Short filmTranscript
00:00My wedding is hours away, and my fiancé just ran off to tend to his childhood sweetheart.
00:17Don't be petty. If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the mating ceremony.
00:21Then postpone the mating ceremony.
00:23I called my seven-year nemesis instead.
00:26I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony. Care to do me a favor?
00:31Sylvia's really running a fever, and her wolf is weak.
00:36Every time she's been sick since we were kids, I've been by her side. I can't rest easy otherwise.
00:43Ethan's voice came through the phone, but it couldn't hurt me anymore.
00:47On my birthday, Sylvia got jostled at the high-end ball and ended up with bruises on her arm.
00:53He left me that same night, to go tend to her dot on our anniversary.
00:57Sylvia got gossiped about at moonlight for me.
00:59Spring with Rikwakol called an Omega, who latches onto others.
01:04She felt so wronged.
01:06Ethan left me to comfort her the entire night.
01:09Even the night before our wedding, Sylvia said she had a fever.
01:14He dropped me immediately, and traveled across miles, just to sit by her bedside.
01:24Ethan, I'm asking one last time. Can you make it back for the noon ceremony or not?
01:31Lydia, I'm at Sylvia's work site right now. It's three hours to the nearest airport. I can't make it. Just
01:39postpone the ceremony for one day, alright?
01:43Postpone? My family is decorating the wedding house with me right now.
01:47All our pack members and guests are either at the Moonbloom altar already or on their way.
01:53You're telling me to postpone? What am I supposed to tell them?
02:01Lydia?
02:02Tell them what? That my fiancé is a thousand miles away with another she-wolf?
02:07That you're a cheating fiancé? That she's a slut who stole you?
02:13Lydia, what's between me and Sylvia isn't what you think. Don't be so petty.
02:22Petty?
02:23You and Sylvia should just get married on the spot, signing your-your mate bond right now. Why waste all
02:27these years of mine?
02:28Four years. I've watched their acting for four years. I'm tired. I delivered my final ultimatum dot.
02:33If you can't make it back today, we're done.
02:36Lydia, I understand you're emotionally unstable out of your jealousy, but like I said, I just can't make it back.
02:41If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the wedding.
02:45With that, he hung up in a huffed dot as if I was the one in the wrong all along
02:50dot.
02:51I was wrong. I brought this on myself dot, but from now on, never again.
02:55People rushed in through the door. They saw the smashed picture frames and froze.
03:01Lydia, what happened? What did that bastard Ethan say?
03:05Don't hurt yourself. Let me smash.
03:09The wedding room was a disaster zone.
03:13Forget it. No wedding is better than this. I will tell your father to explain it to your grandfather.
03:22Who says I'm not getting married?
03:24What?!
03:27I dialed my arch nemesis.
03:30Orion Silvermoon.
03:31The Silvermoon noble representative on the council.
03:33Future Duke of Silvermoon.
03:35Back in school, I came from Shadowmoon commoners.
03:38He was Silvermoon nobility.
03:40We fought for every ranking.
03:41On the council, I represented the Shadowmoon district.
03:44While he led the younger generation of the noble faction.
03:47We argued countless times.
03:49For years, he blocked what was mine, and I took what was his.
03:53Everyone thought we were fire and ice.
04:00I was about to hang up when it connected.
04:02His voice carried a hint of hesitation.
04:05Hello?
04:06Lydia?
04:07Whatever.
04:08Orion Silvermoon was the only one I could think of who might actually say yes.
04:13When he found out I was getting married.
04:15He joked.
04:17Wouldn't it be great if you married me instead?
04:20Then we wouldn't have to be arch enemies anymore.
04:22Mating each other and becoming power couple.
04:25Today, I could lose love, but I could not lose my dignity dot.
04:29This wedding must happen.
04:32Yeah, it's me.
04:34I...
04:34I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony.
04:37Mr. Orion Silvermoon.
04:39Would you mind attending my wedding and signing a mating contract with me?
04:42Lydia, signing a mating contract?
04:45One second.
04:46Two seconds.
04:47Three.
04:47My heart pounded harder.
04:49Disappointment started to creep in.
04:53Lydia, what kind of joke is this?
04:54If...
04:55If you don't want to, then forget...
04:57I do.
04:59You...
04:59You said yes?
05:02Yeah, I said yes.
05:03But...
05:04Let me make this clear.
05:05I'm not being just a tool.
05:08What do you mean?
05:09Orion Silvermoon.
05:10Doesn't wed a fake mate.
05:12I want a real one.
05:13Someone who can lie beside me.
05:16Someone I can feel flesh and blood, warmth.
05:19You understand?
