00:00My sister and I are competing to be Apollo's mate.
00:02I drank the sweet wine mom gave me. It was drugged.
00:06Drink up, Leo. It'll give your cheeks a healthy glow.
00:10I trusted her. I drank the whole glass.
00:13By the time I stood before Queen Hera, my face was already beet red.
00:17The drug kicked in. I lost control before the gods.
00:21So embarrassing. Hera frowned at me.
00:23She acts like a fool. Not fit for Apollo.
00:26My sister Kalista was perfect. She was graceful. She was royal. She won.
00:32She became Apollo's fiancée. I ran home and begged my father for help.
00:36You messed up. Don't blame us. Kalita has class. We support her now.
00:42The royal decree arrived two weeks later. Kalista was named Apollo's bride.
00:46I was punished for my shame. I was married off to a monster. A lord from the underworld.
00:52He had already killed three wives. My life became a nightmare.
00:55My husband beat me for fun.
00:58Three years later, I was dying in the mud. I heard the servants whispering nearby.
01:02Apollo is king. Kalista is the sun queen.
01:07Only I died in that darkness. By myself.
01:10But then, I opened my eyes. I was back.
01:14It was the day of the selection. The scent of the sweet wine filled the air.
01:17There was my mom, standing there with that familiar glass of wine.
01:21She had that same fake smile.
01:23Drink this, Leah. It'll give you some color.
01:27I glanced at the wine, then back at mom.
01:33She has perfect brows and a tiny mole on her cheek.
01:37I have her eyes, but not the mole. Kalista has it.
01:40I once asked, isn't she adopted?
01:42Why does she look like you?
01:44Mom's face went cold. She slapped me hard.
01:47Don't ever say that again. It hurts her.
01:49I snap back to reality and grab the wine.
01:51Sister, a toast before we enter the palace.
01:54Let's promise to help each other, no matter what.
01:57Kalista freezes. I see panic in her eyes.
02:00She knows. This wine is spiked.
02:02I-I-I'm too full. I might feel bloated.
02:05She stammers.
02:07I let out a cold laugh.
02:09What's wrong?
02:10You always tell me to eat more.
02:13Why won't you take one single sip?
02:15The room goes dead silent.
02:17My father frowns, ready to speak.
02:19Suddenly, mom accidentally bumps me.
02:22The glass hits the floor and shatters.
02:24Glass shattered. Wine was everywhere.
02:27My mother snapped at me.
02:28Let's hello!
02:30You're heading to the palace. Stop being so clumsy.
02:34What if you ruined your sister's dress?
02:36She rushed to check on Kalista, looking worried.
02:38My sister looked stunning in simple white linen,
02:41but that simple fabric shimmered with expensive silk.
02:44She wore pearls and gems from my mother's own dowry.
02:47Then there was me, dressed in a linen skirt,
02:50a cheap dress without any makeup.
02:53This dress suits you.
02:54My mother had lied.
02:56I looked tacky, like a cheap village girl.
02:58In my past life, I walked into the palace as a total joke.
03:02I heard the girls whispering.
03:04Is she really the beauty of Athens?
03:08Her mom dresses her like trash and calls it vintage.
03:12Back then, I thought they were just jealous of my mom's love.
03:15Now I see the truth.
03:16She was trying to ruin me.
03:17The bronze chariot is waiting.
03:19It's time.
03:20I'm leaving for Olympus.
03:22I'm wearing a cheap, flashy dress.
03:25Olympus has rules.
03:27Watch your mouth.
03:29Your mother made this sweet wine.
03:31You were too stubborn to drink it.
03:33Take it.
03:34Finish every last drop.
03:36I knew the wine was poisoned.
03:38I took it calmly, without a word.
03:40Then he turns to Kalista.
03:42His voice completely changes.
03:43It's soft.
03:44It's kind.
03:45Kalita, honey, be careful.
03:47I've already settled everything for you.
03:52Kalista isn't even his real daughter.
03:54But they gave her our family name.
03:56They made her the first daughter.
03:59My father pities her.
04:00My mother.
04:02She loves her more than me.
04:06In this house, I'm the stranger.
04:08I thought my dad forced her into it.
04:10I believed she really loved me.
