00:00:00I lay on the stone bed of the sacred infirmary, trembling violently.
00:00:05Every doctor in the Wind Kingdom was on edge for my sake.
00:00:09Yet my husband, Lord Ronan, was nowhere to be seen.
00:00:15I was used to his coldness.
00:00:18But at this moment, having gambled my life and burned my manna to bear this child, the
00:00:25ridiculous shred of hope still flickered in my heart years ago.
00:00:29When I was in a desperate situation, the young Ronan saved my life.
00:00:36That kindness became my lifelong obsession.
00:00:39But he had no idea that I was the sole pure-blooded daughter of the High Elfin King.
00:00:49When I met with disaster in my youth, I was rescued by him, the lord of a mere
00:00:55mid-tier Elfin Kingdom.
00:00:58To repay that debt, I concealed my supreme identity, even using a forbidden ritual to seal away
00:01:05the radiant wings of nature on my back that symbolized supreme divine authority.
00:01:12I willingly became an ordinary female elf, with no background, marrying into his territory,
00:01:19under a false name for years.
00:01:22I remained gentle and submissive, using my own pure-blooded mana to nourish his family.
00:01:29All for a sliver of his affection.
00:01:35Yet, I could never warm a heart of stone.
00:01:38In Ronan's heart, there was only ever room for his first love, Vanessa.
00:01:48The agony intensified as the mana and bloodlines within my body surged in a violent reverse flow.
00:01:56But I held on to my last strength.
00:01:59Yet, all that arrived was a cold, ruthless message from a god.
00:02:04My lady, the lord is busy with official matters and cannot come.
00:02:08Please deliver the child on your own, and do not delay the lord's business.
00:02:12At that moment, a self-deprecating laugh escaped my lips.
00:02:16This life of mine, and the child in my womb, never mattered to him.
00:02:21After an entire day and night of deathly struggle, a soft, fragile wile finally shattered the silence of the infirmary.
00:02:29This was my daughter, a precious treasure, bought at the cost of all my manor.
00:02:43My lady, the lord has finished his external affairs, and has returned to the main manor in his unicorn sacred
00:02:50carriage.
00:02:50Within my deadland heart, a tiny spark suddenly ignited.
00:02:54I instinctively assumed that no matter how cold or selfish he might be, at least he would at least want
00:02:59to look at his newborn flesh and blood.
00:03:01Forcing my exhausted, severely depleted body up, I carefully held my daughter in her swaddling clothes, making my way toward
00:03:06the promenade of the main temple to see my husband.
00:03:09But just as I reached the promenade and looked through the lush courtyard of the sacred elven tree, I froze
00:03:15instantly.
00:03:16The blood in my veins turning to ice.
00:03:19My husband, stood there, tall and elegant in his black robes, and right beside him stood a woman, the first
00:03:25love he had yearned for and never forgotten.
00:03:27It was Vanessa. What struck me like a bolt from the blue was that in front of them stood a
00:03:31little elfin boy, roughly three years old, with long pointed ears and a pair of eyes that flashed with a
00:03:37cunning disguised as inonence.
00:03:39Countless absurd possibilities flashed through my mind, my hands shook uncontrollably from shock and rage, but I forced myself to
00:03:47stand my ground.
00:03:48Enduring the tearing pain of the postpartum mana reverse flow, Vanessa looked up and spotted me, her mouth curving into
00:03:55a flitting, provocative smirk.
00:03:56She intentionally leaned closer, into Ronan's embrace, her voice soft yet dripping with malice.
00:04:02Ronan, so she's the one who stole my man and my title while I was away?
00:04:07Tenderness instantly flooded Ronan's eyes as he wrapped his arm around her.
00:04:12He comforted her softly, even placing a lingering kiss upon her forehead.
00:04:17Right in front of me.
00:04:19When he turned to me, his tone was piercingly cold and dismissive.
00:04:24Think nothing of it, Vanessa. You are my true love.
00:04:30I have never loved her. She is nothing more than a tool to manage the tribe.
00:04:36Ronan, look closely. This is the daughter I just risked my life to give you. Look at her, she was
00:04:42just born. Look how beautiful she is.
00:04:44Ronan cast a brief, indifferent glance downward. In his eyes, there was not a shred of paternal emotion, only naked
00:04:50disgust and annoyance.
00:04:52He swiftly averted his gaze, as though looking at his own flesh and blood for even a second longer would
00:04:56defile his relationship with Vanessa.
00:04:58Vanessa's gaze locked onto the infant in my arms, a flash of venom crossing her eyes. Promptly, she lifted her
00:05:06pitiful face, gazing up at Ronan with a trembling sob.
00:05:10Ronan, she has already born a child for the tribe. Then what about our Jasper? He followed me, wandering among
00:05:16foreign kingdoms, and suffered for three long years. He is your eldest son, the future heir of the Wind Kingdom.
00:05:24Looking at that three-year-old elf and child clinging to their side, I felt as if my soul had
00:05:29been struck by lightning. It turned out that my suspicion was actually the truth.
00:05:33What exactly is going on here?
00:05:36Ronan looked down at me, entirely devoid of guilt, and let out a righteous, cold snot.
00:05:43Good, you saw it. Saves me the trouble of explaining. When Vanessa left three years ago, she was already pregnant
00:05:47with my child!
00:05:48For these three years, she raised Jasper alone among foreign kingdoms, enduring endless grievance. Now that she has returned, I
00:05:54must make it them properly, restoring everything that belongs to them a thousand times over!
00:05:59I stared at the picture-perfect family of three before me, as a boundless despair swallowed me like a tidal
00:06:07wave.
00:06:08Just as I was on the verge of collapsing, Ronan's mother, Elodie, walked over hoarsely, flanked by attendants.
00:06:15Three-year-old Jasper was incredibly sweet-talked, twitching his delicate little elven ears.
00:06:19He immediately ran over on his short legs and tightly hugged Elodie's leg.
00:06:25Grandma! Grandma! I finally get to see you!
00:06:29Mother said you are the most benevolent and noble elder in the entire kingdom!
00:06:36Elodie, who was extremely superstitious about bloodlines and male esters, melted instantly.
00:06:42She gathered Jasper into her arms, treating him like her ultimate treasure.
00:06:47Seizing the moment, Vanetha leaned into Ronan's embrace, weeping with feigned grievance.
00:06:54It's all my fault! If I had been stronger!
00:06:58Your perfect grandson wouldn't have spent three years starving in exile!
00:07:05Elodie's heart ached for them.
00:07:06She snapped her head around to look at me with my deathly, pale face and my weakly, wailing daughter, her
00:07:13eyes instantly turning into daggers of piercing disgust.
00:07:17You nearly died just to produce a magicless, useless girl?
00:07:25What a pathetic waste!
00:07:27Pack up that defective brat and drag yourselves to the Wythen Tower at the border right now!
00:07:33I won't let you bring your bad luck near my precious grandson!
00:07:40Ronan, Iris is your flesh and blood too.
00:07:44How can you just let them trample all over us?
00:07:49But Ronan's face remained completely indifferent, his tone dripping with disdain.
00:07:54Mother is right.
00:07:56Jasper is the future and hope of Wind Kingdom.
00:08:01The daughter you gave birth to has a dull divine mark.
00:08:07She is utterly unworthy of living in the main manor.
00:08:13Going to the tower is your only option.
00:08:17Vanessa threw a provocative glance my way, squeezing her throat to spit out the most poison words.
00:08:23Loser.
00:08:23Since you possess no noble bloodline, staying here will only bring you self-inflicted humiliation.
00:08:32Looking at their hypocritical, I clenched my fingers, and the very last emble of gratitude within me was completely extinguished.
00:08:41The cold wind wowed through the withered tower, a place that never saw a single ray of moonlight.
00:08:48I held my frail little daughter close, huddling in the corner of the freezing stone wall.
00:08:54Having barely survived childbirth, and with my mana completely burned out,
00:09:00my chest felt as if it were being torn apart.
00:09:04By ten thousand winds.
00:09:06Just when I was completely helpless and desperate,
00:09:10the heavy wooden door of the tower was suddenly pushed open,
00:09:15and Ronan walked in, silhouetted against the light.
00:09:19In that single instant, a ridiculous shred of hope actually flared up once more in my deadland heart.
00:09:28He was the child's father.
00:09:30Had he finally softened coming to bring some mana, to ward off the cold?
00:09:36Or to take my daughter and me back?
00:09:38Forcing my mana-depleased body up, my pale looks trembled.
00:09:43Did you come to see Iris?
00:09:45She caught a chill.
00:09:47And the divine mark on her forehead is growing weaker and weaker.
00:09:52Please, save her.
00:09:53But before I could even get close,
00:09:57Ronan took a disgusted step backward.
00:09:59Serafana.
00:10:00As if the child and I were some kind of...
00:10:02I only came here to warn you.
00:10:06Stay in your withered tower quietly.
00:10:08Sign this declaration relinquishing your rights as the primary mistress.
00:10:10And don't try any clever tricks.
00:10:13I felt as though I had been struck by lightning.
00:10:16Taking a shocked step back, I stared firmly at the man.
00:10:20I had loved with my very life for three years.
00:10:24You came all the way to this desolate place.
00:10:28Not to cast a single glance at your own daughter,
00:10:31but merely to force me to give up my position.
00:10:34And to warn me?
00:10:36Ronan let out a cold laugh,
00:10:38his eyes filled with arrogance
00:10:40and a fierce protectiveness for Vanessa.
00:10:44Vanessa is kind-hearted.
00:10:46And she suffered terribly.
00:10:49While wandering among foreign kingdoms with our child.
00:10:52I will not allow anyone
00:10:54to disrupt Jasper's upbringing.
00:10:57I am warning you.
00:10:59Put away that jealous face of yours.
00:11:02Stay where you belong.
00:11:04And do not provoke Vanessa and her son.
00:11:06If I discover that you dare to secretly harm them.
00:11:12Or attempt to steal the resources that belong to Jasper.
00:11:16I will absolutely show you no mercy!
00:11:19In the darkness, my daughter let out a faint, protesting cry.
00:11:23Ronan, however, did not bother to spare even a glance from the corner of his eye.
00:11:27He turned, and departed resolutely.
00:11:30The heavy iron door slamming shut, with a resounding thud.
00:11:33Holding my child, I collapsed into the freezing mud, laughing at my own stupidity.
00:11:38He came only to warn me.
00:11:41The night sky hung low, as the freezing wind raged,
00:11:45through the dead silence of the withered tower,
00:11:47preventing even a single slimmer of moonlight from penetrating the darkness.
00:11:51I had burned through the vast majority of my mana during childbirth.
00:11:55The magic within my body had completely dried up.
00:11:57I could only hold my little princess tightly in my arms,
00:12:00using my own faint body wheat to provide warmth for my infant,
00:12:03who was running a continuous low fever inside her swaddling clothes.
00:12:07Yet at this very moment, inside the Wind Kingdom's main temple,
00:12:11there was a completely different scene,
00:12:14of brilliant lights, music, and extravagant luxury.
00:12:18Vanessa and her son sat on a soft couch,
00:12:20covered in the rarest luminescent beast skins,
00:12:22basking in the attention and adoration
00:12:24of all the high-ranking elves in the kingdom.
00:12:28Three-year-old Jasper fluttered the tiny green elbin wings
00:12:30that had just begun to develop on his back.
00:12:32Holding an exquisite elbin sacred berry in his hands,
00:12:35his face completely smeared with juice,
00:12:38Elada sat high upon her throne,
00:12:40grinning from ear to ear,
00:12:41her eyes overflowing with a dotting pride.
00:12:44Watching this warm and harmonious scene,
00:12:47the more Elada looked at this chubby grandson,
00:12:49the more pleasing he seemed to her eye.
00:12:51Stroking the staff that symbolized her power as the High Priestess,
00:12:54she impatiently turned to prompt my husband, Ronan,
00:12:57who was standing beside her.
00:12:58Ronan, Vanessa and her son have wandered
00:13:01among foreign kingdoms for years,
00:13:03enduring endless hardships.
00:13:06Now my precious eldest grandson is already three years old,
00:13:09and the wind-attributed mana within his body
00:13:11is so abundant.
00:13:13How can he continue to stay in the guest room so illegitimately?
00:13:17Tonight, you must have Vanessa and Jasper
00:13:20officially move into the Lord's main manor,
00:13:23into the bedchambers that rightfully belong
00:13:25to the primary mistress and the heir!
00:13:27Ronan lowered his eyes,
00:13:29looking at Vanessa's adoration-filled face,
00:13:31as she leaned coyly against him,
00:13:33and then at the child,
00:13:34who was sweetly calling him father.
00:13:36The scales in his heart had already tipped completely.
00:13:39Without a shred of hesitation,
00:13:41he nodded his agreement coldly on the spot.
00:13:44Mother is right.
00:13:45The best location in the main manor
00:13:47should naturally be reserved for the heir
00:13:49who truly carries the excellent bloodline of our kingdom.
00:13:53Seeing her son agree so readily,
00:13:55Aloy's face flushed with even more delight.
00:13:57Standing up hauntily while leaning on her staff,
00:13:59she addressed all the tribal High officials present,
00:14:02in a grand, supreme tone.
00:14:03Not only that,
00:14:05Wind Kingdom has thrived to this day,
00:14:07and our bloodline is supreme.
00:14:09Jasper is exceptionally bright,
00:14:11displaying astonishing magical talent
00:14:12at such a tender age.
00:14:13He deserves the recognition of all kingdoms!
00:14:16I propose that in three days,
00:14:18we hold the most grand and magnificent
00:14:19official announcement celebration
00:14:21for three-year-old Jasper.
00:14:23We shall high-profilely declare him
00:14:25as the primary heir
00:14:26of our Wind Kingdom's future!
00:14:29In three days, Jasper would be declared
00:14:31the primary heir.
00:14:33Following her move into the main manor,
00:14:35Vanessa began to carry herself entirely
00:14:36as the Queen of the Wind Kingdom.
00:14:38Dressed in extravagant silks,
