00:00:02I'm Leora Valeris, the most revered Duchess of the Arthurian continent.
00:00:07Right now, I'm standing at my coronation, basking in the adoration of my people.
00:00:25Why do you get to have all this supreme glory?
00:00:28If I had been the one Harry Marcus, all of this would be mine!
00:00:37My stepsister, Isolette, the glory Isolette dreams of, is just hell in disguise.
00:00:46If I had to do it all over again, I'd rather die than take a single step back into that
00:00:51life.
00:00:58I thought this was the end, but I never expected the World Tree Pendant to absorb our blood, and actually
00:01:06turn back time.
00:01:24I'm actually back. The husband's selection. The day that decided my fate three years ago.
00:01:35Leora, go find yourself a wealthy suitor and set a good example for your sister!
00:01:40In my past life, I stood right here and chose the Count's son, Marcus, walking step by step into a
00:01:47gilded tomb.
00:01:48This time, I won't let history repeat itself.
00:01:57Your Highness, this commoner's marriage selection is nothing but a farce for ruined families to trade power for cash.
00:02:04As a prince of the realm, how can you pick your future queen from a bunch of country bumpers?
00:02:08Royal power only buys fake obedience. What I want is true love. Someone who can look past this dirt and
00:02:16seize my soul.
00:02:17We're just passing by anyway, let's take a look.
00:02:28Count Montburne's son Marcus is actually here. The revival of our family depends entirely on today.
00:02:35You must use your looks and charm to seduce powerful nobles like him.
00:02:56My lord, I am willing to offer you my absolute loyalty, body and soul.
00:03:02Seeing the desperate look in Isol's eyes as she tried to steal my husband from my past life, it hit
00:03:07me.
00:03:08My vain little sister remembered everything too. She'd been reborn, just like me.
00:03:14Since your sister chose the Count's son, you go serve the old Count.
00:03:26I'm not marrying him.
00:03:28Only the old Count's wealth can bring our family back to the top.
00:03:32I gave you your beauty and you must make a sacrifice for the family!
00:03:38Only useless men sell their daughters for family glory!
00:03:42I'll say it again, I'm not marrying him!
00:03:47Father!
00:03:50Father, since my dear sister thinks she's too good for the old Count, why not just marry her off to
00:03:56that penniless trap on the corner?
00:03:58She's a useless piece of trash anyway, so they're a perfect match.
00:04:03You ungrateful wretch!
00:04:05If you don't marry the old Count, I'll do exactly what your sister suggested and toss you to that beggar
00:04:11like a stray dog!
00:04:19I know this choice is insane, but in this life, I refuse to be chained by power again.
00:04:28This man might just be my only salvation.
00:04:37As everyone wishes, I choose to marry you.
00:04:48Is she crazy? The eldest daughter of a baron passing up nobles to pick a lowly street rat?
00:04:59Leora! How dare you make such a shameful trim bring this massive disgrace upon our family!
00:05:04And you! What right does a filthy brat like you have to step foot in such a noble gathering?
00:05:09Get the hell out of here right now!
00:05:13That's enough, Father!
00:05:15He might be a nobody off the streets, but he's more genuine than any of you elites!
00:05:19To me, he's better than all of you combined!
00:05:21He's the man I chose and nobody gets to kick him out!
00:05:27What's your name?
00:05:29Will you marry me?
00:05:35I'm Rakus. Are you absolutely sure about this?
00:05:40My beautiful lady.
00:05:42In my last life, everyone envied my marriage into the highest tier of nobility and my life of luxury.
00:05:48But who knew the pain and despair hiding beneath those glamorous dresses?
00:05:53I'd rather marry a beggar than those rotten, hypercritical nobles.
00:05:57Oh, my God! Leora must have gone mad with jealousy over Issel snaggering the Count's son, driving her to make
00:06:06such a choice.
00:06:12Poor Leora. If you're really that desperate for my protection, how about being a good girl and becoming my mistress?
00:06:20I'd shower you in the finest silks and rubies. Definitely better than tagging along with this pathetic beggar.
00:06:25What?
00:06:36Since you love this piece of trash so much...
00:06:40Let me help you celebrate.
00:06:43Let's see if this magicless tramp burns to death!
00:06:58Isselad, that's enough! Your vulgar and insolent behaviour is what's truly dragging our family's name through the mud!
00:07:05My dear sister, your fiancΓ© doesn't even have the skills to put out a tiny fire! How useless!
00:07:13He's fine just the way he is. He doesn't wear your hyparticle masks.
00:07:19And he isn't full of your filthy schemes. I am willing to marry him.
00:07:24This girl sees past the elite's masquerade. That brilliant mind is exactly what belongs on the throne next to me.
00:07:32You shameless disgrace of a daughter!
00:07:34If you dare marry this worthless trash who's worse than a dog, I'll disown you right here and strip you
00:07:42of the Valorius name!
00:07:49As you wish.
00:07:50From this day forward, I, Lyora, have nothing to do with the Valorius family.
00:07:55But I am still marrying him.
00:08:03Did you mean everything you just said?
00:08:06I have absolutely nothing, not even a decent set of clothes. Are you seriously gonna marry me?
00:08:10I meant every single word. I want to live the simplest life with you. The wedding is in three days.
00:08:17Will you accept?
00:08:19Of course. I'll be there in three days, right on time.
00:08:26I promise I will never let you endure hardship with me.
00:08:29Even if he really is just a tramp, his eyes are full of nothing but sincerity and tender.
00:08:35Unlike those fake nobles via schemes and arrogance, I know I made the right choice.
00:08:44This dress is too plain. Am I really supposed to let her walk down the aisle in this?
00:08:49It's a complete insult to her.
00:08:51Your Highness, you're supposed to be a guy with nothing to his name.
00:08:54A bespoke gown covered in rare gems blows your cover instantly.
00:09:03I know the groom is supposed to handle the wedding dress, but with what little I have, this is the
00:09:07best I could do.
00:09:08I'm sorry for shortching you.
00:09:10Don't be silly. It might not be covered in diamonds, but it carries your true devotion.
00:09:16I absolutely adore it.
00:09:20After the wedding, let's settle in a sleepy town, build a little wooden house, and grow those white roses I
00:09:25love.
00:09:26None of that toxic elite drama. Just you and me, keeping things simple and sweet.
00:09:41I'm going to go get ready. See you in three days.
00:09:44I'm going to go get ready. See you in three days.
00:10:00I'm going to go get ready.
00:10:00You have my word.
00:10:09Lyra, father paid a thort for Morris, the Empire's premier tailor, to bless my wedding gown with magic.
00:10:18I painstakingly designed the magic Korra rays on this gown. It's the only way to match supreme glory of the
00:10:27Montworth family.
00:10:28This white dress was specially sent over by Rhaegar. No magic, no jewels, but I am completely happy with it.
00:10:35My dear sister, look at those rags on you. Did that punder dig up a burial shrub from some flea
00:10:42market in the black market?
00:11:11This is impossible!
00:11:15What kind of wicked dark magic is this?
00:11:17Oh my god.
00:11:19Could this be the legendary Saint Dragon Silk that vanished a whole century ago?
00:11:25Honored lady, only the future Empress of the Empire is worthy of wearing this divine gown.
