Short filmTranscript
00:00Ahead of my lavish nubitals to Lucien, heir apporned of the marcastit, I tried on the crimson gold thread consecrated
00:07bridal cloak.
00:08The garment stirred up fond wedding memories for his sister-in-law who wept her eyes ret soon after.
00:13Lucien then had my consecrated bridal cloak and sun hazo crown it, changed to rose-colored overnight.
00:20The next day he turned up at my estate with sanctonious pretensions to persuade me.
00:24Celestine, no matter what you wear for the wedding, you will still be the future Margare.
00:28Why must you upset my sister-in-law?
00:30Ever since she was titled a consecrated widow, crimson has never again appeared in the Marginga's castle.
00:35Although a bride blessed by the church must wear crimson, rose pink still counts as red, does it not?
00:39I will still acknowledge you as my legitimate, orthodox spouse.
00:42You are the true blood daughter of the Duke of Valamont. You ought to possess noble magnanimity.
00:46Rose pink is also a shade of red?
00:48By that flawed reasoning anyone across the marcastit could lay claim to House Thornfield's lawful heirship.
00:53Being the house's heir appriot Lucien is bound to uphold the noble virtue of mercy.
00:58Lucien opened the chest. The consecrated bridal cloak kept the original design.
01:02Its color was changed to rose pink fabric. This color is only for lesser consorts.
01:06The scene stunned everyone present. Ladies who came for the dower covered their mouth could be seen clearly.
01:11Celestine, I had this bridal wear stitched in an all-night rush just for you. Would you try it on?
01:16Lucien looked at me with a face full of tenness.
01:19I pointed at that ridiculous chest of rose and asked,
01:22This is my bridal gown? A rose-colored secondary bridal gown?
01:26The customs of your house, Thornfield, are utterly absurd.
01:29You had my crimson gold thread consecrated bridal cloak taken away yesterday just to replace it with this.
01:35Why?
01:36Lucien looked somewhat troubled, but slowly spoke.
01:40Celestine, when you were trying on the bridal gown that day, my sister-in-law saw it.
01:44She went back and cried all night. It reminded her of the day she was married, and she was deeply
01:49heartbroken.
01:49My elder brother has passed away, and she is a consecrated widow anointed by the church.
01:54Now the sight has stirred her grief.
01:56You know she has not had it easy, so why must you wear a crimson gown and cause her such
02:00sorrow?
02:01No matter what you wear to marry into the Margarians' castle, I will acknowledge it.
02:05You will still be my future Margesine.
02:07Why must you be so stubborn?
02:09My sister-in-law has suffered much. Just bear with it and yield to her.
02:14All right?
02:17I almost laughed out of sheer anger.
02:20Elwyn had known the two Thornwood brothers since childhood, back when she married into the Margar's castle.
02:25Less than a year after the wedding, Lucien's elder brother died in battle, at the edge of the magical beast
02:30front.
02:31At that time, Elevin threatened to jump off the tower and smash her head against the coffin, set the whole
02:36town chattering with scandal.
02:38The Arpa ship and the Queen were moved by this, and personally titled her, a consecrated widow.
02:44Two years had passed, and she had not missed a single social ball in the royal capital, surrounded by admirers
02:49like the moon surrounded by stars every single time.
02:52One could hear everyone praising her, lauding her chastity and her deep devotion.
02:57How is it that she can revel in banquets and balls outside without a care in the world, yet when
03:02it comes to my wedding, she suddenly plays the part of one overwhelmed by painful memories?
03:07She cannot bear to see crimson?
03:10Could it just be because her husband died, alled in entire the noble kingdom, must play the widow alongside her?
03:16One of the noble ladies could cannot stand it anymore, and spoke up for justice.
03:21Lord Eyre, a noble woman's vows at the High Chapel are everything.
03:25The crimson cloak, the sun halo coronat, that's what makes it real.
03:28A true wife isn't some secondary contort who'd marry a real bride in rows.
03:32The Lord Eyre is marrying a lady of the house, not some shameful mistress.
03:36How dare you humiliate Celeste with a rose-coloured gown?
03:39Exactly.
03:41Does Alonwit know what an orthic consecrated bridal cloak symbolises?
03:44Having it changed to rose-coloured, she must have done it on purpose.
03:47Is your lordship taking a wife, or taking a secondary consort?
03:50Celeste is already suffering such grievances before even entering the castle.
