Transcript

00:00:00I lay on the stone bed of the sacred infirmary, trembling violently.

00:00:05Every doctor in the Wind Kingdom was on edge for my sake.

00:00:09Yet my husband, Lord Ronan, was nowhere to be seen.

00:00:15I was used to his coldness.

00:00:18But at this moment, having gambled my life and burned my manna to bear this child,

00:00:25a ridiculous shred of hope still flickered in my heart.

00:00:28Years ago, when I was in a desperate situation, the young Ronan saved my life.

00:00:36That kindness became my lifelong obsession.

00:00:39But he had no idea that I was the sole pure-blooded daughter of the High Elfin King.

00:00:49When I met with disaster in my youth, I was rescued by him,

00:00:54the lord of a mere mid-tier Elfin Kingdom.

00:00:58To repay that debt, I concealed my supreme identity.

00:01:02Even using a forbidden ritual to seal away the radiant wings of nature on my back

00:01:09that symbolized supreme divine authority,

00:01:13I willingly became an ordinary female elf with no background,

00:01:17marrying into his territory.

00:01:19Under a false name for years, I remained gentle and submissive,

00:01:24using my own pure-blooded manna to nourish his family,

00:01:29all for a sliver of his affection.

00:01:35Yet, I could never warm a heart of stone.

00:01:38In Ronan's heart, there was only ever room for his first love,

00:01:44Vanessa.

00:01:48The agony intensified,

00:01:50as the mana and bloodlines within my body surged in a violent reverse flow.

00:01:56But I held on to my last strength.

00:01:58Yet, all that arrived was a cold, ruthless message from a guard.

00:02:04My lady, the lord is busy with official matters and cannot come.

00:02:08Please deliver the child on your own,

00:02:10and do not delay the lord's business.

00:02:12At that moment, a self-deprecating laugh escaped my lips.

00:02:16This life of mine and the child in my womb

00:02:19never mattered to him.

00:02:21After an entire day and night of deathly struggle,

00:02:24a soft, fragile wile finally shattered the silence of the infirmary.

00:02:29This was my daughter,

00:02:31a precious treasure,

00:02:33bought at the cost of all my manna.

00:02:36I named her Iris.

00:02:39At that exact moment,

00:02:41my personal guard rushed in to report.

00:02:43My lady!

00:02:44The lord has finished his external affairs,

00:02:47and has returned to the main manor in his unicorn sacred carriage.

00:02:50Within my deadland heart,

00:02:52a tiny spark suddenly ignited.

00:02:54I instinctively assumed that no matter how cold or selfish he might be,

00:02:58at least he would at least want to look at his newborn flesh and blood.

00:03:01Forcing my exhausted, severely depleted body up,

00:03:03I carefully held my daughter in her swaddling clothes,

00:03:06making my way toward the promenade of the main temple to see my husband.

00:03:09But just as I reached the promenade

00:03:11and looked through the lush courtyard of the sacred elven tree,

00:03:14I froze instantly,

00:03:16the blood in my veins turning to ice.

00:03:18My husband stood there,

00:03:21tall and elegant in his black robes,

00:03:23and right beside him stood a woman,

00:03:25the first love he had yearned for and never forgotten.

00:03:27It was Vanessa.

00:03:28What struck me like a bolt from the blue

00:03:30was that in front of them stood a little elfin boy,

00:03:32roughly three years old,

00:03:34with long pointed ears and a pair of eyes

00:03:36that flashed with a cunning disguised as inonence.

00:03:39Countless absurd possibilities flashed through my mind.

00:03:42My hands shook uncontrollably from shock and rage,

00:03:45but I forced myself to stand my ground,

00:03:48enduring the tearing pain of the postpartum mana reverse flow.

00:03:52Vanessa looked up and spotted me,

00:03:54her mouth curving into a flitting, provocative smirk.

00:03:56She intentionally leaned closer into Ronan's embrace,

00:04:00her voice soft yet dripping with malice.

00:04:02Ronan.

00:04:03So she's the one who stole my man and my title while I was away?

00:04:07Tenderness instantly flooded Ronan's eyes

00:04:10as he wrapped his arm around her.

00:04:12He comforted her softly,

00:04:14even placing a lingering kiss upon her forehead,

00:04:17right in front of me.

00:04:19When he turned to me,

00:04:20his tone was piercingly cold and dismissive.

00:04:24Think nothing of it, Vanessa.

00:04:26You are my true love.

00:04:30I have never loved her.

00:04:31She is nothing more than a tool to manage the tribe.

00:04:36Ronan, look closely.

00:04:38This is the daughter I just risked my life to give you.

00:04:41Look at her, she was just born.

00:04:42Look how beautiful she is.

00:04:44Ronan cast a brief, indifferent glance downward.

00:04:46In his eyes,

00:04:47there was not a shred of paternal emotion,

00:04:49only naked disgust and annoyance.

00:04:52He swiftly averted his gaze,

00:04:53as though looking at his own flesh and blood

00:04:55for even a second longer,

00:04:56would defile his relationship with Vanessa.

00:04:58Vanessa's gaze locked onto the infant in my arms,

00:05:02a flash of venom crossing her eyes.

00:05:04Promptly, she lifted her pitiful face,

00:05:07gazing up at Ronan with a trembling sob.

00:05:10Ronan, she has already born a child for the tribe.

00:05:13Then what about our Jasper?

00:05:14He followed me,

00:05:16wandering among foreign kingdoms,

00:05:17and suffered for three long years.

00:05:20He is your eldest son,

00:05:22the future heir of the Wind Kingdom.

00:05:24Looking at that three-year-old elfin child

00:05:25clinging to their side,

00:05:27I felt as if my soul had been struck by lightning.

00:05:30It turned out that my suspicion was actually the truth.

00:05:33What exactly is going on here?

00:05:36Ronan looked down at me,

00:05:38entirely devoid of guilt,

00:05:40and let out a righteous, cold snot.

00:05:43Good, you saw it.

00:05:44Saves me the trouble of explaining.

00:05:45When Vanessa left three years ago,

00:05:47she was already pregnant with my child!

00:05:48For these three years,

00:05:49she raised Jasper alone among foreign kingdoms,

00:05:51enduring endless grievance.

00:05:52Now that she has returned,

00:05:53I must make it then properly,

00:05:55restoring everything that belongs to them

00:05:56a thousand times over!

00:05:59I stared at the picture-perfect family of three before me,

00:06:03as a boundless despair

00:06:05swallowed me like a tidal wave.

00:06:07Just as I was on the verge of collapsing,

00:06:10Ronan's mother, Elodie,

00:06:11walked over hoarsely,

00:06:13flanked by attendants.

00:06:15Three-year-old Jasper was incredibly sweet-talked,

00:06:17twitching his delicate little elven ears.

00:06:19He immediately ran over on his short legs,

00:06:21and tightly hugged Elodie's leg.

00:06:25Grandma!

00:06:26I finally get to see you!

00:06:29Mother said you are the most benevolent

00:06:31and noble elder

00:06:33in the entire kingdom!

00:06:36Elodie,

00:06:37who was extremely superstitious about bloodlines and male esters,

00:06:40melted instantly.

00:06:42She gathered Jasper into her arms,

00:06:45treating him like her ultimate treasure.

00:06:47Seizing the moment,

00:06:49Vanetha leaned into Ronan's embrace,

00:06:51weeping with feigned grievance.

00:06:54It's all my fault!

00:06:56If I had been stronger!

00:06:58Your perfect grandson

00:07:00wouldn't have spent three years

00:07:02starving in exile!

00:07:04Elodie's heart ached for them.

00:07:06She snapped her head around to look at me

00:07:08with my deathly pale face,

00:07:11and my weakly wailing daughter,

00:07:13her eyes instantly turning into daggers

00:07:16of piercing disgust.

00:07:18You nearly died

00:07:19just to produce

00:07:21a magicless, useless girl?

00:07:25What a pathetic waste!

00:07:27Pack up that defective brat

00:07:29and drag yourselves

00:07:31to the Wythen Tower at the border

00:07:32right now!

00:07:34I won't let you bring your bad luck

00:07:35near my precious grandson!

00:07:39Ronan!

00:07:40Ronan!

00:07:40Iris is your flesh and blood, too!

00:07:44How can you just let them

00:07:46trample all over us?

00:07:49But Ronan's face remained

00:07:50completely indifferent,

00:07:52his tone dripping with disdain.

00:07:54Mother is right.

00:07:56Jasper is the future,

00:07:58and hope of Wind Kingdom.

00:08:01The daughter you gave birth to

00:08:03has a dull divine mark.

00:08:06She is utterly unworthy

00:08:08of living in the main manor.

00:08:12Going to the tower

00:08:14is your only option.

00:08:17Vanessa threw a provocative

00:08:18glance my way,

00:08:19squeezing her throat

00:08:20to spit out the most poison words.

00:08:23Loser.

00:08:24Since you possess

00:08:25no noble bloodline,

00:08:27staying here

00:08:28will only bring you

00:08:29self-inflicted humiliation.

00:08:32Looking at their hypocritical,

00:08:33I clenched my fingers,

00:08:35and the very last ember

00:08:37of gratitude within me

00:08:38was completely extinguished.

00:08:41The cold wind

00:08:42wowed through the withered tower,

00:08:44a place that never saw

00:08:46a single ray of moonlight.

00:08:48I held my frail

00:08:49little daughter close,

00:08:51huddling in the corner

00:08:52of the freezing stone wall.

00:08:54Having barely survived

00:08:56childbirth,

00:08:56and with my mana

00:08:58completely burned out,

00:09:00my chest felt as if it

00:09:01were being torn apart.

00:09:03By ten thousand winds,

00:09:06just when I was

00:09:08completely helpless

00:09:09and desperate,

00:09:10the heavy wooden door

00:09:12of the tower

00:09:12was suddenly pushed open,

00:09:15and Ronan walked in,

00:09:17silhouetted against the light.

00:09:19In that single instant,

00:09:21a ridiculous shred of hope

00:09:23actually flared up once more

00:09:26in my deadland heart.

00:09:28He was the child's father.

00:09:30Had he finally softened

00:09:32coming to bring some mana

00:09:33to ward off the cold,

00:09:36or to take my daughter

00:09:37and me back,

00:09:38forcing my mana

00:09:39depleased body up,

00:09:41my pale lips trembled.

00:09:43Did you come to see Iris?

00:09:45She caught a chill,

00:09:47and the divine mark

00:09:48on her forehead

00:09:49is growing weaker and weaker.

00:09:52Please, save her.

00:09:53But before I could

00:09:54even get close,

00:09:57Ronan took a disgusted

00:09:58step backward.

00:09:59Serafana.

00:10:00As if the child and I

00:10:02were some kind of...

00:10:02I only came here

00:10:03to warn you.

00:10:06Stay in your withered tower

00:10:07quietly.

00:10:08Sign this declaration

00:10:09relinquishing your rights

00:10:10as the primary mistress,

00:10:11and don't try

00:10:11any clever tricks.

00:10:13I felt as though

00:10:14I had been struck

00:10:15by lightning,

00:10:16taking a shocked step back.

00:10:18I stared firmly

00:10:19at the man.

00:10:20I had loved

00:10:21with my very life

00:10:22for three years.

00:10:24You came all the way

00:10:25to this desolate place,

00:10:27not to cast a single glance

00:10:29at your own daughter,

00:10:31but merely to force me

00:10:32to give up my position

00:10:34and to warn me.

00:10:36Ronan let out

00:10:37a cold laugh,

00:10:38his eyes filled

00:10:39with arrogance

00:10:40and a fierce protectiveness

00:10:42for Vanessa.

00:10:43Vanessa is kind-hearted.

00:10:46And she suffered terribly.

00:10:49While wandering

00:10:50among foreign kingdoms

00:10:51with our child,

00:10:52I will not allow anyone

00:10:53to disrupt

00:10:54Jasper's upbringing.

00:10:56being, I am warning you.

00:10:59Put away that jealous face

00:11:01of yours.

00:11:02Stay where you belong.

00:11:04And do not provoke

00:11:05Vanessa and her son

00:11:06if I discover

00:11:08that you dare

00:11:08to secretly harm them

00:11:12or attempt to steal

00:11:13the resources

00:11:14that belong to Jasper.

00:11:16I will absolutely show you

00:11:18I will absolutely show you

00:11:18no mercy!

00:11:19In the darkness,

00:11:20my daughter let out

00:11:21a faint,

00:11:22protesting cry.

00:11:23Ronan, however,

00:11:24did not bother

00:11:25to spare even a glance

00:11:26from the corner of his eye.

00:11:27He turned

00:11:28and departed resolutely,

00:11:30the heavy iron door

00:11:31slamming shut

00:11:31with a resounding thud.

00:11:33holding my child,

00:11:34I collapsed into the freezing mud,

00:11:36laughing at my own stupidity.

00:11:38He came only to warn me.

00:11:41The night sky hung low

00:11:42as the freezing wind raged

00:11:44through the dead silence

00:11:46of the withered tower,

00:11:47preventing even a single

00:11:48slimmer of moonlight

00:11:49from penetrating the darkness.

00:11:51I had burned through

00:11:52the vast majority

00:11:53of my mana during childbirth.

00:11:55The magic within my body

00:11:56had completely dried up.

00:11:57I could only hold

00:11:58my little princess

00:11:59tightly in my arms,

00:12:00using my own faint body wheat

00:12:02to provide warmth

00:12:02for my infant,

00:12:03who was running

00:12:04a continuous low fever

00:12:05inside her swaddling clothes.

00:12:07Yet at this very moment,

00:12:09inside the Wind Kingdom's

00:12:10main temple,

00:12:11there was a completely

00:12:12different scene

00:12:13of brilliant lights,

00:12:15music,

00:12:16and extravagant luxury.

00:12:18Vanessa and her son

00:12:19sat on a soft couch

00:12:20covered in the rarest

00:12:21luminescent beast skins,

00:12:22basking in the attention

00:12:23and adoration

00:12:24of all the high-ranking elves

00:12:26in the kingdom.

