Transcript

00:00:04I fell into the hands of the most ruthless siren in the deep sea.

00:00:08I survived by lying to his face, convincing him I was his fiancée.

00:00:13The good news, I'm alive, and the monster king has a five-year-old son who calls me mommy.

00:00:19Mother!

00:00:19The bad news, he despises liars.

00:00:22Everyone who's ever lied to him has been eaten.

00:00:24Then his enemies find out the truth, and they want me and the kid dead.

00:00:30Now the only thing standing between me and the abyss is the one secret he can never know.

00:00:35The submarine's engine had exploded, dragging me down into the forbidden trench beneath the sea court.

00:00:40The water was pitch black.

00:00:41My suit was destroyed.

00:00:43I should have been drowning.

00:00:44A perfect catalyst.

00:00:46Oxygen suddenly filled my lungs.

00:00:48I was breathing underwater.

00:00:49Then I smelled blood.

00:00:51A lot of blood.

00:00:52A tall, terrifying figure glided out of the darkness.

00:00:55Black scales rippled over his chest, his blue eyes cold and lifeless.

00:01:05Your blood will wake the power sleeping inside me.

00:01:10You can't kill me!

00:01:14I'm your fiancée.

00:01:16Everything went dead silent.

00:01:21What do you mean by that?

00:01:22My mind raced.

00:01:23I'd taken the right gamble.

00:01:24I'd read the classified oceanographic files before the die.

00:01:27They mentioned an ancient siren kingdom beneath this trench.

00:01:30The files warned that sirens were utterly ruthless, except to their mates, whom they protected with violent devotion.

00:01:35A mysterious high-energy blast in these waters last year had wiped the memories of every creature down here.

00:01:41If he was one of them, I could bullshit my way out of this.

00:01:44I came looking for you.

00:01:45I wiped away tears, spinning the saddest love story possible.

00:01:52We've been engaged since we were kids.

00:01:54After your accident, you lost your memory.

00:01:57But I never stopped searching for you.

00:01:59Father!

00:02:00He's lying!

00:02:01I froze.

00:02:02A little boy swam out of the shadows.

00:02:04He had dark hair and icy golden eyes, looking like a mini replica of the Lethal Prince.

00:02:09A glowing blue pearl flowed above his tiny palm.

00:02:12Let's verify it.

00:02:13Before I could run, he grabbed my wrist.

00:02:15A searing wave of heat shot through my veins.

00:02:18A silver-blue mark lit up my skin like a crescent moon under the sea.

00:02:22Lucian?

00:02:24Father!

00:02:25She is not your fiancée!

00:02:27My heart stopped.

00:02:28Game over.

00:02:29The kids saw straight through me.

00:02:30I closed my eyes, waiting for the claws to tear me apart.

00:02:34I think she's my mommy!

00:02:42Before I could process what happened,

00:02:44Kale's massive tail whipped around my waist,

00:02:47yanking me down into the freezing darkness of the deep abyss.

00:02:51Lucian swam effortlessly beside us.

00:02:54Shapes moved inside the dark coral walls,

00:02:57jagged teeth and glowing eyes watching me like I was a fresh meal.

00:03:00The second Kale swept past,

00:03:02every shadow recoiled in sheer terror.

00:03:05Goosebumps erupted over my skin.

00:03:06The moment Kale's tail loosened,

00:03:08I panicked and grabbed onto his bare waist for safety.

00:03:10He paused.

00:03:11But surprisingly, he didn't shake me off.

00:03:14Instead, he dragged us straight into a forgotten, abandoned palace deep in the abyss.

00:03:19Taking one cautious step,

00:03:21I kicked a heavy golden trunk and lost my balance.

00:03:29You can't see?

00:03:32Did I seriously father an heir with a night-blind woman?

00:03:35My mouth twitched, but I looked right toward his voice.

00:04:06I can't see in the dark,

00:04:08The entire pitch-black palace was instantly bathed in a breathtaking dreamlike azul glow.

00:04:12I let out a long breath,

00:04:14turned to the lethal siren and gave him my warmest smile.

00:04:16Since you don't remember the past,

00:04:18let's start over.

00:04:19My name is Elena.

00:04:23Kale.

00:04:25Obviously, he didn't fully buy my story.

00:04:27I had no powers and zero chance of surviving this monster-infested ocean floor on my own.

00:04:32To stay alive, I had to chain myself to him and his kid.

00:04:34Kale's unblinking golden eyes stared right through me.

00:04:37You claim to be my fiancé.

00:04:38Where is the proof?

00:04:39I reached for the pendant around my neck,

00:04:41a worn silver half-moon shell.

00:04:42I'd been wearing it when they rushed me to the hospital after the last dive accident.

00:04:45I had no idea where it came from,

00:04:46but that didn't stop me from making up a story on the spot.

00:04:49This was your promise token to me.

00:04:53You have the other half.

00:04:54When the two moonshells join,

00:04:56they form the royal crest.

00:04:58It means we can never be parted.

00:05:03Then why do I not have it?

00:05:05You were caught in that terrible explosion.

00:05:08My voice trembled perfectly as I forced tears into my eyes.

00:05:13Even if you lost it in the chaos,

00:05:15it doesn't matter.

00:05:16As long as you're alive,

00:05:17that's enough for me.

00:05:18I closed the distance and pressed myself against his rock-hard chest,

00:05:22striking right at his heart.

00:05:23You never used to look at me so coldly.

00:05:25I whispered,

00:05:27resting my hand over his pounding pulse.

00:05:29You used to say I was your greatest treasure,

00:05:31that if I called you husband,

00:05:33you would give your life for me.

00:05:39Our bond can't just disappear, right?

00:05:43A faint, unexpected flush of red spread across the sea prince's cheeks.

00:05:47He jolted, shoving me away as he retreated to the palace doors.

00:05:50Foolish human!

00:05:51Do not think I will fall for your words so easily!

00:05:54With that, he fled into the dark waters.

00:05:58I sat back on the coral throne,

00:06:00wiped my fake tears,

00:06:02and snit it.

00:06:03He actually blushed.

00:06:05Outside,

00:06:06the terrifying siren lord leaned against the marble pillar,

00:06:09the tips of his pointed ears burning red.

00:06:14Lucian,

00:06:15she might actually be my mate.

00:06:17What do I do?

00:06:18She looked at me like she wanted to eat me alive.

00:06:24Over the next few days,

00:06:25Kyle barely showed up.

00:06:27He only returned to toss me looted human canned food

00:06:29and pretty dresses,

00:06:30then vanished back into the deep.

00:06:32I felt like a stray pet.

00:06:35Luckily,

00:06:35Lucian sneaked over daily,

00:06:37his golden eyes sparkling as he munched on spam.

00:06:41My heart softened,

00:06:43but I kept my focus.

00:06:45Lucian,

00:06:46is there a secret pathway back to the surface?

00:06:48Before he could answer,

00:06:49the water outside churred violently.

00:06:51Kale staggered in,

00:06:52dropped a tin of tuna into my lap,

00:06:54and collapsed onto the stone floor.

00:06:56Kale!

00:06:57Pulling aside his blood-soaked toque,

00:06:59I sucked in a breath.

00:07:00A bone-deep wound gabed across his chest,

00:07:03oozing black, venomous blood.

00:07:04Outside,

00:07:05dozens of scrimmin' eyes glided in the dark,

00:07:07scavenger monsters smelling weakness.

00:07:09Gritting my teeth,

00:07:10I dragged him onto the giant cab bed.

00:07:12I tore a strip from my dress.

00:07:14Then I hastily wiped the black blood from his wound.

00:07:17Lucian!

00:07:17Medicine!

00:07:18Lucian swam frantically to a shelf

00:07:20and grabbed a black healing pill,

00:07:21handing it straight to me.

00:07:22I tried to force it into Kale's mouth,

00:07:24but his jaw was locked tight in unconsciousness.

00:07:26Mommy!

00:07:27Pass him the pill with your mouth!

00:07:28Give father CPR or a kiss!

00:07:30You've watched too many human movies!

00:07:32If my hands can't pry it open,

00:07:33how will a kiss work?

00:07:34True love's kiss cures everything!

00:07:36Fine.

00:07:37Why argue with a five-year-old?

00:07:38I straddled Kale's hips

00:07:39and forcibly pried at his jaw.

00:07:41Kale!

00:07:41You can't die!

00:07:42If you die, I'm doomed!

00:07:43Oh, mommy is dying for love!

00:07:45If father dies,

00:07:45she won't live either!

00:07:48I accidentally popped Kale's jaw

00:07:50right out of place.

00:07:53At that exact moment,

00:07:55those icy golden eyes slowly opened,

00:07:57staring coldly straight into mine.

00:08:03Kale!

00:08:03You're awake!

00:08:06Kale stared dead black,

00:08:08raising a hand to snap his jaw back into place

00:08:10with a dry crack.

00:08:11Get off me.

00:08:15I scrambled away immediately.

00:08:17The pill worked magic.

00:08:18His black blood stopped flowing within seconds.

00:08:21Pushing himself up,

00:08:23his tunic slipped to reveal a scarred, muscular chest.

00:08:26You were dying!

00:08:27I only removed your tunic to check the wound.

00:08:30Besides, we're engaged.

00:08:31It's not like I haven't seen it before.

00:08:32Do that again,

00:08:33and I'll slit your throat.

00:08:35I breathed a sigh of relief.

00:08:37Classic tough guy ocean lord.

00:08:38Suddenly,

00:08:39my heart violently constructed.

00:08:41A wave of bone-chilling frost erupted from my veins,

00:08:45turning my blood to ice.

00:08:49White mist escaped my lips.

00:08:54What's wrong with you?

00:08:56Father!

00:08:57She touched your siren venom when wiping your chest!

00:08:59Pure survival instinct took over.

00:09:02Craving warmth,

00:09:03I lunged forward,

00:09:03throwing my arms around Kale's neck.

00:09:05Let go, human.

00:09:07Sharp black claws suddenly extended from his fingertips,

00:09:10pressing against my throat.

00:09:11Father!

00:09:12Mommy just kissed you,

00:09:14and she said she wants to die for you!

00:09:16She...

00:09:16What?

00:09:17Kale,

00:09:19don't leave me.

00:09:22For a long moment,

00:09:23the rager-sharp claws hanging above my throat slowly retracted,

00:09:27Kale's fingers awkwardly sinking into my damp hair.

00:09:31Troublesome human.

00:09:32I don't die that easily.

00:09:34He scoffed,

00:09:35voice laced with panic.

00:09:36Lifting my freezing hand,

00:09:38he spotted the black mark on my finger.

00:09:40Stupid girl.

00:09:41He muttered,

00:09:42lowering his head,

00:09:43taking my finger into his mouth,

00:09:45his warm tongue wrapped around the wound,

00:09:47metinimally sucking out the venom into his own body.

00:09:51It was the best sleep I'd had since arriving in this abyss.

00:09:55When I blinked open my eyes,

00:09:56the icy venom was gone,

00:09:58but terror instantly struck.

00:10:00My face was pressed against a cold, muscular chest.

00:10:02My arms locked around Kale's waist.

00:10:05I snapped my head up,

00:10:06straight into a pair of bloodshot golden eyes.

00:10:09Enjoying the hug?

00:10:12Kale's raspy voice rasped.

00:10:14He hadn't slept a wink.

00:10:18Kale!

00:10:19You're fully healed?

00:10:22Kale gave me a chilling look,

00:10:24flexed his numb arm,

00:10:25and pulled on his dark tunic.

00:10:29Where are you going?

00:10:32To hunt.

00:10:35He spit coldly,

00:10:37vanishing into the abyss.

00:10:39So that's why he left every day.

00:10:41In this ruthless siren territory,

00:10:43it was kill or be killed.

00:10:44To survive,

00:10:45he had to keep hunting the wild oceanette beasts.

00:10:48This place was a lethal battleground.

00:10:50I had to find a way out.

00:10:52While Kale was gone,

00:10:53Lucien stayed behind.

00:10:54Seeing the kid shivering from the cold left behind by the venom,

00:10:57I coaxed him over,

00:10:58wrapping him in my dry coat

00:10:59and feeding him the rest of the canned meat.

00:11:01As I gently combed his dark hair,

00:11:03I tried to gather intel.

00:11:05Lucien,

00:11:05Can humans really never survive in the ocean without Kale?

00:11:08Lucien looked up with pure trust,

00:11:10pulling out a glowing blue orb,

00:11:12the siren's pearl.

00:11:13Mommy,

00:11:14if a human swallows this,

00:11:16you can breathe underwater,

00:11:17swim freely,

00:11:18and ignore deep sea pressure forever.

00:11:20My ticket to freedom.

00:11:21Suddenly,

00:11:22a faint,

00:11:23familiar voice echoed outside.

00:11:25Lucien,

00:11:26come out.

00:11:28Father's back!

00:11:29He eagerly swam toward the grand entrance.

00:11:32I froze,

00:11:34remembering Kale's icy warning.

00:11:36Do not step outside this palace when I'm gone.

00:11:39Wait, Lucien!

00:11:42Mommy!

00:11:44Help me!

00:11:46Hands shook,

00:11:47the cold siren's pearl resting in my palm.

00:11:50Chasing after him as a helpless human meant instant death.

00:11:53Fleeing meant leaving the kid to be defoured.

00:11:56Damn it!

00:12:06Swallowing the siren royal pearl,

00:12:08the suffocating pressure vanished.

00:12:10I swam out with all my strength.

00:12:12In the gloom ahead stood a dark siren.

00:12:15His eyes glowed a deadly crimson.

00:12:17Gross,

00:12:18slimy tentacles sprout from his back,

00:12:20pinching Lucien tightly in the air.

00:12:23Mommy!

00:12:25Let him go!

00:12:27Ignoring the danger,

00:12:28I lunged forward and threw my arms around Lucien,

00:12:30using my body to shield the terrified boy.

00:12:32A sharp rock cut my cheek.

