AmusantTranscription
00:00To let my husband focus on his career, I stayed at Ancestral Home to care for my ailing mother-in
00:04-law.
00:05Ten years went by like that.
00:07Charles came home once a year, but he never touched me.
00:09He said if I got pregnant with him away, I'd have no one to care for me.
00:12And that would break his heart.
00:14Every time he left, he'd curse himself for being useless.
00:17And swear that once he made it, he'd take me to the capital.
00:20In the winter of our 11th year, snow blocked the roads.
00:24Charles wrote he'd be a few days late.
00:26I went to tell mother the news, but overheard her talking with my sister-in-law.
00:31Mother, you've faked being sick for ten years.
00:33How much longer will you keep this up?
00:35What else can I do?
00:36Charles only has eyes for that adopted sister.
00:39They married behind our backs.
00:40Now their kids aren't young.
00:42If I don't keep Diana here and she makes a scene, how could Charles keep his position as minister?
00:46Forget it.
00:46We'll just keep hiding it, Charles said once he is more established.
00:50He'll make it up to Diana.
00:51My eyes welled up.
00:52So Charles wasn't useless.
00:53He'd made it.
00:54He was the minister of revenue, and he didn't avoid me out of love.
00:58But because he had someone else, my heart died.
01:03I tracked down that soldier who'd always liked me.
01:09Do you still want to marry me?
01:11Diana, I promise I'll be good to you.
01:13But give me a month.
01:15I ship out tonight.
01:16I'll earn real merit this time, and marry you in style.
01:20I lowered his hand and said,
01:21I don't need style.
01:23Just stability.
01:24Keep yourself safe.
01:26Just come back to me.
01:30After watching him leave,
01:32I went home.
01:35The house, usually dark, was lit up.
01:37I thought Mother was waiting for me.
01:39Opening the gate, I chided her.
01:40Mother, it's so late.
01:41You should rest.
01:42Before I finished, the door slid open.
01:44A tall figure stood silhouetted by candlelight.
01:47A familiar voice, laced with snow, reached me.
01:50Diana, I'm home.
01:54A year away, and Charles seemed more commanding.
01:57Probably from being a high official.
01:59His tone carried authority.
02:02He opened his arms, waiting for me to run into them and tell him how much I'd missed him.
02:06But I didn't.
02:07I sat down my basket and said calmly,
02:10You haven't eaten, have you?
02:11Let me make you something.
02:12Charles frowned slightly, awkwardly lowering his arms, forcing a light tone.
02:16What's wrong?
02:17You don't miss me after a year?
02:20Or are you angry at me?
02:22Before I knew the truth, I really did miss him.
02:24And I was a little upset too.
02:26No one wants to be apart from her husband so long, and so far away.
02:29But after learning everything, I stopped hoping.
02:32I made peace with it.
02:33Instead of fighting, better depart on good terms and leave quietly.
02:37I didn't answer.
02:38Instead, I changed the subject.
02:40Go talk with Mother.
02:42I'll call you when dinner's ready.
02:44Diana, what's wrong?
02:46Did you hear some rumor?
02:47I pushed him away calmly and smiled.
02:50This poor village rarely sees outsiders.
02:52What could I hear?
02:53Don't overthink it.
02:55Charles sighed with relief.
02:56He thought I was just moody and pulled me back in.
02:58Diana, I came back to take you all to the capital.
03:01But there's something I need to tell you first.
03:04My heart clenched.
03:05I knew what he'd say.
03:06After all these years, he was finally coming clean.
03:09Charles led me inside.
03:11I was surprised.
03:12Mother wasn't alone.
03:13There was a richly dressed woman and two children who looked just like Charles.
03:17Mother looked down guiltily, unable to meet my eyes.
03:20But the woman walked up boldly and extended her hand.
03:22You're Diana Jensen, right?
03:25I'm Esther Carter.
03:27Charles' adopted sister.
03:28And his wife.
03:30When I didn't respond, she pushed the children forward.
