00:00:00Lady Evelyn Sterling from the Montagues, a woman of virtue, diligent and gentle, hereby

00:00:05bestow the title of first-ranked 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!

00:00:54Murder!

00:00:55Murder!

00:00:56Murder!

00:00:57Murder!

00:00:58This thing being over 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. The 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. You two better aim at the right man. Whichever of you marries well shall bring glory to our family.

00:01:49Have I been reborn just three years ago, the very day of the husband seeking bridal bond?

00:01:55My lady, it's time to cast your ball.

00:02:01Sister, please let me go first.

00:02:05In my past life, Josephine insists that I go first. Feigning modesty and humility. Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.

00:02:16Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me! Lady Josephine, come on!

00:02:26In this life, I have to marry Adrian!

00:02:30It's him! 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. Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank, and I shall become a noble lady of honor!

00:02:58Josephine, you have screamed relentlessly. But 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.

00:03:13Once I become Lady Montague, I shall be mindful of my words and actions bringing prosperity to our family.

00:03:20Sister, 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... that...

00:03:44Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

00:03:47Master, if the Empress tower did 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, Mr. Darling, let's go! 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.

00:04:11This 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.

00:04:19Evelyn, now it's your turn. And you better aim as close as Josephine.

00:04:25Mother, 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.

00:04:36Powerful or not, rich or not, it's only written on water.

00:04:45In this life, I seek only a true companion to live a peaceful life till the end.

00:04:50It's him. It's him. The beggar that Josephine ran away from.

00:05:08That Josephine ran away from.

00:05:11Oh, oh no. It actually went to a beggar.

00:05:16Sister, what terrible luck you have. A beggar out of so many people down there. How do you expect father to hold his head high?

00:05:23Damn it! With so many people down there, how could you cast into a beggar? Are you deliberately trying to shame me?

00:05:31What's done is done, sister. Do not be too upset.

00:05:34Though he is of lowly birth, but look, at least he got a pretty face.

00:05:38It is only a pity for you, sister, raising comfort and luxury. But now bound to a beggar, you shall have to labor yourself to earn your bread.

00:05:48Now this will be quite the spectacle. The esteemed Lady Evelyn will marry a beggar? Everyone is watching.

00:05:54If she refuses, it's going to ruin their credit. Who would associate with them more?

00:06:01Hey! Hey! Hey! Cease her! Don't let her escape!

00:06:04Master, how did this bridal ball end up in your hands? What should we do now? Let's discard it!

00:06:11I'm dressed in such rags. She won't agree.

00:06:17Sister, why are you running? You cast the bridal ball yourself!

00:06:22You damn girl! Look at the filthy beggar you've got!

00:06:26If he becomes my son-in-law, it's gonna be a huge disgrace to us!

00:06:32In my past life, I was mistreated by the Montagues and used for Sterling's ambitions.

00:06:38Thinking back now, perhaps marrying a beggar would be a better fate.

00:06:43The rule of the bridal ball is binding. Since he caught the ball, you should-

00:06:48I am willing to marry him!

00:06:49I am willing to marry him!

00:06:55What?

00:06:59My name is Evelyn Sterling. What's yours?

00:07:03I am Lu-

00:07:05Lucas Prescott.

00:07:07With all present as my witnesses today.

00:07:14I, Evelyn Sterling.

00:07:16Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband.

00:07:18Are you serious?

00:07:19Huh.

00:07:20Yeah.

00:07:21The ball is in your hands.

00:07:23You wanna... reject me?

00:07:25I didn't.

00:07:26It's just that I'm poor as hell.

00:07:27Marrying me would mean a life of a certainty.

00:07:28Are you sure?

00:07:29We're not disabled or something.

00:07:30We may be poor now, but we can always earn our money.

00:07:35We can work hard to make a living ourselves.

00:07:38I've never seen someone so easily content.

00:07:39He's just a filthy beggar!

00:07:40You're really gonna marry him?

00:07:41Evelyn.

00:07:42You're sure about this?

00:07:43Marrying me would mean a life of a certainty.

00:07:44Are you sure?

00:07:45Are you sure?

00:07:46We're not disabled or something.

00:07:47We may be poor now, but we can always earn our money.

00:07:50We can work hard to 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 and your future is ruined.

00:08:07I do not believe that is true.

00:08:09Future won't be decided like that.

00:08:11Lucas.

00:08:12He may be in rags now.

00:08:14But I can see his humility and good manner.

00:08:17He's gonna make a difference maybe.

00:08:19You are-

00:08:21Rule is rule.

00:08:22You're not eating your words, are you sir?

00:08:25Indeed.

00:08:26If he refuses, that's breaking the rules and gonna ruin their reputation.

00:08:30Seems well, she 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, don't blame us in the future.

00:08:39You won't get a share of the coming glory of us!

00:08:43I understand.

00:08:44The matchmaking is concluded.

00:08:46Everyone disperse!

00:08:48Sister.

00:08:49No hard feelings.

00:08:51But marrying a beggar means you will spend your life beneath me.

00:09:01You should worry about yourself.

00:09:03Life with the Montague's is not as easy as you imagine.

00:09:07You...

00:09:08In three days, remember to come to propose.

00:09:22It's her or mother's pressing.

00:09:24So I might as well...

00:09:26Alright.

00:09:27I'll be there.

