Short filmTranscript
00:02I was gathering herbs. Then I found a man bleeding in the woods. I took him home and
00:08nursed him until his men came to retrieve him. Only then did I learn he was President's
00:13son. Staying here alone with you had ruined my reputation. That's my fault. I must protect
00:21you with a marriage vow. Confused I followed him to the city but I didn't know. He had
00:27a childhood sweetheart waiting for him. When she heard about us she didn't say a word.
00:31She just gave me a fob watch. That was the token of love he once gave her. She helped me
00:36into my
00:36wedding gown and into the carriage. Soon after she married a man chosen by her family. I thought
00:42they felt nothing for each other. That life would simply go on. But shortly after our wedding he
00:47went to war. In the end he died on the battlefield. He sent a final letter before he passed. Elena
00:54I spent my life repaying your kindness. But I never married her. I owe her far too much.
01:00In the next life may we both find peace and never meet again. Only then did I realize I was
01:06never
01:07the one who loved. Heartbroken and numb I charged alone into the enemy camp and was cut down in the
01:13fray. Unexpectedly I opened my eyes again to the day we first met. This time I would give him
01:20exactly what he wanted. Using my memories I found a signal flare on him. I lit it then turned to
01:27leave.
01:27As the signal burst in the sky I tossed the fuse aside. Soon I heard horses in the distance. I
01:33closed
01:34my medicine chest and took one last look at his face. Charles, the president's son. My husband from
01:40my past life. I turned away. Not a single regret in my heart. But as I stepped out shadows materialized
01:47like specters. The gun was pressed right against my face in an instant. The leader's eyes were cold.
01:53Who are you?
01:54The one who saved him.
01:56Rafe looked at me warily. I lowered my medical bag with deliberate calm. His subordinate checked
02:01it quickly. A moment later he put his gun away. Thank you for your kindness. Mr. Charles is lucky
02:07to be alive. Take this as payment. You'll get more reward when he's safely home.
02:11I don't do this for money. Then what do you want? A title? Power? Just name your price.
02:17What I want you cannot give. A faint cough came from the side. Rafe's expression shifted. He rushed
02:24to Charles' side. Mr. Charles, you're awake! I stood there, completely calm. In this life,
02:30we owe each other nothing. But as I turned to leave, Rafe blocked my path. Mr. Charles wishes to see
02:36you.
02:37I took a deep breath and walked back inside. Charles was sitting up. He was pale, but his eyes
02:43were locked on me.
02:44You saved me?
02:45It was nothing.
02:46Being alone here with me could ruin your reputation.
02:50My reputation is mine to define. You are the president's son, the future of this nation.
02:56Besides, someone is waiting for you. She's the one who needs you. I don't. If you really want to
03:01thank me, then please, just forget about me. Forget everything that happened. Let's just pretend we
03:07never met. I thought I could just walk away. But after three steps, the gun was raised at me once
03:13again. This time, it was harsher and more final. Stop right there.
03:20I told you, we're even. Until Mr. Charles is fully alert and confirms you're no threat, you aren't going
03:28anywhere. And if I insist? Just as he moved to act, a rapid poop-beats approached. It was her,
03:36Isolde Vos, the most gifted woman in the capital, his childhood sweetheart. Charles, how are you?
03:43You scared me to death. Charles didn't answer. He was staring intently at me. Isolde followed his
03:50gaze. Who is this? Miss Vos, this lady saved Mr. Charles' life. Isolde looked me up and down with
03:57a scornful gaze. Looking at my muddy straw shoes and my coarse plain clothes, her eyes filled with
04:04disdain. Just a local healer. Thank you for your work. Take this as a token of my thanks. No need.
04:13Is my jeweled bracelet not enough? I rely on my skills, not charity. You misunderstand me.
04:19I'm only showing gratitude. Or, do you want something more? I've heard some country girls
04:25trying to scheme their way into high society. She spoke softly, but her words cut sharp as a blade.
