00:00Apollo is mine, you little brat!
00:03What gives you the right to marry him?
00:06Just because you're pretty?
00:08Go to hell!
00:09The day before my wedding to Apollo,
00:11my own sister killed me.
00:12When I opened my eyes again,
00:14I was back on the day we chose our gifts.
00:17You can choose either combat talent or beauty.
00:21Phaedra didn't even let him finish.
00:22He grabbed the glowing light of the universe.
00:24That's when I knew she had come back too.
00:26In my last night,
00:28my sister Phaedra didn't hesitate.
00:30She chose combat because the gods of Olympus
00:32value strength above all.
00:34Kalista, you're too dumb.
00:36Beauty suits you better.
00:37I'll take all the pain of training for you.
00:40I believed her.
00:41I really thought she was doing it for my good,
00:43but Apollo, the man she loved,
00:45chose me as his wife because of my beauty.
00:48Blinded by jealousy,
00:50Phaedra destroyed my face and pushed me off a cliff.
00:53Kalista, Olympus values strength the most.
00:56I gave you the best option.
00:58You should be grateful.
01:00I looked at her.
01:02This time, I saw everything clearly.
01:04Her jealousy and her greed.
01:06Kalista, then you can only choose the combat gift.
01:09Do you accept?
01:10I accept.
01:11After all, the gods of Olympus values strength above everything.
01:15What could be better than a combat gift?
01:17Kalista, you poor brat.
01:18This time Apollo's wife will be me.
01:21And you'll die on the battlefield.
01:23The next day, we both awaken their gifts.
01:26Phaedra looked in the mirror, completely stunned by her own beauty.
01:29As for me, my face was plain, my body thin and weak.
01:33She glanced at me and burst out laughing.
01:36Oh my god, you're so ugly.
01:39When Lord Apollo sees you this time, he'll be disgusted.
01:43Phaedra, being a clingy vine that lives off a man isn't as nice as it sounds.
01:47With my combat gift, I got into the Olympus Academy.
01:50I became Apollo's classmate.
01:52He was still the same.
01:53Cold, distant, untouchable.
01:56Girls gathered around him like moths to a flame, including Phaedra.
01:59She got exactly what she wanted.
02:01She clung to him, stayed by his side, followed him everywhere.
02:06Men gathered around Phaedra because of her beauty.
02:08Then she started telling everyone.
02:11Coletta and I are twin sisters.
02:14But she got jealous of my beauty.
02:17She pushed me off a cliff and left me to be attacked by beasts.
02:21I was badly hurt and lost my ability to combat.
02:26Her lies spread through the academy like wildfire.
02:30Within days, everyone believed her.
02:32And I became the target.
02:34First, small things.
02:35My Olympian robes would go missing.
02:38My books would be soaked in water.
02:39My food would accidentally be knocked onto the ground.
02:43Then it got worse.
02:44I started finding cockroaches and disgusting bugs.
02:47They poured out from the folds of my bed, skittering over the sheets.
02:50By the next morning, the smell had already soaked into everything.
02:53One day in the hallway, someone bumped into me.
02:58Calista doesn't shower.
03:00That's why she stinks so bad.
03:02So gross.
03:03Being ugly is one thing, but why is she so filthy?
03:07Disgusting.
03:08My sister only looks like this because she's working so hard on her magic.
03:12If she did something wrong, it's my fault as her beautiful big sister.
03:19Please, don't bully her.
03:22Phaedra is so kind.
03:23Her beauty really comes from her heart.
03:26Unlike Kalita.
03:27Seriously.
03:28If I had a sister that beautiful, I'd be happy for her.
03:31Why would anyone be jealous?
03:33I headed back to my room.
03:35Didn't argue.
03:36Didn't explain.
03:37Not because I couldn't, but because it wasn't worth it.
03:40Meanwhile, Phaedra was living a best life.
03:42She stayed by Apollo's side at all times.
03:44As if she already belonged to him.
03:47They had already confessed their feelings to each other.
03:49I knew that.
03:50Because I had lived it before.
03:51But just like last time, Apollo refused to make it public.
03:54In front of everyone, he only called her a friend.
03:58The same lie.
03:59The same excuse.
04:00Back then I believed him.
