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...
00:00:41Sister...
00:00:42Why...
00:00:43Why?
00:00:44Don't call me Sister!
00:00:45You are unworthy.
00:00:46We are both daughters of the Sterling family!
00:00:48Why should you live better than me?
00:00:50If only Adrian Montag caught my bridlepreh creatures from three years ago.
00:00:55He Beyond
00:00:56A slow recovery is nothing but an illusion.
00:01:03If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.
00:01:26Master, I have already spread the word.
00:01:33The noblemen from all around have heard that our daughters of the Sterling family are seeking husbands and are eager to compete for them.
00:01:40For a son-in-law of our family, at the very least, he must be a man of great status.
00:01:44You two better aim at the right man. Whichever of you marries well shall bring glory to our family.
00:01:49Have I been reborn to 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.
00:02:12Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.
00:02:17Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me!
00:02:23Lady Josephine, come on!
00:02:25In 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.
00:02:50Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank and I shall become a noble lady of honor!
00:02:56Josephine, you have schemed relentlessly.
00:03:00But 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.
00:03:19Sister, what do you say?
00:03:23You are truly fortunate. As your sister, I am happy for you.
00:03:28Evelyn, Lady Luck is with me this time.
00:03:32In this life, I will never let you overshadow me again.
00:03:41That is...
00:03:43Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:03:47Master, if the Empress tower 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, you starlings are still the bridal ball for marriage!
00:04:03Let's have a look.
00:04:05In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal ball.
00:04:08I had to run away and then suffer a lot.
00:04:10This time, I shall let you taste the pain of being abandoned by your own kin.
00:04:16Master, our family has now secured ties with the Montagues.
00:04:20Evelyn, now it's your turn.
00:04:23And 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.
00:04:37Powerful or not, rich or not, it's only written on water.
00:04:46In this life, I seek only a true companion to live a peaceful life till the end.
00:04:51It's him.
00:04:52It's him.
00:04:53It's him.
00:04:54The beggar.
00:04:55That Josephine ran away from.
00:04:56It's him.
00:04:57It's him.
00:04:58The beggar.
00:04:59That Josephine ran away from.
00:05:00Oh no.
00:05:01It actually went to a beggar.
00:05:02Sister.
00:05:03What terrible luck you have.
00:05:04A beggar out of so many people down there.
00:05:05How do you expect father to hold his head high?
00:05:06Damn it.
00:05:07With so many people down there, how could you cast it to a beggar?
00:05:09Are you deliberately trying to shame me?
00:05:10What's done is done, sister.
00:05:11Do not be too upset.
00:05:12Though he is...
00:05:13No, he is.
00:05:14I'm not.
00:05:15I'm not.
00:05:16I'm not.
00:05:17I'm not.
00:05:18I'm not.
00:05:19I'm not.
00:05:20I'm not.
00:05:21I'm not.
00:05:22I'm not.
00:05:23I'm not.
00:05:24I'm not.
00:05:25I'm not.
00:05:26I'm not.
00:05:27I'm not.
00:05:28I'm not.
00:05:29I'm not.
00:05:30I'm not.
00:05:31I'm not.
00:05:32I'm not.
00:05:33I'm not.
00:05:34You're not.
00:05:35I'm not.
00:05:36You're not.
00:05:37It's so sad.
00:05:38Though he is of lowly birth, but look.
00:05:39At least he got a pretty face.
00:05:41It is only a pity for you, sister, raising comfort and luxury.
00:05:44But now bound to a beggar.
00:05:45You shall have to labor yourself to earn your bread.
00:05:49Now this will be quite the spectacle.
00:05:51The esteemed Lady Evelyn will marry a beggar.
00:05:53Everyone is watching.
00:05:54If she refuses, it's going to ruin their credit.
00:05:57Who would associate with them more?
00:05:59Hey, hey, hey, seize her. Don't let her escape.
00:06:05Master, how did this bridal ball end up in your hands?
00:06:08What should we do now? It's the Scottish.
00:06:11I'm dressed in such rags.
00:06:13She won't agree.
00:06:17Sister, why are you running?
00:06:20You cast the bridal ball yourself.
00:06:22You damn girl.
00:06:24Look at the filthy beggar you've got.
00:06:26If he becomes my son-in-law, it's going to be a huge disgrace to us.
00:06:33In my past life, I was mistreated by the Montagues and used for Sterling's ambitions.
00:06:39Thinking back now, perhaps marrying a beggar would be a better fate.
00:06:43The rule of the bridal ball is binding.
00:06:46Since he caught the ball, you should...
00:06:48I am willing to marry him.
00:06:50My name is Evelyn Sterling.
00:07:01What's yours?
00:07:03I am Luke...
00:07:04Lucas Prescott.
00:07:07With all present as my witnesses today,
00:07:14I, Evelyn Sterling,
00:07:16willing to take Lucas Prescott as my husband.
00:07:24Are you serious?
00:07:27Yeah.
00:07:29The ball is in your hands.
00:07:31You want to...
00:07:32reject me?
00:07:34I didn't.
00:07:36It's just that I'm poor as hell.
00:07:38Marrying me would mean a life of uncertainty.
00:07:41Are you sure?
00:07:43We're not disabled or something.
00:07:46We may be poor now,
00:07:47but we can always earn our money.
00:07:50We can work hard
00:07:51to make a living ourselves.
00:07:54I've never seen someone so easily content.
00:07:57He's just a filthy beggar!
00:07:59You're really gonna marry him?
00:08:01Evelyn,
00:08:01you'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
00:08:16and good manner.
00:08:18He's gonna make a difference, maybe.
00:08:20You are...
00:08:21Rule is rule.
00:08:23You're not eating your words,
00:08:25are you, sir?
00:08:25Indeed.
00:08:26If he refuses,
00:08:28that's breaking the rules
00:08:29and gonna ruin their reputation.
00:08:30Seems well.
00:08:31She has to marry him.
00:08:32Indeed, marry him!
00:08:33Indeed, marry him!
00:08:34Indeed, marry him!
00:08:35Since you want to marry him,
00:08:37don't blame us in the future.
00:08:39You won't get a share
00:08:41of the coming glory of us.
00:08:43I understand.
00:08:44The matchmaking is concluded.
00:08:47Everyone disperse.
00:08:48Sister,
00:08:52no hard feelings.
00:08:55But marrying a beggar
00:08:57means you will spend your life beneath me.
00:09:01You should worry about yourself.
00:09:04Life with the Montague's
00:09:05is not as easy as you imagine.
00:09:08You...
00:09:09In three days,
00:09:22remember to come to propose.
00:09:23It's her or Mother's pressing,
00:09:25so I might as well...
00:09:27All right!
00:09:28I'll be there.
00:09:29Today,
00:09:35the second daughter
00:09:35of the Sarlene family
00:09:36is to be wed.
00:09:38Her dowry includes
00:09:39a pair of gold phoenix hairpins
00:09:40and laid with precious gems,
00:09:42plenty of boats
00:09:43of fine brocade,
00:09:44three land deeds
00:09:45for silk shops
00:09:46in the Eastern District.
00:09:47Lady Josephine Sterling's
00:09:48salary is worth a fortune,
00:09:50yet Lady Evelyn Sterling
00:09:51has nothing at all.
00:09:52They're both daughters
00:09:53of the Sarlene family,
00:09:54but the difference
00:09:54between them is astonishing.
00:09:56Sister,
00:09:57after marrying a beggar,
00:09:58you will likely toil
00:09:59for the rest of your life.
00:10:00I wonder if you can
00:10:01even endure such life.
00:10:11It's the bridegroom.
