The Stepsister Who Killed Her.💖Drama
Transcript
00:00:02I'm Leora Valeris, the most revered Duchess of the Arthurian continent.
00:00:07Right now, I'm standing at my coronation, basking in the adoration of my people.
00:00:25Why do you get to have all this supreme glory?
00:00:28If I had been the one, Harry Marcus, all of this would be mine!
00:00:38My stepsister, Isolette, the glory Isolette dreams of, is just hell in disguise.
00:00:46If I had to do it all over again, I'd rather die than take a single step back into that
00:00:51life.
00:00:58I thought this was the end, but I never expected the World Tree Pendant to absorb our blood, and actually
00:01:06turn back time.
00:01:24I'm actually back. The husband's selection. The day that decided my fate three years ago.
00:01:35Leora, go find yourself a wealthy suitor and set a good example for your sister!
00:01:40In my past life, I stood right here and chose the Count's son, Marcus, walking step by step into a
00:01:47gilded tomb.
00:01:48This time, I won't let history repeat itself.
00:01:58Your Highness, this commoner's marriage selection is nothing but a farce for ruined families to trade power for cash.
00:02:04As a prince of the realm, how can you pick your future queen from a bunch of country bumpers?
00:02:09Royal power only buys fake obedience. What I want is true love. Someone who can look past this dirt and
00:02:16seize my soul.
00:02:17We're just passing by anyway, let's take a look.
00:02:29Count Montburne's son Marcus is actually here. The revival of our family depends entirely on today.
00:02:35You must use your looks and charm to seduce powerful nobles like him.
00:02:56My lord, I am willing to offer you my absolute loyalty, body and soul.
00:03:02Seeing the desperate look in Isol's eyes as she tried to steal my husband from my past life, it hit
00:03:07me.
00:03:08My vain little sister remembered everything too. She'd been reborn, just like me.
00:03:15Since your sister chose the Count's son, you go serve the old Count.
00:03:26I'm not marrying him.
00:03:28Only the old Count's wealth can bring our family back to the top.
00:03:33I gave you your beauty and you must make a sacrifice for the family.
00:03:38Only useless men sell their daughters for family glory.
00:03:42I'll say it again. I'm not marrying him.
00:03:47Father!
00:03:51Father, since my dear sister thinks she's too good for the old Count,
00:03:55why not just marry her off to that penniless trap on the corner?
00:03:58She's a useless piece of trash anyway, so they're a perfect match.
00:04:03You ungrateful wretch!
00:04:05If you don't marry the old Count, I'll do exactly what your sister suggested and toss you to that beggar
00:04:11like a stray dog!
00:04:19I know this choice is insane, but in this life I refuse to be chained by power again.
00:04:28This man might just be my only salvation.
00:04:37As everyone wishes, I choose to marry you.
00:04:48Is she crazy? The eldest daughter of a baron passing up nobles to pick a lowly street rat?
00:05:00Leora! How dare you make such a shameful trim bring this massive disgrace upon our family!
00:05:04And you! What right does a filthy trap like you have to step foot in such a noble gathering?
00:05:09Get the hell out of here right now!
00:05:14That's enough, Father!
00:05:15He might be a nobody off the streets, but he's more genuine than any of you elites!
00:05:19To me, he's better than all of you combined!
00:05:21He's the man I chose and nobody gets to kick him out!
00:05:27What's your name?
00:05:29Will you marry me?
00:05:36I'm Rakus. Are you absolutely sure about this?
00:05:40My beautiful lady.
00:05:42In my last life, everyone envied my marriage into the highest tier of nobility and my life of luxury.
00:05:48But who knew the pain and despair hiding beneath those glamorous dresses?
00:05:53I'd rather marry a beggar than those rotten, hypercritical nobles.
00:05:58Oh my God, Leora must have gone mad with jealousy over Issel snaggering the Count's son, driving her to make
00:06:06such a choice.
00:06:12Poor Leora. If you're really that desperate for my protection, how about being a good girl and becoming my mistress?
00:06:20I'd shower you in the finest silks and rubies. Definitely better than tagging along with this pathetic beggar.
00:06:36Since you love this piece of trash so much, let me help you celebrate.
00:06:43Let's see if this magicless tramp burns to death!
00:06:58Isselad, that's enough! Your vulgar and insolent behaviour is what's truly dragging our family's name through the mud!
00:07:05My dear sister, your fiancé doesn't even have the skills to put out a tiny fire! How useless!
00:07:14He's fine just the way he is. He doesn't wear your hippotical masks.
00:07:20And he isn't full of your filthy schemes. I am willing to marry him.
00:07:24This girl sees past the elite's masquerade. That brilliant mind is exactly what belongs on the throne next to me.
00:07:32You shameless disgrace of a daughter!
00:07:35If you dare marry this worthless trash who's worse than a dog, I'll disown you right here and strip you
00:07:42of the valorous name!
00:07:49As you wish.
00:07:51From this day forward, I, Lyora, have nothing to do with the valorous family.
00:07:55But I am still marrying him.
00:08:03I am still marrying him.
00:08:04Did you mean everything you just said?
00:08:06I have absolutely nothing, not even a decent set of clothes. Are you seriously gonna marry me?
00:08:11I meant every single word. I want to live the simplest life with you. The wedding is in three days.
00:08:17Will you accept?
00:08:20Of course. I'll be there in three days, right on time.
00:08:26I promise I will never let you endure hardship with me.
00:08:30Even if he really is just a tramp, his eyes are full of nothing but sincerity and tender.
00:08:35Unlike those fake nobles, five schemes and arrogance, I know I made the right choice.
00:08:45This dress is too plain. Am I really supposed to let her walk down the aisle in this?
00:08:49It's a complete insult to her.
00:08:51Your Highness, you're supposed to be a guy with nothing to his name.
00:08:54A bespoke gown covered in rare gems blows your cover instantly.
00:09:03I know the groom is supposed to handle the wedding dress, but with what little I have, this is the
00:09:07best I could do.
00:09:08I'm sorry for shortching you.
00:09:10Don't be silly. It might not be covered in diamonds, but it carries your true devotion.
00:09:16I absolutely adore it.
00:09:20After the wedding, let's settle in a sleepy town, build a little wooden house, and grow those white roses I
00:09:26love.
00:09:26None of that toxic elite drama. Just you and me, keeping things simple and sweet.
00:09:41I'm gonna go get ready. See you in three days.
00:09:55Lira, you bet everything on a nobody, and I promise you will never regret it.
00:10:00You have my word.
00:10:09Lira, father paid a thort for Morris, the Empire's premier tailor, to bless my wedding gown with magic.
00:10:18I painstakingly designed the magic Korra rays on this gown.
00:10:24It's the only way to match supreme glory of the Montworth family.
00:10:28This white dress was specially sent over by Rhaegar.
00:10:31No magic, no jewels, but I am completely happy with it.
00:10:36My dear sister, look at those rags on you.
00:10:39Did that pundir dig up a burial shrub from some flea market in the black market?
00:11:13School
00:11:14Impossible! What kind of wicked dark magic is this?
00:11:18Oh my god! Could this be the legendary Saint Dragon Silk that vanished a whole century ago?
00:11:26Honored Lady, only the future Empress of the Empire is worthy of wearing this divine gown.
00:11:32Who, who exactly are you?
