05:47C'est parti !
06:18C'est parti !
06:51Just like the heart that waited for you today.
06:58Ivy, if it bothers you, I can take off the dress.
07:05C'est parti !
07:07C'est parti !
07:09C'est parti !
07:16My pain is just an inconvenience.
07:20Caius did not answer.
07:22His silence was answer enough.
07:24I turned and went to the bond registry.
07:29At this hour ?
07:30I want to dissolve my bond with the Phoenix.
07:33Are you sure ?
07:34You have six days until adulthood.
07:36If you dissolve the bond and fail to find a new guardian spirit, you'll be sent to the Forbidden Tower.
07:49I'm sure.
07:51The Phoenix Saint has three days to refuse the dissolution.
07:57Then let him refuse.
07:58Aren't you afraid ?
08:00I am.
08:02But I'm more afraid of spending the rest of my life waiting for him to turn around.
08:12The next day, I went to the bond registry.
08:16Isn't that the curse, girl?
08:17The Phoenix doesn't want anymore.
08:19Careful.
08:20She hasn't officially been thrown away yet.
08:24I want to find a new guardian spirit.
08:27Don't expect a high-ranking spirit.
08:30A lower one is fine.
08:33Even lower spirits get to choose.
08:39Marsh lizard spirit.
08:41Weak bloodline.
08:42Bad temper.
08:44No bonded partner yet.
08:47I'll meet him.
08:50You're really willing ?
08:56I want to live.
09:05You're Ivy ?
09:07Yes.
09:10The Phoenix doesn't want you anymore ?
09:12I'm dissolving the bond.
09:16Will that mark affect the binding ?
09:19No.
09:22My bloodline is weak.
09:24Your reputation is ruined.
09:27I suppose we suit each other.
09:29It was cruel.
09:30But I swallowed it.
09:33If it meant living, I could endure a few cruel words.
09:37Are you willing to bind with me ?
09:40Tomorrow afternoon.
09:42Bond registry.
09:45I'm sorry.
09:46Thank you.
09:50When I walked out of the old aphththary, the sky was grey.
09:54But for the first time, I felt I still had somewhere to go.
10:05Who did you go to see ?
10:07Who did you go to see ?
10:10None of your concern.
10:12The marsh lizard spirit ?
10:14You would rather bind yourself to that low creature than remain with me.
10:18You were the one who let me go first.
10:20When did I let you go ?
10:21On the day of our ceremony, you never came.
10:24I waited for you until every candle burned out.
10:27You were in your room making Lillia's heart feather gown.
10:30She has to face the black dragon tomorrow.
10:32So ?
10:33She has to face the black dragon so she gets your heart feather.
10:36I was humiliated in front of the whole academy, and I didn't even get an apology.
10:41Ivy, stop measuring yourself against her.
10:44So I'm not even worth measuring.
10:46That isn't what I meant.
10:48Then what did you mean ?
10:49He was always like this.
10:51Quick to hurt me, slow to explain.
10:53I'm looking for a new guardian spirit because I want to survive.
10:57Not because I want to upset you.
10:59I can keep you alive.
11:01With the bond you gave me like charity, or with the mercy,
11:04you can take back, the moment Lillia needs you ?
11:07You'll regret this.
11:08I already do.
11:10I regret trusting you.
11:12The next afternoon, I went to the bond registry.
11:16The binding circle was empty.
11:17The lizard spirit never came.
11:20I waited from noon until dusk.
11:22Ivy, he isn't coming.
11:24Why ?
11:25He bonded with someone else this morning.
11:27With whom ?
11:28The merchant guild master's niece.
11:30Someone paid three years of bond support for her overnight
11:33and gave the lizard spirit a second tier magic core.
11:36Yesterday, Caius had said,
11:38You'll regret this.
11:40So this was what he meant.
11:41He did not want me,
11:43and he would not let anyone else save me.
11:48Night fell.
11:50I sat alone on the stone steps outside the bond registry.
11:53I had five days left before adulthood.
11:57No phoenix.
11:58No lizard spirit.
12:00No new guardian.
12:02In the distance, the main hall blazed with light.
12:05Everyone was busy preparing for Lillia's binding ceremony with the black dragon.
12:10White roses covered the steps.
12:12Silver candles were lit one by one.
12:15Her path was always paved for her.
12:17Mine was always blocked.
12:19I stood and brushed the dust from my skirt.
12:22If I only had five days left, then at least for one night I would live for myself.
12:27So I turned and walked toward the busiest tavern in the outer district.
12:30There were no white roses here.
12:32No silver candles.
12:34And no one whispering about Lillia's ceremony.
12:37Only ale, roasted meat, and loud laughter.
12:40I ordered the most expensive honey wine.
12:43Then an entire plate of roasted lamb.
