Short filmTranscript
00:03The day my twin sons were born, my husband, Prince Leonidas, held a grand feast in her honor.
00:09I put on my finest woven linen and took my place beside him to receive the court's blessings.
00:15Leonidas, snatching my boots and holding them high over the tower edge.
00:19It is my deep regret to inform you all.
00:24My wife, this so-called holy maiden, betrayed me today.
00:30She and these children will answer you before gods and men!
00:36I milked in my own blood.
00:39Elena, you killed Lyra. You took the only woman I ever loved.
00:43Now, your life is forfeit.
00:46I choked on my own blood, looking desperately at my baby who smashed to pieces.
00:56Sisters of fate, if you are listening, grant me one more chance. I will never make that same choice again.
01:03I opened my eyes with a gasp. The gods had heard me. I had truly been sent back.
01:08To the very day Leonidas was to choose his bride, I will gladly step aside and let Leonidas have Lyra.
01:15I just want to see exactly how Lyra plans to cure him, especially since her holy maiden body was broken
01:22long ago.
01:24Inside a shadowed cave, Queen Hecuba knelt before a witch.
01:28Witch, the royal bloodline of Argus, was cursed a century ago.
01:32On the night of their coming of age, every royal male loses his virility and turns into a savage beast.
01:38The only cure is to marry a holy maiden, a woman personally blessed by Demertus, goddess of fertility.
01:43But my son comes of age soon, and I have not found a holy maiden. I beg of you.
01:50A family in the West has twin daughters. They bear a blessing that can break the curse.
01:56Through marriage to such a maiden, even a cursed man may be made whole enough to beget children.
02:01There, you will find the holy maidens you seek.
02:04Which one is for my son?
02:06The answer is not with me.
02:08We will know him to choose the miracle soon.
02:11Hecuba thanked the witch, and left to curry.
02:14She traveled west, and found my sister and I.
02:17We were both holy mails.
02:19But I was playing, while Lyra was as radiant as a goddess.
02:23I stood by as Hecuba struck a bargain with our parents.
02:27The queen is here. This time, I will not make the same foolish choice.
02:32Lyra and I stood in the grand hall of the palace, waiting to be chosen.
02:37Mother, I choose Lyra.
02:38I looked up, holding his stare.
02:40Leonidas, glaring at me with pure disgust.
02:44Are you about to claim that only you can save me, you hideous creature?
02:47Hold your tongue, or I will have it cut out.
02:52Leonidas, do not be insolent.
02:56Leonidas, glaring impatiently at the queen.
02:59Mother, I do not fear some ancient tale.
03:02It has been a century.
03:03I refuse to believe some ancient curse will actually strike me down.
03:09Silence!
03:10Leonidas clutched his cheek in total disbelief.
03:13The men of our bloodline have only survived because they married holy maidens.
03:17I searched for over a decade to find a maiden of age.
03:20You come of age in seven days.
03:22We are out of time.
03:23You must marry before then.
03:25Hide!
03:26Leonidas, pointing at Lyra.
03:28Then I will marry her.
03:29Her, she, is a holy maiden too.
03:33I refuse to marry a hideous creature like Elena.
03:39Hitherous creature.
03:40That insult again.
03:41In my past life, after he said those words, I threw myself at their feet and risked execution to warn
03:46the queen.
03:46The prince cannot marry my sister.
03:48The blessing no longer remains intact in her.
03:52She no longer carries the sacred gift.
03:55You still think you can marry me, you hideous creature?
03:58Have you lost your mind?
03:59In this life, I would not abase myself for him again.
04:03His highness speaks the truth.
04:07Lyra is also a holy maiden.
04:10Marrying her will yield the exact same result.
04:13Since I was not chosen, I shall take my lead.
04:16Every eye in the hall turned as Duchess Andromache stepped forward.
04:20Since the queen has chosen the younger sister,
04:23allow my son to claim the elder in her stead.
04:27Andromache, what are you doing here?
04:30I am here for the exact same reason as you, my queen.
04:34To ensure my son's survival.
04:36In seven days, Theseus also comes of age.
04:38He has been frail since childhood.
04:40He cannot walk and is confined to a wheelchair.
