00:02They say every beautiful story starts the same way.
00:05A hero saves a damsel, and she gives him her heart forever.
00:09But my story is not that.
00:11It was my wedding night to Duke Kyle Blackwood.
00:14His lips were just inches from mine, about to complete our vows.
00:17Then his servant burst pale and panicked.
00:19Your Grace, Miss Lena has collapsed.
00:22Her father just passed away.
00:24Without a word, he abandoned our wedding and rushed out of the manor into the night.
00:28From down the hall, his voice carried through the house.
00:31Best physician in London at once.
00:33Lena is weak. How can she bear such grief?
00:35I stood there, looking at the spilled wine, the overturned table.
00:39Amanda, my mother's maid.
00:41Her eyes were red.
00:42Lady Allara, this is too much.
00:46Tonight was your wedding night.
00:48He left a lady of the realm alone on her wedding night for a quartetet.
00:52This is a disgrace.
00:53All high society knew it.
00:55All the noble world knew it.
00:56The great Duke of Blackwood's heart had long belonged to that courtesan.
01:00Tonight, I lived the truth of it.
01:02And the truth was worse than any rumor.
01:04The wedding candles burned through the night.
01:07The Duke did not come back.
01:10But the truth is, the rumors started long before our wedding.
01:14Duke Kyle Blackwood had stepped in to protect a fragile young woman named Lena.
01:18A courtesan who was being harassed by powerful nobles at the top salons.
01:22Lena was the kind of woman you couldn't look away from, slender, seemingly fragile, but
01:27with a beauty that left every noble in the room speechless.
01:30A lord tried to force her into marriage.
01:32The Duke stopped him.
01:34A hero saves a helpless woman.
01:36She gives him her heart.
01:38An old take.
01:39But then the Duke said something that surprised everyone.
01:41I have no Duchess, so I will not take a mistress lightly.
01:45Lena deserves better than that.
01:46She should not be treated that way.
01:48The Queen heard about it too.
01:49She worried I would be hurt.
01:51So before the wedding, she called me to the palace.
01:54Allura, you've heard the rumors about Blackwood and that corsant.
01:57If you're not comfortable with this match, I can cancel it.
02:00I won't blame you.
02:01My parents and brothers had all died fighting for their own.
02:05The Queen honored House Calloway's sacrifice and took me in.
02:08She gave me something almost no woman had ever received.
02:11She let me inherit the Calloway family title.
02:14She had always been more than fair to me.
02:16Far more than the crown required.
02:18But becoming Duchess of Blackwood was the Queen's own command.
02:21It couldn't be undone easily.
02:23So I knelt before her and said what I had to say.
02:26Your Majesty, I am not wronged.
02:29The Duke is one of the most powerful noble of Eshroili's generation.
02:33This is exactly the married I want.
02:35There's no need to cancel it.
02:37As for the rumors, noble marriages were never about love.
02:40As long as he didn't humiliate me after the wedding, I could live with it.
02:44But I never imagined that the humiliation of my wedding night was only the beginning.
02:50The next morning, I went to pay my respects to the Duke's mother.
02:54Kyle was already there.
02:55Lena clung to his side, dressed head to toe in black mourning clothes.
02:59It was a style noble women almost never wore.
03:02Its hem barely reaches her thighs.
03:04She hid behind the Duke.
03:06She swayed like she might collapse at any moment.
03:09Then right in front of me, she sank into a deep curtsy.
03:11Lena greets the Duchess.
03:13Last night was all my fault.
03:14I ruined your Grace's wedding night.
03:15Please punish me however you wish.
03:18Then the Duke's face was caught between guilt and pleading.
03:20Her father just died.
03:22She has no one.
03:23Now nobles are circling her, trying to force her into marriage.
03:26She has nowhere to go.
03:28I thought I could take her as my mistress.
03:30Give her a place to belong.
03:31If you can't accept this, I'll send her away at once and you'll never see her again.
03:36Lena wept in silence.
03:37She lifted her head, her face soft and helpless.