00:12:27Three-year-old Jasper

00:12:29fluttered the tiny green

00:12:30elven wings

00:12:30that had just begun

00:12:31to develop on his back,

00:12:32holding an exquisite

00:12:33elven sacred berry

00:12:34in his hands,

00:12:35his face completely

00:12:36smeared with juice.

00:12:38Ilaida sat high

00:12:38upon her throne,

00:12:40grinning from ear to ear,

00:12:42her eyes overflowing

00:12:43with a dotting pride.

00:12:44Watching this warm

00:12:45and harmonious scene,

00:12:47the more Ilaida

00:12:48looked at this chubby grandson,

00:12:49the more pleasing

00:12:50he seemed to her eye.

00:12:51Stroking the staff

00:12:52that symbolized her power

00:12:53as the high priestess,

00:12:55she impatiently turned

00:12:56to prompt my husband,

00:12:57Ronan,

00:12:57who was standing beside her.

00:12:58Ronan,

00:12:59Vanessa and her son

00:13:01have wandered

00:13:01among foreign kingdoms

00:13:02for years,

00:13:03enduring endless hardships.

00:13:05Now my precious eldest grandson

00:13:07is already three years old,

00:13:09and the wind-attributed mana

00:13:10within his body

00:13:11is so abundant.

00:13:13How can he continue

00:13:15to stay in the guest room

00:13:16so illegitimately?

00:13:17Tonight,

00:13:18you must have Vanessa

00:13:19and Jasper

00:13:20officially move

00:13:21into the Lord's main manon,

00:13:23into the bedchambers

00:13:24that rightfully belong

00:13:25to the primary mistress

00:13:26and the heir!

00:13:27Ronan lowered his eyes,

00:13:28looking at Vanessa's

00:13:30adoration-filled face,

00:13:31as she leaned coyly

00:13:32against him,

00:13:33and then at the child,

00:13:34who was sweetly

00:13:35calling him father.

00:13:36The scales in his heart

00:13:37had already tipped completely.

00:13:39Without a shred

00:13:40of hesitation,

00:13:41he nodded his agreement

00:13:42coldly on the spot.

00:13:43Mother is right.

00:13:45The best location

00:13:46in the main manor

00:13:47should naturally be reserved

00:13:48for the heir

00:13:49who truly carries

00:13:50the excellent bloodline

00:13:51of our kingdom.

00:13:53Seeing her son

00:13:53agree so readily,

00:13:55Aloy's face flushed

00:13:56with even more delight.

00:13:57Standing up hauntily

00:13:58while leaning on her staff,

00:13:59she addressed all

00:14:00the tribal high officials

00:14:01present in a grand,

00:14:03supreme tone.

00:14:04Not only that,

00:14:05Wind Kingdom has thrived

00:14:06to this day

00:14:07and our bloodline

00:14:08is supreme.

00:14:09Jasper is exceptionally bright,

00:14:11displaying astonishing

00:14:11magical talent

00:14:12at such a tender age.

00:14:13He deserves the recognition

00:14:14of all kingdoms!

00:14:16I propose that in three days,

00:14:18we hold the most grand

00:14:19and magnificent

00:14:19official announcement

00:14:20celebration

00:14:21for three-year-old Jasper.

00:14:23We shall high-profilely

00:14:24declare him

00:14:25as the primary heir

00:14:26of our Wind Kingdom's future!

00:14:29In three days,

00:14:30Jasper would be declared

00:14:31the primary heir.

00:14:32Following her move

00:14:33into the main manor,

00:14:35Vanessa began to carry herself

00:14:36entirely as the queen

00:14:37of the Wind Kingdom.

00:14:38Dressed in extravagant silks,

00:14:39she glided through the temple

00:14:40flanked by her entourage,

00:14:42soaking in the endless,

00:14:43shallow flattery.

00:14:44Yet a stubborn sliver

00:14:46of anxiety remained

00:14:46buried deep in her chest.

00:14:48Whenever night fell,

00:14:49she would catch Ronin

00:14:50standing on the balcony,

00:14:51staring with a conflicted expression

00:14:52towards that dark,

00:14:53desolate,

00:14:54withered tower.

00:14:55Though he spoke

00:14:55with absolute coldness,

00:14:57subconsciously,

00:14:57he still harbored

00:14:58a faint trace of worry

00:14:59for my baby and me,

00:15:00a worry he refused

00:15:01to admit even to himself.

00:15:03This lingering gaze

00:15:04made Vanessa's jealous

00:15:05and paranoia grow wild.

00:15:08As long as my daughter

00:15:09and I were breathing,

00:15:10her position

00:15:11and Jasper's future

00:15:12would never be safe.

00:15:13An opportunity presented itself

00:15:14sooner than expected.

00:15:16Early this morning,

00:15:17desperate to give

00:15:17my frail daughter

00:15:18a single drop

00:15:19of clean water,

00:15:20my completely helpless self

00:15:21was forced to drag

00:15:22my broken body

00:15:23out of the tower,

00:15:24heading deep into the woods

00:15:25to harvest pure spring water

00:15:26filtered by ancient

00:15:27divine marks.

00:15:28Learning of this,

00:15:29Vanessa's eyes

00:15:30turned ice cold.

00:15:31She knew her moment

00:15:32had arrived.

00:15:33She quietly dismissed

00:15:34the guards

00:15:35around the main manor,

00:15:36taking only a few

00:15:37of her most ruthlessest

00:15:38confidence

00:15:39as she slipped

00:15:40into the dark,

00:15:41abandoned withered tower.

00:15:42The wooden door

00:15:43creaked open,

00:15:44letting in the piercing chill.

00:15:46Vanessa stepped

00:15:47over the debris,

00:15:48advancing slow pace

00:15:50by slow pace

00:15:51until she stopped

00:15:52right in front

00:15:52of the primitive stone bed.

00:15:54Inside her swaddling clothes,

00:15:56newborn Iris

00:15:56was sleeping soundly.

00:15:58Though her little face

00:15:59was pale,

00:15:59the faint golden divine mark

00:16:01shimmering on her forehead

00:16:02radiated an undeniable

00:16:03nobility and purity,

00:16:05a mark that made

00:16:06Vanessa's eyes burn

00:16:07with pure envy.

00:16:08You pathetic little freak.

00:16:11You think you're worthy

00:16:12of Ronan's blood?

00:16:14If you want to blame anyone,

00:16:16blame your useless mother.

00:16:18The mask of innocence

00:16:19slipped from Vanessa's face,

00:16:21her eyes twisting

00:16:22with pure malice.

00:16:23From her wide sleeve,

00:16:25she slowly pulled out

00:16:27a porcelain vial

00:16:28that emitted

00:16:29an eerie green glow.

00:16:30Inside was a forbidden,

00:16:32lethal toxin

00:16:33she had purchased

00:16:33at an exorgent price

00:16:34from the black market.

00:16:36Soul-eating elixir,

00:16:37specifically designed

00:16:38to dissolve

00:16:39a newborn elf's mana core

00:16:41and cause their soul

00:16:42to rot away inch by inch.

00:16:44With a trembling hand,

00:16:45she popped the cork

00:16:46and violently clamped

00:16:48her fingers

00:16:48over my baby's

00:16:49fragile jaw.

00:16:50The sharp pain

00:16:52forced my sleeping princess

00:16:53to snap her eyes open,

00:16:55letting out a weak,

00:16:57agonizing cry.

00:16:58But Vanessa

00:16:59was entirely unfazed.

00:17:01With a distorted,

00:17:02demonic sneer,

00:17:03she forced the entire

00:17:04bottle of icy,

00:17:05corrosive poison

00:17:06straight down

00:17:07my infant's tender throat.

00:17:08When I returned

00:17:09to the Withered Tower,

00:17:11thoroughly exhausted,

00:17:12and clutching

00:17:14that tiny container

00:17:15of pure spring water

00:17:16tightly to my chest,

00:17:17what greeted me

00:17:18was not the gentle sound

00:17:19of my daughter's breathing,

00:17:20but a deathly silence.

00:17:22My heart skipped a beat

00:17:25and a boundless panic

00:17:26instantly seized me

00:17:28in a death grip.

00:17:30I practically crawled

00:17:31and scrambled my way

00:17:33toward that freezing stone bed.

00:17:37Iris!

00:17:39Mommy is back.

00:17:41The moment my trembling hands

00:17:43pulled back the swaddling clothes,

00:17:45the sight before me

00:17:46caused me to drop

00:17:47into an abyss of ice.

00:17:51Her originally pink little face

00:17:53was now completely white,

00:17:57even faintly tinged

00:17:59with an eerie, sickly green,

00:18:01deathly energy.

00:18:02What truly shattered my soul

00:18:04was that the faint

00:18:05golden elven divine mark

00:18:06on her forehead,

00:18:07which had been flickering softly,

00:18:09was now darkened

00:18:12across a massive area.

00:18:14Iris!

00:18:17Wake up!

00:18:20Look at Mommy!

00:18:21Don't scare Mommy!

00:18:23Sprinting once more

00:18:24toward the Wind Kingdom's

00:18:27infirmary,

00:18:30I slammed the infirmary

00:18:32doors open

00:18:33with immense force.

00:18:34The sitting doctor

00:18:36took one look

00:18:37at the infant in my arms,

00:18:38who was hanging

00:18:39onto life

00:18:40by a mere thread,

00:18:41and his face

00:18:42instantly changed color.

00:18:44His hands trembled

00:18:46as he probed

00:18:47the fluctuations

00:18:48within my daughter's body,

00:18:50his eyes filling

00:18:50with horror.

00:18:53Heavens!

00:18:54This is the forbidden poison

00:18:56that destroys

00:18:57the mana core!

00:18:59The child's natural core

00:19:00is withering away,

00:19:02inch by inch.

00:19:03She is in critical danger

00:19:05and will not survive

00:19:06past half a month.

00:19:07The doctor's words

00:19:08were like a massive hammer,

00:19:09smashing my heart

00:19:10to the point

00:19:11where I wished

00:19:12I could die

00:19:14on the spot.

00:19:15To suppress

00:19:16this aggressive toxin,

00:19:18we must immediately

00:19:20inject

00:19:20a powerful,

00:19:22compatible mana

00:19:23from her father's kingdom

00:19:25to protect her heart path.

00:19:28Otherwise,

00:19:28trembling,

00:19:30I closed my eyes,

00:19:31disregarding any cost.

00:19:33I forcibly reversed

00:19:34the remaining essence

00:19:35within my body,

00:19:36frantically activating

00:19:37the soul transmission

00:19:38unique to the elven race.

00:19:40A connection

00:19:41never lightly opened

00:19:42unless it was a matter

00:19:43of life or death.

00:19:45Rowan!

00:19:45Save our daughter!

00:19:47Save our daughter!

00:19:48From the other end,

00:19:49there was only

00:19:50a deathly silence,

00:19:51followed by a completely

00:19:52heartless rejection.

00:19:54Rowan had actually

00:19:55severed my soul transmission,

00:19:57treating my soul cry

00:19:58for hair

00:19:59entirely as nothing.

00:20:04Rowan!

00:20:05I beg you,

00:20:08connect to me.

00:20:13Save Iris.

00:20:14I knelt on the freezing floor

00:20:16of the infirmary,

00:20:17sending out the soul transmission

00:20:18over and over again,

00:20:20even though maintaining it

00:20:21for every additional second

00:20:22brought a tearing,

00:20:23agonizing pain

00:20:24to my dried up

00:20:24sea of consciousness.

00:20:25I refuse to let go.

00:20:28At this moment,

00:20:29inside the Wind Kingdom's

00:20:30main manor,

00:20:32Ronan was patiently

00:20:33keeping Vanessa

00:20:34and her son company.

00:20:35Three-year-old Jasper,

00:20:37dressed in a luxurious

00:20:38outfit embroidered

00:20:39with green leaves

00:20:40and gold thread,

00:20:41was pulling back

00:20:42a delicate short

00:20:43wooden monobow.

00:20:47When he hit the bullseye,

00:20:49it drew bursts of gasps

00:20:51and praise

00:20:52from the surrounding

00:20:53attendants,

00:20:54perhaps perturbed

00:20:55and annoyed

00:20:56by my weeping,

00:20:57blood-soaked pleas

00:20:58that continuously

00:20:59echoed in his mind

00:21:01like an act

00:21:02of self-mutilation

00:21:03after coldly

00:21:04cutting it off

00:21:05over a dozen times.

00:21:06Ronan finally

00:21:07accepted the connection.

00:21:09His phantom projection

00:21:10materialized in midair,

00:21:12looking down

00:21:13at my battered

00:21:13and wretched form

00:21:14from a great height,

00:21:15his eyes filled

00:21:16with absolute impatience

00:21:18and disgust.

00:21:19Seraphana,

00:21:20haven't you thrown

00:21:22enough of a tantrum?

00:21:23Is the soul transmission

00:21:24something you use

00:21:27as a prop

00:21:28to throw jealous fits?

00:21:30Ronan,

00:21:31no,

00:21:32Iris has been poisoned.

00:21:33Her mana core

00:21:34is about to shatter

00:21:35and the doctor said

00:21:36we must have

00:21:37the compatible mana

00:21:38from your body

00:21:38immediately

00:21:39to protect her heart path.

00:21:41I beg you,

00:21:43come and see her.

00:21:45Poisoned?

00:21:46The moment Vanessa

00:21:47and Jasper

00:21:48move into the main house,

00:21:50you begin fabricating

00:21:52such an absurd lie.

00:21:54Are you trying

00:21:54to curse my heir?

00:21:55I am not lying!

00:21:58She is really

00:22:00about to die.

00:22:04Enough!

00:22:07I know you are resentful

00:22:08because you gave birth

00:22:11to a daughter

00:22:13and your position

00:22:14as the Lord's Concord

00:22:15is insecure.

