00:00:00Lady Aveline Sterling from the Montagues, a woman of virtue, diligent and gentle, hereby
00:00:05bestow the title of first-ranked Lady of Honour by Imperial Decree.
00:00:10We humbly thank His Majesty for His Grace.
00:00:21Murder!
00:00:22Murder!
00:00:23Duh!
00:00:24Hey!
00:00:25Someone's been killed!
00:00:26Murder!
00:00:27Murder!
00:00:28Murder!
00:00:41Sister...
00:00:43Why?
00:00:44Don't call me sister!
00:00:45You 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 Montag caught my bridal bow three years ago!
00:00:55A single命 of her is nothing but an illusion!
00:01:02If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honours!
00:01:07Master, I have already spread the word.
00:01:32Master, 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.
00:01:45You two better aim at the right man.
00:01:47Whichever of you marries well shall bring glory to our family.
00:01:50Have I been reborn to three years ago?
00:01:53The very day of the husband seeking bridal bond.
00:01:55My lady, it's time to cast your bond.
00:01:57Sister, please let me go first.
00:02:05In my past life, Josephine insists that I go first.
00:02:10Feigning modesty and humility.
00:02:12Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.
00:02:21Lady Josephine, this way!
00:02:22Give it to me!
00:02:23Lady Josephine, come on!
00:02:25In this life, I have to marry Adrian!
00:02:38Tim, Adrian, second son of the Montagues.
00:02:41The Montague family are relatives of the royal family.
00:02:44Which means we shall become royal king as well.
00:02:47I actually altered my fate.
00:02:51Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank.
00:02:53And I shall become a noble lady of honor.
00:02:58Josephine, you have schemed relentlessly.
00:03:01But little do you know that you're 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.
00:03:14Once I become Lady Montague, I shall be mindful of my words and actions, bringing prosperity to our family.
00:03:21Sister, what do you say?
00:03:24You are truly fortunate.
00:03:26As your sister, I am happy for you.
00:03:29Evelyn, Lady Luck is with me this time.
00:03:32In this life, I will never let you overshadow me again.
00:03:41That is...
00:03:42Your Majesty!
00:03:45Your Majesty!
00:03:47Master, if the Empress tower would you find, you're dressed like this.
00:03:51Mother's been always pressing me.
00:03:53I can only leave the palace for some peace.
00:03:56This is a perfect chance to experience the life of ordinary folk.
00:04:00Hurry, please, darling!
00:04:01The bridal ball for marriage!
00:04:03Let's have a look.
00:04:05In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal ball.
00:04:08I had to run away and that 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.
00:04:25Mother, how could you say such a thing?
00:04:28Sister has always been lucky and she would never bring shame upon us.
00:04:32In 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.
00:04:45In 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.
00:05:09Oh 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.
00:05:34Though 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?
00:06:09It's the Scottish!
00:06:11I'm dressed in such rags.
00:06:13She won't agree.
00:06:17Sister, why are you running?
00:06:19You cast the bridal bull yourself!
00:06:22You damn girl!
00:06:24Look 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.
00:06:50I am willing 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?
00:07:41We're not disabled or something.
00:07:46We may be poor now, but we can always earn our money.
00:07:50We 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!
00:07:59You're really gonna marry him?
00:08:01Evelyn, you'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.
00:08:12Lucas, he may be in rags now.
00:08:15But I can see his humility and 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, are you, sir?
00:08:25Indeed.
00:08:26If he refuses, that's breaking the rules.
00:08:29I'm gonna ruin their reputation.
00:08:31Seems well, she 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, don't blame us in the future.
00:08:39You won't get a share of the coming glory of us.
00:08:43I understand.
00:08:44The matchmaking is concluded.
00:08:47Everyone disperse.
00:08:51Sister, no hard feelings.
00:08:55But marrying a beggar means you will spend your life beneath me.
00:09:02You should worry about yourself.
00:09:04Life with the Montague's is not as easy as you imagine.
00:09:08Hmph.
00:09:16You...
00:09:16In 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.
00:09:29Today, the second daughter of the Sarlene family is to be wed.
00:09:38Her dowry includes a pair of gold phoenix hairpins laid with precious gems, plenty of boats of fine brocade, three land deeds for silk shops in the Eastern District.
00:09:47Lady Josephine Sterling's salary is worth a fortune, yet Lady Evelyn Sterling has nothing at all.
00:09:52They're both daughters of the Sarlene family, but the difference between them is astonishing.
00:09:56Sister, after marrying a beggar, you will likely toil for the rest of your life.
00:10:00I wonder if you can even endure such life.
00:10:11It's the bridegroom.
00:10:12The bridegroom has arrived.
00:10:15Oh, as expected of the second son of the Montague family, the 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, this will certainly be an interesting sight to behold.
00:10:32My respects to my honor, father, and mother-in-law.
00:10:34Please rise, my son-in-law.
00:10:35My 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.
00:10:46Sister, the auspicious hour is nearly over.
00:10:53Why has your husband not come for you?
00:10:55Could it be that he's not coming at all?
00:11:04I, your humble son-in-law, greet my honored father-in-law.
00:11:12My lady.
00:11:16My lady.
00:11:18Are you here to beg for the alms or take a bride?
00:11:21Dressed in such rags, do you not feel ashamed?
00:11:23Compared to Lord Montague, you are as far apart as heaven and earth.
00:11:28Just what are you wearing?
00:11:30In front of so many esteemed officials, are you not bringing shame upon me?
00:11:34Today is your wedding day.
00:11:36And yet you came dressed like this?
00:11:38Do you not find this is a disgrace?
00:11:40Do you not finding this humiliating?
00:11:42Marriage is a lifelong commitment, building upon sincerity, not mere appearances.
00:11:46The man I, Evelyn Sterling, have chosen is not one whose worth can be swayed by idle words.
00:11:51Have you not embarrassed us enough?
00:11:54Master, do not be anchored.
