Short filmTranscript
00:00My wedding is hours away, and my fiancé just ran off to tend to his childhood sweetheart.
00:04Don't be petty. If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the mating ceremony.
00:07I called my seven-year nemesis instead.
00:09I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony.
00:12Care to do me a favor?
00:13Sylvia's really running a fever, and her wolf is weak.
00:16Every time she's been sick since we were kids, I've been by her side.
00:19I can't rest easy otherwise.
00:21Ethan's voice came through the phone, but it couldn't hurt me anymore.
00:24On my birthday, Sylvia got jostled at the high-end ball and ended up with bruises on her arm.
00:28He left me that same night to go tend to her.
00:30On our anniversary, Sylvia got gossiped about at Moonlight Spring where people called her
00:34an Omega who latches onto others.
00:36She felt so wronged, so Ethan left me to comfort her the entire night.
00:39Even the night before our wedding, Sylvia said she had a fever.
00:41He dropped me immediately and traveled across miles just to sit by her bedside.
00:45Ethan, I'm asking one last time, can you make it back for the noon ceremony or not?
00:49Lydia, I'm at Sylvia's work site right now.
00:51It's three hours to the nearest airport.
00:52I can't make it.
00:53Just postpone the ceremony for one day, alright?
00:56Postpone?
00:56My family is decorating the wedding house with me right now.
00:59All our pack members and guests are either at the moon bloom already or on their way.
01:02You're telling me to postpone?
01:03What am I supposed to tell them?
01:05Lydia.
01:05Tell them what?
01:06That my fiancé is a thousand miles away with another she-wolf?
01:09That you're a cheating fiancé?
01:10That she's a slut who stole you?
01:11Lydia, what's between me and Sylvia isn't what you think.
01:14Don't be so petty.
01:15Petty?
01:16You and Sylvia should just get married on the spot.
01:17Signing you're your mate bond right now.
01:19Why waste all these years with mine?
01:21Four years.
01:21I've watched their acting for four years.
01:23I'm tired.
01:24I delivered my final ultimatum.
01:26If you can't make it back today, we're done.
01:28Lydia, I understand you're emotionally unstable out of your jealousy.
01:30But like I said, I just can't make it back.
01:32If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the wedding.
01:34With that, he hung up in a huff.
01:36As if I was the one in the wrong all along.
01:38Yeah, I was wrong.
01:39I brought this on myself.
01:41But from now on, never again.
01:43I turned around, grabbed the nearest chair, and hurled it at our wedding portrait hanging on the wall.
01:48People rushed in through the door.
01:49They saw the smashed picture frames and froze.
01:52Lydia, what happened?
01:53What did that bastard Ethan say?
01:55Don't hurt yourself.
01:56Let me smash.
01:57The wedding room was a disaster zone.
01:58Forget it.
01:59No wedding is better than this.
02:01I will tell your father to explain it to your grandfather.
02:03Who says I'm not getting married?
02:04What?
02:05I dialed my arch nemesis, Orion Silvermoon.
02:08The Silvermoon noble representative on the council.
02:10Future Duke of Silvermoon.
02:11Back in school, I came from Shadowmoon commoners.
02:14He was Silvermoon nobility.
02:15We fought for every ranking.
02:16On the council, I represented the Shadowmoon district while he led the younger generation of the noble faction.
02:20We argued countless times.
02:22For years, he blocked what was mine, and I took what was his.
02:25Everyone thought we were fire and ice.
02:26I was about to hang up when it connected.
02:28His voice carried a hint of hesitation.
02:30Hello?
02:31Lydia?
02:31Whatever.
02:32Orion Silvermoon was the only one I could think of who might actually say yes.
02:36When he found out I was getting married, he joked,
02:38Wouldn't it be great if you married me instead?
02:40Then we wouldn't have to be arch enemies anymore, mating each other and becoming power couple?
02:43Today, I could lose love, but I could not lose my dignity.
02:46This wedding must happen.
02:48Yeah, it's me.
02:49I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony.
02:52Mr. Orion Silvermoon, would you mind attending my wedding and signing a mating contract?
