Short filmTranscript
00:00I have three brothers. One is a dragon-slaying paladin, the other is the High Major of the Citadel.
00:04The last one, he sits on the Obstian throne.
00:07To this day, they still thank the heavens for the day I was abandoned,
00:10for leaving them the only light in their dark worlds.
00:12But before that, I was born in a dirt-poor magic town.
00:15My father was obsessed with having a son to inherit his magic.
00:19The third daughter.
00:20When the witch announced I was the third daughter, there was no joy, only bitter disappointment.
00:25He refused to even look at me.
00:27He wrapped my newborn body in burrap and dragged me into the black forest to feed the wolves.
00:31But Priest Allen caught him red-handed, forcing him to spare my life with a compromise.
00:34I could at least be kept as free labor to tend herbs.
00:37Two months later, my mother was pregnant again.
00:39They spent their last pennies on bloodline potions,
00:42leaving me to survive on watered-fitted goat milk and kitchen scraps.
00:45My seven-year-old sister, Leah, looked after me with her tired little body.
00:48You could eat solid food at six months and we're as tough as a rabbit.
00:50Years later, she joked,
00:52Leah, I wasn't tough. I was starving.
00:54Finally, the boy was born.
00:55My mother was so overjoyed, you'd think she'd given birth to a prince.
00:58She ran to the markets, bragging to everyone about her son,
01:01especially in front of women who didn't have one.
01:03For the first time in her miserable life, she felt like she finally had status and glory.
01:07Nobody paid attention to me anymore.
01:09Most days, I huddled in the furthest corner of the stone path,
01:13terrified of getting in my brother's way.
01:15It's a miracle from the gods that I even survived.
01:18When I turned five, I was supposed to go to the church school to learn to read and pray,
01:22but my parents refused to pay for my books or magic candles.
01:26Pointless.
01:27They thought spending resources on a girl was pointless.
01:29I caught a terrible plague.
01:31I coughed all night long until I couldn't breathe.
01:33Before long, my brother started coughing too, and my parents panicked.
01:37Dark power!
01:38Not because of me, but because they were terrified the strange sickness would touch their precious son.
01:42They finally took us both to the village healer.
01:44The plague.
01:46Evil power has reached her lungs.
01:48She has to go to the hospital, or she won't make it.
01:50You must isolate her, or she will kill your son.
01:52On the way home, my mother held my coughing brother tight,
01:55walking so fast she was almost running.
01:57When we got back, I couldn't breathe, and my chest was in agonizing pain.
02:00I kept crying out for Mama, but she didn't even look back.
02:03She completely abandoned me.
02:04The freezing cold, the blurred vision, the gnawing hunger in my gut.
02:09And then, the world went black.
02:12I woke up on a thick, warm wool blanket.
02:15Three boys were gathered around me, whispering,
02:18looking at me like I was some rare magic creature they'd found in the woods.
02:22A kind, strong woman named Isoled Brune walked in with a bowl of chicken barley soup.
02:26Drink this.
02:27I gulped it down, but the moment I finished, she said she had to take you home.
02:32In a border town like this, you can't hide who belongs to which family.
02:36Her sons followed us the whole way, calling my name and trying to make me laugh.
02:41Halfway there, a blizzard hit.
02:43The oldest, Elias, took off his oversized leather gloves and slid them onto my frozen hands.
02:48When we reached my door, I heard my sister Leah inside.
02:52Where's Ella? She's been gone all night.
02:55I hope the snow and the plague took her.
02:57At least then she wouldn't infect your brother.
03:01I let out a painful cough.
03:03When my mother opened the door and saw me, there was no relief, only pure disappointment.
03:08My father growled from his chair.
03:11Gods above, she's actually still alive.
03:13I felt completely alone in the ice.
03:17Later, my father dragged me out to help sell the livestock.
03:21When I moved too slow, he swung a heavy wooden pitchfork at me.
