00:34:13a sly smile spreads across her face
00:34:15as the workday ends

00:36:08violet
00:36:09she doesn't get far before she doubles over
00:36:11and starts ravaging violently
00:36:13clearly in agony
00:36:14sebastian can't bear it
00:36:16he rushes over and supports her
00:36:19i'll take you to the monastery
00:36:22he stops mid-sentence and looks back at me
00:36:26i shake my head and smile

00:36:41eyes closed
00:36:42tears streaming down her face
00:36:43sebastian sits beside her
00:36:45his expression troubled

00:44:45laura said she wasn't worried about olivia winning at all
00:44:48so that's why

00:45:14she glances back at me
00:45:15with a look of pure venom
00:45:17outside the castle gate
00:45:18a grand romantic setup of flowers
00:45:21has been arranged
00:45:21sebastian is dressed impeccably

00:45:53about to speak
00:45:55olivia
00:45:56olivia

00:45:59laura lunges out from a corner wild-eyed

00:46:02charging straight at me
00:46:04i can't go on living like this
00:46:07you're coming with me
00:46:09she swings the blade towards me
00:46:12laura lunges at me with the dagger
00:46:14bystanders scream
00:46:16sebastian throws himself in front of me
00:46:18the blade slashes his arm
00:46:21sebastian
00:46:22he wrestles the dagger from laura's hand
00:46:24guards rush out from the castle and subdue her
00:46:28take her to the court
00:46:29this is attempted murder
00:46:32laura thrashes wildly
00:46:33screaming like a madwoman
00:46:36olivia
00:46:36you'll rot in hell
00:46:38the guards drag her away
00:46:41sebastian clutches his bleeding arm
00:46:43i rush to check on him
00:46:45deeply shaken
00:46:46you're hurt
00:46:48let me take you to the monastery
00:46:50a healer bandages the wound on sebastian's arm

00:46:58i just want a chance to make it right
00:47:01there's no need

00:47:18i've fallen in love with you
00:47:20i'm stunned
00:47:21i just stare at him blankly
00:47:23then out of nowhere
00:47:24i let out a bitter hollow laugh
00:47:29sebastian
00:47:30if you had said this before
00:47:31i would have been overjoyed
00:47:33but our marriage is annulled
00:47:34what's the point of saying it now
00:47:36i'm sorry
00:47:37i don't let him finish
00:47:39i cut him off
00:47:41my voice rising
00:47:42three years of neglect
00:47:44and unfair treatment
00:47:45and you think a few words of love
00:47:48will make me come running back to you
00:47:50dream on
00:47:52i storm out of the room
00:47:54he tries to stop me
00:47:55but fails and gives up
00:47:57he sinks back onto the bed
00:47:59his face etched with regret and disappointment
00:48:02i step outside the ward
00:48:04fuming
00:48:06arrogant jerk
00:48:06i will never forgive him
00:48:09as i prepare to leave
00:48:10i hear violet's voice coming from the nearby stairwell
00:48:14i hide behind the corner and see violet
00:48:16in a hospital gown
00:48:18huddled with a bald patient
00:48:20i have another test coming up

00:48:27i'm weak
00:48:28and my blood is precious
00:48:30this time it'll cost you three thousand gold coins
00:48:34violet reluctantly hands over a pouch of coins
00:48:38the patient gives her a small vial of blood
00:48:41it all clicks into place
00:48:43so violet's blood wasting disease is completely fake
00:48:47violet sits in front of a bronze mirror
00:48:49putting on makeup
00:48:51her face looks pale and weak
00:48:53she puts on a bald cap
00:48:54then covers it with a normal wig
00:48:57this time i will win sebastian for sure
00:49:01once she's ready
00:49:02she leaves the room
00:49:04in the audience
00:49:06violet's supporters watch her with nervous anticipation
00:49:09i heard violet has a big announcement today
00:49:11on stage
00:49:13violet looks like she's about to cry
00:49:15but she forces herself to stay strong

