00:06Today marks the 10th year of our marriage.
00:15Kieron, you're home!
00:24Why?
00:25Because the woman I love has always been Daphne.
00:28Daphne, you should have stepped aside a long time ago.
00:33Daphne?
00:34My demigod sister?
00:36I never knew.
00:37If you loved her, why didn't you refuse me 10 years ago?
00:41You're Zeus's favorite daughter.
00:43When he ordered the marriage, I had no choice.
00:49If it weren't for you, Daphne and I would have belonged to each other!
01:12I gave you everything.
01:14I made you the most powerful god on Olympus.
01:18How could you be this cruel?
01:27Please, save me.
01:30If you do, I swear, I won't tell my father.
01:35He'll never know.
01:43Your father won't get the chance to know.
01:46What does she mean?
01:55I've unleashed the beasts of Tartarus.
01:58Zeus is already fighting to survive.
02:00The throne of Olympus is overdue for a new ruler.
02:05What?
02:06No!
02:07No!
02:08No!
02:25Ten years, and I never realized how deeply my husband hated me.
02:32My foolish love destroyed my father.
02:35Oh, fates, if I could live it again, I would never choose him.
03:02Oh, fates, if I could live it again, I would never choose him.
03:05I would never choose him.
03:18Céline.
03:19Today, you choose your husband.
03:23I'm alive.
03:25I've returned to the day of the choosing.
03:27The fates heard me.
03:28You've always favored Skiron. If he can make my precious daughter happy, then choose him.
03:43No, father!
03:46What is it?
03:49I won't choose Skiron. I choose him.
03:57It's him?
04:02Why did I choose him? My worst nightmare.
04:19No!
04:22No!
04:22No!
04:24No!
04:25No!
04:31No!
04:34No!
04:34No!
04:38No!
04:50No!
04:51No!
04:54No!
04:56Skiron's gonna love it.
05:03No!
05:04No!
05:10No!
05:16No!
05:27No!
05:30No!
05:50No!
05:51No!
05:51What would you choose?
05:52It's Skiron. Everyone knows how deeply she loves him.
05:55If there's one god she'd never choose, it's Alexander.
05:59They fight every time they're in the same room.
06:03Skiron, I gave you everything and you repaid me with death.
06:08No!
06:09No!
06:09No!
06:11No!
06:13No!
06:13No!
06:13No!
06:15No!
06:15No!
06:17No!
06:19No!
06:20No!
06:21No!
06:22No!
06:27No!
06:27No!
06:34No!
06:36No!
06:43No!
06:45No!
06:54Lady Selye, why would you do this to me?
06:59Daphna, are you hurt?
07:01Apologize to her, now!
07:03The same old trick.
07:13Skel, I didn't...
07:19Daphna, that trick won't work on me anymore.
07:23She tore her own dress.
07:25She injured self on purpose.
07:27Why should I apologize?
07:28Lady Selye, are you saying Daphna harmed herself to frame you?
07:33I wouldn't rush to conclusions.
07:36That's enough!
07:37Everyone knows Daphna is kind and pure.
07:39She would never do something so vile.
07:42Skiron, watch your tone!
07:44Stop!
07:46Everyone knows Selye, I's obsessed with Skiron.
07:49Don't make an enemy mind of him.
07:53I once let my love blind me.
07:55No matter what Skiron did, I forgave him.
07:58That will never happen again.
08:01I'll ask you one last time.
08:03Did I do this?
08:04If I offended you in any way, Lady Selye, I apologize.
08:08But there's no need to humiliate me like this.
08:19My father granted me supreme authority.
08:21If I wish to punish you, I need no permission, no excuse.
08:24I'll ask you.
08:35Daphne!
08:42Selye!
08:43You've gone too far!
08:44You insulted me first.
08:46Then you had the nerve to make up lies about me.
08:48You're the one who took this way too far!
08:57Did you see that?
08:59Selye actually reprimanded Skiron in public.
09:03She used to protect him no matter what.
09:17For speaking up earlier.
09:19My engagement ceremony is in seven days.
09:21Be there.
09:22Does it matter?
09:23You're not choosing me anyway.
09:25I might be busy that day.
09:26But I'll send you a generous engagement gift.
09:31I will choose you.
09:33And I'll prepare a gift for you as well.
09:50That gem is called the Tear of the Stars.
09:53It was forged from fragments of fallen stars,
09:56gathered by the three fates themselves.
09:58It carries their blessing for lovers.
10:00A one-of-a-kind treasure in all the realms.
10:06Skiron, thank you for walking with me today.
10:11Daphne, this is my fault.
10:14Selye took her anger out on you because of me.
10:16She's of pure blood, high status.
10:19She's always been able to take whatever she wants.
10:22I'm used to it.
10:25Daphne shouldn't have to endure this.