05:21Deal.
05:25Deal.
05:28So, what do I need to do now?
05:30Get to the Moonbloom altar before 11am for our ceremony.
05:35Also...
05:36We need a wedding house.
05:38Got it.
05:39Leave that to me.
05:40I promise you won't be disappointed.
05:45Orion Silvermoon?
05:46Is that the same Orion Silvermoon you call your arch-nemese on the council?
05:50Yes.
05:50But that... that can't work.
05:52What if he takes advantage of you?
05:54What if he screws you over?
05:55Why not?
05:56Auntie, I think it's great!
05:58Orion Silvermoon.
05:58The council represent us just like Lydia.
06:01And he is the only heir of the Duke of Silvermoon.
06:04Way better than that two-tipping jerk Ethan Ashford
06:06who thinks his diplomatic official title makes him special.
06:10Orion Silvermoon and I were just using each other dot.
06:13But it didn't matter.
06:15All I wanted was for this ceremony to go on.
06:18I wouldn't lose face because of Ethan Ashford.
06:21And I definitely wouldn't let my family lose face because of me.
06:27You'd better think carefully.
06:28If you don't postpone and end up without a mate at the altar,
06:31your family will be the one humiliated in public.
06:34Either way, the Ashford family won't be attending.
06:36The wedding will not be delayed.
06:39Stop throwing a tantrum.
06:40Don't be so unreasonable.
06:41The Ashford family has noble blesestry.
06:44We're a political dynasty now.
06:46Everyone married to our family is well-behaved and obedient.
06:49Lydia, you aren't checking to women's family.
06:51You should also be roaring.
06:53I hung up.
06:55Couldn't be bothered to listen to their nonsense anymore.
06:58Dot marrying into the Ashford family and suffer dreaming on.
07:04The Ashford family prided themselves on their noble bloodline.
07:09Except they'd lost their noble title generations ago.
07:12All that remained was their last name and their delusion of self-importance.
07:16Even the wedding house I was standing in right now, my parents had bought it.
07:21Because they thought Ashford's chosen house was too run down.
07:25So this one near my family home was meant to be a gift for the newlyweds after the ceremony.
07:32Once, I saw this place as the start of the happy life I'd been waiting for.
07:36Now, it was evidence of my poor judgement and misplaced trust in the cheater.
07:42After smashing the last photo, I went back home and told the makeup artist to start.
07:49Guys, look at this place.
07:53Guys, look at this place.
07:55Look at her.
07:57There was no groom's procession coming from the Ashford family anymore.
08:01But tradition said, the bride still had to departure from her family house with her relatives and head to the
08:07moon bloom altar.
08:09I knew that, even though I'd asked Orion to save the ceremony at the altar, I'd have to play the
08:15part alone until I got there.
08:17No matter how hard it was, I was going to play this role wonderful today dot.
08:21But what I never expected happened.
08:23As we were getting ready to leave, the sound of lutes and ballads floated up from downstairs.
08:40Lydia!
08:41Groom is here!
08:43I quickly finished dressing and went downstairs.
08:54What the hell exclamation Orion Silvermoon and I were 4 years of competing in school.
09:013 years of fighting on the council.
09:03I'd known him for 7 years.
09:04I'd always known that behind his gentlemanly nobility facade, you should never be fooled by his handsome looks into messing
09:11with him dot.
09:12But right now, in this moment, I had no way back.
09:16Orion Silvermoon, what are you doing with this huge spectacle?
09:20I'm marrying you.
09:23I'm marrying you.
09:25Mark me.
09:38There you come, the loving pair.
09:43Orion's father, his grace the Duke of Silvermoon.
09:47I'd crossed paths with him, a few times on the council.
09:50But Orion's mother, I was meeting for the first time.
09:54Orion told me his future mate was exceptionally pretty, seeing now, truly stunning.
10:00Here you come, Lydia.
10:01No wonder our son chased his mate for so long.
10:04Don't you agree, Nolan?
10:06Orion chased for so long?
10:07What?
10:08Your grace.
10:09Excuse us.
10:13Off you go, young lovers.
10:15You...
10:16Didn't I tell you to just go straight to the Moonbloom altar?
10:18That's what I'm doing, picking up my bride and going.
10:21What?
10:21Mad?
10:22Hey, hey, Lydia Vouse.
10:24I told you.
10:25I'm fine with getting married, but I refuse to be a prop.
10:27You want to save face?
10:28Don't I?
10:29If I go straight to the altar and make my bride walk out of her own family home alone,
10:32what do you think people will say about me?
10:36I...
10:37Okay, I get it.
10:39How did you manage to arrange all this in just two hours?
