00:03my sister sabrina and i married into the serpent shifter house at the same time she wanted to be
00:08the noble clan leader's wife so she chose the powerful black serpent but the black serpent
00:13cared only for his ambitions he neglected her ignored her even tried to give her away to
00:19others in exchange for power and influence meanwhile the sickly white serpent i married
00:26turned out to be a hopeless romantic and more than that he underwent a second awakening killing the
00:32black serpent who'd already become clan leader in the ritual duel the day i became the new lady of
00:37the house my sister's eyes were burned with resentment she drove a silver bodkin into my chest
00:44when i opened my eyes again we'd both returned to the day we chose our husbands this time my sister
00:50chose the white serpent first i smiled like i didn't care because black serpent or white serpent
00:56neither was a good snake when my mother was pregnant she'd saved a pregnant serpent shifter
01:03in gratitude the shifter sent a marriage contract to our family later both my mother and the serpent
01:08shifter gave birth to twins the shifter was grateful for my mother saving her life and shifter families
01:15needed to regularly take in human blood to keep their beast instincts from overwhelming them
01:20preventing them from devolving into mindless animals the clan betrothed both of us into their bloodline
01:26the day we chose our husbands father placed two photographs before us and told us to pick
01:31one showed a strong dark scaled serpent shifter damien the other showed a pale sickly looking serpent
01:37shifter victor the photos had barely touched the table before my sister snatched up victor's her lips
01:43curled upward her deliberately slowed tone still couldn't hide the glee underneath dear claire
01:48i hear damien is the one most likely to inherit the family the highest talent the greatest strength
01:55but i just prefer victor's white serpent form otherwise i'd have picked him she lifted her chin
02:03eyes flicking toward me with contempt as if she were generously handing me something precious
02:08little sister if you become the lady of the house someday don't forget to look after your big sister
02:13after all i'm the one who paved this golden road for you i picked up damien's photo slowly my lashes
02:19lowered hiding the faint smile rippling through my eyes on our wedding day my sister deliberately hiked
02:25up her skirt to catch up to me she leaned close to my ear her soft tone laced with venom
02:30claire this life
02:31it's your turn to live as a neglected wife congratulations i pushed her away smiling as i
02:39took in her beautiful face beneath the bridal finery my dear sister even after five years in the ashworth
02:45estate she was still as naive as a child that snake pit of a house there were no good snakes
02:50father
02:52talked about the marriage pact our late mother had with the ashworth family his old wrinkled fat face brimming
02:58with pride and calculation your mother got lucky that time stormed off after a fight with me ended up
03:05saving the ashworth family matriarch the ashworths one of the top 10 shifter bloodlines in the world
03:12once you marry in you'll have more wealth and power than you can imagine don't forget to look after the
03:18family back home in my previous life my sister had been utterly swayed by father's words she decided on
03:25her husband long before the wedding she wanted damien the designated first heir one step away from
03:31lady of the house what she hadn't counted on was that damien was married to ambition love simply didn't
03:37exist in his world no matter how my sister flattered him seduced him she never got a response to damien
03:44she was less interesting than the training dummies in the courtyard after damien became clan leader
03:50he traded her away at a gala without hesitation handing her to a rival shifter house in exchange
03:56for a business deal meanwhile i married victor and became one half of the most envied bonded pair in
04:02the family victor was romantic and attentive he loved showing me off in public always preparing little
04:09surprises the other wives constantly teased us for being too sweet then victor underwent his second
04:15awakening in the ritual duel he killed damien at first and declared himself the new clan leader
04:21on the spot damien had given her to the eagle shifter house one rank above the ashworts she'd been
04:28tormented before being so cut she thought that even without her husband's love she'd still be the
04:33prestigious lady of the house but victor killed damien and she couldn't even do that anymore across the
04:39crowd she shot me a look full of rage and jealousy i leaned against victor's blood-soaked chest fighting
