically.
00:19:24I snatched the spiritual medicine,
00:19:26clutching it tightly to my chest,
00:19:28my heart overflowing with joy
00:19:29as I believed my daughter was finally saved.
00:19:32Trembling, I pulled the cork,
00:19:34preparing to feed this life-saving drop
00:19:37into my daughter's...
00:19:39Illion gripped the flask of sacred tree extract tightly.
00:19:42Feeling the boundless sacred energy swirling within,
00:19:45a fanatical greed erupted in her eyes.
00:19:47Give it back to me!
00:19:49That is Iris' life-saving medicine!
00:19:52I lunged forward like a madman to reclaim the medicine.
00:19:54Give it back!
00:19:57Only to be ruthlessly pinned to the ground
00:19:59by two high-tier guards using their magical staves.
00:20:02My knees slammed against the hard stone tiles,
00:20:06emitting a sickening crack.
00:20:07Following closely behind,
00:20:10Ronan looked down at me,
00:20:11with cold detachment,
00:20:13devoid of any pity.
00:20:15Alayda trembled with excitement,
00:20:17refusing to grant even a single glance
00:20:19to the dying daughter on the sickbed,
00:20:21her mind and heart entirely occupied
00:20:23by her precious eldest grandson.
00:20:25Roran!
00:20:26Look at this!
00:20:26This is the legendary sacred tree extract!
00:20:29Though three-year-old Jasper is extraordinarily gifted,
00:20:31his skeletal frame hasn't fully matured yet.
00:20:34If we let him drink this divine item,
00:20:36his wind magic will undergo a complete metamorphosis,
00:20:40allowing him to grow taller and more powerful than any peer,
00:20:43entirely solidifying his position
00:20:45as the first heir under the kingdom spotlight.
00:20:49Mother is correct.
00:20:51Amid my agonized weeping,
00:20:53that priceless flask of sacred tree extract
00:20:55was gently yet forcefully poured
00:20:58into the mouth of the perfectly lival Jasper by Eladid.
00:21:02The moment the divine item entered his mouth,
00:21:05a blinding golden current erupted across Jasper's body.
00:21:09Not only did his wind attribute magic surge instantly,
00:21:12but his height even seemed to increase slightly.
00:21:15The three-year-old toddler excitedly brashed at his magic in the hall,
00:21:19while Ronan and Vanessa surrounded him,
00:21:21letting out waves of absolute delight.
00:21:24The happier their laughter,
00:21:26the more shattered my heart became.
00:21:28Ronan looked down upon me as I lay limp on the ground,
00:21:31his cold words cutting like blades.
00:21:34Serafina,
00:21:35cease your weeping here.
00:21:37Jasper is the future hope of the kingdom.
00:21:40Giving this medicine to him ensures it is put to its proper use.
00:21:43As for Iris,
00:21:45it has been said,
00:21:47she merely has a common chill.
00:21:49It is not worth delaying proper business over her,
00:21:52and she certainly does not deserve a divine object like the sacred tree extract.
00:21:57Flicking his sleeves,
00:21:58Ronan turned and left heartlessly,
00:22:00taking the room's laughter with him.
00:22:02When they departed entirely,
00:22:05the tower plunged back into a deathly silence.
00:22:08I crawled to the bedside,
00:22:10looking at my empty hands,
00:22:12and then at my daughter,
00:22:13whose core was withering,
00:22:15as she spit out another mouthful of black blood
00:22:17from the poison gripping her heart.
00:22:19My daughter opened her eyes weakly,
00:22:21rubbing against my palm with a touch of attachment,
00:22:23before sinking entirely into a deathly coldness.
00:22:26Slowly raising my right hand,
00:22:28I spared no cost to force out the final drop of supreme golden...
00:22:33The supreme array faded into the air,
00:22:36and forcing my dying, battered body forward,
00:22:39I carried my daughter out of the withered tower.
00:22:41My daughter's fragile form barely clung to life.
00:22:45Without disturbing anyone,
00:22:46I walked step by step to the center of the territory,
00:22:50stopping before the tree of life.
00:22:52Then he I was won't be road of,
00:22:54to stand into the Yurumaya number stool.
00:22:57Swearing by the supreme bloodline,
00:22:59I sever the covenant,
00:23:01and erase my holy name here today.
00:23:07Inside the main manor,
00:23:09Ronan felt a sudden,
00:23:11violent spasm of pain strike his chest.
00:23:16Ronan,
00:23:17three years of marital devotion
00:23:19has been personally severed by your hand today.
00:23:21The trampling you granted me,
00:23:22I have accepted.
00:23:23From this day forward,
00:23:24we shall not meet again in life nor death.
00:23:27Serafina,
00:23:27what madness are you throwing now,
00:23:29over such a trivial matter,
00:23:30you would go so far as to harm your own body
00:23:32to forge a fortune backlash?
00:23:33I have no time to play these cat and mouse games with you.
00:23:36If you have the ability to leave,
00:23:38then ensure you never return!
00:23:41Serafina has simply been spoiled by you.
00:23:43In a couple of days,
00:23:45once she has suffered enough outside,
00:23:47she will naturally come back begging on her needs.
00:23:50Let us ignore her.
00:24:08That night,
00:24:09the entire main manor of the Wind Kingdom
00:24:12was brightly lit
00:24:14and adorned with festive decorations.
00:24:17To celebrate three-year-old Jasper,
00:24:20consuming the sacred tree extract
00:24:22and experiencing a surge in magic,
00:24:25Aline ordered an all-night festival
00:24:26of music and dance.
00:24:29Inside the magnificent main hall,
00:24:31the aroma of fine wine filled the air
00:24:33as countless high-tier elves
00:24:35raised their glasses in unison,
00:24:36surrounding Vanessa and her son at the center
00:24:38with absolute flattery and obdeciousness.
00:24:41Ronan sat upon his throne,
00:24:43looking at his triumphant eldest son,
00:24:46his eyes filled with pride and certainty
00:24:49that the kingdom was about to ascend
00:24:52to the peak of all kingdoms.
00:24:54The hypocritical and fanatical cheers
00:24:57echoed through the night sky,
00:24:59transforming the entire temple
00:25:01into a city that never slept.
00:25:04Yet no one noticed
00:25:05that on the desolate path
00:25:06at the outmost edge of the main city,
00:25:08leading towards the Forbidden Forest,
00:25:10a slender and resolute figure
00:25:12was carrying a sweatling cloth,
00:25:14stepping into the boundless curtain of night.
00:25:16The freezing rain slammed down merseusely.
00:25:18Serafina's face was deathly still,
00:25:20but her hands held the daughter in her head.
00:25:21The sacred light erupted outward
00:25:23at the center of the royal hall
00:25:24in the supreme sanctuary,
00:25:26holding my daughter,
00:25:27who had practically stopped breathing.
00:25:29I finally collapsed onto my knees
00:25:31against the flawless white jade floor tiles,
00:25:33my strength entirely spent.
00:25:35My long hair was soaked through
00:25:37by the torrishless rain sticking messily
00:25:38to my deathly pale cheeks.
00:25:39The weakness of postparting recovery,
00:25:41comboled with the trauma
00:25:41of forcibly reversing my source power,
00:25:43caused me to leave a striking trail of blood
00:25:45with every step.
00:25:46Sitting high upon his throne,
00:25:47my father rose abruptly.
00:25:49When he clearly saw my broken state
00:25:50at the bottom of the steps,
00:25:52his majestic noble face,
00:25:53which had 10,000 years of history,
00:25:55trembled violently with immense shock and heartache.
00:25:58Moving like a blur,
00:25:59he materialized by my side in an instant,
00:26:01his hands shaking
00:26:02as he tried to lift me up.
00:26:05My daughter!
00:26:06How did you become like this?
00:26:09Your supreme magic,
00:26:11which even 10,000 kingdoms look up to,
00:26:14why has it withered to such an extent?