00:11:57From the moment Evelyn steps beyond this threshold, she'll no longer be a Sterling.
00:12:02The auspicious hour has arrived.
00:12:04Bring the bride to the carriage.
00:12:05This is dead.
00:12:17Congratulations, Master Sterling.
00:12:19Your son-in-law is truly an exceptional man.
00:12:24Many thanks, Deputy Minister.
00:12:26Please come inside.
00:12:27Off to you.
00:12:30Surely you didn't arrive on foot today.
00:12:32On such a big day, will you have the bride walk all the way to your home?
00:12:39Unheard of.
00:12:40Indeed.
00:12:41Not like my husband.
00:12:46My lady, please, allow me to take you home.
00:13:02Bow to the heavens and the earth.
00:13:11Is this the place they've found us to live in?
00:13:14Mm-mm.
00:13:14Bow to the elders.
00:13:20A shabby place like this, is it even fit for living?
00:13:22I just didn't want you to blow your cover.
00:13:24Mm-mm.
00:13:25And bow to each other as husband and wife.
00:13:28The ceremony is complete!
00:13:38My lady, I have put you through hardship, having a life with me in such a shabby place.
00:13:43Not at all.
00:13:44I actually think it's rather spacious.
00:13:48At least, it shields us from the wind and rain.
00:13:52If we work hard from now on, keep this place tidy,
00:13:55it'll soon feel much more comfortable.
00:13:56At this moment, I have nothing of value to give you.
00:14:01The shade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:14:04I've carried it with me all these years.
00:14:07And now, I'm giving it to you.
00:14:14It's so precious.
00:14:16Are you certain of it?
00:14:20All right.
00:14:21I will cherish it well.
00:14:23You're up.
00:14:49Breakfast is ready.
00:14:50For you.
00:14:51Hi.
00:14:55Where are you going?
00:14:57Today is the wife's homecoming day.
00:14:59I made telemeds from 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.
00:15:09Greetings, your majesty.
00:15:16Greetings, your majesty.
00:15:20Greetings, your majesty.
00:15:21Greetings, your majesty.
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.
00:15:41Yes, 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?
00:15:55Yes.
00:16:08Speak.
00:16:09What happened?
00:16:10The Empress Dowager distressed over your majesty's presence and suddenly collapsed.
00:16:13What?
00:16:14Victor, stay here and protect Evelyn.
00:16:16Let's head back.
00:16:17Yes, your majesty.
00:16:18Get someone to deliver some valuable gifts to Stirling Estate.
00:16:22Say that they're Evelyn's homecoming gifts.
00:16:24Yes, 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, 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.
00:16:51But 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.
00:17:12It has been quite a few days, since you had seen your husband before.
00:17:16You...
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:18Screw you, Adrian.
00:17:19Went drinking with corsets on our wedding night, and 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 the face to come back?
00:17:39What does your husband do all day?
00:17:41Not 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?
00:17:54Father-in-law, your humble son-in-law has brought a small gift.
00:17:59Oh.
00:17:59Oh.
00:18:00Oh.
00:18:01Hmm.
00:18:02Oh.
00:18:02Our 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,
00:18:19and yet you come back empty-handed on your homecoming day.
00:18:23Indeed, 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?
00:18:32Father, 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.
00:18:46Oh.
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?
00:19:00Well, she did marry a beggar.
00:19:03So her gift befits 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 could we expect from her?
00:19:12Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:19:13Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:19:15Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:19:18Master, Madam, someone from the palace has arrived with gifts.
00:19:21They say they are the homecoming gifts from Lady Evelyn.
00:19:23Master Sirling, who exactly has your eldest daughter married a mountain 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?
00:19:37But it must be from his majesty himself.
00:19:38It was personally arranged by the chief eunuch at his majesty's side.
00:19:42He said, for the Starling family's...
00:19:46...outest daughter.
00:19:48Mr. 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.
00:20:08Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:20:10Indeed.
00:20:11In 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.
00:20:20Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:20:22Josephine has married a remarkable husband.
00:20:24Just look at the grandeur of her homecoming.
00:20:27Such lavish gifts.
00:20:29Our Sterling family is truly honored beyond measure.
00:20:32Ha ha ha ha.
00:20:33The gifts have been delivered.
00:20:35I shall take my leave.
00:20:36Oh, 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 suck your power and favor.
00:21:37Outrageous!
00:21:38How dare you speak to your father in such a manner?
00:21:45A dragon chain pendant?
00:21:49Outrageous!
00:21:50And now, I must inform his majesty.
00:21:55Give it back to me!
00:21:57This cheap pendant looks of fine quality.
00:22:01From where did you steal it, sister?
00:22:04It is from Lucas.
00:22:05Give it back!
00:22:08That 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,
00:22:19but 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.
00:22:28You won the pendant?
00:22:29Very well.
00:22:30But you must sever all ties with the sterlings.
00:22:35You...
00:22:36Father,
00:22:40will you truly indulge Josephine's audacity?
00:22:43Am I not also your daughter?
00:22:45You insisted on marrying a beggar.
00:22:47Bringing shame upon the sterling family,
00:22:50you are unworthy to be my daughter.
00:22:52On this day forth,
00:22:53I have only one daughter,
00:22:55Josephine.
00:22:55For the rest of my life,
00:23:04I seek only to be with the one who is true of heart.
00:23:07Even if I must live on plain fare,
00:23:09it 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 are here and forth, strangers.
00:23:31All 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?
00:23:56Hold it.
00:23:59Now that you wish to leave,
00:24:01I fear it is too late.
00:24:03Guards!
00:24:04Bring the burning charcoal from the kitchen.
00:24:07Scatter them across the floor.
00:24:09What are you trying to do?
00:24:10Your Majesty,
00:24:13something here of course 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,
