Short filmTranscript
00:00My wedding is hours away, and my fiancé just ran off to tend to his childhood sweetheart.
00:17Don't be petty. If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the mating ceremony.
00:21Then postpone the mating ceremony.
00:24I called my seven-year nemesis instead.
00:26I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony. Care to do me a favor?
00:32Sylvia's really running a fever, and her wolf is weak.
00:36Every time she's been sick since we were kids, I've been by her side. I can't rest easy otherwise.
00:44Ethan's voice came through the phone, but it couldn't hurt me anymore.
00:47On my birthday, Sylvia got jostled at the high-end ball and ended up with bruises on her arm.
00:53He left me that same night, to go tend to her dot on our anniversary.
00:57Sylvia got gossiped about at moonlight.
00:59Bring me, bring what people call call an omega, who latches onto others.
01:04She felt so wronged.
01:06Ethan left me to comfort her, the entire night.
01:10Even the night before our wedding, Sylvia said she had a fever.
01:14He dropped me immediately, and traveled across miles, just to sit by her bedside.
01:25Ethan, I'm asking one last time. Can you make it back for the noon ceremony or not?
01:32Lydia, I'm at Sylvia's work site right now. It's three hours to the nearest airport.
01:37I can't make it. Just postpone the ceremony for one day, alright?
01:44Postpone? My family is decorating the wedding house with me right now.
01:47All our pack members and guests are either at the Moon Bloom altar already or on their way.
01:53You're telling me to postpone? What am I supposed to tell them?
02:01Lydia?
02:02Tell them what? That my fiancé is a thousand miles away with another she-wolf?
02:07That you're a cheating fiancé? That she's a slut who stole you?
02:13Lydia, what's between me and Sylvia isn't what you think. Don't be so petty.
02:23Petty? You and Sylvia should just get married on the spot, signing your mate bond right now.
02:27Why waste all these years of mine?
02:29Four years. I've watched their acting for four years. I'm tired.
02:32I delivered my final ultimatum dot. If you can't make it back today, we're done.
02:36Lydia, I understand you're emotionally unstable out of your jealousy, but like I said, I just can't make it back.
02:42If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the wedding!
02:46With that, he hung up in a huffed dot, as if I was the one in the wrong all-along
02:50dot.
02:51I was wrong. I brought this on myself, Doc, but from now on, never again.
02:55People rushed in through the door. They saw the smashed picture frames and froze.
03:01Lydia, what happened? What did that bastard Ethan say?
03:05Don't hurt yourself. Let me smash.
03:09The wedding room was a disaster zone.
03:13Forget it. No wedding is better than this. I will tell your father to explain it to your grandfather.
03:22Who says I'm not getting married?
03:28I dialed my arch nemesis.
03:30Orion Silvermoon.
03:31The Silvermoon noble representative on the council.
03:34Future Duke of Silvermoon.
03:35Back in school, I came from Shadowmoon commoners.
03:38He was Silvermoon nobility.
03:40We fought for every ranking.
03:41On the council, I represented the Shadowmoon district.
03:45While he led the younger generation of the noble faction.
03:47We argued countless times.
03:49For years, he blocked what was mine, and I took what was his.
03:54Everyone thought we were fire and ice.
04:00I was about to hang up when it connected.
04:03His voice carried a hint of hesitation.
04:05Hello?
04:07Lydia?
04:08Whatever.
04:08Orion Silvermoon was the only one I could think of who might actually say yes.
04:14When he found out I was getting married, he joked.
04:17Wouldn't it be great if you married me instead?
04:20Then we wouldn't have to be arch enemies anymore, mating each other and becoming power couple.
04:25Today, I could lose love, but I could not lose my dignity, Dot.
04:29This wedding must happen.
04:33Yeah, it's me.
04:34I...
04:35I'm sort of groom for today's mating ceremony, Mr. Orion Silvermoon.
04:39Would you mind attending my wedding and signing a mating contract with me?
04:42Lydia, signing a mating contract?
04:45One second.
04:46Two seconds.
04:47Three.
04:48My heart pounded harder.
04:49Disappointments started to creep in.
04:53Lydia, what kind of joke is this?
04:55If...
04:55If you don't want to, then forget...
04:57I do.
04:59You...
04:59You said yes?
05:02Yeah, I said yes.
05:03But...
05:04Let me make this clear.
05:05I'm not being just a tool.
05:08What do you mean?
05:09Orion Silvermoon.
05:10Doesn't wed a fake mate.
05:12I want a real one.
05:13Someone who can lie beside me.
05:16Someone I can feel flesh and blood, warmth.
05:19You understand?
05:22Deal.
05:25Deal.
