00:01:00What are you talking about?
00:01:02Last night, she had personally handed me a cup of blessed potion.
00:01:07She had smiled and said,
00:01:08Drink this, and the Moon Goddess will bless you and Ryan with a bond that can never be broken.
00:01:15But when I woke up, the man lying beside me wasn't Ryan.
00:01:18It was at Karen.
00:01:19Both of us had been drugged.
00:01:21I wanted to explain, but Karen had already thrown on his cloak.
00:01:24His eyes were filled with nothing but disgust.
00:01:28Selina, I've never met a woman as shameless as you.
00:01:30You'd even go after your own sister's fiancée.
00:01:32Then Karen staggered backward until he reached Elena's side.
00:01:36His eyes were red as he looked at her.
00:01:39I've been tainted.
00:01:41You're so pure.
00:01:43I no longer deserve to marry you.
00:01:46Below the altar, Ryan stood motionless.
00:01:49He had once told me that even if the entire world despised my silver eyes, he would still marry me.
00:01:56But now, the way he looked at me was no different from looking at something filthy.
00:02:01I rushed down from the altar and grabbed his hand.
00:02:05Ryan, someone set me up.
00:02:07There was something wrong with that potion.
00:02:09It was Mother-
00:02:10Enough!
00:02:12He shook me off, his voice horsey.
00:02:16Selina and I used to think you were just unlucky.
00:02:19Now I realize you genuinely disgust me.
00:02:26I froze where I stood.
00:02:30Elena burst into tears and buried herself in our mother's arms.
00:02:33She had a pair of noble golden eyes.
00:02:36Pale, delicate, and fragile.
00:02:38She looked like the most innocent, sainty continent.
00:02:41Sister, I know you've always been jealous of me, but Karen is my fiancée.
00:02:45My mother gently wiped away her tears before walking over to me.
00:02:48Then, with her own hands, she removed the silver moon crest pinned to my chest.
00:02:52It was the symbol of a wolf bride's status.
00:02:54And in all fifteen years of my life, it was the only thing that had ever truly acknowledged my existence.
00:02:59I stared at her.
00:03:01Why?
00:03:01She leaned close to my ear, her voice so low that only I could hear it.
00:03:06Because Elena is far more suitable to be Luna.
00:03:10She has golden eyes.
00:03:12You're nothing but a stain.
00:03:16In that moment, I finally understood.
00:03:19This wasn't an accident.
00:03:21It wasn't a misunderstanding.
00:03:22It was a trap they had prepared long ago.
00:03:25That moment, Elena suddenly wiped away her tears and stepped forward.
00:03:28The position of Luna of the Silver Moon Wolf Pack cannot remain vacant.
00:03:32It would only make us the laughingstock of everyone.
00:03:34Since my sister committed such a disgraceful offense, let me atone for her sins in her place.
00:03:38Ryan, if you're willing, I can complete this blood oath in my sister's stead.
00:03:42Ryan turned around and placed the blood crown, the symbol of the queen, upon Elena's head.
00:03:48The entire hall erupted in cheers.
00:03:51My sister wore my wedding gown, held my Grimm's hand, and stood in the place that should have been mine.
00:03:57And I was publicly sentenced by my own mother.
00:04:00At Selena, Silver Eyes has defiled the blood oath.
00:04:02Strip her of the wolf crest and exiled her to the forbidden rift.
00:04:05She shall never return.
00:04:06As the temple knights dragged me down from the altar, Elena glanced at me, tears still linguined on her face.
00:04:11But the corners of her lips slowly curled forward.
00:04:15Fifteen years later, at the Inheritance Bankry of the Sacred Dominion Conforge,
00:04:19Nabals and power holders from all twelve clans gathered withneath one roof.
00:04:22They knelt before my Dragonbone Throne, competing to present Moon Tear Crystal Mines,
00:04:26Territorial Deeds, and Bloodline Oves as tribute.
00:04:29None of them knew that the Empress of the Sacred Dominion,
00:04:33the woman who controlled eighty percent of the continent's Moon Tear Crystal Mines,
00:04:38was the same silver-eyed outcast they had once trampled into the mud.
00:04:44Until my adopted son, Kyaris, walked into the Grand Hall holding a young woman's hand.
00:04:50She wore a silver-white formal gown.
00:04:53Her golden eyes shunned brightly, and pride radiated from her face.
00:04:57Her name was Ivy, Elena's daughter, and she bore the exact same face her mother had fifteen years ago.
00:05:03Kaio stopped before me, his tone unwavering.
00:05:05Mother, Ivy will become my blood oath mate.
00:05:08If you approve, we'll announce our engagement tonight.
00:05:10Every guest in the hall held their breath.
00:05:13Ivy lifted her chin slightly, waiting for me to bestow that honor upon her.
00:05:17She was the golden-eyed Saint-Gress of the Silvermoon Wolf Pack,
00:05:21Ryan's most cherished daughter and Hera's favorite granddaughter.
00:05:24She was used to people lowering their heads the moment they saw her.
00:05:28But she had forgotten one thing.
00:05:30This was not the Silvermoon Wolf Pack.
00:05:32This was the Sacred Dominion Confort.
00:05:34This was the throne I had clawed my way towards for fifteen years,
00:05:38inch by inch, through the bones and corpses of the forbidden rift.
00:05:43I looked at that face and remembered the wedding gown that had been torn apart fifteen years ago.
00:05:48I remembered the poison my mother had handed me.
00:05:50I remembered the cold look in Ryan's eyes.
00:05:53Then I set down my wine glass.
00:05:54The bass struck the dragonbone armrest.
00:05:56The sound was not loud, yet the entire hall fell silence in an instant.
00:06:00I do not approve.
00:06:02I said, Kairos froze.
00:06:04Mother?
00:06:04The smile on Ivy's face stiffened.
00:06:07I raised my eyes to her.
00:06:08You will never become the mate of the Sacred Dominion's heir, not in this lifetime.
00:06:12The crowd instantly exploded into an uproar.
00:06:15Ivy's eyes reddened at once.
00:06:16Why?
00:06:18What makes me unworthy?
00:06:20I looked at her and smiled.
00:06:22Because the thing your mother stole fifteen years ago is finally going to be returned today.
00:06:30Ivy's face went completely pale.
00:06:32Kairos stepped in front of her, his brows drawn tightly together.
00:06:35Mother, Ivy didn't do anything wrong.
00:06:38The grudges of the previous generation shouldn't fall on her shoulders.
00:06:41I looked at him.
00:06:42Do you even know what happened fifteen years ago?
00:06:44Ivy spoke before he-
00:06:46My mother told me everything!
00:06:48Fifteen years ago, you betrayed Alpha King Ryan and seduced Karen, my mother's fiancée.
00:06:52You were exiled because you committed a crime!
00:06:54She bit her lip, looking as though I were the one bullying her.
00:06:57But my mother always defended you.
00:07:00She said you were just too jealous of her.
00:07:02Muted whispers spread throughout the hall.
00:07:05Some of the older nobles lowered their heads.
00:07:07Back then, they had all stood with you at the moon goddess's altar.
00:07:11They had watched my wedding gown in green turn apart, and they had watched Elena put on my bridal dress.
00:07:16They knew about that stand, but they had never cared about the truth.
00:07:19Because the stories written by the victors were always clean and respectable.
00:07:23Before I could speak, the doors of the hall were suddenly pushed open.
00:07:26Ivy wasn't wrong.
00:07:28Everyone turned around.
00:07:29Elena had a rye.
00:07:30Fifteen years had passed, yet she was still breathtakingly beautiful in that fragile way of hers.
00:07:35Her golden hair was pinned up behind her head, and the royal crest of the silver moon wolf Pax Luna
00:07:39was embroidered on her white cloak.
00:07:41Behind her stood Alpha King Ryan, and Karen, the holy knight of the Shadow Leopard clan.
00:07:46Every person who had destroyed my life fifteen years ago had finally appeared before me once again.
00:07:51Elena's eyes stiffened for a certain second the moment she saw me.
00:07:55Sister.
00:07:56I never imagined the Empress of the Sacred Dominion would turn out to be you.
00:08:01She called me sister.
00:08:03But her tone sounded more like a reminder to everyone present that I had once been nothing more than the
00:08:10filthy, silver-eyed outcast of the silver moon wolf Pax.
