00:03:09Go to hell!
00:03:21So this man is my husband now?
00:03:23Healy, why did you come downstairs yourself?
00:03:30I apologize for troubling you earlier.
00:03:36Healy, I didn't mean to hurt you earlier.
00:03:38But, you pushed me first.
00:03:40I am speaking.
00:03:41Since when does a mere mistress speak out of turn?
00:03:44Have you no sense of pariety?
00:03:48I am speaking.
00:03:49Since when does a mere mistress speak out of turn?
00:03:52Have you no sense of pariety?
00:03:57I... I'll leave before Healy misunderstands me again.
00:04:06What kind of game are you playing now?
00:04:08How long was I unconscious?
00:04:10Half a day or so.
00:04:11Half a day?
00:04:12I've made up my mind.
00:04:13We should get divorced.
00:04:15Take a look.
00:04:15And don't ever humiliate Miss Smith like that again.
00:04:19I can actually read these words?
00:04:22I am a queen, and I am being divorced.
00:04:24What are you smiling at?
00:04:26Nothing.
00:04:27This is a matter of great import.
00:04:29We must deliberate thoroughly, must we not?
00:04:31You...
00:04:31Good!
00:04:32Seeing the two of you so in love puts my mind at ease.
00:04:36Grandma, this is between us.
00:04:38Please stop getting involved.
00:04:39What?
00:04:39I can't get involved now?
00:04:41Of course you can.
00:04:43You're our elder.
00:04:44We should listen to you.
00:04:46You...
00:04:46Healy.
00:04:47Your talent for pretending hasn't changed at all.
00:04:49Shut your mouth, young man.
00:04:51No one in the Clark family divorces his wife.
00:04:53You two are attending the charity auction together tomorrow.
00:04:56Fine.
00:04:56I'll walk you back to your room.
00:04:58Please, just leave this alone.
00:05:20This must be the well for washing one's face.
00:05:31Hello, Dr. Li.
00:05:33It's about Mrs. Clark.
00:05:36You...
00:05:36What are you doing here?
00:05:38I...
00:05:38I am making a phone call.
00:05:40Hello?
00:05:41Is this some form of sorcery?
00:05:43A voice from leagues away?
00:05:44A phone call is incredible!
00:05:48New archaeological of the Queen of the FK Kingdom is perfectly reserved, but it is completely empty.
00:05:53So I traveled from a thousand years ago into the body of someone in this era, who has the same
00:05:59name and face as me?
00:06:05Tonight?
00:06:08I was rude to your Angela bitch earlier.
00:06:10That was my fault.
00:06:11Are you finished?
00:06:13I am.
00:06:17Choose one of these for tonight's auction.
00:06:20When you have time, make an appointment with a psychiatrist.
00:06:25What is a psychiatrist?
00:06:29It seems you don't know either.
00:06:37Showing this much of the arms and legs? Completely improper!
00:06:46This one will do.
00:06:51A man should be patient when waiting for his wife.
00:06:58Mrs. Clark.
00:06:59Hmm.
00:07:00Austin?
00:07:01Austin, you know I don't like events like this, but my family insists that I go, so I...
00:07:04Mr. seduces married man and gets her legs broken.
00:07:07Grandma, your phone is upside down.
00:07:11Oh, so you can see it. I guess you're not blind after all.
00:07:23Oh my! My granddaughter-in-law is absolutely beautiful!
00:07:28Healy, you really dressed up for this. May I come to the auction with you tonight?
00:07:32Of course, as long as you remember who you are at all times and don't overstep.
00:07:41Why are you upset? I'm saying this for your own good.
00:07:47Is something wrong?
00:07:49No, no, nothing at all. I have a gift for you, dear. Here, take it.
00:07:57Nancy, this...
00:07:59My granddaughter-in-law looks beautiful in anything.
00:08:05Austin, it's getting late. The auction is about to start.
00:08:08Grandma, we're running out of time. We really have to go.
00:08:10Hmph.
00:08:35What is this thing?
00:08:37What is this thing?
00:08:44What an ingenious mechanism. I walked for so long, yet I am still trapped inside it.
00:08:55Mr. Clark, as the host of such a high-profile charity auction, what inspired this event?
00:09:02No comment.
00:09:03Oh!
00:09:03We're off!
00:09:06You brought in my office.
00:09:07Mr. Austin...
00:09:08One, look at the camera.
00:09:17Good thing I studied how to handle occasions like this on the phone.
00:09:22Since when did she become so poised and graceful?

00:23:24Chánel!
00:23:28Chánel!
00:23:29The gypsy said it's a trade.
00:23:31Isabella is withering away.
00:23:34Then the money...
00:23:35Chánel!
00:23:36Chánel!
00:23:39Just a dream.
00:23:41But that rotting smell...
00:23:43Why was it so real?
00:23:50What is that stench?
00:23:52I'm drowning in Chánel and I still...
00:23:54That smell, maybe it's coming from her.
00:23:56That's it, I'm done!
00:24:05Isabella, sweetheart.
00:24:07Don't be upset.
00:24:08Look what I got you.
00:24:10The Serpent Queen's kiss?
00:24:11Only a real queen gets the real thing.
00:24:14Here, let me.
00:24:22Don't!
00:24:27That thing's cursed!
00:24:28It's stolen from the Pharaoh's tomb!
00:24:30Take what is not yours and death will follow!
00:24:32Jesus, Salelce!
00:24:33You again?
00:24:34No wonder it stinks around here.
00:24:35It's...
00:24:36Bitch!
00:24:37You really think posing with a mummy makes you an actress?
00:24:39That's my ro-
00:24:40Your role?
00:24:41You're already washed up, you hag!
00:24:51My hair!
00:24:52What happened?
00:24:54The curse has begun!
00:24:58The hair...
00:24:59It wasn't ripped out.
00:25:00It was like it had already died on her head.
00:25:02It's just...
00:25:03The diet.
00:25:04I...
00:25:04I've been pushing too hard for the shoot.
00:25:07That's all this is.
00:25:08Her body will waste away.
00:25:09Her hair will fall.
00:25:11Her skin will rot.
00:25:12Step by step.
00:25:13Until she's hollow.
00:25:22Look, that's the Cleopatra.
00:25:24God, she's stunning.
00:25:25Yeah.
00:25:26But...
00:25:26I don't know.
00:25:27She looks like a corpse.
00:25:33Almost gone.
00:25:34It's just a bruise.
00:25:37Get off me!
00:25:38Get off me!
00:25:39Get off me!
00:25:40Isabella?
00:25:42Mom asked me to tidy up in there.
00:25:44Get lost, Celeste!
00:25:45You just wanna see me like this, don't you?
00:25:47Sweetheart, you look so pale.
00:25:49Maybe we should have someone take a look at you.
00:25:53I'm tired!
00:25:54That's it!
00:25:54I just need to sleep!
00:25:56Leave me alone!
00:26:01What is this?
00:26:05First the weight.
00:26:07Then the hair.
00:26:07Now the rot.
00:26:08The gypsy's words.
00:26:09They're all coming true.
00:26:11Curse, it's real.
00:26:15What the hell is happening to your hair?
00:26:17That curse...
00:26:18It's real!
00:26:19Well, shut up!
00:26:20I said I'm just exhausted!
00:26:23Fine.
00:26:23No more shoots!
00:26:24No more movies!
00:26:25Is that what you want?
00:26:26Get out!
00:26:37It's...
00:26:38Isabella?
00:26:39I'm sorry!
00:26:41Isabella!
00:26:42Wake up!
00:26:46She was here.
00:26:48She dragged me into her tomb.
00:26:50She's going to replace me.
00:26:51Nobody's here!
00:26:52You were choking yourself!
00:26:54Just a nightmare.
00:26:55Baby, come stay with me tonight.
00:26:58Isabella never calls me baby.
00:27:00It's...not her.
00:27:04This is...the gypsy's cat?
00:27:09Get the damn cat out of here!
00:27:12He sent you here?
00:27:13Meow!
00:27:20Meow!
00:27:26Meow!
00:27:40Is he really an exorcist?
