00:00:00A hundred brides kissed him. Nothing. I was only the maid carrying tea, told to stay invisible.
00:00:12Then I tripped, and my whole life shattered at his feet.
00:00:20His eyes opened, past every jeweled bride, past every crown they prepared,
00:00:25he looked at me, the kneeling maid, and he rose, walking down only for me.
00:00:33He pulled me up, leaned to my ear, and the whole hall gasped.
00:00:37My stepmother's face went white with rage. I tried to flee, but he locked my wrist, refusing to let go.
00:00:46I tried to flee, but he locked my wrist, refusing to let go.
00:00:53My stepmother reached for me, and froze under his stare.
00:00:57For the first time, someone stood between them and me.
00:01:03A king claimed me before everyone, but my stepmother's eyes locked onto my wrist,
00:01:09where a secret mark hides. One kiss made me the most hunted girl in this palace.
00:01:30She forced me to my knees, calling me a filthy maid who seduced a king.
00:01:39The whole hall laughed, but I lifted my head, calm, ready to ask one deadly question.
00:01:46If I'm so worthless, why did a hundred noble brides fail, and only I could wake him?
00:01:54Silence. Nobody could answer.
00:01:56And the king began to rise from his throne.
00:02:04He walked down and lifted me up, then turned on her.
00:02:07I chose her, his look said, not your daughter.
00:02:11For the first time, a king defended a maid before all.
00:02:22He couldn't save me with words. She smiled and sent me to the cruelest labor.
00:02:27He nearly exploded, but I shook my head. Don't fight for me, not yet.
00:02:34They sent me to break me with the hardest labor, but I walked out with my back straight,
00:02:39hiding the mark on my wrist. They had no idea who I really was.
00:02:45they sent me to break me with the hardest labor but i walked out with my back straight
00:02:50hiding the mark on my wrist they had no idea who i really was they buried me in the filthiest
00:02:58labor to force me out but at midnight every heavy task was already done for me then he
00:03:04stepped out of the shadows he saw my raw blistered hands and his jaw tightened then he wrapped his
00:03:11own royal cloak around me servants froze staring a queen shouldn't do this his eyes said
00:03:18i tried to give it back but he pressed my hand still my heart cracked open against my will
00:03:25then serena turned the corner and her face twisted with hate serena ripped his cloak right off my
00:03:32shoulders and tore it apart a maid doesn't deserve his things her face screamed
00:03:42then he turned around and the air went ice cold
00:03:48he picked up the torn pieces and draped them back on me even ruined his eyes told her touch
00:03:55what's mine again and you'll regret it i couldn't breathe
00:04:02serena tripped me on purpose spilling tea across the nobles then cried like a victim a clumsy maid
00:04:09unfit to serve they sneered my stepmother moved to throw me out
00:04:17i knelt and picked up the broken pieces saying nothing then he came down from the throne
00:04:23walked through them all and took the tea straight from my hands
00:04:32his fingers covered mine on the cup then he drank the very tea they mocked before everyone
00:04:38her tea is served to me alone his eyes declared the hall fell apart
00:04:47but my stepmother wasn't watching the crowd
00:04:50she saw it the moment our fingers touched the deathly cold left his face her eyes narrowed

00:05:02he turned the humiliation into devotion shielding me again but her eyes crawled toward my hidden wrist
00:05:10his love kept saving me and dragging me closer to death
00:05:18to break free of him i buried myself in the hardest night labor but he found me sharing the load
00:05:25again

00:05:55down at my wrist and a golden royal mark was glowing there

00:06:10then footsteps echoed down the corridor someone was coming
00:06:19my stepmother appeared at the corridor's mouth eyes sweeping for secrets he shielded me with his
00:06:25body but the mark on my wrist still burns and she's hunting for it

00:17:31he opened his mouth to vouch but i gripped his arm begging him with my eyes don't
00:17:37then she cut in first declaring she'd investigate my origins starting today
00:17:46she announced it before everyone at the family banquet she'd dig out exactly where this maid came from

