Ex-Husband Stole My Daughter’s Cure, Regretted Knowing That I’m The Elven Queen HD Watch Till The End

Film.Decoded

Transcript

00:00:00I lay on the stone bed of the sacred infirmary, trembling violently.

00:00:05Every doctor in the Wind Kingdom was on edge for my sake.

00:00:09Yet my husband, Lord Ronan, was nowhere to be seen.

00:00:15I was used to his coldness.

00:00:18But at this moment, having gambled my life and burned my manna to bear this child,

00:00:25a ridiculous shred of hope still flickered in my heart years ago.

00:00:29When I was in a desperate situation, the young Ronan saved my life.

00:00:36That kindness became my lifelong obsession.

00:00:40But he had no idea that I was the sole pure-blooded daughter of the High Elfin King.

00:00:49When I met with disaster in my youth, I was rescued by him, the lord of a mere mid-tier

00:00:56Elfin Kingdom.

00:00:58To repay that debt, I concealed my supreme identity, even using a forbidden ritual to seal away the radiant wings

00:01:06of nature on my back that symbolized supreme divine authority.

00:01:12I willingly became an ordinary female elf with no background, marrying into his territory.

00:01:20Under a false name for years, I remained gentle and submissive, using my own pure-blooded mana to nourish his

00:01:28family, all for a sliver of his affection.

00:01:35Yet, I could never warm a heart of stone.

00:01:39In Ronan's heart, there was only ever room for his first love, Vanessa.

00:01:48The agony intensified as the mana and bloodlines within my body surged in a violent reverse flow, but I held

00:01:57on to my last strength.

00:01:58Yet, all that arrived was a cold, ruthless message from a guard.

00:02:04My lady, the lord is busy with official matters and cannot come.

00:02:08Please deliver the child on your own, and do not delay the lord's business.

00:02:12At that moment, a self-deprecating laugh escaped my lips.

00:02:16This life of mine and the child in my womb never mattered to him.

00:02:21After an entire day and night of deathly struggle, a soft, fragile wile finally shattered the silence of the infirmary.

00:02:29This was my daughter, a precious treasure, bought at the cost of all my mana.

00:02:37I named her Iris.

00:02:39At that exact moment, my personal guard rushed in to report.

00:02:43My lady!

00:02:45The lord has finished his external affairs, and has returned to the main manor in his unicorn sacred carriage.

00:02:50Within my deadland heart, a tiny spark suddenly ignited.

00:02:54I instinctively assumed that no matter how cold or selfish he might be, at least he would at least want

00:02:59to look at his newborn flesh and blood.

00:03:01Forcing my exhausted, severely depleted body up, I carefully held my daughter in her swaddling clothes, making my way toward

00:03:07the promenade of the main temple to see my husband.

00:03:09But just as I reached the promenade and looked through the lush courtyard of the sacred elven tree, I froze

00:03:15instantly.

00:03:16The blood in my veins turning to ice.

00:03:19My husband stood there, tall and elegant in his black robes, and right beside him stood a woman, the first

00:03:25love he had yearned for and never forgotten.

00:03:27It was Vanessa.

00:03:29What struck me like a bolt from the blue was that in front of them stood a little elfin boy,

00:03:33roughly three years old, with long pointed ears and a pair of eyes that flashed with a cunning disguised as

00:03:39inonance.

00:03:39Countless absurd possibilities flashed through my mind.

00:03:43My hands shook uncontrollably from shock and rage, but I forced myself to stand my ground, enduring the tearing pain

00:03:50of the postpartum mana reverse flow.

00:03:52Vanessa looked up and spotted me, her mouth curving into a flitting, provocative smirk.

00:03:56She intentionally leaned closer, into Ronan's embrace, her voice soft yet dripping with malice.

00:04:02Ronan, so she's the one who stole my man and my title while I was away?

00:04:07Tenderness instantly flooded Ronan's eyes as he wrapped his arm around her.

00:04:12He comforted her softly, even placing a lingering kiss upon her forehead, right in front of me.

00:04:19When he turned to me, his tone was piercingly cold and dismissive.

00:04:24Think nothing of it, Vanessa.

00:04:26You are my true love.

00:04:30I have never loved her.

00:04:31She is nothing more than a tool to manage the tribe.

00:04:36Ronan, look closely.

00:04:38This is the daughter I just risked my life to give you.

00:04:41Look at her, she was just born.

00:04:43Look how beautiful she is.

00:04:44Ronan cast a brief, indifferent glance downward.

00:04:46In his eyes, there was not a shred of paternal emotion, only naked disgust and annoyance.

00:04:52He swiftly averted his gaze, as though looking at his own flesh and blood for even a second longer would

00:04:56defile his relationship with Vanessa.

00:04:58Vanessa's gaze locked onto the infant in my arms, a flash of venom crossing her eyes.

00:05:04Promptly, she lifted her pitiful face, gazing up at Ronan with a trembling sob.

00:05:10Ronan, she has already born a child for the tribe.

00:05:13Then what about our Jasper?

00:05:14He followed me, wandering among foreign kingdoms, and suffered for three long years.

00:05:20He is your eldest son, the future heir of the Wind Kingdom.

00:05:24Looking at that three-year-old elf and child clinging to their side, I felt as if my soul had

00:05:29been struck by lightning.

00:05:30It turned out that my suspicion was actually the truth.

00:05:33What exactly is going on here?

00:05:36Ronan looked down at me, entirely devoid of guilt, and let out a righteous, cold snot.

00:05:43Good, you saw it. Saves me the trouble of explaining.

00:05:45When Vanessa left three years ago, she was already pregnant with my child!

00:05:48For these three years, she raised Jasper alone among foreign kingdoms, enduring endless grievance.

00:05:52Now that she has returned, I must make it them properly, restoring everything that belongs to them a thousand times

00:05:58over!

00:05:59I stared at the picture-perfect family of three before me, as a boundless despair swallowed me like a tidal

00:06:07wave.

00:06:08Just as I was on the verge of collapsing, Ronan's mother, Elodie, walked over hoarsely, flanked by attendants.

00:06:15Three-year-old Jasper was incredibly sweet-talked, twitching his delicate little elven ears.

00:06:19He immediately ran over on his short legs, and tightly hugged Elodie's leg.

00:06:25Grandma! I finally get to see you!

00:06:29Mother said you are the most benevolent and noble elder.

00:06:34In the entire kingdom!

00:06:36Elodie, who was extremely superstitious about bloodlines and male esters, melted instantly.

00:06:42She gathered Jasper into her arms, treating him like her ultimate treasure.

00:06:48Seizing the moment, Vanessa leaned into Ronan's embrace, weeping with feigned grievance.

00:06:54It's all my fault! If I had been stronger, your perfect grandson wouldn't have spent three years starving in exile.

00:07:05Elodie's heart ached for them.

00:07:06She snapped her head around to look at me, with my deathly, pale face, and my weakly, wailing daughter.

00:07:13Her eyes instantly turning into daggers of piercing disgust.

00:07:18You nearly died just to produce a magicless, useless girl?

00:07:25What a pathetic waste!

00:07:27Pack up that defective brat and drag yourselves to the Wythen Tower at the border right now!

00:07:33I won't let you bring your bad luck near my precious grandson!

00:07:40Ronan, Iris is your flesh and blood too.

00:07:44How can you just let them trample all over us?

00:07:49But Ronan's face remained completely indifferent, his tone dripping with disdain.

00:07:54Mother is right.

00:07:57Jasper is the future, and hope of Wind Kingdom.

00:08:01The daughter you gave birth to has a dull divine mark.

00:08:07She is utterly unworthy of living in the main manor.

00:08:13Going to the tower is your only option.

00:08:17Vanessa threw a provocative glance my way, squeezing her throat to spit out the most poison words.

00:08:22She is, loser, since you possess no noble bloodline.

00:08:27Staying here will only bring you self-inflicted humiliation.

00:08:32Looking at their hypocritical, I clenched my fingers, and the very last ember of gratitude within me was completely extinguished.

00:08:41The cold wind wowed through the withered tower, a place that never saw a single ray of moonlight.

00:08:48I held my frail little daughter close, huddling in the corner of the freezing stone wall.

00:08:54Having barely survived childbirth, and with my mana completely burned out,

00:09:00my chest felt as if it were being torn apart.

00:09:04By ten thousand winds.

00:09:07Just when I was completely helpless and desperate,

00:09:10the heavy wooden door of the tower was suddenly pushed open,

00:09:15and Ronan walked in, silhouetted against the light.

00:09:19In that single instant, a ridiculous shred of hope actually flared up once more in my deadland heart.

00:09:28He was the child's father.

00:09:30Had he finally softened, coming to bring some mana, to ward off the cold?

00:09:36Or to take my daughter and me back?

00:09:38Forcing my mana-depleased body up, my pale looks trembled.

00:09:43Did you come to see Iris?

00:09:45Iris, she caught a chill, and the divine mark on her forehead is growing weaker and weaker.

00:09:52Please, save her.

00:09:53But before I could even get close,

00:09:57Ronan took a disgusted step backward.

00:09:59Serafana.

00:10:00As if the child and I were some kind of fear.

00:10:02I only came here to warn you.

00:10:06Stay in your withered tower quietly.

00:10:08Sign this declaration relinquishing your rights as the primary mistress,

00:10:11and don't try any clever tricks.

00:10:13I felt as though I had been struck by lightning, taking a shocked step back.

00:10:18I stared firmly at the man.

00:10:20I had loved with my very life for three years.

00:10:24You came all the way to this desolate place.

00:10:28Not to cast a single glance at your own daughter,

00:10:31but merely to force me to give up my position.

00:10:35And to warn me?

00:10:36Ronan let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with arrogance,

00:10:41and a fierce protectiveness for Vanessa.

00:10:44Vanessa is kind-hearted.

00:10:46And she suffered terribly.

00:10:49While wandering among foreign kingdoms with our child.

00:10:52I will not allow anyone to disrupt Jasper's upbringing.

00:10:57I am warning you.

00:11:00Put away that jealous face of yours.

00:11:02Stay where you belong.

00:11:04And do not provoke Vanessa and her son.

00:11:07If I discover that you dare to secretly harm them.

00:11:12Or attempt to steal the resources that belong to Jasper.

00:11:16I will absolutely show you no mercy.

00:11:19In the darkness, my daughter let out a faint, protesting cry.

00:11:23Ronan, however, did not bother to spare even a glance from the corner of his eye.

00:11:28He turned and departed resolutely.

00:11:30The heavy iron door slamming shut with a resounding thud.

00:11:33Holding my child, I collapsed into the freezing mud, laughing at my own stupidity.

00:11:38He came only to warn me.

00:11:41The night sky hung low as the freezing wind raged through the dead silence of the withered tower.

00:11:47Preventing even a single slimmer of moonlight from penetrating the darkness.

00:11:51I had burned through the vast majority of my mana during childbirth.

00:11:55The magic within my body had completely dried up.

00:11:57I could only hold my little princess tightly in my arms.

00:12:00Using my own faint body wheat to provide warmth for my infant,

00:12:04who was running a continuous low fever inside her swaddling clothes.

00:12:07Yet at this very moment,

00:12:09inside the Wind Kingdom's main temple,

00:12:11there was a completely different scene

00:12:14of brilliant lights, music, and extravagant luxury.

00:12:18Vanessa and her son sat on a soft couch

00:12:20covered in the rarest luminescent beast skins,

00:12:22basking in the attention and adoration

00:12:24of all the high-ranking elves in the kingdom.

00:12:28Three-year-old Jasper fluttered the tiny green elban wings

00:12:31that had just begun to develop on his back.

00:12:33Holding an exquisite elban sacred berry in his hands,

00:12:35his face completely smeared with juice,

00:12:38Elayda sat high upon her throne, grinning from ear to ear,

00:12:42her eyes overflowing with a dotting pride.

00:12:45Watching this warm and harmonious scene,

00:12:47the more Elayda looked at this chubby grandson,

00:12:49the more pleasing he seemed to her eye.

00:12:52Stroking the staff that symbolized her power as the high priestess,

00:12:55she impatiently turned to prompt my husband,

00:12:57Ronan, who was standing beside her.

00:12:58Ronan, Vanessa and her son have wandered among foreign kingdoms for years,

00:13:03enduring endless hardships.

00:13:06Now my precious eldest grandson is already three years old,

00:13:09and the wind-attributed mana within his body is so abundant.

00:13:14How can he continue to stay in the guest room so illegitimately?

00:13:17Tonight, you must have Vanessa and Jasper

00:13:20officially move into the Lord's main manor,

00:13:23into the bedchambers that rightfully belong

00:13:25to the primary mistress and the heir!

00:13:27Ronan lowered his eyes,

00:13:29looking at Vanessa's adoration-filled face,

00:13:31as she leaned coyly against him,

00:13:33and then at the child, who was sweetly calling him father.

00:13:37The scales in his heart had already tipped completely.

00:13:39Without a shred of hesitation,

00:13:41he nodded his agreement coldly on the spot.

00:13:43Mother is right.

00:13:45The best location in the main manor

00:13:47should naturally be reserved for the heir

00:13:49who truly carries the excellent bloodline of our kingdom.

00:13:53Seeing her son agree so readily,

00:13:55Aloy's face flushed with even more delight.

00:13:57Standing up hauntily while leaning on her staff,

00:13:59she addressed all the tribal high officials present,

00:14:02in a grand, supreme tone.

00:14:04Not only that!

00:14:05Wind Kingdom has thrived to this day,

00:14:07and our bloodline is supreme!

00:14:09Jasper is exceptionally bright,

00:14:11displaying astonishing magical talent

00:14:12at such a tender age.

00:14:14He deserves the recognition of all kingdoms!

00:14:16I propose that in three days,

00:14:18we hold the most grand and magnificent

00:14:20official announcement celebration

00:14:21for three-year-old Jasper.

00:14:23We shall high-profilely declare him

00:14:25as the primary heir

00:14:27of our Wind Kingdom's future!

00:14:29In three days, Jasper would be declared

00:14:31the primary heir.

00:14:33Following her move into the main manor,

00:14:35Vanessa began to carry herself entirely

00:14:36as the Queen of the Wind Kingdom.

00:14:38Dressed in extravagant silks,

00:14:39she glided through the temple

00:14:41flanked by her entourage,

00:14:42soaking in the endless, shallow flattery.

00:14:45Yet a stubborn sliver of anxiety

00:14:46remained buried deep in her chest.

00:14:48Whenever night fell,

00:14:49she would catch Ronan standing on the balcony,

00:14:51staring with a conflicted expression

00:14:52towards that dark, desolate, withered tower.

00:14:55Though he spoke with absolute coldness,

00:14:57subconsciously,

00:14:58he still harbored a faint trace of worry

00:15:00for my baby and me,

00:15:01a worry he refused to admit even to himself.

00:15:03This lingering gaze made Vanessa's jealousness

00:15:05and paranoia grow wild.

00:15:08As long as my daughter and I were breathing,

00:15:10her position and Jasper's future

00:15:12would never be safe.

00:15:13An opportunity presented itself

00:15:15sooner than expected.

