Short filmTranscript
00:00Eight years after I left the Lycan capital, my brother ran finally tracked down in the desolate borderlands.
00:05I was completely exhausted, surrounded by eight pups.
00:09Hey Lara, didn't you absolutely hate pups?
00:13I thought you only cared about claiming the top seat on the council.
00:16Chewing on a piece of bark, I reached into the mud, hauled out two filthy pups, and hollered at the
00:21others to head back.
00:22Hey Lara, it was Dorian who personally convinced mother and father to drug you back then.
00:27That's how Crown Alpha Corbin switched our engagement.
00:29That rogue might have been ugly, but he kept Serafina safe at the border.
00:33He means no harm, you only suffered a little, don't make a scene.
00:36Eight years ago, Serafine returned to the Asheville pack to reunite with her birth family.
00:40She framed me for refusing to let her in.
00:43These eight years were the lesson they wanted me to remember.
00:46Lara, that rogue is dead now.
00:48We're here to bring you home.
00:51But these pups, they're lowborns.
00:54You can't take them with you, since they've brought you nothing misery.
00:58Just kill them all.
00:59I froze for a second.
01:00Kill them all?
01:01But the one climbing that tree was Sera, the only daughter of Count Marshall Thorne.
01:05The one glaring daggers at her was Lyra, Duke Alistair Greyman's pup.
01:10And those two squatting in the dirt arm-rustling?
01:13They were the two princes of the neighboring kingdom of Solarius.
01:17The silverback guards behind her surrounded me and the pups.
01:20Every one of them unsheathed their claws.
01:22This one absolutely couldn't get hurt.
01:24It was the pup General Theron Ironfin had waited years for.
01:28That entire bloodline run was a pack of untouchable lunics.
01:32What? You don't want them to die?
01:35Lara, don't tell me you plan on bringing this trash back to my territory.
01:40You're happy to get rid of them, right?
01:44I frowned, immediately clamping my hand over Lyra's mouth.
01:48This girl had the most venomous tongue of them all.
01:52Are you feeling humiliated, Alara?
01:54But Corbyn doesn't hold on to your past.
01:56I'm not going back.
01:58Giving Seraphine attitude the second we meet?
01:59Have you even forgotten every damn rule you were taught in the Ashfield Pack?
02:02I didn't just forget the rules.
02:04I also forgot watching Dorian walk away into the snow as he shielded Seraphine.
02:08I forgot the indifference on Corbyn's face when Seraphine crushed my engagement token under her theel.
02:13Eight years is more than enough time to bury the past.
02:16Kill them.
02:18And Lara, don't tell me you actually fell in love with that rogue.
02:24None of them are my pups.
02:25You can't touch them.
02:27You can't handle the consequences.
02:29So what if he was the crown alpha?
02:31Couldn't he see it?
02:32These pups weren't afraid of him at all.
02:35They kept right on playing.
02:36Like he wasn't even there.
02:38Disowning your own pups just to protect them.
02:44Who do you think I can't kill?
02:46I reached out to block the blade, but Dorian's hand cracked across my face.
02:51I thought you were forced to breed.
02:53But it turns out you happily degraded yourself.
02:56You are a disgrace to the Ashfield Pack!
02:58The sharp crack of the slap instantly caught the pups' attention.
03:02My ears rang.
03:02I took a deep breath, my heart sinking fast.
03:04Corbyn!
03:05Doesn't he look familiar to you?
03:07He's your uncle's son!
03:08Even though I thought I pulled him back fast enough, the blade still left a deep gash on Pippin's arm.
03:12I yanked the moonstone bracelet off his wrist and held it up.
03:15Take a good look.
03:16The crest carved into the moonstone marked Pippin's bloodline.
03:19My uncle has no children.
03:21You don't even recognize your own cousin and you call yourself the crown alpha?
03:25My father is Duke Alistair Graymath!
03:27If you want to kill someone, come at me!
03:29This time, Seraphine slapped the token away in disdain.
03:32These are just excuses and fake evidence a lot are prepared ahead of time, aren't it?
03:36I ripped a piece of my shirt to bind Pippin's wound.
03:40Seraphine, harming royal blood is a death sentence.
03:44Royal blood?
