Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Lady Evelyn Sterling from the Montagues, a woman of virtue, diligent and gentle, hereby
00:00:05bestow the title of First Rank Lady of Honor, by Imperial Decree.
00:00:10We humbly thank His Majesty for His grace.
00:00:21Murder!
00:00:22Murder!
00:00:23Duh!
00:00:24Someone's been killed!
00:00:25Someone's been killed!
00:00:27Murder!
00:00:28Murder!
00:00:29Murder!

00:00:52Murder!
00:00:53Murder!
00:00:54Murder!
00:00:55Murder!
00:00:56Murder!
00:00:57Murder!
00:00:58Slamming 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 Asian!
00:02:30Tim, 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 schemed 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 now would 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! Hurry! Hurry!
00:04:01The 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. If 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? It's the Scottish!
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-
00:07:06Lucas Prescott.
00:07:07With all present as my witnesses today.
00:07:14I, Evelyn Sterling.
00:07:16Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband.
00:07:24Are you serious?
00:07:25Huh.
00:07:27Yeah.
00:07:29The ball is in your hands.
00:07:31You wanna... reject 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.
00:07:45We may be poor now, but we can always earn our money.
00:07:50We can work hard.
00:07:52To 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.
00:08:06And your future is ruined.
00:08:08I do not believe that is true.
00:08:10Future won't be decided like that.
00:08:12Lucas.
00:08:13He may be in rags now.
00:08:15But I can see his humility and good manner.
00:08:18He's gonna make a difference maybe.
00:08:20You are...
00:08:22Rule is rule.
00:08:24You're not eating your words, are you sir?
00:08:26Indeed.
00:08:27If he refuses, that's breaking the rules.
00:08:29I'm gonna ruin their reputation.
00:08:31Seems well.
00:08:32She has to marry him.
00:08:33Indeed! Marry him!
00:08:34Marry 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.
00:08:45The matchmaking is concluded.
00:08:47Everyone disperse.
00:08:51Sister.
00:08:53No hard feelings.
00:08:55But marrying a beggar means you will spend your life beneath me.
00:09:00You should worry about yourself.
00:09:03Life with the Montague's is not as easy as you imagine.
00:09:06As easy as you imagine.
00:09:08Hmph!
00:09:16You...
00:09:20In three days, remember 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.
00:09:30Today, the second daughter of the Sarlene family is to be wed.
00:09:37Her dowry includes a pair of gold phoenix hairpins laid with precious gems.
00:09:42Plenty of boats of fine brocade.
00:09:44Three 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.
00:10:02It's the bridegroom.
00:10:03The bridegroom has arrived.
00:10:04Oh, as 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.
00:10:49Sister, the auspicious hour is nearly over. Why has your husband not come for you?
00:10:55Could it be that he's not coming at all?
00:11:01I, 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.
00:11:50Have 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!
00:12:05Carriage!
00:12:13This is the...
00:12:17Congratulations, Master Sterling. Your son-in-law is truly an exceptional man.
00:12:24Many thanks, Deputy Minister. Please come inside.
00:12:27Off to you.
00:12:28Surely you didn't arrive on foot today.
00:12:33On such a big day, will you have the bride walk all the way to your home?
00:12:38Unheard 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.
00:13:35The 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.
00:13:43I actually think it's rather spacious.
00:13:48At least, it shields us from the wind and rain.
00:13:51If we work hard from now on, keep this place tidy,
00:13:55he'll soon feel much more comfortable.
00:13:57At this moment, I have nothing of value to give you.
00:14:00This shade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:14:03I've carried it with me all these years.
00:14:06And now, I'm giving it to you.
00:14:14It's so precious.
00:14:16Are you certain of it?
00:14:20Alright.
00:14:21I will cherish it well.
00:14:22I will cherish it well.
00:14:23I am.
00:14:24You're up.
00:14:49Breakfast is ready.
00:14:50For you.
00:14:54Hi. Where are you going?
00:14:57Today 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.
00:15:05All right. I'll go with you.
00:15:07All right.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:14Greetings, your ma-
00:15:15Greetings, your majesty!
00:15:20Greetings, your majesty!
00:15:21Greetings, your ma-
00:15:22Who are they?
00:15:27The palace is too complicated.
00:15:29Once everything's settled, I'll reveal my identity to Evelyn.
00:15:32They are...
00:15:33They're here for Victor.
00:15:37Yes, yes. I used to serve in the palace. These are all old acquaintances.
00:15:48Evelyn, I'll help Victor to entertain the guests. Will you be all right buying threat on your own?
00:15:55Yes.
00:15:55Speak! What happened?
00:16:10The Empress Dowager distressed over your majesty's presence and suddenly collapsed.
00:16:13What?
00:16:14Victor, stay here and protect your Evelyn. Let'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.
00:16:25Let's go!
00:16:26Father! Mother! Your daughter has returned!
00:16:31Father!
00:16:32Why has sister returned alone?
00:16:39Today is your homecoming day.
00:16:42Sister, why have you returned alone?
00:16:43Are 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.
00:16:59Had 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.
00:17:08That 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-
00:17:16Screw you, Adrian.
00:17:19Went drinking with corsets on our wedding night, and now everyone knows we are utterly humiliating me.
00:17:25Josephine.
00:17:26Father, mother.
00:17:32Greetings to you both.
00:17:34Greetings to you both.
00:17:36You've returned alone.
00:17:37How can you still have the face to come back?
00:17:39What does your husband do all day?
00:17:41Not even accompanying you for your homecoming.
00:17:44Mother, you're thinking too highly of her.
00:17:47That 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.
00:18:02Our 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 eight lifetimes.
00:18:12Unlike someone who chose a beggar as her husband, our sterling family has raised you for so many years,
00:18:19and yet you come back empty-handed on your homecoming day.
00:18:22Indeed, sister. This is my homecoming gift.
00:18:27Have you fallen into such poverty that you cannot even afford a proper homecoming gift?
