Short filmTranscript
00:00and screamed as she threw herself into the pond behind her.
00:04Imogen!
00:08Edmund pulled her up immediately.
00:11Imogen curled up in his arms, trembling.
00:15I only wanted to pray for God's wedding blessing for Isabella, but she...
00:22Isabella!
00:23Spread your legs wider!
00:25The guests are waiting!
00:27Isabella, wake up!
00:30You're not that blessed holy mistress anymore.
00:32Now you're nothing but a slutty dog.
00:34Keep practicing, or I'll strip you naked and throw you out.
00:37Older daughter of Earl Ashwood, blessed by God to bring good luck to my partner.
00:41By the Pope's order, the day my adopted sister Imogen and I turned 18,
00:45we had to draw straws to let God choose our husbands.
00:48I was chosen to marry Edmund, a young rookie knight.
00:51Imogen was going to marry Sebastian Black, the cursed, brutal black duke.
00:55Imogen begged me to swap with her, but I refused to disobey God's will.
00:59Then, she jumped into a lake and ended her own life.
01:02Edmund never said anything about it.
01:04He was incredibly gentle with me, brushing my hair every single day and taking me on walks.
01:09But the very day he became the knight commander, he turned into a monster.
01:13He framed my family as heretics.
01:1427 lives, all being burned to ashes, leaving me in total despair.
01:18A sharp pain snapped me back to reality.
01:20The whip tore right through the skin on my shoulder.
01:23I made up my mind, snatched the dagger from the guard's waist and slunged it straight into my own heart.
01:28I died filled with pure hatred and regret.
01:33When I opened my eyes again,
01:35I found myself back three days before the wedding,
01:38the exact day we were going to draw straws to decide our fates.
01:41The meeting hall was packed.
01:44My father sat in his velvet chair,
01:47with a wooden box holding two copper coins right in front of him.
01:51Edmund stood to the side, staring at me, looking nervous.
01:55The life-changing moment was the same in my past life.
01:59Sebastian Black, the black duke, was cursed and totally brutal.
02:05Everyone said he wouldn't even survive this winter,
02:07and whoever married him would only suffer.
02:09I looked past those two coins of fate and looked at Edmund.
02:12He seemed to be mouthing the words to me.
02:13Imogen is too lonely by herself.
02:15You all owe her, and you should all go keep her company.
02:18Isabella! Isabella!
02:21My father's voice suddenly snapped me out of my thoughts.
02:23I looked up fast, took a step forward and said in a firm, steady voice,
02:27No need to draw.
02:28I will be the black duke's bride.
02:31The second I finished talking, Edmund snapped his head up,
02:34his amber eyes suddenly lighting up with joy.
02:37He almost threw himself in front of my father.
02:39In that case, Count Ashwood, I am more than willing to marry Lady Imogen.
02:44His voice was full of desperation and rush, making the shunnel crowd shock.
02:48But in my past life, Edmund did not act like this at all.
02:51Back then, before the results were even out, he thought I was chosen for the duke.
02:54He dropped to his knees, begging me not to leave him.
02:56He swore to protect me with his life.
02:59My father was moved by him, and he used our family's reputation to help Edmund become the knight commander.
03:04I narrowed my eyes, looking at Edmund, who was so desperate to marry Imogen now.
03:08His reaction was totally off.
03:11Unless he remembers the past life too.
03:14My father slammed his hand on the table, knocking out his silver wine cup.
03:17When you begged me to adopt you, you promised to marry Isabella!
03:20The Pope needed a girl from the Ashwood family to calm down the cursed wrath of Duke Black.
03:24To save me from going, my father adopted Edmund, an orphan back then, training him to be a gentleman and
03:30helping him join the knights.
03:31But in the past life, Edmund threw my father into a dungeon, nailed his ten fingers to the wall with
03:36iron, and burned him to death.
03:38He used that brutal cruelty to get revenge because my father stopped him from being with Imogen.
03:43The thing about my father's horrific end in the past life, I walked up, held his chain down, and gently
03:48shook my head.
03:49Edmund was already a member of the knights, given a holy sword by the Pope himself.
03:53We couldn't cross him just yet.
03:57Count Ashwood, I'm not that pathetic little loser anymore.
04:00Some promises shouldn't be taken seriously.
04:03I looked at him, trying my best to stay calm.
04:05Edmund, don't worry, I will marry the Black Duke.
04:08Edmund froze for a second, but his eyes quickly turned and scary.
04:11Isabella, you better really mean that.
04:13He walked right up to me and whispered.
04:16Otherwise, I'll show you that the fire from our past life can easily burn again.
04:21I just nodded.
04:23Edmund frowned, surprised that I didn't react.
04:25He nut, grabbed Imogen's hand, and stormed out of the hall.
04:29I took a deep breath and forced my anger down.
04:31I am the blessed holy Maddiston.
04:33I can bring good luck to my partner and even break the curse.
04:36This is exactly why I dare to marry Duke Black.
04:39And Edmund was stupid enough to think I'm the same naive girl who loved him in the past life.
04:44Just three days later, I will be the Duchess.
04:47And I will make him pay back every single bit of pain I suffered in my past life!
04:51Two days before the wedding, Duke Black sent someone to bring me a diamond ring.
04:56Lady Isabella, the Duke is deeply grateful that you are willing to be his bride.
05:00He promised he would give you a perfect wedding.
05:01After saying thank you, I carefully tucked the ring away and walked alone to St. Mary's convent.
05:08The old nun handed me a sapphire necklace and drew a cross on my forehead.
