Husband and Brother Destroyed Me， I Came Back

Short filmTranscript
00:00As the bishop announced Adrian and I were wed, a group of blood-soaked mercenaries bandishing swords burst in.
00:06Adrian didn't hesitate for a moment, shumming me towards the ruffins,
00:09then turning and fleeing with his cousin Lillian without a backward glance.
00:13Under the horrified gaze of the other nobles attending the wedding,
00:17I was pinned to the ground by those rumpels and subjected to brutal humiliation.
00:22When the ruffins finally dispersed, I was lying in a pool of blood,
00:26my abdomen a bloody mess from sharp blades, my body covered in marks of shame.
00:31My parents, witnessing the tragedy, both fainted.
00:35My brother, General Rowan, trembled he carried my broken body back to my bedroom.
00:40He entered the palace that very night, begging the king to allow him to eliminate those rumpens
00:45and send a royal physician to save my life.
00:48In a daze, I faintly heard Rowan and Adrian whispering,
00:53Those mercenaries have been thoroughly silenced by me.
00:56No one will ever know that you deliberately sent them to destroy Seraphine.
01:01But Seraphina looks so miserable.
01:03But this is all your fault.
01:05You wanted Lillian to be duchess.
01:07Couldn't you have just said so directly?
01:09For Lillian, I'd even have persuaded Seraphine to be your mistress.
01:12Why did you torment her like this?
01:13Adrian shook his head, his expression dark.
01:17Seraphina has noble blood.
01:18How could she possibly willingly give up the duchess crone out to Lillian?
01:21Only by making her feel like she's a dirty, broken thing will she treat Lillian with humility and not compete
01:27with her.
01:30Rowan sighed, muttering to himself as if to reassure himself.
01:34You were poisoned that night and Lillian lost his virginia to save you.
01:37She's carrying your child, yet she can only be your mistress.
01:41It's truly unfair to her.
01:43I can't marry her, so I can only sacrifice Seraphina for her happiness.
01:47Although Seraphina has lost her crassity, it's still my sister.
01:50Long as I'm here, no one will dare to look down on her.
01:53Just don't mistreat Seraphina in the future.
01:55Everything I've done is merely to repay Lillian's kindness.
01:59Seraphina will always be the only wife in my heart.
02:02I've already transferred my two manias to her name.
02:05Even without status, she will be my most favoured woman.
02:10She will be content.
02:11So all the despair and suffering I endured was merely a conspiracy they concrocted to pamper Lillian.
02:17I used all my strength to smash my wedding ring against the wall.
02:21This kind of false love and kinship, I want none of it.
02:25The royal physicians arrived quickly, surrounding my bed, their brows beaded with sweat from urgency.
02:31Thank the gods.
02:33General Rowan brought us in time.
02:35Miss Seraphina can still be saved.
02:36However, these words instantly darkened the expressions of my brother and husband.
02:42Adrian immediately pressed.
02:43What about her fertility?
02:45Can it still be preserved?
02:47The physician, thinking he was concerned for me, quickly reassured him.
02:51It can be preserved, my lord.
02:53With careful recuperation, the Duchess will still be able to bear children for you in the future.
02:58Before the words finished, Adrian suddenly drew his sword, pushed aside the physician, and without hesitation, plunged the blade into
03:06my abdomen.
03:08Your grace!
03:10The physician screamed in terror, and Rowan, shocked, also took a step back.
03:16Adrian's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, but he clenched his teeth tightly, cruelly twisting the blade.
03:22I cannot allow her to have the possibility of bearing any children.
03:26I convulsed and wild on the bed from the pain, but I didn't even have the strength to struggle.
03:32My lord!
03:33Why do you treat your wife this way?
03:35The physician cried out in despair.
03:38Even if you despise her for being defiled by thugs, you shouldn't harm her with such barbaric methods!
03:45With this sword thrust, not only will the Duchess be forever unable to conceive, but her very life force has
03:52been damaged.
03:52I fear she won't survive this winter!
03:55However, the physician's warning did not shay Adrian in the slightest.
03:58How could I possibly despise my Seraphina?
04:01His expression was dazed, and a sickly heartache appeared on his face.