02:57Silence on the other end.
02:58One second.
02:59Two seconds.
03:00Three.
03:00My heart pounded harder.
03:02Disappointment started to creep in.
03:03Lydia, what kind of joke is this?
03:05If you don't want to, then forget-
03:07I do.
03:09You said yes?
03:10Yeah.
03:11I said yes.
03:12But let me make this clear.
03:14I'm not being just a tool.
03:16What do you mean?
03:17Orion Silvermoon doesn't wed a fake mate.
03:19I want a real one.
03:20Someone who can lie beside me.
03:22Someone I can feel flesh and blood.
03:24Warmth.
03:25You understand?
03:27Deal.
03:28Deal.
03:30So what do I need to do now?
03:32Get to the Moonbloom altar before 11 a.m. for our ceremony.
03:37Also, we need a wedding house.
03:38Got it.
03:39Leave that to me.
03:40I promise you won't be disappointed.
03:44We ended the call.
03:46Orion Silvermoon?
03:48Is that the same Orion Silvermoon you call your arch nevices on the council?
03:52Yes.
03:53But that can't work.
03:55What if he takes advantage of you?
03:56What if he screws you over?
03:57Why not, Auntie?
03:58I think it's great.
03:59Orion Silvermoon, the council representative, just like Lydia, and he is the only heir of
04:02the Duke of Silvermoon.
04:04Way better than that two-timing jerk Ethan Ashburn who thinks his diplomatic official
04:07title makes him special.
04:08Orion Silvermoon and I were just using each other.
04:10But it didn't matter.
04:12All I wanted was for this ceremony to go on.
04:14I wouldn't lose face because of Ethan Ashfield.
04:16And I definitely wouldn't let my family lose face because of me.
04:20Ethan's parents called me, playing mediators.
04:22You'd better think carefully.
04:23If you don't postpone and end up without a mate at the altar, your family will be the
04:27one humiliated in public.
04:29Either way, the Ashfield family won't be attending.
04:32The wedding will not be delayed.
04:33Stop throwing a tantrum.
04:35Don't be so unreasonable.
04:37The Ashford family has noble blood in our ancestry.
04:40We're a political dynasty now.
04:42Everyone who marries into our family is well-behaved and obedient.
04:46Lydia, if you want to marry into our family, you need to learn to be softer and change
04:51that fierce nature of yours.
04:53I hung up.
04:54Couldn't be bothered to listen to their nonsense anymore.
04:56Marry into the Ashford family and suffer?
04:58Dream on.
04:59The Ashford family prided themselves on their noble bloodline.
05:03Except they'd lost their noble title generations ago.
05:07All that remained was their last name and their delusional self-importance.
05:11Even the wedding house I was standing in right now, my parents had bought it because they
05:15thought Ashford's chosen house was too run down.
05:18So this one near my family home was meant to be a gift for the newlyweds after the ceremony.
05:23Once, I saw this place as start of the happy life I've been waiting for.
05:27Now, it was evidence of my poor judgment and misplaced trust in a cheater.
05:31After smashing the last photo, I went back home and told the makeup artist to start.
05:36There was no groom's procession coming from the Ashford family anymore.
05:39But tradition said the bride still had to departure from her family house with her relatives and
05:44head to the moonbloom altar.
05:46I knew that even though I'd asked Orion to save the ceremony at the altar, I'd have to
05:50play the part alone until I got there.
05:51No matter how hard it was, I was going to play this role wonderful today.
05:56But what I never expected happened.
05:59As we were getting ready to leave, the sound of lures and ballads floated up from downstairs.
06:05Lydia!
06:06Groom is here!
06:09I quickly finished dressing and went downstairs.
06:18What the hell?
06:20Orion Silvermoon and I were four years of competing in school, three years of fighting on the council.
06:24I'd known him for seven years.
06:26I'd always known that behind his gentlemanly nobility facade, you should never be fooled by his handsome looks into messing
06:31with him.
06:31But right now, in this moment, I had no way back.
06:35Orion Silvermoon, what are you doing with this huge spectacle?
