01:22Flames curled around my wrist and branded a phoenix sigil into my skin.
01:27The bond snapped into place.
01:30For one breath, I thought fate had finally shown me mercy.
01:34Only later did I understand.
01:36Fate had only found a prettier way to lead me to my death.
01:39After the bond, Caius moved into the East Tower, a phoenix his true form only to the one he trusts
01:45most.
01:45Caius never showed his to me.
01:47He barely let me pass the door.
01:49I brought your morning dew tea.
01:50Leave it outside.
01:52Does the old wound still hurt?
01:53That isn't your concern.
01:54I stood in the corridor, the silver cup going cold in my hands.
01:59He had never given me a feather.
02:01Not one.
02:01Then one night, gold-red light spilled from beneath his door.
02:08I pushed it open.
02:10Caius stood by the window.
02:12Enormous wings unfurled behind him.
02:14Each feather burned like a jewel.
02:16Letia stood beneath those wings, running her fingers lightly along the edge.
02:23The moment Caius saw me, his wings vanished.
02:27The room went dim.
02:28Oh, Ivy.
02:29It's not what it looks like.
02:31Caius and I grew up together.
02:33He's always been comfortable around me.
02:34I stood there with the silver cup in my hands, my fingers numb.
02:38I'm the one bound to him.
02:40Leave.
02:40I only brought tea.
02:42I said leave.
02:43The cup slipped from my hand.
02:45Morning dew spilled across the floor.
02:48Ivy, please don't make this harder than it has to be.
02:52Caius said nothing.
02:53The door closed in my face.
02:55Through the wood, I heard Lillia speak softly.
02:57Is she upset?
02:58She'll get over it.
02:59I stood in the corridor and laughed under my breath.
03:02So that was all my pain was to him.
03:04Something I would get over.
03:07But Caius had forgotten.
03:09Years ago, on a night thick with snow,
03:11I was the one who carried him out of the Forbidden Forest
03:15and hid him in the abandoned bell tower.
03:21Back then, he was not the proud phoenix saint everyone worshipped.
03:25He was only a dying firebird.
03:27Blight had burned through his feathers.
03:30The mentors said he would not last until dawn.
03:33I refused to believe them.
03:35I cut open my wrist and fed him my blood.
03:38Night after night.
03:43On the seventh day, he woke.
03:45That was also the Dalilea came.
03:48Ivy, you're still keeping that filthy bird.
03:51He isn't filthy.
03:54He's dying.
03:58He wants to live.
04:00Later, Caius recovered.
04:02He came to see me.
04:03And he came to see Lillia.
04:04I thought he remembered that I had saved him.
04:07But all he remembered was Lillia standing in the light.
04:10He gave his gratitude to the wrong girl.
04:12And his heart with it.
04:14On the seventh day after our bond,
04:16the Academy began preparing for Lila's binding ceremony with the Black Dragon.
04:22Everyone said she was worthy of the most powerful dragon heir in the Academy.
04:27I heard the headmaster himself is presiding.
04:30Of course, Lilla is practically the next saint.
04:33A phoenix bond doesn't make some people less cursed.
04:37Today was also the day Caius had promised to hold a proper ceremony for us.
04:41Phoenixes loved sacred sycanops.
04:44I had saved for three months to buy this one.
04:48I waited from morning until dusk.
04:50Caius never came.
05:02She's really still waiting.
05:04As if the phoenix saint would hold a ceremony for her.
05:06Someone like her should be grateful he looked at her at all.
05:14Oh no!
05:15The phoenix tree died.
05:16Not like he wanted it anyway.
05:18I did not cry.
05:20If I cried, they would only laugh louder.
05:26I carried the dead sapling back to the East Tower.
05:32Caius, are you really giving this to me?
05:34Yes.
05:35But this is your heart feather.
05:37If you like it, it's yours.
05:40A phoenix only has three heart feathers in his lifetime.
05:43Plucking one wounds his soul.
05:45I had never even seen one of Caius' fallen feathers.
05:48But he gave his heart feather to Lillia.
05:56Who let you in?
05:57It was Caius' heart feather.
06:03Today was our binding ceremony.
06:05I had something to do.
06:07Your something was making her a dress.
06:10Ivy, don't be like this.
06:11I have to bind with the Black Dragon tomorrow.
06:13Caius only wanted me to feel less afraid.
06:15So he gave you his heart feather.
06:19What about me?
06:25You are already bound to me.
06:27So I don't need to be cherished?
06:30Stop making a scene.
06:32Those words again.
06:39This was my binding gift to you.
06:44It's dead.
06:46Yes.
06:51Just like the heart that waited for you today.
06:57Ivy, if it bothers you, I can take off the dress.
07:05Enough!
07:07She has to face the Black Dragon tomorrow.
07:09Why are you trying to humiliate her?
07:14Her fear matters.
07:16My pain is just an inconvenience.
07:20Caius did not answer.
07:22His silence was answer enough.
07:24I turned and went to the bond registry.
07:29At this hour?
07:31I want to dissolve my bond with the Phoenix.
07:33Are you sure?
07:34You have six days until adulthood.
07:36If you dissolve the bond and fail to find a new guardian spirit,
07:39you'll be sent to the Forbidden Tower.
07:51The Phoenix Saint has three days to refuse the dissolution.
