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!
00:00:28Murder!
00:00:29Murder!

00:00:52Murder!
00:00:53Murder!
00:00:54Murder!
00:00:55Murder!
00:00:56Murder!
00:00:57Murder!
00:00:58This thing being over is nothing but an illusion. If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.
00:01:28Master, I have already spread the word. The noblemen from all around have heard that our daughters of the Sterling family are seeking husbands and are eager to compete for them.
00:01:40For a son-in-law of our family, at the very least, he must be a man of great status. You two better aim at the right man. Whichever of you marries well shall bring glory to our family.
00:01:49Have I been reborn just three years ago, the very day of the husband seeking bridal bond?
00:01:55My lady, it's time to cast your ball.
00:02:01Sister, please let me go first.
00:02:05In my past life, Josephine insists that I go first. Feigning modesty and humility. Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.
00:02:16Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me! Lady Josephine, come on!
00:02:26In this life, I have to marry Adrian!
00:02:30It's him! Adrian, second son of the Montagues!
00:02:41The Montague family are relatives of the royal family, which means we shall become royal kin as well!
00:02:47I actually altered my fate. Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank, and I shall become a noble lady of honor!
00:02:58Josephine, you have screamed relentlessly. But little do you know that you're gonna suffer a lot in the evil Montague family.
00:03:05Great, great, great! The whole family is counting on you!
00:03:10Oh, stop flattering me! I'm doing this just for our family.
00:03:13Once I become Lady Montague, I shall be mindful of my words and actions bringing prosperity to our family.
00:03:20Sister, what do you say?
00:03:23You are truly fortunate. As your sister, I am happy for you.
00:03:29Evelyn, Lady Luck is with me this time. In this life, I will never let you overshadow me again.
00:03:41That is... that...
00:03:44Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:03:47Master, if the Empress tower did you find, so you're dressed like this.
00:03:51Mother's been always pressing me. I can only leave the palace for some peace.
00:03:56This is a perfect chance, to experience the life of ordinary folk.
00:04:00Hurry, Mr. Darling, let's go! The bridal ball for marriage!
00:04:03Let's have a look.
00:04:05In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal ball. I had to run away and then suffer a lot.
00:04:11This time, I shall let you taste the pain of being abandoned by your own kin.
00:04:16Master, our family has now secured ties with the Montagues.
00:04:19Evelyn, now it's your turn. And you better aim as close as Josephine.
00:04:25Mother, how could you say such a thing?
00:04:28Sister has always been lucky and she would never bring shame upon us.
00:04:32In my opinion, in the moment, she will surely get the finest husband.
00:04:36Powerful or not, rich or not, it's only written on water.
00:04:45In this life, I seek only a true companion to live a peaceful life till the end.
00:04:50It's him. It's him. The beggar that Josephine ran away from.
00:05:08That Josephine ran away from.
00:05:11Oh, oh no. It actually went to a beggar.
00:05:16Sister, what terrible luck you have. A beggar out of so many people down there. How do you expect father to hold his head high?
00:05:23Damn it! With so many people down there, how could you cast into a beggar? Are you deliberately trying to shame me?
00:05:31What's done is done, sister. Do not be too upset.
00:05:34Though he is of lowly birth, but look, at least he got a pretty face.
00:05:38It is only a pity for you, sister, raising comfort and luxury. But now bound to a beggar, you shall have to labor yourself to earn your bread.
00:05:48Now this will be quite the spectacle. The esteemed Lady Evelyn will marry a beggar? Everyone is watching.
00:05:54If she refuses, it's going to ruin their credit. Who would associate with them more?
00:06:01Hey! Hey! Hey! Cease her! Don't let her escape!
00:06:04Master, how did this bridal ball end up in your hands? What should we do now? Let's discard it!
00:06:11I'm dressed in such rags. She won't agree.
00:06:17Sister, why are you running? You cast the bridal ball yourself!
00:06:22You damn girl! Look at the filthy beggar you've got!
00:06:26If he becomes my son-in-law, it's gonna be a huge disgrace to us!
00:06:32In my past life, I was mistreated by the Montagues and used for Sterling's ambitions.
00:06:38Thinking back now, perhaps marrying a beggar would be a better fate.
00:06:43The rule of the bridal ball is binding. Since he caught the ball, you should-
00:06:48I am willing to marry him!
00:06:49I am willing to marry him!
00:06:55What?
00:06:59My name is Evelyn Sterling. What's yours?
00:07:03I am Lu-
00:07:05Lucas Prescott.
00:07:07With all present as my witnesses today.
00:07:14I, Evelyn Sterling.
00:07:16Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband.
00:07:18Are you serious?
00:07:19Huh.
00:07:20Yeah.
00:07:21The ball is in your hands.
00:07:23You wanna... reject me?
00:07:25I didn't.
00:07:26It's just that I'm poor as hell.
00:07:27Marrying me would mean a life of a certainty.
00:07:28Are you sure?
00:07:29We're not disabled or something.
00:07:30We may be poor now, but we can always earn our money.
00:07:35We can work hard to make a living ourselves.
00:07:38I've never seen someone so easily content.
00:07:39He's just a filthy beggar!
00:07:40You're really gonna marry him?
00:07:41Evelyn.
00:07:42You're sure about this?
00:07:43Marrying me would mean a life of a certainty.
00:07:44Are you sure?
00:07:45Are you sure?
00:07:46We're not disabled or something.
00:07:47We may be poor now, but we can always earn our money.
00:07:50We can work hard to make a living ourselves.
00:07:54I've never seen someone so easily content.
00:07:57He's just a filthy beggar!
00:07:59You're really gonna marry him?
00:08:01Evelyn.
00:08:02You're sure about this?
00:08:04Marry this beggar and your future is ruined.
00:08:07I do not believe that is true.
00:08:09Future won't be decided like that.
00:08:11Lucas.
00:08:12He may be in rags now.
00:08:14But I can see his humility and good manner.
00:08:17He's gonna make a difference maybe.
00:08:19You are-
00:08:21Rule is rule.
00:08:22You're not eating your words, are you sir?
00:08:25Indeed.
00:08:26If he refuses, that's breaking the rules and gonna ruin their reputation.
00:08:30Seems well, she has to marry him.
00:08:32Indeed marry him!
00:08:33Indeed marry him!
00:08:34Indeed marry him!
00:08:35Since you want to marry him, don't blame us in the future.
00:08:39You won't get a share of the coming glory of us!
00:08:43I understand.
00:08:44The matchmaking is concluded.
00:08:46Everyone disperse!
00:08:48Sister.
00:08:49No hard feelings.
00:08:51But marrying a beggar means you will spend your life beneath me.
00:09:01You should worry about yourself.
00:09:03Life with the Montague's is not as easy as you imagine.