03:32These are our son and daughter.
03:38Come on, call her Diana.
03:40Seeing my cold expression, Charles quickly stopped her.
03:43He took my hand guiltily.
03:44Diana, let me explain.
03:51He took my hand guiltily.
03:53Diana, let me explain.
03:55That year, bandits attacked me on my way to capital cautious.
03:58If Issa didn't save me, I would have died.
04:00I only meant to make her my swarm sister.
04:02Then I learned she was an orphan with nowhere to go.
04:05I wanted to give her a home.
04:06It was my way of repaying her.
04:07If it hurts, you can hit me.
04:09Curse me.
04:09Just, when we get to the capital, I hope you two can get a war.
04:13He grabbed my hand to make me hit him.
04:15I pulled it back and smiled calmly.
04:17Going to the capital is a good thing.
04:20It doesn't hurt.
04:21Mother's been unwell for years.
04:23Maybe the capital's doctors can cure her.
04:25Charles was overjoyed.
04:27Barely able to contain himself.
04:28Really?
04:30You're not mad at me?
04:32My composure let Charles breathe easy.
04:34He urged me.
04:35Diana, pack your things.
04:37We'll leave the day after tomorrow.
04:39We can still make it back for New Year's Eve.
04:42I nodded and said,
04:44Mother doesn't have much.
04:45It won't take long.
04:47I'll pack the medicine she'll need on the road.
04:49You can all leave the day after tomorrow.
04:52Charles stiffened.
04:53He understood immediately.
04:55He frowned.
04:55Diana, what do you mean?
04:57You're not coming with us?
05:00I met his eyes, my voice calm.
05:02My lord, we probably won't come back after this.
05:05I need to sell the fields and the house.
05:07If they sit empty, we'd still owe taxes.
05:10It'd be a waste.
05:15If they sit empty, we'd still owe taxes.
05:18It'd be a waste.
05:20Take everyone back for the holiday.
05:24Once I've settled things here, I'll join you after the thaw.
05:28Charles relaxed a little.
05:30He knew what this house and land meant to me.
05:32When I first married in, the shahs had nothing.
05:35We rented a drafty shack.
05:37I worked myself to the bone, put him through school and exams, and saved for this house in two fields.
05:43That is how we stopped worrying about food.
05:45And Charles got a place to study in peace.
05:47Maybe remembering those days, his eyes softened with guilt.
05:52Diana, I am the Minister of Revenue.
05:55Now money's not an issue.
05:56Just give the land away to some poor folks.
05:58Save yourself the trouble.
05:59I smiled and shook my head.
06:02They're my sweat and blood.
06:03I can't just give them away.
06:07Don't worry, my lord.
06:09I'll come find you once it is done.
06:12I won't delay.
06:13For a moment, Charles hesitated.
06:15Esther caught it and tugged his sleeve, annoyed.
06:18She warned him.
06:19My lord, don't go soft.
06:21The Sensitory has eyes on you.
06:23If you leave her here, and they come asking and she slips up, how long do you think you'll keep
06:28your post?
06:28I am not stupid.
06:30I understood Esther immediately.
06:31So Charles wasn't having a change of heart.
06:34Summono had found out about his first wife.
06:36If they confirmed it, the Sensorate would have a field day.
06:39The Emperor is a devoted man.
06:41He despises men who abandon their wives.
06:44The Emperor is a devoted man.
06:46He despises men who abandon their wives.
06:49If Charles wants to keep his post, he needs to keep me happy and make sure I keep my mouth
06:54shut.
06:55Thinking about it, I'd be lying if I said it didn't sting.
06:59I married Charles 13 years ago.
07:01I gave him everything I had.
07:04Charles was a scholar.
07:05Couldn't do real work.
07:06His mother was old, no help either.
07:08His brother was a lazy good for nothing.
07:10I was the one keeping the family afloat.
07:12But I never complained.
07:14I cared for mother and even saved up to find his brother a wife so they could live decently.
07:18I thought doing all that would earn me his loyalty forever.
