Short filmTranscript
00:03The High General has fallen! Bring aid!
00:13What happened to him?
00:17Kassa, this, the Carmian necklace you love. Forgive me, I cannot stay by your side.
00:23No, no! No, you will not die! Save him! Save him now!
00:27Ruptured inlands. Massive hemorrhage. The General is slipping away.
00:32Please save him! I beg you! I will pay any price!
00:35You are a Princess of Sparta. Your sacred blood can save a warrior's soul.
00:41It matters not. If he lives, my life is his.
00:46Take his hand.
00:55Aristo!
01:0396 times! That half-wit falls for it every time!
01:07She bled half to death for you, Aristo. When she begged on her knees for the blade, did you really
01:11feel nothing?
01:12You forget, my love. I'm only using her to avenge you 99 times. Does this offering please you?
01:18Avenge.
01:19Lyra, you are the General's true love. That wretch Kassa stole your place at the Festival of Aris. Did you
01:24really think he'd let it go?
01:31Lyra?
01:32Aristo, that dance was for you. Did you like it?
01:35I did. I will be your lover.
01:39You mean it really?
01:41So, all a lie from the very beginning?
01:44General, how many times we humiliated our holy maiden. First was when you told her the amulet you forged her
01:50fell into the river.
01:51And that half-wit groped in the freezing river all night. You never even made one. She found a piece
01:56of clay! Wearing it all the time!
01:58Not love. Never love. He claimed me. Only to avenge Lyra.
02:04And when we told her the High General was captured by savages and marked for execution, she didn't even stop
02:09to dress! Ran barefoot for Lyles, begging those savages on her knees for his life!
02:14And the best part? Those barbarians were just the High General's household slaves.
02:19Begging like a beaten dog! I'll take that memory to Hades, I swear it!
02:25Bleeding her out makes 96. Three more humiliations and this little game is done.
02:29After 99, you can finally cast Cass aside and take Lyra as your bride.
02:33Three years of devation, Aristo. Only to be your plaything.
02:39Cassa.
02:41High Priest.
02:41The Prince of Athens invited you to study at their temple. His fleet leaves in three days.
02:47Are you certain to give up such an honor?
02:49I've changed my mind. I will depart with the Athenian fleet in three days.
02:53And Aristio. I remember you rejected the Prince because of the High General.
02:57No. Never again.
03:01Aristo, you lied about forging this for me. I'm a princess, yet you used and abandoned me and now my
03:06heart is burned to ashes.
03:10Cassa! I bled half to death yesterday. You never came to me. Do you still care about me?
03:14Bled half to death? You seem remarkably quick on your feet.
03:17I heard you offered your blood for me, which makes me worried. I come here before finishing my medicine. Does
03:22the wound still hurt?
03:23General, the hunting ground festival is ready. Everyone is waiting at the stables. Since your hand is well come, the
03:30gods spared my life. We ride to the hunting grounds to celebrate.
03:33As you wish. Let's see what cruel charade you play today, Aristio.
03:39Lyra, hunting with another man. What, you fear our general too wounded to handle his reins?
03:44His eyes on the Holy Maiden now. A lowly creature like me dare not intrude. I'll be with any soldier
03:51who will have me.
03:52Enough!
04:03General, is it wise to take me and leave your sweet Cassa in the dust?
04:09Are you gonna stand there gawping all day?
04:13Does the High General always require a pretty on a hunt?
04:16It's normal. Don't read into it.
04:18It's true. Areto and I grew up in the training rings together. He's used to me retrieving his arrows. You
04:24aren't jealous, are you? Then I'll leave you to it.
04:31Forget your little Holy Maiden, General. Look at Lyra. Everyone knows you've been spell wound since the day you caught
04:37her dancing.
04:39Tell us, General. How far have things gone with Lyra? Have you two already...
04:43Watch your tongues. I haven't laid a single finder on her.
04:47Gods, General. Since when do you play a saint? With a siren beside you, you actually held back.
04:51I am saving her maidenhood for our wedding bed.
