00:02I hid my prophetic red hair under black ink for years.
00:05On the day my husband Rowan was crowned king,
00:07I finally washed it clean to show him who I truly was.
00:11But when he saw me, he totally lost.
00:13Seraphina, how dare you!
00:15You are not worthy of Leora's hair color!
00:18Stop trying to be her!
00:20He ordered soldiers to shave my head and threw me into a cage of starving wolves.
00:24He watched me get torn apart alive.
00:26Before I died, I heard him speak.
00:28If you hadn't chosen me first, Leora would never have been forced to marry Cedric.
00:31She should have been my real queen!
00:34Every time I touched you these last five years, I felt sick.
00:38Go die for her.
00:39The great magic had predicted a goddess would be born into the house of Grey Pine.
00:43A girl with red hair who could see the future.
00:46Since birth, my mother hid my red hair with magic.
00:49But my sister Leora dyed her hair red every single day.
00:52She married the noble prince Cedric because of that hair.
00:56While I married Rowan, the Unwanted One, I opened my eyes and I was back at the Day of the
01:01Choosing.
01:02Before I could even react, Rowan burst in.
01:05Just because she has red hair doesn't mean Loria is the goddess!
01:10Father, you promised me one request.
01:12I want to marry the illegitimate daughter of Count Greypop.
01:16Leora!
01:17The whole hall went silent.
01:19I'm not trying to take Cedric Spot as heir.
01:21I just love Liora.
01:24Father, please let her marry me.
01:27Serafina, what do you think?
01:29I slightly lowered my head and gave a minimalistic curtsy.
01:31If Prince Rowan loves Liora, it is her good fortune.
01:34Rowan looked at me with a complicated expression.
01:37I sneered in my head.
01:39Cedric is born to be a king.
01:40Without me, Rowan has nothing.
01:42If he wants to bet his whole life on the Leora, I will let him.
01:45I know you've been reborn too, Serafina.
01:48You're wicked and jealous, but we were husband and wife once.
01:52I know you can't let me go.
01:54So after I marry Leora, I'll let you be my mistress.
01:58The best ending for us is to never see each other again.
02:02I'll leave this city for a year to stay out of your way.
02:09Rowan didn't look happy that I was being obedient.
02:12Instead, his face got even darker.
02:14I tried to push past him to leave, but Rowan grabbed me hard.
02:18I went too far when I killed you.
02:19But if you hadn't tried to copy Liora by dyeing your hair red, I wouldn't have gotten so angry.
02:23As long as you behave this time, I'll let you stay by my side.
02:26We had good times together.
02:29As long as you don't crave the Queen's throne, being my mistress is enough.
02:32I took a deep breath and cut him off.
02:34I don't want to be with you again, and I will never be your mistress!
02:38I didn't even look back as I walked away.
02:42Overnight, the House of Grey Pine became the biggest scandal in the city.
02:45The Queen's iron is furried.
02:48Everyone knew I had been by Prince Rowan's side for years.
02:52Yet the one getting married to him was Liora.
02:57The next morning, Rowan sent ten crates of jewels to our house, proving to the world just how much he
03:03loved Liora.
03:04My father looked at me with worry while I was busy planting flowers.
03:07Serafina, I don't know what happened between you and the Prince, but the rumors are getting ugly.
03:10Do you want to leave the city for a while to clear your head?
03:12Running away won't fix this.
03:14I'm worried about her.
03:15You were always biased!
03:16You were Owen once, me!
03:17You want to steal this from me and give it to Serafina too?
03:21The Liora stormed out in a rage.
03:23Father worried she'd do something reckless, sent a guard to follow her.
03:27Father, we have more important things to worry about.
03:29There will be an earthquake in a few days.
03:31You need to start preparing now.
03:32Prince Rowan will already be preparing.
03:34Father, you just focus on the relief and recovery work.
03:37Father was skeptical, but he chose to trust me anyway.
03:40Rowan still wants the throne,
03:41so there's no way he'd miss an opportunity like this to win the people's hearts.
03:44But I didn't expect him to hand all the credit to Liora.
03:47Suddenly, rumors were flying everywhere that Liora could see the future
03:50and was the true goddess.
03:54The great mage's old prophecy was dragged back into the spotlight.
03:58With her wedding day approaching,
03:59she was the most powerful woman in the city.
04:04Whenever people mention me now,
04:06they just shake their heads in disappointment.
