Hey guys! Found another good one. English subs are solid on this one.
Sold to the Wolf King is a werewolf revenge drama with a twist that actually got me. Elara is chained up and dragged through the snow by her husband, who's basically trading her to the Wolf King so his mistress can live. She's meant to die out there. But seven years ago, she saved a wolf boy and gave him a name. That boy is Kael now — the Wolf King. When he finds her injured and half-dead, the whole army sees him fall to his knees.
**✨ Here's the short version:**
"Saved a boy, he became a king, he never forgot her." That's the whole vibe. Not subtle, but it works. English subs are clean btw.
💎Genre:Fantasy, Romance, Revenge, Werewolf

00:00:10To be continued...
00:00:31My husband was kissing, his pregnant lover as he chained me, to the sacrificial bridal carriage.
00:00:37The cold iron chains bound, my wrists tightly, and my wedding dress was soaked with snow and blood.
00:00:43In the royal capital square, every noble watched as I was pushed towards the north.
00:00:49Cedric turned to look at me.
00:00:50Ellaria, the Frostwolf King demands a bride for a truce.
00:00:54Leah is carrying my child. She cannot go to her death.
00:01:04I looked up at him.
00:01:06So you're giving me to the Wolf King rumored to tear humans apart?
00:01:10Leah leaned into his arms, shedding fake tears.
00:01:13Dear sister, don't blame his highness. It's all for the kingdom.
00:01:17I laughed.
00:01:18What are you laughing at?
00:01:20Looking at the northern wind and snow, I whispered...
00:01:26I'm laughing because you delivered me back to him with your own hands.
00:01:30No one knew that Kale, the Wolf King feared across the continent, had been only a wolf cub I rescued
00:01:36from the underground fighting pit seven years ago.
00:01:43He wasn't called Kale back then.
00:01:45I named him Nayen.
00:01:47He once knelt at my feet and swore...
00:01:49Mistress, anyone who hurts you even a little will pay with an entire kingdom.
00:01:57Before the wedding carriage started moving, Cedric bent down to adjust my veil.
00:02:01To outsiders, he seemed like a devoted husband.
00:02:04Only I heard him whisper in my ear...
00:02:06Don't blame me. You're too smart, Ellaria.
00:02:10I looked at him.
00:02:12Afraid I'll stand in your way.
00:02:15House Vang's gold mines, ports, and knightly order should all belong to the royal family.
00:02:20Once you die in the north, everything will naturally be mine.
00:02:24So this is the truth behind the sacrifice.
00:02:26It isn't a truce.
00:02:27It was greed, murder, and making room for his lover and his ambition.
00:02:31Leah came over, supporting her belly, and deliberately brushed her fingertips across my face.
00:02:36Don't worry, dear sister. I'll take care of his highness for you.
00:02:40My gaze swept over her belly.
00:02:42Are you sure the thing in your belly can really protect you?
00:02:46Her face stiffened.
00:02:50Cedric grabbed my chin hard.
00:02:51Still trying to turn us against each other?
00:02:55When you get to the north, you'll be begging the Wolf King for a quick death.
00:02:58I did not struggle, because I suddenly remembered seven years ago.
00:03:02The only son of the Duke of Silverport,
00:03:04emboldened by his family's power,
00:03:07lingered at the gaze on me a banquet, and even said with smile,
00:03:10A beauty like Lady Vane should be locked up in my manor.
00:03:14That night, Nayan disappeared.
00:03:16The next morning, he knelt outside my door, covered in blood,
00:03:21holding the sapphire ring that belonged to the Duke of Silverport.
00:03:24Next to the ring, there was a pair of blood-stained eyeballs.
00:03:28He bowed his head,
00:03:29his voice respectful to the point of reverence.
00:03:31Mistress, he will never see you again.
00:03:35So at that moment, when Cedric was pinching my chin, I actually laughed.
00:03:38When Kale sees these wounds, I'm probably not the first person to ask for a quick death.
00:03:43Three days later, the wedding carriage stopped at the border of Frostwolf Realm.
00:03:48Black-armored werewolf riders surrounded the convoy.
00:03:51General Graves, riding a dire wolf, coldly ordered.
00:03:54The offering gets out.
00:03:56Of course.
00:03:59My maid Mila blocked the carriage door.
00:04:01The crown princess is ill!
00:04:03She cannot walk through the snow!
00:04:04Cedric kicked her away.
00:04:10He grabbed my chains and dragged me out of the carriage.
00:04:14My knees slammed into ice,
00:04:17and blood immediately seeped out.
00:04:19The surrounding werewolves laughed.
00:04:22Graves used his riding cup to lift my veil.
00:04:26So this is Alaria's famed beauty.
00:04:28The human royal family is truly willing to part with her.
00:04:31As long as the Wolf King is satisfied, do with her as you please.
00:04:35I looked up at him.
00:04:37I will repeat every word of that to Kale.
00:04:40He laughed as if he had heard a joke.
00:04:44You think the Wolf King will listen to you?
00:04:47I pushed myself up from the snow.
00:04:50He'll listen on his knees.
00:04:52As soon as I finished speaking, the entire clearing fell silent for a moment,
00:04:57then erupted into even more jarring laughter.
00:04:59Only an old werewolf in the distance went plail and stared hard at my face.
00:05:05The snow fell heavier and heavier.
00:05:07I walked barefoot through the icy mud,
00:05:10each step feeling like a knife cutting into the soles of my feet.
00:05:13Mira, dragging her injured leg, helped me up.
00:05:16Her lips were purple from the cold.
00:05:19In the warmer carriage behind, Leah Ternley said in a soft voice,
00:05:22Your Highnessness, I'm cold.
00:05:26Cedric Elliotly lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the white fox cloak on my shoulder.
00:05:33Bring it here.
00:05:35No! She'll freeze to death!
00:05:37The guard drew his sword to strike her, but I raised a hand to stop him,
00:05:41took off the cloak, and tossed it over.
00:05:43Give it to her.
00:05:46Leah took the cloak, but wrinkled her nose in disgust.
00:05:51It's stained with blood, how disgusting!
00:05:53Cedric smiled and casually tossed the cloak out of the carriage.
00:05:57The wolf rider's giant claws stomped on it,
00:06:00and the pure white fox fur instantly turned into mud.
00:06:04The crown princess of Averia can't even keep a cloak.
00:06:07When the wolf king is done with her, giving her to us wouldn't be bad.
00:06:12Cedric did not stop them, but instead said,
00:06:15It is her honor to serve the frost wolf warriors.
00:06:18I stopped and looked back at him.
00:06:22My stare made him uneasy, and he roared,
00:06:25Move!
00:06:26I smiled and continued forward.
00:06:28Cedric, you'd better remember every word you said today.
00:06:32Cale will love hearing that.
00:06:37In the evening, Leah leaned out of the carriage window.
00:06:40Holding a silver hand warmer in her hands, she smiled sweetly.
00:06:44Sister, your hands are all red from the cold, aren't they?
00:06:47Would you like to warm them up?
00:06:49The next second, the hand warm slipped from her hand and slammed hard onto the back of my hand.
00:06:54Live coals spilled out, instantly blistering my skin.
00:06:58Mira screamed and lunged at me, pressing snow against my wound.
00:07:03You did this on purpose!
00:07:05Leah immediately snuggled into Cedric's arms.
00:07:08Your Highness, I didn't mean to.
00:07:09I've been so clumsy since I got pregnant.
00:07:12Cedric didn't even glance at my injury, only coldly warning.
00:07:14Elyria, don't look at Leah like that.
00:07:17If you upset her and harm the child, I'll kill you.
00:07:20I looked down at the bloodbusters on the back of my hand.
00:07:23Seven years ago, I pricked my finger on a rose thorn in the vain Manishin greenhouse,
00:07:28and barely bled a single drop.
00:07:31When Nayan saw it, his whole body froze.
00:07:36That night, the gardener responsible for pruning the roses was so frightened that he knelt outside the door,
00:07:41because all the thorny roses in the estate had been uprooted overnight.
00:07:45Nayan stood in the rain, his hands covered in blood,
00:07:49holding a bundle of broken rose branches in his arms.
00:07:52Mistress, anything that hurts you should not be allowed to remain.
00:07:58Now, Leah has injured my hand with a scalding hand warmer,
00:08:02and Cedric is threatening to kill me.
00:08:05I suddenly wondered whether he would cut off Leah's hand first,
00:08:09or tear Cedric's throat apart first.
00:08:13When we arrived at the Frostwolf camp,
00:08:16I was so cold that I could barely stand.
00:08:18Black wolf banners lined the mountain ridges,
00:08:21the wind thick with the smell of rust and blood.
00:08:23Werewolf sauriers surrounded us,
00:08:25like they were looking at cargo delivered to a slaughter block.
00:08:28Cedric adjusted his cloak, forcing himself to remain calm.
00:08:32Inform the Wolf King that Crown Prince Cedric requests an audience!
00:08:35Nobody paid him any attention.
00:08:38Just then, a one-eyed old general came out of the camp gate.
00:08:42He had been looking impatient,
00:08:43but he froze when he saw my face.
00:08:47You.
00:08:48His voice was trembling uncontrollably.
00:08:51I recognize him.
00:08:53Hall, seven years ago, when Cael wasn't yet the Wolf King,
00:08:56he and Cael were besieged by rebels in Snow Valley.