03:25Just then, Mrs. Brune's carriage screeched to a halt.
03:27She had come back. She jumped out and stepped right between us, staring my father down with
03:31eyes like steel. She looked at my bruised face and told him,
03:34Fine. Give the girl to me. I have three sons and no daughter.
03:38Since you clearly don't want her, let's settle this by the law.
03:40I'll pay whatever I can.
03:42Mrs. Brune took them straight to the village deacon's office and made them sign a contract,
03:46giving up their parental rights.
03:48Just like that.
03:49For 50 silver coins, the deal was done.
03:51I became Mrs. Brune's daughter. As I left, my birth mother, Cassandra, leaned against
03:57the porch, chewing on wild fruit.
03:59She's nothing but a plague-ridden curse.
04:02She's your problem now. Don't come back in a month asking for a refund. We aren't taking
04:07her back.
04:07My new mom, Mrs. Brune, dressed me in her youngest son's old robes and bought me wool socks and
04:12sturdy boots. For the first time in my life, I had a hot breakfast every day. At night,
04:17she tucked me in and held me until I fell asleep. She smelled like soap and campfire.
04:21I tried so hard to hold back my coughs because I didn't want to be a bother. But she just
04:25rubbed
04:26my back, using a little bit of warm healing magic to help me breathe. My three new brothers treated
04:31me like a fragile treasure, always saving the last bite of dessert or the best spot by the fireplace
04:36for me. It all felt like a dream that was too good to be true. Every day, I waited for
04:40someone
04:40to wake me up. When the deep winter hit, Mr. Brune came home. He had been working as a stonemason
04:45at a faraway castle and only came back for the holidays. He was a big man, worn out from
04:49hard labor and silent as a brown bear. When mom introduced me, he just stared deep into
04:54my eyes. I could tell right away he didn't want me in this house. That night, they argued
04:59in the next room while I pretended to be asleep.
05:02Isolad, we're barely getting by.
05:04We can hardly feed our own sons. What were you thinking? Another mouth to feed?
05:09She barely eats anything.
05:11It's not just about the food, Isolad. Adopting a kid means being responsible for her forever.
05:18We can't afford that.
05:20I'm out of money, and she needs a doctor. Her cough is getting worse.
05:24Is there anything left from your wages?
05:27After a long, heavy silence, all I heard was his frustrated sigh. The next morning, before sunrise,
05:34he headed out to work. Mom woke me up. In this town, most people can't afford church healing
05:40insurance, especially day laborers. Going to a hospital is a fortune. Usually people just pray
05:45they don't get sick. I grabbed the doorframe, refusing to move. I was terrified they'd spend
05:50too much on me, decide she wasn't worth it, and send me back to Cassandra. We were stuck there until
05:54dad walked over. Without a word, he tossed me over his shoulder and carried me into the freezing wind.
05:59Maybe the gods were finally looking out for me. Halfway there, we ran into an old healer visiting
06:05relatives. He took one look, used a glimmer of magic to check my chest, and told my parents it
06:10wasn't a plague, just severe malnutrition and exhaustion. He gave me a basic healing spell for
06:15free, and didn't charge for the visit. Three days later, I could finally breathe without pain.
06:22By late December, the town was busy preparing for Christmas. There was a huge Christmas market in
06:28the square. Mom insisted on taking me since I'd never been. Meanwhile, dad had to fix a roof for
06:36free. He hated working for nothing, but the owner owed him two months' wages. He hoped that by helping
06:42out, he might actually get paid. That's just how life is on the border. You work yourself to death
06:47all year and might still end up with nothing. Despite the struggle, the market was packed with people
06:52looking for some holiday warmth. Mom bought me a roasted honey oat cake. My brothers didn't get one,
06:57but they didn't complain. I watched the lights and the crowds, trying to memorize everything.
