Short filmTranscript
00:00It's common knowledge among the elite that Lord Gulld loves to play twisted games.
00:04As a phoenix, who ranks highest among all the beast men,
00:07whenever he collects 10 canaries, he will hold an elimination.
00:10Canaries are slave girls who are doomed to be preyed on by covetous beast men,
00:14unless they were to be mated with a spiritual beast and thus transformed to be one of them.
00:19That's how Lord Gulld provides them with such a chance.
00:21A chance to transform and reborn.
00:24Canaries kills and fights to death.
00:26Some may die.
00:27Those who survive the game advance to the next round.
00:30Whoever wins all 100 rounds will become his mate.
00:33And Clarissa happened to be the one who made it to the 99 round.
00:36She was ruthless enough to play through all his games without uttering a word.
00:40The gaze of Lord Gulld fell upon Clarissa.
00:42The gaze grew increasingly admiring,
00:44till it could no longer be concealed and Lord Gulld started to bring her to the court with great fanfare.
00:50Then the duel day befell.
00:52Clarissa's victory seems to be secured.
00:56But things were overturned in the interval.
00:58She saw Lord Gulld corner Rebecca outside the Coliseum before the game began and kiss her passionately.
01:03The fifth bullet in the gun is a live round.
01:07I'll remember that.
01:08Hearing this, Clarissa felt as if an invisible hand were squeezing her heart.
01:13The pain was so intense that it nearly choked her.
01:16The game had already begun.
01:18She watched as Rebecca received the cheat code and fired second, her heart clenching suddenly.
01:22As long as she kept playing, she was bound to lose this round.
01:35As long as the words left his mouth, a wave of suggested cheering erupted around them.
01:43Those Lincoln Lord's round whistle, their eyes darting between him and Clarissa, their tones teasing.
01:50I won't concede.
01:52I want to play.
01:54Interesting.
01:57Let's get this over quickly then.
01:58Risa, I'm looking forward to using our new toy with you tonight.
02:02How ridiculous.
02:03He clearly already helped Rebecca cheat, yet he still had to put on this act of deep affection.
02:08Clarissa's heart felt as if it were submerged in ice water, numb with coldness.
02:12The next moment, she took a deep breath, said firmly,
02:15I'm prepared.
02:16Soon, everyone was in position, and the game began.
02:20Clarissa drew the first card and picked up the revolver,
02:22pointing the barrel at her own chest and gently pulling the trigger.
02:27It was a blank.
02:29A collective sigh of relief filled the coliseum.
02:32Some even began placing their bats.
02:36It was Rebecca's turn next.
02:38The girl's hand trembled slightly with fear, yet she pulled the trigger without hesitation.
02:43Another blank.
02:44With another two blank shots, the revolver returned to Clarissa.
02:49Her heart began to race with anticipation, because Lord Gauld had said the fifth shot would be a bullet.
02:54Clarissa's whole body trembled uncontrollably, her eyes welled up with tears, and her vision gradually blurred.
03:00The slip of paper that had been drawn first had also been deliberately arranged by Lord Gauld,
03:04with the sole purpose of making her lose.
03:06At that moment, Clarissa's heart leapt into her throat.
03:09She stared intently at Lord Gauld, waiting for him to call a halt.
03:13But he just watched quietly, a faint smile even playing at the corners of his mouth,
03:17making no attempt whatsoever to stop this unfair game.
03:20Second by second, time ticked by, and Lord Gauld's brows twitched.
03:25Risa, don't be afraid.
03:27You'll definitely be the winner in the end.
03:29Clarissa gave a bitter smile, then finally, with trembling hands, aimed the gun at her own chest.
03:40The bullet struck her chest with a thud.
03:42Although the specially made rubber bullet wasn't lethal, the pain was so intense she could barely breathe.
03:47Rebecca faked a scream in shock.
03:50I'm, I'm so sorry Risa dear, I didn't know it would be like this.
03:55Lord Gauld slowly stood up.
03:56That's fine, I'll keep my promise.
03:58No sooner had the words left his mouth than he bent down and picked up the startled Rebecca,
04:02cradling her in his arms.
