00:05Dorian, please help me
00:12Vivian, it's done
00:13I got her here, just like you asked
00:16Once she dies in this flash flood
00:18You'll be the sole heir to Ashfield
00:23Dear sister
00:24Your little fox is really useful, isn't he?
00:36I'm back
00:38Back to six years ago
00:39The familiar auction
00:41I'm not dead, not yet
00:50Go on, Serena, choose me
00:51You did before
00:56That one, open it
01:11Serena, what are you doing?
01:13You promised me
01:14You said you'd pick me to repay my favor
01:19Is that so?
01:21I don't really remember
01:24Hear that, white fox?
01:26She's done with you
01:27She doesn't even see you as her life maker
01:39What's your name?
01:42Kale
01:43My lady, please be careful
01:44This wolf familiar is dangerous
01:46He's already bitten two trainers in the arena
01:48He doesn't obey at all
01:49The risk, it's way too high
01:56Serena, stop
01:57You promised me
01:59When I fully took shape
02:00You'd only recognize me as your one contract servant
02:03You said it yourself
02:04I already told you
02:06It was a long time ago
02:08I don't remember
02:14Sister
02:15Since this silver fox knows you
02:17There must be some fate here
02:18Why don't
02:19Why don't I take him?
02:21I can keep him close
02:22So you won't have any regrets later
02:27Let's go, Kale
02:33Let me make one thing clear
02:36If we form a bond
02:39You'll only have me
02:40I don't share
02:43And
02:44I've got a bad temper
02:46I don't know how to serve people
02:48Come here
02:52My lady
02:56Don't know how to serve?
02:58That's fine
02:59You'll learn
03:01Slowly
03:03But tonight
03:05We bind our blood first
03:07By the blood of the master
03:09And the soul of the familiar
03:11This bond is sealed
03:12The familiar shall be bound to the master for life
03:15Should betrayal ever take root
03:17The soul shall shatter
03:19The spirit disperse
03:21And it shall never be reborn
03:27If it hurts
03:28Just bite me
03:33First time making a bond?
03:37So you're some kind of expert
03:40Done this with other familities before?
03:45Dorian and Kale
03:46Couldn't have been more different
03:48Dorian was like a pine tree in the snow
03:50Cold, classy
03:51And impossible
03:52You had to coax him forever
03:54Just to get him to give an inch
03:56But Kale
03:57Kale though
03:58Was like a winter river
03:59Running dark and deep
04:00Calm on top
04:01But underneath
04:02Wild, loyal
04:03And waiting in the wings
04:06This kind of wolf
04:07Once it picks a path
04:09It doesn't turn back
04:17I'm going to wash up
04:31What do you want?
04:32My lady
04:33Miss Vivian asked me to bring you some fresh spirit fruits
04:37My lady
04:38In his last life
04:39He formed a bond with me
04:40Yet he never once addressed me properly
04:42Always claiming that was just the way he was
04:45And now after following Vivian for barely half a day
04:48He's already changed his tune
04:51What dignity
04:53He just didn't think I was worth lowering himself
04:55Leave them
04:56You can go now
04:58My lady
04:59Why did you choose a wolf familiar?
05:01He's aggressive by nature
05:03He's hardly the kind of familiar that should be by your side
05:08That is none of your business
05:11So back then everything you said was just to make me happy
05:15From the start
05:17You never really planned to bring me in, did you?
05:24Cut the fox charm
05:27Try that stun on her again
05:29And I'll break your fox neck
05:41Father
05:41I know Serena has never really liked me
05:44I'm not here to complain
05:46I just
05:47I never expected her familiar to be so cruel
05:52Last night I saw Serena humiliate Dorian in front of everyone
05:56I felt so bad for him
05:59So I brought him back with me and tried to cheer him up
06:03I thought maybe they're just in some misunderstanding between him and Serena
06:08So I asked him to bring her some fresh fruit and patch things up with her
06:13I never thought it'd end up like this
06:16Dorian got roughed up by her wolf familiar like this
06:20There's a saying
06:22You don't hit someone's dog without asking first
06:25And Dorian's my servant
06:27Serena didn't even stop him
06:30This is just meant to embarrass me, isn't it?