04:57Listen to him. He honors her so deeply. I'm truly envious.
05:01You know how to protect a woman's honor, Aristo. You just never cared for mine.
05:08Aristo, stop! If the guards see us, my honor is ruined!
05:12You are mine. Who dares to look? A Spartan woman needs no honor. Only obedience.
05:20Enough!
05:22Shut your mouths! Kassa is mine. One more word and I'll cut out your tongues and feed them to the
05:28hounds.
05:28Drop the act, Aristo. Save this devoted look for the next fool.
05:33What's the rush, Kassa? General barely survived his injuries. We're celebrating. You can't leave without sharing one drink.
05:39Right. Stop playing the untouchable saint. Arisio treats you like gold. At least show him a little respect.
05:44I cannot drink.
05:48What is this?
05:49Just take it.
05:51What are you doing? Get your hands off me! I am a princess of Sfarga! Know your place!
05:56Yes!
05:58In Sparta, the High General's word is the law. Drink.
06:10Spooked horses! Scatter!
06:14A wrist drop! Save me!
06:17Get down!
06:28You're finally awake. That much wine nearly killed you.
06:32But I took the pill he gave me.
06:43What pill? This is nothing but a ball of mud.
06:46What?
06:47How could I forget?
06:49His 97th vengeance. And I played right into it.
06:54Your acting is getting better, Aristo.
06:58Kassa! You're awake!
07:06Kassa, you're finally awake.
07:09That mud pill, it was Draco and his men. I had no idea.
07:13I just woke up, and my throat is killing me. What mud pill?
07:25Nothing. Your body is too framel. A sip of wine nearly killed you.
07:30I laid orders for the chief healer to come.
07:35You'll recover soon, alright?
07:3799 acts of revenge. So which one is the real you? The monster who toys with my life? Or this
07:45tender, caring man before me?
07:49Hi, General. Lady Lyra is burning with fever and calling your name. She refuses to take her medicine unless you
07:55come.
07:59Kassa, Lyra is not so well.
08:04Just go.
08:11What happened at the hunt was my fault. I'll just check on her and come right back. It won't be
08:16long.
08:28This is the real you, Aristo. Not just a liar. A twisted bastard.
08:46General, stop thinking about that pathetic holy maiden. Draco and his men went to show her a good time.
08:52It's revenge number 98. Almost over. And I will finally be yours.
09:00What did you just say? Who gave you the nerve to touch her?
09:04Isn't this what you wanted?
09:07You said you'd make her suffer! That she was nothing but a plaything!
09:15Have you lost your minds? I am a holy maiden of Sparta.
09:19Holy maiden? Come dawn, you'll be nothing but a used up whore.
09:23Get her! The General's had his fill for three years. It's our turn to get a tape.
09:30Get off me! Let me go! Help!
09:39Kassa. Kassa, look at me. It's me.
09:50Who gave you right to touch her?
09:53You were the one rushing to finish the 99th vengeance.
09:56To be rid of her so you could wed Lyra. I was just helping.
10:00I never gave you animals permission to defile her!
10:04General, the past humiliations were far worse and you never blinked.
10:08Why the sudden outrage?
10:18General.
10:21Don't tell me you've actually caught feelings.
10:24For the puppet you've been stringing alone.
10:27Absurd! I only feared you idiots would cross the line and ruin my honour!
10:31No way, Thoron. If I were Kassa, I'd want the General's head on a spike.
10:36There is nothing between them.
10:39Enough. Get the hell out of my sight.
10:49No! Get away! Don't touch me!
10:53Kassa! It's me! Aristo!
10:55Get off me, you monsters! Stay away from me!
10:58I've got you. You're safe now. Forgive me, I failed to protect you.
11:02This is all my fault.
11:04I will make amends, Kassa. I'll spend the rest of my life making this right.
11:09Make amends? You lied to me for three years.
11:12Watched me bleed. Watched me lose my mind.
11:15I will never forgive you. Not even if you choked on your blood at my feet.
