Ex-husband Stole My Daughter's Cure, Regretted Knowing I'm the Elven Queen Billionaire Romance

BiteSized Drama

Transcript

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,

00:00:52the blood of a priestess could let them walk in the daylight 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.

00:01:22Great, a 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!

00:02:16Run all you want, little bird.

00:02:20You're mine now.

00:02:22I stared at the picture-perfect family of three before me,

00:02:27as a boundless despair swallowed me like a tidal wave.

00:02:31Just as I was on the verge of collapsing,

00:02:34Ronan's mother, Elodie, walked over hoarsely, flanked by attendants.

00:02:38Three-year-old Jasper was incredibly sweet-talked,

00:02:41twitching his delicate little elven ears.

00:02:43He immediately ran over on his short legs and tightly hugged Elodie's leg.

00:02:48Grandma, I 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,

00:03:04melted instantly.

00:03:06She gathered Jasper into her arms,

00:03:08treating him like her ultimate treasure.

00:03:11Seizing the moment,

00:03:13Vanessa leaned into Ronan's embrace,

00:03:15weeping with feigned grievance.

00:03:18It's all my fault.

00:03:19If I had been stronger,

00:03:21your perfect grandson

00:03:23wouldn't have spent three years

00:03:26starving in exile.

00:03:28Elodie's heart ached for them.

00:03:30She snapped her head around to look at me

00:03:32with my deathly pale face

00:03:34and my weakly wailing...

00:03:36The cold wind wowed through the withered tower,

00:03:39a place that never saw a single ray of moonlight.

00:03:43I held my frail little daughter close,

00:03:46huddling in the corner of the freezing stone wall,

00:03:49having barely survived childbirth

00:03:51and with my mana completely burned out.

00:03:55My chest felt as if it were being torn apart.

00:03:59By ten thousand winds!

00:04:01Just when I was completely helpless and desperate,

00:04:05the heavy wooden door of the tower

00:04:07was suddenly pushed open

00:04:09and Ronan walked in,

00:04:12silhouetted against the light.

00:04:14In that single instant,

00:04:16a ridiculous shred of hope

00:04:18actually flared up once more

00:04:21in my deadland heart.

00:04:23He was the child's father.

00:04:25Had he finally softened

00:04:27coming to bring some mana

00:04:28to ward off the cold

00:04:31or to take my daughter and me back,

00:04:33forcing my mana-depleased body up.

00:04:36My pale lips trembled.

00:04:38Did you come to see Iris?

00:04:40She caught a chill.

00:04:42The night sky hung low

00:04:44as the freezing wind raged

00:04:46through the dead silence of the withered tower,

00:04:49preventing even a single slimmer of moonlight

00:04:51from penetrating the darkness.

00:04:53I had burned through the vast majority

00:04:55of my mana during childbirth.

00:04:56The magic within my body

00:04:57had completely dried up.

00:04:59I could only hold

00:05:00my little princess tightly in my arms,

00:05:02using my own faint body wheat

00:05:03to provide warmth for my infant,

00:05:05who was running a continuous low fever

00:05:07inside 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,

00:05:17music,

00:05:17and extravagant luxury.

00:05:19Vanessa and her son

00:05:20sat on a soft couch

00:05:21covered in the rarest

00:05:22luminescent beast skins,

00:05:24basking in the attention,

00:05:25and adoration

00:05:26of all the high-ranking elves

00:05:27in the kingdom.

00:05:29Three-year-old Jasper fluttered

00:05:31the tiny green elban wings

00:05:32that had just begun

00:05:33to develop on his back,

00:05:34holding an exquisite elban sacred berry

00:05:36in his hands,

00:05:37his face completely smeared with juice.

00:05:39Elada sat high upon her throne,

00:05:41grinning from ear to ear,

00:05:43her eyes overflowing

00:05:44with a dotting pride.

00:05:46Watching this warm

00:05:47and harmonious scene,

00:05:48the more Elada looked

00:05:49at this chubby grandson,

00:05:51the more pleasing he seemed

00:05:52to her eye,

00:05:52stroking the staff

00:05:54that symbolized her power

00:05:55as the high priestess,

00:05:56she impatiently turned

00:05:57to prompt my husband,

00:05:58Ronan,

00:05:59who was standing beside her.

00:06:00Ronan,

00:06:01Vanessa and her son

00:06:02have wandered among

00:06:03foreign kingdoms for years,

00:06:05enduring endless hardships.

00:06:07Now my precious eldest grandson

00:06:09is already three years old,

00:06:11and the wind-attributed mana

00:06:12within his body

00:06:13is so abundant.

00:06:14How can he continue

00:06:16to stay in the guest room

00:06:17so illegitimately?

00:06:19Tonight,

00:06:20you must have Vanessa

00:06:21and Jasper

00:06:22officially move

00:06:23into the Lord's main manor,

00:06:24into the bedchambers

00:06:25that rightfully belong

00:06:26to the primary mistress

00:06:28and the heir!

00:06:29Ronan lowered his eyes,

00:06:30looking at Vanessa's

00:06:31adoration-filled face,

00:06:32as she leaned coyly

00:06:34against him,

00:06:35and then at the child,

00:06:36who was sweetly

00:06:37calling him father.

00:06:38The scales in his heart

00:06:39had already...

00:06:39Following her move

00:06:40into the main manor,

00:06:41Vanessa began to carry herself

00:06:43entirely as the queen

00:06:43of the Wind Kingdom.

00:06:44Dressed in extravagant silks,

00:06:46she glided through the temple

00:06:47flanked by her entourage,

00:06:49soaking in the endless,

00:06:50shallow flattery.

00:06:51Yet a stubborn sliver of anxiety

00:06:53remained buried deep

00:06:54in her chest.

00:06:55Whenever night fell,

00:06:56she would catch Ronan

00:06:56standing on the balcony,

00:06:58staring with a conflicted expression

00:06:59towards that dark,

00:07:00desolate, withered tower.

00:07:01Though he spoke

00:07:02with absolute coldness,

00:07:03subconsciously,

00:07:04he still harbored

00:07:05a faint trace of worry

00:07:06for my baby and me,

00:07:07a worry he refused to admit

00:07:09even to himself.

00:07:10This lingering gaze

00:07:11made Vanessa's jealousness

00:07:12and paranoia

00:07:13grow wild.

00:07:14As long as my daughter

00:07:16and I were breathing,

00:07:17her position

00:07:17and Jasper's future

00:07:19would never be safe.

00:07:20An opportunity presented itself

00:07:21sooner than expected.

00:07:23Early this morning,

00:07:24desperate to give

00:07:24my frail daughter

00:07:25a single drop of clean water,

00:07:26my completely helpless self

00:07:28was forced to drag

00:07:29my broken body

00:07:30out of the tower,

00:07:31heading deep into the woods

00:07:32to harvest pure spring water

00:07:33filtered by ancient divine marks.

00:07:35Learning of this,

00:07:36Vanessa's eyes

00:07:36turned ice cold.

00:07:38She knew her moment

00:07:39had arrived.

00:07:39She quietly dismissed

00:07:41the guards around

00:07:42the main manor,

00:07:42taking only a few

00:07:44of her most ruthless

00:07:45disconfidence

00:07:45as she slipped

00:07:47into the dark,

00:07:48abandoned withered tower.

00:07:49The wooden door

00:07:50creaked open,

00:07:51letting in the piercing chill.

00:07:53Vanessa stepped over

00:07:54the debris,

00:07:55advancing slow pace

00:07:56by slow pace.

00:07:57When I returned

00:07:58to the withered tower,

00:08:00thoroughly exhausted,

00:08:02and clutching that

00:08:03tiny container

00:08:03of pure spring water

00:08:04tightly to my chest,

00:08:05what greeted me

00:08:07was not the gentle sound

00:08:08of my daughter's breathing,

00:08:09but a deathly silence.

00:08:11My heart skipped a beat

00:08:13and a boundless panic

00:08:15instantly seized me

00:08:17in a death grip.

00:08:18I practically crawled

00:08:20and scrambled my way

00:08:22toward that freezing stone bed.

00:08:25Iris,

00:08:28mommy is back.

00:08:29The moment my trembling hands

00:08:31pulled back

00:08:32the swaddling clothes,

00:08:33the sight before me

00:08:35caused me to drop

00:08:36into an abyss of ice.

00:08:39Her originally

00:08:40pink little face

00:08:42was now completely white,

00:08:46even faintly tinged

00:08:48with an eerie,

00:08:48sickly green,

00:08:49deathly energy.

00:08:50What truly shattered

00:08:52my soul

00:08:52was that the faint

00:08:54golden elven divine mark

00:08:55on her forehead,

00:08:56which had been flickering softly,

00:08:58was now darkened

00:09:00across a massive area.

00:09:03Iris!

00:09:27I knelt on the freezing floor

00:09:29of the infirmary,

00:09:29sending out the soul transmission

00:09:31over and over again,

00:09:32even though maintaining it

00:09:33for every additional second

00:09:34brought a tearing,

00:09:36agonizing pain

00:09:36to my dried up sea

00:09:37of consciousness.

00:09:38I refused to let go.

00:09:40At this moment,

00:09:42inside the Wind Kingdom's

00:09:43main manor,

00:09:44Ronan was patiently

00:09:45keeping Vanessa

00:09:46and her son company.

00:09:48Three-year-old Jasper,

00:09:49dressed in a luxurious outfit

00:09:51embroidered with green leaves

00:09:52and gold thread,

00:09:53was pulling back

00:09:54a delicate short wooden monobow.

00:10:00When he hit the bullseye,

00:10:02it drew bursts of gasps

00:10:03and praise

00:10:04from the surrounding attendants.

00:10:06Perhaps perturbed

00:10:07and annoyed

00:10:08by my weeping,

00:10:09blood-soaked pleas

00:10:11that continuously echoed

00:10:12in his mind

00:10:13like an act

00:10:14of self-mutilation.

