00:00:30Cedric turned to look at me.

00:00:31Ellaria, the Frostwolf King demands a bride for a truce.

00:00:34Leah is carrying my child. She cannot go to her death.

00:00:45I looked up at him.

00:00:47So you're giving me to the Wolf King rumored to tear humans apart?

00:00:50Leah leaned into his arms, shedding fake tears.

00:00:53Dear sister, don't blame his highness. It's all for the kingdom. I laughed.

00:00:58What are you laughing at?

00:01:01Looking at the northern wind and snow, I whispered.

00:01:06I'm laughing because you delivered me back to him with your own hands.

00:01:11No one knew that Cael, the Wolf King feared across the continent,

00:01:15had been only a wolf cub I rescued from the underground fighting pit seven years ago.

00:01:23He wasn't called Cael back then. I named him Nayan. He once knelt at my feet and swore.

00:01:30Mistress, anyone who hurts you even a little will pay with an entire kingdom.

00:01:37Before the wedding carriage started moving, Cedric bent down to adjust my veil.

00:01:42To outsiders, he seemed like a devoted husband.

00:01:45Only I heard him whisper in my ear,

00:01:47Don't blame me. You're too smart, Ellaria.

00:01:51I looked at him.

00:01:53Afraid I'll stand in your way.

00:01:56House Vang's gold mines, ports, and knightly order should all belong to the royal family.

00:02:01Once you die in the north, everything will naturally be mine.

00:02:04So this is the truth behind the sacrifice.

00:02:06It isn't a truce. It was greed, murder, and making room for his lover and his ambition.

00:02:12Leah came over, supporting her belly, and deliberately brushed her fingertips across my face.

00:02:17Don't worry, dear sister. I'll take care of his highness for you.

00:02:20My gaze swept over her belly.

00:02:23Are you sure the thing in your belly can really protect you?

00:02:26Her face stiffened.

00:02:30Cedric grabbed my chin hard.

00:02:32Still trying to turn us against each other?

00:02:35When you get to the north, you'll be begging the Wolf King for a quick death.

00:02:39I did not struggle, because I suddenly remembered seven years ago.

00:02:42The only son of the Duke of Silverport, emboldened by his family's power,

00:02:47lingered at the gaze on me a banquet, and even said with smile,

00:02:51A beauty like Lady Vane should be locked up in my manor.

00:02:55That night, Nayan disappeared.

00:02:57The next morning, he knelt outside my door, covered in blood,

00:03:01holding the sapphire ring that belonged to the Duke of Silverport.

00:03:05Next to the ring, there was a pair of blood-stained eyeballs.

00:03:08He bowed his head, his voice respectful to the point of reverence.

00:03:13Mistress, he will never see you again.

00:03:15So at that moment, when Cedric was pinching my chin, I actually laughed.

00:03:19When Kale sees these wounds, I'm probably not the first person to ask for a quick death.

00:03:24Three days later, the wedding carriage stopped at the border of Frostwolf Realm.

00:03:29Black-armored werewolf riders surrounded the convoy.

00:03:31General Graves, riding a dire wolf, coldly ordered.

00:03:35The offering gets out.

00:03:37Of course.

00:03:39My maid, Mila, blocked the carriage door.

00:03:42The crown princess is ill! She cannot walk through the snow!

00:03:45Cedric kicked her away.

00:03:51He grabbed my chains and dragged me out of the carriage.

00:03:55My knees slammed into ice, and blood immediately seeped out.

00:04:00The surrounding werewolves laughed.

00:04:03Graves used his riding cup to lift my veil.

00:04:06So this is Alaria's famed beauty.

00:04:09The human royal family is truly willing to part with her.

00:04:12As long as the Wolf King is satisfied, do with her as you please.

00:04:16I looked up at him.

00:04:18I will repeat every word of that to Kale.

00:04:21He laughed as if he had heard a joke.

00:04:24You think the Wolf King will listen to you?

00:04:28I pushed myself up from the snow.

00:04:31He'll listen on his knees.

00:04:33As soon as I finished speaking, the entire clearing fell silent for a moment,

00:04:37then erupted into even more jarring laughter.

00:04:40Only an old werewolf in the distance went plail and stared hard at my face.

00:04:45The snow fell heavier and heavier.

00:04:48I walked barefoot through the icy mud,

00:04:50each step feeling like a knife cutting into the soles of my feet.

00:04:54Mira, dragging her injured leg, helped me up.

00:04:57Her lips were purple from the cold.

00:04:59In the warmer carriage behind, Leah Ternley said in a soft voice,

00:05:03Your Highnessness, I'm cold.

00:05:07Cedric Elliotly lifted the carriage curtain

00:05:09and looked at the white fox cloak on my shoulder.

00:05:13Bring it here.

00:05:16No! She'll freeze to death!

00:05:18The guard drew his sword to strike her,

00:05:19but I raised a hand to stop him,

00:05:21took off the cloak, and tossed it over.

00:05:24Give it to her.

00:05:27Leah took the cloak,

00:05:29but wrinkled her nose in disgust.

00:05:32It's stained with blood! How disgusting!

00:05:34Cedric smiled and casually tossed the cloak out of the carriage.

00:05:38The wolf rider's giant claws stomped on it,

00:05:41and the pure white fox fur instantly turned into mud.

00:05:44The crown princess of Averia can't even keep a cloak.

00:05:48When the wolf king is done with her,

00:05:50giving her to us wouldn't be bad.

00:05:52Cedric did not stop them,

00:05:54but instead said,

00:05:56It is her honor to serve the frost wolf warriors.

00:06:00I stopped and looked back at him.

00:06:03My stare made him uneasy, and he roared,

00:06:06Move!

00:06:07I smiled and continued forward.

00:06:09Cedric,

00:06:10you'd better remember every word you said today.

00:06:13Kale will love hearing that.

00:06:17In the evening,

00:06:19Leah leaned out of the carriage window.

00:06:21Holding a silver hand warmer in her hands,

00:06:23she smiled sweetly.

00:06:25Sister,

00:06:26your hands are all red from the cold,

00:06:28aren't they?

00:06:29Would you like to warm them up?

00:06:30The next second,

00:06:31the hand warm slipped from her hand

00:06:33and slammed hard onto the back of my hand.

00:06:35Live coals spilled out,

00:06:37instantly blistering my skin.

00:06:39Mira screamed and lunged at me,

00:06:41pressing snow against my wound.

00:06:44You did this on purpose!

00:06:46Leah immediately snuggled into Cedric's arms.

00:06:48Your highness,

00:06:49I didn't mean to.

00:06:50I've been so clumsy since I got pregnant.

00:06:52Cedric didn't even glance at my injury,

00:06:54only coldly warning,

00:06:55Elyria,

00:06:56don't look at Leah like that.

00:06:58If you upset her and harm the child,

00:07:00I'll kill you.

00:07:01I looked down at the bloodbusters

00:07:03on the back of my hand.

00:07:04Seven years ago,

00:07:05I pricked my finger on a rose thorn

00:07:07in the vain Manishin greenhouse

00:07:09and barely bled a single drop.

00:07:11When Nayan saw it,

00:07:13his whole body froze.

00:07:16That night,

00:07:17the gardener responsible for pruning the roses

00:07:19was so frightened

00:07:20that he knelt outside the door

00:07:21because all the thorny roses in the estate

00:07:23had been uprooted overnight.

00:07:26Nayan stood in the rain,

00:07:28his hands covered in blood,

00:07:30holding a bundle of broken rose branches

00:07:32in his arms.

00:07:33Mistress,

00:07:34anything that hurts you

00:07:35should not be allowed to remain.

00:07:38Now,

00:07:40Leah has injured my hand

00:07:41with a scalding hand warmer

00:07:43and Cedric is threatening to kill me.

00:07:46I suddenly wondered

00:07:47whether he would cut off Leah's hand first

00:07:50or tear Cedric's throat apart first.

00:07:54When we arrived at the Frostwolf camp,

00:07:56I was so cold that I could barely stand.

00:07:59Black wolf banners lined the mountain ridges,

00:08:01the wind thick with the smell of rust and blood.

00:08:04Werewolf sauriers surrounded us

00:08:06like they were looking at cargo

00:08:07delivered to a slaughter block.

00:08:09Cedric adjusted his cloak,

00:08:11forcing himself to remain calm.

00:08:13Inform the wolf king

00:08:14that Crown Prince Cedric requests an audience.

00:08:16Nobody paid him any attention.

00:08:18Just then,

00:08:19a one-eyed old general

00:08:20came out of the camp gate.

00:08:22He had been looking impatient,

00:08:24but he froze when he saw my face.

00:08:28You.

00:08:29His voice was trembling uncontrollably.

00:08:31I recognize him.

00:08:34Paul,

00:08:34seven years ago

00:08:35when Cale wasn't yet the wolf king,

00:08:37he and Cale were besieged

00:08:38by rebels in Snow Valley.

00:08:40I delivered food and medicine,

00:08:42pulling them back from the brink of death.

00:08:44Cedric impatiently blocked his view.

00:08:45What are you looking at?

00:08:47This is the bride I am offering

00:08:49to your wolf king.

00:08:51Hall's face turned deathly pale instantly.

00:08:53He looked at my chains,

00:08:55my wounds,

00:08:56my bare feet,

00:08:57and his eyes were filled

00:08:58with nothing but fear.

00:09:00He's not afraid of me.

00:09:02He was afraid of how many people

00:09:03in the Frostwolf camp

00:09:04would die after Cale returned.

00:09:08The wolf king is not in the camp.

00:09:11This remark visibly relieved Cedric

00:09:13and brought a smile

00:09:14to the other person's face.

00:09:16Marlow,

00:09:17the Frostwolf steward,

00:09:18emerged from the main tent

00:09:20in a lavish fur robe,

00:09:21his eyes greasy and cold.

00:09:24He circled me once.

00:09:26The king's bride,

00:09:28she is indeed beautiful.

00:09:30If the steward is willing to speak

00:09:32on Illyria's behalf

00:09:33to the wolf king,

00:09:34she can be handed over to you

00:09:36to examine first.

00:09:37You're still her husband!

00:09:40She's just a sacrifice now.

00:09:41Marlow smiled and reached out

00:09:43to touch my face.

00:09:44I looked up.

00:09:45You'd better not touch me.

00:09:46He paused for a moment,

00:09:47then burst into laughter.

00:09:49Human woman,

00:09:50do you know whose territory this is?

00:09:51I know.

00:09:52That's why I'm warning you.

00:09:53Marlon's face darkened.

00:09:54Hold her down.

00:09:56Several werewolves grabbed my shoulders,

00:09:58and Mira rushed over

00:09:59like a madwoman,

00:10:00only to be slapped

00:10:01to the ground in the snow.

00:10:02I heard her coughing up blood.

00:10:04At that moment,

00:10:05my smile vanished completely.

00:10:07Marlow ordered his men

00:10:08to drag Myra to the state.

00:10:09Since this maid

00:10:11likes protecting her mistress.

00:10:13The barbed wolf whip

00:10:14was lined with hooks,

00:10:15and it cut through the air

00:10:16with a sharp whistle.

00:10:18Don't make a scene.

00:10:19It'll affect the peace talks.

00:10:21Cedric stood to the side,

00:10:22his brow frellowed.

00:10:24Leah nestled in his arms

00:10:25and whispered,

00:10:26Your Highness,

00:10:27she is just a maid.

00:10:30Miss, don't worry about me!

00:10:31Mira was pressed down

00:10:32in the still crying out.

00:10:33Before the first lash fell,

00:10:35I broke free from the werewolf

00:10:36behind me

00:10:36and pounced on Mira.

00:10:38The barbs tore open my back.

00:10:40The pain exploded like fire,

00:10:41but I grint my teeth

00:10:42and didn't cry out.

00:10:43Miss!

00:10:44Marlom's eyes lit up

00:10:45with excitement.

00:10:46The king will prefer

00:10:48a bleeding bride.

00:10:49He reached out again

00:10:50to tear at my wedding dress.