07:21But I overestimated my worth.
07:23I finally understood why they say scholars are the most heartless.
07:26I fought back the sting in my eyes, refusing to let the tears fall.
07:30Then, steadying myself, I said,
07:32So that's what worries you, my lord.
07:36I can write you a pledge.
07:39No matter who asks, I'll swear I'm a sure family orphan, your adopted sister.
07:45Will that do?
07:47All of them still, stunned.
07:49After a long moment, Charles asked, half doubtful.
07:53Diana, you'd really humble yourself for me?
07:55For you, I'd do anything.
07:57But just to be safe.
07:59There's one thing you must destroy now.
08:01What?
08:02The marriage contract.
08:06The marriage contract.
08:07I answered calmly.
08:09Ours.
08:10We married in a poor village.
08:12No formalities.
08:13A written contract.
08:14A cup of wine.
08:15And it was done.
08:16We never registered it with the authorities.
08:19So if we destroy the contract, I am no longer Charles' wife.
08:22Then I just wait for that soldier to return, and I can marry him.
08:26I thought Charles would be relieved.
08:28But for some reason, he hesitated.
08:32Diana, you once said this contract was your greatest treasure.
08:37After all these years, after everything you've done for me, if I destroy the one thing you treasure, how could
08:41you bear it?
08:45Maybe we should keep it.
08:47So he did see everything I gave, remembered.
08:51But even so, he still left me here for ten years, and built a family with someone else.
08:57If he could treat my devotion like dirt, why should I cling to a piece of paper?
09:01But I knew, with his cautious nature, he wouldn't just let me marry another man.
09:07But I knew, with his suspicious nature, he wouldn't just let me marry another man.
09:11So I made up a reason.
09:13My lord, you know this contract is my life.
09:16But for your future, I have to let it go.
09:18Once you're in the capital, you can marry me again, and give me a new one.
09:22That'll settle it.
09:23Mother nodded in agreement.
09:26Diana's right.
09:27With your position, you can't leave loose ends.
09:29Burn it.
09:30She's putting you first.
09:32You can make it up to her later.
09:34Diana, hiding this from you was wrong.
09:36But trust me, I'll be good to you.
09:38Wait for me.
09:39I'll prepare the finest bride trice and marry you again properly.
09:42Charles still had doubts, but he knew I had a point.
09:45He pulled out the contract.
09:47The way he looked, you'd almost think he meant it.
09:49But I didn't believe him.
09:51I told myself it was just an illusion.
09:54I lit both copies myself.
09:56The flames turned that farce of a marriage to ash.
09:59And with it, my decade-long obsession.
10:06I lit both copies myself.
10:08The flames turned that farce of a marriage to ash.
10:11And with it, my decade-long obsession.
10:14For the first time, I felt a flicker of hope, wondering at the freedom that could be mine.
10:20After Charles took Esther to rest, Mother stopped me.
10:23She dropped the act and knelt right in front of me.
10:25Diana, I was wrong.
10:27I hid it from you all these years.
10:30You must hate me, don't you?
10:32Her hair was completely white.
10:34Seeing her face wet with tears.
10:36I couldn't be cruel.
10:38I helped her up and said calmly,
10:40Mother, you did it because you love your son.
10:44I don't blame you.
10:46Sure, your sickness was faked, but you've always had your aches and pains.
10:49When you get to the Capitol, listen to the doctors.
10:52Take care of yourself.
10:55Hearing that, she broke down completely.
10:58Diana, how can you be so kind?
11:01Without you, who'll ever treat me this well?
11:04Don't you worry.
11:06No matter how Charles treats you,
11:08I'll always see you as my own daughter.
11:11I won't let anyone hurt you.
11:13I'll always see you as my own daughter.
11:16I won't let anyone hurt you.
11:17I understood Mother's helplessness,
11:19so I never blamed her.
11:20But I wouldn't trust her again either.
11:23She is a mother.
11:24Words are sweet, but blood wins.
