00:13but hunter wouldn't listen i could only struggle desperately toward the shore yet hunter dragged
00:18me back in the end and tortured me to death
00:26when i opened my eyes again i was back on the day of the pearl draw those who drew a
00:31red pearl
00:31would become the first female commander of the royal title guard those who drew a white pearl
00:37would be sent to the abyss trench to serve as low-ranking scouts in my previous life i drew
00:44red and married hunter sloan the son of the merman king what followed was 10 years of betrayal every
00:52night while i slept they tangled together in the guest chamber next to mine between my sister and
00:58me whose body do you prefer is that even a question come here baby later my sister was ambushed during
01:08a mission abyssal demons tore her scales apart hunter blamed me for choosing the red pearl claiming it
01:14led to her death he falsified a wartime report and sold me out the abyssal demons captured me and ripped
01:21my tail down then he used his family's power to frame my grandfather for treason
01:27my grandfather died in chains now staring at the two shells holding the pearls i already knew my answer
01:34lowering my head tail curled beneath me in the most respectful posture i said i choose the abyss
01:40let sienna be the commander my grandfather stared at me in shock giving up the command means giving up
01:46your marriage to hunter are you sure before i could answer the door was slammed open hunter slipped in
01:52without warning he pulled sienna straight into his arms sienna thank the gods you're alive hunter sloan's
01:59voice was hoarse he looked at her like she was a priceless relic he had nearly lost in front of
02:04my
02:04grandfather hunter dropped low tail coiled tightly beneath him his forehead touching the ground three times
02:12lord calloway the one i truly want to marry is sienna i know i'm already engaged to quinn but i
02:18don't love
02:18her please let me form a true bond with sienna that was when it hit me hunter had been reborn
02:25too
02:26even hearing it from his own mouth my chest still burned as if scorched by salt water i hid my
02:31shock
02:32and reached out to help him up he slapped my hand away his voice thick with disgust don't touch me
02:37i've only ever loved sienna don't get the wrong idea my grandfather cut in quinn is going to the
02:44abyss you two can set a date for the ceremony hunter froze for a moment then broke into a wide
02:50smile
02:50pulling sienna closer i can finally bond with you the tenderness in his eyes was so full it was almost
02:57overflowing i watched silently that warmth had once been mine fine it didn't matter i already had a better
03:03plan they'd see soon enough once the hall fell quiet i escorted my grandfather back to his room
03:09grandfather if i meet someone suitable on the front edges i'll marry there he was silent for a long
03:15time just stay safe he finally said that's all i ask i looked at his bent back and before i
03:22could
03:22stop it my eyes began to sting in my last life he'd kept me close after the wedding so he
03:27could look
03:28after me this time i was the one who was going to protect him i quickly completed my registration
03:35with the national guard on my way home i stopped by the coral market to buy my grandfather's favorite
03:41sweets and began planning what came next a war was about to erupt in the abyssal trench with heavy
03:48casualties i had to use my memories from my past life to change the outcome and the key to that
03:53was
03:54finding the fat shark working in the seaweed kitchen jess sheridan just as i was wondering how to locate
03:59him i ran into hunter and sienna at the open market when sienna fawned over the newest tide mirror
04:05he didn't complain once in my previous life i had begged him for weeks to come pick out a wedding
04:11dress
04:12with me every time he brushed me off saying he was busy serving the guard in the end i bought
04:18everything
04:18myself and carried it home alone yet here he was leisurely strolling through the market with sienna
04:24hunter nobles shouldn't show off but i love these veils so much what should i do hunter's expression
04:32was gentle without the slightest resistance sienna if you like them i'll buy them all i gave a bitter
04:39smile everything i had done for him before completely worthless i turned to leave but sienna spotted me
04:45she pulled hunter along a smug smile on her face quinn what are you doing here grandfather already
04:52picked the wedding date you're my sister you have to come i avoided looking at their clasped hands and
