00:00:00Lady Evelyn Sterling from the Montagues, a woman of virtue, diligent and gentle, hereby
00:00:05bestow the title of First Rank Lady of Honor, by Imperial Decree.
00:00:10We humbly thank His Majesty for His grace.
00:00:21Murder!
00:00:22Murder!
00:00:23Duh!
00:00:24Someone's been killed!
00:00:25Someone's been killed!
00:00:27Murder!
00:00:28Murder!
00:00:29Sister.
00:00:44Why You are unworthy.
00:00:46We are both daughters of the Sterling Family.
00:00:48Why should you live better than me?
00:00:50If only Adria Montay caught my bridal ball, 3 years ago.
00:00:58This thing is nothing but an illusion. If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.
00:01:28Master, I have already spread the word.
00:01:33The noblemen from all around have heard that our daughters of the Sterling family are seeking husbands and are eager to compete for them.
00:01:40For a son-in-law of our family, at the very least, he must be a man of great status.
00:01:45You two better aim at the right man.
00:01:47Whichever of you marries well shall bring glory to our family.
00:01:50Have I been reborn to three years ago?
00:01:53The very day of the husband seeking bridal bond.
00:01:55My lady, it's time to cast your ball.
00:01:58Sister, please let me go first.
00:02:05In my past life, Josephine insists that I go first.
00:02:10Fainting modesty and humility.
00:02:12Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.
00:02:21Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me! Lady Josephine, come on!
00:02:25In this life, I have to marry Adrian!
00:02:38Tim, Adrian, second son of the Montagues.
00:02:41The Montague family are relatives of the royal family, which means we shall become royal kin as well!
00:02:47I actually altered my fate.
00:02:51Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank, and I shall become a noble lady of honor!
00:02:58Josephine, you have schemed relentlessly.
00:03:01But little do you know that you're gonna suffer a lot in the evil Montague family.
00:03:05Great, great, great! The whole family is counting on you!
00:03:10Oh, stop flattering me! I'm doing this just for our family.
00:03:14Once I become Lady Montague, I shall be mindful of my words and actions, bringing prosperity to our family.
00:03:21Sister, what do you say?
00:03:23You are truly fortunate. As your sister, I am happy for you.
00:03:29Evelyn, Lady Luck is with me this time. In this life, I will never let you overshadow me again.
00:03:41That is...
00:03:42Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:03:47Master, if the Empress now would you find, so you're dressed like this.
00:03:51Mother's been always pressing me. I can only leave the palace for some peace.
00:03:56This is a perfect chance to experience the life of ordinary folk.
00:04:00Hurry, you, Mr. Darling, so you're using the bridal ball for marriage.
00:04:03Let's have a look.
00:04:05In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal ball. I had to run away and then suffer a lot.
00:04:10This time, I shall let you taste the pain of being abandoned by your own kin.
00:04:16Master, our family has now secured ties with the Montagues.
00:04:19Mother, how could you say such a thing?
00:04:28Sister has always been lucky and she would never bring shame upon us.
00:04:32In my opinion, in the moment, she will surely get the finest husband.
00:04:37Powerful or not, rich or not, it's only written on water.
00:04:46In this life, I seek only a true companion to live a peaceful life till the end.
00:04:51It's him.
00:05:06It's him.
00:05:07The beggar that Josephine ran away from.
00:05:10Oh, oh no. It actually went to a beggar.
00:05:16Sister, what terrible luck you have.
00:05:19A beggar out of so many people down there.
00:05:21How do you expect father to hold his head high?
00:05:24Damn it!
00:05:25With so many people down there, how could you cast it to a beggar?
00:05:29Are you deliberately trying to shame me?
00:05:31What's done is done, sister.
00:05:33Sister, do not be too upset.
00:05:35Though he is of lowly birth, but look, at least he got a pretty face.
00:05:40It is only a pity for you, sister, raising comfort and luxury.
00:05:43But now bound to a beggar, you shall have to labor yourself to earn your bread.
00:05:49Now this will be quite the spectacle.
00:05:51The esteemed Lady Evelyn will marry a beggar?
00:05:53Everyone is watching.
00:05:54If she refuses, it's going to ruin their credit.
00:05:57Who would associate with them more?
00:05:58Hey, hey, hey, seize her!
00:06:04Don't let her escape!
00:06:05Master, how did this bridal bull end up in your hands?
00:06:08What should we do now?
00:06:09It's the Scottish!
00:06:11I'm dressed in such rags.
00:06:13She won't agree.
00:06:17Sister, why are you running?
00:06:20You cast the bridal bull yourself!
00:06:22You damn girl!
00:06:24Look at the filthy beggar you've got!
00:06:26If he becomes my son-in-law, it's going to be a huge disgrace to us!
00:06:33In my past life, I was mistreated by the Montagues and used for Sterling's ambitions.
00:06:39Thinking back now, perhaps marrying a beggar would be a better fate.
00:06:43The rule of the bridal bull is binding.
00:06:46Since he caught the bull, you should...
00:06:48I am willing to marry him!
00:06:50My name is Evelyn Sterling.
00:07:01What's yours?
00:07:03I am Luke...
00:07:04Lucas Prescott.
00:07:11With all present as my witnesses today,
00:07:14I, Evelyn Sterling,
00:07:15willing to take Lucas Prescott as my husband.
00:07:19Are you serious?
00:07:27Yeah.
00:07:29The ball is in your hands.
00:07:31You want to...
00:07:32reject me?
00:07:34I didn't.
00:07:36It's just that I'm poor as hell.
00:07:38Marrying me would mean a life of uncertainty.
00:07:41Are you sure?
00:07:43We're not disabled or something.
00:07:46We may be poor now,
00:07:47but we can always earn our money.
00:07:50We can work hard
00:07:51to make a living ourselves.
00:07:54I've never seen someone so easily content.
00:07:57He's just a filthy beggar!
00:07:59You're really gonna marry him?
00:08:01Evelyn,
00:08:02you're sure about this?
00:08:04Marry this beggar
00:08:05and your future is ruined!
00:08:08I do not believe that is true.
00:08:10Future won't be decided like that.
00:08:11Lucas,
00:08:12Lucas,
00:08:12he may be in rags now,
00:08:14but I can see his humility
00:08:16and good manner.
00:08:18He's gonna make a difference, maybe.
00:08:20You are...
00:08:21Rule is rule.
00:08:23You're not eating your words,
00:08:25are you, sir?
00:08:25Indeed.
00:08:26If he refuses,
00:08:27that's breaking the rules
00:08:29and gonna ruin their reputation.
00:08:31Seems well,
00:08:31she has to marry him.
00:08:32Indeed, marry him!
00:08:33Indeed, marry him!
00:08:34Indeed, marry him!
