Short filmTranscript
00:00Werewolves and merfolk stand side by side. The werewolves rule the land.
00:04On the continent of Ursulia the werewolves and merfolk stand side by side.
00:08The werewolves rule the land. While the merfolk dwell in the deep sea.
00:12Half a month ago, Wolf King Cyrus's parents mysteriously vanished at sea.
00:17The werewolves placed all the blame on the merfolk.
00:20My people are being hunted down, imprisoned, and having their pearls forcibly dug out.
00:26To prevent the merfolk from being slaughtered, I decided to go ashore and seduce my childhood friend Cyrus, who had
00:32become the Alpha King.
00:35He still loved me deeply and we spent three passionate days and nights together in bed.
00:41Waking up from a haze of pleasure, I hadn't even had the chance to beg Cyrus to release my people
00:46before a corrosive elixir was viciously poured over my heart.
00:50This is just a taste of what's to come if you don't tell me where my parents are.
00:56From then on, I was forced to watch him flirt with his mistress, Emily.
01:01Had to extract my mermaid pearl to help heal her body.
01:04Was forced to dance barefoot to entertain Emily, so that she could sleep.
01:08Cyrus hated every fiber of my being, yet always held me tenderly in his arms whenever I was on the
01:13brink of death.
01:14Do you think I'll go easy on you just because I love you?
01:17I'll make you wish you were dead.
01:21Dad, can't you be good and tell me where my parents are?
01:24Soon, however, these days would come to an end and I wouldn't have to keep that secret any longer.
01:29After all, a mermaid who did not return to the sea after three years on land would turn into seafoam.
01:34And now, there were only three days until my time was up.
01:39What the hell are you looking at with those disgusting eyes?
01:44Late at night, the doors to the basement were kicked open harshly.
01:49How dare you sleep so comfortable when Emily's hurt?
02:01My body was dragged roughly across the course of the gravel road, leaving behind a long trail of blood.
02:13Eventually, I was dragged to Cyrus' feet.
02:16He furrowed his brows when he saw my bloodied state, as if he wanted to say something that held back.
02:22Emily's hurt.
02:24Heal her with your mermaid's pearl.
02:26On the land of Ursulia, the tears of U.S. merfolk can heal any external wound.
02:31I slowly lifted my head, my gaze falling on Emily lying on the bed.
02:35Her lower belly was slightly rounded.
02:37My heart instantly stopped.
02:48What the hell are you looking at with those disgusting eyes?
02:52Who else do you want to hurt?
02:55I... I didn't...
02:57I'm here, so don't you even think of hurting anyone again.
03:02I'm sorry.
03:06I'm sorry.
03:15Slowly, I crawled towards the bed and observed the wounds on Emily's hand.
03:19Clearly, she'd been teasing a starving mermaid with food and got bitten as a result.
03:32Get out, all of you!
03:34I continued, piercing my chest with my sharp nails and extracting the mermaid pearl from within,
03:41trembling from the intense pain that came as a result.
03:49Marina, don't you think you can make me go easy on you by acting pitiful?
03:54I never intentionally acted to garner any pity from him.
03:58That was Emily's forte, not mine.
04:01Illuminated by my mermaid pearl's glow, Emily quickly woke up.
04:12Are you alright? Does it still hurt?
04:16It doesn't hurt anymore, but the scent of blood is making me nauseous, so can you get her out of
04:21here, pretty please?
04:23Are you deaf? Get lost!
04:29Emily, don't ever go close to those ugly, evil mermaids ever again. They'll only hurt you.
04:37You feel so good, Emily. So tight for me.
04:42My heart, already numb with pain, was stabbed with another knife. The pain reaching places I never imagined.
04:56You disgusting monster! Aren't you supposed to be immortal?
05:01Why are you bleeding all over the floor instead of healing your wounds quickly?
05:12Wipe the floor clean or I'll tell the Alpha King to punish you.
05:15I started wiping the floor, but it was a never-ending task. I couldn't stop bleeding, so the floor never
05:21became clean.
05:22Through the narrow crack in the door, I saw their naked bodies intertwined, Cyrus thrusting deeply into Emily as she
05:29moaned beneath him.
05:32You feel so good, Emily. So tight for me.
