Transcript
00:00After Lucian's Phoenix fire burned me again, I went to the Academy Healing Wing alone.
00:05That's a deep burn.
00:07He'll definitely leave a scar.
00:09Has your magical pet even completed academy training?
00:11He has.
00:13He was one of the top graduates of the magical pet program.
00:17Lucian rarely sent this many messages.
00:20It's just a small burn. Did you really need to go to the healing wing?
00:24I'm hungry. Come back and make dinner.
00:26Ever since I ended up with you, I never get anything good.
00:28You're terrible at taking care of a phoenix.
00:31So that is what he thought.
00:37I'd like to change my magical pet.
00:39Miss Allura Vale.
00:41You and Lucius Aranen have completed one year of trial bond.
00:44You'll soon be eligible to apply for a soul bond rite.
00:46Why do you want to change magical pets now?
00:48One year already.
00:50I used to look forward to the soul bond rite more than anything.
00:54I had even excitedly discussed ceremony rings with Lucian.
00:59You think you're worthy of me?
01:03Crying?
01:04I'll never complete a soul bond rite with you.
01:07Low-level mages, you're ugly even when you're crying.
01:11I really was one of the most ordinary students in the academy.
01:16My magic was weak.
01:18No matter how hard I tried, I could never meet Lucian's standards.
01:24He doesn't like me.
01:25Maybe he even hated me.
01:28Trained magical pets are loyal to their masters.
01:30This shouldn't happen under normal circumstances.
01:33Something that shouldn't happen.
01:36Yet somehow it happened to me.
01:40Maybe I'm just unlucky.
01:42Please don't blame yourself.
01:44Maybe there was a problem with our training.
01:47Come with me.
01:51Back then, I spent every credit and every scholarship I had to qualify for Lucian.
01:57According to academy rules, I had the right to choose another magical pet of the same rank.
02:02All of them were attractive.
02:04Not quite as stunning as Lucian, but still impressive.
02:08Do you have anything else?
02:09I wanted a serpent magical pet.
02:11I'd heard they were loyal and patient.
02:13Even if I was a low-level mage, maybe they would like me.
02:16Not at the moment.
02:18But a new training batch will open in two months.
02:20You'll have priority selection.
02:24He was beautiful.
02:26Dangerly beautiful.
02:27A dragon in magical pet.
02:29Actually, he's one of the most obedient magical pets here.
02:33The academy once had high hopes for him, but his dragon blood never awakened.
02:37If no one applies for him today, he'll be sent to Blackmoor Trial Grounds.
02:40He was raised by the academy.
02:42He's incredibly gentle, but no one wants him.
02:46No one wanted him.
02:47Neither did anyone wanted me.
02:49Once they're sent to Blackmoor Trial Grounds, they get torn apart piece by piece.
02:53There's barely anything left.
02:55That must hurt.
02:58A dragon?
03:00He could probably count as a snake.
03:02Is he really obedient?
03:04He is.
03:05Then, I'll take him.
03:09The staff member said the black dragon would arrive in three days.
03:13I carefully put the magical pet transfer petition into my bag.
03:17From a distance, I saw Lucian and Seraphina.
03:21Seraphina Vos was one of the most famous noble students in Moonvale House.
03:25She came from a pureblood mage family.
03:27Smart.
03:28Elegant.
03:29Nothing like me.
03:30Ever since she met Lucian, she had been bringing him expensive phoenix elixirs.
03:35The two of them had grown closer and closer.
03:40Elara, earning credits again?
03:43Honestly, you and Lucio are almost ready for a soul bond, right?
03:46You should at least put some effort into your appearance.
03:49Look at yourself.
03:50Who would believe you are future mates when they see you together?
03:56I think I look fine.
03:59She wouldn't look good even if she dressed up.
04:02Better to pretend she doesn't care.
04:04At least people won't realize she's actually ugly.
04:08Lucian, that's a little harsh.
