Transcript

00:00:04I fell into the hands of the most ruthless siren in the deep sea.

00:00:08I survived by lying to his face, convincing him I was his fiancée.

00:00:13The good news, I'm alive, and the monster Kang has a five-year-old son who calls me mommy.

00:00:19Mother!

00:00:19The bad news, he despises liars.

00:00:22Everyone who's ever lied to him has been eaten.

00:00:24Then his enemies find out the truth, and they want me and the kid dead.

00:00:30Now the only thing standing between me and the abyss is the one secret he can never know.

00:00:35The submarine's engine had exploded, dragging me down into the Forbidden Trench beneath the sea court.

00:00:40The water was pitch black.

00:00:42My suit was destroyed.

00:00:43I should have been drowning.

00:00:44A perfect catalyst.

00:00:46Oxygen suddenly filled my lungs.

00:00:48I was breathing underwater.

00:00:49Then I smelled blood.

00:00:51A lot of blood.

00:00:52A tall, terrifying figure glided out of the darkness.

00:00:55Black scales rippled over his chest, his blue eyes cold and lifeless.

00:01:05Your blood will wake the power sleeping inside me.

00:01:11You can't kill me!

00:01:14I'm your fiancée.

00:01:17Everything went dead silent.

00:01:21What do you mean by that?

00:01:22My mind raced.

00:01:23I'd taken the right gamble.

00:01:24I'd read the classified oceanographic files before the dive.

00:01:27They mentioned an ancient siren kingdom beneath this trench.

00:01:30The files warned that sirens were utterly ruthless, except to their mates, whom they protected with violent devotion.

00:01:36A mysterious high-energy blast in these waters last year had wiped the memories of every creature down here.

00:01:41If he was one of them, I could bullshit my way out of this.

00:01:44I came looking for you.

00:01:45I wiped away tears, spinning the saddest love story possible.

00:01:52We've been engaged since we were kids.

00:01:54After your accident, you lost your memory.

00:01:57But I never stopped searching for you.

00:01:59Father!

00:02:00She's lying!

00:02:01I froze.

00:02:02A little boy swam out of the shadows.

00:02:04He had dark hair and icy golden eyes, looking like a mini-replica of the Lethal Prince.

00:02:08A glowing blue pearl flowed above his tiny palm.

00:02:12Let's verify it.

00:02:13Before I could run, he grabbed my wrist.

00:02:15A searing wave of heat shot through my veins.

00:02:18A silver-blue mark lit up my skin like a crescent moon under the sea.

00:02:23Lucien?

00:02:24Father, she is not your fiancée.

00:02:27My heart stopped.

00:02:28Game over.

00:02:29The kid saw straight through me.

00:02:30I closed my eyes, waiting for the claws to tear me apart.

00:02:34I think she's my mommy!

00:02:42Before I could process what happened, Kale's massive tail whipped around my waist, yanking

00:02:47me down into the freezing darkness of the deep abyss.

00:02:51Lucien swam effortlessly beside us.

00:02:55Shapes moved inside the dark coral walls, jagged teeth and glowing eyes watching me like I was

00:03:00a fresh meal.

00:03:01The second Kale swept past, every shadow recoiled in sheer terror.

00:03:05Goosebumps erupted over my skin.

00:03:06The moment Kale's tail loosened, I panicked and grabbed onto his bare waist for safety.

00:03:11He paused.

00:03:11But surprisingly, he didn't shake me off.

00:03:14Instead, he dragged us straight into a forgotten, abandoned palace deep in the abyss.

00:03:19Taking one cautious step, I kicked a heavy golden trunk and lost my balance.

00:03:29You can't see?

00:03:32Did I seriously father an heir with a night-blind woman?

00:03:35My mouth twitched, but I looked right toward his voice.

00:03:40I can't see in the dark, yet you still insisted on marrying me.

00:03:44That only proves one thing.

00:03:46You used to love me more than life itself.

00:03:48A suffocating silence fell over the grand hall.

00:03:54Father, did you really love mommy that much?

00:03:59Lucien, shut up.

00:04:01Fearing I had pushed my luck too far, I quickly changed my tune.

00:04:04Give me a little light and I can see fine.

00:04:06Kale flicked his fingers.

00:04:07The entire pitch-black palace was instantly bathed in a breathtaking, dreamlike azul glow.

00:04:12I let out a long breath, turned to the lethal siren, and gave him my warmest smile.

00:04:16Since you don't remember the past, let's start over.

00:04:19My name is Elena.

00:04:23Kale.

00:04:25Obviously, he didn't fully buy my story.

00:04:27I had no powers and zero chance of surviving this monster-infested ocean floor on my own.

00:04:32To stay alive, I had to chain myself to him and his kid.

00:04:34Kale's unblinking golden eyes stared right through me.

00:04:37You claim to be my fiancé.

00:04:39Where is the proof?

00:04:40I reached for the pendant around my neck, a worn silver half-moon shell.

00:04:43I'd been wearing it when they rushed me to the hospital after the last dive accident.

00:04:45I had no idea where it came from, but that didn't stop me from making up a story on the

00:04:49spot.

00:04:49This was your promise token to me.

00:04:53You have the other half.

00:04:55When the two moonshells join, they form the royal crest.

00:04:58It means we can never be parted.

00:05:03Then why do I not have it?

00:05:05You were caught in that terrible explosion.

00:05:08My voice trembled perfectly as I forced tears into my eyes.

00:05:13Even if you lost it in the chaos, it doesn't matter.

00:05:16As long as you're alive, that's enough for me.

00:05:19I closed the distance and pressed myself against his rock-hard chest, striking right at his heart.

00:05:23You never used to look at me so coldly, I whispered, resting my hand over his pounding pulse.

00:05:29You used to say I was your greatest treasure, that if I called you husband, you would give your life

00:05:34for me.

00:05:39Our bond can't just disappear, right?

00:05:43A faint, unexpected flush of red spread across the sea prince's cheeks.

00:05:47He jolted, shoving me away as he retreated to the palace doors.

00:05:50Foolish human! Do not think I will fall for your words so easily!

00:05:54With that, he fled into the dark waters.

00:05:58I sat back on the coral throne, wiped my fake tears, and snit it.

00:06:03He actually blushed.

00:06:05Outside, the terrifying siren lord leaned against the marble pillar, the tips of his pointed ears burning red.

00:06:14Lucian, she might actually be my mate.

00:06:17What do I do?

00:06:18She looked at me like she wanted to eat me alive.

00:06:24Over the next few days, Kyle barely showed up.

00:06:26He only returned to toss me looted human canned food and pretty dresses, then vanished back into the deep.

00:06:33I felt like a stray pet.

00:06:35Luckily, Lucian sneaked over daily, his golden eyes sparkling as he munched on spam.

00:06:41My heart softened, but I kept my focus.

00:06:45Lucian, is there a secret pathway back to the surface?

00:06:48Before he could answer, the water outside churred violently.

00:06:51Kale staggered in, dropped a tin of tuna into my lap, and collapsed onto the stone floor.

00:06:55Kale!

00:06:58Pulling aside his blood-soaked toque, I sucked in a breath.

00:07:01A bone-deep wound gabed across his chest, oozing black, venomous blood.

00:07:04Outside, dozens of scrimmin' eyes ignited in the dark, scavenger monsters smelling weakness.

00:07:09Gritting my teeth, I dragged him onto the giant cab bed.

00:07:12I tore a strip from my dress.

00:07:14Then I hastily wiped the black blood from his wound.

00:07:17Lucian! Medicine!

00:07:18Lucian swam frantically to a shelf and grabbed a black healing pill, handing it straight to me.

00:07:22I tried to force it into Kale's mouth, but his jaw was locked tight in unconsciousness.

00:07:26Mommy, pass him the pill with your mouth. Give father CPR or a kiss.

00:07:30You've watched too many human movies. If my hands can't pry it open, how will a kiss work?

00:07:34True love's kiss cures everything.

00:07:36Fine. Why argue with a five-year-old?

00:07:38I straddled Kale's hips and forcibly pried at his jaw.

00:07:41Kale! You can't die! If you die, I'm doomed!

00:07:43Oh, mommy is dying for love. If father dies, she won't live either.

00:07:48I accidentally popped Kale's jaw right out of place.

00:07:53At that exact moment, those icy golden eyes slowly opened, staring coldly straight into mine.

00:08:03Kale! You're awake!

00:08:06Kale stared deadplack, raising a hand to snap his jaw back into place with a dry crack.

00:08:11Get off me.

00:08:15I scrambled away immediately.

00:08:17The pill worked magic.

00:08:18His black blood stopped flowing within seconds.

00:08:21Pushing himself up, his tunic slipped to reveal a scarred, muscular chest.

00:08:26You were dying!

00:08:27I only removed your tunic to check the wound.

00:08:30Besides, we're engaged. It's not like I haven't seen it before.

00:08:32Do that again, and I'll slit your throat.

00:08:35I breathed a sigh of relief.

00:08:37Classic tough guy ocean lord.

00:08:38Suddenly, my heart violently constricted.

00:08:41A wave of bone-chilling frost erupted from my veins, turning my blood to ice.

00:08:49White mist escaped my lips.

00:08:54What's wrong with you?

00:08:56Father! She touched your siren venom when wiping your chest!

00:09:00Pure survival instinct took over.

00:09:02Craving warmth, I lunged forward, throwing my arms around Kale's neck.

00:09:05Let go, human.

00:09:06Sharp black claws suddenly extended from his fingertips, pressing against my throat.

00:09:11Father! Mommy just kissed you, and she said she wants to die for you!

00:09:16She... what?

00:09:18Kale...

00:09:19Don't leave me.

00:09:22For a long moment, the rager-sharp claws hanging above my throat slowly retracted.

00:09:28Kale's fingers awkwardly sinking into my damp hair.

00:09:31Troublesome human.

00:09:32I don't die that easily.

00:09:34He scoffed, voice laced with panic.

00:09:36Lifting my freezing hand, he spotted the black mark on my finger.

00:09:40Stupid girl.

00:09:41He muttered, lowering his head.

00:09:43Taking my finger into his mouth, his warm tongue wrapped around the wound, metinemolously sucking out the venom into his

00:09:49own body.

00:09:52It was the best sleep I'd had since arriving in this abyss.

00:09:55When I blinked open my eyes, the icy venom was gone, but terror instantly struck.

00:10:00My face was pressed against a cold, muscular chest.

00:10:03My arms locked around Kale's waist.

00:10:05I snapped my head up, straight into a pair of bloodshot golden eyes.

00:10:09Enjoying the hug?

00:10:12Kale's raspy voice rasped.

00:10:14He hadn't slept a wink.

00:10:18Kale, you're fully healed?

00:10:22Kale gave me a chilling look, flexed his numb arm, and pulled on his dark tunic.

00:10:29Where are you going?

00:10:33To hunt.

00:10:35He spit coldly, vanishing into the abyss.

00:10:38So that's why he left every day.

00:10:41In this ruthless siren territory, it was kill or be killed.

00:10:44To survive, he had to keep hunting the wild, oceanic beasts.

00:10:48This place was a lethal battleground.

00:10:50I had to find a way out.

00:10:52While Kale was gone, Lucien stayed behind.

00:10:54Seeing the kid shivering from the cold left behind by the venom, I coaxed him over, wrapping him in my

00:10:59dry coat and feeding him the rest of the canned meat.

00:11:01As I gently combed his dark hair, I tried to gather intel.

00:11:05Lucien, can humans really never survive in the ocean without Kale?

00:11:08Lucien looked up with pure trust, pulling out a glowing blue orb, the siren's pearl.

00:11:13Mommy, if a human swallows this, you can breathe underwater, swim freely, and ignore deep sea pressure forever.

00:11:20My ticket to freedom.

00:11:21Suddenly, a faint, familiar voice echoed outside.

00:11:25Lucien, come out.

00:11:28Father's back!

00:11:29He eagerly swam toward the grand entrance.

00:11:33I froze, remembering Kale's icy warning.

00:11:36Do not step outside this palace when I'm gone.

00:11:39Wait, Lucien!

00:11:43Mommy! Help me!

00:11:46Hands shook, the cold siren's pearl resting in my palm.

00:11:50Chasing after him as a helpless human meant instant death.

00:11:53Fleeing meant leaving the kid to be defoured.

00:11:56Damn it!

00:12:06Swallowing the siren royal pearl, the suffocating pressure vanished.

00:12:10I swam out with all my strength.

00:12:12In the gloom ahead stood a dark siren.

00:12:15His eyes glowed a deadly crimson.

00:12:17Gross, slimy tentacles sprouted from his back, pinching Lucien tightly in the air.

00:12:24Mommy!

00:12:25Let him go!

00:12:27Ignoring the danger, I lunged forward and threw my arms around Lucien, using my body to shield

00:12:31the terrified boy.

