FunTranscript
00:00I watched my husband Sean drapel his military coat onto another woman.
00:04I opened my mouth, but no sound came from my throat.
00:07I rushed into a fire three years ago to rescue Sean's military academy application units,
00:13and my vocal cords were destroyed by the smoke.
00:16And now, the girl Sean had rescued, Linda was speaking with a voice eerily similar to mine,
00:21smiling as she said,
00:22So cold, Sean. You're so kind.
00:25Today was my birthday. Linda insisted on giving me a big gift.
00:29Happy birthday.
00:30But her gift was a man.
00:32It was Leon, the most beloved only son of the Star-Lord, the most brutal heir in the entire galaxy.
00:38Last night, in the darkness, I touched him with my own hands.
00:41I wept as I wrote on the holographic tablet, begging Sean to save me.
00:46You reflect on yourself.
00:47But Sean turned around and walked toward his private aircraft with Linda.
00:52As I wept, I felt an itch on my leg. I looked down.
00:56Your husband already agreed. You don't?
00:59My birthday had been going wrong since early morning.
01:02I watched the aircraft shuttling outside the apartment window.
01:05Madam, happy birthday. I've prepared a super big gift for you. You must accept it.
01:10I quickly scratched out a few words on the Halafic tablet.
01:13No, thank you.
01:13I knew Linda's gifts all too well.
01:16Last time Linda gave me an energy crystal necklace, it turned out to be a stolen heirloom from a wealthy
01:21family in the Fifth Star City.
01:23I was locked in a detention cell all night and Sean had to use his privileges to get me out.
01:28Linda knelt before me and cried for a full half hour saying she would change.
01:31Now she was at it again.
01:33Linda saw me shake my head and pouted.
01:35She ran out crying and crashed straight into Sean's arms as he was getting off his aircraft.
01:40Sean Astor, the youngest military advisor of the Sixth Star City, the general's star on his abanjin gleaming coldly in
01:46the morning light.
01:47He steadied Linda's shoulders and looked down at her tear-streaked face.
01:51Linda lifted her head, tears turning to laughter.
01:54Advisor, madam won't accept my gift. Please help me persuade her.
01:59Advisor said you should accept it and let me spend your birthday with you.
02:04I froze in place. Sean walked over and bent down to pick it up for me.
02:08Linda is a war orphan. Seeing you celebrate your birthday must make her sad. Let's keep her company, okay?
02:15I lowered my face and clenched my moles.
02:18Tonight, I'll spend time with you alone.
02:21Me too, me too.
02:22On the aircraft heading to the Celebration Square, Linda chattered non-stop.
02:27Madam, you know, when I was little in the slums of the Eighth Star City, I couldn't even get enough
02:31synthetic nutrient paste to eat on my birthdays.
02:33You're so fortunate now. Advisor Astor treats you so well.
02:37Oh dear, I speak bluntly. Madam isn't angry, is you?
02:40I silently looked out the porthole. Sean sat beside me, holding my hand, but his gaze remained fixed on Linda
02:46across from us.
02:47The security situation in the Eighth Star City is indeed concerning.
02:51I'll bring it up at next week's military meeting.
02:53I pulled my hand out of his palm. Sean paused and turned his head to look at me.
02:58What's wrong?
02:59I wrote on the holomafic tablet,
03:01I won't go to the Wishing Pool. Sean nodded and instructed the pilot to change course.
03:06It was the only ancient relic in the Sixth Star City, said to be especially effective for birthday wishes.
03:12Before the Wishing Pool, I knelt on the cold stone steps and closed my eyes.
03:16I made three wishes, the same as every birthday before, watching the starship parade with Sean, drinking sweet wine.
03:22Blushing, I wrote down the third wish and was about to cast it into the Wishing Pool's energy beam.
03:27A hand reached from behind and snatched away my wish crystal.
03:31I want to have a baby with Sean.
03:35I watched my husband Sean drapel his military coat onto another woman.
03:39I opened my mouth, but no sound came from my throat.
03:43I rushed into a fire three years ago to rescue Sean's military academy application units,
03:49and my vocal cords were destroyed by the smoke.
03:51And now, the girl Sean had rescued, Linda was speaking with a voice eerily similar to mine,

04:40Madam, happy birthday.
04:42I've prepared a super big gift for you.
04:44You must accept it.
04:46I quickly scratched out a few words on the Halaphic tablet.
04:48No, thank you.
04:49I knew Linda's gifts all too well.
04:52Last time Linda gave me an energy crystal necklace.
04:55It turned out to be a stolen heirloom from a wealthy family in the Fifth Star City.

05:57Me too, me too.
05:58On the aircraft heading to the Celebration Square, Linda chattered non-stop.
06:02Madam, you know, when I was little in the slums of the Eighth Star City,
06:05I couldn't even get enough synthetic nutrient paste to eat on my birthdays.
06:09You're so fortunate now.

06:29I pulled my hand out of his palm.
06:31Sean paused and turned his head to look at me.
06:34What's wrong?
06:35I wrote on the holomathic tablet,
06:37I won't go to the Winsing Pool.
06:39Sean nodded and instructed the pilot to change course.
06:42It was the only ancient relic in the Sixth Star City,
06:45said to be especially effective for birthday wishes.
06:48Before the Wishing Pool, I knelt on the cold stone steps and closed my eyes.
06:52I made three wishes.
06:53The same as every birthday before,
06:55watching the Starship Parade with Sean, drinking sweet wine.
06:58Blushing, I wrote down the third wish and was about to cast it into the Wishing Pool's energy beam.
07:03A hand reached from behind and snatched away my wish crystal.
07:07I want to have a baby with Sean.
07:11The hatch closed automatically.
07:13Only Sean and I were left, staring at each other.
07:18Enough.
07:19You look at people with prejudice.
07:22Disappointment surfaced in his eyes.
07:24Others looked down on you for being mute, but didn't I marry you anyway?
07:27I stood nailed to the spot, staring at him blankly.
07:30Back then, Sean's military acaplication formants were burned by his mortal enemy,
07:34and I rushed into the fire, clutching the documents to my chest.
07:37My throat was destroyed by the thick smoke.
07:40Now, wanting to defend myself,
07:41I could only grab his hand without time to write a single word on the holographic tablet.