00:10:12The bridegroom has arrived.
00:10:15Oh,
00:10:16as expected of the second son
00:10:18of the Montague family,
00:10:19the spectacle is grand indeed.
00:10:21Of course,
00:10:21the Montagues
00:10:22hold immense power.
00:10:23Marrying into their family,
00:10:24Lady Josephine Sterling
00:10:25will live a life
00:10:26of endless luxury.
00:10:27Unlike Evelyn,
00:10:28marrying a beggar,
00:10:29this will certainly
00:10:30be an interesting sight
00:10:30to behold.
00:10:32My respects to my honor,
00:10:33father and mother-in-law.
00:10:34Please rise,
00:10:35my son-in-law.
00:10:35My son-in-law.
00:10:36Such an elaborate
00:10:37wedding procession
00:10:39is a spectacle
00:10:39worthy of Highgate.
00:10:41For our dear Josephine
00:10:42to be regarded
00:10:43so highly by you
00:10:44is an honor
00:10:45to the Sterling family.
00:10:50Sister,
00:10:51the auspicious hour
00:10:52is nearly over.
00:10:53Why has your husband
00:10:53not come for you?
00:10:54Could it be that
00:10:55he's not coming at all?
00:11:04I,
00:11:04your humble son-in-law,
00:11:05greet my honored
00:11:06father-in-law.
00:11:12My lady.
00:11:17My lady.
00:11:18Are you here to beg
00:11:19for the alms
00:11:19or take a bride?
00:11:21Dressed in such rags,
00:11:22do you not feel ashamed?
00:11:23Compared to Lord Montague,
00:11:25you're as far apart
00:11:26as heaven and earth.
00:11:28Just what are you wearing?
00:11:29In front of so many
00:11:31esteemed officials,
00:11:32are you not bringing
00:11:33shame upon me?
00:11:34Today is your wedding day.
00:11:36And yet you came
00:11:37dressed like this?
00:11:38Do you not find
00:11:39this is a disgrace?
00:11:40Do you not find
00:11:41this humiliating?
00:11:42Marriage is a lifelong
00:11:43commitment,
00:11:44building upon sincerity,
00:11:45not mere appearances.
00:11:46The man I,
00:11:47Evelyn Sterling,
00:11:48have chosen
00:11:48is not one whose worth
00:11:50can be swayed
00:11:50by idle words.
00:11:51Have you not
00:11:52embarrassed us enough?
00:11:54Dear master,
00:11:55do not be anchored.
00:11:57From the moment
00:11:57Evelyn steps beyond
00:11:59this threshold,
00:12:00she'll no longer
00:12:01be a Sterling.
00:12:02The auspicious hour
00:12:03has arrived.
00:12:04Bring the bride
00:12:05to the carriage.
00:12:13This is the...
00:12:15Congratulations,
00:12:18Master Sterling.
00:12:19Your son-in-law
00:12:20is truly an
00:12:20exceptional man.
00:12:24Many thanks,
00:12:25Deputy Minister.
00:12:26Please come inside.
00:12:27Off to you.
00:12:30Surely you didn't
00:12:31arrive on foot today.
00:12:32On such a big day,
00:12:35will you have
00:12:35the bride walk
00:12:36all the way
00:12:37to your home?
00:12:39Unheard of.
00:12:40Indeed.
00:12:41Not like my husband.
00:12:46My lady,
00:12:47please,
00:12:48allow me to
00:12:49take you home.
00:13:02Bow to the heavens
00:13:09and the earth.
00:13:11Is this the place
00:13:12they've found us
00:13:13to live in?
00:13:14Mm-mm.
00:13:14Bow to the elders.
00:13:20A shabby place like this,
00:13:21is it even fit for living?
00:13:22I just didn't want you
00:13:24to blow your cover.
00:13:24Mm-mm.
00:13:25And bow to each other
00:13:26as husband and wife.
00:13:28The ceremony
00:13:35is complete!
00:13:38My lady,
00:13:39I have put you
00:13:40through hardship,
00:13:41having a life with me
00:13:42in such a shabby place.
00:13:43Not at all.
00:13:44I actually think
00:13:46it's rather spacious.
00:13:48At least,
00:13:49it shields us
00:13:49from the wind and rain.
00:13:52If we work hard
00:13:53from now on,
00:13:53keep this place tidy,
00:13:55it'll soon feel
00:13:56much more comfortable.
00:13:56At this moment,
00:13:58I have nothing
00:13:59of value to give you.
00:14:01The shade pendant
00:14:02was left to me
00:14:03by my father.
00:14:04I've carried it
00:14:05with me all these years.
00:14:07And now,
00:14:08I'm giving it
00:14:09to you.
00:14:14It's so precious.
00:14:16Are you certain of it?
00:14:20All right.
00:14:21I will cherish it well.
00:14:26You're up.
00:14:49Breakfast is ready
00:14:50for you.
00:14:51Hi.
00:14:55Where are you going?
00:14:57Today is the
00:14:58wife's homecoming day.
00:14:59I made telemeds
00:15:00from my parents,
00:15:01but they're not
00:15:01quite finished.
00:15:02I need to buy
00:15:02some more threats
00:15:03and complete them
00:15:04before I return home.
00:15:05All right.
00:15:06I'll go with you.
00:15:07All right.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:14Greetings,
00:15:15your ma-
00:15:15Greetings,

00:15:21Greetings,
00:15:21your ma-
00:15:22Who are they?
00:15:27The palace is too
00:15:28complicated.
00:15:29Once everything's settled,
00:15:30I'll reveal my identity
00:15:31to Evelyn.
00:15:32They are...
00:15:33They're here for Victor.
00:15:37Hmm.
00:15:38Yes, yes.
00:15:42I used to serve
00:15:43in the palace.
00:15:44These are all
00:15:44old acquaintances.
00:15:46Evelyn,
00:15:49I'll help Victor
00:15:50to entertain the guests.
00:15:51Will you be all right
00:15:52buying threat on your own?
00:15:54Yes.
00:15:56Hmm.
00:16:08Speak!
00:16:09What happened?
00:16:10The Empress Dowager
00:16:10distressed over
00:16:11your majesty's presence
00:16:12and suddenly collapsed.
00:16:13What?
00:16:14Victor,
00:16:14stay here
00:16:15and protect Evelyn.
00:16:16Let's head back.
00:16:17Yes,

00:16:18Get someone
00:16:19to deliver
00:16:20some valuable gifts
00:16:20to Sterling Estate.

00:16:23Evelyn's homecoming gift.
00:16:24Yes,
00:16:24your majesty.
00:16:25Let's go!
00:16:26Father,
00:16:27mother,
00:16:28your daughter
00:16:29has returned.
00:16:31Father?
00:16:32Why has sister
00:16:34returned alone?
00:16:34Why has sister returned alone?
00:16:39Today is your homecoming day.
00:16:42Sister,
00:16:42why have you returned alone?
00:16:44Are you ashamed
00:16:45of your beggar husband?
00:16:47So you didn't even
00:16:48bring him to meet the family?
00:16:49My husband wanted to come,
00:16:51but something urgent
00:16:52came up.
00:16:53Since being married
00:16:54to the beggar,
00:16:55Lady Evelyn Sterling,
00:16:56must have suffered
00:16:57a great deal.
00:16:58You look much frailer
00:16:59than before.
00:17:01Had you not married
00:17:02that filthy beggar,
00:17:04perhaps I would have
00:17:04taken you as a concubine.
00:17:06At least you wouldn't
00:17:06have fallen to such a state.
00:17:08That will not be necessary.