04:02I thought he was protecting me.
04:03Keeping me safe from jealousy, from gossip, from harm.
04:07Only later did I realize the truth.
04:09He was ashamed of me.
04:10He didn't think I was good enough for him.
04:15The other people Phaedra hung out with were all from powerful, wealthy families.
04:19They handed her rare artifacts like they meant nothing.
04:23And she took all of it.
04:24But her power never improved.
04:26Because she wasted everything on her face.
04:29On perfumes.
04:30On dresses.
04:31On anything that made her more beautiful.
04:33She truly believed beauty was enough.
04:35That as long as she stayed beautiful, the world would hand itself over to her.
04:38Then, the combat exam was announced.
04:41If you can't pass the test, and you're expelled from the Olympus Academy.
04:44That was when she came to me.
04:46As if nothing had ever happened.
04:49Calista, you have to help me pass this exam.
04:51How?
04:52Don't you have control magic?
04:53You can just manipulate my movements from the sidelines.
04:56That way, I'll pass.
04:58That's forbidden magic.
04:59If we're caught, we'll both be banished from Olympus.
05:01Then don't get caught.
05:03If you can't even do something that simple, what's the point of your combat talent?
05:07You have so many admirers.
05:09Why not ask them?
05:10Though they admire you, they won't take risk on you, right?
05:12Asking an outsider for help with something like this, it's embarrassing.
05:17But you're different.
05:18You're my own sister.
05:21I'm sorry, sister.
05:22I won't do it.
05:24Are you really refusing to help me?
05:26You can pass on your own.
05:27In my last life, I stayed by her side day and night.
05:30I burned through everything I had to save her.
05:33And she killed me for it.
05:34This time, she still can't get it enough.
05:37Calista, then don't blame me for not giving you a chance.
05:40No!
05:42Calista!
05:43No!
05:44Help me!
05:47Calista!
05:48What did you do?
05:49Apollo, please.
05:52Don't blame my sister.
05:54She only did this because she loves you.
05:57She was confused.
05:59And Phaedra!
06:01How could you be so cruel to your own sister?
06:03Report her to goddess Athena!
06:05Expels her from Olympus!
06:07A monster like her doesn't deserve to stay here!
06:10The trial against me began.
06:12Goddess Athena sat above us, her expression grave.
06:15Calista, do you realize what you've done wrong?
06:18I opened my mouth, but someone beat me to it.
06:21Dionysus, Phaedra's most loyal follower.
06:23Goddess Athena, I saw it with my own eyes.
06:26Calaita stabbed her!
06:28Phaedra brought her medicine because she was worried about Calaita,
06:32and Calaita attacked a her!
06:38She's still pretending to be innocent.
06:40With that kind of talent, all she thinks about is stealing someone else's man.
06:44She should look in a mirror. Who would ever choose her?
06:47Goddess, you always said that character is more important than strength.
06:51I ask that Calita be punished.
06:53In our past life, when she ruined my face, Apollo defended me just like this.
06:57Back then, I was the only one who stood up and begged for her mercy.
07:01Calista is still my sister. I don't blame her anymore.
07:04I only hope she admits her mistake and become a better person.
07:10Still protecting her sister even now.
07:11Phaedra is too kind.
07:13Calista is disgusting.
07:15No. Anyone who commits a crime must pay the price.
07:21That's Apollo's divine weapon. He could kill even a true god. He's going to kill her.
07:26Apollo, stop this at once. The truth has not been fully investigated.
07:30I saw everything with my own eyes. How could it be fake?
07:35Calita tried to kill Phaedra first. She deserves this.
07:38He's right! Goddess Athena! This is clearly Calita's fault.
07:42Calita doesn't deserve mercy.
07:47Apollo, don't.
07:49Apollo, wait. Before you kill me, take a look at this.
07:53The mirror of memory?
07:56Sister, you have to help me.
07:58You can control my movements from the sidelines so I can pass the exam.
08:02That's forbidden magic.
08:04We'd be banished.
08:05Then don't get caught.
08:07What good is your combat tank if you can't even do this?
08:15No!
08:16That's not true! She must have faked it! This isn't real!
08:21But everyone present knew the mirror of memory never lies.
08:25The mirror of memory is a divine artifact from Goddess Athena.