04:11You're trying to help her.
04:13She just thinks you're being nosy.
04:15Low-level mages will never understand how powerful mages think.
04:20Being assigned to her was the worst thing that ever happened to me.
04:27Lucian wasn't always like this.
04:28Even when I couldn't afford expensive phoenix elixirs.
04:31Even when the academy uniforms I bought rubbed his delicate skin raw.
04:35Lucian used to tell me firmly that...
04:36Meeting you was the best thing that had ever happened to me.
04:39Everything changed after we ran into another phoenix.
04:42He had been in the same training program as Lucian.
04:44One of his former classmates.
04:45Well, if it isn't the famous Lucian.
04:47How did you end up with such an ugly low-level mage?
04:50But I guess it makes sense.
04:51A defective phoenix and a low-level mage.
04:54Perfect match.
04:56Defective is just a word.
04:59We have each other.
05:00That is enough.
05:06You've never been in the sky.
05:09Of course you think living as trash isn't so bad.
05:11Later, Lucian met Serafina.
05:13She had resources and status I could never compete with.
05:16They became closer and closer.
05:18Serafina would naturally lean against him.
05:20You're my magical pet.
05:21Could you keep a little distance from Serafina?
05:23Alara.
05:25If I hadn't been defective back then, do you think you would have qualified to apply for me?
05:29You just took advantage of me.
05:31So why do you always act like my master?
05:33But back then, he was the one holding onto my sleeve, begging me to take him away.
05:41Under the academy system, magical pets were more than companions.
05:44They enhanced a mage's power during combat classes.
05:48And once both sides reached adulthood, they could complete a soul bond rite.
05:53Lucian was once the academy's star, expected to make any bonded mage powerful.
05:58But his failed nirvana flame made him an incomplete phoenix.
06:01No one wanted him.
06:02In the end, the academy decided to send him to the Blackmoor Trial Grounds.
06:06That day, I had only gone to the registry to collect a basic assignment.
06:12Please save me.
06:13I'll be good to you.
06:15I'll be your family.
06:18I don't want to be sent there.
06:21I never had a family.
06:23I survived on academy aid and one low-paying assignment after another.
06:27Family.
06:28That word felt unfamiliar and precious.
06:32Lucian's words moved me.
06:33I spent all my credits.
06:35Only then was I able to apply for Lucian.
06:38I knew he was ashamed of that day, so I never mentioned it again.
06:42But in his heart, I was the one who used him.
06:49If you hadn't kept touching me, you wouldn't have gotten hurt.
06:52You brought this on yourself.
06:54Lucian.
06:56Can you come to the healing wing with me?
06:59I promised Serafina I'd go shopping with her today.
07:02And even if I went, I couldn't make it hurt less.
07:05Stop acting like everything is my fault.
07:10That burn is deep.
07:11It'll leave a scar.
07:12It'll ache every time it rains.
07:14You and your magical pet clearly aren't right for each other.
07:17Maybe it's time to let go.
07:19That was when I finally understood.
07:21Things didn't have to stay this way.
07:24Lucian.
07:26Do you really think being with me is miserable?
07:29Of course.
07:31A low-level mage like you finally got me.
07:33How could you ever let go?
07:35How you'll cling to me until I die?
07:40Looks like I made the right decision.
07:42I prepared a gift for you.
07:44You'll see it in a few days.
07:46Don't say it's another cheap phoenix elixir.
07:49Even firecrows won't drink that stuff.
07:50I always have to waste time throwing it away.
07:52No.
07:53It's what you've always wanted most.
07:56It better be.
08:02Lucian and I made plans to go shopping today.
08:05We have similar taste.
08:06We always have something to talk about.
08:10Alara, you're not going to be upset, right?
08:13I would have been upset before.
08:14I would have told Lucian not to go.
08:16If he never wanted to go out with me,
08:19why was he always happy to go with someone else?
08:21But today, I don't mind.
