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