Short filmTranscript
00:00I finally healed his tail. For 49 days, I carved open my chest and fed him my blood drop by
00:06drop.
00:06I risked my life fighting sea beasts, collecting their cores just to make him stronger.
00:11I turned him into the Siren King. He married me, but he was always cold to me.
00:15I thought it was just his nature until my sister got hurt. That's when he buried a dagger in my
00:20chest.
00:21If it weren't for you, she would have chosen me! You tore us apart! Now you're going to pay for
00:26it!
00:26I died knowing the truth. He had always loved my sister. I opened my eyes. I was back at the
00:31Siren
00:32Auction. This time, I skipped the broken Siren and made a different choice. Without my blood,
00:37I couldn't wait to see how long they'd last. It was the same auction all over again. For generations,
00:43every Ashford daughter who came of age was required to choose a Siren and bind her blood to his. From
00:47that moment on, our lives were bound together for good. Dozens of Sirens were locked in crystal cages.
00:52Most had glowing tails that drifted through the water like silk, but one curled up in the darkest
00:58corner. His scales were falling away. My sister Serena walked over. Just like in my last life,
01:03she casually gestured toward the crystal cage. Lyra, just pick those two already. Make up your
01:08mind or the best ones will be gone. In my last life, I fell for her act. I thought she
01:13wouldn't
01:13dump the weakest one on me, but she pushed Dorian onto me and claimed the strongest Siren for herself.
01:18Not this time. I wouldn't be her fool again. Pick your own, Serena. I want that one. I pointed to
01:26an
01:26expressionless Siren with a pitch black tail. I called out my bid without a second thought. It
01:30didn't matter who I picked. I turned a worthless Siren into a king once before. Any of them here was
01:35better than him. This time, I just wanted a loyal one. Serena's face fell. Lyra! You bid way too much.
01:43Father only gave us so much gold to spend. If you spend it all, what am I supposed to do?
01:48I shot her
01:48a flat look. How did I not see through her in my last life? She tried so hard to push
01:53a weakling onto
01:53me. She was terrified I'd surpass her in the family. She started plotting the moment we walked in.
01:58So I pointed at Dorian. He was thrashing inside his crystal cage for attention. That one doesn't
02:03look too bad. With the right training, he might be useful. If you can't afford a better one, just take
02:08him. Serena scoffed and pointed straight at Dorian. Him? I wouldn't even keep him as a slave. I smirked.
02:15Poor Dorian. In my last life, he really thought I'd come between them. Little did he know the truth.
02:20Serena never wanted him. Just like in my last life, Serena chose the strongest Siren in the end.
02:25She chose Jasper. I turned to leave with my new Siren Kyle. Suddenly, a violent crash echoed from a
02:31crystal cage. Dorian was throwing himself against the door of his cage. His scales were peeling away.
02:37His tail was badly damaged. But he kept hurling himself at the cage like a mad beast. The crowd
02:42began to mock him. What? Is he trying to get noticed? He's a total wreck. Only an idiot would
02:47choose him. I watched Dorian struggle in desperation. Then I noticed Serena glancing back at him. I frowned.
02:53Wait. Had Dorian been reborn too? He was making a scene. It had to be because his precious Serena didn't
02:58pick him. I looked into his broken blue eyes. I just smiled. His delusions were completely shattered.
03:04That had to hurt like hell. This time I didn't bring Dorian back so I avoided Father's blowup.
03:10Back at the Ashford estate, Kyle stood before me. His tail kept lashing against the floor.
03:15Can you take human form now? Kyle pressed his lips together and tucked his tail out of sight.
03:19Unlike the other Sirens, he didn't seem pleased to be chosen. I looked closer. His blue eyes were icy and
03:26defiant. You didn't want to come with me? Kyle shot me a cold look and said nothing.
03:30I know the rules in those crystal cages. There's a brutal hierarchy. Unchosen Sirens end up killing
03:35each other to survive. But here, I can protect you.
03:38Kyle took the chair farthest from me.
03:41I'm not that pathetic wreck with the ruined tail.