04:42But I still want him to live.
04:43These is half ruined already.
04:44What difference does a holy lady make?
04:46I can no longer bear heirs for the duke.
04:48I only wish for Theseus to live out his days in peace
04:51without this curse destroying whatever is left of him.
04:55That depends on whether Elena is willing.
04:58After all, Theseus is...
05:01Hardly a whole man.
05:05I am willing.
05:08Child, you have...
05:10My word, you will be honored in my house.
05:14Leonidas' face darkened furiously.
05:17He grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the hall.
05:20Do you know what he is?
05:23Theseus is a useless cripple.
05:25He has no use of his legs.
05:26He cannot even stand.
05:27I thought your highness preferred Lyra.
05:30Who I marry is none of your business.
05:32Fine.
05:33Then I will not leave you in another man's hands.
05:37What are you doing?
05:38Leonidas forced my jaw open
05:40and poured a vial of liquid down my throat.
05:44It is an elixir of lust.
05:47Soon, you will come to me eagerly enough before the end.
05:53Leonidas, you are insane.
05:55The queen and the duchess are right inside.
05:58I am the prince.
06:00No one denies me what I want.
06:03I do not believe in that pathetic curse,
06:06but I will keep you as a safeguard.
06:08A scorching heat flared through my veins.
06:11I gasped,
06:13my trembling hands clawing at my own gown to bear my chest.
06:18Leonidas,
06:19release her.
06:21Leonidas frowned at Theseus.
06:23Feverish and shaking,
06:24I looked up,
06:25straight into Theseus' eyes.
06:28I wrapped my arms around a strikingly handsome man,
06:30pressing messy, desperate kisses along his jaw.
06:33I am burned.
06:34Please,
06:36help me.
06:37He slipped a bitter pill between my lips,
06:39but I refused to let go.
06:40Tangling my limbs around him even tighter,
06:43the man cleaned me down.
06:44Elena,
06:45be still.
06:46I cannot bear it.
06:48Please,
06:49I am begging you.
06:50Please.
06:51Capturing my lips in a fierce kiss
06:53as our bodies tangled together,
06:55he was incredibly strong.
06:56I clung to his neck,
06:58drawing him closer.
06:59Elena,
07:00I swear on my honor,
07:01I will marry you.
07:03When I finally opened my eyes again,
07:05the handsome stranger was sitting by my bed.
07:07He leaned back,
07:08a parchment scroll in his hands.
07:10Seeing me awake,
07:11he poured a goblet of water
07:12and handed it to me.
07:14Who are you?
07:15Are you the one who saved me?
07:20I am Theseus,
07:22your betrothed.
07:23He looked at me with such gentle eyes.
07:26No one had ever looked at me like that before.
07:29Usually,
07:29they only stared at me with pure disgust.
07:32Does my face not disgust you?
07:34I have long since learned
07:35not to measure people by appearances.
07:37Let me tell you a secret.
07:39He told me the tragic story of his mother.
07:42After Lady Andra married my father,
07:44every child she bore died under mysterious circumstances.
07:47I was the only one who survived,
07:49and only because I accidentally fell from a high tower
07:52at three years old,
07:52losing all use of my legs.
07:54Soon after,
07:55my mother was poisoned,
07:56leaving her barren.
07:57By birth,
07:58the throne was my father's.
08:00He was the old king's firstborn,
08:03but the queen's family schemed
08:04to manipulate the old king
08:06into crowning his youngest son instead.
08:09Terrified that my mother would produce a true heir,
08:11the queen murdered my older brothers.
08:13One by one,
08:15these ruined legs
08:16are the only reason I was spared.
08:18I sat there in stunned silence.
08:20My mind was reeling.
08:22I knew none of this in my past life,
08:24and I only ever heard that Theseus
08:26took his own life.
08:27He reached out,
08:28gently wrapping his hand over mine.
08:36For all his calm,
08:38I caught the hesitation in his eyes.
08:40I am willing,
08:42Thalene.
08:42A harsh scoff echoed from behind me.
08:46Leonidas stood leaning against the doorframe.
08:48He had followed us,
08:49arms crossed.
08:51Elena,
08:52have you completely lost your mind?
