Short filmTranscript
00:00My father came home from war with another woman.
00:02He said he was going to marry her.
00:04That night, I had her skinned and mounted like a hunting trophy.
00:09Father, now she can stay with you forever.
00:12He pissed himself in terror, but he still fathered a bastard in secret.
00:17When the boy crossed me, I had him gelded and sent to the palace.
00:21Father went mad after that.
00:23He tried to kill me, but burned to death instead.
00:26Every man in the capital feared me.
00:30Yet I married Wesley Pierce, the man every woman wanted.
00:33Later, Wesley returned from war with a pregnant woman.
00:36He claimed she was his fallen deputy's widow.
00:39At my winter gathering, she threw herself down the stairs, screaming that I'd killed her baby.
00:44I smiled.
00:45Call a physician.
00:46If she hasn't miscarried it, see that she does.
00:49Iris Ellis' face went pale.
00:51She struggled to get up.
00:52I lifted her chin.
00:54You can move now.
00:55A second ago, you were lying there playing helpless.
00:58Call a physician.
01:00If she hasn't miscarried, make sure she does.
01:03Violet Wilson, how can you be this vicious?
01:05My husband died in battle.
01:08This child is all he left me.
01:11You're all just going to sit there while she humiliates a widow?
01:16She wanted pity.
01:17She wanted help.
01:19She got neither.
01:20Not one woman spoke.
01:21No one was stupid enough.
01:23My grandpa armed regiments before the war ever began.
01:26My grandma was the richest woman in the kingdom.
01:29My mother was a war hero.
01:31My brother was the Lord Chancellor.
01:33And me?
01:33I was the Wilson she-devil.
01:36Octavia Valorio lifted her fan.
01:38Was that a woman crying?
01:40I thought a pig got slaughtered.
01:42I smiled and let Iris go.
01:44You look fine.
01:46The physician can wait.
01:47Dance.
01:49On the ice.
01:50I looked at the frozen lake.
01:53I heard your dancing once drove men mad.
01:56When she saw what they brought her, she dropped to her knees.
01:59Those dancing shoes were filled with crushed glass.
02:02One step would hurt.
02:03Ten would cripple her.
02:05I gave her shelter in the capital.
02:07And how did she repay me?
02:08At my winter gathering.
02:10In front of all the ladies of the court, she screamed that I wanted her baby dead.
02:14That I was jealous.
02:15That I couldn't stand Wesley caring for her.
02:18So I showed her what harm looked like.
02:20And I wouldn't do it secretly.
02:22Looks like Miss Ellis needs help.
02:24Put the shoes on her.
02:26Violet!
02:27If you do this, Wesley will never forgive you!
02:30My husband died saving his life!
02:32He promised to take care of me and my baby forever!
02:36I slapped her.
02:37Hard.
02:39He promised you?
02:40So what?
02:41What does that have to do with me?
02:44I owe you nothing.
02:45I drew the sword from my waist.
02:47I pressed it to her throat.
02:50Choose.
02:51You dance.
02:52Or you die.
02:54Your blood will stain today's snow.
02:56A thin red line rose across her neck.
02:59Her hands started shaking.
03:00She reached for the shoes.
03:02She got one foot halfway in.
03:04Sweat gathered on her forehead.
03:06Her lips lost all color.
03:07I glanced at the servants.
03:09Help her.
03:10They forced both shoes onto her feet.
03:12I smiled.
03:14She asked my husband to watch her dance the other night.
03:17She said she had nothing else to offer, only a dance.
03:20I'm his wife.
03:21I want to see it too.
03:22She barely turned once.
03:24Her feet gave out.
03:26The frozen pond was slick.
03:27She couldn't even stand straight.
03:29She gasped and collapsed again.
03:31It was pathetic.
03:32She was shaking all over.
03:34No one could tell if it was pain or cold.
03:36She bit down on her lip until it nearly bled.
03:39We sat in the pavilion.
03:41By the fire.
03:42With hot tea.
03:43She really is a fool.
03:45How did she think she could provoke you and survive?
03:49She thought Wesley would protect her.
03:51Octavia looked at me.
03:53And if he does, then I'm done with him too.
03:56She laughed.
03:57That's why I like you.
03:59No hesitation.
04:00No mercy.
04:01Not even for your own man.
04:03If I don't strike first, I'm the one who gets destroyed.