00:18:09a death sentence dressed as an inquiry he stepped up to defend me
00:18:17before he could speak she cut in unless you dare vouch for her with your throne itself
00:18:23he paused rare for him the whole hall held its breath i gripped his arm
00:18:32i begged him with my eyes don't but he looked at me certain and spoke before everyone
00:18:39i vouch my blood froze and my stepmother smiled she'd been waiting for this

00:19:02she'd set the trap certain she controlled everything
00:19:05he shielded me silently declaring war but behind his back in my terror a spark lit i would not die

00:19:19she declared the credit of waking him belonged to serena made me serve dishes behind the seats
00:19:25and forced me to confess i'd falsely approached the king i lowered my head to comply
00:19:35he left his seat walked behind the chairs and took my hand before the whole family
00:19:41he lifted me from serving dishes and led the maid to the banquet table itself
00:19:50you'd disrupt the banquet for a maid she snapped he didn't answer her he only looked at me
00:19:56gentle and certain and asked where do you want to sit
00:20:04my eyes flicked to the queen's seat beside the throne then darted away sitting there meant more
00:20:10danger more exposure but he gestured to it telling me that's yours
00:20:18i drew a breath the terror in me hardening into resolve he held my hand silently supporting me sit or
00:20:26retreat every eye waited and i stopped being afraid to choose
00:20:35why does only you a maid get close to him you seduced him she pressed i lifted my eyes
00:20:42calm and turned the rule on her let serena wake him before everyone
00:20:50cornered serena bowed and performed the right on him perfectly but he stayed shut cold as stone she
00:20:56tried again and again panicking the whole table watched her fail
00:21:06i said it lightly credit can be awarded but who he recognizes you can't reward the table
00:21:12enough for her you påpe-select so you can't wait until you use it to bear in your hands
00:21:12the table just so many people understood serena went white i'd taken back the glory they stole from me
00:21:21humiliated she slammed the table and ordered me out i bowed to leave but the king rose
00:21:27and walked straight to the queen's seat beside his throne
00:21:34he gestured for serena to rise from the queen's seat she stood trembling with disbelief then he
00:21:42turned to me gentle and certain the throne seat was about to change hands she ordered me out but
00:21:55he walked to the queen's seat where serena sat gestured for her to rise then took my hand and
00:22:01led me toward it every eye locked on me he seated me in the queen's chair himself turned to the
00:22:11family
00:22:11and declared this seat is only for her then he bent to serve me food the hall erupted
00:22:22serena broke down screaming why he froze her with a glare but my stepmother wasn't even looking at
00:22:29her daughter she was gripping a thick yellowed adoption record
00:22:36she gripped that yellowed record like a weapon smiling coldly past her crying daughter and
00:22:42ordered dig out this maid's adoption records from 20 years ago my blood ran cold
00:22:51she declared she'd investigate everything he shielded me silently at war but behind my terror
00:22:57a spark lit again the adoption record was about to be opened so would my secret
00:23:08she spread the record and sneered 20 years ago you were a nameless foundling dumped at our gate
00:23:15such filth fit for the queen's seat she'd cut my deepest wound open
00:23:23i fled to the room trembling he followed pressed me to the wall took my shaking hand and whispered
00:23:30no matter where you came from i claim you my heart shook
00:23:38he leaned close certain but i pressed his hand still terror cutting through the more you claim me
00:23:45the harder she hunts my origins to death he couldn't let go
00:23:53he wiped my tear forehead against mine his silence promising to protect me
00:23:59then outside the door my stepmother muttered this record is wrong who altered the intake
00:24:08the intake record had been altered for the first time she looked afraid and i understood my origins hid
00:24:15something even she feared the balance of power was beginning to turn
00:24:24she ordered the adoption record laid out page by page before everyone to brand me nameless for good
00:24:31the pages spread across the table her sharp eyes scoured every line
00:24:39at one page her hand froze the intake date and handler bore a deliberately smeared mark altered
00:24:47her face cracked gripped by an old memory she thought she'd buried clean
00:24:55her fury turned to fear for the first time she truly looked at me wondering who i really was
00:25:01i met her gaze unflinching i'd found something even she dreaded
00:25:09she slammed the record shut masking her panic and announced this entry is suspicious seal the archive
00:25:16vault i'll investigate the old accounts myself she was hiding something badly
00:25:25she gripped the altered record and hurried off faster than ever for the first time dread overcame
00:25:31her cruelty 20 years she'd buried it now i was digging it up
00:25:41she crowned serena first air and threw me into archive duty to crush my hopes
00:25:46but i played along this was my chance to find that altered intake record myself
00:25:55i searched fast closing in on the record just as i reached the altered page the door burst open
00:26:03she stormed in snatched the file and accused me of stealing royal archives
00:26:10i didn't argue but her panic told me everything this archive hid what she desperately wanted buried
00:26:18the harder she sealed it the more certain i became the truth was here
00:26:26she ordered me to haul every scrap of waste file out i obeyed lifting the heavy bundles then in one
00:26:34discarded roll a strange yellowed paper edge caught the lamplight
00:26:40i tucked that yellowed edge deeper into the bundle my heart pounding
00:26:46she'd sealed the vault but missed this hidden in the waste files might be the crack she couldn't erase
00:26:59serena sneered ordering the maid to haul the files out and crawl back to the kitchen
00:27:03as i lifted one roll a yellowed page slipped free a royal family tree
00:27:11one branch had been brutally inked out yet beneath the smear the strokes revealed a true royal line
00:27:18deliberately erased i froze my hand flew to the pendant on my chest
00:27:28the king appeared at the door serena moved to report me but he stepped between us shielding me and
00:27:35whispered i'm here i clutched the deadly page out of sight
00:27:42he sensed i'd found something hidden behind him i rolled the page into my sleeve our eyes met sharing yet
00:27:50another secret then serena ran out screaming for her mother
00:27:57footsteps rushed closer he shielded me i pressed the page hidden in my sleeve the proof that a true

