Short filmTranscript
00:11As a vampire, time should have meant nothing, but over 4,000 days of darkness is enough to drive even
00:18the most elegant noble man.
00:19My skin has turned a translucent pale from extreme bloodthirst. The silver suppresses most of my power, leaving me unable
00:27to move. Until I met her.
00:30Rumor had it that the Earl of Blackwood once had a lost daughter. After she disappeared, the Countess, overwhelmed by
00:37grief, adopted another girl to fill the void.
00:40Half a year ago, when the Blackwoods finally found their true heir, Evelyn, and sent someone to fetch her from
00:46the countryside.
00:47Their carriage stopped here for a brief moment. Her red eyes collided with mine, as I opened them in the
00:53darkness.
00:53Give me something to eat, or let me drain your blood.
00:58Evelyn handed over half a piece of black bread.
01:02You think I'm a beggar? I want what they have.
01:05I pointed at the roasted chicken in the coachman's hand nearby.
01:08I haven't entered the manor yet. The Blackwoods don't keep idle hands. This is my own ration.
01:15The Blackwood family was wealthy enough to rival nations.
01:18A few years ago, at a banquet in the Earl's Domain, I had seen the adopted daughter, Chloe.
01:24At that time, the Countess had wept publicly, lamenting her agonizing longing for her lost child.
01:31But now, the only food his biological daughter has is black bread.
01:35You are a lady! Have some dignity!
01:38The maid struck the black bread away harshly.
01:40Eating such filth brings shame to this house!
01:44This bumpiel isn't even fit to be Miss Chloe's cat!
01:47The Earl and Countess knew where she was three years ago. They didn't fetch her because she looked filthy.
01:51If not for a marriage alliance, who'd bother fetching an orphan from the stables?
01:55She reeks of mature. Even silk can't wash off the stench of the gutter.
01:59Evelyn clutched her sleeves tightly.
02:08Want to see them punished?
02:11Evelyn froze. The earth around the coffin exploded.
02:14Several vines with poisonous thorns burst from the ground, coiled around the ankles of the three servants.
02:21Shall I go faster?
02:23The vines spun wildly, and screams and wretching echoed across the wilderness.
02:28Evelyn's tears turned to laughter.
02:32What is your name?
02:36When I've saved enough money, I'll find the best priest to grant you eternal rest.
02:41The holy silver spike has me pinned.
02:44Just live.
02:45All I ever wanted was to live.
02:47Don't waste your breath.
02:49I'll come back for you.
02:51But she didn't return for half a year.
02:53Then she appeared once again in the storm-swept wilderness.
02:56She looked terrible thinner, drenched in mud, wearing nothing but a tattered rag of a dress.
03:04The sacred silver spike has trapped your soul.
03:07To be free, a life must be traded for a life.
03:39I stole this blood-placked from the convent.
03:41It's this hypocritical world.
03:44It's because I was too foolish.
03:46Too weak.
03:47To be free.
03:52Come here.
03:53Give me a hug.
03:58i forgot you can't move let me hug you
04:05what is your wish i will grant it i want to die and you want to live you are the
04:11only person who
04:11ever protected me i give my life to you drag those demons to hell for me a vampire's power
04:19is immense but no one can save a heart that has already chosen to die that night the blackwoods
04:25lost a daughter no one cared about and inside that coffin a demon was resurrected
04:42before returning to the blackwood estate i made a detour to the holy monastery deep in
04:47the mountains the queen mother lived there the foster mother of the current king in the past
04:52she had no fondness for me but now after i revealed the truth behind her son's death
04:57she took my side and would return to the palace with me to seek our revenge
05:02i arrived back at the manor on the very day of the adopted daughter's coming of age ball
05:08the grand hall was resplendent and magnificent everyone gathered around chloe with jewels and
05:15silks piled at her feet i heard today is evelyn's birthday too really i didn't know these are the
05:21family heirlooms left by your grandmother i wouldn't give them to anyone else only to my chloe

05:36presented a huge five colored agate for you i specifically requested this from prince hedrick

05:49once you come of age the prince himself will officially announce your engagement
05:55the crowd burst into laughter i pushed open the large door my leather boots clicking crisply
06:03against the marble floor then what about me

06:19the guests all looked annoyed at being interrupted sebastian stared at me coldly with disgust in his
06:26eyes how dare you return to this house do you have any idea how much chloe suffered because of your
06:33disappearance sebastian please don't i've already forgiven evelyn even though she pushed me into the
06:40lake even though she stole my jewels even though she nearly cost me my life more than once i choose

07:23to chloe you are a lowly slut who tried to seduce a stable boy sebastian flew into a towering you
07:29are a
07:29stain upon this family if chloe hadn't been shielding you all this time you would have rotted long ago
07:35i let out a cold sneer who told you i eloped chloe walked slowly toward me still wearing her innocent
07:41disguise evelyn don't be afraid we will keep your secret i've destroyed that love letter you wrote
07:46to the stable boy as long as you kneel and beg forgiveness we can still be a family you aren't
