00:00:00Lady Evelyn Sterling from the Montagues, a woman of virtue, diligent and gentle, hereby
00:00:05bestow the title of first-ranked Lady of Honor by Imperial Decree.
00:00:10We humbly thank His Majesty for His grace.
00:00:21Murder!

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

00:31:41alive?
00:31:41I'd like to
00:31:42see if the
00:31:43judicial court
00:31:44would tolerate
00:31:46this.

00:32:17The imperial
00:32:18secret guards,
00:32:19why are they
00:32:19here?
00:32:20Yes, I
00:32:22summoned them.
00:32:23That voice,
00:32:24could it be
00:32:25your majesty?
00:32:28Your majesty?
00:32:31The emperor?
00:32:34How could
00:32:35this filthy beggar...
00:32:36Brother,
00:32:37don't let this
00:32:38filthy beggar fool
00:32:38you!
00:32:39These clothes
00:32:39he's wearing
00:32:40are all stolen
00:32:40from the imperial
00:32:41palace.
00:32:41All these people
00:32:42were bribed by him
00:32:42with a huge
00:32:43sum of money.
00:32:44That's right!
00:32:45You're new to
00:32:46this office.
00:32:46It's normal to
00:32:47get the wrong
00:32:47person, but he
00:32:48really is a
00:32:48filthy beggar.
00:32:49He can't
00:32:49possibly be the
00:32:50emperor!
00:32:51That's true.
00:32:52The emperor
00:32:52couldn't possibly
00:32:53be here.
00:32:54Wretched girl,
00:32:55look at the
00:32:56fine husband
00:32:56you've chosen!
00:32:58You've offended
00:32:58Lord Montague!

00:33:00you plan to end
00:33:01this!
00:33:01My lord,
00:33:03you must uphold
00:33:04justice for us!
00:33:05This filthy beggar
00:33:06and Evelyn Sterling,
00:33:07they defied
00:33:08human ethics,
00:33:09even intended
00:33:09to murder us!
00:33:11Outrageous!
00:33:12At the foot
00:33:13of the imperial
00:33:13city!
00:33:14How can you
00:33:14act so brazenly?
00:33:15Guards,
00:33:16take them to the
00:33:16dungeon of the
00:33:17judicial court!
00:33:18Interrogate them
00:33:18with torture!
00:33:19Wait!
00:33:21What else
00:33:21do you have
00:33:22to say?
00:33:23Since when
00:33:24was this position
00:33:25of Lord Justice
00:33:25deputy?
00:33:26Yours to assume!
00:33:27You filthy
00:33:28beggar!
00:33:28How could you
00:33:29possibly know
00:33:30about court
00:33:30appointments?
00:33:31My brother
00:33:31was appointed
00:33:32by the
00:33:32Empress Dowager
00:33:33herself!
00:33:34What now?
00:33:34Regret finally
00:33:35sinking in?
00:33:36Even the
00:33:37Empress Dowager
00:33:37was deceived!
00:33:39Your Montague
00:33:40family truly
00:33:41is impressive!
00:33:45Empress Dowager,
00:33:46please speak up
00:33:47for your subject.
00:33:48His majesty
00:33:49outside the palace
00:33:50married the
00:33:50eldest daughter
00:33:50of the
00:33:51Sterling family
00:33:51because that
00:33:52woman his
00:33:52majesty even
00:33:53lashed out!
00:33:53You said his
00:33:54majesty married
00:33:54another woman
00:33:55outside the
00:33:55palace?
00:33:57Guards!
00:33:57Prepare to
00:33:58sedant!
00:34:01Insolent!
00:34:02How dare you
00:34:03offend the
00:34:03Emperor
00:34:03Dowager?
00:34:04Are you trying
00:34:04to get yourself
00:34:05killed?
00:34:05Lord Montague,
00:34:06please see
00:34:07clearly.
00:34:08Our Sterling
00:34:08family has
00:34:09long severed
00:34:10ties with
00:34:10Evelyn Sterling.
00:34:11Every word
00:34:12she says has
00:34:12nothing to do
00:34:13with us!
00:34:14That's right,
00:34:14my lord.
00:34:15Our Sterling
00:34:15family has
00:34:16always followed
00:34:16the rules.
