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!
00:00:26Murder!
00:00:27Murder!
00:00:28ное organ
00:00:40Sister...
00:00:43Why-
00:00:43Don't call me sister!
00:00:45You 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 Adrian Montag caught my bridal bow three years ago!
00:00:56This thing being over is nothing but an illusion.
00:01:03If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.
00:01:26Master, 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.
00:02:01Sister, please let me go first.
00:02:05In my past life, Josephine insists that I go first.
00:02:10Feigning modesty and humility.
00:02:12Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.
00:02:21Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me!
00:02:23Lady 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.
00:02:50Three 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 going to suffer a lot in the evil Montague family.
00:03:05Great, great, 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.
00:03:36That is...
00:03:42Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:03:47Master, if the Empress Doward you find, so you're dressed like this.
00:03:51Mother's been always pressing me.
00:03:53I 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 must darling, sir.
00:04:02Let's have a look.
00:04:04In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal bull.
00:04:08I 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.
00:04:21Evelyn, now it's your turn.
00:04:23And you better aim as close as Josephine.
00:04:26Mother, 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.
00:04:41Powerful 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 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.
00:05:33Do 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.
00:05:56Who 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?
00:06:09Let's discard it!
00:06:11I'm dressed in such rags.
00:06:13She won't agree.
00:06:17Sister, why are you running?
00:06:19You 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.
00:07:10With all present as my witnesses today,
00:07:14I, Evelyn Sterling,
00:07:16willing 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 a certainty.
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.
00:07:48We 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,
00:08:13he may be in rags now,
00:08:15but I can see his humility
00:08:16and good manner.
00:08:18He's gonna make a difference, maybe.
00:08:20You are...
00:08:20Rule is rule.
00:08:23You're not eating your words,
00:08:25are you, sir?
00:08:25Indeed.
00:08:26If he refuses,
00:08:28that'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.
00:08:42I 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.
00:09:01You should worry about yourself.
00:09:04Life with the Montague's
00:09:05is not as easy as you imagine.
00:09:08Hmph!
00:09:12In three days,
00:09:22remember to come to propose.
00:09:23It's her or Mother's pressing,
00:09:26so I might as well...
00:09:27Alright!
00:09:28I'll be there.
00:09:34Today,
00:09:35the second daughter
00:09:35of the Silent Family
00:09:36has 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 salary
00:09:49is 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 Sterling 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.
00:10:02It'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
00:10:32to my honor,
00:10:33father,
00:10:33and 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
00:10:44as an honor
00:10:45to the Sterling family.
00:10:49Sister,
00:10:51the 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?
00:10:59I,
00:11:04your humble son-in-law,
00:11:05greet my honored
00:11:06father-in-law.
00:11:12My lady.
00:11:17My lady.
00:11:18Are you here
00:11:19to beg for 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.
00:11:27Just 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?
00:11:53Sir,
00:11:54Master,
00:11:55do not be anchored.
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.
00:12:13This is the...
00:12:14Congratulations,
00:12:18Master Sterling.
00:12:19Your son-in-law
00:12:20is truly an exceptional man.
00:12:21Many 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.
00:12:34On such a big day,
00:12:35will you have the bride
00:12:36walk all 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.
00:12:51Bow 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?
00:13:13Bow to the elders.
00:13:20A shabby place like this.
00:13:21Is it even fit for living?
00:13:23I just didn't want you
00:13:24to blow your cover.
00:13:25And bow to each other
00:13:27as husband and wife.
00:13:28The ceremony is complete!
00:13:36My lady,
00:13:39I have put you
00:13:40through hardship
00:13:40having a life with me
00:13:42in such a shabby place.
00:13:43Not at all.
00:13:45I 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.
00:14:20I will cherish it well.
00:14:26You're up.
00:14:49Breakfast is ready.
00:14:50For you.
00:14:51Hey.
00:14:55Where are you going?
00:14:57Today is the wife's
00:14:58homecoming day.
00:14:59I made telemeds
00:15:00for my parents,
00:15:01but they're not quite 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.
00:15:56Hmm.
00:15:56Speak.
00:16:09What happened?
00:16:10The Empress Dowager
00:16:10distressed over
00:16:11your majesty's sense
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.
00:16:26Father.
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...
00:17:17Screw you,
00:17:19Adrian.