05:13God bless you, my poor Isabella.
05:16Your mother held this necklace and knelt before the Holy Mother, praying for three days, just for you to have
05:23a happy marriage.
05:23I gripped the necklace tight, my eyes burning with tears.
05:27After saying goodbye to the nun, I walked out of the convent, only to run straight into Imogen and Edmund.
05:33Sister, your necklace is so pretty!
05:36Anyway, you won't live long after marrying the Black Duke.
05:38Why don't you just give me the necklace?
05:42Absolutely no.
05:43I promised Mother to wear it at my wedding.
05:45Edmund stared at the necklace in my hands.
05:48He knew exactly how much it meant to me.
05:50But Imogen wouldn't stop whining.
05:53Edmund, I want it!
05:58Isabella, hand it over.
06:00Edmund, this is the wedding blessing my mother prayed for me! How dare you!
06:03Lady Isabella, you are so obsessed with wedding vows, are you still dreaming about marrying me?
06:08The moment he finished talking, Imogen lunged forward to grab it.
06:11She pulled it with a hard yank, and the necklace broke.
06:14The blue saffrons were scattered all over the ground.
06:17The day before the wedding, my father looked worried.
06:20Duke Black is cursed, and totally brutal.
06:24Are you sure you want to marry him?
06:28I had no other choice, so he looked issued.
06:31Father, the Ashwood family needs to bring back our honor, and we cannot disobey the Pope.
06:39My father didn't say a word.
06:42He just let out a deep sigh.
06:45Right after leaving my father's study, Imogen blocked my way, grabbing my hand with a nasty smirk on her face.
06:51Sister, stop dreaming about Edmund, and just go be your obedient little duchess.
06:57Looking at how paranoid she was acting, I just found it hilarious.
07:03Let go.
07:06I coldly shook her off, barely using any strength.
07:12But she gave me a wicked smile, turned around, and screamed as she threw herself into the pond behind her.
07:20Imogen!
07:25Edmund pulled her up immediately.
07:27Imogen curled up in his arms, trembling.
07:31I only wanted to pray for God's wedding blessing for Isabella, but she...
07:38Isabella!
07:40How can you be so evil?
07:46Before I could even speak, he shoved me straight into the lake.
07:53I struggled with my life, but he just carried Imogen and walked away without looking back.
07:58By the time I crawled out shivering and soaking wet.
08:06You already owe her a life.
08:10But, for the sake of our past, I can save you.
08:15He tossed the vash right at me and said,
08:17Drink this potion tomorrow night and you will be fake dead.
08:20I'll have someone sneak you out.
08:22All you have to do is agree to be my secret lover.
08:27I raised my hand and threw the vial straight into the deep water.
08:32You don't deserve it.
08:35Once tomorrow comes, I will have absolutely nothing to do with this traitor ever again.
08:39My half-sister and I both chose a shifter mate.
08:41In our previous life, she picked first and chose the Hawk Clan heir with the perfect looks and powerful family
08:46background.
08:47She left me the lowly serpent.
08:49Three years into her marriage, the Hawk Shifter's mistress and illegitimate son knelt before my sister and humiliated her completely.
08:57Meanwhile, I took control of the entire serpent clan and earned my husband's devotion.
09:01She pushed me off a cliff out of jealousy.
09:04When I opened my eyes, I was back on the day we chose our mates.
09:07My sister barely concealed the excitement in her voice as she rushed to wrap her arms around the serpent's tail.
09:11I knew then that she had been reborn too.
09:14The serpent clan are lustful by nature.
09:16I wonder how long she'll last.
09:18When Victoria threw her arms around that serpent's tail, face flushed with open adoration, even Lady Hargrove went still.
09:24Everyone knew the serpent clan was considered the lowest of the shifter races.
09:28Cold-blooded in every sense.
09:30The Hawk Clan, by contrast, made it for life.
09:33One wife, no exceptions.
09:34Loyalty written into their bones.
09:36And the Hawk male standing in the room today was the future clan leader.
09:40Sharp-eyed, broad-shouldered, the kind of man every woman in the room had been silently hoping to catch.
09:46Victoria still wouldn't let go of that tail.
09:48Lady Hargrove's expression curdled.
09:49She'd brought the serpent here specifically to humiliate me.
09:52She hadn't planned on her own daughter falling for it.
09:55Are you sure about this?
09:57Mother, he's the only one I'll ever marry.
09:59Even the serpent turned to look at her.
10:01His tail coiled hard around her waist, pulling her tight against his chest.
10:05That was what a serpent did when he felt something.
10:07The beginning of desire.
10:08Victoria's face went scarlet.
10:10Her resolve locked into place.
10:11Lady Hargrove pressed her lips together and gave in.
10:14With that settled, the Hawk male, Adrian Ashford, turned to me.
10:17He dipped his head in a slight, unhurried bow.
10:20Then it's you, Miss Alara.
10:22I'll send the betrothal gifts tomorrow.
10:24In my past life, it was Victoria who had chosen Adrian.
10:27She'd walked into the Ashford estate as its new mistress,
10:30draped in the prestige of the most powerful Hawk family in the region.
10:33He seemed devoted on the surface.
10:35Three years of polished appearances.
10:37Then a woman appeared at the gate with his 10-year-old son.
10:40Victoria came apart.
10:41She ran home to her mother, dignity in pieces.
10:44But Adrian had spent years building his reputation carefully.
10:47He brought the woman and boy home under the excuse of a drunken mistake.