04:05It's just that I promised Lillian that I would give her everything she desires.
04:09She wants her child to be my sole heir.
04:12As a nobleman, I cannot go back on my word.
04:16He leaned down and wiped the cold sweat from my forehead with his hands stained with my blood.
04:23Seraphina, no matter how many rare and precious herbs are needed, I will find them to keep you alive.
04:29You'll understand, won't you?
04:31Rowan let out a long sigh, turned, and pointed his sword at the physician's, his eyes dark and menacing.
04:37If any of you dare to utter a single word about what happened tonight, I will send you to the
04:43gallows.
04:44A cold glint splashed, and the physicians shivered, no longer daring to make a sound.
04:49Hurry!
04:50And give her a strong painkiller!
04:52Can't you see she's in such agony?
04:55Adrian, eyes red, roared.
04:58He held me in his arms, his expression distraught with grief.
05:01Seraphina, from now on, I will never let anyone hurt you again.
05:08Don't be afraid, Seraphina.
05:10Rowan said in a deep voice, like the most devoted guardian.
05:13I will stay by your side every step of the way until you recover.
05:17I closed my eyes, tears silently tracing paths into my hair.
05:21They held me tightly, appearing to be in extreme distress.
05:26But just then, a trembling maid reported from outside the door that Miss Lillian was trying on the Duchess's formal
05:31gown and wished for the two lords to come and see.
05:36At that instant, both of their breaths faulted simultaneously.
05:40A few seconds later, Adrian said...
05:43I won't go.
05:45Although he said so, his face revealed unconcealed doting affection.
05:49The gold thread embroidery on that gown was a design I personally drew and had the tailor rush to complete.
05:55When she is formally crowned as Duchess in a few days, I will naturally see her at her most beautiful.
06:01Rowan also softly echoed.
06:03I won't go either.
06:05Lillian's sapphire crown was crafted by an artisan at my request, and I already know how perfectly it suits her.
06:14I had the wedding preparation settled a month ago.
06:17Tell her to rest well for the pregnancy and not to overexert himself.
06:21I have also prepared all of Lillian's wedding gifts.
06:24The treasure acquired through ten years of military hours enough to circle the central plaza of the capital.
06:29I will definitely wouldn't let the royal family look down on her.
06:33They looked at each other and sighed.
06:36It's just that Seraphine's fate hangs in the balance right now, so we must stay and watch over her.
06:42For the first time, they chose to stay by my side.
06:46Yet I only felt a sorrow that pierced me to the bone.
06:50Dark blood continuously gushed from the corners of my mouth,
06:53and amidst their terrified cries, I completely succumbed to darkness.
06:57When I woke up again, Rowan and Adrian were kneeling by my bedside,
07:02looking haggard with disheveled struggle.
07:05Seeing me open my eyes, their eyes lit up with wild joy.
07:09Seraphina, you've finally woken up.
07:14It's all my fault for not protecting you.
07:16Adrian, a man who had never shed tears on the battlefield, was now crying like a child.
07:23I couldn't even save my own sister. These hands of mine might as well be broken!
07:27Rowan's eyes were also red-rinned, and he even drew a dagger,
07:31pressing it against his wrist as if to cut it off.
07:33I closed my eyes and forced a desolate, cold laugh.
07:37How could I blame you? It's only because my life is worthless.
07:42Their expressions dimmed a little, but without any trace of guilt.
07:46Seraphina, the physician said you probably won't be able to have your own children,
07:50but rest assured I will never despise you for being unclean.
07:54Seraphina, you are still the woman I love most in my heart.
07:57Adrian looked at me cautiously.
07:59Recover well. If you truly like children, I'll adopt a child for you later, alright?
08:05I laughed silently.
08:07Adopt a child? Lillian's child?
08:11They had even taken away my right to bear my own bloodline.
08:14Why should I raise the flesh and blood of the woman who climbed over my flesh and blood?
08:19I slowly yoke my head.
08:21No need. I don't have that good fortune.
08:25Seraphina, don't dwell on these bloody matters anymore.
08:29Your brother swears to you that he will never let anyone harm you again.