00:12:32A sharp rock cut my cheek.

00:12:34As a single drop of my blood diffused into the icy seawater, dozens of crimson eyes instantly

00:12:38alighted in the surrounding darkness.

00:12:40The dark siren's breath hitched.

00:12:42He frantically condensed the blood with his magic and swallowed it whole, his eyes flaring

00:12:46with primal madness.

00:12:47The perfect human catalyst, mine for the taking!

00:12:53The tentacles squeezed tight, crushing my ribs and forcing all the air from my lungs.

00:12:58I hugged Lucien tightly, choking in agony as darkness edged my vision.

00:13:02Father!

00:13:04Save us!

00:13:07Don't bother screaming.

00:13:09He's trapped in a deadly ambush.

00:13:11He isn't coming back.

00:13:13My heart sank into ice.

00:13:16What?

00:13:17What happened to Kale?

00:13:20He's being ripped apart by scavengers.

00:13:23Your sovereign blood could instantly restore his royal powers and let him reclaim the sea

00:13:27throne.

00:13:28Yet that fool refused to touch a single hair on you!

00:13:32My mind went completely blank.

00:13:34What?

00:13:35Instead of eating you, he dragged you around like a target, fighting off endless sea monsters

00:13:40day and night just to keep you alive!

00:13:42Since he's dying anyway, I'll devour you and his precious son instead!

00:13:48Who did you say you're going to devour us?

00:14:03I fell into the hands of the most ruthless siren in the deep sea.

00:14:07I survived by lying to his face, convincing him I was his fiancée.

00:14:12The good news, I'm alive, and the monster Kang has a five-year-old son who calls me mommy.

00:14:17Mother!

00:14:23Then his enemies find out the truth, and they want me and the kid dead.

00:14:29Now the only thing standing between me and the abyss is the one secret he can never know.

00:14:34The submarine's engine had exploded, dragging me down into the forbidden trench beneath the

00:14:38sea court.

00:14:39The water was pitch black.

00:14:40My suit was destroyed.

00:14:42I should have been drowning.

00:14:50A lot of blood.

00:14:51A tall, terrifying figure glided out of the darkness.

00:14:54Black scales rippled over his chest, his blue eyes cold and lifeless.

00:15:04Your blood will wake the power sleeping inside me.

00:15:09You can't kill me!

00:15:13I'm your fiancée.

00:15:15Everything went dead silent.

00:15:19What do you mean by that?

00:15:21My mind raced.

00:15:58Father, she's lying!

00:16:00I froze.

00:16:01A little boy swam out of the shadows.

00:16:03He had dark hair and icy golden eyes, looking like a mini-replica of the Lethal Prince.

00:16:07A glowing blue pearl flowed above his tiny palm.

00:16:11Let's verify it.

00:16:12Before I could run, he grabbed my wrist.

00:16:14A searing wave of heat shot through my veins.

00:16:28The kid saw straight through me.

00:16:29I closed my eyes, waiting for the claws to tear me apart.

00:16:33I think she's my mommy!

00:16:41Before I could process what happened, Kale's massive tail whipped around my waist, yanking

00:16:46me down into the freezing darkness of the deep abyss.

00:16:50Lucian swam effortlessly beside us.

00:19:42A faint, unexpected flush of red spread across the sea prince's cheeks.

00:19:46He jolted, shoving me away as he retreated to the palace doors.

00:19:49Foolish human! Do not think I will fall for your words so easily!

00:19:52With that, he fled into the dark waters.

00:19:57I sat back on the coral throne, wiped my fake tears, and snit it.

00:20:02He actually blushed.

00:20:04Outside, the terrifying siren lord leaned against the marble pillar,

00:20:08the tips of his pointed ears burning red.

00:20:13Lucian, she might actually be my mate.

00:20:15What do I do?

00:20:16She looked at me like she wanted to eat me alive.

00:20:23Over the next few days, Kyle barely showed up.

00:20:25He only returned to toss me looted human canned food in pretty dresses,

00:20:29then vanished back into the deep.

00:20:31I felt like a stray pet.

00:20:34Luckily, Lucian sneak over daily,

00:20:36his golden eyes sparkling as he munched on spam.

00:20:40My heart softened, but I kept my focus.

00:20:44Lucian, is there a secret pathway back to the surface?

00:20:47Before he could answer, the water outside churred violently.

00:20:50Kale staggered in, dropped a tin of tuna into my lap,

00:20:53and collapsed onto the stone floor.

00:20:54Kale!

00:20:56Pulling aside his blood-soaked toque,

00:20:58I sucked in a breath.

00:20:59A bone-deep wound gabed across his chest,

00:21:02oozing black, venomous blood.

00:21:03Outside, dozens of scrimmin' eyes glided in the dark,

00:21:06scavenger monsters smelling weakness.

00:21:08Gritting my teeth, I dragged him onto the giant cab bed.

00:21:11I tore a strip from my dress.

00:21:13Then I hastily wiped the black blood from his wound.

00:21:16Lucian! Medicine!

00:21:17Lucian swam frantically to a shelf

00:21:19and grabbed a black healing pill,

00:21:20handing it straight to me.

00:21:21I tried to force it into Kale's mouth,

00:21:23but his jaw was locked tight in unconsciousness.

00:21:25Mommy! Pass him the pill with your mouth.

00:21:27Give father CPR or a kiss.

00:21:29You've watched too many human movies.

00:21:30If my hands can't pry it open, how will a kiss work?

00:21:33True love's kiss cures everything.

00:21:35Fine. Why argue with a five-year-old?

00:21:37I straddled Kale's hips and forcibly pried at his jaw.

00:21:40Kale! You can't die! If you die, I'm doomed!

00:21:42Oh, mommy is dying for love.

00:21:43If father dies, she won't live either.

00:21:47I accidentally popped Kale's jaw right out of place.

00:21:52At that exact moment,

00:21:54those icy golden eyes slowly opened,

00:21:56staring coldly straight into mine.

00:22:02Kale! You're awake!

00:22:05Kale stared deadplack,

00:22:07raising a hand to snap his jaw back into place with a dry crack.

00:22:10Get off me.

00:22:14I scrambled away immediately.

00:22:16The pill worked magic.

00:22:17His black blood stopped flowing within seconds.

00:22:20Pushing himself up,

00:22:22his tunic slipped to reveal a scarred, muscular chest.

00:22:25You were dying.

00:22:26I only removed your tunic to check the wound.

00:22:29Besides, we're engaged.

00:22:30It's not like I haven't seen it before.

00:22:31Do that again,

00:22:32and I'll slit your throat.

00:22:33I breathed a sigh of relief.

00:22:35I breathed a sigh of relief.

00:22:36Classic tough guy ocean lord.

00:22:37Suddenly, my heart violently constricted.

00:22:40A wave of bone-chilling frost erupted from my veins,

00:22:44turning my blood to ice.

00:22:48White mist escaped my lips.

00:22:53What's wrong with you?

00:22:55Father!

00:22:56She touched your siren venom when wiping your chest!

00:22:59Pure survival instinct took over.

00:23:01Craving warmth,

00:23:01I lunged forward,

00:23:02throwing my arms around Kale's neck.

00:23:04Let go, human.

00:23:05Sharp black claws suddenly extended from his fingertips,

00:23:09pressing against my throat.

00:23:10Father!

00:23:11Mommy just kissed you,

00:23:13and she said she wants to die for you!

00:23:15She...

00:23:15What?

00:23:17Kale...

00:23:18Don't leave me.

00:23:21For a long moment,

00:23:22the rager-sharp claws hanging above my throat slowly retracted,

00:23:26Kale's fingers awkwardly sinking into my damp hair.

00:23:30Troublesome human.

00:23:31I don't die that easily.

00:23:33He scoffed,

00:23:34voice laced with panic.

00:23:35Lifting my freezing hand,

00:23:36he spotted the black mark on my finger.

00:23:39Stupid girl.

00:23:40He muttered,

00:23:41lowering his head,

00:23:42taking my finger into his mouth,

00:23:43his warm tongue wrapped around the wound,

00:23:46metinimalously sucking out the venom into his own body.

00:23:50It was the best sleep I'd had since arriving in this abyss.

00:23:54When I blinked open my eyes,

00:23:55the icy venom was gone,

00:23:57but terror instantly struck.

00:23:59My face was pressed against a cold, muscular chest.

00:24:01My arms locked around Kale's waist.

00:24:04I snapped my head up,

00:24:05straight into a pair of bloodshot golden eyes.

00:24:08Enjoying the hug?

00:24:10Kale's raspy voice rasped.

00:24:12He hadn't slept a wink.

00:24:17Kale,

00:24:18you're fully healed?

00:24:21Kale gave me a chilling look,

00:24:23flexed his numb arm,

00:24:24and pulled on his dark tunic.

00:24:28Where are you going?

00:24:31To hunt.

00:24:34He spit coldly,

00:24:36vanishing into the abyss.

00:24:37So that's why he left every day.

00:24:40In this ruthless siren territory,

00:24:42it was kill or be killed.

00:24:43To survive,

00:24:44he had to keep hunting the wild,

00:24:46oceanic beasts.

00:24:47This place was a lethal battleground.

00:24:49I had to find a way out.

00:24:51While Kale was gone,

00:24:52Lucien stayed behind.

00:24:53Seeing the kid shivering from the cold left behind by the venom,

00:24:56I coaxed him over,

00:24:57wrapping him in my dry coat,

00:24:58and feeding him the rest of the canned meat.

00:25:00As I gently combed his dark hair,

00:25:02I tried to gather intel.

00:25:04Lucien,

00:25:04can humans really never survive in the ocean without Kale?

00:25:07Lucien looked up with pure trust,

00:25:09pulling out a glowing blue orb,

00:25:11the siren's pearl.

00:25:11Mommy,

00:25:13if a human swallows this,

00:25:15you can breathe underwater,

00:25:16swim freely,

00:25:17and ignore deep sea pressure forever.

00:25:19My ticket to freedom.

00:25:20Suddenly,

00:25:21a faint,

00:25:22familiar voice echoed outside.

00:25:23Lucien,

00:25:24come out.

00:25:27Father's back!

00:25:28He eagerly swam toward the grand entrance.

00:25:31I froze,

00:25:33remembering Kale's icy warning.

00:25:35Do not step outside this palace when I'm gone.

00:25:38Wait, Lucien!

00:25:41Mommy!

00:25:43Help me!

00:25:45Hands shook,

00:25:46the cold siren's pearl resting in my palm.

00:25:49Chasing after him as a helpless human meant instant death.

00:25:52Fleeing meant leaving the kid to be defoured.

00:25:55Damn it!

00:26:05Swallowing the siren royal pearl,

00:26:07the suffocating pressure vanished.

00:26:09I swam out with all my strength.

00:26:10In the gloom ahead stood a dark siren.

00:26:13His eyes glowed a deadly crimson.

00:26:16Gross,

00:26:17slimy tentacles sprouted from his back,

00:26:19pinching Lucien tightly in the air.

00:26:22Mommy!

00:26:24Let him go!

00:26:26Ignoring the danger,

00:26:27I lunged forward and threw my arms around Lucien,

00:26:29using my body to shield the terrified boy.

00:26:31A sharp rock cut my cheek.

00:26:32As a single drop of my blood diffused into the icy sea water,

00:26:35dozens of crimson eyes instantly alighted in the surrounding darkness.

00:26:39The dark siren's breath hitched.

00:26:40He frantically condensed the blood with his magic and swallowed it whole,

00:26:44his eyes flaring with primal madness.

00:26:46The perfect human catalyst.

00:26:48Mine for the taking!

00:26:51The tentacles squeezed tight,

00:26:54crushing my ribs and forcing all the air from my lungs.

00:26:56I hugged Lucien tightly, choking in agony as darkness edged my vision.

00:27:01Father!

00:27:02Save us!

00:27:05Don't bother screaming.

00:27:08He's trapped in a deadly ambush.

00:27:10He isn't coming back.

00:27:12My heart sank into ice.

00:27:15What?

00:27:15What happened to Kale?

00:27:19He's being ripped apart by scavengers.

00:27:21Your sovereign blood could instantly restore his royal powers

00:27:25and let him reclaim the sea throne.

00:27:27Yet that fool refused to touch a single hair on you!

00:27:31My mind went completely blank.

00:27:33What?

00:27:34Instead of eating you,

00:27:35he dragged you around like a target,

00:27:37fighting off endless sea monsters day and night

00:27:40just to keep you alive!

00:27:41Since he's dying anyway,

00:27:43I'll devour you and his precious son instead!

00:27:47Who did you say you're going to devour us?!

00:28:02I fell into the hands of the most ruthless siren in the deep sea.

00:28:06I survived by lying to his face,

00:28:07convincing him I was his fiancé.

00:28:10The good news,

00:28:12I'm alive.

00:28:13And the monster Kang has a five-year-old son who calls me Mommy.

