Transcript
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!
00:00:26Murder!
00:00:27Murder!
00:00:28Однако please, Mr.
00:00:42What?
00:00:43Don't call me Sister!
00:00:45You're unworthy!
00:00:46We are both daughters of the Sterling family, why should you live better than me?
00:00:50If only Adrian Monta caught my bridal bow three years ago.
00:00:55This thing being over is nothing but an illusion.
00:01:02If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.
00:01:25Master, 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 two three years ago? The very day of the husband seeking bridal bond.
00:01:55My lady, it's time to cast your bond.
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.
00:02:19Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me! Lady Josephine, come on!
00:02:26In this life, I have to marry Adrian!
00:02:38Tim, Adrian, second son of the Montagues.
00:02:40The Montague family are relatives of the royal family, which means we shall become royal kin as well!
00:02:47I actually altered my fate. Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank, and I shall become a noble lady of honor!
00:02:58Josephine, you have schemed relentlessly. But little do you know that you're gonna suffer a lot in the evil Montague family.
00:03:05Great, great, great! The whole family is counting on you!
00:03:10Oh, stop flattering me! I'm doing this just for our family.
00:03:14Once 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.
00:03:36That is...
00:03:42Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:03:46Master, if the Empress Doward you find, 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.
00:03:59Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
00:04:01The bridal ball for marriage!
00:04:02Let's have a look.
00:04:04In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal ball. I 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. And you better aim as close as Josephine.
00:04:26Mother, how could you say such a thing?
00:04:28Sister has always been lucky and she would never bring shame upon us.
00:04:32In my opinion, in the moment, she will surely get the finest husband.
00:04:41Powerful or not, rich or not, it's only written on water.
00:04:46In this life, I seek only a true companion to live a peaceful life till the end.
00:04:51It's him. It's him. The beggar that Josephine ran away from.
00:05:09Oh, oh no. It actually went to a beggar.
00:05:15Sister, what terrible luck you have. A beggar out of so many people down there. How do you expect father to hold his head high?
00:05:23Damn it! With so many people down there, how could you cast into a beggar? Are you deliberately trying to shame me?
00:05:31What's done is done, sister. Do not be too upset.
00:05:34Though he is of lowly birth, but look, at least he got a pretty face.
00:05:38It is only a pity for you, sister, raising comfort and luxury. But now bound to a beggar, you shall have to labor yourself to earn your bread.
00:05:48Now this will be quite the spectacle. The esteemed Lady Evelyn will marry a beggar? Everyone is watching. If she refuses, it's going to ruin their credit. Who would associate with them more?
00:05:57Hey! Hey! Hey! Seize her! Don't let her escape!
00:06:05Master, how did this bridal bull end up in your hands? What should we do now? It's the Scottish.
00:06:11I'm dressed in such rags. She won't agree.
00:06:17Sister, why are you running? You cast the bridal bull yourself!
00:06:22You damn girl! Look at the filthy beggar you've got!
00:06:25If 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.
00:06:38Thinking back now, perhaps marrying a beggar would be 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.
00:06:50What?
00:06:51My name is Evelyn Sterling. What's yours?
00:06:52I am Lu...
00:06:53Lucas Prescott.
00:06:54With all present as my witnesses today, I, Evelyn Sterling.
00:06:57Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband?
00:06:58Are you serious?
00:06:59Huh.
00:07:00Yeah.
00:07:01The ball is in your hands.
00:07:02The ball is in your hands.
00:07:03What's yours?
00:07:04What's yours?
00:07:05I am Lu...
00:07:06Lucas Prescott.
00:07:07With all present as my witnesses today, I, Evelyn Sterling.
00:07:11Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband.
00:07:12Are you serious?
00:07:13I, Evelyn Sterling.
00:07:14Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband.
00:07:17Are you serious?
00:07:18Huh.
00:07:19Yeah.
00:07:20The ball is in your hands.
00:07:21You wanna... reject me.
00:07:24Are you serious?
00:07:27Yeah.
00:07:29The ball is in your hands.
00:07:31You want to reject me?
00:07:34I didn't.
00:07:36It's just that I'm poor as hell.
00:07:38Marrying me would mean a life of uncertainty.
00:07:41Are you sure?
00:07:43We're not disabled or something.
00:07:46We 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 going to marry him?
00:08:01Evelyn, you're sure about this?
00:08:04Marry this beggar, and 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, he may be in rags now,
00:08:15but I can see his humility and good manner.
00:08:18He's going to make a difference, maybe.
00:08:20You 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,
00:08:29and going to ruin their reputation.
00:08:31Seems 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,
00:08:37don'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.
00:08:47Everyone, disperse.
00:08:51Sister, no hard feelings.
00:08:55But marrying a beggar
00:08:57means you will spend your life beneath me.
00:09:01You should worry about yourself.
00:09:04Life with the Montague's
00:09:05is not as easy as you imagine.
00:09:08Hmph!
00:09:16You...
00:09:16In three days,
00:09:22remember to come to propose.
00:09:23It's her or Mother's pressing.
00:09:26So I might as well...
00:09:27All right.
00:09:28I'll be there.
00:09:34Today,
00:09:35the second daughter of 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 of fine brocade,
00:09:44three land deeds for silk shops
00:09:46in the Eastern District.
00:09:47Lady Josephine Sterling's salary
00:09:49is worth a fortune.
00:09:50Yet Lady Evelyn Sterling
00:09:51has nothing at all.
00:09:52They're both daughters
00:09:53of the Sarlene family,
00:09:54but the difference between them
00:09:55is 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,
00:10:50the auspicious hour
00:10:52is nearly over.
00:10:53Why has your husband
00:10:53not come for you?
00:10:55Could it be that
00:10:55he's not coming at all?
00:11:04I,
00:11:04your humble son-in-law,
00:11:05greet my honored
00:11:06father-in-law.
00:11:07My lady.
00:11:17My lady.
00:11:18Are you here
00:11:19to beg for the alms
00:11:19or take a bride?
00:11:21Dressed in such rags,
00:11:22do you not feel ashamed?
00:11:23Compared to Lord Montague,
00:11:25you're as far apart
00:11:26as heaven and earth.
00:11:28Just 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 finding
00:11:41this humiliating?
00:11:42Marriage is a lifelong
00:11:43commitment,
00:11:44building upon sincerity,
00:11:45not mere appearances.
00:11:46The man I,
00:11:47Evelyn Sterling,
00:11:48have chosen
00:11:48is not one whose worth
00:11:50can be swayed
00:11:50by idle words.
00:11:51Have you not
00:11:52embarrassed us enough?
00:11:54Master,
00:11:55do not be angered.
00:11:57From the moment
00:11:57Evelyn steps beyond
00:11:59this threshold,
00:12:00she'll no longer
00:12:01be a Sterling.
00:12:02The auspicious hour
00:12:03has arrived.
00:12:04Bring the bride
00:12:05to the carriage.
00:12:13This is the...
00:12:14Congratulations,
00:12:18Master Sterling.
00:12:19Your son-in-law
00:12:20is truly an exceptional man.
00:12:24Many thanks,
00:12:25Deputy Minister.
00:12:26Please come inside.
00:12:27After you.
00:12:31Surely you didn't
00:12:31arrive on foot today.
00:12:33On such a big day,
00:12:35will you have the bride
00:12:36walk all the way
00:12:37to your home?