04:09I was never like other kids.
04:11Even as a child, I could see my fate.
04:14The day dad brought Lysandra Mero home.
04:16Fate flashed right in front of me.
04:18This was the beginning.
04:20This was when I was meant to become the villain.
04:23Edric would bring Lysandra home as his mistress.
04:26She would poison her mother, take her place, and then come for Violet.
04:30Behind closed doors, she would abuse Violet.
04:33Then bear a daughter to inherit the house, the name, and the entire Wilson fortune.
04:38In public, she would call Violet wild and ungrateful, and blame her for the nursemaid's death.
04:44She would drug her, marry her off to Julian Vane, and cut her off from everyone who loved her.
04:49Her grandmom would die of grief.
04:51Her brother would be blinded and crippled.
04:54Her grandpa would be framed for treason, exiled, and slaughtered with the rest of his family.
05:01Edric, meanwhile, would be praised as a loyal and righteous man.
05:05To avenge them, Violet would fight Lysandra and her half-sister.
05:09But in the end, she would fail.
05:11Lysandra would skin her alive, mount her like a hunting trophy.
05:15I was only ten.
05:17I didn't understand all of it.
05:19Not really, but I understood enough.
05:21If Lysandra married Edric, the rest of my life would be hell.
05:27So that same night, I searched her bag.
05:30I found the poison.
05:31I swallowed a little of it myself.
05:34After that, I told everyone Lysandra had laced the lemon cakes she made for me.
05:38Mom heard that.
05:40She searched Lysandra's bag herself.
05:42And found the poison.
05:44She flew into a rage.
05:45At first.
05:46For the sake of Lysandra saving dad's life, mom had been willing to let her stay.
05:51Let her live comfortably forever.
05:54But before that, she had already poisoned me.
05:56I'm innocent!
05:57That, mom would never tolerate.
05:59Please, let me see Edric!
05:59Lysandra broke down sobbing.
06:01She screamed that she was innocent.
06:03She begged to see Edric.
06:05Mom refused.
06:06She had poisoned horse down Lysandra's throat.
06:09Ten times the dose I had taken.
06:11I watched Lysandra choke out her last breath right in front of me.
06:15Mom covered my eyes.
06:16Violet, don't be scared.
06:18I pushed her hand away.
06:20I'm not scared.
06:21I still have a gift to take to dad.
06:23Mom taught me how to handle knives and swords.
06:26Even at ten, I already knew how to use a sword.
06:29I picked up the sword by my feet and held it to Lysandra's face.
06:33Mom, I want her skinned and mounted.
06:36I'll give it to dad.
06:37Then he'll never bring another woman home.
06:39When I said that, I was scared.
06:41I thought mom might hate me.
06:43I thought she might decide I was a wicked child.
06:46Instead, she stroked my hair.
06:50That's my girl.
06:51Once people see this, nobody will dare mess with you.
06:55But this filth isn't worth your hands.
06:58I'll have it made.
06:59You can deliver it.
07:00That night, I carried the trophy made from Lysandra into dad's room.
07:04Then I shook him awake.
07:06What are you doing?
07:07Dad, isn't it pretty?
07:10This is Lysandra.
07:12Now she can stay with you forever.
07:13He looked at it for a while.
07:15At last, he saw it clearly.
07:17That wasn't leather.
07:19That was human skin.
07:21He got so scared he tumbled straight off the bed.
07:23He hit the floor.
07:25A wet stain spread beneath him.
07:26Dad was pathetic.
07:28A grown man who pissed himself.
07:29I didn't even wet myself anymore.
07:33Lysandra!
07:34This is all my fault!
07:35I'll avenge you!
07:37You vicious little monster!
07:40You're this cruel at your age?
07:42I can't let you live!
07:47She poisoned Violet!
07:49She's only been here days,
07:51and she's already trying to kill my daughter.
07:53A woman that jealous deserved to die.
07:55Valeria, you are right.
07:57She deserved exactly what she got.
08:01My father behaved for three years.
08:03Then one day, a man hired thugs to harass me.
08:06He wanted to destroy my enemies.
08:08By then, my combat skills were already strong.
08:11Five grown men were nothing to me.
08:13So I captured him instead.
08:15I forced the truth out of him.
08:16When I found Dorian, fate appeared again.
08:18He was Edric's son by Lysandra.