00:08:59I delivered food and medicine,
00:09:01pulling them back from the brink of death.
00:09:03Cedric impatiently blocked his view.
00:09:05What are you looking at?
00:09:07This is the bride I am offering to your Wolf King.
00:09:10Hall's face turned deathly pale instantly.
00:09:12He looked at my chains,
00:09:14my wounds,
00:09:15my bare feet,
00:09:16and his eyes were filled with nothing but fear.
00:09:19He's not afraid of me.
00:09:21He was afraid of how many people in the Frostwolf camp would die after Cael returned.
00:09:27The Wolf King is not in the camp.
00:09:30This remark visibly relieved Cedric and brought a smile to the other person's face.
00:09:35Marlow, the Frostwolf steward, emerged from the main tent in a lavish fur robe,
00:09:41his eyes greasy and cold.
00:09:43He circled me once.
00:09:45The King's bride.
00:09:47She is indeed beautiful.
00:09:49If the steward is willing to speak on Illyria's behalf to the Wolf King,
00:09:54she can be handed over to you to examine first.
00:09:56You're still her husband!
00:09:59She's just a sacrifice now.
00:10:01Marlow smiled and reached out to touch my face.
00:10:04I looked up.
00:10:04You'd better not touch me.
00:10:05He paused for a moment,
00:10:07then burst into laughter.
00:10:08Human woman,
00:10:09do you know whose territory this is?
00:10:10I know.
00:10:11That's why I'm warning you.
00:10:12Marlin's face darkened.
00:10:13Hold her down.
00:10:15Several werewolves grabbed my shoulders,
00:10:17and Mira rushed over like a madwoman,
00:10:19only to be slapped to the ground in the snow.
00:10:22I heard her coughing up blood.
00:10:23At that moment, my smile vanished completely.
00:10:26Marlow ordered his men to drag Myra to the state.
00:10:28Since this maid likes protecting her mistress.
00:10:32The barbed wolf whip was lined with hooks,
00:10:34and it cut through the air with a sharp whistle.
00:10:37Don't make a scene.
00:10:38It'll affect the peace talks.
00:10:40Cedric stood to the side,
00:10:41his brow frellowed.
00:10:43Leah nestled in his arms and whispered,
00:10:45Your Highness,
00:10:47she is just a maid.
00:10:49Miss, don't worry about me!
00:10:50Mira was pressed down in the still crying out.
00:10:52Before the first lash fell,
00:10:54I broke free from the werewolf behind me
00:10:56and pounced on Mira.
00:10:57The barbs tore open my back.
00:10:59The pain exploded like fire,
00:11:00but I grint my teeth and didn't cry out.
00:11:02Miss!
00:11:04Marlin's eyes lit up with excitement.
00:11:06The king will prefer a bleeding bride.
00:11:08He reached out again to tear at my wedding dress.
00:11:11I stared at that hand and said softly,
00:11:13That hand is already forfeit.
00:11:15In the distance,
00:11:17the sound of horns suddenly tore through the wind and snow.
00:11:20All the werewolves turned around at the same time.
00:11:23The black wolf banner had returned to camp.
00:11:27The earth shook as dire wolf riders charged into the camp through the wind and snow.
00:11:32The man at the front was clad in black armor,
00:11:34his silver hair stained red with blood,
00:11:36and he dragged the broken flag of the enemy leader in his hand.
00:11:40All the werewolves knelt.
00:11:43Cedric's legs buckled,
00:11:44and he almost knelt down.
00:11:46Marlo hurriedly released me and prostrated himself in the snow.
00:11:49My king, the Aurarian bride has been delivered.
00:11:50I was just inspecting her for you.
00:11:52Kale did not listen to the rest.
00:11:54He dismounted from the giant vault and coldly swept his gaze across the camp.
00:11:58That face was sharper, colder,
00:11:59and more like the monster from the rumors than it had been seven years ago.
00:12:02I helped Mira stand up,
00:12:04blood dripping from my back onto the snow.
00:12:06When Cedric saw that I still dared to raise my head,
00:12:08he hissed angrily.
00:12:11Kneel down!
00:12:12Do you want to get us killed?
00:12:13I ignored him.
00:12:15I looked at Kale's back and softly said,
00:12:17Nan.
00:12:18The moment those two words were uttered,
00:12:19the entire Frostwolf camp seemed to freeze.
00:12:22Cedric stared at me in horror.
00:12:24Are you insane?
00:12:25How dare you call the Wolf King by his old name?
00:12:43My husband was kissing his pregnant lover as he chained me to the sacrificial bridal carriage.
00:12:50The cold iron chains bound my wrists tightly,
00:12:53and my wedding dress was soaked with snow and blood.
00:12:56In the royal capital square,
00:12:58every noble watched as I was pushed towards the north.
00:13:01Cedric turned to look at me.
00:13:03Ellaria,
00:13:04the Frostwolf King demands a bride for a truce.
00:13:06Lia is carrying my child.
00:13:08She cannot go to her death.
00:13:17I looked up at him.
00:13:19So you're giving me to the Wolf King rumored to tear humans apart?
00:13:22Lia leaned into his arms,
00:13:24shedding fake tears.
00:13:25Dear sister,
00:13:26don't blame his highness.
00:13:28It's all for the kingdom.
00:13:29I laughed.
00:13:30What are you laughing at?
00:13:33Looking at the northern wind and snow,
00:13:35I whispered,
00:13:38I'm laughing because you delivered me back to him with your own hands.
00:13:42No one knew that Cael,
00:13:44the Wolf King feared across the continent,
00:13:47had been only a wolf cub I rescued from the underground fighting pit seven years ago.
00:13:55He wasn't called Cael back then.
00:13:57I named him Nayen.
00:13:59He once knelt at my feet and swore,
00:14:02Mistress,
00:14:03anyone who hurts you even a little will pay with an entire kingdom.
00:14:09Before the wedding carriage started moving,
00:14:12Cedric bent down to adjust my veil.
00:14:14To outsiders,
00:14:15he seemed like a devoted husband.
00:14:17Only I heard him whisper in my ear,
00:14:19Don't blame me.
00:14:20You're too smart,
00:14:21Ellaria.
00:14:23I looked at him,
00:14:25afraid I'll stand in your way.
00:14:28House Vang's gold mines,
00:14:30ports,
00:14:30and knightly order should all belong to the royal family.
00:14:33Once you die in the north,
00:14:34everything will naturally be mine.
00:14:36So this is the truth behind the sacrifice.
00:14:39It isn't a truce.
00:14:40It was greed,
00:14:40murder,
00:14:41and making room for his lover and his ambition.
00:14:43Leah came over,
00:14:44supporting her belly,
00:14:46and deliberately brushed her fingertips across my face.
00:14:49Don't worry, dear sister.
00:14:50I'll take care of his highness for you.
00:14:52My gaze swept over her belly.
00:14:55Are you sure the thing in your belly can really protect you?
00:14:58Her face stiffened.
00:15:02Cedric grabbed my chin hard.
00:15:04Still trying to turn us against each other?
00:15:07When you get to the north,
00:15:08you'll be begging the wolf king for a quick death.
00:15:11I did not struggle,
00:15:12because I suddenly remembered seven years ago.
00:15:14The only son of the Duke of Silverport,
00:15:17emboldened by his family's power,
00:15:19lingered at the gaze on me a banquet,
00:15:21and even said with smile,
00:15:23A beauty like Lady Vane should be locked up in my manor.
00:15:26That night,
00:15:27Nayin disappeared.
00:15:29The next morning,
00:15:30he knelt outside my door,
00:15:32covered in blood,
00:15:33holding the sapphire ring that
00:15:35belonged to the Duke of Silverport.
00:15:37Next to the ring,
00:15:38there was a pair of blood-stained eyeballs.
00:15:40He bowed his head,
00:15:42his voice respectful to the point of reverence.
00:15:44Mistress,
00:15:46he will never see you again.
00:15:47So at that moment,
00:15:48when Cedric was pinching my chin,
00:15:50I actually laughed.
00:15:51When Kale sees these wounds,
00:15:52I'm probably not the first person to ask for a quick death.
00:15:56Three days later,
00:15:57the wedding carriage stopped at the border of Frostwolf Realm.
00:16:00Black armored werewolf riders
00:16:02surrounded the convoy.
00:16:03General Graves,
00:16:04riding a dire wolf,
00:16:05coldly ordered,
00:16:07The offering gets out.
00:16:09Of course.
00:16:11My maid Mila blocked the carriage door.
00:16:14The crown princess is ill.
00:16:15She cannot walk through the snow.
00:16:17Cedric kicked her away.
00:16:23He grabbed my chains
00:16:24and dragged me out of the carriage.
00:16:27My knees slammed into ice,
00:16:29and blood immediately seeped out.
00:16:32The surrounding werewolves laughed.
00:16:34Graves used his riding cup
00:16:36to lift my veil.
00:16:38So this is Alaria's famed beauty.
00:16:41The human royal family
00:16:42is truly willing to part with her.
00:16:44As long as the Wolf King is satisfied,

00:16:47I looked up at him.
00:16:50I will repeat every word of that to Kale.
00:16:53He laughed as if he had heard a joke.
00:16:56You think the Wolf King will listen to you?
