Short filmTranscript
00:00On the day of our sacred bond ceremony, my original intended, Raphael, stood before the altar in the Hall of
00:08Hymns and announced, in front of every angel in heaven, he had already sealed an angelic bond with Camilla, another
00:16angel from my own home. The white gold halo ring in my hand had not even reached my finger before
00:22the Book of Heaven. Judgment opened in front of me.
00:25Aileen, the sacred bond ceremony has failed. The fate binding has collapsed. Under the laws of heaven, your name will
00:36be erased from the heavenly archives.
00:39Holy fire poured down from the dome of the Hall of Hymns. I did not even have time to ask
00:45Raphael why he had betrayed me. The judgment circle beneath my feet was already blown.
00:53Raphael, why?
00:56Raphael avoided my arms.
00:58The bond has already been sealed. There is nothing left to explain.
01:03White gold flames wrapped around the form of my band, ready to burn my name, my identity, and every record
01:10of my soul out of cover me.
01:12It was Frederick who rushed out of the trial and shoved me out of the judgment circle.
01:22Aileen, get out!
01:23The holy fire swallowed his wings. He saved me. From that day on, he lost the ability to fly.
01:33Every angel knew that losing one's wings was almost the same as losing one's honor.
01:38Later, heaven allowed me to choose a new sacred bond partner. I agreed to bind myself to Frederick. I believed
01:46the man who had broken his wings for me was the last mercy. Heaven had left me, but in the
01:52third year after our sacred bond was sealed, I learned the truth.
01:56That day, I had just returned from the forbidden border of heaven to find Frederick a potion that could regrow
02:03his wings.
02:04I had broken into the forbidden zone and nearly had half my arm torn apart by fallen angels.
02:10Clutching the small glass bottle of wing restoration potion, I reached the door of the healing hall room and heard
02:17someone inside ask him.
02:19Frederick, Camilla already has a pair of heaven-born ears. Your wings recovered long ago.
02:26Are you still not going to tell Aileen?
02:28The room went silent for a moment. Then I heard Frederick's familiar, cold voice.
02:35I can't. Aileen is still a risk.
02:39As long as she still felt guilty towards me, she would pour all her energy into seeking a magical potion
02:45for my sake, leaving Camilla's happiness undisturbed.
02:49I looked down at the wound on my arm, so the fallen angels who had appeared near the forbidden entrance
02:55to steal.
02:55The glass bottle had also been arranged by him.
03:00The door opened. Frederick walked out in his cloak, still pretending he could not fly.
03:06But the moment he smelled blood on me, his face changed.
03:12Aileen, you're hurt?
03:13He took my hand, panic flashing across his face as if he truly cared.
03:19Once, I would have believed him. Now, I only felt sick.
03:24It's nothing. I was just careless.
03:28Before I could finish, days of exhaustion drained the last of my strength. Everything went black.
03:35When I woke up, I was lying in his room. My arm had been wrapped in healing white gauze.
03:41But Frederick was gone. I looked for the holy feather note that had fallen near the edge of the table.
03:47But my gaze landed on the black record book on his desk.
03:51I opened the first page. Every word was in his handwriting.
03:56Camilla likes tart golden apples.
03:58After her blessing sessions, walk with her through the white-wing corridor.
04:03Pregnancy blessings on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
04:05Walk with her in the cordivine light on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
04:11After she gives birth to the heaven-born heirs, her blessing will be unstable.
04:16The bottle of wing restoration potion must be given to her first.
04:19Page after page, it was all CMLA.
04:22My tears fell onto the record book, shattering the last of my attachment to him.
04:29A second sacred bond failure has been detected. Do you choose to leave?
04:34Yes. In three days, carry out the erase judgment.
04:38Remove the name Eileen from the heavenly archives.
04:42After gathering myself, I walked out of the room and heard to healing angels whispering at the end of the
04:48corridor.
04:49Frederick treats Camilla so well, he stayed with her through every blessing while she was carrying the heirs.
04:55On the day they were born, he waited outside the healing hall until dawn.
05:00I heard he was so happy when the twin heaven-born heirs arrived that he forgot to keep his cloak
05:05on.
05:05Someone almost saw that his wings had grown back.
05:08I stopped at the door of the healing hall, through the gap.
05:12I saw Frederick carefully holding one of the heirs.
05:15The child had a pair of soft little wings on his back.