00:11:38Impossible! How could a cheap slut like her possess a royal artifact?
00:11:43This has to be some cheap parlor trick!
00:11:46I couldn't have misread it. Saint Dragon Silk is a closely guarded royal treasure.
00:11:51Not even a duke has the right to touch it. Where... where on earth did you get this?
00:12:19Count Marcus, your presence truly brings immense honor to the Valeus' family.
00:12:25See that? This is the supreme glory that truly belongs to the nobility.
00:12:31Did your tramp of a fiancé get scared and crawl back into the sewers?
00:12:41What a joke. That beggar definitely took one look at Count Marcus' grand entrance and ran for the hills.
00:12:51Leora!
00:12:51Where the hell is that piece of trash?
00:12:55Are you going to keep making a fool of us here?
00:12:57How did I ever raise such a shameless daughter?
00:13:01Oh, my dear sister, you are pitiful to the extreme.
00:13:05You threw away a life of luxury, and now even the lowest exile is disgusted by you and dumps you.
00:13:11You are an absolute laughingstock right now.
00:13:13I will absolutely not allow you to drag this family's honor through the mud on such an important day.
00:13:19Since that beggar ran off, you are going to marry the old Count immediately.
00:13:24At least that might salvage some of our family's dignity.
00:13:27Absolutely not. I've already made a vow to Ragon.
00:13:32He is the only man I'm marrying in this life.
00:13:35The family's face comes first. It's not up to you anymore.
00:13:39Today, I'm tossing you into the old Count's bed myself if I have to.
00:13:43Let go of me! I'm not going!
00:13:45Let go of me!
00:13:59Let her go!
00:14:03Oh, my God. Is that really the exile?
00:14:06His aura, it's even more overbearing than a Duke's.
00:14:14Dammit!
00:14:15How can a filthy beggar have such an aura?
00:14:22What are you doing?
00:14:24I'm sorry. I had to deal with some family errands on the way here.
00:14:28I kept you waiting.
00:14:33I'm sorry.
00:14:34I'm sorry.
00:14:49This is the most precious heirloom my mother left me before she died.
00:14:52From this moment on, my life and my loyalty belong entirely to you.
00:14:57I swear, no matter if the future holds poverty or hardship,
00:15:02I will cherish it as much as I cherish my own life.
00:15:20By the God of Light.
00:15:22Why does the totem on this ring look exactly like the Saint Dragon Ring worn by the previous Queen,
00:15:27as recorded in the Temple's ancient texts?
00:15:30I must be drunk.
00:15:31A poor nobody, stripped of his name, owning a royal treasure.
00:15:34Impossible.
00:15:35It's probably just a rusty piece of scrap metal.
00:15:43Your Highness.
00:15:48Your Highness.
00:15:50The rebels are beginning to make their move,
00:15:52and His Majesty the King is in grave danger.
00:15:59Your Highness?
00:16:01Who exactly are you?
00:16:12Why haven't you changed your dress yet?
00:16:14He just called you Your Highness.
00:16:16And what's this about rebels?
00:16:17What's going on?
00:16:19Leola said she wants a simple life.
00:16:21It's better if I take care of the rebels before telling her my true identity.
00:16:25In the harsh northern exile lands, the one with the hardest fists gets to be king.
00:16:29The boys are just used to teasing me with that old title.
00:16:32As for the rebels, they're just thugs trying to steal our turf.
00:16:36Did something happen?
00:16:37There is indeed an urgent matter I need to handle.
00:16:41I'm so sorry, but I promise to be back as soon as possible.
00:16:52We need to resolve this mess immediately.
00:16:54Pass down the order.
00:16:55Pick out the grandest apology gift and have it sent to the Baron's estate.
00:16:59My wife absolutely will not be wronged.
00:17:02Yes, Your Highness.
00:17:13Pick out the grandest apology gift and have it sent to the Baron's estate.
00:17:33noble exile's wife.
00:17:36What's wrong?
00:17:37Did your peaver husband dump you right after getting married?
00:17:42Don't tell me you secretly gave him some money to hire him to put on a show with you.
00:17:47Now that the act is over, he took the cash and ran off.
00:17:51Are you done talking?
00:17:53Can I leave now?
00:17:54Harley, it's going to do something else.
00:17:57You're up.
00:17:59Leola!
00:18:00You're causing me trouble again.
00:18:02That piece of trap abandoned you at the ball and humiliated this entire family.
00:18:07Don't be angry, my lord.
00:18:10Leola just isn't as capable as our Isolde.
00:18:13We found such a wonderful patron in the Count.
00:18:33The Count is truly too generous.
00:18:36It is the absolute honour of our entire family that Isolaid could form this union with you.
00:18:43Take a good look.
00:18:44Did you see that?
00:18:46That is power.
00:18:47I bet your tramp couldn't even afford a single gift for your family and scurried back to the slums, didn't
00:18:54he?
00:18:55Raheola had an emergency to attend to.
00:18:57He'll be back soon.
00:18:58As long as he treats me with genuine sincerity.
00:19:01I don't care about any of those things.
00:19:05Bullshit!
00:19:06He can't even produce a decent gift.
00:19:09He's a complete fraud.
00:19:11The Vavellossus family absolutely refuses to recognize this marriage!
00:19:21The Royal Protocol Department?
00:19:24Why are they here?
00:19:29By Royal Decree, for the esteemed Bride, Leora, we hereby stow 100,000 top priest star magic crystals.
00:19:39Three volumes of high-tier magic scrolls lost for a century.
00:19:45And a bushel of deep-sea, murphish-tier pearls as a wedding gift to the Velodius family.
00:19:56Please open the box for inspection.
00:20:01What?
00:20:04Oh my god, since when did the Baron's family have royal connections?
00:20:09Could that exile actually be some powerful figure in disguise?
00:20:14What on earth is going on?
00:20:17Did Raius really send these gifts?
00:20:21Shut up, all of you!
00:20:22Think about it!
00:20:23How could a beggar, who can't even afford a meal, order around the Royal Protocol Department?
00:20:29Duke Marcus's father is the chief inquisitor of the Empire and is deeply valued by His Majesty.
00:20:35The Royal Family obviously sent this reward to us out of respect for the Duke.
00:20:38This trifling gift is just a small token of the Royal Family's appreciation for the Monthold family.
00:20:45There will only be more rewards like this in the future.
00:20:49No matter how capable Raiusian is, he couldn't possibly summon the Royal Protocol Department.
00:20:54There must be some mistake.
00:20:58Now, I'll open it and show you what real power looks like.
00:21:04Now, I'll open it and show you what real power looks like.
00:21:48How is this possible?
00:21:50You must have secretly learned some wicked witchcraft and just got lucky!
00:21:54How could an Exile's wife break a Royal Seal?
00:22:09Exactly!
00:22:11To fully break a Royal Seal, you need pure bloodlines like my father's.
00:22:16I was repelced because I only used half of my bloodline power just now.
00:22:20But this crazy woman definitely just got lucky.
00:22:25So that's it!
00:22:26Count Marcus is right!
00:22:28How could such a heavy Royal Treasure be meant for the wife of an Exile?
00:22:32Leora, you just want to show off at every turn.
00:22:37Marrying an Exile and then trying to show off with someone else's reward?
00:22:41You make me sick!
00:22:51Follow me!
00:22:53We ride to welcome the Queen back to the palace!