00:11:31Who, who exactly are you?
00:11:37Impossible!
00:11:38How could a cheap slut like her possess a royal artifact?
00:11:42This has to be some cheap parlor trick!
00:11:46I couldn't have misread it.
00:11:48Saint Dragon Silk is a closely guarded royal treasure.
00:11:50Not even a duke has the right to touch it.
00:11:53Where, where on earth did you get this?
00:12:19Count Marcus, your presence truly brings immense honor to the Valeus' family.
00:12:25See that?
00:12:26This is the supreme glory that truly belongs to the nobility.
00:12:30Did your tramp of a fiancΓ© get scared and crawl back into the sewers?
00:12:40What a joke.
00:12:42That beggar definitely took one look at Count Marcus' grand entrance and ran for the hills.
00:12:50Leora!
00:12:51Where the hell is that piece of trash?
00:12:54Are you going to keep making a fool of us here?
00:12:57How did I ever raise such a shameless daughter?
00:13:01Oh, my dear sister, you are pitiful to the extreme.
00:13:04You threw away a life of luxury, and now even the lowest exile is disgusted by you and dumps you.
00:13:10You are an absolute laughingstock right now.
00:13:13I will absolutely not allow you to drag this family's honor through the mud on such an important day.
00:13:19Since that beggar ran off, you are going to marry the old Count immediately.
00:13:23At least that might salvage some of our family's dignity.
00:13:27Absolutely not.
00:13:29I've already made a vow to Ragon.
00:13:32He is the only man I'm marrying in this life.
00:13:35The family's face comes first.
00:13:36It's not up to you anymore.
00:13:38Today, I'm tossing you into the old Count's bed myself if I have to.
00:13:43Let go of me.
00:13:44I'm not going.
00:13:59Let her go.
00:14:03Oh, my God.
00:14:04Is that really the exile?
00:14:05Well, his aura, it's even more overbearing than a duke's.
00:14:13Damn it.
00:14:15How can a filthy beggar have such an aura?
00:14:22What are you doing?
00:14:24I'm sorry.
00:14:25I had to deal with some family errands on the way here.
00:14:28I kept you waiting.
00:14:34I'm sorry.
00:14:48This is the most precious heirloom my mother left me before she died.
00:14:52From this moment on, my life and my loyalty belong entirely to you.
00:14:56I swear, no matter if the future holds poverty or hardship, I will cherish it as much as I cherish
00:15:03my own life.
00:15:20By the God of Light, why does the totem on this ring look exactly like the Saint Dragon Ring worn
00:15:25by the previous queen as recorded in the temple's ancient texts?
00:15:29I must be drunk.
00:15:30I must be drunk.
00:15:30A poor nobody, stripped of his name, owning a royal treasure?
00:15:34Impossible.
00:15:35It's probably just a rusty piece of scrap metal.
00:15:42Your highness.
00:15:47Your highness.
00:15:49The rebels are beginning to make their move, and his majesty the king is in grave danger.
00:15:58Your highness?
00:16:00Who exactly are you?
00:16:11Why haven't you changed your dress yet?
00:16:13He just called you your highness.
00:16:16And what's this about rebels?
00:16:17What's going on?
00:16:19Leola said she wants a simple life.
00:16:21It's better if I take care of the rebels before telling her my true identity.
00:16:25In the harsh northern exile lands, the one with the hardest fists gets to be king.
00:16:28The boys are just used to teasing me with that old title.
00:16:31As for the rebels, they're just thugs trying to steal our turf.
00:16:35Did something happen?
00:16:36There is indeed an urgent matter I need to handle.
00:16:40I'm so sorry, but I promise to be back as soon as possible.
00:16:51We need to resolve this mess immediately.
00:16:54Pass down the order.
00:16:55Pick out the grandest apology gift and have it sent to the Baron's estate.
00:16:59My wife absolutely will not be wronged.
00:17:02Yes, your highness.
00:17:30Well, well.
00:17:31Isn't this our noble exile's wife?
00:17:35What's wrong?
00:17:36Did your peever husband dump you right after getting married?
00:17:41Don't tell me you secretly gave him some money to hire him to put on a show with you.
00:17:47Now that the act is over, he took the cash and ran off.
00:17:51Are you done talking?
00:17:52Can I leave now?
00:17:53No, you know that.
00:17:54You probably have to do something else.
00:17:56You are.
00:17:59Lyorla!
00:18:00You're causing me trouble again.
00:18:02That piece of trap abandoned you at the ball and humiliated this entire family.
00:18:06Don't be angry, my lord.
00:18:09Lyorla just isn't as capable as our Isildur.
00:18:12We found such a wonderful patron in the count.
00:18:32The count is truly too generous.
00:18:35It is the absolute honor of our entire family that Isildur could form this union with you.
00:18:42Take a good look.
00:18:44Did you see that?
00:18:45That is power.
00:18:47I bet your tramp couldn't even afford a single gift for your family and scurried back to the slums, didn't
00:18:54he?
00:18:54Raheola had an emergency to attend to.
00:18:56He'll be back soon.
00:18:58As long as he treats me with genuine sincerity.
00:19:01I don't care about any of these things.
00:19:05Bullshit!
00:19:06He can't even produce a decent gift.
00:19:09He's a complete fraud!
00:19:11The Vavallossus family absolutely refuses to recognize this marriage!
00:19:21The Royal Protocol Department...
00:19:23Why are they here?
00:19:26And with so many treasures!
00:19:29By Royal Decree,
00:19:31for the esteemed Bride,
00:19:33Leora,
00:19:34we hereby stow
00:19:35100,000 top three star magic crystals.
00:19:39Three volumes of high-tier magic scrolls
00:19:43lost for a century
00:19:44and a bushel of deep-sea
00:19:46merfish-tier pearls
00:19:48as a wedding gift
00:19:50to the Velodius family.
00:19:56Please open the box for inspection.
00:20:00What?
00:20:03Oh my god.
00:20:05Since when did the Baron's family have royal connections?
00:20:08Could that exile
00:20:09actually be some powerful figure in disguise?
00:20:14What on earth is going on?
00:20:17Did Raius really send these gifts?
00:20:20Shut up, all of you!
00:20:22Think about it!
00:20:23How could a beggar
00:20:24who can't even afford a meal
00:20:26order around the Royal Protocol Department?
00:20:28Duke Marcus's father
00:20:30is the chief inquisitor of the Empire
00:20:31and is deeply valued by his majesty.
00:20:34The Royal Family obviously sent this reward to us
00:20:36out of respect for the Duke.
00:20:38This trifling gift
00:20:39is just a small token
00:20:41of the Royal Family's appreciation
00:20:42for the Monthold family.
00:20:44There will only be more rewards like this
00:20:47in the future.
00:20:48No matter how capable Rashian is,
00:20:50he couldn't possibly summon
00:20:52the Royal Protocol Department.
00:20:53there must be some mistake.
00:20:57Now,
00:20:58I'll open it
00:21:00and show you
00:21:00what real power looks like.
00:21:20Marcus!
00:21:48How is this possible?
00:21:50You must have secretly learned
00:21:51some wicked witchcraft
00:21:52and just got lucky!
00:21:54How could an exile's wife
00:21:56break a Royal Seal?
