Transcript

00:00:00Lady Evelyn Sterling from the Montagues, a woman of virtue, diligent and gentle, hereby

00:00:05bestow the title of first-ranked Lady of Honor by Imperial Decree.

00:00:10We humbly thank His Majesty for His grace.

00:00:21Murder!

00:00:22Murder!

00:00:23Duh!

00:00:24Someone's been killed!

00:00:26Murder!

00:00:27Murder!

00:00:28Jesus!

00:00:31wh-

00:00:31Agh!

00:00:41Sister!

00:00:42Why

00:00:43Don't call me Sister!

00:00:44You are unworthy!

00:00:46We are both daughters of the sterling family.

00:00:48Why should you live better than me?!

00:00:50If only A3Montag caught my bridal bow three years ago.

00:00:57Hahaha!

00:00:59This little recovery is nothing but an illusion.

00:01:02If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.

00:01:07Hahaha!

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 bond.

00:01:57Sister, please let me go first.

00:02:05In my past life, Josephine insists that I go first.

00:02:10Feigning modesty and humility.

00:02:12Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.

00:02:21Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me! Lady Josephine, come on!

00:02:25In 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.

00:02:50Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank and I shall become a noble lady of honor.

00:02:58Josephine, you have schemed relentlessly.

00:03:01But little do you know that you're going to suffer a lot in the evil Montague family.

00:03:05Great, great, great! The whole family is counting on you!

00:03:10Oh, stop flattering me! I'm doing this just for our family.

00:03:14Once I become Lady Montague, I shall be mindful of my words and actions, bringing prosperity to our family.

00:03:20Sister, what do you say?

00:03:23You are truly fortunate. As your sister, I am happy for you.

00:03:29Evelyn, Lady Luck is with me this time.

00:03:32In this life, I will never let you overshadow me again.

00:03:41That is...

00:03:42Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

00:03:47Master, if the Empress tower did you find, so you're dressed like this.

00:03:51Mother's been always pressing me.

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 must darling, sir.

00:04:02Let's go to the bridal ball for marriage.

00:04:03Let's have a look.

00:04:05In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal ball.

00:04:08I had to run away and then suffer a lot.

00:04:10This time, I shall let you taste the pain of being abandoned by your own kin.

00:04:16Master, our family has now secured ties with the Montagues.

00:04:19Mother, how could you say such a thing?

00:04:29Sister 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.

00:05:15Sister, what terrible luck you have.

00:05:19A beggar out of so many people down there.

00:05:21How 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?

00:05:32What's done is done, sister.

00:05:33Do not be too upset.

00:05:35Though he is of lowly birth, but look.

00:05:38At least he got a pretty face.

00:05:39It 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.

00:06:11I'm dressed in such rags.

00:06:13She won't agree.

00:06:17Sister, why are you running?

00:06:19You cast the 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.

00:06:33In 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?

00:06:59My name is Evelyn Sterling.

00:07:01What's yours?

00:07:02I am Luke...

00:07:04Lucas Prescott.

00:07:11With all present as my witnesses today,

00:07:14I, Evelyn Sterling.

00:07:16Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband.

00:07:24Are you serious?

00:07:25Huh.

00:07:27Yeah.

00:07:29The ball is in your hands.

00:07:31You want to...

00:07:32reject me.

00:07:34I didn't.

00:07:36It's just that I'm poor as hell.

00:07:38Marrying me would mean a life of uncertainty.

00:07:41Are you sure?

00:07:41We'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 going to marry him?

00:08:00I'm not.

00:08:01Evelyn.

00:08:02You're sure about this?

00:08:04Marry this beggar.

00:08:06And your future is ruined.

00:08:08I do not believe that is true.

00:08:10Future won't be decided like that.

00:08:12Lucas,

00:08:13he may be in rags now,

00:08:15but I can see his humility

00:08:16and good manner.

00:08:18He's going to make a difference, maybe.

00:08:20You are...

00:08:21Rule is rule.

00:08:23You're not eating your words,

00:08:25are you, sir?

00:08:25Indeed.

00:08:26If he refuses,

00:08:27that's breaking the rules

00:08:29and going to 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.

00:08:51Sister,

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.

00:09:03Life with the Montague's

00:09:05is not as easy as you imagine.

00:09:16You.

00:09:20In three days,

00:09:22remember to come to propose.

00:09:23It's her or Mother's pressing.

00:09:26So I might as well...

00:09:27All right.

00:09:28I'll be there.

00:09:29Today,

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.

00:10:11It's the bridegroom.

00:10:12The bridegroom has arrived.

00:10:15Oh,

00:10:16as expected of the second son

00:10:18of the Montague family,

00:10:19the spectacle is grand indeed.

00:10:21Of course,

00:10:21the Montagues

00:10:22hold immense power.

00:10:23Marrying into their family,

00:10:24Lady Josephine Sterling

00:10:25will live a life

00:10:26of endless luxury.

00:10:27Unlike Evelyn,

00:10:28marrying a beggar,

00:10:29this will certainly

00:10:30be an interesting sight

00:10:30to behold.

00:10:32My respects to my honor,

00:10:33father and mother-in-law.

00:10:34Please rise,

00:10:35my son-in-law.

00:10:35My son-in-law.

00:10:36Such an elaborate

00:10:37wedding procession

00:10:39is a spectacle

00:10:39worthy of Highgate.

00:10:41For our dear Josephine

00:10:42to be regarded

00:10:43so highly by you

00:10:44is an honor

00:10:45to the Sterling family.

00:10:49Sister,

00:10:51the auspicious hour

00:10:52is nearly over.

00:10:52Why has your husband

00:10:53not come for you?

00:10:55Could it be that

00:10:55he's not coming at all?

00:11:04I,

00:11:04your humble son-in-law,

00:11:05greet my honored

00:11:06father-in-law.

00:11:12My lady.

00:11:17My lady.

00:11:18Are you here to beg

00:11:19for the alms

00:11:19or take a bride?

00:11:21Dressed in such rags,

00:11:22do you not feel ashamed?

00:11:23Compared to Lord Montague,

00:11:25you're as far apart

00:11:26as heaven and earth.

00:11:28Just what are you wearing?

00:11:29In front of so many

00:11:31esteemed officials,

00:11:32are you not bringing

00:11:33shame upon me?

00:11:34Today is your wedding day,

00:11:36and yet you came

00:11:37dressed like this?

00:11:38Do you not find

00:11:39this is a disgrace?

00:11:40Do you not find

00:11:41this humiliating?

00:11:42Marriage is a lifelong

00:11:43commitment,

00:11:44building upon sincerity,

00:11:45not mere appearances.

00:11:46The men I,

00:11:47Evelyn Sterling,

00:11:48have chosen.

00:11:49It's not one whose worth

00:11:50can be swayed

00:11:50by idle words.

00:11:51Have you not

00:11:52embarrassed us enough?

00:11:54Master,

00:11:55do not be angered.

00:11:57From the moment

00:11:57Evelyn steps beyond

00:11:59this threshold,

00:12:00she'll no longer

00:12:01be a Sterling.

00:12:02The auspicious hour

00:12:03has arrived.

00:12:04Bring the bride

00:12:05to the carriage.

00:12:13This is the...

00:12:14congratulations,

00:12:18Master Sterling.

00:12:19Your son-in-law

00:12:20is truly an

00:12:20exceptional man.

00:12:24Many thanks,

00:12:25Deputy Minister.

00:12:26Please come inside.

00:12:27Off to you.

00:12:30Surely you didn't

00:12:31arrive on foot today.

00:12:34On 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.

00:12:42M'lady,

00:12:47please,

00:12:48allow me to take you home.