04:46to control my trembling body the smell of blood flooded my nose my muddled brain couldn't even process
04:52why she was looking at me like that it wasn't me who killed her husband the day i tried on
04:58the lady of
04:58the house gown my sister snuck out of her recovery quarters and into my rooms she shoved me to the
05:04ground and pulled the sharp silver bodkin from her hair claire did you know all along that victor would
05:10have a second awakening the bodkin sank slowly toward my fragile throat you've never been better than me
05:18not since we were children and you won't get above me now the lady of this house can only be
05:24me
05:24i stared at my reflection my neck looked so pale and breakable in the glass i thought it all mercilessly
05:30she'd killed me in our previous life and couldn't help but laugh coldly this life my sister chose
05:35victor chose to be the ultimate winner but victor that deranged snake i wondered if she could handle
05:42him from the moment he stepped into my bridal suite damien gave me one cold glance and nothing more
05:48he sat on the wide bed and immediately shifted to his true form the massive black serpent coiled
05:53himself round and round filling the entire bed eyes closed channeling his power the black serpent
06:00sensed me approach his forked tongue flicked out with a hiss but he still wouldn't open his eyes
06:05i bent down and picked up the tip of his tail dangling over the edge of the bed stroking it
06:10gently
06:12what are you doing i rolled my eyes internally but kept my expression shy and demure as i looked up
06:18at
06:18him damien it's our wedding night so naturally we should you know damien shoved me back several steps
06:26with his tail disgusted sleep on the floor don't disturb my training i'm not like those lust crazed
06:32ordinary snakes in the family i have zero interest in that but i took one teary step forward damien
06:39immediately whipped his tail at my feet get out you married into this family so i'm your lord you do
06:46what i say i'm taking this family to the top of the world i don't have time for love with
06:53that his tail
06:54clamped around my waist and flung me outside the bridal suite door i landed hard feeling the ache
06:59where his tail had gripped me i braced against the wall and slowly stood in my previous life i'd heard
07:04my sister was also thrown out of the bridal suite quickly she'd been furious waiting outside for damien
07:10to apologize and invite her back in but damien never apologized she lingered too long and was spotted by
07:17servants passing by by the next day the entire estate knew she'd been thrown out of the bridal suite
07:22that her husband didn't want her it became a joke that circulated among the wives for ages
07:28thinking of this i sighed deeply i hadn't expected damien's aversion to women to go this far had i
07:35known i would have just lain down on the floor from the start i rubbed my waist and crept carefully
07:39back through the door damien was about to fling me out again i'm sorry i won't disturb your training
07:47again please don't throw me out seeing that i'd truly behaved damien closed his eyes and resumed
07:53meditating on the bed the next morning the first slant of sunlight fell across the room damien released
07:59a long breath and shifted to human form on the bed seeing i'd actually been good and made a palette
08:05on
08:05the floor he was thoroughly satisfied he changed his clothes and was about to open the door i quickly
08:11pinched the center of my palm shocking myself awake damien you need to come with me to the family dinner
08:17tonight i never attend those pointless gatherings can't you handle it yourself i looked up at him
08:24pitifully it's the first day after our wedding if you don't appear with me people will talk
08:31who cares if that happens people will talk about you even at business functions
08:37i know you value efficiency above all else come with me tonight
08:43and you'll never have to deal with this again two hours of keeping up appearances after that no
08:48one in the family will ever lecture you about your marriage isn't that worth it damien seemed
08:53to recall some unpleasant memory his handsome face darkened several shades but he finally nodded
09:00once he left i collapsed onto the big bed relaxed in my previous life i didn't know much about
09:07the details of sabrina's bedroom situation but whenever the wives gathered i'd always hear them
09:12say my sister had gone to grandmother many times about damien refusing to consummate the marriage
09:17every time grandmother dragged damien in for a lecture he'd disappear from home for 10 days to two weeks
