Short filmTranscript
00:03After the war between Dragon Court and Green Faction, my sister's husband returned safely
00:08while mine fell in battle. Everyone pitied me, but I knew the truth. The man who came back was
00:14not my brother-in-law. It was my husband, Kaylin. He and Lucien were twin brothers,
00:19near equal in power. No one suspected a thing. Kaylin pulled me aside to explain.
00:24Lyra, I did this for the greater good. Lucien is the crown prince of the Dragon Court.
00:30If the clan hears the crown prince died in battle, chaos follows. Your sister is gentle.
00:35She cannot bear that loss. I am only keeping watch over her. Once things have settled,
00:43I will return to your side. I believed every word, until Kaylin had me executed,
00:48on charges of conspiring with the demon clan. Watching him hold my sister close, I finally
00:53understood. Every last thing had been his design. When I opened my eyes again, I was back. The day
00:59the Dragon Court celebrated their great victory. The day the news arrived that my husband had fallen
01:04in battle, Kaylin stood with my sister, holding her in silence while the clan cast pitying glances my
01:10way. Without a moment's hesitation, I chose to remarry. Kaylin thought taking the crown prince's place
01:16meant power. He had no idea. Walking away from me meant losing his only path to the throne.
01:23Lyra, Salem is... he's gone.
01:27It was the Dragon King who spoke. He had two sons. One had become crown prince and had taken
01:32my sister as his princess. The other was my husband, Kaylin. He sat on the throne, staring at his
01:37brother's coffin. Grief painted perfectly across his face. Before I could speak, my sister's voice cut
01:43through the silence. Her voice is soft but performative. Little sister, I know how much
01:49pain you're in. She looked down at me, eyes full of practiced sorrow. It's all right to cry. I lifted
01:55my gaze, not to her, but to the man at her side. My husband, wearing his dead brother's name.
02:00Kaylin's fingers interlaced with my sister's. He felt my stare, turned his head, something flickered
02:05across his face that looked almost like shock. I nearly laughed. Kaylin's performance was as flawless
02:11as ever. Last life, it took me months to believe the man beside my sister was really him. This time
02:16I already knew. A whale split the air. The Dragon Queen threw herself across the coffin, tears streaking
02:22her face. Then she spun and pointed at me. She never wanted me for her son. I had once brought
02:34my
02:34doubts to Kaylin and he had sworn to me with absolute certainty. No matter what, I will always take your
02:40side. His mother slapped me without warning. Her palm cracked across my cheek so hard the hall went
02:45still. She raised her hand again. The Dragon King barked at his guards to intervene. Enough!
02:53The hall erupted into chaos. Through all of it, Kaylin stood quietly at my sister's side,
02:59holding her hand. He reached into his coat and produced a small, glimmering stone, a water spirit
03:03stone, pale blue, luminous. He held it out to my sister like an offering. He murmured,
03:09low and tender. Sarah, I brought this back for you. I smiled without warmth. I had always wanted a
03:18water spirit stone. In my last life, I had asked Kaylin for one, begged him. Every time he left for
03:24war, he always said yes, but I never received it. Now I understood. He had in trouble and forgotten to
03:30look. He had simply never intended to give it to me. My sister noticed me watching. Her expression
03:35cooled. She stepped slightly in front of Kaylin, shielding him. She said,
03:39Why do you keep staring at my husband? The Dragon King exhaled slowly.
03:45Lyah, by the laws of our house, when a spouse falls in battle, the surviving partner must remain
03:51in mourning for a hundred years. I won't force you, but I need to know. What will you do?
03:58I shook my head. I choose the second path. I'll remarry.
04:02Silence. The entire hall went motionless.
04:07Kaylin spoke first.
04:09Absurd!
04:10His voice was tight.
04:11Lyra, you can't marry someone else.
04:14The Dragon King and my sister exchanged a glance, both suddenly alert.
04:19The King, confused but measured, turned to Kaylin.
04:23Lucian, this is your brother's widow's private matter. It isn't your place.
04:29Kaylin went silent. His jaw worked. His eyes stayed fixed on me.
04:33My sister stepped forward, her voice sharp with accusation.
