Phụ đề
00:00:00They tripped me first
00:00:01See, even here he talks back
00:00:04Yet you brought unclaimed children before the Moonstone
00:00:07You did nothing wrong
00:00:08Noah
00:00:09And you punished the weak
00:00:12Noah, stop
00:00:13Then you have no right to judge my mother
00:00:15A fatherless child dares lecture me on justice?
00:00:20Take this bastard away
00:00:21Seal his wolf
00:00:2620 years in Moonwolf Palace
00:00:28After tonight, I'm finally free
00:00:31Packed already?
00:00:33Dawn can't come fast enough for her
00:00:3620 years in the palace
00:00:38And still just a lowborn maid
00:00:40Tonight of all nights
00:00:42The Alpha King takes his blessing
00:00:44Then keep that old maid's scent away from him
00:00:50Old Moon Temple
00:00:51We need hands
00:00:52Now
00:00:53That cursed place?
00:00:54No Omega goes in there
00:00:56Hot water
00:00:57Clotting salve
00:00:58Move
00:00:58Everly
00:01:00You're going
00:01:02Me?
00:01:03You leave at dawn
00:01:04No one will miss you by morning
00:01:08Listen carefully
00:01:09What happened there?
00:01:11Don't look at his face
00:01:12Don't leave your scent
00:01:13And if anyone remembers you were there
00:01:15You won't see dawn
00:01:23His alpha aura
00:01:24I can barely breathe
00:01:27Hot water and salve
00:01:29I was told to leave them here
00:01:30Leave!
00:01:31I will
00:01:32I won't come in
00:01:36Silver
00:01:38Poison
00:01:50Leave!
00:01:54Leave!
00:02:00Leave!
00:02:01Do you want to die?
00:02:03No
00:02:04Then leave.
00:02:06I will.
00:02:08After I pull that blade out.
00:02:17What?
00:02:20A mate Mark.
00:02:33One more step and I'm free.
00:02:38Stay with me.
00:02:42I should be running.
00:02:44So why am I holding on?
00:02:57Last chance.
00:02:59Push me away.
00:03:01Liv.
00:03:02Please.
00:03:18O'Don.
00:03:19He's not some common alpha.
00:03:22If he's royal I'm dead.
00:03:32Your Majesty.
00:03:41Find her.
00:03:42Your Majesty.
00:03:43The Omega from last night.
00:03:45Now.
00:03:57Careful.
00:03:58Mum just fell asleep.
00:03:59She coughed all night.
00:04:04Who told you to stoke the fire?
00:04:06The soup was getting cold.
00:04:07Cold soup makes your cough worse.
00:04:13You take the big piece, Mum.
00:04:19No child goes hungry in this house.
00:04:27Where did you get these?
00:04:29I hold wood for the blacksmith.
00:04:31I told you.
00:04:33I'll get the academy fee.
00:04:35Registration closes at the end of the month.
00:04:37We're still short 27 silver coins.
00:04:40That doesn't mean you should haul firewood.
00:04:44I don't want you carrying everything alone.
00:04:49These hands should be turning pages, not hauling wood.
00:04:52I'll make it in.
00:04:53I promise.
00:04:54And I'll become a moon priestess and make your cough go away.
00:05:06Noah.
00:05:07No blacksmith today.
00:05:09Then I'll carry the clothes.
00:05:11You'll carry your book.
00:05:13I'll get the silver.
00:05:15Look.
00:05:16Fatherless pup thinks he belongs at the academy.
00:05:18No one even knows his robes there.
00:05:21Pick them up.
00:05:22Are you giving me orders?
00:05:24Your mother got kicked out of the palace.
00:05:26No one even knows which robes I had you.
00:05:30Kneel.
00:05:34Claws in.
00:05:36They deserve it.
00:05:37Save your claws for real enemies, not spoiled pups.
00:05:40They insulted you.
00:05:42Then get into the academy.
00:05:44Earn your crest.
00:05:45Make them swallow every word.
00:05:47Pick them up.
00:05:50Noah.
00:05:52Those eyes.
00:05:53They look more like his every day.
00:05:56The Elder Council smells weakness.
00:05:59I'm still alive.
00:06:01And airless.
00:06:03That's all they need.
00:06:05Your Majesty.
00:06:07Let me stay tonight.
00:06:10Liv.
00:06:11Please.
00:06:13Everyone out.
00:06:14You won't even look at me.
00:06:16I did.
00:06:17You're not her.
00:06:20Six years, Kale.
00:06:24Choose your next words carefully.
00:06:26No heir.
00:06:27No Luna.
00:06:28All for an Omega from one knight.
00:06:30She was never just one knight.
00:06:32She's my fated mate.
00:06:33If he won't choose a Luna, I'll give every pack a sign they can't ignore.
00:06:36Grand Luna.
00:06:37You mean?
00:06:38The Moonborn Blessing.
00:06:39Every pup, six or younger, comes to the Royal City.
00:06:42Noble, common, border pack.
00:06:44I want them all.
00:06:45Every pack will talk.
00:06:46Good.
00:06:47Let them talk.
00:06:47We put every young pup before the Moonstone.
00:06:50For an heir?
00:06:51For a sign.
00:06:53And the Elder Council?
00:06:56Then they'll stop treating the Crown like it's theirs to divide.
00:07:02Mercy.
00:07:03She came back with shame.
00:07:05She knew this pack wouldn't forget.
00:07:07Mom!
00:07:08Get up!
00:07:09Don't beg him!
00:07:10Everly, the children!
00:07:11I know!
00:07:15Still proud?
00:07:16You kept their names off the register.
00:07:18Don't play innocent now.
00:07:19No sirline!
00:07:20And they still think they belong here?
00:07:21She just wants our well and our grain.
00:07:24Leave my mother out of this.
00:07:26This is about blood.
00:07:27Yours has stained this pack.
00:07:29Don't tie the greys to her.
00:07:30My son has a sireline.
00:07:32Her bastards have no claim to us.
00:07:35Cain!
00:07:35They're five!
00:07:36Old enough to shame us.
00:07:38They barely know the world outside this village.
00:07:40Don't punish children for your pride!
00:07:41Enough!
00:07:42Beg again and you leave with them!
00:07:46The Moon Goddess should judge you!
00:07:50What did you say?
00:07:51You shame mothers.
00:07:53You make elders kneel.
00:07:54You don't deserve to lead this pack.
00:07:57No!
00:07:58Apologize to her!
00:08:00Neil!
00:08:03Apologize to her!
00:08:05You dare bark orders at me before a royal envoy?!
00:08:11I ask for justice.
00:08:15Who gave you the right to send the mother and her children out to die?
00:08:24What's this?
00:08:28Your Majesty!
00:08:34No!
00:08:35Stop!
00:08:36Please!
00:08:40Mom!
00:08:41Did I do something wrong?
00:08:44No!
00:08:46No!
00:08:49Please!
00:08:51Mom!
00:08:54Did I do something wrong?
00:08:56Well!
00:08:57They go to the royal city.
00:08:58His Majesty must see this boy.
00:09:03Your Majesty!
00:09:05Sir Gideon!
00:09:11Who's eyes?
00:09:13Sir Gideon!
00:09:14He was frightened!
00:09:15We'll leave!
00:09:16Leave?
00:09:16He brought a royal envoy to his knees!
00:09:19I didn't hurt him!
00:09:20Not yet!
00:09:21You all saw it!
00:09:22A five-year-old with no sire line just froze royal guards!
00:09:25Does that look normal?
00:09:26No!
00:09:27My knees almost gave down!
00:09:28I couldn't move!
00:09:29Something is wrong with that child.
00:09:32He could make us all kneel next time.
00:09:34And who suffers when he does?
00:09:36Mom?
00:09:38She came back from the royal city pregnant.
00:09:41No mate bond!
00:09:42No sour line!
00:09:43And now she's raised a monster!
00:09:44Noah is not a monster!
00:09:46Then name his father!
00:09:48Say it, Evelyn.
00:09:49Twenty years in the palace and you can't name their father?
00:09:52No answer.
00:09:53Then it was a rogue.