00:17:19Went drinking
00:17:20with corsets
00:17:21on our wedding
00:17:21night and now
00:17:22everyone knows
00:17:23we are utterly
00:17:24humiliating me.
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
00:17:37alone.
00:17:37How can you
00:17:38still have the
00:17:38face to come
00:17:39back?
00:17:39What does
00:17:40your husband
00:17:40do all day,
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 beggar
00:17:48is probably begging
00:17:49in the streets
00:17:50right now.
00:17:51How could he
00:17:51possibly compare
00:17:52to my husband?
00:17:54Father-in-law,
00:17:56your humble son-in-law
00:17:57has brought a
00:17:57small gift.
00:18:03Our dear
00:18:04Josephine has
00:18:05truly found
00:18:05herself a fine
00:18:06husband.
00:18:07For our daughter
00:18:07to marry such
00:18:08a fine gentleman,
00:18:09it must be the
00:18:10blessing she has
00:18:10earned over
00:18:11eight lifetimes.
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
00:18:20come back empty-handed
00:18:21on your
00:18:21homecoming 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
00:18:29even afford
00:18:30a proper
00:18:31homecoming gift?
00:18:38Father,
00:18:40mother,
00:18:40these are the
00:18:41two protective
00:18:41telemes I made
00:18:42for you by hand.
00:18:43a blessing
00:18:43to you both.
00:18:44Wishing you
00:18:44peace and prosperity.
00:18:47Get out!
00:18:51What a
00:18:52disgrace!
00:18:53Sister,
00:18:54is this truly
00:18:55what you've
00:18:56brought?
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.
00:19:03So her gift
00:19:03befits her
00:19:04status perfectly.
00:19:05All right.
00:19:08She has
00:19:09married a beggar.
00:19:10What else
00:19:10could we expect
00:19:11from her?
00:19:18Master,
00:19:18madam,
00:19:19someone from the
00:19:19palace has
00:19:20arrived with gifts.
00:19:21They say they are
00:19:21the homecoming
00:19:22gifts from Lady
00:19:22Evelyn.
00:19:27Master Sterling,
00:19:28who exactly
00:19:28has your
00:19:29eldest daughter
00:19:30married a mountain
00:19:30in ability.
00:19:31Even the palace
00:19:31saw fit to have
00:19:32me personally
00:19:33deliver these gifts
00:19:33to you.
00:19:34You must hold
00:19:34great influence
00:19:35indeed.
00:19:36These from the
00:19:36palace?
00:19:37Then it must be
00:19:38from his majesty
00:19:38himself.
00:19:39It was personally
00:19:40arranged by the
00:19:41chief eunuch at
00:19:41his majesty's side.
00:19:42He said,
00:19:43for the Sterling
00:19:44family's
00:19:45eldest daughter.
00:19:48Mr. Ashford,
00:19:52you must be
00:19:53mistaken.
00:19:54All of
00:19:54Highgate knows
00:19:55that Evelyn
00:19:56married a beggar.
00:19:58How could she
00:19:59possibly have
00:20:00ties to 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 Montague.
00:20:10Indeed.
00:20:11In this world,
00:20:12those seeking
00:20:13favor with the
00:20:14Montague family
00:20:14are countless.
00:20:16Even those
00:20:16in the palace
00:20:16are paying
00:20:17their respects.
00:20:17father-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 at
00:20:25the grandeur
00:20:26of her homecoming.
00:20:27Such lavish
00:20:28gifts.
00:20:29Our Sterling
00:20:29family is truly
00:20:30honored beyond
00:20:31measure.
00:20:33The gifts
00:20:34have been
00:20:35delivered.
00:20:35I shall take
00:20:36my leave.
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 not
00:20:47feel ashamed?
00:20:48It's not
00:20:49about the
00:20:49quality of gifts,
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.
00:20:54I've poured
00:20:54my heart
00:20:55and effort
00:20:55into raising
00:20:56you,
00:20:56and yet,
00:20:56not only
00:20:57did you
00:20:57marry a beggar,
00:20:58but you even
00:20:58bring back
00:20:59these worthless
00:20:59rags to
00:21:00disgrace me.
00:21:01The Sterling
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
00:21:06married Lucas,
00:21:07you feel
00:21:07justified to
00:21:08humiliate me
00:21:09like this.
00:21:09Josephine
00:21:10acts in the
00:21:10best interest
00:21:11of the Sterling
00:21:11family,
00:21:12unlike you
00:21:12who married
00:21:13a beggar,
00:21:14bringing
00:21:14disgrace upon
00:21:15us all.
