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!
00:00:28Murder!
00:00:31Murder!
00:00:34Murder!
00:00:41Sister.
00:00:42Why-
00:00:43Don't tell 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 bridle bow, 3 years ago.
00:00:56This thing being covered is nothing but an illusion. If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.
00:01:26Master, 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.
00:01:39For 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 just three years ago? The very day of the husband seeking bridal bond?
00:01:54My lady, it's time to cast your ball.
00:02:00Sister, please let me go first.
00:02:04In my past life, Josephine insists that I go first, feigning modesty and humility. Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.
00:02:16Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me! Lady Josephine, come on!
00:02:26In this life, I have to marry Aegean!
00:02:29It's him! Adrian, second son of the Montagues!
00:02:41The Montague family are relatives of the royal family, which means we shall become royal kin as well!
00:02:46I actually altered my fate! Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank and I shall become a noble lady of honor!
00:02:56Josephine, you have screamed relentlessly. But little do you know, that you're gonna suffer a lot in the evil Montague family.
00:03:06Great, 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?
00:03:24You 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... that...
00:03:43Your 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.
00:03:56This is a perfect chance, to experience the life of ordinary folk.
00:04:00Hurry, you starlings are just the bridal ball for marriage!
00:04:02Let's have a look.
00:04:03In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal ball. 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 well 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.
00:04:31In 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.
00:05:08Oh, 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?
00:05:22Damn it! With so many people down there, how could you cast it to a beggar? Are you deliberately trying to shame me?
00:05:30What's done is done, sister. Do not be too upset. Though he is of lowly birth, but look, at least he got a pretty face.
00:05:38It is only a pity for you, sister, raising comfort and luxury. But 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? Everyone is watching. If she refuses, it's going to ruin their credit. Who would associate with them more?
00:06:01Hey! 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? Let's discard it.
00:06:11I'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! If he becomes my son-in-law, it's going to be a huge disgrace to us!
00:06:32In my past life, I was mistreated by the Montagues and used for Sterling's ambitions. Thinking back now, perhaps marrying a beggar would be better fate.
00:06:41The rule of the bridal ball is binding. Since he caught the ball, you should-
00:06:48I am willing to marry him!
00:06:51What?
00:06:52My name is Evelyn Sterling. What's yours?
00:07:02I am Lu-
00:07:04Lucas Prescott.
00:07:07With all present as my witnesses today, I, Evelyn Sterling. Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband?
00:07:18Are you serious?
00:07:19Yeah. 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?
00:08:00Evelyn, you're sure about this. Marrying this beggar, and your future is ruined!
00:08:07I do not believe that is true. Future won't be decided like that.
00:08:11Lucas, he may be in rags now, but I can see his humility and good manner. He's gonna make a difference, maybe.
00:08:19You are... Rule is rule. You're not eating your words, are you, sir?
00:08:25Indeed. 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! Indeed, marry him!
00:08:35Since you wanna 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.
00:08:55But marrying a beggar means you will spend your life beneath me.
00:09:01You should worry about yourself. Life with the Montague's is not as easy as you imagine.
00:09:08Hmph!
00:09:12You...
00:09:16In three days, remember to come to propose.
00:09:23It's her or Mother's pressing, so I might as well...
00:09:27Alright! I'll be there.
00:09:33Today, the second daughter of the Silent Family has to be wed.
00:09:36Her 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 Sterling family, but the difference between them is astonishing.
00:09:55Sister, after marrying a beggar, you will likely toil for the rest of your life. I wonder if you can even endure such life.
00:10:01It's the bridegroom. The bridegroom has arrived.
00:10:11Oh, as expected of the second son of the Montague family, the spectacle is grand indeed.
00:10:19Of course, the Montagues hold immense power. Marrying 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.
00:10:30My respects to my honor, father and mother-in-law.
00:10:33Please rise, my son-in-law.
00:10:35My son-in-law.
00:10:36Such an elaborate wedding procession is a spectacle worthy of Highgate.
00:10:40For 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?
00:10:54Could 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?
00:11:20Dressed in such rags, do you not feel ashamed?
00:11:22Compared to Lord Montague, you are as far apart as heaven and earth.