00:10:16After coldly cutting it off

00:10:17over a dozen times,

00:10:19Ronan finally accepted

00:10:20the connection.

00:10:21His phantom projection

00:10:23materialized in midair,

00:10:24looking down at my battered

00:10:26and wretched form

00:10:26from a great height,

00:10:27his eyes filled

00:10:29with absolute impatience

00:10:30and disgust.

00:10:52After the soul transmission

00:10:54was severed,

00:10:55Ronan stared at his empty palm,

00:10:56his brow frowned

00:10:57tightly together.

00:10:58Even though he utterly

00:10:59detested Serafina's

00:11:00jealous fits,

00:11:01he hearing a word

00:11:02like dying

00:11:02still caused a faint

00:11:04inexplicable wave

00:11:05of irritation

00:11:05and unease news

00:11:06to ripple through

00:11:07the depths of his heart.

00:11:08Vanessa,

00:11:08who was watching

00:11:09from the side,

00:11:10keenly captured

00:11:11the shift

00:11:12in Ronan's expression.

00:11:13A flash of panic

00:11:15crossed her eyes,

00:11:16but it was quickly replaced

00:11:18by a profound,

00:11:19calculating look.

00:11:20Vanessa stepped forward

00:11:21gently,

00:11:22considerably smoothing

00:11:23out the wrinkles

00:11:24on Ronan's groves

00:11:25as she spoke

00:11:25in a strained,

00:11:26high-pitched voice.

00:11:28Ronan,

00:11:28the primary mistress,

00:11:29wept so heartbreakingly

00:11:30during the soul transmission.

00:11:32It has left my heart

00:11:32in a bit of a flutter as well.

00:11:34How about we go

00:11:35to the infirmary

00:11:36to take a look right now?

00:11:37After all,

00:11:38the little princess

00:11:39is also your flesh and blood.

00:11:40We absolutely mustn't

00:11:42let anything terrible happen.

00:11:44Seeing Vanessa

00:11:44being so magnanimous

00:11:45and understanding,

00:11:46the irritation in Ronan's heart

00:11:48dissipated quite a bit,

00:11:49and he nodded immediately.

00:11:51Very well.

00:11:53We will do as you say.

00:11:54I want to see

00:11:56what kind of trick

00:11:57she can fabric.

00:11:59Then I will go prepare

00:12:00some monospring water

00:12:00to soothe the child's mind.

00:12:03Wait for me a moment.

00:12:05Vanessa turned around,

00:12:06and the moment she was

00:12:07at an angle,

00:12:07the moment Ronan

00:12:08pushed open the door

00:12:09to the patient room,

00:12:10I was collapsed

00:12:11by the bedside,

00:12:12my eyes filled

00:12:13with absolute disbelief

00:12:15as I stared at my daughter.

00:12:16Just moments ago,

00:12:18after Vanessa came in,

00:12:19under a false pretext,

00:12:21the deathly energy

00:12:23on Iris' face

00:12:24suddenly vanished.

00:12:25Even her shriveled,

00:12:27divine mark

00:12:28smoothed out.

00:12:30Ronan stepped forward

00:12:31with 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

00:12:48at my deathly,

00:12:50pale face.

00:12:51His voice was sharp,

00:12:54cutting,

00:12:54and poisoned.

00:12:56Seraphana!

00:12:57This is the life-threatening

00:12:59danger you spoke of?

00:13:01This is the shattered core

00:13:03you 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

00:13:15as 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,

00:13:27she was not like this!

00:13:28It was Vanessa!

00:13:30She came in just now!

00:13:31She fed something to Modell!

00:13:32But Ronan did not believe me

00:13:34for even a second.

00:13:36So I turned to the doctor

00:13:37beside us,

00:13:39as if he were my last

00:13:40saving straw.

00:13:42Doc...

00:13:42watching me fall to the ground

00:13:43in a distrevelled,

00:13:44helpless state.

00:13:46Vanessa,

00:13:47hidden just behind Ronan,

00:13:48let a fleeting,

00:13:49venomous smile

00:13:49of triumph play

00:13:50on the corners of her lips.

00:13:52Then,

00:13:53stepping forward

00:13:53at the perfect moment,

00:13:55she submissively

00:13:55wrapped her arm

00:13:56aground Ronan's,

00:13:57practically melting

00:13:58half her body

00:13:59into his embrace.

00:14:00While casting feigned

00:14:01looks of pity

00:14:02at the little princess

00:14:03on the sickbed,

00:14:04she continuously

00:14:05blew poisonous whispers

00:14:06into Ronan's ear.

00:14:07Ronan,

00:14:08don't blame the primary mistress

00:14:09too much.

00:14:11Iris is a girl,

00:14:12after all,

00:14:13born with a weak constitution.

00:14:15It is only natural

00:14:16she panicked

00:14:16when a minor chill

00:14:17threw the child

00:14:18into such a state.

00:14:19It's just,

00:14:20the primary mistress

00:14:22is far too sensitive.

00:14:24Always catching its shadows

00:14:26and blowing minor inconveniences

00:14:28entirely out of proportion.

00:14:29She looked up,

00:14:31her eyes brimming

00:14:32with tenderness

00:14:32and adoration.

00:14:34Jasper's succession ceremony

00:14:35is in just two days.

00:14:37That is the true matter

00:14:38of gravity

00:14:38for the kingdom's legacy.

00:14:40We cannot let Seraphina

00:14:41delay your proper business

00:14:43over these trivial

00:14:44backyard squabbles.

00:14:48Let us return

00:14:49to the main manor.

00:14:50We shouldn't let her hysteria

00:14:52ruin our precious time

00:14:53with Jasper.

00:14:58Ronan averted his eyes

00:14:59in disgust,

00:15:00refusing to grant

00:15:01even half a glance

00:15:02to his biological daughter

00:15:04on the sickbed.

00:15:04Vanessa,

00:15:05you are the one

00:15:06who is truly sensible.

00:15:08Come,

00:15:08let us return.

00:15:10And ignore this mad...

00:15:13Three days later,

00:15:15Elid spared no expense,

00:15:17utilizing over half

00:15:18of the Wind Kingdom's treasury

00:15:19to organize an incredibly

00:15:21extravagant dawn trial

00:15:22for three-year-old Jasper.

00:15:24The streets of the main city

00:15:26were carpeted with sacred

00:15:28florencent 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

00:15:42across the territory.

00:15:45As Vanessa held the hand

00:15:47of 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,

00:16:01in a dark corner of the Grand Hall,

00:16:03I cradled my daughter,

00:16:04whose life force

00:16:05was growing fainter by the moment,

00:16:07watching this absurd fast

00:16:09with cold distachment.

00:16:10Without the Lord's explicit permission,

00:16:13my daughter and I lacked

00:16:14even the right

00:16:14to enter the main hall,

00:16:18forced to stand

00:16:19in the freezing wind

00:16:21of the outer gallery.

00:16:22Just then,

00:16:23Vanessa,

00:16:24basking in the adoration

00:16:25atop the float,

00:16:27spotted my figure from afar.

00:16:28With a flicker in her eyes,

00:16:29she intentionally walked towards me

00:16:31with a smug smile,

00:16:33covering her mouth

00:16:34with a handkerchief.

00:16:35She let out a feigned sigh

00:16:36of self-reploach,

00:16:37though her eyes were filled

00:16:38with condescending charity.

00:16:40Sister,

00:16:41do not blame Mother and Ronin

00:16:43for being heartless.

00:16:44The Withered Tower is peaceful,

00:16:46making it the perfect place

00:16:47for your magic-deficient daughter

00:16:49to recuperate.

00:16:50Today is our Jasper's

00:16:51succession celebration.

00:16:52You shouldn't have brought her out

00:16:53in the first place.

00:16:54Look at her,

00:16:55even her divine...

00:16:56The moment these words

00:16:57were spoken,

00:16:58a massive uproar

00:17:01rippled through the crowd.

00:17:03The High Elfin King

00:17:04was the supreme ruler

00:17:05of the entire Elfin world.

00:17:09A godlike existence.

00:17:12If they could obtain

00:17:13even a shred

00:17:14of that lord's favor,

00:17:15the Wind Kingdom

00:17:17could instantly ascend

00:17:18into the ranks

00:17:18of the Super Kingdoms.

00:17:21Ronin's face was flushed

00:17:22with absolute pride,

00:17:23his features bearing

00:17:25an unmaskable arrogance.

00:17:28as he turned an affectionate gaze

00:17:29to Vanessa and Jasper.

00:17:33Once this cooperation

00:17:34is finalized,

00:17:35Jasper will not only be

00:17:37the king of the Wind Kingdom,

00:17:40but the most noble young commander

00:17:43of the future sanctuary!

00:17:45I shall use the eternal prosperity

00:17:47of the supreme sanctuary

00:17:48to make up for the Grieges.

00:17:51Vanessa and her son

00:17:53suffered over the past

00:17:55three years!

00:17:57Vanessa cast a provocative

00:17:58glance at me,

00:17:59her eyes brimming

00:18:00with ostentation.

00:18:02After a few days

00:18:03of revelry,

00:18:04the disguise

00:18:05of the illusion potion

00:18:06finally collapsed,

00:18:08like a castle of sand.

00:18:10Lying on the stone bed

00:18:11of the withered tower,

00:18:13the toxins within

00:18:14my daughter's body

00:18:14broke past all restraint,

00:18:16erupting violently.

00:18:17She fell into a prolonged coma,

00:18:20her tiny body burning

00:18:21with a terrifying fever,

00:18:23her lips cracked and pale,

00:18:25her breathing reduced

00:18:26to a flickering candle

00:18:27in the wind,

00:18:30liable to extinguish

00:18:31at 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

00:18:40against her icy little hand.

