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

00:53:53It may not look appealing, but it is true that the rash has faded somewhat.
00:54:23It 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?
00:55:00If it weren't for you today, I might have already been taken away.
00:55:05As for what happened before, I owe you an apology.
00:55:08I will accept any punishment or scolding you see fit.
00:55:19Why would I scold you?
00:55:23So you're willing to forgive me?
00:55:26You're not entirely a bad person.
00:55:30It's just that your words can be utterly vicious.
00:55:42Go.
00:55:43Her Majesty, I believe that His Majesty's insistence on making Lady Evelyn the Empress does not seem like a mere impulse.
00:55:55Lady Evelyn truly possesses remarkable qualities.
00:56:00I'll see you at her chestnut cake.
00:56:02It was her!
00:56:11It was you who seduced His Majesty.
00:56:17With a stuck-to-face of yours, no wonder you can't stay out of trouble.
00:56:20His Majesty finding a bride outside the palace is not me.
00:56:23But when did your lowly servants dare to entertain such wicked thoughts?
00:56:28When did Evelyn ever seduce His Majesty?
00:56:30Isabella, 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 picking fights deliberately.
00:56:38Isabella!
00:56:41Do you even know who I am?
00:56:42How dare you act so insolently in my presence?
00:56:46Susan.
00:56:50Wait!
00:56:51The person standing before you is Lady Caldwell, daughter of Chancellor Caldwell.
00:56:55She's the one the Empress Dodge Rager has chosen to be Empress.
00:56:58What a fool!
00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell is the esteemed daughter of the Chancellor, surely 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, but also entangled yourself with the guards.
00:57:15That face of yours is too dangerous to keep.
00:57:21Stop!
00:57:23Stop!
00:57:33Stop!
00:57:34Stop!
00:57:42The Imperial Household Bureau is part of the harem.
00:57:44Since when is it your place to interfere?
00:57:46A mere old servant, dares to raise your voice in front of me?
00:57:51You!
00:57:52How dare you!
00:57:53His Majesty and I grew up together.
00:57:55I am the only candidate for emphasis.
00:57:57The harm will be mine sooner or later.
00:57:59Dealing the lowly maid is nothing to me.
00:58:01Preposterous!
00:58:02Do you even know who stands before you?
00:58:04Aren't you just a lowborn servant?
00:58:06If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never learn your place.
00:58:09Restrainer as well.
00:58:10Eleanor!
00:58:11You wouldn't dare!
00:58:12I never expected you to be so venomous at heart.
00:58:13Her Majesty truly misjudged you.
00:58:14Huh!
00:58:15You dare call yourself Her Majesty?
00:58:16Who are you taking?
00:58:17The Empress Dowager?
00:58:18The Empress Dowager?
00:58:19The Empress Dowager?
00:58:20The Empress Dowager?
00:58:21The Empress Dowager
00:58:22The Empress Dowager
00:58:23I never expected you to be so venomous at heart.
00:58:25Her Majesty truly misjudged you.
00:58:27Huh!
00:58:28You dare call yourself Her Majesty?
00:58:29Who are you taking yourself for?
00:58:30The Empress Dowager?
00:58:31The Empress Dowager?
00:58:36A disfigured old wretch like you, dare to use the title of the Empress Dowager?
00:58:41It seems you've grown tired of living.
00:58:43It seems you still refuse to admit your wrongdoing.
00:58:45Huh!
00:58:46What wrong have I done?
00:58:47You born into lowly status can only be servants in the palace.
00:58:51To defy your superiors is to seek death!
00:58:53You!
00:58:54Lady Catwell, the inner court is under the jurisdiction of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.
00:58:58To deal with the palace servants privately is likely against the rules.
00:59:01I beg you to show mercy.
00:59:02As the head of the Imperial House of Hero, you have allowed your mage to reduce His Majesty.
00:59:07Such behaviors as a dangerous example, this is unforgivable.
00:59:10Fetch my way!
00:59:15The Spring Blossom banquet will be held at the beginning of next month.
00:59:19This year, all the nobles and dignitaries will be in attendance.
00:59:22Everything must be prepared perfectly.
00:59:24Your Majesty, rest assured, I will spare no effort in ensuring its success.
00:59:28You insolent servant!
00:59:29How dare you disturb His Majesty!