05:29So, what do I need to do now?
05:31Get to the Moonbloom altar before 11am for our ceremony.
05:35Also...
05:37We need a wedding house.
05:38Got it.
05:39Leave that to me.
05:40I promise you won't be disappointed.
05:42Sigh.
05:45Orion Silvermoon?
05:46Is that the same Orion Silvermoon you call your arch-nemese on the Council?
05:50Yes.
05:51But...
05:51That...
05:51That can't work.
05:52What if he takes advantage of you?
05:54What if he screws you over?
05:55Why not, Auntie?
05:56I think it's great!
05:58Orion Silvermoon.
05:59The Council represent us just like Lydia, and he is the only heir of the Duke of Silvermoon.
06:04Way better than that two-tipping jerk, Ethan Ashford, who thinks his diplomatic official title makes him special.
06:10Orion Silvermoon and I were just using each other, Dot.
06:14But it didn't matter.
06:15All I wanted was for this ceremony to go on.
06:18I wouldn't lose face because of Ethan Ashford.
06:21And I definitely wouldn't let my family lose face because of me.
06:27You'd better think carefully.
06:28If you don't postpone and end up without a mate at the altar, your family will be the one humiliated
06:33in public.
06:34Either way, the Ashford family won't be attending.
06:37The wedding will not be delayed.
06:39Stop throwing a tantrum.
06:40Don't be so unreasonable.
06:42The Ashford family has noble blissestry.
06:44We're a political dynasty now.
06:46Everyone married to our family is well-behaved and obedient.
06:49Lydia, you aren't checking to woman's family.
06:51You shall so he roaring.
06:53Guy being like a fierce nap.
06:54I hung up.
06:55Couldn't be bothered to listen to their nonsense anymore.
06:58Got married into the Ashford family and suffer dreaming on...
07:05The Ashford family prided themselves on their noble bloodline, except they'd lost their noble title generations ago.
07:13All that remained was their last name and their delusion of self-importance.
07:17Even the wedding house I was standing in right now, my parents had bought it because they thought Ashford's chosen
07:23house was too run down.
07:25So this one near my family home was meant to be a gift for the newlyweds after the ceremony.
07:32Once, I saw this place as the start of the happy life I'd been waiting for.
07:36Now, it was evidence of my poor judgement and misplaced trust in the cheater.
07:42After smashing the last photo, I went back home and told the makeup artist to start.
07:49Just look at this place.
07:54Just look at this place.
07:55Just look at this place.
07:55Look at her.
07:57There was no groom's procession coming from the Ashford family anymore.
08:01But tradition said, the bride still had to departure from her family house with her relatives and head to the
08:08moon bloom altar.
08:09I knew that, even though I'd asked Orion to save the ceremony at the altar, I'd have to play the
08:15part alone until I got there.
08:17No matter how hard it was, I was going to play this role wonderful today dot.
08:21But what I never expected happened.
08:23As we were getting ready to leave, the sound of lutes and ballads floated up from downstairs.
08:41Lydia, groom is here!
08:43I quickly finished dressing and went downstairs.
08:55What the hell exclamation Orion Silvermoon and I were 4 years of competing in school, 3 years of fighting on
09:02the council.
09:03I'd known him for 7 years.
09:05I'd always known that behind his gentlemanly nobility facade, you should never be fooled by his handsome looks into messing
09:11with him dot.
09:12But right now, in this moment, I had no way back.
09:16Orion Silvermoon, what are you doing with this huge spectacle?
09:18I'm marrying you.
09:23I'm marrying you.
09:26I'm marrying you.
09:26Mark me.
09:28I'm marrying you.
09:48A few times on the council, but Orion's mother.
09:51I was meeting for the first time.
09:54Orion told me his future mate was exceptionally pretty.
09:57Seeing now, truly stunning.
10:00Here you come, Lydia.
10:02No wonder our son chased his mate for so long.
10:05Don't you agree, Nolan?
10:06Orion chased for so long?
10:08What?
10:08Your Grace.
10:09Excuse us.
10:13Off you go, young lovers.
10:16You...
10:16Didn't I tell you to just go straight to the moon bloom altar?
10:19That's what I'm doing.
10:19Picking up my bride and going.
10:21What?
10:22Mad?
10:23Hey, hey, Lydia Vouse.
10:24I told you.
10:25I'm fine with getting married, but I refuse to be a prop.
10:28You want to save face?
10:29Don't I?
10:29If I go straight to the altar and make my bride walk out of her own family home alone,
10:32what do you think people will say about me?
10:37I...
10:37Okay, I get it.
10:39How did you manage to arrange all this in just two hours?
10:42Compared to you, this is nothing.
10:45What?
