Transcript
00:00I just don't believe you'd obey every last order.
00:05Then prove it. On your knees.
00:08Pick it up with your mouth.
00:12Good girl.
00:14My name is Sophia.
00:16I am the true-born daughter of the Lord of the Frostfang Clan.
00:21The most powerful wolf pack in the North.
00:27I once bore the Silvermoon Frostwolf spirit.
00:30A gift unseen, for a hundred years.
00:34I was the heir.
00:36The one everyone believed in.
00:39Seven years ago.
00:40Continue this.
00:42Lillian the cook's daughter, clutched that forged bloodstone of truth.
00:46And threw herself into my brother Vincent's arms, sobbing.
00:52Bennett.
00:54I am your real sister.
00:59The bloodstone of truth!
01:02Only the true Frostell ear can awaken it.
01:05She told him I was a half-blood mongrel.
01:08A cuckoo in the nest.
01:10That's a lie.
01:12There must be a mistake.
01:16You're lying!
01:17She flaunted her status as wolf princess.
01:20Told him I'd been flaunting my status as wolf clan princess.
01:26That I'd lost control of a dire wolf.
01:31And crushed her leg under its paws.
01:35Not one of them believed me.
01:36Not my father.
01:38Guards!
01:39Caesar!
01:41Not my mother.
01:44Not my brother.
01:45I can't believe you lied to me.
01:48I'm innocent!
01:49I swear it!
01:51To make it up to this true daughter, who'd suffered so much, they threw me into the black
01:57cells beneath Frostfang heat.
02:01By the time I came back out, there was no fight left in me.
02:10Sophia, you can come out now.
02:12No tears left in me.
02:22Whatever they said.
02:24Sophia, it's time to go home.
02:27I just nodded and said.
02:30Okay.
02:35Lillian stood there in her silver foxfire cloak, staring at my faded prison rags with
02:40pure disgust.
02:42She pinched her nose and sneered.
02:45God, you're filthy.
02:46Go jump in the water and wash yourself off.
02:49Don't you dare dirty the floors of Frostfang heat.
02:52I said.
02:53Okay.
02:54I turned and jumped straight into the freezing pool.
03:01I didn't know how to swim.
03:02And I didn't struggle.
03:04Just sank like a stone.
03:06Straight to the bottom.
03:07Mom and dad nearly lost their minds.
03:11By the time Vincent dove in and dragged me out,
03:18I was lying soaked on the bank, staring up at them with a completely blank face.
03:24Vincent shook the water off his hands.
03:26Irritation written all over him.
03:28What the hell are you playing at?
03:30Seven years ago, you crushed Lillian's leg.
03:33If you really want to die that bad, how about you break your own leg first to make it up
03:37to her?
03:38I said.
03:39Okay.
03:40I turned and bolted straight for the cliffs on the northern edge of the territory.
03:51Vincent lunged at me and yanked me back.
03:54The momentum sent both of us crashing to the ground.
03:58The sharp rocks sliced his palm open, blood dripping everywhere, but his hands were shaking
04:04even worse than mine.
04:06Later, at the moon feast, as the crowds lose themselves in the moon feast, they have no idea
04:13their peace is about to be shattered.
04:17Lillian collapsed into Vincent's arms, clutching her stomach.
04:22She slipped drowsing Herb into my wine.
04:25She was going to hand me over to the Grey Wolf chieftain.
04:29Vincent slapped me hard across the face.
04:32The taste of blood filled my mouth instantly.
04:35He roared.
04:37If she gets violated, don't even think about keeping your worthless life!
04:42I said, okay.
04:46Then I picked up the silver dagger from the table, and dragged it straight toward my heart.
04:54Mom and Dad pushed through the door, and froze dead in their tracks.
05:03Vincent went insane, lunging at me and grabbing my hand.
05:07The blade had already punctured my chest, millimetres from my heart.
05:12Are you stupid?
05:13Why the hell do you do everything anyone tells you?
05:16I'm not stupid.
05:17It's just that the black cells took Lillian's money, and had a dark witch perform a wolf spirit
05:22extraction right on me.
05:26They turned me into a walking corpse.
05:29No emotions.
05:31Just orders.
05:34The feeling of a blade sinking into flesh, I knew it well.
05:38Instinctively, I wanted to push deeper.
05:40Vincent snapped the dagger, and threw it to the ground.
05:44Sophia!
05:45Have you lost your goddamn mind?
05:47His hands covered in my blood, screaming.
05:49I didn't even blink.
05:51I looked at him calmly.
05:52I'm carrying out my brother's punishment.
05:55Mom's eyes went red, almost on reflex.