00:09:07You...
00:09:08In three days, remember to come to propose.
00:09:22It's her or mother's pressing.
00:09:24So I might as well...
00:09:26Alright.
00:09:27I'll be there.
00:09:28Today, the second daughter of the Sarlene family is to be wed.
00:09:29Her dowry includes a pair of gold phoenix hairpins laid with precious gems, twenty bolts of fine brocade, three land deeds for silk shops in the eastern district.
00:09:47Lady Josephine Sterling's salary is worth a fortune.
00:09:50Yet Lady Evelyn Sterling has nothing at all.
00:09:52They're both daughters of the Sarlene family.
00:09:54But the difference between them is astonishing.
00:09:56Sister, after marrying a beggar, you will likely toil for the rest of your life.
00:10:00I wonder if you can even endure such life.
00:10:11It's the bridegroom.
00:10:12The bridegroom has arrived.
00:10:16As expected of the second son of the Montague family, the spectacle is grand indeed.
00:10:21Of course, the Montagues hold immense power.
00:10:23Marrying into their family, Lady Josephine Sterling will live a life of endless luxury.
00:10:27Unlike Evelyn marrying a beggar, this will certainly be an interesting sight to behold.
00:10:32My respects to my honor, father and mother-in-law.
00:10:34Please rise, my son-in-law.
00:10:35My son-in-law.
00:10:36Such an elaborate wedding procession is a spectacle worthy of Highgate.
00:10:41For our dear Josephine to be regarded so highly by you is an honor to the Sterling family.
00:10:50Sister, the auspicious hour is nearly over. Why has your husband not come for you?
00:10:54Could it be that he's not coming at all?
00:10:57I, your humble son-in-law, greet my honored father-in-law.
00:11:12My lady.
00:11:17My lady.
00:11:18Are you here to beg for the alms or take a bride? Dressed in such rags, do you not feel ashamed? Compared to Lord Montague, you are as far apart as heaven and earth.
00:11:28Just what are you wearing? In front of so many esteemed officials, are you not bringing shame upon me?
00:11:33Today is your wedding day. And yet you came dressed like this? Do you not find this is a disgrace? Do you not finding this humiliating?
00:11:42Marriage is a lifelong commitment, building upon sincerity, not mere appearances. The man I, Evelyn Sterling, have chosen is not one whose worth can be swayed by idle words.
00:11:51Have you not embarrassed us enough?
00:11:54Master, do not be angered. From the moment Evelyn steps beyond this threshold, she'll no longer be a Sterling.
00:12:02The auspicious hour has arrived! Bring the bride to the carriage!
00:12:05This is the...
00:12:14Congratulations, Master Sterling. Your son-in-law is truly an exceptional man.
00:12:21Many thanks, Deputy Minister. Please come inside.
00:12:26Off to you.
00:12:27Surely you didn't arrive on foot today. On such a big day, will you have the bride walk all the way to your home? Unheard of.
00:12:40Indeed. Not like my husband.
00:12:46My lady, please, allow me to take you home.
00:12:49Bow to the heavens and the earth.
00:13:11Is this the place you've found us to live in?
00:13:14Bow to the elders.
00:13:16A shabby place like this, is it even fit for a living?
00:13:22I just didn't want you to blow your cover.
00:13:25And bow to each other as husband and wife.
00:13:34The ceremony is complete!
00:13:38My lady, I have put you through hardship, having a life with me in such a shabby place.
00:13:42Not at all. I actually think it's rather spacious. At least, it shields us from the wind and rain.
00:13:52If we work hard from now on, keep this place tidy, it'll soon feel much more comfortable.
00:13:56At this moment, I have nothing of value to give you.
00:14:00The shade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:14:04I've carried it with me all these years.
00:14:06And now, I'm giving it to you.
00:14:09It's so precious. Are you certain of it?
00:14:20Alright. I will cherish it well.
00:14:22You're up!
00:14:38Breakfast is ready... for you.
00:14:40You're up. Breakfast is ready. For you.
00:14:54Hi. Where are you going?
00:14:57Today is the wife's homecoming day. I 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.
00:15:10Greetings, your ma-
00:15:15Greetings, your majesty.
00:15:20Greetings, your majesty.
00:15:24Who are they?
00:15:27The palace is too complicated. Once 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?
00:15:53Yes.
00:15:56Hmm.
00:16:08Speak! 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.
00:16:16Yes, your majesty.
00:16:18Get someone to deliver some valuable gifts to Sterling Estate. Say that they're Evelyn's homecoming gifts.
00:16:24Yes, your majesty.
00:16:25Let's go.
00:16:26Father. Mother. Your daughter has returned.
00:16:31Father.
00:16:32Father. Why has sister returned alone?
00:16:39Today is your homecoming day.
00:16:42Sister, why have you returned alone?
00:16:44Are you ashamed of your beggar husband?
00:16:47So you didn't even bring him to meet the family.
00:16:49My husband wanted to come, but something urgent came up.
00:16:53Since being married to the beggar, Lady Evelyn Sterling, must have suffered a great deal.
00:16:58You look much frailer than before.
00:17:01Had 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. I am living well.
00:17:11As of for you, sister, it has been quite a few days since you had seen your husband before.
00:17:16You...
00:17:17Ugh.
00:17:18Screw you, Adrian.
00:17:19Went drinking with 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. How can you still have the face to come back?
00:17:39What does your husband do all day, not even accompanying you for your homecoming?
00:17:44Mother, you're thinking too highly of her.
00:17:47That 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, and yet you come back empty-handed on your homecoming day.
00:18:23Indeed, sister.
00:18:25This is my homecoming gift.
00:18:27Have you fallen into such poverty that you cannot even afford a proper homecoming gift?
00:18:31Father, 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.
00:18:46Oh!
00:18:47Oh!
00:18:48Get out!
00:18:51What a disgrace!
00:18:53Sister, is this truly what you've brought?
00:18:56A few scraps of cloth with embroidery.
00:18:59How dare you present these?
00:19:01Well, she did marry a beggar.
00:19:03So her gift befits her status perfectly.
00:19:05Oh, right.
00:19:08She has married a beggar.
00:19:10What else could we expect from her?
00:19:18Master! Madam!
00:19:19Someone from the palace has arrived with gifts.
00:19:21They say they are the homecoming gifts from Lady Evelyn.
00:19:27Master Sterling!
00:19:28Who exactly has your eldest daughter married a mountain nobility?
00:19:31Even the palace saw fit to have me personally deliver these gifts to you.
00:19:34You must hold great influence, indeed.
00:19:36Gifts from the palace?
00:19:37Then it must be from his majesty himself.
00:19:39It was personally arranged by the chief eunuch at his majesty's side.
00:19:42He said, for the Sterling family's...