04:03His movements were steady, exuding an unquestionable dominance.
04:08You've let me down Risa.
04:13It wasn't until his figure disappeared through the doorway that the tears welling up in Clarissa's eyes finally overflowed.
04:19This game had never been fair, the winner has already been chosen on his whim, whomever he liked.
04:25Clarissa wiped away her tears, picked up a wine glass left over by the Lords, and drained it in one
04:29gulp.
04:30Once outside, she clutched her aching chest, and with trembling hands held back a familiar guard who was heading for
04:35Lord Gauld's castle.
04:37Tell Lord Gauld I'll be there in seven days, at his mating ceremony.
04:42After returning to the private room that Lord Gauld made for her, Clarissa took a deep gulp of laudanum.
04:47Having gone through the game 99 times before, her body had long since grown accustomed to pain, but now, it
04:53hurts more than ever.
04:54She stared blankly into the portrait.
04:56At the time, she had asked him smilingly if this counted as breaking the rules of the game.
05:01It's my game, and I am the rule.
05:07You will always be the reason I break the rules.
05:09But now, for someone else, he had not only broken the rules.
05:13With a cold sneer, he stood by and watched as she, like a clown, was shot down in a humiliating
05:19display.
05:22That night, Lord Gauld didn't come to her.
05:25Ambiguous noises came from the next door, from the private room of Rebecca.
05:29Clarissa heard him panting in forensic low voice.
05:32She couldn't help herself but slipped out of her room and peeped through the keyhole.
05:35Lord Gauld held Rebecca close, indulging himself in every corner of her body.
05:41Lord Gauld's ferocious, lust-filled expression was something even Clarissa had never seen before.
05:46She saw Rebecca's reddish cheeks and convoluted lips moaning interruptingly.
05:50Risa, you've seen how addicted Lord Gauld is to me.
05:54Clarissa stared at fingertips on the knob turning slightly white as she fought hard to hold back her tears.
05:59Desperately, Clarissa's body slid slowly down the frame of the door, eyes upward.
06:04She murmured.
06:08Grandma, tell me.
06:09What should I do?
06:11Help me.
06:14She remembered the moment when she first met Lord Gauld.
06:17Her grandma, also a slave, frail and feeble in her dotage, was counted as the useless in the realm.
06:22The useless will be the food.
06:24Beast men coveted around her, waiting to cut her into pieces.
06:28Just as Clarissa cried out begging for mercy, Lord Gauld descended like a god,
06:33expelling the hungry beast men, saving the old women from their claws,
06:36and casually handing Clarissa a ticket to his elimination game.
06:40He looked at her like she was prey, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.
06:43It's just a game.
06:45If you play it right, there's nothing to lose.
06:47Even though she wasn't the member of the aristocrats,
06:49she'd heard rumors that Lord Gauld was a bit of a psychopath.
06:52He organized these elimination games because he'd been betrayed by someone he deeply loved years ago.
06:57Since then, he'd stopped believing in love, taking pleasure only in toying with women,
07:02eager to see just how far these women would go to mate him.
07:06Without hesitation, Clarissa accepted the ticket.
07:09She wanted a ladder that could raise her to the top of this caste pyramid
07:12where she no longer needed to be afraid of being eaten nor worrying about her grandmother's life.
07:17In the game, Lord Gauld sat arrogantly on his throne
07:19as he watched countless women fight to death for the throne of Lady Gauld.
07:28Clarissa gritted her teeth and endured 99 rounds of his twisted game,
07:32holding her breath underwater for 7 minutes, lying in a cabinet with a snake, eating live cockroaches.
07:37Those twisted games that would have sent others screaming into hysterics,
07:40she endured them all without uttering a sound.
07:43One round involved skydiving.
07:45A competitor, knife in hand and eyes bloodshot, snatched the only parachute.
07:50Clarissa's arm was injured, and she lost her parachute.
07:59Just as despair set in, a crackling static sound came through her eardrowns.
08:04You've already won over 40 rounds.
08:06I never expected you'd end up here.
08:08Any last words?
08:09Clarissa closed her eyes and said,
08:11Take care of my grandmother, please.