08:33They casually plassied me, coaxing me to drink the bitter medicinal concoction.
08:38They thought I would lose consciousness after drinking the painkiller,
08:41but they didn't know I was already in so much pain that even medicine couldn't stop it.
08:48I have already reported this matter to the Grand Duchess and the King.
08:52The matter of you being defiled by roughens and your reputation ruined will soon incur royal sanctions.
08:57The Royal Tribunal's methods are very harsh,
09:01and I truly can't bear to see you suffer.
09:03I'll leave first in a moment.
09:05I have also informed father and mother.
09:08They have determined that you have disgraced the family's honor and will soon strip you of your noble title.
09:14Rowan closed his eyes in pain.
09:17If it weren't for the royal decree and father and mother personally stepping in,
09:20how could this man have been apsi-aid?
09:22Do you think I wanted to see her endure such humiliation?
09:24They left, speaking grandiloest words, but my heart ached so much I couldn't breathe.
09:31Not long after they left, the tribunal knights arrived.
09:35My scandal had already spread throughout the entire capital.
09:39The Grand Duchess, holding a perfumed silk handkerchief and pinching her nose,
09:44walked to my bedside, her face full of disgust.
09:47You actually provoked those despicable ruffles at a sacred wedding,
09:51making the entire noble circle a laughingstock.
09:54A nearby noble joined in the ridicule.
09:56Madam, please calm down.
09:59Although Serafina has disgraced the Duke and the royal family,
10:02she herself has been ravaged by those men and won't even be able to bear children in the future.
10:07She is also a pitiful person, so please don't scold her anymore.
10:11The Grand Duchess Nates was instantly arundered.
10:15Pitiful her!
10:17If she had been directly killed by those ruffles,
10:20at least a bit of noble dignity would have been preserved!
10:23Effective immediately, Serafina Vile is stripped of all her titles
10:27and exiled to the border.
10:30Drag her to the square!
10:32Today, I will cleanse the capital of its blight
10:34and let everyone see the fate of an immodest woman.
10:39A group of city guards rushed in from outside the door.
10:43They ignored my screams and dragged me,
10:45still gravely injured and unwield,
10:48all the way to the street outside the manor.
10:50All passing nobles and commoners stopped,
10:53watching me,
10:54trampled in the mud by the guards,
10:56with mocking,
10:57disdainful,
10:58and even excited eyes.
11:00Help me!
11:01I struggled desperately,
11:03but no one cared.
11:05They only saw it as an entertaining farce.
11:08I heard this young lady used to live in the border barracks.
11:10I bet she was just there to seduce men!
11:12I heard she got involved with those roughets right in front of all the elders,
11:16making the lord faint on the spot.
11:19Just then, my father, riding a horse and with a face full of throst,
11:23rode through the crowd.
11:24I desperately stretched out my mud-stained hand.
11:29Father, save me!
11:31A sharp whiplash struck my face,
11:34instantly tearing the skin
11:35and utterly shattering my last slick of hope.
11:37Father looked down from his height,
11:39his eyes cold and gruel.
11:40For the vile family to raise a daughter like you
11:44is truly a disgrace to the family.
11:46From this day forward,
11:47I sever all blood lies with you.
11:50Your life and death are entirely at the disposal
11:52of the royal family and the duke.
11:55Ignoring the sharp pain on my face,
11:57I pleaded desperately.
11:59Father, I am innocent!
12:00I was framed!
12:02Please investigate the truth and save me!
12:05Tears mixed with blood fell into the dust,
12:08but father merely turned his horse's head away coldly.
12:12You have brought shame upon the entire family,
12:15Seraphina.
12:16If you have even a shred of noble dignity left,
12:18you should go die!
12:22Blood blurred my vision
12:23and also blurred father's merciless retreating figure.
12:27Should I die?
12:29What exactly did I do wrong?
12:31Just then, Adrian rushed in from outside the crowd
12:34and pulled me tightly into his brace.
12:37Who gave you permission to touch Seraphina?
12:40Mother,
12:41what do I have to do for you to let her go?
12:44I swore that I would only love her in this life,
12:46no matter what she became.
