Short filmTranscript
00:00My wedding is hours away, and my fiancé just ran off to tend to his childhood sweetheart.
00:17Don't be petty. If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the mating ceremony.
00:21Then postpone the mating ceremony.
00:24I called my seven-year nemesis instead.
00:26I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony. Care to do me a favor?
00:32Sylvia's really running a fever, and her wolf is weak.
00:36Every time she's been sick since we were kids, I've been by her side. I can't rest easy otherwise.
00:43Ethan's voice came through the phone, but it couldn't hurt me anymore.
00:47On my birthday, Sylvia got jostled at the high-end ball and ended up with bruises on her arm.
00:53He left me that same night, to go tend to her dot on our anniversary.
00:57Sylvia got gossiped about at moonlight for me.
00:59Bring what people call called an omega, who latches onto others.
01:04She felt so wronged.
01:06Ethan left me to comfort her, the entire night.
01:10Even the night before our wedding, Sylvia said she had a fever.
01:14He dropped me immediately, and traveled across miles, just to sit by her bedside.
01:26Ethan, I'm asking one last time. Can you make it back for the noon ceremony or not?
01:32Lydia, I'm at Sylvia's work site right now. It's three hours to the nearest airport. I can't make it.
01:39Just postpone the ceremony for one day, all right?
01:44Postpone? My family is decorating the wedding house with me right now.
01:47All our pack members and guests are either at the Moonbloom altar already or on their way.
01:53You're telling me to postpone? What am I supposed to tell them?
02:01Lydia?
02:01Tell them what? That my fiancé is a thousand miles away with another she-wolf?
02:07That you're a cheating fiancé? That she's a slut who stole you?
02:13Lydia, what's between me and Sylvia isn't what you think. Don't be so petty.
02:22Petty?
02:23You and Sylvia should just get married on the spot, signing your mate bond right now.
02:27Why waste all these years of mine?
02:28Four years. I've watched their acting for four years. I'm tired. I delivered my final ultimatum dot.
02:33If you can't make it back today, we're done.
02:36Lydia, I understand you're emotionally unstable out of your jealousy, but like I said, I just can't make it back.
02:42If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the wedding!
02:46With that, he hung up in a huffed dot, as if I was the one in the wrong all along
02:50dot.
02:51I was wrong. I brought this on myself dot, but from now on, never again.
02:55People rushed in through the door. They saw the smashed picture frames and froze.
03:01Leah, what happened? What did that bastard Ethan say?
03:05Don't hurt yourself. Let me smash.
03:09The wedding room was a disaster zone.
03:13Forget it. No wedding is better than this.
03:16I will tell your father to explain it to your grandfather.
03:22Who says I'm not getting married?
03:24What?
03:28I dialed my arch nemesis, Orion Silvermoon, the Silvermoon Noble representative on the council.
03:34Future Duke of Silvermoon dot back in school.
03:36I came from Shadowmoon commoners.
03:38He was Silvermoon nobility.
03:40We fought for every ranking.
03:41On the council, I represented the Shadowmoon district, while he led the younger generation of the Noble faction.
03:48We argued countless times.
03:49For years, he blocked what was mine, and I took what was his.
03:53Everyone thought we were fire and ice.
04:00I was about to hang up when it connected.
04:03His voice carried a hint of hesitation.
04:05Hello?
04:07Lydia?
04:07Whatever.
04:08Orion Silvermoon was the only one I could think of who might actually say yes.
04:13When he found out I was getting married, he joked.
04:17Wouldn't it be great if you married me instead?
04:20Then we wouldn't have to be arch enemies anymore, mating each other and becoming power couple.
04:25Today, I could lose love, but I could not lose my dignity dot.
04:29This wedding must happen.
04:32Yeah, it's me.
04:33I, I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony, Mr. Orion Silvermoon.
04:39Would you mind attending my wedding and signing a mating contract with me?
04:42Lydia, signing a mating contract?
04:45One second, two seconds, three.
04:48My heart pounded harder.
04:49Disappointment started to creep in.
04:53Lydia, what kind of joke is this?
04:55If, if you don't want to, then forget.
04:57I do.
04:59You, you said yes?
05:02Yeah, I said yes, but let me make this clear.
05:05I'm not being just a tool.
05:08What do you mean?
05:09Orion Silvermoon.
05:10Doesn't wed a fake mate.
05:12I want a real one.
05:13Someone who can lie beside me.
05:16Someone I can feel flesh and blood, warmth.
05:19You understand?
05:21Deal.
05:25Deal.
05:29So, what do I need to do now?
05:31Get to the Moonbloom altar before 11 a.m. for our ceremony.
05:36Also, we need a wedding house.
05:38Got it.
05:39Leave that to me.
05:40I promise you won't be disappointed.
05:45Orion Silvermoon?
05:46Is that the same Orion Silvermoon you call your arch-nemese on the council?
05:50Yes.
05:51But that, that can't work.
05:52What if he takes advantage of you?
05:54What if he screws you over?
05:55Why not, Auntie?