03:43I just smiled at that. He wasn't wrong. Among Sirens, a ruined tail meant you were worthless.
03:50If you don't want to stay, you can leave right now. A spark lit up in his blue eyes. I
03:55could tell he
03:55was tempted. I stood up before he could answer. What are you doing?
03:59You don't want to stay. So I will choose another Siren. I am going to make a Siren King. I
04:05won't
04:05tolerate disloyalty. From the corner of my eye, I saw him freeze. Every Siren dreamed of becoming
04:10the Siren King. He had real power and raw power could be honed. Disloyal beasts like Dorian were
04:16worthless to me. It was better to get rid of them from the start. The auction is already over.
04:20I turned back and smiled at him. Do you really think a family that can afford Sirens runs out of
04:25options? I haven't left yet. Dorian hit the ground hard. He tried to get up, but kept collapsing.
04:35I let out a fake gasp. Why so rough? I thought you were leaving. Why stop me from choosing another
04:41Siren? Kyle's fists clenched tight at his sides. I'm staying. A slow smile curled my lips. Sirens
04:48were wild. They had to learn obedience. He took the first step. Naturally, I obliged. As for Dorian,
04:54he finally dragged himself back up and tried to crawl toward me. Lyra, you just said you'd take me
04:59home. I laid a hand on Kyle's shoulder. Then I gave Dorian a sweet mocking wave. Sorry, I changed my
05:07mind. Dorian opened his mouth to speak and took a step forward. Kyle's tail slammed down at his feet.
05:14Take one more step, and I'll snap your spine. Kyle lifted his tail. I stared at the cracked
05:20stones. There was no comparison. Kyle completely outclassed Dorian.
05:27I would never let myself be betrayed again, so I initiated the blood bond ritual with Kyle.
05:32Can you really make me the Siren King? I didn't answer him. As his master, I needed absolute control.
05:38In my last life, I poured everything into making Dorian the Siren King. I forgot that my own power
05:44mattered most. If Kyle stayed obedient, the title would be his. If he showed any disloyalty, he'd be
05:51nothing but my possession. Walk away if you don't want this. I turned to leave, but only made it one
05:57step. Kyle cut open his tail and let his blood drip onto the bond stone. I accept. The bond was
06:04sealed.
06:05Kyle stood stiffly at my side. From this moment on, you are my master. A faint flush spread across his
06:11neck.
06:12He was unexpectedly adorable. I jerked my chin toward the bed. I only meant to tease him.
06:17Get on the bed.
06:26His face grew even redder. He eased himself onto the bed, keeping his bleeding tail off the sheets.
06:33What are you doing?
06:35I almost laughed. Was all that bravado just a bluff? I reached out and deliberately stroked his tail.
06:41You know how things work in the Ashfield family. We bring a Siren home and a marriage bond is formed.
06:46By tradition, you are my mate now.
06:48Kyle stayed silent, but his tail shivered the moment I touched him. Our eyes locked. He swallowed hard,
06:54squeezing his eyes shut like he was bracing for sweet torture. I let out a soft chuckle.
06:58I turned and picked up a healing potion. His eyes were still shut. I gently blew on his bleeding wound.
07:05Does it hurt?
07:06Kyle's tail swayed uncontrollably. That was how Siren showed pleasure. I applied the potion.
07:11I wrapped it with a bandage and tied a cute little bow. Then I sat back in my chair.
07:16Keep it dry for a few days, and it'll heal soon. Feeling better?
07:20His face was still flushed. He shot me a quick glance, then stubbornly looked away again.
07:25You didn't have to do that. A little scratch like this heals in minutes.
07:29Then why was his tail still moving on its own?
07:32Once Kyle's tail healed, we trained day after day. But this life was different.
07:37I trained in combat magic myself. A Siren King's mate couldn't be weak.
07:42We had barely started when Serena barged in. She brought her siren, Jasper.
07:46Playing sparring partner now, Lyra? You took forever at the auction.
07:49I thought you picked a real prize in. But looking at him, he's nothing special.
