Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I lay on the stone bed of the sacred infirmary, trembling violently.
00:00:05Every doctor in the Wind Kingdom was on edge for my sake.
00:00:09Yet my husband, Lord Ronan, was nowhere to be seen.
00:00:15I was used to his coldness.
00:00:18But at this moment, having gambled my life and burned my manor to bear this child,
00:00:25the ridiculous shred of hope still flickered in my heart.
00:00:28Years ago, when I was in a desperate situation, the young Ronan saved my life.
00:00:36That kindness became my lifelong obsession.
00:00:39But he had no idea that I was the sole pure-blooded daughter of the High Elfin King.
00:00:48When I met with disaster in my youth, I was rescued by him, the lord of a mere mid-tier
00:00:56Elfin Kingdom.
00:00:58To repay that debt, I concealed my supreme identity, even using a forbidden ritual to seal away the radiant wings
00:01:06of nature on my back that symbolized supreme divine authority.
00:01:12I willingly became an ordinary female elf, with no background, marrying into his territory.
00:01:19Under a false name for years, I remained gentle and submissive, using my own pure-blooded mana to nourish his
00:01:28family, all for a sliver of his affection.
00:01:35Yet, I could never warm a heart of stone.
00:01:38In Ronan's heart, there was only ever room for his first love, Vanessa.
00:01:48The agony intensified, as the mana and bloodlines within my body surged in a violent reverse flow.
00:01:56But I held on to my last strength.
00:01:58Yet, all that arrived was a cold, ruthless message from a guard.
00:02:04My lady, the lord is busy with official matters and cannot come.
00:02:08Please deliver the child on your own, and do not delay the lord's business.
00:02:12At that moment, a self-deprecating laugh escaped my lips.
00:02:16This life of mine, and the child in my womb, never mattered to him.
00:02:21After an entire day and night of deathly struggle, a soft, fragile wile finally shattered the silence of the infirmary.
00:02:29This was my daughter, a precious treasure, bought at the cost of all my mana.
00:02:37I named her Iris.
00:02:39At that exact moment, my personal guard rushed in to report.
00:02:43My lady!
00:02:44The lord has finished his external affairs, and has returned to the main manor in his unicorn sacred carriage.
00:02:50Within my deadland heart, a tiny spark suddenly ignited.
00:02:54I instinctively assumed that no matter how cold or selfish he might be,
00:02:58at least he would at least want to look at his newborn flesh and blood.
00:03:01Forcing my exhausted, severely depleted body up,
00:03:03I carefully held my daughter in her swaddling clothes,
00:03:06making my way toward the promenade of the main temple to see my husband.
00:03:09But just as I reached the promenade and looked through the lush courtyard of the sacred elven tree,
00:03:14I froze instantly, the blood in my veins turning to ice.
00:03:18My husband stood there, tall and elegant in his black robes,
00:03:23and right beside him stood a woman, the first love he had yearned for and never forgotten.
00:03:27It was Vanessa.
00:03:28What struck me like a bolt from the blue was that in front of them stood a little elfin boy,
00:03:32roughly three years old, with long pointed ears and a pair of eyes that flashed with a cunning disguised as
00:03:38inonence.
00:03:39Countless absurd possibilities flashed through my mind.
00:03:42My hands shook uncontrollably from shock and rage, but I forced myself to stand my ground,
00:03:48enduring the tearing pain of the postpartum mana reverse flow.
00:03:52Vanessa looked up and spotted me, her mouth curving into a flitting, provocative smirk.
00:03:56She intentionally leaned closer into Ronan's embrace, her voice soft yet dripping with malice.
00:04:02Ronan, so she's the one who stole my man and my title while I was away?
00:04:07Tenderness instantly flooded Ronan's eyes as he wrapped his arm around her.
00:04:12He comforted her softly, even placing a lingering kiss upon her forehead, right in front of me.
00:04:19When he turned to me, his tone was piercingly cold and dismissive.
00:04:24Think nothing of it, Vanessa.
00:04:26You are my true love.
00:04:30I have never loved her.
00:04:31She is nothing more than a tool to manage the tribe.
00:04:36Ronan, look closely.
00:04:38This is the daughter I just risked my life to give you.
00:04:41Look at her, she was just born.
00:04:42Look how beautiful she is.
00:04:44Ronan cast a brief, indifferent glance downward.
00:04:46In his eyes, there was not a shred of paternal emotion, only naked disgust and annoyance.
00:04:52He swiftly averted his gaze, as though looking at his own flesh and blood for even a second longer would
00:04:56defile his relationship with Vanessa.
00:04:58Vanessa's gaze locked onto the infant in my arms, a flash of venom crossing her eyes.
00:05:04Promptly, she lifted her pitiful face, gazing up at Ronan with a trembling sob.
00:05:10Ronan, she has already born a child for the tribe.
00:05:13Then what about our Jasper?
00:05:14He followed me, wandering among foreign kingdoms, and suffered for three long years.
00:05:20He is your eldest son, the future heir of the Wind Kingdom.
00:05:24Looking at that three-year-old elf and child clinging to their side, I felt as if my soul had
00:05:29been struck by lightning.
00:05:30It turned out that my suspicion was actually the truth.
00:05:33What exactly is going on here?
00:05:36Ronan looked down at me, entirely devoid of guilt, and let out a righteous, cold snot.
00:05:43Good, you saw it. Saves me the trouble of explaining.
00:05:45When Vanessa left three years ago, she was already pregnant with my child!
00:05:48For these three years, she raised Jasper alone among foreign kingdoms, enduring endless grievance.
00:05:52Now that she has returned, I must make it then properly, restoring everything that belongs to them a thousand times
00:05:57over!
00:05:59I stared at the picture-perfect family of three before me, as a boundless despair swallowed me like a tidal
00:06:06wave.
00:06:07Just as I was on the verge of collapsing, Ronan's mother, Elodie, walked over hoarsely, flanked by attendants.
00:06:15Three-year-old Jasper was incredibly sweet-talked, twitching his delicate little elven ears.
00:06:19He immediately ran over on his short legs, and tightly hugged Elodie's leg.
00:06:25Grandma! I finally get to see you!
00:06:29Mother said you are the most benevolent and noble elder.
00:06:34In the entire kingdom!
00:06:36Elodie, who was extremely superstitious about bloodlines and male esters, melted instantly.
00:06:41She gathered Jasper into her arms, treating him like her ultimate treasure.
00:06:48Seizing the moment, Vanessa leaned into Ronan's embrace, weeping with feigned grievance.
00:06:54It's all my fault! If I had been stronger!
00:06:58Your perfect grandson wouldn't have spent three years starving in exile!
00:07:04Elodie's heart ached for them.
00:07:06She snapped her head around to look at me, with my deathly, pale face, and my weakly, wailing daughter.
00:07:13Her eyes instantly turning into daggers of piercing disgust.
00:07:17You nearly died, just to produce a magicless, useless girl?
00:07:25What a pathetic waste!
00:07:27Pack up that defective brat, and drag yourselves to the Wythen Tower at the border right now!
00:07:33I won't let you bring your bad luck near my precious grandson!
00:07:40Ronan, Iris is your flesh and blood too.
00:07:44How can you just let them trample all over us?
00:07:49But Ronan's face remained completely indifferent, his tone dripping with disdain.
00:07:54Mother is right.
00:07:56Jasper is the future, and hope of Wind Kingdom.
00:08:01The daughter you gave birth to has a dull divine mark.
00:08:07She is utterly unworthy of living in the main manor.
00:08:13Going to the tower is your only option.
00:08:17Vanessa threw a provocative glance my way, squeezing her throat to spit out the most poison words.
00:08:23Loser.
00:08:23Since you possess no noble bloodline, staying here will only bring you self-inflicted humiliation.
00:08:32Looking at their hypocritical, I clenched my fingers, and the very last ember of gratitude within me was completely extinguished.
00:08:41The cold wind wowed through the withered tower, a place that never saw a single ray of moonlight.
00:08:48I held my frail little daughter close, huddling in the corner of the freezing stone wall.
00:08:54Having barely survived childbirth, and with my mana completely burned out,
00:09:00my chest felt as if it were being torn apart.
00:09:03By ten thousand winds.
00:09:06Just when I was completely helpless and desperate,
00:09:10the heavy wooden door of the tower was suddenly pushed open,
00:09:15and Ronan walked in, silhouetted against the light.
00:09:19In that single instant, a ridiculous shred of hope actually flared up once more in my deadland heart.
00:09:28He was the child's father.
00:09:30Had he finally softened coming to bring some mana, to ward off the cold?
00:09:36Or to take my daughter and me back?
00:09:38Forcing my mana depleased body up, my pale lips trembled.
00:09:43Did you come to see Iris?
00:09:45She caught a chill, and the divine mark on her forehead is growing weaker and weaker.
00:09:52Please, save her.
00:09:53But before I could even get close,
00:09:57Ronan took a disgusted step backward.
00:09:59Serafana.
00:10:00As if the child and I were some kind of still.
00:10:02I only came here to warn you.
00:10:06Stay in your withered tower quietly.
00:10:08Sign this declaration relinquishing your rights as the primary mistress,
00:10:10and don't try any clever tricks.
00:10:13I felt as though I had been struck by lightning,
00:10:16taking a shocked step back.
00:10:18I stared firmly at the man.
00:10:20I had loved with my very life for three years.
00:10:24You came all the way to this desolate place,
00:10:27not to cast a single glance at your own daughter,
00:10:31but merely to force me to give up my position.
00:10:34And to warn me?
00:10:36Ronan let out a cold laugh,
00:10:38his eyes filled with arrogance and a fierce protectiveness for Vanessa.
00:10:44Vanessa is kind-hearted.
00:10:46And she suffered terribly.
00:10:49While wandering among foreign kingdoms with our child.
00:10:52I will not allow anyone to disrupt Jasper's upbringing.
00:10:57I am warning you.
00:10:59Put away that jealous face of yours.
00:11:02Stay where you belong.
00:11:04And do not provoke Vanessa and her son.
00:11:06If I discover that you dare to secretly harm them,
00:11:12or attempt to steal the resources that belong to Jasper,
00:11:16I will absolutely show you no mercy!
00:11:19In the darkness,
00:11:20my daughter let out a faint, protesting cry.
00:11:23Ronan, however, did not bother to spare even a glance from the corner of his eye.
00:11:27He turned and departed resolutely,
00:11:30the heavy iron door slamming shut with a resounding thud.
00:11:33Holding my child,
00:11:34I collapsed into the freezing mud,
00:11:36laughing at my own stupidity.
00:11:38He came only to warn me.
00:11:41The night sky hung low,
00:11:43as the freezing wind raged,
00:11:44through the dead silence of the withered tower,
00:11:47preventing even a single slimmer of moonlight,
00:11:49from penetrating the darkness.
00:11:51I had burned through the vast majority of my mana during childbirth.
00:11:55The magic within my body had completely dried up.
00:11:57I could only hold my little princess tightly in my arms,
00:12:00using my own faint body wheat to provide warmth for my infant,
00:12:03who was running a continuous low fever inside her swaddling clothes.
00:12:07Yet at this very moment,
00:12:09inside the Wind Kingdom's main temple,
00:12:11there was a completely different scene
00:12:13of brilliant lights,
00:12:15music,
00:12:16and extravagant luxury.
00:12:18Vanessa and her son sat on a soft couch,
00:12:20covered in the rarest luminescent beast skins,
00:12:22basking in the attention and adoration
00:12:24of all the high-ranking elves in the kingdom.
00:12:28Three-year-old Jasper fluttered the tiny green elben wings
00:12:30that had just begun to develop on his back.
00:12:32Holding an exquisite elben sacred berry in his hands,
00:12:35his face completely smeared with juice,
00:12:37Elayda sat high upon her throne,
00:12:40grinning from ear to ear,
00:12:42her eyes overflowing with a dotting pride.
00:12:44Watching this warm and harmonious scene,
00:12:47the more Elayda looked at this chubby grandson,
00:12:49the more pleasing he seemed to her eye.
00:12:51Stroking the staff that symbolized her power as the high priestess,
00:12:55she impatiently turned to prompt my husband,
00:12:57Ronan, who was standing beside her.
00:12:58Ronan,
00:12:59Vanessa and her son have wandered among foreign kingdoms for years,
00:13:03enduring endless hardships.
00:13:05Now my precious eldest grandson is already three years old,
00:13:09and the wind-attributed mana within his body is so abundant.
00:13:13How can he continue to stay in the guest room so illegitimately?
00:13:17Tonight,
00:13:18you must have Vanessa and Jasper
00:13:20officially move into the Lord's main manon,
00:13:23into the bedchambers that rightfully belong
00:13:25to the primary mistress and the heir!
00:13:27Ronan lowered his eyes,
00:13:28looking at Vanessa's adoration-filled face,
00:13:31as she leaned coyly against him,
00:13:33and then at the child,
00:13:34who was sweetly calling him father.
00:13:36The scales in his heart had already tipped completely.
00:13:39Without a shred of hesitation,
00:13:41he nodded his agreement coldly on the spot.
00:13:43Mother is right.
00:13:45The best location in the main manor
00:13:47should naturally be reserved
00:13:48for the heir who truly carries
00:13:50the excellent bloodline of our kingdom.
00:13:53Seeing her son agree so readily,
00:13:54Aloy's face flushed with even more delight.