00:12:34As a single drop of my blood diffused into the icy seawater,

00:12:37dozens of crimson eyes instantly alighted in the surrounding darkness.

00:12:40The dark siren's breath hitched.

00:12:42He frantically condensed the blood with his magic and swallowed it whole,

00:12:45his eyes flaring with primal madness.

00:12:47The perfect human catalyst.

00:12:49Mine for the taking!

00:12:52The tentacles squeezed tight,

00:12:55crushing my ribs and forcing all the air from my lungs.

00:12:58I hugged Lucien tightly,

00:12:59choking in agony as darkness edged my vision.

00:13:02Father!

00:13:03Save us!

00:13:07Don't bother screaming.

00:13:09He's trapped in a deadly ambush.

00:13:11He isn't coming back.

00:13:13My heart sank into ice.

00:13:16What?

00:13:17What happened to Kale?

00:13:20He's being ripped apart by scavengers.

00:13:22Your sovereign blood could instantly restore his royal powers

00:13:26and let him reclaim the sea throne.

00:13:28Yet that fool refused to touch a single hair on you!

00:13:32My mind went completely blank.

00:13:34What?

00:13:35Instead of eating you,

00:13:36he dragged you around like a target,

00:13:38fighting off endless sea monsters day and night

00:13:41just to keep you alive.

00:13:42Since he's dying anyway,

00:13:44I'll devour you and his precious son instead.

00:13:48Who did you say you're going to devour us?

00:14:08I fell into the hands of the most ruthless siren in the deep sea.

00:14:11I survived by lying to his face,

00:14:14convincing him I was his fiancée.

00:14:16The good news,

00:14:18I'm alive,

00:14:18and the monster king has a five-year-old son who calls me mommy.

00:14:22Mother!

00:14:23The bad news,

00:14:24he despises liars.

00:14:25Everyone who's ever lied to him has been eaten.

00:14:28Then his enemies find out the truth,

00:14:30and they want me and the kid dead.

00:14:34Now the only thing standing between me and the abyss

00:14:36is the one secret he can never know.

00:14:38The submarine's engine had exploded,

00:14:41dragging me down into the forbidden trench beneath the sea court.

00:14:44The water was pitch black.

00:14:45My suit was destroyed.

00:14:46I should have been drowning.

00:14:48A perfect catalyst.

00:14:50Oxygen suddenly filled my lungs.

00:14:52I was breathing underwater.

00:14:53Then I smelled blood.

00:14:54A lot of blood.

00:14:56A tall, terrifying figure glided out of the darkness.

00:14:59Black scales rippled over his chest,

00:15:01his blue eyes cold and lifeless.

00:15:09Your blood will wake the power sleeping inside me.

00:15:14You can't kill me!

00:15:18I'm your fiancé.

00:15:20Everything went dead silent.

00:15:24What do you mean by that?

00:15:26My mind raced.

00:15:27I'd taken the right gamble.

00:15:28I'd read the classified oceanographic files before the dive.

00:15:31They mentioned an ancient siren kingdom beneath this trench.

00:15:34The files warned that sirens were utterly ruthless,

00:15:36except to their mates,

00:15:38whom they protected with violent devotion.

00:15:39A mysterious high-energy blast in these waters last year

00:15:42had wiped the memories of every creature down here.

00:15:44If he was one of them,

00:15:46I could bullshit my way out of this.

00:15:47I came looking for you.

00:15:49I wiped away tears,

00:15:51spinning the saddest love story possible.

00:15:56We've been engaged since we were kids.

00:15:58After your accident, you lost your memory,

00:16:00but I never stopped searching for you.

00:16:03Father!

00:16:04He's lying!

00:16:05I froze.

00:16:06A little boy swam out of the shadows.

00:16:07He had dark hair and icy golden eyes,

00:16:10looking like a mini replica of the Lethal Prince.

00:16:12A glowing blue pearl flowed above his tiny palm.

00:16:16Let's verify it.

00:16:17Before I could run,

00:16:18he grabbed my wrist.

00:16:19A searing wave of heat shot through my veins.

00:16:22A silver-blue mark lit up my skin

00:16:23like a crescent moon under the sea.

00:16:26Lucian?

00:16:28Father, she is not your fiancée.

00:16:31My heart stopped.

00:16:32Game over.

00:16:33The kid saw straight through me.

00:16:34I closed my eyes,

00:16:35waiting for the claws to tear me apart.

00:16:38I think she's my mommy!

00:16:46Before I could process what happened,

00:16:48Kale's massive tail whipped around my waist,

00:16:51yanking me down into the freezing darkness of the deep abyss.

00:16:55Lucian swam effortlessly beside us.

00:16:58Shapes moved inside the dark coral walls,

00:17:01jagged teeth and glowing eyes watching me like I was a fresh meal.

00:17:04The second Kale swept past,

00:17:06every shadow recoiled in sheer terror.

00:17:08Goosebumps erupted over my skin.

00:17:10The moment Kale's tail loosened,

00:17:12I panicked and grabbed onto his bare waist for safety.

00:17:14He paused.

00:17:15But surprisingly,

00:17:16he didn't shake me off.

00:17:18Instead,

00:17:18he dragged us straight into a forgotten,

00:17:20abandoned palace deep in the abyss.

00:17:23Taking one cautious step,

00:17:25I kicked a heavy golden trunk and lost my balance.

00:17:33You can't see?

00:17:36Did I seriously father an heir with a night-blind woman?

00:17:39My mouth twitched,

00:17:40but I looked right toward his voice.

00:17:43I can't see in the dark,

00:17:45yet you still insisted on marrying me.

00:17:47That only proves one thing.

00:17:49You used to love me more than life itself.

00:17:52A suffocating silence fell over the grand hall.

00:17:57Father,

00:17:58did you really love mommy that much?

00:18:03Lucien, shut up.

00:18:04Fearing I had pushed my luck too far,

00:18:06I quickly changed my tune.

00:18:08Give me a little light and I can see fine.

00:18:10Kale flicked his fingers.

00:18:11The entire pitch black palace

00:18:13was instantly bathed in a breathtaking dreamlike azu glow.

00:18:16I let out a long breath,

00:18:17turned to the lethal siren,

00:18:19and gave him my warmest smile.

00:18:20Since you don't remember the past,

00:18:22let's start over.

00:18:23My name is Elena.

00:18:26Kale.

00:18:29Obviously, he didn't fully buy my story.

00:18:31I had no powers and zero chance of surviving this monster-infested ocean floor on my own.

00:18:35To stay alive,

00:18:36I had to chain myself to him and his kid.

00:18:38Kale's unblinking golden eyes stared right through me.

00:18:41You claim to be my fiancé.

00:18:42Where is the proof?

00:18:43I reached for the pendant around my neck,

00:18:45a worn silver half-moon shell.

00:18:46I'd been wearing it when they rushed me to the hospital after the last dive accident.

00:18:49I had no idea where it came from,

00:18:50but that didn't stop me from making up a story on the spot.

00:18:53This was your promise token to me.

00:18:56You have the other half.

00:18:58When the two moonshells join,

00:19:00they form the royal crest.

00:19:01It means we can never be parted.

00:19:07Then why do I not have it?

00:19:09You were caught in that terrible explosion.

00:19:11My voice trembled perfectly as I forced tears into my eyes.

00:19:17Even if you lost it in the chaos,

00:19:19it doesn't matter.

00:19:20As long as you're alive,

00:19:21that's enough for me.

00:19:22I closed the distance

00:19:23and pressed myself against his rock-hard chest,

00:19:26striking right at his heart.

00:19:27You never used to look at me so coldly.

00:19:29I whispered,

00:19:30resting my hand over his pounding pulse.

00:19:33You used to say I was your greatest treasure,

00:19:35that if I called you husband,

00:19:36you would give your life for me.

00:19:43Our bond can't just disappear, right?

00:19:47A faint, unexpected flush of red

00:19:49spread across the Sea Prince's cheeks.

00:19:51He jolted,

00:19:51shoving me away

00:19:52as he retreated to the palace doors.

00:19:54Foolish human!

00:19:55Do not think I will fall for your words so easily.

00:19:57With that, he fled into the dark waters.

00:20:02I sat back on the coral throne,

00:20:04wiped my fake tears,

00:20:05and snit it.

00:20:07He actually blushed.

00:20:09Outside,

00:20:10the terrifying Siren Lord

00:20:11leaned against the marble pillar,

00:20:13the tips of his pointed ears

00:20:14burning red.

00:20:18Lucian,

00:20:18she might actually be my mate.

00:20:20What do I do?

00:20:21She looked at me like

00:20:22she wanted to eat me alive.

00:20:28Over the next few days,

00:20:29Kyle barely showed up.

00:20:30He only returned to toss me

00:20:32looted human canned food

00:20:33and pretty dresses,

00:20:34then vanished back into the deep.

00:20:36I felt like a stray pet.

00:20:39Luckily,

00:20:39Lucian sneak over daily,

00:20:41his golden eyes sparkling

00:20:43as he munched on spam.

00:20:45My heart softened,

00:20:47but I kept my focus.

00:20:49Lucian,

00:20:50is there a secret pathway

00:20:51back to the surface?

00:20:52Before he could answer,

00:20:53the water outside

00:20:54churned violently.

00:20:55Kale staggered in,

00:20:56dropped a tin of tuna

00:20:57into my lap,

00:20:57and collapsed

00:20:58onto the stone floor.

00:20:59Kale!

00:21:01Pulling aside

00:21:02his blood-soaked toque,

00:21:03I sucked in a breath.

00:21:04A bone-deep wound

00:21:05gabed across his chest,

00:21:06oozing black,

00:21:07venomous blood.

00:21:08Outside,

00:21:09dozens of scrimmin' eyes

00:21:10glided in the dark,

00:21:11scavenger monsters

00:21:12smelling weakness.

00:21:13Gritting my teeth,

00:21:14I dragged him

00:21:15onto the giant cab bed.

00:21:16I tore a strip

00:21:17from my dress.

00:21:18Then I hastily wiped

00:21:19the black blood

00:21:20from his wound.

00:21:20Lucian!

00:21:21Medicine!

00:21:22Lucian swam frantically

00:21:23to a shelf

00:21:23and grabbed a black healing pill,

00:21:25handing it straight to me.

00:21:26I tried to force it

00:21:27into Kale's mouth,

00:21:28but his jaw was locked

00:21:28tight in unconsciousness.

00:21:30Mommy!

00:21:30Pass him the pill

00:21:31with your mouth.

00:21:32Give father CPR or a kiss.

00:21:34You've watched

00:21:34too many human movies.

00:21:35If my hands can't pry it open,

00:21:37how will a kiss work?

00:21:38True love's kiss

00:21:39cures everything.

00:21:40Fine.

00:21:41Why argue with a five-year-old?

00:21:42I straddled Kale's hips

00:21:43and forcibly pried

00:21:44at his jaw.

00:21:44Kale!

00:21:45You can't die!

00:21:46If you die,

00:21:46I'm doomed!

00:21:47Oh,

00:21:47Mommy is dying for love.

00:21:48If father dies,

00:21:49she won't live either.

00:21:52I accidentally

00:21:53popped Kale's jaw

00:21:54right out of place.

00:21:57At that exact moment,

00:21:59those icy golden eyes

00:22:00slowly opened,

00:22:01staring coldly

00:22:02straight into mine.

00:22:06Kale!

00:22:07You're awake!

00:22:10Kale stared deadplack,

00:22:12raising a hand

00:22:12to snap his jaw

00:22:13back into place

00:22:14with a dry crack.

00:22:15Get off me.

00:22:18I scrambled away immediately.

00:22:21The pill worked magic.

00:22:22His black blood

00:22:23stopped flowing

00:22:23within seconds.

00:22:25Pushing himself up,

00:22:26his tunic slipped

00:22:27to reveal a scarred,

00:22:28muscular chest.

00:22:30You were dying!

00:22:31I only removed your tunic

00:22:32to check the wound.

00:22:33Besides,

00:22:34we're engaged.

00:22:34It's not like

00:22:35I haven't seen it before.

00:22:36Do that again,

00:22:37and I'll slit your throat.

00:22:38I breathed a sigh of relief.

00:22:40Classic tough guy ocean lord.

00:22:42Suddenly,

00:22:43my heart violently constricted.

00:22:45A wave of bone-chilling frost

00:22:47erupted from my veins,

00:22:49turning my blood to ice.

00:22:53White mist escaped my lips.

00:22:58What's wrong with you?

00:23:00Father!

00:23:01She touched your siren venom

00:23:02when wiping your chest!

00:23:03Pure survival instinct took over.

00:23:05Craving warmth,

00:23:06I lunged forward,

00:23:07throwing my arms

00:23:08around Kale's neck.

00:23:09Let go, human.

00:23:10Sharp black claws

00:23:12suddenly extended

00:23:12from his fingertips,

00:23:14pressing against my throat.

00:23:15Father!

00:23:16Mommy just kissed you,

00:23:17and she said

00:23:18she wants to die for you!

00:23:19She...

00:23:20What?

00:23:21Kale...

00:23:23Don't leave me.

00:23:25For a long moment,

00:23:27the rager-sharp claws

00:23:28hanging above my throat

00:23:29slowly retracted,

00:23:31Kale's fingers

00:23:32awkwardly sinking

00:23:33into my damp hair.

00:23:35Troublesome human.

00:23:36I don't die that easily.

00:23:38He scoffed,

00:23:38voice laced with panic.

00:23:40Lifting my freezing hand,

00:23:41he spotted the black mark

00:23:43on my finger.

00:23:44Stupid girl.

00:23:45He muttered,

00:23:46lowering his head,

00:23:47taking my finger

00:23:48into his mouth.

00:23:48His warm tongue

00:23:49wrapped around the wound.

00:23:50Metinimalously sucking out

00:23:52the venom into his own body.

00:23:55It was the best sleep

00:23:57I'd had since arriving

00:23:58in this abyss.