07:53I stopped my training. I looked at Serena and Jasper.
07:56Jasper was massive, but in my last life, he amounted to nothing.
08:00Serena knew absolutely nothing about taming sirens.
08:03After the blood bonds, father put me in charge of the family.
08:06I kept quiet, but Kyle stepped right in front of me.
08:09You dare challenge me, Siren? I am the eldest Ashford daughter.
08:12I am the future head of this house. Jasper, put him in his place.
08:16Jasper took the order. He lunged straight at us.
08:18Kyle didn't even flinch. He calmly pushed me to a safe distance, then stepped into the fight.
08:23It was perfect timing. I wanted to see Kyle's real power anyway.
08:27They clashed violently. After just a few strikes, Jasper was clear to losing.
08:32Serena's smug smile completely vanished. She started screaming from the sidelines.
08:37Kill him! Tear him apart! What are you doing? Kill him!
08:41Jasper didn't stand a chance. Kyle started going for the kill with every strike.
08:45Kyle was about to snap Jasper's tail in half. Serena let out a piercing scream.
08:50How dare you! Control your beast, Lyra! How dare he lay a hand on my siren!
08:55I just laughed.
08:56Didn't you order Jasper to attack first? You screamed at him to kill Kyle.
09:00Every servant in this estate can testify to that.
09:03If Jasper gets hurt, I will have father punish you! Do you know how much gold I spent on him?
09:10We locked eyes for a moment. Then I told Kyle to let him go. Serena scoffed.
09:15Smart choice. I am the eldest. Know your place. You'll never be the one to lead this family.
09:20With that, Serena spun around. She stormed off with Jasper. Kyle looked furious.
09:26I should have killed him!
09:27I watched them walk away. I muttered.
09:30Why rush?
09:31Serena's pride had just taken a crushing blow. By now she must have hated me to the bone.
09:35She would make her move soon. To completely destroy someone, you had to drive them mad first.
09:42Serena started targeting me at every turn. I thought she would just badmouth me to father.
09:47I didn't expect her to bring Dorian into the estate. When Dorian suddenly blocked my path,
09:53I was caught off guard.
09:54What are you doing here?
09:55Serena walked out from the end of the hall with a smirk. Father was right behind her.
09:59So the rumors outside are true. What rumors?
10:02Father had a dark look on his face.
10:04Lyra, you already chose a syrin for your blood bond. Why are you still involved with this one?
10:09You are lucky your sister found him today. We had to bring him back to shut him up.
10:14Otherwise, he would have ruined the Ashfield name.
10:16Serena walked up to me, gloating. She used her finger to lift Dorian's chin.
10:21Little sister, he was begging outside just to get into the Ashford estate.
10:24He was desperate to be by your side. If you two were having a secret affair, you should have just
10:28said so. Why didn't you just take him at the auction? Even before picking Kyle.
10:33The more Serena spoke, the darker father's face became.
10:36Lyra, if you can't clean up this mess, you will be cast out of this family.
10:40With that, father turned and left. Serena flashed me a wicked smile.
10:44Have fun cleaning this up, little sister.
10:46Dorian was half-kneeling on the floor, looking up at me. His eyes were full of pure desperation.
10:52You want to stay by my side so badly? Fine, you can stay.
10:56Instead of kicking him out, it was better to keep him right under my nose.
11:00In this life, without my heart's blood, Dorian would barely even survive.
11:07Dorian started hovering around me all day. Kyle had been avoiding me lately. The other day,
11:12I cornered him at the entrance to the training grounds. Kyle pulled away with a scowl on his
11:16face.
11:17You're still looking for me? Shouldn't you be with that pathetic Dorian right now?
11:22That little act you two put on in the street? That was just a trick to force me to submit
11:27to
11:27you, wasn't it?
11:28Kyle puffed his cheeks in anger. His tail slapped the stone floor restlessly.
11:32I watched him with amusement. You already submitted. You can't run away now.
11:37So, do you still want to be the Siren King or not?
11:40Kyle gave me a flat look. He clearly thought I was lying to him.