00:22:16But I am warning you,

00:22:19do not use a child

00:22:21as an excuse

00:22:24to disturb me.

00:22:27Jasper has to try

00:22:28on his robes

00:22:29for the dawn celebration

00:22:30in a moment.

00:22:30I have no time

00:22:34to play mad

00:22:35with you.

00:22:38Dropping these piercingly

00:22:40cold words,

00:22:41Ronion did not wait

00:22:42for me

00:22:43to utter another syllable

00:22:44before callously

00:22:46cutting off

00:22:47the soul transmission

00:22:48with a wave

00:22:48of his hand.

00:22:50The phantom projection

00:22:52in midair

00:22:53dissolved instantly

00:22:54and along with it,

00:22:56the very last shred

00:22:58of my hope

00:22:58was crushed

00:23:00to pieces.

00:23:02After the soul transmission

00:23:04was severed,

00:23:05Ronion stared

00:23:05at his empty palm,

00:23:06his brow frowned

00:23:07tightly together.

00:23:08Even though he utterly

00:23:09detested Serafina's

00:23:10jealous fits,

00:23:11he hearing a word

00:23:12like dying

00:23:12still caused a faint

00:23:14inexplicable wave

00:23:15of irritation

00:23:15and uneasiness

00:23:16to ripple through

00:23:17the depths of his heart.

00:23:18Vanessa,

00:23:18who was watching

00:23:19from the side,

00:23:20keenly captured

00:23:21the shift

00:23:22in Ronion's expression.

00:23:23A flash of panic

00:23:25crossed her eyes,

00:23:26but it was quickly

00:23:27replaced

00:23:28by a profound,

00:23:29calculating look.

00:23:30Vanessa stepped

00:23:31forward gently,

00:23:32considerably smoothing

00:23:33out the wrinkles

00:23:34on Ronion's groves

00:23:35as she spoke

00:23:35in a strained,

00:23:36high-pitched voice.

00:23:38Ronion,

00:23:38the primary mistress

00:23:39wept so heartbreakingly

00:23:40during the soul transmission.

00:23:41It has left my heart

00:23:42in a bit of a flutter

00:23:43as well.

00:23:44How about

00:23:44we go to the infirmary

00:23:46to take a look right now?

00:23:47After all,

00:23:48the little princess

00:23:49is also your flesh and blood.

00:23:50We absolutely mustn't

00:23:52let anything terrible happen.

00:23:54Seeing Vanessa

00:23:54being so magnumence

00:23:55and understanding,

00:23:56the irritation

00:23:57in Ronion's heart

00:23:58dissipated quite a bit

00:23:59and he nodded immediately.

00:24:01Very well.

00:24:03We will do as you say.

00:24:04I want to see

00:24:06what kind of trick

00:24:07she can fabric.

00:24:09Then I will go prepare

00:24:10some mana spring water

00:24:10to soothe the child's mind.

00:24:13Wait for me a moment.

00:24:15Vanessa turned around

00:24:16and the moment

00:24:16she was at an angle

00:24:17where Ronion

00:24:18could not see her,

00:24:19the tenderness

00:24:19on her face

00:24:20stently transformed

00:24:21into a twisted,

00:24:22venomous malice.

00:24:23She did not go

00:24:23to prepare any spring water.

00:24:25Instead,

00:24:25she dispatched

00:24:26Trust Vicent

00:24:27carrying heavy gold

00:24:28mana crystals

00:24:29to secretly bribe

00:24:30the doctor

00:24:31who had received Iris.

00:24:32When Vanessa

00:24:33accompanied Ronion

00:24:33and arrived at the infirmary

00:24:35in a hurried rush,

00:24:36she took advantage

00:24:37of a gap

00:24:37while Ronion was speaking

00:24:38with the nurses outside,

00:24:39using the excuse

00:24:40of checking in,

00:24:41first to stealthily slip

00:24:42into the patient room

00:24:43ahead of him,

00:24:44entirely unnoticed.

00:24:46Staring at the infant

00:24:47on the hospital bed

00:24:48who was hanging

00:24:48onto life

00:24:49by a mere thread,

00:24:51the divine mark

00:24:52on her forehead

00:24:52flickering erratly.

00:24:53She ruthless gleam

00:24:55flashed through

00:24:55Vanessa's eye.

00:24:58She pulled

00:24:59an advanced,

00:25:00consecutive

00:25:00illusion potion

00:25:02from her sleeve,

00:25:03a formula capable

00:25:04of temporarily

00:25:05suppressing toxicity

00:25:06and forging

00:25:07a false

00:25:08appearance

00:25:09of health.

00:25:09Pinching

00:25:10the little princess'

00:25:11delicate neck,

00:25:11she poured

00:25:12the illusion potion

00:25:13down

00:25:13without the slightest

00:25:14hesitation.

00:25:16The instant

00:25:16the illusion potion

00:25:17entered her mouth,

00:25:18the sickly green

00:25:19deathly energy

00:25:20on the little princess's

00:25:21face began

00:25:22to recede rapidly

00:25:23and the divine mark

00:25:24that was on the verge

00:25:25of cracking

00:25:26eerily smoothed over.

00:25:29Even her burning

00:25:30body temperature

00:25:31began to return

00:25:31to normal

00:25:32at a rapid pace.

00:25:34Aside from falling

00:25:34into a deep slumber,

00:25:36she looked exactly

00:25:37like a healthy infant

00:25:38who had merely

00:25:39caught an ordinary chill

00:25:40and was sleeping

00:25:41peacefully.

00:25:43The moment Ronan

00:25:44pushed open the door

00:25:45to the patient room,

00:25:46I was collapsed

00:25:48by the bedside,

00:25:48my eyes filled

00:25:49with absolute disbelief

00:25:51as I stared

00:25:52at my daughter.

00:25:53Just moments ago

00:25:54after Vanessa

00:25:55came in,

00:25:56under a false pretext,

00:25:57the deathly energy

00:25:59on Iris' face

00:26:00suddenly vanished.

00:26:01Even her shriveled,

00:26:03divine mark

00:26:04smoothed out.

00:26:06Ronan stepped forward

00:26:07with a freezing expression.

00:26:12He only touched

00:26:13her forehead.

00:26:16Irissa,

00:26:17her temperature

00:26:18was normal,

00:26:19her breathing

00:26:19was steady.

00:26:22Then he whipped

00:26:23his head around

00:26:24staring dead

00:26:25at my deathly

00:26:26pale face.

00:26:27His voice

00:26:28was sharp,

00:26:30cutting,

00:26:30and poisoned.

00:26:32Seraphana!

00:26:33This is the

00:26:34life-threatening

00:26:35danger you spoke of?

00:26:37This is the

00:26:38shattered core

00:26:39you claimed?

00:26:41Her temperature

00:26:42is normal,

00:26:43her breathing

00:26:44is steady.

00:26:45As the Lord's

00:26:46Concord,

00:26:46you dared

00:26:47to deceive me.

00:26:49Using your

00:26:50newborn daughter

00:26:51as bait

00:26:51for a jealous tantrum.

00:26:54You disgust me.

00:26:56Looking at

00:26:57his furious face,

00:26:58my entire body

00:26:59turned cold.

00:27:00No!

00:27:01Ronan,

00:27:01listen to me!

00:27:02Just moments ago

00:27:03she was not like this!

00:27:04It was Vanessa!

00:27:06She came in just now!

00:27:07She fed something

00:27:08to Modell!

00:27:09But Ronan

00:27:09did not believe me

00:27:10for even a second.

00:27:12So I turned

00:27:13to the doctor

00:27:14beside us

00:27:14as if he were

00:27:16my last saving straw.

00:27:17Doctor,

00:27:18speak up!

00:27:21You clearly

00:27:22told me

00:27:22had been struck

00:27:24by a forbidden

00:27:24poison.

00:27:25You said it was

00:27:26destroying her core

00:27:27and she would not

00:27:28survive half a month!

00:27:29But the doctor

00:27:30who had been pale

00:27:31with Terra moments ago

00:27:32had already accepted

00:27:33Vanessa's massive bribe.

00:27:35He did not dare

00:27:35look at me.

00:27:37Then,

00:27:37syllable by syllable,

00:27:38he pushed me

00:27:39into the abyss.

00:27:40Reporting to the lord,

00:27:41the little princess

00:27:42merely caught a bit

00:27:42of a breeze,

00:27:43but there may be

00:27:44O double.

00:27:44It is only

00:27:45ordinary discomfort.

00:27:46The primary mistress

00:27:47is unsettled

00:27:48after childbirth,

00:27:49overly sensitive

00:27:49and blowing a small

00:27:50matter out of proportion.

00:27:51My entire world

00:27:52shattered like a bolt

00:27:52for moments of blue.

00:27:53How could it

00:27:53suddenly change?

00:27:55Watching me

00:27:56fall to the ground

00:27:57in a distrevelled,

00:27:57helpless state,

00:27:59Vanessa,

00:28:00hidden just behind

00:28:00Ronan,

00:28:01let a fleeting,

00:28:02venomous smile

00:28:02of triumph play

00:28:03on the corners

00:28:04of her lips.

00:28:05Then,

00:28:06stepping forward

00:28:06at the perfect moment,

00:28:08she submissively

00:28:08wrapped her arm

00:28:09aground Ronan's,

00:28:10practically melting

00:28:11half her body

00:28:12into his embrace.

00:28:13While casting

00:28:14feigned looks of pity

00:28:15at the little princess

00:28:16on the sickbed,

00:28:17she continuously

00:28:18blew poisonous whispers

00:28:19into Ronan's ear.

00:28:20Ronan,

00:28:21don't blame the primary

00:28:22mistress too much.

00:28:24Iris is a girl,

00:28:25after all,

00:28:26born with a weak

00:28:27constitution.

00:28:28It is only natural

00:28:29she panicked

00:28:29when a minor chill

00:28:30threw the child

00:28:31into such a state.

00:28:33It's just,

00:28:33the primary mistress

00:28:35is far too sensitive.

00:28:37Always catching

00:28:38its shadows

00:28:39and blowing

00:28:40minor inconveniences

00:28:41entirely out of proportion.

00:28:43She looked up,

00:28:44her eyes brimming

00:28:45with tenderness

00:28:45and adoration.

00:28:47Jasper's succession

00:28:48ceremony is in just

00:28:49two days.

00:28:49That is the true

00:28:50matter of gravity

00:28:51for the kingdom's legacy.

00:28:53We cannot let

00:28:54Seraphina delay

00:28:55your proper business

00:28:56over these trivial

00:28:57backyard squabbles.

00:29:01Let us return

00:29:02to the main manor.

00:29:03We shouldn't let

00:29:04her hysteria ruin

00:29:05our precious time

00:29:06with Jasper.

00:29:11Ronan averted

00:29:12his eyes in disgust,

00:29:13refusing to grant

00:29:14even half a glance

00:29:15to his biological

00:29:16daughter on the sickbed.

00:29:18Vanessa,

00:29:18you are the one

00:29:19who is truly sensible.

00:29:21Come,

00:29:22let us return.

00:29:23And ignore this

00:29:24mad woman.

00:29:25If she wishes

00:29:26to stay here

00:29:27and make a spectacle

00:29:28of herself,

00:29:29let her be.

00:29:30Leaning triumphantly

00:29:31against Ronan,

00:29:32Vanessa accompanied him

00:29:33as he strode out

00:29:34of the infirmary.

00:29:35Only when the footsteps

00:29:36of the pair

00:29:37had completely faded,

00:29:38did the doctor,

00:29:39who had been kneeling

00:29:40on the ground,

00:29:41suddenly collapse

00:29:42in a heap.

00:29:43He scrambled

00:29:44on his hands

00:29:44and knees

00:29:45and knees

00:29:45to my feet,

00:29:46cooting frantically

00:29:47while crying out

00:29:48in absolute despair.

00:29:49your highness,

00:29:51primary mistress.

00:29:52Please do not

00:29:53blame me.

00:29:55I deserve to die.

00:29:57I deserve to die.

00:29:59Why did you lie

00:29:59just now?

00:30:00Madam Vanessa

00:30:01has officially moved

00:30:02into the Lord's

00:30:03main mansion

00:30:03with the heir

00:30:04and enjoys

00:30:05the Lord's

00:30:06absolute favor.

00:30:07She is the future

00:30:09primary mistress

00:30:10of the kingdom.

00:30:11Before the Lord

00:30:12entered just now,

00:30:13she pulled me aside

00:30:13and threatened

00:30:14that if I did not cooperate,

00:30:15she would take

00:30:16my entire family's lives

00:30:17tonight and even

00:30:17have the Lord

00:30:18take my head.

00:30:18She would truly kill me.

00:30:20Listening to the

00:30:20doctor's desperate wails,

00:30:21I looked at my daughter

00:30:22on the sickle

00:30:22whose condition

00:30:23was forcibly masked

00:30:24as peaceful

00:30:24by the illusional spoison.

00:30:26Ronan,

00:30:26to cater to your first love,

00:30:27you personally abandoned

00:30:28the sole opportunity

00:30:29to save your biological daughter.

00:30:31You will live

00:30:32to regret this.

00:30:36Three days later,

00:30:38Elid spared no expense,

00:30:40utilizing over half

00:30:41of the Wind Kingdom's treasury

00:30:42to organize an incredibly

00:30:44extravagant dawn trial

00:30:45for three-year-old Jasper.

00:30:48The streets of the main city

00:30:50were carpeted

00:30:51with sacred florencent petals

00:30:52and they went so far

00:30:55as to exceptionally tame

00:30:57nine pure white unicorns

00:30:59to draw a crystal-invented float

00:31:04in a high-profile parade

00:31:06across the territory.

00:31:09As Vanessa held the hand

00:31:10of a magnificently dressed Jasper,

00:31:12his delicate little elven wings

00:31:15fluttering

00:31:16and ascended the float,

00:31:19waves of deafening cheers erupted

00:31:21across the skies

00:31:23of the Wind Kingdom.