00:09:28Today, the second daughter of the Sarlene family is to be wed.

00:09:29Her dowry includes a pair of gold phoenix hairpins laid with precious gems, twenty bolts of fine brocade, three land deeds for silk shops in the eastern district.

00:09:47Lady Josephine Sterling's salary is worth a fortune.

00:09:50Yet Lady Evelyn Sterling has nothing at all.

00:09:52They're both daughters of the Sarlene family.

00:09:54But the difference between them is astonishing.

00:09:56Sister, after marrying a beggar, you will likely toil for the rest of your life.

00:10:00I wonder if you can even endure such life.

00:10:11It's the bridegroom.

00:10:12The bridegroom has arrived.

00:10:16As expected of the second son of the Montague family, the spectacle is grand indeed.

00:10:21Of course, the Montagues hold immense power.

00:10:23Marrying into their family, Lady Josephine Sterling will live a life of endless luxury.

00:10:27Unlike Evelyn marrying a beggar, this will certainly be an interesting sight to behold.

00:10:32My respects to my honor, father and mother-in-law.

00:10:34Please rise, my son-in-law.

00:10:35My son-in-law.

00:10:36Such an elaborate wedding procession is a spectacle worthy of Highgate.

00:10:41For our dear Josephine to be regarded so highly by you is an honor to the Sterling family.

00:10:50Sister, the auspicious hour is nearly over. Why has your husband not come for you?

00:10:54Could it be that he's not coming at all?

00:10:57I, your humble son-in-law, greet my honored father-in-law.

00:11:12My lady.

00:11:17My lady.

00:11:18Are you here to beg for the alms or take a bride? Dressed in such rags, do you not feel ashamed? Compared to Lord Montague, you are as far apart as heaven and earth.

00:11:28Just what are you wearing? In front of so many esteemed officials, are you not bringing shame upon me?

00:11:33Today is your wedding day. And yet you came dressed like this? Do you not find this is a disgrace? Do you not finding this humiliating?

00:11:42Marriage is a lifelong commitment, building upon sincerity, not mere appearances. The man I, Evelyn Sterling, have chosen is not one whose worth can be swayed by idle words.

00:11:51Have you not embarrassed us enough?

00:11:54Master, do not be angered. From the moment Evelyn steps beyond this threshold, she'll no longer be a Sterling.

00:12:02The auspicious hour has arrived! Bring the bride to the carriage!

00:12:05This is the...

00:12:14Congratulations, Master Sterling. Your son-in-law is truly an exceptional man.

00:12:21Many thanks, Deputy Minister. Please come inside.

00:12:26Off to you.

00:12:27Surely you didn't arrive on foot today. On such a big day, will you have the bride walk all the way to your home? Unheard of.

00:12:40Indeed. Not like my husband.

00:12:46My lady, please, allow me to take you home.

00:12:49Bow to the heavens and the earth.

00:13:11Is this the place you've found us to live in?

00:13:14Bow to the elders.

00:13:16A shabby place like this, is it even fit for a living?

00:13:22I just didn't want you to blow your cover.

00:13:25And bow to each other as husband and wife.

00:13:34The ceremony is complete!

00:13:38My lady, I have put you through hardship, having a life with me in such a shabby place.

00:13:42Not at all. I actually think it's rather spacious. At least, it shields us from the wind and rain.

00:13:52If we work hard from now on, keep this place tidy, it'll soon feel much more comfortable.

00:13:56At this moment, I have nothing of value to give you.

00:14:00The shade pendant was left to me by my father.

00:14:04I've carried it with me all these years.

00:14:06And now, I'm giving it to you.

00:14:09It's so precious. Are you certain of it?

00:14:20Alright. I will cherish it well.

00:14:22I will cherish it well.

00:14:23You're up.

00:14:48Breakfast is ready for you.

00:14:53Hey, where are you going?

00:14:58Today is the wife's homecoming day.

00:14:59I made telemeds for my parents, but they're not quite finished.

00:15:02I need to buy some more threats and complete them before I return home.

00:15:05Alright, I'll go with you.

00:15:07Alright.

00:15:09Let's go.

00:15:14Greetings, your ma-

00:15:15Greetings, your majesty!

00:15:16Greetings, your majesty!

00:15:21Greetings, your majesty!

00:15:23Who are they?

00:15:28The palace is too complicated.

00:15:29Once everything's settled, I'll reveal my identity to Evelyn.

00:15:32They are...

00:15:36They're here for Victor.

00:15:38Yes, yes, I used to serve in the palace.

00:15:44These are all old acquaintances.

00:15:46Evelyn, I'll help Victor to entertain the guests.

00:15:51Will you be alright buying threat on your own?

00:15:53Yes.

00:15:54Yes.

00:15:55Hmm.

00:15:56Speak!

00:15:57What happened?

00:15:58The Empress Dowager distressed over your majesty's presence and suddenly collapsed.

00:16:13What?

00:16:14Victor, stay here and protect your Evelyn.

00:16:16Let's head back.

00:16:17Yes, your majesty.

00:16:18Get someone to deliver some valuable gifts to Sterling Estate.

00:16:22Say that they're Evelyn's homecoming gifts.

00:16:23Yes, your majesty.

00:16:24Let's go!

00:16:25Father!

00:16:26Father!

00:16:27Mother!

00:16:28Your daughter has returned!