12:46If I might not live past adulthood, I might as well spend what little I had.
12:53Alone?
12:55Alone.
12:56Academy girl?
12:57Not for much longer.
13:00Then drink something worth remembering.
13:03I lifted the cup and took a long swallow.
13:05The honey wine was sweet.
13:07It still burned going down for 18 years.
13:10I had saved every copper coin for sacred sycamore.
13:13For morning dew.
13:14For a phoenix who never looked back.
13:16I should have bought myself a decent meal much sooner.
13:19A few academy servants sat at the next table.
13:21They had drunk too much and their voices kept rising.
13:24Have you heard about tomorrow's black dragon binding ceremony?
13:28Who hasn't?
13:29The saint candidate is binding herself to the black dragon.
13:38I heard the black dragon heir.
13:44Can barely hold back the blight anymore.
13:48Then Miss Lillia is in danger?
13:51Danger.
13:53The phoenix saint already gave her a way out.
13:56What way out?
13:58The heart of the life tree.
14:02It can cleanse curses.
14:04Restore bloodlines.
14:05Even erase a curse mark from someone's face.
14:08Then why didn't the phoenix saint use it on ivy?
14:10Since when does anyone waste a miracle on a cursed girl?
14:15The heart of the life tree.
14:17Chaos had always had a way to remove my mark.
14:20He had always had it.
14:21And he had saved it for Lillia.
14:23Girl, something wrong with the lamb?
14:26It's delicious.
14:27I had simply understood.
14:29At last, fate had not refused to save me.
14:32They had.
14:33When I returned to the academy, night had fallen.
14:37The main hall was still lit.
14:39White roses covered the steps.
14:41At dawn, Lillia would wear the heart-feather gown
14:43Caius made for her and walk toward the black dragon.
14:46Everyone would call her brave.
14:48Holy.
14:49Worth saving.
14:51And I had four days left before adulthood.
14:54No guardian spirit.
14:55No way out.
14:56I circled around the hall.
14:59Heading for my dormitory.
15:01Just as I reached the east tower,
15:04I heard voices arguing inside.
15:06The black dragon's blight has broken through.
15:08The seal will hold only until dawn.
15:11Before sunrise, Lillia must enter the binding hall.
15:17I stopped outside the door.
15:19The east tower hall was full of people.
15:21The headmaster, mentors, noble representatives, and armored guards.
15:26Lillia hid behind Caius, her shoulders shaking as she cried.
15:30Caius shielded her with one blazing phoenix wing.
15:32Lillia, the black dragon chose you.
15:35At dawn, you must complete the bond.
15:37No, I don't want to.
15:40He'll kill me.
15:41If you refuse, the entire academy will be dragged into the dragon dream.
15:45The hall is sealed, but the seal won't hold much longer.
15:48Caius, save me!
15:50I'll take her.
15:53Caius?
15:54She needs one final cleansing read first.
15:58Go prepare the hall.
16:00At dawn, I'll bring her myself.
16:02We do not get a second chance.
16:04I know.
16:05Before sunrise.
16:07No later.
16:08I stood in the shadow outside the door, about to leave.
16:11A strand of gold and crimson flame wrapped silently around my wrist.
16:16Caius' voice sounded behind me.
16:18Ivy.
16:19I turned back.
16:21Lillia stood at the door of the inner chamber, pale and silent.
16:24Let go of me.
16:26Only you can save her.
16:31They're waiting for Lillia.
16:33You are her twin.
16:36Once your curse mark is gone, no one will know the difference.
16:39With the heart of the life tree?
16:42So it was true.
16:43You knew it could remove my mark.
16:45You knew I spent 18 years being hated for this face.
16:50And you kept it for Lillia.
16:51This isn't the time.
16:53Then when is the time?
16:54After I die for her in the dragon dream?
16:57Ivy, I'm scared.
16:59And I'm not?
17:03The heart of the life tree, the thing that could have saved me,
17:07had been within reach all along, in his hand.
17:09Ivy, I'm sorry.
17:11Don't.
17:12You're only sorry, because I'm the easier sacrifice.
17:15Caius' eyes shook, but he did not lower his hand.
17:19The green light fell across my face.
17:22My curse mark began to burn.
17:24I turned to run.
17:28Pain struck the back of my neck.
17:34The world went black.
17:36Before I lost consciousness,
17:37I heard Caius whisper near my ear.
17:41Sleep.
17:42At dawn, you'll walk into the hall as her.
17:48I wanted to tell him, Caius.
17:53I was the one who saved you that snowy night.
17:57But I could no longer make a sound.
18:02When I woke, I was sitting inside a silver carriage.
18:05Dawn had just broken.
18:06Morning fog still clung to the windows.