04:31The bodyguards fixed me with suspicious stares. I want no part of high society. My future is right
04:36here in these hills with every patient who depends on me. I won't spend my future confined to some man's
04:41backyard. Show some respect. Do you know who you're talking to? Do you know he is the president's
04:47son? Because he is president's son, he should stay away from me. Rafe, let her go. Understood,
04:55Mr. Charles. I did not hesitate for a second. I pushed deep into the woods. No one tried to
05:01stop me this time. Three years have passed. I've passed through 16 towns and treated over 300
05:08patients. My medicine bag grew heavy. I had grown out of that girl and become a true healer. I heard
05:13nothing of the president's son. By my calculations, he must have married long ago. He must be living
05:20happily with Isolde, just as it should be. We were from two different worlds until that autumn when war
05:26broke out on the border. The pass fell to the northern tribes. War swept across the land for months.
05:33More and more wounded came to me. I worked day and night without rest. My herbal stove never
05:40went cold. One day, just as the herbs finished, a man walked in. It was Colonel Harry, the local
05:46commander. Is there any way to save this soldier? The other doctors shook their heads. He's gone.
05:52There's nothing we can do. Prepare the funeral. I said nothing. I stepped forward in silence,
05:58removed his clothes, cleaned the wound, and stitched it up. If the fever breaks, he will live.
06:04What? How is that possible? Dr. Maeve, please come with me to be our chief medic.
06:10My boys are great soldiers. They can die charging the front, but I can't watch them rot away in pain
06:16inside a tent. His words hit me hard. He was right. Where am I needed more than the front? In
06:21the days that
06:22followed, I slept only four hours a night. My hands smelled of blood I could never wash away.
06:27I saved more people than I could count. I became known as the one who cheated death,
06:32because I always stole lives back from death. I went from a simple village healer to the head of
06:38all medical staff. Dr. Maeve, hurry! Mr. Charles... I followed the bodyguards to a tent. As I stepped
06:45inside, the stench of blood and herbs washed over me. The personal physician were on their knees,
06:51completely helpless. I walked forward, looking at the handsome face from years ago.
06:56Now pale and fragile, I unbuttoned his robe, and saw that the wound had turned black.
07:03It reeked of death. The poison had already reached his heart.
07:07I need Snow Lotus to clear his veins, or he won't last long.
07:11Snow Lotus? That's a holy herb on the highest cliffs. The mountains are snowed in completely.
07:16It's impossible to get there.
07:18I'll go get it, I said, turning to leave.
07:20Dr. Maeve, you're going on a suicide mission. No woman can handle that blizzard.
07:26I didn't look back, only I knew exactly where to find it. In my past life, this poison killed him.
07:32In this life, I won't let him die again. Not for love, but because this army needs its leader.
07:38I am a doctor. Saving lives is my calling, with a rope and a herb hoe.
07:42I vanished alone into the whiteout. I fell three times.
07:47At the most dangerous moment, I hung midair on a single dead vine, but when I saw it,
07:53that pure white blossom dancing in the gale, I smiled.
07:57I returned with the lotus. On the morning of the third day, I heard as old as sobbing.
08:02Charles, wake up! Look at me!
08:05I handed the lotus to a helper boy.
08:07Simmer it slowly over a low flame to make the medicine.
08:10I walked inside. Isolde froze, then snapped.
08:14Who are you? Do you know where-
08:17Not another word.
08:19Unless you want to watch him die.
08:22She trembled with rage, but stayed silent.
08:24I went to the bed and reached for his forehead.
08:27The moment my fingers touched his skin, his lips moved in a faint, mumbled whisper.
08:33Helena.
08:34I froze in my tracks.
08:36Had he returned from the past as well?
08:38The thought was like a snake, slithering into my mind.
08:42A cold shiver ran through me.
08:44Memories of my past life, the ones I tried to bury, came rushing back all at once.
08:50The distance on our wedding night, the cold stares from the bodyguards,
08:54Isolde's fake pity, and that final, soul-crushing letter.
08:58I yanked my hand back.
09:00I forced myself to stay calm.
09:02Whether he remembered or not, he was just my patient now.
09:06He was the hope of this army.
09:08My logic finally returned.
09:10I ordered the medics to prepare.
09:12The snow lotus was ready.
09:13Mr. Charles needs surgery now.
09:15The medics scrambled to help.
09:17Isolde stayed by the bed, sobbing while holding his hand.
09:21She looked so fragile today.
09:22I stepped forward and spoke softly.
09:25Miss Isolette, please move.
09:26I need to treat him.
09:28She looked up with teary eyes.
09:30Her worry was mixed with suspicion.
