Short filmTranscript
00:00:04I had been satisfied with my sacred marriage.
00:00:09Leander was the god of order and law on Olympus.
00:00:12He stood above everyone.
00:00:14He believed only in absolute reason.
00:00:17The three fates sealed our vows under Hera's witness.
00:00:31That night, I had the temple servants haul ten pounds of the boniest monster fish.
00:00:40Pick them clean. You seem good at this.
00:00:47A husband who forgets his place can be trained.
00:00:51If he cannot, I will file the decree of separation.
00:00:55I do not tolerate filth in my own temple.
00:01:08She is a low-tier nymph, high goddess.
00:01:11The god of order's mentor took her in before he died.
00:01:14Her name is Daphne.
00:01:16High goddess Lissandra, I am Daphne.
00:01:18I am new to this divine city.
00:01:20I beg for your patience.
00:01:22I smiled without warmth.
00:01:25My handmaid guided me to my seat.
00:01:27I said nothing.
00:01:29I exchanged beet-winged greetings with the elders.
00:01:31From the corner of my eye, I watched Liard chew the venison with a blank face.
00:01:59Send a servant to the Aegyan Sea.
00:02:02Ten pounds of bony monster fish.
00:02:03Steamed, deliver it to the God of Order's bedroom tonight.
00:02:08High goddess.
00:02:10The gods truly favor you.
00:02:13You get to marry a god as great as the God of Order.
00:02:16You spend your days doing nothing in the inner temple.
00:02:18Weaving divine threads.
00:02:19Eating figs covered with nectar.
00:02:23We poor little spirits are different.
00:02:25We have to copy his scrolls under the lamps.
00:02:27Terrified of writing a single roan wrong.
00:02:31The discipline in this temple has really fallen apart.
00:02:35High goddess.
00:02:37Please forgive me.
00:02:38I meant no offense.
00:02:39I grew up in the wild.
00:02:40I don't know the rules of the city.
00:02:44Her eyes stared openly at the gold laurel crown on my head.
00:02:48I heard Hephaestus has forged that crown himself.
00:02:51It suits high goddess so well.
00:02:54She lowered her lashes again.
00:02:57The God of Order works so hard.
00:02:59He bleeds himself dry to keep the laws of this realm.
00:03:03I just feel bad for him.
00:03:11You rude little spirit.
00:03:14You think high goddess Lysander is some ordinary fairy.
00:03:21Inside this temple, she is your high goddess.
00:03:25Outside these doors, she carries the spear of war given by Athena.
00:03:30Even the god of war in Sparta bows to her.
00:03:35The gods call her the supreme commander.
00:03:40The high goddess is the last bloodline of the great Spartan gods.
00:03:45Her marriage to the god of order was set by prophecy.
00:03:51Hera witnessed it herself.
00:03:54Have you understood now?
00:03:56What nonsense are you talking about?
00:03:58On your knees!
00:03:59Now!
00:04:01Daphne went pale.
00:04:03She bit her lip.
00:04:04Tears fell.
00:04:04She looked at Leandre for help.
00:04:06Leandre met my eyes.
00:04:07My face was blank.
00:04:11Apologize to your high goddess.
00:04:13Watch your mouth.
00:04:14If you don't know the rules here,
00:04:16the high priestess will teach you.
00:04:18High goddess.
00:04:19I was wrong.
00:04:24I have temple business to handle.
00:04:26Enjoy your meal.
00:04:33After the third watch of the night,
00:04:34I went back to the bedroom.
00:04:43You are late tonight.
00:04:45The wind has teeth.
00:04:47He did this every night for three years.
00:04:56My husband.
00:04:58Pick the bones clean for me.
00:05:01You didn't eat dinner.
00:05:03Why is there so much?
00:05:06Your divine body took battle damage.
00:05:08You shouldn't eat fish this late.
00:05:11He turned to call a servant to take the basin away.
00:05:14I want you to pick the bones clean.
00:05:16With your own hands.
00:05:20Lysandra.
00:05:21You know I hate the smell of monster fish.
00:05:27Do you?
00:05:28You picked those fish bones with great skill tonight.
00:05:32For your mentor's orphan.
00:05:34So this is what this is about.
00:05:42I've never seen you jealous before.
00:05:45I thought my wife was of these mortal fiends.
00:05:48Above these mortal feelings.
00:05:57I thought you were a companion of Athena.
00:06:08She is a low-tier fairy with no power.
00:06:12Gods mock her everywhere she goes.
00:06:15My mentor left her in my care before he died.
00:06:20She is young.
00:06:22I let her stand close.
00:06:24If it offends you, I will keep my distance.
00:06:32Leander.
00:06:34Do you know why I picked you?
00:06:37The prophecy laid the busts of every eligible high-ranking god in front of me.
00:06:43Because you were clean.
00:06:49The gods say the god of order walks in Apollo's grace.
00:06:53Free of lust.
00:06:54He never lets another body touch his.
00:06:56That is convenient.
00:06:58I am the same.
00:07:03Our marriage balances two realms.
00:07:05The Spartan army.
00:07:07The Athenian senate.
00:07:08For three years we kept our vows under Hera's power.
00:07:12I want nothing else from this marriage.
00:07:15I only want it kept clean.
00:07:17I don't want filth crawling into my sight.
00:07:23Pick the bones clean.
00:07:25Every single one.
00:07:27This is the price for crossing the first line.
00:07:30If you aren't done before Apollo's sun chariot rises,
00:07:36you won't sleep tonight.
00:07:38Leander left for the senate before the sun chariot rose.
00:07:47Hi goddess.
00:07:48What should I do with all this fish?
00:07:51Clio.
00:07:52You have younger siblings in your realm.
00:07:54Wrap this up and take it back.
00:07:55The god of order picked these bones himself.
00:08:00They are very clean.
00:08:02Throwing them into the abyss would be a waste.
00:08:11After that, things went back to normal between us.
00:08:16The bitterness of that night faded.