00:18:38Father, Mother, these are the two protective talamans I made for you by hand.
00:18:43A blessing to you both. Wishing you peace and prosperity.
00:18:45Get out! What a disgrace!
00:18:53Sister, is this truly what you've brought? A few scraps of cloth with embroidery. How dare you present these?
00:19:00Well, she did marry a beggar, so her gift befits her status perfectly.
00:19:05Oh, right. She has married a beggar. What else could we expect from her?
00:19:15Master, Madame, someone from the palace has arrived with gifts. They say they are the homecoming gifts from Lady Evelyn.
00:19:26Master Sirling, who exactly has your eldest daughter married a mountain nobility?
00:19:30Even the palace saw fit to have me personally deliver these gifts to you. You must hold great influence indeed.
00:19:35Gifts from the palace? Then it must be from his majesty himself.
00:19:38It was personally arranged by the chief eunuch at his majesty's side. He said, for the Starling family's eldest daughter.
00:19:47Mr. Ashford, you must be mistaken. All of Highgate knows that Evelyn married a beggar.
00:19:57A beggar? How 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. Father-in-law, please accept with joy.
00:20:21Josephine has married a remarkable husband. Just look at the grandeur of her homecoming. Such lavish gifts.
00:20:28Our Sterling family is truly honored beyond measure.
00:20:33The gifts have been delivered. I shall take my leave.
00:20:36Oh, take care.
00:20:37Take care.
00:20:38Sister, my husband has prepared two sets of homecoming gifts. Seeing all these, do you not feel ashamed?
00:20:48It's not about the quality of gifts, but the sincerity behind them. I 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, but 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.
00:21:08Josephine acts in the best interest of the Sterling family, unlike you who married a beggar bringing disgrace upon us all.
00:21:16Disgrace? It's only because Josephine married into wealth that you've so readily indulged her.
00:21:23Insulin child! Such outrageous defiance! Who has put these ideas in your head?
00:21:28Is it not the truth? In your eyes, a daughter is nothing more than a pawn to secure power and favor.
00:21:36Outrageous! How 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.
00:21:53Give it back to me!
00:21:57This jade pendant looks of fine quality.
00:22:00From where did you steal it, sister?
00:22:03It is from Lucas. Give it back!
00:22:07That wretched beggar? He will never possess such a fine pendant. He must have stolen it from somewhere.
00:22:14Would right have you to make such rash accusations. Lucas may not be of noble birth like you, but you believe that possessing a jade pendant is a rightful due, yet Lucas is not worthy of the same!
00:22:23A worthless beggar's gift, and you treat it like a treasure. How ignorant!
00:22:28You won the pendant? Very well. But you must sever all ties with the Sterlings!
00:22:33You...
00:22:35Father, would you truly indulge Josephine's audacity? Am I not also your daughter?
00:22:45You insisted on marrying a beggar. Bringing shame upon the Sterling family, you are unworthy to be my daughter!
00:22:52On this day forth, I have only one daughter, Josephine!
00:22:55For the rest of my life, I seek only to be with the one who is true of heart. Even if I must live on plain fair, it is better than enduring cold disdain in the Sterlings, since that is the case.
00:23:14Hi, Evelyn Sterling. Severe all ties with the Sterling family. We are here and forth, strangers!
00:23:31All for the sake of a worthless beggar! You would sever ties with us! It is fortunate we never placed our hopes in you!
00:23:51Is that not what Father has always thought of? Why should I remain here only to be an eyesore to him?
00:23:57Hold it!
00:23:59Now that you wish to leave, I fear it is too late!
00:24:03Guards! Bring the burning charcoal from the kitchen! Scatter them across the board!
00:24:09What are you trying to do?
00:24:11Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! Lady Evelyn was humiliated at the Sterling Estate!
00:24:16One's body and soul are bestowed by One's parents. If you wish to sever ties, you must first repay your parents' kindness.
00:24:30My Lady speaks most reasonably. Given your current state, it would be far too much to expect that you present anything of great value.
00:24:37Then you have no choice but to walk barefoot across this bed of burning charcoal.
00:24:40It is pleasing so fiercely. How could anyone survive walking across them? I will not walk.
00:24:50Oh? It seems, dear sister, that you no longer want this Jade Pendant.
00:24:56Stop!
00:25:00Lucas is the only one who has ever treated me well. This Jade Pendant was left to him by his parents.
00:25:06Farewell. I will never allow his heartfelt gift to be trampled a couple. I will walk.
00:25:10I will walk.
00:25:31For the sake of a filthy beggar, you would go to such lengths? You must have lost your mind!
00:25:36For a mere Jade Pendant, a lady born into privilege would willingly walk across burning charcoal.
00:25:43No wonder she was foolish enough to marry a mere beggar.
00:25:46After all, what does a beggar have to his name but worthless trinkets?
00:25:50This Jade Pendant is likely his most treasured possession.
00:25:54No wonder your sister cherishes it so.
00:25:58The Jade Pendant was left to me by my father. I've carried it with me all these years.
00:26:02And now, I'm giving it to you.
00:26:14For me, my lady.
00:26:16Lucas, do not worry. I will reclaim the Jade Pendant.
00:26:21Can you... return the Jade Pendant to me now?
00:26:38You want it?
00:26:40Then crawl over and take it!
00:26:42As long as you crawl over, this Jade Pendant will be yours.
00:26:49The Jade Pendant was left to me by my father. I've carried it with me all these years.
00:26:51Now, Njiao, I'm giving it to you.
00:26:52Alright. I will cherish it well.
00:26:57The jade pendant was left to me of my father. I've carried it with me all these years.
00:27:08Now, I'm giving it to you.
00:27:12All right. I will cherish it well.
00:27:27You claim to cherish your love for that filthy beggar.
00:27:44But if you were disfigured, would your dearest husband still want you?
00:27:50Why are you looking at me like that?