10:46Nothing.
10:46My bride, shouldn't we get going?
10:49Any later, and we'll be cutting it close.
10:56Orion, pick her up! Hurry!
10:58The wolf pack honored strength.
11:00A bride leaving her family home had to be carried to the wedding car by her groom.
11:05But before today, I never would have imagined the one giving me this wedding lift.
11:09Orion's silver move?
11:13In my memory, this guy had a venomous tongue.
11:16If words alone could kill, I'd have died a thousand times by his mouth.
11:22Back in school, summer camp was when girls' feelings grew.
11:25The heat, the outdoor bonding were perfect conditions for sweet romance.
11:30Back then, I sort of liked the tall, handsome school quarterback.
11:34Once, I was just about to successfully play the damsel in distress and get him to carry my water bottle...
11:41Can you help me get a cup of water?
11:42...when that jerk Orion Silvermoon said...
11:43Lydia Vant, did you break your hand?
11:45She's tired from the hike.
11:47That bottle is heavy.
11:47Let me carry it for her.
11:54Think you can carry it now?
11:55The scene was so awkward.
11:57The quarterback was pretty embarrassed too.
11:59He never talked to me again.
12:01And my sweet school romance died.
12:03Right there in its cradle.
12:05After that, he got even worse.
12:06He kept popping up out of nowhere to mess with me.
12:09Every chance I had to get close to a handsome guy, he ruined it.
12:12After graduation, I found a relationship, joined the council, and had both career and love.
12:18I thought I'd finally say goodbye to troublesome Orion, for good.
12:23But we ran right into each other again on the council.
12:25He was the next leader of the noble faction.
12:28I was the rising star from the commoner side.
12:30We were always on opposite sides of the chamber, fighting teeth and nail.
12:35And even now, in his arms, I felt cherished, seen, loved.
12:40Focus on me.
12:42No thinking about others, my bride.
12:47Can't wait to leave your mark on me, can you, my mate?
12:49You are Orion's still a pest.
12:54Noon.
12:55The moon bloom altar.
12:56The ceremony began.
12:57Wasn't the groom supposed to be Ethan Ashford?
12:59This one is way all or gruv the taller and way more handsome than Ethan Ashford.
13:03Lydia switched grooms at the last second?
13:05Wait, he's wearing silver moon noble crest?
13:07Juicy!
13:09I looked at the guests, about to explain.
13:12But Orion Silvermoon beat me to it.
13:20Dear families and friends, I am Orion Silvermoon and I am Lydia Vounce's mate.
13:26Today, thank you all for coming to our wedding, to witness how our love has finally found its way here
13:31after countless trials.
13:31Orion's mouth.
13:32He really dared to say anything.
13:34After the wrong one is sent away, you will realize how precious the right one is.
13:37Beneath the moon bloom tree, with the moon goddess as our witness, Lydia and I finally become blessed mates.
13:43Oh, moon goddess.
13:45All these years, I thought Orion Silvermoon's tongue was just sharp.
13:49Turns out, it could also spin tails out of thin air.
13:52Good thing the Ashford's said they wouldn't come, and they really kept their word.
13:56Otherwise, this speech would have given them a stroke.
13:59I watched Orion weave those love stories I'd never even heard of.
14:04And suddenly felt when my biggest enemy's venom stopped spraying at me, and started spraying with me.
14:10This feels pretty good.
14:13Next, the ring exchange.
14:16The one I prepared was for Ethan's size exclamation.
14:19No, no, no, no.
14:24Whether they fit or not, Orion Silvermoon, you was going to have to put them on.
14:30This box wasn't the box for me, and Ethan's rings.
14:34Please.
14:37Is that the Silvermoon Eye? The heirloam of the Silvermoon family?
14:39It hasn't left the Silvermoon family in centuries. What a royal romance.
14:44A handsome, rich duke's heir. Ten times better than Ethan Ashfold.
14:47I wouldn't want Ethan either. He really is just a wrong one to skip.
14:51What's the real story behind the groom change? I feel like there's more to this.
14:54Eh, who cares? Just enjoy the show.
14:57Why does it fit perfectly?
14:59And now, Orion Silvermoon, under the watch of the moon goddess, beneath the moon bloom tree, in the presence and
15:07with the blessings of family and friends.
15:09I was about to turn my face away, when he leaned down.
15:16He leaned down, and kissed me. My emotions were already all over the place.
15:20But after the ceremony, still not over. Some guests wanted to see our wedding house.
15:25What, were we going to show them the wreckage I'd made in the house meant for me, and my ex
15:29Jim Fionc?
15:29No no no. Lydia Vance does not embarrass herself like that. This guy had lost his mind.