00:13:08Bow to the heavens

00:13:09and the earth.

00:13:11Is this the place

00:13:12they've found us

00:13:13to live in?

00:13:14Bow to the elders.

00:13:20A shabby place like this,

00:13:21is it even fit for 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.

00:13:28The ceremony is complete!

00:13:36The ceremony is complete!

00:13:38My lady,

00:13:39I have put you

00:13:40through hardship,

00:13:41having a life with me

00:13:42in such a shabby place.

00:13:43Not at all.

00:13:45I 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.

00:13:56At this moment,

00:13:58I have nothing

00:13:59of value to give you.

00:14:01The shade pendant

00:14:02was left to me

00:14:03by my father.

00:14:04I've carried it

00:14:05with me all these years.

00:14:07And now,

00:14:08I'm giving it

00:14:09to you.

00:14:14It's so precious.

00:14:16Are you certain of it?

00:14:17All right.

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.

00:15:05All right.

00:15:06I'll go with you.

00:15:07All right.

00:15:09Let's go.

00:15:09Greetings,

00:15:15your majesty.

00:15:20Greetings,

00:15:21your majesty.

00:15:22Who are they?

00:15:27The palace is too complicated.

00:15:29Once everything's settled,

00:15:30I'll reveal my identity

00:15:31to Evelyn.

00:15:31They are...

00:15:32They're here for Victor.

00:15:41Yes, yes.

00:15:42I used to serve

00:15:43in the palace.

00:15:44These are all

00:15:44old acquaintances.

00:15:49Evelyn,

00:15:49I'll help Victor

00:15:50to entertain the guests.

00:15:51Will you be all right

00:15:52buying threat

00:15:52on your own?

00:15:53Yes.

00:16:08Speak!

00:16:09What happened?

00:16:10The Empress Dowager

00:16:10distressed over

00:16:11your majesty's presence

00:16:12and suddenly collapsed.

00:16:13What?

00:16:14Victor,

00:16:14stay here and protect Evelyn.

00:16:16Let's head back.

00:16:17Yes, your majesty.

00:16:18Get someone

00:16:19to deliver

00:16:20some valuable gifts

00:16:20to Sterling Estate.

00:16:22Say that your

00:16:23Evelyn's homecoming gift.

00:16:24Yes, your majesty.

00:16:25Let's go.

00:16:26Father,

00:16:27mother,

00:16:28your daughter has 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

00:16:48to meet the family.

00:16:49My husband

00:16:50wanted to come,

00:16:51but something

00:16:52urgent came up.

00:16:53Since being married

00:16:54to the beggar,

00:16:55Lady Evelyn Sterling

00:16:56must have suffered

00:16:57a great deal.

00:16:58You look much frailer

00:16:59than before.

00:17:01Had you not married

00:17:02that filthy beggar,

00:17:04perhaps I would have

00:17:04taken you as a concubine.

00:17:06At least you wouldn't

00:17:06have fallen to such a state.

00:17:08That will not be necessary.

00:17:10I am living well.

00:17:11As of for you,

00:17:12sister,

00:17:13it has been quite a few days

00:17:14since you had seen

00:17:15your husband before.

00:17:16You...

00:17:17screw you,

00:17:19Adrian.

00:17:19Went drinking

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.

00:17:25Just the feed.

00:17:30Father,

00:17:31mother.

00:17:32Greetings to you both.

00:17:34Greetings to you both.

00:17:36You've returned alone.

00:17:37How can you still

00:17:38have the face

00:17:38to come back?

00:17:39What does your husband

00:17:40do all day?

00:17:41Not even accompanying you

00:17:43for your homecoming.

00:17:44Mother,

00:17:45you're thinking

00:17:46too highly of her.

00:17:47That filthy beggar

00:17:48is probably begging

00:17:49in the streets right now.

00:17:51How could he possibly

00:17:52compare to my husband?

00:17:55Father-in-law,

00:17:56your humble son-in-law

00:17:57has brought a small gift.

00:18:03Our dear Josephine

00:18:05has truly found herself

00:18:06a fine husband.

00:18:07For our daughter

00:18:07to marry such a fine gentleman,

00:18:09it must be the blessing

00:18:10she has earned

00:18:11over eight lifetimes.

00:18:12Unlike someone

00:18:13who chose a beggar

00:18:15as her husband,

00:18:16our sterling family

00:18:17has raised you

00:18:18for so many years

00:18:19and yet you come back

00:18:20empty-handed

00:18:21on your homecoming day.

00:18:23Indeed, sister.

00:18:25This is my homecoming gift.

00:18:27Have you fallen

00:18:28into such poverty

00:18:29that you cannot even afford

00:18:30a proper homecoming gift?

00:18:38Father,

00:18:40mother,

00:18:40these are the two

00:18:41protective talamans

00:18:42I made for you by hand.

00:18:43A blessing to you both.

00:18:44Wishing you peace

00:18:45and prosperity.

00:18:46Oh!

00:18:47Oh!

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.

00:19:06Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

00:19:07Oh, right.

00:19:08She has married a beggar.

00:19:10What else

00:19:10could we expect from her?

00:19:11Ha ha ha ha ha!

00:19:13Ha ha ha ha ha!

00:19:15Ha ha ha ha ha!

00:19:17Master,

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 Sterling,

00:19:28who exactly

00:19:28has your eldest daughter

00:19:30married a mountain nobility?

00:19:31Even the palace saw fit

00:19:32to have me personally

00:19:33deliver these gifts to you.

00:19:34You must hold

00:19:34great influence indeed.

00:19:36Gifts from the palace?

00:19:37Then it must be

00:19:38from his majesty himself.

00:19:39It was personally arranged

00:19:40by the chief eunuch

00:19:41at his majesty's side.

00:19:42He said,

00:19:43for the Sterling family's...

00:19:46...outest daughter.

00:19:49Oh,

00:19:49Mr. Ashford,

00:19:52you must be mistaken.

00:19:53All of Highgate knows

00:19:55that Evelyn married a beggar.

00:19:58How could she possibly

00:19:59have ties to anyone

00:20:01in the palace?

00:20:02Oh,

00:20:03this must surely

00:20:04be a courtesy

00:20:05to young Master Montague.

00:20:08Ha ha ha ha!

00:20:10Indeed.

00:20:11In this world,

00:20:12those seeking favor

00:20:13with the Montague family

00:20:14are countless.

00:20:15Even those in the palace

00:20:16are paying their respects.

00:20:18Father-in-law,

00:20:19please accept with joy.

00:20:20Ha ha ha ha ha!

00:20:22Josephine is mad.

00:20:23Married a remarkable husband.

00:20:25Just look at the grandeur

00:20:26of her homecoming.

00:20:27Such lavish gifts!

00:20:29Our Sterling family

00:20:30is truly honored

00:20:30beyond measure!

00:20:32Ha ha ha ha!

00:20:33The gifts have been delivered.

00:20:35I shall take my leave.

00:20:37Oh, take care!

00:20:38Take care!

00:20:39Sister,

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 the quality

00:20:49of gifts,

00:20:50but the sincerity behind them.

00:20:51I see nothing inappropriate

00:20:52in this.

00:20:53I've poured my heart

00:20:55and effort into raising you,

00:20:56and yet,

00:20:56not only did you marry a beggar,

00:20:58but you even bring back

00:20:59these worthless rags

00:21:00to disgrace me!

00:21:01The Sterling family

00:21:01has no place

00:21:02for such a disgraceful daughter!

00:21:04Simply 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,

00:21:13who 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,

00:21:32a daughter is nothing

00:21:34more than a pawn

00:21:35to suck your power

00:21:36in favor.