00:59:30His Majesty?
00:59:31This humble mate greets Your Majesty and beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling!
00:59:32What did you say?
00:59:33Evelyn's in danger!
00:59:34His Majesty?
00:59:35His Majesty?
00:59:36His Humble mate greets Your Majesty and beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling!
00:59:39What did you say?
00:59:40Evelyn's in danger!
00:59:41His Majesty?
00:59:42His Humble mate greets Your Majesty and beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling!
00:59:43What did you say?
00:59:44Evelyn's in danger!
00:59:45His Majesty?
00:59:46His Humble mate greets Your Majesty and beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling!
00:59:48What did you say?
00:59:49Evelyn's in danger!
00:59:50This humble maid greets your majesty and beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling!
00:59:54What did you say? Evelyn's in danger!
01:00:08What are you doing?
01:00:10It was me who offended Lady Cabell, and I got wish for him, who suffered punishment on my account.
01:00:15Since you're so eager to play the hero, I shall grant your wish today!
01:00:20Enough!
01:00:22Anna Caldwell, her majesty advises you not to go too far, otherwise...
01:00:26You called yourself her majesty again? You reckless wretch!
01:00:29Today, I shall teach you the rules on behalf of the Empress Tower!
01:00:31Anna Caldwell!
01:00:35Do you know who you are about to whip?
01:00:37Your majesty...
01:00:40I greet the Empress Tower!
01:00:42I greet her majesty...
01:00:45The Empress Tower?
01:00:47How could she possibly be the Empress Tower?
01:00:54How could she possibly be the Empress Tower?
01:00:57How is this possible?
01:00:59Her 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!
01:01:07Your majesty, this humble subject admits her fault!
01:01:12I failed to recognize that you were the Empress Tower!
01:01:14I beg your majesty for forgiveness!
01:01:16I beg the Emperor for mercy!
01:01:19The Emperor...
01:01:24This humble official believes this matters are of great importance.
01:01:26It concerns the dignity of the Empress Tower.
01:01:28I implore your majesty to carefully consider the matter.
01:01:37Exactly!
01:01:38How could you dare to offend the Empress Tower?
01:01:41Admit your fault at once!
01:01:42This humble subject admits my fault!
01:01:45Your majesty!
01:01:47It was this wretched man!
01:01:48She told me to seduce his majesty!
01:01:51This is why I lost my composure!
01:01:53Lady Caldwell!
01:01:54It was clearly you!
01:01:55It's time!
01:01:56If it weren't for your manipulation!
01:01:57How could I have spoken so recklessly before the Empress Tower?
01:02:00The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble!
01:02:03Take her away and sell her at once!
01:02:06The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble!
01:02:09Take her away and sell her at once!
01:02:11Your majesty have mercy!
01:02:12I did not spread rumors!
01:02:13I saw Evelyn flirting with the guards!
01:02:15I truly did not spread rumors!
01:02:17Your majesty!
01:02:18I beg your majesty!
01:02:19You are the eldest daughter of the sturdy family!
01:02:21How dare you!
01:02:22Anna Caldwell!
01:02:23I always believed you to be a kind-hearted, yet I never expected you to be ruthless!
01:02:27You've overstepped your place and still dared to dream of becoming Empress!
01:02:30You are sentenced to one year in the Office of Discipline to reflect on your actions!
01:02:34Office of Discipline!
01:02:35No!
01:02:36Your majesty!
01:02:37This humble subject admits her fault!
01:02:38Your majesty!
01:02:39Please spare me!
01:02:40I do not want to get to the Office of Discipline!
01:02:43I have questions for you!
01:02:49Where is her majesty taking them?
01:03:03Evelyn!
01:03:05Lucas!
01:03:06Did the Empress down to punish you?
01:03:07Of course not!
01:03:08Her majesty wished to discuss the Spring Blossom Banquet with me!
01:03:11That's a relief!
01:03:13Evelyn!
01:03:14Evelyn has passed the test!
01:03:17Wonderful!
01:03:18I will reveal my identity to her and make her my Empress!
01:03:21There is no need to rush the coronation!
01:03:24The Ministry of Rights is preparing for the Spring Blossom Banquet next month!
01:03:28They may not have enough resources to manage both!
01:03:31Moreover, this matter is too sudden!