00:16:30Father!

00:16:31Why has sister returned alone?

00:16:35Are you ashamed of your beggar husband?

00:16:47So you didn't even bring him to meet the family.

00:16:49My husband wanted to come, but something urgent came up.

00:16:53Since being married to the beggar, Lady Evelyn Sterling must have suffered a great deal.

00:16:58You look much frailer than before.

00:17:02Had you not married that filthy beggar, perhaps I would have taken you as a concubine.

00:17:06At least you wouldn't have fallen to such a state.

00:17:09That will not be necessary.

00:17:10I am living well.

00:17:11As of for you, sister, it has been quite a few days since you had seen your husband before.

00:17:16You-

00:17:17Ugh.

00:17:18Screw you, Adrian.

00:17:19Went drinking with Quarzenz on our wedding night and now everyone knows we are utterly humiliating

00:17:25me.

00:17:26Josephine.

00:17:27Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

00:17:30Father, mother, greetings to you both.

00:17:34Greetings to you both.

00:17:35You've returned alone?

00:17:37How can you still have the face to come back?

00:17:39What does your husband do all day, not even accompanying you for your homecoming?

00:17:44Mother, you're thinking too highly of her.

00:17:48That filthy beggar is probably begging in the streets right now.

00:17:51How could he possibly compare to my husband?

00:17:53Father-in-law, your humble son-in-law has brought a small gift.

00:17:58Oh.

00:17:59Oh.

00:18:00Oh.

00:18:01Hmm.

00:18:02Oh.

00:18:03Oh.

00:18:04Our dear Josephine has truly found herself a fine husband.

00:18:07For our daughter to marry such a fine gentleman, it must be the blessing she has earned over

00:18:11eight lifetimes.

00:18:12Oh.

00:18:13Unlike someone who chose a beggar as her husband.

00:18:16Our sterling family has raised you for so many years, and yet you come back empty-handed

00:18:21on your homecoming day.

00:18:23Oh.

00:18:24Indeed, sister.

00:18:25Oh.

00:18:26This is my homecoming gift.

00:18:27Have you fallen into such poverty that you cannot even afford a proper homecoming gift?

00:18:32Oh.

00:18:33Oh.

00:18:34Oh.

00:18:35Oh.

00:18:36Oh.

00:18:37Oh.

00:18:38Oh.

00:18:39Oh.

00:18:40Oh.

00:18:41Oh.

00:18:42Oh.

00:18:43Oh.

00:18:44Oh.

00:18:45Oh.

00:18:46Oh.

00:18:47Oh.

00:18:48Oh.

00:18:49Oh.

00:18:50Oh.

00:18:51Oh.

00:18:52Oh.

00:18:53Oh.

00:18:54Oh.

00:18:55That's truly what you've brought.

00:18:56A few scraps of cloth with embroidery.

00:18:59How dare you present these?

00:19:01Well, she did marry a beggar.

00:19:03So her gift befits her status perfectly.

00:19:06Oh right.

00:19:08She has married a beggar.

00:19:10What else could we expect from her?

00:19:12Laughter

00:19:17Master! Madam! Someone from the palace has arrived with gifts!

00:19:21They say they are the homecoming gifts from Lady Evelyn.

00:19:26Master Surly! Who exactly has your eldest daughter married a mountain nobility?

00:19:31Even a palace saw fit to have me personally delivered these gifts to you.

00:19:34You must hold great influence indeed.

00:19:36Gift from the palace?

00:19:37Then it must be from His Majesty himself.

00:19:39So, it was personally arranged by the chief eunuch at his majesty's side.

00:19:42He said, for the Starling family's eldest daughter.

00:19:50Mr. Ashford, you must be mistaken.

00:19:54All of Highgate knows that Evelyn married a beggar.

00:19:58How could she possibly have ties to anyone in the palace?

00:20:02Oh, this must surely be a courtesy to young Master Montague.

00:20:09Indeed, in this world, those seeking favor with the Montague family are countless.

00:20:15Even those in the palace are paying their respects.

00:20:18Father-in-law, please accept with joy.

00:20:22Josephine has married a remarkable husband.

00:20:24Just look at the grandeur of her homecoming.

00:20:27Such lavish gifts.

00:20:29Our Sterling family is truly honored beyond measure.

00:20:33The gifts have been delivered.

00:20:35I shall take my leave.

00:20:37Oh, take care.

00:20:37Take care.

00:20:41Sister, my husband has prepared two sets of homecoming gifts, seeing all these.

00:20:46Do you not feel ashamed?

00:20:48It's not about the quality of gifts, but the sincerity behind them.

00:20:51I see nothing inappropriate in this.

00:20:53I've poured my heart and effort into raising you, and yet, not only did you marry a beggar,

00:20:58but you even bring back these worthless rags to disgrace me.

00:21:00The Sterling family has no place for such a disgraceful daughter.

00:21:03Simply because I married Lucas, you feel justified to humiliate me like this.

00:21:09Josephine acts in the best interest of the Sterling family, unlike you, who married a beggar, bringing disgrace upon us all.

00:21:16Disgrace.

00:21:19It's only because Josephine married into wealth that you so readily indulge her.

00:21:24Insolent child!

00:21:25Such outrageous defiance!

00:21:26Who has put these ideas in your head?

00:21:28Is it not the truth?