00:21:37Outrageous!

00:21:38How dare you

00:21:39speak to your father

00:21:41in such a manner!

00:21:45A dragon jade pendant?

00:21:49Outrageous!

00:21:51And now,

00:21:52I must inform

00:21:52his majesty.

00:21:55Give it back to me!

00:21:57This jade pendant

00:21:58looks of fine quality.

00:22:00From where

00:22:01did you steal it,

00:22:02sister?

00:22:04That is from Lucas.

00:22:05Give it back!

00:22:08That wretched beggar?

00:22:09He will never

00:22:10possess such

00:22:11a fine pendant.

00:22:12He must have

00:22:13stolen it

00:22:14from 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 Sterlings.

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

00:22:47a beggar.

00:22:48Bringing shame

00:22:49upon the Sterling family,

00:22:50you are unworthy

00:22:51to be my daughter.

00:22:52On this day forth,

00:22:53I have only one daughter,

00:22:55Josephine!

00:22:55For the rest of my life,

00:23:04I seek only

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 Sterlings,

00:23:13since that is the case.

00:23:14Hi, Evelyn Sterling.

00:23:25Severe all ties

00:23:27with the Sterling family.

00:23:29We're here

00:23:30and forth,

00:23:30strangers.

00:23:31All for the sake

00:23:41of a worthless beggar.

00:23:43You would sever

00:23:44ties with 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 charcoal

00:24:06from the kitchen.

00:24:07Scatter them

00:24:07across the floor.

00:24:09What are you trying

00:24:10to do?

00:24:12Your Majesty,

00:24:13something here

00:24:14of course happened.

00:24:14Lady Evelyn

00:24:15was humiliated

00:24:15at the Sterling estate.

00:24:22One's body

00:24:23and 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

00:24:28kindness.

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

00:24:35present anything

00:24:36of great value.

00:24:37Then you have no choice

00:24:38but to walk barefoot

00:24:39across this bed

00:24:40of burning charcoal.

00:24:43It is pleasing

00:24:44so fiercely.

00:24:45How could anyone

00:24:46survive walking

00:24:46across them?

00:24:47I will not walk.

00:24:50Oh?

00:24:51It seems,

00:24:52dear sister,

00:24:53that you no longer

00:24:54want this jade pendant.

00:24:56stop!

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

00:25:09a couple.

00:25:10I will walk.

00:25:11for the sake of a filthy beggar,

00:25:33you would go to such lengths?

00:25:34You must have

00:25:35lost your mind.

00:25:37For a mere jade pendant,

00:25:39a lady born into privilege

00:25:41would willingly walk

00:25:42across burning charcoal.

00:25:43No wonder she was

00:25:44foolish 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.

00:25:54No wonder,

00:25:55dear sister,

00:25:56cherishes it so.

00:25:58The jade pendant

00:25:59was left to me

00:26:00than my father.

00:26:01I've carried it

00:26:02with me all these years.

00:26:03and now,

00:26:05I'm giving it to you.

00:26:14For me,

00:26:15my lady.

00:26:17Lucas,

00:26:18do not worry.

00:26:20I will reclaim

00:26:21the jade pendant.

00:26:33Can you

00:26:33return the jade pendant

00:26:36to me now?

00:26:38You want it?

00:26:41Then crawl over

00:26:42and take it.

00:26:43As long as you crawl over,

00:26:45this jade pendant

00:26:45will be yours.

00:26:47The jade pendant

00:27:03was left to me

00:27:04than my father.

00:27:05I've carried it

00:27:05with me all these years.

00:27:08And now,

00:27:08I'm giving it to you.

00:27:12All right.

00:27:13I will cherish

00:27:15it well.

00:27:15I will cherish it well.

00:27:16You claim

00:27:40to cherish

00:27:42your love

00:27:42for that filthy beggar.

00:27:43But if you were

00:27:45disfigured,

00:27:46would your dearest

00:27:47husband still want you?

00:27:49Why are you

00:27:51looking at me

00:27:52like that?

00:27:52I 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.

00:28:00You exhaust yourself

00:28:01trying to torment me.

00:28:03But do you truly

00:28:04believe you'll get

00:28:05your way?

00:28:07I want you

00:28:08to spend the rest

00:28:09of your days

00:28:10wallowing in the gutter,

00:28:11watching as I rise

00:28:13to become

00:28:13the most esteemed

00:28:14woman in the world.

00:28:24His majesty has arrived!

00:28:32Who 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 be.

00:28:43Lucas,

00:28:45I didn't lose

00:28:46your Jake 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 Imperial Guards?

00:29:01Why would they

00:29:01take orders

00:29:02from a beggar?

00:29:02I heard that filthy

00:29:03beggar's brother

00:29:04once served 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 come

00:29:11to regain his dignity?

00:29:12Ha!

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 fine

00:29:18husband you've chosen.

00:29:19Useless is one thing,

00:29:21but to be so audacious

00:29:22as to steal

00:29:23from the Imperial Palace?

00:29:24If his majesty

00:29:25were to fan out,

00:29:26do you really believe

00:29:27you will be spared?

00:29:27Deviant fools,

00:29:28you're doomed!

00:29:32You!

00:29:32What do you think

00:29:33you're doing?

00:29:34Evelyn,

00:29:34come with me.

00:29:36Evelyn,

00:29:36what's wrong?

00:29:47Who did this?

00:29:49Lucas!

00:29:57Yes,

00:29:57it was me!

00:29:58So what?

00:29:58I was only trying

00:29:59to help my dear sister.

00:30:00Who would have thought

00:30:01she would walk

00:30:02barefoot across

00:30:02the burning charcoal?

00:30:03I wonder what

00:30:05she was thinking.

00:30:06Such a fool!

00:30:06Silence!

00:30:07And who do you think

00:30:08you are to dare

00:30:09raise your voice

00:30:10before me?

00:30:11Yes,

00:30:12I'm insulting her

00:30:13because she married

00:30:14a worthless man.

00:30:15I am a noble lady

00:30:16with the Montag family.

00:30:17You are nothing

00:30:18but insects beneath

00:30:19my feet.

00:30:20Even if I were

00:30:21to kill you here and now,

00:30:22you ought to kneel

00:30:23and sack me for it.

00:30:23Let's see how much

00:30:24longer you can keep

00:30:25up this charade.

00:30:26Guard!

00:30:26Seize this filthy beggar

00:30:28and Evelyn Sterling!

00:30:29Wait.

00:30:33How dare you

00:30:34humiliate my lady?

00:30:37Seize them!

00:30:38Seize them!

00:30:42How dare you!

00:30:43I'm Lady Josephine Montag!

00:30:47My husband,

00:30:48save me!

00:30:48You filthy beggar!

00:30:49Guards!

00:30:49Whoever kills him

00:30:50for me,

00:30:50I shall reward him

00:30:51with ten tails of gold.

00:30:56Insolent, wretch!

00:30:57Lord Montague

00:30:58is of royal lineage!

00:30:59Who dare lay a hand

00:31:00on him,

00:31:00you shall make an enemy

00:31:01of the entire

00:31:02Montague family!

00:31:03And what of it?

00:31:04Anyone who dares

00:31:05to harm my lady

00:31:06shall only have

00:31:07one face,

00:31:08death!

00:31:11You filthy beggar,

00:31:13you're taking

00:31:13this act too far!

00:31:14Before I lose my temper,

00:31:16release me at once!

00:31:17I might disappear

00:31:17your life!

00:31:18You've tortured Evelyn

00:31:19to such wretched state!

00:31:21Press their faces!

00:31:23Straight into

00:31:23the burning charcoal!

00:31:27No!