00:12:39Unheard of.
00:12:40Indeed.
00:12:41Not like my husband.
00:12:46My lady,
00:12:47please,
00:12:48allow me to take you home.
00:12:49bow to the heavens
00:13:09and the earth.
00:13:11Is this the place
00:13:12you've found us to live in?
00:13:14Bow to the elders.
00:13:16A shabby place like this,
00:13:21is it even fit for a living?
00:13:23I just didn't want you
00:13:24to blow your cover.
00:13:25And bow to each other
00:13:26as husband and wife.
00:13:34The ceremony is complete!
00:13:37My lady,
00:13:39I have put you through 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.
00:13:50If we work hard
00:13:53from now on,
00:13:53keep this place tidy,
00:13:55you'll soon feel
00:13:56much more comfortable.
00:13:57At this moment,
00:13:58I have nothing of value
00:13:59to give you.
00:14:00The 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 to you.
00:14:14It's so precious.
00:14:16Are you certain of it?
00:14:20Alright.
00:14:21I will cherish it well.
00:14:30You're up.
00:14:49Breakfast is ready.
00:14:50For you.
00:14:54Hi.
00:14:55Where are you going?
00:14:57Today is the wife's
00:14:58homecoming day.
00:14:59I made telemeds
00:15:00for my parents,
00:15:01but they're not
00:15:01quite finished.
00:15:02I need to buy
00:15:02some more threads
00:15:03and complete them
00:15:04before I return home.
00:15:05Alright.
00:15:06I'll go with you.
00:15:07Alright.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:14Greetings,
00:15:15your ma-
00:15:15Greetings,
00:15:15your majesty!
00:15:20Greetings,
00:15:21your majesty!
00:15:21Greetings,
00:15:21your ma-
00:15:22Who are they?
00:15:27The palace is
00:15:28too complicated.
00:15:29Once everything's
00:15:29settled,
00:15:30I'll reveal
00:15:30my identity to Evelyn.
00:15:32They are...
00:15:33They're here for Victor!
00:15:41Yes, yes.
00:15:42I used to serve
00:15:43in the palace.
00:15:44These are all
00:15:44old acquaintances.
00:15:48Evelyn,
00:15:49I'll help Victor
00:15:50to entertain the guests.
00:15:51Will you be alright
00:15:52buying threat
00:15:52on your own?
00:15:53Yes.
00:15:55Yes.
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 and protect
00:16:15Evelyn.
00:16:16Let's head back.
00:16:17Yes,
00:16:17your majesty.
00:16:18Get someone
00:16:19to deliver some
00:16:20valuable gifts
00:16:20to Sterling Estate.
00:16:22Say that they're
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?
00:16:39Today is your
00:16:40homecoming day.
00:16:42Sister,
00:16:42why have you
00:16:43returned alone?
00:16:44Are you ashamed
00:16:45of your beggar husband?
00:16:47So you didn't even
00:16:48bring him to meet
00:16:49the family.
00:16:49My husband
00:16:50wanted to come,
00:16:51but something
00:16:52urgent came up.
00:16:53Since being married
00:16:54to the beggar,
00:16:55Lady Evelyn Sterling,
00:16:56must have suffered
00:16:57a great deal.
00:16:58You look much
00:16:58frailer than before.
00:17:01Had you not
00:17:02married that
00:17:03filthy beggar,
00:17:04perhaps I would
00:17:04have taken you
00:17:05as a concubine.
00:17:06At least you
00:17:06wouldn't have
00:17:07fallen to such
00:17:07a state.
00:17:08That will not
00:17:09be necessary.
00:17:10I am living well.
00:17:11As of for you,
00:17:12sister,
00:17:13it has been
00:17:13quite a few days
00:17:14since you had
00:17:15seen your husband
00:17:16before.
00:17:16You...
00:17:17Screw you,
00:17:19Adrian.
00:17:19Went drinking
00:17:20with corsets
00:17:21on our wedding night
00:17:22and now everyone
00:17:22knows we are
00:17:23utterly humiliating
00:17:24me.
00:17:25Josephine.
00:17:26father-in-law,
00:17:31greetings to you
00:17:33both.
00:17:34Greetings to you
00:17:35both.
00:17:36You've returned
00:17:36alone.
00:17:37How can you
00:17:38still have the
00:17:38face to come
00:17:39back?
00:17:39What does your
00:17:40husband do all
00:17:41day, not even
00:17:42accompanying you
00:17:43for your
00:17:43homecoming?
00:17:44Mother, you're
00:17:45thinking too
00:17:46highly of her.
00:17:47That filthy
00:17:48beggar is probably
00:17:49begging in the
00:17:49streets right now.
00:17:51How could he
00:17:51possibly compare
00:17:52to my husband?
00:17:55Father-in-law,
00:17:56your humble
00:17:56son-in-law has
00:17:57brought a small
00:17:57gift.
00:18:02Our dear
00:18:04Josephine has
00:18:05truly found
00:18:05herself a fine
00:18:06husband.
00:18:07For our
00:18:07daughter to
00:18:07marry such
00:18:08a fine
00:18:08gentleman,
00:18:09it must be
00:18:10the blessing
00:18:10she has earned
00:18:11over eight
00:18:11lifetimes.
00:18:12Unlike someone
00:18:14who chose a
00:18:15beggar as her
00:18:16husband, our
00:18:16sterling family
00:18:17has raised you
00:18:18for so many
00:18:19years, and yet
00:18:19you come back
00:18:20empty-handed on
00:18:21your homecoming
00:18:22day.
00:18:23Indeed, sister.
00:18:25This is my
00:18:26homecoming gift.
00:18:27Have you fallen
00:18:28into such poverty
00:18:29that you cannot
00:18:29even afford a
00:18:30proper homecoming
00:18:31gift?
00:18:38Father, mother,
00:18:40these are the
00:18:41two protective
00:18:41telemins I made
00:18:42for you by hand.
00:18:43A blessing to
00:18:43you both.
00:18:44Wishing you peace
00:18:45and prosperity.
00:18:49Get out!
00:18:50what a disgrace!
00:18:53Sister, is this
00:18:55truly what you've
00:18:56brought?
00:18:56A few scraps of
00:18:57cloth with
00:18:58embroidery.
00:18:59How dare you
00:18:59present these?
00:19:01Well, she did
00:19:01marry a beggar,
00:19:02so her gift
00:19:03befits her status
00:19:05perfectly.
00:19:06Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:19:07Oh, right.
00:19:08She has married
00:19:09a beggar.
00:19:10What else could
00:19:10we expect from
00:19:11her?
00:19:11Ha ha ha ha!
00:19:13Ha ha ha ha!
00:19:15Ha ha ha ha!
00:19:15Ha ha ha ha!
00:19:16Ha ha ha ha!
00:19:17Master, madame,
00:19:19someone from the
00:19:19palace has arrived
00:19:20with gifts.
00:19:21They say they are
00:19:21the homecoming
00:19:22gifts from Lady
00:19:22Evelyn.
00:19:27Master Sirling,
00:19:28who exactly?
00:19:29As your
00:19:29eldest daughter,
00:19:30Mary,
00:19:30the mountain
00:19:30nobility,
00:19:31even the palace
00:19:31saw fit to have
00:19:32me personally
00:19:33deliver these
00:19:33gifts to you.
00:19:34You must hold
00:19:34great influence
00:19:35indeed.
