Short filmTranscript
00:00Polo, the god of light, shot a woman with his arrow during the spring hunt.
00:07Her name is Phaedra.
00:09Polo fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to marry her, but his betrothed was me.
00:13Phaedra and I love each other.
00:15We have already been intimate.
00:18Kleis, if you are understanding and considerate, you'll agree to break this engagement.
00:23Phaedra had been in a relationship for two months.
00:26They deliberately chose my birthday to break off the engagement.
00:29The entire banquet was filled with guests.
00:32Hera was extremely dissatisfied.
00:34Apollo, you come here with this excuse.
00:37Have you thought about what will happen to Kleis?
00:39Phaedra timidly did Apollo's sleeve.
00:41Apollo, please don't fight the queen because of me.
00:44Apollo pulled her cloak.
00:45I won't let you face the whispers alone.
00:47He looked at me with a touch of disdain.
00:49You're highborn, Kleis.
00:51Surely you're not going to fight Phaedra over a man?
00:55You have plenty of gods to choose from.
00:56If you cling to this engagement, it would be extremely embarrassing.
01:00The daughter of Zeus and Hera compete with others for a man?
01:03He must be dreaming.
01:04What they don't know is, if the news of the broken engagement spreads, Zeus will issue
01:09a new decree.
01:10I remain unshaken.
01:12I would still be the future queen of Olympus.
01:14But the person standing beside me will be someone else.
01:17I have already won the game.
01:19With every inch that Apollo's arrogance grows, his status will fall by one inch until he has
01:24nothing left.
01:25The guests buzzed with whispers.
01:27Who doesn't know that Kleis has always deeply loved Apollo?
01:31How could she possibly be willing to break off the engagement?
01:34Apollo looked at me with disgust, as if he was certain that I would cry and beg him not
01:39to abandon me.
01:40I wasn't angry.
01:41I just simply took out the golden apple.
01:43Apollo, this is the token of our betrothal.
01:47From this moment on, we have no further connection anymore.
01:51Everyone looked astonished, not expecting me to be so calm.
01:55I looked at Phaedra, who had not yet had time to stop crying.
01:58And Phaedra, no need to cry.
02:01You got married to Apollo as you wished.
02:04Shouldn't you be happy?
02:05Kleis, I know I'm not as noble as you.
02:08I never meant to steal your betrothed.
02:10There's no need to mock me.
02:12Apollo let out a cold laugh.
02:14Kleis, you're so eager to end this.
02:17Don't tell me you've already got someone else.
02:19He swept his gaze across the crowded hall.
02:22Since it's your birthday, why not choose a new husband right here?
02:26With that, he smiled, took Phaedra by the arm, and walked out.
02:30My birthday celebration ended in chaos.
02:32The next day, Mother summoned me to her palace, because his mother was of such low birth.
02:37Apollo was bullied throughout Olympus.
02:39Hera saw how pitiful he was and took him in.
02:42Apollo and I were childhood sweethearts and grew up together.
02:45That's precisely why everyone believed that he would become the future ruler of the gods.
02:50My child, I know you've been treated unfairly.
02:53I never expected that he would actually cancel the engagement.
02:56Mom, I also don't want to marry someone who doesn't love me.
02:58My Kleis, you are the best woman on Olympus.
03:02Don't worry.
03:03The position of future queen belongs to you.
03:05By now, Dad had heard about Apollo breaking the engagement.
03:08He angrily scolded Apollo.
03:09You fool!
03:11Klei is my dearest daughter, and you break this engagement for a worthless woman?
03:19Even after Zeus's rebuke, Apollo showed no fear.
03:22He came to Hera's palace with Phaedra.
03:24He knelt before Hera.
03:25I only want to marry the woman I love.
03:27Can't I marry someone I truly desire?
03:30Hera looked at him with disappointment.
03:32You and Kleis grew up together.
03:33When you knelt before me and begged for this match, you said, you said you loved her.