00:26:18I slowly raised my head,
00:26:19the tears of blood at the corners of my eye
00:26:21long since dried.
00:26:22I did not cry out.
00:26:23I merely used the final shred of strength
00:26:25in my body to tremblingly present
00:26:26the swaddling cloth to my father.
00:26:28Father, save her.
00:26:30She is Ronin's biological flesh and blood,
00:26:32yet they dismissed her as a lowerly wretch.
00:26:34To steal her life-saving medicine,
00:26:36they fed my Iris forbidden illusion potions
00:26:38to forcibly mask the truth.
00:26:40She has been poisoned with soul-eating grass,
00:26:42and her magic core is on the verge of shattering.
00:26:45My father took the time to rescue Iris
00:26:47from the brink of death.
00:26:48My father did not hesitate for a moment,
00:26:51immediately ordering the opening
00:26:52of the life core of the ancient sacred tree
00:26:54that had lived for 100,000 years
00:26:56within the forbidden grounds.
00:26:57This was the energy source
00:26:59of the entire elfin world,
00:27:02a place where even the high priests
00:27:04of the sanctuary
00:27:04had no right to approach normally.
00:27:07Yet it was fully open today
00:27:09for my daughter.
00:27:10Every top holy tier healer
00:27:12within the sanctuary
00:27:13was assembled overnight.
00:27:20The golden life core floated gently above the sickbed,
00:27:22radiating a soft, vast, and ocean-like purity of magic.
00:27:25A canopy of brilliant golden light
00:27:27wrapped around Iris' tiny body layer by layer,
00:27:29like a coon nourished by this immense life force.
00:27:32The faint golden divine mark on Iris' forehead,
00:27:35which had been nearly cracked and extinguished,
00:27:38finally flickered with a weak resonance
00:27:40under the caress of the divine light.
00:27:42I kept watch by the bedside,
00:27:44my face pale,
00:27:46never leaving her side for a single pace.
00:27:48I watched with my own eyes
00:27:50as those holy gris healers
00:27:51transformed secret medicines into golden needles,
00:27:54extracting the stubborn soul-eating grease poison
00:27:56from my daughter's body,
00:27:57inch by inch.
00:27:59Every time that the poison was forced out,
00:28:01my daughter would let our faint,
00:28:03kitten-like whipper of pain,
00:28:04and those drops of black toxic blood
00:28:06would instantly corrode scorched hole
00:28:08into the pure white sheets upon hitting them.
00:28:10My daughter.
00:28:12The morning sun spilled across the luxurious couch
00:28:14when Vanessa was gently helping Ronan into his robes.
00:28:17However, Ronan's brow was furrowed tightly,
00:28:19his handsome face clouded with undeniable irritation and gloom.
00:28:23Right then, a panicked-starting bell rang out
00:28:24from outside the main temple.
00:28:26Several elders scrambled into the hall,
00:28:27their faces as white as sheets.
00:28:29Lord! Disaster has struck!
00:28:30The soldiers guarding the ascension platform
00:28:32just reported that our kingdom's passage to the sanctuary
00:28:35has been violently locked from above
00:28:37by an unspeakable supreme divine authority.
00:28:40The gates of the divine realm are closed to us.
00:28:44What did you say?
00:28:47The passage is locked.
00:28:50Who could possibly have such power?
00:28:53In that instant,
00:28:54the image of Serafina's cold, ruthless phantom
00:28:57before her departure flashed through his mind,
00:28:59and his heart sank.
00:29:00Could it be...
00:29:02Serafina?
00:29:03But the moment the thought arose,
00:29:05it was instantly crushed
00:29:06by the deep-rooted arrogance in his heart.
00:29:08He let out a cold, self-decricketing laugh.
00:29:11Serafina was nothing more than a lowly woman
00:29:13with no background,
00:29:14inferior even to a low-tier elf of the Windsuary
00:29:17that happened to affect their kingdom.
00:29:20Seeing his distress,
00:29:22Vanessa quickly moved closer,
00:29:24wrapping her arms around his to comfort him.
00:29:26However, the moment Ronan stepped into the Covenant Temple,
00:29:30the priest on duty collapsed to the floor in sheer terror,
00:29:33his face deathly pale.
00:29:34What are you panicking for?
00:29:35Bring out the Covenant Jade plaques
00:29:37for Serafina and the infant.
00:29:38I want to see where they are hiding and laughing at me!
00:29:41My lord, spare my life!
00:29:43They cannot be brought out!
00:29:45Just three days ago,
00:29:47the primary mistress covenant mark
00:29:48under the Tree of Life
00:29:49was forcibly erased!
00:29:52What did you say?
00:29:54Forcibly erased?
00:29:56Not only is it gone,
00:29:57but the mother and daughter
00:29:58used an ancient secret ritual
00:30:00to completely delete
00:30:01all their holy names from the elfin race.
00:30:03Half of the Tree of Life has withered.
00:30:05I used every tracking method available,
00:30:07but they are all untraceable.
00:30:09They have completely severed their bloodline
00:30:11and connection with the Wind Kingdom.
00:30:13Well played, Serafina!
00:30:15To resort to such a self-harming,
00:30:17despicable trick
00:30:18as deleting your holy name,
00:30:20do you think you can escape
00:30:21just by doing that?
00:30:22I want to see how many days
00:30:24you can last out there
00:30:25with your dying daughter
00:30:27without the protection
00:30:28of the Wind Kingdom.
00:30:31Watching her daughter sleep peacefully
00:30:33in the divine light
00:30:34of the sacred tree,
00:30:36Serafina slowly stood up.
00:30:37The mole the tender she turned
00:30:39to vanished from her eyes,
00:30:40replaced by a bottomless coldness
00:30:42and resolve.
00:30:43Father, I was too foolish in the past
00:30:45to repay a trivial mortal deed.
00:30:48I degraded myself
00:30:49to cater to a blind,
00:30:50cold-blooded mortal.
00:30:51In return,
00:30:52they trampled all over me
00:30:54and nearly caused
00:30:54my daughter's death!
00:30:55She raised her hand,
00:30:57slicing through the air
00:30:58like a blade.
00:30:59As an invisible emotional barrier
00:31:01shattered,
00:31:02the painful memories
00:31:03of her humiliation,
00:31:04Ronin's neglect,
00:31:05and Vanessa's framing
00:31:06in the Wind Kingdom
00:31:07were sealed deep
00:31:09within her heart.
00:31:10From this day forward,
00:31:11the lowly,
00:31:12submissive consort
00:31:13of the Wind Kingdom
00:31:13no longer exists
00:31:15to ensure we are never
00:31:16trampled on again
00:31:17and to control
00:31:17my daughter's destiny.
00:31:18I willingly accept
00:31:20the royal bloodline baptism.
00:31:22Looking at his daughter,
00:31:23whose gaze had become
00:31:23as sharp as a hawk,
00:31:24the high-elval king
00:31:25felt a surge of relief
00:31:26and pride.
00:31:27He immediately gave
00:31:28his stern approval.
00:31:29Half an hour later,
00:31:30the gates to the sanctuary's
00:31:31core forbidden ground
00:31:32swung open.
00:31:32This was the sacred
00:31:33training pool exclusive
00:31:34to the heirs of
00:31:35the supreme royal family.
00:31:36Filled with primeval
00:31:36Priadan magic
00:31:37accumulated over 10,000 years,
00:31:39and to an ordinary
00:31:40high elf would explode
00:31:41and die from touching
00:31:42even a single drop,
00:31:43and to enduring
00:31:43the agonizing pain
00:31:44of a complete bone-shattering
00:31:46transmission.
00:31:46Without any hesitation,
00:31:48under the Averstek gaze
00:31:49of 10,000 years,
00:31:50smash!
00:31:51Ronan shattered
00:31:52his communication array
00:31:53for the 12th time.
