00:20:50C'est l'invitation, sa vie pour la mummy's vanity.
00:20:53Elle va perdre la tête, sa peau va faller, sa peau va roter, et puis...
00:20:59Et puis quoi ?
00:21:00Chaque eye que voit la photo prend la mummy closer, step par step,
00:21:06jusqu'à elle est hollow.
00:21:08Puis la mummy moves in.
00:21:09Détoyer la photo, maintenant.
00:21:11Elle peut encore avoir une chance.
00:21:14Qui êtes-vous ? Comment vous connaissez-vous ?
00:21:22I have to stop Isabella, before more people see that photo !
00:21:25Extra !
00:21:26Vandervaude Harris stunts New York with mummy photo !
00:21:29Manhattan's very own Cleopatra awakens !
00:21:33Extra ! Read all about it !
00:21:35Hey !
00:21:38No !
00:21:43Told you, one photo, and I'm the queen of Manhattan.
00:21:47Oh my darling, you are the toast of Manhattan right now !
00:21:51You published the photo in the papers ?
00:21:53You have to pull it !
00:21:55Now !
00:21:56Poor thing.
00:21:58The whole city is talking about me now.
00:22:00I must be killing you !
00:22:03Go back to the laundry room !
00:22:05That's where you belong !
00:22:09Every paper.
00:22:11Her photo with the mummy, everywhere.
00:22:14The curse didn't come.
00:22:15Not like I feared.
00:22:17If anything, she became New York's darling.
00:22:19No !
00:22:28Isabella, you're perfect for the lead in Cleopatra.
00:22:31No one else even comes close.
00:22:34My girl was born to be a movie star.
00:22:37Selyse said that photo would bring bad luck.
00:22:39Well, look at me now.
00:22:41New York is at my feet.
00:22:46Still clutching this rag ?
00:22:48You're actually planning to wear that to the ballet premiere ?
00:22:50It's the only one that still fits.
00:22:54Of course it is !
00:22:55I'm on billboards all over New York now.
00:22:57You'll never have a life like this.
00:23:06Keep... going.
00:23:08I need to be... perfect.
00:23:11You're barely breathing, baby.
00:23:13I don't care !
00:23:14I want every woman to hate me for how slim I am !
00:23:19No matter what I say, they just call me jealous.
00:23:22But don't they see it ?
00:23:23She looks like a corpse now !
00:23:28The gypsy said it's a trade.
00:23:31If Isabella is withering away...
00:23:34Then the mummy...
00:23:36Sinister !
00:23:37Sinister !
00:23:40Just a dream.
00:23:41But that rotting smell...
00:23:43Why was it so real ?
00:23:51What is that stench ?
00:23:52I'm drowning in Chanel and I still...
00:23:54That smell...
00:23:55Maybe it's coming from her.
00:23:56That's it !
00:23:57I'm done !
00:24:05Isabella, sweetheart.
00:24:07Don't be upset.
00:24:08Look what I got you.
00:24:10Serpent Queen's kiss ?
00:24:12Only a real queen gets the real thing.
00:24:14Here.
00:24:15Let 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, Salels !
00:24:33You again ?
00:24:34No wonder it stinks around here !
00:24:36Bitch !
00:24:37You really think posing with a mummy makes you an actress ?
00:24:39That's my role !
00:24:40Your role ?
00:24:41You're already washed up, you hag !
00:24:52My hair !
00:24:53What 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've been pushing too hard for the shoot.
00:25:07That's all this is.
00:25:08Her body will waste away.
00:25:10Her hair will fall.
00:25:11Her skin will rot.
00:25:12Her skin will rot.
00:25:12Step by step.
00:25:14Until she's hollow.
00:25:22Look, that's the Cleopatra.
00:25:24God, she's stunning.
00:25:25Yeah.
00:25:26But, I 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 !
00:25:41Isabella ?
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 !
00:25:55I just need to sleep !
00:25:56Leave me alone !
00:26:02What is this ?
00:26:06First the weight.
00:26:07Then the hair.
00:26:08Now the rot.
00:26:08The gypsy's words.
00:26:10They're all coming true.
00:26:11Curse, it's real !
00:26:15What the hell is happening to your hair ?
00:26:17That curse, it's real !
00:26:19Well, shut up !
00:26:20I said I'm just exhausted !
00:26:23Fine !
00:26:24No more shoots, no more movies !
00:26:26Is that what you want ?
00:26:27Get out !
00:26:38Isabella ?
00:26:40I'm sorry !
00:26:41Isabella, wake up !
00:26:47She was here !
00:26:48She dragged me into her tomb !
00:26:50She's going to replace me !
00:26:51Nobody's here !
00:26:53You were choking yourself !
00:26:54Just a nightmare !
00:26:55Lady, come stay with me tonight !
00:26:59Isabella never calls me baby !
00:27:00It's not her !
00:27:04This is the gypsy's cat !
00:27:09Get that damn cat out of here !
00:27:12He sent you here ?
00:27:41Is he really an exorcist ?
00:27:43Or something worse than the curse ?
00:27:45Who's there ?
00:27:56Who's there ?
00:27:57It's you !
00:27:59Not a good idea to be downtown alone at midnight ?
00:28:03It's Isabella !
00:28:04Her hair, her weight !
00:28:07Everything you said, it's all happening !
00:28:10She took something that wasn't hers !
00:28:12Beauty !
00:28:13Fame !
00:28:14Attention !
00:28:15The pharaoh demands balance !
00:28:17Take what is not yours !
00:28:19And doom will follow !
00:28:21My mother used to say the same thing !
00:28:23Who are you ?
00:28:26And even 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 !
00:28:48Helena, really !
00:28:50Next you'll tell me the dead can crawl out of their tombs and attack us !
00:28:58You're mother saved me once !
00:29:00I offer this for her sake !
00:29:01The pharaoh demands balance !
00:29:03Blood for blood !
00:29:04Vanity for mercy !
00:29:06Your sister has to return !
00:29:08Shave her head before the mummy !
00:29:10And beg !
00:29:11That's her last chance !
00:29:13Sacrifice her beauty ?
00:29:14No way !
00:29:15She...
00:29:15No way !
00:29:23So...
00:29:24The one who saved your life !
00:29:26How are you gonna pay it back ?
00:29:29I'm talking about Bastide !
00:29:31If she hadn't showed up !
00:29:33You'd be dead by now !
00:29:36Meow !
00:29:44Thank you Bastide !