04:11Serafina.
04:12Ugh, what a waste.
04:13She totally ruined her reputation.
04:16As the goddess of moon-dwelling city!
04:19No kidding.
04:20She's got the body and the brains.
04:22But with a sister who looks like a literal angel from heaven,
04:26Serafina looks like total trash next to her.
04:28One day, Liora cornices me in the garden.
04:31She grins her heel right into the roses I planted,
04:34crushing them to pieces.
04:35Sister, it's my turn to be queen.
04:37So what if you're the real goddess?
04:40As long as I have the memories, I'm the goddess now.
04:43Since you're so desperate to hide who you are,
04:46I'll just take your place.
04:50You think I'm queen because Rowan is the king.
04:54Has it ever crossed your mind that you've got it all backwards?
04:56I hate your mouth and I hate your face.
04:59You're disgusting!
05:00I catch her hand and shove her away,
05:02but Rowan walks in at that exact second.
05:04He rushes over and pulls Liora into his arms to protect her.
05:08Serafina!
05:09I'm warning you!
05:11If you touch Liora again,
05:13I'll make sure you aren't even good enough
05:17to be my mistress.
05:19I look up and let out a cold smirk,
05:22my eyes burning with a hidden, psychotic rage.
05:25Does he really think he's the one I'm after?
05:28Serafina, look at yourself.
05:30Where is the goddess everyone talked about?
05:32You're nothing but a jealous, pathetic bitch!
05:38Serafina,
05:39only the most beautiful roses deserve to be near you.
05:43You're so gorgeous and talented.
05:46I want to lock you away.
05:48Just last month,
05:49he was the one whispering sweet things in my ear.
05:51Maybe he saw my eyes getting red.
05:53Rowan worried he'd scare Liora.
05:55Immediately ordered the guards to take her away.
05:57In our last life,
05:58we broke up because you couldn't stand Liora.
06:00And here you are making the exact same mistake again.
06:03I stared at him, fighting back tears.
06:05Why should I have to stand her?
06:07You know exactly where she came from!
06:09Her very existence is an insult to me!
06:12My father only kept her around
06:14because he was too soft-hearted.
06:16Leora's father was a pathetic, drunk thug.
06:23He forced himself on my mother.
06:25And that's how Liora was born.
06:34My mother died of a broken heart
06:35shortly after giving birth to her.
06:38But my father couldn't bring himself to kick her out
06:41or kill her.
06:42She was still my mother's blood.
06:44To save my mother's reputation...
06:45You are Liora for your reason,
06:47which is for a while the genius.
06:47...and told everyone Liora was his love child.
06:50Siddily, Rowan snapped.
06:52He lunged forward
06:53and grabbed me by his throat.
06:55She was just a child!
06:56She's innocent!
06:58If you don't keep your mouth shut about this forever,
07:00I have a million ways to make sure
07:02you never speak again.
07:10I could barely breathe,
07:12and only then did Rowan finally let go.
07:14Gods!
07:15Serafina wants to go to the Holy Light Forest for a month
07:18to pray for Liora's well-being.
07:19Take her there, now!
07:22The people in the city aren't stupid.
07:25They started whispering,
07:26trying to guess what really happened.
07:30I was locked away in that forest,
07:32totally cut off from the world.
07:35I had no idea Liora was out there spreading lies,
07:39telling everyone I tried to hurt her out of jealousy,
07:41and that Rowan caught me red-handed.
07:43Meanwhile, the whole city was treating her like a saint,
07:46because she predicted an earthquake
07:48and saved their lives.
07:49The day I finally came home,
07:51a mob was waiting for me outside the gates.
07:54They pelted me with rotten vegetables and eggs.
07:57I was a total mess,
07:59humiliated in front of everyone.
08:01Suddenly, someone stepped out and blocked the crowd,
08:03shouting them down.
08:05Lady Serafina went to the forest of her own free will
08:07to pray for my future wife.
08:08These rumors are all lies!
08:10In our last life,
08:11when I fought by his side on the battlefield,
08:13he used to protect me just like this.
08:15But in the end,
08:17everything has changed.
08:18I was only gone for a few days,
08:20dealing with the disaster.
08:21How did things get like this?
08:25My father pulled me into a tight hug,
08:27his face pale with heartbreak.
08:29He turned around and glared at Rowan.
08:30The House of Greypine has no room
08:32for Prince Rowan or Liora.