00:21:29In your eyes, a daughter is nothing more than a pawn to suck your power and favor.

00:21:37Outrageous!

00:21:38How dare you speak to your father in such a manner!

00:21:45A dragon jade pendant?

00:21:49Outrageous!

00:21:51And now, I must inform his majesty.

00:21:55Give it back to me!

00:21:56This jade pendant looks of fine quality.

00:22:01From where did you steal it, sister?

00:22:04That is from Lucas.

00:22:05Give it back!

00:22:08That wretched beggar?

00:22:09He will never possess such a fine pendant.

00:22:12He must have stolen it from somewhere.

00:22:15Would right have you to make such rash accusations.

00:22:17Lucas may not be of noble birth like you,

00:22:19but you believe that possessing a jade pendant is a rightful due.

00:22:22Yet Lucas is not worthy of the same.

00:22:23A worthless beggar's gift, and you treat it like a treasure.

00:22:26How ignorant.

00:22:28You won the pendant?

00:22:29Very well.

00:22:30But you must sever all ties with the Sterlings.

00:22:34You...

00:22:35Father, will you truly indulge Josephine's audacity?

00:22:43Am I not also your daughter?

00:22:45You insisted on marrying a beggar.

00:22:48Bringing shame upon the Sterling family,

00:22:50you are unworthy to be my daughter.

00:22:52On this day forth, I have only one daughter.

00:22:54Josephine!

00:22:55Josephine!

00:23:02For the rest of my life,

00:23:04I seek only to be with the one who is true of heart.

00:23:07Even if I must live on plain fare,

00:23:09it is better than enduring cold disdain in the Sterlings.

00:23:13Since that is the case...

00:23:14Hi, Evelyn Sterling.

00:23:25Severe all ties with the Sterling family.

00:23:29We're here and forth, strangers.

00:23:31All for the sake of a worthless beggar.

00:23:43You would sever ties with us?

00:23:45It is fortunate we never placed our hopes in you.

00:23:48Is that not what Father has always thought of?

00:23:53Why should I remain here only to be an eyesore to him?

00:23:58Hold it.

00:23:59Now that you wish to leave, I fear it is too late.

00:24:03Guards!

00:24:04Bring the burning charcoal from the kitchen!

00:24:07Scattering them across the board!

00:24:08What are you trying to do?

00:24:12Your Majesty, something terrible has happened.

00:24:14Lady Evelyn was humiliated at the Sterling estate.

00:24:22One's body and soul are bestowed by One's parents.

00:24:25If you wish to sever ties,

00:24:27you must first repay your parents' kindness.

00:24:30My Lady speaks most reasonably.

00:24:32Given your current state,

00:24:33it would be far too much to expect

00:24:35that you present anything of great value.

00:24:37Then you have no choice but to walk barefoot

00:24:39across this bed of burning charcoal.

00:24:43It is bleeding so fiercely.

00:24:45How could anyone survive walking across them?

00:24:47I will not walk.

00:24:50Oh?

00:24:51It seems, dear sister,

00:24:53that you no longer want this jade pendant.

00:24:57Stop!

00:25:00Lucas is the only one who has ever treated me well.

00:25:04This jade pendant was left to him by his parents.

00:25:06Very well.

00:25:07I will never allow his heartfelt gift to be trampled a couple.

00:25:10I will walk.

00:25:11For the sake of a filthy beggar,

00:25:33you would go to such lengths?

00:25:34You must have lost your mind.

00:25:37Stop!

00:25:38For a mere jade pendant,

00:25:39a lady born into privilege

00:25:41would willingly walk across burning charcoal.

00:25:43No wonder she was foolish enough

00:25:45to marry a mere beggar.

00:25:46After all,

00:25:47what does a beggar have to his name

00:25:49but worthless trinkets?

00:25:50This jade pendant is likely

00:25:52his most treasured possession.

00:25:54No wonder, dear sister,

00:25:56cherishes it so.

00:25:57The jade pendant was left to me by my father.

00:26:01I've carried it with me all these years.

00:26:04And now,

00:26:05I'm giving it to you.

00:26:14For me, my lady.

00:26:17Lucas,

00:26:18do not worry.

00:26:19I will reclaim the jade pendant.

00:26:33Can you

00:26:33return the jade pendant to me now?

00:26:38You want it?

00:26:41Then crawl over and take it.

00:26:43As long as you crawl over,

00:26:45this jade pendant will be yours.

00:26:46The jade pendant was left to me by my father.

00:27:05I've carried it with me all these years.

00:27:08And now,

00:27:08I'm giving it to you.

00:27:12All right.

00:27:14I will cherish it, Will.

00:27:16you claim

00:27:40to cherish your love

00:27:42for that filthy beggar.

00:27:43But if you were disfigured,

00:27:46would your dearest husband still want you?

00:27:50Why are you looking at me like that?

00:27:53I have long told you

00:27:54the fate of a woman

00:27:55who wets a beggar

00:27:56can only be one

00:27:58to be trampled upon at will.

00:28:00You exhaust yourself

00:28:01trying to torment me.

00:28:03But

00:28:03do you truly believe

00:28:05you're getting your way?

00:28:06I want you

00:28:08to spend the rest of your days

00:28:10wallowing in the gutter,

00:28:12watching as I rise

00:28:13to become the most esteemed woman

00:28:14in the world.