00:09:54Shut up!
00:09:55Noah!
00:09:55Thanks.
00:09:58Wait.
00:09:59She left the royal city six years ago?
00:10:01Yes.
00:10:02She served in Moonwolf Palace.
00:10:04Pregnant?
00:10:04With no mate.
00:10:05No father named.
00:10:07This pack has sheltered her shame long enough!
00:10:10That was years ago.
00:10:11We won't cause trouble.
00:10:13No trouble?
00:10:14You just brought a royal envoy to his knees!
00:10:16She already brought shame here!
00:10:18Now her son brings danger!
00:10:19Don't let them drag us down with them!
00:10:22Everly Grey, the pack has spoken.
00:10:24You and those two pups are cast out.
00:10:26Mom, where will we go?
00:10:28Drive them out!
00:10:29You wouldn't dare!
00:10:30Noah!
00:10:31Get out!
00:10:31No well water.
00:10:33No grain.
00:10:33Not one stick of firewood.
00:10:37Cain!
00:10:38They're children!
00:10:39You can't cast them out!
00:10:41Mabel.
00:10:42Mabel.
00:10:42Your daughter has shamed this pack long enough.
00:10:45Keep begging, and you go with her.
00:10:49You already pushed her to the edge of the village.
00:10:52How much further do you want to push her?
00:10:55She brought this on herself.
00:10:56Six years protecting her.
00:10:58And she's still brought shame home.
00:11:00Keep her off the registry if you must.
00:11:02Mabel.
00:11:03Cut her off from the stores.
00:11:05Even the well.
00:11:07Just don't cast them out.
00:11:08Too late.
00:11:10No!
00:11:10Mom!
00:11:10Please don't throw them out!
00:11:11They'll die out there!
00:11:13Cain!
00:11:14Have mercy!
00:11:18Mercy.
00:11:19She came back with shame.
00:11:21She knew this pack wouldn't forget.
00:11:23Mom!
00:11:23Get up!
00:11:24Don't beg him!
00:11:25Everly, the children!
00:11:27I know!
00:11:31Still proud?
00:11:32You kept their names off the register.
00:11:34Don't play innocent now.
00:11:35No sirline!
00:11:36And they still think they belong here?
00:11:37She just wants our well and our grain.
00:11:40Leave my mother out of this.
00:11:41This is about blood.
00:11:43Yours has stained this pack.
00:11:44Don't tie the greys to her.
00:11:46My son has a sireline.
00:11:47Her bastards have no claim to us.
00:11:50Cain!
00:11:51They're five!
00:11:52Old enough to shame us.
00:11:53They barely know the world outside this village.
00:11:55Don't punish children for your pride.
00:11:57Enough.
00:11:58Beg again and you leave with them.
00:12:01The moon goddess should judge you.
00:12:05What did you say?
00:12:07You shame mothers.
00:12:08You make elders kneel.
00:12:10You don't deserve to lead this pack.
00:12:13Kneel.
00:12:14Apologize to her.
00:12:16Kneel.
00:12:19Apologize to her.
00:12:21You dare bark orders at me before a royal Anvai?
00:12:27I ask for justice.
00:12:31Who gave you the right to send a mother and her children out to die?
00:12:39What's this?
00:12:43Your Majesty!
00:12:49No!
00:12:51Stop!
00:12:51Please!
00:12:55Mom!
00:12:56Did I do something wrong?
00:12:59No!
00:13:01No!
00:13:04Please!
00:13:06Mom!
00:13:07Did I do something wrong?
00:13:09Sir Gideon.
00:13:10Sir Gideon.
00:13:10What happens to the children now?
00:13:12They go to the royal city.
00:13:14His Majesty must see this boy.
00:13:18This place is huge.
00:13:20Stay close.
00:13:21Don't let go.
00:13:36They looked at you like you didn't belong.
00:13:37Not here, Noah.
00:13:39No fights today.
00:13:40Evelyn.
00:13:41I almost didn't recognize you.
00:13:43Iris.
00:13:44It's been years.
00:13:45And these two.
00:13:47Grandchildren.
00:13:49My children.
00:13:52Yours?
00:13:53That's the part she never explains.
00:13:56She left this palace pregnant.
00:13:59Six years later,
00:14:01no pack will claim them.
00:14:04Everly?
00:14:06You brought them into the palace?
00:14:08At her age?
00:14:09With some rogue?
00:14:10And now his pups are in the palace?
00:14:13Don't talk about my children like that.
00:14:16Then put them before the moonstone.
00:14:20Let it prove me wrong.
00:14:24See?
00:14:26Even she knows better.
00:14:27Don't let your children near them.
00:14:30No.
00:14:36Noah.
00:14:36Look at me.
00:14:39Don't give them what they want.
00:14:40I won't.
00:14:41Know your place, Everly.
00:14:43The moonstone isn't for old servants or unclaimed pups.
00:14:55No.
00:14:57I won't use my wolf.
00:14:59I just want an apology.
00:15:01Noah!
00:15:05Your Majesty.
00:15:06The Grand Lunar is waiting inside.
00:15:13That boy.
00:15:15Why do I know that wolf?
00:15:17No.
00:15:18No.
00:15:18No.
00:15:18No.
00:15:18No.
00:15:18No.
00:15:18No.
00:15:19No.
00:15:19No.
00:15:20No.
00:15:20No.
00:15:21No.
00:15:23No.
00:15:24No.
00:15:24No.
00:15:25No.
00:15:25No.
00:15:25No.
00:15:26No.
00:15:26No.
00:15:29No.
00:15:30No.
00:15:30No.
00:15:30No.
00:15:30No.
00:15:33No.
00:15:33No.
00:15:34No.
00:15:39Your Majesty
00:15:45Is he your son?
00:15:47Yes
00:15:49He's bleeding
00:15:50Get him to the healer
00:15:52Yes, Your Majesty
00:15:55Your Majesty
00:15:56The Grand Luna is waiting
00:16:00That scent
00:16:01No, it can't be
00:16:10Bring the children forward
00:16:21Those eyes
00:16:22I've seen them before
00:16:24Little one
00:16:25Come here
00:16:35What's your name?
00:16:37Alara Gray
00:16:38Gray
00:16:40Who hurt you?
00:16:51Grand Luna, don't let that sweet face fool you
00:16:56Who are you?
00:16:57Cora Gray
00:16:58I'm her cousin
00:17:00Cora, enough
00:17:01Enough?
00:17:02You hid those children for six years
00:17:05She left this palace pregnant
00:17:06With no mate and no father named
00:17:09And they let her into the temple
00:17:14Her son already started trouble outside
00:17:16They tripped me first
00:17:19See?
00:17:20Even here he talks back
00:17:23No mate bond?
00:17:27Grand Luna
00:17:28She brought unclaimed children before the Moonstone
00:17:33That is an insult to this temple
00:17:44Is that true?
00:17:50Grand Luna
00:17:51They're my children
00:17:52Then answer for them
00:17:54They did nothing wrong
00:17:55Then why are they on no-pack record?
00:17:58And why bring them before the Moonstone?
00:18:00She wanted the Moonstone
00:18:01To wash it all away
00:18:04This palace gave her a home
00:18:06She brought Scandal back
00:18:08You served in this palace?
00:18:10Yes, Grand Luna
00:18:11And when you left
00:18:13Were you already carrying them?
00:18:15She won't answer
00:18:17Because whatever happened to her
00:18:20Happened inside these walls
00:18:22Don't talk about my mother like that
00:18:24Look at you
00:18:25Rogue born through and through
00:18:27Don't call us that
00:18:28And don't lie about my mom
00:18:30Grand Luna
00:18:31He's challenging you in your own temple
00:18:33An unclaimed pup
00:18:35Bears his teeth in my temple?
00:18:38Grand Luna, please
00:18:39He's just a child
00:18:41Punish me, not him
00:18:42Mom, you did nothing wrong
00:18:43No
00:18:45She raised us alone
00:18:46She never hurt anyone
00:18:49Why punish her for a lie?
00:18:52Grand Luna, he's talking back to you
00:18:55If the boy is this dangerous
00:18:56What about the girl?