09:25a serpent shifter born at the peak of power yet more desperate to play fonder than anyone else in the
09:30family
09:31he despised anything that wasted his time after a nap i tidied myself up and went to pay respects to
09:37grandmother on my way back i happened to run into sabrina and victor they walked hand in hand she was
09:44draped against his arm looking sweet and blissful pink marks peeked above her exposed collarbone when she
09:49saw me she actually tugged her collar lower flashing me a triumphant grin i was speechless in our previous
09:56life my sister had spent the whole time as a neglected wife sorrow etched deep into her features
10:01i'd never known she could be this bold and brazen victor noticed her little display and pinched her
10:07cheek affectionately his eyes soft as spring water then victor's gaze swept over me isn't your husband
10:13with you my sister-in-law i forced the corners of my mouth up damien's busy with work victor's expression
10:19shifted instantly i knew it was because i'd hit a nerve victor and damien were twins but victor was
10:25born frail his body couldn't handle much and his talent was far inferior to damien's so he'd always
10:31been deeply jealous of his brother he wanted to run the family's companies too wanted to participate in
10:37hunts himself but his body couldn't take it so he was fiercely envious of damien's healthy body i watched
10:43victor lead my sister away into the distance and sighed perhaps that twisted seed had been planted the
10:48moment victor was born by now watered by jealousy and hatred it had grown into a towering tree
10:54no one could change it at the evening dinner damien rushed in at the very last moment i didn't
10:59dare take his arm afraid he'd fling me across the room with his tail but even just following behind
11:04him shocked everyone at the gathering none of them had expected damien the busiest man alive to attend
11:10this dinner for my sake the wives chatted with me warmly their expressions noticeably more genuine
11:15than they'd been with my sister in the previous life i wore a perfect smile effortlessly engaging
11:21each wife in conversation even the few elders who tried to condescend and lecture me i deflected with
11:26ease between clinking glasses i glimpsed my sister and victor feeding each other she looked my way
11:32eyes full of schadenfreude damien was busy discussing business with the uncles and elders after that initial
11:38entrance together he barely acknowledged me but she and victor sat in a quiet corner free from elders
11:44interrogation sweetly kissing even if her status was lower than mine for now she had her husband's
11:49love i clearly saw my sister mouth silently across the room claire looks like you're destined to be a
11:56neglected wife i looked away calmly and seamlessly picked up conversation with a few aunts damien's
12:02favorite food is roasted sparrow what he's actually half awake at night because he's training he really
12:08is dedicated by the end of the conversation i'd extracted plenty of information about damien's
12:14preferences and habits from these women seeing me shyly but eagerly asking everything about damien
12:19they all assumed i was deeply hopelessly in love with him someone even reassured me that boy might
12:25be made of iron but with how devoted you are you'll melt him eventually then we'll have little snake
12:31eggs in this house the entire family dinner aside from walking in together damien and i had zero
12:38interaction but for me that was enough damien attending an ordinary family dinner for me was
12:43enough to make everyone understand i was a wife he valued damien was the eldest heir barring any surprises
12:49he'd inherit the family so i as the eldest heir's wife had plenty of people coming to curry favor
12:55sabrina caught sight of this several times gnashing her teeth each time she couldn't stand to see me
13:00doing better than her after everyone had dispersed she finally cornered me claire don't get cocky the
13:07higher you climb the harder you fall i sat silently in the pavilion drinking tea ignoring her she continued
13:14damien doesn't want women you still haven't consummated the marriage have you help i coughed lightly
13:22cutting her off right i could now confirm that in her previous life being a neglected wife had truly
13:27done something to her brain she was actually bragging about this sabrina smirked at me oh i forgot you're
13:35still a virgin hearing about this embarrasses you but look bracelet rings earrings and a whole room of
13:43clothes and bags victor picked them all out with me personally it's been almost a month and i hear damien
13:49has spent fewer than five nights in your room she covered her mouth with a light laugh satisfied to