00:22:09Exactly!
00:22:10To fully break a Royal Seal,
00:22:12you need pure bloodlines
00:22:14like my father's.
00:22:15I was repelced
00:22:16because I only used
00:22:17half of my bloodline power just now.
00:22:20This crazy woman
00:22:21definitely just got lucky.
00:22:24So that's it!
00:22:26Count Marcus is right!
00:22:28How could such a heavy
00:22:29royal treasure be meant
00:22:30for the wife of an exile?
00:22:32Leora,
00:22:33you just want to show off
00:22:34at every turn.
00:22:36Marrying an exile
00:22:37and then trying to show off
00:22:39with someone else's reward?
00:22:41You make me sick!
00:22:51follow me!
00:22:52Follow me!
00:22:52We ride
00:22:53to welcome the queen
00:22:54back to the palace!
00:22:55Yes!
00:22:56Yes!
00:22:58Yes!
00:22:58Yes!
00:22:58Yes!
00:22:58Yes!
00:22:59Yes!
00:22:59Yes!
00:23:01Yes!
00:23:02Yes!
00:23:03Yes!
00:23:04Yes!
00:23:05You only did you marry
00:23:06a filthy beggar.
00:23:07You actually dared
00:23:08to use witchcraft
00:23:09to ruin your sister's moment!
00:23:11How did I ever
00:23:12raise a daughter like you?
00:23:14You made me live
00:23:15in a leaky attic,
00:23:16let my stepmother
00:23:17cut my rations,
00:23:19and even tried
00:23:20to sell me off
00:23:21like livestock
00:23:21to that brutal old count
00:23:23for a bit of coin.
00:23:25From the very beginning,
00:23:26you've never treated me
00:23:27like a daughter!
00:23:29Shut up!
00:23:30You damn ungrateful wretch!
00:23:32You damn ungrateful wretch!
00:23:54This is the royal family's
00:23:57exclusive saint dragon totem?
00:24:09Leora, how dare you forge a royal totem
00:24:13That is a capital offense that will destroy this entire family
00:24:17Are you trying to get us all killed?
00:24:19I'm going to destroy this piece of junk right now
00:24:22Stop!
00:24:25You want it bad?
00:24:27Fine, just give me a deep bow right now
00:24:31Apolishize loudly for stealing my spotlight earlier
00:24:34And I'll return it
00:24:40I'm sorry
00:24:41I offended you earlier
00:24:44Now please, give it back
00:24:53I changed my mind
00:24:55Since you insist it isn't a fake
00:24:58Then prove your innocence by the laws of the Count's house
00:25:14If you dare to walk barefoot across this path of heart-burning thorns
00:25:22I'll give the Ray-Ban
00:25:25How bad?
00:25:27In my past life, I suffered inhuman torture in the Duke's estate
00:25:31The pain of betrayed by my closest kin
00:25:34Was a thousand times worse than this poisonous thornfire
00:25:57Rhea, I will get back the ring you gave me
00:26:00No matter what
00:26:03The thorn's poison sank deep into my flesh
00:26:07The magic fire felt like a thousand needles
00:26:10Drilling through my bones and into my skull
00:26:13Every breath I took tasted like blood
00:26:16My vision was already blown
00:26:20But I couldn't stop
00:26:21I couldn't fall
00:26:32I made it across
00:26:33Give me back the ring
00:26:55My dear sister
00:26:57You really are a perfectly obedient dog
00:27:01What a pity
00:27:03I changed my mind
00:27:12That ring is a relic from Reyes' mother
00:27:15His most cherished possession
00:27:22I can't just watch these hypocritical demons destroy it
00:27:29Since you can't bear to part with this piece of junk
00:27:32Then go straight to hell with it
00:27:39I have no strength left to dodge
00:27:42Raheus, I'm so sorry
00:27:44I did my best
00:28:01Impossible
00:28:02My magic
00:28:03How did it drop to zero in an instant?
00:28:10Mariel
00:28:12I knew you would come
00:28:15You
00:28:16How dare you
00:28:18Hurt my lover
00:28:30Leora
00:28:32I'm too late
00:28:34Raya
00:28:35I didn't lose your token
00:28:39Reyes, you filthy street rat
00:28:42How dare you trespass onto a baron's territory with your thugs
00:28:45Insolent
00:28:46How dare you disrespect His Highness the Prince
00:28:54Absurd
00:28:55How does a beggar suddenly turn into a prince?
00:28:59But those really are royal guards
00:29:01And that's the royal dragon totem
00:29:03My lord
00:29:05Let low class hard tricks confuse you
00:29:07This tramp definitely stole a bag of gold
00:29:10Hired a bunch of wild mercery from the hake market
00:29:12And dressed them in fake armor to intimidate us
00:29:15Exactly
00:29:16He's nothing but a beggar
00:29:24So that's it
00:29:25What a blazing fraud
00:29:26How dare you hire cheap mercenaries to impersonate royal knights
00:29:29Sister, you are truly pathetic
00:29:31Your tramp of a husband actually dared to blaspheme the royal crown
00:29:34Just to salvage his laughable pride
00:29:36Just wait, there won't even be intact corpses left of you
00:29:39You are the ones blaspheming the crown
00:29:50How dare you
00:29:52Vumis
00:29:53I merely took a trashy ring
00:29:55Leora was the one who insisted on charging into the magic array
00:29:58How stupid
00:29:59Watch your mouth
00:30:01Despicable tramp
00:30:02You've already committed a felony by breaking into the baron's estate
00:30:05And now you have the goal to disrespect a noble
00:30:08Exactly
00:30:09For the dignity of the nobility, they must be executed
00:30:13Guards, hear my command
00:30:15Arrest all these frauds
00:30:19No, don't
00:30:21In the name of the royal crown
00:30:24Arrest these traitors
00:30:26Loyalty until death
00:30:44Marcus, save me
00:30:46You lunatic
00:30:47Tell them to stop
00:30:48The Count's estate will never let you get away with this
00:30:52Leora
00:30:53Are you trying to drag the entire baron's estate down to the grave with you
00:30:57Lord Marcus is an imperial count
00:31:00A count
00:31:02You hurt Leora
00:31:04So you'd better be prepared to die
00:31:08Vile street rat
00:31:10How dare you offend a noble
00:31:12You're dead meat
00:31:13Leora
00:31:14You are an absolute disgrace to this family
00:31:18Hurry up and kneel down to apologize to Count Marcus
00:31:21You reduced Leora to this state
00:31:24And I'm going to make you pay for it
00:31:26A hundredfold
00:31:27A hundredfold
00:31:37Bastard
00:31:37Let go of me
00:31:38My father is Cedric
00:31:41The chief inquisitor of the royal law enforcement
00:31:44If you dare touch a hair on my head
00:31:47You'll all be sent to the guillotine
00:31:50What?
00:31:51Finally know how to be scared?
00:31:53You commoner playing prince
00:31:55Get on your knees and lick my boots
00:31:57Maybe I'll show some mercy
00:31:58And ask my father to leave your corpse intact
00:32:02Cedric?