00:21:17Disgrace?
00:21:19It's only
00:21:19because Josephine
00:21:20married into
00:21:21wealth that
00:21:22you so readily
00:21:23indulge her.
00:21:24Insolent,
00:21:24child,
00:21:25such outrageous
00:21:26defiance.
00:21:26Who has put
00:21:27these ideas
00:21:28in your head?
00:21:28Is it not the
00:21:29truth?
00:21:31In your eyes,
00:21:33a daughter is
00:21:34nothing more
00:21:34than a pawn to
00:21:35secure power
00:21:36and favor?
00:21:36outrageous!
00:21:38How dare
00:21:39you speak
00:21:40to your
00:21:40father in
00:21:41such a
00:21:41manner?
00:21:45A dragon
00:21:46jade pendant?
00:21:49Outrageous!
00:21:51And now,
00:21:52I must
00:21:52inform
00:21:52his majesty.
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 steal
00:22:02it,
00:22:02sister?
00:22:04That is
00:22:04from Lucas.
00:22:05Give it
00:22:05back!
00:22:06That
00:22:08wretched
00:22:08beggar?
00:22:09He will
00:22:10never
00:22:10possess
00:22:11such
00:22:11a fine
00:22:12pendant.
00:22:12He must
00:22:13have
00:22:13stolen
00:22:13it
00:22:14from
00:22:14somewhere.
00:22:15Would
00:22:15right have
00:22:15you to
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 like
00:22:19you,
00:22:19but you
00:22:19believe
00:22:20that
00:22:20possessing
00:22:20a jade
00:22:20pendant
00:22:21is a
00:22:21rightful
00:22:21due,
00:22:22yet Lucas
00:22:22is not
00:22:22worthy
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
00:22:28want
00:22:29the
00:22:29pendant?
00:22:29Very
00:22:30well,
00:22:30but you
00:22:31must
00:22:31sever
00:22:31all

00:22:40truly
00:22:40indulge

00:55:42her majesty
00:55:47i believe
00:55:49that his majesty's insistence on making lady evelyn the empress
00:55:52does not seem like a mere impulse
00:55:54lady evelyn truly possesses remarkable qualities
00:55:58let's see you to chestnut cake
00:56:01it was her
00:56:03it was you who seduced his majesty

00:56:20his majesty's finding a bride outside the palace
00:56:23but when did your lowly servants

00:57:05so how could there be any talk of seduction i beg you lady caldwell spare me
00:57:09i heard from eleanor that you not only seduced his majesty
00:57:13but also entangled yourself with the guards
00:57:15that face of yours is too dangerous to keep
00:57:18stop
00:57:24stop
00:57:34the imperial household bureau is part of the harem
00:57:45since when is it your place to interfere

00:58:33a 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

00:58:53as to seek death

00:58:54lady caldwell
00:58:55the inner court is under the jurisdiction of his majesty

00:59:52and beg your majesty to visit and save evelyn sterling
00:59:54what did you say
00:59:55evelyn's in danger
00:59:57What are you doing?
01:00:10It was me who offended Lady Cabell, but I did not wish for him to suffer punishment on my account.
01:00:17Since you are so eager to play the hero, I shall grant your wish today.
01:00:21Enough!
01:00:22Anna Caldwell, Her Majesty advises you not to go too far, otherwise...
01:00:26You called yourself Her Majesty again? You reckless wretch!
01:00:29Today, I shall teach you the rules on behalf of the Empress Dowager!
01:00:32Anna Caldwell!
01:00:35Do you know who you are about to whip?
01:00:38Your Majesty...
01:00:39I greet the Empress Dowager!
01:00:44I greet Her Majesty...
01:00:46The Empress Dowager?
01:00:48How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:50How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:58How is this possible?
01:01:00Her Majesty was merely testing you, but she never expected you to be so insolent.
01:01:05How dare you overstep and offend Her Majesty herself!
01:01:09Your Majesty, this humble subject admits her fault!
01:01:13I failed to recognize that you are the Empress Dowager.
01:01:15I beg Your Majesty for forgiveness!
01:01:17I beg the Emperor for mercy!
01:01:19The Emperor...
01:01:24This humble official believes this matters are of great importance.
01:01:27It concerns the dignity of the Empress Dowager.