00:08:35Since you want to marry him,
00:08:37don't blame us in the future.
00:08:39You won't get a share
00:08:41of the coming glory of us.
00:08:43I understand.
00:08:44The matchmaking is concluded.
00:08:47Everyone disperse.
00:08:51Sister,
00:08:52no hard feelings.
00:08:55But marrying a beggar
00:08:57means you will spend your life beneath me.
00:09:02You should worry about yourself.
00:09:04Life with the Montague's
00:09:05is not as easy as you imagine.
00:09:08Hmph!
00:09:15You!
00:09:20In three days,
00:09:22remember to come to propose.
00:09:23It's her or Mother's pressing,
00:09:25so I might as well...
00:09:27All right!
00:09:28I'll be there.
00:09:31Today,
00:09:35the second daughter
00:09:35of the Sarlene family
00:09:36is to be wed.
00:09:38Her dowry includes
00:09:39a pair of gold phoenix hairpins
00:09:40and laid with precious gems,
00:09:42plenty of boats
00:09:43of fine brocade,
00:09:44three land deeds
00:09:45for silk shops
00:09:46in the Eastern District.
00:09:47Lady Josephine Sterling's
00:09:48salary is worth a fortune,
00:09:50yet Lady Evelyn Sterling
00:09:51has nothing at all.
00:09:52They're both daughters
00:09:53of the Sarlene family,
00:09:54but the difference
00:09:54between them is astonishing.
00:09:56Sister,
00:09:57after marrying a beggar,
00:09:58you will likely toil
00:09:59for the rest of your life.
00:10:00I wonder if you can
00:10:01even endure such life.
00:10:11It's the bridegroom.
00:10:12The bridegroom has arrived.
00:10:15Oh,
00:10:16as expected
00:10:17of the second son
00:10:18of the Montague family,
00:10:19the spectacle
00:10:20is grand indeed.
00:10:21Of course,
00:10:21the Montagues
00:10:22hold immense power.
00:10:23Marrying into their family,
00:10:24Lady Josephine Sterling
00:10:25will live a life
00:10:26of endless luxury.
00:10:27Unlike Evelyn,
00:10:28marrying a beggar,
00:10:29this will certainly
00:10:30be an interesting sight
00:10:30to behold.
00:10:32My respects to my honor,
00:10:33father and mother-in-law.
00:10:34Please rise,
00:10:35my son-in-law.
00:10:35My son-in-law.
00:10:36Such an elaborate
00:10:37wedding procession
00:10:39is a spectacle
00:10:39worthy of Highgate.
00:10:41For our dear Josephine
00:10:42to be regarded
00:10:43so highly by you
00:10:44is an honor
00:10:45to the Sterling family.
00:10:49Sister,
00:10:50the auspicious hour
00:10:52is nearly over.
00:10:53Why has your husband
00:10:53not come for you?
00:10:55Could it be that
00:10:55he's not coming at all?
00:11:04I,
00:11:04your humble son-in-law,
00:11:05greet my honored
00:11:06father-in-law.
00:11:07My lady.
00:11:17My lady.
00:11:18Are you here to beg
00:11:19for the alms
00:11:19or take a bride?
00:11:21Dressed in such rags,
00:11:22do you not feel ashamed?
00:11:23Compared to Lord Montague,
00:11:25you're as far apart
00:11:26as heaven and earth.
00:11:28Just what are you wearing?
00:11:29In front of so many
00:11:31esteemed officials,
00:11:32are you not bringing
00:11:33shame upon me?
00:11:34Today is your wedding day,
00:11:36and yet you came
00:11:37dressed like this?
00:11:38Do you not find
00:11:39this is a disgrace?
00:11:40Do you not finding
00:11:41this humiliating?
00:11:42Marriage is a lifelong
00:11:43commitment,
00:11:44building upon sincerity,
00:11:45not mere appearances.
00:11:46The man I,
00:11:47Evelyn Sterling,
00:11:48have chosen
00:11:48is not one whose worth
00:11:50can be swayed
00:11:50by idle words.
00:11:51Have you not
00:11:52embarrassed us enough?
00:11:54Sir,
00:11:54Master,
00:11:55do not be angered.
00:11:57From the moment
00:11:57Evelyn steps beyond
00:11:59this threshold,
00:12:00she'll no longer
00:12:01be a Sterling.
00:12:02The auspicious hour
00:12:03has arrived.
00:12:04Bring the bride
00:12:05to the carriage.
00:12:06This is dead.
00:12:17Congratulations,
00:12:18Master Sterling.
00:12:19Your son-in-law
00:12:20is truly an exceptional man.
00:12:24Many thanks,
00:12:25Deputy Minister.
00:12:26Please come inside.
00:12:27Off to you.
00:12:30Surely you didn't
00:12:31arrive on foot today.
00:12:32on such a big day,
00:12:35will you have
00:12:35the bride walk
00:12:36all the way
00:12:37to your home?
00:12:39Unheard of.
00:12:40Indeed.
00:12:41Not like my husband.
00:12:46My lady,
00:12:47please,
00:12:48allow me to take you home.
00:12:49bow to the heavens
00:13:09and the earth.
00:13:11Is this the place
00:13:12they've found us
00:13:13to live in?
00:13:13Mm-mm.
00:13:14Bow to the elders.
00:13:16A shabby place like this,
00:13:21is it even fit for a living?
00:13:23I just didn't want you
00:13:24to blow your cover.
00:13:25And bow to each other
00:13:26as husband and wife.
00:13:28The ceremony
00:13:35is complete!
00:13:38My lady,
00:13:39I have put you
00:13:40through hardship,
00:13:41having a life with me
00:13:42in such a shabby place.
00:13:43Not at all.
00:13:44I actually think
00:13:46it's rather spacious.
00:13:48At least,
00:13:49it shields us
00:13:49from the wind and rain.
00:13:52If we work hard
00:13:53from now on,
00:13:53keep this place tidy,
00:13:55it'll soon feel
00:13:56much more comfortable.
00:13:56At this moment,
00:13:58I have nothing
00:13:59of value to give you.
00:14:01The shade pendant
00:14:02was left to me
00:14:03by my father.
00:14:04I've carried it
00:14:05with me all these years.
00:14:07And now,
00:14:08I'm giving it
00:14:09to you.
00:14:14It's so precious.
00:14:16Are you certain of it?
00:14:20Alright.
00:14:21I will cherish it well.
00:14:26You're up.
00:14:49Breakfast is ready.
00:14:50For you.
00:14:51Hi.
00:14:55Where are you going?
00:14:57Today is the
00:14:58wife's homecoming day.
00:14:59I made telemeds
00:15:00from my parents,
00:15:01but they're not
00:15:01quite finished.
