Short filmTranscript
00:00Every hundred years, the kingdom of Varya gave birth to an oracle, a woman blessed with
00:05the power to see the future.
00:07In my previous life, King Aurarian dreamed of the oracle and ordered portraits of a young
00:13woman to be posted throughout the realm.
00:16After seeing the portrait, Seraphina used forbidden sorcery to swap faces with me.
00:22She even recreated my star signal on her own shoulder and took my place in the royal palace.
00:28But she possessed no gift of prophecy.
00:31The royal family exposed her deception before long and threw her into the dungeon cells to
00:37await execution.
00:38Meanwhile, wearing her face, I married into the Ashborough family.
00:42I went from being Varya's unacknowledged daughter to the Mister of Ashborough Manor.
00:47I visited her in the dungeons.
00:49She forced poison down my throat.
00:51You stole my life!
00:53My life!
00:54The face I wore was yours, so you should be the one who dies!
01:01When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day the king began searching for the
01:07oracle.
01:07This time, Seraphina did not try to exchange faces with me.
01:11She stared at the portrait hanging on the city wall, then suddenly smiled and tore down
01:15the royal seal proclamation.
01:17In front of everyone, she pointed directly at me.
01:20My sister, Alara, is the oracle from the king's dream.
01:28The moment Seraphina finished sleeping, silence fell over the cloud outside the city gates.
01:34In the next instant, royal knights surrounded our carriage.
01:37The captain compared the portrait to my face.
01:40Lady Alara, please come with us to the royal palace for oracle verification.
01:43My stepmother's expression changed instantly.
01:46She grabbed Seraphina's hand and lowered her voice.
01:49Have you lost your mind?
01:50If the oracle is destined to stand beside the king, how can you hand such an opportunity
01:55to her?
01:56Seraphina merely smiled with calm confidence.
01:59Mother, I know exactly what I'm doing.
02:01She turned to me, her tone dripping with false generosity.
02:04Alara, I'm personally delivering you to the king.
02:08Don't forget this favor in the future.
02:10I said nothing, because I already understood.
02:13She had returned with memories of our previous life as well.
02:15She wanted me to walk into the very place where she had died once before.
02:19Seraphina believed she had given me the road to death while keeping the road to survival for
02:22herself.
02:23What she didn't know was this.
02:24I had never been a fake oracle.
02:26Only after entering the royal palace did I discover I wasn't the only candidate.
02:30All potential oracles were housed in Starlight Abbey beside the palace grounds.
02:34The great hall was crowded with young women.
02:36Some came from noble families.
02:37Others came from remote villages.
02:39Each bore some resemblance to the portrait, and nearly all carried some kind of birthmark.
02:43A nun stopped in front of me.
02:45Raise your head.
02:46Expose your left shoulder.
02:47I obeyed.
02:48The moment she saw the star signal on my shoulder, she nodded.
02:51You stay.
02:52Nearby, a girl burst into tears as she tried to explain herself.
02:55My birthmark is only a little lighter.
02:58I really was chosen by the stars.
03:00The nun waved her away without hesitation.
03:02Take her out.
03:03The royal family has no need for liars.
03:04As the girl was dragged away, she continued screaming and crying.
03:09At last, I understood.
03:11This was no sacred sanctuary.
03:13It was a place built to eliminate failures.
03:16That evening, Seraphina came to see me.
03:19Dressed in an elegant gown suitable for visiting Ashboro Manor, she stood outside the doorway and smiled at me.
03:24How do you like it here?
03:25I looked up at her.
03:28You seemed very happy.
03:30Of course.
03:31She stepped closer and lowered her voice.
03:34Elara, you don't actually believe you'll become someone important at the kingside, do you?
03:39I didn't answer.
03:40She stared at my face, her smile growing wider.
03:43There are hundreds of oracles in the palace.
03:47When they discover you're a fraud, your death won't be pleasant.
03:51Once the gates of Starlight Abbey closed, they remained shut for three full months.
03:57Every day, the nuns asked the same question.
04:00Show us your left shoulder.
04:02Anyone whose birthmark was the wrong color was taken away.
04:06Anyone who looked too different from the portrait was taken away.
04:09Some girls sobbed and insisted they had been chosen by the stars.
04:12The nuns simply closed their record books with icy indifference.
04:16Send her to the dungeon cells.
04:17Three months later, only five of us remained in the hall.
04:21A nuns stopped in front of me.
04:23Tomorrow, you will meet the king.
04:25There can be only one true oracle.
04:28That night, I had just closed my eyes when a hand suddenly clamped over my mouth.
04:33Pain shot through my entire body.
04:35A blade sliced across my left shoulder.
04:38In the darkness, someone whispered beside my ear.
04:40Without that birthmark, what chance do you have left?
04:49I smelled roses.
04:51Serafina.
04:52After the intruder left, I reached for my left shoulder.
04:54My hand came away covered in blood.
04:56My star sigil had been ruined.