08:29It was meant to record my daily training progress.
08:33Because we are sisters, I didn't want to show this to the world.
08:37But I cannot sit by and let you destroy my name.
08:40I only allowed you into this academy because of Calista!
08:44I never imagined you could be this evil!
08:47Before she could even finish, Phaedra coughed up blood and collapsed.
08:50Her many protectors rushed to catch her.
08:52After the initial shock, they all knelt down to beg for her.
08:56Goddess Athena, please, give Phaedra one more chance!
08:59Her divine soul is damaged and her training has been hard.
09:01She just lost her way. Please, show her mercy!
09:04Look at that. Incredible beauty truly is a powerful force.
09:08There must be a price for such actions.
09:11Expel this woman from the Olympian Academy immediately.
09:15Spread the word.
09:16Anyone who shelters her is an enemy of Athena!
09:21And Apollo, you ignored the truth.
09:23I can no longer keep you here either. Leave.
09:27The people begging for mercy suddenly backed away, fearing they'd be missed.
09:30Athena! You're actually kicking me out?
09:34Athena gave him a cold, sharp look.
09:36Is there any justice left in your heart?
09:39I don't blame Athena for being furious.
09:41Apollo tried to kill me without a second thought, completely ignoring the truth.
09:44He honestly thought Athena wouldn't dare to punish him.
09:47Only then did Apollo start to grovel.
09:50Sister, I was wrong. I see it now.
09:52I'll take any punishment you give me. Just please, let me stay!
09:55He might be the sun god, but he isn't Zeus' only son.
09:58If his reputation was ruined, his brothers would jump at the chance to mock him.
10:02The other gods quickly stepped in to speak up for him.
10:05Goddess Athena, it's his first offense. Please, give him one more chance!
10:09Athena was angry, but Apollo was her brother and their bond was deep.
10:12After everyone pleaded for him, she banned him from leaving the academy for a hundred years.
10:18Athena told me privately why she chose that specific punishment.
10:22She wanted to keep him away from Phaedra so he'd stop drowning in romance and destroying himself.
10:28Sadly, Apollo completely wasted Athena's kindness.
10:30Before Phaedra left, he secretly slept with her.
10:33My incredibly stupid sister actually came to brag about it to my face.
10:37Even if I'm kicked off Mount Olympus.
10:41Don't think you can steal Apollo from me.
10:43I've already given myself to him.
10:46And he promised to take care of me.
10:52Kalista, you'll never win against me in this life.
10:58What's the point of having all that combat talent anyway?
11:01Look at how ugly you are.
11:03No man will ever truly love you.
11:06The war between gods and demons is coming soon.
11:10Try not to die out there.
11:12I still want to invite you to my wedding with Apollo.
11:15I felt a wave of exhaustion wash over me.
11:18Having a sister this stupid is honestly embarrassing.
11:20Her divine combat stats were already a disaster.
11:23And now she's wasting her energy on a man?
11:26She's not going to last long.
11:28Phaedra, you should really focus on your training.
11:32Men are never reliable.
11:34I knew my warning would fall on deaf ears.
11:36But after being sisters for two lifetimes,
11:39I didn't want to see her completely fall apart.
11:42Instead of listening, she got even angrier.
11:46You're just jealous, aren't you?
11:48In our last life, you were a nobody.
11:51But you still got to marry Apollo.
11:55Only ugly girls need to get strong.
11:58Because they have no one to protect them.
12:00But with beauty like mine, I just wave my hand and men will die for me.
12:04Why would I ever waste my time with hard training?
12:07I never understood why your life was so perfect before.
12:11But now I see it.
12:13Beauty is the most powerful weapon of all.
12:15She laughed and walked away with her head held high.
12:18I just shook my head.
12:19She has no idea.
12:21Beauty paired with talent is a winning hand.
12:24On its own, it's a death sentence.
12:26But honestly, what does any of that have to do with me anymore?
12:30When the war between gods and demons arrived, Apollo led his army to battle, just as he had in our
12:37past life.
12:38But unlike before, this time Apollo demanded that I join him on the front lines.
12:43I knew exactly what he was doing.
12:45He was still bitter and looking for revenge.
12:46No!
12:48Calista's training isn't finished.