08:19Edric never loved Valeria Wilson.
08:21He married her only for her status.
08:22He meant to bring Lysandra into the household,
08:24but she died instead.
08:25Dorian was destined to become the Chancellor.
08:27He would avenge his mother and destroy the Wilson family.
08:29I stared at him.
08:30My sword was at his throat.
08:32He was so scared, he wet himself.
08:34Just like my useless father.
08:36Him?
08:36The Lord Chancellor?
08:38Raised my hand.
08:39I took his manhood.
08:43Cast him into palace service.
08:46Let's see how he rose through the ranks.
08:52My father was furious.
08:54He summoned me to the family chapel.
08:56Dad, I did nothing wrong.
08:57Why should I kneel?
08:58You ruined a man's life in broad daylight,
09:00and you still dare say you did nothing wrong?
09:02Today, I'll teach you how to behave.
09:04He raised the Zip.
09:06That's your son!
09:07Your son with your mistress!
09:09You hate me because I ruined his future.
09:12I destroyed your precious bloodline.
09:13I was never truly your child in your eyes.
09:17So I want nothing to do with the Thornhields!
09:19With that, I smashed the Thornfield family portraits from the walls.
09:23He stopped holding back.
09:25Every strike was meant to kill.
09:27Then he lunged at me, the whip wrapped around my neck.
09:30If I had known, I should have killed you the day you were born.
09:35How dare you hurt Dorian!
09:37You deserve to die!
09:39I had held back because he was my father.
09:42But he wanted my life.
09:44I fought back.
09:45I knocked over the altar candles.
09:47The carpet caught fire.
09:49I struck him hard.
09:50He passed out.
09:53I walked out of the family chapel.
09:56Then I stood outside and watched coldly.
09:58The fire spread across his body.
10:00I smeared ash on my face and ran outside, shouting.
10:04Fire!
10:04There's a fire!
10:05My father is still inside!
10:07Help!
10:08Save him!
10:10Of course, he was not saved.
10:12My mother took me back to the Wilson's estate.
10:15I abandoned the Thornfield surname.
10:17From that day on, my surname was Wilson.
10:20Soon, I became notorious across the entire kingdom.
10:23They called me a living she-devil.
10:25After that, no fool dared provoke me again.
10:29As for fate, it never appeared again.
10:34Iris screamed.
10:35It snapped me back.
10:36Save me and my baby!
10:38I looked up.
10:39Wesley stood at the courtyard gate.
10:41Dark violet court robe.
10:43White fox cloak.
10:45His face was cold as ice.
10:47He stared at Iris.
10:48She was still struggling on the frozen lake.
10:51He strode over without hesitation.
10:53He pulled off his fox cloak.
10:55Wrapped it around her.
10:56Lifted her into his arms.
10:58And carried her away from the ice.
11:01Iris leaned against his chest.
11:03Then looked at me.
11:05Like she had already won.
11:07That cloak.
11:08I had made it for him.
11:10Wesley had always been weak in the cold.
11:12Every winter.
11:13He coughed for months.
11:15So I rode into the mountains overnight.
11:18Hunted down several white foxes myself.
11:20Had that cloak made just for him.
11:26On the way back, I fell off my horse.
11:29Injured my leg.
11:30I stayed in bed for over two weeks.
11:33When I gave him that cloak, I told him.
11:39This is yours.
11:40Never give it to anyone else.
11:42He had smiled back then.
11:44I can't even bear to wear it.
11:45Why would I give it away?
11:46Now that cloak felt filthy.
11:50After clearing the courtyard, Wesley carried Iris toward his room.
11:54I stepped in front of him.
11:56I pulled the sword from my waist and pointed it at her.
12:00Put her down.
12:03Violet, put the blade away.
12:04Gideon died because of me.
12:05Iris is pregnant.
12:06And you forced her to dance on the frozen lake.
12:08Are you trying to make her missgate?
12:10Or kill her?
12:10What if I wanted both?
12:12Wesley, just put me down.
12:14Don't fight with your wife because of me.
12:16I'm nothing.
12:17If I die, maybe that's better.
12:19At least I'll be with Gideon and our baby.
12:21My foot's already ruined anyway.
12:23Wesley looked down.
12:24Her foot was covered in blood.
12:26His face darkened.
12:28Why are you doing this?