04:37Lyah, your husband just died. His body is barely cold. And you're already talking about remarrying?
04:45The Dragon King's voice was poisoned.
04:48If Kaylin hadn't insisted on marrying you, I never would have let a woman like you through our doors.
04:55I kept my voice level.
04:58Kaylin loved me deeply. I know he wouldn't want me to waste a hundred years grieving.
05:05I'm remarrying.
05:07Lyra!
05:08The Dragon King raised his hand, cutting him off.
05:10Enough. If Lyra has decided, we honor it.
05:15One condition.
05:17By ancient law, your new husband must be a man of House Draconis.
05:23I turned to face the hall. Hundreds of faces stared back at me.
05:26Is there any man here willing to take me as his wife?
05:30Silence.
05:31One man shifted forward, then was yanked back by his family.
05:35Another met my eyes and looked away as if I were something dangerous.
05:38I felt the weight of it settle over me. Two paths. That was all fate had ever given me.
05:44Mourn? Or remarry? Was there truly no third option?
05:49Kaylin watched from across the hall and a smile touched his mouth.
05:52Lyra!
05:53He said,
05:53No man here will take you. Mourn properly.
05:57He said it like it was already decided.
06:00My stomach turned.
06:02Then a shadow fell from above, a figure dropped down, landing clean at the center of the hall.
06:06I will.
06:07I looked up. It was Dracian, the dragon warlord. The man they called the God of Slaughter.
06:17He dropped to one knee before the dragon king, his voice unwavering.
06:21My king, I will marry Lyra.
06:24Draxian, this has nothing to do with you. Let me give you some advice.
06:28My brother just died. Lyra is already running to remarry.
06:32Aren't you afraid she'll be the death of you too?
06:34Dracian stood. He stepped between us, his back to Kaylin, his eyes on me alone.
06:40Your highness.
06:41He said, voice quiet and cold.
06:43Lyra is your brother's widow. You should be protecting her. Instead, you're building a case against her.
06:49Kaylin's jaw tightened.
06:51I'm only speaking the truth.
06:52Dracian ignored him. He turned to me fully.
06:55Lyra.
06:56His voice dropped.
06:57Will you marry me? I will be faithful to you. I will never leave your side.
07:01Let the heavens witness this. If I break this oath, may my soul be destroyed.
07:07Something shifted in my chest. I looked into his eyes. There was nothing there but certainty.
07:11I nodded. Yes.
07:14There was nothing left for Kaylin to say.
07:16Dracian and I sealed the bond right there in the hall.
07:19The dragon king watched us, then waved a tired hand.
07:21Go.
07:22He turned to address the gathered court.
07:24I am old. I have lost a son. I no longer have the heart to rule.
07:30In three days, I will pass the crown to Lucian.
07:35Lucian was my brother-in-law's name, the real crown prince.
07:38Now, worn by Kaylin like a stolen coat.
07:41I turned it over in my mind.
07:44In my last life, the dragon king never passed the throne to Kaylin.
07:48Not even after I was dead.
07:49So, why was it happening earlier this time?
07:52I didn't get to think long.
07:54As the crowd dispersed, Kaylin drifted past me.
07:57I heard him clearly.
07:58Pathetic girl.
07:59You'll regret this.
08:02That night, I moved out of Kaylin's quarters and into Dracian's territory.
08:06The servants whispered the moment we were out of earshot.
08:08The warlord has everything going for him.
08:11Shame about his judgment.
08:12The prince isn't even called yet, and she's already jumping into someone else's bed.
08:16The dragon queen said she's cursed, didn't she?
08:19I really hope she doesn't get the warlord killed, too.
08:21I listened through the window with a faint smile.
08:28I glanced at Dracian and said dryly,
08:31One marriage in and I've already ruined your reputation.
08:34Dracian frowned.
08:35Don't say that.
08:37Lyra, give me half a day.
08:39They won't say another word about you behind your back.
08:43I sighed.
08:44I don't actually care.
08:46Last life, I mourned a living man, swallowed every humiliation, and died screaming in front
08:51of a crowd.
08:52This life, Dracian gave me warm rooms, fine clothes, and the best the dragon court had
08:57to offer.
