00:00At the witch gathering, the coven bell, Adeline, grabbed my husband's arm.
00:04Fiona, I'm taking your husband.
00:08Dissolve your covenant.
00:10Logan pulled her closer.
00:12Just name your price, sweetheart.
00:14Around us, the other witches whispered and snickered.
00:17Look at her, showing up with a cat cart while everyone else has shadow stings.
00:20No wonder he's leaving.
00:21Instead of getting angry, I laughed.
00:24You'd better think carefully.
00:26Breaking a covenant with me comes at a price.
00:31Adeline looked me up and down and smirked.
00:33Well, well, look who's learned to talk tough.
00:38Take those.
00:39Consider them payment for all the years you've been watching over Logan.
00:43Sweetheart, it's better for everyone this way.
00:46My husband smirked.
00:47I couldn't believe I took a day off from the shadow council for this.
00:51I looked at her coldly.
00:52Adeline, do you know what the witch's code says about stealing someone else's husband while a covenant is still active?
00:57You'd better think carefully.
00:58Breaking a covenant with me comes at a price.
01:01She let out a dismissive laugh.
01:04Consequences?
01:05Ask around what name I carry in the shadow council.
01:08But none of them knew I was the primordial witch's personal guardian.
01:12Even the shadow council answers to me, watching them hold hands.
01:16I let out a cold laugh.
01:18So the two of you plan this all along?
01:25That's nonsense!
01:27Adeline and I are true loves!
01:29If she hadn't been forced to go abroad to study dark curses, we would have been together all along.
01:35I was utterly stunned.
01:37Everyone at the Covent training ground knew she had been the one to dump Logan.
01:41Now he was rewriting history?
01:43I didn't know why they had gotten back together.
01:46But at this moment, the magic covenant between Logan and Mai was still active.
01:50Logan, do you have any idea what the penalty is for covenant betrayal?
01:53Enough with the threats.
01:54You're just upset because there aren't enough mana crystals.
01:58Name your price.
01:59I have more than enough mana crystals.
02:02Watching this once glorious coven bell, now reduced to proving herself by stealing someone else's husband.
02:08I felt nothing but indifference.
02:15Adeline, let me remind you.
02:17If Logan agrees to dissolve the covenant today, both of you will face the witch court.
02:21Stop trying to scare us!
02:23What could you possibly do?
02:24Ever since we made the covenant, we've barely seen each other.
02:27Who knows what you've been up to?
02:29To be honest, if you hadn't chased me back then, you wouldn't have gotten a single mana crystal.
02:33If it weren't for my special status, I would have slapped him.
02:37Logan's words drew last bits in the crowd.
02:40See?
02:41They always say your power and status determine your partner.
02:44Someone like Fiona, with no background and no presence, was destined to lose her husband.
02:49Right?
02:50Dressed so shabbily, and she dares to show up here.
02:57When it comes to wealth and influence, Adeline's family is generous, and they have the shadow council backing them.
03:04Everyone was fawning over the former coven bell.
03:07Not a single person spoke up for me.
03:10In their eyes, I was nothing but a clown for their entertainment.
03:14Ignoring their mockery, I turned to leave.
03:17But before I could stand, a hand pressed down on my shoulder.
03:25Trying to leave?
03:26Did I say you could?
03:28Fiona, you have two choices today.
03:30Take the mana crystals and dissolve the covenant, or I'll curse you until you agree.
03:34Think carefully, and choose one.
03:36Are you sure you want me to choose?
03:38Of course.
03:40As long as you dissolve the covenant, I promise you'll have an easy life after this.
03:45Suppressing the anger inside me, I spoke slowly.
03:48I can dissolve the covenant, and I don't want your mana crystals.
03:53But, you need to let me use my magic mirror first, because dissolving the covenant isn't my decision alone.
04:06You really think you're someone important, don't you?
04:09Giving you a choice is a courtesy, not a negotiation.
04:13No matter who you call, you're dissolving the covenant today.
04:16Got it?
04:17I heard the threat in her voice, but didn't care.
04:20I almost found it amusing.
04:22I already said, I agree to dissolve the covenant.
04:26But this needs approval from above.
04:29I can't decide on my own.
04:31Darling, we're magnanimous.
04:34Don't stoop to her level.
04:35Let her use her mirror.
04:39Fiona, don't say I didn't warn you.
04:42No matter who you call, I'm dissolving this covenant today.
04:46I believed I had been a good coven partner to Logan after we made our covenant.
04:50I handed over my share of mana crystals every month, without fail.
04:55He never worked, never did any chores.
04:58He spent his days shopping at the dark market, or playing witch cards.
05:03At this moment, every last bit of feeling I had for him vanished.
05:08Logan, don't flatter yourself.
05:10I never intended to persuade you, I just find you disgusting.
05:12But you and Adeline, I hope after this communication you don't regret it.
05:17Because by then, no one will be able to save you.