13:55see the mortified expression on my face and left in our previous life victor had completely changed
14:00his attitude toward me exactly one month after the wedding he dragged me from heaven to hell that was
14:06the first time i'd seen him smile thinking of victor i couldn't help but shudder i let out a deep
14:11breath
14:11compared to me who'd learned to endure suffering could my sister take that kind of pain
14:16damien didn't care that there was another person sleeping in the room i was always on my floor
14:21palette anyway nowhere near disturbing his meditation on the bed but i kept gazing at him
14:26with lovesick eyes and he found it bothersome
14:32claire can you stop staring at me it's disturbing my meditation
14:36damien always spoke harshly to me thinking it would scare me off i bit my lip tears fell on command
14:43but you're barely ever home if i don't look at you when i get the chance i'll waste away from
14:48longing
14:48damien poked me with the tip of his black tail we've only been married a month why do you people
14:53obsess of love so much does the world stop spinning without it tell me what do i have to do
14:59to make
14:59you stop staring a whole string of questions he was truly fed up with my staring i hastily wiped my
15:06tears and gazed at him with adoration if you let me hold the tip of your tail every time you
15:10come back
15:11i'll stop looking damien's slit pupils widened in confusion i pressed my lips together shyly
15:17i've loved snakes and your shawl i love in
15:21unless i'm in touch new i don't know how to close my eyes and stop looking fine damien extended his
15:27tail tip toward me looking somewhat exasperated i lowered my lashes hiding the smile in my eyes
15:32now i could touch this black serpent which meant my next plan could begin damien was the family's
15:38acknowledged busiest man gone during the day only occasionally returning at night and always after
15:43dinner so i had zero access to his food but in the family's private archive an ancient text described
15:50a remedy that didn't need to be ingested applied to a serpent shifter's tail tip it could gradually
15:55deepen the shifter's affection and obsession toward the person applying it
16:00i gently held damien's cold tail tip with one hand my head bowed at the bedside scheming hollow feelings
16:06were unreliable i wasn't confident i could make a man who rejected love fall deeply for me before he
16:11decided to trade me away but i was confident i could use the remedy to cloud his mind before then
16:16maybe even make him obey me the ashworth estate had a vast apothecary garden but they didn't allow humans
16:23to enter without a shifter escort the second time i held damien's tail tip i couldn't help gazing at
16:28him as expectantly damien lashed his tail hard now what i already let you hold the tail any more trouble
16:35and i'm throwing you out his serpent pupils were cold and furious as he bared his fangs at me
16:39i carefully took hold of his tail again damien i heard the family has this enormous apothecary
16:44garden with all kinds of rare herbs could you take me to see it damien closed his eyes and scoffed
16:49no waste of my time i pressed my face against his cold tail tip softening my voice to a plea
16:55i
16:55heard you're going to the garden tomorrow for business anyway just bring me along i swear i
16:59won't slow you down please damien flicked his tail hard leaving a faint red mark on my cheek no
17:05i sighed inwardly and lay back down on my palate herbalism in my previous life i'd taught myself
17:11in secret while being tormented by victor a way to pass the time but when i dug through the family's
17:17private archive i actually found ancient texts with herbs and formulas designed to work on
17:22serpent shifters though the ashworth estate was built deep in the remote mountains i couldn't buy
17:27anything from outside on my own then victor imprisoned me i barely scraped a formula together
17:32from my healing supplies before my sister killed me if i could get into that garden ingredients would be
17:38no problem the next morning damien left before me but when he saw me already sitting in his car
17:44his expression went blank for a rare instant claire get out i'm busy i don't have time to play with
17:49you i grabbed his hand before he could push me out kick me out now and i'll make a scene
17:55that'll
17:55waste even more of your time i'm already here just bring me along i won't bother you once we're there
17:59i said it all in one breath not even daring to pause damien glanced at his watch frowned and agreed
18:04to let me come as the eldest heir's wife even without a shifter escort i easily obtained every ingredient i