00:31:24Meanwhile,

00:31:25in a dark corner

00:31:25of the Grand Hall,

00:31:26I cradled my daughter,

00:31:28whose life force

00:31:29was growing fainter

00:31:30by the moment,

00:31:31watching this absurd fast

00:31:32with cold detachment.

00:31:34Without the Lord's

00:31:35explicit permission,

00:31:36my daughter and I

00:31:37lacked even the right

00:31:38to enter the main hall.

00:31:42Forced to stand

00:31:43in the freezing wind

00:31:44of the outer gallery.

00:31:45Just then,

00:31:46Vanessa,

00:31:47basking in the adoration

00:31:48atop the float,

00:31:50spotted my figure

00:31:51from afar.

00:31:52With a flicker in her eyes,

00:31:53she intentionally

00:31:54walked towards me

00:31:55with a smug smile.

00:31:56Covering her mouth

00:31:57with a handkerchief,

00:31:58she let out a feigned sigh

00:31:59of self-reploach,

00:32:01though her eyes were filled

00:32:02with condescending charity.

00:32:04Sister,

00:32:05do not blame Mother and Ronin

00:32:07for being heartless.

00:32:07The Withered Tower

00:32:08is peaceful,

00:32:09making it the perfect place

00:32:11for your magic-deficient

00:32:12daughter to recuperate.

00:32:13Today is our

00:32:14Jasper's succession celebration.

00:32:15You shouldn't have

00:32:16brought her out

00:32:16in the first place.

00:32:17Look at her.

00:32:18Even her divine mark

00:32:19is on the verge

00:32:20of dispersing.

00:32:21We must not let her clash

00:32:23with Jasper's

00:32:24unicorn fortune

00:32:25after today.

00:32:27Jasper will be

00:32:27the rightful first heir,

00:32:29while you,

00:32:30the primary mistress,

00:32:31are fit only to watch us

00:32:32ascend to the peak

00:32:33from the mud

00:32:33for the rest of your life!

00:32:35While Vanessa subjected me

00:32:36to endless mockery,

00:32:37the parade reached

00:32:38its absolute climax.

00:32:40Clad in a magnificent

00:32:42silver-white robe,

00:32:43a commanding

00:32:44and majestic Ronin

00:32:45ascended the central

00:32:46divine altar

00:32:47under the gaze

00:32:48of the masses.

00:32:49Raising his hands,

00:32:50he used amplification magic

00:32:52to declare to the entire field

00:32:54his voice echoing

00:32:55through the heavens,

00:32:56arrogant and ecstatic.

00:32:58Today is not only

00:32:59the celebratory feast,

00:33:01establishing my son

00:33:02Jasper's status as heir,

00:33:03but the starting point

00:33:05for our Wind Kingdoms,

00:33:06to march towards

00:33:07the peak of all kingdoms!

00:33:08I officially announce here

00:33:10that we are exerting

00:33:11every effort

00:33:12to secure multiple

00:33:13major cooperations

00:33:14with the mysterious

00:33:15and supreme

00:33:16High Elven King

00:33:17of the Sanctuary!

00:33:18I couldn't help but laugh.

00:33:20The supreme High Elven King

00:33:21they were so desperately

00:33:22trying to fawn over?

00:33:23That's my father.

00:33:24It's time for me

00:33:25to turn the tables.

00:33:27The moment these words

00:33:29were spoken,

00:33:30a massive uproar

00:33:32rippled through the crowd.

00:33:35The High Elven King

00:33:36was the supreme ruler

00:33:37of the entire Elven world.

00:33:41A godlike existence.

00:33:44If they could obtain

00:33:45even a shred

00:33:46of that lord's favor,

00:33:47the Wind Kingdom

00:33:48could instantly ascend

00:33:49into the ranks

00:33:50of the Super Kingdoms!

00:33:52Ronin's face was flushed

00:33:54with absolute pride.

00:33:55His features bearing

00:33:56an unmaskable arrogance

00:33:59as he turned

00:34:00an affectionate gaze

00:34:01to Vanessa and Jasper.

00:34:05Once this cooperation

00:34:06is finalized,

00:34:07Jasper will not only

00:34:08be the king

00:34:09of the Wind Kingdom,

00:34:12but the most noble

00:34:13young commander

00:34:14of the future sanctuary!

00:34:16I shall use

00:34:17the eternal prosperity

00:34:18of the supreme sanctuary

00:34:20to make up

00:34:21for the Grieges.

00:34:22Vanessa

00:34:23and her son

00:34:24suffered

00:34:25over the past

00:34:26three years!

00:34:28Vanessa cast

00:34:29a provocative glance

00:34:30at me,

00:34:31her eyes brimming

00:34:32with ostentatience

00:34:33and disdain.

00:34:34Ronin's gaze toward me

00:34:36was also filled

00:34:36with ultimate coldness,

00:34:38as if mocking

00:34:39my instant

00:34:40magnificence

00:34:40and incompetence.

00:34:42However,

00:34:42watching Ronin's

00:34:43self-righteous declaration,

00:34:44I felt not a single

00:34:46shred of anger.

00:34:47Instead,

00:34:48I lowered my head

00:34:49and gently kissed

00:34:50the suppressed divine mark

00:34:51on my daughter's forehead.

00:34:53The sole direct bloodline

00:34:55of the High Elven King

00:34:57is,

00:34:58at this very moment,

00:35:00lying within the swaddling clothes

00:35:02you have dismissed

00:35:04as worthless garbage.

00:35:08Ronin,

00:35:09Vanessa,

00:35:10the supreme divinity

00:35:11you are scheming

00:35:12to please

00:35:13by any means necessary

00:35:15is the very person

00:35:17you have personally

00:35:18pushed into the abyss

00:35:19and trampled upon

00:35:21in every way.

00:35:22Me.

00:35:23The corners of my lips

00:35:24furbed into an icy arc

00:35:25and the suppressed rage

00:35:27and hatred in my heart

00:35:28transformed into

00:35:29the most ruthless anticipation

00:35:31at this moment.

00:35:33Wind Kingdom,

00:35:35the final revelry

00:35:36of your lives

00:35:37ends here.

00:35:42After a few days

00:35:44of revelry,

00:35:44the disguise

00:35:45of the illusion potion

00:35:47finally collapsed

00:35:48like a castle of sand

00:35:51lying on the stone bed

00:35:52of the withered tower.

00:35:53The toxins within

00:35:54my daughter's body

00:35:55broke past all restraint,

00:35:57erupting violently.

00:35:58She fell

00:35:58into a prolonged coma,

00:36:00her tiny body

00:36:01burning with a terrifying fever.

00:36:04Her lips cracked and pale,

00:36:05her breathing reduced

00:36:06to a flickering candle

00:36:07in the wind,

00:36:10liable to extinguish

00:36:12at any moment.

00:36:13I knelt by the bedside,

00:36:15my magic entirely dried up,

00:36:18leaving me helpless

00:36:19as I pressed my cheek

00:36:21against her icy little hand.

00:36:23My tears long since dried.

00:36:26Just as I was on the verge

00:36:28of despairing unto death,

00:36:29the wooden door

00:36:30of the high tower

00:36:31was suddenly pushed open

00:36:33in a frenzy.

00:36:34The Wind Kingdom doctor

00:36:35burst in,

00:36:36dripping with sweat,

00:36:37his eyes a tangled mess

00:36:39of guilt and terror.

00:36:40With trembling hands,

00:36:42he presented a crystal bottle,

00:36:44radiating a warm,

00:36:46sacred golden light

00:36:47like the midday sun.

00:36:49This medicine

00:36:50can neutralize all poisons,

00:36:51save those on the brink of death,

00:36:53and immensely nourish

00:36:54the bloodline

00:36:55of an elven babe.

00:36:56Please,

00:36:57feed it to the little princess quickly.

00:36:59This is her sole path

00:37:00to survival.

00:37:01Staring at that ball

00:37:02of sacred golden light,

00:37:03my deadened heart

00:37:04began to beat frantically.

00:37:05I snatched the spiritual medicine,

00:37:07clutching it tightly

00:37:08to my chest,

00:37:08my heart overflowing with joy

00:37:10as I believed

00:37:11my daughter

00:37:11was finally saved.

00:37:13Trembling,

00:37:13I pulled the cork,

00:37:15preparing to feed

00:37:16this life-saving drop

00:37:18into my daughter's mouth.

00:37:20When the tower door

00:37:20was violently blown open

00:37:22with a resounding clash,

00:37:24a wild wind rushed in

00:37:25as Alina,

00:37:27flanked by her attendants,

00:37:29strode in

00:37:29with a majestic

00:37:30yet greedy expression.

00:37:32Before I could even react,

00:37:33she ruthlessly

00:37:34snatched the crystal bottle

00:37:36right out of my hands!

00:37:40Ilion gripped the flask

00:37:41of sacred tree extract tightly,

00:37:43feeling the boundless

00:37:44sacred energy

00:37:45swirling within,

00:37:46a fanatical greed

00:37:47erupted in her eyes.

00:37:49Give it back to me!

00:37:50That is Iris'

00:37:52life-saving medicine!

00:37:53I lunged forward

00:37:54like a madman

00:37:55to reclaim the medicine.

00:37:56Give it back!

00:37:58Only to be ruthlessly

00:37:59pinned to the ground

00:38:00by two high-tier guards

00:38:02using their magical staves.

00:38:03My knees slammed

00:38:05against the hard stone tiles,

00:38:07emitting a sickening crack.

00:38:09Following closely behind,

00:38:11Ronan looked down at me,

00:38:13with cold detachment,

00:38:14devoid of any pity.

00:38:16Alayda trembled

00:38:17with excitement,

00:38:18refusing to grant

00:38:19even a single glance

00:38:20to the dying daughter

00:38:21on the sickbed,

00:38:22her mind and heart

00:38:23entirely occupied

00:38:24by her precious

00:38:25eldest grandson.

00:38:26Roran!

00:38:27Look at this!

00:38:27This is the legendary

00:38:28sacred tree extract!

00:38:30Though three-year-old Jasper

00:38:31is extraordinarily gifted,

00:38:33his skeletal frame

00:38:34hasn't fully matured yet.

00:38:35If we let him drink

00:38:36this divine item,

00:38:38his wind magic

00:38:38will undergo

00:38:39a complete metamorphosis,

00:38:40allowing him to grow taller

00:38:42and more powerful

00:38:43than any peer,

00:38:44entirely solidifying

00:38:46his position

00:38:46as the first heir

00:38:47under the kingdom's spotlight.

00:38:50Mother is correct.

00:38:52Leaving such a bloodline treasure

00:38:54in the withered tower

00:38:55would be an utter waste

00:38:56of a divine gift.

00:38:57Only Jasper

00:38:59is worthy of enjoying it.

00:39:01Vanessa walked in

00:39:02at that moment

00:39:02carrying three-year-old Jasper,

00:39:04looking at me

00:39:04pinned to the ground

00:39:05by the guards,

00:39:06coughing up blood

00:39:07in a disheveled state.

00:39:08The triumph and amusement

00:39:09in her eyes

00:39:10threatened to spill over.

00:39:11The three of them

00:39:12huddled together,

00:39:12admiring the item

00:39:13as if inspecting

00:39:14a supreme treasure

00:39:15filled with praises,

00:39:16while I could only

00:39:17watch helplessly

00:39:18as the saving straw

00:39:20belonged to my daughter

00:39:21was stripped away

00:39:22completely.

00:39:24Amid my agonized weeping,

00:39:26that priceless flask

00:39:27of sacred tree extract

00:39:29was gently yet forcefully

00:39:30poured into the mouth

00:39:32of the perfectly

00:39:33lival Jasper

00:39:34by El Adid.

00:39:35The moment the divine item

00:39:37entered his mouth,

00:39:38a blinding golden current

00:39:39erupted across Jasper's body.

00:39:41Not only did his wind

00:39:42attribute magic

00:39:43surge instantly,

00:39:44but his height

00:39:45even seemed to increase

00:39:47slightly.

00:39:48The three-year-old toddler

00:39:49excitedly brashed

00:39:50his magic in the hall,

00:39:52while Ronan and Vanessa

00:39:53surrounded him,

00:39:54letting out waves

00:39:55of absolute delight.

00:39:57The happier their laughter,

00:39:59the more shattered

00:40:00my heart became.

00:40:01Ronan looked down upon me

00:40:02as I lay limp

00:40:03on the ground,

00:40:03his cold words

00:40:04cutting like blades.

00:40:06Seraphina,

00:40:07cease your weeping here.

00:40:09Jasper is the future

00:40:11hope of the kingdom.

00:40:12Giving this medicine

00:40:13to him ensures

00:40:14it is put to its proper use.

00:40:16As for Iris,

00:40:18it has been said

00:40:19she merely has

00:40:20a common chill.

00:40:22It is not worth

00:40:23delaying proper business

00:40:24over her,

00:40:25and she certainly

00:40:26does not deserve

00:40:27a divine object

00:40:28like the sacred tree extract.

00:40:30Flicking his sleeves,

00:40:31Ronan turned

00:40:32and left heartlessly,

00:40:33taking the room's laughter

00:40:34with him

00:40:35when they departed entirely.

00:40:37The tower plunged back

00:40:39into a deathly silence.

00:40:40I crawled to the bedside,

00:40:42looking at my empty hands,

00:40:44and then at my daughter,

00:40:46whose core was withering

00:40:47as she spit out

00:40:49another mouthful

00:40:49of black blood

00:40:50from the poison

00:40:51gripping her heart.

00:40:52My daughter opened

00:40:53her eyes weakly,

00:40:54rubbing against my palm

00:40:55with a touch of attachment

00:40:56before sinking entirely

00:40:57into a deathly coldness.

00:40:58Slowly raising

00:41:00my right hand,

00:41:01I spared no cost

00:41:03to force out

00:41:04the final drop

00:41:04of supreme golden blood

00:41:06from my heart,

00:41:07drawing a sacred

00:41:08golden-winged armor

00:41:09in the void.