00:32:03I never imagined the royal court still harbored such scum
00:32:07Who'd let their own families work from the inside out
00:32:22Lord chief inquisitor
00:32:23That damned exile in Leora did all of this
00:32:26It has absolutely nothing to do with our baron's estate
00:32:29Father
00:32:30You're finally here
00:32:31Hurry and kill this beggar who's impersonating royalty
00:32:47Your highness
00:32:50Your highness
00:33:06Impossible
00:33:07He's just a lonely beggar
00:33:09Exactly
00:33:09Father
00:33:10This is all a paint disguise
00:33:12How could a real royal highness ever appear in some remote baron's estate?
00:33:17Those words made Cedric waver
00:33:18He began to carefully size Rachis up
00:33:21And my father chose that exact moment to instigate further
00:33:23They told Cedric that Rachis was nothing but a lowborn fraud
00:33:27Cedric was convinced
00:33:28He decided to make his move against Rachis
00:33:39Stand down
00:33:42Is this how the royal chief inquisitor enforces the law?
00:33:45Without distinguishing right from wrong?
00:33:47Are you even worthy of the title of inquisitor?
00:33:50Shut your mouth
00:33:52Despicable peasant
00:33:53Trampling on noble dignity is leaking the capital offense
00:33:56My father is an inquisitor personally pointed by his magister king
00:34:01You have no right to judge him
00:34:03I have no right?
00:34:05Do you have any idea what the consequences are for offending the royal crown?
00:34:11Your majesty
00:34:12His highness the prince is currently at Baron Karl's estate
00:34:15And he has even entered into a marriage contract with the baron's daughter
00:34:20That brat Rachis
00:34:22He's been away from the palace for so long
00:34:24And he actually went and found true love without making a peep
00:34:28I must go see for myself
00:34:31Exactly what kind of destined woman managed to capture my cold-hearted son's heart
00:34:44Cedric
00:34:45You abuse your power
00:34:46You are not fit to be the chief inquisitor
00:34:48How dare you insult the law enforcement?
00:34:52You've got a lot of nerve
00:34:59Lord inquisitor
00:35:01I beg you to see the truth
00:35:02We have absolutely nothing to do with this Leora
00:35:05From this moment on
00:35:06Our family severs all ties with Leora
00:35:09Lord inquisitor
00:35:10They offended the majesty of the royal crown
00:35:13They must be severely punished
00:35:15That's right father
00:35:16That lowly beggar forged a royal identity
00:35:19And blasphemed the crown
00:35:20He must be executed
00:35:22Rayan was in danger
00:35:24And it was all because of me
00:35:25I had to protect him
00:35:27Lord inquisitor
00:35:29Rayan did all of this because of me
00:35:31Please spare
00:35:35Leora
00:35:45Trying to escape
00:35:47Law enforcement knights
00:35:48Stop them
00:35:50Block these traitors
00:35:52Kill anyone
00:35:53Kill anyone who stands in our way
00:36:14Rhaiga no
00:36:21Rhaegha, how are you holding up?
00:36:23A lowly street rat could never trample on the dignity of nobles.
00:36:27Don't worry, he'll be dead any second now.
00:36:30Exactly! This is the price you have to pay.
00:36:42Just accept your fate like a good girl, my dear sister.
00:36:44Watching the man you love die right in front of you, doesn't it feel fantastic?
00:36:48I couldn't let Ryerson die, even if it meant throwing away my dignity, as long as Ryerson could live.
00:36:55I'm begging you, please let Rayolin go. I will take the blame for everything.
00:36:59Shut up, Leora. You are not allowed to beg them.
00:37:04Ryan, you got hurt because of me. I don't want you to die.
00:37:12What a tear-jerking couple. In that case, you can both just die together!
00:37:18Filthy trap. This is what happens when you cross me!
00:37:45Who dares touch my son on the soil of my empire?
00:37:49His majesty, the king!
00:37:53That son! Is the king calling that bregid his son?
00:37:58He really is his highness, the prince.
00:38:03Leora, what's wrong?
00:38:09Quickly! Have the chief priest come over immediately to heal the prince!
00:38:13Hurry and get Leora back for treatment.
00:38:15I want her completely safe and sound.
00:38:18Yes, your highness!
00:38:27Your highness, all the traitors have been apprehended.
00:38:30Please give the order for their punishment.
00:38:32My son, you...
00:38:37Son. Impossible. This is absolutely impossible.
00:38:41How could he be the prince?
00:38:43Isn't he a beggar?
00:38:44How could he be his highness, the prince?
00:38:46Execute all members of Baron Karl's household without delay.
00:38:50Your highness, spare my life.
00:38:53Chief Inquisitor Cedric, you have abused your power.
00:38:55From this moment on, you and Marcus are stripped of your titles and thrown into the Frost Dungeon to await
00:39:00trial.
00:39:01Your highness, spare us!
00:39:02Your majesty, spare us!
00:39:03It's all my fault!
00:39:04We truly had no idea of your highness' true identity!
00:39:07Just because you didn't know my identity,
00:39:09does that give you the right to trample on others' dignity so recklessly?
00:39:13Isley did all of this!
00:39:14She was behind it all!
00:39:15It has nothing to do with me!
00:39:16Marcus!
00:39:17You coward!
00:39:18You were the one who wanted to kill them all along!
00:39:21Your majesty, the king, I beg of you, please forgive us for the sake of our family's century of loyalty
00:39:25to the Empire.
00:39:26Enough!
00:39:28Raycon, executing Baron Karl's family is far too cruel.
00:39:31Just exile them to the Frostall Wasteland.
00:39:34As for Marcus and his father, stripping them of their titles is already the most severe punishment.
00:39:40Father, my child, that girl is still waiting for you to take care of her.
00:39:45You may go.
00:40:00Leora, you're finally awake.
00:40:02I have no idea what exactly happened that day, but I remember someone saved us.
00:40:08How are you feeling?
00:40:10Don't worry, we're safe now.
00:40:12The priest has already healed us, so just get some rest.
00:40:15Raycon, where are we?
00:40:16What on earth is going on?
00:40:18The king saved us.
00:40:20The king!
00:40:25Father, I want Leora to be my queen.
00:40:30But Leora is merely a Baron's daughter.
00:40:33If she becomes queen, many will stand in your way.
00:40:37She risked her own life to protect me.
00:40:40Besides, Leora and I have already sealed our marriage pact.
00:40:44She will be my queen.
00:40:46She will be my queen, no matter what.
00:40:50Very well.
00:40:52I'm glad you found true love.
00:40:54However, according to royal custom,
00:40:57a commoner must pass the royal trial to wear the queen's crown.
00:41:02I accept.
00:41:05But I have one condition.
00:41:09Until Leora passes the trial, you must never reveal your true identity to her.
00:41:16Otherwise, she will fail the trial and lose the right to be queen.
00:41:22You have my word.
00:41:24Right before I passed out, I clearly heard someone address Rhaegar.
00:41:28Your Highness!
00:41:29Yes, Your Highness!
00:41:30Rhaegar, right before I blacked out, didn't they call you Your Highness?
00:41:34And didn't the king call you his son?
00:41:39You misheard.
00:41:40It was because of this old royal armor I'm wearing.
00:41:43They mistook me for a member of the royal family.
00:41:45The king cleared up the misunderstanding later.
00:41:48What about my family and Marcus?