00:28:16Mother!

00:28:17The bad news,

00:28:18he despises liars.

00:28:19Everyone who's ever lied to him has been eaten.

00:28:22Then his enemies find out the truth,

00:28:24and they want me and the kid dead.

00:28:28Now the only thing standing between me and the abyss

00:28:30is the one secret he can never know.

00:28:33The submarine's engine had exploded,

00:28:35dragging me down into the forbidden trench beneath the sea court.

00:28:38The water was pitch black.

00:28:39My suit was destroyed.

00:28:40I should have been drowning.

00:28:41A perfect catalyst.

00:28:44A perfect catalyst.

00:28:44Oxygen suddenly filled my lungs.

00:28:45I was breathing underwater.

00:28:47Then I smelled blood.

00:28:48A lot of blood.

00:28:49A tall, terrifying figure glided out of the darkness.

00:28:53Black scales rippled over his chest,

00:28:55his blue eyes cold and lifeless.

00:29:03Your blood will wake the power sleeping inside me.

00:29:08You can't kill me!

00:29:12I'm your fiancé.

00:29:14Everything went dead silent.

00:29:18What do you mean by that?

00:29:19My mind raced.

00:29:21I'd taken the right gamble.

00:29:22I'd read the classified oceanographic files before the dive.

00:29:25They mentioned an ancient siren kingdom beneath this trench.

00:29:28The files warned that sirens were utterly ruthless,

00:29:30except to their mates,

00:29:31whom they protected with violent devotion.

00:29:33A mysterious high-energy blast in these waters last year

00:29:36had wiped the memories of every creature down here.

00:29:38If he was one of them,

00:29:39I could bullshit my way out of this.

00:29:41I came looking for you.

00:29:43I wiped away tears,

00:29:45spinning the saddest love story possible.

00:29:50We've been engaged since we were kids.

00:29:52After your accident, you lost your memory,

00:29:54but I never stopped searching for you.

00:29:57Father!

00:29:57She's lying!

00:29:59I froze.

00:30:00A little boy swam out of the shadows.

00:30:01He had dark hair and icy golden eyes,

00:30:04looking like a mini-replica of the Lethal Prince.

00:30:06A glowing blue pearl flowed above his tiny palm.

00:30:09Let's verify it.

00:30:11Before I could run,

00:30:12he grabbed my wrist.

00:30:13A searing wave of heat shot through my veins.

00:30:15A silver-blue mark lit up my skin

00:30:17like a crescent moon under the sea.

00:30:20Lucian?

00:30:22Father, she is not your fiancée.

00:30:25My heart stopped.

00:30:26Game over.

00:30:26The kid saw straight through me.

00:30:28I closed my eyes,

00:30:29waiting for the claws to tear me apart.

00:30:32I think she's my mommy!

00:30:40Before I could process what happened,

00:30:42Kale's massive tail whipped around my waist,

00:30:45yanking me down into the freezing darkness of the deep abyss.

00:30:48Lucian swam effortlessly beside us.

00:30:52Shapes moved inside the dark coral walls,

00:30:55jagged teeth and glowing eyes watching me like I was a fresh meal.

00:30:58The second Kale swept past,

00:31:00every shadow recoiled in sheer terror.

00:31:02Goosebumps erupted over my skin.

00:31:04The moment Kale's tail loosened,

00:31:06I panicked and grabbed onto his bare waist for safety.

00:31:08He paused.

00:31:09But surprisingly,

00:31:10he didn't shake me off.

00:31:12Instead,

00:31:12he dragged us straight into a forgotten,

00:31:14abandoned palace deep in the abyss.

00:31:17Taking one cautious step,

00:31:18I kicked a heavy golden trunk

00:31:20and lost my balance.

00:31:27You can't see?

00:31:30Did I seriously father an heir with a night-blind woman?

00:31:33My mouth twitched,

00:31:34but I looked right toward his voice.

00:31:37I can't see in the dark,

00:31:39yet you still insisted on marrying me.

00:31:41That only proves one thing.

00:31:43You used to love me more than life itself.

00:31:46A suffocating silence fell over the grand hall.

00:31:51Father,

00:31:52did you really love mommy that much?

00:31:57Lucien, shut up.

00:31:58Fearing I had pushed my luck too far,

00:32:00I quickly changed my tune.

00:32:01Give me a little light and I can see fine.

00:32:04Kale flicked his fingers.

00:32:05The entire pitch black palace

00:32:07was instantly bathed in a breathtaking,

00:32:08dreamlike azu glow.

00:32:10I let out a long breath,

00:32:11turned to the lethal siren,

00:32:12and gave him my warmest smile.

00:32:14Since you don't remember the past,

00:32:16let's start over.

00:32:17My name is Elena.

00:32:20Kale.

00:32:23Obviously,

00:32:23he didn't fully buy my story.

00:32:25I had no powers

00:32:26and zero chance of surviving

00:32:27this monster-infested ocean floor on my own.

00:32:29To stay alive,

00:32:30I had to chain myself to him and his kid.

00:32:32Kale's unblinking golden eyes

00:32:33stared right through me.

00:32:35You claim to be my fiancé.

00:32:36Where is the proof?

00:32:37I reached for the pendant around my neck,

00:32:39a worn silver half-moon shell.

00:32:40I'd been wearing it

00:32:41when they rushed me to the hospital

00:32:42after the last dive accident.

00:32:43I had no idea where it came from,

00:32:44but that didn't stop me

00:32:45from making up a story on the spot.

00:32:47This was your promise token to me.

00:32:50You have the other half.

00:32:52When the two moonshells join,

00:32:54they form the royal crest.

00:32:55It means we can never be parted.

00:33:01Then why do I not have it?

00:33:03You were caught in that terrible explosion.

00:33:05My voice trembled perfectly

00:33:07as I forced tears into my eyes.

00:33:11Even if you lost it in the chaos,

00:33:13it doesn't matter.

00:33:14As long as you're alive,

00:33:15that's enough for me.

00:33:16I closed the distance

00:33:17and pressed myself against his rock-hard chest,

00:33:20striking right at his heart.

00:33:21You never used to look at me so coldly.

00:33:23I whispered,

00:33:24resting my hand over his pounding pulse.

00:33:26You used to say I was your greatest treasure,

00:33:29that if I called you husband,

00:33:30you would give your life for me.

00:33:37Our bond can't just disappear, right?

00:33:41A faint, unexpected flush of red

00:33:43spread across the Sea Prince's cheeks.

00:33:45He jolted,

00:33:45shoving me away

00:33:46as he retreated to the palace doors.

00:33:48Foolish human!

00:33:49Do not think I will fall for your words so easily!

00:33:51With that,

00:33:52he fled into the dark waters.

00:33:56I sat back on the Coral Throne,

00:33:58wiped my fake tears,

00:33:59and snit it.

00:34:01He actually blushed.

00:34:03Outside,

00:34:03the terrifying Siren Lord

00:34:05leaned against the marble pillar,

00:34:07the tips of his pointed ears burning red.

00:34:12Lucian,

00:34:12she might actually be my mate.

00:34:14What do I do?

00:34:15She looked at me like she wanted to eat me alive.

00:34:21Over the next few days,

00:34:23Kyle barely showed up.

00:34:24He only returned to toss me

00:34:26looted human canned food

00:34:27and pretty dresses,

00:34:28then vanished back into the deep.

00:34:30I felt like a stray pet.

00:34:32Luckily,

00:34:33Lucian sneaked over daily,

00:34:35his golden eyes sparkling

00:34:37as he munched on spam.

00:34:39My heart softened,

00:34:40but I kept my focus.

00:34:43Lucian,

00:34:43is there a secret pathway

00:34:45back to the surface?

00:34:46Before he could answer,

00:34:47the water outside

00:34:48churned violently.

00:34:49Kale staggered in,

00:34:50dropped a tin of tuna

00:34:51into my lap,

00:34:51and collapsed onto the stone floor.

00:34:53Kale!

00:34:55Pulling aside his blood-soaked toque,

00:34:57I sucked in a breath.

00:34:58A bone-deep wound

00:34:59gabed across his chest,

00:35:00oozing black, venomous blood.

00:35:02Outside,

00:35:03dozens of scrimmin' eyes

00:35:04ignited in the dark,

00:35:05scavenger monsters

00:35:06smelling weakness.

00:35:07Gritting my teeth,

00:35:08I dragged him onto

00:35:09the giant cab bed.

00:35:10I tore a strip from my dress.

00:35:12Then I hastily wiped

00:35:13the black blood from his wound.

00:35:14Lucian!

00:35:15Medicine!

00:35:16Lucian swam frantically

00:35:17to a shelf

00:35:17and grabbed a black healing pill,

00:35:19handing it straight to me.

00:35:20I tried to force it

00:35:21into Kale's mouth,

00:35:22but his jaw was locked tight

00:35:23in unconsciousness.

00:35:24Mommy!

00:35:24Pass him the pill

00:35:25with your mouth.

00:35:26Give father CPR or a kiss.

00:35:27You've watched

00:35:28too many human movies.

00:35:29If my hands can't pry it open,

00:35:31how will a kiss work?

00:35:32True love's kiss

00:35:33cures everything.

00:35:34Fine.

00:35:34Why argue with a five-year-old?

00:35:36I straddled Kale's hips

00:35:37and forcibly pried at his jaw.

00:35:38Kale!

00:35:39You can't die!

00:35:39If you die, I'm doomed!

00:35:40Oh!

00:35:41Mommy is dying for love.

00:35:42If father dies,

00:35:43she won't live either!

00:35:45I accidentally popped

00:35:47Kale's jaw right out of place.

00:35:51At that exact moment,

00:35:52those icy golden eyes

00:35:54slowly opened,

00:35:55staring coldly

00:35:56straight into mine.

00:36:00Kale!

00:36:01You're awake!

00:36:04Kale stared dead plaque,

00:36:06raising a hand

00:36:06to snap his jaw

00:36:07back into place

00:36:08with a dry crack.

00:36:09Get off me.

00:36:12I scrambled away immediately.

00:36:14The pill worked magic.

00:36:16His black blood

00:36:16stopped flowing

00:36:17within seconds.

00:36:19Pushing himself up,

00:36:20his tunic slipped

00:36:21to reveal a scarred,

00:36:22muscular chest.

00:36:24You were dying!

00:36:25I only removed your tunic

00:36:26to check the wound.

00:36:27Besides, we're engaged.

00:36:28It's not like

00:36:29I haven't seen it before.

00:36:30Do that again,

00:36:31and I'll slit your throat.

00:36:32I breathed a sigh of relief.

00:36:34Classic tough guy

00:36:35Ocean Lord.

00:36:36Suddenly,

00:36:37my heart violently constricted.

00:36:39A wave of bone-chilling frost

00:36:41erupted from my veins,

00:36:43turning my blood to ice.

00:36:47White mist escaped my lips.

00:36:52What's wrong with you?

00:36:54Father!

00:36:55She touched your siren venom

00:36:56when wiping your chest!

00:36:57Pure survival instinct took over.

00:36:59Craving warmth,

00:37:00I lunged forward,

00:37:01throwing my arms

00:37:02around Kale's neck.

00:37:03Let go, human.

00:37:04Sharp black claws

00:37:05suddenly extended

00:37:06from his fingertips,

00:37:07pressing against my throat.

00:37:09Father!

00:37:10Mommy just kissed you,

00:37:11and she said she wants

00:37:12to die for you!

00:37:13She...

00:37:14What?

00:37:15Kale...

00:37:16Don't leave me.

00:37:19For a long moment,

00:37:21the rager-sharp claws

00:37:22hanging above my throat

00:37:23slowly retracted,

00:37:25Kale's fingers awkwardly

00:37:27sinking into my damp hair.

00:37:29Troublesome human.

00:37:30I don't die that easily.

00:37:32He scoffed,

00:37:32voice laced with panic.

00:37:34Lifting my freezing hand,

00:37:35he spotted the black mark

00:37:37on my finger.

00:37:37Stupid girl.

00:37:39He muttered,

00:37:40lowering his head,

00:37:41taking my finger

00:37:41into his mouth,

00:37:42his warm tongue

00:37:43wrapped around the wound,

00:37:44metinimally sucking out

00:37:46the venom

00:37:46into his own body.

00:37:49It was the best sleep

00:37:50I'd had since arriving

00:37:52in this abyss.

00:37:52When I blinked open

00:37:53my eyes,

00:37:54the icy venom was gone,

00:37:56but terror instantly struck.

00:37:57My face was pressed

00:37:58against a cold,

00:37:59muscular chest.

00:38:00My arms locked

00:38:01around Kale's waist.

00:38:02I snapped my head up,

00:38:04straight into a pair

00:38:05of bloodshot golden eyes.

00:38:07Enjoying the hug?

00:38:09Kale's raspy voice rasped.

