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!
00:00:26Murder!
00:00:27Murder!
00:00:28Murder!
00:00:29Murder!
00:00:41Sitting.
00:00:42ui?
00:00:43Don't call me Sister!
00:00:44You are unworthy!
00:00:45We are both daughters of the Stirling family!
00:00:47Why Sould you live better than me!?
00:00:49If only Adrienne Montault caught my bridle bow, three years ago.
00:00:56A SENPS crown!
00:00:57This thing for you is nothing but an illusion. If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.
00:01:27Master, 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.
00:01:39For 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.
00:01:48Have I been reborn just three years ago? The very day of the husband seeking bridal bond.
00:01:54My lady, it's time to cast your bond.
00:02:00Sister, please let me go first.
00:02:04In my past life, Josephine insists that I go first. Feigning modesty and humility. Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.
00:02:18Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me! Lady Josephine, come on!
00:02:25In this life, I have to marry Asian!
00:02:37Tim, 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!
00:02:46I actually altered my fate. Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank and I shall become a noble lady of honor!
00:02:55Josephine, you have schemed relentlessly. But little do you know that you are going to suffer a lot in the evil Montague family.
00:03:04Great, 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?
00:03:24You are truly fortunate. As your sister, I am happy for you.
00:03:28Evelyn, Lady Luck is with me this time. In this life, I will never let you overshadow me again.
00:03:35That is...
00:03:41Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:03:44Master, if the Empress tower did you find, you're dressed like this.
00:03:50Mother's been always pressing me. I can only leave the palace for some peace.
00:03:54This is a perfect chance to experience the life of ordinary folk.
00:03:59Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
00:04:01Let's have a look!
00:04:03In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal bull. I had to run away and then suffer a lot.
00:04:09This time, I shall let you taste the pain of being abandoned by your own kin.
00:04:15Master, our family has now secured ties with the Montagues.
00:04:19Evelyn, now it's your turn. And you better aim as close as Josephine.
00:04:25Mother, how could you say such a thing?
00:04:28Sister has always been lucky and she would never bring shame upon us.
00:04:31In my opinion, in the moment, she will surely get the finest husband.
00:04:40Powerful or not, rich or not, it's only written on water.
00:04:45In this life, I seek only a true companion to live a peaceful life till the end.
00:04:54Ah!
00:05:03It's him.
00:05:06It's him. The beggar that Josephine ran away from.
00:05:09Oh no! It actually went to a beggar!
00:05:15Sister!
00:05:16What terrible luck you have!
00:05:18A beggar out of so many people down there!
00:05:20How do you expect father to hold his head high?
00:05:23Dammit!
00:05:25With so many people down there, how could you cast it to a beggar?
00:05:28Are you deliberately trying to shame me?
00:05:30What's done is done, sister. Do not be too upset.
00:05:33Though 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.
00:05:42But now bound to a beggar, you shall have to labor yourself to earn your bread.
00:05:48Now this will be quite the spectacle.
00:05:49The esteemed Lady Evelyn will marry a beggar?
00:05:52Everyone is watching.
00:05:53If she refuses, it's going to ruin their credit.
00:05:55Who would associate with them more?
00:05:57Hey! Hey! Cease her! Don't let her escape!
00:06:03Master, how did this bridal bull end up in your hands?
00:06:07What should we do now? It's the Scottish!
00:06:09I'm dressed in such rags. She won't agree.
00:06:13Sister, why are you running? You cast the bridal bull yourself!
00:06:20You 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!
00:06:31In my past life, I was mistreated by the Montagues and used for Sterling's ambitions.
00:06:37Thinking back now, perhaps marrying a beggar would be a better fate.
00:06:42The rule of the bridal bull is binding. Since he caught the bull, you should...
00:06:47I am willing to marry him!
00:06:49What?!
00:06:59My name is Evelyn Sterling. What's yours?
00:07:02I am Lu... Lucas Prescott.
00:07:10With all present as my witnesses today, I, Evelyn Sterling, willing to take Lucas Prescott as my husband.
00:07:18Are you serious?
00:07:24Yeah. The ball is in your hands. You wanna... reject me?
00:07:33I didn't. It's just that I'm poor as hell. Marrying me would mean a life of a certainty. Are you sure?
00:07:41We're not disabled or something. We may be poor now, but we can always earn our money.
00:07:49We can work hard to make a living ourselves.
00:07:53I've never seen someone so easily content.
00:07:56He's just a filthy beggar! You're really gonna marry him?
00:08:00Evelyn, you're sure about this? Marry this beggar, and your future is ruined!
00:08:07I do not believe that is true. Future won't be decided like that.
00:08:11Lucas, he may be in rags now, but I can see his humility and good manner. He's gonna make a difference, maybe.
00:08:19You are... Rule is rule. You're not eating your words, are you, sir?
00:08:25Indeed. If he refuses, that's breaking the rules, and gonna ruin their reputation. Seems well, she has to marry him.
00:08:31Indeed, marry him! Indeed, marry him!
00:08:34Since you wanna marry him, don't blame us in the future. You won't get a share of the coming glory of us.
00:08:42I understand.
00:08:44The matchmaking is concluded. Everyone disperse.
00:08:51Sister, no hard feelings.
00:08:55But marrying a beggar means you will spend your life beneath me.