00:31:54Every time he tried
00:31:55to connect with Serafina
00:31:56through a soul transmission,
00:31:58he was met with
00:31:59nothing but a cold,
00:32:00empty echo,
00:32:00and the piercing pain
00:32:01of magical backlash.
00:32:03His frustration
00:32:04reached its peep
00:32:05as a suffocating panic
00:32:06of losing control
00:32:07gripped his throat.
00:32:08Just then,
00:32:09the hall doors
00:32:10pushed open,
00:32:11and Vanessa walked in
00:32:12smiling,
00:32:13holding three-year-old
00:32:14jaspered by the hand.
00:32:15Roman, look!
00:32:17After taking
00:32:17the sacred tree extract today,
00:32:20Jasper can already
00:32:20control two
00:32:21high-tier windblades!
00:32:24He truly is
00:32:25your eldest son.
00:32:27Ronan turned
00:32:28his irritated gaze
00:32:29onto Jasper,
00:32:30who was shouting
00:32:30and playing with a toy.
00:32:32But as he looked,
00:32:33his breath caught.
00:32:34Whether it was due
00:32:35to the sudden loss
00:32:35of his kingdom's fortune,
00:32:37looking at Jasper's
00:32:38arrogant and brash face
00:32:39felt unprecedentedly discordal.
00:32:41The child's features
00:32:42lacked even a trace
00:32:43of the Wind Kingdom
00:32:44royal family's elegance,
00:32:45showing instead
00:32:46a crude vulgarity.
00:32:47What terrified him most
00:32:49was that the wind-attributed
00:32:50magicic radiating
00:32:51from Jasper
00:32:51was crose and wild,
00:32:53sharing absolutely
00:32:54no bloodline resonance,
00:32:55with the pure,
00:32:56biting royal bloodline
00:32:57in his own body.
00:32:58When Vanessa gave birth
00:33:00to the child
00:33:00outside years ago,
00:33:02crying that she had been
00:33:03hunted by enemies
00:33:04and forced to wander,
00:33:06Ronan pitied her
00:33:07and never questioned
00:33:08the bloodline.
00:33:09But now...
00:33:13Ronan,
00:33:14why are you looking
00:33:15at Jasper like that?
00:33:18Did he do something wrong?
00:33:19Rokan stared dead
00:33:20at the flash of panic
00:33:21in Vanessa's eyes.
00:33:22His hands clenched
00:33:23tightly beneath his robes
00:33:24as something sh-
00:33:25Meanwhile,
00:33:26in the sanctuary,
00:33:26around the forbidden
00:33:27sacred pool grounds,
00:33:2810,000 pure-blood
00:33:29high-elven generals,
00:33:30high-priests,
00:33:31and gradually cards
00:33:32of the Divine King
00:33:32knelt across the mountains.
00:33:34Everyone held their breath,
00:33:35looking up at the gradually
00:33:36calming sacred pool
00:33:37in awe.
00:33:37Suddenly,
00:33:38faint golden ripple
00:33:39carrying supreme authority
00:33:40spread from the center
00:33:41of the pool.
00:33:41A graceful,
00:33:42noble figure
00:33:43slowly rose
00:33:44from the center
00:33:44of the water.
00:33:45Serafina's postpartum
00:33:46weakness and plast
00:33:47were entirely gone.
00:33:48Her skin shone
00:33:49like flawless white jade,
00:33:50flowing with a sacred light,
00:33:52and her once-withered
00:33:53long hair
00:33:53turned into a dazzling
00:33:54golden color,
00:33:55skating down to her ankles.
00:33:57Under the baptism
00:33:57of the ancient
00:33:58presided energy,
00:33:59her appearance and magic
00:34:00were completely restored,
00:34:02far surpassing
00:34:02her past peak.
00:34:03The moment her feet
00:34:04left the water
00:34:05and she hovered
00:34:06in mid-air,
00:34:06the space behind
00:34:07her tore violently.
00:34:09Boom!
00:34:09Accompanied by a divine
00:34:10phoenix cry
00:34:11that echoed
00:34:11through the heavens,
00:34:12a pair of dazzling
00:34:13supreme natural wings
00:34:14radiating boundless
00:34:15life and destruction
00:34:16unfurled behind her back.
00:34:17The divine wings
00:34:18were massive,
00:34:19each feather
00:34:19condundated from the
00:34:20purest golden light
00:34:21of natural law.
00:34:22With a slight flutter,
00:34:23a terrifying pressure
00:34:24swept past like a tsunami.
00:34:25Unable to withstand
00:34:26the bloodline pressure
00:34:27from the depths
00:34:28of their souls,
00:34:29the ten thousand
00:34:30pure-blooded elves
00:34:31slammed their foreheads
00:34:32against the ground,
00:34:33as the sacred roof
00:34:34and echoed in harmony.
00:34:36We welcome
00:34:36Her Majesty's
00:34:37ascension to the throne!
00:34:41May your majesty's
00:34:42divine power
00:34:42go forever
00:34:43and may your life
00:34:44back to heaven!
00:34:46Since Seraphina's
00:34:47departure,
00:34:48Vanessa carried
00:34:48herself completely
00:34:49as the new mistress
00:34:50of the Wind Kingdom.
00:34:51Without the restraint
00:34:52of the legitimate
00:34:53primary mistress,
00:34:54she tore off
00:34:54her past gentle disguise.
00:34:56The first thing
00:34:56she did upon moving
00:34:57is replace all the decorations
00:34:58with the most luxurious
00:35:00gold silks.
00:35:01She lived extravagantly
00:35:02and wastefully,
00:35:03bathing in the rarest
00:35:04floral dew daily,
00:35:05and even forcibly
00:35:06withalding nearly half
00:35:07of the lower-tier
00:35:08elf's winter ravens
00:35:09just to fashion
00:35:09a sweeping dress
00:35:10embedded with
00:35:11deep-sea magic krills.
00:35:12Furthermore,
00:35:13Vanessa was arrogant
00:35:13and harsh
00:35:14to the point of cruelty
00:35:15toward the servants
00:35:16and lower-class elves
00:35:16of the kingdom.
00:35:18Mistress,
00:35:18this is the silver needle
00:35:19tea you requested.
00:35:20The temperature
00:35:21is just right.
00:35:22It's...
00:35:22Scalding,
00:35:23you useless wretch!
00:35:24Are you trying
00:35:25to ruin my face
00:35:25on purpose?
00:35:26Someone,
00:35:27strip her of her
00:35:28elfin badge
00:35:28and banish her entire
00:35:29family to hard labor
00:35:30at the Wither Tower!
00:35:32Panic gripped
00:35:33the main manor
00:35:33and the lower-tier elves
00:35:35filled the air
00:35:35with grievances.
00:35:36Sitting in his study,
00:35:37Ronan listened
00:35:38to the constant shouting,
00:35:39face-slapping
00:35:39and crying from outside,
00:35:41his temples throbbing.
00:35:42Looking at the ledger
00:35:42submitted by the
00:35:43Council of Elders,
00:35:44which detailed
00:35:45Vanessa's waste
00:35:46of tens of thousands
00:35:47of magic crystals
00:35:47over the past few days,
00:35:48his face turned grim.
00:35:50In the past,
00:35:50when Serafina managed
00:35:51the household,
00:35:52the entire Wind Kingdom
00:35:53was orderly.
00:35:53She was always gentle,
00:35:55understanding and proper,
00:35:56choosing to live frugally
00:35:57rather than misappropriate
00:35:58a single penny
00:35:59from the kingdom.
00:35:59Even using her own source Morna
00:36:01to nourish injured
00:36:02low-tier soldiers,
00:36:03Roman instinctively
00:36:04touched the empty space
00:36:05beside his throne,
00:36:06an unprecedented emptiness
00:36:07and regret
00:36:08washing over him
00:36:08like a tidal wave.
00:36:10He began to desperately
00:36:11miss the woman
00:36:12who had always quietly
00:36:12waited for him.
