Short filmTranscript
00:00I was a witch, but born without magic.
00:03Instead, I carried a forbidden curse.
00:06Whatever doom I spoke became fate.
00:09When I was five, a dark witch sold me into the underground market and beat me half to death.
00:15I stared at her through the blood on my face.
00:17Your broom will throw you off, and you'll die from the fall.
00:22The words barely left my lips before her broom went wild.
00:26It smashed her head first into the stone.
00:28Blood splattered everywhere.
00:30Later, at the witch shelter, the matron stole our food.
00:34She locked me in the punishment cellar for days.
00:36I told her, the crows will peck out your eyes.
00:39Soon after, crows swarmed her at the tower window and tore out her eyes.
00:43She screamed as she fell down the stairs and broke her neck.
00:46After that, I became the monster every witch feared.
00:49So I learned to shut my mouth and play mute.
00:52Until the day the Ravenwoods found me and brought me home.
00:56Lydia was their adopted daughter.
00:58She had already awakened powerful magic.
01:01My parents sent me to Blackthorn Academy.
01:04They hoped the professors could awaken my magic too.
01:07But on my first day there, I pushed open the front door.
01:12Cassian, does Evelyn hate me now?
01:15She's been spreading rumors about me at the Academy.
01:18She said I slept Professor Harrington to get forbidden grinables and study dark magic.
01:22My mother stormed over and slapped me hard across the face.
01:26Your sister is innocent!
01:28She would never disgrace herself with a professor, let alone touch dark magic.
01:34My father pointed at me.
01:36I knew it.
01:37A powerless gutter witch could only rot with jealousy.
01:41Get to your room!
01:42I covered my face and saw the smug look in Lydia's eyes.
01:46You think I'm spreading rumors?
01:48Fine.
01:48Then you'd better be ready to live with the consequences when I open my mouth.
01:53Mom!
01:53Dad!
01:54Look!
01:54Evelyn's laughing!
01:56My mother's chest heaved with fury.
01:58She grabbed the silver teacup from the table.
02:01A spell flashed across her fingers.
02:03The scalding black teeth flew straight into my face.
02:06You cursed brat!
02:07I should never have brought you back!
02:09We gave you a room, robes, a wand, and the Ravenwood name!
02:12And you repay us by smearing your own sister at the Academy?
02:15How can you be so vicious?
02:17I bit down hard on my tongue until I tasted iron.
02:20Cassian gently rubbed Lydia's back.
02:22Then he looked at me with pure disgust.
02:24Evelyn, I told you from the start.
02:26You don't belong in the Ravenwood family, and you sure as hell don't deserve to be my fiancée.
02:31A witch with no magic is worth less than my fulfillia.
02:34If Lydia hadn't begged me to give you a chance, I would have called off this engagement ages ago.
02:39Now get on your knees and apologize to her, or I'm ending this farce right now.
02:44I lowered my head and stared at the tea, soaking into the black marble floor.
02:48I said nothing.
02:50My power had always been absolute.
02:52Onsen I spoke, fate obeyed without fail.
02:56In the six months since they brought me back, the Ravenwoods gave me something I had never had before.
03:01Warmth.
03:02When I had a fever, my mother stayed up all night using magic to cool my body.
03:06My father clumsily brewed me a healing potion.
03:09Even my brother, who had sworn he would never accept me, started sneaking sweets into my bag.
03:14My mother stroked my face and whispered,
03:17I'm sorry.
03:18You suffered alone for so long.
03:20To protect this fragile warmth, I sealed my lips shut.
03:24Because I knew the moment I spoke, I might destroy them all.
03:27Seeing my silence, Lydia's sobs grew louder.
03:30Does Evelyn think she can just play dumb and get away with this?
03:36She's been spreading those disgusting lies about me all over the academy.
03:40Now everyone looks at me like I'm tainted.
03:43How am I supposed to face anyone after this?
03:47He stormed over and grabbed the blue crystal pendant around my neck.
03:50With one hard yank, the chain snapped.
03:53It was the heirloom of the Ravenwood heir.
03:55My mother had recognized me because of it.
03:57She said I had worn it since birth.
04:00Give it back!
04:02Cassian sidestepped with a snake.
04:03I crashed to the floor.
04:05Don't touch me.
04:06Reach for me again and I'll snap your wrist.
04:09Then he placed the pendant around Lydia's neck.
04:11A crystal this pure belongs on someone powerful and worthy, like Lydia.
