Transcript

00:01My sister got pregnant with a crimson dragonling effortlessly on the very first try.

00:06The crimson king was overjoyed and immediately locked in the seventh prince's place as heir to the throne.

00:13Instead, I only bore a low-tier black dragonling.

00:17Prince Tristan, disgusted by the black dragon's inferior bloodline,

00:21drove his sword through my son's heart, cut him down for his stone.

00:26He had chosen me for my beauty, certain that between our looks we would produce a high-tier crimson dragonling.

00:31But after we wed, I couldn't get pregnant.

00:33He lost interest and filled his manor with concubines.

00:36He spent every night with them and mocked me whenever he remembered I existed.

00:40To fall pregnant with a dragonling, I exhausted every means I had.

00:43I seduced him. I used a love philtra.

00:45Finally, I succeeded.

00:47But after 12 months, I delivered only a black dragonling.

00:50The dragonling was dim-witted and ugly.

00:52It shamed Tristan before the entire court.

00:54Rumors spread that this was his punishment for keeping concubines and neglecting his wife.

00:59The Crimson King believed it completely.

01:01After all, in all the centuries of the clan's history,

01:03no prince's consort had ever produced a dragonling of such low standing.

01:07He stripped Prince Tristan of his title on the spot and confined him to his estate,

01:11forbidden from entering the royal court without a summons.

01:14Tristan took out every drop of that rage on me and a dragonling.

01:17He had no dragonling butchered.

01:18Then he threw me into the obliate and tormented me day after day.

01:22When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day father sent us to court.

01:25I watched Prince Tristan walk straight toward my sister and pull her into his arms.

01:29I knew then, he had been reborn too.

01:31What they did not know was that Prince Tristan was, in truth, nothing but a black serpent fiend.

01:35No matter how hard a black serpent fiend tried, it could never sire a high-tier crimson dragonling.

01:40He had lived an entire lifetime and still had not figured that out.

01:44Though everyone had questions about Prince Tristan's choice, no one voiced them.

01:48After all, no one was going to say it to Mia's face, that she was plain, and ask Prince Tristan

01:53to reconsider.

01:54Is there any prince who fancies the other young lady?

01:57They were baffled.

01:58Why had the third prince, when I was clearly the superior in both looks and figures, chosen my sister instead,

02:04did I have some hidden ailment they weren't aware of?

02:07What, does no one want her? I find this young lady quite lovely.

02:10You?

02:11Your Majesty, I am still quite young. I am in no hurry to wed.

02:15The seventh prince?

02:16Your Majesty, I still wish to train for a few more years.

02:19Someone, see her home.

02:22Cecily, what good is your pretty face if no one wants you?

02:25Aye, aye, aye. Naturally, I have none of your good fortune.

02:28What was the point of winning an argument now? We'll see who laughs last.

02:34Three days later, Prince Tristan welcomed my sister back to the royal court with a mile-long bridal procession.

02:40Far grander than anything I had experienced in my previous life.

02:43Everyone marveled at Mia's luck.

02:45Everyone praised the House of the Red Dragon for not being swayed by a beautiful face.

02:49A face that lovely, yet the third prince wouldn't look at her.

02:53She must have already been caught carrying on with some other dragon.

02:56I saw her with my own eyes, together with a black dragon.

02:59They said it like they had been there themselves.

03:01I knew exactly who was behind it.

03:03Tristan couldn't stand to see me walk away unscathed, and my suitors believed every word of it.

03:08Not one came looking for me again, let alone propose.

03:11Mia's first visit home as a married woman came sooner than I expected.

03:15She arrived full of smiles, happy and glowing, draped in silk and glittering with jewels seen from a distance.

03:21She looked every inch the great lady.

03:26Cecily, so the rumors are true after all.

03:29You really are shameless.

03:31You would even try to seduce your own brother-in-law.

03:33Mia, do not trouble yourself.

03:35A woman like her is beneath my notice.

03:38Cecily, we grew up together.

03:39I had no idea you were sneaking out to meet men in secret.

03:42This damages not only your own name, but father's heart as well.

03:45Still, since it has already happened, do not be too distressed.

03:48I will work with my husband to find you a match.

03:53The two of you really do put on quite a performance.

03:57And Mia, rather than busying yourself with my marriage, you would do better to think about how you are going

04:01to fall pregnant and bear a crimson dragonling.

04:04Because until you do, I would not call your position here secure.