00:14:39she glided through the temple
00:14:41flanked by her entourage,
00:14:42soaking in the endless, shallow flattery.
00:14:44Yet a stubborn sliver of anxiety
00:14:46remained buried deep in her chest.
00:14:48Whenever night fell,
00:14:49she would catch Ronin standing on the balcony,
00:14:51staring with a conflicted expression
00:14:52towards that dark, desolate, withered tower.
00:14:55Though he spoke with absolute coldness,
00:14:57subconsciously,
00:14:57he still harbored a faint trace of worry
00:14:59for my baby and me,
00:15:00a worry he refused to admit even to himself.
00:15:03This lingering gaze made Vanessa's jealousness
00:15:05and paranoia grow wild.
00:15:08As long as my daughter and I were breathing,
00:15:10her position and Jasper's future
00:15:12would never be safe.
00:15:13An opportunity presented itself
00:15:14sooner than expected.
00:15:16Early this morning,
00:15:17desperate to give my frail daughter
00:15:18a single drop of clean water,
00:15:20my completely helpless self
00:15:21was forced to drag my broken body
00:15:23out of the tower,
00:15:24heading deep into the woods
00:15:25to harvest pure spring water
00:15:26filtered by ancient divine marks.
00:15:28Learning of this,
00:15:29Vanessa's eyes turned ice cold.
00:15:31She knew her moment had arrived.
00:15:33She quietly dismissed the guards
00:15:35around the main manor,
00:15:36taking only a few of her
00:15:37most ruthless disconfidence
00:15:39as she slipped into the dark,
00:15:41abandoned, withered tower.
00:15:42The wooden door creaked open,
00:15:44letting in the piercing chill.
00:15:46Vanessa stepped over the debris,
00:15:49advancing slow pace by slow pace,
00:15:51until she stopped right in front
00:15:52of the primitive stone bed.
00:15:54Inside her swaddling clothes,
00:15:56newborn Iris was sleeping soundly.
00:15:58Though her little face was pale,
00:15:59the faint golden divine mark
00:16:01shimmering on her forehead
00:16:02radiated an undeniable nobility
00:16:04and purity,
00:16:05a mark that made Vanessa's eyes
00:16:07burn with pure envy.
00:16:08You pathetic little freak.
00:16:11You think you're worthy
00:16:12of Ronan's blood?
00:16:14If you want to blame anyone,
00:16:16blame your useless mother.
00:16:18The mask of innocence
00:16:19slipped from Vanessa's face,
00:16:21her eyes twisting with pure malice.
00:16:24From her wide sleeve,
00:16:25she slowly pulled out
00:16:27a porcelain vial
00:16:28that emitted an eerie green glow.
00:16:30Inside was a forbidden,
00:16:32lethal toxin she had purchased
00:16:33at an exorgent price
00:16:34from the black market.
00:16:36Soul-eating elixir,
00:16:38specifically designed to dissolve
00:16:39a newborn elf's mana core
00:16:41and cause their soul
00:16:43to rot away inch by inch.
00:16:44With a trembling hand,
00:16:45she popped the cork
00:16:46and violently clamped her fingers
00:16:48over my baby's fragile jaw.
00:16:50The sharp pain
00:16:52forced my sleeping princess
00:16:53to snap her eyes open,
00:16:55letting out a weak,
00:16:57agonizing cry.
00:16:58But Vanessa was entirely unfazed.
00:17:01With a distorted,
00:17:02demonic sneer,
00:17:03she forced the entire bottle
00:17:05of icy corrosive poison
00:17:06straight down my infant's tender throat.
00:17:08When I returned to the withered tower,
00:17:11thoroughly exhausted
00:17:13and clutching that tiny container
00:17:15of pure spring water
00:17:16tightly to my chest,
00:17:17what greeted me was not
00:17:18the gentle sound
00:17:19of my daughter's breathing,
00:17:20but a deathly silence.
00:17:22My heart skipped a beat
00:17:25and a boundless panic
00:17:26instantly seized me
00:17:28in a death grip.
00:17:29I practically crawled
00:17:32and scrambled my way
00:17:33toward that freezing stone bed.
00:17:37Iris.
00:17:39Mommy is back.
00:17:41The moment my trembling hands
00:17:43pulled back the swaddling clothes,
00:17:45the sight before me
00:17:46caused me to drop
00:17:47into an abyss of ice.
00:17:51Her originally pink little face
00:17:53was now completely white,
00:17:57even faintly tinged
00:17:59with an eerie,
00:18:00sickly green,
00:18:01deathly energy.
00:18:02What truly shattered my soul
00:18:04was that the faint
00:18:05golden elven divine mark
00:18:07on her forehead,
00:18:08which had been flickering softly,
00:18:10was now darkened
00:18:12across a massive area.
00:18:14Iris!
00:18:17Wake up.
00:18:19Look at Mommy.
00:18:21Don't scare Mommy.
00:18:23Sprinting once more
00:18:24toward the Wind Kingdom's infirmary.
00:18:30I slammed the infirmary doors open
00:18:33with immense force.
00:18:35The sitting doctor
00:18:36took one look
00:18:37at the infant in my arms,
00:18:38who was hanging onto life
00:18:40by a mere thread,
00:18:41and his face
00:18:42instantly changed color.
00:18:44His hands trembled
00:18:46as he probed
00:18:47the fluctuations
00:18:48within my daughter's body,
00:18:49his eyes filling with horror.
00:18:53Heavens!
00:18:55This is the forbidden poison
00:18:57that destroys the mana core!
00:18:59The child's natural core
00:19:00is withering away,
00:19:02inch by inch.
00:19:03She is in critical danger
00:19:05and will not survive
00:19:06past half a month.
00:19:07The doctor's words
00:19:08were like a massive hammer,
00:19:09smashing my heart
00:19:11to the point where I wished
00:19:12I could die on the spot.
00:19:15To suppress this
00:19:16aggressive toxin,
00:19:18we must immediately
00:19:20inject
00:19:21a powerful,
00:19:22compatible mana
00:19:23from her father's kingdom
00:19:25to protect her heart path.
00:19:29Otherwise...
00:19:29Trembling,
00:19:30I closed my eyes,
00:19:31disregarding any cost.
00:19:33I forcibly reversed
00:19:34the remaining essence
00:19:35within my body,
00:19:36frantically activating
00:19:37the soul transmission
00:19:38unique to the elven race.
00:19:40A connection
00:19:41never lightly opened
00:19:42unless it was a matter
00:19:43of life or death.
00:19:45Rowan!
00:19:46Save our daughter!
00:19:47Save our daughter!
00:19:48From the other end,
00:19:49there was only
00:19:50a deathly silence,
00:19:51followed by a completely
00:19:52heartless rejection.
00:19:54Rowan had actually
00:19:55severed my soul transmission,
00:19:57treating my soul cry
00:19:58for hair
00:19:59entirely as nothing.
00:20:04Rowan!
00:20:06I beg you,
00:20:08connect to me.
00:20:13Save Iris.
00:20:14I knelt on the freezing
00:20:16floor of the infirmary,
00:20:17sending out the soul
00:20:18transmission over
00:20:19and over again,
00:20:20even though maintaining
00:20:21it for every additional
00:20:22second brought a tearing,
00:20:23agonizing pain to my
00:20:24dried up sea of consciousness.
00:20:26I refused to let go.
00:20:28At this moment,
00:20:29inside the Wind Kingdom's
00:20:30main manor,
00:20:32Ronan was patiently
00:20:33keeping Vanessa
00:20:34and her son company.
00:20:35Three-year-old Jasper,
00:20:37dressed in a luxurious
00:20:38outfit embroidered
00:20:39with green leaves
00:20:40and gold thread,
00:20:41was pulling back
00:20:42a delicate short
00:20:43wooden mana bow.
00:20:47When he hit the bullseye,
00:20:49it drew bursts of gasps
00:20:51and praise
00:20:52from the surrounding
00:20:53attendants,
00:20:54perhaps perturbed
00:20:55and annoyed
00:20:56by my weeping,
00:20:57blood-soaked pleas
00:20:58that continuously
00:20:59echoed in his mind
00:21:01like an act
00:21:02of self-mutilation.
00:21:03After coldly cutting it off
00:21:05over a dozen times,
00:21:06Ronan finally accepted
00:21:07the connection.
00:21:09His phantom projection
00:21:10materialized in midair,
00:21:12looking down at my
00:21:13battered and wretched form
00:21:14from a great height,
00:21:15his eyes filled with
00:21:16absolute impatience
00:21:18and disgust.
00:21:19Serafana,
00:21:21haven't you thrown
00:21:22enough of a tantrum?
00:21:23Is the soul transmission
00:21:24something you use
00:21:27as a prop
00:21:28to throw jealous fits?
00:21:30Ronan,
00:21:31no,
00:21:32Iris has been poisoned,
00:21:33her mana core
00:21:34is about to shatter
00:21:35and the doctor said
00:21:36we must have
00:21:37the compatible mana
00:21:38from your body
00:21:38immediately
00:21:39to protect
00:21:40her heart path.
00:21:41I beg you,
00:21:43come and see her.
00:21:45Poisoned?
00:21:46The moment Vanessa
00:21:47and Jasper move
00:21:49into the main house,
00:21:50you begin fabricating
00:21:52such an absurd lie.
00:21:54Are you trying
00:21:54to curse my heir?
00:21:56I am not lying!
00:21:58She is really
00:22:00about to die.
00:22:04Enough!
00:22:07I know you are resentful
00:22:08because you gave birth
00:22:11to a daughter
00:22:13and your position
00:22:14as the Lord's Concord
00:22:15is insecure.
00:22:16But I am warning you,
00:22:19do not use a child
00:22:21as an excuse
00:22:24to disturb me.
00:22:27Jasper has to try
00:22:28on his robes
00:22:29for the dawn celebration
00:22:30in a moment.
00:22:31I have no time
00:22:34to play mad
00:22:35with you!
00:22:38Dropping these
00:22:39piercingly cold words,
00:22:41Ronan did not wait
00:22:42for me
00:22:43to utter another syllable
00:22:45before callously
00:22:46cutting off
00:22:47the soul transmission
00:22:48with a wave
00:22:48of his hand.
00:22:51The phantom projection
00:22:52in mid-air
00:22:53dissolved instantly
00:22:54and along with it,
00:22:56the very last shred
00:22:58of my hope
00:22:59was crushed
00:23:00to pieces.
00:23:03After the soul transmission
00:23:04was severed,
00:23:05Ronan stared
00:23:05at his empty palm,
00:23:07his brow frowned
00:23:07tightly together.
00:23:08Even though he utterly
00:23:09detested Serafina's
00:23:10jealous fits,
00:23:11he hearing a word
00:23:12like dying still
00:23:13caused a faint
00:23:14inexplicable wave
00:23:15of irritation
00:23:15and uneasiness
00:23:16to ripple through
00:23:17the depths of his heart.
00:23:18Vanessa,
00:23:18who was watching
00:23:19from the side,
00:23:20keenly captured
00:23:21the shift
00:23:22in Ronan's expression.
00:23:23A flash of panic
00:23:25crossed her eyes,
00:23:26but it was quickly
00:23:27replaced
00:23:28by a profound,
00:23:29calculating look.
00:23:30Vanessa stepped
00:23:31forward gently,
00:23:32considerably smoothing
00:23:33out the wrinkles
00:23:34on Ronan's groves
00:23:35as she spoke
00:23:35in a strained,
00:23:36high-pitched voice.
00:23:38Ronan,
00:23:38the primary mistress
00:23:39wept so heartbreakingly
00:23:40during the soul transmission.
00:23:42It has left my heart
00:23:42in a bit of a flutter
00:23:43as well.
00:23:44How about
00:23:44we go to the infirmary
00:23:46to take a look right now?
00:23:47After all,
00:23:48the little princess
00:23:49is also your flesh and blood.
00:23:51You absolutely mustn't
00:23:52let anything terrible happen.
00:23:54Seeing Vanessa
00:23:54being so magnanimous
00:23:55and understanding,
00:23:56the irritation
00:23:57in Ronan's heart
00:23:58dissipated quite a bit
00:23:59and he nodded immediately.
00:24:01Very well.
00:24:03We will do as you say.
00:24:04I want to see
00:24:06what kind of trick
00:24:07she can fabric it.
00:24:09Then I will go prepare
00:24:10some mana spring water
00:24:11to soothe the child's mind.
00:24:13Wait for me a moment.
00:24:15Vanessa turned around
00:24:16and the moment
00:24:17she was at an angle
00:24:17where Ronan could not see her,
00:24:19the tenderness on her face
00:24:20stently transformed
00:24:21into a twisted,
00:24:22venomous malice.
00:24:23She did not go
00:24:24to prepare any spring water.
00:24:25Instead,
00:24:26she dispatched
00:24:26Trust Vicent
00:24:27carrying heavy gold
00:24:28mana crystals
00:24:29to secretly bribe
00:24:30the doctor
00:24:31who had received Iris.
00:24:32When Vanessa
00:24:33accompanied Ronan
00:24:34and arrived at the infirmary
00:24:35in a hurried rush,
00:24:36she took advantage
00:24:37of a gap
00:24:37while Ronan
00:24:38was speaking
00:24:38with the nurses outside,
00:24:40using the excuse
00:24:40of checking in,
00:24:41first to stealthily slip
00:24:42into the patient room
00:24:43ahead of him,
00:24:44entirely unnoticed.
00:24:46Staring at the infant
00:24:47on the hospital bed
00:24:48who was hanging on to life
00:24:49by a mere thread,
00:24:51the divine mark
00:24:52on her forehead
00:24:52flickering erratly.
00:24:54She ruthless gleam
00:24:55flashed through Vanessa's eyes.
00:24:58She pulled an advanced,
00:25:00consecutive illusion potion
00:25:02from her sleeve,
00:25:03a formula capable
00:25:04of temporarily suppressing
00:25:05toxicity
00:25:06and forging
00:25:07a false appearance
00:25:09of health.
00:25:10Pinching the little
00:25:10princess' delicate neck,
00:25:11she poured the illusion potion
00:25:13down without
00:25:14the slightest hesitation.
00:25:16The instant the illusion potion
00:25:17entered her mouth,
00:25:18the sickly green
00:25:19deathly energy
00:25:20on the little princess' face
00:25:22began to recede rapidly,
00:25:23and the divine mark
00:25:25that was on the verge
00:25:25of cracking,
00:25:27eerily smoothed over.
00:25:29Even her burning
00:25:30body temperature
00:25:31began to return to normal
00:25:32at a rapid pace.
00:25:33Aside from falling
00:25:35into a deep slumber,
00:25:36she looked exactly
00:25:37like a healthy infant
00:25:38who had merely caught
00:25:39an ordinary chill
00:25:40and was sleeping peacefully.
00:25:43The moment Ronan
00:25:44pushed open the door
00:25:45to the patient room,
00:25:47I was collapsed
00:25:48by the bedside,
00:25:48my eyes filled
00:25:50with absolute disbelief
00:25:51as I stared
00:25:52at my daughter.
00:25:52just moments ago
00:25:54after Vanessa came in,
00:25:56under a false pretext,
00:25:58the deathly energy
00:25:59on Iris' face
00:26:00suddenly vanished.
00:26:01Even her shriveled,
00:26:03divine mark
00:26:04smoothed out.
00:26:06Ronan stepped forward
00:26:07with a freezing expression.
00:26:12He only touched
00:26:13her forehead.
00:26:16Irissa,
00:26:17her temperature
00:26:18was normal,
00:26:19her breathing
00:26:19was steady.
00:26:22then he whipped
00:26:23his head around
00:26:24staring dead
00:26:25at my deathly
00:26:26pale face.
00:26:27His voice was sharp,
00:26:30cutting,
00:26:31and poisoned.
00:26:32Seraphana!
00:26:33This is the life-threatening
00:26:35danger you spoke of?
00:26:37This is the shattered
00:26:39core you claimed?
00:26:41Her temperature is normal.
00:26:43Her breathing
00:26:44is steady.
00:26:45As the Lord's
00:26:46Concord,
00:26:46you dared
00:26:47to deceive me.
00:26:49Using your
00:26:50newborn daughter
00:26:51as bait
00:26:52for a jealous tantrum.
00:26:54You disgust me.