01:01:29I implore Your Majesty to carefully consider the matter.
01:01:37Exactly.
01:01:38How could you dare to offend the Empress Dowager?
01:01:42Admit your fault at once!
01:01:43But this humble subject admits my fault.
01:01:46Your Majesty, it was this wretched maid.
01:01:48She told me to seduce His Majesty.
01:01:52And this is why I lost my composure.
01:01:54Lady Caldwell, it was clear to you!
01:01:56Simon, if it weren't for your manipulation,
01:01:57how could I have spoken so recklessly before the Empress Dowager?
01:02:00The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble.
01:02:04Take her away and sell her at once!
01:02:06The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble.
01:02:10Take her away and sell her at once!
01:02:11Your Majesty, have mercy!
01:02:13I did not spread rumors!
01:02:14I saw Evelyn flirting with the guards!
01:02:16I truly did not spread rumors!
01:02:18Your Majesty!
01:02:19I beg Your Majesty!
01:02:20You are the eldest daughter of the Sturdy Camper!
01:02:22How dare you!
01:02:22Anna Caldwell, I always believed you to be a kind-hearted,
01:02:26yet I never expected you to be ruthless.
01:02:28You've overstepped your place and still dare to dream of becoming Empress.
01:02:31You are sentenced to one year in the Office of Discipline to reflect on your actions.
01:02:34This Office of Discipline...
01:02:35No, Your Majesty!
01:02:37This humble subject admits her fault!
01:02:38Your Majesty, please spare me!
01:02:39I do not want to get to the Office of Discipline!
01:02:43I have questions for you.
01:02:45Where is Her Majesty taking them?
01:03:03Evelyn!
01:03:05Lucas!
01:03:06Did the Empress daughter punish you?
01:03:08Of course not!
01:03:09Her Majesty wished to discuss the Spring Blossom Banquet with me!
01:03:12That's a relief!
01:03:13Evelyn!
01:03:17Evelyn has passed the test!
01:03:18Wonderful!
01:03:19I will reveal my identity to her and make her my Empress!
01:03:23There is no need to rush the coronation.
01:03:25The Ministry of Rights is preparing for the Spring Blossom Banquet next month.
01:03:29They may not have enough resources to manage both.
01:03:32Moreover, this matter is too sudden.
01:03:35I'm concerned the other Ministers may object.
01:03:37Mother, why not let Evelyn organize the Spring Blossom Banquet?
01:03:41If she can manage this banquet, it will not only prove her capability, but also make her coronation more acceptable to everyone.
01:03:48Her Majesty wants you to take charge of the Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:03:51Me?
01:03:52I don't know how to organize it.
01:03:58Don't worry.
01:03:59Trust your abilities.
01:04:00You shall triumph.
01:04:01I'll also assist you behind the scenes.
01:04:07Alright.
01:04:08Get moving, all of you.
01:04:17If anyone dares to slack off, my whip shows no mercy.
01:04:20Useless fool!
01:04:27Do you still think you're a pampered young lady?
01:04:29Huh?
01:04:30Once you're in the office of discipline, no one gets to laze around.
01:04:38Evelyn Sterling, this is all your fault!
01:04:43Get it!
01:04:44Don't touch me!
01:04:45I'm the daughter of Chancellor Gladwell!
01:04:47But I better show some respect!
01:04:50The daughter of Chancellor Caldwell!
01:04:56In my past life, Adrian Montauk was promoted by the Empress Elwiger during the Spring Blossom Banquet!
01:05:01If I can escape this wretched place, and find a way to bring Adrian to the Spring Blossom Banquet, I can surely turn things around.
01:05:14What a wretched place!
01:05:16They expect me, a lady, to wash my clothes myself?
01:05:20Where did this lowly maid come from?
01:05:23I...
01:05:24Lady, I have an urgent request.
01:05:29When?
01:05:29Why should I help you?
01:05:30I am a noble bird.
01:05:32Were it not for this temporary misfortune, you wouldn't even be worthy to speak to me.
01:05:38My elder sister, Evelyn Sterling, is the reason I was in prison here!
01:05:45If I can escape, I shall be forever indebted to you.
01:05:50Evelyn Sterling...
01:05:51Not bad.
01:05:57The banquet itinerary is clear and well-structured.
01:06:00It is evident that much effort was put into it.
01:06:02And trusting you at the banquet's organization was indeed a wide choice.