00:38:11He hadn't slept a wink.

00:38:15Kale,

00:38:16you're fully healed?

00:38:20Kale gave me

00:38:21a chilling look,

00:38:22flexed his numb arm

00:38:23and pulled on

00:38:24his dark tunic.

00:38:27Where are you going?

00:38:30To hunt.

00:38:33He spit coldly,

00:38:35vanishing into the abyss.

00:38:36So that's why

00:38:37he left every day.

00:38:38In this ruthless

00:38:39siren territory,

00:38:40it was kill or be killed.

00:38:42To survive,

00:38:43he had to keep hunting

00:38:44the wild oceanic beasts.

00:38:46This place was

00:38:46a lethal battleground.

00:38:48I had to find a way out.

00:38:49While Kale was gone,

00:38:51Lucien stayed behind.

00:38:52Seeing the kid

00:38:53shivering from the cold

00:38:53left behind by the venom,

00:38:55I coaxed him over,

00:38:56wrapping him in my dry coat

00:38:57and feeding him

00:38:58the rest of the canned meat.

00:38:59As I gently combed

00:39:00his dark hair,

00:39:01I tried to gather intel.

00:39:02Lucien,

00:39:03can humans really never

00:39:04survive in the ocean

00:39:05without Kale?

00:39:06Lucien looked up

00:39:07with pure trust,

00:39:08pulling out a glowing

00:39:08blue orb,

00:39:09the siren's pearl.

00:39:11Mommy,

00:39:12if a human

00:39:12swallows this,

00:39:13you can breathe

00:39:14underwater,

00:39:15swim freely,

00:39:15and ignore deep sea

00:39:16pressure forever.

00:39:17My ticket to freedom.

00:39:19Suddenly,

00:39:20a faint,

00:39:20familiar voice

00:39:21echoed outside.

00:39:22Lucien,

00:39:23come out.

00:39:25Father's back!

00:39:27He eagerly swam

00:39:28toward the grand entrance.

00:39:30I froze,

00:39:31remembering Kale's

00:39:33icy warning.

00:39:34Do not step outside

00:39:35this palace

00:39:36when I'm gone.

00:39:36Wait,

00:39:37Lucien!

00:39:40Mommy!

00:39:41Help me!

00:39:44Hands shook,

00:39:45the cold siren's pearl

00:39:46resting in my palm.

00:39:48Chasing after him

00:39:49as a helpless human

00:39:50meant instant death.

00:39:51Fleeing meant

00:39:51leaving the kid

00:39:52to be defoured.

00:39:53Damn it!

00:40:04Swallowing the siren

00:40:05royal pearl,

00:40:06the suffocating

00:40:06pressure vanished.

00:40:07I swam out

00:40:08with all my strength.

00:40:10In the gloom ahead

00:40:11stood a dark siren.

00:40:12His eyes glowed

00:40:13a deadly crimson.

00:40:15Gross,

00:40:16slimy tentacles

00:40:16sprouted from his back,

00:40:18pinching Lucien

00:40:18tightly in the air.

00:40:21Mommy!

00:40:23Let him go!

00:40:25Ignoring the danger,

00:40:26I lunged forward

00:40:26and threw my arms

00:40:27around Lucien,

00:40:28using my body

00:40:28to shield the terrified boy.

00:40:30A sharp rock

00:40:30cut my cheek.

00:40:31As a single drop

00:40:32of my blood

00:40:32diffused into

00:40:33the icy seawater,

00:40:34dozens of crimson eyes

00:40:35instantly alighted

00:40:36in the surrounding darkness.

00:40:37The dark siren's breath

00:40:38hitched.

00:40:39He frantically

00:40:40condensed the blood

00:40:41with his magic

00:40:41and swallowed it whole,

00:40:43his eyes flaring

00:40:43with primal madness.

00:40:45The perfect human catalyst.

00:40:47Mine for the taking!

00:40:50The tentacles

00:40:51squeezed tight,

00:40:52crushing my ribs

00:40:53and forcing all the air

00:40:55from my lungs.

00:40:55I hugged Lucien tightly,

00:40:57choking in agony

00:40:58as darkness

00:40:59edged my vision.

00:41:00Father!

00:41:01Save us!

00:41:04Don't bother screaming.

00:41:06He's trapped

00:41:07in a deadly ambush.

00:41:09He isn't coming back.

00:41:11My heart sank

00:41:12into ice.

00:41:13What?

00:41:14What happened

00:41:15to Kale?

00:41:17He's being ripped apart

00:41:19by scavengers.

00:41:20Your sovereign blood

00:41:21could instantly restore

00:41:22his royal powers

00:41:23and let him reclaim

00:41:24the sea throne.

00:41:26Yet that fool

00:41:27refused to touch

00:41:28a single hair on you!

00:41:29My mind went

00:41:31completely blank.

00:41:32What?

00:41:33Instead of eating you,

00:41:34he dragged you around

00:41:35like a target,

00:41:36fighting off endless

00:41:37sea monsters day and night

00:41:38just to keep you alive!

00:41:40Since he's dying anyway,

00:41:42I'll devour you

00:41:43and his precious son instead!

00:41:45Who did you say

00:41:47you're going

00:41:47to devour?

00:42:00I fell into the hands

00:42:02of the most ruthless

00:42:03siren in the deep sea.

00:42:04I survived by lying

00:42:05to his face,

00:42:06convincing him

00:42:07I was his fiancé.

00:42:09The good news,

00:42:10I'm alive,

00:42:11and the monster king

00:42:12has a five-year-old son

00:42:14who calls me mommy.

00:42:15Mother!

00:42:16The bad news,

00:42:16he despises liars.

00:42:18Everyone who's ever

00:42:19lied to him

00:42:19has been eaten.

00:42:20Then his enemies

00:42:21find out the truth,

00:42:22and they want me

00:42:24and the kid dead.

00:42:26Now the only thing

00:42:27standing between me

00:42:28and the abyss

00:42:29is the one secret

00:42:30he can never know.

00:42:31The submarine's engine

00:42:32had exploded,

00:42:33dragging me down

00:42:34into the forbidden trench

00:42:35beneath the sea court.

00:42:36The water was pitch black.

00:42:38My suit was destroyed.

00:42:39I should have been drowning.

00:42:41A perfect catalyst.

00:42:42Oxygen suddenly filled my lungs.

00:42:44I was breathing underwater.

00:42:46Then I smelled blood.

00:42:47A lot of blood.

00:42:48A tall, terrifying figure

00:42:50glided out of the darkness.

00:42:52Black scales rippled

00:42:53over his chest,

00:42:54his blue eyes cold

00:42:55and lifeless.

00:43:02Your blood

00:43:02will wake the power

00:43:04sleeping inside me.

00:43:07You can't kill me!

00:43:11I'm your fiancé.

00:43:13Everything went dead silent.

00:43:17What do you mean by that?

00:43:18My mind raced.

00:43:19I'd taken the right gamble.

00:43:21I'd read the classified

00:43:22oceanographic files

00:43:23before the dive.

00:43:24They mentioned

00:43:24an ancient siren kingdom

00:43:25beneath this trench.

00:43:26The files warned

00:43:27that sirens

00:43:28were utterly ruthless.

00:43:29Except to their mates,

00:43:30whom they protected

00:43:31with violent devotion.

00:43:32A mysterious high energy

00:43:33blast in these waters

00:43:34last year

00:43:35had wiped the memories

00:43:36of every creature down here.

00:43:37If he was one of them,

00:43:38I could bullshit

00:43:39my way out of this.

00:43:40I came looking for you.

00:43:42I wiped away tears,

00:43:43spinning the saddest

00:43:45love story possible.

00:43:48We've been engaged

00:43:49since we were kids.

00:43:51After your accident,

00:43:52you lost your memory.

00:43:53But I never stopped

00:43:54searching for you.

00:43:55Father,

00:43:56she's lying.

00:43:58I froze.

00:43:59A little boy

00:43:59swam out of the shadows.

00:44:00He had dark hair

00:44:01and icy golden eyes,

00:44:03looking like a mini replica

00:44:04of the lethal prince.

00:44:05A glowing blue pearl

00:44:06flowed above his tiny palm.

00:44:08Let's verify it.

00:44:10Before I could run,

00:44:11he grabbed my wrist.

00:44:12A searing wave of heat

00:44:13shot through my veins.

00:44:14A silver blue mark

00:44:15lit up my skin

00:44:16like a crescent moon

00:44:17under the sea.

00:44:19Lucien?

00:44:21Father,

00:44:22she is not your fiancé.

00:44:24My heart stopped.

00:44:25Game over.

00:44:25The kids saw

00:44:26straight through me.

00:44:27I closed my eyes,

00:44:28waiting for the claws

00:44:29to tear me apart.

00:44:31I think she's my mommy.

00:44:39Before I could process

00:44:40what happened,

00:44:41Kale's massive tail

00:44:42whipped around my waist,

00:44:43yanking me down

00:44:44into the freezing darkness

00:44:46of the deep abyss.

00:44:47Lucien swam effortlessly

00:44:49beside us.

00:44:51Shapes moved inside

00:44:52the dark coral walls,

00:44:53jagged teeth and glowing eyes

00:44:55watching me like I was

00:44:56a fresh meal.

00:44:57The second Kale swept past,

00:44:59every shadow recoiled

00:45:00in sheer terror.

00:45:01Goosebumps erupted

00:45:02over my skin.

00:45:03The moment Kale's tail loosened,

00:45:05I panicked and grabbed

00:45:05onto his bare waist

00:45:06for safety.

00:45:07He paused,

00:45:08but surprisingly,

00:45:09he didn't shake me off.

00:45:10Instead, he dragged us

00:45:12straight into a forgotten,

00:45:13abandoned palace

00:45:13deep in the abyss.

00:45:16Taking one cautious step,

00:45:17I kicked a heavy golden trunk

00:45:18and lost my balance.

00:45:20Ah!

00:45:26You can't see?

00:45:29Did I seriously father an heir

00:45:30with a night-blind woman?

00:45:32My mouth twitched,

00:45:33but I looked right

00:45:33toward his voice.

00:45:36I can't see in the dark,

00:45:38yet you still insisted

00:45:39on marrying me.

00:45:40That only proves one thing.

00:45:42You used to love me

00:45:43more than life itself.

00:45:45A suffocating silence

00:45:46fell over the grand hall.

00:45:50Father,

00:45:51did you really love

00:45:52Mommy that much?

00:45:55Lucien, shut up.

00:45:57Fearing I had pushed

00:45:58my luck too far,

00:45:59I quickly changed my tune.

00:46:00Give me a little light

00:46:01and I can see fine.

00:46:02Kale flicked his fingers.

00:46:04The entire pitch-black palace

00:46:05was instantly bathed

00:46:06in a breathtaking,

00:46:07dreamlike azul glow.

00:46:08I let out a long breath,

00:46:10turned to the lethal siren

00:46:11and gave him my warmest smile.

00:46:13Since you don't remember the past,

00:46:14let's start over.

00:46:16My name is Elena.

00:46:19Kale.

00:46:21Obviously,

00:46:22he didn't fully buy my story.

00:46:24I had no powers

00:46:25and zero chance

00:46:25of surviving this monster-infested

00:46:27ocean floor on my own.

00:46:28To stay alive,

00:46:29I had to chain myself

00:46:30to him and his kid.

00:46:31Kale's unblinking golden eyes

00:46:32stared right through me.

00:46:33You claim to be my fiancé.

00:46:35Where is the proof?

00:46:36I reached for the pendant

00:46:37around my neck,

00:46:37a worn silver half-moon shell.

00:46:39I'd been wearing it

00:46:40when they rushed me to the hospital

00:46:40after the last dive accident.

00:46:42I had no idea

00:46:42where it came from,

00:46:43but that didn't stop me

00:46:44from making up a story

00:46:45on the spot.

00:46:46This was your promise

00:46:47token to me.

00:46:49You have the other half.

00:46:51When the two moonshells join,

00:46:53they form the royal crest.

00:46:54It means we can never be parted.

00:47:00Then why do I not have it?

00:47:01You were caught

00:47:02in that terrible explosion.

00:47:04My voice trembled

00:47:05perfectly

00:47:06as I forced tears

00:47:07into my eyes.

00:47:10Even if you lost it

00:47:11in the chaos,

00:47:11it doesn't matter.

00:47:12As long as you're alive,

00:47:14that's enough for me.

00:47:15I closed the distance

00:47:16and pressed myself

00:47:17against his rock-hard chest,

00:47:18striking right at his heart.

00:47:20You never used to look

00:47:21at me so coldly,

00:47:22I whispered,

00:47:23resting my hand

00:47:24over his pounding pulse.

00:47:25You used to say

00:47:26I was your greatest treasure,

00:47:27that if I called you husband,

00:47:29you would give your life for me.

00:47:35Our bond can't just disappear,

00:47:37right?