11:43There is a Siren Tournament in two months. Whether you become the Siren King or not,
11:48it is all up to you. He stayed totally silent. I had no choice but to explain the whole situation
11:53to him. Really? You and that Siren really have nothing going on?
11:57I was practically ready to swear an oath. Kyle finally gave a proud little scoff.
12:01He went back to training with me. We trained day after day on the Ashford grounds. Dorian
12:06walked by every now and then, pretending to be busy.
12:09I am going to snap his tail in half. Let's see how he walks after that.
12:12I stopped him.
12:13Kyle, I have my own plans. I fed him so much of my heart's blood in my last life. It
12:19couldn't
12:20go to waste. He was practically throwing himself at my door. He couldn't blame me for being ruthless
12:28now. That night, I called Dorian into my room. The Siren King in my last life was now kneeling
12:33at my feet, holding a wash basin. His severe wounds left him swaying weakly.
12:38Are you not feeling well? I asked casually. The once-in-a-decade Siren Tournament was right
12:42around the corner. Dorian had to be dying of anxiety right now. In my last life, he became
12:47the Siren King with my help. How could someone who had once stood at the top be content to live
12:51as a servant? So even just for my heart's blood, he would definitely endure it.
12:56Dorian slumped weakly onto the floor. My tail was injured in the crystal cages.
13:00It just won't heal. Then how can it be healed? The Ashford
13:03family has no use for the worthless. Dorian looked at me with hurt in his eyes.
13:07He spoke tentatively. I need human heart's blood. Consumed over will be fully healed.
13:12I said nothing. Today, he was nothing but the lowest slave. Seeing no reaction from me,
13:17he let out two weak coughs. I know my place. In this life, I only wish to stay by your
13:22side.
13:22I wouldn't dare dream of your heart's blood. Why must you stay by my side?
13:26Dorian pressed his lips together and stared at me. It was like he was searching my face for any sign
13:31of a lie. But my face was full of pure sincerity. There was no way I would let him see
13:36through me.
13:37After confirming I wasn't playing dumb, Dorian shook his head with a sorrowful look.
13:42It seems you truly don't remember me, Lyra. You saved me once. A Siren always repays a cutness.
13:47That's why I insisted on staying by your side. Even if you and Kyle are already mates,
13:51as long as I can see you every day, I will do anything you ask.
13:55I dug my nails into my palms just to stop myself from slapping him across the face.
14:00Repay the kindness? He was a treacherous beast who used my trust to take a vicious bite out of me,
14:05and he said it with so much emotion. If I didn't have the memories of my previous life,
14:10I probably would have fallen for it. I pretended to be completely moved by his devotion.
14:1549 days of heart's blood, and you will be fully healed?
14:20Dorian's eyes lit up. His excitement nearly gave him away, but I could tell he was fighting to hide it.
14:25Yes. But Lyra, extracting your heart's blood is incredibly painful.
14:29I paused for a moment, putting on a serious face.
14:32I can save you. But once you recover, you have to leave me alone.
14:36A flash of surprise and hurt crossed his eyes, but he quickly agreed.
14:40Okay. I will leave you alone.
14:42The moment he looked down, I clearly saw him smirk.
14:45I smiled to myself. Did he really think getting my heart's blood would be that easy?
14:51For the next few days, I had Kyle buy fresh deer blood from the local hunters.
14:56Watering it down masked the scent.
14:58To keep Dorian from getting suspicious, I mixed in some healing herbs.
15:02He needed to see some actual results to fall for it.
15:06Dorian gulped down bowl after bowl. He winced every single time.
15:10Lyra, why does this heart's blood taste a little off?
15:17I feigned hurt.
15:19Of course blood doesn't taste good. I cut my own chest open to save your life.
15:23If you think it tastes bad, I'll just pour it out.
15:26Dorian didn't dare complain. He practically licked the bowl clean.
15:31Lyra, I will never forget this. If only I were the Siren you chose, then I could stay by your
15:36side and repay you forever.
15:37I forced a troubled frown.