00:10:52I stared at that hand

00:10:53and said softly,

00:10:54That hand is already forfeit.

00:10:56In the distance,

00:10:57the sound of horns

00:10:58suddenly tore

00:10:59through the wind and snow.

00:11:01All the werewolves

00:11:02turned around at the same time.

00:11:04The black wolf banner

00:11:05had returned to camp.

00:11:08The earth shook

00:11:09as dire wolf riders

00:11:10charged into the camp

00:11:11through the wind and snow.

00:11:13The man at the front

00:11:13was clad in black armor,

00:11:15his silver hair

00:11:16stained red with blood,

00:11:17and he dragged

00:11:18the broken flag

00:11:18of the enemy leader

00:11:19in his hand.

00:11:20All the werewolves knelt.

00:11:22All hail the werewolves king!

00:11:24Cedric's legs buckled,

00:11:25and he almost knelt down.

00:11:26Marlowe hurriedly released me

00:11:28and prostrated himself

00:11:29in the snow.

00:11:29My king,

00:11:30the Aurarian bride

00:11:31has been delivered.

00:11:31I was just inspecting her for you.

00:11:33Kale did not listen to the rest.

00:11:35He dismounted from the giant vault

00:11:36and coldly swept his gaze

00:11:37across the camp.

00:11:38That face was sharper,

00:11:39colder,

00:11:40and more like the monster

00:11:41from the rumors

00:11:41than it had been seven years ago.

00:11:43I helped Myra stand up,

00:11:44blood dripping from my back

00:11:46onto the snow.

00:11:47When Cedric saw that I still

00:11:48dared to raise my head,

00:11:49he hissed angrily.

00:11:52Kneel down!

00:11:53Do you want to get us killed?

00:11:54I ignored him.

00:11:55I looked at Kale's back

00:11:56and softly said,

00:11:58Nan.

00:11:58The moment those two words

00:11:59were uttered,

00:12:00the entire Frostwolf camp

00:12:01seemed to freeze.

00:12:03Cedric stared at me in horror.

00:12:04Are you insane?

00:12:05How dare you call the wolf king

00:12:07by his old name?

00:12:23My husband was kissing

00:12:25his pregnant lover

00:12:26as he chained me

00:12:27to the sacrificial bridal carriage.

00:12:29The cold iron chains bound,

00:12:31my wrists tightly,

00:12:32and my wedding dress

00:12:34was soaked with snow and blood.

00:12:35In the royal capital square,

00:12:38every noble watched

00:12:39as I was pushed

00:12:39towards the north.

00:12:41Cedric turned to look at me.

00:12:43Ellaria,

00:12:43the Frostwolf king

00:12:44demands a bride for a truce.

00:12:46Leah is carrying my child.

00:12:47She cannot go to her death.

00:12:57I looked up at him.

00:12:58So you're giving me

00:12:59to the wolf king

00:13:00rumored to tear humans apart?

00:13:02Leah leaned into his arms,

00:13:03shedding fake tears.

00:13:05Dear sister,

00:13:06don't blame his highness.

00:13:07It's all for the kingdom.

00:13:09I laughed.

00:13:10What are you laughing at?

00:13:12Looking at the northern wind

00:13:13and snow,

00:13:14I whispered,

00:13:18I'm laughing

00:13:19because you delivered me

00:13:20back to him

00:13:20with your own hands.

00:13:22No one knew

00:13:23that Kale,

00:13:24the wolf king

00:13:24feared across the continent,

00:13:26had been only

00:13:27a wolf cub

00:13:28I rescued

00:13:29from the underground

00:13:29fighting pit

00:13:30seven years ago.

00:13:35He wasn't called

00:13:36Kale back then.

00:13:37I named him Nayen.

00:13:39He once knelt

00:13:40at my feet

00:13:40and swore,

00:13:41Mistress,

00:13:43anyone who hurts you

00:13:43even a little

00:13:44will pay

00:13:45with an entire kingdom.

00:13:49Before the wedding carriage

00:13:50started moving,

00:13:51Cedric bent down

00:13:52to adjust my veil.

00:13:53To outsiders,

00:13:54he seemed like

00:13:55a devoted husband.

00:13:56Only I heard him

00:13:57whisper in my ear,

00:13:58Don't blame me.

00:13:59You're too smart,

00:14:00Elaria.

00:14:02I looked at him,

00:14:04afraid I'll stand

00:14:05in your way.

00:14:08House Vang's

00:14:08gold mines,

00:14:09ports,

00:14:10and knightly order

00:14:10should all belong

00:14:11to the royal family.

00:14:12Once you die

00:14:13in the north,

00:14:14everything will

00:14:14naturally be mine.

00:14:16So this is the truth

00:14:17behind the sacrifice.

00:14:18It isn't a truce.

00:14:19It was greed,

00:14:20murder,

00:14:21and making room

00:14:21for his lover

00:14:22and his ambition.

00:14:23Leah came over,

00:14:24supporting her belly,

00:14:25and deliberately

00:14:26brushed her fingertips

00:14:27across my face.

00:14:28Don't worry,

00:14:29dear sister.

00:14:30I'll take care

00:14:30of his highness for you.

00:14:32My gaze swept

00:14:33over her belly.

00:14:34Are you sure

00:14:35the thing in your belly

00:14:36can really protect you?

00:14:38Her face stiffened.

00:14:42Cedric grabbed

00:14:42my chin hard.

00:14:43Still trying to turn

00:14:45us against each other?

00:14:47When you get to the north,

00:14:48you'll be begging

00:14:48the wolf king

00:14:49for a quick death.

00:14:50I did not struggle

00:14:51because I suddenly

00:14:52remembered seven years ago.

00:14:54The only son

00:14:55of the Duke of Silverport,

00:14:57emboldened by

00:14:57his family's power,

00:14:59lingered at the gaze

00:15:00on me a banquet

00:15:00and even said with smile,

00:15:02A beauty like Lady Vane

00:15:04should be locked up

00:15:04in my manor.

00:15:06That night,

00:15:07Nayan disappeared.

00:15:08The next morning,

00:15:09he knelt outside my door,

00:15:11covered in blood,

00:15:13holding the sapphire ring

00:15:14that belonged

00:15:15to the Duke of Silverport.

00:15:16Next to the ring,

00:15:17there was a pair

00:15:18of blood-stained eyeballs.

00:15:20He bowed his head,

00:15:21his voice respectful

00:15:22to the point of reverence.

00:15:24Mistress,

00:15:25he will never see you again.

00:15:27So at that moment,

00:15:28when Cedric was pinching

00:15:29my chin,

00:15:29I actually laughed.

00:15:30When Cael sees these wounds,

00:15:32I'm probably not the first person

00:15:33to ask for a quick death.

00:15:35Three days later,

00:15:37the wedding carriage

00:15:37stopped at the border

00:15:38of Frostwolf Realm.

00:15:40Black armored werewolf riders

00:15:41surrounded the convoy.

00:15:43General Graves,

00:15:44riding a dire wolf,

00:15:45coldly ordered.

00:15:46The offering gets out.

00:15:48Of course.

00:15:51My maid Mila

00:15:52blocked the carriage door.

00:15:53The crown princess is ill!

00:15:55She cannot walk through the snow!

00:15:56Cedric kicked her away.

00:16:03He grabbed my chains

00:16:04and dragged me out of the carriage.

00:16:07My knees slammed into ice

00:16:09and blood immediately seeped out.

00:16:11The surrounding werewolves laughed.

00:16:14Graves used his riding cup

00:16:15to lift my veil.

00:16:18So this is Alaria's famed beauty.

00:16:20The human royal family

00:16:21is truly willing to part with her.

00:16:23As long as the wolf king

00:16:24is satisfied,

00:16:25do with her as you please.

00:16:27I looked up at him.

00:16:29I will repeat every word

00:16:30of that to Kale.

00:16:32He laughed

00:16:33as if he had heard a joke.

00:16:36You think the wolf king

00:16:37will listen to you?

00:16:39I pushed myself up

00:16:41from the snow.

00:16:42He'll listen on his knees.

00:16:44As soon as I finished speaking,

00:16:46the entire clearing

00:16:47fell silent for a moment,

00:16:49then erupted

00:16:49into even more jarring laughter.

00:16:51Only an old werewolf

00:16:52in the distance

00:16:53went plail

00:16:54and stared hard at my face.

00:16:57The snow fell heavier

00:16:58and heavier.

00:16:59I walked barefoot

00:17:00through the icy mud,

00:17:02each step feeling like a knife

00:17:03cutting into the soles

00:17:04of my feet.

00:17:05Mira,

00:17:06dragging her injured leg,

00:17:08helped me up.

00:17:08Her lips were purple

00:17:10from the cold.

00:17:11In the warmer carriage behind,

00:17:12Leah Turenly said

00:17:13in a soft voice,

00:17:14Your Highnessness,

00:17:16I'm cold.

00:17:18Cedric

00:17:18elitly lifted

00:17:19the carriage curtain

00:17:20and looked at the

00:17:21white fox cloak

00:17:22on my shoulder.

00:17:25Bring it here.

00:17:27No!

00:17:28She'll freeze to death!

00:17:29The guard drew his sword

00:17:30to strike her,

00:17:31but I raised a hand

00:17:32to stop him,

00:17:33took off the cloak

00:17:33and tossed it over.

00:17:35Give it to her.

00:17:38Leah took the cloak

00:17:40but wrinkled her nose

00:17:41in disgust.

00:17:43It's stained with blood!

00:17:44How disgusting!

00:17:46Cedric smiled

00:17:47and casually tossed

00:17:48the cloak out

00:17:48of the carriage.

00:17:49The wolf rider's

00:17:50giant claws stomped on it

00:17:52and the pure

00:17:53white fox fur

00:17:54instantly turned

00:17:55into mud.

00:17:56The crown princess

00:17:57of Averia

00:17:58can't even keep

00:17:58a cloak.

00:17:59When the wolf king

00:18:00is done with her,

00:18:01giving her to us

00:18:02wouldn't be bad.

00:18:04Cedric did not

00:18:05stop them

00:18:05but instead said,

00:18:07It is her honor

00:18:09to serve

00:18:09the frost wolf warriors.

00:18:11I stopped

00:18:12and looked back

00:18:13at him.

00:18:14My stare

00:18:15made him uneasy

00:18:16and he roared,

00:18:17Move!

00:18:18I smiled

00:18:19and continued forward.

00:18:21Cedric,

00:18:21you'd better remember

00:18:22every word

00:18:23you said today.

00:18:25Kale will love

00:18:26hearing that.

00:18:29In the evening,

00:18:30Leah leaned out

00:18:31of the carriage window.

00:18:32Holding a silver

00:18:33hand warmer

00:18:34in her hands,

00:18:35she smiled sweetly.

00:18:36Sister,

00:18:37your hands are all

00:18:38red from the cold,

00:18:39aren't they?

00:18:40Would you like

00:18:41to warm them up?

00:18:41The next second,

00:18:42the hand warm slipped

00:18:43from her hand

00:18:44and slammed hard

00:18:45onto the back

00:18:45of my hand.

00:18:46Live coals spilled out,

00:18:48instantly blistering

00:18:49my skin.

00:18:50Mira screamed

00:18:51and lunged at me,

00:18:53pressing snow

00:18:53against my wound.

00:18:55You did this

00:18:56on purpose!

00:18:57Leah immediately

00:18:58snuggled into

00:18:59Cedric's arms.

00:19:00Your highness,

00:19:01I didn't mean to.

00:19:01I've been so clumsy

00:19:02since I got pregnant.

00:19:04Cedric didn't even

00:19:04glance at my injury,

00:19:06only coldly warning.

00:19:07Illyria,

00:19:07don't look at Leah

00:19:08like that.

00:19:09If you upset her

00:19:10and harm the child,

00:19:11I'll kill you.

00:19:12I looked down

00:19:13at the bloodbusters

00:19:14on the back of my hand.

