00:00Chosen husband, then.
00:06Today marks the tenth year of our marriage.
00:14Skiron, you're home!
00:21Why?
00:22Because the woman I love has always been Daphne.
00:24You should have stepped aside a long time ago.
00:28Daphne?
00:28My demigod sister?
00:30I never knew.
00:31If you loved her, why didn't you refuse me ten years ago?
00:35You're Zeus's favorite daughter.
00:36When he ordered the marriage, I had no choice.
00:40If it weren't for you, Daphne and I would have belonged to each other!
00:58I gave you everything.
01:00I made you the most powerful god on Olympus.
01:03How could you be this cruel?
01:11Please, save me.
01:13If you do, I swear, I won't tell my father.
01:16He'll never know.
01:23Your father won't get the chance to know.
01:26What does she mean?
01:32I've unleashed the beasts of Tartarus.
01:35Zeus is already fighting to survive.
01:37The throne of Olympus is overdue for a new ruler.
01:41What? No! No!
01:42No!
01:57Ten years.
01:58And I never realized how deeply my husband hated me.
02:01My foolish love destroyed my father.
02:04Oh fates!
02:06If I could live it again, I would never choose him.
02:38Selene.
02:39Today, you choose your husband.
02:42I'm alive.
02:43I've returned to the day of the choosing.
02:45The fate's heard me.
02:46You've always favored Ski-Rod.
02:48If he can make my precious daughter happy,
02:50then choose him.
02:58No, father!
03:00What is it?
03:02I won't choose Ski-Rod.
03:04I choose him.
03:08It's him?!
03:13Why did I choose him?
03:15My worst nightmare.
03:30He's alive!
03:33And he's alive.
03:34He's alive!
03:34He's alive.
03:35He's alive!
03:35He's alive!
03:37He's alive!
03:50Oh my God!
03:55Skiron's gonna love it.
04:07After I married Skiron, Alexander went to war. He died on the battlefield. After that, we never met again.
04:14Alexander? Are you certain?
04:16Yes.
04:17You've never gotten along. And you've always loved Skiron. Why the sudden change?
04:22Because I've made my decision. I choose Alexander. Alexander may be my rival, but he never stabbed me through the
04:28heart.
04:28If the fates have given me a second chance, then I'll make a different choice this time.
04:38Selene, who did you choose?
04:40It's Skiron. Everyone knows how deeply she loves him.
04:42If there's one god she'd never choose, it's Alexander.
04:45They fight every time they're in the same room.
04:48Skiron, I gave you everything. And you repaid me with death.
04:52This time.
04:55The one I choose... is...
05:04When that day comes, you'll all know. Skiron, you'll be there. Won't you?
05:15Lady Selene.
05:22Lady Selene!
05:23Why would you do this to me?
05:26Daphna, are you hurt? Apologize to her! Now!
05:29The same old trick.
05:37Skiron, I didn't...
05:41Daphne, that trick won't work on me anymore.
05:44She tore her own dress.
05:46She injured self on purpose.
05:48Why should I apologize?
05:49Lady Selene.
05:50Are you saying Daphne harmed herself to frame you?
05:53I wouldn't rush to conclusions.
05:55That's enough!
05:56Everyone knows Daphne is kind and pure.
05:57She would never do something so vile.
06:00Skiron, watch your tone!
06:02Stop.
06:02Everyone knows, Selene.
06:04I's obsessed with Skiron.
06:05Don't make an enemy mine of him.
06:08I once let my love blind me.
06:10No matter what Skiron did,
06:11I forgave him.
06:12That will never happen again.
06:15I'll ask you one last time.
06:16Did I do this?
06:17If I offended you in any way, Lady Selene,
06:19I apologize.
06:20But there's no need to humiliate me like this.
06:29My father granted me supreme authority.
06:31If I wish to punish you,
06:32I need no permission, no excuse.
06:42Daphne!
06:47Selene!
