Short filmTranscript
00:11As a vampire, time should have meant nothing, but over 4000 days of darkness is enough to drive even the
00:18most elegant noble man.
00:20My skin has turned a translucent pale from extreme bloodthirst.
00:23The silver suppresses most of my power, leaving me unable to move, until I met her.
00:30Rumor had it that the Earl of Blackwood once had a lost daughter.
00:33After she disappeared, the Countess, overwhelmed by grief, adopted another girl to fill the void.
00:40Half a year ago, when the Blackwoods finally found their true heir, Evelyn, and sent someone to fetch her from
00:46the countryside.
00:47Their carriage stopped here for a brief moment. Her red eyes collided with mine, as I opened them in the
00:53darkness.
00:54Give me something to eat, or let me drain your blood.
00:59Evelyn handed over half a piece of black bread.
01:02You think I'm a beggar? I want what they have.
01:05I pointed at the roasted chicken in the coachman's hand nearby.
01:08I haven't entered the manor yet. The Blackwoods don't keep idle hands. This is my own ration.
01:14The Blackwood family was wealthy enough to rival nations.
01:19A few years ago, at a banquet in the Earl's Domain, I had seen the adopted daughter, Chloe.
01:25At that time, the Countess had wept publicly, lamenting her agonizing longing for her lost child.
01:31But now, the only food his biological daughter has is black bread.
01:36You are a lady! Have some dignity!
01:38The maid struck the black bread away harshly.
01:40Eating such filth brings shame to this house!
01:44This bumpiel isn't even fit to be Miss Chloe's cat!
01:47The Earl and Countess knew where she was three years ago.
01:49They didn't fetch her because she looked filthy.
01:52If not for a marriage alliance, who'd bother fetching an orphan from the stables?
01:55She reeks of mature. Even silk can't wash off the stench of the gutter.
01:59Evelyn clutched her sleeves tightly.
02:07Horsey...
02:08Want to see them punished?
02:11Evelyn froze.
02:12The earth around the coffin exploded.
02:15Several vines and poisonous thorns burst from the ground, coiled around the ankles of the three servants.
02:21Shall I go faster?
02:24The vine spun wild and screams and wretching echoed across the wilderness.
02:29Evelyn's tears turned to laughter.
02:32What is your name?
02:36When I've saved enough money, I'll find the best priest to grant you eternal rest.
02:42The holy silver spike has me pinned.
02:44Just live.
02:45All I ever wanted was to live.
02:48Don't waste your breath.
02:49I'll come back for you.
02:51But she didn't return for half a year.
02:54Then she appeared once again in the storm-swept wilderness.
02:57She looked terrible thinner.
02:59Drenched in mud.
03:00Wearing nothing but a tattered rag of a dress.
03:04The sacred silver spike has trapped your soul.
03:08To be free, a life must be traded for a life.
03:11I stole this blood-placked from the convent.
03:14If you agree, I will give my life to you.
03:20I didn't forget you.
03:22I just couldn't leave.
03:24No roasted chicken.
03:25Don't hate me.
03:27Look at me.
03:28Even at death's door, I'm still thinking of you.
03:31The manor is 30 kilometers from here.
03:33Did you walk all that way?
03:34Who pushed you to this?
03:36The Blackwoods?
03:36She gave a bitter smile.
03:38Her face streaked with rain.
03:40Tears indistinguishable.
03:41It's this hypocritical world.
03:44It's because I was too foolish.
03:47Too weak.
03:52Come here.
03:54Give me a hug.
03:59I forgot you can't move.
04:02Let me hug you.
04:06What is your wish?
04:07I will grant it.
04:08I want to die.
04:09And you want to live.
04:10You are the only person who ever protected me.
04:13I give my life to you.
04:15Drag those demons to hell for me.
04:18A vampire's power is immense, but no one can save a heart that has already chosen to die.
04:23That night, the Blackwoods lost a daughter no one cared about.
04:31And inside that coffin, a demon was resurrected.
04:48Where can I be?
04:49Where can I be?
04:52Where can I be?
04:54Where can I be?
05:02I was for revenge.
05:03I arrived back at the manor on the very day of the adopted daughter's coming of age ball.
05:09The Grand Hall was resplendent and magnificent.
05:12Everyone gathered around Chloe with jewels and silks piled at her feet.