00:28:24His majesty has arrived!

00:28:26Who dares to lay a hand

00:28:33on my woman?

00:28:37Evelyn,

00:28:38I'm sorry.

00:28:39I'm late.

00:28:42Just leave.

00:28:43Lucas,

00:28:44I didn't lose your jade pendant.

00:28:47Did they say it was his majesty?

00:28:54How could it be him?

00:28:55That beggar

00:28:56is dressed in such luxurious robes.

00:28:58And those men,

00:28:59are they the imperial guards?

00:29:01Why would they take orders

00:29:02from a beggar?

00:29:02I heard that filthy beggar's brother

00:29:04once served in the palace.

00:29:05Is it natural for him

00:29:06to procure some robes?

00:29:07That wretched beggar

00:29:08has suffered

00:29:09humiliation last time,

00:29:10and now

00:29:11he has come to regain

00:29:12his dignity?

00:29:12Ha!

00:29:13What a joke!

00:29:14A mere beggar

00:29:15daring to put on an act

00:29:16in the Sterling Estate?

00:29:17Look at the fine husband

00:29:18you've chosen.

00:29:19Useless is one thing,

00:29:21but to be so audacious

00:29:22as to steal from

00:29:23the imperial palace?

00:29:24If his majesty

00:29:25were to find out,

00:29:26do you really believe

00:29:27you will be spared?

00:29:27Deviant fools,

00:29:28you're doomed!

00:29:32You!

00:29:32What do you think

00:29:33you're doing?

00:29:34Evelyn,

00:29:34come with me.

00:29:36Evelyn,

00:29:37what's wrong?

00:29:43Who did this?

00:29:49Lucas.

00:29:57Yes,

00:29:57it was me.

00:29:58So what?

00:29:58I was only trying

00:29:59to help my dear sister.

00:30:00Who would have thought

00:30:01she would walk

00:30:02barefoot across

00:30:02the 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

00:30:08you are

00:30:09to dare raise your voice

00:30:10before me?

00:30:11Yes,

00:30:12I'm insulting her

00:30:13because she married

00:30:14a worthless man.

00:30:15I am a noble lady

00:30:16with the Montag family.

00:30:17You are nothing

00:30:18but insects beneath my feet.

00:30:20Even if I were

00:30:21to kill you here and now,

00:30:22you ought to kneel

00:30:23and sack me for it.

00:30:23Let's see how much longer

00:30:25you can keep up this charade.

00:30:26Guard!

00:30:27Seize this filthy beggar

00:30:28and Evelyn Sterling.

00:30:29Wait.

00:30:33How dare you

00:30:34humiliate my lady?

00:30:37Seize them!

00:30:38Seize them!

00:30:41How dare you!

00:30:43I'm Lady Joseph of the Montag!

00:30:47My husband, save me!

00:30:48You filthy beggar!

00:30:49Guards!

00:30:49Whoever kills him for me,

00:30:50I shall reward him

00:30:51with ten tales of gold.

00:30:56Insolent, wretch!

00:30:57Lord Montague is of royal lineage!

00:30:59If you dare lay a hand on him,

00:31:00you shall make an enemy

00:31:01of the entire Montague family!

00:31:03And what of it?

00:31:04Anyone who dares to harm

00:31:06my lady

00:31:06shall only have one face,

00:31:08death!

00:31:08Death!

00:31:10You filthy beggar!

00:31:13You're taking this act too far!

00:31:14Before I lose my temper,

00:31:16release me at once!

00:31:17I might disappear your life!

00:31:18You've tortured Evelyn

00:31:19to 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 traditional court arrives,

00:31:34you are doomed!

00:31:37All right.

00:31:37My brother is an official

00:31:38of the Imperial Court.

00:31:39Do you really think

00:31:40you'll walk away alive?

00:31:42I'd like to see

00:31:42if the judicial court

00:31:44would 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,

00:31:54don't drag your Stoley family

00:31:56down with you!

00:31:57No!

00:31:58Stop!

00:31:59Brother!

00:32:00Brother, save me!

00:32:01No!

00:32:02No!

00:32:03No!

00:32:04No!

00:32:05No!

00:32:06No!

00:32:06Who is harming my brother?

00:32:17The Imperial Secret Guards.

00:32:19Why are they here?

00:32:20Yes.

00:32:21I summoned them.

00:32:23That voice.

00:32:25Could it be?

00:32:26Your Majesty!

00:32:29Your Majesty!

00:32:33The Emperor!

00:32:34How could this filthy beggar...

00:32:36Brother, don't let this filthy beggar fool you!

00:32:39These 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,

00:32:48but 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!

00:32:59Thank you!

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!

00:33:29How 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 your 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!

00:33:53You 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 Emperor Dowager?

00:34:04Are you trying to get yourself killed?

00:34:05Lord Montague, please 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!

00:34:14That'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 in the world 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...

00:34:32I can't let Lucas break up your arm!

00:34:34Spare us, my lord!

00:34:36He didn't mean to offend...

00:34:38Aveline!

00:34:44Aveline!

00:34:45Let's go!

00:34:46How dare you!

00:34:47Trying to run?

00:34:48Guards!

00:34:48Stop them!

00:34:49Whoever dares to block us again!

00:34:51Kill without mercy!

00:34:52Yes, sir!

00:34:52Trying to escape?

00:34:58It's not that easy!