00:17:10I am living well.
00:17:11As of for you,
00:17:12sister,
00:17:13it has been quite a few days
00:17:14since you had seen
00:17:15your husband before.
00:17:16You...
00:17:17Screw you,
00:17:19Adrian.
00:17:19Went drinking with
00:17:20corsets on our wedding night
00:17:22and now everyone knows
00:17:23we are utterly humiliating me.
00:17:25Josephine.
00:17:30Father,
00:17:31mother.
00:17:32Greetings to you both.
00:17:34Greetings to you both.
00:17:36You've returned alone.
00:17:37How can you still
00:17:38have the face to come back?
00:17:39What does your husband
00:17:40do all day?
00:17:41Not even accompanying you
00:17:43for your homecoming.
00:17:44Mother,
00:17:45you're thinking
00:17:46too highly of her.
00:17:47That filthy beggar
00:17:48is probably begging
00:17:49in the streets right now.
00:17:51How could he possibly
00:17:52compare to my husband?
00:17:54Father-in-law,
00:17:56your humble son-in-law
00:17:56has brought a small gift.
00:18:03Our dear Josephine
00:18:04has truly found herself
00:18:06a fine husband.
00:18:07For our daughter
00:18:07to marry such a fine gentleman,
00:18:09it must be the blessing
00:18:10she has earned
00:18:11over eight lifetimes.
00:18:12Unlike someone
00:18:14who chose a beggar
00:18:15as her husband,
00:18:16our sterling family
00:18:17has raised you
00:18:18for so many years
00:18:19and yet you come back
00:18:20empty-handed
00:18:21on your homecoming day.
00:18:23Indeed, sister.
00:18:25This is my homecoming gift.
00:18:27Have you fallen into
00:18:28such poverty
00:18:29that you cannot even afford
00:18:30a proper homecoming gift?
00:18:31Father,
00:18:39mother,
00:18:40these are the two
00:18:41protective talamans
00:18:42I made for you by hand.
00:18:43A blessing to you both.
00:18:44Wishing you peace
00:18:45and prosperity.
00:18:45Get out!
00:18:51What a disgrace!
00:18:53Sister,
00:18:54is this truly
00:18:55what you've brought?
00:18:56A few scraps of cloth
00:18:57with embroidery.
00:18:59How dare you present these?
00:19:01Well,
00:19:01she did marry a beggar.
00:19:03So her gift
00:19:03befits her status perfectly.
00:19:06Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:19:07Oh, right.
00:19:08She has married a beggar.
00:19:10What else
00:19:10could we expect from her?
00:19:11Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:19:13Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:19:15Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:19:18Master,
00:19:18Madam,
00:19:19someone from the palace
00:19:20has arrived with gifts.
00:19:21They say they are
00:19:21the homecoming gifts
00:19:22from Lady Evelyn.
00:19:27Master Shirley,
00:19:28who exactly
00:19:28has your eldest daughter
00:19:30married a mountain nobility?
00:19:31Even the palace
00:19:31saw fit to have me
00:19:32personally deliver
00:19:33these gifts to you.
00:19:34You must hold
00:19:34great influence indeed.
00:19:36Gifts from the palace?
00:19:37Then it must be
00:19:38from his majesty himself.
00:19:39It was personally
00:19:40arranged by the chief eunuch
00:19:41at his majesty's side.
00:19:42He said,
00:19:43for the Starling family's
00:19:45eldest daughter.
00:19:49Oh,
00:19:49Mr. Ashford,
00:19:52you must be mistaken.
00:19:54All of Highgate knows
00:19:55that Evelyn
00:19:56married a beggar.
00:19:58How could she possibly
00:19:59have ties to anyone
00:20:01in the palace?
00:20:02Oh,
00:20:03this must surely
00:20:04be a courtesy
00:20:05to young
00:20:07Master Montague.
00:20:08Ha ha ha ha.
00:20:10Indeed,
00:20:11in this world,
00:20:12those seeking favor
00:20:13with the Montague family
00:20:14are countless.
00:20:15Even those in the palace
00:20:16are paying their respects.
00:20:18Father-in-law,
00:20:19please accept with joy.
00:20:20Ha ha ha ha.
00:20:22Josephine
00:20:22has married
00:20:23a remarkable husband.
00:20:25Just look at the grandeur
00:20:26of her homecoming.
00:20:27Such lavish gifts.
00:20:29Our Sterling family
00:20:30is truly honored
00:20:30beyond measure.
00:20:32Ha ha ha ha.
00:20:33The gifts
00:20:34have been delivered.
00:20:35I shall take my leave.
00:20:37Oh,
00:20:37take care.
00:20:38Take care.
00:20:39Sister,
00:20:42my husband
00:20:43has prepared
00:20:43two sets
00:20:44of homecoming gifts.
00:20:45Seeing all these,
00:20:46do you not feel ashamed?
00:20:48It's not about
00:20:49the quality of gifts,
00:20:50but the sincerity
00:20:50behind them.
00:20:51I see nothing
00:20:52inappropriate in this.
00:20:53I've poured my heart
00:20:55and effort
00:20:55into raising you,
00:20:56and yet,
00:20:56not only did you
00:20:57marry a beggar,
00:20:58but you even bring back
00:20:59these worthless rags
00:21:00to disgrace me.
00:21:01The Sterling family
00:21:01has no place
00:21:02for such a disgraceful daughter.
00:21:05Simply because
00:21:05I married Lucas,
00:21:07you feel justified
00:21:08to humiliate me like this.
00:21:09Josephine acts
00:21:10in the best interest
00:21:11of the Sterling family,
00:21:12unlike you
00:21:12who married a beggar
00:21:14bringing disgrace
00:21:15upon us all.
00:21:17Disgrace?
00:21:19It's only because
00:21:20Josephine married
00:21:21into wealth
00:21:21that you so readily
00:21:23indulge her.
00:21:24Insolent, child!
00:21:25Such outrageous defiance!
00:21:26Who has put
00:21:27these ideas in your head?
00:21:28Is it not the truth?
00:21:31In your eyes,
00:21:33a daughter is nothing
00:21:34more than a pawn
00:21:35to look at your power
00:21:36and favor.
00:21:37Outrageous!
00:21:38How dare you
00:21:39speak to your father
00:21:41in such a manner!
00:21:45A dragon jade pendant?
00:21:49Outrageous!
00:21:51And now,
00:21:52I must inform
00:21:52his majesty.
00:21:55Give it back to me!
00:21:57This jade pendant
00:21:58looks of fine quality.
00:22:01From where did you
00:22:02steal it, sister?
00:22:03It is from Lucas.
00:22:05Give it back!
00:22:08That wretched beggar?
00:22:09He will never
00:22:10possess such
00:22:11a fine pendant.
00:22:12He must have
00:22:13stolen it from somewhere.
00:22:15Would right have you
00:22:15to make such
00:22:16rash accusations.
00:22:17Lucas may not be
00:22:18of noble birth
00:22:18like you,
00:22:19but you believe
00:22:20that possessing
00:22:20a jade pendant
00:22:21is a rightful due.
00:22:22Yet Lucas is not
00:22:22worthy of the same.
00:22:23A worthless beggar's gift
00:22:25and you treat it
00:22:26like a treasure.
00:22:26How ignorant.
00:22:28You want the pendant?
00:22:29Very well.
00:22:30But you must
00:22:31sever all ties
00:22:32with the Sterlings.
00:22:34You...
00:22:37Father,
00:22:40will you truly
00:22:40indulge
00:22:41Josephine's audacity?
00:22:43Am I not
00:22:44also your daughter?