07:04That's when I saw him. In the middle of all the laughter, there was a little boy. Two adults were
07:08gripping his arms tightly. He was struggling, tears streaming down his face, his mouth wide open,
07:14gasping for air. But he couldn't make a sound. I pulled on Mom's sleeve. Mom, look at that boy.
07:19Something's wrong. The boy was wearing fancy noble robes, but he was barefoot. Even worse,
07:24his feet were torn up and bleeding from being dragged. My mom's face changed instantly. She
07:29locked onto those two people like a hawk. The couple looked panicked and were trying to shove
07:33the boy into a beat-up carriage. But my mom isn't the type to back down. She grabbed us and
07:38stepped
07:39right in front of the horses. The man shouted with a heavy foreign accent. This is my son. It's a
07:44family
07:44matter. The mom looked at the boy and whispered a gentle prayer to calm him down. When she asked if
07:50he
07:50knew them, he just shook his head and sobbed. A crowd started to gather.
07:56Show us your noble documents or custody papers.
08:02Show them now or we're calling the town guards. They panicked. Realizing they were about to get
08:08caught, they shoved the boy to the ground, jumped onto the carriage and sped away in a cloud of dust.
08:14Mom was just about to take us to the guard station when someone screamed,
08:17Isolette, come quick. Your husband fell off the roof at the castle site. You have to get to the hospital
08:22now.
08:23Mom turned pale as a ghost. She was just a part-time teacher at the church school,
08:28barely making a few coins. Dad was the only one supporting the family. If something happened to him,
08:34we were all doomed. My brothers were spiraling, but mom didn't break. She gave a quick report about
08:39the boy to the guards, then turned to 11-year-old Elias, looking at him like he was a grown
08:45man.
08:45She gripped his shoulders hard. Elias, you're in charge now. Take care of your brothers and Ella.
08:53The snow started falling wildly, blurring everything in sight. Elias led us home,
08:59but the holiday joy was gone. I looked at my honey oat cake. It was already covered in frost.
09:05Elias made some oatmeal for dinner, but we were too heartbroken to eat. Only the boy we rescued
09:11finished his bowl. An old neighbor stayed the night, stroking my hair and sighing at our bad luck.
09:15The wind battered our house all night. I didn't sleep at all. At dawn, mom returned, looking like
09:21she'd aged 10 years. She grabbed everything of value, the chickens, the tools, the last bags of
09:26grain. Then, she headed back out into the freezing storm to beg for help. Dad was dying. He needed high
09:31level healing magic, which cost 8,000 silver coins. Dad only made 60 coins a day, but the foreman refused
09:37to
09:38pay, claiming dad just tripped. He only tossed us two coins and lied. The rest was already paid. He
09:43knew dad was unconscious and couldn't fight back. Mom managed to collect about 1,000 coins. As she
09:48packed for the city hospital, I ran to her with some small silver trinkets. Maybe you can sell these.
09:53That was the first time I called her mom. I was scared that if the money ran out, the love
09:58would
09:58end too. Keep them, Ella. No matter what happens, you are our daughter. Tears were filled her eyes as she
10:03touched my hair. Protect Ella and the boy. I'll find a way for your father. She gripped Elias' hand.
10:07I watched her vanish into the white wall of snow. Later, I followed Elias to the well. A group of
10:13women were gossiping, with my birth mother, Cassandra, in the middle. If the broons go broke,
10:18they'll dump that girl. She's a jinx. Everything was fine before she showed up. That brat is never
10:23coming back to my house. I won't let her bad luck touch my son. Elias squeezed my hand so hard
10:28it hurt.
10:28He stood tall in front of me. Ella is my sister. As long as I have bread, half is hers.
10:33We are never
10:34giving up on her. I cried. For the first time, I had a real home. Cassandra just rolled her eyes.
10:38You're a kid. You don't get a say. Mrs. Molly finally snapped. Shut up, Cassandra! That's your
10:43daughter. Have you no shame? I gave birth to her, but trust me, she was born for a bad ending.