10:50And to protect the Hawk clan's tradition against taking a second wife,
10:53he divorced Victoria outright.
10:55Lady Hargrove marched back to the Ashford estate to demand answers.
10:58The mistress met them at the door.
10:59Chin lifted.
11:00I'm Mrs. Ashford now.
11:02My son has awakened his abilities.
11:04What exactly are you going to do about that?
11:06Give it time.
11:07I'll be the clan leader's wife, then his mother.
11:09They were thrown out publicly.
11:11After that, Victoria unraveled.
11:13She sat in the courtyard every day, vacant and muttering.
11:16When someone passed close enough,
11:17she grabbed their leg with both hands, her face twisting.
11:20I'm the clan leader's wife!
11:22I am!
11:23I am!
11:24She never came back from it.
11:25My serpent husband, by contrast, had been born into nothing.
11:28But he dismissed every one of his kept women.
11:31He trained relentlessly and built his clan up from scraps.
11:34People said I'd made the better choice, after all.
11:36Even Lady Hargrove, who had never bothered to hide her contempt for me,
11:40started showing up at my door with smiles she didn't mean, asking me to visit.
11:45Then, Victoria had one of her lucid moments.
11:47She lured me to the edge of the cliff.
11:49I'll drag you down to hell with me.
11:51Her eyes burned in hatred as she shoved me over.
11:54Now she's chosen my husband instead.
11:57I wonder if she can handle the serpent's excessive affection.
12:00The Ashford betrothal gifts arrived quickly.
12:02They filled half the courtyard.
12:04Victoria didn't spare a glance for the serpent clan's meager offering.
12:07She sweet-talked Lady Hargrove into patting her trousseau until it groaned.
12:11Ivy told me that Victoria and her serpent had been meeting in secret.
12:14Someone had spotted them coming out of an alley together.
12:17Clothes barely clinging to them, her face still flushed.
12:20Half the street had seen it.
12:21She came to me the same afternoon, brimming.
12:24My fiancé loves me!
12:26What does that have to do with you?
12:27This is just how he shows his love for me!
12:30And if you say a single word to mother about any of it,
12:34I'll make your life miserable.
12:36I just watched her go.
12:37She looked nothing like the girl she used to be.
12:39The softness was gone.
12:41Whatever innocence had been in her face had been thoroughly used up.
12:44On our wedding day, two wedding horse carriage left the estate together.
12:47Drums, horns, the whole performance.
12:49Adrian Ashford sat high on a pale horse in his wedding white,
12:53all clean lines and devastating bone structure,
12:56looking exactly like someone who knew it.
12:58I knew why he'd gone through with this.
12:59The matriarch once said to him,
13:01You are the only heir.
13:02You must marry a noblewoman to continue the bloodline.
13:04That was the only condition for me to inherit the clan leadership.
13:07But his mistress was low-born, ineligible.
13:10He needed a proper wife.
13:11If she gave him a son first, better.
13:13Either way, he didn't lose.
13:14I set down my wedding bouquet.
13:16Two familiar figures had appeared at the side of the road.
13:18Father!
13:19The boy lunged toward Adrian's horse.
13:21The word was barely out before a beautiful woman yanked him back
13:23and smothered his mouth with her hand.
13:25Forgive us, everyone.
13:26My son misses his father.
13:28He got confused.
13:29He didn't mean anything by it.
13:30Adrian pulled his reins taut.
13:32He exhaled once.
13:33Today is my wedding.
13:34Can't you keep your child in hand?
13:36If he'd startled the horse carriage,
13:38I'd have had all your heads.
13:39Get them out of here.
13:40The woman's face went white.
13:42She bit her lip and stepped back.
13:43I'm so sorry.
13:44We're leaving.
13:45I wasn't about to let this dissolve quietly.
13:48Husband, don't be so hard on them.
13:51The child didn't mean any harm.
13:52And today is a happy occasion.
13:54Why not do a good deed?
13:55I actually need another servant woman as my side.
13:58If she's willing, she could come along with us.
14:00This woman had one obsession.
14:01Becoming Mrs. Ashford.
14:03Now that Adrian had taken a wife,
14:04she was already fraying at the edges.
14:06One of my people needed barely three sentences
14:08to maneuver her into showing up here today.
14:10If I offered her a door to the estate,
14:12she'd walk through it without thinking.
14:14She hesitated for half a breath,
14:15then looked away from Adrian's sharp, warning stare.
14:18Thank you, ma'am.
14:18The carriage rolled on.
14:20She followed behind, boy in hand.
14:22The crowd murmured approvingly along the route.
14:24The new Mrs. Ashford is something else.
14:26Even after that scene, she finds them a position.
14:29Must run in the family.
14:30The Ashfords are good people.
14:32They've returned over the centuries.
14:34Dragon heirs were too weak to survive the Dragonfire trial
14:37and could not awaken their dragon forms.
14:39Only my blood can strengthen their power
14:42and help them become the true dragon.
14:44No one knew these truths, except the Dragon King.
14:47I was the only Phoenix Princess Serena.
14:50The Dragon King asked me to choose any of his kin as my mate.
14:53He decreed whoever I chose would become the next Dragon King.
14:56In my past life, I chose the Dragon Prince I had loved for 10 years.
15:00I used my Phoenix blood to guide him through the Dragonfire trial,
15:04helping him become a true dragon and claim the throne.
15:07He repaid me by locking me on the altar,
15:09slitting my veins, and feeding my blood to my Nightingale stepsister.
15:13I never loved you.