04:07I am father's personally cultivated blessed vessel, and my husband is of noble crimson dragon blood.

04:12We will have our crimson dragonling very soon.

04:15Once I give birth and the child raises my station, worry about your own marriage.

04:19Father is furious with you, confined you to the estate, last I heard.

04:22If I had not come home today, you would still be shut in your own courtyard doing penance, would you

04:27not?

04:30Cecily, do not be angry.

04:31Prince Tristan is not the only crimson dragon prince in this world.

04:34If Mia can bear a draggling, so can you.

04:36Good, Alma.

04:37You are the only one who has always believed in me.

04:39You are right.

04:40If Mia can bear one, so can I.

04:42That is all well and good, but what exactly is your plan?

04:44The only crimson dragon princes are the ones at court, and every one of them has already seen you and

04:48turned you down.

04:48Do not worry.

04:49I already have something in mind.

04:51It was only after I married into the house of the red dragon in my previous life that I learned

04:56of it.

04:56Deep in the abyss beside the dungeons, there lived an ancient gold dragon.

05:00I had no idea of his origins, or why he lived there.

05:03Whether he was good or evil, I knew nothing.

05:06What I did know was that shortly after I delivered the black dragonling,

05:09the ancient gold dragon's core ruptured for no reason anyone could name.

05:13The Crimson King's fury over the black dragonling had been tied to that event.

05:16They said a gold dragon's core rupturing was an omen of doom.

05:20The Crimson King immediately connected it to my dragonling and stripped Prince Tristan of his title on the spot.

05:29Cecily, this is an ancient gold dragon, tens of thousands of years old, and you do not even know if

05:32he is good or evil.

05:33It's the best option I have.

05:37I have an aphrodisiac.

05:40No color, no scent.

05:41I will slip inside and...

05:46I only need a little while.

05:47I never imagined that in this life, I would be putting those same tricks to use on an ancient gold

05:52dragon.

05:52That night, once everyone had fallen asleep, I slipped out through the back gate.

05:56I knew the path to the abyss by heart.

05:59Prince Tristan had once swallowed his mother's Crimson Dragon Corps to hold his Crimson form together,

06:03but a black serpent's blood was no match for a Crimson Corps.

06:08Every 15th of the month, he had to come to the abyss to draw in spiritual energy.

06:13I had only discovered his secret because I had followed him here once,

06:16hoping to run into him and win back his attention.

06:19This time, I made it to the gold dragon's cavern without difficulty.

06:23I reached into my pocket and drew out the aphrodisiac incense.

06:41Help me.

06:43So you came prepared.

06:44Then I will be sure to oblige you.

06:46Open your mouth.

06:47I will give you half my golden corn.

06:49Otherwise, your body will not be able to withstand this.

06:55Where have you been?

06:56Little sister, look at the state of you.

06:58Surely you have not Cecily.

06:59Do you think you really are exactly as the rumors say?

07:02I have not done anything.

07:03Then why do you look like that?

07:04Never mind.

07:05Your sister has been concerned about your marriage prospects

07:07and went to the trouble of asking Prince Tristan to find you a match.

07:10The Earthworm Baron.

07:11He has advanced in years, it is true, but earthworms are still a form of earth dragon.

07:15You cannot marry a true Crimson Dragon.

07:17Marrying an earth dragon is at least one less thing for father to worry about.

07:19The Earthworm Baron.

07:21If I remembered correctly, this Baron was old enough to be my grandfather.

07:25He was also known for brutalizing women.

07:27Hundreds of women had died at his hands.

07:29Maybe more.

07:30I will not marry him.

07:32Ungrateful girl!

07:35Are you trying to send me to an early grave?

07:38You should be grateful that the Earthworm Baron would even look at you.

07:41If father had not spent years cultivating you as a blessed vessel,

07:45do you think he would give you a second glance?

07:47Cecily, just agree to it.

07:48This decision has never been yours to make.

07:50Push father any further and you will have no one left to blame but yourself.

07:53Cecily, it is only a marriage contract.

07:55All you need to do is sign your name.

07:56I will not sign it.

07:57If someone else is so eager, they can sign it themselves.

07:59This is not your decision to make.

08:01Guards, hold her!

08:12You truly do not know your place.

08:15You truly do not know your place.

08:31I would rather die.

08:33Do not damage her before the contract is sealed.

08:36You may not care what happens to you, Cecily,

08:38but perhaps you care what happens to that mandrake maid of yours.