03:45Alera, your acting is pathetic.
03:47Seraphine tilted her chin up and smugly looping her arm through Corbyn's.
03:51From a distance, I stared dead into Corbyn's eyes.
03:56Alera, you've learned how to lie.
03:59Alera is trying to pass her pups off as royal blood.
04:02If word gets to the high alpha, the entire Ashford pack will pay for it.
04:06She still hates me.
04:07I'm here. You have nothing to fear.
04:10Corbyn swept her into his arms, dropping a soothing kiss on her forehead.
04:13Eight years and you still haven't learned your lesson?
04:15What exactly do you want?
04:17Seraphine is my biological sister.
04:19You are just an adopted daughter.
04:21What right do you have to compete with her?
04:23What right do you have to hate her?
04:25Every word he spat felt like a blade twisting in my chest.
04:30You had it really rough before, didn't you?
04:32In ten minutes, these pups' parents would be returning.
04:35That was usually when I finished for the day and went home.
04:38Just wait ten more minutes.
04:39Then you'll know exactly if I'm lying or not.
04:44Still lying!
04:46It's not like the Ashford pack can't afford to feed eight extra pups.
04:50If Alara is so desperate to spare their lives, then let them live.
04:55But Corbyn yielded with a nod, a hint of softness melting into his eyes.
04:58Whatever Seraphina wants, I'll stand by her side.
05:01To the public, we'll just call them pitiful rogue pups.
05:06But Alara is a she-wolf of the Crown Alpha.
05:11She can no longer have any ties to them.
05:14She cannot step out of line to make sure Alara remembers.
05:18For every pup we spare, we cut her once.
05:21You three have gone too far!
05:23Alara is brilliant!
05:24My father says so!
05:25I can't believe that Valkia would treat her like garbage!
05:28I'm telling my father, and I'm taking her to Soloris where he'll never touch her again!
05:31My mother is still waiting for Alara to teach her piano!
05:34You are not allowed to lay a finger on her!
05:36If you have the guts, just wait ten minutes!
05:38Using us to threaten Alara, you miserable cowards!
05:42Once my father gets here, let's see if any of you dare to touch a hair on your head!
05:46The guards pinned them all down, who were brutally gagged and forced to their knees in the dirt.
05:49But the ten minutes were up!
05:51Aldric, the captain of the guard, yanked his horse to a hard stop and vaulted out of the saddle.
05:55Stand down! Who the hell do you think you are?
05:57I shot a glance behind Aldric. There was no one else.
05:59You're here alone?
06:01A massive pack of rogues suddenly hit the border.
06:04General Theron took the rest of the men to put them down.
06:06They aren't back yet.
06:07With the border in pure chaos, the escort sent from Solaris to retrieve the two princes couldn't break through either.
06:15Drop the act.
06:16Alara, do you seriously love these rogue pups that much?
06:19You'd die for them?
06:20You'd do anything to save them?
06:25Garak? Aren't you supposed to be dead?
06:28No wonder Alara refuses to come with us.
06:32Garak, the name of that rogue Sirfan, was doing this on purpose.
06:34Corbin's eyes darkened, cold and terrifying.
06:37Get out of here! Go find Duke, Alistair, or Count Marshall!
06:40Both men were heavily decorated war heroes.
06:43Aldric hesitated for a second before immediately vaulting back into the saddle.
06:47Before anyone could react, Corbin charged and drew his blade.
06:50He knocked Aldric clean off his horse and drove the sword straight toward his chest.
06:54Corbin, stop!
06:56Aldric rolled to dodge the lethal strike, but he was outnumbered.
06:59He is the captain of the border guard!
07:01One by one, the guards plunged their long swords deep into his flesh.
07:04Hot blood splattered across my face.
07:06I stood there frozen, jaw slack.
07:08Don't hurt him. He shouldn't be treated like this.
07:10They yanked their swords free, leaving dozens of bloody puncture wounds across his body.
07:14The blood just wouldn't stop pouring out.
07:16Aldric dropped to one knee, trying to keep himself from collapsing.
07:18Only for one of Seraphine's guards to stomp on his neck and slam his forehead into the dirt.
07:24Elara, what captain are you talking about?