00:23:01You worthless piece of trash!
00:23:05Not only did you marry a filthy beggar, you actually dared to use witchcraft to ruin your sister's moment!
00:23:11How did I ever raise a daughter like you?!
00:23:15You made me live in a leaky attic, let my stepmother cut my rations, and even tried to sell me
00:23:21off like livestock to that brutal old count for a bit of coin!
00:23:25From the very beginning, you've never treated me like a daughter!
00:23:29Shut up!
00:23:31You damn ungrateful wretch!
00:23:33Shut up!
00:23:56You damn ungrateful wretch!
00:23:59Delusive saint dragon totem!
00:24:10Leora, how dare you forge a royal totem!
00:24:14That is a capital offense that will destroy this entire family!
00:24:18Are you trying to get us all killed?!
00:24:20I'm going to destroy this piece of junk right now!
00:24:24Stop!
00:24:26You want it back?
00:24:27Fine.
00:24:29Just give me a deep bow right now.
00:24:32Apologize loudly for stealing my spotlight earlier, and I'll return it.
00:24:41I'm sorry.
00:24:42I offended you earlier.
00:24:45Now please, give it back.
00:24:54I changed my mind.
00:24:56Since you insist it isn't a fake.
00:24:59Then prove your innocence by the laws of the Count's house.
00:25:15If you dare to walk barefoot across this path of heart-burning thoughts...
00:25:22I'll give the ring back.
00:25:26How about it?
00:25:28In my past life, I suffered inhuman torture in the Duke's estate.
00:25:32The pain of betrayed by my closest kin was a thousand times worse than this poisonous thornfire.
00:26:04The thorn's poison sank deep into my flesh.
00:26:07The thorn's poison sank deep into my flesh.
00:26:07The magic fire felt like a thousand needles, drilling through my bones and into my skull.
00:26:13Every breath I took tasted like blood.
00:26:17My vision was already blown.
00:26:21But I couldn't stop.
00:26:23I couldn't fall.
00:26:32I made it across.
00:26:34I made it across.
00:26:34Give me back the ring.
00:26:37The thorn.
00:26:38The thorn.
00:26:39The thorn.
00:26:50The thorn.
00:27:01The thorn.
00:27:04I changed my mind.
00:27:13That ring is a relic from Reyes' mother, his most cherished possession.
00:27:23I can't just watch these hypocritical demons destroy it.
00:27:30Since you can't bear to part with this piece of junk, then go straight to hell with it.
00:27:39I have no strength left to dodge.
00:27:43Raheus, I'm so sorry. I did my best.
00:28:02Impossible. My magic. How did it drop to zero in an instant?
00:28:10The rail. I knew you would come.
00:28:16You! How dare you!
00:28:20Turn my lover!
00:28:32Leora, I'm too late.
00:28:36Rai, I didn't lose your token.
00:28:41Reyes, you filthy street rat!
00:28:43How dare you trespass onto a baron's territory with your thugs!
00:28:46Insolent! How dare you disrespect His Highness the Prince!
00:28:55Absurd! How does a beggar suddenly turn into a prince?
00:29:00But those really are royal guards, and that's the royal dragon totem.
00:29:04My lord!
00:29:06Let low-class parl tricks confuse you.
00:29:08This tramp definitely stole a bag of gold, hired a bunch of wild mercery from the Hake Market,
00:29:13and dressed them in fake armor to intimidate us.
00:29:16Exactly! He's nothing but a beggar!
00:29:25So that's it! What a blazing fraud!
00:29:27How dare you hire cheap mercenaries to impersonate royal knights!
00:29:31Sister, you are truly pathetic.
00:29:32Your tramp of a husband actually dared to blaspheme the royal crown,
00:29:35just to salvage his laughable pride.
00:29:38Just wait, there won't even be intact corpses left of him.
00:29:40You are the ones blaspheming the crown!
00:29:50How dare you!
00:29:54Vumis, I merely took a trashy ring.
00:29:56Leola was the one who insisted on charging into the magic array.
00:29:59How stupid.
00:30:01Watch your mouth!
00:30:02Despicable tramp!
00:30:03You've already committed a felony by breaking into the baron's estate,
00:30:06and now you have the goal to disrespect a noble!
00:30:09Exactly!
00:30:10For the dignity of the nobility, they must be executed!
00:30:14Guards!
00:30:15Hear my command!
00:30:16Arrest all these frauds!
00:30:20No, don't.
00:30:23In the name of the royal crown, arrest these traitors.
00:30:27Loyalty until death!
00:30:45Marcus!
00:30:46Save me!
00:30:47Marcus!
00:30:47You lunatic!
00:30:48Tell them to stop!
00:30:50The Count's estate will never let you get away with this!
00:30:53Leola!
00:30:54Are you trying to drag the entire baron's estate down to the grave with you?
00:30:58Lord Marcus is an imperial count!
00:31:02A count?
00:31:03You hurt Leola, so you'd better be prepared to die!
00:31:09Vile street rat!
00:31:11How dare you offend a noble!
00:31:13You're dead meat!
00:31:15Leola!
00:31:15You are an absolute disgrace to this family!
00:31:19Hurry up and kneel down to apologize to Count Marcus!
00:31:22You reduced Leola to this state, and I'm going to make you pay for it!
00:31:27A hundredfold!
00:31:37Bastard!
00:31:38Let go of me!
00:31:40My father is Cedric, the chief inquisitor of the royal law enforcement!
00:31:46If you dare touch a hair on my head, you'll all be sent to the guillotine!
00:31:51What?
00:31:52Finally know how to be scared?
00:31:54You commoner playing prince!
00:31:56Get on your knees and lick my boots!
00:31:58Maybe I'll show some mercy, and ask my father to leave your corpse intact!
00:32:02Cedric?
00:32:04I never imagined the royal court still harbored such scum who'd let their own families work from the inside out.
00:32:23Lord Chief Inquisitor!
00:32:25That damned exile in Lyorta did all of this!
00:32:27It has absolutely nothing to do with our Baron's estate!
00:32:30Father!
00:32:31You're finally here!
00:32:32Hurry and kill this beggar who's impersonating royalty!
00:32:35What?
00:32:48Your- Your Highness!
00:32:51What is something?
00:33:07Impossible! He's just a lonely beggar!
00:33:10Exactly! Father! This is all a paint disguise!
00:33:13How could a real royal highness ever appear in some remote baron's estate?
00:33:17Those words made Cedric waver. He began to carefully size Rakus up.
00:33:22And my father chose that exact moment to instigate further.
00:33:25They told Cedric that Rakus was nothing but a low-born fraud.
00:33:28Cedric was convinced. He decided to make his move against Rakus.
00:33:40Stunt out!
00:33:43Is this how the royal chief inquisitor enforces the law?
00:33:46Without distinguishing right from wrong?
00:33:48Are you even worthy of the title of inquisitor?
00:33:51Shut your mouth!
00:33:53Despicable peasant!
00:33:54The trampling on noble dignity is leaking the capital offence!
00:33:57My father is an inquisitor!
00:33:59Personally appointed it by his Magister King!
00:34:02You have no right to judge him!
00:34:04I have no right?
00:34:06Do you have any idea what the consequences are for offending the royal crown?
00:34:12Your Majesty, His Highness the Prince is currently at Baron Karl's estate.
