00:03they say every beautiful story starts the same way a hero saves a damsel and she gives him her
00:08heart forever but my story is not that it was my wedding night to duke kyle blackwood his lips were
00:15just inches from mine about to complete our vows then his servant burst pale and panicked your
00:20grace miss lena has collapsed her father just passed away without a word he abandoned our
00:26wedding and rushed out of the manor into the night from down the hall his voice carried through the
00:31house best physician in london at once lena is weak how can she bear such grief i stood there
00:36looking at the spilled wine the overturned table amanda my mother's maid her eyes were red lady
00:43alara this is too much tonight was your wedding night he left a lady of the realm alone on her
00:50wedding night for a court attack this is a disgrace all high society knew it all the noble world knew
00:56it the great duke of blackwood's heart had long belonged to that courtesan tonight i lived the
01:02truth and the truth was worse than any rumor the wedding candles burned through the night
01:07the duke did not come back
01:11but the truth is the rumors started long before our wedding duke kyle blackwood had stepped in to
01:16protect a fragile young woman named lena a courtesan who was being harassed by powerful
01:21nobles at the top salons lena was the kind of woman you couldn't look away from slender seemingly
01:26fragile but with the beauty that left every noble in the room speechless a lord tried to force her into
01:32marriage the duke stopped her a hero saves a helpless woman she gives him her heart an old
01:38tale but then the duke said something that surprised everyone i have no duchess so i will not take a
01:44mistress lightly lena deserves better than that she should not be treated that way the queen heard
01:49about it too she worried i would be hurt so before the wedding she called me to the palace
01:54allura you've heard the rumors about blackwood and that corsant if you're not comfortable with
01:59this match i can cancel it i won't blame you my parents and brothers can all die fighting for the
02:04world the queen honored house calloway's sacrifice and took me in she gave me something almost no woman
02:10had ever received she let me inherit the calloway family title she had always been more than fair
02:16to me far more than the crown required but becoming duchess of blackwood was the queen's own command
02:22it couldn't be undone easily so i knelt before her and said what i had to say your majesty i
02:28am not
02:28wronged the duke is one of the most powerful noble of esholy's generation this is exactly the
02:34married i want there's no need to cancel it as 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 but i never imagined that
02:46the
02:46humiliation of my wedding night was only the beginning the next morning i went to pay my respects
02:53to the duke's mother kyle was already there lena clung to his side dressed head to toe in black
02:58mourning clothes it was a style noble women almost never wore its hem barely reaches her thighs
03:04she hid behind the duke she swayed like she might collapse at any moment then right in front of me
03:11lena greets the duchess last night was all my fault i ruined your grace's wedding night please
03:16punish me however you wish then the duke's face was caught between guilt and pleading
03:20her father just died she has no one now nobles are circling her trying to force her into marriage
03:26she has nowhere to go i thought i could take her as my mistress give her a place to belong
03:32if you can't accept this i'll send her away at once and you'll never see her again lena wept in
03:37silence she lifted her head her face soft and helpless please your grace have mercy lena has nowhere
03:44else to go if there's no place for me here then lena would rather die allura the decision
03:50is yours
03:54our family is known for kindness and generosities as duchess i trust you'll choose the true one
04:04i
04:07taking her as a mistress costs you nothing her status will never surpass yours
04:12if i refused i was cruel if i accepted i was a fool the play had been written before i
04:16even
04:16walked through the door my lord saved lena's life lena swore to repay him i am willing to take
04:23the medicine and will never challenge your position alora lena doesn't scheme you don't have to be so
04:28hard on her
04:31your grace please my lady can't take that potion she's already carrying the duke's child help her up
04:37at once a woman with child must not perform deep curfles why didn't you tell me how long have you
04:43been carrying this alone i thought i would quietly end the pregnancy myself so you wouldn't have to
04:48suffer because of me alara even if this child is born it will never surpass your children but this
04:54is kale's blood we cannot abandon it when the child is born it will call you mother i looked
05:00at the three of them watching their tears and performance i smiled if his feelings are as deep