00:35:04Lucas!

00:35:09Lucas!

00:35:10Lucas!

00:35:12Josephine Sterling, why is your heart so vicious?

00:35:15Lucas has no grievance with you, yet you harms him so cruelly!

00:35:17This filthy beggar actually tried to have some disfigure me?

00:35:21Of course I couldn't let you leave!

00:35:23Lucas!

00:35:27Stop looking!

00:35:28Your man won't be here to save you this time!

00:35:30You've got a death wish!

00:35:32Lucas!

00:35:34Well, 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?

00:35:44I have to admit...

00:35:48Sister, you're truly fortunate if marrying a beggar you still found true love!

00:35:53What 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!

00:36:00The grudge between us should not involve others!

00:36:03You can do whatever you want to me!

00:36:05I beg you!

00:36:06Let Lucas go, please!

00:36:08Aveline!

00:36:09You 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!

00:36:22I might as well send you both...

00:36:24To death together!

00:36:26What are you waiting for?

00:36:28Die!

00:36:29I will watch out!

00:36:32The Emperor Stowager has arrived!

00:36:34I'd like to see who dares harm my royal son!

00:36:40He really is the Emperor?

00:36:42He...

00:36:43He really is the Emperor?

00:36:47Evelyn!

00:36:48Imperial physician!

00:36:50Call the Imperial physician quickly!

00:36:51Your Majesty!

00:36:52Victor Langley, I ordered her to immediately send her back for treatment!

00:36:56If anything happens to her, I'll make sure you pay!

00:36:58You're servitor, Bakes!

00:36:59Come, come, come!

00:37:00Hurry!

00:37:01Wait!

00:37:03Your Majesty!

00:37:04All members of the Starling family have been arrested!

00:37:07Your Majesty?

00:37:08Your...

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!

00:37:24Admin 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 spare me, Your Majesty!

00:37:38Thank Your Majesty to revoke the order!

00:37:41It was my fault!

00:37:44I 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!

00:38:11Have 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 later.

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.

00:38:37Huh!

00:38:42Lucas, are you alright?

00:38:51Are you alright?

00:38:52Did you get hurt?

00:38:53I'm fine.

00:38:54Lie down quickly.

00:38:54The Imperial's Physician said you have to lie down.

00:38:57Come on!

00:38:58Imperial 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!

00:39:29If you truly wish to make her Empress, she must pass my test.

00:39:33But, but, but, 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.

00:39:55Then, what 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?

00:40:19Evelyn.

00:40:21From now on, I will protect you.

00:40:25I ask the Empress Dowager for a position.

00:40:27And assigns you to the Imperial Household Bureau.

00:40:30From now on, the two of us will be working in the palace.

00:40:35That's wonderful.

00:40:36When 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.

00:40:51I hope you can forgive me.

00:40:58Evelyn.

00:40:59When I have some free time, I'll come to see you.

00:41:02Alright.

00:41:05Greetings.

00:41:10This 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.

00:41:30This 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.

00:41:36Rest 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?

00:41:58She...

00:41:59Maybe 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 land a post here.

00:42:43And somehow even earned Ma'am Langston's favor.

00:42:45She got all the Yeez'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 in and inform Madam Langston.

00:43:12Someone is stealing.

00:43:14Oh, Majesty.

00:43:15Give it back to me, right now.

00:43:16What are you waiting for?

00:43:32Grab her!

00:43:34Everyone, stop right there.

00:43:35Your Grace.

00:43:43The 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.

00:43:52This time, I am disguised as a Bureau Matron

00:43:54because I want to truly know Evelyn Sterling.

00:43:58She must never learn of my identity.

00:44:00Palace rules are strict.

00:44:10I was only gone for a little while.

00:44:12And you dare behave so wildly.

00:44:14What do you take the Imperial Household Bureau for?

00:44:16Ma'am, she stole His Majesty's Jade Pendant.

00:44:21The one thing most forbidden in the harm is Eve.

00:44:23She feared being exposed and even tried to harm me.

00:44:26Ma'am, you must punish her properly.

00:44:28Ma'am, Langston, please let me explain.

00:44:32This isn't what happened.

00:44:33Enough.

00:44:34Hand over the Jade Pendant.

00:44:39The pendant belongs to me.

00:44:43I said hand over the Jade Pendant.

00:44:58The Dragon Jade Pendant.

00:45:02It truly belongs to His Majesty.

00:45:04The Dragon Jade Pendant.

00:45:06It truly belongs to His Majesty.

00:45:08The Emperor even gave her something this important?

00:45:11She even dares to steal His Majesty's pendant.

00:45:14In the future, who knows what outrageous things she might do?

00:45:17Palace rules are very clear.

00:45:19Anyone caught stealing goods worth more than one dollar

00:45:21will have their left foot cut off and be branded.

00:45:24Ma'am, please listen to my explanation.

00:45:26This pendant was given to me by someone very dear to me.

00:45:30It was definitely not stolen.

00:45:32I truly don't know how it could belong to His Majesty.

00:45:34We confirm the pendant belongs to my son.

00:45:37Wouldn't that expose us to your identity?

00:45:39No.

00:45:40We can't rely on the object to prove there was theft involved.

00:45:43I'll thoroughly investigate this matter until the truth is found.

00:45:47The pendant will remain with me.