00:09:01You should worry about yourself. Life with the Montague's is not as easy as you imagine.
00:09:08Hmph!
00:09:12You...
00:09:16In three days, remember to come to propose.
00:09:22It's her or Mother's pressing, so I might as well...
00:09:27Alright, I'll be there.
00:09:33Today, the second daughter of the Silent Family is to be wed.
00:09:36Her dowry includes a pair of gold Phoenix hairpins laid with precious gems, plenty of boats of fine brocade, three land deeds for silk shops in the Eastern District.
00:09:46Lady Josephine Sterling's salary is worth a fortune, yet Lady Evelyn Sterling has nothing at all.
00:09:51They're both daughters of the Sterling family, but the difference between them is astonishing.
00:09:55Sister, after marrying a beggar, you will likely toil for the rest of your life. I wonder if you can even endure such life.
00:10:01It's the bridegroom. The bridegroom has arrived.
00:10:02Oh, as expected of the second son of the Montague family, the spectacle is grand indeed.
00:10:07Of course, the Montagues hold immense power. Marrying into their family, Lady Josephine Sterling will live a life of endless luxury.
00:10:13Unlike Evelyn, marrying a beggar, this will certainly be an interesting sight to behold.
00:10:16My respects to my honor, father and mother-in-law.
00:10:17Please rise, my son-in-law.
00:10:18My son-in-law.
00:10:19My son-in-law.
00:10:20Such an elaborate wedding procession is a spectacle worthy of Highgate.
00:10:22For our dear Josephine to be regarded so highly by you is an honor to the Sterling family.
00:10:27The spectacle is grand indeed.
00:10:28Of course, the Montagues hold immense power.
00:10:30Marrying into their family, Lady Josephine Sterling will live a life of endless luxury.
00:10:33Unlike Evelyn, marrying a beggar, this will certainly be an interesting sight to behold.
00:10:36My respects to my honor, father and mother-in-law.
00:10:38Please rise, my son-in-law.
00:10:39My son-in-law.
00:10:40Such an elaborate wedding procession is a spectacle worthy of Highgate.
00:10:43For our dear Josephine to be regarded so highly by you is an honor to the Sterling family.
00:10:49Sister, the auspicious hour is nearly over.
00:10:52Why has your husband not come for you?
00:10:54Could it be that he's not coming at all?
00:11:03I, your humble son-in-law, greet my honored father-in-law.
00:11:11My lady.
00:11:16My lady.
00:11:17Are you here to beg for the alms or take a bride?
00:11:20Dressed in such rags, do you not feel ashamed?
00:11:22Compared to Lord Montague, you are as far apart as heaven and earth.
00:11:27Just what are you wearing?
00:11:29In front of so many esteemed officials, are you not bringing shame upon me?
00:11:33Today is your wedding day.
00:11:35And yet you came dressed like this?
00:11:37Do you not find this is a disgrace?
00:11:39Do you not finding this humiliating?
00:11:41Marriage is a lifelong commitment, building upon sincerity, not mere appearances.
00:11:45The man I, Evelyn Sterling, have chosen is not one whose worth can be swayed by idle words.
00:11:50Have you not embarrassed us enough?
00:11:52Master, do not be angered.
00:11:55From the moment Evelyn steps beyond this threshold, she'll no longer be a Sterling.
00:12:00The auspicious hour has arrived. Bring the bride to the carriage!
00:12:12This is the...
00:12:16Congratulations, Master Sterling. Your son-in-law is truly an exceptional man.
00:12:21Many thanks, Deputy Minister. Please come inside.
00:12:26Off to you.
00:12:30Surely you didn't arrive on foot today.
00:12:33On such a big day, will you have the bride walk all the way to your home?
00:12:38Unheard of.
00:12:40Indeed. Not like my husband.
00:12:46My lady, please, allow me to take you home.
00:12:51Let's take a moment.
00:13:02Let's walk.

00:19:34you must hold great influence indeed
00:19:35gifts from the palace?
00:19:37but it must be from his majesty himself
00:19:39it was personally arranged by the chief eunuch at his majesty's side
00:19:42he said
00:19:43for the sterling family's
00:19:45eldest daughter
00:19:48mr. ashford

00:20:46do you not feel ashamed?