03:53What will happen once she marries in?
03:55Elendon cannot bear to see red.
03:56Why do I find that so hard to believe?
03:58At the last royal banquet, wasn't she and she is the only one allowed to wear it, while others are
04:02forbidden?
04:03The group of noble ladies voiced their indignation, on my behalf.
04:07Besides, it was unheard of for a rightful Marche S to be wed in rose-pink bridal wear.
04:12I slammed the trunk shut with a resounding crash and looked at Lucien.
04:16Your lordship, please take this bridal gown back.
04:18Forgive Selamine, but I cannot wear it.
04:20Lucien anxiously defended himself.
04:22I did not mean to humiliate you, Celestian.
04:24My sister-in-law is truly heartbroken.
04:26Why must you pierce her heart like this?
04:29Rose-pink is also a shade of red, using a rose-colored gown for a grand wedding.
04:34I truly had not heard such a brazen distortion of right and wrong in a long time.
04:38Just as I was about to lash out, a maid led a woman inside.
04:42My lady, the lady of the thorn-wheeled Marjus Castle, is here to visit.
04:46It was Elwyn.
04:47She was clad in somber funeral weeds typical of a widow's garb, standing at the doorway.
04:52At this moment, she looked at Lucien with red eyes, hurried forward to his side, and
04:56said with urgency and heartache,
04:58How could you do this?
04:59If this royal betrothed is ruined because of me, how am I to explain this to the Marjurk
05:02and his lady?
05:03Then, Elwyn looked at me cautiously.
05:05Sister, do not blame Lucien.
05:07He simply aches for me as his sister-in-law.
05:10He did not do it on purpose.
05:11For my sake, please forgive him this once.
05:14Lucien said anxiously.
05:15Your eyes are swollen from crying.
05:17Why did you come here?
05:17Their back-and-forth exchange of mutual concern caused the noble ladies nearby to start whispering
05:23among themselves.
05:24I laughed mockingly.
05:26I am truly unaware of what the rules of House Thornfield are like.
05:29A woman calling her late husband's brother by his given name and so intimately.
05:33If word of this gets out, what might other people think?
05:37After all, a younger brother aching for his widowed sister-in-law so much that he makes
05:41his unwed fiancé wear a rose-colored secondary bridal gown.
05:45I have never heard of such a thing.
05:47As soon as my words fell, the murmurs among the crowd grew louder.
05:51As a widow consecrated by the church, didn't Elwyn always claim the past that she wouldn't
05:56speak a single word to other men?
05:57She calls out to Lucien more intimately than even his own fiancé does.
06:02Who would believe they are entirely innocent?
06:04No wonder Lucien would wrong Celestine for Elwyn's sake.
06:08Celestine is truly unlucky to be marrying into such a family.
06:12What will become of her in the future?
06:14Hearing the gossip, Elowen feels very awkward.
06:18It's not like that.
06:20Enough!
06:21The surroundings fell silent.
06:24Lucien glared at me with ferocious eyes.
06:26Celestine, is this your scheme?
06:28Let these people humiliate Elowen here just to show your displeasure?
06:33To think she was worried about you feeling wronged and came expressly to reason with
06:36me.
06:36And you?
06:37You had people humiliate her here.
06:39Your petty, small-minded streak.
06:42Makes me wonder how you'd treat her once installed at the castle.
06:46I laughed out of sheer fury.
06:48It wasn't enough for you to come to my door alone.
06:51You had to bring Elogen to play the victim.
06:54Could it be that whoever's husband dies becomes invincible and can do whatever they please?
07:00Lucien retorted in exasperation.
07:02Celestine, my sister-in-law is a consecrated widow anointed by the church.
07:06Can you not just take a step back and yield?
07:08You are marrying into Louthornhield and will face each other every day in the future.
07:11If you make things this ridge and unyielding, it will do you no good.
07:15Elowen entered the Marjory's castle before you and she is the most revered person of our
07:19entire family.
07:20Even when you become the lady of the house in the future, it will still be so.
07:23My mind is made up.
07:25Three days from now, at the vows in the high chapel, you can only enter wearing this gown.
07:30A wife ought to obey her husband.
07:32That is the very doctrine set down in the canon of the holy maidens.
07:36And as the true blood daughter of a duke and house, it is high time you studied it.
07:41Properly.
07:42Elowen, standing to the side, said carefully and tendedly.