15:34Everyone, you're all welcome. Follow the wedding procession.
15:38Orion Silvermoon, the substitute groom, had already done more than perfectly.
15:42How could he possibly have had time to arrange the wedding house too?
15:45On the way there, I was worried sick. I wanted to blame him for agreeing to their request.
15:50But then I thought about it. To be fair, as a substitute groom today, he'd already done more than enough.
15:55More than good enough.
15:56But when we arrived, I realized I'd been wrong.
15:59The staff setting this up just left.
16:01From the entrance, to the villa, to the wedding room, flawlessly arranged.
16:04And the craziest part, there were even wedding portraits, judging by the bride in the photos.
16:08They were clearly the ones I'd taken with Ethan before, but the groom standing next to me in the pictures.
16:14That was Orion.
16:17After a full day of ceremonies, I was completely exhausted.
16:21After showering, I threw on my nightgown, climbed onto that huge wedding bed without any pretense, and just collapsed.
16:27I couldn't even be bothered to move my toes.
16:34The wedding house arrangements here, how did you pull that off in such a short time?
16:38Money.
16:39Alright, alright, you filthy rich guys.
16:43And the wedding portraits, how did you get those?
16:47What if I said Ethan sent them to me? Would you believe me?
16:52What?
16:54He sent them to you? Why would he do that?
16:57Guess.
17:00Fine, keep it yourself.
17:02He walked toward me. I quickly looked away.
17:05My throat felt dry.
17:07But I still said,
17:09I want to sleep alone for now.
17:14You mean separate rooms?
17:16Maybe it was because we'd been arched in enemies for so long.
17:19But I knew that to win against him, you didn't fight fire with fire.
17:23You picked your moments to soften.
17:24Three days.
17:25Three days.
17:27Could we-
17:27No.
17:30Don't burn the bridge after you've crossed it.
17:33Have some conscience.
17:38I stared at his back and suddenly felt like laughing.
17:41He didn't seem so hard to handle after all.
17:43But before I could finish feeling happy, I saw him go into the bathroom, come out quickly, and stride over
17:49to the big couch across the room.
17:51He lay down. I froze.
17:53Still, you passed.
17:58What are you doing?
18:00What are you doing?
18:01Didn't I say I wanted to sleep alone?
18:08Aren't you sleeping alone right now?
18:10No.
18:11I was so frustrated, I started laughing.
18:13I sat up angrily.
18:15I meant, I sleep alone in this room, and you go sleep in the guest room.
18:20No chance.
18:22You, Lydia Vance, care about face. Don't I?
18:26I'm already having a hard time explaining this whole last minute groom situation to my family.
18:31My parents, my whole family.
18:33They chose to trust me and went along with everything.
18:37And you want me to sleep in the guest room?
18:39What if they find out? What do I say then?
18:42What he said kind of made sense.
18:44But it's only three days.
18:52Orion saw my hesitation and guessed immediately.
18:57Lydia, I'm about to board. Two hours from now, come pick me up at the airport.
19:03Ethan Ashfield, have you lost your memory?
19:06Lydia, it's all my fault.
19:08I shouldn't have left you.
19:12I'm sorry. I even brought you a gift.
19:15Ethan Ashfield!
19:17I've already got married today.
19:23Come on, babe. Stop being mad.
19:26Neither I nor anyone from my family was there.
19:29What wedding could you possibly have had?
19:31Yes. Neither you nor your family showed up.
19:35My family and I planned and executed the entire wedding.
19:37When you couldn't come, not once did you think about how to explain the postponement to the guests.
19:42Not once did you offer to handle it for me.
19:43One phone call and you told me to postpone the wedding.
19:46But Ethan Ashfield, in this world, you are not the only man.
19:50What do you mean?
19:51Lydia, what the hell do you mean?
19:53Lydia Vance, answer me!
19:55Just then, Orion reached his hand out to me.
19:58I hesitated for a moment, and then gave him the phone.
20:01Maybe Orion and I had no future.
20:03But one thing was certain, I was never going back to Ethan Ashford.
20:08Answer what?
20:10Whoever you find to pick you up at this late hour is your business.
20:13But you do not get to order my mate around.
20:16You, Orion? You're Ion Silvermoon!
20:19Hey, address my name once is enough. I'm not your boss.
20:23Who's your mate? You bastard! Why do you have Lydia's phone?
20:27It's obviously Lydia my mate.
20:30Ethan, don't play dumb. You know exactly what you've been up to.
20:34Stop bothering my mate, or things won't end well for you.
20:38Lydia Vance, Orion Silvermoon, you two are cheating behind-
20:42Hey! Hey!
20:45Fuck.
20:47Orion hung up.