00:36:14But now,
00:36:14no matter how much
00:36:15he searched
00:36:16the Wind Kingdom's territory,
00:36:17he could no longer
00:36:18find a single trace
00:36:19of Serafina.
00:36:20Yet, Ronan had no idea
00:36:21that while he was drowning
00:36:22in endless regret and agony,
00:36:23a dim storal lamp
00:36:24was burning in the most
00:36:25secluded subterranean
00:36:26chamber of the main manor.
00:36:27Dressed in her luxurious gown,
00:36:28Vanessa showed none
00:36:29of her usual arrogance,
00:36:30slumping limply
00:36:31into the embrace
00:36:31of her old lover Oswin,
00:36:33the chief captain of the guards.
00:36:34Oswin's rough,
00:36:35calloused hands
00:36:36gripped her slender waist tightly
00:36:37as their breaths mingled
00:36:38in a display of immacity
00:36:39and wanton behavior.
00:36:40That suspicious
00:36:41Rhett Ronan
00:36:42stared at Jasper
00:36:43for a long time today.
00:36:44Could he have
00:36:45discovered something?
00:36:46My darling,
00:36:47with me here,
00:36:48what are you afraid of?
00:36:49Even if his suspicions
00:36:51lead him to test
00:36:51the bloodline,
00:36:52he will never find a problem.
00:36:53Don't forget,
00:36:54when he sent me
00:36:55to draw our son's blood,
00:36:56I swapped it with my own.
00:36:58That broken appraisal
00:36:59Askel of his
00:37:00will only show
00:37:00an absolute blood relative.
00:37:02Oswin pulled Vanessa closer,
00:37:04tilting her chin up proudly.
00:37:06If Ronan hadn't been
00:37:06heavily injured
00:37:07and unconscious
00:37:08during the war
00:37:08three years ago,
00:37:10allowing you
00:37:10to slip into my bed
00:37:12amid the chaos,
00:37:13how else would he have
00:37:14become this cheap father
00:37:16and felt guilty enough
00:37:17to search for you
00:37:18for three whole years?
00:37:19Vanessa's beautiful eyes
00:37:21flashed with a venomous light
00:37:22as she laughed
00:37:23and pinched the man
00:37:24who told Ronan
00:37:25to pride himself
00:37:25on being deeply affectionate
00:37:27when he is actually
00:37:28a fool who is easily
00:37:29The inner frustration
00:37:30and the mysterious loss
00:37:31of his kingdom's fortune
00:37:32drove him near madness.
00:37:34His mind troubled.
00:37:35He walked aimlessly
00:37:36through the streets
00:37:36of the main city
00:37:37and inadvertently stopped
00:37:39in front of the infirmary.
00:37:40Looking at the somewhat
00:37:41dilapidated doors,
00:37:42the image of Serafino
00:37:43weeping in absolute despair here
00:37:45suddenly flashed
00:37:46through his mind.
00:37:47I must be losing my mind
00:37:48to have walked
00:37:49all the way here.
00:37:49Just as he turned to leave,
00:37:51a stealthy figure
00:37:51carrying a bundle
00:37:52prepared to flee
00:37:53from inside the infirmary.
00:37:54It was the doctor
00:37:55from before.
00:37:55Ever since Serafina
00:37:56Umister erased
00:37:57her holy name
00:37:57and left,
00:37:58causing half of the tree
00:37:58of life to wither,
00:37:59this doctor had been
00:38:00tormented night and day
00:38:01by guilt and fear,
00:38:02finally breaking down
00:38:03and preparing
00:38:03to escape overnight.
00:38:04Ronan's eyes turned sharp.
00:38:06Moving like lightning,
00:38:07he materialized
00:38:07before the doctor,
00:38:08blocking his path.
00:38:09Where do you think
00:38:10you are running?
00:38:12What are you panicking
00:38:13for upon seeing me?
00:38:14Looking at Ronan's
00:38:15rage-distorted face
00:38:16and thinking of the rampant
00:38:17rumors about the primary
00:38:18mistress' disappearance
00:38:18and the sacred
00:38:19tree's withering,
00:38:20the doctor's psychological
00:38:20defense collapsed completely
00:38:21with even needing
00:38:22to use a soul-searching
00:38:23technique.
00:38:24He fell to his knees
00:38:24in terror,
00:38:25now coating frantically
00:38:26as tears and muses
00:38:26strem down his face.
00:38:27Lord, spare my life!
00:38:29I deserve to die!
00:38:30I dare not hide it
00:38:30any longer!
00:38:31The primary mistress
00:38:32did not lie!
00:38:33She was not throwing
00:38:33a tamper fighting
00:38:34for effect!
00:38:35Ronan's heart skipped a beat,
00:38:36a profound sense
00:38:37of foreboding
00:38:38enveloping his entire body.
00:38:39Make yourself clear!
00:38:41What do you mean
00:38:42she didn't lie?
00:38:42It was your daughter.
00:38:44Your daughter Iris
00:38:45didn't catch
00:38:45an ordinary chill at all!
00:38:47She was poisoned
00:38:48with the highly insidious
00:38:49soul-eating grass
00:38:50and her core
00:38:50had already begun
00:38:51to wither!
00:38:52Boom!
00:38:52The doctor's words
00:38:53exploded in Ronan's ears
00:38:54like a thunder mist
00:38:54leaving his pail
00:38:55and make him sway
00:38:56on his feet.
00:39:17Ronan grabbed the terrified
00:39:18fleeing doctor
00:39:19by the collar,
00:39:20his eyes bloodshot
00:39:21like a cornered beast.
00:39:23Impossible!
00:39:24I checked her myself
00:39:25that day!
00:39:26Her breathing was steady
00:39:27and her temperature
00:39:28was normal!
00:39:29Even you personally
00:39:30diagnosed it
00:39:30as a common chill!
00:39:32How dabricate
00:39:33a poisoning story
00:39:34to me now!
00:39:36It was all fake!
00:39:38Madame Vanessa
00:39:39forced me to do it!
00:39:41It was her!
00:39:42She fed the little princess
00:39:43a forbidden illusion potion
00:39:44before you arrived!
00:39:46Forcibly creating
00:39:47a false appearance
00:39:49of health!
00:39:49The doctor's words
00:39:51cut like knives
00:39:53tearing Ronan's
00:39:54self-rightless
00:39:55arrogance to pieces.
00:39:56Madame Vanessa
00:39:57bribed me
00:39:58and threatened
00:39:59my family's lives
00:39:59to maintain the illusion
00:40:00all to make you believe
00:40:02the primary mistress
00:40:02was just throwing
00:40:03a jealous fit
00:40:04so you would ignore
00:40:05the mother and daughter
00:40:06leaving the little princess
00:40:07to die from the poison!
00:40:09And...
00:40:09And that flask
00:40:10of sacred tree extract.
00:40:12Hearing the word
00:40:12sacred tree extract
00:40:13Ronan's body
00:40:14shook violently
00:40:15his face
00:40:16draining of all color.
00:40:17That spiritual medicine
00:40:18was given to the primary mistress
00:40:20out of my sudden
00:40:20flash of consciousness.
00:40:21It was not only
00:40:22an antidote to all poisons
00:40:23but the sole hope
00:40:24to save the little princess's life!
00:40:26Yet you...
00:40:26You detested the primary mistress
00:40:28and forcibly
00:40:29snatched that medicine away
00:40:30to secure the position
00:40:31of the perfectly healthy Jasper!
00:40:33Roman felt as if
00:40:34he'd been struck by lightning
00:40:36all strength
00:40:37instantly draining
00:40:37from his body.
00:40:39Boundless darkness
00:40:39and immense regret
00:40:40swallowed him
00:40:41like a tsunami.
00:40:42He finally realized
00:40:43that Serafina
00:40:44had been telling
00:40:44the truth all along.
00:40:46It was him.
00:40:47He.
