00:00:00Lady Ellora Thor, known for her gentle virtue and diligent service, is hereby conferred the title of Countess.
00:00:08So decreed.
00:00:09Long live the King!
00:00:14Sister!
00:00:27Little sister? Why?
00:00:30Don't call me sister! You don't deserve it! We're both the Vox daughters! Why do you get everything?
00:00:35If only Lord Lucian had caught my wreath three years ago, this should have all been mine!
00:00:40The glory and wealth you crave are nothing but an illusion.
00:00:46Go fuck yourself!
00:00:57Given another chance, I would gladly give up all these honors.
00:01:05My Lord, word has spread throughout the city.
00:01:07Upon hearing the Vox daughters are to choose a husband, many noble young lords are rushing here.
00:01:13Today, the House of Vox shall choose a suitor by wreath toss.
00:01:16Whoever catches my daughter's weeds shall have her hand in marriage.
00:01:20Lady Vox tosses to me!
00:01:21House Vox's son-in-law must be of noble birth. You and Serafina must choose wisely when casting the wreath,
00:01:26but whoever marries well will be the fan pride.
00:01:28I've been reborn back to the day of wreath super selection three years ago.
00:01:32My lady, it's time to toss your wreath.
00:01:37Aldia, let me first!
00:01:38In my past life, Serafina hesitated and begged me to go first. Why is she acting like this now?
00:01:43It seems Serafina has been reborn too.
00:01:48This time, only I shall wed Lucian.
00:01:55That is Lucian, the second son of House Thorne!
00:01:57The Thorne family are distant relatives of the royal house. We shall be linked to the crown!
00:02:02This time, I've finally changed my fate. In three years, Lucian will be granted a title, and I shall be
00:02:07a noble countess.
00:02:08Serafina, all your clever schemes have only landed you in the Thorne family's deadly trap.
00:02:17Excellent! Serafina has made the family proud!
00:02:22Papa, you flatter me. I only act for our family.
00:02:25Once I become Lady Thorne, I shall bring great glory to our house.
00:02:30Isn't that right, Elder Sister?
00:02:32You're truly blessed, little sister. I truly rejoice for you.
00:02:36Alara, I've stolen your good fortune.
00:02:40I will never live in your shadow again in this life.
00:02:49Wait, isn't that-
00:02:51Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:02:54My Lord, if Her Highness learns you've left the palace dressed like this-
00:02:58My mother keeps pressuring me to choose my queen.
00:03:00I had to sneak out for some peace and experience life as an ordinary man.
00:03:08Come, let us see.
00:03:14In my past life, this peasant stole my wreath.
00:03:18I ran away from my marriage and suffered terribly.
00:03:20Today, I'll make him feel what it's like to be cast aside by his own blood!
00:03:26My Lord, now that we're allied with House Thorne,
00:03:31Alara cannot settle for just any suitor.
00:03:35Mama, sister has always been blessed with luck.
00:03:39She'd never bring shame to Papa.
00:03:41I'm certain she'll choose the finest husband there is.
00:03:47Power and wealth are all fleeting.
00:03:49In this life, I only want a good man by my side and a peaceful life.
00:04:04Why him?
00:04:05Why him?
00:04:09He's the commoner Serafina refused to marry in her previous life.
00:04:13Good heavens!
00:04:14Of all people, why did a peasant catch your wreath?
00:04:18Sister, what awful luck is this?
00:04:21After all that, you choose a peasant.
00:04:24How's Papa supposed to hold his head up?
00:04:29Useless girl!
00:04:30With everyone watching, you throw your wreath to a peasant!
00:04:33You wanted to shame me and our family, didn't you?
00:04:36Well, it's done!
00:04:37Don't be upset, sister.
00:04:39He's low-born, but decent-looking.
00:04:42Yet you've been spoiled all your life.
00:04:44With him, you'll have to work for everything now.
00:04:47This will be good.
00:04:48Is the eldest Miss Vos really going to marry a peasant?
00:04:52Everyone's watching!
00:04:54If she doesn't marry him, House Vos will lose all credibility!
00:04:57Who'll do business with them after this?
00:05:02Seize her! Don't let her get away!
00:05:04My lord, how come you have the wreath?
00:05:06Throw it away at once!
00:05:10I'm dressed so ragged, she'll never agree to marry me.