07:56Then let him refuse.
07:59Aren't you afraid?
08:00I am.
08:02But I'm more afraid of spending the rest of my life waiting for him to turn around.
08:12The next day, I went to the bond registry.
08:16The next day, I went to the bond registry.
08:39I will make you erf Him.
08:40Marsh, lizard spirit.
08:41Weak bloodline.
08:42Bad temper.
08:44No bonded partner yet.
08:46I'll meet him.
08:49You're really willing?
08:56I want to live
09:05You're Ivy?
09:07Yes
09:10The phoenix doesn't want you anymore?
09:12I'm dissolving the bond
09:16Will that mark affect the binding?
09:19No
09:22My bloodline is weak
09:24Your reputation is ruined
09:26I suppose we suit each other
09:29It was cruel
09:30But I swallowed it
09:33If it meant living
09:34I could endure a few cruel words
09:37Are you willing to bind with me?
09:40Tomorrow afternoon
09:41Bond registry
09:45Thank you
09:50When I walked out of the old aphtha tree
09:52The sky was grey
09:54But for the first time
09:56I felt I still had somewhere to go
10:05Who did you go to see?
10:10None of your concern
10:12The marsh lizard spirit?
10:14You would rather bind yourself to that low creature than remain with me
10:18You were the one who let me go first
10:20When did I let you go?
10:21On the day of our ceremony you never came
10:23I waited for you until every candle burned out
10:26You were in your room making Lilia's heart feather gown
10:29She has to face the black dragon tomorrow
10:32So?
10:33She has to face the black dragon so she gets your heart feather
10:36I was humiliated in front of the whole academy
10:39And I didn't even get an apology
10:40Ivy
10:41Stop measuring yourself against her
10:44So I'm not even worth measuring
10:46That isn't what I meant
10:47Then what did you mean?
10:49He was always like this
10:51Quick to hurt me
10:52Slow to explain
10:53I'm looking for a new guardian spirit because I want to survive
10:57Not because I want to upset you
10:59I can keep you alive
11:00With the bond you gave me like charity?
11:03Or with the mercy?
11:04You can take back
11:05The moment Lilia needs you?
11:07You'll regret this
11:08I already do
11:09I regret trusting you
11:12The next afternoon I went to the bond registry
11:15The binding circle was empty
11:17The lizard spirit never came
11:19I waited from noon until dusk
11:22Ivy, he isn't coming
11:23Why?
11:25He bonded with someone else this morning
11:26With whom?
11:28The merchant guildmaster's niece
11:29Someone paid three years of bond support for her overnight
11:33And gave the lizard spirit a second tier magic core
11:35Yesterday, Caius had said
11:38You'll regret this
11:40So this was what he meant
11:41He did not want me
11:43And he would not let anyone else save me
11:48Night fell
11:50I sat alone on the stone steps outside the bond registry
11:53I had five days left before adulthood
11:56No phoenix
11:58No lizard spirit
12:00No new guardian
12:01In the distance, the main hall blazed with light
12:05Everyone was busy preparing for Lilia's binding ceremony with the black dragon
12:09White roses covered the steps
12:12Silver candles were lit one by one
12:14Her path was always paved for her
12:17Mine was always blocked
12:19I stood and brushed the dust from my skirt
12:21If I only had five days left
12:24Then at least for one night I would live for myself
12:26So I turned and walked toward the busiest tavern in the outer district
12:30There were no white roses here
12:32No silver candles
12:34And no one whispering about Lilia's ceremony
12:37Only ale, roasted meat, and loud laughter
12:40I ordered the most expensive honey wine
12:42Then an entire plate of roasted lamb
12:45If I might not live past adulthood
12:48I might as well spend what little I had
12:53Alone?
12:55Alone
12:56Academy girl?
12:57Not for much longer
13:00Then drink something worth remembering
13:02I lifted the cup and took a long swallow
13:05The honey wine was sweet
13:07It still burned going down
13:09For eighteen years
13:10I had saved every copper coin for sacred sycamore
13:13For morning dew
13:14For a phoenix who never looked back
13:15I should have bought myself a decent meal much sooner
13:18A few academy servants sat at the next table
13:21They had drunk too much
13:23And their voices kept rising
13:24Have you heard about tomorrow's black dragon binding ceremony?
13:28Who hasn't?
13:29The saint candidate is binding herself to the black dragon
13:32If she survives him
13:38I heard
13:39The black dragon heir
13:43Can barely hold back the blight anymore
13:48Then Miss Lidlia is in danger
13:51Danger
13:52The phoenix saint
13:54Already gave her a way out
13:56What way out?
13:57The heart of the life tree
14:02It can cleanse curses
14:04Restore bloodlines
14:05Even erase a curse mark from someone's face
14:07Then why didn't the phoenix saint use it on ivy?
14:10Since when does anyone waste a miracle on a cursed girl?
14:15The heart of the life tree
14:16Chaos had always had a way to remove my mark
14:19He had always had it
14:21And he had saved it for Lelia
14:23Girl, something wrong with the lamb?