00:34:16And he has even entered into a marriage contract with the Baron's daughter.
00:34:19Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:34:21That brat, Roshius!
00:34:23He's been away from the palace for so long.
00:34:26And he actually went and found true love without making a peep?
00:34:30I must go see for myself exactly what kind of destined woman managed to capture my cold-hearted son's heart!
00:34:45Cedric, you abuse your power. You are not fit to be the Chief Inquisitor.
00:34:50How dare you insult the law enforcement! You've got a lot of nerve!
00:35:00Lord Inquisitor, I beg you to see the truth! We have absolutely nothing to do with this Leora!
00:35:06From this moment on, our family severs all ties with Leora!
00:35:10Lord Inquisitor, they offended the Majesty of the Royal Crown. They must be severely punished.
00:35:16That's right, Father! That lowly beggar forged a royal identity and blasphemed the crown! He must be executed!
00:35:23Reyyan was in danger, and it was all because of me. I had to protect him.
00:35:29Lord Inquisitor, Reyyan did all of this because of me! Please spare him!
00:35:36Leora!
00:35:46Trying to escape! Law enforcement knights! Stop them!
00:35:51Block these traitors! Kill anyone who stands in our way!
00:36:15RAYEYA!
00:36:16RAYYA! RAYYA! NO!
00:36:22Rhaegha, how are you holding up?
00:36:24A lowly street rat could never trample on the dignity of nobles.
00:36:28Don't worry, he'll be dead any second now.
00:36:31Exactly! This is the price you have to pay.
00:36:43Just accept your fate like a good girl, my dear sister.
00:36:45Watching the man you love die right in front of you, doesn't it feel fantastic?
00:36:49I couldn't let Rayason die, even if it meant throwing away my dignity, as long as Rayason could live.
00:36:56I'm begging you, please let Rayolin go! I will take the blame for everything!
00:37:00Shut up, Leora. You are not allowed to beg them.
00:37:05Ryan, you got hurt because of me. I don't want you to die.
00:37:13What a tear-jerking couple. In that case, you can both just die together!
00:37:19Filthy trap. This is what happens when you cross me!
00:37:46Who dares touch my son on the soil of my empire?
00:37:50His majesty, the king!
00:37:54That son! Is the king calling that bregid his son?
00:37:59He really is his highness, the prince.
00:38:04Leora, what's wrong?
00:38:10Quickly! Have the chief priest come over immediately to heal the prince!
00:38:14Hurry and get Leora back for treatment.
00:38:16I want her completely safe and sound.
00:38:19Yes, your highness.
00:38:28Your highness, all the traitors have been apprehended.
00:38:31Please give the order for their punishment.
00:38:33My son, you...
00:38:38Son. Impossible. This is absolutely impossible.
00:38:42How could he be the prince?
00:38:44Isn't he a beggar?
00:38:45How could he be his highness, the prince?
00:38:48Execute all members of Baron Karl's household without delay.
00:38:52Your highness, spare my life.
00:38:54Chief Inquisitor Cedric, you have abused your power.
00:38:57From this moment on, you and Marcus are stripped of your titles and thrown into the Frost Dungeon to await
00:39:01trial.
00:39:02Your highness, spare us!
00:39:03Your majesty, spare us!
00:39:04It's all my fault!
00:39:05We truly had no idea of your highness' true identity!
00:39:08Just because you didn't know my identity,
00:39:11does that give you the right to trample on others' dignity so recklessly?
00:39:14Isley did all of this!
00:39:15She was behind it all!
00:39:16It has nothing to do with me!
00:39:18Marcus!
00:39:19You coward!
00:39:19You were the one who wanted to kill them all along!
00:39:22Your majesty, the king, I beg of you, please forgive us for the sake of our family's century of loyalty
00:39:26to the Empire.
00:39:27Enough!
00:39:29Raycon, executing Baron Karl's family is far too cruel.
00:39:32Just exile them to the Frostall Wasteland.
00:39:35As for Marcus and his father, stripping them of their titles is already the most severe punishment.
00:39:41Father, my child, that girl is still waiting for you to take care of her.
00:39:46You may go.
00:40:01Leora, you're finally awake.
00:40:03I have no idea what exactly happened that day, but I remember someone saved us.
00:40:09How are you feeling?
00:40:11Don't worry, we're safe now.
00:40:13The priest has already healed us, so just get some rest.
00:40:16Raycon, where are we?
00:40:18What on earth is going on?
00:40:19The king saved us.
00:40:21The king!
00:40:26Father, I want Leora to be my queen.
00:40:31But Leora is merely a Baron's daughter.
00:40:34If she becomes queen, many will stand in your way.
00:40:38She risked her own life to protect me.
00:40:41Besides, Leora and I have already sealed our marriage pact.
00:40:45She will be my queen.
00:40:47She will be my queen, no matter what.
00:40:51Very well.
00:40:53I'm glad you found true love.
00:40:56However, according to royal custom,
00:40:58a commoner must pass the royal trial to wear the queen's crown.
00:41:03I accept.
00:41:06But I have one condition.
00:41:10Until Leora passes the trial, you must never reveal your true identity to her.
00:41:17Otherwise, she will fail the trial and lose the right to be queen.
00:41:23You have my word.
00:41:25Right before I passed out, I clearly heard someone address Rhaegar.
00:41:29Your highness!
00:41:30Yes, your highness!
00:41:31Rhaegar, right before I blacked out, didn't they call you your highness?
00:41:36And didn't the king call you his son?
00:41:40You misheard.
00:41:42It was because of this old royal armor I'm wearing.
00:41:44They mistook me for a member of the royal family.
00:41:47The king cleared up the misunderstanding later.
00:41:49What about my family and Marcus?
00:41:51Baron Carl's entire family was exiled to the Frostfall Wasteland.
00:41:55And Marcus and Cedric have been stripped of their title.
00:41:59Leora, let me protect you from now on.
00:42:02The king has settled us in Duke Edmund's castle.
00:42:05I've been enlisted in the knight's army.
00:42:07And you'll be working as a maid in the Duke's estate.
00:42:10When I'm not around, the power hidden inside this ring will protect you.
00:42:17Get up right now and scrub the stables, you new piece of trash.
00:42:22Or I'll skin you alive!
00:42:23But the whip stopped dead in mid-air.
00:42:26I realized Martha was terrified of Rhaegar.
00:42:37My lord, I was blind to not see who you are.
00:42:41I'll take my leave at once.
00:42:47I have to report to the barracks now.
00:42:50Wait for me in the castle.
00:42:52Lady Catherine, you are Duke Edmund's daughter.
00:42:55And the prince is the man you've set your sights on.
00:42:58We can't let this cheap maid taint him.
00:43:01We can't let this cheap maid taint him.
00:43:19You bitch!
00:43:20This is Lady Catherine's garden.
00:43:22Get your filthy hands off those flowers right now!
00:43:27Lady Catherine, Leora is...
00:43:31She is nothing but a lowly maid.
00:43:33Anyone who tramples my garden must be punished.
00:43:39Slut!
00:43:40Go clean the stables in the backyard.
00:43:41Don't even think about eating until it's done.
00:43:43Come on!
00:43:54What do you think you're doing?
00:43:55I assigned her.
00:43:56What will you have to touch her?
00:43:57Know your place, housekeeper.
00:43:58A lowly slave is supposed to do the dirty work.