05:59Sophia, what are you doing?
06:00Dad slapped me across the face, anguished and furious, trying to knock some sense into
06:06me.
06:06You animal!
06:08Your brother brings you home out of the goodness of his heart, and you pull this self-harm trick
06:12to make everyone feel sorry for you?
06:14Who do you think you're fooling?
06:15I stopped immediately.
06:17Without an order from the family, I didn't dare keep hurting myself.
06:21I just curled up on the floor, like a beaten stray dog.
06:26Sophia!
06:27Quit pretending you don't understand a word anyone says!
06:29Vincent was shaking with rage, at how compliant I was.
06:33The Frosthang family brought you back home.
06:35What the hell else do you want?
06:37I answered mechanically.
06:38I don't want anything.
06:40My brother said I nearly got Sister Lillian violated.
06:44I was carrying out my brother's punishment.
06:46Seven years of torment taught me one thing.
06:48Fighting back is pointless.
06:51Obedience is the only way to survive.
06:53If I so much as furrowed my brow, what was waiting for me back in the black cells, was
06:57a silver branding iron, carved with suppression runes, and an iron rod to break my bones.
07:03The next second, I passed out, from blood loss.
07:06By the time they got me to the healing spring, the physician who was supposed to stitch my wound
07:11had already been called away by Lillian, claiming her leg injury was acting up.
07:17His attendant had nothing but strong liquor, which he poured directly into my still bleeding wound
07:22to disinfect it.
07:23Lillian limped into the healing chamber, took my hand with fake tenderness, and said,
07:30Sophia, this is all my fault.
07:32I shouldn't have come back and take your place as the clan's princess.
07:36I shouldn't have made you put on this whole pitiful act just to get sympathy.
07:40I'll make it up to you from now on.
07:41I stopped playing crazy to make the family hate me.
07:44Please, these seven years, I didn't dare come see you, but the guilt's been eating me alive.
07:50But I remember it clearly.
07:52Seven years ago, she came to the black cells herself.
07:55She signed the wolf spirit extraction covenant, with her own hand.
08:00Strange.
08:01She came to see me countless times.
08:04She watched the guards beat me black and blue.
08:06So why won't she admit it now?
08:09Blood was still gushing from the wound.
08:11Silently, I peeled off the healing robe, and pressed the crumpled ball of my old prison
08:16rags hard into the gash.
08:18Seven years, in the black cells, every time they beat me to pieces, I used my clothes as
08:23bandages.
08:24More than once, the wound festered, and nearly killed me.
08:29Lillian sucked in a sharp breath and shrank back.
08:34Sophia, I'm so sorry.
08:36This is all because I sent the physician away.
08:39Vincent walked in.
08:40He pushed down that flicker of inexplicable pain in his eyes, and frowned at me hard.
08:45You really have to make Lillian, the victim, apologize to you.
08:48Seven years of reconditioning.
08:50And the black cells still didn't teach you anything.
08:53There are consequences for what you've done.
08:56Lady Lillian, everything is my fault.
09:02If my suffering is still not enough, if you still cannot forgive me, give the word and I will
09:08accept any price, even my life.
09:11The day I was discharged, Lillian sent everyone away and took me to the clan's beast training
09:16grounds.
09:18She pointed at a mad wolf chain to the beast.
09:21Get on.
09:22Ride it.
09:22Make it charge straight at me.
09:25I nodded blankly.
09:26Swung myself onto the mad wolf's back.
09:28I triggered its frenzy, looked at Lillian standing ahead, and without a moment's hesitation,
09:34drove the beast straight toward her.
09:37Just as the mad wolf was about to slam into her, the frostfang dire wolf charged in from
09:42the side and smashed into the mad wolf, forcing it to a dead stop.
09:46The guards tore the mad wolf away and yanked me off its back.
09:50Sophia!
09:51Are you done playing games?
09:53Vincent was shaking with rage.
09:55You actually tried to ride a wolf and trample Lillian to death!
10:01Mom stared at me in shock.
10:03Her eyes filled with nothing but disappointment.
10:05Then she turned, sobbing quietly, and whispered to comfort Lillian.
10:11Lillian, you've suffered so much.
10:13The Frostbale clan won't go soft on her ever again.
10:16I knew I'd made the family angry again.
10:18When you do something wrong, you pay the price.
10:21I slammed my head against the cold stone pillar with full force.
10:25A sharp times, crack times, rang out from my forehead.
10:28The bone fractured on impact.
10:30Blood streamed down my face, blurring my vision.
10:33Lillian widened her eyes, feigning shock.
