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