08:14His deep laughter echoed through the clouds, and Clarissa closed her eyes.
08:18She jumped.
08:19She thought that she was dead.
08:27She found herself landing on soft feathers.
08:30Only a phoenix could possess feathers with such luster.
08:34She woke to find herself in Lord Gauld's room.
08:37Have you dreamed about me while sleeping upon my feathers?
08:40I'll count this round as your win, because I changed my mind at the last minute.
08:44The boldest one takes all.
08:48Do you still want to play the game?
08:50If you quit now, you'll be free.
08:52She didn't say a word, but simply embraced him.
08:54The next second, Lord Gauld was suddenly overcome with joy.
08:58He cupped the back of her head and kissed her deeply.
09:01Clarissa, from this moment on, you are mine.
09:04I will give you everything I have.
09:09He spared no expense, establishing a mansion for her, granting her the freedom to wander about in his castle, and
09:15even publicly introducing her to the court and made all his subordinate call her by ladyship.
09:22Even when his former love, the woman who had betrayed him years ago, returned, publicly humiliated Clarissa, and begged him
09:29in tears to take her back.
09:30He didn't hesitate, but grabbed a wine cup and smashed it viciously over her head, then tossed her into the
09:35wilderness of the Forbidden Land to be torn to pieces.
09:40Anyone else who dares to humiliate my lady, step forward.
09:47Clarissa was favored by Lord Gauld so much that everyone believed she was the special one among all the women
09:52that he played with.
09:53He made her believe she was the one, the one who could make him believe that he was in love
09:56again.
09:59Now she realized that it had all been nothing but her own delusion.
10:05Clarissa returned to her room, sitting alone all night.
10:09Rebecca's provocative words echoed in her mind.
10:11It wasn't until the next morning that she heard the sound of the door lock turning.
10:15Lord Gauld was at the door.
10:17Don't tell me that you didn't sleep all night just to wait for me, Risa.
10:20Are you going for a bath?
10:22Yet a hint of joy flickered in his eyes as he walked over.
10:25I know you're feeling this way because you lost the game.
10:27The victor takes all, that's the rule of the game.
10:30Rebecca was the final winner.
10:32I was supposed to mate her.
10:34He paused, pulled a glittering pink diamond ring from his pocket, and gently kissed her neck.
10:40But you are mine.
10:41I'm allowing you to play one more round to reclaim the throne.
10:44This is a privilege I'm granting you.
10:46So next time, you must win.
10:49Win?
10:49Clarissa found it utterly ironic.
10:52She clearly had a 50-50 chance of winning.
10:54It was he who'd personally taken her crown and handed it to Rebecca.
10:57She remembered the game rules clearly.
10:59Whoever won the final round would become his mate.
11:02Now that Rebecca had won, this gift for her was nothing more than a token gesture.
11:06Lord Gauld noticed her stiffness.
11:08What's the matter, Ressa?
11:10Are you unhappy?
11:13Used to fight tooth and nail every time just to win me over.
11:16He was certain she would cry and throw a tantrum, demanding answers, just like the other women who had been
11:21eliminated before.
11:23But Clarissa merely raised her eyes indifferently.
11:27No, I don't care.
11:30Lord Gaulday, from this moment on, I'm out of the game.
11:35Lord Gauld's expression froze.
11:37You're quitting?
11:39Say that again?
11:40Lord Gaulday, I'm not playing your game anymore.
11:44I'll leave you, and I won't bother you.
11:47You can be with Rebecca.
11:49Get dressed and come with me right now.
11:52Let's see what you've done.
11:55Without a word, Lord Gauld dragged Clarissa into the carriage.
11:59The carriage ran at breakneck speed.
12:01Lord Gauld's face tense the entire way, offering Clarissa no explanation whatsoever.
12:05The carriage pulled up at an abandoned granary.
12:08There lain Rebecca, who was bound tightly with ropes.
12:11Lord Gauld rushed over to untie the ropes, then pulled her into a tight embrace.
12:15His eyes read with concern.
12:18Don't be afraid, Becky.
12:20You're safe now.