12:50Sending her to the battlefield now is a death sentence!
12:52Instead, he turned to me.
12:55Calista, what do you think?
12:57If you're too scared, I won't force you.
12:59He asked me if I was afraid right in front of everyone.
13:01He was clearly trying to humiliate me.
13:03He was certain I wouldn't dare to go.
13:05After all, the war of gods and demons isn't a school spar.
13:08It's a life or death struggle.
13:12Goddess Athena, I am willing to go and fight for the peace of Olympus.
13:17Calista, don't let Apollo's words get to you.
13:20You need a few more centuries of training to be truly ready for this.
13:25She's right, Calista. Don't push yourself.
13:28When I asked you to come along, I was just joking.
13:31Don't take it seriously.
13:32I still didn't give him a second of my attention.
13:34Instead, I quietly chanted a spell, and five massive generals in golden armor appeared.
13:40They all knelt simultaneously before Athena.
13:42In an instant, the entire hall was filled with the sound of people.
13:46How is this possible?
13:48When did you become a true god?
13:50After 300 years of training, he had only just touched the threshold of a demigod.
13:55But I had been training for less than 800 years.
13:58This kind of elite combat talent appears only once every 10,000 years.
14:04Athena was so shocked she couldn't speak for a long time.
14:06She finally placed her hand on my head to test my power.
14:10Unable to hide her excitement, she cried out,
14:12Calista, are you truly a true god?
14:19I've been training hard.
14:20And just yesterday, I finally ascended.
14:23With Athena's confirmation, no one dared to question my strength anymore.
14:27Olympus is, after all, a place where the strong are respected.
14:31If I were only slightly stronger than them, they would be jealous.
14:35But, when my power is so far beyond their reach, they can only look up to me in worship.
14:41Apollo, am I qualified to fight alongside you now?
14:44I expected him to feel insulted.
14:46Of course. No one is more qualified than you.
14:49Apollo looked at me with a complicated expression in his eyes.
14:52I didn't understand it, and I didn't care to.
14:55Once Athena gave the nod, I prepared to leave.
14:58I was eager to rush to the battlefield of gods and demons.
15:01It wasn't to win an argument with Apollo.
15:04It was because my training had hit a plateau, and the only way forward was the front lines.
15:08Only through the heat of real combat could I reach the next level of power.
15:12And that training had to be a battle of life and death.
15:16I couldn't think of a better way to do that than the war between gods and demons.
15:19When we arrived at the battlefield, the demon army had already reached the gates of Olympus.
15:24If they broke through, the entire divine realm would collapse.
15:27The demons would have a clear path to strike straight at the heart of our world.
15:32Mount Olympus itself was in grave danger.
15:35The casualties among the true gods were already heavy.
15:38If we hadn't arrived, Olympus wouldn't have lasted two weeks to secure his status, so he wanted to charge out
15:44and fight immediately.
15:46The first battle is always the most critical, and choosing the right lead is everything.
15:50When it came to him to pick, Apollo hesitated for a moment, but he ultimately chose me.
15:55An old veteran stepped forward to protest.
15:57She's just a little girl. Don't let her mess this up. War is not a game.
16:02It's not just about her losing her life. If the demons find a weakness in her, she'll get us all.
16:07A goddess froze up on her first day, got possessed, and her whole army was wiped out.
16:13He probably thought I was just there to steal some credit.
16:16Plenty of people do that. He looked down on me and was total disgusted.
16:20Are you worried about my lack of experience, or do you just hate that I'm a woman?
16:24The battlefield belongs to men. If you want some easy glory, go to the back and brew some potions.
16:31Then how about a wage?
16:33A wager on what?
16:35When the battle starts, let's see who takes more heads.
16:39If you win, I'll be your servant for 300 years.
16:43But if I win, you give me your divine artifact as a trophy.
16:47Deal.
16:49Smith, change the bet! If you win, make her your bride instead!
16:53The moment those words left his mouth, Apollo's eyes turned cold as ice.
16:57He shot a sharp look at the talkative soldier, then turned his gaze towards Smith.
17:01Smith waved his hands frantically, shaking his head.
17:04No, no, absolutely not! I already have someone I love.
17:09Once we drive back the demon army, I'm going home to marry her.