00:08:18He even did something new.
00:08:20On his rest days, he took me to the temple of Demaita outside the city walls.
00:08:25Twice.
00:08:27Lysa.
00:08:28Spend the afternoon with me.
00:08:30Just the two of us.
00:08:34After I finish inspecting the Spartan veterans.
00:08:37I had to secretly inspect the retired Spartan soldiers.
00:08:41I had no time to watch which low-tea fairy slept in the corner of his temple.
00:08:45A month later, we were supposed to take the winged horse carriage to the Acropolis for the gods banquet.
00:08:53Daphne sat in the seat meant for me.
00:08:55The seat of the high goddess.
00:09:02High goddess.
00:09:04You look radiant today.
00:09:07That divine robe suits you.
00:09:10She spoke completely naturally.
00:09:12She ignored the chill in my eyes.
00:09:14She opened her big eyes and played innocent.
00:09:17Leander sat across from her.
00:09:19His bathalite was straying her terrors by psychment.
00:09:22My face was blank.
00:09:31Daphne's smile frozen.
00:09:32After a long moment, she looked down.
00:09:35She twisted her veil in her hands.
00:09:37High goddess.
00:09:39The lord saw me limping back from the gardens.
00:09:42I delivered prophecy scrolls all morning.
00:09:46My feet hurt.
00:09:50He felt bad for me.
00:09:51I don't have a strong divine body.
00:09:53The servant's cart is too bumpy.
00:09:54I climbed into your seat.
00:10:00The gods around us were already slowing their carriages to watch.
00:10:03My lord.
00:10:06Please, say something.
00:10:08The high goddess is angry with me.
00:10:11Get out.
00:10:13Daphne, step down.
00:10:32Who said you could follow us?
00:10:52Is the temple's temple not enough?
00:10:54You can't even rent your own carriage.
00:10:57I let the coin sit between us.
00:10:59If living under our roof is so hard for you, take this.
00:11:02Hire a few cromplos.
00:11:04Hire a few cromplos.
00:11:04Go home yourself.
00:11:06Stop embarrassing me in public.
00:11:10Leander watched her swaying in the cold wind.
00:11:13He frowned.
00:11:15Lysandra, you don't have to humiliate her.
00:11:18I turned to him.
00:11:19I gave a low laugh.
00:11:22Hire a few cromplos.
00:11:24Hire a few cromplos.
00:11:25My husband.
00:11:26This is your fault.
00:11:28The fairy under the god of order's protection is so poor.
00:11:34She begs for a seat in a carriage.
00:11:37If the gods hear about this,
00:11:40they will say you mistreat your mender's bloodline.
00:11:44You won't even give her enough nectar to drink.
00:11:47Cleo, pass this order.
00:11:49Starting tomorrow,
00:11:50double the stapry for everyone in this temple.
00:11:52Charge it to my dowry lands.
00:11:55Yes, high goddess.
00:12:04High goddess.
00:12:06I am a low-tier fairy begging for shelter.
00:12:09But I have my dignity.
00:12:10How dare you trample my dignity with vulgar coins?
00:12:18You can't afford a carriage.
00:12:20You climbed into the god of order's ride.
00:12:22I gave you a divine coin.
00:12:24Now I am the one trampling your dignity.
00:12:28Does the god of order have to carry you back himself to respect your dignity?
00:12:32Your dignity is worth more than golden apples.
00:12:40Leander serves the whole Agatian realm.
00:12:42The food supply for the northern army depends on his laws.
00:12:46If he is late,
00:12:47the soldiers starve.
00:12:49Can your dignity feed them?
00:12:51Can it?
00:12:59Drive on.
00:13:01The winged horses took off.
00:13:04I closed my eyes.
00:13:06I didn't look back.
00:13:08There was no wind inside the carriage.
00:13:10The cheap rose oil Daphne wore lingered on the leather.
00:13:13He forced his voice gentle.
00:13:16Her shrine is far from the Acropolis.
00:13:19I just wanted to honor my dead mentor.
00:13:23I gave her a ride.
00:13:24If it bothers you this much...
00:13:32I told you.
00:13:33I picked you because you were clean.
00:13:35You aren't the only one who cares about that.
00:13:38I care too.
00:13:40The monster fish was the first time.
00:13:42We agreed to move past it.
00:13:45Today you gave her my seat.
00:13:46The seat of the High Goddess.
00:13:49My patience has limits.
00:13:51I give three chances.
00:13:53Today is your second.
00:13:57My demand is simple.
00:13:58Keep your boundaries as the god of order.
00:14:00Keep your boundaries as a husband.
00:14:02Don't push me until I am disgusted.
00:14:10Have nothing to say.
00:14:11Then stay silent.
00:14:13I grew up in the bronze and divine blood of Sparta.
00:14:16I never lived watching other people's faces.
00:14:20I don't beg for permission.
00:14:22I don't beg for forgiveness.
00:14:32My movements were smooth.
00:14:34I act as if the fight never happened.
00:14:37You need to be clear, husband.
00:14:38Our marriage holds the balance between two realms.
00:14:47The Senate could impeach you tomorrow for chaos in your temple.
00:14:52They will say you don't deserve the power of the god of order.
00:14:56Put that smile back on your face.
00:14:58We both had perfect divine edit ticket training.
00:15:00Don't show any cracks.
00:15:02I put a perfect warm smile on my lips.
00:15:05My words were sharp blades.
00:15:07His face smoothed out.
00:15:08He turned back into the calm god of order the whole city worshipped.
00:15:12We crossed the threshold together.
00:15:15We walked through the colonnadel.
00:15:16The elder mother walked over with her servants.
00:15:18She took my hand.
00:15:19She patted it gently.
00:15:20Lysa.
00:15:21I haven't seen you in a month.
00:15:23You look more radiant than ever.
00:15:26Come.
00:15:26Sit by me.
00:15:29Leander sat down right next to me.
00:15:31The elders of the god clan gathered.