00:19:46eldest daughter.
00:19:50Mr. Ashford, you must be mistaken.
00:19:54All of Highgate knows that Evelyn married a beggar.
00:19:58How could she possibly have ties to anyone in the palace?
00:20:01Oh, this must surely be a courtesy to young Master Montague.
00:20:10Indeed.
00:20:11In this world, those seeking favor with the Montague family are countless.
00:20:15Even those in the palace are paying their respects.
00:20:18Father-in-law, please accept with joy.
00:20:22Josephine has married a remarkable husband.
00:20:25Just look at the grandeur of her homecoming.
00:20:27Such lavish gifts.
00:20:29Our Sterling family is truly honored beyond measure.
00:20:33The gifts have been delivered.
00:20:35I shall take my leave.
00:20:37Oh, take care.
00:20:38Take care.
00:20:41Sister, my husband has prepared two sets of homecoming gifts.
00:20:45Seeing all these, do you not feel ashamed?
00:20:48It's not about the quality of gifts, but the sincerity behind them.
00:20:51I see nothing inappropriate in this.
00:20:54I've poured my heart and effort into raising you, and yet, not only did you marry a beggar,
00:20:58but you even bring back these worthless rags to disgrace me.
00:21:01The Sterling family has no place for such a disgraceful daughter.
00:21:05Simply because I married Lucas, you feel justified to humiliate me like this.
00:21:09Josephine acts in the best interest of the Sterling family,
00:21:12unlike you who married a beggar, bringing disgrace upon us all.
00:21:16Disgrace.
00:21:19It's only because Josephine married into wealth that you so readily indulge her.
00:21:24Insolent, child!
00:21:25Such outrageous defiance!
00:21:26Who has put these ideas in your head?
00:21:28Is it not the truth?
00:21:31In your eyes, a daughter is nothing more than a pawn to suck your power in favor.
00:21:37Outrageous!
00:21:38How dare you speak to your father in such a manner?
00:21:41A dragon jade pendant?
00:21:49Outrageous!
00:21:51And now, I must inform his majesty.
00:21:55Give it back to me!
00:21:57This jade pendant looks of fine quality.
00:22:01From where did you steal it, sister?
00:22:04That is from Lucas.
00:22:05Give it back!
00:22:06That wretched beggar?
00:22:09He will never possess such a fine pendant.
00:22:12He must have stolen it from somewhere.
00:22:15Would right have you to make such rash accusations.
00:22:17Lucas may not be of noble birth like you,
00:22:19but you believe that possessing a jade pendant is a rightful due.
00:22:22Yet Lucas is not worthy of the same.
00:22:23A worthless beggar's gift, and you treat it like a treasure.
00:22:26How ignorant.
00:22:28You want the pendant?
00:22:29Very well.
00:22:30But you must sever all ties with the Sterlings.
00:22:33Yes.
00:22:34You.
00:22:38Father, will you truly indulge Josephine's audacity?
00:22:43Am I not also your daughter?
00:22:45You insisted on marrying a beggar.
00:22:48Bringing shame upon the Sterling family,
00:22:50you are unworthy to be my daughter.
00:22:52On this day forth, I have only one daughter,
00:22:55Josephine.
00:22:55For the rest of my life,
00:23:04I seek only to be with the one who is true of heart.
00:23:07Even if I must live on plain fare,
00:23:09it is better than enduring cold disdain in the Sterlings.
00:23:13Since that is the case...
00:23:14Hi, Evelyn Sterling.
00:23:25Severe all ties with the Sterling family.
00:23:29We are here and forth, strangers.
00:23:31All for the sake of a worthless beggar.
00:23:43You would sever ties with us?
00:23:45It is fortunate we never placed our hopes in you.
00:23:51Is that not what Father has always thought of?
00:23:53Why should I remain here only to be an eyesore to him?
00:23:56Hold it.
00:23:59Now that you wish to leave,
00:24:01I fear it is too late.
00:24:03Guards,
00:24:04bring the burning charcoal from the kitchen.
00:24:07Scatter them across the board.
00:24:09What are you trying to do?
00:24:12Your Majesty,
00:24:13something terrible has happened.
00:24:14Lady Evelyn was humiliated at the Sterling estate.
00:24:22One's body and soul are bestowed by One's parents.
00:24:24If you wish to sever ties,
00:24:27you must first repay your parents' kindness.
00:24:30My Lady speaks most reasonably.
00:24:32Given your current state,
00:24:33it would be far too much to expect
00:24:35that you present anything of great value.
00:24:37Then you have no choice but to walk barefoot
00:24:39across this bed of burning charcoal.
00:24:43It is pleasing so fiercely.
00:24:45How could anyone survive walking across them?
00:24:47I will not walk.
00:24:48Oh?
00:24:51It seems, dear sister,
00:24:53that you no longer want this jade pendant.
00:24:57Stop!
00:25:00Lucas is the only one who has ever treated me well.
00:25:04This jade pendant was left to him by his parents.
00:25:06Farewell.
00:25:07I will never allow his heartfelt gift to be trampled.
00:25:09For the sake of a filthy beggar,
00:25:33you would go to such lengths?
00:25:34You must have lost your mind.
00:25:38For a mere jade pendant,
00:25:39a lady born into privilege
00:25:41would willingly walk across burning charcoal.
00:25:43No wonder she was foolish enough
00:25:45to marry a mere beggar.
00:25:46After all,
00:25:47what does a beggar have to his name
00:25:49but worthless trinkets?
00:25:50This jade pendant is likely
00:25:52his most treasured possession.
00:25:55No wonder, dear sister,
00:25:56cherishes it so.
00:25:58The jade pendant was left to me than my father.
00:26:01I've carried it with me all these years.
00:26:03And now,
00:26:05I'm giving it to you.
00:26:14For me, my lady.
00:26:17Lucas,
00:26:18do not worry.
00:26:20I will reclaim the jade pendant.
00:26:25Ah!
00:26:27Ah!
00:26:28Ah!
00:26:29Ah!
00:26:30Ah!
00:26:31Ah!
00:26:33Can you
00:26:33return the jade pendant to me now?
00:26:38You want it?
00:26:41Then crawl over and take it!
00:26:43As long as you crawl over,
00:26:45this jade pendant will be yours.
00:26:50Ah!
00:26:50Ah!
00:26:50Ah!
00:26:52Ah!
00:26:54Ah!
00:26:56Ah!
00:26:58Ah!

00:27:02Ah!
00:27:02Ah!
00:27:02Ah!
00:27:02Ah!
00:27:03Ah!
00:27:03Ah!
00:27:03Ah!
00:27:04Ah!
00:27:04Ah!
00:27:04Ah!
00:27:04Ah!
00:27:05Ah!