12:21Rebecca clung to him, sobbing, then turned to look timidly at Clarissa.
12:27Clarissa?
12:29If you didn't want me near Lord Gaulday, I would have left.
12:33But why did you have someone beat me up?
12:35Lord Gaulday, I didn't have anyone beat her up.
12:38Do you believe me?
12:39Clarissa's gaze fixed solely on Lord Gauld.
12:42Yet when his narrow eyes met Clarissa's, the disappointment and disgust were clear.
12:46She's an orphan who never stirs up trouble.
12:48Besides you, who's jealous that she won the game, who else would hurt her?
12:53You win some, you lose some.
12:56Clarissa, if you're playing dirty, it's you who can't handle the game.
13:00Lord Gated, I told you, I didn't.
13:04Lord Gaulday, I'm fine.
13:07Actually, I don't blame Sister Clarissa.
13:10She just loves you too much.
13:13Lord Gauld gave a cold laugh, picked up Rebecca, but he called over several guards.
13:21The new lady is being bullied by the old lady.
13:24The old lady deserves to be punished.
13:28The guards immediately twisted Clarissa's arms behind her back.
13:31Your Highness, how should we punish her?
13:33Lord Gauld gave Clarissa a stern look, then lowered his head and asked Rebecca softly.
13:38Let my new lady decide the punishment.
13:40Clarissa's heart was stabbed once again.
13:42Back then, after every elimination game, he had given Clarissa the right to punish the eliminated contestants.
13:48Clarissa was soft-hearted.
13:49She would simply tell those women to leave Lord Gauld.
13:52Leave Lord Gated without punishment.
13:54But now, Rebecca pretended to be harmless.
13:56Lord Gaulday, I'm not familiar with your game's rules.
13:59Whatever the punishment was before, let's stick to that now.
14:02Didn't you hear what the lady said?
14:04Shortly after, Clarissa was dragged into the castle by guards, pinned to the ground, and mercilessly whipped with a salt
14:09-soaked lash.
14:10Meanwhile, in the room next door, Lord Gauld and Rebecca were locked in a passionate embrace, their moans intertwining with
14:16her screams, filling the entire castle.
14:20Clarissa's flesh was torn open by the lashes, but her heart ached even more.
14:25She recalled that day when they had kissed deeply, confirming their feelings for one another.
14:30Lord Gauld held Clarissa in his arms.
14:32Clarissa, don't worry.
14:33In every game from now on, I won't let you lose.
14:37She lived up to his expectations, giving her all in every game and outwitting her opponents.
14:42Of course, many of her rivals hated her with vengeance, even teaming up to cheat and try to destroy her.
14:47Yet, fueled by her love for Lord Gauld, Clarissa always managed to turn danger into safety, only to be swept
14:53into his arms in triumph.
14:55Those women who had raged and screamed in the game, even resorting to underhanded tricks to harm her, would be
15:00bound and flogged in this manner, forced to listen to the sounds of their lovemaking all night long.
15:05But now, this punishment had finally come to her.
15:08Lord Gauld had, after all, left her injured.
15:12As dawn began to break, Lord Gauld emerged, wrapped in a bathrobe.
15:18Call my family healer.
15:20Treat her properly.
15:21Don't let her die.
15:22Clarissa lost consciousness.
15:24When she woke up again, she was lying on the couch.
15:26You're awake?
15:27Lord Gauld has taken Lady R to the banquet celebrating the game's victory.
15:31He wants you to get dressed and join them once you're awake.
15:35The butler relayed his instructions with a calm expression.
15:41I beg your pardon, but I need to go back to the farmhouse to visit my grandmother.
15:45Today is the day of her rebirth, and Lord Gauld knows about this.
15:48It was the reward for her 99 clear game.
15:51I'll grant the chance of rebirth for your grandmother.
15:54I will always keep this kindness in my heart.
15:56But the very next second...
15:58What are you doing? I said I'm not going!
15:59Lord Gauld knows my grandmother is going to her self-cremation today!
16:03Self-cremation.
16:04The essential but the most dangerous process for every slave's transformation.
16:09Corpus burned, spirit revived.
