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,
00:00:25the ridiculous shred of hope still flickered in my heart years ago.
00:00:28When I was in a desperate situation, the young Ronan saved my life.
00:00:36That kindness became my lifelong obsession.
00:00:39But he had no idea that I was the sole pure-blooded daughter of the High Elfin King.
00:00:48When I met with disaster in my youth, I was rescued by him,
00:00:54the lord of a mere mid-tier Elfin Kingdom.
00:00:57To repay that debt, I concealed my supreme identity,
00:01:02even using a forbidden ritual to seal away the radiant wings of nature
00:01:08on my back that symbolized supreme divine authority.
00:01:12I willingly became an ordinary female elf with no background,
00:01:17marrying into his territory.
00:01:19Under a false name for years, I remained gentle and submissive,
00:01:24using my own pure-blooded manna to nourish his family,
00:01:28all for a sliver of his affection.
00:01:35Yet, I could never warm a heart of stone.
00:01:38In Ronan's heart, there was only ever room for his first love,
00:01:44Vanessa.
00:01:48The agony intensified,
00:01:50as the mana and bloodlines within my body surged in a violent reverse flow.
00:01:56But I held on to my last strength.
00:01:58Yet, all that arrived was a cold, ruthless message from a god.
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,
00:02:24a soft, fragile wile finally shattered the silence of the infirmary.
00:02:29This was my daughter, a precious treasure,
00:02:33bought at the cost of all my manna.
00:02:36I named her Iris.
00:02:39At that exact moment, my personal guard rushed in to report.
00:02:43My lady!
00:02:44The lord has finished his external affairs,
00:02:47and has returned to the main manna 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,
00:02:57at least he would at least want to look at his newborn flesh and blood.
00:03:00Forcing my exhausted, severely depleted body up,
00:03:03I carefully held my daughter in her swaddling clothes,
00:03:05making my way toward the 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,
00:03:14I froze instantly,
00:03:16the blood in my veins turning to ice.
00:03:18My husband stood there, tall and elegant in his black robes,
00:03:23and right beside him stood a woman,
00:03:25the first love he had yearned for and never forgotten.
00:03:27It was Vanessa.
00:03:28What struck me like a bolt from the blue was that in front of them stood a little elfin boy,
00:03:32roughly three years old,
00:03:34with long pointed ears and a pair of eyes that flashed with a cunning disguised as inonence.
00:03:39Countless absurd possibilities flashed through my mind,
00:03:42my hands shook uncontrollably from shock and rage,
00:03:45but I forced myself to stand my ground,
00:03:48enduring the tearing pain of the postpartum mana reverse flow.
00:03:52Vanessa looked up and spotted me,
00:03:53her mouth curving into a flitting, provocative smirk.
00:03:56She intentionally leaned closer into Ronan's embrace,
00:04:00her voice soft yet dripping with malice.
00:04:02Ronan.
00:04:03So 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.
00:04:11He comforted her softly,
00:04:13even placing a lingering kiss upon her forehead,
00:04:17right in front of me.
00:04:19When he turned to me,
00:04:20his tone was piercingly cold and dismissive.
00:04:24Think nothing of it, Vanessa.
00:04:26You are my true love.
00:04:29I 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.
00:04:42Look 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,
00:04:49only naked disgust and annoyance.
00:04:51He swiftly averted his gaze,
00:04:53as though looking at his own flesh and blood for even a second longer
00:04:56would defile his relationship with Vanessa.
00:04:58Vanessa's gaze locked onto the infant in my arms,
00:05:01a flash of venom crossing her eyes.
00:05:04Promptly, she lifted her pitiful face,
00:05:07gazing 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,
00:05:17and suffered for three long years.
00:05:19He is your eldest son.
00:05:21The future heir of the Wind Kingdom.
00:05:24Looking at that three-year-old elfin child clinging to their side,
00:05:27I felt as if my soul had been 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,
00:05:38entirely devoid of guilt,
00:05:40and let out a righteous, cold snot.
00:05:43Good, you saw it.
00:05:44Saves me the trouble of explaining.
00:05:45When Vanessa left three years ago,
00:05:46she was already pregnant with my child!
00:05:48For these three years,
00:05:49she raised Jasper alone among foreign kingdoms,
00:05:51enduring endless grievance.
00:05:52Now that she has returned,
00:05:53I must make it them properly,
00:05:55restoring everything that belongs to them a thousand times over!
00:05:59I stared at the picture-perfect family of three before me,
00:06:02as a boundless despair swallowed me like a tidal wave.
00:06:07Just as I was on the verge of collapsing,
00:06:10Ronan's mother, Elodie,
00:06:11walked over hoarsely,
00:06:12flanked by attendants.
00:06:15Three-year-old Jasper was incredibly sweet-talked,
00:06:17twitching his delicate little elven ears.
00:06:19He immediately ran over on his short legs,
00:06:21and tightly hugged Elodie's leg.
00:06:25Grandma!
00:06:26I finally get to see you!
00:06:28Mother said you are the most benevolent
00:06:31and noble elder
00:06:33in the entire kingdom!
00:06:36Elodie,
00:06:37who was extremely superstitious about bloodlines and male esters,
00:06:40melted instantly.
00:06:42She gathered Jasper into her arms,
00:06:45treating him like her ultimate treasure.
00:06:47Seizing the moment,
00:06:49Vanessa leaned into Ronan's embrace,
00:06:51weeping with feigned grievance.
00:06:53It's all my fault!
00:06:55If I had been stronger,
00:06:58your perfect grandson
00:06:59wouldn't have spent three years
00:07:02starving in exile!
00:07:04Elodie's heart ached for them.
00:07:06She snapped her head around to look at me
00:07:08with my deathly pale face
00:07:10and my weakly wailing daughter,
00:07:13her eyes instantly turning into daggers
00:07:15of piercing disgust.
00:07:17You nearly died
00:07:19just to produce
00:07:22a magicless, useless girl?
00:07:25What a pathetic waste!
00:07:27Pack up that defective brat
00:07:29and drag yourselves
00:07:31to the Wythen Tower at the border
00:07:32right now!
00:07:33I won't let you bring your bad luck
00:07:35near my precious grandson!
00:07:39Ronan!
00:07:39Ronan!
00:07:40Iris is your flesh and blood, too!
00:07:44How can you just let them trample all over us?!
00:07:48But Ronan's face remained completely indifferent,
00:07:52his tone dripping with disdain.
00:07:54Mother is right.
00:07:56Jasper is the future
00:07:58and hope of Wind Kingdom.
00:08:01The daughter you gave birth to
00:08:03has a dull divine mark.
00:08:07She is utterly unworthy
00:08:08of living in the main manor.
00:08:12Going to the tower
00:08:14is your only option.
00:08:16Vanessa threw a provocative glance my way,
00:08:19squeezing her throat
00:08:20to spit out the most poison words.
00:08:23Loser.
00:08:23Since you possess no noble bloodline,
00:08:27Staying here
00:08:27will only bring you
00:08:29self-inflicted humiliation.
00:08:32Looking at their hypocritical,
00:08:34I clenched my fingers
00:08:35and the very last ember of gratitude within me
00:08:38was completely extinguished.
00:08:41The cold wind wowed through the withered tower,
00:08:44a place that never saw a single ray of moonlight.
00:08:48I held my frail little daughter close,
00:08:51huddling in the corner
00:08:52of the freezing stone wall.
00:08:54Having barely survived childbirth
00:08:56and with my manor completely burned out,
00:09:00my chest felt as if it were being torn apart.
00:09:03By ten thousand winds,
00:09:06just when I was completely helpless
00:09:09and desperate,
00:09:10the heavy wooden door of the tower
00:09:12was suddenly pushed open
00:09:14and Ronan walked in,
00:09:17silhouetted against the light.
00:09:19In that single instant,
00:09:21a ridiculous shred of hope
00:09:23actually flared up once more
00:09:26in my deadland heart.
00:09:28He was the child's father.
00:09:30Had he finally softened
00:09:32coming to bring some mana
00:09:33to ward off the cold?
00:09:36Or to take my daughter and me back?
00:09:38Forcing my mana-depleased body up,
00:09:40my pale lips trembled.
00:09:43Ronan!
00:09:43Did you come to see Iris?
00:09:45She caught a chill,
00:09:47and the divine mark on her forehead
00:09:49is 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
00:10:01were some kind of...
00:10:02I only came here to warn you.
00:10:06Stay in your withered tower quietly.
00:10:08Sign this declaration,
00:10:09relinquishing your rights
00:10:09as the primary mistress.
00:10:11And don't try any clever tricks.
00:10:13I felt as though
00:10:14I had been struck by lightning,
00:10:16taking a shocked step back.
00:10:17I stared firmly at the man.
00:10:20I had loved with my very life
00:10:22for three years.
00:10:24You came all the way
00:10:25to this desolate place,
00:10:27not to cast a single glance
00:10:29at your own daughter,
00:10:30but merely to force me
00:10:32to give up my position
00:10:34and to warn me!
00:10:36Ronan let out a cold laugh,
00:10:38his eyes filled with arrogance
00:10:40and a fierce protectiveness
00:10:42for Vanessa.
00:10:43Vanessa is kind-hearted.
00:10:46And she suffered terribly.
00:10:49While wandering among foreign kingdoms
00:10:51with our child.
00:10:52I will not allow anyone
00:10:53to disrupt Jasper's upbringing.
00:10:57I am warning you.
00:10:59Put away that jealous face of yours.
00:11:02Stay where you belong.
00:11:04And do not provoke Vanessa
00:11:05and her son
00:11:06if I discover that you dare
00:11:08to secretly harm them.
00:11:12Or attempt to steal the resources
00:11:14that belong to Jasper.
00:11:16I will absolutely show you
00:11:17no mercy!
00:11:19In the darkness,
00:11:20my daughter let out
00:11:21a faint, protesting cry.
00:11:23Ronan, however,
00:11:24did not bother to spare
00:11:25even a glance
00:11:26from the corner of his eye.
00:11:27He turned
00:11:28and departed resolutely,
00:11:30the heavy iron door
00:11:31slamming shut
00:11:31with a resounding thud.
00:11:33Holding my child,
00:11:34I collapsed into the freezing mud,
00:11:36laughing at my own stupidity.
00:11:38He came only to warn me.
00:11:41The night sky hung low
00:11:42as the freezing wind raged
00:11:44through the dead silence
00:11:46of the withered tower,
00:11:47preventing even a single
00:11:48slimmer of moonlight
00:11:49from penetrating the darkness.
00:11:51I had burned through
00:11:52the vast majority
00:11:53of my mana during childbirth.
00:11:55The magic within my body
00:11:56had completely dried up.
00:11:57I could only hold
00:11:58my little princess
00:11:59tightly in my arms,
00:12:00using my own faint body wheat
00:12:02to provide warmth
00:12:02for my infant,
00:12:03who was running
00:12:04a continuous low fever
00:12:05inside her swaddling clothes.
00:12:07Yet at this very moment,
00:12:09inside the Wind Kingdom's
00:12:10main temple,
00:12:11there was a completely
00:12:12different scene
00:12:13of brilliant lights,
00:12:15music,
00:12:16and extravagant luxury.
00:12:17Vanessa and her son
00:12:18sat on a soft couch
00:12:19covered in the rarest
00:12:20luminescent beast skins,
00:12:22basking in the attention
00:12:23and adoration
00:12:24of all the high-ranking elves
00:12:25in the kingdom.
00:12:27Three-year-old Jasper
00:12:28fluttered the tiny green
00:12:30Elbin wings
00:12:30that had just begun
00:12:31to develop on his back.
00:12:32Holding an exquisite
00:12:33Elbin sacred berry
00:12:34in his hands,
00:12:35his face
00:12:36completely smeared with juice,
00:12:37Elada sat high
00:12:38upon her throne,
00:12:40grinning from ear to ear,
00:12:41her eyes overflowing
00:12:43with a dotting pride.
