01:38i said i choose the abbess let sienna be the commander my grandfather stared at me in shock
01:44giving up the command means giving up your marriage to hunter are you sure before i could answer the
01:50door was slammed open hunter slipped in without warning he pulled sienna straight into his arms
01:55sienna thank the gods you're alive hunter sloan's voice was hoarse he looked at her like she was a
02:01priceless relic he had nearly lost in front of my grandfather hunter dropped low tail coiled tightly

02:42grandfather cut in quinn is going to the abbess you two can set a date for the ceremony hunter froze
02:48for a moment then broke into a wide smile pulling sienna closer i can finally bond with you the tenderness
02:55in his eyes was so full it was almost overflowing i watched silently that warmth had once been mine fine
03:01it didn't matter i already had a better plan they'd see soon enough once the hall fell quiet i escorted
03:07my grandfather back to his room grandfather if i meet someone suitable on the front edges i'll marry
03:14there he was silent for a long time just stay safe he finally said that's all i ask i looked
03:20at his bent
03:21back and before i could stop it my eyes began to sting in my last life he'd kept me close
03:26after the
03:27wedding so he could look after me this time i was the one who was going to protect him
03:33i quickly completed my registration with the national guard on my way home i stopped by the
03:39coral market to buy my grandfather's favorite sweets and began planning what came next a war was about
03:45to erupt in the abyssal trench with heavy casualties i had to use my memories from my past life to
03:52change
03:52the outcome and the key to that was finding the fat shark working in the seaweed kitchen
03:56jess sheridan just as i was wondering how to locate him i ran into hunter and sienna at the open
04:02market
04:03when sienna fawned over the newest tide mirror he didn't complain once in my previous life i had begged
04:10him for weeks to come pick out a wedding dress with me every time he brushed me off saying he
04:15was busy
04:15serving the guard in the end i bought everything myself and carried it home alone yet here he was
04:22leisurely strolling through the market with sienna hunter nobles shouldn't show off but i love these
04:28veils so much what should i do hunter's expression was gentle without the slightest resistance sienna
04:35if you like them i'll buy them all i gave a bitter smile everything i had done for him before
04:41completely worthless i turned to leave but sienna spotted me she pulled hunter along a smug smile on
04:48her face quinn what are you doing here grandfather already picked the wedding date you're my sister
04:55you have to come i avoided looking at their clasped hands and kept my tone steady i still need to
05:00prepare
05:01for deployment i think if you don't come i'll burn your mother's memorial conquer my vision went dark
05:07sienna and i shared the same father but not the same mother after my mother died that conch was the
05:13only thing i had left of her sienna knew that that's why threatening it always worked i nodded just as
05:20i
05:20was about to leave she called out again her gaze flicked to the pearl pendant at my neck she smiled
05:25sweetly hunter doesn't quite have enough for the moon prism why not use your little pendant as collateral
05:31my face went cold my voice hoarse if you can't afford it don't buy it this pendant is old it's
05:38worthless hunter spoke up sienna we can use a shell harp instead same effect so hunter wasn't completely
05:46without feeling toward me he knew exactly what that pendant meant to me quinn are you upset because
05:54hunter and i are close but sienna's eyes welled with tears i just wanted a gift from you to bless
05:59our bond
06:00her voice trembling you can't even give me that she turned away shoulders trembling a heartbreaking
06:06sight hunter couldn't stand to see her upset his expression turned cold instantly ordered me give it
06:12to her i refused instinctively hunter lashed out with his tail striking my ribs i crashed into the coral
06:19he ripped the pendant from my neck and shoved it into sienna's hands a cold smile curled at her lips
06:26she opened it took out my mother's photograph and crushed it into powder right in front of me
06:32i lunged forward but it was too late my mother's image flickered in the current then scattered into
06:38nothing something inside me snapped i slapped sienna hard she clutched her cheek feigning shock then began
06:46spinning lies quinn why would you give me a memorial photo as a wedding gift i know you love hunter
06:52but you can't use something like that to sabotage us a crowd gathered as whispers pointing fingers
06:58she's after her own sister's fiance disgusting what kind of mermaid curses her sister's engagement day
07:04i heard none of it i collapsed to the ground scooping up the drifting dust with trembling hands
07:10hunter stood over me looking down don't think i'll pity you quinn you know what i'm capable of
07:16i didn't answer slowly i lifted myself into the water and addressed the crowd