00:08:14Caius frowned.
00:08:16Mother, you know them?
00:08:18I didn't answer.
00:08:19Ryan stepped forward.
00:08:20He still carried the same arrogance of an Alpha King, though the sharpness in his golden eyes was no longer
00:08:26what it had been.
00:08:27He looked at me and remained silent for a long moment.
00:08:32Selina.
00:08:36Hearing that name come from his lips almost made me laugh.
00:08:40Fifteen years ago, he had used that name when he told me he loved me.
00:08:44Later, he had used the same voice to say that I disgusted him.
00:08:47And now he wanted to use that name again, pretending there were still unresolved feelings between us.
00:08:51I spoke calmly.
00:08:53Your Majesty, this is a private banquet of the Sacred Dominion Consortium.
00:08:58You were not invited.
00:09:02I spoke calmly.
00:09:06Sister, if you're angry with me, then take it out on me.
00:09:10Why make things difficult for Ivy?
00:09:13She simply fell in love with Kairos.
00:09:16How interesting.
00:09:18I looked at her.
00:09:20Fifteen years ago, you also claimed that you had simply fallen in love with Ryan.
00:09:26Karen suddenly spoke.
00:09:27His voice called.
00:09:28Selina.
00:09:29What happened back then is already in the past.
00:09:32I turned to him.
00:09:33Of course it is.
00:09:34For you.
00:09:35After you woke up, all you had to do was call me shameless.
00:09:39But I had to spend fifteen years in the forbidden rift, carrying the crime you all forced onto me.
00:09:45Karen's throat bobbed.
00:09:46There was something complicated in his eyes.
00:09:49Pain, conflict, and a belated trace of doubt.
00:09:52But I didn't need it.
00:09:54Belated doubt was just like belated love.
00:09:56Both were worthless.
00:09:58Ryan took a deep breath.
00:10:00We didn't come here today to dig up the past.
00:10:03Ivy and Kaidas love each other.
00:10:06An alliance between our two clans would benefit the Sacred Dimension as well.
00:10:10Selina, don't let personal grudges interfere with the bigger picture.
00:10:14I gently set down my wine glass.
00:10:16You're lecturing me about the bigger picture?
00:10:18Ryan frowned.
00:10:20I lifted a hand, and the attendant behind me unfurled a black and gold contract scroll.
00:10:25It was covered with the markings of moon-tier crystal veins.
00:10:28My voice wasn't loud.
00:10:30Everyone heard it clearly.
00:10:31The Sacred Dominion Commodum controls 80% of the continent's moon-tier crystal mines.
00:10:36Last year, 70% of the Silvermoon Wolfpack's military supplies, potions, and room array maintenance came from Sacred Dominion resources.
00:10:44Ryan, you're standing on my territory, living off my mines, and still expecting me to prioritize your bigger picture.
00:10:59Ryan's expression instantly darted.
00:11:01For the first time, panic flashed Kostot Ivy's face.
00:11:05She grabbed Kaios' hand.
00:11:07Kaios, say something!
00:11:08Mother, do you really have to do this?
00:11:10Kyrus looked at me, and for the first time, there was anger in his eyes.
00:11:14Do what?
00:11:16I asked.
00:11:18Expose the truth in front of everyone?
00:11:20Or refuse to hand over the life's work I've built to my enemy's daughter?
00:11:25Kairos lowered his voice.
00:11:27Ivy isn't her mother.
00:11:29Neither are you me.
00:11:31You don't have the right to forgive them on my behalf.
00:11:33I fixed my gaze on him.
00:11:34The moment those words left my mouth, the last trace of hesitation vanished from Kairos' face.
00:11:39He took Ivy's hand and turned to face the guests.
00:11:41If Mother refuses to give us her blessing, then I'll make the announcement myself!
00:11:44I, Kairos, as the heir of the Sacred Dominion, choose Ivy as my blood oath mate.
00:11:48From this night forward, anyone who humiliates her becomes my enemy.
00:11:51The entire hall fell silent.
00:11:53A flash of triumph crossed Elena's eyes.
00:11:54Even Ryan slowly looked pleased.
00:11:56Kairos, I knew you wouldn't abandon me!
00:11:58Crying, Ivy threw herself into Kairos' arms.
00:12:00I watched them and suddenly felt tired, not heartbroken.
00:12:03Just tired of it all, I raised my hand.
00:12:07Bring me the blood oath scroll.
00:12:09Hope lit up in At Kairos' eyes.
00:12:12Mother, you agree?
00:12:12I smiled.
00:12:14Of course.
00:12:15Before Ivy could even breathe a sigh of relief, I finished the sentence.
00:12:18I agree to sever the blood oath between us as mother and son.
00:12:22The smile on Kayata's face frozen.
00:12:24What did you say?
00:12:26An attendant brought over a black parchment scroll.
00:12:29It was no ordinary contract.
00:12:31Someone recognized it.
00:12:33Their voice trembling.
00:12:36The soul-severation blood oath.
00:12:39Once it's signed, blood ties, inheritance rights, and family protection are all permanently cut off.
00:12:45Ivy instantly let let go of Kairos' hand.
00:12:48But Kairos didn't notice.
00:12:50He stared at me.
00:12:52Mother, just to stop me from marrying her, you're actually using something like this to threat me?
00:12:58I answered calmly.
00:13:00It's not a threat.
00:13:02It's a choice.
00:13:03You just said that anyone who humiliates Ivy is your enemy.
00:13:08Then an enemy like me shouldn't keep supporting you.
00:13:13Kairos' eyes reddened.
00:13:18I'm your only son.
00:13:20The hall became even quieter.
00:13:22I looked at him and suddenly remembered when he was a child.
00:13:26Fifteen years ago, when I was thrown into the Forbidden's Rift, I had still been carrying him in my arms.
00:13:32He had only been a newborn.
00:13:34He had cried until he could barely breathe.
00:13:36I had fed him with my own blood, used Moontir crystals to keep him alive, and washed away the curse
00:13:42on his silver eyes with dragon's blood.
00:13:44I had thought that, at the very least, he would understand gratitude.
00:13:48But now, for the daughter of my enemy, he stood against me.
00:13:53You don't have to be.
00:13:55I said.
00:13:56Kairos froze.
00:13:58Elena's expression changed.
00:14:00Ryan frowned.
00:14:01Selina, what are you talking about?
00:14:04I ignored him.
00:14:06Kairos looked genuinely enraged.
00:14:09He snatched up the blood oath scroll and bit his fingerip.
00:14:13Fine.
00:14:14Don't be afraid.
00:14:16She's just trying to scare me.
00:14:18I'm her only heir.
00:14:19He looked at me.
00:14:20His eyes filled with confidence someone who had always been indulged.
00:14:24Mother.
00:14:25You'll regret this sooner or later.
00:14:28You think I don't dare.
00:14:31Ivy hurriedly grabbed his arm.
00:14:33Kairos, don't.
00:14:35He clasped her hand instead, his voice gentle.
00:14:38I said nothing.
00:14:39He pressed his blood onto the scroll.
00:14:42The next second, every light in the hall went out at once.
00:14:46Dark crimson rudels erupted from the scroll and wrapped around Caiestus-like chains.
00:14:52What is this?
00:14:55I rose to my feet.
00:15:00The blood oath you signed with your own hand.
00:15:05It's taking effect.
00:15:11The first chain pierced his chest.
00:15:17He let out a scream and collapsed to the floor.
00:15:21Ivy stumbled back in terror.
00:15:24Kairos!
00:15:25The silver armor on his body suddenly cracked apart, dissolving into countless streams of light that flew back to the
00:15:30weapon racked behind him.
00:15:32It was the battle armor I had forged for him from abyssal black iron in a noontir crystal core.
00:15:37The second chain descended.
00:15:39The sacred dominion air's insignia at his waist shattered into dust.
00:15:43The third chain fell.
00:15:45The black and gold mark on his wrist, the symbol of his inheritance rights within the consortium, peeled away from
00:15:50the skin inch by inch.
00:15:52Kairos trembled violently in agony.
00:15:55Stop! Mother, stop!
00:15:57I didn't move.
00:15:59You are no longer my son.
00:16:00I have no obligation to step it forward.