05:05as the rumors say he should make her duchess that would be a love story worth telling for generations
05:12kale relaxed at the first half of my words then the second half hit his face hardened make her duchess
05:18alara lena and i have never what never loved each other or the child she's carrying isn't yours
05:24you once announced i will not take mistresses lightly now i understand what those words really meant
05:28not a mistress just a secret kept in the shadows isn't that right duchess lena is not that kind of
05:38woman lena only only loves him i never asked for more not even a mistress then that's worse at least
05:46a
05:47mistress has a title without one what will her child be when it's born a bastard with no standing
05:52in society lena didn't mean whatever you meant i will give your love exactly what it deserves
05:58my lady last night's wedding ceremony was never completed the duke spent his wedding night with lena
06:03all of my attendants saw it every servant in this manner can testify to it therefore this engagement is
06:12void what do you mean i know last night was my fault but lena's father had just died i had
06:17no choice
06:18this won't happen again we start over i will spend the rest of my life making this up to you
06:24alara
06:25if you dissolve this engagement you are trampling the queen's command do you understand what that means
06:31hale this engagement was the queen's gift and you buried it on the very first night abandoning your
06:36duchess to comfort a court sir if the queen seeks to punish anyone she will not punish the orphan
06:40daughter of a general that you abandoned you speak to me of duty when you decided what she needed did
06:45you spare even one second to think of me duchess please this is all lena's fault i will leave the
06:50manor right now you will never see me again i will never let the duke fall into trouble because of
06:55me
06:56she stepped closer and lowered her voice so only i could hear lady calloway he has always chosen me he
07:03always will you never had a chance if you leave the queen will punish the duke please if anyone should
07:09go let it be me you really want me to stay then hear this clearly if i stay you will
07:14never set foot in
07:15this manner again not once lena doesn't know what to do please duchess tell lena she turned to the duke
07:26her voice turning small and fragile kail did lena do something wrong lena only wanted to repay you lena
07:32can be a servant lena asks for nothing only please let lena stay by your side alara let her stay
07:40she defers to you in everything you have my word he still thought he was worth bargaining
07:48duke kail my answer stands the engagement is resolved from this day forward your life has nothing to do with
07:55lena clutched her black mourning dress putting on a pitiful act as she made to turn away if the
08:00duchess has no place for me then i shall leave there's no need for more words kyle grabbed her arm
08:06you're not going anywhere i am the duke of blackwood everything in this malice is mine to decide he
08:14turned to me i am merely giving her a protected status what noble house in london hasn't taken in a
08:21woman in distress what duchess would make such a scene over this he slowly stood up straight you're
08:27nothing more than an orphan sheltered by royal favor your title was given your status was given
08:32step outside this manor you have nowhere to go do you really believe the queen will go to war with
08:39house blackwood over you he thought he had cornered me he forgot what i was i was the daughter of
08:48the
08:51eye and blood true nobility does not kneel amanda my voice carried clear and steady through the hall
08:57pack our things raise the calloway crest i lifted my gaze cold and proud we are returning to the calloway
09:07estate the room went silent
09:15this is no retreat it is the beginning of his ruin the calloway estate had been sealed for
09:23over a decade since my father and brothers fell on colonial battlefields this manor once the
09:29very symbol of english martial nobility had been locked away untouched life left the servants
09:36shined the silver candle lips and brass fixtures they relit the marble hearts in the great hall
09:41i personally oversee the restoration of the family library and the gallery of military honors my
09:47father's battle maps his sword his portrait his medals every detail placed according to the strict
09:55customs of victorian nobility i stood at the center of the great hall looking up at the portraits of
10:01my ancestors my spine was straight i had lost an engagement i had lost the shelter of a husband
10:08but i had not lost my blood i had not lost my honor on the seventh day after the estate
10:16came back to
10:16life a carriage bearing the royal crest drew up before the gates a royal messenger in red uniform
10:23bowed and presented a letter sealed with wax the summons from the palace had arrived