00:19:15Seven years ago,

00:19:16I pricked my finger

00:19:18on a rose thorn

00:19:19in the vain

00:19:19Manisham greenhouse

00:19:20and barely bled

00:19:21a single drop.

00:19:23When Nain saw it,

00:19:24his whole body froze.

00:19:28That night,

00:19:28the gardener

00:19:29responsible for pruning

00:19:30the roses

00:19:30was so frightened

00:19:31that he knelt

00:19:32outside the door

00:19:33because all the thorny roses

00:19:34in the estate

00:19:35had been uprooted overnight.

00:19:37Nain stood in the rain,

00:19:39his hands covered in blood,

00:19:41holding a bundle

00:19:42of broken rose branches

00:19:43in his arms.

00:19:44Mistress,

00:19:45anything that hurts you

00:19:47should not be allowed

00:19:48to remain.

00:19:50Now,

00:19:51Leah has injured my hand

00:19:52with a scalding hand warmer

00:19:54and Cedric is threatening

00:19:56to kill me.

00:19:57I suddenly wondered

00:19:58whether he would cut off

00:19:59Leah's hand first

00:20:00or tear Cedric's throat

00:20:03apart first.

00:20:05When we arrived

00:20:06at the Frostwolf camp,

00:20:08I was so cold

00:20:09that I could barely stand.

00:20:10Black wolf banners

00:20:11lined the mountain ridges,

00:20:13the wind thick

00:20:13with the smell

00:20:14of rust and blood.

00:20:16Werewolf sauriers

00:20:17surrounded us

00:20:17like they were looking

00:20:18at cargo delivered

00:20:19to a slaughter block.

00:20:20Cedric adjusted his cloak,

00:20:22forcing himself

00:20:23to remain calm.

00:20:24Inform the Wolf King

00:20:25that Crown Prince Cedric

00:20:26requests an audience.

00:20:28Nobody paid him

00:20:29any attention.

00:20:29Just then,

00:20:30a one-eyed old general

00:20:32came out of the camp gate.

00:20:34He had been looking impatient,

00:20:35but he froze

00:20:36when he saw my face.

00:20:39You.

00:20:40His voice was trembling

00:20:41uncontrollably.

00:20:43I recognize him.

00:20:45Hall,

00:20:46seven years ago

00:20:46when Cale wasn't yet

00:20:47the Wolf King,

00:20:48he and Cale were besieged

00:20:50by rebels in Snow Valley.

00:20:51I delivered food

00:20:52and medicine,

00:20:53pulling them back

00:20:54from the brink of death.

00:20:55Cedric impatiently

00:20:56blocked his view.

00:20:57What are you looking at?

00:20:59This is the bride

00:21:00I am offering

00:21:00to your Wolf King.

00:21:02Hall's face turned

00:21:03deathly pale instantly.

00:21:04He looked at my chains,

00:21:06my wounds,

00:21:07my bare feet,

00:21:08and his eyes were filled

00:21:10with nothing but fear.

00:21:11He's not afraid of me.

00:21:13He was afraid of how many people

00:21:15in the Frost Wolf camp

00:21:16would die after Cale returned.

00:21:20The Wolf King is not in the camp.

00:21:22This remark visibly relieved Cedric

00:21:24and brought a smile

00:21:25to the other person's face.

00:21:28Marlow,

00:21:28the Frost Wolf steward,

00:21:30emerged from the main tent

00:21:31in a lavish fur robe,

00:21:33his eyes greasy and cold.

00:21:36He circled me once.

00:21:37The King's bride.

00:21:39She is indeed beautiful.

00:21:41If the steward

00:21:42is willing to speak

00:21:43on Illyria's behalf

00:21:45to the Wolf King,

00:21:46she can be handed over

00:21:47to you to examine first.

00:21:48You're still her husband!

00:21:51She's just a sacrifice now.

00:21:53Marlow smiled

00:21:54and reached out

00:21:54to touch my face.

00:21:56I looked up.

00:21:56You'd better not touch me.

00:21:58He paused for a moment,

00:21:59then burst into laughter.

00:22:00Human woman,

00:22:01do you know

00:22:01whose territory this is?

00:22:03I know.

00:22:03That's why I'm warning you.

00:22:04Marlin's face darkened.

00:22:06Hold her down.

00:22:07Several werewolves

00:22:08grabbed my shoulders

00:22:09and Meera rushed over

00:22:10like a madwoman,

00:22:11only to be slapped

00:22:13to the ground in the snow.

00:22:14I heard her coughing up blood.

00:22:16At that moment,

00:22:16my smile vanished completely.

00:22:18Marlow ordered his men

00:22:19to drag Myra to the state.

00:22:20Since this maid

00:22:22likes protecting her mistress.

00:22:24The barbed wolf whip

00:22:26was lined with hooks

00:22:27and it cut through the air

00:22:28with a sharp whistle.

00:22:29Don't make a scene.

00:22:30It'll affect the peace talks.

00:22:32Cedric stood to the side,

00:22:34his brow frellowed.

00:22:35Leah nestled in his arms

00:22:36and whispered,

00:22:37Your Highness.

00:22:39She is just a maid.

00:22:41Miss, don't worry about me!

00:22:42Meera was pressed down

00:22:43in the still crying out.

00:22:45Before the first lash fell,

00:22:46I broke free

00:22:47from the werewolf behind me

00:22:48and pounced on Meera.

00:22:49The barbs tore open my back.

00:22:51The pain exploded like fire,

00:22:53but I grint my teeth

00:22:53and didn't cry out.

00:22:55Miss!

00:22:56Marlin's eyes lit up

00:22:57with excitement.

00:22:58The king will prefer

00:22:59a bleeding bride.

00:23:00He reached out again

00:23:01to tear at my wedding dress.

00:23:03I stared at that hand

00:23:04and said softly,

00:23:05That hand is already forfeit.

00:23:08In the distance,

00:23:09the sound of horns

00:23:10suddenly tore

00:23:11through the wind and snow.

00:23:12All the werewolves

00:23:13turned around

00:23:14at the same time.

00:23:15The black wolf banner

00:23:17had returned to camp.

00:23:19The earth shook

00:23:20as dire wolf riders

00:23:21charged into the camp

00:23:23through the wind and snow.

00:23:24The man at the front

00:23:25was clad in black armor,

00:23:26his silver hair stained red

00:23:27with blood,

00:23:28and he dragged the broken flag

00:23:30of the enemy leader

00:23:30in his hand.

00:23:32All the werewolves knelt.

00:23:35Cedric's legs buckled

00:23:36and he almost knelt down.

00:23:38Marlo hurriedly released me

00:23:39and prostrated himself

00:23:40in the snow.

00:23:41My king,

00:23:41the Aurarian bride

00:23:42has been delivered.

00:23:43I was just inspecting her

00:23:44for you.

00:23:44Kale did not listen

00:23:45to the rest.

00:23:46He dismounted from the giant vault

00:23:47and coldly swept his gaze

00:23:49across the camp.

00:23:50That face was sharper,

00:23:51colder,

00:23:51and more like the monster

00:23:52from the rumors

00:23:53than it had been

00:23:53seven years ago.

00:23:54I helped Myra stand up,

00:23:56blood dripping from my back

00:23:57onto the snow.

00:23:58When Cedric saw that I still

00:24:00dared to raise my head,

00:24:01he hissed angrily.

00:24:03Kneel down!

00:24:04Do you want to get us killed?

00:24:05I ignored him.

00:24:07I looked at Kale's back

00:24:08and softly said,

00:24:09Nan.

00:24:10The moment those two words

00:24:11were uttered,

00:24:11the entire Frostwolf camp

00:24:13seemed to freeze.

00:24:14Cedric stared at me in horror.

00:24:16Are you insane?

00:24:17How dare you call

00:24:17the Wolf King

00:24:18by his old name?

00:24:29My husband was kissing

00:24:31his pregnant lover

00:24:32as he chained me

00:24:33to the sacrificial bridal carriage.

00:24:36The cold iron chains bound

00:24:37my wrists tightly

00:24:39and my wedding dress

00:24:40was soaked with snow and blood.

00:24:42In the royal capital square,

00:24:44every noble watched

00:24:45as I was pushed

00:24:46towards the north.

00:24:47Cedric turned to look at me.

00:24:49Ellaria,

00:24:50the Frostwolf king

00:24:50demands a bride for a truce.

00:24:52Leah is carrying my child.

00:24:53She cannot go to her death.

00:25:03I looked up at him.

00:25:05So you're giving me

00:25:06to the Wolf King

00:25:06rumored to tear humans apart?

00:25:08Leah leaned into his arms,

00:25:10shedding fake tears.

00:25:11Dear sister,

00:25:12don't blame his highness.

00:25:14It's all for the kingdom.

00:25:15I laughed.

00:25:16What are you laughing at?

00:25:18Looking at the northern wind

00:25:20and snow,

00:25:21I whispered,

00:25:24I'm laughing because

00:25:25you delivered me back

00:25:26to him with your own hands.

00:25:28No one knew that Kael,

00:25:30the Wolf King

00:25:31feared across the continent,

00:25:32had been only a wolf cub

00:25:34I rescued from the underground

00:25:36fighting pit seven years ago.

00:25:41He wasn't called Kael back then.

00:25:44I named him Nayen.

00:25:45He once knelt at my feet

00:25:47and swore,

00:25:48Mistress,

00:25:49anyone who hurts you

00:25:50even a little

00:25:50will pay with an entire kingdom.

00:25:55Before the wedding carriage

00:25:56started moving,

00:25:58Cedric bent down

00:25:58to adjust my veil.

00:26:00To outsiders,

00:26:00he seemed like a devoted husband.

00:26:03Only I heard him whisper in my ear,

00:26:05Don't blame me.

00:26:06You're too smart,

00:26:07Martellaria.

00:26:08I looked at him,

00:26:11afraid I'll stand in your way.

00:26:14House Vang's gold mines,

00:26:16ports,

00:26:16and knightly order

00:26:17should all belong

00:26:17to the royal family.

00:26:19Once you die in the north,

00:26:20everything will naturally be mine.

00:26:22So this is the truth

00:26:23behind the sacrifice.

00:26:24It isn't a truce.

00:26:25It was greed,

00:26:26murder,

00:26:27and making room

00:26:28for his lover

00:26:28and his ambition.

00:26:29Leah came over,

00:26:30supporting her belly,

00:26:32and deliberately brushed

00:26:33her fingertips

00:26:33across my face.

00:26:35Don't worry, dear sister.

00:26:36I'll take care

00:26:37of his highness for you.

00:26:38My gaze swept

00:26:39over her belly.

00:26:41Are you sure

00:26:42the thing in your belly

00:26:43can really protect you?

00:26:44Her face stiffened.

00:26:48Cedric grabbed my chin hard.

00:26:50Still trying to turn us

00:26:51against each other?

00:26:53When you get to the north,

00:26:54you'll be begging

00:26:55the Wolf King

00:26:55for a quick death.

00:26:57I did not struggle,

00:26:57because I suddenly remembered

00:26:59seven years ago.

00:27:00The only son

00:27:01of the Duke of Silverport,

00:27:03emboldened by his family's power,

00:27:05lingered at the gaze

00:27:06on me a banquet

00:27:07and even said with smile,

00:27:09A beauty like Lady Vane

00:27:10should be locked up

00:27:11in my manor.

00:27:12That night,

00:27:13Nayan disappeared.

00:27:14The next morning,

00:27:16he knelt outside my door,

00:27:18covered in blood,

00:27:19holding the sapphire ring

00:27:20that belonged

00:27:21to the Duke of Silverport.

00:27:23Next to the ring,

00:27:24there was a pair

00:27:24of blood-stained eyeballs.

00:27:26He bowed his head,

00:27:27his voice respectful

00:27:29to the point of reverence.

00:27:30Mistress,

00:27:31he will never see you again.

00:27:33So at that moment

00:27:34when Cedric was pinching my chin,

00:27:36I actually laughed.