00:13:57Standing up hauntily while leaning on her staff,
00:13:59she addressed all the tribal high officials present
00:14:02in a grand, supreme tone.
00:14:04Not only that,
00:14:05Wind Kingdom has thrived to this day
00:14:07and our bloodline is supreme.
00:14:09Jasper is exceptionally bright,
00:14:11displaying astonishing magical talent
00:14:12at such a tender age.
00:14:13He deserves the recognition of all kingdoms!
00:14:16I propose that in three days,
00:14:18we hold the most grand and magnificent
00:14:19official announcement celebration
00:14:21for three-year-old Jasper.
00:14:22We shall high-profilely declare him
00:14:25as the primary heir
00:14:26of our Wind Kingdom's future!
00:14:29In three days,
00:14:30Jasper would be declared the primary heir.
00:14:32Following her move into the main manor,
00:14:35Vanessa began to carry herself
00:14:36entirely as the queen of the Wind Kingdom.
00:14:38Dressed in extravagant silks,
00:14:39she glided through the temple
00:14:40flanked by her entourage,
00:14:42soaking in the endless, shallow flattery.
00:14:44Yet a stubborn sliver of anxiety
00:14:46remained buried deep in her chest.
00:14:48Whenever night fell,
00:14:49she would catch Ronan standing on the balcony,
00:14:51staring with a conflicted expression
00:14:52towards that dark,
00:14:53desolate, withered tower.
00:14:55Though he spoke with absolute coldness,
00:14:57subconsciously,
00:14:57he still harbored a faint trace of worry
00:14:59for my baby and me,
00:15:00a worry he refused to admit even to himself.
00:15:03This lingering gaze
00:15:04made Vanessa's jealousness
00:15:05and paranoia grow wild.
00:15:08As long as my daughter and I were breathing,
00:15:10her position and Jasper's future
00:15:12would never be safe.
00:15:13An opportunity presented itself
00:15:14sooner than expected.
00:15:16Early this morning,
00:15:17desperate to give my frail daughter
00:15:18a single drop of clean water,
00:15:20my completely helpless self
00:15:21was forced to drag my broken body
00:15:23out of the tower,
00:15:24heading deep into the woods
00:15:25to harvest pure spring water
00:15:26filtered by ancient divine marks.
00:15:28Learning of this,
00:15:29Vanessa's eyes turned ice cold.
00:15:31She knew her moment had arrived.
00:15:33She quietly dismissed the guards
00:15:35around the main manor,
00:15:36taking only a few of her
00:15:37most ruthless disconfidence
00:15:38as she slipped into the dark,
00:15:41abandoned, withered tower.
00:15:42The wooden door creaked open,
00:15:44letting in the piercing chill.
00:15:46Vanessa stepped over the debris,
00:15:48advancing slow pace by slow pace,
00:15:51until she stopped right in front
00:15:52of the primitive stone bed.
00:15:54Inside her swaddling clothes,
00:15:56newborn Iris was sleeping soundly.
00:15:58Though her little face was pale,
00:15:59the faint golden divine mark
00:16:01shimmering on her forehead
00:16:02radiated an undeniable nobility
00:16:04and purity,
00:16:05a mark that made Vanessa's eyes
00:16:06burn with pure envy.
00:16:08You pathetic little freak.
00:16:11You think you're worthy
00:16:12of Ronan's blood?
00:16:14If you want to blame anyone,
00:16:16blame your useless mother.
00:16:18The mask of innocence
00:16:19slipped from Vanessa's face,
00:16:21her eyes twisting with pure malice.
00:16:24From her wide sleeve,
00:16:25she slowly pulled out
00:16:27a porcelain vial
00:16:28that emitted an eerie green glow.
00:16:30Inside was a forbidden,
00:16:32lethal toxin she had purchased
00:16:33at an exorgent price
00:16:34from the black market.
00:16:36Soul-eating elixir,
00:16:37specifically designed to dissolve
00:16:39a newborn elf's mana core
00:16:41and cause their soul
00:16:42to rot away inch by inch.
00:16:44With a trembling hand,
00:16:45she popped the cork
00:16:46and violently clamped her fingers
00:16:48over my baby's fragile jaw.
00:16:50The sharp pain
00:16:52forced my sleeping princess
00:16:53to snap her eyes open,
00:16:55letting out a weak,
00:16:56agonizing cry.
00:16:58But Vanessa was entirely unfazed.
00:17:01With a distorted,
00:17:02demonic sneer,
00:17:03she forced the entire bottle
00:17:05of icy, corrosive poison
00:17:06straight down
00:17:07my infant's tender throat.
00:17:09When I returned
00:17:09to the withered tower,
00:17:11thoroughly exhausted
00:17:13and clutching that tiny container
00:17:15of pure spring water
00:17:16tightly to my chest,
00:17:17what greeted me
00:17:18was not the gentle sound
00:17:19of my daughter's breathing,
00:17:20but a deathly silence.
00:17:22My heart skipped a beat
00:17:25and a boundless panic
00:17:26instantly seized me
00:17:28in a death grip.
00:17:30I practically crawled
00:17:31and scrambled my way
00:17:33toward that freezing stone bed.
00:17:37Iris.
00:17:39Mommy is back.
00:17:41The moment my trembling hands
00:17:43pulled back the swaddling clothes,
00:17:45the sight before me
00:17:46caused me to drop
00:17:47into an abyss of ice.
00:17:51Her originally pink little face
00:17:53was now completely white,
00:17:57even faintly tinged
00:17:59with an eerie,
00:18:00sickly green,
00:18:01deathly energy.
00:18:02What truly shattered my soul
00:18:04was that the faint
00:18:05golden elven divine mark
00:18:06on her forehead,
00:18:08which had been flickering softly,
00:18:10was now darkened
00:18:12across a massive area.
00:18:14Iris!
00:18:17Wake up.
00:18:19Look at Mommy.
00:18:21Don't scare Mommy.
00:18:23Sprinting once more
00:18:24toward the Wind Kingdom's infirmary,
00:18:30I slammed the infirmary doors open
00:18:33with immense force.
00:18:35The sitting doctor
00:18:36took one look
00:18:37at the infant in my arms,
00:18:38who was hanging onto life
00:18:40by a mere thread,
00:18:41and his face
00:18:42instantly changed color.
00:18:44His hands trembled
00:18:46as he probed the fluctuations
00:18:48within my daughter's body,
00:18:49his eyes filling with horror.
00:18:53Heavens!
00:18:54This is the forbidden poison
00:18:56that destroys the mana core!
00:18:59The child's natural core
00:19:00is withering away,
00:19:02inch by inch.
00:19:03She is in critical danger
00:19:05and will not survive
00:19:06past half a month.
00:19:07The doctor's words
00:19:08were like a massive hammer,
00:19:09smashing my heart
00:19:10to the point where I wished
00:19:12I could die on the spot.
00:19:14To suppress this aggressive toxin,
00:19:18we must immediately inject
00:19:20a powerful,
00:19:22compatible mana
00:19:23from her father's kingdom
00:19:25to protect her heart path.
00:19:28Otherwise...
00:19:29Trembling,
00:19:30I closed my eyes,
00:19:31disregarding any cost.
00:19:32I forcibly reversed
00:19:34the remaining essence
00:19:35within my body,
00:19:36frantically activating
00:19:37the soul transmission
00:19:38unique to the elven race.
00:19:40A connection never lightly opened
00:19:42unless it was a matter
00:19:43of life or death.
00:19:45Rowan!
00:19:45Save our daughter!
00:19:47Save our daughter!
00:19:48From the other end,
00:19:49there was only a deathly silence,
00:19:51followed by a completely
00:19:52heartless rejection.
00:19:54Rowan had actually severed
00:19:56my soul transmission,
00:19:57treating my soul cry for hair
00:19:59entirely as nothing.
00:20:15I knelt on the freezing floor
00:20:16of the infirmary,
00:20:17sending out the soul transmission
00:20:18over and over again.
00:20:20Even though maintaining it
00:20:21for every additional second
00:20:22brought a tearing,
00:20:23agonizing pain
00:20:24to my dried up sea of consciousness,
00:20:26I refused to let go.
00:20:28At this moment,
00:20:29inside the Wind Kingdom's
00:20:30main manor,
00:20:32Ronan was patiently
00:20:33keeping Vanessa
00:20:34and her son company.
00:20:35Three-year-old Jasper,
00:20:37dressed in a luxurious outfit
00:20:38embroidered with green leaves
00:20:40and gold thread,
00:20:41was pulling back
00:20:42a delicate short
00:20:43wooden monobow.
00:20:47When he hit the bullseye,
00:20:49it drew bursts of gasps
00:20:51and praise
00:20:52from the surrounding
00:20:53attendants,
00:20:54perhaps perturbed
00:20:55and annoyed
00:20:56by my weeping,
00:20:57blood-soaked pleas
00:20:58that continuously
00:20:59echoed in his mind
00:21:01like an act
00:21:02of self-mutilation
00:21:03after coldly
00:21:04cutting it off
00:21:05over a dozen times.
00:21:06Ronan finally
00:21:07accepted the connection.
00:21:09His phantom projection
00:21:10materialized in midair,
00:21:12looking down
00:21:13at my battered
00:21:13and wretched form
00:21:14from a great height,
00:21:15his eyes filled
00:21:16with absolute impatience
00:21:18and disgust.
00:21:19Serafana,
00:21:21haven't you thrown
00:21:22enough of a tantrum?
00:21:23Is the soul transmission
00:21:24something you use
00:21:27as a prop
00:21:28to throw jealous fits?
00:21:30Ronan,
00:21:31no,
00:21:32Iris has been poisoned.
00:21:33Her mana core
00:21:34is about to shatter
00:21:35and the doctor said
00:21:36we must have
00:21:37the compatible mana
00:21:38from your body
00:21:38immediately
00:21:39to protect her heart path.
00:21:41I beg you,
00:21:43come and see her.
00:21:45Poisoned?
00:21:46The moment Vanessa
00:21:47and Jasper move
00:21:48into the main house,
00:21:50you begin fabricating
00:21:52such an absurd lie.
00:21:54Are you trying
00:21:54to curse my heir?
00:21:56I am not lying!
00:21:59She is really
00:22:00about to die.
00:22:04Enough!
00:22:07I know you are resentful
00:22:09because you gave birth
00:22:11to a daughter
00:22:13and your position
00:22:14as the Lord's Concord
00:22:15is insecure.
00:22:16But I am warning you,
00:22:19do not use a child
00:22:21as an excuse
00:22:24to disturb me.
00:22:27Jasper has to try
00:22:28on his robes
00:22:29for the dawn celebration
00:22:30in a moment.
00:22:30I have no time
00:22:34to play mad
00:22:35with you.
00:22:38Dropping these piercingly
00:22:40cold words,
00:22:41Ronion did not wait
00:22:42for me
00:22:43to utter another syllable
00:22:44before callously
00:22:46cutting off
00:22:47the soul transmission
00:22:48with a wave
00:22:48of his hand.
00:22:50The phantom projection
00:22:52in mid-air
00:22:53dissolved instantly
00:22:54and along with it,
00:22:56the very last shred
00:22:58of my hope
00:22:58was crushed
00:23:00to pieces.
00:23:02After the soul transmission
00:23:04was severed,
00:23:05Ronion stared
00:23:05at his empty palm,
00:23:07his brow frowned
00:23:07tightly together.
00:23:08Even though he utterly
00:23:09detested Serafina's
00:23:10jealous fits,
00:23:11he hearing a word
00:23:12like dying
00:23:12still caused a faint,
00:23:14inexplicable wave
00:23:15of irritation
00:23:15and uneasiness
00:23:16to ripple
00:23:17through the depths
00:23:17of his heart.
00:23:18Vanessa,
00:23:18who was watching
00:23:19from the side,
00:23:20keenly captured
00:23:21the shift
00:23:22in Ronion's expression.
00:23:23A flash of panic
00:23:25crossed her eyes,
00:23:26but it was quickly
00:23:27replaced
00:23:28by a profound,
00:23:29calculating look.
00:23:30Vanessa stepped
00:23:31forward gently,
00:23:32considerably smoothing
00:23:33out the wrinkles
00:23:34on Ronion's groves
00:23:35as she spoke
00:23:35in a strained,
00:23:36high-pitched voice.
00:23:38Ronion,
00:23:38the primary mistress
00:23:39wept so heartbreakingly
00:23:40during the soul transmission.
00:23:41It has left my heart
00:23:42in a bit of a flutter
00:23:43as well.
00:23:44How about we go
00:23:45to the infirmary
00:23:46to take a look right now?
00:23:47After all,
00:23:48the little princess
00:23:49is also your flesh and blood.
00:23:50He absolutely mustn't
00:23:52let anything terrible happen.
00:23:53Seeing Vanessa
00:23:54being so magnanimous
00:23:55in understanding,
00:23:56the irritation
00:23:57in Ronion's heart
00:23:58dissipated quite a bit,
00:23:59and he nodded immediately.
00:24:01Very well.
00:24:02We will do as you say.
00:24:04I want to see
00:24:06what kind of tricks
00:24:07she can fabric.
00:24:09Then I will go prepare
00:24:10some monaspring water
00:24:10to soothe the child's mind.
00:24:13Wait for me a moment.