00:49:21i have sad news
00:49:23i've been diagnosed with blood wasting disease
00:49:26i don't have much time left
00:49:28she holds up her medical report
00:49:29then removes her wig
00:49:31revealing the bald cod beneath
00:49:33she gives the crowd a tragic smile
00:49:36her supporters are horrified
00:49:38the room erupts in chaos
00:49:43this can't be happening
00:49:44i refuse to believe it
00:49:46thank you all for your support over the years
00:49:49but from now on
00:49:50i'm afraid i won't be able to design anything anymore
00:49:53some of her supporters start crying
00:49:55the atmosphere is heavy with grief
00:49:58next
00:49:59i have one final wish i want to fulfill
00:50:02violet
00:50:03whatever your wish is
00:50:05we'll help you make it happen
00:50:06the crowd of supporters grows emotional and restless
00:50:10on stage
00:50:11violet's eyes gleam with triumph
00:50:13the hall has been decorated like a proposal scene
00:50:17violet stands in the center
00:50:18wearing a wedding gown and holding a bouquet
00:50:21a large crowd of supporters surrounds her
00:50:24full of anticipation
00:50:25sebastian walks into the hall
00:50:27he freezes at the sight
00:50:28violet steps toward him shyly
00:50:31sebastian
00:50:32will you
00:50:35marry me
00:50:36the supporters cheer and urge him on
00:50:38say yes
00:50:40say yes
00:50:41sebastian's face darkens
00:50:44violet
00:50:44you brought me here for this
00:50:46her eyes redden immediately
00:50:49sebastian
00:50:50i only have a few months left
00:50:53won't you grant me my last wish
00:50:56the supporters grow indignant
00:50:57lord sebastian how can you be so cold
00:50:59violet's only wish is to marry you
00:51:01she doesn't have much time left
00:51:03what harm would it do to marry her

00:51:07i heard her mother died for you
00:51:09the supporters grow more aggressive
00:51:11closing in on him
00:51:14trapped under the onslaught
00:51:15sebastian stands alone
00:51:17looking lost and overwhelmed
00:51:20violet steps in front of him
00:51:21and holds up the ring box
00:51:24sebastian
00:51:24please say yes
00:51:26hold on
00:51:27i pull the trembling bald patient
00:51:29through the crowd
00:51:30and stride into the hall
00:51:32sebastian looks at me in surprise
00:51:34violet spots the patient
00:51:35and her face drains of color
00:51:38there's no reason for sebastian to marry violet
00:51:40because she doesn't have a terminal illness at all
00:51:43the crowd erupts in shock
00:51:46sebastian looks stunned
00:51:48olivia how can you say that
00:51:50i've been tested multiple times
00:51:52and the results were the same every time
00:51:54i pull the patient forward

00:51:57i have blood wasting disease
00:51:59i'm in the late stages
00:52:01she paid me for blood samples
00:52:03multiple times
00:52:05violet shrieks in panic
00:52:07that's a lie
00:52:08you're slandering me
00:52:10sebastian don't believe them
00:52:12she must have bribed this man
00:52:13sebastian is in shock
00:52:15the crowd erupts in shock
00:52:17olivia i don't have much time left
00:52:20why are you doing this to me
00:52:24proving the truth is easy
00:52:27let's draw your blood right now
00:52:29in front of everyone
00:52:30and run another test
00:52:32do you dare
00:52:34violet sobbing stops abruptly
00:52:35her eyes dart around
00:52:38uneasy and terrified
00:52:39i... why should i...
00:52:41sebastian's face hardens
00:52:43do the test again
00:52:45the supporters
00:52:46sebastian and i wait for the test results
00:52:49violet stands in the center
00:52:51tense and anxious
00:52:52head lowered
00:52:53sweat beating on her forehead
00:52:55the healer comes out
00:52:57lady violet's latest test results
00:52:59show no blood weighting disease
00:53:01her health is essentially normal
00:53:03sebastian and the supporters
00:53:04are all stunned
00:53:06impossible
00:53:07olivia
00:53:08you must have bribed this healer
00:53:10that's right
00:53:11violet really is sick
00:53:13she lost her hair from the treatment
00:53:14i sneer
00:53:15step forward
00:53:16and yank off the first wig
00:53:18the bald cap is exposed
00:53:20she's caught off guard
00:53:21horrified
00:53:22no
00:53:23i pull again
00:53:24and the bald cap comes off
00:53:26violet's own hair is perfectly intact
00:53:28i hold up the bald cap for the supporters to see
00:53:31this is her hair loss
00:53:36the supporters stand frozen
00:53:38stunned
00:53:38she lied about having a terminal illness
00:53:41just to use your support to pressure sebastian into marrying her
00:53:45that's not true
00:53:47i didn't
00:53:48the supporters look utterly disappointed
00:53:50violet
00:53:51you lied to us
00:53:54most of the supporters turn and leave
00:53:56only a handful remain by violet's side
00:53:59violet is completely broken
00:54:00she looks at sebastian desperately
00:54:03sebastian
00:54:04you believe me don't you
00:54:06violet
00:54:07when all you have are lies
00:54:08no one will believe you anymore
00:54:10i cast a contemptuous glance at violet and walk away
00:54:14sebastian ignores her and follows me
00:54:18he catches up to me
00:54:20olivia
00:54:21thank you for helping me today
00:54:23i know you still care about me
00:54:26why else would you step in to help