00:31:28Oh!

00:31:33court arrives,

00:31:34you are doomed!

00:31:36All right!

00:31:37My brother is an

00:31:38official of the

00:31:39imperial court!

00:31:39Do you really think

00:31:40you'll walk away

00:31:41alive?

00:31:42I'd like to see

00:31:42if the judicial

00:31:44court would

00:31:45tolerate this!

00:31:47Carry on!

00:31:49Help!

00:31:50Help!

00:31:50No!

00:31:51Excuse me!

00:31:52You wretched fool!

00:31:53If you wish to die,

00:31:54don't drag your

00:31:55stolen family down

00:31:56with you!

00:31:57No!

00:31:57stop!

00:31:58Stop!

00:31:59Brother!

00:32:00Brother!

00:32:01Brother!

00:32:01Save me!

00:32:01Who is harming my

00:32:13brother?

00:32:17The imperial secret

00:32:18guards, why are they

00:32:19here?

00:32:20Yes, I summoned them!

00:32:23That voice, could it be

00:32:25your majesty?

00:32:29Your majesty?

00:32:33The emperor?

00:32:34How could this

00:32:35filthy beggar...

00:32:36Brother, don't let this

00:32:38filthy beggar fool you!

00:32:39These clothes he's wearing

00:32:40are all stolen from the

00:32:41imperial palace!

00:32:41All these people were

00:32:42bribed by him with a huge

00:32:43sum of money!

00:32:44That's right!

00:32:45You're new to this office!

00:32:46It's normal to get the

00:32:47wrong person, but he really

00:32:48is a filthy beggar!

00:32:49He can't possibly be the

00:32:50emperor!

00:32:51That's true.

00:32:52The emperor couldn't

00:32:53possibly be here.

00:32:54Wretched girl, look at

00:32:56the fine husband you've

00:32:57chosen!

00:32:58You've offended Lord

00:32:59Montague!

00:32:59I'll see how you plan to

00:33:01end this!

00:33:02My lord, you must uphold

00:33:04justice for us!

00:33:05This filthy beggar and

00:33:06Evelyn Sterling, they

00:33:07defied human ethics, even

00:33:09intended to murder us!

00:33:11Outrageous!

00:33:12At the foot of the

00:33:13imperial city!

00:33:14How can you act so

00:33:14brazenly?

00:33:15Guards, take them to the

00:33:16dungeon of the judicial

00:33:17court!

00:33:18Interrogate them with

00:33:18torture!

00:33:19Wait!

00:33:20What else do you have

00:33:22to say?

00:33:23Since when was this

00:33:24position of Lord

00:33:25Justice Deputy?

00:33:26Yours to assume!

00:33:27You filthy beggar!

00:33:29How could you possibly

00:33:29know about court

00:33:30appointments?

00:33:31My brother was

00:33:32appointed by the

00:33:32Empress Dowager herself!

00:33:34What now?

00:33:34Regret finally sinking

00:33:35in?

00:33:36Even the Empress Dowager

00:33:37was deceived!

00:33:39Your Montague family

00:33:40truly is impressive!

00:33:45Empress Dowager,

00:33:46please speak up for

00:33:47your subject!

00:33:48His Majesty, outside

00:33:49the palace, marry the

00:33:50eldest daughter of the

00:33:51Sterling family!

00:33:51Because that woman

00:33:52His Majesty even

00:33:53lashed out!

00:33:53His Majesty married

00:33:54another woman outside

00:33:55the palace?

00:33:57Guards!

00:33:57Prepare the

00:33:58Sedan!

00:34:01Insolent!

00:34:02How dare you offend the

00:34:03Emperor Dowager?

00:34:04Are you trying to get

00:34:04yourself killed?

00:34:05Lord Montague,

00:34:06please see clearly,

00:34:08our Sterling family has

00:34:09long severed ties with

00:34:10Evelyn Sterling!

00:34:11Every word she says has

00:34:12nothing to do with us!

00:34:14That's right, my lord!

00:34:14Our Sterling family has

00:34:16always followed the

00:34:17rules!

00:34:17We would never dare speak

00:34:18against the royal family!

00:34:19Please, see the truth, my lord!

00:34:21The President in the

00:34:21Royalty is the capital

00:34:22of crime!

00:34:23You must not let them

00:34:24go, my lord!

00:34:24Evelyn Sterling, your

00:34:25dear husband has now

00:34:26committed a heinous

00:34:27crime!

00:34:28No matter who comes

00:34:29today, they cannot save

00:34:31you!

00:34:32I can't...

00:34:33I can't...

00:34:33Lucas break up

00:34:34behind Sparrus, my lord!

00:34:36He didn't mean to

00:34:36offend...

00:34:38Evelyn!

00:34:44Evelyn, let's go!

00:34:45How dare you!

00:34:47Trying to run?

00:34:48Guards, stop them!

00:34:49Whoever dares to block us

00:34:50again, kill without mercy!

00:34:52Yes, sir!

00:34:57Trying to escape?

00:34:58It's not that easy!

00:35:04Lucas!

00:35:09Lucas!

00:35:10Lucas!

00:35:10Josephine Sterling, why

00:35:13is your heart so vicious?

00:35:15Lucas has no grievance

00:35:16with you, yet you

00:35:16harms him so cruelly!

00:35:18This filthy beggar

00:35:19actually tried to have

00:35:19some disfigure me?

00:35:21Of course I couldn't

00:35:22let you leave!

00:35:23Lucas!

00:35:27Stop looking!

00:35:28Your man won't be here

00:35:29to save you this time!

00:35:30You've got a death wish!

00:35:32Lucas!

00:35:34Well, you still can't...

00:35:35Hurry and go!

00:35:35I can't!

00:35:36Go?

00:35:37You still think

00:35:38he can go?

00:35:38Josephine Sterling!

00:35:42Why won't you

00:35:43just let me go?

00:35:46I have to admit,

00:35:48sister, you're truly

00:35:49fortunate

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 like this,

00:35:55the more impossible

00:35:56it is for me

00:35:56to let you have your way!

00:35:58You...

00:35:58Josephine!

00:36:00The grudge between us

00:36:01should not involve 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, please!

00:36:08Avalyn,

00:36:09you don't need

00:36:10to waste your breath

00:36:10on her!

00:36:11I can't drag you

00:36:11into this!

00:36:12How touching!

00:36:14Even at a time

00:36:15like this!

00:36:16You still have time

00:36:17to flirt with

00:36:18this filthy beggar?

00:36:19Since you're feeling

00:36:20wrong so deep,

00:36:22I might as well

00:36:22send you both

00:36:23to death together!

00:36:26What are you

00:36:26waiting for?

00:36:28Die!

00:36:29Alan, watch out!

00:36:32The Empress Dowager

00:36:33has arrived!

00:36:34I'd like to see

00:36:35who dares harm

00:36:36my royal son!

00:36:37He really

00:36:41is the Emperor?

00:36:44He...

00:36:45He really

00:36:46is the Emperor?

00:36:47Avalyn!

00:36:48Imperial physician!

00:36:50Call the Imperial physician!

00:36:51Your Majesty!

00:36:52Victor Langley,

00:36:53I ordered her

00:36:54immediately

00:36:54to send her back

00:36:55for treatment.

00:36:56If anything happens

00:36:56to her,

00:36:57I'll make sure you pay!

00:36:58You're servitor, base!

00:36:59Come, come, come!

00:37:00Hurry!

00:37:01All members of the

00:37:05Starling family

00:37:05have been arrested.

00:37:07Your Majesty?

00:37:08Your...

00:37:09Your Majesty?

00:37:11What?

00:37:12You called him...