00:27:42Or something worse than the curse?
00:27:45Who's there?
00:27:56It's you.
00:27:59Not a good idea to be downtown alone at midnight.
00:28:03It's Isabella.
00:28:04Her hair.
00:28:05Her weight.
00:28:07Everything you said.
00:28:08It's all happening.
00:28:09She took something that wasn't hers.
00:28:11Beauty.
00:28:12Fame.
00:28:14Attention.
00:28:15The Pharaoh demands balance.
00:28:17Take what is not yours.
00:28:19And doom will follow.
00:28:20My mother used to say the same thing.
00:28:23Who are you?
00:28:25That's the same thing.
00:28:31He's a very good man.
00:28:31Even the Pharaoh bow to us now.
00:28:33Come on, everyone.
00:28:37Let's show this mummy who rules the world now.
00:28:42Stop it.
00:28:43Stop it.
00:28:44The Pharaoh demands balance.
00:28:46Take what is not yours and doom will follow.

00:32:29Phải?
00:32:30Để từ khi I was a child, I loved chasing after him and calling his name.
00:32:35I was his biggest admirer.
00:32:37But now, everything has changed.
00:32:49Conner isn't feeling well.
00:32:51Please come take care of him.
00:33:04Đừng có em bảo đệ không hãy xử lý?
00:33:08Don't call me that.
00:33:13I'm chỉ calling you that because I pity you.
00:33:16So if you're the oldest daughter of the Litter family?
00:33:22You were practically wrapped up in a bow and presented before him tonight.
00:33:27But you weren't even worth being his outlet for release
00:33:32You can't beat me
00:33:34I'm not interested in beating you at anything
00:33:39Everything you have, you got from me
00:33:55Willow, what have you done to your sister?
00:33:57How dare you bully her again?
00:34:01Willow, how long will you act so petrally?
00:34:05All these years, you've never given me a day of peace
00:34:11Peace?
00:34:12Ever since she and her mother came into this house
00:34:14And forced my mother to her death
00:34:17This family was never destined for peace
00:34:24I'll fulfill the marriage agreement with that mafia don in her rack
00:34:29I've already written my name on the document
00:34:32You don't have to think up ways to get me to go
00:34:35The mafia in her rack was very powerful
00:34:37However, he was unwilling to let his precious younger daughter marry its dawn
00:34:40Whose past three wives had all died
00:34:44Dad, Willow doesn't really want to marry him and go all the way to her rack
00:34:49I saw her drugging Connor with my own eyes last night
00:34:52I spent the night in the same room
00:34:57How shameless can you be?
00:34:58You signed the marriage agreement, yet you're still trying to cling to Connor?
00:35:02He glared at me before going inside
00:35:05When he came back out, his expression had lost the urgency of before
00:35:09He came by my side
00:35:10Willow, I know your mother and mine had made a marriage agreement between us
00:35:14But I can't marry you right now
00:35:15I can't let Wendy go to her rack
00:35:17I scoffed internally
00:35:19He did not seem to know that I was the one going room overseas to fulfill that marriage agreement
00:35:24If she doesn't go, then I have to
00:35:28I will plead the case to Mr. Liddler
00:35:30The Gordon family will also do its best to find a way out of this marriage agreement
00:35:34Connor looked at the document in my hand and suddenly laughed
00:35:39Willow, were you trying to beg your father to make me marry you?
00:35:42He must have made you come out here because he's so troubled right now
00:35:45Go inside
00:35:46Once I make sure Wendy is safe, I'll marry you as agreed
00:35:50You no longer have to worry right here
00:35:52After saying this, Connor turned to look at me tenderly
00:35:55And patted the back of my hand gently
00:35:57He behaved just as he had when he was a boy
00:35:59Perhaps he may have liked me as we grew up together
00:36:02However, we would inevitably torment each other and run into bad ends
00:36:09You don't have to worry about me
00:36:10I moved away from his touch
00:36:12Connor frowned and grabbed the document for me to take a peek
00:36:15What are you talking about, Willow?
00:36:17Haven't I worried about you plenty growing up?
00:36:19That was true
00:36:19Our mother's...
00:36:21But it was long past time that I woke up from my daydreams
00:36:24We're all grown up now, Connor
00:36:26This time, we'll all get what we want
00:36:28What are you talking about?
00:36:30The marriage agreement is set in stone
00:36:31Who else would you marry?
00:36:33I looked at him silently
00:36:34In this timeline, I would be the one to...
00:36:36Even though I knew that everything in the previous timeline
00:36:39Would only end in pain and heartbreak
00:36:41The love and trust I felt for Connor was not so easily vanquished
00:36:45In the end
00:36:47I could not stand the heat of the day and fanted
00:36:50Willow!
00:36:54Willow!
00:36:55Willow!
00:36:57Before I fully lost consciousness
00:36:59I saw Connor worriedly pull me into his embrace
00:37:04When I woke up
00:37:05I smelled the hospital's disinfectants
00:37:08Connor was sleeping in a chair beside the bed
00:37:10A hand rested on the corner of my blanket
00:37:12As I looked at him in that state
00:37:15I would have believed that he really loved me too
00:37:18If not for his last words in the previous timeline
00:37:21As if he could sense that I had woken up
00:37:23Connor quickly awakened as well
00:37:27What's the matter with you?
00:37:29I was just telling you to chill out
00:37:31And you fainted from the heat
00:37:34Don't you know your body's always been weak?
00:37:37Connor
00:37:38Yeah?
00:37:38Do you remember the amusement park we always went to as children?
00:37:42I looked at him and smiled
00:37:46Take me there one more time, please
00:37:48Connor looked a little displeased
00:37:49Why are you talking like that?
00:37:52We can go as many times as you want
00:37:53After we get married in the future
00:37:57There's no more future for us
00:38:00Surely it would be a huge surprise to him
00:38:01When Wendy marries him
00:38:06Let's go this evening
00:38:07I feel fine now
00:38:08Alright
00:38:09Just this once
00:38:11After that, I still need to deal with that marriage agreement
00:38:14Between your family and the mafia in Hurac
00:38:17Connor did not stay long
00:38:18He returned to the office to handle some matters
00:38:21After making arrangements
00:38:22To meet at the antique me amused rentrance of the amusement park
00:38:25I went back to my apartment to pack up some things
00:38:28I looked around the empty room
00:38:30No one will miss me here
00:38:33After my mother died
00:38:34Dad took Wendy and her mother to Little Manor
00:38:36I moved out
00:38:38Before Wendy showed up
00:38:39Connor would make me a carved figurine every year for my birthday
00:38:42These figurines came in various shapes
00:38:45One was a dog I used to own
00:38:46And some others were delicate bouquets of flowers
00:38:49There was even one of my mother and myself
00:38:51This only lasted until my 18th birthday
00:38:53When Wendy was taken in
00:38:56From then on
00:38:56The figurines went to Wendy
00:38:59The gifts I got were half-hearted things his assistant bought
00:39:04I kept the figurine of my mother and myself on my person
00:39:07The rest were shipped off
00:39:10Mom
00:39:12I only have you left
00:39:14After it was all done
00:39:15I stood at the rendezvous and waited for Connor
00:39:18But even after all the lights were turned off at the amusement park
00:39:20Connor still did not show up
00:39:22There were also no messages or calls on my phone
00:39:26It started to rain
00:39:28But I did not have an umbrella with me
00:39:30I also did not have a driver to pick me up
00:39:34He stood me up again
00:39:38The rain soaked my clothes and drouched my hair
00:39:43I took one last look at the amusement park behind me
00:39:46The place where Connor and I had shared so many happy memories
00:39:50Goodbye Connor
00:39:51I hope we never see each other again
00:39:54I hope you're happy in this life
00:39:57Before I even turned to go
00:39:59Something hit me hard from behind
00:40:01After that, I was released from my binds and held in a warm embrace
00:40:05Before I blacked out, I saw Connor's teary eyes
00:40:08I'm sorry, Willow
00:40:10I can't bear to hurt you
00:40:11But you should not have hurt Wendy
00:40:13You must remember this lesson well
00:40:14Why was Connor acting like he could not bear to hurt me
00:40:17When he was the one who ordered my torment?
