Short filmTranscript
00:05Dorian! Please! Help me!
00:12Vivian, it's done. I got her here, just like you asked.
00:16Once she dies in this flash flood, you'll be the sole heir to Ashfield.
00:23Dear sister, your little fox is really useful, isn't he?
00:36I'm back. Back to six years ago. The familiar auction. I'm not dead. Not yet.
00:50Go on, Serena. Choose me. You did before.
00:56That one. Open it.
01:11Serena! What are you doing? You promised me! You said you'd pick me to repay my favor!
01:19Is that so? I don't really remember.
01:24Hear that, white fox? She's done with you. She doesn't even see you as her life maker.
01:39What's your name?
01:42Kale.
01:43My lady, please, be careful. This wolf familiar is dangerous. He's already bitten two trainers in the arena. He doesn't
01:49obey at all.
01:49The risk, it's way too high.
01:56Serena, stop! You promised me. When I fully took shape, you'd only recognize me as your one contract servant. You
02:03said it yourself!
02:04I already told you. It was a long time ago. I don't remember.
02:14Sister, since this silver fox knows you, there must be some fate here.
02:18Why don't... why don't I take him? I can keep him close so you won't have any regrets later.
02:27Let's go, Kale.
02:33Let me make one thing clear.
02:36If we form a bond,
02:39you'll only have me. I don't share.
02:43And I've got a bad temper.
02:46I don't know how to serve people.
02:47Come here.
02:52My lady.
02:56Don't know how to serve?
02:58That's fine.
02:59You'll learn.
03:01Slowly.
03:03But tonight,
03:05we bind our blood first.
03:07By the blood of the master and the soul of the familiar, this bond is sealed.
03:13The familiar shall be bound to the master for life.
03:16Should betrayal ever take root, the soul shall shatter, the spirit disperse, and it shall never be reborn.
03:27If it hurts, just bite me.
03:33First time making a bond?
03:37So you're some kind of expert.
03:40Done this with other familities before?
03:45Dorian and Kale couldn't have been more different.
03:48Dorian was like a pine tree in the snow.
03:50Cold, classy, and impossible.
03:53You had to coax him forever just to get him to give an inch.
03:56But Kale...
03:57Kale, though, was like a winter river running dark and deep.
04:00Calm on top but underneath.
04:02Wild, loyal, and waiting in the wings.
04:06This kind of wolf?
04:08Once it picks a path, it doesn't turn back.
04:17I'm going to wash up.
04:31What do you want?
04:32My lady, Miss Vivian asked me to bring you some fresh spirit fruits.
04:37My lady.
04:38In his last life, he formed a bond with me, yet he never once addressed me properly, always claiming that
04:43was just the way he was.
04:45And now, after following Vivian for barely half a day, he's already changed his tune.
04:51What dignity.
04:53He just didn't think I was worth lowering himself.
04:56Leave them.
04:57You can go now.
04:58My lady.
04:59Why did you choose a wolf familiar?
05:01He's aggressive by nature.
05:03He's hardly the kind of familiar that should be by your side.
05:08That is none of your business.
05:11So back then, everything you said was just to make me happy.
05:15From the start, you never really planned to bring me in, did you?
05:24Cut the fox charm.
05:27Try that stun on her again, and I'll break your fox neck.
05:41Father, I know Serena has never really liked me.
05:44I'm not here to complain.
05:46I just, I never expected her familiar to be so cruel.
05:52Last night, I saw Serena humiliate Dorian in front of everyone.
05:56I felt so bad for him.
05:59So I brought him back with me and tried to cheer him up.
06:03I thought maybe they're just in some misunderstanding between him and Serena.
06:08So I asked him to bring her some fresh fruit and patch things up with her.
06:13I never thought it'd end up like this.
06:16Dorian got roughed up by her wolf familiar like this.
06:20There's a saying.
06:22You don't hit someone's dog without asking first.
06:25And Dorian's my servant!
06:28Serena didn't even stop him!
06:30This is just meant to embarrass me, isn't it?
06:35I know Serena is the heir, the eldest, the future lady of the estate.
06:39Whatever happens at home, it's always her say.
06:42And me, I'm merely a bastard daughter.
06:45Ever since mother passed, no one's been looking out for me.
06:49In her final moments, she kept calling father's name.
06:56How touching.
06:59Vivian's mother died, and father wept for a whole night.
07:03But when my mother, Eleanor, the one who built all of this, died when I was eight,
07:08he didn't shed a single tear.
07:11Now he says he won't let Vivian be wronged.