07:46But he gently pried my fingers open.
07:49Sean stepped off the aircraft and turned back to close the hatch properly.
07:53His voice came through the metal, somewhat distant.
07:56Go back by yourself.
07:58Sean went to find Linda.
08:00On my birthday, I didn't see the starship parade.
08:03I didn't drink the sweet wine.
08:04I lay alone on the big bed in the apartment, tossing and turning.
08:08Tears soaked the pillow, and even when I flipped it over, it was still wet.
08:11I tried not to think about it, but still cried until my head ache and my eyes swelled.
08:16In the middle of the night, half asleep, suddenly there was another person in the bed.
08:19A body burning hot, like a ball of fire.
08:22The room was dark, and I reached out to feel who it was.
08:26Madam, happy birthday.
08:27May you soon have a chubby baby.
08:58I finally touched the person beside me.
08:59It was a man.
08:59I buried my head and fell asleep.
09:01The next day, artificial sunlight streamed through the smart window.
09:05I stretched comfortably, planning to give Sean a way out.
09:08I turned over and hugged the person beside me, tracing upward along his atomogen, until I met a pair of
09:14bloodshot gray-blue eyes.
09:16The man had sharp features, staring at me coldly.
09:20His wrists were bound with energy restraints.
09:23But this was not my husband.
09:25This was Sean's student, Leon Valentine, the only son of the Star Lord.
09:31The hatch closed automatically.
09:33Only Sean and I were left, staring at each other.
09:38Enough.
09:38You look at people with prejudice.
09:42Disappointment surfaced in his eyes.
09:44Others looked down on you for being mute, but didn't I marry you anyway?
09:47I stood nailed to the spot, staring at him blankly.
09:50Back then, Sean's military application formants were burned by his mortal enemy,
09:54and I rushed into the fire, clutching the documents to my chest.
09:57My throat was destroyed by the thick smoke.
09:59Now, wanting to defend myself, I could only grab his hand without time to write a single word on the
10:05holographic tablet.
10:06But he gently pried my fingers open.
10:09Sean stepped off the aircraft and turned back, to close the hatch properly.
10:13His voice came through the metal, somewhat distant.
10:16Go back by yourself.
10:18Sean went to find Linda.
10:20On my birthday, I didn't see the Starship Parade.
10:23I didn't drink the sweet wine.
10:24I lay alone on the big bed in the apartment, with it tossing and turning.
10:28Tears soaked the pillow, and even when I flipped it over, it was still wet.
10:31I tried not to think about it, but still cried until my head ache and my eyes swelled.
10:35In the middle of the night, half asleep, suddenly there was another person in the bed.
10:40A body burning hot, like a ball of fire.
10:42The room was dark, and I reached out to feel who it was.
10:46Madam, happy birthday.
10:47May you soon have a chubby baby.
10:49I finally touched the person beside me.
10:51It was a man.
10:52My mind was foggy.
10:53Had Linda sent Sean over?
10:54We had slept in separate beds for a long time.
10:56Ever since Linda came, she would have night terrors every few days and rush into the master
10:59bedroom to find Sean.
11:00Over time, Sean moved to the study to avoid disturbing me.
11:03Now, Sean had come on his own importance.
11:05My eyes hurt from crying, and my mind was muddled.
11:07I wiped my tears on the chest of the person beside me, unwilling to lift my head and look
11:11at his face.
11:12Do you want it or not?
11:14And Janastater was gouged with anger, remembering how cold Sean had been today.
11:18I directly ignored the heat behind me.
11:19I buried my head and fell asleep.
11:21The next day, artificial sunlight streamed through the smart window.
11:25I stretched comfortably, planning to give Sean a way out.
11:28I turned over and hugged the person beside me, tracing upward along his atomogen, until
11:33I met a pair of bloodshot gray-blue eyes.
11:36The man had sharp features, staring at me coldly.
11:39His wrists were bound with energy restraints.
11:43But this was not my husband.
11:45This was Sean's student.
11:47Leon Valentine.
11:48The only son of the Star Lord.
11:51I was so frightened that I fell off the bed.
11:53The person on the bed smired.
11:55You have the guts to play, but not the guts to admit it?
11:57Broken whimpers came from my mouth as I frantically threw on a robe.
12:01Before leaving, I found a piece of cloth and sucked it into Leon's mouth, begging him to
12:05stay calm for now.
12:06From the outer room of the apartment came Sean's voice.
12:09He was back, but he didn't come to my room first.
12:12My heart first relaxed, then a wave of bitterness followed.
12:16He followed the sound and ran over.
12:17Under the glowing vines in the garden, Linda stood before Sean, asking him to help fix her
12:21hair.
12:22Sean bent down, his fingers threading through her hair, a smile in his eyes.
12:25The hair I had hastily tied up was pulling at myself painfully.
12:29Think of the hidden in the room.
12:30Anxiety and anger intertwined in my heart.
12:32I rushed up to Sean and gestured frantically toward the bedroom.
12:35A polygomic tablet had been left in the bedroom.
12:37I could be to use gestures.
12:39Horning at Linda, horning at the bedroom, then crossing my hands in an X.
12:42She sent a man, trying to harm me, but Linda immediately burst into tears.
12:46Madam is rejecting my gift again.
12:48What should I do?
12:49Kneel down and beg her?
12:50Dispute she had stolen the most vulnerable Lord's son.
12:53I willot of scared that tears fall, but Sean looked at Linda's tearful eyes first.
12:57Can't you just accept the gift?
12:59Linda's tears turned to laughter.
13:00With Sean backing her up, she wiped her tears and said,
13:04Madam wants a baby.
13:05I gave a gift to help Madam sow seeds.
13:07Don't talk about that.
13:09Oh, oh.
13:09Then we'll talk about it later.
13:12I'm a thought of in the Fitterland, like a ticking time bomb.
13:15Swallowing my bitterness, I gestured desperately at Sean.
13:18There's someone in the room.
13:19Take him away.
13:20But Sean simply turned his face away, ignoring me.
13:23My fingers froze in midair.
13:25Since Madam don't respect your feelings, I'll take you out to cheer up.
13:28Okay, like last night?
13:31Linda jumped up cheerfully.