00:15:02I need to buy
00:15:02some more threats
00:15:03and complete them
00:15:04before I return home.
00:15:05Alright.
00:15:06I'll go with you.
00:15:07Alright.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:14Greetings,
00:15:15your ma-
00:15:15Greetings,
00:15:15your majesty.
00:15:20Greetings,
00:15:21your majesty.
00:15:21Greetings,
00:15:21your ma-
00:15:22Who are they?
00:15:27The palace is too complicated.
00:15:29Once everything's settled,
00:15:30I'll reveal my identity
00:15:31to Evelyn.
00:15:32They are...
00:15:33They're here for Victor.
00:15:37Yes,
00:15:42yes.
00:15:42I used to serve
00:15:43in the palace.
00:15:44These are all
00:15:44old acquaintances.
00:15:48Evelyn,
00:15:49I'll help Victor
00:15:50to entertain the guests.
00:15:51Will you be alright
00:15:52buying threat
00:15:52on your own?
00:15:55Yes.
00:15:55Hmm.
00:15:56Speak.
00:16:09What happened?
00:16:10The Empress Dowager
00:16:10distressed over
00:16:11your majesty's fence
00:16:12and suddenly collapsed.
00:16:13What?
00:16:14Victor,
00:16:14stay here
00:16:15and protect your Evelyn.
00:16:16Let's head back.
00:16:17Yes,
00:16:17your majesty.
00:16:18Get someone
00:16:19to deliver
00:16:20some valuable gifts
00:16:20to Sterling Estate.
00:16:22Say that they're
00:16:23Evelyn's homecoming gifts.
00:16:24Yes,
00:16:24your majesty.
00:16:25Let's go.
00:16:25Father.
00:16:27Mother.
00:16:28Your daughter
00:16:29has returned.
00:16:31Father.
00:16:33Why has sister
00:16:34returned alone?
00:16:39Today is your
00:16:40homecoming day.
00:16:42Sister,
00:16:42why have you
00:16:43returned alone?
00:16:44Are you ashamed
00:16:45of your beggar husband?
00:16:47So you didn't even
00:16:48bring him to meet
00:16:49the family.
00:16:49My husband
00:16:50wanted to come,
00:16:51but something
00:16:52urgent came up.
00:16:53Since being married
00:16:54to the beggar,
00:16:54Lady Evelyn Sterling
00:16:56must have suffered
00:16:57a great deal.
00:16:58You look much
00:16:58frailer than before.
00:17:01Had you not married
00:17:02that filthy beggar,
00:17:04perhaps I would have
00:17:04taken you as a concubine.
00:17:06At least you wouldn't
00:17:06have fallen to such
00:17:07a state.
00:17:08That will not be
00:17:09necessary.
00:17:10I am living well.
00:17:11As of for you,
00:17:12sister,
00:17:13it has been
00:17:13quite a few days
00:17:14since you had
00:17:15seen your husband
00:17:16before.
00:17:16You-
00:17:17Ugh.
00:17:18Screw you,
00:17:19Adrian.
00:17:19Went drinking
00:17:20with corsets
00:17:21on our wedding night
00:17:22and now everyone
00:17:22knows we are
00:17:23utterly humiliating
00:17:24me.
00:17:25Josephine.
00:17:30Father,
00:17:31mother.
00:17:32Greetings to you
00:17:33both.
00:17:34Greetings to you
00:17:35both.
00:17:36You've returned
00:17:36alone.
00:17:37How can you still
00:17:38have the face
00:17:38to come back?
00:17:39What does your
00:17:40husband do all
00:17:41day?
00:17:41Not even
00:17:42accompanying you
00:17:43for your
00:17:43homecoming?
00:17:44Mother,
00:17:45you're thinking
00:17:46too highly of her.
00:17:47that filthy
00:17:48beggar is
00:17:48probably begging
00:17:49in the streets
00:17:50right now.
00:17:51How could he
00:17:51possibly compare
00:17:52to my husband?
00:17:55Father-in-law,
00:17:56your humble
00:17:56son-in-law
00:17:56has brought
00:17:57a small gift.
00:17:58Oh,
00:17:59oh,
00:17:59oh,
00:18:00oh,
00:18:00hmm.
00:18:02Oh,
00:18:02oh,
00:18:03oh,
00:18:03oh,
00:18:03oh,
00:18:03oh,
00:18:03oh,
00:18:04oh,
00:18:04oh,
00:18:04oh,
00:18:04oh,
00:18:04oh,
00:18:04oh,
00:18:04oh,
00:18:04oh,
00:18:04oh,
00:18:04oh,
00:18:04oh,

00:18:08gentlemen,
00:18:09it must be
00:18:10the blessing
00:18:10she has earned
00:18:11over eight
00:18:11lifetimes.
00:18:12Unlike someone
00:18:14who chose a beggar
00:18:15as her husband,
00:18:16our sterling family
00:18:17has raised you
00:18:18for so many years
00:18:19and yet you come back
00:18:20empty-handed
00:18:21on your homecoming day.
00:18:23Indeed,
00:18:24sister,
00:18:25this is my
00:18:26homecoming gift.
00:18:27Have you fallen
00:18:28into such poverty
00:18:29that you cannot even
00:18:30afford a proper
00:18:31homecoming gift?
00:18:38Father,
00:18:39mother,
00:18:40these are the two
00:18:41protective talamans
00:18:42I made for you
00:18:42by hand,
00:18:43a blessing to you
00:18:44both,
00:18:44wishing you peace
00:18:45and prosperity.
00:18:46Oh,
00:18:47oh,
00:18:48oh,
00:18:48oh,
00:18:48get out!
00:18:51What a disgrace!
00:18:53Sister,
00:18:54is this truly
00:18:55what you've brought?
00:18:56A few scraps
00:18:57of cloth
00:18:57with embroidery.
00:18:59How dare you
00:18:59present these?
00:19:01Well,
00:19:01she did marry
00:19:01a beggar,
00:19:02so her gift
00:19:03befits her
00:19:04status perfectly.
00:19:06Ha,
00:19:06ha,
00:19:06ha,
00:19:06ha,
00:19:07ha,
00:19:07ha,
00:19:07ha,
00:19:07ha,
00:19:08ha,
00:19:08ha,
00:19:08she has married
00:19:09a beggar.
00:19:10What else
00:19:10could we expect
00:19:11from her?
00:19:12Ha,
00:19:12ha,
00:19:13ha,
00:19:13ha,
00:19:13ha,
00:19:14ha,
00:19:14ha,
00:19:14ha,
00:19:15ha,
00:19:15ha,
00:19:15ha,
00:19:16ha,
00:19:16ha,
00:19:16ha,
00:19:16ha,
00:19:17ha,
00:19:17ha,
00:19:17ha,
00:19:17ha,
00:19:18master,
00:19:18madame,
00:19:19someone from
00:19:19the palace
00:19:20has arrived
00:19:20with gifts.