16:11But once erred, both extinguished.
16:14Get off me! Let go of me!
16:16Lord Gauld knows everything!
16:17Let me go to my grandma!
16:18The beast guards roughly dressed her in a gown and shoved her into the carriage.
16:22The pain was so intense she felt like she was suffocating.
16:26In the past, Lord Gauld would accompany her to the farmhouse to visit her grandmother every month.
16:31But today...
16:32Lord Gaulday, who is this beautiful lady?
16:35This is my new consort.
16:37When they arrived at the banquet hall...
16:38Clarissa, today is the celebration for Becky's winning the championship.
16:42As her senior you should be offering your congratulations.
16:45Yet you've come empty-handed.
16:46Are you trying to embarrass her?
16:48Perhaps you think I shouldn't have won.
16:50After all, you won the first 99 rounds?
16:51I've already dropped out of the game.
16:53I have no obligation to celebrate her success.
16:56Lord Gauld, today is the day my grandmother's self-cremation.
16:59I need to go see her.
17:00Let me go!
17:00On such a joyous day, must you bring up that pathetic crane?
17:03Then what will it take for you to let me go?
17:07What will it take?
17:09Lord Gauld's gaze hardened as he kissed Rebecca right in front of her.
17:12Let my new queen make her demands.
17:16Let's have our dear Clarissa stripped naked riding a donkey around the Coliseum three times.
17:22This is the punishment for adulterers!
17:24You mustn't treat me like this!
17:28Good.
17:29Let's do this.
17:31Lord Gade,
17:32what if I don't want to?
17:35When have you ever had the right to say no to me?
17:43And they quickly got her striped naked.
17:47They mocked at her, grinning.
17:49My goodness!
17:50You've lost everything down to your skin!
17:55And you still have the nerve to negotiate with Lord Gauldein!
17:58These were the same ones who had previously addressed her as Lady Gauld at every turn,
18:01becoming Rebecca's supporters.
18:03In no time, a scrawny donkey was led up to her snorting at her.
18:06Clarissa's heart was suddenly gripped so tightly it felt numb with pain.
18:09With a wall of guard standing behind her, there was no way she could escape.
18:13She still had to visit her grandmother.
18:15I hope you keep your word.
18:16Once you're done, let me go.
18:20Clarissa choked back a sob, slowly got onto the back of that donkey.
18:24The crowd around her gasped in unison.
18:26She rode the donkey stepping out of the gate of the castle.
18:28The crowd outside was staring at her with lustful eyes.
18:31But someone suddenly egged the crowd on and stopped the donkey.
18:34As the donkey braided in a sudden...
18:43Clarissa grabbed her clothes, threw them on haphazardly, and stumbled out.
18:48Heavy rain had begun to fall at some point outside the castle.
18:51She managed to get on a motorbike with a beast guard and rushed to the farmhouse.
18:54As soon as she burst into the farmhouse, she realized her grandmother wasn't there.
18:59The ritual had already begun.
19:03She searched frantically everywhere until she saw the burnt haystack.
19:06The blood in Clarissa's veins froze.
19:08Grab him!
19:09She let out a heart-wrenching scream and threw herself into the dust.
19:12The world seemed to be spinning, and the next moment, she fainted.
19:16When she opened her eyes, the neighbor nanny came to see her.
19:18Clarissa, I know you're heartbroken, but your grandmother won't come back, so you need to take care of yourself.
19:24After all, you're pregnant.
19:26The nanny's words hit her like a ton of bricks.
19:28What did you say?
19:30I'm pregnant?
19:31Yes, you're three months along.
19:33Haven't you noticed any symptoms?
19:36A shiver ran through her lower abdomen.
19:38She reached down to touch it.
19:40Once, she had imagined mating Lord Gauld and having a child of their love.
19:44But of all times, this was the moment, now that Lord Gauld no longer loved her, that this child had
19:49come.
19:49The next second, the room door swung open.
19:52Clarissa, you've made me look like a fool today.
19:55Becky is kind.
19:56She thought you hadn't eaten, so she saved some cake for you.
19:59Hatred surged within Clarissa.
