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!

00:00:28Sister...

00:00:41What?!

00:00:42Don't kill 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 Adrian Montay caught my bridal bow three years ago

00:00:55A slow recovery is nothing but an illusion.

00:01:03If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.

00:01:25Master, 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.

00:01:49Have 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.

00:02:01Sister, please let me go first.

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

00:02:10Feigning modesty and humility.

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

00:02:19Lady Josephine, this way!

00:02:22Give it to me!

00:02:23Lady 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, Adrian 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 gonna 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.

00:03:36That is...

00:03:42That...

00:03:43Your Majesty!

00:03:45Your Majesty!

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

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

00:03:53I can only leave the palace for some peace.

00:03:56This is a perfect chance to experience the life of ordinary folk.

00:04:00Hurry, you starlings are just the bridal ball for marriage.

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.

00:04:21Evelyn, now it's your turn.

00:04:23And you better aim as close as Josephine.

00:04:26Mother, 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.

00:04:41Powerful or not, rich or not, it's only written on water.

00:04:46In this life, I seek only a true companion to live a peaceful life till the end.

00:04:51It's him.

00:05:06It's him.

00:05:07The beggar that Josephine ran away from.

00:05:10Oh no, it actually went to a beggar.

00:05:16Sister, 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?

00:05:31What'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?

00:05:58Hey, hey, hey, seize her!

00:06:04Don't let her escape!

00:06:05Master, how did this bridal bull end up in your hands?

00:06:08What should we do now?

00:06:09Let's discard it!

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 bull yourself!

00:06:22You damn girl!

00:06:23Look at the filthy beggar you've got!

00:06:26If he becomes my son-in-law, it's going to be a huge disgrace to us!

00:06:33In my past life, I was mistreated by the Montagues and used for Sterling's ambitions.

00:06:39Thinking back now, perhaps marrying a beggar would be a better fate.

00:06:43The rule of the bridal bull is binding.

00:06:46Since he caught the bull, you should...

00:06:48I am willing to marry him!

00:06:50My name is Evelyn Sterling.

00:07:01What's yours?

00:07:03I am Luke...

00:07:05Lucas Prescott.

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

00:07:14I, Evelyn Sterling,

00:07:16willing to take Lucas Prescott as my husband.

00:07:19Are you serious?

00:07:27Yeah.

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

00:07:31You want to...

00:07:32reject me?

00:07:34I didn't.

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

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

00:07:48We 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

00:08:05and your future is ruined!

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

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

00:08:11Lucas,

00:08:12Lucas,

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

00:08:15but I can see his humility

00:08:16and good manner.

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

00:08:20You are...

00:08:21Rule is rule.

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

00:08:25are you, sir?

00:08:25Indeed.

00:08:26If he refuses,

00:08:27that'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.

00:08:51Sister,

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.

00:09:04Life with the Monticeous

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

00:09:08Hmph!

00:09:15You!

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.

00:09:31Today,

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

00:09:40laid with precious gems,

00:09:42plenty of boats

00:09:43of fine brocade,

00:09:44three land deeds

00:09:45for silk shops

00:09:46in the Eastern District.

00:09:47Lady Josephine Sterling's

00:09:48salary is worth a fortune,

00:09:50yet Lady Evelyn Sterling

00:09:51has nothing at all.

00:09:52They're both daughters

00:09:53of the Sarlene family,

00:09:54but the difference

00:09:54between them is astonishing.

00:09:56Sister,

00:09:57after marrying a beggar,

00:09:58you will likely toil

00:09:59for the rest of your life.

00:10:00I wonder if you can

00:10:01even endure such life.

00:10:11It's the bridegroom.

00:10:12The bridegroom has arrived.

00:10:15Oh,

00:10:16as expected of the second son

00:10:18of the Montague family,

00:10:19the spectacle is grand indeed.

00:10:21Of course,

00:10:21the Montagues hold 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 be

00:10:30an interesting sight to 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

00:10:44it was an honor

00:10:45to the Sterling family.

00:10:50Sister,

00:10:51the auspicious hour

00:10:52is nearly over.

00:10:53Why has your husband

00:10:53not come for you?

00:10:55Could it be that

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

00:11:04I,

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

00:11:05greet my honored

00:11:06father-in-law.

00:11:07My lady.

00:11:17My lady.

00:11:18Are you here 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?

00:11:30In front of so many

00:11:31esteemed officials,

00:11:32are you not bringing

00:11:33shame upon me?

00:11:34Today is your wedding day,

00:11:36and yet you came

00:11:37dressed like this?

00:11:38Do you not find

00:11:39this is a disgrace?

00:11:40Do you not finding

00:11:41this humiliating?

00:11:42Marriage is a lifelong

00:11:43commitment,

00:11:44building upon sincerity,

00:11:45not mere appearances.

00:11:46The man I,

00:11:47Evelyn Sterling,

00:11:48have chosen

00:11:48is not one whose worth

00:11:50can be swayed

00:11:50by idle words.

00:11:51Have you not

00:11:52embarrassed us enough?

00:11:54Master,

00:11:55do not be angered.

00:11:57From the moment

00:11:57Evelyn steps beyond

00:11:59this threshold,

00:12:00she'll no longer

00:12:01be a Sterling.

00:12:02The auspicious hour

00:12:03has arrived.

00:12:04Bring the bride

00:12:05to the carriage!

00:12:13This is the...

00:12:14Congratulations,

00:12:18Master Sterling.