12:30I was pushed down the stairs today.
12:31Violet was the only one there.
12:33When I asked why, she made me dance in glass-lined shoes.
12:36I already paid for what I said.
12:37Please don't fight because of me.
12:39This is insane.
12:40All this over something so small?
12:43He didn't ask me one question.
12:45Not one.
12:45He just believed her.
12:47Something so small.
12:49Me being framed was something small.
12:51I was never afraid of a bad reputation.
12:54But I would never accept a lie I didn't commit.
12:57Right then, the physician came in.
12:58I pointed at Iris.
13:00See if she's misgaging.
13:01I won't!
13:02Your wife said if this baby doesn't die, she'll make sure it does.
13:04Gideon is already dead.
13:06How can I lose his child too?
13:07I'd rather die first.
13:09Then he turned and tried to carry her out.
13:10I flicked my wrist.
13:12My sword hooked the cloak.
13:14Then I slashed.
13:16Her exploded into the air.
13:17It drifted down through the snow.
13:19Piece by piece.
13:21Wesley Pierce?
13:22Are you really choosing her over me?
13:25Violet?
13:25Why are you fighting this hard with some orphan girl?
13:29Iris has nothing.
13:30Step aside.
13:31I was utterly disappointed in him.
13:32I want an annulment.
13:34Over this?
13:36Yes.
13:37Yes.
13:37If you save her today, then this marriage is over.
13:40From now on, whoever you keep in this house is none of my business.
13:44I won't part from you.
13:47Not in this lifetime.
13:48And I am still saving her.
13:50Then he grabbed my sword hand and pulled the blade straight into his own shoulder.
13:53Blood burst through the violet court robe.
13:55I froze.
13:56I never thought Wesley's blood would stain this winter day.
13:59Take this as my apology on her behalf.
14:02Are you satisfied now?
14:03With that, he threw the sword to the ground.
14:06I stared at the blade.
14:08He had forged that sword for me himself.
14:10Back when I turned 18, everyone said girls shouldn't play with blades.
14:14Only he was different.
14:16Violet Wilson should never live like everybody else.
14:19You should be wild.
14:20Free.
14:22Do whatever you want.
14:23And now, he threw that gift for another woman.
14:26He apologized to me, his wife.
14:28For her.
14:29It was almost funny.
14:31The fox cloak was shredded.
14:32The sword was abandoned.
14:34So this marriage, whether it ends or not is no longer up to him alone.
14:40I went to the palace.
14:42I came for one reason.
14:44I wanted Cashin Valoria's help.
14:46For my marriage.
14:48Fast.
14:50Outside the council chamber, I saw Dorian Thornfield.
14:54Now, he was Cashin's servant.
14:56Cashin's favorite.
14:58For one second, I caught the hate in his eyes.
15:01He smiled.
15:02Miss Wilson, the king is still in a meeting.
15:04Please wait.
15:05You did not even announce to me.
15:07And you already know he won't see me?
15:13Snow started falling again.
15:15He never even told Cashin I was here.
15:18He wanted me standing in the cold.
15:20Please wait.
15:21He went inside.
15:22Thirty minutes later, he came back.
15:24Same answer.
15:26Wait.
15:27Two hours passed.
15:28By the time I was finally called in, my hands were numb with cold.
15:33Cashin sat in the council chamber, smiling faintly.
15:36Violet Wilson.
15:39You used your grandfather's name to get this meeting.
15:43So tell me, what do you want?
15:48I want you to grant a royal decree of annulment.
15:52Why?
15:53Because his heart is no longer mine.
15:56And I don't want him anymore.
15:58Cashin let out a cold laugh.
16:04You think very high of yourself.
16:07A man like Wesley having a mistress is hardly a crime.
16:10For six years, he had no one but you.
16:12He's only looking after a widow.
16:15And for that, you want an annulment?
16:19I will not be the one to tear that marriage apart.
16:23This was humiliating.
16:25And then I saw it again.
16:27Those cursed lines of fate.
16:47You're right.
16:48I'll take my leave now.
16:49The moment he saw I had stopped pushing for the annulment.
16:52Cashin's face softened.
16:53He waved me away.
16:55I looked up at the broken moon overhead.
16:57What a waste.
16:58More than two hours gone for nothing.
17:02Are we going back to the Pierce house?
17:03Or the Wilson estate?