15:14I can become a true dragon without you.
15:17Your blood can make Leora a Phoenix.
15:19That's your final worth.
15:21He drained me dry, carved my eyes into a crown,
15:24and turned my bones into a sword.
15:26I fell into a pool of my own blood for Leora.
15:29When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the mating hall.
15:32The day of choosing.
15:33Cassius was on one knee in front of me, the same arrogant look.
15:37Serena, which man will you choose to be your mate?
15:39The lineage of the dragon had returned over the centuries.
15:42Dragon heirs were too weak to survive the Dragonfire trial,
15:45and could not awaken their dragon forms.
15:48Only my blood can strengthen their power,
15:50and help them become the true dragon.
15:52No one knew these truths, except the Dragon King.
15:55Father, I know Serena loves me, but my soul belongs to Leora.
16:00I have bound myself to her with a blood oath.
16:02If I fail, may Dragonfire burn me to ashes!
16:06He asked for bonding with my stepsister.
16:08This hadn't happened in my last life.
16:10In that single look between us, I knew.
16:12Cassius had been reborn too.
16:14The court erupted.
16:16The Dragon King's face changed at once.
16:19The air sharpened.
16:20The other princes leaned forward, hungry.
16:22Everyone knew that marrying me was to take the throne.
16:25To refuse me was to throw the crown into the dirt.
16:29Father, I know Serena cannot live without me.
16:32I'll take her as secondary consort.
16:33I'll care for her all her days.
16:34Then, I understood.
16:36He was reborn with memory,
16:37convincing that I loved him so much,
16:39that I would answer any of his demands.
16:41Even it meant to be his secondary consort.
16:46Father, I know Serena loves me.
16:48But my soul belongs to Leora.
16:51I have bound myself to her with a blood oath.
16:53If I fail, may dragon fire burn me to ashes.
16:57How dare you?
16:58Leora is a lowborn and alive by Serena's mercy alone.
17:01She is not fit to sit with the real phoenix.
17:03A blood oath?
17:04Let me kill her.
17:04The vow dies with her!
17:06Cassius flinched.
17:07A flash of hatred crossed his face.
17:09What's the matter?
17:11You've always been desperate to marry me.
17:13I'm giving you the chance!
17:15Don't try my patience!
17:17You stole so much from Leora!
17:19It's only because she's too kind that I let you be my consort.
17:22His words almost made me laugh.
17:24Leora was just a nightingale spirit,
17:26the daughter of a slave.
17:28Before I was born,
17:29House Phoenix was attacked.
17:31Every egg in our hatching hall was lost or scattered.
17:34The survivor found a similar egg
17:36and mistook her for me.
17:37They raised her like a princess for years.
17:39A hundred years later,
17:41when we could first take our true forms,
17:43my mother and father saw the truth.
17:44But mother was kind.
17:46She kept Leora in the phoenix halls.
17:48She let her live with all the privileges of a phoenix princess.
17:51But Leora was never satisfied.
17:53The king's hand cracked across Cassius' face.
17:57Serena!
17:58This Weiss is a fool!
18:00Whatever you decide,
18:01his life is in your hands!
18:03Everyone here knew that marrying me
18:05would make them a king.
18:06But no one,
18:07not even Cassius,
18:08knew that only my blood
18:10could make them true dragons.
18:12Your majesty,
18:14I have chosen.
18:15Every eye in the hall fell on me.
18:17Cassius is most of all.
18:20I wrote the name into the dragon king's palm
18:22and leaned in to whisper my plan.
18:24The king paused,
18:26then nodded.
18:26If this is truly your wish,
18:28so be it.
18:29I'll see it done.
18:30You!
18:31Confine yourself to your chamber.
18:32Reflect on what you've done.
18:33Do not embarrass yourself again before the wedding.
18:35A flicker of triumph crossed Cassius' normally cold face,
18:39as if he had expected I would agree.
18:40I did not give him the satisfaction.
18:42My eyes fell to the far corner of the hall.
18:44A young man stood there,
18:46dressed in rags,
18:47but carried himself with quiet grace.
18:49A small black scale ridge
18:50ran along his temple.
18:52Early form of a dragon horn.
18:54He was nothing like the man I had once known.
18:56Outside the hall,
18:57Cassius had not gone.
18:58Beside him stood Leora,
19:00dressed in soft white,
19:01exactly an innocent, fragile girl.
19:03He saw me and pulled her forward.
19:04Serena,
19:05thank you,
19:06truly,
19:07for stepping aside and letting us be.
19:08If my parents were here to see your kindness,
19:11they would weep with joy.
19:12Her fingers lingered too long on her dry eyes,
19:14making sure everyone saw she had cried.
19:17Cassius' face softened at once.
19:19Stop it.
19:19You don't owe her a thing.
19:21I choose you.
19:22If anything,
19:23she should be thanking you for your generosity.
19:25If you hadn't agreed,
19:26I would never have made her my second-gen consort.
19:29Leora's parents died for your sake.
19:31The least you could do is make amends for your debts.
19:34Leora's parents had been nightingale spirits,
19:36a kind pair who had taken me in as their own.
19:39They had been hunted down by beasts during a journey.
19:41It was their deaths that had ignited my phoenix flame
19:43and brought house phoenix to my door.
19:45In my last life,
19:46I had let Leora take everything from me out of guilt.
19:49Only on the day I died did I learn.
19:51It was Leora who had led the beasts to her parents.
19:54She had murdered her own mother and father to be rid of me.
19:57I said nothing.