08:45Cecily, do not sign!

08:50Sign it or father will have your little maid sent to the alchemists.

08:53I hear mandrake roots are worth far more once they have been rendered down.

08:57Please do not do this for me.

09:00Good girl.

09:00Stop!

09:19Cecily belongs to me.

09:21She will marry no one but me.

09:27My lady, have you forgotten me so soon?

09:30Are you the one Cecily has been carrying on with?

09:32You dare follow her all the way here?

09:34You are nothing and you have the nerve to walk in here?

09:36Who are you?

09:40Auririus.

09:43Never heard of you.

09:45Young man, my daughter's betrothed is being settled today.

09:48Whatever history you two have, it makes no difference now.

09:50Father, if this man and Cecily have feelings for each other,

09:53why stand in their way?

09:54Why not do right by little sister and let her marry him instead?

09:56She thought no one knew what she was doing,

09:58but the moment he spoke, I knew.

10:00If I married Baron Earthworm, I would at least be a baroness.

10:04But if I married the man standing before me,

10:06I would become a laughing stock to everyone.

10:10What, you used me and now you have forgotten me already?

10:14Aye, aye.

10:21Cecily, are you certain you want to marry him?

10:24Yes, very well.

10:26If you are set on it, father will not stand in your way.

10:28Cecily, throwing away a baron for a man nobody has ever heard of.

10:31I truly cannot tell.

10:32Is this devotion or is it stupidity?

10:34With you, Cecily, I suspect it may be both.

10:36I went to considerable trouble to find you this match.

10:38Since you do not want him, I will just take this contract back with me.

10:41Whatever concerns Cecily is no longer your business.

10:43If you have nothing further to say, don't let us keep you.

10:46We have a wedding to arrange.

10:48Fine.

10:49You two enjoy arranging your wedding.

10:50I will see myself out.

10:55So then, Cecily, will you marry me?

11:00Three days from now, I will come for you.

11:02Be ready.

11:11How did it go, Cecily?

11:12Did everything go smoothly?

11:18Is there already a little one in here?

11:20I need to make sure you are well nourished.

11:23Cecily, this is precious.

11:25Starting today, you must take mandra broth every single day.

11:28Are you not afraid of pulling yourself bald?

11:31I forgot to tell you.

11:33I am getting married in three days.

11:35To whom?

11:36Married to whom?

11:39The ancient gold dragon.

11:45What?

11:47Cecily, this...

11:51Three days passed quickly.

11:53On the day of the wedding, the sky did not hold.

11:55Rain began falling from early morning and showed no sign of stopping.

11:59My heart was pounding.

12:00I kept feeling as though something bad was about to happen.

12:09Little sister, what is going on?

12:11The weather has been perfectly fine these past few days.

12:14Why does it have to pour on the one day you are getting married?

12:17With rain like this, who knows if your groom will even show up?

12:20Prince Tristan smiled.

12:21Cold and contemptuous.

12:24Someone as low as you getting married, of course.

12:27Alma couldn't take it anymore.

12:29What do either of you know?

12:30My lady's husband is of the highest standing.

12:32Of course there would be signs in the heavens on his wedding day.

12:36Mia burst out laughing.

12:40Highest standing?

12:41He has nothing to his name but his own two feet.

12:44Someone called out.

12:45Look, the groom is here.

12:47Everyone turned at once.

12:51Aurelius rode at the front on a tall horse,

12:53dressed in a red wedding robe embroidered in gold thread

12:56with a five-clawed golden dragon.

12:58When the horse drew level with me,

13:00Aurelius dismounted in one-looking motion.

13:04Attendants began unloading chests from the carts one by one.

13:08As chest after chest of gold and jewels were set down,

13:11Mia's face went pale.

13:16Who on earth is this groom?

13:17Not only does he outshine the third prince in looks,

13:20even his wedding puts the third princes to shame.

13:22She reached into the nearest chest

13:24and lifted out a jade pendant.

13:26Just worthless trinkets.

13:27Enough to dazzle people who have never seen anything of value.

13:30I would not call these worthless.

13:32That jade scepter, it looks like a relic from the ancient age.

13:35If it were damaged, the consequences would be unthinkable.

13:38Impossible.

13:39A nobody like him, where would he get relics like these?

13:42I refuse to believe it.

13:44With that, she let the jade pendant slip from her fingers.

13:48It struck the ground and split in two.

13:50A smirk spread across Mia's face.