00:27:52I have long told you the fate of a woman who wets a beggar can only be one to be trampled upon at will.
00:28:00You exhaust yourself trying to torment me.
00:28:03But do you truly believe you're getting your way?
00:28:07I want you to spend the rest of your days wallowing in the gutter,
00:28:12watching as I rise to become the most esteemed woman in the world.
00:28:22His majesty has arrived!
00:28:31Who dares to lay a hand on my woman?
00:28:37Evelyn, I'm sorry. I'm late.
00:28:41Just leave.
00:28:43Lucas, I didn't lose your jade pendant.
00:28:47Did they say it was his majesty? How could it be him?
00:28:55That beggar is dressed in such luxurious robes.
00:28:58And those men, are they the imperial guards?
00:29:01Why would they take orders from a beggar?
00:29:02I heard that filthy beggar's brother once served in the palace.
00:29:05Is it natural for him to procure some robes?
00:29:07That wretch beggar has suffered humiliation last time,
00:29:10and now he has come to regain his dignity?
00:29:12Ha! What a joke!
00:29:14A mere beggar, daring to put on an act in the Sterling Estate?
00:29:17Look at the fine husband you've chosen.
00:29:19Useless is one thing, but to be so audacious?
00:29:22As to steal from the imperial palace?
00:29:24If his majesty were to find out, do you really believe you will be spared?
00:29:27Deviant fools, you're doomed!
00:29:32You! What do you think you're doing?
00:29:34Evelyn, come with me.
00:29:36Evelyn, what's wrong?
00:29:42Who did this?
00:29:49Lucas!
00:29:57Yes, it was me! So what?
00:29:58I was only trying to help my dear sister.
00:30:00Who would have thought she would walk barefoot across the burning charcoal?
00:30:04I wonder what she was thinking?
00:30:06Such a fool!
00:30:06Silence!
00:30:07And who do you think you are to dare raise your voice before me?
00:30:11Yes, I'm insulting her, because she married a worthless man.
00:30:15I am a noble lady with the Montag family.
00:30:17You are nothing but insects beneath my feet.
00:30:20Even if I were to kill you here and now, you ought to kneel and sack me for it.
00:30:24Let's see how much longer you can keep up this charade.
00:30:26Guards! Seize this filthy beggar, Evelyn Sterling!
00:30:29Wait.
00:30:33How dare you humiliate my lady!
00:30:37Seize them!
00:30:38Seize them!
00:30:39How dare you!
00:30:43I'm Lady Joseph of the Montag!
00:30:47Husband, save me!
00:30:48You filthy beggar!
00:30:49Guards!
00:30:49Whoever kills him for me, I shall reward him with ten tails of gold.
00:30:56Insulin, wretch!
00:30:57Lord Montague is of royal lineage!
00:30:59Who dare lay a hand on him, you shall make an enemy of the entire Montague family!
00:31:03And what of it? Anyone who dares to harm my lady shall only have one face, death!
00:31:11You filthy beggar, you're taking this act too far!
00:31:14Before I lose my temper, release me at once! I might disappear your life!
00:31:18You've tortured Evelyn to such wretched state!
00:31:20Press their faces!
00:31:23Straight into the burning charcoal!
00:31:27No!
00:31:29No!
00:31:30No!
00:31:30What are you doing?
00:31:31No!
00:31:32Stop!
00:31:32Once the judicial court arrives, you are doomed!
00:31:37All right.
00:31:37My brother is an official of the imperial court.
00:31:39Do you really think you'll walk away alive?
00:31:41I'd like to see if the judicial court would tolerate this.
00:31:47Carry on!
00:31:49Help!
00:31:49No!
00:31:50Help!
00:31:50No!
00:31:51Don't leave!
00:31:52You wretched fool!
00:31:53If you wish to die, don't drag the Stoney family down with you!
00:31:57No!
00:31:58Stop!
00:31:59Brother!
00:32:00Brother, save me!
00:32:10Shh!
00:32:10Who 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.
00:32:24Could it be?
00:32:26Your Majesty!
00:32:29Your Majesty!
00:32:33The Emperor!
00:32:34How could this filthy beggar...
00:32:36Brother!
00:32:37Don't let this filthy beggar fool you!
00:32:38These clothes he's wearing are all stolen from the imperial palace.
00:32:41All these people were bribed by him with a huge sum of money.
00:32:44That's right!
00:32:45You're new to this office.
00:32:46It's normal to get the wrong person, but he really is a filthy beggar.
00:32:49He can't possibly be the Emperor.
00:32:51That's true.
00:32:52The Emperor couldn't possibly be here.
00:32:54Wretched girl, look at the fine husband you've chosen.
00:32:58You've offended Lord Montague.
00:32:59I'll see how you plan to end this.
00:33:01My lord, you must uphold justice for us.
00:33:05This filthy beggar and Evelyn Sterling, they defied human ethics.
00:33:09Even 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, take them to the dungeon of the judicial court.
00:33:18Interrogate them with torture.
00:33:19Wait!
00:33:21What else do you have to say?
00:33:23Since when was this position of Lord Justice Deputy?
00:33:26Yours to assume.
00:33:27You filthy beggar.
00:33:28How could you possibly know about court appointments?
00:33:31My brother was appointed by the Empress Dowager herself.
00:33:34What now?
00:33:34Regret finally sinking in?
00:33:36Even the Empress Dowager was deceived.
00:33:39Your Montague family truly is impressive.
00:33:45Empress Dowager, will you 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?
00:33:56Guards!
00:33:57Your brothers are done.
00:34:01Insolent.
00:34:02How dare you offend the Empress Dowager?
00:34:04Are you trying to get yourself killed?
00:34:05Lord Montague.
00:34:06Please see clearly.
00:34:07Our Sterling family has long severed ties with Evelyn Sterling.
00:34:11Every word she says has nothing to do with us.
00:34:13That's right, my lord.
00:34:14Our Sterling family has always followed the rules.