00:12:19Your son-in-law

00:12:20is truly an

00:12:20exceptional man.

00:12:21Many 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.

00:12:42My lady,

00:12:47please,

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

00:12:49bow to the heavens

00:13:09and the earth.

00:13:11Is this the place

00:13:12you've found us to live in?

00:13:13A shabby place like this?

00:13:21Is it even fit for living?

00:13:22I just didn't want you

00:13:24to blow your cover.

00:13:25And bow to each other

00:13:27as husband and wife.

00:13:28The 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,

00:13:55he'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.

00:14:01This shade 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.

00:14:14It's so precious.

00:14:16Are you certain of it?

00:14:19All right.

00:14:21I will cherish it well.

00:14:48You're up!

00:14:48Breakfast is ready

00:14:50for you.

00:14:54Hi.

00:14:55Where are you going?

00:14:57Today is the wife's

00:14:58homecoming day.

00:14:59I made telemeds

00:15:00for my parents,

00:15:01but they're not quite finished.

00:15:02I need to buy

00:15:02some more threads

00:15:03and complete them

00:15:04before I return home.

00:15:05All right.

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

00:15:07All right.

00:15:09Let's go.

00:15:14Greetings,

00:15:15your ma-

00:15:15Greetings,

00:15:15your majesty!

00:15:16Greetings, your majesty!

00:15:21Greetings, your majesty!

00:15:24Who 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.

00:15:32They are...

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

00:15:37Yes, yes.

00:15:42I used to serve in 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 all right

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 your Evelyn.

00:16:16Let's head back.

00:16:17Yes, your majesty.

00:16:18Get someone

00:16:19to deliver some valuable gifts

00:16:20to Sterling Estate.

00:16:22Say that they're

00:16:23Evelyn's homecoming gifts.

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 returned alone?

00:16:39Today is your homecoming day.

00:16:42Sister,

00:16:42why have you returned alone?

00:16:44Are you ashamed

00:16:45of your beggar husband?

00:16:47So you didn't even

00:16:48bring him to meet the family.

00:16:49My husband wanted to come,

00:16:51but something urgent 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 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, sister,

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, Adrienne.

00:17:19Went drinking with

00:17:20corsets on our wedding night

00:17:22and now everyone knows

00:17:23we are utterly humiliating me.

00:17:25Just the feed.

00:17:30Father, mother.

00:17:32Greetings to you both.

00:17:34Greetings to you both.

00:17:36You've returned alone.

00:17:37How can you still have

00:17:38the face to come back?

00:17:39What does your husband

00:17:40do all day?

00:17:41Not even accompanying you

00:17:43for your homecoming.

00:17:44Mother,

00:17:45you're thinking too highly

00:17:46of 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.

00:17:58Our 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

00:18:14who chose a beggar

00:18:15as her husband,

00:18:16our sterling family

00:18:17has raised you

00:18:18for so many years

00:18:19and yet you come back

00:18:20empty-handed

00:18:21on your homecoming day.

00:18:23Indeed, sister.

00:18:25This is my homecoming gift.

00:18:27Have you fallen

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.

00:18:49Get 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

00:18:57of cloth

00:18:57with embroidery.

00:18:59How dare you

00:18:59present these?

00:19:01Well,

00:19:01she did marry a beggar.

00:19:03So her gift

00:19:03befits her status perfectly.

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

00:19:07Oh, right.

00:19:08She has married a beggar.

00:19:10What else

00:19:10could we expect

00:19:11from her?

00:19:12Ha ha ha ha ha!

00:19:13Ha ha ha ha ha!

00:19:15Ha ha ha ha ha!

00:19:18Master!

00:19:18Madam!

00:19:19Someone from the palace

00:19:20has arrived with gifts.

00:19:21They say they are

00:19:21the homecoming gifts

00:19:22from Lady Eflin.

00:19:27Master Sterling!

00:19:28Who exactly

00:19:28has your

00:19:29eldest daughter

00:19:30married a mountain

00:19:30nobility?

00:19:31Even the palace

00:19:31saw fit to have me

00:19:32personally delivered

00:19:33gifts to you.

00:19:34You must hold

00:19:34great influence indeed.

00:19:36These from the palace?

00:19:37Then it must be

00:19:38from his majesty himself.

00:19:39It was personally

00:19:40arranged by the

00:19:40chief eunuch

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

00:19:42He said...

00:19:43for the Sterling

00:19:44family's...

00:19:45eldest daughter.

00:19:49Oh,

00:19:49Mr. Ashford,

00:19:52you must be

00:19:53mistaken.

00:19:54All of Highgate

00:19:55knows

00:19:55that Evelyn

00:19:56married a beggar.

00:19:58How could she

00:19:59possibly have

00:20:00ties to anyone

00:20:01in the palace?

00:20:02Oh,

00:20:03this must

00:20:04surely be

00:20:05a courtesy

00:20:05to young

00:20:07Master Montague.

00:20:08Ha ha ha ha!

00:20:10Indeed.

00:20:11In this world,

00:20:12those seeking

00:20:13favor with

00:20:13the Montague

00:20:14family are

00:20:15countless.

00:20:15Even those

00:20:16in the palace

00:20:16are paying

00:20:17their respects.

00:20:18Father-in-law,

00:20:19please accept

00:20:19with joy.

00:20:20Ha ha ha ha!

00:20:22Josephine has

00:20:23married a

00:20:23remarkable husband.

00:20:25Just look at

00:20:25the grandeur

00:20:26of her homecoming.

00:20:27Such lavish gifts!