00:24:15Vanessa turned around,
00:24:16and the moment
00:24:16she was at an angle
00:24:17where Ronion could not see her,
00:24:19the tenderness
00:24:19on her face
00:24:20stently transformed
00:24:21into a twisted,
00:24:22venomous malice.
00:24:23She did not go
00:24:23to prepare any spring water.
00:24:25Instead,
00:24:26she dispatched
00:24:26Trust Vicent
00:24:27carrying heavy gold
00:24:28monocrystals
00:24:29to secretly bribe
00:24:30the doctor
00:24:31who had received Iris.
00:24:32When Vanessa accompanied
00:24:33Ronion and arrived
00:24:34at the infirmary
00:24:35in a hurried rush,
00:24:36she took advantage
00:24:37of a gap
00:24:37while Ronion was speaking
00:24:38with the nurses outside,
00:24:39using the excuse
00:24:40of checking in,
00:24:41first to stealthily slip
00:24:42into the patient room
00:24:43ahead of him,
00:24:44entirely unnoticed.
00:24:46Staring at the infant
00:24:47on the hospital bed
00:24:48who was hanging
00:24:48onto life
00:24:49by a mere thread,
00:24:50the divine mark
00:24:52on her forehead
00:24:52flickering erratly.
00:24:53She ruthless gleam
00:24:55flashed through
00:24:55Vanessa's eye.
00:24:58She pulled
00:24:59an advanced,
00:25:00consecutive
00:25:00illusion potion
00:25:02from her sleeve,
00:25:03a formula capable
00:25:04of temporarily
00:25:05suppressing toxicity
00:25:06and forging
00:25:07a false appearance
00:25:09of health.
00:25:09Pinching the little
00:25:10prince's delicate neck,
00:25:12she poured
00:25:12the illusion potion
00:25:13down without
00:25:14the slightest hesitation.
00:25:16The instant
00:25:16the illusion potion
00:25:17entered her mouth,
00:25:18the sickly green
00:25:19deathly energy
00:25:20on the little princess's face
00:25:22began to recede rapidly
00:25:23and the divine mark
00:25:24that was on the verge
00:25:25of cracking
00:25:27eerily smoothed over.
00:25:29Even her burning
00:25:30body temperature
00:25:31began to return
00:25:31to normal
00:25:32at a rapid pace.
00:25:33Aside from falling
00:25:34into a deep slumber,
00:25:36she looked exactly
00:25:37like a healthy infant
00:25:38who had merely
00:25:39caught an ordinary chill
00:25:40and was sleeping
00:25:41peacefully.
00:25:43The moment Ronan
00:25:44pushed open the door
00:25:45to the patient room,
00:25:46I was collapsed
00:25:48by the bedside,
00:25:48my eyes filled
00:25:49with absolute disbelief
00:25:51as I stared
00:25:52at my daughter.
00:25:53Just moments ago
00:25:54after Vanessa
00:25:55came in,
00:25:56under a false pretext,
00:25:58the deathly energy
00:25:59on Iris's face
00:26:00suddenly vanished.
00:26:01Even her shriveled,
00:26:03divine mark
00:26:04smoothed out.
00:26:06Ronan stepped forward
00:26:07with a freezing expression.
00:26:12He only touched
00:26:13her forehead.
00:26:16Irissa,
00:26:17her temperature
00:26:18was normal,
00:26:19her breathing
00:26:19was steady.
00:26:22Then he whipped
00:26:23his head around,
00:26:24staring dead
00:26:25at my deathly
00:26:26pale face.
00:26:27His voice
00:26:28was sharp,
00:26:30cutting,
00:26:30and poisoned.
00:26:32Seraphana!
00:26:33This is the
00:26:34life-threatening
00:26:35danger you spoke of?
00:26:37This is the
00:26:38shattered core
00:26:39you claimed?
00:26:41Her temperature
00:26:42is normal,
00:26:43her breathing
00:26:44is steady.
00:26:45As the Lord's
00:26:46Concord,
00:26:46you dared
00:26:47to deceive me.
00:26:49Using your
00:26:50newborn daughter
00:26:51as bait
00:26:51for a jealous tantrum,
00:26:54you disgust me.
00:26:56Looking at
00:26:57his furious face,
00:26:58my entire body
00:26:59turned cold.
00:27:00No!
00:27:01Ronan,
00:27:01listen to me!
00:27:02Just moments ago,
00:27:03she was not like this!
00:27:04It was Vanessa!
00:27:05She came in just now!
00:27:07She fed something
00:27:08to Modell!
00:27:08But Ronan
00:27:09did not believe me
00:27:10for even a second.
00:27:12So I turned
00:27:13to the doctor
00:27:14beside us,
00:27:14as if he were
00:27:16my last saving straw.
00:27:17Doctor,
00:27:19speak up!
00:27:21You clearly
00:27:22told me
00:27:22had been struck
00:27:24by a forbidden
00:27:24poison.
00:27:25You said it was
00:27:26destroying her core,
00:27:27and she would not
00:27:28survive half a month!
00:27:29But the doctor,
00:27:30who had been pale
00:27:31with Terra moments ago,
00:27:32had already accepted
00:27:33Vanessa's massive bribe.
00:27:35He did not dare
00:27:35look at me.
00:27:37Then,
00:27:37syllable by syllable,
00:27:38he pushed me
00:27:39into the abyss.
00:27:40Reporting to the Lord,
00:27:41the little princess
00:27:42merely caught a bit
00:27:42of a breeze,
00:27:43but there may be
00:27:44owed up.
00:27:44It is only
00:27:45ordinary discomfort.
00:27:46The primary mistress
00:27:47is unsettled
00:27:48after childbirth,
00:27:49overly sensitive
00:27:49and blowing a small
00:27:50matter out of proportion.
00:27:51My entire world
00:27:52shattered like a bolt
00:27:52for moments of blue.
00:27:53How could it
00:27:53suddenly change?
00:27:55Watching me fall
00:27:56to the ground
00:27:57in a distrevelled,
00:27:57helpless state,
00:27:59Vanessa,
00:28:00hidden just behind
00:28:00Ronan,
00:28:01let a fleeting,
00:28:02venomous smile
00:28:02of triumph play
00:28:03on the corners
00:28:04of her lips.
00:28:05Then,
00:28:06stepping forward
00:28:06at the perfect moment,
00:28:08she submissively
00:28:08wrapped her arm
00:28:09aground Ronan's,
00:28:10practically melting
00:28:11half her body
00:28:12into his embrace.
00:28:13While casting
00:28:14feigned looks of pity
00:28:15at the little princess
00:28:16on the sickbed,
00:28:17she continuously
00:28:18blew poisonous whispers
00:28:19into Ronan's ear.
00:28:20Ronan,
00:28:21don't blame
00:28:22the primary mistress
00:28:23too much.
00:28:24Iris is a girl
00:28:25after all,
00:28:26born with a weak
00:28:27constitution.
00:28:28It is only natural
00:28:29she panicked
00:28:29when a minor chill
00:28:30threw the child
00:28:31into such a state.
00:28:32It's just,
00:28:34the primary mistress
00:28:35is far too sensitive,
00:28:37always catching
00:28:38its shadows
00:28:39and blowing
00:28:40minor inconveniences
00:28:41entirely out
00:28:42of proportion.
00:28:43She looked up,
00:28:44her eyes brimming
00:28:45with tenderness
00:28:45and adoration.
00:28:47Jasper's succession
00:28:48ceremony is in
00:28:48just two days.
00:28:50That is the true
00:28:50matter of gravity
00:28:51for the kingdom's
00:28:52legacy.
00:28:53We cannot let
00:28:54Seraphina delay
00:28:55your proper business
00:28:56over these trivial
00:28:57backyard squabbles.
00:29:01Let us return
00:29:02to the main manor.
00:29:03We shouldn't let
00:29:04her hysteria
00:29:05ruin our precious
00:29:06time with Jasper.
00:29:11Ronan averted
00:29:12his eyes in disgust,
00:29:13refusing to grant
00:29:14even half a glance
00:29:15to his biological
00:29:16daughter on the sickbed.
00:29:18Vanessa,
00:29:18you are the one
00:29:19who is truly sensible.
00:29:21Come,
00:29:21let us return.
00:29:23And ignore
00:29:24this mad woman.
00:29:25If she wishes
00:29:26to stay here
00:29:27and make a spectacle
00:29:28of herself,
00:29:29let her be.
00:29:30Leaning triumphantly
00:29:31against Ronan,
00:29:32Vanessa accompanied
00:29:33him as he strode
00:29:33out of the infirmary.
00:29:35Only when the
00:29:35footsteps of the
00:29:36pair had completely
00:29:37faded,
00:29:38did the doctor,
00:29:39who had been
00:29:40kneeling on the
00:29:40ground,
00:29:41suddenly collapse
00:29:42in a heap.
00:29:43He scrambled
00:29:44on his hands
00:29:44and knees
00:29:45to my feet,
00:29:46cooting frantically
00:29:47while crying out
00:29:48in absolute despair.
00:29:50Your highness,
00:29:51primary mistress,
00:29:52please do not
00:29:53blame me.
00:29:55I deserve to die.
00:29:56I deserve to die.
00:29:58Why did you
00:29:59lie just now?
00:30:00Madam Vanessa
00:30:01has officially
00:30:02moved into the
00:30:02Lord's main mansion
00:30:03with the air
00:30:04and enjoys
00:30:05the Lord's
00:30:06absolute favor.
00:30:07She is the
00:30:08future primary
00:30:09mistress of the
00:30:10kingdom.
00:30:11Before the Lord
00:30:12entered just now,
00:30:13she pulled me aside
00:30:13and threatened
00:30:14that if I did not
00:30:15cooperate,
00:30:15she would take
00:30:16my entire family's
00:30:17lives tonight
00:30:17and even have
00:30:18the Lord take
00:30:18my head.
00:30:18She would truly
00:30:19kill me.
00:30:19Listening to the
00:30:20doctor's desperate
00:30:21wails,
00:30:21I looked at my
00:30:22daughter on the
00:30:22sickbed,
00:30:23whose condition
00:30:23was forcibly masked
00:30:24as peaceful by
00:30:25the illusionless poison.
00:30:25Ronan,
00:30:26to cater to your
00:30:27first love,
00:30:27you personally
00:30:28abandoned the
00:30:28sole opportunity
00:30:29to save your
00:30:30biological daughter.
00:30:31You will live
00:30:32to regret this.
00:30:36Three days later,
00:30:38Elid spared no
00:30:39expense,
00:30:40utilizing over
00:30:41half of the
00:30:41Wind Kingdom's
00:30:42treasury to
00:30:43organize an
00:30:44incredibly extravagant
00:30:45dawn trial for
00:30:46three-year-old
00:30:47Jasper.
00:30:47The streets of
00:30:49the main city
00:30:50were carpeted
00:30:51with sacred
00:30:51florencent petals
00:30:52and they went
00:30:54so far as to
00:30:56exceptionally tame
00:30:57nine pure white
00:30:58unicorns to draw
00:31:01a crystal-invented
00:31:02float in a high-profile
00:31:05parade across the
00:31:06territory.
00:31:09As Vanessa held
00:31:10the hand of a
00:31:11magnificently dressed
00:31:12Jasper, his delicate
00:31:14little elven wings
00:31:15fluttering, and
00:31:17ascended the
00:31:18float, waves of
00:31:20deafening cheers
00:31:21erupted across the
00:31:22skies of the
00:31:23Wind Kingdom.
00:31:24Meanwhile, in a
00:31:25dark corner of the
00:31:25Grand Hall, I
00:31:27cradled my daughter,
00:31:28whose life force was
00:31:29growing fainter by
00:31:30the moment, watching
00:31:31this absurd fast with
00:31:32cold distachment.
00:31:34Without the Lord's
00:31:35explicit permission,
00:31:36my daughter and I
00:31:37lacked even the
00:31:38right to enter the
00:31:39main hall.
00:31:42Forced to stand in
00:31:43the freezing wind of
00:31:44the outer gallery.
00:31:45Just then, Vanessa,
00:31:47basking in the
00:31:48adoration atop the
00:31:49float, spotted my
00:31:51figure from afar.
00:31:52With a flicker in
00:31:52her eyes, she
00:31:53intentionally walked
00:31:54towards me with a
00:31:55smug smile.
00:31:56Covering her mouth
00:31:57with a handkerchief,
00:31:58she let out a feigned
00:31:59sigh of self-reploach,
00:32:01though her eyes were
00:32:02filled with
00:32:02condescending charity.
00:32:04Sister, do not blame
00:32:06Mother and Ronin for
00:32:07being heartless.
00:32:07The Withered Tower
00:32:08is peaceful, making
00:32:10it the perfect place
00:32:11for your magic-deficient
00:32:12daughter to recuperate.
00:32:13Today is our
00:32:14Jasper's succession
00:32:14celebration.
00:32:15You shouldn't have
00:32:16brought her out in
00:32:16the first place.
00:32:17Look at her.
00:32:18Even her divine mark
00:32:19is on the verge of
00:32:20dispersing.
00:32:21We must not let her
00:32:23clash with Jasper's
00:32:24unicorn fortune after
00:32:26today.
