00:00I want to have your baby, Orpheus.
00:02No. No children.
00:05This contractual marriage is bad enough.
00:07Bringing a child into it would only make it worse.
00:10We've been married for ten years.
00:11Can't you show me a little love?
00:14I said from the start, no sex, no love. Remember?
00:18A contract marriage is still a marriage, and I am still your wife.
00:22Even if you don't love me, after ten years,
00:26don't you care of me even a little bit?
00:40Something happened today.
00:42I was on a volcanic island.
00:44Orpheus, Eris' messenger sprite is looking for you.
00:49Wait a moment.
00:52Eris, Jane.
00:53Orpheus, you really don't care about me.
00:56At all.
00:58Tell Eris. I will arrange it.
01:02Orpheus!
01:04I heard that Aphrodite was injured when the volcano erupted.
01:07What did you say? Didn't you hear?
01:09The temple released a list of the injured, and Aphrodite's name is on it.
01:12Something happened today.
01:14I was on a volcanic island.
01:25Aphrodite, Eryx wants to drink the nectar you brewed.
01:28Please send it to the temple later.
01:29I think she will be grateful for a visit from her friend.
01:32We are not friends.
01:33Then we'll just call it a good deed, okay?
01:35Like what you did for my father.
01:38Do you...
01:39Like her?
01:43Just do as I say, Aphrodite.
01:49Did Orpheus tell you to bring me nectar?
01:51He's always been like that, knowing exactly what I need.
01:55And even since I was a young girl, whatever I want, he gets it for me right away.
02:02I thought it would be better to tell you this news myself rather than have you hear it from Orpheus.
02:10I'm pregnant with Orpheus, child.
02:13What?
02:15I want to have your baby, Orpheus.
02:17No.
02:18No children.
02:20Orpheus was thrilled to hear that I was pregnant.
02:23He said he would personally teach our child how to wield a sword and make him the bravest god on
02:27Mount Olympus.
02:28Yes, my child will one day inherit all that Orpheus has.
02:32All his glory, everything.
02:34Eris, this is a sacred pregnancy.
02:37Orpheus songed it to you.
02:40It turns out Orpheus isn't against having children.
02:44He just doesn't want to have them with me.
02:56My word, she is beautiful.
03:01Hello, I am Dynaseus.
03:03Who are you?
03:04I am Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
03:07I'm looking for Orpheus.
03:08You're Aphrodite?
03:10Orpheus' wife?
03:11Yes.
03:12Is there a problem?
03:14No, Orpheus has mentioned you.
03:17I finally see why Orpheus has always kept you hidden away from the rest of us.
03:21Anyway, Orpheus hasn't returned yet.
03:24Perhaps I can show you around while you wait for him?
03:30This is Osius, where the stars come to bathe at night.
03:33You can see some sprites flittering among them.
03:36That old Renault died.
03:43Aphrodite, what are you doing here?
03:45I saw your name on the list of the injured.
03:48Were you there when the volcano erupted?
03:51Orpheus, save me.
03:52She is only a contractual wife, not a real wife.
03:55No, no children.
03:57I'm pregnant with Orpheus' child.
04:07Orpheus, I want a divorce.
04:10What?
04:13Aphrodite, you must be joking.
04:19The fates said,
04:20if we each put a drop of our blood on this marriage certificate,
04:24our union will be dissolved.
04:26But why?
04:28Why now?
04:29I thought you'd be happy.
04:32Isn't this what you wanted?
04:33You used my father Apollo to gain power on Mount Olympus.
04:37Now that you've gotten what you want,
04:39you want to cast me aside with a divorce?
04:41Believe whatever you want, Orpheus.
04:44I don't care what you think of me anymore.
04:47I waited ten years,
04:49hoping that things would change
04:50and that you would one day care about me.
04:52But now I understand that day will never come.
04:55I've had enough.
05:03Aphrodite!