19:58I just stared.
19:59Cassius continued without even blinking.
20:01To make it up to Leora,
20:02I want your essence blood to make her a real phoenix.
20:08Alpha, I didn't mean to.
20:10I just want to be with you.
20:13On the day of my wedding to the Lycan prince,
20:15his childhood sweetheart,
20:17the wet nurse's daughter Rui,
20:18The wet made some gold coins for her retirement.
20:20Bury Rui properly.
20:21Then he went back to completing the blood covenant ritual with me,
20:24as if nothing had happened.
20:26Five years later,
20:27the night before Cain's coronation as Lycan king,
20:29the elders examined me and declared I was barren,
20:32would never bear children.
20:34He had his warriors drag me to the stone quarry behind the royal grounds,
20:37made me pave a road of atonement,
20:39said I could never return to court.
20:43She was carrying my pup when she died.
20:45Your Stormfang tribe weren't so powerful.
20:46Why would I have married you?
20:47Rui would still be alive,
20:48and so would my child.
20:48You don't deserve to have offspring.
20:50Spend the rest of your life moving stones.
20:52Atone for Rui and her pup.
20:56Within a year,
20:57my father and brother were framed for colluding with vampires.
20:59The entire Stormfang tribe was slaughtered.
21:03I coughed up blood and died.
21:06Then I opened my eyes.
21:08I was back,
21:09the day I was marrying into the royal court.
21:13Outside,
21:13the wolves were howling at the moon.
21:15The sound of Alpha Cain kicking the wedding carriage axle
21:17snapped me fully awake.
21:20I was reborn.
21:22I clenched my fists.
21:23My heart pounded.
21:23If the moon goddess was giving me a second chance,
21:25I wasn't going to waste it.
21:27The Stormfang tribe wouldn't die in vain.
21:29I would live this time,
21:30and I would make Cain pay for every drop of blood he spilled in my past life.
21:33Cain led me into the ritual circle.
21:35Freya, my handmaiden,
21:36steadied my arm.
21:36As she leaned in,
21:37I whispered a few quick words.
21:38She slipped away without a sound.
21:41She was a warrior raised by the Stormfang tribe.
21:43She'd been by my side since childhood.
21:45Handmaiden in name.
21:46Bodyguard in tree.
21:47I trusted her completely.
21:49The wedding between Alpha Cain and the daughter of Stormfang,
21:52every chieftain in the Northern Territories had come with their mates.
21:55It was the biggest union the North had seen in years.
21:57The daughter of Stormfang was about to become the luna of the royal court.
22:01In the name of the moon goddess,
22:03bind by blood.
22:04Then a young servant from Rue's room came running in.
22:06Alpha!
22:07Rue tried to kill herself!
22:10Tears streaming down her face,
22:12she dropped to her knees,
22:13forehead hitting the ground.
22:14Alpha!
22:14Rue tried to kill herself!
22:16Rue grew up with the Alpha!
22:17Please, Alpha, save her!
22:20Why would she do something so stupid?
22:23I told her I'd give her a title after the wedding.
22:25He turned to run,
22:26nearly tripped on the ritual circle steps,
22:28remembered it was his wedding day.
22:30He turned to run,
22:31nearly tripped on the ritual circle steps,
22:32remembered it was his wedding day.
22:34So he stopped, looked at me.
22:36Leora, I need to check on Rue.
22:37I'll come back and finish the blood covenant.
22:39The wedding's set.
22:40What's the hurry?
22:41Alpha, this is a matter of life and death.
22:43Why don't I come with you?
22:45Aluna should handle household affairs after all.
22:47Yes, yes, of course.
22:49So the Alpha and his bride-to-be left the ritual circle halfway through the ceremony to visit a wet
22:53nurse's daughter.
22:54The crowd whispered behind us,
22:55they couldn't believe it.
22:57Inside the wooden house,
22:57Rue was wearing a moonlight gown,
22:59the kind a bride was supposed to wear for the blood covenant.
23:03She'd dyed cheap burlap white herself.
23:05The stitches were crooked.
23:07Her half-shifted claws were pressed against her own throat.
23:10Her fingertips had already broken skin.
23:12Blood trickled down her neck.
23:14She saw Cain walk in,
23:15burst into tears,
23:16threw herself at him.
23:19Alpha, I didn't mean to.
23:20I just want to be with you.
23:21I know I'm Lohan.
23:22I can never be your Luna.
23:24But I wanted just once to wear a moonlight gown
23:26and complete the blood covenant.
23:30Be your mate since we were children.
23:35Why are you so stupid?
23:37I told you I'd give you a title after the Luna moved in.
23:39Why would you do this?
23:41If anything happened to you,
23:42how could I go on?
23:44Are you trying to rip my heart out?
23:46Rue took his hand,
23:47laced it gently over her stomach.
23:50Alpha, the healer, came a few days ago.
23:52I'm carrying your pup.
23:54Two months.
23:55I didn't want my child to be born low-lid.
23:58To be mocked and called bastard.
24:00That's why I...
24:01Really?
24:02You're carrying my pup?
24:06Yes, Alpha.
24:08We're having a child.
24:10They held each other.
24:11Everyone else just stared.
24:12Everyone else just stared.
24:14No way.
24:15The Alpha knocked up a wetmaid's daughter?
24:17On his wedding day,
24:17and she chose today to make a scene?
24:19Look at them.
24:19This is bad.
24:20Leora must be devastated.
24:21She's the future Luna.
24:22This is a slap in Stormhand's face.
