Short filmTranscript
00:00In my previous life, my husband Lucius was unfaithful to me.
00:03I saw my sister Mia and my husband making out in our bed.
00:07Only then did I know they had betrayed me long ago.
00:12Lucius flew into a rage and pierced my throat with my own sword.
00:18Mia and I are true loves.
00:21You tore us apart.
00:23This is all that you deserve.
00:25Before I died, I thought back on my life.
00:28On the day my sister and I came of age, a decree came down from the temple.
00:32The war god Nestor had fallen into a coma during battle and needed the help of Zeus' daughter to revive
00:38him.
00:38So my dad decided that Mia and I would draw lots to decide our fates.
00:43One would marry Lucius, the future king of the gods.
00:46One would marry Nestor to awaken the comatose war god.
00:51In my past life, I drew Lucius.
00:55But after he ascended to the throne of the king of the gods,
00:58the first thing he did was to slaughter my entire family.
01:01The second before darkness consumed me, the oracle's voice echoed.
01:05My marriage will decide the fate of Olympus.
01:08Then I opened my eyes.
01:09I found myself standing in my dad's palace.
01:12I had actually been reborn.
01:14I went back to the day when I drew lots with Mia.
01:16Mia stood beside me.
01:18My dad held out the drawing bowl to me.
01:20Victoria, you draw first.
01:24I use my divine power to crush the lottery slip directly.
01:31There is no need for a lottery to determine it.
01:34There is no need for a lottery to determine it.
01:37My voice echoed through the great hall.
01:41I will go to the temple of war.
01:43I will marry Nestor.
01:46Since Victoria is willingly going to the temple of war,
01:50then I dared to ask for your blessing for Mia and me.
01:53Dad slapped his hand on the throne.
01:55The agreement was that you would marry my daughter, Victoria!
01:59Dad had always known I loved Lucius.
02:01So he gave Lucius everything, hoping he would marry me
02:04and inherit the position of king of the gods.
02:06In my past life, Dad was imprisoned by him
02:09and in the end, he killed Dad with his own hands.
02:11That was his way.
02:12To take revenge on my father for blocking his marriage to Mia back then.
02:16I stepped forward and pressed his hand, shaking my head.
02:19Dad.
02:20Now Lucius was the most dazzling god in all Olympus.
02:23Without absolute certainty, I couldn't confront him directly.
02:26Lucius smiled.
02:28Zeus, I have become stronger than when I was young.
02:31Some promises expired long ago.
02:33He looked at me, his eyes full of disdain.
02:35What, Princess Victoria?
02:37Was everything you just said, just to get my attention?
02:40I dug my nails into my palm.
02:44Lucius.
02:44I looked into his eyes.
02:46Don't worry.
02:47I will go to the temple of war.
02:50He paused for a moment, then let out a cold laugh.
02:53Huh.
02:54You'd better actually go.
02:56Don't let me find out this is one of your tricks.
02:59Lucius stared at me for a long while.
03:01Then he took Mia's hand and left.
03:05Zeus gripped my sleeve, looking somewhat guilty.
03:08Your dad has wronged you.
03:11I know you've always loved Lucius.
03:15I never expected him to choose Mia.
03:18I knew what he was afraid of.
03:19He was afraid I'd go to the temple of war and become a widow.
03:23Afraid that if I left, I'd never return.
03:27Dad, don't worry.
03:29In my past life, Lucius killed Dad, slaughtered the rest of my family.
03:33The look of disgust Lucius gave me before I died was all burned into my mind.
03:37Marrying Nestor still left a sliver of hope.
03:40Marrying Lucius was truly walking into eternal damnation.
03:44I went to the treasury hall of Olympus.
03:47As soon as I entered, I made straight for the ruby necklace.
03:50It was a keepsake left to me by my mother, her wedding blessing to me.
03:54I was about to reach for it when the chatter of several goddesses nearby drifted into my ears.
03:59Lucius is so good to Mia.
04:02I heard he spent a...
04:03...was unwilling to give me one.
04:04So it wasn't that he was unwilling to part with it.
04:06It was that he didn't think I deserved nice things.
04:09I reached for the gemstone necklace.
04:11A hand suddenly reached over and snatched it away.
04:15I want this one.
04:16Mia's voice sounded above me.
04:18I looked up.
04:19Lucius was standing right behind her.
04:21I quickly grabbed the other end of the necklace.
04:25This is a gift my mother left for me.
04:29Lucius' gaze fell on my hand.
04:31He certainly recognized this necklace.
04:34Back when he hoped Zeus would grant him greater authority,
04:38He had once held my hand in his and sworn before the gods
04:41that on our wedding day, he would personally put this necklace on me.
04:47Lucius, this necklace matches my dress perfectly.
04:51I want this one.