00:32:27Jasper will be the
00:32:28rightful first heir,
00:32:29while you, the
00:32:30primary mistress, are
00:32:31fit only to watch us
00:32:32ascend to the peak
00:32:33from the mud for the
00:32:34rest of your life!
00:32:35While Vanessa
00:32:35subjected me to
00:32:36endless mockery,
00:32:37the parade reached
00:32:38its absolute climax.
00:32:41Clad in a magnificent
00:32:42silver-white robe,
00:32:43a commanding and
00:32:44majestic Ronin
00:32:45ascended the central
00:32:46divine altar
00:32:47under the gaze of
00:32:48the masses.
00:32:49Raising his hands,
00:32:50he used amplification
00:32:51magic to declare to
00:32:53the entire field,
00:32:54his voice echoing
00:32:55through the heavens,
00:32:56arrogant and ecstatic.
00:32:58Today is not only
00:32:59the celebratory feast,
00:33:01establishing my son
00:33:02Jasper's status as heir,
00:33:04but the starting point
00:33:05for our wind kingdoms
00:33:06to march towards the
00:33:07peak of all kingdoms!
00:33:09I officially announce
00:33:10here that we are
00:33:10exerting every effort
00:33:12to secure multiple
00:33:13major cooperations
00:33:14with the mysterious
00:33:15and supreme
00:33:16High Elven King
00:33:17of the Sanctuary!
00:33:18I couldn't help but laugh.
00:33:20The supreme High Elven King
00:33:21they were so desperately
00:33:22trying to fawn over?
00:33:23That's my father.
00:33:24It's time for me to
00:33:25turn the tables.
00:33:27The moment these words
00:33:29were spoken,
00:33:29a massive uproar
00:33:32rippled through the crowd.
00:33:35The High Elven King
00:33:36was the supreme ruler
00:33:37of the entire Elven world.
00:33:41A godlike existence.
00:33:44If they could obtain
00:33:45even a shred
00:33:46of that lord's favor,
00:33:47the Wind Kingdom
00:33:48could instantly ascend
00:33:49into the ranks
00:33:50of the super kingdoms.
00:33:52Ronin's face was flushed
00:33:54with absolute pride.
00:33:55His features bearing
00:33:56an unmaskable arrogance
00:33:59as he turned
00:34:00an affectionate gaze
00:34:01to Vanessa and Jasper.
00:34:05Once this cooperation
00:34:06is finalized,
00:34:07Jasper will not only
00:34:08be the king
00:34:09of the Wind Kingdom,
00:34:12but the most noble
00:34:13young commander
00:34:14of the future sanctuary!
00:34:16I shall use
00:34:17the eternal prosperity
00:34:18of the supreme sanctuary
00:34:20to make up
00:34:21for the Grieges.
00:34:23Vanessa
00:34:23and her son
00:34:24suffered
00:34:25over the past
00:34:26three years!
00:34:28Vanessa cast
00:34:29a provocative glance
00:34:30at me,
00:34:31her eyes brimming
00:34:32with ostentatience
00:34:33and disdain.
00:34:34Ronin's gaze toward me
00:34:36was also filled
00:34:36with ultimate coldness,
00:34:38as if mocking
00:34:39my instant
00:34:40magnificence
00:34:40and incompetence.
00:34:42However,
00:34:42watching Ronin's
00:34:43self-righteous declaration,
00:34:44I felt not a single
00:34:46shred of anger.
00:34:47Instead,
00:34:48I lowered my head
00:34:49and gently kissed
00:34:50the suppressed divine mark
00:34:51on my daughter's forehead.
00:34:53The sole direct bloodline
00:34:55of the High Elven King
00:34:57is,
00:34:58at this very moment,
00:35:00lying within the swaddling clothes
00:35:02you have dismissed
00:35:04as worthless garbage.
00:35:08Ronin,
00:35:09the supreme divinity
00:35:11you are scheming
00:35:12to please
00:35:13by any means necessary
00:35:15is the very person
00:35:17you have personally
00:35:18pushed into the abyss
00:35:19and trampled upon
00:35:21in every way.
00:35:22Me.
00:35:23The corners of my lips
00:35:24furved into an icy arc
00:35:25and the suppressed rage
00:35:27and hatred in my heart
00:35:28transformed into
00:35:29the most ruthless anticipation
00:35:31at this moment.
00:35:33Wind Kingdom,
00:35:35the final revelry
00:35:36of your lives
00:35:37ends here.
00:35:42After a few days
00:35:44of revelry,
00:35:44the disguise
00:35:45of the illusion potion
00:35:47finally collapsed
00:35:49like a castle of sand
00:35:51lying on the stone bed
00:35:52of the withered tower.
00:35:53The toxins within
00:35:54my daughter's body
00:35:55broke past all restraint,
00:35:57erupting violently.
00:35:58She fell
00:35:58into a prolonged coma,
00:36:01her tiny body
00:36:01burning with a terrifying fever.
00:36:04Her lips cracked and pale,
00:36:05her breathing reduced
00:36:06to a flickering candle
00:36:07in the wind,
00:36:10liable to extinguish
00:36:12at any moment.
00:36:13I knelt by the bedside,
00:36:15my magic entirely dried up,
00:36:18leaving me helpless
00:36:19as I pressed my cheek
00:36:21against her icy little hand.
00:36:23My tears long since dried.
00:36:26Just as I was on the verge
00:36:28of despairing unto death,
00:36:29the wooden door
00:36:30of the high tower
00:36:31was suddenly pushed open
00:36:33in a frenzy.
00:36:34The Wind Kingdom doctor
00:36:35burst in,
00:36:36dripping with sweat,
00:36:37his eyes a tangled mess
00:36:39of guilt and terror.
00:36:40With trembling hands,
00:36:42he presented a crystal bottle,
00:36:44radiating a warm,
00:36:46sacred golden light
00:36:47like the midday sun.
00:36:49This medicine
00:36:50can neutralize all poisons,
00:36:51save those on the brink of death,
00:36:53and immensely nourish
00:36:54the bloodline
00:36:55of an elven babe.
00:36:56Please,
00:36:57feed it to the little princess quickly.
00:36:59This is her sole path
00:37:00to survival.
00:37:01Staring at that ball
00:37:02of sacred golden light,
00:37:03my deadened heart
00:37:04began to beat frantically.
00:37:05I snatched
00:37:06the spiritual medicine,
00:37:07clutching it tightly
00:37:08to my chest,
00:37:08my heart overflowing
00:37:09with joy
00:37:10as I believed
00:37:11my daughter
00:37:11was finally saved.
00:37:13Trembling,
00:37:13I pulled the cork,
00:37:15preparing to feed
00:37:16this life-saving drop
00:37:18into my daughter's mouth.
00:37:20When the tower door
00:37:20was violently blown open
00:37:22with a resounding clash,
00:37:24a wild wind rushed in
00:37:25as Alina,
00:37:27flanked by her attendants,
00:37:29strode in
00:37:29with a majestic
00:37:30yet greedy expression.
00:37:32Before I could even react,
00:37:33she ruthlessly
00:37:34snatched the crystal bottle
00:37:36right out of my hands!
00:37:40Illion gripped the flask
00:37:41of sacred tree extract
00:37:42tightly.
00:37:43Feeling the boundless
00:37:44sacred energy
00:37:45swirling within,
00:37:46a fanatical greed
00:37:47erupted in her eyes.
00:37:49Give it back to me!
00:37:50That is Iris'
00:37:52life-saving medicine!
00:37:53I lunged forward
00:37:54like a madman
00:37:55to reclaim the medicine.
00:37:56Give it back!
00:37:58Only to be ruthlessly
00:37:59pinned to the ground
00:38:00by two high-tier guards
00:38:02using their magical staffs.
00:38:03My knees slammed
00:38:05against the hard stone tiles,
00:38:06emitting a sickening crack.
00:38:09Following closely behind,
00:38:11Ronan looked down at me
00:38:12with cold detachment,
00:38:14devoid of any pity.
00:38:16Alayda trembled
00:38:17with excitement,
00:38:18refusing to grant
00:38:19even a single glance
00:38:20to the dying daughter
00:38:21on the sickbed,
00:38:22her mind and heart
00:38:23entirely occupied
00:38:24by her precious
00:38:25eldest grandson.
00:38:26Roran!
00:38:27Look at this!
00:38:27This is the legendary
00:38:28sacred tree extract!
00:38:30Though three-year-old
00:38:31Jasper is
00:38:31extraordinarily gifted,
00:38:33his skeletal frame
00:38:34hasn't fully matured yet.
00:38:35If we let him drink
00:38:36this divine item,
00:38:38his wind magic
00:38:38will undergo
00:38:39a complete metamorphosis,
00:38:41allowing him
00:38:41to grow taller
00:38:42and more powerful
00:38:43than any peer,
00:38:44entirely solidifying
00:38:46his position
00:38:46as the first heir
00:38:47under the kingdom spotlight.
00:38:50Mother is correct.
00:38:52Leaving such a bloodline
00:38:53treasure in the
00:38:54Withered Tower
00:38:55would be an utter waste
00:38:56of a divine gift.
00:38:57Only Jasper
00:38:59is worthy
00:39:00of enjoying it.
00:39:01Vanessa walked in
00:39:02at that moment
00:39:02carrying three-year-old Jasper.
00:39:03Looking at me
00:39:04pinned to the ground
00:39:05by the guards,
00:39:06coughing up blood
00:39:07in a disheveled state,
00:39:08the triumph and amusement
00:39:09in her eyes
00:39:10threatened to spill over.
00:39:11The three of them
00:39:12huddled together,
00:39:12admiring the item
00:39:13as if inspecting
00:39:14a supreme treasure
00:39:15filled with praises,
00:39:16while I could only
00:39:17watch helplessly
00:39:18as the saving straw
00:39:20belonged to my daughter
00:39:21was stripped away
00:39:22completely.
00:39:24Amid my agonized weeping,
00:39:26that priceless flask
00:39:27of sacred tree extract
00:39:29was gently yet
00:39:30forcefully poured
00:39:31into the mouth
00:39:32of the perfectly
00:39:33lival Jasper
00:39:34by Eladid.
00:39:35The moment
00:39:36the divine item
00:39:37entered his mouth,
00:39:38a blinding golden current
00:39:39erupted across Jasper's body.
00:39:41Not only did his
00:39:42wind attribute magic
00:39:43surge instantly,
00:39:44but his height
00:39:45even seemed
00:39:46to increase
00:39:47slightly.
00:39:48The three-year-old toddler
00:39:49excitedly brashed
00:39:50at his magic
00:39:51in the hall,
00:39:52while Ronan and Vanessa
00:39:53surrounded him,
00:39:54letting out waves
00:39:55of absolute delight.
00:39:57The happier their laughter,
00:39:59the more shattered
00:40:00my heart became.
00:40:01Ronan looked down
00:40:02upon me
00:40:02as I lay limp
00:40:03on the ground,
00:40:03his cold words
00:40:04cutting like blades.
00:40:06Seraphina,
00:40:07cease your weeping here.
00:40:09Jasper is the future
00:40:11hope of the kingdom.
00:40:12Giving this medicine
00:40:13to him ensures
00:40:14it is put to its
00:40:15proper use.
00:40:16As for Iris,
00:40:18it has been said
00:40:19she merely has
00:40:20a common chill.
00:40:22It is not worth
00:40:23delaying proper business
00:40:24over her,
00:40:25and she certainly
00:40:26does not deserve
00:40:27a divine object
00:40:28like the sacred
00:40:28tree extract.
00:40:30Flicking his sleeves,
00:40:31Ronan turned
00:40:32and left heartlessly,
00:40:33taking the room's
00:40:34laughter with him.
00:40:35When they departed
00:40:36entirely,
00:40:37the tower plunged
00:40:38back into a
00:40:39deathly silence.
00:40:40I crawled to the bedside,
00:40:42looking at my
00:40:43empty hands,
00:40:45and then at my
00:40:45daughter,
00:40:46whose core was
00:40:47withering,
00:40:48as she spit out
00:40:49another mouthful
00:40:49of black blood
00:40:50from the poison
00:40:51gripping her heart.
00:40:52My daughter opened
00:40:53her eyes weakly,
00:40:54rubbing against my
00:40:54palm with a
00:40:55touch of attachment
00:40:56before sinking
00:40:57entirely into
00:40:57a deathly coldness.
00:40:59Slowly raising
00:41:00my right hand,
00:41:01I spared no cost
00:41:03to force out
00:41:04the final drop
00:41:04of supreme golden
00:41:06blood from my heart,
00:41:07drawing a sacred
00:41:08golden-winged
00:41:09armor in the void.
00:41:11Through the array,
00:41:12a connection was
00:41:13instantly forged
00:41:14to the deepest depths
00:41:15of the sanctuary,
00:41:17unleashing a supreme
00:41:18pressure that made
00:41:19all kingdoms tremble.
00:41:20my daughter,
00:41:21you are finally willing
00:41:22to contact your father.
00:41:24You have suffered
00:41:24these past three years.
00:41:26Cradling the icy form
00:41:27tightly in my arms,
00:41:28tears of blood
00:41:28tracing down my face.
00:41:30My voice was completely
00:41:30calm, devoid of a single
00:41:32ripple has been from
00:41:33emotion.
00:41:33My daughter is dying.
00:41:34Please open the gates
00:41:35of the sanctuary
00:41:35and take us mother and
00:41:36daughter home.