15:39Just letting you stay in the estate is already causing enough trouble for me.
15:42You heard what father and my sister said the other day.
15:45I watched him from the corner of my eye as I spoke.
15:48When I mentioned Serena, there wasn't a single trace of affection in his eyes.
15:52Instead, there was pure hatred.
15:55I had no idea what happened after I died in my previous life.
15:59But by the looks of it, his life as the Siren King hadn't ended well either.
16:03But I can't blame you. My sister has hated me since we were kids. She's just using you to humiliate
16:09me.
16:10Dorian's hand instinctively clenched on the table.
16:13Looking at his tight jaw, I knew I had guessed right.
16:16Don't worry, Lyra. I won't be a problem for you.
16:19Good. But in this life, he wasn't even worthy of being my problem.
16:25Dorian hadn't been hovering around me much lately.
16:28Instead, he was making frequent trips to Serena's side of the estate.
16:32I knew he took my words to heart.
16:34Letting him do my dirty work was the least he could do to pay for his sins in his previous
16:38life.
16:38To keep Dorian from getting suspicious, Kyle and I had been training in my bedroom at night.
16:43You need to be faster.
16:45The sirens in the arena will be out for blood.
16:47If you're not fast enough, you won't leave that arena alive.
16:50I finished speaking and waved Kyle over.
16:52Come here. I'll spar with you.
16:54Kyle chuckled.
16:55He clearly wasn't taking me seriously.
16:57Get over here!
16:58Before the words even left my mouth, Kyle closed the distance in a split second.
17:02He moved so fast I couldn't even see how he did it.
17:05How did you-
17:06Before I could finish, Kyle was already attacking.
17:09I barely dodged his first two strikes.
17:11Then I lost my footing and fell backward.
17:13Kyle gasped and grabbed my waist to catch me.
17:15I suspected he did it on purpose.
17:17He intentionally fell onto the bed with me.
17:19Pinned beneath him, my heart pounded out of control.
17:23Kyle, get up.
17:23It's getting late.
17:24You should head back.
17:25His blue eyes flickered.
17:26Without a word, he pinned my wrists right above my head.
17:32Why is Dorian allowed in here at night but I'm not?
17:36He found out about Dorian coming every night to drink the deer blood after all.
17:41Dorian is here for something important.
17:44Kyle refused to get off me.
17:46His scalding breath brushed against my neck.
17:49Suddenly, his tail wrapped around the bed curtains and pulled them shut.
17:53Master, you said it yourself.
17:55Since the bond, I am your mate.
17:58Even when my legs turned to jelly, Kyle kept whispering in my ear, demanding to know who
18:03I wanted him or Dorian.
18:04I mumbled some nonsense back, but all I could think was how ridiculously good this siren's
18:09stamina was.
18:12A month later, Jasper's tail suddenly went completely limp.
18:15He couldn't even stand anymore.
18:17Serena went completely crazy in the estate.
18:19You were perfectly fine.
18:20Why is this happening?
18:22Jasper, did you eat something poisonous?
18:24If you can't even stand, how are you supposed to fight in the siren tournament?
18:27How are you supposed to win the title of Seren King for me?
18:30Jasper lay on the bed, looking deathly pale.
18:33Father, please find someone to heal Jasper.
18:35The tournament is right around the corner.
18:36I have poured so much into him.
18:38A potion master specializing in sirens arrived.
18:42He examined Jasper for a moment, sighed, and shook his head.
18:45The tail looks fine on the outside, but the bones inside have completely deteriorated.
18:49His bones will rot away within three days.
18:51Jasper begged the potion master like a desperate beast to save him.
18:54He thrashed so hard he rolled right off the bed.
18:57Serena just stared blankly, muttering that it was impossible.
19:00While Father stepped out to see the potion master off, Serena actually lunged at me.
19:04But with Kyle by my side, there was no way she could even touch me.
19:07Lyra! You did this, didn't you?
19:10You were jealous of my searing's power.
19:12You were terrified he would become the searing king, because then you could never outrank me.
19:17So you poisoned him.