04:58kept my tone steady i still need to prepare for deployment i think if you don't come i'll burn
05:04your mother's memorial conquer my vision went dark sienna and i shared the same father but not the same
05:10mother after my mother died that conch was the only thing i had left of her sienna knew that that's
05:16why
05:16threatening it always worked i nodded just as i was about to leave she called out again her gaze flicked
05:23to the pearl pendant at my neck she smiled sweetly hunter doesn't quite have enough for the moon prism
05:28why not use your little pendant as collateral my face went cold my voice hoarse if you can't afford it
05:35don't buy it this pendant is old it's worthless hunter spoke up sienna
05:42we can use a shell harp instead same effect so hunter wasn't completely without feeling toward me
05:48he knew exactly what that pendant meant to me quinn are you upset because hunter and i are close
05:55but sienna's eyes welled with tears i just wanted a gift from you to bless our bond her voice trembling
06:01you can't even give me that she turned away shoulders trembling a heartbreaking sight hunter
06:06couldn't stand to see her upset his expression turned cold instantly ordered me give it to her i
06:13refused instinctively hunter lashed out with his tail striking my ribs i crashed into the coral he
06:19ripped the pendant from my neck and shoved it into sienna's hands a cold smile curled at her lips
06:26she opened it took out my mother's photograph and crushed it into powder right in front of me
06:32i lunged forward but it was too late my mother's image flickered in the current then scattered into
06:38nothing something inside me snapped i slapped sienna hard she clutched her cheek feigning shock then began
06:46spinning lies quinn why would you give me a memorial photo as a wedding gift i know you love hunter
06:52but you
06:53can't use something like that to sabotage us a crowd gathered as whispers pointing fingers she's
06:59after her own sister's fiance disgusting what kind of mermaid curses her sister's engagement day i heard
07:05none of it i collapsed to the ground scooping up the drifting dust with trembling hands hunter stood over
07:11me looking down don't think i'll pity you quinn you know what i'm capable of i didn't answer slowly i
07:17lifted myself into the water and addressed the crowd i quinn calavin swear here and now i have
07:23no feelings for hunter solon i'm going to the abyssal from this day forward we go our separate ways
07:30i went to a healer to have my wounds treated by the time i returned home sienna was already in
07:36the
07:36dining hall grandfather wasn't there he had gone to the sloan estate to handle the marriage arrangements
07:42sienna looked up at me as if nothing had happened she looked happy as though the scene she had staged
07:48at the market an hour ago didn't exist at all i walked straight back to my room the pearl cabinet
07:53stood open a sense of dread hit me instantly the conch was gone i lost control i rushed out grabbed
08:00sienna by the collar and slammed her to the ground my vision went black i punched her once twice again
08:06i
08:07screamed my hands clamped around her throat i wanted her dead where is my memory conant burned it blood
08:13traced a thin line from the corner of sienna's mouth threw it into the seaweed furnace but her eyes gleamed
08:18with triumph your mother was such a kind woman even when she was dying she still lit fires to keep
08:25me
08:25warm rage flooded me why i've already given you everything it felt like my blood was burning what more do
08:33you
08:33want sienna shoved me off and gasped for air what i want do you want to know what i went
08:39through in my
08:39last life you deserve to suffer what i did 100 times over so she had been reborn too i spat
08:46out blood and
08:47glared at her last time grandfather didn't cheat you died because of your own stupidity still talking tough
08:53huh sienna forced out a twisted smile before i could react she yanked me closer
09:00and struck me hard across the face before i could pull back a kick slammed into my spine i crashed
09:06onto the reef a heavy stool came down on my head blood ran down my face hunter's eyes were bloodshot
09:12as he loomed over me cursing i couldn't hear a word he pulled sienna into his arms his hands trembling
09:18as he checked her injuries then he slammed a shell bowl onto the table pressed a jagged edge against my
09:24throat the dizziness faded at last i could hear him quinn don't fool yourself into thinking i still