00:24:27you must first repay your parents' kindness.
00:24:30My Lady speaks most reasonably.
00:24:32Given your current state,
00:24:33it would be far too much to expect
00:24:35that you present anything of great value.
00:24:37Then you have no choice but to walk barefoot
00:24:39across this bed of burning charcoal.
00:24:43It is pleasing so fiercely.
00:24:45How could anyone survive walking across them?
00:24:47I will not walk.
00:24:50Oh?
00:24:51It seems, dear sister,
00:24:53that 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.
00:25:06Very well.
00:25:07I will never allow his heartfelt gift to be trampled a couple.
00:25:10I will walk.
00:25:11For the sake of a filthy beggar,
00:25:33you would go to such lengths?
00:25:35You must have lost your mind.
00:25:36For a mere jade pendant,
00:25:39a lady born into privilege
00:25:41would willingly walk across burning charcoal.
00:25:43No wonder she was foolish enough
00:25:45to marry a mere beggar.
00:25:46After all,
00:25:47what does a beggar have to his name
00:25:48but worthless trinkets?
00:25:50This jade pendant is likely
00:25:52his most treasured possession.
00:25:54No wonder, dear sister,
00:25:56cherishes it so.
00:25:58The jade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:26:01I've carried it with me all these years.
00:26:03And now,
00:26:05I'm giving it to you.
00:26:14For me, my lady.
00:26:17Lucas,
00:26:18do not worry.
00:26:20I will reclaim the jade pendant.
00:26:21Can you
00:26:33return 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,
00:26:45this jade pendant will be yours.
00:26:46The jade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:27:04I've carried it with me all these years.
00:27:08And now,
00:27:08I'm giving it to you.
00:27:12All right.
00:27:13I will cherish it, Will.
00:27:15you claim
00:27:40to cherish your love
00:27:42for that filthy beggar.
00:27:43But if you were disfigured,
00:27:46would your dearest husband still want you?
00:27:48Yeah.
00:27:50Why are you looking at me like that?
00:27:52I have long told you
00:27:54the fate of a woman
00:27:55who wets a beggar
00:27:56can only be one
00:27:57to be trampled upon at will.
00:28:00You exhaust yourself
00:28:01trying to torment me.
00:28:03But do you truly believe
00:28:05you'll get your way?
00:28:07I want you
00:28:08to spend the rest of your days
00:28:10wallowing in the gutter,
00:28:11watching as I rise
00:28:12to become
00:28:13the most esteemed woman
00:28:14in the world.
00:28:24His majesty has arrived!
00:28:32Who dares to lay a hand
00:28:33on my woman?
00:28:34Evelyn, I'm sorry.
00:28:39I'm late.
00:28:42Just be.
00:28:43Lucas,
00:28:45I didn't lose
00:28:46your drink, Brandon.
00:28:52Did they say
00:28:53it was his majesty?
00:28:54How could it be him?
00:28:55That beggar
00:28:56is dressed in
00:28:57such luxurious robes.
00:28:58And those men,
00:28:59are they the Imperial Guards?
00:29:01Why would they take orders
00:29:02from a beggar?
00:29:02I heard that filthy beggar's
00:29:03brother once served
00:29:04in the palace.
00:29:05Is it natural
00:29:06for him to procure
00:29:07some robes?
00:29:07That wretch beggar
00:29:08has suffered
00:29:09humiliation last time
00:29:10and now he has come
00:29:11to regain his dignity?
00:29:12Ha!
00:29:13What a joke!
00:29:14A mere beggar
00:29:15daring to put on
00:29:16an act in the
00:29:16sterling estate?
00:29:17Look at the fine
00:29:18husband you've chosen.
00:29:19Useless is one thing,
00:29:20but to be so audacious
00:29:22as to steal
00:29:23from the Imperial Palace?
00:29:24If his majesty
00:29:25were to find out,
00:29:26do you really believe
00:29:27you will be spared?
00:29:27Divian fools,
00:29:28you're doomed!
00:29:32You!
00:29:32What do you think
00:29:33you're doing?
00:29:33Avalyn,
00:29:34come with me.
00:29:36Avalyn,
00:29:37what'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
00:29:59to help my dear sister.
00:30:00Who would have thought
00:30:01she would walk
00:30:02barefoot across
00:30:02the burning charcoal?
00:30:04I wonder what
00:30:04she was thinking.
00:30:06Such a fool!
00:30:06Silence!
00:30:07And who do you think
00:30:08you are to dare
00:30:09raise your voice
00:30:10before me?
00:30:11Yes, I'm insulting her
00:30:13because she married
00:30:14a worthless man.
00:30:15I am a noble lady
00:30:16with the Montag family.
00:30:17You are nothing
00:30:18but insects beneath
00:30:19my feet.
00:30:20Even if I were
00:30:20to kill you here and now,
00:30:22you ought to kneel
00:30:22and sack me for it.
00:30:24Let's see how much
00:30:24longer you can keep
00:30:25up this charade.
00:30:26Guard!
00:30:26Seize this filthy beggar
00:30:28Nevelyn Sterling!
00:30:29Wait.
00:30:30How dare you
00:30:34humiliate my lady?
00:30:37Seize them!
00:30:38Seize them!
00:30:42How dare you!
00:30:43I'm Lady Joseph
00:30:44and Montag!
00:30:46The husband saved me!
00:30:48You filthy beggar!
00:30:49Guards!
00:30:49Whoever kills him
00:30:50for me, I shall
00:30:51reward him
00:30:51with ten tails of gold.
00:30:56Insulin, wretch!
00:30:57Lord Montague
00:30:58it was of royal lineage!
00:30:59If you dare lay a hand
00:31:00on him,
00:31:00you shall make an enemy
00:31:01of the entire Montague
00:31:02family!
00:31:03And what of it?
00:31:05Anyone who dares
00:31:05to harm my lady
00:31:06shall only have
00:31:07one face,
00:31:08death!
00:31:11You filthy beggar,
00:31:13you're taking this act
00:31:13too far!
00:31:14Before I lose my temper,
00:31:15release me at once!
00:31:16I'm like to spear
00:31:17of your life!
00:31:18You've tortured
00:31:19Evelyn to such
00:31:20wretched state!
00:31:21Press their faces!
00:31:23Straight into the
00:31:23burning charcoal!
00:31:27No!
00:31:27No!
00:31:29No!
00:31:30No!
00:31:30What are you doing?
00:31:31No!
00:31:32Stop!
00:31:32Once the
00:31:33judicial court arrives,
00:31:34you are doomed!
00:31:34All right!
00:31:37My brother is an
00:31:38official of the
00:31:39imperial court!
00:31:39Do you really think
00:31:40you'll walk away
00:31:41alive?
00:31:41I'd like to see
00:31:42if the judicial court
00:31:44would tolerate
00:31:46this!
00:31:47Carry on!
00:31:49Help!
00:31:49No!
00:31:50Help!
00:31:50No!
00:31:51Don't leave!
00:31:52You wretched fool!
00:31:53If you wish to die,
00:31:54don't drag the
00:31:55Stony family down
00:31:56with you!
00:31:57No!
00:31:58Stop!
00:31:59Brother!
00:32:00Brother, save me!
00:32:01Who is harming
00:32:13my brother?
00:32:17The imperial secret
00:32:18guards, why are
00:32:19they here?
00:32:20Yes, I summoned
00:32:22them.