04:58The next morning, I stood in the great hall of the royal palace with a cloak draped over my shoulders.
05:03King Orion looked at me.
05:05Why are you hiding your shoulder?
05:07Someone destroyed my birthmark last night.
05:09Standing beside Queen Isleth, Serafina let out a soft laugh.
05:12Starlight Abbey is heavily guarded. Who would risk everything just to harm an unknown girl?
05:18Then, before anyone could respond, she loosened her shulk and revealed her left shoulder.
05:22The hall fell silent.
05:24Everyone saw the star signal on Serafina's shoulder.
05:27It looked exactly like mine.
05:29But I knew the truth.
05:31It was fake.
05:33Isleth's gaze turned icy as she looked at me.
05:35The stars would never choose a girl.
05:38Her own family kept hidden.
05:40Then she turned to Serafina, her expression immediately softening.
05:43Only the publicly acknowledged heir of House Vere deserves to stand before the king.
05:49The nobles around the hall nodded in agreement.
05:52Serafina lowered her head and adopted a look of humble devotion.
05:56Your majesty, the truth is I've been dreaming of you for years.
06:00King Oradian's eyes sharpened instantly.
06:03You've dreamed of me?
06:04Yes.
06:05The dreams were so private that I never dared tell anyone.
06:08The king stepped down from the throne and stared at her.
06:10Then tell me, what did you see?
06:13Serafina moved closer and whispered several words into his ear.
06:16The king's expression changed immediately.
06:18How could you possibly know that?
06:19She lifted her eyes to his, tears shimmering within them.
06:23Because I am the one the stars sent to your side.
06:25Garthus swept through the hall.
06:27Isleth smiled.
06:28Your majesty, the person you've been searching for has finally appeared.
06:32I watched as Serafina became the center of everyone's attention.
06:34Of course she knew the king's secrets.
06:36In our previous life, she had spent months in the royal palace at his side.
06:40As the king prepared to declare her the oracle, I finally spoke.
06:43Your majesty, you've mistaken the wrong person.
06:45The instant the words left my mouth, every eye in the hall turned toward me.
06:49The smile froze on Serafina's face.
06:51She had never expected me to stand up at this moment.
06:54The king frowned.
06:55You're saying I've chosen the wrong person?
06:57I met his gaze without hesitation.
06:59Yes, she isn't the oracle.
07:01I am.
07:03The nobles immediately erupted into whispers.
07:06Some said I had lost my mind.
07:08Others claimed I simply could not accept being eliminated.
07:11Still others argued that a girl hidden away by her own family had no right to stand in this hall.
07:15The king's voice cut through the noise.
07:17Where is your proof?
07:18I met his gaze.
07:20The most important proof of an oracle has never been a birthmark.
07:24A birthmark can be forged.
07:26Dreams can be overheard.
07:29But the future cannot.
07:31For a brief moment, the hall fell silent.
07:34Serafina's face changed.
07:35I knew exactly what frightened her.
07:39In our previous life, she had been exposed because she could never speak of the future.
07:43She immediately let out a cold laugh.
07:45Alara, do you even realize who you're speaking to?
07:48If you dare fabricate prophecies, you'll deceive a royal family.
07:51And that carries a death sentence.
07:52I looked at her calmly.
07:55Serafina, I haven't even finished speaking yet.
07:57How do you already know I'm making it up?
08:00The king suddenly spoke.
08:01Let her continue.
08:02His eyes remained fixed on me.
08:04If you truly are the oracle, prove it.
08:07I smiled.
08:08Gladly.
08:08I've been waiting for this moment.
08:11Looking directly at the king, I spoke each word clearly.
08:14Within three years, the West Resht Highlands will be consumed by black frost.
08:19The wheat fields will rot.
08:21The granaries will stand empty.
08:23And then the Frost Bay raiders will land on the North March coast.
08:29The hall was completely silent.
08:31Then a noble scoffed.
08:32Anyone can invent a disaster like that.
08:35I ignored him and kept my eyes on the king.
08:38The first fortress to fall will be Black Pine Keep.
08:42The first man to betray you will be Sir Rowan.
08:45And the first army you send to the North March coast will be wiped out to the last soldier.
08:50Little by little, the color drained from the king's face.
08:53Suddenly, Serafina shouted.
08:55That's enough!
08:56She turned toward the king, her voice urgent.
08:58Your Majesty!
08:59She must have overheard my dreams.
09:02Everything she's saying was stolen from me.
09:04The nobles immediately began murmuring among themselves.
09:07Isolde's voice was icy.
09:09In other words, she cannot prove those prophecies belong to her.
09:14At last, Serafina relaxed.
09:16She looked at me with undisguised triumph.
09:17After a long silence, the king finally spoke.
09:20Since the truth cannot yet be determined,
09:23both of you will remain in the royal palace for the time being.
09:26Serafina's eyes lit up.
09:27I knew exactly what she was thinking.