09:30love you touch sienna again and i wouldn't mind killing you again i lay on the floor watching
09:36them cling to each other nausea churned in my stomach i crawled toward the furnace the seaweed
09:41flames had already gone cold hunter dragged sienna over and stomped hard on my already broken
09:46did i say you could leave apologize to sienna now the pain was unbearable i lifted my head looking at
09:55hunter's twisted face i muttered the bandage on my head was soaked through my god he didn't hear me
10:02he just kept demanding that i apologize i gave up i collapsed darkness swallowed everything eventually
10:08hunter lost interest he left me in the ashes and swam away with sienna when i woke grandfather
10:14still hadn't returned i did everything i could to bandage myself then dragged my battered body into
10:20the current rushing toward the abyssal trench time was running out i had to find jess sheridan the current
10:26carried me to the trench outpost and then i blacked out again when i came around an ugly overweight shark
10:32man was sitting beside me my heart pounded as i called his name just sharon the shark flinched its dark
10:39eyes fixed on me warily who are you how do you know my name catching my breath i told him
10:45about the
10:46coming war describing it as visions from a dream in my last life i had learned from sienna that he
10:52was
10:52the son of the sea god an accident had drained him of his power and sealed him inside the body
10:58of a shark
10:58man to keep him safe the sea god had arranged for him to blend in among the frontline kitchen crew
11:04while a solution was sought nobody here knew his true identity behind his back they called him fat
11:10fin or just the pudgy one right now the most important thing was to earn his trust and get him
11:16to take me to the true god of the sea will you marry me the moment the words left my
11:21mouth jess narrowed his
11:22eyes the next second he turned to call for the guards panicking i grabbed him and fell off the bed
11:28my wound split open but i didn't care my name is queen calloway my mother was an ocean witch i
11:35know
11:35a way to restore your true form jess studied me with suspicion and put me through question after
11:40question until he was satisfied i wasn't an enemy agent i'll need to think about it a few days later
11:46sienna and hunter's wedding took place hunter sat in the room distracted constantly asking who had
11:52arrived after the guests had left he went to find grandfather trying to keep himself composed lord
11:57calloway where is quinn today is her sister's engagement ceremony why didn't she come grandfather
12:03looked around the empty hall and sighed you expect her to sit here and watch the man she loves being
12:10intimate with her own sister hunter's heart dropped he suddenly remembered that night the argument the
12:16way i had crawled toward the furnace before he could ask anything else a messenger fish rushed in waving a
12:23scroll wrapped in the current lord calloway official orders from the abyss command quinn is married
12:30hunter could hardly believe it he snatched the scroll who is married
12:39the little courier fish grinned innocent as ever why big sister quinn's there's a command seal on it
12:46and everything brother hunter what are the odds both your weddings on the very same day hunter felt
12:53his heart skip he turned the scroll over and over read that name again and again then collapsed onto the
13:00coral floor the girl who had once sworn she would never love anyone but him had turned around and bound
13:06herself to someone else he remembered that night me on the floor covered in blood dragging myself toward the
13:12seaweed furnace with a sickly look on my face and in a flash the image overlapped with one from his
13:18last life me on the ground my torn tail trailing behind me prostrating in front of him and begging
13:24she has someone she loves hunter sat there muttering to himself how can she marry someone else hunter cut his
13:32own finger and sent the blood out a forbidden tracking spell but the ocean didn't answer he'd forgotten
13:39that i was the daughter of an ocean witch the forbidden tracking spell was one i'd taught him
13:44in our last life and i had long since erased my own traces and then while hunter sat there in
13:50despair
13:50he saw sienna sienna was drunk her eyes glassy she pulled him up off the floor with a soft voice
13:56what's wrong what are you doing sitting down there hunter stared at her dazed then something
14:03cool flickered in size the next second his hand cracked across her face quinn's mother's memory