07:52worth her shadow if you weren't my flesh and blood i would have left you to the wolves chloe slipped
07:57her
07:57arm affectionately through mine and leaned in close to my ear her nails dug sharply into my skin as she
08:03lowered
08:04her voice you're quite lucky i can't believe you didn't die out there so it was you who spread
08:11the rumors about me and the stable boy sister are you blaming me i didn't mean to i moved in
08:18an
08:19instant and dislocated her jaw with one swift motion the earl roared furiously the plump and vicious
08:27maid beside chloe was the first to rush forward i delivered a backward sidekick breaking her leg bone
08:34at the same time the dining knife in my hand was already pressed against chloe's neck
08:39try me my tone was cold and calm sebastian drew his sword and prepared to charge forward
08:44another bloodstain appeared on chloe's cheek
08:51scream one more time and i'll cut out your tongue all the guests were forced back behind the earl
08:57i stepped heavily onto the chest of the wailing clock how did your mistress really end up in the lake
09:02the maid was drenched in cold sweat from the pain you were jealous of lady chloe you tried to murder
09:10her
09:11you pushed her in i'll give you gifts anything don't hurt my chloe the silver knife in my hand skimmed
09:18past the countess's cheek next time i'll aim for your eyes if they are blind to the truth then they
09:26are
09:26of no use to you i gave you a chance you wasted it still refusing to tell the truth
09:35i inserted the tip of the knife into the joint of the fat maid's shoulder and slowly turned the handle
09:42this kind of pain isn't immediately fatal but it drags its victims straight into hell long ago when
09:48i was an assassin at alexander's side helping him eliminate his political rivals i studied countless
09:54ways to make people suffer stop we'll give you whatever you want chloe's quarters the inheritance
10:02even the prince's engagement put down the knife and we can negotiate come here i'll tell you exactly
10:09what i want before he could draw his knife my hand had already grabbed his neck i threw the unconscious
10:15him onto the ground did i give you permission to speak idiot i looked back at the trembling count
10:22speaking gently now does anyone else have an objection do as she says no one move
10:31i smiled contentedly and patted the maid's face with that dagger now tell the truth evelyn returning from
10:40the countryside was hated from the very moment she stepped foot in the manor on her first day back
10:46chloe had deliberately cut her own arm to frame her she destroyed the christening gown evelyn had
10:51painstakingly embroidered for the countess replacing it with a pile of rags she even laced the earl's
10:57medicine with slow acting poison only to claim that evelyn was the one trying to murder her own mother
11:02evelyn tried to kill me no i didn't it was lady chloe's orders everything was her doing
11:12she was jealous that you were the earl encounter's biological daughter while she was merely adopted
11:18that's why she wanted you dead that day lady chloe jumped into the lake on purpose just to frame you
11:24and when you were locked in the chapel for it chloe offered to bring you food but she never brought
11:29a single scrap instead she ordered the guards terrorize you in the dead of night evelyn had
11:33survived on the servants leftovers so much suffering endured in her very own home she had returned with
11:39a heart full of hope only to find that the family who should have loved her offered nothing but hatred
11:45and the elitment she forged the love letters saying you ran away with the serpent but in truth
11:51she bribed bandits in the wilderness to kill you to make you vanish forever
11:59the count said helplessly take chloe away the gate was violently rammed open
12:09evelyn you despicable mad woman you dare harm my betrothed i will see you burn to ashes upon the pyre
12:16oh to arrest the true born daughter of this house within her own father's manner have you asked for
12:23their consent the count dropped his eyes the counter stammered for a while then closed her mouth
12:33do you honestly believe that by ruining chloe you can marry me ridiculous i will make you pay for
12:38every sin you have committed kill her i have only one sister and that is chloe even when faced with
12:48the truth you still choose to shield her the truth as a prince if i say chloe is innocent then
12:54she is
12:55innocent and you you are nothing but a murderer driven mad by jealousy take her away bring her to
13:01the high tribunal tell the lord justice to ensure this venomous woman is punished to the full extent of
13:05the law in the shadows judge bell slowly emerged but instead of looking at hadrich he knelt on one
13:11knee in front of my apologies prince neddrick i'm afraid i cannot see
13:17so sorry your highness by order of the king anyone in this room who seeks to harm me
13:24is to be thrown and thrown into the dungeon
13:36i granted you your revenge did i not yet now you take the power i gave you and use it
13:42against my
13:42own son your temperament i lazily leaned back on the velvet lounge chair squinting in the sun without
13:51looking at him i recalled our meeting half a month ago i had gone to the convent to see the
13:56queen mother
13:57and there i crossed paths with the king in a single fluid strike i had unhorsed him
14:04i stepped on his scapula and grabbed his neck the guards were about to rush forward to kill me
14:11but he waved his hand and told them to back off your recent series of actions are very much like