10:36Sophia!
10:37The more you put on this pitiful act, the more you're going to end up hating me!
10:41I sat there, the searing pain pounding inside my skull.
10:45Not a single sound.
10:46Seven years ago, it was exactly this, fighting back against Lillian's lies, that got me thrown
10:52into the black cells, and subjected to the wolf spirit extraction rite.
10:56I've been fixed now.
10:58Whatever the family says, I do.
11:00Maybe that'll finally make them happy.
11:03Sophia!
11:04Hasn't the Frostbale clan done enough for you?
11:07You got to live the high life in Lillian's place for over 20 years!
11:11Bringing you back was the biggest mistake of my life!
11:13You nearly got Lillian killed!
11:15Dad walked over.
11:17You're a heartless, ungrateful beast!
11:20I should have let you die in the Mad Wolf Tower.
11:24The searing pain made my hand jerk violently.
11:26A basin of water nearby, tipped over, scalding water splashing all over both of us.
11:35Lillian shrieked.
11:37Sophia!
11:38You burned me with hot water on purpose!
11:41The boiling water had soaked clear through my clothes.
11:44My scalded skin was already blistering and splitting open, blood staining my upper body
11:50red.
11:50But I didn't care about the pain.
11:52I just knelt there on the floor.
11:53I'm sorry.
11:54Head bowed obediently.
11:55The guests around us stared at my mutilated back, their faces turning pale white.
12:00But Vincent rushed straight over, took Lillian's fingers, barely splashed in his hands, and blew
12:06on them.
12:07Lillian, you okay?
12:09Did it burn you?
12:12Vincent!
12:14Look at Sophia.
12:16Something's not right with her.
12:17That's when Ethan Vincent's friend, an inspector of the Silver Moon Council, grabbed him by
12:21the arm.
12:22What could possibly be wrong with her?
12:24She's just playing crazy for sympathy.
12:26Look at her!
12:27Vincent shot me an impatient glance.
12:30I was on the floor with a rag, scrubbing at the water stains and blood smears.
12:36Over and over, blood was dripping from my back onto the floor, and I didn't even notice,
12:42just kept wiping mechanically.
12:45Back in the black cells, if there was even a speck of blood on the ground, the guards would
12:50whip me with an iron flail hundreds of times.
12:53Ethan's voice had turned deeply solemn.
12:55It's like she doesn't even know what pain is anymore.
12:58She just executes orders like a puppet.
13:00A normal werewolf does not complete someone else's orders at the cost of harming themselves.
13:05Sophia's behavior, that's clearly something wrong with her wolf spirit.
13:08How is that possible?
13:10Vincent went quiet.
13:12Oh, you think so?
13:13Still putting on an act in front of all these people?
13:16If you're so damn good at it, just go die already!
13:20Dad decided I'd humiliated the family beyond redemption.
13:22The moon feast ended in disaster.
13:25Dad ordered the guards to tie me to a stone pillar in the square.
13:29Let her reflect out here.
13:32No one brings her food out without my permission.
13:36The night deepened.
13:37The temperature kept dropping.
13:39I leaned against the freezing pillar, melting snow in my mouth to stave off hunger.
13:43Curling up in the dead branches and leaves to sleep.
13:46Compared to the pitch black silver cells of the black dungeon, this place was heaven.
13:53Early the next morning, Lillian came riding into the square on a dire wolf.
13:57She pulled the reins and blew a dog whistle right at me.
14:00My head snapped up on reflex, and I put on a pleading smile.
14:06The contempt on Lillian's face was blatant and naked.
14:10How pathetic.
14:12No different from the lowest stray mongrel.
14:15She told the guards to stop, walked up to me, and held her wrist out in front of my face.
14:21Come on, good doggy.
14:23Be a good girl.
14:24Bite me.
14:25I bared my teeth like a dog, and bit down hard on her wrist.
14:30Lillian screamed.
14:32Vincent had just arrived, and caught the scene.
14:35He flew into a rage.
14:36Sophia!
14:37Storming over, and backhanding me across the face.
14:45Have you actually lost your goddamn mind?
14:47When the hell did you learn to bite people like some kind of stray dog?
14:50I didn't argue.
14:51I just kept smiling that same pleading, dog-like smile.
14:55Vincent, look.
14:57She's still smiling at me.
14:58It's so creepy.
14:59Lillian collapsed into his arms.
15:01Something's definitely broken in her wolf spirit.
15:03You need to send her to the mad wolf tower right now.
15:06Vincent looked at my hollow eyes, and that eerie, empty smile, and a chill ran down his spine.