09:33Who exactly are you?
09:34She asked with a sharp gaze.
09:36I know every one of his personal physicians, but I have never seen you.
09:40I gave a short answer, without even looking at her.
09:43I am Dr. Mayev, the army's chief medic.
09:45I began preparing my tools.
09:48Helena.
09:49Isolde whispered the name.
09:51Her face suddenly turned pale.
09:52You're the local healer.
09:54The one who saved him back then.
09:56I cut her off.
09:58This is not the time for memories.
10:00This is a matter of life and death.
10:02Please, step aside.
10:04Isolde bit her lip and finally moved back.
10:07But she kept staring at Charles.
10:09Her eyes full of complex emotions.
10:12The first treatment was done.
10:14I brought the lotus medicine, feeding him, drop by drop.
10:18His brow was locked in pain, as if he couldn't bear the agony.
10:22I whispered words of comfort, like soothing a small child.
10:26Isolde tried to help, but I refused her coldly.
10:29Black blood seeped from the wound, a sign the medicine was working.
10:33I cleaned the wound over and over.
10:36The process was dangerous.
10:38One slip could spread the poison.
10:40I was fully focused.
10:42Sweat beaded on my forehead, but I didn't dare to wipe it.
10:46Time passed slowly.
10:47The only sounds were the tools and the heavy beat of a heart.
10:51His breath was uneven, sometimes fast, sometimes weak.
10:55Twice his heart stopped, but I pulled him back for twelve long hours.
11:01I didn't leave his side.
11:03Isolde fainted halfway.
11:04The soldiers took her away.
11:06The other doctors waited, taking turns outside the tent.
11:10Only I stayed by the bed, watching over him alone.
11:14Late into the night, his high fever finally broke.
11:17He was still very pale, but the deathly gray faded.
11:21I checked his heart rate.
11:22It was almost back to normal.
11:24My nerves finally relaxed.
11:26An exhaustion washed over me.
11:28I leaned against the bed and fell fast asleep.
11:32In a daze, I woke up.
11:34I saw him staring at me.
11:36What a look in his eyes.
11:38The confusion quickly faded.
11:40It turned into pure shock, then into a deep, aching pain.
11:44He just kept staring at me, trying to say something, but no sound came out.
11:48That was not a look of thanks.
11:50Absolutely not.
11:51My heart sank to the bottom.
11:53His voice was raspy.
11:54Elena.
11:55The sound was like a blade, stabbing straight into my ears.
11:59Mr. Charles, you're mistaken.
12:01I am just an army doctor.
12:03His eyes were locked on me, as if carving my image into his soul.
12:07It really is you.
12:09I cut him off, my voice cold.
12:11You have just recovered.
12:13Your mind is still clouded.
12:15You are awake now, which means the treatment worked.
12:19Follow the doctor's orders.
12:20I will take my leave now.
12:22I turn to leave quickly.
12:24Don't go!
12:25He struggled to sit up, hissing as his wound pulled.
12:29I paused for a second, but I did not look back.
12:33Elena, don't leave.
12:34Rafe appeared at the entrance.
12:35He blocked my path.
12:37President Sun just woke up.
12:38He still needs your care.
12:40His gaze was sharp.
12:42He seemed to recognize me.
12:44I suppressed my irritation and spoke calmly.
12:47President Sun's condition has improved.
12:49A weak but firm command came from inside the tent.
12:53Better stay.
12:54There was a trace of pleading in Charles's voice.
12:57In the end, I stayed.
12:59It wasn't because of the command.
13:01It was because I saw it.
13:03The flash of despair in his eyes.
13:05It was the look of a man, grasping his last hope while dying.
13:09The snow lotus was truly a holy relic, working its magic deep inside his wounded body.
13:15With my care and the power of the sacred flower, his blackened wound slowly turned back to normal.
13:22Fresh pink flesh started to grow over the injury, but his gaze toward me made my chest feel tight.
13:28It was not thanks, nor was it simple curiosity, but something heavy, dark, and impossible to name.
13:35He would stare at me.
13:37He would stare at me quietly for hours on end, especially when I gently changed his bandages.
13:41His eyes were so deep and full of unspoken things that I dared not meet them or look back at
13:47him.
13:48Isolde came to visit him nearly every single day, showing him perfect gentle care and pure devotion.