00:41:11Through the array,

00:41:12a connection

00:41:13was instantly forged

00:41:14to the deepest depths

00:41:15of the sanctuary,

00:41:17unleashing a supreme pressure

00:41:18that made all kingdoms tremble.

00:41:20My daughter,

00:41:21you are finally willing

00:41:22to contact your father.

00:41:24You have suffered

00:41:24these past three years.

00:41:26Cradling the icy form

00:41:27tightly in my arms,

00:41:28tears of blood

00:41:28tracing down my face.

00:41:30My voice was completely calm,

00:41:31devoid of a single ripple

00:41:32has been from emotion.

00:41:33My daughter is dying.

00:41:34Please open the gates

00:41:35of the sanctuary

00:41:35and take us mother and daughter

00:41:36home.

00:41:38The supreme array

00:41:39faded into the air

00:41:40and forcing my dying,

00:41:42battered body forward,

00:41:43I carried my daughter

00:41:45out of the withered tower.

00:41:46My daughter's fragile form

00:41:48barely clung to life.

00:41:50Without disturbing anyone,

00:41:51I walked step by step

00:41:53to the center of the territory,

00:41:55stopping before the tree of life.

00:41:56Then I was won't be road of

00:41:58to stand into the

00:41:59Urumaya number stew.

00:42:02Swearing by the supreme bloodline,

00:42:04I sever the covenant

00:42:05and erase my holy name

00:42:07here today.

00:42:12Inside the main manor,

00:42:14Ronan felt a sudden,

00:42:16violent spasm of pain

00:42:18strike his chest.

00:42:21Ronan,

00:42:22three years of marital devotion

00:42:23has been personally severed

00:42:25by your hand today.

00:42:26The trampling you granted me,

00:42:27I have accepted.

00:42:28From this day forward,

00:42:29we shall not meet again

00:42:30in life nor death.

00:42:31Serafina,

00:42:32what madness are you throwing there

00:42:33over such a trivial matter

00:42:35you would go so far

00:42:35as to harm your own body

00:42:37to forge a fortune backlash?

00:42:38I have no time to play

00:42:39these cat and mouse games with you.

00:42:41If you have the ability to leave,

00:42:42then ensure you never return.

00:42:56That night,

00:42:59the entire main manor

00:43:00of the Wind Kingdom

00:43:02was brightly lit

00:43:04and adorned

00:43:05with festive decorations.

00:43:06To celebrate three-year-old Jasper

00:43:09consuming the sacred tree extract

00:43:11and experiencing a surge in magic,

00:43:14Aline ordered an all-night festival

00:43:16of music and dance.

00:43:19Inside the magnificent main hall,

00:43:21the aroma of fine wine

00:43:22filled the air

00:43:23as countless high-tier elves

00:43:24raised their glasses in unison,

00:43:26surrounding Vanessa

00:43:27and her son at the center

00:43:28with absolute flattery

00:43:30and obdaciousness.

00:43:31Ronan sat upon his throne,

00:43:33looking at his triumphant

00:43:35eldest son.

00:43:36His eyes filled with pride

00:43:38and certainty

00:43:39that the kingdom

00:43:40was about to ascend

00:43:41to the peak of all kingdoms.

00:43:44The hypocritical

00:43:45and fanatical cheers

00:43:46echoed through the night sky,

00:43:49transforming the entire temple

00:43:50into a city

00:43:52that never slept.

00:43:53Yet no one noticed

00:43:54that on the desolate path

00:43:56at the outmost edge

00:43:57of the main city,

00:43:58leading towards

00:43:59the Forbidden Forest,

00:44:00a slender and resolute figure

00:44:01was carrying a sweatling cloth,

00:44:03stepping into the boundless

00:44:04curtain of night.

00:44:05The freezing rain

00:44:06slammed down mercisely.

00:44:07Serafina's face

00:44:08was deathly still,

00:44:09but her hands held

00:44:10the daughter in her arms

00:44:11with absolute tightness.

00:44:12Iris's breathing

00:44:13within the cloth

00:44:14was faint,

00:44:15her tiny body

00:44:16gradually turning

00:44:16stirby and cold.

00:44:17Serafina did not

00:44:18cast a single glance back

00:44:19at the false prosperity

00:44:20of the wind kingdom

00:44:21behind her.

00:44:22Her eyes held

00:44:23no more tears,

00:44:24only an indifference

00:44:25that chilled to the bone.

00:44:27The singing and dancing

00:44:28inside the main hall

00:44:29continued,

00:44:29and Ronan was smiling

00:44:30as he accepted

00:44:31the fine wine

00:44:31handed to him by Vanessa.

00:44:33At that exact instant,

00:44:34deep within the dark forest

00:44:35far away,

00:44:36the violent cold wind

00:44:37came to an abrupt halt

00:44:38without warning.

00:44:38A sliver of incredibly noble,

00:44:40sacred and tore through

00:44:41the darkness of the polar night.

00:44:42The frame foes at the edge

00:44:43of the dark, silent forest.

00:44:45The sounds of the wind kingdom

00:44:46celebratory songs and laugh

00:44:47still echoed faintly,

00:44:49but the moment the mother

00:44:49and girl's slender

00:44:50yet matchlessly noble fears

00:44:52that sliver of golden light,

00:44:53they instantly transformed

00:44:54into a remnant gleam,

00:44:56vanishing completely

00:44:57into the endless night.

00:44:59The sacred light

00:45:00erupted outward

00:45:01at the center of the royal hall

00:45:03in the supreme sanctuary,

00:45:04holding my daughter,

00:45:05who had practically

00:45:06stopped breathing.

00:45:07I finally collapsed

00:45:09onto my knees

00:45:09against the flawless

00:45:10white jade floor tiles,

00:45:12my strength entirely spent.

00:45:14My long hair was soaked

00:45:15through by the terricious rain

00:45:16sticking messily

00:45:17to my deathly pale cheeks.

00:45:18The weakness of postparting recovery

00:45:19comboldened with the trauma

00:45:20of forcibly reversing

00:45:21my source power

00:45:22caused me to leave

00:45:23a striking trail of blood

00:45:24with every step.

00:45:24Sitting high upon his throne,

00:45:26my father rose abruptly.

00:45:27When he clearly saw

00:45:28my broken state

00:45:29at the bottom of the steps,

00:45:30his majestic noble face,

00:45:31which had ten thousand

00:45:32years of history,

00:45:33trembled violently

00:45:34with immense shock

00:45:35and heartache.

00:45:36Moving like a blur,

00:45:38he materialized by my side

00:45:39in an instant,

00:45:40his hands shaking

00:45:41as he tried to lift me up.

00:45:43My daughter!

00:45:44How did you become like this?

00:45:48Your supreme magic,

00:45:49which even ten thousand

00:45:51kingdoms look up to,

00:45:52why has it withered

00:45:53to such an extent?

00:45:56I slowly raised my head,

00:45:58the tears of blood

00:45:59at the corners of my eye

00:45:59long since dried.

00:46:00I did not cry out.

00:46:02I merely used

00:46:02the final shred of strength

00:46:03in my body

00:46:04to tremblingly present

00:46:05the swaddling cloth

00:46:05to my father.

00:46:06Father, save her.

00:46:08She is Ronin's

00:46:09biological flesh and blood,

00:46:11yet they dismissed her

00:46:12as a lowly wretch.

00:46:13To steal her

00:46:13life-saving medicine,

00:46:14they fed my iris

00:46:16forbidden illusion potions

00:46:17to forcibly mask the truth.

00:46:18She has been poisoned

00:46:19with soul-eating grass,

00:46:21and her magic core

00:46:22is on the verge of shattering.

00:46:23My father took

00:46:24the tiny swaddling cloth

00:46:25with trembling hands.

00:46:26When his divine sense

00:46:28swept across his granddaughter's

00:46:29battered natural core,

00:46:30which was being ravenously

00:46:31consumed by the poison,

00:46:33this supreme gaiety

00:46:34who ruled over

00:46:35the entire sanctuary

00:46:36felt his eyes

00:46:37turn instantly

00:46:38bloodluck.

00:46:38Immediately following,

00:46:40a terrifying,

00:46:41world-destroying pressure

00:46:43erupted violently

00:46:44from his body.

00:46:47In an instant,

00:46:49the skies above

00:46:50the entire supreme sanctuary

00:46:51shifted dramatically

00:46:52as the once bright heavens

00:46:53were enveloped

00:46:53by rolling black clouds

00:46:54and violent thunderbolts.

00:46:56The ancient vines

00:46:57surrounding the royal hall,

00:46:57which had flourished

00:46:58for tens of thousands

00:46:59of years,

00:47:00seemed to feel

00:47:01the king's ultimate fury,

00:47:02trembling wildly

00:47:03and thrashing against the ground

00:47:04as the entire sacred mountain

00:47:06shook violently

00:47:07under the divine rage.

00:47:08My father raised

00:47:09his right hand high,

00:47:10the destructive divine lightning

00:47:11flashing frankly

00:47:12at his fingertips.

00:47:13He stared dead

00:47:14at his dying granddaughter

00:47:15within the cloth,

00:47:16his gnashing words

00:47:17wrapped in supreme divine authority

00:47:19as they echoed

00:47:20through heaven and earth.

00:47:21the wind kingdom.

00:47:22Ronan!

00:47:23You ants dare to torture

00:47:24my only daughter

00:47:25in such a manner

00:47:26and strike ruthlessly

00:47:27against my newborn granddaughter.

00:47:29Pass down my dissension pathways

00:47:31the wind kingdom.

00:47:32Whosoever dares harm my god,

00:47:33I shall demand

00:47:34their entire kingdom

00:47:35accompany her in death.

00:47:37To rescue Iris

00:47:39from the brink of death,

00:47:40my father did not hesitate

00:47:41for a moment,

00:47:42immediately ordering

00:47:43the opening of the life core

00:47:45of the ancient sacred tree

00:47:46that had lived for 100,000 years

00:47:48within the forbidden grounds.

00:47:49This was the energy source

00:47:51of the entire elfin world.

00:47:53A place where even

00:47:55the high priests

00:47:56of the sanctuary

00:47:56had no right

00:47:57to approach normally.

00:47:59Yet it was fully open today

00:48:01for my daughter.

00:48:02Every top holy tier healer

00:48:04within the sanctuary

00:48:05was assembled overnight.

00:48:12The golden life core

00:48:13floated gently above the sickbed,

00:48:14radiating a soft,

00:48:15vast and ocean-like purity

00:48:17of magic.

00:48:17A canopy of brilliant golden light

00:48:19wrapped around Iris' tiny body

00:48:20layer by layer,

00:48:21like a coon,

00:48:22nourished by this immense life force.

00:48:24The faint golden divine mark

00:48:26on Iris' forehead,

00:48:27which had been nearly cracked

00:48:28and extinguished,

00:48:30finally flickered

00:48:31with a weak resonance

00:48:32under the caress

00:48:33of the divine light.

00:48:34I kept watch by the bedside,

00:48:36my face pale,

00:48:37never leaving her side

00:48:39for a single pace.

00:48:40I watched with my own eyes

00:48:42as those holy gris healers

00:48:43transformed secret medicines

00:48:45into golden needles,

00:48:46extracting the stubborn

00:48:47soul-eating grease poison

00:48:48from my daughter's body,

00:48:49inch by inch.

00:48:50Every time that the poison

00:48:52was forced out,

00:48:53my daughter would let out

00:48:54faint kitten-like whipper of pain,

00:48:56and those drops of black toxic blood

00:48:58would instantly corrode

00:48:59scorched hole into the pure white sheets

00:49:01upon hitting them.

00:49:02My daughter,

00:49:04watching her suffer,

00:49:05tore at my heart

00:49:06as if it were being cut

00:49:07by ten thousand blades.

00:49:09Ronan,

00:49:10Vanessa,

00:49:10the pain you inflicted

00:49:11upon my child,

00:49:12I will ensure you

00:49:13repaid a thousand times.

00:49:14It was a grueling

00:49:15two days and nights

00:49:17of hovering between

00:49:18life and death.

00:49:21As the first ray

00:49:22of the sanctuary's

00:49:23warm morning sun

00:49:24pierced through the window frame

00:49:26on the third day,

00:49:27Iris suddenly let out

00:49:28a resounding cry

00:49:29from the bed.

00:49:30That cry was no longer weak

00:49:32and filled with despair

00:49:33like before,

00:49:34but brimming with the strength

00:49:35of a new life.

00:49:36The golden divine mark

00:49:38on her forehead

00:49:38restored completely,

00:49:39and her once pale little face

00:49:41began to flush with color,

00:49:43her skin radiating

00:49:44a healthy glow.

00:49:46Congratulations, king.

00:49:47Congratulations, holy princess.

00:49:48The virilest poison

00:49:49within the little princess's body

00:49:50has completely dissolved.

00:49:52Not only is her life secured,

00:49:53but her bloodline

00:49:53has completely awa-

00:49:54Looking at my daughter's face

00:49:55as she clenched her tiny fists

00:49:57in blue bubbles,

00:49:58the tears I had suppressed

00:49:59for three long years

00:50:00finally broke through

00:50:01the floodgates.

00:50:03The morning sun

00:50:04spilled across

00:50:05the luxurious couch

00:50:06when Vanessa was gently

00:50:07helping Ronan

00:50:07into his robes.

00:50:08However,

00:50:09Ronan's brow

00:50:09was furrowed tightly,

00:50:11his handsome face clouded

00:50:12with undeniable irritation

00:50:13and gloom.

00:50:14Right then,

00:50:15a panicked-starting bell

00:50:15rang out from outside

00:50:16the main temple.

00:50:17Several elders

00:50:17scrambled into the hall,

00:50:18their faces as white as sheets.

00:50:20Lord,

00:50:21disaster has struck.