00:47:39A faint,

00:47:40unexpected flush of red

00:47:42spread across the sea prince's cheeks.

00:47:43He jolted,

00:47:44shoving me away

00:47:45as he retreated

00:47:45to the palace doors.

00:47:46Foolish human!

00:47:47Do not think I will fall

00:47:48for your words so easily!

00:47:50With that,

00:47:51he fled into the dark waters.

00:47:55I sat back on the coral throne,

00:47:56wiped my fake tears,

00:47:58and snit it.

00:48:00He actually blushed.

00:48:02Outside,

00:48:02the terrifying siren lord

00:48:04leaned against the marble pillar,

00:48:05the tips of his pointed ears

00:48:07burning red.

00:48:10Lucian,

00:48:11she might actually be my mate.

00:48:13What do I do?

00:48:14She looked at me

00:48:15like she wanted to eat me alive.

00:48:20Over the next few days,

00:48:22Kyle barely showed up.

00:48:23He only returned

00:48:24to toss me looted

00:48:25human canned food

00:48:26and pretty dresses,

00:48:27then vanished back

00:48:28into the deep.

00:48:29I felt like a stray pet.

00:48:31Luckily,

00:48:32Lucian sneak over daily,

00:48:34his golden eyes sparkling

00:48:35as he munched on spam.

00:48:38My heart softened,

00:48:39but I kept my focus.

00:48:41Lucian,

00:48:42is there a secret pathway

00:48:44back to the surface?

00:48:45Before he could answer,

00:48:46the water outside

00:48:46churred violently.

00:48:48Kale staggered in,

00:48:49dropped a tin of tuna

00:48:49into my lap

00:48:50and collapsed

00:48:51onto the stone floor.

00:48:52Kale!

00:48:54Pulling aside

00:48:55his blood-soaked toque,

00:48:56I sucked in a breath.

00:48:57A bone-deep wound

00:48:58gabed across his chest,

00:48:59oozing black,

00:49:00venomous blood.

00:49:01Outside,

00:49:01dozens of scrimmin' eyes

00:49:03ignited in the dark,

00:49:04scavenger monsters

00:49:05smelling weakness.

00:49:06Gritting my teeth,

00:49:07I dragged him

00:49:07onto the giant cab bed.

00:49:09I tore a strip

00:49:10from my dress.

00:49:11Then I hastily wiped

00:49:12the black blood

00:49:12from his wound.

00:49:13Lucian,

00:49:14medicine!

00:49:14Lucian swam frantically

00:49:16to a shelf

00:49:16and grabbed

00:49:17a black healing pill,

00:49:18handing it straight to me.

00:49:19I tried to force it

00:49:19into Kale's mouth,

00:49:20but his jaw

00:49:21was locked tight

00:49:21in unconsciousness.

00:49:22Mommy,

00:49:23pass him the pill

00:49:24with your mouth.

00:49:25Give father CPR

00:49:25or a kiss.

00:49:26You've watched

00:49:27too many human movies.

00:49:28If my hands

00:49:29can't pry it open,

00:49:29how will a kiss work?

00:49:31True love's kiss

00:49:31cures everything.

00:49:33Fine.

00:49:33Why argue

00:49:34with a five-year-old?

00:49:35I straddled Kale's hips

00:49:36and forcibly pried

00:49:36at his jaw.

00:49:37Kale!

00:49:37You can't die!

00:49:38If you die,

00:49:39I'm doomed!

00:49:39Oh,

00:49:40Mommy is dying for love.

00:49:41If father dies,

00:49:42she won't live either.

00:49:44I accidentally popped

00:49:46Kale's jaw

00:49:46right out of place.

00:49:49At that exact moment,

00:49:51those icy golden eyes

00:49:52slowly opened,

00:49:53staring coldly

00:49:54straight into mine.

00:49:59Kale!

00:50:00You're awake!

00:50:03Kale stared dead plaque,

00:50:04raising a hand

00:50:05to snap his jaw

00:50:06back into place

00:50:07with a dry crack.

00:50:08Get off me.

00:50:11I scrambled away

00:50:12immediately.

00:50:13The pill worked magic.

00:50:14His black blood

00:50:15stopped flowing

00:50:16within seconds.

00:50:18Pushing himself up,

00:50:19his tunic slipped

00:50:20to reveal a scarred,

00:50:21muscular chest.

00:50:22You were dying!

00:50:24I only removed

00:50:24your tunic

00:50:25to check the wound.

00:50:26Besides,

00:50:27we're engaged.

00:50:27It's not like

00:50:28I haven't seen it before.

00:50:29Do that again,

00:50:30and I'll slit your throat.

00:50:31I breathed

00:50:32a sigh of relief.

00:50:33Classic tough guy

00:50:34ocean lord.

00:50:35Suddenly,

00:50:35my heart

00:50:36violently constricted.

00:50:37A wave

00:50:39of bone-chilling

00:50:39frost erupted

00:50:40from my veins,

00:50:42turning my blood

00:50:43to ice.

00:50:46White mist

00:50:47escaped my lips.

00:50:50What's wrong

00:50:51with you?

00:50:53Father!

00:50:54She touched

00:50:54your siren venom

00:50:55when wiping

00:50:55your chest!

00:50:56Pure survival

00:50:57instinct took over.

00:50:58Craving warmth,

00:50:59I lunged forward,

00:51:00throwing my arms

00:51:00around Kale's neck.

00:51:02Let go, human.

00:51:03Sharp black claws

00:51:04suddenly extended

00:51:05from his fingertips,

00:51:06pressing against

00:51:07my throat.

00:51:08Father!

00:51:09Mommy just kissed you,

00:51:10and she said

00:51:11she wants to die for you!

00:51:12She...

00:51:13What?

00:51:14Kale...

00:51:15Don't leave me.

00:51:18For a long moment,

00:51:20the rager-sharp claws

00:51:21hanging above my throat

00:51:22slowly retracted,

00:51:24Kale's fingers

00:51:25awkwardly sinking

00:51:26into my damp hair.

00:51:28Troublesome human.

00:51:29I don't die that easily.

00:51:30He scoffed,

00:51:31voice laced with panic.

00:51:32Lifting my freezing hand,

00:51:34he spotted the black mark

00:51:35on my finger.

00:51:36Stupid girl.

00:51:37He muttered,

00:51:38lowering his head,

00:51:39taking my finger

00:51:40into his mouth,

00:51:41his warm tongue

00:51:42wrapped around the wound,

00:51:43metinimalously sucking out

00:51:44the venom

00:51:45into his own body.

00:51:48It was the best sleep

00:51:49I'd had since arriving

00:51:50in this abyss.

00:51:51When I blinked open

00:51:52my eyes,

00:51:53the icy venom was gone,

00:51:54but terror

00:51:55instantly struck.

00:51:56My face was pressed

00:51:57against a cold,

00:51:58muscular chest,

00:51:59my arms locked

00:52:00around Kale's waist.

00:52:01I snapped my head up,

00:52:02straight into a pair

00:52:04of bloodshot golden eyes.

00:52:05Enjoying the hug?

00:52:08Kale's raspy voice

00:52:09rasped.

00:52:10He hadn't slept a wink.

00:52:14Kale,

00:52:15you're fully healed?

00:52:18Kale gave me

00:52:19a chilling look,

00:52:20flexed his numb arm

00:52:22and pulled on

00:52:22his dark tunic.

00:52:25Where are you going?

00:52:29To hunt.

00:52:32He spit coldly,

00:52:33vanishing into the abyss.

00:52:35So that's why

00:52:36he left every day.

00:52:37In this ruthless

00:52:38siren territory,

00:52:39it was kill or be killed.

00:52:41To survive,

00:52:42he had to keep hunting

00:52:42the wild oceanic beasts.

00:52:44This place was

00:52:45a lethal battleground.

00:52:46I had to find a way out.

00:52:48While Kale was gone,

00:52:50Lucien stayed behind.

00:52:51Seeing the kid shivering

00:52:52from the cold

00:52:52left behind by the venom,

00:52:53I coaxed him over,

00:52:55wrapping him in my dry coat

00:52:56and feeding him

00:52:56the rest of the canned meat.

00:52:58As I gently combed

00:52:59his dark hair,

00:53:00I tried to gather intel.

00:53:01Lucien,

00:53:02can humans really never

00:53:03survive in the ocean

00:53:04without Kale?

00:53:05Lucien looked up

00:53:05with pure trust,

00:53:06pulling out a glowing

00:53:07blue orb,

00:53:08the siren's pearl.

00:53:10Mommy,

00:53:11if a human swallows this,

00:53:12you can breathe underwater,

00:53:13swim freely,

00:53:14and ignore deep sea

00:53:15pressure forever.

00:53:16My ticket to freedom.

00:53:18Suddenly,

00:53:18a faint,

00:53:19familiar voice

00:53:20echoed outside.

00:53:21Lucien,

00:53:22come out.

00:53:24Father's back!

00:53:26He eagerly swam

00:53:27toward the grand entrance.

00:53:29I froze,

00:53:30remembering Kale's

00:53:31icy warning.

00:53:32Do not step outside

00:53:34this palace

00:53:34when I'm gone.

00:53:35Wait,

00:53:36Lucien!

00:53:39Mommy!

00:53:40Help me!

00:53:42Hands shook,

00:53:44the cold siren's pearl

00:53:45resting in my palm.

00:53:46Chasing after him

00:53:47as a helpless human

00:53:48meant instant death.

00:53:50Fleeing meant

00:53:50leaving the kid

00:53:51to be defoured.

00:53:52Damn it!

00:54:02swallowing the siren royal pearl,

00:54:04the suffocating pressure

00:54:05vanished.

00:54:06I swam out

00:54:07with all my strength.

00:54:08In the gloom ahead

00:54:10stood a dark siren.

00:54:11His eyes glowed

00:54:12a deadly crimson.

00:54:14Gross,

00:54:14slimy tentacles

00:54:15sprouted from his back,

00:54:16pinching Lucien

00:54:17tightly in the air.

00:54:20Mommy!

00:54:22Let him go!

00:54:23Ignoring the danger,

00:54:24I lunged forward

00:54:25and threw my arms

00:54:26around Lucien,

00:54:27using my body

00:54:27to shield the terrified boy.

00:54:29A sharp rock

00:54:29cut my cheek.

00:54:30As a single drop

00:54:31of my blood

00:54:31diffused into the icy

00:54:32seawater,

00:54:33dozens of crimson eyes

00:54:34instantly alighted

00:54:35in the surrounding darkness.

00:54:36The dark siren's breath

00:54:37hitched.

00:54:38He frantically

00:54:39condensed the blood

00:54:39with his magic

00:54:40and swallowed it whole,

00:54:41his eyes flaring

00:54:42with primal madness.

00:54:43The perfect human catalyst.

00:54:46Mine for the taking!

00:54:49The tentacles

00:54:50squeezed tight,

00:54:51crushing my ribs

00:54:52and forcing all the air

00:54:53from my lungs.

00:54:54I hugged Lucien tightly,

00:54:56choking in agony

00:54:57as darkness

00:54:57edged my vision.

00:54:59Father!

00:55:00Save us!

00:55:03Don't bother screaming.

00:55:05He's trapped

00:55:06in a deadly ambush.

00:55:08He isn't coming back.

00:55:09My heart sank

00:55:10into ice.

00:55:13What happened to Kale?

00:55:16He's being ripped apart

00:55:17by scavengers.

00:55:19Your sovereign blood

00:55:20could instantly restore

00:55:21his royal powers

00:55:22and let him reclaim

00:55:23the sea throne.

00:55:24Yet that fool

00:55:26refused to touch

00:55:27a single hair on you!

00:55:28My mind went

00:55:29completely blank.

00:55:31What?

00:55:31Instead of eating you,

00:55:33he dragged you around

00:55:34like a target,

00:55:35fighting off endless

00:55:36sea monsters

00:55:36day and night

00:55:37just to keep you alive!

00:55:39Since he's dying anyway,

00:55:40I'll devour you

00:55:42and his precious son

00:55:43instead!

00:55:44Who did you say

00:55:45you're going to devour?

00:55:59I fell into the hands

00:56:01of the most ruthless

00:56:02siren in the deep sea.

00:56:03I survived by lying

00:56:04to his face,

00:56:05convincing him

00:56:06I was his fiancée.

00:56:08The good news,

00:56:09I'm alive

00:56:10and the monster

00:56:11Kang has a five-year-old son

00:56:13who calls me mommy.

00:56:14Mother!

00:56:14The bad news,

00:56:15he despises liars.

00:56:17Everyone who's ever

00:56:18lied to him

00:56:18has been eaten.

00:56:19Then his enemies

00:56:20find out the truth

00:56:21and they want me

00:56:22and the kid dead.

00:56:25Now the only thing

00:56:26standing between me

00:56:27and the abyss

00:56:28is the one secret

00:56:29he can never know.