13:33Madam, last night the advisor got drunk and had me walk with him all night.
13:37She didn't forget to turn back and explain to me.
13:40She randled on, saying they watched the Starship Parade and drank sweet wine,
13:44enjoying all the treatment that should have been mine on my birthday.
13:46Linda's sweet voice circled around my husband.
13:49Every word found an echo.
13:51After the two left, I stood until my legs went nip, hanging my head as tears fell.
13:56But I met someone's gaze.
14:00At the bedroom door, the bound Lord's son had come out without me knowing when.
14:05Leon's hands were bound behind his back with energy restraints.
14:09His robe had slipped off his shoulders, revealing a well-defined torso.
14:13With trembling hands, I pulled his clothes back up for him.
14:17Before I could write an apology on the holographic tablet,
14:20I don't accept after-the-fact apologies.
14:23Unless you can tie me up for life and keep me locked in your bedroom.
14:27He went into more and more detail.
14:29I shook my head frantically in fear.
14:32The sound of a housekeeping robot came from the courtyard.
14:36I covered Leon's mouth.
14:37He looked dazed, and when dragged back to the bedroom,
14:40a 1.9-meter soldier offered no resistance at all.
14:43Could Linda have used a neural paralytic and made him stupid?
14:46Sean was Leon's military strategy advisor.
14:49The two were on decent terms, but Leon didn't like me.
14:52The first time they met, he turned his head and whispered to Sean,
14:55Advisor, this is your wife?
14:58She doesn't suit me.
14:59My wife and I are a match made in heaven.
15:02I looked at the Lord's son, leaning against the bed.
15:04My mind a tangled mess.
15:05I will sue you.
15:06As the wife of an advisor for illegally detaining the Lord's heir,
15:10don't think you can do whatever you want to me just because I'm weak.
15:13Afraid Leon couldn't read the holographic tablet,
15:16I quickly wrote on his palm,
15:18Your Highness, it's a misunderstanding.
15:21I have no interest in you.
15:23You touch me all night, and you say you have no interest?
15:26I remembered that burning heat and blushed crimson.
15:30What to do?
15:31How to send him away?
15:32While I was frowning worriedly.
15:35If you don't hide me, Sean has an abandoned safe house in the outer suburbs.
15:39It's been deserted for a long time, suitable for hiding someone.
15:42Are you going to hide me there?
15:44Expected of the Lord's, he thought things through thoroughly.
15:47I called an unmanned cargo aircraft and shoved Leon into the cargo hold.
15:50I wrote on his palm,
15:52Your Highness, you don't want to be seen by outsiders either.
15:56Please be quiet.
15:57Sure enough, Leon stopped moving, staring at me.
16:00His face red with anger.
16:02I was about to let the aircraft depart.
16:05Where is Madam going?
16:08Madam, the gift I gave you, was it useful?
16:11Pale-faced, I pulled tight the insulated curtain of the cargo hold,
16:16feigned calmness, and gestured to Sean.
16:18I'm going out for a bit.
16:19You can't go.
16:20Sean frowned and stared at me.
16:22I bit my lip nervously.
16:24Linda gave you a gift, and you haven't thanked her.
16:27Sean then said softly,
16:28So it was about this.
16:30Forced a smile, suggested Stefan.
16:33I nodded immediately.
16:35Since it's my urgency, Sean wanted to come aboard the aircraft with me.
16:39I pushed him away, and shook my head desperately.
16:43Doubt flashed in Sean's eyes.
16:45I quickly pulled the curtain closed.
16:47Outside the cargo hold, Linda tilped her head and confused.
16:49Oh my.
16:50Did Madam hide the gift inside the aircraft?
16:52Why put it in the cargo hold?
16:54Linda's voice was sweet and chai.
16:57Shall we open it and take a look?
16:59Oh no.
17:00There was no hiding place in the cargo hold.
17:02I sat in my seat, clutching the hem of my dress.
17:04Frozen.
17:05Thinking of my reputation.
17:06Thinking of the disappointment in Sean's eyes, I could no longer hold back the tears.
17:10Leon stared at me, covered his eyes with a look of termination, and flipped over to crawl under.
17:14Shocked, I pressed down on my skirt.
17:16The curtain was lifted, and Sean's gaze looked in.
17:19I sat with my legs, spreading my skirt, salsa nervously with Sean.
17:22Evelyn, why are you sitting like that?
17:23Linda also head in, staring dialogue at me.
17:25Isn't gifts than Gidlet, lift it up and see.
17:27Sean stopped her and frowned.
17:28Who taught you to speak so frivolously?
17:29Apologize.
17:30This was the first time Sean scolded Nina for my sake.
17:32A sudden pan of bitterness rose in my chest.
17:34Under my skirt, Leon's hair pressed against my leg.
17:37Fuzzy and itchy.
17:38The most honored air in the galaxy was hooding under my skirt.
17:41I hesitated.
17:41I looked pleadingly at Sean, reaching out, wanting to pull him inside.
17:45Don't blame her.
17:46I will educate her properly.
17:48His voice was like a bane of cold rash poured over my head, chilling me to the bone.
17:53I withdrew my hand and gestured for him not don't block the way.
17:56Evelyn, tonight I'll make up your birthday gift to you.
18:00The aircraft lifted off, skimming the ground.
18:02The crying sounded so much like Evelyn.
18:04Before she lost her voice, it was this same sound.
18:07The crying made Sean unable to resist loving her by association.
18:09As the aircraft flew far away, he watched from a distance of unease in his heart.
18:12This wasn't her usual route.
18:14When his wife came home, he would have to ask her.
18:16In the safe house, I paid the cargo robot hush money and dragged Leon into the room.
18:19Nurgel and Parasic Linda's Alanis Rubolt.
18:21Leon's whole body was still weak, and he kept leaning on my shoulder, unable to sit up straight.
18:26He wiped his nosebleed when the aircraft passed through the high-temperature cloud layer.
18:30He crawled out from under my skirt and had been bleeding from the nose ever since.
18:33I used a handkerchief dipped in coolant to pat his forehead, telling him to raise his hand
18:37and press the acupoint to stop the bleeding.
18:39You know so much.
18:40Does Sean usually need you to take care of him?
18:42A doting wife makes a failed husband.