00:34:17We would
00:34:17never dare
00:34:18speak against
00:34:18the royal
00:34:19family.
00:34:19Please see
00:34:20the truth,
00:34:20my lord.
00:34:21President and
00:34:21the royal

00:34:22of crime.
00:34:23You must
00:34:23not let
00:34:23them go,
00:34:24my lord.
00:34:24Evelyn Sterling,
00:34:25your dear
00:34:25husband has
00:34:26now committed
00:34:26a heinous
00:34:27crime.
00:34:28No matter
00:34:29who comes
00:34:29today,
00:34:30they cannot
00:34:30save you.
00:34:32I can't.
00:34:33I can't.
00:34:33Lucas break up
00:34:34behind Sparrus,
00:34:35my lord.
00:34:36He didn't mean
00:34:36to offend...
00:34:38Evelyn!
00:34:44Evelyn,
00:34:45let's go.
00:34:45How dare you?
00:34:47Trying to run?
00:34:48Guards,
00:34:48stop them!
00:34:49Whoever dares to
00:34:50block us again,
00:34:51kill without mercy!
00:34:52Yes, sir!
00:34:56Trying to escape?
00:34:58It's not that easy!
00:35:04Lucas!
00:35:09Lucas!
00:35:10Lucas!
00:35:10Josephine Sterling,
00:35:13why is your heart
00:35:13so vicious?
00:35:15Lucas has no
00:35:15grievance with you,
00:35:16yet you harms him
00:35:17so cruelly.
00:35:18This filthy beggar
00:35:19actually tried to
00:35:19have some disfigure me?
00:35:21Of course I couldn't
00:35:22let you leave!
00:35:23Lucas!
00:35:27Stop looking!
00:35:28Your man won't be
00:35:29here to save you
00:35:30this time!
00:35:30You've got a
00:35:31death wish!
00:35:32Lucas!
00:35:34Well, you still
00:35:34can't hurry
00:35:35and go!
00:35:35I can't!
00:35:36Go?
00:35:37You still think
00:35:38he can go?
00:35:38Josephine Sterling,
00:35:42why won't you
00:35:43just let me go?
00:35:46I have to admit,
00:35:48sister,
00:35:49you're truly fortunate
00:35:50of marrying a beggar
00:35:51you still found
00:35:51true love.
00:35:53What a pity!
00:35:54The more you're
00:35:54like this,
00:35:55the more impossible
00:35:56it is for me
00:35:56to let you
00:35:57have your way!
00:35:58You!
00:35:59Josephine,
00:36:00the grudge
00:36:01between us
00:36:01should not
00:36:02involve others.
00:36:03You can do
00:36:04whatever you want
00:36:04to me.
00:36:05I beg you,
00:36:06let Lucas go,
00:36:08please!
00:36:08Avalyn,
00:36:09you don't need
00:36:10to waste
00:36:10your breath
00:36:10on her.
00:36:11I can't drag
00:36:11you into this.
00:36:12How touching,
00:36:14even at a time
00:36:15like this.
00:36:16You still have
00:36:17time to flirt
00:36:18with this filthy
00:36:18beggar?
00:36:19Since you're
00:36:20feeling wrong
00:36:20so deep,
00:36:22I might as well
00:36:22send you both
00:36:23to death
00:36:25together.
00:36:26What are you
00:36:26waiting for?
00:36:28Die!
00:36:29Avalyn,
00:36:29watch out!
00:36:32The Empress
00:36:33Dowager has

00:36:34I'd like to
00:36:35see who dares
00:36:36harm my
00:36:36royal son.

00:36:41Emperor?
00:36:44He,
00:36:45he really
00:36:46is the
00:36:46Emperor?

00:36:54immediately
00:36:54to send her
00:36:55back for treatment.

00:37:01All members of
00:37:05the Starling
00:37:05family have been

00:37:08Your,
00:37:09Your Majesty?
00:37:11What?
00:37:12You called him?
00:37:13Your Majesty?
00:37:14Wasn't he a beggar?
00:37:15Pass down my
00:37:16decree.
00:37:17Sebastian
00:37:17Serding and
00:37:17his family
00:37:18are executed
00:37:19on the spot!
00:37:20Master!