00:19:36Gifts from the
00:19:36palace?
00:19:37Then it must be
00:19:38from his
00:19:38majesty himself.
00:19:39It was
00:19:39personally arranged
00:19:40by the chief
00:19:41eunuch at his
00:19:41majesty's side.
00:19:42He said,
00:19:43for the
00:19:44starling family's
00:19:45eldest daughter.
00:19:49Oh,
00:19:49Mr. Ashford,
00:19:52you must be
00:19:52mistaken.
00:19:54All of
00:19:54Highgate knows
00:19:55that Evelyn
00:19:56married a
00:19:57beggar.
00:19:58How could
00:19:59she possibly
00:19:59have ties to
00:20:00anyone in
00:20:01the palace?
00:20:02Oh,
00:20:03this must
00:20:04surely be
00:20:05a courtesy
00:20:05to young
00:20:07Master
00:20:07Montague.
00:20:08Ha ha ha ha!
00:20:10Indeed,
00:20:11in this world,
00:20:12those seeking
00:20:13favor with
00:20:13the Montague
00:20:14family are
00:20:14countless.
00:20:15Even those
00:20:16in the palace
00:20:16are paying
00:20:17their respects.
00:20:18Father-in-law,
00:20:19please accept
00:20:19with joy.
00:20:20Ha ha ha!
00:20:22Josephine has
00:20:23married a
00:20:23remarkable husband.
00:20:24Just look at
00:20:25the grandeur of
00:20:26her homecoming.
00:20:27Such lavish
00:20:28gifts!
00:20:29Our sterling
00:20:29family is truly
00:20:30honored beyond
00:20:31measure!
00:20:32Ha ha ha!
00:20:33The gifts
00:20:34have been
00:20:35delivered.
00:20:35I shall take
00:20:36my leave.
00:20:37Oh,
00:20:37take care!
00:20:38Take care!
00:20:41Sister,
00:20:42my husband
00:20:43has prepared
00:20:43two sets
00:20:44of homecoming
00:20:44gifts.
00:20:45Seeing all
00:20:46these,
00:20:46do you not
00:20:47feel ashamed?
00:20:48It's not
00:20:49about the
00:20:49quality of
00:20:50gifts,
00:20:50but the
00:20:50sincerity
00:20:50behind them.
00:20:51I see
00:20:52nothing
00:20:52inappropriate
00:20:52in this.
00:20:53I've poured
00:20:54my heart
00:20:55and effort
00:20:55into raising
00:20:55you,
00:20:56and yet,
00:20:56not only
00:20:57did you
00:20:57marry a
00:20:57beggar,
00:20:58but you
00:20:58even bring
00:20:59back these
00:20:59worthless
00:20:59rags to
00:21:00disgrace me.
00:21:01The sterling
00:21:01family has
00:21:02no place
00:21:02for such
00:21:03a disgraceful
00:21:03daughter.
00:21:05Simply
00:21:05because I
00:21:05married
00:21:06Lucas,
00:21:07you feel
00:21:07justified
00:21:08to humiliate
00:21:09me like
00:21:09this.
00:21:09Josephine
00:21:10acts in
00:21:10the best
00:21:10interest
00:21:11of the
00:21:11sterling
00:21:11family,
00:21:12unlike you
00:21:12who married
00:21:13a beggar
00:21:14bringing
00:21:14disgrace
00:21:15upon us
00:21:15all.
00:21:17Disgrace?
00:21:18it's only
00:21:19because Josephine
00:21:20married into
00:21:21wealth that
00:21:22you so
00:21:23readily indulge
00:21:23her.
00:21:24Insolent
00:21:24child,
00:21:25such outrageous
00:21:26defiance,
00:21:26who has put
00:21:27these ideas
00:21:28in your head?
00:21:28Is it not
00:21:29the truth?
00:21:31In your
00:21:32eyes,
00:21:33a daughter is
00:21:34nothing more
00:21:34than a pawn
00:21:35to secure
00:21:35power and
00:21:36favor?
00:21:37Outrageous!
00:21:38How dare
00:21:39you speak
00:21:40to your father
00:21:41in such a
00:21:41manner?
00:21:45Her
00:21:45dragon
00:21:46jade
00:21:46pendant?
00:21:48Outrageous!
00:21:51No,
00:21:52I must
00:21:52inform
00:21:52his majesty.
00:21:55Give it
00:21:56back to me!
00:21:57This jade
00:21:58pendant looks
00:21:59of fine
00:22:00quality.
00:22:01From where
00:22:01did you steal
00:22:02it,
00:22:02sister?
00:22:04It is from
00:22:05Lucas.
00:22:05Give it
00:22:05back!
00:22:08That
00:22:08wretched
00:22:08beggar?
00:22:09He will
00:22:10never possess
00:22:11such a fine
00:22:12pendant.
00:22:12He must
00:22:13have stolen
00:22:13it from
00:22:14somewhere.
00:22:15Would
00:22:15right have
00:22:15you to
00:22:16make such
00:22:16rash
00:22:16accusations.
00:22:17Lucas may
00:22:18not be
00:22:18of noble
00:22:18birth
00:22:18like
00:22:19you,
00:22:19but you
00:22:19believe
00:22:20that
00:22:20possessing
00:22:20a jade
00:22:20pendant
00:22:21is
00:22:21a
00:22:21rightful
00:22:21due.
00:22:22Yet
00:22:22Lucas is
00:22:22not
00:22:22worthy
00:22:23of the
00:22:23same.
00:22:23A
00:22:24worthless
00:22:24beggar's
00:22:24gift,
00:22:25and you
00:22:25treat
00:22:25it
00:22:26like
00:22:26a
00:22:26treasure.
00:22:26How
00:22:27ignorant.
00:22:28You
00:22:28want
00:22:29the
00:22:29pendant?
00:22:29Very
00:22:30well,

00:24:03Guards,
00:24:04bring
00:24:04the
00:24:05burning
00:24:05charcoal
00:24:06from
00:24:06the
00:24:06kitchen,
00:24:07scattered
00:24:07across the
00:24:08board.
00:24:08your
00:24:12new
00:24:13family.
00:24:14Lady
00:24:15Evelyn
00:24:15was
00:24:15humiliated
00:24:15at
00:24:16the
00:24:16sterling
00:24:16estate.
00:24:22Once
00:24:22body
00:24:22and
00:24:23soul
00:24:23are
00:24:23bestowed
00:24:23by
00:24:24one's
00:24:24parents,
00:24:25if
00:24:25you
00:24:25wish
00:24:25to
00:24:25sever
00:24:26ties,
00:24:27you
00:24:27must
00:24:27first
00:24:27repay
00:24:28your
00:24:28parents
00:24:28kindness.
00:24:30My
00:24:30lady
00:24:30speaks
00:24:31most
00:24:31reasonably.
00:24:32Given
00:24:32your
00:24:32current
00:24:33state,
00:24:33It would be far too much to expect that you present anything of great value.
00:24:37Then you have no choice but to walk barefoot across this bed of burning charcoal.
00:24:43It is pleasing so fiercely.
00:24:45How could anyone survive walking across them?
00:24:47I will not walk.
00:24:50Oh?
00:24:51It seems, dear sister, that you no longer want this jade pendant.
00:24:57Stop!
00:24:58Lukas 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.
00:25:09I will walk.