00:20:29Our Sterling

00:20:29family is truly

00:20:30honored beyond

00:20:31measure!

00:20:32Ha ha ha!

00:20:33The gifts

00:20:34have been delivered.

00:20:35I shall take

00:20:36my leave.

00:20:37Oh,

00:20:37take care!

00:20:38Take care!

00:20:41Sister,

00:20:42my husband

00:20:43has prepared

00:20:43two sets

00:20:44of homecoming

00:20:44gifts.

00:20:45Seeing all

00:20:46these,

00:20:46do you not

00:20:47feel ashamed?

00:20:48It's not about

00:20:49the quality of

00:20:50gifts,

00:20:50but the sincerity

00:20:50behind them.

00:20:51I see nothing

00:20:52inappropriate in

00:20:53this.

00:20:54I've poured

00:20:54my heart

00:20:55and effort

00:20:55into raising

00:20:56you,

00:20:56and yet,

00:20:56not only

00:20:57did you marry

00:20:57a beggar,

00:20:58but you even

00:20:58bring back

00:20:59these worthless

00:20:59rags to

00:21:00disgrace me!

00:21:01The Sterling

00:21:01family has

00:21:02no place

00:21:02for such

00:21:03a disgraceful

00:21:03daughter!

00:21:05Simply

00:21:05because I

00:21:05married Lucas,

00:21:07you feel

00:21:07justified to

00:21:08humiliate me

00:21:09like this!

00:21:09Josephine

00:21:10acts in the

00:21:10best interest

00:21:11of the

00:21:11Sterling

00:21:11family,

00:21:12unlike you

00:21:12who married

00:21:13a beggar

00:21:14bringing

00:21:14disgrace

00:21:15upon us

00:21:15all!

00:21:17Disgrace?

00:21:19It's only

00:21:19because Josephine

00:21:20married into

00:21:21wealth

00:21:21that you

00:21:22so readily

00:21:23indulge her.

00:21:24Insolent,

00:21:24child!

00:21:25Such outrageous

00:21:26defiance!

00:21:26Who has put

00:21:27these ideas

00:21:28in your head?

00:21:28Is it not

00:21:29the truth?

00:21:31In your eyes,

00:21:33a daughter is

00:21:34nothing more

00:21:34than a pawn

00:21:35to secure

00:21:35power and

00:21:36favor!

00:21:37Outrageous!

00:21:38How dare

00:21:39you speak

00:21:40to your

00:21:40father in

00:21:41such a

00:21:41manner!

00:21:45A dragon

00:21:46jade pendant?

00:21:49Outrageous!

00:21:51And now,

00:21:52I must

00:21:52inform

00:21:52his majesty.

00:21:55Give it

00:21:56back to me!

00:21:57This jade

00:21:58pendant looks

00:21:59of fine

00:22:00quality.

00:22:01From where

00:22:01did you steal

00:22:02it, sister?

00:22:03That is

00:22:04from Lucas.

00:22:05Give it

00:22:05back!

00:22:08That

00:22:08wretched

00:22:08beggar?

00:22:09He will

00:22:10never

00:22:10possess

00:22:11such a

00:22:11fine

00:22:12pendant.

00:22:12He must

00:22:13have

00:22:13stolen

00:22:13it

00:22:14from

00:22:14somewhere.

00:22:15Would

00:22:15right have

00:22:15you to

00:22:16make

00:22:16such

00:22:16rash

00:22:16accusations?

00:22:17Lucas may

00:22:18not be

00:22:18of noble

00:22:18birth like

00:22:19you,

00:22:19but you

00:22:21is

00:22:21a

00:22:21rightful

00:22:21due.

00:22:22Yet

00:22:22Lucas is

00:22:22not

00:22:22worthy

00:22:23of the

00:22:23same.

00:22:23A

00:22:24worthless

00:36:11go

00:36:12How touching. Even at a time like this. You still have time to flirt with this filthy beggar?

00:36:19Since you're feeling wrong so deep, I might as well send you both to death together.

00:36:26What are you waiting for?

00:36:28Die!

00:36:29I will watch out!

00:36:32The Emperor Stowager has arrived!

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

00:36:40He really is the Emperor?

00:36:42He... He really Samper?

00:36:47Evelyn! Evelyn!

00:36:48Imperial Physician! Call the Imperial Physician quickly!

00:36:51Your Majesty!

00:36:52Victor Langley, I ordered her to immediately send her back for treatment.

00:36:56If anything happens to her, I'll make sure you pay.

00:36:58You're a servitor, base! Come, come, come!

00:37:00Hurry!

00:37:03Your Majesty, all members of the Starlink family have been arrested.

00:37:07Your Majesty?

00:37:08Your... Your Majesty?

00:37:09What do you call him?

00:37:13Your Majesty!

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

00:37:15Pass down my decree.

00:37:17Sebastian Serding and his family are executed on the spot.

00:37:21Master!

00:37:23Madam! Madam!

00:37:24Adam and Montague, as an official of the court, you abused your power and aided evil from this day forth.

00:37:30You are stripped of your duty, imprisoned along the Montague in the Judicial Court.

00:37:34Spare me, Your Majesty. Spare me.

00:37:36Please spare me, Your Majesty!

00:37:38Thank You, Your Majesty, to revoke the order!

00:37:41It was my fault!

00:37:43I failed to see the truth, Your Majesty!

00:37:47When you humiliated Evelyn back then, did you ever think this day would come?

00:37:53Impossible!