09:29As long as she stayed, she would still have opportunities to get close to the king.
09:33She could still walk the same path she had taken in her previous life.
09:38But I lifted my head and addressed the king directly.
09:40The oracle belongs to the kingdom, not to the royal palace.
09:45The moment I finished speaking, silence swept through the hall.
09:49Isolde was the first to frown.
09:50Are you refusing the king?
09:51I looked at her evenly.
09:53I'm refusing to become a trophy locked inside the royal palace.
09:56Serafina immediately sneered.
09:58Alara, you're only afraid that if you stay, everyone will discover you're a fraud.
10:02I ignored her and turned back to the king.
10:04The ancient laws of Valeria state this clearly.
10:06An oracle may warn the king, but the royal family has no right to imprison her.
10:11If a king violates the covenant of the stars, disaster will strike the royal palace before
10:15anywhere else.
10:16The moment those words left my mouth, the expressions of every noble in the hall changed.
10:22The king stared at me.
10:23His gaze was dark.
10:25Yet he gave no order to seize me.
10:28I knew why.
10:29He wasn't willing to gamble.
10:31In our previous life, before Serafina was thrown into the dungeon cells,
10:34everyone in the royal palace had feared one thing.
10:37A false oracle would bring calamity.
10:39But offending a true oracle could cost the kingdom the protection of the stars.
10:43After a long silence, the king finally spoke.
10:46You may return to House Vere for now.
10:47Serafina's head snapped up.
10:49Her eyes burned with frustration.
10:51She had only just gained a foothold, and I had personally torn it away from her.
10:55As we left the palace grounds, she rushed after me and raised her hand to slap me.
11:00I caught her wrist before it could land.
11:02Through clenched teeth, she hissed.
11:05Alara, you ruined my chance to stay in the royal palace.
11:09I smiled at her.
11:10A path that can be destroyed with a few words was never yours to begin with.
11:15Serafina yanked her hand free and said coldly,
11:17Don't get too pleased with yourself.
11:19I still have the marriage contract with the Ashbrook family.
11:23After speaking, Serafina turned and climbed into the carriage.
11:27I knew exactly where she was headed.
11:29In our previous life, she had despised the Ashbrook family's decline, so she stole my identity as the oracle and
11:36took her place in the royal palace.
11:38Meanwhile, wearing her face, I had fulfilled the marriage contract on her behalf and married into the Ashbrook family.
11:44Everyone assumed the house was reduced to an empty noble title, but later, Cedric defended the North March coast, and
11:51the Ashbergs regained their place in the noble council.
11:53This time, with Serafina unable to enter the royal palace, she aimed to seize the marriage contract instead.
11:59She thought she could take away every path to my survival.
12:02What she didn't know was that I had arrived at Ashbrook Manor before her.
12:06After leaving the palace, I changed into men's clothes and assumed the alias Eli.
12:11Cedric was studying a map of the North March coast when I arrived.
12:15I placed a manuscript in front of him.
12:17Black Pine Keep will be in danger.
12:19He looked up at me.
12:20Who are you?
12:21I replied, someone who can help you defend the North March coast.
12:25He did not immediately believe me, but he also did not turn me away.
12:30We talked all night.
12:31At dawn, the sound of a carriage echoed outside the manor gates.
12:36Cedric looked out.
12:39The Vea carriage.
12:41I smiled.
12:42Serafina had arrived.
12:44She believed she was there to claim the marriage contract, unaware that the Ashburns no longer waited for her.
12:53Serafina stood at the gates of Ashbrook Manor, her face dark with displeasure.
12:57The guards did not let her in.
12:59She pressed forward, voice sharp with suppressed anger.
13:02I want to see Lady Ashbrook.
13:04Madam does not receive visitors.
13:06The guard bowed his head.
13:07Serafina ground her teeth.
13:09Then summon Cedric.
13:10The moment her words left mouth the gates opened.
13:12Cedric stepped out, holding a letter which she handed to her.
13:16Miss Vea, Ashburn Manor formally terminates your marriage contract.
13:19Serafina went pale instantly.
13:20Terminate the contract?
13:22This marriage was agreed upon long ago by both families.
13:25Since you sought entry to the royal palace by claiming to be the oracle,
13:29you should no longer demand the Ashburgs fulfill this contract.
13:32Serafina opened her mouth but could not find words.
13:35She probably never imagined a house she had once scorned would reject her.
13:38Then, she saw me emerge from the manor, still in men's clothes, cloaked.
13:43Her eyes widened in disbelief.
13:45Allura?
13:45Cedric frowned and stepped in front of me.
13:48Miss Vea, please do not humiliate my friend.
13:51Serafina suddenly laughed.
13:53Friend?
13:54She pointed at me, voice shocked.
13:56Cedric, you don't even know she's a woman, do you?
14:01Cedric looked back at me, his expression stiffening.
14:04Serafina seized the moment, stepping forward immediately.
14:07She is not Eli.