00:27:05Ah!
00:27:06Ah!
00:27:06Ah!
00:27:06Ah!
00:27:07Ah!
00:27:07Ah!
00:27:08Ah!
00:27:08Ah!
00:27:08Ah!
00:27:09Ah!
00:27:09Ah!
00:27:10Ah!
00:27:10Ah!
00:27:11Ah!
00:27:11Ah!
00:27:12Ah!
00:27:12Ah!
00:27:13Ah!
00:27:13Ah!
00:27:14Ah!
00:27:14Ah!
00:27:15Ah!
00:27:15Ah!
00:27:16Ah!
00:27:16Ah!
00:27:17Ah!
00:27:18Ah!
00:27:19Ah!
00:27:20Ah!
00:27:21Ah!
00:27:22Ah!
00:27:23Ah!
00:27:24Ah!
00:27:24Ah!
00:27:25Ah!
00:27:26Ah!
00:27:27Ah!
00:27:28Ah!
00:27:29Ah!
00:27:30Ah!
00:27:31You claim to cherish your love for that filthy beggar, but if you were disfigured, would your
00:27:46dearest husband still want you?
00:27:50Why are you looking at me like that?
00:27:53I have long told you the fate of a woman who wets a beggar can only be one to be trampled
00:27:58upon at will.
00:28:00Exhaust yourself trying to torment me, but do you truly believe you'll get your way?
00:28:07I want you to spend the rest of your days wallowing in the gutter, watching as I rise to become
00:28:13the most esteemed woman in the world.
00:28:17who dares to lay a hand on my woman?
00:28:32Who dares to lay a hand on my woman?
00:28:37Avalon!
00:28:38I'm sorry.
00:28:39I'm late.
00:28:40Just leave.
00:28:42Just leave.
00:28:43Lucas, I didn't lose your Jake pendant.
00:28:49Did they say it was his majesty?
00:28:54How could it be him?
00:28:56A beggar is dressed in such luxurious robes, and those men, are they the imperial guards?
00:29:01Why would they take orders from a beggar?
00:29:03That filthy beggar's brother once served in the palace, is it natural for him to procure some robes?
00:29:08Each beggar has suffered humiliation last time, and now he has come to regain his dignity?
00:29:13What 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 as to steal from the imperial palace?
00:29:24If his majesty were to find out, do you really believe you will be spared?
00:29:27All deviant fools, you're doomed!
00:29:29You, what do you think you're doing?
00:29:33Avalon, come with me.
00:29:34Avalon, what's wrong?
00:29:37What's wrong?
00:29:47Who did this?
00:29:49Lucas!
00:29:57Yes, it was me! So what?
00:29:59I was only trying to help my dear sister.
00:30:01Who would've thought she would walk barefoot across the burning charcoal?
00:30:04I wonder what she was thinking? Such a fool!
00:30:07Silence!
00:30:08And who do you think you are to dare raise your voice before me?
00:30:12Yes, 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.
00:30:26Guard! Seize this filthy beggar, Neville and Sterling!
00:30:29Wait.
00:30:34How dare you humiliate my lady?
00:30:37Seize them! Seize them!
00:30:39Seize them!
00:30:40Seize them!
00:30:41Oh!
00:30:42How dare you!
00:30:43I'm Lady Joseph of Montag!
00:30:45The husband, save me!
00:30:47You filthy beggar!
00:30:48Guards!
00:30:49Whoever kills him for me, I shall reward him with ten tails of gold!
00:30:52And what of it?
00:30:54You've tortured Evelyn to such wretched state!
00:30:56Press their faces!
00:30:58Straight into the burning charcoal!
00:31:00You shall make an enemy of the entire Montague family!
00:31:02And what of it?
00:31:04Anyone who dares harm my lady shall only have one face!
00:31:08You filthy beggar!
00:31:10You filthy beggar!
00:31:12You're taking this act too far!
00:31:14Before I lose my temper, release me at once!
00:31:16I might disappear your life!
00:31:18You've tortured Evelyn to such wretched state!
00:31:21Press their faces!
00:31:22Straight into the burning charcoal!
00:31:24No!
00:31:25No!
00:31:26No!
00:31:27No!
00:31:28No!
00:31:29No!
00:31:30What are you doing?
00:31:31No!
00:31:32Stop!
00:31:33Once the judicial court arrives, you are doomed!
00:31:35All right!
00:31:36My 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!
00:31:46Carry on!
00:31:47Help!
00:31:48No!
00:31:49Help!
00:31:50No!
00:31:51Excuse me!
00:31:52You wretched fool!
00:31:53If you wish to die, don't drag your stoning family down with you!
00:31:56No!
00:31:57Stop!
00:31:59Brother!
00:32:00Brother, save me!
00:32:11Who is harming my brother?
00:32:17The imperial secret guards, why 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!
00:32:43That's right!
00:32:44You're new to this office!
00:32:45It's normal to get the wrong person, but he really is a filthy beggar!
00:32:48He can't possibly be the Emperor!
00:32:50That's true!
00:32:51The Emperor couldn't possibly be here!
00:32:53Wretched girl!
00:32:54Look at the fine husband you've chosen!
00:32:56You've offended Lord Montague!
00:32:58I'll see how you plan to end this!
00:33:01My lord!
00:33:02You must uphold justice for us!
00:33:04This filthy beggar and Evelyn Sterling!
00:33:06They defied human ethics!
00:33:08Even intended to murder us!
00:33:10Outrageous!
00:33:11At the foot of the imperial city!
00:33:13How can you act so brazenly?
00:33:14Guards!
00:33:15Take them to the dungeon of the judicial court!
00:33:17Interrogate them with torture!
00:33:18Wait!
00:33:20What else do you have to say?
00:33:22Since when was this position of Lord Justice Deputy?
00:33:25Yours to assume!
00:33:27You filthy beggar!
00:33:28How could you possibly know about court appointments?
00:33:30My brother was appointed by the Empress Dowager herself!
00:33:33What now?
00:33:34Regret finally sinking in?
00:33:35Even the Empress Dowager was deceived!
00:33:38Your Montague family truly is impressive!
00:33:45Empress Dowager, please speak up for your subject!
00:33:47His Majesty outside the palace married the eldest daughter of the Sterling family!
00:33:50What?
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!
00:33:57Reper the Sedan!
00:34:01Insolent!
00:34:02How dare you offend the Emperor Dowager?
00:34:03Are 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!
00:34:16We would never dare speak against the royal family!
00:34:19Please!
00:34:20Say the truth, my lord!
00:34:21The President in the world is the capital crime!
00:34:22You must not let them go, my lord!
00:34:23Evelyn Sterling, your dear husband has now committed a heinous crime!
00:34:28No matter who comes today, they cannot save you!