06:35I know Serena is the heir
06:37The eldest
06:37The future lady of the estate
06:39Whatever happens at home
06:41It's always her say
06:42And me
06:43I'm merely a bastard daughter
06:45Ever since mother passed
06:47No one's been looking out for me
06:49In her final moments
06:51She kept calling father's name
06:57How touching
06:59Vivian's mother died
07:00And father wept for a whole night
07:02But when my mother
07:05Eleanor, the one who built all of this
07:07Died when I was eight
07:08He didn't shed a single tear
07:11Now he says he won't let Vivian be wronged
07:15So I guess that means I'm the one who's supposed to suffer, right?
07:21Serena!
07:21Look at your familiar
07:23How dare it behave like this?
07:26That wolf is savage and has no discipline
07:28And it attacked someone right here in Ashford
07:31I told you from the start
07:33That wolf fililians are impossible to tame
07:37They're not fit to serve as personal bonded servants
07:39But you refuse to listen
07:41Today it attacked Vivian's servant
07:44What about tomorrow?
07:45Will it go after Vivian herself?
07:47And the day after that?
07:49Will it turn on the entire Ashford family?
07:51On me!
07:52Someone!
07:53Drag this monster out and deal with it according to our family rules
07:59Sister
08:00Kale is just a familiar
08:01Don't let this come between you and father, okay?
08:04Kale made the first move
08:05So he should be punished
08:07I trust this wasn't your doing
08:10He just went and acted on his own, right?
08:14Kale
08:15Outside you can do whatever you want
08:17But in Ashfield
08:18You follow my rules
08:21If you ever lay a hand on someone in public again
08:23I won't cover for you
08:28I understand, my lady
08:31Go serve your punishment
08:33Let this be a lesson
08:55Oh, easy there
08:58We wouldn't want to break Serena's new toy on the very first day, would we?
09:06I know why she's gloating
09:07She thinks she's beaten me at last
09:11Finally seeing the one I care about humiliated like this
09:14Pathetic
09:16Look at Dorian
09:17Why is he so bitter?
09:19I gave him exactly what he wanted
09:21I let him go to Vivian
09:23I even gave whatever it is between them a chance
09:26So what does he still have to resent?
09:29And why does he keep provoking Kale over and over again?
09:35Enough
09:36We'll leave it here for today
09:39Sister, only ten
09:40And we're stopping already
09:41Kale attacked Dorian
09:43And the marks on his neck are still there
09:46Isn't that punishment a little too light?
09:54What else do you want, Vivian?
09:56His life?
09:57Dorian's injury is hardly serious
09:59A fox for Lilia would recover from that in three days
10:02Making a fuss over something this minor just makes you look petty
10:08You
10:09Oh right, sister
10:11I almost forgot
10:12Father said you've been so busy lately
10:16The Northern Territory
10:18The heart of Ashfield's wealth
10:19The Spiritstone Mines
10:21The Herb Estates
10:23Everything my mother, Eleanor, spent half her life building
10:26And now Edmund wants to hand it all over to Vivian
10:30Looks like she's helping me out
10:33But really
10:34She's trying to worm her way into the Ashford family itself
10:41Co-manageage?
10:42Honestly, Vivian, I couldn't ask for more
10:44Thank you
10:46Sister
10:47You're so easy to please today
10:49Then I won't hold back
10:58Stay still
10:58I need to check the wound
11:07I'm sorry
11:09I know you only acted to stop his fox charm
11:11But for now you'll have to take the punishment on your own
11:15There won't be a next time
11:20What's the big deal?
11:22It's only natural for a lady to punish her own familiar
11:28Besides, you don't need to protect me
11:30I'm the one who's supposed to shield you from the storm
11:34Shield me from the storm?
11:35It's been ages since anyone ever said that
11:39I've been the only heir since I was little
11:41I had to master management, negotiation, and always be flawless before the elders
11:46Nobody ever said they'd protect me
11:48And now, some wolf cub who's been mine for just a day
11:51Says it like it's the most natural thing in the world
11:58Fine, I've got it
12:01Whatever happens, I'll keep my word
12:02Since you took me out of that cage, I'm loyal to you
12:06Forever
12:10And what if I lied to you?
12:12What if one day you find out I've been using you all along?
12:23Alright, I won't tease you anymore
12:26Rest up, and in a few days come with me to the Northern Territory
12:29That's where the real game begins
12:55Hey sister
12:57Why not bring Kale to check his level too?