07:15So I guess that means I'm the one who's supposed to suffer, right?
07:21Serena, look at your familiar.
07:23How dare it behave like this?
07:26That wolf is savage and has no discipline, and it attacked someone right here in Ashford.
07:31I told you from the start that wolf fililians are impossible to tame.
07:37They're not fit to serve as personal bonded servants, but you refuse to listen.
07:42Today it attacked Vivian's servant.
07:44What about tomorrow?
07:45Will it go after Vivian herself?
07:47And the day after that, will it turn on the entire Ashford family?
07:51On me!
07:52Someone!
07:53Drag this monster out and deal with it according to our family rules!
07:59Sister, Kale is just a familiar.
08:01Don't let this come between you and father, okay?
08:04Kale made the first move, so he should be punished.
08:07I trust this wasn't your doing.
08:09He just went and acted on his own, right?
08:15Kale, outside you can do whatever you want.
08:17But in Ashfield, you follow my rules.
08:21If you ever lay a hand on someone in public again, I won't cover for you.
08:28I understand, my lady.
08:31Go serve your punishment.
08:32Let this be a lesson.
08:49Let this be a lesson.
08:55Oh, easy there.
08:58We wouldn't want to break Serena's new toy on the very first day, would we?
09:05I know why she's gloating.
09:07She thinks she's beaten me at last.
09:11Finally seeing the one I care about humiliated like this.
09:14Pathetic.
09:16Look at Dorian, why is he so bitter?
09:19I gave him exactly what he wanted.
09:22I let him go to Vivian.
09:23I even gave whatever it is between them a chance.
09:26So what does he still have to resent?
09:29And why does he keep provoking Kale over and over again?
09:35Enough.
09:36We'll leave it here for today.
09:39Sister, only ten, and we're stopping already.
09:42Kale attacked Dorian, and the marks on his neck are still there.
09:46Isn't that punishment a little too light?
09:54What else do you want, Vivian?
09:56His life?
09:57Dorian's injury is hardly serious.
09:59A fox for Lilia would recover from that in three days.
10:02Making a fuss over something this minor just makes you look petty.
10:08You!
10:09Oh right, Sister. I almost forgot. Father said you've been so busy lately.
10:16The Northern Territory. The heart of Ashfield's wealth.
10:20The Spiritstone Mines. The Herb Estates.
10:23Everything my mother, Eleanor, spent half her life building.
10:27And now Edmund wants to hand it all over to Vivian.
10:30Looks like she's helping me out.
10:32But really, she's trying to worm her way into the Ashford family itself.
10:38What?
10:41Co-manager?
10:42Honestly, Vivian, I couldn't ask for more. Thank you.
10:46Sister, you're so easy to please today. Then I won't hold back.
10:58Stay still. I need to check the wound.
11:06I'm sorry.
11:09I know you only acted to stop his fox charm, but for now you'll have to take the punishment on
11:13your own.
11:15There won't be a next time.
11:20What's the big deal? It's only natural for a lady to punish her own familiar.
11:28Besides, you don't need to protect me. I'm the one who's supposed to shield you from the storm.
11:34Shield me from the storm. It's been ages since anyone ever said that.
11:39I've been the only heir since I was little. I had to master management, negotiation, and always be flawless before
11:45the elders.
11:46Nobody ever said they'd protect me. And now, some wolf cub who's been mine for just a day says it
11:52like it's the most natural thing in the world.
11:57Fine. I've got it.
12:00Whatever happens, I'll keep my word. Since you took me out of that cage, I'm loyal to you. Forever.
12:10And what if I lied to you? What if one day you find out I've been using you all along?
12:23All right, I won't tease you anymore. Rest up, and in a few days come with me to the Northern
12:28Territory. That's where the real game begins.
12:55Hey, sister. Why not bring Kale to check his level, too? Maybe he's leveled up and could make you look
13:02good.
13:03No, thank you. People test a familiar's rank when they're planning to sell it for a better price.
13:10Fortunately, I haven't fallen so low that I need to trade away my own familiar for a share of the
13:14family's assets.
13:21Besides, a rank gained through potions is little more than decoration.
13:25If you really want a 10th rank family or sister, you'll have to spend a lot more than you already
13:30have.
13:36Even if it's just for show, it's still better than your familiar. That lowborn wolf. No matter how many potions
13:42you give him, he's never going to amount to anything!
13:45No matter how many potions you give him, he's never going to have to spend a lot of time.
13:53My lady, let me take the test. I'm no worse than that fox.