08:25You're not angry.
08:28No.
08:29You can go wherever you want.
08:32The Academy Market was having its end-of-season sale today.
08:35I needed to buy supplies for the dragon and magical pet arriving in three days.
08:39Isn't this better?
08:40Come on, let's go.
08:44For the first time, there was no bitterness in my chest.
08:48I simply put on my shoes and left.
08:51The Academy Market was crowded all year round.
08:53Most visitors were ordinary students and their magical pets.
08:56Without realizing it, I found myself smiling too.
08:59If Lucian hadn't begged me to save him back then, I would have been living that life already.
09:04By the time I, the sky was dark.
09:07To my surprise, Lucian was home.
09:09Normally, he wouldn't return until late at night.
09:12Where did you go?
09:14Even didn't even make dinner.
09:16Living a hard life with you is one thing, but I can't even fill my stomach.
09:21You're terrible at taking care of me.
09:25I thought you'd eat with Serafina.
09:28Besides, I didn't think you liked my cooking.
09:31On your last birthday, I spent an entire afternoon making Phoenix Flame Pudding.
09:35You threw all of it in the trash.
09:43What are these for?
09:45You seriously think this cheap stuff should touch my feathers?
09:47Since you already bought them, I guess I'll...
09:49They aren't for you.
09:50What?
09:51I can't give a pureblood phoenix like you the life you deserve.
09:53So I've already submitted the transfer petition.
09:56In three days, you won't have to see me anymore.
10:02After a long moment...
10:05Serafina was right.
10:08What?
10:09You saw me getting close to her.
10:11So now you're pretending to let me go.
10:14This magical pet transfer thing...
10:16Looks like she was right.
10:19Do you really think a few threats will make me crawl to you?
10:22Like those cheap, magical pets and start pleasing you?
10:25If that's what you want to believe...
10:27My calmness only seemed to make him angrier.
10:34You just want to solve on Ryle with me, don't you?
10:36You started asking me about ceremony rings and pushed me to live with you.
10:39If you want me that badly, just say it.
10:42Don't play these dirty little games!
10:44Magical pets were expected to accompany their masters.
10:47But Lucien and I had never truly been close.
10:50He keeps me at a distance, yet he's so close with Serafina.
10:53I asked about it once.
10:55Serafina almost fell.
10:56So I helped her.
10:59Not everything is as dirty as low-level maches imagine.
11:03Right in front of me, he tore the calendar page into pieces.
11:06Paper scattered across the floor.
11:08Even if I did complete a soul-bond route with you, I'd still spend time with Serafina.
11:13When we're out in public, people can't know we're connected...
11:16Lucien!
11:17No wonder they labeled you a defective phoenix.
11:21Applying for you was the biggest mistake of my life!
11:32It was my first time meeting a dragon and a magical pet up close.
11:36Would he really be obedient?
11:40My dear master, my name is Kale.
11:47From today on, I belong to you.
11:53Master!
11:54Don't be scared, he's really gentle.
11:56Kale is Dragonkin.
11:58But he has never hurt anyone.
12:00He follows commands very well.
12:02Especially from the person he accepts.
12:05But the Academy Magical Pet Housing District is rebuilding now.
12:10Lucien's transfer process may be delayed.
12:13Would it be possible for him to stay here temporarily during that time?
12:17The Academy will cover all the costs.
12:23As if trying to hook his finger around mine.
12:26Filthy snake.
12:31Master, he's staring at me.
12:34I'm scared.
12:35The last bit in my scene to worry to scared.
12:37Who said Dragon Ewe at her difficult?
12:38Wasn't he wonderful, gentle, obedient?
12:41Exactly the kind of magical pet I had always wanted.
12:45Mira's smile vanished.
12:47She pulled out her Academy identification badge and a crystal seal.
12:50Identification number F019.
12:52Pure Bled Phoenix Magical Pet.
12:54Lucien Arian, correct?