00:40:20This was just like the contradictory relationship we had in the previous timeline
00:40:24Connor brought me back to my apartment
00:40:26After my mother's death
00:40:27Connor would visit me often to look after me
00:40:29I had even given him a key
00:40:31He got a doctor to make a house call
00:40:32After the doctor made sure I was okay
00:40:34Connor spent the night at my bedside
00:40:37Caring for me
00:40:41I'm sorry, Willow
00:40:42After our wedding, I'll make it all up to you
00:40:44That was what I heard him say at dawn before he left
00:40:47But there will not be any weddings
00:40:49I would make certain of it
00:40:51Because my legs had been bound last night
00:40:54I walked with a slight limp in Yoteg
00:40:58The figurine of my mother was still there
00:41:00Thankfully, the door was suddenly tripped open
00:41:03Windy stormed before me
00:41:09What happened to you, sis?
00:41:11Do you know why you nearly drowned last night?
00:41:15Connor didn't go to the amusement park with you last night, did he?
00:41:20It's such a shame that he doesn't know you'll be going overseas
00:41:23To fulfill that marriage agreement
00:41:25Or that you wanted to say goodbye to him last night
00:41:28All I said to him was that you went home
00:41:31Threw another tantrum
00:41:33And pushed me into the pool
00:41:35After that, he arranged for someone to kidnap you
00:41:39To punish you
00:41:41I paid the kidnappers extra
00:41:43So they would keep dunking you into the water
00:41:46You poor thing, Willow
00:41:48Shut up
00:41:50Aren't you worried that Connor will find out the truth?
00:41:53He hates liars
00:41:56And how would he know?
00:41:58You'll be going overseas soon
00:42:00Three wives of that mafia dawn died
00:42:03How long do you think you'll survive?
00:42:08Didn't you say that I got everything I have from you?
00:42:11That I destroy everything you have
00:42:17By the time Connor finished his work
00:42:18And came to the apartment to look for me
00:42:20The place was blanketed in darkness
00:42:23He felt a sense of unease rise within him
00:42:25And he rushed to Little It Manor
00:42:30Mr. Linden, where is Willow?
00:42:32Willow? She should have arrived in her act by now
00:42:37Why is she in her act?
00:42:39Oh, you still don't know, Connor?
00:42:42The other day, Willow came to talk to me
00:42:44She said she was willing to go overseas
00:42:46To fulfill the marriage agreement
00:42:48Father, I shall travel overseas to honor the betrothal
00:42:50By now
00:42:52Ah, it was the day you were outside the manor together
00:42:55You young people
00:42:56All of you are so impulsive
00:42:58I thought Willow told you about it
00:43:00It's a big deal, after all
00:43:03Afterward, he called Wendy to come over
00:43:05Connor, I can tell that you like Wendy
00:43:07I've decided to play matchmaker
00:43:09And set you two up
00:43:10Connor had thought about this many times
00:43:12If not for his marriage agreement with Willow
00:43:15He would want to marry Wendy
00:43:18What consumed his mind
00:43:19Was the thought that Willow had actually left him
00:43:22But did he not like Wendy instead?
00:43:24The only thing he had with Willow
00:43:25Was their marriage agreement
00:43:27Was it not?
00:43:28However, for some reason
00:43:29His heart hurt
00:43:30He felt like he had lost everything in the world
00:43:34It was impossible
00:43:36Willow would never leave him so easily
00:43:39They had set a date
00:43:40To go to the amusement park together
00:43:45Connor contacted his executive assistant
00:43:47The Norbley Sistenside
00:43:48Assistries Your Kieran Grace
00:43:50Book me a seat on the earliest flight to Herat tomorrow
00:43:52But sir
00:43:53Mr. Gordon has asked you to go home
00:43:55To discuss the matter of your engagement with Wendy
00:43:59I'm sure his bodyguards are already on the way to you
00:44:01Connor simply hung up
00:44:03He frantically sped to Willow's apartment
00:44:08He had spent so much time
00:44:10Snuggled up with Willow on that couch
00:44:11Watching movies
00:44:14He had also cooked for her in that kitchen
00:44:16When she was sick
00:44:17He pushed open the door to the study
00:44:19In a beautiful jewelry box
00:44:21Were the figurines he had carved for Willow
00:44:23He had carved the dog that had been with her for ten years
00:44:26Along with her favorite roses
00:44:29She had not taken any of the figurines with her
00:44:33The only piece that was missing
00:44:35Was the figurine of her and her mother
00:44:39He still remembered when Willow's mother passed away
00:44:41He did not sleep for three days and three nights to carve that figurine
00:44:45When he had given it to Willow
00:44:47Her ever-determined pisauld broke
00:44:48And her eyes had been filled with tears
00:44:50Had she taken it away with her?
00:44:52Did she still care for him?
00:44:54His tired eyes landed on a shard of something by the couch
00:44:57He carefully picked it up
00:44:59He was sure that he recognized it
00:45:00It was a piece of the figurine of Willow and her mother
00:45:03It was shattered
00:45:05Could it be that Willow did not even want that figurine?
00:45:09A young boy's head poked in
00:45:11He looked curiously at Connor
00:45:12Are you here to look for the lady who lived here?
00:45:19Tell me, kid
00:45:20What did those people look like?
00:45:22That woman with the doll-like face
00:45:24She looked sweet and innocent like a fortune doll
00:45:26Have you seen her, kid?
00:45:28Lots of people came here last night
00:45:29They were so scary
00:45:30They beat up the lady here
00:45:32I saw it hiding behind my front door
00:45:34They broke the lady's figurine
00:45:36I picked this piece up at my door
00:45:40Connor went through the pictures in his phone and picked one out
00:45:44The boy pointed at Wendy's smiling face
00:45:46It was her
00:45:58At the graduation banquet, someone suggested playing the heartbeat resonance challenge
00:46:02The rules were simple
00:46:03If a boy and girl's heartbeat resonance both exceeded 130 while locking eyes
00:46:08They had to become a contract couple for two months
00:46:10The first pairing was me and Lucian Ashcroft
00:46:12My secret boyfriend of three years
00:46:14My heart resonance hit 150
00:46:16Lucian showed 70
00:46:17He looked at me like a total stranger
00:46:21No way!
00:46:22You've grown up together your whole lives!
00:46:24Lucian doesn't even react to her?
00:46:25Damn!
00:46:26That's actually embarrassing
00:46:27Have some self-respect!
00:46:29None of them knew
00:46:30Lucian and I had been together for three years
00:46:32Tonight, I had planned to finally make our relationship public
00:46:35Instead, he was doing everything he could to draw a line between us
00:46:38The second round began
00:46:39Lucian was paired with Serafina Vale
00:46:40His academic rival
00:46:42The two argued every time they met
00:46:43Every one expected another disaster
00:46:45Then they looked at each other
00:46:46The crystal flashed
00:46:47Serafina's reading hit 160
00:46:49Lucian's hit 163
00:46:51The hall erupted
00:46:51No freaking way!
00:46:53They hate each other!
00:46:53This is fate!
00:46:56Both of them immediately demanded another test
00:46:58But the students surrounded them
00:46:59Cheering loudly
00:47:00They reluctantly agreed to be a couple for the next two months
00:47:03My phone vibrated
00:47:04A private message from Lucian
00:47:05Elena, let's break up for now
00:47:07Just two months
00:47:07After I enter Imperial College in
00:47:09We'll get back together
00:47:10I refuse to lose to Serafina
00:47:11I stared at the message
00:47:12After a moment, I replied
00:47:14For the entire summer
00:47:15I had struggled over whether to tell him about my overseas application to Arcadia Academy
00:47:19Now I didn't have to
00:47:20The banquet grew louder
00:47:21Lucian and Serafina were pushed into the center of the room
00:47:25The two who fought non-stop every day were both bright red right now
00:47:28Lucian draped an arm around Serafina's shoulder
00:47:31We've been together less than a day
00:47:33It's just a contract, we'll break up in two months
00:47:35The cheering only got louder
00:47:36Someone suddenly pointed at me
00:47:38Wait, what about Elena?