06:40I'm married to you.
06:46There you come, the loving pair.
06:49Orion's father, his grace, the Duke of Silvermoon.
06:52I'd crossed paths with him a few times on the council, but Orion's mother, her grace, the Duchess of Silvermoon,
06:58I was meeting for the first time.
06:59Here you come, Lydia.
07:01Orion told me his future mate was exceptionally pretty.
07:04Seeing now, truly stunning.
07:07No wonder our son chased his mate for so long.
07:10Don't you agree, Nolan?
07:11Orion chased for so long?
07:13What?
07:14Your grace, excuse us.
07:19Off you go, young lovers.
07:22You, didn't I tell you to just go straight to the Moonbloom altar?
07:25That's what I'm doing, picking up my bride and going.
07:30What?
07:31Mad?
07:32Hey, hey, Lydia Vance.
07:33I told you, I'm fine with getting married, but I refuse to be a prop.
07:37You want to save face, don't I?
07:39If I go straight to the altar and make my bride walk out of her own family home alone, what
07:41do you think people will say about me?
07:43I, okay, I get it.
07:44I turned my head and looked at the room full of gifts and the impressive motor trade outside the window,
07:49feeling both annoyed and amused.
07:51How did you manage to arrange all this in just two hours?
07:55Compared to you, this is nothing.
07:58What?
07:59Nothing.
08:00My bride, shouldn't we get going?
08:02Any later, we'll be cutting it close.
08:04I pressed down the heat in my cheeks and walked out of the room with him, surrounded by everyone, into
08:09the courtyard.
08:17Orion, pick her up!
08:19Hurry!
08:21The wolf pack honored strength.
08:23A bride leaving her family home had to be carried to the wedding car by her groom.
08:28He, who was without enough strength, didn't deserve to have a mate.
08:33But before today, I never would have imagined the one giving me this wedding lift would be Orion Silvermoon.
08:42In my memory, this guy had a venomous tongue.
08:45If words alone could kill, I'd have died a thousand times by his mouth.
08:49Back in school, summer camp was when girls' feelings grew.
08:52The heat, the outdoor bonding were perfect conditions for sweet romance.
08:56She's tired from the hike.
08:57That bottle is heavy.
08:58Let me carry it for her.
09:04Think you can carry it now?
09:06The scene was so awkward, it was furiously embarrassing!
09:11The quarterback was pretty embarrassed, too.
09:13He never talked to me again.
09:15And my sweet school romance died right there in its cradle.
09:18After that, he got even worse.
09:20He kept popping up out of nowhere to mess with me.
09:22Every chance I had to get close to a handsome guy, he ruined it!
09:25After graduation, I found a relationship, joined the council, career, and love.
09:30I thought I'd finally say goodbye to troublesome Orion for good.
09:33But we ran right into each other again on the council.
09:36He was the next leader of the noble faction.
09:39I was the rising star from the commoner side.
09:42We were always on opposite sides of the chamber, fighting tooth and nail.
09:45And now, this arch-rival had become the only one who could save me from the wedding disaster.
09:50And even now, in his arms, I felt cherished, seen, loved.
09:56Focus on me.
09:57No thinking about others, my bride.
09:59He shifted his arms, and I instinctively held on tighter.
10:03Fine.
10:04Focus on you.
10:05Feel that?
10:08Can't wait to leave your mark on me, can you, my mate?
10:10You, Orion?
10:11Still a pest.
10:12Noon.
10:13The moon bloom altar.
10:14The ceremony began.
10:16Wasn't the groom supposed to be Ethan Ashford?
10:18This one is way tall and way more handsome than Ethan Ashford.
10:22Lydia switched grooms at the last second?
10:24Wait!
10:25He's wearing silvermoon noble crest?
10:28Juicy!
10:28I looked at the guests, about to explain, but Orion Silvermoon beat me to it.
10:33He signaled the moon bloom priest, and activated his alpha domain.
10:42His alpha command made every voice go silent.
10:45Dear families and friends, I am Orion Silvermoon, and I am Lydia Vars' mate.