13:54Her eyes were filled with warm love for Charles, but they held cold suspicion when they turned to me.
14:00One day, she walked in with a cup of warm nutrient drink and saw him gazing longingly at my quiet
14:06back.
14:07The cup slipped from her hand and crashed to the floor, and her voice shook with fear and sudden disbelief.
14:15Charles! Have you two met each other before now?
14:18Charles stayed silent. His face was hard to read.
14:21After a long moment, he finally spoke in a low voice.
14:25Isolde, I don't know how to explain this to you.
14:29He did not deny it, not even a single little word.
14:32Isolde's face turned pale, as pale as a ghost.
14:36I let out a quiet sigh, deep inside my own heart, feeling the wheel of fate start to turn once
14:42again.
14:43No matter how hard I tried to change my own path, it all led back to the same sad old
14:48ending.
14:48Once Charles could walk, he started visiting my tent more often.
14:53He didn't say a word, just watched me quietly as I treated soldiers.
14:57Sometimes he would help with small tasks, or order supplies to be sent to me.
15:02Soon, rumors began to spread throughout the entire military camp.
15:06People were making up stories about a romance between the two of us.
15:10I couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to finally confront him.
15:14Mr. Charles, your wounds are healed, and I am resigning from my post.
15:19Charles swayed slightly, almost losing his balance as he stood there.
15:23You're leaving? To where?
15:25He asked me with a trembling voice.
15:27I avoided his gaze, looking away as I answered him.
15:31To where I am needed. You have fully recovered now.
15:34Isolde is devoted to you.
15:36And the soldiers need their leader here.
15:38I no longer belong in this place.
15:40It is time for me to go.
15:42Who says you don't belong?
15:44Elena.
15:46I know I owe you so much.
15:48I cut him off.
15:49The anger from two lifetimes finally exploding.
15:52You owe me nothing!
15:54In our past life, you only trapped me.
15:57You ended everything with that letter.
16:00Saying you owed her, not me.
16:03In this life, I saved you twice.
16:04And now we are finally even.
16:06Please just let me go.
16:08My words hit him like a bolt of lightning.
16:11Charles turned ghostly pale as the light in his eyes went dark.
16:14So you really are back?
16:17And you remember everything?
16:19His voice was trembling, with his eyes turning a deep red.
16:22I remained perfectly calm as I told him the cold truth.
16:26I remember every single thing.
16:28So I know how to choose now.
16:31In this life, I only want to heal people.
16:34And live as a free woman.
16:35Your power, your duties, and your love have nothing to do with me.
16:40He looked at me.
16:41His face filled with overwhelming pain.
16:44What if I told you that I only just realized...
16:47Don't say another word.
16:49Turning away to pack my bags.
16:52Whatever you want to say, it is already far too late.
16:57Our story ended when you wrote that letter, maybe even long before that.
17:00I picked up my luggage, walking to the entrance of the tent.
17:04I paused for a moment, but I did not look back at him.
17:08I hope you recover soon.
17:10Reclaim your power and grow old with Isolade.
17:12Then I lifted the flap, stepping out into the cold, dark night.
17:17This time, no one tried to stand in my way.
17:20I thought that I was finally free.
17:23I intentionally avoided the main roads, traveling through the quiet back routes.
17:28The war was not over yet, and wounded villagers were everywhere.
17:32I traveled around practicing medicine, but I no longer used my real name.
17:37I went by Dr. Maeve, living as a simple, local healer.
17:42About one year later, I stayed in a small town in the south.
17:46This place was untouched by war, and the local people were very kind.
17:50I settled down in a wooden cabin, right by the edge of a peaceful lake.
17:55I treated patients during the day, and studied herbs throughout the night.
18:00Life was supposed to be quiet, until one very rainy night.
18:03A sudden, urgent knocking started echoing loudly against my door.
18:08I opened the door.
18:10Two strangers were carrying a stretcher, and the person on the stretcher was covered with a cloak, breathing weekly.
18:16Dr. Maeve, please save this traveling merchant!
18:18We found him outside town! His old wounds flared up! He is dying! Please help him right now!
18:23I told them to carry the man inside quickly.
18:25When I brushed away his wet, messy hair, my entire body froze in complete shock.