00:40:47The father
00:40:48blinded by favoritism
00:40:50and interest
00:40:50who had personally
00:40:52snatched away
00:40:52his daughter's
00:40:53life-saving strife.
00:40:55Serafina!
00:40:56Iris!
00:40:57What have I done?
00:40:59What on earth
00:40:59have I done?!
00:41:00Immense regret
00:41:01drove Ronan
00:41:02completely mad.
00:41:03Disregarding the blood
00:41:04on his lips
00:41:04he scrammed back
00:41:05to his feet
00:41:05and ran back
00:41:06to the main hall
00:41:07like a madman.
00:41:08At this moment
00:41:09he no longer cared
00:41:10about supreme cooperation
00:41:12or reaching the peak.
00:41:13He only wanted
00:41:14to find his wife
00:41:15and save his daughter's life.
00:41:18Search!
00:41:18Mobilize all forces
00:41:20of the Wind Kingdom!
00:41:21Search every inch of land
00:41:22and even if you have to
00:41:23hunt through the
00:41:24Forbidden Forest
00:41:25bring back the
00:41:26primary mistress
00:41:26and the princess!
00:41:28Go now!
00:41:32However one day passed
00:41:34then two days
00:41:35and for three whole days
00:41:37and nights
00:41:37the elite high elves
00:41:39brought back nothing
00:41:39but the desperate news
00:41:40of no trace found.
00:41:42Serafina seemed to have
00:41:43dissolved into the wind
00:41:44vanishing completely
00:41:45without a trace.
00:41:47Failing to find his wife
00:41:48Ronan's grief
00:41:49and self-blame
00:41:50gradually transformed
00:41:51into a towering
00:41:51Merlison test.
00:41:53He finally thought
00:41:53of the instigator
00:41:54Vanessa.
00:41:56Vanessa!
00:41:56You vicious wretch!
00:41:58I will tear you
00:41:59into ten thousand pieces!
00:42:01Gripping the great sword
00:42:02of the Wind God
00:42:02that symbolized
00:42:03his kingdom's power
00:42:04he strode toward
00:42:05Vanessa's bedchamber
00:42:06brimming with
00:42:07murderous intent.
00:42:09He wanted to settle
00:42:09the score with
00:42:10that evil woman
00:42:11and use the blood
00:42:12of Vanessa and her son
00:42:13to atone for his actions
00:42:14against his wife
00:42:15and daughter.
00:42:16However
00:42:16when he reached
00:42:18the chamber
00:42:18he found it
00:42:19completely empty.
00:42:21Unleashing his divine sense
00:42:22he followed a faint
00:42:24trace of magic
00:42:24straight into the desolate
00:42:26The moon was dark
00:42:27and the wind howled
00:42:28through the silence
00:42:28of the desolate forest
00:42:29behind the temple.
00:42:30Ronan concealed his presence
00:42:31moving step by step
00:42:32into the shadow
00:42:33of the ancient trees
00:42:34with his great sword
00:42:34but before he could
00:42:35see clearly
00:42:36faint whispers
00:42:37and strugglings
00:42:37came from the thicket
00:42:38falling clearly
00:42:39into his ears.
00:42:39Slow down
00:42:40if that fool Ronan
00:42:41finds out we are dead.
00:42:43What are you afraid of?
00:42:44He is completely
00:42:45distracted every day
00:42:45because of that wretch
00:42:46running around the world
00:42:47like a madman.
00:42:48How could he have time for us?
00:42:49I've already coordinated
00:42:50with Governor Gamma
00:42:51while he will strip
00:42:51the treasury
00:42:52of all magic crystals
00:42:53and public funds
00:42:54tonight and run!
00:42:54Boom!
00:42:55Ronan's mind went
00:42:55completely blank.
00:42:56He knew these voices
00:42:57all too well.
00:42:58One belonged to his
00:42:58chief captain of the guards
00:42:59Oswin and the other
00:43:00belonged to Vanessa
00:43:00White Moonlight first love
00:43:01he had cherished for three years.
00:43:03Ronan trembled violently
00:43:04staring dead at the
00:43:04disheveled man and woman
00:43:05entwiled behind the tree.
00:43:07Speaking of which
00:43:08Ronan really is an absolute fool.
00:43:10For the past three days
00:43:11he has been holding
00:43:11that fake bloodline report
00:43:12comforting himself
00:43:13that Jasper is his child
00:43:14completely unaware
00:43:15that the heir he raised
00:43:16with the kingdom's
00:43:17sacred medicine
00:43:17is actually your
00:43:18biological flesh and blood!
00:43:20The truth slapped
00:43:21Ronan across the face
00:43:22shattering his remaining
00:43:23self-respect and pride.
00:43:24It turned out he was
00:43:25not only the murderer
00:43:26who had personally pushed
00:43:27his biological daughter
00:43:28to her death
00:43:28but also the world's
00:43:29biggest fool
00:43:29who had raised a
00:43:30bastard child
00:43:30for a pair of adulterers
00:43:31for three years
00:43:32the kingdom was being
00:43:32eustarted.
00:43:49insolent fools
00:43:50you will pay for this!
00:44:09Unleashing and
00:44:10debunked
00:44:11I WILL KILL YOU!
00:44:12Oswin and Ronan
00:44:13have exhausted
00:44:13invite giant
00:44:14realized Zord
00:44:15off course
00:44:15due to a lax
00:44:16limit
00:44:16active magic.
00:44:17Though this strike
00:44:17his teeth
00:44:18he pulled Vanessa
00:44:18up and
00:44:19pringzled
00:44:19several poisonous
00:44:20smoke bombs.
00:44:21With a loud explosion
00:44:22a toxic mist
00:44:22filled the area.
00:44:24By the time the storm
00:44:24blew the mist away
00:44:25the disheveled couple
00:44:26had all fledged
00:44:27the wind forest
00:44:27using their familiarity
00:44:28with the de ground.
00:44:29As the cold wind blew
00:44:30he looked around
00:44:31at the empty surroundings
00:44:32appearing as though
00:44:33he had aged
00:44:33a hundred years.
00:44:34Ronan fell to his knees
00:44:35his fingers digging
00:44:37into the dirt
00:44:38as he wept desperately
00:44:40like a beaten dog
00:44:42in the dead of night.
00:45:17Meanwhile, inside the
00:45:18flawless radiant
00:45:19temple of life
00:45:20in the supreme sanctuary
00:45:21Iris had completely
00:45:22recovered.
00:45:23She was now
00:45:24dressed in garments
00:45:25woven from the rarest
00:45:26golden silk
00:45:26and sitting in a cradle
00:45:27carved from 10,000 year old
00:45:29moonwa jiggling
00:45:29and blowing bubbles
00:45:30the supreme divine mark
00:45:31on her forehead
00:45:32flowed with brilliant colors
00:45:33exuding an incredibly
00:45:35noble bloodline.
00:45:36Standing beside the cradle
00:45:37Serafina gently played
00:45:38with her daughter
00:45:39her eyes filled only
00:45:40with maternal love.
00:45:41As for the past
00:45:42humiliations and affection
00:45:44the high elfin king
00:45:45slowly walked over
00:45:46to his daughter
00:45:46looking at his reborn
00:45:47granddaughter with affection
00:45:48he then turned a serious
00:45:50gaze toward Serafina.
00:45:51My daughter
00:45:52I have already ordered
00:45:53a complete block out
00:45:54against all past
00:45:55complications
00:45:56with the wind kingdom.
00:45:57Now that your bloodline
00:45:59has fully awakened
00:46:00and the supreme natural
00:46:01wings have grown
00:46:02behind your back
00:46:03it is time for you
00:46:04to assume your
00:46:04rightful responsibilities.
00:46:06Serafina withdrawed
00:46:07her hand and turned
00:46:08to face her father
00:46:08her gaze calm
00:46:09and instaurative
00:46:10completely deblind
00:46:11of mortal weakness.
00:46:12Father I understand
00:46:13romantic attachments
00:46:14are nothing but
00:46:15a self-inflicted trap.