00:41:38The supreme array
00:41:39faded into the air
00:41:40and forcing my dying,
00:41:42battered body forward,
00:41:43I carried my daughter
00:41:45out of the withered tower.
00:41:46My daughter's fragile form
00:41:48barely clung to life.
00:41:49Without disturbing anyone,
00:41:51I walked step by step
00:41:53to the center of the territory,
00:41:55stopping before
00:41:55the tree of life.
00:41:57Then I was won't be road of
00:41:58to stand into the
00:41:59Yubur Mayan number stool.
00:42:02Swearing by the supreme
00:42:03bloodline,
00:42:04I sever the covenant
00:42:05and erase my holy name
00:42:07here today.
00:42:12Inside the main manor,
00:42:14Ronan felt a sudden
00:42:16violent spasm of pain
00:42:18strike his chest.
00:42:21Ronan,
00:42:22three years of marital
00:42:23devotion has been
00:42:24personally severed
00:42:25by your hand today.
00:42:26The trampling you granted
00:42:27me I have accepted.
00:42:28From this day forward,
00:42:29we shall not meet again
00:42:30in life nor death.
00:42:31Seraphina,
00:42:32what madness are you
00:42:33throwing now over such
00:42:34a trivial matter
00:42:35and you would go so far
00:42:35as to harm your own body
00:42:37to forge a fortune backlash.
00:42:38I have no time to play
00:42:39these cat and mouse games
00:42:40with you.
00:42:41If you have the ability
00:42:42to leave,
00:42:42then ensure you never return.
00:42:46Esther has simply
00:42:47been spoiled by her.
00:42:48In a couple of days,
00:42:50once she has suffered
00:42:50enough outside,
00:42:52she will naturally
00:42:52come back begging
00:42:53on her knees.
00:42:54Let us ignore her.
00:42:57That night,
00:42:59the entire main manor
00:43:00of the Wind Kingdom
00:43:02was brightly lit
00:43:04and adorned
00:43:05with festive decorations.
00:43:07To celebrate
00:43:07three-year-old Jasper
00:43:09consuming the sacred tree extract
00:43:11and experiencing
00:43:12a surge in magic,
00:43:14Aline ordered
00:43:15an all-night festival
00:43:16of music and dance.
00:43:18Inside the magnificent
00:43:20main hall,
00:43:21the aroma of fine wine
00:43:22filled the air
00:43:23as countless
00:43:23high-tier elves
00:43:24raised their glasses
00:43:25in unison,
00:43:26surrounding Vanessa
00:43:27and her son at the center
00:43:28with absolute flattery
00:43:30and obdaciousness.
00:43:31Ronan sat upon his throne,
00:43:33looking at his
00:43:34triumphant eldest son,
00:43:36his eyes filled
00:43:37with pride and certainty
00:43:39that the kingdom
00:43:40was about to ascend
00:43:41to the peak
00:43:42of all kingdoms.
00:43:43The hypocritical
00:43:45and fanatical cheers
00:43:46echoed through
00:43:47the night sky,
00:43:48transforming the entire
00:43:50temple into a city
00:43:52that never slept.
00:43:53Yet no one noticed
00:43:54that on the desolate path
00:43:56at the outmost edge
00:43:57of the main city,
00:43:58leading towards
00:43:59the Forbidden Forest,
00:44:00a slender and resolute figure
00:44:01was carrying a swaddling cloth,
00:44:03stepping into the
00:44:04boundless curtain of night.
00:44:05The freezing rain
00:44:06slammed down merseusely.
00:44:07Serafina's face
00:44:08was deathly still,
00:44:09but her hands held
00:44:10the daughter in her arms
00:44:11with absolute tightness.
00:44:13Iris's breathing
00:44:13within the cloth
00:44:14was faint,
00:44:15her tiny body
00:44:16gradually turning
00:44:16stirby and cold.
00:44:17Serafina did not
00:44:18cast a single glance back
00:44:19at the false prosperity
00:44:20of the Wind Kingdom
00:44:21behind her.
00:44:22Her eyes held no more tears,
00:44:24only an indifference
00:44:25that chilled to the bone.
00:44:27The singing and dancing
00:44:28inside the main hall
00:44:29continued,
00:44:29and Ronan was smiling
00:44:30as he accepted
00:44:31the fine wine
00:44:31handed to him by Vanessa.
00:44:33At that exact instant,
00:44:34deep within the dark forest
00:44:35far away,
00:44:36the violent cold wind
00:44:37came to an abrupt halt
00:44:38without warning.
00:44:38A sliver of incredibly noble,
00:44:40sacred and tore through
00:44:41the darkness
00:44:41of the polar night.
00:44:42The frame foes
00:44:43at the edge
00:44:43of the dark,
00:44:44silent forest.
00:44:45The sounds of the Wind Kingdom
00:44:46celebratory songs
00:44:47and laughed
00:44:47still echoed faintly,
00:44:49but the moment
00:44:49the mother and girl's
00:44:50slender yet matchlessly
00:44:51noble fears
00:44:52that sliver of golden light,
00:44:53they instantly transformed
00:44:54into a remnant gleam,
00:44:56vanishing completely
00:44:57into the endless night.
00:44:59The sacred light
00:45:00erupted outward
00:45:01at the center
00:45:02of the royal hall
00:45:03in the supreme sanctuary,
00:45:04holding my daughter,
00:45:05who had practically
00:45:06stopped breathing.
00:45:08I finally collapsed
00:45:09onto my knees
00:45:09against the flawless
00:45:10white jade floor tiles,
00:45:12my strength entirely spent.
00:45:13My long hair
00:45:14was soaked through
00:45:15by the terricious rain
00:45:16sticking messily
00:45:17to my deathly pale cheeks.
00:45:18The weakness
00:45:18of post-parting recovery,
00:45:19comboled with the trauma
00:45:20of forcibly reversing
00:45:21my source power,
00:45:22caused me to leave
00:45:23a striking trail of blood
00:45:24with every step.
00:45:25Sitting high upon his throne,
00:45:26my father rose abruptly.
00:45:27When he clearly saw
00:45:28my broken state
00:45:29at the bottom of the steps,
00:45:30his majestic noble face,
00:45:31which had 10,000 years
00:45:32of history,
00:45:33trembled violently
00:45:34with immense shock
00:45:35and heartache.
00:45:36Moving like a blur,
00:45:38he materialized by my side
00:45:39in an instant,
00:45:40his hands shaking
00:45:41as he tried to lift me up.
00:45:43My daughter!
00:45:44How did you become
00:45:45like this?
00:45:48Your supreme magic,
00:45:49which even 10,000 kingdoms
00:45:51look up to,
00:45:52why has it withered
00:45:53to such an extent?
00:45:56I slowly raised my head,
00:45:58the tears of blood
00:45:59at the corners of my eye
00:45:59long since dried.
00:46:00I did not cry out.
00:46:02I merely used
00:46:02the final shred of strength
00:46:03in my body
00:46:04to tremblingly present
00:46:05the swaddling cloth
00:46:05to my father.
00:46:06Father, save her.
00:46:08She is Ronin's
00:46:09biological flesh and blood,
00:46:11yet they dismissed her
00:46:12as a lowly wretch.
00:46:13To steal her
00:46:13life-saving medicine,
00:46:14they fed my iris
00:46:16forbidden illusion potions
00:46:17to forcibly mask the truth.
00:46:18She has been poisoned
00:46:19with soul-eating grass,
00:46:21and her magic core
00:46:22is on the verge
00:46:22of shattering.
00:46:23My father took
00:46:24the tiny swatting floth
00:46:25with trembling hands.
00:46:26When his divine sense
00:46:28swept across his
00:46:28granddaughter's
00:46:29battered natural core,
00:46:30which was being
00:46:31ravenously consumed
00:46:32by the poison,
00:46:33this supreme gaiety
00:46:34who ruled over
00:46:35the entire sanctuary
00:46:36felt his eyes
00:46:37turn instantly bloodluck,
00:46:38immediately following
00:46:39a terrifying world-destroying
00:46:42pressure erupted
00:46:43violently from his body.
00:46:47In an instant,
00:46:49the skies above
00:46:50the entire supreme sanctuary
00:46:51shifted dramatically
00:46:52as the once bright heavens
00:46:53were enveloped
00:46:53by rolling black clouds
00:46:54and violent thunderbolts.
00:46:56The ancient vines
00:46:57surrounding the royal hall,
00:46:58which had flourished
00:46:58for tens of thousands
00:46:59of years,
00:47:00seemed to feel
00:47:01the king's ultimate fury,
00:47:02trembling wildly
00:47:03and thrashing against the ground
00:47:04as the entire sacred mountain
00:47:06shook violently
00:47:07under the divine rage.
00:47:08My father raised
00:47:09his right hand high,
00:47:10the destructive divine lightning
00:47:11flashing frankly
00:47:12at his fingertips.
00:47:13He stared dead
00:47:14at his dying granddaughter
00:47:15within the cloth,
00:47:16his gnashing words
00:47:17wrapped in supreme divine authority
00:47:19as they echoed
00:47:20through heaven and earth.
00:47:21The wind kingdom?
00:47:22Ronan!
00:47:23You ants dare to torture
00:47:24my only daughter
00:47:25in such a manner
00:47:26and strike ruthlessly
00:47:27against my newborn granddaughter.
00:47:29Pass down my
00:47:30dissension pathways
00:47:31the wind kingdom!
00:47:32Whosoever dares harm
00:47:33my grawish,
00:47:34I shall demand
00:47:34their entire kingdom
00:47:35accompany her in death!
00:47:38To rescue Iris
00:47:39from the brink of death,
00:47:40my father did not hesitate
00:47:41for a moment,
00:47:42immediately ordering
00:47:43the opening of the life core
00:47:45of the ancient sacred tree
00:47:46that had lived for 100,000 years
00:47:48within the forbidden grounds.
00:47:50This was the energy source
00:47:51of the entire elfin world,
00:47:54a place where even
00:47:55the high priests
00:47:56of the sanctuary
00:47:56had no right
00:47:57to approach normally.
00:47:59Yet it was fully open today
00:48:01for my daughter.
00:48:02Every top holy tier healer
00:48:04within the sanctuary
00:48:05was assembled overnight.
00:48:12The golden life core
00:48:13floated gently
00:48:13above the sickbed,
00:48:14radiating a soft,
00:48:15vast,
00:48:16and ocean-like purity
00:48:17of magic.
00:48:17A canopy of brilliant
00:48:18golden light
00:48:19wrapped around Iris'
00:48:20tiny body layer by layer
00:48:21like a coon
00:48:22nourished by this
00:48:23immense life force.
00:48:24The faint golden
00:48:25divine mark
00:48:26on Iris' forehead,
00:48:27which had been nearly
00:48:28cracked and extinguished,
00:48:30finally flickered
00:48:31with a weak resonance
00:48:32under the caress
00:48:33of the divine light.
00:48:34I kept watch
00:48:35by the bedside,
00:48:36my face pale,
00:48:37never leaving her side
00:48:39for a single pace.
00:48:40I watched with my own eyes
00:48:42as those holy gris healers
00:48:43transformed secret medicines
00:48:45into golden needles,
00:48:46extracting the stubborn
00:48:47soul-eating grease poison
00:48:48from my daughter's body,
00:48:49inch by inch.
00:48:50Every time that the poison
00:48:52was forced out,
00:48:53my daughter would let
00:48:54our faint kitten-like
00:48:55whipper of pain,
00:48:56and those drops
00:48:57of black toxic blood
00:48:58would instantly corrode
00:48:59scorched hole
00:49:00into the pure white sheets
00:49:01upon hitting them.
00:49:02My daughter,
00:49:04watching her suffer,
00:49:05tore at my heart
00:49:06as if it were being cut
00:49:07by ten thousand blades.
00:49:09Ronan,
00:49:10Vanessa,
00:49:10the pain you inflicted
00:49:11upon my child,
00:49:12I will ensure you
00:49:13repay it a thousand times.
00:49:14It was a grueling
00:49:15two days and nights
00:49:17of hovering between
00:49:18life and death.
00:49:21As the first ray
00:49:22of the sanctuary's
00:49:23warm morning sun
00:49:24pierced through the window frame
00:49:26on the third day,
00:49:27Iris suddenly let out
00:49:28a resounding cry
00:49:29from the bed.
00:49:30That cry was no longer
00:49:32weak and filled
00:49:32with despair like before,
00:49:34but brimming
00:49:35with the strength
00:49:35of a new life.
00:49:36The golden divine mark
00:49:38on her forehead
00:49:38restored completely,
00:49:39and her once pale
00:49:41little face began
00:49:42to flush with color,
00:49:43her skin radiating
00:49:44a healthy glow.
00:49:46Congratulations, king!
00:49:47Congratulations, holy princess!
00:49:48The virilest poison
00:49:49within the little princess's
00:49:50body has completely dissolved.
00:49:52Not only is her life
00:49:52secured,
00:49:53but her bloodline
00:49:53has completely awa-
00:49:54looking at my daughter's face
00:49:55as she clenched
00:49:56her tiny fists
00:49:57and blue bubbles,
00:49:58the tears I had suppressed
00:49:59for three long years
00:50:00finally broke
00:50:01through the floodgates.