00:18:59Touch my sister and see
00:19:04You release your error in my temple
00:19:06And expect mercy?
00:19:08He wasn't trying to hurt anyone
00:19:09He was protecting his sister
00:19:11Protecting her?
00:19:13He's losing control inside the palace
00:19:17Everly Gray, you knew the law of this temple
00:19:20I never meant to insult it
00:19:22Yet you brought unclaimed children
00:19:25Before the moonstone
00:19:26My children are innocent
00:19:28Then you should have spared them this shame
00:19:32Take her to the front
00:19:36Grand Luna
00:19:3720 strokes
00:19:38Let every pack know
00:19:40This temple will not protect disgrace
00:19:43Noah, take care of your sister
00:19:45I'm not leaving you
00:19:47Noah, please
00:19:48Don't hurt Ma
00:19:50Don't touch her
00:19:54You don't get to hurt her
00:19:55Your mother is being punished
00:19:57What can a bastard do?
00:20:00You're the ones who don't belong before the moonstone
00:20:02What did you say?
00:20:05You don't want the truth
00:20:07You listen to lies
00:20:08And you punish the weak
00:20:11Noah, stop!
00:20:12Then you have no right to judge my mother
00:20:17Grand Luna, he's defying the temple
00:20:20How dare you?
00:20:22A fatherless child dares lecture me on justice?
00:20:27You don't get to decide if I have a father
00:20:30Take this bastard away
00:20:32Seal his wolf
00:20:38Grand Luna, they're my children
00:20:41Then answer for them
00:20:42They did nothing wrong
00:20:44Then why are they on no-pack record?
00:20:46And why bring them before the moonstone?
00:20:48She wanted the moonstone to wash it all away!
00:20:53This palace gave her a home
00:20:55She brought Scandal back
00:20:57You served in this palace?
00:20:59Yes, Grand Luna
00:21:00And when you left, were you already carrying them?
00:21:04She won't answer
00:21:05Because whatever happened to her
00:21:08Happened inside these walls
00:21:10Don't talk about my mother like that
00:21:13Look at you
00:21:13Rogue-born through and through
00:21:15Don't call us that
00:21:17And don't lie about my mom
00:21:18Grand Luna, he's challenging you in your own temple
00:21:21An unclaimed pup bears his teeth in my temple?
00:21:26Grand Luna, please
00:21:28He's just a child
00:21:29Punish me, not him
00:21:30Mom, you did nothing wrong
00:21:32Noah
00:21:33She raised us alone
00:21:35She never hurt anyone
00:21:37Why punish her for a lie?
00:21:41Grand Luna, he's talking back to you
00:21:43If the boy is this dangerous, what about the girl?
00:21:48Touch my sister and see
00:21:52You release your error in my temple and expect mercy?
00:21:56He wasn't trying to hurt anyone
00:21:58He was protecting his sister
00:22:00Protecting her?
00:22:01He's losing control inside the palace
00:22:06Everly Gray, you knew the law of this temple
00:22:09I never meant to insult it
00:22:11Yet you brought unclaimed children before the moonstone
00:22:15My children are innocent
00:22:17Then you should have spared them this shame
00:22:20Take her to the front
00:22:24Grand Luna
00:22:2520 strokes
00:22:26Let every pack know this temple will not protect disgrace
00:22:31Noah
00:22:32Take care of your sister
00:22:34I'm not leaving you
00:22:36Noah, please
00:22:37Don't hurt Ma!
00:22:39Don't touch her!
00:22:42You don't get to hurt her!
00:22:44Your mother is being punished
00:22:45What can a bastard do?
00:22:48You're the ones who don't belong before the moonstone
00:22:51What did you say?
00:22:53You don't want the truth
00:22:55You listen to lies
00:22:57And you punish the weak
00:22:59Noah, stop!
00:23:01Then you have no right to judge my mother
00:23:05Grand Luna, he's defying the temple!
00:23:08How dare he?
00:23:10A fatherless child dares lecture me on justice?
00:23:15You don't get to decide if I have a father
00:23:19Take this bastard away
00:23:21Seal his wolf!
00:23:25My cousin
00:23:26She carried another dragon egg
00:23:28I kept my eyes closed
00:23:29Breathed steady
00:23:30Let her think I was sleeping
00:23:31Cinder stopped beside the cradle
00:23:33Then she lifted my golden shelled egg
00:23:35And replaced it with her own dull, cracked one
00:23:38Behind her, ash stood in rags
00:23:41Bruises everywhere
00:23:42Scalp bleeding where hair had been torn out
00:23:44No dragon spark in her eyes
00:23:46Just fear
00:23:47My daughter
00:23:47Born from the egg
00:23:49Cinder had stolen from me
00:23:50Dragons gather
00:23:51The weavers watched from the heavens
00:23:53Serafina descended in a gown of woven starlight
00:23:56The crowd gasped at her beauty
00:23:57Her power
00:23:58Her perfection
00:23:59Cinder stumbled through the crowd
00:24:01Clutching a bloodstone
00:24:02Ash trailed behind her on an iron chain
00:24:05Crawling across the marble like an animal
00:24:06Stop the trial!
00:24:08It's all a lie!
00:24:10Serafinus is my daughter!
00:24:11Swapped the eggs a century ago!
00:24:14Very well, let's swap them back
00:24:15Cinder froze
00:24:16She'd prepared speeches
00:24:18Arguments
00:24:18Threats
00:24:19None needed
00:24:20Kale's face darkened
00:24:22Ash is my daughter
00:24:23I watched the eggs get swapped
00:24:25Ash's eyes went wide
00:24:26She crawled toward me
00:24:27Mouth opening
00:24:28Trying to say
00:24:29Mother
00:24:29Through her ruined tongue
00:24:31I watched my cousins
00:24:32Steal my dragon egg
00:24:36And I let her
00:24:39For one hundred years
00:24:40She tortured my real daughter
00:24:45While I raised hers as the future dragon queen
00:24:50Then
00:24:51At the air ascension trial
00:24:53My cousin exposed the truth
00:24:55Stop the trial!
00:24:57She thought she had won
00:24:58She thought she was about to take back her daughter
00:25:01And steal my future
00:25:02Because I had been waiting one hundred years
00:25:06For this exact moment
00:25:08Moonlight spilled across the crystal cradle
00:25:10Beside my bed
00:25:11Inside rested a golden dragon egg
00:25:14My heir
00:25:15The future of the dragon empire
00:25:17Then the door opened
00:25:19My cousin
00:25:20She carried another dragon egg
00:25:24I kept my eyes closed
00:25:25Breathed steady
00:25:26Let her think I was sleeping
00:25:28Cinder stopped beside the cradle
00:25:30Tears filled her eyes
00:25:31It should have been me
00:25:33Kale should have chosen me
00:25:34Then she lifted my golden shelled egg
00:25:36And replaced it with her own
00:25:38Dull cracked one
00:25:39My nails dug into my palms
00:25:41Cinder left with my egg
00:25:42The door closed behind her
00:25:44I opened my eyes
00:25:45A stranger egg sat in my cradle
00:25:48I stared at it
00:25:49I could have stopped her
00:25:50But I didn't
00:25:52Tired opposite her
00:25:53The world is another
00:25:55Larbly enchast
00:25:59Elyria!
00:26:00You're working Seraphina too hard!
00:26:03Poor thing
00:26:04Are you hungry?
00:26:06Tired?