00:37:13Your Majesty!

00:37:14Wasn't he a beggar?

00:37:15Pass down my decree.

00:37:17Sebastian Serding

00:37:17and his family

00:37:18are executed

00:37:19on the spot!

00:37:20Master!

00:37:23Madam!

00:37:24Adam and Montague,

00:37:26as an official

00:37:27of the court,

00:37:27you abused your power

00:37:28and aided evil

00:37:29from this day forth.

00:37:30You are stripped

00:37:31of your duty,

00:37:32imprisoned

00:37:32along the Montague

00:37:33in the Judicial Court.

00:37:34Spare me, Your Majesty.

00:37:35Spare me.

00:37:36Please spare me,

00:37:37Your Majesty!

00:37:38Thank You,

00:37:39Your Majesty,

00:37:39to revoke the order!

00:37:41It was my fault!

00:37:44I failed to see

00:37:45the truth,

00:37:46Your Majesty!

00:37:47When you humiliated

00:37:48Evelyn back then,

00:37:49did you ever think

00:37:50this day would come?

00:37:53Impossible!

00:37:54Given a second chance

00:37:55to life,

00:37:56how can I still

00:37:56make the wrong choice?

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 Strangley family.

00:38:02Empress Dowager,

00:38:03please,

00:38:03for the sake

00:38:04of my father's honor,

00:38:05spare me once!

00:38:06I beg Your Majesty

00:38:07and Empress Dowager

00:38:08for mercy!

00:38:09Please have mercy,

00:38:10Empress Dowager!

00:38:11Have mercy,

00:38:12Empress Dowager!

00:38:13My son,

00:38:14although the two

00:38:15unfilial sons

00:38:16of the Montague family

00:38:17are foolish,

00:38:18they were not

00:38:18the masterminds.

00:38:19They should be

00:38:19punished later.

00:38:20The Sterling family

00:38:21is a household

00:38:22of commoners.

00:38:23To execute them all

00:38:24is indeed

00:38:25lacking consideration

00:38:26for the women.

00:38:27I saw that woman

00:38:28who was badly injured,

00:38:29my son.

00:38:30You should go

00:38:30tend to her quickly.

00:38:37Huh!

00:38:37Lucas,

00:38:49are you all right?

00:38:51Are you all right?

00:38:52Did you get hurt?

00:38:53I'm fine.

00:38:54Lie down quickly.

00:38:54The Imperius Physician

00:38:55said you have to lie down.

00:38:57Come on!

00:38:58Imperius Physician?

00:39:01What is going on?

00:39:02Why are we in the palace?

00:39:05What exactly happened?

00:39:08It was the Empress Dowager

00:39:09who saved us.

00:39:10The Empress Dowager?

00:39:13You want to make

00:39:14Evelyn Sterling

00:39:15your Empress?

00:39:16I absolutely

00:39:16do not approve.

00:39:18I pledge myself

00:39:19to Evelyn

00:39:20for life in private.

00:39:22Whether you approve

00:39:22or not,

00:39:23I will overcome

00:39:23all obstacles

00:39:24to make Evelyn

00:39:25my Empress.

00:39:26You!

00:39:29If you truly wish

00:39:30to make her impressed,

00:39:31she must pass

00:39:32my test.

00:39:34But,

00:39:36but,

00:39:37before that,

00:39:39you must not

00:39:39let her know

00:39:40your identity.

00:39:42Otherwise,

00:39:43I have plenty

00:39:44of ways

00:39:45to stop you.

00:39:48She left the palace

00:39:49to pray.

00:39:50Just happened to walk

00:39:51by the Sterling State.

00:39:52That's how she saved us.

00:39:55Then,

00:39:56what about

00:39:58my father

00:39:59and the others?

00:40:00The Empress Dowager

00:40:00gave the order

00:40:01to have them all

00:40:02beaten 50 strikes each.

00:40:03Adrian Montague

00:40:04frequented

00:40:04the pleasure districts.

00:40:05His body

00:40:06couldn't take it

00:40:06and he fainted.

00:40:07The Empress Dowager

00:40:08ordered him

00:40:08to be put in confinement

00:40:09and your sister

00:40:10was also sent

00:40:11to the Office of Discipline

00:40:12to do hard labor.

00:40:13And for your father

00:40:14and the others,

00:40:15they were exiled.

00:40:17Exiled?

00:40:19Evelyn,

00:40:21from now on,

00:40:22I will protect you.

00:40:23I asked the Empress Dowager

00:40:26for a position

00:40:27and assigned you

00:40:28to the 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 comes,

00:40:38we may work in the palace

00:40:39for three to five years.

00:40:40Then we can leave together

00:40:41and live a simple life.

00:40:43Okay.

00:40:50Evelyn,

00:40:51I hope

00:40:52you can forgive me.

00:40:58Evelyn,

00:40:59when I have some free time,

00:41:00I'll come to see you.

00:41:02Alright.

00:41:05Great.

00:41:05Guests should notify us

00:41:15before touring

00:41:16the Imperial Household Bureau.

00:41:20This one here

00:41:21is the steward

00:41:21of the Bureau,

00:41:22Ma'am Langston.

00:41:23If you need anything,

00:41:24just go to her.

00:41:27Greetings,

00:41:27Ma'am Langston.

00:41:30This one here

00:41:30is a newly arrived maid,

00:41:32Evelyn Sterling.

00:41:33In the days to come,

00:41:34please take good care

00:41:35of her,

00:41:35Ma'am Langston.

00:41:37Rest assured,

00:41:38I will take good care

00:41:39of Miss Evelyn.

00:41:40I definitely

00:41:41won't let her

00:41:42do heavy work.

00:41:47Lucas,

00:41:49I came here

00:41:50to work, right?

00:41:51Why does it feel like

00:41:52I'm being treated

00:41:53like a mistress?

00:41:58She...

00:41:59Maybe she's

00:42:02a nice person.

00:42:04Miss Evelyn,

00:42:09please come with me.

00:42:12Go ahead.

00:42:27You!

00:42:28Clean all of these

00:42:28thoroughly.

00:42:30You and I both work

00:42:31at the Imperial Household Bureau.

00:42:33The tasks are assigned

00:42:34in advance.

00:42:34Why should I be

00:42:35the one to do your work?

00:42:36You've got the nerves

00:42:37to ask?

00:42:37It's because of you

00:42:38that I ended up

00:42:39cleaning the toilet bowl.

00:42:40Some people

00:42:41must have used

00:42:41certain means

00:42:42to land a post here

00:42:43and somehow

00:42:43even earn

00:42:44Ma'am Langston's favor.

00:42:45She got all

00:42:46the Yeezy's work

00:42:46assigned to you.

00:42:53Hey!

00:42:54Give it back to me!

00:43:07The Dragon Jade Pendant?

00:43:09There's something

00:43:09only His Majesty

00:43:10can wear.

00:43:11Hurry in and

00:43:11inform Madam Langston.

00:43:12Someone is stealing.

00:43:14Oh, Majesty.

00:43:15Give it back to me

00:43:16right now.

00:43:16What are you waiting

00:43:31for?

00:43:32Grab her!

00:43:34Everyone,

00:43:34stop right there!

00:43:41Your Grace,

00:43:42the Imperial Household Bureau

00:43:44is such a crude place.

00:43:45You have never

00:43:46come here before.

00:43:47It might harm

00:43:48your noble health.

00:43:49Allow me to announce

00:43:50your arrival.

00:43:51No need.

00:43:52This time,

00:43:53I am disguised

00:43:53as a Bureau Matron

00:43:54because I want

00:43:55to truly know

00:43:56Evelyn Sterling.