00:25:28For the sake of a filthy beggar, you would go to such lengths?
00:25:35You must have lost your mind.
00:25:37For a mere jade pendant, a lady born into privilege would willingly walk across burning charcoal.
00:25:43No wonder she was foolish enough to marry a mere beggar.
00:25:46After all, what does a beggar have to his name but worthless trinkets?
00:25:50This jade pendant is likely his most treasured possession.
00:25:55No wonder your sister cherishes it so.
00:25:58The jade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:26:01I've carried it with me all these years.
00:26:04Now, I'm giving it to you.
00:26:14For me, my lady.
00:26:17Lukas.
00:26:17Do not worry.
00:26:20I will reclaim the jade pendant.
00:26:32Can you return 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, this jade pendant will be yours.
00:26:46The jade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:27:04I've carried it with me all these years.
00:27:08Nanyao, I'm giving it to you.
00:27:10All right.
00:27:13I will cherish it well.
00:27:15You claim to cherish your love for that filthy beggar.
00:27:43But if you were disfigured, would your dearest husband still want you?
00:27:50Why are you looking at me like that?
00:27:52I have long told you the fate of a woman who wets a beggar can only be one to be trampled upon at will.
00:27:59You exhaust yourself trying to torment me.
00:28:03But do you truly believe you're getting your way?
00:28:07I want you to spend the rest of your days wallowing in the gutter.
00:28:12Watching as I rise to become the most esteemed woman in the world.
00:28:15Who dares to lay a hand on my woman?
00:28:37Evelyn.
00:28:38I'm sorry.
00:28:39I'm late.
00:28:39Just leave.
00:28:43Lucas.
00:28:45I didn't lose your jade pendant.
00:28:52Did they say it was his majesty?
00:28:54How could it be him?
00:28:55That beggar is dressed in such luxurious robes.
00:28:58And those men, are they the imperial guards?
00:29:01Why would they take orders from a beggar?
00:29:02I heard that filthy beggar's brother once served in the palace.
00:29:05Is it natural for him to procure some robes?
00:29:07That wretch beggar has suffered humiliation last time.
00:29:10And now, he has come to regain his dignity?
00:29:12Ha!
00:29:13What a joke!
00:29:14A mere beggar?
00:29:15Daring 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.
00:29:20But to be so audacious?
00:29:22As to steal from the imperial palace?
00:29:24If his majesty were to find out, do you really believe you will be spared?
00:29:27Deviant fools.
00:29:28You're doomed!
00:29:29You!
00:29:32What do you think you're doing?
00:29:34Evelyn, come with me.
00:29:36Evelyn, what's wrong?
00:29:47Who did this?
00:29:49Lucas!
00:29:57Yes, it was me!
00:29:58So what?
00:29:58I was only trying to help my dear sister.
00:30:00Who would have thought she would walk barefoot across the burning charcoal?
00:30:04I wonder what she was thinking.
00:30:06Such a fool!
00:30:06Silence!
00:30:07And who do you think you are to dare raise your voice before me?
00:30:11Yes, I'm insulting her because she married a worthless man.
00:30:15I am a noble lady with the Montag family.
00:30:17You are nothing but insects beneath my feet.
00:30:20Even if I were to kill you here and now, you ought to kneel and sack me for it.
00:30:24Let's see how much longer you can keep up this charade.
00:30:26Guards, seize this filthy beggar, Neville and Sterling.
00:30:29Wait.
00:30:33How dare you humiliate my lady?
00:30:37Seize them!
00:30:38Seize them!
00:30:39How dare you!
00:30:43I'm Lady Joseph of the Montag!
00:30:47Husband, save me!
00:30:48You filthy beggar!
00:30:49Guards!
00:30:49Whoever kills him for me, I shall reward him with ten tails of gold.
00:30:56Insulin, wretch!
00:30:57Lord Montague is of royal lineage!
00:30:59If you dare lay a hand on him, you shall make an enemy of the entire Montague family!
00:31:03And what of it?
00:31:04Anyone who dares harm my lady shall only have one face, death!
00:31:11You filthy beggar, you're taking this act too far!
00:31:14Before I lose my temper, release me at once!
00:31:16I might disappear your life!
00:31:18You've tortured Evelyn to such wretched state!
00:31:21Press their faces!
00:31:23Straight into the burning charcoal!
00:31:24Help me!
00:31:27No!
00:31:28Oh!
00:31:29No!
00:31:30No!
00:31:30What are you doing?
00:31:31No!
00:31:32Stop!
00:31:32Once the judicial court arrives, you are doomed!
00:31:36All right.
00:31:37My brother is an official of the imperial court.
00:31:39Do you really think you'll walk away alive?
00:31:41I'd like to see if the judicial court would tolerate this.
00:31:47Carry on!
00:31:49Help!
00:31:50No!
00:31:50Help!
00:31:50No!
00:31:51Use me!
00:31:52You wretched fool!
00:31:53If you wish to die, don't drag the Stoney family down with you!
00:31:57No!
00:31:58Stop!
00:31:59Brother!
00:32:00Brother, save me!
00:32:11Who is harming my brother?
00:32:17The imperial secret guards.
00:32:19Why are they here?
00:32:20Yes.
00:32:21I summoned them.
00:32:23That voice.
00:32:24Could it be...
00:32:26Your majesty?
00:32:29Your majesty?
00:32:33The emperor?
00:32:34How could this filthy beggar...
00:32:36Brother, don't let this filthy beggar fool you!
00:32:39These clothes he's wearing are all stolen from the imperial palace.
00:32:41All these people were bribed by him with a huge sum of money.
00:32:44That's right!
00:32:45You're new to this office.
00:32:46Guys, it's normal to get the wrong person, but he really is a filthy beggar.
00:32:49He can't possibly be the emperor.
00:32:51That's true.
00:32:52The emperor couldn't possibly be here.
00:32:54Wretched girl, look at the fine husband you've chosen.
00:32:58You've offended Lord Mottagyu.
00:32:59I'll see how you plan to end this.
00:33:01My lord, you must uphold justice for us.
00:33:05This filthy beggar and Evelyn Sterling, they defied human ethics, even intended to murder us.
00:33:11Outrageous.
00:33:12At the foot of the imperial city.
00:33:14How can you act so brazenly?
00:33:15Guards, take them to the dungeon of the judicial court.
00:33:18Interrogate them with torture.
00:33:19Wait!
00:33:21What else do you have to say?
00:33:23Since when was this position of Lord Justice Deputy?
00:33:26Yours to assume.
00:33:27You filthy beggar, how could you possibly know about court appointments?
00:33:31My brother was appointed by the Empress Dowager herself.
00:33:34What now?
00:33:34Regret finally sinking in?
00:33:36Even the Empress Dowager was deceived.
00:33:39Your Mottagyu family truly is impressive.
00:33:45Empress Dowager, please speak up for his subject.
00:33:48His Majesty, outside the palace, married the eldest daughter of the Sterling family.
00:33:51Because that woman, His Majesty, even lashed out.
00:33:53I said His Majesty married another woman outside the palace?
00:33:56Guards!
00:33:57Prepare to sit down.
00:34:01Insolent.
00:34:02How dare you offend the Empress Dowager?
00:34:04Are you trying to get yourself killed?
00:34:05Lord Mottagyu.
00:34:06Please see clearly.