04:16A powerless mistake like you would only tint it.
04:19Before I could stand, my brother grabbed me by the collar.
04:23I knew we shouldn't have brought you back, you useless gutter witch!
04:27It was Lydia who begged me to be kind to you.
04:29She even gave up her own spell chamber for you for the past six months.
04:33She gave up everything she had for you, and this is how you repay her?
04:37You ungrateful snake!
04:38He shoved me to the ground and turned to scream at the servants.
04:42Butler! Lock this trash in the west tower right now!
04:45No one gives her a single drop of water without Maya permission.
04:49Understood.
04:50Two guards rushed forward and dragged me upstairs.
04:53I was locked in the west tower for seven days.
04:56Every night, a maid slid one bowl under the door.
05:00Inside were only cold scraps.
05:02Outside, laughter echoed through the manor.
05:04The four of them sounded like a perfect family.
05:07Every day, Lydia brought Cassian past my door.
05:10Her sweet voice slipped through the crack.
05:12Cassius, this enchanted bracelet is too expensive.
05:15Why don't you give it to Evelyn?
05:18I know you love me, but Evelyn is the real Ravenwood daughter.
05:22She is also the one you're engaged to.
05:25Maybe we should just end this.
05:27As long as I can see you happy from afar.
05:30That's enough.
05:31Cassian pulled her into his arms.
05:32Then he kicked my door hard enough to shake the frame.
05:36Stop talking nonsense.
05:37That gutter witch isn't even worthy of carrying your shoes.
05:40Just looking at her face makes me sick.
05:43Why would I give her something this precious?
05:46Don't worry, Lydia.
05:48Even if I marry her, I'll never touch her.
05:52You're the only one I'll ever love.
05:54I leaned against the door and listened.
05:56A dry laugh scraped out of my throat.
05:59Wearing something that powerful to bed?
06:02Be careful.
06:04You might wake up with a stiff neck.
06:05The next morning, Lydia's scream tore through the hallway.
06:09Ah!
06:10It hurts!
06:11My neck!
06:12I can't move!
06:15Then came the panicked footsteps of the servants.
06:18I sat in the dark, a slow smile spreading across my face.
06:22On the eighth day, the lock finally clicked open.
06:25Lydia stood in the doorway.
06:27Oh my god, Evelyn.
06:28You look like death.
06:29Did you really starve yourself just to guilt trip us?
06:34Come on, get up.
06:36Mom and Dad want you at Blackthorn Academy.
06:39All you have to do is stand in front of everyone, admit you lied, and apologize to me.
06:43Then we can all move on.
06:45I pushed myself to my feet and walked toward the door.
06:51In the hallway, Lydia stopped beside the old hearth.
06:54The flame spirit burned quietly.
06:56You poor little bastard.
06:58Think you could steal my parents and my man?
07:01I froze, and before I could speak, Lydia screamed.
07:04Evelyn, no!
07:05I swear I won't take the Ravenwood airship from you!
07:09The flame spirit in the hearth suddenly shrieked.
07:11Red fire surged out like a living creature.
07:14Lydia!
07:15Cassian rushed forward.
07:16He pulled Lydia into his arms and shoved me away.
07:20The living flame struck me instead.
07:22I crashed to the floor.
07:23Fire crawled across my arm and shoulder.
07:26My parents and brother came running from every direction.
07:29Lydia was safe in Cassian's arms.
07:31Cassian, don't blame Evelyn.
07:35She must have been too upset.
07:37I know she didn't mean to anger the hearth spirit.
07:40My brother's eyes turned red.
07:42That hearth spirit has guarded this manor for 20 years.
07:45It has never attacked anyone.
07:46There's no way this was an accident.
07:48My mother slapped me twice across the face.
07:51How did we ever give birth to a monster like you?
07:54If I really wanted to hurt her, I wouldn't need to lift a finger.
07:59My brother shook with rage.
08:01He kicked over a silver plant stand.
08:05Dad!
08:06Mom!
08:06Mom!
08:07Do you hear her?
08:08Do you hear her?
08:09She nearly made the hearth spirit burn Lydia alive.
08:13And now she's still acting innocent.
08:15Cassian held Lydia in his arms.
08:16His face is twisted with fury.
08:20You still won't admit what you did.
08:23Stop pretending this was an accident.
08:25That hearth spirit would never attack unless someone provoked it.
08:28My father turned away, as if even looking at me disgusted him.