10:50Today, thank you all for coming to our wedding, to witness how our love has finally found its
10:54way here after countless trials and storms.
10:56After the wrong one is sent away, you will realize how precious the right one is.
11:02So, this is the wedding.
11:05Beneath the moon bloom tree, with the moon goddess as our witness.
11:09Oh, my moon goddess.
11:10All these years, I thought Orion Silvermoon's tongue was just sharp.
11:13Turns out it could also spin tails out of Flynn and Air.
11:16Lydia and I finally become blessed mates.
11:20Good thing the Ashford's said they wouldn't come, and they really kept their word.
11:24Otherwise, this speech would have given them a stroke.
11:27I watched Orion weave those love stories I'd never even heard of, and suddenly felt when
11:32my biggest enemy's venom stopped spraying at me and started spraying with me at someone
11:36else.
11:37Yeah, this feels pretty good.
11:39Next, the ring exchange.
11:41The one I prepared was for Ethan's size.
11:43No, no, no, no.
11:45Whether they fit or not, Orion Silvermoon U was going to have to put them on.
11:50But when the rings came up, I froze.
11:53This box wasn't the box for me and Ethan's rings.
11:57You!
12:01Is that the Silvermoon Eye?
12:03The heirloom of the Silvermoon family?
12:07It hasn't left the Silvermoon family in centuries.
12:10What a royal romance!
12:12A handsome, rich Duke's heir?
12:15Ten times better than Ethan Ashford.
12:17I wouldn't want Ethan either.
12:19He really is just a wrong one to skip.
12:21What's the real story behind the groom change?
12:23I feel like there's more to this.
12:24Hey, who cares?
12:25Just enjoy the show.
12:30Why does it fit perfectly?
12:33And now, Orion Silvermoon, under the watch of the moon goddess, beneath the moonbloom tree
12:39in the presence and with the blessings of family and friends, please give your mate,
12:43Lydia, a true love's kiss.
12:44Just fake it.
12:46Use the angle.
12:46I was about to turn my face away when he leaned down.
12:53He leaned down.
12:55And kissed me.
12:59My emotions were already all over the place.
13:02But after the ceremony?
13:04Still not over.
13:06Some guests wanted to see our wedding house.
13:09What, were we going to show them the wreckage I'd made in the house meant for me and my ex
13:13-fiance?
13:13No, no, no.
13:15Lydia Vals does not embarrass herself like that.
13:17Everyone, you're all welcome.
13:20Follow the wedding procession.
13:24This guy had lost his mind.
13:26Orion Silvermoon, this substitute groom, had already done more than perfectly.
13:29Could he possibly have had time to arrange the wedding house, too?
13:32On the later way, I was worried sick.
13:34I wanted to blame him for agreeing to their request, but then I thought about it.
13:37To be fair, as a substitute groom today, he's done more than enough.
13:40More than good enough.
13:48But when we arrived, I realized I'd been wrong.
13:52The staff setting us up just left.
13:57From the entrance, to the villa, to the wedding room, flawlessly arranged.
14:07And the craziest part?
14:09There were even wedding portraits?
14:13Judging by the bride and the photos, they were clearly the ones I'd taken with Ethan before.
14:18But the groom standing next to me in the pictures?
14:22That was Aureus?
14:24After a full day of ceremonies, I was completely exhausted.
14:27After showering, I threw on my nightgown, climbed onto that huge wedding bed without any pretense, and just collapsed.
14:33I couldn't even be bothered to move my toes.
14:36The wedding house arrangements here.
14:38How did you pull that off in such a short time?
14:40Money.
14:41All right, all right, you filthy rich guys.
14:43And the wedding portraits.
14:45How did you get those?
14:47I still couldn't figure that one out.
14:50What if I said Ethan sent them to me?
14:52Would you believe me?
14:53What?
14:54He sent them to you?
14:56Why would he do that?
14:57I guess.
14:58Fine, keep it yourself.
15:00I quickly looked away.
15:01My throat felt dry.
15:03I want to...
15:06sleep alone for now.
15:07You mean separate rooms?