00:23:59When I blinked open my eyes,

00:24:00the icy venom was gone,

00:24:02but terror instantly struck.

00:24:03My face was pressed

00:24:04against a cold,

00:24:05muscular chest.

00:24:06My arms locked

00:24:07around Kale's waist.

00:24:08I snapped my head up,

00:24:10straight into a pair

00:24:11of bloodshot golden eyes.

00:24:13Enjoying the hug?

00:24:15Kale's raspy voice rasped.

00:24:17He hadn't slept a wink.

00:24:22Kale,

00:24:22you're fully healed?

00:24:26Kale gave me a chilling look,

00:24:28flexed his numb arm,

00:24:29and pulled on his dark tunic.

00:24:33Where are you going?

00:24:36To hunt.

00:24:39He spit coldly,

00:24:41vanishing into the abyss.

00:24:42So that's why

00:24:43he left every day.

00:24:44In this ruthless

00:24:45siren territory,

00:24:47it was kill or be killed.

00:24:48To survive,

00:24:49he had to keep hunting

00:24:50the wild oceanic beasts.

00:24:52This place was

00:24:53a lethal battleground.

00:24:53I had to find a way out.

00:24:55While Kale was gone,

00:24:57Lucien stayed behind.

00:24:58Seeing the kid shivering

00:24:59from the cold

00:25:00left behind by the venom,

00:25:01I coaxed him over,

00:25:02wrapping him in my dry coat

00:25:03and feeding him

00:25:04the rest of the canned meat.

00:25:05As I gently combed

00:25:06his dark hair,

00:25:07I tried to gather intel.

00:25:08Lucien,

00:25:09can humans really never

00:25:10survive in the ocean

00:25:11without Kale?

00:25:12Lucien looked up

00:25:13with pure trust,

00:25:14pulling out a glowing

00:25:15blue orb,

00:25:15the siren's pearl.

00:25:17Mommy,

00:25:18if a human swallows this,

00:25:19you can breathe underwater,

00:25:21swim freely,

00:25:22and ignore deep sea

00:25:22pressure forever.

00:25:23My ticket to

00:25:24freedom,

00:25:25suddenly a faint,

00:25:27familiar voice

00:25:27echoed outside.

00:25:28Lucien,

00:25:29come out.

00:25:31Father's back!

00:25:33He eagerly swam

00:25:34toward the grand entrance.

00:25:36I froze,

00:25:38remembering Kale's

00:25:39icy warning.

00:25:40Do not step outside

00:25:41this palace

00:25:42when I'm gone.

00:25:43Wait, Lucien!

00:25:46Mommy!

00:25:47Help me!

00:25:50Hands shook,

00:25:51the cold siren's pearl

00:25:52resting in my palm,

00:25:53chasing after him

00:25:55as a helpless human

00:25:56meant instant death.

00:25:57Fleeing meant

00:25:58leaving the kid

00:25:58to be defoured.

00:25:59Damn it!

00:26:10Swallowing the siren royal pearl,

00:26:12the suffocating pressure vanished.

00:26:13I swam out

00:26:14with all my strength.

00:26:16In the gloom ahead

00:26:17stood a dark siren.

00:26:18His eyes glowed

00:26:19a deadly crimson.

00:26:21Gross,

00:26:22slimy tentacles

00:26:23sprouted from his back,

00:26:24pinching Lucien

00:26:24tightly in the air.

00:26:27Mommy!

00:26:29Let him go!

00:26:31Ignoring the danger,

00:26:32I lunged forward

00:26:33and threw my arms

00:26:33around Lucien,

00:26:34using my body

00:26:35to shield the terrified boy.

00:26:36A sharp rock

00:26:37cut my cheek.

00:26:37As a single drop

00:26:38of my blood

00:26:39diffused into the icy

00:26:40sea water,

00:26:40dozens of crimson eyes

00:26:41instantly alighted

00:26:42in the surrounding darkness.

00:26:44The dark siren's breath

00:26:45hitched.

00:26:45He frantically condensed

00:26:46the blood with his magic

00:26:47and swallowed it whole,

00:26:49his eyes flaring

00:26:50with primal madness.

00:26:51The perfect human catalyst.

00:26:53Mine for the taking!

00:26:56The tentacles squeezed tight,

00:26:58crushing my ribs

00:27:00and forcing all the air

00:27:01from my lungs.

00:27:01I hugged Lucien tightly,

00:27:03choking in agony

00:27:04as darkness

00:27:05edged my vision.

00:27:06Father!

00:27:07Save us!

00:27:10Don't bother screaming.

00:27:12He's trapped

00:27:13in a deadly ambush.

00:27:15He isn't coming back.

00:27:16My heart sank into ice.

00:27:20What?

00:27:21What happened to Kale?

00:27:23He's being ripped apart

00:27:25by scavengers.

00:27:26Your sovereign blood

00:27:27could instantly restore

00:27:29his royal powers

00:27:30and let him reclaim

00:27:31the sea throne.

00:27:32Yet that fool refused

00:27:34to touch a single hair

00:27:35on you!

00:27:36My mind went

00:27:37completely blank.

00:27:38What?

00:27:39Instead of eating you,

00:27:40he dragged you around

00:27:41like a target,

00:27:42fighting off endless

00:27:43sea monsters

00:27:44day and night

00:27:44just to keep you alive!

00:27:46Since he's dying anyway,

00:27:48I'll devour you

00:27:49and his precious son

00:27:50instead!

00:27:52Who did you say

00:27:53you're going to devour?

00:28:12I fell into the hands

00:28:13of the most ruthless siren

00:28:14in the deep sea.

00:28:15I survived by lying

00:28:16to his face,

00:28:17convincing him

00:28:18I was his fiancée.

00:28:20The good news,

00:28:22I'm alive

00:28:22and the monster king

00:28:23has a five-year-old son

00:28:25who calls me mommy.

00:28:26Mother!

00:28:27The bad news,

00:28:28he despises liars.

00:28:29Everyone who's ever lied

00:28:30to him has been eaten.

00:28:32Then his enemies

00:28:33find out the truth

00:28:33and they want me

00:28:35and the kid dead.

00:28:37Now the only thing

00:28:39standing between me

00:28:40and the abyss

00:28:40is the one secret

00:28:41he can never know.

00:28:42The submarine's engine

00:28:44had exploded,

00:28:45dragging me down

00:28:45into the forbidden trench

00:28:46beneath the sea court.

00:28:47The water was pitch black.

00:28:49My suit was destroyed.

00:28:50I should have been drowning.

00:28:52A perfect catalyst.

00:28:53Oxygen suddenly filled my lungs.

00:28:55I was breathing underwater.

00:28:57Then I smelled blood.

00:28:58A lot of blood.

00:28:59A tall, terrifying figure

00:29:01glided out of the darkness.

00:29:03Black scales rippled

00:29:04over his chest,

00:29:05his blue eyes cold

00:29:06and lifeless.

00:29:13Your blood

00:29:14will wake the power

00:29:15sleeping inside me.

00:29:18You can't kill me!

00:29:22I'm your fiancé.

00:29:24Everything went

00:29:25dead silent.

00:29:28What do you mean by that?

00:29:29My mind raced.

00:29:30I'd taken the right gamble.

00:29:32I'd read the classified

00:29:33oceanographic files

00:29:34before the dive.

00:29:35They mentioned

00:29:35an ancient siren kingdom

00:29:36beneath this trench.

00:29:37The files warned

00:29:38that sirens were

00:29:39utterly ruthless,

00:29:40except to their mates,

00:29:41whom they protected

00:29:42with violent devotion.

00:29:43A mysterious high-energy

00:29:44blast in these waters

00:29:45last year

00:29:46had wiped the memories

00:29:47of every creature down here.

00:29:48If he was one of them,

00:29:49I could bullshit

00:29:50my way out of this.

00:29:51I came looking for you.

00:29:53I wiped away tears,

00:29:55spinning the saddest

00:29:56love story possible.

00:30:00We've been engaged

00:30:01since we were kids.

00:30:02After your accident,

00:30:03you lost your memory,

00:30:04but I never stopped

00:30:05searching for you.

00:30:07Father,

00:30:07she's lying.

00:30:09I froze.

00:30:10A little boy

00:30:10swam out of the shadows.

00:30:11He had dark hair

00:30:12and icy golden eyes,

00:30:14looking like a mini replica

00:30:15of the lethal prince.

00:30:16A glowing blue pearl

00:30:17flowed above his tiny palm.

00:30:19Let's verify it.

00:30:21Before I could run,

00:30:22he grabbed my wrist.

00:30:23A searing wave of heat

00:30:24shot through my veins.

00:30:25A silver-blue mark

00:30:26lit up my skin

00:30:27like a crescent moon

00:30:28under the sea.

00:30:30Lucian?

00:30:32Father,

00:30:33she is not your fiancé.

00:30:35My heart stopped.

00:30:36Game over.

00:30:36The kids saw

00:30:37straight through me.

00:30:38I closed my eyes,

00:30:39waiting for the claws

00:30:40to tear me apart.

00:30:42I think she's my mommy.

00:30:50Before I could process

00:30:51what happened,

00:30:52Tails' massive tail

00:30:53whipped around my waist,

00:30:54yanking me down

00:30:55into the freezing darkness

00:30:57of the deep abyss.

00:30:58Lucian swam effortlessly

00:31:00beside us.

00:31:02Shapes moved inside

00:31:03the dark coral walls,

00:31:04jagged teeth

00:31:05and glowing eyes

00:31:06watching me

00:31:07like I was a fresh meal.

00:31:08The second Kale swept past,

00:31:10every shadow recoiled

00:31:11in sheer terror.

00:31:12Goosebumps erupted

00:31:13over my skin.

00:31:14The moment Kale's tail loosened,

00:31:16I panicked and grabbed

00:31:16onto his bare waist

00:31:17for safety.

00:31:18He paused,

00:31:19but surprisingly,

00:31:20he didn't shake me off.

00:31:22Instead,

00:31:22he dragged us straight

00:31:23into a forgotten,

00:31:24abandoned palace

00:31:25deep in the abyss.

00:31:27Taking one cautious step,

00:31:28I kicked a heavy golden trunk

00:31:30and lost my balance.

00:31:31Ah!

00:31:37You can't see?

00:31:40Did I seriously father an heir

00:31:41with a night-blind woman?

00:31:43My mouth twitched,

00:31:44but I looked right

00:31:45toward his voice.

00:31:47I can't see in the dark,

00:31:49yet you still insisted

00:31:50on marrying me.

00:31:51That only proves one thing.

00:31:53You used to love me

00:31:54more than life itself.

00:31:55A suffocating silence

00:31:57fell over the grand hall.

00:32:01Father,

00:32:02did you really love

00:32:03mommy that much?

00:32:07Lucien, shut up.

00:32:08Fearing I had pushed

00:32:09my luck too far,

00:32:10I quickly changed my tune.

00:32:11Give me a little light

00:32:12and I can see fine.

00:32:14Kale flicked his fingers.

00:32:15The entire pitch black palace

00:32:16was instantly bathed

00:32:17in a breathtaking,

00:32:18dreamlike azu glow.

00:32:20I let out a long breath,

00:32:21turned to the lethal siren

00:32:22and gave him my warmest smile.

00:32:24Since you don't remember

00:32:25the past,

00:32:25let's start over.

00:32:27My name is Elena.

00:32:30Kale.

00:32:33Obviously,

00:32:33he didn't fully buy my story.

00:32:35I had no powers

00:32:36and zero chance

00:32:36of surviving this monster-infested

00:32:38ocean floor on my own.

00:32:39To stay alive,

00:32:40I had to chain myself

00:32:41to him and his kid.

00:32:42Kale's unblinking golden eyes

00:32:43stared right through me.

00:32:44You claim to be my fiancé.

00:32:46Where is the proof?

00:32:47I reached for the pendant

00:32:48around my neck,

00:32:49a worn silver half-moon shell.

00:32:50I'd been wearing it

00:32:51when they rushed me

00:32:51to the hospital

00:32:51after the last dive accident.

00:32:53I had no idea

00:32:53where it came from,

00:32:54but that didn't stop me

00:32:55from making up a story

00:32:56on the spot.

00:32:57This was your promise

00:32:58token to me.

00:33:00You have the other half.

00:33:02When the two moonshells join,

00:33:04they form the royal crest.

00:33:05It means we can never be parted.

00:33:11Then why do I not have it?

00:33:13You were caught

00:33:13in that terrible explosion.

00:33:15My voice trembled perfectly

00:33:17as I forced tears

00:33:18into my eyes.

00:33:21Even if you lost it

00:33:22in the chaos,

00:33:22it doesn't matter.

00:33:24As long as you're alive,

00:33:25that's enough for me.

00:33:26I closed the distance

00:33:27and pressed myself

00:33:28against his rock-hard chest,

00:33:30striking right at his heart.

00:33:31You never used to look

00:33:32at me so coldly,

00:33:33I whispered,

00:33:34resting my hand

00:33:35over his pounding pulse.

00:33:36You used to say

00:33:37I was your greatest treasure,

00:33:39that if I called you husband,

00:33:40you would give your life for me.

00:33:46Our bond can't just disappear, right?

00:33:50A faint, unexpected flush of red

00:33:53spread across the sea prince's cheeks.

00:33:54He jolted,

00:33:55shoving me away

00:33:56as he retreated

00:33:57to the palace doors.

00:33:58Foolish human!

00:33:58Do not think I will fall

00:33:59for your words so easily!

00:34:01With that,

00:34:02he fled into the dark waters.

00:34:06I sat back on the coral throne,

00:34:07wiped my fake tears,

00:34:09and snit it.

00:34:11He actually blushed.

00:34:13Outside,

00:34:13the terrifying siren lord

00:34:15leaned against the marble pillar,

00:34:17the tips of his pointed ears

00:34:18burning red.