10:26I'll make it up to her, no matter the cost.
10:29I heard if Phexus forged a gemstone unlike any other.
10:32Could I see it?
10:34Of course.
10:44I want this gem.
10:51Skiron, this must be the one I told you about.
10:54The unique treasure.
10:58If you want it, I'll make sure you have it.
11:09Selyne!
11:10What are you doing here?
11:11Were you following me?
11:15I was here first.
11:17Stop being so paranoid.
11:19Like you've never done it before.
11:47Don't worry.
11:49That won't happen again.
11:51I'll pay 100,000 gold coins for the gem.
11:56Skiron, it's beautiful.
11:59Lady Selene can have any jewel she wants.
12:04I've never owned anything so special.
12:08I'll buy it for you.
12:11Selene, you already have more jewels than you can count.
12:14Can't you let her have this one?
12:16I'll pay three times your offer.
12:21She's never refused me before.
12:23Do you really think I care about a few extra coins?
12:28Lady Selene,
12:31I've heard the tear of the stars,
12:33the fate's blessing for lovers.
12:35Are you buying it to give to Skiron?
12:39So that's it.
12:40She plans to buy it for me.
12:42I promise Daphne I'll fulfill all her wishes.
12:46You will give me the gem eventually anyway.
12:48Might as well give me now.
12:50And plus,
12:51you pushed her down the steps.
12:53You need to compensate her.
12:54So let me get this straight.
12:55You want me to buy the gem
12:57so you can hand it to Daphne and play the hero?
12:59Skiron,
13:00you truly have no shame.
13:04Too bad.
13:05The tear of the stars isn't for you.
13:07Something's wrong.
13:08She's not acting like herself at all.
13:10Hephaectus,
13:11I'm taking it.
13:18Forget it, Skiron.
13:19I don't want it anymore.
13:22Let's go.
13:24No.
13:25You deserve the best in the world.
13:32Don't wrap it!
13:34Fine.
13:35I'll indulge you.
13:37But can you actually afford it?
13:39It's only 300,000 gold.
13:44A full sack of gold
13:46worth far more than 300,000.
13:57What?
13:58That's impossible.
14:06What is this?
14:07Open another bag now!
14:17That's impossible.
14:19How could this happen?
14:21Everything my father ever gifted me,
14:23I used to give you half.
14:24Now,
14:25I've replaced every coin
14:26I ever gave you
14:27with worthless scrap.
14:32What's wrong?
14:33You finally realize you're broke?
14:38Please, wrap it up.
15:03Lady Selene, that was incredible.
15:05Honestly, I've never seen Skiron so humiliated.
15:08But aren't you afraid he'd ignore you once you're engaged?
15:10Do you think I'm choosing him, too?
15:12Of course.
15:13All the gods know you'd do anything for him.
15:15You'd never choose anyone else.
15:16Then the gods will see how wrong they are when the day comes.
15:23My gold doesn't just turn into scrap.
15:27This has to be Selene's doing.
15:30I'm sorry, my love.
15:32You've suffered again because of me.
15:35It's my fault.
15:37Selene is of pure divine blood.
15:39A goddess like her can have anything she wants.
15:42Someone like me.
15:44A half-blood with mortal lineage.
15:47How could I ever dare want what she desires?
15:55Don't say that.
15:57Three years ago, I was cursed by Eris.
15:59I was bleeding to death.
16:01If you hadn't lifted that curse, I'd be dead.
16:05Selene could never compare to you.
16:10This is what happens when you anger me.
16:26The one who lifted your curse wasn't me.
16:29Still, you think I was your savior, you fool.
16:32But a half-blood like me is despised on Olympus.
16:35Every step upward is a struggle.
16:37If you're foolish enough to be my stepping stone,
16:40I'll climb as high as I can.
16:57Father, why are you doing this?
17:01You idiot.
17:03You offended Lady Selene.
17:05All for a low-born half-blood?
17:07Humans no longer worship us as they once were.
17:10For years, Selene's gifts kept our house afloat.
17:13Now she's cut us off.
17:15We're finished.
17:17So that's why my gold turned into scrap.
17:23If you truly want Daphne, then at least wait until after the engagement.
17:27Relax, father.
17:29Selene's just throwing a tantrum.
17:31Her love for me is blind.
17:33Even if she caught Daphne and me in bed together, she'd cry for a day or two, then crawl right
17:38back.
17:41Soon we'll know who Selene chose as her fiancé.
17:44It's Skiron.
17:46There's no other possibility.
17:47I heard Skiron loves someone else.
17:50Looks like today will be entertaining.
18:06Alexander?
18:10Your engagement gift.
18:12But the ceremony hasn't even begun.
18:15Why the rush?
18:16Because I'm leaving.
18:18I won't be there today.