00:34:31I can't...
00:34:32I can't let Lucas break up your arms!
00:34:34Spares, my lord!
00:34:35He didn't mean to offend...
00:34:36Evelyn!
00:34:37Evelyn!
00:34:38Evelyn!
00:34:39Evelyn!
00:34:40Evelyn!
00:34:41Let's go!
00:34:42How dare you!
00:34:43Trying to run?
00:34:44Guards!
00:34:45Stop them!
00:34:46Whoever dares to block us again, kill without mercy!
00:34:47Yes, sir!
00:34:48Trying to escape?
00:34:49It's not that easy!
00:34:50Lucas!
00:34:51Lucas!
00:34:52Lucas!
00:34:53Lucas!
00:34:54Lucas!
00:34:55Lucas!
00:34:56Lucas!
00:34:57Lucas!
00:34:58Josephine Sterling, why is your heart so vicious?
00:35:01Lucas has no grievance with you, yet you harms him so cruelly!
00:35:04This filthy beggar actually tried to have some disfigure me?
00:35:05Of course I couldn't let you leave!
00:35:06Lucas!
00:35:07Lucas!
00:35:08Huh?
00:35:09Huh?
00:35:10Huh?
00:35:11Huh?
00:35:12Huh?
00:35:13Huh?
00:35:14Huh?
00:35:15Huh?
00:35:16Huh?
00:35:17Huh?
00:35:18Huh?
00:35:19Huh?
00:35:20Huh?
00:35:21Huh?
00:35:22Huh?
00:35:23Huh?
00:35:24Huh?
00:35:25Huh?
00:35:26Huh?
00:35:27Huh?
00:35:28Huh?
00:35:29Huh?
00:35:30Huh?
00:35:31Huh?
00:35:32Huh?
00:35:33Huh?
00:35:34Okay, hurry and go!
00:35:35I can't!
00:35:36Go?
00:35:37You still think he can go?
00:35:39Josephine Sterling, why won't you just let me go?
00:35:44Huh?
00:35:45Huh?
00:35:46I have to admit, sister, you're truly fortunate even marrying a beggar you still found true love.
00:35:52What a pity!
00:35:53The more you're like this, the more impossible it is for me to let you have your way!
00:35:57You-
00:35:58Josephine, the grudge between us should not involve others.
00:36:02Others!
00:36:03You can do whatever you want to me!
00:36:05I beg you!
00:36:06Let Lucas go, please!
00:36:08Avalyn, you don't need to waste your breath on her!
00:36:10I can't drag you into this!
00:36:12How touching!
00:36:13Even at a time like this!
00:36:15You still have time to flirt with this filthy beggar?
00:36:19Since you're feeling wrong so deep, I might as well send you both to death together!
00:36:25What are you waiting for?
00:36:26Die!
00:36:27Avalyn, what's up?
00:36:28Avalyn, what's up?
00:36:29Avalyn!
00:36:30Avalyn!
00:36:31Avalyn!
00:36:32Avalyn!
00:36:33Avalyn!
00:36:34Avalyn!
00:36:35Avalyn!
00:36:36Avalyn!
00:36:37Avalyn!
00:36:38Avalyn!
00:36:39Avalyn!
00:36:40Avalyn!
00:36:41Avalyn!
00:36:42Avalyn!

00:36:55Avalyn!
00:36:56Avalyn!
00:36:57Avalyn!
00:36:58Avalyn!
00:36:59Avalyn!
00:37:00Avalyn!
00:37:01Your Majesty, no members of the Starling family have been arrested.
00:37:07Your Majesty?
00:37:08Your... Your Majesty?
00:37:11What? You called him?
00:37:13Your Majesty? Wasn't he a beggar?
00:37:15Pass down my decree. Sebastian Serding and his family are executed on the spot.
00:37:20Master!
00:37:23Madam! Madam!
00:37:25Adam and Montague, as an official of the court, you abused your power and aided evil from this day forth.
00:37:30You are stripped of your duty, imprisoned along the Montague in the Judicial Court.
00:37:34Spare me, Your Majesty. Spare me.
00:37:36Please spare me, Your Majesty!
00:37:38Thank Your Majesty to revoke the order!
00:37:41It was my fault!
00:37:44I failed to see the truth, Your Majesty!
00:37:47When you humiliated Evelyn back then, did you ever think this day would come?
00:37:53Impossible.
00:37:54Given a second chance to life, how can I still make the wrong choice?
00:37:57Empress Dowager, I did commit a grave offense, but it was all under the orders of the Sterling family.
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!
00:38:13My son, although the two unfilial sons of the Montague family are foolish, they were not the masterminds.
00:38:19They should be punished later.
00:38:20The Sterling family is a household of commoners.
00:38:23To execute them all is indeed lacking consideration for the women.
00:38:27I saw that woman who was badly injured, my son.
00:38:30You should go tend to her quickly.
00:38:31Lucas, are you alright?
00:38:51Are you alright?
00:38:52Did you get hurt?
00:38:53I'm fine.
00:38:54Lie down quickly.
00:38:54The Imperius Physician said you have to lie down.
00:38:57Come on!
00:38:58Imperial Physician?
00:38:59What 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?
00:39:13You 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.
00:39:21Whether you approve or not, I will overcome all obstacles to make Evelyn my Empress.
00:39:26You!
00:39:26If you truly wish to make her Empress, she must pass my test.
00:39:34But...
00:39:34But, before that, you must not let her know your identity.
00:39:42Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to stop you.
00:39:46She 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...
00:39:56What about my father and the others?
00:39:59The Empress Dowager gave the order to have them all beaten 50 strikes each.
00:40:03Adrian Montague frequented the 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.
00:40:09And your sister was also sent to the Office of Discipline to do hard labor.
00:40:13And for your father and the others, they were exiled.
00:40:17Exiled?
00:40:17Evelyn, from now on, I will protect you.
00:40:25I asked the Empress Dowager for a position and assigned you to the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:40:30From now on, the two of us will be working in the palace.
00:40:35That's wonderful.
00:40:36When the time comes, we may work in the palace for three to five years.
00:40:40Then we can leave together and live a simple life.
00:40:43Okay.
00:40:50Evelyn, I hope you can forgive me.
00:40:58Evelyn, when I have some free time, I'll come to see you.
00:41:02Alright.
00:41:05Greetings.
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.
00:41:30This one here is a newly arrived maid, Evelyn Sterling.
00:41:33In the days to come, please take good care of her, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:37Rest assured, I will take good care of Miss Evelyn.
00:41:40I definitely won't let her do heavy work.
00:41:47Lucas.
00:41:49I came here to work, right?
00:41:51Why does it feel like I'm being treated like a mistress?
00:41:59She...
00:42:00Maybe she's a nice person.