05:19Pale light shimmering along the tips, Frederick looked at him with so much tenderness it nearly spilled out of his
05:25eyes.
05:26And I, because of the holy fire judgment five years ago, had been burned so badly that I had lost
05:33the ability to carry heaven-born heirs at all.
05:36Camilla leaned against the healing bed and smiled sweetly.
05:40I feel much better after using the potion you brought.
05:43But Eileen worked so hard to find that bottle. Will she be angry?
05:48No.
05:49If it helped you, then her effort wasn't wasted.
05:52The empty glass vials shattered through my grip.
05:56All eyes in the room turned toward me.
05:59I turned to leave.
06:01Frederick followed me out.
06:03His steps were quick too quick for an angel who supposedly could no longer fly to higher places.
06:08Then he realized it himself.
06:11He immediately slowed down and pulled his cloak tighter around his shoulders.
06:22I stared at the faint shape of wings beneath his cloak and almost laughed.
06:27His wings had already recovered, yet he still insisted on playing the broken-winged savior in front of me.
06:34I'm not unreasonable.
06:37Go take care of her.
07:03Go take care of her.
07:23I'm not going to be seeing him.
07:28I love you.
07:33her. I stood under their stairs and finally understood, Frederick had kept me here so I
07:40would always feel lower than Camilla. After Frederick was pulled away to greet the other
07:46angels, I made an excuse and went to the white wing corridor for air. Camilla followed me almost
07:53immediately. A white gold cross pendant rested against her throat. It had been kept by the
07:59Hall of Hymns, and it had originally belonged to the former hymn angel who raised me.
08:05Aileen, are you heartbroken? She smiled as she touched the pendant. The blessing seat in the
08:13Hall of Hymns is mine now. The Hall of Judgment protects me too. Your original sacred bond partner
08:21and your current one both love me. She stepped closer, lowering her voice.
08:31Oh, and the idea of making Frederick pretend to be wingless so he could pursue you. That
08:39was mine too. My whole body went stiff the year I came of age. The former hymn angel who raised
08:45me left heaven, and Camilla was brought back to the Hall of Hymns. From then on, the attendants
08:52kept saying they owed Camilla for all the years she had been left to fend for herself. Everything
08:57had to be given to her. The blessing seat in the Hall of Hymns. My sacred bond. And now
09:04even the salvation I had believed in, all of it was just another trap she had designed.
09:09Aileen, after all these years you're still useless. You couldn't protect the angel who raised you.
09:18You couldn't even protect your own sacred bond partner. Anger surged up. I lifted my hand to slap her.
09:30But Camilla suddenly grabbed my wrist and gave me a strange smile. The next second, she screamed.
09:38Aileen, don't push me. She dragged my hand and threw herself backward.
09:44Frederick rushed over from the other side of the banquet hall.
09:51In that moment, he forgot to keep pretending. The wind tore his cloak open. A pair of fully recovered
09:58white wings unfurled behind him. He swept over the pool of penance and caught Camilla steadily in his
10:04arms. And the force of his body knocking past me sent me straight into the pool of penance.
10:10It was not ordinary water. It was the pool the Hall of Judgment used to punish fallen or unworthy angels.
10:17The moment the water touched my wings, it sealed my divine power. I couldn't even lift my wings.
10:25Frederick.
10:27My voice was swallowed by the water.
10:31I sank into the freezing, burning pool, struggling desperately. The angels on the bank gasped and
10:38backed away. Not one of them came to save me.
10:41Pull her out! The pool will seal her power completely!
10:45By the time the heavenly guards dragged me out, I was almost unconscious. Camilla nestled in
10:51Frederick's arms, crying delicately.
10:58Frederick, don't blame her.
11:00She only hates me because I once took her sacred bond.
11:04Frederick's face darkened. Then he turned and saw me soaked through.
11:09Staring at him coldly, only then did he realize what he had done.
11:13He draped his outer robe over me. After the crowd scattered, he said in a low voice,
11:20Even if you're jealous of her, you shouldn't have tried to hurt her.
11:23She just gave birth to the heirs. If anything had happened to her...
11:27I held back the pain in my chest and laughed.
11:34At Frederick.
11:35I looked at the wings still spread behind him.
11:41When did your wings grow back?
11:46Why didn't you tell me?
11:49His face froze.
11:52I...
11:53For one moment, he looked as if he wanted to reach for me.