00:12:44Watching this warm
00:12:45and harmonious scene,
00:12:46the more Elada
00:12:47looked at this
00:12:48chubby grandson,
00:12:49the more pleasing
00:12:50he seemed to her eye.
00:12:51Stroking the staff
00:12:52that symbolized her power
00:12:53as the High Priestess,
00:12:54she impatiently turned
00:12:55to prompt my husband,
00:12:57Ronan,
00:12:57who was standing beside her.
00:12:58Ronan,
00:12:59Vanessa and her son
00:13:00have wandered
00:13:01among foreign kingdoms
00:13:02for years,
00:13:03enduring endless hardships.
00:13:05Now my precious
00:13:06eldest grandson
00:13:07is already three years old,
00:13:09and the wind-attributed
00:13:10mana within his body
00:13:11is so abundant.
00:13:13How can he continue
00:13:14to stay in the guest room
00:13:16so illegitimately?
00:13:17Tonight,
00:13:18you must have
00:13:19Vanessa and Jasper
00:13:20officially move
00:13:21into the Lord's main manor,
00:13:23into the bedchambers
00:13:24that rightfully belong
00:13:25to the primary mistress
00:13:26and the heir.
00:13:27Ronan lowered his eyes,
00:13:28looking at Vanessa's
00:13:29adoration-filled face,
00:13:31as she leaned coyly
00:13:32against him,
00:13:33and then at the child,
00:13:34who was sweetly
00:13:35calling him father.
00:13:36The scales in his heart
00:13:37had already tipped completely.
00:13:39Without a shred
00:13:40of hesitation,
00:13:41he nodded his agreement
00:13:42coldly on the spot.
00:13:43Mother is right.
00:13:45The best location
00:13:46in the main manor
00:13:47should naturally be reserved
00:13:48for the heir
00:13:49who truly carries
00:13:50the excellent bloodline
00:13:51of our kingdom.
00:13:52Seeing her son agree
00:13:54so readily,
00:13:54Aloy's face flushed
00:13:55with even more delight.
00:13:57Standing up hauntily
00:13:58while leaning on her staff,
00:13:59she addressed
00:14:00all the tribal
00:14:00high officials present
00:14:01in a grand,
00:14:02supreme tone.
00:14:04Not only that,
00:14:05Wind Kingdom
00:14:06has thrived to this day
00:14:07and our bloodline
00:14:08is supreme.
00:14:09Jasper is exceptionally bright,
00:14:10displaying astonishing
00:14:11magical talent
00:14:12at such a tender age.
00:14:13He deserves the recognition
00:14:14of all kingdoms.
00:14:16I propose that in three days,
00:14:17we hold the most grand
00:14:18and magnificent
00:14:19official announcement celebration
00:14:21for three-year-old Jasper.
00:14:22We shall high-profilely
00:14:24declare him
00:14:25as the primary heir
00:14:26of our Wind Kingdom's future.
00:14:29In three days,
00:14:30Jasper would be declared
00:14:31the primary heir.
00:14:32Following her move
00:14:33into the main manor,
00:14:34Vanessa began to carry herself
00:14:36entirely as the queen
00:14:37of the Wind Kingdom.
00:14:38Dressed in extravagant silks,
00:14:39she glided through the temple
00:14:40flanked by her entourage,
00:14:42soaking in the endless,
00:14:43shallow flattery.
00:14:44Yet a stubborn sliver of anxiety
00:14:46remained buried deep
00:14:47in her chest.
00:14:48Whenever night fell,
00:14:49she would catch Ronan
00:14:49standing on the balcony,
00:14:51staring with a conflicted expression
00:14:52towards that dark,
00:14:53desolate, withered tower.
00:14:55Though he spoke
00:14:55with absolute coldness,
00:14:56subconsciously,
00:14:57he still harbored
00:14:58a faint trace of worry
00:14:59for my baby and me,
00:15:00a worry he refused
00:15:01to admit even to himself.
00:15:03This lingering gaze
00:15:04made Vanessa's jealous
00:15:05and paranoia grow wild.
00:15:07As long as my daughter
00:15:09and I were breathing,
00:15:10her position
00:15:11and Jasper's future
00:15:12would never be safe.
00:15:13An opportunity presented itself
00:15:14sooner than expected.
00:15:16Early this morning,
00:15:17desperate to give
00:15:17my frail daughter
00:15:18a single drop of clean water,
00:15:20my completely helpless self
00:15:21was forced to drag
00:15:22my 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
00:15:30turned ice cold.
00:15:31She knew her moment
00:15:32had arrived.
00:15:33She quietly dismissed
00:15:34the guards around
00:15:35the main manor,
00:15:36taking only a few
00:15:37of her most ruthless disconfidence
00:15:38as she slipped
00:15:40into the dark,
00:15:41abandoned withered tower.
00:15:42The wooden door creaked open,
00:15:44letting in the piercing chill.
00:15:46Vanessa stepped over the debris,
00:15:48advancing slow pace
00:15:49by slow pace
00:15:50until she stopped
00:15:52right in front
00:15:52of the primitive stone bed.
00:15:54Inside her swaddling clothes,
00:15:55newborn Iris
00:15:56was sleeping soundly.
00:15:57Though her little face
00:15:58was pale,
00:15:59the faint golden divine mark
00:16:01shimmering on her forehead
00:16:02radiated an undeniable
00:16:03nobility and purity,
00:16:04a mark that made Vanessa's eyes
00:16:06burn with pure envy.
00:16:08You pathetic little freak.
00:16:11You think you're worthy
00:16:12of Ronan's blood?
00:16:14If you want to blame anyone,
00:16:16blame your useless mother.
00:16:18The mask of innocence
00:16:19slipped from Vanessa's face,
00:16:21her eyes twisting
00:16:22with pure malice.
00:16:23From her wide sleeve,
00:16:25she slowly pulled out
00:16:26a porcelain vial
00:16:27that emitted
00:16:28an eerie green glow.
00:16:30Inside was a forbidden,
00:16:32lethal toxin
00:16:32she had purchased
00:16:33at an exorgent price
00:16:34from the black market.
00:16:36Soul-eating elixir,
00:16:37specifically designed
00:16:38to dissolve
00:16:39a newborn elf's mana core
00:16:41and cause their soul
00:16:42to rot away
00:16:43inch by inch.
00:16:44With a trembling hand,
00:16:45she popped the cork
00:16:46and violently clamped
00:16:48her fingers
00:16:48over my baby's
00:16:49fragile jaw.
00:16:50The sharp pain
00:16:51forced my sleeping princess
00:16:53to snap her eyes open,
00:16:55letting out a weak,
00:16:56agonizing cry.
00:16:58But Vanessa
00:16:59was entirely unfazed,
00:17:00with a distorted,
00:17:02demonic sneer.
00:17:03She forced the entire
00:17:04bottle of icy,
00:17:05corrosive poison
00:17:06straight down
00:17:07my infant's tender throat.
00:17:08When I returned
00:17:09to the withered tower,
00:17:11thoroughly exhausted
00:17:12and clutching
00:17:14that 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.
00:17:22My heart
00:17:23skipped a beat
00:17:24and a boundless panic
00:17:26instantly seized me
00:17:28in a death grip.
00:17:30I practically crawled
00:17:31and scrambled my way
00:17:33toward that freezing stone bed.
00:17:36Iris!
00:17:39Mommy is back.
00:17:41The moment
00:17:41my trembling hands
00:17:42pulled back
00:17:43the swaddling clothes,
00:17:44the sight before me
00:17:46caused me to drop
00:17:47into an abyss of ice.
00:17:50Her originally
00:17:52pink 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
00:18:03my soul
00:18:04was that the faint
00:18:05golden elven divine mark
00:18:06on her forehead,
00:18:07which had been flickering softly,
00:18:10was now darkened
00:18:12across a massive area.
00:18:14Iris!
00:18:17Wake up.
00:18:19Look at Mommy.
00:18:21Don't scare Mommy.
00:18:23Sprinting once more
00:18:24toward the Wind Kingdom's
00:18:27infirmary.
00:18:30I slammed the infirmary
00:18:32doors open
00:18:32with 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
00:18:42instantly changed color.
00:18:44His hands trembled
00:18:46as he probed
00:18:47the fluctuations
00:18:48within my daughter's body,
00:18:49his eyes filling
00:18:50with horror.
00:18:53Heavens!
00:18:54This is the forbidden poison
00:18:56that destroys
00:18:57the mana core!
00:18:59The child's natural core
00:19:00is withering away,
00:19:01inch 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
00:19:10to the point
00:19:11where I wished
00:19:12I could die
00:19:13on the spot.
00:19:15To suppress
00:19:16this aggressive toxin,
00:19:18we must immediately
00:19:20inject
00:19:20a powerful,
00:19:22compatible mana
00:19:23from her father's kingdom
00:19:24to protect her heart path.
00:19:28Otherwise...
00:19:29Trembling,
00:19:30I closed my eyes,
00:19:31disregarding any cost.
00:19:33I forcibly reversed
00:19:34the remaining essence
00:19:34within my body,
00:19:36frantically activating
00:19:37the soul transmission
00:19:38unique to the elven race.
00:19:39A connection
00:19:41never lightly opened
00:19:42unless it was a matter
00:19:43of life or death.
00:19:45Rowan!
00:19:45Save our daughter!
00:19:46Save our daughter!
00:19:48From the other end,
00:19:49there was only
00:19:49a deathly silence,
00:19:51followed by a completely
00:19:52heartless 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.
00:20:04Rowan!
00:20:05I beg you,
00:20:08connect to me.
00:20:12Save Iris.
00:20:14I knelt on the freezing
00:20:16floor of the infirmary,
00:20:17sending out the soul transmission
00:20:18over 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
00:20:24sea of consciousness,
00:20:26I refused to let go.
00:20:28At this moment,
00:20:29inside the Wind Kingdom's
00:20:30main manor,
00:20:32Rowan was patiently
00:20:33keeping Vanessa
00:20:33and her son company.
00:20:35Three-year-old Jasper,
00:20:37dressed in a luxurious
00:20:38outfit embroidered
00:20:39with green leaves
00:20:40and gold thread,
00:20:41was pulling back
00:20:42a delicate short
00:20:43wooden monobow.
00:20:47When he hit the bullseye,
00:20:49it drew bursts
00:20:50of gasps and praise
00:20:52from the surrounding
00:20:53attendants,
00:20:54perhaps perturbed
00:20:55and annoyed
00:20:55by my weeping,
00:20:57blood-soaked pleas
00:20:58that continuously
00:20:59echoed in his mind
00:21:01like an act
00:21:02of self-mutilation
00:21:03after coldly
00:21:04cutting it off
00:21:05over a dozen times.
00:21:06Ronan finally
00:21:07accepted the connection.
00:21:09His phantom projection
00:21:10materialized in mid-air,
00:21:12looking down
00:21:13at my battered
00:21:13and wretched form
00:21:14from a great height,
00:21:15his eyes filled
00:21:16with absolute impatience
00:21:17and disgust.
00:21:19Serafana,
00:21:20haven't you thrown
00:21:21enough of a tantrum?
00:21:23Is the soul transmission
00:21:24something you use
00:21:26as 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
00:21:36the compatible mana
00:21:37from your body
00:21:38immediately
00:21:39to protect
00:21:40her heart path.
00:21:41I beg you,
00:21:43come and see her.
00:21:45Poisoned?
00:21:46The moment Vanessa
00:21:47and Jasper
00:21:48move into the main house,
00:21:50you begin fabricating
00:21:52such an absurd lie.
00:21:53Are you trying
00:21:54to curse my heir?
00:21:55I am not lying!
00:21:58She is really
00:21:59about to die.
00:22:04Enough!
00:22:06I know you are resentful
00:22:08because you gave birth
00:22:11to a daughter
00:22:12and 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
00:22:23to 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
00:22:35with you!
00:22:38Dropping these
00:22:39piercingly cold words,
00:22:41Ronian did not
00:22:42wait for me
00:22:42to utter another syllable
00:22:45before callously
00:22:46cutting off
00:22:47the soul transmission
00:22:48with a wave
00:22:48of his hand.