10:48At lunch that day, I only took a tiny scoop of mashed potatoes. I wanted to eat less,
10:53thinking I could save money for Das treatment. But Elias saw right through me. He took my bowl,
10:58gave me a massive second scoop, and pushed the last of the scrambled eggs onto my plate.
11:02Then he gave an extra scoop to the boy we rescued. You kids need your strength.
11:06The boy struggled for a long time, his mouth moving as if he'd forgotten how to speak.
11:11Thank you. So, he wasn't mute after all. His voice was raspy like grinding gravel,
11:16probably from trauma or the sickness he caught while running away. In the evening,
11:20Leah sneaked onto our porch. She stared at my clean, warm wool clothes and asked,
11:24Did Mrs. Broon buy those for you? Yes. My mom bought them for me. Listen,
11:29Cassandra says if the Broons go broke and send you back, she won't take you. She's already talking
11:33to a slave trader from the next town. She's going to sell you for cash. Ella, I'm only telling you
11:37this because we share the same blood. Mom stayed at the hospital for another night. Our neighbor,
11:42Mrs. Gwen, came to stay with us. But without mom's voice, the house felt empty, like it was covered in
11:47shadows. I had a terrible nightmare. I dreamed I was back at my birth mother's house, locked in a
11:52stealthy cage, with them standing over me, holding a leather belt. I woke up denched in cold sweat,
11:59my heart pounding. Suddenly, there was a violent pounding on the front door.
12:04Isolette! Elias! Open up! It was the priest voice, and he sounded panicked. My first thought,
12:10Dad is gone. Elias bolted awake and rushed to open the door. It turned out to be the parents of
12:17the boy
12:17we rescued. They were dressed in rich velvet robes, looking incredibly anxious. As soon as they saw the
12:22sleepy little boy, the lady rushed forward, pulled him into a tight hug, and burst into tears. The boy
12:27struggled for a moment before finally letting out a raspy whisper. Mother. She cried even harder at
12:32the sound of his voice. Through trembling gestures and broken words, the boy explained everything that
12:36had happened. The lady kept weeping as she held him. Then she grabbed my hands, thanking me over and
12:41over again. Thank you. Ella, tell me what you want, and I'll get it for you. I just want my
12:46dad to be
12:46okay. She looked at me and asked. The priest sighed and told them about my parents' situation. They even
12:51adopted little Ella. It's just a tragedy that bad things happen to good people. The noble man who had
12:55been standing growlantly. Good people deserve a good ending. Your father is going to be just fine. He
13:04patted my head. That night, the guests stayed at our house. The next morning, Count Lossant and Lady Evelyn
13:09prayed their magic carriage, decorated, and took us all to the hospital in the main city. It was my first
13:14time in such
13:14a fancy carriage. We kids huddled together in the back, curious and nervous all at once. When we
13:19arrived, we saw mom from a distance, kneed on the ground. Please. I'm sorry, but without silver. Him,
13:23I can't do anything. But the cost was tway. And due valens, the disherah couldn't do anon. Count
13:28Lossant didn't say a word. He simply paid for dad's entire high-level treatment on the spot. By
13:34afternoon, a porty guild manager arrived in a hurry with that dishonest foreman. The moment they saw the
13:39count, they bowed low, acting as shaking with fear. He immediately paid back every cent of the wages he
13:43owed dad for months and trembling. I'll pay for every cost of his entire high-level treatment on
13:47the spot. Mom couldn't stop thanking them, but Lady Evelyn stepped forward and gripped her hands,
13:52her voice breaking. If it weren't for you, Sasal would have been taken forever.