11:57But from the distance, the female attendant of the Hall of Judgment suddenly shouted,
12:04Camilla looks like she's fainting!
12:06Frederick's hand froze halfway toward me. The next second, he turned and flew to Camilla.
12:13So this is the man I gave three years of my life to.
12:18After the blessing banquet at the Hall of Judgment was cancelled, I dragged my exhausted body back to
12:25the side chamber of the Hall of Judgment. I pulled out everything Frederick had ever given me, piece by
12:31piece. There was the Holy Seal wooden box he had carved by hand. There were the images of the sunrise
12:38at
12:38the cloud's fire, where he had once taken me with his ruined wings. There were all the vows he had
12:44written for me.
12:45In every image, he looked at me with such devotion. I used to think that was love.
12:51Now I realized he had only been looking at the part of me that resembled Camilla. I threw those old
12:57things into the Holy Fire one by one and watched them turn to ash along with them. I burned away
13:03my
13:04love for Frederick. By dawn, he still had not returned. He only sent an attendant with a warming
13:10potion to keep the cold of the pool of penance from sinking into my bones. Something came up at the
13:17healing hall. Frederick can't leave right now. He's still worried about you. He was afraid the pool of
13:27penance might have damaged your wings and divine power. I drank the bitter potion, then pushed the box
13:34on the table toward her. This is a gift for Frederick. Please give it to him. Inside the box was
13:47the sacred bond dissolution agreement I had already signed. An hour later, Frederick sent me a holy
13:56feather note. Apologize to Camilla later for what happened last night. She just gave birth to the heirs.
14:03Then another holy feather note fell, carrying the location of the holy banquet hall. My wings officially
14:10recovered today. I owe you for all that you've given me these years. Tonight, let's celebrate properly.
14:19I looked at the golden words floating over the holy feather note and almost admired him.
14:24His act had already been exposed, yet he could still keep playing the devoted partner without shame.
14:31I took another copy of the dissolution agreement and went to the banquet hall.
14:36I waited from noon until dusk. He never came. All I received was an image record from Siemela.
14:43In the image, Frederick was gently soothing a heaven-born heir to sleep. The tiny wings of the
14:49twin heirs rested against his arm, and the fatherly tenderness in his eyes was almost impossible to hide.
14:56Mila's holy feather note landed in front of me again.
14:59No need to thank me, Eileen. I've trained Frederick very well. He's great at soothing the heirs now.
15:07So this is the celebration he promised me.
15:12A while later, Camilla had an attendant deliver a transfer agreement for Frederick's treasured possessions.
15:19I almost forgot, you can't bear heaven-born heirs. Frederick has already made a contract.
15:27All his treasures will go to my children.
15:29I closed the holy feather note and went to the Hall of Hymns where everything had begun five years ago.
15:36That was where Raphael and I were supposed to have held our sacred bond ceremony.
15:41At that very moment, the Hall of Judgment was holding Camilla's blessing banquet inside the Hall of Hymns.
15:48Frederick and Camilla each held a heaven-born heir as they stood before the altar.
15:53They looked like a real family of four. A judgment angel smiled at them.
15:59The heirs are blessed. Camilla truly is heaven's favored angel.
16:05Camilla lowered her head with a gentle smile.
16:07It is all because at Frederick has been caring for us.
16:12Frederick did not deny it.
16:15I stood outside the crowd and took one bite of honeyed golden apple cake.
16:19It was so sweet it tasted bitter.
16:22Five years ago I lost everything here. Today, I will leave everything here.
16:28Then I turned and left Dot step by step. I walked to the judgment steps outside the Hall of Hymns.
16:34Five years ago, that was where the Book of Heavenly Judgment had first declared me a failure.
16:42A cold voice rang in my mind.
16:45The time to leave has arrived. Do you confirm the oration?
16:49I closed my eyes.
16:51I confirm.
16:52White gold holy fire fell from between the clouds, and the judgment circle opened beneath my feet.
17:00It harmed no innocent soul. It only wrapped around my shadow, my name, and the records of my soul,
17:08erasing the identity of Eileen from the heavenly archives bit by bit.
17:12From that moment on, Eileen no longer existed in heaven. At the same time, the holy feather note
17:20Frederick had sent was shaken open by the holy fire. The sound of the flames bursting came through the
17:26note. The white feather turned to ash in his palm. Inside the banquet hall, Frederick was still holding
17:33one of Camila's heirs. What was that sound? An attendant rushed into the banquet hall of the Hall
17:40of Hymns in a panic. Frederick, something happened! Eileen is accepting the erase judgment outside the
17:47Hall of Hymnicks! The cup in Frederick's hand fell to the floor. What did you say?
