Short filmTranscript
00:00My sister Isolde and I bought two mermen at the underground magical creature auction in Black Reef Harbor.
00:05She picked the most robust elder brother, and pushed the younger one, whose tail fin was torn, and whose scales
00:10had almost peeled off, onto me.
00:12To save him, I gave my lifeblood for 49 consecutive days, ventured through all the forbidden depths of the ocean
00:18to find magical herbs,
00:19and helped him awaken his bloodline to become the legendary king of the deep sea mermen.
00:23Yet, even after we forged the soulmate contract, he remained cold and distant.
00:28I thought it was just his nature, until the day Isolde was seriously injured.
00:32He kicked open my door, and personally drained the last drop of lifeblood from my chest.
00:37His voice was as cold as the 10,000-year-old ice in the deep sea.
00:41If it hadn't been for you, she would have taken me with her back then. You tore us apart!
00:45When I opened my eyes again, I was back at that auction.
00:48The soulmate contract is a 200-year-old deep sea blood pact of the Blackwood family.
00:52200 years ago, on the brink of bankruptcy, the family signed a pact with the deep sea mermen tribe.
00:58Every generation of women must enter into a soulmate contract, with a merman, to inherit control over the transatlantic maritime
01:04trade, and magical talents.
01:06The stronger the merman, the higher the wealth and status of his mistress.
01:10The annual Deep Sea Gladiator Festival is held in the underwater arena of Black Reef Harbor.
01:15The winner is crowned king of the deep sea merman, rules all wild mermen, and brings endless wealth to his
01:20mistress.
01:21For the women of the Blackwood family, choosing the right merman is choosing a lifetime.
01:25So, at the auction, when Isolde forced me to take the tattered merman she had rejected, I knew full well
01:30that she wanted me to be trampled under her feet for the rest of my life.
01:33But in my previous life, I still chose him.
01:36His name was Kai, a lowly merman with a torn tail fin and almost no scales left.
01:41I gave my lifeblood for 49 days, just to save his life.
01:44And then risked my life traveling through the Forbidden Depths to collect magical herbs to awaken his bloodline.
01:50In the end, he became the king of the deep sea merman.
01:53But until the day Isolde was seriously injured, he kicked open my door.
01:58Kai, what are you doing?
02:01The pain almost made me pass out, but he pressed harder, letting my blood stain the sheets.
02:07Isoleth is dying.
02:24It was still the giant glass cage, glowing coldly under the kerosene lamps, filled with deep blue seawater.
02:30It was still the salty sea breeze, mixed with the smell of magical potions and money.
02:35I spotted Kai huddled in the corner of the rearmost cage at a glance.
02:39A merman's greatest pride is his tail.
02:41The tails of the other mermen shimmered like flowing silk, but Kai's tail had almost no scales left, exposing bloody
02:47flesh.
02:48He sold his finger, painted with bright red nail polish, pointed casually at the cage.
02:53Let's take these two mermens, okay?
02:55Hurry up and decide or the strongest ones will be taken by others.
02:59In my previous life, I had listened to her nonsense and agreed.
03:03Mermen were the most expensive and rarest items at the underground auction, and I had naively thought she wouldn't push
03:08the weakest one on me.
03:10But she did exactly that.
03:11For this, Lord Blackwood had thrown a huge fit.
03:14Father, this is what my sister chose herself!
03:17And just like that, Kai, who was half dead, ended up in my hands.
03:21In this life, I will never fall for her tricks again.
03:25You keep them both, sister.
03:27I want that one.
03:28I pointed to the expressionless merman in the corner and directly quoted the price.
03:31For me, it didn't matter who I chose.
03:35Leora, you're bidding too high!
03:37Father only gave us this much money!
03:40If you spend it all, what will I use?
03:43I looked at her coldly.
03:44How had I not noticed how good she was at acting in my previous life?
03:48So I pointed to Kai, who was twisting his body desperately in the cage to attract attention.