00:56:30The submarine's engine

00:56:31had exploded,

00:56:32dragging me down

00:56:33into the forbidden trench

00:56:34beneath the sea court.

00:56:35The water was pitch black.

00:56:37My suit was destroyed.

00:56:38I should have been drowning.

00:56:39A perfect catalyst.

00:56:41Oxygen suddenly filled my lungs.

00:56:43I was breathing underwater.

00:56:44Then I smelled blood.

00:56:46A lot of blood.

00:56:47A tall, terrifying figure

00:56:49glided out of the darkness.

00:56:50Black scales rippled over his chest,

00:56:52his blue eyes cold and lifeless.

00:57:00Your blood

00:57:01will wake the power

00:57:03sleeping inside me.

00:57:06You can't kill me!

00:57:09I'm your fiancé.

00:57:12Everything went dead silent.

00:57:16What do you mean by that?

00:57:17My mind raced.

00:57:18I'd taken the right gamble.

00:57:19I'd read the classified

00:57:21oceanographic files

00:57:22before the dive.

00:57:23They mentioned an ancient

00:57:23siren kingdom beneath this trench.

00:57:25The files warned that

00:57:26sirens were utterly ruthless,

00:57:28except to their mates,

00:57:29whom they protected

00:57:30with violent devotion.

00:57:31A mysterious high-energy

00:57:32blast in these waters

00:57:33last year

00:57:33had wiped the memories

00:57:35of every creature down here.

00:57:36If he was one of them,

00:57:37I could bullshit my way

00:57:38out of this.

00:57:39I came looking for you.

00:57:40I wiped away tears,

00:57:42spinning the saddest

00:57:43love story possible.

00:57:47We've been engaged

00:57:48since we were kids.

00:57:50After your accident,

00:57:51you lost your memory,

00:57:52but I never stopped

00:57:53searching for you.

00:57:54Father!

00:57:55She's lying!

00:57:56I froze.

00:57:57A little boy

00:57:58swam out of the shadows.

00:57:59He had dark hair

00:58:00and icy golden eyes,

00:58:01looking like a mini-replica

00:58:03of the lethal prince.

00:58:03A glowing blue pearl

00:58:05flowed above his tiny palm.

00:58:07Let's verify it.

00:58:08Before I could run,

00:58:09he grabbed my wrist.

00:58:11A searing wave of heat

00:58:12shot through my veins.

00:58:13A silver-blue mark

00:58:14lit up my skin

00:58:15like a crescent moon

00:58:16under the sea.

00:58:18Lucien?

00:58:19Father!

00:58:20She is not your fiancée!

00:58:22My heart stopped.

00:58:23Game over.

00:58:24The kid saw straight

00:58:25through me.

00:58:25I closed my eyes,

00:58:27waiting for the claws

00:58:27to tear me apart.

00:58:29I think she's my mommy!

00:58:37Before I could process

00:58:38what happened,

00:58:40Kale's massive tail

00:58:41whipped around my waist,

00:58:42yanking me down

00:58:43into the freezing darkness

00:58:44of the deep abyss.

00:58:46Lucien swam effortlessly

00:58:47beside us.

00:58:50Shapes moved inside

00:58:51the dark coral walls,

00:58:52jagged teeth

00:58:53and glowing eyes

00:58:54watching me

00:58:54like I was a fresh meal.

00:58:56The second Kale swept past,

00:58:58every shadow recoiled

00:58:59in sheer terror.

00:59:00Goosebumps erupted

00:59:01over my skin.

00:59:02The moment Kale's tail loosened,

00:59:03I panicked and grabbed

00:59:04onto his bare waist

00:59:05for safety.

00:59:06He paused,

00:59:06but surprisingly,

00:59:07he didn't shake me off.

00:59:09Instead,

00:59:10he dragged us straight

00:59:11into a forgotten,

00:59:11abandoned palace

00:59:12deep in the abyss.

00:59:14Taking one cautious step,

00:59:16I kicked a heavy golden trunk

00:59:17and lost my balance.

00:59:18Ah!

00:59:20Oh!

00:59:24You can't see?

00:59:27Did I seriously father an heir

00:59:29with a night-blind woman?

00:59:30My mouth twitched,

00:59:32but I looked right

00:59:32toward his voice.

00:59:35I can't see in the dark,

00:59:36yet you still insisted

00:59:38on marrying me.

00:59:39That only proves one thing.

00:59:41You used to love me

00:59:42more than life itself.

00:59:43A suffocating silence

00:59:45fell over the grand hall.

00:59:49Father,

00:59:50did you really love

00:59:51Mommy that much?

00:59:54Lucian, shut up.

00:59:56Fearing I had pushed

00:59:56my luck too far,

00:59:57I quickly changed my tune.

00:59:59Give me a little light

01:00:00and I can see fine.

01:00:01Kale flicked his fingers.

01:00:02The entire pitch-black palace

01:00:04was instantly bathed

01:00:05in a breathtaking,

01:00:06dreamlike azu glow.

01:00:07I let out a long breath,

01:00:09turned to the lethal siren

01:00:10and gave him my warmest smile.

01:00:11Since you don't remember the past,

01:00:13let's start over.

01:00:14My name is Elena.

01:00:18Kale.

01:00:20Obviously,

01:00:21he didn't fully buy my story.

01:00:22I had no powers

01:00:23and zero chance

01:00:24of surviving this monster-infested

01:00:26ocean floor on my own.

01:00:27To stay alive,

01:00:28I had to chain myself

01:00:28to him and his kid.

01:00:30Kale's unblinking golden eyes

01:00:31stared right through me.

01:00:32You claim to be my fiancé.

01:00:34Where is the proof?

01:00:35I reached for the pendant

01:00:35around my neck,

01:00:36a worn silver half-moon shell.

01:00:38I'd been wearing it

01:00:38when they rushed me to the hospital

01:00:39after the last dive accident.

01:00:40I had no idea

01:00:41where it came from,

01:00:42but that didn't stop me

01:00:43from making up a story

01:00:43on the spot.

01:00:44This was your promise token to me.

01:00:48You have the other half.

01:00:50When the two moonshells join,

01:00:51they form the royal crest.

01:00:53It means we can never be parted.

01:00:59Then why do I not have it?

01:01:00You were caught

01:01:01in that terrible explosion.

01:01:03My voice trembled perfectly

01:01:04as I forced tears into my eyes.

01:01:08Even if you lost it in the chaos,

01:01:10it doesn't matter.

01:01:11As long as you're alive,

01:01:13that's enough for me.

01:01:14I closed the distance

01:01:15and pressed myself

01:01:16against his rock-hard chest,

01:01:17striking right at his heart.

01:01:18You never used to look at me

01:01:20so coldly.

01:01:21I whispered,

01:01:22resting my hand

01:01:23over his pounding pulse.

01:01:24You used to say

01:01:25I was your greatest treasure,

01:01:26that if I called you husband,

01:01:28you would give your life for me.

01:01:34Our bond can't just disappear, right?

01:01:38A faint, unexpected flush of red

01:01:40spread across the sea prince's cheeks.

01:01:42He jolted,

01:01:43shoving me away

01:01:44as he retreated to the palace doors.

01:01:45Foolish human!

01:01:46Do not think I will fall

01:01:47for your words so easily.

01:01:49With that,

01:01:50he fled into the dark waters.

01:01:53I sat back on the coral throne,

01:01:55wiped my fake tears,

01:01:57and snit it.

01:01:59He actually blushed.

01:02:00Outside,

01:02:01the terrifying siren lord

01:02:02leaned against the marble pillar.

01:02:04The tips of his pointed ears

01:02:06burning red.

01:02:09Lucian,

01:02:10she might actually be my mate.

01:02:12What do I do?

01:02:13She looked at me

01:02:13like she wanted to eat me alive.

01:02:19Over the next few days,

01:02:20Kyle barely showed up.

01:02:22He only returned to toss me

01:02:23looted human canned food

01:02:25in pretty dresses,

01:02:26then vanished back into the deep.

01:02:28I felt like a stray pet.

01:02:30Luckily,

01:02:31Lucian sneaked over daily,

01:02:32his golden eyes sparkling

01:02:34as he munched on spam.

01:02:36My heart softened,

01:02:38but I kept my focus.

01:02:40Lucian,

01:02:41is there a secret pathway

01:02:42back to the surface?

01:02:43Before he could answer,

01:02:45the water outside

01:02:45churred violently.

01:02:46Kale staggered in,

01:02:47dropped a tin of tuna

01:02:48into my lap

01:02:49and collapsed

01:02:49onto the stone floor.

01:02:51Kale!

01:02:53Pulling aside his blood-soaked

01:02:54toque,

01:02:54I sucked in a breath.

01:02:56A bone-deep wound

01:02:57gabed across his chest,

01:02:58oozing black venomous blood.

01:02:59Outside,

01:03:00dozens of scrimmin' eyes

01:03:01ignited in the dark,

01:03:03scavenger monsters

01:03:03smelling weakness.

01:03:05Gritting my teeth,

01:03:05I dragged him

01:03:06onto the giant cab bed.

01:03:07I tore a strip

01:03:08from my dress.

01:03:09Then I hastily wiped

01:03:10the black blood

01:03:11from his wound.

01:03:12Lucian!

01:03:12Medicine!

01:03:13Lucian swam frantically

01:03:14to a shelf

01:03:15and grabbed a black healing pill,

01:03:16handing it straight to me.

01:03:17I tried to force it

01:03:18into Kale's mouth,

01:03:19but his jaw was locked tight

01:03:20in unconsciousness.

01:03:21Mommy!

01:03:22Pass him the pill

01:03:23with your mouth.

01:03:23Give father CPR or a kiss.

01:03:25You've watched

01:03:25too many human movies.

01:03:27If my hands can't pry it open,

01:03:28how will a kiss work?

01:03:29True love's kiss

01:03:30cures everything.

01:03:31Fine.

01:03:32Why argue with a five-year-old?

01:03:33I straddled Kale's hips

01:03:34and forcibly pried

01:03:35at his jaw.

01:03:36Kale!

01:03:36You can't die!

01:03:37If you die, I'm doomed!

01:03:38Oh, mommy is dying for love.

01:03:40If father dies,

01:03:41she won't live either.

01:03:43I accidentally popped

01:03:44Kale's jaw

01:03:45right out of place.

01:03:48At that exact moment,

01:03:50those icy golden eyes

01:03:51slowly opened,

01:03:52staring coldly

01:03:53straight into mine.

01:03:58Kale!

01:03:59You're awake!

01:04:02Kale stared deadplack,

01:04:03raising a hand

01:04:04to snap his jaw

01:04:05back into place

01:04:05with a dry crack.

01:04:06Get off me.

01:04:10I scrambled away immediately.

01:04:12The pill worked magic.

01:04:13His black blood

01:04:14stopped flowing

01:04:15within seconds.

01:04:16Pushing himself up,

01:04:18his tunic slipped

01:04:19to reveal a scarred,

01:04:20muscular chest.

01:04:21You were dying!

01:04:22I only removed your tunic

01:04:24to check the wound.

01:04:25Besides,

01:04:25we're engaged.

01:04:26It's not like

01:04:26I haven't seen it before.

01:04:28Do that again,

01:04:28and I'll slit your throat.

01:04:30I breathed a sigh of relief.

01:04:32Classic tough guy

01:04:32ocean lord.

01:04:33Suddenly,

01:04:34my heart violently

01:04:35constricted.

01:04:36A wave of bone-chilling

01:04:38frost erupted

01:04:39from my veins,

01:04:40turning my blood

01:04:41to ice.

01:04:44white mist

01:04:45escaped my lips.

01:04:49What's wrong with you?

01:04:51Father!

01:04:52She touched your siren venom

01:04:54when wiping your chest!

01:04:55Pure survival instinct

01:04:56took over.

01:04:57Craving warmth,

01:04:58I lunged forward,

01:04:59throwing my arms

01:04:59around Kale's neck.

01:05:00Let go, human.

01:05:02Sharp black claws

01:05:03suddenly extended

01:05:04from his fingertips,

01:05:05pressing against my throat.

01:05:07Father!

01:05:07Mommy just kissed you,

01:05:09and she said

01:05:09she wants to die for you!

01:05:11She...

01:05:11What?

01:05:13Kale...

01:05:14Don't leave me.

01:05:17For a long moment,

01:05:18the rager-sharp claws

01:05:20hanging above my throat

01:05:21slowly retracted,

01:05:23Kale's fingers

01:05:24awkwardly sinking

01:05:24into my damp hair.

01:05:26Troublesome human.

01:05:27I don't die that easily.

01:05:29He scoffed,

01:05:30voice laced with panic.

01:05:31Lifting my freezing hand,

01:05:33he spotted the black mark

01:05:34on my finger.

01:05:35Stupid girl.