00:20:48it's not about the quality of gifts but the sincerity behind them
00:20:51i see nothing inappropriate in this
00:20:53i've poured my heart and effort into raising you and yet not only did you marry a beggar but you even bring back these worthless rags to disgrace me
00:21:00the sterling family has no place for such a disgraceful daughter
00:21:04simply because i married lucas you feel justified to humiliate me like this
00:21:09josephine acts in the best interest of the sterling family unlike you who married a beggar bringing disgrace upon us all
00:21:15disgrace
00:21:18it's only because josephine is only because josephine is only because josephine married into wealth that you so readily indulge her
00:21:24insolent child such outrageous defiance who has put these ideas in your head
00:21:28is it not the truth in your eyes a daughter is nothing more than a pawn to secure power and favor
00:21:36outrageous how dare you speak to your father in such a manner
00:21:45dragon jade pendant
00:21:46dragon jade i must inform his majesty
00:21:55give it back to me
00:21:57this jade pendant looks of fine quality
00:22:01from where did you steal it sister
00:22:04it is from lucas give it back
00:22:08that wretched beggar he will never possess such a fine pendant he must have stolen it from somewhere
00:22:14what right have you to make such rash accusations lucas may not be of noble birth like you but you
00:22:19believe that possessing a jade pendant is a rightful due yet lucas is not worthy of the same
00:22:23a worthless beggar's gift and you treat it like a treasure how ignorant
00:22:28you want the pendant very well but you must sever all ties with the sterlings
00:22:33you
00:22:38father
00:22:39will you truly indulge josephine's audacity am i not also your daughter
00:22:45you insisted on marrying a beggar bringing shame upon the sterling family you are unworthy to be my
00:22:51daughter on this day forth i have only one daughter josephine
00:22:55for the rest of my life i seek only to be with the one who is true of heart
00:23:07even if i must live on plain fair it is better than enduring cold to stay in the sterlings since that is the case
00:23:14i have a little sterling severe all ties with the sterling family we're here and forth strangers
00:23:31all for the sake of a worthless beggar you would sever ties with us it is fortunate we never placed our hopes in you
00:23:51is that not what father has always thought of why should i remain here only to be an eyesore to him
00:23:56hold it now that you wish to leave i fear it is too late
00:24:03guards bring the burning charcoal from the kitchen scattered across the board
00:24:09what are you trying to do
00:24:12your majesty something here was happened lady evelyn was humiliated at the sterling estate
00:24:16one's body and soul are bestowed by one's parents if you wish to sever ties you must first repay your
00:24:28parents kindness my lady speaks most reasonably given your current state it would be far too much to
00:24:34expect that you present anything of great value then you have no choice but to walk barefoot across this
00:24:40bed of burning charcoal
00:24:41it is pleasing so fiercely how could anyone survive walking across them i will not walk
00:24:50oh it seems dear sister that you no longer want this jade pendant
00:24:58stop
00:25:00lucas is the only one who has ever treated me well this jade pendant was left to him by his parents
00:25:06very well i will never allow his heartfelt gift to be trampled a couple i will walk
00:25:19for the sake of a filthy beggar you would go to such lengths you must have lost your mind

00:38:55physician said you have to lie down come on imperial physician
00:38:59What is going on? Why are we in the palace? What 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? I absolutely do not approve.
00:39:18I pledge myself to Evelyn for life in private.
00:39:22Whether you approve or not, I will overcome all obstacles to make Evelyn my Empress.
00:39:26You!
00:39:29If you truly wish to make her Empress, she must pass my test.
00:39:34But, but, before 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. Just happened to walk by the Sterling State. That's how she saved us.
00:39:53Then, what about my father and the others?
00:39:59The Empress Dowager gave the order to have them all beat in 50 strikes each.
00:40:03Adrian Montague frequented pleasure districts. His body couldn't take it and he fainted.
00:40:07The Empress Dowager ordered him to be put in confinement and 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.
00:40:15Exiled?
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 and assigned you to the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:40:29From now on, the two of us will be working in the palace.
00:40:34That's wonderful.
00:40:35When the time comes, we may work in the palace for three to five years.
00:40:40Then we can leave together and live a simple life.
00:40:43Okay.
00:40:50Evelyn, I hope you can forgive me.
00:40:58Evelyn, when I have some free time, I'll come to see you.
00:41:02Alright.
00:41:02This one here is the steward of the Bureau, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:23If you need anything, just go to her.
00:41:27Greetings, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:28This one here is a newly arrived maid, Evelyn Sterling.
00:41:33In the days to come, please take good care of her, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:37Rest assured, I will take good care of Miss Evelyn.
00:41:40I definitely won't let her do heavy work.
00:41:47Lucas.
00:41:49I came here to work, right?
00:41:51Why does it feel like I'm being treated like a mistress?
00:41:54She...
00:41:58Maybe she's a nice person.
00:42:08Miss Evelyn, please come with me.
00:42:12Go ahead.
00:42:13You, clean all of these thoroughly.
00:42:30You and I both work at the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:42:33The tasks are assigned in advance.
00:42:34Why should I be the one to do your work?
00:42:36You've got the nerves to ask.
00:42:37It's because of you that I ended up cleaning the toilet bowl.
00:42:40Some people must have used certain means to learn a post here.
00:42:43And somehow even earned Ma'am Langston's favor.
00:42:45She got all the Yeezy's work assigned to you.
00:42:47Give it back to me.
00:43:08The Dragon Jade Pendant?
00:43:09There's something only His Majesty can wear.
00:43:11Hurry and inform Madam Langston.
00:43:12Someone is stealing.
00:43:14What Majesty?
00:43:15Give it back to me.
00:43:16Right now.
00:43:16What are you waiting for?
00:43:31Grab her!
00:43:33Everyone, stop right there!
00:43:41Your Grace.
00:43:42The Imperial Household Bureau is such a crude place.
00:43:45You have never come here before.
00:43:47It might harm your noble health.
00:43:49Allow me to announce your arrival.
00:43:51No need.
00:43:52This time, I am disguised as a Bureau Matron.
00:43:54Because I want to truly know Evelyn Sterling.
00:43:57She must never learn of my identity.
00:44:00Palace rules are strict.
00:44:11I was only gone for a little while.
00:44:12And you dare behave so wildly.
00:44:14What do you take the Imperial Household Bureau for?
00:44:16Ma'am, she stole His Majesty's Jade Pendant.