15:09Maybe it was because we'd been arch enemies for so long,
15:12but I knew that to win against him, you didn't fight fire with fire.
15:15You picked your moments to soften.
15:18Three days.
15:19Three days.
15:20Could we...
15:21No.
15:22Don't burn the bridge after you've crossed it.
15:25Have some conscience.
15:27I stared at his back and suddenly felt like laughing.
15:30He didn't seem so hard to manage after all.
15:33But before I could finish feeling happy,
15:35I saw him go into the bathroom,
15:37come out quickly,
15:38and strode over to the big couch across the room.
15:41He lay down.
15:42I froze.
15:43Orion,
15:44still you pest.
15:46What are you doing?
15:48Didn't I say I wanted to sleep alone?
15:51Aren't you sleeping alone right now?
15:52I was so frustrated,
15:54I started laughing.
15:55I sat up angrily.
15:56I meant I sleep alone in this room,
15:59and you go sleep in the guest room.
16:01No chance.
16:02You, Lydia Vounce,
16:04care about face,
16:05don't I?
16:06I'm already having a hard time explaining this whole
16:08last-minute groom situation to my family.
16:11My parents,
16:12my whole family,
16:13they chose to trust me
16:14and went along with everything.
16:16And you want me to sleep in the guest room?
16:19What if they find out?
16:20What do I say then?
16:21What he said
16:22kind of made sense,
16:24but it's only three days.
16:30Orion saw my hesitation
16:32and guessed immediately.
16:37Ethan Ashford?
16:38Lydia,
16:39I'm about to board.
16:41Two hours from now,
16:42come pick me up at the airport.
16:44Huh.
16:45Ethan Ashford,
16:47have you lost your memory?
16:49Lita,
16:50it's all my fault.
16:51I shouldn't have left you.
16:52I'm sorry.
16:53Ethan Ashford,
16:54I've already got married today.
16:57Come on, babe.
16:58Stop being mad.
16:59Neither I
17:00nor anyone from my family was there.
17:03What wedding could you possibly have had?
17:05Yes.
17:06Neither you nor your family showed up.
17:08My family and I planned executed the entire wedding.
17:10When you couldn't come,
17:11not once did you think about
17:11how to explain the postponement to the guests.
17:13Not once did you offer to handle it for me.
17:15One phone call,
17:16and you told me to postpone the wedding.
17:17But Ethan Ashford,
17:18in this world,
17:19you are not the only man.
17:20What do you mean?
17:21Lydia,
17:22what the hell do you mean?
17:23Lydia Vance,
17:24answer me.
17:24Just then,
17:24Orion reached his hand out to me.
17:26I hesitated for a moment,
17:28and then gave him the phone.
17:30Maybe Orion and I had no future.
17:32But one thing was certain.
17:34I was never going back to Ethan Ashford.
17:37Answer what?
17:38Whoever you find to pick you up at this late hour is your business.
17:41But you do not get to order my mate around.
17:45You, Orion?
17:47You're Orion Silvermoon.
17:49Hey, address my name once is enough.
17:51I'm not your boss.
17:53Who's your mate?
17:54You bastard!
17:55Why do you have Lydia's phone?
17:57It's obviously Lydia, my mate.
18:00Ethan, don't play dumb.
18:01You know exactly what you've been up to.
18:03Stop bothering my mate,
18:04or things won't end well for you.
18:07Lydia Vance,
18:08Orion Silvermoon,
18:09You two are cheating behind me.
18:11But quickly,
18:12my phone rang again.
18:13Of course,
18:14Ethan Ashford again.
18:16This time,
18:17blocked and black.
18:18That night,
18:19I felt completely drained.
18:21Body and soul.
18:22But my mind was still wide awake.
18:24Thought I'd be up all night.
18:25But at some point,
18:27I drifted off.
18:29According to tradition,
18:30the day after becoming mates,
18:32I had to go back to visit my parents.
18:35I sighed.
18:36I didn't have any clean clothes to change into.
18:40Just when I was just going to wash up and head out,
18:43I noticed a set of clothes neatly folded on the couch.