15:13He nodded, and said to the guards,
15:17Send her to the mad wolf tower.
15:20Let the witches give her some real treatment.
15:22That very night, the tower's witch doctor brought me a full bottle of mind-rot elixir,
15:27and said flatly,
15:29Drink.
15:30I obediently took the bottle,
15:32twisted off the cap,
15:33and poured every last drop into my mouth,
15:36swallowing it down.
15:37In the middle of the night,
15:39during rounds,
15:41the attending witch doctor found the entire bed stained black from the blood I'd vomited up.
15:45They pulled me back from the edge.
15:47The first thing I saw when I regained consciousness was my mother,
15:51weeping uncontrollably.
15:53How did my Sophia end up like this?
15:57She wasn't like this before.
16:00She wasn't like this.
16:01No, I wasn't.
16:03Before,
16:03I was radiant,
16:05arrogant,
16:06proud,
16:07the most beloved little princess of the Frostfang clan.
16:10But the girl I was before,
16:12she died the moment they threw me into the black cells.
16:15Dad stood in the doorway.
16:16In the end,
16:17she's not our blood.
16:19Inferior Strock.
16:23She probably found out her real background and couldn't accept it.
16:27Now she's trying to manipulate us,
16:28harm us.
16:30I opened my mouth,
16:31trying to say that wasn't true,
16:33that I would never hurt them,
16:35but they'd poured too much elixir down my throat.
16:37Not a sound came out.
16:40Just then,
16:41Lillian's tearful voice drifted in.
16:43If Sophia wakes up and really holds a grudge against me,
16:46I'm afraid it won't just be my leg that's broken this time.
16:51Vincent let out a quiet sigh.
16:54I'll pay ten times the price.
16:56Have the witch doctors hold off on Sophia's treatment.
17:00It'd be better
17:02if she just died here in the tower.
17:04And then I understood what the family wanted.
17:06As soon as a tiny shred of strength
17:08returned to my body,
17:09I used every ounce of it
17:11to tear the healing rune stone off my chest.
17:13My heartbeat and blood pressure
17:14went haywire immediately.
17:16Vincent screamed on reflex.
17:18Witch myth!
17:19Save my sister!
17:20Now!
17:21Every trace of color
17:22draining from his face.
17:24The witch doctors rushed in just in time
17:26and pulled me back again.
17:29Lillian watched Vincent's frantic expression,
17:32a flash of jealousy flickering through her eyes.
17:34She lost all composure
17:36and screamed,
17:37Sophia, are you done with this little act yet?
17:40Clearly those seven years didn't fix a thing!
17:43I'm gonna have Mom and Dad
17:44send you right back to the black cell!
17:46I listened quietly.
17:48Not a hint of resistance on my face.
17:50But to my surprise,
17:51Vincent's brow furrowed.
17:53He hesitated.
17:54Sending her back there.
17:57What if something goes wrong?
18:00Mom nodded too.
18:02He's right.
18:03Last time we picked her up,
18:05her whole body was covered in injuries.
18:07She'd been tortured
18:08until she barely looked human anymore.
18:11Lillian's chest tightened.
18:12Sophia, answer me.
18:13She turned to me first.
18:14Are you willing to go back to the black cells
18:16and continue your reconditioning?
18:19Yes.
18:21Thank you, Sister Lillian.
18:26Lillian suddenly let out a sigh.
18:28You've been fooling this family for seven years.
18:30You really gonna keep treating everyone like idiots?
18:33To make her believe me,
18:34I grabbed the silver dagger nearby
18:36and started stabbing it into my own arm.
18:38One cut after another,
18:40each one deep enough to show bone.
18:43In those seven years,
18:44this was the only way.
18:46Self-mutilation.
18:47Until the guards were satisfied.
18:49Then I get a bowl of rotten leftovers.
18:53I looked up at her.
18:54Blood all over me.
18:56And put on a pleading smile.
18:58Lady Lillian,
18:59do you believe me now?
19:01But the only response I got
19:03was Vincent's roar.
19:04God, you're disgusting!
19:06The moon feast is about to start.
19:08Stop embarrassing the Frostbake name!
19:11Before leaving,
19:12Lillian rolled her eyes,
19:14leaned in close,
19:15Sophia,
19:16and whispered in my ear,
19:17If you gravel and lick the tip of my boot
19:19in front of everyone at the moon feast tonight,
19:22then we'll believe you're not faking it.
19:27Okay.
19:28After a sloppy bandage job,
19:30I limped my way to the assembly square.
19:32The bonfire light
19:33stabbed at my eyes.
19:35Everyone stared at the gauze
19:37wrapped all over my body
19:38with a mix of disgust and shock.