03:53That one looks pretty good too.
03:55Raise him well and he might be useful someday.
03:57If you really run out of money, just buy him.
04:00Him?
04:01I wouldn't even take him as a slave!
04:04I curled my lips into a mocking smile.
04:07Poor Kai.
04:08In his previous life, he had thought I had torn him and Isolde apart, but she had never even looked
04:12at him.
04:13Just like in my previous life, Isolde finally chose the strong merman named Tork.
04:18But as I was about to leave with my merman Atlas, Kai suddenly went mad and slammed into the water
04:23wall.
04:23Everyone around laughed at him.
04:26Yo, who is he trying to get the attention of?
04:29Look at the state he's in.
04:30He should know his place.
04:32Only a fool would buy him.
04:34Watching Kai spinning around in a panic and Isolde glancing back, I frowned slightly.
04:39Could it be Kai had been reborn too?
04:41Since I didn't take Kai home this time, I naturally didn't get scolded.
04:45Atlas stood in front of me, his tail slapping the floor rhythmically.
04:48Can you turn into a human form?
04:50Atlas pressed his lips together and obediently retracted his tail.
04:54There was no trace of joy at being bought on his face.
04:58You don't want to come home with me?
05:03Atlas glanced at me faintly and didn't answer.
05:05I walked up to him and looked him straight in the eye.
05:08As far as I know, the mermans locked in those cages are divided into ranks.
05:12If you're not bought, you'll have to fight for the rest of your lives and the losers will be beaten
05:16to dead.
05:17Come with me and I can keep you safe.
05:20I'm not that useless waste with the broken tail.
05:24I smiled.
05:25He was right.
05:26What else was someone beaten that badly but a waste?
05:28If you don't want to stay, you can leave now.
05:31A glint of light flashed in Atlas' blue eyes.
05:34He was tempted.
05:34Before he could stand up, I got to my feet first.
05:39Where are you going?
05:40Since you don't want to stay?
05:42Of course I'm going to pick another merman.
05:44I'm raising a future merman king, not someone with divided loyalties.
05:49The auction is already over.
05:51Families that can afford mermans will always find a way to buy more.
05:55For the next few days, I left before dawn every day and came back very late.
05:59Atlas hadn't left yet, but I had to prepare a way out for myself.
06:03Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped onto the street that day,
06:06Kai stumbled over and threw himself at my legs, hugging them tightly.
06:19My heart skipped a beat.
06:23What did you say?
06:26Lyra, look at me.
06:27Do you really not want me anymore?
06:29Kai had indeed been reborn too.
06:30But the first thing he did after being reborn was not to go to his beloved Isolde.
06:34I kicked him away with a blank expression on my face.
06:37What are you talking about?
06:38Who is your master?
06:40Don't pestle me here.
06:42I turned to leave, but Kai chased after me again.
06:45Just as I was about to lose my temper, I saw Atlas following me not far behind.
06:49I squatted down and gave Kai a gentle smile.
06:53Your tail is hurt so badly.
06:55Did the other mermans bully you?
06:56Kai froze for a moment, then nodded desperately.
06:59Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Atlas approaching.
07:01I stroked Kai's tail gently, just as I had done in my previous life.
07:06After living together day and night in my previous life, I had healed every wound on his body.
07:11So when my hand touched his tail, Kai shivered with pleasure and kept nuzzling into my arms.
07:15Master, please take me home.
07:18Of course.
07:20Before I could finish my sentence, Atlas suddenly rushed forward, wrapped his tail around Kai,
07:25and threw him five meters away.
07:26He stood in front of me with a dark face.
07:29I haven't left yet!
07:31Kai struggled several times after being thrown, but couldn't get up.
07:34I deliberately looked at Atlas in surprise.
07:36Why did you hit him so hard?
07:38Didn't you say you were leaving?
07:40Why are you stopping me from finding another merman?
07:44I'm not leaving!
07:45I raised the corners of my lips in satisfaction.