08:33After you two get married next month,
08:35stay hell away from Serafina!
08:37Rowan opened his mouth,
08:38but it took him forever to find his voice.
08:40After the wedding,
08:41I'll be back
08:42to discuss making Serafina my mistress.
08:45My father was so livid,
08:46his hands were shaking.
08:47He grabbed a broom from the doormen
08:49and was ready to beat him senseless.
08:51But a man suddenly stepped in
08:53and stopped him.
08:54It was Cedric,
08:55the Crown Prince.
08:56Rowan, have you lost your mind?
08:58Where is your dignity?
09:00The Earl of Greatpeln
09:01has served this kingdom
09:02his whole life.
09:03Bad enough you broke your promise
09:05to marry someone else.
09:06Now you want his only daughter
09:07as a mistress?
09:10You're being shameless.
09:12Go home and cool off
09:13before you say something else
09:14you'll regret.
09:14Cedric is the heir to the throne,
09:16so Rowan had no choice.
09:18He ordered his men
09:19to drag Rowan away.
09:20Then he escorted us back home.
09:23I could feel the gross
09:25egg-sime on my head,
09:26so I immediately had my maid
09:27wash my hair.
09:28I'd been stuck in that forest
09:29so long without my magic potion.
09:31As soon as the water hit my hair,
09:33the fake black dye washed away,
09:34revealing my true fiery red hair.
09:36I made the maid put the potion
09:38on again right away,
09:40turning it back to black.
09:41When I walked back
09:42into the living room,
09:43I overheard Cedric speaking.
09:45If the Earl doesn't mind,
09:46I'm willing to give up
09:47everything I own
09:48to marry Serafina
09:49and make her my Crown Princess.
09:55My father looked hesitant,
09:57so I pushed the door open
09:58and walked right in.
10:00Thank you for the offer,
10:01Crown Prince Cedric.
10:03I accept.
10:04I know you have your reasons
10:05for choosing me, Cedric.
10:06All I ask is that you keep me
10:08and my father safe.
10:10In return,
10:11I'll help you take down Rowan
10:12no matter what he's planning.
10:15In my last life,
10:17I chose Rowan
10:18and went against fate.
10:19That's why everything went to hell.
10:20They think they can just
10:21pretend to be prophets
10:22because they have a few memories.
10:24Laughable.
10:25Sure enough,
10:26news broke soon after.
10:29Rowan's princess
10:30predicted a massive plague was coming.
10:32People lost their minds.
10:33The price of food and medicine
10:35went through the roof.
10:37The king tried to calm things down,
10:38but it didn't work.
10:39Only Cedric stood his ground,
10:41refusing to let Rowan
10:42waste resources on a disaster
10:43that wasn't happening.
10:44Ten days passed.
10:46Then, a month,
10:47the date of Leora's prophecy
10:49came and went.
10:50But there was no play.
10:51The people realized
10:52they've been scammed,
10:53furias and broke.
10:54A mob swarmed Rowan's palace gates.
10:56People are spending their life savings
10:58on meds and grain.
10:59But with all this rain lately,
11:00they don't have anywhere dry to keep it.
11:02It's all going to rot soon.
11:04Go tell Prince Cedric
11:05to double the guards
11:06at the royal granaries.
11:07We need to be ready.
11:09Our guards reported
11:10that the food people hoarded
11:11had turned into a moldy mess
11:13because of the rainy season.
11:14I took my time getting dressed,
11:16checking my reflection,
11:17before slowly heading over
11:18to watch the show.
11:22When I got there,
11:23a massive crowd was blocking
11:24the entrance to Rowan's palace,
11:26trapping him and Leora in the middle.
11:27We trusted you!
11:28We lost everything
11:30because of your lies!
11:31Exactly!
11:32Give us an explanation!
11:33Was that flood last time
11:34just a lucky guess?
11:35Prince Rowan has done
11:37some shady stuff
11:38for this mistress
11:39turned princess!
11:40Right then.
11:41Everyone, listen!
11:43Whatever happened before is over.
11:44Lady Serafina and I
11:45have decided to compensate
11:46you out our own pockets.
11:47We know your grain
11:48has rottened in the rain,
11:49so bring your spoiled food
11:50to the Grey Puggan estate.
11:51We will swap it for fresh grain,
11:52pound for pound,
11:53and every family
11:53will get 50 pence.