05:56I think it's great.
05:58Orion Silvermoon.
05:59The council represent us just like Lydia, and he is the only heir of the Duke of Silvermoon.
06:04Way better than that two-tipping jerk, Ethan Ashford, who thinks his diplomatic official
06:08title makes him special.
06:10Orion Silvermoon and I were just using each other, Dot.
06:13But it didn't matter.
06:15All I wanted was for this ceremony to go on.
06:18I wouldn't lose face because of Ethan Ashford, and I definitely wouldn't let my family lose
06:24face because of me.
06:27You'd better think carefully.
06:28If you don't postpone and end up without a mate at the altar, your family will be the
06:32one humiliated in public.
06:34Either way, the Ashford family won't be attending.
06:37The wedding will not be delayed.
06:39Stop throwing a tantrum.
06:40Don't be so unreasonable.
06:41The Ashford family has noble blesestery.
06:44We're a political dynasty now.
06:46Everyone married to our family is well-behaved and obedient.
06:49Lydia, you aren't checking to woman's amli.
06:51You see also he roaring.
06:53Guy being like a fierce nap.
06:54I hung up.
06:55Couldn't be bothered to listen to their nonsense anymore.
06:58Dot, Mary, into the Ashford family, and suffer dreaming on...
07:05The Ashford family prided themselves on their noble bloodline.
07:09Except they'd lost their noble title generations ago.
07:13All that remained was their last name and their delusional self-importance.
07:17Even the wedding house I was standing in right now, my parents had bought it because they
07:22thought Ashford's chosen house was too run down.
07:25So this one near my family home was meant to be a gift for the newlyweds after the ceremony.
07:32Once, I saw this place as the start of the happy life I'd been waiting for.
07:36Now, it was evidence of my poor judgment and misplaced trust in the cheater.
07:42After smashing the last photo, I went back home and told the makeup artist to start.
07:50Look at this place.
07:54Look at this place.
07:55Look at her.
07:57There was no groom's procession coming from the Ashford family anymore.
08:01But tradition said, the bride still had to departure from her family house with her relatives and
08:07head to the Moonbloom altar.
08:09I knew that, even though I'd asked Orion to save the ceremony at the altar, I'd have to
08:15play the part alone until I got there.
08:17No matter how hard it was, I was going to play this role wonderful today dot.
08:21But what I never expected happened.
08:23As we were getting ready to leave, the sound of lutes and ballads floated up from downstairs.
08:40Lydia, groom is here!
08:43I quickly finished dressing and went downstairs.
08:55What the hell exclamation Orion Silvermoon and I were four years of competing in school,
09:01three years of fighting on the council.
09:03I'd known him for seven years.
09:05I'd always known that behind his gentlemanly nobility facade, you should never be fooled
09:10by his handsome looks into messing with him dot.
09:12But right now, in this moment, I had no way back.
09:16Orion Silvermoon, what are you doing with this huge spectacle?
09:20I'm marrying you.
09:23I'm marrying you.
09:25Mark me.
09:38There you come, the loving pair.
09:44Orion's father, His Grace the Duke of Silvermoon.
09:47I'd crossed paths with him a few times on the council, but Orion's mother, I was meeting
09:52for the first time.
09:54Orion told me his future mate was exceptionally pretty, seeing now, truly stunning.
10:00Here you come, Lydia.
10:02No wonder our son chased his mate for so long.
10:05Don't you agree, Nolan?
10:06Orion chased for so long?
10:08What?
10:08Your Grace, excuse us.
10:13Off you go, young lovers.
10:15You...
10:16Didn't I tell you to just go straight to the Moonbloom altar?
10:19That's what I'm doing, picking up my bride and going.
10:21What, mad?
10:22Hey, hey, Lydia Vouse.
10:24I told you.
10:25I'm fine with getting married, but I refuse to be a prop.
10:27You want to save face, don't I?
10:29If I go straight to the altar and make my bride walk out of her own family home alone, what
10:32do you think people will say about me?
10:37I...
10:37Okay, I get it.
10:39How did you manage to arrange all this in just two hours?
10:42Compared to you, this is nothing.
10:45What?
10:46Nothing.
10:47My bride, shouldn't we get going?
10:49Any later, and we'll be cutting it close.
10:55Orion, pick her up, hurry!
10:58The wolf pack honored strength.
11:00A bride leaving her family home had to be carried to the wedding car by her groom.
11:05But before today, I never would have imagined the one giving me this wedding lift would...
11:09Orion's silver move?
11:13In my memory, this guy had a venomous tongue.
11:16If words alone could kill, I'd have died a thousand times by his mouth.
11:21Back in school, summer camp was when girls' feelings grew.
11:25The heat, the outdoor bonding were perfect conditions for sweet romance.
11:30Back then, I sort of liked the tall, handsome school quarterback.
11:34Once, I was just about to successfully play the damsel in distress and get him to carry
11:40my water bottle.
11:41When that jerk Orion Silvermoon said,
11:43Lydia Vant, did you break your hand?
11:45She's tired from the hike.