05:37Cyrus.
05:38That's it, baby.
05:41Cyrus.
05:45I cried silently. I thought very soon I would finally be free. Even mermaids with their legendary immortality would still
05:53die. I was finally reaching the last three days of my life.
06:02I'll deal with this dirty thing immediately.
06:05As I cleaned the final drop of blood on the floor, the wound on my chest finally healed completely. At
06:12the same time, a new day dawned for the Moonshadow Pack.
06:18Cyrus emerged from the bedroom, still carrying Emily's scent. The fresh kiss mark on his neck burned my eyes like
06:25a brand. He glanced at the rag soaked in dark red blood and frowned.
06:30Why is there so much blood?
06:33I didn't explain. I only lowered my head.
06:37I'm sorry.
06:39I'll deal with this dirty thing immediately.
06:42That monster actually asked me how to please a werewolf and what gifts to give a werewolf mate before?
06:49Goodness! Is she trying to seduce the Alpha King?
06:52Gosh, how delusional. Doesn't she know those dirty merfish are the reason the Alpha King's parents disappeared?
06:57She should spend her entire life repenting!
07:00Hearing those words, I immediately sensed danger and tried to retreat back to the basement.
07:04But Cyrus was faster.
07:07I just remembered.
07:09It's time for me to interrogate you.
07:11Now talk.
07:13Where did you take my parents?
07:20I closed my eyes. The terrifying memories of being electrocuted in this exact chair flooded my mind. My whole body
07:28began to tremble uncontrollably.
07:36Please. No. Not again.
07:41I begged in a broken voice, tears streaming down my face.
07:55Cyrus!
07:57I'm begging you!
07:59The moment I finished speaking, strong electrical currents surged through my body.
08:05No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!
08:15entire body convulsed violently and the wounds that had just scabbed over split open again
08:20fresh blood poured out when the current finally stopped i was so weak i could barely breathe
08:26i just want to know where my parents are marina if you tell me i'll let you go
08:32i could never let anyone know where cyrus's parents were i i won't tell you
08:48we'll be that way
08:55his was a matter of their safety cyrus stared at me for a very long while before scoffing and
09:02ordering for his underlings to bring the mermaid pearls that i thought i'd kept hidden
09:10my eyes went wide and i struggled in the chair
09:13what are you doing you can't do that
09:22of course i can i can do whatever i want to a criminal like you
09:37i hear that mermaid pearls contain the souls of you murphic
09:42and that you'll never be able to revive them ever again
09:46if their mermaid pearls were destroyed
09:49does this pearl belong to your father or your mother
09:54he didn't know the pearl he had just crushed under his foot wasn't someone else's it was mine
10:03i hate you cyrus in response i got a kiss that was so fierce i couldn't breathe
10:10you hate me what right do you have to hate me
10:15i didn't speak his kiss making me dizzy and confused mermaids had always had the custom of taking human form
10:22and going ashore to look for their true love
10:24i was three years old when i first met cyrus
10:30mom i like her can she be my luna
10:33the moment he saw me he looked up at his mother and asked
10:37well you would need to treat her well and get her to like you first right
10:44after that cyrus and i became the best of friends spending most of our time together
10:51the year i turned 15 merfolk started being hunted for their healing abilities
10:55i was forced to leave the land and return to the sea
10:59but i'd often sneak back on land and look for cyrus
11:02when people asked me about my identity
11:08she's my beloved girlfriend
11:10and my future luna marina
11:14at that moment i realized that i'd completely and utterly fallen for him
11:27in any case i wouldn't have to bear any of this love or any of this hate ever again
11:32i had two days left cyrus tried to lift me from the chair
11:36only to find his arms soaked in my blood
11:39he paused and looked at my ruptured wounds
11:43it's dirty isn't it
11:44but it's fine
11:46i'm going to die
11:55you can't die
11:58not without my permission
12:07undoing the shackles on my ankles
12:09he plunged me into a pool of healing elixir
12:11i coughed and choked
12:13and the wounds on my body stopped bleeding
12:21however i felt that there was something wrong with the healing elixir that i was plunged into
12:26my body was temporarily healed for sure
12:29but the side effects were going to leave irreparable damage on my body
12:33looking up i caught sight of emily hiding behind the door
12:38marina i want you dead
12:54in my days i felt someone hold me close caressing my hair gently
13:01marina if all of this never happened
13:05if only things were as they were
13:08only a guard that dragged me to the courtyard
13:11the scorching sunlight beat down on me relentlessly