12:56The color slowly drained from Lucien's face.
12:59Yes.
13:00Mira's tone became completely official.
13:02On behalf of the Academy Magical Pet Registry, I am here to formally notify you.
13:08Your master, Miss Alara Vale, has submitted a magical pet transfer petition.
13:14The Academy is deeply disappointed by your repeated failures during the trial bond period.
13:20In 14 days, you will undergo an official reassignment evaluation.
13:24After Mira left, Lucien immediately stood up.
13:27He grabbed Kale and yanked me.
13:28Filthy snake.
13:29I'm away from my side.
13:30What are you doing?
13:32You think your little act is convincing?
13:34Kale didn't fight back.
13:35His wrist slammed against the wooden cabinet.
13:38Even so, he only slowly pushed himself up from the floor, then carefully looked at me.
13:42I shoved Lucien aside and hurried over.
13:45Are you okay?
13:46Lucien stumbled backward.
13:48Alara!
13:49You pushed me for him?
13:50I knew it.
13:51You're just playing games.
13:52You brought this snake here to force me into a soul bond, right?
13:55Go withdraw the transfer petition right now.
13:57Send him back.
13:57Otherwise, I will never complete a soul bond right with you.
14:00I turned around.
14:01I had never felt more tired of someone.
14:03Lucien.
14:05Then let me tell you one last time.
14:09I don't want you anymore.
14:15Lucien stormed out.
14:16The lingering heat of Phoenix Fire still hung in the living room.
14:20I helped Kale treat his injuries, but he kept turning his face away and kept pulling back.
14:27My heart sank.
14:29Do you regret it?
14:30I was terrified of ending up with another Lucien.
14:32I can't afford high-grade dragon blood elixirs.
14:35So I forced myself to say everything first.
14:38I can only buy ordinary care supplies.
14:41I'm a low-level mage.
14:43I spend most of my days doing basic assignments.
14:46I probably won't look very dignified when I come home.
14:50If you're embarrassed by me, I can take you back to the Registry.
14:52I quietly wiped my damp palms behind my back.
14:55Finally, Kale turned toward me.
14:58I'm sorry.
14:59His silver-gray eyes shone brightly under the lamp.
15:01My heart slowly sank, so it was happening again.
15:04But the next second, his eyes turned red.
15:06I'm just too happy.
15:07I was so happy to be chosen by you that I couldn't control my expression.
15:11I was afraid I'd look ugly, so I didn't dare look at you.
15:15His voice broke.
15:17Then he started crying.
15:18I thought I was really going to be sent to Blackmore Trial Grounds.
15:24But then Mira suddenly told me someone wanted me.
15:27I hugged your photo all night.
15:29I couldn't believe someone actually wanted me.
15:31Master, I think you're adorable.
15:34I'm not embarrassed at all.
15:36I've never been happier than I am right now.
15:39He was so silly.
15:40He was already crying.
15:43Mira had told me that Kale rarely spoke.
15:45No one had ever applied for him.
15:47Over time, he became timid.
15:50Yet now, he had said more in a single minute than anyone expected.
15:54Maybe he had been holding it in for too long.
15:56Something soft brushed against my heart.
15:58Was there really someone who felt lucky just because they had me?
16:02Don't call me Master anymore.
16:04His palm was damp with nervous sweat.
16:06Just call me Alara.
16:12Lucien came back that evening, and Serafina came with him.
16:16The moment she stepped inside, her eyes swept across the dorm with open disgust.
16:20Alara, you've been at the Academy for years.
16:24And this is all you have?
16:26Lucien said you want to replace him.
16:28You don't know how lucky you are.
16:29If he were mine, I'd give that rare phoenix the best of everything.
16:33What would a low-tier major know?
16:35From inside the room, Lucien answered coldly.
16:37She picked some defective dragon that looks more like a snake.
16:40The whole place smells like a cold-blooded creature.
16:42There were only 14 days left.