07:47Sister-in-law, Lucien is only showing consideration for me as his sister-in-law.
07:51After all, as long as one weds the one they love, does the color of the bridal cloak truly
07:55matter?
07:56Sister-in-law?
07:57After speaking, she trailed behind Lucien with practiced fragility as Lucien left the
08:02gates of the ducal estate.
08:04Several noble ladies swarmed around me.
08:07Celeste, you absolutely cannot marry in a rose-colored gown.
08:10It signifies a secondary union.
08:13You cannot willingly lower your status and go from an orthodox lady to a mistress.
08:18Exactly.
08:19I think Lucien and Elowen came here intentionally to humiliate you.
08:22Elowen did it on purpose, wanting you to be reduced to a secondary consort the moment
08:27you enter the castle.
08:28Who knows what she is plotting?
08:31His Majesty the King had bestowed the royal betrothal upon Lucien and me.
08:35After my father passed away, though the Valamont dukery estate still possessed deep foundations,
08:40both my parents, were gone.
08:42Lucien was relying on the fact that my parents were gone, and no one was there to back me
08:46up.
08:47That was why he dared to marry me into his house in such a manner.
08:50I looked at that unbearably offensive chest of rose-colored gowns and smiled mockingly.
08:55Rose pink is also red?
08:56Wants me to have noble magnuity?
08:58I certainly possess the magnuity to tolerate others.
09:00It's just that while I have it, I wonder if Lucien does.
09:06Subsequently, I ordered the elite shadow wardens left to me by my father to carry out a certain
09:12task.
09:14Then, I rode a carriage overnight to seek an audience in the royal palace with Queen Seraphine.
09:19The queen was my maternal aunt.
09:21Since my parents were unable to make it back to the royal capital, it was only right for
09:26my aunt to preside over my marriage.
09:28Three days later, the Valamont Dukial estate was marrying off its daughter, and the house
09:33of the Thornfield Marshaar was receiving the bride.
09:36It was the most aduspicious of days, and all the nobles in the city were watching the spectacle.
09:42However, early that morning at the Margarek's castle…
09:44Your lordship, this is bad!
09:46Our lady seems to have caught a severe chill.
09:48Her body is burning hot right now.
09:50Please go and see her!
09:51Lucien did not even have time to button his groom's main ceremonial assuring before he rushed
09:55anxiously to Elowyn's courtyard.
09:57Elowyn was burning up.
09:58Her face flushed crimson, as she deliriously called out,
10:03Lucien's face changed with panic.
10:05Quick, fetch the royal healers!
10:08Your lordship, the auspicious hour is almost upon us.
10:11You should head to the high chamber to receive the bride.
10:13Lucien rebuked him angrily.
10:15The first lady is this severely ill.
10:16Is her life more important or is the wedding?
10:18Do I need to teach you?
10:19Anyway, this marriage is a royal betrothal.
10:21Selethion has to marry him no matter what.
10:23Go to my Lunger brother's Yernion.
10:25He just led the night order back to capital.
10:27Have him receive the bride in my stead.
10:28Everyone was dumbfounded.
10:30Normally, unless it was a matter of life and death, what groom would not personally go to
10:35the high chapel to receive his bride?
10:38But seeing Lucien merely clipping Elowyn's hand, entirely deaf to another word, the manservant
10:44had no choice but to go to the courtyard of the second son, Garak.
10:47There, the second son of the family, Warden General of the North Garak emerged, already
10:52dressed in the groom's crimson noble main ceremonial attire, followed by a retrain
10:56of escorting knights.
11:00The manservant thought to himself, Lord Garak is truly a good brother.
11:04The heir is too busy to attend, so he immediately stepped out to receive the bride in his stead.
11:09Meanwhile, under Lucien's care, he drank a magic potion and woke up.
11:13Hearing the ceremonial outside and looking at his unbuttoned main ceremonial osseur,
11:17it lays well enough in her eyes.
11:18Lucien, today is your joyous day.
11:20Hurry and go.
11:21My illness is no mater-ness, and you must marry her eventually anyway.
11:24After speaking, tears fell down her face, choking pity in anyone who saw her.
11:29The bride's carriage has arrived!
11:31Elowyn gripped Lucien's velvet cuff tightly, reluctant to let go, yet still said,
11:36You should go.
11:37How could Lucia bear to leave her?
11:39He joiny-wugged her, hugged Ritley housed.