00:44:00This is Lady Catherine's order.
00:44:02Martha wanted to stand up for me,
00:44:04but Lady Catherine is the Duke's daughter.
00:44:06There was nothing she could do,
00:44:07and I didn't want Martha making enemies because of me.
00:44:10I accept the punishment.
00:44:25Take a break.
00:44:26If you keep this up, your hands will be ruined.
00:44:29Let me help you.
00:44:42Lady Catherine ordered that she must finish it all by herself.
00:44:49You idiot!
00:44:51You have no idea who she is!
00:44:54Her husband is...
00:44:58A mere housekeeper dares to yell at me?
00:45:01Since your heart bleeds for her so much,
00:45:03you can get punished right alongside...
00:45:31Lady Catherine,
00:45:32this ring is engraved with a royal totem.
00:45:36This belongs to the prince.
00:45:38Tina, you know what to do.
00:45:40Something like this shouldn't be in the hands of a cheap maid.
00:45:48This ring belongs to a noble!
00:45:51You filthy bitch!
00:45:52You thief!
00:45:53How dare you steal!
00:45:59I wasn't going to lose the ring this time, no matter what.
00:46:02You cheap thief!
00:46:05Since you want it so badly,
00:46:07I'll burn you and this ring to ashes together!
00:46:28You worthless slave!
00:46:30How dare you lay a hand on me!
00:46:38Set up the stake immediately!
00:46:40I want her dead right now!
00:46:43Yes, Lady Catherine.
00:46:45They're going to kill the prince's wife?
00:46:47No!
00:46:48I have to report this to the duke immediately!
00:46:52Duke Edmund,
00:46:53I hope you don't mind that I've settled Leora in your castle for her trial.
00:46:58Rest assured, your majesty.
00:47:00She is the prince's wife, after all.
00:47:02I will take good care of her.
00:47:04Terrible news!
00:47:05Lady Catherine has lost her mind!
00:47:07She's tying Lady Liva to the stake to burn her alive!
00:47:26Look at you, you lowly bug.
00:47:30You're about to be turned to ashes.
00:47:35Stop!
00:47:36Put out that fire!
00:47:41How dare you speak to me!
00:47:43This lowly slave stole a noble's magic ring.
00:47:46By law, she deserves to burn at the stake.
00:47:49No one is going to stop this.
00:47:51You!
00:47:52You rebellious wretch!
00:47:53Shut your mouth!
00:47:57The duke lunged forward like a madman
00:47:59and slapped Catherine hard across the face.
00:48:02Father!
00:48:03You're hitting me over some cheap slave!
00:48:09Do you have any idea who she is?
00:48:15She's nothing but a maid!
00:48:18I don't care!
00:48:19She has to die today!
00:48:21I'm going to burn her to ashes!
00:48:27Father!
00:48:28What's possessed you?
00:48:30Why would you hit me to protect a pathetic maid?
00:48:33She stole from a noble!
00:48:42Nonsense!
00:48:43It hasn't been proven that she stole the ring!
00:48:46This concerns the reputation of the duke's estate!
00:48:49We must investigate this thoroughly!
00:48:58This slut must have used some bewitching trick
00:49:01to beguile all of you!
00:49:03For the dignity of the nobility,
00:49:06you lowly slave must die today!
00:49:09No!
00:49:10No!
00:49:11No!
00:49:11No!
00:49:12No!
00:49:40Leora, are you okay?
00:49:41Leaning against his chest, tears spilled from my eyes.
00:49:45But panic quickly set in.
00:49:47Rhaegar had laid hands on the Duke's daughter just to save me.
00:49:50Rhaegar, are you crazy?
00:49:52This is the Duke's territory.
00:49:54Trespassing and injuring the Duke's daughter is a capital fence.
00:49:59Lord Duke! Have mercy!
00:50:01It's all my fault. I'll take all the blame. Please let him go.
00:50:05Leora!
00:50:05As long as I could save his life, I was willing to give up everything.
00:50:14My lord, I admit to my crimes. Please forgive me.
00:50:21Rhaegar and I knelt in the driving snow, waiting for our punishment.
00:50:27You injured my daughter, and by the rules, you must be severely punished.
00:50:32I sentence Leora to three days of confinement in the Frost Cellarge.
00:50:36Thank you for your mercy, Lord Duke.
00:50:39I never expected the punishment to be so light.
00:50:42Just three days of confinement.
00:50:43I happily cow-toed to thank the Duke.
00:50:49Seeing that I was safe, Rhaegar left once again.
00:50:55The Frost Cellar was freezing, but to my surprise, Martha brought me a heavy coat and a brazier.
00:51:10Didn't the Duke send me here to be punished?
00:51:13The Duke specifically ordered me to take good care of you.
00:51:16Just rest easy for these three days and let your wounds heal.
00:51:19Martha and the Duke's attitude toward me felt so strange.
00:51:23What in the world was going on?
00:51:28My lords, Leora has been settled in. The brazier and food have all been prepared.
00:51:33You may leave.
00:51:39Father Leora was almost burnt alive today.
00:51:42How much longer does this damn trial have to go on?
00:51:46Ragian, the trial has reached its final stage.
00:51:50Once she passes my test, you can announce to the entire Empire that Leora is your queen.
00:51:56She will absolutely pass. I believe in her.
00:51:59I thought I was living peacefully, completely unaware.
00:52:03That the danger had never stopped.
00:52:07Why on earth does a cheap slave get to enjoy a brazier and good food while locked in the cellar?
00:52:15Lady Catherine, should we make our move?
00:52:18This time, I want to watch her get torn to shreds with my own eyes.
00:52:26Is everything ready?
00:52:29Don't worry, my lady.
00:52:31I've starved them for three days and three nights.
00:52:49I could faintly hear some blood-drecking grounds,
00:52:52but I didn't see anything unusual.
00:52:56But I didn't see anything unusual.
00:53:01Go on, rip her to shreds.
00:53:14Go on, rip her to shreds.
00:53:33The cellar's iron door was forced open.
00:53:37Catherine's twisted face emerged from the shadows, with Tina behind her tightly gripping a thick iron chain.
00:53:44Catherine, what else do you want?
00:53:47The Duke has already handed down my punishment.
00:53:51You can't just do whatever you want!
00:53:55Do you really think my father would go against my wishes for a lowly slave?
00:54:02Tina was holding back three massive, vicious wolves.
00:54:11Release them!
00:54:13Let my darlings have a good taste of this peasant's flesh!
00:54:22Terror instantly flooded my mind, pale-faced.
00:54:26I kept backing away, until a stone tripped me, and I fell.
00:54:38I'll come collect your corpse first thing tomorrow morning.
00:54:42There was no way out, and Reyes wasn't here.
00:54:45Watching the savage wolves close in, I closed my eyes in total despair.
00:55:06I waited hopelessly for death to come, but the pain I expected never arrived.
00:55:10A beam of holy light appeared right in front of me.
00:55:21I recognized him. He was the old man who spoke up for me at the square.
00:55:25You're the old man who was with the Duke. Why did you save me?
00:55:34Give it back! That's Reyes' token to me!
00:55:40This is a sacred blood path. As long as you swear in blood to leave your pathetic tramp of a
00:55:47husband forever,
00:55:48not only will you walk out of here alive, but you'll also receive endless wealth.