18:47Everything was my size.
18:49Orion?
18:51He actually had such a contiguous side?
18:54I showered, changed,
18:56did my makeup,
18:57and left the room.
19:00Awake?
19:01Orion was downstairs,
19:03wearing an apron,
19:04arranging plates on the table.
19:07Got all dressed up to go see your family?
19:09Come eat first,
19:10then we'll go.
19:14How,
19:15how did you know that today...
19:17I just know.
19:19Lydia,
19:19everything about you,
19:21I know it all.
19:22In a Danes,
19:23I let him lead me to the table and sit me down.
19:25This guy I'd always thought of as arrogant,
19:28untouchable,
19:28and my biggest rival,
19:30he actually had such a domestic side,
19:32I took a bite of breakfast.
19:33It was actually delicious.
19:36You made this?
19:37Yeah.
19:38If you like it,
19:39I'll make it for you more often.
19:40I can cook a lot of other dishes too.
19:42Lydia,
19:43you can trust completely.
19:45In the days to come,
19:46I will take very good care of my mate.
19:48Suddenly,
19:48I didn't dare look into those deep eyes.
19:51I lowered my head and ate.
19:53After breakfast,
19:54since I didn't cook,
19:55I automatically started clearing the dishes.
19:58But a rain caught my hand.
20:01Hands of yours?
20:03They shouldn't be doing this.
20:04That's my job,
20:05Mrs. Silvermoon.
20:06Don't overstep.
20:08He put the dishes in the dishwasher.
20:09I stood there watching.
20:11When I'd cook and clean up,
20:13Ethan would hug me from behind and say,
20:17I'm so lucky to have someone as capable as you.
20:21But Orion said,
20:23these hands of yours shouldn't be doing this.
20:26What are you thinking about?
20:28Nothing.
20:29My heart suddenly started racing.
20:31My face felt hot.
20:32I quickly tried to step back.
20:33But he reached out,
20:34wrapped an arm around my waist,
20:35and lowered his head,
20:36kissing my forehead.
20:38Just as I was internally struggling,
20:39my mom's phone call saved me from awkwardness.
20:42Lydia,
20:42the Ashfords showed up at our door to cause trouble.
20:45Don't worry.
20:46Lydia and I will be right there.
20:48Your daughter has no shame.
20:51She's been messing around with another man
20:53behind my son's back this whole time.
20:56The shameless one is Ethan Ashford.
21:00You two bastard and...
21:02Silence!
21:04This is Vance's family house.
21:06Your Vance family was in the wrong first.
21:08Can't I even say a few words?
21:10On a wedding day.
21:11Unless dead,
21:12you need crawl to the altar if you have to.
21:14But your precious son,
21:16Ethan Ashfield,
21:17went to be with another she-wolf.
21:19And now you say the Vance family is in the wrong?
21:21All of you,
21:22get out!
21:23I never expected
21:24that you wouldn't even offer a single apology.
21:27Instead, you get out!
21:31Fine, we'll go.
21:33But,
21:34that villa you promised them,
21:36you have to sell it
21:37and give us half.
21:39Why would we give you half?
21:41Because that was the agreement
21:42between our two families.
21:44Are you so money-obsessed
21:45you've lost your mind?
21:46Why would we give half of the wedding house
21:48my family's bought to your family?
21:49What is your Ethan Ashford to us now?
21:51But our family's Lydia Sunlaw
21:52is not the Ethan of your Ashford family.
21:54It's Orion, Orion Silvermoon.
21:56Yes!
21:57My son-in-law's name is Orion Silvermoon,
21:59not Ethan Ashford.
22:02Fine, fine, fine.
22:04You cheated on my son,
22:05climbed up to a higher branch,
22:06and you're still so self-righteous about it?
22:08I'm going to expose this.
22:10I'll make sure everyone knows
22:11about your dirty secrets!
22:13With parents like you,
22:15no wonder you raised a cheating bastard
22:17like Ethan Ashford.
22:20Lydia Vance, just you wait!
22:22You'd better wait one minute.