13:53Oh dear, Cicely.

13:55My hand slipped.

13:56You are not going to blame me, are you?

13:59If Prince Tristan not yanked Mia aside in that instant,

14:02it would have struck her dead.

14:06That was just a coincidence.

14:08Simply a coincidence.

14:10But no one was listening.

14:11Anyone old enough to know what they were looking at

14:13could see it plainly.

14:16This man is no ordinary figure.

14:18To possess so many relics like these.

14:22Did you not see that lightning?

14:24A relic sealed for a thousand years or more,

14:26nothing else would draw down a bolt like that.

14:27He seems even more powerful than the Third Prince.

14:30How has no one ever heard of him before?

14:31He fixed his gaze on Aurelius.

14:34I let their words wash over me,

14:36my eyes finding Aurelius across the crowd.

14:39Cicely, you are beautiful.

14:41The next moment,

14:42he slowly drew half a golden core from his mouth.

14:45It floated in the air,

14:47blazing with golden light.

14:50Cicely, I only gave you half last time.

14:53Let me give you the other half now.

14:56The golden core drifted slowly into my mouth and disappeared.

15:00The light faded with it.

15:01For a moment,

15:02no one moved.

15:05Then the crowd erupted.

15:08Is that a gold dragon?

15:10An ancient gold dragon has emerged?

15:13It is a gold dragon.

15:15What he just produced was a golden core.

15:17He gave his golden core to Cicely.

15:19Aurelius took my hand

15:20and helped me into the wedding carriage.

15:22He was just about to draw the curtain closed

15:24when Prince Tristan seized my hand.

15:27Aurelius wrenched it free and stepped between us.

15:30My lady is no concern of yours.

15:34Prince Tristan, you already have a wife.

15:36Do not tell me you have designs on mine as well.

15:39Then again, I can hardly blame you for looking.

15:41Your wife is simply not as pretty as mine.

15:44She drew breath to speak,

15:46but one look from Aurelius stopped her cold.

15:48A woman like her.

15:50You know what they say about her.

15:52How could she possibly be worthy

15:54of an ancient gold dragon?

15:56Do not let her deceive you.

15:59My lady is no concern of yours.

16:01The carriage rose,

16:02lifting us free of the ground outside.

16:04I heard Mia's voice from below.

16:06A gold dragon today.

16:08But when that dragonling comes out black,

16:10and it will,

16:11let us see how long he stays.

16:16On our wedding night,

16:17I never could have imagined that our bridal chamber

16:20would turn out to be the cavern den in the abyss.

16:22Aurelius was still outside drinking toasts with the guests.

16:29My face went warm.

16:32My Cecily.

16:33Whatever are you thinking about?

16:36Aurelius's voice came from right behind me.

16:39I nearly cried out.

16:40My lady is very entertaining.

16:45He laughed.

16:46He helped me to the bed

16:47and reached out to undo my garments.

16:50I stopped him quickly.

16:54That, I would rather not tonight.

16:57I, um...

16:59My gaze dropped to my still flat belly.

17:03Aurelius bit back a laugh

17:04and flicked my nose.

17:06Is that all that is on my lady's mind?

17:08I only meant for us to sleep.

17:10Aurelius held me in his arms.

17:14Cecily, you are beautiful.

17:15I have thought so since the moment I first saw you.

17:18Sometime later,

17:19Alma came flying through the door

17:20and told me she had confirmed it.

17:23Cecily!

17:23You really are expecting.

17:25How long before you start to show?

17:28I nodded.

17:30She pressed her hand to my belly.

17:33From that point on,

17:34Alma was like a woman possessed.

17:36She delivered mandrake broth three times a day.

17:38I watched her hair growing thinner and thinner

17:40and couldn't help but laugh.

17:42It doesn't matter.

17:44I would pull myself bald if I had to.

17:46And at least a bare head would be cooler.

17:50Mia and Prince Tristan heard the news soon enough.

17:53Aurelius worried about me going out.

17:55So he kept me inside the cavern den.

17:57On ordinary days I would sit and talk with Alma,

18:00the two of us making little garments

18:01and tiny shoes for the baby.

18:04This little boot is so small.

18:06I can barely hold it between my fingers.

18:09Aurelius would occasionally bring things back.

18:11A cradle,

18:12a rattle,

18:13a stuffed toy,

18:14little clothes.

18:15Both of us were waiting eagerly for this child to arrive.