07:47Since he had taken this step, I would of course accept his sincerity.
07:50As for Kai, he struggled to his feet and came over again.
07:53Master, you just said you'd take me home.
07:56Sorry, I changed my mind.
08:01Kai tried to step forward again, but Atlas' tail slammed down on the ground at his feet.
08:05Take one more step, and I'll break every bone in your body.
08:09Looking at the cracks in the ground, I nodded in satisfaction.
08:13Atlas was indeed much stronger than Kai.
08:15To prevent being betrayed again, I forced Atlas to complete the soulmate contract ceremony.
08:20Can you really make me the merman king?
08:22I didn't answer.
08:23In my previous life, I had devoted myself to raising Kai into the merman king, but I had
08:28forgotten that the one who should be strong was myself.
08:30If Atlas performed well, the position of merman king would be his.
08:34If he had ulterior motives, he would only be my tool for the rest of his life.
08:38If you don't want to, you can leave now.
08:41I turned to walk away, but before I could take a step out of the door, Atlas sliced open his
08:46own tail.
08:48I do.
08:51From now on, I'm yours.
08:57Get on the bed.
08:59Atlas' face turned even redder.
09:01He moved to the edge of the bed and sat down, deliberately letting his bleeding tail hang over the floor.
09:06What are you doing?
09:08Looking at his flushed face, I almost laughed out loud.
09:11I deliberately reached out and touched his tail.
09:13You should know that forging a soulmate contract means he becomes my husband.
09:18Technically, you're my husband now.
09:20Atlas didn't say anything, but his tail trembled slightly where I touched it.
09:23Our eyes met, and he suddenly closed his eyes as if resigning himself to fate.
09:27I chuckled softly, turned around, and took out the hemostatic medicine.
09:31I blew gently on his closed wound.
09:33Does it hurt?
09:35His tail swayed uncontrollably from side to side.
09:38It was the instinctive reaction of a merman feeling pleasure.
09:41Don't get it wet for the next few days.
09:43It'll be fine in two days.
09:45Does it still hurt now?
09:46You wrapped it so ugly.
09:48It doesn't match my tail at all.
09:51Hmm.
09:51Then why was his tail wagging?
09:53After Atlas' tail healed, we started training every day.
09:56Unlike in my previous life, I joined in the training this time.
10:00His strength was far beyond my imagination.
10:01One slap of his tail could crack a stone slab, and he could crush a rock with one hand.
10:06I, on the other hand, started with the most basic physical training.
10:09Training like this, you won't make any progress, even by next year.
10:15Then teach me.
10:17Teach you what?
10:18Human bodies are too fragile.
10:21I'm afraid I'll shatter you with one flick of my tail.
10:24Then try.
10:25He looked at me for a moment, then suddenly smiled and really flipped his tail at me.
10:31You!
10:32I was already going slow.
10:34You're just slow to react.
10:36Blame me.
10:37From that day on, training became something we did together.
10:40He taught me to sense the magic in the water and see through a merman's attack moves.
10:44I improved quickly.
10:45And every time we stared at each other for more than three seconds, he would look away.
10:49We hadn't been training long when Isolde came with Torque.
10:51Look at you, sister, all worn out from training.
10:53You took so long picking at the auction.
10:55I thought you'd chosen someone really impressive.
10:58Turns out he's not even half as strong as my Torque.
11:00I stopped what I was doing.
11:02I didn't say anything.
11:03But Atlas had already stepped in front of me.
11:10How dare a contracted creature talk back to me?
11:14I'm the first heir to this family.
11:17Everything here will be mine one day.
11:19Torque, teach him a lesson.
11:20Torque lunged forward.
11:21Atlas calmly pushed me to a safe place first, then met the attack.
11:25In just a few rounds, Torque was clearly at a disadvantage.
11:29Kill him!
11:30Kill him!
11:31Don't hold back!
11:32I'll take responsibility if he dies!
11:35Torque didn't react much.
