00:00I finally healed his tail. For 49 days, I carved open my chest and fed him my blood drop by
00:06drop.
00:06I risked my life fighting sea beasts, collecting their cores just to make him stronger.
00:11I turned him into the Siren King. He married me, but he was always cold to me.
00:15I thought it was just his nature, until my sister got hurt. That's when he buried a dagger in my
00:20chest.
00:21If it weren't for you, she would have chosen me! You tore us apart! Now you're gonna pay for it!
00:26I died knowing the truth. He had always loved my sister. I opened my eyes. I was back at the
00:31Siren
00:32auction. This time, I skipped the broken Siren and made a different choice. Without my blood,
00:37I couldn't wait to see how long they'd last. It was the same auction all over again. For generations,
00:43every Ashford daughter who came of age was required to choose a Siren and bind her blood to his. From
00:47that moment on, our lives were bound together for good. Dozens of Sirens were locked in crystal cages.
00:52Most had glowing tails that drifted through the water like silk, but one curled up in the darkest
00:58corner. His scales were falling away. My sister Serena walked over. Just like in my last life,
01:03she casually gestured toward the crystal cage. Lyra, just pick those two already. Make up your
01:08mind or the best ones will be gone. In my last life, I fell for her act. I thought she
01:13wouldn't
01:13dump the weakest one on me, but she pushed Dorian onto me and claimed the strongest Siren for herself.
01:18Not this time. I wouldn't be her fool again. Pick your own, Serena. I want that one. I pointed to
01:26an
01:26expressionless Siren with a pitch black tail. I called out my bid without a second thought. It didn't
01:31matter who I picked. I turned a worthless Siren into a king once before. Any of them here was better
01:35than him. This time, I just wanted a loyal one. Serena's face fell. Lyra! You bid way too much.
01:43Father only gave us so much gold to spend. If you spend it all, what am I supposed to do?
01:47I shot her a flat look. How did I not see through her in my last life? She tried so
01:52hard to push a
01:53weakling onto me. She was terrified I'd surpass her in the family. She started plotting the moment we
01:58walked in. So I pointed at Dorian. He was thrashing inside his crystal cage for attention.
02:03That one doesn't look too bad. With the right training, he might be useful. If you can't afford a
02:07better one, just take him. Serena scoffed and pointed straight at Dorian. Him? I wouldn't even
02:13keep him as a slave. I smirked. Poor Dorian. In my last life, he really thought I'd come between them.
02:18Little did he know the truth. Serena never wanted him. Just like in my last life, Serena chose the
02:24strongest Siren in the end. She chose Jasper. I turned to leave with my new Siren Kyle. Suddenly,
02:30a violent crash echoed from a crystal cage. Dorian was throwing himself against the door of his cage.
02:35His scales were peeling away. His tail was badly damaged. But he kept hurling himself at the cage
02:40like a mad beast. The crowd began to mock him. What? Is he trying to get noticed? He's a total
02:46wreck.
02:46Only an idiot would choose him. I watched Dorian struggle in desperation. Then I noticed Serena
02:51glancing back at him. I frowned. Wait. Had Dorian been reborn too? He was making a scene. It had to
02:57be
02:57because his precious Serena didn't pick him. I looked into his broken blue eyes. I just smiled. His
03:02delusions were completely shattered. That had to hurt like hell. This time, I didn't bring Dorian
03:08back so I avoided Father's blow-up. Back at the Ashford Estate, Kyle stood before me. His tail kept
03:14lashing against the floor. Can you take human form now? Kyle pressed his lips together and tucked his
03:18tail out of sight. Unlike the other Sirens, he didn't seem pleased to be chosen. I looked closer.
03:23His blue eyes were icy and defiant. You didn't want to come with me? Kyle shot me a cold look
03:29and said
03:30nothing. I know the rules in those crystal cages. There's a brutal hierarchy. Unchosen Sirens end
03:35up killing each other to survive. But here, I can protect you. Kyle took the chair farthest from me.
03:40I'm not that pathetic wreck with the ruined tail. I just smiled at that. He wasn't wrong. Among
03:46Sirens, a ruined tail meant you were worthless. If you don't want to stay, you can leave right now.