11:46That bottle is heavy.
11:47Let me carry it for her.
11:54Think you can carry it now?
11:55The scene was so awkward.
11:57The quarterback was pretty embarrassed too.
11:59He never talked to me again, and my sweet school romance died right there in its cradle.
12:04After that, he got even worse.
12:06He kept popping up out of nowhere to mess with me.
12:09Every chance I had to get close to a handsome guy, he ruined it.
12:12After graduation, I found a relationship, joined the council, and had both career and love.
12:19I thought I'd finally say goodbye to troublesome Orion for good, but we ran right into each other
12:24again on the council.
12:25He was the next leader of the noble faction.
12:27I was the rising star from the commoner side.
12:30We were always on opposite sides of the chamber, fighting teeth and nail.
12:35And even now, in his arms, I felt cherished, seen, loved.
12:40Focus on me.
12:42No thinking about others, my bride.
12:47Can't wait to leave your mark on me, can you, my mate?
12:49You are Orion's still a pest.
12:54Noon, the moon bloom altar.
12:56The ceremony began.
12:57Wasn't the groom supposed to be Ethan Ashford?
12:59This one is way all or grub the taller and way more handsome than Ethan Ashford.
13:03Lydia switched grooms at the last second?
13:05Wait, he's wearing Silvermoon noble crest?
13:07Juicy!
13:09I looked at the guests, about to explain, but Orion Silvermoon beat me to it.
13:20Dear families and friends, I am Orion Silvermoon, and I am Lydia Vounce's mate.
13:26Today, thank you all for coming to our wedding, to witness how our love has finally found its
13:31way here.
13:31Orion's mouth.
13:32He really dared to say anything.
13:34After the wrong one is sent away, you will realize how precious the right one is.
13:37Beneath the moon bloom tree, with the moon goddess as our witness, Lydia and I finally become
13:42blessed mates.
13:42Oh, mean goddess.
13:45All these years, I thought Orion Silvermoon's tongue was just sharp.
13:49Turns out, it could also spin tails out of thin air.
13:52Good thing the Ashford's said they wouldn't come, and they really kept their word.
13:56Otherwise, this speech would have given them a stroke.
13:59I watched Orion weave those love stories I'd never even heard of, and suddenly felt when
14:05my biggest enemy's venom stopped spraying at me, and started spraying with me.
14:10It has nails.
14:11Yeah.
14:11This feels pretty good.
14:13Next, the ring exchange.
14:16The one I prepared was for Ethan's size exclamation.
14:19No, no, no, no.
14:24Whether they fit or not, Orion Silvermoon, you was going to have to put them on.
14:30This box wasn't the box for me, and Ethan's rings.
14:36Is that the Silvermoon Eye?
14:38The heirloom of the Silvermoon family?
14:39It hasn't left the Silvermoon family in centuries.
14:42What a royal romance.
14:44A handsome, rich duke's heir.
14:46Ten times better than Ethan Ashfold.
14:47I wouldn't want Ethan either.
14:49He really is just a wrong one to skip.
14:50What's the real story behind the groom change?
14:52I feel like there's more to this.
14:54Eh, who cares?
14:55Just enjoy the show.
14:57Why does it fit perfectly?
14:59And now, Orion Silvermoon, under the watch of the moon goddess, beneath the moonbloom tree,
15:06in the presence and with the blessings of family and friends.
15:09I was about to turn my face away when he leaned down.
15:16He leaned down and kissed me.
15:18My emotions were already all over the place.
15:20But after the ceremony, still not over.
15:22Some guests wanted to see our wedding house.
15:25What?
15:25Were we going to show them the wreckage I'd made in the house meant for me and my ex-jumpionk?
15:29No, no, no.
15:30Lydia Vance does not embarrass herself like that.
15:33This guy had lost his mind.
15:34Everyone, you're all welcome.
15:36Follow the wedding procession.
15:38Orion Silvermoon, the substitute groom, had already done more than perfectly.
15:42How could he possibly have had time to arrange the wedding house too?
15:45On the way there, I was worried sick.
15:47I wanted to blame him for agreeing to their request.
15:50But then I thought about it.
15:51To be fair, as a substitute groom today, he'd already done more than enough.
15:55More than good enough.
15:56But when we arrived, I realized I'd been wrong.
15:59The staff setting this up just left.
16:01From the entrance, to the villa, to the wedding room, flawlessly arranged.
16:04And the craziest part, there were even wedding portraits.
16:07Judging by the bride in the photos.
16:08They were clearly the ones I'd taken with Ethan before.
16:11But the groom standing next to me in the pictures, that was Orion.
16:17After a full day of ceremonies, I was completely exhausted.
16:21After showering, I threw on my nightgown,
16:23climbed onto that huge wedding bed without any pretense,
16:26and just collapsed.
16:27I couldn't even be bothered to move my toes.
16:34The wedding house arrangements here, how did you pull that off in such a short time?
16:37Money.
16:38All right, all right, you filthy rich guys.
16:42And the wedding portraits, how did you get those?