17:53Frederick lost control and rushed out of the Hall of Hymns.
17:59Eileen! Eileen, where are you? Heavenly guards stopped him from getting close to the remaining holy
18:05fire. In the distance, the white gold flames had already died out, leaving only a blackened
18:12judgment circle behind. Frederick grabbed the attendant by the collar, his voice trembling.
18:18You must have seen wrong. There's no way she would really choose a ration.
18:24The attendant's face went pale. I... I didn't see wrong. Her holy seal bracelet was left in the center of
18:32the judgment circle. Frederick stumbled. Camila followed behind him, still holding her cloak closed,
18:39trying to look weak. Frederick, maybe Eileen is only trying to scare you. She has always cared about you.
18:48Frederick did not answer. He threw himself into the remains of the holy fire, just as he had done
18:55five years ago, as if burning his wings one more time would bring me back. Frederick! The fire is still
19:02dangerous! But this time, there was no trace of me in the sole residue rejected by the holy fire. The
19:09fire burned his hands, but it could not return even one shadow of Eileen to him.
19:1624 hours later, the judgment court sent back only a few of my belongings. Among them was the holy seal
19:24bracelet I had never taken off. When Frederick saw it, the last color drained from his face,
19:30even after he woke. He refused to believe I had truly left. The side chamber of the hall of judgment
19:37was empty. No one answered when he called my name. Alan! Stop hiding! Come out! No one answered.
19:47As he collapsed, he saw the box on the table when he opened it. The words Sacred Bond Dissolution
19:54agreement cut into his eyes. An attendant knocked and came in, handing him the repaired image record.
20:03This was recovered near the judgment circle. My broken voice came from inside.
20:10Frederick, I actually knew your wings had recovered long ago. But still, congratulations. And thank you for
20:19rushing into the judgment circle five years ago to save me. But this bond, woven from lies and forcing
20:27me to live inside a false happiness, needs to end. I don't blame you for lying to me. But I
20:35will never
20:36forgive you either. Goodbye, Frederick. My words were swallowed by the roar of holy fire. Frederick slammed his fist
20:45into the wall. Eileen. Over the next week, Frederick sent holy feather notes flying all over the celestial
20:56city, searching for any sign of me. He thought everyone would be moved by his devotion. Whoever
21:03finds Aelin, bring word to the hall of judgment immediately. But soon, someone exposed image records
21:10of his intimate behavior with Camila, along with the old scandal of the stolen Sacred Bond in the Hall of
21:16Hymns. A judgment angel having an affair with his brother's Sacred Bond partner, while using his own
21:24partner as a substitute? Disgusting. So the false saintess really is false. First she stole Eileen's intended,
21:33and now she's clinging to Eileen's Sacred Bond partner. The outrage spread through the Celestial City,
21:40quickly. Quickly, the reputations of the Hall of Judgment and the Hall of Hymns collapsed one after
21:45another. A heavenly council angel stood before Camila and read the order aloud. The heavenly council will
21:53re-examine Camila's saintess status and all blessing records connected with her heirs. Camila staggered.
22:01You cannot do this to me. I just gave birth to heaven-born heirs. That does not erase false testimony
22:09or stolen blessings.
22:13Raphael, who had been stationed at Heaven's border, rushed back overnight and clashed with Frederick in the
22:20Hall of Judgment in front of everyone. You have no right to search for Eileen now.
22:26Frederick's eyes were bloodshot. And you do? You were the first one who betrayed her.
22:33Raphael's jaw tightened. I made a mistake, but you used her guilt for three years.
22:41Frederick grabbed Raphael by the collar. Say that again. Stop! This is the Hall of Judgment.
22:50Raphael, Frederick, please stop. Eileen would not want you to fight.
22:56Both men turned toward her at the same time. You don't deserve to say her name. The hall went silent.
23:03Camila's expression finally cracked. She had once enjoyed. Two men fighting for her. Now they were
23:10fighting over the woman she had tried to erase. Frederick released Raphael and turned toward the open doors.