18:08I was dressed in Lillia's white and gold gown.
18:11My left cheek was smooth.
18:13Caius had finally removed it.
18:14Not to save me.
18:15To make me pass for Lillia.
18:17Outside the carriage, bells rang one after another.
18:21The academy square roared with voices.
18:23Everyone believed the girl being taken to the black dragon was the saint candidate.
18:28No one knew.
18:29Inside the carriage sat the cursed girl they had mocked for 18 years.
18:32The carriage door opened.
18:34Cold air rushed in.
18:37Caius stood outside.
18:39When he saw my face, his gaze faltered.
18:42But in the end, he only held out his hand.
18:46Get down.
18:50I did not take his hand.
18:52I lift my skirt and step down on my own.
18:55His hand froze in the air.
18:58The hall had already been sealed.
19:01Ordinary students were held back outside the square.
19:04White roses covered the stone steps.
19:08Mentors and noble representatives lined both sides.
19:12When they saw me, they bowed.
19:14Miss Livia, may the goddess watch over you.
19:18The academy will remember your courage.
19:21So this was what respect felt like.
19:26Being mistaken for someone else.
19:32Don't speak.
19:35Afraid they'll hear I'm not her?
19:37Ivy, not now.
19:38Those words again.
19:40The doors of the hall opened slowly.
19:43There was no music.
19:45No blessing.
19:47Only black mist churning from the center of the binding circle.
19:51Inside the mist, a man was bound to the altar with silver chains.
19:58His head hung low, black hair covering half his face.
20:03Runes burned along the chains.
20:07Every one of them strained against the darkness.
20:10He was Adrian, the black dragon heir.
20:13Rumor called him cold.
20:16Dangerous.
20:17Untouchable.
20:19Once his blight broke loose, he would drag his bonded partner into the dragon dream and tear their soul apart.
20:31Maybe he had expected me to cry, to beg, to look back at him one last time.
20:38I did none of those things.
20:41By blood as witness, by soul as bond.
20:44Guardian spirit and bonded partner shall share fate and bear the curse together.
20:53His eyes were not the crimson I had heard about.
20:56They were gold.
20:59He looked at me.
21:01For a long time.
21:04Ivy?
21:05My heart jolted.
21:06He knew me?
21:07The next second, black light burst from the circle.
21:11The chains snapped.
21:13Mist swallowed the hall.
21:14A cry rose below the altar.
21:17I heard him.
21:18I did not turn back.
21:20Darkness wrapped around me.
21:23It felt as if I were falling from a great height.
21:27When I opened my eyes again, I was standing in an unfamiliar garden.
21:31There was no black mist here.
21:33No chains.
21:34No blood.
21:35Only sunlight, a clear stream, and blue bell flows blooming across the hillside.
21:44Was this the dragon dream?
21:47The nightmare that was supposed to tear souls apart?
21:51Beside the hem of my dress lay a small black dragon.
21:54He was only as long as my arm.
21:56His scales were translucent.
21:58His horns barely formed.
22:00He opened gold eyes and stared at me.
22:06I reached out and lightly touched one of his horns.
22:09His entire body stiffened.
22:11The tip of his tail slowly turned red.
22:13Are you blushing?
22:15He immediately smacked my hand away with his tail.
22:17But his tail only grew redder.
22:19At last, I laughed.
22:21At least he did not want to kill me.
22:22At least I was still alive.
22:24I carried the little dragon through the garden for a long time.
22:28There was no exit.
22:30No academy.
22:32No path back.
22:54Adrian!
22:56Adrian!
23:19Le sang purifié le blight.
23:22My blood?
23:23The dragon prophecy says only the Holy Blood Witch can do that.
23:32A snowy night from long ago crashed into my mind.
23:39The abandoned bell tower.
23:42The dying firebird.
23:45My bleeding wrist.
23:47So Caius had not merely remembered wrong.
23:51My blood had been able to save them from the beginning.
23:57No one had believed a cursed girl could be favored by the goddess.
24:01They did not offer me Lillia.
24:04They offered me you, my ivy.
24:07Your ivy?
24:11I have waited for you for many years.
24:15Have we met before?
24:28This is not the time for that.
24:31Why?
24:34Because the people outside are still waiting.
24:39How long have we been here?
24:43In the dragon dream, nearly half a day.
24:46Outside, less than 15 minutes.
24:48So they're still in the hall?
24:49They are waiting for Lillia to die.
24:56But the one who returns will be you.
24:59The people in the binding hall had not yet left.
25:01The black mist had cleared.
25:03Broken silver chains lay scattered across the floor.
25:06The headmaster, mentors, and noble representatives still stood where they were, pale-faced.
25:12Caius stood below the altar.
25:13When he saw Adrian and me appear together, his head snapped up.