03:52A spark lit up in his blue eyes. I could tell he was tempted. I stood up before he could
03:57answer.
03:58What are you doing? You don't want to stay. So I will choose another Siren. I am going to make
04:04a
04:04Siren King. I won't tolerate disloyalty. From the corner of my eye, I saw him freeze.
04:09Every Siren dreamed of becoming the Siren King. He had real power, and raw power could be honed.
04:14Disloyal beasts like Dorian were worthless to me. It was better to get rid of them from the start.
04:19The auction is already over! I turned back and smiled at him.
04:22Do you really think a family that can afford Sirens runs out of options?
04:29I haven't left yet!
04:31Dorian hit the ground hard. He tried to get up, but kept collapsing. I let out a fake gasp.
04:36Why so rough? I thought you were leaving. Why stop me from choosing another Siren?
04:42Kyle's fists clenched tight at his sides.
04:44I'm staying.
04:45A slow smile curled my lips. Sirens were wild. They had to learn obedience.
04:49He took the first step. Naturally, I obliged. As for Dorian, he finally dragged himself back up and
04:56tried to crawl toward me. Lyra, you just said you'd take me home.
05:00I laid a hand on Kyle's shoulder. Then I gave Dorian a sweet mocking wave.
05:06Sorry, I changed my mind.
05:08Dorian opened his mouth to speak and took a step forward. Kyle's tail slammed down at his feet.
05:14Take one more step, and I'll snap your spine.
05:17Kyle lifted his tail. I stared at the cracked stones. There was no comparison. Kyle completely outclassed Dorian.
05:26I would never let myself be betrayed again, so I initiated the blood bond ritual with Kyle.
05:32Can you really make me the Siren King?
05:34I didn't answer him. As his master, I needed absolute control.
05:38In my last life, I poured everything into making Dorian the Siren King.
05:43I forgot that my own power mattered most.
05:45If Kyle stayed obedient, the title would be his.
05:49If he showed any disloyalty, he'd be nothing but my possession.
05:52Walk away if you don't want this.
05:54I turned to leave, but only made it one step.
05:58Kyle cut open his tail and let his blood drip onto the bond stone.
06:02I accept.
06:03The bond was sealed. Kyle stood stiffly at my side.
06:07From this moment on, you are my master.
06:09A faint flush spread across his neck. He was unexpectedly adorable.
06:13I jerked my chin toward the bed. I only meant to tease him.
06:17Get on the bed.
06:26His face grew even redder. He eased himself onto the bed, keeping his bleeding tail off the sheets.
06:33What are you doing?
06:35I almost laughed. Was all that bravado just a bluff?
06:38I reached out and deliberately stroked his tail.
06:41You know how things work in the Ashfield family. We bring a Siren home and a marriage bond is formed.
06:45By tradition, you are my mate now.
06:48Kyle stayed silent, but his tail shivered the moment I touched him.
06:52Our eyes locked. He swallowed hard, squeezing his eyes shut like he was bracing for sweet torture.
06:57I let out a soft chuckle.
06:59I turned and picked up a healing potion. His eyes were still shut.
07:03I gently blew on his bleeding wound.
07:05Does it hurt?
07:06Kyle's tail swayed uncontrollably. That was how Siren showed pleasure.
07:10I applied the potion. I wrapped it with a bandage and tied a cute little bow.
07:14Then I sat back in my chair.
07:16Keep it dry for a few days, and it'll heal soon.
07:19Feeling better?
07:20His face was still flushed.
07:21He shot me a quick glance, then stubbornly looked away again.
07:25You didn't have to do that.
07:27A little scratch like this heals in minutes.
07:29Then why was his tail still moving on its own?
07:32Once Kyle's tail healed, we trained day after day.
07:35But this life was different.
07:37I trained in combat magic myself.
07:39A Siren King's mate couldn't be weak.
07:42We had barely started when Serena barged in.
07:44She brought her Siren, Jasper.
07:46Playing sparring partner now, Lyra?
07:48You took forever at the auction.
07:49I thought you picked a real prize in.
07:51But looking at him, he's nothing special.
07:53I stopped my training.
07:54I looked at Serena and Jasper.