00:45:48If you are truly innocent, I will make things right for you.

00:45:51Thank you, ma'am.

00:45:54This is the new steward, Madam Williams.

00:45:56From now on, she will work with me to manage the Bureau.

00:45:59All of you, behave yourselves.

00:46:01Anyone who tries to be sneaky or lazy

00:46:03will be punished according to palace rules.

00:46:06Yes, ma'am.

00:46:06Your bullying of your colleague has not been settled yet.

00:46:14You are to clean toilet bowl as punishment.

00:46:16You may eat only when you finish.

00:46:21Yes, ma'am.

00:46:21Oh, isn't this much better?

00:46:41Your Majesty, Miss Caldwell has come to the palace again today.

00:46:54Do you wish to see her?

00:46:55No.

00:46:56Tell her to go back where she came from.

00:46:58This.

00:46:59You.

00:47:00Go back.

00:47:01I'm going to see Evelyn.

00:47:02If you follow me, you'll expose my identity.

00:47:05Out of the way.

00:47:09Evelyn.

00:47:10Evelyn.

00:47:11Lucas.

00:47:16Why are you here?

00:47:19How can Madam Langston let you do this kind of work?

00:47:22I'll go speak with her.

00:47:24I'll go speak with her.

00:47:26Lucas.

00:47:28It's just cleaning a toilet bowl is not a big deal.

00:47:32Evelyn.

00:47:36I.

00:47:36I'm sorry you had to endure this.

00:47:46I promise I'll find a way to get you out of here as soon as possible.

00:47:50By the way, the jade pendant of yours, what's the story behind it?

00:47:54Why is it that they keep saying that the pendant belongs to his majesty?

00:47:58Oh, my father.

00:48:01My father once won first place in the imperial exam.

00:48:03To encourage outstanding scholars, his majesty rewarded him with the jade pendant.

00:48:07This is how it came into our hands.

00:48:09Oh, I see.

00:48:10All they say is his majesty, his majesty.

00:48:12I thought maybe you were lying to me.

00:48:14Who's there?

00:48:23It's Madam Willems.

00:48:24Hurry up, go.

00:48:25Go let her see you.

00:48:25Tomorrow.

00:48:26I'll come to see you tomorrow again.

00:48:27Madam, all the toilet bowls have been cleaned.

00:48:38Cleaned already?

00:48:40Then go sweep the entire back courtyard.

00:48:46Yes, ma'am.

00:48:49Finally done with everything.

00:48:57Why are you throwing my things?

00:49:04Madam Willems gave orders herself.

00:49:06She said at first light tomorrow, you're to deliver her medicine.

00:49:08Ma'am said, the medicine must be boiled with morning dew.

00:49:12Tonight, you should wait outside.

00:49:13Morning dew.

00:49:16Morning dew.

00:49:18Everyone heard it.

00:49:19I'm not making it up.

00:49:20Why is Madam Willems always picking on me?

00:49:23Madam Willems already showed me mercy by not punishing for the theft last time.

00:49:27All she asked was for you to collect the morning dew.

00:49:29You should be grateful.

00:49:30The pendant wasn't stolen at all.

00:49:31Stop falsely accusing me.

00:49:33Not stolen?

00:49:33Are you saying his majesty gave it to you himself?

00:49:45The night air is damped with dew.

00:49:47I'm going inside to get my own blanket.

00:49:48Is that not allowed?

00:49:50What arrogance.

00:49:51This is the Imperial Palace.

00:49:52There's no such thing as yours or mine.

00:49:54Don't think that just because Madam Willems

00:49:55or you can do whatever you want.

00:49:57Who said you could come in?

00:50:00Move aside.

00:50:08Avalyn.

00:50:11Avalyn.

00:50:12Are you all right?

00:50:14Who did this?

00:50:16Victor Langley, why is he here?

00:50:18Could it be that he is...

00:50:20You want to die?

00:50:21Your majesty!

00:50:24You're the emperor.

00:50:32You're his majesty.

00:50:35Insolent servant!

00:50:39You must never let her discover your true identity.

00:50:42My deepest apologies, your majesty.

00:50:54I merely saw someone injured and acted out of concern.

00:50:59Fortunately, it wasn't his majesty.

00:51:01But has Master Langley been by his majesty's side?

00:51:06Master Langley.

00:51:06What is going on here?

00:51:09Oh, this young guy in here,

00:51:12he made a strike in resemblance to his majesty.

00:51:14I specifically brought him to the palace to interrogate him.

00:51:17Uh-uh.

00:51:18Hey, you, the new one.

00:51:20How can you be so ignorant of the rules?

00:51:21Don't you know you should behave yourself here?

00:51:23I humbly apologize.

00:51:25I acknowledge my error.

00:51:27Madam Langston, I beg your pardon.

00:51:29It's entirely my fault

00:51:30for causing this young officer concern.

00:51:32Even if you understand your error,

00:51:33they'll leave at once.

00:51:44As for you...

00:51:48Fraternizing with the guards is a grave matter.

00:51:50Yet Madam Williams nearly punished her with kneeling.

00:51:53The last time she stole a jade pendant,

00:51:54that incident was also swept under the rug.

00:51:58Tell me,

00:51:58if his majesty knew she had stolen his jade pendant,

00:52:01how do you think he would handle her?

00:52:13I shall inform his majesty at once.