20:49But quickly, my phone rang again.
20:52Of course, Ethan Ashford again.
20:57This time, locked and black.
21:05That night, I felt completely drained body and soul.
21:09But my mind was still wide awake.
21:11I thought I'd be up all night.
21:13But at some point, I drifted off.
21:19According to tradition, the day after becoming mates, I had to go back to visit my parents.
21:26Sigh.
21:26I didn't have any clean clothes to change into.
21:30Just when I was just going to wash up and head out, I noticed a set of clothes neatly folded
21:35on the couch.
21:37Everything was my size.
21:38Orion.
21:39He actually had such a considerate side.
21:42I showered. Changed.
21:44Did my makeup.
21:45And left the room.
21:55Orion was downstairs, wearing an apron, arranging plates on the table.
22:01He walked over and took my hand.
22:04Got all dressed up to go see your family.
22:07Come eat first.
22:08Then we'll go.
22:10How...
22:11How did you know that today?
22:13I just know.
22:15Lydia, everything about you.
22:17I know it all.
22:29In a daze, I let him lead me to the table and sit me down.
22:33This guy I'd always thought of as arrogant, untouchable.
22:36And my biggest rival.
22:38He actually had such a domestic side.
22:41Come eat first.
22:51I took a bite of breakfast.
22:53It was actually delicious.
22:57You made this?
22:58Yeah.
23:01If you like it, I'll make it more often.
23:03I can cook a lot of other dishes too.
23:05Lydia, you can trust.
23:06Completely.
23:07In the days to come, I will take very good care of my mate.
23:10Suddenly, I didn't dare look into those deep eyes.
23:13I lowered my head and ate.
23:15After breakfast, since I didn't cook, I automatically started clearing the dishes.
23:20These hands of yours, they shouldn't be doing this.
23:22That's my job, Mrs. Silvermoon.
23:24Don't overstep.
23:30When I'd cook and clean up, Ethan would hug me from behind and say,
23:36I'm so lucky to have someone as capable as you.
23:38But Orion said,
23:40These hands of yours shouldn't be doing this.
23:43What are you thinking about?
23:46Nothing.
23:47My heart suddenly started racing.
23:49My face felt hot.
23:50I quickly tried to step back.
23:52But he reached out,
23:53wrapped an arm around my waist,
23:55and lowered his head,
23:56kissing my forehead.
23:58Just as I was internally struggling,
24:00my mom's phone call saved me from awkwardness.
24:03The Ashfords showed up at our door to cause trouble.
24:07Don't worry.
24:08Lydia and I will be right there.
24:15Your daughter has no shame.
24:18She's been messing around with another man behind my son's back this whole time!
24:29The shameless one is Ethan Ashford.
24:35You two bastard and sli-
24:37Silence!
24:40This is Vance Family House.
24:43Your Vance Family was in the wrong first.
24:47Can I even say a few words?
24:51On a wedding day.
24:53Unless dead, you need crawl to the altar if you have to.
24:55But your precious son, Ethan Ashfield, went to be with another she-wolf.
24:58And now you say the Vance Family is in the wrong?
25:00All of you, get out!
25:03I never expected that you wouldn't even offer a single apology.
25:07Instead, you-
25:07Get out!
25:10Fine, we'll go.
25:12But, that villa you promised them?
25:15You have to sell it and give us half.
25:16Why would we give you half?
25:18Because that was the agreement between our two families.
25:22Are you so money obsessed you've lost your mind?
25:25Why would we give half of the wedding house my family bought to your family?
25:29What is Ethan Ashford to us now?
25:31Our family said that after Lydia gets married, the villa can be registered in the young couple's name.
25:36But, our family's son-in-law is not Ethan Ashford.
25:41It's the Silvermoon family.
25:45Orion.
25:47Orion Silvermoon.
25:49Yes!
25:50My son-in-law's name is Orion Silvermoon, not Ethan Ashford!
25:59Fine, fine, fine.
26:02You cheated on my son, climbed up to a higher branch, and you're still so self-righteous about it?
26:09I'm going to expose this.
26:12I'll make sure everyone knows about your dirty secrets!
26:19With parents like you, no wonder you raised a cheating bastard like Ethan Ashfield.
26:25You'll regret this.
26:28We'll see.
26:30Wait!
26:33You'd better wait one minute.
26:36Now.
26:40For your precious son, take it home and have a good look.
26:42I've got plenty more of these.
26:44You're welcome to expose whatever you want.
26:46I'd love to see who ends up looking like the fool.
26:49What did you give them?
26:54I just thought Ashford couple were a bit snobbish.
26:57But Ethan Ashford is well-mannered, gentle, soft-spoken, and Lydda wouldn't be living with her in-laws anyway.