00:17:00I pushed myself up from the snow.
00:17:03He'll listen on his knees.
00:17:05As soon as I finished speaking,
00:17:07the entire clearing fell silent for a moment,
00:17:09then erupted into even more jarring laughter.
00:17:11Only an old werewolf in the distance went plail
00:17:14and stared hard at my face.
00:17:17The snow fell heavier and heavier.
00:17:20I walked barefoot through the icy mud,
00:17:22each step feeling like a knife
00:17:24cutting into the soles of my feet.
00:17:26Mira, dragging her injured leg,
00:17:28helped me up.
00:17:29Her lips were purple from the cold.
00:17:31In the warmer carriage behind,
00:17:33Leah Ternley said in a soft voice,
00:17:35Your Highnessness, I'm cold.
00:17:39Cedric Elliotly lifted the carriage curtain
00:17:41and looked at the white fox cloak on my shoulder.
00:17:45Bring it here.
00:17:48No! She'll freeze to death!
00:17:49The guard drew his sword to strike her,
00:17:51but I raised a hand to stop him,
00:17:53took off the cloak,
00:17:54and tossed it over.
00:17:55Give it to her.
00:17:59Leah took the cloak,
00:18:00but wrinkled her nose in disgust.
00:18:03It's stained with blood! How disgusting!
00:18:06Cedric smiled and casually tossed the cloak
00:18:08out of the carriage.
00:18:10The wolf rider's giant claws stomped on it,
00:18:13and the pure white fox fur
00:18:14instantly turned into mud.
00:18:16The crown princess of Averia
00:18:18can't even keep a cloak.
00:18:20When the wolf king is done with her,
00:18:22giving her to us wouldn't be bad.
00:18:24Cedric did not stop them,
00:18:26but instead said,
00:18:28It is her honor to serve the frost wolf warriors.
00:18:32I stopped and looked back at him.
00:18:35My stare made him uneasy,
00:18:36and he roared,
00:18:37Move!
00:18:38I smiled and continued forward.
00:18:41Cedric,
00:18:42you'd better remember every word you said today.
00:18:45Kale will love hearing that.
00:18:49In the evening,
00:18:51Leah leaned out of the carriage window.
00:18:53Holding a silver hand warmer in her hands,
00:18:55she smiled sweetly.
00:18:57Sister,
00:18:58your hands are all red from the cold,
00:19:00aren't they?
00:19:00Would you like to warm them up?
00:19:02The next second,
00:19:03the hand warm slipped from her hand
00:19:04and slammed hard onto the back of my hand.
00:19:07Live coals spilled out,
00:19:09instantly blistering my skin.
00:19:11Mira screamed and lunged at me,
00:19:13pressing snow against my wound.
00:19:16You did this on purpose!
00:19:18Leah immediately snuggled into Cedric's arms.
00:19:20Your Highness,
00:19:21I didn't mean to.
00:19:22I've been so clumsy since I got pregnant.
00:19:24Cedric didn't even glance at my injury,
00:19:26only coldly warning,
00:19:27Illyria,
00:19:28don't look at Leah like that.
00:19:29If you upset her and harm the child,
00:19:32I'll kill you.
00:19:33I looked down at the bloodbusters
00:19:34on the back of my hand.
00:19:36Seven years ago,
00:19:37I pricked my finger on a rose thorn
00:19:39in the vain Manishin greenhouse
00:19:41and barely bled a single drop.
00:19:43When Nayan saw it,
00:19:45his whole body froze.
00:19:48That night,
00:19:49the gardener responsible for pruning the roses
00:19:51was so frightened
00:19:52that he knelt outside the door
00:19:53because all the thorny roses in the estate
00:19:55had been uprooted overnight.
00:19:58Nayan stood in the rain,
00:19:59his hands covered in blood,
00:20:01holding a bundle of broken rose branches
00:20:04in his arms.
00:20:05Mistress,
00:20:06anything that hurts you
00:20:07should not be allowed to remain.
00:20:10Now,
00:20:11Leah has injured my hand
00:20:13with a scalding hand warmer
00:20:14and Cedric is threatening to kill me.
00:20:17I suddenly wondered
00:20:19whether he would cut off Leah's hand first
00:20:21or tear Cedric's throat apart first.
00:20:26When we arrived at the Frostwolf camp,
00:20:28I was so cold that I could barely stand.
00:20:31Black wolf banners lined the mountain ridges,
00:20:33the wind thick with the smell of rust and blood.
00:20:36Werewolf sauriers surrounded us
00:20:38like they were looking at cargo
00:20:39delivered to a slaughter block.
00:20:41Cedric adjusted his cloak,
00:20:43forcing himself to remain calm.
00:20:44Inform the Wolf King
00:20:46that Crown Prince Cedric requests an audience.
00:20:48Nobody paid him any attention.
00:20:50Just then,
00:20:51a one-eyed old general
00:20:52came out of the camp gate.
00:20:54He had been looking impatient,
00:20:56but he froze when he saw my face.
00:21:00You.
00:21:01His voice was trembling uncontrollably.
00:21:03I recognize him.
00:21:05Paul,
00:21:06seven years ago
00:21:07when Cael wasn't yet the Wolf King,
00:21:09he and Cael were besieged
00:21:10by rebels in Snow Valley.
00:21:12I delivered food and medicine,
00:21:14pulling them back from the brink of death.
00:21:16Cedric impatiently blocked his view.
00:21:17What are you looking at?
00:21:19This is the bride I am offering
00:21:21to your Wolf King.
00:21:22Paul's face turned deathly pale instantly.
00:21:25He looked at my chains,
00:21:26my wounds,
00:21:27my bare feet,
00:21:29and his eyes were filled
00:21:30with nothing but fear.
00:21:32He's not afraid of me.
00:21:33He was afraid of how many people
00:21:35in the Frost Wolf camp
00:21:36would die after Cael returned.
00:21:40The Wolf King is not in the camp.
00:21:43This remark visibly relieved Cedric
00:21:45and brought a smile
00:21:46to the other person's face.
00:21:48Marlow,
00:21:49the Frost Wolf steward,
00:21:50emerged from the main tent
00:21:52in a lavish fur robe,
00:21:53his eyes greasy and cold.
00:21:56He circled me once.
00:21:58The King's bride.
00:22:00She is indeed beautiful.
00:22:02If the steward is willing to speak
00:22:04on Illyria's behalf
00:22:05to the Wolf King,
00:22:06she can be handed over to you
00:22:08to examine first.
00:22:09You're still her husband!
00:22:12She's just a sacrifice now.
00:22:14Marlow smiled and reached out
00:22:15to touch my face.
00:22:16I looked up.
00:22:17You'd better not touch me.
00:22:18He paused for a moment,
00:22:19then burst into laughter.
00:22:21Human woman,
00:22:21do you know whose territory this is?
00:22:23I know.
00:22:24That's why I'm warning you.
00:22:25Marlin's face darkened.
00:22:26Hold her down.
00:22:28Several werewolves grabbed my shoulders,
00:22:29and Mira rushed over
00:22:31like a madwoman,
00:22:32only to be slapped
00:22:33to the ground in the snow.
00:22:34I heard her coughing up blood.
00:22:36At that moment,
00:22:37my smile vanished completely.
00:22:38Marlow ordered his men
00:22:39to drag Myra to the state.
00:22:41Since this maid
00:22:42likes protecting her mistress.
00:22:45The barbed wolf whip
00:22:46was lined with hooks,
00:22:47and it cut through the air
00:22:48with a sharp whistle.
00:22:50Don't make a scene.
00:22:51It'll affect the peace talks.
00:22:53Cedric stood to the side,
00:22:54his brow frellowed.
00:22:56Leah nestled in his arms
00:22:57and whispered,
00:22:58Your Highness,
00:22:59she is just a maid.
00:23:01Miss, don't worry about me!
00:23:03Mira was pressed down
00:23:04in the still crying out.
00:23:05Before the first lash fell,
00:23:06I broke free
00:23:07from the werewolf behind me
00:23:08and pounced on Mira.
00:23:09The barbs tore open my back.
00:23:11The pain exploded like fire,
00:23:13but I grint my teeth
00:23:14and didn't cry out.
00:23:15Miss!
00:23:16Marlom's eyes lit up
00:23:17with excitement.
00:23:18The king will prefer
00:23:19a bleeding bride.
00:23:21He reached out again
00:23:22to tear at my wedding dress.
00:23:24I stared at that hand
00:23:25and said softly,
00:23:26That hand is already forfeit.
00:23:28In the distance,
00:23:29the sound of horns
00:23:30suddenly tore
00:23:31through the wind and snow.
00:23:33All the werewolves
00:23:34turned around
00:23:35at the same time.
00:23:36The black wolf banner
00:23:37had returned to camp.
00:23:40The earth shook
00:23:41as direwolf riders
00:23:42charged into the camp
00:23:43through the wind and snow.
00:23:44The man at the front
00:23:45was clad in black armor,
00:23:47his silver hair
00:23:47stained red with blood,
00:23:49and he dragged
00:23:49the broken flag
00:23:50of the enemy leader
00:23:51in his hand.
00:23:52All the werewolves knelt.
00:23:54All hail the wolf king!
00:23:56Cedric's legs buckled
00:23:57and he almost knelt down.