07:56Jasper was massive, but in my last life he amounted to nothing.
08:00Serena knew absolutely nothing about taming sirens.
08:03After the blood bonds, father put me in charge of the family.
08:05I kept quiet, but Kyle stepped right in front of me.
08:09You dare challenge me, Siren?
08:10I am the eldest Ashford daughter.
08:12I am the future head of this house.
08:14Jasper, put him in his place.
08:16Jasper took the order.
08:17He lunged straight at us.
08:19Kyle didn't even flinch.
08:20He calmly pushed me to a safe distance, then stepped into the fight.
08:23It was perfect timing.
08:25I wanted to see Kyle's real power anyway.
08:27They clashed violently.
08:29After just a few strikes, Jasper was clearly losing.
08:32Serena's smug smile completely vanished.
08:34She started screaming from the sidelines.
08:36Kill him!
08:37Tear him apart!
08:38What are you doing?
08:39Kill him!
08:41Jasper didn't stand a chance.
08:43Kyle started going for the kill with every strike.
08:45Kyle was about to snap Jasper's tail in half.
08:48Serena let out a piercing scream.
08:50How dare you!
08:51Control your beast, Lyra!
08:53How dare he lay a hand on my siren!
08:55I just laughed.
08:56Didn't you order Jasper to attack first?
08:58You screamed at him to kill Kyle.
09:00Every servant in this estate can testify to that.
09:03If Jasper gets hurt, I will have father punish you!
09:08Do you know how much gold I spent on him?
09:10We locked eyes for a moment.
09:11Then I told Kyle to let him go.
09:13Serena scoffed.
09:15Smart choice.
09:16I am the eldest.
09:17Know your place.
09:18You'll never be the one to lead this family.
09:20With that, Serena spun around.
09:22She stormed off with Jasper.
09:24Kyle looked furious.
09:26I should have killed him!
09:27I watched them walk away.
09:29I muttered.
09:30Why rush?
09:31Serena's pride had just taken a crushing blow.
09:33By now, she must have hated me to the bone.
09:35She would make her move soon.
09:37To completely destroy someone, you had to drive them mad first.
09:42Serena started targeting me at every turn.
09:45I thought she would just badmouth me to father.
09:47I didn't expect her to bring Dorian into the estate.
09:50When Dorian suddenly blocked my path, I was caught off guard.
09:54What are you doing here?
09:55Serena walked out from the end of the hall with a smirk.
09:57Father was right behind her.
09:59So the rumors outside are true.
10:01What rumors?
10:02Father had a dark look on his face.
10:04Lyra, you already chose a syrin for your blood bond.
10:07Why are you still involved with this one?
10:09You are lucky your sister found him today.
10:12We had to bring him back to shut him up.
10:14Otherwise, he would have ruined the Ashfield name.
10:16Serena walked up to me, gloating.
10:18She used her finger to lift Dorian's chin.
10:21Little sister, he was begging outside just to get into the Ashford estate.
10:24He was desperate to be by your side.
10:26If you two were having a secret affair, you should have just said so.
10:29Why didn't you just take him at the auction?
10:31Even before picking Kyle.
10:33The more Serena spoke, the darker father's face became.
10:36Lyra, if you can't clean up this mess, you will be cast out of this family.
10:40With that, father turned and left.
10:42Serena flashed me a wicked smile.
10:44Have fun cleaning this up, little sister.
10:46Dorian was half-kneeling on the floor, looking up at me.
10:49His eyes were full of pure desperation.
10:52You want to stay by my side so badly?
10:55Fine, you can stay.
10:56Instead of kicking him out, it was better to keep him right under my nose.
11:00In this life, without my heart's blood, Dorian would barely even survive.
11:07Dorian started hovering around me all day.
11:09Kyle had been avoiding me lately.
11:11The other day, I cornered him at the entrance to the training grounds.
11:14Kyle pulled away with a scowl on his face.
11:17You're still looking for me?
11:19Shouldn't you be with that pathetic Dorian right now?
11:22That little act you two put on in the street?
11:24That was just a trick to force me to submit to you, wasn't it?
11:28Kyle puffed his cheeks in anger.
11:30His tail slapped the stone floor restlessly.
11:32I watched him with amusement.