14:26It's delicious
14:27I had simply understood
14:29At last, fate had not refused to save me
14:32They had
14:33When I returned to the academy
14:35Night had fallen
14:36The main hall was still lit
14:38White roses covered the steps
14:40At dawn, Lelia would wear the heart feather gown
14:43Caius made for her
14:44And walk toward the black dragon
14:46Everyone would call her brave
14:48Holy
14:49Worth saving
14:50And I had four days left before adulthood
14:53No guardian spirit
14:55No way out
14:56I circled around the hall
14:58Heading for my dormitory
15:00Just as I reached the east tower
15:03I heard voices arguing inside
15:06The black dragon's blight has broken through
15:08The seal will hold only until dawn
15:10Before sunrise
15:12Lelia must enter the binding hall
15:17I stopped outside the door
15:19The east tower hall was full of people
15:21The headmaster
15:22Mentors
15:23Noble representatives
15:24And armored guards
15:26Lelia hid behind Caius
15:28Her shoulders shaking as she cried
15:29Caius shielded her with one blazing phoenix wing
15:32Lelia
15:33The black dragon chose you
15:35At dawn, you must complete the bond
15:37No
15:37I don't want to
15:39He'll kill me
15:41If you refuse
15:42The entire academy will be dragged into the dragon dream
15:45The hall is sealed
15:46But the seal won't hold much longer
15:48Caius, save me
15:50I'll take her
15:53Caius?
15:54She needs one final cleansing read first
15:58Go prepare the hall
15:59At dawn, I'll bring her myself
16:01We do not get a second chance
16:04I know
16:05Before sunrise
16:07No later
16:08I stood in the shadow outside the door
16:10About to leave
16:11A strand of gold and crimson flame
16:13Wrapped silently around my wrist
16:16Caius' voice sounded behind me
16:18Ivy
16:19I turned back
16:20Lelia stood at the door of the inner chamber
16:22Pale and silent
16:24Let go of me
16:25Only you can save her
16:31They're waiting for Lelia
16:33You are her twin
16:35Once your curse mark is gone
16:37No one will know the difference
16:39With the heart of the life tree?
16:42So it was true
16:43You knew it could remove my mark
16:45You knew I spent 18 years
16:47Being hated for this face
16:49And you kept it for Lelia
16:51This isn't the time
16:53Then when is the time?
16:54After I die for her in the dragon dream?
16:57Ivy, I'm scared
16:58And I'm not
17:03The heart of the life tree
17:04The thing that could have saved me
17:06Had been within reach all along
17:08In his hand
17:09Ivy, I'm sorry
17:11Don't
17:11You're only sorry
17:13Because I'm the easier sacrifice
17:15Caius' eyes shook
17:16But he did not lower his hand
17:19The green light fell across my face
17:21My curse mark began to burn
17:23I turned to run
17:28Pain struck the back of my neck
17:34The world went black
17:35Before I lost consciousness
17:37I heard Caius whisper near my ear
17:40Sleep
17:42At dawn, you'll walk into the hall as her
17:48I wanted to tell him
17:50Caius
17:51I was the one who saved you that snowy night
17:57But I could no longer make a sound
18:02When I woke, I was sitting inside a silver carriage
18:05Dawn had just broken
18:06Morning fog still clung to the windows
18:08I was dressed in Lelia's white and gold gown
18:11My left cheek was smooth
18:12Caius had finally removed it
18:14Not to save me
18:15To make me pass for Lelia
18:17Outside the carriage
18:18Bells rang one after another
18:21The academy square roared with voices
18:23Everyone believed the girl being taken to the black dragon
18:26Was the saint candidate
18:27No one knew
18:28Inside the carriage sat the cursed girl
18:30They had mocked for eighteen years
18:32The carriage door opened
18:34Cold air rushed in
18:37Caius stood outside
18:38When he saw my face
18:40His gaze faltered
18:41But in the end
18:43He only held out his hand
18:46Get down
18:50I did not take his hand
18:51I lift my skirt and step down on my own
18:54His hand froze in the air
18:58The hall had already been sealed
19:00Ordinary students were held back outside the square
19:04White roses covered the stone steps
19:07Mentors and noble representatives lined both sides
19:11When they saw me
19:13They bowed
19:14Miss Livia
19:15May the goddess watch over you
19:18The academy will remember your courage
19:21So this was what respect felt like
19:26Being mistaken for someone else
19:32Don't speak
19:35Afraid they'll hear I'm not her
19:36Ivy, not now
19:38Those words again
19:40The doors of the hall opened slowly
19:43There was no music
19:45No blessing
19:46Only black mist churning from the center of the binding circle
19:51Inside the mist
19:52A man was bound to the altar with silver chains
19:58His head hung low
20:00Black hair covering half his face
20:03Runes burned along the chains
20:07Every one of them strained against the darkness
20:09He was Adrian
20:11The black dragon heir
20:12Rumor called him cold
20:16Dangerous
20:17Untouchable
20:19Once his blight broke loose
20:21He would drag his bonded partner into the dragon dream
20:23And tear their soul apart
20:31Maybe he had expected me to cry
20:33To beg
20:35To look back at him one last time
20:38I did none of those things
20:40By blood as witness
20:42By soul as bond
20:44Guardian spirit and bonded partner
20:46Shall share fate and bear the curse together
20:53His eyes were not the crimson I had heard about
20:56They were gold
20:59He looked at me
21:00For a long time
21:04Ivy?
21:05My heart jolted
21:06He knew me?