00:11:26Just what are you wearing in front of so many esteemed officials?
00:11:31Are you not bringing shame upon me?
00:11:33Today is your wedding day.
00:11:35And yet you came dressed like this?
00:11:37Do you not find this is a disgrace?
00:11:39Do you not finding this humiliating?
00:11:41Marriage is a lifelong commitment, building upon sincerity, not mere appearances.
00:11:45The 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.
00:11:56From the moment Evelyn steps beyond this threshold, she'll no longer be us, Sterling.
00:12:01The auspicious hour has arrived! Bring the bride to the carriage!
00:12:05This is the...
00:12:13Congratulations, Master Sterling. Your son-in-law is truly an exceptional man.
00:12:22Many thanks, Deputy Minister. Please come inside.
00:12:26Off to you.
00:12:28Surely 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?
00:12:37Unheard of.
00:12:39Indeed. Not like my husband.
00:12:46My lady, please, allow me to take you home.
00:12:49Bow to the heavens and the earth.
00:13:10Is this the place they've found us to live in?
00:13:13Bow to the elders.
00:13:16A shabby place like this? Is it even fit for a living?
00:13:22I just didn't 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.
00:13:42Not at all. I actually think it's rather spacious.
00:13:47At least, it shields us from the wind and rain.
00:13:51If we work hard from now on, keep this place tidy,
00:13:54it'll soon feel much more comfortable.
00:13:56At this moment, I have nothing of value to give you.
00:13:59This shade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:14:03I'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?
00:14:16Alright. I will cherish it well.
00:14:23You're up. Breakfast is ready. For you.
00:14:24You're up. Breakfast is ready. For you.
00:14:26You're up. Breakfast is ready. For you.
00:14:28Hey. Where are you going?
00:14:30Today is the wife's home.
00:14:32You're up. Breakfast is ready. For you.
00:14:35Hey. Where are you going?
00:14:40Today is the wife's home.
00:14:43You're up. Breakfast is ready. For you.
00:14:46You're up. Breakfast is ready. For you.
00:14:51Hey. Where are you going?
00:14:56Today is the wives' homecoming day. I made telemeds for my parents, but they're not quite finished.
00:15:01I need to buy some more threats and complete them before I return home.
00:15:05Alright. I'll go with you.
00:15:07Alright.
00:15:08Let's go.
00:15:09Greetings, Your Majesty!
00:15:16Greetings, Your Majesty!
00:15:21Greetings, Your Majesty!
00:15:23Who are they?
00:15:27The palace is too complicated. Once everything's settled, I'll reveal my identity to Evelyn.
00:15:31They are...
00:15:33They're here for Victor.
00:15:37Yes, yes. I used to serve in the palace. These are all old acquaintances.
00:15:48Evelyn, I'll help Victor to entertain the guests. Will you be alright buying threat on your own?
00:15:54Yes.
00:15:56Speak! What happened?
00:16:09The Empress Dowager distressed over Your Majesty's presence and suddenly collapsed.
00:16:12What?
00:16:13Victor, stay here and protect your Evelyn. Let's head back.
00:16:16Yes, Your Majesty.
00:16:17Get someone to deliver some valuable gifts to Sterling Estate. Say that they're Evelyn's homecoming gifts.
00:16:23Yes, Your Majesty.
00:16:24Let's go!
00:16:25Father!
00:16:26Mother!
00:16:27Your daughter has returned!
00:16:30Father!
00:16:32Why has Sister returned alone?
00:16:35Today is your homecoming day.
00:16:41Sister, why have you returned alone?
00:16:43Are you ashamed of your beggar husband?
00:16:46So you didn't even bring him to meet the family?
00:16:49My husband wanted to come, but something urgent came up.
00:16:52Since being married to the beggar, Lady Evelyn Sterling, must have suffered a great deal.
00:16:57You look much frailer than before.
00:17:01Had you not married that filthy beggar, perhaps I would have taken you as a concubine.
00:17:05At least you wouldn't have fallen to such a state.
00:17:07That will not be necessary. I am living well. As of for you, Sister, it has been quite a few days since you had seen your husband before.
00:17:16You...