16:47What if I said Ethan sent them to me?
16:49Would you believe me?
16:52What?
16:54He sent them to you?
16:56Why would he do that?
16:58Guess.
17:00Fine, keep it yourself.
17:02He walked toward me.
17:03I quickly looked away.
17:05My throat felt dry.
17:07But I still said...
17:09I want to sleep alone for now.
17:14You mean separate rooms?
17:16Maybe it was because we'd been arched in enemies for so long.
17:19But I knew that to win against him, you didn't fight fire with fire.
17:23You picked your moments to soften.
17:24Three days.
17:25Three days.
17:27Could we...
17:27No.
17:29Don't burn the bridge after you've crossed it.
17:33Have some conscience.
17:38I stared at his back and suddenly felt like laughing.
17:41He didn't seem so hard to handle after all.
17:43But before I could finish feeling happy, I saw him go into the bathroom, come out quickly,
17:48and stride over to the big couch across the room.
17:51He lay down.
17:52I froze.
17:53Now, Orion.
17:54Still, you passed.
17:58What are you doing?
18:01Didn't I say I wanted to sleep alone?
18:08Aren't you sleeping alone right now?
18:11I was so frustrated, I started laughing.
18:13I sat up angrily.
18:15I meant I sleep alone in this room, and you go sleep in the guest room.
18:20No chance.
18:22You, Lydia Vance, care about face, don't I?
18:26I'm already having a hard time explaining this whole last-minute groom situation to my family.
18:31My parents, my whole family.
18:33They chose to trust me and went along with everything.
18:37And you want me to sleep in the guest room?
18:39What if they find out?
18:40What do I say then?
18:42What he said kind of made sense.
18:44But it's only three days.
18:52Orion saw my hesitation and guessed immediately.
18:57Lydia, I'm about to board.
18:59Two hours from now, come pick me up at the airport.
19:03Ethan Ashfield, have you lost your memory?
19:06Lydia, it's all my fault.
19:08I shouldn't have left you.
19:12I'm sorry, I even brought you a gift.
19:15Ethan Ashfield?
19:17I've already got married today.
19:23Come on, babe, stop being mad.
19:26Neither I nor anyone from my family was there.
19:29What wedding could you possibly have had?
19:31Yes.
19:32Neither you nor your family showed up.
19:35My family and I planned and executed the entire wedding.
19:37When you couldn't come, not once did you think about how to explain the postponement to the guests.
19:42Not once did you offer to handle it for me.
19:43One phone call, and you told me to postpone the wedding.
19:46But Ethan Ashfield, in this world, you are not the only man.
19:50What do you mean?
19:51Lydia, what the hell do you mean?
19:53Lydia Vance, answer me!
19:54Just then, Orion reached his hand out to me.
19:58I hesitated for a moment, and then gave him the phone.
20:01Maybe Orion and I had no future.
20:03But one thing was certain.
20:05I was never going back to Ethan Ashford.
20:08Answer what?
20:10Whoever you find to pick you up at this late hour is your business.
20:13But you do not get to order my mate around.
20:16You, Orion?
20:17You're Ion Silvermoon!
20:19Hey, address my name once is enough.
20:21I'm not your boss.
20:23Who's your mate?
20:24You bastard!
20:25Why do you have Lydia's phone?
20:27It's obviously Lydia, my mate.
20:29Ethan, don't play dumb.
20:31You know exactly what you've been up to.
20:34Stop bothering my mate, or things won't end well for you.
20:38Lydia Vance, Orion Silvermoon, you two are cheating behind me.
20:42Hey!
20:43Hey!
20:45Fuck.
20:47Orion hung up.
20:49But quickly, my phone rang again.
20:52Of course, Ethan Ashford again.
20:57This time, locked and black.
21:05That night, I felt completely drained body and soul.
21:09But my mind was still wide awake.
21:11I thought I'd be up all night.
21:13But at some point, I drifted off.
21:19According to tradition, the day after becoming mates, I had to go back to visit my parents.
21:26Sigh.
21:26I didn't have any clean clothes to change into.
21:30Just when I was just going to wash up and head out, I noticed a set of clothes neatly folded
21:35on the couch.
21:37Everything was my size.
21:38Orion.
21:39He actually had such a considerate side.
21:42I showered, I showered, changed, did my makeup, and left the room.
21:56Orion was downstairs, wearing an apron, arranging plates on the table.
22:01He walked over and took my hand.
22:04Got all dressed up to go see your family?
22:06Come eat first.
22:07Then we'll go.
22:09How?
22:11How did you know that today?
22:13I just know.
22:15Lydia, everything about you.
22:17I know it all.
22:29In a daze, I let him lead me to the table and sit me down.
22:33This guy I'd always thought of as arrogant, untouchable, and my biggest rival.
22:38He actually had such a domestic side.
22:41Come eat first.
22:51I took a bite of breakfast.
22:53It was actually delicious.
22:56You made this?
22:58Yeah.
23:01If you like it, I'll make it more often.
23:03I can cook a lot of other dishes, too.
