00:05Dorian! Please! Help me!
00:11Vivian, it's done. I got her here, just like you asked.
00:16Once she dies in this flash flood, you'll be the sole heir to Ashfield.
00:23Dear sister, your little fox is really useful, isn't he?
00:36I'm back. Back to six years ago. The familiar auction. I'm not dead. Not yet.
00:49Go on, Serena. Choose me. You did before.
00:56That one. Open it.
01:11Serena! What are you doing? You promised me! You said you'd pick me to repay my favor!
01:19Is that so? I don't really remember.
01:24Hear that, white fox? She's done with you. She doesn't even see you as her life maker.
01:39What's your name?
01:42Kale.
01:43My lady, please, be careful. This wolf familiar's dangerous. He's already bitten two trainers in the arena. He doesn't obey
01:49at all.
01:49The risk, it's way too high.
01:56Serena, stop! You promised me. When I fully took shape, you'd only recognize me as your one contract servant. You
02:03said it yourself.
02:04I already told you. It was a long time ago. I don't remember.
02:15Sister, since this silver fox knows you, there must be some fate here. Why don't... Why don't I take him?
02:20I can keep him close so you won't have any regrets later.
02:27Let's go, Kale.
02:33Let me make one thing clear. If we form a bond, you'll only have me. I don't share. And I've
02:44got a bad temper. I don't know how to serve people.
02:48Come here.
02:52My lady.
02:56Don't know how to serve? That's fine. You'll learn. Slowly.
03:03But tonight, we bind our blood first.
03:07By the blood of the master and the soul of the familiar, this bond is sealed.
03:12The familiar shall be bound to the master for life.
03:15Should betrayal ever take root, the soul shall shatter, the spirit disperse, and it shall never be reborn.
03:27If it hurts, just bite me.
03:33First time making a bond?
03:37So you're some kind of expert.
03:39Done this with other familities before?
03:45Dorian and Kale couldn't have been more different.
03:48Dorian was like a pine tree in the snow.
03:50Cold, classy, and impossible.
03:52You had to coax him forever just to get him to give an inch.
03:56But Kale...
03:57Kale, though, was like a winter river running dark and deep.
04:00Calm on top but underneath.
04:02Wild, loyal, and waiting in the wings.
04:06This kind of wolf, once it picks a path, it doesn't turn back.
04:17I'm going to wash up.
04:31What do you want?
04:32My lady.
04:33Miss Vivian asked me to bring you some fresh spirit fruits.
04:36My lady.
04:38In his last life, he formed a bond with me, yet he never once addressed me properly, always claiming that
04:43was just the way he was.
04:45And now, after following Vivian for barely half a day, he's already changed his tune.
04:51What dignity.
04:53He just didn't think I was worth lowering himself.
04:56Leave them.
04:56You can go now.
04:58My lady.
04:59Why did you choose a wolf familiar?
05:01He's aggressive by nature.
05:03He's hardly the kind of familiar that should be by your side.
05:08That is none of your business.
05:11So back then, everything you said was just to make me happy?
05:15From the start, you never really planned to bring me in, did you?
05:24Cut the fox charm.
05:27Try that stun on her again, and I'll break your fox neck.
05:40Father, I know Serena has never really liked me.
05:44I'm not here to complain.
05:46I just...
05:47I never expected her familiar to be so cruel.
05:51Last night, I saw Serena humiliate Dorian in front of everyone.
05:56I felt so bad for him.
05:59So I brought him back with me and tried to cheer him up.
06:03I thought maybe they're just in some misunderstanding between him and Serena.
06:08So I asked him to bring her some fresh fruit and patch things up with her.
06:12I never thought it'd end up like this.
06:16Dorian got roughed up by her wolf familiar like this.
06:20There's a saying.
06:22You don't hit someone's dog without asking first.
06:25And Dorian's my servant!
06:27Serena didn't even stop him!
06:30This...
06:31This is just meant to embarrass me, isn't it?
06:35I know Serena is the heir, the eldest, the future lady of the estate.