00:17:17Screw you, Adrian. Went drinking with Coorsens on our wedding night, and now everyone knows! We are utterly humiliating me!
00:17:24Josephine.
00:17:30Father, Mother.
00:17:32Greetings to you both.
00:17:33Greetings to you both.
00:17:35You've returned alone. How can you still have the face to come back?
00:17:38What does your husband do all day? Not even accompanying you for your homecoming?
00:17:43Mother, you're thinking too highly of her. That filthy beggar is probably begging in the streets right now.
00:17:50How could he possibly compare to my husband?
00:17:53Father-in-law, your humble son-in-law has brought a small gift.
00:17:57Our dear Josephine has truly found herself a fine husband.
00:18:06For 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. This is my homecoming gift.
00:18:26Have you fallen into such poverty that you cannot even afford a proper homecoming gift?
00:18:38Father, Mother, these are the two protective talamans I made for you by hand. A blessing to you both. Wishing you peace and prosperity.
00:18:45Oh!
00:18:49Get out!
00:18:51What a disgrace!
00:18:53Sister, is this truly what you've brought? A few scraps of cloth with embroidery? How dare you present these?
00:19:00Well, she did marry a beggar. So her gift befits her status perfectly.
00:19:06Oh, right. She has married a beggar. What else could we expect from her?
00:19:11Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:19:16Master. Madam. Someone from the palace has arrived with gifts. They say they are the homecoming gift from Lady Evelyn.
00:19:22Eflin.
00:19:27Master Sterling, who exactly has your
00:19:29outest daughter married a mountain
00:19:30nobility? Even the palace saw fit to have
00:19:32me personally delivered these gifts to you.
00:19:34You must hold great influence indeed.
00:19:36Gifts from the palace? That must be from
00:19:38his majesty himself. It was personally
00:19:40arranged by the chief eunuch at his
00:19:41majesty's side. He said, for the
00:19:44Sterling family's
00:19:45outest daughter.
00:19:49Oh, Mr. Ashford,
00:19:51you must be mistaken.
00:19:54All of Highgate knows
00:19:55that Evelyn married a beggar.
00:19:58How could she possibly
00:19:59have ties to anyone in the palace?
00:20:02Oh, this
00:20:03must surely be a courtesy
00:20:05to young Master Montague.
00:20:10Indeed. In this
00:20:11world, those seeking favor with
00:20:13the Montague family are countless.
00:20:15Even those in the palace are paying their respects.
00:20:18Father-in-law, please accept
00:20:19with joy.
00:20:21Josephine has married a remarkable
00:20:24husband. Just look at the grandeur
00:20:26of her homecoming. Such lavish
00:20:28gifts. Our Sterling family
00:20:30is truly honored beyond measure.
00:20:33The gifts have been delivered. I shall
00:20:35take my leave.
00:20:37Oh, take care.
00:20:38Take care.
00:20:41Sister,
00:20:42my husband has prepared two sets
00:20:44of homecoming gifts. Seeing all
00:20:46these, do you not feel ashamed?
00:20:48What? It's not about the quality
00:20:49of gifts, but the sincerity
00:20:50behind them.
00:20:51I see nothing inappropriate
00:20:52in this.
00:20:54I've poured my heart and effort
00:20:55into raising you, and yet
00:20:56not only did you marry a beggar,
00:20:58but you even bring back
00:20:59these worthless rags to disgrace me.
00:21:01The Sterling family has no place
00:21:02for such a disgraceful daughter.
00:21:05Simply because I married Lucas,
00:21:07you feel justified to humiliate me
00:21:09like this.
00:21:09Josephine acts in the best interest
00:21:11of the Sterling family,
00:21:12unlike you who married a beggar,
00:21:14bringing disgrace upon us all.
00:21:16Disgrace.
00:21:19It's only because Josephine
00:21:20married into wealth
00:21:21that you so readily indulge her.
00:21:24Insolent, child!
00:21:25Such outrageous defiance!
00:21:26Who has put these ideas
00:21:28in your head?
00:21:28Is it not the truth?
00:21:31In your eyes,
00:21:33a daughter is nothing more
00:21:34than a pawn to suck
00:21:35your power and favor.
00:21:37Outrageous!