13:14and i quickly felt dehydrated
13:16cyrus and emily were there in the courtyard
13:18and seeing me emily made a show of looking concerned
13:21you haven't eaten in a long time right
13:24are you hungry
13:25my throat was dry and it hurt to even draw in a single breath
13:30so i couldn't respond to her immediately
13:32at emily's signal a guard kicked me hard
13:36the kick landed right on an unhealed wound
13:38and fresh blood stained my clothes again
13:43cyrus seemed irritated
13:45he frowned and threw his coat over me
13:49enough
13:49heal your wound and stop playing the victim
13:52you know that new feints are the sight of blood
13:54a devious glint flashed through emily's eyes
13:57as she threw dirty meat and vegetables
13:59onto the ground in front of me
14:00you must be hungry
14:02eat up
14:06from the looks of it
14:07that moment earlier with him holding me and crying
14:10must have been a dream
14:11how could he possibly still hold any feelings toward me
14:14i slowly lowered my head and reached for the food on the ground
14:18pitifully eating like a disgraced mutt
14:28suddenly emily's voice
14:30underlined with malice
14:31rang in my ears
14:33why aren't you eating the meat
14:35i'm sure you need the nutrition right
14:42numbly i placed the meat into my mouth
14:52my sense of taste had long since been dulled from all the pain i suffered
14:56so all i could feel was that the meat was slightly different from anything i'd ever eaten before
15:05is it good
15:10they're always in seawater so i'm sure mermaid flesh is pretty tender right
15:15a piece of meat dropped from my mouth as i raised my head in shock
15:18looking at emily as if i was processing what she just told me
15:22her smile only grew wider relishing in my pain
15:25a wave of nausea rose up and i collapsed to the ground
15:32i had thrown up all over emily's heels
15:44without waiting for orders the guards grabbed me by the hair and dragged me away stuffing a rock into my
15:51mouth
15:59cyrus held emily in his arms threw away her soiled shoes and ordered a servant to fetch her a new
16:05pair
16:05he used to treat me like that too in the past but now all he had for me was hatred
16:11what's wrong marina you should have expected this when you mershicks hurt us werewolves
16:19since you don't want to eat just throw the meat into the rubbish
16:24emily wore a new pair of shoes and kicked the meat away before turning to look at cyrus
16:30alpha king don't blame marina she's just not hungry that's all
16:34how about you let her keep me company while i paint to make up for it
16:41you're too kind emily
16:43then he took the rock from my mouth wiped away the dirt on my face and gripped my chin
16:49hear that you upset emily and now she's giving you the chance to make up for it
16:55keep her company and don't make her unhappy
17:08cyrus's grip on my chin became tighter and he seemed to want to say something but he was
17:13interrupted by an incoming call he stood up and bid farewell to emily before leaning down and kissing
17:19her pregnant belly watching them i couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness washing over me
17:25after cyrus left emily didn't bother keeping up the act
17:29any longer only rolling her eyes at me i don't like being watched while i paint go sit by the
17:34trash can
17:36i quietly moved to sit by the trash can the sun was far too bright for me today and there
17:41was at least some shade by the trash can
17:46a few moments later emily's maid came over with a bucket
17:49hey monster emily needs red paint for her drawing the prettiest red is the color of blood so extract a
17:57bucket of your blood for her use this
18:02i hesitated
18:04but it's rusted
18:07do you think you're still a princess don't be so picky and cut yourself already or i'm not gonna go
18:14easy on you
18:16the maid put her hands on her hips and yelled
18:35all i could do was take the dagger and slit my wrist allowing the blood to drip into the bucket
18:40i only stopped when my lips turned purple and i was close to passing out when the bucket was finally
18:46full
18:52leaning against the trash can in a daze i heard a few maids talking in the courtyard nearby
18:59emily's paintings are just gorgeous
19:01it's a pit how difficult it is for her to get the materials she needs for her paints
19:07did you know that she could only get a tiny bottle of pearl powder after killing several merwith
19:15why do those monsters only have one mermaid pearl
19:19since they're freaks anyway what's a few more
19:21the end you know you may have three while familiars
19:51you know that she's remaining here
20:06When I got there she had her hand around the throat of a mermaid, her knife stabbing into
20:11their chest with precision, digging out their mermaid pearl and crushing it in one fluid
20:16motion. At that moment I felt like my heart was crushed into pieces as well. Wiping the
20:23blood on her hands she turned to look at me.