06:39Whatever happens at home, it's always her say.
06:42And me...
06:43I'm merely a bastard daughter.
06:45Ever since mother passed, no one's been looking out for me.
06:49In her final moments, she kept calling father's name.
06:56How touching.
06:59Vivian's mother died, and father wept for a whole night.
07:02But when my mother...
07:04Eleanor, the one who built all of this, died when I was eight,
07:08he didn't shed a single tear.
07:11Now he says he won't let Vivian be wronged.
07:15So I guess that means I'm the one who's supposed to suffer, right?
07:21Serena!
07:21Look at your familiar!
07:23How dare it behave like this!
07:25That wolf is savage and has no discipline,
07:28and it attacked someone right here in Ashford!
07:31I told you from the start
07:33that wolf falillians are impossible to tame!
07:36They're not fit to serve as personal bonded servants,
07:39but you refuse to listen!
07:41Today it attacked Vivian's servant.
07:44What about tomorrow?
07:45Will it go after Vivian herself?
07:47And the day after that,
07:48will it turn on the entire Ashford family?
07:51On me!
07:52Someone!
07:53Drag this monster out and deal with it according to our family rules!
07:58Sister,
08:00Kale is just a familiar.
08:01Don't let this come between you and father, okay?
08:04Kale made the first move,
08:05so he should be punished.
08:07I trust this wasn't your doing.
08:09He just went and acted on his own, right?
08:14Kale,
08:15outside you can do whatever you want,
08:17but in Ashfield,
08:18you follow my rules.
08:20If you ever lay a hand on someone in public again,
08:23I won't cover for you.
08:28I understand, my lady.
08:31Go serve your punishment.
08:33Let this be a lesson.
08:55Oh, easy there.
08:57We wouldn't want to break Serena's new toy on the very first day, would we?
09:05I know why she's gloating.
09:07She thinks she's beaten me at last.
09:10Finally seeing the one I care about humiliated like this.
09:14Pathetic.
09:16Look at Dorian.
09:17Why is he so bitter?
09:19I gave him exactly what he wanted.
09:21I let him go to Vivian.
09:23I even gave whatever it is between them a chance.
09:26So what does he still have to resent?
09:29And why does he keep provoking Kale over and over again?
09:35Enough.
09:36We'll leave it here for today.
09:38Sister, only ten.
09:40And we're stopping already.
09:42Kale attacked Dorian,
09:43and the marks on his neck are still there.
09:46Isn't that punishment a little too light?
09:54What else do you want, Vivian?
09:56His life?
09:57Dorian's injury is hardly serious.
09:59A fox for Lilia would recover from that in three days.
10:02Making a fuss over something this minor just makes you look petty.
10:07You!
10:09Oh right, sister.
10:11I almost forgot.
10:13Father said you've been so busy lately.
10:16The Northern Territory.
10:18The heart of Ashfield's wealth.
10:19The Spiritstone Mines.
10:21The Herb Estates.
10:23Everything my mother, Eleanor, spent half her life building.
10:27And now Edmund wants to hand it all over to Vivian.
10:30Looks like she's helping me out.
10:32But really,
10:34she's trying to worm her way into the Ashford family itself.
10:40Co-manageage?
10:42Honestly, Vivian, I couldn't ask for more.
10:46Sister,
10:47you're so easy to please today.
10:49Then I won't hold back.
10:57Stay still.
10:59I need to check the wound.
11:06I'm sorry.
11:09I know you only acted to stop his fox charm,
11:11but for now you'll have to take the punishment on your own.
11:14There won't be a next time.
11:20What's the big deal?
11:22It's only natural for a lady to punish her own familiar.
11:27Besides, you don't need to protect me.
11:30I'm the one who's supposed to shield you from the storm.
11:33Shield me from the storm.
11:35It's been ages since anyone ever said that.
11:39I've been the only heir since I was little.
11:41I had to master management, negotiation,
11:43and always be flawless before the elders.
11:46Nobody ever said they'd protect me.