04:13But in my past life, as I lay dying,
04:15I sent my maid home to see her folks for me.
04:18She overheard my parents talking.
04:20My mom wouldn't stop crying.
04:22Don't worry, honey.
04:24Kalista is the goddess of light now.
04:26And she's pregnant.
04:28Her future is huge.
04:30My sister is looking down from heaven.
04:34But what about Leto?
04:37The Lord has a temper.
04:39But she's still the main wife.
04:41She'll survive.
04:42And if she doesn't,
04:44well, that's just her fate.
04:49News to me.
04:51Years ago, my dad was engaged to my aunt.
04:55She was his true love.
04:56His white moonlight.
04:58But she was framed at a party with a stableman.
05:02Her reputation was ruined.
05:03My mom took her place.
05:06Kalista was the child of that scandal.
05:08When my aunt died of a broken heart,
05:10dad brought her home.
05:12My mother loved her like her own blood.
05:15In my past life,
05:17hearing this broke me.
05:19As I died, staring at the ceiling,
05:21I made a vow.
05:23If I get a second chance,
05:25they will pay in blood.
05:27Now, I'm back.
05:29I'm done with this family.
05:30The carriage bumps toward Mount Olympus.
05:34Lani Salinas watches me like a hawk.
05:37She's Hera's most trusted servant.
05:39I take a deep breath.
05:40I pull the heavy gold pins from my hair.
05:43I wipe off my thick makeup with holy water.
05:46I look like a completely different person.
05:48I push the expensive jewelry toward her.
05:51I know it was a long trip.
05:53This is for you.
05:54They're too heavy for me now.
05:55She saw how my family treated me.
05:57She weighs the gold and hides it in her sleeve.
06:00Thank you, Miss Leto.
06:01She whispers.
06:02Then, she leans close.
06:04That orrid handkerchief in your sleeve.
06:07The stitching is very rare.
06:09Is it Athens silk?
06:11My heart stops.
06:12That cloth is all I have left of my grandma.
06:15She was the best weaver in all of Greece.
06:18Keep thee safe, Leto.
06:19She told me before she died.
06:21If you're ever in trouble,
06:23they will save you.
06:24My mother took everything else my grandma owned.
06:28She claimed she was protecting it.
06:30These handkerchiefs are all I have left.
06:32In my past life, I was suffering in the underworld.
06:35I tried to sell them just to pay for a doctor.
06:38But the cruel lord threw them into the fire.
06:41Suddenly, Mother Selenus speaks up about them.
06:44You have a sharp eye.
06:46This is a family heirloom.
06:48She nods and closes her eyes.
06:50But I'm thinking.
06:52Queen Hera is obsessed with silk embroidery.
06:55Last time, Calista used this to win her favor.
06:59We reach Olympus and switch to a swan carriage.
07:03Calista looks so perfect and elegant.
07:05My mind is racing.
07:07The selection for the god's bride is coming.
07:10Last time, I failed the very first round.
07:13Calista won everything and married Apollo.
07:15This life, I'm taking everything from her.
07:19Step by step, I'm rising to the top.
07:21Thirty noble girls.
07:23Selected by Hera and the high goddesses.
07:27Calista stands at the front.
07:29Standing tall like a lily.
07:31She makes a perfect bow.
07:33Hera looks over her.
07:35Lift your head.
07:36Calista looks up.
07:37Confident.
07:38Hera smiles.
07:40Beautiful.
07:41Polished.
07:43You're the governor's daughter, right?
07:45Heard you're a total genius.
07:47Hera nods.
07:48She stays.
07:49Calista walks past me.
07:51She flashes a tiny smirk.
07:53She thinks she's already won.
07:55Now it's my turn.
07:56I step forward.
07:57I'm Leto.
07:59Greetings, Queen Hera.
08:01Hera stares at me.
08:02The room goes silent.
08:04No jewelry?
08:05No makeup?
08:06You remind me of someone.
08:08Then she notices something.
08:09Wait.
08:11You're Calista's sister?
08:12She's covered of gold.
08:14And you have...
08:16Nothing.
08:17Did your parents run out of money?
08:19Or do they just have a favorite?
08:21I answered respectfully.