00:26:56Looking at his
00:26:57furious face,
00:26:58my entire body
00:26:59turned cold.
00:27:00No!
00:27:01Ronan,
00:27:01listen to me!
00:27:02Just moments ago,
00:27:03she was not like this!
00:27:04It was Vanessa!
00:27:06She came in just now!
00:27:07She fed something
00:27:08to Modell!
00:27:09But Ronan
00:27:09did not believe me
00:27:10for even a second.
00:27:12So I turned
00:27:13to the doctor
00:27:14beside us,
00:27:15as if he were
00:27:16my last saving straw.
00:27:17Doctor,
00:27:19speak up!
00:27:21You clearly
00:27:22told me
00:27:22had been struck
00:27:24by a forbidden poison.
00:27:25You said
00:27:26it was destroying
00:27:26her core,
00:27:27and she would not
00:27:28survive half a month!
00:27:29But the doctor,
00:27:30who had been pale
00:27:31with Terra moments ago,
00:27:32had already accepted
00:27:33Vanessa's massive bribe.
00:27:35He did not dare
00:27:35look at me.
00:27:37Then,
00:27:37syllable by syllable,
00:27:39he pushed me
00:27:39into the abyss.
00:27:40Reporting to the lord,
00:27:41the little princess
00:27:42merely caught a bit
00:27:43of a breeze,
00:27:43but there may be
00:27:44Oda.
00:27:44It is only
00:27:45ordinary discomfort.
00:27:46The primary mistress
00:27:47is unsettled
00:27:48after childbirth,
00:27:49overly sensitive
00:27:49and blowing a small
00:27:50matter out of proportion.
00:27:51My entire world
00:27:52shattered like a bolt
00:27:52from Moments of Blue.
00:27:53How could it
00:27:53suddenly change?
00:27:55Watching me
00:27:56fall to the ground
00:27:57in a distravelled,
00:27:57helpless state,
00:27:59Vanessa,
00:28:00hidden just behind
00:28:00Ronan,
00:28:01let a fleeting,
00:28:02venomous smile
00:28:02of triumph play
00:28:03on the corners
00:28:04of her lips.
00:28:05Then,
00:28:06stepping forward
00:28:07at the perfect moment,
00:28:08she submissively
00:28:09wrapped her arm
00:28:09aground Ronan's,
00:28:10practically melting
00:28:11half her body
00:28:12into his embrace.
00:28:13While casting
00:28:14feigned looks of pity
00:28:15at the little princess
00:28:16on the sickbed,
00:28:17she continuously
00:28:18blew poisonous whispers
00:28:19into Ronan's ear.
00:28:20Ronan,
00:28:21don't blame the primary
00:28:22mistress too much.
00:28:24Iris is a girl
00:28:25after all,
00:28:26born with a weak
00:28:27constitution.
00:28:28It is only natural
00:28:29she panicked
00:28:30when a minor chill
00:28:30threw the child
00:28:31into such a state.
00:28:33It's just,
00:28:34the primary mistress
00:28:35is far too sensitive.
00:28:37Always catching
00:28:38at shadows
00:28:39and blowing
00:28:40minor inconveniences
00:28:41entirely out of proportion.
00:28:42She looked up,
00:28:44her eyes brimming
00:28:45with tenderness
00:28:46and adoration.
00:28:47Jasper's succession
00:28:48ceremony
00:28:48is in just two days.
00:28:50That is the true matter
00:28:51of gravity
00:28:51for the kingdom's legacy.
00:28:53We cannot let
00:28:54Seraphina delay
00:28:55your proper business.
00:28:56Look at these trivial
00:28:57backyard squabbles.
00:29:01Let us return
00:29:02to the main manor.
00:29:04We shouldn't let
00:29:04her hysteria
00:29:05ruin our precious
00:29:06time with Jasper.
00:29:11Ronan averted
00:29:12his eyes in disgust,
00:29:13refusing to grant
00:29:14even half a glance
00:29:15to his biological
00:29:16daughter on the sickbed.
00:29:18Vanessa,
00:29:18you are the one
00:29:19who is truly sensible.
00:29:21Come,
00:29:22let us return.
00:29:23And ignore
00:29:24this mad woman.
00:29:25If she wishes
00:29:26to stay here
00:29:27and make a spectacle
00:29:28of herself,
00:29:29let her be.
00:29:30Leaning triumphantly
00:29:31against Ronan,
00:29:32Vanessa accompanied him
00:29:33as he strode out
00:29:34of the infirmary.
00:29:35Only when the footsteps
00:29:36of the pair
00:29:37had completely faded
00:29:38did the doctor,
00:29:39who had been kneeling
00:29:40on the ground,
00:29:41suddenly collapse
00:29:42in a heap.
00:29:43He scrambled
00:29:44on his hands
00:29:45and knees
00:29:45to my feet,
00:29:46cooting frantically
00:29:47while crying out
00:29:48in absolute despair.
00:29:50Your inus,
00:29:51primary mistress,
00:29:52please do not
00:29:53blame me.
00:29:55I deserve to die.
00:29:56I deserve to die.
00:29:59Why did you lie
00:30:00just now?
00:30:00Madam Vanessa
00:30:01has officially moved
00:30:02into the Lord's
00:30:03main mansion
00:30:03with the heir
00:30:04and enjoys
00:30:05the Lord's
00:30:06absolute favor.
00:30:08She is the future
00:30:09primary mistress
00:30:10of the kingdom.
00:30:11Before the Lord
00:30:12entered just now,
00:30:13she pulled me aside
00:30:14and threatened
00:30:14that if I did not
00:30:15cooperate,
00:30:15she would take
00:30:16my entire family's
00:30:17lives tonight
00:30:17and even have
00:30:18the Lord take my head.
00:30:18She would truly kill me.
00:30:20Listening to the doctor's
00:30:20desperate wails,
00:30:21I looked at my daughter
00:30:22on the sickbed,
00:30:23whose condition
00:30:23was forcibly masked
00:30:24as peaceful
00:30:24by the illusion of poison.
00:30:26Ronan,
00:30:26to cater to your first love,
00:30:27you personally abandoned
00:30:28the sole opportunity
00:30:29to save your biological daughter.
00:30:31You will live
00:30:32to regret this.
00:30:36Three days later,
00:30:38Elid spared
00:30:39no expense,
00:30:40utilizing over half
00:30:41of the Wind Kingdom's
00:30:42treasury
00:30:42to organize
00:30:43an incredibly
00:30:44extravagant dawn trial
00:30:45for three-year-old Jasper.
00:30:47The streets of the main city
00:30:50were carpeted
00:30:51with sacred
00:30:51florencent petals
00:30:52and they went so far
00:30:55as to exceptionally tame
00:30:57nine pure white unicorns
00:30:59to draw a crystal
00:31:01invented float
00:31:03in a high-profile parade
00:31:06across the territory.
00:31:08As Vanessa held the hand
00:31:10of a magnificently
00:31:11dressed Jasper,
00:31:13his delicate little
00:31:14elven wings fluttering
00:31:16and ascended the float.
00:31:19Waves of deafening
00:31:20cheers erupted
00:31:21across the skies
00:31:22of the Wind Kingdom.
00:31:24Meanwhile,
00:31:25in a dark corner
00:31:25of the Grand Hall,
00:31:26I cradled my daughter,
00:31:28whose life force
00:31:29was growing fainter
00:31:30by the moment,
00:31:30watching this absurd fast
00:31:32with cold distachment.
00:31:34Without the Lord's
00:31:35explicit permission,
00:31:36my daughter and I
00:31:37lacked even the right
00:31:38to enter the main hall.
00:31:42Forced to stand
00:31:43in the freezing wind
00:31:44of the Outa Gallery.
00:31:45Just then,
00:31:46Vanessa,
00:31:47basking in the adoration
00:31:48atop the float,
00:31:50spotted my figure
00:31:51from afar.
00:31:52With a flicker
00:31:52in her eyes,
00:31:53she intentionally
00:31:54walked towards me
00:31:55with a smug smile.
00:31:56Covering her mouth
00:31:57with a handkerchief,
00:31:58she let out a feigned sigh
00:31:59of self-reploach,
00:32:01though her eyes
00:32:01were filled
00:32:02with condescending charity.
00:32:04Sister,
00:32:05do not blame Mother
00:32:06and Ronin
00:32:06for being heartless.
00:32:08The Withered Tower
00:32:08is peaceful,
00:32:09making it the perfect place
00:32:11for your magic-deficient
00:32:12daughter to recuperate.
00:32:13Today is our
00:32:14Jasper's succession celebration.
00:32:15You shouldn't have
00:32:16brought her out
00:32:16in the first place.
00:32:17Look at her.
00:32:18Even her divine mark
00:32:19is on the verge
00:32:20of dispersing.
00:32:21We must not let her
00:32:23clash with Jasper's
00:32:24unicorn fortune
00:32:25after today.
00:32:27Jasper will be
00:32:27the rightful first heir,
00:32:29while you,
00:32:30the primary mistress,
00:32:31are fit only to watch us
00:32:32ascend to the peak
00:32:33from the mud
00:32:33for the rest of your life.
00:32:35While Vanessa subjected me
00:32:36to endless mockery,
00:32:37the parade reached
00:32:38its absolute climax.
00:32:41Clad in a magnificent
00:32:42silver-white robe,
00:32:43a commanding
00:32:44and majestic Ronin
00:32:45ascended the central
00:32:46divine altar
00:32:47under the gaze
00:32:48of the masses.
00:32:49Raising his hands,
00:32:50he used amplification magic
00:32:52to declare to the entire field
00:32:54his voice echoing
00:32:55through the heavens,
00:32:56arrogant and ecstatic.
00:32:58Today is not only
00:32:59the celebratory feast,
00:33:01establishing my son
00:33:02Jasper's status as heir,
00:33:04but the starting point
00:33:05for our Wind Kingdom
00:33:06to march towards
00:33:07the peak of all kingdoms.
00:33:08I officially announce here
00:33:10that we are exerting
00:33:11every effort to secure
00:33:12multiple major cooperations
00:33:14with the mysterious
00:33:15and supreme
00:33:16High Elven King
00:33:17of the Sanctuary.
00:33:18I couldn't help but laugh.
00:33:20The supreme High Elven King
00:33:21they were so desperately
00:33:22trying to fawn over?
00:33:23That's my father.
00:33:24It's time for me
00:33:25to turn the tables.
00:33:27The moment these words
00:33:29were spoken,
00:33:30a massive uproar
00:33:32rippled through the crowd.
00:33:35The High Elven King
00:33:36was the supreme ruler
00:33:37of the entire Elven world.
00:33:41A godlike existence.
00:33:44If they could obtain
00:33:45even a shred
00:33:46of that lord's favor,
00:33:47the Wind Kingdom
00:33:48could instantly ascend
00:33:49into the ranks
00:33:50of the super kingdoms.
00:33:52Ronan's face was flushed
00:33:54with absolute pride,
00:33:55his features bearing
00:33:56an unmaskable arrogance
00:33:59as he turned
00:34:00an affectionate gaze
00:34:01to Vanessa and Jasper.
00:34:05Once this cooperation
00:34:06is finalized,
00:34:07Jasper will not only be
00:34:08the king of the Wind Kingdom,
00:34:12but the most noble
00:34:13young commander
00:34:14of the future sanctuary.
00:34:16I shall use the eternal
00:34:18prosperity of the supreme sanctuary
00:34:20to make up
00:34:21for the egregious
00:34:22Vanessa
00:34:23and her son
00:34:24suffered
00:34:25over the past
00:34:26three years!
00:34:28Vanessa cast
00:34:29a provocative glance at me,
00:34:31her eyes brimming
00:34:32with ostentatience
00:34:33and disdain.
00:34:34Ronan's gaze toward me
00:34:36was also filled
00:34:36with ultimate coldness,
00:34:38as if mocking
00:34:39my instant
00:34:40magnificence
00:34:40and incompetence.
00:34:42However,
00:34:42watching Ronan's
00:34:43self-righteous declaration,
00:34:44I felt not a single
00:34:46shred of anger.
00:34:47Instead,
00:34:48I lowered my head
00:34:49and gently kissed
00:34:50the suppressed divine mark
00:34:51on my daughter's forehead.
00:34:53The sole direct bloodline
00:34:55of the High Elven King
00:34:57is,
00:34:58at this very moment,
00:35:00lying within
00:35:01the swaddling clothes
00:35:02you have dismissed
00:35:04as worthless garbage.
00:35:08Ronan,
00:35:09Vanessa,
00:35:10the supreme divinity
00:35:11you are scheming to please,
00:35:13by any means necessary,
00:35:16is the very person
00:35:17you have personally pushed
00:35:18into the abyss
00:35:19and trampled upon
00:35:21in every way.
00:35:22Me,
00:35:23the corners of my lips
00:35:24furbed into an icy arc,
00:35:26and the suppressed rage
00:35:27and hatred in my heart
00:35:28transformed into
00:35:29the most ruthless anticipation
00:35:31at this moment.
00:35:33Wind Kingdom,
00:35:35the final revelry
00:35:36of your lives
00:35:37ends
00:35:39here.
00:35:42After a few days
00:35:43of revelry,
00:35:44the disguise
00:35:45of the illusion potion
00:35:47finally collapsed,
00:35:49like a castle of sand.
00:35:51Lying on the stone bed
00:35:52of the withered tower,
00:35:53the toxins within
00:35:54my daughter's body
00:35:55broke past all restraint,
00:35:57erupting violently.
00:35:57She fell
00:35:58into a prolonged coma,
00:36:01her tiny body
00:36:01burning with
00:36:02a terrifying fever,
00:36:03her lips cracked and pale,
00:36:05her breathing reduced
00:36:06to a flickering candle
00:36:07in the wind,
00:36:10liable to extinguish
00:36:12at any moment.
00:36:14I knelt by the bedside,
00:36:15my magic entirely dried up,
00:36:18leaving me helpless
00:36:19as I pressed my cheek
00:36:21against her icy little hand.
00:36:23My tears long since dried,
00:36:26just as I was on the verge
00:36:28of despairing unto death,
00:36:29the wooden door
00:36:30of the high tower
00:36:31was suddenly pushed open
00:36:33in a frenzy.
00:36:34The Wind Kingdom doctor
00:36:35burst in,
00:36:36dripping with sweat,
00:36:38his eyes a tangled mess
00:36:39of guilt and terror.
00:36:41With trembling hands,
00:36:42he presented a crystal bottle,
00:36:45radiating a warm,
00:36:46sacred golden light
00:36:47like the midday sun.
00:36:49This medicine
00:36:50can neutralize all poisons,
00:36:51save those on the brink of death,
00:36:53and immensely nourish
00:36:54the bloodline of an elven babe.
00:36:56Please,
00:36:57feed it to the little princess quickly.
00:36:59This is her sole path
00:37:00to survival.
00:37:01Staring at that ball
00:37:02of sacred golden light,
00:37:03my deadened heart
00:37:04began to beat frantically.
00:37:05I snatched the spiritual medicine,
00:37:07clutching it tightly
00:37:08to my chest,
00:37:08my heart overflowing with joy
00:37:10as I believed my daughter
00:37:11was finally saved.
00:37:13Trembling,
00:37:13I pulled the cork,
00:37:15preparing to feed
00:37:16this life-saving drop
00:37:18into my daughter's mouth.
00:37:19When the tower door
00:37:20was violently blown open
00:37:22with a resounding clash,
00:37:24a wild wind rushed in
00:37:25as Alina,
00:37:27flanked by her attendants,
00:37:29strode in with a majestic
00:37:30yet greedy expression.
00:37:32Before I could even react,
00:37:33she ruthlessly
00:37:34snatched the crystal bottle
00:37:36right out of my hands!
00:37:40Ilyan gripped the flask
00:37:41of sacred tree extract tightly.
00:37:43Feeling the boundless
00:37:44sacred energy swirling within,
00:37:46a fanatical greed
00:37:47erupted in her eyes.
00:37:49Give it back to me!
00:37:50That is Iris'
00:37:52life-saving medicine!
00:37:53I lunged forward
00:37:54like a madman
00:37:54to reclaim the medicine.
00:37:56Give it back!
00:37:58Only to be ruthlessly
00:37:59pinned to the ground
00:38:00by two high-tier guards
00:38:02using their magical staffs.
00:38:03My knees slammed
00:38:04against the hard stone tiles,
00:38:06emitting a sickening crack.
00:38:09Following closely behind,
00:38:11Ronan looked down at me
00:38:12with cold detachment,
00:38:14devoid of any pity.
00:38:16Alayda trembled with excitement,