21:08The next second
21:09Black light burst from the circle
21:11The chains snapped
21:12Mist swallowed the hall
21:14A cry rose below the altar
21:17I heard him
21:18I did not turn back
21:20Darkness wrapped around me
21:23It felt as if I were falling from a great height
21:27When I opened my eyes again
21:28I was standing in an unfamiliar garden
21:30There was no black mist here
21:32No chains
21:34No blood
21:35Only sunlight
21:36A clear stream
21:37And blue bell flows
21:38Blooming across the hillside
21:44Was this the dragon dream?
21:47The nightmare that was supposed to tear souls apart?
21:51Beside the hem of my dress lay a small black dragon
21:54He was only as long as my arm
21:56His scales were translucent
21:57His horns barely formed
21:59He opened gold eyes and stared at me
22:02Adrian?
22:03They said you would tear me apart
22:06I reached out and lightly touched one of his horns
22:09His entire body stiffened
22:11The tip of his tail slowly turned red
22:13Are you blushing?
22:15He immediately smacked my hand away with his tail
22:17But his tail only grew redder
22:19At last I laughed
22:20At least he did not want to kill me
22:22At least I was still alive
22:24I carried the little dragon through the garden for a long time
22:28There was no exit
22:29No academy
22:31No path back
22:54Adrian!
22:56Adrian!
23:19Your blood purified the blight
23:22My blood?
23:24The dragon prophecy says only the holy blood witch can do that
23:32A snowy night from long ago crashed into my mind
23:39The abandoned bell tower
23:42The dying firebird
23:45My bleeding wrist
23:47So Caius had not merely remembered wrong
23:51My blood had been able to save them from the beginning
23:57No one had believed a cursed girl could be favored by the goddess
24:01They did not offer me Lilia
24:03They offered me you, my ivy
24:07Your ivy?
24:11I have waited for you for many years
24:15Have we met before?
24:28This is not the time for that
24:30Why?
24:34Because the people outside are still waiting
24:39How long have we been here?
24:43In the dragon dream nearly half a day
24:45Outside less than 15 minutes
24:47So they're still in the hall?
24:49They are waiting for Lilia to die
24:56But the one who returns will be you
24:58The people in the binding hall had not yet left
25:01The black mist had cleared
25:02Broken silver chains lay scattered across the floor
25:05The headmaster, mentors, and noble representatives still stood where they were, pale-faced
25:11Caius stood below the altar
25:13When he saw Adrian and me appear together
25:16His head snapped up
25:18His gaze fell first on my face
25:22Then on Adrian holding my hand
25:29Ivy
25:30You're alive
25:31Disappointed?
25:35That isn't what I meant
25:37She won't translate your excuses anymore
25:40Prince Adrian, you're blade
25:42Gone
25:43That's impossible
25:44She did it
25:50Ivy saved me
25:51Ivy?
25:53Isn't that Miss Lilia?
25:56She isn't Lilia?
25:58The girl you sent in here was never Lilia
26:05It was me
26:07She's Ivy?
26:09But her curse mark
26:10Was removed
26:11By the heart of the life tree
26:16By his hand
26:20Phoenix Saint, explain yourself
26:22Caius did not answer
26:25He only looked at me
26:27There was shock in his eyes
26:30Panic
26:32And fear that had come far too late
26:35When we walked out of the hall
26:37The morning bells were still ringing
26:39They had been held behind the ceiling line
26:42Waiting for news from the hall
26:44Beside the fountain
26:45A white memorial platform had already been built
26:49White ribbons hung from the stone pillars
26:51At the center stood Lilia's portrait
26:53The silver plaque beneath the portrait had not yet been uncovered
26:57But I could already see the words engraved on it
27:00Lilia, who offered herself to the black dragon and saved St. Aurelia Academy
27:07I suddenly laughed
27:09The academy had even prepared her sacrifice in advance
27:16Only the life used to buy that glory was supposed to be mine
27:24The black dragon prince is out
27:26Miss Lilia is back too
27:28She succeeded?
27:29She really purified the black dragon?
27:32Goddess Ebalia saved us!
27:34I did not explain
27:35I walked step by step to the memorial platform
27:38I reached out and tore down the white ribbon
27:43Who are you memorializing?
27:46Miss Lilia
27:52The one who entered the binding hall this morning was not Lilia
28:00It was me
28:02What did she say?
28:04I am Ivy Winter
28:06The one who bonded with the black dragon was me
28:09The one who purified the blight was also me
28:14Ivy? The cursed girl?
28:16Put the mark on her face
28:19If Ivy really went into the hall, then where is the real Livia?
28:24I am Ivy
28:45Ivy
28:54Ivy, I can explain
28:57Explain what?
29:01How you let me die in your place
29:06I didn't
29:08I was just so scared
29:10So was I
29:11No one asked
29:14Ivy, enough
29:17What, afraid she'll be embarrassed again?
29:19She was terrified last night
29:21Last night you seized me
29:23Stripped away my curse mark
29:24Dressed me in her gown
29:25And sent me into that hall to die with the black dragon
29:27And now you're telling me she was terrified?
29:29So Lilia never entered the hall?
29:31Then what is this memorial platform?
29:33She was hiding the whole time?