08:58He had made sure of it without being asked.
09:01I was more than satisfied.
09:03Before he blew out the lamp, I heard him mutter under his breath,
09:06Reputation doesn't matter.
09:08As long as I have you, that's enough.
09:11I lay awake for a long time.
09:13Not long after, Sarah summoned me to the palace.
09:15She was to be the next dragon queen.
09:17The maids were bringing in heavy, ornate, ceremonial robes.
09:21She held the crown up to her head and turned it this way and that, then looked at me.
09:26Lyra, honestly, who do you think looks better in this?
09:28Me or the current dragon queen?
09:30I said nothing.
09:31She kept going, pleasant and self-satisfied.
09:35Sometimes in life you just have to accept the way things are.
09:39You were always the clever one.
09:41And yet here I am, becoming dragon queen.
09:44She had been like this since we were children, always needing to be ahead of me.
09:49My eyes drifted to the cluttered table and landed on the water spirit stone Kaylin had
09:54given her.
09:55A thought clicked into place.
09:57When Sarah was young, she had been drowned in the water by a river spirit during a training
10:01exercise.
10:02She had barely survived.
10:04She hated water spirit stones.
10:06My real brother-in-law, the true crown prince, remembered that.
10:10He had kept it in mind for years.
10:12But Kaylin had given her one anyway, because Kaylin wasn't him.
10:16I spoke quietly.
10:17Do you really not know that the man beside you isn't your husband?
10:21Sarah's hand went still.
10:26She had known all along.
10:27She had watched Kaylin steal her own husband's identity, and watched me walk toward my death
10:32without a word.
10:33All for a crown.
10:34Tears filled my eyes before I could stop them.
10:36You knew the whole time.
10:38I said.
10:39Did any part of you see me as your sister?
10:42She laughed, short and cold.
10:44What's Sister Hook actually worth?
10:46I'll be honest with you.
10:48As long as he carries the title, and I become dragon queen.
10:51She met my eyes without flinching.
10:53I don't care which brother he is.
10:55Her eyes narrowed.
10:56As for you, stay quiet.
10:59Mourn properly.
11:01If you behave, I'll take care of you once I'm queen.
11:04But if you open your mouth about any of this, I will not let you walk away.
11:08The cold move blew me and waved.
11:10Word for word.
11:11The same thing Kaylin had said to me in my last life.
11:14And in the end, neither of them had let me walk away.
11:17Before I could respond, the door opened.
11:19Kaylin entered with his mother and the dragon king by his side.
11:22When he saw me, he stopped.
11:24His eyes sharpened.
11:26Guilty.
11:26Laia.
11:27What are you doing here?
11:28The dragon queen curled her lip.
11:30Why aren't you with your new husband?
11:32What brings you to the palace?
11:35Sarah manufactured two tears and leaned into Kaylin's side.
11:38She's just in pain from losing Kaylin.
11:41She didn't know what she was doing.
11:43Kaylin put an arm around her, then he looked at me.
11:45Voice full of cold contempt.
11:47Nobody wanted my brother dead.
11:49But you wouldn't mourn him.
11:50You ran straight to another man.
11:52His voice dropped.
11:53And now you're taking your frustration out on your own sister.
11:56Get out!
12:00I looked at him for a long moment.
12:02Then I smiled.
12:04Fine.
12:05The reckoning would come.
12:06Just not today.
12:08The next day, Dracian and I were invited to Kaylin's coronation.
12:11Kaylin had assumed his brother's identity and been named the dragon king's heir.
12:15He still needed the blessing of the blood pack to complete the coronation.
12:19But in everyone's eyes, including his own, it was already settled.
12:23He stood at the top of the steps in silver armor,
12:25Sarah on his arm, smiling like the crown was already his.
12:28I watched him and thought about his last life.
12:31The dragon king had once asked Kaylin directly,
12:35Your twin brother has been named crown princeant.
12:37Does that make you resentful?
12:39And Kaylin answered without hesitation,
12:42My brother is stronger and more capable than I am.
12:44He deserves to be crown princeant.
12:46I have nothing but respect for him.
12:49And then he stole everything.