18:44That's true was very good to Sean, but Sean used to be good to me too.
18:47Sean's hometown was in the Borja Star regions.
18:49Jenjotilde, he was the only survivor.
18:51When he passed through the colony where I lived, he knelt by the roadside begging for a few crystals
18:54to bury his father.
18:55He looked deeply at me and cowed.
18:57I went home and got scolded by my foster father.
19:00While I was standing in punishment, an ass I wanted to leave together.
19:02He was literate and talented.
19:04He could kneel at the household's fences and he gave all the crystals to me to manage.
19:08When love first blossomed in the synthetic forest of the colony.
19:11When he was about to leave for the military academy, the night before Deploture, his mortal
19:16enemy set fire to his dormitory.
19:18I rushed into the fire to protect his Arushan Waseeks and my vocals were destroyed.
19:21I won't go to the academy.
19:22I'll stay by your side and seek medical treatment.
19:24I didn't want treatment and forced him to use the crystals to continue his studies.
19:28He graduated first in his class and was appointed military advisor of the Sixth Star City.
19:31He sought out the best doctors in the galaxy to treat my throat.
19:34Hearing that the treatment required cutting out the decayed tissue in my throat, Sean,
19:37a man of 1.85 meters, turned pale, seeming to be in more pain than I was.
19:40I can't let you suffer anymore.
19:41But when did things change?
19:42That day, Linda climbed the wall into the apartment to steal things.
19:45When caught, she cried and begged for mercy.
19:47Hearing her voice, Sean froze and squeezed my hand.
19:49Your voice sounds like you.
19:50Linda was kept on as a life assistant to replay messages for me.
19:53But she always misrepresented what I wrote on the holoradic tablet.
19:55Yet it made Sean laugh.
19:56The three of us would walk together along the starport corridor.
19:58With only their two voices intertwining, I was in the middle stuck tucking my throat.
20:01Unable to swallow, unable to speak.
20:03A warmth on my face brought me back to my senses.
20:06Tears had already fallen.
20:08Leon across at me was stunned.
20:10He reached out to touch my face.
20:12What are you crying about?
20:13Sensing something wrong, I jumped back several steps in fright.
20:16How had his restraints come unknown?
20:18Did he want to ambush me and slap me?
20:20The Lord's Son had a volatile temper.
20:22He could fight mutant beasts in the arena.
20:24Crushing me would be like crushing a fly.
20:25I held my head, wanting to kneel and beg for mercy.
20:28Damn it.
20:28The drug is kicking in again.
20:30I'm like a piece of synthetic dough knitted at will.
20:32Seeing him go limp, I immediately pounced and retied his hands and feet.
20:36So cautious.
20:37I had never tied up a person before, but I had tied up lab clone beasts.
20:40Feed them, let them relieve themselves, and release them once they were healthy.
20:43There was no one in the safe house, so I made nutrient meals by hand.
20:46It's clean.
20:46A person's misc improves.
20:47And with good mood, they'll forgive me.
20:49I moved Leon into the bathtub and shell of his full wids his stiff.
20:53Leon looked at my ring.
20:54It bore Sean's family crest.
20:55You're still a married woman.
20:56You haven't divorced yet.
20:57How dare you touch me?
20:58He puddly grunts of chastity and pushed me out desperately.
21:01I sat on the steps, he thingied the move in from the sounds.
21:03Expected of the Lord's Son, he even let out to have ship angry roars.
21:07Would, would he find me too quiet?
21:09Afraid he'd feel lonely, I clapped my hands.
21:12The person inside went quiet.
21:13The safe house fell utterly silent.
21:15No wonder Sean didn't like me anymore.
21:17Other couples whispered sweet nothings.
21:19Even in intimacy, I was just silent.
21:20I once heard Sean's colleagues laugh at me.
21:22That mute wife of yours probably can't even understand your military theories, right?
21:27Sean rowed and scold him.
21:28The two walked fast.
21:30I had come to deliver documents.
21:31But I kept running and couldn't catch up to Sean and couldn't call out to stop him.
21:36No one likes lover who too quiet.
21:38I hugged my knees and rubbed my sore nose.
21:40But I still didn't regret saving Sean's admission documents.
21:44He had worked so hard for so many years.
21:47What a shame it would have been.
21:49Sean wanted to accompany me to the outer suburbs to take a look.
21:53I politely declined, saying the pet was shy and would bite.
21:57I was more afraid he'd discover the Lord's son locked in the safe house, waiting to be fed every day.
22:06I rushed to the safe house and hurriedly poured the nutrient bars into a bowl.
22:12Leon was starving and buried his head to eat.
22:16Can't you buy something else?
22:18Nutrient paste every day.
22:19Where's the protein?
22:20Once he built up strength, he'd escape very soon.
22:22I didn't dare make a sound and encouraged him to eat slowly.
22:24Suddenly, there was urgent knocking at the door.
22:26It was Sean's voice.
22:27Before I hide Leon, he muttered,
22:33Sean looked around and saw the half-eaten bowl.
22:36He didn't ask where the pet was and spoke urgently.
22:39Did you go and report her?
22:40Linda is just a young girl, only 20.
22:42How could you harm her?
22:43I looked at him blankly.
22:45It turned out Linda had been arrested at her home by interstellar security officers.
22:48Someone reported her for stealing my energy badge,
22:50the honorary medal personally awarded by the Lord when Sean and I were newly married.
22:54Sean had always smoothed over her petty thefts, but this time it was a serious crime.
22:58You looked down on Linda's status, but she's quite her best to please you.
23:01The birthday gift cost her all her crystals.
23:02This is a living, breathing life.
23:04How did you become so vicious?
23:05I looked at him, bee-ish the veins on his arp.
23:07He drabbed, we want to go save Linda.
23:09We divorce, and I'll save her.
23:10Over and let her fast in the jidging center.
23:12Sean raised at his parse tent.
23:13I wasn't afraid at all, staring at him.
23:15The voice relay command behind me said Linda had been crying out her innocence,
23:20her vocal cords nearly tearing.
23:21After we save Linda, we'll talk.
23:23I took out the divorce agreement I had prepared long ago for my waist and handed out the electronic pen.
23:29Sean wanted to accompany me to the outer suburbs to take a look.
23:32I politely declined, saying the pet was shy and would bite.