23:05Lydia, you can trust.
23:06Completely.
23:07In the days to come, I will take very good care of my mate.
23:10Suddenly, I didn't dare look into those deep eyes.
23:13I lowered my head and ate.
23:15After breakfast, since I didn't cook, I automatically started clearing the dishes.
23:20These hands of yours, they shouldn't be doing this.
23:22That's my job, Mrs. Silvermoon.
23:23Ethan, don't overstep.
23:30When I'd cook and clean up, Ethan would hug me from behind and say,
23:36I'm so lucky to have someone as capable as you.
23:38But Orion said,
23:40These hands of yours shouldn't be doing this.
23:43What are you thinking about?
23:46Nothing.
23:47My heart suddenly started racing.
23:49My face felt hot.
23:50I quickly tried to step back.
23:52But he reached out, wrapped an arm around my waist,
23:55and lowered his head, kissing my forehead.
23:58Just as I was internally struggling,
24:00my mom's phone call saved me from awkwardness.
24:03The Ashfords showed up at our door to cause trouble.
24:07Don't worry.
24:08Lydia and I will be right there.
24:15Your daughter has no shame.
24:18She's been messing around with another man behind my son's back this whole time!
24:29The shameless one is Ethan Ashford.
24:35You two bastard and sli-
24:38Silence!
24:40This is Vance Family House.
24:44Your Vance Family was in the wrong first.
24:47Can I even say a few words?
24:51On a wedding day,
24:52unless dead, you need crawl to the altar if you have to.
24:55But your precious son, Ethan Ashfield, went to be with another she-wolf.
24:58And now you say the Vance Family is in the wrong?
25:00All of you, get out!
25:03I never expected that you wouldn't even offer a single apology.
25:06Instead, you-
25:07Get out!
25:10Fine, we'll go.
25:12But that villa you promised them?
25:14You have to sell it and give us half.
25:16Why would we give you half?
25:18Because that was the agreement between our two families.
25:22Are you so money-obsessed you've lost your mind?
25:25Why would we give half of the wedding house my family bought to your family?
25:29What is Ethan Ashford to us now?
25:31Our family said that after Lydia gets married,
25:34the villa can be registered in the young couple's name.
25:36But our family's son-in-law is not Ethan Ashford.
25:42It's the Silvermoon family.
25:46Orion.
25:47Orion Silvermoon.
25:48Yes, my son-in-law's name is Orion Silvermoon, not Ethan Ashford.
26:00Fine, fine, fine.
26:02You cheated on my son, climbed up to a higher branch,
26:06and you're still so self-righteous about it?
26:08But I'm going to expose this.
26:11I'll make sure everyone knows about your dirty secrets.
26:19With parents like you,
26:21no wonder you raised a cheating bastard like Ethan Ashfield.
26:25You'll regret this.
26:28We'll see.
26:30Wait!
26:33You'd better wait one minute.
26:36Now.
26:40For your precious son, take it home and have a good look.
26:42I've got plenty more of these.
26:44You're welcome to expose whatever you want.
26:46I'd love to see who ends up looking like the fool.
26:49What did you give them?
26:54I just thought Ashford couple were a bit snobbish.
26:57But Ethan Ashford is well-mannered, gentle, soft-spoken,
27:01and Lydda wouldn't be living with her in-laws anyway.
27:03So I didn't think much of it.
27:05But now that I think about it,
27:06thank the moon goddess Leah didn't marry into that family.
27:19Oh, my moon goddess.
27:26Silver moon hereby shall convey these gifts to you all.
27:29We're family now.
27:30No need for gifts.
27:31I just heard you enjoy chess.
27:32We happen to have some antique chess sets at home.
27:34Ones that came from the palace in the old days.
27:36Better to let someone who appreciates them enjoy them
27:38than to let them gather dust in a corner.
27:39Palace chess sets?
27:40Yes.
27:41Grandfather, please take a look.
27:42The wood grain is exquisite.
27:44The piece is smooth to touch.
27:45Fine, archaic quality.
27:46This is too valuable.
27:48You should take it back.
27:49The Vance, the most precious treasure in family,
27:50has already married into my family.
27:52Grandfather, if you still accept me as your grandson-in-law,
27:55please do accept this small gift.
27:57The other box contained fine black tea,
27:59which my dad loved,
28:00an antique necklace,
28:01perfect for my mom's collection hobby,
28:04and gifts for uncle and cousins.
28:07Then I watched Orion play chess with grandfather,
28:10evenly matched and eventually
28:13tactically losing subtly to grandfather.
28:16Then he drank tea with my dad,
28:19speaking with impressive knowledge.
28:21What a coincidence.
28:21I like this actor too.
28:23You know, he and I as well as Lydia,
28:25we actually went to the same academy.
28:27Whoa, really?
28:29Lydia, Ori is good.
28:31You two live well together.
28:33Yes.
28:34Listen to your grandfather.
28:35Come back for dinner often.
28:37I'll cook for you myself.
28:38Mom.
28:39Listen to your mother.
28:48Tired?