00:26:07You don't deserve this
00:26:09I've got a flame gem
00:26:11That can help you get through
00:26:12The dragon trial
00:26:12I'll send it to you tomorrow
00:26:14This was her ritual
00:26:15Ever since the swap
00:26:17Cinder found every excuse
00:26:18To be near her daughter
00:26:21Criticizing my parenting
00:26:22Offering gifts
00:26:23Stealing moments with the girl
00:26:25She'd stolen from my arms
00:26:27I said nothing
00:26:28Behind her
00:26:29Ash stood in rags
00:26:31Bruises everywhere
00:26:32Scalp bleeding where hair
00:26:34Had been torn out
00:26:34No dragon spark in her eyes
00:26:36Just fear
00:26:37My daughter
00:26:38Born from the egg
00:26:39Cinder had stolen from me
00:26:41Cinder turned
00:26:42Grabbed Ash by the hair
00:26:43And dragged her forward
00:26:48Look at Seraphina
00:26:49Look at what you can never be
00:26:51Ash whimpered
00:26:52Cinder pulled harder
00:26:54A clump of bloody hair
00:26:55Came free
00:26:58Teach you what happens
00:26:59When you forget your place
00:27:01She held the bloody hair
00:27:02In front of my face
00:27:03See Aurelia
00:27:04This is how you train trash
00:27:12You're too kind
00:27:13Cinder's smile faltered
00:27:14She wanted me to care
00:27:16Because the girl in chains
00:27:18She was never my daughter
00:27:20Not really
00:27:21Seraphina loved firefish
00:27:23And Cinder spent dinner
00:27:25Deboning it for her
00:27:26Never eating
00:27:27As her full attention
00:27:27Stayed on the daughter
00:27:28She believed was hers
00:27:30Ash sat chained
00:27:32To the table leg
00:27:32Iron collar
00:27:33Rusty and tight
00:27:34Digging into her neck
00:27:36Mother
00:27:38May I have bread
00:27:40Cinder's face transformed
00:27:42Into something demonic
00:27:43She seized Ash's head
00:27:45And shoved it
00:27:45Into the slop bucket leftovers
00:27:47Bones
00:27:48Grease
00:27:51Eat
00:27:51Eat you ungrateful worm
00:27:54Ash's face emerged
00:27:55Covered in filth
00:27:56Tears cut through the grime
00:27:58She looked at me
00:27:59Pleading
00:27:59Begging for the mother
00:28:01Who had never once
00:28:02Defended her
00:28:02I lifted my wine glass
00:28:04I took a sip
00:28:05Didn't move
00:28:06Seraphina turned pale
00:28:08Cinder noticed immediately
00:28:09What's wrong dear?
00:28:10You look pale
00:28:12She hauled Ash away
00:28:13By the collar
00:28:19You've upset your eminency
00:28:20I'll deal with you later
00:28:23The next morning
00:28:24Cinder brought the flame gem
00:28:25As promised
00:28:26Last night
00:28:27I sent three males
00:28:29To teach the little brat
00:28:30Some manners
00:28:31She watched my face
00:28:32For a reaction
00:28:32She's just an Ashbourne
00:28:34What matters is Seraphina
00:28:36Right cousin?
00:28:37I gave her none
00:28:38Kale
00:28:39My husband
00:28:39Shot me a look
00:28:40Of disappointment
00:28:41He'd always behave
00:28:42The honorable type
00:28:44Cinder pressed the flame gem
00:28:46Into Seraphina's hands
00:28:51This will protect you
00:28:52Through the Ascension trial
00:28:53Then leaned down
00:28:54To Seraphina's ear
00:28:56On the day you win
00:28:58I'll tell you a great secret
00:29:00I closed the door behind them
00:29:02Masking the cold fire
00:29:03In my eyes
00:29:06Yes
00:29:07Some secrets are overdue
00:29:09Seraphina's clothes
00:29:10Gradually disappeared
00:29:11And her body
00:29:12Was enveloped
00:29:13By an orb of light
00:29:15Then the orb of light
00:29:16Shattered into fragments
00:29:17And her body
00:29:18Transformed into a dragon
00:29:23Cinder watched
00:29:24Mesmerized
00:29:24Then her gaze
00:29:25Snapped to the tail
00:29:27She's missing a scale
00:29:28How could you miss this?
00:29:30What kind of mother
00:29:31Are you?
00:29:32Your daughter's nearly bald
00:29:33From lesson lets
00:29:34But Seraphina loses one scale
00:29:36And you're screaming?
00:29:38Cinder trembled
00:29:39With rage
00:29:40Then her lips
00:29:41Twisted into something venomous
00:29:42She activated
00:29:44Her communication crystal
00:29:46Scar the little one's face
00:29:48Your eminency
00:29:49Lost a scale
00:29:50She must have cursed her
00:29:54From the crystal
00:29:57Screams
00:29:58Please
00:29:59I beg you
00:30:00I'll be good
00:30:02Cinder closed her eyes
00:30:04In bliss
00:30:09Seraphina frowned
00:30:10Auntie
00:30:11I knocked the scale off myself
00:30:12It doesn't affect my power
00:30:15Every scale matters
00:30:16Aurora
00:30:17You must infuse her again
00:30:19With heart flame
00:30:19I stared
00:30:20Until Cinder squirmed
00:30:21I'm sure
00:30:22Seraphina appreciates
00:30:24Your concern
00:30:25You should worry
00:30:26About your own daughter
00:30:27Not mine
00:30:28I said it flatly
00:30:29Then turned
00:30:30And walked away
00:30:31I heard Cinder whisper
00:30:33When you're the
00:30:34Ascended queen
00:30:35I'll tell you everything
00:30:40I smiled
00:30:41She'd tell Seraphina nothing
00:30:43Because I would tell
00:30:44Everyone first
00:30:45And the great secret
00:30:47She planned to reveal
00:30:48The ascension trial
00:30:49Was three days away
00:30:50I had waited
00:30:51One hundred years
00:30:52I could wait
00:30:53Three more days
00:31:04The dragons gather
00:31:06The weavers watched
00:31:07From the heavens
00:31:08Seraphina descended
00:31:09In a gown of woven starlight
00:31:11The crowd gasped
00:31:12At her beauty
00:31:13Her power
00:31:14Her perfection
00:31:15Elders raised his staff
00:31:21By blood and fire
00:31:23We name the
00:31:24Wait
00:31:25Cinder stumbled
00:31:26Through the crowd
00:31:27Clutching a bloodstone
00:31:28Ash trailed behind her
00:31:30On an iron chain
00:31:31Collarbone bleeding
00:31:32Crawling across the marble
00:31:33Like an animal
00:31:35Stop the trial
00:31:37It's all a lie
00:31:39Seraphina is my daughter
00:31:41Swapped the eggs
00:31:42A century ago
00:31:43Alaria
00:31:44Give me back
00:31:45My baby
00:31:50Cinder fell to her knees
00:31:51Rasping my skirt
00:31:52Alaria
00:31:53Take your ashborne back
00:31:55Seraphina is my daughter
00:31:58The crowd erupted
00:32:00Seraphina's an ember class dragon
00:32:02You're a wizened
00:32:03How could you birth
00:32:04An ember class
00:32:05The ashborne's been ruined
00:32:06You want to swap now
00:32:07The ashborne does look
00:32:08More like Ariria
00:32:11Ash glanced at me
00:32:12Looked away
00:32:14Kale rose from his throne
00:32:15This is absurd
00:32:17My wife would never
00:32:19I raised my hand
00:32:19Silence fell
00:32:21Then I smiled
00:32:22Very well
00:32:23Let's swap them back
00:32:24Cinder froze
00:32:25She'd prepared speeches
00:32:27Arguments
00:32:27Threats
00:32:28None needed
00:32:29Kale's face darkened
00:32:31He rushed to me
00:32:33You can't this alone
00:32:34We've invested everything
00:32:36In Seraphina
00:32:37I looked at the crowd
00:32:38At Ash
00:32:39Ash is my daughter
00:32:43I watched the eggs
00:32:44Get swapped
00:32:45Ash's eyes went wide
00:32:46She crawled toward me
00:32:48Mouth opening
00:32:49Trying to say
00:32:49Mother
00:32:50Through her ruined taan
00:32:53His eyes were red
00:32:55With fury
00:33:02Why Alaria
00:33:03Why
00:33:14The dragons gather
00:33:16The weavers watched
00:33:18From the heavens
00:33:19Seraphina descended
00:33:20In a gown of woven starlight
00:33:22The crowd gasped

00:33:38Clutching a bloodstone
00:33:39Ash trailed behind her
00:33:41On an iron chain
00:33:41Collarbone bleeding
00:33:42Crawling across the marble
00:33:44Like an animal
00:33:46Stop the trial

00:33:53A century ago
00:33:54Alaria
00:33:55Give me back my baby
00:34:01Cinder fell to her knees
00:34:02Grasping my skirt
00:34:03Alaria
00:34:04Take your ashborne back
00:34:06Seraphina is my daughter
00:34:09The crowd erupted
00:34:11Seraphina's an ember class dragon

00:34:45We've invested everything
00:34:47In Seraphina
00:34:47I looked at the crowd
00:34:49At Ash
00:34:50Ash is my daughter
00:34:54I watched the eggs
00:34:55Get swapped
00:34:56Ash's eyes went wide
00:34:57She crawled toward me
00:34:59Mouth opening
00:34:59Trying to say
00:35:00Mother
00:35:00Through her ruined ton
00:35:04His eyes were red
00:35:05With fury
00:35:12Why Alaria
00:35:14Why
00:35:15I'm a top tier
00:35:16Adult content creator
00:35:17Then my monitor
00:35:18Went black
00:35:18Only the mirror
00:35:20Except
00:35:20There was someone
00:35:21Inside it
00:35:22My faded mate
00:35:23And the mirror
00:35:24Grabbed me
00:35:24Cut out their heart
00:35:26Offer it to the throne
00:35:27Or die
00:35:28Then suddenly
00:35:28Mia shoved me
00:35:29Straight into the center
00:35:30Suddenly something cold
00:35:31Pressed against my waist
00:35:32The chainsaw
00:35:33I'm a top tier
00:35:34Adult content creator
00:35:35I've seen every wild
00:35:36Request imaginable
00:35:37And I know how to
00:35:38Fulfill my subscribers
00:35:39Darkest fantasies
00:35:40203
00:35:41And I refreshed
00:35:41My earnings page
00:35:42Then my monitor
00:35:43Went black
00:35:43Red text slowly appeared
00:35:46A million dollar donor?