00:42:03Miss Evelyn, please come with me.
00:42:12Go ahead.
00:42:13Go ahead.
00:42:27You!
00:42:28Clean all of these thoroughly.
00:42:29You and I both work at the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:42:33The tasks are assigned in advance.
00:42:34Why should I be the one to do your work?
00:42:36You've got the nerves to ask?
00:42:37It's because of you that I ended up cleaning the toilet bowl.
00:42:40Some people must have used certain means to land a post here.
00:42:43And somehow even earned Ma'am Langston's favor.
00:42:45She got all the Yeezy's work assigned to you.
00:42:53Hey!
00:42:54Give it back to me!
00:43:04Give it back to me!
00:43:07The Dragon Jade Pendant?
00:43:09There's something only His Majesty can wear.
00:43:11Hurry and inform Madam Langston.
00:43:12Someone is stealing!
00:43:14Oh, Majesty!
00:43:15Give it back to me!
00:43:16Right now!
00:43:16What are you waiting for?
00:43:32Grab her!
00:43:34Everyone, stop right there!
00:43:35Your Grace.
00:43:43The Imperial Household Bureau is such a crude place.
00:43:46You have never come here before.
00:43:47It might harm your noble health.
00:43:49Allow me to announce your arrival.
00:43:51No need.
00:43:52This time, I am disguised as a Bureau Matron
00:43:54because I want to truly know Evelyn Sterling.
00:43:58She must never learn of my identity.
00:44:00Palace rules are strict.
00:44:10I was only gone for a little while.
00:44:12And you dare behave so wildly.
00:44:14What do you take the Imperial Household Bureau for?
00:44:16Ma'am!
00:44:17She stole His Majesty's Jade Pendant.
00:44:21The one thing most forbidden in the harm is Eve.
00:44:23She feared being exposed and even tried to harm me.
00:44:26Ma'am!
00:44:27You must punish her properly.
00:44:28Ma'am Linsden, please let me explain.
00:44:32This isn't what happened.
00:44:33Enough!
00:44:34Hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:44:39The pendant belongs to me.
00:44:43I said hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:44:46I said hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:44:58The Dragon Jade Pendant.
00:45:02It truly belongs to His Majesty.
00:45:04The Dragon Jade Pendant.
00:45:06It truly belongs to His Majesty.
00:45:08The Emperor even gave her something this important?
00:45:11She even dares to steal His Majesty's pendant.
00:45:14In the future, who knows what outrageous things she might do?
00:45:17Palace rules are very clear.
00:45:19Anyone caught stealing goods worth more than one dollar
00:45:21will have their left foot cut off and be branded.
00:45:24Ma'am, please listen to my explanation.
00:45:27This 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 confirmed the pendant belongs to my son.
00:45:37Wouldn't that expose us to your identity?
00:45:39No.
00:45:40We can't rely on the object to prove there was theft involved.
00:45:43I'll thoroughly investigate this matter until the truth is found.
00:45:47The pendant will remain with me.
00:45:48If you are truly innocent, I will make things right for you.
00:45:52Thank 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
00:46:03will be punished according to Palace rules.
00:46:06Yes, Ma'am.
00:46:06Yes, Ma'am.
00:46:06Your bullying of your colleague has not been settled yet.
00:46:14You are to clean toilet bowl as punishment.
00:46:16You may eat only when you finish.
00:46:21Yes, Ma'am.
00:46:36Oh, isn't this much better?
00:46:51Your 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.
00:47:36I...
00:47:37I...
00:47:37I'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.
00:47:49By 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?
00:47:59Uh, 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.
00:48:08Oh, 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?
00:48:19It's Madam Willems.
00:48:24Hurry up, go.
00:48:25Go let her see you.
00:48:25Tomorrow.
00:48:26I'll come to see you tomorrow again.
00:48:35Madams.
00:48:36All the toilet bowls have been cleaned.
00:48:38Cleaned already?
00:48:40Then go sweep the entire back courtyard.
00:48:42Yes, ma'am.
00:48:49Finally done with everything.
00:49:02Why 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.
00:49:33Not stolen?
00:49:33Are you saying His Majesty gave it to you himself?
00:49:35You...
00:49:35The night air is damped with dew.
00:49:47I'm going inside to get my own blanket.
00:49:48Is that not allowed?
00:49:49Huh.
00:49:50What arrogance.
00:49:51This is the Imperial Palace.
00:49:52There's no such thing as yours or mine.
00:49:54Don't think that's just because of Mal and Lens
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.
00:50:56Unfortunately, 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 in here.
00:51:12He makes a striking 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.
00:51:20How can you 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 nearly punished her with kneeling.
00:51:53The last time she stole a jade pendant, that incident was also swept under the rug.
00:51:56Tell me, if His Majesty knew she had stolen his jade pendant, how do you think he would handle her?
00:52:13I shall inform His Majesty at once.
00:52:16It was you who stole his jade pendant.
00:52:18Let us see if he will still let you off so easily.
00:52:20Ah!
00:52:22Ah, my face!
00:52:24My face!
00:52:25Ah, my face!
00:52:26You foolish servant!
00:52:30What have you put in this bowl?
00:52:32I obtained a recipe from a tallist who claimed it 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.
00:52:45How 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!
00:52:54Guards!
00:52:54Drag her away and sell her to a slave trader!
00:52:57Oh, Madam Williams, have mercy!
00:52:59Madam, have mercy, please!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:02Madam, have mercy!
00:53:04Madam!
00:53:06Madam!
00:53:06May I be permitted to try to try?
00:53:11You?
00:53:14You?
00:53:15I've studied medical texts, and I can prepare herbal remedy that might alleviate the rash on your face.
00:53:24If...
00:53:24If my myths 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 visiting the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:53:49Tell me who could be in the Imperial Household Bureau to capture his majesty's interest so deeply.
00:53:55I don't know!
00:53:56I know nothing!
00:53:58Speak!
00:53:58I remember now!
00:54:03There is indeed someone who dares to do such a thing!
00:54:06Oh?
00:54:06It may not look appealing, but it is true that the rash has faded somewhat.
00:54:24It seems you do have some skill.
00:54:27Thank you for your praise, Madam.
00:54:29Adam, you need to only wait six more hours, and the rash will completely disappear.
00:54:34What 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 still?
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.
00:55:34Let's go.
00:55:46Her majesty.
00:55:48I believe that his majesty's insistence on making Lady Evelyn the Empress does not seem like a mere impulse.
00:55:55Lady Evelyn truly possesses remarkable qualities.
00:56:00I'll see you to chestnut cake.
00:56:02It was her!
00:56:03It was you who seduced his majesty.
00:56:17With us stuck the 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 not me.
00:56:24But when did your lowly servants dare to entertain such wicked thoughts?