00:16:03I was just angry.
00:16:05I never really meant to sever ties with you.
00:16:07I looked at him.
00:16:08I taught you this when you were young.
00:16:10A blood oath isn't something you say in anger.
00:16:12Power isn't a toy.
00:16:14And choices aren't a performance.
00:16:16A dragon's roar burst from within Kairos' body.
00:16:19It wasn't something he had been born on.
00:16:21It came from the first dragon blood crystal heart I had found in the Forbidden Rift.
00:16:26I had nearly died in the jaws of an abysmine beast to take it.
00:16:30I had refined it into medicine and fed it to Kairos when he had been on the verge of death.
00:16:36Only then had he gained a physique far beyond that of ordinary werewolves.
00:16:40Only then had he gained the dragon blood talent everyone envied.
00:16:44Now it was time to return it.
00:16:45I raised my hand and clove my fingers slightly.
00:16:48A blinding black and gold light suddenly flared from Kairos' chest.
00:16:52A strand of dragon blood was forcibly ripped from his body.
00:16:56He collapsed to the floor in agony.
00:16:58His fingernails scraping into the cracks between the stones.
00:17:04No!
00:17:05Mother, I was wrong!
00:17:07Ivy turned deathly pale and hid behind Ryan.
00:17:10Kairos saw it.
00:17:11He reached out a hand.
00:17:13Ivy, please!
00:17:14Ask her to stop!
00:17:16Ivy's lips trembled.
00:17:17I...
00:17:18A final trace of hope remained in Kairos' eyes.
00:17:20Didn't you say you'd love me no matter what I became?
00:17:22Ivy looked at the dragon markings fading from his body, then at the silver eyes that were rapidly losing their
00:17:27shine.
00:17:28The love in her eyes faded bit-bit.
00:17:29In its place came disgust.
00:17:32Kairos, don't touch me!
00:17:33Kairos froze.
00:17:34What did you say?
00:17:35Ivy took a step forward.
00:17:37I thought you were the heir to the Sacred Dominion.
00:17:39Now you're nothing.
00:17:39Why would I offend the Empress of the Sacred Dominion for your sake?
00:17:42It was like someone had slapped Kairos across the face.
00:17:45He had just betrayed me for her.
00:17:47And now, standing over his wounds, she was the first to draw a line between them.
00:17:51The final chain of the blood oath descended.
00:17:53His dragon blood was completely stripped away.
00:17:56His werewolf powers dropped to their lowest level, and his silver eyes turned dull.
00:18:00I withdrew the glow of the dragon blood piston and spoke coldly.
00:18:04From this night forward, Kairos is no longer the heir to the Sacred Dominion.
00:18:09His name is to be erased from the Book of Succession.
00:18:11Kairos jerked his head up.
00:18:13Then who inherits it?
00:18:15At the far end of the hall, the doors opened once more.
00:18:18A figure dressed in black walked in.
00:18:20The man wore a simple dark robe, and was still holding a kitchen glove he hadn't had time to take
00:18:24off.
00:18:25He lazily lifted his gaze and looked over the gathered nobles.
00:18:28The next instant, the overwhelming pressure of an abysmal dragon...
00:18:32Kairos jerked his head up.
00:18:33...crashed down upon the hall.
00:18:36Every noble of the wolf, leopard, and fox plans turned deathly pale.
00:18:40Ryan's knees buckled, and he nearly collapsed.
00:18:43Elena cried out.
00:18:44What kind of power is this?
00:18:45The man removed his glove and walked to my side.
00:18:48He lowered his gaze to me, his voice quiet.
00:18:50Dinner's getting cold.
00:18:51Not a single noble in the hall dared to breathe too loudly.
00:18:54I glanced at him.
00:18:56Valyan, this isn't the time to talk about dinner.
00:18:58He smiled.
00:18:59I know.
00:18:59Then he turned towards Ryan, and black-slip pupils slowly emerged in his eyes.
00:19:04I just didn't expect that while I was in the kitchen making soup, someone would dare cause trouble in front
00:19:08of my wife's throne.
00:19:09Ryan's expression completely changed.
00:19:11A black dragon.
00:19:13Kairon blustered out.
00:19:14The progenitor black dragon of the abysmal empire.
00:19:16Valyrian calmly corrected him.
00:19:18Her husband.
00:19:19The moment those words fell, a young woman stepped out from behind him.
00:19:22She had black hair and golden eyes, with the dark markings at the corners of her eyes that belonged only
00:19:26to pure-blood dragons.
00:19:27She wore silver and black battle gear, and at her waist hung the seal of the highest authority within the
00:19:31Sacred Dominion.
00:19:31I held out a hand to her.
00:19:33Arya, come here.
00:19:34The young woman walked to my side and dropped to one knee.
00:19:39Mother.
00:19:41Then she turned to face everyone.
00:19:43Starting today, I assume the position of first heir to the Sacred Dominion consort.
00:19:47Kairos stared at her in shock.
00:19:49Mother.
00:19:49You have another daughter?
00:19:51I lowered my gaze to him.
00:19:52Not another daughter.
00:19:53I've always had one.
00:19:54You just never cared where I went.
00:19:56I gave you all my favor, but I never said you were in the other place.
00:20:01Kairos' lips turned pale.
00:20:03For the first time, he understood that what he had lost wasn't a reckless argument.
00:20:07He had lost his entire future.
00:20:14Elena was the first to recover.
00:20:16She forced a smile onto her face.
00:20:18Sister, so you've already married?
00:20:20Something this important, why did you never tell us?
00:20:22I looked at her indifferently.
00:20:24So you could steal him too?
00:20:25Elena's expression darkened.
00:20:26Ryan's gaze shifted to Valerian, then back to me.
00:20:29At last, he understood that I was no longer the young girl who used to chase after him, desperate to
00:20:33explain herself.
00:20:34Selene, let's end this here tonight.
00:20:35Kairos has already paid the price.
00:20:38Ivy is innocent.
00:20:39Innocent?
00:20:40Arya suddenly laughed.
00:20:41She lifted a hand, and an attendant stepped forward with a memory crystal.
00:20:46The crystal lit up.
00:20:49In the image, Ivy stood outside a sacred dominion garden, speaking with a maid.
00:20:54Kios is so easy to manipulate.
00:20:56All I have to do is cry a little, and he'll go against his mother for me.
00:21:00The maid asked,
00:21:01Mist, do you really like him?
00:21:03Ivy let out a scornful laugh.
00:21:05The hall fell into dead silence.
00:21:07It was as if the last breath had been ripped from Kios' body.
00:21:11He turned to Ivy.
00:21:13This is fake, isn't it?
00:21:15Ivy panicked.
00:21:16No!
00:21:16I was just talking!
00:21:18I didn't mean it!
00:21:19Arya switched to another memory crystal.
00:21:21This time, the image showed Ivy and Elena in a private room.
00:21:25Elena was fixing her daughter's hair.
00:21:26Her voice was gentle, but her words were venomous.
00:21:29Remember, Kairos isn't the important part.
00:21:31The important part is making Selene lose control.
00:21:33She lost to me once before, which means betrayal from family is her greatest weakness.
00:21:38As long as she loses her composure at the banquet, the elders of the sacred dominion will start questioning whether
00:21:44she's fit to remain in power.
00:21:45Ivy smiled.
00:21:46Mother, what if I actually marry Kairos?
00:21:50Even better.
00:21:51Elena stroked her cheek.
00:21:53I stole her place as Luna.
00:21:55You can steal her sacred dominion.
00:21:58That's what I call a perfect victory.
00:22:00The image went dark.
00:22:03Elena's face turned deathly pale.
00:22:05Ryan whipped around to look at her.
00:22:06Elena?
00:22:07Elena frantically shook her head.
00:22:09No, that's not real.
00:22:10It's fabricated.
00:22:11Valenian raised a hand casually.
00:22:12A wisp of black flame landed on the memory didge of the crystal.
00:22:15Instead, silver runes bearing the moon goddess secured across its surface.
00:22:19It couldn't be forged.
00:22:20It couldn't be altered.
00:22:21Elena was finally speechless.
00:22:23Fifteen years later, and you're still a thief.
00:22:26You stole a wedding gown.
00:22:27You stole a man.
00:22:29You stole a reputation.