11:34You already submitted.
11:35You can't run away now.
11:37So, do you still want to be the Siren King or not?
11:40Kyle gave me a flat look.
11:41He clearly thought I was lying to him.
11:43There is a Siren tournament in two months.
11:46Whether you become the Siren King or not, it is all up to you.
11:49He stayed totally silent.
11:51I had no choice but to explain the whole situation to him.
11:54Really?
11:55You and that Siren really have nothing going on?
11:57I was practically ready to swear an oath.
11:59Kyle finally gave a proud little scoff.
12:01He went back to training with me.
12:03We trained day after day on the Ashford grounds.
12:05Dorian walked by every now and then, pretending to be busy.
12:08I am going to snap his tail in half.
12:11Let's see how he walks after that.
12:12I stopped him.
12:13Kyle, I have my own plans.
12:16I fed him so much of my heart's blood in my last life.
12:19It couldn't go to waste.
12:21He was practically throwing himself at my door.
12:23He couldn't blame me for being ruthless now.
12:28That night, I called Dorian into my room.
12:30The Siren King in my last life was now kneeling at my feet, holding a wash basin.
12:35His severe wounds left him swaying weakly.
12:37Are you not feeling well?
12:39I asked casually.
12:40The once-in-a-decade Siren Tournament was right around the corner.
12:43Dorian had to be dying of anxiety right now.
12:45In my last life, he became the Siren King with my help.
12:48How could someone who had once stood at the top be content to live as a servant?
12:52So even just from my heart's blood, he would definitely endure it.
12:56Dorian slumped weakly onto the floor.
12:58My tail was injured in the crystal cages.
13:00It just won't heal.
13:02Then how can it be healed?
13:03The Ashford family has no use for the worthless.
13:05Dorian looked at me with hurt in his eyes.
13:07He spoke tentatively.
13:09I need human heart's blood.
13:10Consumed over, be fully healed.
13:12I said nothing.
13:13Today, he was nothing but the lowest slave.
13:15Seeing no reaction from me, he let out two weak coughs.
13:19I know my place.
13:20In this life, I only wish to stay by your side.
13:22I wouldn't dare dream of your heart's blood.
13:25Why must you stay by my side?
13:26Dorian pressed his lips together and stared at me.
13:29It was like he was searching my face for any sign of a lie.
13:32But my face was full of pure sincerity.
13:34There was no way I would let him see through me.
13:37After confirming I wasn't playing dumb, Dorian shook his head with a sorrowful look.
13:42It seems you truly don't remember me, Lyra.
13:44You saved me once.
13:45A siren always repays a cutness.
13:47That's why I insisted on staying by your side.
13:49Even if you and Kyle are already mates, as long as I can see you every day, I will do
13:54anything you ask.
13:55I dug my nails into my palms just to stop myself from slapping him across the face.
13:59Repay the kindness?
14:01He was a treacherous beast who used my trust to take a vicious bite out of me.
14:05And he said it with so much emotion.
14:07If I didn't have the memories of my previous life, I probably would have fallen for it.
14:12I pretended to be completely moved by his devotion.
14:1549 days of heart's blood and you will be fully healed?
14:20Dorian's eyes lit up.
14:21His excitement nearly gave him away, but I could tell he was fighting to hide it.
14:25Yes.
14:26But Lyra, extracting your heart's blood is incredibly painful.
14:29I paused for a moment, putting on a serious face.
14:32I can save you.
14:33But once you recover, you have to leave me alone.
14:36A flash of surprise and hurt crossed his eyes, but he quickly agreed.
14:40Okay.
14:41I will leave you alone.
14:42The moment he looked down, I clearly saw him smirk.
14:45I smiled to myself.
14:47Did he really think getting my heart's blood would be that easy?
14:51For the next few days, I had Kyle buy fresh deer blood from the local hunters.
14:56Watering it down masked the scent.
14:58To keep Dorian from getting suspicious, I mixed in some healing herbs.
15:02He needed to see some actual results to fall for it.
15:06Dorian gulped down bowl after bowl.
15:08He winced every single time.
15:10Lyra, why does this heart's blood taste a little off?
15:17I feigned hurt.