25:18His gaze fell first on my face.
25:22Then on Adrian holding my hand.
25:29Ivy, you're alive.
25:32Disappointed?
25:36That isn't what I meant.
25:37She won't translate your excuses anymore.
25:40Prince Adrian, you're late.
25:42Gone.
25:43That's impossible.
25:45She did it.
25:50Ivy saved me.
25:52Ivy?
25:53Isn't that Miss Lillia?
25:56She isn't Lillia?
25:58The girl you sent in here was never Lillia.
26:06It was me.
26:08She's Ivy?
26:09But her curse mark...
26:11Was removed by the heart of the life.
26:13tree.
26:16By his hand.
26:19Phoenix Saint, explain yourself.
26:22Caius did not answer.
26:25Caius did not answer.
26:25He only looked at me.
26:27There was shock in his eyes.
26:30Panic.
26:32And fear that had a lot of fear that had come far too late.
26:35The morning bells were still ringing.
26:40They had been held behind the ceiling.
26:42They had been held behind the ceiling line, waiting for news from the hall, beside the fountain.
26:46A white memorial platform had already been built.
26:49White ribbons hung from the stone pillars.
26:51The silver plaque beneath the portrait had not yet been uncovered, but I could already see the words engraved on
27:00it.
27:00Lillia, who offered herself to the black dragon and saved Saint Aurelia Academy.
27:07I suddenly laughed.
27:09The academy had even prepared her sacrifice in advance.
27:16Only the life used to buy that glory was supposed to be mine.
27:24The black dragon prince is out!
27:27Miss Lillia is back too!
27:29She succeeded?
27:30She really purified the black dragon?
27:32Goddess Aurelia saved us!
27:34I did not explain.
27:35I walked step by step to the memorial platform.
27:38I reached out and tore down the white ribbon.
27:44Who are you memorializing?
27:46Miss Lillia.
27:52Miss Lillia.
27:53The one who entered the binding hall this morning was not Lillia.
28:01It was me.
28:02What did she say?
28:04I am Ivy Winter.
28:07The one who bonded with the black dragon was me.
28:10The one who purified the blight was also me.
28:14Miss Lillia.
28:15The cursed girl?
28:16Put the mark on her face.
28:19If Ivy really went into the hall, then where is the real Lillia?
28:22Ivy.
28:24Ivy.
28:27Oh my goodness.
28:46Eyvee.
28:49once Mr.
28:51I wait all the eyes...
28:52monody's there.
28:52My Kitty.
28:55Ivy, je peux expliquer.
28:57Explique ce que tu m'as voulu me mourir dans ta place.
29:06Je n'ai pas. J'étais juste trop peur.
29:10Je suis. Je n'ai pas demandé.
29:14Ivy, suffis-tu.
29:17Tu as peur qu'elle sera embarré encore ?
29:19Elle a été terrifié l'année dernière.
29:20Ah ha! Last night you seized me, stripped away my curse mark,
29:24dressed me in her gown and sent me into that hall to die with the Black Dragon.
29:27And now you're telling me she was terrified ?
29:29So Lilia never entered the hall ?
29:31Then what is this memorial platform ?
29:33She was hiding the whole time ?
29:36Lilia panicked.
29:39I never meant to take credit for anything !
29:41Then say it now.
29:43Say you were not the one who saved the Academy.
29:47Lilia could not say a single word.
29:49Of course she could not
29:51She could not give up being Saint Arela's perfect girl
29:55She could not give up the glory of Saint Hib
30:08Sister
30:10Did my death serve you well?
30:17Enough
30:17Ivy, she is not as cruel as you think
30:20When disappointment reaches its end
30:22It becomes very quiet
30:27Then answer for her
30:30Who did you knock unconscious last night?
30:34Who did you cleanse with the heart of the life tree?
30:39And who did you send into the binding hall?
30:41The square fell silent
30:44His silence was the answer
30:56The academy will investigate this matter
31:00No need
31:03I raised my hand
31:04Tore off the outer layer of the white and gold gown
31:07And threw it to the ground
31:09Beneath it was my original black academy dress
31:14The dress was hers
31:16The life was mine
31:26Headmaster
31:27The wolf spirit's blight is flaring
31:29The seals won't hold
31:37Lock it in the forbidden cage
31:39Don't let it near us
31:43Ivy
31:46She just returned from the dragon dream
31:49Your highness
31:50If she truly is the holy blood witch
31:52Now is the time to prove it
31:54The academy must confirm it
32:02I did not like being forced
32:04But I hated the thought of watching him be dragged into a cage
32:08And turned into another monster no one saved
32:13You do not have to bleed for them
32:17Not for them
32:24For him
32:26Adrian was silent for a moment
32:30Then he released me
32:33Only a little
32:35I glanced at him
32:36You're very bossy for someone I just bonded with
32:41I am your dragon
32:43He said it calmly
32:45The people around us went silent
32:47For some reason
32:49The tips of my ears grew warm
32:51I walked up to the wolf spirit
32:54He growled at me
32:55Blood dripping from his fangs
32:58Careful
32:59I picked up the silver knife
33:01And made a shallow cut across my palm
33:03A bead of blood welled up
33:06The wolf spirit suddenly went still
33:10As if he had caught a scent
33:13I let my blood drip to his lips
33:16One drop
33:17Then another
33:23She's killing him
33:25That isn't holy blood
33:26It's poison
33:27I knew it
33:28A cursed girl could never be a saint
33:32Ivy stop
33:37Anyone who comes closer kneels
33:55I... I'm alive?