00:15:16Early this morning,

00:15:17desperate to give my frail daughter

00:15:18a single drop of clean water,

00:15:20my completely helpless self

00:15:21was forced to drag my broken body

00:15:23out of the tower,

00:15:24heading deep into the woods

00:15:25to harvest pure spring water

00:15:26filtered by ancient divine marks.

00:15:28Learning of this,

00:15:29Vanessa's eyes turned ice cold.

00:15:31She knew her moment had arrived.

00:15:33She quietly dismissed the guards

00:15:35around the main manor,

00:15:36taking only a few of her most ruthlessness confidence

00:15:39as she slipped into the dark,

00:15:41abandoned, withered tower.

00:15:42The wooden door creaked open,

00:15:44letting in the piercing chill.

00:15:47Vanessa stepped over the debris,

00:15:49advancing slow pace by slow pace

00:15:51until she stopped right in front

00:15:53of the primitive stone bed.

00:15:54Inside her swaddling clothes,

00:15:56newborn Iris was sleeping soundly.

00:15:58Though her little face was pale,

00:16:00the faint golden divine mark

00:16:01shimmering on her forehead

00:16:02radiated an undeniable nobility

00:16:04and purity,

00:16:05a mark that made Vanessa's eyes

00:16:07burn with pure envy.

00:16:08You pathetic little freak.

00:16:11You think you're worthy

00:16:13of Ronan's blood?

00:16:14If you want to blame anyone,

00:16:16blame your useless mother.

00:16:18The mask of innocence

00:16:20slipped from Vanessa's face,

00:16:22her eyes twisting with pure malice.

00:16:24From her wide sleeve,

00:16:25she slowly pulled out

00:16:27a porcelain vial

00:16:28that emitted an eerie green glow.

00:16:30Inside was a forbidden,

00:16:32lethal toxin she had purchased

00:16:33at an exorgent price

00:16:35from the black market.

00:16:36Soul-eating elixir,

00:16:38specifically designed to dissolve

00:16:39a newborn elf's mana core

00:16:41and caused their soul

00:16:43to rot away inch by inch.

00:16:44With a trembling hand,

00:16:45she popped the cork

00:16:46and violently clamped her fingers

00:16:48over my baby's fragile jaw.

00:16:51The sharp pain

00:16:52forced my sleeping princess

00:16:53to snap her eyes open,

00:16:55letting out a weak,

00:16:57agonizing cry.

00:16:58But Vanessa was entirely unfazed.

00:17:01With a distorted,

00:17:02demonic sneer,

00:17:03she forced the entire bottle

00:17:05of icy,

00:17:05corrosive poison

00:17:06straight down

00:17:07my infant's tender throat.

00:17:09When I returned

00:17:10to the withered tower,

00:17:12thoroughly exhausted

00:17:13and clutching that tiny container

00:17:15of pure spring water

00:17:16tightly to my chest,

00:17:17what greeted me

00:17:18was not the gentle sound

00:17:19of my daughter's breathing,

00:17:20but a deathly silence.

00:17:23My heart skipped a beat

00:17:25and a boundless panic

00:17:27instantly seized me

00:17:28in a death grip.

00:17:30I practically crawled

00:17:32and scrambled my way

00:17:33toward that freezing stone bed.

00:17:37Iris,

00:17:40mommy is back.

00:17:41The moment my trembling hands

00:17:43pulled back the swaddling clothes,

00:17:45the sight before me

00:17:46caused me to drop

00:17:47into an abyss of ice.

00:17:51Her originally pink little face

00:17:53was now completely white,

00:17:57even faintly tinged

00:17:59with an eerie,

00:18:00sickly green,

00:18:01deathly energy.

00:18:02What truly shattered my soul

00:18:04was that the faint,

00:18:05golden elven divine mark

00:18:07on her forehead,

00:18:08which had been flickering softly,

00:18:10was now darkened

00:18:12across a massive area.

00:18:14Iris!

00:18:17Wake up.

00:18:20Look at mommy.

00:18:22Don't scare mommy.

00:18:23Sprinting once more

00:18:25toward the Wind Kingdom's infirmary,

00:18:30I slammed the infirmary doors open

00:18:33with immense force.

00:18:35The sitting doctor

00:18:36took one look

00:18:37at the infant in my arms,

00:18:38who was hanging onto life

00:18:40by a mere thread,

00:18:41and his face

00:18:43instantly changed color.

00:18:44His hands trembled

00:18:46as he probed

00:18:47the fluctuations

00:18:48within my daughter's body,

00:18:50his eyes filling with horror.

00:18:53Heavens!

00:18:55This is the forbidden poison

00:18:57that destroys the mana core!

00:18:59The child's natural core

00:19:01is withering away,

00:19:02inch by inch.

00:19:03She is in critical danger

00:19:05and will not survive

00:19:06past half a month.

00:19:07The doctor's words

00:19:08were like a massive hammer,

00:19:09smashing my heart

00:19:11to the point where I wished

00:19:12I could die

00:19:14on the spot.

00:19:15To suppress

00:19:16this aggressive toxin,

00:19:19we must immediately

00:19:20inject

00:19:21a powerful,

00:19:22compatible mana

00:19:23from her father's kingdom

00:19:25to protect her heart path.

00:19:29Otherwise...

00:19:29Trembling,

00:19:30I closed my eyes,

00:19:31disregarding any cost.

00:19:33I forcibly reversed

00:19:34the remaining essence

00:19:35within my body,

00:19:36frantically activating

00:19:37the soul transmission

00:19:38unique to the elven race.

00:19:40A connection

00:19:41never lightly opened

00:19:42unless it was a matter

00:19:43of life or death.

00:19:45Rowan,

00:19:46save our daughter!

00:19:47Save our daughter!

00:19:48From the other end,

00:19:49there was only

00:19:50a deathly silence,

00:19:51followed by a completely

00:19:53heartless rejection.

00:19:54Rowan had actually

00:19:55severed my soul transmission,

00:19:57treating my soul cry

00:19:58for hair

00:19:59entirely as nothing.

00:20:04RORAN!

00:20:06I beg you,

00:20:09connect to me.

00:20:13Save Iris.

00:20:15I knelt on the freezing floor

00:20:16of the infirmary,

00:20:17sending out the soul transmission

00:20:19over and over again,

00:20:20even though maintaining it

00:20:21for every additional second

00:20:22brought a tearing,

00:20:23agonizing pain

00:20:24to my dried up sea

00:20:25of consciousness.

00:20:26I refused to let go.

00:20:28At this moment,

00:20:29inside the Wind Kingdom's

00:20:31main manor,

00:20:32Ronan was patiently

00:20:33keeping Vanessa

00:20:34and her son company.

00:20:36Three-year-old Jasper,

00:20:37dressed in a luxurious outfit

00:20:39embroidered with green leaves

00:20:40and gold thread,

00:20:41was pulling back

00:20:42a delicate short

00:20:43wooden monobow.

00:20:48When he hit the bullseye,

00:20:50it drew bursts of gasps

00:20:51and praise

00:20:52from the surrounding

00:20:53attendants,

00:20:54perhaps perturbed

00:20:55and annoyed

00:20:56by my weeping,

00:20:57blood-soaked pleas

00:20:58that continuously echoed

00:21:00in his mind

00:21:01like an act

00:21:02of self-mutilation.

00:21:03After coldly cutting it off

00:21:05over a dozen times,

00:21:07Ronan finally accepted

00:21:07the connection.

00:21:09His phantom projection

00:21:11materialized in mid-air,

00:21:12looking down at my battered

00:21:14and wretched form

00:21:14from a great height,

00:21:15his eyes filled

00:21:16with absolute impatience

00:21:18and disgust.

00:21:19Serafana,

00:21:21haven't you thrown

00:21:22enough of a tantrum?

00:21:23Is the soul transmission

00:21:25something you use

00:21:27as a prop

00:21:28to throw jealous fits?

00:21:30Ronan,

00:21:31no,

00:21:32Iris has been poisoned.

00:21:33Her mana core

00:21:34is about to shatter

00:21:35and the doctor said

00:21:36we must have

00:21:37the compatible mana

00:21:38from your body

00:21:38immediately

00:21:39to protect her heart path.

00:21:42I beg you,

00:21:43come and see her.

00:21:45Poisoned?

00:21:46The moment Vanessa

00:21:48and Jasper

00:21:48move into the main house,

00:21:51you begin fabricating

00:21:52such an absurd lie.

00:21:54Are you trying

00:21:54to curse my heir?

00:21:56I am not lying!

00:21:59She is really

00:22:00about to die.

00:22:04enough!

00:22:07I know you are resentful

00:22:09because you gave birth

00:22:11to a daughter

00:22:13and your position

00:22:14as the Lord's Concord

00:22:15is insecure.

00:22:16But I am warning you,

00:22:19do not use a child

00:22:21as an excuse

00:22:24to disturb me.

00:22:27Jasper has to try

00:22:28on his robes

00:22:29for the dawn celebration

00:22:30in a moment.

00:22:31I have no time

00:22:34to play mad

00:22:36with you!

00:22:38Dropping these

00:22:39piercingly cold words,

00:22:41Ronian did not wait

00:22:42for me

00:22:43to utter another syllable

00:22:45before callously

00:22:47cutting off

00:22:47the soul transmission

00:22:48with a wave

00:22:49of his hand.

00:22:51The phantom projection

00:22:52in mid-air

00:22:53dissolved instantly

00:22:55and along with it,

00:22:56the very last shred

00:22:58of my hope

00:22:59was crushed

00:23:00to pieces.

00:23:03After the soul transmission

00:23:04was severed,

00:23:05Ronan stared

00:23:06at his empty palm,

00:23:07his brow frowned

00:23:08tightly together.

00:23:09Even though he utterly

00:23:09detested Serafina's

00:23:11jealous fits,

00:23:11he hearing a word

00:23:12like dying

00:23:13still caused a faint

00:23:14inexplicable wave

00:23:15of irritation

00:23:15and uneasiness

00:23:16to ripple through

00:23:17the depths of his heart.

00:23:18Vanessa,

00:23:19who was watching

00:23:19from the side,

00:23:21keenly captured

00:23:21the shift

00:23:22in Ronan's expression.

00:23:24A flash of panic

00:23:25crossed her eyes,

00:23:26but it was quickly

00:23:27replaced

00:23:28by a profound,

00:23:30calculating look.

00:23:31Vanessa stepped

00:23:31forward gently,

00:23:32considerably smoothing

00:23:33out the wrinkles

00:23:34on Ronan's groves

00:23:35as she spoke

00:23:36in a strained,

00:23:36high-pitched voice.

00:23:38Ronan,

00:23:39the primary mistress

00:23:39wept so heartbreakingly

00:23:41during the soul transmission.

00:23:42It has left my heart

00:23:42in a bit of a flutter as well.

00:23:44How about

00:23:45we go to the infirmary

00:23:46to take a look right now?

00:23:47After all,

00:23:48the little princess

00:23:49is also your flesh and blood.

00:23:51We absolutely mustn't

00:23:52let anything terrible happen.

00:23:54Seeing Vanessa

00:23:55being so magnanimous

00:23:56in understanding,

00:23:57the irritation

00:23:57in Ronan's heart

00:23:58dissipated quite a bit,

00:23:59and he nodded immediately.

00:24:01Very well.

00:24:03We will do as you say.

00:24:05I want to see

00:24:07what kind of trick

00:24:08she can fabric.

00:24:09Then I will go

00:24:10prepare some

00:24:10mona spring water

00:24:11to soothe the child's mind.

00:24:14Wait for me a moment.

00:24:15Vanessa turned around,

00:24:16and the moment

00:24:17she was at an angle

00:24:18where Ronan

00:24:18could not see her,

00:24:19the tenderness

00:24:19on her face

00:24:20stently transformed

00:24:21into a twisted,

00:24:22venomous malice.

00:24:23She did not go

00:24:24to prepare any spring water.

00:24:25Instead,

00:24:26she dispatched

00:24:27Trust Vicent

00:24:27carrying heavy gold

00:24:28mona crystals

00:24:29to secretly bribe

00:24:30the doctor

00:24:31who had received Iris.

00:24:32When Vanessa

00:24:33accompanied Ronan

00:24:34and arrived at the infirmary

00:24:35in a hurried rush,

00:24:36she took advantage

00:24:37of a gap

00:24:37while Ronan

00:24:38was speaking

00:24:38with the nurses outside,

00:24:40using the excuse

00:24:40of checking in,

00:24:42first to stealthily slip

00:24:43into the patient room

00:24:43ahead of him,

00:24:44entirely unnoticed.

00:24:46Staring at the infant

00:24:47on the hospital bed

00:24:48who was hanging onto life

00:24:49by a mere thread,

00:24:51the divine mark

00:24:52on her forehead

00:24:52flickering erratly.

00:24:54She ruthless gleam

00:24:55flashed through Vanessa's eye.

00:24:58She pulled an advanced,

00:25:00consecutive illusion potion

00:25:02from her sleeve,

00:25:03a formula capable

00:25:04of temporarily suppressing

00:25:06toxicity

00:25:06and forging

00:25:07a false appearance

00:25:09of health.

00:25:10Pinching the little

00:25:11princess' delicate neck,

00:25:12she poured the illusion potion

00:25:13down

00:25:14without the slightest hesitation.

00:25:16The instant the illusion potion

00:25:17entered her mouth,

00:25:19the sickly green,

00:25:20deathly energy

00:25:20on the little princess's face

00:25:22began to recede rapidly

00:25:23and the divine mark

00:25:25that was on the verge

00:25:26of cracking

00:25:27eerily smoothed over.

00:25:29Even her burning

00:25:30body temperature

00:25:31began to return to normal

00:25:32at a rapid pace.

00:25:34Aside from falling

00:25:35into a deep slumber,

00:25:36she looked exactly

00:25:37like a healthy infant

00:25:38who had merely

00:25:39caught an ordinary chill

00:25:40and was sleeping peacefully.

00:25:43The moment Ronan pushed

00:25:45open the door

00:25:45to the patient room,

00:25:46I was collapsed

00:25:48by the bedside,

00:25:49my eyes filled

00:25:50with absolute disbelief

00:25:51as I stared

00:25:52at my daughter.

00:25:53Just moments ago

00:25:54after Vanessa came in,

00:25:56under a false pretext,

00:25:58the deathly energy

00:25:59on Iris's face

00:26:00suddenly vanished.

00:26:01Even her shriveled,

00:26:03divine mark

00:26:04smoothed out.

00:26:06Ronan stepped forward

00:26:07with a freezing expression.

00:26:12He only touched

00:26:13her forehead.

00:26:16Irissa,

00:26:17her temperature

00:26:18was normal,

00:26:19her breathing

00:26:20was steady.

00:26:22Then he whipped

00:26:23his head around

00:26:24staring dead

00:26:25at my deathly

00:26:26pale face.

00:26:28His voice

00:26:29was sharp,

00:26:30cutting,

00:26:31and poisoned.

00:26:32Seraphana!

00:26:34This is the

00:26:34life-threatening danger

00:26:35you spoke of?

00:26:37This is the

00:26:38shattered core

00:26:39you claimed?