00:29:50It's a full moon tonight !
00:29:51Your sister must return to the Sarcolicus !
00:29:54Offer her vanity to the pharaoh !
00:29:56Only then might the curse be lifted !
00:29:58Get me out of here !
00:29:59Her...
00:30:00Her heartbeat !
00:30:01She can't be human !
00:30:05Find another doctor !
00:30:06Now !
00:30:07I don't care how much it costs !
00:30:09My poor girl !
00:30:11What is happening to her ?
00:30:16Isabella !
00:30:17Come with me !
00:30:18Tonight is your only chance to survive !
00:30:26I'm going to be a nut !
00:30:28You two are disgusting !
00:30:29No !
00:30:30My stuff sister, Wendy Liddell, drugged my childhood friend !
00:30:34Here Connor, drink this !
00:30:36It'll help you relax !
00:30:38How can I love when I'm old ?
00:30:42Watching you stand !
00:30:44You stay here with him, Willow !
00:30:45After all, you've always wanted him, haven't you ?
00:30:48All my doubts !
00:30:49What are you doing ?
00:30:53What are you doing ?
00:30:56What are you doing ?
00:30:56What are you doing ?
00:30:58Willow !
00:31:00It hurts !
00:31:03I'm here Connor !
00:31:04I've died every day away !
00:31:06Wendy ran off and married a cruel mafia doom !
00:31:09I got pregnant !
00:31:10At that point, he started to despise me !
00:31:13During the 10 long years of marriage !
00:31:15He treated me and our son coldly !
00:31:18But during...
00:31:19When I next opened my eyes !
00:31:21I found that I had gone back in time !
00:31:23Willow !
00:31:23I had traveled back to the night when Wendy had drugged Connor !
00:31:26and locked me in his room !
00:31:27Help me !
00:31:28Willow !
00:31:29In the previous timeline, I spent the night with him !
00:31:37I'm going to be a nut !
00:31:38You are disgusting !
00:31:39No !
00:31:41After we stopped hitting doing that,
00:31:43she married a mafia darling for us !
00:31:46Soon after that, she passed away in an accident !
00:31:49After I got pregnant, Connor married me out of a sense of responsibility !
00:31:53I'll marry you, Willow !
00:31:54It's the right thing to do !
00:31:56This marriage is just a duty !
00:31:58Don't expect him less than me !
00:32:01Help me !
00:32:02Help me !
00:32:04After all, in the previous timeline,
00:32:06he had sacrificed himself to save me !
00:32:09I had to pay him back for that !
00:32:11The antidote and cold water have helped him regain some of his senses !
00:32:17Where's Wendy ?
00:32:18Don't worry !
00:32:19The driver has sent her home !
00:32:20Good !
00:32:21About tonight...
00:32:23Don't worry !
00:32:23I won't tell anyone what happened !
00:32:27Besides...
00:32:27We didn't do anything !
00:32:29Right ?
00:32:30From the time I was a child !
00:32:32I loved chasing after him !
00:32:34And calling his name !
00:32:35I was his biggest admirer !
00:32:37But now...
00:32:38Everything has changed !
00:32:49Connor isn't feeling well !
00:32:51Please come take care of him !
00:33:01Connor isn't feeling well !
00:33:04Didn't Connor ask you to stay, sis ?
00:33:08Don't call me that !
00:33:10Don't call me that !
00:33:13I'm only calling you that because I pity you !
00:33:16So what 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...
00:33:41You got from me !
00:33:55Willow !
00:33:56What have you done to your sister ?
00:33:58How dare you bully her again !
00:34:01Willow !
00:34:02How long will you act so petrally ?
00:34:05All these years, you've never given me a day of peace !
00:34:12Peace ?
00:34:12Ever since she and her mother came into this house and forced my mother to her death !
00:34:17This family was never destined for peace !
00:34:25I'll fulfill the marriage agreement with that Mafia Don in her rack !
00:34:30I'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 Don !
00:34:41Whose 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 ?
00:34:59You signed the marriage agreement, yet you're still trying to cling to Connor ?
00:35:03He 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 !
00:35:11Willow, 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 !
00:35:18I scoffed internally !
00:35:19He did not seem to know that I was the one going room overseas to fulfill that marriage agreement !
00:35:25If she doesn't go, then I have to !
00:35:28I will plead the case to Mr. Lidler !
00:35:31The 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 ?
00:35:43He must have made you come out here because he's so troubled right now !
00:35:46Go 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 and patted the back of my hand gently !
00:35:57He behaved just as he had when he was a boy !
00:36:00Perhaps 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 from me to take a peek !
00:36:16What are you talking about, Willow ?
00:36:17Haven't I worried about you plenty growing up ?
00:36:19That was true !
00:36:20But 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 !
00:36:32Who 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 would 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, I could not stand the heat of the day and fainted !
00:36:50Willow !
00:36:54Willow !
00:36:57Before I fully lost consciousness, I saw Connor, worriedly, pull me into his embrace !
00:37:04When I woke up, I smelled the hospital's disinfectants !
00:37:08Connor was sleeping in a chair beside the bed !
00:37:11A hand rested on the corner of my blanket !
00:37:13As I looked at him in that state, I would have believed that he really loved me too !
00:37:18If not for his last words in the previous timeline !
00:37:22As if he could sense that I had woken up, Connor quickly awakened as well !
00:37:26What's the matter with you ?
00:37:29I was just telling you to chill out !
00:37:32And you fainted from the heat !
00:37:34Don't you know your body's always been weak ?
00:37:37Connor ?
00:37:38Yeah ?
00:37:39Do you remember the amusement park we always went to as children ?
00:37:43I looked at him and smiled !
00:37:45Take me there one more time please !
00:37:48Connor looked a little displeased !
00:37:50Why are you talking like that ?
00:37:52We can go as many times as you want after we get married in the future !
00:37:58There's no more future for us !
00:38:00Surely it would be a huge surprise to him when Wendy marries him !
00:38:06Let's go this evening !
00:38:07I feel fine now !
00:38:09Alright ! Just this once !
00:38:12After 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 !
00:38:19He returned to the office to handle some matters after making arrangements to meet at the antique me amused rentrance
00:38:24of the amusement park !
00:38:26I went back to my apartment to pack up some things !
00:38:29I looked around the empty room !
00:38:30No one will miss me here !
00:38:33After my mother died, Dad took Wendy and her mother to Little Manor !
00:38:37I moved out !