11:54Most of the crowd cheered
11:55and started to leave,
11:56but a few stayed behind,
11:58still screaming insults
11:59at Rowan's front door.
12:00This plague happened
12:01in the last life!
12:02It was real!
12:04How is this possible?
12:06Serafina, what did you do?
12:08Suddenly, she snapped
12:09and pointed her finger
12:10right at me.
12:10It was me.
12:12So what?
12:13What are you going to do about it?
12:15You're still obsessed
12:16with Rowan, aren't you?
12:17You still want to marry him?
12:18Well, forget it!
12:19In this life,
12:20he belongs to me!
12:21You'll never have him!
12:25Rowan's face shifted
12:26from anger
12:27to this arrogant realisation,
12:28and he let out a long sigh.
12:30I get it now.
12:31You love me so much
12:32you can't help yourself.
12:33I already said
12:34I'd let you be my mistress,
12:35so why do you have
12:36to be so cruel?
12:37Even after all this,
12:39you still came running back
12:39to fix my-
12:40Enough!
12:41I'm making her
12:42the crown princess,
12:43which means she'll be queen.
12:45You think offering
12:46to make her a mistress
12:47is a compliment?
12:47It's an insult!
12:50Did you two really think
12:51you could play
12:51with people's lives
12:53and not get burned?
12:54Cedric cut him off
12:55before he could finish.
12:56That stuff from our past life
12:57was ages ago.
12:59You've had your fun
13:00and you've made your point.
13:01Stop using Cedric
13:02to get back at me.
13:03If you want to be with me,
13:05you need to stop acting
13:06like a spoiled brat.
13:07Leora stepped between us,
13:09ready to scream,
13:09when suddenly a bucket of water
13:11splashed over both of us.
13:12It was a leftover
13:13from the angry crowd.
13:14We were both soaked
13:15to the bone,
13:16but then they just froze,
13:17staring at us
13:18in total shock.
13:19Wait.
13:20Leora's red hair
13:20is washing out,
13:21it's white!
13:22And Lady Serafina,
13:23her hair is turning red!
13:24Oh my god,
13:25Serafina's the real goddess!
13:29Keep this quiet, please.
13:31The Earl of Grapeen
13:32will make sure
13:32you're well compensated.
13:33No wonder the Earl
13:34was so ready
13:34when the earthquake hit!
13:35And Lady Sera and Prinstric
13:37kept telling us
13:37not to panic by
13:38her plague that came.
13:39It all makes sense now.
13:40Don't worry, my lady.
13:41My lips are sealed.
13:42You got a second chance
13:43at life
13:43and you still threw away
13:44the real goddess.
13:46You're an absolute idiot, Rowan.
13:48Suddenly,
13:49a royal messenger
13:50hurried over.
13:51Crown Prince Lady Serafina,
13:52the king has officially
13:53approved your marriage
13:54for next month.
13:55Rowan just stood there
13:56looking like he'd been
13:57hit by a truck.
13:58As expected,
13:59Rowan tried to sneak
14:00into my house
14:01that very night.
14:02He didn't even make it
14:03past the gate
14:03before my guards
14:04beat him up
14:05like a common thug.
14:06He eventually managed
14:07to find me,
14:08looking like a total mess.
14:09Did you tell those guards
14:09to do that to me?
14:10Yeah.
14:10I ordered them
14:11to specifically
14:12look out for you.
14:14Look, I know you're
14:15just doing this
14:15to make me jealous.
14:16It's not that I don't want you,
14:17it's just that marrying Lyra
14:18are pissed off
14:18the king and queen.
14:20I can't make you
14:20my mistress right this second.
14:22If you want to be with me,
14:23you're going to have to
14:23find a way to make it work.
14:25My promise still stands.
14:27Are you seriously asking me
14:29to dump the crown prince
14:30for you?
14:34You have a way
14:35to make everyone happy.
14:36I know what you're after
14:37and I can give it to you
14:38just like he can's.
14:39This is the same man
14:40who sentenced me to death
14:41in our last life
14:42just because of one stupid
14:43letter Lyra wrote.
14:45Prince Rowan,
14:45Lady Lyra says she's feeling
14:46sick and can't sleep.
14:47Seraphim, be smart.
14:48I'm the one who's going
14:49to be king.
14:50Don't gamble your father's
14:51life in the entire
14:51Grey family just because
14:52you're throwing a tantrum.