00:26:41Her temperature

00:26:42is normal,

00:26:43her breathing

00:26:44is steady.

00:26:45As the Lord's

00:26:46Concord,

00:26:47you dared

00:26:47to deceive me.

00:26:49Using your

00:26:50newborn daughter

00:26:51as bait

00:26:52for a jealous tantrum.

00:26:54You disgust me.

00:26:56Looking at

00:26:57his furious face,

00:26:58my entire body

00:26:59turned cold.

00:27:00No!

00:27:01Ronan,

00:27:02listen to me!

00:27:02Just moments ago

00:27:03she was not like this!

00:27:05It was Vanessa!

00:27:06She came in just now,

00:27:07she fed something

00:27:08to Modell!

00:27:09But Ronan

00:27:09did not believe me

00:27:10for even a second.

00:27:12So I turned

00:27:13to the doctor

00:27:14beside us

00:27:14as if he were

00:27:16my last saving straw.

00:27:18Doctor,

00:27:19speak up!

00:27:21You clearly

00:27:22told me

00:27:23had been struck

00:27:24by a forbidden

00:27:25poison.

00:27:25You said it was

00:27:26destroying her core

00:27:27and she would not

00:27:28survive half a month!

00:27:29But the doctor

00:27:30who had been pale

00:27:31with Tara moments ago

00:27:32had already accepted

00:27:33Vanessa's massive bribe.

00:27:35He did not dare

00:27:36look at me.

00:27:37Then,

00:27:37syllable by syllable,

00:27:39he pushed me

00:27:39into the abyss.

00:27:40Reporting to the Lord,

00:27:41the little princess

00:27:42merely caught a bit

00:27:43of a breeze,

00:27:43but there may be

00:27:44O double.

00:27:45It is only

00:27:45ordinary discomfort.

00:27:47The primary mistress

00:27:47is unsettled

00:27:48after childbirth,

00:27:49overly sensitive

00:27:50and blowing a small

00:27:50matter out of proportion.

00:27:51My entire world

00:27:52shattered like a bolt

00:27:53from Moments of Blue.

00:27:53How could it

00:27:53suddenly change?

00:27:55Watching me

00:27:56fall to the ground

00:27:57in a distrevelled,

00:27:58helpless state,

00:27:59Vanessa,

00:28:00hidden just behind

00:28:00Ronan,

00:28:01let a fleeting,

00:28:02venomous smile

00:28:03of triumph play

00:28:04on the corners

00:28:04of her lips.

00:28:05Then,

00:28:06stepping forward

00:28:07at the perfect moment,

00:28:08she submissively

00:28:09wrapped her arm

00:28:09aground Ronan's,

00:28:10practically melting

00:28:11half her body

00:28:12into his embrace.

00:28:13While casting

00:28:14feigned looks of pity

00:28:15at the little princess

00:28:16on the sickbed,

00:28:17she continuously

00:28:18blew poisonous whispers

00:28:19into Ronan's ear.

00:28:21Ronan,

00:28:21don't blame

00:28:22the primary mistress

00:28:23too much.

00:28:24Iris is a girl

00:28:25after all,

00:28:26born with a weak

00:28:27constitution.

00:28:28It is only natural

00:28:29she panicked

00:28:30when a minor chill

00:28:30threw the child

00:28:31into such a state.

00:28:33It's just,

00:28:34the primary mistress

00:28:35is far too sensitive.

00:28:37Always catching

00:28:38its shadows

00:28:39and blowing

00:28:40minor inconveniences

00:28:41entirely out of proportion.

00:28:43She looked up,

00:28:45her eyes brimming

00:28:45with tenderness

00:28:46and adoration.

00:28:47Jasper's succession

00:28:48ceremony is in

00:28:49just two days.

00:28:50That is the true

00:28:51matter of gravity

00:28:52for the kingdom's legacy.

00:28:53We cannot let

00:28:54Seraphina delay

00:28:55your proper business

00:28:56over these trivial

00:28:57backyard squabbles.

00:29:01Let us return

00:29:02to the main manor.

00:29:04We shouldn't let

00:29:05her hysteria ruin

00:29:06our precious time

00:29:06with Jasper.

00:29:11Ronan averted

00:29:12his eyes in disgust,

00:29:14refusing to grant

00:29:15even half a glance

00:29:16to his biological

00:29:16daughter on the sickbed.

00:29:18Vanessa,

00:29:19you are the one

00:29:19who is truly sensible.

00:29:21Come,

00:29:22let us return.

00:29:23And ignore

00:29:24this mad woman.

00:29:25If she wishes

00:29:26to stay here

00:29:27and make a spectacle

00:29:28of herself,

00:29:29let her be.

00:29:30Leaning triumphantly

00:29:31against Ronan,

00:29:32Vanessa accompanied him

00:29:33as he strode out

00:29:34of the infirmary.

00:29:35Only when the footsteps

00:29:36of the pair

00:29:37had completely faded,

00:29:38did the doctor,

00:29:39who had been kneeling

00:29:40on the ground,

00:29:41suddenly collapse

00:29:42in a heap.

00:29:43He scrambled

00:29:44on his hands

00:29:45and knees

00:29:45to my feet,

00:29:46cooting frantically

00:29:47while crying out

00:29:48in absolute despair.

00:29:50Your iris,

00:29:51primary mistress,

00:29:52please do not

00:29:53blame me.

00:29:55I deserve to die.

00:29:57I deserve to die.

00:29:59Why did you

00:29:59die just now?

00:30:01Madam Vanessa

00:30:01has officially

00:30:02moved into the

00:30:03Lord's main mansion

00:30:04with the heir

00:30:04and enjoys

00:30:05the Lord's

00:30:06absolute favor.

00:30:08She is the future

00:30:09primary mistress

00:30:10of the kingdom.

00:30:11Before the Lord

00:30:12entered just now,

00:30:13she pulled me aside

00:30:14and threatened

00:30:14that if I did not

00:30:15cooperate,

00:30:16she would take

00:30:16my entire family's

00:30:17lives tonight

00:30:17and even have

00:30:18the Lord take my head.

00:30:19She would truly kill me.

00:30:20Listening to the

00:30:20doctor's desperate wails,

00:30:21I looked at my daughter

00:30:22on the sickbed,

00:30:23whose condition

00:30:23was forcibly masked

00:30:24as peaceful

00:30:25by the illusion

00:30:25of poison.

00:30:26Ronan,

00:30:26to cater to your

00:30:27first love,

00:30:28you personally

00:30:28abandoned the

00:30:29sole opportunity

00:30:29to save your

00:30:30biological daughter.

00:30:31You will live

00:30:32to regret this.

00:30:36Three days later,

00:30:38Elid spared no expense,

00:30:40utilizing over half

00:30:41of the Wind Kingdom's

00:30:42treasury to organize

00:30:43an incredibly

00:30:44extravagant dawn trial

00:30:46for three-year-old

00:30:47Jasper.

00:30:48The streets of the

00:30:49main city

00:30:50were carpeted

00:30:51with sacred

00:30:52florensic petals,

00:30:53and they went

00:30:54so far

00:30:55as to exceptionally

00:30:57tame nine

00:30:57pure white

00:30:58unicorns

00:30:59to draw a crystal

00:31:02invented float

00:31:04in a high-profile

00:31:05parade across

00:31:06the territory.

00:31:09As Vanessa held

00:31:10the hand

00:31:11of a magnificently

00:31:12dressed Jasper,

00:31:13his delicate

00:31:14little elven wings

00:31:16fluttering,

00:31:17and ascended

00:31:18the float,

00:31:19waves of

00:31:20deafening cheers

00:31:21erupted across

00:31:22the skies of

00:31:23the Wind Kingdom.

00:31:24Meanwhile,

00:31:25in a dark corner

00:31:25of the Grand Hall,

00:31:27I cradled my

00:31:27daughter,

00:31:28whose life force

00:31:29was growing fainter

00:31:30by the moment,

00:31:31watching this absurd

00:31:32fast with cold

00:31:33detachment.

00:31:34Without the Lord's

00:31:35explicit permission,

00:31:36my daughter and I

00:31:37lacked even the

00:31:38right to enter

00:31:39the main hall,

00:31:42forced to stand

00:31:43in the freezing

00:31:44wind of the

00:31:44outer gallery.

00:31:46Just then,

00:31:47Vanessa,

00:31:47basking in the

00:31:48adoration atop

00:31:49the float,

00:31:50spotted my figure

00:31:51from afar.

00:31:52With a flicker

00:31:52in her eyes,

00:31:53she intentionally

00:31:54walked towards me

00:31:55with a smug smile.

00:31:57Covering her mouth

00:31:57with a handkerchief,

00:31:58she let out a

00:31:59feigned sigh of

00:32:00self-reploach,

00:32:01though her eyes

00:32:02were filled with

00:32:02condescending charity.

00:32:04Sister,

00:32:05do not blame

00:32:06Mother and Ronin

00:32:07for being heartless.

00:32:08The Withered Tower

00:32:09is peaceful,

00:32:09making it the

00:32:10perfect place

00:32:11for your magic-deficient

00:32:12daughter to recuperate.

00:32:13Today is our

00:32:14Jasper's Succession

00:32:15celebration.

00:32:16You shouldn't have

00:32:16brought her out

00:32:17in the first place.

00:32:17Look at her.

00:32:19Even her divine mark

00:32:19is on the verge

00:32:20of dispersing.

00:32:22We must not

00:32:23let her clash

00:32:23with Jasper's

00:32:24unicorn fortune

00:32:25after today.

00:32:27Jasper will be

00:32:28the rightful first heir,

00:32:29while you,

00:32:30the primary mistress,

00:32:31are fit only

00:32:32to watch us

00:32:32ascend to the peak

00:32:33from the mud

00:32:34for the rest

00:32:34of your life!

00:32:35While Vanessa

00:32:36subjected me

00:32:36to endless mockery,

00:32:38the parade reached

00:32:38its absolute climax.

00:32:41Clad in a

00:32:42magnificent silver-white

00:32:43robe,

00:32:43a commanding

00:32:44and majestic

00:32:45Ronin ascended

00:32:46the central divine

00:32:47altar under the gaze

00:32:48of the masses.

00:32:49Raising his hands,

00:32:50he used amplification

00:32:52magic to declare

00:32:53to the entire field

00:32:54his voice echoing

00:32:55through the heavens,

00:32:57arrogant and ecstatic.

00:32:58Today is not only

00:33:00the celebratory feast,

00:33:01establishing my son

00:33:02Jasper's status

00:33:03as heir,

00:33:04but the starting point

00:33:05for our wind kingdom

00:33:06to march towards

00:33:07the peak of all kingdoms!

00:33:09I officially announce

00:33:10here that we are

00:33:11exerting every effort

00:33:12to secure multiple

00:33:13major cooperations

00:33:14with the mysterious

00:33:15and supreme

00:33:16High Elven King

00:33:17of the Sanctuary!

00:33:19I couldn't help

00:33:19but laugh.

00:33:20The supreme High Elven King

00:33:21they were so desperately

00:33:22trying to fawn over?

00:33:23That's my father.

00:33:24It's time for me

00:33:25to turn the tables.

00:33:27The moment

00:33:28these words

00:33:29were spoken,

00:33:31a massive uproar

00:33:32rippled through

00:33:33the crowd.

00:33:35The High Elven King

00:33:36was the supreme ruler

00:33:37of the entire

00:33:39Elven world.

00:33:41A god-like existence.

00:33:44If they could obtain

00:33:45even a shred

00:33:46of that lord's favor,

00:33:47the Wind Kingdom

00:33:48could instantly ascend

00:33:50into the ranks

00:33:50of the super kingdoms.

00:33:53Ronan's face

00:33:53was flushed

00:33:54with absolute pride,

00:33:55his features

00:33:56bearing an unmaskable

00:33:57arrogance.

00:34:00As he turned

00:34:00an affectionate gaze

00:34:01to Vanessa and Jasper.

00:34:05Once this cooperation

00:34:06is finalized,

00:34:07Jasper will not only

00:34:08be the king

00:34:09of the Wind Kingdom,

00:34:12but the most noble

00:34:14young commander

00:34:14of the future sanctuary!

00:34:16I shall use

00:34:17the eternal prosperity

00:34:19of the supreme sanctuary

00:34:20to make up

00:34:22for the greegious

00:34:23Vanessa

00:34:23and her son

00:34:25suffered

00:34:25over the past

00:34:27three years!

00:34:29Vanessa cast

00:34:30a provocative glance

00:34:30at me,

00:34:32her eyes brimming

00:34:32with ostentatience

00:34:33and disdain.

00:34:35Ronan's gaze toward me

00:34:36was also filled

00:34:36with ultimate coldness,

00:34:38as if mocking

00:34:39my instant

00:34:40magnificence

00:34:41and incompetence.

00:34:42However,

00:34:42watching Ronan's

00:34:43self-righteous declaration,

00:34:44I felt not a single

00:34:46shred of anger.

00:34:48Instead,

00:34:48I lowered my head

00:34:49and gently kissed

00:34:50the suppressed divine mark

00:34:52on my daughter's forehead.

00:34:53The sole direct bloodline

00:34:55of the High Elven King

00:34:57is,

00:34:58at this very moment,

00:35:00lying within

00:35:01the swaddling clothes

00:35:02you have dismissed

00:35:04as worthless garbage.

00:35:08Ronan,

00:35:09Vanessa,

00:35:10the supreme divinity

00:35:12you are scheming

00:35:12to please

00:35:13by any means necessary

00:35:15is the very person

00:35:17you have personally

00:35:18pushed into the abyss

00:35:20and trampled upon

00:35:21in every way.

00:35:22Me.

00:35:23The corners of my lips

00:35:24firved into an icy arc

00:35:26and the suppressed rage

00:35:28and hatred in my heart

00:35:28transformed into

00:35:30the most ruthless

00:35:31anticipation

00:35:31at this moment.

00:35:34Wind Kingdom,

00:35:35the final revelry

00:35:36of your lives

00:35:38ends here.

00:35:43After a few days

00:35:44of revelry,

00:35:45the disguise

00:35:46of the illusion potion

00:35:47finally collapsed

00:35:48like a castle of sand.

00:35:51Lying on the stone bed

00:35:52of the withered tower,

00:35:54the toxins

00:35:54within my daughter's body

00:35:55broke past all restraint,

00:35:57erupting violently.

00:35:58She fell

00:35:59into a prolonged coma,

00:36:01her tiny body

00:36:02burning with a terrifying fever.

00:36:04Her lips cracked and pale,

00:36:05her breathing

00:36:06reduced to a flickering

00:36:07candle in the wind.

00:36:11liable to extinguish

00:36:12at any moment.

00:36:14I knelt by the bedside,

00:36:16my magic entirely dried up,

00:36:18leaving me helpless

00:36:19as I pressed my cheek

00:36:21against her icy little hand.

00:36:24My tears long since dried.

00:36:26Just as I was on the verge

00:36:28of despairing unto death,

00:36:30the wooden door

00:36:30of the high tower

00:36:31was suddenly pushed open

00:36:33in a frenzy.