08:23Even fingers aren't the same length.
08:26It's natural for parents to have a favorite.
08:28My sister is so talented.
08:31I'd give her everything I own.
08:32She's actually smiling.
08:34She had no idea I just called her a brat.
08:37I'm in.
08:37I passed the first round.
08:40Now I'm stuck in this temple.
08:4230 days to learn the divine rules.
08:44My sister Calista corners me.
08:46Why did you act so humble?
08:47You made me look like a bully.
08:49We're supposed to be a team.
08:50I played dumb.
08:52I was just telling the truth.
08:54You've always been the perfect one.
08:56But her eyes were ice.
08:57Fine.
08:58Just remember who's on your side.
09:02The door closed.
09:03I sneered.
09:05Team?
09:06Yeah, right.
09:07Later, I bribed the headmate.
09:09I slipped her a bag of gold.
09:10She leaned in and whispered.
09:11The queen loves music and weaving.
09:14But Prince Apollo, he likes archery.
09:16And one more thing.
09:18Your sister is visiting Aphrodite.
09:20My heart stopped.
09:22Ares hates Apollo.
09:23She's playing both sides.
09:25In my past life, Ares' men killed me.
09:28My family thinks they're so smart.
09:29Sucking up to rival gods at once?
09:32Go ahead.
09:32Play your games.
09:33This time, I'm flipping the board.
09:3510 days until the final selection.
09:37The temple was buzzing with noble ladies.
09:40Everyone was showing off their talents.
09:42Music, dancing, painting.
09:43It was a whirlwind.
09:45Calista went first with her zither.
09:47She was flawless.
09:49The crowd went wild.
09:50Then, it was my turn.
09:52I didn't pick an instrument.
09:53I picked up a needle and thread.
09:55I embroidered orchids on plain white silk.
09:57My secret?
09:58The dewdrops on the leaves.
09:59I used a rare thread that shimmered like water.
10:02The head matron was stunned.
10:03Leto, this technique takes 10 years.
10:06Suddenly, Queen Hera arrived.
10:12She picked up my work.
10:13Her eyes wide, she asked.
10:15Is this the lost pearl stitch?
10:17Your majesty has a keen eye.
10:18I replied.
10:19My grandmother taught me the basics.
10:21I told her my family was from Athens.
10:23The queen's expression softened.
10:25I studied with an Athenian master once.
10:27Keep practicing.
10:28I expect great things.
10:30As the queen left, the mood shifted.
10:35Calista's face went cold.
10:37That night, she cornered me.
10:39When did you learn to sew like that?
10:41I just smiled.
10:43Just something to pass the time.
10:44She laughed, but her eyes were like ice.
10:47You're full of surprises, aren't you?
10:49In the halls of Mount Olympus, standing out too much is a death sentence, she whispered.
10:54Remember, sister, the tallest tree is the first to fall.
10:59You're absolutely right, sister, I replied, acting submissive.
11:03Inside, I was laughing.
11:05Is she really this desperate already?
11:07The real show hasn't even started yet.
11:10Three days before the final selection, goddess Aphrodite gave us all a gift.
11:14A beautiful silk flower for every girl in the temple.
11:18Mine was a delicate crab apple.
11:19Stunning.
11:20But suddenly, my sister's peony flower went missing.
11:23And guess what?
11:24A matching one was found right at the bottom of my jewelry box.
11:28She burst into tears, crying to the inspectors.
11:31If you wanted it, you should have just asked.
11:33Why steal it?
11:35Stealing a divine gift is a massive crime.
11:38In my past life, she used this exact trick to frame me.
11:41But I'm not that girl anymore.
11:43I looked at the flower and said calmly,
11:45Sister, let me see that flower for a second.
11:47Calista hands me the flower with a smug smile.
11:51I take a close look and start laughing.
11:55Sister, this isn't the flower from Aphrodite.
11:59She panics.
11:59What?
12:00It looks exactly the same!
12:04Close, but it's a cheap fake.
12:07I hold it up to the sunlight.
12:10The real one has gold threads on the threads on the petals.
12:16It's supposed to sparkle.
12:18This one is just thread.
12:20She tried to frame me by hiding the real one.
12:22But I know all her little tricks.