00:32:25it be?
00:32:26Your Majesty!
00:32:28Your Majesty!
00:32:31The Emperor?

00:32:39These clothes he's
00:32:39wearing are all
00:32:40stolen from the
00:32:40imperial palace!
00:32:41All these people
00:32:42were bribed by him
00:32:42with a huge sum
00:32:43of money!
00:32:44That's right!
00:32:45You're new to this
00:32:46office!
00:32:46It's normal to get
00:32:47the wrong person,
00:32:47but 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
00:32:53be here!
00:32:54Wretched girl,

00:45:29it was definitely not stolen
00:45:31i truly don't know how it could belong to his majesty
00:45:34we confirm the pendant belongs to my son
00:45:36wouldn't that expose us to your identity
00:45:38no
00:45:39we can't rely on the object to prove there was theft involved

00:47:51the jade pendant of yours

00:47:54why is it that they keep saying that the pendant belongs to his majesty
00:47:58uh my father
00:48:00my father once won first place in the imperial exam
00:48:03to encourage outstanding scholars
00:48:04his majesty rewarded him with the jade pendant
00:48:07this is how it came into our hands
00:48:08oh i see
00:48:10all they say is his majesty
00:48:11his majesty
00:48:12i thought maybe you were lying to me
00:48:14who's there
00:48:19it's madame willems
00:48:23hurry and go
00:48:24don't let her see you
00:48:25tomorrow
00:48:26i'll come to see you tomorrow again
00:48:28madames
00:48:35all the toilet bowls have been cleaned
00:48:37cleaned already
00:48:39then go sweep the entire back courtyard
00:48:42yes ma'am
00:48:47finally done with everything

00:49:03madame williams gave orders herself
00:49:05she said at first light tomorrow

00:49:08ma'am said
00:49:09the medicine must be boiled with morning dew
00:49:11tonight you should wait outside

00:49:14morning dew
00:49:16everyone 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
00:49:28you should be grateful
00:49:29the pendant wasn't stolen at all
00:49:31stop falsely accusing me
00:49:32not stolen
00:49:33are you saying his majesty gave it to you himself

00:49:49what arrogance
00:49:50this is the imperial palace
00:49:52there's no such thing as yours or mine
00:49:54don't think that's just because
00:49:54mountain lost so you can do whatever you want
00:49:56who said you could come in
00:50:00move aside
00:50:00aveline

00:50:42my 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 has master langley been by his majesty's side
00:51:05master langley
00:51:06what is going on here
00:51:08oh
00:51:10this young guy in here
00:51:11he bids a striking resemblance to his majesty
00:51:13i specifically brought him to the palace to interrogate him

00:51:26madam langston
00:51:27i beg your pardon
00:51:28it's entirely my fault
00:51:30for causing this young officer concern
00:51:32if you understand your error
00:51:33then leave at once
00:51:34as for you
00:51:45fraternizing with the guards is a grave matter
00:51:50yet madame williams merely punished her
00:51:52with kneeling
00:51:52the last time she stole a jade pendant
00:51:54that incident was also swept under the rug

00:52:37i only wished to do what was best for madam williams
00:52:43which is why i acted so foolishly
00:52:44how dare you serve something of unknown origin to ma'am

00:52:50how will you atone for this
00:52:52madam

00:53:30to spare isabella's life
00:53:32his majesty has not paid me attention for a long time

00:53:46he has recently been visiting imperial household bureau
00:53:49tell me who could be in the imperial household bureau
00:53:52to capture his majesty's interest so deeply

00:53:56i know nothing

00:53:58i remember now
00:54:03there is indeed someone
00:54:04who dares to do such a thing
00:54:05it may not look appealing
00:54:18but
00:54:19it is true that the rash has faded somewhat
00:54:21it seems
00:54:25you do have some skill
00:54:26thank you for your praise madam
00:54:29madam
00:54:29you need to only wait six more hours