00:37:54Given a second chance to life, how can I still make the wrong choice?

00:37:58Empress Dowager, I did commit a grave offense, but it was all under the orders of the Strangley family.

00:38:02Empress Dowager, please, for the sake of my father's honor, spare me once!

00:38:06I beg Your Majesty and Empress Dowager for mercy!

00:38:09Please have mercy, Empress Dowager!

00:38:10My son, although the two unfilial sons of the Montague family are foolish, they were not the masterminds.

00:38:19They should be punished later.

00:38:20The Sterling family is a household of commoners.

00:38:23To execute them all is indeed lacking consideration for the women.

00:38:27I saw that woman was badly injured, my son.

00:38:30You should go tend to her quickly.

00:38:37Huh!

00:38:40Lucas, are you alright?

00:38:51Are you alright?

00:38:52Did you get hurt?

00:38:53I'm fine.

00:38:54Lie down quickly.

00:38:54The Imperial's physician said you have to lie down.

00:38:57Come on!

00:38:58Imperial 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 who saved us.

00:39:10The Empress Dowager?

00:39:13You want to make Evelyn Sterling your Empress?

00:39:16I absolutely do not approve!

00:39:18I pledge myself to Evelyn for life in private.

00:39:22Whether you approve or not, I will overcome all obstacles to make Evelyn my Empress.

00:39:26You!

00:39:29If you truly wish to make her Empress, she must pass my test.

00:39:34But...

00:39:34But, before that, you must not let her know your identity.

00:39:42Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to stop you.

00:39:46She left the palace to pray.

00:39:50Just happened to walk by the Sterling State.

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

00:39:55Then...

00:39:56What about my father and the others?

00:39:59The Empress Dowager gave the order to have them all beaten 50 strikes each.

00:40:03Adrian Montague frequented the pleasure districts.

00:40:05His body couldn't take it and he fainted.

00:40:07The Empress Dowager ordered him to be put in confinement.

00:40:09And your sister was also sent to the Office of Discipline to do hard labor.

00:40:13And for your father and the others, they were exiled.

00:40:16Exiled?

00:40:19Evelyn.

00:40:21From now on, I will protect you.

00:40:25I asked the Empress Dowager for a position.

00:40:27And assigned you to the Imperial Household Bureau.

00:40:30From now on, the two of us will be working in the palace.

00:40:35That's wonderful.

00:40:36When the time comes, we may work in the palace for three to five years.

00:40:40Then we can leave together.

00:40:42And live a simple life.

00:40:43Okay.

00:40:46Evelyn.

00:40:51I hope you can forgive me.

00:40:58Evelyn.

00:40:59When I have some free time, I'll come to see you.

00:41:02All right.

00:41:02Greetings, ma'am Langston.

00:41:24Greetings, ma'am Langston.

00:41:28This one here is a newly arrived maid, Evelyn Sterling.

00:41:33In the days to come, please take good care of her, ma'am Langston.

00:41:37Rest assured, I will take good care of Miss Evelyn.

00:41:40I definitely won't let her do heavy work.

00:41:43Lucas.

00:41:44I came here to work, right?

00:41:51Why does it feel like I'm being treated like a mistress?

00:41:54She...

00:41:55Maybe she's a nice person.

00:42:08Miss Evelyn.

00:42:09Please come with me.

00:42:12Go ahead.

00:42:13Go ahead.

00:42:13You, clean all of these thoroughly.

00:42:30You and I both work at the Imperial Household Bureau.

00:42:32The tasks are assigned in advance.

00:42:34Why should I be the one to do your work?

00:42:36You've got the nerves to ask?

00:42:37It's because of you that I ended up cleaning the toilet bowl.

00:42:40Some people must have used certain means to land a post here.

00:42:43And somehow even earn ma'am Langston's favor.

00:42:45She got all the Yeez's work assigned to you.

00:42:47Give it back to me.

00:43:08The Dragon Jade Pendant?

00:43:09There's something only His Majesty can wear.

00:43:11Hurry in and inform Madam Langston.

00:43:12Someone is stealing.

00:43:14Your Majesty.

00:43:15Give it back to me.

00:43:16Right now.

00:43:17What are you waiting for?

00:43:32Grab her!

00:43:34Everyone, 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.

00:43:47It might harm your noble health.

00:43:49Allow me to announce your arrival.

00:43:51No need.

00:43:52This time, I am disguised as a Bureau Matron.

00:43:54Because I want to truly know Evelyn Sterling.

00:43:58She must never learn of my identity.

00:44:00Palace rules are strict.

00:44:11I was only gone for a little while.

00:44:12And you dare behave so wildly.

00:44:14What do you take the Imperial Household Bureau for?

00:44:16Ma'am, she stole His Majesty's Jade Pendant.

00:44:21The one thing most forbidden in the harm is thee.

00:44:23She feared being exposed and even tried to harm me.

00:44:26Ma'am, you must punish her properly.

00:44:28Ma'am, Langston, please let me explain.

00:44:32This isn't what happened.

00:44:33Enough.

00:44:34Hand over the Jade Pendant.

00:44:39The pendant belongs to me.

00:44:41I said, hand over the Jade Pendant.

00:45:00The Dragon Jade Pendant.

00:45:02It truly belongs to His Majesty.

00:45:04The Dragon Jade Pendant.

00:45:06It truly belongs to His Majesty.

00:45:08The Emperor even gave her something this important?

00:45:11She even dares to steal His Majesty's Pendant.