18:18Then one day,

18:19Alma came rushing in,

18:20breathless.

18:21That should not be possible.

18:23Mia is with child as well.

18:23Going by the timeline of my previous life,

18:26Mia wasn't supposed to fall pregnant for several more years.

18:30The royal court held a grand banquet.

18:33Every person of standing in the clan attended.

18:35At the banquet,

18:36Prince Tristan lavished attention on Mia,

18:39asking after her comfort,

18:40wiping her brow,

18:41personally requesting two cushions for her to lean against.

18:44I paid them no attention

18:46and simply let Aurelius feed me the next morsel he had chosen.

18:52After several rounds of wine,

18:53the Crimson King was in high spirits.

18:57It has been a long time

18:58since the House of the Red Dragon

19:00has had occasion to celebrate like this.

19:03Two dragonlings on the way at once.

19:09Look how you are carrying.

19:10Very pointed.

19:12Let us hope it is not a black draggling in there.

19:14That would be a disgrace to the entire House of the Red Dragon.

19:18I met his eyes.

19:20My husband is an ancient gold dragon.

19:22My child will naturally be of the highest standing.

19:24Since you have so much energy to spare worrying about my belly,

19:26you would do better to worry about your own wife.

19:28A father passes down what he is,

19:29not what he pretends to be.

19:30Make sure you are not the one producing something beneath expectations

19:32and then shifting the blame onto my sister.

19:35Cecilia, my husband meant it kindly.

19:37Can you not show a little gratitude?

19:40Is that so?

19:41Then I meant it kindly as well.

19:43Enough!

19:44You are both carrying children.

19:46Your moods are what matter most right now.

19:52Time moved quickly.

19:54Before long,

19:55both Mia and I had reached the end of our pregnancies.

19:58Our due days arriving almost together.

20:00The Crimson King had originally planned to place both birthing chambers together.

20:04But Aurelius arranged for mine to be inside the cavern den.

20:09A dull ache began spreading through my belly.

20:11I bit down on my lip and bore it in silence.

20:14I had been through labor once before.

20:16I knew this was only the beginning.

20:18At least another ten hours of this.

20:22Aurelius saw that I had bitten my lip bloodless, my forehead soaked with cold sweat.

20:26He pressed his hands to my back and poured his own strength into me.

20:30Alma fed me mandrake, broth one careful spoonful at a time.

20:33With Aurelius' strength and Alma's broth, the pain eased considerably.

20:39I don't know how long I endured, but the contractions quickened.

20:42Clutching Aurelius' hand, I pushed with all my strength.

20:45A dragon's cry echoed through the cavern.

20:47The midwife lifted the swaddled infant, trembling.

20:51Its scales glowed warm gold in the firelight.

20:53Like sunlight.

20:54It's a gold dragonlet.

20:56It really is.

20:58Aurelius kissed my forehead, his hand shaking.

21:01You did it.

21:02Alma pressed warm broth to my lips, crying and smiling.

21:06I turned weakly and watched the tiny golden bundle.

21:09The little gold dragonling grew every day, always chasing Aurelius' tail.

21:15Alma planted mandrake by the cave.

21:17The whole den smelled sweet when she brewed broth.

21:20Every evening, Aurelius held me at the cave mouth, watching the dragonling chase its shadow at sunset.

21:26I leaned against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

21:30All my past pain was worth it.

21:32A family together.

21:33Always.

21:36Mia lay on the delivery bed.

21:40Breathe, Mia.

21:41Deep, slow breaths.

21:43Push with the contraction.

21:45Outside the birthing chamber door, Tristan paced back and forth, the soles of his boots,

21:49grinding against the stone floor in rabid, restless rhythm.

21:52The baby is here.

21:57Tristan flung the door open and rushed inside.

22:00The moment he laid eyes on the dragonling, his excitement froze on his lips,

22:04replaced by a surging, volcanic rage.

22:07Why a black dragonling?

22:09Why?

22:11Mia reached out weakly, trying to stop him, murmuring something, but he could not hear a single word.

22:16This isn't right.

22:18This isn't right.

22:19Must kill it.

22:20Must kill it.

22:25Bring the dragonling to me.

22:28The king's sharp command rang out, and the guards surged forward to block Tristan's path.

22:33For what?

22:34Throw Tristan into the dungeon.

22:36The king's sharp command.

22:37The king's sharp command.

22:39The king's sharp command.

22:40The king's sharp command.