23:36I was more afraid he'd discover the Lord's son locked in the safe house, waiting to be fed every day.
23:45I rushed to the safe house and hurriedly poured the nutrient bars into a bowl.
23:51Leon was starving and buried his head to eat.
23:56Can't you buy something else?
23:57Nutrient paste every day.
23:59Where's the protein?
23:59Once he built up strength, he'd escape very soon.
24:02I didn't dare make a sound and encouraged him to eat slowly.
24:04Suddenly, there was urgent knocking at the door.
24:06It was Sean's voice.
24:06Before I hide Leon, he muttered,
24:09My husband is here.
24:10Where do I hide?
24:12Sean looked around and saw the half-eaten bowl.
24:15He didn't ask where the pet was and spoke urgently.
24:18Did you go and report her?
24:20Linda is just a young girl, only 20.
24:22How could you harm her?
24:23I looked at him blankly.
24:24It turned out Linda had been arrested at her home by interstellar security officers.
24:28Someone reported her for stealing my energy badge,
24:30the honorary medal personally awarded by the Lord when Sean and I were newly married.
24:34Sean had always smoothed over her petty thefts, but this time it was a serious crime.
24:37You look down on Linda's status, but she's quite her best to please you.
24:40The birthday gift cost her all her Christmas.
24:42This is a living, breathing life.
24:43How did you become so vicious?
24:45I looked at him, bee-ish the veins on his arb.
24:47He drabbed, we want to go save Linda.
24:48We divorce, and I'll save her.
24:50Over and let her fast in the Jijin Center.
24:51Sean raised at his car's tent.
24:53I wasn't afraid at all, staring at him.
24:55The voice relay command behind me said,
24:57Linda had been crying out her innocence.
24:59Her vocal cords nearly tearing.
25:01After we save Linda, we'll talk.
25:03I took out the divorce agreement I had prepared long ago for my waist and handed out the electronic pen.
25:08The security officer was holding the energy badge awarded by the Lord.
25:11This little thief stole your things, right?
25:13She's already a repeat offender.
25:16I shook my head and wrote a line on the holoravic tablet.
25:20Sean read it, was stunned, then relayed it for me.
25:32My wife and I have already divorced.
25:35The badge was granted by the Lord to the advisor's wife.
25:37Now on, Linda were the advisor's wife.
25:40Consider it returned to its right, Leona.
25:42The story went ahead, was that we stared at as a machine.
25:45Evelyn, my feelings for Linda aren't romantic.
25:47Closer!
25:48You're really, you're terribly scared!
25:51But Linda in the detentral covered her face and wept.
25:53I slightly backbumped her Udho the toshinal pod bomb.
25:56But Sean pushed me aside, entered the pod, and protected Linda's Udho with his hand.
26:00I was tired.
26:01I turned and left, ignoring Sean's calls.
26:04Walking out of the security office, I took a deep breath of the cool air of the Sixth Star City.
26:07Thinking that I was no longer Sean's wife.
26:09No more fear.
26:10No more worrying that Linda would throw stolen goods into my room and under the guise of repaying's indifference.
26:14The world from suddenly felt vast.
26:16The security officer was holding the energy badge awarded by the Lord.
26:19This little thief stole your things, right?
26:21She's already a repeat offender.
26:24I shook my head and wrote a line on the holoravic tablet.
26:28Sean read it, was stunned, then relayed it for me.
26:40My wife and I have already divorced.
26:42The badge was granted by the Lord to the advisor's wife.
26:45From now on, Linda will be advisor's wife.
26:47Consider it returned to its right, Leonie.
26:49The story of Linda's health was that we stole it as a machine.
26:52Evelyn, my feelings for Linda aren't romantic.
26:55It's closer!
26:56You're really, but she really scared!
26:58But Linda, in the detention, covered her face and wept.
27:01She slightly backbumped her Udho the totional pod from.
27:04But Sean pushed me aside, entered the pod, and protected Linda's Udho with his hand.
27:08I was tired.
27:09I turned and left.
27:10Ignoring Sean's calls, walking out of the security office, I took a deep breath of the
27:14cool air of the Sixth Star City, thinking that I was no longer Sean's wife.
27:17No more fear.
27:18No more worrying that Linda would throw stolen goods into my room and under the guise of
27:21repaying's indifference.
27:22The world from suddenly felt vast.
27:24I brought a large box of synthetic roast meat, and his ridder Teguli head to the safe house
27:30where Leon was kept.
27:35As soon as I entered, Leon smelled it and came out from inside.
27:43He still said his whole body was weak and rest his head on my lap, wanting to be fed.
27:47I can smell it.
27:48You have the scent of someone without a husband.
27:51The first time I saw you, I knew you and Sean weren't meant to be.
27:54Good that you divorced early.
27:55Splayed the divorce agreement and immediately stored it in his terminal.
27:59I grant it to you.
28:02Just a few days ago, he had a completely different face, calling me a criminal and shrinking in
28:07the corner, begging me not to humiliate him.
28:11But now, he was noble and composed, having someone escort me into the Lord's Flagship,
28:16wanting to properly reward me.
28:17The VIP cabin of the Lord's Flagship was as spacious as a palace.
28:22Eat.
28:23Leon pushed over a tray of interstellar delicacies.
28:28I gestured my thanks on the holographic tablet.
28:33Only the two of us, facing each other.
28:37Write on my palm.
28:38I can't be bothered to look at the holographic tablet.
28:40Writing was the slowest way.
28:41I could only write on his palm, one word at a time.
28:44But Leon showed no impatience.
28:46Every sentence got a response.
28:48What does your highness want me to do here?
28:50Be my princess consort.
28:52The Valentine family ancestral rule.
28:54Whoever touches the air shall be the future wife.
28:57Coincidentally, you no longer have a husband, and I lack a wife.
29:01Isn't this a match made in heaven?
29:02I shook my head and kept indicating that it wouldn't do.
29:05You have to tell me with your own mouth.
29:07After half a month of physical conditioning, on the day of the surgery, Leon skipped the
29:11military morning meeting.
29:13He sat beside the medical pod, looking calm, saying he would accompany me.
29:16Miss Watson, we're starting.
29:18This will only be more painful than when you were injured.