03:40Please, Your Grace, have mercy.
03:43Lena has nowhere else to go.
03:44If there's no place for me here, then Lena would rather die.
03:48Allura, the decision is yours.
03:53Our family is known for kindness and generosities.
03:57As Duchess, I trust you'll choose the true one.
04:04I...
04:07Taking her as a mistress costs you nothing.
04:10Her status will never surpass yours.
04:12If I refused, I was cruel.
04:13If I accepted, I was a fool.
04:15The play had been written before I even walked through the door.
04:17My lord saved Lena's life.
04:19Lena swore to repay him.
04:21I am willing to take the medicine and will never challenge your position.
04:25Allura, Lena doesn't scheme.
04:27You don't have to be so hard on her.
04:31Your Grace, please!
04:32My lady can't take that potion!
04:34She's already carrying the Duke's child.
04:36Help her up at once.
04:38A woman with child must not perform deep kerfals.
04:41Why didn't you tell me?
04:42How long have you been carrying this alone?
04:44I thought I would quietly end the pregnancy myself so you wouldn't have to suffer because of me.
04:48Ilara, even if this child is born, it will never surpass your children.
04:53But this is Kale's blood.
04:54We cannot abandon it.
04:56When the child is born, it will call you mother.
04:59I looked at the three of them, watching their tears in performance.
05:03I smiled.
05:04If his feelings are as deep as the rumors say, he should make her Duchess.
05:08That would be a love story worth telling for generations.
05:11Kale relaxed at the first half of my words.
05:14Then the second half hit.
05:15His face hardened.
05:16Make her Duchess.
05:17Ilara, Lena and I have never...
05:19Never what? Never loved each other?
05:21Or the child she's carrying isn't yours?
05:24You once announced I will not take mistresses lightly.
05:26Now I understand what those words really meant.
05:28Not a mistress.
05:30Just a secret kept in the shadows.
05:32Isn't that right?
05:35Duchess.
05:36Lena is not that kind of woman.
05:38Lena only...
05:39Only loves him.
05:40I never asked for more.
05:42Not even a mistress?
05:44Then that's worse.
05:46At least a mistress has a title.
05:47Without one, what will her child be when it's born?
05:50A bastard with no standing in society?
05:53Lena didn't mean...
05:54Whatever you meant, I will give your love exactly what it deserves.
05:58My lady, last night's wedding ceremony was never completed.
06:02The Duke spent his wedding night with Lena.
06:03All of my attendants saw it.
06:04Every servant in this manner can testify to it.
06:07Therefore, this engagement is void.
06:12What do you mean?
06:13I know last night was my fault.
06:15But Lena's father had just died.
06:17I had no choice.
06:18This won't happen again.
06:20We start over.
06:21I will spend the rest of my life making this up to you, Alara.
06:24If you dissolve this engagement, you are trampling the Queen's command.
06:28Do you understand what that means?
06:31Hale, this engagement was the Queen's gift.
06:33And you buried it on the very first night, abandoning your Duchess to comfort a court, sir.
06:37If the Queen seeks to punish anyone, she will not punish the orphan daughter of a general that you abandoned.
06:42You speak to me of duty.
06:43When you decided what she needed, did you spare even one second to think of me?
06:46Duchess, please!
06:48This is all Lena's fault.
06:49I will leave the manor right now.
06:51You will never see me again.
06:53I will never let the Duke fall into trouble because of me.
06:56She stepped closer and lowered her voice so only I could hear.
06:59Lady Calloway, he has always chosen me.
07:02He always will.
07:03You never had a chance.
07:04If you leave, the Queen will punish the Duke, please.
07:07If anyone should go, let it be me.
07:09If you really want me to stay, then hear this clearly.
07:13If I stay, you will never set foot in this manor again.
07:16Not once.
07:19Lena doesn't know what to do.
07:21Please, Duchess, tell Lena.
07:24She turned to the Duke, her voice turning small and fragile.
07:28Kale, did Lena do something wrong?
07:30Lena only wanted to repay you.