22:26Now.
22:31For your precious son,
22:33take it home and have a good look.
22:35I've got plenty more of these.
22:36You're welcome to expose
22:38whatever you want.
22:39I'd love to see who ends up
22:40looking like the fool.
22:45What did you give them?
22:47I just thought Ashford's head couple
22:49were a bit snobbish.
22:50But Ethan Ashford is well-mannered,
22:52gentle, soft-spoken,
22:54and Lydia wouldn't be living
22:55with her in-laws anyway,
22:56so I didn't think much of it.
22:58But now that I think about it,
22:59thank the moon goddess
23:00Lydia didn't marry into that family,
23:01or I...
23:02Oh, my moon godness!
23:04Silver moon hereby
23:06shall convey these gifts
23:07to you all.
23:08Orion was good-looking,
23:10and when he smiled,
23:11it was impossible
23:11not to like him.
23:12But my grandfather's face
23:14was still cold
23:15for this last-minute
23:16substitute groom.
23:17We're family now.
23:18No need for gifts.
23:20I just heard you enjoy chess.
23:22We happen to have
23:23some antique chess sets at home,
23:25ones that came from the palace
23:26in the old days.
23:28Better to let someone
23:28who appreciates them enjoy them
23:30than to let them gather
23:31dust in a corner.
23:31Palace chess sets?
23:33Yes, grandfather.
23:34Please take a look.
23:37The mudwin exquisite.
23:39The pieces smooth the touch.
23:42Fine archaic quality.
23:44This is too valuable.
23:45You should take it back.
23:46The most precious treasure
23:47in the Vance family
23:48has already married
23:49into my family.
23:50What's some mere chess kits
23:51compared to that?
23:53Grandfather,
23:53if you still accept me
23:54as your grandson-in-law,
23:55please do accept
23:56this small gift.
23:57Dang it.
23:58He really pulled off
23:59a big one here.
24:00This gentlemanly act,
24:01I almost forgot
24:03what a sharp-tongued jerk
24:04he really was,
24:05but that chess set
24:06really won grandfather over.
24:08In the end,
24:09he kept it.
24:10The other boxes contained
24:11fine black tea,
24:12which my dad loved,
24:13an antique necklace,
24:15perfect for my mom's
24:16collection hobby,
24:16and gifts for uncle,
24:18aunt, cousins, everyone.
24:19Orion's assistants
24:20handed out the gifts
24:21one by one.
24:22Every single gift
24:23was irresistible
24:24to the recipient.
24:25Then I watched Orion
24:26play chess with my grandfather,
24:28evenly matched,
24:29and eventually tactically
24:30losing subtly
24:31to grandfather.
24:34Then he drank tea
24:35with my dad,
24:36speaking with
24:36impressive knowledge.
24:38What a coincidence.
24:39I like this actor too.
24:40At the same time,
24:41he chatted casually
24:42with my mom
24:42who was watching
24:43a show nearby.
24:44You know,
24:44he and I,
24:45as well as Lydia,
24:46we actually went
24:46to the same academy.
24:47Whoa, really?
24:49By the end of the day,
24:50Orion had charmed
24:50my entire family.
24:51They were all happy,
24:53like we'd been
24:53a family forever.
24:54Their address for him
24:55had gone from Orion
24:56to the affectionate Ori.
24:59Lydia, Ori is good.
25:01You two live well together.
25:03Yes, listen to your grandfather.
25:06Come back for dinner often.
25:07I'll cook for you myself.
25:09Mom.
25:09Listen to your mother.
25:10Thank you for having me.
25:11Take care.
25:13Fine, fine, fine.
25:14This whole family
25:15had been drugged
25:16by Orion's charm,
25:17hadn't they?
25:22Tired?
25:24I'm okay.
25:40Why so quiet?
25:44Why did you agree
25:45to marry me?
25:47Why would I say no?
25:49You're beautiful,
25:50smart,
25:51and capable.
25:53Plus,
25:54marrying you
25:55means I have
25:55one less
25:56formidable opponent.
26:01Don't even think about it.