18:11wanted from the garden thinking about how it had taken me three years just to gather these herbs i
18:16couldn't help but grin right then damien finished his meeting and headed for the car i sprinted toward
18:22him damien stumbled back a step when i crashed into him if you don't hurry up you're walking home my
18:28smile vanished instantly at this distance that'd take me a full day and night on the ride home damien's
18:34face contorted from the smell of the cloth bundle in my arms he pinched his nose what kind of herbs
18:42are these they reek i beamed at him with a love struck expression they're for beauty baths you don't
18:48like me because i'm not pretty enough right once i'm prettier will you love me then damien flipped
18:54through company documents with one hand and rolled his eyes crazy woman no matter how beautiful you get
19:00i'll never love you and if you end up smelling like these herbs move your bedrock to the next room
19:06following the old method i brewed the remedy and soaked both hands in the warm tonic for half an hour
19:11a faint herbal fragrance clung to my fingertips actually smelled quite nice that night i held damien's
19:18tail tip again the big black serpent was coiled on the bed almost as tall as me standing up but
19:23his tail
19:24tip was thin and pointed my hand fit around it perfectly why are your palms so hot today probably
19:36from digging up herbs with a trowel earlier the friction made them warmer than usual damien tried
19:42to pull his tail back i quickly grabbed it with both hands no it hasn't been long enough yet damien
19:49flicked
19:50his whole tongue missing a warning let go the second time's up you're cutting into my training
19:55i nodded with a sad expression but inside i thought the tail feels warm the remedy is probably already
20:02seeking in two more sessions like this and this iron-hearted snake would slowly start turning his
20:07attention toward me morning i went to grandmother's quarters for breakfast she was cradling her pet hamster
20:13showing it off to all us wives pip is so brave not afraid of snakes at all he'll actually climb
20:22right
20:22up onto me grandmother beamed lavishly praising pip's courage how he could overcome his natural prey
20:28instincts to cuddle up to her then she glanced at me and sabrina though playing with a hamster can't
20:35compare to having adorable little snakelings damien and victor are the oldest grandsons they're not getting
20:42any younger when are you two going to give them children i covered my face in mock shyness don't
20:48worry grandmother damien and i will work harder sabrina said nothing she stared blankly into empty
20:55space face pale lips cracked and dry today she wore a turtleneck and long pants covered from neck to ankle
21:02completely unlike her usual style i glanced at her by my calculations victor should have torn off his mask
21:08and pretense in front of her the locked room the suffocation the whipping that was only the beginning
21:14my sister was nudged several times by the wife next to her before she finally snapped back she caught my
21:19eye just as the smile hadn't fully faded from my face she glared at me with hatred like she wanted
21:25to
21:25bore a hole right through me outside grandmother's quarters she grabbed my arm and hissed what were you
21:31laughing at you you must have seen wrong sister i wasn't laughing at you it's just that when
21:38grandmother mentioned having children i started thinking about how cute a baby would be and i got
21:44a little happy children she punched her already pale face went completely white i feigned innocence
21:53sister aren't you and victor so deeply in love your baby will probably come before ours
22:01i'm so jealous my sister shoved me hard to the ground and walked away like a woman in a trance
22:08proud arrogant sabrina being degraded like that by victor must cut even deeper than it had cut me
22:14that feeling of utter loss of dignity of being enslaved to your own body's responses
22:21every time i thought about it my chest tightened and my forehead broke out in cold sweat
22:28victor a naturally frail serpent shifter his body too weak to sustain prolonged intimacy yet he was
22:34utterly obsessed with stitching up the face contort under the grip of forced desire his physical
22:39imperfection had twisted his mind into something monstrous add his jealousy of damien and victor
22:45had made himself into a lunatic one who fed on others suffering another half month passed grandmother's
22:51beloved hamster pip vanished one evening the entire estate was searched top to bottom they finally found
22:58pip's body in the garden outside my quarters thinking back to my sister's unexpected visit that afternoon