07:32Lena can be a servant.
07:33Lena asks for nothing.
07:34Only, please, let Lena stay by your side.
07:37Alara.
07:39Let her stay.
07:40She defers to you in everything.
07:43You have my word.
07:44He still thought he was worth bargaining.
07:47Duke Kale, my answer stands.
07:50The engagement is dissolved.
07:51From this day forward, your life has nothing to do with mine.
07:55Lena clutched her black mourning dress,
07:57putting on a pitiful act as she made to turn away.
07:59If the Duchess has no place for me, then I shall leave.
08:03There's no need for more words.
08:04Kyle grabbed her arm.
08:06You're not going anywhere.
08:08I am the Duke of Blackwood.
08:10Everything in this malice is mine to decide.
08:13He turned to me.
08:15I am merely giving her a protected status.
08:18What noble house in London hasn't taken in a woman in distress?
08:21What Duchess would make such a scene over this?
08:24He slowly stood up straight.
08:26You're nothing more than an orphan sheltered by royal favor.
08:30Your title was given.
08:31Your status was given.
08:32Step outside this manor.
08:34You have nowhere to go.
08:37Do you really believe the Queen will go to war with House Blackwood over you?
08:41He thought he had cornered me.
08:42He forgot what I was.
08:44I was the daughter of the Callowah Hill line.
08:47Before Fort Crown ever took me in, I was already forged in iron and blood.
08:52True nobility does not kneel.
08:54Amanda, my voice carried clear and steady through the hall.
08:57Pack our things.
08:59Raise the Callowage crest.
09:01I lifted my gaze, cold and proud.
09:04We are returning to the Calloway estate.
09:09The room went silent.
09:15This is no retreat.
09:18It is the beginning of his ruin.
09:21The Calloway estate had been sealed for over a decade.
09:24Since my father and brothers fell on colonial battlefields,
09:28this manor, once the very symbol of English martial nobility,
09:31had been locked away, untouched, life left.
09:35The servants shined the silver candle lips and brass fixtures.
09:38They relit the marble hearths in the great hall.
09:40I personally oversee the restoration of the family library and the gallery of military honours,
09:46my father's battle maps, his sword, his portrait, his medals.
09:52Every detail placed according to the strict customs of Victorian nobility.
09:57I stood at the centre of the great hall, looking up at the portraits of my ancestors.
10:02My spine was straight.
10:04I had lost an engagement.
10:06I had lost the shelter of a husband.
10:07But I had not lost my blood.
10:10I had not lost my honour.
10:13On the seventh day after the estate came back to life,
10:16a carriage bearing the royal crest drew up before the gates.
10:20A royal messenger in red uniform bowed and presented a letter sealed with wax.
10:25The summons from the palace had arrived.
10:29I entered the carpeted audience chamber.
10:32Lowered myself into a graceful curty before the queen.
10:36Then knelt in silence, back straight, waiting to be addressed.
10:40I knelt before her, composure unbroken.
10:42Your Majesty.
10:44The engagement between myself and the Duke of Blackwood cannot proceed.
10:48His heart belongs to another.
10:50And Miss Lena is already with child.
10:53Beside me, Amanda knelt as well, tears streaming down her face
10:57as she recounted every detail of the wedding night.
11:00The queen listened from her throne.
11:02Her expression growing darker by the moment.
11:06I knew Blackwood was frivolous of heart, she said at last.
11:10But I did not him so bold.
11:13To abandon a royal engagement on the wedding night itself.
11:17For a courtesaire.
11:21She exhaled slowly, her tone softening as she offered a reminder.
11:25But Ilara, if you retreat to the Calloway estate now, London society will talk.
11:31I lifted my gaze.
11:33My eyes were clear.
11:34My voice was steady.
11:36Your Majesty.
11:38The fault was not mine.
11:40My father and brothers gave their lives for this realm.
11:43The honour of House Calloway.
11:45I can uphold it myself.
11:47The queen was silent for a long moment.
11:50Then something like approval surfaced in her eyes.