14:53But a little while later,
14:55Rowan came back.
14:56He grabbed me,
14:57pinned me in his arms
14:58and literally dragged
14:59me out the door.
14:59There are some things
15:00you need to promise,
15:01Lyra, face to face.
15:02We got to Rowan's room
15:03and Lyra was just
15:05crawling out of bed.
15:06Why would you bring her here,
15:07Rowan?
15:07Do you still have
15:08feelings for her?
15:09Look, we were husband
15:10and wife for years.
15:11Besides, they become king.
15:12The queen needs to have
15:12a powerful family background.
15:13You promised me everything.
15:14You're breaking your word.
15:15You're really going to
15:16let her look down
15:17on me again?
15:20I noticed her face was flushed
15:22and her voice sounded raspy.
15:24Think about it.
15:25What queen is a bastard?
15:26Besides, you'll be second
15:28only to Seraferina.
15:29That should be enough for you.
15:31That was the breaking point
15:32for Lyra.
15:33Serafina?
15:34I knew you weren't over her!
15:36And for your information,
15:38Serafina and I have
15:39the same father.
15:40Why am I any less royal
15:41than she is?
15:42Watching them scream
15:43at each other was actually
15:44kind of entertaining,
15:44so I just sat down
15:45to enjoy the show.
15:46You guys never told her
15:47the truth about her birth?
15:48My father thought she was
15:49just an innocent kid back then.
15:50Plus, my mother is gone,
15:52so there was no point
15:52in bringing it up.
15:53And let me be clear,
15:55again, it's better
15:56if you and I never see
15:57each other for the rest
15:58of our lives.
16:00You're the one
16:01who keeps chasing Rowan!
16:04I ignored her BS
16:06and stood up,
16:07slowly inching toward
16:07that cabinet.
16:08Just as I got close,
16:10Lyra suddenly jumped
16:11in front of it,
16:12locking my way.
16:27I expected the guards
16:28to come in and search it,
16:29but to my surprise,
16:30the chest burst open
16:31from the inside.
16:32Wow, Rowan,
16:33you're one lucky guy.
16:35Looks like Lyria found
16:37someone to help
16:37relieve your stress.
16:38A split second later,
16:40Rowan's voice
16:41practically shattered
16:42my eardrums.
16:43Lyra!
16:43It was Seraphata!
16:44She did this!
16:45She stuffed that man
16:46in my chest just to set me up!
16:47I love you so much, Rowan!
16:48I would never cheat on you!
16:49Fine.
16:50If it was me,
16:50then I confess.
16:51I framed the princess,
16:52so throw me in jail right now.
16:53But since this thug
16:54clearly assaulted the princess,
16:56you should probably
16:56take him outside
16:57and beat him to death first.
17:01Save me, princess!
17:03Please!
17:04You said I was
17:05so much better
17:06than the prince!
17:07You said you loved me!
17:09Rowan's face was pure stone
17:10as he dealt with him,
17:11but I suddenly remembered
17:12the rumors from my last life.
17:14I'm dying to know.
17:15Did you die in the last life
17:16because you couldn't
17:17keep your clothes on, too?
17:18So what if I did?
17:20I tried everything
17:21to seduce Cedric,
17:22but he wouldn't even look it,
17:23okay?
17:23I had to find my fun
17:24somewhere else!
17:24You total trash!
17:26How could I have been
17:26so blind to marry you?
17:28Oh, you were blind,
17:29all right?
17:29Blind and stupid!
17:31You only remembered
17:32that the girl who saved you
17:32had red hair,
17:33but even after you found out
17:34Seraphina was the one
17:35with the red hair,
17:36you still chose to believe
17:36you didn't know, did you?
17:37All I had to do
17:38was tell him I saved him
17:39and that you were just
17:39a jealous brat
17:40trying to take the credit
17:41and he fell for it
17:41every single word!
17:43It stung a little,
17:44but honestly,
17:45I wasn't surprised
17:46he was that dumb.
17:47Rowan's eyes went wide
17:48and he lunged at Leora,
17:49his hands locking
17:50around her throat.
17:51lied to me?
17:53You actually lied to me
17:55this whole time!
17:59You married me
18:01in front of everyone!
18:02You wouldn't dare kill me!
18:04How are you going to
18:04explain that to the people?
18:06Rowan,
18:07you kidnapped my future
18:08crown princess
18:09in the middle of the night.