00:34:17We would never dare speak against the royal family.
00:34:19Please see the truth, my lord.
00:34:21The President and the Royalty is the capital of crime.
00:34:23You must not let them go, my lord.
00:34:24Evelyn Sterling, your dear husband has now committed a heinous crime.
00:34:28No matter who comes today, they cannot save you.
00:34:32I can't.
00:34:33I can't.
00:34:33I can't.
00:34:33I can't.
00:34:33Lucas break up your arms.
00:34:34Sparrows, my lord.
00:34:35He didn't mean to offend.
00:34:39Evelyn!
00:34:44Evelyn.
00:34:44Let's go.
00:34:46How dare you?
00:34:47Trying to run?
00:34:48Guards, stop them.
00:34:49Whoever dares to block us again, kill without mercy.
00:34:52Yes, sir.
00:34:56Trying to escape?
00:34:58It's not that easy.
00:35:04Lucas.
00:35:09Lucas.
00:35:10Lucas.
00:35:10Josephine Sterling, why is your heart so vicious?
00:35:14Lucas 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.
00:35:23Lucas.
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.
00:35:31Lucas.
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?
00:35:38Josephine Sterling.
00:35:42Why won't you just let me go?
00:35:46I have to admit.
00:35:48Sister, you're truly fortunate.
00:35:50Evelyn 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.
00:35:59Josephine.
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.
00:36:08Evelyn.
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 your feelings run so deep.
00:36:22I might as well send you both.
00:36:23To death together.
00:36:26What are you waiting for?
00:36:28Die!
00:36:29Out of what time?
00:36:30The Emperor Stowager has arrived.
00:36:34I'd like to see who dares harm my royal son.
00:36:40He really is the Emperor?
00:36:44He...
00:36:45He really is the Emperor?
00:36:47Evelyn!
00:36:47Evelyn!
00:36:48Imperial physician!
00:36:49Call the Imperial physician quickly!
00:36:51Your Majesty!
00:36:52Victor Langley.
00:36:53I ordered her immediately to send her back for treatment.
00:36:56If anything happens to her, I'll make sure you pay.
00:36:58You're severed her, base.
00:36:59Come, come, come.
00:37:00Hurry!
00:37:03Your Majesty, all members of the Starling family have been arrested.
00:37:06Your Majesty?
00:37:08Your...
00:37:09Your Majesty?
00:37:11What?
00:37:12You called him?
00:37:13Your Majesty!
00:37:14Wasn't he a beggar?
00:37:15Pass down my decree.
00:37:17Sebastian Serding and his family are executed on the spot.
00:37:20Master!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:24Adam and 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!
00:37:38I beg, 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?
00:37:51Impossible!
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 Sterling
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 lighter.
00:38:20The Sterling family is a household of commoners.
00:38:23To execute them all is indeed lacking consideration for the women.
00:38:27I saw that woman was badly injured, my son.
00:38:30You should go tend to her quickly.
00:38:36Huh!
00:38:42Lucas, are you alright?
00:38:51Are you alright?
00:38:52Did you get hurt?
00:38:53I'm fine.
00:38:53Lie down quickly.
00:38:54The 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.
00:39:46She 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.
00:40:16Exiled?
00:40:17Evelyn, from now on, I will protect you.
00:40:25I asked the Empress Dowager for a position,
00:40:27and assigned you to the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:40:29From now on, the two of us will be working in the palace.
00:40:35That's wonderful.
00:40:36When 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.
00:40:47Avalyn, I hope you can forgive me.
00:40:58Avalyn, when I have some free time, I'll come to see you.
00:41:02All right.
00:41:05Greets.
00:41:05Guests should notify us before touring the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:41:20This one here is the steward of the Bureau, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:23If you need anything, just go to her.
00:41:27Greetings, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:28This one here is a newly arrived maid, Evelyn Sterling.
00:41:33In the days to come, please take good care of her, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:37Rest assured, I will take good care of Miss Evelyn.
00:41:40I definitely won't let her do heavy work.
00:41:47Lucas.
00:41:48I came here to work, right?
00:41:51But why does it feel like I'm being treated like a mistress?
00:41:58She...
00:41:58Maybe she's a nice person.
00:42:08Miss Evelyn, please come with me.
00:42:12Go 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 earn Ma'am Langston's favor.
00:42:45She got all the Yeezy's work assigned to you.
00:42:53Hey!
00:43:03Give it back to me!
00:43:07The Dragon Jade Pendant?
00:43:09There's something only His Majesty can wear.
00:43:11Hurry and inform Madam Langston.
00:43:12Someone is stealing!
00:43:13Someone is stealing!
00:43:13Your Majesty, give it back to me, right now!
00:43:28What are you waiting for?
00:43:31Grab her!
00:43:33Everyone, stop right there!
00:43:35Your Grace, the Imperial Household Bureau is such a crude place.
00:43:46You have never come here before.
00:43:47It might harm your noble health.
00:43:49Allow me to announce your arrival.
00:43:51No need.
00:43:52This time, I am disguised as a Bureau Matron,
00:43:54because I want to truly know Evelyn Sterling.
00:43:57She must never learn of my identity.
00:44:00Palace rules are strict.
00:44:10I was only gone for a little while.
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.
00:44:19The one thing most forbidden in the harm is Thee.
00:44:23She feared being exposed and even tried to harm me.
00:44:26Ma'am, you must punish her properly.
00:44:29Ma'am Langston, please let me explain.
00:44:32This isn't what happened.
00:44:33Enough!
00:44:34Hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:44:38The pendant belongs to me.
00:44:41I said, hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:45:00The 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.
00:45:27This 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.
00:45:36Wouldn't that expose us to your identity?
00:45:38No.
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.
00:45:52Thank 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 will be punished according to Palace rules.
00:46:05Yes, Ma'am.
00:46:11Your 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.
00:46:55Tell 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.
00:47:05Evelyn.
00:47:10Evelyn.