00:22:31And now you wanted your daughter to steal my sacred dominion.
00:22:34Tears immediately strimmed down Elena's face.
00:22:38Ryan, I was just scared.
00:22:40Selina hates me.
00:22:42She'll destroy Ivy.
00:22:44I couldn't let our daughter get hurt.
00:22:45Ryan didn't pull her into his arms the way he always had before.
00:22:49Fifteen years ago.
00:22:51Was that your doing too?
00:22:53He simply stared at her.
00:22:55His voice low.
00:22:56Elena's body stiffened.
00:22:57How could you even ask me that?
00:22:59That potion that night.
00:23:01Was it you and Hera?
00:23:02Something changed in Ryan's eyes.
00:23:05No!
00:23:06Elena screamed.
00:23:07She was the one with no self-control!
00:23:09When I woke up, I smelled the Temple of Light's Purification's incense on my clothes.
00:23:14That incense only came from High Priestess Hera's alchemy chamber.
00:23:18Elena whipped around to look at him.
00:23:19Karen's expression was darker than anyone had ever seen.
00:23:22For all these years, I believe Selina drugged me to sabotage your engagement.
00:23:27But if Hera was involved...
00:23:29Elena took a step back.
00:23:30Karen stared at her.
00:23:31You cried back then and told me you didn't blame me.
00:23:35You said you knew I was a victim too and you begged me not to investigate.
00:23:41Elena, did you know the truth all along?
00:23:46The panic flickered across Elena's eyes.
00:23:48I sat back onto my throne to the long-overdue interrogation with cold indifference.
00:23:52At last, they were questioning.
00:23:54At last, they were suffering.
00:23:56But this wasn't justice finally arriving for me.
00:23:58This was simply in fighting before the collapse of their power.
00:24:03Selina.
00:24:03If it really was all a misunderstanding back then...
00:24:08It wasn't a misunderstanding.
00:24:13You were a fool.
00:24:16Ryan's face turned pale.
00:24:18I continued.
00:24:19You were the Alpha King.
00:24:21You held the highest authority of judgment.
00:24:24You didn't investigate the potion.
00:24:27You didn't question any witnesses.
00:24:29You didn't check the altar records.
00:24:32You saw Karen and me in the same bed.
00:24:34And you declared me guilty.
00:24:39Ryan, you weren't deceived.
00:24:42You simply chose the answer that was easiest to believe.
00:24:46Because believing I had betrayed him was easier than admitting he couldn't protect his own bride.
00:24:51Because marrying golden-eyed Elena was more respectable than marrying a silver-eyed woman rejected by her entire pack.
00:24:57Because his so-called love had never been strong enough to outsweigh power.
00:25:01Ryan's fingers trembled.
00:25:03He wanted to say something.
00:25:05But not a single word came out.
00:25:07See them out.
00:25:08I turned to the commander of the royal guard.
00:25:11The royal guards moved in immediately.
00:25:13You can't do this to us!
00:25:14I'm the Luna!
00:25:16Elena screamed.
00:25:17There is no Luna here.
00:25:19Only outsiders who entered the sacred Domation without invitation.
00:25:23He knew at Valyrian's dragon pressure was weighing on him.
00:25:26If he made a move, the Silvermoon Wolfpack would lose its Alpha King tonight.
00:25:31As Iris, save me!
00:25:33She was dragged away by the guards.
00:25:34She suddenly shouted at Caius.
00:25:36Caius lay on the ground, unable even to lift his hand.
00:25:40Useless!
00:25:41The disgust in Ivy's eyes deepened.
00:25:43After she spit the word, she was dragged out of the hall.
00:25:48Tears finally fell from Kairus's eyes.
00:25:51Mother!
00:25:52I didn't look at him.
00:25:53Take him out as well.
00:25:55The guard hesitated.
00:25:57Empress, where should we take him?
00:25:59To the outer city of the sacred Dominion.
00:26:01Give him ordinary clothes and a bag of silver coins.
00:26:06From this moment on, he will live however he chooses.
00:26:09On his own.
00:26:11Mother!
00:26:12Kairus suddenly looked up.
00:26:14I stood and walked away.
00:26:16Behind me came his breaking scream.
00:26:20But I didn't turn back.
00:26:23Fifteen years ago, I had called out for my mother countless times in the Forbidden Rift.
00:26:28Hera had never once turned back.
00:26:30Now, I finally understood something.
00:26:32Some people didn't fail to hear you.
00:26:34They simply believed you weren't worth being saved.
00:26:38Mother, the Silvermoon Wolfpack has arrived.
00:26:41The next morning, Arya walked into the study.
00:26:43I flipped a page of the Mineral Vein report.
00:26:48Who?
00:26:49She paused slightly.
00:26:50Ryan.
00:26:51He brought ten carriages of Moontreed Crystal Ore.
00:26:54Valerian stood by the window, holding a cup of coffee and raised an eyebrow slightly.
00:26:58How wealthy.
00:26:58I said.
00:27:00How shabby.
00:27:02Arya smiled.
00:27:03Do you want to see him?
00:27:06Yes.
00:27:14Selene.
00:27:15Your Majesty.
00:27:16What brings you here so early in the morning with a shipment of ore?
00:27:19What are you trying to buy?
00:27:21A chance.
00:27:22For Ivy.
00:27:23And for Elena.
00:27:25I will investigate what happened last night.
00:27:27If they truly did wrong, I will punish them.
00:27:29But Ivy's still young.
00:27:30She shouldn't have her entire future cut off because of the grudges of the previous generation.
00:27:34Was she young when she cut Kairis' future off?
00:27:36Was Elena young when she put on my wedding gown 15 years ago?
00:27:39Was Hira merciful when she exiled me to the Probidden Rift?
00:27:42I know you hate me, but back then I...
00:27:44Back then what?
00:27:44You want to say you were deceived?
00:27:46That you were also a victim?
00:27:47Ryan, don't cast yourself as the victim.
00:27:48You were the judge back then.
00:27:49One word from you and my crest was stripped away.
00:27:51You turned around and Elena became the Luna.
00:27:53You enjoyed 15 years of a position stolen from me and now you're telling me you were also cool?
00:27:58Then what do you want?
00:28:00What I want is something you can't give.
00:28:03This is only the first batch.
00:28:05If you're willing to spare Ivy, I can give up three of the Silvermoon Wolfpack's northern mining vials.
00:28:11What are you laughing at?
00:28:12Are these the three you mean, Your Majesty?
00:28:14Seven years ago, a Silvermoon Wolfpack northern prines were depleted.
00:28:17It was the sacred dominion that suicide responders allow you to maintain production.
00:28:21Three years ago, the jite writes to those northerns Manchester.
00:28:23Now, those three Quang owners are the sacred dominion consortes.
00:28:27You're using our property to keep for mercy for my mother?
00:28:31Send them back.
00:28:32The sacred dominion doesn't need these.
00:28:34Selena, do you really have to push things this far?
00:28:37Ryan, when you pushed me into the Forbibbon Rift 15 years ago, you didn't ask how far was Tuwa.
00:28:42Now that you're the one in pain, you want to talk about limits?
00:28:47I raised my hand.
00:28:49All ten carts of Moontreeb Crystal Ore lifted into the air at once.
00:28:53What are you doing?
00:28:54I closed my fingers.
00:28:55All the crystal ore exploded into powder mid-air.
00:28:58A storm of blue-silver dust fell like snow over Ryan's shoulders.
00:29:02Your so-called attainment is worthless to me.
00:29:06Your Majesty, bad news!
00:29:07The sacred dominion has terminated all military supply agreements with the Silvermoon Wolfpack.
00:29:12The northern rune formations have already begun to shut down.
00:29:14The Council of Elders demands your immediate return.
00:29:17Ryan snapped his head toward me.
00:29:19You did this?
00:29:19I didn't deny it.
00:29:21Last night, your daughter and your wife attempted to seize control of the Sacred Dimension.
00:29:27Today, the Sacred Dimension is reassessing the Silvermoon Wolfpack's credit standing.
00:29:32Aria added,
00:29:33The result was, not qualified.
00:29:35From this moment on, the Silvermoon Wolfpack must pay triple the security deposit in advance to purchase any Moontreed Crystal
00:29:43Ore.