15:18Of course blood doesn't taste good.
15:20I cut my own chest open to save your life.
15:23If you think it tastes bad, I'll just pour it out.
15:26Dorian didn't dare complain.
15:27He practically licked the bowl clean.
15:30Lyra, I will never forget this.
15:33If only I were the Siren you chose, then I could stay by your side and repay you forever.
15:37I forced a troubled frown.
15:39Just letting you stay in the estate is already causing enough trouble for me.
15:42You heard what father and my sister said the other day.
15:45I watched him from the corner of my eye as I spoke.
15:48When I mentioned Serena, there wasn't a single trace of affection in his eyes.
15:52Instead, there was pure hatred.
15:55I had no idea what happened after I died in my previous life.
15:59But by the looks of it, his life as the Siren King hadn't ended well either.
16:04But I can't blame you.
16:05My sister has hated me since we were kids.
16:07She's just using you to humiliate me.
16:10Dorian's hand instinctively clenched on the table.
16:13Looking at his tight jaw, I knew I had guessed right.
16:16Don't worry, Lyra.
16:17I won't be a problem for you.
16:19Good.
16:20But in this life, he wasn't even worthy of being my problem.
16:25Dorian hadn't been hovering around me much lately.
16:28Instead, he was making frequent trips to Serena's side of the estate.
16:31I knew he took my words to heart.
16:33Letting him do my dirty work was the least he could do to pay for his sins in his previous
16:38life.
16:38To keep Dorian from getting suspicious, Kyle and I had been training in my bedroom at night.
16:43You need to be faster.
16:45The Sirens in the arena will be out for blood.
16:47If you're not fast enough, you won't leave that arena alive.
16:50I finished speaking and waved Kyle over.
16:52Come here.
16:53I'll spar with you.
16:54Kyle chuckled.
16:55He clearly wasn't taking me seriously.
16:57Get over here!
16:57Before the words even left my mouth, Kyle closed the distance in a split second.
17:02He moved so fast, I couldn't even see how he did it.
17:05How did you-
17:06Before I could finish, Kyle was already attacking.
17:08I barely dodged his first two strikes.
17:11Then I lost my footing and fell backward.
17:13Kyle gasped and grabbed my waist to catch me.
17:15I suspected he did it on purpose.
17:17He intentionally fell onto the bed with me.
17:20Pinned beneath him, my heart pounded out of control.
17:22Kyle, get up.
17:23It's getting late.
17:24You should head back.
17:25His blue eyes flickered.
17:26Without a word, he pinned my wrists right above my head.
17:32Why is Dorian allowed in here at night but I'm not?
17:36He found out about Dorian coming every night to drink the dear blood after all.
17:41Dorian is here for something important.
17:44Kyle refused to get off me.
17:46His scalding breath brushed against my neck.
17:48Suddenly, his tail wrapped around the bed curtains and pulled them shut.
17:53Master, you said it yourself.
17:55Since the bond, I am your mate.
17:58Even when my legs turned to jelly, Kyle kept whispering in my ear, demanding to know who I wanted him
18:03or Dorian.
18:04I mumbled some nonsense back, but all I could think was how ridiculously good this siren's stamina was.
18:12A month later, Jasper's tail suddenly went completely limp.
18:15He couldn't even stand anymore.
18:17Serena went completely crazy in the estate.
18:19You were perfectly fine.
18:20Why is this happening?
18:22Jasper, did you eat something poisonous?
18:24If you can't even stand, how are you supposed to fight in the siren tournament?
18:27How are you supposed to win the title of searing king for me?
18:29Jasper lay on the bed, looking deathly pale.
18:32Father, please find someone to heal Jasper.
18:35The tournament is right around the corner.
18:36I have poured so much into him.
18:38A potion master specializing in sirens arrived.
18:42He examined Jasper for a moment, sighed, and shook his head.
18:46The tail looks fine on the outside, but the bones inside have completely deteriorated.
18:49His bones will rot away within three days.
18:51Jasper begged the potion master like a desperate beast to save him.
18:54He thrashed so hard he rolled right off the bed.
18:57Serena just stared blankly, muttering that it was impossible.
19:00While Father stepped out to see the potion master off, Serena actually lunged at me.