16:44I didn't feel like arguing anymore.
16:47I lowered my head and continued brushing the small scales along Kale's tail.
16:51No one had ever wanted him before.
16:53The registry only gave him the most basic care.
16:55If I didn't brush the scales loose slowly, they would bother him.
16:59Lucien and Serafina kept taking turns mocking me.
17:02Then Kale suddenly spoke.
17:05Phoenix, you smell worse.
17:07Lucien froze.
17:07What did you say?
17:08Kale stepped in front of me and blocked Lucien's view.
17:11I said you stink, and you're always glued to other mages.
17:15Disloyal.
17:16Fickle.
17:17If you didn't hear me the first time, I can say it ten more times.
17:20I stared at Kale in surprise.
17:22He looked shy, but his words were sharp.
17:25Was he defending me?
17:26A small warmth spread through my chest.
17:29I looked at him.
17:30Kale instantly dropped the cold expression.
17:32He blinked innocently.
17:33Alara, if you dislike Lucien that much,
17:36then you won't mind letting him stay with me for a while, right?
17:39I nodded.
17:41I don't mind.
17:45Lucien threw the clothes and his hands onto the bed.
17:48Alara, you've wanted to get rid of me for a long time, haven't you?
17:53The shirt beneath his foot cost a thousand gold coins.
17:56I was still wearing discount sweatshirts.
17:58Sold three for two hundred silver.
18:00I sighed softly.
18:02Lucien, hasn't leaving me always been what you wanted?
18:05Lucien stared at me.
18:07Then he repeated through gritted teeth.
18:08That's right.
18:10I'm leaving you.
18:11You're not rejecting me.
18:13I don't want to spend another minute in this awful place.
18:15Serafina immediately smiled.
18:17Lucien, don't worry.
18:19Come to my house.
18:20I'll give you the very best.
18:22But Lucien didn't answer.
18:24The only sound left in the room was his tail striking the floor in irritation.
18:28He took two steps forward, then looked back at me.
18:31I lowered my head and pretended not to notice.
18:34The smile on Serafina's face stiffened.
18:36Lucien.
18:37Lucien moved again.
18:39But instead of following her, he pushed her outside.
18:42I don't want to stay here, but the Registry told me to remain with Alara temporarily.
18:48I'd rather not break Academy rules.
18:52Serafina, once I'm placed back on the application list, you can come find me.
18:57The door shut, cutting off Serafina's unwilling protests.
19:00Alara, let's go to your room.
19:02Kale glanced at Lucien's stiff back, then leaned close to my ear.
19:05It's late.
19:06We should sleep.
19:07His breath brushed my ear.
19:09My skin immediately felt warm.
19:11It was a completely normal sentence.
19:13Yet somehow it sounded strange.
19:15Lucien spun around.
19:16You two are sleeping together.
19:18Kale rested one hand lightly on my shoulder, almost like he was pulling me into his arms.
19:23His expression remained innocent.
19:26Of course.
19:29Isn't that normal?
19:33Right.
19:34X, Mr. Phoenix.
19:39I fluffed up the new bedding.
19:41Sorry.
19:42Once Lucien leaves, I'll clean out the other room for you.
19:45At least the weather is warm.
19:48You won't get cold sleeping on the floor?
19:50I paused, then looked at the dragon tail behind him.
19:53Although you're a dragon.
19:56I guess you don't get cold easily anyway.
19:58I turned around.
20:00Kale was standing by the door.
20:03The small horns on his head looked strangely pitiful beneath the light.
20:06I slowed my movements.
20:08What's wrong?
20:09You don't want to sleep on the floor.
20:12Kale's tail drooped even lower.
20:14His silver eyes reflected the light like they were wet.
20:17Then you can take the bed.
20:18I'll sleep on the floor.
20:21Did I do something wrong?
20:23I blinked.
20:24What?
20:25You've been good.
20:27The next second, Kale suddenly dropped to his knees.