01:05:36He muttered,

01:05:37lowering his head,

01:05:38taking my finger

01:05:39into his mouth.

01:05:40His warm tongue

01:05:40wrapped around the wound.

01:05:42Metinimalously sucking out

01:05:43the venom into his own body.

01:05:47It was the best sleep

01:05:48I'd had since arriving

01:05:49in this abyss.

01:05:50When I blinked open my eyes,

01:05:52the icy venom was gone,

01:05:53but terror instantly struck.

01:05:55My face was pressed

01:05:56against a cold,

01:05:57muscular chest.

01:05:58My arms locked

01:05:59around Kale's waist.

01:06:00I snapped my head up,

01:06:01straight into a pair

01:06:02of bloodshot golden eyes.

01:06:04Enjoying the hug?

01:06:07Kale's raspy voice rasped.

01:06:09He hadn't slept a wink.

01:06:13Kale,

01:06:14you're fully healed?

01:06:17Kale gave me

01:06:18a chilling look,

01:06:19flexed his numb arm,

01:06:21and pulled on his dark tunic.

01:06:24Where are you going?

01:06:28To hunt.

01:06:31He spit coldly,

01:06:32vanishing into the abyss.

01:06:34So that's why

01:06:35he left every day.

01:06:36In this ruthless

01:06:37siren territory,

01:06:38it was kill or be killed.

01:06:40To survive,

01:06:40he had to keep hunting

01:06:41the wild oceanic beasts.

01:06:43This place was

01:06:44a lethal battleground.

01:06:45I had to find a way out.

01:06:47While Kale was gone,

01:06:48Lucien stayed behind.

01:06:49Seeing the kid

01:06:50shivering from the cold

01:06:51left behind by the venom,

01:06:52I coaxed him over,

01:06:53wrapping him in my dry coat

01:06:55and feeding him

01:06:55the rest of the canned meat.

01:06:56As I gently combed

01:06:58his dark hair,

01:06:58I tried to gather intel.

01:07:00Lucien,

01:07:01can humans really

01:07:01never survive

01:07:02in the ocean

01:07:03without Kale?

01:07:03Lucien looked up

01:07:04with pure trust,

01:07:05pulling out a glowing

01:07:06blue orb,

01:07:07the siren's pearl.

01:07:09Mommy,

01:07:09if a human swallows this,

01:07:11you can breathe underwater,

01:07:12swim freely,

01:07:13and ignore deep sea

01:07:14pressure forever.

01:07:15My ticket to freedom.

01:07:17Suddenly,

01:07:17a faint,

01:07:18familiar voice

01:07:19echoed outside.

01:07:20Lucien,

01:07:21come out.

01:07:23Father's back!

01:07:24He eagerly swam

01:07:26toward the grand entrance.

01:07:28I froze,

01:07:29remembering Kale's

01:07:30icy warning.

01:07:31Do not step outside

01:07:33this palace

01:07:33when I'm gone.

01:07:34Wait, Lucien!

01:07:38Mommy!

01:07:39Help me!

01:07:41Hands shook,

01:07:42the cold siren's pearl

01:07:44resting in my palm.

01:07:45Chasing after him

01:07:46as a helpless human

01:07:47meant instant death.

01:07:48Fleeing meant

01:07:49leaving the kid

01:07:50to be defoured.

01:07:51Damn it!

01:08:01Swallowing the siren royal pearl,

01:08:03the suffocating pressure vanished.

01:08:05I swam out

01:08:06with all my strength.

01:08:07In the gloom ahead

01:08:08stood a dark siren.

01:08:10His eyes glowed

01:08:11a deadly crimson.

01:08:12Gross,

01:08:13slimy tentacles

01:08:14sprouted from his back,

01:08:15pinching Lucien

01:08:16tightly in the air.

01:08:19Mommy!

01:08:21Let him go!

01:08:22Ignoring the danger,

01:08:23I lunged forward

01:08:24and threw my arms

01:08:25around Lucien,

01:08:25using my body

01:08:26to shield the terrified boy.

01:08:27A sharp rock

01:08:28cut my cheek.

01:08:29As a single drop

01:08:29of my blood

01:08:30diffused into the icy sea water,

01:08:32dozens of crimson eyes

01:08:33instantly alighted

01:08:34in the surrounding darkness.

01:08:35The dark siren's breath

01:08:36hitched.

01:08:37He frantically

01:08:37condensed the blood

01:08:38with his magic

01:08:39and swallowed it whole,

01:08:40his eyes flaring

01:08:41with primal madness.

01:08:42The perfect human catalyst.

01:08:45Mine for the taking!

01:08:48The tentacles

01:08:49squeezed tight,

01:08:50crushing my ribs

01:08:51and forcing all the air

01:08:52from my lungs.

01:08:53I hugged Lucien tightly,

01:08:54choking in agony

01:08:55as darkness

01:08:56edged my vision.

01:08:57Father!

01:08:58Save us!

01:09:02Don't bother screaming.

01:09:04He's trapped

01:09:05in a deadly ambush.

01:09:06He isn't coming back.

01:09:08My heart sank

01:09:09into ice.

01:09:11What?

01:09:12What happened

01:09:13to Kale?

01:09:15He's being ripped apart

01:09:16by scavengers.

01:09:18Your sovereign blood

01:09:19could instantly restore

01:09:20his royal powers

01:09:21and let him reclaim

01:09:22the sea throne.

01:09:23Yet that fool

01:09:24refused to touch

01:09:25a single hair on you!

01:09:27My mind went

01:09:28completely blank.

01:09:29What?

01:09:30Instead of eating you,

01:09:32he dragged you around

01:09:33like a target,

01:09:34fighting off endless

01:09:35sea monsters day and night

01:09:36just to keep you alive!

01:09:37Since he's dying anyway,

01:09:39I'll devour you

01:09:40and his precious son instead!

01:09:43Who did you say

01:09:44you're going

01:09:45to devour us?!

01:09:58I fell into the hands

01:09:59of the most ruthless

01:10:00siren in the deep sea.

01:10:02I survived by lying

01:10:03to his face,

01:10:04convincing him

01:10:05I was his fiancée.

01:10:07The good news,

01:10:08I'm alive,

01:10:09and the monster king

01:10:10has a five-year-old son

01:10:11who calls me mommy.

01:10:12Mother!

01:10:13The bad news,

01:10:14he despises liars.

01:10:16Everyone who's ever

01:10:16lied to him

01:10:17has been eaten.

01:10:18Then his enemies

01:10:19find out the truth,

01:10:20and they want me

01:10:21and the kid dead.

01:10:24Now the only thing

01:10:25standing between me

01:10:26and the abyss

01:10:27is the one secret

01:10:28he can never know.

01:10:29The submarine's engine

01:10:30had exploded,

01:10:31dragging me down

01:10:32into the forbidden trench

01:10:33beneath the sea court.

01:10:34The water was pitch black.

01:10:35My suit was destroyed.

01:10:37I should have been drowning.

01:10:38A perfect catalyst.

01:10:40Oxygen suddenly filled

01:10:41my lungs.

01:10:42I was breathing underwater.

01:10:43Then I smelled blood.

01:10:45A lot of blood.

01:10:46A tall, terrifying figure

01:10:47glided out of the darkness.

01:10:49Black scales rippled

01:10:50over his chest,

01:10:51his blue eyes cold

01:10:52and lifeless.

01:10:59Your blood

01:11:00will wake the power

01:11:02sleeping inside me.

01:11:05You can't kill me!

01:11:08I'm your fiancé.

01:11:10Everything went dead silent.

01:11:14What do you mean by that?

01:11:16My mind raced.

01:11:17I'd taken the right gamble.

01:11:18I'd read the classified

01:11:19oceanographic files

01:11:20before the dive.

01:11:21They mentioned an ancient

01:11:22Siren Kingdom

01:11:23beneath this trench.

01:11:24The files warned

01:11:25that Sirens

01:11:25were utterly ruthless,

01:11:27except to their mates,

01:11:28whom they protected

01:11:28with violent devotion.

01:11:29A mysterious high-energy

01:11:31blast in these waters

01:11:32last year

01:11:32had wiped the memories

01:11:33of every creature

01:11:34down here.

01:11:35If he was one of them,

01:11:36I could bullshit

01:11:36my way out of this.

01:11:38I came looking for you.

01:11:39I wiped away tears,

01:11:41spinning the saddest

01:11:42love story possible.

01:11:46We've been engaged

01:11:47since we were kids.

01:11:48After your accident,

01:11:50you lost your memory,

01:11:50but I never stopped

01:11:51searching for you.

01:11:53Father, she's lying!

01:11:55I froze.

01:11:56A little boy

01:11:57swam out of the shadows.

01:11:58He had dark hair

01:11:59and icy golden eyes,

01:12:00looking like a mini-replica

01:12:01of the Lethal Prince.

01:12:02A glowing blue pearl

01:12:04flowed above his tiny palm.

01:12:06Let's verify it.

01:12:07Before I could run,

01:12:08he grabbed my wrist.

01:12:09A searing wave of heat

01:12:10shot through my veins.

01:12:11A silver-blue mark

01:12:13lit up my skin

01:12:13like a crescent moon

01:12:14under the sea.

01:12:16Lucian?

01:12:18Father,

01:12:19she's not your fiancé.

01:12:21My heart stopped.

01:12:22Game over.

01:12:23The kids saw

01:12:23straight through me.

01:12:24I closed my eyes,

01:12:25waiting for the claws

01:12:26to tear me apart.

01:12:28I think she's my mommy!

01:12:36Before I could process

01:12:37what happened,

01:12:38Kale's massive tail

01:12:39whipped around my waist,

01:12:41yanking me down

01:12:42into the freezing darkness

01:12:43of the deep abyss.

01:12:45Lucian swam effortlessly

01:12:46beside us.

01:12:48Shapes moved inside

01:12:50the dark coral walls,

01:12:51jagged teeth

01:12:52and glowing eyes

01:12:53watching me

01:12:53like I was a fresh meal.

01:12:54The second Kale swept past,

01:12:56every shadow recoiled

01:12:58in sheer terror.

01:12:59Goosebumps erupted

01:12:59over my skin.

01:13:00The moment Kale's tail loosened,

01:13:02I panicked and grabbed

01:13:03onto his bare waist

01:13:04for safety.

01:13:04He paused,

01:13:05but surprisingly,

01:13:06he didn't shake me off.

01:13:08Instead,

01:13:09he dragged us

01:13:09straight into a forgotten,

01:13:10abandoned palace

01:13:11deep in the abyss.

01:13:13Taking one cautious step,

01:13:15I kicked a heavy golden trunk

01:13:16and lost my balance.

01:13:23You can't see?

01:13:26Did I seriously father an heir

01:13:28with a night-blind woman?

01:13:29My mouth twitched,

01:13:30but I looked right

01:13:31toward his voice.

01:13:33I can't see in the dark,

01:13:35yet you still insisted

01:13:37on marrying me.

01:13:38That only proves one thing.

01:13:40You used to love me

01:13:41more than life itself.

01:13:42A suffocating silence

01:13:43fell over the grand hall.

01:13:48Father,

01:13:48did you really love

01:13:50Mommy that much?

01:13:53Lucian, shut up.

01:13:54Fearing I had pushed

01:13:55my luck too far,

01:13:56I quickly changed my tune.

01:13:58Give me a little light

01:13:59and I can see fine.

01:14:00Kale flicked his fingers.

01:14:01The entire pitch-black palace

01:14:03was instantly bathed

01:14:04in a breathtaking,

01:14:05dreamlike azu glow.

01:14:06I let out a long breath,

01:14:08turned to the lethal siren

01:14:09and gave him my warmest smile.

01:14:10Since you don't remember

01:14:11the past,

01:14:12let's start over.

01:14:13My name is Elena.

01:14:16Kale.

01:14:19Obviously,

01:14:19he didn't fully buy my story.

01:14:21I had no powers

01:14:22and zero chance

01:14:23of surviving this monster-infested

01:14:24ocean floor on my own.

01:14:25To stay alive,

01:14:26I had to chain myself

01:14:27to him and his kid.

01:14:28Kale's unblinking golden eyes

01:14:30stared right through me.

01:14:31You claim to be my fiancé.

01:14:32Where is the proof?

01:14:33I reached for the pendant

01:14:34around my neck,

01:14:35a worn silver half-moon shell.

01:14:36I'd been wearing it

01:14:37when they rushed me to the hospital

01:14:38after the last dive accident.

01:14:39I had no idea

01:14:40where it came from,

01:14:40but that didn't stop me

01:14:41from making up a story

01:14:42on the spot.

01:14:43This was your promise token

01:14:45to me.

01:14:47You have the other half.

01:14:48When the two moonshells join,

01:14:50they form the royal crest.

01:14:51It means we can never be parted.

01:14:57Then why do I not have it?