19:04But with Kyle by my side, there was no way she could even touch me.
19:07Lyra!
19:08You did this, didn't you?
19:10You were jealous of my searing's power.
19:12You were terrified he would become the searing king, because then you could never outrank me.
19:17So you poisoned him.
19:18You destroyed my siren, and I will make you suffer for this.
19:21I'll kill you!
19:22Father walked back into the room the exact moment she screamed that.
19:26Enough of this nonsense.
19:27Father's harsh shout instantly silenced Serena.
19:30I spoke calmly.
19:31Serena, I have no reason to hurt your siren.
19:33Kyle is leagues above Jasper.
19:35Jasper wasn't even a threat to us.
19:37Why would I go out of my way to ruin him?
19:39Serena was about to scream again, but Father shut her down.
19:42What's done is done.
19:43You will stay confined to the estate.
19:45You are pulled from the siren tournament.
19:47As for this useless siren, you know our family rules.
19:50Get rid of him immediately!
19:52Jasper and Serena completely panicked.
19:54A siren with a ruined tail wouldn't survive a day out in the wild.
19:57And without a siren, Serena had just lost everything.
20:03When Dorian came to drink the deer blood today, he was clearly in a good mood.
20:07He looked at me, eager to please.
20:10Serena will never compete with you for anything ever again.
20:12I handed him the bowl.
20:14He was almost done with the full treatment.
20:15I had increased the potency of the herbs lately.
20:18Dorian did look much better and his wounds were completely healed.
20:21But it was all just an illusion.
20:23The herbs only masked the surface.
20:24The moment he pushed his power to the limit, his body would suffer a catastrophic backlash.
20:29When that happened, even a hundred days of heart's blood wouldn't save him.
20:33Was that your doing?
20:34I feigned surprise, even adding a touch of admiration to my eyes.
20:38How did you do it?
20:39How did you make him turn out like that?
20:41To repay you.
20:42There is nothing I wouldn't do.
20:44I turned my head away and sneered.
20:45The only reason he knew so much was because he had been the Siren King in my last life.
20:50His body was weak, but he still knew every dirty trick in the book.
20:54After gulping down the blood, he licked his lips greedily.
20:57His beautiful tail swayed behind him, as if he was showing off.
21:01Once he left, Kyle stepped out from the shadows.
21:04He looked deeply displeased.
21:05Lyra, he is scum.
21:06Why are you helping him?
21:08I stared at the blood-stained bowl and asked,
21:10What makes you think I am helping him?
21:12Kyle paused.
21:13I immediately followed up.
21:14The Siren Tournament is in three days.
21:17Are you confident you can win the title?
21:19Kyle grabbed the hand I had resting on his tail.
21:22Since my master wants it so badly, I will win even if it costs me my life.
21:26It was just a normal promise, but his tone made my face burn instantly.
21:30I knew exactly what the other Sirens were capable of.
21:33As long as Kyle fought like he usually did, he would be absolutely fine.
21:39On the day of the Siren Tournament, Father and Serena accompanied us to the arena.
21:44I hadn't seen Dorian in the estate since the day before yesterday.
21:47He must have gone to compete as well.
21:49Kyle, this tournament concerns the honor and status of the Ashford family.
21:54You must fight with everything you have.
21:56Father instructed in a deep voice.
21:58Serena scoffed dismissively.
21:59But for once, she didn't say a word.
22:01I cast a suspicious glance at her.
22:03Something fell off.
22:04Right before the matches began, Serena suddenly pulled a handkerchief from her pocket.
22:08She reached out to wipe the sweat off Kyle's forehead.
22:11Fortunately, Kyle never liked strangers touching him.
22:14He immediately dodged it.
22:15Serena's hand froze in midair.
22:17Little sister, look at your Siren.
22:19I was just trying to wipe his sweat.
22:21If he becomes the Siren King, it brings glory to all of us, doesn't it?
22:25How small-minded.
22:26As if she would ever be so kind.
22:28I forced a smile, snatched the handkerchief right out of her hand, and wiped it across Father's face.
22:34Hey, you stop!
22:35Seeing Serena stammering, I was even more certain there was something wrong with the handkerchief.