20:29He was huge.
20:30The small room instantly felt even smaller.
20:32His face, usually cold and fierce, looked oddly pitiful and helpless under the warm.
20:38If I did something wrong, I can change.
20:43Please don't make me sleep alone.
20:45I learned how to take care of mages at the registry.
20:49I'll be good.
20:50He rushed to my face.
20:51So, he was crying because we were sleeping separately.
20:54Instinctively, I reached out to wipe his tears.
20:57Kale leaned into my hand, rubbing lightly against my palm.
21:00His scales were cool.
21:02Can I?
21:03But his breath was warm.
21:05I stammered.
21:06What we just met.
21:07I thought maybe you wouldn't want that.
21:09Lucian never did.
21:11He once said getting close to a low-tier mage, like me, was worse than being sent back to Blackmoor
21:16Trial Grounds.
21:21Kale pressed a gentle kiss against my palm.
21:23Warm.
21:24Soft.
21:26I do.
21:28Allora.
21:30I want to stay by your side.
21:32Protect you.
21:33And have a home with you.
21:36I'm a defective dragon nobody wanted.
21:40You're the only one who chose me.
21:42So I like you.
21:45I'm not like that phoenix outside.
21:47You're the only one in my heart.
21:51I took a step back and sat down on the edge of the bed.
21:54Kale's hand was still wrapped around my calf, warm enough to burn.
21:58He knelt beside the bed.
22:00He knelt beside the bed.
22:00Looking up at me.
22:01Still crying.
22:04Please.
22:08Give me a chance.
22:30The kiss at my neck stilled, then rose to silence me with his lips.
22:40You're still thinking about him?
22:43So you like him more than me, is that it?
22:45I am not.
22:49And then who do you like more?
22:51Then who do you like more?
22:56You!
22:57I like you, alright?
22:58As soon as I said it, the sounds out silent.
23:02Kale, satisfied, reached over and turned on the light.
23:11The next morning, every movement sent a dull ache through my body as I got dressed.
23:16We're Dragonkin, always this strong in the head.
23:20Kale wrapped his arms around me from behind.
23:23Oh, Laura, you smell so good.
23:27Oh, sweet.
23:30Can we sleep together again tonight?
23:35Stop it.
23:36I can barely walk.
23:37I pulled the door open.
23:38Then I saw Lucian.
23:39The words died in my throat.
23:41The leather railing beside him was covered in deep creases from how hard he had been gripping it.
23:46His eyes were dark with anger, and something else.
23:49The look on his face made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
23:53Allara.
23:56His voice sounded forced, like each word had been dragged out of his throat.
24:02Have you no shame?
24:04Before I could answer, Kale's arms slid around my waist.
24:08His posture instantly turned aggressive.
24:11Phoenix.
24:14If I hear you insult Elisa one more time,
24:19I'll rip your throat out.
24:21Lucian's pupils narrowed into slits.
24:23His fangs shook.
24:25You can try.
24:27Because I'd love to kill you too.
24:30The room filled with the tension of two male beasts ready to fight.
24:34I turned and squeezed Kale's fingers.
24:37Don't waste your time on someone who doesn't matter.
24:40He'll be gone soon.
24:43Kale's eyes flickered.
24:45The hostility disappeared first from him.
24:47He lowered his gaze and pouted.
24:52He's so scary, Allara.
24:55He scared me.
24:57I rubbed one of his small horns.
24:59It felt surprisingly nice.
25:01That's just how he is.
25:04Ignore him.
25:07Let's go buy you a robe.
25:12Lucian swayed slightly.
25:14The rigid line of his back softened.
25:16Then he stepped in front of the door, blocking our way.
25:19Allara, don't choose him.
25:21Don't you like me anymore?
25:24Whatever he can do for you, I can do it too.
25:28Send him back now.
25:29I'll pretend none of this ever happened.
25:31Behind me, Kale's body went stiff.