17:05Neither.
17:07Take me to Princess Octavia's palace.
17:09If Cashin Valoria won't give me a way out, I'll find someone who will.
17:15Octavia Valoria was surrounded by half-naked men.
17:18She fed one boy grapes and smiled when she saw me.
17:21Well, look who's here.
17:23Did you dump your husband?
17:25Want a new one?
17:26Boys, line up.
17:28Let Miss Wilson pick.
17:30She saw my face.
17:31The teasing vanished from her eyes.
17:33Out.
17:34All of you.
17:36I looked at her.
17:38Do you want the throne?
17:40She shot up.
17:41Are you insane?
17:42She pressed a hand to my forehead.
17:44I pushed it away.
17:46I'm fine.
17:47No, you're burning up.
17:50I want an annulment.
17:51Your brother refused to help me.
17:54Octavia laughed for a long time.
17:59Whoa!
18:02All this.
18:03Over that.
18:04I poured myself a drink.
18:06You know me.
18:07I held her gaze.
18:08I do not tolerate humiliation.
18:10And you?
18:11Can you really accept it?
18:13Does he deserve your loyalty?
18:15Silence.
18:16Then she said it.
18:17No.
18:18He isn't.
18:22He was sent across the sea as a royal hostage.
18:25I went with him.
18:27I kept him alive.
18:28I stopped assassins.
18:30I saved him again and again.
18:32She drank.
18:35When we escaped in attack,
18:37he threw me out of the carriage.
18:42She drank.
18:44After that, I still protected him.
18:46Forged his alliances.
18:51I was the one who put him in power.
19:01Then she drank again.
19:04I had everything.
19:05Titles, prizes, a future.
19:08Until that accident nearly destroyed my left hand.
19:11He risked his life to find me a physician.
19:13And that was enough for me to choose him.
19:15And put him where he is today.
19:18She laughed once.
19:20And the first thing he did was marry me off for an alliance.
19:23For five years, I was trapped in that marriage.
19:27When I finally got through, I was pregnant.
19:31On the road back to the capital.
19:33And I lost the baby.
19:35Midwife!
19:36Bitterly, her eyes turned colder.
19:39The only reason I'm still alive is because he thinks I'm broken.
19:44Her eyes were red now.
19:45Not from tears.
19:46From rage.
19:48Violet.
19:49I envy you.
19:51You have a family behind you.
19:53You can do whatever you want.
19:55But I can't.
19:56If Octavia had really accepted her fate, she would have stayed quiet.
20:01She would never have built businesses in secret.
20:04She had been back only five years.
20:06And her fortune was already close to Marceline Wilson's.
20:09Her ambition had always been there.
20:11From now on, my family stands behind you.
20:15I want to see you take that road to the top.
20:20Her stare sharpened.
20:23Then why doesn't your family take it?
20:26My grandparents are old.
20:28My mother is a soldier.
20:29I leaned back.
20:31My brother is too honest.
20:33And me?
20:34I'd rather be the woman no one dares cross.
20:37A she-devil in scarlet.
20:39But you've been planning this for years.
20:41Now you have me.
20:43How do we lose?
20:45She smiled.
20:48If Cassian finds out refusing your annulment cost him everything,
20:52he'll go mad.
20:54He will.
20:55She studied me for a second.
20:57Other than the annulment,
20:59what else do you want?
21:00Your word.
21:02If you take power,
21:04my family stays safe.
21:06I want protection.
21:09I want a sworn royal guarantee if things go bad.
21:13And I want my family's trade and rights protected.
21:16I paused.
21:18And one more thing.
21:20What?
21:22And when we meet again,
21:24I won't have to bow to you.
21:26For one second,
21:28she just stared at me.
21:29Then Octavia laughed.
21:31That is the best deal anyone has ever offered me.
21:36To avoid raising suspicion,
21:38I went back to the Pierce estate.
21:41Wesley was already waiting for me in the corridor.
21:44He rushed over and pulled me into his arms.
21:46Violet, stop taking your anger out on me.
21:48Her leg was almost ruined.
21:50And even then she told me not to blame you.
21:52Do you really have to be this petty?
21:54I pressed my hand hard against his wound.
21:56He sucked in a breath and let go at once.
21:59Blood spread through his white court robe.
22:00So this is what you think of me?
22:03A woman who hurts people for no reason?