00:38:18refusing to grant
00:38:19even a single glance
00:38:20to the dying daughter
00:38:21on the sickbed,
00:38:22her mind and heart
00:38:23entirely occupied
00:38:24by her precious
00:38:25eldest grandson.
00:38:26Roran!
00:38:27Look at this!
00:38:27This is the legendary
00:38:28sacred tree extract!
00:38:30Though three-year-old Jasper
00:38:31is extraordinarily gifted,
00:38:33his skeletal frame
00:38:34hasn't fully matured yet.
00:38:35If we let him drink
00:38:36this divine item,
00:38:38his wind magic
00:38:38will undergo
00:38:39a complete metamorphosis,
00:38:41allowing him to grow taller
00:38:42and more powerful
00:38:43than any peer,
00:38:44entirely solidifying
00:38:46his position
00:38:46as the first heir
00:38:47under the kingdom spotlight.
00:38:49Mother is correct.
00:38:52Leaving such a bloodline
00:38:53treasure in the
00:38:54Withered Tower
00:38:54would be an utter waste
00:38:56of a divine gift.
00:38:57Only Jasper
00:38:59is worthy of enjoying it.
00:39:01Vanessa walked in
00:39:01at that moment
00:39:02carrying three-year-old Jasper.
00:39:03looking at me
00:39:04pinned to the ground
00:39:05by the guards,
00:39:06coughing up blood
00:39:07in a disheveled state.
00:39:08The triumph and amusement
00:39:09in her eyes
00:39:10threatened to spill over.
00:39:11The three of them
00:39:11huddled together,
00:39:12admiring the item
00:39:13as if inspecting
00:39:14a supreme treasure
00:39:15filled with praises,
00:39:16while I could only
00:39:17watch helplessly
00:39:18as the saving straw
00:39:19belonged to my daughter
00:39:20was stripped away
00:39:22completely.
00:39:23Amid my agonized weeping,
00:39:25that priceless flask
00:39:27of sacred tree extract
00:39:29was gently yet
00:39:30forcefully poured
00:39:31into the mouth
00:39:32of the perfectly
00:39:33livable Jasper
00:39:34by Eladid.
00:39:35The moment the divine item
00:39:36entered his mouth,
00:39:37a blinding golden current
00:39:39erupted across Jasper's body.
00:39:41Not only did his wind
00:39:42attribute magic
00:39:43surge instantly,
00:39:44but his height
00:39:45even seemed to increase
00:39:47slightly.
00:39:48The three-year-old toddler
00:39:49excitedly brashed
00:39:50at his magic in the hall,
00:39:51while Ronan and Vanessa
00:39:53surrounded him,
00:39:54letting out waves
00:39:55of absolute delight.
00:39:57The happier their laughter,
00:39:59the more shattered
00:40:00my heart became.
00:40:01Ronan looked down upon me
00:40:02as I lay limp
00:40:03on the ground,
00:40:03his cold words
00:40:04cutting like blades.
00:40:06Seraphina,
00:40:07cease your weeping here.
00:40:09Jasper is the future
00:40:11hope of the kingdom.
00:40:12Giving this medicine
00:40:13to him ensures
00:40:14it is put to its proper use.
00:40:16As for Iris,
00:40:18it has been said
00:40:19she merely has
00:40:20a common chill.
00:40:22It is not worth
00:40:23delaying proper business
00:40:24over her
00:40:25and she certainly
00:40:26does not deserve
00:40:27a divine object
00:40:28like the sacred tree extract.
00:40:30Flicking his sleeves,
00:40:31Ronan turned
00:40:32and left heartlessly,
00:40:33taking the room's
00:40:34laughter with him.
00:40:35When they departed entirely,
00:40:37the tower plunged back
00:40:39into a deathly silence.
00:40:40I crawled to the bedside,
00:40:42looking at my empty hands
00:40:44and then at my daughter,
00:40:46whose core was withering
00:40:47as she spit out
00:40:48another mouthful
00:40:49of black blood
00:40:50from the poison
00:40:51gripping her heart.
00:40:52My daughter opened
00:40:52her eyes weakly,
00:40:54rubbing against my palm
00:40:55with a touch of attachment
00:40:55before sinking entirely
00:40:57into a deathly coldness.
00:40:59Slowly raising
00:41:00my right hand,
00:41:01I spared no cost
00:41:03to force out
00:41:03the final drop
00:41:04of supreme golden blood
00:41:06from my heart,
00:41:07drawing a sacred
00:41:08golden-winged armor
00:41:09in the void.
00:41:10Through the array,
00:41:12a connection
00:41:13was instantly forged
00:41:14to the deepest depths
00:41:15of the sanctuary,
00:41:17unleashing a supreme pressure
00:41:18that made all kingdoms tremble.
00:41:20My daughter,
00:41:21you are finally willing
00:41:22to contact your father.
00:41:24You have suffered
00:41:24these past three years.
00:41:26Cradling the icy form
00:41:27tightly in my arms,
00:41:28tears of blood
00:41:28tracing down my face.
00:41:29My voice was completely calm,
00:41:31devoid of a single ripple
00:41:32has been from emotion.
00:41:33My daughter is dying.
00:41:34Please open the gates
00:41:34of the sanctuary
00:41:35and take us mother and daughter
00:41:36home.
00:41:37The supreme array
00:41:39faded into the air
00:41:40and forcing my dying,
00:41:42battered body forward,
00:41:43I carried my daughter
00:41:44out of the withered tower.
00:41:46My daughter's fragile form
00:41:48barely clung to life.
00:41:49Without disturbing anyone,
00:41:51I walked step by step
00:41:53to the center of the territory,
00:41:55stopping before the tree of life.
00:41:57Then I was roe be roe of
00:41:58to stand into the
00:41:59You were my in number stool.
00:42:02Swearing by the supreme bloodline,
00:42:04I sever the covenant
00:42:05and erase my holy name
00:42:07here today.
00:42:12Inside the main manor,
00:42:14Ronan felt a sudden
00:42:16violent spasm of pain
00:42:18strike his chest.
00:42:21Ronan,
00:42:21three years of marital devotion
00:42:23has been personally severed
00:42:24by your hand today.
00:42:26The trampling you granted me
00:42:27I have accepted.
00:42:28From this day forward,
00:42:29we shall not meet again
00:42:29in life nor death.
00:42:31Seraphina,
00:42:32what madness are you throwing now
00:42:33over such a trivial matter
00:42:35and you would go so far
00:42:35as to harm your own body
00:42:36to forge a fortune backlash.
00:42:38I have no time to play
00:42:39these cat and mouse games
00:42:40with you.
00:42:41If you have the ability
00:42:42to leave,
00:42:42then ensure you never return.
00:42:46Death has simply been spoiled by you.
00:42:48In a couple of days,
00:42:49once she has suffered
00:42:50enough outside,
00:42:51she will naturally come back
00:42:53begging on her knees.
00:42:54Let us ignore her.
00:42:57That night,
00:42:58the entire main manor
00:43:00of the Wind Kingdom
00:43:02was brightly lit
00:43:04and adorned
00:43:05with festive decorations.
00:43:07To celebrate
00:43:07three-year-old Jasper
00:43:09consuming the sacred tree extract
00:43:11and experiencing
00:43:12a surge in magic,
00:43:14Aline ordered
00:43:15an all-night festival
00:43:16of music and dance.
00:43:18Inside the magnificent
00:43:20main hall,
00:43:21the aroma of fine wine
00:43:22filled the air
00:43:23as countless high-tier elves
00:43:24raised their glasses
00:43:25in unison,
00:43:26surrounding Vanessa
00:43:27and her son at the center
00:43:28with absolute flattery
00:43:29and obdaciousness.
00:43:31Ronan sat upon his throne,
00:43:33looking at his triumphant
00:43:35eldest son,
00:43:36his eyes filled
00:43:37with pride
00:43:38and certainty
00:43:39that the kingdom
00:43:40was about to ascend
00:43:41to the peak
00:43:42of all kingdoms.
00:43:44The hypocritical
00:43:45and fanatical cheers
00:43:46echoed through
00:43:47the night sky,
00:43:48transforming the entire temple
00:43:50into a city
00:43:51that never slept.
00:43:53Yet no one noticed
00:43:54that on the desolate path
00:43:56at the outmost edge
00:43:57of the main city,
00:43:58leading towards
00:43:58the forbidden forest,
00:44:00a slender
00:44:00and resolute figure
00:44:01was carrying
00:44:02a swaddling cloth,
00:44:03stepping into
00:44:04the boundless curtain
00:44:05of night.
00:44:05The freezing rain
00:44:06slammed down merseusely.
00:44:07Serafina's face
00:44:08was deathly still,
00:44:09but her hands
00:44:10held the daughter
00:44:10in her arms
00:44:11with absolute tightness.
00:44:12Iris's breathing
00:44:13within the cloth
00:44:14was faint,
00:44:15her tiny body
00:44:15gradually turning
00:44:16stirby and cold.
00:44:17Serafina did not
00:44:18cast a single glance back
00:44:19at the false prosperity
00:44:20of the Wind Kingdom
00:44:21behind her.
00:44:22Her eyes held
00:44:23no more tears,
00:44:24only an indifference
00:44:25that chilled to the bone.
00:44:26The singing and dancing
00:44:28inside the main hall
00:44:28continued,
00:44:29and Ronan was smiling
00:44:30as he accepted
00:44:31the fine wine
00:44:31handed to him
00:44:32by Vanessa.
00:44:33At that exact instant,
00:44:34deep within the dark forest
00:44:35far away,
00:44:36the violent cold wind
00:44:37came to an abrupt halt
00:44:38without warning.
00:44:38A sliver of incredibly noble,
00:44:40sacred and tore through
00:44:41the darkness
00:44:41of the polar night.
00:44:42The frame foes
00:44:43at the edge
00:44:43of the dark,
00:44:44silent forest.
00:44:45The sounds
00:44:45of the Wind Kingdom's
00:44:46celebratory songs
00:44:47and laugh
00:44:47still echoed faintly,
00:44:48but the moment
00:44:49the mother and girl's
00:44:50slender yet matchlessly
00:44:51noble fears
00:44:52that sliver of golden light,
00:44:53they instantly transformed
00:44:54into a remnant gleam,
00:44:56vanishing,
00:44:56completely,
00:44:57into the endless night.
00:44:59The sacred light
00:45:00erupted outward
00:45:01at the center
00:45:02of the royal hall
00:45:03in the supreme sanctuary,
00:45:04holding my daughter,
00:45:05who had practically
00:45:06stopped breathing.
00:45:07I finally collapsed
00:45:09onto my knees
00:45:09against the flawless
00:45:10white jade floor tiles,
00:45:12my strength entirely spent.
00:45:13My long hair
00:45:14was soaked through
00:45:15by the terricious rain
00:45:16sticking messily
00:45:16to my deathly pale cheeks.
00:45:17The weakness
00:45:18of post-parting recovery,
00:45:19comboled with the trauma
00:45:20of forcibly reversing
00:45:21my source power,
00:45:22caused me to leave
00:45:22a striking trail of blood
00:45:24with every step.
00:45:24Sitting high upon his throne,
00:45:26my father rose abruptly.
00:45:27When he clearly saw
00:45:28my broken state
00:45:29at the bottom of the steps,
00:45:30his majestic noble face,
00:45:31which had 10,000 years
00:45:32of history,
00:45:33trembled violently
00:45:34with immense shock
00:45:35and heartache.
00:45:36Moving like a blur,
00:45:37he materialized by my side
00:45:39in an instant,
00:45:40his hands shaking
00:45:41as he tried to lift me up.
00:45:43My daughter!
00:45:44How did you become
00:45:45like this?
00:45:48Your supreme magic,
00:45:49which even 10,000 kingdoms
00:45:51look up to,
00:45:52why has it withered
00:45:53to such an extent?
00:45:56I slowly raised my head,
00:45:58the tears of blood
00:45:58at the corners of my eye
00:45:59long since dried.
00:46:00I did not cry out.
00:46:01I merely used
00:46:02the final shred of strength
00:46:03in my body
00:46:04to tremblingly present
00:46:04the swaddling cloth
00:46:05to my father.
00:46:06Father, save her.
00:46:08She is Ronin's
00:46:09biological flesh and blood,
00:46:11yet they dismissed her
00:46:12as a lowly wretch
00:46:12to steal her
00:46:13life-saving medicine.
00:46:14They fed my iris
00:46:15forbidden illusion potions
00:46:17to forcibly mask the truth.
00:46:18She has been poisoned
00:46:19with soul-eating grass,
00:46:20and her magic core
00:46:22is on the verge
00:46:22of shattering.
00:46:23My father took
00:46:24the tiny swatting cloth
00:46:25with trembling hands.
00:46:26When his divine sense
00:46:27swept across his
00:46:28granddaughter's
00:46:29battered natural core,
00:46:30which was being
00:46:31ravenously consumed
00:46:32by the poison,
00:46:33this supreme gaiety
00:46:34who ruled over
00:46:35the entire sanctuary
00:46:36felt his eyes
00:46:37turn instantly bloodluck,
00:46:38immediately following
00:46:39a terrifying world-destroying
00:46:42pressure erupted
00:46:43violently from his body.
00:46:47In an instant,
00:46:49the skies above
00:46:50the entire supreme sanctuary
00:46:51shifted dramatically
00:46:52as the once bright heavens
00:46:53were enveloped
00:46:53by rolling black clouds
00:46:54and violent thunderbolts.
00:46:56The ancient vines
00:46:56surrounding the royal hall,
00:46:57which had flourished
00:46:58for tens of thousands
00:46:59of years,
00:47:00seemed to feel
00:47:00the king's ultimate fury,
00:47:02trembling wildly
00:47:03and thrashing against the ground
00:47:04as the entire sacred mountain
00:47:06shook violently
00:47:07under the divine rage.
00:47:08My father raised
00:47:09his right hand high,
00:47:10the destructive divine lightning
00:47:11flashing frankly
00:47:12at his fingertips.
00:47:13He stared dead
00:47:14at his dying granddaughter
00:47:15within the cloth,
00:47:16his gnashing words
00:47:17wrapped in supreme divine authority
00:47:18as they echoed
00:47:19through heaven and earth.
00:47:21The wind kingdom?
00:47:22Ronan!
00:47:23You ants dare to torture
00:47:24my only daughter
00:47:25in such a manner
00:47:26and strike ruthlessly
00:47:27against my newborn granddaughter.
00:47:29Pass down my
00:47:30dissension pathways
00:47:31the wind kingdom!
00:47:32Whosoever dares harm
00:47:33my grawreys,
00:47:33I shall demand
00:47:34their entire kingdom
00:47:35accompany her in death!
00:47:37To rescue Iris
00:47:38from the brink of death,
00:47:40my father did not hesitate
00:47:41for a moment,
00:47:42immediately ordering
00:47:43the opening
00:47:44of the life core
00:47:44of the ancient sacred tree
00:47:46that had lived
00:47:47for 100,000 years
00:47:48within the forbidden grounds.
00:47:50This was the energy source
00:47:51of the entire elfin world,
00:47:53a place where even
00:47:54the high priests
00:47:55of the sanctuary
00:47:56had no right
00:47:57to approach normally.
00:47:59Yet it was fully open today
00:48:00for my daughter.
00:48:02Every top holy tier healer
00:48:04within the sanctuary
00:48:05was assembled overnight.
00:48:11The golden life core
00:48:13floated gently
00:48:13above the sickbed,
00:48:14radiating a soft,
00:48:15vast, and ocean-like
00:48:16purity of magic.
00:48:17A canopy of brilliant
00:48:18golden light
00:48:19wrapped around Iris'
00:48:20tiny body layer by layer
00:48:21like a coon
00:48:22nourished by this
00:48:23immense life force.
00:48:24The faint golden divine mark
00:48:26on Iris' forehead,
00:48:27which had been nearly
00:48:28cracked and extinguished,
00:48:30finally flickered
00:48:31with a weak resonance
00:48:32under the caress
00:48:33of the divine light.
00:48:34I kept watch
00:48:35by the bedside,
00:48:36my face pale,