00:41:50Baron Carl's entire family was exiled to the Frostfall Wasteland.
00:41:54And Marcus and Cedric have been stripped of their title.
00:41:58Leora, let me protect you from now on.
00:42:01The king has settled us in Duke Edmund's castle.
00:42:04I've been enlisted in the knight's army.
00:42:06And you'll be working as a maid in the Duke's estate.
00:42:09When I'm not around, the power hidden inside this ring will protect you.
00:42:16Get up right now and scrub the stables, you new piece of trash.
00:42:20Or I'll skin you alive!
00:42:22But the whip stopped dead in mid-air.
00:42:25I realized Martha was terrified of Rhaegar.
00:42:36My lord, I was blind to not see who you are.
00:42:39I'll take my leave at once.
00:42:46I have to report to the barracks now.
00:42:48Wait for me in the castle.
00:42:51Lady Catherine, you are Duke Edmund's daughter.
00:42:54And the prince is the man you've set your sights on.
00:42:57We can't let this cheap maid taint him.
00:43:13Leora, your job is to tend to these flowers.
00:43:17You bitch!
00:43:19This is Lady Catherine's garden.
00:43:20Get your filthy hands off those flowers right now!
00:43:25Lady Catherine, Leora is...
00:43:30She is nothing but a lowly maid.
00:43:32Anyone who tramples my garden must be punished.
00:43:38Slut!
00:43:38Go clean the stables in the backyard.
00:43:40Don't even think about eating until it's done!
00:43:53What do you think you're doing?
00:43:54I assigned her.
00:43:54What will you have to touch her?
00:43:56Know your place, housekeeper.
00:43:57A lowly slave is supposed to do the dirty work.
00:43:59This is Lady Catherine's order.
00:44:01Martha wanted to stand up for me, but Lady Catherine is the Duke's daughter.
00:44:04There was nothing she could do, and I didn't want Martha making enemies because of me.
00:44:08I accept the punishment.
00:44:23Take a break.
00:44:25Take a break.
00:44:25If you keep this up, your hands will be ruined.
00:44:27Let me help you.
00:44:41Lady Catherine ordered that she must finish it all by herself.
00:44:48You idiot!
00:44:49You have no idea who she is!
00:44:52Her husband is...
00:44:56A mere housekeeper dares to yell at me?
00:44:59Since your heart bleeds for her so much, you can get punished right alongside...
00:45:29Lady Catherine, this ring is engraved with a royal totem.
00:45:34This belongs to the prince.
00:45:36Tina, you know what to do.
00:45:39Something like this shouldn't be in the hands of a cheap maid.
00:45:47This ring belongs to a noble!
00:45:49You filthy bitch!
00:45:50You thief!
00:45:51How dare you steal!
00:45:58I wasn't going to lose the ring from this time, no matter what.
00:46:01You cheap thief!
00:46:03Since you want it so badly, I'll burn you and this ring to ashes together!
00:46:27You worthless slave!
00:46:28How dare you lay a hand on me!
00:46:36Set up the stake immediately!
00:46:39I want her dead right now!
00:46:41Yes, Lady Catherine.
00:46:43They're going to kill the prince's wife?
00:46:45No!
00:46:46I have to report this to the duke immediately!
00:46:50Duke Edmund, I hope you don't mind that I've settled Leora in your castle for her trial.
00:46:57Rest assured, your majesty.
00:46:58She is the prince's wife, after all.
00:47:01I will take good care of her.
00:47:03Terrible news!
00:47:04Lady Catherine has lost her mind!
00:47:06She's tying Lady Liva to the stake to burn her alive!
00:47:25Look at you, you lowly bug.
00:47:28You're about to be turned to ashes.
00:47:33Stop!
00:47:34Put out that fire!
00:47:39How dare you speak to me!
00:47:42This lowly slave stole a noble's magic ring.
00:47:45By law, she deserves to burn at the stake.
00:47:48No one is going to stop this.
00:47:50You!
00:47:50You rebellious wretch!
00:47:52Shut your mouth!
00:47:55The duke lunged forward like a madman and slapped Catherine hard across the face.
00:48:00Father!
00:48:02You're hitting me over some cheap slave!
00:48:07Do you have any idea who she is?
00:48:14She's nothing but a maid!
00:48:17I don't care!
00:48:18She has to die today!
00:48:19I'm going to burn her to ashes!
00:48:22I'm going to burn her to ashes!
00:48:26Father!
00:48:27What's possessed you?
00:48:28Why would you hit me to protect a pathetic maid?
00:48:31She stole from a noble!
00:48:41Nonsense!
00:48:42It hasn't been proven that she stole the ring!
00:48:45This concerns the reputation of the Duke's estate!
00:48:48We must investigate this thoroughly!
00:48:56This slut must have used some bewitching trick to beguile all of you!
00:49:02For the dignity of the nobility, you lowly slave must die today!
00:49:07No!
00:49:08No!
00:49:10No!
00:49:10No!
00:49:12No!
00:49:15No!
00:49:17No!
00:49:17No!
00:49:17No!
00:49:24No!
00:49:27No!
00:49:28No!
00:49:30No!
00:49:31No!
00:49:34No!
00:49:35No!
00:49:37No!
00:49:37No!
00:49:37No!
00:49:38Leora, are you okay?
00:49:40Leaning against his chest, tears spilled from my eyes, but panic quickly set in.
00:49:45Rhaegar had laid hands on the Duke's daughter just to save him.
00:49:48Rhaegar, are you crazy?
00:49:50This is the Duke's territory.
00:49:52Trespassing and injuring the Duke's daughter is a capital fence.
00:49:57Lord Duke, have mercy!
00:50:00It's all my fault. I'll take all the blame. Please let him go.
00:50:03Leora!
00:50:04As long as I could save his life, I was willing to give up.
00:50:08Everything.
00:50:12My lord, I admit to my crimes. Please forgive me.
00:50:19Rhaegar and I knelt in the driving snow, waiting for our punishment.
00:50:25You injured my daughter, and by the rules, you must be severely punished.
00:50:31I sentence Leora to three days of confinement in the Frost Cellar.
00:50:35Thank you for your mercy, Lord Duke.
00:50:37I never expected the punishment to be so light.
00:50:40Just three days of confinement.
00:50:42I happily cow-toed to thank the Duke.
00:50:48Seeing that I was safe, Rhaegar left once again.
00:50:53The Frost Cellar was freezing.
00:50:55But to my surprise, Martha brought me a heavy coat and a brazier.
00:51:08Didn't the Duke send me here to be punished?
00:51:11The Duke specifically ordered me to take good care of you.
00:51:14Just rest easy for these three days and let your wounds heal.
00:51:17Martha and the Duke's attitude toward me felt so strange.
00:51:21What in the world was going on?
00:51:26My lords, Leora has been settled in.
00:51:29The brazier and food have all been prepared.
00:51:31You may leave.
00:51:37Father Leora was almost burned alive today.
00:51:40How much longer does this damn trial have to go on?
00:51:45Ragian, the trial has reached its final stage.
00:51:48Once she passes my test, you can announce to the entire Empire that Leora is your queen.
00:51:54She will absolutely pass.
00:51:56I believe in her.
00:51:58I thought I was living peacefully, completely unaware.