22:06I stepped closer.
22:08Let me make one thing clear.
22:10My man should stand with me,
22:13no matter what.
22:14A flicker of impatience crossed his face.
22:17She said it was a misunderstanding.
22:19I waited for you.
22:21Why are you still making this a problem?
22:24His tone hardened.
22:26You've forgotten your place.
22:28What more do you want?
22:29He stared at me.
22:31The same look.
22:33The same arrogance.
22:34Just like Cashin Veoloria.
22:37To him, basic loyalty was mercy.
22:39But this marriage?
22:40He had fought for it.
22:43He personally asked Cashin for my hand.
22:47He had stood in front of my mother and sworn at himself.
22:51One wife for life.
22:52No concubines.
22:54No second woman.
22:55I never forced you.
22:59I haven't taken another woman.
23:00I looked him straight in the eye.
23:02But your heart changed.
23:04His face turned dark.
23:06That's nonsense.
23:07No.
23:08It wasn't.
23:09I had seen the way he used to love me.
23:12Completely.
23:13Without reservation.
23:15And I knew he had changed.
23:17Maybe it started with Iris.
23:18Maybe it was because, from those lines of fate.
23:21I had seen Cashin quietly lifting him higher.
23:24Giving him more power.
23:26More trust.
23:27More ambition.
23:29Maybe Wesley had started wanting something else.
23:32Maybe he stayed loyal because of the promise he made to me.
23:35Or maybe he simply feared my family's power.
23:37I didn't know.
23:38And I did not dare gamble on it.
23:41Ever since Iris Ellis entered this house.
23:43We had already fought more than once.
23:45She had walked into Wesley's study on her own.
23:48I scolded her for it.
23:49Wesley defended her.
23:51Said it meant nothing.
23:52Said I was overreacting.
23:54Wait!
23:57Then Iris invited him to watch her dance.
23:59He did not go.
24:01But she danced anyway.
24:03That night, she had pregnancy complications.
24:06He got out of bed immediately and rushed over to her.
24:09He was not a physician.
24:10There was no reason for him to go.
24:12I was worried about his health.
24:14About him catching cold in the middle of the night.
24:17Send a physician.
24:19Have the servants report back.
24:21That should be enough.
24:22But he insisted on going himself.
24:24By the time she was stable, the sky was already turning light.
24:28I could not help complaining.
24:30If she knew she was pregnant, why was she dancing like that?
24:32Now you've lost a whole night of sleep because of her.
24:38Don't talk about her like that.
24:42She has nothing.
24:43Dance is the only thing she has.
24:45You jealous little thing.
24:47I only went because of Gideon.
24:49Until today.
24:50Until Iris framed me.
24:52And he called it a small matter.
24:56That was when I knew for sure.
24:58He had changed.
24:59I still remembered the old Wesley.
25:01Three years ago.
25:03She devil.
25:03A spoiled rich boy once insulted me behind my back.
25:06Called me a she devil.
25:08Wesley had dragged him to the ground and beaten him so badly.
25:11That bastard lost a team.
25:12Then forced him to apologize to me.
25:14Apologize.
25:15I was done arguing.
25:16If I kept going, I would say too much.
25:19And I could not risk what Octavia and I had just said in motion.
25:22I turned ice cold.
25:24That's enough.
25:25It's late.
25:26From tonight on, you sleep in the study.
25:29I don't want to see you.
25:31His face went hard.
25:33Violet Wilson, you are unbelievable.
25:36If you hadn't begged, I wouldn't have come back.
25:39Then he turned and walked out.
25:42He moved into the side chamber closest to Iris.
25:45After that, he kept her by his side.
25:48Right in front of me.
25:49One day they were viewing the winter roses.
25:51The next, walking the winter garden.
25:54And Iris.
25:55Iris was suddenly allowed to go anywhere she pleased inside the Pierce estate.
26:01I had bigger things to do.
26:03Octavia's road to power had to be cleared.
26:06Cashin was never fit to rule.
26:08When drought hit, he looked away.
26:10He claimed there was no money for relief.
26:13People starved.
26:15Corpses lined the roads.
26:17Marceline sent grain again and again.
26:19While every other merchant raised prices, she lowered hers.
26:23And what was Cashin doing?
26:25He drank, partied, and burned the crown's silver for applause.