11:26If the day ever came when she had to choose between Charles and me,
11:29I knew she'd pick him without a second thought.
11:32I said calmly.
11:33Mother, it's fine.
11:35Whoever Charles marries becomes your daughter-in-law.
11:38You owe me nothing.
11:40As I left her room, Esther blocked my path in the yard.
11:45Diana, don't take Charles' words to heart.
11:48I never saved him.
11:50I thought being deceived by my beloved husband and his mother was the worst blow.
11:54But no, there was more they'd hidden from me.
11:56Esther wasn't his savior at all.
11:58The truth was, Charles fell for her at first sight.
12:02Used the sworn sister story to get close.
12:04Broke off her original engagement and married her.
12:08Calling her his savior was just his way to soften me.
12:11He knows I am kind.
12:12That I always repay a debt.
12:14So he and Mother cooked up this story to force my hand to make me accept it.
12:18Seeing me stunned, Esther thought her words had hit home.
12:21She smirked.
12:22So when he talks about marrying you in style, it's all lies.
12:26You'll be nothing but a concubine.
12:29Oh, and Mother?
12:30Saying she'll treat you like a daughter?
12:32You believe that?
12:33When it's her own son, her own grandchildren?
12:36Do you think you stand a chance?
12:37I blinked back the wetness in my eyes and forced myself to ask,
12:40Why tell me this?
12:44You want me to leave quietly, don't you?
12:47Charles is loyal.
12:48You've done so much for this family.
12:52If I drove you away, he'd blame me and regret it forever.
12:56I couldn't do that to him.
12:58I'm just making your place clear.
13:00In the capital, know your role as a concubine.
13:03Don't hope for more status.
13:05And definitely don't hope for children.
13:06Charles promised me I'd be the only one to bear his children.
13:10That's why he never touched you.
13:11If you try anything, don't expect mercy.
13:14But if you behave, I'll make sure you're fed and clothed.
13:17I had no energy for her games.
13:19I nodded just to end it.
13:21The day they left, I took my only necklace.
13:24The necklace one.
13:25And placed it in Esther's palm.
13:27Mother immediately objected.
13:29She took the necklace and gave it back.
13:32Diana, I gave you this.
13:33You keep it.
13:35Diana, I gave you this.
13:37You keep it.
13:39I reached out to take the necklace,
13:41turned around,
13:42and carefully put it on Esther's neck.
13:45This necklace is Mother's heirloom.
13:47Everyone knows it's for the sure daughter-in-law.
13:50If I keep it, and someone investigates,
13:52it'll just raise questions.
13:54Safer with Esther.
13:55Mother, Diana's right.
13:56When we're together again, I'll give it back to her.
13:59Mother wasn't happy, but since we both agreed,
14:01she just sighed and whispered to me.
14:03Diana, don't worry.
14:05What I gave you is yours.
14:07You're my only true daughter-in-law.
14:09Once you're in the capital,
14:10I'll get it back for you.
14:11I nodded, and then looked at Charles.
14:13Charles, it is all I have left from my grandma.
14:17She made it right before she passed.
14:19Can I have it back?
14:20Charles frowned slightly and said quietly,
14:24Diana, this new way of addressing me feels strange.
14:26When we're alone, just call me my lord.
14:29When we're alone, just call me my lord.
14:31Better to be cautious.
14:33Can't leave any loose ends.
14:35Fine.
14:36After I marry you again, we'll change it back.
14:39But keep the pouch with me.
14:40It was your gift.
14:42A token of our love.
14:43I didn't understand.
14:45He used to hate this pouch.
14:46Said men wearing pouches was embarrassing.
14:49Now that I wanted to grant his old wish.
14:51Why was he refusing?
14:53Charles, it's almost New Year's Eve.
14:54I'll be lonely here alone.
14:56Keeping the pouch gives me something to hold on to.
15:00If you want it back,
15:01I'll give it to you when I get to the capital.
15:03Charles looked at me affectionately,
15:04turned to leave.