00:52:02That the danger had never stopped.
00:52:05Why on earth does a cheap slave get to enjoy a brazier and good food while locked in the cellar?
00:52:13Lady Catherine, should we make our move?
00:52:16This time, I want to watch her get torn to shreds with my own eyes.
00:52:25Is everything ready?
00:52:27Don't worry, my lady.
00:52:29I've starved them for three days and three nights.
00:52:47I could faintly hear some blood-drecking grounds, but I didn't see anything unusual.
00:53:00Go on, rip her to shreds.
00:53:03Go on, rip her to shreds.
00:53:32The cellar's iron door was forced open.
00:53:35Catherine's twisted face emerged from the shadows, with Tina behind her, tightly gripping a thick iron chain.
00:53:43Catherine!
00:53:44What else do you want?
00:53:45The duke has already handed down my punishment.
00:53:49You can't just do whatever you want!
00:53:53Do you really think my father would go against my wishes for a lowly slave?
00:54:00Tina was holding back three massive, vicious wolves.
00:54:09Release them!
00:54:11Let my darlings have a good taste of this peasant's flesh!
00:54:20Terror instantly flooded my mind, pale-faced.
00:54:24I kept backing away, until a stone tripped me, and I fell.
00:54:34Enjoy your final moments.
00:54:36I'll come collect your corpse first thing tomorrow morning.
00:54:40There was no way out, and Reyes wasn't here.
00:54:43Watching the savage wolves close in, I closed my eyes in total despair.
00:55:04I waited hopelessly for death to come, but the pain I expected never arrived.
00:55:08A beam of holy light appeared right in front of me.
00:55:19I recognized him.
00:55:20He was the old man who spoke up for me at the square.
00:55:23You're the old man who was with the duke.
00:55:26Why did you save me?
00:55:32Give it back!
00:55:33That's Reyes' token to me!
00:55:38I'll come back to you.
00:55:39This is a sacred blood path,
00:55:41as long as you swear in blood to leave your pathetic tramp of a husband forever.
00:55:46Not only will you walk out of here alive,
00:55:49but you'll also receive endless wealth.
00:55:52But if you refuse, and insist on choosing this ring,
00:55:56you will die in this ice cellar, just like those three wolves.
00:56:01He gave me two choices.
00:56:03On one side, power and wealth.
00:56:05On the other, death and a beggar who had absolutely nothing.
00:56:09It was a cruel test.
00:56:15My choice is...
00:56:17My choice is...
00:56:24But compared to losing Rhaegar,
00:56:26all this power and wealth meant absolutely nothing.
00:56:29I don't care about your wealth.
00:56:32I only want him.
00:56:38Even if I die here, I will never abandon Rhaegon.
00:56:43Do it.
00:56:47I made my choice, and I saw him cast a spell.
00:56:51I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for the end.
00:56:58Congratulations, Leora.
00:57:01You have passed the trial.
00:57:03Trial?
00:57:05What on earth are you talking about?
00:57:07You are brave and loyal.
00:57:10Now, I will tell you the whole truth.
00:57:23Damn it!
00:57:25Why does someone always save this cheap slave?
00:57:28My lady, the frost magic core that sustains this teller is buried right underneath.
00:57:34If we detonate it, the entire cellar will cave in, and no one can save them.
00:57:45Good!
00:57:47She must die today.
00:57:49Detonate it right now!
00:57:50Now, I'm going to blow them to pieces!
00:58:03Actually...
00:58:04Rhaeguses.
00:58:05The old man was about to tell me the truth, but suddenly, the ground beneath my feet started shaking.
00:58:11What's going on?
00:58:12An earthquake?
00:58:13Get out!
00:58:13Quick!
00:58:14Neither of us had time to react.
00:58:16A terrifying force surged from beneath us, throwing me off balance and hard onto the ground.
00:58:22Before I could process it, and a devastating explosion shattered the stone floor from below.
00:58:27Boulders came crashing down on us.
00:58:29I was paralyzed on the ground with nowhere to run, but the old man threw himself in front of me,
00:58:35and cast a protection spell.
00:58:37But the force of the collapse was too terrifying.
00:58:40Countless huge rocks smashed against the magic barrier, with a sickening cracking sound,
00:58:45and the old man was severely injured because of it.
00:58:48The magic barrier completely shattered under the relentless bombardment of boulders.
00:58:54An avalanche of falling rocks, and heavy chunks of ice instantly buried up.
00:59:01The Selen was reduced to ruins.
00:59:04Luckily, we survived.
00:59:06The old man had been crushed by a boulder while trying to save me.
00:59:09He was bleeding profusely.
00:59:15I had a little bit of healing magic to help him.
00:59:31Ryaga, your judgment is right.
00:59:34This is the Empire's most perfect queen.
00:59:37I poured everything into healing him, hoping we could hold on until rescue arrived.
00:59:47That direction is the cellar.
00:59:50Leora!
00:59:56It's finally over.
00:59:57That lowly slave and that meddlesome fool are dead under this pile of rubble.
01:00:02With a collapse this severe, they won't even find a single bone.
01:00:16What?
01:00:18What did you do to the people inside?
01:00:20I had Tina detonate the magic core.
01:00:24They must be crushed flat by the rocks.
01:00:27It's just a filthy slave.
01:00:29Why are you so freaked out?
01:00:31You lunatic!
01:00:32Quick, order everyone to dig right now.
01:00:35If we don't save them, our entire family will suffer unimaginable consequences.
01:00:40Father, have you lost your mind?
01:00:42They're just cheap slaves.
01:00:44Who cares if they die?
01:00:53Father, you...
01:01:08Where is she?
01:01:10Where is Leora?
01:01:19I heard Raius' voice.
01:01:21He came to save me.
01:01:23Where is Leora?
01:01:25What happened to her?
01:01:27Your Highness, are you looking for that lowly slave?
01:01:30Stop looking!
01:01:31She and that meddlesome old man are buried under this pile of rocks.
01:01:36They're dead and gone!
01:01:38Your Highness, I will send men to rescue them immediately.
01:01:44I'm going to bury you with them!
01:01:46Your Highness, why are you raising arms against me over a lowly slave?
01:01:51All of you are turning against me for that slave.
01:01:53A slave?
01:01:54She is the future Queen of the Empire.
01:01:57And that old man you buried down there with her is my father.
01:02:01The King of the Empire!
01:02:04The Queen and the King?
01:02:05Oh my God, what have we done?
01:02:07No!
01:02:10Your entire family can prepare to join them in the grave!
01:02:17Regan!
01:02:18Regan!
01:02:18I'm here!
01:02:23Regan noticed my cry for help.
01:02:46Thank the gods, you're alive.
01:02:48Leaning into his familiar embrace, the sheer willpower I had been running on, finally relaxed.
01:02:57If this child hadn't risked her life to cast healing magic on me, I would already be a corpse.
01:03:05It was simply the right thing to do.
01:03:07It was simply the right thing to do.
01:03:11Suddenly, the old man transformed.
01:03:20His clothes, his face, he was the King of the Empire.
01:03:24It really is the King!
01:03:29What have I done?
01:03:31The King looked at me gently and declared that I had passed the royal trial.
01:03:36Leora, congratulations.