12:50I shook my head.
12:51I had spent a whole lifetime failing to see through him.
12:54Kaylin brought Sarah over to where we were standing.
12:57He glanced at Dracian.
12:58Something dark moved through his eyes.
13:00Then he turned to me with a smooth smile.
13:03Laia,
13:05I know you still have feelings for Kaylin,
13:07but you choose to remarry.
13:09Try to focus on your new life.
13:10Before I could answer,
13:12Dracian said easily,
13:13No need for the crown prince's concern.
13:17Lyra treats me very well.
13:19Warmth moved through me.
13:20I looked at the two of them standing there so pleased with themselves.
13:24Crown prince,
13:25I said mildly,
13:26Are you absolutely certain the coronation will go smoothly today?
13:30Sarah's brows snapped together.
13:32What does that mean?
13:34Lyra,
13:34are you putting a curse on us?
13:39Kaylin's gaze turned sharp with fury,
13:42but with the whole hall watching it,
13:44all he did was take Sarah's arm and murmur,
13:46Don't bother with her.
13:47Let's go.
13:53The coronation began.
13:55Kaylin climbed the steps
13:56and fixed his eyes on the crown in his father's hands.
13:59Pure hunger.
14:01Nothing else.
14:02The high cleric raised his staff.
14:04Call upon the blood pact.
14:06Let the inheritance descend.
14:08Thunder rolled through the sky.
14:10Just as the phoenix bloodline must burn and rise,
14:14every dragon king must survive the thunder trial.
14:18If the ancient pact accepts the air,
14:20the lightning causes no harm.
14:22Kaylin gripped Sarah's hand
14:24and stood at the center of the altar.
14:26The first bolt of lightning fell.
14:29I watched from the crowd.
14:30The color drained from both their faces.
14:33The second bolt,
14:34the third.
14:35Sarah choked and spat blood.
14:36Her knees hit the ground.
14:38Kaylin's face had gone white.
14:39The dragon king rose to his feet in shock.
14:42Murmurs rippled through the hall.
14:44When the previous dragon king received the crown,
14:46it was nothing like this.
14:47Does this mean the crown prince and princess
14:50aren't accepted by the pact?
14:5381 strikes in total.
14:55He once a blessing for the true heir.
14:57Now nothing but torture.
14:59By the tenth bolt,
15:00Kaylin was on his knees too.
15:02In desperation,
15:03the dragon king threw up a barrier with his own power,
15:06barely holding the bolts at bay.
15:08But that made the coronation meaningless.
15:10The hall fell into silence.
15:13Everyone stared at Kaylin and Sarah
15:15and waited for an explanation.
15:17Kaylin dragged himself upright.
15:18He looked at the dragon king with a face
15:21full of forced calm.
15:23Father,
15:24there must have been an error in the ritual.
15:26I'm willing to try again.
15:28The dragon king hesitated.
15:29I exhaled slowly
15:30and spoke
15:32into silence.
15:33It won't work.
15:35Stop struggling.
15:36They're both imposters.
15:38Why would the blood pact ever accept them?
15:40The hall went utterly still.
15:43Only my voice hung in the air.
15:45Dration looked down at me, startled.
15:46But there was no doubt in his expression.
15:49Only confusion.
15:50Kaylin stared at me,
15:51fury and guilt fighting in his eyes.
15:53Sarah wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
15:56She started crying
15:57and pointed at me.
15:58It's Lila.
15:59She's jealous that I'm becoming dragon queen.
16:01She's lying to destroy us!
16:05The dragon king turned to me with a grave expression.
16:10Liar.
16:12I understand you have grievances.
16:15But this isn't the day for it.
16:18Your sister Sarah is the crown princess.
16:22Lucian is the heir I designated.
16:24How could they possibly be imposters?
16:27The dragon queen stepped forward,
16:29already furious.
16:29Enough talking!
16:31What's the point?
16:32Kaylin married her and died.
16:34Now Lucian steps up for the crown
16:36and she's here ruining everything.
16:39She's nothing but a curse.
16:40Remove her.
16:42She ordered the guards forward.
16:43Dration moved in front of me
16:45before they took a step.