18:30It was Charles, looking thin and almost unrecognizable.
18:34His face was flushed with fever. His lips cracked.
18:38His breathing was so weak, it had almost stopped.
18:41Even in this mess, I could never forget that face.
18:44I snapped my head toward the men who brought him.
18:47One of them was Rafe, disguised but with familiar eyes.
18:51His voice was hoarse, filled with a desperate plea.
18:54I beg you, please save his life.
18:57No one else can save him except for you.
19:00Anger and helplessness washed over me all at once.
19:03I wanted to kick them all out of my house.
19:05But I am a doctor. I cannot ignore the dying.
19:09Everyone get out. I need quiet, quiet to examine him.
19:13After the checkup, my heart sank halfway down.
19:15Old wounds hadn't healed, and new ones were added.
19:18On top of that, constant worrying had drained him.
19:21It was a miracle that he even made it here.
19:24That night, I used everything I had ever learned.
19:27I poured precious medicines into his body like water,
19:30just to steal this man back from the grip of death.
19:33This man, whom I had once both loved and hated.
19:36I thought that we were already even.
19:38But by dawn, his fever finally started to drop.
19:42I was so exhausted that I felt like collapsing.
19:46Leaning against the wall, I watched Charles' sleeping face.
19:49Even in a coma, his brow was tightly furrowed.
19:52Why? Why are you doing this to me now?
19:57You failed me in our past life.
20:00So why must you torture me in this one too?
20:03He didn't wake up until two days later.
20:05The setting sun shone through the window onto his face
20:09as he slowly opened his eyes to the world.
20:11His gaze was filled with a deep, silent emptiness.
20:15He turned his head to watch me mixing herbs,
20:18staring at me for a very long time.
20:20You still chose to save me.
20:22He whispered.
20:23His voice was raspy, but I didn't stop my work.
20:26I am a doctor.
20:28I know you hate me.
20:29I hate those memories too.
20:31In my mind, I see your back as you left me.
20:35I see you sitting alone in the mirror on our night.
20:37I see your face when you read that final letter.
20:40His words came in broken pieces,
20:43like a blunt knife cutting my old scars.
20:45I thought I married you only for gratitude
20:47and that what I felt for Islo was love.
20:50But in this life, when I saw the light fade from your eyes,
20:54I finally understood.
20:56Alina, it was a feeling for you
20:58that I was simply too afraid to admit.
21:01Back when you first saved me,
21:03during those days and nights, I loved you.
21:06But I carried too much responsibility
21:08and I couldn't see my own heart clearly.
21:10So I masked my feelings with duty,
21:13calling it gratitude just to hide the truth.
21:15I thought making you my wife
21:18was the best way to repay your kindness.
21:21I never realized that for you,
21:23it was nothing more than a cage.
21:26His voice grew more and more excited
21:28as a sickly red flush crept across his face.
21:31In this life, I wanted to make amends.
21:34But I realized I didn't even have the right.
21:37You left so firmly,
21:39choosing to walk away with absolutely nothing.
21:42I broke off my engagement with Isolid,
21:45spending every moment trying to find you.
21:47But I didn't know what to say.
21:49Sorry is too light,
21:51and I love you is a joke.
21:53This time I got hurt on purpose.
21:55His voice was terrifyingly calm now,
21:57and I completely stopped mixing the medicine.
21:59I knew my old wounds hadn't healed,
22:02and I knew the enemy was waiting for me.
22:04I thought if I died right there,
22:06I would finally be free from this pain.
22:10Maybe then,
22:10I could finally stop torturing you once and for all.
22:13And I would not have to torture myself either.
22:16Rafe fought to the death to save me,
22:18he said with a bitter smile.
22:20But in my coma, I had only one thought.
22:22If I could see you just one more time,
22:25I would be willing to die right now.
22:27So they brought me here to find you,
22:29even if they had to use this desperate way.
22:33I am sorry, Alina.
22:34It seems that I have been selfish once again.
22:37I clenched my fists until my nails drew blood,
22:40feeling a heavy, suffocating pain in my chest.
22:43I didn't feel that much hatred anymore,
22:45only an endless, hollow sense of sorrow.
22:48He looked at me with eyes that were both clear and full of despair.
22:51Alina,
22:52I don't dare to ask for a second chance,
22:55because I know that I don't deserve it.