14:08conch where is it it can find quinn sienna sobered up instantly she held her cheek staring at hunter in
14:18disbelief what hunter i've never even seen that thing hunter knocked her hand away and slapped her again
14:24i'm asking you where the memory conok is where did you hide it sienna was speechless she covered her face
14:30tears poured down why would i ever touch anything of quinn's she said this place wasn't her home
14:36anymore she must have taken it with her hunter's vision blacked out he pressed a hand to his chest
14:42she she isn't coming back suddenly he staggered to his feet didn't even go back to the bridal chamber
14:49swam straight to the sloan estate grabbed a travel pack and tore off for the tideway station sienna chased
14:56after him in a daze and threw herself in his path hunter where are you going this is our wedding
15:02day
15:02hunter wouldn't even spare her at glance move i want to see with my own eyes who quinn married a
15:08flash
15:08of resentment crossed sienna's eyes she clamped onto his tail fin and refused to let go you're still
15:14thinking about her you regret marrying hunter shook her off impatiently i don't have time for this move
15:20when force didn't work sienna changed her face in a heartbeat and started packing his bag for him
15:26fine i'll go with you i was wanting to see quinn myself anyway at that hunter's face softened he let
15:33her come along but they barely reached the entrance to the tideway station when a squad in silver scale
15:39armor stopped them at the head of the squad was hunter's father general sloan himself the general's
15:45quiet authority made sienna shrink her tail back and even hunter didn't dare open his mouth
15:50go home i won't say it twice hunter didn't dare defy his father he and sienna had to slink back
15:56home
15:57frustrated soon after the front in the abyssal trench grew so unstable that they couldn't have
16:02gone even if they tried meanwhile jace and i were spending busy but fulfilling days down in the abyss
16:09in the beginning marrying jace really had been a partnership and nothing more it was the fastest way
16:15i could think of to earn the sea god's trust that war in my last life had killed half of
16:20our kind down
16:21here i had to save them marriage of convenience or not jace still gave me a grand ceremony after we
16:27wed i told the sea god every detail i remembered about the coming war he was skeptical at first but
16:33i
16:33correctly predicted several events in a row and eventually he chose to believe me in the end we won
16:39decisively after that battle i was made battalion commander of the northwest forces the sea god set
16:45up a coral cottage just for the two of us so jace and i could look after each other i
16:50took the risk
16:50of going down into a deep sea volcano to find a fairy herb that blooms only once every hundred years
16:56and i poured power into it using my witch's soul pearl day after day of treatment his shark seal broke
17:03and his sea god's power slowly returned i had never seen a more perfect male merman in my life
17:08that kind of sea witchcraft tears at the body especially hard and i took the backlash from
17:14treating jace i needed a full month of recovery to come back to myself through all of it jace stayed
17:20by
17:20my side day after day jace was careful and gentle the sea greens chowder he made tasted like nothing else
17:26i only learned later that he had been secretly feeding me a sacred elixir one meant only for the
17:33sea god under his care i grew stronger and my battlefield record kept getting better when we
17:38first married people at the front called us the beggar and the fat pig but no one laughed at us
17:44anymore
17:45now they all said we were meant for each other the nickname for jace had gone from fat shark to
17:50big bro
17:50i was still not entirely thrilled with that one but jace just laughed don't worry about them in my
17:56eyes you're a goddess quiet days like that went on for half a year until i happened to see hunter
18:01and
18:02sienna outside the outpost i just picked up medicine from the healer when i ran straight into the two of
18:07them prowling around outside the outpost our eyes locked hunter sprinted toward me at once he didn't
18:14spare a thought for the sienna right beside him he just pulled me into his arms quinn i knew you
18:20weren't
18:21married you still care about me sienna's face went dark in an instant hunter didn't notice a thing i
18:27stepped back quickly putting space between us sorry my husband is at home waiting i need to go