00:54:34i walk away quickly
00:54:36he watches me go
00:54:38i will win you back
00:54:40i will
00:54:41violet stands there
00:54:43completely broken
00:54:44sobbing
00:54:45a few supporters still linger around her
00:54:47trying to comfort her
00:54:49violet

00:54:54yes
00:54:55violet
00:54:56we're still looking forward to more of your amazing work
00:54:59gradually violet's tears subside as her supporters comfort her
00:55:03sebastian is drawn to talented women
00:55:05maybe i've been going about this all wrong
00:55:08she lifts her head
00:55:10and gives her supporters a tearful smile
00:55:14you're right
00:55:15i should focus more on my craft
00:55:17her supporters are delighted to see her pull herself together

00:55:54i shake my head vigorously

00:56:03the royal national architectural design competition is starting soon
00:56:07it's worth entering
00:56:09i pick up parchment and a quill
00:56:11and begin preparing my registration
00:56:17the judges haven't started yet
00:56:20contestants and spectators are filing in and taking their seats
00:56:24violet watches me enter
00:56:25looking nervous
00:56:27olivia scored the highest in every round so far
00:56:30i'm afraid my work still won't beat hers in the finals
00:56:35she stands up and leaves her seat
00:56:38violet hides around the corner
00:56:40watching as the female judge lillian steps out of the judge's lounge
00:56:44lillian is the head judge for the finals
00:56:47if she gives my work a high score
00:56:49my chances of winning will be much better
00:56:51violet steps forward
00:56:53holding an ornate gift bag
00:56:55smiling obitiously
00:56:57lady lillian
00:56:58please wait
00:56:59i am violet
00:57:01a contestant in this competition
00:57:03my entry is titled
00:57:05my dream
00:57:05my motivation
00:57:06violet holds out the gift bag
00:57:09lady lillian
00:57:10this is a small gift for you
00:57:12lillian does not take it
00:57:14i understand what you're implying
00:57:16but let your work speak for itself
00:57:19don't try these tricks
00:57:20lillian turns and walks away
00:57:22violet dejectedly pulls back the gift bag and starts to leave
00:57:26but then she hears
00:57:28lillian's and my voice is from around the corner
00:57:31she peeks around the corner and sees lillian and me chatting amiably
00:57:35i hand lillian a bag
00:57:37and she accepts it
00:57:39so
00:57:40she rejects my gift but accepts a bribe from olivia
00:57:45this must be how olivia made it to the finals
00:57:47through dirty tricks
00:57:48violet returns to the audience area and runs into sebastian
00:57:52who is also about to enter
00:57:55sebastian
00:57:55you came to watch the competition
00:57:58sebastian is cold and dismissive
00:58:00i'm here to see olivia
00:58:02violet smile freezes
00:58:04just then
00:58:05i return to the audience area
00:58:07see them and stop
00:58:09sebastian sees me and immediately walks over warmly
00:58:12olivia
00:58:13i watched your performances in the earlier rounds
00:58:16they were outstanding
00:58:18i'm sure you'll do just as well in the finals
00:58:20i'm not eager to engage with him
00:58:22my attitude is cool
00:58:23thanks
00:58:24violet stands nearby her face dark with jealousy
00:58:28olivia
00:58:29soon everyone will see you ruined and humiliated
00:58:33on stage
00:58:34the host announces
00:58:36and now
00:58:37the moment we've all been waiting for
00:58:39the winners of this competition
00:58:41will be announced
00:58:42bronze award goes to
00:58:44violet
00:58:47violet is deeply disappointed
00:58:49it must be because i didn't get the gift to her
00:58:53that's why i only got bronze
00:58:56violet is seething with resentment
00:58:58finally
00:58:59the gold award goes to
00:59:01olivia
00:59:02i stand smiling and wave to the audience and scribes
00:59:06i walk onto the stage to accept the award
00:59:09please welcome lord sebastian
00:59:11the sponsor of this competition
00:59:13to present the award to lady olivia
00:59:16sebastian steps onto the stage
00:59:19lady olivia
00:59:20congratulations
00:59:22i am about to take the trophy when violet stands up and shouts
00:59:25i have an accusation
00:59:27olivia bribed the judges with gifts
00:59:30her gold award was obtained dishonestly
00:59:33the entire room erupts in shock
00:59:36i saw olivia give a gift to judge lillian with my own eyes
00:59:41this is the truth behind olivia's gold award
00:59:44and her high scores in the earlier rounds
00:59:46i suspect she got those through dishonest means too
00:59:50violet's supporters immediately start shouting angrily
00:59:54rigged
00:59:55no wonder olivia stole the gold while violet only got bronze
00:59:58this competition is completely unfair
01:00:01violet turns to address the crowd