00:23:58Marlom hurriedly released me
00:24:00and prostrated himself
00:24:00in the snow.
00:24:01My king,
00:24:02the Aurarian bride
00:24:02has been delivered.
00:24:03I was just inspecting her
00:24:04for you.
00:24:05Kale did not listen
00:24:06to the rest.
00:24:06He dismounted from
00:24:07the giant vault
00:24:08and coldly swept
00:24:09his gaze across the camp.
00:24:10That face was sharper,
00:24:11colder,
00:24:12and more like the monster
00:24:13from the rumors
00:24:13than it had been
00:24:14seven years ago.
00:24:15I helped Myra stand up,
00:24:16blood dripping from my back
00:24:18onto the snow.
00:24:19When Cedric saw
00:24:19that I still dared
00:24:20to raise my head,
00:24:21he hissed angrily.
00:24:24Kneel down!
00:24:25Do you want to get us killed?
00:24:26I ignored him.
00:24:27I looked at Kale's back
00:24:28and softly said,
00:24:30Nayan.
00:24:30The moment those two words
00:24:31were uttered,
00:24:32the entire Frostwolf camp
00:24:33seemed to freeze.
00:24:34Cedric stared at me in horror.
00:24:36Are you insane?
00:24:37How dare you call
00:24:38the wolf king
00:24:38by his old name?
00:24:56My husband was kissing
00:24:58his pregnant lover
00:24:59as he chained me
00:25:00to the sacrificial
00:25:01bridal carriage.
00:25:02The cold iron chains bound
00:25:04my wrists tightly
00:25:05and my wedding dress
00:25:07was soaked
00:25:07with snow and blood.
00:25:08In the royal capital square,
00:25:11every noble watched
00:25:12as I was pushed
00:25:12towards the north.
00:25:14Cedric turned
00:25:15to look at me.
00:25:16Ellaria,
00:25:16the Frostwolf king
00:25:17demands a bride
00:25:18for a truce.
00:25:19Lea is carrying my child.
00:25:20She cannot go
00:25:21to her death.
00:25:30I looked up at him.
00:25:31So you're giving me
00:25:32to the wolf king
00:25:33rumored to tear humans apart?
00:25:35Lea leaned into his arms,
00:25:36shedding fake tears.
00:25:38Dear sister,
00:25:39don't blame his highness.
00:25:41It's all for the kingdom.
00:25:42I laughed.
00:25:43What are you laughing at?
00:25:45Looking at the northern wind
00:25:46and snow,
00:25:47I whispered,
00:25:51I'm laughing because
00:25:52you delivered me back
00:25:53to him with your own hands.
00:25:55No one knew that Kale,
00:25:57the wolf king
00:25:57feared across the continent,
00:25:59had been only a wolf cub
00:26:01I rescued from the underground
00:26:02fighting pit
00:26:03seven years ago.
00:26:08He wasn't called Kale back then.
00:26:10I named him Nayen.
00:26:12He once knelt at my feet
00:26:13and swore,
00:26:15Mistress,
00:26:16anyone who hurts you
00:26:16even a little
00:26:17will pay with an entire kingdom.
00:26:22Before the wedding carriage
00:26:23started moving,
00:26:24Cedric bent down
00:26:25to adjust my veil.
00:26:26To outsiders,
00:26:27he seemed like a devoted husband.
00:26:29Only I heard him whisper
00:26:31in my ear,
00:26:31Don't blame me.
00:26:32You're too smart,
00:26:34Elaria.
00:26:35I looked at him,
00:26:37afraid I'll stand in your way.
00:26:41House Vang's gold mines,
00:26:42ports,
00:26:43and knightly order
00:26:43should all belong
00:26:44to the royal family.
00:26:45Once you die in the north,
00:26:47everything will naturally be mine.
00:26:49So this is the truth
00:26:50behind the sacrifice.
00:26:51It isn't a truce.
00:26:52It was greed,
00:26:53murder,
00:26:54and making room
00:26:54for his lover
00:26:55and his ambition.
00:26:56Lea came over,
00:26:57supporting her belly,
00:26:58and deliberately brushed
00:26:59her fingertips
00:27:00across my face.
00:27:01Don't worry,
00:27:02dear sister.
00:27:02I'll take care
00:27:03of his highness for you.
00:27:05My gaze swept
00:27:06over her belly.
00:27:07Are you sure
00:27:08the thing in your belly
00:27:09can really protect you?
00:27:11Her face stiffened.
00:27:15Cedric grabbed my chin hard.
00:27:17Still trying to turn us
00:27:18against each other?
00:27:20When you get to the north,
00:27:21you'll be begging
00:27:22the Wolf King
00:27:22for a quick death.
00:27:23I did not struggle
00:27:24because I suddenly remembered
00:27:26seven years ago.
00:27:27The only son
00:27:28of the Duke of Silverport,
00:27:29emboldened
00:27:30by his family's power,
00:27:31lingered at the gaze
00:27:33on me a banquet
00:27:33and even said with smile,
00:27:36A beauty like Lady Vane
00:27:37should be locked up
00:27:38in my manor.
00:27:39That night,
00:27:40Nayen disappeared.
00:27:41The next morning,
00:27:42he knelt outside my door,
00:27:44covered in blood,
00:27:46holding the sapphire ring
00:27:47that belonged
00:27:48to the Duke of Silverport.
00:27:49Next to the ring,
00:27:50there was a pair
00:27:51of blood-stained eyeballs.
00:27:53He bowed his head,
00:27:54his voice respectful
00:27:55to the point of reverence.
00:27:57Mistress,
00:27:58he will never see you again.
00:28:00So at that moment,
00:28:01when Cedric was pinching my chin,
00:28:02I actually laughed.
00:28:04When Kale sees these wounds,
00:28:05I'm probably not the first person
00:28:06to ask for a quick death.
00:28:08Three days later,
00:28:10the wedding carriage
00:28:10stopped at the border
00:28:11of Frostwolf Realm.
00:28:13Black-armored werewolf riders
00:28:14surrounded the convoy.
00:28:16General Graves,
00:28:17riding a dire wolf,
00:28:18coldly ordered,
00:28:19The offering gets out.
00:28:21Of course.
00:28:24My maid Mila
00:28:25blocked the carriage door.
00:28:26The crown princess is ill.
00:28:28She cannot walk through the snow.
00:28:29Cedric kicked her away.
00:28:36He grabbed my chains
00:28:37and dragged me out of the carriage.
00:28:40My knees slammed into ice,
00:28:42and blood immediately seeped out.
00:28:44The surrounding werewolves laughed.
00:28:47Graves used his riding cup
00:28:48to lift my veil.
00:28:51So this is Alaria's famed beauty.
00:28:53The human royal family
00:28:54is truly willing to part with her.
00:28:56As long as the Wolf King
00:28:57is satisfied,
00:28:58do with her as you please.
00:29:00I looked up at him.
00:29:02I will repeat every word
00:29:04of that to Kale.
00:29:05He laughed
00:29:06as if he had heard a joke.
00:29:09You think the Wolf King
00:29:10will listen to you?
00:29:12I pushed myself up
00:29:14from the snow.
00:29:15He'll listen on his knees.
00:29:17As soon as I finished speaking,
00:29:19the entire clearing
00:29:20fell silent for a moment,
00:29:22then erupted
00:29:22into even more jarring laughter.
00:29:24Only an old werewolf
00:29:25in the distance
00:29:26went plail
00:29:27and stared hard at my face.
00:29:30The snow fell heavier
00:29:31and heavier.
00:29:32I walked barefoot
00:29:33through the icy mud,
00:29:35each step feeling
00:29:36like a knife
00:29:36cutting into the soles
00:29:37of my feet.
00:29:38Mira,
00:29:39dragging her injured leg,
00:29:41helped me up.
00:29:42Her lips were purple
00:29:43from the cold.
00:29:44In the warmer carriage behind,
00:29:46Leah Ternley said
00:29:46in a soft voice,
00:29:47Your Highnessness,
00:29:49I'm cold.
00:29:51Cedric
00:29:52eliotly lifted
00:29:52the carriage curtain
00:29:53and looked at the
00:29:54white fox cloak
00:29:55on my shoulder.
00:29:58Bring it here.
00:30:00No!
00:30:01She'll freeze to death!
00:30:02The guard drew his sword
00:30:03to strike her,
00:30:04but I raised a hand
00:30:05to stop him,
00:30:05took off the cloak
00:30:07and tossed it over.
00:30:08Give it to her.
00:30:11Leah took the cloak,
00:30:13but wrinkled her nose
00:30:14in disgust.
00:30:16It's stained with blood,
00:30:17how disgusting!
00:30:19Cedric smiled
00:30:20and casually tossed
00:30:21the cloak
00:30:21out of the carriage.
00:30:22The wolf rider's
00:30:23giant claws
00:30:24stomped on it,
00:30:25and the pure white fox fur
00:30:27instantly turned into mud.
00:30:29The crown princess
00:30:30of Averia
00:30:31can't even keep a cloak.
00:30:32When the wolf king
00:30:33is done with her,
00:30:34giving her to us
00:30:35wouldn't be bad.
00:30:37Cedric did not
00:30:38stop them,
00:30:38but instead said,
00:30:40It is her honor
00:30:42to serve
00:30:42the frost wolf warriors.
00:30:44I stopped
00:30:45and looked back
00:30:46at him.