19:41Mom nearly jumped out of her skin.
19:45Sophia!
19:46Why aren't you at the healing spring recovering?
19:49What are you doing here?
19:50I ignored her.
19:51Walked straight up to Lillian.
19:53Dropped to one knee without hesitation.
19:55Reached out.
19:56And pulled off her boot silver stud
19:58studded the heel.
19:59A smug smile curled at the corner of Lillian's mouth.
20:02She ground the heel deliberately
20:04straight into the still bleeding wound on my foot.
20:06I coughed up two mouthfuls of blood
20:08and struggled back to my feet.
20:10I knew the family still hadn't forgiven me.
20:13I wanted to smash my head
20:14against the stone pillar again.
20:16To atone.
20:17If I used a little more force this time,
20:19cracked my skull wide open,
20:21surely then they'd let it go.
20:23Enough!
20:24Stop torturing yourself!
20:26Mom screamed,
20:26like she was losing her mind.
20:28Throw her back into the black cells.
20:31Sophia,
20:32you'd better die fast.
20:34Don't keep Lillian from living her life.
20:36But Dad was already giving orders to the guards.
20:39The guards dragged me like a piece of trash
20:41and dumped me into the iron cage of the prison cart.
20:43Not a single member of the family looked back.
20:46They were too busy escorting Lillian into the healing spring
20:49for a full-body examination.
20:51And so,
20:52I returned to that familiar place.
20:54The guard tossed a burning torch
20:56into a pile of hay and snarled.
20:58You move a muscle you'll be sorry.
21:02He locked the door and left.
21:05I curled up obediently in the corner.
21:07Even when I saw the torch ignite the hay.
21:10Even when the flames climbed up the wooden beams.
21:13I did nothing.
21:14When the fire came roaring down on me from all sides,
21:17I closed my eyes in peace.
21:19and waited for death.
21:20Truth was,
21:21I wanted to ask I've been so obedient.
21:24When I'm really dead,
21:25can I finally go home?
21:27At the healing spring,
21:28the whole family breathed a small sigh of relief.
21:31As they looked over Lillian's
21:33completely normal examination results.
21:35That's when Ethan walked in.
21:37Holding two thick sheepskin scrolls,
21:39he tossed the first one onto the table.
21:41His voice deadly serious.
21:44Sophia isn't acting.
21:45Her abnormal behavior is due to the permanent stripping of her wolf spirit.
21:49This is her wolf spirit extraction covenant,
21:52signed seven years ago.
21:53The signatory is Lillian.
21:55The executed.
21:56The dark witch,
21:57Morgana.
21:58A sickening premonition coursed through Mom.
22:01Stripping of her wolf spirit.
22:04What does that mean?
22:06What does that mean?
22:08It means Sophia's wolf spirit was violently torn from her soul.
22:13And sealed inside a black obsidian core.
22:15Without her wolf spirit,
22:16she has no emotions left.
22:18No instincts,
22:19no ability to resist.
22:20She can't feel fear,
22:21can't feel pain.
22:22To satisfy others,
22:23she will follow any command she's given,
22:24even if that command kills her.
22:26The black cells were never a rehabilitation facility.
22:28They were a dark witch's lair.
22:31Lillian paid a massive sum to buy off the people there.
22:34The three of them felt their heads explode with a deafening roar.
22:37And one more thing.
22:39You've been wrong for seven years.
22:40Ethan pulled out the second file.
22:43This is the authentic Bloodstone of Truth verification scroll.
22:46The report displayed it clearly.
22:48Sophia Frostfang and the Ironmane Lord bloodline resonance pattern.
22:52Perfect alignment.
22:54Biological father-daughter relationship confirmed.
22:57There was never any half-blood mongrel.
22:59Ethan looked at them,
23:01enunciating every word.
23:02From the very beginning,
23:03Sophia has been your only family.
23:06Lillian is the imposter.
23:08She doesn't even have a wolf spirit.
23:12How is that possible?
23:14That's impossible.
23:14Isn't I both?
23:16No.
23:17Lillian would never do something like that.
23:21Lillian is my real sister.
23:23Dad's hands trembled uncontrollably
23:25as he gripped the scroll.
23:27He shot to his feet.
23:28Now!
23:30Lillian's running another true blood test now.
23:32Right now!
23:34I don't believe it!
23:35Just then,
23:36I don't believe it.
23:37A guard burst in.
23:38My lord!
23:39It's mad!
23:40The black cells are on fire!
23:43The entire dungeon is burning down!