01:06:06Many thanks for your majesty's praise.
01:06:08Your majesty!
01:06:09Terrible news!
01:06:10The Office of Discipline is on fire!
01:06:11What?
01:06:12Sir, what is the situation inside?
01:06:22The fire has engulfed the entire rear courtyard.
01:06:23Nearly half the people couldn't make it out.
01:06:26Anna Caldwell.
01:06:33Your majesty!
01:06:34This humble subject has come to realize my mistakes.
01:06:43I beg you to spare me from this punishment.
01:06:46The Office of Discipline is a place I cannot enjoy even for a single day longer.
01:06:49As long as you're alive, at least this allows me to account for your well-being to your father.
01:06:54Enough!
01:06:55With your temperament, staying in the Office of Discipline would serve no purpose.
01:06:58Next month, you shall be the one to marry into Lior Empire.
01:07:02What?
01:07:03I'm married to life.
01:07:05What?
01:07:06Are you unwilling?
01:07:07Or would you prefer to continue staying in the Office of Discipline?
01:07:12No.
01:07:14This humble subject humbly obeys your majesty's decree.
01:07:18I shall depart for the marriage alliance next month.
01:07:23However, I have an impertinent request.
01:07:26I was able to escape this calamity.
01:07:28Thanks to Josephine Sterling risking her life to save,
01:07:31I dare to ask that your majesty release Josephine Sterling from the Office of Discipline.
01:07:35I pay your respects to your majesty.
01:07:37I pay your respects to your majesty.
01:07:41I remember.
01:07:42Josephine is your sister.
01:07:45Tell me,
01:07:47how should I reward her?
01:07:49Empress Dowager,
01:07:53we were never close since childhood.
01:07:56Our bond is not strong.
01:07:57I don't get a say in this.
01:08:01Since you have agreed to the marriage alliance,
01:08:03then so be it.
01:08:04Let's go back.
01:08:05Thank you for your grace.
01:08:09Thank you for your grace.
01:08:18Evelyn Sterling,
01:08:20I thought you had sword height already.
01:08:24Turns out,
01:08:25you're still that low.
01:08:27You've ruined our parents and montags.
01:08:29And also got me thrown into the Office of Discipline.
01:08:32What about that?
01:08:34I will make sure you pay it.
01:08:46Edmund,
01:08:47let me out, please.
01:08:49This is driving me crazy.
01:08:55You don't get to complain.
01:08:57If it weren't for you and Josephine,
01:08:59two fools,
01:09:00I wouldn't have offended his majesty
01:09:02and lost my position.
01:09:04It's all Josephine's fault.
01:09:08Husband!
01:09:10Why are you back?
01:09:13The Empress Dowager pardoned me.
01:09:15I'm released from Office of Discipline.
01:09:17After everything you put us through,
01:09:20you still have the guts to come back?
01:09:22Edmund,
01:09:23it's all because Evelyn.
01:09:25Instead of blaming each other here,
01:09:27you should think how to get back at her.
01:09:30Get back at her?
01:09:32She's like royalty now.
01:09:34How to get back at her, huh?
01:09:36I saw her once at the Office of Discipline.
01:09:40She was wearing a lonely palace maid's uniform.
01:09:43I don't think she's royal.
01:09:45A palace maid?
01:09:47Could it be that
01:09:48His Majesty married her on a whim?
01:09:50Totally.
01:09:51If His Majesty really liked her,
01:09:53why would she be wearing that uniform?
01:09:54Spring Blossom Banquet is coming.
01:09:58All the novels
01:09:59will be present then.
01:10:01It's the perfect opportunity.
01:10:04Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:10:05We're invited too.
01:10:07So I can go then?
01:10:11What are you scheming this time?
01:10:12Don't worry.
01:10:17At the banquet,
01:10:18I'll impress everyone.
01:10:20As long as I win
01:10:21the Empress Dowager's favor,
01:10:22our family will rise again.
01:10:24It's gonna be all nobles and high officials.
01:10:48Check everything thoroughly.
01:10:50You cannot afford any mistakes.
01:10:51Oh, stop worrying.
01:10:56You've confirmed every detail
01:10:57multiple times already.
01:10:59There won't be any problems.
01:11:00Let's hope so.
01:11:03Avalyn.
01:11:13Avalyn.
01:11:14Hmm?