07:27He drew a weapon on Corbin.
07:29He's clearly a traitor who tried to kill the Crown Alpha.
07:33Elara, you should really focus on the choice ahead of you.
07:36Are you saving these eight pups, or not?
07:39I'll save them.
07:40Eight cuts wouldn't kill me.
07:41I owed those eight years to the care of their parents.
07:44After four cuts, the stench of blood in the air was so thick you could choke on it.
07:48Elara Vance! Are you still going to save them?
07:51A few of the pups were sobbing.
07:53I'll save them.
07:55But I'm never going back to Ashford.
07:57It's not your choice whether you return or not.
07:59The debt you owe to Seraphine and to the Ashford pack has not been fully paid.
08:04Dorian, look.
08:05Elina's bleeding so heavily from below.
08:08Is she pregnant?
08:11If she goes home pregnant with a belly she can't even hide, I shouldn't have forced her like this.
08:18I looked down.
08:19It was Pippin's blood.
08:21Kill it.
08:22Following orders, the guards pinned my arms and dragged me backward, leaving my stomach exposed.
08:26Fists slammed into my gut with terrifying force.
08:30Bullshit!
08:31Elina isn't even married yet!
08:33How the hell could she be pregnant?
08:35Aldric's mouth was filled with blood, yet he still fought to defend me.
08:38Bullshit?
08:39If they aren't Alara's pups, why do you care so much?
08:43I coughed up a mouthful of blood.
08:45I blacked out from the agony, only to be jolted awake by even more pain.
08:48Corbin remained indifferent.
08:50Dorian watched coldly, just waiting for the child they imagined in my womb to die.
08:55Alara, your body will heal.
08:57But this pup can't live.
08:58As my consciousness faded, the agonizing memories I thought I had buried forever flashed back frame by frame,
09:04dragging me into a suffocating abyss.
09:06Eight years ago, after turning Seraphine away at the door, I quickly lost fathers, mothers, and Dorian's trust.
09:12Seraphine grew increasingly brazen and ruthless.
09:14On the day of my wedding, I thought I would finally be free.
09:16Free from kneeling until my legs gave out.
09:18Free from living covered in bruises under their disappointed glares.
09:21Believing I had found a tiny sliver of comfort in that endless torment,
09:24I dragged myself into the bridal carriage, my legs shaking with joy.
09:27But Corbin betrayed me too.
09:29On the road out of the Lycan capital, I found countless chances to ditch the guards, running back in tears.
09:34Why did they abandon me?
09:35Why did they have to do this to me today of all days?
09:38I needed to demand an answer from every one of them.
09:40But I couldn't even make it past the capital gates.
09:42The Crown Alpha gave strict orders.
09:44If you are here, it will upset Seraphine.
09:47Outside those gates, I was dragged back into the carriage in despair,
09:50all ten of my fingers dripping with blood from scratching at the gates.
09:53Behind those gates, the deafening sounds of celebration echoed through the city,
09:57with crimson pennons and streamers fluttering in the wind.
09:59The man who swore to spend the rest of his life with me was marrying someone else.
10:03Stop hitting her.
10:04Allura's about to pass out.
10:10Corbin, Allura's still too attached to this place.
10:14There's too much feral defiance in her eyes.
10:16Let's stuff her hair into a tight wrap.
10:18Find it so tight she chokes on it.
10:21We'll keep her locked up for a few months when we get back until she finally learns to submit.
10:26Corbin agreed.
10:26I thrashed and struggled, but their grip was unbreakable.
10:29They brutally pinned my head down.
10:30Pain seared through my roots as my hair was wrenched back.
10:33The cloth was pulled so tight my face swelled.
10:36Seraphine grew increasingly thrilled.
10:39As the guard's mocking laughter drilled into my ears,
10:41I dug my fingernails deep into my palms.
10:44Allura, I failed to protect you.
10:48Where did you find these frauds, Allura?
10:50You're still acting so tough even now.
10:54Lying there in the dirt, I stared at her smug face.
10:57And slowly, I smiled right back.
10:59You're about to find out.
11:00The second the words left my mouth,
11:02the silver bell Duke Alistair had given me began to ring violently.
11:05They were here.