22:57I just wanted to tell you that I was a fool,
22:59never seeing my own heart in our past life.
23:01In this life,
23:02being able to see you again
23:03and telling you this in person is enough.
23:05I am a doctor,
23:07and I worked so hard to save you.
23:09I finally spoke,
23:11my voice sounding hoarse.
23:12I didn't save your life,
23:14just to sit here
23:15and listen to you say your final words.
23:18He looked at me,
23:19a tiny spark of light flickering for a moment
23:21in his tired eyes.
23:22I know my own body very well, Alina.
23:25My heart and lungs are already failing me.
23:27I am only staying alive for a bit longer,
23:30by using medicine to drag out my remaining days.
23:33Every moment I spend looking at you now
23:36is time I have stolen away from death.
23:38His words felt like a cold, heartless sentence,
23:41and in my heart,
23:42I knew the truth as well.
23:44His time was indeed running out very fast,
23:46and even with all my skills,
23:48I was powerless.
23:49In the days that followed,
23:51the atmosphere was strange,
23:52but peaceful.
23:53Charles stayed inside my humble wooden cabin,
23:56as I did my best to keep him alive.
23:58We rarely spoke to each other anymore,
24:01leaving the room in a heavy silence.
24:03While I mixed medicine,
24:04he just quietly watched the lake or my back.
24:07Two bodyguards in disguise stayed nearby,
24:10hiding in the shadows to protect him.
24:12Isolde came to visit him,
24:14looking much thinner than she did before.
24:16Her expensive clothes could not hide
24:17how exhausted and broken she truly felt.
24:20When she saw the scene inside the house,
24:22the light in her eyes finally went out.
24:25She didn't make a scene or scream.
24:26She just stood silently by the door.
24:29She watched Charles from a distance,
24:31with tears streaming down her pale face.
24:33Charles looked at her with nothing but guilt,
24:35knowing he had caused her so much pain.
24:39Isolette, I am so sorry.
24:41I have wasted so much of your life.
24:44Please go back home now,
24:46and try your best to forget me.
24:48Isolde finally left the cabin in tears,
24:51realizing that Charles never belonged to her.
24:53Charles' health continued to get much worse,
24:56as he coughed up blood more often.
24:58He spent most of his time drifting in and out
25:00of a very long sleep.
25:02When he was awake,
25:03he seemed to have a bit more energy.
25:05He would chat about everyday things,
25:07carefully avoiding any heavy or painful topics.
25:11After a rainstorm one autumn afternoon,
25:14he suddenly seemed to feel much better.
25:17He leaned by the window,
25:18watching the rain wash the entire world clean.
25:22Helena.
25:22He called out to me softly,
25:24his voice barely louder than a whisper.
25:26Rather a next life.
25:27Never mind, let's not have a next life.
25:29He smiled at me,
25:30and his smile was very gentle and kind.
25:32And if ending this life like this,
25:34dishinged to make out what's hand effect.
25:36He looked like the young man
25:37who first woke up in the mountains.
25:38I am so sorry.
25:40You have to watch me die again.
25:43I stopped mixing the medicine,
25:45my hands starting to tremble slightly.
25:47Don't cry, he whispered,
25:49looking at me with such gentle eyes.
25:51This time, please,
25:52do not shed any more tears for me.
25:55Only then did I realize
25:56that my tears were already falling down.
25:58He struggled to raise his hand,
26:00wanting to wipe the tears from my face.
26:01But before he could touch me,
26:03his arm fell back down without any strength.
26:06I reached out to grab his hand,
26:07and he used his last bit of power to hold mine.
26:10He took one final look at me,
26:12his gaze lingering for a long, quiet moment.
26:15Forget me, and go away.
26:18Be the free and great doctor you always wanted to be.
26:22His eyes slowly drifted shut,
26:23with a smile of true relief on his lips.
26:26All the life left his body,
26:28as he let go of the world forever.
26:30The rain tapped against the roof,
26:31and the damp air was filled with the scent of flowers.
26:34He had lost his very last spark of life,
26:37leaving me alone in the quiet room.
26:39I just sat there silently,
26:41holding his cold hand in mine.
26:43I let my tears fall without a sound,
26:45watching the man I once loved and hated.
26:48He finally got his wish,
26:49dying in a place where I was by his side.