20:00You're not with Grandma.
20:01Instead, you're here pretending to be sick just to get my attention.
20:03Get out!
20:04Clarissa grabbed a cup from the table and hurled it at his face.
20:09You're ungrateful.
20:10You're nowhere near as good as Becky.
20:12He turned and walked away with a cold expression, slamming the door shut.
20:18In that moment, the pent-up resentment and pain in Clarissa's heart finally burst forth, and she broke down.
20:23For several days in a row, Lord Gauld took Rebecca out on high-profile outings, showering her with every possible
20:28indulgence.
20:29Meanwhile, Clarissa was left alone to handle her grandmother's funeral arrangements.
20:33On the day of her grandmother's funeral, the sky was overcast, and it soon began to pour.
20:37Meanwhile, Lord Gauld was making a grand spectacle of fireworks and buying from the Lombards a diamond of rare beauty
20:43for Rebecca.
20:45Clarissa returned to Lord Gauld's castle, packed up her belongings, and went back to the farmhouse.
20:50When Lord Gauld realized she wasn't at the castle...
20:53Lord Gauld, we couldn't find Clarissa.
20:54He called to demand to know where she was.
20:57Clarissa, where are you?
20:58Lord Gauld, the game is over. We have nothing to do with each other anymore.
21:03Unexpectedly, just one day later, Lord Gauld tracked her down.
21:06He looked at the small room where Clarissa was staying.
21:09Clarissa, you're living in a doghouse like this now.
21:12Clarissa, you're so eager to leave me. You're just playing hard to get this, aren't you?
21:16It's none of your business. Get out.
21:19Do it.
21:20But Lord Gauld's eyes hardened, and he ordered his beast guards to restrain her.
21:23Come on. Becky wants to take you to an auction.
21:29Let me go! Let me go!
21:32Clarissa struggled desperately.
21:34She was taken to a vast private estate, which housed an underground auction venue.
21:38The estate's owner kept a giant python and frequently organized feeding shows for the python,
21:42attracting an audience of the rich and powerful.
21:45Rebecca, dressed in an elegant gown, had been waiting there all along.
21:50Clarissa, they're holding a python feeding show here, but I find it so boring.
21:55Inside the cage on stage, a four-meter-long golden python was voraciously devouring a bloody piece of meat.
22:01Since you're the champion of the first 99 elimination games,
22:04dealing with a python like this should be a piece of cake, right?
22:08Lord Gady, I want to see Clarissa tame that python.
22:12No sooner had the words left her mouth than Clarissa felt a chill run to her body.
22:15The little life growing inside her seemed to sense something.
22:18Are you out of your mind?
22:23Now I'm giving you a chance.
22:25Just beg me.
22:26And in the final elimination game, I'll definitely let you win.
22:30Lord Gade, my greatest regret is ever having joined your game.
22:34Rysa, how can you be so ungrateful?
22:37Lord Galded is giving you a chance.
22:40If I were you, I'd be overwhelmed with gratitude.
22:42By refusing to play, you're proving you don't love Lord Galded at all.
22:49Lock her up.
22:50At his command, the staff immediately locked Clarissa inside the massive cage.
22:54The python, upon seeing Clarissa, reacted as if it had spotted prey.
22:58It instantly tensed its body and slithered toward her.
23:00Clarissa dodged frantically.
23:02Lord Galded, I beg you, let me out!
23:05The python still wrapped itself around her calf.
23:09I'm pregnant!
23:12Clarissa's screams were piercingly shrill.
23:14The audience below was making too much noise.
23:16They couldn't hear a word Clarissa was saying.
23:19Lord Galded furrowed his brow slightly, as if trying to make out what Clarissa was saying.
23:24Honorable Lord Galded, I'm having so much fun.
23:28I want to play too.
23:29Why don't we go backstage?
23:32Lord Galded decisively scooped Rebecca up in his arms, heading toward the backstage area.
23:43Clarissa's body was already covered in several bite marks.
23:46The python had wrapped itself tightly around her, and now it began to slowly tighten its grip.
23:51Clarissa couldn't breathe.