11:42Elowyn, if only I could marry you openly and honorably, I could take care of you forever.
11:48Elowyn let out a low sob.
11:51After tonight, you will be someone else's husband, and we will have no further ties.
11:57Lucien?
11:58Lucien gritted his teeth.
12:00Wait for me.
12:01She enters the castle in a rose-colored gown, and will certainly be the subject of boss of
12:05Sip in noble circles.
12:07When the time comes, I will claim it is only a secondary union.
12:10She will absolutely not outrank you in the family.
12:15I will go out only after the ostrich hour has passed.
12:19Once she enters the Margank's castle, I will have to teach her the rules.
12:23The bells outside rang continuously.
12:26Lucien timed it perfectly.
12:28Once the ostrich hour had passed.
12:30Thank you all for waiting.
12:32At that moment, the archbishop of the high chapel proclaimed loudly,
12:35The sacred nuptial rules are concluded.
12:37The newlyweds may now proceed to the great hall.
12:42Congratulations, welcome to the general.
12:48General Garrick just led his army back to the capital yesterday,
12:51and today he forges a brilliant match.
12:53Truly, good things come in pairs.
12:55The general brings home a beauty today.
12:58What tremendous fortune.
12:59What a wonderful blessing indeed.
13:02Lucien's face had changed color.
13:03He only asked Garrick to help receive the bride.
13:07When did he ever ask him to help take the vows?
13:10Hold on!
13:12He shouted loudly.
13:13His face turning ashen.
13:15Everyone looked over to see him striding into the high chapel,
13:19Suddenly blocking the path before Garriac and me.
13:22Seeing me in an orthodox crimson gold thread,
13:24Consecrated bridal cloak.
13:26Celestine, how dare you make sacred vows with another man?
13:32Where is the bridal gown I sent yesterday?
13:34How did it turn into orthodox crimson?
13:37I told you, to marry into Laos Thornfield,
13:39You can only wear the rose-colored secondary bridal gown I sent.
13:42If you do not follow my orders,
13:44How could you ever be fit to enter our family?
13:46Garrick slapped his hand away.
13:48Brother, today is the day your younger brother takes a wife.
13:51For you the elder brother to dictate what your sister-in-law wears to her wedding?
13:54Lucien stared at him.
13:56It is obviously my wedding today.
13:58What does it have to do with you?
14:00I was the one who went to receive her.
14:02The vows before the Holy Divine were proclaimed by her and me.
14:07Why would it not be my business?
14:09Even the Queen's Privy Warrant has my name written on it.
14:13How is it not my business?
14:15I took Garrick's arm and looked at Lucien with sheer bewilderment.
14:19My dear, why is your elder brother trying to stop our wedding?
14:23Lord Lucien, could it be that caring for your widowed sister-in-law is not enough?
14:27And you must also care for your younger brother's wife?
14:30You claim you are marrying me.
14:32But why is it that the one receiving the bride at the High Chapel today is...
14:37The Warden General of the North?
14:40Lucien was momentarily speechless, then hurriedly explained.
14:44My sister-in-law fell ill today.
14:46I was taking care of her while the royal healers examined her, and I truly couldn't step away.
14:50As soon as she took her potion, she told me to come receive you.
14:53I burst out laughing.
14:55Oh, are all the servants in the Marjix castle made of stone?
14:59The First Lady falls ill still and needs a royal healer who couldn't attend to that?
15:03Why must it be the Lord Hare, who claims to be getting married today, running about doing the chores,
15:09so busy he doesn't even have time to receive his bride?
15:12Aside from you and Elwyn, look at the Lord's present and see if any of them believe that.
15:17Humiliated and enraged, Lucien shouted,
15:19Celestina, just because I asked you to wear a rose-colored gown, you deliberately set a trap for me like
15:23this.
15:23You venomous woman!
15:24You haggle over every detail and possess not a single drop of noble magnivity.
15:28How can you be fit to be the future lady of the Marjixor's estate?
15:33The way everyone looked at him changed.
15:36Exactly.
15:37A widowed sister-in-law falls ill, and a grown man stays by her side like that.
15:41What kind of propriancy is that?
15:43I heard that for the sake of this widowed sister-in-law, he repeatedly demanded the bride bow her head
15:48to him.
15:49Could it be that he and that consecrated widow share some unspeakable secret that violates the church's dogma?
15:56I pulled out a pagement scroll sealed with the royal wax crest.