13:00Maybe he's leveled up and could make you look good
13:03No thank you
13:05People test a familiar's rank when they're planning to sell it for a better price
13:10Fortunately, I haven't fallen so low that I need to trade away my own familiar for a share of the
13:14family's assets
13:21Besides, a rank gained through potions is little more than decoration
13:25If you really want a tenth rank family a sister
13:28You'll have to spend a lot more than you already have
13:36Even if it's just for show, it's still better than your familiar
13:39That low-born wolf
13:40No matter how many potions you give him, he's never going to amount to anything
13:54My lady
13:55Let me take the test
13:57I'm no worse than that fox
14:02It's okay
14:03It doesn't matter to me
14:04All right, hurry it up
14:05Put your right hand on the stone
14:06Next
14:28Oh my god
14:30Look at the runes
14:32The testing stone
14:33The testing stone is cracking
14:42Impossible
14:43That's a tenth reek family
14:45A supreme class family mid-tier
15:01I told you
15:02I'm no worse than that fox
15:04Even in my past life
15:05Not even the Empire's strongest royal guards could touch this level
15:08Kale
15:09Who exactly are you?
15:14Actually
15:16I'm not from a normal pack
15:18I ran away from somewhere else
15:20But now I'm yours
15:21Only yours
15:27I understand
15:28You're with me now
15:30And that's enough
15:39All those potions wasted for nothing
15:42And you still can't beat a single wolf
15:45Useless
15:46Get lost
15:56Come on, Kale
15:58Come on, Kale
16:13Off to the Northern Territory
16:16Let's see what my dear sister has in store for us
16:23I'm alive
16:25and I love you
16:27And I love you
16:33I'm not even
16:35You
16:35I love you
16:51My lady, please, I need to talk to you.
17:16You again. What the hell do you want this time?
17:36My lady, please, have Kale leave for a moment. I have to tell you this secret alone.
17:45Remember what happened last time? He's no good. Don't listen to a word he says.
17:58Wait. If he wanted to make a move, he wouldn't pick now. Go wait by the gate. I'll stay here.
18:06Go. That's an order. Go on. Make sure this secret's worth my attention.
18:26My lady, I'm begging you. Just give me another chance.
18:36You want to kneel? Kneel to your master, Viviana. I'm not the one holding your leash anymore.
18:46I'm sorry, Serena. I was wrong. I shouldn't have betrayed you. I shouldn't have just stood there and watched those
18:54rocks crash you, watching you die in that valley.
18:57I have no idea what you're talking about. You're losing your mind, Dorian.
19:01I know. I know nobody's gonna believe me if I say it. But it's true. Every single word of it.
19:12I've been having the same dream over and over for days. In it, I'm your familiar. You're so kind to
19:18me, helping me through the shift. And I swear in the dream I'll always be loyal to you.
19:24Never betray you, but I broke it. I fell for Vivian. She got into my head, kept feeding me lies,
19:31and before I knew it, I was leading you straight to your death. In the dream, as the flood was
19:36swallowing you whole, you said you only did all that because I saved your life.
19:41Seeing you die right in front of me, and being powerless to stop it. That feeling, it's worse than dying.
19:50At first, I thought it was just a dream. But then the details started getting clearer and clearer. More real.
19:56More vivid.
19:58And then came that day at the auction. The day you chose Kyle.
20:02That's when it finally hit me. It wasn't a dream at all. It was what happened before. The ending we
20:10actually got in our last life.
20:12We are meant to be together, Serena. If all of that really happened, if Vivian got in my head and
20:20made me screw everything up, then maybe we can do it over this time.
20:27I've wanted to tell you the truth for so long. I've wanted to tell you to apologize. To make up
20:34for what I did. But because of Vivian, I couldn't just come out and say it. I was afraid she'd
20:39hurt you.
20:50Serena, you really don't remember at all. Back at Siren Lake, you fell in the water. I jumped in and
20:56pulled you out.
20:58The Ashford family even gave me a Shapeshing potion as thanks. I've been looking for you ever since.
21:17It was all Vivian. She's crazy. She was jealous that you were the rightful heir. Ever since she found out
21:24I saved you back then.
21:26She's been yelling at me. Hitting me. Taking out all her jealousy and hate on me.
21:33I was going to just bear it in silence. But I was scared. Scared she'd go after you. Scared you'd
21:38end up like last time.
21:40Let me be your firmance, Serena. I haven't bonded with Vivian yet. That wolf is just a brute. He can
21:46only fight. But I'm different. I'm skilled in fox charm.
21:50I know countless secrets about Vivian. I can help you win over the council elders. Get rid of Edmund's old
21:56allies.
21:57Take down anyone standing in the way of you inheriting your lands. And do you really not have any feelings
22:03for me at all?