00:50:03The morning sun
00:50:04spilled across
00:50:05the luxurious couch
00:50:06when Vanessa was gently
00:50:07helping Ronan
00:50:07into his robes.
00:50:08However,
00:50:09Ronan's brow
00:50:09was furrowed tightly.
00:50:11His handsome face
00:50:12clouded with undeniable
00:50:13irritation and gloom.
00:50:14Right then,
00:50:14a panic-starting bell
00:50:15rang out from outside
00:50:16the main temple.
00:50:17Several elders
00:50:17scrambled into the hall,
00:50:18their faces as white as sheets.
00:50:20Lord!
00:50:21Disaster has struck!
00:50:22The soldiers guarding
00:50:22the ascension platform
00:50:23just reported
00:50:24that our kingdom's passage
00:50:25to the sanctuary
00:50:26has been violently locked
00:50:27from above
00:50:28by an unspeakable
00:50:29supreme divine authority.
00:50:31The gates of the divine realm
00:50:33are closed to us.
00:50:36What did you say?
00:50:38The passage is locked.
00:50:42Who could possibly
00:50:43have such power?
00:50:44In that instant,
00:50:45the image of Seraphina's
00:50:47cold, ruthless phantom
00:50:48before her departure
00:50:49flashed through his mind
00:50:50and his heart sank.
00:50:52Could it be
00:50:54Seraphina?
00:50:54But the moment
00:50:55the thought arose,
00:50:56it was instantly crushed
00:50:57by the deep-rooted arrogance
00:50:59in his heart.
00:50:59He let out a cold,
00:51:01self-decricketing laugh.
00:51:02Seraphina was nothing more
00:51:03than a lowly woman
00:51:04with no background,
00:51:06inferior even to
00:51:06a low-tier elf
00:51:07of the Windsuary
00:51:08that happened to
00:51:09affect their kingdom.
00:51:11Seeing his distress,
00:51:13Vanessa quickly
00:51:14moved closer,
00:51:15wrapping her arms
00:51:16around his
00:51:17to comfort him,
00:51:18teasingly.
00:51:20Exactly, Lord.
00:51:21Sister ran away
00:51:22in a tantrum
00:51:23and is probably
00:51:23hiding in some inn
00:51:25using that sickly brat
00:51:26to threaten you
00:51:27until you soften.
00:51:28How could she possibly
00:51:29have the power
00:51:30to lock the ascension
00:51:31platform?
00:51:33Ronan pressed
00:51:34his throbbing temples.
00:51:36A strange sensation
00:51:37of losing his kingdom's
00:51:38fortune made him
00:51:39increasingly restless.
00:51:41Pushing Vanessa away,
00:51:42he strode toward
00:51:43the Covenant Temple
00:51:44with a dark expression.
00:51:47However,
00:51:48the moment Ronan
00:51:49stepped into
00:51:49the Covenant Temple,
00:51:50the priest on duty
00:51:51collapsed to the floor
00:51:52in sheer terror,
00:51:53his face deathly pale.
00:51:54What are you panicking for?
00:51:56Bring out the Covenant
00:51:57Jade plaques
00:51:57for Seraphina
00:51:58and the infant.
00:51:59I want to see
00:51:59where they are hiding
00:52:00and laughing at me!
00:52:01My lord,
00:52:02spare my life!
00:52:03They cannot be brought out!
00:52:06Just three days ago,
00:52:07the primary mistress
00:52:08covenant mark
00:52:09under the Tree of Life
00:52:10was forcibly erased!
00:52:12What did you say?
00:52:15Forcibly erased?
00:52:16Not only is it gone,
00:52:17but the mother and daughter
00:52:18used an ancient secret ritual
00:52:20to completely delete
00:52:21all their holy names
00:52:22from the Elfin race.
00:52:23Half of the Tree of Life
00:52:24has withered.
00:52:25I used every tracking method
00:52:26available,
00:52:27but they are all
00:52:28untraceable.
00:52:29They have completely
00:52:30severed their bloodline
00:52:31and connection
00:52:32with the Wind Kingdom.
00:52:33Well played,
00:52:34Seraphina!
00:52:35To resort to such
00:52:36a self-harming,
00:52:37despicable trick
00:52:38as deleting your holy name!
00:52:40Do you think
00:52:41you can escape
00:52:42just by doing that?
00:52:43I want to see
00:52:43how many days
00:52:44you can last out there
00:52:46with your dying daughter
00:52:47without the protection
00:52:48of the Wind Kingdom!
00:52:51Watching her daughter
00:52:52sleep peacefully
00:52:53in the divine light
00:52:54of the sacred tree,
00:52:55Seraphina slowly stood up.
00:52:57The mole the tender
00:52:58she turned to
00:52:59vanished from her eyes,
00:53:00replaced by a
00:53:01bottomless coldness
00:53:02and resolve.
00:53:03Father,
00:53:04I was too foolish
00:53:04in the past
00:53:05to repay a trivial
00:53:06mortal deed.
00:53:07I degraded myself
00:53:09to cater to a blind,
00:53:10cold-blooded mortal.
00:53:11In return,
00:53:12they trampled
00:53:12all over me
00:53:13and nearly caused
00:53:14my daughter's death!
00:53:15She raised her hand,
00:53:17slicing through the air
00:53:17like a blade.
00:53:18As an invisible
00:53:20emotional barrier
00:53:21shattered,
00:53:21the painful memories
00:53:22of her humiliation,
00:53:24Ronan's neglect,
00:53:25and Vanessa's framing
00:53:26in the Wind Kingdom
00:53:27were sealed
00:53:28deep within her heart.
00:53:29From this day forward,
00:53:31the lowly,
00:53:31submissive consort
00:53:32of the Wind Kingdom
00:53:33no longer exists
00:53:34to ensure we are
00:53:35never trampled on again
00:53:36and to control
00:53:37my daughter's destiny.
00:53:38I willingly accept
00:53:39the royal bloodline baptism.
00:53:41Looking at his daughter,
00:53:42whose gaze had become
00:53:43as sharp as a hawk,
00:53:44the high-elval king
00:53:45felt a surge of relief
00:53:46and pride.
00:53:47He immediately gave
00:53:47his stern approval.
00:53:48Half an hour later,
00:53:49the gates to the sanctuary's
00:53:50core forbidden grounds
00:53:51swung open.
00:53:52This was the sacred
00:53:53training pool exclusive
00:53:53to the heirs of
00:53:54the supreme royal family.
00:53:55Filled with primeval
00:53:56Priadan magic
00:53:57accumulated over
00:53:5710,000 years,
00:53:59and to an ordinary
00:53:59high elf would explode
00:54:00and die from touching
00:54:01even a single drop,
00:54:02and to enduring
00:54:03the agonizing pain
00:54:04of a complete
00:54:04bone-shatterned
00:54:05transcend.
00:54:05Without any hesitation,
00:54:07under the avarstek gaze
00:54:08of 10,000
00:54:09pure-blooded
00:54:10elven guards,
00:54:11Seraphina stepped
00:54:12relutely into the
00:54:12terrifying surging
00:54:13sacred pool
00:54:14clad in a simple
00:54:15white robe.
00:54:16Boom!
00:54:16The moment her body
00:54:17was completely submerged,
00:54:19the ancient magic
00:54:19erupted,
00:54:20unleashing towering
00:54:21golden waves.
00:54:22The violent
00:54:22propezzanard energy
00:54:23slashed through her
00:54:23merpicrians and bones
00:54:24like countless blades.
00:54:25Yet, she did not
00:54:26even flinch.
00:54:27The nine sore seals
00:54:28she had petitioned herself
00:54:29to repay her debt to Ronion
00:54:30began to shatter and unravel,
00:54:31completely awakening
00:54:32her de-dormant power
00:54:33under the furious onslaught.
00:54:35Smash!
00:54:36Ronion shattered
00:54:37his communication array
00:54:38for the 12th time.
00:54:39Every time he tried
00:54:41to connect with Seraphina
00:54:42through a soul transmission,
00:54:43he was met with nothing
00:54:44but a cold, empty echo
00:54:45and the piercing pain
00:54:47of magical backlash.
00:54:48His frustration
00:54:49reached its peep
00:54:50as a suffocating panic
00:54:51of losing control
00:54:52gripped his throat.
00:54:53Just then,
00:54:54the hall doors
00:54:55pushed open
00:54:56and Vanessa walked in
00:54:57smiling,
00:54:58holding three-year-old
00:54:59Jasper by the hand.
00:55:00Roman, look!
00:55:02After taking the
00:55:03sacred tree extract today,
00:55:05Jasper can already
00:55:06control two
00:55:06high-tier wind blades!
00:55:09He truly is
00:55:11your eldest son.
00:55:12Ronion turned
00:55:13his irritated gaze
00:55:14onto Jasper
00:55:15who was shouting
00:55:15and playing with a toy.
00:55:17But as he looked,
00:55:18his breath caught.
00:55:19Whether it was due
00:55:20to the sudden loss
00:55:21of his kingdom's fortune,
00:55:22looking at Jasper's
00:55:23arrogant and brash face
00:55:25felt unprecedentedly discordal.
00:55:26The child's features
00:55:27lacked even a trace
00:55:28of the Wind Kingdom royal family's elegance,
00:55:30showing instead
00:55:31a crude vulgarity.
00:55:32What terrified him most
00:55:34was that the wind-attributed magic
00:55:35to radiating from Jasper
00:55:36was crose and wild,
00:55:38sharing absolutely
00:55:39no bloodline resonance,
00:55:40with the pure,
00:55:41biting royal bloodline
00:55:42in his own body.
00:55:43When Vanessa gave birth
00:55:45to the child outside years ago,
00:55:47crying that she had been
00:55:48hunted by enemies
00:55:49and forced to wander,
00:55:51Ronion pitied her
00:55:52and never questioned
00:55:53the bloodline.
00:55:54But now...
00:55:58Ronion,
00:55:59why are you looking
00:56:00at Jasper like that?
00:56:03Did he do something wrong?
00:56:04Rokon stared dead
00:56:05at the flash of panic
00:56:06in Vanessa's eyes.
00:56:07His hands clenched tightly
00:56:08beneath his robes
00:56:09as something shattered
00:56:10within his heart.
00:56:11Taking a deep breath
00:56:12to suppress his immense suspicion,
00:56:13he put on a cold disguise.
00:56:15It is nothing.
00:56:16I am simply tired.
00:56:18You may leave.
00:56:19The moment the doors closed,
00:56:21Ronion's eyes turned
00:56:22incredibly sinister.
00:56:23He looked toward the empty air
00:56:25and gave a ruthless command.
00:56:26Someone,
00:56:27bring out the royal family's
00:56:28most secretive bloodline
00:56:29apreciation, Arapis.
00:56:30Remember,
00:56:31prepare it in secret.
00:56:33Find an opportunity
00:56:34to gather Jasper's hair
00:56:35and finger blood later.
00:56:37Vanessa must not know
00:56:38a single thing about this.
00:56:39If I find
00:56:40that his bloodline
00:56:41does not match,
00:56:42I will ensure them
00:56:43die without a burial place!
00:56:47Meanwhile,
00:56:48in the sanctuary,
00:56:48around the
00:56:49forbidden sacred pool grounds,
00:56:5010,000 pureblood
00:56:51high elven generals,
00:56:52high priests
00:56:53and gradually cards
00:56:54of the divine king
00:56:54knelt across the mountains.
00:56:56Everyone held their breath,
00:56:57looking up at the
00:56:57gradually calming
00:56:58sacred pool in awe.
00:56:59Suddenly,
00:57:00faint golden ripple
00:57:01carrying supreme azority
00:57:02spread from the center
00:57:03of the pool.
00:57:03A graceful noble figure
00:57:05slowly rose from
00:57:06the center of the water.
00:57:07Seraphina's postpartum weakness
00:57:08and plast were entirely gone.
00:57:10Her skin shone like
00:57:11flawless white jade,
00:57:12flowing with a sacred light,
00:57:13and her once withered long hair
00:57:15had turned into a dazzling
00:57:16golden color,
00:57:17skating down to her ankles.
00:57:18Under the baptism
00:57:19of the ancient
00:57:20presided energy,
00:57:21her appearance and magic
00:57:22were completely restored,
00:57:24far surpassing her past peak.
00:57:25The moment her feet
00:57:26left the water
00:57:27and she hovered in midair,
00:57:28the space behind her
00:57:29tore violently.
00:57:31Boom!
00:57:31Accompanied by a divine
00:57:32phoenix cry
00:57:33that echoed through the heavens,
00:57:34a pair of dazzling
00:57:35supreme natural wings
00:57:36radiating boundless life
00:57:37and destruction
00:57:38unfurled behind her back.
00:57:39The divine wings
00:57:40were massive,
00:57:41each feather condundated
00:57:42from the purest
00:57:42golden light
00:57:43of natural law.
00:57:44With a slight flutter,
00:57:45a terrifying pressure
00:57:46swept past
00:57:47like a tsunami.
00:57:47Unable to withstand
00:57:48the bloodline pressure
00:57:49from the depths
00:57:50of their souls,
00:57:51the ten thousand
00:57:52pure-blooded elves
00:57:53slammed their foreheads
00:57:54against the ground
00:57:55as the sacred roof
00:57:56and echoed in harmony.
00:57:58We welcome
00:57:58Her Majesty's
00:57:59ascension to the throne!