17:14Only then did the tension leave Apollo's face and his gaze softened.
17:17He cleared his throat and went back to organizing the troops.
17:21Once the soldiers were fully assembled, the battle began instantly.
17:25The gates of Olympus swung wide and I led my squad charging out.
17:29Even though it was my first time on a real battle, I didn't feel attentive there.
17:33Instead, my blood was boiling with excitement.
17:36I was ready to use the fight to push my power to the limit.
17:39As I cut down the enemy, flashes of my past life differed through my mind.
17:44In that life, I was known across all of Olympus as a useless waste.
17:49Athena had been dead set against Apollo marrying me.
17:51She kept trying to set him up with powerful goddesses from the early times.
17:55But Apollo was determined to have me as his wife.
17:58It wasn't because he loved me so deeply.
18:00It was for two selfish reasons.
18:02First, my beauty was so legendary that no one else could even compare.
18:05Second, I had a rare talent for crafting divine potions that surpassed everyone else.
18:10Whether he wanted to grow stronger or win a war, he couldn't survive without my medicine.
18:15And yet, everyone treated me like garbage saying I wasn't good enough for him.
18:19They bullied me and looked down on me constantly.
18:22Whenever I went to him for comfort, he would just brush me off.
18:25Well, they aren't wrong. Your combat skills really are pathetic.
18:29You need to learn your place.
18:33Besides, who else is ever going to truly care for you except for me?
18:39But was he truly sincere with me?
18:41No. He allowed his admirers to bully and belittle me.
18:45He wanted to turn me into an isolated island so I'd have no choice but to depend on him.
18:50But back then, what could I do?
18:53Olympus respects only the strong.
18:55Without power or a powerful protector, you're just great.
18:58A legendary face can attract countless admiring eyes, sure.
19:02But how much of that is real?
19:04Most are just shallow people lusting after a pretty face.
19:08Among those shallow options, Apollo was the best I had.
19:11He was a true god destined to be the most powerful god of war.
19:15No one would dare touch his woman.
19:17In that life, I regretted a thousand times that I hadn't grabbed the combat talent.
19:21But in this life, I finally have real power.
19:23I never have to live for someone else's approval again.
19:27Fueled by a lifetime of resentment, I fought until I saw again.
19:30And I will get stronger.
19:32Stronger than everyone until no one dares to look down on me or hurt me ever again.
19:37By the time the battle ended, I was standing in a sea of corpses.
19:41The few remaining demons stared at me with pure terror, trembling in their boots.
19:46To them, I was more terrifying than any demon.
19:49Death or surrender.
19:54They dropped their weapons instantly and surrendered to me.
19:57When we returned to the city, I found Smith.
20:00He was wounded and pale.
20:02Without a word, he handed me his divine artifact.
20:06I lost.
20:07I am giving you my artifact as promised.
20:11No one laughed at him.
20:13Instead, they all looked at me with deep, silent awe.
20:16I smiled and asked,
20:18What's wrong?
20:19We won the battle, but no one seems happy.
20:22I reached out and helped Smith to his feet.
20:24The bet was just a joke.
20:26Between us, there should only be mutual respect.
20:29On the battlefield, it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman.
20:32If you can fight, you're a hero.
20:34Smith rubbed his head awkwardly and gave a goofy grin.
20:38I was running my mouth.
20:40Please, don't take it to heart.
20:42I'll never dare to look down on you again.
20:47Do you even know how many demons you killed by yourself?
20:51I didn't count.
20:54The count is finished.
20:5512,300.
20:58Is that a lot or a little?
21:04I've been on this battlefield for 200 years.
21:07Smith looked like he was about to cry.
21:10The total number of Love's Eye demon isn't even 10,000.
21:13Demons are incredibly hard to kill, but you cut them down like vegetables.
21:18Everywhere you went, nothing was left alive.
21:20Even our own men were afraid to get close to you.
21:23We thought you'd kill us too.
21:26Sorry about that.
21:27First time, you know, no experience.
21:32The men didn't even know how to respond to that.
21:34If this is what no experience looks like,
21:37how scary are you going to be when you learn?
21:40The demon lord would probably run away the second he saw you.
21:43Smith's timid tone made everyone burst out laughing and the tension finally broke.