00:55:54But if you refuse, and insist on choosing this ring, you will die in this ice cellar, just like those
00:56:02three wolves.
00:56:03He gave me two choices. On one side, power and wealth. On the other, death, and a beggar who had
00:56:10absolutely nothing.
00:56:11It was a cruel test.
00:56:17My choice is...
00:56:26But compared to losing Rhaegar, all this power and wealth meant absolutely nothing.
00:56:31I don't care about your wealth.
00:56:34I only want him.
00:56:40Even if I die here, I will never abandon Rhaegon.
00:56:45Do it.
00:56:49I made my choice, and I saw him cast a spell.
00:56:53I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for the end.
00:57:00Congratulations, Leora.
00:57:03You have passed the trial.
00:57:05Trial?
00:57:07What on earth are you talking about?
00:57:09You are brave and loyal.
00:57:12Now, I will tell you the whole truth.
00:57:25Damn it!
00:57:27Why does someone always save this cheap slave?
00:57:30My lady, the frost magic core that sustains this teller is buried right underneath.
00:57:36If we detonate it, the entire cellar will cave in, and no one can save them.
00:57:47Good! She must die today!
00:57:51Detonate it right now! I'm going to blow them to pieces!
00:58:06The old man was about to tell me the truth, but suddenly, the ground beneath my feet started shaking.
00:58:12What's going on? An earthquake?
00:58:15Get out! Quick!
00:58:16Neither of us had time to react.
00:58:18A terrifying force surged from beneath us, throwing me off balance and hard onto the ground.
00:58:24Before I could process it, and a devastating explosion shattered the stone floor from below, boulders came crashing down on
00:58:31us.
00:58:31I was paralyzed on the ground with nowhere to run, but the old man threw himself in front of me,
00:58:37and cast a protection spell.
00:58:39But the force of the collapse was too terrifying.
00:58:42Countless huge rocks smashed against the magic barrier with a sickening cracking sound, and the old man was severely injured
00:58:49because of it.
00:58:50Watch out!
00:58:51The magic barrier completely shattered under the relentless bombardment of boulders.
00:58:56An avalanche of falling rocks, and heavy chunks of ice instantly buried her.
00:59:03The Selen was reduced to ruins.
00:59:06Luckily, we survived.
00:59:08The old man had been crushed by a boulder while trying to save me.
00:59:11He was bleeding profusely.
00:59:14Hey! How are you holding up?
00:59:17I couldn't just watch him die like this.
00:59:21I had a little bit of healing magic to help him.
00:59:27No!
00:59:33Ryaga, your judgment is right.
00:59:36This is the Empire's most perfect queen.
00:59:40I poured everything into healing him, hoping we could hold on until rescue arrived.
00:59:49That direction is... the cellar!
00:59:52Leora!
00:59:58It's finally over.
00:59:59That lowly slave and that meddlesome fool are dead under this pile of rubble.
01:00:04With a collapse this severe, they won't even find a single bone.
01:00:18What? What did you do to the people inside?
01:00:22I had Tina detonate the magic core. They must be crushed flat by the rocks. It's just a filthy slave.
01:00:32Why are you so freaked out?
01:00:33You lunatic! Quick, order everyone to dig right now! If we don't save them, our entire family will suffer unimaginable
01:00:40consequences!
01:00:42Father, have you lost your mind? They're just cheap slaves. Who cares if they die?
01:00:54Father, you...
01:00:56Father, you...
01:00:58Father, you...
01:01:21Father, you...
01:01:22I heard Rayas' voice. He came to save me.
01:01:26Where is Lyera? What happened to her?
01:01:29Your Highness, are you looking for that lowly slave? Stop looking! She and that meddlesome old man are buried under
01:01:36this pile of rocks! They're dead and gone!
01:01:40Your highness, I will send men to rescue them immediately.
01:01:46I'm going to bury you with them!
01:01:48Your highness, why are you raising arms against me over a lonely slave?
01:01:53All of you are turning against me for that slave!
01:01:55A slave? She is the future queen of the empire.
01:01:59And that old man you buried down there with her is my father, the king of the empire!
01:02:06The queen and the king? Oh my god, what have we done?
01:02:09No!
01:02:12Your entire family can prepare to join them in the grave!
01:02:19Regan!
01:02:20I'm here!
01:02:25Regar noticed my cry for help.
01:02:29Laura!
01:02:48Thank the gods, you're alive.
01:02:51Leaning into his familiar embrace, the sheer willpower I had been running on finally relaxed.
01:03:00If this child hadn't risked her life to cast healing magic on me, I would already be a corpse.
01:03:07It was simply the right thing to do.
01:03:13Suddenly, the old man transformed.
01:03:22His clothes, his face.
01:03:24He was the king of the empire.
01:03:27It really is the king!
01:03:33The king looked at me gently and declared that I had passed the royal trial.
01:03:38Leora, congratulations.
01:03:41You have passed the royal trial.
01:03:44A trial?
01:03:46Just as I was feeling confused, Rhaean told me the truth.
01:03:50I'm sorry for hiding my identity.
01:03:53I am the prince of the empire, and you are the only one I acknowledge as my queen.
01:03:59Rhaegar told me that to become the queen, one must pass the royal trial.
01:04:04And as of this moment, I had passed it.
01:04:07His majesty handed down the punishment to the duke and the others.
01:04:11Your majesty!
01:04:12My daughter Catherine was foolish.
01:04:14Please spare her life.
01:04:16I am willing to accept any punishment.
01:04:19Then half of your territory shall be stripped from you as punishment.
01:04:25Thank you, your majesty.
01:04:27Raffaeus had saved me once again.
01:04:30He took me away from the castle, deciding to bring me home and announce my existence to the entire empire.
01:04:45Leora.
01:04:46To become the queen, you must possess a soul that bends to no power.
01:04:50This is a centuries-old royal tradition.
01:04:52It was never my intention to deceive you.
01:04:55Can you forgive me?
01:04:57The royal trial was cruel and ruthless, but the look in his eyes held only pure love.
01:05:03Seeing his tense face filled with guilt, I chose to forgive him.
01:05:08Rhaean, I love you for who you are, whether you're an exile or a prince.
01:05:12As long as you don't betray me, I'm willing to stand by your side.
01:05:19Leora.
01:05:21Leora.
01:05:22My wife.
01:05:23I love you.
01:05:40Since Leora has passed the royal trial, there's no need to wait.
01:05:44Pass down my decree.
01:05:46Begin preparations for the grandest royal wedding immediately.
01:05:49Your majesty, thank you so much for your kindness, but a wedding isn't necessary.
01:05:54Rhaucis and I have already made our vows in the church.
01:05:57Though it was a simple ceremony, it's the most precious memory of my life.
01:06:02Since Rhaecis has chosen you, I won't let you suffer any more grievances.
01:06:07This is what you deserve.
01:06:11It's alright, Leora.
01:06:13You deserve the best this world has to offer.
01:06:15I want to announce to the whole continent that you are the one and only future lady of
01:06:20Arthurian Empire.
01:06:24Right, whatever you say.
01:06:29The date is set for the holy fire sacrifice in three days.
01:06:34I want to personally crown you under the witness of all our people and the gods.
01:06:49Looking up at the solemn temple, I couldn't stop feeling nervous.
01:06:53In my past life, I endured endless cold stares and schemes from the nobles here, and even
01:06:59lost my life.