08:32Get her out of my sight.
08:33I struggled against the guards and let out a sharp, bitter laugh.
08:36Since you all believe I made the hearth spirit attack her, then let it be true.
08:40Let it burn her until she passes out from the pain!
08:42The moment my words fell, the blue flame clinging to the hearth suddenly stirred.
08:46A thin tongue of fire crawled across Lydia's sleeve before flaring violently.
08:51Get a healer!
08:52Take her to the healing ward now!
08:54My brother scooped Lydia up and rushed out of the manor.
08:57Within seconds, they were gone.
08:59I was thrown back into the West Tower like garbage.
09:04A few days later, Lydia returned.
09:06My parents and brother shoved me into an enchanted carriage and dragged me straight to Blackthorn Academy.
09:18The Academy Hall was packed from wall to wall.
09:21In the center of the hall, a giant crystal screen played the same images on loop.
09:25It showed Lydia staying up late in the library, preparing for the magic trial.
09:29My father stepped onto the platform.
09:33Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great misfortune to announce that we brought home a daughter of such rotten character.
09:41Out of jealousy, she spread vicious rumors about Lydia across Blackthorn Academy.
09:50She has disgraced the Ravenwood name and committed an unforgivable crime against her own sister.
09:56My mother stood beside him, covering her face.
10:00Soon, whispers filled the hall.
10:03Gutter trash is still trash, even with a noble name.
10:06She grew up in a witch shelter.
10:07No wonder she lies and curses people.
10:09If she can frame her own sister, what won't she do?
10:12Their words tightened around me like a noose.
10:15Lydia, supported by Cassian.
10:18Evelyn, I know why you did this.
10:20All you have to do is sign this oath, admit you lied, and apologize to me in front of everyone.
10:26Then I'll forgive you.
10:27Rage burned in my chest.
10:29I never said those things.
10:31But if I had said you slept with Professor Harrington...
10:34Before I could finish, Cassian kicked the back of my knee.
10:38That's what she deserves!
10:39A powerless witch trying to curse a real one?
10:42Pathetic.
10:42Shame cut through me, like a blade, and then...
10:46Stop!
10:47Evelyn didn't lie!
10:48I can prove it!
10:49Everyone froze.
10:53She was the first-year student I had comforted on my first day at Blackthorn Academy.
10:58That day, she had been crying in the corridor after a professor humiliated her in class.
11:05Now she planted herself in front of me.
11:08I saw it with my own eyes that night in the Forbidden Archives.
11:11Lydia went into Professor Harrington's private study after midnight.
11:15They stayed there together for hours.
11:17And I recorded everything with a memory crystal!
11:19The entire Academy Hall fell silent.
11:22Lydia's face drained of color but recovered quickly.
11:25She threw herself into Cassian's arms and wailed.
11:28Cassian!
11:29How many coins did Evelyn give this girl to lie for her?
11:31First she makes up disgusting rumors about me.
11:34Now she bribes some poor student to support her lies!
11:37What kind of monster does that?
11:40I can't take this anymore.
11:42I'd rather die!
11:43The crowd's shock instantly turned into contempt.
11:46Cassian's expression darkened.
11:48Then he stepped forward and backhanded her across the face.
11:51The girl lost her balance and hit the floor hard.
11:55Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
11:57You've gone too far!
11:59Throw this traitor's little bitch out of Blackthorn Academy!
12:02Expel her immediately!
12:04Mark her name before the Witch Council.
12:05I want every Academy and noble house to reject her!
12:09Four enchanted guards rushed forward and struck her again and again.
12:13She curled into a ball on the marble floor.
12:15Her screams were weaker and weaker.
12:17I knelt on the cold floor, watching the girl be beaten half to death for telling the truth.
12:22I bit my lower lip until blood ran down my chin.
12:25Stop!
12:33Lydia cut me off and threw herself at my parents' feet.
12:38Mom!
12:39Dad!
12:40Evelyn only did this because she's afraid I'll steal her place.
12:43She clutched my father's robe, tears streaming down her face.
12:47I know she hates me.
12:48She hates that I lived the life she should have had.
12:50I don't want the Ravenwood airship.
12:52Give everything to Evelyn.
12:54Give her all your love, too.
12:55After all, I'm just an adopted daughter.
12:58As long as you let me stay by your side, I'll be happy.
13:01Even if it kills me.
13:02My mother immediately pulled Lydia into her arms.