01:00:03such bribery cannot be tolerated
01:00:06i believe olivia's gold award should be revoked
01:00:15sebastian steps forward
01:00:16i believe olivia is not that kind of person
01:00:19this matter should be thoroughly investigated
01:00:21sebastian what is there to investigate
01:00:24olivia is nowhere near as talented as she pretends to be
01:00:28i did not bribe any judge
01:00:30you're still lying
01:00:32olivia did not bribe me
01:00:35lillian steps forward
01:00:37of course you won't admit it
01:00:39you took the gift
01:00:40lillian lifts the bag i gave her earlier
01:00:43and pulls out a box of small pastries
01:00:45this is what olivia gave me
01:00:47homemade pastries
01:00:49do you consider this a bribe?
01:00:52violet is stunned
01:00:53so is everyone else
01:00:55the host steps forward to smooth things over
01:00:58of course not
01:00:59if that counted as a bribe
01:01:01the dungeons would be overflowing
01:01:02why?
01:01:04why did you give the judge pastries?
01:01:06because she was my mentor
01:01:09she loved the pastries i baked back then
01:01:11i tried so hard to get lillian to take me on as a student
01:01:14and she refused
01:01:16and now i find out she took olivia
01:01:19violet recovers and turns aggressive again
01:01:22since you have that connection
01:01:24she must have favored you in scoring
01:01:26your gold award is still tainted
01:01:29lillian cuts her off impatiently
01:01:32enough
01:01:32i did not participate in judging olivia's work at all
01:01:36lady lillian
01:01:37to avoid any conflict of interest
01:01:39did indeed recuse herself from judging lady olivia's submission
01:01:43violet
01:01:44anything else to say?
01:01:47violet is completely at a loss for words
01:01:50since it was just a misunderstanding
01:01:52please return to your seat
01:01:56lady violet
01:01:57we will continue with the award ceremony
01:01:59wait
01:01:59violet stops in her tracks
01:02:02i did nothing dishonest
01:02:04but you did
01:02:05violet flinches
01:02:07her face draining of color
01:02:09i hand a stack of letters
01:02:11contracts and records to the staff
01:02:16please distribute these so everyone can see
01:02:19the evidence is passed around
01:02:26this is the evidence
01:02:28violet
01:02:29the works for which you won awards
01:02:31none of them were designed by you
01:02:33the room erupts in shock once and more
01:02:36i did not
01:02:37you're slandering me
01:02:39if you think i'm lying
01:02:41report me to the court
01:02:43let the authorities investigate the truth
01:02:46violet dare not report anything
01:02:48she just stands there
01:02:50panicked
01:02:50muttering weakly
01:02:52olivia
01:02:52you're just making things up
01:02:54the royal stadium project
01:02:55four years ago
01:02:56you paid a ghost designer
01:02:59ten thousand gold coins
01:03:00the international residential design competition five years ago
01:03:05you blackmailed a designer and stole his work
01:03:08violet's supporters read through the documents
01:03:10stunned
01:03:12this evidence
01:03:13it looks real
01:03:15violet
01:03:16you built your reputation on nothing but hype
01:03:19the beautiful eris architect
01:03:23but you've never truly had a design of your own
01:03:25violet can't take it anymore
01:03:27she lunges at me hysterically trying to claw at me
01:03:31shut up
01:03:35sebastian immediately steps in front of me
01:03:37sebastian blocks violet and pushes her away
01:03:40she falls to the floor sobbing uncontrollably
01:03:43i didn't
01:03:45i never did
01:03:46the supporters stare in disbelief
01:03:49the genius designer i've supported all these years
01:03:52is just a fraud
01:03:55the supporters shake their heads in deep disappointment and begin to walk away
01:03:59at the judge's table
01:04:01the judges whisper among themselves and shake their heads
01:04:06a judge says something to the host
01:04:08the host clears his throat and steps forward
01:04:11according to the competition rules
01:04:13designers with major misconduct are disqualified
01:04:16therefore the judges have decided to revoke lady violet's bronze award
01:04:21violet completely breaks down
01:04:23with a scream
01:04:24she flees from the stage
01:04:26sebastian shakes his head in disappointment
01:04:28she deserves it
01:04:31let her do some soul searching on her own
01:04:33he hands me the gold trophy
01:04:35olivia
01:04:36congratulations on winning the gold
01:04:38the host starts clapping
01:04:40and the whole room joins in
01:04:42i smile
01:04:43wave
01:04:43and acknowledge the crowd
01:04:45i head towards the stables
01:04:46sebastian catches up
01:04:48with mark following behind
01:04:50olivia
01:04:51you've won the gold medal
01:04:52i'm hosting a celebration for you tonight
01:04:55will you come