00:47:39Her resonance with Lucian was the highest after theirs
00:47:42She couldn't even look him in the eye
00:47:43All eyes turned toward me
00:47:44Lucian glanced over
00:47:45She's just a friend
00:47:47Not my type
00:47:48Just a friend
00:47:49That one sentence erased everything we'd ever had
00:47:51The joke started immediately
00:47:52So, what if they grew up together?
00:47:54She's so plain
00:47:54How'd she ever think Lucian would like her?
00:47:56Lucian's the Academy's golden boy
00:47:58She never had a chance
00:47:59I lowered my gaze
00:48:00I had heard these words for years
00:48:01Every one at the Mage Academy knew I liked Lucian
00:48:04I never hid my feelings
00:48:05But Lucian always kept his distance from me on campus
00:48:07He never reacted at all when people joked about us
00:48:10Off school grounds though
00:48:11He'd hold my hand walking me home
00:48:12Pin me against alley walls to kiss me
00:48:14Whenever I was upset
00:48:15He'd pull me tight to comfort me
00:48:16Elena Hart likes Lucian Ashcroft
00:48:18That was the oldest joke in the Academy
00:48:19Lucian Ashcroft is Elena Hart's boyfriend
00:48:21That was a secret
00:48:22Only I knew
00:48:23The banquet ended after midnight
00:48:25Rain poured across the Academy grounds
00:48:26Students hurried toward the portal station
00:48:28I opened my umbrella
00:48:29Before I could leave
00:48:30Lucian snatched it from my hand
00:48:31Elena, Serafina and I don't have one
00:48:33We'll borrow yours
00:48:34Before I could answer
00:48:35Serafina smiled
00:48:35Thanks Elena
00:48:36We'll return it tomorrow
00:48:37Lucian was already pulling her away
00:48:39As they disappeared into the rain
00:48:40I heard them arguing
00:48:41Don't flatter yourself Serafina
00:48:43Two months, then we're done
00:48:45Good
00:48:45I don't even like you
00:48:46Their voices faded
00:48:47Only I noticed that the umbrella leaned
00:48:49Almost entirely toward Serafina
00:48:50Lucian's own shoulder was soaked
00:48:52One by one
00:48:52Everyone left
00:48:53Nobody asked how I would get home
00:48:55I stood alone in the rain
00:48:56My tears mixed with the water running down my face
00:48:58Lucian knew I wasn't close with anyone in class
00:49:00He knew nobody would stay behind for me
00:49:02Yet he still took my umbrella
00:49:03And left me there
00:49:04Alone
00:49:04He had promised that after graduation
00:49:06We'd finally tell everyone the truth
00:49:08Instead, I got a breakup
00:49:09And another girl took my place
00:49:10My phone suddenly rang
00:49:12Calling from overseas
00:49:13It was my mother
00:49:17Lenam, if you still want to stay here
00:49:18And attend Imperial Collium
00:49:19That's okay too
00:49:20We trust Lucian
00:49:21If you're together
00:49:21Your father and I won't object
00:49:22I closed my eyes
00:49:24Cold rain struck my face
00:49:27Mom
00:49:29I've made my decision
00:49:30Please process my enrollment paperwork
00:49:32I'm going to Arcadia Academy
00:49:33When I got home
00:49:34I was soaked from head to toe
00:49:35A notification chimed
00:49:36Lucian never posted on social media
00:49:38But he just updated his profile
00:49:39Introducing my girlfriend Serafinavel
00:49:41The photo showed Lucian
00:49:42With an arm draped around Serafina's shoulders
00:49:44He was grinning
00:49:45She was glaring at him
00:49:45The comments exploded instantly
00:49:47I knew it
00:49:48The Academy's favorite enemies to lovers couple
00:49:51About time
00:49:52I kept scrolling
00:49:52Then I saw a new comment
00:49:54Poor Elena
00:49:55She must be crying right now
00:49:56Why?
00:49:57She never stood a chance
00:49:58Lucian was way out of her league
00:50:00More comments followed
00:50:01Some included old photos of me
00:50:02Unflattering ones
00:50:03The same jokes
00:50:04The same mockery
00:50:05I locked my screen
00:50:06And dropped onto the couch
00:50:07Tears blurred my vision
00:50:08Out of your league
00:50:09I'd heard those words for years
00:50:10Lucian was brilliant and handsome
00:50:12The top-ranked mage in our academy
00:50:13I was ordinary and forgettable
00:50:14The girls hated that I grew up beside him
00:50:16The boys never missed a chance
00:50:17To make fun of me
00:50:18They came up with all kinds of cruel nicknames
00:50:20Manaless groupie
00:50:21At the academy
00:50:22Lucian never got close to me
00:50:23But whenever someone picked on me
00:50:25He was always the first to step in
00:50:26The worst time he got into a fight
00:50:27With a group of boys because of me
00:50:29He nearly got suspended
00:50:30I cried the entire time I cleaned
00:50:31And bandaged his wounds
00:50:32My heart hurt too much for words
00:50:34Not long after that
00:50:35We started dating in secret
00:50:36Back then
00:50:36I truly believed I was different
00:50:38That I meant something to him
00:50:39Everything changed when Serafina transferred here
00:50:41She was a gifted mage
00:50:42Beautiful and powerful
00:50:43Right after she arrived
00:50:44She knocked Lucian off his spot as top student
00:50:46He could never stand to lose
00:50:48He began bickering with her
00:50:49Competing in mage rankings and tournament points
00:50:51The loser had to obey whatever the winner said
00:50:54The entire academy shipped them together
00:50:56Every time someone mentioned it
00:50:58Lucian rolled his eyes and complained
00:51:00But I noticed things nobody else did
00:51:02The way his gaze followed her during presentations
00:51:04The way he secretly left healing potions for her after training
00:51:07The way he pushed her harder whenever she wanted to give up
00:51:10At the time
00:51:10I convinced myself it meant nothing
00:51:12Then came the final rankings before graduation
00:51:14Serafina dropped several places
00:51:16For the first time Lucian didn't celebrate finishing first
00:51:19Instead he spent every spare moment helping her prepare for the final mage examination
00:51:23He cancelled our plans
00:51:24Skipped our dates
00:51:25Spent every afternoon in the library with her
00:51:27One day I asked if I could join them
00:51:29Elena
00:51:31The things we're working on are too advanced
00:51:33You wouldn't understand
00:51:34The words hit harder than he realized
00:51:36You wouldn't understand
00:51:37Just one sentence
00:51:38Yet they drew a line between us
00:51:40Still he smiled afterward
00:51:41Be patient
00:51:43After graduation we'll tell everyone about us
00:51:45But the promise to go public made me wait willingly for such a long time
00:51:48I could ignore everything as long as he came back to me
00:51:50But it suddenly dawned on me today
00:51:52It was never only the other students who looked down on me
00:51:54Lucian was one of them too
00:51:55Rain tapped against the windows
00:51:57I cried myself to sleep
00:51:58Morning came
00:51:59The storm was gone
00:52:00The doorbell rang
00:52:02Lucian stood outside
00:52:03Elena
00:52:03I had the comments delighted
00:52:04The post wasn't serious
00:52:06Don't overthink it
00:52:06He reached for my hand
00:52:07I stepped back
00:52:08He forced a smile
00:52:09My mom wants you over for dinner
00:52:10Come
00:52:14At the Ashcroft estate
00:52:15I froze
00:52:15Serafina was there
00:52:17She handed me my umbrella
00:52:18Lucian forgot to return it
00:52:19Mrs. Ashcroft appeared
00:52:21Elena
00:52:22You're here
00:52:23This kid hid his girlfriend for this long
00:52:25Lucian shot me a look
00:52:26A warning
00:52:27Don't say anything
00:52:28I nodded
00:52:29At dinner
00:52:29Mrs. Ashcroft beamed at Serafina's grades
00:52:31You two are perfect
00:52:33My son should be with someone outstanding
00:52:35My grip on the fork tightened
00:52:37Lucian changed the subject
00:52:38I'm going to Imperial College
00:52:39You Serafina?