11:08The rumbling of the earth couldn't lie.
11:10Completely oblivious, Seraphine thought I was making my final struggle.
11:14Is that so?
11:18Allura, I'm terrified.
11:20If everything you just said turns out to be true,
11:23the High Alpha will surely throw me into the dungeons.
11:27You wish!
11:28You'll be dragged straight to the execution block and slaughtered!
11:31Dorian and Corbin's faces darkened in unison.
11:35Exactly how many actors did you hire for this stunt?
11:38Allura, it's useless.
11:39He ordered the guards to drag me to the carriage.
11:41Allura, once we get back to the Lion Capital,
11:43we'll have plenty of time to play.
11:45Suddenly, an arrow carrying the force of thunder
11:48pierced through the wooden planks of the carriage.
11:50Corbin snapped his head around to look.
11:52Dozens of warhorses came galloping through the dust.
11:55It was Duke Alistair Greymane himself.
11:59Dorian's breath hitched, his eyes wide with disbelief.
12:05Alia, it doesn't matter how many actors you hire.
12:08We already promised to spare those eight pups,
12:10and we won't go back on our word.
12:13Are you seriously refusing to come home,
12:15willing to die just to befie Dorian and Corbin
12:18over some pathetic rogue?
12:22Even though you've already shared a bed with him,
12:24at the end of the day,
12:25you're still an unwed she-wolf kept hidden by the Ashpen Pack.
12:29Wait, but you seem astute.
12:34Locking yourself away for eight years is unacceptable.
12:37If it hadn't been for mother and father
12:39suddenly insisting on seeing me,
12:41Dory never would have come to pick me up.
12:44Learning on the journey here that the rogue was already dead,
12:47Corbin's mood had improved significantly.
12:49He even told Seraphie to get along with me from now on.
12:53But she was the crown Luna.
12:55What the hell was I,
12:56throwing a desperate tantrum
12:58and making excuses over a rogue in front of the crown alpha?
13:01She highly doubted I would ever live in peace again,
13:04but as she kept spewing her venom,
13:09she completely failed to notice
13:11the complex gazes Corbin and Dorian were giving me.
13:18Warden! Insolent fools!
13:20These pups are of the highest noble blood.
13:22Take your hands off them!
13:24The eight pups finally scrambled to their feet,
13:27but Duke Alistair and his formidable warriors
13:29had witnessed every second of that scene.
13:33Instead of handling pack affairs in the capital,
13:35the crown alpha comes to the border
13:38to brutalize the princes of our allied nation.
13:46Trample on the pups of Lycan war heroes and degrade
13:49my personally invited honored guest.
13:52What madness is this?
13:56Crown alpha,
13:58you brutalize our princes.
13:59Is this your so-called hospitality?
14:03Alara,
14:04you've suffered so much.
14:06Rest now.
14:07We will make them pay for this
14:09and give you the justice you deserve.
14:15Feeling guilty now?
14:17Get on your knees and apologize to Alara this instant.
14:23Tampering with the gray mane crest
14:25is high treason against the high alpha.
14:27A death sentence.
14:29For that alone,
14:30you will suffer a thousand times worse
14:32than Alara ever did.
14:36Catching my breath,
14:38I looked up
14:38and met Serafina's bloodless face.
14:42Impossible!
14:45This is absolutely impossible!
14:47How do you have this many people protecting you?
14:50But pressed by Duke Alistair,
14:53Corbyn couldn't even protect himself.
14:55Alara,
14:56none of them are your pups.
14:58I let out a bitter snuff.
14:59My heart entirely hollowed out by disappointment.
15:02And what if they were my pups?
15:03Corbyn,
15:04you betrayed our love.
15:06Eight years later,
15:07the second we reunite,
15:08you try to slaughter them in front of me.
15:09He is no longer himself.
15:11He is now just my enemy.
15:13You belong back home with me.
15:19Corbyn,
15:20I used to think you truly understood me.
15:23But now I realize
15:24you never understood me at all.
15:26I wanted to climb to the highest peaks,
15:28yet he just wanted to trap me by his side forever,
15:31like an obedient servant.
15:32Corbyn's hands instantly clenched into tight fists,
15:35staring at me from a distance.