16:46His eyes were eyed.
16:49Draxian, touch her and find out what happens.
16:55I took his hand and looked past him to the dragon king.
16:58Your majesty,
16:59do you remember the two conditions
17:01for the coronation contract?
17:03The dragon king, bewildered but still listening,
17:05answered slowly,
17:06The heir must hold a legitimate claim to the throne
17:09or their bonded partner must carry royal blood.
17:16One condition is enough for the blood pact to accept.
17:20Two faces in the crowd went rigid at the same moment.
17:22Kaylin stared at the dragon king in disbelief.
17:27Father, why did you never tell me that?
17:29The dragon king's expression hardened.
17:31What do you mean I never told you?
17:33When I named you crown prince,
17:35I passed on every secret of the dragon bloodline.
17:40Lucian, you were always careful.
17:42How could you forget something this important?
17:44Kaylin opened and closed his mouth.
17:47I, I...
17:50I answered for him.
17:52Your majesty,
17:54can't you see it yet?
17:56This isn't crown prince Lucian.
17:59This is his twin brother Kaylin,
18:01your second son.
18:03The hall exploded.
18:04The dragon king's eyes went wide.
18:06The dragon queen surged to her feet.
18:08How dare you?
18:09You took one son from me.
18:12Now you want to destroy the other's name too?
18:15I walked onto the altar.
18:16I moved toward Kaylin slowly and steadily.
18:19He backed away like he'd seen a ghost.
18:21What do you think you're doing?
18:23Ten years ago,
18:24Kaylin saved my life.
18:26A sea spirit's venom burned through his chest.
18:29He almost died.
18:31That scar is fused to the soul.
18:34No magic can erase it.
18:37That was why I believed him for so long in my last life.
18:40Who would have thought the man who once nearly died for me would one day sentence me to death?
18:44I reached for the front of his armor.
18:46He kept backing up.
18:47He wouldn't even let Sarah come closer.
18:49He shouted at me, voice cracking.
18:50Liar.
18:51Have you lost your mind?
18:53I am your brother-in-law.
18:56The dragon king had heard enough.
18:58He signaled two guards.
19:00Kaylin fought them.
19:01It didn't matter.
19:02When they pulled back his armor, the hall went silent.
19:04Right there on his chest.
19:06A scar like a tear burned into pale skin.
19:08White and permanent and impossible to fake.
19:12Unmistakable.
19:13Undeniable.
19:14The dragon queen pointed at Kaylin.
19:16Couldn't find words.
19:17And collapsed.
19:18The dragon king coughed up black blood and dropped to one knee.
19:21Your majesty!
19:23The high cleric and the elders rushed to catch him.
19:26Kaylin didn't look at his father once.
19:28His eyes were already on me.
19:30Liar.
19:32How did you know?
19:33Then he caught himself.
19:34No, it's impossible.
19:35I was careful.
19:36Everyone who knew the truth is gone.
19:37I bit down hard and held back the tears.
19:42How could I not recognize you?
19:43He was my husband and we have known each other since childhood.
19:46The dragon king himself had once joked that no one knew Kaylin better than I did.
19:51I had loved him completely.
19:53The dragon king's grief curdled into rage.
19:56Kaylin.
19:57He was your brother.
19:59Your own blood.
20:00Kaylin exploded.
20:02So what?
20:05My whole life, all anyone ever talked about was how brilliant he was.
20:08When my brother died, I took his place.
20:11And none of you even noticed.
20:13Our power was identical.
20:15Why was it always him and never me?
20:18The high cleric stepped forward.
20:19Your power was never identical.
20:22Karian's far exalted yours.
20:24I ran the bloodline trial myself.
20:27He was the most gifted heir I had seen in a thousand years.
20:31Kaylin went still.
20:32That's a lie.
20:33If he was stronger, why couldn't I feel it?
20:35The high cleric sighed helplessly.
20:37Because he hid it.
20:38Every single day.
20:40He didn't want you to feel lesser.
20:42Which is also why, when you took his place, we couldn't tell the difference.
20:47I already knew this.
20:48Years ago, a sea spirit ambushed us.
20:51Kaylin went down fast.