00:52:41Obviously
00:52:41I'm not letting you beat me
00:52:43They looked at each other
00:52:44Like they belonged in the same world
00:52:45Mrs. Ashcroft turned to me
00:52:47Elena
00:52:47What about you?
00:52:49Serafina answered first
00:52:50Imperial might be difficult for Elena
00:52:51But she can try somewhere nearby
00:52:53Before the breakup
00:52:54That had been my plan
00:52:55Not anymore
00:52:56I haven't decided yet
00:52:57Lucian's expression darkened
00:52:59My phone buzzed
00:53:00What do you mean?
00:53:00We were supposed to go together
00:53:02We'll get back together
00:53:03I didn't reply
00:53:03After dinner
00:53:04Mrs. Ashcroft handed Lucian cash
00:53:06Take your girlfriend somewhere nice
00:53:08Serafina laughed
00:53:09You should come too, Elena
00:53:10We're all friends
00:53:12Superiority laced with pity
00:53:13The same look Lucian always gave me
00:53:15Coming?
00:53:16No, I think I'm getting sick
00:53:18You two go
00:53:19The tension on his face vanished
00:53:20Alright
00:53:20He left with Serafina
00:53:22Hand in hand
00:53:22I watched their fingers intertwine
00:53:24And suddenly thought of that game
00:53:25Maybe I'd already lost from the very beginning
00:53:28At the graduation banquet
00:53:29Someone suggested playing the heartbeat resonance challenge
00:53:31The rules were simple
00:53:32If a boy and girl's heartbeat resonance
00:53:34Both exceeded 130
00:53:36While locking eyes
00:53:37They had to become a contract couple for two months
00:53:39The first pairing was me and Lucian Ashcroft
00:53:41My secret boyfriend of three years
00:53:43My heart resonance hit 150
00:53:45Lucian showed 70
00:53:46He looked at me like a total stranger
00:53:50No way
00:53:51You've grown up together your whole lives
00:53:52Lucian doesn't even react to her?
00:53:54Damn
00:53:54That's actually embarrassing
00:53:56Have some self-respect
00:53:58None of them knew
00:53:59Lucian and I had been together for three years
00:54:01Tonight, I had planned to finally make our relationship public
00:54:03Instead, he was doing everything he could to draw a line between us
00:54:06The second round began
00:54:07Lucian was paired with Serafina Vale
00:54:09His academic rival
00:54:10The two argued every time they met
00:54:12Everyone expected another disaster
00:54:14Then they looked at each other
00:54:15The crystal flashed
00:54:16Serafina's reading hit 160
00:54:18Lucian's hit 163
00:54:19The hall erupted
00:54:20No freaking way!
00:54:21They hate each other!
00:54:22This is fate!
00:54:24Both of them immediately demanded another test
00:54:27But the students surrounded them
00:54:28Cheering loudly
00:54:29They reluctantly agreed to be a couple for the next two months
00:54:31My phone vibrated
00:54:32A private message from Lucian
00:54:34Elena, let's break up for now
00:54:35Just two months
00:54:36After I enter Imperial College in
00:54:38We'll get back together
00:54:38I refuse to lose to Serafina
00:54:40I stared at the message
00:54:41After a moment, I replied
00:54:43For the entire summer
00:54:44I had struggled over whether to tell him about my overseas application to Arcadia Academy
00:54:48Now I didn't have to
00:54:49The banquet grew louder
00:54:50Lucian and Serafina were pushed into the center of the room
00:54:54The two who fought non-stop every day were both bright red right now
00:54:57Lucian draped an arm around Serafina's shoulder
00:55:00We've been together less than a day
00:55:02It's just a contract we'll break up in two months
00:55:04The cheering only got louder
00:55:05Samonan suddenly pointed at me
00:55:06Wait, what about Elena?
00:55:08Her resonance with Lucian was the highest after theirs
00:55:11She couldn't even look him in the eye
00:55:12All eyes turned toward me
00:55:13Lucian glanced over
00:55:14She's just a friend
00:55:16Not my type
00:55:17Just a friend
00:55:17That one sentence erased everything we'd ever had
00:55:19The joke started immediately
00:55:21So what if they grew up together?
00:55:22She's so plain
00:55:23How'd she ever think Lucian would like her?
00:55:25Lucian's the Academy's golden boy
00:55:26She never had a chance
00:55:28I lowered my gaze
00:55:29I had heard these words for years
00:55:30Every one at the Mage Academy knew I liked Lucian
00:55:32I never hid my feelings
00:55:34But Lucian always kept his distance from me on campus
00:55:36He never reacted at all when people joked about us
00:55:38Off school grounds though
00:55:40He'd hold my hand walking me home
00:55:41Pin me against alley walls to kiss me
00:55:43Whenever I was upset
00:55:44He'd pull me tight to comfort me
00:55:45Elena Hart likes Lucian Ashcroft
00:55:47That was the oldest joke in the Academy
00:55:48Lucian Ashcroft is Elena Hart's boyfriend
00:55:50That was a secret
00:55:51Only I knew
00:55:52The banquet ended after midnight
00:55:53Rain poured across the Academy grounds
00:55:55Students hurried toward the portal station
00:55:57I opened my umbrella
00:55:58Before I could leave
00:55:59Lucian snatched it from my hand
00:56:00Elena
00:56:00Serafina and I don't have one
00:56:02We'll borrow yours
00:56:03Before I could answer
00:56:03Serafina smiled
00:56:04Thanks Elena
00:56:05We'll return it tomorrow
00:56:06Lucian was already pulling her away
00:56:07As they disappeared into the rain
00:56:09I heard them arguing
00:56:10Don't flatter yourself Serafina
00:56:11Two months
00:56:12Then we're done
00:56:13Good
00:56:14I don't even like you
00:56:15Their voices faded
00:56:16Only I noticed that the umbrella leaned
00:56:18Almost entirely toward Serafina
00:56:19Lucian's own shoulder was soaked
00:56:21One by one
00:56:21Everyone left
00:56:22Nobody asked how I would get home
00:56:23I stood alone in the rain
00:56:25My tears mixed with the water running down my face
00:56:27Lucian knew I wasn't close with anyone in class
00:56:29He knew nobody would stay behind for me
00:56:31Yet he still took my umbrella
00:56:32And left me there
00:56:33Alone
00:56:33He had promised that after graduation
00:56:35We'd finally tell everyone the truth
00:56:36Instead
00:56:37I got a breakup
00:56:38And another girl took my place
00:56:39My phone suddenly rang
00:56:40Calling from overseas
00:56:41It was my mother
00:56:45Lenam
00:56:46If you still want to stay here and attend Imperial Collium
00:56:48That's okay too
00:56:48We trust Lucian
00:56:49If you're together
00:56:50Your father and I won't object
00:56:51I closed my eyes
00:56:52Cold rain
00:56:53Struck my face
00:56:56Mom
00:56:57I've made my decision
00:56:58Please process my enrollment paperwork
00:57:00I'm going to Arcadia Academy
00:57:02When I got home
00:57:03I was soaked from head to toe
00:57:04A notification chimed
00:57:05Lucian never posted on social media
00:57:07But he just updated his profile
00:57:08Introducing my girlfriend Serafina
00:57:10The photo showed Lucian
00:57:11With an arm draped around Serafina's shoulders
00:57:13He was grinning
00:57:13She was glaring at him
00:57:14The comments exploded instantly
00:57:16I knew it
00:57:17The Academy's favorite enemies to lovers couple
00:57:20About time
00:57:20I kept scrolling
00:57:21Then I saw a new comment
00:57:23Poor Elena
00:57:23She must be crying right now
00:57:25Why?