29:36Lilia panicked
29:39I never meant to take credit for anything
29:41Then say it now
29:43Say you were not the one who saved the academy
29:46Lilia could not say a single word
29:50Of course she could not
29:51She could not give up being St. Arela's perfect girl
29:55She could not give up the glory of St. Hib
30:08Sister
30:09Did my death serve you well?
30:16Enough
30:17Ivy, she is not as cruel as you think
30:20When disappointment reaches its end
30:22It becomes very quiet
30:27Then answer for her
30:30Who did you knock unconscious last night?
30:34Who did you cleanse with the heart of the life tree?
30:39And who did you send into the binding hall?
30:41The square fell silent
30:44His silence was the answer
30:56The academy will investigate this matter
31:00No need
31:03I raised my hand
31:04Tore off the outer layer of the white and gold gown
31:07And threw it to the ground
31:09Beneath it was my original black academy dress
31:14The dress was hers
31:16The life
31:17Was mine
31:26Headmaster
31:27The wolf spirit's blight is flaring
31:29The seals won't hold
31:37Lock it in the forbidden cage
31:39Don't let it near us
31:43Ivy
31:46She just returned from the dragon dream
31:49Your highness
31:50If she truly is the holy blood witch
31:52Now is the time to prove it
31:54The academy must confirm it
32:01I did not like being forced
32:04But I hated the thought
32:06Of watching him be dragged into a cage
32:08And turned into another monster
32:09No one saved
32:13You do not have to bleed for them
32:17Not for them
32:24For him
32:26Adrian was silent for a moment
32:31Then he released me
32:33Only a little
32:35I glanced at him
32:37You're very bossy
32:38For someone I just bonded with
32:41I am your dragon
32:43He said it calmly
32:45The people around us went silent
32:47For some reason
32:49The tips of my ears grew warm
32:51I walked up to the wolf spirit
32:54He growled at me
32:55Blood dripping from his fangs
32:58Careful
32:59I picked up the silver knife
33:01And made a shallow cut
33:02Across my palm
33:03A bead of blood
33:05Welled up
33:06The wolf spirit
33:07Suddenly went still
33:10As if
33:11He had caught a scent
33:13I let my blood
33:14Drip to his lips
33:16One drop
33:17Then another
33:23She's killing him
33:25That isn't holy blood
33:26It's poison
33:27I knew it
33:28A cursed girl could never be a saint
33:32Ivy stop
33:37Anyone who comes closer kneels
33:55I'm alive
33:56The square went so quiet
33:58Only the wind remained
34:00The headmaster stared at him
34:01Lips trembling
34:02The blight
34:03Is gone
34:05Somewhere in the crowd
34:06Someone fell to their knees first
34:07The holy blood witch
34:10Then more heads bowed
34:13She really is the holy blood witch
34:18The prophecy is real
34:20Yesterday
34:21They called me cursed
34:23Today
34:24They called me holy
34:25How quickly names changed
34:28The wound was small
34:30But after my blood left my body
34:32Cold drilled all the way into my bones
34:44I can handle it
34:46I know
34:48I want to
34:50For a moment
34:51I had no answer
34:53Ivy
34:54From today onward
34:56The academy will restore
34:57Every honor owed to you
34:59All blight patients
35:00May come to you
35:01For purification
35:04All
35:04This is the sacred duty
35:06The goddess has placed upon you
35:10When you sent me to die
35:11In another girl's place
35:12Did the goddess forget
35:13To mention that duty?
35:19I will save people
35:23But my blood is not
35:24Academy property
35:27I decide who receives it
35:29You have no right to judge others
35:31She has every right to decide
35:33What happens to her own blood
35:43Miss Ivy
35:44Thank you
35:48Live well
35:49After the proof
35:51The square changed
35:55The students looked at me with awe
36:00Some wanted to come closer
36:03None dared
36:05Lilia stood at the edge of the crowd
36:08Her nails digging into her palm
36:11What she feared most was not hatred
36:16It was being replaced
36:20Before I had been her shadow
36:23Now
36:24She was becoming mine
36:27Ivy
36:27Ivy I need to speak with you
36:33This is between us
36:35There is no us
36:36Between you and her
36:39Black dragon
36:40This is a bond matter
36:42Between me
36:43And my partner
36:48I already filed the dissolution
36:50It takes effect in three days
36:54You truly mean to break our bond
36:55Yes
36:57Over these past few days
36:59A few days
37:01Caius
37:02Do you truly think
37:02I only started hurting yesterday
37:07Was it you back then?
37:12The one who hid me
37:13In the abandoned bell tower
37:14That snowy night
37:15The one who fed me her blood
37:17Was it you?
37:28He had finally remembered to ask
37:31After he pushed me into the binding hall
37:34After he stripped away my curse mark
37:38After he discovered my blood
37:40Could purify blight
37:43Only then did he remember to ask
37:45Does it matter?
37:48It matters
37:50How?
37:52If it was me
37:54What would you do?
37:57Apologize?
37:59Take back the heart feather you gave Lelivia
38:02And offer it to me instead?
38:08Evie
38:11Do you have to do this to him?
38:16To him?
38:17Caius only got confused
38:19That night was chaos
38:21He was badly wounded
38:25Of course he couldn't remember clearly
38:29Then you remembered for him
38:30Didn't you?