00:15:33They chatted easily.
00:15:34Bring the best ambrosia for her majesty.
00:15:36And the honeyed figs from the southern groves.
00:15:40At once, elder mother.
00:15:45I heard the god king gave the Spartan army control of the Laoria silver mines.
00:15:50You act fast.
00:15:52A true daughter of war.
00:15:55You flatter me.
00:15:56I only work for the alliance.
00:15:58Sparda and Athens are one.
00:15:59We have no division.
00:16:05What is wrong with you today?
00:16:07You sit here.
00:16:09You don't even check your wife's health.
00:16:16You and Lysa were having a good talk.
00:16:18I didn't want to interrupt.
00:16:20The elder mother played with a gold hero token in her hand.
00:16:25I heard about that orphan, your dead mentor, forced on you.
00:16:29She has no manners.
00:16:31She doesn't know her place.
00:16:47I already told the head servant.
00:16:49Tomorrow at dawn, a broken cart will take her to a remote shrine in Arcadia.
00:16:58A fairy with no family, no manners and no self-awareness.
00:17:02She has no right to stay in this temple.
00:17:04She will only bring gossip.
00:17:08I left her a hundred silver coins to settle down.
00:17:12She can walk her own path from here.
00:17:19Grandmother, I am the high god of this temple now.
00:17:22If you want to kick a fairy out of my inner hall.
00:17:26Shouldn't you tell me first?
00:17:56You enforce the laws in the Senate with a cold heart.
00:17:59Don't ruin your own divine path over a fairy worse than Lois' servant.
00:18:10These seeds are ripe.
00:18:11I tupped at, elder mother.
00:18:13Try one.
00:18:18The banquet ended in fake peace.
00:18:23We went back to our own temple.
00:18:25The second we walked into the bedroom.
00:18:28All of you.
00:18:30Out.
00:18:31Close the doors behind you.
00:18:36Laysa.
00:18:37We need to talk.
00:18:39I walked to the bronze basin to wash my hands.
00:18:47Talk about what?
00:18:48My husband?
00:18:49Our private fights.
00:18:51You actually went and alarmed my grandmother.
00:18:53You used her hands to deal with a fairy in my temple.
00:18:57I stopped washing.
00:18:58I dropped the cloth into the water.
00:19:06You think I went to your grandmother.
00:19:08His eyes were pitch black.
00:19:09We had been married for three years.
00:19:10I had never seen that mix of disappointment and disgust in his eyes.
00:19:13Wasn't it you?
00:19:15Laysa.
00:19:16I always respected your pride as a god of war.
00:19:18I put up with your temper.
00:19:22But you pushed that fairy into a corner.
00:19:24You are the high goddess of this temple.
00:19:26Your jealousy made you lose your mind.
00:19:30Now you reached into the old temple.
00:19:32You made my grandmother banish her to a desolate shrine.
00:19:35You know I never let other gods interfere with my business.
00:19:38Are you done complaining?
00:19:41God of order?
00:19:42Why are you so furious?
00:19:44Is it because your grandmother bypassed your power?
00:19:47Because she made you look bad?
00:19:49Or is it because your fragile fairy got sent away?
00:19:52Your heart is bleeding for her.
00:19:54His face went pale and hard.
00:19:59Even now, you still don't think you did anything wrong?
00:20:04What did I do wrong?
00:20:06I took a step toward him.
00:20:09I looked right into his eyes.
00:20:11When I saw you sharing a seat with her in my carriage,
00:20:14I held my anger back.
00:20:17Was I wrong?
00:20:18I took another step.
00:20:20When your grandmother finally saw through her act,
00:20:23when she sent her back where she belongs,
00:20:26I stayed quiet.
00:20:28Was I wrong?
00:20:29Or is it this?
00:20:31The night you picked fish bones for her,
00:20:34I didn't go straight to Hera's temple to file the decree.
00:20:37Was that my mistake?
00:20:40His pupils shrank.
00:20:43I stepped back.
00:20:44My eyes swept over him.
00:20:46I shook my head with a tiny bit of regret.
00:20:50Leander.
00:20:51I told you.
00:20:52Three chances.
00:20:53Tonight.
00:20:55You used your last one.
00:21:01No god can put up with your endless arrogance.
00:21:04He went to the men's hall at the front of the temple.
00:21:07He cut off all contact with me.
00:21:09He didn't leave a single word.
00:21:11I had no patience to chase him down these empty halls.
00:21:18Cleo, bring me the prophecy scrolls from the northern defense line.
00:21:21All of them.
00:21:23Yes, high goddess.
00:21:24The pile is already on your war table.
00:21:28Seven days later.
00:21:29It was the festival of Hera.
00:21:38Supreme commander, the god of order, to the festival of Hera last night.
00:21:43He didn't go alone.
00:21:46Speak.
00:21:47He went with a stunningly beautiful fairy.
00:21:49She wore Tyrian purple silk.
00:21:51She had a gold crown with rubies and pearls.
00:21:53They walked side by side in the Acropolis gardens.
00:21:56Every god in the city saw them.
00:21:58The gossips are already talking.
00:22:02They say seeing them together was a vision of Armus and Aphrodite.
00:22:05I sat in silence.
00:22:07Then I called for the scholar who knew the divine marriage laws best.
00:22:13Every clause on broken vows.
00:22:16Every loophole.
00:22:17I want this decree to be airtight.
00:22:20Understood, supreme commander.
00:22:22Breaking a marriage vow between Spalta and Athens would shake the senate.
00:22:26Every rule had to be perfectly tight.
00:22:28The decree wasn't going to finish drafting yet.
00:22:31The elder mother's pegasus chariot arrived at my temple in a fierce rush.
00:22:39Lysa.
00:22:40What happened at the festival?
00:22:42You and Leander?
00:22:43You aren't really going to break up.
00:22:45She rushed in before she even fixed her hair.
00:22:52We already broke up.
00:22:54I wasn't at the festival.