00:47:14Lucas.
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.
00:47:32I'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?
00:47:58Uh, 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.
00:48:18Who's there?
00:48:23It's Madam Willems.
00:48:24Hurry up and go.
00:48:24Come let her see you.
00:48:25Tomorrow.
00:48:26I'll come to see you tomorrow again.
00:48:27Madam Willems.
00:48:36All the toilet bowls have been cleaned.
00:48:38Cleaned already?
00:48:40Then go sweep the entire back courtyard.
00:48:46Yes, ma'am.
00:48:48Finally done with everything.
00:48:50Why are you throwing my things?
00:49:04Madam Williams gave orders herself.
00:49:06She said at first light tomorrow, you are to deliver her medicine.
00:49:08Ma'am said the medicine must be boiled with morning dew.
00:49:11Tonight, 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 Williams always picking on me?
00:49:23Madam Williams already showed me mercy by.
00:49:25Not 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.
00:49:32Not stolen?
00:49:33Are you saying His Majesty gave it to you himself?
00:49:35The night air is damned with dew.
00:49:47I'm going inside to get my own blanket.
00:49:48Is that not allowed?
00:49:49What 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 Malin lost
00:49:55so you can do whatever you want.
00:49:58Who said you could come in?
00:50:00Move aside.
00:50:00Avalyn!
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?
00:50:23Your Majesty!
00:50:29You're the Emperor.
00:50:30You're His Majesty.
00:50:35Insolent servant!
00:50:39You must never let her discover your true identity.
00:50:52My deepest apologies, Your Majesty.
00:50:54I merely saw someone injured and acted out of concern.
00:50:56You must never let her know.
00:50:57You must never let her know.
00:50:59Fortunately, it wasn't His Majesty.
00:51:01But...
00:51:02Hasn't Master Langley been by His Majesty's side?
00:51:05Master Langley?
00:51:07What is going on here?
00:51:09Oh...
00:51:10This young guy here...
00:51:12He bests a strike in resemblance to His Majesty.
00:51:14I specifically brought him to the palace to interrogate him.
00:51:16Uh-uh.
00:51:18Hey, you, the new one.
00:51:20I'm going to be so ignorant of the rules.
00:51:21Don't you notice you 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 for causing this young officer concern.
00:51:32If you understand your error, then leave at once.
00:51:34As for you...
00:51:47Fraternizing with the guards is a grave matter.
00:51:50Yet Madam Williams merely punished her with kneeling.
00:51:53The last time she stole a jade pendant, that incident was also swept under the rug.
00:51:57Tell me, if His Majesty knew she had stolen his jade pendant, how do you think he would handle her?
00:52:03I 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!
00:52:24Ah, my face!
00:52:25Ah, my face!
00:52:27Ah, my face!
00:52:28Ah!
00:52:28You foolish serpent!
00:52:30What have you put in this ball?
00:52:31I-I obtained a recipe from a tallist who claimed they could enhance one's beauty when consumed.
00:52:40I only wished to do what was best for Madam Williams, which is why I acted so foolishly.
00:52:44How dare you serve something of unknown origin to ma'am, if this rash on her face does not fade?
00:52:51How will you atone for this?
00:52:53Madam!
00:52:53Guards, drag her away and sell her to a slave trader!
00:52:57Oh, Madam Williams, have mercy!
00:52:59Madam, have mercy, please!
00:53:00Madam!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:02Madam, have mercy!
00:53:04Madam!
00:53:06Madam!
00:53:08May I be permitted to try?
00:53:11You?
00:53:13You?
00:53:14I have studied medical texts, and I can prepare herbal remedy that might alleviate the rash
00:53:19on your face.
00:53:23If...
00:53:24If my methods prove effective, I beg you, Madam, to spare Isabella's life.
00:53:32His majesty has not paid me attention for a long time, yet I hear he has recently been
00:53:48visiting the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:53:50Tell me who could be in the Imperial Household Bureau to capture his majesty's interests so
00:53:54deeply.
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 who dares to do such a thing!
00:54:06Oh?
00:54:17It may not look appealing, but it is true that the rash has faded somewhat.
00:54:24It seems you do have some skill.
00:54:26Thank you for your praise, Madam.
00:54:29Madam, you need to only wait six more hours, and the rash will completely disappear.
00:54:46Eh?
00:54:52What are you trying to do now?
00:54:55If it weren't for you today, I might have already been taken away.
00:55:06As for what happened before, I owe you an apology.
00:55:09I will accept any punishment or 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 can be utterly vicious.
00:55:42Let's go.
00:55:42Your majesty.
00:55:43I believe that his majesty's insistence on making Lady Evelyn the Empress does not seem
00:55:53like a mere impulse.
00:55:55Lady Evelyn truly possesses remarkable qualities.
00:56:00Let's eat a chestnut cake.
00:56:02It was her!
00:56:03It was you who seduced his majesty.
00:56:14You're just stuck to face of yours.
00:56:19No wonder you can't stay out of trouble.
00:56:21His majesty's finding a bride outside the palace is wondering.
00:56:24But when did your lowly servants dare to entertain such wicked thoughts?
00:56:28When did Evelyn ever seduce his majesty?
00:56:31Isabella, have you forgotten how much we suffered because of her?
00:56:33Evelyn never once provoked me intentionally.
00:56:35It was you who kept picking fights deliberately.
00:56:38Isabella, do you even know who I am?
00:56:43How dare you act so insolently in my presence?
00:56:46Susan.
00:56:50Wait!
00:56:51The person standing before you is Lady Caldwell, daughter of Chancellor Caldwell.
00:56:55She's the one the Empress Dodge Rager has chosen to be Empress.
00:56:58What a fool.
00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell is the esteemed daughter of the Chancellor, surely you are a reasonable
00:57:03person.
00:57:04We have never even met his majesty.
00:57:05So how could there be any talk of seduction?
00:57:07I beg you, Lady Cat, will spare me.