14:17my first
14:18love who passed away many years ago lillian how absurd i was lillian before his queen had me nailed
14:26into a coffin now wearing evelyn's face to play the part of my former self it was of course a
14:33perfect
14:33reflection who better to play the ghost than the woman herself i want you to be my mistress and the
14:41condition i set was simple you must kill chloe for me as you wish alexander had grown old he had
14:53become mellow his former ruthlessness weathered away he no longer has the stomach to meddle in
14:58the private affairs of his ministers he only commanded the lord justice to assist me whether
15:04i succeeded or failed depended entirely on my own hands so i chose a blood soaked path for the
15:11interrogation with the lord justice standing witness and the evidence irrefutable they all broke and
15:17confessed then came prince hedrick eager to vent his fury on behalf of his fiancee alexander hoped i
15:24would spare his son i refused he nearly died as a child and the queen has cuddled him ever since
15:29to see hedrick turn out like this it is a profound disappointment just disappointment i looked up at
15:37him and met his gaze he once told lillian that this was the look he loved most her majesty the
15:43queen
15:43juliana it has been a long time i had meticulously orchestrated prince hydrich's downfall just for the
15:50chance to see you again i hope you are ready to receive the grand gift i have prepared for you
15:56queen juliana maintained a dignified demeanor upon spotting the silver blade in my hand
16:03hedrick is still young he was merely led astray by some wicked influence and acted out of impulse
16:07as queen i have failed to guide the crown pence i am willing to sequester myself in saint mary's
16:12convent to repent for my failings and beg for god's mercy her majesty has been ill for months
16:20today to confess her fault she nearly collapsed on the journey
16:24it was a calculated gamble the normans standing behind juliana controlled a third of the empire's
16:31iron mines and its military if she and hedrick were penalized the normans would not take it lying
16:37down and the cabinet would be thrown into a frenzy once more what alexander loathed most was the sight
16:43of those nobles bickering incessantly in the council chambers she believed this ruse would work just as it
16:49always had unfortunately she underestimated my hand my lady in the presence of the king does a mere servant
16:56now have the right to speak
17:02this wicked influence the queen speaks of does she mean me or is she referring to that woman of dubious
17:09origin chloe you're the one i love if you were wicked would that make me the lord of hell
17:17since this woman called chloe is so insidious manipulating the prince's mercy and plotting
17:21to murder of the royal family i shall sentence her
17:25no father presumptuous if you do not wake from that woman's spell this instant
17:30i will personally send her to meet god mother chloe is innocent she is as pure as an angel
17:35merely framed by a wicked soul her face is already ruined she has suffered more than enough as the
17:41mistress of this kingdom you should be protecting a fragile woman like her his highness remains
17:45unconvinced why not let him visit the chamber of inquisition and witness the interrogation himself the
17:52chamber has 72 methods of torture no one emerges alive hedrick has never seen such carnage
17:59i fear it will shatter his mind instead of wasting your breath begging me you would be better off
18:04educating your useless son continue to pample him and he will be fit for nothing but exile to the frozen
18:10wastes of the north i suppose this counts as me settling the score for you i am not entirely satisfied
18:17but since you stood up for me i shall ensure you are satisfied as well three days later the once
18:24dan arrogant prince hedrick collapsed broken by illness word spread that he had watched paralyzed
18:31as chloe was torn apart her blood slicking the stone floor with her final ebbing strength she had clawed
18:39at his boots sobbing he had fled the scene in a fit of pure unadulterated terror but he remained
18:48ignorant of the truth the blade i used to mark chloe had been dipped in a vampiric hallucinogen
18:54now every time he closes his eyes he sees the spectral image of chloe promised we would be together
19:01forever hydric i was not content with merely shattering a prince's sanity i took the blood
19:07zan crusted gown chloe wore during her agony sealed it within an exquisite gift box and had it delivered
19:14to the earl's manor i heard the countess had coughed up blood and fallen into a coma on the spot
19:20the blackwoods once steeped in glory have become the premier laughing stock of the social season
19:26that my air should be so utterly spinless this shame is a fate far worse than death
19:33alexander sought lillian's ghost within me with a fervor bordering on madness he craved that specific
19:39reckless arrogance in my soul that untamed defiance he came to my chambers almost every day heaping favor
19:46jewels and power at my feet like offerings when passion ran high and emotions were intense
19:52he bit my earlobe and murmured absent-mindedly lillian your majesty look closely i am evelyn true
20:02she was never this submissive if juliana had dared to call her a witch she would have slapped her right
20:07in front of me i hadn't always been so overbearing the only time i had struck juliana was when she
20:14pointed