00:36:34The Wind Kingdom doctor

00:36:35burst in,

00:36:36dripping with sweat,

00:36:38his eyes a tangled mess

00:36:39of guilt and terror.

00:36:41With trembling hands,

00:36:42he presented a crystal bottle,

00:36:45radiating a warm,

00:36:46sacred golden light

00:36:47like the midday sun.

00:36:49This medicine

00:36:50can neutralize all poisons,

00:36:52save those on the brink of death,

00:36:53and immensely nourish

00:36:55the bloodline

00:36:55of an elven babe.

00:36:57Please,

00:36:57feed it to the little princess quickly.

00:36:59This is her sole path

00:37:00to survival.

00:37:01Staring at that ball

00:37:02of sacred golden light,

00:37:03my deadened heart

00:37:04began to beat frantically.

00:37:05I snatched

00:37:06the spiritual medicine,

00:37:07clutching it tightly

00:37:08to my chest,

00:37:09my heart overflowing

00:37:10with joy

00:37:10as I believed

00:37:11my daughter

00:37:11was finally saved.

00:37:13Trembling,

00:37:14I pulled the cork,

00:37:15preparing to feed

00:37:17this life-saving drop

00:37:18into my daughter's mouth.

00:37:20When the tower door

00:37:21was violently blown open

00:37:22with a resounding clash,

00:37:24a wild wind rushed in

00:37:26as Alina,

00:37:27flanked by her attendants,

00:37:29strode in

00:37:30with a majestic

00:37:30yet greedy expression.

00:37:32Before I could even react,

00:37:33she ruthlessly snatched

00:37:35the crystal bottle

00:37:36right out of my hands.

00:37:40Illion gripped the flask

00:37:42of sacred tree extract tightly.

00:37:43Feeling the boundless

00:37:45sacred energy swirling within,

00:37:46a fanatical greed

00:37:47erupted in her eyes.

00:37:49Give it back to me!

00:37:51That is Iris'

00:37:52life-saving medicine!

00:37:53I lunged forward

00:37:54like a madman

00:37:55to reclaim the medicine.

00:37:56Give it back!

00:37:58Only to be ruthlessly

00:37:59pinned to the ground

00:38:00by two high-tier guards

00:38:02using their magical staffs.

00:38:04My knees slammed

00:38:05against the hard stone tiles,

00:38:07emitting a sickening crack.

00:38:09Following closely behind,

00:38:11Ronan looked down at me

00:38:12with cold detachment,

00:38:14devoid of any pity.

00:38:16Alayda trembled

00:38:17with excitement,

00:38:18refusing to grant

00:38:19even a single glance

00:38:20to the dying daughter

00:38:21on the sickbed,

00:38:22her mind and heart

00:38:23entirely occupied

00:38:24by her precious

00:38:25eldest grandson.

00:38:26Roran!

00:38:27Look at this!

00:38:28This is the legendary

00:38:28sacred tree extract!

00:38:30Though three-year-old Jasper

00:38:31is extraordinarily gifted,

00:38:33his skeletal frame

00:38:34hasn't fully matured yet.

00:38:36If we let him drink

00:38:37this divine item,

00:38:38his wind magic

00:38:39will undergo

00:38:39a complete metamorphosis,

00:38:41allowing him to grow

00:38:42taller and more powerful

00:38:43than any peer,

00:38:44entirely solidifying

00:38:46his position

00:38:47as the first heir

00:38:48under the kingdom's spotlight.

00:38:50Mother is correct.

00:38:52Leaving such a bloodline

00:38:54treasure in the

00:38:54withered tower

00:38:55would be an utter waste

00:38:56of a divine gift.

00:38:58Only Jasper

00:38:59is worthy

00:39:00of enjoying it.

00:39:01Vanessa walked in

00:39:02at that moment

00:39:02carrying three-year-old Jasper,

00:39:04looking at me

00:39:05pinned to the ground

00:39:05by the guards,

00:39:06coughing up blood

00:39:07in a disheveled state.

00:39:08The triumph and amusement

00:39:09in her eyes

00:39:10threatened to spill over.

00:39:11The three of them

00:39:12huddled together,

00:39:13admiring the item

00:39:14as if inspecting

00:39:14a supreme treasure

00:39:15filled with praises,

00:39:17while I could only

00:39:17watch helplessly

00:39:18as the saving straw

00:39:20belonged to my daughter

00:39:21was stripped away

00:39:22completely.

00:39:24Amid my agonized weeping,

00:39:26that priceless flask

00:39:27of sacred tree extract

00:39:28was gently

00:39:30yet forcefully poured

00:39:31into the mouth

00:39:32of the perfectly

00:39:33lival Jasper

00:39:34by Eladid.

00:39:35The moment

00:39:36the divine item

00:39:37entered his mouth,

00:39:38a blinding golden current

00:39:40erupted across

00:39:40Jasper's body.

00:39:42Not only did his

00:39:42wind attribute magic

00:39:43surge instantly,

00:39:45but his height

00:39:45even seemed to increase

00:39:47slightly.

00:39:48The three-year-old toddler

00:39:50excitedly brashed

00:39:51at his magic

00:39:51in the hall,

00:39:52while Ronan and Vanessa

00:39:53surrounded him,

00:39:54letting out waves

00:39:55of absolute delight.

00:39:57The happier their laughter,

00:39:59the more shattered

00:40:00my heart became.

00:40:01Ronan looked down

00:40:02upon me as I lay

00:40:03limp on the ground,

00:40:04his cold words

00:40:05cutting like blades.

00:40:07Seraphina,

00:40:08cease your weeping here.

00:40:10Jasper is the future

00:40:11hope of the kingdom.

00:40:13Giving this medicine

00:40:14to him ensures

00:40:14it is put to its

00:40:15proper use.

00:40:16As for Iris,

00:40:18it has been said

00:40:19she merely has

00:40:20a common chill.

00:40:22It is not worth

00:40:23delaying proper business

00:40:25over her,

00:40:25and she certainly

00:40:26does not deserve

00:40:27a divine object

00:40:28like the sacred tree extract.

00:40:30Flicking his sleeves,

00:40:31Ronan turned

00:40:32and left heartlessly,

00:40:33taking the room's

00:40:34laughter with him.

00:40:35When they departed

00:40:36entirely,

00:40:37the tower plunged

00:40:39back into a

00:40:39deathly silence.

00:40:41I crawled to the bedside,

00:40:43looking at my

00:40:43empty hands,

00:40:45and then at my daughter,

00:40:46whose core was withering,

00:40:48as she spit out

00:40:49another mouthful

00:40:49of black blood

00:40:50from the poison

00:40:51gripping her heart.

00:40:52My daughter opened

00:40:53her eyes weakly,

00:40:54rubbing against my palm

00:40:55with a touch of attachment

00:40:56before sinking entirely

00:40:57into a deathly coldness.

00:40:59Slowly raising

00:41:00my right hand,

00:41:01I spared no cost

00:41:03to force out

00:41:04the final drop

00:41:05of supreme golden blood

00:41:06from my heart,

00:41:07drawing a sacred

00:41:08golden-winged armor

00:41:10in the void.

00:41:11Through the array,

00:41:12a connection

00:41:13was instantly forged

00:41:14to the deepest depths

00:41:16of the sanctuary,

00:41:17unleashing a supreme pressure

00:41:18that made all kingdoms tremble.

00:41:20My daughter,

00:41:21you are finally willing

00:41:22to contact your father.

00:41:24You have suffered

00:41:25these past three years.

00:41:26Cradling the icy form

00:41:27tightly in my arms,

00:41:28tears of blood

00:41:29tracing down my face.

00:41:30My voice was completely calm,

00:41:31devoid of a single ripple

00:41:32has been from emotion.

00:41:33My daughter is dying.

00:41:34Please open the gates

00:41:35of the sanctuary

00:41:35and take us mother and daughter

00:41:37home.

00:41:38The supreme array

00:41:39faded into the air,

00:41:41and forcing my dying,

00:41:42battered body forward,

00:41:44I carried my daughter

00:41:45out of the withered tower.

00:41:46My daughter's fragile form

00:41:48barely clung to life.

00:41:50Without disturbing anyone,

00:41:51I walked step by step

00:41:53to the center of the territory,

00:41:55stopping before the tree of life.

00:41:57Then I was well beroed of

00:41:59to stand into the

00:41:59Yuhu-Maiyan number stool.

00:42:02Swearing by the supreme bloodline,

00:42:04I sever the covenant

00:42:05and erase my holy name

00:42:08here today.

00:42:12Inside the main manor,

00:42:15Ronan felt a sudden,

00:42:17violent spasm of pain

00:42:18strike his chest.

00:42:21Ronan,

00:42:22three years of marital devotion

00:42:24has been personally severed

00:42:25by your hand today.

00:42:26The trampling you granted me

00:42:27I have accepted.

00:42:28From this day forward,

00:42:29we shall not meet again

00:42:30in life nor death.

00:42:31Serafina,

00:42:32what madness are you throwing now

00:42:34over such a trivial matter

00:42:35you would go so far

00:42:36as to harm your own body

00:42:37to forge a fortune backlash.

00:42:38I have no time to play

00:42:40these cat and mouse games with you.

00:42:41If you have the ability to leave,

00:42:43then ensure you never return.

00:42:46Serafina has simply been spoiled by you.

00:42:48In a couple of days,

00:42:50once she has suffered enough outside,

00:42:52she will naturally come back

00:42:53begging on her knees.

00:42:55Let us ignore her.

00:42:57That night,

00:42:59the entire main manor

00:43:01of the Wind Kingdom

00:43:02was brightly lit

00:43:04and adorned with festive decorations.

00:43:07To celebrate three-year-old Jasper,

00:43:09consuming the sacred tree extract

00:43:11and experiencing a surge in magic,

00:43:14Aline ordered an all-night festival

00:43:16of music and dance.

00:43:19Inside the magnificent main hall,

00:43:21the aroma of fine wine filled the air

00:43:23as countless high-tier elves

00:43:25raised their glasses in unison,

00:43:26surrounding Vanessa and her son

00:43:28at the center

00:43:28with absolute flattery

00:43:30and obdaciousness.

00:43:31Ronan sat upon his throne,

00:43:33looking at his triumphant eldest son,

00:43:36his eyes filled with pride

00:43:38and certainty

00:43:39that the kingdom was about to ascend

00:43:41to the peak of all kingdoms.

00:43:44The hypocritical and fanatical cheers

00:43:47echoed through the night sky,

00:43:49transforming the entire temple

00:43:51into a city that never slept.

00:43:53Yet no one noticed

00:43:54that on the desolate path

00:43:56at the outmost edge

00:43:57of the main city,

00:43:58leading towards the Forbidden Forest,

00:44:00a slender and resolute figure

00:44:02was carrying a sweatling cloth,

00:44:04stepping into the boundless curtain of night.

00:44:06The freezing rain slammed down mercisely.

00:44:08Serafina's face was deathly still,

00:44:09but her hands held the daughter in her arms

00:44:11with absolute tightness.

00:44:13Iris's breathing within the cloth was faint,

00:44:15her tiny body gradually turning stirby and cold.

00:44:18Serafina did not cast a single glance back

00:44:20at the false prosperity

00:44:21of the Wind Kingdom behind her.

00:44:22Her eyes held no more tears,

00:44:24only an indifference

00:44:25that chilled to the bone.

00:44:27The singing and dancing

00:44:28inside the main hall continued,

00:44:30and Ronan was smiling

00:44:30as he accepted the fine wine

00:44:32handed to him by Vanessa.

00:44:33At that exact instant,

00:44:34deep within the dark forest far away,

00:44:36the violent cold wind

00:44:37came to an abrupt halt without warning.

00:44:39A sliver of incredibly noble,

00:44:40sacred and tore through

00:44:41the darkness of the polar night.

00:44:42The frame foes at the edge

00:44:43of the dark, silent forest.

00:44:45The sounds of the Wind Kingdom's

00:44:46celebratory songs and laugh

00:44:48still echoed faintly,

00:44:49but the moment the mother and girl's

00:44:50slender yet matchlessly noble fears

00:44:52that sliver of golden light,

00:44:53they instantly transformed

00:44:54into a remnant gleam,

00:44:56vanishing completely

00:44:57into the endless night.

00:44:59The sacred light erupted outward

00:45:01at the center of the royal hall

00:45:03in the supreme sanctuary,

00:45:05holding my daughter,

00:45:05who had practically stopped breathing.

00:45:07I finally collapsed onto my knees

00:45:10against the flawless white jade floor tiles,

00:45:12my strength entirely spent.

00:45:14My long hair was soaked through

00:45:15by the territious rain sticking messily

00:45:17to my deathly pale cheeks.

00:45:18The weakness of post-parting recovery,

00:45:19comboled with the trauma

00:45:20of forcibly reversing my source power,

00:45:22caused me to leave a striking trail

00:45:24of blood with every step.

00:45:25Sitting high upon his throne,

00:45:26my father rose abruptly.

00:45:27When he clearly saw my broken state

00:45:29at the bottom of the steps,

00:45:30his majestic noble face,

00:45:32which had 10,000 years of history,

00:45:33trembled violently with immense shock

00:45:35and heartache.

00:45:36Moving like a blur,

00:45:38he materialized by my side in an instant,

00:45:40his hands shaking

00:45:41as he tried to lift me up.

00:45:43My daughter!

00:45:44How did you become like this?

00:45:48Your supreme magic,

00:45:50which even 10,000 kingdoms look up to,

00:45:52why has it withered to such an extent?

00:45:56I slowly raised my head.

00:45:58The tears of blood at the corners of my eye

00:46:00long since dried.

00:46:01I did not cry out.

00:46:02I merely used the final shred of strength

00:46:03in my body to tremblingly present

00:46:05the swaddling cloth to my father.

00:46:06Father, save her.

00:46:08She is Ronin's biological flesh and blood,

00:46:11yet they dismissed her as a lowly wretch.

00:46:13To steal her life-saving medicine,

00:46:15they fed my iris-forbidden illusion potions

00:46:17to forcibly mask the truth.

00:46:19She has been poisoned with soul-eating grass,

00:46:21and her magic core is on the verge of shattering.

00:46:23My father took the tiny swaddling cloth

00:46:25with trembling hands.

00:46:27When his divine scent swept

00:46:28across his granddaughter's battered natural core,

00:46:30which was being ravenously consumed by the poison,

00:46:33this supreme gaiety,

00:46:34who ruled over the entire sanctuary,

00:46:36felt his eyes turn instantly bloodluck,

00:46:38immediately following a terrifying,

00:46:41world-destroying pressure erupted violently from his body.

00:46:47In an instant,

00:46:49the skies above the entire supreme sanctuary

00:46:51shifted dramatically

00:46:52as the once bright heavens were enveloped

00:46:54by rolling black clouds and violent thunderbolts.

00:46:56The ancient vines surrounding the royal hall,

00:46:58which had flourished for tens of thousands of years,

00:47:00seemed to feel the king's ultimate fury,

00:47:02trembling wildly and thrashing against the ground

00:47:05as the entire sacred mountain shook violently

00:47:07under the divine rage.

00:47:09My father raised his right hand high,

00:47:10the destructive divine lightning

00:47:12flashing frankly at his fingertips.