08:54Marry this cripple,
08:55and your life will be a living hell.
08:57It is none of your business.
09:00I will make you a deal.
09:02I will convince the queen
09:04to let me take both you and Lyra in six days.
09:07She will be my queen,
09:09and you will be my compile.
09:13How does that sound?
09:14I snatched my arm out of his grip.
09:17If you have lost your mind,
09:18then pray at the temple.
09:20Perhaps the gods will cure what reason cannot.
09:24And did you really think I would just forget
09:26that you forced an elixir down my throat?
09:30Without another word,
09:31I turned and ran.
09:32His furious roar echoed behind me.
09:35Elena,
09:36you will regret this.
09:38I hurried back to Theseus
09:40and took his hands in mine.
09:42When can we marry?
09:44In three days,
09:46if you are willing.
09:50I will come back for you tomorrow.
09:52It is getting late.
09:53I must return home.
09:55But the moment I returned home that night,
09:58my own parents struck me unconscious
10:00and locked me in the cellar.
10:02I woke up bound tightly in rough hemp rope,
10:05a dirty rag shoved into my mouth,
10:07lying among shattered clay pots.
10:10You cannot marry Theseus.
10:11He is a useless cripple.
10:13Leonicus will surely kill him
10:14and we will not let you drag this family down with him.
10:16We have already made a deal with the prince.
10:18In two days,
10:19we will announce you died of a sudden fever.
10:20When Leonicus weds Lima,
10:22you will be sent with Lima
10:23to serve in her household.
10:24I thrashed wildly against the ropes,
10:26but they walked away.
10:27For the next two days,
10:29I lay on the freezing dirt,
10:31starving and trembling in the pitch black.
10:33My betrothed has not been seen for days.
10:36I demand to see her.
10:38Elena has fallen gravely.
10:41She is in no condition to see anyone.
10:45I have brought the most skilled healer in the city.
10:49Prince Leonidas already sent the royal healer days ago.
10:52Then Leonidas came in person.
10:54He opened the cellar door,
10:56crouched down and mockingly patted my cheek.
10:59Get better to be a woman in my bed.
11:01He walked out,
11:03his cruel laughter echoing in the dark.
11:06I lay on the cold ground,
11:07suffocating in pure despair.
11:10The fates gave me a second chance.
11:12Am I truly going to lose it all again?
11:15Lyra slipped into the dark cellar.
11:17You are quite the schemer, sister.
11:19To think the prince actually wants to keep you as his concubine.
11:23I motioned for her to remove the filthy gag from my mouth.
11:29You cannot save him.
11:31That is why he wants to claim me as well.
11:34You are lying!
11:35He knows perfectly well that I can cure him!
11:38Whatever blessing you had,
11:39it will not hold now.
11:41I saw exactly what you did that day.
11:43All the color instantly drained from Lyra's face.
11:46Her lips trembled.
11:47A virgin?
11:48No.
11:49You are making this up.
11:51You are lying!
11:52You are lying!
11:52Look at me, Lyra.
11:55What would I possibly gain from lying to you right now?
11:59Now, the blessing has already left you.
12:01You cannot save Leonidas.
12:03A venomous glare flashing in her eyes.
12:05Even if I am doomed,
12:08I will drag you down with me.
12:10She pulled a small vial from her robes,
12:12forcefully gripped my jaw,
12:14and poured the dark liquid down my throat.
12:16It matters little.
12:18The prince planned to claim you today regardless.
12:22Once your body breaks his curse,
12:24I will still stand where I was meant to stand.
12:27I thrashed wildly against the rips.
12:30The vial liquid burned down my throat.
12:32What did you give me?
12:34Just a little something to make you perfectly obedient.
12:38You cannot escape this, sister.
12:39The moment you cure the prince,
12:41I will silence you for good,
12:42and my secret will die with you.
12:44Suddenly, Lyra heard footsteps coming from outside the cellar.
12:47She hid in a secluded corner.
12:49Moments later,
12:50the heavy door groaned open,
12:51and Leonidas stepped inside.
12:53You will be my concubine in two days anyway, Elena.
12:56Then let me test what your body can do
12:58before the wedding night
12:59to ensure I do not tear your precious sister apart.