11:36But Atlas's attacks became more and more vicious.
11:39Just as Atlas was about to break Torque's tail...
11:42How dare you!
11:43Lyra, this is the thing you raised?
11:45He actually dares to hurt my man!
11:48Sister, weren't you the one who told Torque to attack first?
11:51You even gelled for him to kill Atlas.
11:54Atlus.
11:55All the servants can testify to that.
11:56I'll always be your older sister, and this family will never be yours to run!
12:06I should have killed him just now.
12:09What's the rush?
12:11Isolde would hate me even more after this loss.
12:13Isolde started targeting me everywhere.
12:15I thought she would badmouth me to Lord Blackwood, but I never expected her to bring Kai home and make
12:19him a servant.
12:46Isolde looked triumphant and lifted Kai's chin with her toe.
12:51He's been asking everyone to get him into this house to be near you.
12:54If you'd said you had a relationship with him earlier, you could have just bought him at the auction.
12:59Why bother buying Atlas?
13:00Lyra, if you can't clean this up properly, get out of this house!
13:07You're really something, sister. Take your time dealing with this.
13:11Kai knelt on the ground, looking up at me with longing in his eyes.
13:14If you want to stay by my sword badly, then stay.
13:17Kai started hovering around me all day.
13:20Atlas, on the other hand, had been ignoring me again lately.
13:23That day, I cornered him in the back garden, and he turned away with a dark face.
13:27Why are you looking for me? Shouldn't you be with that poor Kai right now?
13:31So that day on the street was just an act to trick me into signing the contract?
13:35The contract is already signed. Can you run away now?
13:39What, don't you want to be the Merman King anymore?
13:44Atlas glanced at me dejectedly.
13:46The Deep Sea Gladiator Festival is in two months.
13:50Whether you become the Merman King or not depends on your own performance.
13:55Really? You and Kai really have nothing going on?
13:57I almost swore an oath.
13:58Only then did he huff softly and obediently follow me back to training.
14:02We were sweating profusely in the back garden, and Kai would pretend to pass by and peek every now and
14:06then.
14:07I'll go break his tail so he can't walk anymore!
14:09Atlas! I have my own plans.
14:13That night, I called Kai to my room to wait on me.
14:16The former Merman King was now kneeling at my feet, holding my footbasin.
14:20His wounds hadn't healed yet, and he swayed weakly.
14:23Your health is still so poor.
14:25Kai collapsed weakly on the floor.
14:27My tail was already broken at the auction, and it never healed.
14:31Seeing that I didn't react, he coughed twice more.
14:34I know. I'm useless.
14:35I just want to stay by your side for the rest of my life. I don't dare ask for your
14:39lifeblood.
14:40Why do you have to stay by my side?
14:42Kai pressed his lips together and looked at me, as if trying to figure out if I was pretending to
14:47be stupid.
14:48It seems you really don't remember, Lyra.
14:49Lyra, you saved me once. Mermyns always repay their kindness, which is why I want to stay by your side.
14:55Even if you're with Atlas, as long as I can see you safe, I'll die without...
15:00If you drink lifeblood for 49 days, you'll get better?
15:04Kai's eyes lit up instantly.
15:08Yes, but Lyra, taking lifeblood will be very painful.
15:11I can save you. But after you get better, you must stop pestering me.
15:16Okay, I won't pester you anymore.
15:20The moment he lowered his head, I smiled too.
15:23Every day after that, I sent Atlas to the street to buy fresh sea beast blood.
15:27Mixed with water and magical herbs, it tasted almost exactly like lifeblood.
15:31These herbs would make him look like he was recovering well, but in reality, they would slowly destroy his body.
15:36Kai drank bowl after bowl, frowning every time.
15:39Lyra, why does this lifeblood taste a little strange?
15:44Blood never smells good. I have to cut open my chest every day to save you.
15:50If you think it tastes bad, then I'll pour it out!
15:55Lyra, I'll never forget your great knights.