01:03:39You have passed the royal trial.
01:03:42A trial?
01:03:43Just as I was feeling confused, Rion told me the truth.
01:03:48I'm sorry for hiding my identity.
01:03:51I am the Prince of the Empire, and you are the only one I acknowledge as my Queen.
01:03:56Rhaegar told me that to become the Queen, one must pass the royal trial.
01:04:01And as of this moment, I had passed it.
01:04:05His Majesty handed down the punishment to the Duke and the others.
01:04:09Your Majesty!
01:04:10My daughter Catherine was foolish.
01:04:12Please spare her life.
01:04:14I am willing to accept any punishment.
01:04:16Then half of your territory shall be stripped from you as punishment.
01:04:22Thank you, Your Majesty!
01:04:25Raffaeus had saved me once again.
01:04:28He took me away from the castle, deciding to bring me home and announce my existence to the entire Empire.
01:04:42Leora, to become the Queen, you must possess a soul that bends to no power.
01:04:47This is a centuries-old royal tradition.
01:04:50It was never my intention to deceive you.
01:04:53Can you forgive me?
01:04:55The royal trial was cruel and ruthless, but the look in his eyes held only pure love.
01:05:01Seeing his tense face filled with guilt, I chose to forgive him.
01:05:05Rhaean, I love you for who you are, whether you're an exile or a prince.
01:05:10As long as you don't betray me, I'm willing to stand by your side.
01:05:18Leora, my wife, I love you.
01:05:38Since Leora has passed the royal trial, there's no need to wait.
01:05:42Pass down my decree.
01:05:44Begin preparations for the grandest royal wedding immediately.
01:05:47Your Majesty, thank you so much for your kindness, but a wedding isn't necessary.
01:05:52Rhaucas and I have already made our vows in the church.
01:05:55Though it was a simple ceremony, it's the most precious memory of my life.
01:06:00Since Rhaecas has chosen you, I won't let you suffer any more grievances.
01:06:05This is what you deserve.
01:06:09It's all right, Leora.
01:06:11You deserve the best this world has to offer.
01:06:13I want to announce to the whole continent that you are the one and only future lady of Arthurian Empire.
01:06:22Right, whatever you say.
01:06:27The date is set for the holy fire sacrifice in three days.
01:06:32I want to personally crown you under the witness of all our people and the gods.
01:06:47Looking up at the solemn temple, I couldn't stop feeling nervous.
01:06:51In my past life, I endured endless cold stares and schemes from the nobles here, and even lost my life.
01:06:58This time, I have someone by my side.
01:07:04I've waited too long for this day.
01:07:06Today, under the witness of the holy fire, I'm going to announce to the whole continent
01:07:11that you are my one and only love and the sole queen of the empire.
01:07:16The royal rules are so strict.
01:07:19I'm afraid I might's up at this grand ceremony, and it'll reflect badly on you.
01:07:25Silly.
01:07:26With me here, you don't need to bow your head to anyone, much less worry about a thing.
01:07:31Leave everything to me, and get ready to embrace the glory that belongs to you.
01:07:58Something urgent came up that I need to handle right now.
01:08:01Take this runestone and go straight to the oracle's prime seat, on the top floor of that temple, and wait
01:08:06for me.
01:08:07That seat belongs only to you.
01:08:11Okay, I'll wait for you there.
01:08:15I know that when he next appears in front of everyone, he will be the sole prince of Arthurian,
01:08:20and I will be at the very top, waiting for my husband to come home.
01:08:39Without regard by my side, the nobles who once tried to trample me underfoot were once again giving me greedy
01:08:44and disdainful looks.
01:08:45But I didn't feel a sin of fear anymore.
01:08:48The runestone Rhaegar gave me led me straight to the oracle's prime seat.
01:08:52So this is the place he prepared for me.
01:08:54Stop right there.
01:08:56The queen's restricted area is ahead.
01:08:58Not even a duchess would dare step foot here without a royal decree.
01:09:01What gives a woman without even a noble crust the right to go up?
01:09:03I had no idea I needed to wear a crest.
01:09:06My husband arranged this seat for me.
01:09:13Oh my god, did I hear that right?
01:09:15Your husband, who didn't even have a noble crest, set you up with the queen's exclusive seat.
01:09:19You've got to be joking.
01:09:20A commoner literally throwing her life away for vanity, spouting such a massive in the temple.
01:09:25Do you want the inquisition guard to hang you on the spot?
01:09:30This is the proof my husband gave me.
01:09:47This is the unique royal mark.
01:09:50Who exactly are you?
01:09:52Just as I was about to tell them who the owner of this runestone was,
01:09:55a wildly arrogant laugh, dripping with raging malice, interrupted me.
01:09:59Leora!
01:10:00Long time no see!
01:10:02I thought I was seeing things, but it really is you!
01:10:05Mia, daughter of Duke Hestia.
01:10:08Before the Valoricious family completely fell from grace, she used to be my old neighbor.
01:10:13She loved throwing herself around at major banquets, desperately trying to marry her way up the social ladder.
01:10:21I heard you married an exile stripped of his name.
01:10:25What?
01:10:25Are you so desperate now that you're stealing royal tokens and coming to a place like this to seduce men?
01:10:31I've never had such filthy thoughts.
01:10:33I'm standing here simply because this seat belongs to me.
01:10:37Still lying.
01:10:39Do you really think you can catch the royal family's attention with some fake stolen runstone?
01:10:44His Highness the Prince is so noble, he'd never bap an eye at a bottom-flitter like you who hangs
01:10:51around with exiles.
01:10:52The Duke's family is currently deeply favored by his majesty.
01:10:55Only someone with noble blood like Lady Mia is worthy of the royal family.
01:10:59Exactly. Who knows? After today's sacrifice ceremony, Lady Mia might just become the future queen of the empire.
01:11:05There's no room for a peasant like you to make a fool of yourself here.
01:11:07If they only knew that the exile they've been trampling on and humiliating was the very prince they revere so
01:11:12much,
01:11:13the look on their faces would be absolutely priceless.
01:11:17Is that so?
01:11:19Are you really that confident that you can become the queen?
01:11:25Mind your own business!
01:11:27Even if that queen's throne isn't mine,
01:11:30it definitely won't go to a lower-class peasant like you!
01:11:34Don't think I don't know your game.
01:11:36You sneak into the temple with a fake runstone just to find a chance to seduce His Highness the Prince.
01:11:41You're so shameless!
01:11:43In Mia's mind,
01:11:44the only reason a woman would try so hard to stand here is to sell herself for power.
01:11:49She doesn't get it at all.
01:11:51I couldn't care less about any of that.
01:11:53Look, everyone!
01:11:54Lyora Velatis threw away her noble status to marry a penless, disgraced exiled.
01:11:59She definitely reeks of a cursed stench!
01:12:06Good heavens!
01:12:07How did an exiled's family member get into the temple?
01:12:10Look at how ragged she is.
01:12:12She's practically polluting this holy ground.
01:12:14No wonder I felt a foul aura getting near her.
01:12:16Kick her out right now before her dilty curse rubs off on us!
01:12:20Guards!
01:12:21What are you standing around for?
01:12:23Grab this wretch and toss her out of the temple right now!
01:12:35Open your eyes and take a good look.