00:34:21Lucian,

00:34:22she might actually be my mate.

00:34:24What do I do?

00:34:25She looked at me

00:34:26like she wanted to eat me alive.

00:34:31Over the next few days,

00:34:33Kyle barely showed up.

00:34:34He only returned to toss me

00:34:36looted human canned food

00:34:37and pretty dresses,

00:34:38then vanished back

00:34:39into the deep.

00:34:40I felt like a stray pet.

00:34:42Luckily,

00:34:43Lucian sneak over daily,

00:34:45his golden eyes sparkling

00:34:46as he munched on spam.

00:34:49My heart softened,

00:34:50but I kept my focus.

00:34:53Lucian,

00:34:53is there a secret pathway

00:34:55back to the surface?

00:34:56Before he could answer,

00:34:57the water outside

00:34:58churred violently.

00:34:59Kale staggered in,

00:35:00dropped a tin of tuna

00:35:01into my lap

00:35:01and collapsed

00:35:02onto the stone floor.

00:35:03Kale!

00:35:05Pulling aside

00:35:06his blood-soaked toque,

00:35:07I sucked in a breath.

00:35:08A bone-deep wound

00:35:09gabed across his chest,

00:35:10oozing black,

00:35:11venomous blood.

00:35:12Outside,

00:35:13dozens of scrimmin' eyes

00:35:14ignited in the dark,

00:35:15scavenger monsters

00:35:16smelling weakness.

00:35:17Gritting my teeth,

00:35:18I dragged him

00:35:18onto the giant cab bed.

00:35:20I tore a strip

00:35:21from my dress,

00:35:21then I hastily wiped

00:35:23the black blood

00:35:23from his wound.

00:35:24Lucian!

00:35:25Medicine!

00:35:26Lucian swam frantically

00:35:27to a shelf

00:35:27and grabbed a black

00:35:28healing pill,

00:35:29handing it straight to me.

00:35:30I tried to force it

00:35:31into Kale's mouth,

00:35:31but his jaw

00:35:32was locked tight

00:35:32in unconsciousness.

00:35:33Mommy,

00:35:34pass him the pill

00:35:35with your mouth.

00:35:36Give father CPR

00:35:37or a kiss.

00:35:37You've watched

00:35:38too many human movies.

00:35:39If my hands can't

00:35:40pry it open,

00:35:41how will a kiss work?

00:35:42True love's kiss

00:35:43cures everything.

00:35:44Fine.

00:35:44Why argue with a five-year-old?

00:35:46I straddled Kale's hips

00:35:47and forcibly pried

00:35:48at his jaw.

00:35:48Kale!

00:35:49You can't die!

00:35:49If you die,

00:35:50I'm doomed!

00:35:50Oh,

00:35:51Mommy is dying for love.

00:35:52If father dies,

00:35:53she won't live either.

00:35:56I accidentally

00:35:56popped Kale's jaw

00:35:57right out of place.

00:36:01At that exact moment,

00:36:02those icy golden eyes

00:36:03slowly opened,

00:36:05staring coldly

00:36:06straight into mine.

00:36:10Kale!

00:36:11You're awake!

00:36:14Kale stared deadplack,

00:36:16raising a hand

00:36:16to snap his jaw

00:36:17back into place

00:36:18with a dry crack.

00:36:19Get off me.

00:36:22I scrambled away

00:36:23immediately.

00:36:24The pill worked magic.

00:36:26His black blood

00:36:26stopped flowing

00:36:27within seconds.

00:36:29Pushing himself up,

00:36:30his tunic slipped

00:36:31to reveal a scarred,

00:36:32muscular chest.

00:36:33You were dying!

00:36:35I only removed your tunic

00:36:36to check the wound.

00:36:37Besides,

00:36:38we're engaged.

00:36:38It's not like I haven't

00:36:39seen it before.

00:36:40Do that again,

00:36:41and I'll slit your throat.

00:36:42I breathed a sigh of relief.

00:36:44Classic tough guy

00:36:45ocean lord.

00:36:46Suddenly,

00:36:46my heart violently

00:36:47constricted.

00:36:49A wave of bone-chilling

00:36:51frost erupted

00:36:51from my veins,

00:36:53turning my blood to ice.

00:36:57White mist

00:36:58escaped my lips.

00:37:01What's wrong with you?

00:37:04Father!

00:37:05She touched your siren venom

00:37:06when wiping your chest!

00:37:07Pure survival instinct

00:37:08took over.

00:37:09Craving warmth,

00:37:10I lunged forward,

00:37:11throwing my arms

00:37:12around Kale's neck.

00:37:13Let go, human.

00:37:14Sharp black claws

00:37:15suddenly extended

00:37:16from his fingertips,

00:37:17pressing against my throat.

00:37:19Father!

00:37:20Mommy just kissed you,

00:37:21and she said

00:37:22she wants to die for you!

00:37:23She...

00:37:24What?

00:37:25Kale...

00:37:27Don't leave me.

00:37:29For a long moment,

00:37:31the rager-sharp claws

00:37:32hanging above my throat

00:37:33slowly retracted,

00:37:35Kale's fingers

00:37:36awkwardly sinking

00:37:37into my damp hair.

00:37:39Troublesome human.

00:37:40I don't die that easily.

00:37:41He snuffed,

00:37:42voice laced with panic,

00:37:44lifting my freezing hand.

00:37:45He spotted the black mark

00:37:46on my finger.

00:37:47Stupid girl.

00:37:48He muttered,

00:37:49lowering his head,

00:37:51taking my finger

00:37:51into his mouth.

00:37:52His warm tongue

00:37:53wrapped around the wound,

00:37:54metinemalously sucking out

00:37:55the venom

00:37:56into his own body.

00:37:59It was the best sleep

00:38:00I'd had since arriving

00:38:01in this abyss.

00:38:02When I blinked open my eyes,

00:38:04the icy venom was gone,

00:38:05but terror instantly struck.

00:38:07My face was pressed

00:38:08against a cold,

00:38:09muscular chest.

00:38:10My arms locked

00:38:11around Kale's waist.

00:38:12I snapped my head up,

00:38:14straight into a pair

00:38:15of bloodshot golden eyes.

00:38:17Enjoying the hug?

00:38:19Kale's raspy voice rasped.

00:38:21He hadn't slept a wink.

00:38:25Kale,

00:38:26you're fully healed?

00:38:30Kale gave me

00:38:30a chilling look,

00:38:32flexed his numb arm

00:38:33and pulled on his dark tunic.

00:38:36Where are you going?

00:38:40To hunt.

00:38:43He spit coldly,

00:38:45vanishing into the abyss.

00:38:46So that's why

00:38:47he left every day.

00:38:48In this ruthless

00:38:49siren territory,

00:38:50it was kill or be killed.

00:38:52To survive,

00:38:53he had to keep hunting

00:38:54the wild oceanic beasts.

00:38:55This place was

00:38:56a lethal battleground.

00:38:57I had to find a way out.

00:38:59While Kale was gone,

00:39:01Lucien stayed behind.

00:39:02Seeing the kid shivering

00:39:03from the cold

00:39:03left behind by the venom,

00:39:05I coaxed him over,

00:39:06wrapping him in my dry coat

00:39:07and feeding him

00:39:08the rest of the canned meat.

00:39:09As I gently combed

00:39:10his dark hair,

00:39:11I tried to gather intel.

00:39:12Lucien,

00:39:13can humans really

00:39:14never survive

00:39:14in the ocean without Kale?

00:39:16Lucien looked up

00:39:16with pure trust,

00:39:18pulling out a glowing

00:39:18blue orb,

00:39:19the siren's pearl.

00:39:21Mommy,

00:39:22if a human swallows this,

00:39:23you can breathe underwater,

00:39:25swim freely,

00:39:25and ignore deep sea

00:39:26pressure forever.

00:39:27My ticket to freedom.

00:39:29Suddenly,

00:39:30a faint,

00:39:30familiar voice

00:39:31echoed outside.

00:39:32Lucien,

00:39:33come out.

00:39:35Father's back!

00:39:36He eagerly swam

00:39:38toward the grand entrance.

00:39:40I froze,

00:39:41remembering Kale's icy warning.

00:39:44Do not step outside

00:39:45this palace when I'm gone.

00:39:47Wait, Lucien!

00:39:50Mommy!

00:39:51Help me!

00:39:53Hands shook,

00:39:55the cold siren's pearl

00:39:56resting in my palm.

00:39:57Chasing after him

00:39:58as a helpless human

00:39:59meant instant death.

00:40:01Fleeing meant

00:40:01leaving the kid

00:40:02to be defoured.

00:40:03Damn it!

00:40:14Swallowing the siren royal pearl,

00:40:16the suffocating pressure

00:40:16vanished.

00:40:17I swam out

00:40:18with all my strength.

00:40:19In the gloom ahead

00:40:21stood a dark siren.

00:40:22His eyes glowed

00:40:23a deadly crimson.

00:40:25Gross,

00:40:26slimy tentacles

00:40:26sprouted from his back,

00:40:27pinching Lucien

00:40:28tightly in the air.

00:40:31Mommy!

00:40:33Let him go!

00:40:34Ignoring the danger,

00:40:36I lunged forward

00:40:36and threw my arms

00:40:37around Lucien,

00:40:38using my body

00:40:38to shield the terrified boy.

00:40:40A sharp rock

00:40:40cut my cheek.

00:40:41As a single drop

00:40:42of my blood

00:40:42diffused into the icy

00:40:43seawater,

00:40:44dozens of crimson eyes

00:40:45instantly alighted

00:40:46in the surrounding darkness.

00:40:47The dark siren's

00:40:48breath hitched.

00:40:49He frantically

00:40:50condensed the blood

00:40:51with his magic

00:40:51and swallowed it whole,

00:40:52his eyes flaring

00:40:53with primal madness.

00:40:55The perfect human catalyst.

00:40:57Mine for the taking!

00:41:01The tentacles squeezed tight,

00:41:02crushing my ribs

00:41:03and forcing all the air

00:41:04from my lungs.

00:41:05I hugged Lucien tightly,

00:41:07choking in agony

00:41:08as darkness

00:41:08edged my vision.

00:41:10Father!

00:41:11Save us!

00:41:14Don't bother screaming.

00:41:16He's trapped

00:41:17in a deadly ambush.

00:41:19He isn't coming back.

00:41:20My heart sank into ice.

00:41:23What?

00:41:24What happened to Kale?

00:41:27He's being ripped apart

00:41:29by scavengers.

00:41:30Your sovereign blood

00:41:31could instantly restore

00:41:32his royal powers

00:41:33and let him reclaim

00:41:34the sea throne.

00:41:36Yet that fool refused

00:41:37to touch a single hair

00:41:39on you!

00:41:39My mind went

00:41:40completely blank.

00:41:42What?

00:41:43Instead of eating you,

00:41:44he dragged you around

00:41:45like a target,

00:41:46fighting off endless

00:41:47sea monsters

00:41:48day and night

00:41:48just to keep you alive!

00:41:50Since he's dying anyway,

00:41:52I'll devour you

00:41:53and his precious son

00:41:54instead!

00:41:55Who did you say

00:41:57you're going to devour?

00:42:15I fell into the hands

00:42:17of the most ruthless

00:42:18siren in the deep sea.

00:42:19I survived by lying

00:42:20to his face,

00:42:21convincing him

00:42:22I was his fiancée.

00:42:24The good news,

00:42:25I'm alive

00:42:26and the monster king

00:42:27has a five-year-old son

00:42:29who calls me mommy.

00:42:30Mother!

00:42:30The bad news,

00:42:31he despises liars.

00:42:33Everyone who's ever lied

00:42:34to him has been eaten.

00:42:35Then his enemies

00:42:36find out the truth

00:42:37and they want me

00:42:38and the kid dead.

00:42:41Now the only thing

00:42:42standing between me

00:42:43and the abyss

00:42:44is the one secret

00:42:45he can never know.

00:42:46The submarine's engine

00:42:47had exploded,

00:42:48dragging me down

00:42:49into the forbidden trench

00:42:50beneath the sea court.

00:42:51The water was pitch black.

00:42:53My suit was destroyed.

00:42:54I should have been drowning.

00:42:55A perfect catalyst.

00:42:57Oxygen suddenly filled my lungs.

00:42:59I was breathing underwater.

00:43:01Then I smelled blood.

00:43:02A lot of blood.

00:43:03A tall, terrifying figure

00:43:05glided out of the darkness.

00:43:06Black scales rippled

00:43:07over his chest,

00:43:08his blue eyes cold

00:43:09and lifeless.

00:43:16Your blood

00:43:17will wake the power

00:43:19sleeping inside me.

00:43:22You can't kill me!

00:43:26I'm your fiancé.

00:43:28Everything went dead silent.

00:43:32What do you mean by that?

00:43:33My mind raced.

00:43:34I'd taken the right gamble.

00:43:36I'd read the classified

00:43:37oceanographic files

00:43:38before the dive.

00:43:39They mentioned

00:43:39an ancient siren kingdom

00:43:40beneath this trench.

00:43:41The files warned

00:43:42that sirens

00:43:43were utterly ruthless,

00:43:44except to their mates,

00:43:45whom they protected

00:43:46with violent devotion.

00:43:47A mysterious high-energy

00:43:48blast in these waters

00:43:49last year

00:43:50had wiped the memories

00:43:51of every creature down here.

00:43:52If he was one of them,

00:43:53I could bullshit

00:43:54my way out of this.

00:43:55I came looking for you.

00:43:57I wiped away tears,

00:43:58spinning the saddest

00:43:59love story possible.

00:44:03We've been engaged

00:44:04since we were kids.

00:44:06After your accident,

00:44:07you lost your memory,

00:44:08but I never stopped

00:44:09searching for you.

00:44:10Father, she's lying.

00:44:12I froze.

00:44:13A little boy

00:44:14swam out of the shadows.