00:21:38How dare you
00:21:39speak to your father
00:21:41in such a manner!
00:21:41A dragon jade pendant?
00:21:49Outrageous!
00:21:51No, I must inform
00:21:52his majesty.
00:21:55Give it back to me!
00:21:57This jade pendant
00:21:58looks of fine quality.
00:22:01From where did you steal it, sister?
00:22:03That is from Lucas.
00:22:05Give it back!
00:22:06That wretched beggar?
00:22:09He will never
00:22:10possess such a fine pendant.
00:22:12He must have stolen it
00:22:14from somewhere.
00:22:15Would right have you
00:22:15to make such rash accusations.
00:22:17Lucas may not be
00:22:18of noble birth like you,
00:22:19but you believe
00:22:20that possessing a jade pendant
00:22:21is a rightful due.
00:22:22Yet Lucas is not
00:22:22worthy of the same.
00:22:23A worthless beggar's gift,
00:22:25and you treat it
00:22:26like a treasure.
00:22:26How ignorant.
00:22:28You want the pendant?
00:22:29Very well.
00:22:30But you must sever
00:22:31all ties with the Sterlings.
00:22:33Yes.
00:22:34You.
00:22:38Father,
00:22:40will you truly indulge
00:22:41Josephine's audacity?
00:22:43Am I not also
00:22:44your daughter?
00:22:45You insisted
00:22:46on marrying a beggar.
00:22:48Bringing shame
00:22:49upon the Sterling family,
00:22:50you are unworthy
00:22:51to be my daughter.
00:22:52On this day forth,
00:22:53I have only one daughter,
00:22:55Josephine.
00:22:55For the rest of my life,
00:23:04I seek only to be
00:23:05with the one
00:23:06who is true of heart.
00:23:07Even if I must live
00:23:08on plain fare,
00:23:09it is better than
00:23:10enduring cold disdain
00:23:12in the Sterlings,
00:23:13since that is the case.
00:23:14I, Evelyn Sterling,
00:23:25sever all ties
00:23:27with the Sterling family.
00:23:29We are here
00:23:30and forth strangers.
00:23:31All for the sake
00:23:41of a worthless beggar.
00:23:43You would sever
00:23:44ties with us?
00:23:45It is fortunate
00:23:46we never placed
00:23:47our hopes in you.
00:23:51Is that not
00:23:52what Father
00:23:52has always thought of?
00:23:53Why should I remain here
00:23:54only to be
00:23:55an eyesore to him?
00:23:58Hold it.
00:23:59Now that you wish
00:24:00to leave,
00:24:01I fear it is too late.
00:24:03Guards,
00:24:04bring the burning charcoal
00:24:06from the kitchen.
00:24:07Scatter them
00:24:07across the board.
00:24:09What are you trying to do?
00:24:12Your Majesty,
00:24:13something here
00:24:14of course happened.
00:24:14Lady Evelyn
00:24:15was humiliated
00:24:15at the Sterling estate.
00:24:22One's body and soul
00:24:23are bestowed
00:24:23by one's parents.
00:24:25If you wish
00:24:25to sever ties,
00:24:27you must first
00:24:27repay your parents
00:24:28kindness.
00:24:30My Lady speaks
00:24:31most reasonably.
00:24:32Given your current state,
00:24:33it would be far too much
00:24:34to expect that you
00:24:35present anything
00:24:36of great value.
00:24:37Then you have no choice
00:24:38but to walk barefoot
00:24:39across this bed
00:24:40of burning charcoal.
00:24:43It is pleasing
00:24:44so fiercely.
00:24:45How could anyone
00:24:46survive walking
00:24:46across them?
00:24:47I will not walk.
00:24:50Oh?
00:24:51It seems,
00:24:52dear sister,
00:24:53that you no longer
00:24:54want this jade pendant.
00:24:56stop!
00:25:00Lucas is the only one
00:25:02who has ever
00:25:02treated me well.
00:25:04This jade pendant
00:25:04was left to him
00:25:05by his parents.
00:25:06Farewell.
00:25:07I will never allow
00:25:08his heartfelt gift
00:25:09to be trampled.
00:25:09I will walk.
00:25:11I will walk.
00:25:20Hyah!