33:57The square went so quiet only the wind remained
34:00The headmaster stared at him lips trembling
34:02The blight is gone
34:05Somewhere in the crowd
34:06Someone fell to their knees first
34:08The holy blood witch
34:10Then more heads bowed
34:13She really is the holy blood witch
34:18The prophecy is real
34:20Yesterday, they called me cursed
34:23Today, they called me holy
34:25How quickly names changed
34:28The wound was small
34:30But after my blood left my body
34:32Cold drilled all the way into my bones
34:44I can handle it
34:47I know
34:49I want to
34:50For a moment
34:51I had no answer
34:54Ivy
34:54From today onward
34:56The academy will restore
34:57Every honor owed to you
34:59All blight patients may come to you
35:01For purification
35:04All?
35:05This is the sacred duty
35:06The goddess has placed upon you
35:10When you sent me to die
35:12In another girl's place
35:12Did the goddess forget to mention that duty?
35:19I will save people
35:23But my blood is not academy property
35:27I decide who receives it
35:29You have no right to judge others
35:31She has every right to decide what happens to her own blood
35:43Miss Ivy, thank you
35:48Live well
35:49After the proof
35:51The square changed
35:55The students looked at me with awe
36:00Some wanted to come closer
36:03None dared
36:05Lilia stood at the edge of the crowd
36:08Her nails digging into her palm
36:11What she feared most was not hatred
36:16It was being replaced
36:20Before I had been her shadow
36:23Now
36:24She was becoming mine
36:27Ivy, I need to speak with you
36:33This is between us
36:35There is no us between you and her
36:39Black dragon
36:40This is a bond matter
36:42Between me and my partner
36:48I already filed the dissolution
36:50It takes effect in three days
36:53You truly mean to break our bond?
36:56Yes
36:57Over these past few days?
36:59A few days
37:01Caius, do you truly think I only started hurting yesterday?
37:07Was it you back then?
37:12The one who hid me in the abandoned bell tower that snowy night?
37:15The one who fed me her blood?
37:18Was it you?
37:28He had finally remembered to ask
37:31After he pushed me into the binding hall
37:34After he stripped away my curse mark
37:38After he discovered my blood could purify blight
37:43Only then did he remember to ask
37:45Does it matter?
37:48It matters
37:50How?
37:52If it was me
37:54What would you do?
37:57Apologize?
37:59Take back the heart feather you gave Lelivia
38:02And offer it to me instead?
38:08Ivy
38:11Do you have to do this to him?
38:16To him?
38:17Caius only got confused
38:19That night was chaos
38:21He was badly wounded
38:25Of course he couldn't remember clearly
38:29Then you remembered for him
38:30Didn't you?
38:33You came to the bell tower that day
38:36You saw me holding him
38:40You saw the blood on my wrist
38:45I walked toward her step by step
38:48And for years you said nothing
38:53I... I... I thought he knew
38:55No
38:59You knew he didn't
39:02So Lelia took credit for saving him?
39:04No wonder the phoenix saint always protected her
39:06That's disgusting
39:13I didn't take anything
39:15Caius misunderstood on his own
39:17Then why didn't you correct him when he cared for you?
39:19When he plucked his heart feather for you?
39:21When he sent me to the black dragon to save you?
39:30Is it true?
39:33Caius, I never meant for this to happen
39:35That was answer enough
39:37The fire in Caius' eyes died little by little
39:41For the first time, he seemed to truly see the girl he had protected for so many years
39:47I felt no satisfaction
39:52Only exhaustion
39:56Back to the black tower
39:59Black tower?
40:01My residence
40:03That doesn't sound very welcoming
40:07Cleaner than the east tower
40:13Ivy
40:14I did not turn back
40:17I didn't know
40:18His voice was horsey
40:20If I had known it was you
40:25If you had known, would you have spared me?
40:32My heart went cold
40:34See?