28:49I'm okay.
28:53Orion!
28:54Hmm?
28:54Didn't he think this was too intimate?
28:56Even though we were already mated,
28:58before this,
28:58we were arch enemies.
29:00Why so quiet?
29:02Why did you agree to marry me?
29:04Why would I say no?
29:05You're beautiful, smart, and capable.
29:07Plus, marrying you means I have
29:09one less formidable opponent.
29:10Don't even think about it.
29:11We're not going to let this affect
29:12our debates on the council.
29:13We will see.
29:14He chuckled.
29:15I didn't understand what he meant.
29:20Lydia!
29:21That historic building maintenance proposal,
29:22the one we've been fighting over
29:23for three months?
29:24The noble representatives
29:25have finally relented.
29:26They're willing to come to the table
29:27for negotiations.
29:29Really?
29:29Goddess knew what got into them.
29:30The elders and guard
29:32is still worried about noble assets
29:33and won't fully budge.
29:34But Mr. Silverville convinced them
29:36to at least sit down and talk.
29:38Who knew the new leader
29:39of the noble faction
29:40would suddenly be so cooperative?
29:41Is it because he just got married
29:42and good fortune is spreading
29:43to our stalled proposal?
29:45Whoever she is,
29:46let's all thank this mysterious
29:47Mrs. Silvermoon.
29:48Our dead-boxed work
29:48finally has hope.
29:49You didn't know that you had
29:51not only met Mrs. Silvermoon,
29:52but that Mrs. Silvermoon
29:53was standing right in front of you.
29:55Miss Vance?
29:57What's wrong?
29:57Aren't you happy?
29:59Nothing.
29:59Go for your work.
30:02Why the sudden concession
30:03on the deadlock proposal?
30:04It's not a concession.
30:05It's allowing both sides
30:06to negotiate better.
30:07Usually,
30:07you would have fought me
30:08to the ground on this.
30:09You were someone else's partner.
30:11Now you're my mate.
30:12Why would I fight
30:12against my own mate?
30:13And I'm here to pick you up
30:15from work, my mate.
30:19Before bed,
30:20while I was in the bathroom
30:21putting on a face mask,
30:22an unknown number called me.
30:24I got calls
30:25and you didn't tell me?
30:28Out there.
30:34How does he know this place?
30:35With that many people
30:36at the wedding,
30:37there's always one or two
30:37who like to stir up trouble.
30:40Want to go out?
30:42You sure about this?
30:44Yeah.
30:45One last time.
30:51Lydia,
30:52you finally come
30:52to talk to me.
31:00Lydia,
31:00I need to talk to you.
31:01He can't be here.
31:13He can't be here.
31:14But my mate can't.
31:17Mate?
31:18So you were
31:19hooking up
31:20behind my back
31:21all along.
31:22Lydia Vance,
31:23you're nothing
31:24but a bi-
31:25This is the last time,
31:32Ethan Ashford.
31:33Stop pretending.
31:35The moment you slept
31:36with Sylvia,
31:36you knew this was coming.
31:39You knew?
31:43You promised me
31:44you wouldn't let her find out!
31:45Sylvia stayed silent,
31:46but the corner of her mouth
31:47curled into a bitter,
31:49sad smile.
31:49Suddenly,
31:50I didn't hate her anymore
31:51because she was not only hateful
31:52but also pitiful.
31:53Let's make it no more troubles.
31:55From now on,
31:56you go your way,
31:57I'll go mine.
32:08Orion Silvermoon,
32:09you finally stole
32:10your long-time dream girl!
32:11Feeling proud of yourself?
32:14What?
32:20Who's your long-time dream girl?
32:23It's you.
32:25My love.
32:26My mate.
32:28My Mrs. Silvermoon.
32:32Orion loves me.
32:34This was unbelievable.
32:35And how did Ethan know?
32:36Back in the room,
32:37I kept pressing him
32:38for answers.
32:42The year we graduated,
32:43Ethan picked my lost wallet.
32:45Inside was a photo of you.
32:48That's when he figured out
32:49I liked you.
32:50After graduation,
32:51you got together with him.
32:53When you took your wedding photos,
32:55he sent them to me.
32:56Now you can finally give up.
32:58After Orion finished,
32:59he laid down on the couch
33:00and stared at me
33:01without saying another word.
33:02The room was quiet
33:03for a long time.
33:05But haven't we always been
33:06arch enemies?
33:09Who wanted to be
33:10your arch enemy?
33:12What?
33:14Nothing.
33:14I just love you.
33:16I just love you.
33:16That's all there is to it.
33:21His ears were red.
33:23I'd never seen anything like it.
33:25I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
33:27Orion Silvermoon?
33:29Are you blushing?
33:31Tell me honestly.
33:33Ullen of the greatest joys in life,
33:34seeing your arch enemy
33:35with red ears.
33:38You're so heavy.
33:39Get off.
33:40Laugh one more time
33:41and I'm sleeping in the bed
33:43with you tonight.
33:44I swallowed hard.
33:46I didn't dare breathe.