11:53Yes, you are truly your father's daughter.
11:55Strength.
11:56Honour.
11:57House Callaghan will rise again by your hand.
12:00With those words, the audience, this matter of dignity, of honour, came to its close.
12:07And I, at last, had walked completely out of the cage called marriage.
12:12Three days after my audience at the palace, the queen's royal gifts began arriving at the Calloway estate.
12:19Word spread.
12:20The tide of London society turned overnight.
12:23The lords, the generals, widows, the ladies of title, those who had kept their distance when my engagement fell apart,
12:31now sent their calling cards, eager to renew their ties with House Calloway.
12:36The Countess of Harwit came herself.
12:39She took both my hands in hers, her voice earnest.
12:43Elara, you carry the spirit of a warrior's daughter.
12:47You have the crown's favour.
12:49You deserve nothing less than the finest this world has to offer.
12:53Blackwood and that cordycet, they are but specks of dust in your path.
12:57Do not waste a thought on them.
12:59I received them with poise, every gesture impeculate, neither pride nor resentment marved my composure.
13:07Victorian high society does not weep for tears.
13:10It bows only to those who hold their honour high and stand with their backs straight.
13:15I had not cried.
13:17I had not begged.
13:18I had not clung to any man.
13:20And yet, by blood of the Calloway line, by the trust of the crown,
13:25I had claimed the most honourable place in London society.
13:29All of this, Cale Blackwood did not yet know.
13:33He still believed, in his innocence, that I was merely smulking.
13:37That in a few days, I would swallow my pride and come back to Blackwood Manor.
13:41He would never know that I had already walked towards something far freer, far brighter,
13:47far more my own than any Duchess's title could ever be.
13:53Cale had always believed that I was merely throwing a tantrum.
13:56A bride wronged on her wedding night, nothing more.
13:59He was certain that in a few days, I would swallow my pride,
14:03return to Blackwood Manor.
14:05Not until the crown's gifts arrived at Calloway House.
14:07Not until the old allies' entitled ladies began arriving at my door.
14:11Did the truth finally strike him?
14:13I was never coming back.
14:15I submitted the formal dissolution of the engagement to the ecclesiastical court for filing.
14:20Soon after, the Queen addressed the matter at court.
14:24Blackwood has set aside the match I arranged for him in favour to a courtesate.
14:29I will not force a man to honour what he has already dishonoured.
14:33All of London understood clearly.
14:35The Queen's displeasure was never with me.
14:37The disappointment, the disdain, they belonged to Cale Blackwood.
14:41When word reached Blackwood Manor, Cale found himself like a beast caught in a trap.
14:45No room to manoeuvre.
14:46He had no choice left but to marry the courtesan who carried his child.
14:50But he never understood that in the world of Victorian nobility,
14:53no great house would ever accept a courtesan wearing the Blackwood Ducal crown.
14:58He had torn apart the crown's dignity with his own hands.
15:01And with those same hands, he had thrown his family's honour into the mud.
15:05The humiliation that awaited him, the mockery, had only just begun.
15:11In London, a noble wedding was never a private matter.
15:14It was a ceremony of lineage, of honour, of the crown's recognition.
15:18But the wedding of Cale and Lena was a laughing gop from the very start.
15:21On the day of the ceremony, the guests filled the hall.
15:23Yet not a single heart carried genuine well-wishes.
15:26They had all come to witness how this scandal would unfold.
15:29Let the bride step forward to receive her vows.
15:35Suddenly, her face changed.
15:37Her stomach turned.
15:38She could no longer hold it back.
15:40Before the eyes of every guest,
15:41Lena bent over and vomited onto the ceremonial carpet.
15:44The air frozen.
15:45Then, pandemonium.
15:47She's already with a child.
15:49Who the father is.
15:50Only she knows.
15:53Take her away.
15:54The honour of House Blackman has been dragged through the mud.
15:57The hasty wedding, barely begun, ended in contempt and chaos.
16:00The once charming Duke of Blackford had become, overnight,
16:04the greatest joke in London's movies.