00:57:26She never stood a chance
00:57:27Lucian was way out of her league
00:57:28More comments followed
00:57:29Some included old photos of me
00:57:31Unflattering ones
00:57:32The same jokes
00:57:33The same mockery
00:57:34I locked my screen
00:57:34And dropped onto the couch
00:57:35Tears blurred my vision
00:57:37Out of your league
00:57:37I'd heard those words for years
00:57:39Lucian was brilliant and handsome
00:57:40The top ranked mage in our academy
00:57:42I was ordinary and forgettable
00:57:43The girls hated that I grew up beside him
00:57:45The boys never missed a chance to make fun of me
00:57:47They came up with all kinds of cruel nicknames
00:57:49Manaless groupie
00:57:50At the academy
00:57:51Lucian never got close to me
00:57:52But whenever someone picked on me
00:57:53He was always the first to step in
00:57:55The worst time
00:57:55He got into a fight
00:57:56With a group of boys because of me
00:57:57He nearly got suspended
00:57:59I cried the entire time I cleaned
00:58:00And bandaged his wounds
00:58:01My heart hurt too much for words
00:58:03Not long after that
00:58:04We started dating in secret
00:58:05Back then
00:58:05I truly believed I was different
00:58:07That I meant something to him
00:58:08Everything changed when Serafina transferred here
00:58:10She was a gifted mage
00:58:11Beautiful and powerful
00:58:12Right after she arrived
00:58:13She knocked Lucian off his spot as top student
00:58:15He could never stand to lose
00:58:17He began bickering with her
00:58:18Competing in mage rankings and tournament points
00:58:20The loser had to obey whatever the winner said
00:58:23The entire academy shipped them together
00:58:25Every time someone mentioned it
00:58:27Lucian rolled his eyes and complained
00:58:29But I noticed things nobody else did
00:58:30The way his gaze followed her during presentations
00:58:33The way he secretly left healing potions for her after training
00:58:36The way he pushed her harder whenever she wanted to give up
00:58:38At the time
00:58:39I convinced myself it meant nothing
00:58:41Then came the final rankings before graduation
00:58:43Serafina dropped several places
00:58:45For the first time Lucian didn't celebrate finishing first
00:58:47Instead he spent every spare moment helping her prepare for the final mage examination
00:58:51He cancelled our plans
00:58:53Skipped our dates
00:58:54Spent every afternoon in the library with her
00:58:56One day I asked if I could join them
00:58:58Elena
00:58:59The things we're working on are too advanced
00:59:01You wouldn't understand
00:59:03The words hit harder than he realized
00:59:04You wouldn't understand
00:59:06Just one sentence
00:59:07Yet they drew a line between us
00:59:09Still he smiled afterward
00:59:10Be patient
00:59:12After graduation we'll tell everyone about us
00:59:14But the promise to go public made me wait willingly for such a long time
00:59:17I could ignore everything as long as he came back to me
00:59:19But it suddenly dawned on me today
00:59:20It was never only the other students who looked down on me
00:59:23Lucian was one of them too
00:59:24Rain tapped against the windows
00:59:26I cried myself to sleep
00:59:27Morning came
00:59:27The storm was gone
00:59:29The doorbell rang
00:59:30Lucian stood outside
00:59:31Elena
00:59:32I had the comments delighted
00:59:33The post wasn't serious
00:59:34Don't overthink it
00:59:35He reached for my hand
00:59:36I stepped back
00:59:37He forced a smile
00:59:38My mom wants you over for dinner
00:59:39Come
00:59:42At the Ashcroft estate
00:59:44I froze
00:59:44Serafina was there
00:59:45She handed me my umbrella
00:59:46Lucian forgot to return it
00:59:48Mrs. Ashcroft appeared
00:59:50Elena
00:59:50You're here
00:59:52This kid hid his girlfriend for this long
00:59:54Lucian shot me a look
00:59:55A warning
00:59:56Don't say anything
00:59:57I nodded
00:59:57At dinner
00:59:58Mrs. Ashcroft beamed at Serafina's grades
01:00:00You two are perfect
01:00:02My son should be with someone outstanding
01:00:04My grip on the fork tightened
01:00:06Lucian changed the subject
01:00:07I'm going to Imperial College
01:00:08You Serafina?
01:00:10Obviously
01:00:10I'm not letting you beat me
01:00:12They looked at each other
01:00:12Like they belonged in the same world
01:00:14Mrs. Ashcroft turned to me
01:00:16Elena
01:00:16What about you?
01:00:17Serafina answered first
01:00:18Imperial might be difficult for Elena
01:00:20But she can try somewhere nearby
01:00:22Before the breakup
01:00:23That had been my plan
01:00:24Not anymore
01:00:25I haven't decided yet
01:00:26Lucian's expression darkened
01:00:27My phone buzzed
01:00:28What do you mean?
01:00:29We were supposed to go together
01:00:30We'll get back together
01:00:31I didn't reply
01:00:32After dinner
01:00:33Mrs. Ashcroft handed Lucian cash
01:00:35Take your girlfriend somewhere nice
01:00:37Serafina laughed
01:00:38You should come too, Elena
01:00:39We're all friends
01:00:41Superiority laced with pity
01:00:42The same look Lucian always gave me
01:00:44Coming?
01:00:45No, I think I'm getting sick
01:00:47You two go
01:00:47The tension on his face vanished
01:00:49Alright
01:00:49He left with Serafina
01:00:50Hand in hand
01:00:51I watched their fingers intertwine
01:00:53And suddenly thought of that game
01:00:54Maybe I'd already lost from the very beginning
01:00:56The air in the black market arena
01:00:58Was thick with pheromones and iron
01:00:59Humans were Omega assets here
01:01:01Displayed inside glass lit cages
01:01:03Like exotic relics
01:01:05Lot 77
01:01:06Omega female
01:01:08Fertility index
01:01:09Exceptional
01:01:10Previously unacclaimed for six months in the Omega Zone
01:01:13The cage door swings open
01:01:15I am shoved forward
01:01:16Barefoot
01:01:17Heavy iron shackles clamped around my wrists
01:01:19My expression stays calm
01:01:21Unflinching
01:01:22The traders hated that
01:01:23Most Omegas cried when they entered the arena
01:01:25Some begged
01:01:26Some broke
01:01:27But I would never do that
01:01:29The moment I believed they owned me
01:01:31They would truly chain my soul forever
01:01:33She's unmarked?
01:01:35Impossible
01:01:36That body type survived Omega Zone
01:01:38She looks expensive
01:01:39And at the center
01:01:40Serpent King Kael Virith
01:01:42Half shadowed
01:01:43Immobile
01:01:44Watching
01:01:45His tail curled slowly around the throne
01:01:47Like a living verdict
01:01:48A single flick of his fingers
01:01:49I will take her
01:01:509,800,000 credits
01:01:53Auto accepted
01:01:53No further bids
01:01:54Serpent King claims lot 77
01:01:57At full sovereign price
01:01:59The gavel fell
01:02:01In the serpent world
01:02:02Fertility is a curse
01:02:03Most females never conceive
01:02:05But I gave birth to three serpent heirs at once
01:02:07Cashin, Rowan and Niko
01:02:09Annual mate reconfirmation ceremony
01:02:11The hall was filled with nobles
01:02:13But tonight
01:02:14The king did not stand beside his official mate
01:02:17He holds Isla Saran in his arms
01:02:19Another Omega
01:02:19Soft
01:02:20Fragile
01:02:21Familiar
01:02:22Leora Vance is no longer my mate
01:02:24I stood at the far end of the hall
01:02:26His eyes drifted over my body
01:02:28I should never have brought you back from that auction
01:02:30Isla suffered for years because of my mistake
01:02:32You are nothing but a breeding vessel
01:02:34I felt the room waiting for me to crumble
01:02:36To beg
01:02:37To prove him right
01:02:39But I had learned long ago in the Omega Zone
01:02:41The people who enjoy humiliating you
01:02:43Never stop when you give them tears
01:02:44Are you certain?
01:02:46I am the mother of the Virith line
01:02:47The kingdom needs me
01:02:48Need you?
01:02:49Those curves, that fertility
01:02:52That's all you were
01:02:53You may stay
01:02:54After all
01:02:55You did produce hares
01:02:57But you will no longer be my mate
01:02:59My brother's household still lacks a mate
01:03:01You will be transferred to Darius
01:03:03The lost prince?