00:05:17Sister, why are you running?
00:05:18You threw the wreath yourself.
00:05:20No one forced you.
00:05:21Look at this peasant you've brought upon us!
00:05:24If he becomes Vox's son-in-law, our family's name is ruined!
00:05:27In my past life, I struggled in the Thorn House, used as a pawn by House Vos to climb the
00:05:33nobility.
00:05:34Now, I'd rather marry a commoner and live in peace.
00:05:38The wreath has chosen its match.
00:05:39Even if you don't want to, you must!
00:05:42I will marry him!
00:05:51I am Alara.
00:05:53What's yours?
00:05:56I'm...
00:05:57Sion.
00:06:07With everyone here as my witness, I, Alara, will marry Sion.
00:06:19You truly want to be my wife?
00:06:22What else?
00:06:23The wreath is yours now.
00:06:26Are you backing out?
00:06:29I just...
00:06:30What?
00:06:31I'm...
00:06:32I'm not backing out.
00:06:33But I have nothing.
00:06:36Marry me and you'll have no home, no proper food.
00:06:39Do you still want to?
00:06:40We're able-bodied.
00:06:41We can earn what we need.
00:06:43Get a little more serious about work and you'll have no trouble getting by.
00:06:46I've never met a woman so easily contented.
00:06:49A filthy peasant!
00:06:50And you treat him like something precious?!
00:06:53Alara, think carefully.
00:06:56Marry a peasant and you ruin your life.
00:07:00Status doesn't make a future.
00:07:02Character does.
00:07:04Sion may be poorly dressed but he's polite.
00:07:06He could well be a good match.
00:07:08And he doesn't seem to care what other people think.
00:07:11He's not afraid to speak his mind and he's kind to the servants.
00:07:15You!
00:07:15The wreath chose him.
00:07:17Don't go back on your word now.
00:07:19Aye, break the rules and you'll lose all respect.
00:07:21The eldest Miss Vos has to marry him.
00:07:24Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!
00:07:26If you're so set on this, don't you ever blame the Vos family.
00:07:30You'll have no part in our glory from now on.
00:07:33I understand, father.
00:07:36The selection is over. You may all leave.
00:07:41Sister, don't say I didn't warn you.
00:07:44Marry a peasant and you'll always be beneath me.
00:07:48You'd better worry about yourself first.
00:07:50Life with the thorns won't be as easy as you think.
00:07:57You-
00:07:57Come to the Vos' sate in three days to ask for my hand.
00:08:00I'd just be pushed into choosing a consort if I return to the palace.
00:08:04Very well. I'll be there.
00:08:10On the day of the younger Miss Vos' wedding, her dowry includes a golden jeweled crown, twelve sets of lace
00:08:18satin gowns, and three deeds for vineyards and wineries on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
00:08:26The younger Miss Vos has a priceless dowry, while the elder Miss Vos has nothing at all. What a huge
00:08:33difference between the two Vos daughters.
00:08:39Sister, if you really marry a beggar, you'll toil for the rest of your life. I wonder if you'll ever
00:08:44get used to it.
00:08:48The groom is here! It's the groom!
00:09:01Truly the younger Master Thorn. What a grand wedding procession.
00:09:05The Thorn family is so powerful. The younger Miss Vos will live in luxury, unlike the elder Miss Vos, who
00:09:11married a beggar and will suffer for the rest of her days.
00:09:15Mr. Vos, Mrs. Vos, my best regards to you both.
00:09:18That's a good lad. Rise, Lucian.
00:09:21My dear boy, your wedding procession is the grandest sight in the entire imperial capital.
00:09:28It is the Vos family's great honour that our Seraphina is so cherished by you.
00:09:33Sister, the Austratus hour has almost passed. Where is your husband? Could it be he's too afraid to come?
00:09:47What is he doing? He can't be serious.
00:09:50I humbly greet you, my lord.
00:09:56My lady.
00:10:05My lady.
00:10:07Has he come to beg or to wed?
00:10:10Showing up dressed like this is nothing but a disgrace.
00:10:13Compared to Lord Lucian, it's like heaven versus earth.
00:10:16What on earth are you wearing? In front of all these nobles, you're humiliating me.
00:10:21It's our sister's wedding day, yet you show up dressed like this.