23:20Keep searching. I want every sanctuary border post. When I heard about all of this, I had not truly
23:29disappeared. The Book of Heavenly Judgment had given me two choices. One was to continue the sacred bond
23:35task and return to those people. The other was to give up my status in the Hall of Hymns, my
23:41old name,
23:42and every blessing attached to it, and live as a free angel. Eileen, once this choice is confirmed,
23:50the old name will no longer protect you. Do you still choose freedom? I chose the second without
23:57hesitation. I choose freedom. The Heavenly Archives altered my appearance by 30% and registered me under a
24:06new identity as a free angel. From that day on, my name was Sophia, and I moved into the sanctuary
24:13of
24:13free angels. Asher was the guardian angel of the sanctuary of free angels. He was also the one who
24:20guaranteed my new identity. From now on, no one here will call you by the name you left behind,
24:25unless you allow it. Then let Eileen stay dead. From then on, Eileen had died in that heavenly judgment.
24:38Three months later, I saw Frederick again at a holy banquet. I had just left the sanctuary library and
24:45was heading back to the banquet hall when I ran into him, lost in the corridor. Hello? Do you know
24:53how to
24:53get out of here? The second he looked up and saw me, he froze. Even though my face was no
25:00longer
25:00exactly the same as before, he looked as if holy fire had nailed him in place. The next moment,
25:07he rushed toward me, his voice shaking. Eileen, it's really you. I finally found you. Before I could speak,
25:18Asher stepped out from behind me and blocked him. Frederick, you've mistaken her for someone else.
25:23Frederick clenched his hand. I would never mistake her. I was bonded to her for three years.
25:30I'd know her even if she were Ash. Asher frowned in disgust. Then you're not just blind.
25:38You're clearly not thinking straight either. Asher stood in front of me and announced to every angel
25:44present. She is not the former sacred bond partner you knew as Eileen. She is Sophia,
25:51a free angel, accepted by the sanctuary of free angels. Frederick stood there, staring hard at my
25:59back. Impossible. That's my Eileen. Running into Frederick had been an accident. I was about to let
26:08Asher take me away when Frederick blocked me again. His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was almost
26:14pleading. You're Eileen, aren't you? Are you still angry so you're pretending not to know me? I've been
26:21cinching for you every day since you disappeared. If you come to me, I will never lie to you again.
26:27Every angel at the banquet turned to look everyone knew. Frederick had been desperately searching for
26:33his sacred bond partner. Everyone knew he had almost lost control. I looked at him calmly. Frederick,
26:40I don't know you. I am not your sacred bond partner. Words like that damage my reputation,
26:48and I do not want to hear them a third time. He stared at my face, trying to find the
26:54smallest
26:55crack in my expression, but I stayed perfectly composed. Asher took one step forward.
27:02You have been warned once. Do not force the sanctuary of free angels to treat you as a threat.
27:10Frederick's voice turned hoarse. If you are not her, why do you look at me with the same hatred?
27:19Maybe because any angel would hate being harassed by a stranger.
27:24Asher was about to go on stage to speak, and I was just about to leave,
27:29when my body suddenly lifted into the air. Frederick had grabbed me and carried me by force to the end
27:35of the corridor.
27:38Let go of me!
27:40Eileen had a burn scar on her back from the holy fire five years ago.
27:45If you're not her, let me check.
27:47Frederick, his fingers reached for the clasp at the back of my gown.
27:50Before he was a fish, Asher struck him down with a blast of divine light.
27:55Frederick hit the stone floor hard.
27:58Asher draped the formal robe over my shoulders, his eyes cold as ice.
28:08Frederick, do you really think no one in the sanctuary of free animals will protect her?
28:13Heavenly guards pinned Frederick down, but he was still struggling.
28:18Why are you so afraid? Is it because she really is, Eileen? What forbidden spell did you use to make
28:24her forget me?
28:25I stopped Asher. Let him go. Asher looked at me.
28:30Sophia.
28:31If he wants proof, I'll give it to him once. After tonight, he loses every excuse.
28:39The guards released him. I removed the outer layer of my gown. The dress I wore that day
28:46happened to reveal my back. I turned slightly so every angel could see it clearly. My skin was
28:52smooth and unmarked. There was no scar. When the erasure judgment took Eileen away, it had erased
28:58every mark that belonged to her past. I smiled coldly. Do you see it now?
29:05I'm not her. Frederick stood frozen, color draining from his face.
29:11How?
29:13Asher's gaze swept over the watching angels.