22:17Let me think about it.
22:26I was only twelve back then. The lake was freezing that early spring. The second I fell in it felt
22:32like the water swallowed me whole.
22:34I couldn't breathe. I couldn't tell which way was up. I didn't even have time to call for help.
22:56Oh, that makes sense. No wonder I treated Dorian that way last time. I always thought I was just returning
23:02the favor.
23:04Maybe it wasn't just about paying him back. I was clinging to this one crazy idea that someone, at some
23:11point, had chosen me without a second thought.
23:22The light was still on. And the tea is cold. And the tea, drink it.
23:28Okay.
23:40Kale, if someone saved your life when you were a kid, and for years you let them walk all over
23:46you, betray your trust, push you around, would you call that loyalty or just plain stupid?
23:53Neither.
24:01If someone saved your life, you're not wrong for being grateful.
24:06What's wrong is the person using that gratitude to make you sacrifice the rest of your life.
24:14People who really care don't keep throwing what they did in your face.
24:19If someone won't stop saying they saved you.
24:28You're surprisingly good at figuring things out for me.
24:32I'm not saying this to make you feel better. That's just how it is.
24:47Made it on the road. It's nothing fancy.
24:51But it carries my manner.
24:53Keep it under your pillow if you have bad dreams.
25:01Over the years, Dorian gave me all kinds of gifts.
25:05Every one of them was exquisite, chosen with just the right touch.
25:11But I'd never owned a taliman like this one.
25:15It was rough, simple, not particularly valuable, and honestly not even all that pretty.
25:20And for some reason it made my chest warm.
25:23Like finally someone wasn't trying to cheer me up.
25:27They just figured I'd be hurt and wanted to take the blow for me.
25:31Kale, what if you find out I'm not the good person you think I am?
25:36What if I'm cold, ruthless, and willing to sacrifice anyone including you to get what I want?
25:41Sit inside. I'm afraid I'll dream about the lake tonight.
25:48Okay.
26:21Father, this ride is awful. The cushions are thin as paper, and these snacks are ridiculously sweet.
26:27Tell them to go back and get something better, will you?
26:31Vivian!
26:32Vivian! Cut it out!
26:34You're not a spoiled child anymore. Act your age.
26:53Ah.
26:54So Dorian was the one who whispered in Father's ear before we left, making him lose patience with Vivianna.
27:01He's showing me his value. He's proving he can be a very useful dog.
27:13What's wrong? Not used to the carriage?
27:16No. It's just⊠the way some people look at me makes me uncomfortable.
27:21No.
27:30In this world a master can only bind one Familia.
27:33To break that bond and form a new one, the Familia must undergo soul fracture.
27:39Some lose their consciousness and are left as little more than empty Hux. Others are less unfortunate.
27:44Their souls are shattered beyond recovery.
27:46And yet, Dorian is perfectly willing to let Kale suffer that agony just so he can crawl back to my
27:50side.
27:51He is just as cold and ruthless as he was in our past life.
27:54Fine.
27:56We'll see.
27:58We'll see.
28:04We'll see.
28:05The Relice ferries to heaven.
28:12You're up.
28:17My lord, it's been a long journey. I've put together a feast to help you refresh yourself after the road.
28:24Perfect! Lead the way!
28:29And one more thing, my lord. You have to see Cyryn's Lake tomorrow.
28:33The manna there is unlike anywhere else around. And it's the pride of the region.
28:38You don't come here every day, so it'd be a real shame to miss it.
28:41Lord Hargrain is right. Father, you've worked so hard for the family.
28:46You deserve some rest by the lake.
28:49And Vivian should come too. It's beautiful.
28:55Yes! Vivian, you must join us tomorrow.
28:59Of course, father. I'd love to.
29:18My lord, your daughters are truly generous. Letting their familiots dine at the same table. We don't see that kind
29:25of kindness every day.
29:26...
29:28...
29:34Darian!
29:35Get up! Stand in the back.
29:37A familiar is just a servant.
29:39Have you forgotten your manners?
29:45Yes, my lord.
30:01Father, Vivian was gravely ill last week, and Dorian stayed up for nights to nurse her back to health.
30:07Besides, since Dorian will assist Vivian in managing the Northern Territory in the future, we shouldn't treat him like a
30:12mere servant.
30:13After all, we're all Ashford's here, aren't we?
30:21Serena's right! It's only a meal! We're family, after all! Everyone, have a seat!