01:03:34I'm concerned the other ministers may object!
01:03:37Mother!
01:03:38Why not let Evelyn organize the Spring Blossom Banquet?
01:03:41If she can manage this banquet, it will not only prove her capability, but also make her coronation more acceptable to everyone!
01:03:48Her majesty wants you to take charge of the Spring Blossom Banquet!
01:03:51Me?
01:03:53I don't know how to organize it!
01:03:58Don't worry!
01:03:59Trust your abilities!
01:04:00You shall triumph!
01:04:01I'll also assist you behind the scenes!
01:04:07Alright!
01:04:11Get moving, all of you!
01:04:15If anyone dares to slack off, my whip shows no mercy!
01:04:24Useless fool!
01:04:26Do you still think you're a pampered young lady?
01:04:28Huh?
01:04:29Once you're in the office of discipline, no one gets to laze around!
01:04:36Evelyn Sterling, this is all your fault!
01:04:39It's all your fault!
01:04:43Don't touch me!
01:04:45I'm the daughter of Chancellor Caldwell!
01:04:46You better show some respect!
01:04:54The daughter of Chancellor Caldwell?
01:04:56In my past life, Adrian Montague was promoted by the Empress Elwiger during the Spring Blossom Banquet!
01:05:00If I can escape this wretched place, and find a way to bring Adrian to the Spring Blossom Banquet, I can surely turn things around!
01:05:08What a wretched place!
01:05:09They expect me, a lady, to wash my clothes myself?
01:05:11Where did this lowly maid come from?
01:05:12I...
01:05:13Lady, I have an urgent request!
01:05:14When?
01:05:15Why should I help you?
01:05:16I am of noble birth.
01:05:17Were it not for this temporary misfortune?
01:05:18You wouldn't even be worthy to speak to her?
01:05:19My elder sister Evelyn Sterling is the reason I was in prison here!
01:05:33for this temporary misfortune.
01:05:36You wouldn't even be worthy to speak to me.
01:05:40My elder sister, Evelyn Sterling,
01:05:42is the reason I was in prison here.
01:05:44If you help escape,
01:05:45I shall be forever indebted to you.
01:05:50Evelyn Sterling?
01:05:56Not bad.
01:05:57The banquet itinerary is clear and well-structured.
01:06:00It is evident that much effort was put into it.
01:06:02Entrusting you at the banquet's organization
01:06:04was indeed a wide choice.
01:06:06Many thanks for your majesty's praise.
01:06:07Your majesty, terrible news.
01:06:10The office of the sublet 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.
01:06:32Your 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
01:06:48even for a single day longer.
01:06:49As long as you're alive,
01:06:51at least this allows me to account for your well-being
01:06:53to your father.
01:06:54Enough.
01:06:55With your temperament,
01:06:56staying in the office of discipline
01:06:57would serve no purpose.
01:06:58Next month,
01:06:59you shall be the one to marry
01:07:00into Lior Empire.
01:07:02What?
01:07:03A marriage ally?
01:07:05What?
01:07:06Are you unwilling?
01:07:07Or would you prefer to continue
01:07:09staying in the office of discipline?
01:07:12No.
01:07:14This humble subject
01:07:15humbly obeys your majesty's decree.
01:07:18I shall depart for the marriage
01:07:21alliance next month.
01:07:22However,
01:07:23I have an impertinent request.
01:07:26I was able to escape this calamity.
01:07:28Thanks to Josephine Sterling
01:07:29risking her life to save,
01:07:31I dare to ask that your majesty
01:07:33release Josephine Sterling
01:07:34from the office of discipline.
01:07:35I pay your respects to your majesty.
01:07:41I remember.
01:07:42Josephine is your sister.
01:07:45Tell me,
01:07:47how should I reward her?
01:07:49Empress 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
01:08:02to the marriage alliance,
01:08:03then so be it.
01:08:04Let's go back.
01:08:07Thank you for your grace.
01:08:09Thank you for your grace.
01:08:09Evelyn Sterling,
01:08:20I 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
01:08:28and montags.
01:08:29And also got me thrown
01:08:30into the office of discipline.
01:08:32About that,
01:08:34I will make sure
01:08:36you pay it.
01:08:37Edmund,
01:08:47let me out, please.
01:08:49This is driving me crazy.
