[00:00:00]I didn't mean my sister is greedy. She's just very organized. Nearby, the two elder goddesses stopped smiling. [music] Keeping tabs on everyone's value, the great temple's princess has quite the dark heart. No wonder she pushed her way into [music] the succession so fast. The whispers drifted over like poison.

[00:00:21]My blood turned [music] to ice.

[00:00:23]That notebook was an assignment from Grandpa Zeus.

[00:00:27]When I first came back, he told me to learn the strengths of the different [music] clans.

[00:00:32]Ares had even guided me on what to write.

[00:00:35]But now, he didn't say [music] a single word for me. He just let me stand in the center of the storm. Chloe tugged on Ares' sleeve.

[00:00:44]Did I say something wrong again?

[00:00:47]I just admire how capable she is.

[00:00:51]I'm so stupid.

[00:00:53]>> [snorts] >> It's fine.

[00:00:56]Your sister has a big-picture mind. She won't be mad at you.

[00:00:59]I couldn't take it anymore. I started walking toward them, my heart screaming.

[00:01:04]I wanted to confront them, to scream the truth, but before I could take three [music] steps, someone grabbed me. Thea, stop. Don't go over there. It was Hermes.

[00:01:15]He blocked my way, his eyes hard. The music had picked up again, and Ares and Chloe were back on the dance floor. They were totally lost in their own little world, swirling around like nothing else mattered.

[00:01:29]I looked at Hermes' hand and realized what he was thinking. He thinks I'm going to cause a scene. He thinks I'm actually going to try and win Ares back.

[00:01:37][music] It wasn't surprising, really.

[00:01:39]Out of my three childhood friends, he was the [laughter] only one who had truly been there with me. Before I was adopted, we spent years rotting together in a mortal orphanage.

[00:01:49]Back then, every time they handed out sacred [music] fruit, I would throw myself into the dirt to to the biggest, reddest one. I'd shove [music] it into his hands first.

[00:02:00]Why?

[00:02:01]Because he was slow. He was weak.

[00:02:03]>> [music] >> I was terrified that if I didn't feed him, he'd actually starve to death. When I finally made it out, [music] I didn't spend my money on myself. I saved every cent to send him to the most expensive academy in Olympus.

[00:02:18]I pushed him and supported him with [music] everything I had until he became the legendary artifact appraiser he is today. But I guess a girl from the mud is always [music] just trash to people like him. I'll never be the moonlight he dreams about.

[00:02:32]>> Be good, Thea. Hermes didn't even look at me. His eyes were fixed on Chloe, filled with intense concern, as if she were the only thing in the world that mattered.

[00:02:42]>> Ares made [music] his choice.

[00:02:44]If you go up there now, you're just going to look pathetic.

[00:02:46]>> My heart was already in pieces.

[00:02:48]>> Let go. I tried to twist away, [music] but my heel slipped. I lost my balance, slammed into a stone pillar, [music] and fell hard on my knees.

[00:02:57]The pain was so sharp, I couldn't even breathe. Hermes was startled. He jerked his head around to look at me, >> [music] >> his eyes wide with shock.

[00:03:07]For a split second, a flicker of worry crossed his face. His hand actually moved, a reflex [music] to reach out and help me, but then his face turned back to stone. Is this really necessary, Thea? You've had everything for [music] the past 3 years. Chloe has nothing.

[00:03:25]Do you really have to use [music] these cheap tricks just to steal her spotlight? Ares and Apollo rushed over.

[00:03:31]Ares looked at me on the floor. Surprise flashed in his eyes. What happened now?

[00:03:36]Then a flicker of guilt. Apollo, usually so calm, looked at my bruised knees and sneered. Is self-harm your new way [music] of getting attention, princess?

[00:03:47]Hermes' face twisted into pure disgust.

[00:03:50]But Chloe was right.

[00:03:53]You fell on purpose [music] just to make us feel guilty.

[00:03:57]Is this going in your notebook, too, Thea?

[00:03:59]Knee injured by me.

[00:04:01]Used for future leverage.

[00:04:03]Ares' face went just as cold. [music] Apollo rubbed his temples as if I were a headache. You already took everything from Chloe. Just let her have one happy night.

[00:04:14]Fine.

[00:04:15]If you want the spotlight that badly, I'll dance with you.

[00:04:18]Is that enough dignity for you? he said, looking at me like he was doing a chore.

[00:04:23]I didn't even look at his hand. I struggled to my feet.

[00:04:27]Apollo's temper finally snapped. He grabbed my wrist hard. If Ares and I hadn't felt sorry for you and protected you back then, God knows where you'd be.

[00:04:37]I tried to jerk my hand away, but he twisted it with everything he had.

[00:04:42]>> [gasps] >> A sharp crack echoed through the hall.

[00:04:45]Agony exploded in my wrist.

[00:04:48]I doubled over, clutching my arm as the world went blurry.