14:01It's okay. It doesn't matter to me.
14:04All right, hurry it up. Put your right hand on the stone. Next!
14:28Oh my god! Look at the runes! The testing stone! The testing stone is cracking!
14:38Oh my god!
14:42Impossible! That's a 10th reek family! A supreme class family mid-tier!
15:01I told you, I'm no worse than that fox.
15:04Even in my past life, not even the Empire's strongest royal guards could touch this level.
15:08Kale, who exactly are you?
15:15Actually, I'm not from a normal pack. I ran away from somewhere else. But now, I'm yours. Only yours.
15:27I understand. You're with me now. And that's enough.
15:40All those potions wasted for nothing! And you still can't beat a single wolf! Useless! Get lost!
16:12Come on, Kale. Off to the Northern Territory.
16:15Let's see what my dear sister has in store for us.
16:46I tried so hard
16:51My lady
16:52Please
16:54I need to talk to you
17:16You again
17:18What the hell do you want this time?
17:36My lady
17:37Please
17:37Have Kale leave for a moment
17:40I have to tell you this secret alone
17:45Remember what happened last time?
17:48He's no good
17:49Don't listen to a word he says
17:57Wait
17:59If he wanted to make a move
18:00He wouldn't pick now
18:01Go wait by the gate
18:02I'll stay here
18:05But
18:05Go
18:06That's an order
18:11Go on
18:12Make sure this secret's worth my attention
18:26My lady
18:27I'm begging you
18:29Just
18:30Give me another chance
18:35You want to kneel?
18:37Kneel to your master
18:38Vivienna
18:39I'm not the one holding your leash anymore
18:46I'm sorry Serena
18:48I was wrong
18:50I shouldn't have betrayed you
18:51I shouldn't have just stood there
18:53And watched those rocks crash you
18:54Watching you die in that valley
18:57I have no idea what you're talking about
18:58You're losing your mind
19:00Dorian
19:01I know
19:02I know nobody's gonna believe me
19:04If I say it
19:05But it's true
19:08Every single word of it
19:11I've been having the same dream over and over for days
19:15In it
19:16I'm your familiar
19:17You're so kind to me
19:18Helping me through the shift
19:19And I swear in the dream
19:21I'll always be loyal to you
19:24Never betray you
19:25But I broke it
19:26I fell for Vivian
19:29She got into my head
19:30Kept feeding me lies
19:31And before I knew it
19:32I was leading you straight to your death
19:33In the dream
19:34As the flood was swallowing you whole
19:37You said you only did all that
19:38Because I saved your life
19:41Seeing you die right in front of me
19:43And being powerless to stop it
19:46That feeling
19:48It's worse than dying
19:50At first I thought it was just a dream
19:52But then the details started getting clearer and clearer
19:55More real
19:56More vivid
19:58And then came that day at the auction
20:00The day you chose Kyle
20:02That's when it finally hit me
20:03It wasn't a dream at all
20:06It was what happened before
20:09The ending we actually got in our last life
20:12We are meant to be together Serena
20:16If all of that really happened
20:17If Vivian got in my head
20:19And made me screw everything up
20:21Then maybe we can do it over this time
20:27I've wanted to tell you the truth
20:29For so long
20:31I've wanted to tell you to apologize
20:33To make up for what I did
20:35But because of Vivian
20:36I couldn't just come out and say it
20:38I was afraid she'd hurt you
20:50Serena
20:51You really don't remember at all
20:52Back at Siren Lake
20:54You fell in the water
20:55I jumped in and pulled you out
20:58The Ashford family even gave me a Shapeshing potion as thanks
21:01I've been looking for you ever since
21:17It was all Vivian
21:20She's crazy
21:21She was jealous that you were the rightful heir
21:23Ever since she found out I saved you back then
21:26She's been yelling at me
21:27Hitting me
21:28Taking out all her jealousy and hate on me
21:33I was going to just bear it in silence
21:35But I was scared
21:36Scared she'd go after you
21:38Scared you'd end up like last time
21:40Let me be your fiment, Serena
21:43I haven't bonded with Vivian yet
21:45That wolf is just a brute
21:46He can only fight
21:47But I'm different
21:48I'm skilled in fox charm
21:50I know countless secrets about Vivian
21:52I can help you win over the council elders
21:55Get rid of Edmund's old allies
21:57Take down anyone standing in the way of you
21:58Inheriting your lands
21:59And do you really
22:01Not have any feelings for me at all
22:16Let me think about it
22:26I was only twelve back then
22:28The lake was freezing that early spring
22:30The second I fell in
22:32It felt like the water swallowed me whole
22:34I couldn't breathe
22:35I couldn't tell which way was up
22:38I didn't even have time to call for help
22:56Oh, that makes sense
22:58No wonder I treated Dorian that way last time
23:01I always thought I was just returning the favor
23:03Maybe it wasn't just about paying him back
23:07I was clinging to this one crazy idea
23:09That someone, at some point
23:11Had chosen me without a second thought
23:22The light was still on
23:23And the tea is cold
23:25And the tea, drink it
23:28Okay
23:39Kale
23:41If someone saved your life when you were a kid
23:44And for years you let them walk all over you
23:46Betray your trust
23:47Push you around
23:48Would you call that loyalty
23:50Or just plain stupid?