00:46:17Only supreme power
00:46:18can allow me
00:46:18to control my destiny
00:46:19and protect my iris
00:46:21for a lifetime of peace.
00:46:23The father laughed
00:46:24with relief
00:46:24and immediately announced
00:46:25Good!
00:46:26I have already issued
00:46:27a decree to all kingdoms
00:46:28that the sanctuary ceremony
00:46:30will begin shortly.
00:46:31You will officially
00:46:31inherit the throne
00:46:32and become the first
00:46:34high elfin queen
00:46:35of our supreme sanctuary
00:46:36in ten thousand years.
00:46:37Meanwhile
00:46:37the wind kingdom
00:46:38far at the edge
00:46:39of the continent
00:46:39had fallen into
00:46:40a perilous situation.
00:46:41Due to Vanessa
00:46:42and Oswin's betrayal
00:46:43and thief of the funds
00:46:44a fierce internal conflict
00:46:45erupted within the kingdom.
00:46:47Worse still
00:46:47because Serafina
00:46:48had erased her holy name
00:46:49and severed
00:46:50the tree of life withered
00:46:50causing the kingdom's
00:46:51overall magic
00:46:52to rapidly decline
00:46:53and their barrier to
00:46:54Romans sat on
00:46:54his broken throne
00:46:56emaciated and covered
00:46:57in stubble
00:46:57showing none of his
00:46:58past glory as a lord.
00:47:00Just then
00:47:01an old servant
00:47:01tremblingly presented
00:47:03a gathering order
00:47:04from the supreme sanctuary.
00:47:05My lord
00:47:06a divine oracle
00:47:07has arrived
00:47:08from the supreme sanctuary.
00:47:10The new supreme empress
00:47:11is about to ascend
00:47:12the throne
00:47:12and the coronation ceremony
00:47:13requires all kingdoms
00:47:14to pay homage.
00:47:15Does our kingdom
00:47:16attend?
00:47:17A final ember
00:47:18of fanatical hope
00:47:19erupted in Ronan's eyes.
00:47:23He had no heart
00:47:24to manage the kingdom's
00:47:25mundane affairs
00:47:26because he knew
00:47:27time was running out
00:47:28for the wind kingdom.
00:47:28Their only salvation
00:47:30lay in aligning
00:47:31with the supreme sanctuary.
00:47:40Tupian-1 gripped
00:47:41the order tightly
00:47:42as if catching
00:47:43a final saving straw.
00:47:57Little did he know
00:47:59the opportunity
00:48:00he was so desperate
00:48:01to grovel for
00:48:02belonged to the very wife
00:48:04he had personally
00:48:05pushed into the abyss.
00:48:17Before the sanctuary
00:48:18coronation ceremony
00:48:19the Finding walked
00:48:20to rest in the simplest
00:48:21ead at the
00:48:22secrescent edge
00:48:22of Shangguang-Tung's out.
00:48:24Itnate stood a loon
00:48:25on the noon
00:48:25and the other
00:48:25drathing below
00:48:26of Sugetis
00:48:26and Mar the day
00:48:27of Trun-Shempil
00:48:27of surging through
00:48:28above Fort Noread.
00:48:29Ronan's mins
00:48:29raced
00:48:30as if something
00:48:31canate was awakening
00:48:31within that divine light.
00:48:33Images of Seraphina
00:48:34began to flash
00:48:34uncontrollably
00:48:35through his mind.
00:48:36Her shyness
00:48:37when they first met.
00:48:39Her tenderness
00:48:40when healing
00:48:40his wounds
00:48:41and her cold
00:48:43resoluced gaze
00:48:45as she left
00:48:45the withered tower
00:48:46holding their daughter.
00:48:48Aloina walked up
00:48:49behind him
00:48:49wearing a cloak.
00:48:50Looking at her
00:48:51distracted son
00:48:52she let out
00:48:53a deep sigh.
00:48:54Roran stop
00:48:54thinking about it.
00:48:56Tomorrow is the critical
00:48:56day to meet
00:48:57the supreme empress.
00:48:58The survival
00:48:59of our wind kingdom
00:48:59relies entirely
00:49:00on this single action.
00:49:01You must not
00:49:02lose your composure.
00:49:03Rayon withdraw
00:49:03his gaze
00:49:04cripping his racing chest
00:49:05a bitter smile
00:49:06playing on his lips.
00:49:07Mother I was just
00:49:08thinking Raphina
00:49:08was still here
00:49:09with her pure bloodline
00:49:10would she also be happy
00:49:11for me seeing this
00:49:12grand sight of 10,000
00:49:13kingdoms paying homage
00:49:13tomorrow?
00:49:14Regrettably
00:49:14and no one could answer
00:49:16his belated affection
00:49:17and self-reflection.
00:50:07on the day of the ceremony,
00:50:08the supreme empress.
00:50:09the supreme sanctuary
00:50:09shone with magnificent golden light
00:50:11piercing the sky.
00:50:12The entire sacred mountain
00:50:13was to look invincible.
00:50:14Holy unicorns
00:50:15soared through the air
00:50:16as tribal leaders
00:50:17and ancient deities
00:50:17gathered to elders.
00:50:19Meanwhile,
00:50:19Riz Misli
00:50:19in the most remote corner
00:50:21at the outmost edge
00:50:21of the main hall,
00:50:22not even daring
00:50:23to raise their heads.
00:50:24As a sacred ancient bell
00:50:25echoed through the heavens,
00:50:26a grand and vast chant
00:50:27filled the world.
00:50:28Silence across all kingdoms!
00:50:30We welcome the ascension
00:50:31of her majesty,
00:50:32the high elven queen!
00:50:34A supreme throne
00:50:35radiating immense authority
00:50:37slowly rose
00:50:38from the center of the tree.
00:50:39Ronan and his mother Aleda
00:50:40pressed their heads
00:50:41firmly against
00:50:42the freezing floor tiles,
00:50:43their bodies trembling violently
00:50:44under the supreme bloodline pressure
00:50:45that descended from above.
00:50:47Near of a strange procession
00:50:48under the immense pressure,
00:50:49Ronan managed to raise his head
00:50:50with great difficulty,
00:50:51wanting to look upon
00:50:52the mysterious Antress
00:50:53who could save
00:50:53his kingdom's life.
00:50:54However,
00:50:55when his gaze pierced
00:50:57through the golden light
00:50:58and clearly saw the figure
00:51:00sitting upon the supreme throne,
00:51:02the massive natural wings
00:51:04unfurled behind her back
00:51:05and the daughter
00:51:06she held in her arms
00:51:07sucking her fing.
00:51:09Roman's pupils
00:51:10shrank violently
00:51:10in an instant
00:51:11as if struck by lightning,
00:51:13his breath catching
00:51:13completely in his throat.
00:51:15That face,
00:51:16that noble,
00:51:17cold and peerless
00:51:19high elven queen
00:51:19who ruled over
00:51:20the entire sanctuary
00:51:21was actually Seraphina!
00:51:30Seraphina!
00:51:31Ronan's startled cry
00:51:32shattered the silence
00:51:33of the temple.
00:51:34High Priestess Alonda
00:51:35looked up and recognized
00:51:36the beautiful empress
00:51:37radiating absolute authority
00:51:39from the altar.
00:51:39She misconnected.
00:51:40I was wrong!
00:51:41I truly know I was wrong!
00:51:42Please, the useless woman
00:51:43they had trampled
00:51:44in the withered tap.
00:51:45Two golden spears
00:51:46struck down
00:51:47with the force
00:51:47of natural law.
00:51:52She looked down upon him
00:51:53who lay like a dead dog
00:51:54at the bottom of the steps
00:51:55while Iris blew bubbles
00:51:56in her arms.
00:51:57There was no hatred
00:51:58in her eyes,
00:51:58only the disgust one would feel
00:52:00looking at an open sewer.