00:29:44You're trying to bankrupt the Silvermoon Wolfpack!
00:29:47No.
00:29:47You were the one who handed the Silvermoon Wolfpack over to Elena.
00:29:50I'm just making you pay the bill.
00:29:52Ryan's shoulders finally slumped.
00:29:54He looked at me, and for the first time, real regret appeared in his eyes.
00:29:59Selina, if I had believed you back then...
00:30:01Don't.
00:30:02I don't want to hear your imagined alternate ending.
00:30:04My ending as it stands is just fine.
00:30:07Valerian walked to my side.
00:30:09He simply stood there, and Ryan instinctively stepped back.
00:30:12The Pragerner Black Dragon looked at the Alpha King, his tone calm.
00:30:16Take your dust and leave.
00:30:21If you ever look at my wife like that again,
00:30:25I will make the Silvermoon Wolfpack change its king.
00:30:34Hera arrived faster than I expected.
00:30:37She did not wear her High Priestess ceremonial robes.
00:30:40Instead, she wore a grey-white cloak.
00:30:41Once called the most merciful saintess of the entire continent,
00:30:45she now stood outside the gates of the Sacred Dominion,
00:30:47blocked by the Royal Guards, her face twisted with rage.
00:30:50I let her in.
00:30:51When Hera walked into the main hall, her back was still straight.
00:30:55She had always been used to being worshipped by believers.
00:30:58And even now, when she had come to beg me,
00:31:01she refused to abandon that ridiculous sense of dignity.
00:31:03The first thing she said when she saw me was not an apology.
00:31:07It was...
00:31:08Selina, have you had enough of this nonsense?
00:31:10I almost laughed out loud.
00:31:12Fifteen years apart,
00:31:14and you still speak the same way.
00:31:17Hera frowned.
00:31:18I am your mother.
00:31:19Your sister has been crying all night because of you,
00:31:22and Ivy is afraid to even leave her room.
00:31:24Are you really going to force your own family to their deaths before you're satisfied?
00:31:29Family.
00:31:31High Priestess Hera.
00:31:34Fifteen years ago,
00:31:35when you stripped me of my wolf crest,
00:31:39you said I had defiled the bloodline.
00:31:54When you exiled me to the Forbidden Rift,
00:31:57you said I was never to return.
00:31:59And now you're telling me we're family?
00:32:01Hera's expression stiffened.
00:32:03But soon her eyes reddened.
00:32:05I had no choice back then.
00:32:06Elena was weak.
00:32:08She couldn't handle any shock.
00:32:09She had admired Ryan since she was a child.
00:32:13If she had lost everything that day,
00:32:15she wouldn't have survived.
00:32:16So you just let me go die?
00:32:18I asked.
00:32:19You didn't die, did you?
00:32:20Hera's voice trembled.
00:32:22Yet she still tried to argue.
00:32:23The moment those words fell,
00:32:25even Arya's gaze turned cold.
00:32:29Valerian stood by the window.
00:32:30The teacup in his hand slowly cracked with a thin fracture.
00:32:34But I remained calm.
00:32:35That's right.
00:32:36I didn't die.
00:32:37So I came back for all of you.
00:32:39Only then did Aunt Hera realize
00:32:41I was no longer the daughter who once cried
00:32:43and begged her for even a glance.
00:32:44Her tone softened.
00:32:45Selina, mother knows you were wronged.
00:32:47But Elena has been married to Ryan for 15 years.
00:32:51Her life can't be ruined.
00:32:52And Ivy is still young.
00:32:54She can't be ruined either.
00:32:55You have everything now.
00:32:57Why can't you be a little more generous?
00:32:59Because I'm not a statue in the Temple of Light.
00:33:01I won't stand there smiling at the ones
00:33:03who carve out my flesh.
00:33:04I looked at her.
00:33:05Here as tears fell.
00:33:06But I'm your mother.
00:33:08I gave birth to you.
00:33:09My blood runs in your veins.
00:33:12I slowly stood and walked up to her.
00:33:14How perfect.
00:33:16I've always wanted to return it.
00:33:17Hera stumbled back in fear.
00:33:19What are you doing?
00:33:20I grabbed her wrist.
00:33:22Today, I'll grant your wish.
00:33:23The Silvermoon Wolfpack bloodline imprint within her body was forcibly drawn out.
00:33:27It blazed with golden light.
00:33:29The symbol of her noble Exitonese as High Priestess.
00:33:32I stared at that golden glow and said coldly,
00:33:34I hereby declare,
00:33:35The mother-daughter blood chart between Selun and Hera is severed today.
00:33:39Hera screamed,
00:33:40But it was already too late.
00:33:42The moment the blood peat shattered,
00:33:45The insignia dimmed into darkness.
00:33:47Her face went deathly pale,
00:33:49As she staggered and grabbed the table for support.
00:33:51Back then,
00:33:52She had used her identity as my mother to judge me.
00:33:55Now,
00:33:55I stripped away her right to use that same identity to demand anything from me.
00:33:59How dare you!
00:34:01You taught me this.
00:34:02Bloodlines can be stripped.
00:34:04Family ties can be judged and severed.
00:34:06I just learned it better than you did.
00:34:08Hera's lips trembled.
00:34:11Selina!
00:34:12You will regret this!
00:34:14I said,
00:34:15No.
00:34:17Regret is something I'll leave to you.
00:34:21When the Royal Guards escorted Hera away,
00:34:23She finally lost control.
00:34:25She struggled and screamed.
00:34:27I never should have kept you alive!
00:34:29You were a curse from the moment you were born!
00:34:32How could a sylva-eyed wrisset ever be worthy of golden eyes?
00:34:36I looked at her.
00:34:37I've been waiting fifteen years to hear that line.
00:34:44Hera froze.
00:34:46I raised my hand,
00:34:48And it inattendant activated another memory crystal.
00:34:54Everything she had just said was recorded.
00:34:57Aria spoke calmly.
00:34:59The High Priestess of Temple of Light publicly declared that the silver-eyed lineage is a curse.
00:35:03This recording will be submitted to the Council of Twelve Clans.
00:35:07The Temple will face imbeetment tomorrow.
00:35:10The color drained completely of Hera's face.
00:35:13Only then did she finally understand.
00:35:16I hadn't been provoked.
00:35:19I had been waiting for her to expose her true self.
00:35:22That night,
00:35:23A crisis of faith erupted within the Temple of Light.
00:35:27All silver-eyed followers who once worshipped Hera withdrew from the Temple.
00:35:32The Council of Twelve Clans demanded that she be suspended and put on trial.
00:35:37The image of mercy she had carefully built over half her life cracked.
00:35:41And from those cracks,
00:35:42Everything she had hidden for fifteen years crawled out.
00:35:45Her bias,
00:35:46And her cruelty.
00:35:48On the third day,
00:35:49News came from the Outer City.
00:35:51Kyos had stood outside the gates of the Sacred Dominion for an entire night.
00:35:57Not kneeling.
00:36:00The Sacred Dominion did not indulge in such performances of penance.
00:36:05He simply stood in the snow,
00:36:07Clutching the broken fragments of his now-invalid Heirs Signia.
00:36:11When Aria brought me the news,
00:36:13I was reviewing the Silvermoon Wolfpack's debt ledger.
00:36:17She looked at me.
00:36:21Mother,
00:36:23Do you want to see him?
00:36:24I didn't look up.
00:36:27No.
00:36:28Aria fell silent for a moment.
00:36:33He looks like he's about to break.
00:36:35I signed the last document.
00:36:39Then send a healer.
00:36:44Not seeing him doesn't mean I want him dead.
00:36:47Aria nodded.
00:36:48She turned to leave,
00:36:50But I called her back.
00:36:52Aria,
00:36:54Do you think I'm too cruel?
00:37:03She thought for a moment.
00:37:08No.
00:37:11I just think you've finally stopped turning the knife on yourself.
00:37:15That answer made me pause for a moment.
00:37:18Aria walked over and knelt in front of me.
00:37:24She said,
00:37:25Brother did not know you cared about him.
00:37:27He just believed that no matter how much he hurt you,
00:37:30You would always stay.
00:37:33Mother,
00:37:35Making him pay the price isn't cruelty.
00:37:37It's you finally stopping him from becoming worse.