20:32Marina, I didn't know that you merfish had differently colored pearls.
20:36I just want white ones. I hear only royalty has pearls of that color, right?
20:45You're the mermaid princess. So you must know who's royalty, right?
20:50Could you help me get their white pearls, pretty please?
20:55You're murdering my people? For paint? Just a few more. Pretty please, princess?
21:07There, locked in a tank of water, was my younger brother.
21:14Big sis, save me!
21:22Ah, so he's your brother. How cute. I'll go with him next then.
21:34By her orders, two guards dragged my little brother out from the tank and held his chest
21:39up to Emily's knife. Please, Emily! Let him go! He was adopted, so he isn't royalty!
21:47My pearl is white, so use mine! But you're a filthy little liar.
21:53So who knows if you're lying now, too?
21:59In any case, I'll know once I see it.
22:03Little boy, I'll take your pearl, then Marina's-
22:11No! You brat! How dare you!
22:17Don't hurt Marina!
22:20I already told you that you would know where your parents were when the time was right!
22:32Marina!
22:33Marina! You already hurt my parents, so are you gonna do the same to Emily?
22:37Please, let him go! I'll take the punishment! I'll take the punishment, so take me instead!
22:45Shut up!
22:46Don't make me repeat myself over and over again! If you let me know where my parents are,
22:51I'll let go of both him and you!
22:56You don't know a damn thing! I already told you that you would know where your parents were when
23:00the time was right! Why did you have to torture me time and time again and even hurt my family?!
23:06I hate you, Cyrus!
23:13Since you won't talk, fine. Let your brother atone in your place.
23:25My brother's body quickly turned cold and stiff. His soul destroyed. He was truly gone.
23:37My brother's body quickly turned cold and stiff. His soul destroyed. His soul destroyed.
23:44Emily pretended to help me up, but just as she got close, she threw herself to the floor.
23:49Clutching her stomach, she cried and accused me.
23:58Marina, why did you push me? I was just joking, and your brother tried to bite my hand off.
24:06Now you're trying to kill my baby too?
24:09Yes. I want to kill all of you.
24:15Kill me.
24:36Once Emily's pup comes, you'll pay the price.
24:45Watching him anxiously leave with Emily, I chuckled bitterly. That day would never come. I was about to die after
24:54all.
24:56Let this endless pain end here.
25:03Once more, I was dragged into the dark and gloomy basement.
25:07Right above me was the temporary delivery room.
25:18It hurts, Cyrus! It hurts so much!
25:26I can't do this anymore!
25:33Finally, I can finally be free.
25:39Let me go.
25:41Let this endless pain end here.
25:57Alpha King, your parents have returned!
26:15Where's Marina?
26:18Where did she come to see you?
26:20Quick, take her to the sea! If she doesn't get into the water soon, she'll die!
26:30Cyrus's breath hitched as panic filled his heart, but he still tried to put on a brave front, replying nonchalantly.
26:38Stop joking, Dad. Murphid can't die.
26:41She hurt Emily just now, so I locked her in the basement.
26:49You idiot! Enough talk! Bring us to the basement now!
27:08Mom, Dad, look.
27:12She's fine, see?
27:22In the next moment, Cyrus fell to his knees, trembling as he cradled me in his arms.
27:28As the Alpha King, he had never knelt to anyone before, but now he seemed to care about nothing else.
27:35All he could see was me gradually fading away.
27:52Marina, you're just pretending to be Pizzle again, right?
27:55You're not really hurt, are you?
27:59I wanted to reply to him, but I couldn't.
28:17Don't die, Marina!
28:19You're not allowed!
28:21I haven't had the chance to see you in a wedding dress, nor tell the world that you were my
28:25Luna.