00:56:29When did Evelyn ever seduce his majesty?
00:56:30Isabella, have you forgotten how much we suffered because of her?
00:56:34Evelyn never once provoked me intentionally.
00:56:35It was you who kept taking fights deliberately.
00:56:39Isabella!
00:56:41Do you even know who I am?
00:56:43How dare you act so insolently in my presence?
00:56:46Susan.
00:56:47Wait!
00:56:48The 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.
00:56:59What a fool!
00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell is the esteemed daughter of the Chancellor, surely you are a reasonable person.
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 Caldwell, spare me.
00:57:09I heard from Eleanor that you not only seduced his majesty, but also entangled yourself with the guards.
00:57:15That face of yours is too dangerous to keep him.
00:57:23Stop!
00:57:34Stop!
00:57:34Stop!
00:57:34Stop!
00:57:34Stop!
00:57:39The 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.
00:58:03Preposterous!
00:58:04Do you even know who stands before you?
00:58:06Aren't you just a lowborn servant?
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.
00:58:22I never expected you to be so venomous at heart.
00:58:26Her majesty truly misjudged you.
00:58:28Huh.
00:58:29You dare call yourself her majesty?
00:58:31Who are you taking yourself for?
00:58:32The Empress Dowager?
00:58:32The Empress Dowager?
00:58:36A disfigured old wretch like you dare 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 in the palace.
00:58:51To defy your superiors is to seek death.
00:58:54You, Lady Catwell, the inner court is under the jurisdiction of his majesty and the Empress Dowager.
00:58:59To deal with the palace servants privately is likely against the rules.
00:59:02I beg you to show mercy.
00:59:03As the head of the Imperial House of Europe, you have allowed your mage to choose his majesty.
00:59:08Such behaviors as a dangerous example, this is unforgivable.
00:59:11Fetch my way.
00:59:11The Supreme Blossom banquet will be held at the beginning of next month.
00:59:20This year, all the nobles and dignitaries will be in attendance.
00:59:23Everything must be prepared perfectly.
00:59:25Your majesty, rest assured.
00:59:27I will spare no effort in ensuring its success.
00:59:31You insolent servant.
00:59:33How dare you disturb his majesty?
00:59:35His majesty?
00:59:36His humble mate 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?
00:59:50His humble mate 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 Cabell.
01:00:13And I got wish for him to suffer punishment on my account.
01:00:17Since you're 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?
01:00:28You 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...
01:01:10This humble subject admits her fault!
01:01:13I've 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...
01:01:23This 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.
01:01:39How 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...
01:01:47It was this wretched maid...
01:01:48She told me...
01:01:50To seduce his majesty...
01:01:52And this is why I lost my composure.
01:01:54Lady Calvel...
01:01:55It was clear to you!
01:01:56Simon!
01:01:56If it weren't for your manipulation...
01:01:58How could I have spoken so recklessly before the Empress Dowager?
01:02:00The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox...
01:02:02Has spread rumors and caused trouble.
01:02:04Take her away and sell her at once!
01:02:06The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox...
01:02:09Has 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 family!
01:02:22How dare you!
01:02:22Anna Caldwell...
01:02:23I 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...
01:02:28And still dare to dream of becoming Empress.
01:02:31You are sentenced to one year in the Office of Discipline...
01:02:33To reflect on your actions.
01:02:34This Office of Discipline...
01:02:35No!
01:02:36Your 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 down to punish you?
01:03:08Of course not!
01:03:09Her majesty wishes 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.
01:04:07All right.
01:04:08Get moving, all of you.
01:04:16If 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!
01:04:57In 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, 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 of noble birth.
01:05:32Were it not for this temporary misfortune, you wouldn't even be worthy to speak to me.
01:05:41My 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.
01:05:47Evelyn Sterling.
01:05:49Evelyn Sterling.
01:05:51Evelyn 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, and trusting you at the banquet's organization was indeed a wide choice.
01:06:05Many thanks for your majesty's praise.
01:06:07Your majesty!
01:06:08Terrible news!
01:06:09The Office of Discipline is on fire!
01:06:11What?
01:06:12Sir, what is the situation inside?
01:06:17Sir, 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.
01:06:31Your majesty!
01:06:35Your majesty!
01:06:40This humble subject has come to realize my mistakes.
01:06:43I beg you to spare me from this punishment.
01:06:45The 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?
01:07:12No.
01:07:14This humble subject.
01:07:16Humbly obeys your majesty's decree.
01:07:18I shall depart for the marriage of Lai's 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.
01:07:41I remember.
01:07:42Josephine is your sister.
01:07:44Tell 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.
01:07:59Since you have agreed to the marriage alliance, then so be it.
01:08:04Let's go back.
01:08:07Thank you for your grace.
01:08:09Evelyn Sterling.
01:08:20I thought you had sword height already.
01:08:24Turns out, you'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.
01:08:32About that...
01:08:34I will make sure you pay it.
01:08:45Edmund, let me out, please.
01:08:49This is driving me crazy.
01:08:51You don't get to complain.
01:08:57If it weren't for you and Josephine, two fools, I wouldn't have offended his majesty and lost my position.
01:09:04It's all Josephine's fault.
01:09:06Husband!
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, you still have the guts to come back?
01:09:22Edmund, it's all because Evelyn.
01:09:25Instead of blaming each other here, we should think how to get back at her.
01:09:30Get back at her?
01:09:32She's like royalty now.
01:09:34How'd you get back at her, huh?
01:09:36I saw her once at the Office of Discipline.
01:09:39She was wearing a lonely palace-based uniform.
01:09:43I don't think she's royal.
01:09:45A palace maid?
01:09:47Could it be that His Majesty married her on a whim?
01:09:50Totally!
01:09:51If His Majesty really liked her, why would she be wearing that uniform?
01:09:55Spring Blossom Banquet is coming.
01:09:58All the nobles will 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, I'll impress everyone.
01:10:20As long as I win the Empress Dowager's favor, our family will rise again.
01:10:24It's gonna be all nobles and high officials.
01:10:48Check everything thoroughly.
01:10:50We cannot afford to any mistakes.
01:10:54Oh, stop worrying.
01:10:56We've confirmed every detail multiple times already.
01:10:59There won't be any problems.
01:11:00Let's hope so.
01:11:03Avalyn!
01:11:04Avalyn, if you like these pastries, I can get you more.
01:11:16I'm glad this is a remote area with no patrols.
01:11:25Otherwise, I can't meet like this.
01:11:27Avalyn, once the banquet ends, wait for me here.
01:11:41I got something to tell you.
01:11:43All right.
01:11:44I'll wait for you here.
01:11:45Okay.
01:11:45Husband, look over there.
01:11:59Avalyn, and a palace guard.