10:42Compared to you, this is nothing.
10:45What?
10:46Nothing.
10:46My bride, shouldn't we get going?
10:48Any later, and we'll be cutting it close.
10:57The wolf pack honored strength.
11:00A bride leaving her family home had to be carried to the wedding car by her groom.
11:04But before today, I never would have imagined the one giving me this wedding lift would...
11:09Orion's silver move?
11:13In my memory, this guy had a venomous tongue.
11:16If words alone could kill, I'd have died a thousand times by his mouth.
11:21Back in school, summer camp was when girls' feelings grew.
11:25The heat, the outdoor bonding were perfect conditions for sweet romance.
11:30Back then, I sort of liked the tall, handsome school quarterback.
11:34Once, I was just about to successfully play the damsel in distress and get him to carry my water bottle...
11:42Orion Silvermoon said.
11:43Lydia Vant, did you break your hand?
11:45She's tired from the hike.
11:46That bottle is heavy.
11:47Let me carry it for her.
11:54Think you can carry it now?
11:55The scene was so awkward, the quarterback was pretty embarrassed too.
11:59He never talked to me again, and my sweet school romance died right there in its cradle.
12:04After that, he got even worse.
12:06He kept popping up out of nowhere to mess with me.
12:09Every chance I had to get close to a handsome guy, he ruined it.
12:12After graduation, I found a relationship, joined the council, and had both career and love.
12:18I thought I'd finally say goodbye to troublesome Orion, for good.
12:22But we ran right into each other again on the council.
12:25He was the next leader of the noble faction.
12:27I was the rising star from the commoner side.
12:30You're the one behind this?
12:30We were always on opposite sides of the chamber, fighting teeth and nail.
12:35And even now, in his arms, I felt cherished, seen, loved.
12:40Focus on me.
12:42No thinking about others, my bride.
12:47Can't wait to leave your mark on me, can you, my mate?
12:49You Orion's still a pest.
12:54Noon, the moon bloom altar.
12:56The ceremony began.
12:57Wasn't the groom supposed to be Ethan Ashford?
12:59This one is way all or grub the taller and way more handsome than Ethan Ashford.
13:03Lydia switched grooms at the last second?
13:05Wait, he's wearing silver moon noble crest?
13:07Juicy!
13:09I looked at the guests, about to explain.
13:12But Orion Silvermoon beat me to it.
13:20Dear families and friends.
13:22I am Orion Silvermoon, and I am Lydia Vounce's mate.
13:26Today, thank you all for coming to our wedding
13:28to witness how our love has finally found its way here.
13:31Orion's mouth.
13:31He really dared to say anything.
13:33After the wrong one is sent away,
13:35you will realize how precious the right one is.
13:37Beneath the moon bloom tree, with the moon goddess as our witness,
13:40Lydia and I finally become blessed mates.
13:43Oh, moon goddess.
13:45All these years, I thought Orion Silvermoon's tongue was just sharp.
13:49Turns out, it could also spin tails out of thin air.
13:52Good thing the Ashford's said they wouldn't come, and they really kept their word.
13:56Otherwise, this speech would have given them a stroke.
13:59I watched Orion weave those love stories I'd never even heard of.
14:04And suddenly felt when my biggest enemy's venom stopped spraying at me.
14:08And started spraying with me.
14:10I had something else.
14:11Yeah.
14:11This feels pretty good.
14:13Next, the ring exchange.
14:15The one I prepared was for Ethan's size exclamation.
14:19No.
14:20No, no, no.
14:24Whether they fit or not, Orion Silvermoon, you was going to have to put them on.
14:30This box wasn't the box for me.
14:32And Ethan's rings.
14:33Yeah.
14:36Is that the Silvermoon Eye?
14:38The heirloom of the Silvermoon family?
14:39It hasn't left the Silvermoon family in centuries.
14:42What a royal romance.
14:44A handsome, rich duke's heir.
14:45Ten times better than Ethan Ashfold.
14:47I wouldn't want Ethan either.
14:49He really is just a wrong one to skip.
14:50What's the real story behind the groom change?
14:52I feel like there's more to this.
14:54Eh, who cares?
14:54Just enjoy the show.
14:57Why does it fit perfectly?
14:59And now, Orion Silvermoon.
15:01Under the watch of the moon goddess.
15:04Beneath the moon bloom tree.
15:05In the presence and with the blessings of family and friends.
15:09I was about to turn my face away.
15:11When he leaned down.
15:16He leaned down and kissed me.
15:18My emotions were already all over the place.
15:20But after the ceremony, still not over.
15:22Some guests wanted to see our wedding house.