00:30:46to numb my stepmother i declared before all i just want to be a maid again nothing more between

00:31:52she'd locked onto the truth at last the hunt for my blood had begun
00:32:02she threw a grand engagement crowning serena the destined queen and ordered me out of the palace
00:32:09today serena wearing the crown sneered leave now while you still can
00:32:18the officiant called for his vow but he stood silent his eyes passing over serena straight to
00:32:24me at the door everyone could see it his heart wasn't with her
00:32:32he wouldn't speak the vow his eyes locked on me in the dead silence he slowly raised his hand
00:32:39not to the contract but to the crown on serena's head
00:32:47he gripped the crown this is on the wrong head serena went white
00:32:52the destined queen denied before all the hall erupted my stepmother shot up her face turning to stone
00:33:01he began to lift the crown from serena's head his cold eyes crossing the hall to me
00:33:07he was destroying this engagement for me my eyes burned what was he doing
00:33:18he lifted the crown from serena and to gasps from all walked past the entire hall straight to me
00:33:25at the door he stopped before me and declared the one i want is her
00:33:34he strode back seized the engagement contract and tore it to shreds before everyone paper rained down
00:33:41serena broke then he turned to me reaching out his hand
00:33:49i stared at his hand torn he'd dragged everything into the open he took my hand led me to the
00:33:56center
00:33:56and kissed my brow before all now there was no hiding
00:34:03he stood shielding me his devotion now fully exposed then my eyes fell on his hand paler colder than the
00:34:12rainy night he was paying some price for claiming me
00:34:18i clutched his icy hand my heart twisting he didn't seem to notice his own paleness only looked at me
00:34:26certain his devotion hit a price i couldn't yet see
00:34:35she demanded before all what makes a maid worthy of breaking a royal engagement
00:34:41he took my hand and led me behind the throne's curtain away from their prying eyes
00:34:49behind the curtain my sleeve brushed his and a stack of papers spilled out
00:34:54investigation records on the maid's origins
00:34:58each one quietly buried by him he'd been shielding me all along
00:35:05this devotion was his cover shielding me from every search
00:35:09i touched his hand icy wrong his face paler than ever how long have you hidden this why are you
00:35:17fading
00:35:20he didn't deny it he just closed his eyes admitting everything he'd known i was the true blood all along
00:35:27and shielded me with his devotion and his own fading life
00:35:35i clutched the records demanding the truth through tears he held my hand about to speak the secret he'd
00:35:42buried for so long something terrible hid behind his fading face
00:35:51he confessed from the moment i caught the queen's scent on you i knew you were the erased blood the
00:35:58devotion was all a shield then he said something far worse
00:36:06every time i come near you he whispered i lose a year of the life my hundred year sleep bought
00:36:12my blood froze his paleness all for me and he said it's worth it
00:36:21i broke down in his arms his fading was all for me
00:36:25then we can never be close again i sobbed every time i accept your love i'm killing you and i
00:36:32shoved him away
00:36:36he staggered his pale face weakening his steps unsteady yet he ignored his own body
00:36:42lunging after me seizing my wrist he'd rather lose his life than let me go
00:36:51he clutched my wrist weak yet burning choosing me over his own life i wanted to push him away to
00:36:58save him
00:36:59but feared he'd collapse loving him was killing him
00:37:08to stop him from fading for me i blamed myself before all i clung to him i schemed for power
00:37:15let him go i'd smear myself to save his life
00:37:22he pulled me into his arms before everyone and declared aloud she didn't cling to me i begged her to
00:37:29stay then he bent down ignoring every watching eye
00:37:37he kissed me before all refusing to let me smear myself away but as we touched his face visibly
00:37:44faded another shade and the mark on my chest blazed gold
00:37:52the mark blazed against his deepening pallor he didn't care how much that kiss cost him
00:37:57my stepmother locked onto the glow her face hardening into a cold certain smile
00:38:07she clapped slowly smiling cold then at the coronation i'll verify the bloodline before all
00:38:14and purge every imposter is this made true blood or a filthy fraud the death trap was set