13:03The potion took hold.
13:04A feverish heat surged through my body.
13:07Do not touch me!
13:08I am betrothed to Theseus!
13:11Leonidas crouched beside me.
13:13You are still dreaming of that useless cripple?
13:16A man who cannot even stand?
13:18His rough hands violently tearing at my gown.
13:21My head spun dizzily,
13:23and every ounce of strength drained from my limbs.
13:26His heavy breathing filled me with pure disgust.
13:29The fates gave me a second chance.
13:32And yet, am I still doomed to suffer the exact same end?
13:35Just then,
13:36a deafening crash shattered the silence.
13:38The heavy cellar door was kicked open.
13:40Theseus sat in his wheeled chair,
13:42flanked by two towering sentinels.
13:44His eyes burned with an icy, murderous fury.
13:47She is promised to me.
13:50Step away from her.
13:52Leonidas straightened up,
13:54his face darkening.
13:56What are you doing here, you useless cripple?
13:58This is a private family Escher.
14:00She is my betrothed.
14:02Furthermore, you are down here,
14:04forcing yourself upon a woman
14:05the realm believes is dying of a grave illness.
14:08Will you disgrace the queen with this as well?
14:11Leonidas's face twisted through shades of rage and panic.
14:15He glared down at me.
14:17Damn you to Hades, Theseus.
14:19Enjoy your fleeting victory.
14:24Lyra tried to slink away in the shadows,
14:26but Theseus shot his hand out,
14:28seizing her wrist in a vice grip.
14:31What did you give her?
14:33Just a common herb to make her docile.
14:37It will not harm her.
14:39Out of my sight.
14:41If you ever cross my path again,
14:43I will not be so merciful.
14:45Lyra scrambled to her feet
14:47and fled the cellar in terror.
14:48Theseus moved to my side,
14:50stripping off his heavy cloak
14:51and wrapping it tightly around my trembling body,
14:54my vision blurring into darkness.
14:56But through the heavy haze,
14:57I felt strong arms scoop me up
15:00from the freezing dirt.
15:01He had risen from his wheeled chair.
15:03Do not be afraid.
15:05I am taking you home.
15:08The carriage tore through the night.
15:10I leaned into Theseus' chest.
15:11My body is still burning with an unnatural heat,
15:14but my heart felt completely at peace.
15:18How did you know I was in the cellar?
15:21I had men watching your estate.
15:22He lowered his head and pressed a gentle kiss.
15:25I knew the moment they locked you away,
15:26but I could not force my way in
15:28without putting your life at risk.
15:30When my sentils saw Lyra sneaking in tonight,
15:33I knew they were making their move.
15:35Upon arriving at the manor,
15:36Lady Andra already had a trusted healer waiting.
15:40Those vicious beasts!
15:42I will bring this before the king tomorrow!
15:44No.
15:45We will handle this ourselves.
15:47Do not worry, my lady.
15:48They will face their reckoning.
15:52Our wedding must take place soon.
15:56Mother, have you prepared the floral crown for Elena?
15:59Of course I have not forgotten.
16:01The wedding between Theseus and me
16:03took place shortly after.
16:05Lady Andra personally placed a woven crown upon my head.
16:08I wove this crown with my own hands.
16:12You will be happy forever, Elena.
16:16I walked toward Theseus' chambers.
16:18Just as we neared the courtyard,
16:20Leonidas' bridal procession emerged from an intersecting street.
16:24You are welcome to what I refused.
16:26To eagerly claim a soiled woman.
16:28I suppose you are perfectly matched one ruined lineage taking in another.
16:34Your Highness,
16:35I married the only woman I desire.
16:37I have no time for your pity.
16:40Let us proceed.
16:42As they passed one another,
16:44Leonidas suddenly blocked his path again.
16:46Lyra is also a holy maiden.
16:48Even if you somehow survive the curse,
16:50you have nothing to challenge me with.
16:52I am the sole prince of this realm.
16:54It matters not what royal blood flows in your veins.
16:57Were it not for your mother's treacherous schemes,
16:59you would not be the one destined for the throne.
17:01Hardly.
17:02I am the prince.
17:03I am favored by the gods.
17:06Do not speak too soon.
