00:00Laura Valerius, the most revered duchess of the Arthurian continent.
00:04Right now, I'm standing at my coronation, basking in the adoration of my people.
00:22Why do you get to have all this supreme glory?
00:25If I had been the one Harry Marcus, all of this would be mine!
00:34My stepsister, Isolette. The glory Isolette brings. It's just hell in disguise.
00:43If I had to do it all over again, I'd rather die than take a single step back into that
00:48life.
00:55I thought this was the end, but I never expected the World Tree Pendant to absorb our blood.
01:02And actually turn back time.
01:21I'm actually back. The husband's selection. The day that decided my fate three years ago.
01:32Leora, go find yourself a wealthy suitor and set a good example for your sister.
01:37In my past life, I stood right here and chose the Count's son, Marcus.
01:42Walking, step by step, into a gilded tomb.
01:45This time, I won't let history repeat itself.
01:54Your Highness, this commoner's marriage selection is nothing but a farce for ruined families to trade power for cash.
02:01As a Prince of the Realm, how can you pick your future queen from a bunch of country bumpers?
02:06Royal power only buys fake obedience.
02:09What I want is true love.
02:11Someone who can look past this dirt and seize my soul.
02:13We're just passing by anyway. Let's take a look.
02:32Count Montburne's son, Marcusus, is actually here.
02:35The revival of our family depends entirely on today.
02:38You must use your looks and charm to seduce powerful nobles like him.
02:59My lord, I am willing to offer you my absolute loyalty, body and soul.
03:04Seeing the desperate look in Isol's eyes as she tried to steal my husband from my past life, it hit
03:10me.
03:10My vain little sister remembered everything, too.
03:14She'd been reborn, just like me.
03:17Since your sister chose the Count's son, you go serve the old Count!
03:30Only the old Count's wealth can bring our family back to the top!
03:35I gave you your beauty, and you must make a sacrifice for the family!
03:41Only useless men sell their daughters for family glory.
03:45I'll say it again, I'm not marrying him.
03:50Father!
03:53Father, since my dear sister thinks she's too good for the old Count,
03:57why not just marry her off to that penniless trap on the corner?
04:01She's a useless piece of trash anyway, so they're a perfect match.
04:06You ungrateful wretch!
04:08If you don't marry the old Count, I'll do exactly what your sister suggested,
04:12and toss you to that beggar like a stray dog!
04:22I know this choice is insane, but in this life, I refuse to be chained by power again.
04:31This man might just be my only salvation.
04:40As everyone wishes, I choose to marry you.
04:53Is she crazy?
04:55The eldest daughter of a baron, passing up nobles to pick a lowly street rat?
05:04Leora!
05:05How dare you make such a shameful trim bring this massive disgrace upon our family?
05:09And you!
05:10What right does a filthy rat like you have to step foot in such a noble gathering?
05:14Get the hell out of here right now!
05:19That's enough, Father!
05:20He might be a nobody off the streets, but he's more genuine than any of you elites.
05:24To me, he's better than all of you combined!
05:26He's the man I chose, and nobody gets to kick him out.
05:32What's your name?
05:34Will you marry me?
05:40I'm Rekus.
05:42Are you absolutely sure about this?
05:45My beautiful lady.
05:47In my last life, everyone envied my marriage into the highest tier of nobility,
05:51and my life of luxury.
05:53But who knew the pain and despair hiding beneath those glamorous dresses?
05:58I'd rather marry a beggar than those rotten, hypercritical nobles.
06:03Oh, my God, Leora must have gone mad with jealousy over Issel snaggering the Count's son,
06:09driving her to make such a choice.
06:17Poor Leora.
06:18If you're really that desperate for my protection, how about being a good girl and becoming my mistress?
06:25I'd shower you in the finest silks and rubies, definitely better than tagging along with this pathetic beggar.
06:41Since you love this piece of trash so much, let me help you celebrate.
06:48Let's see if this magicless tramp burns to death!
07:03Isselad, that's enough!
07:04Your vulgar and insolent behavior is what's truly dragging our family's name through the mud.
07:10My dear sister, your fiancé doesn't even have the skills to put out a tiny fire.
07:17How useless!
07:18He's fine just the way he is.
07:20He doesn't wear your hippotical masks.
07:24And he isn't full of your filthy schemes.
07:27I am willing to marry him.