00:50:22The soldiers guarding

00:50:22the ascension platform

00:50:23just reported

00:50:24that our kingdom's passage

00:50:25to the sanctuary

00:50:26has been violently locked

00:50:27from above

00:50:28by an unspeakable

00:50:29supreme divine authority.

00:50:31The gates of the divine realm

00:50:33are closed to us.

00:50:36What did you say?

00:50:38The passage is locked.

00:50:42Who could possibly

00:50:43have such power?

00:50:44In that instant,

00:50:45the image of Seraphina's

00:50:47cold,

00:50:47ruthless phantom

00:50:48before her departure

00:50:49flashed through his mind

00:50:50and his heart sank.

00:50:52Could it be

00:50:54Seraphina?

00:50:54But the moment

00:50:55the thought arose,

00:50:56it was instantly crushed

00:50:57by the deep-rooted arrogance

00:50:59in his heart.

00:50:59He let out a cold,

00:51:01self-de-cricketing laugh.

00:51:02Seraphina was nothing more

00:51:03than a lowly woman

00:51:04with no background,

00:51:06inferior even to

00:51:06a low-tier elf

00:51:07of the Winshuary

00:51:08that happened

00:51:08to affect their kingdom.

00:51:11Seeing his distress,

00:51:13Vanessa quickly

00:51:14moved closer,

00:51:15wrapping her arms

00:51:16around his

00:51:17to comfort him,

00:51:18teasingly.

00:51:20Exactly, Lord.

00:51:21Sister ran away

00:51:22in a tantrum

00:51:23and is probably

00:51:24hiding in some inn

00:51:25using that sickly brat

00:51:26to threaten you

00:51:27until you soften.

00:51:28How could she possibly

00:51:29have the power

00:51:30to lock

00:51:30the ascension platform?

00:51:33Ronan pressed

00:51:34his throbbing temples.

00:51:36A strange sensation

00:51:37of losing

00:51:38his kingdom's fortune

00:51:39made him increasingly

00:51:40restless.

00:51:41Pushing Vanessa away,

00:51:42he strode toward

00:51:43the Covenant Temple

00:51:44with a dark expression.

00:51:47However,

00:51:48the moment Ronan

00:51:49stepped into

00:51:49the Covenant Temple,

00:51:50the priest on duty

00:51:51collapsed to the floor

00:51:52in sheer terror,

00:51:53his face deathly pale.

00:51:54what are you

00:51:55panicking for?

00:51:56Bring out the

00:51:56Covenant Jade plaques

00:51:57for Seraphina

00:51:58and the infant.

00:51:59I want to see

00:51:59where they are

00:51:59hiding and laughing

00:52:00at me.

00:52:01My lord,

00:52:02spare my life.

00:52:04They cannot be

00:52:05brought out.

00:52:06Just three days ago,

00:52:07the primary

00:52:08Mistress Covenant mark

00:52:09under the Tree of Life

00:52:10was forcibly erased.

00:52:12What did you say?

00:52:15Forcibly erased?

00:52:16Not only is it gone,

00:52:17but the mother and daughter

00:52:18used an ancient

00:52:19secret ritual

00:52:20to completely delete

00:52:21all their holy names

00:52:22from the Elfin race.

00:52:23Half of the Tree of Life

00:52:24has withered.

00:52:25I used every tracking

00:52:26method available,

00:52:27but they are all

00:52:28untraceable.

00:52:29They have completely

00:52:30severed their bloodline

00:52:31and connection

00:52:32with the Wind Kingdom.

00:52:33Well played,

00:52:34Seraphina.

00:52:35To resort to such

00:52:36a self-harming,

00:52:37despicable trick

00:52:38as deleting

00:52:39your holy name.

00:52:40Do you think

00:52:41you can escape

00:52:42just by doing that?

00:52:43I want to see

00:52:43how many days

00:52:44you can last out there

00:52:46with your dying daughter

00:52:47without the protection

00:52:48of the Wind Kingdom.

00:52:51Watching her daughter

00:52:52sleep peacefully

00:52:53in the divine light

00:52:54of the sacred tree,

00:52:55Seraphina slowly stood up.

00:52:57The mole that tended

00:52:58as she turned

00:52:59to vanished from her eyes,

00:53:00replaced by a bottomless

00:53:01coldness and resolve.

00:53:03Father,

00:53:04I was too foolish

00:53:04in the past

00:53:05to repay a trivial

00:53:06mortal deed.

00:53:07I degraded myself

00:53:09to cater to a blind,

00:53:10cold-blooded mortal.

00:53:11In return,

00:53:12they trampled all over me

00:53:13and nearly caused

00:53:14my daughter's death.

00:53:15She raised her hand,

00:53:17slicing through the air

00:53:17like a blade.

00:53:19As an invisible,

00:53:20emotional barrier shattered,

00:53:21the painful memories

00:53:22of her humiliation,

00:53:24Ronan's neglect,

00:53:25and Vanessa's framing

00:53:26in the Wind Kingdom

00:53:27were sealed

00:53:28deep within her heart.

00:53:29From this day forward,

00:53:31the lowly,

00:53:31submissive consort

00:53:32of the Wind Kingdom

00:53:33no longer exists

00:53:34to ensure we are

00:53:35never trampled on again

00:53:36and to control

00:53:37my daughter's destiny.

00:53:38I willingly accept

00:53:39the royal bloodline baptism.

00:53:41Looking at his daughter,

00:53:42whose gaze had become

00:53:43as sharp as a hawk,

00:53:44the high-elvil king

00:53:45felt a surge

00:53:45of relief and pride.

00:53:47He immediately gave

00:53:47his stern approval.

00:53:48Half an hour later,

00:53:49the gates to the sanctuary's

00:53:50core Forbidden Grounds

00:53:51swung open.

00:53:52This was the sacred

00:53:53training pool exclusive

00:53:53to the heirs of

00:53:54the Supreme Royal Family,

00:53:55filled with primeval

00:53:56Priyadan magic

00:53:57accumulated over 10,000 years

00:53:58and to an ordinary

00:53:59high elf would explode

00:54:00and die from touching

00:54:01even a single drop

00:54:02and to enduring

00:54:03the agonizing pain

00:54:04of a complete

00:54:04bone-shattering

00:54:05transcendent.

00:54:06Without any hesitation,

00:54:07under the Averstech gaze

00:54:08of 10,000 pure-blooded

00:54:10elven guards,

00:54:11Seraphina stepped relutely

00:54:12into the terrifying,

00:54:13surging sacred pool

00:54:14clad in a simple

00:54:15white robe.

00:54:16Boom!

00:54:16The moment her body

00:54:17was completely submerged,

00:54:19the ancient magic erupted,

00:54:20unleashing towering golden waves.

00:54:22The violent

00:54:22propezzanard energy

00:54:23slashed through her

00:54:23Merpicreons and bones

00:54:24like countless blades.

00:54:25Yet, she did not even flinch.

00:54:27The nine sore seals

00:54:28she had plissioned herself

00:54:29to repay her debt to Ronion

00:54:30began to shatter

00:54:31and unravel,

00:54:31completely awakening

00:54:32her de-dormant power

00:54:33under the furious onsla-

00:54:35Smash!

00:54:36Ronin shattered his

00:54:37communication array

00:54:38for the 12th time.

00:54:40Every time he tried

00:54:40to connect with Seraphina

00:54:42through a soul transmission,

00:54:43he was met with nothing

00:54:44but a cold, empty echo

00:54:45and the piercing pain

00:54:47of magical backlash.

00:54:48His frustration

00:54:49reached its peep

00:54:50as a suffocating panic

00:54:51of losing control

00:54:52gripped his throat.

00:54:53Just then,

00:54:54the hall doors

00:54:55pushed open

00:54:56and Vanessa walked in

00:54:57smiling,

00:54:58holding three-year-old

00:54:59Jasper by the hand.

00:55:12Ronin turned his irritated

00:55:14gaze onto Jasper

00:55:15who was shouting

00:55:15and playing with a toy.

00:55:17But as he looked,

00:55:18his breath caught.

00:55:19Whether it was due

00:55:20to the sudden loss

00:55:21of his kingdom's fortune,

00:55:22looking at Jasper's

00:55:23arrogant and brash face

00:55:25felt unprecedentedly discordal.

00:55:26The child's features

00:55:27lacked even a trace

00:55:28of the Wind Kingdom royal family's elegance,

00:55:30showing instead

00:55:31a crude vulgarity.

00:55:32What terrified him most

00:55:34was that the wind-attributed magic

00:55:35to radiating from Jasper

00:55:36was crose and wild,

00:55:38sharing absolutely

00:55:39no bloodline resonance

00:55:40with the pure,

00:55:41biting royal bloodline

00:55:42in his own body.

00:55:43When Vanessa gave birth

00:55:45to the child outside years ago,

00:55:47crying that she had been hunted

00:55:48by enemies

00:55:49and forced to wander,

00:55:51Ronin pitied her

00:55:52and never questioned

00:55:53the bloodline.

00:55:54But now,

00:55:58Ronin,

00:55:59why are you looking

00:56:00at Jasper like that?

00:56:03Did he do something wrong?

00:56:04Rokon stared dead

00:56:05at the flash of panic

00:56:06in Vanessa's eyes.

00:56:07His hands clenched tightly

00:56:08beneath his robes

00:56:09as something shattered

00:56:10within his heart.

00:56:11Taking a deep breath

00:56:12to suppress his immense suspicion,

00:56:13he put on a cold disguise.

00:56:15It is nothing.

00:56:16I am simply tired.

00:56:18You may leave.

00:56:19The moment the doors closed,

00:56:21Ronin's eyes turned

00:56:22incredibly sinister.

00:56:23He looked toward the empty air

00:56:25and gave a ruthless command.

00:56:26Someone,

00:56:27bring out the royal family's

00:56:28most secretive bloodline

00:56:29apriation arabis.

00:56:30Remember,

00:56:31prepare it in secret.

00:56:33Find an opportunity

00:56:34to gather Jasper's hair

00:56:35and finger blood later.

00:56:37Vanessa must not know

00:56:38a single thing about this.

00:56:39If I find

00:56:40that his bloodline

00:56:41does not match,

00:56:42I will ensure them

00:56:43die without a burial place!

00:56:47Meanwhile,

00:56:48in the sanctuary,

00:56:48around the forbidden

00:56:49sacred pool grounds,

00:56:5010,000 pureblood

00:56:51high elven generals,

00:56:52high priests,

00:56:53and gradually cards

00:56:54of the divine king

00:56:54knelt across the mountains.

00:56:56Everyone held their breath,

00:56:57looking up at the gradually

00:56:58calming sacred pool in awe.

00:56:59Suddenly,

00:57:00faint golden ripple

00:57:01carrying supreme azority

00:57:02spread from the center

00:57:03of the pool.

00:57:03A graceful noble figure

00:57:05slowly rose from the center

00:57:06of the water.

00:57:07Seraphina's postpartum weakness

00:57:08and plast were entirely gone.

00:57:10Her skin shone like

00:57:11flawless white jade,

00:57:12flowing with a sacred light,

00:57:14and her once withered long hair

00:57:15had turned into a dazzling

00:57:16golden color,

00:57:17skating down to her ankles.

00:57:18Under the baptism

00:57:19of the ancient presided energy,

00:57:21her appearance and magic

00:57:22were completely restored,

00:57:24far surpassing

00:57:24her past peak.

00:57:25The moment her feet

00:57:26left the water

00:57:27and she hovered

00:57:28in midair,

00:57:28the space behind her

00:57:29tore violently.

00:57:31Boom!

00:57:31Accompanied by a divine

00:57:32phoenix cry

00:57:33that echoed through

00:57:33the heavens,

00:57:34a pair of dazzling

00:57:35supreme natural wings

00:57:36radiating boundless

00:57:37life and destruction

00:57:38unfurled behind her back.

00:57:39The divine wings

00:57:40were massive,

00:57:41each feather

00:57:41condundated from the

00:57:42purest golden light

00:57:43of natural law.

00:57:44With a slight flutter,

00:57:45a terrifying pressure

00:57:46swept past like a tsunami,

00:57:47unable to withstand

00:57:48the bloodline pressure

00:57:49from the depths

00:57:50of their souls,

00:57:51the ten thousand

00:57:52pure-blooded elves

00:57:53slammed their foreheads

00:57:54against the ground

00:57:55as the sacren group

00:57:56and echoed in harmony.

00:57:58We welcome

00:57:58Her Majesty's

00:57:59ascension to the throne!

00:58:03You act,

00:58:04she's divine power

00:58:04go forever

00:58:05and may your life

00:58:06match the heavens!

00:58:07Standing amid

00:58:08the golden light,

00:58:09Seraphana looked down

00:58:10at her subjects.

00:58:11She raised her hand

00:58:12slightly,

00:58:12feeling the terrifying magic

00:58:13capable of destroying

00:58:14heaven and earth,

00:58:15a cruel, cold smile

00:58:16playing on her lips.

00:58:17The submissive,

00:58:18lowly consort

00:58:18who had once begged

00:58:19for a flask of pure spring water

00:58:20for her daughter

00:58:21in the Withern Tower,

00:58:22had completely died

00:58:23in this sacred pool today.

00:58:24The one who lived now

00:58:25was the Supreme Empress,

00:58:27who held the power

00:58:28over life and death

00:58:29for the entire

00:58:30elven sanctuary.

00:58:31She turned her gaze

00:58:32towards the direction

00:58:33of the Wind Kingdom,

00:58:35her murderous intent

00:58:36radiating palpably.

00:58:39Since Seraphina's departure,

00:58:41Vanessa carried herself

00:58:42completely as the new

00:58:43mistress of the Wind Kingdom.

00:58:44Without the restraint

00:58:45of the legitimate primary mistress,

00:58:47she tore off

00:58:48her past gentle disguise.

00:58:49The first thing she did

00:58:50upon moving is

00:58:50replace all the decorations

00:58:52with the most luxurious

00:58:53gold silks.