11:48And now,
11:49some wolf cub who's been mine for just a day
11:51says it like it's the most natural thing in the world.
11:57Fine.
11:58I've got it.
12:00Whatever happens,
12:01I'll keep my word.
12:03Since you took me out of that cage,
12:04I'm loyal to you.
12:06Forever.
12:09And what if I lied to you?
12:12What if one day you find out
12:13I've been using you all along?
12:23Alright, I won't tease you anymore.
12:25Rest up,
12:26and in a few days,
12:27come with me to the Northern Territory.
12:29That's where the real game begins.
12:55Hey, sister.
12:56Why not bring Kale to check his level too?
13:00Maybe he's leveled up
13:01and could make you look good.
13:03No, thank you.
13:05People test a familiar's rank
13:06when they're planning to sell it
13:07for a better price.
13:09Fortunately,
13:10I haven't fallen so low
13:11that I need to trade away
13:12my own familiar
13:13for a share of the family's assets.
13:21Besides,
13:21a rank gained through potions
13:22is little more than decoration.
13:25If you really want
13:26a 10th rank family or sister,
13:28you'll have to spend
13:29a lot more than you already have.
13:36Even if it's just for show,
13:37it's still better than your familiar.
13:39That low-born wolf,
13:41no matter how many potions you give him,
13:42he's never going to amount to anything!
13:53My lady,
13:55let me take the test.
13:57I'm no worse than that fox.
14:01It's okay.
14:02It doesn't matter to me.
14:04All right, hurry it up.
14:05Put your right hand on the stone.
14:06Next!
14:07Next!
14:28Oh my god!
14:30Look at the runes!
14:32The testing stone!
14:33The testing stone is cracking!
14:42Impossible!
14:42That's a 10th reek family!
14:45A supreme class family mid-tier!
15:01I told you,
15:02I'm no worse than that fox.
15:04Even in my past life,
15:05not even the Empire's
15:06strongest royal guards
15:07could touch this level.
15:09Kale,
15:09who exactly are you?
15:13Actually,
15:15I'm not from a normal pack.
15:18I ran away from somewhere else.
15:20But now,
15:21I'm yours.
15:22Only yours.
15:27I understand.
15:29You're with me now.
15:30And that's enough.
15:40All those potions wasted for nothing!
15:42And you still can't beat a single wolf!
15:45Useless!
15:45Get lost!
15:48Get lost!
16:12Come on, Kale!
16:13Come on, Kale!
16:14Off to the Northern Territory!
16:16Let's see what my dear sister
16:17has in store for us!
16:24Let's see what my dear sister has in store for us!
16:51My lady,
16:52please,
16:54I need to talk to you.
17:16You again.
17:18What the hell do you want this time?
17:36My lady,
17:37please,
17:37have Kale leave for a moment.
17:39I have to tell you this secret alone.
17:45Remember what happened last time?
17:47He's no good.
17:49Don't listen to a word he says.
17:57Wait.
17:58If he wanted to make a move,
18:00he wouldn't pick now.
18:01Go wait by the gate.
18:02I'll stay here.
18:05But!
18:06Go.
18:07That's an order.
18:11Go on.
18:12Make sure this secret's worth my attention.
18:26My lady,
18:27I'm begging you.
18:29Just give me another chance.
18:35You want to kneel?
18:37Kneel to your master, Viviana.
18:39I'm not the one holding your leash anymore.
18:46I'm sorry, Serena.
18:47I was wrong.
18:49I shouldn't have betrayed you.
18:51I shouldn't have just stood there
18:53and watched those rocks crash you,
18:54watching you die in that valley.
18:56I have no idea what you're talking about.
18:59You're losing your mind, Dorian.
19:01I know.
19:02I know nobody's going to believe me if I say it.
19:05But it's true.
19:08Every single word of it.
19:11I've been having the same dream over and over for days.
19:15In it, I'm your familiar.
19:17You're so kind to me, helping me through the shift.
19:20And I swear in the dream I'll always be loyal to you.
19:24Never betray you, but I broke it.
19:26I fell for Vivian.