10:29i entered the carpeted audience chamber lowered myself into a graceful curty before the queen
10:36then knelt in silence back straight waiting to be addressed i knelt before her composure unbroken
10:42your majesty the engagement between myself and the duke of blackwood cannot proceed his heart belongs
10:49to another and miss lena is already with child beside me amanda knelt as well tears streaming down her
10:57face as she recounted every detail of the wedding night the queen listened from her throne her expression
11:04growing darker by the moment i knew blackwood was frivolous of heart she said at last but i did not
11:12him so bold to abandon a royal engagement on the wedding night itself for a courtesaire
11:21she exhaled slowly her tone softening as she offered a reminder
11:25but illara if you retreat to the calloway estate now london society will talk
11:31i lifted my gaze my eyes were clear my voice was steady
11:36your majesty the fault was not mine my father and brothers gave their lives for this realm
11:43the honor of house calloway i can uphold it myself the queen was silent for a long moment
11:50then something like approval surfaced in her eyes you are truly your father's daughter
11:55strength honor house callaghan will rise again by your hand with those words the audience
12:02this matter of dignity of honor came to its close and i at last had walked completely out of the
12:11cage
12:11called marriage three days after my audience at the palace the queen's royal gifts began arriving at
12:18the calloway estate word spread the tide of london society turned overnight the lords the generals
12:25widows 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 the countess of harwit
12:37came herself she took both my hands in hers her voice earnest
12:43illara you carry the spirit of a warrior's daughter you have the crown's favor you deserve
12:50nothing less than the finest this world has to offer blackwood and that cordycet they are but specks
12:56of dust in your path do not waste a thought on them i received them with poise every gesture
13:02impeculate neither pride nor resentment marved my composure victorian high society does not weep for
13:10tears it bows only to those who hold their honor high and stand with their backs straight i had not
13:16cried i had not begged i had not clung to any man and yet by blood of the calloway line
13:24by the trust of
13:25the crown i had claimed the most honorable place in london society all of this kale blackwood did not yet
13:32know he still believed in his innocence that i was merely smoking that in a few days i would swallow
13:39my pride and come back to blackwood manor he would never know that i had already walked towards
13:45something far freer far brighter far more my own than any duchess's title could ever be
13:53kale had always believed that i was merely throwing a tantrum a bride wronged on her wedding
13:58night nothing more he was certain that in a few days i would swallow my pride return to blackwood
14:04manor not until the crown's gifts arrived at calloway house not until the old allies entitled
14:10ladies began arriving at my door did the truth finally strike him i was never coming back i submitted
14:16the formal dissolution of the engagement to the ecclesiastical court for filing
14:21soon after the queen addressed the matter at court blackwood has set aside the match i arranged for
14:27him in favor to a courtesate i will not force a man to honor what he has already dishonored
14:33all of london understood clearly the queen's displeasure was never with me the disappointment
14:38the disdain they belonged to kale blackwood when word reached blackwood manor kale found himself
14:44like a beast caught in a trap no room to maneuver he had no choice left but to marry the
14:49courtesan
14:49who carried his child but he never understood that in the world of victorian nobility no great
14:54house would ever accept a courtesan wearing the blackwood ducal crown he had torn apart the crown's
14:59dignity with his own hands and with those same hands he had thrown his family's honor into the mud
15:05the humiliation that awaited the mockery had only just begun
15:11in london a noble wedding was never a private matter it was a ceremony of lineage of honor of
15:17the crown's recognition but the wedding of kyle and lena was a laughing got from the very start on
15:21the day of the ceremony the guests filled the hall yet not a single heart carried genuine well
15:26wishes they had all come to witness how this scandal would unfold let the bride step forward to receive
15:32her vows suddenly her face changed her stomach turned she could no longer hold it back before
15:40the eyes of every guest lena bent over and vomited onto the ceremonial carpet the air frozen then pandemonium
15:53take her away the honor of house blackman has been dragged through the mud the hasty wedding barely
15:59begun ended in contempt and chaos the once charming duke of blackwood had become overnight the greatest
16:04joke in london's movie