00:37:40I stroked her hair.
00:37:45You're quite good at comforting people.
00:37:51She smiled.
00:37:54Father taught me.
00:38:02Valerian just walked in at that moment.
00:38:07I only taught her to tell the truth.
00:38:14In the afternoon,
00:38:15Cairo still broke in.
00:38:17He never made it into the main hall
00:38:18And was stopped by the royal guards in the courtyard.
00:38:20I stood on the second floor corridor
00:38:22And looked down at him.
00:38:25In just a few days,
00:38:26He looked like a different person.
00:38:28After losing the dragon blood,
00:38:30His face had turned pale.
00:38:32His werewolf power was unstable.
00:38:34And the proud silver armor he once wore was gone.
00:38:37Replaced by a simple outer tout cloak.
00:38:41Mother.
00:38:42His voice was hordy.
00:38:44I know I was wrong.
00:38:46I said nothing.
00:38:48He hurried on.
00:38:49I've cut ties with Ivy.
00:38:51I won't see her again.
00:38:53Please, let me come back.
00:38:55I looked at him.
00:38:58Come back to what?
00:39:02To be my son?
00:39:03Or to be the heir of the sacred dominion?
00:39:07He froze.
00:39:08He answered too slowly.
00:39:10Slow enough that I already knew the answer.
00:39:12I said,
00:39:13See?
00:39:15Even you can't tell anymore.
00:39:17Tyrus' eyes turned red.
00:39:19No, it's not like that.
00:39:20I'm just used to this place.
00:39:21I grew up in the sacred dominion.
00:39:23This is my home.
00:39:24I nodded.
00:39:26So I gave you 15 years.
00:39:28You had the best teachers.
00:39:30The finest crystals.
00:39:32The best weapons.
00:39:33You never had to bow to anyone.
00:39:36You even had the courage to spill blood wine on me at my own banquet.
00:39:41Kyos' face went deathly pale.
00:39:43Kyos' face went deathly pale.
00:39:44I was just impulsive back then.
00:39:47Impulse is not a pardon.
00:39:48I looked at him.
00:39:49Kyos, what you're truly grieving isn't the loss of me as your mother.
00:39:53It's the realization that you're no longer special.
00:39:56He swayed as if I had struck something inside him.
00:40:00I continued.
00:40:01If I didn't have Arya today.
00:40:03If the sacred demation had no other heir.
00:40:07Would you still be so certain that I would eventually take you back?
00:40:13Kyos couldn't answer.
00:40:15That silence was more honest than any cry.
00:40:19I turned to leave.
00:40:21Suddenly, Kyos shouted.
00:40:24So you did nothing wrong?
00:40:26I stopped.
00:40:27His eyes were red.
00:40:29As if he could no longer hold back everything he had been suppressing.
00:40:32You were always busy.
00:40:35You left for months every year.
00:40:37You gave me teachers.
00:40:39Weapons.
00:40:40Power.
00:40:41But you never told me the truth.
00:40:43I didn't know who Ivy was.
00:40:45I didn't know what you went through.
00:40:48I only knew Ivy crying and saying you hated her.
00:40:50And I thought you were just taking out your anger on her.
00:40:54I looked back at him.
00:40:55So you chose to believe a girl you had known for a few months over the mother who raised you
00:41:00for 15 years.
00:41:00Kyro's lips trembled.
00:41:02My voice remained very calm.
00:41:04You can blame me for not being gentle enough.
00:41:06You can blame me for not laying every wound bare for you to see.
00:41:10But you don't get to use ignorance as a weapon to stab me.
00:41:12And then ask me to understand that your hand hurts.
00:41:14He finally broke down.
00:41:16Mother, I was wrong.
00:41:17I really was wrong.
00:41:19I said.
00:41:20Then survive.
00:41:22As an ordinary man.
00:41:24And when the day comes that you seek forgiveness not to come back, but because you truly understand what you
00:41:30did wrong.
00:41:32Then come see me.
00:41:34Kyros stared at me in a daze.
00:41:35How long will that take?
00:41:38I did not answer.
00:41:39Because some roads could only be walked alone.
00:41:43That evening, Kyros left the main city of the sacred dominion.
00:41:47I had someone assign him an outer city apprentice identity.
00:41:50Starting with hauling ore.
00:41:53He had once believed he was born noble.
00:41:56Then I would let him feel, with his own hands, just how heavy the foundation of that nobility really was.
00:42:04The collapse of the silver moon wolf pack happened faster than I had expected.
00:42:08After the sacred dominion cut off supply, three defensive formations along the northern frontier failed.
00:42:13Ryan had no choice but to convene the council of elders.
00:42:15But on the day of the meeting, Ivy publicly accused Elena.
00:42:18She said,
00:42:34When the news reached the sacred dominion, Arya was having breakfast.
00:42:39She nearly spit out her coffee.
00:42:42Of course she's her mother's daughter.
00:42:45Valerian slowly cut his bread.
00:42:48Faster than her mother, too.
00:42:49I looked at the report.
00:42:51Not surprised.
00:42:53Ivy had never truly loved Caius.
00:42:55Then there was no doubt that she also never truly loved Elena.
00:42:59What she loved was status, power, and the feeling of being surrounded by attention.
00:43:04Now that the silver moon wolf pack could no longer protect her,
00:43:08she would immediately look for another way out.
00:43:10Of course Adelina refused to accept it.
00:43:12Mother and daughter tore into each other in front of the council of elders.
00:43:15Ivy, crying, produced more memory crystals.
00:43:18Inside them were recordings of Elena teaching her how to get close to Caius,
00:43:22how to provoke me, and how to use Hera's temple connections to spread rumors.
00:43:26The council of elders erupted in fury.
00:43:29Ryan immediately demanded that Alayshna hand over the wolf queen's seal.
00:43:34Alayshna lost control completely and lunged at Ivy.
00:43:38I did it for you!
00:43:41If not for you, why would I have ever crossed Selina?
00:43:45Ivy screamed back.
00:43:47You did it for yourself!
00:43:49You were jealous...
00:43:51of her.
00:43:56You stole her betrothal 15 years ago,
00:43:59and 15 years later you still wanted to take her sacred dominion!
00:44:04Don't turn me into your excuse.
00:44:11The mother-daughter fallout was spread across the entire continent by 12 clans and formants.
00:44:16The once-admired wolf queen and...
00:44:19Sanxes...
00:44:20became the most humiliating joke whispered over noble tea tables,
00:44:24but I knew it still wasn't enough.
00:44:26The real blade hadn't fallen yet.
00:44:28Three days later,
00:44:30Karen came to see me.
00:44:31He came alone,
00:44:33wearing only a black knight's uniform,
00:44:35and stood outside the gates of the sacred dominion for two hours.
00:44:39I let him in.
00:44:41When he saw me,
00:44:42he did not sit.
00:44:45He lowered his head and performed the highest apology ritual of the Shadow Panther clan.
00:44:50Selina,
00:44:51I owe you an apology.
00:44:53I looked at him.
00:44:54Only one?
00:44:55Karen's face turned pale.
00:44:57His voice was rough,
00:44:59strained.
00:44:59When I woke up back then,
00:45:01I thought you had set me up.
00:45:03I hated you for 15 years.
00:45:05I even burned every piece of evidence from that knight with my own hands,
00:45:08because I thought it was disgusting.
00:45:11He closed his eyes briefly.
00:45:13Only now do I realize.
00:45:15What I burned wasn't humiliation.
00:45:18It was the truth.
00:45:19I asked,
00:45:20So?
00:45:23Karen looked up.
00:45:24I found the potion records from that year.
00:45:27Hera took a double dose of the soul-binding draft from the Temple of Light.
00:45:31One was given to you,
00:45:32and the other to me.
00:45:34The signature on the approval record was Elena's.
00:45:37He handed me a black file.
00:45:39If you choose to judge them,
00:45:41I will testify.
00:45:43I took the file.
00:45:44You're not doing this for me.
00:45:47Karen did not deny it.
00:45:49I'm doing it for myself, too.
00:45:51I don't want to be their fool anymore.
00:45:55He let out a bitter laugh.
00:45:58Though I suppose I already was.
00:46:00I looked at him.
00:46:02The man who had once called me filthy 15 years ago had finally bowed his head,
00:46:07but I felt no satisfaction.