19:28She got into my head, kept feeding me lies,
19:31and before I knew it,
19:32I was leading you straight to your death.
19:33In the dream, as the flood was swallowing you whole,
19:37you said you only did all that because I saved your life.
19:40Seeing you die right in front of me,
19:43and being powerless to stop it.
19:46That feeling, it's worse than dying.
19:50At first I thought it was just a dream,
19:52but then the details started getting clearer and clearer.
19:55More real.
19:56More vivid.
19:58And then came that day at the auction.
20:00The day you chose Kyle.
20:02That's when it finally hit me.
20:03It wasn't a dream at all.
20:06It was what happened before.
20:09The ending we actually got in our last life.
20:12We are meant to be together, Serena.
20:16If all of that really happened,
20:17if Vivian got in my head and made me screw everything up,
20:21then maybe we can do it over this time.
20:27I've wanted to tell you the truth for so long.
20:31I've wanted to tell you to apologize.
20:33To make up for what I did.
20:35But because of Vivian,
20:36I couldn't just come out and say it.
20:38I was afraid she'd hurt you.
20:49Serena,
20:50you really don't remember at all.
20:53Back at Siren Lake,
20:54you fell in the water.
20:55I jumped in and pulled you out.
20:57The Ashford family even gave me a Shapeshing potion as thanks.
21:01I've been looking for you ever since.
21:17It was all Vivian.
21:20She's crazy.
21:21She was jealous that you were the rightful heir.
21:23Ever since she found out I saved you back then,
21:25she's been yelling at me,
21:27hitting me,
21:28taking out all her jealousy and hate on me.
21:32I was going to just bear it in silence,
21:35but I was scared.
21:36Scared she'd go after you,
21:38scared you'd end up like last time.
21:40Let me be your Fimant,
21:41Serena.
21:43I haven't bonded with Vivian yet.
21:44That wolf is just a brute.
21:46He can only fight.
21:47But I'm different.
21:48I'm skilled in fox charm.
21:50I know countless secrets about Vivian.
21:52I can help you win over the council elders.
21:55Get rid of Edmund's old allies.
21:57Take down anyone standing in the way of you inheriting your lands.
21:59And do you really not have any feelings for me at all?
22:17Let me think about it.
22:26I was only 12 back then.
22:28The lake was freezing that early spring.
22:30The second I fell in,
22:31it felt like the water swallowed me whole.
22:34I couldn't breathe.
22:35I couldn't tell which way was up.
22:38I didn't even have time to call for help.
22:56Oh, that makes sense.
22:58No wonder I treated Dorian that way last time.
23:00I always thought I was just returning the favor.
23:03Maybe it wasn't just about paying him back.
23:06I was clinging to this one crazy idea
23:09that someone, at some point,
23:11had chosen me without a second thought.
23:22The light was still on,
23:23and the tea is cold,
23:25and the tea, drink it.
23:28Okay.
23:39Kale,
23:41if someone saved your life when you were a kid,
23:43and for years you let them walk all over you,
23:46betray your trust,
23:47push you around,
23:48would you call that loyalty,
23:50or just plain stupid?
23:52Neither.
24:01If someone saved your life,
24:03you're not wrong for being grateful.
24:06What's wrong
24:07is the person using that gratitude
24:10to make you sacrifice the rest of your life.
24:14People who really care
24:15don't keep throwing what they did in your face.
24:19if someone won't stop saying they saved you.
24:28You're surprisingly good
24:29at figuring things out for me.
24:31I'm not saying this to make you feel better.
24:34That's just how it is.
24:47Made it on the road.
24:48It's nothing fancy.
24:50But
24:51it carries my manner.
24:53Keep it under your pillow
24:54if you have bad dreams.
25:01Over the years,
25:02Dorian gave me all kinds of gifts.
25:05Every one of them was exquisite,
25:07chosen with just the right touch.
25:11But I'd never owned a taliman like this one.
25:14It was rough,
25:16simple,
25:16not particularly valuable,
25:18and honestly not even all that pretty.