07:20i quinn calivan swear here and now i have no feelings for hunter solon i'm going to the abyssal
07:26from this day forward we go our separate ways
07:30i went to a healer to have my wounds treated by the time i returned home sienna was already in
07:36the dining hall grandfather wasn't there he had gone to the sloan estate to handle the marriage
07:41arrangements sienna looked up at me as if nothing had happened she looked happy as though the scene
07:47she had staged at the market an hour ago didn't exist at all i walked straight back to my room
07:52the pearl cabinet stood open a sense of dread hit me instantly the conch was gone i lost control i
07:59rushed out grabbed sienna by the collar and slammed her to the ground my vision went black i punched her
08:05once twice again i screamed my hand clamped around her throat i wanted her dead where is my memory con
08:11not burned it blood traced a thin line from the corner of sienna's mouth threw it into the seaweed furnace
08:17but her eyes gleamed with triumph your mother was such a kind woman even when she was dying she
08:24still lit fires to keep me warm rage flooded me why i've already given you everything it felt like
08:31my blood was burning what more do you want sienna shoved me off and gasped for air what i want
08:38do you want to know what i went through in my last life you deserve to suffer what i did
08:42100 times
08:43over so she had been reborn too i spat out blood and glared at her last time grandfather didn't cheat
08:49you died because of your own stupidity still talking tough huh sienna forced out a twisted sign before i
08:56could react she yanked me closer and struck me hard across the face before i could pull back a kick
09:04slammed
09:04into my spine i crashed onto the reef a heavy stool came down on my head blood ran down my
09:10face hunter's
09:11eyes were bloodshot as he loomed over me cursing i couldn't hear a word he pulled sienna into his arms
09:17his hands trembling as he checked her injuries then he slammed a shell bowl onto the table pressed
09:23its jagged edge against my throat the dizziness faded at last i could hear him quinn don't fool yourself
09:29into thinking i still love you touch sienna again and i wouldn't mind killing you again i lay on the
09:35floor watching them cling to each other nausea churned in my stomach i crawled toward the furnace
09:40the seaweed flames had already gone cold hunter dragged sienna over and stomped hard on my already
09:46broke did i say you could leave apologize to sienna now the pain was unbearable i lifted my head
09:54looking at hunter's twisted face i muttered the bandage on my head was soaked through my
10:00he didn't hear me he just kept demanding that i apologize i gave up i collapsed darkness swallowed
10:07everything eventually hunter lost interest he left me in the ashes and swam away with sienna
10:12when i woke grandfather still hadn't returned i did everything i could to bandage myself then dragged my
10:19battered body into the current rushing toward the abyssal trench time was running out i had to find
10:25jess sheridan the current carried me to the trench outpost and then i blacked out again when i came
10:31around an ugly overweight shark man was sitting beside me my heart pounded as i called his name
10:36jess sharon the shark flinched its dark eyes fixed on me warily who are you how do you know my
10:43name
10:43catching my breath i told him about the coming war describing it as visions from a dream in my last
10:50life i had learned from sienna that he was the son of the sea god an accident had drained him
10:55of his
10:55power and sealed him inside the body of a shark man to keep him safe the sea god had arranged
11:01for him
11:02to blend in among the frontline kitchen crew while a solution was sought nobody here knew his true identity
11:08behind his back they called him fat finn or just the pudgy one right now the most important thing
11:14was to earn his trust and get him to take me to the true god of the sea will you
11:19marry me the moment
11:20the words left my mouth jess narrowed his eyes the next second he turned to call for the guards panicking
11:26i grabbed him and fell off the bed my wound split open but i didn't care my name is quinn
11:31calloway
11:33my mother was an ocean witch i know a way to restore your true form jess studied me with suspicion
11:38and put me through question after question until he was satisfied i wasn't an enemy agent i'll need
11:44to think about it a few days later sienna and hunter's wedding took place hunter sat in the room
11:50distracted constantly asking who had arrived after the guests had left he went to find grandfather
11:55trying to keep himself composed lord calloway where is quinn today is her sister's engagement
12:01ceremony why didn't she come grandfather looked around the empty hall and sighed you expect her to
12:08sit here and watch the man she loves being intimate with her own sister hunter's heart dropped he
12:14suddenly remembered that night the argument the way i had crawled toward the furnace before he could ask
12:20anything else a messenger fish rushed in waving a scroll wrapped in the current lord calloway official