00:38:38Before Wendy showed up, Connor would make me a carved figurine every year for my birthday !
00:38:43These figurines came in various shapes !
00:38:45One was a dog I used to own !
00:38:47And 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 !
00:38:54When Wendy was taken in !
00:38:56From then on, the figurines went to Wendy !
00:39:00The gifts I got were half-hearted things his assistant bought !
00:39:04I kept the figurine of my mother and myself on my person !
00:39:08The rest were shipped off !
00:39:11Mom !
00:39:12I only have you left !
00:39:14After it was all done, I stood at the rendezvous and waited for Connor !
00:39:18But even after all the lights were turned off at the amusement park !
00:39:21Connor still did not show up !
00:39:23There were also no messages or calls on my phone !
00:39:26It started to rain, but I did not have an umbrella with me !
00:39:30I also did not have a driver to pick me up !
00:39:35He 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 !
00:39:52I 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, something 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 !
00:40:09I'm sorry, Willow !
00:40:10I can't bear to hurt you !
00:40:12But you should not have hurt Wendy !
00:40:13You must remember this lesson well !
00:40:15Why was Connor acting like he could not bear to hurt me ?
00:40:18When 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, Connor would visit me often to look after me !
00:40:30I had even given him a key !
00:40:31He got a doctor to make a house call !
00:40:33After the doctor made sure I was okay, Connor 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 !
00:40:48But there will not be any weddings !
00:40:50I 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 !
00:40:59The figurine of my mother was still there !
00:41:01Thankfully, the door was suddenly flipped open !
00:41:04Wendy 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 to fulfill that marriage agreement !
00:41:25Or, that you wanted to say goodbye to him last night !
00:41:29All I said to him was that you went home, threw another tantrum, and pushed me into the pool !
00:41:36After that, he arranged for someone to kidnap you to punish you !
00:41:41I paid the kidnappers extra so they would keep dunking you into the waters !
00:41:46You poor thing, Willow !
00:41:49Shut up !
00:41:51Aren'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 ?
00:42:09Didn'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 and came to the apartment to look for me, the place was blanketed
00:42:22in darkness !
00:42:23He felt a sense of unease rise within him, and 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 !
00:42:45She said she was willing to go overseas to fulfill the marriage agreement !
00:42:48Father, I shall travel overseas to honor the betrothal !
00:42:51By now !
00:42:53It was the day you were outside the manor together !
00:42:55You young people !
00:42:57All of you are so impulsive !
00:42:58I thought Willow told you about it !
00:43:00It's a big deal after all !
00:43:04Afterward, he called Wendy to come over !
00:43:06Connor, I can tell that you like Wendy !
00:43:07I've decided to play matchmaker and set you two up !
00:43:11Connor had thought about this many times !
00:43:13If not for his marriage agreement with Willow, he would want to marry Wendy !
00:43:18What consumed his mind was 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 was their marriage agreement, was it not ?
00:43:28However, for some reason, his heart hurt !
00:43:31He 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 to go to the amusement park together !
00:43:45Connor contacted his executive assistant, the Norbley Sistensi to Sistries Jukirin Grace !
00:43:50Book me a seat on the earliest flight to Herat tomorrow !
00:43:53But sir, Mr. Gordon has asked you to go home to discuss the matter of your engagement with Wendy Little
00:43:58!
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 snuggled up with Willow on that couch, watching movies !
00:44:14He had also cooked for her in that kitchen when she was sick !
00:44:17He pushed open the door to the study !
00:44:19In a beautiful jewelry box were 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 was the figurine of her and her mother !
00:44:39He still remembered when Willow's mother passed away !
00:44:42He did not sleep for three days and three nights to carve that figurine !
00:44:45When he had given it to Willow, her ever-determined pisauld broke !
00:44:49And her eyes had been filled with tears !
00:44:51Had she taken it away with her ?
00:44:53Did she still care for him ?
00:44:54His tired eyes landed on a shard of something by the couch !
00:44:58He carefully picked it up !
00:44:59He was sure that he recognized it !
00:45:01It was a piece of the figurine of Willow and her mother !
00:45:04It 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 !
00:45:13Are you here to look for the lady who lived here ?
00:45:20Tell me kid !
00:45:21What 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 !
00:45:27Have you seen her kid ?
00:45:28Lots of people came here last night !
00:45:30They were so scary !
00:45:31They 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 !
00:45:47It was her !
00:45:59At the graduation banquet someone suggested playing the heartbeat resonance challenge !
00:46:03The rules were simple !
00:46:04If 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 !
00:46:13My secret boyfriend of three years !
00:46:14My heart resonance hit 150 !
00:46:16Lucian showed 70 !
00:46:18He 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 !
00:46:26Damn !
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 !
00:46:33Tonight, 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 !
00:46:41His academic rival !
00:46:42The two argued every time they met !
00:46:44Every one expected another disaster !
00:46:45Then they looked at each other !
00:46:46The crystal flashed !
00:46:48Serafina's reading hit 160 !
00:46:50Lucian's hit 163 !
00:46:51The hall erupted !
00:46:52No freaking way ! They hate each other !
00:46:54This is fate !
00:46:56Both of them immediately demanded another test !
00:46:58But the students surrounded them !
00:47:00Cheering 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 !
00:47:08After I enter Imperial College in !
00:47:09We'll get back together !
00:47:10I refuse to lose to Serafina !
00:47:12I stared at the message !
00:47:13After a moment, I replied !
00:47:14For the entire summer !
00:47:16I had struggled over whether to tell him about my overseas application to Arcadia Academy !
00:47:20Now I didn't have to !
00:47:21The banquet grew louder !
00:47:22Lucian and Serafina were pushed into the center of the room !
00:47:26The two who fought non-stop every day were both bright red right now !
00:47:29Lucian draped an arm around Serafina's shoulder !
00:47:32We'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 !
00:47:37Someone suddenly pointed at me !
00:47:38Wait !
00:47:39What about Elena ?
00:47:40Her resonance with Lucian was the highest after theirs !
00:47:42She couldn't even look him in the eye !
00:47:44All eyes turned toward me !
00:47:45Lucian glanced over !
00:47:46She's just a friend !
00:47:48Not 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 !
00:47:55How'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 !
00:48:02Every 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 !
00:48:08He 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 !
00:48:13Pin me against alley walls to kiss me !
00:48:14Whenever I was upset, he'd pull me tight to comfort me !
00:48:17Elena Hart likes Lucian Ashcroft !