27:03So I didn't think much of it.
27:05But now that I think about it...
27:06Thank the Moon Goddess Leah didn't marry into that family.
27:19Oh, my Moon Goddess.
27:26Silver Moon hereby shall convey these gifts to you all.
27:29We're family now.
27:30No need for gifts.
27:31I just heard you enjoy chess.
27:32We happen to have some antique chess sets at home.
27:34Ones that came from the palace in the old days.
27:36Better to let someone who appreciates them enjoy them than to let them gather dust in a corner.
27:39Palace chess sets?
27:40Yes.
27:41Grandfather, please take a look.
27:42The wood grain is exquisite.
27:44The piece is smooth to touch.
27:45Fine, archaic quality.
27:47This is too valuable.
27:48You should take it back.
27:49The Vance, the most precious treasure in family, has already married into my family.
27:52Grandfather, if you still accept me as your grandson-in-law, please do accept this small gift.
27:57The other box contained fine black tea, which my dad loved.
28:00An antique necklace.
28:01Perfect for my mom's collection hobby.
28:04And gifts for uncle and cousins.
28:07Then I watched Orion play chess with Grandfather.
28:10Evenly matched and eventually, tactically losing subtly to Grandfather.
28:16Then he drank tea with my dad, speaking with impressive knowledge.
28:21What a coincidence.
28:21I like this actor too.
28:23You know, he and I as well as Lydia, we actually went to the same academy.
28:27Whoa, really?
28:29Lydia, Ori is good.
28:31You two live well together.
28:33Yes.
28:34Listen to your grandfather.
28:35Come back for dinner often.
28:37I'll cook for you myself.
28:38Mom.
28:39Listen to your mother.
28:48Tired?
28:49I'm okay.
28:53Orion!
28:54Hmm?
28:54Didn't he think this was too intimate?
28:56Even though we were already mated.
28:58Before this, we were arch enemies.
29:00Why so quiet?
29:02Why did you agree to marry me?
29:04Why would I say no?
29:05You're beautiful, smart, and capable.
29:07Plus, marrying you means I have one less formidable opponent.
29:10Don't even think about it.
29:11We're not going to let this affect our debates on the council.
29:14We will see.
29:15He chuckled.
29:15I didn't understand what he meant.
29:20Lydia!
29:21That historic building maintenance proposal, the one we've been fighting over for three
29:24months.
29:24The noble representatives have finally relented.
29:26They're willing to come to the table for negotiation.
29:29Really?
29:29Goddess knew what got into them.
29:31The elders and guard is still worried about noble assets and won't fully budge.
29:34But Mr. Silverville convinced them to at least sit down and talk.
29:37Who knew the new leader of the noble faction would suddenly be so cooperative?
29:41Is it because he just got married and good fortune is spreading to our stalled proposal?
29:45Whoever she is, let's all thank this mysterious Mrs. Silvermoon.
29:48Our dead-boxed work finally has hope.
29:50You didn't know that you had not only met Mrs. Silvermoon, but that Mrs. Silvermoon was
29:54standing right in front of you.
29:55Miss Vance?
29:57What's wrong?
29:57Aren't you happy?
29:59Nothing.
30:00Go for your work.
30:02Why the sudden concession on the deadlock proposal?
30:04It's not a concession.
30:05It's allowing both sides to negotiate better.
30:07Usually, you would have fought me to the ground on this.
30:09You were someone else's partner.
30:11Now you're my mate.
30:12Why would I fight against my own mate?
30:14And, I'm here to pick you up from work, my mate.
30:19Before bed, while I was in the bathroom putting on a face mask, an unknown number called me.
30:24I got calls and you didn't tell me?
30:28Out there.
30:34How does he know this place?
30:35With that many people at the wedding, there's always one or two who like to stir up trouble.
30:40Want to go out?
30:42You sure about this?
30:43Yeah.
30:45One last time.
30:51Lydia, you've finally come to talk to me.
31:00Lydia, I need to talk to you.
31:01He can't be here!
31:11An outsider like Sylvia can be here, but my mate can't.
31:17Mate?
31:18So you were hooking up behind my back all along.
31:22Lydia Vance, you're nothing but a bi-
31:25This is the last time, Ethan Ashford.
31:33Stop pretending.
31:35The moment you slept with Sylvia, you knew this was coming.
31:39You knew?
31:43You promised me you wouldn't let her find out!
31:45Sylvia stayed silent, but the corner of her mouth curled into a bitter, sad smile.
31:49Suddenly, I didn't hate her anymore, because she was not only hateful but also pitiful.
31:53Let's make it no more troubles.
31:55From now on, you go your way, I'll go mine.