28:25We haven't told each other we loved each other yet.
28:28Speak, Marina.
28:29Tell me everything and I'll believe you.
28:31Please don't die.
28:32Dad.
28:37You said to put her in seawater.
28:40Go get her to seawater, right now!
28:43Go get her to seawater, right now!
28:59But it was already too late.
29:01I could no longer be saved.
29:08Don't scare me, Marina.
29:09Marina.
29:11Why are you becoming so light?
29:17You still haven't told me the truth, so don't leave!
29:28I couldn't hear anything beyond that, my consciousness fading into nothingness.
29:35My death was already inevitable, so even if I was placed into seawater,
29:40it only slowed down the speed of me dissolving into foam.
29:54Mom, Dad, where did the merfish take you?
29:59Didn't they kidnap you?
30:02Were you hurt?
30:21So you tortured Marina like this without even knowing the truth?
30:25Your father and I have never taught you to be like this.
30:29The merfish didn't hurt us.
30:31In fact, they're the saviors of our pack.
30:34Marina even saved you too.
30:41But I saw the merfish and take you away back then.
30:54That was just one act we put on.
30:57One that we decided on together with the merfid.
31:05Cyrus, our ancestors had once offended a powerful dark sorcerer, and so we were cursed.
31:10From then on, all the werewolves in our pack would have genetic defects.
31:13The merfid are the only ones who can help to resolve this.
31:16The fact that we have genetic defects can't be known by our conciders,
31:19and our research had always been held in secret.
31:24Because we once helped Marina's parents, they agreed to aid our tribe in curing the genetic illness.
31:29Of that, they healed who won your genetic ill beer, was Marine.
31:34Using her own flesh and blood.
31:36In fact, we already owe the merfish too much, and look what you've done!
31:59But why didn't she tell me the truth?
32:02After all this time.
32:08Because there's been a traitor among us.
32:11The whole reason Marina came ashore was to find the traitor too!
32:19Oh!
32:21Oh!
32:24Oh!
32:26Oh!
32:28Oh!
32:30Oh!
32:31Oh!
32:32Oh!
32:32Oh!
32:33Oh!
32:35Oh!
32:51Earlier, in his rush to save me, he'd completely ignored the smell of the basement.
32:56Now, looking around, he realized mold grew all over the damp, wooden floors,
33:02and that this place was in no condition for anyone to live in.
33:16I never had my own room before, only living in Cyrus's wardrobe at night.
33:21Later on, I was kicked out because Emily didn't want me to sleep in the same room as Cyrus.
33:26With fake pity, she had the maids arrange for me to stay in the basement instead.
33:32I never had my own room before, even my own room, didn't want me to sleep in the basement.
33:32Oh!
33:37Oh!
33:38Oh!
33:39Oh!
33:39Oh!
33:39Oh!
33:39Oh!
33:40Oh!
33:54Oh!
33:55He wants to see you!
34:05Were you the one who put Marina in this place?
34:15Emily said that a dark and damp place like this suited Merman.
34:33So this is how Emily secretly tortured Marina behind my back.
34:39How kind of her.
34:43All this time.
34:47I've been blind.
34:51Marina, I'm sorry.
34:55I'm so sorry for everything I did to you.
35:16What's the use of your repentance now Cyrus?
35:19When I was begging you.
35:20When I was bleeding and dying every day.
35:23Where was this regret your apology comes far too late.
35:26I don't need it anymore.
35:30A deal?
35:56Cyrus, I heard that your parents returned, is that true?
36:01It is.
36:05My parents returned, and they said that we've misunderstood her all these years,
36:12and that they left because of a deal they made.
36:16A deal? Why didn't I know about it?
36:22Have some rest.
36:24Marina's not doing well, so I need to go take care of her.
36:27Sleep by yourself tonight.
36:44Oh, bless my heart.
36:52Alpha King, you should know that death is an irreversible journey.
36:58Marina's mermaid pearl is almost fully seafoom, so there is no way to resurrect her.
37:03At this point, it would be simpler to find her a place to rest.
37:17Useless! All of you!
37:19I didn't spend so much money hiring you to hear you blubber excuses!