00:35:47Okay either I'm
00:35:48Pollucinating
00:35:49Or my rent problems
00:35:50Are officially over
00:35:51Another message appeared
00:35:52The room suddenly
00:35:53Felt colder
00:35:53Slowly I looked behind me
00:35:55Only the mirror
00:35:56Except there was someone
00:35:57Inside it
00:35:58A man sat upon
00:36:00A massive black throne
00:36:01Or half a man
00:36:02Below his waist
00:36:03Coiled an enormous
00:36:03Serpent tail
00:36:04Covered in dark scales
00:36:05Long black hair
00:36:06Gold slit pupils
00:36:07Ancient eyes
00:36:08That looked almost inhuman
00:36:09Then he smiled
00:36:10There you are
00:36:11My faded mate
00:36:13The word echoed
00:36:14Strangely in my head
00:36:15Like it belonged
00:36:15To something old
00:36:16I stepped closer
00:36:17My fingers almost
00:36:18Touched the glass
00:36:19And the mirror
00:36:20Grabbed me
00:36:20The live stream
00:36:22Never ended
00:36:24387,421 viewers
00:36:25Watched the screen
00:36:26Shake violently
00:36:27Then the mirror
00:36:28Cracked down the center
00:36:29Red text splashed
00:36:30Across the stream
00:36:31Rule number zero
00:36:32If the king calls you mate
00:36:33Do not resist
00:36:40The monitor flickered with static
00:36:42Then the live stream interface
00:36:43Changed on its own
00:36:44The Scarlet Kingdom
00:36:46Season finale
00:36:47Tonight's featured guest
00:36:48The king's mate
00:36:48Special notice
00:36:49The king is watching tonight
00:36:54The screen glitched dot
00:36:56And suddenly
00:36:57I was thrown hard
00:36:58Onto the foldstone floor
00:36:59Of a dim corridor
00:37:01I looked down at myself
00:37:03Dot black silk slip dress
00:37:04Leather garter around my thigh
00:37:06Five inch red bottom heels
00:37:08My working uniform
00:37:10Crimson lights
00:37:11Flickered overhead
00:37:12Like broken streamer lights
00:37:13During a haunted sponsorship event
00:37:15No way
00:37:16They actually brought in a streamer
00:37:17That outfit is not
00:37:18Survival approved
00:37:19Wait
00:37:20The king?
00:37:22What is this?
00:37:24Some kind of reality show?
00:37:27Welcome, Contestus
00:37:29Tonight's entertainment
00:37:30Will begin shortly
00:37:31Find the one who unleashed
00:37:32The Scarlet Rot
00:37:33Cut out their heart
00:37:34Offer it to the throne
00:37:35Or die
00:37:35Heavy footsteps echoed
00:37:37Somewhere ahead
00:37:38Two figures emerged
00:37:39From the red haze
00:37:44The first was a massive man
00:37:46Covered in scars
00:37:47Dressed like a mercenary
00:37:48He looked me up and down
00:37:49And laughed
00:37:50Great
00:37:51Influencer bait
00:37:52The woman beside him
00:37:54Elbowed his ribs
00:37:55Before stepping toward me
00:37:57Ignore him
00:37:58I'm Mia
00:37:59Stay close to me
00:38:00First time contestants
00:38:01Die fast here
00:38:02Before anyone reaches the palace
00:38:04They have to pass through
00:38:05The slaughterhouse
00:38:05And that's where the kingdom's favorite monster lives
00:38:08The butcher
00:38:09If he starts chasing you
00:38:11That usually means the episode is over
00:38:40The slaughterhouse
00:38:42I'm caught between crack stones
00:38:43I bent down to pull it free
00:38:47Suddenly something cold pressed against my waist
00:38:49The chainsaw
00:38:56I'm a top tier adult content creator
00:38:58Then my monitor went black
00:38:59Only the mirror
00:39:01Except there was someone inside it
00:39:03My fated mate
00:39:04My fated mate
00:39:05And the mirror grabbed me
00:39:05Cut out their heart

00:41:49The butcher
00:41:50If he starts chasing you
00:41:52That usually means the episode is over
00:41:55The slaughterhouse looked like something ripped out of a nightmare
00:41:57Transparent plastic sheets covered the floor
00:41:59Blood smeared the stone walls
00:42:01And somewhere in the darkness
00:42:05A chainsaw growled low and steady
00:42:08I held my breath
00:42:09Praying we wouldn't run into the butcher
00:42:11Then suddenly Mia shoved me straight into the center
00:42:15The butcher only takes one victim an hour
00:42:17Thanks for volunteering Barbie
00:42:18Before I could react
00:42:19She and the mercenary disappeared into the red fog
00:42:22My heel caught between cracked stones

00:46:05I bent down to pull it free
00:46:09Suddenly something cold pressed against my waist
00:46:11The chainsaw
00:46:15How many of us are there?
00:46:17Only us Kane
00:46:18I've been searching for three years
00:46:19Two
00:46:20In the entire world
00:46:21Just two
00:46:22I got cornered by three drunk guys in the basement
00:46:25When I opened my eyes
00:46:25All three of them were on the ground
00:46:27Gold lines were flowing across the surface of my skin
00:46:30I went to the underground fighting ring
00:46:32Every beating I took only made me stronger
00:46:33We're nothing alike
00:46:35My power is different from yours
00:46:36I can manipulate electromagnetic fields
00:46:38Anything with electricity
00:46:39Or the human nervous system
00:46:41I can touch it
00:46:42Bend it
00:46:43Break it
00:46:43I'm a junior in the mechanical engineering department
00:46:46Bottom of the class in every fitness test
00:46:48That day
00:46:49I got cornered by three drunk guys in the basement parking garage of the lab building
00:46:53When I opened my eyes
00:46:55All three of them were on the ground
00:46:56And my right fist was still buried in the concrete wall
00:46:59I looked down at my hand
00:47:00Dark gold lines were flowing across the surface of my skin
00:47:03And I punched through a load-bearing wall
00:47:05Just to make sure it wasn't a hallucination
00:47:07It was definitely a superpower
00:47:10So, you sure you got jumped by three guys?