22:39So I wiped even harder.
22:41What's wrong?
22:41Kyle's matches are important, of course.
22:44But Father has been standing with us under the scorching sun.
22:47Wiping his sweat is the least a daughter could do.
22:50As I spoke, I had already sent Kyle toward the arena.
22:53He had trained hard for two months.
22:54I wasn't going to let anyone sabotage him at the last minute.
22:58Serena started fidgeting.
22:59She kept stealing glances at Father's reaction.
23:01When I saw him start to sway on his feet, I smiled.
23:04The handkerchief had been soaked in belladonna extract.
23:07Father, what's wrong?
23:08You were perfectly fine a moment ago.
23:09Why did you suddenly get like this right after I wiped your sweat?
23:13Serena panicked.
23:14What nonsense are you spouting?
23:15Father is just feeling unwell.
23:17Kyle, it has nothing to do with my handkerchief.
23:19Father was already too dizzy to speak.
23:21I looked at Serena with a bright smile.
23:23Whether it has anything to do with it or not, we will know once we have the potion master test
23:28it back at the estate.
23:31Now that the poison was used on Father himself, there was no way he would just turn a blind eye.
23:37Serena's goal was simple.
23:38Since her own siren was ruined, she wanted to stop Kyle from competing.
23:42But she forgot one thing.
23:43As long as it brought glory to the Ashford family, Father didn't care who earned it.
23:47Once the tournament began, Kyle easily fought his way into the final rounds.
23:52Father was passed out in his seat, but neither of us cared.
23:55When she saw Dorian standing intact in the arena, Serena's jaw completely dropped.
23:59How?
24:00Wasn't he severely injured?
24:01I thought he was dying!
24:02Why is he here?
24:03Then she seemed to realize something.
24:05If his tail healed, does that mean Jasper has a chance too?
24:08You did this, didn't you?
24:09How did you heal him?
24:10I tilted my head and looked at her.
24:13Want to know?
24:14Use your own heart's blood.
24:16Feed it to him every day for 49 days and he will be perfectly fine.
24:20I was actually giving her the real cure.
24:22But the moment Serena heard she had to hurt herself, all the color drained from her face.
24:27For a siren?
24:28Scoff.
24:29I'll just go buy another one.
24:30But Lyra, you healed this Dorian.
24:32Just to watch him fight your Kyle in the arena?
24:35Serena looked at me like I was a complete idiot.
24:38I kept my eyes fixed on the arena and didn't say a word.
24:41I had already warned Kyle before we came.
24:44If he met Dorian in the arena, he was to beat him to a bloody pulp.
24:50All that dear blood and herbs finally paid off.
24:53Dorian finally stood face to face with Kyle in the arena.
24:56Kyle rolled his shoulders and charged at him without a single word.
24:58Dorian, who had fought so fiercely against the others just moments ago, suddenly looked incredibly weak.
25:04Kyle lifted Dorian high into the air and slammed him brutally into the ground.
25:07An agonizing scream echoed through the arena.
25:10I smiled.
25:11But in my peripheral vision, Serena couldn't even force a smile anymore.
25:15Kyle, how is he so powerful?
25:17Barely moments into the match, Dorian was already struggling to get back up.
25:20I was still waiting.
25:21Waiting for him to push his power too far and spew blood across the arena floor.
25:25He struggled with all his might just to stand.
25:28But the very first thing he did when he got up was look at me in the crowd.
25:31I looked away in disgust.
25:33That fake, devoted look in his eyes was absolutely sickening.
25:37Dorian let out a deafening roar, summoning every last ounce of his strength.
25:41But just as he was about to hit Kyle with a full force strike, he suddenly clutched his chest.
25:46In the next instant, he spat out a massive mouthful of blood.
25:49Without Kyle lifting a finger, Dorian collapsed.
25:52Sister, it looks like Kyle won again.
25:54A few matches later, Kyle's title as the Siren King was absolutely secured.
25:59Across the cheering crowd, Kyle and I locked eyes.
26:02Serena was practically grinding her teeth in rage.
26:06Back at the estate, Father didn't wake up from his coma until the next day.
26:10When he learned that Kyle had won the tournament and become the Siren King,
26:13Father was absolutely thrilled.