23:03i understood instantly grandmother struck me with her cane trying to make me kneel and apologize to her
23:09dead pet i clenched my jaw my stubborn gaze fixed straight on grandmother
23:17grandmother it wasn't me pip was brought to my garden by my sister grandmother went to strike my
23:22sister sabrina flinched away trembling grandmother how can you believe claire's lies i never even saw pip
23:29victor was right there his narrow eyes flashed with amusement in that instant i knew exactly who had
23:35killed pip it was victor he loved finding pleasure in other people's pain in the end both my sister and
23:40i were punished grandmother locked us in a dim room with only a single lamp inside where several glass
23:46terrariums filled with live snakes my sister's expression relaxed mine didn't my whole body trembled
23:52uncontrollably claire if you're this afraid of snakes why did you even marry into the ashworth family she
24:00looked at me with mocking contempt i forced my breathing to slow trying to control my racing heart
24:05someday you might be even more afraid of snakes than i am the room was stuck no ventilation
24:12in the dim lamp light i saw the marks on her skin bite marks with welts burns and thin lines
24:18from a
24:18razor blade still faintly oozing blood my silent stare made her crack
24:25what are you looking at it's just bedroom fun between husband and wife you wouldn't understand
24:30i forced a stiff smile clearly unconvinced to prove her husband was better than mine my sister launched
24:36into a rambling speech about all the nice things victor did for her i thought these two snakes are
24:41equally terrible what is there to argue about finally she lifted her chin with that superior look sis
24:46i may not outrank you in the family right now but one day i will the sound of a key
24:53turning in the
24:54lock are you all right victor's gentle voice drifted in from outside i clearly saw my sister's body
25:00tremble involuntarily but the moment she caught my eye she forced herself to relax flashing me a haughty smile
25:07looks like i get to leave before you damien didn't come for me memories from my previous life kept
25:13surfacing i was drenched in my own cold sweat telling myself over and over those days would never
25:19come again at dawn the door finally opened i was free back in the room i shared with damien
25:26i watched him shift smoothly from his black serpent form to human he dressed calmly in his suit for the
25:32day he didn't ask where i'd been all night didn't wonder why i was soaked in sweat he was in
25:37a rush to
25:37leave couldn't even spare a glance in my direction without considering it a waste of time but i'd already
25:43applied the remedy to his tail tip three times i asked i haven't had cake from outside in so long
25:50could you bring me one on your way home
25:55damien was about to frown and refuse but something misfired in his brain and he actually nodded
26:00that evening after resting the entire day i finally ate sweet creamy cake savoring the soft sponge i smiled
26:07with satisfaction my plan could finally pick up speed three years passed in the blink of an eye
26:14using the wooden charm bracelet paired with the herbal tonic i gradually took control of damien's
26:19heart now he considered my feelings cared about my moves indistinguishable from genuinely falling in
26:25love with me everyone could see my devotion and efforts so while they found it incredible they all
26:31thought it was reasonable that damien had slowly fallen for me through our daily life together
26:36but sabrina's life was far less pleasant her body grew weaker at family dinners the exhaustion on her
26:42face couldn't be hidden even under makeup victor was the same as three years ago doting and affectionate
26:47in front of everyone but the moment he touched her she would shudder involuntarily the ashworth clan
26:52leader died just as he had in the previous life an accident during the annual hunt gala hosted
26:58jordan by the ten great shifter houses damien and victor dueled according to ancient plan law
27:03damien defeated him literally and became a new plan leader victor left the arena calmly dragging my
27:08sister along with him she struggled but his face was dark he clamped her wrists and hauled her away by
27:13force after that victor dropped all pretense some nights my sister's screams echoed from his quarters
27:19until dawn damien held me in his half-shifted form my body cradled on his coiled tail he nuzzled into
27:25my neck breathing deeply claire your scent keeps getting stronger i want to take you to work with
27:30me every day yes though i changed his feelings toward me i still couldn't change the fundamental
27:35fact that he was a workaholic i laughed and pushed his head away every day my stamina can't compare to