33:47The next second,
33:48Orion Silvermoon let go of me.
33:50I immediately jumped off the couch
33:51and fled back to the bed,
33:53pulling the covers over my head.
33:54My heart was pounding.
33:56The biggest enemy of my life
33:57for the past seven years
33:58has actually liked me
34:00this whole time.
34:10It's still early.
34:11Sleep more.
34:12I'll leave breakfast for you.
34:13Just eat and head straight
34:14to your field work.
34:15I drifted back to sleep,
34:17still half conscious.
34:18When I woke up again,
34:20a long time had passed.
34:21I went downstairs.
34:28But unfortunately,
34:29that afternoon,
34:30when I was doing
34:30an on-site survey
34:31with the municipal liaison Yara
34:33at an old manor
34:34that was under renovation,
34:35a falling stone hit my head.
34:37There was a lot of blood.
34:41I was rushed to the hospital
34:43immediately.
34:44Severe concussion.
34:45The doctor admitted me
34:46for observation.
34:47When Orion arrived,
34:48his face was calm but worried.
34:49Only after he'd spoken
34:50with the doctor
34:51and understood the situation,
34:52did his expression
34:53finally relax.
34:54The few days I stayed
34:55for observation,
34:56everything I ate,
34:57drank, and used.
34:58He arranged personally.
34:59A man I'd always thought of
35:01as arrogant and rough.
35:02I never expected
35:03he could be so patient
35:04and gentle
35:04when taking care of someone.
35:06Finally,
35:06I was cleared to leave.
35:08Orion had some business
35:09to handle.
35:09His mother,
35:10the Duchess of Silver Moon,
35:11came to visit.
35:12The Duchess was very gentle.
35:13After asking about my injuries,
35:15she set down her gift
35:16and sat beside me.
35:18There's something I've been
35:18wanting to tell you.
35:20I'm listening.
35:21Lydia, do you know why
35:22Orion chose that academy
35:23you both took back then?
35:24Do you remember
35:25the Moon Bloom Festival
35:26students camped
35:27seven years ago?
35:29You gave a speech
35:30representing the
35:31Shadow Moon One Pax
35:32youth group.
35:36The heir to the
35:37Silver Moon family,
35:37according to tradition,
35:38should have gone to
35:39some prestigious academy
35:40for nobles only.
35:41But that year,
35:42he refused.
35:44He insisted on going to
35:45that newly opened
35:46public academy instead.
35:47Later,
35:48later I found out
35:49he'd seen a girl
35:50during an inter-school event.
35:51Just that one time
35:52and he'd already
35:52lost his heart.
35:53He told me that day,
35:55standing there,
35:56the moonlight on you
35:57shone straight
35:58into his heart.
36:09The girl Orion liked
36:11seven years ago?
36:13Me?
36:16The day before
36:17you got married.
36:18Orion cried to me
36:20that the girl he liked
36:22was about to marry
36:23someone else.
36:25That night,
36:26I was worried,
36:26so I went to check on him.
36:28I saw his computer screen,
36:29full of wedding photos.
36:31I thought the girl
36:32in those photos
36:33must be the one he loves.
36:34Such a shame,
36:35she was about to belong
36:36to someone else.
36:37Then,
36:39unexpectedly,
36:40early the next morning,
36:41he suddenly called me
36:42and said he was
36:43getting married.
36:45And then?
36:48I was so confused.
36:51I thought he'd lost his mind.
36:56Who are you marrying?
36:59The one I love.
37:01The undisguised joy
37:02in his voice
37:03told me it was real.
37:04He told us not to ask
37:06too many questions.
37:07Teen,
37:08time was urgent.
37:09Just follow his
37:10arrangements
37:11and be ready.
37:13My son hadn't cried
37:14since he was five years old.
37:15But that night
37:16when I went to see him,
37:18he was drinking
37:19and crying
37:20at the same time.
37:22Lydia,
37:22I begs you,
37:23please cherish him well
37:24because he really,
37:26really loves you.
37:31Yes.
37:33Mother,
37:34what are you telling Lydia?
37:36Embarrassed, Orion?
37:37Love should be spoken out loud.
37:39Mom,
37:40don't stir up trouble.
37:42I can take care
37:42of my own person.
37:43You go,
37:44we're leaving.
37:45On the way,
37:46I kept turning
37:46to look at him.
37:48I was trying
37:49to imagine him crying.
37:56Lydia,
37:57if you've taken
37:58the wrong pills,
37:58just say so.
37:59We can go back
38:00to the hospital
38:00for a stomach pump.
38:01It's not too late.
38:06Is it really okay
38:07to be so sharp-tongued
38:08with an injured patient?
38:09And it's okay
38:10for you to look
38:11at your mate
38:11like he's an idiot?
38:15Come clean,
38:16and I'll make you
38:17something good
38:17to eat today.
38:19What if I don't?
38:24Then,
38:25I'll still have to
38:25make you something good.
38:28See?
38:29There you go.