26:15He said excellent three times in a row.
26:18It seems I can finally rest easy handing the Ashfield family over to you.
26:22Father!
26:23I am the eldest daughter!
26:25This family belongs to me!
26:26My Siren was sabotaged this time, otherwise the title of Siren King would be ours!
26:30Father gave her a half-hearted scolding, fully intending to just let it slide.
26:34I reached into my robes and pulled out that handkerchief.
26:37Father, during Kyle's matches yesterday, sister tried to use this handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
26:41But it is soaked in belladova extract, a poison that makes a person lose consciousness in seconds.
26:45Even you didn't wake up until today, Father.
26:48To gamble with the family's fate like this, her intentions are utterly unforgivable.
26:51Hearing this, Lord Ashford instantly flew into a rage.
26:54We are lucky Kyle dodged it. If he had touched that handkerchief, who knows who might have stolen the Siren
26:58King's title.
26:59You have been fighting with your sister since you were little girls, and I always turned a blind eye.
27:03But looking at it now, you are indeed unfit to lead the Ashford family.
27:07Serena's eyes widened in shock, as if she couldn't believe Father would say such a thing.
27:11Father, are you just playing favorites now because Lyra Siren became the Siren King?
27:15You insolent fool!
27:17He slapped her hard across the face.
27:19Get back to your room. Serena, from this day forward, you are forbidden from interfering in family affairs, and you
27:24are forbidden from keeping Sirens.
27:26Serena was dragged out. That last sentence had completely sealed her fate.
27:31Without a Siren, how could she ever compete with me?
27:35Kyle and my status within the family skyrocketed.
27:38That night in bed, Kyle's tail swished back and forth restlessly.
27:41I threw a pillow right at his tail.
27:46Are you going to sleep or not?
27:48Kyle rolled over and hovered above me, his voice low and husky.
27:52I will, eventually.
27:55Much later, I couldn't help but ask him.
27:58After Dorian collapsed, what did you say to him?
28:01Kyle let out a low chuckle against my ear.
28:04I told him he had been drinking deer blood this whole time.
28:10Dorian was carried out of the arena and was never seen again.
28:13I heard he threw up blood in the streets for three whole days.
28:16The wound on his tail tore open, leaving a gaping hole.
28:19For a Siren, losing his tail was worse than death.
28:22The former Siren King couldn't even crawl anymore.
28:25Even to his dying breath, he probably could never accept the truth.
28:28What he had been drinking every day wasn't my heart's blood at all.
28:31But cheap deer blood bought from the market for a few coppers.
28:34The herbs only healed his surface wounds, but planted a fatal backlash inside his body.
28:39The harder he fought, the faster he died.
28:41From beginning to end, he brought it all upon himself.
28:44After being forbidden from keeping sirens,
28:46Serena lost every ounce of her power within the family.
28:49Lord Ashford officially handed control of the estate over to me.
28:51The once glorious eldest daughter now had to bow to me whenever we crossed paths.
28:55That night I stood by the moonlit lake behind the estate.
28:58Silver moonlight cascaded across the water.
29:00Kyle emerged from the lake, his tail shimmering with an iridescent glow.
29:04Every scale was perfect.
29:05His fins fully spread.
29:06He was so breathtaking, it didn't look real.
29:09He reached his hand out to me.
29:10Come in.
29:11The water is cold.
29:13I'll keep you warm.
29:15I couldn't help but smile.
29:17Then I took his hand.
29:18He pulled me into the water.
29:19His arms wrapped around my waist, and his tail gently curled around my ankles.
29:24Kyle lowered his head and pressed his forehead against mine.
29:26His blue eyes were stunningly bright under the moonlight.
29:29Lyra.
29:30Hmm?
29:30In this life, you are mine.
29:32And mine alone.
29:33I looked up at him.
29:34In this life, there were no treacherous beasts.
29:36No betrayals.
29:37There was only a proud, loyal Siren King.
29:40And he belonged to me.
29:41Yes.
29:41Only you.
29:42Beneath the water, his tail swished.
29:44Hard.
29:45No betrayals.
29:45No betrayals.
29:46I'm so ashamed.
29:47No betrayals.