00:18:43My tears long since dried.

00:18:46Just as I was on the verge

00:18:47of despairing unto death,

00:18:49the wooden door

00:18:50of the high tower

00:18:51was suddenly pushed open

00:18:52in a frenzy.

00:18:53The Wind Kingdom doctor

00:18:55burst in,

00:18:56dripping with sweat,

00:18:57his eyes a tangled mess

00:18:58of guilt and terror.

00:19:00With trembling hands,

00:19:01he presented a crystal bottle,

00:19:04radiating a warm,

00:19:05sacred golden light,

00:19:07like the midday sun.

00:19:08This medicine can neutralize

00:19:10all poisons,

00:19:11save those on the brink of death,

00:19:13and immensely nourish

00:19:14the bloodline

00:19:15of an elven babe.

00:19:16Please,

00:19:16feed it to the little princess quickly.

00:19:18This is her sole path

00:19:19to survival.

00:19:21Staring at that ball

00:19:22of sacred golden light,

00:19:23my deadened heart

00:19:23began to beat frantically.

00:19:25I 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

00:19:31was finally saved.

00:19:32Trembling,

00:19:33I pulled the cork,

00:19:35preparing to feed

00:19:36this life-saving drop

00:19:37into my daughter's mouth.

00:19:39Ilyan gripped the flask

00:19:40of sacred tree extract tightly.

00:19:42Feeling the boundless

00:19:43sacred energy swirling within,

00:19:45a fanatical greed

00:19:46erupted in her eyes.

00:19:48Give it back to me!

00:19:49That is Iris'

00:19:51life-saving medicine!

00:19:52I lunged forward

00:19:53like a madman

00:19:53to reclaim the medicine.

00:19:55Give it back!

00:19:57Only to be ruthlessly

00:19:58pinned to the ground

00:19:59by two high-tier guards

00:20:01using their magical stabs.

00:20:02My knees slammed

00:20:03against the hard stone tiles,

00:20:05emitting a sickening crack.

00:20:08Following closely behind,

00:20:10Ronan looked down at me

00:20:11with cold detachment,

00:20:13devoid of any pity.

00:20:15Aleda trembled with excitement,

00:20:17refusing to grant

00:20:18even a single glance

00:20:19to the dying daughter

00:20:20on the sickbed,

00:20:21her mind and heart

00:20:22entirely occupied

00:20:23by her precious

00:20:24eldest grandson.

00:20:25Roran!

00:20:26Look at this!

00:20:26This is the legendary

00:20:27sacred tree extract!

00:20:29Though three-year-old Jasper

00:20:30is extraordinarily gifted,

00:20:32his skeletal frame

00:20:33hasn't fully matured yet.

00:20:34If we let him drink

00:20:35this divine item,

00:20:37his wind magic

00:20:37will undergo

00:20:38a complete metamorphosis,

00:20:40allowing him to grow taller

00:20:41and more powerful

00:20:42than any peer,

00:20:43entirely solidifying

00:20:45his position

00:20:45as the first heir

00:20:46under the kingdom's spotlight!

00:20:48Mother is correct.

00:20:51Amid my agonized weeping,

00:20:53that priceless flask

00:20:54of sacred tree extract

00:20:56was gently yet

00:20:57forcefully poured

00:20:58into the mouth

00:21:00of the perfectly

00:21:00lival Jasper

00:21:01by Eladid.

00:21:02The moment

00:21:03the divine item

00:21:04entered his mouth,

00:21:05a blinding golden current

00:21:07erupted across Jasper's body.

00:21:09Not only did his

00:21:09wind attribute magic

00:21:11surge instantly,

00:21:12but his height

00:21:13even seemed to increase

00:21:14slightly.

00:21:15The three-year-old toddler

00:21:17excitedly brashed

00:21:18at his magic in the hall,

00:21:19while Ronan and Vanessa

00:21:20surrounded him,

00:21:21letting out waves

00:21:22of absolute delight.

00:21:24The happier their laughter,

00:21:26the more shattered

00:21:27my heart became.

00:21:28Ronan looked down

00:21:29upon me as I lay

00:21:30limp on the ground,

00:21:31his cold words

00:21:32cutting like blades.

00:21:34Seraphina,

00:21:35cease your weeping here.

00:21:37Jasper is the future

00:21:38hope of the kingdom.

00:21:40Giving this medicine

00:21:41to him ensures

00:21:41it is put to its

00:21:42proper use.

00:21:43As for Iris,

00:21:45it has been said

00:21:46she merely has

00:21:48a common chill.

00:21:49It is not worth

00:21:50delaying proper business

00:21:52over her,

00:21:52and she certainly

00:21:53does not deserve

00:21:54a divine object

00:21:55like the sacred

00:21:56tree extract.

00:21:57Flicking his sleeves,

00:21:59Ronan turned

00:21:59and left heartlessly,

00:22:00taking the room's

00:22:01laughter with him.

00:22:02When they departed

00:22:03entirely,

00:22:05the tower plunged

00:22:06back into a

00:22:06deathly silence.

00:22:08I crawled to the

00:22:09bedside,

00:22:10looking at my

00:22:10empty hands,

00:22:12and then at my

00:22:13daughter,

00:22:13whose core was

00:22:14withering,

00:22:15as she spit out

00:22:16another mouthful

00:22:17of black blood

00:22:17from the poison

00:22:18gripping her heart.

00:22:19My daughter

00:22:20opened her eyes

00:22:20weakly,

00:22:21rubbing against my

00:22:22palm with a touch

00:22:22of attachment,

00:22:23before sinking entirely

00:22:24into a deathly

00:22:25coldness.

00:22:26Slowly raising

00:22:27my right hand,

00:22:28I spared no cost

00:22:30to force out

00:22:31the final drop

00:22:32of supreme

00:22:32golden...

00:22:33The supreme

00:22:34array faded

00:22:34into the air,

00:22:36and forcing my

00:22:37dying,

00:22:37battered body

00:22:38forward,

00:22:39I carried my

00:22:40daughter out

00:22:40of the

00:22:40withered tower.

00:22:41My daughter's

00:22:42fragile form

00:22:43barely clung

00:22:44to life.

00:22:45Without disturbing

00:22:46anyone,

00:22:46I walked step

00:22:48by step

00:22:48to the center

00:22:49of the territory,

00:22:50stopping before

00:22:51the tree of life.

00:22:52Then I was

00:22:53going to

00:22:53be road of to stand

00:22:54into the

00:22:57swearing by the

00:22:58supreme bloodline,

00:22:59I sever the

00:23:00covenant and

00:23:01erase my holy

00:23:02name here today.

00:23:07Inside the

00:23:08main manor,

00:23:09Ronan felt a

00:23:11sudden,

00:23:11violent spasm

00:23:12of pain strike

00:23:13his chest.

00:23:16Ronan,

00:23:17three years

00:23:18of marital

00:23:18devotion has

00:23:19been personally

00:23:19severed by your

00:23:20hand today.

00:23:21The trampling

00:23:22you granted me

00:23:22I have accepted.

00:23:23From this day

00:23:24forward,

00:23:24we shall not

00:23:25meet again

00:23:25in life nor

00:23:25death.

00:23:27Serafina,

00:23:27what madness

00:23:28are you throwing

00:23:28now over such

00:23:29a trivial matter

00:23:30you would go

00:23:30so far as to

00:23:31harm your own

00:23:31body to forge

00:23:32a fortune

00:23:33backlash?

00:23:33I have no

00:23:34time to play

00:23:35these cat

00:23:35and mouse

00:23:35games with

00:23:36you.

00:23:36If you have

00:23:37the ability

00:23:37to leave,

00:23:38then ensure

00:23:38you never

00:23:38return!

00:23:41This

00:23:41death has

00:23:42simply been

00:23:42spoiled by

00:23:43him.

00:23:43In a couple

00:23:44of days,

00:23:45once she has

00:23:45suffered enough

00:23:46outside,

00:23:47she will

00:23:47naturally come

00:23:48back begging

00:23:49on her knees.

00:23:50Let us ignore

00:23:51her.

00:24:08That night,

00:24:09the entire

00:24:10main manor

00:24:11of the Wind

00:24:12Kingdom

00:24:12was brightly

00:24:14lit and

00:24:15adorned with

00:24:15festive

00:24:16decorations.

00:24:17To celebrate

00:24:18three-year-old

00:24:19Jasper,

00:24:19consuming the

00:24:20sacred tree

00:24:21extract and

00:24:22experiencing a

00:24:23surge in

00:24:24magic,

00:24:25Aline ordered

00:24:25an all-night

00:24:26festival of

00:24:27music and

00:24:28dance.

00:24:29Inside the

00:24:30magnificent

00:24:30main hall,

00:24:31the aroma of

00:24:32fine wine

00:24:32filled the

00:24:33air as

00:24:33countless

00:24:34high-tier

00:24:34elves raised

00:24:35their glasses

00:24:36in unison.

00:24:37Surrounding

00:24:37Vanessa and

00:24:38her son at

00:24:38the center,

00:24:38with absolute

00:24:39flattery and

00:24:40obdaciousness,

00:24:42Ronan sat

00:24:42upon his throne,

00:24:43looking at his

00:24:44triumphant eldest

00:24:45son,

00:24:46his eyes filled

00:24:48with pride and

00:24:49certainty that the

00:24:50kingdom was about

00:24:51to ascend to the

00:24:52peak of all

00:24:53kingdoms.

00:24:54The hypocritical and

00:24:56fanatical cheers

00:24:57echoed through the

00:24:58night sky,

00:24:59transforming the

00:25:00entire temple

00:25:01into a city that

00:25:02never slept.