00:48:37never leaving her side
00:48:39for a single pace.
00:48:40I watched with my own eyes
00:48:42as those holy gris healers
00:48:43transformed secret medicines
00:48:44into golden needles,
00:48:46extracting the stubborn
00:48:46soul-eating grease poison
00:48:48from my daughter's body,
00:48:49inch by inch.
00:48:50Every time that the poison
00:48:52was forced out,
00:48:53my daughter would let
00:48:54our faint kitten-like
00:48:55whipper of pain,
00:48:56and those drops
00:48:57of black toxic blood
00:48:58would instantly corrode
00:48:59scorched hole
00:49:00into the pure white sheets
00:49:01upon hitting them.
00:49:02My daughter,
00:49:04watching her suffer,
00:49:05tore at my heart
00:49:06as if it were being cut
00:49:07by ten thousand blades.
00:49:09Ronan,
00:49:09Vanessa,
00:49:10the pain you inflicted
00:49:11upon my child,
00:49:12I will ensure you
00:49:13repay it a thousand times.
00:49:14It was a grueling
00:49:15two days and nights
00:49:17of hovering between
00:49:18life and death.
00:49:21As the first ray
00:49:22of the sanctuary's
00:49:23warm morning sun
00:49:24pierced through the window frame
00:49:25on the third day,
00:49:27Iris suddenly let out
00:49:28a resounding cry
00:49:29from the bed.
00:49:30That cry was no longer
00:49:32weak and filled
00:49:32with despair like before,
00:49:34but brimming
00:49:35with the strength
00:49:35of a new life.
00:49:36The golden divine mark
00:49:37on her forehead
00:49:38restored completely,
00:49:39and her once pale
00:49:41little face began
00:49:41to flush with color,
00:49:43her skin radiating
00:49:44a healthy glow.
00:49:45Congratulations, king!
00:49:47Congratulations, holy princess!
00:49:48The virilest poison
00:49:49within the little princess's
00:49:50body has completely dissolved.
00:49:51Not only is her life
00:49:52secured,
00:49:53but her bloodline
00:49:53has completely awa-
00:49:54Looking at my daughter's face
00:49:55as she clenched
00:49:56her tiny fists
00:49:56in blue bubbles,
00:49:57the tears I had suppressed
00:49:59for three long years
00:50:00finally broke
00:50:01through the floodgates.
00:50:03The morning sun
00:50:04spilled across
00:50:05the luxurious couch
00:50:06where Vanessa was gently
00:50:07helping Ronan
00:50:07into his robes.
00:50:08However, Ronan's brow
00:50:09was furrowed tightly,
00:50:10his handsome face
00:50:11clouded with undeniable
00:50:12irritation and gloom.
00:50:14Right then,
00:50:14a panicked starten bell
00:50:15rang out from outside
00:50:16the main temple.
00:50:17Several elders
00:50:17scrambled into the hall,
00:50:18their faces as white as sheets.
00:50:20Lord!
00:50:20Disaster has struck!
00:50:21The soldiers guarding
00:50:22the ascension platform
00:50:23just reported
00:50:24that our kingdom's passage
00:50:25to the sanctuary
00:50:26has been violently locked
00:50:27from above
00:50:28by an unspeakable
00:50:29supreme divine authority.
00:50:31The gates of the divine realm
00:50:33are closed to us.
00:50:36What did you say?
00:50:38The passage is locked.
00:50:41Who could possibly
00:50:43have such power?
00:50:44In that instant,
00:50:45the image of Seraphina's
00:50:47cold, ruthless phantom
00:50:48before her departure
00:50:49flashed through his mind
00:50:50and his heart sank.
00:50:52Could it be...
00:50:53Seraphina?
00:50:54But the moment
00:50:55the thought arose,
00:50:56it was instantly crushed
00:50:57by the deep-rooted arrogance
00:50:58in his heart.
00:50:59He let out a cold,
00:51:01self-decricketing laugh.
00:51:02Seraphina was nothing more
00:51:03than a lowly woman
00:51:04with no background,
00:51:05inferior even to
00:51:06a low-tier elf
00:51:07of the Windsuary
00:51:08that happened to
00:51:08affect their kingdom.
00:51:11Seeing his distress,
00:51:13Vanessa quickly moved closer,
00:51:15wrapping her arms
00:51:16around his
00:51:17to comfort him,
00:51:18teasingly.
00:51:19Exactly, Lord.
00:51:21Sister ran away
00:51:22in a tantrum
00:51:23and is probably
00:51:23hiding in some inn
00:51:25using that sickly brat
00:51:26to threaten you
00:51:27until you soften.
00:51:28How could she possibly
00:51:29have the power
00:51:30to lock the ascension platform?
00:51:33Ronan pressed
00:51:34his throbbing temples.
00:51:36A strange sensation
00:51:37of losing his kingdom's fortune
00:51:39made him increasingly restless.
00:51:41Pushing Vanessa away,
00:51:42he strode toward
00:51:43the Covenant Temple
00:51:44with a dark expression.
00:51:47However,
00:51:47the moment Ronan
00:51:49stepped into
00:51:49the Covenant Temple,
00:51:50the priest on duty
00:51:51collapsed to the floor
00:51:52in sheer terror,
00:51:53his face deathly pale.
00:51:54What are you panicking for?
00:51:56Bring out the Covenant
00:51:56Jade plaques
00:51:57for Seraphina and the infant.
00:51:58I want to see
00:51:59where they are hiding
00:52:00and laughing at me!
00:52:01My lord,
00:52:02spare my life!
00:52:03They cannot be brought out!
00:52:06Just three days ago,
00:52:07the primary
00:52:07Mistress Covenant mark
00:52:09under the Tree of Life
00:52:10was forcibly erased!
00:52:12What did you say?
00:52:14Forcibly erased?
00:52:15Not only is it gone,
00:52:17but the mother and daughter
00:52:18used an ancient secret ritual
00:52:20to completely delete
00:52:21all their holy names
00:52:22from the elfin race.
00:52:23Half of the Tree of Life
00:52:24has withered.
00:52:25I used every tracking method
00:52:26available,
00:52:27but they are all
00:52:28untraceable.
00:52:29They have completely
00:52:30severed their bloodline
00:52:31and connection
00:52:32with the Wind Kingdom.
00:52:33Well played,
00:52:34Seraphina!
00:52:35To resort to such
00:52:36a self-harming,
00:52:37despicable trick
00:52:38as deleting your holy name!
00:52:40Do you think
00:52:41you can escape
00:52:41just by doing that?
00:52:43I want to see
00:52:43how many days
00:52:44you can last out there
00:52:46with your dying daughter
00:52:47without the protection
00:52:48of the Wind Kingdom!
00:52:50Watching her daughter
00:52:52sleep peacefully
00:52:52in the divine light
00:52:53of the sacred tree,
00:52:55Seraphina slowly stood up.
00:52:57The mole that tended
00:52:58she turned to
00:52:59vanished from her eyes,
00:53:00replaced by a bottomless
00:53:01coldness and resolve.
00:53:03Father,
00:53:03I was too foolish
00:53:04in the past
00:53:05to repay a trivial
00:53:06mortal deed.
00:53:07I degraded myself
00:53:08to cater to a blind,
00:53:10cold-blooded mortal.
00:53:11In return,
00:53:12they trampled all over me
00:53:13and nearly caused
00:53:14my daughter's death!
00:53:15She raised her hand,
00:53:16slicing through the air
00:53:17like a blade.
00:53:18As an invisible
00:53:19emotional barrier shattered,
00:53:21the painful memories
00:53:22of her humiliation,
00:53:24Ronin's neglect,
00:53:25and Vanessa's framing
00:53:26in the Wind Kingdom
00:53:27were sealed
00:53:28deep within her heart.
00:53:29From this day forward,
00:53:30the lowly,
00:53:31submissive consort
00:53:32of the Wind Kingdom
00:53:33no longer exists.
00:53:34To ensure we are
00:53:35never trampled on again
00:53:36and to control
00:53:37my daughter's destiny.
00:53:38I willingly accept
00:53:39the royal bloodline baptism.
00:53:41Looking at his daughter,
00:53:42whose gaze had become
00:53:43as sharp as a hawk,
00:53:44the high-elval king
00:53:45felt a surge of relief
00:53:46and pride.
00:53:46He immediately gave
00:53:47his stern approval.
00:53:48Half an hour later,
00:53:49the gates to the sanctuary's
00:53:50core forbidden ground
00:53:51swung open.
00:53:52This was the sacred
00:53:52training pool exclusive
00:53:53to the heirs of
00:53:54the supreme royal family.
00:53:55Filled with primeval
00:53:56priadan magic
00:53:57accumulated over 10,000 years,
00:53:58and to an ordinary
00:53:59high elf would explode
00:54:00and die from touching
00:54:01even a single drop,
00:54:02and to enduring
00:54:03the agonizing pain
00:54:04of a complete
00:54:04bone-shatterned
00:54:05without any hesitation,
00:54:07under the avarstek gaze
00:54:08of 10,000 pure-blooded
00:54:10elven guards,
00:54:11Seraphina stepped relutely
00:54:12into the terrifying
00:54:13surging sacred pool
00:54:14clad in a simple
00:54:15white robe.
00:54:16Boom!
00:54:16The moment her body
00:54:17was completely submerged,
00:54:18the ancient magic erupted,
00:54:20unleashing towering
00:54:21golden waves.
00:54:22The violent
00:54:22propezzanard energy
00:54:23slashed through her
00:54:23merpicrians and bones
00:54:24like countless blades.
00:54:25Yet, she did not
00:54:26even flinch.
00:54:27The nine sore seals
00:54:28she had petitioned herself
00:54:28to repay her debt to Ronian
00:54:30began to shatter and unravel,
00:54:31completely awakening her
00:54:32de-dormant power
00:54:33under the furious onsla-
00:54:35Smash!
00:54:36Ronan shattered his
00:54:37communication array
00:54:38for the 12th time.
00:54:39Every time he tried
00:54:40to connect with Seraphina
00:54:41through a soul transmission,
00:54:43he was met with nothing
00:54:44but a cold, empty echo
00:54:45and the piercing pain
00:54:47of magical backlash.
00:54:48His frustration
00:54:49reached its peep
00:54:50as a suffocating panic
00:54:51of losing control
00:54:52gripped his throat.
00:54:53Just then,
00:54:54the hall doors
00:54:55pushed open
00:54:56and Vanessa walked in
00:54:57smiling,
00:54:58holding three-year-old
00:54:59Jaspid by the hand.
00:55:00Roman, look!
00:55:02After taking the
00:55:03sacred tree extract today,
00:55:05Jasper can already
00:55:05control two
00:55:06high-tier wind blades!
00:55:09He truly is
00:55:10your eldest son.
00:55:12Ronan turned his
00:55:13irritated gaze
00:55:14onto Jasper
00:55:15who was shouting
00:55:15and playing with a toy.
00:55:17But as he looked,
00:55:18his breath caught.
00:55:19Whether it was due
00:55:20to the sudden loss
00:55:20of his kingdom's fortune,
00:55:22looking at Jasper's
00:55:23arrogant and brash face
00:55:24felt unprecedentedly discordal.
00:55:26The child's features
00:55:27lacked even a trace
00:55:28of the Wind Kingdom
00:55:29royal family's elegance,
00:55:30showing instead
00:55:31a crude vulgarity.
00:55:32What terrified him most
00:55:34was that the wind-attributed
00:55:35magic to radiating
00:55:36from Jasper
00:55:36was crose and wild,
00:55:38sharing absolutely
00:55:39no bloodline resonance,
00:55:40with the pure
00:55:41biting royal bloodline
00:55:42in his own body.
00:55:43When Vanessa gave birth
00:55:45to the child outside
00:55:46years ago,
00:55:47crying that she had
00:55:48been hunted by enemies
00:55:49and forced to wander,
00:55:51Ronan pitied her
00:55:52and never questioned
00:55:53the bloodline.
00:55:54But now,
00:55:58Ronan,
00:55:59why are you looking
00:56:00at Jasper like that?
00:56:02Did he do something wrong?
00:56:04Rokhan stared dead
00:56:05at the flash of panic
00:56:06in Vanessa's eyes.
00:56:07His hands clenched
00:56:08tightly beneath his robes
00:56:09as something shattered
00:56:10within his heart.
00:56:11Taking a deep breath
00:56:12to suppress his immense
00:56:13suspicion,
00:56:13he put on a cold disguise.
00:56:15It is nothing.
00:56:16I am simply tired.
00:56:18You may leave.
00:56:19The moment the doors closed,
00:56:21Ronan's eyes turned
00:56:22incredibly sinister.
00:56:23He looked toward the empty air
00:56:24and gave a ruthless command.
00:56:26Someone,
00:56:26bring out the royal family's
00:56:28most secretive bloodline
00:56:29apriation arabis.
00:56:30Remember,
00:56:31prepare it in secret.
00:56:33Find an opportunity
00:56:33to gather Jasper's hair
00:56:35and finger blood later.
00:56:37Vanessa must not know
00:56:38a single thing about this.
00:56:39If I find
00:56:40that his bloodline
00:56:41does not match,
00:56:42I will ensure them
00:56:43die without a burial place!
00:56:47Meanwhile in the sanctuary,
00:56:48around the forbidden
00:56:49sacred pool grounds,
00:56:5010,000 pureblood
00:56:51high elven generals,
00:56:52high priests
00:56:53and gradually cards
00:56:54of the divine king
00:56:54knelt across the mountains.
00:56:56Everyone held their breath,
00:56:57looking up at the gradually
00:56:58calming sacred pool in awe.
00:56:59Suddenly,
00:57:00faint golden ripple
00:57:00carrying supreme authority
00:57:02spread from the center
00:57:03of the pool.
00:57:03A graceful noble figure
00:57:05slowly rose from the center
00:57:06of the water.
00:57:07Seraphina's postpartum weakness
00:57:08and plast were entirely gone.
00:57:10Her skin shone like
00:57:11flawless white jade,
00:57:12flowing with a sacred light,
00:57:13and her once withered long hair
00:57:15had turned into a dazzling
00:57:16golden color,
00:57:17skating down to her ankles.
00:57:18Under the baptism
00:57:19of the ancient presided energy,
00:57:21her appearance and magic
00:57:22were completely restored,
00:57:23far surpassing her past peak.
00:57:25The moment her feet
00:57:26left the water
00:57:27and she hovered in midair,
00:57:28the space behind her
00:57:29tore violently.
00:57:30Boom!
00:57:31Accompanied by a divine phoenix cry
00:57:33that echoed through the heavens,
00:57:34a pair of dazzling
00:57:35supreme natural wings
00:57:36radiating boundless life
00:57:37and destruction
00:57:38unfurled behind her back.
00:57:39The divine wings were massive,
00:57:41each feather condundated
00:57:41from the purest golden light
00:57:43of natural law.
00:57:44With a slight flutter,
00:57:45a terrifying pressure
00:57:46swept past like a tsunami.
00:57:47Unable to withstand
00:57:48the bloodline pressure
00:57:49from the depths of their souls,
00:57:51the ten thousand
00:57:52pure-blooded elves
00:57:53slammed their foreheads
00:57:54against the ground
00:57:55as the sacred roof
00:57:56and echoed in harmony.
00:57:58We welcome
00:57:58Her Majesty's
00:57:59ascension to the throne!
00:58:02May your life
00:58:03she's divine power
00:58:04go forever
00:58:05and may your life
00:58:06last to heaven!
00:58:07Standing amid the golden light,
00:58:09Seraphana looked down
00:58:10at her subjects.
00:58:11She raised her hand slightly,
00:58:12feeling the terrifying magic
00:58:13capable of destroying
00:58:14heaven and earth,
00:58:15a cruel, cold smile
00:58:16playing on her lips.
00:58:17The submissive,
00:58:18lowly consort
00:58:18who had once begged
00:58:19for a flask of pure spring water
00:58:20for her daughter
00:58:21in the Withern Tower,
00:58:22had completely died
00:58:22in this sacred pool today.
00:58:24The one who lived now
00:58:25was the Supreme Empress,
00:58:27who held the power
00:58:28over life and death