14:08She is Alara, the hidden daughter of House Vea.
14:12She approached you only to steal my marriage contract.
14:16Before I could speak, Cedric turned back to her.
14:18Miss Vea, terminating the contract is my decision.
14:20It has nothing to do with Eli.
14:22Serafina's face darkened.
14:24You would rather believe someone who lied about their name?
14:26Cedric's voice remained calm.
14:28At least he came to me for the North March coast.
14:30And you came only because the royal palace did not keep you.
14:34Serafina was left speechless.
14:36In the end, she could only put Lutch the letter terminating the contract and leave in defeat.
14:43Once her carriage disappeared, Cedric finally turned to me.
14:46Eli, you really are a woman.
14:48I looked at his nervous expression and couldn't help but smile.
14:51The same man who had been composed and deceived on the battlefield now looked like a child who had just
14:55been tricked.
14:56I nodded seriously.
14:57Yes.
14:58He visibly relaxed.
15:01Good.
15:02I turned my face away and laughed quietly to myself.
15:06But Serafina would not surrender so easily.
15:09Losing the Ashburys would only make her even more desperate to seize the royal palace.
15:15The marriage contract with the Ashburys had been terminated.
15:18Serafina did not appear for three full days after returning to House Veya.
15:23But I knew she would not give up.
15:25Having lost the Ashburys, she would inevitably set her sights on the royal palace once more.
15:30Sure enough, on the fourth morning, royal knights arrived at House Veya.
15:34Her Majesty summons Miss Allura and Miss Serafina.
15:37The royal astrologer observed the stars last night and reported an unusual omen for Valeria.
15:42My stepmother's face paled slightly at this news.
15:45Serafina descended from the upper floor.
15:47She wore the most extravagant gown.
15:49The false birthmark on her left shoulder subtly concealed beneath sheer fabric.
15:54She looked at me, her smile calm and confident.
15:56Elara, it seems the king still needs an oracle.
15:59I said nothing.
16:00She stepped closer and whispered so only we could hear.
16:04You think that because the Ashburys rejected me, I've lost?
16:09My father has already seen the royal astrologer.
16:13He will tell me what prophecy the king wants to hear today.
16:16I met her gaze.
16:18I understood.
16:19In our previous life, she had relied on House Veya's wealth and influence to secure her position in the royal
16:25palace.
16:26This time, she still wanted to walk the same path.
16:29Only now, the person standing in front of her was no longer unaware of the truth.
16:34Serafina whispered behind me.
16:36Today, you will witness me become the true oracle.
16:42The atmosphere in the royal palace hall was even more impressive than before.
16:46King Aurelion sat on the throne, his expression grave.
16:49The royal astrologer stood nearby, holding the celestial disc.
16:52The king's gaze swept over us.
16:54Last night, the stars displayed an unusual alignment.
16:57The royal astrologer has already calculated Valeria's destiny for the coming years.
17:02Whoever's words align with his calculations will be closest to the true oracle.
17:06Serafina stepped forward immediately.
17:09Your majesty, allow me to speak first.
17:13The king nodded.
17:14She closed her eyes, feigning the inspiration of the stars.
17:21In the coming years, Valeria will enjoy abundant harvests.
17:25All regional lords will remain loyal to the crown.
17:28Though the North March coast may face minor unrest, the king's knights will surely triumph.
17:33As soon as she finished, the royal astrologer lowered his head.
17:36Your majesty, what Miss Serafina says is entirely consistent with the stars.
17:40A low murmur of admiration swept through the hall.
17:43Serafina looked at me, her eyes shining with pride.
17:46Allara, now it's your turn.
17:49She imagined me being dragged into the dungeon cells.
17:53The king also looked at me.
17:55And you?
17:55Do the stars you've seen show Valeria the same way?
17:58I lifted my eyes to the celestial disk in the astrologer's hands.
18:02The engravings matched exactly what I had seen in my previous life.
18:05They thought they had bribed destiny itself.
18:08My prophecy is the complete opposite of hers.
18:12The moment my words fell, the hall fell utterly silent.
18:15Serafina's smile froze.
18:16The royal astrologer's brow furrowed.
18:18I looked at the king, speaking each word deliberately.
18:23Within three years, the Westreach Highlands will be consumed by black frost.
18:27The wheat fields will rot.
18:28The granaries will stand empty.
18:30Then the Frostbay raiders will land on the Northmarch coast.
18:33Nonsense!
18:36The royal astrologer's voice turned cold.
18:39Miss Serafina, the stars show the kingdom is safe.
18:43You are cursing Valeria.
18:45The king's face darkened.
18:47Do you realize what you are saying?
18:50If you are wrong, you are deceiving the royal family.
18:54I looked at him and suddenly smiled.
18:56Your Majesty, you've already heard these words before.
19:00The king stiffened.
19:02In a dream, a young girl ignored everyone and ran to your side.
19:07She told you the Westreach Highlands would be destroyed by black frost.