01:12:05Oh, right.
01:12:06You're on duty today.
01:12:08Let's hurry back.
01:12:11Remember, wait for me here.
01:12:13Okay.
01:12:14Take 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, and now, you're ready with the guard.
01:12:38This is the Imperial Palace, not your place, all right?
01:12:41Everything you do here is washed by his majesty in the Empress Gowager.
01:12:45You were just released.
01:12:47Have 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.
01:12:55If you serve us well, I may reward you.
01:12:59If not, you'll get kicked out.
01:13:01You were lucky to have got 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.
01:13:14From head to toe.
01:13:17Greetings, Empress Gowager.
01:13:18Greetings, Empress Gowager.
01:13:30Evelyn.
01:13:32Preparing the banquet must be exhausting.
01:13:35Once 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.
01:14:01If 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 them on seeing him.
01:14:28If this matter deserves punishment, please spare the guard's life.
01:14:33Huh?
01:14:34Since neither of you are innocent.
01:14:36Your 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.
01:15:00But Evelyn, for organizing the banquet, put in great effort.
01:15:05She's 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.
01:15:13Farewell, Your Highness.
01:15:28She escaped again.
01:15:30Why 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?
01:15:37Since she's in charge of the banquet, we can just...
01:15:44Your Majesty, the 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 the truth before the banquet.
01:15:58Go tell Evelyn.
01:15:59To meet me will reward before.
01:16:01What?
01:16:04Eunuch Langley.
01:16:06Come here.
01:16:08Sir, get back.
01:16:15What'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.
01:16:25Someone is waiting for you in that courtyard.
01:16:26Go.
01:16:27Who is it?
01:16:31Assassins, protect the Empress dowager.
01:16:36What's going on inside?
01:16:37An assassin disguised as a dancer.
01:16:39Lord Montague took the blow for Her Majesty, and 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 to the judicial court.
01:16:51What?
01:16:51Me?
01:16:52Me?
01:16:52Me?
01:16:52Me?
01:16:53Me?
01:16:53Me?
01:16:53Me?
01:16:59My lord, he's the suspect.
01:17:01Maid Evelyn Sterling.
01:17:03He's the Prime Minister.
01:17:04So, she's the one who harmed Dana.
01:17:07Chancellor Cobb-Wall.
01:17:09She was in charge of the palace banquet.
01:17:11How dare you?
01:17:13How 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, you were secretly meeting with the guard.
01:17:28You were so affectionate that you just ignore everything around you.
01:17:32What?
01:17:33Is this true?
01:17:34Chancellor, I can testify.
01:17:36That very guard is still at the Ministry of Rights.
01:17:38Someone bring that guard here.
01:17:40I will get to the bottom of this.
01:17:42Why hasn't Evelyn come yet?
01:18:01Lucas.
01:18:02Sir, here's the guard.
01:18:04Are you alright, Lucas?
01:18:05Evelyn Sterling.
01:18:09How do you plead?
01:18:10Please investigate thoroughly.
01:18:12Since there's an assassin, it's my fault indeed.
01:18:14I only beg you not to implicate anyone else.
01:18:16The palace is heavily guarded.
01:18:18An outsider could never get in.
01:18:20Evelyn must have secretly colluded with the assassin.
01:18:23If not, for my husband's great reaction.
01:18:25You should have been executed by now.
01:18:28Chancellor Campbell.
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.
01:18:53Chesler, we broke over water.
01:18:55Chesler, I'm begging.
01:18:57Chesler.
01:18:58Chesler, don't.
01:18:59Chesler, please.
01:19:01Chesler.
01:19:03Lucas, I'm sorry.
01:19:05It's not my fault.
01:19:06I'm so sorry.
01:19:25Stop now.
01:19:26Don't you dare touch her.
01:19:28Long live your majesty.
01:19:33Long live your majesty.
01:19:37Long live your majesty.
01:19:39How dare you condemning the innocent without discerning right from wrong.
01:19:47This is totally outrageous.
01:19:49You keep going against Evelyn at every turn.
01:19:58Today, if I weren't here, you would have gotten your way.
01:20:02Your majesty, I didn't meant to hurt my sister.
01:20:05Your majesty, Evelyn was in charge of the banquet, but she allowed assassins in to hurt the Empress Starwager.
01:20:11I beg you.
01:20:11Your majesty issue an order at once to imprison her for further interrogation.
01:20:15Chesler Gull was right.
01:20:16If it weren't for my husband's presence today, the Empress Starwager might not have survived.
01:20:20Your majesty, my life is of no consequence, but Evelyn must be punished.
01:20:26Your majesty, my life is of no consequence, but Evelyn must be punished.
01:20:30If this happens again, who will protect the palace?
01:20:37Police.
01:20:38You must punish Evelyn.
01:20:40Adrian Montague, are you making decisions for me?
01:20:43The Empress Starwager has been traumatized today.
01:20:46If your majesty doesn't punish Evelyn, what 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.
01:20:56Is that so?
01:21:03If I have evidence that Evelyn's innocent, what 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, bring them to me.
01:21:31Your majesty is wise.
01:21:33Following your orders, I've ready arranged for guards to capture the assassin.
01:21:38Your majesty, spare me.
01:21:40The assassination was all Josephine and Andrew's idea.
01:21:43I was truly forced into it.
01:21:44Your majesty, spare me.
01:21:45Your majesty, please spare me.
01:21:46It's over.
01:21:47It's all over.
01:21:49Guards, take Nicholas away.
01:21:51Your majesty, I've been serving the royals for decades.
01:21:56I'm absolutely loyal.
01:21:58Your majesty, please don't do this to me.
01:22:01Your 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 was all Adrian's idea.
01:22:19And taking the flu was all part of this act.
01:22:21Your majesty.
01:22:22Damn it.
01:22:23How dare you betray me.
01:22:25Enough.
01:22:26Adrian Montague, Josephine Sterling, as masterminds, will be executed right now.
01:22:32Law, Catherine, in the judicial court.
01:22:37Wait for further orders.
01:22:39Your majesty.
01:22:40Your majesty.
01:22:41Please give me a chance, your majesty.
01:22:43Your majesty.
01:22:43Your majesty.
01:22:44Daddy, I hate you.
01:22:45If that were you, all of this would have been mine.
01:22:48Your love.
01:22:50It's all because of yourself, not me.
01:22:54You brought all of this upon yourself.
01:22:56You brought all of this upon yourself.
01:23:26Your highness.
01:23:27You can finally be together.
01:23:31My highness.
01:23:33From today onward, I will make you empress.
01:23:42Starting today, the concubines will be dismissed.
01:23:45The harem only has one leader.
01:23:50And that will be my empress.
01:23:53British!
01:23:54Long live, your highness.