00:44:15He had dark hair

00:44:16and icy golden eyes,

00:44:17looking like a mini replica

00:44:19of the lethal prince.

00:44:20A glowing blue pearl

00:44:21flowed above his tiny palm.

00:44:23Let's verify it.

00:44:25Before I could run,

00:44:26he grabbed my wrist.

00:44:27A searing wave of heat

00:44:28shot through my veins.

00:44:29A silver-blue mark

00:44:30lit up my skin

00:44:31like a crescent moon

00:44:32under the sea.

00:44:34Lucien?

00:44:35Father,

00:44:37she is not your fiancé.

00:44:38My heart stopped.

00:44:39Game over.

00:44:40The kids saw

00:44:41straight through me.

00:44:42I closed my eyes,

00:44:43waiting for the claws

00:44:44to tear me apart.

00:44:46I think she's my mommy!

00:44:53Before I could process

00:44:55what happened,

00:44:56Kale's massive tail

00:44:57whipped around my waist,

00:44:58yanking me down

00:44:59into the freezing darkness

00:45:00of the deep abyss.

00:45:02Lucien swam effortlessly

00:45:03beside us.

00:45:06Shapes moved inside

00:45:07the dark coral walls,

00:45:08jagged teeth

00:45:09and glowing eyes

00:45:10watching me

00:45:10like I was a fresh meal.

00:45:12The second Kale swept past,

00:45:14every shadow recoiled

00:45:15in sheer terror.

00:45:16Goosebumps erupted

00:45:17over my skin.

00:45:18The moment Kale's tail loosened,

00:45:19I panicked and grabbed

00:45:20onto his bare waist

00:45:21for safety.

00:45:22He paused,

00:45:23but surprisingly,

00:45:23he didn't shake me off.

00:45:25Instead,

00:45:26he dragged us straight

00:45:27into a forgotten,

00:45:28abandoned palace

00:45:28deep in the abyss.

00:45:30Taking one cautious step,

00:45:32I kicked a heavy golden trunk

00:45:33and lost my balance.

00:45:40You can't see?

00:45:44Did I seriously father an heir

00:45:45with a night-blind woman?

00:45:46My mouth twitched,

00:45:48but I looked right

00:45:48toward his voice.

00:45:51I can't see in the dark,

00:45:52yet you still insisted

00:45:54on marrying me.

00:45:55That only proves one thing.

00:45:57You used to love me

00:45:58more than life itself.

00:45:59A suffocating silence

00:46:01fell over the grand hall.

00:46:05Father,

00:46:06did you really love

00:46:07Mommy that much?

00:46:10Lucian, shut up.

00:46:12Fearing I had pushed

00:46:13my luck too far,

00:46:14I quickly changed my tune.

00:46:15Give me a little light

00:46:16and I can see fine.

00:46:17Kale flicked his fingers.

00:46:19The entire pitch-black palace

00:46:20was instantly bathed

00:46:21in a breathtaking,

00:46:22dreamlike azul glow.

00:46:23I let out a long breath,

00:46:25turned to the lethal siren

00:46:26and gave him my warmest smile.

00:46:27Since you don't remember the past,

00:46:29let's start over.

00:46:30My name is Elena.

00:46:34Kale.

00:46:36Obviously,

00:46:37he didn't fully buy my story.

00:46:38I had no powers

00:46:39and zero chance

00:46:40of surviving this monster-infested

00:46:42ocean floor on my own.

00:46:43To stay alive,

00:46:44I had to chain myself

00:46:44to him and his kid.

00:46:46Kale's unblinking golden eyes

00:46:47stared right through me.

00:46:48You claim to be my fiancé.

00:46:50Where is the proof?

00:46:51I reached for the pendant

00:46:52around my neck,

00:46:52a worn silver half-moon shell.

00:46:54I'd been wearing it

00:46:54when they rushed me to the hospital

00:46:55after the last dive accident.

00:46:56I had no idea

00:46:57where it came from,

00:46:58but that didn't stop me

00:46:59from making up a story

00:47:00on the spot.

00:47:01This was your promise token to me.

00:47:04You have the other half.

00:47:06When the two moonshells join,

00:47:07they form the royal crest.

00:47:09It means we can never be parted.

00:47:15Then why do I not have it?

00:47:16You were caught

00:47:17in that terrible explosion.

00:47:19My voice trembled perfectly

00:47:21as I forced tears into my eyes.

00:47:24Even if you lost it in the chaos,

00:47:26it doesn't matter.

00:47:27As long as you're alive,

00:47:29that's enough for me.

00:47:30I closed the distance

00:47:31and pressed myself

00:47:32against his rock-hard chest,

00:47:33striking right at his heart.

00:47:35You never used to look at me so coldly.

00:47:37I whispered,

00:47:38resting my hand

00:47:39over his pounding pulse.

00:47:40You used to say

00:47:41I was your greatest treasure,

00:47:42that if I called you husband,

00:47:44you would give your life for me.

00:47:50Our bond can't just disappear, right?

00:47:54A faint, unexpected flush of red

00:47:56spread across the Sea Prince's cheeks.

00:47:58He jolted,

00:47:59shoving me away

00:48:00as he retreated

00:48:00to the palace doors.

00:48:01Foolish human!

00:48:02Do not think I will fall

00:48:03for your words so easily.

00:48:05With that,

00:48:06he fled into the dark waters.

00:48:09I sat back on the Coral Throne,

00:48:11wiped my fake tears,

00:48:13and snit it.

00:48:15He actually blushed.

00:48:16Outside,

00:48:17the terrifying Siren Lord

00:48:19leaned against the marble pillar,

00:48:20the tips of his pointed ears

00:48:22burning red.

00:48:25Lucian,

00:48:26she might actually be my mate.

00:48:28What do I do?

00:48:29She looked at me

00:48:30like she wanted to eat me alive.

00:48:35Over the next few days,

00:48:37Kyle barely showed up.

00:48:38He only returned

00:48:39to toss me looted

00:48:40human canned food

00:48:41and pretty dresses,

00:48:42then vanished back

00:48:43into the deep.

00:48:44I felt like a stray pet.

00:48:46Luckily,

00:48:47Lucian sneaked over daily,

00:48:48his golden eyes sparkling

00:48:50as he munched on spam.

00:48:53My heart softened,

00:48:54but I kept my focus.

00:48:56Lucian,

00:48:57is there a secret pathway

00:48:58back to the surface?

00:48:59Before he could answer,

00:49:01the water outside

00:49:01churred violently.

00:49:03Kale staggered in,

00:49:04dropped a tin of tuna

00:49:04into my lap

00:49:05and collapsed

00:49:06onto the stone floor.

00:49:07Kale!

00:49:09Pulling aside

00:49:09his blood-soaked toque,

00:49:11I sucked in a breath.

00:49:12A bone-deep wound

00:49:13gabed across his chest,

00:49:14oozing black venomous blood.

00:49:16Outside,

00:49:16dozens of scrimmin' eyes

00:49:17ignited in the dark,

00:49:19scavenger monsters

00:49:20smelling weakness.

00:49:21Gritting my teeth,

00:49:22I dragged him

00:49:22onto the giant cab bed.

00:49:24I tore a strip

00:49:24from my dress.

00:49:25Then I hastily wiped

00:49:27the black blood

00:49:27from his wound.

00:49:28Lucian,

00:49:29medicine!

00:49:29Lucian swam frantically

00:49:30to a shelf

00:49:31and grabbed a black

00:49:32healing pill,

00:49:33handing it straight to me.

00:49:34I tried to force it

00:49:34into Kale's mouth,

00:49:35but his jaw was locked

00:49:36tight in unconsciousness.

00:49:37Mommy,

00:49:38pass him the pill

00:49:39with your mouth.

00:49:39Give father CPR

00:49:40or a kiss.

00:49:41You've watched

00:49:42too many human movies.

00:49:43If my hands can't

00:49:44pry it open,

00:49:44how will a kiss work?

00:49:45True love's kiss

00:49:46cures everything.

00:49:48Fine.

00:49:48Why argue with a five-year-old?

00:49:49I straddled Kale's hips

00:49:51and forcibly pried

00:49:51at his jaw.

00:49:52Kale,

00:49:52you can't die.

00:49:53If you die,

00:49:53I'm doomed.

00:49:54Oh,

00:49:54mommy is dying for love.

00:49:56If father dies,

00:49:57she won't live either.

00:49:59I accidentally popped

00:50:01Kale's jaw

00:50:01right out of place.

00:50:04At that exact moment,

00:50:06those icy golden eyes

00:50:07slowly opened,

00:50:08staring coldly

00:50:09straight into mine.

00:50:14Kale!

00:50:15You're awake!

00:50:18Kale stared deadplack,

00:50:19raising a hand

00:50:20to snap his jaw

00:50:21back into place

00:50:21with a dry crack.

00:50:23Get off me.

00:50:26I scrambled away

00:50:27immediately.

00:50:28The pill worked magic.

00:50:29His black blood

00:50:30stopped flowing

00:50:31within seconds.

00:50:32Pushing himself up,

00:50:34his tunic slipped

00:50:35to reveal

00:50:35a scarred,

00:50:36muscular chest.

00:50:37You were dying!

00:50:38I only removed

00:50:39your tunic

00:50:40to check the wound.

00:50:41Besides,

00:50:42we're engaged.

00:50:42It's not like

00:50:42I haven't seen it before.

00:50:44Do that again

00:50:44and I'll slit your throat.

00:50:46I breathed

00:50:47a sigh of relief.

00:50:48Classic tough guy

00:50:49Ocean Lord.

00:50:50Suddenly,

00:50:50my heart violently

00:50:51constricted.

00:50:53A wave of bone-chilling

00:50:54frost erupted

00:50:55from my veins,

00:50:57turning my blood

00:50:58to ice.

00:51:01White mist

00:51:02escaped my lips.

00:51:05What's wrong

00:51:06with you?

00:51:08Father!

00:51:08She touched

00:51:09your siren venom

00:51:10when wiping

00:51:10your chest.

00:51:11Pure survival

00:51:12instinct took over.

00:51:13Craving warmth,

00:51:14I lunged forward,

00:51:15throwing my arms

00:51:15around Kale's neck.

00:51:16Let go, human.

00:51:18Sharp black claws

00:51:19suddenly extended

00:51:20from his fingertips,

00:51:21pressing against

00:51:22my throat.

00:51:23Father!

00:51:24Mommy just kissed you

00:51:25and she said

00:51:26she wants to die

00:51:26for you!

00:51:27She...

00:51:27What?

00:51:29Kale,

00:51:30don't leave me.

00:51:33For a long moment,

00:51:34the rager-sharp claws

00:51:36hanging above my throat

00:51:37slowly retracted,

00:51:39Kale's fingers

00:51:40awkwardly sinking

00:51:41into my damp hair.

00:51:43Troublesome human.

00:51:44I don't die that easily.

00:51:45He scoffed,

00:51:46voice laced with panic.

00:51:47Lifting my freezing hand,

00:51:49he spotted the black mark

00:51:50on my finger.

00:51:51Stupid girl.

00:51:52He muttered,

00:51:53lowering his head,

00:51:54taking my finger

00:51:55into his mouth,

00:51:56his warm tongue

00:51:57wrapped around the wound,

00:51:58metinimalously sucking out

00:51:59the venom into his own body.

00:52:03It was the best sleep

00:52:04I'd had since arriving

00:52:05in this abyss.

00:52:06When I blinked open my eyes,

00:52:08the icy venom was gone,

00:52:09but terror instantly struck.

00:52:11My face was pressed

00:52:12against a cold,

00:52:13muscular chest.

00:52:14My arms locked

00:52:15around Kale's waist.

00:52:16I snapped my head up,

00:52:17straight into a pair

00:52:18of bloodshot golden eyes.

00:52:20Enjoying the hug?

00:52:23Kale's raspy voice rasped.

00:52:25He hadn't slept a wink.

00:52:29Kale,

00:52:30you're fully healed?

00:52:33Kale gave me

00:52:34a chilling look,

00:52:35flexed his numb arm

00:52:37and pulled on

00:52:37his dark tunic.

00:52:40Where are you going?

00:52:44To hunt.

00:52:47He spit coldly,

00:52:48vanishing into the abyss.

00:52:50So that's why

00:52:51he left every day.

00:52:52In this ruthless

00:52:53siren territory,

00:52:54it was kill or be killed.

00:52:55To survive,

00:52:57he had to keep hunting

00:52:57the wild oceanic beasts.

00:52:59This place was

00:53:00a lethal battleground.

00:53:01I had to find a way out.

00:53:03While Kale was gone,

00:53:04Lucian stayed behind.

00:53:06Seeing the kid shivering

00:53:07from the cold

00:53:07left behind by the venom,

00:53:08I coaxed him over,

00:53:09wrapping him in my dry coat

00:53:11and feeding him

00:53:11the rest of the canned meat.

00:53:13As I gently combed

00:53:14his dark hair,

00:53:14I tried to gather intel.

00:53:16Lucian,

00:53:17can humans really never

00:53:18survive in the ocean

00:53:19without Kale?

00:53:19Lucian looked up

00:53:20with pure trust,

00:53:21pulling out a glowing

00:53:22blue orb,

00:53:23the siren's pearl.

00:53:24Mommy,

00:53:25if a human swallows this,

00:53:27you can breathe underwater,

00:53:28swim freely,

00:53:29and ignore deep sea pressure forever.

00:53:31My ticket to freedom.

00:53:33Suddenly,

00:53:33a faint,

00:53:34familiar voice

00:53:35echoed outside.

00:53:36Lucian,

00:53:37come out.

00:53:39Father's back!

00:53:41He eagerly swam

00:53:42toward the grand entrance.

00:53:44I froze,

00:53:45remembering Kale's icy warning.

00:53:47Do not step outside

00:53:49this palace

00:53:49when I'm gone.

00:53:50Wait,

00:53:51Lucian!

00:53:54Mommy!

00:53:55Help me!