23:45The three of them tore out of the healing spring like madmen
23:48and rode their dire wolves toward the black cells.
23:51By the time they arrived,
23:52all that was in front of them was a roaring inferno of hellfire,
23:56painting the whole sky blood red.
23:58The fire swallowed the entire dungeon.
24:01I stood at the heart of the flames,
24:03still as a dead tree.
24:05The feeling of fire licking its skin,
24:08it's strange.
24:09I remember,
24:10seven years ago,
24:11I would have been terrified.
24:13I would have screamed.
24:15Would have fought my way out.
24:16But now I just stood there,
24:18waiting for the fire to turn me to ash.
24:21Maybe it's better this way.
24:23Burned clean.
24:24Then I won't have to go back to Frostfang Keep.
24:26Won't have to be a burden on the family anymore.
24:29Thick smoke filled my lungs.
24:31I coughed mechanically a few times,
24:32and my body started collapsing against my will.
24:35Just before consciousness slipped away,
24:37I heard someone screaming my name,
24:39like their soul was being torn apart.
24:41Sophia!
24:43Must be a hallucination.
24:45No one from the Frostfang clan
24:47would come here to save me.
24:48Sophia!
24:50The searing heat parted
24:51as a solid body crashed through Vincent.
24:54He wrapped his arms around me in a death grip
24:56and dragged me out with everything he had.
24:58His clothes were singed black.
25:00His arms smashed bloody
25:02by a burning silver beam falling from above.
25:04But he never let go.
25:07You idiot!
25:08There's a fire and you don't know how to run!
25:10His voice was shaking.
25:12Scalding tears fell onto my face.
25:14You just stood there waiting to die.
25:18I opened my mouth,
25:19trying to say the guard told me to sit tight.
25:22So I sat tight.
25:23But the smoke was too thick.
25:25I couldn't get the words out.
25:27Mom and Dad charged in too.
25:29The four of us,
25:30they dragged me out of that inferno like madmen.
25:33My whole body was burned.
25:34My skin a mess of blisters.
25:36But I felt nothing.
25:37I just watched them cry.
25:39Utterly confused.
25:41Why were they crying?
25:43Didn't they tell me to die fast?
25:44Didn't they tell me to die fast?
25:45The bells of the emergency sled
25:47split the night sky.
25:48As they lifted me onto the stretcher,
25:50Vincent clutched my hand so tight
25:52his knuckles went white.
25:54If you dare die,
25:55I will never forgive you!
25:57He was giving me orders again.
25:59Okay.
26:01Then everything went black.
26:03I lay in the healing spring for three days.
26:05They say in those three days,
26:08Vincent didn't leave once.
26:10Dad pulled every string he had.
26:12Brought in the best burn witch doctors
26:14from the southern moonlight wolf clan.
26:16Mom knelt outside the healing chamber,
26:19crying until she passed out.
26:20Woke up and kept crying.
26:23I wasn't dead.
26:24The mission wasn't complete.
26:26So I wasn't allowed to die.
26:27The thought had barely surfaced
26:29when I heard commotion outside the door.
26:32Two guards were shoving Lillian down the corridor.
26:34Her face was ghost white.
26:35What are you doing?
26:37Dad!
26:37Mom!
26:40What did I do wrong?
26:42Dad didn't say a single word.
26:45Draw her blood.
26:46Test it now.
26:49I want to see who the hell you really are,
26:51you animal!
26:55Dad, what do you mean?
26:57I'm your real daughter.
27:00You saw the bloodstone of truth!
27:02Vincent slapped her across the face.
27:04His eyes bloodshot.
27:06Shut up!
27:06That bloodstone was a forgery.
27:08The real verification is with Ethan.
27:11Sophia is my real sister.
27:12You lied to us for seven years!
27:16Lillian's face whipped to the side,
27:18blood trailing from the corner of her mouth.
27:20She slowly turned back,
27:22and her eyes,
27:23her eyes went cold.
27:24I knew that look too well.
27:26Her voice suddenly went soft,
27:29soft as a viper flicking its tongue.
27:30Brother, what are you talking about?
27:34Sophia is a half-blood mongrel.
27:37She stole my place.
27:39Dad hurled the real bloodstone verification report.
27:42Enough!
27:45You and Sophia were doing the test again,
27:47right now,
27:47right in front of me.
27:49Let's see who the hell you really are,
27:51you bastard whoop of god knows who!
27:53Lillian stared at the report on the floor.
27:56Every last drop of color drained from her face.
27:58She didn't say another word.
28:00When the witch doctor finished drawing her blood,
28:03I saw her hands were shaking,
28:05and I lay there in the healing pool,
28:07watching it all through the mist.
