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'll see you.
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 guildmaster'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,
12:24then 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.
13:02I 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?
13:28The saint candidate is binding herself to the black dragon.
13:32If she survives him.
13:38I heard the black dragon air.
13:43Can barely hold back the blight anymore.
13:48Then Miss Lillia is in danger.
13:51Danger.
13:52The 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 Caius made for her and walk toward the black dragon.
14:46Everyone would call her brave, holy, worth saving.
14:51And I had four days left before adulthood.
14:54No guardian spirit.
14:55No way out.
14:56I circled around the hall, heading for my dormitory.
15:01Just as I reached the east tower, I 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.
16:05I know.
16:05Before sunrise.
16:07No later.
16:08I stood in the shadow outside the door, about to leave.
16:12A strand of gold and crimson flame wrapped silently around my wrist.
16:16Caius' voice sounded behind me.
16:18Ivy.
16:19I turned back.
16:20Lillia 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?
16:55After 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, had been within reach
17:08all along in his hand.
17:10Ivy, 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.
17:35Before I lost consciousness, I heard Caius whisper near my ear.
17:40Sleep.
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.
19:07Mentors and noble representatives lined both sides.
19:11When they saw me, they bowed.
19:15Miss Lillia, 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.
20:34To beg.
20:36To 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?
21:14I 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.
21:32No 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.
21:59He opened gold eyes and stared at me.
22:02Adrian?
22:03They said you would tear me apart.
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, but 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!
22:55C'est parti !
23:31A 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
24:03They offered me you, my ivy
24:07Your ivy?
24:11I have waited for you for many years
24:15Have we met before?
24:29This is not the time for that
24:30Why?
24:34Because the people outside are still waiting
24:39How long have we been here?
24:43In the dragon dream, nearly half a day
24:45Outside less than 15 minutes
24:47So they're still in the hall?
24:49They are waiting for Lillia to die
24:56But the one who returns will be you
24:58The people in the binding hall had not yet left
25:01The black mist had cleared
25:02Broken silver chains lay scattered across the floor
25:05The headmaster, mentors, and noble representatives still stood where they were, pale-faced
25:11Caius stood below the altar
25:13When he saw Adrian and me appear together
25:16His head snapped up
25:18His gaze fell first on my face
25:22Then on Adrian holding my hand
25:29Ivy, you're alive
25:31Disappointed?
25:36That isn't what I meant
25:37She won't translate your excuses anymore
25:40Prince Adrian, you're blade
25:42Gone
25:43That's impossible
25:44She 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
26:07She's Ivy?
26:09But her curse mark
26:10Was removed
26:11By the heart of the life tree
26:16By his hand
26:20Phoenix Saint, explain yourself
26:22Caius did not answer
26:25He only looked at me
26:27There was shock in his eyes
26:30Panic
26:32And fear that had come far too late
26:35When we walked out of the hall
26:37The morning bells were still ringing
26:39They had been held behind the ceiling line
26:42Waiting for news from the hall
26:44Beside the fountain
26:45A white memorial platform had already been built
26:49White ribbons hung from the stone pillars
26:51At the center stood Lillia's portrait
26:53The silver plaque beneath the portrait
26:56Had not yet been uncovered
26:57But I could already see the words engraved on it
27:00Lillia, who offered herself to the black dragon
27:04And saved St. 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
27:18Was 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 Abalia 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
27:52The one who entered the binding hall this morning was not Lillia
28:00It was me
28:02What did she say?
28:04I am Ivy Winter
28:06The one who bonded with the black dragon was me
28:09The one who purified the blight was also me
28:14Ivy? The cursed girl?
28:16Put the mark on her face
28:19If Ivy really went into the hall
28:21Then where is the real Lillia?
28:45Ivy, I can explain
28:56Ivy, I can explain
29:06Je n'ai pas ! Je suis juste trop peur !
29:10Je suis, je n'ai pas demandé.
29:14Ivy, suffis-tu !
29:17Vous êtes en train de se débrouiller ?
29:19Elle était en train de se débrouiller.
29:21Elle était en train de se débrouiller.
29:22Elle a été en train de se débrouiller,
29:23en train de se débrouiller,
29:27et maintenant tu me dis que elle était en train de se débrouiller ?
29:29Donc, Lillia n'a jamais entré dans la Halle ?
29:31Alors, ce n'est pas cette plateforme ?
29:33Elle était en train de se débrouiller ?
29:36Lillia paniquait.
29:39Je n'ai jamais pensé à prendre des crédits pour rien !