01:03:04He's assigning his mate to the vanished war god?
01:03:06Darius Vera
01:03:07King's brother
01:03:08The kingdom's most feared war god
01:03:10He vanished during the northern campaign
01:03:12But one thing remained unchanged
01:03:14No one had ever dared claim his title
01:03:16The man who had visited too often
01:03:17Even when I was first bought at the auction
01:03:19I remember it now
01:03:21He was there
01:03:22Sitting at the edge of the arena shadows
01:03:24Not bidding
01:03:25Just watching me
01:03:26He wanted me
01:03:28And that scared me more than Kale's cruelty ever did
01:03:30My eyes met Kale's without trembling
01:03:32If I am being transferred like property
01:03:35Then I refuse to belong to anyone who discarded me
01:03:37At the center of the chamber floated an enormous silver scroll
01:03:40Hundreds of glowing names drifted across its surface
01:03:43Every bonded pair in the serpent kingdom
01:03:45King Kale Veeroth
01:03:46You are requesting a permanent mate transfer decree?
01:03:51Once removed from the blood scroll
01:03:53This bond can never be restored
01:03:54Do you know how many clans would start a war for an omega like her?
01:03:58She carried triplets and survived
01:03:59That's practically royal blood level
01:04:01Proceed
01:04:01He answered coldly
01:04:03Without looking at me once
01:04:04The elder raised his staff
01:04:05Runes ignited beneath my feet
01:04:07Ancient magic awakened
01:04:09The golden scroll slowly unfurled itself
01:04:11Then my name appeared
01:04:13Leora Vance
01:04:14Mate of Kale Veeroth
01:04:15The entire chamber trembled
01:04:17The silver letters of my name began to crack
01:04:20One by one
01:04:21For a second
01:04:22I couldn't breathe
01:04:23I collapsed to my knees
01:04:25As if all the strength had drained out of me
01:04:27A tiny cry suddenly echoed through the hall
01:04:29My children
01:04:30The magic wasn't finished
01:04:32Another line slowly appeared
01:04:34Leora Vance
01:04:35Mate of Darius Veeroth
01:04:36Then something unexpected happened
01:04:38Silver flames raced through the manes
01:04:41What is happening?
01:04:42The elder's face had gone pale
01:04:43Impossible
01:04:45For the first time all night
01:04:47Kale looked up
01:04:48The moment Prince Darius returns
01:04:49The scroll will complete the claiming ceremony
01:04:52Kale's expression changed
01:04:53He had just given away something he would never get back
01:04:56The next morning
01:04:57The palace servants arrived
01:04:59Not to help me move
01:05:01To remove me
01:05:02Careful with those
01:05:03Anything that belonged to the former mate goes
01:05:06Isla, wearing Kale's royal robes
01:05:08Issued an eviction order against me
01:05:10Former mate
01:05:11The word spread through the courtyard
01:05:12Like a disease
01:05:14Servants avoided my eyes
01:05:15Some looked embarrassed
01:05:17Most looked relieved
01:05:18The king's discarded mate was no longer their concern
01:05:21Isla pointed toward my herb garden
01:05:23Rip it out!
01:05:24It's ugly!
01:05:27Lady Lyra planted those for the royal earth
01:05:30Isla's smile never moved
01:05:31Then plant prettier ones
01:05:33The roots were torn from the earth
01:05:34One by one
01:05:36Mama!
01:05:38It's alright, don't be afraid
01:05:39Then Isla picked up the toy
01:05:41That Kale had carved years ago
01:05:43This junk too
01:05:45The toy hit the ground
01:05:47Crack
01:05:48Enjoy the palace
01:05:50Everything worth having was never yours
01:05:52By sunset
01:05:53I stood outside the palace gates
01:05:56She has nothing
01:05:57Where will she take the heirs?
01:05:59Poor thing
01:06:28Three children
01:06:30The gates stood silent
01:06:32Covered in dust
01:06:33Like a tomb
01:06:34The moment I step forward
01:06:35The gates swing open on their own
01:06:37Golden light exploded through the estate
01:06:39Gasps everywhere
01:06:40Ancient serpent runes ignited
01:06:42Fountains awakened
01:06:44Statues opened glowing eyes
01:06:46The entire palace came alive
01:06:49The estate recognizes its mistress
01:06:51It never responded to anyone
01:06:53Inside
01:06:54The walls were lined with maps
01:06:56Weapons
01:06:57Military banners
01:06:58Portraits
01:06:59Then my oldest son Cashin stopped walking
01:07:01A painting
01:07:02Not of Darius
01:07:03Of us
01:07:04Me
01:07:05And the triplets
01:07:06My breath caught
01:07:07I had never seen it before
01:07:09Yet somehow
01:07:10Someone had painted
01:07:11Every detail perfectly
01:07:12Cashin picked up a wooden carving
01:07:14A tiny serpent knight
01:07:16Uncle Darius made this
01:07:18What?
01:07:20He always brought us gifts
01:07:21The servants exchanged looks
01:07:23As if they suddenly understood something
01:07:25Something I didn't
01:07:26I entered Darius' study
01:07:28A single sealed letter sat on the desk
01:07:30Addressed to me
01:07:31I broke the seal
01:07:33Leora, if you are reading this
01:07:35Then my brother has failed you
01:07:36I always feared he would
01:07:38Kale mistakes possession for love
01:07:40And one day that mistake
01:07:42Will cost him everything
01:07:43My breath caught
01:07:44I turned the page
01:07:45Another line waited there
01:07:47There is something you deserve to know
01:07:49The day I saw you in the auction arena
01:07:51I
01:07:53My lady
01:07:54The children
01:07:55What happened?
01:07:57It's Lady Isla
01:07:58She's gone to find them
01:08:00You should be grateful
01:08:02Your mother was lucky
01:08:03Anyone wanted her
01:08:04Mum is the best in the world
01:08:06The boy's eyes flashed gold
01:08:08A warning instinct awakened
01:08:10Don't talk about mum
01:08:11This royal heir actually showed
01:08:13Defensive instincts so early
01:08:14That's the crown prince and bloodline
01:08:16The bond mark on my wrist
01:08:17Ignited for a second
01:08:18What happened?
01:08:20It was Kale
01:08:21Isla's face immediately lost colour
01:08:23Kale?
01:08:24The air in the black market arena
01:08:25Was thick with pheromones and iron
01:08:27Humans were omega assets here
01:08:29Displayed inside glass lit cages
01:08:31Like exotic relics
01:08:33Lot 77
01:08:34Omega female
01:08:35Fertility index
01:08:37Exceptional
01:08:38Previously unacclaimed
01:08:39For six months
01:08:40In the omega zone
01:08:41The cage door swings open
01:08:43I am shoved forward
01:08:44Barefoot
01:08:45Heavy iron shackles
01:08:46Clamped around my wrists
01:08:47My expression stays calm
01:08:48Unflinching
01:08:49The traders hated that
01:08:51Most omegas cried
01:08:52When they entered the arena
01:08:53Some begged
01:08:54Some broke
01:08:55But I would never do that
01:08:57The moment I believed
01:08:58They owned me
01:08:59They would truly
01:08:59Chain my soul forever
01:09:00She's
01:09:01Unmarked
01:09:02Impossible
01:09:03That body type survived omega zone
01:09:05She looks expensive
01:09:07And at the centre
01:09:08Serpent King Kale Veereth
01:09:10Half shadowed
01:09:11Immobile
01:09:12Watching
01:09:12His tail curled slowly around the throne
01:09:14Like a living verdict
01:09:15A single flick of his fingers
01:09:17I will take her
01:09:189,800,000 credits
01:09:20Auto accepted
01:09:21No further bids
01:09:22Serpent King claims lot 77
01:09:25At full sovereign price
01:09:27The gavel fell
01:09:28In the serpent world
01:09:30Fertility is a curse
01:09:31Most females never conceive
01:09:33But I gave birth to three serpent heirs at once
01:09:35Cashin, Rowan and Niko
01:09:37Annual mate reconfirmation ceremony
01:09:39The hall was filled with nobles
01:09:41But tonight
01:09:42The king did not stand beside his official mate
01:09:44He holds Isla Saran in his arms
01:09:46Another omega
01:09:47Soft
01:09:48Fragile
01:09:49Familiar
01:09:50Leora Vance is no longer my mate
01:09:52I stood at the far end of the hall
01:09:54His eyes drifted over my body
01:09:55I should never have brought you back from that auction
01:09:57Isla suffered for years because of my mistake
01:10:00You are nothing but a breeding vessel
01:10:02I felt the room waiting for me to crumble
01:10:04To beg
01:10:05To prove him right
01:10:06But I had learned long ago in the omega zone
01:10:09The people who enjoy humiliating you
01:10:11Never stop when you give them tears
01:10:12Are you certain?