00:30:47My stare
00:30:48made him uneasy
00:30:49and he roared,
00:30:50Move!
00:30:50I smiled and continued
00:30:53forward.
00:30:54Cedric,
00:30:54you'd better remember
00:30:56every word you said today.
00:30:58Kale will love
00:30:59hearing that.
00:31:02In the evening,
00:31:04Leah leaned out
00:31:04of the carriage window.
00:31:05Holding a silver
00:31:06hand warmer in her hands,
00:31:08she smiled sweetly.
00:31:09Sister,
00:31:10your hands are all
00:31:11red from the cold,
00:31:12aren't they?
00:31:13Would you like
00:31:14to warm them up?
00:31:14The next second,
00:31:15the hand warm
00:31:16slipped from her hand
00:31:17and slammed hard
00:31:18onto the back
00:31:19of my hand.
00:31:19Live coals spilled out,
00:31:21instantly blistering
00:31:22my skin.
00:31:24Mira screamed
00:31:24and lunged at me,
00:31:26pressing snow
00:31:26against my wound.
00:31:29You did this
00:31:29on purpose!
00:31:30Leah immediately
00:31:31snuggled into
00:31:32Cedric's arms.
00:31:33Your Highness,
00:31:34I didn't mean to.
00:31:35I've been so clumsy
00:31:36since I got pregnant.
00:31:37Cedric didn't even glance
00:31:38at my injury,
00:31:39only coldly warning,
00:31:40Elyria,
00:31:40don't look at Leah
00:31:41like that.
00:31:42If you upset her
00:31:43and harm the child,
00:31:44I'll kill you.
00:31:45I looked down
00:31:46at the bloodbusters
00:31:47on the back of my hand,
00:31:48seven years ago,
00:31:50I pricked my finger
00:31:51on a rose thorn
00:31:52in the vain
00:31:52Manishin greenhouse
00:31:53and barely bled
00:31:54a single drop.
00:31:56When Nain saw it,
00:31:57his whole body froze.
00:32:01That night,
00:32:02the gardener
00:32:02responsible for pruning
00:32:03the roses
00:32:03was so frightened
00:32:04that he knelt
00:32:05outside the door
00:32:06because all the thorny roses
00:32:07in the estate
00:32:08had been uprooted overnight.
00:32:10Nain stood in the rain,
00:32:12his hands covered in blood,
00:32:14holding a bundle
00:32:15of broken rose branches
00:32:16in his arms.
00:32:17Mistress,
00:32:18anything that hurts you
00:32:20should not be allowed
00:32:21to remain.
00:32:23Now,
00:32:24Leah has injured my hand
00:32:25with a scalding hand warmer
00:32:27and Cedric is threatening
00:32:29to kill me.
00:32:30I suddenly wondered
00:32:31whether he would cut off
00:32:32Leah's hand first
00:32:34or tear Cedric's throat
00:32:36apart first.
00:32:38When we arrived
00:32:40at the Frostwolf camp,
00:32:41I was so cold
00:32:42that I could barely stand.
00:32:43Black wolf banners
00:32:44lined the mountain ridges,
00:32:46the wind thick
00:32:47with the smell
00:32:47of rust and blood.
00:32:49Werewolf sauriers
00:32:50surrounded us
00:32:50like they were looking
00:32:51at cargo delivered
00:32:52to a slaughter block.
00:32:54Cedric adjusted his cloak,
00:32:55forcing himself
00:32:56to remain calm.
00:32:57Inform the wolf king
00:32:58that Crown Prince Cedric
00:32:59requests an audience.
00:33:01Nobody paid him
00:33:02any attention.
00:33:03Just then,
00:33:04a one-eyed old general
00:33:05came out of the camp gate.
00:33:07He had been looking impatient,
00:33:09but he froze
00:33:09when he saw my face.
00:33:12You.
00:33:13His voice was trembling
00:33:14uncontrollably.
00:33:16I recognize him.
00:33:18Hall,
00:33:19seven years ago
00:33:20when Cael wasn't yet
00:33:21the wolf king,
00:33:21he and Cael were besieged
00:33:23by rebels in Snow Valley.
00:33:24I delivered food and medicine,
00:33:26pulling them back
00:33:27from the brink of death.
00:33:28Cedric impatiently
00:33:29blocked his view.
00:33:30What are you looking at?
00:33:32This is the bride
00:33:33I am offering
00:33:34to your wolf king.
00:33:35Hall's face
00:33:36turned deathly pale
00:33:37instantly.
00:33:38He looked at my chains,
00:33:39my wounds,
00:33:40my bare feet,
00:33:41and his eyes
00:33:42were filled
00:33:43with nothing but fear.
00:33:44He's not afraid of me.
00:33:46He was afraid
00:33:47of how many people
00:33:48in the frost wolf camp
00:33:49would die
00:33:49after Cael returned.
00:33:53The wolf king
00:33:54is not in the camp.
00:33:55This remark
00:33:56visibly relieved Cedric
00:33:58and brought a smile
00:33:59to the other person's face.
00:34:00Marlow,
00:34:01the frost wolf steward,
00:34:03emerged from the main tent
00:34:04in a lavish fur robe,
00:34:06his eyes greasy and cold.
00:34:08He circled me once.
00:34:10The king's bride,
00:34:12she is indeed beautiful.
00:34:14If the steward
00:34:15is willing to speak
00:34:16on Illyria's behalf
00:34:18to the wolf king,
00:34:19she can be handed over
00:34:20to you to examine first.
00:34:22You're still her husband!
00:34:24She's just a sacrifice now.
00:34:26Marlow smiled
00:34:27and reached out
00:34:28to touch my face.
00:34:29I looked up.
00:34:29You'd better not touch me.
00:34:31He paused for a moment,
00:34:32then burst into laughter.
00:34:33Human woman,
00:34:34do you know
00:34:35whose territory this is?
00:34:36I know.
00:34:36That's why I'm warning you.
00:34:38Marlin's face darkened.
00:34:39Hold her down.
00:34:40Several werewolves
00:34:41grabbed my shoulders
00:34:42and Mira rushed over
00:34:43like a madwoman,
00:34:45only to be slapped
00:34:46to the ground in the snow.
00:34:47I heard her coughing up blood.
00:34:49At that moment,
00:34:49my smile vanished completely.
00:34:51Marlow ordered his men
00:34:52to drag Myra to the state.
00:34:53Since this maid
00:34:55likes protecting her mistress.
00:34:57The barbed wolf whip
00:34:59was lined with hooks
00:35:00and it cut through the air
00:35:01with a sharp whistle.
00:35:02Don't make a scene.
00:35:03It'll affect the peace talks.
00:35:05Cedric stood to the side,
00:35:07his brow frellowed.
00:35:08Leah nestled in his arms
00:35:09and whispered,
00:35:11Your Highness,
00:35:12she is just a maid.
00:35:14Miss, don't worry about me!
00:35:15Mira was pressed down
00:35:16in the still crying out.
00:35:18Before the first lash fell,
00:35:19I broke free from the werewolf
00:35:20behind me
00:35:21and pounced on Mira.
00:35:22The barbs tore open my back.
00:35:24The pain exploded like fire,
00:35:26but I grint my teeth
00:35:27and didn't cry out.
00:35:28Miss!
00:35:29Marlum's eyes lit up
00:35:30with excitement.
00:35:31The king will prefer
00:35:32a bleeding bride.
00:35:34He reached out again
00:35:35to tear at my wedding dress.
00:35:36I stared at that hand
00:35:37and said softly,
00:35:38That hand is already forfeit.
00:35:40In the distance,
00:35:42the sound of horns
00:35:43suddenly tore
00:35:44through the wind and snow.
00:35:45All the werewolves
00:35:47turned around
00:35:47at the same time.
00:35:48The black wolf banner
00:35:50had returned to camp.
00:35:52The earth shook
00:35:53as dire wolf riders
00:35:54charged into the camp
00:35:56through the wind and snow.
00:35:57The man at the front
00:35:58was clad in black armor,
00:35:59his silver hair
00:36:00stained red with blood,
00:36:01and he dragged
00:36:02the broken flag
00:36:03of the enemy leader
00:36:04in his hand.
00:36:04All the werewolves knelt.
00:36:06All hail the wolf king!
00:36:08Cedric's legs buckled
00:36:09and he almost knelt down.
00:36:11Marlum hurriedly released me
00:36:12and prostrated himself
00:36:13in the snow.
00:36:14My king,
00:36:14the Aurarian bride
00:36:15has been delivered.
00:36:16I was just inspecting her for you.
00:36:17Kale did not listen
00:36:18to the rest.
00:36:19He dismounted
00:36:20from the giant vault
00:36:21and coldly swept
00:36:21his gaze across the camp.
00:36:23That face was sharper,
00:36:24colder,
00:36:24and more like the monster
00:36:25from the rumors
00:36:26than it had been
00:36:26seven years ago.
00:36:27I helped Myra stand up,
00:36:29blood dripping
00:36:30from my back
00:36:30onto the snow.
00:36:31When Cedric saw
00:36:32that I still dared
00:36:33to raise my head,
00:36:34he hissed angrily.
00:36:36Kneel down!
00:36:37Do you want
00:36:38to get us killed?
00:36:39I ignored him.