00:48:18That was the oldest joke in the Academy !
00:48:20Lucian Ashcroft is Elena Hart's boyfriend !
00:48:22That was a secret !
00:48:23Only I knew !
00:48:24The banquet ended after midnight !
00:48:25Rain poured across the Academy grounds !
00:48:27Students hurried toward the portal station !
00:48:28I opened my umbrella !
00:48:30Before I could leave !
00:48:30Lucian snatched it from my hand !
00:48:32Elena !
00:48:32Serafina and I don't have one !
00:48:34We'll borrow yours !
00:48:34Before I could answer !
00:48:35Serafina smiled !
00:48:36Thanks Elena !
00:48:36We'll return it tomorrow !
00:48:38Lucian 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 !
00:48:46I don't even like you !
00:48:47Their voices faded !
00:48:48Only I noticed that the umbrella leaned almost entirely toward Serafina !
00:48:51Lucian's own shoulder was soaked !
00:48:52One by one !
00:48:53Everyone left !
00:48:54Nobody 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 !
00:49:01He knew nobody would stay behind for me !
00:49:02Yet he still took my umbrella !
00:49:04And left me there !
00:49:04Alone !
00:49:05He had promised that after graduation !
00:49:06We'd finally tell everyone the truth !
00:49:08Instead !
00:49:09I got a break up !
00:49:09And another girl took my place !
00:49:11My phone suddenly rang !
00:49:12Calling from overseas !
00:49:13It was my mother !
00:49:17Linnum !
00:49:17If you still wanna stay here and attend Imperial Collium that's okay too !
00:49:20We trust Lucian !
00:49:21If you're together your father and I won't object !
00:49:23I closed my eyes !
00:49:24Cold rain struck my face !
00:49:28Mom !
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 I was soaked from head to toe !
00:49:36A notification chimed !
00:49:37Lucian never posted on social media !
00:49:38But he just updated his profile !
00:49:40Introducing my girlfriend Serafinovel !
00:49:41The photo showed Lucian with an arm draped around Serafina's shoulders !
00:49:44He was grinning !
00:49:45She was glaring at him !
00:49:46The comments exploded instantly !
00:49:48I knew it !
00:49:49The Academy's favorite enemies to lovers couple !
00:49:51About time !
00:49:52I kept scrolling !
00:49:53Then I saw a new comment !
00:49:54Poor Elena !
00:49:55She must be crying right now !
00:49:57Why ?
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 !
00:50:03Unflattering ones !
00:50:04The same jokes !
00:50:04The same mockery !
00:50:05I locked my screen and 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 !
00:50:11Lucian was brilliant and handsome !
00:50:12The top ranked mage in our academy !
00:50:14I was ordinary and forgettable !
00:50:15The girls hated that I grew up beside him !
00:50:16The boys never missed a chance to make fun of me !
00:50:18They came up with all kinds of cruel nicknames !
00:50:20Manaless groupie !
00:50:22At the academy !
00:50:23Lucian never got close to me !
00:50:24But whenever someone picked on me !
00:50:25He was always the first to step in !
00:50:26The worst time !
00:50:27He got into a fight with a group of boys because of me !
00:50:29He nearly got suspended !
00:50:30I cried the entire time I cleaned and bandaged his wounds !
00:50:33My heart hurt too much for words !
00:50:34Not long after that !
00:50:35We started dating in secret !
00:50:36Back then !
00:50:37I truly believed I was different !
00:50:38That I meant something to him !
00:50:39Everything changed when Serafina transferred here !
00:50:42She was a gifted mage !
00:50:43Beautiful and powerful !
00:50:44Right after she arrived !
00:50:45She knocked Lucian off his spot as top student !
00:50:47He could never stand to lose !
00:50:48He began bickering with her !
00:50:50Competing in mage rankings and tournament points !
00:50:52The loser had to obey whatever the winner said !
00:50:55The entire academy shipped them together !
00:50:57Every time someone mentioned it !
00:50:59Lucian rolled his eyes and complained !
00:51:00But I noticed things nobody else did !
00:51:02The way his gaze followed her during presentations !
00:51:05The way he secretly left healing potions for her after training !
00:51:08The way he pushed her harder whenever she wanted to give up !
00:51:10At the time !
00:51:11I convinced myself it meant nothing !
00:51:13Then came the final rankings before graduation !
00:51:15Serafina dropped several places !
00:51:17For 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 !
00:51:25Skipped our dates !
00:51:26Spent every afternoon in the library with her !
00:51:28One day I asked if I could join them !
00:51:30Elena !
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 !
00:51:39Yet they drew a line between us !
00:51:41Still he smiled afterward !
00:51:42Be patient !
00:51:43After graduation we'll tell everyone about us !
00:51:46But the promise to go public made me wait willingly for such a long time !
00:51:49I could ignore everything as long as he came back to me !
00:51:51But it suddenly dawned on me today !
00:51:52It was never only the other students who looked down on me !
00:51:55Lucian was one of them too !
00:51:56Rain 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 !
00:52:04I had the comments delighted !
00:52:05The post wasn't serious !
00:52:06Don't overthink it !
00:52:07He reached for my hand !
00:52:08I 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 I froze !
00:52:16Serafina was there !
00:52:17She handed me my umbrella !
00:52:18Thanks !
00:52:18Lucian forgot to return it !
00:52:20Mrs. Ashcroft appeared !
00:52:21Elena !
00:52:22You're here !
00:52:23This kid hid his girlfriend for this long !
00:52:26Lucian shot me a look !
00:52:27A warning !
00:52:27Don't say anything !
00:52:28I nodded !
00:52:29At dinner Mrs. Ashcroft beamed at Serafina's grades !
00:52:32You two are perfect !
00:52:33My son should be with someone outstanding !
00:52:36My grip on the fork tightened !
00:52:37Lucian changed the subject !
00:52:39I'm going to Imperial College !
00:52:40You Serafina ?
00:52:41Obviously !
00:52:42I'm not letting you beat me !
00:52:43They looked at each other !
00:52:44Like they belonged in the same world !
00:52:46Mrs. Ashcroft turned to me !
00:52:47Elena !
00:52:48What about you ?
00:52:49Serafina answered first !
00:52:50Imperial might be difficult for Elena !
00:52:52But she can try somewhere nearby !
00:52:54Before the breakup !
00:52:54That had been my plan !
00:52:56Not anymore !
00:52:56I haven't decided yet !
00:52:58Lucian's expression darkened !
