Short filmTranscript
00:05Dorian! Please! Help me!
00:11Vivian, 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.
00:49Go 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's dangerous. He's already bitten two trainers in the arena. He doesn't obey
01:49at 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. Why don't... Why don't I take him?
02:20I can keep him close so you won't have any regrets later.
02:27Let's go, Kale.
02:33Let me make one thing clear. If we form a bond, you'll only have me. I don't share. And I've
02:44got a bad temper. I don't know how to serve people.
02:48Come here.
02:52My lady.
02:56Don't know how to serve? That's fine. You'll learn. Slowly.
03:03But tonight, we bind our blood first.
03:07By the blood of the master and the soul of the familiar, this bond is sealed.
03:12The familiar shall be bound to the master for life.
03:15Should betrayal ever take root, the soul shall shatter, the spirit disperse, and 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.
03:52You 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, once 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.
04:36My lady.
04:38In his last life, he formed a bond with me, yet he never once addressed me properly, always claiming that
04:43was 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.
04:56You can go now.
04:58My lady.
04:59Why did you choose a wolf familiar?
05:01He's aggressive by nature.
05:03He's hardly the kind of familiar that should be by your side.
05:08That is none of your business.
05:11So back then, everything you said was just to make me happy?
05:15From the start, 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.
05:40Father, I know Serena has never really liked me.
05:44I'm not here to complain.
05:46I just...
05:47I never expected her familiar to be so cruel.
05:51Last 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.
06:12I never thought it'd end up like this.
06:16Dorian got roughed up by her wolf familiar like this.
06:20There's a saying.
06:22You don't hit someone's dog without asking first.
06:25And Dorian's my servant!
06:27Serena didn't even stop him!
06:30This...
06:31This 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...
06:43I'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.
07:02But when my mother...
07:04Eleanor, 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!
07:21Look at your familiar!
07:23How dare it behave like this!
07:25That wolf is savage and has no discipline,
07:28and it attacked someone right here in Ashford!
07:31I told you from the start
07:33that wolf falillians are impossible to tame!
07:36They're not fit to serve as personal bonded servants,
07:39but you refuse to listen!
07:41Today it attacked Vivian's servant.
07:44What about tomorrow?
07:45Will it go after Vivian herself?
07:47And the day after that,
07:48will it turn on the entire Ashford family?
07:51On me!
07:52Someone!
07:53Drag this monster out and deal with it according to our family rules!
07:58Sister,
08:00Kale is just a familiar.
08:01Don't let this come between you and father, okay?
08:04Kale made the first move,
08:05so he should be punished.
08:07I trust this wasn't your doing.
08:09He just went and acted on his own, right?
08:14Kale,
08:15outside you can do whatever you want,
08:17but in Ashfield,
08:18you follow my rules.
08:20If you ever lay a hand on someone in public again,
08:23I won't cover for you.
08:28I understand, my lady.
08:31Go serve your punishment.
08:33Let this be a lesson.
08:55Oh, easy there.
08:57We wouldn't want to break Serena's new toy on the very first day, would we?
09:05I know why she's gloating.
09:07She thinks she's beaten me at last.
09:10Finally seeing the one I care about humiliated like this.
09:14Pathetic.
09:16Look at Dorian.
09:17Why is he so bitter?
09:19I gave him exactly what he wanted.
09:21I let him go to Vivian.
09:23I even gave whatever it is between them a chance.
09:26So what does he still have to resent?
09:29And why does he keep provoking Kale over and over again?
09:35Enough.
09:36We'll leave it here for today.
09:38Sister, only ten.
09:40And we're stopping already.
09:42Kale attacked Dorian,
09:43and the marks on his neck are still there.
09:46Isn't that punishment a little too light?
09:54What else do you want, Vivian?
09:56His life?
09:57Dorian's injury is hardly serious.
09:59A fox for Lilia would recover from that in three days.
10:02Making a fuss over something this minor just makes you look petty.
10:07You!
10:09Oh right, sister.
10:11I almost forgot.
10:13Father said you've been so busy lately.
10:16The Northern Territory.