00:43:58She must never

00:43:59learn of my identity.

00:44:08Palace rules

00:44:09are strict.

00:44:10I was only gone

00:44:11for a little while.

00:44:12And you dare

00:44:13behave so wildly.

00:44:14What do you take

00:44:15the Imperial Household

00:44:15Bureau for?

00:44:16Ma'am,

00:44:17she stole

00:44:17His Majesty's

00:44:18Jade Pendant.

00:44:21The one thing

00:44:21most forbidden

00:44:22in the harm

00:44:23is thief.

00:44:23She feared

00:44:24being exposed

00:44:24and even tried

00:44:25to harm me.

00:44:26Ma'am,

00:44:27you must punish

00:44:28her properly.

00:44:29Ma'am Langston,

00:44:30please let me explain.

00:44:32This isn't

00:44:32what happened.

00:44:33Enough.

00:44:34Hand over

00:44:35the Jade Pendant.

00:44:39The pendant

00:44:40belongs to me.

00:44:41I said,

00:44:44hand over the

00:44:45Jade Pendant.

00:44:46The Dragon Jade Pendant.

00:45:02It truly belongs

00:45:03to His Majesty.

00:45:04The Dragon Jade Pendant.

00:45:06It truly belongs

00:45:07to His Majesty.

00:45:08The Emperor

00:45:09even gave her

00:45:10something disimportant?

00:45:11She even dares

00:45:12to steal

00:45:13His Majesty's Pendant.

00:45:14In the future,

00:45:15who knows

00:45:15what outrageous

00:45:16things she might do.

00:45:17Palace rules

00:45:18are very clear.

00:45:19Anyone caught

00:45:20stealing goods

00:45:20worth more than

00:45:21one dollar

00:45:21will have their

00:45:22left foot cut off

00:45:23and be branded.

00:45:24Ma'am,

00:45:25please listen

00:45:26to my explanation.

00:45:27This pendant

00:45:27was given to me

00:45:28by someone

00:45:28very dear to me.

00:45:30It was definitely

00:45:31not stolen.

00:45:32I truly don't know

00:45:33how it could

00:45:33belong to His Majesty.

00:45:34We confirm

00:45:35the pendant

00:45:35belongs to my son.

00:45:37Wouldn't that

00:45:37expose us to your identity?

00:45:39No.

00:45:40We can't rely

00:45:41on the object

00:45:41to prove

00:45:42there was theft involved.

00:45:43I'll thoroughly

00:45:44investigate this matter

00:45:45until the truth

00:45:46is found.

00:45:47The pendant

00:45:47will remain with me.

00:45:48If you are truly

00:45:49innocent,

00:45:50I will make things

00:45:50right for you.

00:45:51Thank you, Ma'am.

00:45:54This is the new

00:45:55steward,

00:45:55Madam Williams.

00:45:56From now on,

00:45:57she will work

00:45:58with me

00:45:58to manage

00:45:59the Bureau.

00:45:59All of you

00:46:00behave yourselves.

00:46:01Anyone who tries

00:46:02to be sneaky

00:46:02or lazy

00:46:03will be punished

00:46:04according to

00:46:04Palace rules.

00:46:06Yes, Ma'am.

00:46:11Your bullying

00:46:12of your colleague

00:46:13has not been

00:46:14settled yet.

00:46:14You are to

00:46:15clean toilet bowl

00:46:15as punishment.

00:46:16You may eat

00:46:17only when you finish.

00:46:18Yes, Ma'am.

00:46:40Oh, isn't this

00:46:41much better?

00:46:41Oh, isn't this

00:46:43much better?

00:46:45Your Majesty,

00:46:52Miss Caldwell

00:46:53has come to the

00:46:53Palace again today.

00:46:54Do you wish

00:46:54to see her?

00:46:55No.

00:46:55Tell her to go back

00:46:56where she came from.

00:46:58This...

00:46:59You.

00:47:00Go back.

00:47:01I'm going to see

00:47:02Avalyn.

00:47:02If you follow me,

00:47:03you'll expose

00:47:03my identity.

00:47:05Out of the way.

00:47:09Avalyn.

00:47:10Avalyn.

00:47:11Lucas.

00:47:16Why are you here?

00:47:19How can

00:47:20Madam Langston

00:47:21let you do

00:47:21this kind of work?

00:47:22I'll go speak

00:47:23with her.

00:47:24I'll go speak

00:47:25with her.

00:47:26Lucas.

00:47:28It's just

00:47:29cleaning a toilet bowl

00:47:30is not a big deal.

00:47:32Avalyn.

00:47:36I...

00:47:37I'm sorry

00:47:45you had to

00:47:45endure this.

00:47:46I promise

00:47:46I'll find a way

00:47:47to get you out

00:47:48of here

00:47:48as soon as possible.

00:47:50By the way,

00:47:51the Jade Pendant

00:47:52of yours,

00:47:53what's the story

00:47:54behind it?

00:47:54Why is it

00:47:55that they keep

00:47:56saying that the

00:47:56Pendant belongs

00:47:57to His Majesty?

00:47:59Uh, my father...

00:48:01My father once won

00:48:02first place

00:48:02in the Imperial exam

00:48:03to encourage

00:48:04outstanding scholars.

00:48:05His Majesty rewarded

00:48:06him with the

00:48:06Jade Pendant.

00:48:07This is how

00:48:07it came into

00:48:08our hands.

00:48:09Oh, I see.

00:48:10All they say

00:48:11is His Majesty,

00:48:12His Majesty.

00:48:12I thought maybe

00:48:13you were lying to me.

00:48:18Who's there?

00:48:22It's Madam Willems.

00:48:24Hurry up, go.

00:48:25Go let her see you.

00:48:25Tomorrow.

00:48:26I'll come to see you

00:48:27tomorrow again.

00:48:27Come on.

00:48:35Madams.

00:48:36All the toilet bowls

00:48:37have been cleaned.

00:48:38Cleaned already?

00:48:40Then go sweep

00:48:41the entire

00:48:42back courtyard.

00:48:46Yes, ma'am.

00:48:48Finally done

00:48:49with everything.

00:48:50Why are you throwing

00:49:03my things?

00:49:04Madam Williams

00:49:04gave orders herself.

00:49:06She said at first

00:49:06light tomorrow

00:49:07you're to deliver

00:49:08her medicine.

00:49:08Ma'am said

00:49:09the medicine

00:49:10must be boiled

00:49:11with morning dew.

00:49:12Tonight,

00:49:12you should wait

00:49:13outside.

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

00:49:21Williams always

00:49:22picking on me?

00:49:23Madam Williams

00:49:23already showed

00:49:24me mercy by

00:49:25not punishing

00:49:26for the theft

00:49:26last time.

00:49:27All she asked

00:49:27was for you

00:49:28to collect

00:49:28the morning dew.

00:49:29You should be grateful.

00:49:30The pendant

00:49:30wasn't stolen at all.

00:49:31Stop falsely

00:49:32accusing me.

00:49:33Not stolen?

00:49:33Are you saying

00:49:34His Majesty

00:49:34gave it to you

00:49:35himself?

00:49:45The night

00:49:45air is damned

00:49:46with dew.

00:49:47I'm going inside

00:49:47to get my own

00:49:48blanket.

00:49:48Is that not allowed?

00:49:49What arrogance?

00:49:51This is the

00:49:51Imperial Palace.

00:49:52There's no such

00:49:53thing as yours

00:49:53or mine.

00:49:54Don't think

00:49:54that's just

00:49:54because

00:49:54you can do

00:49:55whatever you

00:49:56want.

00:49:58Who said

00:49:59you could come

00:49:59in?