00:52:59My phone buzzed !
00:53:00What do you mean ?
00:53:01We were supposed to go together !
00:53:02We'll get back together !
00:53:03I didn't reply !
00:53:04After dinner !
00:53:05Mrs. Ashcroft handed Lucian cash !
00:53:07Take your girlfriend somewhere nice !
00:53:08Serafina laughed !
00:53:09You should come too Elena !
00:53:11We're all friends !
00:53:12Superiority laced with pity !
00:53:14The same look Lucian always gave me !
00:53:16Coming ?
00:53:16No !
00:53:17I think I'm getting sick !
00:53:18You two go !
00:53:19The tension on his face vanished !
00:53:20Alright !
00:53:21He left with Serafina !
00:53:22Hand in hand !
00:53:23I watched their fingers intertwine !
00:53:24And suddenly thought of that game !
00:53:26Maybe I'd already lost from the very beginning !
00:53:28At the graduation banquet !
00:53:29Someone suggested playing the heartbeat resonance challenge !
00:53:32The rules were simple !
00:53:33If a boy and girl's heartbeat resonance both 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 !
00:53:53Lucian doesn't even react to her !
00:53:54Damn !
00:53:55That'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 !
00:54:04Instead he was doing everything he could to draw a line between us !
00:54:07The second round began !
00:54:08Lucian was paired with Serafina Vale !
00:54:10His academic rival !
00:54:11The 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 !
00:54:20The hall erupted !
00:54:21No freaking way !
00:54:22They hate each other !
00:54:22This is fate !
00:54:25Both 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 !
00:54:32My phone vibrated !
00:54:33A private message from Lucian !
00:54:34Elena, let's break up for now !
00:54:36Just two months !
00:54:37After I enter Imperial College and we'll get back together !
00:54:39I 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 !
00:54:51Lucian 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 !
00:55:00Ahem !
00:55:00We've been together less than a day !
00:55:02It's just a contract !
00:55:03We'll break up in two months !
00:55:04The cheering only got louder !
00:55:05Someone suddenly pointed at me !
00:55:07Wait !
00:55:07What 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 !
00:55:15She's just a friend !
00:55:16Not my type !
00:55:17Just a friend !
00:55:18That one sentence erased everything we'd ever had !
00:55:20The joke started immediately !
00:55:21So what if they grew up together ?
00:55:23She's so plain !
00:55:23How'd she ever think Lucian would like her ?
00:55:25Lucian's the Academy's golden boy !
00:55:27She never had a chance !
00:55:28I lowered my gaze !
00:55:29I had heard these words for years !
00:55:31Every one at the Mage Academy knew I liked Lucian !
00:55:33I 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 !
00:55:39Off 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 !
00:55:49Lucian Ashcroft is Elena Hart's boyfriend !
00:55:51That was a secret !
00:55:52Only I knew !
00:55:52The banquet ended after midnight !
00:55:54Rain 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 !
00:56:01Elena !
00:56:01Serafina and I don't have one !
00:56:02We'll borrow yours !
00:56:03Before I could answer !
00:56:04Serafina smiled !
00:56:05Thanks Elena !
00:56:05We'll return it tomorrow !
00:56:06Lucian was already pulling her away !
00:56:08As they disappeared into the rain !
00:56:09I heard them arguing !
00:56:10Don't flatter yourself Serafina !
00:56:12Two months !
00:56:12Then we're done !
00:56:14Good !
00:56:14I don't even like you !
00:56:15Their voices faded !
00:56:16Only I noticed that the umbrella leaned almost entirely toward Serafina !
00:56:19Lucian's own shoulder was soaked !
00:56:21One by one !
00:56:22Everyone left !
00:56:22Nobody asked how I would get home !
00:56:24I 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 !
00:56:37Instead !
00:56:37I got a break up !
00:56:38And another girl took my place !
00:56:40My phone suddenly rang !
00:56:41Calling from overseas !
00:56:42It was my mother !
00:56:45Linnom !
00:56:46If you still want to stay here and attend Imperial Collium !
00:56:48That's okay too !
00:56:49We trust Lucian !
00:56:50If you're together !
00:56:50Your father and I won't object !
00:56:52I closed my eyes !
00:56:53Cold rain !
00:56:54Struck my face !
00:56:56Mom !
00:56:58I've made my decision !
00:56:59Please process my enrollment paperwork !
00:57:01I'm going to Arcadia Academy !
00:57:02When I got home I 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 !
00:57:09Introducing my girlfriend Serafinovel !
00:57:10The photo showed Lucian with an arm draped around Serafina's shoulders !
00:57:13He was grinning !
00:57:14She was glaring at him !
00:57:15The comments exploded !
00:57:16Instantly !
00:57:17I knew it !
00:57:17The Academy's favorite enemies to lovers couple !
00:57:20About time !
00:57:21I kept scrolling !
00:57:22Then I saw a new comment !
00:57:23Poor Elena !
00:57:24She must be crying right now !
00:57:26Why ?
00:57:26She never stood a chance !
00:57:27Lucian was way out of her league !
00:57:29More comments followed !
00:57:30Some 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 and dropped onto the couch !
00:57:36Tears blurred my vision !
00:57:37Out of your league !
00:57:38I'd heard those words for years !
00:57:39Lucian was brilliant and handsome !
00:57:41The 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 !
00:57:49Maniless groupie !
00:57:50At the academy !
00:57:51Lucian never got close to me !
00:57:52But whenever someone picked on me !
00:57:54He was always the first to step in !
00:57:55The worst time !
00:57:56He got into a fight with a group of boys because of me !
00:57:58He nearly got suspended !
00:57:59I cried the entire time I cleaned and bandaged his wounds !
00:58:02My heart hurt too much for words !
00:58:03Not long after that !
00:58:04We started dating in secret !
00:58:05Back then !
00:58:06I 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 !
00:58:14She knocked Lucian off his spot as top student !
00:58:16He could never stand to lose !
00:58:17He began bickering with her !
00:58:18Competing in mage rankings and tournament points !
00:58:21The loser had to obey whatever the winner said !
00:58:23The entire academy shipped them together !
00:58:26Every time someone mentioned it !
00:58:27Lucian rolled his eyes and complained !
00:58:29But I noticed things nobody else did !
00:58:31The 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 !
00:58:39At the time !
00:58:40I convinced myself it meant nothing !
00:58:41Then came the final rankings before graduation !
00:58:44Serafina dropped several places !