38:33You came to the bell tower that day
38:36You saw me holding him
38:40You saw the blood on my wrist
38:46I walked toward her step by step
38:48And for years
38:49You said nothing
38:53I...
38:53I...
38:54I thought he knew
38:55No
38:59You knew he didn't
39:01So Lelia took credit for saving him?
39:04No wonder the phoenix saint always protected her
39:06That's disgusting
39:13I didn't take anything
39:15Caius misunderstood on his own
39:17Then why didn't you correct him when he cared for you?
39:19When he plucked his heart feather for you?
39:21When he sent me to the black dragon to save you?
39:30Is it true?
39:33Caius, I never meant for this to happen
39:35That was answer enough
39:37The fire in Caius' eyes died little by little
39:41For the first time
39:43He seemed to truly see the girl he had protected for so many years
39:47I felt no satisfaction
39:52Only exhaustion
39:56Back to the black tower
39:59Black tower?
40:01My residence
40:03That doesn't sound very welcoming
40:07Cleaner than the east tower
40:13Ivy
40:13I did not turn back
40:17I didn't know
40:18His voice was horsey
40:20If I had known it was you
40:25If you had known, would you have spared me?
40:32My heart went cold
40:34See?
40:36You can't even promise that
40:39Caius, you didn't mistake me
40:41You dismissed me
40:51The black tower stood on the northern side of the academy
40:54Tall black stone walls were carved with dragon runes
40:57From a distance, it looked like a black blade driven into the sky
41:01But when I stepped inside
41:02It was not cold at all
41:04Silver blue fire burned in the hearth
41:06Thick wool blankets lay by the window
41:09Hot tea and warm bread waited on the table
41:11A glass bottle held fresh blue bellflowers
41:14Is this for me?
41:16Yes
41:16How did you know I like bellflowers?
41:21I guessed
41:22I looked at him
41:23His face did not change
41:25But the tips of his ears turned red
41:29Adrian
41:31Yes?
41:32Have you known me for a long time?
41:37Longer than Caius
41:46When you were a child at North Hill Abbey
41:50You once took in a little dragon with no horns
41:56A memory from years ago rushed back
41:59That winter, before I entered St. Rue Academy
42:02I had been sent to North Hill Am because of the curse mark on my face
42:08There, I met a little boy who could not speak
42:11He had no dragon horns
42:13No one wanted him either
42:16I shared stolen bread with him
42:19I even put my hands on my hips and told him to call me Miss Ivy
42:22Then one day
42:24He disappeared
42:26I thought he had died
42:28Little Mute?
42:30I was not mute
42:31My horns had not grown in yet
42:33Speaking hurt
42:34You were that little dragon?
42:35Yes
42:36Why didn't you tell me sooner?
42:37You had the phoenix
42:39So?
42:39You looked like you loved him
42:42I did not want to frighten you
42:44So there had been someone in this world who remembered me
42:47Not for my blood
42:48Not for a bond
42:49Just me
42:51Your Highness
42:52Miss Lilla requests to see Miss Ivy
42:56No
42:59Let her in
42:59You do not have to see her
43:01I know
43:02But I want to hear how she plans to cry her way out of this
43:07Ivy, please help me
43:09With what?
43:11Everyone outside is cursing me
43:13They say I lied
43:14That I stole your credit
43:15That I don't deserve to be the saint candidate
43:17Please tell them it isn't true
43:19Tell them you went in my place
43:21Willingly
43:22I looked at her and almost laughed
43:24Lilia
43:26Even when you beg
43:27You still sound like you expect to be obeyed
43:30I'm not ordering you
43:33Ivy, I have no one else
43:36You always had someone else when it mattered
43:41I know you hate me
43:43But I'm your sister
43:45Did you remember that when you let me die for you?
43:47Her sob stopped
43:49Adrian stood by the window watching her coldly
43:51Lilia trembled under his gaze
43:53Still she crawled closer to me
43:56Ivy, if you say one word they'll believe you
43:59You're the holy blood witch now
44:00No one will question you
44:02So you want to use my name again to save yours?
44:04No
44:06Then what is it?
44:07She could not answer
44:08I looked down at her
44:10Once
44:10I had looked up at her countless times
44:13Watched her be surrounded
44:15Watched her be praised
44:18Watched her pass me in clean, beautiful dresses
44:21Back then, she would smile this gently too
44:24And do nothing
44:26Nothing when others tore up my books
44:28Nothing when they poured cold water over my bed
44:30Nothing when Caius looked at her again and again
44:34She never lifted a hand herself
44:36But every time, she benefited
44:38Lilia, I won't help you
44:42Are you really going to let them destroy me?
44:45I'm not destroying you
44:47Your own choices finally caught up with you
44:50But you have everything now
44:52The black dragon, holy blood, everyone's respect
44:55All I have left is my name
44:56I looked at her
44:58So you admit the glory was stolen
45:01I stood
45:02Escort her out
45:05Ivy!
45:06As she was dragged to the door, she turned back
45:09Her eyes were no longer soft
45:11Only hatred remained
45:13You'll regret this
45:14They respect you only because your blood is useful
45:17Once they see I can purify Blight too
45:19You'll be nothing
45:20The door closed
45:22The room went quiet again
45:23I looked at the door and frowned
45:25What did she just say?