11:21Princess, a secret letter from the Prince of Athens.
11:28Your Highness, the ship sails in three days. I await you, Helios.
11:33Where do you think you're going?
11:37When Helios visited Spartus three years ago, he almost undressed you with his eyes.
11:42You're mine. How dare he to send you letters?
11:45We haven't spoken since then.
11:47He's just on behalf of Athens, checking in on a fallen Holy Maiden.
11:52You are a Holy Maiden of Spurta, Kassa.
11:54You are not to entangle with foreign men. You understand?
11:58Yes.
11:59Is this another acting of yours, Aristo?
12:01Or are you truly terrified of losing your favorite plaything?
12:05That's my good girl.
12:06Please leave. I'm exhausted.
12:11Okay. Rest up.
12:17The robe threaded with aquamarine I ordered you to forge.
12:20Where do they stand? The finest flax and dooms.
12:23Lady Kassa will outshine every woman in Sparta.
12:25See to it.
12:29General, the grand finale for the 99th Vegeans.
12:33Blindfold and take her to the ruined temple tomorrow.
12:35Leave the rest to us. She's barely clinging to life.
12:38What fresh hell are you scheming now?
12:42What's gotten into you, Arsto?
12:44Yesterday you rushed to save her.
12:46I nearly died.
12:47You took an oath in the temple to avenge me 99 times proving your love to Ares.
12:52Fine.
12:53One last time.
12:55But hear me well, no blood is spilled.
12:58That is the line.
13:00That is the line.
13:10Kassa? How long have you been standing there?
13:13Just stepped out.
13:14I saw Lyra and the people leaving.
13:16Is something wrong?
13:19Nothing.
13:21Tomorrow marks our three years.
13:23I'm taking you beyond the walls.
13:25I have a gift for you.
13:27Wonderful.
13:29I have a grand gift prepared for you too.
13:32You ready for it?
13:38The sacred robe I commissioned for you, Kassa.
13:41Do they please you?
13:42They do.
13:43Three years today since we were bound.
13:46I have a surprise for you at the temple.
13:48Bind your eyes.
13:49No peeking.
13:50I shall strip it myself when we arrive.
14:04Stand right here.
14:05I go to fetch your gift.
14:07I shall return shortly.
14:09Aresto.
14:13Three years ago,
14:14you stood against some drunks who tried to stoil me in the camp.
14:18My heart became irriscibly yours.
14:28Back off!
14:29She is the holy maiden of the royal.
14:31The next man who touches her will have his throat opened.
14:34That's why.
14:35When you agreed to be my lover,
14:37I lay awake the entire night trembling.
14:39I wept and thanked the gods.
14:41I thought myself the most blessed woman in whole Sparta.
14:46Pretty silly, wasn't it?
14:48Wait here.
14:50I eagerly await your gift, Aresto!
15:06Look at it, Blaze!
15:07The general is finally free of that stupid wretch!
15:10I can already picture her on her knees.
15:13Screaming in the fire!
15:14Cry out, Kassa.
15:16Just scream my name and I will tear through the fire for you.
15:21Kassa!
15:22Can you hear me?
15:23Speak to me!
15:32Aristo!
15:33I know this is the 99th vengeance.
15:36I know the past three years were nothing but a Minchin's Farsk to appease Lyra.
15:41Today, I leave you forever.
15:44And I will never forgive.
15:45She knew.
15:47God, she knew everything.
15:51Kassa!
15:53General!
15:54Have you lost your mind?
15:55It's an inferno in there!
15:56Get your hands off me!
15:57I must go save her!
16:03Kassa!
16:08Aristo!
16:09Have you gone mad?
16:10The stones are falling!
16:12You go in there now!
16:13You burn with her!
16:14General!
16:15The oil and timber are fully ablaze!
16:17No one would survive!
16:18Unhand me!
16:20Kassa is still inside!
16:21She is waiting for me!
16:23I have to get her!
16:24Calm yourself!
16:25You are Sparta's High General!
16:27You cannot die for a plaything!