00:53:57Hands shook,

00:53:58the cold siren's pearl

00:54:00resting in my palm.

00:54:01Chasing after him

00:54:02as a helpless human

00:54:03meant instant death.

00:54:05Fleeing meant

00:54:05leaving the kid

00:54:06to be defoured.

00:54:07Damn it!

00:54:17Swallowing the siren royal pearl,

00:54:19the suffocating pressure vanished.

00:54:21I swam out

00:54:22with all my strength.

00:54:23In the gloom ahead

00:54:24stood a dark siren.

00:54:26His eyes glowed

00:54:27a deadly crimson.

00:54:28Gross,

00:54:29slimy tentacles

00:54:30sprouted from his back,

00:54:31pinching Lucian

00:54:32tightly in the air.

00:54:35Mommy!

00:54:37Let him go!

00:54:38Ignoring the danger,

00:54:39I lunged forward

00:54:40and threw my arms

00:54:41around Lucian,

00:54:41using my body

00:54:42to shield the terrified boy.

00:54:43A sharp rock

00:54:44cut my cheek.

00:54:45As a single drop

00:54:46of my blood

00:54:46diffused into the icy seawater,

00:54:48dozens of crimson eyes

00:54:49instantly alighted

00:54:50in the surrounding darkness.

00:54:51The dark siren's breath

00:54:52hitched.

00:54:53He frantically

00:54:53condensed the blood

00:54:54with his magic

00:54:55and swallowed it whole,

00:54:56his eyes flaring

00:54:57with primal madness.

00:54:58The perfect human catalyst.

00:55:01Mine for the taking!

00:55:04The tentacles

00:55:05squeezed tight,

00:55:06crushing my ribs

00:55:07and forcing all the air

00:55:08from my lungs.

00:55:09I hugged Lucian tightly,

00:55:11choking in agony

00:55:12as darkness

00:55:12edged my vision.

00:55:13Father!

00:55:15Save us!

00:55:18Don't bother screaming.

00:55:20He's trapped

00:55:21in a deadly ambush.

00:55:22He isn't coming back.

00:55:24My heart sank

00:55:25into ice.

00:55:27What?

00:55:28What happened

00:55:29to Kale?

00:55:31He's being ripped apart

00:55:32by scavengers.

00:55:34Your sovereign blood

00:55:35could instantly restore

00:55:36his royal powers

00:55:37and let him reclaim

00:55:38the sea throne.

00:55:39Yet that fool

00:55:41refused to touch

00:55:41a single hair on you!

00:55:43My mind went

00:55:44completely blank.

00:55:46What?

00:55:46Instead of eating you,

00:55:48he dragged you around

00:55:49like a target,

00:55:50fighting off endless

00:55:51sea monsters day and night

00:55:52just to keep you alive!

00:55:54Since he's dying anyway,

00:55:55I'll devour you

00:55:56and his precious son instead!

00:55:59Who did you say

00:56:00you're going

00:56:01to devour us?!

00:56:19I fell into the hands of the most ruthless siren in the deep sea.

00:56:23I survived by lying to his face,

00:56:25convincing him I was his fiancée.

00:56:28The good news,

00:56:29I'm alive

00:56:30and the monster king

00:56:31has a five-year-old son

00:56:32who calls me mommy.

00:56:34Mother!

00:56:34The bad news,

00:56:35he despises liars.

00:56:37Everyone who's ever lied to him

00:56:38has been eaten.

00:56:39Then his enemies find out the truth

00:56:41and they want me and the kid dead.

00:56:45Now the only thing

00:56:46standing between me and the abyss

00:56:48is the one secret

00:56:49he can never know.

00:56:49The submarine's engine had exploded,

00:56:52dragging me down

00:56:53into the forbidden trench

00:56:54beneath the sea court.

00:56:55The water was pitch black.

00:56:57My suit was destroyed.

00:56:58I should have been drowning.

00:56:59A perfect catalyst.

00:57:01Oxygen suddenly filled my lungs.

00:57:03I was breathing underwater.

00:57:04Then I smelled blood.

00:57:06A lot of blood.

00:57:07A tall, terrifying figure

00:57:09glided out of the darkness.

00:57:10Black scales rippled over his chest,

00:57:12his blue eyes cold and lifeless.

00:57:20Your blood

00:57:21will wake the power

00:57:23sleeping inside me.

00:57:26You can't kill me!

00:57:29I'm your fiancé.

00:57:32Everything went dead silent.

00:57:36What do you mean by that?

00:57:37My mind raced.

00:57:38I'd taken the right gamble.

00:57:39I'd read the classified

00:57:40oceanographic files before the die.

00:57:42They mentioned an ancient siren kingdom

00:57:44beneath this trench.

00:57:45The files warned that sirens

00:57:46were utterly ruthless,

00:57:48except to their mates,

00:57:49whom they protected

00:57:49with violent devotion.

00:57:51A mysterious high-energy blast

00:57:52in these waters last year

00:57:53had wiped the memories

00:57:54of every creature down here.

00:57:56If he was one of them,

00:57:57I could bullshit my way out of this.

00:57:59I came looking for you.

00:58:00I wiped away tears,

00:58:02spinning the saddest love story possible.

00:58:07We've been engaged

00:58:08since we were kids.

00:58:10After your accident,

00:58:11you lost your memory,

00:58:12but I never stopped

00:58:13searching for you.

00:58:14Father,

00:58:15he's lying!

00:58:16I froze.

00:58:17A little boy

00:58:18swam out of the shadows.

00:58:19He had dark hair

00:58:20and icy golden eyes,

00:58:21looking like a mini replica

00:58:22of the lethal prince.

00:58:24A glowing blue pearl

00:58:25flowed above his tiny palm.

00:58:27Let's verify it.

00:58:28Before I could run,

00:58:29he grabbed my wrist.

00:58:30A searing wave of heat

00:58:32shot through my veins.

00:58:33A silver-blue mark lit up my skin

00:58:34like a crescent moon

00:58:36under the sea.

00:58:38Lucian?

00:58:39Father,

00:58:40she is not your fiancé.

00:58:42My heart stopped.

00:58:43Game over.

00:58:44The kids saw straight through me.

00:58:45I closed my eyes,

00:58:47waiting for the claws

00:58:47to tear me apart.

00:58:49I think she's my mommy!

00:58:57Before I could process

00:58:58what happened,

00:58:59Tails' massive tail

00:59:01whipped around my waist,

00:59:02yanking me down

00:59:03into the freezing darkness

00:59:04of the deep abyss.

00:59:06Lucian swam effortlessly

00:59:07beside us.

00:59:10Shapes moved inside

00:59:11the dark coral walls,

00:59:12jagged teeth

00:59:13and glowing eyes

00:59:14watching me

00:59:14like I was a fresh meal.

00:59:15The second Kale swept past,

00:59:17every shadow recoiled

00:59:19in sheer terror.

00:59:20Goosebumps erupted

00:59:21over my skin.

00:59:21The moment Kale's tail loosened,

00:59:23I panicked and grabbed

00:59:24onto his bare waist

00:59:25for safety.

00:59:26He paused,

00:59:26but surprisingly,

00:59:27he didn't shake me off.

00:59:29Instead,

00:59:30he dragged us straight

00:59:30into a forgotten,

00:59:31abandoned palace

00:59:32deep in the abyss.

00:59:34Taking one cautious step,

00:59:36I kicked a heavy golden trunk

00:59:37and lost my balance.

00:59:44You can't see?

00:59:47Did I seriously father an heir

00:59:49with a night-blind woman?

00:59:50My mouth twitched,

00:59:51but I looked right

00:59:52toward his voice.

00:59:55I can't see in the dark,

00:59:56yet you still insisted

00:59:58on marrying me.

00:59:59That only proves one thing.

01:00:01You used to love me

01:00:02more than life itself.

01:00:03A suffocating silence

01:00:05fell over the grand hall.

01:00:09Father,

01:00:10did you really love

01:00:11mommy that much?

01:00:14Lucien, shut up.

01:00:16Fearing I had pushed

01:00:16my luck too far,

01:00:17I quickly changed my tune.

01:00:19Give me a little light

01:00:20and I can see fine.

01:00:21Kale flicked his fingers.

01:00:22The entire pitch black palace

01:00:24was instantly bathed

01:00:25in a breathtaking,

01:00:26dreamlike azu glow.

01:00:27I let out a long breath,

01:00:29turned to the lethal siren

01:00:30and gave him my warmest smile.

01:00:31Since you don't remember

01:00:32the past,

01:00:33let's start over.

01:00:34My name is Elena.

01:00:38Kale.

01:00:40Obviously,

01:00:41he didn't fully buy my story.

01:00:42I had no powers

01:00:43and zero chance

01:00:44of surviving this monster-infested

01:00:45ocean floor on my own.

01:00:47To stay alive,

01:00:47I had to chain myself

01:00:48to him and his kid.

01:00:49Kale's unblinking golden eyes

01:00:51stared right through me.

01:00:52You claim to be my fiancé.

01:00:53Where is the proof?

01:00:55I reached for the pendant

01:00:55around my neck,

01:00:56a worn silver half-moon shell.

01:00:58I'd been wearing it

01:00:58when they rushed me to the hospital

01:00:59after the last dive accident.

01:01:00I had no idea

01:01:01where it came from,

01:01:01but that didn't stop me

01:01:03from making up a story

01:01:03on the spot.

01:01:04This was your promise token

01:01:06to me.

01:01:08You have the other half.

01:01:09When the two moonshells join,

01:01:11they form the royal crest.

01:01:13It means we can never be parted.

01:01:18Then why do I not have it?

01:01:20You were caught

01:01:21in that terrible explosion.

01:01:23My voice trembled perfectly

01:01:24as I forced tears into my eyes.

01:01:28Even if you lost it in the chaos,

01:01:30it doesn't matter.

01:01:31As long as you're alive,

01:01:33that's enough for me.

01:01:34I closed the distance

01:01:35and pressed myself

01:01:35against his rock-hard chest,

01:01:37striking right at his heart.

01:01:38You never used to look at me

01:01:40so coldly,

01:01:40I whispered,

01:01:42resting my hand

01:01:42over his pounding pulse.

01:01:44You used to say

01:01:45I was your greatest treasure,

01:01:46that if I called you husband,

01:01:48you would give your life for me.

01:01:54Our bond can't just disappear, right?

01:01:58A faint, unexpected flush of red

01:02:00spread across the sea prince's cheeks.

01:02:02He jolted,

01:02:03shoving me away

01:02:03as he retreated

01:02:04to the palace doors.

01:02:05Foolish human!

01:02:06Do not think I will fall

01:02:07for your words so easily!

01:02:09With that,

01:02:09he fled into the dark waters.

01:02:13I sat back on the coral throne,

01:02:15wiped my fake tears,

01:02:17and snit it.

01:02:18He actually blushed.

01:02:20Outside,

01:02:21the terrifying siren lord

01:02:22leaned against the marble pillar,

01:02:24the tips of his pointed ears

01:02:26burning red.

01:02:29Lucian,

01:02:30she might actually be my mate.

01:02:32What do I do?

01:02:33She looked at me

01:02:33like she wanted to eat me alive.

01:02:39Over the next few days,

01:02:40Kyle barely showed up.

01:02:42He only returned

01:02:43to toss me looted

01:02:43human canned food

01:02:44in pretty dresses,

01:02:45then vanished back

01:02:47into the deep.

01:02:48I felt like a stray pet.

01:02:50Luckily,

01:02:51Lucian sneak over daily,

01:02:52his golden eyes

01:02:53sparkling

01:02:54as he munched on spam.

01:02:56My heart softened,

01:02:58but I kept my focus.

01:03:00Lucian,

01:03:01is there a secret pathway

01:03:02back to the surface?

01:03:03Before he could answer,

01:03:04the water outside

01:03:05churned violently.

01:03:06Kale staggered in,

01:03:07dropped a tin of tuna

01:03:08into my lap,

01:03:09and collapsed

01:03:09onto the stone floor.

01:03:11Kale!

01:03:13Pulling aside

01:03:13his blood-soaked toque,

01:03:14I sucked in a breath.

01:03:15A bone-deep wound

01:03:16gabed across his chest,

01:03:18oozing black,

01:03:18venomous blood.

01:03:19Outside,

01:03:20dozens of scrimmin' eyes

01:03:21ignited in the dark,

01:03:23scavenger monsters

01:03:23smelling weakness.

01:03:24Gritting my teeth,

01:03:25I dragged him

01:03:26onto the giant cab bed.

01:03:27I tore a strip

01:03:28from my dress.

01:03:29Then I hastily wiped

01:03:30the black blood

01:03:31from his wound.

01:03:32Lucian!

01:03:32Medicine!

01:03:33Lucian swam frantically

01:03:34to a shelf

01:03:35and grabbed a black

01:03:36healing pill,

01:03:36handing it straight to me.

01:03:37I tried to force it

01:03:38into Kale's mouth,

01:03:39but his jaw was locked

01:03:40tight in unconsciousness.

01:03:41Mommy,

01:03:42pass him the pill

01:03:42with your mouth.

01:03:43Give father CPR

01:03:44or a kiss.

01:03:45You've watched

01:03:45too many human movies.

01:03:47If my hands can't

01:03:48pry it open,

01:03:48how will a kiss work?

01:03:49True love's kiss

01:03:50cures everything.

01:03:51Fine.

01:03:52Why argue

01:03:52with a five-year-old?

01:03:53I straddled Kale's hips

01:03:54and forcibly pried

01:03:55at his jaw.

01:03:56Kale!

01:03:56You can't die!

01:03:57If you die,

01:03:57I'm doomed!

01:03:58Oh,

01:03:58mommy is dying for love.

01:04:00If father dies,

01:04:01she won't live either.

01:04:03I accidentally

01:04:04popped Kale's jaw

01:04:05right out of place.

01:04:08At that exact moment,

01:04:10those icy golden eyes

01:04:11slowly opened,

01:04:12staring coldly

01:04:13straight into mine.