00:44:21The one thing most forbidden in the harm is thee.
00:44:23She feared being exposed and even tried to harm me.
00:44:26Ma'am, you must punish her properly.
00:44:28Ma'am Linsden, please let me explain.
00:44:32This isn't what happened.
00:44:33Enough.
00:44:34Hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:44:38The pendant belongs to me.
00:44:41I said hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:45:00The Dragon Jade Pendant.
00:45:02It truly belongs to His Majesty.
00:45:04The Dragon Jade Pendant.
00:45:06It truly belongs to His Majesty.
00:45:08The Emperor even gave her something this important?
00:45:11She even dares to steal His Majesty's Pendant.
00:45:14In the future, who knows what outrageous things she might do?
00:45:17Palace rules are very clear.
00:45:19Anyone caught stealing goods worth more than one dollar will have their left foot cut off and be branded.
00:45:24Ma'am, please listen to my explanation.
00:45:27This pendant was given to me by someone very dear to me.
00:45:30It was definitely not stolen.
00:45:31I truly don't know how I could belong to His Majesty.
00:45:34We confirm the pendant belongs to my son.
00:45:36Wouldn't that expose us to your identity?
00:45:39No.
00:45:40We can't rely on the object to prove there was theft involved.
00:45:43I'll thoroughly investigate this matter until the truth is found.
00:45:47The pendant will remain with me.
00:45:48If you are truly innocent, I will make things right for you.
00:45:51Thank you, ma'am.
00:45:54This is the new steward, Madam Williams.
00:45:56From now on, she will work with me to manage the Bureau.
00:45:59All of you, behave yourselves.
00:46:01Anyone who tries to be sneaky or lazy will be punished according to palace rules.
00:46:05Yes, ma'am.
00:46:06Yes, ma'am.
00:46:11Your bullying of your colleague has not been settled yet.
00:46:14You are to clean toilet bowl as punishment.
00:46:16You may eat only when you finish.
00:46:18Yes, ma'am.
00:46:40Oh, isn't this much better?
00:46:48Your Majesty, Miss Caldwell has come to the palace again today.
00:46:54Do you wish to see her?
00:46:55No.
00:46:55Tell her to go back where she came from.
00:46:58This...
00:46:59You.
00:47:00Go back.
00:47:01I'm going to see Avalyn.
00:47:02If you follow me, you'll expose my identity.
00:47:05Out of the way.
00:47:09Avalyn.
00:47:10Avalyn.
00:47:14Lucas.
00:47:16Why are you here?
00:47:18How can Madam Langston let you do this kind of work?
00:47:22I'll go speak with her.
00:47:24I'll go speak with her.
00:47:26Lucas.
00:47:28It's just cleaning a toilet bowl is not a big deal.
00:47:32Avalyn.
00:47:36I...
00:47:36I'm sorry you had to endure this.
00:47:46I promise I'll find a way to get you out of here as soon as possible.
00:47:50By the way, the jade pendant of yours...
00:47:53What's the story behind it?
00:47:54Why is it that they keep saying that the pendant belongs to his majesty?
00:47:58Uh, my father...
00:48:01My father once won first place in the imperial exam.
00:48:03To encourage outstanding scholars, his majesty rewarded him with the jade pendant.
00:48:07This is how it came into our hands.
00:48:09Oh, I see.
00:48:10All they say is his majesty, his majesty.
00:48:12I thought maybe you were lying to me.
00:48:14Who'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 tomorrow again.
00:48:35Madam.
00:48:35Madam.
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.
00:48:48Finally done with everything.
00:49:02Why are you throwing my things?
00:49:04Madam Williams gave orders herself.
00:49:06She said at first light tomorrow, you are to deliver her medicine.
00:49:08Ma'am said the medicine must be boiled with morning dew.
00:49:11Tonight, you should wait outside.
00:49:13Morning dew.
00:49:16Morning dew.
00:49:18Everyone heard it.
00:49:19I'm not making it up.
00:49:20Why is Madam Williams always picking on me?
00:49:23Madam Williams already showed me mercy by.
00:49:25Not punishing for the theft last time.
00:49:27All she asked was for you to collect the morning dew.
00:49:29You should be grateful.
00:49:30The pendant wasn't stolen at all.
00:49:31Stop falsely accusing me.
00:49:32Not stolen?
00:49:33Are you saying his majesty gave it to you himself?
00:49:35The night air is damned with dew.
00:49:47I'm going inside to get my own blanket.
00:49:48Is that not allowed?
00:49:49What arrogance?
00:49:51This is the Imperial Palace.
00:49:52There's no such thing as yours or mine.
00:49:54Don't think that just because Madam 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.
00:50:17Why 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.
00:50:52My 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...
00:51:02Hasn't Master Langley been by his majesty's side?
00:51:05Master Langley.
00:51:07What is going on here?
00:51:09Oh.
00:51:10This young guy in here.
00:51:12He bests a striking 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...
00:51:45Fraternizing 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.
00:51:56Tell 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!
00:52:24My face!
00:52:25Ah, my face!
00:52:27Ah, my face!
00:52:28Ah!
00:52:28You foolish servant!
00:52:30What have you put in this bowl?
00:52:32I...
00:52:33I obtained a recipe from a tallist who claimed they could enhance one's beauty when consumed.