12:27orders from the abyss command quinn is married hunter could hardly believe it he snatched the scroll
12:34who is married
12:39the little courier fish grinned innocent as ever why big sister quinn's there's a command seal on it and
12:46everything brother hunter what are the odds both your weddings on the very same day hunter felt his
12:53heart skip he turned the scroll over and over read that name again and again then collapsed onto the
13:00coral floor the girl who had once sworn she would never love anyone but him had turned around and
13:06bound herself to someone else he remembered that night me on the floor covered in blood dragging myself
13:12toward the seaweed furnace with a sickly look on my face and in a flash the image overlapped with one
13:17from his last life me on the ground my torn tail trailing behind me prostrating in front of him and
13:24begging she has someone she loves hunter sat there muttering to himself dazed how can she marry someone
13:30else hunter cut his own finger and sent the blood out a forbidden tracking spell but the ocean didn't
13:38answer he'd forgotten that i was the daughter of an ocean witch the forbidden tracking spell was one i'd
13:44taught him in our last life and i had long since erased my own traces and then while hunter sat
13:50there
13:50in despair he saw sienna sienna was drunk her eyes glassy she pulled him up off the floor with a
13:56soft
13:56voice what's wrong what are you doing sitting down there hunter stared at her dazed then something
14:03flickered in his eyes the next second his hand cracked across her face quinn's mother's memory
14:09conch where is it it can find quinn sienna sobered up instantly she held her cheek staring at hunter
14:18in disbelief what hunter i've never even seen that thing hunter knocked her hand away and slapped her
14:24again i'm asking you where the memory conoch is where did you hide it sienna was speechless she covered
14:30her face tears poured down why would i ever touch anything of quinn's she said this place wasn't her
14:36home anymore she must have taken it with her hunter's vision blacked out he pressed a hand to
14:41his chest she she isn't coming back suddenly he staggered to his feet didn't even go back to the
14:49bridal chamber swam straight to the sloan estate grabbed a travel pack and tore off for the tideway
14:54station sienna chased after him in a daze and threw herself in his path hunter where are you going
15:00this is our wedding day hunter wouldn't even spare her a glance move i want to see with my own
15:06eyes
15:07who quinn married a flash of resentment crossed sienna's eyes she clamped onto his tail fin and refused to
15:13let go you're still thinking about her you regret marrying hunter shook her off impatiently i don't
15:19have time for this move when force didn't work sienna changed her face in a heartbeat and started packing
15:25his bag for him fine i'll go with you i was wanting to see quinn myself anyway at that hunter's
15:32face
15:32softened he let her come along but they'd barely reached the entrance to the tideway station when a
15:38squad in silver scale armor stopped them at the head of the squad was hunter's father general sloan
15:43himself the general's quiet authority made sienna shrink her tail back and even hunter didn't dare open
15:49his mouth go home i won't say it twice hunter didn't dare defy his father he and sienna had to
15:56slink back home frustrated soon after the front in the abyssal trench grew so unstable that they couldn't
16:02have gone even if they tried meanwhile jace and i were spending busy but fulfilling days down in the
16:08abyss in the beginning marrying jace really had been a partnership and nothing more it was the fastest way
16:15i could think of to earn the sea god's trust that war in my last life had killed half of
16:20our kind down
16:21here i had to save them marriage of convenience or not jace still gave me a grand ceremony after we
16:27wed
16:27i told the sea god every detail i remembered about the coming war he was skeptical at first but i
16:33correctly
16:34predicted several events in a row and eventually he chose to believe me in the end we won decisively
16:40after that battle i was made the italian commander of the northwest forces the sea god set up a coral
16:45cottage just for the two of us so jace and i could look after each other i took the risk
16:50of going down
16:51into a deep sea volcano to find a fairy herb that blooms only once every hundred years and i poured
16:57power into it using my witch's soul pearl day after day of treatment his shark seal broke and his sea
17:04god's power slowly returned i had never seen a more perfect male merman in my life that kind of
17:09sea witchcraft tears at the body especially hard and i took the backlash from treating jace i needed
17:15a full month of recovery to come back to myself through all of it jace stayed by my side day
17:21after
17:21day jace was careful and gentle the sea greens chowder he made tasted like nothing else i only
17:27learned later that he had been secretly feeding me a sacred elixir one meant only for the sea god
17:33under his care i grew stronger and my battlefield records kept getting better when we first married