23:53Neither
24:01If someone saved your life
24:03You're not wrong for being grateful
24:06What's wrong
24:07Is the person using that gratitude
24:10To make you sacrifice the rest of your life
24:14People who really care
24:15Don't keep throwing what they did in your face
24:19If someone won't stop saying they saved you
24:28You're surprisingly good
24:29At figuring things out for me
24:32I'm not saying this to make you feel better
24:34That's just how it is
24:47Made it on the road
24:48It's nothing fancy
24:50But
24:51It carries my mana
24:53Keep it under your pillow
24:55If you have bad dreams
25:01Over the years
25:02Dorian gave me all kinds of gifts
25:05Every one of them was exquisite
25:07Chosen with just the right touch
25:11But I'd never owned a Talamin like this one
25:15It was rough
25:16Simple
25:16Not particularly valuable
25:18And honestly not even all that pretty
25:20And for some reason
25:21It made my chest warm
25:24Like finally
25:24Someone wasn't trying to cheer me up
25:27They just
25:28Figured I'd be hurt
25:29And wanted to take the blow for me
25:31Kale
25:33What if you find out
25:34I'm not the good person you think I am?
25:36What if I'm cold
25:37Ruthless
25:38And willing to sacrifice anyone
25:39Including you
25:40To get what I want?
25:41Would you still treat me the same?
25:48Yes
25:50Why?
25:52Because my loyalty isn't to good or evil
25:54It's to you
25:54I chose you, Serena
25:57And I'll keep choosing you
26:08Drink the medicine before it gets cold
26:11I'll be right outside the door
26:14Kale
26:25Don't be at the door tonight
26:27Sit inside
26:28I'm afraid I'll dream about the lake tonight
26:33Okay
26:35Okay
27:03Let's go
27:07father this ride is awful the cushions are thin as paper and these snacks are
27:12ridiculously sweet tell them to go back and get something better will you
27:19vivian cut it out you're not a spoiled child anymore act your age
27:40ah so dorian was the one who whispered in father's ear before we left making him lose patience with
27:47viviana he's showing me his value he's proving he can be a very useful dog
27:59what's wrong not used to the carriage no it's just the way some people look at me makes me
28:07uncomfortable
28:17in this world a master can only bind one familia to break that bond and form a new one
28:22the familia must undergo soul fracture some lose their consciousness and are left as little more
28:27than empty hucks others are less unfortunate their souls are shattered beyond recovery and yet dorian
28:33is perfectly willing to let kail suffer that agony just so he can crawl back to my side
28:38he is just as cold and ruthless as he was in our past life fine we'll see
28:51realize ferries to heaven
28:59you're up
29:04my lord it's been a long journey i put together a feast to help you refresh yourself after the road
29:10perfect lead the way
29:15and one more thing my lord you have to see syren's lake tomorrow the manna there is unlike anywhere
29:21else around and it's the pride of the region you don't come here every day so it'd be a real
29:26shame
29:27to miss it lord hargrain is right father you've worked so hard for the family you deserve some rest
29:33by the lake and vivian should come too it's beautiful
29:41yes vivian you must join us tomorrow
29:45of course father i'd love to
30:04my lord your daughters are truly generous letting their familiots dine at the same table
30:10we don't see that kind of kindness every day
30:21darian get up stand in the back a familiar is just a servant have you forgotten your manners
30:32yes my lord
30:48father vivian was gravely ill last week
30:51and dorian stayed up for nights to nurse her back to health
30:54besides since dorian will assist vivian in managing the northern territory in the future
30:58we shouldn't treat him like a mere servant
30:59after all we're all ashford's here aren't we
31:07serena's right it's only a meal we're family after all everyone have a seat
31:12you