24:25I let my face go pale,
24:26let the betrothal wolf fang slip from my fingers.
24:28It hit the ground with a clatter.
24:30I staggered back into my old nurse's arms.
24:36Alpha Cain.
24:38I thought she was just a servant.
24:39Now you're telling me she's pregnant with your pup?
24:41Cain looked at me, uncomfortable.
24:43Leora, she's my wet nurse's daughter.
24:45We grew up together.
24:47She's the woman I love.
24:49So you're in love.
24:51You've been meeting in secret,
24:52and now there's a child!
24:53Question after question.
24:55He didn't answer any of them.
24:56Rue scrambled off the bed,
24:57dropped to the floor in a full submission meal,
24:59forehead to the ground,
25:00hands spread wide,
25:01throat bared.
25:03Luna, it's not the Alpha's fault,
25:05it's mine.
25:05I couldn't control myself.
25:07I wanted to give the Alpha a pup.
25:09He drank too much that night.
25:10He thought I was you.
25:13My palm connected with her cheek.
25:18How dare you!
25:20I'm the legitimate daughter of Stormfung.
25:21I was raised with discipline.
25:23I will not be slander.
25:26I met the Alpha two times before the engagement,
25:28always with elders present,
25:30never alone.
25:30So don't drag my name through the mud
25:32just to make yourself look less disgusting.
25:35It's my fault, Luna.
25:39Forgive me.
25:40Then she half-shifted
25:42and dragged her own claws down her face.
25:43Three gashes from forehead to cheek.
25:45Stop!
25:50This isn't Rue's fault.
25:51She wasn't born powerful.
25:53You were.
25:54That's the only difference.
25:56Without your father's wolves,
25:58would I want you as Luna?
26:00Rue tried to kill herself today because of you.
26:02She's carrying my pup.
26:05Now you're married in.
26:07Rue is my consort.
26:09I won't leave her or my child without a title.
26:13Luna?
26:14The Lycan King himself had approved this match.
26:17If it weren't for this engagement,
26:18Cain wouldn't even be sitting in the Alpha's seat.
26:20The Luna position was granted by the Lycan King himself.
26:23How you've behaved today,
26:25on our wedding day,
26:26insults not only Stormfig but also the King.
26:30Then I turned to Rue.
26:32And you.
26:34You've known about the pregnancy.
26:36You wait until wedding day to make a scene.
26:39Are you really not doing this on purpose?
26:41Past life.
26:42Sister gave me cursed witch necklace.
26:45Stole my strength.
26:46Stole my health.
26:49Three days from now,
26:51Moon God alter.
26:52Her position's yours.
26:57Last of all,
26:58they wanted my life.
26:59Rafe!
27:00You will regret this!
27:02The Moon Goddess will
27:04punish your betrayal!
27:08I'll watch you from the abyss forever, Rafe.
27:16Don't worry, Your Highness.
27:17I'll help you.
27:24Every time I was in danger,
27:25he was there for me.
27:27I thought he was the one.
27:37model cowboy girl.
27:49The Moon Pissing
27:51The Moon Sheet遍
27:58The Moon
28:01Today we gather to witness the union of Princess Cleo of Mycenae and Achilles, son of Peleos.
28:07From this moment on, their fates shall be bound as one. Princess, you may present the tiara.
28:13I spent the entire day making this for him.
28:25Hello?
28:28You abused your power to force Norena into a political marriage with those in Troy.
28:33And now you expect me to marry you, Cleo. I will never love you.
28:41Achilles, get back here!
28:46We've then become enemies. He hated me for tearing him away from my stepsister.
28:50And I hated him for never letting her go.
28:57No! Let me go!
28:59The woman he couldn't forget was dead within days of arriving in Troy, sacrificed for breaking their sacred law.
29:06And I'm sorry, I have to guess...
29:24Let us know what your fortunes are, in this way and don't kill anyone.
29:25I won't gemacht you!
29:27I didn't get back.
29:27No, I didn't count.
29:28I didn't get back to you!
29:28I didn't get back to you!
29:29You're welcome!
29:35You're welcome to the camp.
29:35I just died here!
29:37For eight years, all we had for each other was hatred.
29:56He waited eight years for this war, eight years to avenge her.
30:26But it take more than one Achilles to win the war. The land was soon covered by the corpses of
30:31our men.
30:54What are you doing?
30:55I'm paving you a path out with my life.
31:03The invincible man chose to die for me.
31:19What are you doing?
31:31Achilles!
31:38If there's a next life, leave me.
31:44Be with Narina.
31:47Even in death, all he wants is to be with Narina.
31:51If there is another life, I will never chase after you again.
31:58Wait.
31:59I'm actually back to ten years ago.
32:01This is the day I begged my father to marry Achilles.
32:05Troy's messenger arrived this morning.
32:07I have to send a daughter marriage, or face war.
32:10Tell me, Clairo, do you still insist on marrying Achilles?
32:15Father, I've changed my mind.
32:17I will go to Troy, for peace.
32:20And I will leave Achilles to Narina.
32:29Clairo, haven't you always wanted to marry Achilles? What changed your mind?
32:32You are giving him to me, just like that?
32:35What is the catch?
32:36Relax. There's no catch.
32:38But I do have one condition.
32:41Of course, what is it?
32:42Keep this between us until the wedding.
33:00Father is so happy that I was the one going away.
33:03Of course.
33:04He's always favored my stepsister.
33:17There he is.
33:24Your Majesty, I beg you, do not send Nora to Troy!
33:29Take him away!