05:18i heard today is evelyn's birthday too really i didn't know these are the family heirlooms left
05:23by your grandmother i wouldn't give them to anyone else only to my chloe
05:30i knew mother loved me most of all sebastian the heir to the earl of blackwood stepped forward and
05:37presented a huge five colored agate cream i specifically requested this from prince hedrick
05:43only you are worthy of it hundred now that was a pleasant surprise i have petitioned the king
05:49once you come of age the prince himself will officially announce your engagement
05:58i pushed open the large door my leather boots clicking crisply against the marble floor
06:05then what about me
06:11you shouldn't be here
06:17what gift do i get
06:20the guests all looked annoyed at being interrupted sebastian stared at me coldly with disgust in his
06:26eyes how dare you return to this house do you have any idea how much chloe suffered because of your
06:33disappearance sebastian please don't i've already forgiven evelyn even though she pushed me into the
06:40lake even though she stole my jewels even though she nearly cost me my life more than once i choose
06:45to let it go evelyn please just kneel and beg father and mother for mercy the last time chloe tried
06:51to
06:51show her any affection she was nearly drowned i have but one daughter and her name is chloe
06:58chloe do not sicken me with the presence of this creature chloe blinked at me
07:03evelyn just apologize
07:07what are you waiting for kneel kneel
07:10the earl glared at me
07:14i stared straight at the earl
07:17everything she has
07:18don't i deserve it as well
07:21you dare compare yourself to chloe
07:24you are a lowly slut who tried to seduce a stable boy sebastian flew into a towering
07:29you are a stain upon this family
07:32if chloe hadn't been shielding you all this time you would have rotted long ago
07:35i let out a cold sneer who told you i eloped
07:38chloe walked slowly toward me still wearing her innocent disguise
07:41evelyn don't be afraid we will keep your secret
07:44i've destroyed that love letter you wrote to the stable boy
07:47as long as you kneel and beg forgiveness we can still be a family
07:51you aren't worth her shadow
07:53if you weren't my flesh and blood i would have left you to the wolves
07:56chloe slipped her arm affectionately through mine and leaned in close to my ear
08:01her nails dug sharply into my skin as she lowered her voice
08:04you're quite lucky bitch
08:06i can't believe you didn't die out there
08:10so it was you who spread the rumors about me and the stable boy
08:13sister are you blaming me i didn't mean to
08:17i moved in an instant and dislocated her jaw with one swift motion
08:24the earl roared furiously the plump and vicious maid beside chloe was the first to rush forward
08:30i delivered a backward sidekick breaking her leg bone
08:33at the same time the dining knife in my hand was already pressed against chloe's neck
08:39trying my tone was cold and calm sebastian drew his sword and prepared to charge forward
08:45another bloodstain appeared on chloe's cheek
08:47my face
08:49help me
08:51scream one more time and i'll cut out your tongue
08:55all the guests were forced back behind the earl
08:57i stepped heavily onto the chest of the wailing clock
09:00how did your mistress really end up in the lake
09:03the maid was drenched in cold sweat from the pain
09:06you were jealous of lady chloe you tried to murder her
09:10you pushed her in i'll give you gifts anything don't hurt my chloe
09:16the silver knife in my hand skimmed past the counterfeit cheek
09:20next time i'll aim for your eyes
09:23if they are blind to the truth then they are of no use to you
09:27i gave you a chance you wasted it
09:32still refusing to tell the truth
09:35i inserted the tip of the knife into the joint of the fat maid's shoulder and slowly turned the handle
09:42this kind of pain isn't immediately fatal but it drags its victim straight into hell
09:47long ago when i was an assassin at alexander's side
09:51helping him eliminate his political rivals
09:53i studied countless ways to make people suffer
09:57stop we'll give you whatever you want
10:00chloe's quarters the inheritance
10:01even the prince's engagement
10:03put down the knife and we can negotiate
10:07come here
10:08i'll tell you exactly what i want
10:10before he could draw his knife
10:12my hand had already grabbed his neck
10:14i threw the unconscious him onto the ground
10:18did i give you permission to speak
10:20idiot
10:20i looked back at the trembling count speaking gently
10:24now does anyone else have an objection
10:27do as she says no one move
10:31i smiled contentedly and patted the maid's face with that dagger