00:52:02Ronan, do you think
00:52:02you are worthy
00:52:03of speaking my holy name?
00:52:05Do you think
00:52:05you are worthy
00:52:06of calling my daughter's name?
00:52:07A golden beam of law
00:52:08became a massive hand
00:52:09of divine power
00:52:09and struck Fethi
00:52:10with Ronan
00:52:11across the face.
00:52:12Slap!
00:52:12Half of his facial bones
00:52:13shattergance.
00:52:14And this slap
00:52:15is for your blinded
00:52:16side of his face
00:52:16and him comb-scheming woman
00:52:17to true wife.
00:52:18Slap!
00:52:19The harder backhand
00:52:20twisted your utter lack
00:52:21of conscience
00:52:22for personally stealing
00:52:23your biological daughter's
00:52:24life-saving medicine.
00:52:25The leaders of the various kingdoms
00:52:27expressed their disdain
00:52:29and spit in disapproval.
00:52:31Clutching his swollen face,
00:52:33self-respect
00:52:34was publicly trampled
00:52:35before all kingdoms.
00:52:36His reputation
00:52:37was completely destroyed.
00:53:24Yes, I just jumped in.
00:53:25to be beaten!
00:53:26I am a beast!
00:53:28Cerami, as long as you vent
00:53:29your anger
00:53:29you can talk to me
00:53:30however you like.
00:53:30Just please let me rest
00:53:31our daughter kingdom!
00:53:32Ronan, once a proud general,
00:53:34now knelt in the dust.
00:53:35His pleas echoed,
00:53:36empty and desperate.
00:53:37Seeing an opportunity,
00:53:38Alita cast aside all dignity
00:53:40and began cobicating frantically.
00:53:41Your divine majesty
00:53:42for the sub the Wind Kingdom
00:53:43being of the royal family
00:53:44thousand years,
00:53:45please stay your hand
00:53:46and save our withering
00:53:46tree of life!
00:53:47Looking at the mother
00:53:48and icon who were still
00:53:49calculating for benefits
00:53:50even now,
00:53:51the mockery on Serafina's
00:53:52boobs deepened
00:53:53to the extreme.
00:53:54Save you?
00:53:55The Wind Kingdom
00:53:55only enjoyed its past glory
00:53:57because I nourished it
00:53:57with my supreme source power
00:53:59since you will reclaim
00:53:59everything I granted you.
00:54:00She slowly raised her hand,
00:54:02curving her fingers
00:54:02and made a grasping motion
00:54:04toward Ronan and Alashian
00:54:05from afar.
00:54:05In an instant,
00:54:06the ancient wind laws
00:54:07inside Ronan and Alina,
00:54:09which had been granted
00:54:09by the royal family,
00:54:11turned into strands
00:54:11of golden light
00:54:12and were violently stripped
00:54:13from their bones and souls.
00:54:15My magic!
00:54:17My cultivation!
00:54:22It was a stripping process
00:54:23more painful than death.
00:54:24Within moments,
00:54:25Ronan's cultivation plummeted
00:54:26from a high tea lord
00:54:27to something inferior
00:54:27even to an ordinary low-tier elf,
00:54:29turning him into a complete and vital.
00:54:30Pass down my divine
00:54:31in a soup cane
00:54:32from Tyus
00:54:32with Kirin of the Wardkind
00:54:33to point if his Lee age
00:54:34be reduced to sinful withered wood
00:54:35forbidden from ever
00:54:36entering the sanctuary.
00:54:37Someone,
00:54:37throw this disgusting pile
00:54:38of garbage out.
00:54:39A divine guard
00:54:40kicked Ronan hard
00:54:41in the abdomen,
00:54:42sending the two broken,
00:54:43stripped,
00:54:44and thoroughly disgraced
00:54:45wretcheds
00:54:46tumbling down
00:54:46the nine layers
00:54:47of the altar
00:54:48amid the laughter
00:54:49of all kingdoms.
00:55:00Internal conflict spread
00:55:01like wildfire
00:55:02through the Wind Kingdom
00:55:03and the anger
00:55:03of the lower-tier elves
00:55:04completely overthrew
00:55:05the main manor.
00:55:06Meanwhile,
00:55:06lying on a bed
00:55:07in a side paville,
00:55:08the old woman Elina
00:55:08trembled inside the empty room.
00:55:10She had previously
00:55:10been blinded by greed
00:55:11secrecy accepting
00:55:12mass amounts of illicit wealth
00:55:13from Vanessa, Oswin,
00:55:13and Gamma
00:55:14to secure their positions.
00:55:15Even the forceful snatching
00:55:16of Iris's sacred tree extract
00:55:17had been driven largely
00:55:18by her own greed now.
00:55:19Retribution had arrived.
00:55:21The kingdom was ruined,
00:55:22the treasures were lost,
00:55:23and even the eldest grandson,
00:55:24Jasper,
00:55:25whom she had cherished
00:55:25night and day
00:55:26as the future hope
00:55:27of the kingdom,
00:55:27was confirmed to be
00:55:28nothing to dirty bastard.
00:55:29The heavy and terrifying
00:55:30karmic backlack
00:55:31transformed into invisible bullets,
00:55:32cutting at her guilty soul
00:55:33night and day.
00:55:34The extreme fear
00:55:35and massive mental shock
00:55:36drove the normally arrogant
00:55:37and harsh old woman
00:55:38completely sane.
00:55:40That night,
00:55:41as the sounds of rioting
00:55:42echo outside,
00:55:43the old woman ended
00:55:44her guilty life
00:55:45with a white silk cord
00:55:46hanging from a beam
00:55:47in the cold,
00:55:48lonely main manor.
00:55:50The next morning,
00:55:52when Ronan pushed open
00:55:53the door
00:55:54and saw his mother's
00:55:55stiff body
00:55:56hanging in mid-air,
00:55:58he only let out
00:55:59a few horny,
00:56:00tragic laughs,
00:56:01unable to squeeze out
00:56:03even a single tear.
00:56:39Meanwhile,
00:56:40thousands of miles away
00:56:41from the wind kingdom
00:56:42at the frozen border,
00:56:43an incredibly luxurious
00:56:44sacred carriage
00:56:44was hurtling through the sky.
00:56:46The carriage compartment
00:56:46was stuffed with
00:56:47radiant, rare treasures.
00:56:48The entire foundation
00:56:49of the wind kingdom
00:56:50that Vanessa and
00:56:51Chief Cap Two Wolves
00:56:52shone only with
00:56:53absolute Oz greed
00:56:54for wealth.
00:56:54Vanessa!
00:56:55This chest of divine items
00:56:56belongs to me!
00:56:57Without my guard team
00:56:59coordinating,
00:56:59you wouldn't have even
00:57:00made it out the main
00:57:01gates of the manor.
00:57:02Nonsense!
00:57:03Without the Lord's
00:57:04talisman that I stole,
00:57:05what would you even be?
00:57:06These treasures
00:57:06are my reliance
00:57:07for the rest of my life!
00:57:08Don't you dare
00:57:08take a single penny!
00:57:09In the face of interest,
00:57:10their past familiarity
00:57:11vanished completely.
00:57:12Due to an unfair
00:57:13distribution of the spoils,
00:57:14malice erupted
00:57:14in both of them
00:57:15and they immediately engaged
00:57:16in a fierce magical brawl
00:57:18inside the narrow carriage.
00:57:19Wild windblades
00:57:20and toxic mist
00:57:21clashed violently
00:57:22inside the compartment,
00:57:23creating continuous
00:57:23loud explosions.
00:57:24As the out-of-control carriage
00:57:26traveled along
00:57:26a highly treacherous
00:57:27mountain path,
00:57:28the draft bears
00:57:29panicked
00:57:29and went wild!
00:57:33No!
00:57:34No!
00:57:37Damn!
00:57:39Damn it!