00:57:10I heard from Eleanor that you not only seduced his majesty, but also entangled yourself
00:57:14with the guards.
00:57:15That face of yours is too dangerous to keep him.
00:57:23Stop!
00:57:34Stop!
00:57:37The Imperial Household Bureau is part of the harem.
00:57:45Since when is it your place to interfere?
00:57:48A mere old servant.
00:57:50There is to raise your voice in front of me.
00:57:52You!
00:57:52How dare you!
00:57:54His majesty and I grew up together.
00:57:56I am the only candidate for emphasis.
00:57:58The harm will be mine sooner or later.
00:58:00Dealing the lowly maid is nothing to me.
00:58:02Preposterous!
00:58:04Do you even know who stands before you?
00:58:07Aren't you just a lowborn student?
00:58:11If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never learn your place.
00:58:14Restrainer as well.
00:58:16Eleanor, you wouldn't dare.
00:58:18I never expected you to be so venomous at heart.
00:58:26Her majesty truly misjudged you.
00:58:29You didn't call yourself her majesty?
00:58:31Who are you taking yourself for?
00:58:32The Empress Dowager?
00:58:32A disfigured old wretch like you.
00:58:40There is to use the title of the Empress Dowager.
00:58:42It seems you've grown tired of living.
00:58:44It seems you still refuse to admit your wrongdoing.
00:58:46What wrong have I done?
00:58:48You, born into lowly status, can only be servants of the palace.
00:58:51To defy your superiors is to seek death.
00:58:54You, Lady Catwell.
00:58:55The inner court is under the jurisdiction of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.
00:58:59To deal with the palace servants privately is likely against the rules.
00:59:01I beg you to show mercy.
00:59:03As the head of the Imperial House of Heroes,
00:59:05you have allowed your mage to seduce His Majesty.
00:59:07Such behavior is a dangerous example.
00:59:09This is unforgivable.
00:59:11Fetch my way.
00:59:17The Spring Blossom Banquet will be held at the beginning of next month.
00:59:20This year, all the nobles and dignitaries will be in attendance.
00:59:23Everything must be prepared perfectly.
00:59:25Your Majesty, rest assured,
00:59:26I will spare no effort in ensuring its success.
00:59:29You insolent servant.
00:59:33How dare you disturb His Majesty?
00:59:35His Majesty?
00:59:37This humble maid greets Your Majesty and beg Your Majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling.
00:59:41What did you say?
00:59:42Evelyn's in danger.
00:59:48His Majesty?
00:59:50This humble maid greets Your Majesty and beg Your Majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling.
00:59:54What did you say?
00:59:56Evelyn's in danger.
00:59:57What are you doing?
01:00:10It was me who offended Lady Cowan.
01:00:12I did not wish for him who suffered punishment on my account.
01:00:17Since you're so eager to play the hero,
01:00:19I shall grant your wish today.
01:00:21Enough!
01:00:22Anna Caldwell,
01:00:23Her 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 Your 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.
01:01:12I failed to recognize that you were 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.
01:01:28I implore Your Majesty to carefully consider the matter.
01:01:31How could you dare to offend the Empress Dowager?
01:01:42Admit your fault at once!
01:01:43The temple subject admits my fault.
01:01:46Your Majesty, it was this wretched man.
01:01:48She told me to seduce His Majesty.
01:01:52This is why I lost my composure.
01:01:54Lady Caldwell, it was clear to you!
01:01:56If it weren't for your manipulation, how 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!
01:02:07The 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, yet I never expected you to be ruthless.
01:02:27You've overstepped your place and still dared to dream of becoming Empress.
01:02:31You are sentenced to one year in the Office of Discipline to reflect on your actions.
01:02:34Office of Discipline?
01:02:35No, Your Majesty!
01:02:36This almost has to get miserable!
01:02:38Your Majesty, please spare me!
01:02:40I 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?
01:03:07Of course not!
01:03:08Her 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!
01:03:22There 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.
01:03:38Mother, 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?
01:03:53I don't know how to organize it.
01:03:57Don't worry.
01:03:59Trust your abilities.
01:04:00You shall triumph.
01:04:01I'll also assist you behind the scenes.
01:04:02All right.
01:04:08All right.
01:04:08Get moving, all of you.
01:04:16If anyone dares to slack off, my whip shows no mercy.
01:04:25Useless 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.
01:04:33Everyone, Sterling, this is all your fault!
01:04:43Don't touch me!
01:04:45I'm the daughter of Chancellor Caldwell!
01:04:47But I better show some respect!
01:04:49The daughter of Chancellor Caldwell!
01:04:57In 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,
01:05:07I can surely turn things around.
01:05:09What a wretched place!
01:05:16They expect me, a lady, to wash my clothes myself?
01:05:21Where 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?
01:05:31I am a noble bird.
01:05:33Were it not for this temporary misfortune,
01:05:35you wouldn't even be worthy to speak to me.
01:05:39My elder sister, Evelyn Sterling, is the reason I was in prison here!
01:05:44If you help escape, I shall be forever indebted to you.
01:05:50Evelyn Sterling?
01:05:56Not 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.
01:06:07Your majesty, terrible news.
01:06:10The Office of Discipline is on fire.
01:06:11What?
01:06:19Sir, what is the situation inside?
01:06:21The fire has engulfed the entire rear courtyard.
01:06:23Nearly half the people couldn't make it out.
01:06:26Anna Caldwell.
01:06:27Your majesty!
01:06:39Your majesty!
01:06:40This 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 Lai?
01:07:05What?
01:07:06Are you unwilling?
01:07:07Or would you prefer to continue staying in the Office of Discipline?
01:07:10Oh, no.
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 remember.
01:07:42Josephine is your sister.
01:07:45Tell me,
01:07:47how should I reward her?
01:07:52Empress 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.
01:08:07Thank you for your grace.
01:08:18Evelyn Sterling,
01:08:20I thought you had sworn high 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.
