00:08:53Presenting as Grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:09:15Welcome, Your Grace.
00:09:17Lord Benjamin, there's no need for such formalities.
00:09:20We've known each other for a decade now, have we not?
00:09:23Your Grace, it was I who was sending you to the battlefield.
00:09:26I beg for your forgiveness.
00:09:29It was on the battlefield that I earned my honor.
00:09:32You are too kind, Your Grace.
00:09:33I've returned to find my family.
00:09:35Well, please tell me who they are and where they reside.
00:09:38I shall have them brought here at once.
00:09:40My memories are faint, clouded by the injury I sustained during the war.
00:09:45But my mother, she wore a pendant like this.
00:09:48May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:09:58Could this be me?
00:10:09Find who this belongs to.
00:10:11I will see to this personally.
00:10:16Mom, where are you?
00:10:19The Duke of Mercia has come to the baron's manor.
00:10:25The king must hold him in high regard.
00:10:28They say he's looking for his family.
00:10:30Who could be so lucky as to be the Duke's relative?
00:10:34Pardon to interrupt, but if he's here visiting his family, then there's a chance that possibly the Duke is my author.
00:10:43Don't be stupid.
00:10:48This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.
00:10:52How could a man like that be your son?
00:10:55Your son probably died on the battlefield.
00:10:58Stop being delusional.
00:11:01No.
00:11:03I must see the Duke.
00:11:06Have you lost your mind?
00:11:08I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.
00:11:27Arthur.
00:11:28Arthur.
00:11:38Did someone call my name just now?
00:11:41Your Grace, it's probably just the wind playing tricks.
00:11:44No one here would dare to speak your name so boldly.
00:11:50What were you thinking?
00:11:53Your actions will bring my family down with you.
00:11:57Robert just became butler.
00:11:58I won't have you ruining things for him.
00:12:02I swear, that was my son.
00:12:04That was Arthur.
00:12:05You have truly gone mad.
00:12:08That was the Duke.
00:12:09The second most important man in the entire kingdom.
00:12:13How could a man of such standing be your son?
00:12:17He looked just like him.
00:12:20I swear that...
00:12:22Ow!
00:12:22Ow!
00:12:23Do you mean to get us all hung?
00:12:26Calling the Duke your son?
00:12:28What an insult to that fine gentleman.
00:12:32Please, just let me speak to him.
00:12:35Let me show him this.
00:12:38Robert!
00:12:51Robert!
00:12:51Robert, don't!
00:12:53Not while the Duke is here.
00:12:55Robert!
00:12:57What are you doing to my mother?
00:12:59Anna!
00:13:01Give me that back.
00:13:02I needed to find Arthur.
00:13:04Worthless piece of junk.
00:13:06Robert, we're family.
00:13:08We're supposed to help each other.
00:13:10But you're not...
00:13:12Family?
00:13:13It's bad enough that we share the same blood.
00:13:17My son has risen up through the ranks.
00:13:20While yours only grows poorer and poorer.
00:13:23It's pathetic, really.
00:13:26You know what?
00:13:27I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur.
00:13:31And you...
00:13:32You never even planned to find Arthur.
00:13:37You never even thought to look for him.
00:13:39You liar!
00:13:41You cheat!
00:13:42Give me back my coin!
00:13:44Don't touch me with your filthy hands!
00:13:47In this, say goodbye to your son.
00:13:54No!
00:13:58Mother, no!
00:14:04Mother, no!
00:14:06No!
00:14:06Come, Mother.
00:14:10Let's go.
00:14:13Oh, Anna, what have I done?
00:14:15We'll never be able to find Arthur enough with this.
00:14:18It's all right.
00:14:18It's all right, Mother.
00:14:19Have you forgotten?
00:14:20I carry one, too.
00:14:23Oh, Anna.
00:14:24Now, if you truly believe the Duke might be our Arthur,
00:14:28I'll see what I can do.
00:14:29I'll see what I can do.
00:14:36Arthur, my brother, could it really be you?
00:14:48Your Grace, my Lord.
00:15:06Oh, forgive me, Your Grace.
00:15:13Useless girl.
00:15:16Your Grace, are you all right?
00:15:18I'm fine, Lord Benjamin.