32:08Orion Silvermoon, you finally stole your long time dream girl!
32:11Feeling proud of yourself?
32:14What?
32:20Who's your long time dream girl?
32:23It's you.
32:25My love.
32:26My mate.
32:28My Mrs. Silvermoon.
32:32Orion loves me.
32:34This was unbelievable.
32:35And how did Ethan know?
32:36Back in the room, I kept pressing him for answers.
32:42The year we graduated, Ethan picked my lost wallet.
32:45Inside was a photo of you.
32:48That's when he figured out I liked you.
32:50After graduation, you got together with him.
32:53When you took your wedding photos, he sent them to me.
32:56Now you can finally give up.
32:58After Orion finished, he lay down on the couch and stared at me, without saying another word.
33:02The room was quiet for a long time.
33:05But haven't we always been arch enemies?
33:09Who wanted to be your arch enemy?
33:12What?
33:14Nothing.
33:15I just love you.
33:16That's all there is to it.
33:21His ears were red.
33:23I'd never seen anything like it.
33:25I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
33:27Orion Silvermoon?
33:28Orion Silvermoon?
33:29Are you blushing?
33:31Tell me honestly.
33:33Ellen of the greatest joys in life.
33:34Seeing your arch enemy with red ears.
33:38You're so heavy!
33:39Get off!
33:40Laugh one more time, and I'm sleeping in the bed with you tonight.
33:44I swallowed hard.
33:46I didn't dare breathe.
33:47The next second, Orion Silvermoon let go of me.
33:50I immediately jumped off the couch and fled back to the bed, pulling the covers over my head.
33:54My heart was pounding.
33:56The biggest enemy of my life for the past seven years has actually liked me this whole time.
34:10It's still early.
34:11Sleep more.
34:12I'll leave breakfast for you.
34:13Just eat and head straight to your field work.
34:15Hmm.
34:15I drifted back to sleep, still half conscious.
34:18When I woke up again, a long time had passed.
34:22I went downstairs.
34:28But unfortunately, that afternoon, when I was doing an on-site survey with the Municipal Liaison Yara, at an old
34:34manor that was under renovation, a falling stone hit my head.
34:37There was a lot of blood.
34:42I was rushed to the hospital immediately.
34:44Severe concussion.
34:45The doctor admitted me for observation.
34:47When Orion arrived, his face was calm but worried.
34:49Only after he'd spoken with the doctor and understood the situation, did his expression finally relax.
34:55The few days I stayed for observation.
34:56Everything I ate, drank, and used.
34:58He arranged personally.
35:00A man I'd always thought of as arrogant and rough.
35:02I never expected he could be so patient and gentle when taking care of someone.
35:06Finally, I was cleared to leave.
35:08Orion had some business to handle.
35:09His mother, the Duchess of Silvermoon, came to visit.
35:12The Duchess was very gentle.
35:14After asking about my injuries, she set down her gift and sat beside me.
35:18There's something I've been wanting to tell you.
35:20I'm listening.
35:21Lydia, do you know why Orion chose that academy you both took back then?
35:24Do you remember the Moon Bloom Festival students' camp seven years ago?
35:29You gave a speech representing the Shadowmoon One Pax Youth Group.
35:36The heir to the Silvermoon family, according to tradition, should have gone to some prestigious academy for nobles only.
35:41But that year, he refused.
35:44He insisted on going to that newly opened public academy instead.
35:47Later, later I found out he'd seen a girl during an inter-school event.
35:51Just that one time and he'd already lost his heart.
35:53He told me that day, standing there, the moonlight on you shone straight into his heart.
36:09The girl Orion liked seven years ago? Me?
36:16The day before you got married, Orion cried to me that the girl he liked was about to marry someone
36:23else.
36:25That night I was worried so I went to check on him.
36:28I saw his computer screen, full of wedding photos.
36:31I thought the girl in those photos must be the one he loves.
36:34Such a shame she was about to belong to someone else.
36:38Then, unexpectedly, early the next morning, he suddenly called me and said he was getting married.
36:45And then, I was so confused. I thought he'd lost his mind.
36:56Who are you marrying?
36:59The one I love.
37:01The undisguised joy in his voice told me it was real.
37:04He told us not to ask too many questions.
37:07Teen, time was urgent. Just follow his arrangements and be ready.
37:12My son hadn't cried since he was five years old.
37:16But that night when I went to see him, he was drinking and crying at the same time.
37:22Lydia, I begs you, please cherish him well.
37:25Because he really, really loves you.
37:31Yes.
37:33Mother, what are you telling Lydia?
37:36Embarrassed, Orion? Love should be spoken out loud.