00:22:45You insisted
00:22:46on marrying
00:22:47a beggar.
00:22:48Bringing shame
00:22:49upon the Sterling family,
00:22:50you are unworthy
00:22:51to be my daughter.
00:22:52On this day forth,
00:22:53I have only one daughter,
00:22:55Josephine!
00:22:55For the rest of my life,
00:23:04I seek only to be
00:23:05with the one
00:23:06who is true of heart.
00:23:07Even if I must live
00:23:08on plain fair,
00:23:09it is better than
00:23:10enduring cold disdain
00:23:12in the Sterlings.
00:23:13Since that is the case...
00:23:14Hi, Evelyn Sterling.
00:23:25Severe all ties
00:23:27with the Sterling family.
00:23:29We're here and forth,
00:23:30strangers.
00:23:31All for the sake
00:23:41of a worthless beggar.
00:23:43You would sever ties
00:23:44with us?
00:23:45It is fortunate
00:23:46we never placed
00:23:47our hopes in you.
00:23:51Is that not what
00:23:52Father has always
00:23:53thought of?
00:23:53Why should I remain here
00:23:54only to be
00:23:55an eyesore to him?
00:23:56Hold it.
00:23:59Now that you wish
00:24:00to leave,
00:24:01I fear it is too late.
00:24:03Guards!
00:24:04Bring the burning charcoal
00:24:06from the kitchen.
00:24:07Scatter them
00:24:07across the floor.
00:24:09What are you trying to do?
00:24:12Your Majesty,
00:24:13something here
00:24:14of course happened.
00:24:14Lady Evelyn
00:24:15was humiliated
00:24:15at the Sterling estate.
00:24:22One's body and soul
00:24:23are bestowed
00:24:23by One's parents.
00:24:25If you wish
00:24:25to sever ties,
00:24:27you must first
00:24:27repay your parents' kindness.
00:24:30My Lady speaks
00:24:31most reasonably.
00:24:32Given your current state,
00:24:33it would be far too much
00:24:34to expect that you present
00:24:35anything of great value.
00:24:37Then you have no choice
00:24:38but to walk barefoot
00:24:39across this bed
00:24:40of burning charcoal.
00:24:43It is pleasing so fiercely.
00:24:45How could anyone
00:24:46survive walking across them?
00:24:47I will not walk.
00:24:50Oh?
00:24:51It seems, dear sister,
00:24:53that you no longer
00:24:54want this jade pendant.
00:24:57Stop!
00:25:00Lucas is the only one
00:25:02who has ever treated me well.
00:25:04This jade pendant
00:25:04was left to him
00:25:05by his parents.
00:25:06Farewell.
00:25:07I will never allow
00:25:08his heartfelt gift
00:25:09to be trampled.
00:25:09I will walk.
00:25:11I will walk.
00:25:19I will walk.
00:25:20I will walk.
00:25:20I will walk.
00:25:21I will walk.
00:25:29For the sake of a filthy beggar,
00:25:33you would go to such lengths,
00:25:35you must have lost your mind.
00:25:37For a mere jade pendant,
00:25:39a lady born into privilege
00:25:41would willingly walk
00:25:42across 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
00:25:48to his name
00:25:48but worthless trinkets?
00:25:50This jade pendant
00:25:51is likely
00:25:52his most treasured possession.
00:25:54No wonder
00:25:55your sister
00:25:56cherishes it so.
00:25:57The jade pendant
00:25:59was left to me
00:26:00by my father.
00:26:01I've carried it with me
00:26:02all these years.
00:26:04And now,
00:26:05I'm giving it to you.
00:26:14For me,
00:26:15my lady.
00:26:17Lucas,
00:26:18do not worry.
00:26:20I will reclaim
00:26:20the jade pendant.
00:26:27Can you
00:26:33return the jade pendant
00:26:36to me now?
00:26:38You want it?
00:26:41Then crawl over
00:26:42and take it.
00:26:43As long as you crawl over,
00:26:45this jade pendant
00:26:45will be yours.
00:26:46The jade pendant
00:27:03was left to me
00:27:04by my father.
00:27:04I've carried it
00:27:05with me
00:27:05all these years.
00:27:08And now,
00:27:08I'm giving it to you.
00:27:12All right.
00:27:14I will cherish it, Will.
00:27:15You claim
00:27:40to cherish
00:27:41your love
00:27:42for that filthy beggar.
00:27:44But if you were
00:27:45disfigured,
00:27:46would your dearest
00:27:47husband still want you?
00:27:50Why are you
00:27:51looking at me like that?
00:27:52I have long told you
00:27:54the fate of a woman
00:27:55who wets a beggar
00:27:56can only be one
00:27:57to be trampled upon
00:27:58at will.
00:28:00You exhaust yourself
00:28:01trying to torment me.
00:28:03But do you truly
00:28:04believe you'll get
00:28:05your way?
00:28:07I want you
00:28:08to spend the rest
00:28:09of your days
00:28:10wallowing in the gutter,
00:28:12watching as I rise
00:28:13to become the most
00:28:13esteemed woman
00:28:14in the world?
00:28:24His majesty has arrived!
00:28:32Who dares to lay a hand
00:28:33on my woman?
00:28:37Evelyn,
00:28:38I'm sorry.
00:28:39I'm late.
00:28:39Just leave.
00:28:43Lucas,
00:28:44I didn't lose
00:28:46your drink,
00:28:47pendant.
00:28:52Did they say
00:28:53it was his majesty?
00:28:54How could it be him?
00:28:55That beggar
00:28:56is dressed in
00:28:57such luxurious robes!
00:28:58And those men,
00:28:59aren't they
00:29:00the Imperial Guards?
00:29:01Why would they
00:29:01take orders
00:29:02from a beggar?
00:29:02I heard that
00:29:03filthy beggar's
00:29:03brother once
00:29:04served in the palace.
00:29:05Is it natural
00:29:06for him
00:29:06to procure
00:29:07some robes?
00:29:07That wretch beggar
00:29:08has suffered
00:29:09humiliation
00:29:10last time
00:29:10and now
00:29:11he has come
00:29:11to regain
00:29:12his dignity?
00:29:12What a joke!
00:29:14A mere beggar
00:29:15daring to put on
00:29:16an act
00:29:16in the sterling estate?
00:29:17Look at the
00:29:18fine husband
00:29:18you've chosen.
00:29:19Useless is one
00:29:20thing,
00:29:20but to be
00:29:21so audacious
00:29:22as to steal
00:29:23from the Imperial Palace?
00:29:24If his majesty
00:29:25were to find out,
00:29:26do you really believe
00:29:27you will be spared?
00:29:27You deviant fools.
00:29:28You're doomed!
00:29:32You!
00:29:32What do you think
00:29:33you're doing?
00:29:34Avalyn,
00:29:34come with me.
00:29:36Avalyn,
00:29:37what's wrong?
00:29:47Who did this?
00:29:49Lucas!
00:29:49Yes,
00:29:57it was me!
00:29:58So what?
00:29:58I was only trying
00:29:59to help my dear sister.
00:30:00Who would have thought
00:30:01she would walk
00:30:02barefoot across
00:30:02the burning charcoal?
00:30:04I wonder
00:30:04what she was thinking?
00:30:06Such a fool!
00:30:06Silence!
00:30:07And who do you think
00:30:08you are
00:30:09to dare raise
00:30:10your voice
00:30:10before me?
00:30:11Yes,
00:30:12I'm insulting her
00:30:13because she married
00:30:14a worthless man.
00:30:15I am a noble lady
00:30:16with the Montag family.