01:14:59You were caught

01:15:00in that terrible explosion.

01:15:02My voice trembled perfectly

01:15:03as I forced tears into my eyes.

01:15:07Even if you lost it in the chaos,

01:15:09it doesn't matter.

01:15:10As long as you're alive,

01:15:11that's enough for me.

01:15:12I closed the distance

01:15:14and pressed myself

01:15:14against his rock-hard chest,

01:15:16striking right at his heart.

01:15:17You never used to look at me

01:15:18so coldly,

01:15:19I whispered,

01:15:21resting my hand

01:15:21over his pounding pulse.

01:15:23You used to say

01:15:24I was your greatest treasure,

01:15:25that if I called you husband,

01:15:27you would give your life for me.

01:15:33Our bond can't just disappear, right?

01:15:37A faint, unexpected flush of red

01:15:39spread across the sea prince's cheeks.

01:15:41He jolted,

01:15:42shoving me away

01:15:42as he retreated

01:15:43to the palace doors.

01:15:44Foolish human!

01:15:45Do not think I will fall

01:15:46for your words so easily!

01:15:48With that,

01:15:48he fled into the dark waters.

01:15:52I sat back on the coral throne,

01:15:54wiped my fake tears,

01:15:55and snit it.

01:15:57He actually blushed.

01:15:59Outside,

01:16:00the terrifying siren lord

01:16:01leaned against the marble pillar,

01:16:03the tips of his pointed ears

01:16:05burning red.

01:16:08Lucian,

01:16:09she might actually be my mate.

01:16:10What do I do?

01:16:11She looked at me

01:16:12like she wanted to eat me alive.

01:16:18Over the next few days,

01:16:19Kyle barely showed up.

01:16:20He only returned

01:16:21to toss me looted

01:16:22human canned food

01:16:23in pretty dresses,

01:16:24then vanished back

01:16:26into the deep.

01:16:26I felt like a stray pet.

01:16:29Luckily,

01:16:29Lucian sneak over daily,

01:16:31his golden eyes

01:16:32sparkling

01:16:33as he munched on spam.

01:16:35My heart softened,

01:16:37but I kept my focus.

01:16:39Lucian,

01:16:40is there a secret pathway

01:16:41back to the surface?

01:16:42Before he could answer,

01:16:43the water outside

01:16:44churred violently.

01:16:45Kale staggered in,

01:16:46dropped a tin of tuna

01:16:47into my lap,

01:16:48and collapsed

01:16:48onto the stone floor.

01:16:49Kale!

01:16:51Pulling aside

01:16:52his blood-soaked toque,

01:16:53I sucked in a breath.

01:16:54A bone-deep wound

01:16:55gabed across his chest,

01:16:57oozing black,

01:16:57venomous blood.

01:16:58Outside,

01:16:59dozens of scrimmin' eyes

01:17:00ignited in the dark,

01:17:01scavenger monsters

01:17:02smelling weakness.

01:17:03Gritting my teeth,

01:17:04I dragged him

01:17:05onto the giant cab bed.

01:17:06I tore a strip

01:17:07from my dress.

01:17:08Then I hastily wiped

01:17:09the black blood

01:17:10from his wound.

01:17:11Lucian!

01:17:11Medicine!

01:17:12Lucian swam frantically

01:17:13to a shelf

01:17:14and grabbed a black

01:17:14healing pill,

01:17:15handing it straight to me.

01:17:16I tried to force it

01:17:17into Kale's mouth,

01:17:18but his jaw was locked

01:17:19tight in unconsciousness.

01:17:20Mommy,

01:17:20pass him the pill

01:17:21with your mouth.

01:17:22Give father CPR

01:17:23or a kiss.

01:17:24You've watched

01:17:24too many human movies.

01:17:25If my hands can't

01:17:26pry it open,

01:17:27how will a kiss work?

01:17:28True love's kiss

01:17:29cures everything.

01:17:30Fine.

01:17:31Why argue

01:17:31with a five-year-old?

01:17:32I straddled Kale's hips

01:17:33and forcibly pried

01:17:34at his jaw.

01:17:35Kale!

01:17:35You can't die!

01:17:36If you die,

01:17:36I'm doomed!

01:17:37Oh,

01:17:37mommy is dying for love.

01:17:38If father dies,

01:17:39she won't live either.

01:17:42I accidentally

01:17:43popped Kale's jaw

01:17:44right out of place.

01:17:47At that exact moment,

01:17:49those icy golden eyes

01:17:50slowly opened,

01:17:51staring coldly

01:17:52straight into mine.

01:17:57Kale!

01:17:57You're awake!

01:18:00Kale stared deadplack,

01:18:02raising a hand

01:18:03to snap his jaw

01:18:03back into place

01:18:04with a dry crack.

01:18:05Get off me.

01:18:09I scrambled away immediately.

01:18:11The pill worked magic.

01:18:12His black blood

01:18:13stopped flowing

01:18:13within seconds.

01:18:15Pushing himself up,

01:18:17his tunic slipped

01:18:17to reveal

01:18:18a scarred,

01:18:19muscular chest.

01:18:20You were dying!

01:18:21I only removed

01:18:22your tunic

01:18:22to check the wound.

01:18:24Besides,

01:18:24we're engaged.

01:18:25It's not like

01:18:25I haven't seen it before.

01:18:26Do that again

01:18:27and I'll slit your throat.

01:18:28I breathed

01:18:29a sigh of relief.

01:18:30Classic tough guy

01:18:31ocean lord.

01:18:32Suddenly,

01:18:33my heart

01:18:33violently constricted.

01:18:35A wave

01:18:36of bone-chilling

01:18:37frost erupted

01:18:38from my veins,

01:18:39turning my blood

01:18:40to ice.

01:18:43White mist

01:18:44escaped my lips.

01:18:48What's wrong

01:18:49with you?

01:18:50Father!

01:18:51She touched

01:18:52your siren venom

01:18:52when wiping

01:18:53your chest!

01:18:54Pure survival

01:18:54instinct took over.

01:18:56Craving warmth,

01:18:56I lunged forward,

01:18:57throwing my arms

01:18:58around Kale's neck.

01:18:59Let go, human.

01:19:01Sharp black claws

01:19:02suddenly extended

01:19:03from his fingertips,

01:19:04pressing against

01:19:04my throat.

01:19:05Father!

01:19:06Mommy just kissed you

01:19:07and she said

01:19:08she wants to die for you!

01:19:10She...

01:19:10What?

01:19:12Kale...

01:19:13Don't leave me.

01:19:16For a long moment,

01:19:17the rager-sharp claws

01:19:18hanging above my throat

01:19:20slowly retracted,

01:19:21Kale's fingers

01:19:22awkwardly sinking

01:19:23into my damp hair.

01:19:25Troublesome human.

01:19:26I don't die that easily.

01:19:28He scoffed,

01:19:29voice laced with panic.

01:19:30Lifting my freezing hand,

01:19:31he spotted the black mark

01:19:33on my finger.

01:19:34Stupid girl.

01:19:35He muttered,

01:19:36lowering his head,

01:19:37taking my finger

01:19:38into his mouth,

01:19:39his warm tongue

01:19:39wrapped around the wound,

01:19:41metinemalously sucking out

01:19:42the venom

01:19:42into his own body.

01:19:45It was the best sleep

01:19:47I'd had since arriving

01:19:48in this abyss.

01:19:49When I blinked open

01:19:50my eyes,

01:19:50the icy venom was gone,

01:19:52but terror instantly struck.

01:19:53My face was pressed

01:19:55against a cold,

01:19:56muscular chest.

01:19:57My arms locked

01:19:57around Kale's waist.

01:19:59I snapped my head up,

01:20:00straight into a pair

01:20:01of bloodshot golden eyes.

01:20:03Enjoying the hug?

01:20:06Kale's raspy voice rasped.

01:20:07He hadn't slept a wink.

01:20:12Kale,

01:20:13you're fully healed?

01:20:16Kale gave me

01:20:17a chilling look,

01:20:18flexed his numb arm

01:20:19and pulled on

01:20:20his dark tunic.

01:20:23Where are you going?

01:20:26To hunt.

01:20:29He spit coldly,

01:20:31vanishing into the abyss.

01:20:33So that's why

01:20:33he left every day.

01:20:35In this ruthless

01:20:36siren territory,

01:20:36it was kill or be killed.

01:20:38To survive,

01:20:39he had to keep hunting

01:20:40the wild oceanic beasts.

01:20:42This place was

01:20:43a lethal battleground.

01:20:44I had to find a way out.

01:20:46While Kale was gone,

01:20:47Lucien stayed behind.

01:20:48Seeing the kid

01:20:49shivering from the cold

01:20:50left behind by the venom,

01:20:51I coaxed him over,

01:20:52wrapping him in my dry coat

01:20:53and feeding him

01:20:54the rest of the canned meat.

01:20:55As I gently combed

01:20:56his dark hair,

01:20:57I tried to gather intel.

01:20:59Lucien,

01:20:59can humans really never

01:21:00survive in the ocean

01:21:01without Kale?

01:21:02Lucien looked up

01:21:03with pure trust,

01:21:04pulling out a glowing

01:21:05blue orb,

01:21:06the siren's pearl.

01:21:07Mommy,

01:21:08if a human swallows this,

01:21:10you can breathe underwater,

01:21:11swim freely,

01:21:12and ignore deep-sea pressure forever.

01:21:14My ticket to freedom.

01:21:15Suddenly,

01:21:16a faint,

01:21:17familiar voice

01:21:17echoed outside.

01:21:18Lucien,

01:21:20come out.

01:21:22Father's back!

01:21:23He eagerly swam

01:21:25toward the grand entrance.

01:21:26I froze,

01:21:28remembering Kale's icy warning.

01:21:30Do not step outside

01:21:31this palace

01:21:32when I'm gone.

01:21:33Wait, Lucien!

01:21:36Mommy!

01:21:38Help me!

01:21:40Hands shook,

01:21:41the cold siren's pearl

01:21:42resting in my palm.

01:21:44Chasing after him

01:21:45as a helpless human

01:21:46meant instant death.

01:21:47Fleeing meant

01:21:48leaving the kid

01:21:48to be defoured.

01:21:50Damn it!

01:22:00Swallowing the siren royal pearl,

01:22:02the suffocating pressure vanished.

01:22:04I swam out

01:22:04with all my strength.

01:22:06In the gloom ahead

01:22:07stood a dark siren.

01:22:09His eyes glowed

01:22:09a deadly crimson.

01:22:11Gross,

01:22:12slimy tentacles

01:22:13sprouted from his back,

01:22:14pinching Lucien

01:22:15tightly in the air.

01:22:17Mommy!

01:22:19Let him go!

01:22:21Ignoring the danger,

01:22:22I lunged forward

01:22:23and threw my arms

01:22:23around Lucien,

01:22:24using my body

01:22:25to shield the terrified boy.

01:22:26A sharp rock

01:22:27cut my cheek.

01:22:27As a single drop

01:22:28of my blood

01:22:29diffused into the icy sea water,

01:22:30dozens of crimson eyes

01:22:32instantly alighted

01:22:32in the surrounding darkness.

01:22:34The dark siren's breath

01:22:35hitched.

01:22:35He frantically condensed

01:22:37the blood with his magic

01:22:38and swallowed it whole,

01:22:39his eyes flaring

01:22:40with primal madness.

01:22:41The perfect human catalyst.

01:22:43Mine for the taking!

01:22:46The tentacles

01:22:48squeezed tight,

01:22:49crushing my ribs

01:22:50and forcing all the air

01:22:51from my lungs.

01:22:52I hugged Lucien tightly,

01:22:53choking in agony

01:22:54as darkness

01:22:55edged my vision.

01:22:56Father!

01:22:57Save us!

01:23:01Don't bother screaming.

01:23:03He's trapped

01:23:04in a deadly ambush.

01:23:05He isn't coming back.

01:23:07My heart sank

01:23:08into ice.

01:23:10What?

01:23:11What happened to Kale?

01:23:13He's being ripped apart

01:23:15by scavengers.

01:23:16Your sovereign blood

01:23:18could instantly restore

01:23:19his royal powers

01:23:20and let him reclaim

01:23:21the sea throne.

01:23:22Yet that fool

01:23:23refused to touch

01:23:24a single hair on you.

01:23:26My mind went

01:23:27completely blank.

01:23:28What?

01:23:29Instead of eating you,

01:23:30he dragged you around

01:23:31like a target,

01:23:32fighting off endless

01:23:33sea monsters

01:23:34day and night

01:23:35just to keep you alive!

01:23:36Since he's dying anyway,

01:23:38I'll devour you

01:23:39and his precious son

01:23:40instead!

01:23:42Who did you say

01:23:43you're going to devour?

01:23:44worth it?

01:23:48All right,

01:23:49I won't move very soon.

01:23:50your new life as advertisers