20:52I held the creature off alone, wounded.
20:55Then Lucian arrived.
20:56One strike.
20:57The sea spirit was dead.
20:59Kaylin had fought that same spirit for over an hour and never landed a blow.
21:04Afterward, Kaylin complained to me about it.
21:07If I hadn't been caught off guard, that thing never would have touched me.
21:10I never told Kaylin the truth.
21:11He had believed that lie for years.
21:13Now he sank to the ground, hollow-eyed, murmuring to himself.
21:17I had you wrong.
21:18All this time.
21:20The high cleric frown.
21:23There's still something that doesn't add up.
21:26Even with an imposter on the throne, the crown prince carries legitimate dragon royal blood.
21:31The crown princess is phoenix clan by birth.
21:34The blood pack shouldn't have punished them this severely.
21:39Unless...
21:39I glanced at Sarah, who had been quietly shrinking toward the back of the crowd.
21:43I smiled.
21:45Unless the crown princess was never legitimate phoenix blood to begin with.
21:49Sarah was shaking.
21:51Liar, you liar!
21:53I'm your sister!
21:54If I'm not legitimate, what does that make you?
21:57She crawled to the dragon king.
21:59Your majesty, I knew nothing of Kaylin's impersonation.
22:03The punishment is his alone!
22:04Kaylin looked up at her in disbelief.
22:06I laughed to myself.
22:08Last life, I hadn't found out until I was already dying.
22:13Kaylin had been in love with Sarah long before any of this.
22:16Two glimpses of her at a clan banquet and he was gone.
22:18After he took the crown, he had poured every rare treasure he could find into her hands,
22:23desperate to please her.
22:24And she had discarded him the moment things went wrong.
22:27The dragon king forced himself upright and looked at me.
22:29Lila, Sarah is your sister.
22:32Same father.
22:33How can you call her an imposter?
22:35Same father, different mother.
22:41My mother died not long after I was born.
22:44By the time I could remember anything, Sarah was already there.
22:47Already my older sister.
22:48My father told me to respect her.
22:50So I did.
22:51Until my last life, when I caught Sarah alone at a memorial altar.
22:55Father hid you under another woman's name your whole life.
22:58When I become dragon queen, you were my real mother.
23:02I never got to tell anyone what I heard.
23:05Kaylin had me executed first.
23:06I look at Sarah.
23:08Your mother and my father were lovers for years.
23:10But he thought her bloodline was too low, so he buried it.
23:14After my mother died, he claimed she'd delivered twins and brought you in.
23:18Yours was a pheasant spirit.
23:20You were never legitimate.
23:22Before Sarah could speak, Kaylin lunged and locked both hands around her throat.
23:26The dragon king shouted for the guard.
23:28Kaylin broke.
23:29He locked both hands around Sarah's throat.
23:32Everything.
23:32I planned everything.
23:34And it was all for nothing.
23:36You lied to me.
23:37You let me believe you were worth all of it.
23:39And you're better?
23:40Lyra is the real heir.
23:42You had her and threw her away.
23:44You're the fool here.
23:46Not me.
23:48That landed.
23:49Kaylin released her.
23:50Let her crumble to the ground.
23:52Then he turned and dropped to his knees at my feet.
23:54His face was wrecked.
23:56Lyra, I had reasons.
23:57I swear I did.
24:01I was going to take the throne, fix everything, then come back to you.
24:04I never knew Sarah wasn't legitimate.
24:06Lyra, I was wrong.
24:08Come back to me.
24:09Anything you want, I'll do it.
24:11I tilted my head and looked down at him.
24:13Anything?
24:14He nodded frantically.
24:15I knew exactly what he was thinking.
24:17Under dragon clan law, impersonating the crown prince meant losing everything.
24:21But the clan needed a dragon king.
24:23And my bloodline could still satisfy the blood pack.
24:26If I went back to him, he could still take the throne.
24:29Why would I ever give him that?
24:31I looked him in the eye.
24:32I want you dead.
24:33His face went white.
24:35Every humiliation he had put me through came flooding back.
24:38I hated him to the bone.
24:40I met his eyes.
24:41Every word is cold and deliberate.