00:30:17You are nothing
00:30:18but insects
00:30:19beneath my feet.
00:30:20Even if I were
00:30:20to kill you here
00:30:21and now,
00:30:22you ought to kneel
00:30:23and sack me for it.
00:30:24Let's see how much
00:30:24longer you can keep
00:30:25up this charade.
00:30:26Guards,
00:30:27seize this filthy beggar
00:30:28Neville and Sterling.
00:30:29Wait.
00:30:33How dare you
00:30:34humiliate my lady?
00:30:37Seize them!
00:30:38Seize them!
00:30:42How dare you!
00:30:43I'm Lady Joseph
00:30:44and Montag!
00:30:46The husband,
00:30:47save me!
00:30:48Filthy beggar!
00:30:49Guards!
00:30:49Whoever kills him
00:30:50for me,
00:30:50I shall reward him
00:30:51with ten tails of gold.
00:30:56Insolent, wretch!
00:30:57Lord Montague
00:30:58is of royal lineage!
00:30:59Who dare lay a hand
00:31:00on him,
00:31:00you shall make an enemy
00:31:01of the entire
00:31:02Montague family!
00:31:03And what of it?
00:31:04Anyone who dares
00:31:05to harm my lady
00:31:06shall only have
00:31:07one face,
00:31:08death!
00:31:11You filthy beggar!
00:31:13You're taking this act
00:31:13too far!
00:31:14Before I lose my temper,
00:31:15release me at once!
00:31:16I might disappear
00:31:17your life!
00:31:18You've tortured Evelyn
00:31:19to such wretched state!
00:31:21Press their faces!
00:31:23Straight into the burning charcoal!
00:31:27No!
00:31:27No!
00:31:28No!
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,
00:31:34you are doomed!
00:31:34All right!
00:31:37My brother is an official
00:31:38of the Imperial Court!
00:31:39Do you really think
00:31:40you'll walk away alive?
00:31:41I'd like to see
00:31:42if the judicial court
00:31:44would tolerate this!
00:31:47Carry on!
00:31:49Help!
00:31:49No!
00:31:50Help!
00:31:50No!
00:31:51Don't leave!
00:31:52You wretched fool!
00:31:53If you wish to die,
00:31:54don't drag the stoning family
00:31:56down with you!
00:31:57No!
00:31:58Stop!
00:31:59Brother!
00:32:00Brother, save me!
00:32:01Who 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!
00:32:28Your Majesty!
00:32:30The Emperor!
00:32:34How could this filthy beggar...
00:32:36Brother,
00:32:37don't let this filthy beggar fool you!
00:32:39These clothes he's wearing
00:32:40are all stolen
00:32:40from the Imperial Palace!
00:32:41All these people
00:32:42were bribed by him
00:32:42with 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
00:32:47the wrong person,
00:32:48but he really is
00:32:48a filthy beggar!
00:32:49He can't possibly
00:32:50be the Emperor!
00:32:51That's true!
00:32:52The Emperor
00:32:52couldn't possibly be here!
00:32:54Wretched girl!
00:32:55Look at the fine husband
00:32:56you've chosen!
00:32:58You've offended
00:32:58Lord Montague!
00:32:59I'll see how
00:33:00you plan to end this!
00:33:02My lord,
00:33:03you must uphold
00:33:04justice for us!
00:33:05This filthy beggar
00:33:06and Evelyn Sterling,
00:33:07they defied human ethics,
00:33:09even intended
00:33:09to murder us!
00:33:11Outrageous!
00:33:12At the foot
00:33:13of the Imperial City!
00:33:14How can you act
00:33:14so brazenly?
00:33:15Guards!
00:33:16Take them to the dungeon
00:33:17of the Judicial Court!
00:33:18Interrogate them
00:33:18with torture!
00:33:19Wait!
00:33:21What else
00:33:21do you have to say?
00:33:23Since when?
00:33:24What's this position
00:33:25of Lord Justice Deputy?
00:33:26Yours to assume!
00:33:27You filthy beggar!
00:33:28How could you possibly
00:33:29know about court appointments?
00:33:31My brother
00:33:31was appointed
00:33:32by the Empress Dowager herself!
00:33:34What now?
00:33:34Regret finally sinking in?
00:33:36Even the Empress Dowager
00:33:37was deceived!
00:33:39Your Montague family
00:33:40truly is impressive!
00:33:45Empress Dowager,
00:33:46please speak up
00:33:47for your subject!
00:33:48His Majesty
00:33:49outside the palace
00:33:49married the eldest daughter
00:33:50of the Sterling family!
00:33:51Because that woman
00:33:52His Majesty
00:33:52even lashed out?
00:33:53His Majesty
00:33:54married another woman
00:33:55outside the palace?
00:33:57Guards!
00:33:57The brothers are done!
00:34:01Insolent!
00:34:02How dare you offend
00:34:03the Emperor Dowager?
00:34:04Are you trying
00:34:04to get yourself killed?
00:34:05Lord Montague!
00:34:06Please see clearly!
00:34:08Our Sterling family
00:34:09has long severed ties
00:34:10with Evelyn Sterling!
00:34:11Every word she says
00:34:12has nothing to do with us!
00:34:14That's right, my lord!
00:34:14Our Sterling family
00:34:15has always followed the rules!
00:34:17We would never dare
00:34:18speak against the royal family!
00:34:19Please see the truth, my lord!
00:34:21This person in the early
00:34:21is the capital crime!
00:34:23You must not let them go, my lord!
00:34:24Evelyn Sterling,
00:34:25your dear husband
00:34:25has now committed
00:34:26a heinous crime!
00:34:28No matter who comes today,
00:34:30they cannot save you!
00:34:32I can't...
00:34:33I can't...
00:34:33I can't...
00:34:33Lucas break up your arm!
00:34:34Sparrows, my lord!
00:34:35He didn't mean to offend...
00:34:37Evelyn!
00:34:44Evelyn!
00:34:45Let's go!
00:34:46How dare you!
00:34:47Trying to run?
00:34:48Guards!
00:34:48Stop them!
00:34:49Whoever dares
00:34:49to block us again!
00:34:50Kill 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!
00:35:11Josephine Sterling,
00:35:13why is your heart so vicious?
00:35:15Lucas has no grievance with you,
00:35:16yet you harms him so cruelly!
00:35:17This filthy beggar
00:35:18actually tried to have
00:35:19some disfigure me?
00:35:21Of course I couldn't
00:35:22let you leave!
00:35:23Lucas!
00:35:27Stop looking!
00:35:28Your man won't be here
00:35:29to save you this time!
00:35:30You've got a death wish!
00:35:31Lucas!
00:35:33Well, you still can't...
00:35:35Hurry and go!
00:35:35I can't!
00:35:36Go?
00:35:37You still think
00:35:38he can go?
00:35:40Josephine Sterling,
00:35:41why won't you just let me go?
00:35:46I have to admit...
00:35:48Sister,
00:35:49you're truly fortunate
00:35:50if marrying a beggar
00:35:51you still found true love.
00:35:53What a pity!
00:35:54The more you're like this,
00:35:55the more impossible it is
00:35:56for me to let you have your way!
00:35:58You...
00:35:58Josephine,
00:35:59the grudge between us
00:36:01should not involve others!
00:36:03You can do whatever you want
00:36:04to me!
00:36:05I beg you,
00:36:06let Lucas go,
00:36:08please!
00:36:08Avalyn,
00:36:09you don't need to
00:36:10waste your breath on her!
00:36:10I can't drag you into this!
00:36:12How touching!
00:36:14Even at a time like this!
00:36:16You still have time
00:36:17to flirt with this filthy beggar?