00:58:07Standing amid the golden light,
00:58:09Seraphana looked down
00:58:10at her subjects.
00:58:11She raised her hand slightly,
00:58:12feeling the terrifying magic
00:58:13capable of destroying
00:58:14heaven and earth,
00:58:15a cool,
00:58:15cold smile
00:58:16playing on her lips.
00:58:17The submissive,
00:58:18lowly consort
00:58:18who had once begged
00:58:19for a flask of pure spring water
00:58:20for her daughter
00:58:21in the Withern Tower
00:58:21had completely died
00:58:23in this sacred pool today.
00:58:24The one who lived now
00:58:25was the Supreme Empress,
00:58:26who held the power
00:58:28over life and death
00:58:29for the entire
00:58:30elven sanctuary.
00:58:31She turned her gaze
00:58:32towards the direction
00:58:33of the Wind Kingdom,
00:58:35her murderous intent
00:58:36radiating palpably.
00:58:39Since Seraphina's departure,
00:58:41Vanessa carried herself
00:58:42completely as the new
00:58:43mistress of the Wind Kingdom.
00:58:44Without the restraint
00:58:45of the legitimate
00:58:46primary mistress,
00:58:47she tore off
00:58:48her past gentle disguise.
00:58:49The first thing she did
00:58:50upon moving
00:58:50is replace all the decorations
00:58:52with the most luxurious
00:58:53gold silks.
00:58:54She lived extravagantly
00:58:55and wastefully,
00:58:56bathing in the
00:58:56rarest floral dew daily
00:58:58and even forcibly
00:58:59withalding nearly half
00:59:00of the lower tier
00:59:01elf's winter ravens
00:59:02just to fashion
00:59:03a sweeping dress
00:59:03embedded with deep sea
00:59:04magic krills.
00:59:05Furthermore,
00:59:06Vanessa was arrogant
00:59:07and harsh to the point
00:59:08of cruelty
00:59:08toward the servants
00:59:09and lower class
00:59:09elves of the kingdom.
00:59:11Mistress,
00:59:12this is the silver needle
00:59:12tea you requested.
00:59:14The temperature
00:59:14is just right.
00:59:15It's...
00:59:15I'm scolding you,
00:59:16useless wretch!
00:59:17Are you trying to ruin
00:59:18my face on purpose?
00:59:20Someone,
00:59:20strip her of her elfin badge
00:59:21and banish her entire family
00:59:23to hard labor
00:59:23at the Wither Tower!
00:59:25Panic gripped
00:59:26the main manor
00:59:27and the lower tier elves
00:59:28filled the air with grievances.
00:59:29Sitting in his study,
00:59:30Ronan listened to the
00:59:31constant shouting,
00:59:32face slapping and crying
00:59:33from outside,
00:59:34his temples throbbing.
00:59:35Looking at the ledger
00:59:36submitted by the
00:59:36Council of Elders,
00:59:38which detailed
00:59:38Vanessa's waste of
00:59:39tens of thousands
00:59:40of magic crystals
00:59:40over the past few days,
00:59:42his face turned grim.
00:59:43In the past,
00:59:43when Serafina managed
00:59:44the household,
00:59:45the entire Wind Kingdom
00:59:46was orderly.
00:59:47She was always gentle,
00:59:48understanding and proper,
00:59:49choosing to live frugally
00:59:50rather than misappropriate
00:59:51a single penny from the kingdom,
00:59:53even using her own source
00:59:54Morna to nourish injured
00:59:55low-tier soldiers.
00:59:56Ronan instinctively touched
00:59:57the empty space
00:59:58beside his throne,
00:59:59an unprecedented emptiness
01:00:00and regret washing over him
01:00:02like a tidal wave.
01:00:03He began to desperately miss
01:00:04the woman who had always
01:00:05quietly waited for him.
01:00:07But now,
01:00:08no matter how much he searched
01:00:09the Wind Kingdom's territory,
01:00:11he could no longer find
01:00:11a single trace of Serafina.
01:00:15Yet, Ronan had no idea
01:00:16that while he was drowning
01:00:17in endless regret and agony,
01:00:18a dim storal lamp was burning
01:00:20in the most secluded
01:00:20subterranean chamber
01:00:21of the main manor.
01:00:22Dressed in her luxurious gown,
01:00:24Vanessa showed none
01:00:24of her usual arrogance,
01:00:26slumping limply
01:00:26into the embrace
01:00:27of her old lover Oswin,
01:00:28the chief captain of the guards.
01:00:30Oswin's rough,
01:00:30calloused hands
01:00:31gripped her slender waist tightly
01:00:32as their breaths mingled
01:00:33in a display of immacity
01:00:34and wanton behavior.
01:00:36That suspicious Rhett Ronan
01:00:37stared at Jasper
01:00:38for a long time today.
01:00:39Could he have discovered something?
01:00:42My darling,
01:00:43with me here,
01:00:43what are you afraid of?
01:00:45Even if his suspicions
01:00:46lead him to test the bloodline,
01:00:48he will never find a problem.
01:00:49Don't forget,
01:00:50when he sent me
01:00:50to draw our son's blood,
01:00:52I swapped it with my own.
01:00:53That broken appraisal
01:00:54Askel of his
01:00:55will only show
01:00:56an absolute blood relative.
01:00:57Oswin pulled Vanessa closer,
01:00:59tilting her chin up proudly.
01:01:01If Ronan hadn't been
01:01:02heavily injured
01:01:03and unconscious
01:01:03during the war
01:01:04three years ago,
01:01:05allowing you to slip
01:01:06into my bed
01:01:07amid the chaos,
01:01:08how else would he have
01:01:10become this cheap father
01:01:11and felt guilty enough
01:01:13to search for you
01:01:13for three whole years?
01:01:15Vanessa's beautiful eyes
01:01:16flashed with a venomous light
01:01:17as she laughed
01:01:18and pinched the man
01:01:19who told Ronan
01:01:20to pride himself
01:01:21on being deeply affectionate
01:01:22when he is actually
01:01:23a fool who is easily deceived.
01:01:25For three years,
01:01:26he trampled Seraphina,
01:01:27the legitimate mistress,
01:01:28into the dirt
01:01:29for the sake of Jasper and mine.
01:01:30Little does he know,
01:01:31the heir he personally cherishes
01:01:33is actually your child!
01:01:35A wild and greedy ambition
01:01:36as his flashed,
01:01:37his voice turned low
01:01:38and vicious.
01:01:39Ronan is completely distracted
01:01:41every day
01:01:41because of Seraph's disappears
01:01:42and the kingdom's fortune
01:01:43has mostly vanished
01:01:44for some reason.
01:01:45The Ascension passage
01:01:45is even closed.
01:01:47In just a few more days,
01:01:48we will deliver
01:01:49the fatal blow.
01:01:52The inner frustration
01:01:53and the mysterious loss
01:01:54of his kingdom's fortune
01:01:55drove him near madness.
01:01:57His mind troubled,
01:01:58he walked aimlessly
01:01:59through the streets
01:01:59of the main city
01:02:00and inadvertently stopped
01:02:02in front of the infirmary.
01:02:03Looking at the somewhat
01:02:04dilapidated doors,
01:02:05the image of Seraphina
01:02:06weeping in absolute despair here
01:02:08suddenly flashed
01:02:09through his mind.
01:02:10I must be losing my mind
01:02:11to have walked
01:02:12all the way here.
01:02:12Just as he turned to leave,
01:02:14a stealthy figure
01:02:14carrying a bundle
01:02:15prepared to flee
01:02:16from inside the infirmary.
01:02:17It was the doctor
01:02:18from before.
01:02:18Ever since Seraphina
01:02:19ummedster raised
01:02:20her holy name
01:02:20and left,
01:02:21causing half of the tree
01:02:21of life to wither,
01:02:22this doctor had been
01:02:23tormented night and day
01:02:24by guilt and fear,
01:02:25finally breaking down
01:02:26and preparing to escape overnight.
01:02:27Ronan's eyes turned sharp.
01:02:29Moving like lightning,
01:02:30he materialized
01:02:30before the doctor,
01:02:31blocking his path.
01:02:32Where do you think
01:02:33you are running?
01:02:35What are you panicking
01:02:36for upon seeing me?
01:02:37Looking at Ronan's
01:02:38rage-distorted face
01:02:39and thinking of the rampant
01:02:40rumors about the primary
01:02:41mistress' disappearance
01:02:41and the sacred trees withering,
01:02:43the doctor's psychological defense
01:02:44collapsed completely.
01:02:45With even needing to
01:02:45use a soul-searching technique,
01:02:47he fell to his knees
01:02:47in terror,
01:02:48now coating frantically
01:02:49as tears and muses
01:02:49strem down his face.
01:02:50Lord, spare my life!
01:02:52I deserve to die!
01:02:53I dare not hide it any longer!
01:02:54The primary mistress did not lie!
01:02:56She was not throwing a tamper
01:02:57fighting for effect!
01:02:57Ronan's heart skipped a beat,
01:02:59a profound sense of foreboding
01:03:01enveloping his entire body.
01:03:02Make yourself clear!
01:03:04What do you mean
01:03:05she didn't lie?
01:03:05It was your daughter!
01:03:07Your daughter Iris
01:03:08didn't catch an ordinary
01:03:09chill at all!
01:03:10She was poisoned
01:03:11with the highly insidious
01:03:12soul-eating grass
01:03:13and her core had already
01:03:14begun to wither!
01:03:15Boom!
01:03:15The doctor's words
01:03:16exploded in Ronan's ears
01:03:17like a thunder mist
01:03:17leaving his pail
01:03:18and make him sway
01:03:19on his feet.
01:03:20Ronan grabbed the terrified
01:03:21fleeing doctor by the collar,
01:03:23his eyes bloodshot
01:03:25like a cornered beast.
01:03:26Impossible!
01:03:27I checked her myself that day!
01:03:29Her breathing was steady
01:03:30and her temperature was normal!
01:03:32Even you personally
01:03:33diagnosed it
01:03:33as a common chill!
01:03:35How davricate
01:03:36a poisoning story
01:03:37to me now!
01:03:39It was all fake!
01:03:41Madame Vanessa
01:03:42forced me to do it!
01:03:44It was her!
01:03:45She fed the little princess
01:03:46a forbidden illusion potion
01:03:48before you arrived!
01:03:49Forcibly creating
01:03:50a false appearance
01:03:52of health!
01:03:53The doctor's words
01:03:54cut like knives,
01:03:56tearing Ronan's
01:03:57self-rightless
01:03:58arrogance to pieces.
01:04:00Madame Vanessa
01:04:01bribed me
01:04:01and threatened
01:04:02my family's lives
01:04:03to maintain the illusion
01:04:04all to make you believe
01:04:05the primary mistress
01:04:06was just throwing
01:04:06a jealous fit
01:04:07so you would ignore
01:04:08the mother and daughter
01:04:09leaving the little princess
01:04:10to die from the poison!
01:04:12And...
01:04:13And that flask
01:04:14of sacred tree extract.
01:04:15Hearing the word
01:04:15sacred tree extract
01:04:17Ronan's body
01:04:17shook violently
01:04:18his face
01:04:19draining of all color.
01:04:21That spiritual medicine
01:04:22was given to the primary mistress
01:04:23out of my sudden
01:04:23flash of consciousness.
01:04:25It was not only
01:04:25an antidote to all poisons
01:04:26but the sole hope
01:04:27to save the little princess's life!
01:04:29Yet you...
01:04:29You detested
01:04:30the primary mistress
01:04:31and forcibly snatched
01:04:32that medicine away
01:04:33to secure the position
01:04:34of the perfectly healthy Jasper!
01:04:36Roman felt as if
01:04:38he'd been struck by lightning,
01:04:39all strength
01:04:40instantly draining
01:04:41from his body.
01:04:42Boundless darkness
01:04:43and immense regret
01:04:44swallowed him
01:04:44like a tsunami.
01:04:45He finally realized
01:04:46that Serafina
01:04:47had been telling
01:04:48the truth all along.
01:04:49It was him,
01:04:50he,
01:04:51the father,
01:04:51blinded by favoritism
01:04:53and interest,
01:04:54who had personally
01:04:55snatched away
01:04:56his daughter's
01:04:56life-saving straw,
01:04:58pushing his newborn
01:04:59child into the abyss
01:05:01of death.
01:05:02A spray of crimson blood
01:05:03erupted from Ronan's mouth
01:05:05as he collapsed
01:05:06onto his knees
01:05:07on the freezing stone pavement,
01:05:09clutching his
01:05:09agonizingly painful chest,
01:05:11letting out
01:05:12a desperate,
01:05:13piercing streel.
01:05:16Serafina,
01:05:17Iris!
01:05:18What have I done?
01:05:20What on earth
01:05:20have I done?!
01:05:21Immense regret
01:05:22drove Ronan completely mad.
01:05:24Disregarding the blood
01:05:25on his lips,
01:05:25he scrammed back to his feet
01:05:26and ran back to the main hall
01:05:28like a madman.
01:05:29At this moment,
01:05:30he no longer cared
01:05:31about supreme cooperation
01:05:33or reaching the peak.
01:05:34He only wanted to find his wife
01:05:36and save his daughter's life.
01:05:38Search!
01:05:39Mobilize all forces
01:05:41of the Wind Kingdom!