13:56I finally figured out what happened. Count Lossant and Lady Evelyn are high-ranking nobles from the
14:01border. They were traveling home for Christmas to visit family and friends. They were busy people who
14:05didn't have Cecil until later in life, so he was usually watched by servants. Since they were
14:10traveling light this time, Cecil was snatched by human traffickers the second they looked away at
14:14the market. Thanks to my mom stepping up, she didn't just save Cecil, she accidentally cured his
14:19long-term silence too. When dad finally came out of the healing room, the doctor announced his leg
14:23was saved. That's when it hit me. It was Christmas Eve. That night, we had a feast for a castle,
14:29specially arranged by the count. I realized there was food a thousand times better than oat cakes and
14:34roasted meat. After the banquet, the count's family prepared to head back to their castle.
14:39Cesso gripped my hand tightly. His voice was shaky, but he meant every word.
14:43Ella, come with me. Lady Evelyn whispered with my mom for a moment, then knelt down and asked me
14:49gently, Ella, would you like to come live with us at the castle? That way, I could be with Cecil
14:55every
14:56day. I looked at my mom, terrified. Did she think I was a jinx too? Did she want me gone?
15:03Mom's eyes were red as she touched my head. Lady Eleven and Cecil adore you, Ella. You'd have a much
15:09better life with them. I gripped her hand tight and shook my head as hard as I could. Lady Evelyn
15:14gave me a hug. You're a good girl, Ella. We'll see each other again, I promise. As I watched them
15:20leave, I reached into my pocket. I realized that when she hugged me, Lady Evelyn had slipped a bag
15:26of gold coins inside. Because his treatment was delayed, my dad's leg never fully healed. Even with
15:31the best doctors, he still limps when he tries to run. But back then, just saving the leg felt like
15:37a miracle. Mom tells everyone that if I hadn't noticed Cecil that day, our family would have
15:42fallen apart. You're my lucky star. Even dad calls me his lucky star now. Everyone praises me,
15:49except for my birth parents. They just scoff and say, if it wasn't for her, maybe her father wouldn't
15:56have fallen off the roof in the first place. They still don't like me. But it doesn't matter
16:01anymore. Having my mom, my dad, and my brothers love me is more than enough.
16:06Two weeks later, during the Christmas season, Count Lausanne and Lady Evelyn returned with
16:11Cecil to visit us. They brought high-end gifts from their carriage-warming crystals, protective
16:15scrawls, and jars of berry honey. They even had brand new wool robes and leather boots made
16:20for all four of us. Lady Evelyn spoke softly to my parents. She offered to arrange a job for
16:24dad as a guard for the castle, with a steady monthly salary. For mom, she recommended a
16:28teaching position at a new church school near the capital. If she did well, she could even
16:33become a formal member of the clergy with a permanent pension. As for us four kids, she
16:37offered to help us get into a magic academy. My parents were terrified of being a burden,
16:41but Lady Evelyn just laughed and said it was the least she could do. She only asked that we visit
16:46Cecil often, because since he went home, he had stopped talking again, until he heard he was
16:51coming to see us. Then, he finally started speaking again. News of this miracle spread
16:56through the small town like wildfire. Before the Count and his wife even left, my birth parents
17:01showed up at the door.
17:03Cassandra came in with a fake smile I'd never seen before. She grabbed my hand and-
17:07We have no idea how much I suffered to give birth to Ella. I'm her real, biological mother.
17:13If you want to repay someone, it should be us.
17:15We've been thinking it over, and we just can't let our daughter go. We're taking her back.
17:20My mom panicked and tried to pry their hands off.
17:23Brune.
17:25Easy! Let go! You're hurting her!
17:28But they didn't let up. Not one bit. Count Lozon frowned, but stayed silent. Lady Evelyn
17:34stepped forward, knelt down, and asked me,
17:36Are they really your biological parents? I bit my lip and didn't say a word.
17:40Of course they are! The whole town knows it!
17:43Lady Evelyn looked conflicted.
17:46Look, I'm not asking for much. Just take my son to the Magic Academy and find jobs for
17:51me and my husband. Since you're nobles, that should be a piece of cake, right?
17:57Lady Evelyn only looked at me.
18:00They are my parents.