18:20Try it.
18:21If you don't show up, I swear I'll make you regret it.
18:35Selene.
18:37I can't watch another man take your hand.
18:41I don't trust myself to stay calm.
18:44I mean, I'd probably ruin your engagement just for fun.
18:54You dare not show up and see what happens.
18:58Alexander, today's fiancé is you.
19:15What are you doing here?
19:22Lady Selene, I know I'm nothing more than a lowly half-blood, unworthy of even standing before you, but Skiron
19:29and I truly love each other.
19:32Please, don't take him away from me.
19:34And if I insist.
19:36Skiron is mine.
19:40Help!
19:41You brought this on yourself, silly.
19:51Daphne!
20:11Selene, I already agreed to marry you.
20:15Why not stop disturbing Daphne?
20:16Her power is weak.
20:18Her power is weak.
20:18Did you really mean to throw her into divine punishment and kill her?
20:22I didn't push her.
20:29Skiron, please don't blame Lady Selene.
20:32This is my fault.
20:34I only wanted to congratulate her, but I must have angered her instead.
20:44I can't believe it.
20:46Sully using lightning to murder a rival?
20:49This is a disgrace to the gods.
20:52Selene, last time you pushed Daphne down the stairs, she chose not to pursue it.
20:57But this time, I will not tolerate it.
21:00Apologize!
21:01Now!
21:01Apologize to her, never.
21:05Then I'll have my guards force you to kneel.
21:11Take your filthy hands off her!
21:22Alexander!
21:58How dare you show such disrespect to Selene!
22:01Mind your own business.
22:03Mind your own business.
22:03Hermes will arrive any moment to announce me as your fiancée.
22:07Unless Daphne forgives you.
22:08There will be no engagement.
22:10Kneel!
22:11Apologize to her, now!
22:12What are you waiting for?
22:13Make her kneel!
22:25Enough!
22:26Enough!
22:26Enough!
22:40Enough!
22:52I am here to announce Zeus' decree.
22:55Selene Kingsley's chosen fiancée is Alexander.
23:06That's impossible.
23:08There must be a mistake.
23:09And why would you assume I'd choose you?
23:11I have no shortage of options.
23:14Alexander, will you be my fiancée?
23:17If I say yes, you're not going to change your mind just to toy with me, are you?
23:21My father already wrote your name.
23:24Why don't you see for yourself?
23:30If this is Zeus' will, then I'll obey with gratitude.
23:38This can't be real.
23:40Everything you did, pushing Daphne into danger, playing hard to get, wasn't it all just to
23:47get my attention?
23:48How could you possibly choose Alexander, since you brought it up?
23:53Let's clear something up.
23:55I won't allow anyone to slander my fiancée.
23:59Miss Daphne, how exactly did you fall into the lightning?
24:03I was speaking with Lady Selene.
24:05I only mentioned Skirin once, and she suddenly lost her temper.
24:08She summoned divine punishment.
24:10Are you certain?
24:11Because the thunder god Akacheles, he witnessed everything.
24:15Shall we invite him to confirm your story?
24:33Alexander, you summoned me.
24:36How may I serve?
24:37Tell everyone here.
24:39Tell them what you saw.
24:54I witnessed Lady Selene speaking with Daphne.
24:57After Daphne said something, she turned of her own accord and stepped directly into the
25:02lightning.
25:04That is correct.
25:06Daphne followed Lady Selene into the corridor.
25:09At no point did Lady Selene touch her.
25:11It was Daphne herself who walked into the thunder.
25:18God, she actually triggered a divine strike on purpose just to set Selene up.
25:22That's utterly despicable.
25:26The innocent act was a lie.
25:28She is rotten to the core.
25:30Daphne, the evidence is undeniable.
25:33What do you have to say for yourself?
25:37Daphne, is it true?
25:39Did you deliberately step into the lightning, then pretend to be the victim?
25:43I didn't.
25:44Skirin, believe me.
25:46I was just scared.
25:48The thunder was so close, I couldn't think clearly.
25:50But I would never frame Lady Selene.
25:53Never.
25:54Never.
25:58Daphne, you went to great lengths to fabricate this scheme, all to destroy my reputation.
26:04According to divine law, you are sentenced to 30 lashes.
26:10No!
26:11And you, you repeatedly showed me disrespect and attempted to humiliate me in public.
26:19By law, you are sentenced to seven days of confinement.
26:24A fair judgment.
26:25It seems we all misunderstood Lady Selene.
26:29Indeed.
26:30To think Daphne could be so vile.
26:34Skirin trusted the wrong person.
26:36Regret must be tearing him apart.
26:52Regret must be tearing him apart.
27:09Gods of Olympias.
27:11Today we gather to witness the union of my youngest daughter, Selene and Alexander.