03:37That you would stand by her for all eternity.
03:39And now you say she was never the one?
03:41Apollo lifted his chin and held Phaedra's hand tight.
03:44Mother, Kleis follows every rule.
03:46She's dull, but Phaedra is different.
03:49She's radiant.
03:51Captivating.
03:51Behind the curtain, I let out a small, bitter smile.
03:55Hera's voice was ice.
03:56Apollo, do you know what you would lose if you were deprived of the support of our family?
04:00I am the heir.
04:01The future king of the gods.
04:03What do I have to fear?
04:05His face lit up with a new idea.
04:07I know you love Kleis.
04:09Why not let her be my second wife?
04:11Behind the curtain, I clenched my fists.
04:13This bastard.
04:14Hera's voice was cold as frost.
04:17Kleis will never be a second wife.
04:18Apollo, you are just my adopted son.
04:21Do you think you can keep your place by yourself?
04:24Of course I can.
04:25I am the future king of the gods, Mother.
04:27Apollo, think carefully.
04:29If you marry Phaedra, there is no turning back.
04:32I knew Mother had made her decision.
04:34I said nothing more and quietly slipped away.
04:36I emerged from the palace.
04:38Apollo was waiting outside.
04:40He blocked my path.
04:41Kleis, I was rash yesterday.
04:43I thought it over.
04:44I was wrong.
04:46Zeus scolded me today.
04:47I shouldn't have damaged your honor like that.
04:50I want you to be my second wife.
04:52This way we can still be together.
04:54And I won't have broken my promise.
04:56He looked at me with tender eyes, waiting for me to nod in gratitude.
05:00But I did not.
05:01Our engagement is over.
05:04Do not bring it up again.
05:06Kleis, a woman must be sweet and gentle if she wants a man's love.
05:11A woman rejected by the heir to Olympian.
05:15Who in the world would dare marry you?
05:17I spoke with pride.
05:18That's not for you to worry about.
05:21Kleis.
05:22His face darkened.
05:23Too much pride.
05:25And men will stop feeling sorry for you.
05:28When you become my second wife, I will teach you some manners.
05:32From that day on, Apollo took Phaedra everywhere across Olympus.
05:36One day, you will be the most honored woman on Olympus.
05:39Phaedra nestled in his arms, soft and fragile.
05:42Apollo, are you truly willing to give up Kleis for me?
05:44I don't want to cause trouble for you.
05:46Apollo held her tighter, his voice soft.
05:49Don't worry.
05:49I am the heir.
05:50Can't I give the woman I love the title she deserves?
05:53Hera had no son of her own.
05:54She raised me.
05:56Who else does she have to turn to but me?
05:58She'll give in.
05:59Those words soon reached Zeus.
06:01Zeus's face darkened.
06:03He swept the golden cups from the table and shattered them.
06:05Hera heard it too.
06:06A cold smile crossed her lips.
06:08Who else does he think I have to rely on?
06:11Has he forgotten that we don't have only one option?
06:14A few days later, Hera held a grand feast in her palace.
06:17Using this as an excuse, they want to help me choose a husband.
06:21The gods were drinking and laughing, enjoying the feast.
06:24Apollo walked in with Phaedra on his arm.
06:26Behind them, attendants carried gold and silver chests.
06:29Apollo looked at me with a broad smile.
06:31I came uninvited.
06:33Consider this my apology.
06:34He smiled and stepped forward, pressing a kiss to my hand.
06:38Everyone's face went pale.
06:39I hear your wedding is a pro-chation.
06:41I wish you and your future bride a long and happy union.
06:45May the gods bless your union.
06:47My words drew a clear line between us.
06:49Apollo paused, then laughed again.
06:51Are you still angry?
06:52I swear to you here and now, after Phaedra, you will be my most honored compaim.
06:58The guests exchanged bewildered looks.
07:00Phaedra giggled sweetly.
07:03Yes, dear Kleiss.