00:22:55But the god of order's body and soul are clearly stained with broken vows.
00:23:02Lysa.
00:23:03The boy was confused for a moment.
00:23:05He crossed the line.
00:23:06She grabbed the edge of my desk.
00:23:08I will go to the family altar.
00:23:11Right now.
00:23:12I will will make him answer to you in front of the sacred fire.
00:23:17There is no need.
00:23:19Grandmother.
00:23:21The decree is ready.
00:23:23Once I stamp my commander's seal on it, I will deliver it to him myself.
00:23:28You and he can read every rule carefully.
00:23:31If you have a problem with returning my dowry lands,
00:23:34send your speech guards to negotiate with my Spartan generals.
00:23:46You absolutely cannot do this.
00:23:50Lysa.
00:23:52The boy is a fool.
00:23:53He gripped the desk tighter.
00:23:56But the marriage between Sparla and Athens keeps the whole alliance stable.
00:24:00You can't break a divine vow just because you are angry.
00:24:04I curled my lips.
00:24:05I gave a cold smile.
00:24:07Grandmother.
00:24:08This isn't anger.
00:24:09I gave Leander three chances.
00:24:10He wasted all of them.
00:24:11I am Lysandra of Sparda.
00:24:13I never bow to a husband who can't keep his vows.
00:24:19A rushed decree will shake the Senate.
00:24:21Our political enemies will jump on this.
00:24:24You have to know how high the price is.
00:24:31Leander's father kept over a dozen mistresses.
00:24:34Every high-ranking god in this city does the same.
00:24:36Just hold on to your seat as the main wife.
00:24:39Why do you care about a few low-tier fairies?
00:24:44This is too reckless.
00:24:46How are you going to face the ten thousand Spartan soldiers under your command?
00:24:58Grandmother, outside this temple, every god in the city bows to you.
00:25:02They call you the elder mother of the old family because you wear his divine name.
00:25:06But when they see me, they kneel on the marble.
00:25:10They call me Supreme Commander.
00:25:17Do you still not see the difference?
00:25:19You spent your whole life as the meek wife of a great god, relying on his favor.
00:25:24That is your fate.
00:25:26My fate is not yours.
00:25:30From the day my hand gripped Athena's sacred spear, I became the absolute master of the Spartan army.
00:25:36I never act based on a man's mood.
00:25:38I never bow to any family.
00:25:40I picked up the decree.
00:25:41The ink was still wet.
00:25:42As for the Senate, I will crush the storm this decree brings.
00:25:46Your family can sleep easy.
00:25:50I didn't wait for the color to come back to her face.
00:25:52I took the decree and walked straight out.
00:25:58I walked straight to the men's hall at the front of the temple.
00:26:02There were divine guards at the door, but no low-tier servant dared to stop me.
00:26:13It is the Supreme Commander.
00:26:14She is holding a sealed scroll.
00:26:16Gods protect us.
00:26:17Whatever is written on that scroll, the lord is completely finished this time.
00:26:28Leander was leaning over a sheep hen crawl.
00:26:36Drink it slowly, my lord.
00:26:38You've been working all morning.
00:26:41Poor Dawn.
00:26:42Leander had stopped the servant's cart at the city gates.
00:26:44He snuck her back into his private hall.
00:26:46He openly defied the elder mother's orders.
00:26:51You came.
00:26:58High goddess.
00:27:00You broke into the lord's study without asking.
00:27:04By the rules of the temple,
00:27:05you must ask for the lord's permission first.
00:27:14Grab her.
00:27:15If she won't shut up, gag her.
00:27:19If she won't shut up, gag her.
00:27:39God of order.
00:27:41I am here on official business.
00:27:43A wild dog barked in my way.
00:27:45I dealt with it.
00:27:54Read it.
00:27:55If you have an issue with dividing my dowry lands,
00:27:58send your speech gods to the Spartan camp to negotiate.
00:28:03You want to break this marriage?
00:28:06Yes.
00:28:10Just because I took her to the festival of Hera!
00:28:14Lysandra!
00:28:14Lysandra!
00:28:15When will you drop this tyrant arrogance?
00:28:18I told you.
00:28:20Three chances.
00:28:20Yesterday was the last one.
00:28:22I am Lysandra of Sparla.
00:28:23The orders I give never change.
00:28:29I refuse.
00:28:31Our family alliance is the foundation of two realms.
00:28:38Stop acting like a supreme commander in my temple.
00:28:41You are cruel.
00:28:42You are empty.
00:28:43You do not deserve to be the high goddess of this temple.
00:28:48Lysandra.
00:28:49This nameless fairy fed your ego a little bit.
00:28:52Did she make you forget your own divine name?
00:28:56How dare you try to chain me with the ridiculous laws of the Athenian Senate?
00:29:00The laws that lock goddess in front of weaving looms.
00:29:04You think you can put that yoke on my neck.
00:29:07A proper high goddess.
00:29:10You mean a woman like your grandmother.
00:29:12She watched her husband fill the temple with mistresses and bastards.
00:29:16And she kept smiling.
00:29:18I can't learn how to be that pathetic.
00:29:23You know the truth.
00:29:24I grew up holding a war spear in the training grounds of Sparta.
00:29:28I command 10,000 divine troops.
00:29:31The armor I wear was one when I flattened the northern defense lines.
00:29:34I hold absolute power.
00:29:36The most noble blood flows in my vein.
00:29:39Why should I bow to you?
00:29:42I gave you chances.
00:29:44You wasted all of them.
00:29:46My rules will never change for you.
00:29:49Stop dreaming you could be the exception.
00:29:58Lysana, what do you have to be proud of?
00:30:01Your prophecies?
00:30:02Your laws?
00:30:04You were just born on the right side.
00:30:05If you weren't born into a great god clan, what right do you have to lecture me?
00:30:10Look at you.
00:30:11Painted up like a tavern girl.
00:30:14The whole picture is ridiculous.