00:47:13He stared dead at his dying granddaughter

00:47:15within the cloth,

00:47:16his gnashing words wrapped in supreme divine authority

00:47:19as they echoed through heaven and earth.

00:47:21The Wind Kingdom?

00:47:22Ronan!

00:47:23You ants dare to torture my only daughter

00:47:26in such a manner

00:47:26and strike ruthlessly against my newborn granddaughter.

00:47:29Pass down my dissension pathways,

00:47:31the Wind Kingdom!

00:47:32Whosoever dares harm my grawish,

00:47:34I shall demand their entire kingdom

00:47:35accompany her in death!

00:47:38To rescue Iris from the brink of death,

00:47:40my father did not hesitate for a moment,

00:47:43immediately ordering the opening

00:47:44of the life core of the ancient sacred tree

00:47:46that had lived for 100,000 years

00:47:48within the forbidden grounds.

00:47:50This was the energy source

00:47:52of the entire elfin world,

00:47:54a place where even the high priests of the sanctuary

00:47:57had no right to approach normally.

00:47:59Yet it was fully open today for my daughter.

00:48:02Every top holy tier healer within the sanctuary

00:48:05was assembled overnight.

00:48:12The golden life core floated gently above the sickbed,

00:48:15radiating a soft, vast, and ocean-like purity of magic.

00:48:17A canopy of brilliant golden light

00:48:19wrapped around Iris' tiny body layer by layer,

00:48:22like a coon nourished by this immense life force.

00:48:24The faint golden divine mark on Iris' forehead,

00:48:27which had been nearly cracked and extinguished,

00:48:30finally flickered with a weak resonance

00:48:32under the caress of the divine light.

00:48:34I kept watch by the bedside,

00:48:36my face pale,

00:48:38never leaving her side for a single pace.

00:48:40I watched with my own eyes

00:48:42as those holy gris healers

00:48:43transformed secret medicines into golden needles,

00:48:46extracting the stubborn soul-eating grease poison

00:48:48from my daughter's body,

00:48:49inch by inch.

00:48:51Every time that the poison was forced out,

00:48:53my daughter would let our faint,

00:48:55kitten-like whipper of pain,

00:48:56and those drops of black, toxic blood

00:48:58would instantly corrode scorched hole

00:49:00into the pure white sheets upon hitting them.

00:49:03My daughter,

00:49:04watching her suffer,

00:49:06tore at my heart

00:49:06as if it were being cut by ten thousand blades.

00:49:09Ronan,

00:49:10Vanessa,

00:49:10the pain you inflicted upon my child,

00:49:12I will ensure you repaid a thousand times.

00:49:14It was a grueling two days and nights

00:49:17of hovering between

00:49:19life and death.

00:49:21As the first ray of the sanctuary's warm morning sun

00:49:24pierced through the window frame on the third day,

00:49:27Iris suddenly let out a resounding cry from the bed.

00:49:30That cry was no longer weak

00:49:32and filled with despair like before,

00:49:34but brimming with the strength of a new life.

00:49:37The golden divine mark on her forehead

00:49:39restored completely,

00:49:40and her once pale little face

00:49:42began to flush with color,

00:49:43her skin radiating a healthy glow.

00:49:46Congratulations, king!

00:49:47Congratulations, holy princess!

00:49:48The virilest poison within the little princess's body

00:49:51has completely dissolved.

00:49:52Not only is her life secured,

00:49:53but her bloodline has completely awa-

00:49:54Looking at my daughter's face

00:49:55as she clenched her tiny fists in blue bubbles,

00:49:58the tears I had suppressed for three long years

00:50:00finally broke through the floodgates.

00:50:03The morning sun spilled across the luxurious couch,

00:50:06but Vanessa was gently helping Ronan into his robes.

00:50:09However, Ronan's brow was furrowed tightly,

00:50:11his handsome face clouded with undeniable irritation and gloom.

00:50:14Right then, a panic-starting bell rang out

00:50:16from outside the main temple.

00:50:17Several elders scrambled into the hall,

00:50:19their faces as white as sheets.

00:50:20Lord, disaster has struck!

00:50:22The soldiers guarding the ascension platform

00:50:23just reported that our kingdom's passage to the sanctuary

00:50:26has been violently locked from above

00:50:28by an unspeakable supreme divine authority!

00:50:31The gates of the divine realm are closed to us!

00:50:44In that instant, the image of Serafina's cold, ruthless phantom

00:50:48before her departure flashed through his mind,

00:50:51and his heart sank.

00:50:52Could it be...

00:50:54Serafina?

00:50:55But the moment the thought arose,

00:50:56it was instantly crushed by the deep-rooted arrogance in his heart.

00:51:00He let out a cold, self-decricketing laugh.

00:51:03Serafina was nothing more than a lowly woman with no background,

00:51:06inferior even to a low-tier elf of the Windsuary

00:51:08that happened to affect their kingdom.

00:51:11Seeing his distress,

00:51:13Vanessa quickly moved closer,

00:51:15wrapping her arms around his to comfort him, teasingly.

00:51:20Exactly, Lord.

00:51:21Sister ran away in a tantrum,

00:51:23and is probably hiding in some inn

00:51:25using that sickly brat to threaten you until you soften.

00:51:28How could she possibly have the power to lock the ascension platform?

00:51:34Ronan pressed his throbbing temples.

00:51:36A strange sensation of losing his kingdom's fortune

00:51:39made him increasingly restless.

00:51:41Pushing Vanessa away,

00:51:42he strode toward the Covenant Temple with a dark expression.

00:51:47However, the moment Ronan stepped into the Covenant Temple,

00:51:50the priest on duty collapsed to the floor in sheer terror,

00:51:53his face deathly pale.

00:51:55What are you panicking for?

00:51:56Bring out the Covenant Jade plaques for Serafina and the infant.

00:51:59I want to see where they are hiding and laughing at me!

00:52:01My lord, spare my life!

00:52:04They cannot be brought out!

00:52:06Just three days ago,

00:52:07the primary mistress covenant mark under the Tree of Life

00:52:10was forcibly erased!

00:52:13What did you say?

00:52:15Forcibly erased?

00:52:16Not only is it gone,

00:52:18but the mother and daughter used an ancient secret ritual

00:52:20to completely delete all their holy names from the elfin race.

00:52:24Half of the Tree of Life has withered.

00:52:25I used every tracking method available,

00:52:27but they are all untraceable.

00:52:29They have completely severed their bloodline

00:52:31and connection with the Wind Kingdom.

00:52:33Well played, Serafina!

00:52:35To resort to such a self-harming, despicable trick

00:52:39as deleting your holy name.

00:52:41Do you think you can escape just by doing that?

00:52:43I want to see how many days you can last out there

00:52:46with your dying daughter without the protection of the Wind Kingdom.

00:52:51Watching her daughter sleep peacefully in the divine light of the sacred tree,

00:52:56Serafina slowly stood up.

00:52:57The mole that tended as she turned to vanished from her eyes,

00:53:00replaced by a bottomless coldness and resolve.

00:53:03Father, I was too foolish in the past

00:53:05to repay a trivial mortal deed.

00:53:07I degraded myself to cater to a blind, cold-blooded mortal.

00:53:11In return, they trampled all over me

00:53:13and nearly caused my daughter's death!

00:53:15She raised her hand, slicing through the air like a blade.

00:53:18As an invisible emotional barrier shattered,

00:53:21the painful memories of her humiliation,

00:53:24Ronan's neglect,

00:53:25and Vanessa's framing in the Wind Kingdom

00:53:27were sealed deep within her heart.

00:53:29From this day forward,

00:53:31the lowly, submissive consort of the Wind Kingdom

00:53:33no longer exists

00:53:34to ensure we are never trampled on again

00:53:36and to control my daughter's destiny.

00:53:38I willingly accept the royal bloodline baptism!

00:53:41Looking at his daughter,

00:53:42whose gaze had become as sharp as a hawk,

00:53:44the high-elvel king felt a surge of relief and pride.

00:53:47He immediately gave his stern approval.

00:53:49Half an hour later,

00:53:50the gates to the sanctuary's core Forbidden Grounds swung open.

00:53:52This was the sacred training pool

00:53:53exclusive to the heirs of the Supreme Royal Family,

00:53:55filled with primeval Priyadan magic

00:53:57accumulated over 10,000 years,

00:53:59and to an ordinary high elf

00:54:00would explode and die from touching even a single drop,

00:54:02and to enduring the agonizing pain

00:54:04of a complete bone-shattering transcendent.

00:54:06Without any hesitation,

00:54:07under the Averstec gaze of 10,000 pure-blooded elven guards,

00:54:11Seraphina stepped relutely into the terrifying,

00:54:13surging sacred pool,

00:54:14clad in a simple white robe.

00:54:16Boom!

00:54:17The moment her body was completely submerged,

00:54:19the ancient magic erupted,

00:54:20unleashing towering golden waves.

00:54:22The violent Propezzanard energy

00:54:23slashed through her Mipicrians and bones

00:54:25like countless blades.

00:54:26Yet, she did not even flinch.

00:54:27The nine sore seals she had plissioned herself

00:54:29to repay her debt to Ronion

00:54:30began to shatter and unravel,

00:54:32completely awakening her to dormant power

00:54:33under the furious onslaught.

00:54:35Smash!

00:54:36Ronin shattered his communication array

00:54:38for the 12th time.

00:54:40Every time he tried to connect with Seraphina

00:54:42through a soul transmission,

00:54:43he was met with nothing but a cold, empty echo,

00:54:46and the piercing pain of magical backlash.

00:54:48His frustration reached its peep

00:54:50as a suffocating panic of losing control

00:54:52gripped his throat.

00:54:53Just then,

00:54:55the hall doors pushed open,

00:54:56and Vanessa walked in smiling,

00:54:58holding three-year-old Jasper by the hand.

00:55:12Ronin turned his irritated gaze onto Jasper,

00:55:15who was shouting and playing with a toy.

00:55:17But as he looked,

00:55:18his breath caught.

00:55:19Whether it was due to the sudden loss

00:55:21of his kingdom's fortune,

00:55:22looking at Jasper's arrogant and brash face

00:55:25felt unprecedentedly discordal.

00:55:27The child's features lacked even a trace

00:55:28of the Wind Kingdom royal family's elegance,

00:55:31showing instead a crude vulgarity.

00:55:33What terrified him most

00:55:34was that the wind-attributed magic

00:55:35to radiating from Jasper was crose and wild,

00:55:38sharing absolutely no bloodline resonance,

00:55:40with the pure biting royal bloodline

00:55:42in his own body.

00:55:44When Vanessa gave birth to the child

00:55:46outside years ago,

00:55:47crying that she had been hunted by enemies

00:55:49and forced to wander,

00:55:51Ronin pitied her

00:55:52and never questioned the bloodline.

00:55:54But now...

00:55:58Ronin,

00:55:59why are you looking at Jasper like that?

00:56:03Did he do something wrong?

00:56:05Rokon stared dead

00:56:06at the flash of panic in Vanessa's eyes.

00:56:08His hands clenched tightly beneath his robes

00:56:10as something shattered within his heart.

00:56:11Taking a deep breath

00:56:12to suppress his immense suspicion,

00:56:14he put on a cold disguise.

00:56:15It is nothing.

00:56:17I am simply tired.

00:56:18You may leave.

00:56:19The moment the doors closed,

00:56:21Ronin's eyes turned incredibly sinister.

00:56:24He looked toward the empty air

00:56:25and gave a ruthless command.

00:56:26Someone,

00:56:27bring out the royal family's

00:56:28most secretive bloodline apriation,

00:56:30Arapis.

00:56:30Remember,

00:56:31prepare it in secret.

00:56:33Find an opportunity to gather

00:56:34Jasper's hair and finger blood later.

00:56:37Vanessa must not know

00:56:38a single thing about this.

00:56:39If I find

00:56:40that his bloodline does not match,

00:56:42I will ensure them die

00:56:44without a burial place!

00:56:47Meanwhile,

00:56:48in the sanctuary,

00:56:49around the forbidden sacred pool grounds,

00:56:5010,000 pure-blood high elven generals,

00:56:53high priests,

00:56:53and gradually cards of the divine king

00:56:55knelt across the mountains.

00:56:56Everyone held their breath,

00:56:57looking up at the gradually calming

00:56:58sacred pool in awe.

00:56:59Suddenly,

00:57:00faint golden ripple

00:57:01carrying supreme authority

00:57:02spread from the center of the pool.

00:57:04A graceful noble figure

00:57:05slowly rose from the center of the water.

00:57:07Seraphina's postpartum weakness

00:57:08and plast were entirely gone.

00:57:10Her skin shone like flawless white jade,

00:57:13flowing with a sacred light,

00:57:14and her once withered long hair

00:57:15turned into a dazzling golden color,

00:57:17skating down to her ankles.

00:57:18Under the baptism of the ancient

00:57:20presided energy,

00:57:21her appearance and magic

00:57:22were completely restored,

00:57:24far surpassing her past peak.

00:57:26The moment her feet left the water

00:57:27and she hovered in midair,

00:57:29the space behind her tore violently.

00:57:31Boom!

00:57:31Accompanied by a divine phoenix cry

00:57:33that echoed through the heavens,

00:57:34a pair of dazzling supreme natural wings

00:57:36radiating boundless life and destruction

00:57:38unfurled behind her back.

00:57:39The divine wings were massive,

00:57:41each feather condundated

00:57:42from the purest golden light

00:57:43of natural law.

00:57:44With a slight flutter,

00:57:45a terrifying pressure swept past

00:57:47like a tsunami.

00:57:48Unable to withstand the bloodline pressure

00:57:49from the depths of their souls,

00:57:51the ten thousand pure-blooded elves

00:57:53slammed their foreheads

00:57:54against the ground

00:57:55as the sacred group

00:57:56and echoed in harmony.

00:57:58We welcome Her Majesty's

00:58:00ascension to the throne!

00:58:03You have to be divine powerful forever,

00:58:05and may your life match the heavens!

00:58:07Standing amid the golden light,

00:58:09Seraphina looked down at her subjects.

00:58:11She raised her hand slightly,

00:58:12feeling the terrifying magic

00:58:14capable of destroying heaven and earth,

00:58:15a cruel, cold smile

00:58:16playing on her lips.

00:58:17The submissive, lowly consort

00:58:18who had once begged

00:58:19for a flask of pure spring water

00:58:21for her daughter in the Withern Tower,

00:58:22had completely died

00:58:23in this sacred pool today.

00:58:24The one who lived now

00:58:26was the Supreme Empress,

00:58:27who held the power over life and death

00:58:29for the entire elven sanctuary.

00:58:31She turned her gaze

00:58:32towards the direction

00:58:33of the Wind Kingdom,

00:58:35her murderous intent

00:58:36radiating palpably.

00:58:39Since Seraphina's departure,

00:58:41Vanessa carried herself completely

00:58:42as the new mistress

00:58:43of the Wind Kingdom.

00:58:44Without the restraint

00:58:45of the legitimate primary mistress,

00:58:47she tore off her past gentle disguise.