01:10:13I am the mother of the Veereth line
01:10:15The kingdom needs me
01:10:16Need you?
01:10:18Those curves
01:10:18That fertility
01:10:19That's all you were
01:10:20You may stay
01:10:22After all
01:10:23You did produce hares
01:10:24But you will no longer be my mate
01:10:27My brother's household still lacks a mate
01:10:29You will be transferred to Darius
01:10:31The lost prince?
01:10:32He's assigning his mate to the vanished war god?
01:10:34Darius Veereth
01:10:34King's brother
01:10:36The kingdom's most feared war god
01:10:38He vanished during the northern campaign
01:10:40But one thing remained unchanged
01:10:41No one had ever dared claim his title
01:10:43The man who had visited too often
01:10:45Even when I was first bought at the auction
01:10:47I remember it now
01:10:49He was there
01:10:50Sitting at the edge of the arena shadows
01:10:52Not bidding
01:10:53Just watching me
01:10:54He wanted me
01:10:55And that scared me more than Kale's cruelty ever did
01:10:58My eyes met Kale's without trembling
01:11:00If I am being transferred like property
01:11:03Then I refuse to belong to anyone who discarded me
01:11:05At the center of the chamber floated an enormous silver scroll
01:11:08Hundreds of glowing names drifted across its surface
01:11:10Every bonded pair in the serpent kingdom
01:11:12King Kale Veereth
01:11:14You are requesting a permanent mate transfer decree?
01:11:18Once removed from the blood scroll
01:11:20This bond can never be restored
01:11:22Do you know how many clans would start a war for an omega like her?
01:11:25She carried triplets and survived
01:11:27That's practically royal blood level
01:11:28Proceed
01:11:29He answered coldly
01:11:30Without looking at me once
01:11:32The elder raised his staff
01:11:33Runes ignited beneath my feet
01:11:35Ancient magic awakened
01:11:37The golden scroll slowly unfurled itself
01:11:39Then my name appeared
01:11:40Leora Vance
01:11:41Mate of Kale Veereth
01:11:43The entire chamber trembled
01:11:45The silver letters of my name began to crack
01:11:47One by one
01:11:49For a second
01:11:50I couldn't breathe
01:11:51I collapsed to my knees
01:11:52As if all the strength had drained out of me
01:11:55A tiny cry suddenly echoed through the hall
01:11:57My children
01:11:58The magic wasn't finished
01:11:59Another line slowly appeared
01:12:01Leora Vance
01:12:02Mate of Darius Veereth
01:12:04Then something unexpected happened
01:12:06Silver flames raced through the names
01:12:08What is happening?
01:12:09The elder's face had gone pale
01:12:12Impossible
01:12:12For the first time all night
01:12:14Kale looked up
01:12:15The moment Prince Darius returns
01:12:17The scroll will complete the claiming ceremony
01:12:19Kale's expression changed
01:12:21He had just given away something he would never get back
01:12:24The next morning
01:12:25The palace servants arrived
01:12:27Not to help me move
01:12:28To remove me
01:12:30Careful with those
01:12:31Anything that belonged to the former mate goes
01:12:33Isla, wearing Kale's royal robes
01:12:36Issued an eviction order against me
01:12:37Former mate
01:12:38The word spread through the courtyard
01:12:40Like a disease
01:12:41Servants avoided my eyes
01:12:43Some looked embarrassed
01:12:45Most looked relieved
01:12:46The king's discarded mate was no longer their concern
01:12:49Isla pointed toward my herb garden
01:12:51Rip it out!
01:12:52It's ugly!
01:12:55Lady Lyra planted those for the royal earth
01:12:57Isla's smile never moved
01:12:59Then plant prettier ones
01:13:00The roots were torn from the earth
01:13:02One by one
01:13:03Mama!
01:13:05It's alright, don't be afraid
01:13:07Then Isla picked up the toy
01:13:09That Kale had carved years ago
01:13:10This junk too
01:13:13The toy hit the ground
01:13:14Crack
01:13:15Enjoy the palace
01:13:17Everything worth having was never yours
01:13:19By sunset
01:13:21I stood outside the palace gates
01:13:24She has nothing
01:13:25Where will she take the heirs?
01:13:27Poor thing
01:13:28Three children
01:13:29No baggage
01:13:30Nowhere to go
01:13:32A horn echoed across the city
01:13:34Once
01:13:34Twice
01:13:35Three times
01:13:36Every head turned
01:13:38Black armored riders entered the capital
01:13:40Elite royal guards
01:13:41The crowd immediately stepped aside
01:13:43The captain dismounted
01:13:45Walked directly toward me
01:13:46Lady Lyra
01:13:47The prince's household has come to escort you home
01:13:51The estate died when the prince vanished
01:13:53Nobody had entered Darius Veritha's estate for years
01:13:56Not since the day he disappeared
01:13:58The gates stood silent
01:13:59Covered in dust
01:14:01Like a tomb
01:14:02The moment I stepped forward
01:14:03The gates swing open on their own
01:14:05Golden light exploded through the estate
01:14:07Gasps everywhere
01:14:08Ancient serpent runes ignited
01:14:10Fountains awakened
01:14:11Statues opened glowing eyes
01:14:13The entire palace came alive
01:14:16The estate recognizes its mistress
01:14:19It never responded to anyone
01:14:21Inside
01:14:22The walls were lined with maps
01:14:23Weapons
01:14:24Military banners
01:14:26Portraits
01:14:27Then my oldest son Cashin stopped walking
01:14:29A painting
01:14:30Not of Darius
01:14:31Of us
01:14:32Me
01:14:33And the triplets
01:14:34My breath caught
01:14:35I had never seen it before
01:14:37Yet somehow
01:14:38Someone had painted every detail perfectly
01:14:40Cashin picked up a wooden carving
01:14:42A tiny serpent knight
01:14:44Uncle Darius made this
01:14:46What?
01:14:47He always brought us gifts
01:14:49The servants exchanged looks
01:14:50As if they suddenly understood something
01:14:53Something I didn't
01:14:54I entered Darius' study
01:14:56A single sealed letter sat on the desk
01:14:58Addressed to me
01:14:59I broke the seal
01:15:01Leora if you are reading this
01:15:02Then my brother has failed you
01:15:04I always feared he would
01:15:05Kale mistakes possession for love
01:15:08And one day that mistake will cost him everything
01:15:10My breath caught
01:15:11I turned the page
01:15:13Another line waited there
01:15:15There is something you deserve to know
01:15:16The day I saw you in the auction arena
01:15:19I
01:15:21My lady
01:15:22The children
01:15:23What happened?
01:15:24It's Lady Isla
01:15:25She's gone to find them
01:15:27You should be grateful
01:15:29Your mother was lucky anyone wanted her
01:15:31Mama is the best in the world
01:15:34The boy's eyes flashed gold
01:15:35A warning instinct awakened
01:15:38Don't talk about mum
01:15:39This royal heir actually showed defensive instinct so early
01:15:42That's the crown prince and bloodline
01:15:43The bond mark on my wrist ignited for a second
01:15:46What happened?
01:15:47It was Kale
01:15:48Isla's face immediately lost colour
01:15:51Kale
01:15:52It happened to her
01:15:52Found