05:12Aphrodite!
05:16You need to think about Apollo.
05:18He issued the Oracle that brought us together.
05:21You know that his decrees have never been defied.
05:23I respect Apollo,
05:26but I can't live like this anymore.
05:29Put your blood on the paper, Orpheus.
05:31I have bad news!
05:32Apollo has been severely injured in Tartarus!
05:46Apollo!
05:48Apollo was ambushed by the hundred-headed serpent.
05:51His divine soul has been severely damaged
05:54and his power is dissipating.
05:56How can we save him?
05:57It will be difficult.
05:58He must be kept absolutely calm.
06:01He can have no emotional upsets.
06:03Any excitement will cause him to worsen quickly
06:06and his powers will completely desert him.
06:09You've come.
06:11Father Apollo,
06:12how are you?
06:14Having you here eases my pain.
06:16Is there anything we can do for you?
06:17Nothing.
06:18Seeing you two together and happy
06:20is the greatest comfort I could have.
06:23You two are so quiet.
06:25Is something on your mind?
06:28No.
06:29All is fine,
06:30Father.
06:32That's good.
06:34Orpheus,
06:34Aphrodite,
06:35you must treat each other well.
06:39You two are the only ones I care about now.
06:43You heard what the god of medicine said.
06:45Aralo cannot have any emotional upsets now.
06:48If Father knew that you want to divorce me,
06:50it would be a terrible shock.
06:52I don't know if he could survive it.
06:55What are you trying to say, Orpheus?
06:57Until Apollo gets through this critical period,
06:59let's postpone the divorce
07:00and act like a happy, loving couple.
07:02I know it's a lot to ask,
07:05but it's not for my sake,
07:06it's for Apollo.
07:07Please, think about it, Aphrodite.
07:10I love and respect Apollo.
07:12He's been very kind to me.
07:14So I'll go along with this charade,
07:16but don't expect me to like it.
07:19Orpheus,
07:21what on earth did you do to Aphrodite?
07:23She's so upset with you,
07:24she'll do anything to divorce you.
07:27What?
07:28This is just outrageous!
07:30You're on the verge of getting divorced,
07:32now you have to play the loving couple with Orpheus?
07:35Isn't it ridiculous?
07:36I spent ten years trying to make him care about me,
07:38but just when I decided I'd had enough,
07:40he starts being a lot nicer to me.
07:43Aphrodite,
07:43you can't keep doing this.
07:45Every time you give him another chance,
07:48it's always you who gets hurt in the end.
07:50Don't worry,
07:51this is the last time.
07:53So tell me,
07:55is Orpheus
07:56hiding something?
07:59Could it be
08:00he's into male gods?
08:04Impossible!
08:04then
08:05he must be impotent.
08:07What else could it be?
08:09He has the bloodline of the god of light
08:11and possesses divine power,
08:12but maybe his divine power
08:14fails him in the bedchamber.
08:19Impotent.
08:21Is that what you think of me?
08:23Aren't you going to answer my question?
08:27What am I supposed to think?
08:29You haven't touched me once
08:30in ten years.
08:31Because it's not in our contract,
08:33remember?
08:33No sex.
08:34That's what we agreed on.
08:36Of course.
08:38I remember very clearly.
08:39There's no need for you
08:40to keep reminding me.
08:45Are you trying to get me to touch you?
08:47Is this what you want?
08:49Look,
08:50I agreed to maintain the status quo
08:52until Apollo recovers.
08:53I'll keep my promise.
08:54But this marriage is over!
08:56Does she want a divorce
08:58because I don't touch her?
08:59Does she want
09:00to have intercourse with me?
09:02But I've never thought of her that way.
09:04Orpheus,
09:05Dionysus has brewed new wine for you.
09:07He said you could also give it to Aphrodite
09:10as it helps heal wounds.
09:24Orpheus,
09:25what are you doing here?
09:31I just wanted to hold her in my arms.