[00:04:52]Apollo froze, staring at his own hand in shock.

[00:04:57]Are you kidding me?

[00:04:58]You fought that hard to break away just to chase after a man? It's not even a big deal. Our Thea has seen it all. This tiny injury is nothing compared to what Chloe has suffered.

[00:05:10]I was seeing black spots, >> [gasps] >> the pain making me nauseous, but I looked up and actually laughed.

[00:05:17]You're right.

[00:05:19]It's not painful enough yet.

[00:05:24]I let go of my wrist.

[00:05:26]The joint was already swollen. They just I stood that center in the ballroom.

[00:05:31]Tonight, I have to be chosen as a dance partner by another god.

[00:05:35]If I couldn't find one by sunrise, I'll be stripped of my title and exiled to the underworld forever. [music] My palms were sweating so much that they left damp streaks on my silk gown.

[00:05:46]I looked at my three childhood friends.

[00:05:47][music] Just last night, every single one of them swore they'd be my partner.

[00:05:53]Now, [music] they won't even look at me.

[00:05:55]All three of them walked straight to Chloe, my step sister.

[00:05:59]Chloe is so [music] pitiful. It would be too cruel if no one picked her.

[00:06:03]What about me?

[00:06:05]Is it not cruel [music] to throw me back to the Underhill to rot?

[00:06:09]Then I saw Ares. My heart skipped and [music] smiled. I thought he was finally coming to announce our marriage, but he didn't take my [music] hand. I'm sorry, Thea.

[00:06:19]You're strong. You can handle this.

[00:06:21]But she's just a weak nymph. If I don't protect her tonight, she'll be destroyed. I tried to grab his sleeve, but he pulled [music] away.

[00:06:31]He walked straight [music] to Chloe without looking back. The crowd went wild. So Chloe was waiting for the god of war. They look like they were made for each other. I couldn't breathe.

[00:06:41]I was tortured for 23 years in the mortal [music] realm.

[00:06:45]This dance was my only way out.

[00:06:48]He knew everything, [music] and he still chose her.

[00:06:51]>> [laughter] >> The music started.

[00:06:53]Ares looked at Chloe, and his eyes were so soft. I finally got it.

[00:06:59]When he He was always like a cold iron wall.

[00:07:03]Just last [music] night, he gave me flowers for the first time.

[00:07:07]I have to act cold because of [music] politics and power balance.

[00:07:11]>> I was so stupid. I actually believed him.

[00:07:14]I even felt bad for him.

[00:07:16]What a joke.

[00:07:18]There was no politics, [music] no strategy.

[00:07:21]He didn't give a damn about my future.

[00:07:23]He just wanted to give Chloe this moment to shine. The music died down.

[00:07:28]Chloe blushed, leaning her head on Ares' shoulder. My three best [music] friends were now tripping over each other just to get her a glass of nectar. Ares walked over to me, his shadow looming tall and cold.

[00:07:40]>> Chloe's had [music] a rough life. You've got the bloodline, you've got everything. It's just a dance, Thea.

[00:07:46]You've always been the bigger [music] person. My throat felt like I'd swallowed broken glass. And what about me? If [music] this gets out, I'm a joke. Zeus's granddaughter, abandoned in the middle of the ballroom. He actually frowned, [music] like I was the one being difficult.

[00:08:01]You're overthinking.

[00:08:03]You're strong enough to stand on your own. She isn't. If I don't pick her tonight, she's dead. She won't survive exile. He had no idea my father was already [music] planning to sell me off to some low-level demigod.

[00:08:15]This dance was my only [music] shield, and he just smashed it to pieces. Chloe ran up to him, her eyes full of hope.

[00:08:23]Brother Ares, can you take me to [music] meet the elders?

[00:08:27]I'm not as perfect as [music] my sister.

[00:08:30]She's always so prepared. She even keeps a little notebook to record which young lords are gaining power and [music] which uncles have the most resource.

[00:08:36]Then, she quickly covered her mouth like she'd said too much.

[00:08:41]I I didn't mean my sister is greedy.

[00:08:44][music] She's just very organized. Nearby, the two elder goddesses stopped smiling. [music] Keeping tabs on everyone's value, the great temple's princess has quite the dark heart. No wonder she pushed her way into the succession so [music] fast. The whispers drifted over like poison.

[00:09:03]My blood [music] turned to ice.

[00:09:30]I just admire how capable she is.

[00:09:33]I'm so stupid.

[00:09:35]>> [laughter] >> It's fine.

[00:14:06]I let go of my wrist.

[00:14:33]I stood dead center in the ballroom.

[00:14:36]Tonight, [music] I have to be chosen as a dance partner by another god.

[00:14:40]If I couldn't find one [music] by sunrise, I'll be stripped of my title and exiled to the underworld forever.

[00:17:02]He actually [music] frowned, like I was the one being difficult.