04:52Lucius put his arm around Mia.
04:53Whatever you want, I will give you.
04:56Then he turned to the attendant and said,
04:58Wrap it up.
04:59Whatever the price, we'll pay.
05:02Lucius!
05:02My voice trembled.
05:03This necklace represents my mother's blessing to me.
05:06How can you just take it away like this?
05:08Victoria.
05:10It's just a necklace.
05:11There's no need for you to cling to it.
05:14What, are you still dreaming of marrying me?
05:16Mia reached for it again.
05:18I didn't let go.
05:21Mia yanged and cried.
05:24The necklace broke.
05:27Gems scattered all over the floor.
05:31Oh dear, it's so fragile.
05:34Mia let out a mocking laugh.
05:36It's just a necklace.
05:37I accidentally broke it.
05:40Victoria, you don't mind, do you?
05:43I knelt on the grounds, picking up the gems one by one.
05:47Lucius surveyed the mess on the floor.
05:49He pulled a pouch of gold coins from his pocket
05:52and tossed it beside me.
05:57I'll pay for it.
05:58No matter how sad you are, it's useless.
06:02Let me tell you,
06:03my heart has always belonged only to Mia.
06:06Mia leaned into his arms and let out a laugh.
06:08I watched their figures entwined
06:11and suddenly remembered my past life.
06:13After Mia married Nestor,
06:15Nestor still did not wake up.
06:17Rumors spread all across the divine realm,
06:19deeming Mia an ill-omened woman.
06:22If I had been the one to go,
06:24perhaps it would have been different.
06:26Every time Lucius heard those words,
06:29his face would turn dark.
06:30He placed all that resentment on me.
06:33I was the one who had stolen the luck
06:35that should have belonged to Mia.
06:36Until the day he ascended to the throne
06:38of the king of the gods,
06:39I watched with my own eyes
06:41as he ordered my entire family
06:43bound to the altar.
06:45Blood everywhere.
06:47Mia suffered so much at the Temple of War.
06:50He smiled and said,
06:51You owe her this.
06:53Time to pay up.
06:55It was the drawing of lots
06:56that decided our fates.
06:58Yet he settled the score with my entire family.
07:01After picking up the damaged necklace,
07:03I let out a self-mocking smile,
07:06raised my eyes to meet his.
07:09Lucius, you think far too highly of yourself.
07:11The war.
07:13Lucius' pupils contracted sharply.
07:15The expression on his face instantly froze.
07:18He instinctively stepped forward,
07:20but Mia quickly hooked her arm through his.
07:22Lucius, we still have to go look at the wedding robes.
07:25Lucius took Mia's hand and left.
07:28I watched their retreating figures,
07:30my gaze icy cold.
07:31Lucius, you must remember this forever.
07:34You wronged me first.
07:35The day before the wedding,
07:37my father summoned me to the temple.
07:40Are you truly gonna marry Nestor?
07:42I did not explain.
07:44My mind is made up.
07:45As I stepped out of the temple,
07:47a familiar figure stood by the pool.
07:49Mia had clearly been waiting for quite some time.
07:51I did not want to engage with her,
07:54but she blocked my path and gripped my wrist tightly.
07:57You're getting married tomorrow.
07:59Don't go coveting another woman's ruin.
08:01I looked at her, finding it ridiculous.
08:04What do you rave?
08:06What are you afraid of?
08:08Afraid I'll take Lucius away?
08:10Mia's expression changed drastically.
08:14Shut up!
08:15She suddenly grabbed my sleeve.
08:16Let me tell you,
08:18Lucius is mine!
08:19You just marry over there
08:21and dutifully tend to that comatose husband of yours.
08:25That goes.
08:26I shook her off,
08:27not using much force,
08:28but I saw her suddenly stumble and fall back.
08:31Lucius rushed over from somewhere unknown,
08:34barely catching her body before I keep the ground.
08:36Mia immediately clutched his robes in bed.
08:39I only wanted to congratulate Victoria on her wedding.
08:43I don't know why she pushed me.
08:46Victoria, you are so vicious.
08:49She has suffered so much because of you all along.
08:52And now you still want to harm her.
08:54Before I could even open my mouth to explain,
08:57a sharp pain shot through my chest.
08:59He actually pushed me for recognition.
09:05The whole body trembled,
09:07yet I still forced myself to speak.
09:10The future king of the gods
09:12can't even see through such a cheap trick.
09:17He looked down at me from above.
09:18So what if I see through it?
09:20This is what you owe, Mia.
09:22You must pay it back.
09:24I looked at Lucius
09:26and suddenly felt the pool water wasn't so cold after all.
09:29After all, the most bone-chilling cold,
09:31I had already tasted it for over 20 years.
09:34Don't worry.
09:36Tomorrow I will marry Nestor.