18:34hunter's body locked up he stared at me blank just then a few of my comrades swam past they spotted
18:40me
18:40and grinned throwing me casual salutes commander quinn who are these two big bro wasn't feeling well
18:46today so he wasn't in the kitchen i am dying for that sea greens chowder of his the moment sienna
18:53heard big bro she clapped a hand over her mouth like she'd seen a ghost sis your husband isn't the
18:59that fat shark from the seaweed kitchen is you i frowned watch how you speak he is not a fat
19:06shark
19:06sienna scoffed her eyes dripping with contempt quinn everyone knows there's a fat shark in the seaweed
19:12kitchen grinning like an idiot all day came out of nowhere some country nobody sure it stings that
19:18you didn't get to marry hunter but is it really worth degrading yourself like this my expression
19:23hardened the comrades who'd been passing by stopped walking they didn't look pleased and who exactly are
19:29you two how do you even know big bro these two are newlyweds they're happy together don't you think
19:34you're going a little too far watching everyone take my side sienna ground her teeth in fury hunter stepped
19:40forward his voice catching you really did marry someone else you're really not coming home i looked
19:46at his wounded little face and felt nothing at all hunter my parents are gone this is my home now
19:51you're the one who said you only ever loved sienna so what are you doing here last life in this
19:56life
19:57both he never knew what he actually wanted hunter clamped down on my arm and wouldn't let go just as
20:03we
20:03were locked in that standoff a comrade swam up supporting jace who was burning with fever when jace saw
20:09me hemmed in like that he tensed up at once and pushed his way over the jace of today had
20:14long
20:14since shed the bloated body the seal had given him he stood tall and lean sharp featured with a
20:20brilliantly shimmering tail i touched his still hot forehead my chest aching with worry you're sick
20:26and you're out wandering around sienna rushed up and stared at the tall broad-shouldered sharply
20:32chiseled jace so shocked she could barely speak who are you where's the fat shark jace fixed her with
20:39a wary stare and who are you you forced your way into the outpost you're crowding the battalion
20:44commander i am well within my rights to treat you as a spy sienna seemed to crack right there screaming
20:49in disbelief you're the battalion commander how are you the commander you should have been caught by
20:55the abyss demons torn apart broken how can you possibly be the commander everyone stared as sienna
21:02came apart her ranting growing more deranged their faces darkened hunter looked at jace standing beside
21:09me and turned green with jealousy quinn you my husband is sick you'll have to excuse us jenny could you
21:17deal with these two for me i'm taking jay home with that i took jace's hand and turned for home
21:22hunter tried to follow but the others closed in around them with practiced ease armed and ready
21:28mindful of his father hunter didn't dare push it back home i brewed up jace's medicine and fed it to
21:34him a careful spoonful at a time he blinked at me sneaking glances testing the words out before he spoke
21:40those two who came today are they relatives of yours my hand stilled i nodded yes my sister and her
21:46husband probably came up from back home jace hesitated but you said you didn't have any
21:51family i was quiet for a long moment those terrible scenes from my last life crowding back in i didn't
21:57know how to explain jace saw my mood drop just pulled me gently into his arms and told me it
22:02was
22:03all right i tilted my chin up and kissed the corner of his mouth thank god i have you right
22:08then a commotion
22:09broke out beyond the door i tucked him in and swam out to look the guards had let sienna and
22:14hunter
22:14into the courtyard both of them were looking at me with that smug tilt of the chin commander officer
22:21sienna says she'd like to see you it was only then that title registered sienna was in the royal tide
22:27guard now too hunter glanced toward the window then took up that won't be questioned tone again
22:32quinn you can't be eating well or sleeping hell in the abyss come home with me what good can a
22:38quarter
22:39man man from the seaweed kitchen possibly do for your career i'll talk to my father get you transferred
22:44back you'll live with us i looked at him in disbelief the whole thing was absurd i turned to walk
22:50away
