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