15:57If only I had signed the contract with you, I can stay by your save and a pin you open...
16:01I listened while watching him out of the corner of my eye.
16:03When I mentioned Isolda, there was no trace of love in his eyes, only hatred.
16:08Sai, it's not your fault.
16:10Sister has never liked me.
16:11She just wanted to use you to embarrass me.
16:14Kai's hand on the table clenched unconsciously.
16:16I knew I had guessed right.
16:17Don't worry, Lyra.
16:19I won't be a burden to you.
16:21That would be best.
16:22Recently, Kai rarely hovered around me and instead started running to Isolda's yard more often.
16:27I knew he had taken what I said to heart.
16:29One evening, I followed him quietly and saw him slip into Isolda's yard.
16:33Through the window, I heard him whisper.
16:35Miss Isolta, hasn't Lord Tork's diet been a little monoconous lately?
16:40What do you mean?
16:41I'm just a servant.
16:43What could I mean?
16:44I just happen to know that some deep sea plants can make a tail more beautiful.
16:49Of course, they can also have the opposite effect.
16:51It all depends on how you use...
16:53I smiled silently in the dark.
16:54It was indeed Kai.
16:55All the tricks he had learned by my side in his previous life were now being used against Isolda.
17:00He probably thought he was very clever.
17:01But this was exactly what I wanted.
17:04To keep Kai from suspecting anything, Atlas and I have been training in my room at night lately.
17:08Faster.
17:09The Mermons in the arena fight to kill.
17:11If your speed isn't up to par, you might walk in and be carried out.
17:14I'll spar with you.
17:16Atlas laughed, clearly looking down on me.
17:18Come here now!
17:21How did you...
17:26Before I could finish, he launched another attack.
17:28I barely dodged two blows, then lost my balance and fell backward.
17:32Atlas gasped and reached out to catch my waist.
17:34I suspected he had done it on purpose.
17:36On purpose.
17:37To fall onto the bed with me.
17:39When he pinned me down, my heart started racing uncontrollably.
17:45Atlas, get up!
17:46It's late, you should go back.
17:51Why can Kai come at night but I can't?
17:54He had found out about Kai coming every night to drink the Seabeast blood.
17:57Kai has business.
18:00Atlas refused to move off me, his breath growing hotter against my neck.
18:07Master, you said that after we signed the contract, I'm your husband.
18:12I babbled out some answers, only thinking, how does this damn merman have so much stamina?
18:17A month later, Isolde's merman, Tork, his tail suddenly broke off.
18:21When the news came, I was doing physical training with Atlas in the back garden.
18:24A servant stumbled over, his face pale.
18:27Miss Leora, something terrible has happened, Lord Tork, his tail.
18:30I put down my sword and followed the servant to Isolde's yard.
18:33The screams grew louder as we got closer.
18:36How are you gonna compete in the Deep Sea Gladiator Festival without a tail?
18:39Are you even a merman anymore?
18:41Tork lay on the bed, his face as white as a sheet.
18:44Isolde begged her father to send for a healer.
18:46When the healer arrived and examined him carefully, he sighed and shook his head.
18:50The outside of this tail looks fine, but the bones inside have already softened.
18:54In three days, the bones will turn into a puddle of sore.
18:57Tork went mad, begging the healer to save him, and fell off the bed in his excitement.
19:03Leeora!
19:05Whoa!
19:07You did this, didn't you?