01:11:14If you like these pastries,
01:11:16I can get you more.
01:11:16Hmm.
01:11:17Hmm.
01:11:18Hmm.
01:11:18Hmm.
01:11:19Hmm.
01:11:19Hmm.
01:11:20Hmm.
01:11:20Hmm.
01:11:21I'm glad this is a remote area
01:11:23with no patrols.
01:11:25Otherwise,
01:11:26I can't meet like this.
01:11:35Avalyn.
01:11:37Hmm?
01:11:38Once the banquet ends,
01:11:40wait for me here.
01:11:41I got something to tell you.
01:11:43All right.
01:11:44I'll wait for you here.
01:11:45I'll wait for you here.
01:11:53Husband!
01:11:54Look over there!
01:11:59Avalyn!
01:12:00And a palace guard!
01:12:01Oh, right.
01:12:02Oh, right.
01:12:06You're on duty today.
01:12:08Let's hurry back.
01:12:11Remember,
01:12:12wait for me here.
01:12:13Okay.
01:12:15Take these.
01:12:19Hey,
01:12:20you really can't go a moment without a man.
01:12:23Just got tossed aside by his majesty,
01:12:26and now,
01:12:27you're ready with the guard.
01:12:28This is the Imperial Palace,
01:12:40not your place,
01:12:41all right?
01:12:41Everything you do here is washed by his majesty
01:12:44in the Empress Gouger.
01:12:45You were just released.
01:12:47Have you learned your lesson?
01:12:48My husband and I were invited here
01:12:51as honored guests for the banquet.
01:12:53You're nothing but a maid.
01:12:54If you serve us well,
01:12:57I may reward you.
01:12:59If not,
01:13:00you'll get kicked out.
01:13:03You were lucky to have got away last time.
01:13:06No one can protect you
01:13:08this time.
01:13:10What do you mean?
01:13:12I want to destroy you
01:13:14from head to toe.
01:13:16Greetings, Empress Dowager.
01:13:18Greetings, Empress Dowager.
01:13:30Evelyn.
01:13:32Preparing the banquet must be exhausting.
01:13:35Once it is over,
01:13:36I will reward you properly.
01:13:38It's just my duty.
01:13:39Thanks for your grace.
01:13:42Your Highness,
01:13:43I have something to say.
01:13:44Speak.
01:13:45I wish to report
01:13:47Evelyn's improper relationship
01:13:49with the guard.
01:13:52Oh?
01:13:53I saw it with my own eyes.
01:13:55Evelyn and a guard
01:13:56were extremely intimate.
01:13:58When caught,
01:13:59they tried to cover it up.
01:14:00If they're this bold
01:14:01in broad daylight,
01:14:02who knows what they do in secret?
01:14:05Your Highness,
01:14:07I did have a contact
01:14:08with a guard.
01:14:09But before entering the palace,
01:14:11we already had developed feelings.
01:14:13In the palace,
01:14:13we only met occasionally.
01:14:15There was nothing improper.
01:14:17If you weren't guilty,
01:14:18why did you hurry away
01:14:20in that moment you saw us?
01:14:21This should be punishable by death.
01:14:25Your Highness,
01:14:27I insist on seeing him.
01:14:28If this matter
01:14:29deserves punishment,
01:14:31please spare the guard's life.
01:14:34Since neither of you
01:14:35are innocent,
01:14:36Your Highness,
01:14:37please summon the guard
01:14:39and execute them.
01:14:40Yes, Your Highness,
01:14:41punish them both
01:14:42to uphold palace discipline.
01:14:45You two want me
01:14:46to execute the guard?
01:14:51You two want me
01:14:52to execute the guard?
01:14:56In the palace,
01:14:57it is indeed forbidden
01:14:58for palace maids
01:14:59and guards to mingle.
01:15:01But Evelyn,
01:15:02for organizing the banquet,
01:15:04put in great effort.
01:15:05She's redeemed herself.
01:15:06I have decided
01:15:07to spare her from punishment.
01:15:09Bye!
01:15:09Evelyn,
01:15:10lead me to the banquet site.
01:15:12Yes.
01:15:25Farewell, Your Highness.
01:15:28She escaped again.
01:15:29Why is she always so lucky?
01:15:32First the Emperor
01:15:33protected her
01:15:34and now the Emperor's dowager.
01:15:35Even she was entrusted
01:15:36with the whole banquet?