00:19:21They say
00:19:21they are
00:19:21the homecoming
00:19:22gifts
00:19:22from Lady
00:19:22Evelyn.
00:19:27Master
00:19:27Shirley,
00:19:28who exactly
00:19:28has your
00:19:29eldest daughter
00:19:30married
00:19:30a mountain
00:19:30nobility?
00:19:31Even the palace
00:19:31saw fit
00:19:32to have me
00:19:32personally
00:19:33deliver these
00:19:33gifts to you.
00:19:34You must
00:19:34hold great
00:19:35influence
00:19:35indeed.
00:19:36Gifts from
00:19:36the palace?
00:19:37Then it must
00:19:37be from
00:19:38his majesty
00:19:38himself.
00:19:39It was
00:19:39personally
00:19:40arranged
00:19:40by the
00:19:40chief eunuch
00:19:41at his
00:19:41majesty's
00:19:42side.
00:19:42He said
00:19:43for the
00:19:44Starling
00:19:44family's
00:19:45eldest
00:19:47daughter.
00:19:49Oh,
00:19:49Mr. Ashford,
00:19:52you must
00:19:52be mistaken.
00:19:54All of
00:19:54Highgate
00:19:55knows
00:19:55that
00:19:56Evelyn
00:19:56married
00:19:57a beggar.
00:19:58How could
00:19:59she possibly
00:19:59have ties
00:20:00to anyone
00:20:01in the palace?
00:20:02Oh,
00:20:03this must
00:20:04surely be
00:20:05a courtesy
00:20:05to young
00:20:07Master
00:20:07Montague.
00:20:10Indeed.
00:20:11In this
00:20:11world,
00:20:12those seeking
00:20:13favor with
00:20:13the Montague
00:20:14family are
00:20:14countless.
00:20:15Even those
00:20:16in the palace
00:20:16are paying
00:20:17their respects.
00:20:18Father-in-law,
00:20:19please accept
00:20:19with joy.
00:20:22Josephine
00:20:22has married
00:20:23a remarkable
00:20:24husband.
00:20:25Just look
00:20:25at the
00:20:25grandeur
00:20:26of her
00:20:26homecoming.
00:20:27Such
00:20:27lavish
00:20:28gifts.
00:20:29Our
00:20:29Sterling
00:20:29family is
00:20:30truly honored
00:20:30beyond measure.
00:20:34The gifts
00:20:34have been
00:20:35delivered.
00:20:35I shall
00:20:35take my
00:20:36leave.
00:20:37Oh,
00:20:37take care.
00:20:38Take care.
00:20:41Sister,
00:20:42my husband
00:20:43has prepared
00:20:43two sets
00:20:44of homecoming
00:20:44gifts.
00:20:45Seeing all
00:20:46these,
00:20:46do you
00:20:47not feel
00:20:47ashamed?
00:20:48It's not
00:20:49about the
00:20:49quality of
00:20:50gifts,
00:20:50but the
00:20:50sincerity
00:20:50behind them.
00:20:51I see
00:20:52nothing
00:20:52inappropriate
00:20:52in this.
00:20:53I've poured
00:20:54my heart
00:20:55and effort
00:20:55into raising
00:20:55you,
00:20:56and yet,
00:20:56not only
00:20:57did you
00:20:57marry a
00:20:57beggar,
00:20:58but you
00:20:58even bring
00:20:59back these
00:20:59worthless
00:20:59rags to
00:21:00disgrace me.
00:21:01The
00:21:01Sterling
00:21:01family has
00:21:02no place
00:21:02for such
00:21:03a disgraceful
00:21:03daughter.
00:21:05Simply
00:21:05because I
00:21:05married
00:21:06Lucas,
00:21:07you feel
00:21:07justified
00:21:08to humiliate
00:21:09me like
00:21:09this.
00:21:09Josephine
00:21:10acts in
00:21:10the best
00:21:10interest
00:21:11of the
00:21:11Sterling
00:21:11family,
00:21:12unlike
00:21:12you,
00:21:13who
00:21:13married
00:21:13a beggar
00:21:14bringing
00:21:14disgrace
00:21:15upon us
00:21:15all.
00:21:17Disgrace?
00:21:19It's only
00:21:19because Josephine
00:21:20married into
00:21:21wealth that
00:21:22you so
00:21:23readily indulge
00:21:23her.
00:21:24Insulin
00:21:24child,
00:21:25such
00:21:25outrageous
00:21:26defiance,
00:21:26who has
00:21:27put these
00:21:27ideas in
00:21:28your head?
00:21:28Is it
00:21:29not the
00:21:29truth?
00:21:31In
00:21:31your eyes,
00:21:32a daughter
00:21:34is nothing
00:21:34more than
00:21:34a pawn to
00:21:35secure power
00:21:36and favor?
00:21:37Outrageous!
00:21:38How dare
00:21:39you speak to
00:21:40your father
00:21:41in such a
00:21:41manner?
00:21:45A dragon
00:21:46jade pendant?
00:21:46outrageous!
00:21:49I must
00:21:52inform
00:21:52his
00:21:53majesty.
00:21:55Give it
00:21:56back to me!
00:21:57This jade
00:21:58pendant looks
00:21:59of fine
00:22:00quality.
00:22:01From where
00:22:01did you
00:22:02steal it,
00:22:02sister?
00:22:04It is
00:22:04from Lucas.
00:22:05Give it
00:22:05back!
00:22:08That
00:22:08wretched
00:22:08beggar?
00:22:09He will
00:22:10never
00:22:10possess
00:22:11such a
00:22:11fine
00:22:12pendant.
00:22:12He
00:22:13must
00:22:13have
00:22:13stolen
00:22:13it
00:22:14from
00:22:14somewhere.
00:22:15Would
00:22:15right
00:22:15have
00:22:15you
00:22:15to
00:22:16make
00:22:16such
00:22:16rash
00:22:16accusations?
00:22:17Lucas may
00:22:18not be
00:22:18of noble
00:22:18birth
00:22:18like you,
00:22:19but you
00:22:19believe that
00:22:20possessing a
00:22:20jade pendant
00:22:21is a rightful
00:22:21due,
00:22:22yet Lucas is
00:22:22not worthy
00:22:23of the
00:22:23same.
00:22:23A
00:22:24worthless
00:22:24beggar's
00:22:24gift,
00:22:25and you
00:22:25treat it
00:22:26like a
00:22:26treasure.
00:22:26How
00:22:27ignorant.
00:22:28You
00:22:28won the
00:22:29pendant?