06:48You've gone too far!
06:49You insulted me first.
06:50Then you had the nerve to make up lies about me.
06:52You're the one who took this way too far!
07:00Did you see that?
07:01Selene actually reprimanded Skiron in public.
07:04She used to protect him no matter what.
07:14Thank you for speaking up earlier.
07:16My engagement ceremony is in seven days.
07:18Be there.
07:19Does it matter?
07:20You're not choosing me anyway.
07:21I might be busy that day.
07:22But I'll send you a generous engagement gift.
07:26I will choose you.
07:28And I'll prepare a gift for you as well.
07:41That gem is called the Tear of the Stars.
07:43It was forged from fragments of fallen stars,
07:46gathered by the three fates themselves.
07:47It carries their blessing for lovers.
07:49A one-of-a-kind treasure in all the realms.
07:53Skiron, thank you for walking with me today.
07:58Daphne, this is my fault.
08:00Selene took her anger out on you because of me.
08:02She's of pure blood, high status.
08:04She's always been able to take whatever she wants.
08:07I'm used to it.
08:08Daphne shouldn't have to endure this.
08:10I'll make it up to her, no matter the cost.
08:12I heard if Phexas forged a gemstone unlike any other.
08:14Could I see it?
08:15Of course.
08:23I want this gem.
08:29Skiron, this must be the one I told you about.
08:31The unique treasure.
08:35If you want it, I'll make sure you have it.
08:43Selene!
08:44What are you doing here?
08:45Were you following me?
08:48I was here first.
08:50Stop being so paranoid.
08:52Like you've never done it before.
09:14Don't worry.
09:15That won't happen again.
09:17I'll pay 100,000 gold coins for the gem.
09:20Skiron, it's beautiful.
09:23Lady Selene can have any jewel she wants.
09:27I've never owned anything so special.
09:30I'll buy it for you.
09:32Selene, you already have more jewels than you can count.
09:35Can't you let her have this one?
09:37I'll pay three times your offer.
09:41Selene, she's never refused me before.
09:42Do you really think I care about a few extra coins?
09:46Lady Selene, I've heard the tear of the stars, the fate's blessing for lovers.
09:52Are you buying it to give to Skiron?
09:54So that's it.
09:55She plans to buy it for me.
09:57I promise Daphne I'll fulfill all her wishes.
10:00You will give me the gem eventually anyway.
10:02Might as well give me now.
10:03And plus, you pushed her down the steps.
10:06You need to compensate.
10:06So let me get this straight.
10:08You want me to buy the gem so you can hand it to Daphne and play the hero?
10:11Skiron, you truly have no shame.
10:14Too bad.
10:15The tear of the stars isn't for you.
10:17Something's wrong.
10:18She's not acting like herself at all.
10:19Hephaectus, I'm taking it.
10:26Forget it, Skiron.
10:27I don't want it anymore.
10:28Let's go.
10:30No.
10:31You deserve the best in the world.
10:36Don't wrap it!
10:38Fine.
10:39I'll indulge you.
10:40But can you actually afford it?
10:42It's only 300,000 gold.
10:46A full sack of gold worth far more than 300,000.
10:56What?
10:57That's impossible.
11:03What is this?
11:04Open another bag now!
11:13That's impossible.
11:14How could this happen?
11:15Everything my father ever gifted me, I used to give you half.
11:18Now, I've replaced every coin I ever gave you with worthless scrap.
11:24What's wrong?
11:25You finally realize you're broke?
11:29Please, wrap it up.
11:49Lady Selene, that was incredible.
11:51Honestly, I've never seen Skiron so humiliated.
11:52But aren't you afraid he'd ignore you once you're engaged?
11:54You think I'm choosing him too?
11:56Of course.
11:56All the gods know you'd do anything for him.
11:58You'd never choose anyone else.
11:59Then the gods will see how wrong they are when the day comes.
12:05My gold doesn't just turn into scrap.