00:58:29for the entire
00:58:30elven sanctuary.
00:58:31She turned her gaze
00:58:32towards the direction
00:58:33of the Wind Kingdom,
00:58:34her murderous intent
00:58:36radiating palpably.
00:58:39Since Seraphina's departure,
00:58:41Vanessa carried herself
00:58:41completely as the new
00:58:43mistress of the Wind Kingdom.
00:58:44Without the restraint
00:58:45of the legitimate
00:58:46primary mistress,
00:58:47she tore off
00:58:47her past gentle disguise.
00:58:49The first thing she did
00:58:50upon moving is replace
00:58:51all the decorations
00:58:51with the most luxurious
00:58:53gold silks.
00:58:54She lived extravagantly
00:58:55and wastefully,
00:58:56bathing in the rarest
00:58:57floral dew daily,
00:58:58and even forcibly
00:58:59withalding nearly half
00:59:00of the lower-tier
00:59:01elf's winter ravens,
00:59:02just to fashion a sweeping
00:59:03dress embedded
00:59:04with deep-sea magic krills.
00:59:05Furthermore,
00:59:06Vanessa was arrogant
00:59:07and harsh to the point
00:59:07of cruelty toward the servants
00:59:09and lower-class elves
00:59:10of the kingdom.
00:59:11Mistress,
00:59:11this is the silver needle
00:59:12tea you requested.
00:59:13The temperature is just right.
00:59:15It's...
00:59:15I'm scolding,
00:59:16you useless wretch!
00:59:17Are you trying to ruin
00:59:18my face on purpose?
00:59:19Someone,
00:59:20strip her of her elfin badge
00:59:21and banish her entire family
00:59:23to hard labor
00:59:23at the Wither Tower!
00:59:25Panic gripped the main manor,
00:59:27and the lower-tier elves
00:59:28filled the air with grievances.
00:59:29Sitting in his study,
00:59:30Ronan listened to the
00:59:31constant shouting,
00:59:32face-slapping
00:59:32and crying from outside,
00:59:34his temples throbbing,
00:59:34looking at the ledger
00:59:35submitted by the Council of Elders,
00:59:37which detailed Vanessa's waste
00:59:39of tens of thousands
00:59:40of magic crystals
00:59:40over the past few days,
00:59:41his face turned grim.
00:59:43In the past,
00:59:43when Serafina managed
00:59:44the household,
00:59:45the entire Wind Kingdom
00:59:46was orderly.
00:59:47She was always gentle,
00:59:48understanding and proper,
00:59:49choosing to live frugally
00:59:50rather than misappropriate
00:59:51a single penny
00:59:52from the kingdom.
00:59:53Even using her own source,
00:59:54Morna,
00:59:54to nourish injured
00:59:55low-tier soldiers,
00:59:56Roman instinctively
00:59:57touched the empty space
00:59:58beside his throne,
00:59:59an unprecedented emptiness
01:00:00and regret
01:00:01washing over him
01:00:01like a tidal wave.
01:00:02He began to desperately
01:00:04miss the woman
01:00:05who had always quietly
01:00:05waited for him.
01:00:07But now,
01:00:08no matter how much
01:00:08he searched
01:00:09the Wind Kingdom's territory,
01:00:10he could no longer
01:00:11find a single trace
01:00:12of Serafina.
01:00:15Yet,
01:00:15Ronan had no idea
01:00:16that while he was drowning
01:00:17in endless regret
01:00:18and agony,
01:00:18a dim storle lamp
01:00:19was burning in the most
01:00:20secluded subterranean
01:00:21chamber of the main manor.
01:00:22Dressed in her luxurious gown,
01:00:23Vanessa showed none
01:00:24of her usual arrogance,
01:00:25slumping limply
01:00:26into the embrace
01:00:27of her old lover Oswin,
01:00:28the chief captain
01:00:29of the guards.
01:00:29Oswin's rough,
01:00:30calloused hands
01:00:31gripped her slender waist
01:00:32tightly as their breaths
01:00:33mingled in a display
01:00:34of immacity
01:00:34and wanton behavior.
01:00:36That suspicious
01:00:36Rhett Ronan
01:00:37stared at Jasper
01:00:38for a long time today.
01:00:39Could he have
01:00:40discovered something?
01:00:42My darling,
01:00:43with me here,
01:00:43what are you afraid of?
01:00:44Even if his suspicions
01:00:46lead him to test
01:00:47the bloodline,
01:00:47he will never find
01:00:48a problem.
01:00:49Don't forget,
01:00:50when he sent me
01:00:50to draw our son's blood,
01:00:51I swapped it
01:00:52with my own.
01:00:53That broken appraisal
01:00:54Askel of his
01:00:55will only show
01:00:55an absolute blood relative.
01:00:57Askel pulled Vanessa
01:00:58closer,
01:00:59tilting her chin
01:01:00up proudly.
01:01:01If Ronan
01:01:01hadn't been
01:01:02heavily injured
01:01:02and unconscious
01:01:03during the war
01:01:04three years ago,
01:01:05allowing you
01:01:06to slip into my bed
01:01:07amid the chaos,
01:01:08how else would he
01:01:09have become
01:01:10this cheap father
01:01:11and felt guilty
01:01:12enough to search
01:01:13for you
01:01:13for three whole years?
01:01:15Vanessa's beautiful eyes
01:01:16flashed with a venomous light
01:01:17as she laughed
01:01:18and pinched the man,
01:01:19who told Ronan
01:01:20to pride himself
01:01:21on being deeply affectionate
01:01:22when he is actually
01:01:23a fool
01:01:23who is easily deceived.
01:01:25For three years,
01:01:26he trampled Serafina,
01:01:27the legitimate mistress,
01:01:28into the dirt
01:01:29for the sake
01:01:29of Jasper and mine.
01:01:30Little does he know,
01:01:31the heir he personally
01:01:32cherishes is actually
01:01:34your child!
01:01:35A wild and greedy
01:01:36ambition as his flashed,
01:01:37his voice turned low
01:01:38and vicious.
01:01:39Ronan is completely
01:01:40distracted every day
01:01:41because of Serafina's
01:01:41disappears and the
01:01:42kingdom's fortune
01:01:43has mostly vanished
01:01:44for some reason.
01:01:44The Ascension passage
01:01:45is even closed.
01:01:46In just a few more days,
01:01:48we will deliver
01:01:49the fatal blow.
01:01:52The inner frustration
01:01:53and the mysterious loss
01:01:54of his kingdom's fortune
01:01:55drove him near madness.
01:01:56His mind troubled.
01:01:58He walked aimlessly
01:01:59through the streets
01:01:59of the main city
01:02:00and inadvertently
01:02:01stopped in front
01:02:02of the infirmary.
01:02:03Looking at the
01:02:03somewhat dilapidated doors,
01:02:05the image of Serafina
01:02:06weeping in absolute despair
01:02:08here suddenly flashed
01:02:09through his mind.
01:02:10I must be losing my mind
01:02:11to have walked
01:02:12all the way here.
01:02:12Just as he turned
01:02:13to leave,
01:02:13a stealthy figure
01:02:14carrying a bundle
01:02:15prepared to flee
01:02:16from inside the infirmary.
01:02:17It was the doctor
01:02:18from before.
01:02:18Ever since Serafina
01:02:19unmist erased her holy name
01:02:20and left,
01:02:20causing half of the tree
01:02:21of life to wither,
01:02:22this doctor had been
01:02:23tormented night and day
01:02:24by guilt and fear,
01:02:25finally breaking down
01:02:26and preparing
01:02:26to escape overnight.
01:02:27Ronan's eyes
01:02:28turned sharp,
01:02:29moving like lightning
01:02:29he materialized
01:02:30before the doctor,
01:02:31blocking his path.
01:02:32Where do you think
01:02:33you are running?
01:02:34What are you panicking
01:02:35for upon seeing me?
01:02:37Looking at Ronan's
01:02:38rage distorted face
01:02:39and thinking of
01:02:39the rampant rumors
01:02:40about the primary mistress
01:02:41disappearance
01:02:41and the sacred trees
01:02:42withering,
01:02:43the doctor's psychological
01:02:43defense collapsed
01:02:44completely,
01:02:44with even needing to
01:02:45use a soul-searching
01:02:46technique.
01:02:46He fell to his knees
01:02:47in terror,
01:02:48now coating frantically
01:02:49as tears and muses
01:02:49strem down his face.
01:02:50Lord, spare my life!
01:02:51I deserve to die!
01:02:52I dare not hide it
01:02:53any longer!
01:02:54The primary mistress
01:02:55did not lie,
01:02:56she was not throwing
01:02:56a tamper fighting
01:02:57for effect.
01:02:57Ronan's heart skipped
01:02:58a beat,
01:02:59a profound sense
01:03:00of foreboding
01:03:00enveloping his
01:03:01entire body.
01:03:02Make yourself clear!
01:03:04What do you mean
01:03:04she didn't lie?
01:03:05It was your daughter.
01:03:07Your daughter Iris
01:03:08didn't catch
01:03:08an ordinary chill
01:03:09at all.
01:03:10She was poisoned
01:03:11with the highly
01:03:11insidious soul-eating
01:03:12grass and her core
01:03:13had already begun
01:03:14to wither!
01:03:15Boom,
01:03:15the doctor's words
01:03:16exploded in Ronan's
01:03:16ears like a thunder mist
01:03:17leaving his pail
01:03:18and make him sway
01:03:19on his feet.
01:03:19Ronan grabbed
01:03:21the terrified
01:03:21fleeing doctor
01:03:22by the collar,
01:03:23his eyes bloodshot
01:03:24like a cornered beast.
01:03:26Impossible!
01:03:27I checked her myself
01:03:28that day!
01:03:29Her breathing was steady
01:03:30and her temperature
01:03:31was normal!
01:03:32Even you personally
01:03:33diagnosed it
01:03:33as a common chill!
01:03:35How davricate
01:03:36a poisoning story
01:03:37to me now!
01:03:39It was all fake!
01:03:41Madame Vanessa
01:03:42forced me to do it!
01:03:44It was her!
01:03:45She fed the little
01:03:45princess a forbidden
01:03:46illusion potion
01:03:47before you arrived!
01:03:49Forcibly creating
01:03:50a false appearance
01:03:52of health!
01:03:53The doctor's words
01:03:54cut like knives,
01:03:56tearing Ronan's
01:03:57self-rightless
01:03:58arrogance to pieces.
01:04:00Madame Vanessa
01:04:01bribed me
01:04:01and threatened
01:04:02my family's lives
01:04:03to maintain the illusion
01:04:04all to make you believe
01:04:05the primary mistress
01:04:05was just throwing
01:04:06a jealous fit
01:04:07so you would ignore
01:04:08the mother and daughter
01:04:09leaving the little princess
01:04:10to die from the poison!
01:04:11And...
01:04:12And that flask
01:04:13of sacred tree extract!
01:04:15Hearing the word
01:04:15sacred tree extract
01:04:16Ronan's body shook violently
01:04:18his face draining
01:04:20of all color.
01:04:21That spiritual medicine
01:04:21was given to the primary mistress
01:04:23out of my sudden
01:04:23flash of consciousness!
01:04:24It was not only
01:04:25an antidote to all poisons
01:04:26but the sole hope
01:04:27to save the little princess's life!
01:04:29Yet you...
01:04:29You detested the primary mistress
01:04:31and forcibly snatched
01:04:32that medicine away
01:04:33to secure the position
01:04:34of the perfectly healthy
01:04:35Jasper!
01:04:36Ronan felt as if
01:04:37he'd been struck
01:04:38by lightning
01:04:39all strength
01:04:40instantly draining
01:04:41from his body
01:04:41boundless darkness
01:04:42and immense regret
01:04:43swallowed him
01:04:44like a tsunami
01:04:45he finally realized
01:04:46that Serafina
01:04:47had been telling
01:04:48the truth all along
01:04:49it was him
01:04:50he
01:04:50the father
01:04:51blinded by favoritism
01:04:53and interest
01:04:53who had personally
01:04:55snatched away
01:04:56his daughter's
01:04:56life-saving straw
01:04:57pushing his newborn
01:04:59child
01:04:59into the abyss
01:05:00of death
01:05:01a spray of crimson blood
01:05:03erupted from Ronan's mouth
01:05:05as he collapsed
01:05:06onto his knees
01:05:07on the freezing stone pavement
01:05:08clutching his agonizingly
01:05:10painful chest
01:05:11letting out
01:05:12a desperate
01:05:12piercing streel
01:05:42Serafina
01:05:44you have to hunt
01:05:44through the forbidden forest
01:05:45bring back the primary mistress
01:05:47and the princess
01:05:48go now
01:05:53however one day passed
01:05:55then two days
01:05:56and for three whole days
01:05:57and nights
01:05:58the elite high elves
01:05:59brought back nothing
01:06:00but the desperate news
01:06:01of no trace found
01:06:02Serafina seemed to have
01:06:04dissolved into the wind
01:06:05vanishing completely
01:06:06without a trace
01:06:07failing to find his wife
01:06:09Ronan's grief
01:06:10and self-blame
01:06:10gradually transformed
01:06:11into a towering
01:06:12Merlison test
01:06:13he finally thought
01:06:14of the instigator
01:06:15Vanessa
01:06:16Vanessa
01:06:17you vicious wretch
01:06:19I will tear you
01:06:20into ten thousand pieces
01:06:21gripping the great sword
01:06:22of the wind god
01:06:23that symbolized
01:06:24his kingdom's power
01:06:25he strode toward
01:06:26Vanessa's bedchamber
01:06:27brimming with
01:06:28murderous intent
01:06:29he wanted to settle
01:06:30the score
01:06:31with that evil woman
01:06:32and use the blood
01:06:33of Vanessa and her son
01:06:34to atone for his actions
01:06:35against his wife
01:06:36and daughter
01:06:36however
01:06:37when he reached the chamber
01:06:39he found it
01:06:40completely empty
01:06:42unleashing his divine sense
01:06:43he followed a faint
01:06:44trace of magic
01:06:45straight into the desolate
01:06:47forest behind the temple
01:06:49the moon was dark
01:06:50and the wind howled
01:06:51through the silence
01:06:51of the desolate forest
01:06:52behind the temple
01:06:53Ronan concealed his presence
01:06:54moving step by step
01:06:56into the shadow
01:06:56of the ancient trees
01:06:57with his great sword
01:06:58but before he could see clearly
01:06:59faint whispers
01:07:00and strugglings
01:07:00came from the thicket
01:07:01falling clearly into his ears
01:07:02slow down
01:07:03if that fool Ronan
01:07:04finds out we are dead
01:07:06what are you afraid of
01:07:07he is completely distracted
01:07:08every day because of that wretch
01:07:10running around the world
01:07:10like a madman
01:07:11how could he have time for us
01:07:12I've already coordinated
01:07:13with governor gamma
01:07:14while he will strip the treasury
01:07:15of all magic crystals
01:07:16and public funds tonight
01:07:17and run
01:07:18boom
01:07:18Ronan's mind went completely blank
01:07:19he knew these voices
01:07:20all too well
01:07:21one belonged to his chief
01:07:22captain of the guards
01:07:22Oswin
01:07:23and the other belonged to
01:07:24Vanessa White Moonlight
01:07:24first love he had cherished
01:07:25for three years
01:07:26Ronan trembled violently
01:07:27staring dead at the disheveled
01:07:28man and woman
01:07:28entwiled behind the tree
01:07:30speaking of which
01:07:31Ronan really is an absolute fool
01:07:33for the past three days
01:07:34he has been holding
01:07:34that fake bloodline report
01:07:35comforting himself
01:07:36that Jasper is his child
01:07:37completely unaware
01:07:38that the heir he raised
01:07:39with the kingdom's sacred medicine
01:07:40is actually your biological
01:07:42flesh and blood
01:07:43the truth slapped Ronan
01:07:45across the face
01:07:45shattering his remaining
01:07:46self-respect and pride
01:07:47it turned out
01:07:48he was not only the murderer
01:07:49who had personally pushed
01:07:50his biological daughter
01:07:51to her death
01:07:51but also the world's biggest fool