00:30:16Daphne, birth is fate.
00:30:18That is true.
00:30:19But generations of Spartan blood bled out on the battlefield.
00:30:22That is what gave me the power I hold today.
00:30:29When I took the War Spear, I won the title of Supreme Commander with my own two hands.
00:30:37I gave you chances.
00:30:39You wasted all of them.
00:30:42My rules will never change for you.
00:30:45Stop dreaming you could be the exception.
00:30:53Lysana, what do you have to be proud of?
00:30:56Your prophecies?
00:30:58Your laws?
00:30:59You were just born on the right side.
00:31:01If you weren't born into a great god clan, what right do you have to lecture me?
00:31:05Look at you.
00:31:07Painted up like a tavern girl.
00:31:09The whole picture is ridiculous.
00:31:11Daphne, birth is fate.
00:31:13That is true.
00:31:15But generations of Spartan blood bled out on the battlefield.
00:31:17That is what gave me the power I hold today.
00:31:24When I took the War Spear, I won the title of Supreme Commander with my own two hands.
00:31:33I don't need to beg any man for attention.
00:31:36I don't plot in the dark corners just to win a little favor.
00:31:40Your jealousy is worth nothing to me.
00:31:49By the time I reached the Spartan camp, the commander's war banner was already flying.
00:31:59Tell the Elder Mother's messenger.
00:32:02Send them back at the gate.
00:32:03Three times now.
00:32:05I have no time for the old family.
00:32:08Yes, Supreme Commander.
00:32:10The border war was coming.
00:32:12I was preparing the autumn review for the Festival of Ares.
00:32:15I had no time for petty things.
00:32:17Tens of thousands of Spartan soldiers stood below.
00:32:20The citizens of Athens and the elders of the Senate crowded the space.
00:32:38Supreme Commander, I beg you.
00:32:41Let me live.
00:32:43The God of order and I are clean.
00:32:54I am just a low-tier fairy with no power.
00:32:58You cannot use your divine army to crush me.
00:33:01I have nothing in this world but my name.
00:33:04How can you use your power to bury me?
00:33:09Look at her.
00:33:11She is skin and bone.
00:33:12The commander brings 10,000 spears against a fairy who has nothing.
00:33:18Is this the justice of Athens?
00:33:21Stand back.
00:33:23Let her finish.
00:33:33Supreme Commander, you were born holding every blessing of the gods.
00:33:37I am an outsider in this divine city.
00:33:39I bled and sweated to earn a tiny corner of safety here.
00:33:48You destroyed everything I built with one word.
00:33:51Is there no law in this realm?
00:33:53Can Zeus not see this?
00:33:58Are you done?
00:34:05Why are you not even angry?
00:34:07Look at me!
00:34:08Speak!
00:34:16Daphne, you cry your case in front of all the gods of Athens.
00:34:20I will give you my answer in public.
00:34:27First, I know you never slept with Leander.
00:34:30Your game is to test his limits.
00:34:32You pretended to be weak and forced your way into his carriage.
00:34:36You demanded he pick fish bones for you at the family feast.
00:34:39You took my seat.
00:34:40You walked beside him at the festival of Hera.
00:34:42Second, you were kicked out of the temple twice.
00:34:47The first time, the elder mother threw you out herself.
00:34:50She saw the rot inside you.
00:34:52The second time, the god of order banished you himself.
00:34:55He said your presence ruined his marriage.
00:34:57He blamed you for breaking us.
00:34:59And I, the supreme commander of the Spartan army, never stepped foot in the inner hall to remove you.
00:35:06You are crying at the wrong altar, girl.
00:35:09Find the right shine to cry at.
00:35:15That is only because you are jealous.
00:35:17You couldn't handle his kindness to me.
00:35:20You used the separation decree to threaten him.
00:35:23You forced the elder mother and the god of order to treat me this way.
00:35:31Me, jealous of you?
00:35:40Every bone in your body weighs less than this bronze sword at my waist.
00:35:45Hephethos forged it.
00:35:47What do I have to be jealous of?
00:35:49Jealous of your place as a beggar?
00:35:52Jealous that you sit at the table of a male god who is losing his patience?
00:35:55I am the supreme commander of the Spartan army.
00:36:00Do I need to be jealous of that?
00:36:10Daphne, stop crying.
00:36:12Your act failed.
00:36:15She saw the crowd no longer pitied her.
00:36:18Her voice cracked.
00:36:23What?
00:36:24What do you have to be proud of?
00:36:26You just have the army.
00:36:28That is all.
00:36:29If I had your temple, your wealth, your noble blood, the god of order would definitely choose me.
00:36:37He would choose a soft, warm fairy.
00:36:41Not a Spartan brute who only knows how to swing a spear.
00:36:48You have nothing in this world but your face.
00:36:51That is why you think the fake affection of a male god is so precious.
00:36:55When I was your age, I had already chopped off the heads of monsters on the battlefield.
00:37:01I already carried the war flashing of the Spartan army.
00:37:04I am older now.
00:37:05I am not soft at all.
00:37:07I don't need a male god's pity.
00:37:08But the army I command can flatten the entire Senate.
00:37:12When you reach my age, when your beauty is gone, what will you have left?
00:37:24Those are pretty words.
00:37:27You throw your weight around because of your ancestors' blood.
00:37:31You bully the weak.
00:37:33What is there to be proud of?
00:37:37Watch your mouth, witch.
00:37:39The commander has guarded the northern defense line for years.
00:37:42She crushed the monster armies in the wasteland.
00:37:48She took back the lost territories.
00:37:52Tens of thousands of citizens sleep safely because of her.
00:37:56The temples she built raise the orphans of war.
00:37:59The pensions for the fallen soldiers have never been short.
00:38:03You think she lives the same life you do?
00:38:05You think she wastes her time on petty fights?
00:38:13Do you have anything else to say?
00:38:15If not, get off this field.
00:38:18You are delaying my military review.
00:38:25So what?