00:46:09Because his testimony was not meant to save the me back then,
00:46:12but to save himself at present.
00:46:15I said,
00:46:16I'll take the evidence.
00:46:18As for your apology,
00:46:19I don't accept it.
00:46:21Karen's face fluttered pale for a moment,
00:46:24then he nodded.
00:46:25I understand.
00:46:26Before turning to leave,
00:46:27he suddenly asked,
00:46:29If I had believed you when I woke up back then,
00:46:32would things have turned out differently?
00:46:35I flipped open the file without looking up.
00:46:37Yes.
00:46:39A faint light rose in Karen's eyes.
00:46:43I continued,
00:46:44You would have died sooner.
00:46:49He froze.
00:46:51Only then did I look at him.
00:46:54But at least I would have remembered you as someone who wasn't complicit.
00:46:57The light in his eyes dimmed little by little.
00:47:00He said quietly,
00:47:03So even being a better man,
00:47:05I still missed my chance.
00:47:09I didn't answer.
00:47:11Some people always believe that showing up late still count as showing up.
00:47:15But life was not a ball.
00:47:17If you missed it,
00:47:18you missed it.
00:47:19I decided to reopen the Moon Goddess Temple for judgment.
00:47:24When the news spread,
00:47:25the entire continent was thrown into turmoil.
00:47:27Fifteen years ago,
00:47:28it was there that I was declared impure and condemned.
00:47:31Fifteen years later,
00:47:32I would return to the same place
00:47:33and burn every accusation they had ever written.
00:47:35Word by word.
00:47:46Hera had been suspended and stood beneath the altar in a gray prison robe.
00:47:51Elena had been stripped of her Wolf Queen seal and stood pale beside Ryan.
00:47:56Ivy did not dare approach her.
00:47:59Mother and daughter stood only a few steps apart,
00:48:02yet it felt like an entire abyss lay between them.
00:48:05Kairos was there too.
00:48:06He stood among the Outer City Apprentice,
00:48:08wearing a rough linen cloak,
00:48:09his hands still marked with wounds from hauling ore.
00:48:12When he saw me,
00:48:12his gaze turned complicated,
00:48:14but he did not call me.
00:48:15This time,
00:48:16he only lowered his head.
00:48:18I walked up onto the altar.
00:48:19The wind lifted the hem of my black robe.
00:48:22Fifteen years ago,
00:48:23I stood here in a white wedding veil
00:48:25pushed down from this very place
00:48:26by the hand of my own mother.
00:48:28Fifteen years later,
00:48:30I returned in black.
00:48:33Not to marry anyone,
00:48:34but to judge them all.
00:48:38The acting high priest opened the case file.
00:48:41Karen was the first to testify.
00:48:42He publicly admitted that both he and I
00:48:44had been drugged with forbidden wishes
00:48:46from the Temple of Light,
00:48:47potion records,
00:48:48traces of purification scents,
00:48:50and the temple's drug requusal signatures
00:48:51were laid out one by one
00:48:52on the altar.
00:48:53Ivy screamed.
00:48:55He's lying!
00:48:57Karen looked at her coldly.
00:49:00I've already sealed my testimony
00:49:02with a Shadow Panther soul oath.
00:49:06Do you dare to do the same?
00:49:08Ivy said nothing.
00:49:10The second witness was the old maid
00:49:12who had once brewed potions for Hera.
00:49:14By the time the Sacred Dominion found her,
00:49:17she had been hiding in a border town
00:49:19for seventeen years.
00:49:20She stood beneath the altar,
00:49:22her voice trembling.
00:49:23It was High Priestess Hera
00:49:25who ordered me to add the potion
00:49:26into Lady Selina's pre-wedding blessing wine.
00:49:29She said that once Lady Selina lost her purity,
00:49:33Lady Elena would be able to marry
00:49:35the Wolf King instead.
00:49:36Hera roared.
00:49:38Shut up!
00:49:41I looked at her.
00:49:47Aria raised her hand and a third memory crystal tit up.
00:49:51The image came from the Temple of Light's potion trout
00:49:54fifteen years ago.
00:49:55A young Hera stood by the candlelight.
00:49:59Elena clutched her, crying.
00:50:03Mother!
00:50:04Ryan still wants to marry my sister?
00:50:07Hera gently wiped away her tears.
00:50:10Don't be afraid.
00:50:12After tomorrow,
00:50:13the only one he will marry is you.
00:50:18Elena asked,
00:50:20What about my sister?
00:50:23Hera was silent for a moment.
00:50:26Silver-eyed blood was never meant to stand in the way of golden eyes.
00:50:31In the projection,
00:50:33Elena slowly smiled.
00:50:35Then let her never come back.
00:50:38The crystal went dark.
00:50:40The entire moon goddess altar erupted into uproar.
00:50:44Ryan stood frozen,
00:50:45as if he had been nailed in place.
00:50:46Slowly,
00:50:47he turned to look at Elena.
00:50:52So it really was you.
00:50:54Elena completely broke down.
00:50:57So what if it was me?
00:50:59I love you!
00:51:00I've loved you since I was a child!
00:51:02Why should a silver-eyed woman like her be allowed to marry you?
00:51:06Why does everyone insist you were meant to be hers and hers alone?
00:51:09She pointed at me,
00:51:11her voice sharp and piercing.
00:51:12I was only taking back what was rightfully mine!
00:51:15Ryan's face gradually drained of all color.
00:51:18But I was never yours to begin with.
00:51:21Elena froze.
00:51:22That sentence was more brutal than every loss of judgment.
00:51:25The man she had stolen for fifteen years had finally,
00:51:28on the day the truth came out,
00:51:30told her he had never belonged to her at all.
00:51:32Hera suddenly rushed onto the altar.
00:51:35Enough!
00:51:36Her hair was disheveled,
00:51:37her eyes wild.
00:51:39I did it!
00:51:39All of it!
00:51:40Spare Elena!
00:51:41She was just a child then!
00:51:42I was the biased mother!
00:51:43I was the one who drugged her!
00:51:44I was the one who passed judgment!
00:51:46If you want hatred,
00:51:47then hate me!
00:51:48I looked at her.
00:51:50So you finally admitted it.
00:51:52Hera stiffened.
00:51:53The acting high priest raised his staff.
00:51:56The judgment light of the moon goddess
00:51:58descended upon the altar,
00:51:59bathing Hera and Elena in its glow.
00:52:02No lie could survive it any longer.
00:52:05Hera was stripped of her position as high priestess.
00:52:08Elena was stripped of her status as wolf queen.
00:52:11The charge of impurity that had been placed on me fifteen years ago was publicly annulled.
00:52:17The council of twelve clans announced,
00:52:19Selina of the silver eyes was found innocent of all charges.
00:52:22The entire crowd turned to look at me.
00:52:25Some looked ashamed.
00:52:26Some feared me.
00:52:27Some were already trying to flatter me.
00:52:30Ryan stepped forward.
00:52:31His eyes were bloodshot.
00:52:34Selina,
00:52:36I'm sorry.
00:52:38Those three words carried the weight of blood for fifteen years.
00:52:42I looked at him,
00:52:44but felt nothing ripple within me.
00:52:46Ryan,
00:52:47I heard your apology.
00:52:49A flicker of hope rose in his eyes.
00:52:52I continued,
00:52:53but I don't need it.
00:53:00The hope shattered across his face.
00:53:03I turned to face everyone present.
00:53:06Fifteen years ago,
00:53:08you all stood here and watched me be condemned.
00:53:10Not a single one of you asked for evidence.
00:53:13Not a single one of you asked for the truth.
00:53:16Today,
00:53:16I am not here to ask you to restore my innocence.
00:53:19I am here to inform you.
00:53:21I raised my hand.
00:53:22The black and gold banners of the Sacred Dominion rose around the altar.
00:53:25From this day forward,
00:53:26the Sacred Dominion will no longer accept any trade justified by bloodline hierarchy.
00:53:31Silver-eyed,
00:53:32mixed-blood and exiled clans will all be granted access to the Sacred Dominion.
00:53:36And any family involved in the exile case fifteen years ago
00:53:40will be banned from purchasing core moon crystal resources for three generations.
00:53:44That was the real reckoning.