00:10:24You're utterly pathetic.
00:10:26Sister, don't you feel ashamed?
00:10:29Marriage is about sincerity, not looks.
00:10:32The man I, Alara, have chosen cannot be swayed by others' idle words of others.
00:10:37Aren't you ashamed enough?
00:10:39My lord, calm your anger.
00:10:41Once Alara steps through this door today, she will have nothing to do with our Vos family ever again.
00:10:47The auspicious hour for the wedding has arrived.
00:10:49The bride shall board the carriage.
00:11:00The bride shall board the carriage.
00:11:06My lord!
00:11:08Congratulations.
00:11:09Your noble son-in-law is quite remarkable.
00:11:11Lord Chamberlain.
00:11:13Please come in.
00:11:16Did you truly walk here?
00:11:18On such a joyous day, you would make your bride walk back with you.
00:11:22I have never heard of such a thing.
00:11:24Truly.
00:11:25Unlike my husband-
00:11:31My lady, I've come to take you home.
00:11:46Before those who love you, I ask you both to speak your vows.
00:11:53Sian, do you take Alara to be your wife?
00:11:55To love and protect her for all your days?
00:11:58I do.
00:12:00Alara, do you take Sian to be your husband?
00:12:02To stand by him and trust him for all your days?
00:12:06I do.
00:12:10Is this the place you arranged for me?
00:12:14This place is far too shabby.
00:12:18Can anyone actually live here?
00:12:20Your majesty, this is simply to keep your identity hidden.
00:12:25Vows have been spoken.
00:12:27From this day forward, you are husband and wife.
00:12:32My lady, I apologize for forcing you to live in such humble quarters.
00:12:37I am not troubled at all.
00:12:39This place is peaceful and sheltered.
00:12:42If we keep it clean and tidy from now on, it will grow ever more warm and cozy.
00:12:53I have little of value to offer now.
00:12:56This pendant was left to me by my father, and I have carried it always.
00:12:59Now I give it to you.
00:13:01Such a precious thing.
00:13:03And you give it to me?
00:13:09You may rest assured.
00:13:11I will keep it safe.
00:13:26Your majesty!
00:13:31Who are they?
00:13:32The royal court is far too complicated.
00:13:35I'll tell Alita about my identity once everything is settled.
00:13:39They're...
00:13:39They're here for Felix.
00:13:41He once served in the palace.
00:13:43And these are old acquaintances.
00:13:55Alara, I need to help Felix receive his guests.
00:13:58Will you be all right going to buy a loan?
00:14:04All right.
00:14:14Speak. What is the matter?
00:14:16The queen dowager is deeply troubled for you, your majesty.
00:14:19She has suddenly fainted.
00:14:20What?
00:14:21Felix, stay here and protect Alara.
00:14:24Return to the palace with me.
00:14:28Send someone to select valuable gifts for the Vos estate, saying they are Alara's presents for her family visit.
00:14:36Yes, your majesty. Let us go.
00:14:40Father!
00:14:41Father! Mother! Your daughter has returned!
00:14:46Sister!
00:14:48Why have you come back alone?
00:14:53Your majesty!
00:14:58Who are they?
00:14:59The royal court is far too complicated.
00:15:02I'll tell Alita about my identity once everything is settled.
00:15:06They're...
00:15:06They're here for Felix.
00:15:08Felix.
00:15:08He once served in the palace.
00:15:10And these are old acquaintances.
00:15:22Alara, I need to help Felix receive his guests.
00:15:26Will you be all right going to buy a loan?
00:15:31All right.
00:15:41Speak. What is the matter?
00:15:44The queen dowager is deeply troubled for you, your majesty.
00:15:46She has suddenly fainted.
00:15:47What?
00:15:48Felix, stay here and protect Alara.
00:15:51Return to the palace with me.
00:15:55Send someone to select valuable gifts for the Vos estate, saying they are Alara's presents for her family visit.
00:16:03Yes, your majesty. Let us go.
00:16:07Father! Mother! Your daughter has returned!
00:16:13Sister!
00:16:15Why have you come back alone?
00:16:19My lord, which powerful noble has the elder Ms. Vos won over?
00:16:24The steward from the palace sent me here personally.
00:16:26You must have great influence indeed.
00:16:31That was sent by the king himself.