00:38:26All of Athens is watching.
00:38:27The people will not tolerate you.
00:38:28Let me tell you, commander.
00:38:29They will tear you to pieces for what you did to me.
00:38:35Their eyes were no longer the eyes of bystanders.
00:38:38They were the eyes of an offended city.
00:38:43Shameless witch!
00:38:44She came here to seduce the commander's husband.
00:38:48She failed and now she slanders the commander who saved our city.
00:38:51She slanders the god of war who protects our bounds.
00:38:59Drag her off the altar.
00:39:01Throw her to the hellhounds.
00:39:02The angry voices rose into a roar.
00:39:05Daphne's legs gave out.
00:39:09In just a few days, he looked ten years older.
00:39:12His white robe with the purple border was wrinkled.
00:39:14It was covered in dirt.
00:39:15Heavy exhaustion sat in his eyes.
00:39:31How much longer are you going to shame my family?
00:39:41My lord.
00:39:43I knew you cared about me.
00:39:45Didn't you?
00:39:49Drag her away!
00:39:51Get her out of my sight!
00:39:52Right now!
00:39:53The bedroom scandal of the god of order.
00:39:55He is disciplining a fairy in public.
00:39:57This will be told in the taverns for ten years.
00:40:05Lysa, can you forgive me?
00:40:07I never wanted to break our vows.
00:40:09She and I never crossed the physical line.
00:40:14Please.
00:40:19No.
00:40:27I don't want to hear excuses.
00:40:29Your chances are gone.
00:40:31From the moment you decided to provoke me, you lost this game.
00:40:35You wanted to put me down.
00:40:37She tried to climb over my head with cheap tricks.
00:40:40You lost a long time ago.
00:40:42Why are you sentencing me to death over a stupid flare of pride?
00:40:45We spent three years in peace, didn't we?
00:40:48Leander.
00:40:50This has nothing to do with pride.
00:40:54This proves you never saw me as your equal in your bones.
00:41:02You were afraid of my edge.
00:41:04You wanted to tame me with cheap methods.
00:41:06You wanted to put a leash on me.
00:41:08Go back to your temple.
00:41:09Put your seal on the parchment.
00:41:11Don't delay my march.
00:41:30The mess at the practice grounds didn't delay the Spartan army's march by a single hour.
00:41:41Within half a day, the whole thing was turned into a comedy at the Theatre of Dynossus.
00:41:48The story spread through the markets and taverns of Athens.
00:41:51The gossip was the same at every stall.
00:41:53That orphan actually tried to climb into the God of Order's bed?
00:41:58She is crazy.
00:42:00She actually dared to cry in front of the Supreme Commander.
00:42:06And our High Archen.
00:42:07He can't even keep his own temple clean.
00:42:10He let a wild fairy humiliate his wife.
00:42:13The commander divorced him in public.
00:42:15That is true Spartan style.
00:42:19In the inner halls of Athens.
00:42:21The wives of the gods had suffered in silence at their looms for countless years.
00:42:24In secret.
00:42:25To toast me.
00:42:26Now.
00:42:27They raise their gold cups.
00:42:30That weight on my chest.
00:42:33Three years of it.
00:42:34Finally gone.
00:42:38A goddess should never be a caged nightbird.
00:42:42Her wings should not be broken by the laws of submission.
00:42:50I never forgot that.
00:42:53Not for a single day.
00:42:57He hadn't spoken for three hours.
00:43:00He never talked much.
00:43:02I dug him out of outpile bodies ten years ago.
00:43:05He was only twelve.
00:43:07Titan remnants had flattened his mother's shrine.
00:43:10His mother was a priestess of Hectha in Tharius.
00:43:14His father was the Spartan god-king.
00:43:17A fact the god-king never admitted.
00:43:20The boy I pulled from the corpses bit my hand down to the bone.
00:43:24That was when he realized I wasn't there to kill him.
00:43:29The scar is still on my left wrist.
00:43:31He never apologized.
00:43:33He never needed to.
00:43:37Commander.
00:43:38The mountain pass will freeze after the third watch.
00:43:41We should take the western route.
00:43:50Then we take the west.
00:43:53That is the perfect distance.
00:43:55Just enough to block an arrow aimed at my back.
00:43:58And just enough so I do not have to admit what that distance means.
00:44:02Past the outpost.
00:44:03There were no more soft olive grobes.
00:44:05Only iron-gray skies and blood-stained wasteland dirt.
00:44:11That weight on my chest.
00:44:13Three years of it.
00:44:15Finally gone.
00:44:18A goddess should never be a caged nightbird.
00:44:23Her wings should not be broken by the laws of submission.
00:44:31I never forgot that.
00:44:33Not for a single day.
00:44:37He hadn't spoken for three hours.
00:44:41He never talked much.
00:44:43I dug him out of outpile bodies ten years ago.
00:44:46He was only twelve.
00:44:48Titan remnants had flattened his mother's shrine.
00:44:51His mother was a priestess of Hectha in Tharius.
00:44:55His father was the Spartan god-king.
00:44:58A fact the god-king never admitted.
00:45:01The boy I pulled from the corpses bit my hand down to the bone.
00:45:05That was when he realized I wasn't there to kill him.
00:45:10The scar is still on my left wrist.
00:45:12He never apologized.
00:45:14He never needed to.
00:45:18Commander.
00:45:19The mountain pass will freeze after the third watch.
00:45:21We should take the western route.
00:45:31Then we take the west.
00:45:34That is the perfect distance.
00:45:36Just enough to block an arrow aimed at my back.
00:45:38And just enough so I do not have to admit what that distance means.
00:45:42Past the outpost.
00:45:43There were no more soft olive grobes.
00:45:45Only iron-gray skies and blood-stained wasteland dirt.
00:46:08The enemy chief attacked Lycos last night.
00:46:10He burned two villages.
00:46:12He stole their winter grain.
00:46:17This is the third raid this month, commander.
00:46:21He's getting bold.