00:58:49The first thing she did upon moving

00:58:50is replace all the decorations

00:58:52with the most luxurious gold silks.

00:58:54She lived extravagantly and wastefully,

00:58:56bathing in the rarest floral dew daily,

00:58:58and even forcibly withalding

00:59:00nearly half of the lower tier elf's

00:59:01winter ravens,

00:59:02just to fashion a sweeping dress

00:59:04embedded with deep sea magic krills.

00:59:06Furthermore,

00:59:06Vanessa was arrogant and harsh

00:59:07to the point of cruelty

00:59:08to toward the servants

00:59:09and lower-class elves of the kingdom.

00:59:11Mistress,

00:59:12this is the silver needle tea

00:59:13you requested.

00:59:14The temperature is just right.

00:59:15It's...

00:59:16Scolding, you useless wretch!

00:59:18Are you trying to ruin

00:59:18my face on purpose?

00:59:20Someone,

00:59:20strip her of her elfin badge

00:59:22and banish her entire family

00:59:23to hard labor

00:59:24at the Wither Tower!

00:59:25Ah!

00:59:26Panic gripped the main manor,

00:59:27and the lower tier elves

00:59:28filled the air with grievances.

00:59:29Sitting in his study,

00:59:31Ronan listened to the constant shouting,

00:59:32face slapping and crying

00:59:33from outside,

00:59:34his temples throbbing.

00:59:35Looking at the ledger,

00:59:36submitted by the Council of Elders,

00:59:38which detailed Vanessa's waste

00:59:39of tens of thousands

00:59:40of magic crystals

00:59:41over the past few days,

00:59:42his face turned grim.

00:59:43In the past,

00:59:44when Serafina managed the household,

00:59:45the entire Wind Kingdom was orderly.

00:59:47She was always gentle,

00:59:48understanding and proper,

00:59:49choosing to live frugally

00:59:50rather than misappropriate

00:59:52a single penny from the kingdom.

00:59:53Even using her own source,

00:59:54Morna,

00:59:54to nourish injured low-tier soldiers,

00:59:56Roman instinctively touched

00:59:57the empty space beside his throne,

00:59:59an unprecedented emptiness

01:00:00and regret washing over him

01:00:02like a tidal wave.

01:00:03He began to desperately miss

01:00:05the woman who had always

01:00:05quietly waited for him.

01:00:07But now,

01:00:08no matter how much

01:00:09he searched the Wind Kingdom's territory,

01:00:11he could no longer find

01:00:12a single trace of Serafina.

01:00:15Yet,

01:00:16Ronan had no idea

01:00:16that while he was drowning

01:00:17in endless regret and agony,

01:00:19a dim storle lamp

01:00:20was burning in the most secluded

01:00:21subterranean chamber

01:00:22of the main manor.

01:00:22Dressed in her luxurious gown,

01:00:24Vanessa showed none

01:00:24of her usual arrogance,

01:00:26slumping limply into the embrace

01:00:27of her old lover Oswin,

01:00:28the chief captain of the guards.

01:00:30Oswin's rough,

01:00:31calloused hands

01:00:31gripped her slender waist tightly,

01:00:32as their breaths mingled

01:00:34in a display of immacity

01:00:35and wanton behavior.

01:00:36A suspicious red Ronan

01:00:37stared at Jasper

01:00:38for a long time today.

01:00:40Could he have discovered something?

01:00:42My darling,

01:00:43with me here,

01:00:44what are you afraid of?

01:00:45Even if his suspicions

01:00:46lead him to test the bloodline,

01:00:48he will never find a problem.

01:00:49Don't forget,

01:00:50when he sent me

01:00:51to draw our son's blood,

01:00:52I swapped it with my own.

01:00:53That broken appraisal,

01:00:55Askel,

01:00:55of his will only show

01:00:56an absolute blood relative.

01:00:58Oswin pulled Vanessa closer,

01:00:59tilting her chin up proudly.

01:01:01If Ronan hadn't been

01:01:02heavily injured

01:01:03and unconscious

01:01:03during the war

01:01:04three years ago,

01:01:05allowing you

01:01:06to slip into my bed

01:01:07amid the chaos,

01:01:09how else would he have become

01:01:10this cheap father

01:01:12and felt guilty enough

01:01:13to search for you

01:01:14for three whole years?

01:01:15Vanessa's beautiful eyes

01:01:16flashed with a venomous light

01:01:18as she laughed

01:01:18and pinched the man,

01:01:19who told Ronan

01:01:20to pride himself

01:01:21on being deeply affectionate

01:01:23when he is actually a fool

01:01:24who is easily deceived.

01:01:25For three years,

01:01:26he trampled Serafina,

01:01:27the legitimate mistress,

01:01:29into the dirt

01:01:29for the sake of Jasper and my...

01:01:31Little does he know,

01:01:32the heir he personally cherishes

01:01:33is actually your child!

01:01:35A wild and greedy ambition

01:01:37as his flashed,

01:01:37his voice turned low and vicious.

01:01:39Ronan is completely distracted

01:01:41every day

01:01:41because of Seraf's disappears

01:01:42and the kingdom's fortune

01:01:43has mostly vanished

01:01:44for some reason.

01:01:45The Ascension passage

01:01:46is even closed.

01:01:47In just a few more days,

01:01:48we will deliver

01:01:50the fatal blood.

01:01:52The inner frustration

01:01:53and the mysterious loss

01:01:55of his kingdom's fortune

01:01:56drove him near madness.

01:01:57His mind troubled.

01:01:58He walked aimlessly

01:01:59through the streets

01:02:00of the main city

01:02:00and inadvertently stopped

01:02:02in front of the infirmary.

01:02:03Looking at the somewhat

01:02:04dilapidated doors,

01:02:05the image of Serafina

01:02:06weeping in absolute despair here

01:02:08suddenly flashed

01:02:09through his mind.

01:02:10I must be losing my mind

01:02:11to have walked all the way here.

01:02:13Just as he turned to leave,

01:02:14a stealthy figure

01:02:15carrying a bundle

01:02:15prepared to flee

01:02:16from inside the infirmary.

01:02:17It was the doctor

01:02:18from before.

01:02:19Ever since Serafina

01:02:19Umut erased her holy name

01:02:20and left,

01:02:21causing half of the tree

01:02:22of life to wither,

01:02:23this doctor had been

01:02:23tormented night and day

01:02:24by guilt and fear,

01:02:25finally breaking down

01:02:26and preparing to escape overnight.

01:02:27Ronan's eyes turned sharp.

01:02:29Moving like lightning,

01:02:30he materialized before the doctor,

01:02:32blocking his path.

01:02:33Where do you think

01:02:33you are running?

01:02:35What are you panicking for

01:02:36upon seeing me?

01:02:37Looking at Ronan's

01:02:38rage-distorted face

01:02:39and thinking of the rampant rumors

01:02:40about the primary mistress' disappearance

01:02:42and the sacred trees' withering,

01:02:43the doctor's psychological defense

01:02:44collapsed completely.

01:02:45Even needing to use

01:02:46a soul-searching technique,

01:02:47he fell to his knees in terror,

01:02:48know-coding frantically

01:02:49as tears and muses

01:02:50strem down his face.

01:02:51Lord, spare my life!

01:02:52I deserve to die!

01:02:53I dare not hide it any longer!

01:02:54The primary mistress did not lie!

01:02:56She was not throwing a tamer

01:02:57fighting for effect!

01:02:58Ronan's heart skipped a beat,

01:02:59a profound sense of foreboding

01:03:01enveloping his entire body.

01:03:03Make yourself clear!

01:03:04What do you mean she didn't lie?!

01:03:06It was your daughter.

01:03:07Your daughter Iris

01:03:08didn't catch an ordinary chill at all!

01:03:10She was poisoned with the

01:03:11highly insidious

01:03:12soul-eating grass

01:03:13and her core had already

01:03:14begun to wither!

01:03:15Boom!

01:03:15The doctor's words exploded

01:03:16in Ronan's ears

01:03:17like a thunder mist

01:03:18leaving his pail

01:03:18and make him sway on his feet.

01:03:20Ronan grabbed the terrified

01:03:22fleeing doctor by the collar,

01:03:23his eyes bloodshot

01:03:25like a cornered beast.

01:03:27Impossible!

01:03:28I checked her myself that day!

01:03:29Her breathing was steady

01:03:30and her temperature was normal!

01:03:32Even you personally

01:03:33diagnosed it as a common chill!

01:03:35How dabricate

01:03:36a poisoning story

01:03:37to me now!

01:03:39It was all fake!

01:03:42Madame Vanessa

01:03:43forced me to do it!

01:03:44It was her!

01:03:45She fed the little princess

01:03:46a forbidden illusion potion

01:03:48before you arrived!

01:03:49Forcibly creating

01:03:51a false appearance

01:03:52of health!

01:03:53The doctor's words

01:03:55cut like knives,

01:03:57tearing Ronan's

01:03:58self-rightless

01:03:58arrogance to pieces.

01:04:00Madame Vanessa

01:04:01bribed me

01:04:02and threatened

01:04:02my family's lives

01:04:03to maintain the illusion,

01:04:04all to make you believe

01:04:05the primary mistress

01:04:06was just throwing

01:04:07a jealous fit

01:04:07so you would ignore

01:04:08the mother and daughter

01:04:09leaving the little princess

01:04:10to die from the poison!

01:04:12And...

01:04:13And that flask

01:04:14of sacred tree extract!

01:04:15Hearing the words

01:04:16sacred tree extract,

01:04:17Ronan's body shook violently,

01:04:19his face draining

01:04:20of all color.

01:04:21That spiritual medicine

01:04:22was given to the primary mistress

01:04:23out of my sudden

01:04:24flash of consciousness!

01:04:25It was not only

01:04:26an antidote to all poisons

01:04:27but the sole hope

01:04:27to save the little princess's life!

01:04:29Yet you,

01:04:30you detested

01:04:30the primary mistress

01:04:31and forcibly

01:04:32snatched that medicine away

01:04:33to secure the position

01:04:34of the perfectly

01:04:35healthy Jasper!

01:04:37Roman felt as if

01:04:38he'd been struck

01:04:38by lightning,

01:04:39all strength

01:04:40instantly draining

01:04:41from his body.

01:04:42Boundless darkness

01:04:43and immense regret

01:04:44swallowed him

01:04:44like a tsunami.

01:04:45He finally realized

01:04:47that Serafina

01:04:47had been telling

01:04:48the truth all along.

01:04:49It was him,

01:04:50he,

01:04:51the father,

01:04:52blinded by favoritism

01:04:53and interest,

01:04:54who had personally

01:04:55snatched away

01:04:56his daughter's

01:04:57life-saving straw,

01:04:58pushing his newborn

01:04:59child into the

01:05:00abyss of death!

01:05:01A spray of crimson

01:05:03blood erupted

01:05:04from Ronan's mouth

01:05:05as he collapsed

01:05:06onto his knees

01:05:07on the freezing

01:05:08stone pavement,

01:05:09clutching his

01:05:09agonizingly painful

01:05:11chest,

01:05:11letting out

01:05:12a desperate,

01:05:13piercing streel.

01:05:16Serafina!

01:05:17Iris!

01:05:18What have I done?

01:05:20What on earth

01:05:21have I done?!

01:05:22Immense regret

01:05:22drove Ronan

01:05:23completely mad.

01:05:24Disregarding the

01:05:25blood on his lips,

01:05:25he scrammed back

01:05:26to his feet

01:05:26and ran back

01:05:27to the main hall

01:05:28like a madman.

01:05:29At this moment,

01:05:31he no longer cared

01:05:32about supreme

01:05:32cooperation

01:05:33or reaching the peak.

01:05:35He only wanted

01:05:36to find his wife

01:05:36and save his

01:05:37daughter's life.

01:05:39Search!

01:05:40Mobilize all

01:05:40forces of the

01:05:41Wind Kingdom!

01:05:42Search every inch

01:05:43of land!

01:05:43And even if you

01:05:44have to hunt

01:05:45through the

01:05:45Forbidden Forest,

01:05:46bring back

01:05:47the primary

01:05:47mistress

01:05:47and the princess!

01:05:49Go now!

01:05:53However,

01:05:54one day passed,

01:05:55then two days,

01:05:56and for three

01:05:57whole days and nights,

01:05:59the elite high elves

01:06:00brought back nothing

01:06:01but the desperate

01:06:01news of no trace

01:06:02found.

01:06:03Serafina seemed

01:06:04to have dissolved

01:06:05into the wind,

01:06:06vanishing completely

01:06:07without a trace.

01:06:08Failing to find

01:06:09his wife,

01:06:09Ronan's grief

01:06:10and self-blame

01:06:11gradually transformed

01:06:12into a towering

01:06:13Merlis and Tess,

01:06:14he finally thought

01:06:15of the instigator,

01:06:16Vanessa.

01:06:17Vanessa!

01:06:18You vicious wretch!

01:06:19I will tear you

01:06:20into ten thousand pieces!

01:06:22Gripping the great

01:06:23sword of the wind god

01:06:24that symbolized

01:06:24his kingdom's power,

01:06:26he strode toward

01:06:27Vanessa's bedchamber,

01:06:28brimming with

01:06:29murderous intent.

01:06:30He wanted to settle

01:06:30the score with

01:06:31that evil woman

01:06:32and use the blood

01:06:33of Vanessa and her son

01:06:34to atone for his

01:06:35actions against

01:06:36his wife and daughter.

01:06:37However,

01:06:38when he reached

01:06:39the chamber,

01:06:40he found it

01:06:41completely empty.

01:06:42Unleashing his

01:06:43divine sense,

01:06:44he followed a faint

01:06:45trace of magic

01:06:46straight into

01:06:47the desolate forest

01:06:48behind the temple.

01:06:49The moon was dark

01:06:51and the wind howled

01:06:51through the silence

01:06:52of the desolate forest

01:06:52behind the temple.

01:06:53Ronan concealed

01:06:54his presence,

01:06:55moving step by step

01:06:56into the shadow

01:06:57of the ancient trees

01:06:57with his great sword.

01:06:58But before he could

01:06:59see clearly,

01:07:00faint whispers

01:07:00and strugglings

01:07:01came from the thicket

01:07:02falling clearly

01:07:02into his ears.

01:07:03Slow down.

01:07:04If that fool Ronan

01:07:05finds out,

01:07:05we are dead.

01:07:06What are you afraid of?

01:07:08He is completely

01:07:08distracted every day

01:07:09because of that wretch

01:07:10running around the world

01:07:11like a madman.

01:07:11How could he have time

01:07:12for us?

01:07:12I've already coordinated

01:07:13with Governor Gamma

01:07:14while he will strip

01:07:15the treasury of all

01:07:16magic crystals

01:07:17and public funds

01:07:17tonight and run!

01:07:18Boom!

01:07:19Ronan's mind went

01:07:19completely blank.

01:07:20He knew these voices

01:07:21all too well.

01:07:21One belonged to his

01:07:22chief captain of the

01:07:23guards, Oswin,

01:07:23and the other belonged

01:07:24to Vanessa White

01:07:24Moonlight first love

01:07:25he had cherished

01:07:26for three years.