16:28General!
16:29The marble is caving in!
16:30It's suicide!
16:32Back off!
16:32The next man who touches me dies!
16:35The next man who touches me dies!
16:46Kassa...
16:47Hold on...
16:48Who?
16:49Smell the flavour with you!
16:51Find the Holy Medrin!
17:02Forgive me!
17:06I was wrong, Kassa!
17:08I'm done playing games!
17:12Please come out!
17:20No!
17:22How can this be?
17:25How can this be?
17:27How can this be?
17:28By the gods!
17:29How can this...
17:30How?
17:33She was here...
17:35Against my shoulder...
17:38Only yesterday...
17:40Sorry for your loss, High General...
17:41This was all we found from the wreckage...
17:43The High Priest is waiting to receive her...
17:46Lies!
17:46She's only playing a game!
17:50Wake up, Kassa...
17:52Let me make you my wife...
17:55Aristo, stop!
17:56She's gone!
17:57No!
17:58She loves me!
17:59She would never...
17:59Open your eyes!
18:00She chose to burn in silence just to spite you!
18:03You are mourning a heap of ash!
18:05Get off!
18:06All of this!
18:07This is because of you!
18:14Kassa, please.
18:16Come back to me.
18:17I'll give you anything.
18:18Just come back.
18:23Helios, you came to the harbour yourself.
18:25Since the moment I saw you beneath the Spartan altar years ago,
18:29I've counted the days.
18:30You are finally here...
18:32In Athens.
18:34All this is for you.
18:35A princess of Sparta shall find only the highest honours within these walls.
18:39It's over at last, Aristo.
18:40Your cruelty, your petty games...
18:42They all turn to ash in that fire.
18:51By the gods...
18:56What have they done to you?
18:59It's nothing.
19:05Kassa, tell me.
19:06Who did this to you?
19:08It's nothing.
19:10Aristo.
19:11The game is over.
19:25Rising from the ashes demands a price.
19:28It's for leaving treacherous filth behind.
19:33Helios?
19:34You survived the journey to Athens.
19:36I will not have you crippled before you even reach the sanctuary.
19:42Summon the royal healers.
19:43Have them wait in my chambers.
19:46Helios.
19:49Thank me by taking care of yourself.
19:51Do not make me.
19:54Thank the fates you are with me now.
19:56Kassa.
19:57What torment have you endured?
20:00Broken you so?
20:05Find out what happened to Kassa the past three years.
20:09At once, your highness.
20:10If any man has laid a hand on her, he will drown in his own blood.
20:16A sturdy temple doesn't just collapse out of nowhere.
20:20It was in ruins, but not weak enough to just crumble.
20:24Maybe someone set the fire to silence her.
20:27Speak.
20:29Why was the sanctuary soaked in pitch?
20:32Who sawed the support beams?
20:40You meant to kill her.
20:41General, we swear we don't know.
20:43The collapse was an accident.
20:45We only meant to scare her.
20:47We never wanted her to burn.
20:48Aristro, stop.
20:50That temple was ancient.
20:52Accidents have let them go.
20:59Please, General.
21:01Forgive us.
21:02Have mercy, General.
21:04Mercy?
21:06Then go to Hades and beg Kassa for it.
21:09See if she shows you any mercy.
21:13Take them.
21:15Execute them as Spartan deserters.
21:17No!
21:18Aristro!
21:19Please, no!
21:20Aristro!
21:22Kassa want to die.
21:23She chose the flames.
21:25You really gonna execute your friends over a dead woman?
21:28Never speak her name again.
21:36I'm sorry.
21:36My wife's tomb.
21:38Is it prepared to the standard of the Lady of Sparta?
21:40It has been carved into the back mountain, my lord.
21:43Facing the sea.
21:45Wife? The Lady of Sparta?
21:47Aristro, have you lost your mind?
21:49I am the one meant to be your wife!
21:51The only woman I love is Kassa.
21:53It will only ever be her.
21:58Are you crazy?
22:00Kassa was nothing.