00:52:16It was you who stole his jade pendant.

00:52:18Let us see if he will still let you off so easily.

00:52:20Ah!

00:52:22Ah, my face!

00:52:24My face!

00:52:25Ah, my face!

00:52:27Ah!

00:52:28Ah!

00:52:29You foolish serpent!

00:52:30What have you put in this bowl?

00:52:32I...

00:52:33I obtained a recipe from a tallist who claimed

00:52:35they could enhance one's beauty when consumed.

00:52:40I only wished to do what was best for Madam Williams,

00:52:43which is why I acted so foolishly.

00:52:45How dare you serve something of unknown origin to ma'am

00:52:48if this rash on her face does not fade?

00:52:51How will you atone for this?

00:52:53Madam!

00:52:53Guards!

00:52:54Drag her away!

00:52:55And sell her to a slave trader!

00:52:57Oh, Madam Williams!

00:52:58Have mercy!

00:52:59Madam!

00:52:59Have mercy!

00:53:00Please!

00:53:01Madam!

00:53:02Madam, have mercy!

00:53:04Madam!

00:53:06Madam!

00:53:09May I be permitted to try?

00:53:11You?

00:53:14You?

00:53:14I have studied medical texts

00:53:16and I can prepare herbal remedy

00:53:18that might alleviate the rash on your face.

00:53:25If...

00:53:25If my methods prove effective,

00:53:29I beg you, Madam,

00:53:31to spare Isabella's life.

00:53:32His Majesty has not paid me attention

00:53:44for a long time.

00:53:46Yet I hear

00:53:47he has recently been visiting

00:53:48Imperial Household Bureau.

00:53:50Tell me who could be

00:53:51in the Imperial Household Bureau

00:53:52to capture His Majesty's interest so deeply.

00:53:55I don't know!

00:53:56I know nothing!

00:53:57Speak!

00:53:58I remember now!

00:54:03There is indeed someone

00:54:04who dares to do such a thing!

00:54:06Oh?

00:54:17It may not look appealing,

00:54:19but it is true

00:54:20that the rash has faded somewhat.

00:54:24It seems

00:54:25you do have some skill.

00:54:26Thank you for your praise, Madam.

00:54:29Madam,

00:54:30you need to only wait

00:54:31six more hours

00:54:32and the rash

00:54:33will completely disappear.

00:54:46Eh?

00:54:52What are you trying to do now?

00:54:56If it weren't for you today,

00:55:03I might have already

00:55:04been taken away.

00:55:06As for what happened

00:55:07before,

00:55:07I owe you an apology.

00:55:09I will accept

00:55:09any punishment

00:55:10or scolding you see fit.

00:55:19Why would I scold you?

00:55:20Sir, you're willing to forgive me?

00:55:27You're not entirely a bad person.

00:55:30It's just that your words

00:55:32can be utterly vicious.

00:55:42Let's go.

00:55:42Her majesty.

00:55:43Her majesty.

00:55:48I believe that

00:55:49his majesty's insistence

00:55:51on making Lady Evelyn

00:55:52the empress

00:55:52does not seem like

00:55:53a mere impulse.

00:55:55Lady Evelyn

00:55:56truly possesses

00:55:57remarkable qualities.

00:56:00I'll see you to chestnut cake.

00:56:02It was her!

00:56:03It was you

00:56:13who seduced

00:56:13his majesty.

00:56:17With us stuck

00:56:18the face of yours.

00:56:19No wonder

00:56:19you can't stay

00:56:20out of trouble.

00:56:21His majesty

00:56:22finding a bride

00:56:22outside the palace

00:56:23is moving.

00:56:23But when did

00:56:25your lowly servants

00:56:26dare to entertain

00:56:27such wicked thoughts?

00:56:29When did Evelyn

00:56:29ever seduce

00:56:30his majesty?

00:56:31Isabella,

00:56:31have you forgotten

00:56:32how much we suffered

00:56:33because of her?

00:56:34Evelyn never once

00:56:34provoked me intentionally.

00:56:35It was you

00:56:36who kept picking

00:56:37fights deliberately.

00:56:39Isabella!

00:56:41Do you even know

00:56:42who I am?

00:56:43How dare you act

00:56:43so insolently

00:56:44in my presence?

00:56:46Susan.

00:56:50Wait!

00:56:51The person

00:56:52standing before you

00:56:53is Lady Caldwell

00:56:54daughter of Chancellor

00:56:55Caldwell.

00:56:55She's the one

00:56:56the Empress

00:56:56Dodgerager

00:56:57has chosen

00:56:58to be Empress.

00:56:59What a fool.

00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell

00:57:00is the esteemed

00:57:01daughter of the

00:57:01Chancellor

00:57:02surely you are

00:57:03a reasonable person.

00:57:04We have never

00:57:04even met

00:57:05his majesty.

00:57:05So how could

00:57:06there be any

00:57:06talk of seduction?

00:57:07I beg you

00:57:08Lady Caldwell

00:57:08spare me.

00:57:10I heard from

00:57:10Eleanor

00:57:11that you not

00:57:11only seduced

00:57:12his majesty

00:57:13but also

00:57:14entangled

00:57:14yourself

00:57:14with the guards.

00:57:15That face

00:57:16of yours

00:57:16is too

00:57:17dangerous

00:57:17to keep

00:57:18her.