00:34:08Our Sterling family has long severed ties with Evelyn Sterling.
00:34:11Every word she says has nothing to do with us.
00:34:13That's right, my lord.
00:34:14Our Sterling family has always followed the rules.
00:34:17We would never dare speak against the royal family.
00:34:19Please see the truth, my lord.
00:34:21The President and the Royalty is the capital of crime.
00:34:23You must not let them go, my lord.
00:34:24Evelyn Sterling, your dear husband has now committed a heinous crime.
00:34:28No matter who comes today, they cannot save you.
00:34:32I can't.
00:34:33I can't.
00:34:33Lucas break up your arms.
00:34:34Sparrows, my lord.
00:34:35He didn't mean to offend.
00:34:39Evelyn!
00:34:44Evelyn, let's go.
00:34:45How dare you?
00:34:47Trying to run?
00:34:48Guards, stop them.
00:34:49Whoever dares to block us again, kill without mercy.
00:34:52Yes, sir.
00:34:56Trying to escape?
00:34:58It's not that easy.
00:34:59Lucas!
00:35:01Oh.
00:35:04Lucas!
00:35:09Lucas!
00:35:10Lucas!
00:35:12Josephine Sterling, why is your heart so vicious?
00:35:15Lucas has no grievance with you, yet you harms him so cruelly.
00:35:18This filthy beggar actually tried to have some disfigure me?
00:35:21Of course I couldn't let you leave.
00:35:23Lucas!
00:35:23Stop looking.
00:35:28Your man won't be here to save you this time.
00:35:30You've got a death wish!
00:35:31Lucas!
00:35:33Well, you still can't hurry and go.
00:35:35I can't!
00:35:36Go?
00:35:37You still think he can go?
00:35:40Josephine Sterling, why won't you just let me go?
00:35:44I have to admit.
00:35:48Sister, you're truly fortunate.
00:35:50Even marrying a beggar, you still found true love.
00:35:53What a pity.
00:35:54The more you're like this, the more impossible it is for me to let you have your way.
00:35:58You-
00:35:58Josephine.
00:36:00The grudge between us should not involve others.
00:36:03You can do whatever you want to me.
00:36:05I beg you.
00:36:06Let Lucas go, please.
00:36:08Avalyn, you don't need to waste your breath on her.
00:36:11I can't drag you into this.
00:36:12How touching, even at a time like this.
00:36:16You still have time to flirt with this filthy beggar?
00:36:19Since your feelings run so deep, I might as well send you both to death together.
00:36:26What are you waiting for?
00:36:28Die!
00:36:29I will watch out!
00:36:30The Emperor Stowager has arrived!
00:36:34I'd like to see who dares harm my royal son!
00:36:40He really is the Emperor?
00:36:44He-
00:36:45He really is the Emperor?
00:36:47Avalyn!
00:36:47Avalyn!
00:36:48Imperial physician!
00:36:49Call the Imperial physician quickly!
00:36:51Your Majesty!
00:36:51Victor Langley, I ordered her to immediately send her back for treatment.
00:36:56If anything happens to her, I'll make sure you pay!
00:36:58You're severed, her base!
00:36:58Come, come, come!
00:37:00Hurry!
00:37:03Your Majesty, all members of the Starling family have been arrested.
00:37:06Your Majesty?
00:37:08Your Majesty?
00:37:09Your Majesty?
00:37:09What do you call them?
00:37:13Your Majesty?
00:37:14Wasn't he a beggar?
00:37:15Pass down my decree.
00:37:17Sebastian Serding and his family are executed on the spot.
00:37:20Master!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:25Madam 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.
00:37:35Spare me.
00:37:36Please, your majesty.
00:37:37Spare me, Your Majesty!
00:37:38Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:37:39to 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?
00:37:58Empress Dowager, I did commit a grave offense, but it was all under the orders of the Starling 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!
00:38:10Have 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 lighter.
00:38:20The Sterling family is a household of commoners.
00:38:23To execute them all is indeed lacking consideration for the women.
00:38:27I saw that woman was badly injured, my son.
00:38:30You should go tend to her quickly.
00:38:31Lucas, are you alright?
00:38:51Are you alright?
00:38:52Did you get hurt?
00:38:53I'm fine.
00:38:53Lie down quickly.
00:38:54The Imperius Physician said you have to lie down.
00:38:57Come on!
00:38:57Imperius Physician.
00:39:01What is going on?
00:39:03Why are we in the palace?
00:39:05What exactly happened?
00:39:08It was the Empress Dowager who saved us.
00:39:10The Empress Dowager?
00:39:13You want to make Evelyn Sterling your Empress?
00:39:16I absolutely do not approve.
00:39:17I pledge myself to Evelyn for life in private.
00:39:22Whether you approve or not, I will overcome all obstacles to make Evelyn my Empress.
00:39:26You!
00:39:29If you truly wish to make her Empress, she must pass my test.
00:39:34But...
00:39:34Before that, you must not let her know your identity.
00:39:42Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to stop you.
00:39:48She left the palace to pray.
00:39:50Just happened to walk by the Sterling State.
00:39:52That's how she saved us.
00:39:57Then...
00:39:57What about my father and the others?
00:39:59The Empress Dowager gave the order to have them all beat in 50 strikes each.
00:40:03Adrian Montague frequented 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.
00:40:16Exiled?
00:40:19Evelyn.
00:40:21From now on, I will protect you.
00:40:25I asked the Empress Dowager for a position
00:40:27and assigned you to the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:40:29From now on, the two of us will be working in the palace.
00:40:33That's wonderful.
00:40:36When the time comes,
00:40:38we may work in the palace for three to five years.
00:40:40Then we can leave together
00:40:41and live a simple life.
00:40:43Okay.
00:40:44Evelyn, I hope you can forgive me.
00:40:58Evelyn,
00:40:59when I have some 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 the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:41:17This one here is the steward of the Bureau,
00:41:22Ma'am Langston.
00:41:23If you need anything,
00:41:24just go to her.
00:41:27Greetings, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:30This one here is a newly arrived maid,
00:41:32Evelyn Sterling.
00:41:33In the days to come,
00:41:34please take good care of her,
00:41:35Ma'am Langston.
00:41:37Rest assured,
00:41:38I 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
00:41:52I'm being treated like a mistress?
00:41:58She...
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 thoroughly.
00:42:30You and I both work
00:42:31at 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
00:42:38that I ended up cleaning the toilet bowl.
00:42:40Some people must have used certain means
00:42:42to land a post here.
00:42:43And somehow even earned
00:42:44Ma'am Langston's favor.
00:42:45She got all the easiest 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 can wear.
00:43:11Hurry and inform
00:43:11Madam Langston.
00:43:12Someone is stealing!
00:43:13Someone is stealing!
00:43:13Someone is stealing!
00:43:13Oh, Majesty!
00:43:14Give it back to me!
00:43:16Right now!
00:43:28What are you waiting for?
00:43:31Grab her!
00:43:33Everyone,
00:43:34stop right there!
00:43:35Your Grace!
00:43:41The Imperial Household Bureau
00:43:44is 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,
00:43:53I am disguised as a Bureau Matron
00:43:54because I want to truly 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 behave
00:44:13so wildly.
00:44:14What do you take
00:44:15the Imperial Household Bureau for?
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,
00:44:30Linsden,
00:44:30please let me explain.
00:44:32This isn't what happened.