15:24What were we going to show them the wreckage I'd made in the house meant for me and my ex
15:28-jampion?
15:29No, no, no.
15:30Lydia Vance does not embarrass herself like that.
15:33This guy had lost his mind.
15:34Everyone, you're all welcome.
15:36Follow the wedding procession.
15:38Orion Silvermoon, the substitute groom, had already done more than perfectly.
15:42How could he possibly have had time to arrange the wedding house too?
15:45On the way there, I was worried sick.
15:47I wanted to blame him for agreeing to their request.
15:50But then I thought about it.
15:51To be fair, as a substitute groom today, he'd already done more than enough.
15:55More than good enough.
15:56But when we arrived, I realized I'd been wrong.
15:58The staff setting this up just left.
16:01From the entrance, to the villa, to the wedding room.
16:03Flawlessly arranged.
16:04And the craziest part, there were even wedding portraits.
16:07Judging by the bride in the photos.
16:08They were clearly the ones I'd taken with Ethan before.
16:11But the groom standing next to me in the pictures.
16:13That was Orion.
16:17After a full day of ceremonies, I was completely exhausted.
16:21After showering, I threw on my nightgown.
16:23Climbed onto that huge wedding bed without any pretense.
16:26And just collapsed.
16:27I couldn't even be bothered to move my toes.
16:34The wedding house arrangements here, how did you pull that off in such a short time?
16:37Money.
16:38All right, all right, you filthy rich guys.
16:42And the wedding portraits, how did you get those?
16:47What if I said Ethan sent them to me?
16:49Would you believe me?
16:51What?
16:54He sent them to you?
16:56Why would he do that?
16:57Guess.
17:00Fine, keep it yourself.
17:01He walked toward me.
17:03I quickly looked away.
17:04My throat felt dry.
17:07But I still said,
17:09I want to sleep alone for now.
17:14You mean separate rooms?
17:16Maybe it was because we'd been arched in enemies for so long.
17:19But I knew that to win against him, you didn't fight fire with fire.
17:23You picked your moments to soften.
17:24Three days.
17:25Three days.
17:26Could we-
17:27No.
17:29Don't burn the bridge after you've crossed it.
17:33Have some conscience.
17:38I stared at his back and suddenly felt like laughing.
17:41He didn't seem so hard to handle after all.
17:43But before I could finish feeling happy, I saw him go into the bathroom,
17:47come out quickly, and stride over to the big couch across the room.
17:51He lay down.
17:52I froze.
17:53Now Orion.
17:53Still, you passed.
17:58What are you doing?
18:00Didn't I say I wanted to sleep alone?
18:08Aren't you sleeping alone right now?
18:11I was so frustrated, I started laughing.
18:13I sat up angrily.
18:15I meant, I sleep alone in this room, and you go sleep in the guest room.
18:20No chance.
18:21You, Lydia Vance, care about face, don't I?
18:26I'm already having a hard time explaining this whole last-minute groom situation to my family.
18:31My parents, my whole family.
18:33They chose to trust me and went along with everything.
18:37And you want me to sleep in the guest room?
18:39What if they find out?
18:40What do I say then?
18:42What he said kind of made sense.
18:44But it's only three days.
18:52Orion saw my hesitation and guessed immediately.
18:57Lydia, I'm about to board.
18:58Two hours from now, come pick me up at the airport.
19:03Ethan Ashfield, have you lost your memory?
19:06Lydia, it's all my fault.
19:08I shouldn't have left you.
19:12I'm sorry, I even brought you a gift.
19:15Ethan Ashfield!
19:17I've already got married today.
19:23Come on, babe, stop being mad.
19:26Neither I nor anyone from my family was there.
19:28What wedding could you possibly have had?
19:31Yes.
19:32Neither you nor your family showed up.
19:34My family and I planned and executed the entire wedding.
19:37When you couldn't come, not once did you think about how to explain the postponement to the guests.
19:41Not once did you offer to handle it for me.
19:43One phone call, and you told me to postpone the wedding.
19:46But Ethan Ashfield, in this world, you are not the only man.
19:50What do you mean?
19:51Lydia, what the hell do you mean?
19:52Lydia Vance, answer me!
19:54Just then, Orion reached his hand out to me.
19:57I hesitated for a moment, and then gave him the phone.
20:01Maybe Orion and I had no future.
20:03But one thing was certain, I was never going back to Ethan Ashford.
20:08Answer what?
20:10Whoever you find to pick you up at this late hour is your business.
20:12But you do not get to order my mate around.
20:16You, Orion? You're Ion Silvermoon!
20:19Hey, address my name once is enough. I'm not your boss.