29:16Everyone here has seen it. Sophia is a free angel under the protection of the sanctuary.
29:23Anyone who spreads rumors after tonight will answer to us.
29:30Understood.
29:31I put the robe back over my shoulders and turned away, behind me. Frederick repeated in a low voice,
29:38like a man who had lost his last lifeline.
29:42No. It can't be.
29:45Frederick, the angel you are looking for, accepted aeration.
29:51Asher's patience with Frederick reached its limit that night. Heavenly guards came to the holy banquet
29:57and took Frederick away for harassing and assaulting a female angel.
30:03Frederick of the Hall of Judgment, you are accused of forced restraint and attempted
30:09violation of a free angel's dignity. Frederick's eyes stayed fixed on me.
30:15Sophia, tell them. Tell them you know me.
30:22I know only what everyone saw tonight. Because Asher refused to settle the matter and there were image
30:28records as evidence. Frederick was locked in the confinement tower for several days. At the tower
30:34entrance, Asher stood in front of the guards. No private visitors. No holy feather notes to Sophia.
30:43No excuses. Frederick's voice came from behind the glowing bars.
30:48Asher, you can stop my notes. But you can't make me stop looking for her.
30:53You are not looking for her.
30:59You are trying to drag a dead woman back. Because you cannot bear the consequences
31:07of what you did. Frederick gripped the bars until divine light burned his palms. But he still did not let
31:14go.
31:19Eileen is alive. I know she is.
31:23When he came out, he still had not learned his lesson. He dressed himself properly and arrived at
31:29the sanctuary of free angels with a bouquet of white. Lily's white lilies were Camila's favorite flowers.
31:37Ronan walked me back to the sanctuary of free angels. When I saw Frederick there, I only found it ironic.
31:44Frederick spoke carefully.
31:48Sophia, I mistook you for someone else last time. I wanted to apologize properly. I meant no harm.
31:56I looked coldly at the flowers in his hand.
32:00I don't accept flowers from strangers. And I don't need your apology.
32:05Just stop showing up. His face turned pale.
32:09Then what do you like? I'll bring you whatever you want tomorrow.
32:12No need. I took Ronan's arm. I have already decided to seal a new sacred bond with Aunt Ronan.
32:20The ceremony is next week. Frederick's eyes went red with shock. Ronan looked at the white lily.
32:27You brought another woman's favorite flowers to apologize to Sophia. That tells us enough.
32:36Frederick's fingers tightened around the stems.
32:39That is exactly why Eileen is gone.
32:50For the next few days, Frederick still appeared every day. White lily. Blessed stones.
32:56Transfer agreements. Transfer agreements for his treasures. Box after box was sent to the sanctuary of free angels.
33:04Sophia. Frederick has sent another box.
33:08Return it untouched.
33:10Return it untouched. Ronan was furious enough to have him thrown out.
33:13But I simply told the attendants to send everything back.
33:17You don't have to stay calm for his sake.
33:21I'm not calm for him. I'm calm because he no longer gets to decide my mood.
33:29Outside the gate, Frederick watched the boxes being returned. His expression grew worse with everyone.
33:37She didn't even open them? Sophia said she does not accept gifts from strangers.
33:43Tell her these are not gifts. They are what I should have given her years ago.
33:48Then you should have given them years ago.
33:51The attendant closed the gate inside. Ronan handed me the final design for the new sacred bond ceremony.
33:59If you change your mind, I will respect it.
34:05I'm not choosing you to escape him. I'm choosing because I finally have the right to choose.
34:13The day before the ceremony, I had just finished trying on my gown when news came from the Garden of
34:19Rest.
34:22Sophia, something happened at the Garden of Rest.
34:25Ronan frowned.
34:27What happened?
34:29The memorial stone of the former hymn angel who raised Aelin has been destroyed.
34:34The words struck me before I could think.
34:37Take me there.
34:39Sophia, wait. This may be a trap.
34:44That memorial stone is the only thing left of the angel who raised me.
34:49I did not think it through. I went there immediately.
34:52As I stood before the memorial stone, the broken surface reflected pieces of my old name.
35:03Who did this?
35:05A strange scent suddenly drifted from behind me. My vision went black.
35:10When I woke up, I found myself in the familiar old side chamber of the Hall of Judgment.
35:16This was where Frederick and I had lived after sealing our sacred bond.