12:07This has to be Selene's doing.
12:10I'm sorry, my love.
12:12You've suffered again because of me.
12:14It's my fault.
12:15Selene is of pure divine blood.
12:17A goddess like her can have anything she wants.
12:20Someone like me.
12:21A half-blood with mortal lineage.
12:23How could I ever dare want what she desires?
12:30Don't say that.
12:31Three years ago, I was cursed by Eris.
12:33I was bleeding to death.
12:35If you hadn't lifted that curse, I'd be dead.
12:37Selene could never compare to you.
12:54The one who lifted your curse wasn't me.
12:57Still, you think I was your savior, you fool.
12:59But a half-blood like me is despised on Olympus.
13:02Every step upward is a struggle.
13:03If you're foolish enough to be my stepping stone, I'll climb as high as I can.
13:19Father, why are you doing this?
13:22You idiot.
13:23You offended Lady Selene.
13:25All for a low-born half-blood?
13:27Humans no longer worship us as they once were.
13:29For years, Selene's gifts kept our house afloat.
13:32Now she's cut us off.
13:33We're finished.
13:35So that's why my gold turned into scrap.
13:39If you truly want Daphne, then at least wait until after the engagement.
13:43Relax, father.
13:44Selene's just throwing a tantrum.
13:46Her love for me is blind.
13:47Even if she caught Daphne and me in bed together, she'd cry for a day or two, then crawl right
13:51back.
13:54Soon we'll know who Selene chose as her fiancé.
13:56It's Skiron.
13:57There's no other possibility.
13:58I heard Skiron loves someone else.
14:00Looks like today will be entertaining.
14:14Alexander?
14:16Your engagement gift.
14:18But the ceremony hasn't even begun.
14:20Why the rush?
14:21Because I'm leaving.
14:23I won't be there today.
14:24Try it.
14:25If you don't show up, I swear I'll make you regret it.
14:37Selene, I can't watch another man take your hand.
14:41I don't trust myself to stay calm.
14:43I mean, I'd probably ruin your engagement just for fun.
14:51You dare not show up and see what happens?
14:54Alexander, today's fiancé is you.
15:07What are you doing here?
15:14Lady Selene, I know I'm nothing more than a lowly half-blood, unworthy of even standing before you.
15:19But Skiron and I truly love each other.
15:21Please, don't take him away from me.
15:23And if I insist, Skiron is mine.
15:28Help!
15:29You brought this on yourself, Selene.
15:37Daphne!
15:52Selene, I already agreed to marry you.
15:55Why not stop disturbing Daphne?
15:56Her power is weak.
15:58Did you really mean to throw her into divine punishment and kill her?
16:01I didn't push her.
16:07Skiron, please don't blame Lady Selene.
16:09This is my fault.
16:10I only wanted to congratulate her.
16:12But I must have angered her instead.
16:18I can't believe it.
16:20Selene using lightning to murder a rival?
16:22This is a disgrace to the gods.
16:25Selene, last time you pushed Daphne down the stairs, she chose not to pursue it.
16:28But this time, I will not tolerate it.
16:31Apologize!
16:31Now!
16:32Apologize?
16:33To her?
16:34Never.
16:34Then I'll have my guards force you to kneel.
16:40Take your filthy hands off her!
16:48Alexander!
17:16How dare you show such disrespect to Selene!
17:19Mind your own business.
17:21Hermes will arrive any moment to announce me as your fiancée.
17:23Unless Daphne forgives her.
17:25There will be no engagement.
17:26Kneel!
17:27Apologize to her now!
17:28What are you waiting for?
17:29Make her kneel!
17:46Enough!
17:49Enough!
17:49Enough!
17:53Enough!
17:55Enough!
17:59I am here to announce Zeus' decree.
18:02Selene Kingsley's chosen fiancée is...
18:05Alexander.
18:11That's impossible!
18:12There must be a mistake!