00:45:14In the future, who knows what outrageous things she might do?

00:45:17Palace rules are very clear.

00:45:19Anyone caught stealing goods worth more than one dollar will have their left foot cut off and be branded.

00:45:24Ma'am, please listen to my explanation.

00:45:27This pendant was given to me by someone very dear to me.

00:45:30It was definitely not stolen.

00:45:31I truly don't know how I could belong to His Majesty.

00:45:34We confirm the pendant belongs to my son.

00:45:37Wouldn'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.

00:46:18Yes, Ma'am.

00:46:40Oh, isn't this much better?

00:46:48Your Majesty, Miss Caldwell has come to the palace again today.

00:46:54Do you wish to see her?

00:46:55No.

00:46:56Tell 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 Avalyn.

00:47:02If you follow me, you'll expose my identity.

00:47:05Out of the way.

00:47:09Avalyn.

00:47:10Avalyn.

00:47:11Lucas.

00:47:16Why are you here?

00:47:17How can Madam Langston let you do this kind of work?

00:47:22I'll go speak with her.

00:47:24I'll go speak with her.

00:47:26Lucas.

00:47:28It's just cleaning a toilet bowl is not a big deal.

00:47:32Avalyn.

00:47:32I'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?

00:47:58Uh, my father. My 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. All 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 Madame Willems. Hurry up, go. Go let her see you.

00:48:25Tomorrow. I'll come to see you tomorrow again.

00:48:28Madams, all the toilet bowls have been cleaned.

00:48:38Cleaned already?

00:48:40Then go sweep the entire back courtyard.

00:48:46Yes, ma'am.

00:48:48I'm finally done with everything.

00:48:58Why are you throwing my things?

00:49:04Madame Willems gave orders herself.

00:49:06She 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.

00:49:18Everyone heard it.

00:49:19I'm not making it up.

00:49:20Why is Madame Willems always picking on me?

00:49:23Madame Willems already showed me mercy by.

00:49:25Not punishing for the theft last time.

00:49:27All she asked was for you to collect the morning dew.

00:49:29You should be grateful.

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

00:49:31Stop falsely accusing me.

00:49:33Not 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 Madame lost 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.

00:50:56Unfortunately, it wasn't his majesty.

00:51:01But...

00:51:02Hasn't Master Langley been by his majesty's side?

00:51:05Master Langley.

00:51:07What is going on here?

00:51:09Oh.

00:51:10This young guy in here.

00:51:12He 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!

00:53:02Madam, have mercy!

00:53:04Madam!

00:53:06Madam!

00:53:06May I be permitted to try to try?

00:53:11You?

00:53:14You?

00:53:15I've studied medical texts, and I can prepare herbal remedy that might alleviate the rash on your face.

00:53:24If...

00:53:24If my myths 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 the Imperial Household Bureau.

00:53:49Tell me who could be in the Imperial Household Bureau to capture his majesty's interest so deeply.

00:53:55I don't know!

00:53:56I know nothing!

00:53:58Speak!

00:53:58I 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.

00:55:11Why would I still-

00:55:12So you're willing to forgive me?

00:55:27You're not entirely a bad person.

00:55:30It's just that your words can be utterly vicious.

00:55:34Let's go

00:55:42Her Majesty

00:55:47I believe that His Majesty's insistence on making Lady Evelyn the Empress

00:55:52Does not seem like a mere impulse

00:55:54Lady Evelyn truly possesses remarkable qualities

00:55:58Let's see her chestnut cake

00:56:01It was her

00:56:03It was you who seduced His Majesty

00:56:14With us stuck the face of yours

00:56:19No wonder you can't stay out of trouble

00:56:20His Majesty's finding a bride outside the palace

00:56:23But when did your lowly servants

00:56:26Dare to entertain such wicked thoughts

00:56:28When did Evelyn ever seduce His Majesty

00:56:30Isabella have you forgotten how much we suffered because of her

00:56:33Evelyn never once provoked me intentionally

00:56:35It was you who kept taking fights deliberately

00:56:38Isabella

00:56:39Do you even know who I am?

00:56:43How dare you act so insolently in my presence?

00:56:46Susan

00:56:47Wait

00:56:51The person standing before you is Lady Caldwell

00:56:54Daughter of Chancellor Caldwell

00:56:55She's the one the Empress Dodgerager has chosen to be Empress

00:56:58What a fool

00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell is the esteemed daughter of the Chancellor

00:57:02Surely you are a reasonable person

00:57:03We have never even met His Majesty

00:57:05So how could there be any talk of seduction?

00:57:07I beg you Lady Caldwell, spare me

00:57:09I heard from Eleanor that you not only seduced His Majesty

00:57:13But also entangled yourself with the guards

00:57:15That face of yours is too dangerous to keep

00:57:18Stop!

00:57:34Stop!

00:57:34The 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

00:57:51You!

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

00:58:12You'll never learn your place

00:58:13Restrainer as well

00:58:16Eleanor, you wouldn't dare

00:58:18I never expected you to be so venomous at heart

00:58:25Her Majesty truly misjudged you

00:58:28Huh!

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

00:58:40Dare 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

00:58:50Can only be servants in the palace

00:58:51To defy your superiors

00:58:53It's to seek death

00:58:54You, Lady Catwell

00:58:55The inner court is under the jurisdiction

00:58:57Of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager

00:58:59To deal with the palace servants privately

00:59:00Is likely against the rules

00:59:02I beg you to show mercy

00:59:03As the head of the Imperial House of Hero

00:59:05You have allowed your mage to reduce His Majesty

00:59:07Such behavior is a dangerous example

00:59:09This is unforgivable

00:59:10Fetch my way!