25:20And for some reason,
25:21it made my chest warm.
25:23Like, finally,
25:24someone wasn't trying to cheer me up.
25:27They just
25:27figured I'd be hurt
25:29and wanted to take the blow for me.
25:31Kale,
25:33what if you find out
25:34I'm not the good person you think I am?
25:36What if I'm cold,
25:37ruthless,
25:38and willing to sacrifice anyone,
25:39including you,
25:39to get what I want?
25:41Sit inside.
25:42I'm afraid I'll
25:43dream about the lake tonight.
25:48Okay.
25:49Okay.
26:21Father,
26:21this ride is awful.
26:23The cushions are thin as paper,
26:24and these snacks are ridiculously sweet.
26:27Tell them to go back
26:28and get something better,
26:29will you?
26:31Vivian!
26:33Cut it out!
26:34You're not a spoiled child anymore.
26:36Act your age.
26:53Ah.
26:54So Dorian was the one
26:56who whispered in Father's ear
26:57before we left,
26:58making him lose patience
27:00with Viviana.
27:01He's showing me his value.
27:03He's proving he can be
27:04a very useful dog.
27:13What's wrong?
27:14Not used to the carriage?
27:16No.
27:18It's just
27:18the way some people look at me
27:20makes me uncomfortable.
27:30In this world a master
27:32can only bind one familia.
27:33To break that bond
27:34and form a new one,
27:35the familia must undergo
27:37soul fracture.
27:38Some lose their consciousness
27:40and are left as little more
27:41than empty hucks.
27:42Others are less unfortunate.
27:43Their souls are shattered
27:45beyond recovery.
27:46And yet,
27:46Dorian is perfectly willing
27:47to let Kale suffer that agony
27:49just so he can crawl back
27:50to my side.
27:51He is just as cold
27:52and ruthless
27:53as he was in our past life.
27:55Fine.
27:56We'll see.
28:04The reliance marries
28:06to heaven's.
28:13You're up.
28:17My lord,
28:18it's been a long journey.
28:19I've put together a feast
28:20to help you refresh yourself
28:21after the road.
28:24Perfect!
28:25Lead the way!
28:29And one more thing,
28:30my lord,
28:30you have to see
28:31Siren's Lake tomorrow.
28:33The manna there
28:34is unlike anywhere else around
28:36and it's the pride
28:37of the region.
28:38You don't come here every day
28:39so it'd be a real shame
28:40to miss it.
28:41Lord Hargrain is right.
28:43Father,
28:44you've worked so hard
28:45for the family.
28:46You deserve some rest
28:47by the lake.
28:49And Vivian should come too.
28:50It's beautiful.
28:55Yes!
28:56Vivian,
28:56you must join us tomorrow.
28:59Of course, father.
29:01I'd love to.
29:18My lord,
29:19your daughters
29:19are truly generous.
29:21Letting their familiots
29:22dine at the same table,
29:23we don't see
29:24that kind of kindness
29:25every day.
29:26Ha!
29:27Ha!
29:27Ha!
29:28Ha!
29:29Ha!
29:30Ha!
29:30Ha!
29:30Ha!
29:30Ha!
29:30Ha!
29:31Ha!
29:31Ha!
29:33Ha!
29:33Ha!
29:34Darian,
29:35get up.
29:36Stand in the back.
29:37A familiar
29:38is just a servant.
29:39Have you forgotten
29:40your manners?
29:45Yes, my lord.
30:00Father,
30:02Vivian was gravely ill
30:03last week,
30:04and Dorian stayed up
30:05for nights
30:06to nurse her back
30:07to health.
30:08Besides,
30:08since Dorian will
30:09assist Vivian
30:09in managing
30:10the Northern Territory
30:11in the future,
30:11we shouldn't treat him
30:12like a mere servant.
30:13After all,
30:14we're all Ashford's
30:14here,
30:15aren't we?
30:21Serena's right.
30:22It's only a meal.
30:23We're family,
30:23after all.
30:24Everyone,
30:24have a seat.