00:25:04Yet no one

00:25:04noticed that on the

00:25:05desolate path at

00:25:06the outmost edge

00:25:07of the main city,

00:25:08leading towards

00:25:09the forbidden

00:25:10forest, a

00:25:10slender and

00:25:11resolute figure was

00:25:12carrying a

00:25:13sweatling cloth,

00:25:14stepping into the

00:25:14boundless curtain

00:25:15of night.

00:25:16The freezing rain

00:25:16slammed down

00:25:17merseusely.

00:25:18Serafina's face

00:25:19was deathly still,

00:25:20but her hands

00:25:20held the daughter

00:25:21in her head.

00:25:21The sacred light

00:25:22erupted outward

00:25:23at the center of

00:25:24the royal hall in

00:25:25the supreme sanctuary.

00:25:26Holding my

00:25:27daughter, who had

00:25:27practically stopped

00:25:28breathing, I

00:25:29finally collapsed

00:25:30onto my knees

00:25:31against the

00:25:32flawless white

00:25:32jade floor tiles,

00:25:33my strength

00:25:34entirely spent.

00:25:35My long hair

00:25:36was soaked

00:25:36through by the

00:25:37torrishless rain

00:25:38sticking messily

00:25:38to my deathly

00:25:39pale cheeks.

00:25:39The weakness

00:25:40of postparting

00:25:40recovery,

00:25:41combled with the

00:25:41trauma of

00:25:42forcibly reversing

00:25:42my source power,

00:25:43caused me to

00:25:44leave a striking

00:25:45trail of blood

00:25:45with every step.

00:25:46Sitting high

00:25:47upon his throne,

00:25:48my father rose

00:25:48abruptly.

00:25:49When he clearly

00:25:49saw my broken

00:25:50state at the

00:25:51bottom of the

00:25:51steps, his

00:25:52majestic, noble

00:25:53face, which

00:25:53had 10,000

00:25:54years of history,

00:25:55trembled violently

00:25:56with immense

00:25:56shock and

00:25:57heartache.

00:25:58Moving like a

00:25:59blur, he

00:25:59materialized by

00:26:00my side in an

00:26:01instant, his

00:26:02hands shaking

00:26:03as he tried

00:26:04to lift me up.

00:26:04My daughter!

00:26:06How did you

00:26:06become like this?

00:26:09Your supreme

00:26:10magic, which

00:26:11even 10,000

00:26:12kingdoms look up

00:26:13to, why has

00:26:14it withered to

00:26:15such an extent?

00:26:18I slowly

00:26:18raised my head,

00:26:19the tears of

00:26:20blood at the

00:26:20corners of my

00:26:21eye long since

00:26:22dried.

00:26:22I did not cry

00:26:23out.

00:26:23I merely used

00:26:24the final shred

00:26:24of strength in

00:26:25my body to

00:26:25tremblingly present

00:26:26the swaddling

00:26:27cloth to my

00:26:27father.

00:26:28Father, save

00:26:29her.

00:26:30She is Ronin's

00:26:31biological flesh

00:26:32and blood, yet

00:26:33they dismissed

00:26:33her as a

00:26:33lowly wretch.

00:26:34To steal her

00:26:35life-saving

00:26:35medicine, they

00:26:36fed my Iris

00:26:37forbidden illusion

00:26:38potions to

00:26:38forcibly mask

00:26:39the truth.

00:26:40She has been

00:26:41poisoned with

00:26:41soul-eating grass,

00:26:42and her magic

00:26:43core is on the

00:26:44verge of shattering.

00:26:45My father took

00:26:45the time to

00:26:46rescue Iris from

00:26:47the brink of

00:26:48death.

00:26:48My father did

00:26:49not hesitate for

00:26:50a moment,

00:26:51immediately ordering

00:26:51the opening of

00:26:52the life core of

00:26:53the ancient sacred

00:26:54tree that had

00:26:55lived for 100,000

00:26:56years within the

00:26:57forbidden grounds.

00:26:58This was the

00:26:59energy source of

00:27:00the entire elfin

00:27:01world, a place

00:27:02where even the

00:27:03high priests of

00:27:04the sanctuary had

00:27:05no right to

00:27:06approach normally.

00:27:07Yet it was fully

00:27:08open today for

00:27:09my daughter.

00:27:10Every top holy

00:27:12tier healer within

00:27:13the sanctuary was

00:27:14assembled overnight.

00:27:20The golden life core

00:27:21floated gently above

00:27:22the sickbed, radiating

00:27:23a soft, vast, and

00:27:24ocean-like purity of

00:27:25magic.

00:27:26A canopy of

00:27:26brilliant golden

00:27:27light wrapped around

00:27:28Iris' tiny body

00:27:29layer by layer, like

00:27:30a coon nourished by

00:27:31this immense life

00:27:32force.

00:27:32The faint golden

00:27:33divine mark on

00:27:34Iris' forehead, which

00:27:35had been nearly

00:27:36cracked and extinguished,

00:27:38finally flickered with

00:27:39a weak resonance under

00:27:41the caress of the

00:27:41divine light.

00:27:42I kept watch by

00:27:43the bedside, my face

00:27:45pale, never leaving

00:27:46her side for a

00:27:47single pace.

00:27:48I watched with my

00:27:49own eyes as those

00:27:50holy-gree healers

00:27:51transformed secret

00:27:52medicines into

00:27:53golden needles,

00:27:54extracting the

00:27:55stubborn soul-eating

00:27:55grease poison from

00:27:56my daughter's body,

00:27:57inch by inch.

00:27:59Every time that the

00:28:00poison was forced

00:28:00out, my daughter

00:28:01would let our faint

00:28:02kitten-like whipper

00:28:03of pain, and those

00:28:05drops of black

00:28:05toxic blood would

00:28:07instantly corrode

00:28:08scorched hole into

00:28:08the pure white sheets

00:28:09upon hitting them.

00:28:10My daughter...

00:28:12The morning sun

00:28:13spilled across the

00:28:14luxurious couch where

00:28:15Vanessa was gently

00:28:15helping Ronan into

00:28:16his robes.

00:28:17However, Ronan's brow

00:28:18was furrowed tightly,

00:28:19his handsome face

00:28:20clouded with undeniable

00:28:21irritation and gloom.

00:28:23Right then, a

00:28:23panicked-starting bell

00:28:24rang out from outside

00:28:25the main temple.

00:28:26Several elders

00:28:26scrambled into the

00:28:27hall, their faces

00:28:28as white as sheets.

00:28:29Lord, disaster has

00:28:30struck!

00:28:30The soldiers guarding

00:28:31the ascension platform

00:28:32just reported that

00:28:33our kingdom's passage

00:28:34to the sanctuary has

00:28:35been violently locked

00:28:36from above by an

00:28:37unspeakable supreme

00:28:38divine authority!

00:28:40The gates of the

00:28:41divine realm are

00:28:42closed to us!

00:28:45What did you say?!

00:28:47The passage is locked!

00:28:50Who could possibly

00:28:52have such power?!

00:28:53In that instant,

00:28:54the image of

00:28:55Seraphina's cold,

00:28:56ruthless phantom

00:28:57before her departure

00:28:58flashed through his

00:28:59mind, and his heart

00:29:00sank.

00:29:01Could it be...

00:29:02Seraphina?

00:29:03But the moment the

00:29:04thought arose, it was

00:29:05instantly crushed by the

00:29:06deep-rooted arrogance

00:29:07in his heart.

00:29:08He let out a cold,

00:29:10self-decricketing laugh.

00:29:11Seraphina was nothing

00:29:12more than a lowly woman

00:29:13with no background,

00:29:14inferior even to a

00:29:15low-tier elf of the

00:29:16Windsuary that happened

00:29:17to affect their kingdom.

00:29:20Seeing his distress,

00:29:22Vanessa quickly moved

00:29:23closer, wrapping her

00:29:24arms around his to

00:29:26comfort him.

00:29:27However, the moment

00:29:28Ronan stepped into the

00:29:29Covenant Temple, the

00:29:30priest on duty collapsed

00:29:31to the floor in sheer

00:29:32terror, his face

00:29:33deathly pale.

00:29:34Ronan, what are you

00:29:35panicking for?

00:29:35Bring out the Covenant

00:29:36Jade plaques for

00:29:37Seraphina and the

00:29:38infant.

00:29:38I want to see where

00:29:39they are hiding and

00:29:40laughing at me!

00:29:41My lord, spare my

00:29:42life!

00:29:43They cannot be brought

00:29:45out!

00:29:45Just three days ago,

00:29:47the primary mistress

00:29:48covenant mark under

00:29:49the Tree of Life was

00:29:50forcibly erased!

00:29:52What did you say?

00:29:54Forcibly erased?

00:29:56Not only is it gone,

00:29:57but the mother and

00:29:58daughter used an

00:29:59ancient secret ritual to

00:30:00completely delete all

00:30:01their holy names from

00:30:02the Elfin race.

00:30:03Half of the Tree of

00:30:04Life has withered.

00:30:05I used every tracking

00:30:06method available, but

00:30:07they are all untraceable.

00:30:09They have completely

00:30:09severed their bloodline

00:30:11and connection with the

00:30:12Wind Kingdom.

00:30:13Well played, Seraphina!

00:30:15To resort to such a

00:30:16self-harming, despicable

00:30:18trick as deleting your

00:30:19holy name!

00:30:20Do you think you can

00:30:21escape just by doing

00:30:22that?

00:30:22I want to see how many

00:30:23days you can last out

00:30:25there with your dying

00:30:26daughter without the

00:30:27protection of the Wind

00:30:28Kingdom!

00:30:31Watching her daughter

00:30:32sleep peacefully in the

00:30:33divine light of the

00:30:34sacred tree, Seraphina

00:30:36slowly stood up.

00:30:38The mole that

00:30:38tended as she turned to

00:30:39vanished from her eyes,

00:30:40replaced by a bottomless

00:30:42coldness and resolve.