20:14at my swollen belly and whispered with a sickening smile you have spilled too much blood you are not
20:20worthy of bearing royal seeds even if you carry it to term there is no guarantee you will bring forth
20:26a living soul the cost of that impulse i was sentenced to kneel for a full night in the cold
20:32i lost the
20:32child that had been in my womb for eight months only much later did i learn that when juliana approached
20:38me
20:38that day she was carried a scent infused with abortifacients from the very beginning she had
20:44marked that child for death my child died in her shadow thus her son shall never have peace within
20:49these palace walls what about lillian how did she die i asked softly my fingertips brushing over the
20:58spot where his heart was alexander's body stiffened instantly he withdrew his hand from my long hair
21:04then turned around it is late sleep i cannot sleep my mind is haunted by the memory of my brother
21:10the year alexander went on his great campaign juliana's brother led the holy army to besiege
21:16my estate juliana dragged my brother and forced him before me to demand my surrender you die or he
21:23dies make your choice my family the house of mortani had been falsely accused by the late king
21:29every soul was slaughtered only my brother and i remained i became alexander's shadow an assassin
21:35killing anyone whom he wished to eliminate all for the day i could clear our name and all to keep
21:41that boy alive while hedrick played on rocking horses within the palace my brother had already sworn an
21:47oath to reclaim our family's justice even with juliana's blade at his throat he remained fearless
21:56don't worry about me just run if she dares to flee i will flay you alive it doesn't hurt i'm
22:05a
22:05man i can take it i threw the knife in my hand a sword pierced my chest from behind at
22:11the same time
22:12the one who struck me was my most trusted confidante my closest friend that woman still lives within
22:18these palace walls quietly savoring her wealth and status her life is a debt that must now be paid
22:24the court held a grand autumn hunting dinner juliana forced herself to maintain her pride gritting her
22:31teeth in hatred i defiantly touched my lower abdomen and gave her a creepy smile the wine glass in juliana's
22:38hand was almost crushed by her i got up and left the table alexander looked worried saying be careful
22:45i have this don't worry selena was standing nervously in the moonlight waiting for me are
22:51they still alive what more do you want from me neil i brushed her hand away in disgust she froze
22:58meeting
22:58my cold gaze and finally slowly knelt on the ground yes my lady this place is nowhere near as good
23:05as
23:05the big courtyard you used to live in what's going on doesn't juliana treat you well i failed to bear
23:10a
23:11child for the king this is the fate i deserve what do you want pay more frequent visits to the
23:16queen
23:17since her precious son is bedroom it is only fitting that you go and offer your compassion
23:24if i do this will you release my family you are in no position to bargain with me that year
23:32she was
23:32the only one who had read my brother's letter the hand that sold us out belonged to her selena blood
23:37for blood what made her think she had the right to negotiate from the moment i delivered the keepsakes
23:43of her mother and brother into her hands it was settled every day until her death she would know
23:48no peace on my way back to the banquet i was stopped by lady aurora you look remarkably like an
23:54old
23:54friend of mine i know the king told me i'm just a stand-in for his first love but with
24:00plenty to eat
24:00and the king's favor why should i complain the current situation is a golden opportunity for prince
24:06derek the king is desperate for an able son a chance like this won't come again
24:13aurora tightly grasped my hand the scales of power in the kingdom began to tilt entirely at the subtle
24:20agitation of my fingertips hedrick fell ill and the ambitious derek finally got his chance to shine at
24:27the round table council his mother lady aurora was once my favorite handmaiden at the estate back then
24:33she would follow me timidly calling me sister lillian in a soft obedient voice whenever i
24:41returned to the manor covered in blood she would stand at the end of the long gallery waiting with
24:46warm water to clean my wounds the two people i trusted most deeply one was aurora whom i'd raised
24:52from nothing the other was selena whom i'd saved from ruin yet in the end selena traded my brother's
24:58whereabouts to juliana for a royal title and aurora drove a dagger into my back buying safety for
25:04herself and her son later to be named lady aurora neither of them shall escape now armed with the
25:11evidence i provided aurora has had a duke from the queen's lineage imprisoned for corruption derek
25:17relentlessly curries favor with the people leaving hedrick gasping for air under his pressure within the
25:23palace walls aurora openly aligns with me catching the queen completely off guard aurora raised her
25:30glass to me in the garden a venomous coldness lurking in her smile thank you for the gift dear evelyn
25:36unfortunately the old duke was too cowardly to name hide books before he died
25:41evidence doesn't matter perception is everything prince derek should understand that
25:46aurora's smile faded instantly she thinks she is the hunter what she doesn't know is that
25:53the true hunter often wears the guise of prey