01:08:55You don't get to complain.
01:08:57If it weren't for you
01:08:58and Josephine,
01:08:59two fools,
01:09:00I wouldn't have offended
01:09:01his majesty
01:09:02and lost my position.
01:09:04It's all Josephine's fault.
01:09:07Husband!
01:09:09Why are you back?
01:09:13The Empress Dowager
01:09:14pardoned me.
01:09:15I'm released
01:09:16from office of discipline.
01:09:17After everything
01:09:18you put us through,
01:09:19you still have the guts
01:09:21to come back?
01:09:22Edmund,
01:09:23it's all because Evelyn.
01:09:25Instead of blaming
01:09:26each other here,
01:09:27we should think
01:09:28how to get back at her.
01:09:29Get back at her?
01:09:32She's like royalty now.
01:09:34How'd you get back at her,
01:09:35huh?
01:09:36I saw her once
01:09:37at the office of discipline.
01:09:39She was wearing
01:09:40the lonely palace
01:09:41mace uniform.
01:09:43I don't think
01:09:43she's royal.
01:09:45A palace mace?
01:09:47Could it be that
01:09:48his majesty
01:09:49married her on a whim?
01:09:50Totally.
01:09:51If his majesty
01:09:52really liked her,
01:09:53why would she be
01:09:53wearing that uniform?
01:09:55Spring Blossom Banquet
01:09:57is coming.
01:09:58All the novels
01:09:59will be present then.
01:10:01It's the perfect opportunity.
01:10:03Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:10:05We're invited too.
01:10:07So I can go then?
01:10:11What are you
01:10:11scheming 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.
01:10:27It's going to be
01:10:46all nobles
01:10:47and high officials.
01:10:48Check everything thoroughly.
01:10:50We cannot afford
01:10:50any mistakes.
01:10:54Oh, stop worrying.
01:10:55We've confirmed
01:10:56every detail
01:10:57multiple times already.
01:10:58There won't be
01:10:59any problems.
01:11:00Let's hope so.
01:11:03Avalyn.
01:11:13Avalyn,
01:11:14if you like
01:11:15these pastries,
01:11:16I can get you more.
01:11:16I can get you more.
01:11:21Glad this is
01:11:22a remote area
01:11:23with no patrols.
01:11:25Otherwise,
01:11:26I can't meet like this.
01:11:35Avalyn.
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,
01:11:53look over there.
01:11:59Avalyn,
01:12:00and a palace guard.
01:12:05Oh, right.
01:12:06You're on duty today.
01:12:08Let's hurry back.
01:12:11Remember,
01:12:12wait for me here.
01:12:13Okay,
01:12:14take these.
01:12:19Hey,
01:12:20you really can't go
01:12:21a moment without a man.
01:12:23Just got tossed aside
01:12:25by his majesty,
01:12:26and now,
01:12:27you're ready
01:12:27with the guard.
01:12:28This is the Imperial Palace.
01:12:40Not your place,
01:12:41all right?
01:12:41Everything you do here
01:12:42is washed by his majesty
01:12:44in the Empress Gouger.
01:12:45They were just released.
01:12:46Have you learned your lesson?
01:12:48My husband and I
01:12:49were invited here
01:12:51as honored guests
01:12:52for the banquet.
01:12:53You're nothing but a maid.
01:12:54If you serve us well,
01:12:57I may reward you.
01:12:59If not,
01:13:00you'll get kicked out.
01:13:02You were lucky
01:13:03to have got 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
01:13:33must be exhausting.
01:13:34Once it is over,
01:13:35I will reward you properly.
01:13:38It's just my duty.
01:13:39Thanks for your grace.
01:13:41Your Highness,
01:13:43I have something to say.
01:13:44Speak.
01:13:46I wish to report
01:13:47Evelyn's improper relationship
01:13:49with the guard.
01:13:52Oh?
01:13:53I 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
01:14:11developed feelings.
01:14:12In the palace,
01:14:13we only met occasionally.
01:14:15There was nothing improper.
01:14:16If you weren't guilty,
01:14:18why did you hurry away
01:14:20in that moment you saw us?
01:14:21This should be punishable
01:14:22by death.
01:14:25Your Highness,
01:14:26I insist on the scene.
01:14:28If this matter
01:14:29deserves punishment,
01:14:31please spare the guard's life.