00:53:46Not to make them cry,
00:53:48but to drain their power from the inside out.
00:53:51The nobles' expressions changed drastically,
00:53:54but none dared to object.
00:53:56Because Valyrian stood behind me.
00:53:58Because Aria held the mineral vein contracts in her hands.
00:54:02Because I was no longer the girl they once pushed off the altar.
00:54:05I was the Empress of the Sacred Dominion.
00:54:08The one who controlled the lifeblood of the entire continent.
00:54:12One month after the trial,
00:54:14Hera's condition became critical.
00:54:16The Temple of Light sent for me.
00:54:18They said,
00:54:18Hera wishes to see you one last time.
00:54:21So I went.
00:54:22Not because I had softened,
00:54:24but because there were words I wanted to deliver to her in person.
00:54:27Hera lay in the temple infirmary,
00:54:29connected to a life-sustaining formation.
00:54:31The once mighty High Priestess was now nothing but skin and bone.
00:54:35When she saw me,
00:54:36her eyes lit up at once.
00:54:38Selene.
00:54:39I stood by the bed without stepping closer.
00:54:41She weakly reached out her hand.
00:54:46You've finally come to see your mother.
00:54:48I said,
00:54:49Don't misunderstand.
00:54:51I came to confirm whether you had any last words.
00:54:53Tears instantly fell from her eyes.
00:54:56You still hate me?
00:54:58Yes.
00:54:59She choked back a sob.
00:55:00I know I was wrong.
00:55:02I shouldn't have favored Elena.
00:55:04I shouldn't have destroyed you for her.
00:55:05But Selene,
00:55:06Elena has nothing left now.
00:55:08She lost her Wolf Queen title,
00:55:10was driven out of the palace by Ryan.
00:55:12Ivy was also removed from the council.
00:55:14They've already been punished enough.
00:55:16I looked at her.
00:55:17Even at this moment,
00:55:18she was still pleading for Elena.
00:55:20She knew she owed me.
00:55:22Yet,
00:55:22even on her deathbed,
00:55:24the person she was still most worried about
00:55:26was the younger daughter
00:55:27she had once held in the palm of her thing.
00:55:28I tardily felt it was absurd.
00:55:31Hera,
00:55:32have you ever,
00:55:33even once,
00:55:34asked anyone to protect me?
00:55:36She froze.
00:55:37On the day I was exiled,
00:55:39did you ask Ryan to investigate the truth?
00:55:41When I was thrown into the forbidden rift,
00:55:43did you beg the moon god to spare my life?
00:55:45After I survived and came wait,
00:55:47did you ask Elena to apologize to me?
00:55:50Hera's lips trembled,
00:55:51but she could not answer.
00:55:52I gave a faint smile.
00:55:56No.
00:55:58So why do you think I would spare her?
00:56:01For you.
00:56:03Hera shook her head in tears.
00:56:05She is your sister.
00:56:07She wasn't.
00:56:08You drove me out of the family 15 years ago.
00:56:11Hera panicked and grabbed my sleeve.
00:56:13Selama,
00:56:14please.
00:56:14I'm your mother.
00:56:15I'm begging you.
00:56:16I'm dying.
00:56:17Just grant me my final wish.
00:56:19I looked down at her withered hand.
00:56:21Then I peeled her fingers off mine,
00:56:22one by one.
00:56:24Hera stared at me and Tara.
00:56:25I leaned down and whispered in her ear.
00:56:27I won't forgive you.
00:56:33Her pupils contracted sharply.
00:56:35I continued.
00:56:36And I won't spare Elena,
00:56:38nor will I clear the path for Ivy.
00:56:41They will live.
00:56:43But they will live in a world without privilege,
00:56:45without kneeling crowds,
00:56:47without anyone paying their debts for them.
00:56:49that's far more painful than death,
00:56:52isn't it?
00:56:55She fixed her gaze on me.
00:56:58And for the first time,
00:57:00fear finally surfaced in her eyes.
00:57:05I straightened.
00:57:09You once said silver-eyed wolves were never meant to stand in the way of gold-eyed ones.
00:57:15Now I'm telling you this.
00:57:18From this day forward,
00:57:20even gold-eyes won't be allowed to block anyone's path.
00:57:27Tears kept spilling down Hera's face.
00:57:29She murmured.
00:57:31If I had treated you a little better back then,
00:57:35would you have hated me this much?
00:57:38I looked at her.
00:57:40Yes.
00:57:41A faint light flickered in Hera's eyes.
00:57:46I added.
00:57:48But you didn't.
00:57:51That light went out.
00:57:54Hera opened her mouth as if she still wanted to say something,
00:57:57but in the end,
00:57:58nothing came out.
00:58:00She died without ever closing her eyes.
00:58:04I turned and left.
00:58:06Outside the door,
00:58:07Elena was sitting in the corridor.
00:58:10The moment she saw me,
00:58:12she lunged forward.
00:58:16Sister!
00:58:18Before she died,
00:58:19did Mother say she forgave me?
00:58:21I stopped.
00:58:23She asked me to spare you.
00:58:25Hope immediately surged in Elena's eyes.
00:58:28Then you?
00:58:31I refused.
00:58:36She froze completely.
00:58:39The next second,
00:58:40she screamed and tried to rush at me,
00:58:42but the saint guards pinned her down.
00:58:44How could you do this?
00:58:46She was our mother!
00:58:48Yours,
00:58:49not mine.
00:58:53Elena cried so hard,
00:58:54she looked completely disheveled.
00:58:57But this time,
00:58:58no one stepped forward to help her.
00:59:00Ryan stood at the far end of the corridor,
00:59:03watching everything with a complicated expression.
00:59:06He neither approached Elena nor came toward me.
00:59:11because he finally understood.
00:59:14The mistake he had made 15 years ago
00:59:17was something that could never be undone.
00:59:19Two months later,
00:59:21the Saint Sanctum and the Abysmal Empire
00:59:23announced a marriage alliance.
00:59:24The news shook the entire continent.
00:59:27Everyone had already thought the Saint Empress
00:59:29was powerful enough
00:59:30until they learned her husband
00:59:32was the ancient black dragon ancestor
00:59:34who had slumbered for a thousand years
00:59:36in the Abyssal Empire.
00:59:38The wedding was not held
00:59:39at the Moon Goddess altar.
00:59:41I no longer wanted that altar
00:59:43to witness my life.
00:59:44Valerian chose the Forbidden Rift
00:59:46as the wedding site.
00:59:47I asked him if he had done it on purpose.
00:59:49He said,
00:59:50Of course.
00:59:51They abandoned you there.
00:59:52I found you there.
00:59:53This place deserved a new name.
00:59:56On the wedding day,
00:59:57the sky above the rift
00:59:58was covered in black gold dragon flame.
01:00:01The banners of the Saint Sanctum
01:00:03and the abysmal dragon crift
01:00:05rose side by side.
01:00:08Arya stood beside me as my heir.
01:00:11While adjusting my wedding gown,
01:00:12she suddenly said in a low voice,
01:00:15Mother,
01:00:16you look beautiful today.
01:00:18I glanced at her.
01:00:20Only today?
01:00:21She immediately corrected herself.
01:00:23Every day.
01:00:24Valerian stood ahead,
01:00:26and when he heard it,
01:00:27he let out a low chuckle.
01:00:29She takes after you.
01:00:31He said,
01:00:32Strong survival instinct.
01:00:34I walked toward him.
01:00:35Fifteen years ago,
01:00:36I had once walked towards a man
01:00:38in a wedding dress.
01:00:40Back then,
01:00:40I thought a wedding meant
01:00:41handing myself over to someone else.
01:00:43Only now did I understand
01:00:45that real love was not surrender.
01:00:47It was standing side by side.
01:00:49Valerian reached out his hand to me.
01:00:51He did not speak any grand vows,
01:00:54only asked in a low question.
01:00:56Selene, this time,
01:00:57will you let me stand beside you?
01:00:59I placed my hand into his palm.
01:01:02Haven't you always been there?
01:01:04He smiled.
01:01:05The dragon wings of the black dragon ancestor
01:01:08unfurled behind him,
01:01:09shielding the sky above the forbidden rift
01:01:11from wind and snow.
01:01:12God is having for you too.
01:01:15The name is