40:36You can't even promise that
40:39Caius, you didn't mistake me
40:41You dismissed me
40:51The black tower stood on the northern side of the academy
40:54Tall black stone walls were carved with dragon runes
40:57From a distance, it looked like a black blade driven into the sky
41:01But when I stepped inside
41:03It was not cold at all
41:04Silver blue fire burned in the hearth
41:06Thick wool blankets lay by the window
41:09Hot tea and warm bread waited on the table
41:11A glass bottle held fresh blue bellflowers
41:14Is this for me?
41:16Yes
41:16How did you know I like bellflowers?
41:21I guessed
41:22I looked at him
41:24His face did not change
41:25But the tips of his ears turned red
41:29Adrian
41:31Yes?
41:32Have you known me for a long time?
41:37Longer than Caius
41:46When you were a child at North Hill Abbey
41:50You once took in a little dragon with no horns
41:56A memory from years ago rushed back
41:59That winter, before I entered St. Rue Academy
42:02I had been sent to North Hill Am because of the curse mark on my face
42:08There, I met a little boy who could not speak
42:11He had no dragon horns
42:13No one wanted him either
42:16I shared stolen bread with him
42:19I even put my hands on my hips and told him to call me Miss Ivy
42:22Then one day
42:24He disappeared
42:26I thought he had died
42:29Little Mute?
42:30I was not mute
42:31My horns had not grown in yet
42:33Speaking hurt
42:34You were that little dragon?
42:35Yes
42:36Why didn't you tell me sooner?
42:37You had the phoenix
42:39So?
42:39You looked like you loved him
42:42I did not want to frighten you
42:44So there had been someone in this world who remembered me
42:47Not for my blood
42:48Not for a bond
42:50Just me
42:52Your Highness
42:52Miss Lilla requests to see Miss Ivy
42:56No
42:59Let her in
42:59You do not have to see her
43:01I know
43:02But I want to hear how she plans to cry her way out of this
43:07Ivy, please help me
43:09With what?
43:11Everyone outside is cursing me
43:13They say I lied
43:14That I stole your credit
43:15That I don't deserve to be the saint candidate
43:17Please tell them it isn't true
43:19Tell them you went in my place
43:21Willingly
43:22I looked at her and almost laughed
43:25Lilia
43:26Even when you beg
43:27You still sound like you expect to be obeyed
43:30I'm not ordering you
43:33Ivy, I have no one else
43:36You always had someone else when it mattered
43:42I know you hate me
43:43But I'm your sister
43:45Did you remember that when you let me die for you?
43:48Her sob stopped
43:49Adrian stood by the window watching her coldly
43:51Lilia trembled under his gaze
43:53Still she crawled closer to me
43:56Ivy, if you say one word they'll believe you
43:59You're the Holy Blood Witch now
44:00No one will question you
44:02So you want to use my name again to save yours?
44:04No
44:06Then what is it?
44:07She could not answer
44:08I looked down at her
44:10Once
44:10I had looked up at her countless times
44:13Watched her be surrounded
44:15Watched her be praised
44:18Watched her pass me in clean, beautiful dresses
44:21Back then, she would smile this gently too
44:24And do nothing
44:26Nothing when others tore up my books
44:28Nothing when they poured cold water over my bed
44:31Nothing when Caius looked at her again and again
44:34She never lifted a hand herself
44:36But every time, she benefited
44:38Lilia, I won't help you
44:42Are you really going to let them destroy me?
44:46I'm not destroying you
44:48Your own choices finally caught up with you
44:50But you have everything now
44:52The Black Dragon, Holy Blood, everyone's respect
44:55All I have left is my name
44:56I looked at her
44:58So you admit the glory was stolen
45:01I stood
45:02Escort her out
45:05Ivy!
45:06As she was dragged to the door, she turned back
45:09Her eyes were no longer soft
45:11Only hatred remained
45:13You'll regret this
45:14They respect you only because your blood is useful
45:17Once they see I can purify Blight 2, you'll be nothing
45:20The door closed
45:22The room went quiet again
45:23I looked at the door and frowned
45:25What did she just say?
45:26She can purify Blight 2
45:28She can't
45:30Adrian came to my side
45:32Then she'll prove that soon enough
45:34Three days later, news spread through the academy
45:37Lilia had healed Blight patients too
45:39The first was a lower fox spirit
45:41The second, a corrupted raven spirit
45:44The third, a noble student's bonded hound
45:47She took no bond support
45:48She asked nothing about whether they had ever mocked me
45:52Anyone who came to her left praising her mercy
45:55The students changed their minds again
45:57Maybe Miss Lylia really was just frightened
46:00If she can purify Blight 2, the goddess hasn't abandoned her
46:03Miss Ivy is too cold
46:05She said she only saves people she thinks are worthy
46:07A true saint doesn't choose who deserves saving
46:10Those words reached the Black Tower while I was eating baked apples
46:17She moves fast
46:19You're not worried?
