00:00As I spoke, her nose tingled, and tears fell onto his freshly washed fur.
00:05Actually, I'm just as pitiful as you are.
00:08I'm Maeve.
00:09My parents dated on my elder sister so fiercely they sold me into slavery to fund her match with a
00:14wealthy noble.
00:15So, just like you, I'm unwanted.
00:17From now on, shall we live together?
00:20I hugged Snowy, tears silently streaming from my eyes,
00:23completely unaware that Snowy's golden pupils had subtly contract,
00:26and his gaze had fallen on my hands, which were covered in wounds.
00:29A faint, unreadable spark flickered in his amber irises.
00:32I took Snowy back to my dwelling.
00:34I retrieved the potion that had been clearlessly thawed into the corner in my earlier panic,
00:38and re-bandaged the wounds that had gotten wet.
00:41After bandaging the wounds, I couldn't hold on any longer,
00:44and collapsed into the haystack, falling asleep.
00:47In my dream, I was freezing cold all over, grongily curled into a ball.
00:51Just as I was about to freeze to death, a scorching hot object pressed against me.
00:55Half asleep, half awake, I saw that familiar, handsome face again.
00:58My honed consciously reached for his abdomen, and feeling was still familiar.
01:02Am I dreaming?
01:04What a great body.
01:07This time, I accidentally spoke my inner thoughts aloud.
01:11After speaking, I grongily fell asleep again.
01:14Of course, I didn't know that when I touched this imperial palace nobleman like that,
01:18his body trembled, and the tips of his ears flushed bright remsen.
01:22He forcefully suppressed the restlessness and wildness within him,
01:26letting a little slave like me touch him so brazenly.
01:29Later, it seemed the fever was really severe.
01:31In my Danes, I heard the room door open and then close.
01:35A gust of cold wind swept in.
01:37I shivered, and then completely passed on.
01:42Duke Kale is back.
01:44I heard that this person, whose power is compared to that of the Empire's ruler,
01:48immediately targeted Princess Lila upon his return,
01:51arranged to dispatch her to a rival Raysian as a political bride to settle border hostilities.
01:56However, the struggles of these powerful figures have nothing to do with me.
02:00Every day, I worry about Snowy.
02:03His back injury hasn't healed yet,
02:05and those investigators still haven't left completely.
02:07What if he's caught?
02:08He leaves in such a hurry.
02:11Half a month later, another good piece of news arrived from the palace.
02:15That cold-bloodied and ruthless Duke Kale is getting married,
02:18said the little slave beside me, scrubbing clothes, her eyes shining.
02:22I heard he personally went to propose.
02:24I heard he drove a carriage full of fresh flowers
02:26and brought the brightest ring just to get a glimpse of that girl.
02:30My hands continued scrubbing clothes.
02:32What does that have it do with us?
02:35The little slave leaned in and whispered, mysteriously,
02:38That family has the same surname as you.
02:41The woman he planned to bide was called Iris.
02:43My mind went blank.
02:46Iris? Isn't that my twin sister?
02:49I didn't know the reason.
02:50I just felt strange in my heart.
02:53Didn't she marry into nobility?
02:54How know the Duke take an eye interest her?
03:00The little slave nudged me.
03:01Maeve, what are you spatting out for?
03:03I came back to my senses, looking at the various cuts and wounds on my hands,
03:08feeling a mix of emotions.
03:10But I was sent into the slave camp for my sister in the first place.
03:14At least she'll have a good life now.
03:16It's nothing. I'm sure they'll live happily.
03:19I forced a bitter smile and went back to scrubbing laundry.
03:22In the days leading up to the wedding,
03:24the entire empire was discussing Duke Kale's marriage.
03:28Everyone said that the girl was just an ordinary person, even an omega,
03:32and that she and Duke Kale were like heaven and earth.
03:35He didn't even glance at the imperial princess,
03:37who was originally the most suitable match.
03:40Lying on my bed, I thought of Snowy inside.
03:43Duke Kyle is so good to the one he loves.
03:45I wonder when love like that will ever find me.