01:15:38Since she's in charge
01:15:39of the banquet,
01:15:40we can just...
01:15:42Your Majesty,
01:15:50the banquet is that way.
01:15:51Where are you going?
01:15:52It's about to begin.
01:15:53You'll be late.
01:15:54I've thought it over.
01:15:55I should let her know
01:15:56the truth before the banquet.
01:15:58Go tell Evelyn
01:15:59to meet me
01:16:00where we were before.
01:16:04Eunuch Langley.
01:16:05Come here.
01:16:06What's going on?
01:16:16We've done a great job
01:16:17this time.
01:16:18They're talking about
01:16:19how good the banquet is.
01:16:20Even an Empress Dowager
01:16:21looks pleased.
01:16:22That's great.
01:16:25Someone is waiting
01:16:25for you in that courtyard.
01:16:26Go.
01:16:28Who is it?
01:16:31Assassins,
01:16:31protect the Empress Dowager!
01:16:33What's going on inside?
01:16:37An assassin disguised
01:16:38as a dancer.
01:16:39Lord Montague took
01:16:40the blow for Her Majesty
01:16:41and the assassin escaped.
01:16:42What?
01:16:44Take her away.
01:16:46What are you doing?
01:16:48There is an assassin.
01:16:49We are arresting Evelyn
01:16:50to the judicial court.
01:16:51What?
01:16:51Me?
01:16:59My lord,
01:17:00he's the suspect.
01:17:01Maid Evelyn Sterling,
01:17:02he's the Prime Minister.
01:17:04So,
01:17:05she's the one
01:17:06who harmed Dana.
01:17:07Chancellor Caldwell,
01:17:09she was in charge
01:17:10of the palace banquet.
01:17:11How dare you?
01:17:13How dare you
01:17:13plan assassination
01:17:14against the Empress Dowager?
01:17:16Are you rebelling?
01:17:18I'm not.
01:17:19I personally verified
01:17:20the identity of everyone.
01:17:22I have no idea
01:17:23where the assassin came from.
01:17:24Of course you don't.
01:17:25Right before the banquet,
01:17:26you were secretly meeting
01:17:27with the guard.
01:17:28You were so affectionate
01:17:29that you just ignore
01:17:30everything around you.
01:17:31What?
01:17:33Is this true?
01:17:34Chancellor,
01:17:35I can testify.
01:17:36That very guard
01:17:37is still at the Ministry of Rights.
01:17:38Somewhat.
01:17:39Bring that guard here.
01:17:40I will get to the bottom of this.
01:17:45Why hasn't Evelyn come yet?
01:17:46I will get to the bottom of this.
01:18:00I will get to the bottom of this.
01:18:00I will get to the bottom of this.
01:18:01I will get to the bottom of this.
01:18:02I will get to the bottom of this.
01:18:02I will get to the bottom of this.
01:18:03Sir, here's the guard.
01:18:04Are you alright, Lucas?
01:18:08Evelyn Sterling,
01:18:09how do you plead?
01:18:10Please investigate Sterling.
01:18:12Since you're an assassin,
01:18:13it's my fault indeed.
01:18:14I only beg you
01:18:15not 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
01:18:21colluded with the assassin,
01:18:23if not for my husband's
01:18:24great reaction.
01:18:25You should have been
01:18:26executed by now.
01:18:28Chancellor Catmull,
01:18:29I really don't know
01:18:30about the assassin.
01:18:31I beg you
01:18:32to grant me some time.
01:18:33I will cover the truth
01:18:34behind this matter.
01:18:35Enough.
01:18:36Made Evelyn Sterling
01:18:38colluded with the guard,
01:18:39disrupted palace order,
01:18:40and put the Empress
01:18:41Starward are in danger.
01:18:42Both of them
01:18:43are to be executed immediately.
01:18:52No.
01:18:53Chesler,
01:18:54we broke over water.
01:18:55Chesler,
01:18:55I'm begging.
01:18:57Chesler.
01:18:57Chesler,
01:18:58don't.
01:18:59Chesler,
01:19:00please.
01:19:01Chesler.
01:19:03Lucas,
01:19:04I'm sorry.
01:19:05It's not my fault.
01:19:06I'm so sorry.
01:19:07I'm so sorry.
01:19:11Stop now.
01:19:26Don't you dare touch her.
01:19:29Your Majesty.
01:19:32Long live your Majesty.