38:33At night,
38:34when it was almost
38:34time to sleep,
38:35Orion Silvermoon
38:36paced and hesitated
38:37by the bed.
38:38According to his
38:38original promise,
38:39he'd given me
38:40three days of sleeping alone.
38:42Now,
38:42he thought it was time
38:43to come back to the nest.
38:44To be honest,
38:45if I didn't know
38:45that he liked me,
38:46I might still have
38:47tried to stall.
38:47But,
38:48how should I put it?
38:48A rich,
38:49handsome guy,
38:50powerful,
38:50and completely devoted
38:51to his mate,
38:52secretly in love
38:53with me for years.
38:54There probably
38:55aren't many men
38:55like that in the world,
38:57right?
38:57Maybe I should
38:57give it a try.
39:01You're not gonna roll over
39:02and hit my head
39:02in the middle of the night,
39:03are you?
39:04How could that happen?
39:06I sleep very peacefully.
39:07I never move around.
39:10Then,
39:11come and sleep.
39:12Okay.
39:14Don't worry.
39:15I won't touch your wound.
39:17That will do.
39:22Good night,
39:22my love.
39:24Well,
39:25that was unexpected.
39:28I stayed home
39:29recovering for a few more days,
39:31Dot.
39:33During this time,
39:34aside from occasionally
39:36going out,
39:37Orion Silvermoon
39:38spent most of his time
39:39at home with me.
39:40Three meals a day
39:41he made them all himself,
39:42never complaining,
39:43Dot also.
39:44I got along very well
39:46with Orion's mother.
39:47Actually,
39:48the person who got along
39:49best with the Duchess
39:50was my mom.
39:57The Duchess and I
39:58made plans for afternoon tea.
40:00Orion's mom and I
40:01are getting manis.
40:05Mira and I
40:06booked a trip together.
40:23One morning,
40:24while he was cooking,
40:25I quietly came up
40:26behind him
40:27and hugged him.
40:29Orion Silvermoon,
40:30are you trying to spoil me
40:31until I can't do
40:32the houseworks anymore?
40:33Like you were doing
40:34any of these daily chores
40:35before I showed up?
40:37That was true.
40:38But,
40:39after eating my cooking
40:41and experiencing my care,
40:42from now on,
40:44without me,
40:44no matter how rich you are,
40:46you'll never find anyone
40:47who takes care of you
40:48with such attention to detail.
40:50I'm gonna make you so spoiled
40:52that you'll see
40:52how could you live without me.
40:54Then what if you change
40:55your heart in the future
40:56and leave me?
40:59Won't I be in a terrible position?
41:02Change my heart?
41:03I survived seven years
41:04of unrequited love.
41:05Now that I've finally
41:05got you in my jaws,
41:06why would I let go?
41:07Don't even think about it,
41:08Mrs. Silvermoon.
41:09You're not getting away.
41:10Oh?
41:11Is that so?
41:12Then,
41:12maybe,
41:13I'll take one gamble.
41:15Gamble on a love story
41:16to happily ever after.
41:21So that day
41:21when you called me
41:22and asked me to be the groom,
41:24do you know what
41:24that felt like for me?
41:26What did it feel like?
41:27Like waiting seven years
41:29for the moon
41:30and it finally fell
41:31into my arms.
41:33Even if it was fake,
41:34I wanted to hold on to it.
41:37Orion.
41:37Yeah?
41:39Now it's turned
41:40from fake to real
41:41and I love you too, Orion.
41:44Thank you for loving me
41:45all this time
41:45and I love you too, Orion.
42:00Lydia,
42:01once you say that,
42:02you can't take it back.
42:05I don't plan to.
42:14Do you know
42:16how long
42:19I've waited
42:19to hear those words?
42:29Mrs. Silvermoon.
42:31Now you're really my mate.
42:32If you argue with me
42:33on the council from now on,
42:34that means you're the one
42:35bullying me.
42:36So will you let me win or not?
42:38No.
42:39But when we get home,
42:40I can make it up to you.
42:41Who needs you
42:41to make it up to me?
42:43You.
42:44For the rest of my life,
42:45I'm going to make it up to you.
42:49Senator Silvermoon,
42:50your proposal is just
42:52defending noble privileges.
42:53You haven't considered
42:54the interests of ordinary
42:55citizens at all.
42:56Senator Vance,
42:57I hear your criticism,
42:59but your alternative plan
43:00has a budget short lay
43:01of 30%.
43:02Are you asking me
43:03to negotiate with thin air?
43:05Didn't they get married?
43:06Yeah, married just last month.
43:07Then why are they still
43:08fighting like this?
43:09Who knows?
43:10Maybe this is just
43:11how they express their love?
43:15Fight with me at home?
43:17Who wants to fight with you?
43:20Senator Vance?
43:21Mrs. Silverwood,
43:23you two at work?
43:24Call me Senator Vance.
43:25Privately call her
43:26Mrs. Silverwood.
43:27You shut up.
43:28Yes, my mate.
43:29You shut up.
43:32You shut up.
43:33I'm going to do it.
43:33I'm going to do it.