29:21The painful parts were living flesh.
29:23The painless parts were dead flesh.
29:25To distinguish between the two, neural anesthesia couldn't be used.
29:29I was in so much pain that my consciousness blurred.
29:32Someone wiped away my tears.
29:33Through my blurred vision, I recognized it was Leon.
29:36He frowned and told me to grip his hand tightly, sharing the pain together, yet he didn't make
29:41a sound.
29:42From morning until the artificial starlight came on.
29:46Mrs. Watson, don't speak for the next few days.
29:49Once the wound heals, you'll be able to make sounds again.
29:53Leon also promised that once I could speak, I could freely choose whether to stay or leave.
29:58After the doctor left, I held Leon's hand and looked at his arm, which I had gripped
30:02until blood marks appeared.
30:03Fool, why are you so good to me?
30:05I only remembered seeing Leon before with Sean.
30:08He looked at me from afar, his expression not one of delight.
30:11Did the Valentin family truly value chastity so much?
30:15A touch meant a lifetime?
30:17Do you like me?
30:19Leon's fingertips curled.
30:20He turned his hand and intertwined his fingers with mine, saying nothing.
30:25But something invisible wrapped around our clasped hands and tied a dead knot.
30:31Recovering in the Lord's castle, half a wonk later, I produced my first syllable.
30:38Leon showed no emotion on his face, but gave the entire ship's personnel a day off and awarded
30:43everyone a bonus.
30:44Then he ordered me.
30:45Next time, call my name.
30:48Understood?
30:49Good times didn't last.
30:51One evening, I went alone to the old apartment in the Sixth Star City to retrieve some left-bath items.
30:57I cannot come along.
30:58I have a military conference.
31:01I had just walked out of the apartment building when a black, unlicensed aircraft descended from
31:06the sky.
31:10The hatch popped open, and several mercenaries in dark armor rushed out and dragged me into
31:15the cargo hold.
31:16I struggled, a scream bursting from my throat.
31:20A hand wearing a metal gauntlet covered my mouth, and anesthetic gas rushed towards my face.
31:27The last thing I saw before losing consciousness was the scrolling news on the floating billboard
31:32across the way.
31:34Lord's son to wed soon.
31:36The person who set me up was Linda.
31:38Linda crouched on the rusted steel frame of an abandoned factory in the old district.
31:42Legs crossed, watching the mercenaries below tie me to an energy pillar.
31:48What I want, there's nothing I can't stay.
31:51She muttered to herself and dialed Sean's communication frequency.
31:55Her voice evidently changed into an anxious, tears tone.
31:58Advisor Aster, I saw someone kidnapping Evelyn.
32:01Sending you the location, hurry!
32:03On the other end of the call, Sean's breathing suddenly quickened.
32:07Follow them.
32:08I'll be there immediately.
32:10Sean hadn't seen me for many days.
32:12At first, he thought I was just throwing a tantrum.
32:14But when I hadn't appeared before him for nearly half a month, he panicked.
32:19Linda hung up, jumped down from the steel frame, and walked up to me.
32:23I was already awake and hazily saw Linda's face.
32:26Linda crouched down and grabbed my chin.
32:28You thought leaving on your own would let you rest easy?
32:31Do you know how long I've waited for this day?
32:34Linda leaned in and lowered her voice.
32:36I hate you, Evelyn.
32:38I hate everything you have.
32:40I glared at her, my throat still under the lingering effect of the anesthetic,
32:45unable to squeeze out a single word.
32:48Linda stood up and nodded to the mercenary leader.
32:50Do it.
32:51The energy diver snapped out with a cold light.
32:54I was taken away.
32:56Linda stayed behind, looking innocent,
32:59waiting for Sean to pick her up.
33:01Sean's military aircraft traced a blazing trail through the sky.
33:05Linda sat in the passenger seat,
33:07her fingertips digging into her palms.
33:09She watched the red dot getting closer on the navigator,
33:12and suddenly let out and...
33:14Ouch.
33:16What's wrong?
33:17Sean stared intently ahead.
33:19My foot.
33:21I think I twisted it while chasing them just now.
33:24Linda bit her lip,
33:26cold sweat appearing on her forehead.
33:28Advisor, you go ahead.
33:31Don't worry about me.
33:32What nonsense!
33:36But Sean still slowed down and bent over to check her ankle.
33:40Linda's ankle had no injury at all,
33:43but she sucked in a sharp breath-breath and shrink back.
33:46It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
33:48It might have hurt the bone!
33:50Sean frowned and had no choice but to land the aircraft
33:53on an abandoned aerial platform and banished her simply.
33:57Advisor, don't mind me!
33:58Saving Madam is more important!
34:00Linda wept, her face covered in tears.
34:02Otherwise, I'll ever forgive myself for the rest of my life!
34:05Sean's heart was in turmoil.
34:07In the end, he helped her back into the aircraft
34:09and continued flying at an extremely low speed.
34:13By the time they reached the factory coordinates,
34:16nearly an hour had passed.
34:18Sean jumped off the aircraft and rushed into the abandoned factory.
34:21The energy puller was still humming lowly.
34:24Only a pool of blood remained on the ground,
34:26along with my crushed holographic tablet.
34:29Sean froze in place.
34:31Linda hobbled in after him,
34:33and seeing the pool of blood,
34:34covered her mouth.
34:39Sean didn't answer.
34:41He crouched down and picked up the remnants of the tablet.
34:44The system automatically played the last unsent message.
34:47It was the recording button I had instinctively pressed
34:50at the moment of being kidnapped.
34:52Just a few seconds of ambient sound,
34:54then a muffled thud and a hoary scream.
34:57At the end of the recording was Linda's voice.
35:00I hate you, Evelyn.
35:02Sean whipped his head around,
35:04Linda's face turned ashen.
35:06No, it wasn't me!
35:07That's synthesized!
35:09Someone is framing me!
35:10But Sean had already stood up.
35:12For the first time,
35:13a bone-chilling coldness appeared in his gray-blue eyes.
35:16The search team searched for three days and three night.
35:19On the fourth day,
35:19the Interstell guard found a charred body
35:21in the underground pipes of the abandoned factory.
35:24DNA testing confirmed it was Evelyn.