19:11She told you the Northmarch coast would fall.
19:14The king's hands clenched tightly.
19:17I stepped forward, lowering my voice.
19:22Your Majesty, you seek the oracle not out of reverence, but because you feared that dream would come true.
19:30As my words finished, the king's expression completely shifted.
19:36Serafina immediately spoke.
19:38Your Majesty, she is lying.
19:40She only wishes to frighten you.
19:42Your Majesty, the stars have never shown such a disaster for the kingdom.
20:15I looked at him.
20:15You would prepare the food and fortify the chain of castles along the Northmarch coast.
20:18In three years, many would die in Valeria.
20:21She knelt before you, begging you to believe her.
20:24But you had her dragged away.
20:26The king's hand trembled violently, I continued.
20:30Afterwards, every night, you dreamt of her.
20:33Dreamt of her standing among fire and corpses, staring at you.
20:38That is why you had her portrait painted and displayed throughout the kingdom.
20:42The king staggered.
20:43All the nobles looked at him.
20:46His silence spoke volumes.
20:49Then, in the next moment, he descended from the throne and knelt before me.
20:56The hall was deathly silent.
20:59Everyone watched as the king knelt before me.
21:02It is you?
21:03Orion's voice trembled.
21:05The girl from the dream?
21:06It truly is you?
21:07He lifted his eyes to meet mine, filled with fear and regret.
21:12I did not summon you to enter the royal palace.
21:15Isolde's face went pale.
21:17But because I was afraid.
21:19Afraid that the dream was real.
21:21Orion, you are the king.
21:24You cannot kneel to a girl from Ausver.
21:26But the king did not rise.
21:28He looked at me, his voice hoarse.
21:30If the future she spoke of is true, I am not kneeling to her.
21:33I am kneeling for Valoria's last chance to survive.
21:36The nobles in the hall finally realized the truth.
21:39One by one, they lowered themselves to their knees.
21:42Seraphina stood among them, her face pale.
21:44She could not believe that the identity she had fought for over two lifetimes had ended up in my hands.
21:48He suddenly rushed forward.
21:50Impossible!
21:50She is not the oracle!
21:52She is just the hidden daughter of House Vier!
21:55Seraphina, do you still not understand?
21:57I looked at her calmly.
21:58The oracle has never been recognized by her family.
22:01She is recognized by the future.
22:04I raised my hand, pointing at her left shoulder.
22:07And your birthmark is fake.
22:11Seraphina instinctively covered her left shoulder.
22:13But it was too late.
22:14All eyes in the hall turned toward her.
22:17I walked up to her.
22:18Did you really think that destroying my birthmark and carving the same pattern on your own shoulder
22:23would make you the oracle?
22:24You're lying!
22:25I looked at the king.
22:26The true star sigil is never just a mark on the skin.
22:29When an oracle approaches the celestial disk, the sigil will glow.
22:33The royal astrologer's face went white.
22:36He knew I was telling the truth.
22:37The king immediately ordered the celestial disk brought forward.
22:41Seraphina tried to step back, but a knight blocked her.
22:43The disk was placed before her.
22:45Her shoulder's star sigil showed no reaction.
22:48A low murmur of astonishment ran through the hall.
22:52Seraphina panicked.
22:55Impossible!
22:56The disk must be broken!
22:57I loosened my cloak, revealing my scratched left shoulder.
23:01The blood still stained it.
23:02But as I approached the disk, the remaining star sigil beneath the wound suddenly glowed with a
23:08faint silver light.
23:09The king closed his eyes.
23:10Isolde could not speak.
23:13The royal astrologer collapsed to his knees with a thud.
23:16Your majesty, I am guilty.
23:19Seraphina glared at him sharply.
23:21Shut up!
23:21But the astrologer was already afraid.
23:24House Vary bought me!
23:27The royal astrologer knelt on the floor, his voice trembling.
23:31House Vary gave me gold.
23:32They made me tell Miss Seraphathvana the real positions of the stars and made me prove today
23:37that she was the oracle.
23:41Seraphina's face went completely pale.
23:44She shouted in protest.
23:47You're lying!
23:49I am the one chosen by the stars!
23:53Alara is just a girl no one acknowledges!
23:56As the hall went silent instantly, the king's expression darkened.
24:00I, however, smiled.
24:02In both past and present lives, Seraphina had always looked down on my origins.
24:06She thought that because House Vary did not recognize me, I was unworthy of anything.
24:11Unworthy to be the oracle.
24:13Unworthy to enter the royal palace.
24:15Unworthy to marry into the Ashborough family.
24:18But she forgot that the stars do not care about family lineage.
24:22The king spoke coldly.
24:25Take her away!
24:26The knights immediately stepped forward.
24:28Seraphina struggled, shouting.
24:31Your Majesty, you cannot trust her!
24:33She will destroy Valyria!
24:36I watched her being dragged away.
24:38The hatred in her eyes mirrored exactly what I had seen in the dungeons of our past life.