20:23Who's your mate? You bastard! Why do you have Lydia's phone?
20:27It's obviously Lydia my mate.
20:29Ethan, don't play dumb. You know exactly what you've been up to.
20:34Stop bothering my mate, or things won't end well for you.
20:37Lydia Vance, Orion Silvermoon, you two are cheating behind-
20:41Hey! Hey!
20:45Fuck.
20:46Orion hung up.
20:49But quickly, my phone rang again.
20:52Of course, Ethan Ashford again.
20:57This time, blocked and black.
21:05That night, I felt completely drained body and soul.
21:08But my mind was still wide awake.
21:11I thought I'd be up all night, but at some point, I drifted off.
21:19According to tradition, the day after becoming mates, I had to go back to visit my parents.
21:25Sigh.
21:26I didn't have any clean clothes to change into.
21:30Just when I was just going to wash up and head out, I noticed a set of clothes neatly folded
21:35on the couch.
21:36Everything was my size.
21:38Orion.
21:39He actually had such a considerate side.
21:42I showered.
21:43Changed.
21:44Did my makeup.
21:45And left the room.
21:55Orion was downstairs, wearing an apron, arranging plates on the table.
22:00He walked over and took my hand.
22:04Got all dressed up to go see your family?
22:06Come eat first.
22:07Then we'll go.
22:09How...
22:11How did you know that today?
22:13I just know.
22:15Lydia, everything about you.
22:16I know it all.
22:29In a daze, I let him lead me to the table and sit me down.
22:33This guy I'd always thought of as arrogant, untouchable.
22:36And my biggest rival.
22:37He actually had such a domestic side.
22:41Come eat first.
22:51I took a bite of breakfast.
22:53It was actually delicious.
22:56You made this?
22:58Yeah.
23:00If you like it, I'll make it more often.
23:03I can cook a lot of other dishes, too.
23:05Lydia, you can trust.
23:06Completely.
23:07In the days to come, I will take very good care of my mate.
23:10Suddenly, I didn't dare look into those deep eyes.
23:13I lowered my head and ate.
23:15After breakfast, since I didn't cook, I automatically started clearing the dishes.
23:19These hands of yours, they shouldn't be doing this.
23:22That's my job, Mrs. Silvermoon.
23:24Don't overstep.
23:30When I'd cook and clean up, Ethan would hug me from behind and say,
23:35I'm so lucky to have someone as capable as you.
23:38But Orion said, these hands of yours shouldn't be doing this.
23:42What are you thinking about?
23:45Nothing.
23:47My heart suddenly started racing.
23:49My face felt hot.
23:50I quickly tried to step back.
23:52But he reached out, wrapped an arm around my waist, and lowered his head, kissing my forehead.
23:58Just as I was internally struggling, my mom's phone call saved me from awkwardness.
24:03The Ashford's showed up at our door to cause trouble.
24:07Don't worry.
24:08Lydia and I will be right there.
24:14Your daughter has no shame.
24:18She's been messing around with another man behind my son's back this whole time!
24:29The shameless one is Ethan Ashford.
24:35You two bastard and sli-
24:38Silence!
24:40This is Vance family house.
24:44Your Vance family was in the wrong first.
24:47Can I even say a few words?
24:51On a wedding day,
24:53unless dead, you need crawl to the altar if you have to.
24:55Your precious son, Ethan Ashfield, went to be with another she-wolf.
24:58And now you say the Vance family is in the wrong?
25:00All of you, get out!
25:03I never expected that you wouldn't even offer a single apology.
25:06Instead, you-
25:07Get out!
25:10Fine, we'll go.
25:12But, that villa you promised them?
25:14You have to sell it and give us half.
25:16Why would we give you half?
25:18Because that was the agreement between our two families.
25:22Are you so money obsessed you've lost your mind?
25:25Why would we give half of the wedding house my family bought to your family?
25:28What is Ethan Ashford to us now?
25:31Our family said that after Lydia gets married, the villa can be registered in the young couple's name.
25:36But, our family's son-in-law is not Ethan Ashford.
25:41It's the Silvermoon family.
25:45Orion.
25:46Orion Silvermoon.
25:48Yes!
25:49My son-in-law's name is Orion Silvermoon, not Ethan Ashford!
25:59Fine, fine, fine.
26:02You cheated on my son, climbed up to a higher branch, and you're still so self-righteous about it?
26:09I'm going to expose this.
26:11I'll make sure everyone knows about your dirty secrets.
26:19With parents like you, no wonder you raised a cheating bastard like Ethan Ashfield.
26:25You'll regret this.
26:28We'll see.
26:30Wait!
26:33You'd better wait one minute.
