07:59cold night air rowan your mother is trying to tear us apart this was all her plan please listen he
08:06remained silent for a very long time finally he spoke with a voice like ice my mother has always

08:19way
08:19he never said another word to me again i knew that he chose to believe her the next morning
08:24rowan wasn't waiting for me he didn't show up at the village entrance i rushed to the square to
08:29explain everything but everyone was already staring at me the young spartan warriors looked at me
08:35with smirks a red-haired warrior stepped in my way he pulled at my shoulder strap and laughed
08:40play again sometime babe the brothers had so much fun last time he threw a stone tablet at my feet
08:47it was a shameful drawing of me from last night the villagers looked at me like i was trash
08:52rowan stood in the crowd silent and cold i grabbed a stone and hit the warrior's head
08:58you are lying i will tell the elders blood ran down his face as he glared at me stop acting
09:04innocent
09:06you weren't like this last night what you don't recognize us anymore i tried to scream but rowan
09:13stepped forward he grabbed my arm with a tight grip that's enough and you stop making a scene
09:19i looked at him in total disbelief making a scene he is the one insulting me
09:28am i supposed to just let him ruin my name rowan's eyes were cold and full of disappointment
09:34if you hadn't put yourself there no one could insult you
09:38i froze as his words pierced my heart i realized then that i never truly knew him
09:44i swung my hand and slapped him hard a red mark appeared on rowan's pale face
09:48are you still trying to act innocent ania he slowly let go of my arm and spoke quietly
09:54my mother was there my uncles were there are they all lying are you the only honest one
09:58his words confirmed my guilt to the entire village
10:03suddenly i was the one who was wrong everyone turned against me from that day on
10:08they threw trash at my house and cursed me they drew insults on my clothes while i worked
10:14i kept my head down and worked in silence on cold nights i whispered to myself
10:20just pass the trials and leave this village
10:25and everything will finally be okay rowan's mother was still acting kind to me her fake
10:32kindness hurt more than her direct cruelty i felt a deep disgust every time i saw her
10:36ania why are you ignoring poor rowan lately he is so depressed he even stopped his training
10:44i forced myself to look into her cold eyes we are over stop targeting me like this
10:50she just smiled and stepped a little closer breaking up is nothing
10:54he still loves you then her voice turned into a sharp threat he can't let go of his feelings for
11:00you i will make him watch you fall apart i will watch you sink into the dirt myself
11:09until he loses all hope and marries a noble
11:15her threats and the village's bullying were too much
11:18i felt like i was finally breaking down
11:22my parents noticed that something was very wrong they wanted to talk to me about the rumors
11:27but before they could speak someone knocked it was rowan's mother at our front door
11:32she said she came to borrow some grain my father went to the storage room to help

11:50feeling grew inside my chest i ran back home as soon as i finished a large crowd was standing outside

14:45eyes
14:45she pressed a piece of parchment into my hand your mother was holding this it is the last message from
14:51your father my hand shook violently as i opened the letter my father wrote that he was framed it was
14:58all a trap by rowan's mother she lured my father in and let everyone watch she wanted to destroy my
15:06entire family my father couldn't bear the shame he couldn't stand being called a criminal he hated the
15:14stairs and the elders insults he didn't want to ruin my trial either he thought i was already safe inside
15:20the gates that's why he chose to jump that morning tears blurred the ink on the parchment i couldn't
15:27even see the words anymore i struggled out of bed and grabbed a stick i limped back to the ruins
15:32of my
15:33home then i went to rowan's home and banged on the door i just wanted to look them in the
15:39eye i wanted
15:40to ask them one question why why did you have to destroy everything i knocked until my knuckles
15:50bled on wood no one came to the door a neighbor stuck his head out to watch me are you
15:54looking
15:54for rowan he and his mother moved back to the city they left in grand carriages very fancy i stood
16:00there
16:00in the silence of the street and then i began to laugh the sound was loud hollow and desperate they
16:05ruined my life and burned my world then they just walked away like nothing happened i wanted them to
16:11pay for what they did but my parents needed a proper burial the medical bills were crushing my soul
16:15i was barely holding on to my own life i found a job selling herbs at the market it was
16:20hard work
16:21with only one arm but the labor kept my mind busy it helped me forget the burning hatred
16:28then one day i saw him at the corner the rumors said his mother had won he was no longer
16:33a lowly
16:34bastard he was a noble son and a true heir he wore a robe of pure white linen there wasn't
16:40a single
16:41wrinkle on it noble maids followed his every step and then there was me covered in dirt i was stained
16:47with the juice of bitter herbs i had learned to hide my broken pieces i had learned how to simply
16:53survive the herbal medicine was wearing off i forced myself to get out of bed a sharp
16:59tearing pain hit my stomach it was so intense i could barely stand
17:05i leaned against the wall with my one hand step by step i moved toward the door my legs gave
17:10out and
17:11i slid to the floor someone was suddenly standing over me i looked up into his face it was rowan
17:18he had actually come back he held a piece of parchment in his hand his voice trembling
17:25about back then it was a copy of his mother's own words i know everything now
17:30her prideful lies were now common gossip the whole city knew the truth at last the truth was finally
17:36out in the open i said nothing to him in response i didn't reach for the hand he offered i
17:41fought the
17:42pain and stood up on my own rowan didn't move an inch to let me pass he stayed there blocking
17:49my only
17:50way out i looked at him with a cold dead stare move out of my way doctor he held the
17:55parchment right in
17:56front of me don't you have anything to say to me
18:05i met his gaze seeing how red his eyes were i looked away from his pleading eyes what does any
18:11of this matter now i have nothing left to say to you his hand shook as he held the paper
18:17he looked
18:18like he wanted to hold me but he held himself back at the last second you still hate me don't