00:38:38i kept my back to him faking indifference but behind the mask my eyes burned red my fingers shook he
00:38:46watched from afar and the doubt grew this wasn't true coldness

00:39:40she placed serena to serve him closely replacing me see serena gloated the maid's been swapped out
00:39:48but he stayed ice cold to her his eyes following only me in the corner
00:39:55he ignored serena rose and walked straight to me i dodged again faking cold the more i fled the more
00:40:03certain he became my indifference was an act hiding something
00:40:10he cornered me against a pillar his sharp eyes reading my trembling fingers then hidden from view he
00:40:17gently caught the wrist i kept pulling away i couldn't escape his gaze
00:40:25he leaned to my ear hidden from all and asked softly you dodge me because every touch costs me a
00:40:33year of

00:41:55i stopped pushing and held him back our hearts finally bare he rested his chin on my hair cherishing
00:42:03it then down the corridor my stepmother's footsteps quietly stopped
00:42:13she forced me to sign the exile papers sealing my disgrace with serena already crowned and waiting
00:42:19i raised the pen to sign then he stormed in
00:42:28he snatched the exile papers and tore them apart before everyone then he took my hand pulling me from
00:42:35the door of disgrace straight to the side of the throne
00:42:42he stood me beside the throne and declared to all she is my only queen anyone who calls her discarded

00:42:58he kissed my brow and turned to her who is queen the coronation will decide her face was stone then
00:43:05she
00:43:06smiled coldly then at the coronation she said will verify the blood
00:43:12she declared the coronation would verify the blood wrapping murder in sacred ritual he shielded me
00:43:19silently silently at war yet his frame wavered he claimed me and pushed us onto the killing stage
00:43:29humiliated she played her final card summoning the household the coronation will verify every blood
00:43:36near the king and purge all who falsely claim the queen's seat the trap was sacred now