25:33I was silent for a moment.
25:35Then I said something completely unrelated.
25:40You know, I grew up in an orphanage.
25:42So?
25:43I looked away, remembering.
25:45That's why I'm good at reading people.
25:48You were happy at first.
25:50Then you grew sick of me.
25:54No matter what I did, it wasn't enough.
25:56You still looked down on me.
25:59So I decided to replace my magical pet.
26:02You should be happy now.
26:05But you are jealousies.
26:07And anger.
26:09Lucian, can you tell me why?
26:14Dark clouds covered the sun.
26:16The room grew dim.
26:18I couldn't see his expression clearly.
26:20His fingers looked pale.
26:22Almost blue.
26:24Like he was freezing.
26:25For a long time, he said nothing.
26:28I finally gave up.
26:30And walked past him with Kale.
26:32Suddenly, Lucian grabbed my other hand.
26:35I turned around.
26:37For the first time, cracks appeared in his perfect expression.
26:40Like a porcelain doll breaking apart.
26:43Alara.
26:44His voice was quiet.
26:46If I tell you now.
26:48That I really like you.
26:51Is it too late?
26:55The whole thing was so ridiculous.
26:58So ridiculous that it wasn't until Kale and I beat Lucian unconscious that I finally reacted.
27:05Kale!
27:06I grabbed his arm.
27:09Stop!
27:10If he dies, the Academy will destroy you!
27:15Kale finally stopped.
27:18Breathing hard.
27:19His knuckles were covered in blood.
27:23Bastard!
27:24He pointed at Lucian.
27:26You tell my master you like her?
27:30Homewrecker!
27:32I'll beat you every time I see you!
27:35Lucian struggled onto one elbow.
27:38Then wiped blood from the corner of his mouth.
27:42Actually...
27:43I was here first.
27:45You're the other man.
27:47Kale really kicked out of me.
27:49Lucian collapsed flatly forward.
27:52Not moving.
27:53I rushed over in panic.
27:55Lucian gritted his teeth in pain.
27:58But his eyes lit up the moment he saw me.
28:01You still care about me?
28:04Don't you?
28:06After making sure he wasn't dying, I let out a breath.
28:10I'm worried you'll die.
28:12And then Kale will be destroyed.
28:16Lucian grabbed my wrist, almost pleading.
28:19I don't need the Academy healing wing.
28:24Alara.
28:26You heard me, didn't you?
28:28I really do like you.
28:31Weren't you the one who wanted a soul bond right with me?
28:34You wanted us to choose rings together.
28:37We can do it right now.
28:42Let's go.
28:44Lucian.
28:45I gently pulled my hand away.
28:48Serafine already promised she'd apply for you.
28:50You won't be sent to Blackmore trial grounds.
28:52So you don't have to force yourself anymore.
28:55You don't need to pretend.
28:57It's not pretending.
28:59It's not pretending.
29:02It's not.
29:05I really like you.
29:07I always have.
29:10Since the first day we met.
29:13You were kind.
29:18How could I not fall for you?
29:21I should have felt something.
29:23Instead, I almost laughed.
29:25Because what part of his behavior had ever looked like love?
29:29I tilted my head, genuinely curious.
29:32So that's how you love someone?
29:34By calling her disgusting?
29:37By calling her pathetic?
29:41By letting her get hurt?
29:44And then telling her it was her own fault?
29:47With every question, Lucian's face grew paler.
29:50Until all the color was gone.
29:53Finally, I spoke softly.
29:55Lucian.
29:56Then I don't want that kind of love.
30:01And honestly,
30:03I don't believe you love me at all.
30:10Stop lying to yourself.
30:11Once I was sure he wasn't in danger of dying,
30:14I took Kale's hand and walked out the door.
30:20I took Kale straight to the Academy Healing Wing.
30:23The healer was the same one as before.
30:26She looked at Kale with obvious disdain.
30:29So this is your magical pet?