00:36:40I looked at Kale's back
00:36:41and softly said,
00:36:42Nan.
00:36:42The moment those
00:36:43two words were uttered,
00:36:45the entire Frostwolf camp
00:36:46seemed to freeze.
00:36:47Cedric stared at me
00:36:48in horror.
00:36:49Are you insane?
00:36:50How dare you call
00:36:51the Wolf King
00:36:51by his old name?
00:37:08My husband was kissing
00:37:10his pregnant lover
00:37:11as he chained me
00:37:12to the sacrificial
00:37:14bridal carriage.
00:37:15The cold iron chains
00:37:16bound my wrists tightly
00:37:18and my wedding dress
00:37:19was soaked
00:37:20with snow and blood.
00:37:21In the royal capital square,
00:37:23every noble watched
00:37:24as I was pushed
00:37:25towards the north.
00:37:27Cedric turned
00:37:27to look at me.
00:37:28Ellaria,
00:37:29the Frostwolf King
00:37:30demands a bride
00:37:30for a truce.
00:37:31Leah is carrying my child.
00:37:33She cannot go
00:37:33to her death.
00:37:42I looked up at him.
00:37:44So you're giving me
00:37:45to the Wolf King
00:37:46rumored to tear humans apart?
00:37:47Leah leaned into his arms,
00:37:49shedding fake tears.
00:37:50Dear sister,
00:37:52don't blame his highness.
00:37:53It's all for the kingdom.
00:37:54I laughed.
00:37:56What are you laughing at?
00:37:58Looking at the northern wind
00:37:59and snow,
00:38:00I whispered,
00:38:03I'm laughing because
00:38:05you delivered me back
00:38:06to him with your own hands.
00:38:08No one knew that Kale,
00:38:09the Wolf King
00:38:10feared across the continent,
00:38:12had been only a wolf cub
00:38:13I rescued from the underground
00:38:15fighting pit seven years ago.
00:38:20He wasn't called Kale back then.
00:38:23I named him Nayen.
00:38:24He once knelt at my feet
00:38:26and swore,
00:38:27Mistress,
00:38:28anyone who hurts you
00:38:29even a little
00:38:30will pay with an entire kingdom.
00:38:34Before the wedding carriage
00:38:36started moving,
00:38:37Cedric bent down
00:38:38to adjust my veil.
00:38:39To outsiders,
00:38:40he seemed like a devoted husband.
00:38:42Only I heard him whisper in my ear,
00:38:44Don't blame me.
00:38:45You're too smart, Elaria.
00:38:48I looked at him,
00:38:50afraid I'll stand in your way.
00:38:53House Vang's gold mines,
00:38:55ports,
00:38:55and knightly order
00:38:56should all belong
00:38:57to the royal family.
00:38:58Once you die in the north,
00:38:59everything will naturally be mine.
00:39:01So this is the truth
00:39:02behind the sacrifice.
00:39:03It isn't a truce.
00:39:05It was greed,
00:39:06murder,
00:39:06and making room
00:39:07for his lover
00:39:08and his ambition.
00:39:09Leah came over,
00:39:09supporting her belly
00:39:11and deliberately brushed
00:39:12her fingertips
00:39:13across my face.
00:39:14Don't worry, dear sister.
00:39:15I'll take care
00:39:16of his highness for you.
00:39:17My gaze swept
00:39:18over her belly.
00:39:20Are you sure
00:39:21the thing in your belly
00:39:22can really protect you?
00:39:23Her face stiffened.
00:39:27Cedric grabbed my chin hard.
00:39:29Still trying to turn us
00:39:30against each other?
00:39:32When you get to the north,
00:39:34you'll be begging
00:39:34the Wolf King
00:39:35for a quick death.
00:39:36I did not struggle
00:39:37because I suddenly remembered
00:39:38seven years ago.
00:39:39The only son
00:39:40of the Duke of Silverport,
00:39:42emboldened by his family's power,
00:39:45lingered at the gaze
00:39:45on me a banquet
00:39:46and even said with smile,
00:39:48A beauty like Lady Vane
00:39:49should be locked up
00:39:50in my manor.
00:39:52That night,
00:39:53Nayen disappeared.
00:39:54The next morning,
00:39:55he knelt outside my door,
00:39:57covered in blood,
00:39:58holding the sapphire ring
00:40:00that belonged
00:40:00to the Duke of Silverport.
00:40:02Next to the ring,
00:40:03there was a pair
00:40:04of blood-stained eyeballs.
00:40:05He bowed his head,
00:40:07his voice respectful
00:40:08to the point of reverence.
00:40:10Mistress,
00:40:11he will never see you again.
00:40:13So at that moment,
00:40:13when Cedric was pinching my chin,
00:40:15I actually laughed.
00:40:16When Kale sees these wounds,
00:40:17I'm probably not the first person
00:40:19to ask for a quick death.
00:40:21Three days later,
00:40:22the wedding carriage
00:40:23stopped at the border
00:40:24of Frostwolf Realm.
00:40:25Black-armored werewolf riders
00:40:27surrounded the convoy.
00:40:29General Graves,
00:40:29riding a dire wolf,
00:40:31coldly ordered.
00:40:31The offering gets out.
00:40:34Of course.
00:40:37My maid Mila
00:40:38blocked the carriage door.
00:40:39The crown princess is ill.
00:40:40She cannot walk through the snow.
00:40:42Cedric kicked her away.
00:40:48He grabbed my chains
00:40:50and dragged me out of the carriage.
00:40:52My knees slammed into ice,
00:40:54and blood immediately seeped out.
00:40:57The surrounding werewolves laughed.
00:41:00Graves used his riding cup
00:41:01to lift my veil.
00:41:03So this is Alaria's famed beauty.
00:41:06The human royal family
00:41:07is truly willing to part with her.
00:41:09As long as the Wolf King is satisfied,
00:41:11do with her as you please.
00:41:13I looked up at him.
00:41:15I will repeat every word of that to Kale.
00:41:18He laughed as if he had heard a joke.
00:41:21You think the Wolf King
00:41:23will listen to you?
00:41:25I pushed myself up from the snow.
00:41:28He'll listen on his knees.
00:41:30As soon as I finished speaking,
00:41:32the entire clearing fell silent for a moment,
00:41:34then erupted into even more jarring laughter.
00:41:37Only an old werewolf in the distance
00:41:39went plail and stared hard at my face.
00:41:42The snow fell heavier and heavier.
00:41:45I walked barefoot through the icy mud,
00:41:47each step feeling like a knife
00:41:49cutting into the soles of my feet.
00:41:51Mira, dragging her injured leg,
00:41:53helped me up.
00:41:54Her lips were purple from the cold.
00:41:56In the warmer carriage behind,
00:41:58Leah ternly said in a soft voice,
00:42:00Your Highnessness, I'm cold.
00:42:04Cedric eliatly lifted the carriage curtain
00:42:06and looked at the white fox cloak on my shoulder.
00:42:10Bring it here.
00:42:13No! She'll freeze to death!
00:42:15The guard drew his sword to strike her,
00:42:16but I raised a hand to stop him,
00:42:18took off the cloak,
00:42:19and tossed it over.
00:42:21Give it to her.
00:42:24Leah took the cloak,
00:42:25but wrinkled her nose in disgust.
00:42:29It's stained with blood!
00:42:30How disgusting!
00:42:31Cedric smiled and casually tossed the cloak
00:42:34out of the carriage.
00:42:35The wolf rider's giant claws stomped on it,
00:42:38and the pure white fox fur
00:42:39instantly turned into mud.
00:42:41The crown princess of Averia can't even keep a cloak.
00:42:45When the wolf king is done with her,
00:42:47giving her to us wouldn't be bad.
00:42:49Cedric did not stop them,
00:42:51but instead said,
00:42:53It is her honor to serve the frost wolf warriors.
00:42:56I stopped and looked back at him.
00:43:00My stare made him uneasy,
00:43:02and he roared,
00:43:03Move!
00:43:04I smiled and continued forward.
00:43:06Cedric,
00:43:07you'd better remember every word you said today.
00:43:10Cale will love hearing that.
00:43:14In the evening,
00:43:16Leah leaned out of the carriage window.
00:43:18Holding a silver hand warmer in her hands,
00:43:20she smiled sweetly.
00:43:22Sister,
00:43:23your hands are all red from the cold,
00:43:25aren't they?
00:43:25Would you like to warm them up?
00:43:27The next second,
00:43:28the hand warm slipped from her hand
00:43:30and slammed hard onto the back of my hand.
00:43:32Live coals spilled out,
00:43:34instantly blistering my skin.
00:43:36Mira screamed and lunged at me,
00:43:38pressing snow against my wound.
00:43:41You did this on purpose!
00:43:43Leah immediately snuggled into Cedric's arms.
00:43:45Your Highness,
00:43:46I didn't mean to.
00:43:47I've been so clumsy since I got pregnant.
00:43:49Cedric didn't even glance at my injury,
00:43:51only coldly warning,
00:43:52Elyria,
00:43:53don't look at Leah like that.
00:43:55If you upset her and harm the child,
00:43:57I'll kill you.
00:43:58I looked down at the bloodbusters on the back of my hand.
00:44:01Seven years ago,
00:44:02I pricked my finger on a rose thorn
00:44:04in the vain Manishin greenhouse
00:44:06and barely bled a single drop.