01:14:33Since neither of you
01:14:35are innocent,
01:14:36Your Highness,
01:14:37please summon the guard
01:14:39and execute them.
01:14:40Yes, Your Highness,
01:14:41punish them both
01:14:42to uphold palace discipline.
01:14:43You 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.
01:15:11Yes.
01:15:25Farewell,
01:15:26Your Highness.
01:15:28She escaped again.
01:15:30Why is she
01:15:31always so lucky?
01:15:32First the Emperor
01:15:33protected her
01:15:34and now the Empress 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.
01:16:04Eunuch Lainley.
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.
01:16:25Someone 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!
01:16:33What'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.
01:16:51What?
01:16:51Me?
01:16:52Me?
01:16:52Me?
01:16:52Me?
01:16:52Me?
01:16:52Me?
01:16:52Me?
01:16:52Me?
01:16:53Me?
01:16:53Me?
01:16:53Me?
01:16:53Me?
01:16:53Me?
01:16:53Me?
01:16:53Me?
01:16:54Me?
01:16:54Me?
01:16:55Me?
01:16:55Me?
01:16:55Me?
01:16:56Me?
01:16:56Me?
01:16:56Me?
01:16:57Me?
01:16:57Me?
01:16:58Me?
01:16:59Me?
01:16:59Me?
01:16:59Me?
01:17:00Me?
01:17:01Me?
01:17:01Evelyn Sterling,
01:17:02Grace the Prime Minister.
01:17:03So, she is the one
01:17:05who harmed Anna?
01:17:06Chancellor Caldwell,
01:17:08she was in charge
01:17:09of the palace banquet.
01:17:10How dare you?
01:17:11How dare you plan
01:17:13assassination
01:17:14against the Empress Dowager?
01:17:15Are you rebelling?
01:17:17I'm not.
01:17:18I personally verify
01:17:19the identity of everyone.
01:17:21I have no idea
01:17:22where the assassin came from.
01:17:23Of course you don't.
01:17:24Right before the banquet
01:17:25you were secretly meeting
01:17:26with the guard
01:17:27you were so affectionate
01:17:28that you just ignore
01:17:29everything around you.
01:17:30What?
01:17:32Is this true?
01:17:33Chancellor,
01:17:34I can testify
01:17:35that very guard
01:17:36is still at the Ministry of Rights.
01:17:37Somewhat.
01:17:38Bring that guard here.
01:17:39I will get to the bottom of this.
01:17:44Why hasn't Evelyn come yet?
01:18:00Lucas?
01:18:01Sir,
01:18:02here's the guard.
01:18:03Are you alright?
01:18:04Lucas?
01:18:07Evelyn Sterling,
01:18:08how do you plead?
01:18:09Please investigate thoroughly.
01:18:11Since there's an assassin,
01:18:12it's my fault indeed.
01:18:13I only beg you
01:18:14not to implicate anyone else.
01:18:15The palace is heavily guarded.
01:18:17An outsider could never get in.
01:18:19Evelyn must have secretly
01:18:20colluded with the assassin,
01:18:21if not for my husband's quick reaction.
01:18:23You should have been executed by now.
01:18:26Chancellor Catmull,
01:18:27I really don't know
01:18:28about the assassin.
01:18:29I beg you
01:18:30to grant me some time
01:18:31and we'll cover the truth
01:18:32behind this matter.
01:18:33Enough.
01:18:34Made Evelyn Sterling
01:18:35colluded with the guard,
01:18:37disrupted palace order,
01:18:38and put the Empress
01:18:40Starwager in danger.
01:18:41Both of them
01:18:42are to be executed immediately.
01:18:43No.
01:18:51Chesler,
01:18:53we broke over water.
01:18:54Chesler,
01:18:55I beg you.
01:18:56Chesler!
01:18:57Chesler,
01:18:58don't!
01:18:59Chesler,
01:19:00please.
01:19:01Chesler!
01:19:02Lucas,
01:19:03I'm sorry.
01:19:04It's not my fault.
01:19:05I'm so sorry.
01:19:13Stop now!
01:19:25Don't you dare touch her!
01:19:29Your Majesty!
01:19:31Long live Your Majesty!
01:19:37Long live Your Majesty!
01:19:41How dare you!