37:40Mom, don't stir up trouble. I can take care of my own person. You go weish. We're leaving.
37:45On the way, I kept turning to look at him.
37:48I was trying to imagine him crying.
37:57Lydia, if you've taken the wrong pills, just say so.
37:59We can go back to the hospital for a stomach pump. It's not too late.
38:06Is it really okay to be so sharp-tongued with an injured patient?
38:09And it's okay for you to look at your mate like he's an idiot?
38:15Come clean, and I'll make you something good to eat today.
38:19What if I don't?
38:24Then, I'll still have to make you something good.
38:29See? There you go.
38:33At night, when it was almost time to sleep, Orion Silvermoon paced and hesitated by the bed.
38:38According to his original promise, he'd given me three days of sleeping alone.
38:42Now, he thought it was time to come back to the nest.
38:44To be honest, if I didn't know that he liked me, I might still have tried to stall.
38:47But, how should I put it?
38:49A rich, handsome guy, powerful, and completely devoted to his mate, secretly in love with me for years.
38:54There probably aren't many men like that in the world, right?
38:57Maybe I should give it a try.
39:01You're not gonna roll over and hit my head in the middle of the night, are you?
39:04How could that happen?
39:06I sleep very peacefully. I never move around.
39:10Then, come and sleep.
39:12Okay.
39:14Don't worry. I won't touch your wound.
39:17That will do.
39:22Good night, my love.
39:24Well, that was unexpected.
39:28I stayed home recovering for a few more days.
39:33During this time, aside from occasionally going out, Orion Silvermoon spent most of his time at home with me.
39:40Three meals a day he made them all himself, never complaining.
39:44Also, I got along very well with Orion's mother.
39:47Actually, the person who got along best with the Duchess was my mom.
39:57The Duchess and I made plans for afternoon tea.
40:00Orion's mom and I are getting manis.
40:05Myr and I booked a trip together.
40:23One morning, while he was cooking, I quietly came up behind him and hugged him.
40:29Orion Silvermoon, are you trying to spoil me until I can't do the house works anymore?
40:33Like you were doing any of these daily chores before I showed up?
40:37That was true.
40:39But, after eating my cooking and experiencing my care, from now on, without me, no matter how rich you are,
40:46you'll never find anyone who takes care of you with such attention to detail.
40:50I'm gonna make you so spoiled that you'll see how could you live without me.
40:54Then what if you change your heart in the future and leave me?
40:59Won't I be in a terrible position?
41:02Change my heart?
41:03I survived seven years of unrequited love.
41:05Now that I've finally got you in my jaws, why would I let go?
41:07Don't even think about it, Mrs. Silvermoon.
41:09You're not getting away.
41:10Oh?
41:11Is that so?
41:12Then, maybe, I'll take one gamble.
41:15Gamble on a love story to happily ever after.
41:21So that day when you called me and asked me to be the groom, do you know what that felt
41:25like for me?
41:26What did it feel like?
41:28Like waiting seven years for the moon, and it finally fell into my arms.
41:33Even if it was fake, I wanted to hold onto it.
41:37Orion.
41:38Yeah?
41:39Now it's turned from fake to real, and I love you too, Orion.
41:44Thank you for loving me all this time, and...
41:48I love you too, Orion.
42:00Lydia, once you say that, you can't take it back.
42:05I don't plan to.
42:15Do you know...
42:16How long?
42:19I've waited to hear those words.
42:26Hey.
42:29Mrs. Silvermoon.
42:30Hmm?
42:31Now you're really my mate.
42:32If you argue with me on the council from now on, that means you're the one bullying me.
42:36So will you let me win or not?
42:38No.
42:39But when we get home, I can make it up to you.
42:41Who needs you to make it up to me?
42:43You.
42:44For the rest of my life, I'm gonna make it up to you.
42:49Senator Silvermoon, your proposal is just defending noble privileges.
42:53You haven't considered the interests of ordinary citizens at all.
42:56Senator Vance, I hear your criticism, but your alternative plan has a budget shortlay of 30%.
43:02Are you asking me to negotiate with Thin Air?
43:05Didn't they get married?
43:06Yeah, married just last month.
43:07Then why are they still fighting like this?
43:09Who knows?
43:10Maybe this is just how they express their love?
43:15Fight with me at home?
43:17Who wants to fight with you?
43:20Senator Vance?
43:21Mrs. Silverwood, you two-
43:23At work?
43:24Call me Senator Vance.
43:25Privately call her Mrs. Silverwood.
43:27You shut up!
43:28Yes, my mate.
43:29Yes, my mate.
43:31I'll be right back.
43:31Sorry, my mate.
43:32I'll do this.
43:32This is the deal.