09:35I've been thinking about what you said.
09:37Do you really want to break the rules of our marriage
09:39and actually be with me?
09:42Yes,
09:43that's exactly what I want.
09:45Why didn't you say something earlier?
09:47Well,
09:47now that I've said it,
09:48what are you going to do?
09:50It's very simple.
09:51next to me,
09:53I'll say
09:55I'll say
09:57I'm sipping on the tea
10:01You've got a decision
10:13Orpheus,
10:14Orpheus,
10:15please
10:15Say it.
10:16Please,
10:18take me.
10:27It was just a dream.
10:31Orpheus,
10:32Aerys' messenger sprite,
10:33came to see you.
10:34I happened to meet her.
10:35and was asked to deliver the message.
10:39Well,
10:40what is it?
10:41Because of her pregnancy,
10:42Aerys is having trouble controlling her powers.
10:44She's afraid that something might happen if she stays alone.
10:46She asks if she can move in with you.
10:50So,
10:51what do you think?
10:53Should we give the Western Palace to Aerys?
10:56Do as you please.
10:58No,
10:59this is your home too.
11:00And your opinion matters, Aphrodite.
11:05It won't matter much longer.
11:07So do whatever you want.
11:10Aerys' deadest father was kind to you.
11:13It's only right that you take care of her now.
11:15But,
11:16moving her into the temple where you and Aphrogides live together?
11:19Isn't that a bit much?
11:21But Aerys is alone and pregnant.
11:23What about Aphrogides?
11:24What will she think of this?
11:25She said it was my decision.
11:27Anyway,
11:27we're getting divorced soon.
11:29Since you two are going your separate ways,
11:31may I, uh,
11:32try my hand with Aphrodite?
11:33What?
11:34You want to romance Aphrodite?
11:35Don't take it personally,
11:37Orpheus.
11:37I've met lots of goddesses,
11:38but Aphrodite is truly special.
11:40So,
11:40what do you say?
11:41Why would it matter to you anyway?
11:43You two are only spouses on paper.
11:45She's her own woman.
11:46She can do what she wants.
11:47I won't interfere.
11:48Wonderful.
11:49Thank you,
11:49Orpheus.
11:50This temple is so much more suitable for a baby than my place.
11:53As soon as I came in,
11:54I felt my power stabilizing.
11:57Orpheus,
11:58thank you for taking me in.
12:00When should we tell Hades that you're pregnant?
12:02He's the father and he should be responsible for the child.
12:07This baby is the result of one drunken night with Hades,
12:10and it was a big mistake.
12:11I don't plan to tell him I'm pregnant.
12:14Where's Aphrodite?
12:15Is she in the Temple of Eras?
12:24Are you okay?
12:32Are you going out?
12:34I have a prior engagement.
12:36Aphrodite!
12:41Aphrodite,
12:42you're so beautiful.
12:43So you're going out with him?
12:45Time for us to go,
12:46Dionysus.
12:47Come,
12:47my lady.
12:52Well,
12:53we're off.
12:53See you later.
13:00Before our date officially starts,
13:03let me give you my miraculous ointment.
13:05It will prevent any scarring from your wounds.
13:14If this hurts at all,
13:15let me know.
13:16I have lots of other medicines here.
13:23Orpheus never took care of me like this.
13:25Well,
13:26I'm not Orpheus.
13:29Orpheus,
13:29I have a headache.
13:30Could you give me a massage?
13:32Just,
13:33uh,
13:33rest a bit.
13:34Or I can call us Repheus to check on you.
13:39Okay.
13:41Go and bring Aphrodite back.
13:43Damned Aphrodite.
13:45I'm not going to let you take Orpheus away from me.
13:51My goodness,
13:52Dionysus,
13:52the wine you brew is delicious.
13:55Wait,
13:56don't move.
13:57I may love you.
13:59I may love you.
14:03I may love you.