24:43Only this time, the one being dragged to the dungeons was no longer me.
24:47The king turned to me, his voice lowered.
24:50Oracle, tell me.
24:52How do I save this kingdom?
24:55I looked westward and said softly.
24:59Start with the Westrage Highlands.
25:06On the day the royal family officially recognized me as the oracle, Cedric arrived as well.
25:12He stood in the corner of the hall and froze when he saw me in a white gown.
25:15I walked over to him.
25:17Do you still think I'm Eli?
25:20He opened his mouth.
25:22So you really are a woman?
25:24I nodded.
25:25I told you before, you just didn't believe me.
25:28The tips of his ears turned red.
25:31You said, not right now.
25:33I laughed.
25:35And you believed that?
25:36He fell silent for a moment before asking quietly.
25:42So you knew from the beginning that I would break off the engagement?
25:45I looked at him.
25:47I knew you weren't the useless failure people claimed you were.
25:52And I knew the Ashborough family wouldn't stay in decline forever.
25:57Something changed in his eyes.
25:59What else do you know?
26:01I turned towards the sky beyond the palace windows.
26:04I know that within three years the Westrage Highlands will be consumed by black frost.
26:10I know there will be war on the Northmarch coast.
26:13And I know you're the only one who can hold the line.
26:16Cedric stared at me for a long time.
26:18So you came to me not because of the engagement.
26:22I nodded.
26:23I came for the kingdom.
26:26A faint smile appeared on his face.
26:32What about me?
26:34In your prophecies, am I nothing more than a tool?
26:39I looked at him without answering.
26:42Because in my previous life, he had been my husband.
26:49The king gave me the royal seal.
26:53He also assigned me 12 knights, 30 wagons of grain,
26:56and the authority to access the abbey granaries throughout the Westric Highlands.
27:01Then he asked.
27:03Will this be enough?
27:05I looked at the map spread across the table.
27:07No.
27:09But it's enough to begin.
27:11Isoled stood nearby, her expression complicated.
27:14Once, she had looked down on me,
27:16believing a girl hidden by her family had no place in the royal palace.
27:20Now she had no choice but to lower her head.
27:22Oracle, the royal family will cooperate with you.
27:26I didn't look at her.
27:28I don't need cooperation.
27:30I need obedience.
27:32Silence filled the hall.
27:33Yet the king nodded.
27:35From today onward, all matters concerning the Westric Highlands and the North March Coast
27:39are under your authority.
27:41I picked up the royal seal and turned to leave.
27:45Cedric followed after me.
27:47You still haven't answered my question.
27:49I stopped.
27:50He looked at me.
27:52Am I just a tool in your prophecies?
27:53I was silent for a moment.
27:55No.
27:56You're the most trustworthy person I've ever known.
27:59Cedric smiled.
28:02Then I'm coming with you.
28:04I looked at him.
28:05The Westric Highlands won't be peaceful.
28:07I know.
28:08Which is exactly why you need someone who knows how to fight.
28:11I didn't refuse.
28:13Because this time, I intended to bring him to the very place where fate would begin to change.
28:22We arrived in the Westric Highlands during spring.
28:25Yet every young wheat shot on the hillsides was covered in a layer of black ice.
28:30The local lord knelt before the royal seal, his voice trembling.
28:34Oracle, we've never seen frost like this before.
28:38In a few more days, the entire Highlands will lose its harvest.
28:42Cedric looked at me.
28:44Just like you said.
28:45I had no time to explain.
28:47Open the Abbey Granaries, register grain by village,
28:50and distribute it first to households with children and the elderly.
28:53No lord is allowed to hoarder supplies.
28:55The local lord's accession changed.
28:57But that grain belongs to the estates.
28:59I met his gaze.
29:00Now it belongs to the living.
29:01Anyone caught hiding even a single sack will be treated as a traitor to the crown.
29:06No one dared argue further.
29:08That very night, the first shipments of grain arrived in the villages.
29:13Many people knelt beside the roads and wept.
29:16But I knew this was only the beginning.
29:19In my previous life, Black Frost was followed by rotting fields,
29:23and after that came war on the North March coast.
29:28Standing beside me, Cedric asked quietly.
29:31What happens next?
29:33I looked north.
29:34The Frost Bay Raiders are coming.
29:38After the black frost came the rot.
29:40The wheat fields of the Westreen Highlands began to decay.
29:44I ordered the abbeys to preserve all clean grain and commanded that every moldy sack be burned.
29:49The local lords were unhappy, but none dared oppose me openly.
29:53Because they had all seen it.
29:55One by one, the disasters I predicted were becoming reality.
29:59On the third night, Cedric led a group of men into an abandoned granary.
30:03Inside were more than a dozen wagons filled with perfectly good grain.
30:07The guards responsible for the warehouse fell to their knees, shaking with fear.
30:11It was people from House Vare.
30:12They ordered us to hide it.