37:24If you can't cure Marina, then you will be laid to rest with her!
37:29I'll tell you later!
37:29I don't care!
37:30I'll tell you later!
37:36I'll tell you later!
37:38I can't cure you, though.
37:46I'll tell you later!
37:49I'll tell you later!
38:03Alpha King
38:05What's the use of doing all this after all this time?
38:09You're the one who tortured Marina for all these years
38:11And the source of all her pain
38:13What's the point of making yourself look like a heartbroken fool now
38:16When she's already gone?
38:22Finally, someone put to words what had been bothering me during this entire exchange
38:26Cyrus treated me like the dirt under his feet while I was still alive
38:30Yet acted repentant after I was dead
38:32What was the point?
38:34I didn't want this love that came too late
39:06It's alright Marina
39:08Let me end your life for you
39:10No
39:39Oh, my God.
39:53Die, Marina.
40:13Oh, my God.
40:24Cyrus.
40:27Cyrus, why are you here?
40:31Emily, why did you want to kill Marina?
40:33She's never done a thing to you.
40:34I did it to help you.
40:36I know you hate her, so I killed her for you so you didn't need to dirty your hands.
40:42Besides, she's nothing but a monster, so she should have died ages ago.
40:47I was only doing the right thing.
40:56You did it to help me?
40:59Then what about when you locked her up in that narrow basement and used her blood as paint?
41:05You're just a venomous witch who's jealous of Marina.
41:11I'm venomous?
41:13How dare you?
41:14If I'm venomous, then what are you?
41:17Did you forget that you've tortured her not less than I did?
41:21Did you ever try helping her even once when she was in pain?
41:25She's already dead now, so she can't see anything you do.
41:29Cyrus, I'll only love you from now on, so can't we live happily together?
42:05Cyrus, I'll only love you from now on, so can't we live happily together?
42:19Alpha King, are you going to punish me because of those monsters?
42:27How dare you do this to me?
42:29I'm the future Luna Queen!
42:36Cyrus immediately slapped her across her face, before throwing a stack of parchment at her.
42:47Are you mad?
42:49Marina's my Luna Queen!
42:51Besides, you're nothing but a traitor who betrayed the pack!
42:59Emily was pinned to the ground, her once dainty face becoming smudged with dirt.
43:04Even when she saw the parchment, she didn't think that she did anything wrong.
43:10Fine!
43:11You can call me a traitor, so what?
43:13Those Murphan are monsters!
43:15They're not from the same spreece as us, so they'd never help us out of the goodness of their hearts!
43:19You can't let them trick you!
43:21Alpha King, are you going to punish me because of those monsters?
43:26Cyrus took in several deep breaths, but he still couldn't suppress the pain in his heart.
43:31All these years, he'd stubbornly hurt the one who truly loved and cared for him,
43:35all while treating the vicious witch in front of him so well, he really messed up.
43:41My body was immediately torn to shreds by the magic.
43:45Emily, you're actually the descendant of the Dark Sorcerer,
43:49and you infiltrated the Moonshadow Pack so that our deal with the Murphish would never come to fruition!
43:56Everyone looked at Emily in shock.
43:59How could you know that?
44:01Who told you?
44:12Believe me now, son.
44:15Emily did all this because of her plan.
44:18But I really do want to be with Cyrus! I do!
44:22Emily cried loudly, but Cyrus only looked down at her like she was nothing more than trash.
44:31With a sudden burst of strength, she shook herself free from the werewolf that held her down
44:36and activated black magic toward the water tank, where I was held.
44:42No! No, don't!
44:44Here's what you get for not loving me, Cyrus!
44:54My body was immediately torn to shreds by the magic,
44:57to the point where one couldn't even tell that it was me anymore.
45:02But my soul had started to become lighter and lighter.
45:06Marina!
45:07How dare you!
45:09Don't stop me!
45:10Cyrus wanted to jump into the water tank to save me,
45:13but he was held back by the guards.
45:15It was common knowledge, after all,
45:17that touching dark magic was tantamount to a death sentence.
45:21Emily sat there on the ground,
45:22fresh blood dripping out of her nose as she smiled deviously.
45:26The black magic had taken a toll on her.
45:33How dare you stop me!