00:54:53thank you
00:54:55if it weren't for you today
00:55:03i might have already been taken away
00:55:05as for what happened before i owe you an apology

00:55:11as for what happened before i owe you an apology
00:55:19why would i scold you
00:55:23so you're willing to forgive me
00:55:25you're not entirely a bad person
00:55:29it'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 does not seem like a mere impulse
00:55:54lady evelyn truly possesses remarkable qualities
00:55:58i'll see you
00:56:00i'll see you to chestnut cake
00:56:01it was her
00:56:03it was you who seduced his majesty
00:56:14hi
00:56:17david has stuck the face of yours
00:56:19no wonder you can't stay out of trouble
00:56:20his majesty was finding him right outside the palace
00:56:23But when did your lowly servants dare to entertain such wicked thoughts?
00:56:28When did Evelyn ever seduce his majesty?
00:56:31Isabella, have you forgotten how much we suffered because of her?
00:56:33Evelyn never once provoked me intentionally.
00:56:35It was you who kept picking fights deliberately.
00:56:39Isabella!
00:56:41Do you even know who I am?
00:56:43How dare you act so insolently in my presence?
00:56:46Susan.
00:56:50Wait!
00:56:50The person standing before you is Lady Caldwell, daughter 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, surely you are a reasonable person.
00:57:04We have never even met his majesty.
00:57:05So how could there be any talk of seduction?
00:57:07I beg you, Lady Caldwell, spare me.
00:57:10I heard from Eleanor that you not only seduced his majesty, but also entangled yourself with the guards.
00:57:15That face of yours is too dangerous to keep in mind.
00:57:18The Imperial Household Bureau is part of the harem.
00:57:45Since when is it your place to interfere?
00:57:48A mere old servant.
00:57:50There is to raise your voice in front of me.
00:57:52You!
00:57:52How dare you!
00:57:54His majesty and I grew up together.
00:57:56I am the only candidate for emphasis.
00:57:58The harm will be mine sooner or later.
00:58:00Dealing the lowly maid is nothing to me.
00:58:02Preposterous!
00:58:04Do you even know who stands before you?
00:58:07Aren't you just a lowborn servant?
00:58:10If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never learn your place.
00:58:14Restrainer as well.
00:58:16Eleanor, you wouldn't dare.
00:58:18I never expected you to be so venomous at heart.
00:58:26Her majesty truly misjudged you.
00:58:29You didn't call yourself her majesty?
00:58:30Who are you taking yourself for?
00:58:32The Empress Dowager?
00:58:38A disfigured old wretch like you.
00:58:40There is to use the title of the Empress Dowager.
00:58:42It seems you have grown tired of living.
00:58:43It seems you still refuse to admit your wrongdoing.
00:58:46What wrong have I done?
00:58:48You born into lowly status can only be servants of the palace.
00:58:51To defy your superiors is to seek death.
00:58:54You!
00:58:54Lady Catwell, the inner court is under the jurisdiction of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.
00:58:59To deal with the palace servants privately is likely against the rules.
00:59:02I beg you to show mercy.
00:59:03As the head of the Imperial House of Europe,
00:59:05you have allowed your maid to reduce his majesty.
00:59:07Such behavior is a dangerous example.
00:59:09This is unforgivable.
00:59:11Fetch my wisdom!
00:59:13The Supreme Blossom banquet will be held at the beginning of next month.
00:59:20This year, all the nobles and dignitaries will be in attendance.
00:59:23Everything must be prepared perfectly.
00:59:25Your majesty, rest assured.
00:59:27I will spare no effort in ensuring its success.
00:59:31You insolent servant!
00:59:33How dare you disturb His Majesty!
00:59:35His majesty?
00:59:37His humble maid greets Your Majesty and beg Your Majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling!
00:59:41What did you say?
00:59:42Evelyn's in danger!
00:59:43It was me who offended Lady Cavill.
01:00:12I would not wish for you, who suffered punishment on my account.
01:00:17Since you are so eager to play the hero,
01:00:18I shall grant your wish today.
01:00:21Enough!
01:00:22Anna Caldwell, Her Majesty advises you not to go too far, otherwise...
01:00:26You called yourself Her Majesty again?
01:00:28You reckless wretch!
01:00:29Today, I shall teach you the rules on behalf of the Empress Dowager!
01:00:32Anna Caldwell!
01:00:32Do you know who you are about to win!
01:00:37Do you know who you are about to win?
01:00:40Do you know who you are about to win?
01:00:41I agree to the Empress Dowager!
01:00:42I greet her majesty.
01:00:46The Empress Dowager?
01:00:48How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:55How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:58How is this possible?
01:01:00Her majesty was merely testing you, but she never expected you to be so insolent.
01:01:05How dare you overstep and offend her majesty herself?
01:01:09Your majesty, this humble subject 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.
01:01:19The Emperor?
01:01:24This humble official believes this matter is of great importance.
01:01:27It concerns the dignity of the Empress Dowager.
01:01:28I implore your majesty to carefully consider the matter.
01:01:37Exactly.
01:01:38How could you dare to offend the Empress Dowager?
01:01:41Admit your fault at once.
01:01:43The temple subject commits my fault.
01:01:46Your majesty, it was this wretched maid.
01:01:48She told me to seduce his majesty.
01:01:52This is why I lost my composure.
01:01:54Lady Caldwell, it was clear to you.