00:22:50The phantom projection
00:22:52in mid-air
00:22:53dissolved instantly
00:22:54and along with it,
00:22:56the very last shred
00:22:57of my hope
00:22:58was crushed
00:23:00to pieces.
00:23:02After the soul transmission
00:23:04was severed,
00:23:05Ronan stared at his empty palm,
00:23:06his brow frowned
00:23:07tightly together.
00:23:08Even though he utterly
00:23:09detested Serafina's
00:23:10jealous fits,
00:23:11he hearing a word
00:23:12like dying
00:23:12still caused a faint
00:23:13inexplicable wave
00:23:14of irritation
00:23:15and unease news
00:23:16to ripple through
00:23:17the depths of his heart.
00:23:18Vanessa, who was watching
00:23:19from the side,
00:23:20keenly captured the shift
00:23:22in Ronan's expression.
00:23:23A flash of panic
00:23:25crossed her eyes,
00:23:26but it was quickly replaced
00:23:28by a profound,
00:23:29calculating look.
00:23:30Vanessa stepped forward
00:23:31gently,
00:23:32considerably smoothing
00:23:33out the wrinkles
00:23:34on Ronan's groves
00:23:35as she spoke
00:23:35in a strained,
00:23:36high-pitched voice.
00:23:38Ronan,
00:23:38the primary mistress
00:23:39wept so heartbreakingly
00:23:40during the soul transmission.
00:23:41It has left my heart
00:23:42in a bit of a flutter as well.
00:23:44How about
00:23:44we go to the infirmary
00:23:46to take a look right now?
00:23:47After all,
00:23:48the little princess
00:23:48is also your flesh and blood.
00:23:50We absolutely mustn't
00:23:52let anything terrible happen.
00:23:53Seeing Vanessa
00:23:54being so magnenuence
00:23:55and understanding,
00:23:56the irritation
00:23:57in Ronan's heart
00:23:58dissipated quite a bit,
00:23:59and he nodded immediately.
00:24:01Very well.
00:24:02We will do as you say.
00:24:04I want to see
00:24:06what kind of trick
00:24:07she can fabric.
00:24:08Then I will go
00:24:09prepare some
00:24:10monispring water
00:24:10to soothe the child's mind.
00:24:13Wait for me a moment.
00:24:14Vanessa turned around,
00:24:16and the moment
00:24:16she was at an angle
00:24:17where 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
00:24:23to prepare any spring water.
00:24:25Instead,
00:24:26she dispatched
00:24:26Trust Vicent
00:24:27carrying heavy gold
00:24:28monocrystals
00:24:29to secretly bribe
00:24:30the doctor
00:24:30who had received Iris.
00:24:32When Vanessa
00:24:32accompanied Ronan
00:24:33and arrived at the infirmary
00:24:35in a hurried rush,
00:24:36she took advantage
00:24:36of a gap
00:24:37while Ronan
00:24:38was speaking
00:24:38with the nurses outside,
00:24:39using the excuse
00:24:40of checking in,
00:24:41first to stealthily slip
00:24:42into the patient room
00:24:43ahead of him,
00:24:44entirely unnoticed,
00:24:45staring at the infant
00:24:47on the hospital bed
00:24:48who was hanging
00:24:48onto life
00:24:49by a mere thread,
00:24:50the divine mark
00:24:51on her forehead
00:24:52flickering erratly.
00:24:53She ruthless gleam
00:24:54flashed through
00:24:55Vanessa's eyes.
00:24:58She pulled an advanced,
00:25:00consecutive illusion potion
00:25:01from her sleeve,
00:25:02a formula capable
00:25:04of temporarily
00:25:05suppressing toxicity
00:25:06and forging
00:25:07a false appearance
00:25:08of health.
00:25:09Pinching the little
00:25:10princess' delicate neck,
00:25:11she poured
00:25:12the illusion potion
00:25:13down without
00:25:14the slightest hesitation.
00:25:15The instant
00:25:16the illusion potion
00:25:17entered her mouth,
00:25:18the sickly green
00:25:19deathly energy
00:25:20on the little princess' face
00:25:21began to recede rapidly
00:25:23and the divine mark
00:25:24that was on the verge
00:25:25of cracking
00:25:26eerily smoothed over.
00:25:29Even her burning
00:25:30body temperature
00:25:30began to return
00:25:31to normal
00:25:32at a rapid pace.
00:25:33Aside from falling
00:25:34into 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
00:25:44pushed open the door
00:25:45to the patient room,
00:25:46I was collapsed
00:25:47by the bedside,
00:25:48my eyes filled
00:25:49with absolute disbelief
00:25:51as I stared
00:25:51at 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' face
00:26:00suddenly vanished.
00:26:01Even her shriveled,
00:26:03divine mark
00:26:03smoothed 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
00:26:19was steady.
00:26:22Then he whipped
00:26:23his head around,
00:26:24staring dead
00:26:24at my deathly,
00:26:25pale face.
00:26:27His voice was sharp,
00:26:30cutting,
00:26:30and poisoned.
00:26:32Seraphana!
00:26:33This is the life-threatening
00:26:35danger you spoke of?
00:26:37This is the shattered
00:26:38core you claimed?
00:26:41Her temperature
00:26:42is normal,
00:26:43her breathing
00:26:43is steady.
00:26:45As the Lord's
00:26:45Concord,
00:26:46you dared
00:26:47to deceive me.
00:26:49Using your
00:26:50newborn daughter
00:26:51as bait
00:26:51for a jealous tantrum,
00:26:54you disgust me.
00:26:56Looking at his
00:26:57furious face,
00:26:58my entire body
00:26:59turned cold.
00:27:00No!
00:27:01Ronan,
00:27:01listen to me!
00:27:02Just moments ago,
00:27:03she was not like this!
00:27:04It was Vanessa!
00:27:05She came in just now!
00:27:07She fed something
00:27:08to Modell!
00:27:08But Ronan
00:27:09did not believe me
00:27:10for even a second.
00:27:12So I turned
00:27:13to the doctor
00:27:13beside us,
00:27:14as if he were
00:27:16my last saving straw.
00:27:17Doctor,
00:27:18speak up!
00:27:21You clearly
00:27:22told me
00:27:22had been struck
00:27:23by a forbidden
00:27:24poison.
00:27:25You said it was
00:27:26destroying her core,
00:27:27and she would not
00:27:27survive 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.
00:27:34He did not dare
00:27:35look at me.
00:27:36Then,
00:27:37syllable by syllable,
00:27:38he pushed me
00:27:39into the abyss.
00:27:40Reporting to the Lord,
00:27:41the little princess
00:27:42merely caught a bit
00:27:42of a breeze,
00:27:43but there may be
00:27:44O-double.
00:27:44It is only
00:27:45ordinary discomfort.
00:27:46The primary mistress
00:27:47is unsettled
00:27:48after childbirth,
00:27:49overly sensitive
00:27:49and blowing a small
00:27:50matter out of proportion.
00:27:51My entire world
00:27:52shattered like a bolt
00:27:52from Moments of Blue.
00:27:53How could it
00:27:53suddenly change?
00:27:55Watching me
00:27:56fall to the ground
00:27:56in a distravelled,
00:27:57helpless state,
00:27:59Vanessa,
00:27:59hidden just behind
00:28:00Ronan,
00:28:01let a fleeting,
00:28:01venomous smile
00:28:02of triumph
00:28:03play on the
00:28:04corners of her lips.
00:28:05Then,
00:28:06stepping forward
00:28:06at the perfect moment,
00:28:08she submissively
00:28:08wrapped 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.
00:28:20Ronan,
00:28:21don't blame
00:28:22the primary mistress
00:28:22too much.
00:28:24Iris is a girl
00:28:25after all,
00:28:26born with a weak
00:28:27constitution.
00:28:27It is only natural
00:28:29she panicked
00:28:29when a minor chill
00:28:30threw the child
00:28:31into such a state.
00:28:32It'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,
00:28:44her eyes brimming
00:28:45with tenderness
00:28:45and adoration.
00:28:47Jasper's succession
00:28:48ceremony is in
00:28:48just two days.
00:28:49That is the true
00:28:50matter of gravity
00:28:51for the kingdom's legacy.
00:28:53We cannot let
00:28:53Seraphina delay
00:28:54your proper business.
00:28:56over these trivial
00:28:57backyard squabbles.
00:29:01Let us return
00:29:02to the main manor.
00:29:03We shouldn't let
00:29:04her hysteria ruin
00:29:05our precious time
00:29:06with Jasper.
00:29:11Ronan averted
00:29:12his eyes in disgust,
00:29:13refusing to grant
00:29:14even half a glance
00:29:15to his biological
00:29:16daughter on the sickbed.
00:29:17Vanessa,
00:29:18you are the one
00:29:19who is truly sensible.
00:29:21Come,
00:29:21let 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
00:29:33of the infirmary.
00:29:35Only when the footsteps
00:29:36of the pair
00:29:36had 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
00:29:44and knees
00:29:45to my feet,
00:29:46cooting frantically
00:29:47while crying out
00:29:48in absolute despair.
00:29:49your ines,
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.
00:29:58Why did you lie
00:29:59just now?
00:30:00Madam Vanessa
00:30:01has officially moved
00:30:02into the Lord's
00:30:03main mansion
00:30:03with the heir
00:30:04and enjoys
00:30:05the Lord's
00:30:05absolute favor.
00:30:07She is the future
00:30:09primary mistress
00:30:10of the kingdom.
00:30:11Before the Lord
00:30:11entered just now,
00:30:12she pulled me aside
00:30:13and threatened
00:30:14that if I did not
00:30:15cooperate,
00:30:15she would take
00:30:16my entire family's
00:30:17lives tonight
00:30:17and even have
00:30:17the Lord take my head,
00:30:18she would truly kill me.
00:30:19Listening to the
00:30:20doctor's desperate wails,
00:30:21I looked at my daughter
00:30:22on the sicklead,
00:30:22whose condition
00:30:23was forcibly masked
00:30:24as peaceful
00:30:24by the illusionless poison.
00:30:26Ronan,
00:30:26to cater to your first love,
00:30:27you personally abandoned
00:30:28the sole opportunity
00:30:29to save your biological 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 extravagant
00:30:45dawn trial
00:30:45for three-year-old Jasper.
00:30:47The streets of the main city
00:30:49were carpeted
00:30:51with sacred
00:30:51florencent petals
00:30:52and they went so far
00:30:55as to exceptionally tame
00:30:57nine pure white unicorns
00:30:59to draw a crystal
00:31:01invented float
00:31:03in a high-profile parade
00:31:05across the territory.
00:31:08As Vanessa held the hand
00:31:10of a magnificently
00:31:11dressed Jasper,
00:31:13his delicate little
00:31:14elven wings fluttering
00:31:16and ascended the float.
00:31:19Waves of deafening
00:31:20cheers erupted
00:31:21across the skies
00:31:22of the Wind Kingdom.
00:31:24Meanwhile,
00:31:25in a dark corner
00:31:25of the Grand Hall,
00:31:26I cradled my daughter,
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.
00:31:33Without the Lord's
00:31:34explicit permission,
00:31:36my daughter and I
00:31:37lacked even the right
00:31:38to enter the main hall.
00:31:41Forced to stand
00:31:43in the freezing wind
00:31:44of the outer gallery.
00:31:45Just then,
00:31:46Vanessa,
00:31:47basking in the adoration
00:31:48atop the float,
00:31:50spotted my figure
00:31:51from afar.
00:31:51With a flicker
00:31:52in her eyes,
00:31:53she intentionally
00:31:54walked towards me
00:31:55with a smug smile.
00:31:56Covering her mouth
00:31:57with a handkerchief,
00:31:58she let out a feigned sigh
00:31:59of self-reploach,
00:32:00though her eyes were filled
00:32:02with condescending charity.