22:51and sienna sidled up and gripped my wrist whispering against my ear mom's memory conch don't want it
22:57back anymore my gaze sharpened i turned my head and stared her down you said last time you'd burned it
23:04you were lying sienna straightened up and pitched her voice back to normal when you've made up your
23:09mind come to the black coral forest i'll be waiting whenever you're ready to come home sis she took
23:15hunter's arm to leave hunter cast a complicated look at me but in the end he followed sienna out
23:21i stood rooted there my thoughts running in a thousand directions i glanced back in at jace fast asleep
23:28dropped a soft kiss on his forehead and turned in the direction of the black coral forest the whole
23:33way there the water was empty hardly a soul in sight i gripped the trident jace had forged especially
23:39for me pushing forward by the moonlight filtering down through the surface every nerve tight i reached
23:45the mouth of the black coral forest still no one in sight just as i was about to turn back
23:51something
23:51heavy slammed into my tail fin my body twisted on instinct to dodge and i tumbled down into a wide
23:58coral
23:58pit i looked up and there was sienna that eerie smile on her face and the water blade spear she
24:04had leveled at me i made myself sound calm what do you think you're doing killing a fellow officer this
24:10close to command do you understand what they'll do to you sienna stared down at me the jealousy and
24:17disgust in her voice impossible to hide you should have been dead in the first place why is it that
24:22even
24:23with a second life everything still comes easy for you hunter is still thinking about you what is so
24:29special about you all i need is for you to die and everything is mine she swung the spear and
24:36the
24:36currents around her twisted hard fish scattered the water churned at the reefs and pulled itself into
24:42a blade that lanced toward me i twisted aside and stared at her in shock are you out of your
24:50mind doing
24:51this could pull the enemy right down on us i could see clearly now sienna's hatred for me had reached
24:57its peak the most important thing for me to do right now was get my mother's memory conch back i'll
25:03ask one more time where is the conca diana laughed coldly and crouched down so she could look at me
25:10from
25:10above you actually believed that the conch was burned that very day oh and by the way i should mention
25:20grandpa hasn't been doing too well while you've been away hearing about grandpa made me see red this
25:26life i've given you everything you wanted why would you go and hurt grandpa sienna's face turned dark in
25:33an instant her eyes burning not enough you know what i was thinking right as i died last time if
25:40i can't be
25:40happy none of you get to be happy either so i used my last breath to write a forged letter
25:46to hunter
25:47i told him you and grandpa had been pulling strings together just to get the sloan and family to hand
25:54you a rank i told him the reason hunter's grandfather died expectedly was that you switched out his
26:01medicine sienna you've lost your mind is there one word of truth in your mouth sienna laughed almost
26:08manically so what if there isn't so what if i did it i was jealous i was jealous of you
26:16why should
26:17every single person love you and worry about you in any case hunter has always believed every word out
26:25of my mouth i listened to her rave my heart aching for the grandpa of my last life and pulled
26:31in a deep
26:31breath you think grandpa didn't know it was you you think general sloan couldn't have tracked you
26:37down if he'd wanted to grandpa specifically sent you to the abyss as a scout so the sloanes wouldn't
26:45be able to reach you and this is how you repay him you have no idea how much my father
26:52and grandpa
26:52left behind just to keep you alive you know nothing you haven't come home a single time to ask sienna
27:00listened slowly going still i was panting do you have any idea where hunter dragged grandpa in my
27:07last life to torture him how dare you she wrapped her arms around her head and shook it desperately
27:14but it didn't last she slid right back into that sneering look her eyes full of murder i don't care
27:21i never imagined jace would turn out so good looking this time around once you're dead i'll divorce hunter
27:28and marry her her water pistol leveled at the center of my forehead i raised my trident too our eyes
27:35locked sienna we're sisters does it really have to come to this she laughed wild and loud sisters