17:07The true peril of tonight has yet to pass.
17:11Let us see whose bride holds the true cure tonight.
17:14Your Lyra,
17:15or the woman I love.
17:17Leonidas let out a cold scoff.
17:19The two bridal processions crossed and moved on.
17:22At Theseus' manor,
17:23the wedding proceeded.
17:24Lady Ondra welcomed us at the threshold.
17:27Theseus sat in his wheeled chair,
17:29and I stood before him.
17:30We exchanged our vows,
17:32while Theseus tied a woolen girdle around my waist.
17:35I plucked a few ivy leaves from my floral crown,
17:38and placed them upon the altar.
17:40Together, we shared a chalice of mead.
17:42There was no grand feast.
17:44Only a few of our closest kin.
17:47The wedding night.
17:48Candlelight flickered softly across the chamber.
17:50Thank you for choosing to be my wife.
17:52I am the one who should be thanking you, Theseus,
17:54for saving me,
17:56time and time again.
17:57In one swift motion,
17:58Theseus pinned me against the soft furs of the bed,
18:01his lips trailing hot kisses along my neck.
18:04His touch was urgent,
18:06and I met his passion with a wild, answering fire.
18:09Just as the heat between us reached a fever pitch,
18:12a frantic pounding shook our chamber door.
18:15Elena!
18:16The Sentinel said you have already consummated the marriage.
18:19If you restored him,
18:21then you can restore me!
18:23Ask what you will, Elena.
18:25Gold, titles, and estate.
18:27I will lay it all at your feet!
18:29Theseus paused,
18:30looking down at me with a faint,
18:32amused smirk.
18:34Shall we see what he wants?
18:35I reached up,
18:36looping my arms tightly around his neck
18:38to pull him back down.
18:39Let him wait.
18:41Right now,
18:42we have far more pressing matters to attend to.
18:45His voice dropped to a low, seductive rasp
18:48that sent shivers down my spine.
18:50Let him wait.
18:51The chamber was completely swallowed by our tangled heat,
18:54and I never heard another sound from the outside world.
18:58The next day,
18:59I did not wake until noon.
19:00Sunlight streamed through the high windows,
19:02casting a warm glow across the heavy furs of our bed.
19:05The handmaidens entered softly to help me bathe and dress,
19:08whispering that Theseus had ridden for the royal palace at dawn.
19:11My lord specifically ordered us not to wake you.
19:14He wished for you to rest.
19:16The handmaidens looked at me with eyes full of deep reverence and gratitude.
19:21The balance of the court had begun to shift.
19:23When Theseus returned from the palace,
19:26he sought me out immediately.
19:28Leonardus tore his bedchamber apart in a blind rage last night.
19:32Lyra was beaten half to death.
19:34They found her covered in her own blood.
19:37And what else?
19:38Theseus took a seat,
19:39his expression darkening with a complicated weight.
19:43It is his condition.
19:44I saw him from afar in the great hall this morning.
19:48His eyes have gone bloodshot and wild.
19:50His nails are elongating into claws.
19:53When he speaks,
19:54his voice is gertrial,
19:55like a beast's growl,
19:57picking his throat.
19:58He is utterly volatile,
20:00shattering everything in his path.
20:02The queen tried to calm him,
20:03and he violently shoved her to the stone floor.
20:06So the royal curse is truly that horrible.
20:09Thank the fates,
20:10I was able to break yours.
20:12The high priest confirmed the curse is taking hold.
20:14He will grow more feral by the day
20:15until every last shred of his humanity is gone.
20:18And Lyra?
20:20Confined to her bed,
20:21unable to even stand.
20:23She brought this upon herself.
20:25Over the next few days,
20:27horrific whispers of Leonidas' descent into madness
20:30flooded the city-state.
20:32Then,
20:32a gilded carriage rushed up our estate path,
20:36halting before the gates.
20:38The heavy curtains parted,
20:40and Queen Hecuba stumbled out.
20:42Her former arrogance and regal poise
20:44were entirely gone.
20:46The moment she saw me,
20:47her eyes lit up with desperate hope.
20:49She rushed forward,
20:50seizing my hands in a crushing grip.
20:53Lady Elena!