01:12:37Look, this is a top-gear royal token.
01:12:40Let's see who dares touch me today.
01:12:44You idiots!
01:12:45This is just some junk a street rat uses to scam people!
01:12:49Don't let this lying bitch fool you!
01:12:52Give it back!
01:12:55Oops!
01:12:56I'm so sorry.
01:12:58My hand slipped.
01:13:00This stone might actually command royal authority, but to me it's just my husband's token of love.
01:13:06Mia didn't just smash a rock.
01:13:08She smashed her own family's lifeline.
01:13:12Mia, I promise you, you're going to regret this foolish act today.
01:13:15Regret?
01:13:17That's hilarious!
01:13:18I smashed a piece of trash you picked up from the street.
01:13:22So what?
01:13:23What are you going to demand?
01:13:25I buy you a throne in return?
01:13:33Guards!
01:13:35As the daughter of a duke, I order you to throw this crazy woman out immediately!
01:13:44Since Lady Mia gave the order, get out, you crazy woman!
01:13:48You have no right to kick me out of the temple.
01:13:50The Holy Fire Sacrifice is a sacred moment for the Empire that only happens once a century.
01:13:55If you screw up the ceremony, can you afford to take the blame?
01:13:59You bitch!
01:14:00I'm going to teach you a lesson today!
01:14:03Please calm down, Lady Mia.
01:14:04She's right.
01:14:05The Sacrifice Ceremony allows every citizen of the Empire to attend.
01:14:08We really don't have the authority to throw her out.
01:14:10The ceremony is about to start, and His Highness the Prince will arrive at any moment.
01:14:14If you make a scene now and disturb him, it'll mean big trouble.
01:14:18Consider yourself lucky.
01:14:20But if you're staying for the ceremony, you need to stay where you belong.
01:14:24Kick her to the commoner's area at the very back.
01:14:27It's filthy and rubbed down.
01:14:30Completely fitting for her.
01:14:34Don't let her stench of poverty offend His Highness the Prince.
01:14:38Normally, I'd never let her humiliate me like this.
01:14:41But today is different.
01:14:44Rayon prepared for this ceremony for far too long.
01:14:47I can't ruin his plans just for a moment of spite.
01:14:49You don't need to push me.
01:14:51I can walk myself.
01:14:54I'll make you all understand that your true identity doesn't change just because of where you sit.
01:14:59You'll regret this soon enough.
01:15:06If it were my past life, I'd probably think this was a massive humiliation.
01:15:10But now, compared to the hypocritical scheming up in the noble seats, I actually feel at ease here.
01:15:16Maya always thinks a seating arrangement dictates a person's worth.
01:15:19She has no idea that true brilliance never needs to be proven by stepping on others.
01:15:26The ceremony is starting.
01:15:28Ryola said he'd come right after he finishes his business.
01:15:31All I need to do is wait for him here quietly.
01:15:34How is this fair?
01:15:35You've fallen so low, yet you still act like you're so high and mighty.
01:15:39Just die!
01:15:46Impossible!
01:15:47What the hell was that?
01:15:48What the hell was that?
01:16:19Arcus Bishop Seraph.
01:16:21In my past life, his eye of truth saw through so many of the noble's filthy schemes.
01:16:26He was also the only one who didn't trample on me.
01:16:31Mia always wears her ambition on her sleeve.
01:16:34She thinks as long as she bows low enough and acts pious enough,
01:16:38the Arts Bishop will naturally bless her,
01:16:40paving her way to becoming the queen.
01:16:55Under the shocked gaze of thousands of top Triart's elites,
01:16:59this highly esteemed Archbishop.
01:17:02Someone even the king shows deference to has stepped into this corner.
01:17:07The Archbishop must have seen the cursed filth on that bitch Leora.
01:17:12Leora, Leora.
01:17:14Leora.
01:17:14I am going to watch you get judged by divine power
01:17:17and be torn to pieces.
01:17:22Everyone thinks I'm just garbage waiting to be swept away.
01:17:25Too bad they guessed wrong.
01:17:38The Royal Guards failed in their duty,
01:17:41letting Her Highness the Queen suffer such indignity in this filthy place.
01:17:46I deserve a thousand deaths.
01:17:59Queen?
01:18:01Impossible!
01:18:02Look closely, Your Grace.
01:18:04She's just an exiled wife who married a pupa!
01:18:14Ignorant fool!
01:18:16Are you blind?
01:18:17She wears the royal ring on her finger.
01:18:21What right do you have to question the queen here?
01:18:27Impossible!
01:18:28Your Grace!
01:18:28Grace, you must have mistaken her for someone else.
01:18:30She was abandoned by her family
01:18:32and publicly chose a begging egg-aziled.
01:18:35The whole world, Jarl, knows this.
01:18:39Insolence towards the queen must be punished.
01:18:45I can't believe you must be punished yet.
01:18:48No!
01:18:49Leave me alone!
01:18:50Oh!
01:18:51I can't believe you.
01:18:51No!
01:18:53No!
01:18:55No!
01:18:55No!
01:18:56No!
01:18:56No!
01:18:58No!
01:18:59No!
01:19:10No!
01:19:10meant to look. This farce aimed at me is finally coming to an end.
01:19:24I'm sorry I'm late.
01:19:26Honestly, whether he is wearing rags or heavy royal armor, as long as the way he looks at
01:19:31me hasn't changed, he is still the husband I chose back then.
01:19:35Were you the one who just said, my wife isn't worthy to sit here?
01:19:45Your highness, let me explain, it's truly a misunderstanding.
01:19:49I really didn't know Leora was her highness, the queen.
01:19:53If I had Noon, I wouldn't have shown her an ounce of disrespect.
01:20:02How do you want to punish her?
01:20:06Your highness, stay your wrath. I acted foolishly and without thought.
01:20:12I beg you, pardon my ignorance this once.
01:20:15You angered my wife. Begging me is useless.
01:20:21Your grace the queen! Our houses were once neighbors after all.
01:20:25By our old bond, please speak a word of grace on my behalf.
01:20:28You repent not out of true remorse, but only because I am your queen.
01:20:34If the person sitting here today were truly just a commoner without any background,
01:20:38they'd probably have no choice but to swallow all that humoration in silence.
01:20:42Since she made a mistake, don't use old ties as an excuse.
01:20:46She should face whatever punishment the imperial law dictates.
01:20:52Mia, daughter of the Duke, has blasphemed the queen with malicious intent.
01:20:59She is hereby stripped of her surname and permanently banished from the city.
01:21:07She is hereby.
01:21:08Watching them get thrown out like trash.
01:21:10I don't even feel the slightest thrill of revenge.
01:21:13I just find it absurd.
01:21:15Let go of me!
01:21:16Even the most arrogant nobles can get scared.
01:21:18Father, save me!
01:21:20I want to be kicked out!
01:21:22It is all a scam.
01:21:24Everything's taken care of.
01:21:27Rhaegar, there are too many people here.
01:21:29I can walk up myself.
01:21:31No.
01:21:32I want everyone in this hall to open their eyes and see clearly.
01:21:36From today on, you are mine.
01:21:38No one will ever wrong you again.
01:21:40Back in the Velaris family, whenever I was wronged,