00:22:29Very
00:22:30well,
00:22:30but you
00:22:31must
00:22:31sever
00:22:31all
00:22:32ties
00:22:32with
00:22:32the
00:22:33sterlings.
00:22:34You
00:22:35father,
00:22:39will you
00:22:40truly
00:22:40indulge
00:22:41Josephine's
00:22:42audacity?

00:27:48want
00:27:48you?
00:27:49Why are you looking at me like that?
00:27:52I have long told you the fate of a woman who wets a beggar can only be won to be trampled upon at will.
00:27:59But do you truly believe you'll get your way?
00:28:07I want you to spend the rest of your days wallowing in the gutter watching as I rise to become the most esteemed woman in the world.
00:28:15his majesty has arrived.
00:28:37Evelyn, I'm sorry. I'm late.
00:28:39I'm sorry. I'm late.
00:28:40Just be.
00:28:43Lucas, I didn't lose your drink, pendant.
00:28:52Did they say it was his majesty? How could it be him?
00:28:55That beggar is dressed in such luxurious robes.
00:28:58And those men, are they the Imperial Guards?
00:29:01Why would they take orders from a beggar?
00:29:02I heard that filthy beggar's brother once served in the palace.
00:29:05Is it natural for him to procure some robes?
00:29:07That wretch beggar has suffered humiliation last time, and now he has come to regain his dignity?
00:29:12What a joke! A mere beggar, daring to put on an act in the Sterling Estate?
00:29:17Look at the fine husband you've chosen.
00:29:19Useless is one thing, but to be so audacious?
00:29:22As to steal from the Imperial Palace?
00:29:24If his majesty were to find out, do you really believe you will be spared?
00:29:27Deviant fools, you're doomed!
00:29:32You, what do you think you're doing?
00:29:34Avalyn, come with me.
00:29:36Avalyn, what's wrong?
00:29:37Who did this?
00:29:49Lucas!
00:29:57Yes, it was me!
00:29:58So what?
00:29:58I was only trying to help my dear sister.
00:30:00Who would have thought?
00:30:01She would walk barefoot across the burning charcoal.
00:30:04I wonder what she was thinking.
00:30:06Such a fool!
00:30:06Silence!
00:30:07And who do you think you are to dare raise your voice before me?
00:30:11Yes, I'm insulting her, because she married a worthless man.
00:30:15I am a noble lady with the Montag family.
00:30:17You are nothing but insects beneath my feet.
00:30:20Even if I were to kill you here and now, you ought to kneel and sack me for it.
00:30:24Let's see how much longer you can keep up this charade.
00:30:26Guards!
00:30:27Seize this filthy beggar, Nevelyn Sterling!
00:30:28Wait, wait.
00:30:29Wait.
00:30:33How dare you humiliate my lady?
00:30:37Seize them!
00:30:38Seize them!
00:30:39How dare you!
00:30:43I'm Lady Joseph of the Montag!
00:30:47Husband, save me!
00:30:48You filthy beggar!
00:30:49Guards!
00:30:49Whoever kills him for me, I shall reward him with ten tails of gold.
00:30:56Insulin, wretch!
00:30:57Lord Montague is of royal lineage!
00:30:59Who dare lay a hand on him, you shall make an enemy of the entire Montague family!
00:31:03And what of it?
00:31:04Anyone who dares to harm my lady shall only have one face, death!
00:31:11You filthy beggar, you're taking this act too far!
00:31:14Before I lose my temper, release me at once!
00:31:17I might disappear your life!
00:31:18You've tortured Evelyn to such wretched state!
00:31:21Press their faces!
00:31:23Straight into the burning charcoal!
00:31:27No!
00:31:28Oh!
00:31:29No!
00:31:30No!
00:31:30What are you doing?
00:31:31No!
00:31:32Stop!
00:31:32Once the judicial court arrives, you are doomed!
00:31:37All right.
00:31:37My brother is an official of the Imperial Court.
00:31:39Do you really think you'll walk away alive?
00:31:41I'd like to see if the judicial court would tolerate this.
00:31:47Carry on!
00:31:49Help!
00:31:49No!
00:31:50Help!
00:31:50No!
00:31:51Don't leave!
00:31:52You wretched fool!
00:31:53If you wish to die, don't drag the Stoley family down with you!
00:31:57No!
00:31:58Stop!
00:31:59Brother!
00:32:00Brother!
00:32:00Brother, save me!
00:32:01Who is harming my brother?
00:32:14Brother!
00:32:17The Imperial Secret Guards!
00:32:19Why are they here?
00:32:20Yes!
00:32:21I summoned them!
00:32:23That voice!
00:32:24Could it be...
00:32:26Your Majesty!
00:32:29Your Majesty!
00:32:33The Emperor!
00:32:34How could this filthy beggar...
00:32:36Brother!
00:32:37Don't let this filthy beggar fool you!
00:32:38These clothes he's wearing are all stolen from the Imperial Palace!
00:32:41All these people were bribed by him with a huge sum of money!
00:32:44That's right!
00:32:45You're new to this office!
00:32:46It's normal to get the wrong person, but he really is a filthy beggar!
00:32:49He can't possibly be the Emperor!
00:32:51That's true!
00:32:52The Emperor couldn't possibly be here!
00:32:54Wretched girl, look at the fine husband you've chosen!
00:32:58You've offended Lord Montague!
00:32:59I'll see how you plan to end this!
00:33:02My lord, you must uphold justice for us!
00:33:05This filthy beggar and Evelyn Sterling, they defied human ethics, even intended to murder us!
00:33:11Outrageous!
00:33:12At the foot of the Imperial City!
00:33:14How can you act so brazenly?
00:33:15Guards!
00:33:16Take them to the dungeon of the Judicial Court!
00:33:18Interrogate them with torture!
00:33:19Wait!
00:33:21What else do you have to say?
00:33:23Since when was this position of Lord Justice Deputy?
00:33:26Yours to assume!
00:33:27You filthy beggar!
00:33:28How could you possibly know about court appointments?
00:33:31My brother was appointed by the Empress Dowager herself!
00:33:34What now?
00:33:34Regret finally sinking in?
00:33:36Even the Empress Dowager was deceived!
00:33:39Your Montague family truly is impressive!
00:33:45Empress Dowager, please speak up for his subject!
00:33:48His Majesty, outside the palace, married the eldest daughter of the Sterling family!
00:33:51Because that woman, His Majesty, even lashed out!
00:33:53I said His Majesty married another woman outside the palace!
00:33:57Guards!
00:33:57Prepare to sit down!
00:34:01Insolent!
00:34:02How dare you offend the Empress Dowager?
00:34:04Are you trying to get yourself killed?
00:34:05Lord Montague!
00:34:06Please see clearly!
00:34:08Our Sterling family has long severed ties with Evelyn Sterling!