00:44:33Enough.
00:44:34Hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:44:38The pendant
00:44:40belongs to me.
00:44:43I said
00:44:44hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:44:58The Dragon Jade Pendant.
00:45:02It truly
00:45:02belongs to
00:45:03His Majesty.
00:45:04The Dragon Jade Pendant.
00:45:06It truly
00:45:06belongs to
00:45:07His 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
00:45:13pendant.
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
00:45:21one 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.
00:45:26This 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
00:45:33belong to
00:45:33His Majesty.
00:45:34We confirm
00:45:35the pendant
00:45:35belongs to
00:45:36my son.
00:45:36Wouldn't that
00:45:37expose
00:45:37Sister Identity?
00:45:39No.
00:45:40We can't rely
00:45:41on the object
00:45:41to prove
00:45:42there was
00:45:42theft 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
00:45:48with me.
00:45:48If you are
00:45:49truly innocent,
00:45:50I will make
00:45:50things right
00:45:51for you.
00:45:52Thank you,
00:45:53Ma'am.
00:45:54This is the
00:45:54new steward,
00:45:55Madam Williams.
00:45:56From now on,
00:45:57she will work
00:45:58with me
00:45:58to manage
00:45:59the 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
00:46:04palace rules.
00:46:06Yes, Ma'am.
00:46:11Your bullying
00:46:12of your colleague
00:46:13has not been
00:46:13settled yet.
00:46:14You are to
00:46:14clean toilet bowl
00:46:15as punishment.
00:46:16You may eat
00:46:17only when you
00:46:17finish.
00:46:21Yes, Ma'am.
00:46:21to the
00:46:38least.
00:46:39Oh, isn't this
00:46:41much better?
00:46:41Your Majesty, Miss Caldwell has come to the palace again today. Do you wish to see her?
00:46:55No. Tell her to go back where she came from.
00:46:58This...
00:46:59You. Go back. I'm going to see Avalyn. If you follow me, you'll expose my identity.
00:47:05Out of the way.
00:47:09Avalyn. Avalyn.
00:47:11Lucas. Why are you here?
00:47:19How can Madam Langston let you do this kind of work? I'll go speak with her. I'll go speak with her.
00:47:26Lucas.
00:47:28It's just cleaning the toilet bowl is not a big deal.
00:47:32Avalyn.
00:47:36I...
00:47:37I'm sorry you had to endure this. I 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? Why is it that they keep saying that the pendant belongs to His Majesty?
00:47:59Uh, my father... My father once won first place in the Imperial Exam. To encourage outstanding scholars, His Majesty rewarded him with the jade pendant. This is how it came into our hands.
00:48:08Oh, I see. All they say is His Majesty, His Majesty. I thought maybe you were lying to me.
00:48:18Who's there?
00:48:19It's Madam Willems. Hurry up, go. Don't let her see you.
00:48:25Tomorrow. I'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?
00:49:03Madam 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. I'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. All she asked was for you to collect the morning dew. You should be grateful.
00:49:30The pendant wasn't stolen at all. Stop falsely accusing me.
00:49:32Not stolen? Are you saying His Majesty gave it to you himself?
00:49:35You...
00:49:35The night air is damped with dew. I'm going inside to get my own blanket. Is that not allowed?
00:49:49Huh. What arrogance.
00:49:51This is the Imperial Palace. There's no such thing as yours or mine.
00:49:54Don't think that just because Malin lost so 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!
00:50:24You're the Emperor.
00:50:32You're His Majesty.
00:50:35Insolent servant!
00:50:39You must never let her discover your true identity.
00:50:42My deepest apologies, Your Majesty.
00:50:54I merely saw someone injured and acted out of concern.
00:50:59Fortunately, it wasn't His Majesty.
00:51:01But...
00:51:02Has Master Langley been by His Majesty's side?
00:51:05Master Langley...
00:51:07What is going on here?
00:51:08Oh, this young guy in here, he bears a strike in resemblance to His Majesty.
00:51:14I specifically brought him to the palace to interrogate him.
00:51:17Uh-uh.
00:51:18Hey, you, the new one.
00:51:20How can you be so ignorant of the rules?
00:51:21Don't you know you should 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...
00:51:46Fraternizing with the guards is a grave matter.
00:51:50Yet Madam Williams merely punished her with kneeling.
00:51:53The last time she stole a jade pendant, that incident was also swept under the rug.
00:51:57Tell me, if His Majesty knew she had stolen his jade pendant, how do you think he would handle her?
00:52:03I shall inform His Majesty at once.
00:52:16It was you who stole his jade pendant.
00:52:18Let us see if he will still let you off so easily.
00:52:20Ah!
00:52:22Ah, my face!
00:52:24Ah, my face!
00:52:25Ah, my face!
00:52:27Ah, my face!
00:52:28Ah!
00:52:28You foolish serpent!
00:52:30What have you put in this ball?
00:52:31I-I obtained a recipe from a tallist who claimed they could enhance one's beauty when consumed.
00:52:40I only wished to do what was best for Madam Williams, which is why I acted so foolishly.
00:52:44How dare you serve something of unknown origin to ma'am, if this rash on her face does not fade?
00:52:51How will you atone for this?
00:52:53Madam!
00:52:53Guards, drag her away and sell her to a slave trader!
00:52:57Oh, Madam Williams, have mercy!
00:52:59Madam, have mercy, please!
00:53:00Madam!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:02Madam, have mercy!
00:53:04Madam!
00:53:06Madam!
00:53:08May I be permitted to try?
00:53:11You?
00:53:13You?
00:53:14I have studied medical texts, and I can prepare herbal remedy that might alleviate the rash
00:53:19on your face.
00:53:23If...
00:53:24If my methods prove effective, I beg you, Madam, to spare Isabella's life.
00:53:32His majesty has not paid me attention for a long time, yet I hear he has recently been
00:53:48visiting Imperial Household Bureau.
00:53:50Tell me who could be in the Imperial Household Bureau to capture his majesty's interests so deeply.
00:53:55I don't know!
00:53:56I know nothing!
00:53:57Speak!
00:53:58I remember now!
00:54:03There is indeed someone who dares to do such a thing!
00:54:06Oh?
00:54:17It may not look appealing, but it is true that the rash has faded somewhat.
00:54:24It seems you do have some skill.
00:54:26Thank you for your praise, Madam.
00:54:29Madam, you need to only wait six more hours, and the rash will completely disappear.
00:54:34What 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.
00:55:11Why would I scold you?
00:55:23So 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.
00:55:42Let's go.
00:55:46Your 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.
00:55:58I'll see you to chestnut cake.
00:56:02It was her.
00:56:12It was you who seduced his majesty.
00:56:14With 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 wondering.
00:56:24But when did your lowly servants dare to entertain such wicked thoughts?
00:56:28When did Evelyn ever seduce his majesty?
00:56:31Isabella, have you forgotten how much we suffered because of her?
00:56:33Evelyn never once provoked me intentionally.
00:56:35It was you who kept picking fights deliberately.
00:56:39Isabella.
00:56:39Do you even know who I am?
00:56:43How dare you act so insolently in my presence?
00:56:46Susan.
00:56:50Wait.
00:56:51The person standing before you is Lady Caldwell.
00:56:54Daughter of Chancellor Caldwell.
00:56:55She's the one the Empress Dodge Rager has chosen to be Empress.