26:52I watched him finish his journey,
26:54after traveling through two long lifetimes.
26:57The bodyguards eventually came inside,
26:59to take care of everything that was left.
27:01I didn't ask them where they would take Charles' body.
27:04Those things no longer matter to me,
27:06as I prepared to move on with my life.
27:08I thought that this was the end,
27:10but I realized that I was completely wrong.
27:12Three months after Charles passed away,
27:14news finally reached my small, quiet town.
27:17Mr. Charles had died from his injuries,
27:20and the entire nation was now in deep mourning.
27:24At the same time, a secret order reached my ears.
27:28Charles' younger brother became the new president,
27:30and he ordered a hunt for me.
27:32They called me a murderer,
27:34accusing the local healer of killing President's son.
27:37Charles' death caused a massive wave of shock
27:40throughout the entire nation.
27:42The congressman believed President's son was murdered,
27:45and I was the prime suspect.
27:47Isolde completely broke down
27:49after seeing that Charles was with me before he died.
27:51She claimed I poisoned President's son
27:53out of a twisted sense of broken love.
27:56How incredibly ironic this was.
27:58In my past life, I died for him,
28:01heartbroken by his final letter to me.
28:04In this life, I was facing execution
28:06for the crime of trying to save him.
28:09Rafe found me and shouted,
28:11Dr. Maeve, you have to run now.
28:13They have already sent men to catch you.
28:14You must leave this place immediately.
28:16Where exactly could I go?
28:18The soldiers are everywhere now.
28:19Go to the northern desert,
28:20or even beyond the western seas.
28:22President's son ordered me before he died
28:24to keep you safe at any cost.
28:26This is the very last thing that he truly owes to you.
28:29There is no need.
28:30I am tired.
28:32Dr. Maeve!
28:33Thank you, but say no more.
28:35Your duty was to protect President's son,
28:37not to worry about me.
28:40Now that he is gone,
28:42you are finally a free man.
28:44He looked at me with complex emotions
28:46before turning and vanishing into the night.
28:49I did not try to run away.
28:52Three days later,
28:54the soldiers surrounded my small wooden cabin
28:56by the lake.
28:57Now I am just waiting
28:58to hear the final judgment against me.
29:01The charge was the murder of President's son,
29:03and I didn't say a single word to defend myself.
29:06I let them bind my hands tightly
29:08as they began the long journey back to the capital.
29:12On the road,
29:13I saw many familiar faces watching me
29:15from the sides of the path.
29:18Soldiers I once treated
29:19and local healers
29:20all stared at me
29:21with pity and confusion.
29:23Some people tried to step forward for me,
29:25but the soldiers quickly pushed them all back.
29:28The dungeon was cold and very damp,
29:31where I sat in a special cell
29:33awaiting my fate.
29:35Isolde came to visit me
29:37just one time,
29:38wearing a simple dress
29:39with red, swollen eyes.
29:41He asked me,
29:42Are you satisfied now?
29:44Her voice cold and filled
29:46with bitter resentment.
29:47Charles broke off our engagement for you
29:49and he spent his days miserable and alone.
29:52In the end, he died because of you.
29:54Are you happy with what you have done?
29:57I looked at her with nothing but pity,
29:59feeling sorry for the woman standing before me.
30:02Do you truly love him as a man,
30:04or do you just love the title of the First Lady?
30:06Her expression changed instantly at my words.
30:09What kind of nonsense are you talking about?
30:11I asked her.
30:12If he wasn't President's son,
30:14would you still be this obsessed with him?
30:17If he were just a simple villager,
30:20would you have waited for him all these years?
30:23Isolde was speechless,
30:24unable to find an answer,
30:25while I remained perfectly calm in my cell.
30:28I loved him once,
30:30I told her quietly.
30:31I loved the man who was a wounded villager,
30:34and the boy with the clear, honest eyes.
30:37But that man died at that very moment
30:39that he chose to become President's son again.
30:41The man you love and the man I loved
30:44have never truly been the same person.
30:47Isolde backed away in a total daze,
30:49then turned and fled from the dark dungeon.
30:51The man you love and the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and
30:52the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and
30:52the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and
30:52the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and
30:52the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and
30:52the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and
30:52the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and
30:52the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and the man you love and