00:37:23Madam,
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:24Admin Montague,
00:37:26as an official
00:37:27of the court,
00:37:27you abused
00:37:28your power
00:37:28and aided evil
00:37:29from this day
00:37:30forth.
00:37:30You are stripped
00:37:31of your duty,
00:37:32imprisoned,
00:37:33along the Montague
00:37:33in the judicial
00:37:34court.
00:37:34Spare me,
00:37:35Your Majesty.
00:37:35Spare me.
00:37:36Please spare me,
00:37:37Your Majesty!
00:37:38Thank You,
00:37:39Your Majesty,
00:37:39to revoke the
00:37:40order!
00:37:41It was my
00:37:42fault!
00:37:44I failed
00:37:45to see the
00:37:45truth,
00:37:46Your Majesty!
00:37:47When you
00:37:48humiliated
00:37:48Evelyn back then,
00:37:49did you ever
00:37:50think this day
00:37:51would come?
00:37:53Impossible!
00:37:54Given a second
00:37:55chance to life,
00:37:56how can I
00:37:56still make
00:37:57the wrong
00:37:57choice?
00:37:58Empress Dowager,
00:37:59I did commit
00:37:59a grave offense,
00:38:00but it was all
00:38:01under the orders
00:38:01of the Sterling
00:38:02family.
00:38:02Empress Dowager,
00:38:03please,
00:38:03for the sake
00:38:04of my father's
00:38:05honor,
00:38:05spare me once!
00:38:07I beg Your
00:38:07Majesty and
00:38:08Empress Dowager
00:38:08for mercy!
00:38:09Please have
00:38:10mercy,
00:38:10Empress Dowager!
00:38:11Have mercy,
00:38:12Empress Dowager!
00:38:13My son,
00:38:14although the
00:38:15two unfilial
00:38:15sons of the
00:38:16Montague family
00:38:17are foolish,
00:38:18they were not
00:38:18the masterminds.
00:38:19They should be
00:38:19punished lighter.
00:38:20The Sterling
00:38:21family is a
00:38:21household of
00:38:22commoners.
00:38:23To execute
00:38:23them all
00:38:24is indeed
00:38:25lacking
00:38:25consideration
00:38:26for the
00:38:26women.
00:38:27I saw
00:38:27that woman
00:38:28was badly
00:38:28injured,
00:38:29my son.
00:38:30You should
00:38:30go tend
00:38:31to her
00:38:31quickly.
00:38:31Lucas, are
00:38:50you all right?
00:38:51Are you
00:38:51all right?
00:38:52Did you get
00:38:52hurt?
00:38:53I'm fine.
00:38:54Lie down
00:38:54quickly.
00:38:54The Imperious
00:38:55Physician said
00:38:55you have to
00:38:56lie down.
00:38:57Come on!
00:38:57Imperious Physician.
00:39:01What is going
00:39:02on?
00:39:03Why are we
00:39:04in the palace?
00:39:05What exactly
00:39:05happened?
00:39:08It was the
00:39:08Empress Dowager
00:39:09who saved us.
00:39:10The Empress
00:39:11Dowager?
00:39:13You want to make
00:39:14Evelyn Sterling
00:39:15your Empress?
00:39:16I absolutely
00:39:16do not approve.
00:39:18I pledge
00:39:19myself to
00:39:19Evelyn for
00:39:20life in private.
00:39:22Whether you approve
00:39:22or not,
00:39:23I will overcome
00:39:23all obstacles
00:39:24to make
00:39:25Evelyn my
00:39:25Empress.
00:39:26You!
00:39:29If you truly
00:39:30wish to make
00:39:30her Empress,
00:39:31she must
00:39:32pass my
00:39:33test.
00:39:34But,
00:39:35but,
00:39:37before that,
00:39:39you must not
00:39:39let her know
00:39:40your identity.
00:39:42Otherwise,
00:39:43I have
00:39:44plenty of
00:39:45ways to
00:39:45stop you.
00:39:48She left
00:39:49the palace
00:39:49to pray.
00:39:50Just happened
00:39:50to walk by
00:39:51the Sterling
00:39:51State.
00:39:52That's how
00:39:52she saved
00:39:53us.
00:39:55Then,
00:39:57what about
00:39:58my father
00:39:59and the
00:39:59others?