10:18The heart of Ashfield's wealth.
10:19The Spiritstone Mines.
10:21The Herb Estates.
10:23Everything my mother, Eleanor, spent half her life building.
10:27And now Edmund wants to hand it all over to Vivian.
10:30Looks like she's helping me out.
10:32But really,
10:34she's trying to worm her way into the Ashford family itself.
10:40Co-manageage?
10:42Honestly, Vivian, I couldn't ask for more.
10:46Sister,
10:47you're so easy to please today.
10:49Then I won't hold back.
10:57Stay still.
10:59I need to check the wound.
11:06I'm sorry.
11:09I know you only acted to stop his fox charm,
11:11but for now you'll have to take the punishment on your own.
11:14There won't be a next time.
11:20What's the big deal?
11:22It's only natural for a lady to punish her own familiar.
11:27Besides, you don't need to protect me.
11:30I'm the one who's supposed to shield you from the storm.
11:33Shield me from the storm.
11:35It's been ages since anyone ever said that.
11:39I've been the only heir since I was little.
11:41I had to master management, negotiation,
11:43and always be flawless before the elders.
11:46Nobody ever said they'd protect me.
11:48And now,
11:49some wolf cub who's been mine for just a day
11:51says it like it's the most natural thing in the world.
11:57Fine.
11:58I've got it.
12:00Whatever happens,
12:01I'll keep my word.
12:03Since you took me out of that cage,
12:04I'm loyal to you.
12:06Forever.
12:09And what if I lied to you?
12:12What if one day you find out
12:13I've been using you all along?
12:23Alright, I won't tease you anymore.
12:25Rest up,
12:26and in a few days,
12:27come with me to the Northern Territory.
12:29That's where the real game begins.
12:55Hey, sister.
12:56Why not bring Kale to check his level too?
13:00Maybe he's leveled up
13:01and could make you look good.
13:03No, thank you.
13:05People test a familiar's rank
13:06when they're planning to sell it
13:07for a better price.
13:09Fortunately,
13:10I haven't fallen so low
13:11that I need to trade away
13:12my own familiar
13:13for a share of the family's assets.
13:21Besides,
13:21a rank gained through potions
13:22is little more than decoration.
13:25If you really want
13:26a 10th rank family or sister,
13:28you'll have to spend
13:29a lot more than you already have.
13:36Even if it's just for show,
13:37it's still better than your familiar.
13:39That low-born wolf,
13:41no matter how many potions you give him,
13:42he's never going to amount to anything!
13:53My lady,
13:55let me take the test.
13:57I'm no worse than that fox.
14:01It's okay.
14:02It doesn't matter to me.
14:04All right, hurry it up.
14:05Put your right hand on the stone.
14:06Next!
14:07Next!
14:28Oh my god!
14:30Look at the runes!
14:32The testing stone!
14:33The testing stone is cracking!
14:42Impossible!
14:42That's a 10th reek family!
14:45A supreme class family mid-tier!
15:01I told you,
15:02I'm no worse than that fox.
15:04Even in my past life,
15:05not even the Empire's
15:06strongest royal guards
15:07could touch this level.
15:09Kale,
15:09who exactly are you?
15:13Actually,
15:15I'm not from a normal pack.
15:18I ran away from somewhere else.
15:20But now,
15:21I'm yours.
15:22Only yours.
15:27I understand.
15:29You're with me now.
15:30And that's enough.
15:40All those potions wasted for nothing!
15:42And you still can't beat a single wolf!
15:45Useless!
15:45Get lost!
15:48Get lost!
16:12Come on, Kale!
16:13Come on, Kale!
16:14Off to the Northern Territory!
16:16Let's see what my dear sister
16:17has in store for us!
16:24Let's see what my dear sister has in store for us!
16:49I need to talk to you!
16:50My lady!
16:52Please!
16:54I need to talk to you!
16:55Doesn't mean a man!