00:50:00Move aside.

00:50:08Avalyn.

00:50:11Avalyn.

00:50:12Are you

00:50:13all right?

00:50:14Who did

00:50:15this?

00:50:16Victor Langley,

00:50:17why is he

00:50:17here?

00:50:18could it

00:50:19could it be

00:50:19that he is

00:50:20you want

00:50:21to die?

00:50:23Your Majesty

00:50:24you're the

00:50:30Emperor.

00:50:32You're

00:50:33his

00:50:33majesty.

00:50:35Insolent

00:50:35servant.

00:50:39You must

00:50:40never let her

00:50:41discover your

00:50:42true identity.

00:50:42my deepest

00:50:53apologies

00:50:53your majesty.

00:50:54I merely saw

00:50:55someone injured

00:50:55and acted out

00:50:56of concern.

00:50:59Fortunately,

00:51:00it wasn't his

00:51:00majesty.

00:51:01But

00:51:02has

00:51:03Mr. Langley

00:51:03been by his

00:51:04majesty's side?

00:51:06Master Langley,

00:51:07what is going

00:51:08on here?

00:51:09Oh,

00:51:10this young

00:51:11guy in here,

00:51:12he makes a

00:51:12striking resemblance

00:51:13to his majesty.

00:51:14I specifically

00:51:14brought him to the

00:51:15palace to interrogate

00:51:16him.

00:51:17Uh-uh.

00:51:18Hey,

00:51:19you,

00:51:19the new one,

00:51:20how can you be so

00:51:20ignorant of the

00:51:21rules?

00:51:21Don't you

00:51:22know you should

00:51:22behave yourself here?

00:51:23I humbly

00:51:24apologize.

00:51:25I acknowledge

00:51:26my error.

00:51:27Madam Langston,

00:51:28I beg your

00:51:28pardon.

00:51:29It's entirely

00:51:29my fault for

00:51:30causing this

00:51:31young officer

00:51:31concern.

00:51:32If you

00:51:32understand your

00:51:33error,

00:51:33then leave

00:51:34at once.

00:51:44As for you...

00:51:48Fragenizing

00:51:49with the guards

00:51:49is a grave

00:51:50matter.

00:51:50Yet Madam

00:51:51Williams

00:51:51merely punished

00:51:52her with

00:51:54that incident

00:51:55was also

00:51:55swept under

00:51:56the rug.

00:51:58Tell me,

00:51:59knew she had

00:52:00stolen his

00:52:00jade pendant,

01:00:39who you are

01:00:47how could you

01:00:49possibly be

01:00:49the empress

01:00:50dowager

01:00:50How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?

01:00:58How is this possible?

01:01:00Her Majesty was merely testing you, but she never expected you to be so insolent.

01:01:05How dare you overstep and offend Her Majesty herself?

01:01:09Your Majesty, this humble subject admits her fault.

01:01:13I failed to recognize that you were the Empress Dowager.

01:01:15I beg Your Majesty for forgiveness. I beg the Emperor for mercy.

01:01:18I... the Emperor.

01:01:24This humble official believes this matter is of great importance.

01:01:27It concerns the dignity of the Empress Dowager.

01:01:29I implore Your Majesty to carefully consider the matter.

01:01:37Exactly. How could you dare to offend the Empress Dowager?

01:01:42Admit your fault at once!

01:01:43This humble subject admits my fault.

01:01:45Your Majesty, it was this wretched maid. She told me to seduce His Majesty.

01:01:52This is why I lost my composure.

01:01:54Lady Caldwell, it was clear to you!

01:01:56If 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.

01:02:05The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble.

01:02:10Take her away and sell her at once.

01:02:11Your Majesty, have mercy. I did not spread rumors.

01:02:14I saw Evelyn flirting with the guards.

01:02:16I truly did not spread rumors.

01:02:18Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty!

01:02:20You are the eldest daughter of the sturdy family!

01:02:22How dare you!

01:02:22Anna Caldwell, I always believed you to be a kind-hearted,

01:02:26yet I never expected you to be ruthless.

01:02:28You've overstepped your place 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, Your Majesty!

01:02:37This humble subject admits her fault!

01:02:38Your Majesty, please spare me!

01:02:40I do not want to go to the Office of Discipline!

01:02:43I have questions for you.

01:02:53Where is Her Majesty taking them?

01:02:55I 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,

01:03:44but 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?

01:03:53I don't know how to organize it.

01:03:55Don'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.

01:04:08All right.

01:04:08Get moving, all of you.

01:04:16If anyone dares to slack off, my whip shows no mercy.

01:04:20You useless 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.

01:04:37Evelyn Sterling, this is all your fault!

01:04:40The daughter of Chancellor Caldwell?

01:04:56In my past life, Adrienne 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 Adrienne to the Spring Blossom Banquet,

01:05:07I can surely turn things around.

01:05:10What a wretched place!

01:05:16They expect me, a lady, to wash my clothes myself?

01:05:21Where did this lonely 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 of noble birth.

01:05:33Were it not for this temporary misfortune,

01:05:36you 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 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!

01:06:09The 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.

01:06:27Your majesty!

01:06:39Your majesty!

01:06:40This humble subject has come to realize my mistakes.

01:06:43I beg you to spare me from this punishment.

01:06:46The Office of Discipline is a place I cannot enjoy even for a single day longer.

01:06:49As long as you're alive, at least this allows me to account for your well-being to your father.

01:06:54Enough!

01:06:55With your temperament, staying in the Office of Discipline would serve no purpose.

01:06:58Next month, you shall be the one to marry into Lior Empire.

01:07:02What?

01:07:03I married to Lai?

01:07:05What?

01:07:06Are you unwilling?

01:07:07Or would you prefer to continue staying in the Office of Discipline?

01:07:12No.

01:07:14This humble subject humbly obeys your majesty's decree.

01:07:18I shall depart for the marriage of Lai next month.

01:07:23However, I have an impertinent request.

01:07:26I was able to escape this calamity.

01:07:28Thanks to Josephine Sterling risking her life to save,

01:07:31I dare to ask that your majesty release Josephine Sterling from the Office of Discipline.

01:07:35I pay your respects to your majesty.

01:07:41I remember.

01:07:42Josephine is your sister.

01:07:44Tell me, how should I reward her?

01:07:52Empress Dowager, we were never close since childhood.

01:07:56Our bond is not strong.

01:07:57I don't get a say in this.

01:08:01Since you have agreed to the marriage alliance, then so be it.

01:08:04Let's go back.

01:08:05Thank you for your grace.

01:08:09Thank you for your grace.

01:08:18Evelyn Sterling.

01:08:20I thought you had sword height already.

01:08:24Turns out, you're still that low.

01:08:26You've ruined our parents and montags.

01:08:29And also got me thrown into the Office of Discipline.

01:08:32About that,

01:08:34I will make sure you pay it.

01:08:46Edmund, let me out, please.

01:08:49This is driving me crazy.

01:08:51You don't get to complain.

01:08:57If it weren't for you and Josephine, two fools,

01:09:00I wouldn't have offended his majesty and lost my position.

01:09:04It's all Josephine's fault.

01:09:08Husband!

01:09:09Why are you back?

01:09:10The Empress Dowager pardoned me.

01:09:15I'm released from Office of Discipline.

01:09:17After everything you put us through,

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,

01:09:27we should think how to get back at her.

01:09:30Get back at her?

01:09:32She's like royalty now.

01:09:34How to get back at her, huh?

01:09:36I saw her once at the Office of Discipline.

01:09:39She was wearing the Lonely Palace Mace uniform.

01:09:43I don't think she's royal.

01:09:45A palace maid?