00:40:00The Empress
00:40:00Dowager gave
00:40:01the order
00:40:01to have
00:40:01them all
00:40:02beaten
00:40:0250 strikes
00:40:02each.
00:40:03Adrian
00:40:03Montague
00:40:04frequented
00:40:04the pleasure
00:40:05districts.
00:40:05His body
00:40:06couldn't
00:40:06take it
00:40:06and he
00:40:07fainted.
00:40:07The Empress
00:40:08Dowager
00:40:08ordered him
00:40:08to be
00:40:09put in
00:40:09confinement
00:40:09and your
00:40:10sister was
00:40:11also sent
00:40:11to the
00:40:11Office of
00:40:12Discipline
00:40:12to do
00:40:12hard labor.
00:40:13And for
00:40:14your father
00:40:14and the
00:40:14others,
00:40:15they were
00:40:15exiled.
00:40:17Exiled?
00:40:19Evelyn,
00:40:20from now
00:40:21on,
00:40:22I will
00:40:23protect you.
00:40:25I asked the Empress
00:40:26Dowager for a
00:40:27position and
00:40:27assigned you to
00:40:28the Imperial
00:40:28Household Bureau.
00:40:30From now on,
00:40:30the two of us
00:40:31will be working
00:40:31in the palace.
00:40:35That's wonderful.
00:40:36When the time
00:40:37comes,
00:40:38we may work in the
00:40:39palace for three
00:40:39to five years.
00:40:40Then we can
00:40:41leave together
00:40:41and live
00:40:42a simple
00:40:43life.
00:40:43Okay.
00:40:50Evelyn,
00:40:51I hope
00:40:52you can
00:40:52forgive me.
00:40:58Evelyn,
00:40:59when I have
00:40:59some free time,
00:41:00I'll come
00:41:00to see you.
00:41:02Alright.
00:41:05Greets!
00:41:05Guests should
00:41:15notify us
00:41:15before touring
00:41:16the Imperial
00:41:17Household Bureau.
00:41:20This one here
00:41:21is the steward
00:41:21of the Bureau,
00:41:22Ma'am Langston.
00:41:23If you need
00:41:24anything,
00:41:24just go to her.
00:41:27Greetings,
00:41:27Ma'am Langston.
00:41:30This one here
00:41:30is a newly
00:41:31arrived maid,
00:41:32Evelyn Sterling.
00:41:33In the days
00:41:33to come,
00:41:34please take
00:41:34good care
00:41:35of her,
00:41:35Ma'am Langston.
00:41:37Rest assured,
00:41:38I will take
00:41:39good care
00:41:39of Miss Evelyn.
00:41:40I definitely
00:41:41won't let her
00:41:42do heavy work.
00:41:47Lucas,
00:41:49I came here
00:41:50to work,
00:41:51right?
00:41:51Why does it
00:41:52feel like
00:41:52I'm being
00:41:53treated like
00:41:54a mistress?
00:41:57She...
00:41:58Maybe she's
00:42:02a nice person.
00:42:04Miss Evelyn,
00:42:09please come
00:42:10with me.
00:42:12Go ahead.
00:42:13Go ahead.
00:42:27You,
00:42:28clean all of these
00:42:28thoroughly.
00:42:30You and I
00:42:31both work
00:42:31at the
00:42:31Imperial Household Bureau.
00:42:33The tasks
00:42:33are assigned
00:42:34in advance.
00:42:34Why should I
00:42:35be the one
00:42:35to do your work?
00:42:36You've got
00:42:36the nerves
00:42:37to ask?
00:42:37It's because
00:42:38of you
00:42:38that I
00:42:39ended up
00:42:39cleaning the
00:42:39toilet bowl.
00:42:40Some people
00:42:41must have
00:42:41used certain
00:42:41means to
00:42:42land a post
00:42:43here,
00:42:43and somehow
00:42:43even earned
00:42:44Ma'am Langston's
00:42:45favor.
00:42:45She got
00:42:45all the
00:42:46Yeez's work
00:42:46assigned to you.
00:42:53Hey!
00:42:54Hey!
00:42:54Hey!
00:42:54Hey!
00:42:54Hey!
00:42:54Hey!
00:42:55Hey!