45:35Look, now her body's gone!
45:44At that moment, Cyrus looked up,
45:46and his eyes precisely met where my soul was floating.
45:49I was surprised.
45:50Could he see me?
46:01Marina, please.
46:03Please don't go.
46:05Stay with me.
46:06Perhaps it was because my body was completely destroyed,
46:09but my soul had started to become lighter and lighter,
46:12as if I was about to fade out of existence.
46:14In the end, I was completely out of reach.
46:17As the Alpha King, he had always faced everything with composure.
46:20But now, just because he couldn't hold my hand,
46:23Cyrus was already in tears.
46:31Cyrus locked himself in the laboratory for an entire week.
46:34He refused to eat or drink.
46:36No matter who came, he ignored them completely.
46:42Servants left meals at the door,
46:44only to take them away untouched.
46:48Guards stood outside,
46:50listening to the periods of dead silence
46:52broken only by the sound of things being smashed.
47:06No one dared to knock.
47:08No one dared to speak.
47:21When he finally reappeared before everyone,
47:23the entire pack drew in a sharp breath.
47:26The once majestic Alpha King now looked as if all his strength had been drained away.
47:32I need to atone for everything I've done.
47:43Werewolves hugged each other, cried, and celebrated.
47:46The genetic serum developed by the merfolk was finally made public.
47:49It was the result of many years of cooperation between Marina's parents and Cyrus' parents,
47:54a formula capable of repairing the werewolves' genetic defects.
47:59Cyrus personally handed the formula to the pack's alchemists and ordered mass production.
48:11On the day the first batch was completed,
48:13the entire moon shadow pack erupted in cheers.
48:17Werewolves hugged each other, cried, and celebrated.
48:20They no longer had to fear the diseases and early deaths caused by their genetic defects.
48:37Yet Cyrus stood apart from the crowd, silent.
48:40His beta walked over and lowered his voice.
48:45Alpha King, won't you say a few words?
48:49Cyrus shook his head and turned to leave.
48:52He didn't know what to say.
48:53All he knew was that this serum, which had saved his entire race, had been bought with Marina's flesh and
49:00blood.
49:01She had endured his torture day after day, night after night, yet she never stopped treating his people.
49:07And he had known nothing.
49:09He hadn't wanted to know anything.
49:12What?
49:15What did you say?
49:17On the day Emily was sentenced to death, Cyrus personally went to the dungeon.
49:22Emily sat huddled in the corner of her cell, hair disheveled.
49:26She no longer resembled the glamorous mistress she once was.
49:31The moment she saw Cyrus, she threw herself against the iron bars.
49:39Cyrus, you're here to save me, right?
49:44Cyrus stood outside the bars, staring at her expressionlessly.
49:48Cyrus, I was wrong.
49:50I shouldn't have hurt Marina.
49:52I shouldn't have lied to have lied to you.
49:54But I really do love you.
49:56You can't kill me.
49:58I gave birth to your child.
50:00That child is not mine.
50:02Emily's voice cut off abruptly.
50:04What?
50:07What did you say?
50:11The child in your belly belongs to you and that dark sorcerer.
50:17You've been lying to me from the very beginning.
50:22Cyrus!
50:24You can't do this to me!
50:26Cyrus!
50:27Cyrus!
50:29Behind him came Emily's heart-wrenching screams.
50:37On the day of Emily's execution by fire, the sky was dark and overcast.
50:42The entire moon shadow pack had gathered.
50:44They threw stones and spat at the execution platform.
50:54Emily stood tied to the stake with heavy iron chains.
50:57Her eyes frantically searched the crowd before finally locking onto the distant high platform.
51:03Cyrus stood there, flanked by his parents.
51:05He wasn't even looking at the execution platform.
51:10Cyrus!
51:12I curse you!
51:14You will never have Marina!
51:17You will live in pain forever!
51:32But his mother, standing beside him, noticed his tightly clenched fists, the knuckle's bone white.
51:38After the execution ended, Cyrus left alone.
51:48He didn't return to the palace.
51:51Instead, he went to the Merfolk Sea.
51:53He sat on the shore, watching the waves crash against the sand again and again, until night fell.
51:59Myself!
52:00I love the
52:01Jacob's