26:35Now.
26:39For your precious son, take it home and have a good look.
26:42I've got plenty more of these.
26:44You're welcome to expose whatever you want.
26:46I'd love to see who ends up looking like the fool.
26:49What did you give them?
26:54I just thought Ashford couple were a bit snobbish.
26:57But Ethan Ashford is well-mannered, gentle, soft-spoken, and Lydda wouldn't be living with her in-laws anyway.
27:03So I didn't think much of it.
27:04But now that I think about it, thank the moon goddess Leah didn't marry into that family.
27:18Oh, my moon goddess.
27:26Silver Moon hereby shall convey these gifts to you all.
27:28We're family now. No need for gifts.
27:30I just heard you enjoy chess. We happen to have some antique chess sets at home.
27:34Ones that came from the palace in the old days.
27:36Better to let someone who appreciates them enjoy them than to let them gather dust in a corner.
27:39Palace chess sets?
27:40Yes. Grandfather, please take a look.
27:42The wood grain is exquisite. The pieces smooth to touch. Fine, archaic quality.
27:47This is too valuable. You should take it back.
27:48The Vance, the most precious treasure in family, has already married into my family.
27:52Grandfather, if you still accept me as your grandson-in-law, please do accept this small gift.
27:56The other box contained fine black tea, which my dad loved. An antique necklace.
28:01Perfect for my mom's collection hobby. And gifts for uncle and cousins.
28:07Then I watched Orion play chess with Grandfather.
28:10Evenly matched and eventually, tactically losing subtly to Grandfather.
28:16Then he drank tea with my dad, speaking with impressive knowledge.
28:20What a coincidence. I like this actor too. You know, he and I, as well as Lydia, we actually went
28:25to the same academy.
28:27Whoa, really?
28:29Lydia, Ori is good. You two live well together.
28:33Yes. Listen to your grandfather. Come back for dinner often. I'll cook for you myself.
28:38Mom.
28:39Listen to your mother.
28:47Tired?
28:48I'm okay.
28:53Orion!
28:53Hmm?
28:54Didn't he think this was too intimate? Even though we were already mated, before this, we were arch enemies.
29:00Why so quiet?
29:01Why did you agree to marry me?
29:04Why would I say no? You're beautiful, smart, and capable. Plus, marrying you means I have one less formidable opponent.
29:10Don't even think about it. We're not going to let this affect our debates on the council.
29:13We will see.
29:14He chuckled. I didn't understand what he meant.
29:20Lydia! That historic building maintenance proposal, the one we've been fighting over for three months!
29:24The noble representatives have finally relented! They're willing to come to the table for negotiations!
29:28Really? Goddess knew what got into them. The elders and guard is still worried about noble assets and won't fully
29:33budge.
29:34But Mr. Silverville convinced them to at least sit down and talk.
29:38Who knew the new leader of the noble faction would suddenly be so cooperative?
29:41Is it because he just got married and good fortune is spreading to our stalled proposal?
29:45Whoever she is, let's all thank this mysterious Mrs. Silvermoon. Our dead-boxed work finally has hope!
29:49You didn't know that you had not only met Mrs. Silvermoon, but that Mrs. Silvermoon was standing right in front
29:54of you.
29:55Mrs. Vance? What's wrong? Aren't you happy?
29:59Nothing. Go for your work.
30:02Why the sudden concession on the deadlock proposal?
30:04It's not a concession. It's allowing both sides to negotiate better.
30:07Usually, you would have fought me to the ground on this.
30:09You were someone else's partner. Now you're my mate. Why would I fight against my own mate?
30:13And, I'm here to pick you up from work, my mate.
30:18Before bed, while I was in the bathroom putting on a face mask, an unknown number called me.
30:24I got calls and you didn't tell me?
30:27Out there.
30:33How does he know this place?
30:35With that many people at the wedding, there's always one or two who like to stir up trouble.
30:39Wanna go out?
30:42You sure about this?
30:43Yeah.
30:45One last time.
30:51Lydia, you've finally come to talk to me-
31:00Lydia, I need to talk to you. He can't be here!
31:11An outsider like Sylvia can be here.
31:14But my mate can't.
31:16Mate?
31:18So you were hooking up behind my back all along.
31:22Lydia Vance, you're nothing but a bi-
31:30This is the last time, Ethan Ashford.
31:33Stop pretending.
31:34The moment you slept with Sylvia, you knew this was coming.
31:39You knew?
31:42You promised me you wouldn't let her find out!
31:45Sylvia stayed silent, but the corner of her mouth curled into a bitter, sad smile.
31:49Suddenly, I didn't hate her anymore, because she was not only hateful but also pitiful.