00:36:19Since your feeling runs so deep,
00:36:22I might as well
00:36:22send you both
00:36:23to death together!
00:36:26What are you waiting for?
00:36:28Die!
00:36:29I will watch out!
00:36:32The Emperor Stowager has arrived!
00:36:34I'd like to see
00:36:35who dares harm my royal son!
00:36:40He really is the Emperor?
00:36:43He...
00:36:45He really is the Emperor?
00:36:47Avalyn!
00:36:47Avalyn!
00:36:48Imperial physician!
00:36:49Call the Imperial physician!
00:36:51Your Majesty!
00:36:52Victor Lanley,
00:36:53I ordered her immediately
00:36:54to send her back
00:36:55for treatment.
00:36:56If anything happens to her,
00:36:57I'll make sure you pay!
00:36:58You're severed, her base!
00:36:58Come, come, come!
00:37:00Hurry!
00:37:03Your Majesty,
00:37:04all members of the Starling family
00:37:05have been arrested.
00:37:07Your Majesty?
00:37:08Your...
00:37:09Your Majesty?
00:37:11What?
00:37:12You called him?
00:37:13Your Majesty!
00:37:14Wasn't he a beggar?
00:37:15Pass down my decree.
00:37:17Sebastian Serding
00:37:17and his family
00:37:18are executed on the spot!
00:37:20Master!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:25Adam and Montague,
00:37:26as an official of the court,
00:37:27you abused your power
00:37:28and aided evil
00:37:29from this day forth.
00:37:30You are stripped
00:37:31of your duty,
00:37:32imprisoned,
00:37:33along the Montague
00:37:33in the judicial court.
00:37:34Spare me, Your Majesty!
00:37:35Spare me!
00:37:36Please spare me,
00:37:37Your Majesty!
00:37:38I beg your Majesty
00:37:39to revoke the order!
00:37:41It was my fault!
00:37:44I failed to see the truth!
00:37:46Your Majesty!
00:37:47When you humiliated Evelyn back then,
00:37:49did you ever think
00:37:50this day would come?
00:37:53Impossible!
00:37:54Given a second chance to life,
00:37:56how can I still make the wrong choice?
00:37:58Empress Dowager,
00:37:59I did commit a grave offense,
00:38:00but it was all under the orders
00:38:01of the Strangley family.
00:38:02Empress Dowager,
00:38:03please,
00:38:03for the sake
00:38:04of my father's honor!
00:38:05Spare me once!
00:38:06I beg Your Majesty
00:38:07and Empress Dowager
00:38:08for mercy!
00:38:09Please have mercy,
00:38:10Empress Dowager!
00:38:11Have mercy,
00:38:12Empress Dowager!
00:38:13My son,
00:38:14although the two
00:38:15unfilial sons
00:38:16of the Montague family
00:38:17are foolish,
00:38:17they were not
00:38:18the masterminds.
00:38:19They should be punished lighter.
00:38:20The Sterling family
00:38:21is a household
00:38:22of commoners.
00:38:23To execute them all
00:38:24is indeed
00:38:25lacking consideration
00:38:26for the women.
00:38:27I saw that woman
00:38:28who was badly injured,
00:38:29my son.
00:38:30You should go
00:38:30tend to her quickly.
00:38:33Lucas,
00:38:50are you all right?
00:38:51Are you all right?
00:38:52Did you get hurt?
00:38:53I'm fine.
00:38:53Lie down quickly.
00:38:54The Imperius Physician said
00:38:55you have to lie down.
00:38:57Come on.
00:38:58Imperius Physician?
00:39:01What is going on?
00:39:02Why are we
00:39:04in the palace?
00:39:05What exactly happened?
00:39:08It was the Empress Dowager
00:39:09who saved us.
00:39:10The Empress Dowager?
00:39:13You want to make
00:39:14Evelyn Sterling
00:39:15your Empress?
00:39:16I absolutely
00:39:16do not approve.
00:39:18I pledge myself
00:39:19to Evelyn
00:39:20for life in private.
00:39:22Whether you approve
00:39:22or not,
00:39:23I will overcome
00:39:23all obstacles
00:39:24to make Evelyn
00:39:25my Empress.
00:39:26You!
00:39:26If you truly
00:39:30wish to make
00:39:30her Empress,
00:39:31she must pass
00:39:32my test.
00:39:34But,
00:39:34but,
00:39:37before that,
00:39:39you must not
00:39:39let her know
00:39:40your identity.
00:39:42Otherwise,
00:39:43I have plenty
00:39:44of ways
00:39:45to stop you.
00:39:48She left
00:39:48the palace
00:39:49to pray.
00:39:50Just happened
00:39:50to walk
00:39:51by the Sterling State.
00:39:52That's how
00:39:52she saved us.
00:39:53Then,
00:39:56what about
00:39:58my father
00:39:59and the others?
00:39:59The Empress Dowager
00:40:00gave the order
00:40:01to have them
00:40:01all beat
00:40:02in 50 strikes each.
00:40:03Adrian Montague
00:40:04frequented
00:40:04pleasure districts.
00:40:05His body
00:40:06couldn't take it
00:40:06and he fainted.
00:40:07The Empress Dowager
00:40:08ordered him
00:40:08to be put in confinement
00:40:09and your sister
00:40:10was also sent
00:40:11to the Office
00:40:11of Discipline
00:40:12to do hard labor.
00:40:13And for your father
00:40:14and the others,
00:40:15they were exiled.
00:40:16Exiled?
00:40:19Evelyn,
00:40:21from now on,
00:40:22I will protect you.
00:40:25I asked
00:40:26the Empress Dowager
00:40:26for a position
00:40:27and assigned you
00:40:28to the Imperial
00:40:28Household Bureau.
00:40:29From now on,
00:40:30the two of us
00:40:31will be working
00:40:31in the palace.
00:40:35That's wonderful.
00:40:36When the time comes,
00:40:38we may work
00:40:38in the palace
00:40:39for three to five years.
00:40:40Then we can leave together
00:40:41and live a simple life.
00:40:43Okay.
00:40:50Evelyn,
00:40:50I hope
00:40:51you can forgive me.
00:40:58Evelyn,
00:40:59when I have
00:40:59some free time,
00:41:00I'll come to see you.
00:41:02All right.
00:41:05Greets.
00:41:05Guests should notify us
00:41:15before touring
00:41:16the Imperial
00:41:17Household Bureau.
00:41:20This one here
00:41:21is the steward
00:41:21of the Bureau,
00:41:22Ma'am Langston.
00:41:23If you need anything,
00:41:24just go to her.
00:41:27Greetings,
00:41:27Ma'am Langston.
00:41:30This one here
00:41:30is a newly arrived maid,
00:41:32Evelyn Sterling.
00:41:33In the days to come,
00:41:34please take good care
00:41:35of her,
00:41:35Ma'am Langston.
00:41:36Rest assured,
00:41:38I will take good care
00:41:39of Miss Evelyn.
00:41:40I definitely
00:41:41won't let her
00:41:42do heavy work.
00:41:43Lucas,
00:41:48I came here to work,
00:41:50right?
00:41:51Why does it feel like
00:41:52I'm being treated
00:41:53like a mistress?
00:41:54she...
00:41:58Maybe she's a nice person.
00:42:08Miss Evelyn,
00:42:09please come with me.
00:42:12Go ahead.
00:42:13You,
00:42:27clean all of these
00:42:28thoroughly.
00:42:30You and I both work
00:42:31at the Imperial
00:42:32Household Bureau.
00:42:33The tasks are
00:42:33assigned in advance.