26:28He never cared who paid the price.
26:30Not the old.
26:31Not women.
26:33Not children.
26:34If my grandfather hadn't shown up, he wouldn't have stopped these.
26:38He was angry.
26:40Humiliated.
26:41He said nothing.
26:42But he never forgot.
26:43Later, word came from a village stricken with plague.
26:47No physicians.
26:48No medicine.
26:49No mercy.
26:51That was Cashin.
26:52Cruel.
26:53Unfit.
26:54Unworthy.
26:55So I moved first.
26:57I sent water to the drought regions.
26:59I distributed grain every day.
27:02I brought in physicians to treat the sick for free.
27:05Behind the scenes, I made sure Octavia got the credit.
27:08At the same time, I spread word of Cashin's excess across the kingdom.
27:16Soon the whole kingdom was repeating the same line.
27:20The king builds pleasure ponds.
27:22The princess brings water to the fields.
27:25In just three months, her name was everywhere.
27:28Cashin heard it.
27:29Cashin panicked.
27:30He had wanted Octavia dead for years.
27:33Now he finally had found a reason.
27:35Before she went to see him, Octavia came to me.
27:39Violet.
27:41If I don't come back.
27:42Her voice was calm.
27:44They'll move tonight.
27:45Don't worry.
27:46Tonight, I'll lead armed men through the Northgate myself.
27:49No one will touch you.
27:51I'll make him sign the abdication decree.
27:53I'll make him give the throne to you.
27:55She smiled.
27:56Then let us win tonight.
27:58And from this day on...
28:02No one crushes us again.
28:08Eve, that night.
28:10Snow fell in thick white sheets.
28:12Beneath a storm of arrows.
28:14I stormed the Northgate.
28:16Wesley was waiting for me there.
28:18In full armor.
28:19The last time I saw him like this.
28:21He came to my house and proposed.
28:23Who knew we'd meet again like...
28:25Violet go back.
28:27Cashin knows everything.
28:28He'll spare you for me.
28:29I held his gaze.
28:30And my family?
28:32His expression did not change.
28:35Treason is punishable by death.
28:38You can live.
28:39If you publicly cut ties with them.
28:44Khaeson is cruel.
28:45He is not fit to be king.
28:47I will not retreat tonight.
28:51Wesley's voice hardened.
28:52But he is the recognized choice.
28:54No, I said he isn't.
28:56There's still Octavia.
28:57She is fit to rule this kingdom.
28:59She's a woman.
29:01What makes her think she can sit in that seat?
29:04Lesser?
29:05At what?
29:07Octavia was a genius at 14.
29:09My mother outmatched you in war.
29:11My grandmother outmatched most men in business.
29:14Women better than you are everywhere.
29:16They were only denied the light.
29:18You were born into power.
29:21They only lack the chance.
29:25Tonight, I'll prove the Wilsons know the sword as well as any man.
29:29Six years together.
29:30Did it really have to come to this?
29:33All because of Iris.
29:36If you want, I'll make her disappear.
29:40So even now, do you really think she is the problem between us?
29:44Then I let the truth drop.
29:46Do you know who Iris Ellis really is?
29:48She's a spy planted by the enemy.
29:50That's impossible.
29:56Bring her up, I said.
30:04They dragged Iris forward in chains.
30:06She was forced to her knees in the snow.
30:08A defense chart slipped from her robes and fell.
30:13She looked at Wesley with cold contempt.
30:17Me?
30:17Love you?
30:18You're no match for my people.
30:21I was pretending, just making trouble.
30:23Then she lifted her chin.
30:27The moment she finished,
30:28she bit down on the poison in her tooth.
30:31No hesitation.
30:37I suspected Iris long ago.
30:39I caught her in Wesley's studio.
30:41I investigated her and found her true identity,
30:43a scene of our goal.
30:44At the winter gathering,
30:45I was testing her,
30:46but Wesley stopped me.
30:47So I said nothing.
30:48I let her search and kept her under watch.
30:50The moment she tried to escape,
30:52I had her seized.
30:53Prepare her properly.
30:54And bury her with honor.
30:56Everyone around me stilled.
31:00I did not look away.
31:02We stood on opposite sides.
31:04But she died for her kingdom.
31:06That deserves a grand funeral.
31:12You knew she was an enemy spy.
31:19And you kept it from me.