07:04Even though you can't wear the first wife's golden crown, but I had the jewelers make you a gift.
07:10She motioned, and the attendants opened the chests.
07:12A magnificent set of ruby necklace and armbands.
07:15But those were the kind of jewels only a concubine would wear.
07:18Hera and the other guests' faces turned to stone.
07:20This was an insult laid bare.
07:22I stared coldly at Phaedra's smug face.
07:25Perhaps you should find someone to teach your future bride some manners,
07:27so she learns what to say and what not to say.
07:30My family never agreed to this marriage.
07:32Keep it for yourself.
07:33How dare you!
07:34I am the future queen!
07:35Is there a decree from Zeus naming you queen?
07:38Since there is no such decree, perhaps you should show some restraint.
07:41Pride comes before the fall, Phaedra.
07:43Tears streamed down Phaedra's face.
07:45She threw herself into Apollo's arms.
07:47I didn't mean it that way.
07:48Why is she so cruel to me?
07:50Apollo's face darkened.
07:52Since you refuse to show gratitude, then I will show you none.
07:56Take Kleist to my palace.
07:57Apollo's attendants stepped forward surrounding me.
08:00They meant to take me away.
08:02Every god at the feast watched in horror.
08:04Suddenly, a voice rang out from outside.
08:08A decree from the king of gods.
08:11Apollo's face lit up with joy.
08:13Zeus must have agreed.
08:15Now are you satisfied?
08:16The herald stood before us.
08:19By the will of Zeus, king of gods.
08:21Kleis is deemed a worthy match for Aris, god of war.
08:24She will become the wife of Aris.
08:26Apollo looked up in shock.
08:28What?
08:28Aris' wife?
08:30How can Ares take my woman?
08:32The herald smiled.
08:34This is Zeus' decision.
08:36I took the decree with reverence.
08:38Thank God for his grace.
08:40Kleis, you cannot agree to this order.
08:43You are supposed to marry me.
08:45Apollo, I have accepted the will of Zeus.
08:47Please stop bothering me.
08:49I said you will not marry another.
08:52Kleis, in this life you marry only me.
08:55Apollo, why are you holding my future wife?
08:58A clear, steady voice sounded from behind.
09:01It was Aris.
09:02He was dressed in armor and looked extremely brave.
09:05With a cold and medicine look in his eyes, he walked towards Apollo.
09:08Aris glared fiercely at Apollo.
09:10The flames of rage in his eyes about to burst glory.
09:13Aris' mother died when he was young.
09:16After his mother died, he left for the wars.
09:18For years, he fought in the realms, earning glory after glory.
09:23Because he never wanted the throne of Olympus, Apollo became heir so easily.
09:28Only because Ares stayed away, the guests began to whisper among themselves.
09:33It's Ares.
09:34He has returned and also get married to Hera's niece.
09:39Apollo looked at Ares' dust-covered armor.
09:42Ares, you probably don't know the whole story.
09:45Kleis and I grew up together.
09:46We love each other.
09:48This engagement decree is just a mender standing.
09:50You, who only know how to fight, had better stop handling it.
09:54Apollo, you are the heir to Olympians.
09:55Is this the way you treat those who fight for us?
09:57He is invincible, is a true warrior.
10:00Ares smiled gently and looked at me.
10:02Kleis, do you truly wish to marry me?
10:05My face flushed.
10:06You are the most renowned warrior god.
10:09I greatly admire you.
10:11I would be honored to marry you.
10:12Ares extended his hand.
10:14Then let me escort you.
10:15Let's go and express our gratitude to Zeus and Hera, together.
10:19I placed my hand gently in his.
10:21We walked out together.
10:22I am grateful to look at him.
10:24Thank you, Ares.
10:25I know you came to help me because of my parents.
10:28Don't worry.
10:29Once we get married, I will help you secure your place as the king of the gods.
10:34After I left, Ares began to speak to himself.