01:07:26Ronan trembled violently,

01:07:28staring dead at the

01:07:28disheveled man and woman

01:07:29entwiled behind the tree.

01:07:30Speaking of which,

01:07:31Ronan really is an

01:07:32absolute fool.

01:07:33For the past three days

01:07:34he has been holding

01:07:35that fake bloodline report,

01:07:36comforting himself

01:07:39and the heir he raised

01:07:40with the kingdom's

01:07:40sacred medicine

01:07:41is actually your

01:07:41biological flesh and blood!

01:07:44The truth slapped

01:07:45Ronan across the face,

01:07:46shattering his remaining

01:07:47self-respect and pride.

01:07:48It turned out he was

01:07:49not only the murderer

01:07:49who had personally pushed

01:07:50his biological daughter

01:07:51to her death,

01:07:52but also the world's

01:07:52biggest fool who had

01:07:53raised a bastard child

01:07:54for a pair of adulterers

01:07:55for three years

01:07:55kingdom was being

01:07:56Eustarcted.

01:07:59Insolent fools!

01:08:01You will pay for this!

01:08:03Unleashing and

01:08:03deblant of Solauenhorn

01:08:04that erupt is the

01:08:05great sword dream of

01:08:06rock for the lecily

01:08:06sentiment trees

01:08:07and the century green

01:08:08people flying.

01:08:08Oswin and Vanessa

01:08:09screamed as they

01:08:10hit the ground

01:08:11when Vanessa saw

01:08:12Ronan,

01:08:12who stood there

01:08:13with overwhelming

01:08:14ferocity.

01:08:15She lost her

01:08:15wits in terror.

01:08:23Oswin and Ronan

01:08:23have exhausted

01:08:24and by dying

01:08:25realized Lord

01:08:25off course due

01:08:26to a lax limit

01:08:27at the magic.

01:08:27Though this strike

01:08:28his teeth,

01:08:28he pulled Vanessa

01:08:29up and pringzled

01:08:30several poisonous

01:08:30smoke bombs.

01:08:31With a loud explosion,

01:08:32a toxic mist filled

01:08:33the area.

01:08:34By the time the storm

01:08:35blew the mist away,

01:08:36the disheveled couple

01:08:36had all flooded

01:08:37the wind forest using

01:08:38their familiarity

01:08:39with the de ground.

01:08:40As the cold wind blew,

01:08:41he looked around

01:08:41at the empty surroundings,

01:08:42appearing as though

01:08:43he had aged a hundred years.

01:08:45Ronan fell to his knees,

01:08:46his fingers digging

01:08:48into the dirt,

01:08:48as he wept desperately,

01:08:51like a beaten dog

01:08:52in the dead of night.

01:08:55Meanwhile,

01:08:56inside the flawless,

01:08:57radiant temple of life

01:08:58in the supreme sanctuary,

01:08:59Iris had completely recovered.

01:09:01She was now dressed in garments

01:09:02woven from the rarest golden silk

01:09:04and sitting in a cradle

01:09:05carved from 10,000-year-old

01:09:06Munwa jiggling

01:09:07and blowing bubbles.

01:09:08The supreme divine mark

01:09:09on her forehead

01:09:10flowed with brilliant colors,

01:09:11exuding an incredibly

01:09:12noble bloodline.

01:09:14Standing beside the cradle,

01:09:15Serafina gently played

01:09:16with her daughter,

01:09:17her eyes filled only

01:09:18with maternal love.

01:09:19As for the past

01:09:20humiliations and affection,

01:09:22the high elfin king

01:09:22slowly walked over

01:09:23to his daughter.

01:09:24Looking at his reborn

01:09:25granddaughter with affection,

01:09:26he then turned a serious

01:09:27gaze toward Serafina.

01:09:28My daughter,

01:09:29I have already ordered

01:09:30a complete block out

01:09:32against all past complications

01:09:34with the Wind Kingdom.

01:09:35Now that your bloodline

01:09:36has fully awakened

01:09:37and the supreme natural wings

01:09:39have grown behind your back,

01:09:40it is time for you

01:09:41to assume your rightful

01:09:43responsibilities.

01:09:44Serafina withdrawed her hand

01:09:45and turned to face her father,

01:09:46her gaze calm and instaurative,

01:09:48completely deblined

01:09:48of mortal weakness.

01:09:49Father, I understand.

01:09:51Romantic attachments

01:09:52are nothing but

01:09:53a self-inflicted trap.

01:09:54Only supreme power

01:09:55can allow me

01:09:56to control my destiny

01:09:57and protect my iris

01:09:59for a lifetime of peace.

01:10:00The father laughed

01:10:01with relief

01:10:02and immediately announced,

01:10:03Good!

01:10:04I have already issued

01:10:05a decree to all kingdoms

01:10:06that the sanctuary ceremony

01:10:07will begin shortly.

01:10:08You will officially

01:10:09inherit the throne

01:10:10and become the first

01:10:11high elfin queen

01:10:12of our supreme sanctuary

01:10:13in 10,000 years.

01:10:16Meanwhile,

01:10:16the Wind Kingdom,

01:10:17far at the edge

01:10:18of the continent,

01:10:18had fallen into

01:10:19a perilous situation.

01:10:20Due to Vanessa

01:10:21and Oswin's betrayal

01:10:22and thiefed of the funds,

01:10:23a fierce internal conflict

01:10:24erupted within the kingdom.

01:10:25Worse still,

01:10:26because Serafina

01:10:27had erased her holy name

01:10:28and severed the tree

01:10:29of life withered,

01:10:29causing the kingdom's

01:10:30overall magic

01:10:31to rapidly decline

01:10:32and their barrier to...

01:10:33Roman sat on his broken throne,

01:10:35emaciated and covered in stubble,

01:10:37showing none of his past glory

01:10:38as a lord.

01:10:39Just then,

01:10:39an old servant

01:10:40tremblingly presented

01:10:41a gathering order

01:10:42from the supreme sanctuary.

01:10:44My lord,

01:10:45a divine oracle

01:10:46has arrived

01:10:47from the supreme sanctuary.

01:10:48The new supreme empress

01:10:50is about to ascend the throne

01:10:51and the coronation ceremony

01:10:52requires all kingdoms

01:10:53to pay homage.

01:10:54Does our kingdom

01:10:55attend?

01:10:56A final ember

01:10:57of fanatical hope

01:10:58erupted in Ronan's eyes.

01:11:02He had no heart

01:11:03to manage the kingdom's

01:11:04mundane affairs

01:11:04because he knew time

01:11:06was running out

01:11:06for the wind kingdom.

01:11:08Their only salvation

01:11:09lay in aligning

01:11:10with the supreme sanctuary.

01:11:11Go!

01:11:12Prepare the highest

01:11:13specification of gifts

01:11:15and the entire kingdom

01:11:16will accompany me

01:11:17to the sanctuary

01:11:18to pay homage.

01:11:20Tupian-1 gripped the order

01:11:21tightly as if catching

01:11:22a final saving straw.

01:11:23I have heard

01:11:24that this new eye

01:11:24is our way of

01:11:25is to swore off

01:11:25the wrecked of bloodlines

01:11:26and possessing

01:11:27immense warfare

01:11:27and our marriage

01:11:28of descending.

01:11:29Along as we act

01:11:30are sufficiently submissive

01:11:31and respected

01:11:31to camarader protection

01:11:32from that mysterious empress.

01:11:34Our kingdom

01:11:35will be completely saved!

01:11:37Little did he know,

01:11:38the opportunity

01:11:39he was so desperate

01:11:40to grovel for

01:11:41belonged to the very wife

01:11:43he had personally

01:11:44pushed into the abyss.

01:11:46Before the sanctuary

01:11:47coronation ceremony,

01:11:48the Finjing walked

01:11:49to be launched a rest

01:11:50in the simplest deed

01:11:50at the Secrescent edge

01:11:51of Shangguang-Tung's out.

01:11:53It and Nate stood

01:11:53a loon on the noon

01:11:54and the other

01:11:54driving below

01:11:55of Secreta's

01:11:55and the day of

01:11:56Trun-Shempil

01:11:56surging through

01:11:57Balfour-Nariad.

01:11:58Rornan's nins

01:11:58raised it as if

01:11:59something canate

01:12:00was awakening

01:12:00within that divine light.

01:12:01Images of Seraphina

01:12:03began to flash

01:12:03uncontrollably

01:12:04through his mind.

01:12:05Her shyness

01:12:06when they first met.

01:12:07Her tenderness

01:12:08when healing his wounds.

01:12:10And

01:12:11her cold,

01:12:12resoluiced gaze

01:12:13as she left

01:12:14the withered tower

01:12:15holding their daughter.

01:12:17Eloina walked up

01:12:17behind him

01:12:18wearing a cloak.

01:12:19Looking at her

01:12:20distracted son,

01:12:21she let out

01:12:22a deep sigh.

01:12:23Roran,

01:12:23stop thinking about it.

01:12:24Tomorrow is the critical day

01:12:25to meet the Supreme Empress.

01:12:27The survival of our

01:12:28Wind Kingdom relies

01:12:28entirely on this

01:12:29single action.

01:12:30You must not

01:12:31lose your composure.

01:12:32Rayon withdraw his gaze,

01:12:33cripping his racing chest,

01:12:34a bitter smile

01:12:35playing on his lips.

01:12:36Mother,

01:12:36I was just thinking

01:12:37Rufina was still here

01:12:38with her pure bloodline.

01:12:39Would she also be happy

01:12:40for me seeing this

01:12:41grand sight of

01:12:41ten thousand kingdoms

01:12:42paying homage tomorrow?

01:12:43Regrettably,

01:12:44and no one could answer

01:12:45his belated affection

01:12:46and self-reflection.

01:12:47On the day of the ceremony,

01:12:49the Supreme Sanctuary

01:12:49shone with magnificent

01:12:50golden light,

01:12:51piercing the sky.

01:12:52The entire sacred mountain

01:12:53was to look inventable.

01:12:54Holy unicorns soared

01:12:55through the air

01:12:56as tribal leaders

01:12:57and ancient deities

01:12:58gathered to elders.

01:12:59Meanwhile,

01:12:59Riz Misli in the most

01:13:00remote corner

01:13:01at the outmost edge

01:13:02of the main hall,

01:13:03not even daring

01:13:03to raise their heads.

01:13:04As a sacred ancient bell

01:13:05echoed through the heavens,

01:13:06a grand and vast chant

01:13:08filled the world.

01:13:08Silence across all kingdoms!

01:13:10We welcome the ascension

01:13:12of Her Majesty,

01:13:13the High Elven Queen!

01:13:14A supreme throne

01:13:15radiating immense authority

01:13:17slowly rose

01:13:18from the center of the tree.

01:13:19Ronan and his mother

01:13:20Aleda pressed their heads

01:13:21firmly against

01:13:22the freezing floor tiles,

01:13:23their bodies trembling violently

01:13:24under the supreme bloodline pressure

01:13:26that descended from above.

01:13:27Near of a strange procession

01:13:28under the immense pressure,

01:13:29Ronan managed to raise his head

01:13:30with great difficulty,

01:13:31wanting to look upon

01:13:32the mysterious Antress

01:13:33who could save

01:13:33his kingdom's life.

01:13:35However,

01:13:36when his gaze pierced

01:13:37through the golden light

01:13:38and clearly saw the figure

01:13:40sitting upon the supreme

01:13:42throne,

01:13:42the massive natural wings

01:13:44unfurled behind her back

01:13:45and the daughter

01:13:46she held in her arms

01:13:48sucking her fing.

01:13:49Roman's pupils

01:13:50shrank violently

01:13:51in an instant

01:13:51as if struck by lightning,

01:13:53his breath catching

01:13:54completely in his throat.

01:13:55That face,

01:13:56that noble,

01:13:58cold and peerless

01:13:59High Elven Queen

01:14:00who ruled over

01:14:00the entire sanctuary

01:14:02was actually Seraphina!

01:14:06Seraphina!

01:14:06Ronan's startled cry

01:14:07shattered the silence

01:14:08of the temple.

01:14:09High Priestess Alonda

01:14:10looked up and recognized

01:14:11the beautiful empress

01:14:12radiating absolute authority

01:14:14from the altar.

01:14:15She misconnected.

01:14:15I was wrong!

01:14:16I truly know I was wrong!

01:14:18Please the useless woman

01:14:18they had trampled

01:14:19in the withered town.

01:14:20Two golden spears

01:14:21struck down

01:14:22with the force

01:14:23of natural law.

01:14:27She looked down

01:14:28upon him

01:14:28who lay like a dead dog

01:14:29at the bottom of the steps

01:14:30while Iris blew bubbles

01:14:31in her arms.

01:14:32There was no hatred

01:14:33in her eyes.

01:14:34Only the disgust one

01:14:35would feel

01:14:35looking at an open sewer.

01:14:37Ronan do you think

01:14:38you are worthy

01:14:38of speaking my holy name?

01:14:40Do you think

01:14:40you are worthy

01:14:41of calling my daughter's name?

01:14:42A golden beam of law

01:14:43became a massive hand

01:14:44of divine power

01:14:45and struck

01:14:45Fethia Ronan

01:14:46across the face.

01:14:47Slap!

01:14:47Half of his facial bones

01:14:49shatter against

01:14:49and this slap

01:14:50is for your blindest

01:14:51side of his face

01:14:52and him comb

01:14:52scheming woman

01:14:53to true wife.

01:14:54Slap!

01:14:54The harder backhand

01:14:55twisted your utter

01:14:56lack of conscience

01:14:57for personally stealing

01:14:58your biological daughter's

01:15:00life-saving medicine.

01:15:01The leaders of the

01:15:02various kingdoms

01:15:03expressed their disdain

01:15:04and spit in disapproval.

01:15:06Clutching his swollen face

01:15:08self-respect

01:15:09was publicly trampled

01:15:10before all kingdoms.

01:15:12His reputation

01:15:13was completely destroyed.

01:15:16Yes!

01:15:16I deserve to be beaten!

01:15:18I am a beast!

01:15:19Sir Amin

01:15:19as long as you vent

01:15:20your anger

01:15:21you can talk to me

01:15:21however you like.

01:15:22Just please let me

01:15:23rest our daughter kingdom!

01:15:24Ronan

01:15:24once a proud general

01:15:25now knelt in the dust.

01:15:27His pleas echoed

01:15:27empty and desperate.

01:15:29Seeing an opportunity

01:15:30Alita cast aside

01:15:30all dignity

01:15:31and began

01:15:31cobicating frantically.

01:15:33Go divine majesty

01:15:34for the sub

01:15:34the wind kingdom

01:15:35being of the royal family

01:15:36thousand years!

01:15:36Please stay your hand

01:15:37and save our withering

01:15:38tree of life!

01:15:39Looking at the mother

01:15:39and icon

01:15:40who were still calculating

01:15:41for benefits even now

01:15:42the mockery on

01:15:43Serafina's boobs

01:15:44deepened to the extreme.

01:15:46Save you?

01:15:46The wind kingdom

01:15:47only enjoyed its past glory

01:15:48because I nourished it

01:15:49with my supreme source power

01:15:50since you will reclaim

01:15:51everything I granted you.