05:22I thought about giving her one last friendly warning.
05:25But some people just don't know when to quit.
05:28Like this coven bell, Adeline.
05:31Fiona, still putting on airs in front of me?
05:34Who do you think will regret anything?
05:37A deadline started to say more.
05:39But I raised my hand to stop her.
05:41Enough.
05:41I've heard everything I need to hear.
05:45Then I took out my magic mirror and contacted my superior.
05:49Speaker, it's Fiona.
05:52A low chuckle came from the other end of the mirror.
05:56Fiona?
05:57Why are you contacting me at this hour?
06:00Speaker, I have a situation to report.
06:03I briefly explained how Adeline was forcing me to dissolve my covenant at the gathering.
06:09As soon as I finished, I heard the sound of a crystal glass shattering on the other end.
06:14Who dares to force you to dissolve a covenant?
06:20Adeline snatched the magic mirror from my hands.
06:24You listen to me.
06:25I don't care what your relationship is with Fiona.
06:28I want her husband.
06:29And no one is going to stop me.
06:31You'd better mind your own business or you'll pay the price.
06:35Are you the one forcing Fiona to dissolve her covenant?
06:38Adeline still had no idea who she was talking to.
06:41She remained as arrogant as ever.
06:44That's right.
06:44It's me.
06:45Look anywhere across the Shadow Council's domain.
06:48Anything Adeline wants, Adeline gets.
06:50A man is nothing.
06:51He's mine.
06:52Who's going to stop me?
06:54With that, she threw the magic mirror to the ground and stomped on it several times.
07:01I had never seen such audacity.
07:06Now that you've made your call, it's time to keep your promise.
07:11You'd better think carefully.
07:15Logan, with one arm still around Adeline,
07:18clicked open a scroll of parchment with his other hand.
07:22The sheet unfurled on its own and hovered in front of me.
07:26I've prepared the covenant dissolution scroll.
07:28Just imprint your true name.
07:32Looking at the hovering parchment, covered thick with covenant runes,
07:36I confirmed my suspicion.
07:38Logan had been unfaithful for a long time.
07:41I bit my fingertip and let a drop of blood fall onto the parchment.
07:46My true name blazed onto the scroll in dark red flames.
07:50Then I gave it a light push.
07:53Logan stared at me in shock.
07:56Fiona, what are you doing?
07:58I looked up at him, my voice ice cold.
08:01What does it look like?
08:03Isn't this what you've wanted all along?
08:11Now you've gotten your wish.
08:13I've imprinted my true name and you're still blaming me?
08:17Just imprint yours already, before Adeline loses interest in you too.
08:22Logan's face turned crimson with rage.
08:25Fine.
08:25I'll imprint.
08:26It's not like I need you.
08:28He bit his thumb and pressed his blood onto the parchment.
08:32The moment his true name burned onto the scroll,
08:35the covenant runes flickered violently once.
08:38Then went dark.
08:39The covenant was officially dissolved.
08:42Just like that, our five-year magic covenant came to an end.
08:46The moment the last trace of light faded,
08:49Adeline's face changed completely.
08:51Her eyes narrowed.
08:52Her expression darkening.
08:54You were the one who reported me to the Elder Council
08:57and got me expelled, weren't you?
09:01If it weren't for you, my father wouldn't have sent me overseas.
09:04Logan wouldn't have been forced to make a covenant with you.
09:07Fiona, do you know?
09:08I spent three full years abroad
09:11thinking every single day about coming back
09:13and getting revenge on the informant
09:14until Logan told me the truth.
09:18Fiona!
09:19I've been waiting for this day for so long!
09:22Even as Adeline raged with unchecked arrogance,
09:25I kept a faint smile on my face.
09:28You're right, I reported you,
09:30but I don't think I was wrong.
09:32Back at the Coven training ground,
09:33you bullied the weak, cursed people,
09:36even broke someone's leg.
09:38People like you, I'd report you every single time.
09:44Adeline's face twisted with fury.
09:46I admire your nerve.
09:49Fiona,
09:50do you know why I called you back here today?
09:53This was never a Covenmates gathering.
09:55I came back for revenge.
09:58Adeline snapped her fingers.
10:00A dozen burly black-robed witches
10:03burst into the private room.
10:05They joined hands,
10:06forming a magic circle
10:07and began chanting low incantations.
10:11Dark green energy gathered in their palms,
10:13ready to strike.
10:14I leaned back in my chair,
10:16tapping my fingers on the table.
10:19Adeline,
10:19this is your last chance.
10:22Think carefully.
10:23If you touch me today,
10:25you won't be able to handle the consequences.
10:27Even if you have the entire Blackwood family packing you.
10:34The sycophants around us burst into laughter.
10:37Did you hear that?
10:39Fiona thinks the Blackwood family wouldn't dare touch her.
10:42My former Covenmates immediately took sides,
10:45tripping over themselves to attack me
10:48and curry favor with Adeline.