00:27:37When Kale sees these wounds,

00:27:38I'm probably not the first person

00:27:39to ask for a quick death.

00:27:42Three days later,

00:27:43the wedding carriage

00:27:44stopped at the border

00:27:45of Frostwolf Realm.

00:27:46Black armored werewolf riders

00:27:48surrounded the convoy.

00:27:49General Graves,

00:27:50riding a dire wolf,

00:27:51coldly ordered.

00:27:53The offering gets out.

00:27:55Of course.

00:27:57My maid Mila

00:27:58blocked the carriage door.

00:28:00The crown princess is ill!

00:28:01She cannot walk through the snow!

00:28:03Cedric kicked her away.

00:28:09He grabbed my chains

00:28:10and dragged me out of the carriage.

00:28:13My knees slammed into ice

00:28:15and blood immediately seeped out.

00:28:18The surrounding werewolves laughed.

00:28:20Graves used his riding cup

00:28:22to lift my veil.

00:28:24So this is Alaria's famed beauty.

00:28:27The human royal family

00:28:28is truly willing to part with her.

00:28:29As long as the Wolf King

00:28:31is satisfied,

00:28:32do with her as you please.

00:28:33I looked up at him.

00:28:36I will repeat every word

00:28:37of that to Kale.

00:28:39He laughed

00:28:39as if he had heard a joke.

00:28:42You think the Wolf King

00:28:43will listen to you?

00:28:46I pushed myself up

00:28:47from the snow.

00:28:49He'll listen on his knees.

00:28:51As soon as I finish speaking,

00:28:52the entire clearing

00:28:54fell silent for a moment,

00:28:55then erupted into

00:28:56even more jarring laughter.

00:28:58Only an old werewolf

00:28:59in the distance

00:28:59went plale

00:29:00and stared hard at my face.

00:29:03The snow fell heavier and heavier.

00:29:06I walked barefoot

00:29:07through the icy mud,

00:29:08each step feeling like a knife

00:29:10cutting into the soles of my feet.

00:29:12Mira,

00:29:12dragging her injured leg,

00:29:14helped me up.

00:29:15Her lips were purple

00:29:16from the cold.

00:29:17In the warmer carriage behind,

00:29:19Leah Turenly said

00:29:20in a soft voice,

00:29:21Your Highnessness,

00:29:22I'm cold.

00:29:24Cedric

00:29:25Elliotly lifted

00:29:26the carriage curtain

00:29:27and looked at the

00:29:27white fox cloak

00:29:28on my shoulder.

00:29:31Bring it here.

00:29:34No!

00:29:34She'll freeze to death!

00:29:35The guard drew his sword

00:29:36to strike her,

00:29:37but I raised a hand

00:29:38to stop him,

00:29:39took off the cloak,

00:29:40and tossed it over.

00:29:41Give it to her.

00:29:44Leah took the cloak,

00:29:46but wrinkled her nose

00:29:48in disgust.

00:29:49It's stained with blood,

00:29:51how disgusting!

00:29:52Cedric smiled

00:29:53and casually tossed

00:29:54the cloak out of the carriage.

00:29:56The wolf rider's

00:29:57giant claws stomped on it,

00:29:58and the pure white fox fur

00:30:00instantly turned into mud.

00:30:02The crown princess of Averia

00:30:04can't even keep a cloak.

00:30:06When the wolf king

00:30:07is done with her,

00:30:08giving her to us

00:30:08wouldn't be bad.

00:30:10Cedric did not stop them,

00:30:12but instead said,

00:30:13It is her honor

00:30:15to serve the

00:30:16Frostwolf warriors.

00:30:18I stopped

00:30:18and looked back at him.

00:30:21My stare made him uneasy,

00:30:22and he roared,

00:30:23Move!

00:30:24I smiled

00:30:25and continued forward.

00:30:27Cedric,

00:30:28you'd better remember

00:30:29every word you said today.

00:30:31Kale will love

00:30:32hearing that.

00:30:35In the evening,

00:30:37Leah leaned out

00:30:38of the carriage window.

00:30:39Holding a silver

00:30:40hand warmer

00:30:40in her hands,

00:30:41she smiled sweetly.

00:30:42Sister,

00:30:43your hands are all

00:30:44red from the cold,

00:30:46aren't they?

00:30:46Would you like

00:30:47to warm them up?

00:30:48The next second,

00:30:49the hand warm

00:30:49slipped from her hand

00:30:50and slammed hard

00:30:51onto the back of my hand.

00:30:53Live coals spilled out,

00:30:55instantly blistering my skin.

00:30:57Mira screamed

00:30:58and lunged at me,

00:30:59pressing snow

00:31:00against my wound.

00:31:02You did this on purpose!

00:31:04Leah immediately

00:31:04snuggled into Cedric's arms.

00:31:06Your Highness,

00:31:07I didn't mean to.

00:31:08I've been so clumsy

00:31:09since I got pregnant.

00:31:10Cedric didn't even

00:31:11glance at my injury.

00:31:12Only coldly warning,

00:31:13Elyria,

00:31:14don't look at Leah

00:31:14like that.

00:31:15If you upset her

00:31:16and harm the child,

00:31:18I'll kill you.

00:31:19I looked down

00:31:19at the bloodbusters

00:31:20on the back of my hand.

00:31:22Seven years ago,

00:31:23I pricked my finger

00:31:24on a rose thorn

00:31:25in the vain

00:31:25Manishin greenhouse

00:31:26and barely bled

00:31:28a single drop.

00:31:29When Nayan saw it,

00:31:31his whole body froze.

00:31:34That night,

00:31:35the gardener responsible

00:31:36for pruning the roses

00:31:37was so frightened

00:31:38that he knelt

00:31:38outside the door

00:31:39because all the thorny roses

00:31:40in the estate

00:31:41had been uprooted overnight.

00:31:44Nayan stood in the rain,

00:31:45his hands covered in blood,

00:31:47holding a bundle

00:31:48of broken rose branches

00:31:49in his arms.

00:31:50Mistress,

00:31:51anything that hurts you

00:31:53should not be allowed

00:31:55to remain.

00:31:56Now,

00:31:57Leah has injured my hand

00:31:59with a scalding hand warmer

00:32:00and Cedric is threatening

00:32:02to kill me.

00:32:03I suddenly wondered

00:32:04whether he would cut off

00:32:05Leah's hand first

00:32:07or tear Cedric's throat

00:32:09apart first.

00:32:12When we arrived

00:32:13at the Frostwolf camp,

00:32:14I was so cold

00:32:15that I could barely stand.

00:32:16Black wolf banners

00:32:17lined the mountain ridges,

00:32:19the wind thick

00:32:20with the smell of rust

00:32:21and blood.

00:32:22Werewolf sauriers

00:32:23surrounded us

00:32:24like they were looking

00:32:25at cargo delivered

00:32:25to a slaughter block.

00:32:27Cedric adjusted his cloak,

00:32:28forcing himself

00:32:29to remain calm

00:32:30inform the Wolf King

00:32:31that Crown Prince Cedric

00:32:33requests an audience.

00:32:34Nobody paid him

00:32:35any attention.

00:32:36Just then,

00:32:37a one-eyed old general

00:32:38came out of the camp gate.

00:32:40He had been looking impatient,

00:32:42but he froze

00:32:43when he saw my face.

00:32:45You.

00:32:46His voice was trembling

00:32:48uncontrollably.

00:32:49I recognize him.

00:32:51Paul,

00:32:52seven years ago

00:32:53when Kale wasn't yet

00:32:54the Wolf King,

00:32:55he and Kale were besieged

00:32:56by rebels in Snow Valley.

00:32:58I delivered food

00:32:59and medicine,

00:32:59pulling them back

00:33:00from the brink of death.

00:33:01Cedric impatiently

00:33:02blocked his view.

00:33:04What are you looking at?

00:33:05This is the bride

00:33:06I am offering

00:33:07to your Wolf King.

00:33:08Paul's face

00:33:09turned deathly pale

00:33:10instantly.

00:33:11He looked at my chains,

00:33:12my wounds,

00:33:13my bare feet,

00:33:15and his eyes

00:33:16were filled

00:33:16with nothing but fear.

00:33:18He's not afraid of me.

00:33:19He was afraid

00:33:20of how many people

00:33:21in the Frost Wolf camp

00:33:22would die

00:33:23after Kale returned.

00:33:26The Wolf King

00:33:27is not in the camp.

00:33:28This remark

00:33:29visibly relieved Cedric

00:33:31and brought a smile

00:33:32to the other person's face.

00:33:34Marlow,

00:33:35the Frost Wolf steward,

00:33:36emerged from the main tent

00:33:37in a lavish fur robe,

00:33:39his eyes greasy and cold.

00:33:42He circled me once.

00:33:44The King's bride,

00:33:46she is indeed beautiful.

00:33:48If the steward

00:33:49is willing to speak

00:33:50on Illyria's behalf

00:33:51to the Wolf King,

00:33:52she can be handed over

00:33:53to you to examine first.

00:33:55You're still her husband!

00:33:58She's just a sacrifice now.

00:33:59Marlow smiled

00:34:00and reached out

00:34:01to touch my face.

00:34:02I looked up.

00:34:03You'd better not touch me.

00:34:04He paused for a moment,

00:34:05then burst into laughter.

00:34:07Human woman,

00:34:07do you know

00:34:08whose territory this is?

00:34:09I know.

00:34:10That's why I'm warning you.

00:34:11Marlin's face darkened.

00:34:12Hold her down.

00:34:13Several werewolves

00:34:14grabbed my shoulders

00:34:15and Mira rushed over

00:34:17like a madwoman,

00:34:18only to be slapped

00:34:19to the ground in the snow.

00:34:20I heard her coughing up blood.

00:34:22At that moment,

00:34:23my smile vanished completely.

00:34:24Marlow ordered his men

00:34:25to drag Myra to the state.

00:34:27Since this maid

00:34:28likes protecting her mistress.

00:34:31The barbed wolf whip

00:34:32was lined with hooks

00:34:33and it cut through the air

00:34:34with a sharp whistle.

00:34:35Don't make a scene.

00:34:36It'll affect the peace talks.

00:34:38Cedric stood to the side,

00:34:40his brow frellowed.

00:34:41Leah nestled in his arms

00:34:43and whispered,

00:34:44Your Highness,

00:34:45she is just a maid.

00:34:47Miss, don't worry about me!

00:34:49Mira was pressed down

00:34:50in the still crying out

00:34:51before the first lash fell.

00:34:52I broke free from the werewolf

00:34:54behind me

00:34:54and pounced on Mira.

00:34:55The barbs tore open my back.

00:34:57The pain exploded like fire,

00:34:59but I grint my teeth

00:35:00and didn't cry out.

00:35:01Miss!

00:35:02Marlin's eyes lit up

00:35:03with excitement.

00:35:04The king will prefer

00:35:05a bleeding bride.

00:35:07He reached out again

00:35:08to tear at my wedding dress.

00:35:09I stared at that hand

00:35:10and said softly,

00:35:11That hand is already forfeit.

00:35:14In the distance,

00:35:15the sound of horns

00:35:16suddenly tore

00:35:17through the wind and snow.

00:35:18All the werewolves

00:35:20turned around

00:35:20at the same time.

00:35:22The black wolf banner

00:35:23had returned to camp.

00:35:26The earth shook

00:35:27as direwolf riders

00:35:28charged into the camp

00:35:29through the wind and snow.

00:35:30The man at the front

00:35:31was clad in black armor,

00:35:32his silver hair

00:35:33stained red with blood,

00:35:34and he dragged

00:35:35the broken flag

00:35:36of the enemy leader

00:35:37in his hand.

00:35:38All the werewolves knelt.

00:35:39All hail the wolf king!

00:35:42Cedric's legs buckled

00:35:43and he almost knelt down.

00:35:44Marlo hurriedly released me

00:35:45and prostrated himself

00:35:46in the snow.

00:35:47My king,

00:35:48the Aurarian Bride

00:35:48has been delivered.

00:35:49I was just inspecting her for you.