19:18You destroyed my siren, and I will make you suffer for this.
19:21I'll kill you!
19:22Father walked back into the room the exact moment she screamed that.
19:26Enough of this nonsense.
19:27Father's harsh shout instantly silenced Serena.
19:30I spoke calmly.
19:31Serena, I have no reason to hurt your siren.
19:33Kyle is leagues above Jasper.
19:35Jasper wasn't even a threat to us.
19:37Why would I go out of my way to ruin him?
19:39Serena was about to scream again, but Father shut her down.
19:42What's done is done.
19:43You will stay confined to the estate.
19:45You are pulled from the siren torment.
19:47As for this useless siren, you know our family rules.
19:51Get rid of him immediately!
19:52Jasper and Serena completely panicked.
19:54A siren with a ruined tail wouldn't survive a day out in the wild.
19:58And without a siren, Serena had just lost everything.
20:03When Dorian came to drink the deer blood today, he was clearly in a good mood.
20:07He looked at me, eager to please.
20:10Serena will never compete with you for anything ever again.
20:13I handed him the bowl.
20:14He was almost done with the full treatment.
20:15I had increased the potency of the herbs lately.
20:18Dorian did look much better and his wounds were completely healed.
20:21But it was all just an illusion.
20:23The herbs only masked the surface.
20:24The moment he pushed his power to the limit, his body would suffer a catastrophic backlash.
20:29When that happened, even a hundred days of heart's blood wouldn't save him.
20:33Was that your doing?
20:34I feigned surprise, even adding a touch of admiration to my eyes.
20:38How did you do it?
20:39How did you make him turn out like that?
20:41To repay you, there is nothing I wouldn't do.
20:44I turned my head away and sneered.
20:46The only reason he knew so much was because he had been the Siren King in my last life.
20:50His body was weak, but he still knew every dirty trick in the book.
20:54After gulping down the blood, he licked his lips greedily.
20:57His beautiful tail swayed behind him, as if he was showing off.
21:01Once he left, Kyle stepped out from the shadows.
21:04He looked deeply displeased.
21:05Lyra, he is scum.
21:07Why are you helping him?
21:08I stared at the blood-stained bowl and asked,
21:10What makes you think I am helping him?
21:12Kyle paused.
21:13I immediately followed up.
21:14The Siren Tournament is in three days.
21:17Are you confident you can win the title?
21:19Kyle grabbed the hand I had resting on his tail.
21:22Since my master wants it so badly, I will win even if it costs me my life.
21:25It was just a normal promise.
21:27But his tone made my face burn instantly.
21:30I knew exactly what the other Sirens were capable of.
21:33As long as Kyle fought like he usually did, he would be absolutely fine.
21:39On the day of the Siren Tournament, Father and Serena accompanied us to the arena.
21:44I hadn't seen Dorian in the estate since the day before yesterday.
21:47He must have gone to compete as well.
21:49Kyle, this tournament concerns the honor and status of the Ashford family.
21:54You must fight with everything you have.
21:56Father instructed in a deep voice.
21:58Serena scoffed dismissively.
21:59But for once, she didn't say a word.
22:01I cast a suspicious glance at her.
22:03Something fell off.
22:04Right before the matches began, Serena suddenly pulled a handkerchief from her pocket.
22:09She reached out to wipe the sweat off Kyle's forehead.
22:11Fortunately, Kyle never liked strangers touching him.
22:14He immediately dodged it.
22:15Serena's hand froze in midair.
22:17Little sister, look at your Siren.
22:19I was just trying to wipe his sweat.
22:21If he becomes the Siren King, it brings glory to all of us, doesn't it?
22:25How small-minded.
22:26As if she would ever be so kind, I forced a smile, snatched the handkerchief right out
22:31of her hand, and wiped it across Father's face.
22:34Hey, you stop!
22:35Seeing Serena stammering, I was even more certain there was something wrong with the handkerchief.
22:39So I wiped even harder.
22:41What's wrong?
22:42Kyle's matches are important, of course.
22:44But Father has been standing with us under the scorching sun.