23:52Being suffocated, her face slowly turned purple.
23:55It wasn't until Clarissa let out a series of piercing, agonized screams that the audience finally realized something was wrong.
24:01Oh my goodness, the python seems to have really gone berserk.
24:05There's so much blood flowing from that woman.
24:08Call the healer quickly.
24:11When she regained consciousness, Clarissa was lying in a bed.
24:14A searing pain shot through her lower abdomen.
24:17She yanked the blanket off and saw that her belly had shriveled inward.
24:20She realized she had lost the baby.
24:23No!
24:24Clarissa felt as if the blood in her veins had frozen, and an overwhelming wave of grief swept over her.
24:28She broke down and screamed.
24:31Having already lost her grandmother, this child was her only remaining family in the world.
24:35Why?
24:36Why did Lord Gull have to kill her child, robbing her of her last shred of hope?
24:40The next second, Lord Gull pushed open the door, his face still flushed from their lovemaking.
24:45I heard you got your period.
24:46Is that why you escaped the game?
24:48The hickeys on his neck glaringly obvious.
24:50Clarissa, this isn't like you.
24:52Even during the toughest times in our 99 games, you never acted this dramatic.
24:55Clarissa took a deep breath and forced herself to stand, despite the pain.
25:00Then, summoning every ounce of strength, she raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.
25:06Lord Gull, they may you rot in hell!
25:10The madness in her eyes momentarily stunned Lord Gull.
25:13Have I been too lenient with you lately?
25:15Hmm?
25:16But one of his beast guard rushed in and-
25:18Rebecca is gravely ill.
25:19Just stay here.
25:20I'll come back soon.
25:23With that, he left the room without looking back.
25:26Clarissa watched the scene and froze for a long time.
25:29A small black snake poked its head through the door.
25:32A shadow as tall as a man was cast upon the mottled wall.
25:35Black hack.
25:37Help me put on a show.
25:39Make it convincing.
25:40I want him to really believe I'm dead.
25:45Clarissa, look.
25:47Even though you've been bitten by a python, all it took was one word from me, and Lord
25:51Gady'd still left you to come find me.
25:52Lord Gady doesn't love you at all.
25:54Even though you nearly lost your life for him before, doesn't still only love me?
25:58You're chance, period.
26:00Hearing that shrieking female voice, the black shadow shrank into the small black snake again
26:05and quickly swam away into the meadow.
26:07Clarissa's tears fell onto the floor, blurring her vision.
26:10Beastguards stood firmly outside the farmhouse.
26:12She had nowhere to go and could only stay in her shabby bed.
26:15The moment she closed her eyes, nightmares began to plague her mind.
26:19She dreamed of the 99 cruel games that had come before.
26:21Of Lord Gauld's resolute gaze, of her grandmother's despair in the fire,
26:25and of the child who vanished so suddenly she never even got to meet.
26:28Another day passed, and Lord Gauld brought Rebecca to see her.
26:31Clarissa, are you alright?
26:33Lord Gauldid really cares about you.
26:35Even though you're in this state, he still wants me to compete fairly with you one more time.
26:40Raisa, if you don't participate in the game, it means you don't truly love Lord Gauldid,
26:44that you have no desire for him at all.
26:46Clarissa turned her head and stared intently at them.
26:48Fine.
26:50I'll participate in the game.
26:52As soon as the words left her mouth, Lord Gauld's eyes suddenly lit up for a moment.
26:56Rebecca, on the other hand, froze in surprise.
27:00I'm also willing to compete fairly, but this time, I get to set the rules.
27:06Of course.
27:07After all, you beat her last time.
27:10Out of his sight, Rebecca's lips curled into a malicious smile.
27:13Last time we played the gun betting game, Raisa lost.
27:17I'm sure she's still bitter about it.
27:20So this time, let's bet on another game.
27:24How about it?
27:26Alright.
27:29It's settled then.
27:31Lord Gatti, let's go get ready.
27:34We shouldn't disturb Raisa's rest.
27:36Lord Gauld felt a vague sense of unease welling up inside him.
27:39We should have a vague sense of unease welling up inside him.