31:53Let's make it no more troubles.
31:55From now on, you go your way, I'll go mine.
32:08Orion Silvermoon, you finally stole your long time dream girl! Feeling proud of yourself?
32:13What?
32:20Who's your long time dream girl?
32:23It's you. My love. My mate. My Mrs. Silvermoon.
32:32Orion loves me. This was unbelievable. And how did Ethan know?
32:36Back in the room, I kept pressing him for answers.
32:42The year we graduated, Ethan picked my lost wallet.
32:45Inside was a photo of you.
32:48That's when he figured out I liked you.
32:50After graduation, you got together with him.
32:53When you took your wedding photos, he sent them to me.
32:56Now you can finally give up.
32:58After Orion finished, he lay down on the couch and stared at me, without saying another word.
33:02The room was quiet for a long time.
33:05But haven't we always been arch enemies?
33:09Who wanted to be your arch enemy?
33:12What?
33:14Nothing. I just love you. That's all there is to it.
33:21His ears were red.
33:23I'd never seen anything like it. I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
33:27Orion Silvermoon?
33:29Are you blushing?
33:31Tell me honestly.
33:32Ullen of the greatest joys in life, seeing your arch enemy with red ears.
33:37You... you're so heavy! Get off!
33:40Laugh one more time, and I'm sleeping in the bed with you tonight.
33:44I swallowed hard. I didn't dare breathe.
33:47The next second, Orion Silvermoon let go of me.
33:50I immediately jumped off the couch and fled back to the bed, pulling the covers over my head.
33:54My heart was pounding. The biggest enemy of my life for the past seven years.
33:58Has... actually liked me this whole time.
34:10It's still early. Sleep more.
34:12I'll leave breakfast for you. Just eat and head straight to your field work.
34:14Hmm.
34:15I drifted back to sleep, still half conscious.
34:18When I woke up again, a long time had passed.
34:21I went downstairs.
34:27But unfortunately, that afternoon, when I was doing an on-site survey with the Municipal Liaison Yara,
34:33at an old manor that was under renovation, a falling stone hit my head.
34:37There was a lot of blood.
34:41I was rushed to the hospital immediately. Severe concussion.
34:45The doctor admitted me for observation.
34:47When Orion arrived, his face was calm but worried.
34:49Only after he'd spoken with the doctor and understood the situation,
34:52did his expression finally relax.
34:54The few days I stayed for observation, everything I ate, drank, and used.
34:58He arranged personally. A man I'd always thought of as arrogant and rough.
35:02I never expected he could be so patient and gentle when taking care of someone.
35:06Finally, I was cleared to leave.
35:07Orion had some business to handle.
35:09His mother, the Duchess of Silvermoon, came to visit.
35:12The Duchess was very gentle.
35:13After asking about my injuries, she set down her gift and sat beside me.
35:17There's something I've been wanting to tell you.
35:19I am listening.
35:21Lydia, do you know why Orion chose that academy you both took back then?
35:24Do you remember the Moon Bloom Festival students camped seven years ago?
35:29You gave a speech representing the Shadowmoon One Pax Youth Group.
35:35The heir to the Silvermoon family, according to tradition, should have gone to some prestigious academy for nobles only.
35:41But that year, he refused.
35:44He insisted on going to that newly opened public academy instead.
35:47Later, later I found out he'd seen a girl during an inter-school event.
35:50Just that one time and he'd already lost his heart.
35:53He told me that day, standing there.
35:56The moonlight on you shone straight into his heart.
36:09The girl Orion liked seven years ago?
36:13Me?
36:16The day before you got married, Orion cried to me that the girl he liked was about to marry someone
36:23else.
36:25That night I was worried so I went to check on him.
36:28I saw his computer screen, full of wedding photos.
36:31I thought the girl in those photos must be the one he loves.
36:34Such a shame she was about to belong to someone else.
36:38Then, unexpectedly, early the next morning, he suddenly called me and said he was getting married.
36:45And then?
36:48I was so confused.
36:51I thought he'd lost his mind.
36:56Who are you marrying?
36:58The one I love.
37:01The undisguised joy in his voice told me it was real.
37:04He told us not to ask too many questions.
37:07Teen, time was urgent.
37:09Just follow his arrangements and be ready.
37:12My son hadn't cried since he was five years old.
37:15But that night when I went to see him, he was drinking and crying at the same time.
37:21Lydia, I begs you, please cherish him well.
37:24Because he really, really loves you.
37:31Yes.
37:33Mother, what are you telling Lydia?
37:35Embarrassed, Orion?
37:36Love should be spoken out loud.
37:40Mom, don't stir up trouble.