15:37The memory of our first meeting
15:39suddenly crashed into his mind.
15:41I had been standing in the grand corridor,
15:44speaking with brilliant eloquency
15:45to the council members.
15:47Unable to tear his eyes away,
15:49he had stood there in silence,
15:51listening for a long time.
15:53Until the moment I walked right past him,
15:55the breeze carrying a trace of my unique,
15:58cold scent.
15:59Alara,
16:01do you hate me?
16:09What really happened?
16:13Alaya,
16:14what did you have to endure these past eight years?
16:18That rogue was actually a lustful thug.
16:22On our wedding night,
16:23I fought like hell to escape,
16:27and was rescued on the road by a military patrol.
16:30Since then,
16:31I had stayed in the military camps,
16:34pouring everything I had into battlefield tactics,
16:36and revolutionizing their recruitment strategies.
16:40Being an unfamiliar she-wolf in the camp,
16:42I naturally caught the attention of a few pups.
16:47Slowly,
16:48more and more pups began clinging to me.
16:51Between me and the Ashford pack,
16:53nothing remains but an empty name.
16:56You have no right to question my life.
16:59Dorian completely froze,
17:01and now the regret was eating him alive.
17:05I thought you were lying.
17:08But even so,
17:09Alara,
17:09you can't let anything happen to Seraphine.
17:11You owe her your life!
17:13You cannot ruin her!
17:19Alara,
17:19we truly had no idea
17:23you were connected to such powerful people.
17:26Father and mother are still waiting for us back home.
17:28They are so worried about you.
17:31As their only biological daughter, please.
17:34For their sake,
17:35let today's misunderstanding go.
17:37One pathetic apology,
17:38and she expected to wipe the entire slate clean.
17:41So,
17:43you are the Seraphine whose place was stolen by Alara.
17:47The one who wandered the wilderness
17:48for all those years.
17:50Seraphine was secretly thrilled,
17:51unaware of his dangerous change in mood.
17:54Alara had no idea she wasn't of their blood.
17:58Even though I was
17:59locked out of the gates
18:01for six hours the day I came home,
18:05she has still been very kind to me.
18:10You nearly killed Alara!
18:13You can beg until your throat bleeds,
18:15but you will not
18:16live to see tomorrow's sunrise!
18:18Seraphine trembled violently,
18:21cowering right behind Dorian's back.
18:22Dorian,
18:23it's all my fault.
18:25Alara has every right to be furious.
18:28Please don't blame her for refusing to save me.
18:31Dorian's face twisted with fury.
18:34Alara!
18:35Father and mother only united with Seraphine
18:37eight years ago.
18:38You want her decapitated
18:40and slaughtered right here!
18:41Is your heart really
18:43that ruthless?
18:48Corbyn,
18:48stop trying to save me!
18:50Just being your Luna,
18:52just getting to die in your arms,
18:54I can die without regret.
19:02Eight years ago,
19:04Seraphine suffered so much injustice
19:07for what she did wrong today,
19:08for all the pain she caused.
19:09I will spend the rest of my life
19:11making it up to you,
19:13but she is innocent.
19:14They thought six hours locked out
19:16was unforgivable.
19:17I lay bleeding,
19:19yet no one cared.
19:20This felt horribly familiar.
19:22She's innocent?
19:23She lived with that rogue
19:24for over a decade.
19:26How could she mistake him
19:27for someone else?
19:28Seraphine was the one
19:29who had personally identified
19:30Aldric as the rogue Garruk.
19:35Seraphine flinched visibly.
19:38I really just made a mistake.
19:40I'm so sorry, Alara.
19:42I didn't mean to.
19:44I haven't seen him
19:46in eight entire years.
19:49Aldric just looks so much like him.
19:52She was lying straight
19:53through her teeth.
19:54I dropped my gaze,
19:55sick of this.
19:56Duke Alistrian,
19:57let's return to the Lyon capital.
20:01Seraphine's death
20:01was a certainty.
20:05Oh?
20:07You were locked out
20:08of your own home.
20:10I once rescued
20:11two individuals
20:12who claimed you tried
20:13to butcher them
20:14to keep them quiet.
20:16A woman capable
20:16of calculated murder.