00:34:11Every word she says has nothing to do with us!
00:34:13That's right, my lord!
00:34:14Our Sterling family has always followed the rules!
00:34:17We would never dare speak against the royal family!
00:34:19Please see the truth, my lord!
00:34:21The President and the Royalty is the capital of crime!
00:34:23You must not let them go, my lord!
00:34:24Evelyn Sterling, your dear husband has now committed a heinous crime!
00:34:28No matter who comes today, they cannot save you!
00:34:32I can't.
00:34:33I can't.
00:34:33Lucas break up your arm.
00:34:34Sparrows, my lord.
00:34:35He didn't mean to offend...
00:34:37Haviland!
00:34:44Haviland, let's go.
00:34:46How dare you?
00:34:47Trying to run?
00:34:48Guards, stop them!
00:34:49Whoever dares to block us again, kill without mercy!
00:34:52Yes, sir!
00:34:56Trying to escape?
00:34:58It's not that easy!
00:34:59Lucas!
00:35:09Lucas!
00:35:10Lucas!
00:35:11Josephine Sterling, why is your heart so vicious?
00:35:15Lucas has no grievance with you, yet you harms him so cruelly!
00:35:18This filthy beggar actually tried to have some disfigure me?
00:35:21Of course I couldn't let you leave!
00:35:23Lucas!
00:35:23Stop looking!
00:35:28Your man won't be here to save you this time!
00:35:30You've got a death wish!
00:35:31Lucas!
00:35:33Well, you still can't hurry and go!
00:35:35I can't!
00:35:36Go?
00:35:37You still think he can go?
00:35:40Josephine Sterling, why won't you just let me go?
00:35:46I have to admit, sister, you're truly fortunate.
00:35:50Even marrying a beggar, you still found true love.
00:35:52What a pity!
00:35:54The more you're like this, the more impossible it is for me to let you have your way!
00:35:58You-
00:35:58Josephine, the grudge between us should not involve others.
00:36:03You can do whatever you want to me.
00:36:05I beg you, let Lucas go, please.
00:36:08Avalyn, you don't need to waste your breath on her.
00:36:11I can't drag you into this.
00:36:12How touching.
00:36:14Even at a time like this.
00:36:16You still have time to flirt with this filthy beggar?
00:36:19Since you're feeling wrong so deep, I might as well send you both to death together.
00:36:26What are you waiting for?
00:36:28Die!
00:36:29I will watch out!
00:36:30The Emperor Stowager has arrived!
00:36:34I'd like to see who dares harm my royal son!
00:36:40He really is the Emperor?
00:36:44He-
00:36:45He really is the Emperor?
00:36:47Avalyn!
00:36:47Avalyn!
00:36:48Imperial physician!
00:36:49Call the Imperial physician quickly!
00:36:51Your Majesty!
00:36:52Victor Langley, I ordered her immediately to send her back for treatment.
00:36:56If anything happens to her, I'll make sure you pay!
00:36:58You're severed, her base!
00:36:58Come, come, come!
00:37:00Hurry!
00:37:03Your Majesty, all members of the Starling family have been arrested.
00:37:06Your Majesty?
00:37:08Your-
00:37:08Your Majesty?
00:37:09Your Majesty?
00:37:11What?
00:37:12You called him?
00:37:13Your Majesty!
00:37:14Wasn't he a beggar?
00:37:15Pass down my decree.
00:37:17Sebastian Serding and his family are executed on the spot!
00:37:20Master!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:25Admin Montague, as an official of the court, you abused your power and aided evil from this
00:37:30day forth.
00:37:30You are stripped of your duty, imprisoned along the Montague in the judicial court.
00:37:34Spare me, Your Majesty.
00:37:35Spare me.
00:37:36Please, your-
00:37:37Spare me, Your Majesty!
00:37:38Thank Your Majesty to revoke the order!
00:37:41It was my fault!
00:37:43I failed to see the truth, Your Majesty!
00:37:47When you humiliated Evelyn back then, did you ever think this day would come?
00:37:53Impossible!
00:37:54Given a second chance to life, how can I still make the wrong choice?
00:37:58Empress Dowager, I did commit a grave offense, but it was all under the orders of the Strangley
00:38:02family.
00:38:02Empress Dowager, please, for the sake of my father's honor, spare me once!
00:38:06I beg Your Majesty and Empress Dowager for mercy!
00:38:09Please have mercy, Empress Dowager!
00:38:10Have mercy, Empress Dowager!
00:38:12My son, although the two unfilial sons of the Montague family are foolish, they were
00:38:18not the masterminds.
00:38:19They should be punished lighter.
00:38:20The Sterling family is a household of commoners.
00:38:23To execute them all is indeed lacking consideration for the women.
00:38:27I saw that woman was badly injured, my son.
00:38:30You should go tend to her quickly.
00:38:31Lucas, are you alright?
00:38:51Are you alright?
00:38:52Did you get hurt?
00:38:53I'm fine.
00:38:53Lie down quickly.
00:38:54The Imperius Physician said you have to lie down.
00:38:57Come on!
00:38:57Imperius Physician.
00:39:01What is going on?
00:39:03Why are we in the palace?
00:39:05What exactly happened?
00:39:08It was the Empress Dowager who saved us.
00:39:10The Empress Dowager?
00:39:12You want to make Evelyn Sterling your Empress?
00:39:16I absolutely do not approve.
00:39:18I pledge myself to Evelyn for life in private.
00:39:22Whether you approve or not, I will overcome all obstacles to make Evelyn my Empress.
00:39:26You!
00:39:26If you truly wish to make her Empress, she must pass my test.
00:39:34But...
00:39:34But, before that, you must not let her know your identity.
00:39:42Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to stop you.
00:39:48She left the palace to pray.
00:39:50Just happened to walk by the Sterling state.
00:39:52That's how she saved us.
00:39:53Then...
00:39:57What about my father and the others?
00:39:59The Empress Dowager gave the order to have them all beat in 50 strikes each.
00:40:03Adrian Montague frequented pleasure districts.
00:40:05His body couldn't take it and he fainted.
00:40:07The Empress Dowager ordered him to be put in confinement.
00:40:10And your sister was also sent to the Office of Discipline to do hard labor.
00:40:13And for your father and the others, they were exiled.
00:40:17Exiled?
00:40:17Evelyn, from now on, I will protect you.
00:40:25I asked the Empress Dowager for a position, and assigned you to the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:40:29From now on, the two of us will be working in the palace.
00:40:35That's wonderful.
00:40:35When the time comes, we may work in the palace for three to five years.
00:40:40Then we can leave together and live a simple life.
00:40:43Okay.
00:40:50Evelyn, I hope you can forgive me.
00:40:58Evelyn, when I have some free time, I'll come to see you.