31:22Did you ask me even once?
31:24He froze.
31:25He remembered that day.
31:26Every word.
31:27Every moment.
31:28After a long silence.
31:29If it was all a misunderstanding,
31:30we don't have to separate.
31:33There is a reason you believed, Iris.
31:35You tolerated Kassin.
31:38That's enough.
31:39We're done.
31:40A signal fire streaked across the sky.
31:42The signal from the east gate.
31:44Wesley looked up.
31:46His face changed completely.
31:48No!
31:48It's a trap!
31:49To the east gate!
31:51Now!
31:52Of course he knew.
31:53Because we leaked it on purpose.
31:55It was bait.
31:55A decoy.
31:56My grandfather hit the east gate.
31:58My mother took the west.
31:59Then another flare exploded.
32:00The west gate had fallen too.
32:02Two gates gone.
32:03The battle was over.
32:04Wesley moved to leave.
32:05I barred him with my sword.
32:06Forget me!
32:08Go protect Kassin!
32:10Steel reigned between us.
32:12Then closed in.
32:13Steel crashed against steel.
32:15Spark flew.
32:16He was stronger.
32:17I was faster.
32:19Violet, he said, breathing hard.
32:22You're a woman.
32:23You can't beat me.
32:24Shut up.
32:26Who said women are weaker than men?
32:28Tonight, I'll beat you to your knees.
32:38I scratched his thigh.
32:39Blood spilled.
32:40He flowed.
32:41I knocked the sword away and sent him to the ground.
32:43Then I pressed my sword to his throat.
32:45So, the greatest swordsman in the capital?
32:48He went pale.
32:50Silent.
32:55I sent up the north gate signal and rushed into the palace.
32:59Too late.
33:00Kassin Baeloria was already dead.
33:02Dorian Thornfield too.
33:05He died for refusing my annulment.
33:07Did he suffer?
33:08Octavia laughed.
33:11He was so angry, he coughed blood.
33:14That accident years ago, he did it on purpose.
33:16He set it up because I outshined him.
33:20He deserved it.
33:21Want me to whip his corpse?
33:27For my mother's sake, no.
33:29Burn him.
33:31Leave nothing.
33:36Wesley asked to see me one last time.
33:41I refused.
33:43There was nothing left to say.
33:46It was all said last night.
33:48He was banished from the capital for life.
33:51Soon after, news came from the prison.
33:55He had hanged himself in his cell.
33:58They brought me two papers.
34:02One was the writ releasing me from the marriage.
34:04The other was a letter.
34:06In it, he wrote about the past.
34:07At 15, he followed my mother to the battlefield and nearly died.
34:11I was the one who saved him.
34:13From then on, he swore to marry only me.
34:16In the end, he got his wish.
34:18He married me.
34:23But he never cherished me.
34:25He said he regretted betraying me.
34:28I wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes.
34:30Then I burned the letter.
34:32Violet Wilson does not live in regret.
34:34If I can love, I can let go.
34:37He was the one who did not know how to part with dignity.
34:39And that is why he met this end.
34:46Octavia was the new queen.
34:52She ordered new canals to be built.
34:54Military pay was increased.
34:56More relief grain was distributed.
34:57Taxes were cut across the kingdom.
34:59Then came the new laws.
35:00Women could study, hold office, join the military, and seek an annulment freely.
35:05Domestic abusers would be severely punished.
35:07The moment it was introduced, a court minister started denouncing it.
35:15Before he could finish, the guards already dragged him out.
35:21Silence.
35:22Anyone else, that old court minister had been poisoned to the kingdom anyway.
35:26The feasts.
35:27That had been his idea.
35:29You cast men down from office as you please.
35:32You think you're above the law.
35:34I pulled out the royal writ of protection.
35:37My brother moved to my side.
35:39He held up the writ.
35:40The queen has sealed it herself.
35:43Whoever stands in the way, is asking for trouble.
35:46No one dared speak again.
35:47And then I saw it.
35:49Fate finally appeared before me.
35:50The villainous has rewritten the ending.
35:52Violet, the Wilson family, and Octavia will be remembered.
35:55The ultimate victory belongs to her.
35:57May the Wilson family guard the realm for generations.
36:00At that moment, I knew.
36:01The doom was gone.
36:03My family was safe.
36:04And in the capital, no one would ever dare look down on me again.