13:05Then she pointed at me.
13:07Evelyn, look at how selfless your sister is!
13:10You selfish, cursed brat!
13:12Are you trying to tear this family apart?
13:15Cassian strode over and grabbed my hair.
13:19Everyone, look at this vile witch.
13:22Today, I, Cassian Blackhorn, officially break my engagement with Evelyn Raven first.
13:30Next month, Lydia and I will hold the grandest bonding ceremony in the Covenant.
13:35My father stood on the platform like a judge passing sentence.
13:39If you refuse to confess and apologize right now,
13:43I will strip you of the Ravenwood name in front of the entire Academy.
13:47A powerless daughter like you will never be Ravenwood's heir.
13:51Not now.
13:52Not ever.
13:56Cassian stepped on the back of my hand.
13:58His boot ground my bones against the marble.
14:01The bones in my hand snapped.
14:02Pain rushed straight to my skull.
14:05Around me, the students laughed.
14:06My parents' disgusted voices echoed in my ears.
14:10The last thread of love I had for the Ravenwood's night.
14:14Then I opened my eyes.
14:16I'll ask you one last time.
14:18Are you sure you want me to confess in front of everyone?
14:24Lydia lifted her chin smugly.
14:27Of course.
14:28You did it.
14:29Now admit it.
14:31Stop wasting time.
14:34Apologize.
14:35My parents and Cassian snapped impatiently.
14:40Fine.
14:42I confess.
14:43I said Lydia slept with Professor Harrington to get forbidden Grinifies.
14:48I said she used dark magic to cheat through the Academy's magic trial.
14:53And I said she caught a filthy dark magic disease from him.
14:58Not only that.
15:01Lydia is pregnant.
15:03And the child belongs to Professor Harrington.
15:10The entire Academy Hall fell deathly silent.
15:14Lydia froze for a second.
15:15Then spun toward the crowd and shouted.
15:17You all heard that, right?
15:19She finally admitted it!
15:22She made everything up!
15:28What are you waiting for?
15:30Get on your knees and apologize!
15:33But just as she reached the peak of her victory, Lydia let out a blood-curdling scream.
15:41Lydia collapsed to the marble floor, clutching her stomach.
15:45Her face twists in agony.
15:47Dark blood began running down her legs.
15:50It spread across the marble in a horrifying pool.
15:54Lydia!
15:56Cassian's face turned white.
15:58He rushed to her side.
15:59And then crash!
16:01The doors of the Academy Hall burst open.
16:05Professor Harrington's wife stormed in with a group of witches behind her.
16:09Where is that home-wrecking little witch, Lydia Ravenworld?
16:14His wife's eyes locked onto Lydia.
16:16She charged forward and grabbed Lydia by the collar.
16:19Then she ripped her out of Cassian's arms.
16:21Before anyone could react, she slapped Lydia hard across the face.
16:25You filthy little witch!
16:28You seduced my husband!
16:31Everyone, look at this!
16:34My husband caught a filthy dark magic disease from her!
16:39She pulled several parchment reports from her cloak and threw them onto the floor.
16:44The parchment scattered across the marble.
16:46A wave of gasps swept through the hall.
16:49Cassian's face turned pale.
16:51He stared at the reports in disbelief.
16:53Lydia was already barely conscious.
16:55Blood streamed from the corner of her mouth.
16:58But she still crawled toward Cassian and grabbed his robe.
17:02Cassian, it's not true.
17:04I don't have any disease.
17:11This is all Emily's doing!
17:15She hired these people to ruin me!
17:18She even forged the healing of reports!
17:21She'll do anything to frame me!
17:23Then he looked at Lydia's tear-streaked face.
17:26Get away from her!
17:29Cassian kicked Professor Harrington's wife back.
17:32Several Ravenwood guards immediately surrounded her.
17:35If you touch my fiancée's again, you'll regret it.
17:38Evelyn, do you ever stop?
17:40You hired people and forged healing reports just to prove your disgusting lies?
17:48Lydia's magic is pure.
17:51She would never carry dark magic.
17:53This is unforgivable!
17:57How did we ever raise such a venomous snake?
18:02You even thought of something this evil?
18:05My mother knelt beside Lydia.
18:07My poor baby!
18:09How did you end up with such a cruel sister?
18:11And stroked her bloodied face.
18:13This is all my fault.
18:15Mom, it hurts so much.
18:18Suddenly, Lydia let out another agonized scream.