07:29This girl sees past the elite's masquerade.
07:32That brilliant mind is exactly what belongs on the throne next to me.
07:37You shameless disgrace of a daughter!
07:39If you dare marry this worthless trash, who's worse than a dog,
07:45I'll disown you right here and strip you of the Valorius name!
07:53As you wish.
07:55From this day forward, I, Leora, have nothing to do with the Valorius family.
08:00But I am still marrying him.
08:11Did you mean everything you just said?
08:14I have absolutely nothing, not even a decent set of clothes.
08:17Are you seriously going to marry me?
08:18I meant every single word.
08:20I want to live the simplest life with you.
08:23The wedding is in three days.
08:25Will you accept?
08:27Of course.
08:29I'll be there in three days, right on time.
08:34I promise I will never let you endure hardship with me.
08:37Even if he really is just a tramp,
08:39his eyes are full of nothing but sincerity and tender.
08:42Unlike those fake nobles via schemes and arrogance,
08:45I know I made the right choice.
08:52This dress is too plain.
08:54Am I really supposed to let her walk down the aisle in this?
08:57It's a complete insult to her.
08:59Your Highness, you're supposed to be a guy with nothing to his name.
09:01A bespoke gown covered in rare gems blows your cover instantly.
09:10I know the groom is supposed to handle the wedding dress,
09:13but with what little I have, this is the best I could do.
09:16I'm sorry for shorting you.
09:18Don't be silly.
09:19It might not be covered in diamonds,
09:21but it carries your true devotion.
09:24I absolutely adore it.
09:27After the wedding, let's settle in a sleepy town,
09:30build a little wooden house,
09:32and grow those white roses I love.
09:33None of that toxic elite drama.
09:36Just you and me,
09:37keeping things simple and sweet.
09:48I'm gonna go get ready.
09:50See you in three days.
10:02Lyra.
10:03You bet everything on a nobody,
10:05and I promise you will never regret it.
10:08You have my word.
10:19Lyra.
10:21Father paid a thort for Morris,
10:24the Empire's premier tailor,
10:26to bless my wedding gown with magic.
10:29I painstakingly designed the magic Korra rays on this gown.
10:34It's the only way to match supreme glory of the Montworth family.
10:39This white dress was specially sent over by Rhaegar.
10:42No magic,
10:43no jewels,
10:44but I am completely happy with it.
10:46My dear sister,
10:48look at those rags on you.
10:49Did that pundir dig up a burial shrub
10:52from some flea market in the black market?
11:02What?
11:23This is impossible!
11:26What kind of wicked dark magic is this?
11:28Oh my god, could this be the legendary Saint Dragon Silk that vanished a whole century ago?
11:36Honored lady, only the future Empress of the Empire is worthy of wearing this divine gown.
11:42Who, who exactly are you?
11:51Impossible! How could a cheap slut like her possess a royal artifact?
11:56This has to be some cheap parlor trick!
11:59I couldn't have misread it. Saint Dragon Silk is a closely guarded royal treasure.
12:04Not even a duke has the right to touch it!
12:07Where... where on earth did you get this?
12:32Actionical31
12:33Last unknown
12:33Count Marcus! Your presence truly brings immense honour to the Valeus's family!
12:38See that? This is the supreme glory that truly belongs to the nobility.
12:44Did your tramp of a fiancé get scared and crawl back into the sewers?
12:54What a joke. That beggar definitely took one look at Count Marcus' grand entrance and ran for the hills.
13:04Leora! Where the hell is that piece of trash? Are you going to keep making a fool of us here?
13:10How did I ever raise such a shameless daughter?
13:14Oh, my dear sister, you are pitiful to the extreme. You threw away a life of luxury, and now even
13:21the lowest exile is disgusted by you and dumps you. You are an absolute laughingstock right now.
13:26I will absolutely not allow you to drag this family's honor through the mud on such an important day.
13:32Since that beggar ran off, you are going to marry the old Count immediately. At least that might salvage some
13:39of our family's dignity.
13:41Absolutely not. I've already made a vow to Ragon. He is the only man I'm marrying in this life.
13:48The family's face comes first. It's not up to you anymore. Today, I'm tossing you into the old Count's bed
13:55myself if I have to.
13:56Let go of me! I'm not going!
14:13Let her go.
14:19Oh, my God. Is that really the exile? His aura, it's even more overbearing than a duke's.