00:32:04Sister,
00:32:05do not blame Mother
00:32:06and Ronin
00:32:06for being heartless.
00:32:07The Withered Tower
00:32:08is peaceful,
00:32:09making it the perfect place
00:32:11for your magic-deficient
00:32:12daughter to recuperate.
00:32:13Today is our Jasper's
00:32:14succession celebration.
00:32:15You shouldn't have
00:32:16brought her out
00:32:16in the first place.
00:32:17Look at her.
00:32:18Even her divine mark
00:32:19is on the verge
00:32:20of dispersing.
00:32:21We must not let her clash
00:32:23with Jasper's
00:32:24unicorn fortune
00:32:25after today.
00:32:27Jasper will be
00:32:27the rightful first heir,
00:32:29while you,
00:32:30the primary mistress,
00:32:31are fit only to watch us
00:32:32ascend to the peak
00:32:33from the mud
00:32:33for the rest of your life!
00:32:35While Vanessa subjected me
00:32:36to endless mockery,
00:32:37the parade reached
00:32:38its absolute climax.
00:32:40Clad in a magnificent
00:32:42silver-white robe,
00:32:43a commanding
00:32:44and majestic Ronin
00:32:45ascended the central
00:32:46divine altar
00:32:47under the gaze
00:32:48of the masses.
00:32:49Raising his hands,
00:32:50he used amplification magic
00:32:52to declare
00:32:52to the entire field
00:32:54his voice echoing
00:32:55through the heavens,
00:32:56arrogant
00:32:57and ecstatic.
00:32:58Today is not only
00:32:59the celebratory feast,
00:33:00establishing my son
00:33:02Jasper's status
00:33:03as heir,
00:33:03but the starting point
00:33:04for our wind kingdoms
00:33:06to march towards
00:33:07the peak
00:33:07of all kingdoms!
00:33:08I officially announce here
00:33:10that we are exerting
00:33:11every effort
00:33:12to secure
00:33:12multiple major
00:33:13cooperations
00:33:14with the mysterious
00:33:15and supreme
00:33:16High Elven King
00:33:17of the Sanctuary!
00:33:18I couldn't help
00:33:19but laugh.
00:33:19The 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 these words
00:33:29were spoken
00:33:30a massive uproar
00:33:32rippled through the crowd.
00:33:35The High Elven King
00:33:36was the supreme ruler
00:33:37of the entire Elven world.
00:33:41A godlike 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
00:33:49into the ranks
00:33:50of the super kingdoms.
00:33:52Ronan's face
00:33:53was flushed
00:33:54with absolute pride.
00:33:55his features
00:33:56bearing an unmaskable arrogance
00:33:59as he turned
00:34:00an affectionate gaze
00:34:01to Vanessa and Jasper.
00:34:04Once this cooperation
00:34:06is finalized
00:34:07Jasper will not only
00:34:08be the king
00:34:08of the Wind Kingdom
00:34:12but the most noble
00:34:13young commander
00:34:14of the future sanctuary!
00:34:16I shall use
00:34:17the eternal prosperity
00:34:18of the supreme sanctuary
00:34:20to make up
00:34:21for the Grieges
00:34:22Vanessa
00:34:23and her son
00:34:24suffered
00:34:25over the past
00:34:26three years!
00:34:28Vanessa cast
00:34:29a provocative glance
00:34:30at me
00:34:30her eyes brimming
00:34:32with ostentatience
00:34:33and disdain.
00:34:34Ronan's gaze toward me
00:34:35was also filled
00:34:36with ultimate coldness
00:34:37as if mocking
00:34:39my instant
00:34:39magnificence
00:34:40and incompetence.
00:34:42However,
00:34:42watching Ronan's
00:34:43self-righteous declaration
00:34:44I felt
00:34:45I felt not a single
00:34:46shred of anger
00:34:46instead I lowered
00:34:48my head
00:34:49and gently kissed
00:34:50the suppressed divine mark
00:34:51on 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
00:34:59lying within the swaddling clothes
00:35:02you have dismissed
00:35:04as worthless garbage.
00:35:08Ronan, Vanessa
00:35:09the supreme divinity
00:35:11you are scheming to please
00:35:13by any means necessary
00:35:15is the very person
00:35:17you have personally pushed
00:35:18into the abyss
00:35:19and trampled upon
00:35:21in every way!
00:35:22me
00:35:23the corners of my lips
00:35:24ferved into an icy arc
00:35:25and the suppressed rage
00:35:27and hatred in my heart
00:35:28transformed into
00:35:29the most ruthless anticipation
00:35:31at this moment.
00:35:33Wind Kingdom
00:35:34the final revelry
00:35:36of your lives
00:35:37ends
00:35:38here.
00:35:42After a few days
00:35:43of revelry
00:35:44the disguise
00:35:45of the illusion potion
00:35:46finally collapsed
00:35:49like a castle of sand
00:35:50lying on the stone bed
00:35:52of the withered tower
00:35:53the toxins within
00:35:54my daughter's body
00:35:55broke past all restraint
00:35:56erupting violently
00:35:57she fell
00:35:58into a prolonged coma
00:36:00her tiny body
00:36:01burning with a terrifying fever
00:36:03her lips cracked
00:36:04and pale
00:36:05her breathing
00:36:06reduced to a flickering
00:36:07candle in the wind
00:36:10liable to extinguish
00:36:12at any moment
00:36:13I knelt by the bedside
00:36:15my magic
00:36:16entirely dried up
00:36:17leaving me helpless
00:36:19as I pressed
00:36:20my cheek
00:36:21against her icy
00:36:22little hand
00:36:23my tears
00:36:24long since dried
00:36:26just as I was
00:36:27on the verge
00:36:28of despairing
00:36:29unto death
00:36:29the wooden door
00:36:30of the high tower
00:36:31was suddenly pushed
00:36:32open in a frenzy
00:36:33the wind kingdom
00:36:34doctor burst in
00:36:36dripping with sweat
00:36:37his eyes
00:36:38a tangled mess
00:36:39of guilt
00:36:39and terror
00:36:40with trembling hands
00:36:42he presented
00:36:43a crystal bottle
00:36:44radiating a warm
00:36:45sacred golden light
00:36:47like the midday sun
00:36:48this medicine
00:36:49can neutralize
00:36:50all poisons
00:36:51save those
00:36:52on the brink
00:36:53of death
00:36:53and immensely
00:36:54nourish the bloodline
00:36:55of an elven babe
00:36:56please
00:36:57feed it to the
00:36:57little princess
00:36:58quickly
00:36:58this is her
00:36:59sole path
00:37:00to survival
00:37:00staring at that
00:37:02ball of sacred
00:37:02golden light
00:37:03my deadened heart
00:37:04began to beat
00:37:04frantically
00:37:05I snatched
00:37:06the spiritual medicine
00:37:07clutching it
00:37:07tightly to my chest
00:37:08my heart
00:37:09overflowing with joy
00:37:10as I believed
00:37:10my daughter
00:37:11was finally saved
00:37:12trembling
00:37:13I pulled the cork
00:37:15preparing to feed
00:37:16this life-saving drop
00:37:18into my daughter's mouth
00:37:19when the tower door
00:37:20was violently blown open
00:37:22with a resounding clash
00:37:23a wild wind rushed in
00:37:25as Alina
00:37:26flanked by her attendants
00:37:28strode in
00:37:29with a majestic
00:37:30yet greedy expression
00:37:31before I could even react
00:37:33she ruthlessly
00:37:34snatched the crystal bottle
00:37:35right out of my hands
00:37:40Illion gripped the flask
00:37:41of sacred tree extract
00:37:42tightly
00:37:43feeling the boundless
00:37:44sacred energy
00:37:45swirling within
00:37:46a fanatical greed
00:37:47erupted in her eyes
00:37:48give it back to me
00:37:50that is Iris'
00:37:52life-saving medicine
00:37:53I lunged forward
00:37:54like a madman
00:37:55to reclaim the medicine
00:37:55give 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
00:38:02staffs
00:38:03my knees slammed
00:38:04against the hard
00:38:05stone tiles
00:38:06emitting a sickening crack
00:38:08following 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
00:38:17refusing 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
00:38:27this is the legendary
00:38:28sacred tree extract
00:38:29though three-year-old
00:38:31Jasper is
00:38:31extraordinarily gifted
00:38:32his skeletal frame
00:38:34hasn't fully matured yet
00:38:35if we let him drink
00:38:36this divine item
00:38:37his wind magic
00:38:38will undergo
00:38:39a complete metamorphosis
00:38:40allowing him to grow
00:38:41taller and more powerful
00:38:43than any peer
00:38:44entirely solidifying
00:38:46his position
00:38:46as the first heir
00:38:47under the kingdom spotlight
00:38:49Mother is correct
00:38:52leaving such a bloodline
00:38:53treasure in the
00:38:54withered tower
00:38:54would be an utter waste
00:38:56of a divine gift
00:38:57only 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
00:39:03looking at me
00:39:04pinned 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
00:39:11huddled together
00:39:12admiring the item
00:39:13as if inspecting
00:39:14a supreme treasure
00:39:15filled with praises
00:39:16while I could only
00:39:17watch helplessly
00:39:18as the saving straw
00:39:19belonged to my daughter
00:39:20was stripped away
00:39:22completely
00:39:23amid my agonized weeping
00:39:25that priceless flask
00:39:27of sacred tree extract
00:39:29was gently yet forcefully
00:39:30poured
00:39:31into the mouth
00:39:32of the perfectly
00:39:33lival Jasper
00:39:34by Eladid
00:39:35the moment
00:39:35the divine item
00:39:36entered his mouth
00:39:37a blinding golden current
00:39:39erupted across Jasper's body
00:39:41not only did his wind
00:39:42attribute magic
00:39:43surge instantly
00:39:44but his height
00:39:45even seemed to increase
00:39:47slightly
00:39:47the three-year-old toddler
00:39:49excitedly brashed
00:39:50at his magic in the hall
00:39:51while Ronan and Vanessa
00:39:53surrounded him
00:39:53letting out waves
00:39:55of absolute delight
00:39:57the happier their laughter
00:39:58the more shattered
00:40:00my heart became
00:40:00Ronan looked down
00:40:01upon me as I lay
00:40:02limp on the ground
00:40:03his cold words
00:40:04cutting like blades
00:40:06Seraphina
00:40:07cease your weeping here
00:40:09Jasper
00:40:10is the future hope
00:40:11of the kingdom
00:40:12giving this medicine
00:40:13to him ensures
00:40:14it is put to its
00:40:15proper use
00:40:15as 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
00:40:24over her
00:40:25and she certainly
00:40:26does not deserve
00:40:27a divine object
00:40:28like the sacred tree extract
00:40:29flicking his sleeves
00:40:31Ronan turned
00:40:32and left heartlessly
00:40:33taking the room's laughter
00:40:34with him
00:40:35when they departed entirely
00:40:37the tower plunged back
00:40:39into a deathly silence
00:40:40I crawled to the bedside
00:40:42looking at my empty hands
00:40:44and then at my daughter
00:40:46whose core was withering
00:40:47as she spit out
00:40:48another mouthful
00:40:49of black blood
00:40:50from the poison
00:40:51gripping her heart
00:40:51my daughter opened
00:40:52her eyes weakly
00:40:53rubbing against my palm
00:40:55with a touch of attachment
00:40:55before sinking entirely
00:40:57into a deathly coldness
00:40:58slowly raising
00:41:00my right hand
00:41:01I spared no cost
00:41:03to force out
00:41:03the final drop
00:41:04of supreme golden blood
00:41:06from my heart
00:41:07drawing a sacred
00:41:08golden winged armor
00:41:09in the void
00:41:10through the array
00:41:12a connection
00:41:13was instantly forged
00:41:14to the deepest depths
00:41:15of the sanctuary
00:41:16unleashing 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
00:41:23you have suffered
00:41:24these past three years
00:41:26cradling the icy form
00:41:27tightly in my arms
00:41:28tears of blood
00:41:28tracing down my face
00:41:29my 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
00:41:36home
00:41:37the supreme array faded into the air
00:41:40and forcing my dying
00:41:42battered body forward
00:41:43I carried my daughter
00:41:44out of the withered tower
00:41:46my daughter's fragile form
00:41:48barely clung to life
00:41:49without disturbing anyone