10:35now tell the truth
10:38evelyn returning from the countryside
10:41was hated from the very moment she stepped foot in the manor
10:44on her first day back
10:46chloe had deliberately cut her own arm to frame her
10:49she destroyed the christening gown
10:51evelyn had painstakingly embroidered for the countess
10:54replacing it with a pile of rags
10:56she even laced the earl's medicine with slow acting poison
10:59only to claim that evelyn was the one trying to murder her own father
11:03mother evelyn tried to kill me
11:04no i didn't
11:06it was lady chloe's orders
11:08everything was her doing
11:12she was jealous
11:13that you were the earling count's biological daughter
11:16while she was merely adopted
11:18that's why she wanted you dead
11:20that day
11:21lady chloe jumped into the lake on purpose
11:23just to frame you
11:24and when you were locked in the chapel for it
11:27chloe offered to bring you food
11:28but she never brought a single scrap
11:30instead she ordered the guards herorize you in the dead of night
11:33evelyn had survived on the servants left over
11:35so much suffering endured in her very own home
11:38she had returned with a heart full of hope
11:41only to find that the family who should have loved her offered nothing but hatred
11:46she forged the love letters saying you ran away with a servant but in truth
11:51she bribed bandits in the wilderness to kill you to make you vanish forever
11:59the count said helplessly
12:01take chloe away
12:02the gate was violently rammed open
12:04dare to touch her
12:09evelyn you despicable mad woman
12:11you dare harm my betrothed
12:13i will see you burn to ashes upon the pyre
12:17oh to arrest the true born daughter of this house within her own father's manner
12:22have you asked for their consent
12:24the count dropped his eyes
12:25the count just stammered for a while
12:27then closed her mouth
12:33do you honestly believe that by ruining chloe you can marry me
12:36ridiculous
12:37i will make you pay for every sin you have committed
12:40kill her
12:42i have only one sister
12:44and that is chloe
12:47even when faced with the truth
12:49you still choose to shield her
12:51the truth
12:52as a prince if i say chloe is innocent then she is innocent
12:55and you
12:56you are nothing but a murderer driven mad by jealousy
12:59take her away
13:00bring her to the high tribunal
13:02tell the lord justice to ensure this venomous woman is punished to the full extent of the law
13:06in the shadows judge bell slowly emerged
13:09but instead of looking at hadrich
13:10he knelt on one knee in front of him
13:12my apologies prince hadrich
13:13i'm afraid i cannot feel
13:18so sorry your highness
13:19by order of the king
13:21anyone in this room who seeks to harm me
13:24is to be thrown and thrown into the dungeon
13:37i granted you your revenge did i not
13:40yet now you take the power i gave you and use it against my own son
13:45your temperament
13:46i lazily leaned back on the velvet lounge chair
13:50squinting in the sun without looking at him
13:52i recalled our meeting half a month ago
13:54i had gone to the convent to see the queen mother
13:57and there i crossed paths with the king
14:00in a single fluid strike
14:02i had unhorsed him
14:05i stepped on his scapula and grabbed his neck
14:09the guards were about to rush forward to kill me
14:12but he waved his hand and told them to back off
14:15your recent series of actions are very much like my first love
14:18who passed away many years ago
14:21lillian
14:22how absurd
14:23i was lillian
14:24before his queen had me nailed into a coffin
14:28now
14:28wearing evelyn's face to play the part of my former self it
14:32was of course a perfect reflection
14:34who better to play the ghost than the woman herself
14:38i want you to be my mistress
14:40and the condition i set was simple
14:42you must kill chloe for me
14:48as you wish
14:51alexander had grown old
14:52he had become mellow
14:54his former ruthlessness weathered away
14:56he no longer has the stomach to meddle in the private affairs of his ministers
15:00he only commanded the lord justice to assist me
15:03whether i succeeded or failed depended entirely on my own hands
15:08so i chose a blood soaked path for the interrogation
15:12with the lord justice standing witness and the evidence irrefutable
15:16they all broke and confessed
15:18then came prince hedrick
15:19eager to vent his fury on behalf of his fiance
15:23alexander hoped i would spare his son
15:25i refused
15:26he nearly died as a child
15:27and the queen has cuddled him ever since
15:29to see hedrick turn out like this
15:32it is a profound disappointment
15:35just disappointment?