00:42:55Hey!
00:42:56Hey!
00:42:56Hey!
00:42:56Hey!
00:42:57Hey!
00:42:57Hey!
00:42:58Hey!
00:42:58Hey!
00:42:59Hey!
00:43:00Hey!
00:43:00Hey!
00:43:02Give it back
00:43:03to me!
00:43:07The Dragon Jade
00:43:08pendant?
00:43:09There's something
00:43:09only His Majesty
00:43:10can wear.
00:43:11Hurry in
00:43:11and inform
00:43:11Madam Langston.
00:43:12Someone is
00:43:13stealing.
00:43:14Your Majesty!
00:43:15Give it back
00:43:15to me!
00:43:16Right now!
00:43:16What are you waiting for? Grab her!
00:43:33Everyone, stop right there!
00:43:41Your Grace.
00:43:43The Imperial Household Bureau is such a crude place.
00:43:45You have never come here before. It might harm your noble health.
00:43:49Allow me to announce your arrival.
00:43:51No need. This time, I am disguised as a Bureau Matron, because I want to truly know Evelyn Sterling.
00:43:57She must never learn of my identity.
00:44:08Palace rules are strict. I was only gone for a little while.
00:44:12And you dare behave so wildly. What 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 Eve. She feared being exposed and even tried to harm me.
00:44:26Ma'am, you must punish her properly.
00:44:29Ma'am, Linsden. Please let me explain. This isn't what happened.
00:44:33Enough.
00:44:33Hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:44:38The Pendant belongs to me.
00:44:43I said hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:44:46The Dragon Jade Pendant. It truly belongs to His Majesty.
00:45:03The Dragon Jade Pendant. It 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.
00:45:26This Pendant was given to me by someone very dear to me.
00:45:30It was definitely not stolen.
00:45:32I truly don't know how it could belong to His Majesty.
00:45:34We confirm the Pendant belongs to my son.
00:45:37Wouldn't that expose us to your identity?
00:45:39No.
00:45:40We can't rely on the object to prove there was theft involved.
00:45:43I'll thoroughly investigate this matter until the truth is found.
00:45:47The Pendant will remain with me.
00:45:48If you are truly innocent, I will make things right for you.
00:45:52Thank you, Ma'am.
00:45:54This is the new steward, Madam Williams.
00:45:56From now on, she will work with me to manage the Bureau.
00:45:59All of you, behave yourselves.
00:46:01Anyone who tries to be sneaky or lazy will be punished according to Palace rules.
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.
00:46:21Yes, Ma'am.
00:46:26Oh, isn't this much better?
00:46:41Your Majesty, Miss Caldwell has come to the palace again today.
00:46:54Do you wish to see her?
00:46:55No.
00:46:56Tell her to go back where she came from.
00:46:58This.
00:46:59You.
00:47:00Go back.
00:47:01I'm going to see Evelyn.
00:47:02If you follow me, you'll expose my identity.
00:47:05Out of the way.
00:47:05Evelyn.
00:47:10Evelyn.
00:47:14Lucas.
00:47:16Why are you here?
00:47:19How can Madam Langston let you do this kind of work?
00:47:22I'll go speak with her.
00:47:24I'll go speak with her.
00:47:26Lucas.
00:47:26Lucas.
00:47:26It's just cleaning your toilet bowl is not a big deal.
00:47:32Evelyn.
00:47:36I.
00:47:44I'm sorry you had to endure this.
00:47:46I promise I'll find a way to get you out of here as soon as possible.
00:47:50By the way, the jade pendant of yours, what's the story behind it?
00:47:54Why is it that they keep saying that the pendant belongs to His Majesty?
00:47:59Uh, my father.
00:48:01My father once won first place in the Imperial exam.
00:48:03To encourage outstanding scholars, His Majesty rewarded him with the jade pendant.
00:48:07This is how it came into our hands.
00:48:09Oh, I see.
00:48:10All they say is His Majesty, His Majesty.
00:48:12I thought maybe you were lying to me.
00:48:18Who's there?
00:48:22It's Madam Willems.
00:48:24Hurry up, go.
00:48:25Don't let her see you.
00:48:25Tomorrow.
00:48:26I'll come to see you tomorrow again.
00:48:35Madam's.