01:09:47Could it be that His Majesty married her on a whim?

01:09:50Totally.

01:09:51If His Majesty really liked her,

01:09:53why would she be wearing that uniform?

01:09:55Spring Blossom Banquet is coming.

01:09:58All the nobles will be present then.

01:10:01It's the perfect opportunity.

01:10:03Spring Blossom Banquet.

01:10:05We're invited too.

01:10:07So I can go then?

01:10:09What are you scheming this time?

01:10:15Don't worry.

01:10:17At the banquet,

01:10:18I'll impress everyone.

01:10:20As long as I win the Empress Dowager's favor,

01:10:22our family will rise again.

01:10:24It's going to be all nobles and high officials.

01:10:36Check everything thoroughly.

01:10:49We cannot afford to do any mistakes.

01:10:54Oh, stop worrying.

01:10:56We've confirmed every detail multiple times already.

01:10:58There won't be any problems.

01:11:00Let's hope so.

01:11:01Aveline.

01:11:04Aveline.

01:11:13Aveline.

01:11:14If you like these pastries,

01:11:15I can get you more.

01:11:16Glad this is a remote area with no patrols.

01:11:25Otherwise,

01:11:26I can't meet like this.

01:11:27Aveline.

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.

01:11:45Husband.

01:11:54Look over there.

01:11:59Aveline.

01:12:00And a palace guard.

01:12:05All 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.

01:12:19Hey.

01:12:20You really can't go a moment without a man.

01:12:23Just got tossed aside by his majesty

01:12:26and now,

01:12:27you're ready with the guard.

01:12:38This is the Imperial Palace.

01:12:40Not your place, all right?

01:12:41Everything you do here is washed by his majesty in the Empress Gouger.

01:12:45They were just released.

01:12:46Have you learned your lesson?

01:12:48My husband and I were invited here

01:12:51as honored guests for the banquet.

01:12:53You're nothing but a maid.

01:12:55If you serve us well,

01:12:57I may reward you.

01:12:59If not,

01:13:00you'll get kicked out.

01:13:01You were lucky to have got away last time.

01:13:06No one can protect you this time.

01:13:10What do you mean?

01:13:10I want to destroy you.

01:13:14I want to destroy you.

01:13:14From head to toe.

01:13:17Greetings, Empress Gouger.

01:13:18Greetings, Empress Gouger.

01:13:30Evelyn.

01:13:32Preparing the banquet must be exhausting.

01:13:34Once it is over,

01:13:35I will reward you properly.

01:13:38It's just my duty.

01:13:39Thanks for your grace.

01:13:40Your Highness,

01:13:43I have something to say.

01:13:44Speak.

01:13:46I wish to report

01:13:47Evelyn's improper relationship with the guard.

01:13:52Oh?

01:13:53I 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 and broad daylight,

01:14:02who knows what they do in secret?

01:14:04Your Highness,

01:14:06I did have a contact with a guard.

01:14:09But before entering the palace,

01:14:11we already had developed feelings.

01:14:12In the palace,

01:14:13we only met occasionally.

01:14:15There was nothing improper.

01:14:17If 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 by death.

01:14:25Your Highness,

01:14:27I insist on seeing him.

01:14:28If this matter deserves punishment,

01:14:31please spare the guard's life.

01:14:33Since neither of you are 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 to execute the guard?

01:14:51You two want me to execute the guard?

01:14:56In the palace,

01:14:57it is indeed forbidden

01:14:58for palace maids and guards to mingle.

01:15:00But 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 from punishment.

01:15:09Bye!

01:15:09Evelyn,

01:15:10lead me to the banquet site.

01:15:12Yes.

01:15:13Farewell,

01:15:26Your Highness.

01:15:28She escaped again.

01:15:30Why is she always so lucky?

01:15:32First the Emperor protected her,

01:15:34and now the Empress dowager.

01:15:35Even she was entrusted

01:15:36with the whole banquet?

01:15:37Since she's in charge

01:15:39of the banquet,

01:15:40we can just...

01:15:46Your 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 where we were before.

01:16:01What?

01:16:04Eunuch Langley.

01:16:06Come here.

01:16:08Sir,

01:16:08get back.

01:16:15What's going on?

01:16:16You've done a great job this 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.

01:16:25Someone is waiting for you

01:16:26in 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 in Sedan, sir.

01:16:39Lord Montague took the blow

01:16:40for Her Majesty

01:16:41and the assassin escaped.

01:16:42What?

01:16:44Take her away.

01:16:46What are you doing?

01:16:47There is an assassin.

01:16:49We are arresting Evelyn

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

01:17:02graced the Prime Minister.

01:17:04So,

01:17:05she's the one

01:17:06who harmed Anna.

01:17:07Chancellor Caldwell.

01:17:09She was in charge

01:17:09of the palace banquet.

01:17:11How dare you?

01:17:12How dare you

01:17:13plan assassination

01:17:14against the Empress dowager?

01:17:16Are you rebelling?

01:17:18I'm not.

01:17:19I personally verified

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 meeting

01:17:27with the guard.

01:17:28You were so affectionate

01:17:29that you just ignore

01:17:30everything around you.

01:17:32What?

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.

01:17:38Somewhat.

01:17:39Bring that guard here.

01:17:40I will get to the bottom

01:17:41of this.

01:17:42Why hasn't Evelyn

01:17:45come yet?

01:18:01Lucas.

01:18:02Sir,

01:18:03here's the guard.

01:18:04Are you alright?

01:18:05Lucas?

01:18:05Evelyn Sterling,

01:18:09how do you plead?

01:18:10Please investigate Sterling.

01:18:12Since there's 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

01:18:19could never get in.

01:18:20Evelyn must have

01:18:21secretly colluded

01:18:22with 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 Catmull,

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 cover the truth

01:18:34behind this matter.

01:18:35Enough.

01:18:36Made Evelyn Sterling

01:18:37colluded with the guard,

01:18:39disrupted palace order,

01:18:40and put the Empress

01:18:41Starwager in danger.

01:18:42Both of them

01:18:43are to be executed

01:18:44immediately.

01:18:52No.

01:18:53Chesler,

01:18:54we broke over water.

01:18:55Chesler,

01:18:55I beg 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.

01:19:25Stop now.

01:19:26Don't you dare touch her.

01:19:29Your Majesty.

01:19:32Long 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

01:19:48outrageous.

01:19:55You keep going against

01:19:57Evelyn every turn.

01:19:58Today,

01:19:58if I weren't here,

01:20:00you would have

01:20:00gotten your way.

01:20:01Your majesty,

01:20:02I didn't mean to hurt

01:20:04my sister.

01:20:05Your majesty,

01:20:06Evelyn was in charge

01:20:07of the banquet,

01:20:07but she allowed

01:20:08assassins in to hurt

01:20:09the Empress Starwager.

01:20:10I beg you,

01:20:11your majesty,

01:20:12issue an order at once

01:20:13to imprison her

01:20:13for further interrogation.

01:20:15Chesler,

01:20:15go was right.

01:20:16If it weren't for

01:20:17my husband's presence today,

01:20:18the Empress Starwager

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.

01:20:23If this happens again,

01:20:33who will protect the palace?

01:20:37Police.

01:20:38You must punish Evelyn.

01:20:40Adrian Montague,

01:20:41are you making decisions for me?

01:20:43The Empress Starwager

01:20:44has been traumatized today.

01:20:45If your majesty

01:20:46doesn't punish Evelyn,

01:20:47what if others follow her example?

01:20:49The consequences

01:20:50would 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?

01:21:13Impossible.

01:21:15Nicholas,

01:21:16I'm asking you!