00:47:13Yeah, I'm sure
00:47:14Well, you ought to thank your mama for good genes, kid
00:47:16Zero fractures, zero internal bleeding
00:47:18You got some scrapes and bruises
00:47:19Slap a band-aid on it and you're good
00:47:20I went back to my dorm
00:47:21Locked the door
00:47:22Wanted to test whether the superpower was still there
00:47:24The lines didn't light up
00:47:26Nothing happened
00:47:26So it's not just self-harm
00:47:29Gotta be something else
00:47:30I went to the underground fighting ring
00:47:31Behind the back street of campus
00:47:34What do you want?
00:47:37Fighting
00:47:38I want to fight
00:47:39Yo, we got a skinny one out here saying he wants to fight
00:47:46This ain't no tea party, kid
00:47:48Alright, go on in
00:47:49Sign the waiver first
00:47:50You die, that's on you
00:47:56Derek, nickname The Hammer
00:47:57Just put an amateur boxer in the ICU last fight
00:48:03Hey, I mean
00:48:05I was pulling his head
00:48:06Get up, you piece of crap
00:48:07He ain't even breathing
00:48:09Told you he didn't stand a chance
00:48:11Awakening reconstruction
00:48:13Activated
00:48:13Attribute level increased by one
00:48:19I see what I'm talking about
00:48:23What the hell?
00:48:25He's alive!
00:48:25My fucking way!
00:48:34Over the next few days
00:48:35I went there every night
00:48:39Winner!
00:48:40I can't experiment
00:48:42Holy shit!
00:48:42That was insane!
00:48:45No one would fight me anymore
00:48:47The rules were clear now
00:48:48Every beating I took
00:48:49Only made me stronger
00:48:52Thanks for letting me in that first night, man
00:49:04I thought I heard something
00:49:06Not normal city nose
00:49:10Please
00:49:11Please just let me go
00:49:12Come on, baby
00:49:13Don't be like that
00:49:13We're just having fun
00:49:14Oh, she's begging
00:49:15That's cute
00:49:15Do it again
00:49:15Say it again for the camera
00:49:22Mind your own business, kid
00:49:24Walk away, kid
00:49:25Last chance
00:49:31No
00:49:40Don't ever come back to the street
00:49:47Hey, you okay?
00:49:53Ella Martinez
00:49:55Freshman biology major
00:49:56Lives in the dorms east of campus
00:49:59Her birthday party got cancelled tonight
00:50:02Thank you
00:50:02I don't even know your name
00:50:03Kane
00:50:04Kane Morrison
00:50:05Kane
00:50:07Thank you, Kane
00:50:08Happy birthday, by the way
00:50:09Worst birthday ever
00:50:10But at least the ending
00:50:11Wasn't that
00:50:16I thought that was the end of it
00:50:25That man was just like me
00:50:27He had it, too
00:50:35Relax
00:50:35I'm not here to fight
00:50:37What do you want?
00:50:39Who are you?
00:50:40Marcus Gray
00:50:41But people call me Gray
00:50:42Gray
00:50:43Yeah, like the color
00:50:44Fits, doesn't it?
00:50:45Gray coat
00:50:45Red eyes
00:50:46I didn't choose the aesthetic
00:50:47But I've learned to lean into it
00:50:48What do you want, Marcus?
00:50:49To talk, that's all
00:50:50Sit down
00:50:51This is gonna take a minute
00:50:52What do you want?
00:50:54Straight to the point
00:50:55I like that
00:51:01I wanna talk about what we are
00:51:03We?
00:51:05Don't play dumb, Kane
00:51:06I saw what you did in that garage
00:51:07I saw what you did in the ring every night
00:51:08Three days ago
00:51:09I watched you snap a man's wrist
00:51:10Like a breadstick
00:51:11You and me
00:51:12We're the same
00:51:12We're nothing alike
00:51:16Really?
00:51:21You felt it, too, didn't you?
00:51:23What happened to you?
00:51:24I died in a car accident
00:51:26But Marcus came back
00:51:27My power is different from yours
00:51:29I can manipulate electromagnetic fields
00:51:31Anything with electricity
00:51:32Or the human nervous system
00:51:34I can touch it
00:51:35Bend it
00:51:36Break it
00:51:41How many of us are there?
00:51:46Just us
00:51:48What?
00:51:51Only us, Kane
00:51:52I've been searching for three years
00:51:54Scanning every frequency
00:51:55Monitoring every anomaly
00:51:56Chasing every impossible report
00:51:58Two
00:51:59In the entire world
00:52:01Just two
00:52:04Three years
00:52:05You've been doing this for three years
00:52:06What have you been doing with your ability?
00:52:11Building something
00:52:22How many of us are there?
00:52:23Only us, Kane
00:52:24I've been searching for three years
00:52:26Two
00:52:26In the entire world
00:52:28Just two
00:52:29I got cornered by three drunk guys in the basement
00:52:31When I opened my eyes
00:52:32All three of them were on the ground
00:52:33Gold lines were flowing across the surface of my skin
00:52:36I went to the underground fighting ring
00:52:38Every beating I took only made me stronger
00:52:40We're nothing alike
00:52:41My power is different from yours
00:52:42I can manipulate electromagnetic fields
00:52:45Anything with electricity
00:52:46Or the human nervous system
00:52:48I can touch it
00:52:48Bend it
00:52:49Break it
00:52:50I'm a junior in the mechanical engineering department
00:52:52Bottom of the class in every fitness test
00:52:54That day
00:52:56I got cornered by three drunk guys in the basement parking garage of the lab building
00:53:00When I opened my eyes
00:53:01All three of them were on the ground
00:53:03And my right fist was still buried in the concrete wall
00:53:05I looked down at my hand
00:53:07Dark gold lines were flowing across the surface of my skin
00:53:10And I punched through a load-bearing wall just to make sure it wasn't a hallucination
00:53:14It was definitely a superpower
00:53:17So, you sure you got jumped by three guys?
00:53:20Yeah, I'm sure
00:53:21Well, you ought to thank your mama for good genes, kid
00:53:23Zero fractures, zero internal bleeding
00:53:24You got some scrapes and bruises
00:53:25Slap a band-aid on it and you're good
00:53:27I went back to my dorm
00:53:28Locked the door
00:53:28Wanted to test whether the superpower was still there
00:53:31The lines didn't light up
00:53:32Nothing happened
00:53:33So it's not just self-harm
00:53:35Gotta be something else
00:53:36I went to the underground fighting ring behind the back street of campus
00:53:41What do you want?
00:53:43Fighting
00:53:44I want to fight
00:53:45Yo, we got a skinny one out here saying he wants to fight
00:53:52This ain't no tea party, kid
00:53:54Alright, go on in
00:53:55Sign the waiver first
00:53:56You die, that's on you
00:54:02Derek, nickname The Hammer
00:54:03Just put an amateur boxer in the ICU last fight
00:54:11I was pulling his head
00:54:13Get up, you piece of track
00:54:14He ain't even breathing
00:54:15Told you he didn't stand a chance
00:54:17Awakening reconstruction activated
00:54:19Attribute level increased by one
00:54:25That's what I'm talking about
00:54:30Who the hell
00:54:31These are my fucking way
00:54:41Over the next few days
00:54:42I went there every night
00:54:46Winner!
00:54:46I can't experiment
00:54:48Holy shit, that was insane!
00:54:51No one would fight me anymore
00:54:54The rules were clear now
00:54:55Every beating I took only made me stronger
00:54:58Thanks for letting me in that first night, man
00:54:59Thanks for letting me in that first night, man
00:55:10I thought I heard something
00:55:12Not normal city nose
00:55:17Please, please just let me go
00:55:18Come on, baby
00:55:19Don't be like that
00:55:20We're just having fun
00:55:20Oh, she's begging
00:55:21That's cute
00:55:22Do it again
00:55:22Say it again for the camera
00:55:29Mind your own business, kid
00:55:31Walk away, kid
00:55:32Last chance
00:55:38No
00:55:39No
00:55:46Don't ever come back to the street
00:55:53Hey, you okay?