18:21Motherfucker!
18:22Her body went limp.
18:24She collapsed in a growing pool of blood.
18:28Lydia!
18:29Summon the Black Pumpkin Carriage!
18:31Take her to the House of Healing now!
18:33Cassian shouted at the guards.
18:35My parents and brother stumbled after them in panic.
18:38The Academy Hall fell into chaos.
18:40My brother grabbed me by the collar.
18:42You're coming with us.
18:43And dragged me toward the exit.
18:46If anything happens to Lydia, you'll pay with your life.
18:50He shoved me into the carriage.
18:52I watched the carriage race ahead.
18:54A cold smile touching my lips.
18:57The hallway outside the House of Healing was silent.
19:00Only my mother's muffled sobs echoed under the stone arches.
19:04Finally, the red crystal above the door went dark.
19:09A healer stepped out.
19:11His face is grave.
19:13Cassian and my family rushed toward him.
19:16Healer!
19:18How is she?
19:23The bleeding came from a torn blood vessel.
19:25There are also signs of blunt force injury.
19:28She needs bed rest.
19:30What?
19:32Internal bleeding?
19:33And injuries?
19:35Cassian froze in shock.
19:36My parents and brother looked just as stunned.
19:39A nurse witch wheeled Lydia into a private healing chamber.
19:43We followed her inside.
19:45Lydia's eyes slowly opened.
19:48When she heard the healer's instructions, even she looked shocked.
19:51But in the next second, she grabbed Cassian's hand.
19:54Cassian, you won't look down on me because of this, will you?
20:00But I swear I'm innocent.
20:03Those injuries happened because Professor Harrington tried to force me, and I fought back.
20:09His people hurt me because I refused him.
20:12This proves I stayed loyal to you.
20:15Cassian's body went stiff.
20:16The doubt in his eyes turned into pity.
20:21Lydia, you went through all that?
20:23For me?
20:27Lydia nodded weakly.
20:30Of course it was for you.
20:32I didn't want to use this to force you to marry me.
20:35Cassian believed her completely.
20:37I was going to wait until you ended things with Evelyn.
20:39He held her hand tight.
20:41Evelyn, what do you have to say now?
20:44Lydia fought him off to stay loyal to me.
20:46How could she possibly be sleeping in with Professor Harrington?
20:49Those people who stormed into Blackthorn Academy were obviously hired by you.
20:53My father let out a long sigh of relief.
20:56Send word to Blackthorn Academy at once.
20:59Announce that Lydia and the Blackthorn family will continue the engagement.
21:02As for Evelyn's ridiculous slander, it has been exposed.
21:06And hand the intruders over to the Witch Council.
21:10Do you hear that?
21:12Lydia is devoted to Cassian.
21:14You tried to curse your own sister with lies.
21:17You're not even worthy of being called a witch.
21:20Cassian helped Lydia settle onto the healing bed.
21:23Then he strode toward me.
21:26Evelyn, I gave you a chance.
21:28And you threw it away.
21:31Once Lydia recovers, I'll personally send you to the Council prison.
21:35Faced with their accusations, I felt nothing.
21:38Instead, I started laughing.
21:40Whether she stayed loyal to you or not,
21:42the dark magic marks on her body will tell you the truth soon enough.
21:45At my words, panic flashed across Lydia's face.
21:48But she quickly hid it.
21:50You're lying, you psychopath!
21:53You're just jealous that I won Cassian's heart.
21:56You couldn't make Mom and Dad love you.
21:58You couldn't make Cassian want you.
22:00So now you're cursing me with some disgusting dark magic disease?
22:05Cassian raised his hand to slap me again.
22:07But the chamber door suddenly opened.
22:09Who is the patient's family?
22:11I'm her fiancé.
22:12Is she going to be okay?
22:13The healer glanced at him.
22:15His expression turned complicated.
22:16He handed the glowing reports to Cassian.
22:19We found dark magic marks on Lydia Ravenhood's body.
22:23She is already in a dangerous stage.
22:25The healing chamber fell into complete silence.
22:28Cassian staggered backward, his legs gave out, and he collapsed to the floor.
22:32He stared at Lydia in horror.
22:34No!
22:35That is impossible!
22:36You must be wrong!
22:37I know what happened!
22:38The magic blood crystal must have been tainted!
22:42Cassian, you have to believe me!
22:44Miss Ravenwheel, that's impossible.