01:15:52She slowly raised her hand

01:15:53curving her fingers

01:15:54and made a grasping motion

01:15:55toward Ronan

01:15:56and Alashan from afar.

01:15:57In an instant

01:15:57the ancient wind laws

01:15:59inside Ronan and Alina

01:16:00which had been granted

01:16:01by the royal family

01:16:02turned into strands

01:16:03of golden light

01:16:04and were violently

01:16:04stripped from their bones

01:16:05and souls.

01:16:07My magic!

01:16:09My cultivation!

01:16:13It was a stripping process

01:16:14more painful than death.

01:16:16Within moments

01:16:16Ronan's cultivation

01:16:17plummeted from a high tea lord

01:16:18to something inferior

01:16:19even to an ordinary

01:16:20low tier elf

01:16:20turning him into

01:16:21a complete and vital.

01:16:22Pass down my divine

01:16:30A divine guard

01:16:31kicked Ronan hard

01:16:32in the abdomen

01:16:33sending the two broken

01:16:35stripped and thoroughly

01:16:36disgraced wretchers

01:16:37tumbling down the nine

01:16:38layers of the altar

01:16:40amid the laughter

01:16:41of all kingdoms.

01:16:43Internal conflict spread

01:16:44like wildfire

01:16:45through the wind kingdom

01:16:46and the anger

01:16:47of the lower tier elves

01:16:47completely overthrew

01:16:48the main manor.

01:16:49Meanwhile

01:16:49lying on a bed

01:16:50in a side paville

01:16:51the old woman Alina

01:16:52trembled inside

01:16:52the empty room.

01:16:53She had previously

01:16:54been blinded by greed

01:16:54to accepting

01:16:55massive amounts

01:16:55of illicit wealth

01:16:56from Vanessa

01:16:56Oswin and Gamma

01:16:57to secure their positions.

01:16:58Even the forceful

01:16:59snatching of Iris'

01:17:00sacred tree extract

01:17:01had been driven

01:17:01largely by her own greed.

01:17:02Now retribution

01:17:03had arrived.

01:17:04The kingdom was ruined

01:17:05the treasures were lost

01:17:06and even the eldest

01:17:07grandson Jasper

01:17:08whom she had cherished

01:17:09night and day

01:17:09as the future hope

01:17:10of the kingdom

01:17:10was confirmed to be

01:17:11nothing to dirty bastard.

01:17:13The heavy and terrifying

01:17:13karmic backlash

01:17:14transformed into

01:17:15invisible bullets

01:17:15cutting at her guilty

01:17:16soul night and day.

01:17:17The extreme fear

01:17:18and massive mental shock

01:17:19drove the normally

01:17:20arrogant and harsh

01:17:21old woman

01:17:22completely sane.

01:17:23That night

01:17:24as the sounds of

01:17:25rioting echo outside

01:17:26the old woman

01:17:27ended her guilty life

01:17:28with a white silk cord

01:17:29hanging from a beam

01:17:30in the cold

01:17:31lonely main manor.

01:17:34The next morning

01:17:35when Ronan

01:17:36pushed open the door

01:17:37and saw his mother's

01:17:39stiff body

01:17:39hanging in mid-air

01:17:41he only let out

01:17:42a few horny

01:17:43tragic laughs

01:17:44unable to squeeze

01:17:46out even a single tear.

01:17:48Meanwhile

01:17:48thousands of miles away

01:17:50from the wind kingdom

01:17:50at the frozen border

01:17:51an incredibly luxurious

01:17:52sacred carriage

01:17:53was hurtling through the sky.

01:17:54The carriage compartment

01:17:55was stuffed with

01:17:56radiant rare treasures

01:17:57the entire foundation

01:17:58of the wind kingdom

01:17:59that Vanessa

01:18:00and Chief Cap

01:18:00two wolves

01:18:01shone only with

01:18:01absolute os greed

01:18:02for wealth.

01:18:03Vanessa

01:18:03this chest of divine

01:18:05items belongs to me

01:18:06without my guard team

01:18:07coordinating

01:18:08you wouldn't have even

01:18:09made it out the main

01:18:10gates of the manor.

01:18:11Nonsense!

01:18:12Without the Lord's

01:18:12palisman that I stole

01:18:13what would you even be?

01:18:14These treasures

01:18:15are my reliance

01:18:16for the rest of my life

01:18:16don't you dare

01:18:17take a single penny!

01:18:18In the face of interest

01:18:19their past familiarity

01:18:20vanished completely

01:18:21due to an unfair

01:18:21distribution of the spoils

01:18:22malice erupted in both

01:18:24of them

01:18:24and they immediately engaged

01:18:25in a fierce magical brawl

01:18:26inside the narrow carriage.

01:18:28Wild wind blades

01:18:29and toxic mist clashed

01:18:30violently inside the compartment

01:18:31creating continuous loud

01:18:32explosions.

01:18:33As the out of control carriage

01:18:34traveled along a highly

01:18:35treacherous mountain path

01:18:37the draft bears panicked

01:18:38and went wild.

01:18:42No!

01:18:43No!

01:18:46Damn!

01:18:47Damn it!

01:18:49Amid a piercing streak

01:18:51the out of control carriage

01:18:52plunged off the cliff edge

01:18:53carrying the couple

01:18:54and the treasures

01:18:55they had schemed

01:18:56so hard to steal

01:18:57crashing heavily

01:18:58into the boulder

01:18:59straight bottom

01:18:59of the deep valley.

01:19:02Beneath the deep valley

01:19:03the rain poured heavily

01:19:04the carriage had shattered

01:19:05completely

01:19:06with broken wood

01:19:07and magic crystals

01:19:07scattered across the ground.

01:19:09Amid the rubble

01:19:09the bodies of Vanessa

01:19:11and Oshwick

01:19:11lay twisted together

01:19:12torn apart by the wild magic

01:19:13to the point of being

01:19:14unrecognizable

01:19:15dying an incredibly

01:19:16gruesome death.

01:19:17That green tea face

01:19:19that had once used

01:19:20illusion potions

01:19:21to maintain a false

01:19:22appearance of perfection

01:19:23was now sliced

01:19:24and bloodied

01:19:25by the rocks.

01:19:28Buzz!

01:19:28Space rippled slightly

01:19:29as several royal guards

01:19:30clad in pure gold robes

01:19:32quietly descended

01:19:32upon the crash site.

01:19:34Seraphina did not even

01:19:35need to act personally

01:19:36merely sending the

01:19:37sanctuary's cleanup group

01:19:38to wrap things up.

01:19:39This is the heavenly karma

01:19:40for those who betray

01:19:41her majesty.

01:19:42The guards raised their hands

01:19:43golden light surging

01:19:44from from their palms.

01:19:45As the magic arenas

01:19:46activated

01:19:47the scattered ancient treasures

01:19:48and sacred resource

01:19:49of the wind kingdom

01:19:49were entirely gathered

01:19:50and reclaimed.

01:19:52These items carried

01:19:52a significant amount of fortune

01:19:53and now that they were

01:19:54were continuously funneled

01:19:55into the treasury

01:19:56of the supreme always had.

01:19:57The villains had

01:19:58calculated everything

01:19:59only to lose their lives

01:20:01in the end

01:20:02and turn the wind kingdom's

01:20:04thousands of years

01:20:05of accumulation

01:20:05into a stepping stone

01:20:07to secure Seraphia's

01:20:08supreme royal power

01:20:09which was ironic

01:20:11to the extreme.

01:20:13Having lost everything

01:20:14he sank completely

01:20:15into boundless darkness.

01:20:16He had no mother

01:20:17no kingdom

01:20:17and no status

01:20:18to pride himself on.

01:20:19Whenever night fell

01:20:20across the empty ruins

01:20:21he seemed to hear

01:20:21her gentle voices

01:20:22and another's painful cries

01:20:23from her swaddling clothes.

01:20:24Those memories transformed

01:20:25into the most brutal torture

01:20:26tearing his mind apart

01:20:27bit by bit.

01:20:28Seraphina,

01:20:29look I brought

01:20:30the sweetest spring water

01:20:31for our daughter today.

01:20:32He began to exhibit

01:20:33severe split personality symptoms.

01:20:35At times he would kneel

01:20:36on the ground

01:20:36and slap himself frantically

01:20:38crying out that he shouldn't

01:20:39have snatched his daughter's

01:20:40life-saving medicine.

01:20:41At other times

01:20:42he would embrace

01:20:42the empty air gently

01:20:43pretending his wife

01:20:44and child were still

01:20:45by his side.

01:20:46Vanessa!

01:20:48You vicious red!

01:20:49Give me back my daughter!

01:20:51Give me back my happiness!

01:20:53He drowned his sorrows

01:20:54in alcohol all day.

01:20:55His mind become

01:20:56increasingly fractured

01:20:57as he remained trapped

01:20:58indefinitely

01:20:59within the endless regret

01:21:00he had personally fashioned.

01:21:02Roman curled up

01:21:03in the corner

01:21:04of a freezing stone seat,

01:21:05his clothes tattered,

01:21:07his once proud spine

01:21:08broken by regret.

01:21:10His hands were blooded

01:21:11and his fingernails

01:21:12filled with mud

01:21:13from frantically digging

01:21:14through the rubble

01:21:15for garments

01:21:15Seraphana had left behind.

01:21:19Look at that.

01:21:21That's the wise lord

01:21:22who trampled

01:21:23his true wife

01:21:25for a green tea woman

01:21:26back then.

01:21:29He really is

01:21:31a pathetic dog.

01:21:32Ronian was completely

01:21:33deaf to these mocks,

01:21:35merely clutching

01:21:35a tattered cloth doll

01:21:36tightly to his chest,

01:21:37a toy he had fashioned

01:21:39for Iris from memory.

01:21:40Since his magic

01:21:41was entirely gone,

01:21:42his appearance

01:21:43was aging

01:21:43at a visible rate,

01:21:44his long hair

01:21:45turning into dry white strands.

01:21:47Whenever the harsh alcohol

01:21:48hit his throat,

01:21:50he would begin

01:21:50to self-harm.

01:21:51He used sharp stones

01:21:53to carve the name

01:21:55Seraphina

01:21:55deeply into his arms,

01:21:58drawing blood,

01:21:58yet it could not stop

01:22:00the splitting pain

01:22:01in his chest.

01:22:04Seraphina!

01:22:05This is retribution!

01:22:07This is my retribution!

01:22:09You let me live

01:22:11only to find

01:22:13that every second

01:22:14of being alive

01:22:14is an absolute hell!

01:22:17The once high

01:22:18and mighty king

01:22:18had ultimately transformed

01:22:20into a mentally

01:22:20degranged madman

01:22:22fighting with wild dogs

01:22:23for food in the ruins.

01:22:25Death would be

01:22:25a merciful release

01:22:26for him,

01:22:27and remaining conscious

01:22:28to endure this life

01:22:29sentence of regret

01:22:30was his ultimate punishment.

01:22:33As for Jasper,

01:22:34the three-year-old fake he

01:22:35who had been pampered

01:22:36by the entire kingdom,

01:22:37he was, after all,

01:22:38an innocent

01:22:39and ignorant child

01:22:40who did not understand

01:22:41the greed and sins

01:22:42of adults.

01:22:42With the deaths

01:22:43of Vanair and Osquin,

01:22:44the vanity,

01:22:45privileges,

01:22:45and flambority

01:22:46that had once

01:22:46around him

01:22:47vanished overnight.

01:22:48Once the truth

01:22:48of the royal bloodline

01:22:49array spread,

01:22:50he was no longer

01:22:51the high and mighty

01:22:51young master,

01:22:52and the silver of magic

01:22:53he had forced out

01:22:54by stealing

01:22:54iris sacred tree extract

01:22:55completely withered

01:22:56due to a lack

01:22:57of subsequent nourishment.

01:22:58The forged mark

01:22:59on his forehead

01:22:59disappeared,

01:23:00and he was reduced

01:23:00to a perfectly

01:23:01ordinary,

01:23:02mediocre child.

01:23:04Take him away.

01:23:06Let him become

01:23:07an ordinary farming

01:23:08child at the border.

01:23:10This ruin of the

01:23:12Wind Kingdom

01:23:12should not retain

01:23:13a bloodline of sin.

01:23:17Mother,

01:23:18mother,

01:23:19where did you go?

01:23:25Jasper will be good

01:23:27from now at once.

01:23:30He no longer

01:23:31had a luxurious

01:23:32golden cradle

01:23:33or a crowd

01:23:33of attendants

01:23:34surrounding him.

01:23:35He was sent

01:23:35to a remote village

01:23:36far from power

01:23:37strangles,

01:23:38becoming an ordinary

01:23:39orphan who knew

01:23:40nothing of his

01:23:40birth parents.

01:23:42Perhaps staying

01:23:43far away from

01:23:43the grievers here.

01:23:46The coronation

01:23:47ceremony lasted

01:23:48for seven days

01:23:48before finally

01:23:49came to a

01:23:49successful conclusion.

01:23:51Serafina stood

01:23:51atop the highest

01:23:52altar of the

01:23:52supreme sanctuary,

01:23:53with past

01:23:54severing her ties,

01:23:55completely submission,

01:23:56weakness,

01:23:57and ridiculous

01:23:58mortal affection.

01:23:59To radiate in

01:23:59natural wings

01:24:00behind her back

01:24:00over all the world.

01:24:01And by her side,

01:24:02she held the hand

01:24:03of a beautiful,

01:24:03smiling young girl.

01:24:04Iris had

01:24:05completely recovered.

01:24:06Not only was

01:24:06the supreme bloodline

01:24:07within her body

01:24:07fully awakened,

01:24:08but her large eyes

01:24:09shone as brightly

01:24:09as a galaxy.

01:24:10Shaking her little

01:24:11head,

01:24:11she held Seraf

01:24:12onto the divine

01:24:13throne that

01:24:13symbolized the

01:24:14highest power

01:24:14of the elfin world,

01:24:15amid the mountain-shattering

01:24:16worship of all

01:24:17living beings.

01:24:18Mother,

01:24:19it's so beautiful

01:24:20here.

01:24:21Will anyone dare

01:24:22to bully us

01:24:23from now on?

01:24:25Serafina looked

01:24:26down,

01:24:26gently stroking

01:24:27the brilliant,

01:24:28supreme golden mark

01:24:29on her forehead,

01:24:30her eyes filled

01:24:31with maternal resolve.

01:24:33No,

01:24:34my darling.

01:24:35From this day forward,

01:24:36Mother will protect you,

01:24:37and no one will ever

01:24:38be able to harm you

01:24:39in the slightest.

01:24:40Mother and daughter

01:24:40sat side by side

01:24:41upon the divine throne.

01:24:42Beneath their feet

01:24:42lay the vast,

01:24:43prospering territory

01:24:44of the elven royal family.

01:24:45The empress,

01:24:46who had cast aside

01:24:46romantic entachments,

01:24:47now stood alone

01:24:48in her divinity,

01:24:49ruling over the sanctuary

01:24:49and beginning a legendary era

01:24:51that belonged entirely

01:24:51to them.

01:24:52Why?

01:24:53Why?