15:05But after walking a few steps,
15:07he stopped,
15:08turned back,
15:08and held my hand tightly.
15:10Wait for me.
15:12I'll come for you myself after the thought.
15:15There's one last thing I need to tell you then.
15:18Okay.
15:27After watching them leave,
15:28I went back inside
15:29and grabbed my bag from the top cabinet.
15:33I left Charles' money on the table.
15:35That is where the man I'll marry is waiting.
15:37I have to marry him before Charles comes for me.
15:39Once that is done,
15:40I'll be free of him.
15:42Free of this humiliation.
15:43Winter roads were hard,
15:44and I had little money.
15:45I couldn't afford a cart,
15:47so I stopped when I had to.
15:49When funds ran low,
15:50I worked in towns earned enough,
15:52then moved on.
15:54Spring was near,
15:55and I was getting closer to the border.
15:57One day,
15:58while wiping tables at an inn,
16:00the owner rushed in,
16:02excited.
16:02Diana,
16:03the border forces won.
16:05After they process the prisoners,
16:07they'll return any day now.
16:08You'll see your fiancé soon.
16:10He paid me what I'd earned,
16:12and added a bonus.
16:13Your fiancé is a hero of Deoria.
16:16Call this my wedding gift.
16:18Hire a cart,
16:19and go to him.
16:20I thanked the tavern owner gratefully,
16:23then hired a shabby carriage
16:24and set off for the border.
16:26But it was very quiet there,
16:27and the army had not yet returned.
16:30Sir,
16:30my fiancé is Lance Watson.
16:33When he arrives,
16:34please tell him I've rented a place
16:35east of the city,
16:36waiting.
16:37The guard heard this,
16:39handed the coins back.
16:40So you're Lance's fiancé.
16:42No need for this.
16:43Just put in a good word for me sometime.
16:45I was confused.
16:47Lance was just a nobody soldier.
16:49What good would my words do?
16:51Probably mistook me for someone else.
16:53But saving money wasn't bad.
16:55The waiting made me nervous.
16:57Lance and I were from the same village,
16:59and yes,
17:00he'd admired me for years.
17:01But I'd been married.
17:03I didn't know if his proposal was real,
17:05or just impulse.
17:06Then I thought it through.
17:08If he changed his mind,
17:09I'd manage on my own.
17:10I have my hands.
17:12I won't starve.
17:13That settled?
17:14I felt better.
17:15I started sewing my wedding gown.
17:17If he wants me,
17:19good.
17:19If not,
17:20at least it is for me.
17:22When I married Charles,
17:23I never wore one.
17:26Back then,
17:27the shahs had nothing.
17:29Empty walls.
17:30No gown.
17:31And the wedding wine
17:32was borrowed from a neighbor.
17:33Later,
17:34when I had money,
17:35I repaid her with two big jars.
17:37She grabbed my hand.
17:38Diana,
17:38you're such a good girl.
17:41Why stay with the shahs?
17:42All that hardship.
17:43Look at you.
17:44Pretty,
17:45hardworking.
17:46You could marry a rich man
17:47and not be settling.
17:49Why cling to that book-weight Charles
17:51wasting your youth?
17:52I loved Charles.
17:54I believed in our future.
17:55I thought she was out of line.
17:57I even argued with her.
17:59Ma'am,
18:00you're unfair to him.
18:01I peened her.
18:02I believe in him.
18:03When he makes it,
18:04he won't let me down.
18:05She couldn't convince me,
18:07just kept calling me foolish.
18:09Now I see.
18:10She was the one who saw clearly.
18:12The day I slipped away,
18:14I almost ran straight
18:15into Charles' sister-in-law.
18:17The day I slipped away,
18:19I nearly crossed paths
18:20with Charles' sister-in-law
18:21she was heading out.
18:22She almost noticed me,
18:24but my neighbor distracted her.
18:26Ah,
18:26there you are.
18:27I thought I heard your voice.
18:29She had once told me,
18:30Deanna,
18:31the shawls aren't good enough for you.