17:39people at the front called us the beggar and the fat pig but no one laughed at us anymore now
17:45they all
17:45said we were meant for each other the nickname for jace had gone from fat shark to big bro i
17:51was still
17:51not entirely thrilled with that one but jace just laughed don't worry about them in my eyes you're a
17:57goddess quiet days like that went on for half a year until i happened to see hunter and sienna outside
18:02the outpost i just picked up medicine from the healer when i ran straight into the two of them
18:08prowling around outside the outpost our eyes locked hunter sprinted toward me at once he didn't spare a
18:15thought for the sienna right beside him he just pulled me into his arms quinn i knew you weren't married
18:21you still care about me sienna's face went dark in an instant hunter didn't notice a thing i stepped
18:28back quickly putting space between us sorry my husband is at home waiting i need to go hunter's
18:35body locked up he stared at me blank just then a few of my comrades swam past they spotted me
18:41and grinned
18:41throwing me casual salutes commander quinn who are these two big bro wasn't feeling well today so he
18:47wasn't in the kitchen i am dying for that sea greens chowder of his the moment sienna heard big bro
18:54she clapped a hand over her mouth like she'd seen a ghost sis your husband isn't the that fat shark
19:00from
19:01the seaweed kitchen is you i frowned watch how you speak he is not a fat shark sienna scoffed her
19:08eyes
19:08dripping with contempt quinn everyone knows there's a fat shark in the seaweed kitchen grinning like an idiot
19:14all day came out of nowhere some country nobody sure it stings that you didn't get to marry hunter
19:19but is it really worth degrading yourself like this my expression hardened the comrades who'd been
19:25passing by stopped walking they didn't look pleased and who exactly are you two how do you even know big
19:30bro these two are newlyweds they're happy together don't you think you're going a little too far
19:36watching everyone take my side sienna ground her teeth in fury hunter stepped forward his voice
19:41catching you really did marry someone else you're really not coming home i looked at his wounded
19:47little face and felt nothing at all hunter my parents are gone this is my home now you're the
19:52one who said you only ever loved sienna so what are you doing here last life in this life both
19:57he never
19:58knew what he actually wanted hunter clamped down on my arm and wouldn't let go just as we were locked
20:03in that standoff a comrade swam up supporting jace who was burning with fever when jace saw me hemmed in
20:10like that he tensed up at once and pushed his way over the jace of today had long since shed
20:15the
20:15bloated body the seal had given him he stood tall and lean sharp featured with a brilliantly shimmering
20:21tail i touched his still hot forehead my chest aching with worry you're sick and you're out wandering
20:27around sienna rushed up and stared at the tall broad-shouldered sharply chiseled jace so shocked
20:34she could barely speak who are you where's the fat shark jace fixed her with a wary stare and who
20:41are
20:41you you forced your way into the outpost you're crowding the battalion commander i am well within
20:45my rights to treat you as a spy sienna seemed to crack right there screaming in disbelief you're the
20:51battalion commander how are you the commander you should have been caught by the abyss demons torn apart
20:58broken how can you possibly be the commander everyone stared as sienna came apart her ranting
21:04growing more deranged their faces darkened hunter looked at jace standing beside me and turned green
21:10with jealousy quinn you my husband is sick you'll have to excuse us jenny could you deal with these
21:18two for me i'm taking jay home with that i took jace's hand and turned for home hunter tried to
21:23follow
21:24but the others closed in around them with practiced ease armed and ready mindful of his father hunter
21:30didn't dare push it back home i brewed up jace's medicine and fed it to him a careful spoonful at
21:35a
21:35time he blinked at me sneaking glances testing the words out before he spoke those two who came today
21:41are they relatives of yours my hand stilled i nodded yes my sister and her husband probably came up from
21:48back home jace hesitated but you said you didn't have any family i was quiet for a long moment
21:53those terrible scenes from my last life crowding back in i didn't know how to explain jace saw my
21:59mood drop just pulled me gently into his arms and told me it was all right i tilted my chin
22:04up and
22:05kissed the corner of his mouth thank god i have you right then a commotion broke out beyond the door
22:10i tucked him in and swam out to look the guards had let sienna and hunter into the courtyard
22:15both of them were looking at me with that smug tilt of the chin
22:20commander officer sienna says she'd like to see you it was only then that title registered sienna was in
22:26the royal tide guard now too hunter glanced toward the window then took up that won't be questioned