00:56:58What a fool.
00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell is the esteemed daughter of the Chancellor,
00:57:02surely 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,
00:57:13but also entangled yourself with the guards.
00:57:15That face of yours is too dangerous to keep him in front of you.
00:57:23Stop!
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.
00:58:02Preposterous!
00:58:04Do you even know who stands before you?
00:58:07Aren'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.
00:58:18I never expected you to be so venomous at heart.
00:58:26Her majesty truly misjudged you.
00:58:29You didn't call yourself her majesty?
00:58:31Who are you taking yourself for?
00:58:32The Empress Dowager?
00:58:38A disfigured old wretch like you.
00:58:40Derecee used the title of the Empress Dowager.
00:58:42It seems you've grown tired of living.
00:58:44It seems you still refuse to admit your wrongdoing.
00:58:46What wrong have I done?
00:58:48You born into lowly status can only be servants of the palace.
00:58:51To defy your superiors is to seek death.
00:58:54You, Lady Catwell, 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 Household Bureau,
00:59:05you have allowed your maid to seduce his majesty.
00:59:07Such behaviors as a dangerous example, this is unforgivable.
00:59:11Fetch my way.
00:59:16The Spring Blossom banquet will be held at the beginning of next month.
00:59:20This year, all the nobles and dignitaries will be in attendance.
00:59:23Everything must be prepared perfectly.
00:59:25Your majesty, rest assured.
00:59:27I 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?
00:59:37His humble maid greets your majesty and beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling.
00:59:41What did you say?
00:59:42Evelyn's in danger.
00:59:48His majesty?
00:59:50His humble maid greets your majesty and beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling.
00:59:54What did you say?
00:59:56Evelyn's in danger.
01:00:08What are you doing?
01:00:11It was me who offended Lady Cowell.
01:00:12Did I not wish for him, who suffered punishment on my account?
01:00:17Since you are so eager to play the hero, I shall grant your wish today.
01:00:21Enough!
01:00:22Anna Caldwell, her majesty advises you not to go too far, otherwise...
01:00:26You called yourself her majesty again, you reckless wretch?
01:00:29Today, I shall teach you the rules on behalf of the Empress that was...
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.
01:00:42I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:44I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:44I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:45I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:45I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:46I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:46I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:47I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:47I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:48How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:49How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:50How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:51How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:52How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:53How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:58How is this possible?
01:01:00Her Majesty was merely testing you, but she never expected you to be so insolent.
01:01:05How dare you overstep and offend Her Majesty herself?
01:01:09Your Majesty, this humble subject admits her fault.
01:01:13I failed to recognize that you were the Empress Dowager.
01:01:15I beg Your Majesty for forgiveness. I beg the Emperor for mercy.
01:01:19The Emperor?
01:01:23This humble official believes this matter is of great importance.
01:01:27It concerns the dignity of the Empress Dowager.
01:01:28I implore Your Majesty to carefully consider the matter.
01:01:37Exactly. How could you dare to offend the Empress Dowager?
01:01:42Admit your fault at once!
01:01:43This humble subject admits my fault.
01:01:46Your Majesty, it was this wretched man.
01:01:48She told me to seduce His Majesty.
01:01:51This is why I lost my composure.
01:01:54Lady Caldwell, it was clearly you.
01:01:56Simon, if it weren't for your manipulation, how could I have spoken so recklessly before the Empress Dowager?
01:02:00The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble.
01:02:04Take her away and sell her at once.
01:02:07The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble.
01:02:10Take her away and sell her at once.
01:02:11Your Majesty, have mercy. I 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, I beg Your Majesty.
01:02:20You are the eldest daughter of the sturdy camera.
01:02:22How dare you?
01:02:22Anna Caldwell, I always believed you to be a kind-hearted, yet I never expected you to be ruthless.
01:02:28You've overstepped your place and still dare to dream of becoming Empress.
01:02:31You are sentenced to one year in the Office of Discipline to reflect on your actions.
01:02:34Office of Discipline.
01:02:35No, Your Majesty.
01:02:36This humble subject admits her fault.
01:02:38Your Majesty, please spare me.
01:02:40I do not want to go to the Office of Discipline.
01:02:43I have questions for you.
01:02:53Where is Her Majesty taking them?
01:03:03Evelyn!
01:03:05Lucas, did the Empress Dowager punish you?
01:03:07Of course not.
01:03:08Her Majesty wishes to discuss the Spring Blossom Banquet with me.
01:03:12That's a relief.
01:03:14Evelyn.
01:03:17Evelyn has passed the test.
01:03:18Wonderful.
01:03:19I will reveal my identity to her and make her my Empress.
01:03:22There is no need to rush the coronation.
01:03:25The Ministry of Rights is preparing for the Spring Blossom Banquet next month.
01:03:29They may not have enough resources to manage both.
01:03:32Moreover, this matter is too sudden.
01:03:34I'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.
01:03:57Don't worry.
01:03:59Trust your abilities.
01:04:00You shall triumph.
01:04:01I'll also assist you behind the scenes.
01:04:07All right.
01:04:14Get moving, all of you.
01:04:16If anyone there is a slack-off, my whip shows no mercy.
01:04:25Useless fool.
01:04:27Do you still think you're a pampered young lady?
01:04:29Huh?
01:04:30Once you're in the office of discipline, no one gets to laze around.
01:04:38Evelyn Sterling, this is all your fault.
01:04:40Don't touch me!
01:04:45I'm the daughter of Chancellor Caldwell!
01:04:47But I better show some respect!
01:04:54The 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,
01:05:04and find a way to bring Adrian to the Spring Blossom Banquet,
01:05:07I can surely turn things around.
01:05:09What a wretched place!
01:05:16They expect me, a lady, to wash my clothes myself?
01:05:21Where did this lowly maid come from?
01:05:23I...
01:05:24Lady, I have an urgent request.
01:05:29When? Why should I help you?
01:05:31I am a noble bird.
01:05:33Were it not for this temporary misfortune,
01:05:35you wouldn't even be worthy to speak to me.
01:05:39My elder sister, Evelyn Sterling, is the reason I was in prison here.
01:05:44If you help escape, I shall be forever indebted to you.
01:05:50Evelyn Sterling?
01:05:51Not bad.
01:05:57The banquet itinerary is clear and well-structured.
01:06:00It is evident that much effort was put into it.
01:06:02And trusting you at the banquet's organization was indeed a wide choice.
01:06:05Many thanks for your majesty's praise.
01:06:08Your majesty!
01:06:08Terrible news!
01:06:10The office of discipline is on fire!
01:06:11What?
01:06:19Sir!
01:06:20What is the situation inside?
01:06:21The fire has engulfed the entire rear courtyard.
01:06:23Nearly half the people couldn't make it out.
01:06:26Anna Caldwell.
01:06:27Your majesty!
01:06:39Your majesty!
01:06:40This humble subject has come to realize my mistakes.
01:06:43I beg you to spare me from this punishment.
01:06:46The office of discipline is a place I cannot enjoy even for a single day longer.
01:06:49As long as you're alive, at least this allows me to account for your well-being to your father.
01:06:54Enough!
01:06:55With your temperament, staying in the office of discipline would serve no purpose.
01:06:58Next month, you shall be the one to marry into Lior Empire.
01:07:02What?
01:07:03I'm married to Lai?