01:08:09as they hit the ground
01:08:10when Vanessa saw Ronan
01:08:12who stood there
01:08:12with overwhelming ferocity
01:08:14she lost her wits

01:08:29and prinzled several
01:08:30poisonous smoke bombs
01:08:31with a loud explosion
01:08:32a toxic mist filled the area
01:08:33by the time the storm
01:08:34blew the mist away
01:08:35the disheveled couple
01:08:36had all flooded the wind forest
01:08:37using their familiarity
01:08:38with the de ground
01:08:39as the cold wind blew
01:08:40he looked around
01:08:41at the empty surroundings
01:08:42appearing as though
01:08:43he had aged a hundred years
01:08:44Ronan fell to his knees
01:08:46his fingers digging
01:08:47into the dirt
01:08:48as he wept desperately
01:08:50like a beaten dog
01:08:52in the dead of night
01:08:54meanwhile
01:08:55inside the flawless
01:08:56radiant temple of life
01:08:57in the supreme sanctuary
01:08:59Iris had completely recovered
01:09:00she was now dressed
01:09:01in garments woven
01:09:02from the rarest golden silk

01:09:10exuding an incredibly
01:09:12noble bloodline
01:09:13standing beside the cradle
01:09:14Serafina gently played
01:09:16with her daughter
01:09:16her eyes filled only
01:09:18with maternal love
01:09:18as for the past
01:09:20humiliations and affection
01:09:21the high elfin king
01:09:22slowly walked over
01:09:23to his daughter
01:09:23looking at his reborn
01:09:25granddaughter with affection
01:09:26he then turned a serious
01:09:27gaze toward Serafina
01:09:28my daughter
01:09:29I have already ordered
01:09:30a complete block out
01:09:31against all past