01:05:42Search every inch of land!
01:05:43And even if you have to
01:05:44hunt through the Forbidden Forest,
01:05:46bring back the primary mistress
01:05:47and the princess!
01:05:48Go now!
01:05:53However,
01:05:54one day passed,
01:05:55then two days,
01:05:56and for three whole days
01:05:58and nights,
01:05:58the elite high elves
01:06:00brought back nothing
01:06:00but the desperate news
01:06:01of no trace found.
01:06:03Serafina seemed to have
01:06:04dissolved into the wind,
01:06:05vanishing completely
01:06:06without a trace.
01:06:08Failing to find his wife,
01:06:09Ronan's grief
01:06:10and self-blame
01:06:11gradually transformed
01:06:12into a towering
01:06:12Merlis in test,
01:06:13he finally thought
01:06:14of the instigator,
01:06:16Vanessa.
01:06:16Vanessa!
01:06:17You vicious wretch!
01:06:19I will tear you
01:06:20into ten thousand pieces!
01:06:21Gripping the great sword
01:06:23of the Wind God
01:06:23that symbolized
01:06:24his kingdom's power,
01:06:25he strode toward
01:06:26Vanessa's bedchamber,
01:06:28brimming with murderous intent.
01:06:29He wanted to settle
01:06:30the score
01:06:31with that evil woman
01:06:32and use the blood
01:06:33of Vanessa and her son
01:06:34to atone for his actions
01:06:35against his wife
01:06:36and daughter.
01:06:37However,
01:06:38when he reached
01:06:39the chamber,
01:06:39he found it
01:06:40completely empty.
01:06:42Unleashing his divine sense,
01:06:44he followed a faint
01:06:45trace of magic
01:06:45straight into the
01:06:47desolate forest
01:06:48behind the temple.
01:06:49The moon was dark
01:06:50and the wind howled
01:06:51through the silence
01:06:51of the desolate forest
01:06:52behind the temple.
01:06:53Ronan concealed
01:06:54his presence,
01:06:55moving step by step
01:06:56into the shadow
01:06:56of the ancient trees
01:06:57with his great sword.
01:06:58But before he could
01:06:59see clearly,
01:06:59faint whispers
01:07:00and strugglings
01:07:01came from the thicket
01:07:01falling clearly
01:07:02into his ears.
01:07:03Slow down!
01:07:03If that fool Ronan
01:07:04finds out,
01:07:05we are dead!
01:07:06What are you afraid of?
01:07:07He is completely
01:07:08distracted every day
01:07:09because of that wretch
01:07:10running around the world
01:07:10like a madman.
01:07:11How could he have time
01:07:12for us?
01:07:12I've already coordinated
01:07:13with Governor Gamma
01:07:14while he will strip
01:07:15the treasury
01:07:15of all magic crystals
01:07:16and public funds
01:07:17tonight and run!
01:07:18Boom!
01:07:18Ronan's mind
01:07:19went completely blank.
01:07:20He knew these voices
01:07:20all too well.
01:07:21One belonged to his
01:07:22chief captain of the guards,
01:07:23Oswin,
01:07:23and the other belonged
01:07:24to Vanessa White Moonlight
01:07:24first love he had cherished
01:07:25for three years.
01:07:26Ronan trembled violently,
01:07:27staring dead at the
01:07:28disheveled man and woman
01:07:29entwiled behind the tree.
01:07:30Speaking of which,
01:07:31Ronan really is an absolute fool.
01:07:33For the past three days
01:07:34he has been holding that
01:07:35fake bloodline report,
01:07:36comforting himself
01:07:36that Jasper is his child,
01:07:38completely unaware
01:07:38that the heir he raised
01:07:39with the kingdom's
01:07:40sacred medicine
01:07:41is actually your
01:07:41biological flesh and blood!
01:07:44The truth slapped Ronan
01:07:45across the face,
01:07:46shattering his remaining
01:07:47self-respect and pride.
01:07:48It turned out he was
01:07:49not only the murderer
01:07:49who had personally pushed
01:07:50his biological daughter
01:07:51to her death,
01:07:52but also the world's
01:07:52biggest fool who had
01:07:53raised a bastard child
01:07:54for a pair of adulterers
01:07:55for three years
01:07:55the kingdom was being
01:07:56eustarted.
01:07:59Insolent fools!
01:08:00You will pay for this!
01:08:03Unleashing and debunked
01:08:04the soul of Ronan
01:08:04that erupted
01:08:05the great sword
01:08:05dream of rock
01:08:06with unleashingly
01:08:06sent to the teals
01:08:07and the sentry
01:08:07green people flying.
01:08:08Osgain and Vanessa
01:08:09screamed as they
01:08:10hit the ground
01:08:10when Vanessa saw Ronan
01:08:12who stood there
01:08:13with overwhelming ferocity.
01:08:14She lost her wits
01:08:15in terror.
01:08:16Ronan!
01:08:17Listen to me explain!
01:08:18It's not what it looks like!
01:08:19Shut up,
01:08:20you vicious horn!
01:08:21I will kill you!
01:08:23Osgain and Ronan
01:08:23have exhausted
01:08:24and bite-gained
01:08:24realized Zord off-course
01:08:25due to a lax limit
01:08:26at the magic.
01:08:27Though this strike his teeth,
01:08:28he pulled Vanessa up
01:08:29and pringzled
01:08:30several poisonous smoke bombs.
01:08:31With a loud explosion,
01:08:32a toxic mist filled the area.
01:08:34By the time the storm
01:08:35blew the mist away,
01:08:35the disheveled couple
01:08:36had all flooded the wind forest
01:08:37using their familiarity
01:08:38with the de-ground.
01:08:39As the cold wind blew,
01:08:40he looked around
01:08:41at the empty surroundings,
01:08:42appearing as though
01:08:43he had aged a hundred years.
01:08:44Ronan fell to his knees,
01:08:46his fingers digging
01:08:47into the dirt
01:08:49as he wept desperately
01:08:51like a beaten dog
01:08:52in the dead of night.
01:08:55Meanwhile,
01:08:55inside the flawless,
01:08:57radiant temple of life
01:08:57in the supreme sanctuary,
01:08:59Iris had completely recovered.
01:09:01She was now dressed
01:09:01in garments woven
01:09:02from the rarest golden silk
01:09:04and sitting in a cradle
01:09:05carved from 10,000-year-old
01:09:06Moonwa jiggling
01:09:07and blowing bubbles.
01:09:08The supreme divine mark
01:09:09on her forehead
01:09:09flowed with brilliant colors,
01:09:11exuding an incredibly
01:09:12noble bloodline.
01:09:13Standing beside the cradle,
01:09:15Serafina gently played
01:09:16with her daughter,
01:09:17her eyes filled only
01:09:18with maternal love.
01:09:19As for the past
01:09:20humiliations and affection,
01:09:21the high elfin king
01:09:22slowly walked over
01:09:23to his daughter.
01:09:24Looking at his reborn
01:09:25granddaughter with affection,
01:09:26he then turned
01:09:27a serious gaze
01:09:27toward Serafina.
01:09:28My daughter,
01:09:29I have already ordered
01:09:30a complete block out
01:09:31against all past complications
01:09:33with the Wind Kingdom.
01:09:35Now that your bloodline
01:09:36has fully awakened
01:09:37and the supreme natural wings
01:09:39have grown behind your back,
01:09:40it is time for you
01:09:41to assume your rightful
01:09:42responsibilities.
01:09:44Serafina withdrawed her hand
01:09:45and turned to face her father,
01:09:46her gaze calm
01:09:47and instaurative,
01:09:48completely deblined
01:09:48of mortal weakness.
01:09:49Father, I understand.
01:09:51Romantic attachments
01:09:52are nothing but
01:09:53a self-inflicted trap.
01:09:54Only supreme power
01:09:55can allow me to control
01:09:56my destiny
01:09:57and protect my iris
01:09:59for a lifetime of peace.
01:10:00The father laughed
01:10:01with relief
01:10:02and immediately announced,
01:10:03Good!
01:10:04I have already issued
01:10:05a decree to all kingdoms
01:10:06that the sanctuary ceremony
01:10:07will begin shortly.
01:10:08You will officially
01:10:09inherit the throne
01:10:10and become the first
01:10:11high elfin queen
01:10:12of our supreme sanctuary
01:10:13in 10,000 years.
01:10:15Meanwhile,
01:10:16the Wind Kingdom,
01:10:17far at the edge
01:10:18of the continent,
01:10:18had fallen into
01:10:19a perilous situation.
01:10:20Due to Vanessa
01:10:20and Oswin's betrayal
01:10:21and thiefed of the funds,
01:10:23a fierce internal conflict
01:10:24erupted within the kingdom.
01:10:25Worse still,
01:10:26because Seraphina
01:10:27had erased her holy name
01:10:28and severed the tree
01:10:28of life withered,
01:10:29causing the kingdom's
01:10:30overall magic
01:10:31to rapidly decline
01:10:31and their barrier to sh-
01:10:32Romans sat on his
01:10:33broken throne,
01:10:35emaciated and covered
01:10:36in stubble,
01:10:36showing none of his
01:10:37past glory as a lord.
01:10:39Just then,
01:10:39an old servant
01:10:40tremblingly presented
01:10:41a gathering order
01:10:42from the supreme sanctuary.
01:10:44My lord,
01:10:45a divine oracle
01:10:46has arrived
01:10:47from the supreme sanctuary.
01:10:48The new supreme empress
01:10:49is about to ascend
01:10:50the throne
01:10:51and the coronation ceremony
01:10:52requires all kingdoms
01:10:53to pay homage.
01:10:54Does our kingdom
01:10:55attend?
01:10:56A final ember
01:10:57of fanatical hope
01:10:58erupted in Ronan's eyes.
01:11:01He had no heart
01:11:02to manage the kingdom's
01:11:03mundane affairs
01:11:04because he knew
01:11:05time was running out
01:11:06for the wind kingdom.
01:11:08Their only salvation
01:11:09lay in aligning
01:11:10with the supreme sanctuary.
01:11:11Go!
01:11:12Prepare the highest
01:11:13specification of gifts
01:11:15and the entire kingdom
01:11:16will accompany me
01:11:17to the sanctuary
01:11:18to pay homage.
01:11:19Tupian-1 gripped
01:11:20the order tightly
01:11:21as if catching
01:11:21a final saving straw.
01:11:22I have heard

01:11:46Before the sanctuary
01:11:47coronation ceremony
01:11:48the Fingling
01:11:49walked to the
01:11:49rest in the

01:11:50second shant
01:11:51edge of

01:11:59something
01:11:59canate
01:12:00was awakening
01:12:00within that
01:12:00divine light.
01:12:01Images of
01:12:02Seraphina
01:12:02began to
01:12:03flash
01:12:03uncontrollably
01:12:04through his
01:12:04mind.
01:12:05Her shyness

01:12:16Aloina
01:12:17walked up
01:12:17behind him
01:12:18wearing a
01:12:18cloak.
01:12:19Looking at
01:12:20her distracted

01:15:01The

01:15:01of
01:15:01the
01:15:02various
01:15:02kingdoms
01:15:02expressed
01:15:03their
01:15:03disdain
01:15:04and spit
01:15:05in
01:15:05disapproval.
01:15:06Clutching
01:15:06his swollen
01:15:07face,
01:15:08self-respect
01:15:09was publicly
01:15:10trampled
01:15:10before all
01:15:11kingdoms.
01:15:12His
01:15:12reputation
01:15:12was
01:15:13completely
01:15:13destroyed.
01:15:23Ronin,
01:15:24once a
01:15:24proud
01:15:24general,
01:15:25now knelt
01:15:26in the
01:15:26dust.
01:15:26His
01:15:26pleas
01:15:27echoed,
01:15:27empty
01:15:28and
01:15:28desperate.
01:15:28Seeing
01:15:29an
01:15:29opportunity,
01:15:29Alita
01:15:30cast
01:15:30aside
01:15:30all
01:15:30dignity
01:15:31and
01:15:31began
01:15:31cobicating
01:15:32frantically.
01:15:36Looking
01:15:38at the
01:15:39mother and
01:15:39icon who
01:15:40were still
01:15:40calculating
01:15:41for benefits
01:15:42even now,
01:15:42the mockery
01:15:43on
01:15:43Seraphina's
01:15:44boobs
01:15:44deepened
01:15:44to the
01:15:45extreme.
01:15:45Save
01:15:46you?
01:15:46The
01:15:46wind
01:15:46kingdom
01:15:47only
01:15:47enjoyed
01:15:47its
01:15:47past
01:15:48glory
01:15:48because

01:15:51granted
01:15:51you.
01:15:52She
01:15:52slowly
01:15:52raised
01:15:52her
01:15:53hand,
01:15:53curving
01:15:53her
01:15:53fingers
01:15:54and made
01:15:54a
01:15:54grasping
01:15:54motion
01:15:55toward
01:15:55Ronan
01:15:55and
01:15:55Alashian
01:15:56from
01:15:56afar.
01:16:13It was a
01:16:14stripping
01:16:14process
01:16:14more painful
01:16:15than death.
01:16:15Within
01:16:16moments,
01:16:16Ronan's
01:16:16cultivation
01:16:17plummeted
01:16:17from a
01:16:17high-tea
01:16:18lord to