35:21He sat in front of me, his eyes full of wild joy, as if he had recovered something he had
35:27lost.
35:30Eileen, I knew my instinct was right.
35:34It really is you.
35:37I looked down at the chains around my wrists and became strangely calm.
35:44So what?
35:46Even if I am Eileen, what does it change?
35:52Our sacred bond has already been dissolved.
35:55Frederick acted as if he had not heard me.
35:58He took out the white gold halo ring I had once left in the side chamber of the Hall of
36:03Judgment and dropped to one knee.
36:05Then I'll ask you for the bond again.
36:07He looked up at me, his eyes red.
36:11Eileen.
36:15Let's seal the sacred bond again.
36:18I almost laughed at how absurd Frederick was being.
36:23You chained me here to propose a sacred bond?
36:28I was afraid you would leave before hearing me out.
36:32That fear should have taught you not to force me.
36:35Instead, it taught you to become worse.
36:38Frederick's hand trembled around the ring.
36:41I didn't understand my own heart before.
36:44I thought I loved Camilla.
36:47Only after you disappeared did I realize I had fallen in love with you long ago.
36:53Eileen.
36:55Give me one more chance.
36:58If you come back to me, I'll do anything.
37:00I shook my head.
37:02Frederick, I'm not going back.
37:07Suddenly, the sound of a holy seal unlocking came from the door.
37:11The next second, Camilla burst in.
37:14Frederick! Why didn't you answer my holy feather note?
37:18Did you find her?
37:19The heirs need a drop of blood from a close relative to stabilize their blessing!
37:25Frederick shot to his feet and covered her mouth.
37:28Shut up.
37:30How did you get access to my old side chamber in the Hall of Judgment?
37:34Get out.
37:37Camilla saw me chained beside the sacred seat and understood at once.
37:41She laughed coldly.
37:43Regretting it now?
37:45Don't forget, I was the one who helped you come up with the idea of using that memorial stone to
37:49test her.
37:50Without me, how could you have confirmed she was Eileen?
37:53At last, I understood everything.
37:56Camilla's to heaven-born heirs were suffering from blessing failure.
38:00They needed a drop of blood from a close relative to stabilize their blessing.
38:05No one from the Hall of Judgment or the Hall of Hymns was a match,
38:09so she had placed her last hope on me, so all that regret, all that devotion, had still been nothing
38:16but another scheme.
38:18So this is what you call love? Disgusting.
38:22It's not like that. I only agreed to her plan as a temporary measure.
38:26I would never let you be in danger.
38:29Camilla's smile twisted.
38:31You said the same thing when you lied to her for three years.
38:37Camilla suddenly laughed as if she had lost her mind.
38:40She pulled an obsidian dagger from her, robes and stabbed it hard into Frederick's abdomen.
38:48You liar!
38:51You promised that if I helped you find Eileen, you would grant my child blood blessing!
38:57Blood splashed onto the floor.
38:59Frederick groaned, but he still shoved her aside and came to unlock my chains first.
39:06Eileen, don't move.
39:10I'll get you out.
39:12You should stop the bleeding.
39:15Not before you're free.
39:17His fingers shook so badly that the holy lock clicked twice before opening.
39:22Camilla staggered backward, staring at his blood on her hands.
39:27You would rather bleed for her than let me take one drop of her blood for our heirs?
39:33They are not our heirs.
39:34Camilla froze.
39:36They were never mine to claim in front of Eileen.
39:39Camilla's eyes filled with hatred.
39:43After everything I gave you, you still choose her?
39:49Camilla scrambled up again and grabbed a crystal candlestick.
39:53Swinging it at me, Frederick's pupils contracted.
39:56Without hesitation, he threw himself in front of me.
40:00Eileen, watch out!
40:02The crystal candlestick struck the back of his head.
40:05Blood splattered across my face.
40:07The door to the old side chamber of the Hall of Judgment was broken open.
40:11Asher and Ronan rushed in with heavenly guards who forced Camilla into chains of divine light.
40:17Let go of me!
40:19She ruined everything!
40:21She should have disappeared!
40:22Ronan helped me up, his voice tight.
40:27Sophia, are you hurt?
40:30I shook my head.
40:33I'm fine.
40:34Healing angels stopped Frederick's bleeding.
40:37Frederick lay on the floor, trying to keep his eyes open.
40:41Violent.
40:42Asher stepped between us.
40:45Her name is Sophia.