00:41:01Guests should notify us before touring the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:41:20This one here is the steward of the Bureau, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:23If you need anything, just go to her.
00:41:27Greetings, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:28This one here is a newly arrived maid, Evelyn Sterling.
00:41:33In the days to come, please take good care of her, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:37Rest assured, I will take good care of Miss Evelyn.
00:41:40I definitely won't let her do heavy work.
00:41:47Lucas.
00:41:49I came here to work, right?
00:41:51Why does it feel like I'm being treated like a mistress?
00:41:54She...
00:41:58Maybe she's a nice person.
00:42:08Miss Evelyn, please come with me.
00:42:12Go ahead.
00:42:13Go ahead.
00:42:13You, clean all of these thoroughly.
00:42:30You and I both work at the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:42:33The tasks are assigned in advance.
00:42:34Why should I be the one to do your work?
00:42:36You've got the nerves to ask?
00:42:37It's because of you that I ended up cleaning the toilet bowl.
00:42:40Some people must have used certain means to learn a post here.
00:42:43And somehow even earned Ma'am Langston's favor.
00:42:45She got all the Yeezy's work assigned to you.
00:42:53Hey!
00:42:54Give it back to me!
00:43:07The Dragon Jade Pendant?
00:43:09There's something only His Majesty can wear.
00:43:11Hurry and inform Madam Langston.
00:43:12Someone is stealing.
00:43:14Oh, Majesty.
00:43:15Give it back to me.
00:43:16Right now.
00:43:16No.
00:43:16No.
00:43:16No.
00:43:17No.

00:43:31Grab her!
00:43:33Everyone, stop right there!
00:43:41Your Grace, the Imperial Household Bureau is such a crude place.
00:43:46You have never come here before.
00:43:47It might harm your noble health.
00:43:49Allow me to announce your arrival.
00:43:51No need.
00:43:51This time, I am disguised as a bureau matron, because I want to truly know Evelyn Sterling.
00:43:57She must never learn of my identity.
00:44:00Palace rules are strict.
00:44:10I was only gone for a little while, and you dare behave so wildly.
00:44:14What do you take the Imperial Household Bureau for?

00:54:25you do have some skill
00:54:26thank you for your praise madam

00:55:25you're not entirely a bad person
00:55:29it's just that your words
00:55:32can be utterly vicious
00:55:34let's go
00:55:42your majesty
00:55:47I believe
00:55:49I believe
00:55:49that his majesty's insistence
00:55:51on making Lady Evelyn the empress
00:55:52does not seem like a mere impulse
00:55:54Lady Evelyn truly possesses
00:55:57remarkable qualities
00:55:58let's eat a chestnut cake
00:56:01it was her
00:56:03it was you who seduced his majesty
00:56:14it was you who seduced his majesty
00:56:14who does stuck the face of yours
00:56:19no wonder you can't stay out of trouble
00:56:20his majesty's finding a bride outside the palace is wondering
00:56:23but when did your lowly servants dare to entertain such wicked thoughts?
00:56:28when did Evelyn ever seduce his majesty?
00:56:31Isabella
00:56:31have you forgotten how much we suffered because of her?
00:56:34Evelyn never once provoked me intentionally
00:56:35it was you
00:56:36who kept picking fights deliberately
00:56:38Isabella
00:56:39do you even know who I am?
00:56:43how dare you act so insolently in my presence?
00:56:46Susan
00:56:47wait
00:56:50the person standing before you
00:56:53is Lady Caldwell
00:56:54daughter of Chancellor Caldwell
00:56:55she's the one the empress
00:56:56dog rager has chosen to be empress
00:56:58what a fool
00:56:59since Lady Caldwell is the esteemed daughter of the chancellor
00:57:02surely you are a reasonable person
00:57:03we have never even met his majesty
00:57:05so how could there be any talk of seduction?
00:57:07I beg you Lady Caldwell spare me
00:57:09I heard from Eleanor
00:57:11that you not only seduced his majesty
00:57:13but also entangled yourself with the guards
00:57:15that face of yours
00:57:16is too dangerous to keep him
00:57:18stop
00:57:24stop
00:57:34stop
00:57:34the Imperial Household Bureau is part of the harem
00:57:45since when is it your place to interfere?
00:57:47a mere old servant
00:57:49there is to raise your voice in front of me
00:57:51you
00:57:52how dare you
00:57:53his majesty and I grew up together
00:57:56I am the only candidate for emphasis
00:57:58the harm will be mine sooner or later
00:57:59dealing with a lowly maid is nothing to me
00:58:02preposterous
00:58:03do you even know who stands before you?
00:58:05do you even know who stands before you?
00:58:07aren't you just a lowborn student?
00:58:10if I don't teach you a lesson you'll never learn your place
00:58:13restrain her as well
00:58:15Eleanor
00:58:17you wouldn't dare
00:58:18I never expected you to be so venomous at heart
00:58:25her majesty truly misjudged you
00:58:28you didn't call yourself her majesty?
00:58:30who are you taking yourself for?
00:58:32the empress dowager?
00:58:36a disfigured old wretch like you
00:58:40dare to use the title of the empress dowager
00:58:42it seems you've grown tired of living
00:58:43it seems you still refuse to admit your wrongdoing
00:58:46what wrong have I done?
00:58:48you born into lowly status
00:58:50can only be servants of the palace
00:58:51to defy your superiors
00:58:53and to seek death
00:58:54you
00:58:54Lady Catwell
00:58:55the inner court is under the jurisdiction of his majesty and the empress dowager
00:58:59to deal with the palace servants privately is likely against the rules
00:59:02I beg you to show mercy
00:59:03as the head of the imperial household bureau
00:59:05you have allowed your maid to seduce his majesty
00:59:07such behaviors as a dangerous example
00:59:09this is unforgivable
00:59:11fetch my wisdom
00:59:17the spring blossom banquet will be held at the beginning of next month
00:59:20this year all the nobles and dignitaries will be in attendance
00:59:23everything must be prepared perfectly
00:59:25your majesty rest assured
00:59:27I will spare no effort in ensuring its success
00:59:32you insolent servant
00:59:33how dare you disturb his majesty
00:59:35his majesty
00:59:36his humble maid greets your majesty
00:59:38and beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling
00:59:41what did you say?
00:59:42Evelyn's in danger
00:59:43what are you doing?
00:59:44it was me who offended Lady Catwell
00:59:46did I not wish for him who suffered punishment on my account
00:59:54since you are so eager to play the hero
01:00:11I shall grant your wish today
01:00:13enough
01:00:14Anna Caldwell
01:00:15her majesty advises you not to go too far
01:00:17otherwise
01:00:26you called yourself her majesty
01:00:28you reckless wretch
01:00:29today
01:00:30and she'll teach you the rules
01:00:31and she'll teach you the rules on behalf of the Empress Dowager
01:00:32Anna Caldwell
01:00:33do you know who you are about to whip?