22:01She was just a plaything you used to amuse me.
22:04Don't you tell me you actually fell for her?
22:08Kassa?
22:09I thought you were the one I wanted.
22:11But I took the blade every time she got hurt.
22:14I realized Kassa is the only woman I've loved.
22:16And what about me?
22:18I waited three years!
22:19You promised to marry me!
22:21Now you tell me you fell in love with that harlot?
22:24Show some respect to my wife.
22:27Wife?
22:28You told me it was love at first sight!
22:30And now, you love Kassa?
22:32All Sparta is laughing at me now!
22:34She's dead!
22:35Why are you still holding on to her?
22:37Don't you dare touch it!
22:42Guards?
22:44Let me go!
22:45From this day on, without my word,
22:47she will never step in this estate again.
22:49No!
22:51Aresto.
22:53I just made this for you, Arsto.
22:56Have a taste.
23:03Anything you want.
23:05Just come back to me.
23:10Why so much wine again?
23:11You're going to ruin your stomach.
23:17Kansa.
23:21Kansa.
23:29When the temple is finished,
23:31I'll teach our children to dance at the festival.
23:33How does that sound, Aristio?
23:37Kassa.
23:39Since when did all the things you kept here start disappearing?
23:42I'm fond of the sense of Athens lately.
23:47Kansa.
23:47So you knew everything all along.
23:49You've been planning to leave me this whole time.
23:54Your leg is fully healed, Lady Kassa.
23:56You can dance now.
24:00For your services.
24:06The trials for the prima dancer of Athena's temple are in three days.
24:09I believe you are ready to return to the stage.
24:12Thank the gods.
24:13I will begin to prepare instantly.
24:15I'll speak to the high priest now and arrange your training at the temple of Athena.
24:22Did you hear?
24:23Did you hear?
24:23The betrothed of Sparta's high general died.
24:25And he's gone mad.
24:26Hasn't stepped out of his palace in half a month.
24:28Everyone knows.
24:29Word is he actually married her corpse in front of the Altras.
24:31Vowed to stay by her side for eternity.
24:33Such devotion.
24:34Imagine how he must have worshipped her when she was alive.
24:36So envious.
24:37Even in Athens, I can still admire your performance.
24:41Your acting is truly getting better, Aristo.
24:48Kassa, you harlot!
24:49How dare you still sit as the Lady of Sparta, even from your goddamn grave!
24:53Liar!
24:54You dare defile her offerings!
24:58I thought you were just used to that woman's obedience.
25:01Never imagined you'd take a dead woman as your wife.
25:04Where does that leave me?
25:06I will say this one last time, Lyra.
25:08The woman I love is Kassa.
25:09In this life in the underworld, it will only ever be heard.
25:12If Kassa could hear you, she would be laughing aloud!
25:15Even I pretended to be her to meet you three years ago still couldn't win your heart!
25:19Pretended?
25:20What the hell are you talking about?
25:21You still don't know, do you?
25:22The girl you fell for at first might outside the temple.
25:26It was never me.
25:27It was Kassa.
25:29What did you just say?
25:32For three years, the love of your life was right beside you.
25:36And you tortured her ninety-nine times.
25:41Surprised?
25:55Who are you?
25:56You dance like... a goddess.
25:58I am the High General of Sparta.
26:00I could name you the Prima Dancer for the festival.
26:03Sneaking out to dance is bad enough.
26:04But seen by a man, father will punish me severely.
26:07Stay back!
26:08My dress is torn.
26:09Turn around!
26:10I won't come closer.
26:12At least give me your name.
26:24Aristo?
26:26The mighty High General of Sparta?
26:33Did you find her?
26:34You couldn't even give us a face, General.
26:36We're chasing a shadow.
26:38Useless!
26:45Sorry, I ran off last night.
26:47It's you.
26:49You're the girl dancing in the moonlight?
26:52You didn't even know who you really loved.
26:55You're the most pathetic fool in Sparta, Ario.
26:57No wonder you would never dance for me again.