28:09Not a flicker of expression on my face.
28:12Whether they tested or not,
28:13it had nothing to do with me.
28:15I just needed to obey.
28:17Three days later,
28:18the results came back.
28:19The witch doctor held the report-
28:20Results confirmed.
28:23Sophia Frostveld is the biological daughter
28:24of the Ironhelm Lord.
28:26Dead silence.
28:27Then mom was the first to break.
28:29It was a soul-rending wail,
28:31like someone had reached into her chest
28:33and ripped her heart out.
28:35She stumbled into the healing chamber,
28:37collapsed on her knees by my pool,
28:39her trembling hands afraid to touch
28:41the bandages on my body.
28:42Sophia, Sophia, mom is so sorry.
28:45Mom is so, so sorry.
28:48Dad stood in the doorway.
28:49All the strength sucked out of him.
28:51He was gripping the doorframe
28:53just to stay on his feet.
28:54His lips trembled.
28:55He tried to say something.
28:57Nothing came.
28:59Vincent leaned against the wall,
29:00tears streaming down his face in silence.
29:03He tipped his head back,
29:05fighting desperately to hold it in.
29:07Then he dropped to the floor,
29:08crouched down,
29:09and wrapped his arms around himself.
29:12Seven years.
29:13We believed that monster for seven years.
29:17We sent our own sister to that hellhole.
29:19I, with my own hands.
29:22He couldn't finish.
29:23The crying pulled me from the haze.
29:25I opened my eyes groggily
29:27and saw three tear-soaked faces.
29:29They were crying again.
29:31Had I done something wrong?
29:33On instinct,
29:34I tried to get up and apologize,
29:36but my body wouldn't move.
29:38The burned skin pulled tight.
29:40The waters of the healing pool
29:41churned violently.
29:43Sophia, don't move.
29:45Don't move.
29:46Mom pressed me down frantically.
29:47It's all Mom's fault.
29:50Mom should never have believed
29:52that monster's words.
29:56I looked at her,
29:57confused.
29:58No, that's not right.
30:00I'm the one who's supposed to apologize.
30:02When you do something wrong,
30:04you apologize.
30:05Otherwise, you get punished.
30:09I'm sorry.
30:10I heard my own voice,
30:12rough as sandpaper,
30:13scraping down her throat.
30:16I'll die now.
30:21Vincent lunged forward
30:22and grabbed my hand,
30:24his whole body shaking.
30:25Sophia, listen to me.
30:27You didn't do anything wrong.
30:29We're the ones who were wrong.
30:31We were deceived
30:32by that monster Limian.
30:33You are my real sister.
30:35That bloodstone of truth.
30:37She forged it.
30:38From the very beginning,
30:39it was all her.
30:40I froze.
30:41Not because of what he said,
30:43but because he was crying.
30:45Vincent never cried.
30:46He was always so far above me,
30:49always so cold and composed,
30:52always speaking to me in commands.
30:53But now he was kneeling on the floor,
30:56face covered in tears,
30:58the hand holding mine
30:59trembling uncontrollably.
31:00I'm here.
31:01Sophia, I'm here.
31:03Are you angry at me again?
31:06You angry at me?
31:07The moment those words left my mouth,
31:09Vincent shattered.
31:10No.
31:12Brother's not angry.
31:14Brother hates himself.
31:17Brother wants to kill himself.
31:19Dad finally walked in.
31:21He crouched down by my pool,
31:24his rough palm resting on my forehead.
31:26That hand was shaking.
31:29Sophia.
31:31Dad is so sorry.
31:33Mom brought in the best wolf spirit healers
31:35in the north.
31:36After the final diagnosis,
31:38the entire family fell silent.
31:40The lead witch doctor said,
31:41Sophia's wolf spirit extraction was complete.
31:44The damage is irreversible.
31:46She can no longer feel fear, grief, anger, or pain like a normal wolf.
31:52She has lost the instinct to protect herself.
31:55She will obey any command, even if it kills her.
31:59Mom broke down.
32:00Vincent's face turned pale.
32:02No.
32:03Sophia used to be so proud.
32:06So alive.
32:07Dad said nothing.
32:08He slammed his fist into the stone wall,
32:11then turned toward the cellar where Lillian was being held.
32:14The cellar door was kicked open.
32:16Lillian was dragged out by the guards.
32:18Even then, she was still smiling.
32:21So the truth finally came out?
32:30Lillian laughed because she had everything.
32:33The bloodline.
32:34The inheritance.
32:35Your love.
32:37Everyone looked at her.
32:39I only regret one thing.