14:30Dammit. How can a filthy beggar have such an aura?
14:38What are you doing?
14:40I'm sorry. I had to deal with some family errands on the way here. I kept you waiting.
15:04This is the most precious heirloom my mother left me before she died.
15:08From this moment on, my life and my loyalty belong entirely to you.
15:13I swear, no matter if the future holds poverty or hardship, I will cherish it as much as I cherish
15:20my own life.
15:36By the God of Light, why does the totem on this ring look...
15:40Act like the Saint Dragon Ring worn by the previous Queen, as recorded in the Temple's ancient texts.
15:45I must be drunk. A poor nobody, stripped of his name, owning a royal treasure? Impossible.
15:51It's probably just a rusty piece of scrap metal.
15:59Your Highness.
16:03Your Highness.
16:06The Rebels are beginning to make their move, and His Majesty the King is in grave danger.
16:14Your Highness?
16:16Who exactly are you?
16:29Why haven't you changed your dress yet?
16:31He just called you Your Highness. And what's this about Rebels? What's going on?
16:37Leola said she wants a simple life. It's better if I take care of the Rebels before telling her my
16:41true identity.
16:43In the harsh Northern Exile lands, the one with the hardest fists gets to be king.
16:47The boys are just used to teasing me with that old title.
16:49As for the Rebels, they're just thugs trying to steal our turf.
16:53Did something happen?
16:54There is indeed an urgent matter I need to handle.
16:58I'm so sorry, but...
17:00I promise to be back as soon as possible.
17:09We need to resolve this mess immediately.
17:12Pass down the order.
17:13Pick out the grandest apology gift and have it sent to the Baron's estate.
17:17My wife absolutely will not be wronged.
17:20Yes, Your Highness.
17:21I'm so sorry, but I'm so sorry, but I'm so sorry.
17:48Well, well, isn't this our noble exile's wife?
17:53What's wrong?
17:54Did your peaver husband dump you right after getting married?
18:00Don't tell me you secretly gave him some money to hire him to put on a show with you.
18:05Now that the act is over, he took the cash and ran off.
18:09Are you done talking?
18:10Can I leave now?
18:11You're probably going to do something else, you are.
18:17Lyorla!
18:18You're causing me trouble again!
18:20That piece of trap abandoned you at the ball and humiliated this entire family!
18:24Don't be angry, my lord.
18:27Lyorla just isn't as capable as our Isolda.
18:30We found such a wonderful patron in the Count.
18:50The Count is truly too generous.
18:53It is the absolute honor of our entire family that Isolaid could form this union with you.
19:00Take a good look.
19:02Did you see that?
19:03That is power.
19:04I bet your tramp couldn't even afford a single gift for your family and scurried back to the slums, didn't
19:12he?
19:12Raheola had an emergency to attend to.
19:15He'll be back soon.
19:16As long as he treats me with genuine sincerity.
19:19I don't care about any of these things.
19:23Bullshit!
19:24He can't even produce a decent gift!
19:27He's a complete fraud!
19:28The Vabalossus family absolutely refuses to recognize this marriage!
19:38The Royal Protocol Department?
19:41Why are they here?
19:43And with so many treasures?
19:47By royal decree,
19:49for the esteemed bride, Lyora,
19:52we hereby stow 100,000 top three star magic crystals.
19:56Three volumes of high-tier magic scrolls lost for a century.
20:02And a bushel of deep-sea,
20:04murphish-tier pearls
20:06as a wedding gift
20:08to the Velodius family.
20:14Please open the box for inspection.
20:18What?
20:27Oh my God.
20:29Since when did the Baron's family have royal connections?
20:32Could that exile actually be some powerful figure in disguise?
20:38What on earth is going on?
20:40Did Raius really send these gifts?
20:44Shut up, all of you!
20:45Think about it!
20:47How could a beggar,
20:48who can't even afford a meal,
20:50order around the Royal Protocol Department?
20:52Duke Marcus's father
20:54is the chief inquisitor of the Empire
20:55and is deeply valued by His Majesty.
20:58The Royal Family obviously sent this reward to us
21:00out of respect for the Duke.
21:02This trifling gift
21:03is just a small token
21:05of the Royal Family's appreciation
21:06for the Monthold family.
21:08There will only be more rewards like this
21:10in the future.
21:12No matter how capable Rashian is,
21:14he couldn't possibly summon
21:16the Royal Protocol Department.