00:35:51Kale did not listen to the rest.

00:35:52He dismounted from the giant vault

00:35:54and coldly swept his gaze

00:35:55across the camp.

00:35:56That face was sharper,

00:35:57colder,

00:35:57and more like the monster

00:35:58from the rumors

00:35:59than it had been seven years ago.

00:36:00I helped Myra stand up,

00:36:02blood dripping from my back

00:36:03onto the snow.

00:36:04When Cedric saw that I still

00:36:06dared to raise my head,

00:36:07he hissed angrily,

00:36:10Kneel down!

00:36:11Do you want to get us killed?

00:36:12I ignored him.

00:36:13I looked at Kale's back

00:36:14and softly said,

00:36:15Nan,

00:36:16The moment those two words

00:36:17were uttered,

00:36:18the entire Frostwolf camp

00:36:19seemed to freeze.

00:36:20Cedric stared at me in horror.

00:36:22Are you insane?

00:36:23How dare you call the Wolf King

00:36:24by his old name?

00:36:35My husband was kissing

00:36:37his pregnant lover

00:36:38as he chained me

00:36:39to the sacrificial bridal carriage.

00:36:42The cold iron chains bound

00:36:44my wrists tightly

00:36:45and my wedding dress

00:36:46was soaked with snow and blood.

00:36:48In the royal capital square,

00:36:50every noble watched

00:36:51as I was pushed

00:36:52towards the north.

00:36:53Cedric turned

00:36:54to look at me.

00:36:55Ellaria,

00:36:56the Frostwolf King

00:36:57demands a bride

00:36:57for a truce.

00:36:58Leah is carrying my child.

00:37:00She cannot go to her death.

00:37:09I looked up at him.

00:37:11So you're giving me

00:37:12to the Wolf King

00:37:13rumored to tear humans apart?

00:37:14Leah leaned into his arms,

00:37:16shedding fake tears.

00:37:17Dear sister,

00:37:19don't blame his highness.

00:37:20It's all for the kingdom.

00:37:22I laughed.

00:37:23What are you laughing at?

00:37:25Looking at the northern wind

00:37:26and snow,

00:37:27I whispered,

00:37:30I'm laughing because

00:37:32you delivered me back

00:37:33to him with your own hands.

00:37:35No one knew that Kale,

00:37:36the Wolf King

00:37:37feared across the continent,

00:37:39had been only a wolf cub

00:37:40I rescued from the underground

00:37:42fighting pit seven years ago.

00:37:48He wasn't called Kale back then.

00:37:50I named him Nayen.

00:37:52He once knelt at my feet

00:37:53and swore,

00:37:54Mistress,

00:37:55anyone who hurts you

00:37:56even a little

00:37:57will pay with an entire kingdom.

00:38:01Before the wedding carriage

00:38:03started moving,

00:38:04Cedric bent down

00:38:05to adjust my veil.

00:38:06To outsiders,

00:38:07he seemed like

00:38:07a devoted husband.

00:38:09Only I heard him

00:38:10whisper in my ear,

00:38:11Don't blame me.

00:38:12You're too smart,

00:38:13Ellaria.

00:38:15I looked at him,

00:38:17afraid I'll stand

00:38:18in your way.

00:38:20House Vang's gold mines,

00:38:22ports,

00:38:22and knightly order

00:38:23should all belong

00:38:24to the royal family.

00:38:25Once you die in the north,

00:38:26everything will naturally

00:38:28be mine.

00:38:28So this is the truth

00:38:29behind the sacrifice.

00:38:30It isn't a truce.

00:38:32It was greed,

00:38:33murder,

00:38:33and making room

00:38:34for his lover

00:38:35and his ambition.

00:38:36Leah came over,

00:38:37supporting her belly,

00:38:38and deliberately brushed

00:38:39her fingertips

00:38:40across my face.

00:38:41Don't worry,

00:38:42dear sister.

00:38:42I'll take care

00:38:43of his highness

00:38:44for you.

00:38:44My gaze swept

00:38:45over her belly.

00:38:47Are you sure

00:38:48the thing in your belly

00:38:49can really protect you?

00:38:50Her face stiffened.

00:38:54Cedric grabbed

00:38:55my chin hard.

00:38:56Still trying to turn us

00:38:57against each other?

00:38:59When you get to the north,

00:39:01you'll be begging

00:39:01the Wolf King

00:39:02for a quick death.

00:39:03I did not struggle

00:39:04because I suddenly

00:39:05remembered seven years ago.

00:39:06The only son

00:39:08of the Duke of Silverport,

00:39:09emboldened by his family's power,

00:39:12lingered at the gaze

00:39:12on me a banquet

00:39:13and even said with smile,

00:39:15A beauty like Lady Vane

00:39:16should be locked up

00:39:17in my manor.

00:39:19That night,

00:39:20Nayen disappeared.

00:39:21The next morning,

00:39:22he knelt outside my door,

00:39:24covered in blood,

00:39:25holding the sapphire ring

00:39:27that belonged

00:39:27to the Duke of Silverport.

00:39:29Next to the ring,

00:39:30there was a pair

00:39:31of blood-stained eyeballs.

00:39:32He bowed his head,

00:39:34his voice respectful

00:39:35to the point of reverence.

00:39:36Mistress,

00:39:38he will never see you again.

00:39:40So at that moment,

00:39:40when Cedric was pinching my chin,

00:39:42I actually laughed.

00:39:43When Cael sees these wounds,

00:39:44I'm probably not the first person

00:39:46to ask for a quick death.

00:39:48Three days later,

00:39:49the wedding carriage

00:39:50stopped at the border

00:39:51of Frostwolf Realm.

00:39:53Black-armored werewolf riders

00:39:54surrounded the convoy.

00:39:56General Graves,

00:39:57riding a dire wolf,

00:39:58coldly ordered.

00:39:59The offering gets out.

00:40:01Of course.

00:40:03My maid Mila

00:40:05blocked the carriage door.

00:40:06The crown princess is ill.

00:40:08She cannot walk through the snow.

00:40:09Cedric kicked her away.

00:40:15He grabbed my chains

00:40:17and dragged me out of the carriage.

00:40:19My knees slammed into ice

00:40:21and blood immediately seeped out.

00:40:24The surrounding werewolves laughed.

00:40:27Graves used his riding cup

00:40:28to lift my veil.

00:40:30So this is Alaria's famed beauty.

00:40:33The human royal family

00:40:34is truly willing to part with her.

00:40:36As long as the Wolf King

00:40:37is satisfied,

00:40:38do with her as you please.

00:40:40I looked up at him.

00:40:42I will repeat every word

00:40:43of that to Cael.

00:40:45He laughed as if he had heard a joke.

00:40:48You think the Wolf King

00:40:50will listen to you?

00:40:52I pushed myself up from the snow.

00:40:55He'll listen on his knees.

00:40:57As soon as I finished speaking,

00:40:59the entire clearing fell silent for a moment,

00:41:01then erupted into even more jarring laughter.

00:41:04Only an old werewolf in the distance

00:41:06went plail and stared hard at my face.

00:41:09The snow fell heavier and heavier.

00:41:12I walked barefoot through the icy mud,

00:41:14each step feeling like a knife

00:41:16cutting into the soles of my feet.

00:41:18Mira, dragging her injured leg,

00:41:20helped me up.

00:41:21Her lips were purple from the cold.

00:41:23In the warmer carriage behind,

00:41:25Leah Ternley said in a soft voice,

00:41:27Your Highnessness, I'm cold.

00:41:31Cedric eliatly lifted the carriage curtain

00:41:33and looked at the white fox cloak on my shoulder.

00:41:37Bring it here.

00:41:40No! She'll freeze to death!

00:41:42The guard drew his sword to strike her,

00:41:43but I raised a hand to stop him,

00:41:45took off the cloak,

00:41:46and tossed it over.

00:41:48Give it to her.

00:41:51Leah took the cloak,

00:41:53but wrinkled her nose in disgust.

00:41:56It's stained with blood! How disgusting!

00:41:58Cedric smiled and casually tossed the cloak

00:42:01out of the carriage.

00:42:02The wolf rider's giant claws stomped on it,

00:42:05and the pure white fox fur

00:42:06instantly turned into mud.

00:42:08The crown princess of Averia

00:42:10can't even keep a cloak.

00:42:12When the wolf king is done with her,

00:42:14giving her to us wouldn't be bad.

00:42:16Cedric did not stop them,

00:42:18but instead said,

00:42:20It is her honor to serve

00:42:22the frost wolf warriors.

00:42:24I stopped and looked back at him.

00:42:27My stare made him uneasy,

00:42:29and he roared,

00:42:30Move!

00:42:31I smiled and continued forward.

00:42:33Cedric,

00:42:34you'd better remember every word you said today.

00:42:37Kale will love hearing that.

00:42:41In the evening,

00:42:43Leah leaned out of the carriage window.

00:42:45Holding a silver hand warmer in her hands,

00:42:47she smiled sweetly.

00:42:49Sister,

00:42:50your hands are all red from the cold,

00:42:52aren't they?

00:42:53Would you like to warm them up?

00:42:54The next second,

00:42:55the hand warm slipped from her hand

00:42:57and slammed hard onto the back of my hand.

00:42:59Live coals spilled out,

00:43:01instantly blistering my skin.

00:43:03Mira screamed and lunged at me,

00:43:05pressing snow against my wound.

00:43:08You did this on purpose!

00:43:10Leah immediately snuggled into Cedric's arms.

00:43:12Your Highness,

00:43:13I didn't mean to.

00:43:14I've been so clumsy since I got pregnant.

00:43:16Cedric didn't even glance at my injury,

00:43:18only coldly warning,

00:43:19Illyria,

00:43:20don't look at Leah like that.

00:43:22If you upset her and harm the child,

00:43:24I'll kill you.

00:43:25I looked down at the bloodbusters

00:43:27on the back of my hand.

00:43:28Seven years ago,

00:43:29I pricked my finger on a rose thorn

00:43:31in the vain Manisham greenhouse

00:43:33and barely bled a single drop.

00:43:35When Nayan saw it,

00:43:37his whole body froze.

00:43:40That night,

00:43:41the gardener responsible for pruning the roses

00:43:43was so frightened

00:43:44that he knelt outside the door

00:43:45because all the thorny roses in the estate

00:43:47had been uprooted overnight.

00:43:50Nayan stood in the rain,

00:43:52his hands covered in blood,

00:43:53holding a bundle of broken rose branches

00:43:56in his arms.

00:43:57Mistress,

00:43:58anything that hurts you

00:43:59should not be allowed to remain.

00:44:02Now,

00:44:04Leah has injured my hand

00:44:05with a scalding hand warmer

00:44:07and Cedric is threatening to kill me.

00:44:10I suddenly wondered

00:44:11whether he would cut off Leah's hand first

00:44:14or tear Cedric's throat apart first.

00:44:18When we arrived at the Frostwolf camp,

00:44:20I was so cold that I could barely stand.

00:44:23Black wolf banners lined the mountain ridges,

00:44:25the wind thick with the smell of rust and blood.

00:44:28Werewolf sauriers surrounded us

00:44:30like they were looking at cargo

00:44:31delivered to a slaughter block.

00:44:33Cedric adjusted his cloak,

00:44:35forcing himself to remain calm.

00:44:37Inform the Wolf King

00:44:38that Crown Prince Cedric requests an audience.

00:44:40Nobody paid him any attention.

00:44:42Just then,

00:44:43a one-eyed old general

00:44:44came out of the camp gate.

00:44:46He had been looking impatient,

00:44:48but he froze when he saw my face.

00:44:52You.

00:44:53His voice was trembling uncontrollably.

00:44:55I recognize him.

00:44:57Paul,

00:44:58seven years ago

00:44:59when Cale wasn't yet the Wolf King,

00:45:01he and Cale were besieged

00:45:02by rebels in Snow Valley.

00:45:04I delivered food and medicine,

00:45:06pulling them back from the brink of death.