01:07:01This time, I have someone by my side.
01:07:06I've waited too long for this day.
01:07:08Today, under the witness of the holy fire, I'm going to announce to the whole continent
01:07:13that you are my one and only love and the sole queen of the empire.
01:07:18The royal rules are so strict.
01:07:21I'm afraid I might stop at this grand ceremony, and it'll reflect badly on you.
01:07:28Silly.
01:07:28With me here, you don't need to bow your head to anyone, much less worry about a thing.
01:07:33Leave everything to me, and get ready to embrace the glory that belongs to you.
01:08:00Something urgent came up that I need to handle right now.
01:08:04Take this runestone and go straight to the oracle's prime seat, on the top floor of the
01:08:08temple, and wait for me.
01:08:09That seat belongs only to you.
01:08:14Okay, I'll wait for you there.
01:08:17I know that when he next appears in front of everyone, he will be the sole prince of
01:08:22Aetherian, and I will be at the very top, waiting for my husband to come home.
01:08:42Without regard by my side, the nobles who once tried to trample me underfoot were once
01:08:46again giving me greedy and disdainful looks.
01:08:48But I didn't feel a sin of fear anymore.
01:08:50The runestone Rhaegar gave me led me straight to the oracle's prime seat.
01:08:54So this is the place he prepared for me.
01:08:57Stop right there.
01:08:58The queen's restricted area is ahead.
01:09:00Not even a duchess would dare step foot here without a royal decree.
01:09:03What gives a woman without even a noble crust the right to go up?
01:09:06I had no idea I needed to wear a crest.
01:09:09My husband arranged this seat for me.
01:09:15Oh my god, did I hear that right?
01:09:17Your husband, who didn't even have a noble crest, set you up with the queen's exclusive
01:09:21seat.
01:09:21You've got to be joking.
01:09:22A commoner literally throwing her life away for vanity, spouting such a massive in the
01:09:27temple.
01:09:27Do you want the inquisition guard to hang you on the spot?
01:09:33This is the proof my husband gave me.
01:09:50This is the unique royal mark.
01:09:52Who exactly are you?
01:09:54Just as I was about to tell them who the owner of this runestone was, a wildly arrogant laugh
01:09:59dripping with raging malice interrupted me.
01:10:01Lyra!
01:10:02Long time no see!
01:10:04I thought I was seeing things, but it really is you!
01:10:08Mia, daughter of Duke Hestia.
01:10:10Before the Valoricious family completely fell from grace, she used to be my old neighbor.
01:10:16She loved throwing herself around at major banquets, desperately trying to marry her way
01:10:21up the social ladder.
01:10:23I heard you married an exile stripped of his name.
01:10:27What?
01:10:28Are you so desperate now that you're stealing royal tokens and coming to a place like this
01:10:32to seduce men?
01:10:33I've never had such filthy thoughts.
01:10:35I'm standing here simply because this seat belongs to me.
01:10:40Still lying.
01:10:41Do you really think you can catch the royal family's attention with some fake stolen runstone?
01:10:47His Highness the Prince is so noble, he'd never bap an eye at a bottom flitter like you
01:10:53who hangs around with exiles.
01:10:55The Duke's family is currently deeply favored by His Majesty.
01:10:58Only someone with noble blood like Lady Mia is worthy of the royal family.
01:11:02Exactly.
01:11:02Who knows, after today's sacrifice ceremony, Lady Mia might just become the future queen
01:11:06of the empire.
01:11:07There's no room for a peasant like you to make a fool of yourself here.
01:11:10If they only knew that the exile they've been trampling on and humiliating was the very
01:11:13prince they revere so much, the look on their faces would be absolutely priceless.
01:11:20Is that so?
01:11:22Are you really that confident that you can become the queen?
01:11:28Mind your own business!
01:11:30Even if that queen's throne isn't mine, it definitely won't go to a lower-class peasant
01:11:35like you!
01:11:37Don't think I don't know your game.
01:11:38You sneak into the temple with a fake runstone just to find a chance to seduce His Highness
01:11:43the Prince.
01:11:44You're so shameless!
01:11:45In Mia's mind, the only reason a woman would try so hard to stand here is to sell herself
01:11:51for power.
01:11:52She doesn't get it at all.
01:11:53I couldn't care less about any of that.
01:11:55Look everyone, Lyora Velatis threw away her noble status to marry a penless, disgraced
01:12:01exiled.
01:12:02She definitely reeks of a cursed stench!
01:12:08Good heavens!
01:12:10How did an exiled's family member get into the temple?
01:12:13Look at how ragged she is.
01:12:14She's practically polluting this holy ground.
01:12:16No wonder I felt a foul aura getting near her.
01:12:19Kick her out right now before her dilty curse rubs off on us!
01:12:23Guards!
01:12:23What are you standing around for?
01:12:25Grab this wretch and toss her out of the temple right now!
01:12:37Open your eyes and take a good look.
01:12:39Look, this is a Top Gear Royal token.
01:12:42Let's see who dares touch me today.
01:12:46You idiots!
01:12:48This is just some junk a street rat uses to scam people!
01:12:51Don't let this lying bitch fool you!
01:12:55Give it back!
01:12:58Oops!
01:12:59I'm so sorry.
01:13:00My hand slipped.
01:13:02This stone might actually command royal authority.
01:13:05But to me, it's just my husband's token of love.
01:13:09Mia didn't just smash a rock.
01:13:10She smashed her own family's lifeline.
01:13:14Mia, I promise you.
01:13:16You're going to regret this foolish act today.
01:13:18Regret?
01:13:19That's hilarious!
01:13:21I smashed a piece of trash you picked up from the street.
01:13:24So what?
01:13:26What are you going to demand?
01:13:27I buy you a throne in return?
01:13:36Guards!
01:13:38As the daughter of a duke,
01:13:40I order you to throw this crazy woman out immediately!
01:13:47Since Lady Mia gave the order,
01:13:49get out, you crazy woman!
01:13:50You have no right to kick me out of the temple.
01:13:53The Holy Fire sacrifice is a sacred moment for the Empire
01:13:56that only happens once a century.
01:13:57If you screw up the ceremony,
01:13:59can you afford to take the blame?
01:14:02You bitch!
01:14:03I'm going to teach you a lesson today!
01:14:06Please calm down, Lady Mia.
01:14:07She's right.
01:14:07The sacrifice ceremony allows every citizen of the Empire to attend.
01:14:11We really don't have the authority to throw her out.
01:14:13The ceremony's about to start,
01:14:14and His Highness the Prince will arrive at any moment.
01:14:16If you make a scene now and disturb him,
01:14:18it'll mean big trouble.
01:14:21Consider yourself lucky.
01:14:23Consider yourself lucky.
01:14:23But if you're staying for the ceremony,
01:14:24you need to stay where you belong.
01:14:26Kick her to the commoner's area at the very back.
01:14:30It's filthy and rough down.
01:14:33Completely fitting for her.
01:14:36Don't let her stench of poverty offend His Highness the Prince.
01:14:41Normally, I'd never let her humiliate me like this.
01:14:44But today is different.
01:14:46Rayon prepared for this ceremony for far too long.
01:14:49I can't ruin his plans just for a moment of spite.
01:14:52You don't need to push me.
01:14:53I can walk myself.
01:14:57I'll make you all understand that your true identity
01:14:59doesn't change just because of where you sit.