30:14I wasn't surprised at all.
30:15Although Serafina was imprisoned in the royal palace, she still had people willing to act for her.
30:21She wanted the Westreich Highlands to run out of food.
30:24If the refugees starved, the royal family would begin doubting me as the oracle.
30:29Cedric's expression turned cold.
30:31She's already lost.
30:32Why won't she stop?
30:34I looked at the grain.
30:35Some people don't want to win.
30:37They'd rather watch everyone die than admit they've lost.
30:40I ordered the grain sent to the most remote villages.
30:43At the same time, everyone involved in the hoiding was arrested and sent back to the royal palace.
30:49By dawn, the first riot never happened.
30:52In my previous life, many people had died here.
30:55This time, children stood at the village entrance holding bowls of hot porridge and smiling at me.
30:59For a moment, I thought I had finally changed the first piece of the future.
31:03But that evening, an urgent message arrived from the North March coast.
31:08The Rowan of Black Pine Keep had disappeared.
31:14The moment Cedric finished reading the urgent message, his expression darkened.
31:20If Sir Rowan has disappeared, it means he's already gone to meet the Frost Bay Raiders.
31:25I nodded.
31:26He'll open Black Pine Keep's hidden gate.
31:28That's how the North March coast fell in my previous life.
31:30Cedric looked at me, something shifting in his eyes.
31:33It was the first time I had spoken of a previous life in front of him.
31:37I offered no explanation.
31:39This wasn't the time.
31:40Spreading the map across the table, I pointed to Black Pine Keep.
31:43We have to reach the fortress before he returns.
31:46Cedric immediately summoned the knights.
31:48The local lords panicked.
31:50Oracle, the Westreich Highlands aren't stable yet.
31:52You can't leave.
31:53I looked at them calmly.
31:54The Highlands have food now.
31:56But if Black Pine Keep falls, the Frost Bay Raiders will sweep south.
31:59And every grain we've saved will become spoils of war.
32:02No one dared stop me after that.
32:04We rode through the night toward the North March coast.
32:06Rain poured without pause.
32:08When we finally arrived at Black Pine Keep, the gates were shut tight.
32:12But more than half the guards were missing.
32:13It's too quiet.
32:14I looked up at the extinguished signal beacon on the wall.
32:17Just like before.
32:19In my previous life, it had been exactly the same.
32:21Silent enough to feel like a dead fortress.
32:24Then a horn suddenly echoed from within.
32:27The hidden gate of Black Pine Keep had been opened from the inside.
32:32When the Frost Bay Raiders poured through the hidden gate,
32:35Cedric and his men were already waiting, drawing his sword.
32:38He spoke in a voice as cold as the rain.
32:40The Ashberg family has defended the North March coast for three generations.
32:43It won't be lost on my watch.
32:45The knights raised their shields and charged.
32:48Fire erupted throughout the fortress.
32:49Standing on the battlements,
32:51I saw Sir Rowan emerge from the secret passage with his followers.
32:54He intended to open the main gates amidst the chaos.
32:56I immediately turned to a nearby knight.
32:59Stop him.
33:00How do you know he's there?
33:01I didn't answer.
33:02Because in my previous life,
33:04Rowan had let the enemy in through this very route.
33:07This time, he failed.
33:09When he was dragged before Cedric, he was still shouting.
33:12The royal family is going to lose.
33:15Frost Bay promised me a real domain.
33:18Cedric kicked him to the ground.
33:21You sold out your own fortress.
33:24The battle lasted until dawn.
33:25When the first rays of sunlight touched the sea.
33:27The Frost Bay raiders finally retreated.
33:29Black Pine Keep still stood.
33:31The first crack that had led Valoria toward ruin in my previous life had been sealed.
33:35Covered in blood, Cedric walked toward me.
33:37You said previous life.
33:39Alara, tell me, what exactly happened to you?
33:42I looked at Cedric and remained silent for a long time.
33:46The sea wind swept across Black Pine Keep, carrying the scent of rain and blood.
33:50At last, I spoke.
33:51In my previous life, Seraphina stole my identity and entered the royal palace.
33:56Cedric froze.
33:56Back then, everyone called you a fallen noble.
33:59But you defended the North March coast, and you protected me.
34:05Yet Valeria still fell.
34:07Black Frost, famine, war.
34:08None of it was avoided.
34:10When Seraphina was exposed, she blamed everything on me.
34:13She poisoned me in the dungeon cells.
34:15Cedric's hands slowly tightened into a fist.
34:18So you came back to change all of this?
34:20I nodded, and to stop her from stealing my life ever again.
34:23He looked at me deeply.
34:24Then tell me something.
34:25In your previous life, was I good to you?
34:28I hadn't expected that question.
34:30A laugh escaped me.
34:34Very.
34:35So good that when I got another chance, you were the first person I came to find.
34:38Cedric smiled too.
34:40He reached out and brushed the rain for my face.