00:55:59Ella Martinez
00:56:01Freshman biology major
00:56:03Lives in the dorms east of campus
00:56:05Her birthday party got cancelled tonight
00:56:08Thank you, I don't even know your name
00:56:10Cain
00:56:10Cain Morrison
00:56:12Cain
00:56:13Thank you, Cain
00:56:15Happy birthday, by the way
00:56:16Worst birthday ever
00:56:17But at least the ending wasn't that
00:56:23I thought that was the end of it
00:56:31That man was just like me

00:56:41Relax
00:56:42I'm not here to fight
00:56:43What do you want?
00:56:46Who are you?
00:56:47Marcus Gray
00:56:47But people call me Gray
00:56:48Gray
00:56:49Yeah, like the color
00:56:50Fits, doesn't it?
00:56:51Gray coat, red eyes
00:56:52I didn't choose the aesthetic

00:57:39Or the human nervous system
00:57:40I can touch it
00:57:42I can touch it

00:57:42Break it
00:57:48How many of us are there?
00:57:53Just us
00:57:55What?
00:57:57Only us, Cain
00:57:58I've been searching for three years
00:58:00Scanning every frequency
00:58:02Monitoring every anomaly
00:58:03Chasing every impossible report
00:58:05Two
00:58:06In the entire world
00:58:07Just two
00:58:10Three years
00:58:11You've been doing this for three years
00:58:13What have you been doing with your ability?
00:58:17Building something
00:58:26I waited for him for three long years
00:58:28Now he's back
00:58:29And he finally proposed
00:58:30But the girl he proposed to
00:58:32Wasn't me
00:58:33A timid girl named Luna
00:58:34Knelt next to him
00:58:35Cradling her heavily pregnant belly
00:58:37You shouldn't have messed with me
00:58:38In the first place
00:58:39Julian raised his open hands toward me
00:58:41I crushed the cherry of the cigarette
00:58:42Right into his bare palm
00:58:44I pulled one out at random
00:58:45And said yes
00:58:46On my wedding day
00:58:48Julian hijacked the venue with a gun
00:58:50And I'll blow his brains out
00:58:51Three years ago
00:58:53I was about to make it official with Julian
00:58:55Our youngest capo
00:58:59That's when my father
00:59:00The Don
00:59:01Sent him on a suicide mission
00:59:04If I make it out of this alive
00:59:07I swear I'm going to give you
00:59:09The wedding of the century
00:59:10I rejected every arranged marriage
00:59:13I waited for him for three long years
00:59:15Miss
00:59:16Until the day he finally returned
00:59:26Julian dropped to his knees before the Don
00:59:28Don
00:59:29I want to claim my reward
00:59:31For completing this mission
00:59:32I want your blessing to marry Luna Cinchalia
00:59:40Julian is covered in scars
00:59:41With a crippled leg
00:59:42And missing fingers
00:59:43A timid girl named Luna
00:59:45Nelt next to him
00:59:46Cradling her heavily pregnant belly
00:59:51The Don instinctively looked at me
00:59:56Everyone in the room
00:59:57Braced themselves
00:59:58They expected me to skin them alive
01:00:01To tear the place apart
01:00:03Until nothing was left
01:00:05But I didn't
01:00:06Congratulations Miss Sinclair
01:00:15Without another word
01:00:16I went back to my room
01:00:17And locked the door
01:00:18Over the last three years
01:00:20Marriage alliance offers
01:00:21Had piled up everywhere
01:00:23I pulled one out at random
01:00:24And said yes
01:00:26On my wedding day
01:00:27Julian hijacked the venue
01:00:29With a gun
01:00:30Say I do
01:00:32And I'll blow his brains out
01:00:36Don has seven capos
01:00:38Who would die for him
01:00:39Julian is the seventh
01:00:40He was the most handsome
01:00:41Of them all
01:00:42And the one I've loved
01:00:43Since I was a little girl
01:00:46The Don later told me
01:00:47If he had known about us
01:00:49He never would have sent Julian
01:00:50On that mission
01:00:52That's exactly why
01:00:53The Don chose him
01:00:55But that was three years ago
01:00:57I still didn't know if he
01:00:58Miss
01:00:59Julian is back
01:01:04Miss
01:01:06Wait
01:01:08I instantly understood
01:01:10Whatever was waiting for me out there
01:01:12Wouldn't be a happy reunion
01:01:14I know
01:01:14The rain instantly soaked my dress
01:01:17But I didn't stop
01:01:21The front hall was packed
01:01:23With the family's men
01:01:24Julian was down on one knee
01:01:26His face grim
01:01:27The other six capos lined the hall
01:01:29They stared at Julian
01:01:30Their faces torn between relief and rage
01:01:33The tension in the room was suffocating
01:01:35I had no idea why
01:01:38Don
01:01:38All eyes fell on me
01:01:40The lethal hostility
01:01:42Radiating from the Don
01:01:43Finally began to ease
01:01:46What's going on?
01:01:48Why is he on his knees?
01:01:49Julian barely gave me a glance
01:01:50Like I was a total stranger
01:01:52Don, she and the baby are innocent
01:01:53I can't just abandon them
01:01:54I'm begging you, Don
01:01:57Begging you, Chloe
01:01:58Please give us your blessing
01:02:00He looked up
01:02:01Meeting the Don's stare for a second
01:02:03Before lowering his eyes again
01:02:05In that split second
01:02:06It all finally clicked
01:02:08Right then
01:02:08A timid girl stepped into the hall
01:02:12She looked about my age
01:02:13But beneath her pure white dress
01:02:15There was no hiding that heavily pregnant belly
01:02:19Sobbing
01:02:19She dropped to her knees
01:02:21Right in front of the Don
01:02:22The Don just rolled a coin over his knuckles
01:02:25Dead silent
01:02:27Julian never expected getting this blessing to be so damn hard
01:02:30After all, we never went public
01:02:32No one knew about us
01:02:33But he forgot one thing
01:02:36If I hadn't confessed everything to the Don
01:02:38I would have been packed off in an arranged marriage years ago
01:02:42I never could have waited three long years just for him
01:02:45Every single capo in that room was looking at me with pity
01:02:48I might look sweet
01:02:49Put down the gun
01:02:50But a mafia princess is nobody's fool
01:02:53My eyes locked onto Julian three years
01:02:55He looked so much older
01:02:56A deep scar slashed across his brow
01:02:58A crippled leg
01:03:00Missing fingers
01:03:01It was obvious
01:03:01These past three years hadn't been easy for him
01:03:04Julian has bled for the Winchester family
01:03:06We can't have a man like him on his knees
01:03:08Now can we?
01:03:09I turned my head
01:03:11Looking down at the man
01:03:12Who secretly promised himself to me three years ago
01:03:14Papa?
01:03:15Let's say the third of next month
01:03:17That gives us plenty of time to arrange Julian and Luna's wedding
01:03:20For a split second
01:03:21The cold, ruthless Don actually froze
01:03:24The other capos lowered their heads in dead silence
01:03:27Because the third of next month
01:03:29Was the date the Don had set for our wedding
01:03:31A grand wedding with the whole family present
01:03:34The Don had set three backup dates for it
01:03:37This was the final one
01:03:38He said one of them had to be the day Julian finally came home
01:03:41Now he's back
01:03:42And he finally proposed
01:03:43But the girl he proposed to wasn't me
01:03:46Outside, a light rain began to fall
01:03:48The couples crying and holding each other for everyone to see
01:03:52Seeing the sheer tenderness in his eyes
01:03:54I finally snapped
01:03:55Are you all mute?
01:03:57Pay your respects
01:03:59Sir, now
01:04:02I could feel the questioning stares burning into my back
01:04:05But I didn't give a damn
01:04:06I'm a mafia princess
01:04:07A man doesn't break me
01:04:11You didn't deserve that, kid
01:04:12I pushed open the door to my room
01:04:14Marriage proposals from the last three years
01:04:16Were piled up in every corner
01:04:18Marcus, out of all these suitors
01:04:20Who do you think brings the most value to the team?
01:04:21Where the Winchester family stands today
01:04:22And Alliance is just icing on the cake
01:04:24Then who's the best looking?
01:04:26Seeing Marcus hesitate
01:04:27I pulled out a random file
01:04:30Davis Stewart
01:04:31This one's fine
01:04:32You might want to reconsider that one
01:04:35Why?