21:17There must be some mistake.
21:21Now, I'll open it
21:24and show you
21:24what real power looks like.
21:44Margaret!
22:14How is this possible?
22:16You must have secretly learned
22:18some wicked witchcraft
22:19and just got lucky!
22:20How could an exile's wife
22:22break a royal seal?
22:35Exactly!
22:36To fully break a royal seal,
22:38you need pure bloodlines
22:40like my father's.
22:41I was repelced
22:43because I only used
22:44half of my bloodline power
22:45just now.
22:46This crazy woman
22:47definitely just got lucky.
22:51So that's it!
22:52Count Marcus is right!
22:54How could such a heavy
22:55royal treasure
22:56be meant for the wife
22:57of an exile?
22:58Leora,
22:59you just want to show off
23:01at every turn.
23:02Marrying an exile
23:03and then trying to show off
23:05with someone else's reward?
23:07You make me sick!
23:17Follow me!
23:18We ride
23:19to welcome the queen
23:21back to the palace!
23:22Yes!
23:27You worthless piece of trash!
23:31Not only did you marry
23:32a filthy beggar,
23:33you actually dared
23:34to use witchcraft
23:35to ruin your sister's moment!
23:37How did I ever raise
23:39a daughter like you?
23:40You made me live
23:41in a leaky attic,
23:43let my stepmother
23:44cut my rations,
23:45and even tried to sell me off
23:47like livestock
23:48to that brutal old count
23:49for a bit of coin.
23:51From the very beginning,
23:53you've never treated me
23:54like a daughter!
23:55Shut up!
23:57You damn ungrateful wretch!
24:20This...
24:21This is the royal family's
24:24exclusive
24:25saint dragon totem?
24:39Leora,
24:40how dare you
24:41forge a royal totem?
24:43That is a capital offense
24:44that will destroy
24:45this entire family!
24:47Are you trying
24:47to get us all killed?
24:49I'm going to destroy
24:50this piece of junk
24:51right now!
24:53Stop!
24:55You want it back?
24:57Fine.
24:58Just give me
24:59a deep bow
25:00right now.
25:01Apologize loudly
25:02for stealing
25:03my spotlight earlier,
25:04and I'll return it.
25:10I'm sorry.
25:11I offended you earlier.
25:14Now please,
25:16give it back.
25:23I changed my mind.
25:25Since you insist
25:27it isn't a fake,
25:28then prove your innocence
25:29by the laws
25:30of the Count's house.
25:44Have you dared walk
25:46barefoot across this
25:47path of heart-burning
25:49thought?
25:51I'll give the way back.
25:55How about it?
25:57In my past life,
25:58I suffered inhuman
25:59torture in the Duke's
26:00estate.
26:01The pain of betrayed
26:02by my closest kin
26:04was a thousand times
26:05worse than this
26:06poisonous thornfire.
26:28Rhea, I will get back
26:29the ring you gave me,
26:30no matter what.
26:35The thorn's poison
26:37sank deep
26:37into my flesh.
26:39The magic fire
26:40felt like a thousand needles
26:42drilling through my bones
26:43and into my skull.
26:45Every breath
26:46I took tasted
26:47like blood.
26:49My vision
26:49was already
26:50blurry.
26:52But I couldn't stop.
26:54I couldn't fall.
27:04I made it across.
27:05Give me back the ring.
27:27My dear sister,
27:29you really are
27:30a perfectly
27:31obedient dog.
27:33What a pity.
27:35I changed my mind.
27:44That ring
27:45is a relic
27:46from Reyes'
27:47mother,
27:47his most cherished
27:48possessions.
27:54I can't just
27:55watch these
27:56hypocritical demons
27:58destroy it.
28:01since you can't
28:02bear to part
28:03with this piece
28:03of junk,
28:04then go straight
28:05to hell with it.
28:11I have no strength
28:12left to dodge.
28:14Raheus,
28:15I'm so sorry.
28:16I did my best.
28:33impossible.
28:34My magic.
28:35How did it drop
28:36to zero
28:37in an instant?
28:40sinned.
28:41The real love.
28:44I knew you
28:45would come.
28:47You.
28:49How dare you
28:50HURT
28:52my lover!
28:54you
28:54you
28:55you
28:55you
28:58that
28:59you
29:06you
29:07you
29:07you