00:52:37I 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!
00:52:54Guards!
00:52:54Drag her away and sell her to a slave trader!
00:52:57Madam 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!
00:53:07May I be permitted to try?
00:53:11You?
00:53:14You?
00:53:14I have studied medical texts, and I can prepare herbal remedy that might alleviate the rash on your face.
00:53:25If...
00:53:25If my methods prove effective, I beg you, Madam, to spare Isabella's life.
00:53:37I can't get into it.
00:53:42His Majesty has not paid me attention for a long time.
00:53:46Yet I hear he has recently been visiting Imperial Household Bureau.
00:53:49Tell me who could be in the Imperial Household Bureau to capture His Majesty's interest so deeply.
00:53:55I don't know. I know nothing.
00:53:58Speak!
00:54:02I remember now.
00:54:03There is indeed someone who dares to do such a thing.
00:54:05Oh?
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.
00:54:27Thank you for your praise, madam.
00:54:29Adam, you need to only wait six more hours, and the rash will completely disappear.
00:54:46Eh?
00:54:52What are you trying to do now?
00:55:01If 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?
00:55:25You'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.
00:55:42Your majesty.
00:55:43I 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 at her chestnut cake.
00:56:02It was her.
00:56:11It 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.
00:56:23But 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.
00:57:03We 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 me.
00:57:23Stop!
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!
00:58:03Do you even know who stands before you?
00:58:07Aren't you just a lowborn servant?
00:58:11If I didn't teach you a lesson, you'll never learn your place.
00:58:14Restrainer as well.
00:58:16Eleanor, you wouldn't dare.
00:58:18I never expected you to be so venomous at heart.
00:58:26Her majesty truly misjudged you.
00:58:29You didn't call yourself her majesty?
00:58:31Who are you taking yourself for?
00:58:32The Empress Dowager?
00:58:32A disfigured old wretch like you.
00:58:40There is to use the title of the Empress Dowager.
00:58:42It seems you've grown tired of living.
00:58:44It seems you still refuse to admit your wrongdoing.
00:58:46What wrong have I done?
00:58:48You, born into lowly status, can only be servants of the palace.
00:58:51To defy your superiors is to seek death.
00:58:54You, Lady Catwell, 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.
00:59:01I beg you to show mercy.
00:59:03As the head of the Imperial House of Heroes, you have allowed your mage to seduce His Majesty.
00:59:07Such behavior is a dangerous example.
00:59:09This is unforgivable.
00:59:11Fetch my way.
00:59:17The Spring Blossom Banquet will be held at the beginning of next month.
00:59:20This year, all the nobles and dignitaries will be in attendance.
00:59:23Everything must be prepared perfectly.
00:59:25Your Majesty, rest assured, I will spare no effort in ensuring its success.
00:59:29You insolent servant, how dare you disturb His Majesty?
00:59:35His Majesty?
00:59:37This humble maid greets Your Majesty and beg Your Majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling.
00:59:41What did you say?
00:59:42Evelyn's in danger.
00:59:48His Majesty?
00:59:50This humble maid greets Your Majesty and beg Your Majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling.
00:59:54What did you say?
00:59:56Evelyn's in danger.
01:00:08What are you doing?
01:00:10It was me who offended Lady Cowan.
01:00:12I did not wish for him who suffered punishment on my account.
01:00:15Since 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?
01:00:28You reckless wretch!
01:00:29Today, I shall teach you the rules on behalf of the Empress Tower!
01:00:32Anna Caldwell!
01:00:35Do you know who you are about to whip?
01:00:38Your Majesty...
01:00:39I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:44I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:45I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:45The Empress Dowager?
01:00:48How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:55How 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.
01:01:17I beg the Emperor for mercy.
01:01:19The Emperor?
01:01:24This humble official believes this matters are of great importance.
01:01:27It concerns the dignity of the Empress Dowager.
01:01:28I implore your Majesty to carefully consider the matter.
01:01:31How could you dare to offend the Empress Dowager?
01:01:42Admit your fault at once!
01:01:43The temple subject admits my fault.
01:01:46Your Majesty, it was this wretched man.
01:01:48She told me to seduce His Majesty.
01:01:52This is why I lost my composure.
01:01:54Lady Caldwell, it was clear to you!
01:01:56Simon, 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!
01:02:13I did not spread rumors!
01:02:14I saw Evelyn flirting with the guards!
01:02:16I truly did not spread rumors!
01:02:18Your Majesty!
01:02:19I beg your Majesty!
01:02:20You are the eldest daughter of the sturdy 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!
01:02:39I do not want to get 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 daughter 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.
01:03:24The Ministry of Rights is preparing for the Spring Blossom Banquet next month.
01:03:28They may not have enough resources to manage both.
01:03:31Moreover, this matter is too sudden.
01:03:34I'm concerned the other Ministers may object.
01:03:38Mother, why not let Evelyn organize the Spring Blossom Banquet?
01:03:41If she can manage this banquet, it will not only prove her capability, but also make her coronation more acceptable to everyone.
01:03:47Her Majesty wants you to take charge of the Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:03:51Me?
01:03:52I don't know how to organize it.
01:03:58Don't worry.
01:03:59Trust your abilities.
01:04:00You shall triumph.
01:04:01I'll also assist you behind the scenes.