12:25Also, the goddess marks every gift with a divine symbol.
12:30I show the crowd.
12:31This one has nothing.
12:33Why were you so sure this was yours, Calista?
12:37Do you think you're the only one allowed to have beauty?
12:41The head priestess grabs the flower.
12:46It's a fake, she says coldly.
12:49Calista turns pale.
12:50No!
12:51Someone is framing us!
12:52The priestess doesn't blink.
12:54You've been spoiled since you were a child.
12:57You stole her clothes.
12:59And now you lie to the gods?
13:01I'm telling Queen Hera everything.
13:04Calista's face goes completely white.
13:07That night, she opened the door open.
13:09The sweet girl act is finally gone.
13:15Leto, you did this on purpose!
13:17I don't know what you're talking about, sister.
13:19You knew I'd do it!
13:21You planted that fake flower!
13:22When did you start plotting against me?
13:25I looked up, my voice steady.
13:27That's a strange thing to say.
13:29I didn't take anything.
13:31My flower is right where it belongs.
13:34How is that a plot?
13:35Fine.
13:37I underestimated you, Leto.
13:39She let out a cold, sharp lap.
13:41But do you really think you can win?
13:44Mom and Dad are on my side.
13:46The family fortune is mine.
13:48You're just an outcast.
13:49You have nothing.
13:50I said calmly.
13:51I'm not trying to win.
13:53I'm just taking back what belongs to me.
13:56What belongs to you?
13:58Wake up, Leo!
13:59Dad's love?
14:01The money?
14:02Nothing here is yours.
14:05My heart stung, but I didn't show it.
14:10It's late.
14:11Get out.
14:12It was a day of the final selection.
14:15Only ten of us were left.
14:16The Queen sat on her throne.
14:19Beside her was Prince Apollo.
14:20He looked elegant in his gold robes.
14:23But his eyes were cold and distant.
14:25He clearly didn't want to be there.
14:27Calista played a romantic love song.
14:29The prince just nodded, looking bored.
14:32Then, it was my turn.
14:35I didn't bring a simple gift.
14:37I brought a silk screen with a secret.
14:40On one side, a loud, crowded party.
14:43On the other, a lonely fisherman on a river.
14:45One side was noise.
14:47The other was silence.
14:48The Queen was shocked.
14:50This is incredible skill, she said.
14:54Apollo finally looked at me.
14:56Two different worlds.
15:00Why did you choose this, Leto?
15:03Life is like this embroidery, my lord.
15:05I looked down and spoke softly.
15:07One side is for the world to see.
15:09The other side we keep for ourselves.
15:13Parties end, but loneliness stays.
15:16Finding peace in the noise is true wisdom.
15:19Apollo repeated the word.
15:21Wisdom.
15:23He turned to the queen.
15:26Mother, I want her.
15:28I made the final list.
15:31But when we got back to the palace,
15:34Calista was shaking with rage.
15:37She is going to make me pay.
15:39The night before the final selection,
15:41the temple caught fire.
15:43The flame started right outside my door.
15:46I woke up choking on smoke and ran out.
15:49In all the chaos, someone shoved me from behind.
15:52I stumbled straight toward the fire.
15:54Suddenly, a strong arm grabbed my waist and pulled me back.
15:59I looked up into a pair of cold eyes.
16:01It was a pilot.
16:03He looked so calm, like he just happened to be there.
16:06Careful, he said, letting me go.
16:09Careful.
16:10This fire is no accident.
16:12Go somewhere safe.
16:13Thank you for saving my life, my lord.
16:15He nodded and turned to lead the guards.
16:18As he left, my heart turned to ice.
16:20That push was on purpose.
16:23Someone wanted me dead.
16:24Besides Calista, who else could it be?
16:27The fire was put out fast.
16:29Official report?
16:30A fallen oil lamp.
16:32But I know the truth.
16:33My lamps weren't even lit last night.
16:35Someone tried to burn me alive.
16:38Queen Hera was furious.
16:40She demanded a full investigation.
16:42Enough!
16:44These are the ones who betrayed us.
16:47A young servant took the blame.
16:49He said he was just being lazy.
16:51But I'm not buying it.
16:53Calista hates me for embarrassing her.