01:04:18Kale!

01:04:19You're awake!

01:04:21Kale stared dead black,

01:04:23raising a hand

01:04:24to snap his jaw

01:04:25back into place

01:04:25with a dry crack.

01:04:26Get off me.

01:04:30I scrambled away immediately.

01:04:32The pill worked magic.

01:04:33His black blood

01:04:34stopped flowing

01:04:35within seconds.

01:04:36Pushing himself up,

01:04:38his tunic slipped

01:04:38to reveal

01:04:39a scarred,

01:04:40muscular chest.

01:04:41You were dying!

01:04:42I only removed

01:04:43your tunic

01:04:44to check the wound.

01:04:45Besides,

01:04:45we're engaged.

01:04:46It's not like

01:04:46I haven't seen it before.

01:04:47Do that again,

01:04:48and I'll slit your throat.

01:04:50I breathed

01:04:51a sigh of relief.

01:04:52Classic tough guy

01:04:52ocean lord.

01:04:53Suddenly,

01:04:54my heart

01:04:54violently constricted.

01:04:56A wave

01:04:57of bone-chilling

01:04:58frost erupted

01:04:59from my veins,

01:05:00turning my blood

01:05:01to ice.

01:05:04White mist

01:05:05escaped my lips.

01:05:09What's wrong

01:05:10with you?

01:05:11Father!

01:05:12She touched

01:05:13your siren venom

01:05:13when wiping

01:05:14your chest!

01:05:15Pure survival

01:05:15instinct took over.

01:05:17Craving warmth,

01:05:17I lunged forward,

01:05:18throwing my arms

01:05:19around Kale's neck.

01:05:20Let go, human.

01:05:22Sharp black claws

01:05:23suddenly extended

01:05:24from his fingertips,

01:05:25pressing against

01:05:26my throat.

01:05:26Father!

01:05:27Mommy just kissed you,

01:05:29and she said

01:05:29she wants to die for you!

01:05:31She...

01:05:31What?

01:05:33Kale...

01:05:34Don't leave me.

01:05:37For a long moment,

01:05:38the rager-sharp claws

01:05:40hanging above my throat

01:05:41slowly retracted,

01:05:43Kale's fingers

01:05:43awkwardly sinking

01:05:44into my damp hair.

01:05:46Troublesome human.

01:05:47I don't die that easily.

01:05:49He scoffed,

01:05:50voice laced with panic.

01:05:51Lifting my freezing hand,

01:05:53he spotted the black mark

01:05:54on my finger.

01:05:55Stupid girl.

01:05:56He muttered,

01:05:57lowering his head,

01:05:58taking my finger

01:05:59into his mouth,

01:06:00his warm tongue

01:06:00wrapped around the wound,

01:06:02metinemalously sucking out

01:06:03the venom

01:06:03into his own body.

01:06:07It was the best sleep

01:06:08I'd had since arriving

01:06:09in this abyss.

01:06:10When I blinked open

01:06:11my eyes,

01:06:12the icy venom was gone,

01:06:13but terror instantly struck.

01:06:15My face was pressed

01:06:16against a cold,

01:06:17muscular chest,

01:06:18my arms locked

01:06:19around Kale's waist.

01:06:20I snapped my head up,

01:06:21straight into a pair

01:06:22of bloodshot golden eyes.

01:06:24Enjoying the hug?

01:06:27Kale's raspy voice rasped.

01:06:29He hadn't slept a wink.

01:06:33Kale,

01:06:34you're fully healed?

01:06:37Kale gave me a chilling look,

01:06:39flexed his numb arm

01:06:40and pulled on his dark tunic.

01:06:44Where are you going?

01:06:47To hunt.

01:06:50He spit coldly,

01:06:52vanishing into the abyss.

01:06:54So that's why he left every day.

01:06:56In this ruthless siren territory,

01:06:58it was kill or be killed.

01:06:59To survive,

01:07:00he had to keep hunting

01:07:01the wild oceanic beasts.

01:07:03This place was a lethal battleground.

01:07:05I had to find a way out.

01:07:07While Kale was gone,

01:07:08Lucien stayed behind.

01:07:09Seeing the kid shivering

01:07:10from the cold

01:07:11left behind by the venom,

01:07:12I coaxed him over,

01:07:13wrapping him in my dry coat

01:07:14and feeding him

01:07:15the rest of the canned meat.

01:07:16As I gently combed

01:07:17his dark hair,

01:07:18I tried to gather intel.

01:07:20Lucien,

01:07:21can humans really never survive

01:07:22in the ocean without Kale?

01:07:23Lucien looked up

01:07:24with pure trust,

01:07:25pulling out a glowing blue orb,

01:07:27the siren's pearl.

01:07:28Mommy,

01:07:29if a human swallows this,

01:07:31you can breathe underwater,

01:07:32swim freely,

01:07:33and ignore deep sea pressure forever.

01:07:35My ticket to freedom.

01:07:36Suddenly,

01:07:37a faint,

01:07:38familiar voice

01:07:39echoed outside.

01:07:40Lucien,

01:07:41come out.

01:07:43Father's back!

01:07:44He eagerly swam

01:07:46toward the grand entrance.

01:07:48I froze,

01:07:49remembering Kale's icy warning.

01:07:51Do not step outside

01:07:52this palace when I'm gone.

01:07:54Wait,

01:07:55Lucien!

01:07:58Mommy!

01:07:59Help me!

01:08:01Hands shook,

01:08:02the cold siren's pearl

01:08:04resting in my palm.

01:08:05Chasing after him

01:08:06as a helpless human

01:08:07meant instant death.

01:08:08Fleeing meant

01:08:09leaving the kid

01:08:10to be defoured.

01:08:11Damn it!

01:08:21Swallowing the siren royal pearl,

01:08:23the suffocating pressure vanished.

01:08:25I swam out with all my strength.

01:08:27In the gloom ahead

01:08:28stood a dark siren.

01:08:30His eyes glowed

01:08:31a deadly crimson.

01:08:32Gross,

01:08:33slimy tentacles

01:08:34sprouted from his back,

01:08:35pinching Lucien

01:08:36tightly in the air.

01:08:39Mommy!

01:08:40Let him go!

01:08:42Ignoring the danger,

01:08:43I lunged forward

01:08:44and threw my arms

01:08:44around Lucien,

01:08:45using my body

01:08:46to shield the terrified boy.

01:08:47A sharp rock

01:08:48cut my cheek.

01:08:49As a single drop

01:08:49of my blood

01:08:50diffused into the icy sea water,

01:08:52dozens of crimson eyes

01:08:53instantly alighted

01:08:54in the surrounding darkness.

01:08:55The dark siren's breath

01:08:56hitched.

01:08:57He frantically

01:08:57condensed the blood

01:08:58with his magic

01:08:59and swallowed it whole,

01:09:00his eyes flaring

01:09:01with primal madness.

01:09:02The perfect human catalyst.

01:09:04Mine for the taking!

01:09:08The tentacles

01:09:09squeezed tight,

01:09:10crushing my ribs

01:09:11and forcing all the air

01:09:12from my lungs.

01:09:13I hugged Lucien tightly,

01:09:14choking in agony

01:09:15as darkness

01:09:16edged my vision.

01:09:17Father!

01:09:18Save us!

01:09:22Don't bother screaming.

01:09:24He's trapped

01:09:25in a deadly ambush.

01:09:26He isn't coming back.

01:09:28My heart sank

01:09:29into ice.

01:09:30This...

01:09:31was...

01:09:32What happened to Kale?

01:09:35He's being ripped apart

01:09:36by scavengers.

01:09:37Your sovereign blood

01:09:39could instantly restore

01:09:40his royal powers

01:09:41and let him reclaim

01:09:42the sea throne.

01:09:43Yet that fool

01:09:44refused to touch

01:09:45a single hair on you!

01:09:47My mind went

01:09:48completely blank.

01:09:49What?

01:09:50Instead of eating you,

01:09:51he dragged you around

01:09:52like a target,

01:09:53fighting off endless

01:09:54sea monsters

01:09:55day and night

01:09:56just to keep you alive!

01:09:57Since he's dying anyway,

01:09:59I'll devour you

01:10:00and his precious son

01:10:01instead!

01:10:03Who did you say

01:10:04you're going to devour us?

01:10:23I fell into the hands

01:10:24of the most ruthless siren

01:10:26in the deep sea.

01:10:27I survived by lying

01:10:28to his face,

01:10:29convincing him

01:10:29I was his fiancee.

01:10:31The good news,

01:10:33I'm alive

01:10:34and the monster king

01:10:35has a five-year-old son

01:10:36who calls me mommy.

01:10:37Mother!

01:10:38The bad news,

01:10:39he despises liars.

01:10:40Everyone who's ever

01:10:41lied to him

01:10:42has been eaten.

01:10:43Then his enemies

01:10:44find out the truth

01:10:45and they want me

01:10:46and the kid dead.

01:10:49Now the only thing

01:10:50standing between me

01:10:51and the abyss

01:10:51is the one secret

01:10:52he can never know.

01:10:54The submarine's engine

01:10:55had exploded,

01:10:56dragging me down

01:10:56into the forbidden trench

01:10:57beneath the sea court.

01:10:58The water was pitch black.

01:11:00My suit was destroyed.

01:11:02I should have been drowning.

01:11:03A perfect catalyst.

01:11:05Oxygen suddenly filled my lungs.

01:11:07I was breathing underwater.

01:11:08Then I smelled blood.

01:11:09A lot of blood.

01:11:11A tall, terrifying figure

01:11:12glided out of the darkness.

01:11:14Black scales rippled

01:11:15over his chest,

01:11:16his blue eyes cold

01:11:17and lifeless.

01:11:24Your blood

01:11:25will wake the power

01:11:26sleeping inside me.

01:11:29You can't kill me!

01:11:33I'm your fiancé.

01:11:35Everything went

01:11:36dead silent.

01:11:39What do you mean by that?

01:11:41My mind raced.

01:11:42I'd taken the right gamble.

01:11:43I'd read the classified

01:11:44oceanographic files

01:11:45before the die.

01:11:46They mentioned

01:11:47an ancient siren kingdom

01:11:48beneath this trench.

01:11:49The files warned

01:11:50that sirens were

01:11:50utterly ruthless,

01:11:52except to their mates,

01:11:53whom they protected

01:11:53with violent devotion.

01:11:54A mysterious high-energy

01:11:56blast in these waters

01:11:57last year

01:11:57had wiped the memories

01:11:58of every creature

01:11:59down here.

01:12:00If he was one of them,

01:12:01I could bullshit

01:12:01my way out of this.

01:12:02I came looking for you.

01:12:04I wiped away tears,

01:12:06spinning the saddest

01:12:07love story possible.

01:12:11We've been engaged

01:12:12since we were kids.

01:12:13After your accident,

01:12:14you lost your memory.

01:12:15But I never stopped

01:12:16searching for you.

01:12:18Father,

01:12:19she's lying.

01:12:20I froze.

01:12:21A little boy

01:12:22swam out of the shadows.

01:12:23He had dark hair

01:12:23and icy golden eyes,

01:12:25looking like a mini replica

01:12:26of the lethal prince.

01:12:27A glowing blue pearl

01:12:28float above his tiny palm.

01:12:31Let's verify it.

01:12:32Before I could run,

01:12:33he grabbed my wrist.

01:12:34A searing wave of heat

01:12:35shot through my veins.

01:12:37A silver-blue mark

01:12:37lit up my skin

01:12:38like a crescent

01:12:39moon under the sea.

01:12:41Lucian?

01:12:43Father,

01:12:44she is not your fiancé.

01:12:46My heart stopped.

01:12:47Game over.

01:12:48The kids saw

01:12:48straight through me.

01:12:49I closed my eyes,

01:12:50waiting for the claws

01:12:51to tear me apart.

01:12:53I think she's my mommy.

01:13:01Before I could process

01:13:02what happened,

01:13:03Kale's massive tail

01:13:04whipped around my waist,

01:13:06yanking me down

01:13:07into the freezing darkness

01:13:08of the deep abyss.

01:13:10Lucian swam effortlessly

01:13:11beside us.

01:13:13Shapes moved inside

01:13:14the dark coral walls,

01:13:16jagged teeth

01:13:17and glowing eyes

01:13:17watching me

01:13:18like I was a fresh meal.

01:13:19The second Kale

01:13:20swept past,

01:13:21every shadow recoiled

01:13:22in sheer terror.

01:13:23Goosebumps erupted

01:13:24over my skin.

01:13:25The moment Kale's tail loosened,

01:13:27I panicked and grabbed

01:13:28onto his bare waist

01:13:29for safety.

01:13:29He paused,

01:13:30but surprisingly,

01:13:31he didn't shake me off.

01:13:33Instead,

01:13:33he dragged us straight

01:13:34into a forgotten,

01:13:35abandoned palace

01:13:36deep in the abyss.

01:13:38Taking one cautious step,

01:13:40I kicked a heavy golden trunk

01:13:41and lost my balance.

01:13:48You can't see?

01:13:51Did I seriously father an heir

01:13:53with a night-blind woman?

01:13:54My mouth twitched,

01:13:55but I looked right

01:13:56toward his voice.

01:13:58I can't see in the dark,

01:14:00yet you still insisted

01:14:01on marrying me.

01:14:03That only proves one thing.

01:14:04You used to love me

01:14:05more than life itself.

01:14:07A suffocating silence

01:14:08fell over the grand hall.

01:14:12Father,

01:14:13did you really love

01:14:15Mommy that much?

01:14:18Lucien, shut up.

01:14:19Fearing I had pushed

01:14:20my luck too far,

01:14:21I quickly changed my tune.

01:14:23Give me a little light

01:14:24and I can see fine.

01:14:25Kale flicked his fingers.

01:14:26The entire pitch-black palace

01:14:28was instantly bathed

01:14:29in a breathtaking,

01:14:30dreamlike azu glow.