01:04:02All right.
01:04:14Get moving, all of you.
01:04:16If anyone dares to slack off, my whip shows no mercy.
01:04:25Useless fool!
01:04:27Do you still think you're a pampered young lady?
01:04:29Huh?
01:04:29Once you're in the office off-discipline, no one gets to laze around.
01:04:37Evelyn Sterling, this is all your fault!
01:04:43Get it!
01:04:44Don't touch me!
01:04:45I'm the daughter of Chancellor Caldwell!
01:04:47You better show some respect!
01:04:54The daughter of Chancellor Caldwell?
01:04:56In my past life, Adrian Montauk was promoted by the Empress Elwiger during the Spring Blossom Banquet!
01:05:01If I can escape this wretched place, and find a way to bring Adrian to the Spring Blossom Banquet, I can surely turn things around.
01:05:14What a wretched place!
01:05:16They expect me, a lady, to wash my clothes myself?
01:05:18Where did this lowly maid come from?
01:05:23I...
01:05:24Lady, I have an urgent request.
01:05:29When?
01:05:29Why should I help you?
01:05:31I am a noble bird.
01:05:33Were it not for this temporary misfortune, you wouldn't even be worthy to speak to me.
01:05:38My 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.
01:06:06Many thanks for your majesty's praise.
01:06:07Your majesty!
01:06:08Terrible news!
01:06:10The Office of Disappletal is on fire!
01:06:11What?
01:06:12Sir, what is the situation inside?
01:06:21The fire has engulfed the entire rear courtyard.
01:06:23Nearly half the people couldn't make it out.
01:06:26Anna Caldwell.
01:06:33Your 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 Disappletal 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 Disappletal would serve no purpose.
01:06:58Next month, you shall be the one to marry into Lior Empire.
01:07:02What?
01:07:03I married a lie?
01:07:05What?
01:07:06Are you unwilling?
01:07:06Or would you prefer to continue staying in the Office of Disappletal?
01:07:11Oh, no.
01:07:14This humble subject humbly obeys your majesty's decree.
01:07:18I shall depart for the marriage alliance next month.
01:07:22However, 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 Disappletal.
01:07:35I pay your respects to your majesty.
01:07:40I remember.
01:07:42Josephine is your sister.
01:07:45Tell me,
01:07:47how should I reward her?
01:07:52Empress Dowager,
01:07:53we were never close since childhood.
01:07:56Our bond is not strong.
01:07:57I don't get a say in this.
01:07:59Since you have agreed to the marriage alliance,
01:08:03then so be it.
01:08:04Let's go back.
01:08:07Thank you for your grace.
01:08:18Evelyn Sterling,
01:08:20I thought you had sworn high already.
01:08:24Turns out,
01:08:25you're still that low.
01:08:27You've ruined our parents and montags.
01:08:29And also got me thrown into the Office of Disappletal.
01:08:32About that,
01:08:34I will make sure you pay it.
01:08:46Edmund,
01:08:47let me out, please.
01:08:49This is driving me crazy.
01:08:55You don't get to complain.
01:08:57If it weren't for you and Josephine,
01:08:59two fools,
01:09:00I wouldn't have offended his majesty
01:09:02and lost my position.
01:09:04It's all Josephine's fault.
01:09:08Husband!
01:09:09Why are you back?
01:09:13The Empress Dowager pardoned me.
01:09:15I'm released from Office of Disappletal.
01:09:16I'm released from Office of Disappletal.
01:09:17After everything you put us through,
01:09:19you still have the guts to come back?
01:09:22Edmund,
01:09:23it's all because Evelyn.
01:09:25Instead of blaming each other here,
01:09:27you should think how to get back at her.
01:09:30Get back at her?
01:09:32She's like royalty now.
01:09:34How to get back at her, huh?
01:09:35I saw her once
01:09:37at the Office of Disappletal.
01:09:39She was wearing
01:09:40a lonely palace-based uniform.
01:09:43I don't think she's royal.
01:09:45A palace maid?
01:09:47Could it be that
01:09:48His Majesty married her on a whim?
01:09:50Totally.
01:09:51If His Majesty really liked her,
01:09:53why would she be wearing that uniform?
01:09:55Spring Blossom Banquet is coming.
01:09:58All the nobles
01:09:59will be present then.
01:10:01It's the perfect opportunity.
01:10:03Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:10:05We're invited too.
01:10:07So I can go then?
01:10:11What are you scheming this time?
01:10:15Don't worry.
01:10:17At the banquet,
01:10:18I'll impress everyone.
01:10:20As long as I win
01:10:20the Empress Dowager's favor,
01:10:22our family will rise again.
01:10:33It's going to be
01:10:46all nobles and high officials.
01:10:48Check everything thoroughly.
01:10:50We cannot afford any mistakes.
01:10:54Oh, stop worrying.
01:10:56We've confirmed
01:10:56every detail multiple times already.
01:10:58There won't be any problems.
01:11:00Let's hope so.
01:11:03Avalyn.
01:11:13Avalyn.
01:11:14If you like these pastries,
01:11:15I can get you more.
01:11:21Glad this is a remote area
01:11:23with no patrols.
01:11:25Otherwise,
01:11:26I can't meet like this.
01:11:27Avalyn.
01:11:38Once the banquet ends,
01:11:40wait for me here.