16:55Now, the final selection is delayed.
16:57They moved me to a safe room.
16:59Or so they claim.
17:01Late that night, my nanny crept in.
17:03I found something.
17:05The servant who confessed?
17:06His sick mother just got a pile of gold.
17:09The money came from a shopkeeper, owned by the Ajides family.
17:12The Ajides.
17:13My own parents.
17:15They're cleaning up Calista's crimes.
17:17Now, I know who my enemies are.
17:19Three days later, the final selection begins.
17:23At the temple of Hera, the gods are waiting.
17:25Hera and Apollo sit on their thrones.
17:28Five noble girls stand in a line.
17:30The first girl, Calista, is perfect.
17:33She sounds like a genius scholar.
17:35Everyone is impressed.
17:36Then, it's my turn.
17:38Hera asks,
17:39How will you help the king?
17:41I take a deep breath and say,
17:43To help him, I must not help him.
17:46The whole room gasps.
17:47Even Apollo looks up at me.
17:50Explain yourself.
17:51I tell her.
17:52The prince has masters and ministers.
17:55A wife who interferes only causes trouble.
17:58My job is to give him a peaceful home.
18:01A wife should stay out of politics.
18:03Hera smiles.
18:05You are very wise.
18:06Apollo nods in agreement.
18:09Calista whispers.
18:11That was a risky move.
18:13Do you think he wants a wife who stays away?
18:16I look her in the eye and say,
18:18That's for the prince to decide.
18:21Don't worry about me.
18:23Apollo's big wedding is in three months.
18:25But my arrival was quiet and lonely.
18:28I moved into a small, cold palace.
18:31On day one, I met the main wife, Artemis.
18:34She's a general's daughter.
18:35Tall and brave.
18:36I bowed low.
18:38Greetings, Lady Artemis.
18:39She smiled.
18:40Please, stand up.
18:43I heard your weaving is legendary.
18:46You're even prettier in person.
18:48She grabbed my hands to help me out.
18:49Don't be so formal.
18:50It's lonely here.
18:51Let's be sisters.
18:53Just call me Big Sister.
18:54I felt a spark of warmth.
18:56Yes, sister.
18:58She frowned.
18:58Wait, your clothes are so thin.
19:00Your hands are freezing.
19:01Are they mistreating you?
19:03Someone!
19:03Bring my silver fox cloak.
19:05And make her hot soup every single day.
19:08I tried to refuse, but she wrapped it around me.
19:11Her kindness was real.
19:12For the first time, I felt safe here.
19:15The next day, I went to visit Hera.
19:17She saw the cloak Artemis gave me.
19:21Artemis is so sweet.
19:23I'm glad you two are getting along.
19:25I handed her the gift I made.
19:27It was a soft velvet headband with jade.
19:29I heard you get winter headaches, goddess.
19:31This has herbs inside to help you relax.
19:33Hera felt the soft fabric and smiled.
19:37You're such a thoughtful girl.
19:40She sat me down and shared some recipes.
19:42You're young.
19:43You need to stay healthy.
19:45My heart felt heavy, but so warm.
19:48My own mother never cared for me like this.
19:51Hera and Artemis felt like my real family.
19:53Life on Mount Olympus was peaceful.
19:56I spent my days sewing in the temple.
19:58I made hand warmers for Hera
20:00and special riding gloves for Artemis.
20:03Artemis is a horse lover.
20:05When I gave her the gloves, her eyes lit up.
20:07Leto, how did you know I needed a thief?
20:09She saw the tiny flowers I stitched to me.
20:11The ones from the palace never fit right.
20:13But these are perfect.
20:15She grabbed my hand and smiled.
20:16You understand me better than anyone.
20:18A few days later, she brought me a surprise.
20:20It was a set of men's silk robes.
20:23I was totally shocked.
20:24You're always stuck inside.
20:26Sometimes I dress as a man to go out.
20:28I want us to go riding together like brothers.
20:31Look at this handsome young man.
20:33You look like a scholar from Athens.
20:35You're way too thin, Leto.
20:36You need to learn how to box with me.
20:38Let's get you strong.
20:39Let's get you strong.
20:39Let's get you strong.
20:39Let's move on.