01:01:56Simon, if it weren't for your manipulation,
01:01:57how could I have spoken so recklessly before the Empress Dowager?
01:02:00The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble.
01:02:04Take her away and sell her at once.
01:02:07The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble.
01:02:10Take her away and sell her at once.
01:02:11Your majesty, have mercy.
01:02:13I did not spread rumors.
01:02:14I saw Evelyn flirting with the guards.
01:02:16I truly did not spread rumors.
01:02:18Your majesty.
01:02:19I beg your majesty.
01:02:20You are the eldest daughter to stir the camera.
01:02:22How dare you?
01:02:22Anna Caldwell, I always believed you to be a kind-hearted,
01:02:25yet I never expected you to be ruthless.
01:02:27You've overstepped your place and still dared to dream of becoming empress.
01:02:31You're sentenced to one year in the Office of Discipline to reflect on your actions.
01:02:34Office of Discipline.
01:02:35No, your majesty.
01:02:36This almost has to get miserable.
01:02:38Your majesty, please spare me.
01:02:40I do not want to get to the Office of Discipline.
01:02:43I have questions for you.
01:02:53Where is her majesty taking them?
01:02:57There is no need to rush the coronation.
01:03:24The Ministry of Rights is preparing for the Spring Blossom Banquet next month.
01:03:29They may not have enough resources to manage both.
01:03:32Moreover, this matter is too sudden.
01:03:35I'm concerned the other ministers may object.
01:03:38Mother, why not let Evelyn organize the Spring Blossom Banquet?
01:03:41If she can manage this banquet, it will not only prove her capability,
01:03:44but also make her coronation more acceptable to everyone.
01:03:48Her majesty wants you to take charge of the Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:03:51Me?
01:03:53I don't know how to organize it.
01:03:57Don't worry.
01:03:59Trust your abilities.
01:04:00You shall triumph.
01:04:01I'll also assist you behind the scenes.
01:04:02Get moving, all of you.
01:04:16If anyone there is a slack-off, my whip shows no mercy.
01:04:20Useless fool!
01:04:27Do you still think you're a pampered young lady?
01:04:29Huh?
01:04:30Once you're in the office of Discipline, no one gets to laze around.
01:04:37Evelyn Sterling, this is all your fault!
01:04:43Get it!
01:04:43Don't touch me!
01:04:45I'm the daughter of Chancellor Caldwell!
01:04:47But I better show some respect!
01:04:54The daughter of Chancellor Caldwell?
01:04:57In 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,
01:05:04and find a way to bring Adrian to the Spring Blossom Banquet,
01:05:07I can surely turn things around.
01:05:13What a wretched place!
01:05:16They expect me, a lady, to wash my clothes myself?
01:05:21Where did this lowly maid come from?
01:05:23I...
01:05:24Lady, I have an urgent request.
01:05:29When? Why should I help you?
01:05:31I am a noble bird.
01:05:33Were it not for this temporary misfortune,
01:05:35you wouldn't even be worthy to speak to me.
01:05:38My eldest sister, Evelyn Sterling, is the reason I was in prison here!
01:05:44If you help escape, I shall be forever indebted to you.
01:05:50Evelyn Sterling?
01:05:56Not bad.
01:05:57The banquet itinerary is clear and well-structured.
01:05:59It is evident that much effort was put into it.
01:06:02Entrusting you at the banquet's organization was indeed a wide choice.
01:06:06Many thanks for Your Majesty's praise.
01:06:07Your Majesty, terrible news.
01:06:10The Office of Discipline is on fire.
01:06:11What?
01:06:19Sir, what is the situation inside?
01:06:21The fire has invoked the entire rear courtyard.
01:06:23Nearly half the people couldn't make it out.
01:06:26Anna Caldwell.
01:06:33Your Majesty!
01:06:37This humble subject has come to realize my mistakes.
01:06:43I beg you to spare me from this punishment.
01:06:46The Office of Discipline is a place I cannot enjoy even for a single day longer.
01:06:49As long as you're alive, at least this allows me to account for your well-being to your father.
01:06:54Enough!
01:06:55With your temperament, staying in the Office of Discipline would serve no purpose.
01:06:58Next month, you shall be the one to marry into Lior Empire.
01:07:01What?
01:07:02What?
01:07:03I married a lie?
01:07:04What?
01:07:05Are you unwilling?
01:07:06Or would you prefer to continue staying in the Office of Discipline?
01:07:10Oh, no.
01:07:14This humble subject humbly obeys Your Majesty's decree.
01:07:18I shall depart for the marriage alliance next month.
01:07:23However, I have an impertinent request.
01:07:26I was able to escape this calamity.
01:07:28Thanks to Josephine Sterling risking her life to save,
01:07:31I dare to ask that Your Majesty release Josephine Sterling from the Office of Discipline.
01:07:35I pay your respects to Your Majesty.
01:07:40I remember.
01:07:42Josephine is your sister.
01:07:45Tell me,
01:07:47how should I reward her?
01:07:52Empress Dowager,
01:07:53we were never close since childhood.
01:07:56Our bond is not strong.
01:07:57I don't get a say in this.
01:08:01Since 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.
01:08:18Evelyn Sterling,
01:08:20I thought you had sworn high already.
01:08:24Turns out,
01:08:25you're still that low.
01:08:27You've ruined our parents and montags.
01:08:29And also got me thrown into the Office of Discipline.
01:08:32About that,
01:08:34I will make sure you pay it.
01:08:46Edmund,
01:08:47let me out, please.
01:08:48This is driving me crazy.
01:08:50This 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?
01:09:10The Empress Dowager pardoned me.
01:09:15I'm released from Office of Discipline.