21:48I laughed along with them.
21:50After that battle, no one dared to underestimate me again.
21:53But the battlefield changed in an instant and the demons returned quickly.
21:56We had prepared as best we could.
21:58The demon army seemed to have gathered a massive force for a final showdown.
22:02They sent out three high-level Germans.
22:05Red Demon, Nightmare, and Colossus.
22:08Our top fighters were just me and Apollo.
22:11We were outnumbered.
22:12Apollo sent messengers back to Olympus for backup.
22:15But there was no reply.
22:16Only I knew the real reason why.
22:20In our past life, Apollo reached out to Athena for help during a crisis just like this.
22:25But his brothers, who were greedy for his throne, joined forces to block his message.
22:30They tricked Athena into going somewhere else and cut off all the news from the outside.
22:34Back then, I was the one who risked my life to find Athena and bring reinforcements.
22:38But this time, I'm not there to help.
22:40Will Phaedra, who is too busy flirting to care, actually help him?
22:45Apollo should be grateful that even though I'm not behind the lines, I'm right here on the battlefield with him.
22:50Otherwise, he'd already be facing a fight he couldn't survive.
22:53This was the exact battle where Phaedra almost lost her soul in the original time.
22:58Because of my hard work and my strength, the soldiers under my command have won many fights.
23:02But Apollo's reinforcements are still nowhere to be found.
23:05I know the truth.
23:06We are outnumbered and outmatched.
23:09In this fight, many will not make it back alive.
23:11But if we keep waiting, even more people will die.
23:14Alright everyone, listen to my orders!
23:17To protect Olympus, we go out now!
23:19Fight for our home!
23:20The gates of Olympus swung open.
23:23I charged straight into the building.
23:25At a burst, nothing had given noise.
23:27But the moment I locked eyes with one of the enemy soldiers,
23:30my consciousness was suddenly ripped away into another dimension.
23:34The deafening sounds of war vanished.
23:37Suddenly, I was back at the Great Hall of Olympus.
23:40Apollo was holding Phaedra's hand, receiving blessings from the gods.
23:43It looked exactly like their wedding day.
23:47You are out there risking your life, while the man you love is marrying your sister.
23:53Callista, how can you stand such a betrayal?
23:56A voice filled with dark temptation whispering in my ear.
23:59Is it really worth dying for a man like that?
24:02Look at me. The hero and the beauty.
24:05A match made in heaven.
24:07And look at you.
24:09Even with all your glory on the battlefield, what does it matter?
24:13Your sister does absolutely nothing, yet she gets to enjoy all the rewards.
24:17Did you know?
24:19It's only because of your victories that your sister is able to marry Apollo.
24:23She stole the honor that belongs to you.
24:25Don't you hate her?
24:27And Apollo, you're putting your life on the line for him.
24:30But he still loves your sister.
24:34How pathetic, Callista.
24:35You are truly pathetic.
24:38Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a black bird that didn't belong in the Great Hall.
24:43Chirp, chirp, chirp. You never shut up, do you?
24:49Is this really the best a demon god can do? How disappointing.
24:53With one punch, I shattered the illusion.
24:55Nightmare fell to the ground, coughing up blood, staring at me in total shock.
24:59You... How did you...
25:00I knew what he wanted to ask.
25:02He couldn't believe I saw it in his trap so quickly.
25:05Because none of that is what I actually want, you idiot.
25:08Do you really think every woman is trapped by her own romantic feelings?
25:11I don't care who Apollo's marries.
25:13It won't stop me from winning this war today.
25:16Instead of being someone's wife, I'd much rather be a goddess with my own name.
25:20With that, I finished Nightmare.
25:22His eyes stayed wide with shock as he took his final breath.
25:25This was a beautiful victory.
25:29After consulting with the gods, Athena recommended me to be a high goddess.
25:33I became the youngest high god in the history of Olympus.
25:36Before the victory banquet began, my sister came to find me again.
25:39She was as beautiful as ever.
25:41But her face was clouded with bitterness, which ruined her natural charm.
25:46Kalista, do you think being a high goddess makes you special?
25:49Apollo still loves me.
25:50And in the end, I'm the one who will be his wife.
25:55Mhm. Congratulations to you.
