00:00until she saw her son take off the official uniform,
00:02remove the ceremonial hairpin,
00:04and kneel before his own father.
00:05The woman lit the portrait she had kept for years.
00:08She placed the housekeeper's insignia on the table,
00:10removed the hairpin her husband had given her,
00:12set the separation document inside a silk box,
00:14and took her son by the hand.
00:16Without looking back,
00:17she wanted her husband to learn what it meant to lose her.
00:19That would be the greatest punishment of his life.
00:21At that moment,
00:22the Marquis was embracing his scheming lover.
00:24A guard came running in with the letter of separation.
00:26The Marquis thought his wife was just throwing a tantrum,
00:28but when he saw the insignia and the hairpin,
00:31he realized this time it was real.
00:32He ran to his wife's chambers and found them completely empty.
00:35Only then did he understand she had truly left.
00:38The woman was the only daughter of a nation's protector duke.
00:41Since childhood, she had lived surrounded by luxury.
00:43She happily married the man she secretly loved,
00:46believing they would have a beautiful life together.
00:48But she walked straight into a nightmare.
00:50Her husband had always loved another woman.
00:52Even so, she fulfilled her duties as a wife wholeheartedly,
00:55until the day she gave birth.
00:56She was in labor for three full days.
00:59She finally delivered the child,
01:00but her husband waited outside,
01:02only to tell her that she had brought all of this on herself.
01:04His words were like knives.
01:06Fortunately, her son was born healthy,
01:08and she believed that with time, things would improve.
01:10Seven years passed.
01:11She used her family's money to support the household,
01:13but their relationship never healed.
01:15He wanted to bring his lover into their home,
01:17and wouldn't even allow his own son to call him father.
01:19She couldn't endure it anymore.
01:21She considered returning with her son to her parents' estate,
01:23but the child still had hope in his father.
01:25So she told him they would give the marquee three more chances.
01:28If he didn't change, they would leave forever.
01:31It didn't take long.
01:32Before the marquee walked through the main doors,
01:34with the lover by his side,
01:35the lover pretended to be kind to the servants.
01:37The wife saw everything, but stayed silent.
01:39She even offered her the keys of the estate,
01:41and the account books.
01:42But the lover refused.
01:43Supported by the marquee,
01:44the woman pretended to be a victim.
01:46Before he arrived,
01:47and the foolish, blind marquee
01:48pushed his own wife to the ground without asking anything.
01:51The lover accused her of mistreatment.
01:52The marquee believed her instantly,
01:54and forced his wife to apologize.
01:56Threatening to strip her of her authority at home,
01:59she threw the keys without hesitating,
02:01and left without another word.
02:02The marquee began to feel uneasy,
02:04but he didn't know it was all part of the plan.
02:06The lover wanted her illegitimate son,
02:07to replace the legitimate heir.
02:09The woman had managed the estate for seven years.
02:11Now the day had finally come.
02:13To include her son in the family registry,
02:15the marquee sent the official uniform,
02:17and promised to be present.
02:18The child was happy.
02:19He thought his father would finally acknowledge him.
02:21But on the day of the ceremony,
02:22the marquee was just as cold as always.
02:24He never intended to recognize him.
02:26That day was both the boy's birthday,
02:27and the day he would enter the clan.
02:29The woman didn't want to argue.
02:30She only wanted to secure her son's position.
02:32The ritual began smoothly,
02:33with the clan elders in attendance.
02:35The ceremony and the blood test were successful.
02:37They were about to write his name in the registry.
02:39When the marquee stopped them,
02:41he produced the documents for the lover's son,
02:43and demanded that he be added instead.
02:45He claimed the lover would be criticized,
02:46for having a child without a name,
02:47and that his own son had no right to complain.
02:50The woman understood everything.
02:52The official uniform had only been to pave the way,
02:54for the other boy to enter the clan.
02:55But that boy wasn't even the marquee's child.
02:57The blood test had revealed it.
02:59The marquee had planned everything,
03:00to cover it up.
03:01The clan elders were horrified.
03:02They couldn't understand,
03:03how he preferred another man's child,
03:05over his own.
03:06The lover pretended to be pitiful,
03:07and manipulated him with ease.
03:09The marquee stubbornly held to his decision.
03:11Ignoring everyone,
03:12the woman saw the pain,
03:13in her son's eyes,
03:14and felt her heart break.
03:15The marquee approached the boy,
03:17asked for forgiveness,
03:18with empty words,
03:19and offered him a hairpin,
03:20as a birthday gift.
03:21The child was moved,
03:22but then the marquee asked him,
03:23to remove the official uniform.
03:25Every gift had its price.
03:26The woman wanted to speak,
03:27but her son no longer expected anything.
03:29He took off the uniform,
03:30in front of everyone.
03:31That meant he would never belong to the clan.
03:33The lover smiled inwardly,
03:35expecting to see them destroyed.
03:36The marquee felt a sting in his heart.
03:38He wanted to kneel down,
03:38but the other boy,
03:39the false one,
03:40ran to him,
03:42asking to be taken to sleep,
03:43and the marquee walked away,
03:44without looking back.
03:45He didn't know,
03:46that the next morning,
03:46the woman had already packed.
03:48She gave the letter,
03:48of separation,
03:49to a maid.
03:50Her son buried the hairpin,
03:51his father had given him.
03:52From that moment on,
03:53mother and son,
03:54said their final goodbye.
03:55Each would seek their own happiness.
03:57From now on,
03:57foot of the ее Kant.
03:58The fourth one.
04:01The fourth.
04:05The fourth.
04:10The fourth.
04:14The third.
04:15The fifth.
04:15The second.