12:48No matter what infamy she carried,
12:50I would still love her!
12:52You are truly possessed by a demon!
12:56Just a filthy woman!
12:58You,
12:59a dignified Duke's heir!
13:00What is there to be reluctant about?
13:02If you don't grant me this,
13:03I will endure the whipping with her.
13:06The Grand Duchess trembled with rage
13:08and raised the whip,
13:09striking down repeatedly.
13:12Adrian shielded me
13:13and silently took the lashes.
13:15He looked at me with deep affection,
13:17but I used my last ounce of strength
13:19to push him away.
13:21I voluntarily dissolved the engagement?
13:25The Duke and Miss Lillian are deeply in love.
13:27Please take her as your lawful wife.
13:30I wish you
13:31a fulfillment of your wishes.
13:35Adrian stiffened abruptly
13:36and held me tight.
13:38His body trembled violently,
13:40but I couldn't tell if it was sadness for my misery
13:42or excitement
13:43that Lillian could finally take her place.
13:45Seraphina,
13:46don't worry.
13:47My marriage to Lillian is just to give the royal family an explanation.
13:50You are always the one I love.
13:53And we will be together forever.
13:54I lay motionless,
13:55like a corpse.
13:57Forever is too far away,
13:58Adrian.
13:59I don't want to see you for another second.
14:01As soon as that gift is ready,
14:02I will disappear completely.
14:04When I regained consciousness,
14:05I had been thrown into a cold,
14:08damp room.
14:08The air was filled with mold and dust,
14:10and I coughed violently.
14:13The wound in my abdomen ripped open again,
14:15and blood stained the worn-out bedsheets.
14:18I called out weekly for a long time
14:19before the heavy wooden door was pushed open.
14:22A coarse maid walked in.
14:24What are you screaming about?
14:26If you upset the Lord's mood,
14:28be careful.
14:28He'll beat you to death.
14:32Where is this?
14:34Why did you send me here?
14:37The maid scanned me contemptuously.
14:40My voice was dry,
14:40and I didn't continue asking,
14:42turning to plead instead.
14:44My wound is bleeding.
14:45Please help me get some medicine and bandages.
14:48You're worse than a mistress now.
14:50Dying is just a matter of being thrown into the moat.
14:52Do you still deserve medicine?
14:54His Grace the Duke ordered this abandoned tower
14:57to be cleared out for you to live in,
14:58which is already very good to you.
15:00The main castle is where the Duchess lives.
15:03Tonight is the Lord and Lady's wedding night.
15:07Hot water has been called for five or six times
15:09in the master bedroom.
15:10The Lord has given a death order.
15:13No one is allowed to disturb them for these three days.
15:16Seeing my lack of reaction,
15:17the maid snorted coldly,
15:18turned.
15:19She really thinks she's a noble.
15:21All her scandalous affairs have spread everywhere.
15:24The Weir's family even invited the bishop
15:27to publicly in-air their disolument of her.
15:29How shameful.
15:30The tower was as cold as an ice cellar,
15:33but far less chilling than their mockery.
15:36I huddled in the thin blanket,
15:38coughing up blood incessantly,
15:39my body temperature slowly draining away.
15:41The next second,
15:42the door opened again.
15:45My personal maid,
15:46Mira was roughly pushed in.
15:49Her face was bruised,
15:50and as soon as she saw me,
15:51tears instantly burst forth.
15:54I couldn't even get a bit of
15:55haenobatic medicine or charcoal.
15:58The butler said His Grace,
16:00the Duke,
16:00was in high spirits
16:02and specially locked us in here,
16:04not allowing anyone near.
16:11I trembled and pointed to the mountain of dusty clutter
16:14piled in the corner.
16:17Bring those things over and burn them.
16:20Even without my injuries,
16:21I would be frozen to death here.
16:23Mira carried the items one by one
16:25to the fireplace
16:26and lit them with flint.
16:28As the fire lit up,
16:29she saw what the items were
16:30and her face was filled with shock
16:32and grief.
16:33Yes!
16:35Please!
16:36They were all incredibly familiar items.
16:39All the gifts
16:40I had given Adrian.