32:42I should have asked the witch to tear out her soul, too.
32:46Dad struck her across the face.
32:48Lillian fell to the floor.
32:50Blood at the corner of her mouth.
32:51Still laughing.
32:53Hit me.
32:53Kill me.
32:55Your precious daughter is never coming back.
32:58Vincent raised his hand again.
33:00Enough!
33:01Sophia needs you more.
33:03But Mom stopped him.
33:04Vincent clenched his jaw and turned away.
33:07None of them saw the hatred in Lillian's eyes.
33:09That evening, Vincent came to the healing chamber.
33:13He stood beside the pool.
33:14Sophia.
33:15And looked at me for a long time.
33:17You don't have to wait for orders anymore.
33:19Do whatever you want.
33:20No one will command you again.
33:24I stared at him in confusion.
33:26Do whatever I want.
33:28In the black cells, anyone who acted without permission had their bones broken.
33:32The word obey had been carved deeper into me than memory.
33:36Vincent's eyes reddened.
33:38I was wrong.
33:39I should never have believed Lillian.
33:41I should never have let them send you there.
33:43I watched him cry.
33:44I did not understand his pain.
33:46After my wolf spirit was torn away, all I knew was obedience.
33:52At that moment, the healing chamber door burst open.
33:56Lillian rushed in, holding a stolen paralysis staff.
33:59Blood covered her face.
34:02Lillian, stop.
34:03Vincent, instantly stood in front of me.
34:07You pity her now?
34:09Then I'll make her die!
34:10If she dies, you'll remember her forever!
34:14She swung the staff down.
34:16Vincent did not dodge.
34:18He threw himself over me and took the blow with his back.
34:21The current tore through him, but he held me tighter.
34:24Sophia, don't be afraid.
34:27Brother is here.
34:28Lillian drew a silver bone.
34:29Then die together!
34:31For one second, the healing chamber went silent.
34:35Mom screamed.
34:36Dad kicked Lillian away.
34:37But it was too late.
34:39The dagger was buried in Vincent's chest.
34:41Blood spread through the healing pool.
34:43I pressed my hands against his wound.
34:46For the first time, my voice shook.
34:48Witch doctor!
34:49Call the witch doctor!
34:51Vincent leaned against me.
34:53Sophia.
34:54Brother is sorry.
34:57Don't talk!
34:59The witch doctor is coming.
35:00He lifted his blood-covered hand and touched my face.
35:03From now on, no one commands you.
35:07Do whatever you want.
35:09Be yourself.
35:10I held him as his body grew cold.
35:12I did not understand what I was feeling.
35:15Vincent died at Moonset.
35:16Lillian was convicted of murder, forbidden witchcraft, and bloodline forgery.
35:21The silver moon council sentenced her to banishment into eternal night.
35:25I did not attend the sentencing.
35:27I sat alone in the highest tower of Frostfang Keep, and watched the moon disappear.
35:32My brother was dead.
35:34He died for me.
35:35When he stood in front of me, he did not hesitate.
35:38Mom and dad begged me to stay.
35:40They promised to give me everything the Frostfang family had.
35:43But I felt nothing.
35:44Not forgiveness.
35:46Not hatred.
35:47Only emptiness.
35:48When I recovered, I packed my things, and left Frostfang Keep alone.
35:53Mom chased after me.
35:57That doesn't make it up to you.
36:00No.
36:02Dad's voice broke.
36:04Then what do you want?
36:05I looked toward the northern road.
36:07I want my brother back.
36:09The wind passed between us.
36:10No one spoke.
36:12You can't give me that.
36:13I left without looking back.
36:17I took an ox cart to Grey Tide Town.
36:19A small fishing village by the sea.
36:21There was no Frostfang Keep there.
36:23No black cells.
36:25No commands.
36:26I rented a wooden cabin near the water.
36:29Next door lived a mute boy named Jack.
36:32One day, I gave him half of the fish stew I had made.
36:35He smiled.
36:36And gave me a thumbs up.
36:38I stared at him for a long moment.
36:40Then I copied him.
36:41Two months later, Mom and Dad found me.
36:44Come home.
36:45Mom begged.
36:46I shook my head.
36:48This is my home now.
36:50Don't come again.
36:55Dad asked.
36:56What will it take for you to forgive us?
36:58I don't need to forgive you.
37:00Then what do you want?
37:02Then what do you want?
37:03I want Vincent back.
37:06You can't give me that.
37:10Maybe some things cannot be taken away.
37:12Not even by a dark witch's rite.
37:15My brother told me to be myself.
37:16So I would start by learning how to live.