10:50Logan joined in.
10:51Fiona,
10:52take a look in the mirror
10:53and see what you are.
10:55Anyone in this room could put you in your place.
10:58I took a deep breath
10:59and slowly removed the Covenant ring from my finger.
11:02Logan,
11:03from now on,
11:04we have nothing to do with each other.
11:07As for Adeline,
11:08she'll pay for what she's done today.
11:11Adeline sneered.
11:13Me?
11:13Hey?
11:14Here.
11:14I'm the one in charge.
11:17Even if I turn you into a toad,
11:19no one would dare touch me.
11:23Seeing me silent,
11:25Adeline thought I was afraid.
11:27She grew even bolder.
11:29Stupid woman.
11:31Either get on your knees
11:33and apologize in front of all your Covenmates
11:35and we'll call it even.
11:36Or I'll break your legs
11:37and make you crawl out of here.
11:39My eyes turned cold.
11:41Adeline,
11:42you've crossed the line too many times.
11:44Instead of backing down,
11:46Adeline got even more arrogant.
11:48Look at the witches behind me.
11:51Any one of them could curse you to the ground.
11:54Stop pretending.
11:56Even if the Shadow Council's Elder herself showed up,
11:59you'd still have to kneel.
12:01Just then,
12:02the door opened
12:02and a tall, sturdy woman walked in.
12:06Adeline quickly straightened her robes
12:08and rushed over.
12:09Lady Deep,
12:11what brings you here?
12:15Hearing that name,
12:17everyone in the room turned pale.
12:19Logan shrank into a corner.
12:21I remained seated,
12:22my fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.
12:26Lady Deep scanned the room
12:27and everyone fell silent.
12:29She spoke slowly.
12:31Whose cat carriage is that outside?
12:34All eyes turned to me.
12:35Adeline looked like she wanted to tear me apart.
12:39Fiona, are you deaf?
12:41Lady Deep is talking to you.
12:43How dare you sit there unmoving?
12:45I took a sip of elderberry wine
12:48and smiled faintly.
12:50Deep,
12:51it's only been a year
12:52and now you're Lady Deep?
12:54Before I could respond,
12:56Lady Deep rushed to my side,
12:57placed her right hand over her heart
13:00and gave a slight bow.
13:02Fiona,
13:03what are you doing here?
13:05Aren't you supposed to be with the primordial witch?
13:07I raised my hand to stop her.
13:09Go home
13:09and copy the witch's code a hundred times.
13:14Everyone was stunned.
13:19As everyone whispered among themselves,
13:22a trembling Adeline found the courage to speak.
13:25Lady Deep,
13:26what brings you here?
13:28Deep didn't even acknowledge her.
13:30She stood straight behind me.
13:32I have to be passing by
13:33and saw a familiar carriage outside,
13:35so I came in to check.
13:37Before Adeline could finish,
13:39Deep cut her off impatiently.
13:41Don't flatter yourself.
13:42I'm here for the owner of that cat carriage.
13:46The room exploded.
13:47Everyone knew whose carriage it was.
13:49They had all wronged me moments ago
13:51and I could see their expressions
13:53shift from contempt to fear.
13:55Even Adeline's forehead was beaded with sweat.
13:58Do you have any idea how important that carriage is?
14:01Enough, Deep.
14:02Stand down.
14:07Don't think that just because you have Lady Deep backing you,
14:09you can walk all over me.
14:10The Blackwood family's position in the Shadow Council is no joke.
14:13I couldn't be bothered to argue anymore.
14:15I pushed my magic mirror toward her.
14:19Adeline quickly made three mirror communications,
14:21then regained her smug posture.
14:25Exactly 15 minutes.
14:26Now it's my turn to call the shots.
14:31Fiona, how are you?
14:33Are you all right?
14:35Primorial Witch, don't worry.
14:36Everything is fine.
14:37However, it seems they're not too keen
14:39on letting me leave here unharmed.
14:43Oh, Fiona, what kind of act are you putting on?
14:47Logan just told me everything.
14:49Your parents are just ordinary witches.
14:51How do you think you can compete with me?
14:53I smiled.
14:54Who said I needed anyone else to solve my problems?
14:57Just then, a procession of carriages,
15:00flying crimson banners, raced toward the oak grove.
15:03Adeline spun around, her face a mask of disbelief.
15:07You're with the Primorial Witch?
15:09Deep, who had been silent all this time.
15:11Fiona's the Primorial Witch's personal guardian.
15:14Even the Shadow Council answers to her.
15:16The room fell silent.
15:18Adeline collapsed onto the floor.
15:20Logan knelt before me, tears in his eyes.
15:23I raised my glass and spoke slowly.
15:26Everyone listen.
15:28After this drink,
15:30we are no longer coven mates.
15:32ольно put it all over,
15:34almost more covenee.
15:36We are no longer siblingимся.