18:32Go, Lev, free.
18:34Don't let them trap you anymore.
18:35If you want to leave,
18:36I'll handle your sister-in-law.
18:38I'll make sure they don't find out you're gone.
18:39I don't know how she held her off,
18:41but it worked.
18:42I managed to slip away quietly
18:44without alerting a soul.
18:46For a month,
18:47no one came looking for me.
18:49In the place I rented,
18:50I lived through some of the calmest,
18:52most peaceful days I'd had in a long time,
18:54but you just had to say it.
18:56On the third day,
18:57a carriage stopped outside my door.
18:58I thought Lance was back.
19:00I ran out,
19:01excited only to come face to face
19:02with someone familiar.
19:04Charles.
19:05Hair disheveled,
19:06his face drawn.
19:07His voice was hoarse.
19:08Diana,
19:08you were so hard to find.
19:12I hadn't expected him to show up at all.
19:15I froze.
19:17He dismounted and strode over in a few strides,
19:20grabbing my wrist.
19:22So tight,
19:22it felt like my bones might crack.
19:26He dismounted,
19:27strode over in a few steps,
19:28and grabbed my wrist,
19:29squeezing so hard my bones might crack.
19:32Diana,
19:34you promised me.
19:36Why did you run away,
19:38all the way to this border town?
19:41I spent half a month preparing,
19:43went to Greenhavel myself to get you,
19:46and found the house empty.
19:49Do you know how worried I was?
19:52I couldn't break free,
19:53so I stopped trying,
19:55and said coldly,
19:56Why trouble yourself for me,
19:57Lord Shaw?
19:58Our contract is destroyed.
20:00I'm no longer ashore.
20:03Where I go,
20:04whether I live or die,
20:06is none of your business.
20:07My cold words stung him.
20:09He got angrier.
20:11Diana,
20:12I know you're upset,
20:14but this is reckless.
20:16You agreed to come to the cap,
20:18and how did you break your word?
20:19How could you break your word?
20:20It struck me as almost funny.
20:22I dropped the act.
20:24Didn't you break your word?
20:25I didn't want anything to do with him anymore.
20:27I just wanted him gone.
20:29On our wedding day,
20:30didn't you promise me to be true to me forever?
20:33To never take another wife?
20:37So,
20:38call it even.
20:40So,
20:41call it even.
20:43Lord Shaw,
20:44we're done.
20:48Done.
20:53Seeing my resolve,
20:54Charles' eyes reddened.
20:57keep holding me close,
20:59almost nose to nose.
21:01We've been married over ten years.
21:03You can't just end it like that.
21:11Diana,
21:11I know you're hurt.
21:15When we go back,
21:16I'll make you an equal wife.
21:18I promise.
21:19please.
21:22You won't be beneath Esther,
21:24all right?
21:25I snorted.
21:27He thought I wanted more.
21:28He frowned.
21:30Diana,
21:31it's not that I won't make you equal.
21:34But Esther saved my life.
21:36Saved your life?
21:37I cut him off and scoffed.
21:41After all this,
21:42you still hide behind that lie.
21:44After everything you've put me through.
21:47Charles,
21:48you're not even trying.
21:50He froze,
21:51panic flashing in his eyes.
21:53Diana,
21:54what do you mean?
21:55Diana,
21:56what do you mean?
21:56Seeing his face change,
21:58I tore through his lies,
21:59word by word.
22:01Esther told me everything.
22:06There were no bandits.
22:08No one saved Charles.
22:10It was all a lie.
22:12Something he made up just to have her.
22:16You fell for her at first sight.
22:20Forced your way in
22:21and destroyed her engagement.
22:24Your debt of gratitude
22:27was just an excuse for your betrayal.
22:29Charles went pale.
22:31He opened his mouth,
22:33but shame choked his words.
22:35I was done.
22:36I was about to send him away
22:38when he snapped out of it
22:39and weakly pleaded.
22:43Diana,
22:44let me explain.