00:59:17The Spring Blossom banquet will be held at the beginning of next month

00:59:20This year all the nobles and dignitaries will be in attendance

00:59:22Everything must be prepared perfectly

00:59:24Your Majesty, rest assured

00:59:26I will spare no effort in ensuring its success

00:59:29You insolent servant

00:59:32How dare you disturb His Majesty

00:59:34His Majesty?

00:59:37This humble maid greets Your Majesty

00:59:38A beg your Majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling

00:59:41What did you say?

00:59:42Evelyn's in danger

00:59:43His Majesty?

00:59:50This humble maid greets Your Majesty

00:59:52A beg your Majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling

00:59:53What did you say?

00:59:55Evelyn's in danger

00:59:57What are you doing?

01:00:09It was me who offended Lady Cabell

01:00:12And I got wished for him to suffer punishment on my account

01:00:15Since you're so eager to play the hero

01:00:19I shall grant your wish today

01:00:20Enough!

01:00:22Anna Caldwell

01:00:23Her Majesty advises you not to go too far

01:00:25Otherwise

01:00:26You called yourself Her Majesty again?

01:00:28You reckless wretch

01:00:29Today I shall teach you the rules on behalf of the Empress Dowager

01:00:32Anna Caldwell

01:00:32Do you know who you are about to whip?

01:00:38Your Majesty

01:00:38Agree to Empress Dowager

01:00:42Agree to Empress Dowager

01:00:45How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?

01:00:55How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?

01:00:57How is this possible?

01:00:58Her Majesty was merely testing you but she never expected you to be so insolent

01:01:04How dare you overstep and offend her Majesty herself?

01:01:08Your Majesty

01:01:10This humble subject commits her fault

01:01:12I 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

01:01:18The Emperor

01:01:20This humble official believes this matters are of great importance

01:01:26It 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 commits my fault

01:01:45Your Majesty

01:01:46It was this wretched maid

01:01:48She told me

01:01:49To seduce his Majesty

01:01:51This is why I lost my composure

01:01:53Lady Caldwell

01:01:54It was clear to you

01:01:56Simon

01:01:56If it weren't for your manipulation

01:01:57How could I have spoken so recklessly before the Empress Dowager?

01:02:00The palace maid Eleanor Fairfax

01:02:02Has spread rumors and caused trouble

01:02:04Take her away and sell her at once

01:02:07The palace maid Eleanor Fairfax

01:02:08Has spread rumors and caused trouble

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

01:02:11Your Majesty have mercy

01:02:13I did not spread rumors

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

01:02:16I truly did not spread rumors

01:02:18Your Majesty

01:02:19I beg your Majesty

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

01:02:22How dare you

01:02:22Anna Caldwell

01:02:23I always believed you to be a kind hearted

01:02:25Yet I never expected you to be ruthless

01:02:28You've overstepped your place

01:02:29And still dare to dream of becoming Empress

01:02:31You are sentenced to one year in the Office of Discipline

01:02:33To reflect on your actions

01:02:34Office of Discipline

01:02:35No

01:02:36Your Majesty

01:02:36This almost object admits her fault

01:02:38Your Majesty

01:02:39Please spare me

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

01:02:43I have questions for you

01:02:45Where is Her Majesty taking them?

01:02:55Where is Her Majesty taking them?

01:02:59Where is Her Majesty taking them?

01:03:03Aveline

01:03:04Lucas

01:03:06Did the Empress down to punish you?

01:03:07Of course not

01:03:08Her Majesty wishes to discuss the Spring Blossom Banquet with me

01:03:12That's a relief

01:03:14Aveline

01:03:17Aveline has passed the test

01:03:18Wonderful

01:03:19I will reveal my identity to her

01:03:21And 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 Aveline organize the Spring Blossom Banquet?

01:03:41If she can manage this banquet

01:03:43It will not only prove her capability

01:03:44But 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

01:04:07All right

01:04:14Get moving all of you

01:04:16If anyone dares to slack off

01:04:18My whip shows no mercy

01:04:21You useless fool

01:04:26Do you still think you're a pampered young lady?

01:04:30Once you're in the office of discipline

01:04:31No one gets to laze around

01:04:38Aveline Sterling

01:04:39This is all your fault

01:04:43Get it

01:04:43Don't touch me

01:04:44I'm the daughter of Chancellor Caldwell!

01:04:47You better show some respect!

01:04:54The daughter of Chancellor Caldwell?

01:04:56In my past life, Adrian Montag was promoted by the Empress Elwiger during the Spring Blossom Banquet.

01:05:01If I can escape this wretched place, and find a way to bring Adrian to the Spring Blossom Banquet, I can surely turn things around.

01:05:14What a wretched place! They expect me, a lady, to wash my clothes myself?

01:05:21Where did this lowly maid come from? I-

01:05:26Lady, I have an urgent request.

01:05:29When? Why should I help you?

01:05:31I am of noble birth. Were it not for this temporary misfortune, you wouldn't even be worthy to speak to me.

01:05:38My elder sister, Evelyn Sterling, is the reason I was imprisoned here!

01:05:44If you help escape, I shall be forever endowed to you.

01:05:49Evelyn Sterling?

01:05:56Not bad. The banquet itinerary is clear and well-structured. It is evident that much effort was put into it.