22:47The magic blood crystal wasn't tainted.
22:49The dark magic marks on your body have been there for at least two months.
22:53Also, about the child...
22:57My stomach!
22:58The healer was interrupted.
22:59Please, help me!
23:01Something's wrong!
23:02I leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching the scene unfold with cold amusement.
23:08Cassian, if you want the truth, why don't you send someone to check Professor Harrington?
23:12See if he has the same dark magic marks.
23:15Cassian's hand shook as he pulled out a communication crystal.
23:17Lord Cassian, it's confirmed.
23:19Professor Harrington has the same dark magic marks.
23:21And sir, there's more.
23:22Miss Ravenwheel is pregnant.
23:24The whole academy is saying the child belongs to Professor Harrington.
23:27The academy's magic trial has been suspended.
23:30His steward's panicked voice came through.
23:32Lord Cassian, it's confirmed.
23:35The communication crystal slipped from Cassian's hand and crashed against the floor.
23:40His face shifted from shock to confusion to realization.
23:44And finally, to pure rage.
23:46You're...
23:47Pregnant?
23:48Lydia's face went deathly pale.
23:51Yes.
23:52She is about eight weeks pregnant.
23:54As I was trying to say earlier...
23:55You lying piece of trash!
23:57We haven't even bonded yet!
23:59You said you wanted to wait until the wedding night!
24:00Whose child is it?
24:01How many men have you been with?
24:03Cassian, please!
24:04I was forced!
24:05I only did it to help you in support for the magic trial.
24:07Professor Harrington drugged me with a potion and took advantage of me.
24:10But the child is yours.
24:11I swear it's yours.
24:13I knew you weren't ready to be a father to use a fertility spell with your preserved blood.
24:16I only wanted to carry your child myself.
24:18My parents and brothers were frozen in place.
24:21Their faces pale as ghosts.
24:24They looked at Lydia, bruised, bleeding, pregnant, and marked by dark magic.
24:28Then they turned to look at me.
24:30Standing calmly by the doorway, in that moment they finally understood.
24:35I had not lied.
24:36My brother looked down at his trembling hands.
24:38Those same hands had beaten me and called me ungrateful.
24:42All for this lying woman.
24:43The weight of guilt nearly crushed him.
24:46His legs weakened, and he had to grab the wall to keep from falling.
24:50Cassian finally stopped and climbed off the bed, panting hard.
24:53He stared at Lydia's ruined face with disgust.
24:56You said the bastard in your belly is mine?
24:58He let out a cold laugh and turned to his house guards.
25:01Fine.
25:02Since she claims she carries my child, make sure she stays alive.
25:05Watch her day and night.
25:06I don't care how much it costs.
25:08Make sure that child is born.
25:09His eyes turned colder.
25:11Then we'll test its bloodline.
25:24Both Lydia and Professor Harrington were placed under house arrest.
25:28Cassian stationed house guards and private healers outside Lydia's chamber, watching her day and night.
25:33He called it protection for the child.
25:35But everyone knew what it really was.
25:37A prison without bars.
25:38During her confinement, Lydia tried more than once to get rid of the baby.
25:43She tried drinking forbidden abortive potions.
25:46She tried casting blood spells on herself in secret.
25:50She even tried to throw herself into the manor's lake.
25:53But every time, the healers and guards stopped her before she could succeed.
25:57After Lydia's scandal, Ravenwood Manor became a joke among the noble houses.
26:03My father and brother finally began investigating her past.
26:06Every rumor I had supposedly made up turned out to be true.
26:10She had slept with Professor Harrington for forbidden grimoires.
26:13She had used dark magic to cheat through the Academy's magic trial.
26:17She had lied to everyone.
26:19One truth after another struck my family across the face.
26:23By the end, they were dizzy with shame.
26:26Three days after I moved out of Ravenwood Manor, my brother cornered me outside my new residence.
26:33Evelyn, I brought you those honey cakes from the shop you used to like.
26:37I waited two hours in line.
26:39They're still warm.
26:41Please, Evelyn, just have one.
26:43I stopped and looked at him calmly.
26:45Then I took the box from his hands.
26:48For one brief second, hope lit up in his eyes.
26:51Then I turned my wrist.
26:53The honey cakes fell onto the dirty stone road, their golden crusts breaking apart.
26:59I don't like honey cakes.
27:01I like pancakes.
27:02But no one in the Ravenwood family ever bothered to make me a single stack.