18:01Cassandra's face twisted, and she started cursing. Hardy even raised his arm to slap me across
18:05the face. Right then, Dad stepped in and gave him a hard shove.
18:09You don't get touched, my daughter.
18:12He scooped me up and handed me to Mom.
18:15Take Ella and get back.
18:18Dad was usually a man of few words, but now he grabbed an iron hoe from the corner.
18:23Since Ella claims me, you aren't taking her anywhere.
18:26That's when the priest turned into a chaotic mess. The whole the priest stepped out and scolded
18:31them.
18:31You took money to give Ella to the Brunes. Everyone saw it. There's no taking her back now.
18:36Having lost all face, Cassandra shrieked. But she's my own and flesh and blood. No one can
18:41change that.
18:42Ella helped Savile, but it was this woman's bravery that saved him. We treat Ella well
18:46because we respect her mother's character. Don't get it twisted.
18:49She handed a box of honeyed spirit fruit paste to Cassandra.
18:52Take this for your kids. We're just ordinary lords. We don't have the power to just hand out
18:57jobs to anyone.
18:58Left with nothing, Hardy and Cassandra could only slink away in shame.
19:02I felt like I had caused so much trouble, and tears started rolling down my face.
19:08Lady Evelyn touched my head and said,
19:10Don't cry. You did exactly the right thing.
19:12My parents spent a few days packing up our lives. Once the Christmas season ended,
19:17we all piled into a carriage sent by Lady Evelyn and headed for the capital.
19:20My dad is tall and honest, and the captor of the castle guards liked him right away,
19:25so he got the job on the spot.
19:26Mom finally started at the church school, too.
19:29Lady Evelyn rented a small house for us near the Count's estate so Cecil could visit us whenever
19:34he wanted. Cecil and I started at the same church elementary school together.
19:39He was brilliant, but because he still struggled to speak clearly, the other kids would pick on him.
19:43I was terrified of the people in the big city, too, but I knew I had to protect him.
19:47Every time someone tried to bully him, I stood right in front of him.
19:49With so many kids in our house and me constantly dragging him into conversations,
19:53his speech got clearer and smooth every day.
19:55By the time we moved up to the high-level academy, he was at the top of every class,
19:59answering questions without a single stubble.
20:01The only catch? Every time he helped me with my runes or writing, he'd tease me for being a bit
20:04slow.
20:05I've never been the smartest student, and my grades were always just average.
20:09But my brothers were amazing. They were almost always at the top of their classes.
20:13Mom was incredibly busy. She poured her soul into teaching runes, never slacking for a moment.
20:17Mrs. Broon, look at my runes!
20:19Her students absolutely adored her.
20:21This is wonderful.
20:22When her first class graduated with outstanding marts, she passed the exams.
20:25She officially became a senior tutor at the grammar school.
20:28Dad remained just as dedicated.
20:29While other guards often napped during their night shifts, he patrolled until dawn.
20:33One night, while covering for a colleague, two thieves broke into the workshop.
20:37The other guards saw their blades and froze in fear.
20:39But Dad, despite his old leg injury, chased them down with a limp.
20:42He refused to let go, even after being stabbed.
20:44When the city guards arrived and caught them, they found stolen blueprints.
20:47It was the core magic circle design, a massive secret.
20:50This would have been a disaster.
20:51Losing it would have been a catastrophe.
20:52Lady Evelyn rushed to visit him.
20:54She whispered that,
20:55You must never risk your life like that again.
20:58I only begot this job because of you.
21:00I couldn't let you down.
21:01Dad just gave a humble smile.
21:03Lady Evelyn stood stunned, unable to find words for a long time.
21:06It happened that the guard captain was retiring.
21:09The new guard captain, Hardy Bruin.
21:11It was a promotion he earned with his own blood, and no one dared to breathe a word of protest.
21:17Not long after that, my grandmother fell ill.
21:19Mom took us all back to the small town to visit her.