15:59Whether I am fit to be the lady of the house is not for you to decide.
16:02I can certainly tolerate that sister-in-law of yours, and I can also tolerate the gown you sent.
16:07Speaking of this noble grace and magnonsimity, I only wonder if your lordship possesses it.
16:11A queen's privy warrant, Lucien, heir to Thornweald, has disrespected royal dogma by humiliating a betrothal with a secondary union.
16:18For this blasphemy against the king's grace, he is stripped of his inheritance rights to the Marquistit.
16:23The family's inheritance rights shall be succeeded by the second run, Warden General of the North, Garrick.
16:29The betrothal is transferred to Garrick.
16:31He shall wed Celestine of House Valamont on the original date.
16:34So it is decreed.
16:37As my words fell, Lucien's face and he stumbled backward again and again.
16:41I smiled radiantly.
16:43This noble magnanimity of brotherly harmony.
16:46I do wonder, Lord Lucien, whether you possess even a trace of it.
16:50Lucien stared at the warrant sealed with wax, fell to the ground, and screamed.
16:55How is this possible?
16:57Just because of one trivial matter, the queen strips me of my heir title?
17:01I don't believe it!
17:02I demand you enter the palace!
17:04I will appeal to the royal tribunal!
17:07At that moment, an official dressed in a court warm stepped forward in the chapel.
17:10It was the royal chamberlain of the queen's inner court, recognized by all the nobles present.
17:14Lord Lucien, Lady Sallelt, an audience in the palace overnight to request this warrant,
17:17and she presented that gown symboling a mistress directly for her queen.
17:21His majesty the king was also there at the time.
17:23His majesty flew into a rage the moment he laid eyes on it,
17:26and swore he would never stand for such conduct of a hypocrite bullying the duke's legitimate daughter.
17:30The verdict was not decided by anyone else.
17:32It was the king who gave his personal seal and full authorization for this warrant.
17:36How is it possible?
17:37This is an alliance between two great houses.
17:39How could it be treated so casually?
17:41I am the statutory heir of the marcher!
17:43The nobles finally realized that he had used a rose-colored secondary bridal ground to humiliate me,
17:49and they all looked at him with disdain.
17:51Now that the sacred sacrament is successfully completed,
17:54I must return to the palace to report back to his majesty and her majesty.
17:58Still on the floor, Lucien mumbled.
18:00How is it possible?
18:01A royal betrothal!
18:02How can it be changed just like that?
18:04It's just the color of a bridal gown!
18:07Right at that moment, a maid showed from the West Wool suits came howling into the high chapel
18:11and threw herself to her knees.
18:12Your lordship, please hurry and see the first lady!
18:16She is bleeding from the womb, and the royal healers say she might be having a miscarriage!
18:23All the guests in the chapel turned pale with shock.
18:27Elan Miss Meshering, she was a consecrated widow anointed by the church.
18:31Widowed for two years, dressing plainly and rarely going out,
18:35strictly adhering to dogma,
18:37and never involved with any men outside the family.
18:40How could she be pregnant, and even Miss Meshering?
18:44The news was world-shattering.
18:45The nobles, casting aside their etiquette, rose and surged toward the West Wing suites,
18:51all wanting to witness this inconceivable, heretical scandal with their own eyes.
18:55I held Garak's arm, walking slowly behind the crowd.
19:00It's chaotic with so many people, be careful.
19:02I nodded lightly.
19:04A trace of understanding flashing in my eyes.
19:07The intelligence brought back by the Shadow Warders had proven true.
19:11Inside the West Wing suite,
19:15The heavy stench of blood mixed with the smell of magic potions assaulted our senses.
19:20The woman lying on the bed was indeed the normally dignified, composed, gentle, and graceful Elowan.
19:26Only now, her face flushed with an unnatural redness,
19:30her forehead covered in cold sweat.
19:32Her usually clear and gentle eyes were filled with agony.
19:36Hiding a panic, she could not quite conceal.
19:40Lucien rushed in as well.
19:41He threw himself at the bedside, tightly clapping the woman's hand,
19:45his tone urgent and tinged with a subtle panic.
19:48Elowan, how are you?
19:50You were fine.
19:51How could you suddenly miss Kate?
19:53Did someone plot against you?
19:54The woman opened her eyes weakly,
19:56looking at Lucien as tears streamed down her face.
20:00Her voice was faint and full of grievance.