45:26She can purify Blight too
45:28She can't
45:30Adrian came to my side
45:32Then she'll prove that soon enough
45:34Three days later, news spread through the academy
45:37Lilia had healed Blight patients too
45:39The first was a lower fox spirit
45:41The second, a corrupted raven spirit
45:43The third, a noble student's bonded hound
45:47She took no bond support
45:48She asked nothing about whether they had ever mocked me
45:51Anyone who came to her left praising her mercy
45:55The students changed their minds again
45:57Maybe Miss Lilia really was just frightened
46:00If she can purify Blight too
46:01The goddess hasn't abandoned her
46:03Miss Ivy is too cold
46:05She said she only saves people she thinks are worthy
46:07A true saint doesn't choose who deserves saving
46:09Those words reached the Black Tower
46:12While I was eating baked apples
46:17She moves fast
46:19You're not worried?
46:20About what?
46:21If she could truly purify Blight
46:23She wouldn't have cried and begged me to die in her place
46:25I had someone look into it
46:26And?
46:27The three guardian spirits she treated disappeared the next day
46:30That same day, three beast corpses appeared in the Northwood
46:33Same species?
46:34Fox
46:35Raven
46:36Hound
46:38She wasn't purifying them
46:40She used Phoenix Fire to burn away the red glow of the Blight
46:43And their minds with it
46:44Yes
46:44Then she threw them into the Northwood and pretended they had never existed
46:48Lilia was crueler than I had thought
46:50It was not that she could not save people
46:52It was that she did not care whether they survived
46:55She only wanted the reputation of being able to purify
46:58That evening the headmaster sent for me
47:01The academy's judgment hall was packed
47:03Lilia stood in the center
47:05She wore a white dress
47:06Pale and fragile as ever
47:08Kaya stood beside her
47:09When Adrian and I entered
47:11Everyone moved aside
47:12Ivy
47:13Prince Adrian
47:14Three beast corpses were found in the Northwood
47:17They have been identified as the guardian spirits Miss Lilia claimed to have purified
47:23What?
47:24But she healed them
47:26So those spirits were dead?
47:29It wasn't me
47:31I healed them
47:32I don't know why they died
47:34Phoenix Saint
47:34You provided the Phoenix Fire Miss Lilia used
47:37Did you know?
47:42I thought she only wanted to help
47:44You always do
47:45Kaya stiffened
47:46Lilia dropped to her knees
47:48Kaya believed me
47:49I didn't hurt them
47:50Then why did you ask me to send them to the Northwood after every treatment?
47:54The judgment hall went silent
47:56You promised you wouldn't tell
48:00The headmaster raised a hand
48:01Guards stepped forward
48:03Lilia Winter
48:04You are accused of using forbidden magic to harm guardian spirits
48:08You are hereby detained
48:10No!
48:11I didn't!
48:12I'm the Saint Candidate!
48:13You can't do this to me!
48:15Ivy, this was you!
48:16You had the Black Dragon investigate me!
48:18Yes
48:19Because you killed them
48:21They were only lower spirits!
48:26The entire judgment hall went silent
48:28Everyone had heard her
48:30Lilia realized what she had said
48:33Too late
48:34Her mask shattered completely
48:37Lower spirits want to live too
48:41Just like that dying Firebird did
48:43This time
48:45No one pleaded for her
48:53Ivy
48:58The three days are over
49:01And?
49:05My last heart feather
49:07Take it
49:10This time
49:11It isn't compensation
49:13I want you to have it
49:15Once
49:16I had waited outside the East Tower until dawn
49:19Hoping for a single feather that belonged to me
49:21Now
49:22He held his last heart feather before me
49:25But it was no longer a gift
49:28Only guilt
49:29Ivy, please
49:31Don't break the bond
49:36The final moment had come
49:40Caius
49:43Once
49:43I wanted a feather
49:45Now
49:46I want freedom
49:47I looked at the burning heart feather in his palm
49:50And what you're offering me is only your guilt
49:52I don't want it
49:54After I said it
49:56The grey dissolution mark flared
49:57The next second the phoenix bond broke
50:00It felt as if something had been pulled out of my flesh
50:04It hurt
50:06But it also felt light
50:08At last I no longer had to wait for Caius to turn around
50:16Ivy
50:21Don't call me that anymore
50:25We are not that close
50:29Let's go
50:30This time
50:31Caius did not stop me
50:32The window at the end of the corridor was open
50:35Cold wind blew in
50:37He stood where he was
50:38Red hair stirred by the wind
50:40Like a dying fire
50:43I did not look back
50:45After Lilia was imprisoned
50:47Her name was removed from list of saint candidates
50:50The white tower where she had lived was sealed
50:52Her portraits were taken down
50:54The white rose garden was closed to her
50:57I did not visit her
51:02Miss Ivy, Lilia likes us to see you one last time
51:06You don't have to go
51:09I'll go
51:11Some people cannot bear to leave without one last accusation
51:17Then I'm going with you
51:20The underground prison was damp and cold
51:23Lilia was locked in the innermost cell
51:26She wore prison grey
51:28Her hair disheveled
51:29There was no trace of her polished smile left
51:32The moment she saw me
51:34She lunged at the bars
51:36Ivy!
51:37The guard held her back
51:39She stared at me with hatred in her eyes
51:42Are you satisfied?