22:47Wiping his sweat is the least a daughter could do.
22:50As I spoke, I had already sent Kyle toward the arena.
22:53He had trained hard for two months.
22:54I wasn't going to let anyone sabotage him at the last minute.
22:58Serena started fidgeting.
22:59She kept stealing glances at Father's reaction.
23:01When I saw him start to sway on his feet, I smiled.
23:04The handkerchief had been soaked in belladonna extract.
23:07Father, what's wrong?
23:08You were perfectly fine a moment ago.
23:09Why did you suddenly get like this right after I wiped your sweat?
23:13Serena panicked.
23:14What nonsense are you spouting?
23:15Father is just feeling unwell.
23:17It has nothing to do with my handkerchief.
23:19Father was already too dizzy to speak.
23:21I looked at Serena with a bright smile.
23:23Whether it has anything to do with it or not.
23:25We will know once we have the potion master test it back at the estate.
23:31Now that the poison was used on Father himself, there was no way he would just turn a blind eye.
23:37Serena's goal was simple.
23:38Since her own siren was ruined, she wanted to stop Kyle from competing.
23:42But she forgot one thing.
23:43As long as it brought glory to the Ashford family, Father didn't care who earned it.
23:48Once the tournament began, Kyle easily fought his way into the final rounds.
23:52Father was passed out in his seat, but neither of us cared.
23:54When she saw Dorian standing intact in the arena, Serena's jaw completely dropped.
23:59How?
24:00Wasn't he severely injured?
24:01I thought he was dying.
24:02Why is he here?
24:03Then she seemed to realize something.
24:05If his tail healed, does that mean Jasper has a chance too?
24:08You did this, didn't you?
24:09How did you heal him?
24:10I tilted my head and looked at her.
24:13Want to know?
24:14Use your own heart's blood.
24:16Feed it to him every day for 49 days and he will be perfectly fine.
24:20I was actually giving her the real cure.
24:22But the moment Serena heard she had to hurt herself, all the color drained from her face.
24:27For a siren?
24:28Scoff.
24:29I'll just go buy another one.
24:30But Lyra, you healed this Dorian.
24:32Just to watch him fight your Kyle in the arena?
24:35Serena looked at me like I was a complete idiot.
24:38I kept my eyes fixed on the arena and didn't say a word.
24:41I had already warned Kyle before we came.
24:44If he met Dorian in the arena, he was to beat him to a bloody pulp.
24:50All that dear blood and herbs finally paid off.
24:53Dorian finally stood face to face with Kyle in the arena.
24:56Kyle rolled his shoulders and charged at him without a single word.
24:58Dorian, who had fought so fiercely against the others just moments ago,
25:02suddenly looked incredibly weak.
25:04Kyle lifted Dorian high into the air and slammed him brutally into the ground.
25:07An agonizing scream echoed through the arena.
25:10I smiled.
25:11But in my peripheral vision, Serena couldn't even force a smile anymore.
25:15Kyle, how is he so powerful?
25:16Well, barely moments into the match, Dorian was already struggling to get back up.
25:20I was still waiting.
25:21Waiting for him to push his power too far and spew blood across the arena floor.
25:26He struggled with all his might just to stand.
25:28But the very first thing he did when he got up was look at me in the crowd.
25:31I looked away in disgust.
25:33That fake devoted look in his eyes was absolutely sickening.
25:37Dorian let out a deafening roar, summoning every last ounce of his strength.
25:41But just as he was about to hit Kyle with a full force strike, he suddenly clutched his chest.
25:46In the next instant, he spat out a massive mouthful of blood.
25:50Without Kyle lifting a finger, Dorian collapsed.
25:52Sister, it looks like Kyle won again.
25:55A few matches later, Kyle's title as the Siren King was absolutely secured.
25:59Across the cheering crowd, Kyle and I locked eyes.
26:02Serena was practically grinding her teeth in rage.
26:06Back at the estate, Father didn't wake up from his coma until the next day.
26:10When he learned that Kyle had won the tournament and become the Siren King, Father was absolutely thrilled.