01:06:01Entrusting 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! The Office of Disappletists on fire!

01:06:11What?

01:06:18Sir, what is the situation inside?

01:06:21The fire has engulfed the entire rear courtyard. Nearly half the people couldn't make it out.

01:06:24Anna Caldwell.

01:06:33Your majesty!

01:06:39Your majesty!

01:06:41This humble subject has come to realize my mistakes!

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

01:06:46The Office of Disappletists on fire is a place I cannot enjoy even for a single day longer!

01:06:48a single day longer. As long as you're alive,

01:06:51at least this allows me to account

01:06:52for your well-being to your father.

01:06:54Enough. With your temperament, staying in the

01:06:56Office of Discipline would serve no purpose.

01:06:58Next month, you shall be the one to marry

01:07:00into Lior Empire.

01:07:02What? I married to Lai?

01:07:05What? Are you

01:07:06unwilling? Or would you prefer

01:07:08to continue staying in the Office of Discipline?

01:07:12No.

01:07:14This humble subject

01:07:15humbly obeys

01:07:17your majesty's decree.

01:07:18I shall depart for the marriage

01:07:21Lai is next month.

01:07:23However, I have an

01:07:24impertinent request. I was able

01:07:26to escape this calamity.

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

01:07:31I dare to ask that your majesty

01:07:33release Josephine Sterling from the Office of

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

01:07:36majesty.

01:07:40I remember.

01:07:42Josephine is your sister.

01:07:45Tell me,

01:07:47how should I reward her?

01:07:52Empress Dowager,

01:07:53we were never close

01:07:54since 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,

01:08:03then so be it.

01:08:04Let's go back.

01:08:07Thank you for your grace.

01:08:09Evelyn Sterling,

01:08:19I thought you had

01:08:22sword height already.

01:08:24Turns out,

01:08:25you're still that low.

01:08:27You've ruined our parents and montags,

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

01:08:32About that,

01:08:33I will make sure you pay it.

01:08:46Edmund,

01:08:47let me out, please.

01:08:48This is driving me crazy.

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

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

01:08:59two fools,

01:09:00I wouldn't have offended his majesty

01:09:02and lost my position.

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

01:09:08Husband!

01:09:09Why are you back?

01:09:13The Empress Dowager pardoned me.

01:09:15I'm released from Office of 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 a lonely palace-based uniform.

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

01:09:45A palace maid?

01:09:47Could it be that

01:09:48His Majesty married her on a whim?

01:09:50Totally.

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

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

01:09:55Spring Blossom Banquet is coming.

01:09:58All the nobles

01:09:59will be present then.

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

01:10:03Spring Blossom Banquet.

01:10:05We're invited too.

01:10:07So I can go then?

01:10:09What 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

01:10:20the 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.

01:11:01Avalyn.

01:11:13Avalyn.

01:11:14If you like these pastries,

01:11:16I can get you more.

01:11:16Glad this is a remote area

01:11:23with no patrols.

01:11:25Otherwise,

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

01:11:35Avalyn.

01:11:36Once the banquet ends,

01:11:40wait for me here.

01:11:41I got something to tell you.

01:11:42All right.

01:11:44I'll wait for you here.

01:11:53Husband,

01:11:54look over there.

01:11:59Avalyn.

01:12:00And a palace guard.

01:12:01Oh, right.

01:12:06You're on duty today.

01:12:08Let's hurry back.

01:12:11Remember,

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.

01:12:28This is the Imperial Palace.

01:12:40Not your place,

01:12:41all right?

01:12:41Everything you do here is washed by his majesty

01:12:44in the Empress Gouger.

01:12:45They were just released.

01:12:46Have you learned your lesson?

01:12:48My husband and I 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.

01:13:02You were lucky to have gone away last time.

01:13:06No one can protect you

01:13:08this time.

01:13:10What do you mean?

01:13:12I want to destroy you

01:13:14from head to toe.

01:13:17Greetings, Empress Dowager.

01:13:18Greetings, Empress Dowager.

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.

01:13:41Your Highness,

01:13:43I have something to say.

01:13:44Speak.

01:13:45I wish to report

01:13:47Evelyn's improper relationship

01:13:49with 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

01:14:01in broad daylight,

01:14:02who knows what they do

01:14:03in secret?

01:14:05Your Highness,

01:14:06I did have a contact

01:14:08with 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.

01:14:16If you weren't guilty,

01:14:18why did you hurry away

01:14:20in that moment you saw us?

01:14:21This should be punishable

01:14:22by death.

01:14:25Your Highness,

01:14:27I insist on seeing him.

01:14:28If this matter

01:14:29deserves punishment,

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

01:14:34Since neither of you

01:14:35are innocent,

01:14:36Your Highness,

01:14:37please summon the guard

01:14:39and execute them.

01:14:40Yes, Your Highness,

01:14:41punish them both

01:14:42to uphold palace discipline.

01:14:45You two want me

01:14:46to execute the guard?

01:14:51You two want me

01:14:52to execute the guard?

01:14:56In the palace,

01:14:57it is indeed forbidden

01:14:58for palace maids

01:14:59and guards to mingle.

01:15:01But Evelyn,

01:15:02for organizing the banquet,

01:15:03put in great effort.

01:15:05She's redeemed herself.

01:15:06I have decided

01:15:07to spare her

01:15:08from punishment.

01:15:09Bye!

01:15:09Evelyn,

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

01:15:12Yes.

01:15:13Farewell, Your Highness.

01:15:28She escaped again.