20:55I beg of you,
20:56please save my son!
20:57The king and I only have him!
20:59If he falls to the beast,
21:00the entire realm will be doomed!
21:02I gently slipped my hands from Hecuba's frantic grip,
21:05took a measured step back,
21:06and offered a formal bow.
21:08My queen,
21:09I cannot save him.
21:13Impossible!
21:15Lyra confessed everything!
21:17You are the true Holy Merton!
21:20You cured Theseus!
21:23But is Lyra not a Holy Merton as well?
21:26She is ruined!
21:27She cannot save my son!
21:29She admitted it all!
21:30An ashen pallor washed over the queen's face.
21:33A silence fell between us.
21:35I am begging you,
21:37please save my only son!
21:39If you cure him,
21:41I swear to you upon the gods,
21:42I will never scheme against Lady Andra or her son again.
21:45I will leave your family in peace forever!
21:48I stared down at the kneeling woman.
21:50Once, she sat so high upon her throne,
21:52she would not even spare me a passing glance.
21:55Now, she knelt at my feet,
21:56all pride gone.
21:57Her desperation, at least,
21:59was absolute.
22:00I cannot guarantee his salvation.
22:02Lead the way, my queen.
22:03But my husband comes with us.
22:06But...
22:08If that does not suit you,
22:09then we have nothing more to discuss.
22:12Fine.
22:13He comes.
22:15Do you truly intend to save him?
22:20I shook my head with a faint smile.
22:22It is far too late for me to save him.
22:24Then why did you agree to come?
22:26Do you not wish to see how the high and mighty look
22:28when they are finally brought to their knees?
22:30When we arrived at the prince's palace,
22:32the first sight that greeted us
22:34was two figures kneeling before the grand doors.
22:40Elena, it would seem those are your parents.
22:42Their cheeks were swollen,
22:44and dried blood caked the corners of their mouths.
22:47As they saw me escorted from the carriage
22:49by the queen herself,
22:51a feverish spark of salvation flared in their eyes.
22:54They crawled toward me on their knees,
22:57frantically clawing at the hem of my gown.
22:59Elena!
23:00You came!
23:01Please, you must plead with the queen to spare us!
23:03It was Lyra's doing, not ours!
23:05We had nothing to do with this!
23:06You are mistaken.
23:08I am the wife of Lord Theseus.
23:09I am no daughter of yours.
23:11Your eldest daughter died in that freezing cellar
23:13when you abandoned her to the dark.
23:17Lyra sprawled on the stone floor,
23:19covered in blood and barely clinging to life.
23:22Her delicate linen gown torn to shreds.
23:24Every inch of her exposed skin
23:26was marred by dark, violent bruising.
23:29Leonidas had shown her no mercy.
23:31Hearing me enter, Lyra's head snapped up.
23:34Her bloodshot eyes locked onto me.
23:36Wild as a cornered viper.
23:38She lunged at me with a feral shriek.
23:41Elena!
23:42Why are you here?
23:44You did this to me!
23:46I will kill you!
23:47She threw herself at me.
23:49Theseus delivered a kick to her chest,
23:51sending her flying backward.
23:53Lyra crashed onto the hard stone floor,
23:55coughing violently, unable to rise again.
23:57Who is this frantic woman?
23:59I do not know her.
24:00Why does she spout such madness?
24:03Sentinels!
24:03Drave this wretched girl from my sight!
24:06She has gone utterly mad!
24:07The sentinels roughly dragging Lyra out by her arms.
24:10She screamed in defiance,
24:11but no one paid her any heed.
24:13Deep within the bedchamber,
24:14inside a massive iron cage,
24:16a beast thrashed and howled relentlessly.
24:18It still bore the twisted remnants of Leonidas' features,
24:22a fading shred of his humanity.
24:25It appears you have lost the wager, Your Highness.
24:27Well?
24:29Did your precious Lyra fail to save you?
24:32Leonidas' bloodshot eyes suddenly widened
24:35as they locked onto Theseus' legs.
24:37Though still seated in his wheeled chair,
24:39Theseus' calves were visibly thicker,
24:41the muscles corded and strong.
24:42A look of absolute, terrified disbelief
24:45washed over Leonidas' feral face.