35:26When the news reached Sean's ears,
35:28he was in his office signing documents.
35:30The electronic pen slipped from his hand
35:32and rolled onto the floor.
35:34He didn't move,
35:35until the office lights automatically went out,
35:37submerging him in darkness.
35:41Linda knocked and came in,
35:43carefully carrying a hot drink.
35:45Advisor,
35:46the dead cannot be brought back to life.
35:48Get out.
35:49Sean's voice was very soft.
35:52Linda froze and forced a smile.
35:54Don't blame yourself too much.
35:56That day we did our best to rush over.
35:58I said get out!
36:02Sean swept everything off his desk onto the floor.
36:08Linda fled out the door in fright.
36:10Sean sat alone in the darkness,
36:12covering his face with both hands.
36:14But in fact,
36:15that charred body was the remains of a clone bionics.
36:17The real me,
36:19the moment before the mercenaries were about to strike,
36:21was rescued by Leon's shadow guards.
36:23At this moment,
36:24I was laying in the top-tier medical pod of the Lord's flagship,
36:28slowly opening my eyes.
36:30Leon held my cold hand,
36:32his eyes blood shut.
36:33These three days,
36:34he hadn't closed his eyes.
36:36I opened my mouth
36:37and squeezed out a few words in a horny voice.
36:40You...
36:41How did you know?
36:43I would never let my fiancé go out alone.
36:45Leon pressed my fingers to his lips,
36:48his voice low and honey.
36:50From the moment you left the castle,
36:51my shadow guards never left your side.
36:54I just...
36:55wanted to catch the per person hiding behind all this.
36:59A layer of icy coldness surfaced in his eyes.
37:03Now,
37:04the evidence is complete.
37:06Sean whipped his head around.
37:08Linda's face turned ashen.
37:10No!
37:10It wasn't me!
37:12That's synthesized!
37:13Someone is framing me!
37:15But Sean had already stood up.
37:17For the first time,

37:45Linda knocked and came in,
37:47carefully carrying a hot drink.
37:50Advisor,
37:51the dead cannot be brought back to life.
37:53Get out.
37:54Sean's voice was very soft.
37:56Linda froze and forced a smile.
37:58Don't blame yourself too much.
38:00That day we did our best to rush over.
38:02I said,
38:03get out!
38:07Sean swept everything off his desk onto the floor.
38:12Linda fled out the door in fright.
38:14Sean sat alone in the darkness,
38:16covering his face with both hands.
38:18But in fact,
38:19that charred body was the remains of a clone bionic scene.
38:22The real me,
38:23the moment before the mercenaries were about to strike,
38:25was rescued by Leon's shadowguards.
38:27At this moment,
38:28I was laying in the top-tier medical pod of the Lord's flagship,

38:59wanted to catch the purr person hiding behind all this.
39:03A layer of icy coldness surfaced in his eyes.
39:07Now,
39:08the evidence is complete.
39:11A few months later,
39:13the grandest coronation banquet in the galaxy
39:15was held at the Core Hall of the Lord Star.
39:18Celebrities from across the star region
39:20gathered in the magnificent hall.
39:23Sean Astor,
39:23as the military advise of the Six Star City,
39:26had no choice but to attend,
39:28with Linda still at his side.
39:30Linda hadn't had a good time these past few months.
39:33After that incident,
39:35although she made all kinds of excuses
39:36claiming the recording was synthesized and a frame-up,
39:39Sean didn't pursue it further,
39:41because he had fallen into a kind of numb grief,
39:43unable to summon the energy for anything.
39:45But Linda didn't mind.
39:47She thought as long as Evelyn was dead,
39:49Sean would eventually be hers.
39:51Walking into the hall,
39:52Linda wore an expensive interstellar gown,
39:54linked arms with Sean,
39:56and smiled brightly.
39:57Advisor,
39:58I heard today they're crowning the new Princess Consort
40:00of the Lord's Son.
40:01I wonder which family's daughter...
40:03Her voice stopped abruptly.
40:06On the Princess Consort's seat
40:07at the far end of the hall
40:09sat a figure all too familiar to her.
40:10I wore a coronation robe flowing with light and color,
40:14the Valentine family's nebula crest adorning my neck.
40:17My complexion was rosy,
40:18my eyes bright,
40:19alive,
40:20sitting there.
40:21Sean's steps were nailed to the spot.
40:24Linda's face turned white as paper.
40:28This is impossible!
40:29She clearly already...
40:32Sean had already shaken off her arm
40:34and strode forward.
40:35The guard stopped him.
40:37He lost his composure and shouted,
40:40Everyone in the hall turned to look.
40:44I turned my head and saw Sean.
40:47My gaze was as calm as if looking at a stranger.
40:51Sean's eyes reddened instantly.
40:54You're alive.
40:55You're still alive.
40:56He reached out to touch me
40:58but was blocked by the guard's energy shields.
41:00Why didn't you tell me?
41:02Why didn't you come back?
41:03I searched for you.
41:04I searched for you for so long.
41:06I thought you were dead.
41:09Linda followed behind,
41:10forcing herself to stay composed
41:12and squeezing out a smile.
41:13Evelyn, so you're fine?
41:15Why didn't you come home?
41:15Do you know how long
41:16Advisor Astor worried about you?
41:18Her voice was neither loud nor soft,
41:19but just enough for the surrounding guests to hear.
41:22Or, did you hide on purpose?
41:23Deliberately making us think you were dead
41:25so you could climb up to a higher branch
41:27without any worries holding you back?
41:29Whispers began to spread around.
41:31I didn't speak.
41:32Just gave Linda a faint look.
41:33Linda felt a bit guilty under my gaze,
41:35but still pressed on.
41:37Today's coronation banquet,
41:39the Princess Comfort seat
41:40isn't just for anyone to sit in Miss Watson.
41:43Although you were once the Advisor's wife,
41:45that position-
41:45Linda, shut up.
41:46But on the high platform at the end of the hall,
41:48the heavy golden thread curtains
41:50were drawn open from both sides.
41:52Leon Valentine wore the heir's military uniform,
41:55the nebula insignia on his apeism
41:57beaming coldly under the lights.
41:58He strode down the steps,
42:00heading straight toward me.
42:04You say I stole your wife?