01:11:41I got something to tell you.
01:11:43All right.
01:11:44I'll wait for you here.
01:11:53Husband!
01:11:54Look over there!
01:11:54Look over there!
01:11:57Avalyn!
01:12:00And a palace guard!
01:12:05Oh, right!
01:12:06You're on duty today.
01:12:08Let's hurry back.
01:12:11Remember,
01:12:12wait for me here.
01:12:13Okay.
01:12:14Take these.
01:12:15You're on duty today.
01:12:16You're on duty today.
01:12:17You're on duty today.
01:12:18You're on duty today.
01:12:19You're on duty today.
01:12:19You're on duty today.
01:12:20You're on duty today.
01:12:20Hey, you really can't go
01:12:21a moment without a man.
01:12:23Just got tossed aside
01:12:25by His Majesty,
01:12:26and now,
01:12:27you're ready with the guard.
01:12:28This is the Imperial Palace.
01:12:40Not your place,
01:12:41all right?
01:12:41Everything you do here
01:12:42is washed by His Majesty
01:12:44in the Empress Gouger.
01:12:45They were just released.
01:12:46Have you learned your lesson?
01:12:48My husband and I
01:12:49were invited here
01:12:51as honored guests
01:12:52for the banquet.
01:12:53You're nothing but a maid.
01:12:54If you serve us well,
01:12:57I may reward you.
01:12:59If not,
01:13:00you'll get kicked out.
01:13:02You were lucky
01:13:03to have gone away last time.
01:13:06No one can protect you
01:13:08this time.
01:13:10What do you mean?
01:13:12I want to destroy you
01:13:14from head to toe.
01:13:17Greetings, Empress Dowager.
01:13:24Greetings, Empress Dowager.
01:13:30Evelyn.
01:13:32Preparing the banquet
01:13:33must be exhausting.
01:13:34Once it is over,
01:13:35I will reward you properly.
01:13:38It's just my duty.
01:13:39Thanks for your grace.
01:13:42Your Highness,
01:13:43I have something to say.
01:13:44Speak.
01:13:46I wish to report
01:13:47Evelyn's improper relationship
01:13:49with the guard.
01:13:52Oh?
01:13:52I saw it with my own eyes.
01:13:55Evelyn and a guard
01:13:56were extremely intimate.
01:13:58When caught,
01:13:59they tried to cover it up.
01:14:00If they're this bold
01:14:01in broad daylight,
01:14:02who knows what they do
01:14:03in secret?
01:14:05Your Highness,
01:14:06I did have a contact
01:14:08with the guard.
01:14:09But before entering the palace,
01:14:10we already had
01:14:11developed feelings.
01:14:12In the palace,
01:14:13we only met occasionally.
01:14:15There was nothing improper.
01:14:16If you weren't guilty,
01:14:18why did you hurry away
01:14:20in that moment you saw us?
01:14:21This should be punishable
01:14:22by death.
01:14:25Your Highness,
01:14:27I insist on seeing him.
01:14:28If this matter
01:14:29deserves punishment,
01:14:31please spare the guard's life.
01:14:33Since neither of you
01:14:35are innocent,
01:14:36Your Highness,
01:14:37please summon the guard
01:14:39and execute them.
01:14:40Yes, Your Highness,
01:14:41punish them both
01:14:42to uphold palace discipline.
01:14:45You two want me
01:14:46to execute the guard?
01:14:47You two want me
01:14:52to execute the guard?
01:14:56In the palace,
01:14:57it is indeed forbidden
01:14:58for palace maids
01:14:59and guards to mingle.
01:15:01But Evelyn,
01:15:02for organizing the banquet,
01:15:03put in great effort.
01:15:05She's redeemed herself.
01:15:06I have decided
01:15:07to spare her
01:15:08from punishment.
01:15:09Bye!
01:15:09Evelyn,
01:15:10lead me to the banquet site.
01:15:12Yes.
01:15:13Yes.
01:15:13Yes.
01:15:13Yes.
01:15:13Yes.
01:15:13Yes.
01:15:13Yes.
01:15:17Farewell,
01:15:26Your Highness.
01:15:28She escaped again.
01:15:30Why is she
01:15:31always so lucky?
01:15:32First the Emperor
01:15:33protected her
01:15:34and now the Empress
01:15:35dowager.
01:15:35Even she was entrusted
01:15:36with the whole banquet?
01:15:38Since she's in charge
01:15:39of the banquet,
01:15:40we can just...
01:15:43Your Majesty,
01:15:49the 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
01:15:56the truth before the banquet.
01:15:58Go tell Evelyn
01:15:59to meet me
01:16:00where we were before.
01:16:01What?
01:16:04Eunuch Langley.
01:16:06Come here.
01:16:06Come here.
01:16:07Come here.
01:16:08Come here.
01:16:09Come here.
01:16:09Come here.
01:16:13What's going on?
01:16:16You've done a great job
01:16:17this time.
01:16:18They're talking about
01:16:19how good the banquet is.
01:16:20Even an Empress dowager
01:16:21looks pleased.
01:16:22That's great.
01:16:24Someone is waiting
01:16:25for you in that courtyard.
01:16:26Go.
01:16:27How is it?
01:16:31Assassins,
01:16:31protect the Empress dowager!
01:16:36What's going on inside?