01:09:17After everything you put us through,
01:09:19you still have the guts to come back?
01:09:22Edmund,
01:09:23it's all because Evelyn!
01:09:24Instead of blaming each other here,
01:09:27you should think how to get back at her.
01:09:30Get back at her?
01:09:32She's like royalty now.
01:09:34How to get back at her, huh?
01:09:35I saw her once at the Office of Discipline.
01:09:39She was wearing a lonely palace maid's uniform.
01:09:43I don't think she's royal.
01:09:45A palace maid?
01:09:47Could it be that His Majesty married her on a whim?
01:09:50Totally!
01:09:51If His Majesty really liked her,
01:09:53why would she be wearing that uniform?
01:09:55Spring Blossom Banquet is coming.
01:09:57All the novels will be present then.
01:10:01It's the perfect opportunity.
01:10:03Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:10:05We're invited too!
01:10:07So I can go then?
01:10:11What are you scheming this time?
01:10:15Don't worry.
01:10:16At the banquet,
01:10:18I'll impress everyone.
01:10:20As long as I win the Empress Dowager's favor,
01:10:22our family will rise again!
01:10:27It's gonna be all nobles and high officials.
01:10:48Check everything thoroughly.
01:10:50We cannot afford to any mistakes.
01:10:54Oh, stop worrying.
01:10:55We've confirmed every detail multiple times already.
01:10:58There won't be any problems.
01:11:00Let's hope so.
01:11:03Avalyn!
01:11:13Avalyn?
01:11:14If you like these pastries,
01:11:15I can get you more.
01:11:21Glad this is a remote area
01:11:23with no patrols.
01:11:25Otherwise,
01:11:26I can't meet like this.
01:11:35Avalyn.
01:11:38Once the banquet ends,
01:11:40wait for me here.
01:11:41I got something to tell you.
01:11:43Alright.
01:11:44I'll wait for you here.
01:11:45Avalyn.
01:11:46Avalyn.
01:11:57Avalyn.
01:11:57Oh, right.
01:11:58Look over there!
01:11:59And a palace guard.
01:12:05Oh, right. You're on duty today. Let's hurry back.
01:12:11Remember, wait for me here.
01:12:13Okay. Take these.
01:12:19Hey, you really can't go a moment without a man.
01:12:23Just got tossed aside by his majesty, and now you're ready with the guard.
01:12:29This is the Imperial Palace. Not your place, all right?
01:12:41Everything you do here is washed by his majesty and the Empress Dowager.
01:12:45You were just released. Have you learned your lesson?
01:12:48My husband and I were invited here as honored guests for the banquet.
01:12:53You're nothing but a maid.
01:12:55If you serve us well, I may reward you.
01:12:58If not, you'll get kicked out.
01:13:02You were lucky to have gone away last time.
01:13:06No one can protect you this time.
01:13:10What do you mean?
01:13:11I 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, I will reward you properly.
01:13:38It's just my duty.
01:13:39Thanks for your grace.
01:13:41Your Highness, I have something to say.
01:13:44Speak.
01:13:45I wish to report Evelyn's improper relationship with the guard.
01:13:52Oh?
01:13:53I saw it with my own eyes.
01:13:55Evelyn and a guard were extremely intimate.
01:13:58When caught, they tried to cover it up.
01:14:00If they're this bold in broad daylight, who knows what they do in secret?
01:14:03Your Highness, I did have a contact with the guard.
01:14:09But before entering the palace, we already had developed feelings.
01:14:12In the palace, we only met occasionally.
01:14:15There was nothing improper.
01:14:16If you weren't guilty, why did you hurry away in that moment you saw us?
01:14:21This should be punishable by death.
01:14:23Your Highness, I insist them on seeing him.
01:14:28If this matter deserves punishment, please spare the guard's life.
01:14:33Since neither of you are innocent,
01:14:36Your Highness, please summon the guard and execute them.
01:14:40Yes, Your Highness, punish them both to uphold palace discipline.
01:14:43You two want me to execute the guard?
01:14:51You two want me to execute the guard?
01:14:56In the palace, it is indeed forbidden for palace maids and guards to mingle.
01:15:00But Evelyn, for organizing the banquet, put in great effort.
01:15:05She's redeemed herself.
01:15:06I have decided to spare her from punishment.
01:15:09Bye.
01:15:09Evelyn, lead 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 protected her, and now the Empress Dowager.
01:15:35Even she was entrusted with the whole banquet?
01:15:38Since she's in charge of the banquet,
01:15:41we can just...
01:15:42Your Majesty, the 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 the truth before the banquet.
01:15:57Go tell Evelyn.
01:15:59To meet me where we were before.
01:16:01What?
01:16:04Eunuch Lainley.
01:16:06Come here.
01:16:06What's going on?
01:16:16You've done a great job this time.
01:16:18They're talking about how good the banquet is.
01:16:20Even an Empress Dowager looks pleased.
01:16:22That's great.
01:16:24Someone is waiting for you in that courtyard.
01:16:26Go.
01:16:27How is it?
01:16:28Assassins!
01:16:31Protect the Empress Dowager!
01:16:36What's going on inside?
01:16:37An assassin disguised in sedent, sir.
01:16:39Lord Montague took the 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 to the judicial court.
01:16:50What?
01:16:51Me?
01:16:53What?
01:16:59My lord, he's the suspect.
01:17:01Maid Evelyn Sterling.
01:17:03He's the Prime Minister.
01:17:04So, she's the one who harmed Dana.
01:17:07Chancellor Cogwell.
01:17:09She was in charge of the palace banquet.
01:17:11How dare you?
01:17:12How dare you plan assassination against the Empress Dowager?
01:17:16Are you rebelling?
01:17:18I'm not.
01:17:18I personally verified the identity of everyone.
01:17:22I have no idea where the assassin came from.