24:47Your legs!
24:49His voice distorted into a guttural, beastly roar.
24:53This cannot be!
24:56How are you healed?
24:57Why?
24:59My wife succeeded where your bride failed.
25:03Mockingly, Theseus rose smoothly to his feet,
25:06took two steps before the iron cage.
25:09I only discovered it on our wedding night, Your Highness.
25:11It seems a true Holy Maiden's gift
25:14does far more than break a simple curse.
25:16It can restore even a crippled body to perfect strength.
25:19He paced a few more steps before the iron bars,
25:22taunting the beast within.
25:24Leonidas' mind completely shattered.
25:27Elena!
25:28If Lyra and those wretched parents had not deceived me,
25:32it should have been you!
25:34You were meant to be my bride!
25:36Leonidas, your hubris blinds you even now.
25:40No!
25:41He thrust a monstrous arm through the iron bars,
25:44clawing toward me.
25:45If you agree to save me,
25:46I will cast Lyla aside and take you as my royal bride.
25:49I swear to the gods,
25:50the crown shall be yours and yours alone!
25:53For a moment, I was tempted to toy with him.
25:56Once the queen stepped out,
25:57I fixed him with a cold,
25:59merciless stare.
26:00I turned my gaze to the queen.
26:02I wish to speak with the prince alone.
26:03I stared into his face,
26:05a face already turning monstrous.
26:08Leonidas,
26:09holy maidens are rarely born with such beauty.
26:12It is only when they are claimed by a man that they truly bloom.
26:16Elena,
26:16what are you talking about?
26:18I let out a heavy sigh.
26:21Leonidas,
26:22it is not that I do not wish to save you.
26:25It is beyond my power.
26:27The heavy doors flew open as Queen Hecuba burst back into the chamber.
26:30That is a lie!
26:32You are the true holy maidens!
26:34You must be able to cure him!
26:35I shook my head slowly.
26:38Lyra is a holy maimon as well.
26:40Yet she could not save Leonidas.
26:43Shall I tell you why?
26:44From the corridor,
26:45Lyra had somehow broken free from the sentinels.
26:48She stumbled blindly into the chamber.
26:51You!
26:53You vile serpent!
26:55You must have done something!
26:58Otherwise I would have cured the prince!
27:01Lyra,
27:02do you truly not remember what you did on the night you came of age?
27:05I merely went for a stroll in the moonlit gardens.
27:08What else could I have done?
27:09Even now,
27:10are you still clinging to your lies?
27:12A holy maiden is bound by the gods to a single mortal in her lifetime.
27:16Should she forsake that sacred vow and lie with another man,
27:19she draws the fury of Olympus.
27:20A holy maiden is bound by the gods to a single mortal in her lifetime.
27:24Should she forsake that sacred vow and lie with another man,
27:27she draws the fury of Olympus.
27:29The blessing turns to poison.
27:31Any man who claims her thereafter is marked for a swift and agonizing death.
27:35Lyra,
27:36you ceased to be untouched long before this marriage.
27:39You lying whore!
27:40You swore to me you were untouched!
27:41You even wept,
27:43begging me to be gentle!
27:44How could this be?
27:45There has been no such legend in a hundred years!
27:47Do not poison them against me,
27:48Elena!
27:49Whether I am slandering you or not,
27:51you know the truth better than anyone,
27:53Lyra.
27:54We are twins,
27:55cast from the exact same womb.
27:57Once,
27:57we shared the very same face.
27:59But as you laid with man after man,
28:01draining their lifeblood to feed your own,
28:03your beauty blossomed into the radiant mask you wear today.
28:06No!
28:07By what right do you accuse me?
28:09Think of the men who took you to their beds before the prince.
28:11Did they not all perish of sudden mysterious afflictions?
28:15The queen need only look to their fresh graves to find the truth.
28:18So it was you,
28:20you treacherous whore,
28:22you doomed my son!
28:23Sentinels,
28:24take her away!
28:25Let her answer for this sacrament in fire!
28:27Sister!
28:28Sister,
28:28please,
28:29I beg you,
28:29save me!
28:30I was wrong!
28:31I know I was wrong!