09:38From now on,
09:40you and I have no connection.
09:43The second before I turned to him.
09:45Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you.
09:47I glanced back at him.
09:49The Oracle said my marriage would decide the fate of Olympus.
09:52You just personally handed the power
09:54to decide your life and death
09:56to your worst enemy.
09:57Lucius seemed not to have expected me
10:00to be so resolute.
10:01Victoria.
10:02He suddenly stepped forward
10:03and grabbed my wrist.
10:04The force was so strong it hurt.
10:06I distinctly saw a flicker of panic in his eyes.
10:10Do you really think marrying Nestor
10:12is something good?
10:13He's been in a coma for so long.
10:15What makes you think you can wake him?
10:18When you're trapped in that lifeless palace,
10:20you'll be mocked by all of Olympian.
10:22He released my wrist,
10:24took a step back,
10:25as if appraising an object.
10:27But I'll give you another option.
10:29His voice carried arrogance.
10:30Be my mistress.
10:33How about it?
10:35It's much better than going to the Temple of War
10:37to watch over a living corpse, isn't it?
10:39No.
10:39I'm giving you a chance.
10:42Tomorrow night,
10:43I will send someone to get you.
10:46Take you away from here.
10:47I watched Lucius' figure walk away,
10:49finding him utterly ridiculous.
10:51I would rather gamble on that 1 in 10,000 chance
10:54than be his mistress.
10:55On the day of the wedding,
10:57Lucius, dressed in a white robe,
10:59stood before the temple to welcome the bride.
11:01But when he saw two wedding carriages,
11:03he suddenly lost his composure.
11:07Why are there two wedding carriages?
11:09Before the attendant could answer,
11:11from a distance came wedding songs,
11:13even louder,
11:14more magnificent than the display at Lucius' side.
11:17There,
11:18a grand procession of a wedding party approached,
11:20stepping upon olive branches.
11:22He saw me dressed in a white robe,
11:24wearing a golden crown.
11:27Lucius could not believe it.
11:28Victoria!
11:30That is Princess Victoria!
11:32The people from the Temple of War said
11:34they would welcome her with the highest honors
11:37and would never let Victoria
11:39doubt from the sixth honors
11:40and would never let Victoria
11:42suffer the slightest grievance.
11:44Wedding carriage stopped before me.
11:50The attendant helped me step into the carriage.
11:54Impossible!
11:55How dare she!
11:57Lucius thought I would regret it.
11:59He thought last night's threats
12:01would make me afraid,
12:02would make me obediently wait for him
12:04to come rescue me.
12:05He thought I had no other path to take,
12:07but he was wrong.
12:11The procession from the Temple of War
12:13departed in grandeur.
12:14I was led to Nestor's chambers.
12:15Torches were lit all around the bed.
12:18In the flickering firelight,
12:19the face of Nestor,
12:20the god of war,
12:21could be seen dimly.
12:23His complexion was as pale as paper,
12:25his lips devoid of color,
12:27yet still handsome and commanding.
12:29Your Highness.
12:30Rumors said he was invincible in battle,
12:32but in one campaign he was betrayed,
12:35but in one campaign he was betrayed,
12:35struck by a curse's poison,
12:37and had slept without waking up ever since.
12:40The steward said in a low voice,
12:42The wedding ritual is ready.
12:44Are you certain?
12:45I nodded,
12:46walked to the bedside,
12:47holding a ribbon in my hand.
12:49The bride would tie the ribbon
12:50around the groom's wrist,
12:52symbolizing their fates were now bound.
12:54I pressed my lips gently to his.
12:56His lips were cold,
12:57without a trace of warmth.
12:59I felt it.
13:01His lips were moving.
13:03I opened my eyes
13:04and met Nestor's gaze.
13:09He's awake!
13:11The steward ran out excitedly
13:13to share the news with everyone.
13:15Nestor looked at me, dazed.
13:17Who are you?
13:18Your wife.
13:21Victoria.
13:22Daughter of Zeus.
13:24He stared at me for a long while.
13:26It was you who woke me up?
13:29I nodded.
13:30He did not speak again,
13:32but simply took my hand.
13:34News of Nestor's awakening
13:35spread quickly across all of Olympus.
13:40Victoria woke him up!
13:41The oracle was right.
13:44Victoria can bring miracles.
13:47It was being discussed everywhere.
13:50Lucius listened to the news
13:51brought by the attendant
13:52and was very angry.
13:54This is impossible.
13:56He threw his goblet to the ground,
13:58shards scattering everywhere.
14:06How could she?
14:07What right does she have?
14:09Mia stood in the corner,
14:10her nails digging into her palms.
14:12She thought I would live a life
14:14worse than death.
14:18Lucius.
14:19Victoria is truly luckier than me.
14:21But it's alright.