17:16you again what the hell do you want this time
17:36my lady please have kale leave for a moment i have to tell you this secret alone
17:45remember what happened last time he's no good don't listen to a word he says
17:58wait if he wanted to make a move he wouldn't pick now go wait by the gate i'll stay here
18:05but go 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 vivienna 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 crashed you watching you die in that valley i have no idea what
18:58you're talking about you're losing your mind dorian i know i know nobody's gonna believe
19:04me 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
19:15in it i'm your familiar you're so kind to me helping me through the shift
19:19and i swear in the dream i'll always be loyal to you
19:24never betray you but i broke it i fell for vivian
19:28she got into my head kept feeding me lies and before i knew it i was leading you straight to
19:33your death in the dream as the flood was swallowing you whole you said you only did
19:38all that because i saved your life seeing you die right in front of me and being powerless
19:44to stop it that feeling it's worse than dying at first i thought it was just a dream
19:52but then the details started getting clearer and clearer more real more vivid and then came
19:59that day at the auction the day you chose kyle that's when it finally hit me it wasn't a 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
20:27i've wanted to tell you the truth for so long
20:31i've wanted to tell you to apologize to make up for what i did
20:35but because of vivian i couldn't just come 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
21:02you ever since
21:17it was all vivian she's crazy she was jealous that you were the rightful heir ever since she found out
21:24i saved you back then she's been yelling at me hitting me taking out all her jealousy and hate on
21:30me
21:32i was going to just bear it in silence but i was scared scared she'd go after you scared you'd
21:38end
21:38up like last time let me be your fiment serena i haven't bonded with vivian yet that wolf is just
21:45a brute he can only fight but i'm different i'm skilled in fox charm i know countless secrets about
21:52vivian i can help you win over the council elders get rid of edmund's old allies take down anyone
21:57standing in the way of you inheriting your lands and do you really not have any feelings for me at
22:03all
22:17let me think about it
22:25i was only 12 back then the lake was freezing that early spring the second i fell in it felt
22:32like the
22:32water swallowed me whole i couldn't breathe i couldn't tell which way was up i didn't even have
22:39time 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
23:08idea 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 okay
23:40kail if someone saved your life when you were a kid and for years you let them walk all over
23:45you
23:46betray your trust push you around would you call that loyalty or just plain stupid
23:52neither
24:01if someone saved your life you're not wrong for being grateful
24:06what's wrong is the person using that gratitude
24:10to make you sacrifice the rest of your life
24:13people 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
24:47made 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
25:14it was rough simple not particularly valuable and honestly not even all that pretty
25:20and for some reason it made my chest warm
25:23like finally someone wasn't trying to cheer me up
25:26they just figured i'd be hurt and wanted to take the blow for me
25:31kail 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
25:48okay
25:54okay
25:55okay
26:01okay
26:18okay
26:21father this ride is awful the cushions are thin as paper and these snacks are
26:25ridiculously sweet tell them to go back and get something better will you
26:32vivian 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
26:59patience with viviana he's showing me his value he's proving he can be a very useful dog
27:13what's wrong not used to the carriage no it's just the way some people look at me makes me
27:21uncomfortable
27:30in this world a master can only bind one familia to break that bond and form a new one
27:35the familia must undergo soul fracture some lose their consciousness and are left as little more
27:41than empty hucks others are less unfortunate their souls are shattered beyond recovery and yet dorian
27:47is perfectly willing to let kale suffer that agony just so he can crawl back to my side
27:51he is just as cold and ruthless as he was in our past life fine we'll see
28:05realize ferries to heaven
28:13you're up
28:17my lord it's been a long journey i 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 syren's lake tomorrow the manna there is unlike anywhere else
28:35around
28:36and it's the pride of the region you don't come here every day so it'd be a real shame to
28:41miss it
28:41lord hargrain is right
28:43father you've worked so hard for the family you deserve some rest by the lake
28:48and 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
29:39have you forgotten your manners
29:45yes my lord
30:00father
30:02vivian was gravely ill last week
30:04and dorian stayed up for nights to nurse her back to health
30:07besides since dorian will assist vivian in managing the northern territory in the future
30:11we shouldn't treat him like a mere servant
30:13after all we're all ashford's here aren't we
30:21serena's right it's only a meal we're family after all everyone have a seat