00:30:43Father, I was too foolish

00:30:45in the past to repay a

00:30:46trivial mortal deed.

00:30:48I degraded myself to

00:30:49cater to a blind,

00:30:50cold-blooded mortal.

00:30:52In return, they trampled

00:30:53all over me and nearly

00:30:54caused my daughter's

00:30:55death!

00:30:55She raised her hand,

00:30:57slicing through the air

00:30:58like a blade.

00:30:59As an invisible emotional

00:31:01barrier shattered, the

00:31:02painful memories of her

00:31:03humiliation, Ronan's

00:31:05neglect, and Vanessa's

00:31:06framing in the Wind

00:31:07Kingdom were sealed

00:31:08deep within her heart.

00:31:10From this day forward,

00:31:11the lowly, submissive

00:31:12consort of the Wind

00:31:13Kingdom no longer

00:31:14exists, to ensure we

00:31:16are never trampled on

00:31:16again, and to control my

00:31:18daughter's destiny.

00:31:19I willingly accept the

00:31:20royal bloodline baptism!

00:31:21Looking at his daughter,

00:31:23whose gaze had become as

00:31:24sharp as a hawk, the

00:31:25high-elval king felt a

00:31:26surge of relief and

00:31:26pride.

00:31:27He immediately gave his

00:31:28stern approval.

00:31:29Half an hour later, the

00:31:30gates 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 the

00:31:35supreme royal family.

00:31:36Filled with primeval

00:31:37Priadan magic accumulated

00:31:38over 10,000 years, and

00:31:39to an ordinary high-elf

00:31:40would explode and die

00:31:41from touching even a

00:31:42single drop, and to

00:31:43enduring the agonizing

00:31:44pain of a complete

00:31:45bone-shatterned

00:31:46transformation.

00:31:46Without any hesitation,

00:31:48under the Averstech

00:31:49gaze of 10,000 years,

00:31:50Smash!

00:31:51Ronan shattered his

00:31:52communication array for

00:31:53the 12th time.

00:31:54Every time he tried to

00:31:56connect with Serafina

00:31:56through a soul

00:31:57transmission, he was

00:31:58met with nothing but a

00:31:59cold, empty echo, and

00:32:01the piercing pain of

00:32:02magical backlash.

00:32:03His frustration reached

00:32:04its peep as a

00:32:05suffocating panic of

00:32:06losing control gripped

00:32:07his throat.

00:32:08Just then, the hall

00:32:10doors pushed open, and

00:32:11Vanessa walked in

00:32:12smiling, holding

00:32:13three-year-old Jasper

00:32:14by the hand.

00:32:15Roman, look!

00:32:17After taking the sacred

00:32:18tree extract today,

00:32:20Jasper can already

00:32:20control two high-tier

00:32:22wind blades!

00:32:24He truly is your

00:32:26eldest son.

00:32:27Ronan turned his

00:32:28irritated gaze onto

00:32:29Jasper, who was

00:32:30shouting and playing

00:32:31with a toy.

00:32:32But as he looked, his

00:32:33breath caught.

00:32:34Whether it was due to

00:32:35the sudden loss of his

00:32:36kingdom's fortune,

00:32:37looking at Jasper's

00:32:38arrogant and brash face

00:32:39felt unprecedentedly

00:32:41discordal.

00:32:41The child's features

00:32:42lacked even a trace of

00:32:43the Wind Kingdom royal

00:32:44family's elegance,

00:32:45showing instead a

00:32:46crude vulgarity.

00:32:47What terrified him

00:32:48most was that the

00:32:49wind-attributed magic

00:32:50to radiating from

00:32:51Jasper was crose and

00:32:52wild, sharing absolutely

00:32:54no bloodline resonance,

00:32:55with the pure, biting

00:32:56royal bloodline in his

00:32:57own body.

00:32:58When Vanessa gave

00:32:59birth to the child

00:33:00outside years ago,

00:33:02crying that she had

00:33:03been hunted by enemies

00:33:04and forced to wander,

00:33:06Ronan pitied her and

00:33:07never questioned the

00:33:08bloodline.

00:33:09But now...

00:33:13Ronan, why are you

00:33:14looking at Jasper like

00:33:15that?

00:33:18Did he do something

00:33:19wrong?

00:33:19Rokhan stared dead at

00:33:20the flash of panic in

00:33:21Vanessa's eyes.

00:33:22His hands clenched

00:33:23tightly beneath his

00:33:24robes as something

00:33:25sh**.

00:33:25Meanwhile, in the

00:33:26sanctuary, around the

00:33:27forbidden sacred pool

00:33:28grounds, 10,000 pure-blood

00:33:29high-elven generals,

00:33:30high-priests, and

00:33:31gradually cards of the

00:33:32divine king knelt

00:33:33across the mountains.

00:33:34Everyone held their

00:33:34breath, looking up at

00:33:35the gradually calming

00:33:36sacred pool in awe.

00:33:37Suddenly, faint golden

00:33:38ripple carrying supreme

00:33:39majority spread from the

00:33:41center of the pool.

00:33:41A graceful, noble figure

00:33:43slowly rose from the

00:33:44center of the water.

00:33:45Serafina's postpartum

00:33:46weakness and plast were

00:33:47entirely gone.

00:33:48Her skin shone like

00:33:49flawless white jade,

00:33:50flowing with a sacred

00:33:51light, and her once

00:33:52withered long hair had

00:33:53turned into a dazzling

00:33:54golden color, skating

00:33:55down to her ankles.

00:33:57Under the baptism of the

00:33:57ancient presided energy,

00:33:59her appearance and magic

00:34:00were completely restored,

00:34:02far surpassing her past

00:34:03peak.

00:34:03The moment her feet left

00:34:05the water and she

00:34:05hovered in mid-air, the

00:34:07space behind her tore

00:34:08violently.

00:34:09Boom!

00:34:09Accompanied by a divine

00:34:10phoenix cry that echoed

00:34:11through the heavens, a

00:34:12pair of dazzling supreme

00:34:13natural wings radiating

00:34:15boundless life and

00:34:15destruction unfurled

00:34:16behind her back.

00:34:17The divine wings were

00:34:18massive, each feather

00:34:19condundated from the purest

00:34:20golden light of natural

00:34:22law.

00:34:22With a slight flutter, a

00:34:23terrifying pressure swept

00:34:24past like a tsunami.

00:34:25Unable to withstand the

00:34:26bloodline pressure from the

00:34:28depths of their souls, the

00:34:29ten thousand pure-blooded

00:34:30elves slammed their foreheads

00:34:32against the ground, as the

00:34:33sacred roof and echoed in

00:34:35harmony.

00:34:36We welcome Her Majesty's

00:34:37ascension to the throne!

00:34:41May your life be divine

00:34:42powerful forever, and may

00:34:44your life match the

00:34:45heavens!

00:34:46Since Seraphina's

00:34:47departure, Vanessa carried

00:34:48herself completely as the

00:34:49new mistress of the wind

00:34:50kingdom.

00:34:51Without the restraint of the

00:34:52legitimate primary

00:34:53mistress, she tore off her

00:34:55past gentle disguise.

00:34:56The first thing she did

00:34:57upon moving is replace all

00:34:58the decorations with the

00:34:59most luxurious gold silks.

00:35:01She lived extravagantly,

00:35:02and wastefully, bathing

00:35:03in the rarest floral dew

00:35:04daily, and even forcibly

00:35:06withalding nearly half of

00:35:07the lower-tier elf's

00:35:08winter ravines, just to

00:35:09fashion a sweeping dress

00:35:10embedded with deep-sea

00:35:11magic krills.

00:35:12Furthermore, Vanessa was

00:35:13arrogant and harsh to the

00:35:14point of cruelty toward the

00:35:15servants and lower-class

00:35:16elves of the kingdom.

00:35:18Mistress, this is the

00:35:19silver-needle tea you

00:35:20requested.

00:35:20The temperature is just

00:35:22right.

00:35:22It's...

00:35:22Golding, you useless

00:35:24wretch!

00:35:24Are you trying to ruin my

00:35:25face on purpose?

00:35:26Someone, strip her of her

00:35:28elfin badge and banish her

00:35:29entire family to hard

00:35:30labor at the Wither Tower!

00:35:32Panic gripped the main

00:35:33manor, and the lower-tier

00:35:34elves filled the air with

00:35:35grievances.

00:35:36Sitting in his study, Ronan

00:35:37listened to the constant

00:35:38shouting, face-slapping and

00:35:40crying from outside, his

00:35:41temples throbbing.

00:35:42Looking at the ledger,

00:35:43submitted by the Council of

00:35:44Elders, which detailed

00:35:45Vanessa's waste of tens of

00:35:46thousands of magic crystals

00:35:47over the past few days, his

00:35:49face turned grim.

00:35:50In the past, when Serafina

00:35:51managed the household, the

00:35:52entire Wind Kingdom was

00:35:53orderly.

00:35:53She was always gentle,

00:35:55understanding, and proper,

00:35:56choosing to live frugally

00:35:57rather than misappropriate a

00:35:58single penny from the kingdom.

00:36:00Even using her own source

00:36:01Morna to nourish injured

00:36:02low-tier soldiers, Roman

00:36:03instinctively touched the

00:36:04empty space beside his

00:36:05throne, an unprecedented

00:36:07emptiness and regret

00:36:08washing over him like a

00:36:09tidal wave.

00:36:10He began to desperately miss

00:36:11the woman who had always

00:36:12quietly waited for him.

00:36:14But now, no matter how much

00:36:15he searched the Wind

00:36:16Kingdom's territory, he could

00:36:18no longer find a single

00:36:19trace of Serafina.

00:36:20Yet, Ronan had no idea that

00:36:21while he was drowning in

00:36:22endless regret and agony, a

00:36:23dim storal lamp was burning

00:36:24in the most secluded

00:36:25subterranean chamber of

00:36:26the main manor.