01:07:05What?
01:07:06Are you unwilling?
01:07:07Or would you prefer to continue staying in the office of discipline?
01:07:12No!
01:07:14This humble subject humbly obeys your majesty's decree.
01:07:18I shall depart for the marriage alliance next month.
01:07:23However, I have an impertinent request.
01:07:26I was able to escape this calamity.
01:07:28Thanks to Josephine Sterling risking her life to save,
01:07:31I dare to ask that your majesty release Josephine Sterling from the office of discipline.
01:07:35I pay your respects to your majesty.
01:07:41I remember.
01:07:42Josephine is your sister.
01:07:44Tell me, how should I reward her?
01:07:52Empress Dowager, we were never close since childhood.
01:07:56Our bond is not strong.
01:07:57I don't get a say in this.
01:08:01Since you have agreed to the marriage alliance, then so be it.
01:08:04Let's go back.
01:08:05Thank you for your grace.
01:08:09Thank you for your grace.
01:08:18Evelyn Sterling, I thought you had sword height already.
01:08:24Turns out, you're still that low.
01:08:26You've ruined our parents and montags.
01:08:28And also got me thrown into the office of discipline.
01:08:32About that, I will make sure you pay it.
01:08:46Edmund, 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.
01:09:08Husband!
01:09:09Why are you back?
01:09:10The 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, you should think how to get back at her.
01:09:30Get back at her?
01:09:32She's like royalty now.
01:09:34How to get back at her, huh?
01:09:36I saw her once at the Office of Discipline.
01:09:39She was wearing a lonely palace-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?
01:10:09What 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 going to be all nobles and high officials.
01:10:48Check everything thoroughly.
01:10:49We cannot afford any mistakes.
01:10:54Oh, stop worrying.
01:10:56We've confirmed every detail multiple times already.
01:10:58There won't be any problems.
01:11:00Let's hope so.
01:11:01Avalyn.
01:11:02Avalyn.
01:11:04Avalyn.
01:11:13Avalyn.
01:11:14If you like these pastries, I can get you more.
01:11:16Glad this is a remote area with no patrols.
01:11:25Otherwise, I can't meet like this.
01:11:27Avalyn.
01:11:36Avalyn.
01:11:38Once 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.
01:11:45Husband, look over there.
01:11:54Look over there.
01:11:59Avalyn.
01:12:00And a palace guard.
01:12:01Oh, 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.
01:12:28This is the Imperial Palace.
01:12:40Not your place, all right?
01:12:41Everything you do here is washed by his majesty and the Empress Gouger.
01:12:45They were just released.
01:12:46Have you learned your lesson?
01:12:48My husband and I were invited here as honored guests for the banquet.
01:12:53You're nothing but a maid.
01:12:54If you serve us well, I may reward you.
01:12:59If not, you'll get kicked out.
01:13:02You were lucky to have gone away last time.
01:13:06No one can protect you this time.
01:13:10What do you mean?
01:13:12I want to destroy you.
01:13:14From head to toe.
01:13:17Greetings, Empress Gouger.
01:13:18Greetings, Empress Gouger.
01:13:30Evelyn.
01:13:32Preparing the banquet must be exhausting.
01:13:34Once it is over, I will reward you properly.
01:13:38It's just my duty.
01:13:39Thanks for your grace.
01:13:42Your Highness, I have something to say.
01:13:44Speak.
01:13:45I wish to report Evelyn's improper relationship with the guard.
01:13:52Oh?
01:13:53I saw it with my own eyes.
01:13:55Evelyn and a guard were extremely intimate.
01:13:58When caught, they tried to cover it up.
01:14:00If they're this bold in broad daylight, who knows what they do in secret?
01:14:05Your Highness, I did have a contact with a guard.
01:14:09But before entering the palace, we already had developed feelings.
01:14:12In the palace, we only met occasionally.
01:14:15There was nothing improper.
01:14:17If you weren't guilty, why did you hurry away in that moment you saw us?
01:14:21This should be punishable by death.
01:14:25Your Highness, I insist on seeing him.
01:14:28If this matter deserves punishment, please spare the guard's life.
01:14:33Since neither of you are innocent, your 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?
01:15:51It's about to begin.
01:15:53You'll be late.
01:15:54I've thought it over.
01:15:55I should let her know the truth before the banquet.
01:15:58Go tell Evelyn.
01:15:59To meet me will reward before.
01:16:01What?
01:16:04Eunuch Langley.
01:16:06Come here.
01:16:08So, 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.
01:16:27How is it?
01:16:31Assassins, protect the Empress dowager.
01:16:36What's going on inside?
01:16:37An assassin disguised in sedan, sir.
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?
01:16:47There is an assassin.
01:16:49We are arresting Evelyn to the judicial court.
01:16:51What?
01:16:51Me?
01:16:51I...
01:16:52I...
01:16:53My 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 Caldwell.
01:17:09She was in charge of the palace banquet.
01:17:11How dare you?
01:17:12How dare you plan assassination against the Empress dowager?
01:17:16Are you rebelling?
01:17:18I'm not.
01:17:19I personally verified the identity of everyone.
01:17:22I have no idea where the assassin came from.
01:17:24Of course you don't.
01:17:25Right before the banquet, 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.
01:17:39Bring 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 you're as 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.
01:18:22If not, for my husband's great reaction.
01:18:25You should have been executed by now.
01:18:28Chancellor Caldwell.
01:18:29I really don't know about the assassin.
01:18:31I beg you to grant me some time.
01:18:33I will cover the truth behind this matter.
01:18:35Enough.
01:18:36Bate 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 our order.
01:18:55Chesler, I'm begging you.
01:18:57Chesler.
01:18:57Chesler, don't.
01:18:59Chesler, please.
01:19:01Chesler.
01:19:03Lucas.
01:19:03I'm sorry.
01:19:05It's not my fault.
01:19:06I'm so sorry.
01:19:07I'm so sorry.
01:19:07Stop now.
01:19:26Don't you dare touch her.
01:19:29Your Majesty.
01:19:30Long 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.
01:20:10I beg you.
01:20:11Your Majesty issued an order at once to imprison her for further interrogation.
01:20:15Chesler, God 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.
01:20:45If 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.
01:21:30Your Majesty is wise.
01:21:32Following your orders, I've already arranged for guards to capture the assassin.
01:21:38Your Majesty, spare me.
01:21:40The assassination was all Josephine and Andrea'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.
01:21:48Guards, 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.
01:22:09Your Majesty.
01:22:10This has nothing to do with me.
01:22:11It was all her.
01:22:12She ordered me to do it.
01:22:13You're lying.
01:22:14Your Majesty, 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 Montague, Josephine Sterling, as masterminds, will be executed right now.
01:22:32Law, Catherine, in the Judicial Court.
01:22:37Wait for further orders.
01:22:38Your Majesty.
01:22:40Your Majesty.
01:22:41Please give me a chance, Your Majesty.
01:22:42Your Majesty.
01:22:43Your Majesty.
01:22:44Your Majesty.
01:22:44I hate you.
01:22:45If that were you, all of this would have been fine.
01:22:48No, no.
01:22:50It's all because of yourself, not me.
01:22:54You brought all of this upon yourself.
01:22:56You brought all of this upon yourself.
01:23:26My Highness.
01:23:26You 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!
01:23:56Long live, Your Highness!
01:23:58You