00:15:20No need to punish her for a simple mistake.
00:15:23Your kindness humbles us all.
00:15:26Well, don't just sit there.
00:15:29Clean yourself up.
00:15:33Why does she seem so familiar?
00:15:36It seems that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:15:42How could Robert do this to you?
00:15:46He beat you.
00:15:49You're his aunt for crying out loud.
00:15:51Oh, Carl.
00:15:53You know your family has always been cruel to us.
00:15:57It's only going to get worse
00:15:58now that Robert is butler to the barium.
00:16:03Mother?
00:16:04Father?
00:16:06This place is so familiar to me.
00:16:10And it's strategic.
00:16:13I'll build the new fort here.
00:16:15See to it that all the families along this road
00:16:17are asked to leave.
00:16:18And compensate them well.
00:16:20I will start the process right away.
00:16:21Mother.
00:16:29Mother.
00:16:30Yeah?
00:16:31What did the Duke say?
00:16:32Did he...
00:16:34Mother.
00:16:37What?
00:16:38I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:16:41No.
00:16:42He does.
00:16:43He does resemble him, yes,
00:16:45but he didn't recognize the necklace.
00:16:48No.
00:16:49Oh, I'm so sorry, but I thought I was him.
00:16:55I wanted to come back and give you the necklace.
00:16:58I know at least you'll sleep easier,
00:17:01knowing this is by your side.
00:17:12Oh, your grace, I dare say you look as handsome as ever.
00:17:17These clothes are much more comfortable.
00:17:25Leave me.
00:17:26I wish to explore the city by myself.
00:17:28See if anything can jog my memory.
00:17:30Yes, your grace.
00:17:40Well, it must be Anna. She must have forgot something.
00:17:44Anna?
00:17:47Yeah.
00:17:53What are you all doing here?
00:17:54Especially after what you did to my wife?
00:17:56Long time no see, brother.
00:17:58Still living in this hovel, huh?
00:18:00Would you like some bread?
00:18:03We were just about to sit down for lunch,
00:18:05so I can offer you a fresh loaf.
00:18:07You call this food?
00:18:09The Baron's dogs wouldn't eat this.
00:18:17But fortune favors the undeserving.
00:18:20Now you'll be able to buy some real food.
00:18:24What do you mean, Laura?
00:18:25What do you mean, Laura?
00:18:26Tell them, Robert!
00:18:27Tell them, Robert!
00:18:28It really is a shack.
00:18:29But luckily it'll be gone soon.
00:18:30Your land has been seized.
00:18:43entire street will be dug up to make way for the new fort to bolster our defenses the order came
00:18:50directly from the duke himself no but you will be well compensated for the trouble

00:50:44drop the matter and i'll let you leave
00:50:51we'll go but best you remember it is the welleslees who called off this engagement

00:52:29don't worry you'll see lady adela this is all very splendid you must introduce us to the duke when he
00:52:49arrives oh mrs moore of course as the baron of stanford my father is very close to the duke it's likely
00:52:56he was the one to recommend john in the first place of course the duke would love to meet you
00:53:02i cannot believe it a noble title lady adela you are simply full of surprises you are the best match
00:53:09for john no doubt about it i mean to ask adela why would someone like the duke and stanford in the
00:53:17first place well stanford is his hometown the king dispatched him here to oversee the building of a new
00:53:23fort the real reason is his parents he was separated from them when he was a child even this banquet i hear
00:53:31is all for them must be good noble people to rear such a fine man like the duke we must make a good
00:53:43how did those peasants get in
00:54:07this banquet i've arranged it all for you
00:54:10i'll introduce you to everyone shortly our third don't just what do you mean for us mother

00:56:13i'm still more noble than a harlot like you you wench i will not let you talk to lady adela like this
00:56:21apologize right now i owe her nothing of the sort she is the one who's courting an engaged man
00:56:27i told your parents and your disgusting beggar of a brother i called off the engagement