10:36Kleis, I married you not because of anything in particular.
10:39Because I have loved you for a very long time.
10:42That night, Ares came personally to deliver the wedding gown.
10:45He opened the chest.
10:46Inside lay a flowing gown of moonlight white.
10:49Gold olive branches were embroidered along the hem.
10:52I had never seen such a stunning dress.
10:54Ares looked at me with deliberate distance.
10:57I know you chose me because you had no other choice.
11:00If anything isn't to your liking, just tell me.
11:05I love it.
11:06Just as I was about to put the dress away, Phaedra walked in, holding Apollo's arm and
11:11looking very proud.
11:12Kleis, surely you don't have just this one dress?
11:16Apollo prepared ten whole wedding gowns for me.
11:19Each set is more magnificent than the last one.
11:22I became a little impatient and looked at them.
11:24Phaedra, not everyone cares about these things.
11:27Is it that you don't care?
11:29Or simply can't afford it?
11:30This is what happens when you refuse to be my second wife.
11:33Ares looked at me seriously.
11:35It was me who caused you to suffer injustice, Kleis.
11:38I swear to you, I will never betray you.
11:41Phaedra snorted.
11:42Pretty words are easy to say.
11:44She thought Apollo was the best choice.
11:46After all, Apollo is the ruler of the gods in the future.
11:49I was about to speak, but Ares took my hand.
11:52Kleis, let's go.
11:53No need to argue with them.
11:55I held hands with Eris and walked away.
11:57Poor Phaedra.
11:58She didn't know that the throne of the god of gods would soon be taken by someone else.
12:03Ares' deep voice sounded in my ear.
12:05Kleis, I know you chose me because you had no choice.
12:09But I swear, within my power, I will never let you suffer.
12:14Eris, I chose you willingly.
12:16All right, Kleis.
12:18Three days later, the wedding took place as planned.
12:20Both ceremonies were held in the great hall of Hera's palace.
12:23They invited all the gods of Olympus to bless them.
12:26Ares placed a golden crown, woven with olive branches on my head.
12:30After the ceremony, I ran into Phaedra face to face.
12:33She deliberately tilted her neck, showing off the marks Apollo had left.
12:36Kleis, I had no idea Apollo had such passion.
12:40I bet I'll be pregnant with his child very soon.
12:43I smiled slightly.
12:44Then I wish you luck with that.
12:45My calm demeanor pissed her off.
12:48It looked like defiance to her.
12:50Whatever, you wouldn't get it anyway.
12:52You're stuck with that rude brute now.
12:55She gave a disgusted glance at Ares in the distance, hitched up her skirt, and rushed past me.
13:00On our wedding night, Ares arranged for me to sleep in a silk-filled bedroom, but he slept in the
13:05next room himself.
13:06What was Ares so worried about?
13:08I quietly pushed the door open.
13:10I saw Ares sitting by the bed.
13:12He held something in his hand, his gaze tender yet sad.
13:15I stepped closer, and froze.
13:17It was a faded bracelet, but I recognized it.
13:20I had woven it when I was twelve.
13:21Later, I lost it somewhere and never found it again.
13:24How do you have this?
13:26Ares looked up, a flicker of panic in his eyes.
13:29You... when did you come in?
13:31Answer me.
13:32How do you have this bracelet?
13:33He was silent for a long time.
13:35At the spring festival when you were twelve.
13:37You left it under the olive tree.
13:39I picked it up, but then you were betrothed to Apollo.
13:42I thought, it was better if I kept it.
13:45He, as if speaking of something trivial.
13:49All these years I took it with me to battle.
13:51Whenever I was wounded, I would take it out and look at it.
13:55Why?
13:56I was quite surprised.
13:57I never imagined that someone would cherish something I had casually thrown away like this.
14:03Because I have loved you for a very long time.
14:05I couldn't believe it and raised my head, locking eyes with Ares' deep gaze.
14:11Why didn't you ever tell me?