33:38Just like before, still on his knees, begging for her.
33:43What do you want?
33:45Did it ever occur to you?
33:47If Nereela doesn't go to Troy, I will.
33:51As long as I can still hold a spear, and as long as you stay out of it,
33:56no princess will have to be traded for peace.
33:59Then I hope you get what you wish for.
34:05When you find out your bride is Narina instead of me,
34:08I hope you'll be happy.
34:10You saved my life once,
34:12and this is my repayment.
34:14Now, we are clear.
34:21She's different today.
34:23She always makes a scene when she sees me fighting for Narina.
34:26Why is she so calm?
34:27Is she planning something?
34:39Mycelia and Troy are enemies for centuries.
34:42Narina was sacrificed on the day of arrival,
34:44which triggered the war that destroyed everything.
34:46If I can stop the Trojan Prince,
34:48maybe the inevitable.
34:52But...
34:52How?
35:06Why did you have to send Narina to Troy?
35:08To get rid of her?
35:09You just want her dead so badly, don't you?
35:11Achilles, let go!
35:12You're hurting me!
35:13Do you really think that you can bend my will
35:15to marry you with an order from your father?
35:17A jealous, vicious woman like you,
35:20you don't deserve love.
35:21You are not worthy to be the princess of Mycenae.
35:28Son of Peleus,
35:30mind your place.
35:42I'm sorry, Your Highness.
35:44I was drunk.
35:45You'll get what you want on the wedding day.
35:48Now leave.
35:52That's going to bruise.
35:54Let me treat it.
36:05Relax, Your Highness.
36:07I got you.
36:08I got you.
36:10I got you.
36:32I got you.
36:43Don't worry, Your Highness.
36:44I'll help you.
36:51Every time I was in danger,
36:53he was there for me.
36:54I thought he was the one.
37:17Achilles, it's not what it looks like!
37:21After Nerea is here,
37:22I finally understood.
37:24His kindness was never love,
37:25just repayment for what my mother did for him.
37:27And I held on to it,
37:29for far too long.
37:30It's time to let go.
37:33No thanks.
37:34I can take care of myself.
37:39She's never looked at me like that before.
37:42What happened?
37:43Achilles!
37:44Achilles!
37:53Where's the ivory carving you promised me?
37:56Here it is.
37:59Aw, it's so gorgeous!
38:01Is it a little rabbit?
38:04You're so perfect.
38:06I bet all the girls in my cellie
38:07would die for your favor.
38:08I only carve for the ones I love.
38:16He learned from my mother.
38:17When she was alive,
38:18she carved these for me.
38:21After she died,
38:22he inherited her kit
38:23so that he could carve for me.
38:25But everything changed
38:26after Nerea entered our life.
38:39No!
38:40You are not carving for her!
38:42Enough, Cleo!
38:43This is so childish,
38:45even for you!
38:49Have you forgotten Achilles?
38:52My mother died because of hers.
38:55She never cared about those carvings.
38:57She's just trying to provoke me.
39:02Why did Cleo leave?
39:04Is she...
39:05upset with me?
39:07No.
39:12So this is how much you hate me, Achilles.
39:14Fine.
39:15In three days,
39:16I will be gone for good.
39:22After tonight,
39:23you'll be on your way, Troy,
39:24and married to that barbaric prince.
39:25And still,
39:27your sister is too busy
39:28chasing after Achilles to care.
39:31This is ridiculous!
39:33You actually care about the kingdom
39:34while she only cares about herself.
39:37We'll miss you so much, Nerea.
39:44I am a princess of my seer.
39:46I should put the people first.
39:49If my marriage,
39:50my personal feelings must submit to my duty.
39:52Well said,
39:53your highness.
39:53You truly understand what it means to be a princess,
39:56unlike Clea,
39:57who couldn't even bother to show up tonight.
40:03Who told you I wasn't coming?
40:05And since when did any of you earn the right to speak for me?
40:09I rarely attend these things.
40:11And since she never planned on actually going, Roy,
40:13she knew I wouldn't be here to stop her performance.
40:31Mother,
40:32in two days,
40:33I'll be leaving for Troy.
40:35I'll take the testament you gave me.
40:37Give me courage,
40:39Mother.
40:43Where is it?
40:45No.
40:47Cleo.
40:49You took it, didn't you?
40:50Give it back to me!
40:51What are you talking about?
40:53Are you still mad at me
40:54because I made that little speech at the party?
40:55The talisman my mother left me.
40:57Do you have it?
41:05Help!
41:08Help!
41:09Achilles!
41:10Stop!
41:26I thought you were just selfish.
41:28Now I see you are just evil
41:30to attack her
41:31in front of your own mother's statue.
41:34If your mother could see you now,
41:36she'd be ashamed of you!
41:40Leave my mother out of this!
41:42And you,
41:43give it back!
41:44But I will be sent to throw tomorrow!
41:46I just wanted something to remind me of home!
41:49Please don't be mad, sister!
41:56It's just a talisman!
41:57Are you serious?
41:58I can carve you another one!
41:59Achilles,
42:01were you the one who took it from me?
42:04I sealed that pouch with a spell.
42:06He's the only one who knows how to open it.
42:11Nerina is being going to Troy because of you.
42:13Does she not even deserve a single talisman?
42:16No, don't fight because of me.
42:18I'll give it back.
42:19Here.
42:36Cleo!
42:38I'm sorry.
42:40That talisman.
42:42My mother made it for me.
42:47Cleo!
42:48Cleo!