00:45:08Cedric impatiently blocked his view.

00:45:10What are you looking at?

00:45:11This is the bride

00:45:12I am offering to your Wolf King.

00:45:14Hall's face turned deathly pale instantly.

00:45:17He looked at my chains,

00:45:19my wounds,

00:45:20my bare feet,

00:45:21and his eyes were filled

00:45:22with nothing but fear.

00:45:24He's not afraid of me.

00:45:26He was afraid of how many people

00:45:27in the Frost Wolf camp

00:45:28would die after Cale returned.

00:45:32The Wolf King is not in the camp.

00:45:35This remark visibly relieved Cedric

00:45:37and brought a smile

00:45:38to the other person's face.

00:45:40Marlow,

00:45:41the Frost Wolf Steward,

00:45:42emerged from the main tent

00:45:44in a lavish fur robe,

00:45:45his eyes greasy and cold.

00:45:48He circled me once.

00:45:50The King's bride.

00:45:52She is indeed beautiful.

00:45:54If the Steward is willing

00:45:55to speak on Illyria's behalf

00:45:57to the Wolf King,

00:45:58she can be handed over

00:46:00to you to examine first.

00:46:01You're still her husband!

00:46:04She's just a sacrifice now.

00:46:06Marlow smiled and reached out

00:46:07to touch my face.

00:46:08I looked up.

00:46:09You'd better not touch me.

00:46:10He paused for a moment,

00:46:11then burst into laughter.

00:46:13Human woman,

00:46:14do you know whose territory this is?

00:46:15I know.

00:46:16That's why I'm warning you.

00:46:17Marlin's face darkened.

00:46:18Hold her down.

00:46:20Several werewolves

00:46:21grabbed my shoulders,

00:46:22and Mira rushed over

00:46:23like a madwoman,

00:46:24only to be slapped

00:46:25to the ground in the snow.

00:46:27I heard her coughing up blood.

00:46:28At that moment,

00:46:29my smile vanished completely.

00:46:31Marlow ordered his men

00:46:32to drag Myra to the state.

00:46:33Since this maid

00:46:35likes protecting her mistress.

00:46:37The barbed Wolf Whip

00:46:38was lined with hooks,

00:46:39and it cut through the air

00:46:40with a sharp whistle.

00:46:42Don't make a scene.

00:46:43It'll affect the peace talks.

00:46:45Cedric stood to the side,

00:46:46his brow frellowed.

00:46:48Leah nestled in his arms

00:46:49and whispered,

00:46:50Your Highness,

00:46:51she is just a maid.

00:46:54Miss, don't worry about me!

00:46:55Mira was pressed down

00:46:56in the still crying out.

00:46:57Before the first lash fell,

00:46:58I broke free

00:46:59from the werewolf behind me

00:47:00and pounced on Mira.

00:47:02The barbs tore open my back.

00:47:03The pain exploded like fire,

00:47:05but I grint my teeth

00:47:06and didn't cry out.

00:47:07Miss!

00:47:08Marlum's eyes lit up

00:47:09with excitement.

00:47:10The king will prefer

00:47:12a bleeding bride.

00:47:13He reached out again

00:47:14to tear at my wedding dress.

00:47:16I stared at that hand

00:47:17and said softly,

00:47:18That hand is already forfeit.

00:47:20In the distance,

00:47:21the sound of horns

00:47:22suddenly tore

00:47:23through the wind and snow.

00:47:25All the werewolves

00:47:26turned around

00:47:27at the same time.

00:47:28The black wolf banner

00:47:29had returned to camp.

00:47:32The earth shook

00:47:33as direwolf riders

00:47:34charged into the camp

00:47:35through the wind and snow.

00:47:37The man at the front

00:47:37was clad in black armor,

00:47:39his silver hair

00:47:40stained red with blood,

00:47:41and he dragged

00:47:42the broken flag

00:47:42of the enemy leader

00:47:43in his hand.

00:47:44All the werewolves knelt.

00:47:46All hail the wolf king!

00:47:48Cedric's legs buckled

00:47:49and he almost knelt down.

00:47:51Marlum hurriedly released me

00:47:52and prostrated himself

00:47:53in the snow.

00:47:53My king,

00:47:54the Aurarian bride

00:47:55has been delivered.

00:47:55I was just inspecting her

00:47:56for you.

00:47:57Cale did not listen

00:47:58to the rest.

00:47:59He dismounted

00:47:59from the giant vault

00:48:00and coldly swept

00:48:01his gaze across the camp.

00:48:02That face was sharper,

00:48:03colder,

00:48:04and more like the monster

00:48:05from the rumors

00:48:05than it had been

00:48:06seven years ago.

00:48:07I helped Myra stand up,

00:48:08blood dripping from my back

00:48:10onto the snow.

00:48:11When Cedric saw

00:48:12that I still dared

00:48:12to raise my head,

00:48:14he hissed angrily.

00:48:16Kneel down!

00:48:17Do you want to get us killed?

00:48:18I ignored him.

00:48:19I looked at Cale's back

00:48:20and softly said,

00:48:22Nan.

00:48:22The moment those two words

00:48:23were uttered,

00:48:24the entire Frostwolf camp

00:48:25seemed to freeze.

00:48:27Cedric stared at me

00:48:28in horror.

00:48:28Are you insane?

00:48:29How dare you call

00:48:30the wolf king

00:48:31by his old name?

00:48:42My husband was kissing

00:48:44his pregnant lover

00:48:45as he chained me

00:48:46to the sacrificial

00:48:47bridal carriage.

00:48:48The cold iron chains

00:48:50bound my wrists tightly

00:48:51and my wedding dress

00:48:53was soaked

00:48:53with snow and blood.

00:48:54In the royal capital square,

00:48:56every noble watched

00:48:58as I was pushed

00:48:58towards the north.

00:49:00Cedric turned

00:49:01to look at me.

00:49:02Ellaria,

00:49:02the Frostwolf king

00:49:03demands a bride

00:49:04for a truce.

00:49:05Leah is carrying my child.

00:49:06She cannot go to her death.

00:49:16I looked up at him.

00:49:17So you're giving me

00:49:18to the wolf king

00:49:19rumored to tear humans apart?

00:49:21Leah leaned into his arms,

00:49:22shedding fake tears.

00:49:24Dear sister,

00:49:25don't blame his highness.

00:49:27It's all for the kingdom.

00:49:28I laughed.

00:49:29What are you laughing at?

00:49:31looking at the northern wind

00:49:32and snow,

00:49:33I whispered,

00:49:37I'm laughing because

00:49:38you delivered me back

00:49:39to him with your own hands.

00:49:41No one knew that Kale,

00:49:43the wolf king

00:49:43feared across the continent,

00:49:45had been only a wolf cub

00:49:47I rescued from the underground

00:49:48fighting pit

00:49:49seven years ago.

00:49:54He wasn't called Kale

00:49:55back then.

00:49:56I named him Nayen.

00:49:58He once knelt

00:49:59at my feet

00:49:59and swore,

00:50:01Mistress,

00:50:01anyone who hurts you

00:50:02even a little

00:50:03will pay with an entire kingdom.

00:50:08Before the wedding carriage

00:50:09started moving,

00:50:10Cedric bent down

00:50:11to adjust my veil.

00:50:12To outsiders,

00:50:13he seemed like

00:50:14a devoted husband.

00:50:15Only I heard him

00:50:16whisper in my ear,

00:50:17Don't blame me.

00:50:18You're too smart, Elaria.

00:50:21I looked at him,

00:50:23afraid I'll stand

00:50:24in your way.

00:50:27House Vang's gold mines,

00:50:28ports,

00:50:29and knightly order

00:50:29should all belong

00:50:30to the royal family.

00:50:31Once you die in the north,

00:50:33everything will naturally

00:50:34be mine.

00:50:35So this is the truth

00:50:36behind the sacrifice.

00:50:37It isn't a truce.

00:50:38It was greed,

00:50:39murder,

00:50:40and making room

00:50:40for his lover

00:50:41and his ambition.

00:50:42Leah came over,

00:50:43supporting her belly,

00:50:44and deliberately

00:50:45brushed her fingertips

00:50:46across my face.

00:50:47Don't worry, dear sister.

00:50:49I'll take care

00:50:49of his highness for you.

00:50:51My gaze swept

00:50:51over her belly.

00:50:53Are you sure

00:50:54the thing in your belly

00:50:55can really protect you?

00:50:57Her face stiffened.

00:51:01Cedric grabbed

00:51:01my chin hard.

00:51:03Still trying to turn us

00:51:04against each other?

00:51:06When you get to the north,

00:51:07you'll be begging

00:51:07the Wolf King

00:51:08for a quick death.

00:51:09I did not struggle

00:51:10because I suddenly

00:51:11remembered seven years ago.

00:51:13The only son

00:51:14of the Duke of Silverport,

00:51:15emboldened by his family's power,

00:51:18lingered at the gaze

00:51:19on me a banquet

00:51:19and even said with smile,

00:51:21A beauty like Lady Vane

00:51:23should be locked up

00:51:23in my manor.

00:51:25That night,

00:51:26Nayin disappeared.

00:51:27The next morning,

00:51:28he knelt outside my door,

00:51:30covered in blood,

00:51:32holding the sapphire ring

00:51:33that belonged

00:51:34to the Duke of Silverport.

00:51:35Next to the ring,

00:51:36there was a pair

00:51:37of blood-stained eyeballs.

00:51:39He bowed his head,

00:51:40his voice respectful

00:51:41to the point of reverence.

00:51:43Mistress,

00:51:44he will never see you again.

00:51:46So at that moment,

00:51:47when Cedric was pinching my chin,

00:51:48I actually laughed.

00:51:49When Kale sees these wounds,

00:51:51I'm probably not the first person

00:51:52to ask for a quick death.

00:51:54Three days later,

00:51:56the wedding carriage

00:51:56stopped at the border

00:51:57of Frostwolf realm.

00:51:59Black-armored werewolf riders

00:52:00surrounded the convoy.

00:52:02General Graves,

00:52:03riding a dire wolf,

00:52:04coldly ordered.

00:52:05The offering gets out.

00:52:08Of course.

00:52:10My maid, Mila,

00:52:11blocked the carriage door.

00:52:12The crown princess is ill!

00:52:14She cannot walk through the snow!

00:52:15Cedric kicked her away.

00:52:22He grabbed my chains

00:52:23and dragged me out of the carriage.

00:52:26My knees slammed into ice,

00:52:28and blood immediately seeped out.

00:52:30The surrounding werewolves laughed.

00:52:33Graves used his riding cup

00:52:34to lift my veil.

00:52:37So this is Alaria's famed beauty.

00:52:39The human royal family

00:52:40is truly willing to part with her.

00:52:42As long as the Wolf King is satisfied,

00:52:44do with her as you please.

00:52:46I looked up at him.

00:52:48I will repeat every word of that to Kale.

00:52:51He laughed as if he had heard a joke.

00:52:55You think the Wolf King

00:52:56will listen to you?

00:52:58I pushed myself up from the snow.

00:53:01He'll listen on his knees.

00:53:03As soon as I finished speaking,

00:53:05the entire clearing fell silent for a moment,

00:53:08then erupted into even more jarring laughter.

00:53:10Only an old werewolf in the distance

00:53:12went plail and stared hard at my face.

00:53:16The snow fell heavier and heavier.

00:53:18I walked barefoot through the icy mud,

00:53:21each step feeling like a knife

00:53:22cutting into the soles of my feet.

00:53:24Mira, dragging her injured leg,

00:53:27helped me up.

00:53:27Her lips were purple from the cold.

00:53:30In the warmer carriage behind,

00:53:31Leah Ternley said in a soft voice,

00:53:33Your Highnessness, I'm cold.

00:53:37Cedric eliatly lifted the carriage curtain

00:53:39and looked at the white fox cloak on my shoulder.

00:53:44Bring it here.

00:53:46No! She'll freeze to death!

00:53:48The guard drew his sword to strike her,

00:53:50but I raised a hand to stop him,

00:53:52took off the cloak,

00:53:52and tossed it over.