22:48Esther's jealous.
22:50He pushed all the blame onto Esther.
22:52Esther's jealous.
22:53Claiming she was trying to drive us apart.
22:55You know woman wants to share her husband.
22:58You understand that too.
23:00I cut him off.
23:02Too numb to feel a thing.
23:05That's why you stayed away ten years.
23:08Left me alone.
23:12Even had your mother pretend to be sick
23:14for ten years
23:15to trap me in the village.
23:18Right?
23:20Even had your mother pretend to be sick
23:22for ten years
23:23to trap me in the village.
23:29Right?
23:32Since you care for her so much,
23:34stop chasing after me.
23:37It'll only hurt us both.
23:41Diana!
23:42I yanked my hand back,
23:43stepped away,
23:44and said coldly,
23:45The old Diana Jensen's dead.
23:49She learnt the truth.
23:54The woman standing here now
23:55has nothing to do with you
23:56or the Shaw family.
23:58For what we had,
23:59I won't speak against you.
24:05Just leave.
24:08My fiancé's coming back
24:10with the army soon.
24:12Charles stiffened,
24:14his head snapping up.
24:15I don't want him to misunderstand.
24:18Eyes blazing with shock and fury.
24:21Fiancé?
24:23What fiancé?
24:26Who is he?
24:27Mr. Nobody Soldier.
24:29You wouldn't know him, Lord Shaw.
24:31I answered calmly.
24:33Now go.
24:33But Charles refused to accept it.
24:35Diana,
24:36have you lost your mind?
24:47You'd refuse a minister
24:48for some lowly soldier.
24:50You'd refuse a minister
24:52for some lowly soldier.
24:54He could die any day.
24:56And his pay?
25:01You'd barely afford a meal.
25:03You're not getting any younger.
25:11You want to live like that again?
25:13Do you have any idea
25:14what kind of hardship
25:15you're letting yourself in for?
25:17I don't fear hardship.
25:19If I did,
25:19I'd never have married you.
25:22I glared at him
25:23and said calmly,
25:24Lord Shaw,
25:25stop insulting my fiancé.
25:27He lacks your wealth and status,
25:29but he gives me his whole heart.
25:33Unlike you,
25:35always chasing shiny and new.
25:38Charles faltered.
25:39It took him a moment to recover.
25:45Diana,
25:47you've got it wrong.
25:49I don't love the new
25:50and forget the old.
25:52All these years,
25:53even with Esther,
25:54you've always been in my heart.
25:56Words weren't enough,
25:57so he stopped.
25:59He said,
26:00Fine.
26:02When you come back with me,
26:04I'll prove it.
26:06I didn't understand,
26:07but his next words
26:08answered my question.
26:09General Quinn is an old acquaintance.
26:12I'll go see him.
26:13Ask him to talk to your fiancé.
26:16He plays it right.
26:18I'll find him a nice girl
26:19and cover the bride price too.
26:21I'll find him a nice girl
26:23and cover the bride price too.
26:24I am usually patient,
26:25but this time I snapped.
26:27Charles,
26:27have you lost your mind?
26:29He didn't say it outright,
26:30but I understood.
26:31He was going to use his power
26:33to pressure Lance.
26:34Lance is just a soldier.
26:35How could he fight a minister?
26:45I grabbed Charles' sword
26:46and held it to my throat.
26:47I said,
26:48Charles,
26:49if you go near him,
26:51I'll kill myself right now.
26:53My life may be cheap,
26:55but you're the Minister of Revenue.
26:57Diana!
26:58If word gets out
26:59you drove a woman to death,
27:01how would that look?
27:04Or the fact that you tried to kill me.
27:07He always saw me as gentle.
27:08He never thought I'd threaten to die.
27:11If you don't want me dead,
27:13write it down.
27:14If anything happens to me
27:16or my fiancé,
27:17you'll be held responsible.
27:19Charles had spent years
27:20climbing the ranks.
27:21He'd never sign his own ruin.