20:19How could you possibly
20:20be so helpless
20:21to be locked outside
20:22for six hours?
20:23All the color drained
20:24from Seraphine's face.
20:25My heart clenched,
20:26a burning heat
20:27rushing to my eyes.
20:28They only believed
20:29what they saw.
20:30Duke Alistrian,
20:30watch your words.
20:31This is a deep trauma
20:32Seraphine has carried
20:33in her heart for years.
20:34Stubborn fools.
20:36Elada,
20:36don't let this get to you.
20:37Once we return
20:38to the Lyon capital,
20:39I will personally
20:39make sure they pay.
20:40He hadn't set foot
20:41in the capital
20:42for four years.
20:43Duke Alistrian's gaze
20:44was as piercing
20:45as an eagle's.
20:47Corbyn,
20:48all of these crimes
20:49will be brought
20:50before the High Alpha
20:51in the final judgment.
20:52Corbyn and Dorian
20:53couldn't save her.
20:56Seraphine trembled
20:56uncontrollably,
20:57her mind spiraling
20:59into chaos.
21:00Elada,
21:00father and mother
21:01will be devastated
21:02if they hear of my death.
21:03I can't bear to see them
21:04suffer like that.
21:07What do I have to do
21:08for you to forgive me?
21:13Her legs gave out,
21:15collapsing limply
21:15into the dirt,
21:16watching Seraphine
21:17finally realize
21:18she was backed
21:19into a dead end.
21:20I presented her
21:21with a choice.
21:22Slash your own flesh
21:23800 times
21:24and I might consider
21:25letting you live.
21:26800 cuts.
21:28By the end,
21:29she would be nothing
21:30but a mangled corpse.
21:33Dorian's heart
21:33oched for her,
21:34launching into another
21:35vicious tonlaid against me.
21:36I had long grown
21:37used to it,
21:38but the others
21:39had reached their limit.
21:41Prepare the carriages.
21:42We ride for the
21:43Lycan capital.
21:46Duke Alector,
21:47Count Marshall,
21:48the Solaris Enfoi,
21:49and Mira took terms
21:51guarding my side,
21:53escorting me
21:53all the way back
21:54to the capital.
21:59My wounds healed well.
22:07Meanwhile,
22:08Seraphine trembled
22:09in the last carriage.
22:10Despite the endless comfort
22:11from Dorian and Corbin,
22:12she didn't get a night
22:13of peaceful sleep.
22:14Dorian had just returned
22:15from asking the coachman
22:17about the state of my wounds.
22:23If Elida hadn't locked me
22:24out of the gates back then,
22:25maybe Dorian wouldn't
22:26have treated her
22:27like this, right?
22:27Finally breathing
22:28a sigh of relief,
22:29he froze for a second
22:31upon hearing
22:31Seraphine's words,
22:32before nodding
22:33without hesitation.
22:35If that had been the case,
22:37you would both be
22:37the most honored
22:38she-wolves
22:39of the Ashford pack.
22:42I would never have let
22:43anyone lay a finger
22:44on either of you.
22:45Absolutely no one.
22:47Seraphine Sinley-Waharan
22:49and Sliver of Hope
22:49was completely obliterated.
22:51She yanked the carriage
22:52curtains shut
22:52in a total breakdown,
22:53cold sweat pouring
22:54her trembling love.
22:54Seraphine,
22:55do not be afraid.
22:56I will shoulder every crime.
22:57Just promise me
22:58you will live a good life
22:59by father and father.
22:59But Seraphine couldn't
23:00process a word.
23:01Deep in the night,
23:03she crept up to my carriage,
23:04trying to mask her panic
23:06with a vicious glare.
23:09If you slaughter me
23:10or if you kill
23:10Dordomy Elorion,
23:11aren't you terrified
23:12that father and
23:13lunge-agile daughter?
23:14Aren't you afraid
23:15of hearing their cries
23:16in your dreams?
23:16The gashes across my body
23:18were so deep
23:18that bone was visible.
23:20Only my hands
23:21could move freely.
23:23Emboldened,
23:24she dared to shove
23:24her her way
23:25right up up to my face.
23:27Alistair kicked her away.