00:36:27Dressed in her luxurious

00:36:28gown, Vanessa showed none

00:36:29of her usual arrogance,

00:36:30slumping limply into the

00:36:31embrace of her old lover

00:36:32Oswin, the chief captain

00:36:33of the guards.

00:36:34Oswin's rough, calloused

00:36:35hands gripped her slender

00:36:36waist tightly, as their

00:36:37breaths mingled in a

00:36:38display of immacity and

00:36:39wanton behavior.

00:36:40That suspicious Rhett

00:36:41Ronan stared at Jasper for

00:36:43a long time today.

00:36:44Could he have discovered

00:36:45something?

00:36:46My darling, with me here,

00:36:48what are you afraid of?

00:36:49Even if his suspicions lead

00:36:51him to test the bloodline,

00:36:52he will never find a

00:36:53problem.

00:36:53Don't forget, when he

00:36:55sent me to draw our son's

00:36:56blood, I swapped it with

00:36:57my own.

00:36:58That broken appraisal

00:36:59Askel of his will only

00:37:00show an absolute blood

00:37:01relative.

00:37:02Oswin pulled Vanessa

00:37:03closer, tilting her chin

00:37:05up proudly.

00:37:06If Ronan hadn't been

00:37:07heavily injured and

00:37:07unconscious during the

00:37:08war three years ago,

00:37:10allowing you to slip into

00:37:11my bed amid the chaos,

00:37:13how else would he have

00:37:14become this cheap father

00:37:16and felt guilty enough to

00:37:17search for you for three

00:37:18whole years?

00:37:19Vanessa's beautiful eyes

00:37:21flashed with a venomous

00:37:22light as she laughed and

00:37:23pinched the man, who told

00:37:24Ronan to pride himself on

00:37:26being deeply affectionate

00:37:27when he is actually a fool

00:37:28who is easily...

00:37:29The inner frustration and

00:37:31the mysterious loss of his

00:37:32kingdom's fortune drove him

00:37:33near madness.

00:37:34His mind troubled.

00:37:35He walked aimlessly through

00:37:36the streets of the main city

00:37:37and inadvertently stopped in

00:37:39front of the infirmary.

00:37:40Looking at the somewhat

00:37:41dilapidated doors, the image

00:37:42of Serafina weeping in

00:37:44absolute despair here suddenly

00:37:46flashed through his mind.

00:37:47I must be losing my mind to

00:37:48have walked all the way here.

00:37:50Just as he turned to leave,

00:37:51a stealthy figure carrying a

00:37:52bundle prepared to flee from

00:37:53inside the infirmary.

00:37:54It was the doctor from before.

00:37:55Ever since Serafina Umister

00:37:56raised her holy name and

00:37:57left, causing half of the

00:37:58tree of life to wither,

00:37:59this doctor had been

00:38:00tormented night and day by

00:38:01guilt and fear, finally

00:38:02breaking down and preparing

00:38:03to escape overnight.

00:38:04Ronan's eyes turned sharp.

00:38:06Moving like lightning, he

00:38:07materialized before the doctor,

00:38:09blocking his path.

00:38:09Where do you think you are

00:38:11running?

00:38:12What are you panicking for

00:38:13upon seeing me?

00:38:14Looking at Ronan's rage

00:38:15distorted face and thinking

00:38:16of the rampant rumors about

00:38:17the primary mistress

00:38:18disappearance and the

00:38:19sacred trees withering,

00:38:20the doctor's psychological

00:38:20defense collapsed completely

00:38:21with even needing to use a

00:38:23soul-searching technique.

00:38:24He fell to his knees in

00:38:24terror, now coating frantically

00:38:26as tears and muses

00:38:27strem down his face.

00:38:27Lord, spare my life!

00:38:29I deserve to die!

00:38:30I dare not hide it any

00:38:30longer!

00:38:31The primary mistress did

00:38:32not lie!

00:38:33She was not throwing a

00:38:33tamper fighting for effect!

00:38:35Ronan's heart skipped a

00:38:36beat, a profound sense of

00:38:37foreboding enveloping his

00:38:38entire body.

00:38:40Make yourself clear!

00:38:41What do you mean she

00:38:42didn't lie?

00:38:43It was your daughter.

00:38:44Your daughter Iris didn't

00:38:45catch an ordinary chill at

00:38:47all!

00:38:47She was poisoned with the

00:38:48highly insidious soul-eating

00:38:50grass, and her core had

00:38:51already begun to wither!

00:38:52Boom!

00:38:52The doctor's words exploded

00:38:53in Ronan's ears like a

00:38:54thunder mist, leaving his

00:38:55pail and make him sway on

00:38:56his feet.

00:39:17Ronan grabbed the terrified

00:39:18fleeing doctor by the collar, his

00:39:20eyes bloodshot like a

00:39:22cornered beast.

00:39:23Impossible!

00:39:24I checked her myself that

00:39:25day!

00:39:26Her breathing was steady and

00:39:27her temperature was normal!

00:39:29Even you personally diagnosed

00:39:30it as a common chill!

00:39:49The doctor's words cut like knives, tearing Ronan's self-rightless

00:39:55arrogant to pieces.

00:39:57Madam Vanessa bribed me and threatened my family's lives to maintain the illusion, all to make

00:40:01you believe the primary mistress was just throwing a jealous fit, so you would ignore

00:40:05the mother and daughter, leaving the little princess to die from the poison!

00:40:09And that flask of sacred tree extract.

00:40:12Hearing the word sacred tree extract, Ronan's body shook violently, his face draining of all

00:40:17color.

00:40:17That spiritual medicine was given to the primary mistress out of my sudden flash of consciousness!

00:40:21It was not only an antidote to all poisons, but the sole hope to save the little princess's

00:40:25life!

00:40:26Yet you, you detested the primary mistress and forcibly snatched that medicine away to

00:40:30secure the position of the perfectly healthy Jasper!

00:40:33Roman felt as if he'd been struck by lightning, all strength instantly draining from his body.

00:40:39Boundless darkness and immense regret swallowed him like a tsunami.

00:40:42He finally realized that Serafina had been telling the truth all along.

00:40:46It was him, he, the father, blinded by favoritism and interest, who had personally snatched away

00:40:53his daughter's life-saving strife.

00:40:55Serafina!

00:40:56Iris!

00:40:57What have I done?

00:40:59What on earth have I done?!

00:41:00Immense regret drove Ronan completely mad.

00:41:03Disregarding the blood on his lips, he scrammed back to his feet and ran back to the main hall

00:41:07like a madman.

00:41:08At this moment, he no longer cared about supreme cooperation or reaching the peak.

00:41:13He only wanted to find his wife, and save his daughter's life.

00:41:17Search!

00:41:18Mobilize all forces of the Wind Kingdom!

00:41:21Search every inch of land!

00:41:22And even if you have to hunt through the Forbidden Forest, bring back the primary mistress and

00:41:27the princess!

00:41:28Go now!

00:41:32However, one day passed, then two days, and for three whole days and nights, the elite

00:41:38high elves brought back nothing but the desperate news of no trace found.

00:41:42Serafina seemed to have dissolved into the wind, vanishing completely without a trace.

00:41:47Failing to find his wife, Ronan's grief and self-blame gradually transformed into a towering

00:41:52Merlis in test, he finally thought of the instigator, Vanessa.

00:41:56Vanessa!

00:41:57You vicious wretch!

00:41:58I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!

00:42:01Gripping the great sword of the Wind God that symbolized his kingdom's power, he strode

00:42:05toward Vanessa's bedchamber, brimming with murderous intent.

00:42:08He wanted to settle the score with that evil woman and use the blood of Vanessa and her son

00:42:13to atone for his actions against his wife and daughter.

00:42:16However, when he reached the chamber, he found it completely empty.

00:42:21Unleashing his divine sense, he followed a faint trace of magic, straight into the desolate

00:42:26The moon was dark and the wind howled through the silence of the desolate forest behind the

00:42:29temple.

00:42:30Ronan concealed his presence, moving step by step into the shadow of the ancient trees with

00:42:34his great sword.

00:42:35But before he could see clearly, faint whispers and strugglings came from the thicket, falling

00:42:38clearly into his ears.

00:42:39Slow down.

00:42:40If that fool Ronan finds out, we are dead.

00:42:43What are you afraid of?

00:42:44He is completely distracted every day because of that wretch running around the world like

00:42:47a madman.

00:42:48How could he have time for us?

00:42:49I've already coordinated with Governor Gamma.

00:42:51While he will strip the treasury of all magic crystals and public funds tonight and

00:42:54run!

00:42:54Boom!

00:42:55Ronan's mind went completely blank.

00:42:56He knew these voices all too well.

00:42:58One belonged to his chief captain of the guards, Oswin, and the other belonged to Vanessa White

00:43:01Moonlight first love he had cherished for three years.

00:43:03Ronan trembled violently, staring dead at the disheveled man and woman entwiled behind the tree.

00:43:07Speaking of which, Ronan really is an absolute fool.

00:43:10For the past three days he has been holding that fake bloodline report, comforting himself that

00:43:13Jasper is his child, completely unaware that the heir he raised with the kingdom's sacred

00:43:17medicine is actually your biological flesh and blood!

00:43:20The truth slapped Ronan across the face, shattering his remaining self-respect and pride.

00:43:24It turned out he was not only the murderer who had personally pushed his biological daughter

00:43:28to her death, but also the world's biggest fool who had raised a bastard child for a pair

00:43:31of adulterers for three years the kingdom was being eustarpted.

00:43:43The other half of his chief captain of the judge able to keep him off his friends.

00:43:49Insolent fools!

00:43:50You will pay for this!

00:43:52Unleashing and debunked his soul, Laodwenhohn, thet eruptives the great sword

00:43:55dream of rock with unleashingly sentimental cears and the century brain people flying.