18:10What the hell
18:11do you think you're doing?
18:12Exactly.
18:13A woman's reputation
18:14is everything.
18:16If you didn't trust me,
18:18I wouldn't even know
18:18how to explain this mess.
18:20Rowan won't
18:20reach out to grab me,
18:22Cedric pull into his arms.
18:23Prince Rowan is so noble,
18:25giving up everything
18:25for true love.
18:27I'm not like that.
18:28I'm shallow.
18:29I like my luxury
18:30and I'm definitely
18:31not built for a hard life.
18:33Why are you looking
18:34at me like that?
18:35Nothing.
18:37There's a war coming
18:38with the Dark Kingdom soon.
18:40What's your take on it?
18:41In the last life,
18:42that war only happened
18:43because I forced
18:44the Holy Light
18:44onto Rowan.
18:45I broke the natural laws
18:47and the world
18:47paid the price.
18:48It won't happen this time.
18:49Aren't you mad?
18:51I took the Holy Light
18:52that belonged to you
18:53and forced it onto Rowan.
18:57I don't know
18:58what kind of deal
18:59Rowan and Leora made,
19:00but they actually
19:00kept up appearances.
19:02Leora predicts
19:02a massive war
19:03with the Dark Kingdom
19:04in one month.
19:05I'm volunteering
19:06to lead the army.
19:07Cedric as usual
19:08disagreed with him.
19:09But the king
19:09saw how confident
19:10Rowan was
19:11and figured it was
19:11better to be safe
19:12than sorry.
19:13So he handed over
19:14the military power.
19:16But two months passed
19:17and everything
19:17was perfectly peaceful.
19:19He was so desperate
19:20to come back
19:20to Mungweling City
19:21as a hero
19:22that he actually
19:23launched a surprise attack
19:24on the Dark Kingdom
19:25himself.
19:26We had a peace treaty
19:26with them
19:27that was ten years old.
19:28What he did
19:29was a total slap
19:30in the face
19:31to the king.
19:31When the news
19:32hit the capital,
19:33the king immediately
19:33sent a letter
19:34to stop the army.
19:35But it was too late.
19:37In the end,
19:37Cedric had to go
19:38in person
19:38and apologised
19:39to calm the Dark King down.
19:41But the Dark Kingdom
19:41had one condition,
19:43a political marriage.
19:44They heard
19:44the Earl of Greypeen's
19:45bastard daughter
19:46was a saint
19:47who could see the future.
19:48So they demanded
19:49Lyra as their new bride.
19:50The king actually
19:51hesitated for a while
19:52since Leora
19:53was Rowan's wife
19:53after all.
19:54But Rowan
19:55didn't hesitate
19:55for a second.
19:56He ignored Leora
19:57screaming and crying
19:58and threw her
19:59straight onto
19:59the carriage himself.
20:04To show he was sorry,
20:06the king showered
20:07my father
20:07with massive rewards.
20:09My father was too scared
20:10to take them,
20:10so he finally spilled
20:11the whole truth
20:12about Leora's birth.
20:13The king thought
20:14my dad had lost
20:14his mind from grief,
20:16but once he brought
20:16in the High Mage,
20:17he finally believed it.
20:19The Earl is telling
20:20the truth.
20:20The goddess isn't Leora,
20:22it's Lady Serafina.
20:23Because Leora's father
20:24was a complete
20:25scunabag,
20:26the power of prophecy
20:27would never pass down
20:27through blood like that.
20:29How would you even know
20:30these family secrets?
20:33The Earl's late wife
20:34was my fellow student.
20:37Father, I was an idiot.
20:38I let that bitch Leora
20:39trick me.
20:39I've realized now
20:40that Serafina
20:41is my one true love.
20:42Please, let me marry her!
20:43Serafina is already
20:44engaged to Cedric.
20:45She's the future
20:46crown princess.
20:47Their wedding
20:47is already being planned.
20:48You're wanting to marry her now,
20:50don't you think
20:50that's a little ridiculous?
20:51Rowan acted like
20:52he couldn't hear
20:53the warning in the king's voice
20:54and just kept begging.
20:55The king finally snapped.
20:57You found out
20:58Serafina is the real goddess,
21:00didn't you?
21:01Is this love
21:01or are you just
21:02after my throne?
21:08Rowan wouldn't give up.
21:09He turned right around
21:10and showed up
21:11at my front door,
21:12begging for forgiveness.