03:48Little did I know, a farce was unfolding within the castle at this very moment.
03:55You're courting death!
03:57Steward Mara insidiently flew into a rage and in her fury swing the bamboo stick hard at me.
04:02The pain and cold almost made me hallucinate.
04:05I seemed to see those golden defiant beast eyes smiling at me.
04:09Snowy, is that you?
04:10Another whip slashed through the air, and I finally couldn't hold on any longer and passed out.
04:16Steward Mara spat in my direction, then looked at me with an expression as if I were trash.
04:21Bitch! Throw her into that storage room.
04:23That room is drafty on all sides, and we shall see if the frigid knight claims her life.
04:28I clutched the canine tooth pendant tightly in my hand,
04:31its sharp tip almost piercing my skin, but I still refused to let go.
04:35The group of people following the steward's orders had no choice but to throw me into the storage room
04:40like a piece of garbage.
04:41Just when I thought I was about to die, a loud bang broke the silence.
04:45The gate of the slave camp was kicked open.
04:47The camp guards barely had time to unshave their blades,
04:50before a rearing steed sent them flying, coughing up blood.
04:54Who?
04:56Recognizing the newcomer as Duke Kale,
04:58Stuart Mara, who had just been shouting, immediately fell silent.
05:01Then, a malicious thief suddenly occurred to her.
05:04Princess Lyra had always been infatuated with Kale,
05:07and Duke Kale's private intration into the palace was now a perfect handle for her.
05:12A Med the Thurvich wrote,
05:13she looked agamorbin attendant who ondicompanyed her,
05:16immediately her to go out through the side door and fetch Princess Lyra.
05:19Duke Kale didn't notice these small movements.
05:22He dismounted from his horse,
05:23his eyes gloomily fixed on the ice shards mixed with bloody water by the pond.
05:27Rage surged within him, and a low growl the wave escaped throat.
05:31Where is Maeve?
05:36I trembled, reaching out to fate to cover his gushing wound.
05:39Tears welling up, Princess Liva laughed maniacally.
05:42The knights fought desperately to protect us,
05:45controlling Lyra amidst the clash of weapons.
05:47Kale's face was ashen, his breath weak.
05:50My life has belonged to you ever since you saved me.
05:53I would never regret giving my life to keep you safe.
05:55Tears flowed controllably.
05:58Kale, I love you, I won't let you die.
06:01You promised me you'd tell the whole world you love me most.
06:03You can't leave me.
06:04The man in my arms suddenly gave a light cough,
06:07slowly opened his eyes,
06:09a mischievous smile in their depths.
06:11Did you just say you like me?
06:13Did I hear you correctly?
06:14It turned out the poisoned arrow had narrowly missed his heart.
06:17He was severely injured and weak,
06:19but not in mortal danger.
06:21I was both angry and relieved,
06:23and quickly called for help.
06:25After diagnosis,
06:26it was confirmed he only needed more rest to fully recover.
06:29Meanwhile, Lyra was defeated and captured.
06:32Her hair diswevelled.
06:34Kale, enduring his pain.
06:36Throw her into the palace dungeon.
06:38That night, the Wolf King issued orders overnight.
06:42Fearing Kale's power and to appease his rage,
06:44the Wolf King stripped Lyra of her royal title,
06:47exiled her from the Wolf Clan,
06:49and marked her as a feral outcast.
06:51Not only that, to show favor and pacify the Duke,
06:53the Emperor personally blessed Kale and me.
06:55The Omega everyone once looked down of had finally risen.
06:59No one would ever look down of me again.
07:01Once his injuries had somewhat healed,
07:03Kale publicly declared his intention to formally marry me.
07:06Almost every fluential Wolf Kane in the kingdom,
07:08there were still some present who looked down on Omegas.
07:11Jengmai Orange was humble,
07:13weipiladzujongzujur,
07:14and against ancestral customs.
07:16Kale publicly deflated the Wolf King's personal decree.
07:19The Wolf King himself has blessed our union.
07:22Should you have any further objections?