20:03Lucien, it hurts so much.
20:05I don't know what happened suddenly.
20:07The abdominal pain was unbearable.
20:09I am innocent.
20:10I am a consecrated widow.
20:13How could I possibly be with child?
20:15The healers must have made a mistake.
20:19Her defense triggered a chorus of whispers among the lords and ladies filling the room,
20:24their faces etched with shock and suspicion.
20:26A consecrated wid widow pregnant?
20:28This is an absolute joke.
20:30Widowed for two years and blessed by the church.
20:32How could she possibly be with child?
20:34Could it be that the royal healers lack magical proficiency and misdiagnosed if this is true?
20:39First Lady Elwyn's reputation for chastity is completely ruined.
20:42Seeing her so chast and composed in the past,
20:44strictly adhering to the Maiden's canon in her every word and a leader,
20:47she does not seem like a fallen heretic.
20:50But the royal healers all confirm a miscarriage.
20:52They couldn't just fabricate it out of thin air, could they?
20:56There must be an enormous mystery behind this.
20:59Amid the murmurs,
21:00the chief royal healer stepped out from the inner chamber,
21:03carrying an enchanted medicine box.
21:06He placed a hand over his chest,
21:08bowing to the surrounding nobles,
21:09and stated with absolute certainty,
21:12My lords and ladies,
21:12I have practiced medicine for over 40 years.
21:15I would never miss diagnosis.
21:16The lady on the bed was indeed over two months pregnant.
21:19However, her overwhelming grief and anguish
21:21disrupted the fetus vital pulse,
21:22resulting in a miscarriage.
21:26Two months pregnant?
21:27As the words of confirmation fell,
21:30the room erupted in uproar.
21:32The gazes directed at the woman on the bed
21:34shifted from initial sympathy to scrutiny,
21:37disdain,
21:38and even profound abhormony.
21:40A consecrated widow losing her trastity was a felony,
21:44punishable by burning at the stake,
21:45under church law.
21:47The woman on the bed,
21:49No, I didn't.
21:51I am being framed.
21:52I am truly innocent.
21:54Her defense was pale and powerless.
21:57Everyone merely assumed she was too ashamed to admit it,
22:00showing expressions of contempt.
22:02Just then I stepped forward slowly,
22:04my gaze falling calmly on her face.
22:06My voice was not loud,
22:07but it purred clearly throughout the entire room.
22:09Elevin is a consecrated widow anointed by the church
22:11and maintained her chastish years.
22:13Naturally, she would not be pregnant.
22:14But you?
22:16Are you truly, Elevin?
22:19That single sentence was like a thunder clasp from a clear sky.
22:22The noisy room instantly fell into deathly silence.
22:26Everyone's gazes simultaneously focused on me,
22:29then violently shifted to the woman on the bed,
22:31their faces full of shock and disbelief.
22:34The woman's body stiffened abruptly,
22:36as if pricked by a needle.
22:38All color instantly drained from her face,
22:40turning ashen as paper.
22:42The panic in her eyes could no longer be concealed.
22:45She looked up at me fiercely,
22:46her voice trembling,
22:48laced with a hollow bravado.
22:49What?
22:50What nonsense are you spewing?
22:52If I am not, Elevin, who am I?
22:54I am the true-blood daughter of the Chancellor's House,
22:57the First Lady of the Margag's Castle,
22:59the consecrated widow anointed by the Church.
23:01Cease your wicked lies and stop slanding me!
23:04Slander?
23:05A faint, jockeying smile touched the corners of my lips.
23:08The real Elwyn has a scar at the tail of her left eyebrow,
23:10left from a fall while riding in her youth.
23:12Since childhood, she was tutored by a royal scribe,
23:15and her noble rude hand is elegant and profoundly graceful.
23:17Do you possess either of these two things?
23:21The new rings of Salkainsha sivir the dorsight of her lairth.
23:24The yenda darted in the way,
23:25her mape awakes to her who steens fake the throust.
23:28There was a fall in my youth,
23:30and the scar as long as it had been healed and faded by magic.
23:33Enter my handwriting I have written up for a long time.
23:36Naturally, I've grown rusty.
23:38Faded?
23:38Grown rusty?
23:39I scoffed coldly,
23:40turning to look at Lucian who stood nearby,
23:42his face ashen,
23:43his entire body tense.
23:44Lucian, you and Elwyn have known each other since childhood,
23:47growing up together in aristocratic circles.