01:08:31About that,
01:08:34I will make sure you pay it.
01:08:37Edmund,
01:08:37let me out,
01:08:48please.
01:08:48This 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!
01:09:09Why 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,
01:09:19you still have the guts to come back?
01:09:22Edmund,
01:09:23it's all because Evelyn.
01:09:24Instead 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.
01:09:39She 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?
01:09:55Spring Blossom Banquet is coming.
01:09:58All the nobles
01:09:59will be present then.
01:10:01It's the perfect opportunity.
01:10:03Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:10:05We're invited too.
01:10:07So I can go then?
01:10:11What are you scheming this time?
01:10:15Don't worry.
01:10:17At the banquet,
01:10:18I'll impress everyone.
01:10:20As long as I win
01:10:20the Empress Dowager's favor,
01:10:22our family will rise again.
01:10:46It's gonna be all nobles and high officials.
01:10:48Check everything thoroughly.
01:10:49We cannot afford to any mistakes.
01:10:54Oh, stop worrying.
01:10:56We've confirmed every detail
01:10:57multiple times already.
01:10:58There won't be any problems.
01:11:00Let's hope so.
01:11:03Avalyn.
01:11:13Avalyn.
01:11:14If you like these pastries,
01:11:15if you like these pastries,
01:11:16I can get you more.
01:11:21Glad this is a remote area
01:11:23with no patrols.
01:11:25Otherwise,
01:11:26I can't meet like this.
01:11:27Avalyn.
01:11:28Avalyn.
01:11:29Once 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.
01:11:45Husband.
01:11:53Husband.
01:11:54Look over there.
01:11:59Avalyn.
01:12:00And a palace guard.
01:12:05All right.
01:12:06You're on duty today.
01:12:08Let's hurry back.
01:12:09Remember, wait for me here.
01:12:13Okay, take these.
01:12:19Hey, you really can't go a moment without a man.
01:12:23Just got tossed aside by his majesty and now you're ready with the guard.
01:12:28This is the Imperial Palace, not your place, all right?
01:12:41Everything you do here is washed by his majesty in the Empress Gouger.
01:12:45They were just released. Have you learned your lesson?
01:12:48My husband and I were invited here as honored guests for the banquet.
01:12:53You're nothing but a maid.
01:12:54If you serve us well, I may reward you.
01:12:59If not, you'll get kicked out.
01:13:02You were lucky to have gone away last time.
01:13:06No one can protect you this time.
01:13:10What do you mean?
01:13:12I want to destroy you from head to toe.
01:13:17Greetings, Empress Gouger.
01:13:24Greetings, Empress Gouger.
01:13:30Evelyn.
01:13:32Preparing the banquet must be exhausting.
01:13:34Once it is over, I will reward you properly.
01:13:38It's just my duty.
01:13:39Thanks for your grace.
01:13:42Your Highness, I have something to say.
01:13:44Speak.
01:13:45I wish to report Evelyn's improper relationship with the guard.
01:13:52Oh?
01:13:53I saw it with my own eyes.
01:13:55Evelyn and a guard were extremely intimate.
01:13:58When caught, they tried to cover it up.
01:14:00If they're this bold in broad daylight, who knows what they do in secret?
01:14:05Your Highness, I did have a contact with a guard.
01:14:09But before entering the palace, we already had developed feelings.
01:14:12In the palace, we only met occasionally.
01:14:15There was nothing improper.
01:14:17If you weren't guilty, why did you hurry away in that moment you saw us?
01:14:21This should be punishable by death.
01:14:25Your Highness, I insist on seeing him.
01:14:28If this matter deserves punishment, please spare the guard's life.
01:14:33Since neither of you are innocent,
01:14:35Your Highness, please summon the guard and execute them.
01:14:40Yes, Your Highness, punish them both to uphold palace discipline.
01:14:45You two want me to execute the guard?
01:14:51You two want me to execute the guard?
01:14:56In the palace, it is indeed forbidden for palace maids and guards to mingle.
01:15:01But Evelyn, for organizing the banquet, put in great effort.
01:15:04She has redeemed herself.
01:15:06I have decided to spare her from punishment.
01:15:09Bye!
01:15:09Evelyn, lead 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 protected her, and now the Empress dowager.
01:15:35Even she was entrusted with the whole banquet?
01:15:38Since she's in charge of the banquet,
01:15:40we can just...
01:15:42Your Majesty, the banquet is that way.
01:15:51Where are you going?
01:15:51It's about to begin.
01:15:53You'll be late.
01:15:54I've thought it over.
01:15:55I should let her know the truth before the banquet.
01:15:58Go tell Evelyn.
01:15:59To meet me will reward before.
01:16:04Eunuch Langley.
01:16:06Come here.
01:16:06What's going on?
01:16:16You've done a great job this time.
01:16:18They're talking about how good the banquet is.
01:16:20Even an Empress dowager looks pleased.
01:16:22That's great.
01:16:24Someone is waiting for you in that courtyard.
01:16:26Go.
01:16:27How is it?
01:16:31Assassins!
01:16:31Protect the Empress dowager!
01:16:33What's going on inside?
01:16:37An assassin disguised in sedan, sir.
01:16:39Lord Montague took the blow for Her Majesty,
01:16:41and the assassin escaped.
01:16:42What?
01:16:44Take her away.
01:16:46What are you doing?
01:16:47There is an assassin.
01:16:49We are arresting Evelyn to the judicial court.
01:16:50What?
01:16:51Me?
01:16:59My lord, he's the suspect.
01:17:01Maid Evelyn Sterling.
01:17:02He's the Prime Minister.
01:17:04So, she's the one who harmed Dana.
01:17:07Chancellor Caldwell.
01:17:09She was in charge of the palace banquet.
01:17:11How dare you?
01:17:12How dare you plan assassination against the Empress dowager?
01:17:16Are you rebelling?
01:17:18I'm not.
01:17:19I personally verified the identity of everyone.