00:48:36All the toilet bowls have been cleaned.
00:48:38Cleaned already?
00:48:40Then go sweep the entire back courtyard.
00:48:46Yes, ma'am.
00:48:49Finally done with everything.
00:48:50I'm finally done with everything.
00:48:54Why are you throwing my things?
00:49:04Madam Williams gave orders herself.
00:49:05She said at first light tomorrow, you're to deliver her medicine.
00:49:08Ma'am said, the medicine must be boiled with morning dew.
00:49:12Tonight, you should wait outside.
00:49:13Morning too.
00:49:16Morning too.
00:49:16Everyone 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.
00:49:29The pendant wasn't stolen at all.
00:49:31Stop falsely accusing me.
00:49:33Not stolen?
00:49:33Are you saying His Majesty gave it to you himself?
00:49:35The night air is damped with dew.
00:49:47I'm going inside to get my own blanket.
00:49:48Is that not allowed?
00:49:50What arrogance.
00:49:51This is the Imperial Palace.
00:49:52There's no such thing as yours or mine.
00:49:54Don't think that just because of Mal and Lens
00:49:55or you can do whatever you want.
00:49:58Who said you could come in?
00:50:00Move aside.
00:50:00Avalyn.
00:50:11Avalyn.
00:50:12Are you all right?
00:50:14Who did this?
00:50:16Victor Langley, why is he here?
00:50:18Could it be that he is...
00:50:20You want to die?
00:50:23Your Majesty.
00:50:29You're the Emperor.
00:50:30You're His Majesty.
00:50:35Insolent servant.
00:50:39You must never let her discover your true identity.
00:50:52My deepest apologies, Your Majesty.
00:50:54I merely saw someone injured and acted out of concern.
00:50:56You must never let her know.
00:50:59Fortunately, 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?
00:51:09Oh.
00:51:10This young guy in here.
00:51:12He makes a striking resemblance to His Majesty.
00:51:14I specifically brought him to the palace to interrogate him.
00:51:16Uh-uh.
00:51:18Hey, you, the new one.
00:51:20How can you be so ignorant of the rules?
00:51:21Don't you notice you behave yourself here?
00:51:23I humbly apologize.
00:51:25I acknowledge my error.
00:51:27Madam Langston, I beg your pardon.
00:51:29It's entirely my fault for causing this young officer concern.
00:51:32If you understand your error, then leave at once.
00:51:34As for you...
00:51:47Fraternizing with the guards is a grave matter.
00:51:50Yet Madam Williams nearly punished her with kneeling.
00:51:53The last time she stole a jade pendant, that incident was also swept under the rug.
00:51:56Tell me, if His Majesty knew she had stolen his jade pendant, how do you think he would handle her?
00:52:13I shall inform His Majesty at once.
00:52:16It was you who stole his jade pendant.
00:52:18Let us see if he will still let you off so easily.
00:52:20Ah!
00:52:22Ah, my face!
00:52:24My face!
00:52:25Ah, my face!
00:52:26You foolish servant!
00:52:30What have you put in this bowl?
00:52:32I obtained a recipe from a tallist who claimed it could enhance one's beauty when consumed.
00:52:40I only wished to do what was best for Madam Williams, which is why I acted so foolishly.
00:52:45How dare you serve something of unknown origin to ma'am if this rash on her face does not fade?
00:52:51How will you atone for this?
00:52:53Madam!
00:52:54Guards!
00:52:54Drag her away and sell her to a slave trader!
00:52:57Oh, Madam Williams, have mercy!
00:52:59Madam, have mercy, please!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:02Madam, have mercy!
00:53:04Madam!
00:53:06Madam!
00:53:09May 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.
00:53:26If...
00:53:26If 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 visiting Imperial Household Bureau.
00:53:50Tell me who could be in the Imperial Household Bureau to capture his majesty's interest so deeply.
00:53:54I don't know!
00:53:56I don't know!
00:53:56I know nothing!
00:53:57Stay!
00:54:02I remember now!
00:54:03There is indeed someone who dares to do such a thing!
00:54:06Oh?
00:54:06It may not look appealing, but it is true that the rash has faded somewhat.
00:54:24It seems you do have some skill.
00:54:27Thank you for your praise, Madam.