00:41:51I walked step by step
00:41:53to the center of the territory
00:41:54stopping before the tree of life
00:41:56then I was wrong
00:41:58be rode of to stand
00:41:59into my Urumayan number stool
00:42:01swearing by the supreme bloodline
00:42:04I sever the covenant
00:42:05and erase my holy name
00:42:07here today
00:42:12inside the main manor
00:42:13Ronan felt a sudden
00:42:16violent spasm of pain
00:42:18strike his chest
00:42:20Ronan
00:42:21three years of marital devotion
00:42:23has been personally severed
00:42:25by your hand today
00:42:25the 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
00:42:33over such a trivial matter
00:42:35you would go so far
00:42:35as to harm your own body
00:42:36to forge a fortune backlash
00:42:38I have no time to play
00:42:39these cat and mouse games
00:42:40with you
00:42:41if you have the ability to leave
00:42:42then ensure you never return
00:42:46Esther has simply been spoiled by you
00:42:48in a couple of days
00:42:49once she has suffered enough outside
00:42:51she will naturally come back
00:42:53begging on her needs
00:42:54let us ignore her
00:42:57that night
00:42:58the entire main manor
00:43:00of the wind kingdom
00:43:01was brightly lit
00:43:04and adorned with festive decorations
00:43:06to celebrate three-year-old Jasper
00:43:09consuming the sacred tree extract
00:43:11and experiencing a surge in magic
00:43:13Aline ordered an all-night festival
00:43:16of music and dance
00:43:18inside the magnificent main hall
00:43:20the aroma of fine wine filled the air
00:43:23as countless high-tier elves
00:43:24raised their glasses in unison
00:43:26surrounding Vanessa and her son
00:43:27at the center
00:43:28with absolute flattery
00:43:29and obdaciousness
00:43:31Ronan sat upon his throne
00:43:32looking at his triumphant eldest son
00:43:35his 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
00:43:43the hypocritical and fanatical cheers
00:43:46echoed through the night sky
00:43:48transforming the entire temple
00:43:50into a city that never slept
00:43:53yet no one noticed
00:43:54that on the desolate path
00:43:56at the outmost edge of the main city
00:43:58leading towards the forbidden forest
00:43:59a slender and resolute figure
00:44:01was carrying a swaddling cloth
00:44:03stepping into the boundless curtain of night
00:44:05the freezing rain slammed down merceusely
00:44:07Serafina's face was deathly still
00:44:09but her hands held the daughter in her arms
00:44:11with absolute tightness
00:44:12Iris's breathing within the cloth was faint
00:44:14her tiny body gradually turning stirby and cold
00:44:17Serafina did not cast a single glance back
00:44:19at the false prosperity
00:44:20of the wind kingdom behind her
00:44:21her eyes held no more tears
00:44:23only an indifference
00:44:25that chilled to the bone
00:44:26the singing and dancing
00:44:28inside the main hall continued
00:44:29and Ronan was smiling
00:44:30as he accepted the fine wine
00:44:31handed to him by Vanessa
00:44:32at that exact instant
00:44:34deep within the dark forest far away
00:44:35the violent cold wind
00:44:37came to an abrupt halt without warning
00:44:38a sliver of incredibly noble
00:44:39sacred and tore through the darkness
00:44:41of 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
00:44:46celebratory songs and laugh
00:44:47still echoed faintly
00:44:48but the moment the mother and girls
00:44:50slender yet matchlessly noble
00:44:51fears that sliver of golden light
00:44:53they instantly transformed
00:44:54into a remnant gleam
00:44:55vanishing 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
00:45:04holding my daughter
00:45:05who had practically stopped breathing
00:45:07I finally collapsed onto my knees
00:45:09against the flawless white jade floor tiles
00:45:11my strength entirely spent
00:45:13my long hair was soaked through
00:45:15by the terricious rain
00:45:16sticking messily to my deathly pale cheeks
00:45:17the weakness of post-parting recovery
00:45:19combled with the trauma
00:45:20of forcibly reversing my source power
00:45:21caused me to leave a striking trail of blood
00:45:24with every step
00:45:24sitting 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
00:45:31which had 10,000 years of history
00:45:33trembled violently
00:45:34with immense shock and heartache
00:45:35moving like a blur
00:45:37he materialized by my side
00:45:39in an instant
00:45:39his 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
00:45:49which even 10,000 kingdoms look up to
00:45:52why has it withered
00:45:53to such an extent
00:45:56I slowly raised my head
00:45:57the tears of blood
00:45:58at the corners of my eye
00:45:59long since dried
00:46:00I did not cry out
00:46:01I merely used the final shred
00:46:03of strength in my body
00:46:04to tremblingly present
00:46:04the swaddling cloth
00:46:05to my father
00:46:06father
00:46:07save her
00:46:08she is ronin's biological flesh and blood
00:46:10yet they dismissed her
00:46:12as a lowly wretch
00:46:12to steal her life-saving medicine
00:46:14they fed my iris forbidden illusion potions
00:46:17to forcibly mask the truth
00:46:18she has been poisoned
00:46:19with soul-eating grass
00:46:20and her magic core
00:46:22is on the verge of shattering
00:46:23my father took the tiny swatting floth
00:46:25with trembling hands
00:46:26when his divine sense swept
00:46:28Tross's granddaughter's
00:46:29battered natural core
00:46:30which was being ravenously consumed
00:46:32by the poison
00:46:32this supreme gaiety
00:46:34who ruled over the entire sanctuary
00:46:36felt his eyes turn instantly bloodluck
00:46:38immediately following
00:46:39a terrifying
00:46:40world-destroying pressure
00:46:43erupted violently from his body
00:46:47in an instant
00:46:48the skies above the entire supreme sanctuary
00:46:51shifted dramatically
00:46:52as the once bright heavens were enveloped
00:46:53by rolling black clouds
00:46:54and violent thunderbolts
00:46:55the ancient vines surrounding the royal hall
00:46:57which 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
00:47:04as the entire sacred mountain
00:47:06shook violently under the divine rage
00:47:08my father raised his right hand high
00:47:10the destructive divine lightning
00:47:11flashing 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
00:47:18as they echoed through heaven and earth
00:47:20the wind kingdom
00:47:22Ronan!
00:47:23you ants dare to torture my only daughter
00:47:25in such a manner
00:47:26and strike ruthlessly against my newborn granddaughter
00:47:29pass down my dissension pathways
00:47:31the wind kingdom
00:47:31whosoever dares harm my grawish
00:47:33I shall demand their entire kingdom
00:47:35accompany her in death
00:47:37to rescue iris from the brink of death
00:47:40my father did not hesitate for a moment
00:47:42immediately ordering the opening of the life core
00:47:44of the ancient sacred tree
00:47:46that had lived for 100,000 years
00:47:48within the forbidden grounds
00:47:49this was the energy source of the entire elfin world
00:47:53a place where even the high priests of the sanctuary
00:47:56had no right to approach normally
00:47:58yet it was fully open today
00:48:00for my daughter
00:48:01every top holy tier healer within the sanctuary
00:48:05was assembled overnight
00:48:11the golden life core floated gently above the sickbed
00:48:14radiating a soft, vast, and ocean-like purity of magic
00:48:17a canopy of brilliant golden light
00:48:19wrapped around iris's tiny body layer by layer
00:48:21like a coon nourished by this immense life force
00:48:24the faint golden divine mark on iris's forehead
00:48:27which had been nearly cracked and extinguished
00:48:29finally flickered with a weak resonance
00:48:32under the caress of the divine light
00:48:34I kept watch by the bedside
00:48:35my face pale
00:48:37never 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
00:48:45extracting the stubborn soul-eating grease poison
00:48:48from my daughter's body
00:48:49inch by inch
00:48:50every time that the poison was forced out
00:48:52my daughter would let our faint kitten-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
00:49:02my daughter
00:49:04watching her suffer
00:49:05tore at my heart
00:49:06as if it were being cut by 10,000 blades
00:49:08Ronan, Vanessa
00:49:10the pain you inflicted upon my child
00:49:12I will ensure you repay it a thousand times
00:49:14it was a grueling two days and nights
00:49:17of hovering between life 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
00:49:26iris 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
00:49:36the golden divine mark on her forehead
00:49:38restored completely
00:49:39and her once pale little face began to flush with color
00:49:42her skin radiating a healthy glow
00:49:45congratulations king
00:49:46congratulations holy princess
00:49:48the virilous poison within the little princess's body
00:49:50has completely dissolved
00:49:51not 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 and blue bubbles
00:49:57the 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
00:50:06Vanessa was gently helping Ronan into his robes
00:50:08however Ronan's brow was furrowed tightly
00:50:10his handsome face clouded with undeniable irritation and gloom
00:50:14right then a panic-starting bell rang out from outside the main temple
00:50:17several elders scrambled into the hall
00:50:18their faces as white as sheets
00:50:20lord disaster has struck
00:50:21the 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
00:50:36what did you say
00:50:38the passage is locked
00:50:42who could possibly have such power
00:50:44in that instant
00:50:45the image of Serafina's cold, ruthless phantom before her departure
00:50:49flashed through his mind
00:50:50and his heart sank
00:50:52could it be
00:50:53Serafina?
00:50:54but the moment the thought arose
00:50:56it was instantly crushed by the deep-rooted arrogance in his heart
00:50:59he let out a cold, self-decricketing laugh
00:51:02Serafina was nothing more than a lowly woman with no background
00:51:05inferior even to a low-tier elf of the Wintuary
00:51:08that happened to affect their kingdom
00:51:11seeing his distress
00:51:12Vanessa quickly moved closer
00:51:14wrapping 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?
00:51:33Ronan pressed his throbbing temples
00:51:35a strange sensation of losing his kingdom's fortune made him increasingly restless
00:51:40pushing Vanessa away
00:51:42he strode toward the covenant temple with a dark expression
00:51:47however
00:51:47the 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
00:51:54what are you panicking for?
00:51:56bring out the covenant jade plaques for Serafina and the infant
00:51:58I want to see where they are hiding and laughing at me
00:52:01my lord
00:52:02spare my life
00:52:03they
00:52:04they cannot be brought out
00:52:05just three days ago
00:52:07the primary mistress covenant mark under the tree of life
00:52:10was forcibly erased
00:52:12what did you say?
00:52:14forcibly erased?
00:52:16not only is it gone
00:52:17but the mother and daughter
00:52:18used an ancient secret ritual
00:52:20to completely delete
00:52:21all their holy names
00:52:22from the elfin race
00:52:23half 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
00:52:34to resort to such a self-harming
00:52:37despicable trick
00:52:38as deleting your holy name
00:52:40do you think you can escape just by doing that?