00:57:40Amid a piercing streak,
00:57:42the out-of-control carriage
00:57:43plunged off the cliff edge,
00:57:45carrying the couple
00:57:46and the treasures
00:57:46they had schemed
00:57:47so hard to steal,
00:57:48crashing heavily
00:57:49into the boulder-street
00:57:50bottom of the deep valley.
00:58:11Beneath the deep valley,
00:58:12the rain poured heavily,
00:58:13the carriage had shattered
00:58:14completely,
00:58:15with broken wood
00:58:16and magic crystals
00:58:17scattered across the ground.
00:58:18Amid the rubble,
00:58:19the bodies of Vanessa
00:58:20and Oshwick
00:58:20lay twisted together,
00:58:21torn apart by the wild magic
00:58:23to the point of being
00:58:23unrecognizable,
00:58:25dying an incredibly
00:58:25gruesome death.
00:58:27That green tea face
00:58:28that had once used
00:58:29illusion potions
00:58:30to maintain
00:58:31a false appearance
00:58:31of perfection
00:58:32was now sliced
00:58:33and bloodied
00:58:34by the rocks.
00:58:37Buzz.
00:58:38Space rippled slightly
00:58:39as several royal guards
00:58:40clad in pure gold robes
00:58:41quietly descended
00:58:42upon the crash site.
00:58:43Serafina did not even
00:58:44need to act personally,
00:58:45merely sending
00:58:46the sanctuary's cleanup group
00:58:47to wrap things up.
00:58:48This is the heavenly karma
00:58:49for those who betray
00:58:50her majesty.
00:58:51The guards raised their hands,
00:58:53golden lights surging
00:58:54from from their palms.
00:58:55As the magic arenas activated,
00:58:56the scattered ancient treasures
00:58:57and sacred resource
00:58:58of the Wind Kingdom
00:58:59were entirely gathered
00:59:00and reclaimed.
00:59:01These items carried
00:59:01a significant amount
00:59:02of fortune,
00:59:03and now that they were
00:59:03continuously funneled
00:59:05into the treasury
00:59:05of the Supreme always had,
00:59:06the villains had calculated
00:59:08everything,
00:59:09only to lose their lives
00:59:10in the end
00:59:11and turn the Wind Kingdom's
00:59:13thousands of years
00:59:14of accumulation
00:59:15into a stepping stone
00:59:16to secure
00:59:17Serafia's supreme royal power,
00:59:19which was ironic
00:59:20to the extreme.
00:59:40Having lost everything,
00:59:42he sank completely
00:59:43into boundless darkness.
00:59:44He had no mother,
00:59:45no kingdom,
00:59:45and no status
00:59:46to pride himself on.
00:59:47Whenever night fell
00:59:48across the empty ruins,
00:59:48he seemed to hear
00:59:49her gentle voices
00:59:50and another's painful cries
00:59:51from her swaddling clothes.
00:59:52Those memories transformed
00:59:53into the most brutal torture,
00:59:54tearing his mind apart
00:59:55bit by bit.
00:59:56Serafina,
00:59:57look,
00:59:57I brought the sweetest spring water
00:59:59for our daughter today.
01:00:00He began to exhibit
01:00:01severe split personality symptoms.
01:00:03At times,
01:00:03he would kneel on the ground
01:00:04and slap himself frantically,
01:00:06crying out that he shouldn't
01:00:07have snatched his daughter's
01:00:08life-saving medicine.
01:00:09At other times,
01:00:10he would embrace
01:00:10the empty air gently,
01:00:11pretending his wife
01:00:12and child were still
01:00:13by his side.
01:00:14Vanessa,
01:00:16you vicious red!
01:00:17Give me back my daughter!
01:00:19Give me back my happiness!
01:00:21He drowned his sorrows
01:00:22in alcohol all day,
01:00:23his mind becoming
01:00:24increasingly fractured
01:00:25as he remained trapped
01:00:26indefinitely
01:00:26within the endless regret
01:00:27he had personally fashioned.
01:00:43Thank you for the rest of the world.
01:01:12.
01:01:43Roman curled up in the corner of a freezing stone seat,
01:01:47his clothes tattered, his once proud spine broken by regret.
01:01:51His hands were blooded and his fingernails filled with mud
01:01:54from frantically digging through the rubble for garments Seraphana had left behind.
01:02:00Look at that.
01:02:02That's the wise lord who trampled his true wife for a green tea woman back then.
01:02:11He really is a pathetic dog.
01:02:14Ronian was completely deaf to these mocks,
01:02:16merely clutching a tattered cloth doll tightly to his chest,
01:02:19a toy he had fashioned for Iris from memory.
01:02:21Since his magic was entirely gone, his appearance was aging at a visible rate,
01:02:26his long hair turning into dry white strands.
01:02:28Whenever the harsh alcohol hit his throat, he would begin to self-harm.
01:02:32He used sharp stones to carve the name Seraphina deeply into his arms,
01:02:39drawing blood, yet it could not stop the splitting pain in his chest.
01:02:43Ha ha ha! Seraphina!
01:02:46This is retribution! This is my retribution!
01:02:50You let me live,
01:02:53only to find that every second of being alive is an absolute hell!
01:02:57The once high and mighty king had ultimately transformed into a mentally-degranged madman
01:03:03fighting with wild dogs for food in the ruins.
01:03:06Death would be a merciful release for him,
01:03:08and remaining conscious to endure this life sentence of regret was his ultimate punishment.
01:03:14As for Jasper, the three-year-old fake he who had been pampered by the entire kingdom,
01:03:18he was, after all, an innocent and ignorant child who did not understand the greed and sins of adults.
01:03:23With the deaths of Vener and Osquin, the vanity, privileges and flambrity that had once surrounded him vanished overnight.
01:03:29Once the truth of the royal bloodline array spread, he was no longer the high and mighty young master,
01:03:33and the silver of magic he had forced out by stealing iris sacred tree extract completely withered due to a
01:03:38lack of subsequent nourishment.
01:03:39The forged mark on his forehead disappeared, and he was reduced to a perfectly ordinary, mediocre child.
01:03:45Take him away. Let him become an ordinary farming child at the border.
01:03:51This ruin of the Wind Kingdom should not retain a bloodline of sin.
01:03:58Father, Mother, where did you go?
01:04:06Jasper will be good from now at once.
01:04:11He no longer had a luxurious golden cradle or a crowd of attendants surrounding him.
01:04:16He was sent to a remote village far from power struggles,
01:04:19becoming an ordinary orphan who knew nothing of his birth parents.
01:04:23Perhaps staying far away from the grievers here.
01:04:27The coronation ceremony lasted for seven days before finally came to a successful conclusion.
01:04:31Seraphina stood atop the highest altar of the Supreme Sanctuary,
01:04:34with past severing her ties, completely submission, weakness, and ridiculous mortal affection,
01:04:39to radiate in natural wings behind her back over all the world.
01:04:42And by her side, she held the hand of a beautiful, smiling young girl.
01:04:45Iris had completely recovered.
01:04:46Not only was the supreme bloodline within her body fully awakened,
01:04:49but her large eyes shone as brightly as a galaxy.
01:04:51Shaking her little head, she held Seraph onto the divine throne that symbolized the highest power of the Elfin world,
01:04:56amid the mountain-shattering worship of all living beings.
01:04:58Mother, it's so beautiful here. Will anyone dare to bully us from now on?
01:05:06Seraphina looked down, gently stroking the brilliant supreme golden mark on her forehead,
01:05:11her eyes filled with maternal resolve.
01:05:14No, my darling.
01:05:16From this day forward, Mother will protect you, and no one will ever be able to harm you in the
01:05:20slightest.
01:05:20Mother and daughter sat side by side upon the divine throne.
01:05:23Beneath their feet lay the vast, prospering territory of the Elven royal family.
01:05:26The Empress who had cast aside romantic attachments now stood alone in her divinity,
01:05:30ruling over the sanctuary and beginning a legendary era that belonged entirely to them.