26:03We're not going to let this
26:04affect our debates
26:05on the council.
26:07We will see.
26:09He chuckled.
26:10I didn't understand
26:11what he meant.
26:15Lydia,
26:16that historic
26:17building maintenance proposal,
26:18the one we've been
26:18fighting over
26:19for three months,
26:20the noble representatives
26:21have finally relented.
26:22They're willing to come
26:23to the table
26:23for negotiations.
26:26Really?
26:27Goddess knew
26:28what got into them.
26:28The elders in guard
26:29is still worried
26:29about noble assets
26:30and won't fully veg,
26:31but Mr. Silvermoon
26:31convinced them
26:32to at least sit down
26:33and talk.
26:33Who knew the new
26:34leader of the noble
26:34faction would suddenly
26:35be so cooperative?
26:36Is it because
26:36he just got married
26:37and good fortune
26:37is spreading
26:38to our stalled proposal?
26:39Whoever she is,
26:40let's all thanks
26:41this mysterious work
26:41finally has hope.
26:42Didn't know that
26:43you had not know
26:43Silvermoe was standing
26:44right and has fun of you.
26:45Miss Veld?
26:46What's wrong?
26:47Aren't you happy?
26:48Nothing.
26:49Go for your work.
26:51Orion,
26:51why the sudden concession
26:53on the deadlocked proposal?
26:54It's not a concession.
26:55It's allowing both sides
26:56to negotiate better.
27:03Usually,
27:04you would have fought me
27:05to the ground on this.
27:06You were someone else's partner.
27:08Now you're my mate.
27:09Why would I fight
27:09against my own mate?
27:15And I'm here
27:16to pick you up
27:17from work.
27:17My mate.
27:19Before bed,
27:20while I was in the bathroom
27:20putting on a face mask,
27:22an unknown number
27:23called me.
27:24Five missed calls.
27:25The last one
27:26was three minutes ago.
27:28I got calls
27:29and you didn't tell me?
27:32Out there.
27:41Ethan Ashburn.
27:43How does he know
27:44this place?
27:45With that many people
27:46at the wedding,
27:47there's always one or two
27:48who like to stir up trouble.
27:49A text from that
27:50unknown number.
27:51Lydia,
27:51I'm right outside
27:52Orion Silvermoon's house.
27:54Come down.
27:54I need to talk to you.
27:55Wanna go out?
28:01You sure about this?
28:03Yeah.
28:04One last time.
28:10Lydia,
28:10you finally come
28:11to talk to me.
28:14Lydia,
28:15I need to talk to you.
28:15He can't be here.
28:21An outsider
28:22like Sylvia
28:22can be here
28:23but my mate
28:24can't.
28:25Mate.
28:27So you were
28:28hooking up
28:28behind my back
28:29all along.
28:32Lydia Vance,
28:33you're nothing
28:33but a beat.
28:42It was a strong one.
28:44Right after,
28:45my palm was sore,
28:46hot,
28:46and tingly.
28:51This is the last time,
28:52Ethan Ashford.
28:53Stop pretending.
28:54The moment you slept
28:55with Sylvia,
28:56you knew this was coming.
28:58You knew?
28:59Ask your dear Sylvia.
29:02She emailed me
29:03all those disgusting
29:03photos of the two of you.
29:05You promised me
29:06you wouldn't let her find out!
29:08Sylvia stayed silent
29:09but the corner of her mouth
29:11curled into a bitter,
29:12sad smile.
29:13Suddenly,
29:14I didn't hate her anymore
29:15because she was not only
29:17hateful but also pitiful.
29:19Let's make it
29:19no more troubles.
29:22From now on,
29:23you go your way,
29:25I'll go mine.
29:26I turned and walked back.
29:27How they tangled
29:28with each other
29:28was no longer my business.
29:30Ori and Silvermoon,
29:31you finally stole
29:32your long-time dream girl.
29:33Feeling proud of yourself?
29:35What?
29:36Who's your long-time dream girl?
29:38It's you.
29:40My love.
29:42My mate.
29:43My Mrs. Silvermoon.