00:43:58Oswin and Vanessa screamed as they hit the ground, when Vanessa saw Ronan, who stood there

00:44:02with overwhelming ferocity.

00:44:04She lost her wits in terror

00:44:06Ronan, listen to me explain, it's not what it looks like

00:44:09Shut up, you vicious horn, I will kill you

00:44:12Oswin and Ronan had a Zostan invite

00:44:14And realized Zord off course due to a lax limit at the magic

00:44:17Though this strike his teeth, he pulled Vanessa up

00:44:19And pringzled several poisonous smoke bombs

00:44:21With a loud explosion, a toxic mist filled the area

00:44:23By the time the storm blew the mist away

00:44:25The disheveled couple had all fledged the wind forest

00:44:27Using their familiarity with the de-ground

00:44:29As the cold wind blew, he looked around at the empty surroundings

00:44:32Appearing as though he had aged a hundred years

00:44:34Ronan fell to his knees

00:44:36His fingers digging into the dirt

00:44:38As he wept desperately

00:44:40Like a beaten dog in the dead of night

00:45:17Meanwhile, inside the flawless radiant temple of life in the supreme sanctuary

00:45:21Iris had completely recovered

00:45:23She was now dressed in garments woven from the rarest golden silk

00:45:26And sitting in a cradle carved from 10,000 year old Munwa jiggling and blowing bubbles

00:45:30The supreme divine mark on her forehead flowed with brilliant colors

00:45:33Exuding an incredibly noble bloodline

00:45:36Standing beside the cradle, Serafina gently played with her daughter

00:45:39Her eyes filled only with maternal love

00:45:41As for the past humiliations and affection

00:45:44The high elfin king slowly walked over to his daughter

00:45:46Looking at his reborn granddaughter with affection

00:45:48He then turned a serious gaze toward Serafina

00:45:51My daughter, I have already ordered a complete block out

00:45:54Against all past complications with the Wind Kingdom

00:45:57Now that your bloodline has fully awakened

00:46:00And the supreme natural wings have grown behind your back

00:46:03It is time for you to assume your rightful responsibilities

00:46:06Serafina withdrawed her hand and turned to face her father

00:46:09Her gaze calm and instaurative

00:46:10Completely deblined of mortal weakness

00:46:12Father, I understand

00:46:13Romantic attachments are nothing but a self-inflicted trap

00:46:16Only supreme power can allow me to control my destiny

00:46:19And protect my iris for a lifetime of peace

00:46:23The father laughed with relief and immediately announced

00:46:25Good!

00:46:26I have already issued a decree to all kingdoms

00:46:28That the sanctuary ceremony will begin shortly

00:46:31You will officially inherit the throne

00:46:32And become the first high elfin queen of our supreme sanctuary in 10,000 years

00:46:37Meanwhile, the Wind Kingdom, far at the edge of the continent

00:46:39Had fallen into a perilous situation

00:46:41Due to Vanessa and Oswin's betrayal and thief of the funds

00:46:44A fierce internal conflict erupted within the kingdom

00:46:46Worse still, because Serafina had erased her holy name

00:46:49And severed the tree of life withered

00:46:50Causing the kingdom's overall magic to rapidly decline

00:46:53And their barrier to...

00:46:54Romans sat on his broken throne

00:46:56Emaciated and covered in stubble

00:46:57Showing none of his past glory as a lord

00:47:00Just then, an old servant

00:47:01Tremblingly presented a gathering order from the supreme sanctuary

00:47:05My lord, a divine oracle has arrived from the supreme sanctuary

00:47:09The new supreme empress is about to ascend the throne

00:47:12And the coronation ceremony requires all kingdoms to pay homage

00:47:15Does our kingdom attend?

00:47:17A final ember of fanatical hope erupted in Ronan's eyes

00:47:23He had no heart to manage the kingdom's mundane affairs

00:47:26Because he knew time was running out for the Wind Kingdom

00:47:28Their only salvation lay in aligning with the supreme sanctuary

00:47:32Go!

00:47:33Prepare the highest specification of gifts

00:47:36And the entire kingdom will accompany me to the sanctuary to pay homage

00:47:41Tupian-1 gripped the order tightly as if catching a final saving straw

00:47:44I have heard that this Nuhai-His-Ha-Welf is the swat of the Rektor Bloodlines

00:47:47I'm possessing immense warfare

00:47:49And I'm our own trove just sending

00:47:50Along as we act as a perfectly submissive

00:47:52In respect to Tukumarga's protection from that steamius empress

00:47:55Our kingdom will be completely saved

00:47:57Little did he know

00:47:59The opportunity he was so desperate to grovel for

00:48:02Belonged to the very wife he had personally pushed into the abyss

00:48:17Before the sanctuary coronation ceremony

00:48:19The Fynding walked to Belonged to rest in the simplest Eid at the Secre-Shanth edge of Shangguang-Tung's out

00:48:23It and Nate stood a loon on the noon and the other

00:48:25Drathing below Sugatis and Mar the day of Trun-Shempil

00:48:27Surging through above Fort Nereid

00:48:29Ronan's mins raised it cursed as if something canate was awakening within that divine light

00:48:32Images of Seraphina began to flash uncontrollably through his mind

00:48:36Her shyness when they first met

00:48:39Her tenderness when healing his wounds

00:48:41And her cold, resoluced gaze

00:48:44As she left the withered tower holding their daughter

00:48:47Aloina walked up behind him wearing a cloak

00:48:50Looking at her distracted son

00:48:52She let out a deep sigh

00:48:54Roran, stop thinking about it

00:48:55Tomorrow is the critical day to meet the Supreme Empress

00:48:58The survival of our Wind Kingdom relies entirely on this single action

00:49:01You must not lose your composure

00:49:03Rayon withdraw his gaze

00:49:04Cripping his racing chest

00:49:05A bitter smile playing on his lips

00:49:07Mother, I was just thinking Rafina was still here

00:49:09With her pure bloodline would she also be happy for me

00:49:12Seeing this grand sight of ten thousand kingdoms paying homage tomorrow

00:49:14Regrettably

00:49:14And no one could answer his belated affection and self-reflection

00:50:07On the day of the ceremony

00:50:08The supreme sanctuary shone with magnificent golden light, piercing the sky.

00:50:12The entire sacred mountain was to look invincible.

00:50:14Holy unicorns soared through the air as tribal leaders and ancient deities gathered to elders.

00:50:19Meanwhile, Riz Misli in the most remote corner at the outmost edge of the main hall,

00:50:22not even daring to raise their heads.

00:50:24As a sacred ancient bell echoed through the heavens, a grand and vast chant filled the world.

00:50:28Silence across all kingdoms! We welcome the ascension of Her Majesty, the High Elfin Queen!

00:50:34A supreme throne radiating immense authority slowly rose from the center of the tree.

00:50:39Ronan and his mother Aleda pressed their heads firmly against the freezing floor tiles,

00:50:43their bodies trembling violently under the supreme bloodline pressure that descended from above.

00:50:47Near of a strange procession under the immense pressure, Ronan managed to raise his head with great difficulty,

00:50:51wanting to look upon the mysterious Antress who could save his kingdom's life.

00:50:54However, when his gaze pierced through the golden light and clearly saw the figure sitting upon the supreme throne,

00:51:02the massive natural wings unfurled behind her back, and the daughter she held in her arms, sucking her fing.

00:51:09Roman's pupils shrank violently in an instant as if struck by lightning, his breath catching completely in his throat.

00:51:15That face, that noble, cold and peerless High Elven Queen who ruled over the entire sanctuary,

00:51:22was actually Serafina!

00:51:31Serafina!

00:51:32Ronan's startled cry shattered the silence of the temple.

00:51:34High Priestess Alonda looked up and recognized the beautiful Empress radiating absolute authority from the altar.

00:51:39She misconnected.

00:51:40I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong!

00:51:42Please the useless woman they had trampled in the withered town!

00:51:45Two golden spears struck down with the force of natural law.

00:51:52She looked down upon him, who lay like a dead dog at the bottom of the steps while Iris blew

00:51:56bubbles in her arms.

00:51:57There was no hatred in her eyes.

00:51:58Only the disgust one would feel looking at an open sewer.

00:52:02Ronan, do you think you are worthy of speaking my holy name?

00:52:05Do you think you are worthy of calling my daughter's name?

00:52:07A golden beam of law became a massive hand of divine power and struck Fethi Ronan across the face.

00:52:12Slap!

00:52:12Half of his facial bones shatter against.

00:52:14And this slap is for your blindest side of his face and him comb-scheming woman to true wife.

00:52:18Slap!

00:52:19The harder backhand twisted your utter lack of conscience for personally stealing your biological daughter's life-saving medicine.

00:52:26The leaders of the various kingdoms expressed their disdain and spit in disapproval.

00:52:31Clutching his swollen face, self-respect was publicly trampled before all kingdoms.

00:52:37His reputation was completely destroyed.

00:52:45And that was...

00:52:45His reputation was highly satisfied.

00:52:51Just discovered that I had to walk away from your body and work to be a lonely-by-whole.

00:52:52And that was the only one who was born to be a human being.

00:52:52For that, if you don't know where to be, I think you're ahome human being.

00:52:54That means you're very genuinely obsessed.

00:52:54Why are you seeing your mind as you're kind of shook me?

00:52:55When you are thinking about that, you're thinking about the lies of the aliens being, you're thinking about what you're

00:52:55doing,

00:52:55What are you going to see if you're wondering what you're talking about?

00:52:58Well, what do you think about this?

00:53:24Yes! I deserve to be beaten!

00:53:26I am a beast!

00:53:27Sir, I mean, as long as you vent your anger, you can talk to me however you like.

00:53:30Just please let me rest our daughter kingdom!