01:09:45and turned to face
01:09:45her father
01:09:46her gaze calm
01:09:47and instaurative
01:09:47completely deblined
01:09:48a kind of mortal weakness
01:09:49father I understand

01:09:56to control my destiny
01:09:57and protect my iris
01:09:58for a lifetime of peace
01:10:00the father laughed
01:10:01with relief
01:10:01and immediately announced
01:10:03good

01:10:12of our supreme sanctuary
01:10:13in 10,000 years
01:10:15meanwhile
01:10:16the wind kingdom

01:10:17of the continent
01:10:18had fallen into
01:10:19a perilous situation

01:10:20and Oswin's betrayal
01:10:21and thiefed of the funds
01:10:22a fierce internal conflict
01:10:24erupted within the kingdom
01:10:25worse still

01:10:27and severed
01:10:28the tree of life withered

01:10:30overall magic

01:12:44his belated affection
01:12:45and self-reflection
01:12:47on the day of the ceremony
01:12:48the supreme sanctuary
01:12:49shone with magnificent
01:12:50golden light
01:12:51piercing the sky
01:12:51the entire sacred mountain
01:12:53was to look inventable
01:12:54holy unicorns
01:12:55soared through the air
01:12:55as tribal leaders
01:12:56and ancient deities
01:12:57gathered to elders
01:12:58meanwhile
01:12:59resmissly in the most
01:13:00remote corner
01:13:00at the outmost edge
01:13:01of the main hall
01:13:02not even daring
01:13:03to raise their heads
01:13:04as a sacred ancient bell
01:13:05echoed through the heavens
01:13:06a grand and vast chant
01:13:07filled the world
01:13:08silence across all kingdoms
01:13:10we welcome the ascension
01:13:11of her majesty
01:13:12the high elfin queen
01:13:13a supreme throne
01:13:15radiating immense authority
01:13:17slowly rose from the center
01:13:18of the tree
01:13:19ronan and his mother
01:13:20eleda pressed their heads
01:13:21firmly against the freezing
01:13:22floor tiles
01:13:23their bodies trembling violently
01:13:24under the supreme bloodline
01:13:25pressure that descended
01:13:26from above
01:13:26nil of a strange procession
01:13:27under the immense pressure
01:13:28ronan managed to raise his head
01:13:30with great difficulty
01:13:31wanting to look upon
01:13:32the mysterious antres
01:13:32who could save his kingdom's life
01:13:34however
01:13:35when his gaze
01:13:36pierced through the golden light
01:13:38and clearly saw the figure
01:13:40sitting upon the supreme throne
01:13:42the massive natural wings
01:13:43unfurled behind her back
01:13:45and the daughter
01:13:46she held in her arms
01:13:47sucking her fing
01:13:48roman's pupils shrank
01:13:50violently in an instant
01:13:51as if struck by lightning
01:13:52his breath catching
01:13:53completely in his throat
01:13:54that face

01:13:57cold and peerless
01:13:58high elven queen
01:13:59who ruled over
01:14:00the entire sanctuary
01:14:01was actually seraphina
01:14:05seraphina
01:14:06ronan's startled cry
01:14:07shattered the silence
01:14:08of the temple
01:14:08high priestess alonda
01:14:10looked up and recognized
01:14:11the beautiful empress
01:14:12radiating absolute authority
01:14:13from the altar
01:14:14she misconnect

01:14:20two golden spears
01:14:21struck down
01:14:22with the force
01:14:22of natural law
01:14:26she looked down upon him
01:14:28who lay like a dead dog
01:14:29at the bottom of the steps
01:14:30while iris
01:14:30blew bubbles in her arms
01:14:31there was no hatred
01:14:32in her eyes
01:14:33only the disgust
01:14:34one would feel
01:14:35looking at an open sewer
01:14:36ronan do you think

01:14:38of speaking my holy name
01:14:39do you think
01:14:40you are worthy
01:14:40of calling my daughter's name
01:14:42a golden beam of law
01:14:43became a massive hand
01:14:44of divine power
01:14:44and struck
01:14:45vithi
01:14:45ronan
01:14:45across the face

01:14:47half of his facial bones

01:14:49and this slap

01:14:54the harder backhand

01:14:56lack of conscience
01:14:57for personally stealing
01:14:58your biological daughter's
01:14:59life-saving medicine
01:15:00the leaders of the various kingdoms
01:15:02expressed their disdain
01:15:04and spit in disapproval
01:15:05clutching his swollen face
01:15:07self-respect
01:15:08was publicly trampled
01:15:10before all kingdoms
01:15:11his reputation
01:15:12was completely destroyed
01:15:23ronan once a proud general
01:15:25now knelt in the dust
01:15:26his pleas echoed
01:15:27empty and desperate
01:15:28seeing an opportunity
01:15:29alita cast aside all dignity
01:15:31and began copycating frantically
01:15:32your divine majesty
01:15:33for the sub the wind kingdom
01:15:34being of the royal family
01:15:35thousand years
01:15:36please stay your hand
01:15:37and save our withering tree of life
01:15:38looking at the mother and icon
01:15:40who were still calculating
01:15:41for benefits even now
01:15:42the mockery on seraphina's boobs
01:15:44deepened to the extreme
01:15:45save you
01:15:46the wind kingdom only enjoyed
01:15:47its past glory
01:15:48because i nourished it
01:15:48with my supreme source power
01:15:50since you will reclaim
01:15:51everything i granted you
01:15:51she slowly raised her hand
01:15:53curving her fingers
01:15:54and made a grasping motion
01:15:55toward ronan and alation
01:15:56from afar
01:15:56in an instant
01:15:57the ancient wind laws
01:15:58inside ronan and alina
01:16:00which had been granted
01:16:01by the royal family
01:16:02turned into strands
01:16:03of golden light
01:16:03and were violently stripped
01:16:04from their bones and souls
01:16:06my magic
01:16:08my cultivation
01:16:12it was a stripping process
01:16:14more painful than death
01:16:15within moments
01:16:16ronan's cultivation plummeted
01:16:17from a high tea lord
01:16:18to something inferior
01:16:19even to an ordinary low tier elf
01:16:20turning him into a complete and vital
01:16:21pass down my divine
01:16:22and the pain
01:16:22from ties
01:16:23but caring of the ward
01:16:24can to point if his leave
01:16:25age be reduced to sinful
01:16:26withered wood
01:16:26forbidden from ever
01:16:27entering the sanctuary
01:16:28someone throw this disgusting
01:16:29pile of garbage out
01:16:30a divine guard
01:16:31kicked ronan hard
01:16:32in the abdomen
01:16:33sending the two broken
01:16:34stripped and thoroughly
01:16:36disgraced wretchers
01:16:37tumbling down the nine
01:16:38layers of the altar
01:16:39amid the laughter
01:16:40of all kingdoms
01:16:43internal conflict
01:16:44spread like wildfire
01:16:45through the wind kingdom
01:16:46and the anger of the lower tier elves
01:16:47completely overthrew the main manor
01:16:48meanwhile
01:16:49lying on a bed
01:16:50in a side purveal
01:16:51the old woman
01:16:51Alina trembled inside the empty room. She had previously been blinded by greed secreting mass
01:16:55amounts of illicit wealth from Vanessa, Oswin and Gamma to secure their positions. Even the
01:16:58forceful snatching of Iris's sacred tree extract had been driven largely by her own greed. Now,
01:17:02retribution had arrived. The kingdom was ruined, the treasures were lost, and even the eldest
01:17:07grandson Jasper, whom she had cherished night and day as the future hope of the kingdom,
01:17:10was confirmed to be nothing to dirty bastard. The heavy and terrifying karmic backlash transformed
01:17:14into invisible bullets, cutting at her guilty soul night and day. The extreme fear and massive
01:17:18mental shock drove the normally arrogant and harsh old woman completely sane. That night,
01:17:24as the sounds of rioting echo outside, the old woman ended her guilty life with a white silk cord
01:17:29hanging from a beam in the cold, lonely main manor. The next morning, when Ronan pushed open the door
01:17:37and saw his mother's stiff body hanging in mid-air, he only let out a few horny, tragic laughs,
01:17:44unable to squeeze out even a single tear. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away from the
01:17:49Wind Kingdom at the frozen border, an incredibly luxurious sacred carriage was hurtling through the
01:17:53sky. The carriage compartment was stuffed with radiant, rare treasures, the entire foundation of
01:17:58the Wind Kingdom, that Vanessa and Chief Cap Two Wolves shone only with absolute Oz greed for wealth.
01:18:03Vanessa! This chest of divine items belongs to me! Without my guard team coordinating, you wouldn't
01:18:08have even made it out the main gates of the manor. Nonsense! Without the Lord's Talisman that I stole,
01:18:13what would you even be? These treasures are my reliance for the rest of my life! Don't you dare
01:18:16take a single penny! In the face of interest, their past familiarity vanished completely. Due to an
01:18:21unfair distribution of the spoils, malice erupted in both of them, and they immediately engaged in a
01:18:25fierce magical brawl inside the narrow carriage. Wild wind blades and toxic mists clashed violently inside
01:18:30the compartment, creating continuous loud explosions. As the out-of-control carriage traveled along a highly
01:18:35treacherous mountain path. The draught bears panicked and went wild. Amid a piercing streak, the out-of-control
01:18:51carriage plunged off the cliff edge, carrying the couple and the treasures they had schemed so hard
01:18:56to steal, crashing heavily into the boulder-street bottom of the deep valley. Beneath the deep valley,
01:19:02the rain poured heavily, the carriage had shattered completely, with broken wood and magic crystals
01:19:07scattered across the ground. Amid the rubble, the bodies of Vanessa and Oshwick lay twisted together, torn
01:19:12apart by the wild magic to the point of being unrecognizable, dying an incredibly gruesome death. That green tea
01:19:18face that had once used illusion potions to maintain a false appearance of perfection was now sliced and bloodied
01:19:25by the rocks. Buzz... Space rippled slightly as several royal guards clad in pure gold robes quietly
01:19:32descended upon the crash site. Serafina did not even need to act personally, merely sending the
01:19:36sanctuary's cleanup group to wrap things up. This is the heavenly karma for those who betray her majesty.
01:19:42The guards raised their hands, golden light surging from from their palms. As the magic
01:19:46Uranus activated, the scattered ancient treasures and sacred resource of the Wind Kingdom were entirely
01:19:50gathered and reclaimed. These items carried a significant amount of fortune, and now that they
01:19:54were continuously funneled into the treasury of the supreme always had, the villains had calculated
01:19:58everything, only to lose their lives in the end, and turn the Wind Kingdom's thousands of years of
01:20:04accumulation into a stepping stone to secure Serafia's supreme royal power, which was ironic to the extreme.
01:20:12Having lost everything, he sank completely into boundless darkness. He had no mother, no kingdom,
01:20:17and no status to pride himself on. Whenever night fell across the empty ruins, he seemed to hear her
01:20:21gentle voices and another's painful cries from her swaddling clothes. Those memories transformed into
01:20:25the most brutal torture, tearing his mind apart bit by bit. Serafina, look I brought the sweetest
01:20:30spring water for our daughter today. He began to exhibit severe split personality symptoms. At times,
01:20:35he would kneel on the ground and slap himself frantically, crying out that he shouldn't have
01:20:39snatched his daughter's life-saving medicine. At other times, he would embrace the empty air gently,
01:20:43pretending his wife and child were still by his side. He drowned his sorrows in alcohol all day,
01:20:55his mind becoming increasingly fractured, as he remained trapped indefinitely within the endless
01:20:59regret he had personally fashioned. Roman curled up in the corner of a freezing stone seat, his clothes
01:21:06tattered, his once proud spine broken by regret. His hands were blooded and his fingernails filled with
01:21:12mud from frantically digging through the rubble for garments Serafina had left behind.
01:21:19Look at that. That's the wise lord who trampled his true wife for a green tea woman back then.
01:21:29He really is a pathetic dog. Ronian was completely deaf to these mocks,
01:21:34merely clutching a tattered cloth doll tightly to his chest, a toy he had fashioned for Iris from memory.
01:21:39Since his magic was entirely gone, his appearance was aging at a visible rate,
01:21:44his long hair turning into dry white strands. Whenever the harsh alcohol hit his throat,
01:21:49he would begin to self-harm. He used sharp stones to carve the name Serafina deeply into his arms,
01:21:57drawing blood, yet it could not stop the splitting pain in his chest.
01:22:03Serafina! This is retribution! This is my retribution! You let me live,
01:22:11only to find that every second of being alive is an absolute hell!
01:22:16The once high and mighty king had ultimately transformed into a mentally
01:22:20degranged madman fighting with wild dogs for food in the ruins. Death would be a merciful release for him,
01:22:26and remaining conscious to endure this life sentence of regret, was his ultimate punishment.
01:22:32As for Jasper, the three-year-old fake he who had been pampered by the entire kingdom,
01:22:37he was, after all, an innocent and ignorant child who did not understand the greed and sins of adults.
01:22:42With the deaths of Vanair and Osquin, the vanity, privileges and flamberty that had once surrounded him
01:22:47had vanished overnight. Once the truth of the royal bloodline array spread, he was no longer the high
01:22:51and mighty young master, and the silver of magic he had forced out by stealing Iris' sacred tree extract
01:22:55completely withered due to a lack of subsequent nourishment. The forged mark on his forehead
01:22:59disappeared, and he was reduced to a perfectly ordinary, mediocre child.
01:23:04Take him away. Let him become an ordinary farming child at the border.
01:23:10This ruin of the Wind Kingdom should not retain a bloodline of sin.
01:23:30He no longer had a luxurious golden cradle or a crowd of attendants surrounding him.
01:23:34He was sent to a remote village far from power struggles, becoming an ordinary orphan who knew
01:23:39nothing of his birth parents. Perhaps, staying far away from the grievers here.
01:23:45The coronation ceremony lasted for seven days before finally came to a successful conclusion.
01:23:50Serafina stood atop the highest altar of the Supreme Sanctuary, with past severing her ties,
01:23:55completely submission, weakness, and ridiculous mortal affection,
01:23:58to radiate and natural wings behind her back over all the war.
01:24:01And by her side, she held the hand of a beautiful, smiling young girl.
01:24:04Iris had completely recovered. Not only was the supreme bloodline within her body fully awakened,
01:24:08but her large eyes shone as brightly as a galaxy. Shaking her little head,
01:24:11she held Seraf onto the divine throne that symbolized the highest power of the Elfen
01:24:14world amid the mountain-shattering worship of all living beings.
01:24:17Mother, it's so beautiful here. Will anyone dare to bully us from now on?
01:24:24Serafina looked down, gently stroking the brilliant supreme golden mark on her forehead,
01:24:29her eyes filled with maternal resolve.
01:24:33No, my darling. From this day forward, Mother will protect you,
01:24:36and no one will ever be able to harm you in the slightest.
01:24:39Mother and daughter sat side by side upon the divine throne.
01:24:41Beneath their feet lay the vast, prospering territory of the Elven royal family.
01:24:45The Empress, who had cast aside romantic attachments, now stood alone in her divinity,
01:24:48ruling over the sanctuary and beginning a legendary era that belonged entirely to them.
