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.
03:31You know what?
03:32He left his head on.
03:33To be the king of the king of the king of the king of the king of the king of
03:33the king of the king,
03:37I'm sorry.
03:41But you can't get his help.
03:42I'm sorry.
03:44You're sorry.
03:49I'm not sure.
03:50Well, everyone.
03:55Skiron's gonna love it.
04:07After I married Skiron, Alexander went to war. He died on the battlefield.
04:11After 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. This 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.
05:22Lady Selene! Why would you do this to me?
05:26Daphna, are you hurt? Apologize to her! Now!
05:28The same old trick.
05:37Skiron, I didn't...
05:41Daphne, that trick won't work on me anymore.
05:44She tore her own dress. She injured self on purpose. Why should I apologize?
05:49Lady Selene, are you saying Daphne harmed herself to frame you?
05:53I wouldn't rush to conclusions.
05:55That's enough! Everyone knows Daphne is kind and pure. She would never do something so vile!
06:00Skiron, watch your tone!
06:01Stop.
06:02Everyone knows, Selene. I's obsessed with Skiron.
06:05Don't make an enemy mine of him.
06:08I once let my love blind me. No matter what Skiron did, I forgave him.
06:12That will never happen again.
06:15I'll ask you one last time. Did I do this?
06:17If I offended you in any way, Lady Selene, I 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, I need no permission, no excuse.
06:42Daphne!
06:47Daphne!
06:47Selene! You'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. My engagement ceremony is in seven days. Be there.
07:19Does it matter? You're not choosing me anyway.
07:21I might be busy that day. But I'll send you a generous engagement gift.
07:26I will choose you. And I'll prepare a gift for you as well.
07:41That gem is called the Tear of the Stars. It was forged from fragments of fallen stars, gathered by the
07:46three fates themselves. It carries their blessing for lovers. A one-of-a-kind treasure in all the realms.
07:53Skiron, thank you for walking with me today.
07:57Daphne. This is my fault. Selene took her anger out on you because of me.
08:02She's of pure blood, high status. She's always been able to take whatever she wants. I'm used to it.
08:08Daphne shouldn't have to endure this. I'll make it up to her, no matter the cost.
08:12I heard if Phexus forged a gemstone unlike any other. Could I see it?
08:15Of course.
08:23I want this gem.
08:29Skiron, this must be the one I told you about. The unique treasure.
08:35If you want it, I'll make sure you have it.
08:43Selene! What are you doing here? Were you following me?
08:49I was here first. Stop being so paranoid.
08:51Like you've never done it before.
09:14Don't worry. That won't happen again.
09:17I'll pay 100,000 gold coins for the gem.
09:20Skiron, it's beautiful.
09:22I'll pay 100,000 gold coins for the gem.
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? I'll pay three times your offer.
09:41She'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 the Skiron?
09:54So that's it. She 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. Might as well give me now.
10:03And plus, you pushed her down the steps. You 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. The tear of the stars isn't for you.
10:17Something's wrong. She's not acting like herself at all.
10:19Hefectus, I'm taking it.
10:26Forget it, Skiron. I don't want it anymore. Let's go.
10:31No. You deserve the best in the world.
10:36Don't wrap it!
10:38Fine. I'll indulge you. But 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? That's impossible!
11:03What is this? Open another bag, now!
11:13That's impossible. How 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? You finally realize you're broke?
11:29Please, wrap it up.
11:49Lady Selene, that was incredible. Honestly, 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. All the gods know you'd do anything for him. You'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.
12:08This has to be Selene's doing.
12:10I'm sorry, my love. You've suffered again, because of me.
12:14It's my fault. Selene is of pure divine blood.
12:17A goddess like her can have anything she wants.
12:20Someone like me. A 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.
12:34If 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.
13:08You never did.
13:08The only way to.
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 if you truly want daphne then at least wait until after
13:42the engagement relax father celine's just throwing a tantrum her love for me is blind
13:47even if she caught daphne and me in bed together she'd cry for a day or two
13:50then crawl right back soon we'll know who celine chose as her fiance it's ski ron there's no other
13:58possibility i heard ski ron loves someone else looks like today will be entertaining
14:16alexander your engagement gift but the ceremony hasn't even begun why the rush because i'm

16:07skiron please don't blame lady celine this is my fault i only wanted to congratulate her
16:12but i must have angered her instead
16:18i can't believe it celine using lightning to murder her rival this is a disgrace to the gods

18:43to get my attention how could you possibly choose alexander since you brought it up let's clear something up
18:49i won't allow anyone to slander my fiancee
18:52miss daphne how exactly did you fall into the lightning i i was speaking with lady selene
18:57i only mentioned skirin once and she suddenly lost her temper
18:59she summoned divine punishment are you certain because the thunder god akachelis
19:03he witnessed everything shall we invite him to confirm your story
19:20alexander you summoned me how may i serve tell everyone here tell them what you saw
19:36i witnessed lady silly speaking with daphne after daphne said something she turned of her own accord
19:41and stepped directly into the lightning that is correct daphne followed lady silly into the corridor
19:48at no point did lady silly touch her it was daphne herself who walked into the thunder
19:55she actually triggered a divine strike on purpose just to set salia up that's utterly despairable
20:01the innocent act was a lie she is rotten to the core daphne the evidence is undeniable what do you
20:07have to say for yourself daphne is it true did you deliberately step into the lightning then pretend to be
20:14the victim i didn't skirin believe me i was just scared the thunder was so close i couldn't think
20:19clearly but i would never frame lady selene never
20:26daphne you went to great lengths to fabricate this scheme all to destroy my reputation according
20:32to divine law you are sentenced to 30 lashes no and you you repeatedly showed me disrespect and attempted to
20:42humiliate me in public by law you are sentenced to seven days of confinement a fair judgment it seems
20:49we all misunderstood lady selene indeed to think daphne could be so vile skirin trusted the wrong person
20:56regret must be tearing him apart
21:23gods of olympias today we gather to witness the union of my youngest daughter
21:28selene selene and alexander
21:33if you want to change your mind this is your last chance