01:16:37An assassin disguised
01:16:38in Sedan, sir.
01:16:39Lord Montague
01:16:39took the blow
01:16:40for Her Majesty
01:16:41and the assassin escaped.
01:16:42What?
01:16:43Take her away.
01:16:46What are you doing?
01:16:47There is an assassin.
01:16:49We are arresting Evelyn
01:16:50to the judicial court.
01:16:51What?
01:16:51Me?
01:16:59My lord,
01:17:00he's the suspect.
01:17:01Maid Evelyn Sterling,
01:17:03he's the Prime Minister.
01:17:04So,
01:17:05she's the one
01:17:05who harmed Anna.
01:17:07Chancellor Cogwell,
01:17:09she was in charge
01:17:09of the palace banquet.
01:17:11How dare you?
01:17:12How dare you plan
01:17:13assassination
01:17:14against the Empress dowager?
01:17:16Are you rebelling?
01:17:18I'm not.
01:17:19I personally verify
01:17:20the identity of everyone.
01:17:22I have no idea
01:17:23where the assassin came from.
01:17:24Of course you don't.
01:17:25Right before the banquet,
01:17:26you were secretly
01:17:27meeting with the guard.
01:17:28You were so affectionate
01:17:29that you just ignore
01:17:30everything around you.
01:17:31What?
01:17:33Is this true?
01:17:34Chancellor,
01:17:35I can testify.
01:17:36That very guard
01:17:37is still at the Ministry of Rights.
01:17:38Someone.
01:17:39Bring that guard here.
01:17:40I will get to the bottom
01:17:41of this.
01:17:44Why hasn't Evelyn come yet?
01:17:46Sir,
01:18:02here's the guard.
01:18:04Are you alright?
01:18:05Lucas?
01:18:08Evelyn Sterling,
01:18:09how do you plead?
01:18:10Please investigate Sterling,
01:18:12since you're as an assassin.
01:18:13It's my fault indeed.
01:18:14I only beg you
01:18:15not 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
01:18:21colluded with the assassin,
01:18:22if not for my husband's
01:18:24great reaction.
01:18:25You should have been
01:18:26executed by now.
01:18:28Chancellor Catwalk,
01:18:29I really don't know
01:18:30about the assassin.
01:18:31I beg you
01:18:31to grant me some time.
01:18:33I will uncover
01:18:33the truth behind this matter.
01:18:35Enough.
01:18:36Bade Evelyn Sterling
01:18:37colluded with the guard,
01:18:39disrupted palace order,
01:18:40and put the Empress Dowager
01:18:41in danger.
01:18:42Both of them
01:18:43are to be executed.
01:18:44in it immediately.
01:18:52No.
01:18:53Chesler,
01:18:54we broke over water.
01:18:55Chesler,
01:18:55I'm begging you.
01:18:57Chesler!
01:18:57Chesler,
01:18:58don't!
01:18:59Chesler,
01:19:00please.
01:19:01Chesler!
01:19:03Lucas,
01:19:04I'm sorry.
01:19:05It's not my fault.
01:19:06I'm so sorry.
01:19:07I'm so sorry.
01:19:09Stop now.
01:19:26Don't you dare
01:19:27touch her.
01:19:29Your majesty.
01:19:30Long live your majesty.
01:19:33Long live your majesty.
01:19:41How dare you
01:19:42condemning the innocent
01:19:44without discerning
01:19:45right from wrong.
01:19:47This is totally outrageous.
01:19:55You keep going against Evelyn
01:19:57at every turn.
01:19:58Today,
01:19:58if I weren't here,
01:20:00you would have gotten your way.
01:20:02Your majesty,
01:20:02I didn't meant to hurt my sister.
01:20:05Your majesty,
01:20:06Evelyn was in charge
01:20:07of the banquet,
01:20:07but she allowed assassins
01:20:09in to hurt
01:20:09the Empress Dowager.
01:20:10I beg you.
01:20:11Your majesty issued
01:20:12an order at once
01:20:13to imprison her
01:20:13for further interrogation.
01:20:15Chesler,
01:20:15Gull was right.
01:20:16If it weren't for
01:20:16my husband's presence today,
01:20:18the Empress Dowager
01:20:19might not have survived.
01:20:20Your majesty,
01:20:20my life is of no consequence,
01:20:22but Evelyn must be punished.
01:20:26Your majesty,
01:20:27my life is of no consequence,
01:20:29but Evelyn must be punished.
01:20:31If this happens again,
01:20:33who will protect the palace?
01:20:37Please.
01:20:38You must punish Evelyn.
01:20:39Adrian Montague.
01:20:41Are you making decisions for me?
01:20:43The Empress Dowager
01:20:44has been traumatized today.
01:20:45If your majesty
01:20:46does not punish Evelyn,
01:20:47what if others follow her example?
01:20:49The consequences
01:20:50will be unimaginable.
01:20:51I request your majesty
01:20:52to punish Evelyn.
01:20:53I beg your majesty
01:20:54to punish Evelyn.
01:21:01Is that so?
01:21:03If I have evidence
01:21:04that Evelyn's innocent,
01:21:05what should you be punished for?
01:21:09if you're wrong about me?
01:21:12What if you're wrong about her?
01:21:12What if?
01:21:13What if possible?
01:21:15Nicholas?
01:21:16I'm asking you!