01:19:42condemning the innocent
01:19:44without discerning
01:19:45right from wrong!
01:19:46This is totally outrageous!
01:19:55You keep going against Evelyn
01:19:56every turn.
01:19:57Today,
01:19:58if I weren't here,
01:19:59you would've gotten your way.
01:20:01Your Majesty!
01:20:02I...
01:20:03I didn't meant to hurt my sister!
01:20:04Your Majesty!
01:20:05Evelyn was in charge
01:20:06of the banquet
01:20:07but she allowed assassins
01:20:08in to hurt
01:20:09the Empress Starwager.
01:20:10I beg you,
01:20:11the issue in order at once
01:20:12to imprison her
01:20:13for further interrogation.
01:20:14Chesler Goll was right!
01:20:15If it weren't for
01:20:16my husband's presence today,
01:20:17the Empress Starwager
01:20:18might not have survived!
01:20:19Your Majesty!
01:20:20My life is of no consequence
01:20:21but Evelyn must be punished!
01:20:26Your Majesty!
01:20:27My life is of no consequence
01:20:28but Evelyn must be punished!
01:20:29If this happens again,
01:20:32who will protect the palace?
01:20:36Police!
01:20:37You must punish Evelyn!
01:20:39Adrian Montague!
01:20:40Are you making decisions for me?
01:20:42The Empress Starwager
01:20:43has been traumatized today.
01:20:44If Your Majesty
01:20:45doesn't punish Evelyn,
01:20:46what if others follow her example?
01:20:48The consequences
01:20:49would be unimaginable!
01:20:50I request Your Majesty
01:20:51to punish Evelyn!
01:20:52I beg Your Majesty
01:20:53to punish Evelyn!
01:20:54I beg Your Majesty
01:20:55to punish Evelyn!
01:21:01Is that so?
01:21:02If I have evidence
01:21:03that Evelyn's innocent,
01:21:04what should you be punished for?
01:21:07Yep!
01:21:12What?
01:21:13Possible.
01:21:14Nicholas!
01:21:16I'm asking you!
01:21:18If I was wrong about her,
01:21:20I'm willing to receive
01:21:22the same punishment.
01:21:23Okay!
01:21:25Come on!
01:21:26Bring them to me!
01:21:30Your Majesty is wise.
01:21:31Following your orders,
01:21:33I've already arranged for guards
01:21:35to capture the assassins.
01:21:37Your Majesty, spare me! The assassination was all Josephine and Andrew's idea. I was truly forced into it. Your Majesty, spare me!
01:21:44Your Majesty, please!
01:21:45It's over! It's all over!
01:21:47Guards, take Nicholas away!
01:21:50Your Majesty, I've been serving the royals for decades!
01:21:55I'm absolutely loyal! Your Majesty, please, don't do this to me! Your Majesty!
01:22:01Her Majesty!
01:22:07That's for you two.
01:22:08Your Majesty! Your Majesty! This has nothing to do with me! It was all her! She ordered me to do it!
01:22:13You're lying!
01:22:14Your Majesty, I was only jealous of my sister! The assassination was all in Grant's idea! And taking the flu was all part of this act! Your Majesty!
01:22:22Dammit! How dare you betray me!
01:22:24Enough! Adrian Montague, Josephine Sterling, as masterminds, will be executed right now!
01:22:34Law Catherine and the Judicial Court, wait for further orders!
01:22:37Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
01:22:40Please give me a chance, Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
01:22:43I hate you! If that were you, all of this would have been mine!
01:22:47Your love, it's all because of yourself, not me!
01:22:53You brought all of this upon yourself!
01:22:55You brought all of this upon yourself!
01:22:56You brought all of this upon yourself!
01:23:03Evelyn...
01:23:06I...
01:23:10So, Your Majesty, what is your real name?
01:23:15Lucian Prescott.
01:23:18Lucian Prescott.
01:23:21Now the criminals have been taken away!
01:23:24Your Majesty and Your Highness, you can finally be together!
01:23:30My Highness!
01:23:33From today onward, I will make you Empress!
01:23:38Starting today, the concubines will be dismissed!
01:23:44The harem only has one leader!
01:23:47And that will be my Empress!
01:23:51Greetings!
01:23:53Long Live Your Highness!
01:23:54Long Live Your Highness!
01:23:55Long Live Your Highness!