00:44:08When Nayan saw it,
00:44:10his whole body froze.
00:44:13That night,
00:44:14the gardener responsible for pruning the roses
00:44:16was so frightened that he knelt outside the door
00:44:18because all the thorny roses in the estate
00:44:20had been uprooted overnight.
00:44:23Nayan stood in the rain,
00:44:25his hands covered in blood,
00:44:26holding a bundle of broken rose branches in his arms.
00:44:30Mistress,
00:44:31anything that hurts you
00:44:32should not be allowed to remain.
00:44:35Now,
00:44:37Leah has injured my hand
00:44:38with a scalding hand warmer,
00:44:40and Cedric is threatening to kill me.
00:44:43I suddenly wondered
00:44:44whether he would cut off Leah's hand first
00:44:47or tear Cedric's throat apart first.
00:44:51When we arrived at the Frostwolf camp,
00:44:53I was so cold that I could barely stand.
00:44:56Black wolf banners lined the mountain ridges,
00:44:58the wind thick with the smell of rust and blood.
00:45:01Werewolf sauriers surrounded us
00:45:03like they were looking at cargo
00:45:04delivered to a slaughter block.
00:45:06Cedric adjusted his cloak,
00:45:08forcing himself to remain calm.
00:45:10Inform the Wolf King
00:45:11that Crown Prince Cedric requests an audience.
00:45:13Nobody paid him any attention.
00:45:15Just then,
00:45:16a one-eyed old general
00:45:17came out of the camp gate.
00:45:19He had been looking impatient,
00:45:21but he froze when he saw my face.
00:45:25You.
00:45:26His voice was trembling uncontrollably.
00:45:28I recognize him.
00:45:31Paul,
00:45:31seven years ago
00:45:32when Cale wasn't yet the Wolf King,
00:45:34he and Cale were besieged
00:45:35by rebels in Snow Valley.
00:45:37I delivered food and medicine,
00:45:39pulling them back from the brink of death.
00:45:41Cedric impatiently blocked his view.
00:45:43What are you looking at?
00:45:44This is the bride
00:45:45I am offering to your Wolf King.
00:45:48Hall's face turned deathly pale instantly.
00:45:50He looked at my chains,
00:45:52my wounds,
00:45:53my bare feet,
00:45:54and his eyes were filled
00:45:55with nothing but fear.
00:45:57He's not afraid of me.
00:45:59He was afraid of how many people
00:46:00in the Frost Wolf camp
00:46:02would die after Cale returned.
00:46:05The Wolf King is not in the camp.
00:46:08This remark visibly relieved Cedric
00:46:10and brought a smile
00:46:11to the other person's face.
00:46:13Marlow,
00:46:14the Frost Wolf steward,
00:46:15emerged from the main tent
00:46:17in a lavish fur robe,
00:46:18his eyes greasy and cold.
00:46:21He circled me once.
00:46:23The King's bride.
00:46:25She is indeed beautiful.
00:46:27If the steward is willing to speak
00:46:29on Illyria's behalf
00:46:30to the Wolf King,
00:46:32she can be handed over to you
00:46:33to examine first.
00:46:34You're still her husband!
00:46:37She's just a sacrifice now.
00:46:39Marlow smiled and reached out
00:46:40to touch my face.
00:46:41I looked up.
00:46:42You'd better not touch me.
00:46:43He paused for a moment,
00:46:45then burst into laughter.
00:46:46Human woman,
00:46:47do you know whose territory this is?
00:46:48I know.
00:46:49That's why I'm warning you.
00:46:50Marlin's face darkened.
00:46:51Hold her down.
00:46:53Several werewolves grabbed my shoulders,
00:46:55and Meera rushed over
00:46:56like a madwoman,
00:46:57only to be slapped
00:46:58to the ground in the snow.
00:47:00I heard her coughing up blood.
00:47:01At that moment,
00:47:02my smile vanished completely.
00:47:04Marlow ordered his men
00:47:05to drag Myra to the state.
00:47:06Since this maid
00:47:07likes protecting her mistress.
00:47:10The barbed wolf whip
00:47:11was lined with hooks,
00:47:12and it cut through the air
00:47:13with a sharp whistle.
00:47:15Don't make a scene.
00:47:16It'll affect the peace talks.
00:47:18Cedric stood to the side,
00:47:19his brow frellowed.
00:47:20Leah nestled in his arms
00:47:22and whispered,
00:47:23Your Highness,
00:47:24she is just a maid.
00:47:27Miss, don't worry about me!
00:47:28Meera was pressed down
00:47:29in the still crying out.
00:47:30Before the first lash fell,
00:47:32I broke free from the werewolf
00:47:33behind me
00:47:33and pounced on Meera.
00:47:35The barbs tore open my back.
00:47:36The pain exploded like fire,
00:47:38but I grint my teeth
00:47:39and didn't cry out.
00:47:40Miss!
00:47:41Marlin's eyes lit up
00:47:42with excitement.
00:47:43The king will prefer
00:47:45a bleeding bride.
00:47:46He reached out again
00:47:47to tear at my wedding dress.
00:47:49I stared at that hand
00:47:50and said softly,
00:47:51That hand is already forfeit.
00:47:53In the distance,
00:47:54the sound of horns
00:47:55suddenly tore
00:47:56through the wind and snow.
00:47:58All the werewolves
00:47:59turned around
00:48:00at the same time.
00:48:01The black wolf banner
00:48:02had returned to camp.
00:48:05The earth shook
00:48:06as dire wolf riders
00:48:07charged into the camp
00:48:08through the wind and snow.
00:48:09The man at the front
00:48:10was clad in black armor,
00:48:12his silver hair
00:48:13stained red with blood,
00:48:14and he dragged the broken flag
00:48:15of the enemy leader
00:48:16in his hand.
00:48:17All the werewolves knelt.
00:48:21Cedric's legs buckled
00:48:22and he almost knelt down.
00:48:24Marlo hurriedly released me
00:48:25and prostrated himself
00:48:26in the snow.
00:48:26My king,
00:48:27the Aurarian bride
00:48:28has been delivered.
00:48:28I was just inspecting
00:48:29her for you.
00:48:30Kale did not listen
00:48:31to the rest.
00:48:32He dismounted
00:48:32from the giant vault
00:48:33and coldly swept
00:48:34his gaze across the camp.
00:48:35That face was sharper,
00:48:36colder,
00:48:37and more like the monster
00:48:38from the rumors
00:48:38than it had been
00:48:39seven years ago.
00:48:40I helped Myra stand up,
00:48:42blood dripping from my back
00:48:43onto the snow.
00:48:44When Cedric saw
00:48:45that I still dared
00:48:45to raise my head,
00:48:46he hissed angrily.
00:48:49Kneel down!
00:48:50Do you want to get us killed?
00:48:51I ignored him.
00:48:52I looked at Kale's back
00:48:53and softly said,
00:48:55Nan.
00:48:55The moment those two words
00:48:56were uttered,
00:48:57the entire Frostwolf camp
00:48:58seemed to freeze.
00:49:00Cedric stared at me
00:49:01in horror.
00:49:01Are you insane?
00:49:02How dare you call
00:49:03the Wolf King
00:49:04by his old name?
00:49:09Are you insane?
00:49:43Oh, I did not know.
00:49:43Oh, God.
00:49:44I can't...
00:49:44I know...
00:49:44.
00:50:14.
00:50:44.
00:50:44.
00:50:47Before the wedding carriage started moving, Cedric bent down to adjust my veil.
00:50:52To outsiders, he seemed like a devoted husband.
00:50:55Only I heard him whisper in my ear,
00:50:57Don't blame me. You're too smart, Elaria.
00:51:00I looked at him, afraid I'll stand in your way.
00:51:06House Vang's gold mines, ports, and knightly order should all belong to the royal family.
00:51:10Once you die in the North, everything will naturally be mine.
00:51:14So this is the truth behind the sacrifice. It isn't a truce.
00:51:17It was greed, murder, and making room for his lover and his ambition.
00:51:21Leah came over, supporting her belly, and deliberately brushed her fingertips across my face.
00:51:27Don't worry, dear sister. I'll take care of His Highness for you.
00:51:30My gaze swept over her belly.
00:51:33Are you sure the thing in your belly can really protect you?
00:51:36Her face stiffened.
00:51:40Cedric grabbed my chin hard.
00:51:42Still trying to turn us against each other?
00:51:45When you get to the North, you'll be begging the Wolf King for a quick death.
00:51:48I did not struggle, because I suddenly remembered seven years ago.
00:51:52The only son of the Duke of Silverport, emboldened by his family's power,
00:51:57lingered at the gaze on me a banquet and even said with smile,
00:52:00A beauty like Lady Vane should be locked up in my manor.
00:52:04That night, Nayin disappeared.
00:52:06The next morning, he knelt outside my door, covered in blood, holding the sapphire ring that belonged to the Duke
00:52:13of Silverport.
00:52:14Next to the ring, there was a pair of blood-stained eyeballs.
00:52:18He bowed his head, his voice respectful to the point of reverence.
00:52:22Mistress, he will never see you again.
00:52:25So at that moment when Cedric was pinching my chin, I actually laughed.
00:52:29When Kale sees these wounds, I'm probably not the first person to ask for a quick death.