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

01:15:32First the Emperor

01:15:33protected her

01:15:34and now the Empress dowager.

01:15:35Even she was entrusted

01:15:36with the whole banquet?

01:15:38Since she's in charge

01:15:39of the banquet,

01:15:40we can just...

01:15:46Your 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

01:16:00where we were before.

01:16:01What?

01:16:04Eunuch,

01:16:05Lainley.

01:16:06Come here.

01:16:06What's going on?

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

01:16:17this time.

01:16:18They're talking about

01:16:19how good the banquet is.

01:16:20Even an Empress dowager

01:16:21looks pleased.

01:16:22That's great.

01:16:24Someone is waiting

01:16:25for you in that courtyard.

01:16:26Go.

01:16:27How is it?

01:16:31Assassins,

01:16:31protect the Empress dowager!

01:16:33What's going on inside?

01:16:37An assassin disguised

01:16:38as a dancer.

01:16:39Lord Montague took

01:16:40the blow for 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.

01:16:50What?

01:16:51Me?

01:16:52My 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.

01:17:18I 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

01:17:27meeting with the guard.

01:17:28You were so affectionate

01:17:29that you just ignore

01:17:30everything around you.

01:17:32What?

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 of this.

01:17:44Why hasn't Evelyn come yet?

01:17:52Sir,

01:18:02here's the guard.

01:18:04Are you alright?

01:18:05Lucas?

01:18:08Evelyn Sterling,

01:18:09how do you plead?

01:18:10Please investigate Sterling.

01:18:12Since you're 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,

01:18:23for my husband's quick reaction.

01:18:25You should have been

01:18:26executed by now.

01:18:28Chancellor Kefum,

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,

01:18:54remark over water.

01:18:55Chesler,

01:18:55I'm begging you.

01:18:57Chesler.

01:18:57Chesler,

01:18:58don't.

01:18:59Chesler,

01:19:00please.

01:19:01Chesler.

01:19:03Lucas,

01:19:04I'm sorry.

01:19:05It's not my fault.

01:19:06I'm so sorry.

01:19:12Stop now.

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

01:19:30Your Majesty.

01:19:32Long live your Majesty.

01:19:33Long live your Majesty.

01:19:37Long live your Majesty.

01:19:39How dare you

01:19:42condemning the innocent

01:19:44without discerning

01:19:45right from wrong.

01:19:47This is totally outrageous.

01:19:55You keep going against

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.

01:20:02Your Majesty,

01:20:02I didn't meant

01:20:04to hurt my sister.

01:20:05Your Majesty,

01:20:06Evelyn was in charge

01:20:07of the banquet,

01:20:07but she allowed

01:20:08assassins into

01:20:09hurt.

01:20:09The Empress Dowager,

01:20:10I beg you.

01:20:11Your Majesty

01:20:11issued an order

01:20:12at 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

01:20:16for my husband's

01:20:17presence today,

01:20:18the Empress Dowager

01:20:19might not have survived.

01:20:20Your Majesty,

01:20:20my life is of no consequence,

01:20:22but Evelyn must be punished.

01:20:26Your Majesty,

01:20:27my life is of no consequence,

01:20:29but Evelyn must be punished.

01:20:31If this happens again,

01:20:33who will protect the palace?

01:20:37Police.

01:20:38You must punish Evelyn.

01:20:40Adrian Montague,

01:20:42are you making decisions

01:20:43for me?

01:20:43The Empress Dowager

01:20:44has been traumatized today.

01:20:45If your Majesty

01:20:46doesn't punish Evelyn,

01:20:47what if others follow

01:20:48her 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.

01:20:56Is that so?

01:21:03If I have evidence

01:21:04that Evelyn's innocent,

01:21:05what should you be punished for?

01:21:13Possible.

01:21:15Nicholas,

01:21:16I'm asking you!

01:21:19If I was wrong about her,

01:21:21I'm willing to receive

01:21:23the same punishment.

01:21:24Okay!

01:21:26Come on!

01:21:27Bring them to me!

01:21:30Your Majesty is wise!

01:21:32Following your orders,

01:21:34I've already arranged for guards

01:21:36to capture the assassin.

01:21:38Your Majesty,

01:21:39spare me!

01:21:40The assassination

01:21:41was all Josephine and Andrew's idea.

01:21:43I was surely forced into it.

01:21:44Your Majesty,

01:21:44spare me!

01:21:45Your Majesty,

01:21:46please spare me!

01:21:46It's over!

01:21:47It's all over!

01:21:48Guards,

01:21:49take Nicholas away!

01:21:51Your Majesty,

01:21:52I've been

01:21:53serving the royals

01:21:54for decades!

01:21:56I'm absolutely loyal!

01:21:58Your Majesty,

01:21:58please,

01:21:59don't do this to me!

01:22:00Your Majesty!

01:22:06Your Majesty!

01:22:07That's for you two.

01:22:09Your Majesty!

01:22:10This has nothing to do with me!

01:22:11It was all her!

01:22:12She ordered me to do it!

01:22:13You're lying!

01:22:14Your Majesty,

01:22:15I was only jealous

01:22:16of my sister!

01:22:16The assassination

01:22:17was lying man's idea!

01:22:19And taking the flu

01:22:20was all part of this act!

01:22:21Your Majesty!

01:22:22Damn it!

01:22:23How dare you betray me!

01:22:25Enough!

01:22:26Adrian Montague,

01:22:28Josephine Sterling,

01:22:29as masterminds,

01:22:31will be executed right now!