16:41From the sword scabbard
16:43I personally inlaid with gems
16:44to the hunting suit
16:45I stayed up all night
16:46to sew for him.
16:47All of them
16:48were casually discarded here,
16:50just like our ten years of love.
16:53I was in a trance for a moment.
16:55No wonder,
16:56all these years,
16:57I had never seen him
16:58wear anything I gave him.
16:59I once asked him,
17:00Why have you never worn
17:01the things I gave you?
17:02And he just kissed
17:02the back of my hand deeply.
17:03The gifts you gave me
17:04are too precious.
17:05How could I bear to use them?
17:07I've locked them all away
17:08in the safest secret room.
17:10It turned out
17:10that the secret room he spoke of
17:11was this tower
17:12filled with trash.
17:14I let out a mournful laugh.
17:15What's the difference between me
17:17and this trash?
17:18Burn it all.
17:19One by one,
17:20tokens of love
17:21were thrown into the fire,
17:22burning to ashes.
17:23The last item
17:24was a portrait Adrian
17:25personally painted for me
17:26on the night of my
17:27Cunning of Age ceremony.
17:29On the edge of the portrait,
17:30he had also written a vow.
17:32May I be with my Seraphina
17:33through life and death,
17:34our souls eternally bound.
17:36I snatched the portrait
17:38and without the slightest hesitation,
17:40threw it into the roaring fire.
17:46What through life and death?
17:48It's just a lie!
17:53The firelight illuminated my face,
17:55pale as a ghost,
17:56and Mira finally couldn't hold back,
17:58breaking down in tears.
18:00Miss!
18:02They're all saying that the reason
18:04His Grace the Duke favours Lillian so much
18:06is because he was struck
18:06by the deadly Blackthorn years ago
18:08and Lillian sacrificed her innocence
18:10to save him,
18:11so he neglected you for her sake.
18:15But it was clearly you
18:16who risked your life
18:17to save him back then.
18:20To extract the poison
18:21from his body,
18:22you even...
18:24Not only that,
18:26even General Rowan
18:27was deceived.
18:28St. Lillian once took
18:29a fatal sword blow
18:31for the General
18:31on the battlefield,
18:32but it was clearly you
18:34who blocked the assassin's sword
18:35for the General back then,
18:36almost dying
18:37in the snowy plains.
18:39Miss,
18:40you must hold on.
18:41As long as you tell them
18:43the truth,
18:43they will...
18:46Even if it wasn't me
18:47who saved them back then,
18:48even if everything
18:49was really Lillian's doing,
18:51do I deserve to be thrown
18:52into a mob
18:53and torn to shreds?
18:55How dare he use the gauge
18:56of repanning funlies
18:57to turn me into
18:58this inhuman,
18:59ghostly state?
19:00What do 20 years
19:01of blood,
19:02lawns and bont for?
19:04Mira's face was pale,
19:06unable to utter a word.
19:08The only wedding gift
19:09Rowan gave me
19:10when I married
19:10was also thrown
19:11into the corner
19:12as trash.
19:13This was the first time
19:14I opened that box.
19:15It contained only
19:16coarse burlap
19:17and broken scrap iron.
19:19There wasn't even
19:20a single piece
19:20that looked like silver.
19:22This was the gift
19:22my brother,
19:23the Kingdom's General,
19:24prepared for his
19:25only biological sister.
19:26I personally threw
19:28the burlap into the fire,
19:29piece by piece,
19:30both crying and laughing.
19:32Brother,
19:32did you condone
19:33Adrian's atrocities,
19:34trample me into the mud
19:35and even expel me
19:36from the family
19:37all to repay
19:38that woman's kindness?
19:39What about the oath
19:40you swore to the gods
19:41when you were little,
19:42saying you would protect me
19:43even if it meant
19:43be an enemy of the world?
19:45What about the ten years
19:46I spent with him
19:46at the border?
19:47Such a clumsy lie.
19:48Why couldn't people
19:49as smart as them
19:50see through it?
19:52Because they didn't want
19:53to see through it at all.
19:56They just needed a reason
19:58to comfortably hurt me
19:59while favoring another woman.