15:36i looked up at him and met his gaze
15:38he once told lillian that this was the look he loved most
15:42her majesty
15:43the queen
15:44juliana it has been a long time
15:46i had meticulously orchestrated prince hydrich's downfall
15:50just for the chance to see you again
15:52i hope you are ready to receive the grand gift i have prepared for you
15:56queen juliana maintained a dignified demeanor
15:59upon spotting the silver blade in my hand
16:03hedrick is still young
16:04he was merely led astray by some wicked influence
16:06and acted out of impulse
16:07as queen
16:09i have failed to guide the crown pence
16:10i am willing to sequester myself in saint mary's convent to repent for my failings and beg for god's mercy
16:17her majesty has been ill for months
16:20today to confess her fault she nearly collapsed on the journey
16:23it was a calculated gamble
16:26the normans
16:27standing behind juliana
16:29controlled a third of the empire's iron mines and its military
16:33if she and hedrick were penalized
16:35the normans would not take it lying down
16:37and the cabinet would be thrown into a frenzy once more
16:40what alexander loathed most
16:43was the sight of those nobles bickering incessantly in the council chambers
16:46she believed this ruse would work just as it always had
16:50unfortunately she underestimated my hand
16:53my lady
16:54in the presence of the king
16:55does a mere servant now have the right to speak
17:02this wicked influence the queen speaks of
17:05does she mean me
17:06or is she referring to that woman of dubious origin chloe
17:11you are the one i love
17:12if you were wicked would that make me the lord of hell
17:17since this woman called chloe is so insidious
17:20manipulating the prince's mercy and plotting to murder of the royal family
17:22i shall sentence her
17:25no father
17:27presumptuous
17:27if you do not wake from that woman's spell this instant
17:30i will personally send her to meet god
17:32mother chloe is innocent
17:34she is as pure as an angel
17:36merely framed by a wicked soul
17:37her face is already ruined
17:39she has suffered more than enough
17:40as the mistress of this kingdom
17:42you should be protecting a fragile woman like her
17:44his highness remains unconvinced
17:47why not let him visit the chamber of inquisition
17:50and witness the interrogation himself
17:52the chamber has 72 methods of torture
17:54no one emerges alive
17:56hedrick has never seen such carnage
17:59i fear it will shatter his mind
18:01instead of wasting your breath begging me
18:03you would be better off educating your useless son
18:07continue to pample him
18:08and he will be fit for nothing but exile to the frozen wastes of the north
18:11i suppose this counts as me settling the score for you
18:15i am not entirely satisfied
18:18but since you stood up for me
18:20i shall ensure you are satisfied as well
18:22three days later
18:24the once dan arrogant prince hedrick collapsed
18:27broken by illness
18:29word spread that he had watched
18:31paralyzed
18:32as chloe was torn apart
18:34her blood slicking the stone floor
18:36with her final ebbing strength
18:38she had clawed at his boots
18:40sobbing
18:43he had fled the scene in a fit of pure
18:45unadulterated terror
18:47but he remained ignorant of the truth
18:49the blade i used to mark chloe
18:51had been dipped in a vampiric hallucinogen
18:54now every time he closes his eyes
18:58he sees the spectral image of chloe
19:00you promised we would be together forever hydric
19:03i was not content with merely shattering a prince's sanity
19:06i took the blood zan crusted gown chloe wore during her agony
19:10sealed it within an exquisite gift box
19:13and had it delivered to the earl's manor
19:15i heard the countess had coughed up blood
19:18and fallen into a coma on the spot
19:20the blackwoods once steeped in glory
19:22have become the premier laughing stock of the social season
19:25that my air should be so utterly spinless
19:28this shame is a fate far worse than death
19:33alexander sought lillian's ghost within me
19:36with a fervor bordering on madness
19:38he craved that specific reckless arrogance in my soul
19:41that untamed defiance
19:43he came to my chambers almost every day
19:46heaping favor jewels
19:47and power at my feet
19:49like offerings when passion ran high
19:51and emotions were intense
19:52he bit my earlobe and murmured absent-mindedly
19:55lillian
19:58your majesty
19:59look closely
20:00i am evelyn
20:01true
20:02she was never this submissive
20:04if juliana had dared to call her a witch
20:06she would have slapped her right in front of me
20:08i hadn't always been so overbearing
20:11the only time i had struck juliana
20:13was when she pointed at my swollen belly
20:15and whispered with a sickening smile
20:17you have spilled too much blood
20:20you are not worthy of bearing royal seeds
20:22even if you carry it to term
20:24there is no guarantee you will bring forth a living soul
20:27the cost of that impulse
20:29i was sentenced to kneel for a full night
20:31in the cold i lost the child that had been in my womb for eight months
20:35only much later did i learn that when juliana approached me that day
20:39she was carried a scent infused with abortifacients
20:42from the very beginning she had marked that child for death
20:45my child died in her shadow