51:43You finally took everything from me!
51:46Everything from you?
51:50Was the saint's title yours?
51:52Was Caius' gratitude yours?
51:54Was the glory yours?
51:56If you hadn't suddenly become the holy blood witch
51:59I wouldn't be here!
52:00I didn't make you use forbidden magic to kill guardian spirits
52:03They were only lower spirits
52:07Lilia, you never thought you were wrong
52:11I only wanted a better life
52:14So did I
52:16But I didn't climb over other people's bodies to get it
52:22Do you think Caius is innocent?
52:27The marsh lizard spirit?
52:31Caius had him taken
52:32He refused to let you bond with anyone else
52:38You think he only mistuck the wrong girl?
52:45He looked down on you but he still wouldn't let you go
52:49I had guessed as much
52:52But hearing it from her still disgusted me
52:57Thank you for telling me
53:02You're not angry?
53:04I am
53:06But not over him
53:11Ivy!
53:12Why do you get a better fate than me?
53:15I am
53:19Ivy!
53:20Maybe because this time
53:21I stopped giving my life
53:23To other people
53:35Did it hurt?
53:37What?
53:38Hearing the truth
53:40Not as much as I expected
53:43Maybe because someone is holding my hand now
53:51The Black Dragon Prince was strange
53:53He could frighten an entire Judgment Hall with a look
53:58But one kind word left him helpless
54:00On Judgment Day
54:02Snow fell
54:03Lilia was taken to the Ashen execution platform
54:06I did not go to watch
54:08I only sent someone to collect her remains afterwards
54:12Caius disappeared for several days after that
54:15When he returned
54:16Blight had already wrapped itself around him
54:18Phoenix fire was meant to purify corruption
54:22His had turned murky
54:25When he came to the Black Tower
54:27The guards nearly drew their swords
54:31You should not have come
54:35I'm not here to ask for blood
54:37His voice was very soft
54:39I stood behind Adrian and looked at Caius
54:42Caius took out the last heart feather from inside his robe
54:45Most of its light had already faded
54:48I only wanted to give it to you before I lose myself completely
54:52I already refused it
54:55I know
54:55But I still wanted to come
54:58Not so you would forgive me
55:00Only so you would know I finally understand what I lost
55:06Understanding isn't redemption Caius
55:11And one more thing
55:16I know about the Marsh Lizard spirit
55:20You stopped me from bonding with him
55:22Not because he was unworthy of me
55:24But because you wouldn't let me leave
55:28I only...
55:29You only got used to me waiting for you
55:35You never changed
55:37Before you protected Limnia and sent me to die
55:41Later
55:41After you learned I was the one who saved you
55:43You tried to keep me beside you
55:45But not once did you ask what I wanted
55:54Ivy
55:54If I could do it again
55:55There is no again
55:58I saved you once
56:00You hurt me once
56:02We are even
56:19Should I drive it away?
56:23No
56:26It will learn soon enough
56:28There's no place for it here
56:29One month later
56:30St. Aurelia Academy held a new bond coronation for Adrian and me
56:34The headmaster wanted the ceremony in the main hall
56:36I refused
56:38Too many bad memories live there
56:40In the end
56:41We chose the bellflower garden behind the black tower
56:44Blue flowers covered the hillside
56:46Black dragon banners unfurled in the wind
56:50I wore a simple black gown
56:52No white roses
56:55No phoenix heartfeather
57:01What is this?
57:03A reverse scale
57:07Isn't a dragon's reverse scale something you don't give lightly?
57:10Yes
57:11Then why give it to me?
57:15Because I'm afraid you'll decide you don't want me
57:18Your highness
57:19I think you misunderstand your own appeal
57:21You once loved a phoenix
57:22I was wrong about him
57:24And now?
57:29Now I know better
57:36Adrian
57:37Didn't you used to call me Miss Ivy?
57:42We were children
57:43I want to hear it
57:51Miss Ivy
57:52I smiled
57:54Stood on tiptoe
57:55And kissed his dragon horn
57:56The next second
57:57He lifted me into his arms
58:00Adrian!
58:01Dragon horns are not for casual touching
58:03He lowered his head and looked at me
58:05A dangerous smile flickered in his gold eyes
58:08And what happens if they are?
58:11The dragon takes you back to his nest
58:14When the coronation began
58:15The snow stopped
58:17Sunlight fell over the bellflower garden
58:19The headmaster recited the new bond oath
58:22By blood as witness
58:23By soul as bond
58:25Black drag yegan Adrian shall share fate with holy blood witch Ivy
58:32This time no one pushed me onto an altar
58:35No one asked me to die in another girl's place
58:38I walked to his side by choice
58:40On a distant snow pine branch
58:42The dark red bird was still watching
58:46A little noisy
58:48Let it leave
58:49My vow does not need a phoenix as witness
58:54As you wish
58:59The dark red bird fled in panic
59:01And vanished beyond the snow line
59:03Fate had not abandoned me after all
59:07It had only taken the long way around
59:10To return the dragon who had always been mine
59:13To return the dragon who had always been mine
59:14To return the dragon who had always been mine
59:15To return the dragon who had always been mine
59:15To return the dragon who had always been mine
59:15To return the dragon who had always been mine
59:16To return the dragon who had always been mine