20:03They are convinced
20:04that no matter
20:05how much I'm trampled,
20:06I won't leave.
20:08Like a stone,
20:09if it doesn't break
20:10when it falls,
20:12they'll think it's okay
20:13to drop it
20:14a few more times.
20:16They'll reassure themselves,
20:18look,
20:18I was just careless.
20:20Look,
20:20she's very strong.
20:22But I am flesh and blood.
20:23I feel pain.
20:25I really want to die.
20:30Why should I let them
20:31throw me into an abyss
20:32of eternal damnation
20:34again and again?
20:36The flame soared,
20:37just like the hatred
20:38burning in my chest.
20:39I spoke softly,
20:40I will never waste
20:41the remaining half of my life
20:42on these two beasts.
20:44When I woke up again,
20:45Adrian was sitting
20:46by the bed.
20:47Seeing me open my eyes,
20:48he immediately leaned down
20:50and hugged me tightly.
20:52You know perfectly well
20:52that I married Lillian
20:53just to save your life.
20:54How could you be so childish
20:56as to set fire to the tower
20:57out of anger?
20:58Do you know that the smoke
20:59drifted over
21:00and almost made Lillian
21:01go into premature left?
21:04I coldly pushed him away,
21:05my gaze falling
21:06on the glaring,
21:07ambiguous red marks
21:08beneath his shirt collar.
21:09I forced almost smile,
21:11K, death?
21:11Is burning some waste
21:12for Warnham a capital crime?
21:14Was it I who frightened Lillian?
21:15Or was it your excessive indulgence
21:17on your wedding night
21:17that caused her premature brekshunt?
21:19I was just...
21:20I was playing along.
21:23Lillian sacrificed too much for us
21:24and I had to give her
21:25the risk she deserved
21:26on our wedding night.
21:28Don't throw a tantrum.
21:31I promise you,
21:32this is the only time
21:33and it will never happen again.
21:35I know you don't like Lillian,
21:37but I really married her
21:38to repay a goodness.
21:40I was poisoned by Blackthorn
21:42years ago
21:42and I needed a virgin
21:43to lie with me to survive.
21:45Lillian willingly offered herself
21:47and removed the poison for me.
21:48Because of this,
21:50she lost her innocence
21:51and I had no choice
21:52but to marry her.
21:53The anger in my heart
21:54almost burned away my sanity.
21:56Her losing her innocence
21:58have to do with me.
21:59She's pitiful,
22:01but do I deserve
22:01to be left by you all
22:02to be humiliated by thugs?
22:07What nonsense are you talking about?
22:10What happened to you
22:11was fate's arrangement?
22:12What does it have to do with me?
22:13Adrian, enraged,
22:15smashed the secret
22:16in his hand onto me.
22:17The scorching liquid
22:18splashed onto my cracked wounds,
22:21making me gasp in pain.
22:22But he seemed not to notice,
22:24pointing at me and shouting,
22:26I not only have
22:27Rencho to be at the ratable,
22:28but I have her protect you
22:29against royal pressure.
22:31Not only you ungratly,
22:32but you're taking
22:33your meng out on Lillian.
22:34He looked at me
22:35with extreme disappointment.
22:36I really misjudged you.
22:38You can't even compare
22:39to a single strand
22:40of Lillian's hair.
22:41I used to dole on you
22:41and neglected her,
22:42yet she never complained.
22:43She would even give her life for me.
22:45What about you?
22:46When I was poisoned
22:47and close to death,
22:48where were you?
22:49Even now,
22:49you're still so selfish
22:50and malicious.
22:52Adrian,
22:53you sicken me.
22:54You ask where I was
22:55when you were poisoned?
22:57Why don't you use your brain
22:58and think,
22:58why did I also disappear
22:59into thin air
22:59during those three months
23:00you were detoxiting?
23:01Where was I for those three months?
23:03If you had only sent someone
23:04to check the monastery,
23:05you would know the truth.
23:07Are you trying to say
23:09that the person back then
23:10who saved me back then
23:11you went to the monastery
23:12to ram the tunnel
23:13to send from from her?
23:14Do you think I'd believe
23:15such an absurd lie?
23:20I turned my face away.