27:42yours then there's a business function tomorrow will you come with me three years following that ancient
27:47formula i'd patiently train this big black serpent step by step i slapped his tail hard it's not even dark
27:54yet what are you thinking damien rested his head on my shoulder inside the sun set so slowly i kissed
28:00his forehead as a reward did you take your remedy today this damien's lust addled brain finally clear
28:06claire if it weren't for you i'd never have known our family archive had something like this
28:11one bowl of that tomic and it's better than a whole month of closed eye meditation i was just killing
28:16time browsing the archive didn't expect to find it i'm glad it buried my face in his chest seemingly shy
28:23from his praise actually i was laughing damien would never know the side effects of that remedy
28:27trading lifespan for power the next day i dressed up and followed damien down the mountain to the gala
28:34at the gala the arrogant people shifters just like in the previous life demanded the beauty of
28:40damien's side one benefit after another was offered all things damien desperately needed right now i felt the
28:47fingers around my waist tight and slightly never mind just as damien was about to agree i subtly raised
28:52my hand the fragrance from the wooden beads entered his nose i turned my head and watched his lips change
28:58shape he said never mind on the way back i pondered whether i should increase the dosage of both remedies
29:03i'd expected him to flatly refuse to me instead he hesitated the dosage wasn't enough his devotion to
29:10family interest was far beyond what i'd imagined that evening sabrina was finally released by victor
29:15and allowed to attend the family dinner seeing me appear at the dinner unharmed my sister's eyes
29:21made huge by her skeletal face went wide as saucers she stumbled to her seat touching the table for
29:27support how today you were supposed to be i gave her a faint smile and calmly accepted food from damien
29:34the clan leader as he fed me by now everyone in the family knew about damien's devotion to me
29:39they also knew victor was tormenting my sister but since neither damien nor i spoke up to stop it
29:44the rest of the family pretended not to see sabrina didn't enjoy her meal i ate until i was stuck
29:50actually my sister and victor were quite the match the way victor looked at damien was almost identical
29:56to the way my sister looked at me before victor dragged her away she pointed at me with her stick
30:01claire don't think you've easing broha it's not over the final winner hasn't decided
30:06i shrugged at her unbothered hope away keep hoping having that little bit of hope would help my dear
30:13sister endure victor's hands a while longer another year passed a violent thunderstorm struck lightning
30:21and thunder the estate on the mountainside was hidden the ashbury compound was enormous yet only victor's
30:27wings split in half by lightning and the only one struck was victor himself victor didn't die same as the
30:33previously the bolt that entered his body tempered his physique and triggered his second awakening
30:46in the pouring rain my sister didn't go to help victor instead she turned to me as i came running
30:53at the commotion and smiled in triumph damien held an umbrella over me confused the lightning hit victor
31:00why is your sister the one acting insane who knows the rain's too heavy today guess we can't do the
31:04physical training you scheduled for me i thought for a moment let's move it indoors damien and victor
31:12had never gotten along so damien didn't bother checking on victor's condition he just ordered the
31:17doctors to go treat the charred snake my sister followed them without leaving victor's side casting wary glances
31:23back at us as if afraid we'd make a move against victor now but she was overthinking besides me and
31:29her
31:29everyone in the family thought it more likely that victor would simply die from the lightning strike
31:34as for secretly killing victor i'd never considered it i wanted to watch hope shatter before my sister's
31:40eyes i wanted to see victor discover that even with talent far surpassing damien's he would still lose
31:46i would help damien win the duel next year but i could wait someone else couldn't barely recovered from his
31:52awakening victor let my sister talk him into demanding an early duel when damien told me about
31:57it his expression was pure bewilderment even with a second awakening how could he possibly master his
32:04new abilities in one month if it were a year from now he might stand a chance against me but
32:09right now he
32:09is delusional