21:13Everyone knew
21:14about our history,
21:15so this was the perfect time
21:16to draw a line
21:17in the sand.
21:18I didn't even give
21:19Rowan a chance
21:20to see my face.
21:21I just had my maid
21:22kick him out.
21:23Plas,
21:24I knew the king
21:25had spies watching.
21:26He wanted to see
21:26whose side I was really on.
21:28Then,
21:29I made a huge scene
21:30of hiring contractors
21:31to build my garden walls
21:32even higher.
21:33Finally,
21:34I sent word to Cedric,
21:36asking for some guards.
21:37Along with the guards,
21:38he sent over a copy
21:39of a letter
21:40Leora had written to Rowan.
21:41The letter was pure desperation,
21:44begging Rowan to save her.
21:45The king of the Dark Kingdom
21:46was ancient
21:47and on his deathbed.
21:48But they have
21:49this sick tradition.
21:50When the king dies,
21:51his wives are passed down
21:52to the next king
21:53like property.
21:54Leora couldn't take it.
21:55At the very end
21:56of the letter,
21:57she made a promise.
21:58If he rescued her,
22:00she'd bring the Dark Kingdom's
22:01army to help Rowan
22:02take the throne.
22:03Rowan was completely
22:04out of options
22:05for becoming the next king.
22:06In his desperation,
22:08he actually agreed.
22:09But,
22:10there was one problem.
22:11The king had already
22:13stripped him
22:13of all his power
22:14and his soldiers.
22:16He had no choice
22:17but to crop back
22:17to the palace
22:18and beg the king
22:19one more time.
22:21Leora,
22:22still my princess.
22:24I can't just stand by
22:28and watch her
22:29be humiliated like this.
22:30Father, please,
22:32help me save her!
22:36The king pulled out
22:37the original letter
22:38and threw it
22:39right in his face.
22:41You can't stand it!
22:43I think you're taking me
22:45and the whole world
22:46for fools!
22:50Guards!
22:51Get Prince Rowan
22:52out of my sight!
22:53And don't you dare
22:53let him back in
22:54without my command!
23:00That night,
23:01Cedric hopped through
23:02my window
23:02for the first time.
23:05Since when is this
23:06your new hobby?
23:08What about the guards?
23:09I...
23:09They're my guards.
23:11They'll block anyone
23:12except me.
23:14I was a little confused.
23:15I didn't get why
23:16he was here.
23:17You've got the military
23:18power now.
23:19Do you even still need me
23:21for anything else?
23:22He stayed silent
23:23for a long time,
23:25looking at me
23:25with a complicated expression.
23:27Forget it.
23:28We'll take it slow.
23:30Suddenly,
23:30a series of visions
23:31flashed through my brain.
23:33I grabbed Cedric
23:34just as he was
23:35about to leave.
23:36Send people
23:36to follow Rowan!
23:37Now!
23:38He's going to start a war!
23:40Cedric froze for a second,
23:42then immediately
23:43called his men
23:44to give orders.
23:45Before he could
23:46even finish,
23:47a guard came
23:48sprinting in.
23:53Your Majesty,
23:54the Crown Prince
23:55left Moondwelling City
23:56in the middle of the night.
23:57He's gone to find
23:58General Silversword.
23:59General Silversword
24:00was a legendary commander
24:01with thousands
24:01of veteran soldiers,
24:03even though the army
24:04had been disbanded.
24:05But in my last life,
24:07Silversword belonged
24:07to Cedric.
24:08I'll leave men here
24:09to protect your house.
24:10Stay safe
24:11and don't go anywhere.
24:12This is your chance.
24:13Take him down for good.
24:15I know you can't.
24:18It's better
24:19to just get rid of him.
24:21Cedric gave me
24:22a deep look
24:23and disappeared
24:23into the night.
24:25On the third night,
24:27Rowan broke into
24:28the palace with his troops
24:29while another group
24:30surrounded my house.
24:31He didn't even seem
24:32to notice how weird
24:33it was that he faced
24:34zero resistance.
24:36Just as he raised
24:37his sword to threaten
24:38the king,
24:39Cedric appeared behind him
24:40and put a blade
24:41to his throat.
24:42You think you've won?
24:44My men are everywhere
24:45outside!
24:48I never did anything
24:50but support you.
24:51How could you actually
24:53try to kill
24:54your own father?
24:55as if they had
25:03what happened?