23:21You only ever believe
23:23what you want to believe.
23:25What more is there to explain?
23:28Adrian's face was dark.
23:29He kicked over
23:30a high-backed chair.
23:35Not long after Adrian left,
23:37Lillian walked in,
23:38wearing a sheer nightgown,
23:40deliberately exposing
23:41the love bites on her shoulders.
23:43Serafina,
23:44you are truly pathetic.
23:46Now you can only kneel
23:47like a bitch
23:48by my and Adrian's bed,
23:50bringing me foot-washing water
23:51and cleaning up
23:52the bodily fluids
23:53your loved man
23:54leaves on me.
23:56However,
23:57I've thought about it carefully
23:59and it's most reassuring
24:01if you just die completely,
24:03lest Adrian remembers you someday.
24:05I closed my eyes.
24:07Lillian giggled
24:08and clapped her hands.
24:10The heavy tower door
24:11was violently pushed open.
24:13In the cold night wind,
24:14several mercenaries,
24:16covered in grime
24:16and with lecherous eyes,
24:18entered.
24:19They were the same thugs
24:20who had tortured me
24:21at the wedding.
24:24Serve our noble lady well.
24:26Make sure she's comfortable.
24:29Little beauty,
24:31how did you like it
24:32on the altar last time?
24:34Looking at these faces
24:35that had repeatedly tortured me
24:37in my nightmares,
24:37I couldn't stop myself
24:39from screaming in terror.
24:42Get away!
24:43Don't touch me!
24:44I desperately shrank
24:45back into the corner
24:46of the bed,
24:47but they roughly grabbed
24:48my heavily injured leg
24:49and dragged me back.
24:51Lillian,
24:52please let me go.
24:54I swear I will leave
24:56the cap of it all forever,
24:58never appear before you again
25:00and absolutely never compete
25:02with you for Adrian.
25:03Suddenly,
25:05Who's making a racket
25:06in the tower?
25:08It was Rowan
25:09and Adrian's voices.
25:12A final,
25:13strong will to survive
25:15erupted in my heart.
25:16Before I could make a sound,
25:17Lillian had already
25:18torn open her own clothes,
25:20crying bitterly
25:21and stumbled into the arms
25:22of the two men
25:23who had rushed in.
25:26I kindly came to bring medicine
25:28for her wounds,
25:29but who knew she was
25:30secretly hiding these villains,
25:31wanting them to insult me?
25:33She said if I were also
25:35defiled by thugs,
25:36She said if I were also
25:36defiled by thugs,
25:37You definitely despise me
25:38just as you despise her.
25:40Rowan was furious
25:41to the extreme.
25:42Are you insane?
25:44He actually drew
25:45his broadsword
25:46and smashed it heavily
25:47onto my back.
25:48How dare you conspire
25:49to harm Lillian?
25:50You deserve to die!
25:51I spat out
25:51a large mouthful of blood
25:53mixed with fragments
25:54of internal organs
25:55and the whole world spun.
25:57I even worried
25:58that you were heartbroken
25:59from being abandoned
26:00by your parents
26:00and specifically called
26:02Rowan to accompany you.
26:03I never expected
26:04you to dare harm Lillian.
26:06I never expected you
26:06to dare harm Lillian.
26:06She's carrying my child.
26:08You inherently vicious wretch.
26:10You should have gone to hell
26:11long ago.
26:12No matter what,
26:13Lillian is the woman
26:14we love most.
26:15As for you,
26:16you deserve to be played
26:17with to death
26:18by these lowly thugs.
26:19Whatever she told you
26:20to do to Lillian,
26:21return it to her twofold.
26:22If she doesn't die tonight,
26:23I'll cut off your heads
26:24to first piece, Lillian.
26:27With that,
26:28he scooped up
26:29the weeping Lillian
26:29and strode away
26:30in a hurry.
26:32Rowan coldly
26:32looked down at me.
26:33I desperately reached out
26:35my bloody hand,
26:36trying to grab his cloak
26:37for help,
26:37but he recoiled in disgust,
26:39drew his sharp longsword,
26:40and with a swift motion,
26:41over a minute.
26:42No.