23:49Her scar and her unique rune hand?
23:51Could you possibly be unaware of them?
23:52Lucian shuddered,
23:54his face instantly,
23:55his eyes darted away,
23:56unable to meet mine.
23:58Fine cold sweat seeped from his forehead,
24:01and his lips trembled,
24:02but he couldn't utter a single word for the longest time.
24:05Seeing this,
24:06how could the crowd not realize there was treachery afoot?
24:09The gazes cast upon the woman on the bed,
24:12and Lucian,
24:13were instantly filled with suspicion and scrutiny.
24:16I stopped looking at the panic-strucken pair,
24:18and raised my hand to signal.
24:20Two cloaked shadow wardens stepped forward from behind me.
24:23One held a yellowed-paperant scroll,
24:25a formal complaint,
24:26while the other held a purple sandalwood brodge box.
24:31I took the scroll of parchment,
24:33held it high,
24:34and spoke clearly and powerfully.
24:36As early as the day Lucian sent the bridal gown,
24:38I sensed something was in spress.
24:41Lucian and this Elowan interacted inappropriately,
24:44and this Elvin had manners,
24:46knowledge,
24:46and an aura completely different from before she became a consecrated widow.
24:49I spatched the shadow wardens to investigate in secret,
24:52and now,
24:53the truth is fully revealed.
24:55I paused,
24:56slowly recounting the shocking secret that had buried for two years.
24:59Her husband died fighting on the magical beast frontier.
25:01She refused to believe he had fallen,
25:03shutting herself inside the house to grieve endlessly.
25:05He spotted her deep sorrow and resolved to exploit her vulnerability.
25:09He told her he could track down evidence and reveal the full truth of her husband's death.
25:12Elwyn believed Lucian's lies.
25:14She boarded the carriage with him,
25:15filled with sincere gratitude.
25:17The woman who accompanied them on that trip,
25:19is this impostery here.
25:21The crowd listened,
25:22dumbfounded,
25:23turning to the woman on the bed in sheer disbelief.
25:29I continued.
25:30The day they left the territory,
25:32halfway at a post station,
25:33Mira offered Elwyn a bowl of potion.
25:35She knew full well that Elwyn was severely allergic to a certain powder since childhood,
25:39so she secretly added the allergen up and drank it.
25:41Moments later,
25:42she burned up,
25:42her face swelling rapidly,
25:43until her features were indistinguishable,
25:45and she quickly lost consciousness.
25:47Right then Lucian and Mira declared publicly that base-born daughter,
25:50Mila,
25:51had encountered bandits on the road,
25:52had her face disfigured,
25:53and was too ashamed to face her parents.
25:55So Mira volunteered to enter a border monastery for a life of purification.
25:59House Ashcrossed had never valued her,
26:01so they didn't probe further.
26:03Then Lucian and Mira sent Elwyn,
26:05under the name Mira,
26:06to a hidden appy in the southern borders,
26:08dispatching guards to watch her,
26:09utterly erasing her existence from the outside world.
26:13From that day on,
26:14Mira became
26:15the Elwyn.
26:18So that is what happened.
26:19No wonder this First Lady's aura is completely different from the rumors.
26:23They aren't the same person at all.
26:25Lucian and this Mira are absolutely insane.
26:27Daring to commit such monumental fraud,
26:29usurping the identity of a true-blood daughter,
26:31and impersonating a consecrated widow,
26:33it's sheer lawlessness!
26:34The Chancellor's house is far too foolish!
26:36Their true-blood daughter was swapped,
26:38and they remained oblivious for two years,
26:40simply believing Mira went into reclusive due to disfigurement.
26:43How absurd!
26:44I looked at the pale, teetering Lucian,
26:47my tone icy.
26:48Over the past two years,
26:49Lucian relied on the reputation
26:51to win the unanimous greed will of the entire Margetith.
26:53He built up his nightly renown,
26:55cleared away obstacles step by step,
26:56and secured his position as heir.
26:58Meanwhile, he and Mira,
26:59using this facade,
27:00remained together in secret,
27:01with no one daring to suspect a thing.
27:03Originally, their plan was flawless.
27:06It was indeed I to marry into House Thornweald.
27:09I am the true-blood daughter of Duke Valamont,
27:11and once I married into the castle
27:13and took charge of the internal affairs,
27:15their facade would eventually be pierced by me.