00:58:45For the first time Lucian didn't celebrate finishing first !
00:58:48Instead he spent every spare moment helping her prepare for the final mage examination !
00:58:52He 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 !
00:59:02You wouldn't understand !
00:59:03The words hit harder than he realized !
00:59:05You wouldn't understand !
00:59:06Just one sentence !
00:59:07Yet they drew a line between us !
00:59:09Still he smiled afterward !
00:59:11Be 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 !
00:59:21It was never only the other students who looked down on me !
00:59:23Lucian was one of them too !
00:59:25Rain tapped against the windows !
00:59:26I cried myself to sleep !
00:59:27Morning came !
00:59:28The storm was gone !
00:59:29The doorbell rang !
00:59:31Lucian stood outside !
00:59:32Elena !
00:59:32I had the comments delighted !
00:59:34The post wasn't serious !
00:59:35Don'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 !
00:59:43At the Ashcroft estate, I froze !
00:59:45Serafina was there !
00:59:46She handed me my umbrella !
00:59:47Thanks !
00:59:47Lucian forgot to return it !
00:59:49Mrs. Ashcroft appeared !
00:59:50Elena !
00:59:51You'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 !
00:59:58At dinner, Mrs. Ashcroft beamed at Serafina's grades !
01:00:01You 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, him !
01:00:09You Serafina ?
01:00:10Obviously !
01:00:11I'm not letting you beat me !
01:00:12They looked at each other !
01:00:13Like they belonged in the same world !
01:00:14Mrs. Ashcroft turned to me !
01:00:16Elena !
01:00:17What about you ?
01:00:18Serafina answered first !
01:00:19Imperial might be difficult for Elena !
01:00:21But she can try somewhere nearby !
01:00:22Before the break up !
01:00:23That had been my plan !
01:00:24Not anymore !
01:00:25I haven't decided yet !
01:00:26Lucian's expression darkened !
01:00:28My phone buzzed !
01:00:29What do you mean ?
01:00:29We were supposed to go together !
01:00:31We'll get back together !
01:00:32I didn't reply !
01:00:33After dinner, Mrs. Ashcroft handed Lucian cash !
01:00:36Take your girlfriend somewhere nice !
01:00:37Serafina laughed !
01:00:38You should come too, Elena !
01:00:40We're all friends !
01:00:41Superiority laced with pity !
01:00:43The same look Lucian always gave me !
01:00:44Coming ?
01:00:45No !
01:00:46I think I'm getting sick !
01:00:47You two go !
01:00:48The tension on his face vanished !
01:00:49Alright !
01:00:50He left with Serafina, hand in hand !
01:00:52I watched their fingers intertwine !
01:00:53And suddenly thought of that game !
01:00:55Maybe I'd already lost from the very beginning !
01:00:57The air in the black market arena was thick with pheromones and iron !
01:01:00Humans were Omega assets here !
01:01:02Displayed inside glass lit cages like exotic relics !
01:01:05Lot 77 !
01:01:07Omega female !
01:01:08Fertility index !
01:01:09Exceptional !
01:01:11Previously unacclaimed for six months in the Omega zone !
01:01:14The cage door swings open !
01:01:16I am shoved forward, barefoot, heavy iron shackles clamped around my wrists !
01:01:20My expression stays calm, unflinching !
01:01:22The traders hated that !
01:01:23Most Omegas cried when they entered the arena !
01:01:26Some begged !
01:01:27Some broke !
01:01:28But I would never do that !
01:01:30The moment I believed they owned me !
01:01:31They would truly chain my soul forever !
01:01:33She's...
01:01:34Unmarked ?
01:01:35Impossible !
01:01:36That body type survived Omega zone !
01:01:38She looks expensive !
01:01:39And at the center !
01:01:41Serpent King Kael Veereth !
01:01:42Half shadowed !
01:01:44Immobile !
01:01:44Watching !
01:01:45His tail curled slowly around the throne like a living verdict !
01:01:48A single flick of his fingers !
01:01:50I will take her !
01:01:519,800,000 credits !
01:01:53Auto accepted !
01:01:54No further bids !
01:01:55Serpent King claims lot 77 at full sovereign price !
01:02:00The gavel fell !
01:02:01In the serpent world, fertility is a curse !
01:02:04Most females never conceive !
01:02:05But I gave birth to three serpent heirs at once !
01:02:08Kashin, Rowan and Niko !
01:02:10Annual mate reconfirmation ceremony !
01:02:12The hall was filled with nobles !
01:02:14But tonight !
01:02:15The king did not stand beside his official mate !
01:02:17He holds Isla Saran in his arms !
01:02:19Another Omega !
01:02:20Soft !
01:02:21Fragile !
01:02:22Familiar !
01:02:23Leora 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 !
01:02:33You are nothing but a breeding vessel !
01:02:35I felt the room waiting for me to crumble !
01:02:37To beg !
01:02:38To 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 !
01:02:45Are you certain ?
01:02:46I am the mother of the Virith line !
01:02:48The kingdom needs me !
01:02:49Need you ?
01:02:50Those curves !
01:02:51That fertility !
01:02:52That's all you were !
01:02:53You may stay !
01:02:55After all !
01:02:56You did produce hairs !
01:02:57But you will no longer be my mate !
01:02:59My brother's household still lacks a mate !
01:03:02You will be transferred to Darius !
01:03:04The Lost Prince ?
01:03:05He'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 !
01:03:13But one thing remained unchanged !
01:03:14No one had ever dared claim his title !
01:03:16The man who had visited too often !
01:03:18Even when I was first bought at the auction !
01:03:20I remember it now !
01:03:21He was there !
01:03:23Sitting at the edge of the arena shadows !
01:03:25Not bidding !
01:03:26Just watching me !
01:03:27He wanted me !
01:03:28And that scared me more than Kale's cruelty ever did !
01:03:31My eyes met Kale's without trembling !
01:03:33If I am being transferred like property !
01:03:35Then I refuse to belong to anyone who discarded me !
01:03:38At the center of the chamber floated an enormous silver scroll !
01:03:41Hundreds of glowing names drifted across its surface !
01:03:43Every bonded pair in the serpent kingdom !
01:03:45King Kale Veeroth !
01:03:47You are requesting a permanent mate transfer decree ?
01:03:50Once removed from the blood scroll !
01:03:53This bond can never be restored !
01:03:55Do you know how many clans would start a war for an Omega like her ?
01:03:58She carried triplets and survived !