00:52:34Three days later, the wedding carriage stopped at the border of Frostwolf realm.
00:52:38Black armored werewolf riders surrounded the convoy.
00:52:41General Graves, riding a dire wolf, coldly ordered.
00:52:44The offering gets out.
00:52:47Of course.
00:52:49My maid Mila blocked the carriage door.
00:52:52The crown princess is ill! She cannot walk through the snow!
00:52:54Cedric kicked her away.
00:53:01He grabbed my chains and dragged me out of the carriage.
00:53:05My knees slammed into ice, and blood immediately seeped out.
00:53:09The surrounding werewolves laughed.
00:53:12Graves used his riding cup to lift my veil.
00:53:16So this is Alaria's famed beauty.
00:53:18The human royal family is truly willing to part with her.
00:53:21As long as the Wolf King is satisfied, do with her as you please.
00:53:25I looked up at him.
00:53:27I will repeat every word of that to Kale.
00:53:30He laughed as if he had heard a joke.
00:53:34You think the Wolf King will listen to you?
00:53:38I pushed myself up from the snow.
00:53:41He'll listen on his knees.
00:53:43As soon as I finished speaking, the entire clearing fell silent for a moment,
00:53:47then erupted into even more jarring laughter.
00:53:49Only an old werewolf in the distance went plail and stared hard at my face.
00:53:55The snow fell heavier and heavier.
00:53:57I walked barefoot through the icy mud, each step feeling like a knife cutting into the soles of my feet.
00:54:04Mira, dragging her injured leg, helped me up.
00:54:07Her lips were purple from the cold.
00:54:09In the warmer carriage behind, Leah Ternley said in a soft voice,
00:54:12Your Highnessness, I'm cold.
00:54:16Cedric Elliotly lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the white fox cloak on my shoulder.
00:54:23Bring it here.
00:54:25No! She'll freeze to death!
00:54:27The guard drew his sword to strike her, but I raised a hand to stop him, took off the cloak,
00:54:32and tossed it over.
00:54:33Give it to her!
00:54:36Leah took the cloak, but wrinkled her nose in disgust.
00:54:41It's stained with blood! How disgusting!
00:54:44Cedric smiled and casually tossed the cloak out of the carriage.
00:54:47The wolf rider's giant claws stomped on it, and the pure white fox fur instantly turned into mud.
00:54:54The crown princess of Averia can't even keep a cloak.
00:54:58When the wolf king is done with her, giving her to us wouldn't be bad.
00:55:02Cedric did not stop them, but instead said,
00:55:05It is her honor to serve the frost wolf warriors.
00:55:10I stopped and looked back at him.
00:55:13My stare made him uneasy, and he roared,
00:55:16I smiled and continued forward.
00:55:19Cedric, you'd better remember every word you said today.
00:55:23Cale will love hearing that.
00:55:27In the evening, Leah leaned out of the carriage window.
00:55:31Holding a silver hand warmer in her hands, she smiled sweetly.
00:55:34Sister, your hands are all red from the cold, aren't they?
00:55:38Would you like to warm them up?
00:55:40The next second, the hand warm slipped from her hand and slammed hard onto the back of my hand.
00:55:45Live coals spilled out, instantly blistering my skin.
00:55:49Mira screamed and lunged at me, pressing snow against my wound.
00:55:54You did this on purpose!
00:55:55Leah immediately snuggled into Cedric's arms.
00:55:58Your Highness, I didn't mean to.
00:56:00I've been so clumsy since I got pregnant.
00:56:02Cedric didn't even glance at my injury, only coldly warning.
00:56:05Elyria, don't look at Leah like that.
00:56:07If you upset her and harm the child, I'll kill you.
00:56:11I looked down at the bloodbusters on the back of my hand.
00:56:14Seven years ago, I pricked my finger on a rose thorn in the vain Manishin greenhouse,
00:56:18and barely bled a single drop.
00:56:21When Nain saw it, his whole body froze.
00:56:26That night, the gardener responsible for pruning the roses was so frightened that he knelt outside the door,
00:56:31because all the thorny roses in the estate had been uprooted overnight.
00:56:35Nain stood in the rain, his hands covered in blood, holding a bundle of broken rose branches in his arms.
00:56:42Mistress, anything that hurts you should not be allowed to remain.
00:56:48Now, Leah has injured my hand with a scalding hand warmer, and Cedric is threatening to kill me.
00:56:55I suddenly wondered whether he would cut off Leah's hand first, or tear Cedric's throat apart first.
00:57:04When we arrived at the Frostwolf camp, I was so cold that I could barely stand.
00:57:08Black wolf banners lined the mountain ridges, the wind thick with the smell of rust and blood.
00:57:14Werewolf sauriers surrounded us, like they were looking at cargo delivered to a slaughter block.
00:57:19Cedric adjusted his cloak, forcing himself to remain calm.
00:57:22Inform the Wolf King that Crown Prince Cedric requests an audience!
00:57:26Nobody paid him any attention.
00:57:28Just then, a one-eyed old general came out of the camp gate.
00:57:32He had been looking impatient, but he froze when he saw my face.
00:57:38You...
00:57:38His voice was trembling uncontrollably.
00:57:41I recognize him.
00:57:43Hall, seven years ago, when Cael wasn't yet the Wolf King, he and Cael were besieged by rebels in Snow
00:57:49Valley.
00:57:50I delivered food and medicine, pulling them back from the brink of death.
00:57:53Cedric impatiently blocked his view.
00:57:55What are you looking at?
00:57:57This is the bride I am offering to your Wolf King.
00:58:00Hall's face turned deathly pale instantly.
00:58:03He looked at my chains, my wounds, my bare feet, and his eyes were filled with nothing but fear.
00:58:10He's not afraid of me.
00:58:11He was afraid of how many people in the Frostwolf camp would die after Cael returned.
00:58:18The Wolf King is not in the camp.
00:58:20This remark visibly relieved Cedric and brought a smile to the other person's face.
00:58:26Marlow, the Frostwolf steward, emerged from the main tent in a lavish fur robe, his eyes greasy and cold.
00:58:34He circled me once.
00:58:35The King's bride, she is indeed beautiful.
00:58:40If the steward is willing to speak on Illyria's behalf to the Wolf King, she can be handed over to
00:58:45you to examine first.
00:58:47You're still her husband!
00:58:49She's just a sacrifice now.
00:58:51Marlow smiled and reached out to touch my face.
00:58:54I looked up.
00:58:55You'd better not touch me.
00:58:56He paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
00:58:58Human woman, do you know whose territory this is?
00:59:01I know.
00:59:01That's why I'm warning you.
00:59:03Marlon's face darkened.
00:59:04Hold her down.
00:59:05Several werewolves grabbed my shoulders, and Mira rushed over like a madwoman, only to be slapped to the ground in
00:59:12the snow.
00:59:12I heard her coughing up blood.
00:59:14At that moment, my smile vanished completely.
00:59:16Marlow ordered his men to drag Myra to the state.
00:59:19Since this maid likes protecting her mistress.
00:59:23The barbed wolf whip was lined with hooks, and it cut through the air with a sharp whistle.
00:59:27Don't make a scene.
00:59:28It'll affect the peace talks.
00:59:30Cedric stood to the side, his brow frellowed.
00:59:33Leah nestled in his arms and whispered,
00:59:36Your Highness, she is just a maid.
00:59:39Miss, don't worry about me!
00:59:41Mira was pressed down in the still crying out.
00:59:43Before the first lash fell, I broke free from the werewolf behind me and pounced on Mira.
00:59:47The barbs tore open my back.
00:59:49The pain exploded like fire, but I grint my teeth and didn't cry out.
00:59:53Miss!
00:59:54Marlon's eyes lit up with excitement.
00:59:56The king will prefer a bleeding bride.
00:59:59He reached out again to tear at my wedding dress.
01:00:01I stared at that hand and said softly,
01:00:03That hand is already forfeit.
01:00:06In the distance, the sound of horns suddenly tore through the wind and snow.
01:00:10All the werewolves turned around at the same time.
01:00:14The black wolf banner had returned to camp.
01:00:18The earth shook as dire wolf riders charged into the camp through the wind and snow.
01:00:22The man at the front was clad in black armor, his silver hair stained red with blood,
01:00:26and he dragged the broken flag of the enemy leader in his hand.
01:00:29All the werewolves knelt.
01:00:31All hail the wolf king!
01:00:34Cedric's legs buckled, and he almost knelt down.
01:00:36Marlo hurriedly released me and prostrated himself in the snow.
01:00:39My king, the Aurarian bride has been delivered.
01:00:41I was just inspecting her for you.
01:00:42Kale did not listen to the rest.
01:00:44He dismounted from the giant vault and coldly swept his gaze across the camp.
01:00:48That face was sharper, colder, and more like the monster from the rumors than it had been seven years ago.
01:00:52I helped Myra stand up, blood dripping from my back onto the snow.
01:00:56When Cedric saw that I still dared to raise my head, he hissed angrily.
01:01:02Kneel down! Do you want to get us killed?
01:01:04I ignored him.
01:01:05I looked at Kale's back and softly said,
01:01:07The moment those two words were uttered, the entire Frostwolf camp seemed to freeze.
01:01:12Cedric stared at me in horror.
01:01:14Are you insane? How dare you call the wolf king by his old name?