01:17:24Of course you don't.
01:17:25Right before the banquet,
01:17:26you were secretly meeting with the guard.
01:17:28You were so affectionate
01:17:29that you just ignore everything around you.
01:17:32What?
01:17:33Is this true?
01:17:34Chancellor,
01:17:35I can testify.
01:17:36That very guard is still at the Ministry of Rights.
01:17:38Someone.
01:17:39Bring that guard here.
01:17:40I will get to the bottom of this.
01:17:44Why hasn't Evelyn come yet?
01:17:48Sir, here's the guard.
01:18:04Are you alright, Lucas?
01:18:05Evelyn Sterling.
01:18:09How do you plead?
01:18:10Please investigate thoroughly.
01:18:12Since there's an assassin,
01:18:13it's my fault indeed.
01:18:14I only beg you not to implicate anyone else.
01:18:16The palace is heavily guarded.
01:18:18An outsider could never get in.
01:18:20Evelyn must have secretly colluded with the assassin.
01:18:22If not, for my husband's great reaction.
01:18:25You should have been executed by now.
01:18:28Chancellor Cogwell.
01:18:29I really don't know about the assassin.
01:18:31I beg you to grant me some time.
01:18:33I will cover the truth behind this matter.
01:18:35Enough.
01:18:36Made Evelyn Sterling colluded with the guard,
01:18:39disrupted palace order,
01:18:40and put the Empress Starwager in danger.
01:18:42Both of them are to be executed immediately.
01:18:52No.
01:18:53Chancellor, remark over order.
01:18:55Chancellor, I beg you.
01:18:57Chancellor.
01:18:57Chancellor, don't.
01:18:59Chancellor, please.
01:19:00Chancellor, please.
01:19:01Chancellor, please.
01:19:02Chancellor, please.
01:19:02Chancellor, please.
01:19:02Chancellor, please.
01:19:03Chancellor, please.
01:19:03Focus.
01:19:03Focus.
01:19:04I'm sorry.
01:19:05It's not my fault.
01:19:06I'm so sorry.
01:19:24Stop now.
01:19:26Don't you dare touch her.
01:19:27You're majesty.
01:19:30Long live your majesty.
01:19:37Long live your majesty.
01:19:39How dare you condemning the innocent without discerning right from wrong.
01:19:47This is totally outrageous.
01:19:55You keep going against Evelyn every turn.
01:19:58Today, if I weren't here, you would have gotten your way.
01:20:02Your majesty, I didn't meant to hurt my sister.
01:20:05Your majesty, Evelyn was in charge of the banquet.
01:20:07But she allowed assassins in to hurt the Empress Starwager.
01:20:10I thank you.
01:20:11Your majesty issue an order at once to imprison her for further interrogation.
01:20:15Chancellor was right.
01:20:16If it weren't for my husband's presence today, the Empress Starwager might not have survived.
01:20:20Your majesty, my life is of no consequence.
01:20:22But Evelyn must be punished.
01:20:23If this happens again, who will protect the palace?
01:20:37Please.
01:20:38You must punish Evelyn.
01:20:40Adrian Montague.
01:20:41Are you making decisions for me?
01:20:43The Empress Starwager has been traumatized today.
01:20:45If your majesty doesn't punish Evelyn, what if others follow her example?
01:20:49The consequences would be unimaginable.
01:20:51I request your majesty to punish Evelyn.
01:20:53I beg your majesty to punish Evelyn.
01:21:01Is that so?
01:21:03If I have evidence that Evelyn's innocent, what should you be punished for?
01:21:13Impossible.
01:21:15Nicholas.
01:21:16I'm asking you!
01:21:19They're fine.
01:21:20What's wrong about her?
01:21:22I'm willing to receive the same punishment.
01:21:24Okay.
01:21:26Come on.
01:21:27Read them to me.
01:21:30Your majesty is wise.
01:21:32Following your orders, I've already arranged for guards to capture the assassin.
01:21:38Your majesty, spare me.
01:21:40The assassination was all Josephine and Andrew's idea.
01:21:43I was truly forced into it.
01:21:44Your majesty, spare me.
01:21:45Your majesty, please.
01:21:46It's over.
01:21:47It's all over.
01:21:48Guards, take Nicholas away.
01:21:51Your majesty, I've been serving the royals for decades.
01:21:56I'm absolutely loyal.
01:21:58Your majesty, please.
01:21:59Don't do this to me.
01:22:00Your majesty.
01:22:02Her majesty.
01:22:07That's for you two.
01:22:09Your majesty.
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 of my sister.
01:22:16The assassination was all Adrian's idea.
01:22:19And taking the flu was 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 Montagueux, Josephine Sterling, as masterminds, will be executed right now.
01:22:32Law, Catherine, in the judicial court.
01:22:37Wait for further orders.
01:22:38Your majesty.
01:22:40Your majesty.
01:22:41Please give me a chance, your majesty.
01:22:42Your majesty.
01:22:43Your majesty.
01:22:43I hate you.
01:22:45I live down for you.
01:22:47All of this would have been mine.
01:22:48Your love.
01:22:49It's all because of yourself, not me.
01:22:54You brought all of this upon yourself.
01:23:04Evelyn.
01:23:05Hi.
01:23:10So, your majesty.
01:23:12What is your ruling?
01:23:17Lucian Prescott.
01:23:19Lucian Prescott.
01:23:22Now the criminals have been taken away.
01:23:24Your majesty and your highness.
01:23:26You can finally be together.
01:23:31My highness.
01:23:33From today onward.
01:23:35I will make you empress.
01:23:42Starting today, the concubines will be dismissed.
01:23:45The harem only has one leader.
01:23:50And that will be my empress.
01:23:53Greetings.
01:23:54Long live your highness.
01:23:56lleb.com.
01:23:56I will make you try to play outsource and that will be Вс卡.
01:23:59You will be وب Éo.
01:24:00I will be...
01:24:00No.
01:24:00Next turn.
01:24:05No there.
01:24:10No.
01:24:11No.
01:24:11No.
01:24:12No.
01:24:13No.
01:24:14No.
01:24:15No.
01:24:16No.
01:24:16No.
01:24:16No.
01:24:17No.
01:24:17No.