01:04:00That's practically royal blood level !
01:04:01Proceed !
01:04:02He answered coldly !
01:04:03Without looking at me once !
01:04:04The elder raised his staff !
01:04:06Runes ignited beneath my feet !
01:04:08Ancient magic awakened !
01:04:09The golden scroll slowly unfurled itself !
01:04:12Then my name appeared !
01:04:13Leora Vance !
01:04:14Mate of Kale Veeroth !
01:04:16The entire chamber trembled !
01:04:18The silver letters of my name began to crack !
01:04:20One by one !
01:04:21For a second !
01:04:22I couldn't breathe !
01:04:24I 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 !
01:04:30My children !
01:04:31The magic wasn't finished !
01:04:32Another line slowly appeared !
01:04:34Leora Vance !
01:04:35Mate of Darius Veeroth !
01:04:37Then something unexpected happened !
01:04:39Silver flames raced through the manes !
01:04:41What is happening ?
01:04:42The elder's face had gone pale !
01:04:44Impossible !
01:04:46For the first time all night !
01:04:47Kale looked up !
01:04:48The moment Prince Darius returns the scroll will complete the claiming ceremony !
01:04:52Kale's expression changed !
01:04:54He had just given away something he would never get back !
01:04:57The next morning !
01:04:58The palace servants arrived !
01:05:00Not to help me move !
01:05:01To remove me !
01:05:02Careful with those !
01:05:04Anything that belonged to the former mate goes !
01:05:06Isla, wearing Kale's royal robes, issued an eviction order against me !
01:05:10Former mate !
01:05:11The word spread through the courtyard !
01:05:13Like a disease !
01:05:14Servants avoided my eyes !
01:05:16Some looked embarrassed !
01:05:18Most looked relieved !
01:05:19The king's discarded mate was no longer their concern !
01:05:22Isla pointed toward my herb garden !
01:05:24Rip it out !
01:05:25It's ugly !
01:05:27Lady Leora planted those for the royal heirs !
01:05:30Isla's smile never moved !
01:05:32Then plant prettier ones !
01:05:33The roots were torn from the earth !
01:05:35One by one !
01:05:36Mama !
01:05:38It's alright !
01:05:39Don't be afraid !
01:05:40Then 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 !
01:05:53By sunset !
01:05:54I stood outside the palace gates !
01:05:57She has nothing !
01:05:58Where will she take the heirs ?
01:05:59Poor thing !
01:06:01Three children !
01:06:02No baggage !
01:06:03Nowhere to go !
01:06:04A horn echoed across the city !
01:06:07Once !
01:06:07Twice !
01:06:08Three times !
01:06:09Every head turned !
01:06:11Black armored riders entered the capital !
01:06:13Elite royal guards !
01:06:14The crowd immediately stepped aside !
01:06:16The captain dismounted !
01:06:18Walked directly toward me !
01:06:19Lady Leora !
01:06:20The prince's household has come to escort you home !
01:06:23The estate died when the prince vanished !
01:06:26Nobody had entered Darius Veritha's estate for years !
01:06:29Not since the day he disappeared !
01:06:31The gates stood silent !
01:06:32Covered in dust !
01:06:33Like a tomb !
01:06:34The moment I stepped forward !
01:06:36The gates swing open on their own !
01:06:37Golden light exploded through the estate !
01:06:40Gasps everywhere !
01:06:41Ancient serpent runes ignited !
01:06:43Fountains awakened !
01:06:44Statues opened glowing eyes !
01:06:46The entire palace came alive !
01:06:48The estate recognizes its mistress !
01:06:52It never responded to anyone !
01:06:54Inside !
01:06:55The walls were lined with maps !
01:06:56Weapons !
01:06:57Military banners !
01:06:59Portraits !
01:06:59Then my oldest son Cashin stopped walking !
01:07:02A painting !
01:07:03Not of Darius !
01:07:04Of us !
01:07:05Me !
01:07:05And the triplets !
01:07:07My breath caught !
01:07:08I had never seen it before !
01:07:10Yet somehow !
01:07:11Someone had painted every detail perfectly !
01:07:13Cashin picked up a wooden carving !
01:07:15A tiny serpent knight !
01:07:17Uncle Darius made this !
01:07:19What ?
01:07:20He always brought us gifts !
01:07:22The servants exchanged looks !
01:07:23As if they suddenly understood something !
01:07:25Something I didn't !
01:07:27I entered Darius' study !
01:07:29A single sealed letter sat on the desk !
01:07:31Addressed to me !
01:07:32I broke the seal !
01:07:34Leora if you are reading this !
01:07:35Then my brother has failed you !
01:07:37I always feared he would !
01:07:39Kale mistakes possession for love !
01:07:41And one day that mistake will cost him everything !
01:07:43My breath caught !
01:07:44I turned the page !
01:07:46Another line waited there !
01:07:47There is something you deserve to know !
01:07:49The day I saw you in the auction arena !
01:07:52I-
01:07:53My lady !
01:07:55The children !
01:07:56What 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 anyone wanted her !
01:08:05Mum 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 !
01:08:12This royal heir actually showed defensive instinct so early !
01:08:14That's the crown prince and bloodline !
01:08:16The bond mark on my wrist ignited for a second !
01:08:19What happened ?
01:08:20It was Kale !
01:08:21Isla's face immediately lost colour !
01:08:24Kale !
01:08:24The air in the black market arena was thick with pheromones and iron !
01:08:28Humans were omega assets here !
01:08:30Displayed inside glass lit cages like exotic relics !
01:08:32Lot 77 !
01:08:35Omega female !
01:08:36Fertility index !
01:08:37Exceptional !
01:08:38Previously unacclaimed for six months in the omega zone !
01:08:42The cage door swings open !
01:08:43I am shoved forward !
01:08:44Barefoot !
01:08:45Heavy iron shackles clamped around my wrists !
01:08:47My expression stays calm !
01:08:49Unflinching !
01:08:50The traders hated that !
01:08:51Most omegas cried when they entered the arena !
01:08:53Some begged !
01:08:55Some broke !
01:08:56But I would never do that !
01:08:57The moment I believed they owned me !
01:08:59They would truly chain my soul forever !
01:09:01She's... unmarked ?
01:09:03Impossible !
01:09:04That body type survived omega zone !
01:09:06She looks expensive !
01:09:07And at the center !
01:09:08Serpent King Kale Veereth !
01:09:10Half shadowed !
01:09:11Immobile !