18:13And why would you assume I choose you?
18:15I have no shortage of options.
18:17Alexander, will you be my fiancée?
18:19If I say yes, you're not going to change your mind just to toy with me, are you?
18:23My father already wrote your name.
18:24Why don't you see for yourself?
18:30If this is Zeus' will, then I'll obey with gratitude.
18:36This can't be real.
18:37Everything you did.
18:39Pushing Daphne into danger.
18:40Playing hard to get.
18:42Wasn't it all just to get my attention?
18:44How could you possibly choose Alexander?
18:46Since you brought it up.
18:48Let's clear something up.
18:49I won't allow anyone to slander my fiancée.
18:52Miss Daphne?
18:53How exactly did you fall into the lightning?
18:55I was speaking with Lady Selene.
18:57I only mentioned Skirin once.
18:58And she suddenly lost her temper.
19:00She summoned divine punishment.
19:01Are you certain?
19:02Because the thunder god Akachalus, he witnessed everything.
19:05Shall we invite him to confirm your story?
19:19Alexander.
19:20You summoned me.
19:21How may I serve?
19:22Tell everyone here.
19:23Tell them what you saw.
19:36I witnessed Lady Silly speaking with Daphne.
19:39After Daphne said something, she turned of her own accord and stepped directly into the lightning.
19:44That is correct.
19:46Daphne followed Lady Silly into the corridor.
19:48At no point did Lady Silly touch her.
19:49It was Daphne herself who walked into the thunder.
19:55God, she actually triggered a divine strike on purpose just to set Silly up.
19:58That's utterly despairable.
20:01The innocent act was a lie.
20:03She is rotten to the core.
20:04Daphne, the evidence is undeniable.
20:07What do you have to say for yourself?
20:10Daphne, is it true?
20:12Did you deliberately step into the lightning, then pretend to be the victim?
20:14I didn't scare and believe me.
20:17I was just scared.
20:18The thunder was so close, I couldn't think clearly.
20:20But I would never frame Lady Silly.
20:22Never!
20:26Daphne, you went to great lengths to fabricate this scheme.
20:30All to destroy my reputation.
20:31According to divine law, you are sentenced to 30 lashes.
20:35No!
20:37And you, you repeatedly showed me disrespect and attempted to humiliate me in public.
20:43By law, you are sentenced to seven days of confinement.
20:47A fair judgment.
20:48It seems we all misunderstood, Lady Silly.
20:51Indeed.
20:52To think Daphne could be so vile.
20:55Skirin trusted the wrong person.
20:57Regret must be tearing him apart.
20:58What?
21:23Gods of Olympias.
21:24Today we gather to witness the union of my youngest daughter, Selene and Alexander.
21:33If you want to change your mind, this is your last chance.
21:38If you're still thinking about Skirin, don't use me as an excuse.
21:41I'm not.
21:42Selene, Alexander, do you swear before all the gods
21:46that from this day forward, your power and your destiny shall be bound together as one?
21:54We swear.
21:55We swear.
21:56We swear.
22:15This gem is a treasure from the depths of the Aegean Sea.
22:18I can't believe Alexander would give me something so precious.
22:26Will he even like it?
22:27Like what?
22:45Is this for me?
22:48Give it back.
22:55Could you at least put some clothes on?
22:58We're engaged now.
23:00You might as well get used to it.
23:06The tear of the stars.
23:11This is a gift meant for a lover.
23:13So don't tell me you've liked me all along.
23:19Don't flatter yourself.
23:21I bought it because it was beautiful, that's all.
23:23I'm going to bathe.
23:24Your room is over there.
23:25Don't get it wrong.
23:47Skiron, I swear I never framed her.
23:51The evidence was undeniable.
23:53How do you expect me to believe you?
23:55Skiron, haven't you realized it yet?
23:57Everything that happened that day was Selene's revenge.
24:02What do you mean?
24:07She hates us.