25:57To me, it never mattered who she married or what she became.
25:59In both my lives, I never truly viewed her as a rival.
26:02What's with that attitude? Do you look down on me?
26:06Even as a high goddess, you'll always be jealous of me!
26:10She realized I truly didn't care and it drove her insane.
26:12You're so smug, aren't you?
26:14Do you know why Apollo didn't bring reinforcements on time?
26:18Because I faked an injury.
26:20He stayed behind to save me and ignored the call.
26:24In his eyes, I am a hundred times more important than you.
26:27Well, then I should thank you, sister.
26:30If you hadn't held Apollo back, I never would have claimed all this massive military glory for myself.
26:36Suddenly, she rushed it, trying her old trick again.
26:39She grabbed my hand, shoved herself back, and tumbled down the stairs.
26:43With a sharp scream, her pure white divine dress was stained red with blood.
26:47Apollo appeared right on cue.
26:49Phaedra clutched her stomach, moaning in pain.
26:51My prince! My stomach hurts so much!
26:55My sister! She pushed me!
26:58She wanted to kill our child!
27:00Apollo didn't help her up. Instead, he gave her a cold look and walked toward me.
27:04Coletta, the banquet is starting. You should head over first.
27:08My prince, why?
27:11He turned back and looked at her with eyes like ice.
27:14I saw everything just now. You fell on purpose.
27:19And, because of your selfishness, you nearly cost the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers!
27:25It's time you were punished!
27:30I had no interest in the drama, so I turned to walk away.
27:34Coletta, you set me up again, didn't you?!
27:36Sister, if you hadn't tried to set me up, how could I have trapped you?
27:42It was true. I had invited Apollo to wait in the next room and watch the show.
27:46I could overlook her trying to hurt me, but she crossed the line when she used the lives of innocent
27:51soldiers just to spite me.
27:52Apollo arrived late to the victory banquet, looking quite pale.
27:56I was surrounded by my fellow soldiers and had no desire to talk to him, but he insisted on pulling
28:01me aside and asked,
28:02Callista, would you be willing to marry me?
28:04I was genuinely shocked.
28:06My prince, you're taking this joke too far.
28:09I admit, I was shallow before, I was blinded by beauty, but while fighting by your side, I found myself
28:14uncontrollably drawn to you.
28:15Your face may not compare to Phaedra's, but your courage and strength are far more beautiful.
28:19Callista, please, give me a chance.
28:21I looked at him and wanted to laugh, but I couldn't even find the energy.
28:24He hadn't changed at all. He was still the same man who only ever cared about himself.
28:29I'm sorry, my prince. Even though my sister and I are enemies, she is still my sister.
28:34You two have already shared a bed. I simply cannot accept that.
28:38Thank you for the compliment. With your status, I'm sure you'll find a much better wife.
28:43I'm not a fool. I'm not jumping back into that fire.
28:46Is there anything better than being a high goddess through my own power?
28:49Why would I ever want to be a stepping stone for a man?
28:52To my surprise, Phaedra had been hiding in the shadows and overheard Apollo's confession to me.
28:56She waited until I was deep in my cups, then lunged on the buttons.
29:00No!
29:01She spiraled into madness again.
29:04Why? Why do I lose to you no matter what I choose?
29:08No, I won't allow it! I want to start over! Again!
29:11The chill of her intent had already cleared the wine from my head.
29:14I looked at her with nothing but pity.
29:16Phaedra, do you still not understand?
29:18I never once viewed you as my rival.
29:21When you had the top tier combat talent, did you cherish it?
29:24When you were my age, did you spend a single day actually training?
29:29You can choose your talent, but you can't replace your brain.
29:32Do you get it now?
29:33Impossible! That's impossible!
29:36It's all your fault! You bewitched Apollo, that's why he doesn't want me!
29:39Let's start over! Next time I will win for sure!
29:43I'm sorry, but I don't feel like swapping anymore.
29:46She was pathetic, utterly fragile.
29:49In this life, she didn't even have the strength to drag me down to the grave with her.
29:52Why won't you kill me? Just kill me already!
29:56Kill her? There was absolutely no need for that.
29:59I'd much rather watch her continue to ruin her own life, one stupid mistake at a time.