46:20About what?
46:21If she could truly purify Blight
46:23She wouldn't have cried and begged me to die in her place
46:25I had someone look into it
46:27And?
46:27The three guardian spirits she treated disappeared the next day
46:30That same day, three beast corpses appeared in the Northwood
46:33Same species?
46:34Fox
46:35Raven
46:36Hound
46:38She wasn't purifying them
46:40She used phoenix fire to burn away the red glow of the Blight
46:43And their minds with it
46:44Yes
46:44Then she threw them into the Northwood
46:46And pretended they had never existed
46:48Lylia was crueler than I had thought
46:50It was not that she could not save people
46:52It was that she did not care whether they survived
46:55She only wanted the reputation of being able to purify
46:58That evening the headmaster sent for me
47:01The academy's judgment hall was packed
47:03Lylia stood in the center
47:05She wore a white dress
47:06Pale and fragile as ever
47:08Kaya stood beside her
47:10When Adrian and I entered
47:11Everyone moved aside
47:12Ivy
47:13Prince Adrian
47:15Three beast corpses were found in the Northwood
47:17They have been identified as the guardian spirits
47:19Miss Lylia claimed to have purified
47:23What?
47:25But she healed them
47:26So those spirits were dead?
47:29It wasn't me
47:31I healed them
47:32I don't know why they died
47:34Phoenix Saint
47:34You provided the phoenix fire Miss Lylia used
47:38Did you know?
47:42I thought she only wanted to help
47:44You always do
47:45Caius stiffened
47:46Lylia dropped to her knees
47:48Caius, believe me
47:49I didn't hurt them
47:51Then why did you ask me to send them to the Northwood after every treatment?
47:54The judgment hall went silent
47:56You promised you wouldn't tell
48:00The headmaster raised a hand
48:01Guards stepped forward
48:03Lylia Winter
48:04You are accused of using forbidden magic to harm guardian spirits
48:08You are hereby detained
48:10No!
48:11I didn't!
48:12I'm the saint candidate!
48:13You can't do this to me!
48:14Ivy, this was you
48:16You had the black dragon investigate me
48:18Yes
48:19Because you killed them
48:21They were only lower spirits!
48:25The entire judgment hall went silent
48:28Everyone had heard her
48:30Lylia realized what she had said
48:33Too late
48:34Her mask shattered completely
48:37Lower spirits want to live too
48:41Just like that dying firebird did
48:44This time
48:45This time
48:45No one pleaded for her
48:54Ivy
48:58The three days are over
49:01And?
49:05My last heart feather
49:07Take it
49:10This time
49:11It isn't compensation
49:13I want you to have it
49:15Once
49:16I had waited outside the east tower until dawn
49:19Hoping for a single feather that belonged to me
49:21Now
49:22He held his last heart feather before me
49:25But it was no longer a gift
49:28Only guilt
49:29Ivy, please
49:31Don't break the bond
49:37The final moment had come
49:40Caius
49:43Once
49:43I wanted a feather
49:45Now
49:46I want freedom
49:47I looked at the burning heart feather in his palm
49:50And what you're offering me is only your guilt
49:52I don't want it
49:54After I said it
49:56The grey dissolution mark flared
49:57The next second the phoenix bond broke
50:00It felt as if something had been pulled out of my flesh
50:04It hurt
50:06But it also felt light
50:08At last I no longer had to wait for Caius to turn around
50:16Ivy
50:21Don't call me that anymore
50:25We are not that close
50:29Let's go
50:30This time Caius did not stop me
50:32The window at the end of the corridor was open
50:35Cold wind blew in
50:37He stood where he was
50:38Red hair stirred by the wind
50:40Like a dying fire
50:43I did not look back
50:45After Lilia was imprisoned
50:47Her name was removed from list of saint candidates
50:50The white tower where she had lived was sealed
50:52Her portraits were taken down
50:54The white rose garden was closed to her
50:57I did not visit her
51:01Miss Ivy, Lilia likes us to see you one last time
51:06You don't have to go
51:09I'll go
51:11Some people cannot bear to leave without one last accusation
51:17Then I'm going with you
51:20The underground prison was damp and cold
51:23Lilia was locked in the innermost cell
51:26She wore prison grey
51:28Her hair disheveled
51:29There was no trace of her polished smile left
51:33The moment she saw me
51:34She lunged at the bars
51:36Ivy!
51:37The guard held her back
51:39She stared at me with hatred in her eyes
51:42Are you satisfied?
51:44You finally took everything from me
51:46Everything from you?
51:50Was the saint's title yours?
51:52Was Caius' gratitude yours?
51:54Was the glory yours?