00:54:29Adam, you need to only wait six more hours, and the rash will completely disappear.
00:54:34What are you trying to do now?
00:54:55If it weren't for you today, I might have already been taken away.
00:55:06As for what happened before, I owe you an apology.
00:55:09I will accept any punishment or scolding you see fit.
00:55:19Why would I still?
00:55:20Sir, you're willing to forgive me?
00:55:27You're not entirely a bad person.
00:55:30It's just that your words can be utterly vicious.
00:55:42Let's go.
00:55:42I'll see you in a chestnut cake.
00:56:02It was her!
00:56:03It was you who seduced his majesty.
00:56:17With us stuck the face of yours.
00:56:19No wonder you can't stay out of trouble.
00:56:21His majesty finding a bride outside the palace is not me.
00:56:24But when did your lowly servants dare to entertain such wicked thoughts?
00:56:29When did Evelyn ever seduce his majesty?
00:56:30Isabella, have you forgotten how much we suffered because of her?
00:56:34Evelyn never once provoked me intentionally.
00:56:35It was you who kept taking fights deliberately.
00:56:39Isabella!
00:56:41Do you even know who I am?
00:56:43How dare you act so insolently in my presence?
00:56:46Susan.
00:56:50Wait!
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.
00:56:59What 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.
00:57:10I 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.
00:57:24Stop!
00:57:24The 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 dare 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.
00:58:40There 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 in the palace.
00:58:51To defy your superiors is to seek death.
00:58:54You, Lady Catwell, the inner court is under the jurisdiction of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.
00:58:59To deal with the palace servants privately is likely against the rules.
00:59:02I beg you to show mercy.
00:59:03As the head of the Imperial House of Hero, you have allowed your mage to seduce His Majesty.
00:59:08Such behaviors are a dangerous example.
00:59:10This is unforgivable.
00:59:11Fetch my way!
00:59:11The Supreme Blossom banquet will be held at the beginning of next month.
00:59:20This year, all the nobles and dignitaries will be in attendance.
00:59:23Everything must be prepared perfectly.
00:59:24Your Majesty, rest assured, I will spare no effort in ensuring its success.
00:59:29You insolent servant.
00:59:33How dare you disturb His Majesty?
00:59:35His Majesty?
00:59:37This humble maid greets Your Majesty and beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling.
00:59:41What did you say?
00:59:42Evelyn's in danger.
00:59:48His Majesty?
00:59:50This humble maid greets Your Majesty and beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling.
00:59:54What did you say?
00:59:56Evelyn's in danger.
01:00:08What are you doing?
01:00:11It was me who offended Lady Cowell, but I did not wish for him to suffer 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!
01:00:43I greet the Empress Dowager!
01:00:46Empress Dowager?
01:00:48How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:54How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:58How is this possible?
01:01:00Her Majesty was merely testing me, but she never expected you to be so insolent.
01:01:05How dare you overstep and offend Her Majesty herself!
01:01:09Your Majesty...
01:01:10This humble subject admits her fault!
01:01:13I 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...
01:01:20This 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!
01:01:43This humble subject admits my fault!
01:01:46Your Majesty!
01:01:47It was this wretched maid!
01:01:48She told me to seduce His Majesty!
01:01:51This is why I lost my composure!
01:01:54Lady Calvwell!
01:01:55It was clear to you, Simon!
01:01:56If it weren't for your manipulation, how could I have spoken so recklessly before the Empress Dowager?
01:02:00The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble.
01:02:04Take her away and sell her at once!
01:02:07The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble.
01:02:10Take her away and sell her at once!
01:02:11Your Majesty have mercy!
01:02:13I did not spread rumors!
01:02:14I saw Evelyn flirting with the guards!
01:02:16I truly did not spread rumors!
01:02:17Your Majesty!
01:02:19I beg Your Majesty!
01:02:20You are the eldest daughter of the sturdy family!
01:02:22How dare you!
01:02:22Anna Caldwell, 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 dared to dream of becoming Empress.
01:02:31You are sentenced to one year in the Office of Discipline to reflect on your actions.
01:02:34Office of Discipline?
01:02:35No!
01:02:36Your Majesty!
01:02:37This humble subject admits her fault!