01:00:37your majesty
01:00:39I greet the Empress Dowager
01:00:44I greet the Empress Dowager
01:00:45I greet her majesty
01:00:46the Empress Dowager
01:00:48how could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:55how could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:57how is this possible?
01:00:59her majesty was merely testing you
01:01:02but she never expected you to be so insolent

01:17:21i have no idea where the assassin came from
01:17:24of course you don't
01:17:25right before the banquet you were secretly meeting with the guard
01:17:27you were so affectionate that you just ignore everything around you

01:17:53whoah
01:17:56whoah
01:18:01whoah
01:18:02Sir, here's the guard.
01:18:04Are you alright, Lucas?
01:18:07Evelyn Sterling, how do you plead?
01:18:10Please investigate thoroughly.
01:18:12Since you're as an assassin, it's my fault indeed.
01:18:14I only beg you not to implicate anyone else.
01:18:16The palace is heavily guarded.
01:18:18An outsider could never get in.
01:18:20Evelyn must have secretly colluded with the assassin,
01:18:22if not for my husband's great reaction.
01:18:25You should have been executed by now.
01:18:28Chancellor Catmull, I really don't know about the assassin.
01:18:31I beg you to grant me some time.
01:18:33I will cover the truth behind this matter.
01:18:35Enough.
01:18:36Bate Evelyn Sterling colluded with the guard,
01:18:39disrupted palace order,
01:18:40and put the Empress Starwager in danger.
01:18:42Both of them are to be executed immediately.
01:18:52No.
01:18:53Chesler, rebarque of order.
01:18:55Chesler, I beg you.
01:18:57Chesler.
01:18:57Chesler, don't.
01:18:59Chesler, please.
01:19:01Chesler.
01:19:03Chesler.
01:19:03Chesler, I'm sorry.
01:19:05It's not my fault.
01:19:06I'm so sorry.
01:19:07Chesler, I'm sorry.
01:19:15Chesler, I'm sorry.
01:19:16Chesler, I'm sorry.
01:19:17Stop now!
01:19:26Don't you dare touch her!
01:19:30Your Majesty!
01:19:32Long live Your Majesty!
01:19:37Long live Your Majesty!
01:19:41How dare you
01:19:42condemning the innocent
01:19:44without discerning right from wrong?
01:19:47This is totally outrageous!
01:19:55You keep going against Evelyn
01:19:57at every turn.
01:19:58Today, if I weren't here,
01:20:00you would have gotten your way.
01:20:02Your Majesty, I didn't
01:20:03meant to hurt my sister!
01:20:05Your Majesty, Evelyn was in charge of the banquet
01:20:07that she allowed assassins in to hurt
01:20:09the Empress Dowager. I beg you,
01:20:11Your Majesty, issue an order at once
01:20:13to imprison her for further interrogation.
01:20:15Chester Gall was right! If it weren't for my husband's
01:20:17presence today, the Empress Dowager
01:20:19might not have survived!
01:20:20Your Majesty, my life is of no consequence,
01:20:22but Evelyn must be punished!
01:20:26Your Majesty, my life is of no consequence,
01:20:29but Evelyn must be punished!
01:20:31If this happens again,
01:20:33who will protect the palace?
01:20:35Please, you must punish Evelyn!
01:20:40Adrian Montagu, are you making decisions for me?
01:20:43The Empress Dowager has been traumatized today.
01:20:45If Your Majesty doesn't punish Evelyn,
01:20:47what if others follow her example?
01:20:49The consequences will be unimaginable!
01:20:51I request Your Majesty to punish Evelyn!
01:20:53I beg your Majesty to punish Evelyn!
01:20:55I beg your Majesty to punish Evelyn!
01:20:56I beg your Majesty to punish Evelyn!
01:21:01Is that so?
01:21:03If I have evidence that Evelyn's innocent,
01:21:05what should you be punished for?
01:21:07Nicholas, I'm asking you!
01:21:18They're fine. What's wrong about her?
01:21:22I'm willing to receive the same punishment.
01:21:24Okay. Come on. Bring them to me.
01:21:30Your majesty is wise.
01:21:32Following your orders, I've already arranged for guards
01:21:36to capture the assassin.
01:21:38Your majesty, spare me!
01:21:40The assassination was all Josephine and Andrea's idea.
01:21:43I was truly forced into it. Your majesty, spare me!
01:21:45Your majesty, please!
01:21:46It's over. It's all over.
01:21:48Guards, take Nicholas away!
01:21:51Your majesty, I've been serving the royals for decades!
01:21:56I'm absolutely loyal!
01:21:58Your majesty, please! Don't do this to me!
01:22:00Your majesty!
01:22:06Your majesty!
01:22:07It's for you two.
01:22:09Your majesty! Your majesty!
01:22:10This has nothing to do with me!
01:22:11It was all her!
01:22:12She ordered me to do it!
01:22:13You're lying!
01:22:14Your majesty, I was only jealous of my sister!
01:22:16The assassination was all Adrian's idea!
01:22:19And taking the flu was all part of this act!
01:22:21Your majesty!
01:22:22Damn it!
01:22:23How dare you betray me!
01:22:25Enough!
01:22:26Adrian Montague, Josephine Sterling,
01:22:29as masterminds,
01:22:30will be executed right now!
01:22:32Law, Catherine, in the Judicial Court.
01:22:37Wait for further orders.
01:22:38Your majesty!
01:22:40Your majesty!
01:22:41Please give me a chance, your majesty!
01:22:42Your majesty!
01:22:43Your majesty!
01:22:44If not for you,
01:22:47all of this would have been mine!
01:22:48No, no.
01:22:50It's all because of yourself, not me.
01:22:54You brought all of this upon yourself.
01:22:56No, no, no.
01:22:58No, no.
01:22:59No, no.
01:23:00No, no.
01:23:01No, no.
01:23:02No, no.
01:23:03No, no.
01:23:04Evelyn.
01:23:07Hi.
01:23:10So, your majesty,
01:23:12what is your real name?
01:23:16Lucian Prescott.
01:23:19Lucian Prescott.
01:23:22Now the criminals have been taken away,
01:23:24your majesty and your highness,
01:23:26you can finally be together.
01:23:31My highness.
01:23:33From today onward,
01:23:35I will make you empress.
01:23:42Starting today,
01:23:43the concubines will be dismissed.
01:23:45The harem only has one leader.
01:23:50And that will be my empress.
01:23:53British!
01:23:54Long live your highness!
01:23:56Long live your highness!
01:23:56Cheers!