01:04:57thank you
01:04:58lord sebastian and i are no longer connected
01:05:01there's no need for you to go to such trouble
01:05:03i turn and walk away
01:05:06he watches me go dejected
01:05:09he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a jewelry box
01:05:12i was planning to ask her to remarry me at the celebration
01:05:39sebastian
01:05:40my lord she won't come if you invite her outright
01:05:46he's busy planning to propose to his lady again
01:05:50mark finishes and leaves
01:05:53violet stands there frozen
01:05:55tears streaming down her face
01:05:58sebastian
01:05:59he's going to propose to olivia again
01:06:02suddenly she lets out a hysterical scream
01:06:06her eyes bloodshot
01:06:08no
01:06:09i will never let you remarry
01:06:12never
01:06:12frederick and i eat together
01:06:15olivia
01:06:17you've accomplished so much with the wades
01:06:20i think it's time to entrust the family to you
01:06:23i'm sorry to have kept you waiting uncle frederick
01:06:27i will make the wades even stronger
01:06:30you can count on me
01:06:32good
01:06:32then at the family banquet
01:06:34i will announce that you are inheriting the title of duke of wade
01:06:39margaret sits at a table
01:06:41scrowling
01:06:42drinking her wine
01:06:43violet clings to her arm
01:06:46pleading and flattering
01:06:47surrounded by gift bags
01:06:48my lady
01:06:49please don't be angry with me anymore
01:06:52look
01:06:53i bought all these gifts for you as an apology
01:06:56i kept olivia's gifts
01:06:58because i thought sebastian shouldn't give her such expensive things
01:07:01they should go to you
01:07:03margaret softens at that
01:07:05exactly
01:07:06what status does olivia have to deserve such costly gifts
01:07:10at least sebastian has annulled their marriage
01:07:15but i heard sebastian is going to propose to her again
01:07:19what
01:07:19how can he remarry olivia
01:07:21he should be marrying you
01:07:25olivia keeps luring sebastian and targeting me
01:07:29that's why he likes me less and less
01:07:31my father was planning to partner with the millers on the coconut bay venture
01:07:35but now that sebastian wants to remarry olivia
01:07:38i'm afraid coconut bay is a 15 billion gold coin deal
01:07:42how can sebastian be so foolish
01:07:45margaret stands abruptly
01:07:46no
01:07:48i'm going to talk to sebastian
01:07:50behind her violet smirks
01:07:53the banquet is about to begin
01:07:55guests are making their way in
01:07:57sebastian stands at the entrance looking nervous
01:08:02margaret is everything ready
01:08:04flowers fireworks the carriage procession everything is ready
01:08:08when the banquet ends your proposal ceremony will begin
01:08:11whether olivia says yes or no
01:08:14i want everyone to see how sincere i am
01:08:18just then
01:08:19i walk into the hall in my finest gown
01:08:22sebastian quickly approaches me
01:08:24on the other side
01:08:25margaret and violet arrive
01:08:28margaret sees sebastian walking towards me and rushes over
01:08:33sebastian you cannot remarry olivia
01:08:35sebastian frowns clearly annoyed
01:08:40mother what are you doing here
01:08:42if i didn't come
01:08:43were you planning to propose to olivia right here
01:08:47sebastian glances at me but doesn't deny it
01:08:49i'm a little surprised
01:08:51have you lost your mind
01:08:53she's just an orphan with no background or status
01:08:57how can she compare to violet
01:08:59i don't care about her background
01:09:01it's her i want
01:09:02as for violet
01:09:04her character is flawed
01:09:06i will never marry her
01:09:08but she's an owen daughter
01:09:09a union between the millers and the owens would bring so many advantages
01:09:13violet stands nearby
01:09:15her eyes glistening with tears
01:09:18my lady
01:09:19it seems sebastian has deeply misunderstood me
01:09:22but that's all right
01:09:24i'll still try to persuade my father to cooperate with the millers
01:09:27look how thoughtful violet is
01:09:29compared to her
01:09:31olivia is nothing
01:09:32a crowd has gathered
01:09:35whispering and watching
01:09:37i've been watching from the sidelines
01:09:39but now i step forward
01:09:41lady violet
01:09:44you always claim to be an owen daughter
01:09:47so why have you never appeared at any important owen family events
01:09:51a flash of panic crosses violet's face
01:09:54well
01:09:55my health isn't good
01:09:57so
01:09:57i rarely attend
01:09:58oh