30:31The one who got you hurt three times in one month
30:34and never even came with you?
30:35Now he's the one injured
30:37and you're still bringing him here.
30:39I couldn't help laughing.
30:41No, you've got it wrong.
30:43He's my new magical pet.
30:45The healer immediately looked embarrassed.
30:49I'm sorry.
30:51Last time I had low blood sugar,
30:52Alara caught me before I hit the floor.
30:55She's such a good girl.
30:58I thought you were the pet who kept hurting her.
31:01Kale immediately looked at me.
31:02His eyes grew complicated.
31:05Then he said softly,
31:07Alara,
31:09my heart hurts for you.
31:14I've always been good at making peace with things.
31:17When Lucian treated me badly,
31:18I told myself I simply wasn't good enough.
31:21So I worked harder.
31:22I was hurt.
31:23Of course I was.
31:25But I turned that pain into something useful.
31:28Something that helped me grow stronger.
31:29I thought nothing could affect me anymore.
31:32Not other people's contempt.
31:35Not the people closest to me hurting me.
31:38But then Kale said he felt sorry for me.
31:41Sorry for my wounds.
31:43Sorry for all my efforts.
31:47He told me I was his favorite person in the world.
31:51For the first time,
31:52someone truly saw me.
31:55Something warm and painful flooded my chest.
31:58So full,
31:59it almost spilled from my eyes.
32:04Focus on your treatment.
32:10Maybe things really do get better after you've hit rock bottom.
32:14I lost my family.
32:16Then I met a Lucian who never loved me.
32:18Maybe every hardship I went through existed for one reason.
32:22To bring Kale to me.
32:26For the next few weeks,
32:28Kale and I silently ignored Lucian.
32:30Kale even found a job patrolling the academy at night.
32:33I have two hands and two feet.
32:36And I'm a man.
32:39I want to do something for you.
32:41That was when I realized something.
32:44Life was supposed to be shared.
32:46You weren't meant to carry everything alone.
32:49Every day,
32:50Lucian sat in the living room,
32:52watching us leave,
32:53watching us come back.
32:57The night before he was scheduled to leave,
32:59he stopped me outside the dormitory.
33:02I wait for you every day.
33:06And you don't even look at me,
33:09Alara.
33:13I know I was wrong.
33:14Everyone makes mistakes.
33:19Why can't you forgive me just once?
33:23I shook my head.
33:25I'm not angry with you.
33:27I understand.
33:29You're a pure-blood phoenix.
33:32I'm a low-tier mage.
33:34I really did get lucky when I was assigned to you.
33:38So I understand why you weren't satisfied.
33:42Hope instantly appeared on Lucian's face.
33:45So you forgive me?
33:48I'll treat you better this time.
33:53Tomorrow we'll send that snake back.
33:55No.
33:59Kale isn't leaving.
34:02I think you're confusing your feelings
34:03because you're afraid of being sent back to the registry.
34:06Once our contract is terminated,
34:08everything will return to normal.
34:10Lucian shook his head desperately.
34:12No.
34:14No, that's not it.
34:18Alara,
34:19what do I have to say to make you believe me?
34:24I really do love you.
34:28The whole thing was so ridiculous.
34:31So ridiculous that it wasn't until Kyler nearly beat Lucian unconscious that I finally reacted.
34:38Kale, stop!
34:41If he dies, the Academy will destroy you.
34:45Bastard.
34:46You tell my master you like her?
34:48Homewrecker!
34:49I'll beat you every time I see you!
34:51Lucian struggled onto one elbow,
34:54then wiped blood from the corner of his mouth.

35:50So you don't have to force yourself anymore.
35:52You don't need to pretend.
35:54It's not pretending.
35:55His voice cracked.
35:56It's not!
35:57I really like you.
35:59I always have.
36:00Since the first day we met,
36:01you were kind.

38:32I lost my family.
38:34I lost my family.

40:13I really do love you.