00:46:35He's getting bold.
00:46:37Pass the order.
00:46:38The vanguard moves out with me at the third watch tonight.
00:46:41They prefer night attacks.
00:46:43I will teach them.
00:46:45What a real divine army assault looks like.
00:46:48Commander.
00:46:49You cannot.
00:46:50You carry the blood of demigods.
00:46:53You cannot lead the vanguard yourself.
00:46:54The older generals turn pale.
00:46:59In the Spartan army.
00:47:00No flesh and blood needs to be protected.
00:47:03There are only blades that guard the realm.
00:47:05I am the supreme commander.
00:47:06Where my sword points, that is where the army charges.
00:47:11Not another word.
00:47:12Prepare for battle!
00:47:14Yes, commander.
00:47:21The night attack was brutal.
00:47:24But it was incredibly clean.
00:47:33The news flew back to Athens on the wings of Hermes.
00:47:37In the mountains of corpses and seas of red.
00:47:39The petty dramas of the divine city vanish as a bad dream.
00:47:42I am not just Lysander.
00:47:43I am the god worshipped by a hundred thousand soldiers on the northern line.
00:47:46When the horns of victory echoed through the camp.
00:47:49Shadows fell over the ancient temple that no longer deserved the title of High Archul.
00:47:53Commander.
00:47:55Leonin has been stripped of his seat as family head.
00:47:57His faction in the senate has collapsed.
00:48:01The great families tore them to shreds.
00:48:04And the ones who used to kiss his feet on the street.
00:48:07They won't even look him in the eye.
00:48:12Commander.
00:48:14Last week it snowed.
00:48:15His carriage was blocked by young nobles in gold-plated chariots.
00:48:18He stepped aside to let them pass.
00:48:20One of them looked back and laughed.
00:48:21He said a god who can't even control his own women has no right to rule the city.
00:48:26He didn't get angry.
00:48:27He went back to his empty temple.
00:48:29He coughed up divine blood.
00:48:31He was bedwit for half a week.
00:48:32Commander.
00:48:35He finally understands.
00:48:37Half of the dignity he was so used to was carried by the Spartan army.
00:48:40He thought I existed just to sit quietly at the loom in the inner hall.
00:48:44He never understood.
00:48:45I was the shield of Athena blocking the storm for him the entire time.
00:48:50Harsh winter arrived.
00:48:51The senate vault held back the winter cloaks and grain for the northern army.
00:48:55This is the senate testing me.
00:48:57Caelan.
00:48:57Prepare your men.
00:48:59You're going back to the city.
00:49:00We're going to purge those corrupt oligarchs.
00:49:03Understood, Commander.
00:49:06The god king's messenger walked into the tent with a sealed letter.
00:49:10Commander.
00:49:11The former god of order emptied his personal wealth.
00:49:14He mortgaged the ancestral temple of his ancient family.
00:49:17He filled the gap in the vault himself.
00:49:23He resigned from his divine office.
00:49:25He kneeled in front of the god king's throne.
00:49:28He asked to be demoted to a low-tier quartermaster.
00:49:35He will escort the cloaks and grain to the northern front himself.
00:49:41The god king agreed.
00:49:44It was a direct decree from the god king himself.
00:49:49Slammed the bronze piece with a supply trap hard onto the map.
00:49:52Is this a trick worthy of Odysseus?
00:49:54Or is he coming north to die?
00:49:56From Athens to Thrats, it is nothing but ice and snow.
00:50:00He is a fragile scholar.
00:50:01He will freeze to death in the pass before he gets here.
00:50:06I don't care if he lives or dies.
00:50:09If he loses my divine grain, the commander will execute him by military law.
00:50:12And if he survives, Commander?
00:50:17Late affection is cheaper than the dust on the banks of river Strix.
00:50:21Late regret is worth nothing in my eyes.
00:50:26He survives or he doesn't.
00:50:29The grain is what matters.
00:50:35In the deepest weeks of winter, heavy snow buried the wasteland.
00:50:44I was inspecting the camp.
00:50:46I walked past the supply wagons.
00:50:48The wind was wowling.
00:50:50The soldiers were shivering under their cloaks.
00:50:53I saw him in the crowd.
00:50:57In just a few months, he had shrunk down to a starving ghost.
00:51:01The face I used to think was flawless as marble, slashed by the punishing wind.
00:51:06His lips were purple from the frieze.
00:51:08The fine robes of the God of Order hung on him as rags.
00:51:12He resembled a beggar crawling out of the abyss.
00:51:18Commander.
00:51:23Quartermaster.
00:51:24It was a hard journey.
00:51:29Count the grain and the cloaks.
00:51:32If there is a single piece missing or ruined, hold the Quartermaster responsible.
00:51:38When the count is done, put him in the lowest tent.
00:51:42Do you have nothing else to say to me?
00:51:43I survived three attacks.
00:51:45Two avalanches.
00:51:46I bled to bring this grain here.
00:51:50Only for one reason.
00:51:51For what reason?
00:51:52You are the Quartermaster.
00:51:54Delivering the grain safely is your duty.
00:51:56If you die in the past, that is your lack of skill.
00:51:59If the grain is lost, that is a death sentence.
00:52:07So you just finished the task you were assigned.
00:52:09Did you expect the commander to thank you?
00:52:11Did you expect this to relight the divine fire that died a long time ago?
00:52:14Commander.
00:52:15The wind is too harsh here.
00:52:16You have military matters to handle.
00:52:18Leave this to me.
00:52:26He was my husband for three years.
00:52:28He never touched me like that.
00:52:30He was never as natural and casual as this Spartan soldier just was.
00:52:33Quartermaster.
00:52:34The north wind is harsh.
00:52:36Leave your fragile Athenian manners in the city.
00:52:38Protecting the commander is the duty of the Spartan army.
00:52:40It is not the job of a foreign scribe.
00:52:43Kaelin followed at his usual half-horse distance.