20:47thus her son shall never know peace within these palace walls
20:52what about lillian
20:53how did she die
20:55i asked softly my fingertips brushing over the spot where his heart was
21:00alexander's body stiffened instantly
21:02he withdrew his hand from my long hair
21:04then turned around
21:05it is late
21:06sleep
21:07i cannot sleep
21:08my mind is haunted by the memory of my brother
21:11the year alexander went on his great campaign
21:14juliana's brother led the holy army to besiege my estate
21:17juliana dragged my brother
21:19and forced him before me to demand my surrender
21:22you die or he dies
21:24make your choice
21:25my family the house of mortani
21:27had been falsely accused by the late king
21:29every soul was slaughtered
21:30only my brother and i remained
21:32i became alexander's shadow
21:34an assassin killing anyone whom he wished to eliminate
21:37all for the day i could clear our name
21:40and all to keep that boy alive
21:42while hedrick played on rocking horses within the palace
21:45my brother had already sworn an oath to reclaim our family's justice
21:49even with juliana's blade at his throat
21:52he remained fearless
21:56don't worry about me
21:58just run
21:59if she dares to flee i will flay you alive
22:04it doesn't hurt i'm a man i can take it
22:07i threw the knife in my hand
22:08a sword pierced my chest from behind at the same time
22:12the one who struck me was my most trusted confidante
22:15my closest friend
22:16that woman still lives within these palace walls
22:19quietly savoring her wealth and status
22:22her life is a debt that must now be paid
22:25the court held a grand autumn hunting dinner
22:28juliana forced herself to maintain her pride
22:31gritting her teeth in hatred
22:32i defiantly touched my lower abdomen
22:35and gave her a creepy smile
22:36the wine glass in juliana's hand was almost crushed by her
22:40i got up and left the table
22:42alexander looked worried saying
22:44be careful
22:45i have this
22:46don't worry
22:47selena was standing nervously in the moonlight waiting for me
22:51are they still alive?
22:52what more do you want from me?
22:55kneel
22:55i brushed her hand away in disgust
22:57she froze
22:58meeting my cold gaze
22:59and finally slowly knelt on the ground
23:02yes
23:03my lady
23:04this place is nowhere near as good as the big courtyard you used to live in
23:07what's going on?
23:08doesn't juliana treat you well?
23:10i failed to bear a child for the king
23:12this is the fate i deserve
23:13what do you want?
23:15pay more frequent visits to the queen
23:17since her precious son is bedroom
23:19it is only fitting that you go and offer your compassion
23:24if i do this
23:25will you release my family?
23:29you are in no position to bargain with me
23:31that year she was the only one who had read my brother's letter
23:34the hand that sold us out belonged to her
23:37selena
23:37blood for blood
23:38what made her think she had the right to negotiate
23:41from the moment i delivered the keepsakes of her mother and brother into her hands
23:45it was settled every day until her death
23:47she would know no peace
23:49on my way back to the banquet i was stopped by lady aurora
23:53you look remarkably like an old friend of mine
23:55i know
23:56the king told me
23:57i'm just a stand-in for his first love
23:59but with plenty to eat and the king's favor
24:02why should i complain?
24:03the current situation is a golden opportunity for prince derrick
24:06the king is desperate for an able son
24:08a chance like this won't come again
24:13aurora tightly grasped my hand
24:16the scales of power in the kingdom began to tilt entirely
24:19at the subtle agitation of my fingertips
24:22hedrick fell ill
24:23and the ambitious derrick finally got his chance to shine at the round table council
24:28his mother
24:29lady aurora
24:30was once my favorite handmaiden at the estate
24:33back then she would follow me timidly calling me sister lillian in a soft obedient voice
24:40whenever i returned to the manor covered in blood
24:43she would stand at the end of the long gallery waiting with warm water to clean my wounds
24:48the two people i trusted most deeply
24:50one was aurora whom i'd raised from nothing
24:53the other was selena
24:54whom i'd saved from ruin
24:56yet in the end
24:57selena traded my brother's whereabouts to juliana for a royal title
25:01and aurora drove a dagger into my back
25:03buying safety for herself and her son
25:05later to be named lady aurora
25:08neither of them shall escape
25:09now armed with the evidence i provided
25:12aurora has had a duke
25:14from the queen's lineage imprisoned for corruption
25:16derrick relentlessly curries favor with the people
25:19leaving hedrick gasping for air under his pressure
25:22within the palace walls
25:24aurora openly aligns with me
25:26catching the queen completely off guard
25:29aurora raised her glass to me in the garden
25:31a venomous coldness lurking in her smile
25:34thank you for the gift dear evelyn
25:36unfortunately the old duke was too cowardly to name hidebooks before he died
25:41evidence doesn't matter
25:43perception is everything prince derrick should understand that
25:47aurora's smile faded instantly
25:49she thinks she is the hunter
25:51what she doesn't know is that the true hunter often wears the guise of prey