40:48Frederick's lips moved, but no sound came out, as Asher protected me and led me out.
40:54I turned back and looked at Frederick one last time.
40:59Camilla was formally judged by the heavenly court for forging image records, conspiring and kidnapping,
41:07destroying a memorial stone, and assault.
41:10Her false sexist status was publicly stripped from her,
41:14her halo shattered, and she was banished from the celestial city forever.
41:21Camilla, from this day forward, you will no longer receive the protection of the Hall of Hymns.
41:27You are forbidden from entering the celestial tout.
41:31Camilla fell to her knees.
41:33No!
41:35I am the mother of heaven-born heirs!
41:38You cannot exile me!
41:41The heirs will be examined and protected by neutral healing angels.
41:45They will not be used as your shield.
41:47Raphael watched from the side.
41:50Camilla turned toward him in panic.
41:54Raphael! Help me!
41:56Raphael did not move.
41:58Frederick had been brought to the court under guard because of his involvement in the kidnapping.
42:03His head was bandaged, his face bloodless.
42:07Camilla looked at him next.
42:11Frederick, say something.
42:13You loved me!
42:14Frederick's voice was low.
42:17I protected the wrong person for too long.
42:20Camilla screamed as divine chains dragged her away.
42:25Because Frederick had kidnapped me, but also shielded me from that final blow.
42:30The Hall of Judgment sent him into exile at heaven's border.
42:35In exchange for a lighter ruling, he was never allowed to step into the celestial city again.
42:40Frederick looked at me.
42:42Sophia, Eileen, may I speak to you once?
42:45Say it here.
42:46I looked at Frederick calmly.
42:48Frederick swallowed.
42:50I thought saving you once meant I could keep you forever. I was wrong.
42:54You did not keep me.
42:55You trapped me in guilt.
42:57I know.
42:58Then live with that knowledge.
43:00At the border gate, his wings opened in the cold wind. They were whole now, bright and useless.
43:07I once wanted you to see my wings recover. Now I wish I had told you before they became proof
43:13of my lie.
43:13The guards led him through the gate behind him. The celestial city gates closed.
43:19And this time no one called him back.
43:23One week later, Ronan and I completed our sacred bond ceremony.
43:28The ceremony was nothing like the Hall of Hymns had been five years ago.
43:32There was no cold judgment circle. No angel waiting to compare me to Camilla.
43:37No man standing before the altar with another woman's name hidden in his heart.
43:41Asher stood as witness for the sanctuary of free angels.
43:47Sophia, do you enter this sacred bond by your own will?
43:50I looked at Ronan.
43:54Yes, by my own will.
43:57Asher turned to Ronan.
43:59Ronan, do you accept this bond with respect for Sophia's freedom not possession over her past?
44:05I do.
44:06Ronan held out the new halo ring. His hands were steady.
44:09He did not rush me. He did not touch me until I nodded.
44:12Sophia, I will not ask you to forget your past. I only ask to walk beside the person you choose
44:16to become.
44:17Then walk beside me. Not in front of me. Not over me.
44:21Ronan smiled gently.
44:24Always beside you.
44:26The halo ring settled on my finger. Warm but not heavy.
44:32That night, while sorting through the gifts. I found one last anonymous box. Inside was a transfer agreement for Frederick's
44:40treasures. Signed by him. A holy feather note landed in my palm before he was exiled. Frederick's note. I'm sorry.
44:50I wish you freedom. Ronan stood beside me without touching the note.
44:55Do you want to keep it?
44:58Do you want to keep it?
44:58I looked at the signature for a long moment. No. Asher read through the transfer agreement and confirmed it was
45:07real.
45:08These treasures are enough to support several sanctuaries for a long time.
45:11Then that is where they should go.
45:14I donated everything he sent to the celestial city's sanctuary for the abandoned.
45:19The next morning, young abandoned angels gathered around the boxes, their small wings trembling with disbelief.
45:28Are these really for us?
45:32Yes.
45:34Use them to grow, to study, and to leave any place that makes you feel unwanted.
45:41Ronan stood quietly at the door.
45:43You turned his apology into something useful.
45:48That is the only thing it can be now.
45:51I stepped out of the sanctuary and looked at the open sky. The Sophia who survived belonged only to herself.
45:58And if heaven ever opened another book to judge me, I would no longer wait for someone else to save
46:04me. I would write my own name first.