00:58:54She lived extravagantly

00:58:55and wastefully,

00:58:56bathing in the rarest

00:58:57floral dew daily,

00:58:58and even forcibly

00:58:59withalding nearly half

00:59:00of the lower tier

00:59:01elf's winter ravines,

00:59:02just to fashion

00:59:03a sweeping dress

00:59:03embedded with deep sea

00:59:04magic krills.

00:59:05Furthermore,

00:59:06Vanessa was arrogant

00:59:07and harsh to the point

00:59:08of cruelty

00:59:08to toward the servants

00:59:09and lower class

00:59:09elves of the kingdom.

00:59:25Panic gripped the main manor,

00:59:27and the lower tier elves

00:59:28filled the air

00:59:28with grievances.

00:59:29Sitting in his study,

00:59:30Ronan listened

00:59:31to the constant shouting,

00:59:32face slapping

00:59:33and crying from outside,

00:59:34his temples throbbing.

00:59:35Looking at the ledger

00:59:36submitted by the

00:59:36Council of Elders,

00:59:37which detailed Vanessa's

00:59:39waste of tens of thousands

00:59:40of magic crystals

00:59:40over the past few days,

00:59:42his face turned grim.

00:59:43In the past,

00:59:43when Serafina managed

00:59:44the household,

00:59:45the entire wind kingdom

00:59:46was orderly.

00:59:47She was always gentle,

00:59:48understanding,

00:59:48and proper,

00:59:49choosing to live frugally

00:59:50rather than misappropriate

00:59:51a single penny

00:59:52from the kingdom.

00:59:53Even using her own

00:59:54source Morna

00:59:54to nourish injured

00:59:55low-tier soldiers,

00:59:56Ronan instinctively

00:59:57touched the empty space

00:59:58beside his throne,

00:59:59an unprecedented emptiness

01:00:00and regret washing over him

01:00:02like a tidal wave.

01:00:03He began to desperately

01:00:04miss the woman

01:00:05who had always quietly

01:00:06waited for him.

01:00:06But now,

01:00:08no matter how much

01:00:09he searched

01:00:09the wind kingdom's territory,

01:00:11he could no longer

01:00:11find a single trace

01:00:12of Serafina.

01:00:15Yet,

01:00:15Ronan had no idea

01:00:16that while he was drowning

01:00:17in endless regret and agony,

01:00:18a dim storle lamp

01:00:19was burning in the most

01:00:20secluded subterranean

01:00:21chamber of the main manor.

01:00:22Dressed in her luxurious gown,

01:00:24Vanessa showed none

01:00:24of her usual arrogance,

01:00:26slumping limply

01:00:26into the embrace

01:00:27of her old lover Oswin,

01:00:28the chief captain of the guards.

01:00:30Oswin's rough,

01:00:30calloused hands

01:00:31gripped her slender waist tightly

01:00:32as their breaths mingled

01:00:33in a display of immacity

01:00:34and wanton behavior.

01:00:35That suspicious

01:00:36Rhett Ronan

01:00:37stared at Jasper

01:00:38for a long time today.

01:00:39Could he have discovered something?

01:00:42My darling,

01:00:43with me here,

01:00:43what are you afraid of?

01:00:45Even if his suspicions

01:00:46lead him to test

01:00:47the bloodline,

01:00:47he will never find a problem.

01:00:49Don't forget,

01:00:50when he sent me

01:00:50to draw our son's blood,

01:00:51I swapped it with my own.

01:00:53That broken appraisal,

01:00:54Askel,

01:00:55of his will only show

01:00:56an absolute blood relative.

01:00:57Askel pulled Vanessa closer,

01:00:59tilting her chin up proudly.

01:01:01If Ronan hadn't been

01:01:02heavily injured

01:01:03and unconscious

01:01:03during the war

01:01:04three years ago,

01:01:05allowing you to slip

01:01:06into my bed

01:01:07amid the chaos,

01:01:08how else would he have

01:01:10become this cheap father

01:01:11and felt guilty enough

01:01:13to search for you

01:01:13for three whole years?

01:01:15Vanessa's beautiful eyes

01:01:16flashed with a venomous light

01:01:17as she laughed

01:01:18and pinched the man,

01:01:19who told Ronan

01:01:20to pride himself

01:01:21on being deeply affectionate

01:01:22when he is actually a fool

01:01:24who is easily deceived.

01:01:25For three years,

01:01:26he trampled Seraphina,

01:01:27the legitimate mistress,

01:01:28into the dirt

01:01:29for the sake of Jasper and mine.

01:01:30Little does he know,

01:01:31the heir he personally cherishes

01:01:33is actually your child!

01:01:35A wild and greedy ambition

01:01:36as his flashed,

01:01:37his voice turned low and vicious.

01:01:39Ronan is completely distracted

01:01:41every day

01:01:41because of Seraphis' disappears

01:01:42and the kingdom's fortune

01:01:43has mostly vanished

01:01:44for some reason.

01:01:44The Ascension Passage

01:01:46is even closed.

01:01:47In just a few more days,

01:01:48we will deliver

01:01:49the fatal blow.

01:01:52The inner frustration

01:01:53and the mysterious loss

01:01:54of his kingdom's fortune

01:01:55drove him near madness.

01:01:57His mind troubled,

01:01:58he walked aimlessly

01:01:59through the streets

01:01:59of the main city

01:02:00and inadvertently stopped

01:02:02in front of the infirmary.

01:02:03Looking at the somewhat

01:02:04dilapidated doors,

01:02:05the image of Seraphina

01:02:06weeping in absolute despair here

01:02:08suddenly flashed

01:02:09through his mind.

01:02:10I must be losing my mind

01:02:11to have walked all the way here.

01:02:12Just as he turned to leave,

01:02:14a stealthy figure

01:02:14carrying a bundle

01:02:15prepared to flee

01:02:16from inside the infirmary.

01:02:17It was the doctor

01:02:18from before.

01:02:18Ever since Seraphina

01:02:19Umitsa erased her holy name

01:02:20and left,

01:02:21causing half of the tree

01:02:21of life to wither,

01:02:22this doctor had been tormented

01:02:23night and day

01:02:24by guilt and fear,

01:02:25finally breaking down

01:02:26and preparing to escape overnight.

01:02:27Ronan's eyes turned sharp,

01:02:29moving like lightning

01:02:30he materialized

01:02:30before the doctor,

01:02:31blocking his path.

01:02:32Where do you think

01:02:33you are running?

01:02:34What are you panicking for

01:02:36upon seeing me?

01:02:37Looking at Ronan's

01:02:38rage distorted face

01:02:39and thinking of the rampant rumors

01:02:40about the primary mistress'

01:02:41disappearance

01:02:41and the sacred trees withering,

01:02:43the doctor's psychological defense

01:02:44collapsed completely

01:02:44with even needing to

01:02:45use a soul-searching technique.

01:02:47He fell to his knees in terror,

01:02:48now coating frantically

01:02:49as tears and muses

01:02:50strem down his face.

01:02:51Lord, spare my life!

01:02:52I deserve to die!

01:02:53I dare not hide it any longer!

01:02:54The primary mistress did not lie!

01:02:56She was not throwing a tamper

01:02:57fighting for effect!

01:02:58Ronan's heart skipped a beat,

01:02:59a profound sense of foreboding

01:03:01enveloping his entire body.

01:03:03Make yourself clear!

01:03:04What do you mean she didn't lie?

01:03:05It was your daughter.

01:03:07Your daughter Iris

01:03:08didn't catch an ordinary chill at all!

01:03:10She was poisoned

01:03:11with the highly insidious

01:03:12soul-eating grass

01:03:13and her core had already

01:03:14begun to wither!

01:03:15Boom!

01:03:15The doctor's words

01:03:16exploded in Ronan's ears

01:03:17like a thunder mist

01:03:17leaving his pail

01:03:18and make him sway on his feet.

01:03:20Ronan grabbed the terrified

01:03:21fleeing doctor by the collar,

01:03:23his eyes bloodshot

01:03:25like a cornered beast.

01:03:26Impossible!

01:03:27I checked her myself that day!

01:03:29Her breathing was steady

01:03:30and her temperature was normal!

01:03:32Even you personally diagnosed it

01:03:33as a common chill!

01:03:35How davricate a poisoning story

01:03:37to me now!

01:03:39It was all fake!

01:03:41Madame Vanessa forced me to do it!

01:03:44It was her!

01:03:45She fed the little princess

01:03:46forbid an illusion potion

01:03:48before you arrived!

01:03:49Forcibly creating

01:03:50a false appearance of hell!

01:03:53The doctor's words

01:03:54cut like knives

01:03:55tearing Ronan's

01:03:57self-rightless arrogance

01:03:58to pieces.

01:04:00Madame Vanessa bribed me

01:04:01and threatened my family's lives

01:04:03to maintain the illusion

01:04:04all to make you believe

01:04:05the primary mistress

01:04:06was just throwing a jealous fit

01:04:07so you would ignore

01:04:08the mother and daughter

01:04:09leaving the little princess

01:04:10to die from the poison!

01:04:11and that flask

01:04:14of sacred tree extract!

01:04:15Hearing the word

01:04:15sacred tree extract

01:04:17Ronan's body shook violently

01:04:18his face draining

01:04:20of all color.

01:04:21That spiritual medicine

01:04:22was given to the primary mistress

01:04:23out of my sudden

01:04:23flash of consciousness!

01:04:25It was not only an antidote

01:04:26to all poisons

01:04:26but the sole hope

01:04:27to save the little princess's life!

01:04:29Yet you

01:04:29you detested

01:04:30the primary mistress

01:04:31and forcibly snatched

01:04:32that medicine away

01:04:33to secure the position

01:04:34of the perfectly healthy

01:04:35Jasper!

01:04:37Roman felt as if

01:04:38he'd been struck by lightning

01:04:39all strength

01:04:40instantly draining

01:04:41from his body

01:04:41boundless darkness

01:04:43and immense regret

01:04:44swallowed him like a tsunami

01:04:45he finally realized

01:04:46that Serafina

01:04:47had been telling the truth

01:04:48all along

01:04:49it was him

01:04:50he

01:04:50the father

01:04:51blinded by favoritism

01:04:53and interest

01:04:54who had personally

01:04:55snatched away

01:04:56his daughter's

01:04:56life-saving straw

01:04:57pushing his newborn

01:04:59child into the abyss

01:05:01of death!

01:05:02A spray of crimson blood

01:05:03erupted from Ronan's mouth

01:05:05as he collapsed

01:05:06onto his knees

01:05:07on the freezing stone pavement

01:05:08clutching his

01:05:09agonizingly painful chest

01:05:11letting out

01:05:12a desperate

01:05:13piercing streel

01:05:16Serafina

01:05:17Iris

01:05:18what have I done?

01:05:20what on earth

01:05:20have I done?