01:14:30I let out a long breath,

01:14:32turned to the lethal siren

01:14:34and gave him my warmest smile.

01:14:35Since you don't remember the past,

01:14:37let's start over.

01:14:38My name is Elena.

01:14:41Kale.

01:14:44Obviously,

01:14:44he didn't fully buy my story.

01:14:46I had no powers

01:14:47and zero chance

01:14:48of surviving this monster-infested

01:14:49ocean floor on my own.

01:14:50To stay alive,

01:14:51I had to chain myself

01:14:52to him and his kid.

01:14:53Kale's unblinking golden eyes

01:14:55stared right through me.

01:14:56You claim to be my fiancé.

01:14:57Where is the proof?

01:14:58I reached for the pendant

01:14:59around my neck,

01:15:00a worn silver half-moon shell.

01:15:01I'd been wearing it

01:15:02when they rushed me to the hospital

01:15:03after the last dive accident.

01:15:04I had no idea

01:15:05where it came from,

01:15:05but that didn't stop me

01:15:06from making up a story

01:15:07on the spot.

01:15:08This was your promise token to me.

01:15:12You have the other half.

01:15:13When the two moonshells join,

01:15:15they form the royal crest.

01:15:16It means we can never be parted.

01:15:22Then why do I not have it?

01:15:24You were caught

01:15:24in that terrible explosion.

01:15:26My voice trembled perfectly

01:15:28as I forced tears into my eyes.

01:15:32Even if you lost it in the chaos,

01:15:34it doesn't matter.

01:15:35As long as you're alive,

01:15:36that's enough for me.

01:15:37I closed the distance

01:15:38and pressed myself

01:15:39against his rock-hard chest,

01:15:41striking right at his heart.

01:15:42You never used to look at me

01:15:43so coldly.

01:15:44I whispered,

01:15:45resting my hand

01:15:46over his pounding pulse.

01:15:48You used to say

01:15:48I was your greatest treasure,

01:15:50that if I called you husband,

01:15:51you would give your life for me.

01:15:58Our bond can't just disappear, right?

01:16:02A faint, unexpected flush of red

01:16:04spread across the sea prince's cheeks.

01:16:06He jolted,

01:16:07shoving me away

01:16:07as he retreated

01:16:08to the palace doors.

01:16:09Foolish human!

01:16:10Do not think I will fall

01:16:10for your words so easily!

01:16:12With that,

01:16:13he fled into the dark waters.

01:16:17I sat back on the coral throne,

01:16:19wiped my fake tears,

01:16:20and snit it.

01:16:22He actually blushed.

01:16:24Outside,

01:16:25the terrifying siren lord

01:16:26leaned against the marble pillar,

01:16:28the tips of his pointed ears

01:16:29burning red.

01:16:33Lucian,

01:16:33she might actually be my mate.

01:16:35What do I do?

01:16:36She looked at me

01:16:37like she wanted to eat me alive.

01:16:43Over the next few days,

01:16:44Kyle barely showed up.

01:16:45He only returned

01:16:46to toss me looted

01:16:47human canned food

01:16:48and pretty dresses,

01:16:49then vanished back

01:16:50into the deep.

01:16:51I felt like a stray pet.

01:16:54Luckily,

01:16:54Lucian sneaked over daily,

01:16:56his golden eyes sparkling

01:16:58as he munched on spam.

01:17:00My heart softened,

01:17:02but I kept my focus.

01:17:04Lucian,

01:17:05is there a secret pathway

01:17:06back to the surface?

01:17:07Before he could answer,

01:17:08the water outside

01:17:09churned violently.

01:17:10Kale staggered in,

01:17:11dropped a tin of tuna

01:17:12into my lap

01:17:13and collapsed

01:17:13onto the stone floor.

01:17:14Kale!

01:17:16Pulling aside

01:17:17his blood-soaked toque,

01:17:18I sucked in a breath.

01:17:19A bone-deep wound

01:17:20gabed across his chest,

01:17:21oozing black,

01:17:22venomous blood.

01:17:23Outside,

01:17:24dozens of scrimmin' eyes

01:17:25glided in the dark,

01:17:26scavenger monsters

01:17:27smelling weakness.

01:17:28Gritting my teeth,

01:17:29I dragged him

01:17:30onto the giant cab bed.

01:17:31I tore a strip

01:17:32from my dress,

01:17:33then I hastily wiped

01:17:34the black blood

01:17:35from his wound.

01:17:36Lucian,

01:17:36medicine!

01:17:37Lucian swam frantically

01:17:38to a shelf

01:17:39and grabbed a black

01:17:39healing pill,

01:17:40handing it straight to me.

01:17:41I tried to force it

01:17:42into Kale's mouth,

01:17:43but his jaw was locked

01:17:44tight in unconsciousness.

01:17:45Mommy,

01:17:45pass him the pill

01:17:46with your mouth.

01:17:47Give father CPR

01:17:48or a kiss.

01:17:49You've watched

01:17:49too many human movies.

01:17:50If my hands can't

01:17:51pry it open,

01:17:52how will a kiss work?

01:17:53True love's kiss

01:17:54cures everything.

01:17:55Fine.

01:17:56Why argue with a five-year-old?

01:17:57I straddled Kale's hips

01:17:58and forcibly pried

01:17:59at his jaw.

01:17:59Kale,

01:18:00you can't die.

01:18:01If you die,

01:18:01I'm doomed!

01:18:02Oh,

01:18:02mommy is dying for love.

01:18:03If father dies,

01:18:04she won't live either.

01:18:06I accidentally popped

01:18:08Kale's jaw

01:18:09right out of place.

01:18:12At that exact moment,

01:18:13those icy golden eyes

01:18:15slowly opened,

01:18:16staring coldly

01:18:17straight into mine.

01:18:21Kale,

01:18:22you're awake!

01:18:25Kale stared deadplak,

01:18:27raising a hand

01:18:27to snap his jaw

01:18:28back into place

01:18:29with a dry crack.

01:18:30Get off me.

01:18:33I scrambled away

01:18:35immediately.

01:18:36The pill worked magic.

01:18:37His black blood

01:18:38stopped flowing

01:18:38within seconds.

01:18:40Pushing himself up,

01:18:41his tunic slipped

01:18:42to reveal

01:18:43a scarred,

01:18:43muscular chest.

01:18:45You were dying!

01:18:46I only removed

01:18:47your tunic

01:18:47to check the wound.

01:18:48Besides,

01:18:49we're engaged.

01:18:49It's not like

01:18:50I haven't seen it before.

01:18:51Do that again,

01:18:52and I'll slit your throat.

01:18:53I breathed a sigh

01:18:54of relief.

01:18:55Classic tough guy

01:18:56Ocean Lord.

01:18:57Suddenly,

01:18:58my heart violently

01:18:59constricted.

01:19:00A wave of bone-chilling

01:19:02frost erupted

01:19:03from my veins,

01:19:04turning my blood

01:19:05to ice.

01:19:08White mist

01:19:09escaped my lips.

01:19:13What's wrong with you?

01:19:15Father!

01:19:16She touched

01:19:16your siren venom

01:19:17when wiping your chest!

01:19:18Pure survival instinct

01:19:20took over.

01:19:20Craving warmth,

01:19:21I lunged forward,

01:19:22throwing my arms

01:19:23around Kale's neck.

01:19:24Let go, human.

01:19:25Sharp black claws

01:19:27suddenly extended

01:19:27from his fingertips,

01:19:29pressing against my throat.

01:19:30Father!

01:19:31Mommy just kissed you!

01:19:32And she said

01:19:33she wants to die for you!

01:19:34She...

01:19:35What?

01:19:36Kale...

01:19:38Don't leave me.

01:19:40For a long moment,

01:19:42the rager-sharp claws

01:19:43hanging above my throat

01:19:44slowly retracted,

01:19:47Kale's fingers

01:19:47awkwardly sinking

01:19:48into my damp hair.

01:19:50Troublesome human.

01:19:51I don't die that easily.

01:19:53He scoffed,

01:19:53voice laced with panic.

01:19:55Lifting my freezing hand,

01:19:56he spotted the black mark

01:19:58on my finger.

01:19:59Stupid girl.

01:20:00He muttered,

01:20:01lowering his head,

01:20:02taking my finger

01:20:02into his mouth,

01:20:03his warm tongue

01:20:04wrapped around the wound,

01:20:05metinemolously sucking out

01:20:07the venom

01:20:07into his own body.

01:20:10It was the best sleep

01:20:12I'd had since arriving

01:20:13in this abyss.

01:20:14When I blinked open my eyes,

01:20:15the icy venom was gone,

01:20:17but terror instantly struck.

01:20:18My face was pressed

01:20:19against a cold,

01:20:20muscular chest.

01:20:21My arms locked

01:20:22around Kale's waist.

01:20:23I snapped my head up,

01:20:25straight into a pair

01:20:26of bloodshot golden eyes.

01:20:28Enjoying the hug?

01:20:30Kale's raspy voice rasped.

01:20:32He hadn't slept a wink.

01:20:37Kale,

01:20:37you're fully healed?

01:20:41Kale gave me

01:20:42a chilling look,

01:20:43flexed his numb arm

01:20:44and pulled on

01:20:45his dark tunic.

01:20:48Where are you going?

01:20:51To hunt.

01:20:54He spit coldly,

01:20:56vanishing into the abyss.

01:20:57So that's why

01:20:58he left every day.

01:20:59In this ruthless

01:21:00siren territory,

01:21:01it was kill or be killed

01:21:03to survive.

01:21:04He had to keep hunting

01:21:05the wild oceanette beasts.

01:21:07This place was

01:21:07a lethal battleground.

01:21:09I had to find a way out.

01:21:11While Kale was gone,

01:21:12Lucien stayed behind.

01:21:13Seeing the kid shivering

01:21:14from the cold

01:21:15left behind by the venom,

01:21:16I coaxed him over,

01:21:17wrapping him in my dry coat

01:21:18and feeding him

01:21:19the rest of the canned meat.

01:21:20As I gently combed

01:21:21his dark hair,

01:21:22I tried to gather intel.

01:21:23Lucien,

01:21:24can humans really never

01:21:25survive in the ocean

01:21:26without Kale?

01:21:27Lucien looked up

01:21:28with pure trust,

01:21:29pulling out a glowing

01:21:30blue orb,

01:21:30the siren's pearl.

01:21:32Mommy,

01:21:33if a human swallows this,

01:21:34you can breathe underwater,

01:21:36swim freely,

01:21:36and ignore deep sea

01:21:37pressure forever.

01:21:38My ticket to freedom.

01:21:40Suddenly,

01:21:41a faint,

01:21:42familiar voice

01:21:42echoed outside.

01:21:43Lucien,

01:21:44come out.

01:21:46Father's back!

01:21:48He eagerly swam

01:21:49toward the grand entrance.

01:21:51I froze,

01:21:52remembering Kale's

01:21:54icy warning.

01:21:55Do not step outside

01:21:56this palace

01:21:57when I'm gone.

01:21:58Wait, Lucien!

01:22:01Mommy!

01:22:02Help me!

01:22:05Hands shook,

01:22:06the cold siren's pearl

01:22:07resting in my palm.

01:22:09Chasing after him

01:22:10as a helpless human

01:22:11meant instant death.

01:22:12Fleeing meant

01:22:13leaving the kid

01:22:13to be defoured.

01:22:14Damn it!

01:22:25Swallowing the siren royal pearl,

01:22:27the suffocating pressure

01:22:28vanished.

01:22:28I swam out

01:22:29with all my strength.

01:22:31In the gloom ahead

01:22:32stood a dark siren.

01:22:33His eyes glowed

01:22:34a deadly crimson.

01:22:36Gross,

01:22:37slimy tentacles

01:22:37sprouted from his back,

01:22:39pinching Lucien

01:22:39tightly in the air.

01:22:42Mommy!

01:22:44Let him go!

01:22:46Ignoring the danger,

01:22:47I lunged forward

01:22:47and threw my arms

01:22:48around Lucien,

01:22:49using my body

01:22:49to shield the terrified boy.

01:22:51A sharp rock

01:22:51cut my cheek.

01:22:52As a single drop

01:22:53of my blood

01:22:54diffused into the icy

01:22:54seawater,

01:22:55dozens of crimson eyes

01:22:56instantly alighted

01:22:57in the surrounding darkness.

01:22:58The dark siren's breath

01:22:59hitched.

01:23:00He frantically condensed

01:23:01the blood with his magic

01:23:02and swallowed it whole,

01:23:04his eyes flaring

01:23:05with primal madness.

01:23:06The perfect human catalyst,

01:23:08mine for the taking!

01:23:11The tentacles squeezed tight,

01:23:13crushing my ribs

01:23:15and forcing all the air

01:23:16from my lungs.

01:23:16I hugged Lucien tightly,

01:23:18choking in agony

01:23:19as darkness

01:23:20edged my vision.

01:23:21Father!

01:23:22Save us!

01:23:25Don't bother screaming.

01:23:27He's trapped

01:23:28in a deadly ambush.

01:23:30He isn't coming back.

01:23:32My heart sank into ice.

01:23:34What?

01:23:35What happened to Kale?

01:23:38He's being ripped apart

01:23:40by scavengers.

01:23:41Your sovereign blood

01:23:42could instantly restore

01:23:43his royal powers

01:23:45and let him reclaim

01:23:46the sea throne.

01:23:47Yet that fool refused

01:23:48to touch a single hair on you!

01:23:51My mind went completely blank.

01:23:53What?

01:23:54Instead of eating you,

01:23:55he dragged you around

01:23:56like a target,

01:23:57fighting off endless

01:23:58sea monsters

01:23:59day and night

01:23:59just to keep you alive!

01:24:01Since he's dying anyway,

01:24:03I'll devour you

01:24:04and his precious son instead!

01:24:06Who did you say

01:24:08you're going to devour us?!