00:53:32Ronan, once a proud general, now knelt in the dust.

00:53:35His pleas echoed, empty and desperate.

00:53:37Seeing an opportunity, Alita cast aside all dignity and began cobicating frantically.

00:53:41Your divine majesty for the sub-the-wind kingdom being of the royal family thousand years,

00:53:45please stay your hand and save our withering tree of life!

00:53:47Looking at the mother and icon who were still calculating for benefits even now,

00:53:51the mockery on Serafina's boobs deepened to the extreme.

00:53:54Save you?

00:53:55The wind kingdom only enjoyed its past glory because I nourished it with my supreme source power,

00:53:59since you will reclaim everything I granted you.

00:54:01She slowly raised her hand, curving her fingers,

00:54:03and made a grasping motion toward Ronan and Alashian from afar.

00:54:05In an instant, the ancient wind lords inside Ronan and Alina,

00:54:09which had been granted by the royal family,

00:54:11turned into strands of golden light and were violently stripped from their bones and souls!

00:54:15My magic!

00:54:17My cultivation!

00:54:22It was a stripping process more painful than death.

00:54:24Within moments, Ronan's cultivation plummeted from a high tea lord to something inferior,

00:54:28even to an ordinary low-tier elf,

00:54:29turning him into a complete and vital.

00:54:30Pass down my divine adzutkane funtai,

00:54:32zubikirin of the wardkin to point of his lead age,

00:54:34be reduced to sinful withered wood,

00:54:35forbidden from ever entering the sanctuary.

00:54:37Someone, throw this disgusting pile of garbage out!

00:54:39A divine guard kicked Ronan hard in the abdomen,

00:54:42sending the two broken, stripped, and thoroughly disgraced wretcheds

00:54:46tumbling down the nine layers of the altar,

00:54:48amid the laughter of all kingdoms!

00:55:00Internal conflict spread like wildfire through the Wind Kingdom,

00:55:03and the anger of the lower-tier elves completely overthrew the main manor.

00:55:05Meanwhile, lying on a bed in a side pavile,

00:55:08the old woman Elina trembled inside the empty room.

00:55:10She had previously been blinded by greed-seek accepting mass amounts of illicit wealth

00:55:13from Vanessa, Oswin, and Gamma to secure their positions.

00:55:15Even the forceful snatching of Iris' sacred tree extract

00:55:17had been driven largely by 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 Jasper,

00:55:25whom she had cherished night and day as the future hope of the kingdom,

00:55:27was confirmed to be nothing to dirty bastard.

00:55:29The heavy and terrifying karmic backlack transformed into invisible bullets,

00:55:32cutting at her guilty soul night and day.

00:55:34The extreme fear and massive mental shock

00:55:36drove the normally arrogant and harsh old woman completely sane.

00:55:40That night, as the sounds of rioting echo outside,

00:55:43the old woman ended her guilty life

00:55:45with a white silk cord hanging from a beam in the cold, lonely main manor.

00:55:50The next morning, when Ronan pushed open the door

00:55:54and saw his mother's stiff body hanging in mid-air,

00:55:58he only let out a few horny, tragic laughs,

00:56:01unable to squeeze out even a single tear.

00:56:39Meanwhile, thousands of miles away from the Wind Kingdom at the frozen border,

00:56:43an incredibly luxurious sacred carriage was hurtling through the sky.

00:56:46The carriage compartment was stuffed with radiant, rare treasures,

00:56:48the entire foundation of the Wind Kingdom,

00:56:50that Vanessa and Chief Cap 2 Wolves shone only with absolute Oz greed for wealth.

00:56:54Vanessa, this chest of divine items belongs to me!

00:56:58Without my guard team coordinating,

00:56:59you wouldn't have even made it out the main gates of the manor.

00:57:02Nonsense! Without the Lord's Talisman that I stole,

00:57:05what would you even be?

00:57:06These treasures are my reliance for the rest of my life!

00:57:08Don't you dare take a single penny!

00:57:09In the face of interest, their past familiarity vanished completely.

00:57:12Due to an unfair distribution of the spoils,

00:57:14malice erupted in both of them,

00:57:15and they immediately engaged in a fierce magical brawl inside the narrow carriage.

00:57:19Wild windblades and toxic mist clashed violently inside the compartment,

00:57:23creating continuous loud explosions.

00:57:25As the out-of-control carriage traveled along a highly treacherous mountain path,

00:57:28the draft bears panicked and went wild!

00:57:33No! No!

00:57:37Damn! Damn it!

00:57:40Amid a piercing streak,

00:57:42the out-of-control carriage plunged off the cliff edge,

00:57:45carrying the couple and the treasures they had schemed so hard to steal,

00:57:48crashing heavily into the boulder-street bottom of the deep valley.

00:58:11Beneath the deep valley, the rain poured heavily.

00:58:13The carriage had shattered completely,

00:58:15with broken wood and magic crystals scattered across the ground.

00:58:18Amid the rubble,

00:58:19the bodies of Vanessa and Oshwick lay twisted together,

00:58:21torn apart by the wild magic to the point of being unrecognizable,

00:58:25dying an incredibly gruesome death.

00:58:27That green tea face that had once used illusion potions

00:58:30to maintain a false appearance of perfection

00:58:32was now sliced and bloodied by the rocks.

00:58:37Buzz.

00:58:38Space rippled slightly as several royal guards clad in pure gold robes

00:58:41quietly descended upon the crash site.

00:58:43Serafina did not even need to act personally,

00:58:45merely sending the sanctuary's cleanup group to wrap things up.

00:58:48This is the heavenly karma for those who betray her majesty.

00:58:51The guards raised their hands, golden lights surging from from their palms.

00:58:55As the magic arenas activated,

00:58:56the scattered ancient treasures and sacred resource of the Wind Kingdom

00:58:59were entirely gathered and reclaimed.

00:59:01These items carried a significant amount of fortune,

00:59:03and now that they were continuously funneled into the treasury of the Supreme always had.

00:59:06The villains had calculated everything,

00:59:09only to lose their lives in the end,

00:59:11and turn the Wind Kingdom's thousands of years of accumulation

00:59:15into a stepping stone to secure Serafia's supreme royal power,

00:59:19which was ironic to the extreme.

00:59:41Having lost everything,

00:59:42he sank completely into boundless darkness.

00:59:44He had no mother,

00:59:45no kingdom,

00:59:45and no status to pride himself on.

00:59:47Whenever night fell across the empty ruins,

00:59:48he seemed to hear her gentle voices

00:59:50and another's painful cries from her swaddling clothes.

00:59:52Those memories transformed into the most brutal torture,

00:59:54tearing his mind apart bit by bit.

00:59:56Serafina,

00:59:57look,

00:59:57I brought the sweetest spring water for our daughter today.

01:00:00He began to exhibit severe 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 have snatched

01:00:07his daughter's life-saving medicine.

01:00:09At other times,

01:00:10he would embrace the empty air gently,

01:00:12pretending his wife and child were still by 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 in alcohol all day,

01:00:23his mind becoming increasingly fractured,

01:00:25as he remained trapped indefinitely

01:00:26within the endless regret he had personally fashioned.

01:00:35He won.

01:01:02God bless you!

01:01:03You're welcome!

01:01:04See you next time!

01:01:04you're welcome!

01:01:04God bless you!

01:01:04.

01:01:43Roman curled up in the corner of a freezing stone seat, his clothes tattered, his once-proud spine broken by

01:01:50regret.

01:01:51His hands were blooded and his fingernails filled with mud from frantically digging through the rubble for garments Seraphana had

01:01:57left behind.

01:02:13Ronion was completely deaf to these mocks, merely clutching a tattered cloth doll tightly to his chest, a toy he

01:02:19had fashioned for Iris from memory.

01:02:21Since his magic was entirely gone, his appearance was aging at a visible rate, his long hair turning into dry

01:02:27white strands.

01:02:28Whenever the harsh alcohol hit his throat, he would begin to self-harm.

01:02:33He used sharp stones to carve the name Seraphina deeply into his arms, drawing blood, yet it could not stop

01:02:41the splitting pain in his chest.

01:02:43Ha ha ha! Seraphina! This is retribution! This is my retribution!

01:02:50You let me live, only to find that every second of being alive is an absolute hell!

01:02:58The once high and mighty king had ultimately transformed into a mentally-degranged madman fighting with wild dogs for food

01:03:05in the ruins.

01:03:06Death would be a merciful release for him, and remaining conscious to endure this life sentence of regret was his

01:03:12ultimate punishment.

01:03:14As for Jasper, the three-year-old fake he who had been pampered by the entire kingdom, he was, after

01:03:19all, 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 flamberty 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, and

01:03:33the silver of magic he had forced out by stealing iris sacred tree extract completely withered due to a lack

01:03:38of 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.

01:03:51Father, this 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.

01:04:15He was sent to a remote village far from power struggles, becoming an ordinary orphan who knew nothing of his

01:04:21birth 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, with past severing her ties, completely submission, weakness, and ridiculous

01:04:39mortal affection, to 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.

01:04:47Not only was the supreme bloodline within her body fully awakened, but her large eyes shone as brightly as a

01:04:51galaxy.

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.

01:04:59Mother, it's so beautiful here. Will anyone dare to bully us from now on?

01:05:06Seraphana looked down, gently stroking the brilliant supreme golden mark on her forehead, her eyes filled with maternal resolve.

01:05:14No, my darling. From this day forward, Mother will protect you, and no one will ever be able to harm

01:05:19you in the slightest.

01:05:21Mother and daughter sat side by side upon the divine throne. Beneath their feet lay the vast, prospering territory of

01:05:25the Elven royal family.

01:05:26The Empress, who had cast aside romantic attachments, now stood alone in her divinity, ruling over the sanctuary and beginning

01:05:31a legendary era that belonged entirely to them.

01:05:33The Empress Beard