23:28Find her,
23:29gag her,
23:30and drag her
23:30right back here.
23:32Duke Alistair
23:33shot me a look,
23:34and his men
23:35immediately complied.
23:39Terrified out of her mind,
23:41Seraphine was forced
23:42to her knees
23:42right in front of me.
23:43Staring straight
23:44into her horrified eyes,
23:45I drew a dagger
23:46and plunged it
23:47surthlessly into her shoulder.
23:48Her agonized screams
23:49were muffled by the hag.
23:51You'll die soon enough.
23:52Crawl back to your carriage
23:53and stay put.
23:54Seraphine nodded fantastically,
23:56shrinking backward in terror.
23:57She was tossed
23:57right out of the carriage.
24:00Half a month later,
24:01our convoy arrived
24:02at the Lyon capital.
24:04Having received
24:05the urgent message
24:06long in advance,
24:07the High Alpha
24:08had already been waiting
24:09in the Grand Council Hall
24:10for quite some time.
24:11Since we are passing
24:13judgment on the Crown Luna,
24:15let us settle
24:16every crime
24:17once and for all.
24:20With the High Alpha's nod,
24:22Alistair signaled
24:22at trembling Seraphine.
24:26Two servants
24:27dressed in commoner's rags
24:28were escorted
24:28into the hall,
24:32shrieking like,
24:32Dorian, Corbyn,
24:33Corbyn, don't believe
24:34a single word they say,
24:35it's all a lie!
24:36She reeks of guilt.
24:37Even Dorian and Corbyn
24:38had sensed how unhinged
24:39Seraphine was acting.
24:40Throughout the journey
24:41back to the capital,
24:42Seraphine had been delirious
24:43during the day.
24:44Come nightfall,
24:45she would burst into sobs,
24:47immune of any comfort.
24:48Dorian and Corbyn
24:49merely assumed
24:50she was terrified
24:51of execution.
24:51We're the servants
24:53who barred Seraphine
24:54from the gates
24:55eight years ago.
24:57Worried that the
24:58Ashfield pack
24:59would only answer
25:00to Ellara.
25:01This was the plan
25:01Seraphine had arranged
25:02with us.
25:03We were never acting
25:04on Alora's orders.
25:05Blinded by greed,
25:05we took Seraphine's gold.
25:07Seraphine had us flogged
25:09with twenty lashes
25:10and banished us
25:11just to make
25:12an example of us.
25:14But the second
25:15we were banished,
25:16she sent her personal maid
25:18to slaughter us.
25:20And in the end,
25:21she murdered
25:22that maid too.
25:23Two gold pieces
25:24were shown
25:25to the High Alpha.
25:27Dormund,
25:27you have to do it.
25:29Ellara's conspiring
25:30with these people
25:30to frame me.
25:31Denying everything
25:32until her dying breath.
25:33But Dorian recognized
25:35those two pieces of gold.
25:39Dorian stared at them
25:40for a long moment,
25:41his eyes slowly turning red.
25:49Seraphana,
25:50when I gifted these to you,
25:51I told you,
25:52Mother had them forged
25:53exclusively for you.
25:54Father and Mother
25:54would recognize them too.
25:56Yet eight years ago,
25:56Seraphine claimed her maid
25:57had stolen these two pieces.
25:59You lied to me.
26:00Corbyn was misled
26:00for eight years.
26:02A liar.
26:04Corbyn's voice
26:05was weft.
26:08You all these years,
26:10I was wrong about you.
26:12Duke Alistair
26:13let out a cold scoff,
26:14turning to the High Alpha.
26:15Ellara has distinguished
26:16herself on the fattlefield
26:17time and time again.
26:18I admire her deeply.
26:19If it weren't for her
26:20risking her life
26:20to protect them this time,
26:22both Princes of Solaris
26:23would have been slaughtered
26:24at the hands of these three.
26:25The High Alpha
26:25passed his judgment
26:26on the spot.
26:27Seraphine wailed in despair,
26:28dropping to her knees
26:29and groveling at my feet
26:30for forgiveness.
26:31Elada,
26:32I know I was wrong.
26:33I'll never do it again.
26:37Please.
26:38I'm begging you,
26:39save me.
26:40I'll die out there.