34:42Then this time, let me be the one who finds you first.
34:45Before I could answer, another urgent message arrived from the royal palace.
34:48The king had fallen gravely ill.
34:50And Seraphina had vanished from the dungeons.
34:54By the time we returned to the royal palace, chaos had consumed it.
34:58The king burned with fever.
35:00Seraphina escaped.
35:01And she took the celestial disk.
35:03I immediately understood her plan.
35:05In my previous life, she had fooled everyone by pretending to be the oracle.
35:09This time, she no longer had the royal family or the astrologer to support her.
35:13So she was gambling everything on one final attempt.
35:16Near midnight, the palace bells suddenly rang.
35:18Someone was shouting in the plaza.
35:20The oracle has appeared!
35:23When I arrived, Seraphina stood atop a raised platform.
35:27Wrapped in a white cloak, she held the celestial disk high above her head.
35:31The fake birthmark on her shoulder had been coated in silver powder, making it appear almost real.
35:36She called out to the gathered crowd.
35:39Alarta has deceived you.
35:40The one who can truly save Valea is me.
35:44What she brings isn't prophecy.
35:46It's disaster!
35:48The crowd began to waver.
35:50Some believed me.
35:51Others feared the disaster still unfolding across the kingdom.
35:54When Seraphina saw me, a mad smile spread across her face.
35:58Alara, do you dare prove before everyone that you're the real oracle?
36:01I started up the platform step by step.
36:04Cedric tried to stop me.
36:05I shook my head.
36:06This time, everyone needed to see the truth.
36:09I stopped before the celestial disk and revealed my still wounded left shoulder.
36:15The entire plaza held its breath.
36:17Seraphina thrust the celestial disk toward me, her eyes blazing with hatred.
36:21Go ahead.
36:22Show them what qualifies a girl hidden away by house fear.
36:25I loosened my cloak.
36:26The wound on my shoulder had not fully healed.
36:28Seraphina had destroyed my birthmark.
36:30But she could never destroy the power left behind by the stars.
36:34As I approached the celestial disk, silver light emerged from deep within the scar.
36:38The disk began to turn.
36:40A beam of light descended upon me.
36:43The plaza fell silent.
36:45Then, someone dropped to their knees.
36:49The oracle!
36:50More and more people followed.
36:53Seraphina's smile slowly disappeared.
36:55She lunged forward, trying to seize the celestial disk.
36:59Cedric caught her wrist.
37:01Enough!
37:02She doesn't deserve it!
37:04She never should have been born!
37:06Seraphina screamed and struggled.
37:08I looked at her calmly, but after two lifetimes of fighting for it, you still lost.
37:13She jerked her head up.
37:14For the first time, she truly understood.
37:17You were reborn too?
37:19I didn't answer, because it no longer mattered.
37:22The royal knights dragged her off the platform.
37:24Her screams grew thinner and thinnerer.
37:26Meanwhile, the silver light of the celestial disk illuminated the entire plaza.
37:30From that day on, no one in Valyria ever dared question me again.
37:35Three years later, Crownhaven's central plaza was overflowing with people.
37:39The king personally announced,
37:41The famine in the Westride Highlands has ended.
37:44The Northmarch Coast stands secure.
37:46Volomia has survived.
37:48The crowd erupted into cheers.
37:49I stood below the steps and did not move forward.
37:52Cedric lowered his voice.
37:53Are you really refusing the sanctuary they want to build for you?
37:56I shook my head.
37:57I don't want to be locked inside another golden cage.
38:00Then where do we go?
38:01He smiled.
38:02I looked into the distance.
38:06Somewhere no one knows the oracle.
38:12Later, Cedric and I left Crownhaven behind.
38:15But my story remained.
38:16Many years afterward, Serafina was permitted to return to the capital as a pilgrim.
38:21Dressed in a grey nun's robe, she stood at the very back of the crowd.
38:25At the center of the plaza stood a new statue.
38:27A young woman with a star signal carved into her left shoulder, holding the celestial disc in her hands.
38:33Someone nearby whispered,
38:34That's the oracle who saved Valyria.
38:36Serafina stared at the statue for a very long time.
38:39A little girl beside her asked,
38:41Ma'am, did you know the oracle too?
38:44Serafina's face turned pale.
38:46After a long silence, she slowly knelt.
38:50Yes, I knew her.
38:51She was the person I wanted most to become.
38:55The girl asked again,
38:56Did you succeed?
38:59Serafina looked at the statue as tears rolled down her face.
39:03No, never even came close to her shadow.
39:08The wind swept through the plaza.
39:10The star sigil on the statue's left shoulder gleamed faintly beneath the sunlight.
39:14At last, Serafina lowered her head,
39:17and prayed for protection from the woman she had spent two lifetives trying to replace.
39:21As for the spin to her face.
39:22Pesкуний.
39:23The star sigil...
39:23The star sigil on the face.
39:23The star sigil on theatic side...
39:23Pescu index.