42:06Leon stepped down the stairs
42:08and stood before Sean.
42:10When did you ever treat her as a wife?
42:13She saved your life
42:14and destroyed her voice for you.
42:16What you repaid her with
42:17was coldness time and again,
42:18allowing her to be framed
42:19and on her birthday,
42:21taking another woman
42:21to watch the Starship Parade.
42:23Sean asked her,
42:24are you even worthy of the word wife?
42:26A deathly silence filled the hall.
42:28Sean opened his mouth,
42:30wanting to say something.
42:31but couldn't utter a single word.
42:34He looked at me.
42:36My expression was calm,
42:38without a single ripple.
42:40I'm sorry.
42:42I know I was wrong.
42:44Please come back, okay?
42:45I'll change everything.
42:47I gently shook my head.
42:48My voice wasn't loud,
42:49but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
42:52Sean, I don't hate you.
42:53A glimmer of light lit up in Sean's eyes,
42:56but I no longer need you.
42:57That glimmer quickly extinguished.
43:00I turned to Linda and said calmly,
43:03Linda,
43:04you kidnapped me,
43:05intended to murder me,
43:07and hired assassins to attack
43:08the interstellar Princess Conskort.
43:11My gaze turned to the interstellar guards
43:13at the hall entrance.
43:15Seize her.
43:16The guards strode forward,
43:18and handcuffs clicked around Linda's wrists.
43:22Linda began to scream.
43:25No!
43:25It wasn't me!
43:27It's a misunderstanding!
43:28She struggled desperately,
43:30her voice sharp and grating,
43:32becoming more and more distorted.
43:33Completely unlike me now,
43:35Sean stared at her blankly,
43:37as if seeing this person for the first time.
43:40The Lord slowly spoke from the high platform.
43:42Sean Astor,
43:43in consideration of your past service to the Star Region,
43:45I shall not hold you accountable for negligence,
43:48but from this day forward
43:49you shall no longer serve
43:50as the military advisor of the Sixth Star City,
43:52and will be transferred
43:53to the 12th Border Star Region for garrison duty.
43:55The 12th Border Star Region,
43:57the most destillate and dangerous frontier in the galaxy,
43:59everyone knew in their hearts.
44:01This was exile.
44:02Sean didn't argue.
44:03He looked at me one last time,
44:05deeply,
44:05then turned and walked out of the hall.
44:07His departing figure stretched very,
44:09very long under the starlight.
44:13You say I stole your wife?
44:15Leon stepped down the stairs
44:17and stood before Sean.
44:19When did you ever treat her as a wife?
44:22She saved your life
44:23and destroyed her voice for you.
44:25What you repaid her with
44:26was coldness time and again,
44:27allowing her to be framed,
44:28and on her birthday,
44:29taking another woman
44:30to watch the Starship parade.
44:32Sean Astor,
44:32are you even worthy of the word wife?
44:35A deathly silence filled the hall.
44:37Sean opened his mouth,
44:39wanting to say something,
44:40but couldn't utter a single word.
44:43He looked at me.
44:45My expression was calm,
44:47without a single ripple.
44:49I'm sorry.
44:51I know I was wrong.
44:53Please come back, okay?
44:54I'll change everything.
44:55I gently shook my head.
44:57My voice wasn't loud,
44:58but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
45:01Don,
45:01I don't hate you.
45:02A glimmer of light lit up in Sean's eyes,
45:05but I no longer need you.
45:06That glimmer quickly extinguished.
45:09I turned to Linda and said calmly,
45:11Linda,
45:13you kidnapped me,
45:14intended to murder me,
45:16and hired assassins to attack
45:17the interstellar Princess Concord.
45:19My gaze turned to the interstellar guards
45:22at the hall entrance.
45:24Seize her.
45:25The guard strode forward,
45:27and handcuffs clicked around Linda's wrists.
45:31Linda began to scream.
45:33No!
45:34It wasn't me!
45:35It's a misunderstanding!
45:37She struggled desperately,
45:39her voice sharp and grating,
45:40becoming more and more distorted.
45:42Completely unlikely now,
45:44Sean stared at her blankly,
45:46as if seeing this person for the first time.
45:49The Lord slowly spoke from the high platform.
45:51Sean asked her,
45:52in consideration of your past service
45:53to the Star Region,
45:54I shall not hold you accountable for negligence.
45:56But from this day forward,
45:58you shall no longer serve
45:59as the military advisor of the Sixth Star City,
46:00and will be transferred
46:01to the Twelfth Border Star Region
46:03for garrison duty.
46:04The Twelfth Border Star Region,
46:05the most destillate and dangerous frontier
46:07in the galaxy,
46:08everyone knew in their hearts.
46:10This was exile.
46:11Sean didn't argue.
46:12He looked at me one last time,
46:14deeply,
46:14then turned and walked out of the hall.
46:16His departing figure stretched
46:17very, very long under the starlight.
46:19The coronation ceremony
46:21was completed under everyone's glaze.
46:24Leon placed the Valentine family's
46:25nebula crest in my hair,
46:27bent down,
46:28and whispered in my ear.
46:30I told you I would let you speak.
46:32So that every word you utter
46:33will be heard by someone.
46:35I smiled.
46:36Tiny fragments of light
46:37at the corners of my eyes.
46:39After the banquet ended,
46:40Leon led me out of the hall,
46:42standing on the highest observation
46:44tip of the Lord's Star.
46:45Leon gazed at the distant nebula,
46:48his voice slow.
46:49The first time I saw you
46:50was when Sean brought you
46:52to the inauguration ceremony.
46:54You stood in the corridor
46:55waiting for him for four hours,
46:57and you just sent his assistant out
46:58to say wait a bit longer.
46:59At that moment,
47:00I thought if she were my wife,
47:02I wouldn't let her wait
47:03for even a single second.
47:04I tilted my head and looked at him.
47:06So you started liking me
47:08from that time?
47:09Ahem.
47:10Leon coughed unnaturally,
47:12the tips of his ears slightly red.
47:15I didn't.
47:16It was just a sense of justice.
47:19I laughed out loud.
47:21Leon paused and looked down at me.
47:22His gaze slowly softened,
47:25and he wrapped me in his military coat.
47:28Laugh.
47:28He said softly.
47:30Every day from now on.