00:42:34Why should I be the one
00:42:35to do your work?
00:42:36You've got the nerves
00:42:36to ask.
00:42:37It's because of you
00:42:38that I ended up
00:42:39cleaning the toilet bowl.
00:42:40Some people must have
00:42:41used certain means
00:42:42to learn a post here
00:42:43and somehow even
00:42:43earn Ma'am Langston's favor.
00:42:45She got all the
00:42:46Yeezy's work
00:42:46assigned to you.
00:42:53Hey!
00:43:03Give it back to me!
00:43:07The Dragon Jade Pendant?
00:43:09There's something
00:43:09only His Majesty
00:43:10can wear.
00:43:10Hurry in
00:43:11and inform
00:43:11Madam Langston.
00:43:12Someone is stealing!
00:43:14Your Majesty,
00:43:15give it back to me
00:43:16right now!
00:43:30What are you waiting for?
00:43:31Grab her!
00:43:33Everyone,
00:43:34stop right there!
00:43:41Your Grace.
00:43:43The Imperial Household Bureau
00:43:44is such a crude place.
00:43:46You have never come here
00:43:46before.
00:43:47It might harm
00:43:48your noble health.
00:43:49Allow me to announce
00:43:50your arrival.
00:43:51No need.
00:43:52This time,
00:43:53I am disguised
00:43:53as a Bureau Matron
00:43:54because I want to
00:43:55truly know
00:43:56Evelyn Sterling.
00:43:57She must never learn
00:43:59of my identity.
00:44:00palace rules are strict.
00:44:10I was only gone
00:44:11for a little while
00:44:12and you dare
00:44:13behave so wildly.
00:44:14What do you take
00:44:15the Imperial Household Bureau
00:44:16for?
00:44:16Ma'am,
00:44:16she stole
00:44:17His Majesty's
00:44:18Jade Pendant.
00:44:21The one thing
00:44:21most forbidden
00:44:22in the harm
00:44:23is thee.
00:44:23She feared
00:44:24being exposed
00:44:24and even tried
00:44:25to harm me.
00:44:26Ma'am,
00:44:27you must punish her
00:44:28properly.
00:44:29Ma'am,
00:44:30Langston,
00:44:30please let me explain.
00:44:32This isn't what happened.
00:44:33Enough!
00:44:34Hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:44:36The Pendant
00:44:40belongs to me.
00:44:43I said
00:44:44hand over
00:44:45the Jade Pendant.
00:45:00The Dragon Jade Pendant.
00:45:02It truly belongs
00:45:03to His Majesty.
00:45:04The Dragon Jade Pendant.
00:45:06It truly belongs
00:45:07to His Majesty.
00:45:08The Emperor
00:45:09even gave her
00:45:09something this important?
00:45:11She even dares
00:45:12to steal
00:45:13His Majesty's Pendant.
00:45:14In the future,
00:45:15who knows
00:45:15what outrageous
00:45:15things she might do?
00:45:17Palace rules
00:45:17are very clear.
00:45:19Anyone caught
00:45:19stealing goods
00:45:20worth more than one dollar
00:45:21will have their
00:45:22left foot cut off
00:45:23and be branded.
00:45:24Ma'am,
00:45:25please listen
00:45:25to my explanation.
00:45:27This pendant
00:45:27was given to me
00:45:28by someone
00:45:28very dear to me.
00:45:30It was definitely
00:45:31not stolen.
00:45:32I truly don't know
00:45:32how it could belong
00:45:33to His Majesty.
00:45:34We confirm
00:45:35the pendant belongs
00:45:35to my son.
00:45:36Wouldn't that expose
00:45:37Sister Identity?
00:45:39No.
00:45:40We can't rely
00:45:40on the object
00:45:41to prove
00:45:42there was theft involved.
00:45:43I'll thoroughly
00:45:44investigate this matter
00:45:45until the truth
00:45:46is found.
00:45:47The pendant
00:45:47will remain with me.
00:45:48If you are truly innocent,
00:45:50I will make things
00:45:50right for you.
00:45:52Thank you, Ma'am.
00:45:54This is the new steward,
00:45:55Madam Williams.
00:45:56From now on,
00:45:57she will work with me
00:45:58to manage the Bureau.
00:45:59All of you,
00:46:00behave yourselves.
00:46:01Anyone who tries
00:46:02to be sneaky
00:46:02or lazy
00:46:03will be punished
00:46:04according to palace rules.
00:46:05Yes, Ma'am.
00:46:06Your bullying
00:46:12of your colleague
00:46:13has not been settled yet.
00:46:14You are to clean
00:46:15toilet bowl as punishment.
00:46:16You may eat
00:46:17only when you finish.
00:46:21Yes, Ma'am.
00:46:21Oh, isn't this
00:46:41much better?
00:46:41Your Majesty,
00:46:52Miss Caldwell
00:46:52has come to the palace
00:46:53again today.
00:46:54Do you wish to see her?
00:46:55No.
00:46:55Tell her to go back
00:46:56where she came from.
00:46:58This.
00:46:59You.
00:47:00Go back.
00:47:01I'm going to see Avalyn.
00:47:02If you follow me,
00:47:03you'll expose my identity.
00:47:05Out of the way.
00:47:09Avalyn.
00:47:10Avalyn.
00:47:11Lucas.
00:47:16Why are you here?
00:47:19How can Madam Langston
00:47:21let you do this
00:47:21kind 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
00:47:29the toilet bowl
00:47:30is not a big deal.
00:47:32Avalyn.
00:47:36I.
00:47:41I'm sorry you had
00:47:45to endure this.
00:47:46I promise I'll find a way
00:47:47to get you out of here
00:47:48as soon as possible.
00:47:50By the way,
00:47:51the Jade Pendant of yours,
00:47:53what's the story behind it?
00:47:54Why is it
00:47:55that they keep saying
00:47:56that the pendant
00:47:57belongs to His Majesty?
00:47:58Uh, my father.
00:48:01My father once won
00:48:01first place
00:48:02in the Imperial Exam
00:48:03to encourage
00:48:04outstanding scholars.
00:48:05His Majesty
00:48:05rewarded him
00:48:06with the Jade Pendant.
00:48:07This is how
00:48:07it came into our hands.
00:48:09Oh, I see.
00:48:10All they say is
00:48:11His Majesty,
00:48:11His Majesty.
00:48:12I thought maybe
00:48:13you were lying to me.
00:48:14Who's there?
00:48:22It's Madam Willems.
00:48:24Hurry up, go.
00:48:24Don't let her see you.
00:48:25Tomorrow.
00:48:26I'll come to see you
00:48:27tomorrow again.
00:48:35Madam's.
00:48:36All the toilet bowls
00:48:37have been cleaned.
00:48:38Cleaned already?
00:48:40Then go sweep
00:48:41the entire back courtyard.
00:48:44Yes, ma'am.
00:48:48Finally done
00:48:49with everything.
00:49:02Why are you throwing
00:49:03my things?
00:49:04Madam Williams
00:49:04gave orders herself.
00:49:06She said at first
00:49:06light tomorrow
00:49:07you are to deliver
00:49:08her medicine.
00:49:08Ma'am said
00:49:09the medicine must be
00:49:10boiled with morning drew.
00:49:11Tonight,
00:49:12you should wait outside.
00:49:13Morning drew?
00:49:14Morning drew?
00:49:18Everyone heard it.
00:49:19I'm not making it up.
00:49:20Why is Madam
00:49:21Williams always
00:49:22picking on me?
00:49:23Madam Williams
00:49:23already showed me
00:49:25mercy by.