19:09You were jealous of my merman's talent, afraid he'd become the merman king,
19:13and you'd never get ahead of me so you deliberately hurt him you should die too
19:21enough sister there's no need for me to hurt your mengean leaving aside who will end up as the
19:27mengean king atlas is worse stronger than talk he was never a competitor we needed to worry about
19:32why would i go to all this trouble to harm isolda was about to worry but lord blackwood cut her
19:37off
19:37that's enough you stay home and rest you won't be participating in the deep sea gladiator festival
19:42do whatever you want with this useless man both torque and isolda panicked completely was there
19:47any chance of survival for a merman without a tail who was thrown out kai was clearly in a good
19:52mood
19:52when he came to drink the sea beast blood that day he handed me the bowl he was almost finished
19:56with
19:57the entire course of treatment i had increased the dosage of the herbs recently and kai did look much
20:01better than before but it was only a surface improvement the herbs were only keeping him
20:05alive if he exerted himself too much he would have a sudden attack you didn't do that did you
20:11how did you manage to make it happen so suddenly without anyone noticing to repay you i'd do
20:18anything all those tricks he knew now were only because he had been the king of the deep sea merman
20:23in his previous life after drinking the sea beast blood he licked his lips greedily after he left atlas
20:29stepped out from the shadows leora he's not a good person why are you helping him
20:37who said i was helping him the deep sea gladiator festival is in three days
20:42do you have confidence in becoming the merman king if my master is so eager i'll win even if it
20:48cost me

20:56atlas performed normally he would have no problem the night before the deep sea gladiator festival
21:01i couldn't sleep no matter what i put on my coat and walked to the window only to find atlas
21:06sitting
21:06on the roof looking up at the moon the sea breeze blew his dark blue long hair and the moonlight

21:52had called my name not master on the day of the deep sea gladiator festival lord blackwood went with
21:57the solda the arena was located at the bottom of the sea in black reef harbor with a magical dome
22:02keeping out the sea water and a central platform covered in black sand lord blackwood said in a deep
22:07voice atlas this competition is about the honor and status of our family you must give it your all
22:13isold curled her lip into staying but for once she didn't say a word i glanced at her warily just
22:18before atlas went on stage isold took a handkerchief out of her pocket and tried to wipe his sweat
22:23atlas had never liked strangers touching him so he dodged immediately isolda's outstretched hand
22:28frozen midair look at the merman you raised i was just helping him wipe his sweat hey you don't
22:38what's wrong the merman's competition is important but father has been standing in the sun with us
22:42which is hard enough wiping his hen is the least a daughter can do with that i pushed atlas out
22:48onto
22:48the stage isold started fidgeting glancing nervously at lord blackwell from time to time when i saw him
22:54swaying i smiled it turned out to be a sleeping potion father what's wrong with you i was fine
23:01just now why do i feel like this all of a sudden wipe my sweat what are you talking about
23:07father is
23:07just not feeling well it has nothing to do with my handkerchief no lord blackwood was already two
23:16days to speak i smiled at isolda whether there's a problem or not we'll find out when we check it
23:21when
23:21we get back the potion had been used on lord blackwood instead i didn't believe he wouldn't
23:25react isold's goal was simple since her own merman had no hope she didn't want my atlas to compete
23:31after the competition started atlas quickly advanced to the final rounds when she saw kai in the arena
23:36isolda's jaw dropped it was supposed to be useless he was supposed to be a servant in our house
23:41why is he here then she suddenly grabbed the point tail can heal then there's hope for my torque too
23:47you did this didn't you how did you heal him want to know use your own life blood feed it
23:54to him
23:54every day for 49 days and he'll be fine for a merman i'll just buy another one but leora you
24:01healed this
24:01kai just to watch him fight your atlas i stared intently at the stage and didn't answer before we came
24:08i had warned atlas if he faced kai in the arena beat him to death all that sea beast blood
24:13and herbs
24:13hadn't gone to waste kai finally stood face to face with atlas the arena was in an uproar and
24:19everyone was watching this time kai stood on the competition platter his tail glowing like a healthy
24:23sheep he looked around and his eyes finally landed on me he smiled at me that smile made the
24:29scar on my chest from my previous life throb faintly atlas charged forward without a word
24:33the two figures clung into the angle of light and shadow kai who had seemed fierce against his other