22:32tone again quinn you can't be eating well or sleeping hell in the abyss come home with me what good
22:38can a
22:39quarter man man from the seaweed kitchen possibly do for your career i'll talk to my father get you
22:44transferred back you'll live with us i looked at him in disbelief the whole thing was absurd
22:49i turned to walk away and sienna sidled up and gripped my wrist whispering against my ear mom's
22:56memory conch don't want it back anymore my gaze sharpened i turned my head and stared her down
23:02you said last time you'd burned it you were lying sienna straightened up and pitched her voice back to
23:08normal when you've made up your mind come to the black coral forest i'll be waiting whenever you're
23:13ready to come home sis she took hunter's arm to leave hunter cast a complicated look at me
23:18but in the end he followed sienna out i stood rooted there my thoughts running in a thousand directions
23:25i glanced back in at jace fast asleep dropped a soft kiss on his forehead and turned in the direction
23:31of
23:31the black coral forest the whole way there the water was empty hardly a soul in sight
23:37i gripped the trident jace had forged specially for me pushing forward by the moonlight filtering
23:42down through the surface every nerve tight i reached the mouth of the black coral forest still no one in
23:48sight just as i was about to turn back something heavy slammed into my tail fin my body twisted on
23:55instinct to dodge and i tumbled down into a wide coral pit i looked up and there was sienna that
24:01eerie smile
24:02on her face and the water blade spear she had leveled at me i made myself sound calm what do
24:08you
24:08think you're doing killing a fellow officer this close to command do you understand what they'll do
24:13to you sienna stared down at me the jealousy and disgust in her voice impossible to hide you should have
24:20been dead in the first place why is it that even with a second life everything still comes easy for
24:26you
24:26hunter is still thinking about you what is so special about you all i need is for you to die
24:32and everything is mine she swung the spear and the currents around her twisted hard fish scattered
24:39the water churned at the reefs and pulled itself into a blade that lanced toward me
24:46i twisted aside and stared at her in shock are you out of your mind doing this could pull the
24:52enemy
24:52right down on us i could see clearly now sienna's hatred for me had reached its peak the most
24:59important thing for me to do right now was get my mother's memory conch back i'll ask one more time
25:05where is the conca sienna laughed coldly and crouched down so she could look at me from above
25:12you actually believed that the conch was burned that very day oh and by the way i should mention
25:20grandpa hasn't been doing too well while you've been away hearing about grandpa made me see red this
25:26life i've given you everything you wanted why would you go and hurt grandpa sienna's face turned dark in
25:33an instant her eyes burning not enough you know what i was thinking right as i died last time if
25:40i can't be
25:41happy none of you get to be happy either so i used my last breath to write a forged letter
25:46to hunter
25:47i told him you and grandpa had been pulling strings together just to get the sloan and family to hand
25:54you a rank i told him the reason hunter's grandfather died expectedly was that you switched out his
26:01medicine sienna you've lost your mind is there one word of truth in your mouth sienna laughed almost
26:08manically so what if there isn't so what if i did it i was jealous i was jealous of you
26:16why should
26:17every single person love you and worry about you in any case hunter has always believed every word out
26:25of my mouth i listened to her rave my heart aching for the grandpa of my last life and pulled
26:31in a deep
26:31breath you think grandpa didn't know it was you you think general sloan couldn't have tracked you down
26:37if he'd wanted to grandpa specifically sent you to the abyss as a scout so the sloanes wouldn't be able
26:46to reach you and this is how you repay him you have no idea how much my father and grandpa
26:52left behind
26:53just to keep you alive you know nothing you haven't come home a single time to ask sienna listened slowly
27:01going still i was panting do you have any idea where hunter dragged grandpa in my last life to torture
27:09him how dare you she wrapped her arms around her head and shook it desperately but it didn't last
27:15she slid right back into that sneering look her eyes full of murder i don't care i never imagined jace
27:23would turn out so good looking this time around once you're dead i'll divorce hunter and marry him
27:30her water pistol leveled at the center of my forehead i raised my trident too our eyes locked sienna
27:37we're sisters does it really have to come to this she laughed wild and loud sisters fine
27:45then surely big sister wouldn't mind paving the way for her little sister the moment she said it
27:52the currents twisted again i shut my eyes tight but in the end i couldn't bring myself to strike her