24:09So she joined forces with Alexander to humiliate us in front of everyone.
24:13Everyone thought she would choose me, yet she chose Alexander instead.
24:17You're right.
24:19I shouldn't have blamed you for everything.
24:21It's all right.
24:23Now that Selene has chosen Alexander,
24:25no one can separate us anymore.
24:27We can finally get engaged.
24:30You're right.
24:33I'll hold our engagement ceremony in the grandest palace.
24:35I'll make my vows before all the gods.
24:38My love,
24:39I'll give you the very best.
24:44I will become Skiron's wife.
24:46I will become a goddess.
24:48No one will stop me.
25:03So this is the luxurious palace jointly built by Athena and Hephaestus?
25:07Skiron,
25:07when a thing indicates your shoulder and diguation ceremony,
25:10actually perfect.
25:11Leave it to me, my dear.
25:12I'm a regular here.
25:14Skiron,
25:15I'm so lucky to have you.
25:21I'm sorry, sir.
25:22You may not enter.
25:24I'm a frequent guest here.
25:25There must be some mistake.
25:26You have been barred from entering the Crystal Palace.
25:28That's impossible.
25:29You must have this wrong.
25:30Summon the palace guardian.
25:39The scenery here is breathtaking.
25:41Nothing compares to it.
25:43I can tell.
25:45Used to come here often with Skiron.
25:48From now on,
25:49I'll only come here with you.
25:50Skiron can go to hell.
26:00Come on.
26:10Miss Silly, welcome.
26:12Your presence honors the Crystal Palace.
26:20You!
26:21Seline!
26:22This was your doing again, wasn't it?
26:26What nonsense are you talking about?
26:28Stop pretending.
26:29You're the one who had my access revolt, aren't you?
26:33Miss Silly,
26:35I understand that you resent us because Skiron doesn't love you.
26:39But was it really necessary to go this far?
26:42I don't waste my time on people who don't matter.
26:45The Crystal Palace only receives the most exalted of gods.
26:48Skiron, face reality.
26:50Without me, you are nothing.
26:54Say that again?
26:58Touch my fiancée again,
26:59and I promise you will regret it.
27:05Skiron!
27:05You dared to insult our most honored guests.
27:07These two are permanently barred from the Crystal Palace.
27:20I'll never understand how Skiron could throw away someone as noble as Miss Seline for a lowly demigoddess.
27:24If you ask me, Miss Seline spoiled him for far too long.
27:27Now that she's chosen Alexander,
27:28it's time Skiron faced the bitter reality of his own insane significance.
27:36Father!
27:37Get back here immediately, you fool!
27:49Shit!
27:51How can you even attempt to return her to this place?
27:53If you hadn't lost your senses back then,
27:56Selina would never have chosen another.
27:58You ruined everything!
28:00Father, I don't love Selina.
28:02Other than Zeus' favor, she has nothing to her name.
28:04Daphne is the one I love.
28:05She is beautiful, kind, and she possesses powerful purification abilities.
28:08These are things Selina could never compare to.
28:09I intend to get engaged to Daphne.
28:11Purification abilities?
28:12Three years ago, Eris cursed me.
28:15I was bleeding endlessly, and thought my life was over.
28:17It was Daphne who appeared, and lifted the curse!
28:20Among Zeus' descendants, there are rumors of one who possesses immense purification power,
28:24capable of breaking even the strongest curses.
28:26You are also of Zeus' blood.
28:28Could it be you?
28:29Of course not, you idiot!
28:32Yes, Lord Eris.
28:34Very well.
28:34I approve of your engagement.
28:36In three days there will be a banquet of the gods.
28:38You too will attend with me.
28:41In three days there will be an exclusive
28:42In three days there will be a banquet of the wounds.
29:16Where are you?
29:20She has a high fever and she just had a seizure.
29:27The doctor is going to give me their reticulars.
29:29I don't know if she can make it.