24:43Honestly, I want you to suffer every second of it.
24:46Kaylin's face twisted into a snarl.
24:49You ungrateful little...
24:52Lyra, let's go.
24:56The dragon court fractured.
24:58The crown prince dead.
24:59The second prince exposed.
25:01The clan's faith in the throne had never been more fragile.
25:05Some called for Kaylin's immediate execution.
25:08Others argued he was the last of the royal bloodline and had to be kept alive.
25:13But none of that concerned me anymore.
25:14I lay flat on my back, both feet pressed against Dracian's chest, pushing with everything I had.
25:23No more.
25:24I mean it.
25:26He hadn't stopped for an entire day.
25:29He didn't budge.
25:30Just leaned close to my ear.
25:31Lyra, who's better?
25:33Me or Kaylin?
25:35I blinked.
25:36Then it hit me.
25:37Since the coronation, Dracian hadn't asked me a single question.
25:40Not about the truth, not about the chaos outside.
25:43He just pulled me to bed and stayed there.
25:45Was he jealous?
25:46When I didn't answer, his hand tightened at my waist.
25:49He went quiet for a moment, then sulking.
25:52So you still can't forget him?
25:57You're right.
25:58I can't forget him.
25:59Dracian's eyes went wounded immediately.
26:01The fearsome dragon warlord.
26:03The god of slaughter.
26:04Is it because I haven't been good to you?
26:06I couldn't hold it in.
26:07I laughed.
26:07Dracian looked at me, confused.
26:09I reached up and pinched his cheeks.
26:12Who forgets their enemy?
26:13I had feelings for Kaylin once.
26:15Past tense.
26:17Right now, I'd be happy to watch him die.
26:19The light came back into Dracian's eyes, but I kept going.
26:23But I never understood.
26:25That day, when I asked if anyone would have of me,
26:28why did you step forward?
26:30Then he told me.
26:31Dracian had not always been the warlord.
26:33He carried royal blood, but his parents died early and no one thought much of him.
26:37He started at the bottom.
26:39A common foot soldier, proving himself one battle at a time.
26:42Three hundred years ago, he walked into an ambush on the border.
26:46Every defensive line had been pulled back.
26:48His unit was cut off.
26:49He thought he was going to die.
26:51He sat there and waited for it.
26:53Then a girl appeared above the edge of the pit.
26:56Wait.
26:57Your dragon plan.
26:58How did you end up down here?
27:01Don't be scared.
27:02I'll get you home.
27:04Dracian's voice was soft when he said it.
27:09Liar.
27:09I fell for you right then.
27:11But when we got back, I found out you were already promised to Kalen.
27:14I told myself to let it go.
27:15I couldn't.
27:16So I fought.
27:17Until they called me warlord.
27:19I just wanted you to know my name.
27:21That's all.
27:22Then you lost your husband.
27:24You stood up in that hall and asked if anyone would have you.
27:27I was so stunned I almost missed my moment.
27:29The rest you know.
27:31I stared at him.
27:32I brought my hand up and held his face.
27:34Two lifetimes of chaos and pain.
27:36And it was settling now.
27:42Kalen had thrown me away without looking back.
27:45Dracian had spent three hundred years working his way toward me.
27:50You idiot.
27:51Then a servant knocked.
27:52Looked deeply uncomfortable.
27:53The visitor is the crown princess.
27:57Sarah was waiting at the door.
27:59When her identity was exposed, the dragon queen had thrown her out of the palace.
28:04Word traveled fast back to Phoenix territory.
28:06Our father had been dead for years.
28:08His cousin led the clan now.
28:10A man Sarah had bullied relentlessly when they were children.
28:13He heard the news and issued one sentence.
28:15The Phoenix clan has only one princess.
28:17And her name is Lyra.
28:20Sarah had nowhere to go.
28:21She had been camping outside my door ever since.
28:24When she saw me, her face lit up.
28:27Lyra.
28:28She said, were you inיצ electrolytes?
28:28I'm not sure.
28:29You're going to be back.
28:30I think she was waiting until that lady died.
28:30It went toDC this tale somewhere,
28:30and it went to the water it took place by a duck.