01:09:12Watching !
01:09:13His tail curled slowly around the throne like a living verdict !
01:09:16A single flick of his fingers !
01:09:18I will take her !
01:09:199,800,000 credits !
01:09:21Auto accepted !
01:09:21No further bids !
01:09:23Serpent King claims lot 77 at full sovereign price !
01:09:27The gavel fell !
01:09:29In the serpent world, fertility 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 !
01:09:45He holds Isla Saran in his arms !
01:09:47Another omega !
01:09:48Soft !
01:09:49Fragile !
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 !
01:09:56I should never have brought you back from that auction !
01:09:58Isla 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 !
01:10:05To beg !
01:10:06To prove him right !
01:10:07But 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 !
01:10:13Are you certain ?
01:10:14I am the mother of the Virith line !
01:10:15The kingdom needs me !
01:10:17Need you ?
01:10:17Those curves !
01:10:19That fertility !
01:10:20That's all you were !
01:10:21You may stay !
01:10:22After all !
01:10:23You did produce hairs !
01:10:25But 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 Virith !
01:10:35King'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 !
01:10:42No one had ever dared claim his title !
01:10:44The man who had visited too often !
01:10:46Even when I was first bought at the auction !
01:10:48I 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 !
01:10:55He wanted me !
01:10:56And that scared me more than Kale's cruelty ever did !
01:10:58My eyes met Kale's without trembling !
01:11:01If I am being transferred like property !
01:11:02Then 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 !
01:11:11Every bonded pair in the serpent kingdom !
01:11:13King Kale Virith !
01:11:14You are requesting a permanent mate transfer decree ?
01:11:18Once removed from the blood scroll !
01:11:21This bond can never be restored !
01:11:22Do you know how many clans would start a war for an Omega like her ?
01:11:26She carried triplets and survived !
01:11:27That's practically royal blood level !
01:11:29Proceed !
01:11:29He answered coldly !
01:11:31Without looking at me once !
01:11:32The elder raised his staff !
01:11:34Runes ignited beneath my feet !
01:11:36Ancient magic awakened !
01:11:37The golden scroll slowly unfurled itself !
01:11:39Then my name appeared !
01:11:41Leora Vance !
01:11:42Mate of Kale Virith !
01:11:43The entire chamber trembled !
01:11:45The silver letters of my name began to crack !
01:11:48One by one !
01:11:49For a second !
01:11:50I couldn't breathe !
01:11:51I collapsed to my knees !
01:11:53As 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 !
01:12:00Another line slowly appeared !
01:12:02Leora Vance !
01:12:03Mate of Darius Virith !
01:12:05Then something unexpected happened !
01:12:07Silver flames raced through the names !
01:12:09What is happening ?
01:12:10The elder's face had gone pale !
01:12:12Impossible !
01:12:13For the first time all night !
01:12:15Kale looked up !
01:12:16The moment Prince Darius returns the scroll will complete the claiming ceremony !
01:12:20Kale'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 !
01:12:29To remove me !
01:12:30Careful with those !
01:12:31Anything that belonged to the former mate goes !
01:12:34Isla, wearing Kale's royal robes, issued an eviction order against me !
01:12:38Former mate !
01:12:39The word spread through the courtyard !
01:12:41Like a disease !
01:12:42Servants avoided my eyes !
01:12:44Some looked embarrassed !
01:12:45Most looked relieved !
01:12:47The 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 Leora planted those for the royal heirs !
01:12:58Isla's smile never moved !
01:12:59Then plant prettier ones !
01:13:01The roots were torn from the earth !
01:13:03One by one !
01:13:04Mama !
01:13:05It's alright !
01:13:06Don't be afraid !
01:13:07Then Isla picked up the toy !
01:13:09That Kale had carved years ago !
01:13:11This junk too !
01:13:13The toy hit the ground !
01:13:15Crack !
01:13:16Enjoy the palace !
01:13:17Everything worth having was never yours !
01:13:20By sunset !
01:13:22I 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 !
01:13:30No baggage !
01:13:31Nowhere to go !
01:13:32A horn echoed across the city !
01:13:34Once !
01:13:35Twice !
01:13:36Three times !
01:13:37Every head turned !
01:13:38Black armored riders entered the capital !
01:13:40Elite royal guards !
01:13:42The crowd immediately stepped aside !
01:13:44The captain dismounted !
01:13:45Walked directly toward me !
01:13:47Lady Leora !
01:13:48The prince's household has come to escort you home !
01:13:51The estate died when the prince vanished !
01:13:54Nobody had entered Darius Veritha's estate for years !
01:13:57Not since the day he disappeared !
01:13:58The gates stood silent !
01:14:00Covered in dust !
01:14:01Like a tomb !
01:14:02The moment I stepped forward !
01:14:04The gates swing open on their own !
01:14:05Golden light exploded through the estate !
01:14:07Gasps everywhere !
01:14:09Ancient serpent runes ignited !
01:14:10Fountains awakened !
01:14:12Statues opened glowing eyes !
01:14:14The 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 !
01:14:24Weapons !
01:14:25Military banners !
01:14:26Portraits !
01:14:27Then my oldest son Cashin stopped walking !
01:14:29A painting !
01:14:30Not of Darius !
01:14:32Of us !
01:14:32Me !
01:14:33And the triplets !
01:14:34My breath caught !
01:14:36I had never seen it before !
01:14:37Yet somehow !
01:14:38Someone had painted every detail perfectly !
01:14:41Cashin picked up a wooden carving !
01:14:43A 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 !
01:14:51As 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 !
01:15:03Then my brother has failed you !
01:15:04I always feared he would !
01:15:06Kale mistakes possession for love !
01:15:08And one day that mistake will cost him everything !
01:15:11My breath caught !
01:15:12I turned the page !
01:15:13Another line waited there !
01:15:15There is something you deserve to know !
01:15:17The day I saw you in the auction arena !
01:15:19I-
01:15:21My lady !
01:15:22The children !
01:15:24What happened ?
01:15:25It's Lady Isla !
01:15:26She's gone to find them !
01:15:28You should be grateful !
01:15:30Your mother was lucky anyone wanted her !
01:15:32Mum is the best in the world !
01:15:34The boy's eyes flashed gold !
01:15:36A 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 !
01:15:44The bond mark on my wrist ignited for a second !
01:15:46What happened ?
01:15:47It was Kale !
01:15:49Isla's face immediately lost color !
01:15:51Kale !
01:15:52Kale !