01:15:08If it were my past life,
01:15:10I'd probably think this was a massive humiliation.
01:15:12But now,
01:15:13compared to the hypocritical scheming up in the noble seats,
01:15:16I actually feel at ease here.
01:15:19Maya always thinks a seating arrangement
01:15:21dictates a person's worth.
01:15:22She has no idea that true brilliance
01:15:24never needs to be proven by stepping on others.
01:15:29The ceremony is starting.
01:15:31Riala said he'd come right after he finishes his business.
01:15:34All I need to do is wait for him here quietly.
01:15:36How is this fair?
01:15:38You've fallen so low,
01:15:39yet you still act like you're so high and mighty.
01:15:42Just die!
01:15:48Impossible!
01:15:49What the hell was that?
01:16:22Arpus Bishop Seraph.
01:16:23In my past life,
01:16:25his eye of truth saw through so many of the noble's filthy schemes.
01:16:29He was also the only one who didn't trample on me.
01:16:33Mia always wears her ambition on her sleeve.
01:16:37She thinks as long as she bows low enough
01:16:39and acts pious enough,
01:16:40the Arts Bishop will naturally bless her,
01:16:43paving her way to becoming the queen.
01:16:58Under the shocked gaze of thousands of top Triart's elites,
01:17:02this highly esteemed Archbishop,
01:17:04someone even the King shows deference to
01:17:06has stepped into this corner.
01:17:10The Archbishop must have seen the cursed filth on that bitch Leora.
01:17:15Leora,
01:17:17I am going to watch you get judged by divine power
01:17:20and be torn to pieces.
01:17:24Everyone thinks I'm just garbage waiting to be swept away.
01:17:28Too bad they guessed wrong.
01:17:41The Royal Guards failed in their duty,
01:17:43letting Her Highness the Queen suffer
01:17:45such indignity in this filthy place.
01:17:49I deserve a thousand deaths.
01:18:02Queen?
01:18:03Impossible!
01:18:05Look closely, Your Grace.
01:18:07She's just an exiled wife who married a pupit!
01:18:17Ignorant fool!
01:18:18Are you blind?
01:18:20She wears the royal ring on her finger.
01:18:23What right do you have to question the queen here?
01:18:30Impossible!
01:18:31Your Grace!
01:18:31Grace, you must have mistaken her for someone else.
01:18:33She was abandoned by her family
01:18:35and publicly chose a begging egg-aziled.
01:18:37The whole world, Daryl, knows this.
01:18:42Insolence towards the queen must be punished.
01:19:11So this is how he was always meant to look.
01:19:14This farce aimed at me is finally coming to an end.
01:19:27I'm sorry I'm late.
01:19:29Honestly, whether he is wearing rags or heavy royal armor,
01:19:33as long as the way he looks at me hasn't changed,
01:19:35he is still the husband I chose back then.
01:19:38Were you the one who just said,
01:19:41my wife isn't worthy to sit here?
01:19:48Your Highness!
01:19:49Let me explain!
01:19:50It's truly a misunderstanding!
01:19:52I really didn't know Leora was her Highness, the Queen!
01:19:55If I had Noon,
01:19:57I wouldn't have shown her an ounce of disrespect!
01:20:04How do you want to punish her?
01:20:08Your Highness!
01:20:10Stay your wrath!
01:20:12I acted foolishly and without thought.
01:20:15I beg you, pardon my ignorance this once.
01:20:18You angered my wife.
01:20:20Begging me is useless.
01:20:23Your Grace, the Queen!
01:20:25Our houses were once neighbors after all.
01:20:28By our old bond,
01:20:29please speak a word of grace on my behalf.
01:20:31You repent not out of true remorse,
01:20:34but only because I am your Queen.
01:20:36If the person sitting here today
01:20:38were truly just a commoner without any background,
01:20:41they'd probably have no choice
01:20:43but to swallow all that humoration in silence.
01:20:45Since she made a mistake,
01:20:47don't use old ties as an excuse.
01:20:48She should face whatever punishment
01:20:50the Imperial Law dictates.
01:20:55Mia, daughter of the Duke,
01:20:58has blasphemed the Queen
01:20:59with malicious intent.
01:21:02She is hereby stripped of her surname
01:21:04and permanently banished from the city!
01:21:10Watching them get thrown out like trash,
01:21:13I don't even feel the slightest thrill of revenge.
01:21:16I just find it absurd.
01:21:18Let go of me!
01:21:19Even the most arrogant nobles
01:21:20can get scared of me.
01:21:21Father, save me!
01:21:23I don't want to be kicked out!
01:21:25It is all a scam.
01:21:27Everything's taken care of.
01:21:30Rhaegar, there are too many people here.
01:21:32I can walk up myself.
01:21:34No.
01:21:35I want everyone in this hall
01:21:37to open their eyes and see clearly.
01:21:39From today on, you are mine.
01:21:41No one will ever wrong you again.
01:21:43Back in the Belarus family,
01:21:44whenever I was wronged,
01:21:46Father would just tell me
01:21:47to consider the greater good.
01:21:48So this is what it feels like
01:21:50to be fiercely protected
01:21:52in someone's arms.
01:21:55Mia dreamed of climbing to this position.
01:21:57She always thought she could get everything
01:21:59by stepping on others' dignity,
01:22:01never realizing
01:22:02that it was her own greed and malice
01:22:04that ruined her life.
01:22:06Empire, hear my command.
01:22:09Leora Valoris is the one and only
01:22:11Queen of Othurian!
01:22:12Long live, Her Highness the Queen!
01:22:32Empire, hear my command.
01:22:34I hereby declare
01:22:35that during this moment on,
01:22:37all discriminant laws
01:22:38against exiles within the Empire
01:22:40are completely abolished.
01:22:45Because I, too,
01:22:46was once that exile
01:22:47you so casually trampled on.
01:22:49And the Queen
01:22:50you just relentlessly humiliated
01:22:51was my only salvation
01:22:54when I was trapped in the dark!
01:22:55In the past,
01:22:56all I wanted was a simple life
01:22:58free of scheming.
01:22:59I never expected that Raphos
01:23:01would not only save me,
01:23:03but almost personally dismantle
01:23:04all the injustices of this world
01:23:06for my sake.
01:23:07How lucky I am to have met him.
01:23:25Light the Holy Fire!
01:23:27Burn every last one
01:23:29of those shameful registries
01:23:30that track exiles
01:23:31in the lower class!
01:23:35Watching the fire
01:23:37consume everything,
01:23:38the cage of social class
01:23:40that trapped me
01:23:40for two lifetimes
01:23:41finally collapsed.
01:23:43Raka used his power
01:23:44to build a just world for me.
01:23:48From this day forward,
01:23:50the Orthurian Empire
01:23:50has only one faith,
01:23:52and that is my Leora!
01:23:54Insulting her is treason.
01:23:56Defy her means
01:23:57your soul will be obliterated.
01:24:00We obey the royal decree!
01:24:08Rhaen, thank heavens
01:24:09for letting me meet you.
01:24:11Thank you for everything
01:24:12you've given me.
01:24:13No, meeting you
01:24:14was my absolute honor,
01:24:15my queen.
01:24:16The lonesome
01:24:20is undergrowth,
01:24:20my queen.
01:24:21The lumulo
01:24:26of heart