37:42I can take care of my own person.
37:43You go, Weish.
37:44We're leaving.
37:45On the way, I kept turning to look at him.
37:48I was trying to imagine him crying.
37:56Lydia, if you've taken the wrong pills, just say so.
37:59We can go back to the hospital for a stomach pump.
38:01It's not too late.
38:06Is it really okay to be so sharp-tongued with an injured patient?
38:09And it's okay for you to look at your mate like he's an idiot?
38:14Come clean.
38:16And I'll make you something good to eat today.
38:19What if I don't?
38:24Then, I'll still have to make you something good.
38:28See?
38:29There you go.
38:33At night, when it was almost time to sleep, Orion Silvermoon paced and hesitated by the bed.
38:38According to his original promise, he'd given me three days of sleeping alone.
38:41Now, he thought it was time to come back to the nest.
38:44To be honest, if I didn't know that he liked me, I might still have tried to stall.
38:47But, how should I put it?
38:48A rich, handsome guy.
38:50Powerful.
38:50And completely devoted to his mate.
38:52Secretly in love with me for years.
38:54There probably aren't many men like that in the world.
38:56Right?
38:57Maybe I should give it a try.
39:00You're not gonna roll over and hit my head in the middle of the night, are you?
39:04How could that happen?
39:05I sleep very peacefully.
39:07I never move around.
39:10Then, come and sleep.
39:12Okay.
39:14Don't worry.
39:15I won't touch your wound.
39:17That will do.
39:22Goodnight, my love.
39:24Well, that was unexpected.
39:28I stayed home recovering for a few more days.
39:33During this time, aside from occasionally going out, Orion Silvermoon spent most of his time at home with me.
39:40Three meals a day he made them all himself, never complaining.
39:43Dot also.
39:44I got along very well with Orion's mother.
39:47Actually, the person who got along best with the Duchess was my mom.
39:56The Duchess and I made plans for afternoon tea.
40:00Orion's mom and I are getting manis.
40:05Myr and I booked a trip together.
40:23One morning, while he was cooking, I quietly came up behind him and hugged him.
40:28Orion Silvermoon, are you trying to spoil me until I can't do the house works anymore?
40:33Like you were doing any of these daily chores before I showed up?
40:37That was true.
40:39But, after eating my cooking and experiencing my care, from now on, without me, no matter how rich you are,
40:46you'll never find anyone who takes care of you with such attention to detail.
40:50I'm gonna make you so spoiled that you'll see how could you live without me.
40:54Then what if you change your heart in the future and leave me?
40:58Won't I be in a terrible position?
41:02Change my heart?
41:03I survived seven years of unrequited love.
41:05Now that I've finally got you in my jaws, why would I let go?
41:07Don't even think about it, Mrs. Silvermoon.
41:09You're not getting away.
41:10Oh?
41:10Is that so?
41:12Then, maybe, I'll take one gamble.
41:15Gamble on a love story to happily ever after.
41:20So that day when you called me and asked me to be the groom, do you know what that felt
41:24like for me?
41:26What did it feel like?
41:27Like waiting seven years for the moon, and it finally fell into my arms.
41:33Even if it was fake, I wanted to hold onto it.
41:36Orion.
41:37Yeah?
41:38Now it's turned from fake to real, and I love you too, Orion.
41:43Thank you for loving me all this time, and...
41:48I love you too, Orion.
42:00Lydia, once you say that, you can't take it back.
42:05I don't plan to.
42:14Do you know how long I've waited to hear those words?
42:29Mrs. Silvermoon.
42:30Hmm?
42:31Now you're really my mate.
42:32If you argue with me on the council from now on, that means you're the one bullying me.
42:36So will you let me win or not?
42:38No.
42:39But when we get home, I can make it up to you.
42:40Who needs you to make it up to me?
42:43You.
42:44For the rest of my life, I'm gonna make it up to you.
42:49Senator Silvermoon, your proposal is just defending noble privileges.
42:53You haven't considered the interests of ordinary citizens at all.
42:56Senator Vance, I hear your criticism, but your alternative plan has a budget short lay of 30%.
43:02Are you asking me to negotiate with thin air?
43:04Didn't they get married?
43:06Yeah, married just last month.
43:07Then why are they still fighting like this?
43:09Who knows?
43:10Maybe this is just how they express their love?
43:15Fight with me at home?
43:17Who wants to fight with you?
43:19Senator Vance?
43:21Mrs. Silverwood?
43:23You two?
43:23At work?
43:24Call me Senator Vance.
43:25Privately call her Mrs. Silverwood.
43:27You shut up!
43:28Yes, my mate.
