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