00:53:54Give it to her.

00:53:57Leah took the cloak,

00:53:59but wrinkled her nose in disgust.

00:54:02It's stained with blood!

00:54:03How disgusting!

00:54:05Cedric smiled and casually tossed the cloak

00:54:07out of the carriage.

00:54:08The wolf rider's giant claws stomped on it,

00:54:11and the pure white fox fur

00:54:13instantly turned into mud.

00:54:15The crown princess of Averia

00:54:17can't even keep a cloak.

00:54:18When the wolf king is done with her,

00:54:20giving her to us wouldn't be bad.

00:54:23Cedric did not stop them,

00:54:24but instead said,

00:54:27It is her honor to serve the Frostwolf warriors.

00:54:30I stopped and looked back at him.

00:54:33My stare made him uneasy,

00:54:35and he roared,

00:54:36Move!

00:54:37I smiled and continued forward.

00:54:39Cedric,

00:54:40you'd better remember every word you said today.

00:54:44Kale will love hearing that.

00:54:48In the evening,

00:54:49Leah leaned out of the carriage window.

00:54:51Holding a silver hand warmer in her hands,

00:54:54she smiled sweetly.

00:54:55Sister,

00:54:56your hands are all red from the cold,

00:54:58aren't they?

00:54:59Would you like to warm them up?

00:55:00The next second,

00:55:01the hand warm slipped from her hand

00:55:03and slammed hard onto the back of my hand.

00:55:05Live coals spilled out,

00:55:07instantly blistering my skin.

00:55:09Mira screamed and lunged at me,

00:55:12pressing snow against my wound.

00:55:14You did this on purpose!

00:55:16Leah immediately snuggled into Cedric's arms.

00:55:19Your Highness,

00:55:20I didn't mean to.

00:55:21I've been so clumsy since I got pregnant.

00:55:23Cedric didn't even glance at my injury,

00:55:25only coldly warning,

00:55:26Illyria,

00:55:26don't look at Leah like that.

00:55:28If you upset her and harm the child,

00:55:30I'll kill you.

00:55:31I looked down at the bloodbusters on the back of my hand.

00:55:34Seven years ago,

00:55:35I pricked my finger on a rose thorn

00:55:38in the vain Manisham greenhouse

00:55:39and barely bled a single drop.

00:55:42When Nayan saw it,

00:55:43his whole body froze.

00:55:47That night,

00:55:47the gardener responsible for pruning the roses

00:55:49was so frightened

00:55:50that he knelt outside the door

00:55:52because all the thorny roses in the estate

00:55:54had been uprooted overnight.

00:55:56Nayan stood in the rain,

00:55:58his hands covered in blood,

00:56:00holding a bundle of broken rose branches

00:56:02in his arms.

00:56:03Mistress,

00:56:04anything that hurts you

00:56:06should not be allowed to remain.

00:56:09Now,

00:56:10Leah has injured my hand

00:56:11with a scalding hand warmer,

00:56:13and Cedric is threatening to kill me.

00:56:16I suddenly wondered

00:56:17whether he would cut off Leah's hand first,

00:56:20or tear Cedric's throat apart first.

00:56:24When we arrived at the Frostwolf camp,

00:56:27I was so cold that I could barely stand.

00:56:29Black wolf banners lined the mountain ridges,

00:56:32the wind thick with the smell of rust and blood.

00:56:35Werewolf sauriers surrounded us,

00:56:36like they were looking at cargo

00:56:38delivered to a slaughter block.

00:56:39Cedric adjusted his cloak,

00:56:41forcing himself to remain calm.

00:56:43Inform the Wolf King

00:56:44that Crown Prince Cedric requests an audience!

00:56:47Nobody paid him any attention.

00:56:48Just then,

00:56:49a one-eyed old general

00:56:51came out of the camp gate.

00:56:53He had been looking impatient,

00:56:54but he froze when he saw my face.

00:56:58You.

00:56:59His voice was trembling uncontrollably.

00:57:02I recognize him.

00:57:04Paul,

00:57:05seven years ago,

00:57:06when Kale wasn't yet the Wolf King,

00:57:07he and Kale were besieged

00:57:09by rebels in Snow Valley.

00:57:10I delivered food and medicine,

00:57:12pulling them back from the brink of death.

00:57:14Cedric impatiently blocked his view.

00:57:16What are you looking at?

00:57:18This is the bride I am offering to your Wolf King.

00:57:21Paul's face turned deathly pale instantly.

00:57:23He looked at my chains,

00:57:25my wounds,

00:57:26my bare feet,

00:57:27and his eyes were filled with nothing but fear.

00:57:30He's not afraid of me.

00:57:32He was afraid of how many people

00:57:34in the Frostwolf camp would die after Kale returned.

00:57:39The Wolf King is not in the camp.

00:57:41This remark visibly relieved Cedric

00:57:43and brought a smile to the other person's face.

00:57:46Marlow,

00:57:47the Frostwolf steward,

00:57:49emerged from the main tent in a lavish fur robe,

00:57:52his eyes greasy and cold.

00:57:55He circled me once.

00:57:56The king's bride.

00:57:58She is indeed beautiful.

00:58:00If the steward is willing to speak

00:58:02on Illyria's behalf to the Wolf King,

00:58:05she can be handed over to you to examine first.

00:58:07You're still her husband!

00:58:10She's just a sacrifice now.

00:58:12Marlow smiled and reached out to touch my face.

00:58:15I looked up.

00:58:15You'd better not touch me.

00:58:17He paused for a moment,

00:58:18then burst into laughter.

00:58:19Human woman,

00:58:20do you know whose territory this is?

00:58:22I know.

00:58:22That's why I'm warning you.

00:58:23Marlon's face darkened.

00:58:25Hold her down.

00:58:26Several werewolves grabbed my shoulders,

00:58:28and Mira rushed over like a madwoman,

00:58:30only to be slapped to the ground in the snow.

00:58:33I heard her coughing up blood.

00:58:35At that moment,

00:58:35my smile vanished completely.

00:58:37Marlow ordered his men to drag Myra to the state.

00:58:39Since this maid

00:58:40likes protecting her mistress.

00:58:43The barbed wolf whip was lined with hooks,

00:58:46and it cut through the air with a sharp whistle.

00:58:48Don't make a scene.

00:58:49It'll affect the peace talks.

00:58:51Cedric stood to the side,

00:58:53his brow frellowed.

00:58:54Leah nestled in his arms and whispered,

00:58:57Your Highness,

00:58:58she is just a maid.

00:59:00Miss, don't worry about me!

00:59:01Mira was pressed down in the still crying out.

00:59:03Before the first lash fell,

00:59:05I broke free from the werewolf behind me

00:59:07and pounced on Mira.

00:59:08The barbs tore open my back.

00:59:10The pain exploded like fire,

00:59:12but I grint my teeth and didn't cry out.

00:59:14Miss!

00:59:15Marlon's eyes lit up with excitement.

00:59:17The king will prefer a bleeding bride.

00:59:19He reached out again to tear at my wedding dress.

00:59:22I stared at that hand and said softly,

00:59:24That hand is already forfeit.

00:59:26In the distance,

00:59:28the sound of horns suddenly tore through the wind and snow.

00:59:31All the werewolves turned around at the same time.

00:59:34The black wolf banner had returned to camp.

00:59:38The earth shook as direwolf riders charged into the camp

00:59:42through the wind and snow.

00:59:43The man at the front was clad in black armor,

00:59:45his silver hair stained red with blood,

00:59:47and he dragged the broken flag of the enemy leader in his hand.

00:59:50All the werewolves knelt.

00:59:52All hail the wolf king!

00:59:54Cedric's legs buckled,

00:59:55and he almost knelt down.

00:59:57Marlon hurriedly released me

00:59:58and prostrated himself in the snow.

00:59:59My king,

01:00:00the Aurarian Bride has been delivered.

01:00:02I was just inspecting her for you.

01:00:03Kale did not listen to the rest.

01:00:05He dismounted from the giant vault

01:00:06and coldly swept his gaze across the camp.

01:00:09That face was sharper,

01:00:10colder,

01:00:10and more like the monster from the rumors

01:00:12than it had been seven years ago.

01:00:13I helped Myra stand up,

01:00:15blood dripping from my back onto the snow.

01:00:17When Cedric saw that I still dared to raise my head,

01:00:20he hissed angrily,

01:00:22Kneel down!

01:00:23Do you want to get us killed?

01:00:24I ignored him.

01:00:26I looked at Kale's back and softly said,

01:00:28Nayan,

01:00:28The moment those two words were uttered,

01:00:30the entire Frostwolf camp seemed to freeze.

01:00:33Cedric stared at me in horror.

01:00:35Are you insane?

01:00:36How dare you call the wolf king by his old name?

01:00:48My husband was kissing his pregnant lover

01:00:51as he chained me

01:00:52to the sacrificial bridal carriage.

01:00:54The cold iron chains bound my wrists tightly,

01:00:58and my wedding dress was soaked with snow and blood.

01:01:01In the royal capital square,

01:01:03every noble watched as I was pushed towards the north.

01:01:06Cedric turned to look at me.

01:01:08Ellaria,

01:01:08the Frostwolf king demands a bride for a truce.

01:01:11Leah is carrying my child.

01:01:12She cannot go to her death.

01:01:22I looked up at him.

01:01:24So you're giving me to the wolf king rumored to tear humans apart?

01:01:27Leah leaned into his arms, shedding fake tears.

01:01:30Dear sister,

01:01:31don't blame his highness.

01:01:33It's all for the kingdom.

01:01:34I laughed.

01:01:35What are you laughing at?

01:01:37Looking at the northern wind and snow,

01:01:40I whispered,

01:01:43I'm laughing because you delivered me back to him with your own hands.

01:01:47No one knew that Kale,

01:01:49the wolf king feared across the continent,

01:01:51had been only a wolf cub I rescued

01:01:54from the underground fighting pit seven years ago.

01:02:00He wasn't called Kale back then.

01:02:03I named him Nayen.

01:02:04He once knelt at my feet and swore,

01:02:07Mistress,

01:02:08anyone who hurts you even a little

01:02:09will pay with an entire kingdom.

01:02:14Before the wedding carriage started moving,

01:02:17Cedric bent down to adjust my veil.

01:02:19To outsiders,

01:02:19he seemed like a devoted husband.

01:02:22Only I heard him whisper in my ear,

01:02:24Don't blame me.

01:02:25You're too smart, Ellaria.

01:02:27I looked at him,

01:02:30afraid I'll stand in your way.

01:02:33House Vang's gold mines,

01:02:35ports and knightly order

01:02:36should all belong to the royal family.

01:02:38Once you die in the north,

01:02:39everything will naturally be mine.

01:02:41So this is the truth behind the sacrifice.

01:02:43It isn't a truce.

01:02:44It was greed,

01:02:45murder and making room for his lover and his ambition.

01:02:48Leah came over,

01:02:49supporting her belly

01:02:50and deliberately brushed her fingertips across my face.

01:02:54Don't worry, dear sister.

01:02:55I'll take care of his highness for you.

01:02:57My gaze swept over her belly.

01:03:00Are you sure the thing in your belly can really protect you?

01:03:03Her face stiffened.

01:03:07Cedric grabbed my chin hard.

01:03:09Still trying to turn us against each other?

01:03:12When you get to the north,

01:03:13you'll be begging the wolf king for a quick death.

01:03:15I did not struggle

01:03:16because I suddenly remembered seven years ago.

01:03:19The only son of the Duke of Silverport,

01:03:22emboldened by his family's power,

01:03:24lingered at the gaze on me a banquet

01:03:26and even said with smile,

01:03:28A beauty like Lady Vane should be locked up in my manor.

01:03:31That night,

01:03:32Nayan disappeared.

01:03:33The next morning,

01:03:35he knelt outside my door,

01:03:37covered in blood,

01:03:38holding the sapphire ring that

01:03:40belonged to the Duke of Silverport.