21:22Grandmother had two sons and one daughter, and among her grandchildren, I was the only girl.
21:27Even though I wasn't her flesh and blood, she was very kind to me.
21:32I washed her face and hands, and she pulled a small cloth bag from under her pillow, trying to give
21:38me silver coins.
21:39For you.
21:40The second day we arrived, Cassandra showed up at the door.
21:43She was with a short, stout, middle-aged man, with a face full of arrogance.
21:47What's the use of a girl learning so many runes in writing?
21:49Besides, with your talent, you'll never become a high-level mage anyway.
21:52This is Horn, the owner of the biggest meat shop in town.
21:54He has hundreds of cattle and several apprentices.
21:57He's a bit older than you, but he's wealthy.
21:58If you marry him, you'll be the mistress of the shop.
22:01You won't have to suffer with the brunes anymore.
22:03Horn looked me up and down, looking very satisfied.
22:05He held up two fingers, acting like a big spender.
22:08I'm willing to pay 50 silver coins to buy you.
22:10Cassandra pulled my mother aside and whispered,
22:13Of these 50 silver coins, I'll take 35 and give you 15.
22:16That way you didn't raise this daughter for nothing.
22:18Mom nearly fainted from pure rage.
22:20Ella isn't even 16 yet.
22:22That's exactly, could Tassanen skip a beat?
22:25That's exactly why she's worth so much.
22:27Grandmother sat straight up in bed, trembling as she reached for a broom.
22:31My uncles, known for their tempers, grabbed their hoes and axes.
22:34My brothers started picking up weapons, too.
22:37With that fat face of yours, you think you're good enough for Ella?
22:41This is the only girl in our family, and we treasure her.
22:44You have no right to treat her like her trash.
22:46Mom shielded me firmly behind her back, her eyes cold and unwavering.
22:50Ella is my daughter.
22:51Her future is mine to decide.
22:53If you ever try this again, don't blame me for what happens next.
22:56Horn was scared half to death.
22:59Cassandra kept arguing, saying I had to get married eventually, and no one else would pay for me.
23:04Just then, Dad ran over with news.
23:07Ella passed the Academy's junior magic and rune exams!
23:10Mom was incredibly moved.
23:11She straightened her back and looked Cassandra in the eye.
23:14Her voice was loud and proud.
23:15Who said my Ella would never amount to anything?
23:17She passed her exams and is moving to the Intermediate Academy.
23:20One day she will study high magic and become a respected maid!
23:23Cassandra's face turned deathly pale.
23:25She couldn't find a single word to say.
23:27My uncles, aunt, and brothers saw their chance.
23:30They shoved Horn and dragged Cassandra toward the gate.
23:34They kicked them out of the house without a shred of mercy.
23:37The two of them scrambled away in utter humiliation.
23:40That night, Mom held my hand.
23:43Her voice was gentle yet heavy.
23:45Ella, life is harder for us as women in this world.
23:47You must work twice as hard at your runes and magic.
23:51Only then will you have the strength to stand on your own.
23:54Cecil and I both attended the Intermediate Magic Academy.
23:57However, he passed with honors, while I barely made the grade.
24:02His classes were on the first floor, and mine were on the fourth.
24:05But every day after school, he would wait for me on the ground floor.
24:09He was brilliant at magic and incredibly handsome.
24:11Everyone's eyes were always on him.
24:13And by extension on me, the pressure was getting to me.
24:16On our way home, I finally spoke up.
24:19Cecil, maybe we should walk separately from now on.
24:21Why?
24:22We draw too much attention.
24:24He looked at me calmly.
24:26Did you master the spells the teacher taught today?
24:29Huh?
24:30No.
24:31Not yet.
24:34Then how do you have time to listen to gossip?
24:36I had no answer to that.
24:39So?
24:40Just like always, he continued to wait for me.
24:43I had no idea.
24:43I had no idea.
24:43I had no idea.