01:19:33Long live your Majesty.
01:19:37Long live your Majesty.
01:19:39How dare you
01:19:43condemning the innocent
01:19:44without discerning
01:19:46right from wrong.
01:19:47This is totally outrageous.
01:19:56You keep going against Evelyn
01:19:57every turn.
01:19:58Today,
01:19:58if I weren't here,
01:20:00you would have gotten your way.
01:20:02Your Majesty,
01:20:03I didn't mean to hurt my sister.
01:20:05Your Majesty,
01:20:06Evelyn was in charge
01:20:07of the banquet
01:20:07that she allowed assassins
01:20:09in to hurt
01:20:09the Empress Dowager.
01:20:11I beg you.
01:20:11Your Majesty issue
01:20:12an order at once
01:20:13to imprison her
01:20:14for further interrogation.
01:20:15Chesler,
01:20:15God was right.
01:20:16If it weren't for
01:20:17my husband's presence today,
01:20:18the Empress Dowager
01:20:19might not have survived.
01:20:20Your Majesty,
01:20:20my life is of no consequence,
01:20:22but Evelyn must be punished.
01:20:26Your Majesty,
01:20:27my 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,
01:20:38you must punish Evelyn.
01:20:40Adrian Montague,
01:20:41are you making decisions for me?
01:20:43The Empress Dowager
01:20:44has been traumatized today.
01:20:46If your Majesty
01:20:46doesn't punish Evelyn,
01:20:47what if others follow her example?
01:20:49The consequences
01:20:50would be unimaginable.
01:20:51I request your Majesty
01:20:52to punish Evelyn.
01:20:53I beg your Majesty
01:20:55to punish Evelyn.
01:20:56Is that so?
01:21:03If I have evidence
01:21:04that Evelyn's innocent,
01:21:05what should you be punished for?
01:21:13Possible.
01:21:15Nicholas,
01:21:16I'm asking you!
01:21:19They're fine.
01:21:20What's wrong about her?
01:21:22I'm willing to receive
01:21:23the same punishment.
01:21:24Okay!
01:21:25Come on!
01:21:27Bring them to me!
01:21:30Your Majesty is wise!
01:21:33Following your orders,
01:21:34I've ready arranged for guards
01:21:36to capture the assassin.
01:21:38Your Majesty,
01:21:39spare me!
01:21:40The assassination
01:21:41was all Josephine and Andrew's idea.
01:21:43I was truly forced into it.
01:21:44Your Majesty,
01:21:45spare me!
01:21:45Your Majesty,
01:21:46please spare me!
01:21:46It's over!
01:21:47It's all over!
01:21:49Guards,
01:21:49take Nicholas away!
01:21:51Your Majesty,
01:21:52I've been
01:21:53serving the royals!
01:21:55for decades!
01:21:56I'm absolutely loyal!
01:21:58Your Majesty,
01:21:59please!
01:21:59Don't do this to me!
01:22:01Your Majesty!
01:22:06Your Majesty!
01:22:07It's for you two.
01:22:09Your Majesty!
01:22:09Your Majesty!
01:22:10This has nothing to do with me!
01:22:11It was all her!
01:22:12She ordered me to do it!
01:22:14You're lying!
01:22:14Your Majesty,
01:22:15I was only jealous of my sister!
01:22:17The assassination
01:22:17was all Adrian's idea!
01:22:19And taking the flu
01:22:20was 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,
01:22:28Joseph Lane Sterling,
01:22:29as masterminds,
01:22:31will be executed right now!
01:22:32Law Catherine in the
01:22:36Judicial Court!
01:22:37Wait for further orders!
01:22:39Your Majesty!
01:22:40Your Majesty!
01:22:41Please give me a chance,
01:22:42Your Majesty!
01:22:43Your Majesty!
01:22:43Your Majesty!
01:22:44I hate you!
01:22:45If that were you,
01:22:47all of this would have been mine!
01:22:48Your love,
01:22:49it's all because of yourself,
01:22:51not me!
01:22:54You brought all of this
01:22:55upon yourself!
01:22:56Evelyn!
01:23:07Hi!
01:23:10So, Your Majesty,
01:23:12what is your real name?
01:23:17Lucian Prescott!
01:23:19Lucian Prescott!
01:23:22Now the criminals
01:23:23have been taken away,
01:23:24Your Majesty and Your Highness!
01:23:27You can finally be together!