01:17:22I have no idea where the assassin came from.
01:17:24Of course you don't.
01:17:25Right before the banquet,
01:17:26you were secretly meeting with the guard.
01:17:28You were so affectionate
01:17:29that you just ignored everything around you.
01:17:31What?
01:17:33Is this true?
01:17:34Chancellor,
01:17:35I can testify.
01:17:36That very guard is still at the Ministry of Rights.
01:17:38Someone.
01:17:39Bring that guard here.
01:17:40I will get to the bottom of this.
01:17:44Why hasn't Evelyn come yet?
01:17:46Sir, here's the guard.
01:18:04Are you alright, Lucas?
01:18:08Evelyn Sterling, how 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 not to implicate anyone else.
01:18:16The palace is heavily guarded.
01:18:18An outsider could never get in.
01:18:20Evelyn must have secretly colluded with the assassin,
01:18:22if not from a husband's great reaction.
01:18:25You should have been executed by now.
01:18:28Chancellor Caldwell,
01:18:29I really don't know about the assassin.
01:18:31I beg you to grant me some time.
01:18:33I will cover the truth behind this matter.
01:18:35Enough.
01:18:36Made Evelyn Sterling colluded with the guard,
01:18:39disrupted palace order,
01:18:40and put the Empress Starwager in danger.
01:18:42Both of them are to be executed immediately.
01:18:52No.
01:18:53Chancellor, we broke over water.
01:18:55Chancellor, I beg you.
01:18:57Chancellor.
01:18:57Chancellor, don't.
01:18:59Chancellor, please.
01:19:01Chancellor.
01:19:03Lucas, I'm sorry.
01:19:04It's not my fault.
01:19:06I'm so sorry.
01:19:25Stop 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.
01:19:41How dare you condemning the innocent
01:19:44without discerning right from wrong.
01:19:47This is totally outrageous.
01:19:56You'd keep going against Evelyn every turn.
01:19:58Today, if I weren't here,
01:20:00you would have gotten your way.
01:20:01Your Majesty, I didn't mean to hurt my sister.
01:20:05Your Majesty, Evelyn was in charge of the banquet,
01:20:07but she allowed assassins in to hurt the Empress Starwager.
01:20:10I beg you.
01:20:11Your Majesty issued an order at once
01:20:13to imprison her for further interrogation.
01:20:15Chancellor, go was right.
01:20:16If it weren't for my husband's presence today,
01:20:18the Empress Starwager might not have survived.
01:20:20Your Majesty, my life is of no consequence,
01:20:22but Evelyn must be punished.
01:20:23Your Majesty, my life is of no consequence,
01:20:29but Evelyn must be punished.
01:20:31If this happens again,
01:20:33who will protect the palace?
01:20:37Please.
01:20:38You must punish Evelyn.
01:20:40Adrian Montague,
01:20:41Are you making decisions for me?
01:20:43The Empress Starwager has been traumatized today.
01:20:45If Your Majesty is not to punish Evelyn,
01:20:47what if others follow her example?
01:20:49The consequences will be unimaginable.
01:20:51I request Your Majesty to punish Evelyn.
01:20:53I beg Your Majesty to punish Evelyn.
01:20:55I beg Your Majesty to punish Evelyn.
01:20:57Is that so?
01:21:03If I have evidence that Evelyn's innocent,
01:21:06what 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 the same punishment.
01:21:24Okay.
01:21:26Come on.
01:21:27Read them to me.
01:21:30Your Majesty is wise.
01:21:32Following your orders,
01:21:34I've already arranged for guards
01:21:36to capture the assassin.
01:21:38Your Majesty,
01:21:39spare me!
01:21:40The assassination was all Josephine and Andrea's idea.
01:21:43I was truly forced into it.
01:21:44Your Majesty,
01:21:44spare me!
01:21:45Your Majesty,
01:21:46please spare me!
01:21:46It's over.
01:21:47It's all over.
01:21:48Guards,
01:21:49take Nicholas away!
01:21:51Your Majesty,
01:21:52I've been serving the royals
01:21:54for decades!
01:21:56I'm absolutely loyal!
01:21:58Your Majesty,
01:21:58please don't do this to me!
01:22:00Your Majesty!
01:22:02Her Majesty!
01:22:07As 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!
01:22:13You're lying!
01:22:14Your Majesty,
01:22:15I was only jealous of my sister!
01:22:16The assassination was always Grant's idea!
01:22:19And,
01:22:19and taking the flu
01:22:20was all part of this act!
01:22:21Your Majesty!
01:22:22Dammit!
01:22:23How dare you betray me!
01:22:25Enough!
01:22:26Adrian Montague,
01:22:28Josephine Sterling,
01:22:29as masterminds,
01:22:31will be executed right now!
01:22:35Lock Catherine in the Judicial Court!
01:22:37Wait for further orders!
01:22:38Your Majesty!
01:22:40Your Majesty!
01:22:40Please give me a chance,
01:22:42Your Majesty!
01:22:42Your Majesty!
01:22:43Your Majesty!
01:22:44But instead,
01:22:44I hate you!
01:22:45If that were you,
01:22:47all of this would have been mine!
01:22:48No, no.
01:22:50It's all because of yourself,
01:22:51not me.
01:22:54You brought all of this upon yourself.
01:22:56Evelyn.
01:23:07Hi.
01:23:10So,
01:23:11Your Majesty,
01:23:12what is your real name?
01:23:17Lucian Prescott.
01:23:19Lucian Prescott.
01:23:22Now the criminals have been taken away,
01:23:24Your Majesty and Your Highness.
01:23:26You can finally be together.
01:23:31My Highness.
01:23:33From today onward,
01:23:35I will make you Empress.
01:23:42Starting today,
01:23:43the concubines will be dismissed.
01:23:45The harem only has one leader.
01:23:50And that will be my Empress.
01:23:52Britney!
01:23:54Long live Your Highness!