01:05:21immense regret

01:05:22drove Ronan

01:05:23completely mad

01:05:23disregarding the blood

01:05:25on his lips

01:05:25he scrammed back

01:05:26to his feet

01:05:26and ran back

01:05:27to the main hall

01:05:28like a madman

01:05:28at this moment

01:05:30he no longer cared

01:05:31about supreme cooperation

01:05:33or reaching the peak

01:05:34he only wanted

01:05:35to find his wife

01:05:36and save his daughter's life

01:05:39mobilize all forces

01:05:41of the wind kingdom

01:05:43and even if you have to

01:05:44hunt through the forbidden forest

01:05:46bring back the primary mistress

01:05:47and the princess

01:05:48go now

01:05:53however one day passed

01:05:55then two days

01:05:56and for three whole days

01:05:58and nights

01:05:58the elite high elves

01:06:00brought back nothing

01:06:00but the desperate news

01:06:01of no trace found

01:06:03Serafina seemed to have

01:06:04dissolved into the wind

01:06:05vanishing completely

01:06:06without a trace

01:06:07failing to find his wife

01:06:09Ronan's grief

01:06:10and self-blame

01:06:11gradually transformed

01:06:12into a towering

01:06:12Merlison test

01:06:13he finally thought

01:06:14of the instigator

01:06:15Vanessa

01:06:16Vanessa

01:06:17you vicious wretch

01:06:19I will tear you

01:06:20into ten thousand pieces

01:06:21gripping the great sword

01:06:23of the wind god

01:06:23that symbolized

01:06:24his kingdom's power

01:06:25he strode toward

01:06:26Vanessa's bedchamber

01:06:27brimming with murderous intent

01:06:29he wanted to settle

01:06:30the score

01:06:31with that evil woman

01:06:32and use the blood

01:06:33of Vanessa

01:06:33and her son

01:06:34to atone for his actions

01:06:35against his wife

01:06:36and daughter

01:06:37however

01:06:37when he reached

01:06:39the chamber

01:06:39he found it

01:06:40completely empty

01:06:41unleashing his divine sense

01:06:43he followed a faint trace

01:06:45of magic

01:06:45straight into the desolate

01:06:47forest behind the temple

01:06:49the moon was dark

01:06:50and the wind howled

01:06:51through the silence

01:06:51of the desolate forest

01:06:52behind the temple

01:06:53Ronan concealed his presence

01:06:54moving step by step

01:06:56into the shadow

01:06:56of the ancient trees

01:06:57with his great sword

01:06:58but before he could see clearly

01:06:59faint whispers

01:07:00and strugglings

01:07:01came from the thicket

01:07:01falling clearly

01:07:02into his ears

01:07:03slow down

01:07:03if that fool Ronan

01:07:04finds out we are dead

01:07:06what are you afraid of

01:07:07he is completely distracted

01:07:17and run

01:07:18boom

01:07:18Ronan's mind went completely blank

01:07:19he knew these voices

01:07:20all too well

01:07:21one belonged to his chief

01:07:22captain of the guards

01:07:23Oswin

01:07:23and the other belonged

01:07:24to Vanessa White Moonlight

01:07:24first love he had cherished

01:07:25for three years

01:07:26Ronan trembled violently

01:07:27staring dead at the

01:07:28disheveled man and woman

01:07:29entwiled behind the tree

01:07:30speaking of which

01:07:31Ronan really is an absolute fool

01:07:33for the past three days

01:07:34he has been holding

01:07:34that fake bloodline report

01:07:36comforting himself

01:07:36that Jasper is his child

01:07:38completely unaware

01:07:38that the heir he raised

01:07:39with the kingdom's

01:07:40sacred medicine

01:07:41is actually your biological

01:07:42flesh and blood

01:07:44the truth slapped

01:07:45Ronan across the face

01:07:46shattering his remaining

01:07:47self-respect and pride

01:07:48it turned out he was not

01:07:49only the murderer

01:07:52biggest fool

01:08:31with a loud explosion

01:08:32a toxic mist

01:08:41surroundings

01:08:42appearing as though

01:08:43he had aged

01:08:43a hundred years

01:08:44Ronan

01:08:45fell to his knees

01:08:46his fingers

01:08:47digging into the dirt

01:08:48as he wept

01:08:50desperately

01:08:50like a beaten

01:08:52dead of night

01:08:55meanwhile

01:09:13standing beside the cradle

01:09:14Serafina gently

01:09:15played with her

01:09:16daughter

01:09:16her eyes filled

01:09:17only with maternal

01:09:18love

01:09:19as for the past

01:09:20humiliations and

01:09:21affection

01:09:21the high elfin king

01:09:22slowly walked over

01:09:23to his daughter

01:09:23looking at his

01:09:24reborn granddaughter

01:09:25with affection

01:09:26he then turned a

01:09:27serious gaze

01:09:27toward Serafina

01:09:28my daughter

01:09:29my daughter

01:09:29I have already ordered

01:09:31against all past

01:09:33complications with

01:09:42rightful responsibilities

01:09:43Serafina

01:09:44Serafina withdrawed her

01:09:45hand and turned to

01:09:45face her father

01:09:46her gaze calm and

01:09:47instaurative

01:09:47completely deblined

01:09:48of mortal weakness

01:09:49father I understand

01:09:50romantic attachments

01:09:52are nothing but a

01:09:53self-inflicted trap

01:09:56control my destiny

01:09:57and protect my iris

01:09:59for a lifetime of

01:10:00peace

01:10:00the father laughed

01:10:01with relief

01:10:02and immediately announced

01:10:05a decree to all

01:10:11high elfin queen

01:10:12of our supreme sanctuary

01:10:13in 10,000 years

01:10:15meanwhile the wind

01:10:16kingdom far at the

01:10:17edge of the continent

01:10:18had fallen into a

01:10:19perilous situation

01:10:20due to Vanessa and

01:10:21Oswin's betrayal

01:10:21and thief of the funds

01:10:22a fierce internal

01:10:24conflict erupted

01:10:24within the kingdom

01:10:25worse still because

01:10:26Serafina had erased

01:10:27her holy name

01:10:28and severed the tree

01:10:28of life withered

01:10:29causing the kingdom's

01:10:30overall magic to

01:10:31rapidly decline

01:10:31and their barrier to

01:10:32Romans sat on his

01:10:33broken throne

01:10:35emaciated and

01:10:35covered in stubble

01:10:36showing none of his

01:10:37past glory as a lord

01:12:00within that divine light

01:12:01images of seraphina

01:12:50light piercing the

01:12:51sky the entire sacred

01:12:52mountain was to look

01:12:53inventable holy unicorns

01:12:55soared through the air

01:12:56as tribal leaders and

01:12:57ancient deities gather

01:12:58to elders meanwhile

01:12:59resmissly in the most

01:13:00remote corner at the

01:13:01outmost edge of the

01:13:02main hall not even

01:13:03daring to raise their

01:13:03heads as a sacred

01:13:05ancient bell echoed

01:13:06through the heavens a

01:13:06grand and vast chant

01:13:07filled the world

01:13:18from the center of the

01:13:19tree ronan and his

01:13:20mother eleda pressed

01:13:20their heads firmly

01:13:21against the freezing

01:13:22floor tiles their

01:13:23bodies trembling

01:13:24violently under the

01:13:24supreme bloodline

01:13:25pressure that descended

01:13:26from above near of a

01:13:27strange procession under

01:13:28the immense pressure

01:13:28ronan managed to raise

01:13:29his head with great

01:13:30difficulty wanting to

01:13:31look upon the

01:13:32mysterious antrus who

01:13:33could save his

01:13:33kingdom's life however

01:13:35when his gaze pierced

01:13:37through the golden

01:13:38light and clearly saw

01:13:39the figure sitting upon

01:13:41the supreme throne the

01:13:42massive natural wings

01:13:44unfurled behind her

01:13:45back and the daughter

01:13:46she held in her arms

01:13:47sucking her fing

01:13:48roman's pupils shrank

01:13:50violently in an instant as

01:13:51if struck by lightning his

01:13:53breath catching completely

01:13:54in his throat that face

01:13:56that noble cold and

01:13:58peerless high elven queen who

01:14:00ruled over the entire

01:14:01sanctuary was actually

01:14:03seraphina seraphina

01:14:06ronan's startled cry

01:14:07shattered the silence of

01:14:08the temple high priestess

01:14:10alonda looked up and

01:14:11recognized the beautiful

01:14:12empress radiating absolute

01:14:19the withered tap two golden

01:14:21spears struck down with the

01:14:22force of natural law

01:14:27she looked down upon him who

01:14:28lay like a dead dog at the

01:14:29bottom of the steps while

01:14:30iris blew bubbles in her

01:14:31arms there was no hatred in

01:14:33her eyes only the disgust one

01:14:42beam of law became a massive

01:14:45struck the throne across the

01:15:00the leaders of the various

01:15:02kingdoms expressed their

01:15:03disdain and spit in

01:15:05disapproval clutching his

01:15:07swollen face self-respect was

01:15:09publicly trampled before all

01:15:25knelt in the dust his pleas echoed

01:15:27empty and desperate seeing an

01:15:29opportunity alita cast aside all

01:15:30dignity and began copycating

01:15:32frantically your divine majesty for

01:15:35the royal family thousand years

01:15:36please stay your hand and save our

01:15:37withering tree of life looking at

01:15:39the mother and icon who were still

01:15:44to the extreme save you the wind

01:15:48because i nourished it with my

01:15:49supreme source power since you will

01:15:50reclaim everything i granted you

01:15:52she slowly raised her hand curving

01:15:53her fingers and made a grasping

01:15:54motion toward ronan and alation from

01:15:56afar

01:15:56in an instant the ancient wind laws

01:15:59inside ronan and alina which had

01:16:00been granted by the royal family

01:16:02turned into strands of golden light

01:16:03and were violently stripped from their

01:16:05bones and souls

01:16:07my magic my cultivation

01:16:13it was a stripping process more

01:16:14painful than death within moments

01:16:16ronan's cultivation plummeted from a

01:16:17high tea lord to something inferior

01:16:19even to an ordinary low tier elf

01:16:20turning him into a complete and

01:16:21vital pass down my divine at the

01:16:23cane from tithe but kieran of the

01:16:24ward can to point of his lee age be

01:16:25reduced to sinful withered wood

01:16:26forbidden from ever entering the

01:16:27sanctuary someone throw this

01:16:29disgusting pile of garbage out a

01:16:30divine guard kicked ronan hard in the

01:16:33abdomen sending the two broken

01:16:34stripped and thoroughly disgraced

01:16:36wretchers tumbling down the nine

01:16:38layers of the altar amid the laughter

01:16:40of all kingdoms

01:16:43internal conflict spread like wildfire

01:16:45through the wind kingdom and the

01:16:46anger of the lower tier elves

01:16:47completely overthrew the main manor

01:16:49meanwhile lying on a bed in a side

01:16:50pavile the old woman alina trembled

01:16:52inside the empty room she had

01:16:53previously been blinded by greed

01:16:54secrecy accepting mass amounts of

01:16:55illicit wealth from vanessa oswin and

01:16:57gamma to secure their positions even

01:16:58the forceful snatching of iris's sacred

01:17:00tree extract had been driven largely by

01:17:01her own greed now retribution had

01:17:03arrived the kingdom was ruined the

01:17:05treasures were lost and even the eldest

01:17:07grandson jasper whom she had cherished

01:17:09night and day as the future hope of

01:17:10the kingdom was confirmed to be

01:17:11nothing to dirty bastard the heavy and

01:17:13terrifying karmic backlight

01:17:14transformed into invisible bullets

01:17:15cutting at her guilty soul night and

01:17:17day the extreme fear and massive

01:17:19mental shock drove the normally

01:17:20arrogant and harsh old woman

01:17:22completely sane that night as the

01:17:24sounds of rioting echo outside the

01:17:26old woman ended her guilty life with a

01:17:28white silk cord hanging from a beam in

01:17:30the cold lonely main manor the next

01:17:34morning when ronan pushed open the door

01:17:37and saw his mother's stiff body hanging

01:17:40in mid-air he only let out a few horny

01:17:43tragic laughs unable to squeeze out even

01:17:46a single tear meanwhile thousands of

01:17:49miles away from the wind kingdom at the

01:17:50frozen border an incredibly luxurious

01:17:52sacred carriage was hurtling through the

01:17:54sky the carriage compartment was stuffed

01:17:55with radiant rare treasures the entire

01:17:57foundation of the wind kingdom that

01:17:59vanessa and chief cap two wolves shown

01:18:01only with absolute os greed for wealth

01:18:03vanessa this chest of divine items

01:18:05belongs to me without my guard team

01:18:07coordinating you wouldn't have even

01:18:09made it out the main gates of the

01:18:10manor nonsense without the lord's

01:18:12palisman that i stole what would you

01:18:13even be these treasures are my

01:18:15reliance for the rest of my life don't

01:18:16you dare take a single penny in the

01:18:18face of interest their past familiarity

01:18:20vanished completely due to an unfair

01:18:21distribution of the spoils malice

01:18:23erupted in both of them and they

01:18:24immediately engaged in a fierce magical

01:18:26brawl inside the narrow carriage wild

01:18:28wind blades and toxic mist clashed

01:18:30violently inside the compartment creating

01:18:31continuous loud explosions

01:18:33as the out-of-control carriage traveled

01:18:35along a highly treacherous mountain path

01:18:36the draft bears panicked and went wild

01:18:46damn damn it

01:18:49amid a piercing streak the out-of-control

01:18:51carriage plunged off the cliff edge

01:18:53carrying the couple and the treasures they

01:18:55had schemed so hard to steal crashing

01:18:57heavily into the boulder-stret bottom of

01:18:59the deep valley beneath the deep valley

01:19:03the rain poured heavily the carriage had

01:19:05shattered completely with broken wood and

01:19:07magic crystals scattered across the ground

01:19:08amid the rubble the bodies of vanessa and

01:19:11ashwick lay twisted together torn apart by

01:19:13the wild magic to the point of being

01:19:14unrecognizable dying an incredibly gruesome

01:19:16death that green tea face that had once used

01:19:20illusion potions to maintain a false

01:19:22appearance of perfection was now sliced and

01:19:24bloodied by the rocks

01:19:28buzz space rippled slightly as several royal

01:19:30guards clad in pure gold robes quietly

01:19:32descended upon the crash site

01:19:33seraphina did not even need to act

01:19:35personally merely sending the sanctuary's

01:19:37cleanup group to wrap things up

01:19:38this is the heavenly karma for those who

01:19:41betray her majesty

01:19:42the guards raised their hands golden light

01:19:44surging from from their palms as the magic

01:19:46arenas activated the scattered ancient

01:19:47treasures and sacred resource of the wind

01:19:49kingdom were entirely gathered and reclaimed

01:19:51these items carried a significant amount of

01:19:53fortune and now that they were continuously

01:19:55funneled into the treasury of the supreme

01:19:56always had the villains had calculated

01:19:59everything only to lose their lives in

01:20:01the end and turn the wind kingdoms

01:20:03thousands of years of accumulation into a

01:20:06stepping stone to secure seraphia's supreme

01:20:08royal power which was ironic to the extreme

01:20:12having lost everything he sank completely

01:20:15into boundless darkness he had no mother

01:20:17no kingdom and no status to pride himself on

01:20:19whenever night fell across the empty ruins

01:20:22another's painful cries from her swaddling

01:20:23clothes those memories transformed into the

01:20:40life-saving medicine at other times he

01:20:57remained trapped indefinitely within the

01:20:59endless regret he had personally fashioned

01:21:02roman curled up in the corner of a freezing

01:21:04stone seat his clothes tattered his once

01:21:07proud spine broken by regret his hands were

01:21:10blooded and his fingernails filled with mud

01:21:12from frantically digging through the rubble

01:21:14for garments seraphina had left behind

01:21:34merely clutching a tattered cloth doll

01:21:36tightly to his chest a toy he had fashioned

01:21:38for iris from memory since his magic was

01:21:41entirely gone his appearance was aging at a

01:21:43visible rate his long hair turning into dry

01:21:46white strands whenever the harsh alcohol hit his

01:21:49throat he would begin to self-harm he used

01:21:52sharp stones to carve the name seraphina deeply

01:21:56into his arms drawing blood yet it could not

01:21:59stop the splitting pain in his chest

01:22:13second of being alive is an absolute hell

01:22:16the once high and mighty king had ultimately transformed into a mentally

01:22:20degranged madman fighting with wild dogs for food in the ruins death would be a

01:22:25merciful release for him and remaining conscious to endure this life sentence of

01:22:29regret was his ultimate punishment as for jasper the three-year-old fake he who

01:22:35had been pampered by the entire kingdom he was after all an innocent and ignorant

01:22:40child who did not understand the greed and sins of adults with the deaths of

01:22:43nair and osquin the vanity privileges and flambority that had once around him

01:22:47him vanished overnight once the truth of the royal bloodline array spread he was

01:23:17mother mother where did you go
