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