01:10:06perfect
01:10:07duke owen is here today
01:10:09i'll invite him over
01:10:11so you two can have a reunion
01:10:13violet is horrified
01:10:14she turns to leave
01:10:17i i'm not feeling well
01:10:18i grab her arm
01:10:20meeting your own father lady violet
01:10:22why are you so scared
01:10:25margaret also blocks her way
01:10:27violet don't go just yet
01:10:29this is a perfect chance to introduce me to your father
01:10:31we might be in-law soon
01:10:34just then
01:10:35alex arrives
01:10:36escorted by the servant
01:10:38margaret hurries over to him warmly
01:10:42duke owen
01:10:43your daughter and sebastian have shared a deep bond for years
01:10:47our families are well matched
01:10:49what do you say to a union
01:10:51my daughter
01:10:52i don't have a daughter at all
01:10:55margaret is stunned
01:10:56she looks at violet
01:10:58completely confused
01:10:59what
01:11:00violet lowers her head
01:11:02not daring to meet anyone's eyes
01:11:05duke owen
01:11:06this lady violet claims to be your daughter
01:11:10alex looks at violet
01:11:11baffled
01:11:13how could she be my daughter
01:11:15she's merely a distant niece
01:11:17barely connected to my family
01:11:19violet
01:11:20stop falsely claiming connections
01:11:22it reflects poorly on the owen family
01:11:25violet's face pales
01:11:26she is deeply humiliated
01:11:30people around her snicker
01:11:31a distant niece
01:11:33and she claims to be an owen daughter
01:11:36under the mockery of the crowd
01:11:38violet looks like she might faint
01:11:40margaret is dumbfounded
01:11:42so you've been lying to me all along
01:11:45you're not an owen daughter at all
01:11:47i treated you so well
01:11:50wanted you to marry sebastian
01:11:51and you're nothing but a fraud
01:11:54violet doesn't dare lift her head
01:11:56lady margaret
01:11:58next time
01:12:00look more closely
01:12:01not everything that glitters is gold
01:12:05violet hears this
01:12:06and completely loses it
01:12:08she screams at me
01:12:09who are you to talk
01:12:10at least i'm somewhat connected to the owens
01:12:12what are you
01:12:13just an orphan
01:12:14you're even worse than me
01:12:16just then frederick speaks from the stage