00:43:51him
00:43:52paler than ever from claiming me his hand trembling on the throne
00:43:59tears in my eyes i gripped his icy trembling hand he'd faded for me and i couldn't protect him then
00:44:07my fear
00:44:07hardened into resolve this coronation i will not lose he froze then held my hand back his eyes full of
00:44:18trust for the first time he saw my strength the maid crushed for 20 years would win this herself
00:44:28she sealed the coronation decree the death date set i gripped his fading hand my resolve blazing
00:44:35this inevitable trap i would overturn it myself and win back everything that was mine
00:44:46she draped serena in forged inheritance rights enthroned her and let the court bow me she branded a
00:44:53suspect made kneeling outside you can't even enter serena sneered
00:45:00he broke from the bowing line came outside and lifted me from my knees whispering hold on a little
00:45:07longer then his cold eyes swept to serena on the throne seat
00:45:15she announced the rule at the coronation whoever the relic recognizes is the true queen serena raised it
00:45:23gloating but as i stared at the relic my pupils shrank something was wrong
00:45:29the relic's mark was off a fake my hand drifted to my chest where my pendant hid serena holds a
00:45:37forgery
00:45:37the true relic might be on me the king and i exchanged a look
00:45:45she stressed the rule certain serena's relic secured the crown but serena held a fake the true one was on
00:45:53me the day they verify the relic that's when i overturn everything
00:46:01she announced it the relic chooses the heaven blessed queen serena practiced with it but i saw every flaw in
00:46:09it's mark a forgery the true relic was the one i'd hidden for 20 years
00:46:17serena's fake can never claim the throne the true relic was always on me i met the king's eyes
00:46:23the verification day is when i win but a chilling thought froze my spine

00:46:38it was on me that meant another buried secret i had to find it
00:46:47the secret of the unvaulted relic might lie in the long sealed cellar the king watched worried held
00:46:54back by the right i slipped out alone into the deepening dark
00:47:01i slipped toward the long sealed cellar clutching the true relic the secret she buried why the forgery
00:47:09why it never reached the vault was waiting down there in the dark
00:47:18i slipped into the sealed cellar the old delivery room among the dust the record revealed it the
00:47:25true relic never entered the vault it was thrown out with a baby with me
00:47:32i matched my pendant to the record identical the true relic never left me not since birth the king
00:47:40found me there kneeling beside me seeing the same earth-shattering proof
00:47:48we both understood when the true relic claims me at the coronation
00:47:53that's our revenge he pulled me close and kissed my brow sharing the secret that would topple everything
00:48:03as we shared the secret lights flared outside the cellar door i knew this maid would come here
00:48:09came my stepmother's cold voice my tracks had led her straight to me
00:48:18the searchlights closed in he shielded me weak yet unyielding i clutched the relic and the proof
00:48:26the truth that would topple her we were trapped deep in the cellar

00:48:55gift he declared to execute her first strip my throne the whole court froze in shock
00:49:04he shielded me ready to give up his throne my eyes burned he turned the cost entirely onto himself
00:49:12i'd never let him sacrifice for me but her eyes flashed cruel
00:49:20enraged she swept the hall and sneered the king won't even keep his throne for a maid
00:49:25then her cruelty deepened at the coronation it won't be only her we verify
00:49:34she declared she'd execute the king too her cruelty boundless behind him i clutched the true relic
00:49:42my terror burned into resolve i'd never let him die for me never
00:49:50she turned on the king the coronation will judge if this fool bewitched by a maid still deserves the
00:49:57throne he declared aloud i'd rather be a fool king i claim her
00:50:06he pulled me into his arms before the whole court and kissed me ignoring every eye as we touched his
00:50:13face faded another shade he was paying for this kiss with his life
00:50:20as we touched my pendant and wrist mark blazed gold at once before everyone he didn't care how much
00:50:28that kiss cost my stepmother locked onto the glow her face cold and certain

00:57:37as the crown touched serena the relic in her hands violently shook
00:57:44the crown touched her and the relic refused tearing from her grasp rising floating past everyone
00:57:51straight to me the tea-carrying maid at the center it glowed for me
00:57:59the relic glowed before me everyone who'd called me an unworthy maid watched it recognize the tea girl
00:58:06witchcraft she shrieked snatching the death warrant but i slowly raised my hand

00:58:21pendant hidden against me for 20 years identical to the floating relic
00:58:28my pendant and the floating relic resonated blazing with the same sacred light serena's
00:58:34fake died to scrap the maid crushed for 20 years was about to prove her royal blood
00:58:45the relic fell to me resonating with my pendant in the same sacred light serena's fake died to scrap

00:59:01the true relic never entered the vault i declared because it was always on me i faced her word by
00:59:07word i'm not a fraud i'm the one you threw away 20 years ago

01:01:11blood with his
01:01:12own hands