51:56If you hadn't suddenly become the holy blood witch
51:59I wouldn't be here
52:00I didn't make you use forbidden magic to kill guardian spirits
52:03They were only lower spirits
52:07Lilia, you never thought you were wrong
52:11I only wanted a better life
52:14So did I
52:16But I didn't climb over other people's bodies to get it
52:22Do you think Caius is innocent?
52:27The marsh lizard spirit
52:31Caius had him taken
52:32He refused to let you bond with anyone else
52:39You think he only mistook the wrong girl?
52:45He looked down on you
52:47But he still wouldn't let you go
52:49I had guessed as much
52:52But hearing it from her still disgusted me
52:58Thank you for telling me
53:02You're not angry?
53:04I am
53:05But not over him
53:11Ivy!
53:12Why do you get a better fate than me?
53:20Maybe because this time
53:21I stopped giving my life
53:23To other people
53:35Did it hurt?
53:37What?
53:38Hearing the truth
53:41Not as much as I expected
53:43Maybe because someone is holding my hand now
53:51The black dragon prince was strange
53:53He could frighten an entire judgment hall with a look
53:58But one kind word left him helpless
54:00On judgment day
54:02Snow fell
54:03Lilia was taken to the ashen execution platform
54:06I did not go to watch
54:08I only sent someone to collect her remains afterwards
54:12Caius disappeared for several days after that
54:15When he returned
54:16Blight had already wrapped itself around him
54:18Phoenix fire was meant to purify corruption
54:22His had turned murky
54:25When he came to the black tower
54:27The guards nearly drew their swords
54:31You should not have come
54:35I'm not here to ask for blood
54:37His voice was very soft
54:39I stood behind Adrian and looked at Caius
54:42Caius took out the last heart feather from inside his robe
54:45Most of its light had already faded
54:48I only wanted to give it to you before I lose myself completely
54:51I already refused it
54:55I know
54:55But I still wanted to come
54:58Not so you would forgive me
55:00Only so you would know I finally understand what I lost
55:06Understanding isn't redemption Caius
55:11And one more thing
55:17I know about the marsh lizard spirit
55:20You stopped me from bonding with him
55:22Not because he was unworthy of me
55:24But because you wouldn't let me leave
55:28I only
55:29You only got used to me waiting for you
55:35You never changed
55:38Before you protected Limnia and sent me to die
55:40Later
55:41After you learned I was the one who saved you
55:43You tried to keep me beside you
55:45But not once did you ask what I wanted
55:54Ivy, if I could do it again
55:55There is no again
55:58I saved you once
56:00You hurt me once
56:02We are even
56:19Should I drive it away?
56:23No
56:26It will learn soon enough
56:28There is no place for it here
56:29One month later
56:30St. Aurelia Academy held a new bond coronation for Adrian and me
56:34The headmaster wanted the ceremony in the main hall
56:36I refused
56:38Too many bad memories live there
56:40In the end
56:41We chose the bellflower garden behind the black tower
56:44Blue flowers covered the hillside
56:46Black dragon banners unfurled in the wind
56:50I wore a simple black gown
56:52No white roses
56:55No phoenix heart feather
57:01What is this?
57:03A reverse scale
57:07Isn't a dragon's reverse scale something you don't give lightly?
57:10Yes
57:11Then why give it to me?
57:15Because I'm afraid you'll decide you don't want me
57:18Your highness, I think you misunderstand your own appeal
57:21You once loved a phoenix
57:22I was wrong about him
57:24And now?
57:29Now I know better
57:36Adrian
57:37Didn't you used to call me Miss Ivy?
57:42We were children
57:43I want to hear it
57:52Miss Ivy
57:52I smiled
57:54I smiled, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his dragon horn
57:56The next second
57:57He lifted me into his arms
58:00Adrian!
58:01Dragon horns are not for casual touching
58:03He lowered his head and looked at me
58:05A dangerous smile flickered in his gold eyes
58:08And what happens if they are?
58:11The dragon takes you back to his nest
58:14When the coronation began
58:15The snow stopped
58:17Sunlight fell over the bellflower garden
58:19The headmaster recited the new bond oath
58:22By blood as witness
58:23By soul as bond
58:25Black drag yegan Adrian shall share fate with holy blood witch Ivy
58:32This time, no one pushed me onto an altar
58:35No one asked me to die in another girl's place
58:38I walked to his side by choice
58:40On a distant snow pine branch
58:42The dark red bird was still watching
58:46A little noisy
58:48Let it leave
58:49My vow does not need a phoenix as witness
58:54As you wish
58:59The dark red bird fled in panic
59:01And vanished beyond the snow line
59:03Fate had not abandoned me after all
59:07It had only taken the long way around
59:10To return the dragon who had always been mine