42:48Cleo!
42:54Cleo!
42:54Achilles!
43:08Why are you still here?
43:10I lost my temper.
43:12I'm sorry.
43:14Here.
43:16I made you a new one.
43:18I don't need it anymore.
43:20Leave.
43:35Soon, you'll marry the only woman you've ever loved.
43:39And I won't have to feel anything for you.
43:42Ever.
43:44Captain gathered every unmated nail and told me and sister to choose.
43:50Nail shifters are ranked A, B, or C.
43:55My sister Lyra chose the clan's only a rank wolf shifter.
43:58She bore him five litters, every single one B rank.
44:01He raged to cast her out.
44:03Tore the bond like it was nothing.
44:06And me.
44:07I chose a B rank snake shifter, one litter, ten cubs, every single one B rank.
44:13The whole clan named me the sacred daughter.
44:18My mate inherited the chieftain's seat.
44:22Lyra couldn't stand it.
44:24She poisoned all ten of my children.
44:26Then she pushed me off a cliff.
44:29When I opened my eyes again, we were back, back to the day of choosing.
44:33I came back to myself just as Lyra pressed her body against the snake shifter's side.
44:37Chieftain.
44:38I choose Vos.
44:40She said it, and then she looked at me.
44:42The kind that said, I've already won.
44:43I understood she'd been reborn too.
44:45But this time, I absolutely won't let her control everything.
44:51Male shifters are born ranked S, A, B, or C.
44:54The higher the rank, the more valuable the males.
44:56C rank males were everywhere.
44:58B rank was considered a prize.
44:59A rank was rare enough to cause a stir.
45:01As for S rank, even the elderly chieftain had never seen one.
45:04Females in the beastlands were fewer than males.
45:06Their social standing was higher, which standing on the children they bore.
45:09The higher the rank of your cubs, the higher you climbed.
45:13In our last life, Lyra had wanted to be the top female in the clan.
45:16She'd gone straight for the only a rank wolf shifter without blinking.
45:21She'd told me to choose Vos, the snake shifter.
45:24Snakes have two, you know.
45:26But they lay eggs.
45:27Hatching eggs is so much easier than live birth.
45:30I'd listened.
45:31I'd chosen Vos.
45:33Well pregnant quickly.
45:34One clutch, ten cubs, every single one a rank.
45:37This clan had existed for over a century.
45:39Among clans, they'd never had more than five a rank shifters total.
45:43The chieftain declared Vos as successor on the spot.
45:54Lyra had conceived around the same time I had.
45:56She gave birth to a B rank cub.
45:58Then another.
46:01Then another five pregnancies total.
46:03Nothing above B.
46:04Nothing below C.
46:05She decided the problem was the wolf's bloodline.
46:08One night she crept into Vos.
46:10Vos threw her out of bed.
46:13Then called the entire clan to witness his innocence before dawn.
46:17The wolf shifter found out.
46:19He dissolved their bond and drove her out along with her children.
46:23Within a month, Lyra's cubs had all starved.
46:25She offered.
46:26They wouldn't bond with her.
46:27When Lyra was close to starving, I'd brought her back to mine.
46:30Given her meat for my own stores.
46:34She repaid me by destroying me.
46:39The chieftain nodded at me now, signaling it was my turn to choose.
46:42I scanned the remaining males.
46:44Then I pointed at the wolf shifter.
46:46I'd like to choo-
46:47A crack split the air.
46:48A hand connected with my face.
46:54The female who hit me belonged to Drac.
46:55The black tiger shifter.
46:57She demanding to know how I dared steal her male.
46:59I have nothing going on with Drac.
47:01Still denying it.
47:02I found this on my bed!
47:03That's your fur, isn't it?
47:07My shifted form was a white rabbit.
47:09The fur on the ground was rabbit fur.
47:12But that proved nothing.
47:13I wasn't the only rabbit in this clan.
47:15I opened my mouth to say exactly that.
47:18Lyra stepped forward.
47:19Her eyes went wide and shocked.
47:23Oh, sister.
47:25That night I saw you walking with Drac.
47:28I had no idea that's what you were doing.
47:32How could you go after a bonded male?
47:35You as well!
47:39Don't worry, your highness.
47:40I'll help you.
47:47Every time I was in danger, he was there for me.
47:50I thought he was the one.
47:53I thought he was the one.
48:24Today we gather to witness the union of Princess Cleo of Mycenae and Achilles, son of Peleos.
48:30From this moment on, their fates shall be bound as one.
48:34Princess, you may present the tiara.
48:37I spent the entire day making this for him.
48:51You abused your power to force Norena into a political marriage with Thoses in Troy.
48:56And now you expect me to marry you, Cleo.
48:59I will never love you.
49:04Achilles, get back here!
49:09We've then become enemies.
49:10He hated me for tearing him away from my stepsister.
49:13And I hated him for never letting her go.
49:20No!
49:21Let me go!
49:22The woman he couldn't forget was dead within days of arriving in Troy,
49:27sacrificed for breaking their sacred law.
49:57She died!
49:58Because of you!
50:00For eight years, all we had for each other was hatred.
50:19He waited eight years for this war, eight years to avenge her.
50:40Get him!
50:49For it take more than one Achilles to win the war, the land was soon covered by the corpses of
50:54our men.
51:17What are you doing?
51:19I'm paving you a path out, with my life.
51:26The invincible man chose to die for me.
51:32I'm evil.
51:34I'm evil.
51:47No!
51:48No!
51:49No!
51:50No!
51:52No!