01:02:38Your Majesty, please spare me!
01:02:40I do not want to get to the Office of Discipline!
01:02:43I have questions for you.
01:02:47Where is Her Majesty taking them?
01:03:03Evelyn!
01:03:05Lucas!
01:03:06Did the Empress down to punish you?
01:03:08Of course not!
01:03:09Her Majesty wished to discuss the Spring Blossom Banquet with me!
01:03:12That's a relief!
01:03:14Evelyn!
01:03:14Evelyn has passed the test!
01:03:18Wonderful!
01:03:19I will reveal my identity to her and make her my Empress!
01:03:22There is no need to rush the coronation.
01:03:25The Ministry of Rights is preparing for the Spring Blossom Banquet next month.
01:03:29They may not have enough resources to manage both.
01:03:32Moreover, this matter is too sudden.
01:03:35I'm concerned the other Ministers may object.
01:03:38Mother, why not let Evelyn organize the Spring Blossom Banquet?
01:03:41If she can manage this banquet, it will not only prove her capability, but also make her coronation more acceptable to everyone.
01:03:48Her Majesty wants you to take charge of the Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:03:51Me?
01:03:53I don't know how to organize it.
01:03:58Don't worry.
01:03:59Trust your abilities.
01:04:00You shall triumph.
01:04:01I'll also assist you behind the scenes.
01:04:07Alright.
01:04:08Alright.
01:04:08Get moving, all of you.
01:04:17If anyone dares to slack off, my whip shows no mercy.
01:04:26Useless fool!
01:04:27Do you still think you're a pampered young lady?
01:04:29Huh?
01:04:30Once you're in the office of discipline, no one gets to laze around.
01:04:33Everyone, Sterling, this is all your fault!
01:04:43Get it!
01:04:44Don't touch me!
01:04:45I'm the daughter of Chancellor Cladwell!
01:04:47You better show some respect!
01:04:49The daughter of Chancellor Cladwell!
01:04:56In my past life, Adrian Montauk was promoted by the Empress Dahlweger 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.
01:05:09What a wretched place!
01:05:16They expect me, a lady, to wash my clothes myself?
01:05:21Where did this lowly maid come from?
01:05:23I...
01:05:24Lady, I have an urgent request.
01:05:29When?
01:05:29Why should I help you?
01:05:30I am of noble birth.
01:05:33Were it not for this temporary misfortune, you wouldn't even be worthy to speak to me.
01:05:40My elder sister, Evelyn Sterling, is the reason I was in prison here.
01:05:44If you help escape, I shall be forever endowed it to you.
01:05:50Evelyn Sterling?
01:05:56Not bad.
01:05:57The banquet itinerary is clear and well-structured.
01:06:00It is evident that much effort was put into it.
01:06:02And trusting you at the banquet's organization was indeed a wide choice.
01:06:05Many thanks for your majesty's praise.
01:06:07Your majesty, terrible news!
01:06:09The Office of Discipline is on fire!
01:06:11What?
01:06:19Sir, what is the situation inside?
01:06:21The fire has engulfed the entire rear courtyard.
01:06:23Nearly half the people couldn't make it out.
01:06:26Anna Caldwell.
01:06:30Your majesty!
01:06:30Your majesty!
01:06:37Your majesty!
01:06:38This humble subject has come to realize my mistakes!
01:06:42I beg you to spare me from this punishment.
01:06:43The Office of Discipline is a place I cannot enjoy even for a single day longer!
01:06:44As long as you're alive, at least this allows me to account for your well-being to your father.
01:06:48Enough!
01:06:49With your temperament, staying in the Office of Discipline would serve no purpose.
01:06:53Next month, you shall be the one to marry into Lior Empire.
01:06:55What?
01:06:56A marriage ally?
01:06:57What?
01:06:58Are you unwilling?
01:06:59Or would you prefer to continue staying in the Office of Discipline?
01:07:02No!
01:07:03This humble subject humbly obeys your majesty's decree.
01:07:05I shall depart for the marriage alliance next month.
01:07:07However, I have an impertinent request.
01:07:09I was able to escape this calamity.
01:07:10Thank you, Josephine Sterling risking her life to save.
01:07:11I dare to ask that your majesty release Josephine Sterling from the Office of Discipline.