00:16:34The king's own steward gave the order personally.
00:16:40This is...
00:16:41For the elder, Mrs. Vos.
00:16:45Mr. Morea, you must be mistaken.
00:16:49Everyone in the capital knows Alara married a peasant.
00:16:52How could she have ties to the palace?
00:16:54This gift must surely be sent in honor of the younger Master Thorn.
00:16:58Quite right. Plenty of people across the realm seek to curry favor with House Thorn.
00:17:02Even those in the palace.
00:17:03Please accept this, my lord.
00:17:06Serafina has truly married well.
00:17:08Just look at this grand homecoming and all these fine gifts.
00:17:11They honor the House of Vos.
00:17:13I have delivered the gifts.
00:17:15I shall take my leave, my lord.
00:17:17Farewell, Mr. Morea.
00:17:21Sister, my lord has brought such fine gifts.
00:17:24Aren't you ashamed to stand there beside them?
00:17:27It's not the value that matters, but the sincerity.
00:17:31I see nothing wrong with what I've done.
00:17:33I spared no effort raising you.
00:17:35And this is how you repay me.
00:17:38Marrying a peasant and insulting me with these trickets!
00:17:43House Vos has no place for a daughter as worthless as you!
00:17:48Is this why you humiliate me so? Simply because I married Kale?
00:17:51Seria thinks of the family.
00:17:53You've only shamed House Vos by marrying a peasant!
00:17:55What honor!
00:17:56You only favor her because she married a nobleman.
00:17:59To you, your daughters are nothing but pawns to climb higher!
00:18:02How dare you speak to me like this!
00:18:13The Royal Eagle Pendant!
00:18:18My lord, which powerful noble has the elder Ms. Vos won over?
00:18:22The steward from the palace sent me here personally.
00:18:25You must have great influence indeed.
00:18:29That was sent by the king himself.
00:18:32The king's own steward gave the order personally.
00:18:37This is for the elder Mrs. Vos.
00:18:43Mr. Morea, you must be mistaken.
00:18:47Everyone in the capital knows Elamra married a peasant.
00:18:50How could she have ties to the palace?
00:18:52This gift must surely be sent in honor of the younger Master Thorn.
00:18:56Quite right.
00:18:57Plenty of people across the realm seek to curry favor with House Thorn.
00:19:00Even those in the palace.
00:19:02Please accept this, my lord.
00:19:04Serafina has truly married well.
00:19:06Just look at this grand homecoming and all these fine gifts.
00:19:09They honor the House of Vos.
00:19:11I have delivered the gifts.
00:19:13I shall take my leave, my lord.
00:19:15Farewell, Mr. Morea.
00:19:19Sister, my lord has brought such fine gifts.
00:19:22Aren't you ashamed to stand there beside them?
00:19:25It's not the value that matters, but the sincerity.
00:19:29I see nothing wrong with what I've done.
00:19:31I spared no effort raising you.
00:19:33And this is how you repay me.
00:19:36Marrying a peasant and insulting me with these trickets!
00:19:41House Vos has no place for a daughter as worthless as you!
00:19:46Is this why you humiliate me so?
00:19:48Simply because I married Kale?
00:19:49Saria thinks of the family.
00:19:51You've only shamed House Vos by marrying a peasant!
00:19:53What honor!
00:19:55You only favor her because she married a nobleman.
00:19:57To you, your daughters are nothing but pawns to climb higher!
00:20:00How dare you speak to me like this!
00:20:11The Royal Eagle Pendant!
00:20:13The Royal Eagle Pendant!
00:20:26Now, can you give me the pendant back?
00:20:28Want it?
00:20:30Then crawl for it.
00:20:32As long as you crawl...
00:20:35The pendant is yours.

00:21:15I will keep it safe.

00:21:29If your face is disfigured, will your beloved husband still want you?

00:21:37I've long said it.
00:21:39Marry a peasant, and you'll end up being trampled on!

00:48:41why is lady vera targeting me like this
00:48:43lady vera has been merciful enough not to punish you for stealing the pendant
00:48:47collecting morning dew is a light task
00:48:49you should be grateful
00:48:51the pendant was never stolen
00:48:52how dare you slander me
00:48:54if it wasn't stolen did the king gave it to you personally
00:49:02who did this
00:49:06steward felix