27:05My brother stood frozen in place.
27:07Tears rolled down his haggard face.
27:11A week later, Blackthorn Academy reopened the magic evaluation.
27:15That day, every noble witch in Blackthorn Academy gathered in the evaluation hall.
27:20The crystal orb sat in the center of the hall.
27:23When I placed my hand on it, the crystal orb cracked.
27:26A thin black line slipped through its center.
27:31The professors rushed forward.
27:37This is not ordinary magic.
27:40This is prophecy magic.
27:42The power of a forbidden prophet!
27:44Gasps swept through the halls.
27:47My father stared at me, frozen.
27:49My brother's face went white.
27:51All those years, they thought I had no magic.
27:54They were wrong.
27:55My power had never lived in my blood.
27:57It lived in my voice.
27:59My father stumbled toward me.
28:01His eyes read.
28:04Come home.
28:07Ravenwood was wrong.
28:08I was wrong.
28:09You are the strongest witch this family has ever produced.
28:12The airship is yours.
28:14Every property, every Grenamore, everything is yours.
28:19I looked at him calmly and smiled.
28:22But I don't need Ravenwood anymore.
28:28That was when Cassian appeared.
28:30The once arrogant air of House Blackthorne looked hollowed out now.
28:36Evelyn, I broke off my engagement with Lydia.
28:39I was blind.
28:40I was stupid.
28:41She manipulated me and I believed every word.
28:43Give me one more chance.
28:44A bond between Ravenwood and Blackthorne would still be the strongest alliance in the coven.
28:49Wait for the baby.
28:50Cassian's face turned ashen.
28:52In the days that followed, my mother came to my residence carrying a pot of homemade stew.
28:57She cried so hard she could barely breathe.
29:04Evelyn, please.
29:12Save the stew for your beloved Lydia.
29:14With her condition, she's the one who needs the nourishment.
29:17My mother's sob stopped at once.
29:19She crumpled to the floor and stared at my retreating figure as if she had finally understood something.
29:24The day Lydia went into labor, the House of Healing was thick with dread.
29:29My parents, my brother, and Cassian sat in tense silence outside the birthing chamber, waiting for the final answer.
29:44Then, Cassian turned and stormed into Lydia's recovery chamber, his face cold with rage.
29:50Congratulations.
29:52You played me for a fool long enough to make me the laughingstock of everyone!
29:59Enjoy the rest of your life in the dungeon.
30:06From that day on, my brother vanished from Ravenwood Manor.
30:10He went back to the witch shelter where I had once suffered, saying he wanted to atone for what he
30:15had done.
30:16Three months later, news came back.
30:18He had died protecting a group of abandoned witch children from the dark witches of the underground market before he
30:24died.
30:25He left only one letter for me.
30:27Evelyn, I know I don't deserve forgiveness.
30:30I only hope that in my next life, I can be your brother before I become anyone else's.
30:37I read the letter once, then I threw it into the fire.
30:41I did not cry.
30:44Cassian, meanwhile, nearly tore House Blackthorn apart trying to win me back.
30:49He sent rare spellbooks, moonstone jewels, and ancient protective charms, but I accepted none of them.
30:56At the next coven banquet, Cassian approached me with a glass of wine.
31:00The arrogant heir who once stepped on my hand now looked pale and exhausted.
31:06Evelyn, I was arrogant and stupid.
31:10If you can forgive me, I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
31:15Whatever you want, I'll give it.
31:17I swirled the wine in my glass and looked at the man who had once stood above me.
31:22Lord Blackthorn, you should probably check yourself for dark magic marks first.
31:27Cassian froze.
31:28For once, he had nothing to say.
31:31One year later, I no longer lived as the unwanted daughter of Ravenwood.
31:35After my power was exposed, the coven stopped calling me powerless.
31:39They feared my name.
31:41I was Evelyn Hale.
31:43I used part of my fortune to buy a small street across from Blackthorn Academy and opened a flower shop.
31:48I named it Sunflower, then I tracked down the young witch who had been beaten and expelled for defending me,
31:54and I brought her back.
31:59Starting today, this shop is yours to manage.
32:06The profits will be shared with you, and no coven will ever blacklist you anymore.
32:10The young witch broke down in tears, saying I had given her a life again.
32:14On a quiet night, I stood outside the shop and looked toward the lights of the city.
32:19From today forward, may everyone I love live in peace and joy.
32:24And may everyone I hate never get what they desire.