00:49:25Not punishing
00:49:26for the theft last time.
00:49:27All she asked
00:49:27was for you
00:49:28to collect the morning drew.
00:49:29You should be grateful.
00:49:30The pendant
00:49:30wasn't stolen at all.
00:49:31Stop falsely accusing me.
00:49:32Not stolen?
00:49:33Are you saying
00:49:34His Majesty
00:49:34gave it to you himself?
00:49:35You...
00:49:35Huh.
00:49:35The night
00:49:45air is damned
00:49:46with dew.
00:49:47I'm going inside
00:49:47to 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
00:49:53as yours or mine.
00:49:54Don't think that
00:49:54just because
00:49:54Malin lost
00:49:55so you can do
00:49:55whatever you want.
00:49:58Who said
00:49:59you 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
00:50:17why is he here?
00:50:18Could it be
00:50:19that 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
00:50:40let her discover
00:50:41your true identity.
00:50:52My deepest apologies
00:50:53Your Majesty.
00:50:54I merely saw
00:50:55someone injured
00:50:55and acted out of concern.
00:50:59Fortunately
00:51:00it wasn't His Majesty.
00:51:01But
00:51:01hasn't Master Langley
00:51:03been by His Majesty's side?
00:51:05Master Langley
00:51:06what is going on here?
00:51:09Oh
00:51:10this young guy here
00:51:11he missed a strike
00:51:12in resemblance
00:51:13to His Majesty.
00:51:14I specifically
00:51:14brought him to the palace
00:51:15to interrogate him.
00:51:16I'm going to be
00:51:20so ignorant of the rules.
00:51:21Don't you notice
00:51:22you behave yourself here?
00:51:23I humbly apologize.
00:51:25I acknowledge
00:51:26my error.
00:51:27Madam Langston
00:51:27I beg your pardon.
00:51:29It's entirely my fault
00:51:30for causing this young
00:51:31officer concern.
00:51:32If you understand
00:51:32your error
00:51:33then leave
00:51:34at once.
00:51:34As for you
00:51:45fraternizing with the guards
00:51:49is a grave matter
00:51:50yet Madam Williams
00:51:51merely punished her
00:51:52with kneeling.
00:51:53The last time
00:51:53she stole a jade pendant
00:51:54that incident
00:51:55was also swept
00:51:56under the rug.
00:51:57Tell me
00:51:58if His Majesty
00:51:59knew she had stolen
00:52:00his jade pendant
00:52:01how do you think
00:52:02he would handle her?
00:52:03I shall inform
00:52:14His Majesty
00:52:15at once
00:52:15it was you
00:52:16who stole
00:52:17his jade pendant.
00:52:17Let us see
00:52:18if he will still
00:52:19let you off so easily.
00:52:22Ah my face!
00:52:24My face!
00:52:25Ah my face!
00:52:28You foolish serpent
00:52:30what have you put
00:52:31in this ball?
00:52:31I obtained a recipe
00:52:34from a tallist
00:52:34who claimed
00:52:35they could
00:52:35enhance one's beauty
00:52:36when consumed.
00:52:40I only wished
00:52:41to do what was best
00:52:42for Madam Williams
00:52:43which is why
00:52:43I acted so foolishly.
00:52:44How dare you serve
00:52:45something of unknown
00:52:47origin to ma'am
00:52:47if this rash on her face
00:52:49does not fade.
00:52:51How will you atone
00:52:52for this?
00:52:53Madam?
00:52:54Guards!
00:52:54Drag her away
00:52:55and sell her
00:52:56to a slave trader.
00:52:57Madam Williams
00:52:58have mercy
00:52:59madam
00:52:59have mercy
00:53:00please
00:53:00madam

00:53:10to try?

00:53:13You?
00:53:14I have studied
00:53:15medical texts
00:53:16and I can prepare
00:53:17herbal remedy
00:53:18that might alleviate
00:53:19the rash on your face.
00:53:20If
00:53:24If my methods
00:53:28prove effective
00:53:28I beg you madam
00:53:30to spare Isabella's life.
00:53:42His majesty
00:53:43has not paid me attention
00:53:44for a long time
00:53:45yet I hear
00:53:46he has recently
00:53:47been visiting
00:53:48Bureau House of Bureau.
00:53:49Tell me who could be
00:53:51in the Imperial
00:53:51Household Bureau

00:53:53interest so deeply.
00:53:55I don't know
00:53:56I know nothing

00:54:02I remember now
00:54:03there is indeed someone
00:54:04who dares to do
00:54:05such a thing.
00:54:06Oh?
00:54:17It may not look appealing
00:54:18but it is true
00:54:19but it is true
00:54:20that the rash
00:54:20has faded somewhat.
00:54:24It seems
00:54:25you do have
00:54:26some skill.
00:54:27Thank you
00:54:28for your praise
00:54:28madam
00:54:29madam
00:54:29you need to

00:54:33will completely
00:54:33disappear.

00:55:50insistence on

00:55:53like a mere impulse

01:19:26Don't you dare touch her!
01:19:29Your Majesty!
01:19:32Long live Your Majesty!
01:19:37How dare you! Condemning the innocent without discerning right from wrong!
01:19:47This is totally outrageous!
01:19:55You 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 mean to hurt my sister!
01:20:05Your Majesty, Evelyn was in charge of the banquet, but she allowed assassins in to hurt the Empress Dowager.
01:20:10I beg you, Your Majesty issued an order at once to imprison her for further interrogation.
01:20:15Chester Gull was right!
01:20:16If it weren't for my husband's presence today, the Empress Dowager 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!
01:20:31If this happens again, who will protect the palace?
01:20:37Police!
01:20:38You must punish Evelyn!
01:20:40Adrian Montague!
01:20:41Are you making decisions for me?
01:20:43The Empress Dowager has been traumatized today.
01:20:45If Your Majesty is not to 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!
01:21:02Is that so?
01:21:03If I have evidence that Evelyn's innocent, what should you be punished for?
01:21:07I believe that Evelyn is going to be unimaginable!
01:21:13Possible!
01:21:14Nicholas!
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!
01:21:27Bring 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, 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.
01:21:46It's over. It's all over.
01:21:48Guards, 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.
01:22:00Your Majesty.
01:22:06Your Majesty.
01:22:07It's for you two.
01:22:09Your Majesty, Your 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, I was only jealous of my sister.
01:22:16The 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 Montagueux, Josephine Sterling, as masterminds,
01:22:30will be executed right now.
01:22:32Law, Catherine, in the Judicial Court.
01:22:37Wait for further orders.
01:22:38Your Majesty.
01:22:40Your Majesty.
01:22:41Please give me a chance, Your Majesty.
01:22:42Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
01:22:44If not for you, all of this would have been mine.
01:22:48No, no.
01:22:50It's all because of yourself, not me.
01:22:54You brought all of this upon yourself.
01:22:56No, no, no.
01:22:58No, no.
01:22:59No, no.
01:23:00No, no.
01:23:01No, no.
01:23:02No, no.
01:23:03No, no.
01:23:04Evelyn.
01:23:07Hi.
01:23:10So, Your Majesty, what is your real name?
01:23:17Lucian Prescott.
01:23:19Lucian Prescott.
01:23:21Now the criminals have been taken away.
01:23:24Your Majesty and Your Highness, you can finally be together.
01:23:31My Highness.
01:23:34From today onward, I will make you Empress.
01:23:42Starting today, the concubines will be dismissed.
01:23:45The harem only has one leader.
01:23:46And that will be my Empress.
01:23:52British!
01:23:54Long live Your Highness.