00:52:43I want to see how many days
00:52:44you can last out there
00:52:46with your dying daughter
00:52:47without the protection of the wind kingdom
00:52:50watching her daughter sleep peacefully
00:52:52in the divine light of the sacred tree
00:52:55Serafina slowly stood up
00:52:57the mole the tender 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
00:53:16slicing through the air like a blade
00:53:18as an invisible emotional barrier shattered
00:53:21the painful memories of her humiliation
00:53:23Ronin'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
00:53:30the 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
00:53:46he immediately gave his stern approval
00:53:48half an hour later
00:53:49the gates to the sanctuary's core forbidden ground swung open
00:53:52this was the sacred training pool exclusive to the heirs of the supreme royal family
00:53:55filled with primeval priadin magic accumulated over 10,000 years
00:53:58and to an ordinary high elf would explode and die from touching even a single drop
00:54:02and to enduring the agonizing pain of a complete bone-shattering transfer
00:54:05without any hesitation
00:54:07under the avarstek gaze of 10,000 pure-blooded elven guards
00:54:10seraphina stepped relutely into the terrifying surging sacred pool
00:54:14clad in a simple white robe
00:54:15boom
00:54:16the moment her body was completely submerged
00:54:18the ancient magic erupted
00:54:19unleashing towering golden waves
00:54:21the violent pre-pezzanard energy
00:54:23slashed through her merpicrians and bones like countless blades
00:54:25yet she did not even flinch
00:54:27the nine sore seals she had petitioned herself to repay her debt to Ronin
00:54:30began to shatter and unravel completely awakening her to dormant power under the furious onslaught
00:54:35smash
00:54:35Ronin shattered his communication array for the 12th time
00:54:39every time he tried to connect with seraphina through a soul transmission
00:54:43he was met with nothing but a cold empty echo
00:54:45and the piercing pain of magical backlash
00:54:48his frustration reached its peep as a suffocating panic of losing control gripped his throat
00:54:53just then the hall doors pushed open and Vanessa walked in smiling
00:54:57holding three-year-old Jasper by the hand
00:55:12Ronin turned his irritated gaze onto Jasper who was shouting and playing with a toy
00:55:17but as he looked, his breath caught
00:55:19whether it was due to the sudden loss of his kingdom's fortune
00:55:22looking at Jasper's arrogant and brash face felt unprecedentedly discordal
00:55:26the child's features lacked even a trace of the Wind Kingdom royal family's elegance
00:55:30showing instead a crude vulgarity
00:55:32what terrified him most was that the wind attributed magicic radiating from Jasper was crose and wild
00:55:37sharing absolutely no bloodline resonance
00:55:40with the pure biting royal bloodline in his own body
00:55:43when Vanessa gave birth to the child outside years ago
00:55:46crying that she had been hunted by enemies and forced to wander
00:55:50Ronin pitied her and never questioned the bloodline
00:55:53but now
00:55:58Ronin, why are you looking at Jasper like that?
00:56:03did he do something wrong?
00:56:04Rokon stared dead at the flash of panic in Vanessa's eyes
00:56:07his hands clenched tightly beneath his robes as something shattered within his heart
00:56:11taking a deep breath to suppress his immense suspicion
00:56:13he put on a cold disguise
00:56:15it is nothing
00:56:16I am simply tired
00:56:18you may leave
00:56:19the moment the doors closed
00:56:21Ronin's eyes turned incredibly sinister
00:56:23he looked toward the empty air and gave a ruthless command
00:56:26someone
00:56:26bring out the royal family's most secretive bloodline apriation arapis
00:56:30remember
00:56:30prepare it in secret
00:56:32find an opportunity to gather Jasper's hair and finger blood later
00:56:36Vanessa must not know a single thing about this
00:56:39if I find that his bloodline does not match
00:56:42I will ensure them die without a burial place
00:56:46meanwhile in the sanctuary
00:56:48around the forbidden sacred pool grounds
00:56:5010,000 pureblood high elven generals
00:56:52high priests and gradually cards of the divine king knelt across the mountains
00:56:55everyone held their breath
00:56:57looking up at the gradually calming sacred pool in awe
00:56:59suddenly faint golden ripple carrying supreme authority spread from the center of the pool
00:57:03a graceful noble figure slowly rose from the center of the water
00:57:07Seraphina's postpartum weakness and plast were entirely gone
00:57:10her skin shone like flawless white jade flowing with a sacred light
00:57:13and her once withered long hair turned into a dazzling golden color skating down to her ankles
00:57:18under the baptism of the ancient presided energy
00:57:20her appearance and magic were completely restored
00:57:23far surpassing her past peak
00:57:25the moment her feet left the water and she hovered in midair
00:57:28the space behind her tore violently
00:57:30boom
00:57:31accompanied by a divine phoenix cry that 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
00:57:40each feather condundated from the purest golden light of natural law
00:57:44with a slight flutter
00:57:45a terrifying pressure swept past like a tsunami
00:57:47unable to withstand the bloodline pressure from the depths of their souls
00:57:50the ten thousand pure-blooded elves slammed their foreheads against the ground
00:57:55as the sacred roof and echoed in harmony
00:57:57we welcome her majesty's ascension to the throne
00:58:07standing amid the golden light
00:58:09seraphana looked down at her subjects
00:58:10she raised her hand slightly
00:58:12feeling the terrifying magic capable of destroying heaven and earth
00:58:15a cruel cold smile playing on her lips
00:58:17the submissive lowly consort who had once begged for a flask of pure spring water for her daughter in the
00:58:21withern tower
00:58:21had completely died in this sacred pool today
00:58:24the one who lived now was the supreme empress
00:58:26who held the power over life and death for the entire elven sanctuary
00:58:31she turned her gaze towards the direction of the wind kingdom
00:58:34her murderous intent radiating palpably
00:58:39since seraphina's departure
00:58:40vanessa carried herself completely as the new mistress of the wind kingdom
00:58:44without the restraint of the legitimate primary mistress
00:58:47she tore off her past gentle disguise
00:58:49the first thing she did upon moving is replace all the decorations
00:58:51with the most luxurious gold silks
00:58:53she lived extravagantly and wastefully
00:58:56bathing in the rarest floral dew daily
00:58:58and even forcibly withholding nearly half of the lower tier elf's winter ravines
00:59:02just to fashion a sweeping dress embedded with deep sea magic krills
00:59:05furthermore vanessa was arrogant and harsh to the point of cruelty
00:59:08toward the servants and lower class elves of the kingdom
00:59:11mistress this is the silver needle tea you requested
00:59:13the temperature is just right
00:59:15it's scolding you useless wretch
00:59:17are you trying to ruin my face on purpose
00:59:19someone strip her of her elfin badge
00:59:21and banish her entire family to hard lavery at the wither tower
00:59:25panic gripped the main manor
00:59:27and the lower tier elves filled the air with grievances
00:59:29sitting in his study
00:59:30ronin listened to the constant shouting
00:59:32face slapping and crying from outside
00:59:33his temples throbbing
00:59:34looking at the ledger submitted by the council of elders
00:59:37which detailed vanessa's waste of tens of thousands of magic crystals over the past few days
00:59:41his face turned grim
00:59:42in the past when seraphina managed the household
00:59:45the entire wind kingdom was orderly
00:59:46she was always gentle understanding and proper
00:59:49choosing to live frugally rather than misappropriate a single penny from the kingdom
00:59:52even using her own source morna to nourish injured low tier soldiers
00:59:56roman instinctively touched the empty space beside his throne
00:59:59an unprecedented emptiness and regret washing over him like a tidal wave
01:00:02he began to desperately miss the woman who had always quietly waited for him
01:00:06but now no matter how much he searched the wind kingdom's territory
01:00:10he could no longer find a single trace of seraphina
01:00:15yet ronin had no idea that while he was drowning in endless regret and agony
01:00:18a dim storal lamp was burning in the most secluded subterranean chamber of the main manor
01:00:22dressed in her luxurious gown
01:00:23vanessa showed none of her usual arrogance
01:00:25slumping limply into the embrace of her old lover oswin
01:00:28the chief captain of the guards
01:00:29oswin's rough calloused hands gripped her slender waist tightly
01:00:32as their breaths mingled in a display of immacity and wanton behavior
01:00:35that suspicious red ronin stared at jasper for a long time today
01:00:39could he have discovered something
01:00:42my darling with me here what are you afraid of
01:00:44even if his suspicions lead him to test the bloodline he will never find a problem
01:00:48don't forget when he sent me to draw our son's blood
01:00:51i swapped it with my own
01:00:53that broken appraisal askel of his will only show an absolute blood relative
01:00:57oswin pulled vanessa closer tilting her chin up proudly
01:01:01if ronin hadn't been heavily injured and unconscious during the war three years ago
01:01:05allowing you to slip into my bed amid the chaos
01:01:08how else would he have become this cheap father
01:01:11and felt guilty enough to search for you for three whole years
01:01:15vanessa's beautiful eyes flashed with a venomous light as she laughed and pinched the man
01:01:19who told ronin to pride himself on being deeply affectionate
01:01:22when he is actually a fool who is easily deceived
01:01:25for three years he trampled seraphina the legitimate mistress
01:01:28into the dirt for the sake of jasper and mine
01:01:30little does he know the air he personally cherishes is actually your child
01:01:34a wild and greedy ambition as his flashed his voice turned low and vicious
01:01:39ronin is completely distracted every day because of seraph's disappears
01:01:42and the kingdom's fortune has mostly vanished for some reason
01:01:44the ascension passage is even closed
01:01:46in just a few more days we will deliver the fatal blow
01:01:52the inner frustration and the mysterious loss of his kingdom's fortune drove him near madness
01:01:56his mind troubled he walked aimlessly through the streets of the main city
01:02:00and inadvertently stopped in front of the infirmary
01:02:02looking at the somewhat dilapidated doors
01:02:05the image of seraphina weeping in absolute despair here
01:02:08suddenly flashed through his mind
01:02:10i must be losing my mind to have walked all the way here
01:02:12just as he turned to leave
01:02:13a stealthy figure carrying a bundle prepared to flee from inside the infirmary
01:02:17it was the doctor from before ever since seraphina umister erased her holy name and left
01:02:20causing half of the tree of life to wither
01:02:22this doctor had been tormented night and day by guilt and fear
01:02:25finally breaking down and preparing to escape overnight
01:02:27ronin's eyes turned sharp
01:02:28moving like lightning he materialized before the doctor
01:02:31blocking his path
01:02:32where do you think you are running
01:02:34what are you panicking for upon seeing me
01:02:37looking at ronin's rage distorted face
01:02:39and thinking of the rampant rumors about the primary mistress disappearance
01:02:41and the sacred trees withering
01:02:42the doctor's psychological defense collapsed completely
01:02:44with even needing to use a soul searching technique
01:02:46he fell to his knees in terror
01:02:48now coating frantically
01:02:49as tears and muses strem down his face
01:02:50lord spare my life
01:02:51i deserve to die
01:02:52i dare not hide it any longer
01:02:54the primary mistress did not lie
01:02:56she was not throwing a tamer fighting for effect
01:02:57ronin's heart skipped a beat
01:02:59a profound sense of foreboding enveloping his entire body
01:03:02make yourself clear
01:03:04what do you mean she didn't lie
01:03:05it was your daughter
01:03:06your daughter iris didn't catch an ordinary chill at all
01:03:10she was poisoned with the highly insidious soul-eating grass
01:03:13and her core had already begun to wither
01:03:15boom the doctor's words exploded in ronin's ears like a thunder mist
01:03:17leaving his pail and make him sway on his feet
01:03:20ronin grabbed the terrified fleeing doctor by the collar
01:03:23his eyes bloodshot like a cornered beast
01:03:26impossible i checked her myself that day
01:03:29her breathing was steady
01:03:30and her temperature was normal
01:03:31even you personally diagnosed it as a common chill
01:03:34how dabricate a poisoning story to me now
01:03:39it was all fake
01:03:41madadam vanessa forced me to do it
01:03:44it was her
01:03:45she fed the little princess a forbidden illusion potion before you arrived
01:03:49forcibly creating a false appearance of health
01:03:53the doctor's words cut like knives