14:23Having you is enough for me.
14:25Lucius looked down at her,
14:26the ferocity in his eyes
14:28slowly dissipating.
14:29Don't worry.
14:30He took her hand.
14:34So what if Nestor is awake?
14:36He woke up
14:37and I could make him fall down again.
14:39At the temple of war,
14:41Nestor's condition was slowly improving.
14:44He spoke little,
14:45remaining silent most of the time.
14:47But every time I entered the room,
14:49his gaze would follow me.
14:51One evening, he suddenly asked,
14:53Why were you willing to marry me?
14:55I didn't hold back
14:56and told him about Lucius
14:57for my family.
15:00Lucius.
15:01I have heard of him.
15:04But he will not be proud for long.
15:07He turned his head,
15:08looking out the window
15:09at the darkening sky.
15:10He suddenly called my name.
15:12Victoria.
15:13His voice low,
15:14very serious.
15:15You chose me.
15:19I will not make you regret it.
15:25News of Nestor's awakening
15:26spread across all of Olympus.
15:29Everyone thought
15:29that the successor
15:30to the Lord of the Gods
15:31might be changing.
15:34Lucius could not sit still.
15:36He sent men time and again
15:37to spy on the temple of war.
15:40But each time,
15:42they were turned away
15:42by Nestor's guards.
15:45Mia knew that
15:47if she did not help Lucius,
15:49she might never become
15:51a goddess of higher standing
15:52than me.
15:55Under the cover of night,
15:57Mia summoned her trusted attendant,
15:59pressing into her hands
16:00a secret letter
16:01and a heavy pouch of gold.
16:03I'm going to make sure
16:04everyone hears this rumour.
16:06I'm going to make Victoria
16:08the laughingstock of everyone.
16:10The contents of the letter
16:11were utterly venomous.
16:12It falsely claimed
16:13that after awakening,
16:15Nestor had grown violent
16:16in nature,
16:17was secretly stockpiling
16:18weapons in the temple
16:19and intended to murder Zeus.
16:21It also slandered me,
16:23saying I had seduced
16:24the God of War
16:24and that if I were not killed,
16:26I would surely bring
16:27disaster upon Olympus.
16:29To make the lie come true,
16:31Mia devised another ricket scheme.
16:33She asked the attendant
16:34to find a way
16:35to sneak into our kitchen
16:37and add mind-altering drugs
16:39to the water I drink
16:41every day.
16:41This herb was a rare
16:43hallucinogenic plant.
16:45Even a small dose
16:47would cause confusion
16:48and erratic behaviour.
16:50As long as I acted mad in public,
16:54others would surely believe
16:55the contents of the letter.
16:57Not only would my life be in danger,
16:59but Nestor would also be held accountable.
17:02But what she never expected
17:03was that Nestor
17:05had already anticipated
17:06someone would try to frame us.
17:08Ever since Nestor awoke,
17:10he had ordered
17:11the temple's defences strengthened.
17:13The attendant just poured
17:14the powder of the bewitching herb
17:16into my water cup.
17:17She was immediately
17:18apprehended by the guards.
17:21Nestor personally
17:22oversaw the interrogation.
17:25Who instructed you
17:26to poison my wife?
17:28The attendant was timid
17:30by nature.
17:30She tearfully confessed
17:32the truth.
17:37It's Mia!
17:38She revealed everything
17:40about how Mia
17:41had orchestrated the plot
17:42and also handed over
17:44the gold coins
17:44Mia had given her.
17:46A few days later,
17:47Dad hosted a banquet.
17:48I sat beside Nestor,
17:50quietly drinking the wine
17:51in my cup.
17:52Across from me,
17:52a few goddesses
17:53were whispering among themselves.
17:56I didn't look up.
17:58Mia's tactics
17:58had always been the same.
18:00But Nestor cared
18:02and he wanted to step in
18:03and save me.
18:04What are you saying?
18:05The goddess's faces
18:06went pale,
18:07none daring to speak.
18:10Nestor stood,
18:11his gaze sweeping
18:12over everyone.
18:14Victoria is my wife.
18:17She is the daughter of Zeus
18:18and is a god
18:19who brings good luck.
18:20If anyone were to
18:21slander her again,
18:22it would be challenging me.
18:25Then he clapped his hands.
18:26The temple doors opened
18:28and a servant was escorted in.
18:32Say the facts
18:33that you know.
18:35The attendant revealed the truth.
18:38Everyone's gaze turned to Mia.
18:41No.
18:42It wasn't me.
18:45Someone is framing me.
18:47Nestor glanced at him.
18:49Then he turned to Zeus.
18:51Mia framed my wife,
18:53poisoning your daughter.
18:57What punishment does she deserve?
18:59What punishment does she deserve?
18:59What punishment does she deserve?