27:22If you want to change your mind, this is your last job.
27:28If you're still thinking about Skirin, don't use me as an excuse.
27:32I'm not.
27:33Selene, Alexander, do you swear before all the gods that from this day forward, your power
27:42and your destiny shall be bound together as one?
27:48We swear.
27:50We swear.
27:52We swear.
27:55We swear.
27:58We swear.
27:59We swear to God.
28:03We swear.
28:14We swear to God.
28:16This gem is a treasure from the depths of the Aegean sea.
28:19I can't believe Alexander would give me something so precious.
28:29Will he even like it?
28:31Like what?
28:53Is this for me?
28:58Give it back.
29:06Could you at least put some clothes on?
29:10We're engaged now.
29:12You might as well get used to it.
29:20The tear of the stars.
29:26This is a gift meant for a lover, so don't tell me you've liked me all along.
29:37Don't flatter yourself. I bought it because it was beautiful, that's all.
29:41I'm going to bathe. Your room is over there. Don't get it wrong.
30:11Skiron, I swear I never framed her.
30:17The evidence was undeniable.
30:20How do you expect me to believe you?
30:22Skiron, haven't you realized it yet?
30:25Everything that happened that day was Selene's revenge.
30:31What do you mean?
30:37She hates us.
30:39So she joined forces with Alexander to humiliate us in front of everyone.
30:44Everyone thought she would choose me, yet she chose Alexander instead.
30:50You're right.
30:53I shouldn't have blamed you for everything.
30:55It's alright.
30:57Now that Selene has chosen Alexander,
31:00no one can separate us anymore.
31:03We can finally get engaged.
31:06You're right.
31:10I'll hold our engagement ceremony in the grandest palace.
31:13I'll make my vows before all the gods.
31:16My love,
31:17I'll give you the very best.
31:24I will become Skiron's wife.
31:27I will become a goddess.
31:29No one will stop me.
31:47So this is the luxurious palace,
31:50jointly built by Athena and Hephaestus?
31:52Skiron.
31:53Skiron,
31:53went a thing into Gaetor's hold our Indiguation Ceremony.
31:56Actually perfect.
31:57Leave it to me, my dear.
31:59I'm a regular here.
32:01Skiron,
32:02I'm so lucky to have you.
32:11I'm sorry, sir.
32:12You may not enter.
32:14I'm a frequent guest here.
32:16There must be some mistake.
32:17You have been barred from entering the Crystal Palace.
32:19That's impossible.
32:20You must have this wrong.
32:22Summon the palace guardian.
32:33The scenery here is breathtaking.
32:36Nothing compares to it.
32:39I can tell.
32:41Used to come here often with Skiron.
32:45From now on,
32:46I'll only come here with you.
32:47Skiron can go to hell.
33:12Miss Silly, welcome.
33:14Your presence honors the Crystal Palace.
33:26You, Selene.
33:28This was your doing again, wasn't it?
33:33What nonsense are you talking about?
33:35Stop pretending.
33:36You're the one who had my access revolt, aren't you?
33:42Miss Silly,
33:44I understand that you resent us because Skiron doesn't love you.
33:49But was it really necessary to go this far?
33:52I don't waste my time on people who don't matter.
33:56The Crystal Palace only receives the most exalted of gods.
34:01Skiron, face reality.
34:03Without me, you are nothing.
34:07Say that again?
34:13Touch my fiancé again,
34:15and I promise you will regret it.
34:21Skiron!
34:22You dared to insult our most honored guests.
34:25These two are permanently barred from the Crystal Palace.
34:40I'll never understand how Skiron could throw away someone as noble as Miss Selene for a lowly demigoddess.
34:46If you ask me, Miss Selene spoiled him for far too long.
34:49Now that she's chosen Alexander,
34:51it's time Skiron faced the bitter reality of his own in some significance.
35:01Father!
35:03Get back here immediately, you fool!
35:19How can you even attempt to return her to this place?
35:22If you hadn't lost your senses back then,
35:25Selene would never have chosen another.
35:28You ruined everything!
35:31Father, I don't love Selima.
35:33Other than Zeus' favor, she has nothing to her name.
35:35Daphne is the one I love.
35:37She is beautiful, kind, and she possesses powerful purification abilities.
35:40These are things Selima could never compare to.
35:43I intend to get engaged to Daphne.
35:45Purification abilities?
35:46Three years ago, Eris cursed me.
35:49I was bleeding endlessly,
35:51and thought my life was over.
35:53It was Daphne who appeared,
35:54and lifted the curse!
35:56Among Zeus' descendants,
35:57there are rumors of one who possesses immense purification power,
36:01capable of breaking even the strongest curses.
36:04You are also of Zeus' blood.
36:06Could it be you?
36:07Of course not, you idiot!