00:52:45The wind and snow closed behind us.
00:52:48Behind me came Liden's harsh, desperate coughing.
00:52:51I did not turn back.
00:52:52Even once.
00:52:54The grain arrived, but the war shifted on the eve of the winter solstice.
00:52:58The enemy gathered a hundred thou troops, launching a desperate final strike under the cover of a blizzard.
00:53:12There are 50,000 troops.
00:53:14You must hold the walls and wait for reinforcements.
00:53:17Spartan law has no word for retreat.
00:53:20Open the gates.
00:53:20We fight.
00:53:23It was the most brutal battle of my life.
00:53:27I fought at the very front until my dark red cloak turned black with blood.
00:53:39Do you think this is a tragic play?
00:53:42You dying here will only dirty the soil of the Spartan army.
00:53:46At that moment, finally understood that the wife he once deemed weak was a true war goddess.
00:53:52The battle lasted three days and three nights.
00:53:5550,000 Spartans completely scratched the enemy horde.
00:53:59When we returned to camp, a deep wound laid my left arm open to the bone.
00:54:13It's done, Commander.
00:54:14The bleeding will stop by morning.
00:54:16Rest now.
00:54:24Put it down.
00:54:30Kaelin.
00:54:32Kaelin.
00:54:34The spear went straight through your arm.
00:54:37You were alone on the wall.
00:54:39I was on the southern line.
00:54:41I did not make it in time.
00:54:45I am still alive.
00:54:47You were alone on the wall.
00:54:54Commander.
00:54:55Do not do that again.
00:54:58That was the closest thing to an order I had ever heard him give me.
00:55:03I looked at his bowed head.
00:55:05I looked at his bowed head.
00:55:05The pale scar on his temple.
00:55:08His hair is getting long.
00:55:11In this camp, no one dares to bring a blade near his head.
00:55:17Except me.
00:55:27I rested on the back of his neck for the span of one breath.
00:55:31The skin there was burning hot.
00:55:34He did not move.
00:55:36He did not breathe.
00:55:37You will lead the vanguard tomorrow.
00:55:39Our business in the wasteland is not finished.
00:55:41Yes.
00:55:42Commander.
00:55:44I pulled my hand back.
00:55:45He left the tent.
00:55:47He did not look at me.
00:55:50The wound burns.
00:55:52That is not why I cannot sleep.
00:56:06Lysa.
00:56:08I am sorry.
00:56:10I am sorry.
00:56:12Quartermaster.
00:56:14The battle is over.
00:56:16If you came to see if the commander died in battle, you will be disappointed.
00:56:20I took your patience for weakness.
00:56:22I tested you out of absurd pride.
00:56:25I let others humiliate you.
00:56:27Every day for the past six months, I wished I was dead.
00:56:34He looked up.
00:56:35Lysa.
00:56:36I do not want anything anymore.
00:56:39I will give up my godship.
00:56:41I will give up my family.
00:56:43I will stay here and be a scribe.
00:56:47A servant to feed your horses.
00:56:51Just let me stay somewhere I can see you.
00:56:55Let me this.
00:56:58Let me fix this.
00:57:00I feel absolutely nothing inside.
00:57:02No thrill of revenge.
00:57:04No spark of old love.
00:57:06Just a deep and dead calm.
00:57:09Leander.
00:57:11You still do not understand.
00:57:13I leaned back against the fur pillows.
00:57:15You thought you could crawl to me as a dog and I would turn back.
00:57:19You are wrong.
00:57:20I do not reject you because of mistakes you need to fix.
00:57:23I reject you because you have lost all value in my eyes.
00:57:27I leaned forward slightly.
00:57:28I stared into his eyes.
00:57:30I praised you once because you were clean.
00:57:32Now you are stuck in the mud.
00:57:35Seeing you grovel makes me sicker than seeing you act high and mighty.
00:57:50The light in his eyes died out inch by inch.
00:57:54Kaelin.
00:57:55Take him out.
00:57:58Send a guard detail to escort the quartermaster back to the city tomorrow.
00:58:02Report to the guard king.
00:58:03The quartermaster did his duty.
00:58:06Give him credit.
00:58:18The wind beat against the tent.
00:58:24I heard Leander's wails of grief echoing through the camp.
00:58:28I slept in peace.
00:58:31In early spring, the god-king's messenger rode into camp.
00:58:40He held the Spartan war banner high.
00:58:44By the unprecedented decree of the Spartan god-king, the supreme commander Lysana, promoted to Autoramor of Thys for her
00:58:51unmatched glory in crushing the enemy.
00:58:53Promoted to Autoramor of Thys, heretory ruler of the three northern cities.
00:58:57In the hundred-year history of the Athenian alliance, the commander is the first and only goddess of foreign blood
00:59:03to hold such power.
00:59:04On the day of the crowning, the city streets were empty.
00:59:08All the citizens of Athens stood on both sides of the marble road.
00:59:13The panathionic way was carpeted in laurel leaves.
00:59:25Kaelin rode half a horse length behind.
00:59:28His eyes never left my back.
00:59:35There she is.
00:59:38The autocomper of Darcy.
00:59:42She crushed the enemy chief herself.
00:59:51I heard his head still hangs on her war banner.
00:59:55Think of that fool, Leander.
01:00:05He threw her away for a country fairy.
01:00:14It was Leander.
01:00:17He is an old man burnt down to the last wick.
01:00:21His eyes are entirely swallowed by endless regret.
01:00:24He will spend the rest of his life inside that cage, torment day and night.
01:00:30Until the day his soul turns to dust.
01:00:35I did not let my gaze stay on him.
01:00:38I turned my face forward.
01:00:45My road.
01:00:46Road belongs with the boundless Agenian sea.
01:00:49And the stars above Mount Olympus.
01:00:51As for those who once tried to dirty the hem of my war cloak in the mud.
01:00:56The spinning wheel of the fates has already grinded them to dust.
01:01:01They lost the right to even be remembered by me.