24:38opponents suddenly looked weak i smiled but isolde out of the corner of my eye couldn't smile at all
24:45it had only been a cup of tea since he stepped onto the stage and kai could barely get up
24:49i was waiting
24:50for him to exert himself too much and spurt blood on the spot he struggled with all his might to
24:55stand
24:55up and the first thing he did was look at me in the crowd i looked away in disgust kai
24:59threw his head
25:00back in the room trying to unleash all his strength but just as he was about to launch his full
25:04attack
25:05he suddenly clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood before atlas could even touch
25:09him he collapsed to the ground on his own on the competition platform kai fell kicking up a cloud
25:14of black sand the arena fell silent for a moment then erupted into deafening cheers atlas stood in
25:20the center of the field raised his head and found me in the stands through the crowd he mouthed something
25:24and i didn't hear it but my heart skipped a beat atlas won again after several rounds of competition
25:31atlas's identity as the king of the deep sea mermen was firmly established the coronation ceremony was
25:37held in the underwater temple when the deep sea high priest placed the black pearl crown on atlas's head
25:42all the mermen in the entire sea emitted a low frequency resonance the sound of submission that
25:47only mermen could hear across the crowd atlas and i looked at each other from afar isolda was grinding
25:52her teeth so hard they were about to crack on the carriage ride back isolde didn't say a word her
25:58fingers were clenched so tightly around her skirt that her knuckles turned white lord blackwood was
26:02still unconscious tired before kai fell i asked him do you know what you've been drinking all this time
26:12did he hear you he did his eyes went wide unfortunately he didn't have time to say anything
26:20before he spit blood good letting him fall knowing the truth hurt more than letting him die without
26:27knowing when we got home lord blackwood's dizziness didn't subside until the next day when he learned
26:32that atlas had become the king of the deep sea mermen he was overjoyed and said good three times in
26:37a row
26:38it seems i can safely leave the blackwood family to you two from now on
26:45father i'm the first heirly this house should be war this time it's only because my mermen was him
26:51other with the mermen quong would have been ours father are you just sucking up to her now because
26:56her mermen is the mermen king absurd
27:01go back to your room isole from now on you are forbidden from keeping any more
27:06isolda was dragged away that last sentence completely cut off her path without a merman what could she
27:11possibly compete with him the entire blackwood family began to reshuffle lord blackwood officially
27:16announced that i would take over the family's transatlantic maritime trade and magical creature breeding
27:21affairs a week later in the evening i was going through the accounts when a servant knocked on the
27:25door news from the harbor kai has woken up and then he he's been talking nonsense saying things about
27:31a previous life the mermen king that you owe him he also said he doesn't hate miss israelith at all
27:37he's
27:37always hated you because you made him think he could be healed then destroyed him with your own
27:42hands where is he now he's locked in an abandoned warehouse by the harbor keeper no merman will take
27:50in a fellow whose mertimeans are all destroyed he'll be expelled from black reef harbor soon take me to see
27:55him you're going to see him one last time you came i came to hear your last words kai stared
28:10at me for a
28:11long time then suddenly laughed the sound echoed hollowly in the water tank last words i said my last
28:18words in my previous life i'm just saying them again in this one leora you tore me and her apart
28:22israelith
28:23never chose you not in your previous life not in this one you've been lying to yourself your
28:28whole life you're lying then go ask her go right now see if the isolna you're pintsing for would be
28:36willing to give you even a drop even just sea beast i straightened up and turned to leave behind me
28:42came the sound of churning water followed by a suppressed primal scream i didn't look back
28:47you're shaking it's just cold leora it's all over not yet
28:58the family's power transmission will take time the trade routes need to be reorganized and the
29:03forces that once relied on isolo won't go down without a fight most importantly the coronation
29:08of the king of the deep sea murians is just the beginning the real challenges are never on the
29:13competition platform but in the undercurrents beneath it then i'll walk this path with you
29:22the sea breeze blew his long hair and those blue eyes reflected both me and the setting sun
29:27in the distance the bells of black reef harbor rang at the call to nightfall the real game was only
29:32just
29:32beginning