01:03:42Next to the ring,

01:03:43there was a pair of blood-stained eyeballs.

01:03:45He bowed his head,

01:03:47his voice respectful to the point of reverence.

01:03:49Mistress,

01:03:50he will never see you again.

01:03:52So at that moment,

01:03:53when Cedric was pinching my chin,

01:03:55I actually laughed.

01:03:56When Cael sees these wounds,

01:03:57I'm probably not the first person to ask for a quick death.

01:04:01Three days later,

01:04:02the wedding carriage stopped at the border of Frostwolf Realm.

01:04:05Black armored werewolf riders surrounded the convoy.

01:04:08General Graves, riding a dire wolf, coldly ordered,

01:04:12The offering gets out.

01:04:14Of course.

01:04:16My maid Mila blocked the carriage door.

01:04:19The crown princess is ill.

01:04:20She cannot walk through the snow.

01:04:22Cedric kicked her away.

01:04:28He grabbed my chains and dragged me out of the carriage.

01:04:32My knees slammed into ice,

01:04:34and blood immediately seeped out.

01:04:37The surrounding werewolves laughed.

01:04:39Graves used his riding cup to lift my veil.

01:04:43So this is Alaria's famed beauty.

01:04:45The human royal family is truly willing to part with her.

01:04:48As long as the Wolf King is satisfied,

01:04:51do with her as you please.

01:04:52I looked up at him.

01:04:55I will repeat every word of that to Cael.

01:04:58He laughed as if he had heard a joke.

01:05:01You think the Wolf King will listen to you?

01:05:05I pushed myself up from the snow.

01:05:08He'll listen on his knees.

01:05:10As soon as I finished speaking,

01:05:12the entire clearing fell silent for a moment,

01:05:14then erupted into even more jarring laughter.

01:05:17Only an old werewolf in the distance went plail

01:05:19and stared hard at my face.

01:05:22The snow fell heavier and heavier.

01:05:25I walked barefoot through the icy mud,

01:05:27each step feeling like a knife cutting into the soles of my feet.

01:05:31Mira, dragging her injured leg,

01:05:33helped me up.

01:05:34Her lips were purple from the cold.

01:05:36In the warmer carriage behind,

01:05:38Leah Ternley said in a soft voice,

01:05:40Your Highnessness, I'm cold.

01:05:43Cedric eliatly lifted the carriage curtain

01:05:46and looked at the white fox cloak on my shoulder.

01:05:50Bring it here.

01:05:53No! She'll freeze to death!

01:05:54The guard drew his sword to strike her,

01:05:56but I raised a hand to stop him,

01:05:58took off the cloak,

01:05:59and tossed it over.

01:06:00Give it to her.

01:06:03Leah took the cloak,

01:06:05but wrinkled her nose in disgust.

01:06:08It's stained with blood!

01:06:10How disgusting!

01:06:11Cedric smiled and casually tossed the cloak out of the carriage.

01:06:15The wolf rider's giant claws stomped on it,

01:06:17and the pure white fox fur instantly turned into mud.

01:06:21The crown princess of Averia can't even keep a cloak.

01:06:25When the wolf king is done with her,

01:06:27giving her to us wouldn't be bad.

01:06:29Cedric did not stop them,

01:06:31but instead said,

01:06:33It is her honor to serve the frost wolf warriors.

01:06:37I stopped and looked back at him.

01:06:40My stare made him uneasy,

01:06:41and he roared,

01:06:42Move!

01:06:43I smiled and continued forward.

01:06:46Cedric,

01:06:47you'd better remember every word you said today.

01:06:50Kale will love hearing that.

01:06:54In the evening,

01:06:56Leah leaned out of the carriage window.

01:06:58Holding a silver hand warmer in her hands,

01:07:00she smiled sweetly.

01:07:02Sister,

01:07:03your hands are all red from the cold,

01:07:05aren't they?

01:07:05Would you like to warm them up?

01:07:07The next second,

01:07:08the hand warm slipped from her hand

01:07:09and slammed hard onto the back of my hand.

01:07:12Live coals spilled out,

01:07:14instantly blistering my skin.

01:07:16Mira screamed and lunged at me,

01:07:18pressing snow against my wound.

01:07:21You did this on purpose!

01:07:22Leah immediately snuggled into Cedric's arms.

01:07:25Your Highness,

01:07:26I didn't mean to.

01:07:27I've been so clumsy since I got pregnant.

01:07:29Cedric didn't even glance at my injury,

01:07:31only coldly warning,

01:07:32Illyria,

01:07:33don't look at Leah like that.

01:07:34If you upset her and harm the child,

01:07:37I'll kill you.

01:07:38I looked down at the bloodbusters

01:07:39on the back of my hand.

01:07:41Seven years ago,

01:07:42I pricked my finger on a rose thorn

01:07:44in the vain Manisham greenhouse

01:07:45and barely bled a single drop.

01:07:48When Nayan saw it,

01:07:50his whole body froze.

01:07:53That night,

01:07:54the gardener responsible for pruning the roses

01:07:56was so frightened

01:07:57that he knelt outside the door

01:07:58because all the thorny roses in the estate

01:08:00had been uprooted overnight.

01:08:03Nayan stood in the rain,

01:08:04his hands covered in blood,

01:08:06holding a bundle of broken rose branches

01:08:08in his arms.

01:08:09Mistress,

01:08:10anything that hurts you

01:08:12should not be allowed to remain.

01:08:15Now,

01:08:16Leah has injured my hand

01:08:18with a scalding hand warmer

01:08:19and Cedric is threatening to kill me.

01:08:22I suddenly wondered

01:08:23whether he would cut off Leah's hand first

01:08:26or tear Cedric's throat apart first.

01:08:31When we arrived at the Frostwolf camp,

01:08:33I was so cold that I could barely stand.

01:08:35Black wolf banners lined the mountain ridges,

01:08:38the wind thick with the smell of rust and blood.

01:08:41Werewolf sauriers surrounded us

01:08:43like they were looking at cargo

01:08:44delivered to a slaughter block.

01:08:46Cedric adjusted his cloak,

01:08:47forcing himself to remain calm.

01:08:49Inform the Wolf King

01:08:50that Crown Prince Cedric requests an audience.

01:08:53Nobody paid him any attention.

01:08:55Just then,

01:08:56a one-eyed old general

01:08:57came out of the camp gate.

01:08:59He had been looking impatient,

01:09:01but he froze

01:09:02when he saw my face.

01:09:04You.

01:09:05His voice was trembling uncontrollably.

01:09:08I recognize him.

01:09:10Hall,

01:09:11seven years ago

01:09:12when Cael wasn't yet the Wolf King,

01:09:14he and Cael were besieged

01:09:15by rebels in Snow Valley.

01:09:17I delivered food and medicine,

01:09:18pulling them back

01:09:19from the brink of death.

01:09:20Cedric impatiently blocked his view.

01:09:22What are you looking at?

01:09:24This is the bride

01:09:25I am offering to your Wolf King.

01:09:27Hall's face turned deathly pale instantly.

01:09:30He looked at my chains,

01:09:31my wounds,

01:09:32my bare feet,

01:09:34and his eyes were filled

01:09:35with nothing but fear.

01:09:37He's not afraid of me.

01:09:38He was afraid of how many people

01:09:40in the Frost Wolf Camp

01:09:41would die after Cael returned.

01:09:45The Wolf King is not in the camp.

01:09:47This remark visibly relieved Cedric

01:09:50and brought a smile

01:09:51to the other person's face.

01:09:53Marlow,

01:09:54the Frost Wolf Steward,

01:09:55emerged from the main tent

01:09:56in a lavish fur robe,

01:09:58his eyes greasy and cold.

01:10:01He circled me once.

01:10:03The King's bride.

01:10:05She is indeed beautiful.

01:10:07If the Steward is willing to speak

01:10:09on Illyria's behalf

01:10:10to the Wolf King,

01:10:11she can be handed over to you

01:10:13to examine first.

01:10:14You're still her husband!

01:10:17She's just a sacrifice now.

01:10:18Marlow smiled and reached out

01:10:20to touch my face.

01:10:21I looked up.

01:10:22You'd better not touch me.

01:10:23He paused for a moment,

01:10:24then burst into laughter.

01:10:26Human woman,

01:10:26do you know whose territory this is?

01:10:28I know.

01:10:29That's why I'm warning you.

01:10:30Marlin's face darkened.

01:10:31Hold her down.

01:10:32Several werewolves grabbed my shoulders,

01:10:34and Mira rushed over

01:10:36like a madwoman,

01:10:37only to be slapped

01:10:38to the ground in the snow.

01:10:39I heard her coughing up blood.

01:10:41At that moment,

01:10:42my smile vanished completely.

01:10:43Marlow ordered his men

01:10:44to drag Myra to the state.

01:10:46Since this maid

01:10:47likes protecting her mistress.

01:10:50The barbed wolf whip

01:10:51was lined with hooks,

01:10:52and it cut through the air

01:10:53with a sharp whistle.

01:10:54Don't make a scene.

01:10:55It'll affect the peace talks.

01:10:57Cedric stood to the side,

01:10:59his brow frellowed.

01:11:00Leah nestled in his arms

01:11:02and whispered,

01:11:03Your Highness,

01:11:04she is just a maid.

01:11:06Miss, don't worry about me!

01:11:08Mira was pressed down

01:11:09in the still crying out.

01:11:10Before the first lash fell,

01:11:11I broke free

01:11:12from the werewolf behind me

01:11:13and pounced on Mira.

01:11:14The barbs tore open my back.

01:11:16The pain exploded like fire,

01:11:18but I grint my teeth

01:11:19and didn't cry out.

01:11:20Miss!

01:11:21Marlum's eyes lit up

01:11:22with excitement.

01:11:23The king will prefer

01:11:24a bleeding bride.

01:11:26He reached out again

01:11:27to tear at my wedding dress.

01:11:28I stared at that hand

01:11:29and said softly,

01:11:30That hand is already forfeit.

01:11:33In the distance,

01:11:34the sound of horns

01:11:35suddenly tore

01:11:36through the wind and snow.

01:11:38All the werewolves

01:11:39turned around

01:11:39at the same time.

01:11:41The black wolf banner

01:11:42had returned to camp.

01:11:45The earth shook

01:11:46as dire wolf riders

01:11:47charged into the camp

01:11:48through the wind and snow.

01:11:49The man at the front

01:11:50was clad in black armor,

01:11:51his silver hair

01:11:52stained red with blood,

01:11:53and he dragged

01:11:54the broken flag

01:11:55of the enemy leader

01:11:56in his hand.

01:11:57All the werewolves knelt.

01:11:58All hail the wolf king!

01:12:01Cedric's legs buckled

01:12:02and he almost knelt down.

01:12:03Marlum hurriedly released me

01:12:04and prostrated himself

01:12:05in the snow.

01:12:06My king,

01:12:07the Aurarian bride

01:12:07has been delivered.

01:12:08I was just inspecting her for you.

01:12:10Cael did not listen to the rest.

01:12:11He dismounted from the giant vault

01:12:13and coldly swept his gaze

01:12:14across the camp.

01:12:15That face was sharper,

01:12:16colder,

01:12:16and more like the monster

01:12:17from the rumors

01:12:18than it had been seven years ago.

01:12:20I helped Myra stand up,

01:12:21blood dripping from my back

01:12:22onto the snow.

01:12:23When Cedric saw

01:12:24that I still dared

01:12:25to raise my head,

01:12:26he hissed angrily,

01:12:29Kneel down!

01:12:30Do you want to get us killed?

01:12:31I ignored him.

01:12:32I looked at Cael's back

01:12:33and softly said,

01:12:34Nayan.

01:12:35The moment those two words

01:12:36were uttered,

01:12:37the entire Frostwolf camp

01:12:38seemed to freeze.

01:12:39Cedric stared at me in horror.

01:12:41Are you insane?

01:12:42How dare you call

01:12:43the wolf king

01:12:43by his old name?