01:03:55tearing ronin's self-rightless arrogant to pieces
01:04:00madadam vanessa bribed me and threatened my family's lives to maintain the illusion
01:04:04all to make you believe the primary mistress was just throwing a jealous fit
01:04:07so you would ignore the mother and daughter
01:04:09leaving the little princess to die from the poison
01:04:11and that flask of sacred tree extract
01:04:14hearing the word sacred tree extract
01:04:16ronin's body shook violently
01:04:18his face draining of all color
01:04:20that spiritual medicine was given to the primary mistress
01:04:23out of my sudden flash of consciousness
01:04:24it was not only an antidote to all poisons
01:04:26but the sole hope to save the little princess's life
01:04:28yet you
01:04:29you detested the primary mistress
01:04:31and forcibly snatched that medicine away
01:04:33to secure the position of the perfectly healthy jasper
01:04:36omen felt as if he'd been struck by lightning
01:04:39all strength instantly draining from his body
01:04:41boundless darkness and immense regret swallowed him like a tsunami
01:04:45he finally realized that seraphina had been telling the truth all along
01:04:49it was him
01:04:50he
01:04:50the father
01:04:51blinded by favoritism and interest
01:04:53who had personally snatched away his daughter's life-saving straw
01:04:57pushing his newborn
01:04:59child into the abyss of death
01:05:01a spray of crimson blood erupted from ronin's mouth
01:05:05as he collapsed onto his knees on the freezing stone pavement
01:05:08clutching his agonizingly painful chest
01:05:11letting out a desperate piercing streel
01:05:15seraphina
01:05:17iris
01:05:18what have i done
01:05:19what on earth have i done
01:05:21immense regret drove ronin completely mad
01:05:23disregarding the blood on his lips
01:05:25he scrammed back to his feet
01:05:26and ran back to the main hall like a madman
01:05:28at this moment
01:05:29he no longer cared about supreme cooperation
01:05:32or reaching the peak
01:05:34he only wanted to find his wife
01:05:36and save his daughter's life
01:05:38search
01:05:39mobilize all forces of the wind kingdom
01:05:41search every inch of land
01:05:43and even if you have to hunt through the forbidden forest
01:05:45bring back the primary mistress and the princess
01:05:48go now
01:05:53however one day passed
01:05:55then two days
01:05:56and for three whole days and nights
01:05:58the elite high elves brought back nothing but the desperate news of no trace found
01:06:02seraphina seemed to have dissolved into the wind
01:06:05vanishing completely without a trace
01:06:07failing to find his wife
01:06:09ronin's grief and self-blame gradually transformed into a towering merlison test
01:06:13he finally thought of the instigator
01:06:15vanessa
01:06:16vanessa
01:06:17vanessa
01:06:17you vicious wretch
01:06:19i will tear you into ten thousand pieces
01:06:21gripping the great sword of the wind god
01:06:23that symbolized his kingdom's power
01:06:25he strode toward vanessa's bedchamber
01:06:27brimming with murderous intent
01:06:29he wanted to settle the score with that evil woman
01:06:32and use the blood of vanessa and her son
01:06:34to atone for his actions against his wife and daughter
01:06:36however
01:06:37when he reached the chamber
01:06:39he found it completely empty
01:06:42unleashing his divine sense
01:06:43he followed a faint trace of magic
01:06:45straight into the desolate forest behind the temple
01:06:49the moon was dark and the wind howled through the silence of the desolate forest behind the temple
01:06:53ronin concealed his presence
01:06:54moving step by step into the shadow of the ancient trees with his great sword
01:06:58but before he could see clearly
01:06:59faint whispers and strugglings came from the thicket
01:07:01falling clearly into his ears
01:07:02slow down
01:07:03if that fool ronin finds out we are dead
01:07:06what are you afraid of
01:07:07he is completely distracted every day because of that wretch running around the world like a madman
01:07:11how could he have time for us
01:07:12i've already coordinated with governor gamma
01:07:14while he will strip the treasury of all magic crystals and public funds tonight and run
01:07:18boom ronin's mind went completely blank
01:07:19he knew these voices all too well
01:07:21one belonged to his chief captain of the guards oswin
01:07:23and the other belonged to vanessa white moonlight first love he had cherished for three years
01:07:26ronin trembled violently
01:07:27staring dead at the disheveled man and woman entwiled behind the tree
01:07:30speaking of which ronin really is an absolute fool
01:07:33for the past three days he has been holding that fake bloodline report
01:07:35comforting himself that jasper is his child
01:07:37completely unaware that the heir he raised with the kingdom's sacred medicine
01:07:40is actually your biological flesh and blood
01:07:43the truth slapped ronin across the face
01:07:45shattering his remaining self-respect and pride
01:07:47it turned out he was not only the murderer
01:07:49who had personally pushed his biological daughter to her death
01:07:51but also the world's biggest fool who had raised a bastard child
01:07:54for a pair of adulterers for three years
01:07:55kingdom was being eustarpted
01:07:59insolent fools you will pay for this
01:08:03unleashing and deblanted soul out when ronin erupted the great sword dream of rock
01:08:05with a leisurely sent him with leels and the sentry green people flying
01:08:08oswin and vanessa screamed as they hit the ground
01:08:10when vanessa saw ronin
01:08:12who stood there with overwhelming ferocity
01:08:14she lost her wits in terror
01:08:16ronin listen to me explain it's not what it looks like

01:08:22oswin and ronin have exhausted invite giant realize zord off course due to a lax limit
01:08:26active magic
01:08:27though this strike his teeth he pulled vanessa up and prinzled several poisonous smoke bombs
01:08:31with a loud explosion a toxic mist filled the area
01:08:33by the time the storm blew the mist away
01:08:35the disheveled couple had all flooded the wind forest using their familiarity with the de ground
01:08:39as the cold wind blew he looked around at the empty surroundings
01:08:42appearing as though he had aged a hundred years
01:08:44ronin fell to his knees
01:08:46his fingers digging into the dirt
01:08:48as he wept desperately
01:08:50like a beaten dog in the dead of night
01:08:54meanwhile inside the flawless radiant temple of life in the supreme sanctuary
01:08:59iris had completely recovered
01:09:00she was now dressed in garments woven from the rarest golden silk
01:09:04and sitting in a cradle carved from 10,000 year old munwa jiggling and blowing bubbles
01:09:08the supreme divine mark on her forehead flowed with brilliant colors
01:09:10exuding an incredibly noble bloodline
01:09:13standing beside the cradle
01:09:14seraphina gently played with her daughter
01:09:16her eyes filled only with maternal love
01:09:18as for the past humiliations and affection
01:09:21the high elfin king slowly walked over to his daughter
01:09:23looking at his reborn granddaughter with affection
01:09:26he then turned a serious gaze toward seraphina
01:09:28my daughter i have already ordered a complete block out
01:09:31against all past complications with the wind kingdom
01:09:34now that your bloodline has fully awakened
01:09:37and the supreme natural wings have grown behind your back
01:09:40it is time for you to assume your rightful responsibilities
01:09:43seraphina withdrawed her hand and turned to face her father
01:09:46her gaze calm and instaurative completely to blind of mortal weakness
01:09:49father i understand romantic attachments are nothing but a self-inflicted trap
01:09:54only supreme power can allow me to control my destiny
01:09:57and protect my iris for a lifetime of peace
01:10:00the father laughed with relief and immediately announced
01:10:03good i have already issued a decree to all kingdoms
01:10:06that the sanctuary ceremony will begin shortly
01:10:08you will officially inherit the throne
01:10:10and become the first high elfin queen of our supreme sanctuary in 10,000 years
01:10:15meanwhile the wind kingdom far at the edge of the continent
01:10:18had fallen into a perilous situation
01:10:20due to vanessa and oswin's betrayal and thief of the funds
01:10:22a fierce internal conflict erupted within the kingdom
01:10:25worse still because seraphina had erased her holy name
01:10:28and severed the tree of life withered
01:10:29causing the kingdom's overall magic to rapidly decline
01:10:31and their barrier to sh-
01:10:32roman sat on his broken throne
01:10:34emaciated and covered in stubble
01:10:36showing none of his past glory as a lord
01:10:38just then an old servant
01:10:40tremblingly presented a gathering order
01:10:42from the supreme sanctuary
01:10:43my lord
01:10:44a divine oracle has arrived from the supreme sanctuary
01:10:48the new supreme empress is about to ascend the throne
01:10:50and the coronation ceremony requires all kingdoms to pay homage
01:10:54does our kingdom attend
01:10:56a final ember of fanatical hope erupted in ronan's eyes
01:11:01he had no heart to manage the kingdom's mundane affairs
01:11:04because he knew time was running out for the wind kingdom
01:11:07their only salvation lay in aligning with the supreme sanctuary
01:11:11go prepare the highest specification of gifts
01:11:14and the entire kingdom will accompany me to the sanctuary to pay homage
01:11:192pian1 gripped the order tightly as if catching a final saving straw
01:11:22i have heard that destroy his harwell
01:11:24is this war of director bloodlines
01:11:26i'm possessing immense warfare
01:11:27and i'm my own trove just sending
01:11:28along as we act as a perfectly submittive
01:11:30in respect to the camarader protection from that stearmius empress
01:11:33our kingdom will be completely saved
01:11:36little did he know
01:11:37the opportunity he was so desperate to grovel for
01:11:40belonged to the very wife he had personally pushed into the abyss
01:11:46before the sanctuary coronation ceremony
01:11:48the finding walked belange to rest in the simplest deed at the secrescent edge of shanguangton's out
01:11:52it and nate stood alone on the noon in the other
01:11:54drathing below suketis and mar the d of trunshempil of surging through above fort noread
01:11:57ronan's mins raised to curse as if something canate was awakening within that divine light
01:12:01images of seraphina began to flash incontrollably through his mind
01:12:04her shyness when they first met
01:12:07her tenderness when healing his wounds
01:12:09and
01:12:10her cold resoluced gaze
01:12:12as she left the withered tower holding their daughter
01:12:16aloena walked up behind him wearing a cloak
01:12:18looking at her distracted son
01:12:20she let out a deep sigh
01:12:22roran stop thinking about it
01:12:24tomorrow is the critical day to meet the supreme empress
01:12:26the survival of our wind kingdom relies entirely on this single action
01:12:29you must not lose your composure
01:12:31rayon withdraw his gaze
01:12:33cripping his racing chest a bitter smile playing on his lips
01:12:36mother i was just thinking rafina was still here
01:12:37with her pure bloodline would she
01:12:39also be happy for me seeing this grand sight of ten thousand kingdoms paying homage tomorrow
01:12:42regrettably
01:12:43and no one could answer his belated affection and self-reflection
01:12:47on the day of the ceremony
01:12:48the supreme sanctuary shone with magnificent golden light
01:12:51piercing the sky
01:12:51the entire sacred mountain was to look inventable
01:12:54holy unicorns soared through the air
01:12:55as tribal leaders and ancient deities gathered to elders
01:12:58meanwhile was missly in the most remote corner at the outmost edge of the main hall
01:13:02not even daring to raise their heads
01:13:04as a sacred ancient bell echoed through the heavens
01:13:06a grand and vast chant filled the world
01:13:08silence across all kingdoms
01:13:10we welcome the ascension of her majesty
01:13:12the high elfin queen
01:13:13a supreme throne radiating immense authority
01:13:17slowly rose from the center of the tree
01:13:19ronan and his mother eleda pressed their heads
01:13:21firmly against the freezing floor tiles
01:13:23their bodies trembling violently under the supreme bloodline pressure
01:13:25that descended from above
01:13:26near of a strange procession under the immense pressure
01:13:28ronan managed to raise his head with great difficulty
01:13:31wanting to look upon the mysterious antres who could save his kingdom's life
01:13:34however
01:13:35when his gaze pierced through the golden light
01:13:38and clearly saw the figure sitting upon the supreme throne
01:13:42the massive natural wings unfurled behind her back
01:13:45and the daughter she held in her arms sucking her fing
01:13:48roman's pupils shrank violently in an instant
01:13:51as if struck by lightning
01:13:52his breath catching completely in his throat
01:13:54that face
01:13:56that noble cold and peerless high elven queen
01:13:59who ruled over the entire sanctuary
01:14:01was actually seraphina
01:14:05seraphina
01:14:06ronan's startled cry shattered the silence of the temple
01:14:08high priestess alonda looked up and recognized the beautiful empress