14:13He smiled bitterly.
14:15You are the princess.
14:18I...
14:18Just being able to watch you from afar was enough.
14:21He closed the bracelet in his palm.
14:25Cleus, I know you chose me because you had no other choice.
14:28If Apollo hadn't broken the engagement, you would never have looked at me.
14:31His voice was calm, but held deep pain.
14:34I don't need you to accept me out of gratitude.
14:36I only hope, one day, you truly want this.
14:39He stood and stepped back.
14:41Get some rest tonight.
14:42He turned to leave.
14:43Ares!
14:44I reached out and took his hand.
14:46He stopped.
14:46I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him.
14:51Ares, let me be your true wife.
14:53He froze for a moment.
14:55Then, his arms wrapped around my waist.
14:57The kiss was soft, gentle.
14:59He pulled back, pressing his forehead to mine.
15:02Cleus, do you truly want this?
15:03I looked into his eyes.
15:04Not out of gratitude.
15:05When they looked at me, there was only tenderness.
15:08Ares, I am willing.
15:10He pulled me into his arms.
15:13Cleus, I will protect you for the rest of my life.
15:16He lifted me and laid me gently on the back.
15:18His palms were rough, but warm.
15:20One last time.
15:22It's not too late to back out.
15:23I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck.
15:25Ares, I want you.
15:28His kiss fell from my forehead, to my eyes, to my lips.
15:31He whispered in my ear, his voice husky.
15:34My wife.
15:36Then, he entered me.
15:37Soon, the news that Zeus intended to replace the heir to the throne spread among the people.
15:43Slowly, gods began to gather around Ares.
15:45More and more voices rose against Apollo.
15:48For example, driving the sun chariot across the sky was Apollo's daily duty.
15:53But he took Phaedra and lingered in the mortal forests and lakes.
15:57By the time they returned to Olympus, lost in their romance.
16:01Seven whole days had passed in the mortal world.
16:03Without the sun's light, the earth was plunged into darkness and cold.
16:08Crops withered.
16:09Rivers froze.
16:10Countless mortals died in the cold.
16:12Apollo knew nothing of this.
16:14He was still enjoying himself with Phaedra.
16:16His negligence sparked fury among gods and mortals alike.
16:20The gods of Olympus also submitted complaints against him.
16:23While Apollo was still enjoying his journey, I and Ares promptly headed to the mortal city-states.
16:29Before more mortals froze to death, we ended the suffering.
16:34More and more deities began to support Ares as the future leader of all the gods.
16:39Only then did Apollo return, late and unconcerned.
16:43But the damage he had caused could not be undone.
16:46Zeus, the mortal world suffered a rare cold's frame.
16:51I have done all I could to fix it.
16:53The sun now rises again in the sky.
16:56The people are grateful for your protection.
16:58With that, he pulled out a mortal's praise poem from his robes.
17:02It was filled with thanks to the gods and praise for Apollo himself.
17:06Zeus looked at the poem, shaking with rage.
17:08Apollo, why don't you explain to me why the complaint I received is nothing like Yoam!
17:16You abandoned your duty, leaving the meatle world in darkness for seven days.
17:21Do you admit your crime?
17:23Apollo fell to his knees, his face pale.
17:26Zeus, I was wrong.
17:27From this day on, you are no longer the heir.
17:30Apollo collapsed to the ground.
17:32Phaedra let out a scream.
17:33No!
17:34I was supposed to be queen!
17:36You can't do this to me!
17:38Hera gave her a cold look.
17:40Take her away!
17:41Guards dragged the screaming Phaedra out of the council chamber.
17:44Zeus stood, his gaze sweeping over all the gods.
17:48Ares.
17:49Ares stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
17:52Zeus looked at him with approval in his eyes.
17:54All these years you have guarded the mortals on the battlefield.
17:57You saved countless lives.
17:59From this day forth,
18:01Eris is the new heir to Olympus.