01:04:36Because his reputation is garbage
01:04:38All he does is drink and play
01:04:40And he doesn't know shit about politics or business
01:04:42A notorious degenerate
01:04:44I looked him up and down
01:04:45Then glanced back at the proposal in my hand
01:04:47You look better than your picture
01:04:49You little shit!
01:04:50You dare scale a Winchester wall?
01:04:52You want me to break your legs?
01:04:55Marcus, let's go with him
01:04:57Clean up your mess with Julian
01:04:59And I'll be back to marry you in seven days
01:05:02With that, he vaulted backward over the wall
01:05:06What a useless little punk
01:05:10Not entirely useless
01:05:11At least he's well informed
01:05:13If a piece of trash like that
01:05:14Could find out about me and Julian this fast
01:05:17Then he isn't trash at all
01:05:18That evening, I went out
01:05:20I sat in a pavilion
01:05:21Waiting for Julian to show
01:05:23He sat across from me
01:05:25And dismissed all my men with a single glance
01:05:27I sipped my whiskey
01:05:29Casually flipping through a business magazine
01:05:31The baby she's carrying
01:05:34Is it yours?
01:05:36He didn't answer for a long time
01:05:38Just quietly shelled a few nuts for me
01:05:41Miss, uh, Julian, excuse the interruption
01:05:43Miss, here are the files you asked for
01:05:45I leaned back
01:05:46Casually lit a cigarette
01:05:47And began skimming her background check
01:05:49Julian, however, couldn't sit still anymore
01:05:52I'm the one who wronged you
01:05:53But her showing up
01:05:54It made me want a peaceful life
01:05:56She can wait for me
01:05:57But the baby can't
01:05:58I want to give them legal status
01:06:00I won't let my kid be born a bastard
01:06:02If you wanted a peaceful life
01:06:04You shouldn't have messed with me in the first place
01:06:05Julian pulled a vintage coin bracelet from his inside pocket
01:06:09The one thing you loved most three years ago
01:06:12I've travelled all over the world
01:06:13But I've finally collected every piece
01:06:16You think a bracelet is going to make me write this off?
01:06:19Julian, I'm a Winchester
01:06:20Did you just meet me today?
01:06:27I'm sorry
01:06:27Take my life if you want
01:06:29But please
01:06:30Can you spare her?
01:06:32I smiled and stood up
01:06:34I took one last drag of my cigarette
01:06:36Looking around for an ashtray
01:06:37Left with no choice
01:06:39Julian raised his open hands toward me
01:06:41His eyes dark with resignation
01:06:43I crushed the cherry of the cigarette
01:06:44Right into his bare palm
01:06:46He took the burn without daring to make a single sound
01:06:49Then go die right now
01:06:53I pulled my custom subcompact pistol from my purse
01:06:56Toying with it in my hand with amusement
01:06:59Is this how you tricked that little girl?
01:07:01With pretty words?
01:07:03Julian, if pretty words could solve our problems
01:07:05The Winchester family wouldn't be the ones sitting on the throne today
01:07:09I grabbed my purse and headed toward the main estate
01:07:12My bodyguard hurried after me
01:07:14Miss, you left this
01:07:15I noticed he was still holding that vintage coin bracelet in his hand
01:07:18The bracelet might be worth a few bucks
01:07:20Keep it
01:07:20Thank you, miss
01:07:21In the main parlor
01:07:22A few of the family elders smiled and welcomed me in
01:07:25The second I sat down
01:07:26Luna grabbed my hand
01:07:28Little princess
01:07:29I heard you and Julian are very close
01:07:31And that he's the only one you listened to
01:07:33Once we're married next month
01:07:34You should still come around often
01:07:35Just like before
01:07:36She smiled warmly
01:07:37But there was a calculated edge of amusement in her eyes
01:07:40She pulled out her phone
01:07:42Chloe, we should exchange numbers, don't you think?
01:07:44Her lock screen was a photo of her and Julian
01:07:47Oh right, silly me
01:07:48I'm looking at Julian's old contact list
01:07:50Little princess
01:07:51Julian didn't save any names
01:07:52Which one is you?
01:07:53She beamed at me
01:07:54The elders sitting across from us had already sensed the tension in the room
01:07:57She was giving me a show of strength
01:07:59I took a glance at the screen
01:08:00It was definitely Julian's old account
01:08:02Since she wanted to know so badly
01:08:04I didn't mind telling her
01:08:05Did she really think the two of them still had any power to hurt me?
01:08:09What do you mean no names?
01:08:10The one saved as baby, that's me
01:08:12Luna never expected me to own up to it so shamelessly
01:08:16The colour instantly drained from her face
01:08:21You two must be really close
01:08:23Is this you?
01:08:24She held up the phone
01:08:25Pretending to show it to me
01:08:26But framing it so everyone at the table could see
01:08:29The screen was packed with paragraphs of text
01:08:31Me caring for Julian
01:08:33Asking if he was safe
01:08:34And telling him how much I missed him
01:08:36My phone broke
01:08:36So I've been using his
01:08:41Little princess
01:08:42Julian probably never even saw these messages
01:08:45Should I send them to him for you?
01:08:53Go show it to Julian
01:08:54Yes miss
01:08:57He snatched the phone right out of Luna's hand
01:09:00And handed it to Julian as he walked up
01:09:04Julian barely gave the chat history a glance
01:09:06But when his eyes landed on the bodyguard's wrist
01:09:09He froze
01:09:11Where did you get that?
01:09:13Miss wanted me to show you the phone, sir
01:09:15I'm talking about the bracelet
01:09:17Where did you get it?
01:09:18It was a gift from Miss Winchester
01:09:19Julian's eyes instantly darkened
01:09:22Into something volatile and unreadable
01:09:24He pulled out the chair
01:09:25And sat down right next to me
01:09:30Sitting here
01:09:31Might be a bit hard to explain to your fiancé
01:09:33If I don't sit here
01:09:35It'd be hard to explain to you
01:09:37He stayed by my side until the dinner officially began
01:09:40Casually serving me food off and on
01:09:43Just as dinner was winding down
01:09:45He suddenly spoke
01:09:46His voice completely cold
01:09:47Why give away something you loved?
01:09:49Are we talking about the bracelet?
01:09:52Or a person?
01:09:53This time
01:09:54It was his turn to shut up
01:09:58That evening
01:09:59I went out
01:10:00I sat in a pavilion
01:10:01Waiting for Julian to show
01:10:03He sat across from me
01:10:05And dismissed all my men
01:10:06With a single glance
01:10:07I sipped my whiskey
01:10:09Casually flipping through a business magazine
01:10:11The baby she's carrying
01:10:13Is it yours?
01:10:16He didn't answer for a long time
01:10:18Just quietly shelled a few nuts for me
01:10:21Miss, uh, Julian
01:10:22Excuse the interruption
01:10:23Miss, here are the files you asked for
01:10:25I leaned back
01:10:26Casually lit a cigarette
01:10:27And began skimming her background check
01:10:29Julian, however
01:10:30Couldn't sit still anymore
01:10:32I'm the one who wronged you
01:10:33But her showing up
01:10:34It made me want a peaceful life
01:10:36She can wait for me
01:10:37But the baby can't
01:10:38I want to give them legal status
01:10:40I won't let my kid be born a bastard
01:10:42If you wanted a peaceful life
01:10:44You shouldn't have messed with me
01:10:45In the first place
01:10:45Julian pulled a vintage coin bracelet
01:10:47From his inside pocket
01:10:49The one thing you loved most
01:10:50Three years ago
01:10:52I've travelled all over the world
01:10:53But I've finally collected every piece
01:10:56You think a bracelet
01:10:57Is going to make me write this off?
01:10:59Julian, I'm a Winchester
01:11:00Did you just meet me today?
01:11:07I'm sorry
01:11:08Take my life if you want
01:11:09But please
01:11:10Can you spare her?
01:11:12I smiled and stood up
01:11:14I took one last drag of my cigarette
01:11:16Looking around for an ashtray
01:11:17Left with no choice