01:14:12radiating absolute authority from the altar
01:14:14she was connected
01:14:15i was wrong
01:14:16i truly know i was wrong
01:14:17please the useless woman they had trampled in the withered town
01:14:20two golden spears struck down with the force of natural law
01:14:26she looked down upon him
01:14:28who lay like a dead dog at the bottom of the steps
01:14:30while iris blew bubbles in her arms
01:14:31there was no hatred in her eyes
01:14:33only the disgust one would feel looking at an open sewer
01:14:37ronan do you think you are worthy of speaking my holy name
01:14:39do you think you are worthy of calling my daughter's name
01:14:42a golden beam of law became a massive hand of divine power
01:14:44and struck fethi ronan across the face
01:14:46slap
01:14:47half of his facial bones shatter gents
01:14:49and this slap is for your blinded side of his face
01:14:51and him comb scheming woman to true wife
01:14:53slap
01:14:54the harder backhand twisted your utter lack of conscience
01:14:57for personally stealing your biological daughter's life-saving medicine
01:15:00the leaders of the various kingdoms expressed their disdain
01:15:04and spit in disapproval
01:15:06clutching his swollen face
01:15:07self-respect was publicly trampled before all kingdoms
01:15:11his reputation was completely destroyed
01:15:15yes i deserve to be beaten
01:15:17i am a beast
01:15:18sir i mean as long as you vent your anger
01:15:20you can talk to me however you like
01:15:21just please let me rest our daughter kingdom
01:15:23ronan once a proud general
01:15:25now knelt in the dust
01:15:26his pleas echoed
01:15:27empty and desperate
01:15:28seeing an opportunity
01:15:29alita cast aside all dignity
01:15:31and began copycating frantically
01:15:32your divine majesty
01:15:33for the sub the wind kingdom
01:15:34being of the royal family
01:15:35thousand years
01:15:36please stay your hand
01:15:37and save our withering tree of life
01:15:38looking at the mother and icon
01:15:40who were still calculating for benefits even now
01:15:42the mockery on seraphina's boobs deepened to the extreme
01:15:45save you
01:15:46the wind kingdom only enjoyed its past glory
01:15:48because i nourished it with my supreme source power
01:15:50since you will reclaim everything i granted you
01:15:51she slowly raised her hand
01:15:53curving her fingers
01:15:54and made a grasping motion toward ronan and alation from afar
01:15:56in an instant
01:15:57the ancient wind laws inside ronan and alina
01:16:00which had been granted by the royal family
01:16:02turned into strands of golden light
01:16:03and were violently stripped from their bones and souls
01:16:06my magic
01:16:08my cultivation
01:16:12it was a stripping process more painful than death
01:16:15within moments ronan's cultivation plummeted
01:16:17from a high tea lord to something inferior
01:16:19even to an ordinary low tier elf
01:16:20turning him into a complete and vital
01:16:21pass down my divine adzit came from tyaz
01:16:23the wikirin of the ward can to point of his age be reduced to sinful withered wood
01:16:26forbidden from ever entering the sanctuary
01:16:28someone throw this disgusting pile of garbage out
01:16:30a divine guard kicked ronan hard in the abdomen
01:16:33sending the two broken stripped and thoroughly disgraced wretcheds
01:16:37tumbling down the nine layers of the altar
01:16:39amid the laughter of all kingdoms
01:16:43internal conflict spread like wildfire through the wind kingdom
01:16:46and the anger of the lower tier elves completely overthrew the main manor
01:16:48meanwhile lying on a bed in a side pavile
01:16:51the old woman alina trembled inside the empty room
01:16:53she had previously been blinded by greed secrecy
01:16:54accepting massive amounts of illicit wealth from vanessa oswin and gamma to secure their positions
01:16:58even the forceful snatching of iris's sacred tree extract had been driven largely by her own greed now
01:17:02retribution had arrived
01:17:03the kingdom was ruined
01:17:05the treasures were lost
01:17:06and even the eldest grandson jasper
01:17:08whom she had cherished night and day as the future hope of the kingdom
01:17:10was confirmed to be nothing to dirty bastard
01:17:12the heavy and terrifying karmic backlack transformed into invisible bullets
01:17:15cutting at her guilty soul night and day
01:17:17the extreme fear and massive mental shock
01:17:19drove the normally arrogant and harsh old woman completely sane
01:17:23that night as the sounds of rioting echo outside
01:17:26the old woman ended her guilty life with a white silk cord hanging from a beam in the cold lonely
01:17:31main manor
01:17:33the next morning when ronan pushed open the door
01:17:37and saw his mother's stiff body
01:17:39hanging in mid-air
01:17:41he only let out a few horny tragic laughs
01:17:44unable to squeeze out even a single tear
01:17:47meanwhile thousands of miles away from the wind kingdom at the frozen border
01:17:51an incredibly luxurious sacred carriage was hurtling through the sky
01:17:54the carriage compartment was stuffed with radiant rare treasures
01:17:57the entire foundation of the wind kingdom
01:17:59that vanessa and chief cap two wolves shown only with absolute os greed for wealth
01:18:02vanessa this chest of divine items belongs to me
01:18:06without my guard team coordinating
01:18:08you wouldn't have even made it out the main gates of the manor
01:18:10nonsense without the lord's talisman that i stole
01:18:13what would you even be
01:18:14these treasures are my reliance for the rest of my life don't you dare take a single penny
01:18:17in the face of interest their past familiarity vanished completely
01:18:20due to an unfair distribution of the spoils
01:18:22malice erupted in both of them
01:18:23and they immediately engaged in a fierce magical brawl inside the narrow carriage
01:18:27wild wind blades and toxic mists clashed violently inside the compartment
01:18:31creating continuous loud explosions
01:18:33as the out of control carriage traveled along a highly treacherous mountain path
01:18:36the draft bears panicked and went wild
01:18:48amid a piercing streak the out of control carriage plunged off the cliff edge
01:18:53carrying the couple and the treasures they had schemed so hard to steal
01:18:56crashing heavily into the boulder stretch bottom of the deep valley
01:19:01beneath the deep valley the rain poured heavily
01:19:04the carriage had shattered completely
01:19:05with broken wood and magic crystals scattered across the ground
01:19:08amid the rubble
01:19:09the bodies of vanessa and ashwick lay twisted together
01:19:12torn apart by the wild magic to the point of being unrecognizable
01:19:15dying an incredibly gruesome death
01:19:17that green tea face that had once used illusion potions
01:19:21to maintain a false appearance of perfection
01:19:23was now sliced and bloodied by the rocks
01:19:27buzz
01:19:28space rippled slightly as several royal guards clad in pure gold robes
01:19:31quietly descended upon the crash site
01:19:33seraphina did not even need to act personally
01:19:35merely sending the sanctuary's cleanup group to wrap things up
01:19:38this is the heavenly karma for those who betray her majesty
01:19:41the guards raised their hands
01:19:43golden light surging from from their palms
01:19:45as the magic arenas activated
01:19:46the scattered ancient treasures and sacred resource of the wind kingdom
01:19:49were entirely gathered and reclaimed
01:19:51these items carried a significant amount of fortune
01:19:53and now that they were continuously funneled into the treasury of the supreme always had
01:19:57the villains had calculated everything
01:19:59only to lose their lives in the end and turn the wind kingdom's thousands of years
01:20:04of accumulation into a stepping stone to secure seraphia's supreme royal power
01:20:09which was ironic to the extreme
01:20:12having lost everything he sank completely into boundless darkness
01:20:15he had no mother no kingdom and no status to pride himself on
01:20:19whenever night fell across the empty ruins
01:20:20he seemed to hear her gentle voices and another's painful cries from her swaddling clothes
01:20:23those memories transformed into the most brutal torture
01:20:26tearing his mind apart bit by bit
01:20:28seraphina
01:20:28look i brought the sweetest spring water for our daughter today
01:20:31he began to exhibit severe split personality symptoms
01:20:34at times he would kneel on the ground and slap himself frantically
01:20:37crying out that he shouldn't have snatched his daughter's life-saving medicine
01:20:40at other times he would embrace the empty air gently
01:20:43pretending his wife and child were still by his side
01:20:46vanessa
01:20:47you vicious red
01:20:49give me back my daughter
01:20:51give me back my happiness
01:20:52he drowned his sorrows in alcohol all day
01:20:55his mind become increasingly fractured
01:20:57as he remained trapped indefinitely within the endless regret he had personally fashioned
01:21:01roman curled up in the corner of a freezing stone seat
01:21:05his clothes tattered
01:21:06his once proud spine broken by regret
01:21:09his hands were blooded and his fingernails filled with mud
01:21:12from frantically digging through the rubble for garments seraphana had left behind
01:21:19look at that
01:21:20that's the wise lord who trampled his true wife
01:21:24for a green tea woman back then
01:21:29he really is a pathetic dog
01:21:32ronian was completely deaf to these mocks
01:21:34merely clutching a tattered cloth doll tightly to his chest
01:21:37a toy he had fashioned for iris from memory
01:21:39since his magic was entirely gone
01:21:42his appearance was aging at a visible rate
01:21:44his long hair turning into dry white strands
01:21:46whenever the harsh alcohol hit his throat
01:21:49he would begin to self-harm
01:21:51he used sharp stones to carve the name seraphina
01:21:55deeply into his arms drawing blood yet it could not stop the splitting pain in his chest
01:22:03seraphina
01:22:04this is retribution
01:22:06this is my retribution
01:22:08you let me live
01:22:11only to find that every second of being alive
01:22:14is an absolute hell
01:22:16the once high and mighty king had ultimately transformed into a mentally degranged madman
01:22:21fighting with wild dogs for food in the ruins
01:22:24death would be a merciful release for him
01:22:26and remaining conscious to endure this life sentence of regret
01:22:29was his ultimate punishment
01:22:32as for jasper
01:22:33the three-year-old fake he who had been pampered by the entire kingdom
01:22:37he was after all
01:22:38an innocent and ignorant child
01:22:40who did not understand the greed and sins of adults
01:22:42with the deaths of vanair and osquin
01:22:44the vanity privileges and flambrity that had once around him
01:22:46him vanished overnight
01:22:47once the truth of the royal bloodline array spread
01:22:49he was no longer the high and mighty young master
01:22:52and the silver of magic he had forced out by stealing iris sacred tree extract
01:22:55completely withered due to a lack of subsequent nourishment
01:22:57the forged mark on his forehead disappeared
01:22:59and he was reduced to a perfectly ordinary mediocre child
01:23:04take him away
01:23:06let him become an ordinary farming child at the border
01:23:10this ruin of the wind kingdom should not retain a bloodline of sin
01:23:16father
01:23:17mother
01:23:19where did you go
01:23:25jasper will be good from now at once
01:23:30he no longer had a luxurious golden cradle
01:23:32or a crowd of attendants surrounding him
01:23:34he was sent to a remote village far from power strangles
01:23:37becoming an ordinary orphan who knew nothing of his birth parents
01:23:41perhaps staying far away from the grievers here
01:23:45the coronation ceremony lasted for seven days
01:23:48before finally came to a successful conclusion
01:23:50seraphina stood atop the highest altar of the supreme sanctuary
01:23:53with past severing her ties
01:23:54completely submission
01:23:56weakness
01:23:56and ridiculous mortal affection to radiate and natural wings behind her back over all the world
01:24:01and by her side she held the hand of a beautiful smiling young girl
01:24:04iris had completely recovered
01:24:05not only was the supreme bloodline within her body fully awakened
01:24:08but her large eyes shone as brightly as a galaxy
01:24:10shaking her little head
01:24:11she held seraph onto the divine throne that symbolized the highest power of the elfin world
01:24:14amid the mountain shattering worship of all living being
01:24:17mother it's so beautiful here
01:24:20will anyone dare to bully us from now on
01:24:24seraphina looked down
01:24:26gently stroking the brilliant supreme golden mark on her forehead
01:24:29her eyes filled with maternal resolve
01:24:33no my darling
01:24:34from this day forward mother will protect you
01:24:36and no one will ever be able to harm you in the slightest
01:24:39mother and daughter sat side by side upon the divine throne
01:24:41beneath their feet lay the vast prospering territory of the elven royal family
01:24:45the empress who had cast aside romantic attachments now stood alone in her divinity
01:24:48ruling over the sanctuary and beginning a legendary era that belonged entirely to them