29:41Alors, dis-moi maintenant !
29:43Dis-moi que vous n'avez pas la chose qui a sauve l'Académie.
29:47Lillia ne peut pas dire une seule parole.
29:50Bien sûr, elle ne peut pas.
29:51Elle ne peut pas être Saint-Aré-la's perfecte fille.
29:55Elle ne peut pas être la belle de Saint-Hib.
30:08Lille aussi.

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 for purification
35:04all?
35:05this is the sacred duty the goddess has placed upon you
35:10when you sent me to die in another girl's place did 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
35:44thank 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?
37:00a 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 lalivia
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
38:46i walked toward her step by step
38:48and for years
38:50you said nothing
38:53i...
38:53i...
38:54i thought he knew
38:55no
38:59you knew he didn't
39:01so lillia took credit for saving him?
39:04no wonder the phoenix saint always protected her
39:06that's disgusting
39:12i didn't take anything
39:14caiat misunderstood on his own
39:17then why didn't you correct him
39:18when 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's eyes died little by little
39:41for the first time
39:43he 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
40:13i 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
40:58it 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
41:23his 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
42:00before i entered saint rua academy
42:02i had been sent to north hill am
42:05because of the curse mark on my face
42:08there
42:08i met a little boy who could not speak
42:11he had no dragon horns
42:14no one wanted him either
42:16i shared stolen bread with him
42:19i even put my hands on my hips
42:21and told him to call me miss ivy
42:22then one day
42:24he disappeared
42:26i thought he had died
42:28little 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
42:46who remembered me
42:47not for my blood
42:48not for a bond
42:49just me
42:51your 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
43:25lillia
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
43:41i know you hate me
43:43but i'm your sister
43:45did you remember that when you let me die for you?
43:47her sob stopped
43:49adrian stood by the window watching her coldly
43:51lillia 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
44:17watched her pass me in clean beautiful dresses
44:20back then
44:22she 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
44:37she benefited
44:38lillia i won't help you
44:42are you really going to let them destroy me?
44:45i'm not destroying you
44:47your own choices finally caught up with you
44:50but you have everything now
44:52the black dragon
44:53holy blood
44:54everyone'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
45:08she 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 too
45:19you'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 too
45:28she can't
45:30adrian came to my side
45:32then she'll prove that soon enough
45:34three days later
45:35news spread through the academy
45:37lillia 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 lillia really was just frightened
46:00if she can purify blight too
46:01the 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
46:12while 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
46:26and?
46:27the three guardian spirits she treated
46:29disappeared the next day
46:30that same day
46:31three 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
47:17lillia was crueler than i had thought
47:18identified as the guardian spirits miss lillia claimed to have purified
47:23what?
47:24but 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 lilla used
47:37did you know?
47:42i thought she only wanted to help
47:44you always do
47:45kaius stiffened
47:46lillia dropped to her knees
47:48kaius, 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
47:57you promised you wouldn't tell
48:00the headmaster raised a hand
48:01guards stepped forward
48:03lillia winter
48:04you are accused of using forbidden magic to harm guardian spirits
48:08you are hereby detained
48:10no i 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
48:26the entire judgment hall went silent
48:28everyone had heard her
48:30lillia 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
48:45no 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
49:12i 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
49:36the 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
49:55after i said it
49:56the gray 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
51:02miss 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 gray
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
51:43you finally took everything from me
51:46everything from you
51:50was the saint's title yours
51:52was caius's 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
52:04they were only lower spirits
52:05they were only lower spirits
52:07lilia you never thought you were wrong
52:12i 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 but 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
54:52i already refused it
54:55i know
54:56but 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
55:37before 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
56:01we are even
56:19should i drive it away
56:23no
56:26it will learn soon enough
56:28there's no place for it here
56:29one month later
56:30saint aurelia academy
56:31held a new bond coronation
56:33for adrian and me
56:34the headmaster wanted the ceremony
56:36in the main hall
56:36i refused
56:38too many bad memories live there
56:40in the end
56:41we chose the bellflower garden
56:43behind the black tower
56:44blue flowers covered the hillside
56:46black dragon banners unfurled in the wind
56:50i wore a simple black gown
56:53no 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
57:51miss ivy
57:53i smiled
57:54stood on tiptoe
57:55and 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
58:26shall share fate
58:27with holy blood witch ivy
58:32this time
58:32no one pushed me onto an altar
58:34no one asked me to die
58:36in 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
59:14and bright red exploded in its pink
59:14and there was no reason by the **