26:15He said excellent three times in a row.
26:18It seems I can finally rest easy handing the Ashfield family over to you.
26:22Father!
26:23I am the eldest daughter.
26:25This family belongs to me.
26:27My Siren was sabotaged this time.
26:28Otherwise, the title of Siren King would be ours.
26:30Father gave her a half-hearted scolding, fully intending to just let it slide.
26:34I reached into my robes and pulled out that handkerchief.
26:37Father, during Kyle's matches yesterday, Sister tried to use this handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
26:41But it is soaked in belladova extract, a poison that makes a person lose consciousness in seconds.
26:45Even you didn't wake up until today, Father.
26:48To gamble with the family's fate like this, her intentions are utterly unforgivable.
26:51Hearing this, Lord Ashford instantly flew into a rage.
26:54We are lucky Kyle dodged it.
26:56If he had touched that handkerchief, who knows who might have stolen the Siren King's title.
26:59You have been fighting with your sister since you were little girls, and I always turned a blind eye.
27:03But looking at it now, you are indeed unfit to lead the Ashford family.
27:07Serena's eyes widened in shock, as if she couldn't believe Father would say such a thing.
27:11Father, are you just playing favorites now because Lyra Siren became the Siren King?
27:15You insolent fool!
27:17He slapped her hard across the face.
27:19Get back to your room.
27:20Serena, from this day forward, you are forbidden from interfering in family affairs, and you are forbidden from keeping Siren's.
27:26Serena was dragged out.
27:27That last sentence had completely sealed her fate.
27:31Without a Siren, how could she ever compete with me?
27:35Kyle and my status within the family skyrocketed.
27:38That night in bed, Kyle's tail swished back and forth restlessly.
27:42I threw a pillow right at his tail.
27:46Are you going to sleep or not?
27:48Kyle rolled over and hovered above me, his voice low and husky.
27:52I will, eventually.
27:55Much later, I couldn't help but ask him.
27:58After Dorian collapsed, what did you say to him?
28:01Kyle let out a low chuckle against my ear.
28:04I told him he had been drinking dear blood this whole time.
28:10Dorian was carried out of the arena and was never seen again.
28:13I heard he threw up blood in the streets for three whole days.
28:16The wound on his tail tore open, leaving a gaping hole.
28:19For a Siren, losing his tail was worse than death.
28:22The former Siren King couldn't even crawl anymore.
28:25Even to his dying breath, he probably could never accept the truth.
28:28What he had been drinking every day wasn't my heart's blood at all.
28:31But cheap dear blood bought from the market for a few coppers.
28:34The herbs only healed his surface wounds, but planted a fatal backlash inside his body.
28:39The harder he fought, the faster he died.
28:41From beginning to end, he brought it all upon himself.
28:44After being forbidden from keeping sirens,
28:46Serena lost every ounce of her power within the family.
28:49Lord Ashford officially handed control of the estate over to me.
28:51The once glorious eldest daughter now had to bow to me whenever we crossed paths.
28:55That night I stood by the moonlit lake behind the estate.
28:58Silver moonlight cascaded across the water.
29:00Kyle emerged from the lake, his tail shimmering with an iridescent glow.
29:04Every scale was perfect.
29:05His fins fully spread.
29:06He was so breathtaking, it didn't look real.
29:09He reached his hand out to me.
29:10Come in.
29:12The water is cold.
29:13I'll keep you warm.
29:15I couldn't help but smile.
29:17Then I took his hand.
29:18He pulled me into the water.
29:19His arms wrapped around my waist, and his tail gently curled around my ankles.
29:24Kyle lowered his head and pressed his forehead against mine.
29:26His blue eyes were stunningly bright under the moonlight.
29:29Lyra.
29:30In this life, you are mine, and mine alone.
29:33I looked up at him.
29:34In this life, there were no treacherous beasts, no betrayals.
29:37There was only a proud, loyal Siren King, and he belonged to me.
29:41Yes, only you.
29:43Beneath the water, his tail swished hard.