00:25:21Hyah!
00:25:24Hyah!
00:25:25For the sake
00:25:32of a filthy beggar,
00:25:33you would go
00:25:34to such lengths?
00:25:35You must have
00:25:35lost your mind.
00:25:37For a mere jade pendant,
00:25:39a lady born
00:25:40into privilege
00:25:41would willingly walk
00:25:42across burning charcoal.
00:25:43No wonder
00:25:44she was foolish enough
00:25:45to marry a mere beggar.
00:25:46After all,
00:25:47what does a beggar
00:25:47have to his name
00:25:49but worthless trinkets?
00:25:50This jade pendant
00:25:51is likely his most
00:25:53treasured possession.
00:25:54No wonder
00:25:55dear sister
00:25:56cherishes it so.
00:25:58The jade pendant
00:25:59was left to me
00:26:00by my father.
00:26:01I've carried it
00:26:02with me
00:26:02all these years.
00:26:04And now,
00:26:05I'm giving it to you.
00:26:14For me,
00:26:15my lady.
00:26:17Lucas,
00:26:18do not worry.
00:26:20I will reclaim
00:26:21the jade pendant.
00:26:24Can you
00:26:33return the jade pendant
00:26:36to me now?
00:26:38You want it?
00:26:41Then crawl over
00:26:42and take it.
00:26:43As long as you crawl over,
00:26:45this jade pendant
00:26:45will be yours.
00:26:47The jade pendant
00:27:03was left to me
00:27:04of my father.
00:27:05I've carried it
00:27:05with me
00:27:05all these years.
00:27:07And now,
00:27:08I'm giving it to you.
00:27:12All right.
00:27:13I will cherish it well.
00:27:15you claim to cherish
00:27:29your love for that filthy beggar.
00:27:43But if you were disfigured,
00:27:46would your dearest husband
00:27:47still want you?
00:27:49Yeah.
00:27:50Why are you looking
00:27:51at 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
00:27:58to 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're getting your way?
00:28:06I want you to spend
00:28:09the rest of your days
00:28:10wallowing in the gutter,
00:28:12watching as I rise
00:28:13to become the most
00:28:13esteemed woman
00:28:14in the world.
00:28:24His majesty has arrived!
00:28:32Who dares lay a hand
00:28:33on my woman?
00:28:34Evelyn!
00:28:38I'm sorry.
00:28:39I'm late.
00:28:42Just leave.
00:28:43Lucas.
00:28:45I didn't lose
00:28:46your Jake pendant.
00:28:52Did they say
00:28:53it was his majesty?
00:28:54How could it be him?
00:28:55That beggar
00:28:56is dressed in
00:28:57such luxurious robes.
00:28:58And those men,
00:28:59are they the Imperial Guards?
00:29:01Why would they take
00:29:02orders from a beggar?
00:29:02I heard that filthy beggar's
00:29:04brother once served
00:29:04in the palace.
00:29:05Is it natural for him
00:29:06to procure some robes?
00:29:07That wretch beggar
00:29:08has suffered
00:29:09humiliation last time
00:29:10and now
00:29:11he has come
00:29:11to regain his dignity?
00:29:12Ha!
00:29:13What a joke!
00:29:14A mere beggar
00:29:15daring to put on
00:29:16an act in the
00:29:16sterling estate?
00:29:17Look at the fine
00:29:18husband you've chosen.
00:29:19Useless is one thing,
00:29:21but to be so audacious
00:29:22as to steal
00:29:23from the Imperial Palace?
00:29:24If his majesty
00:29:25were to find out,
00:29:26do you really believe
00:29:27you will be spared?
00:29:27Deviant fools.
00:29:28You're doomed!
00:29:29You!
00:29:32What do you think
00:29:33you're doing?
00:29:34Evelyn,
00:29:34come with me.
00:29:36Evelyn,
00:29:37what's wrong?
00:29:47Who did this?
00:29:49Lucas.
00:29:49Yes, 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
00:30:02a burning charcoal?
00:30:04I wonder what
00:30:05she was thinking.
00:30:06Such a fool.
00:30:06Silence!
00:30:07And who do you 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
00:30:21to kill you here
00:30:21and now,
00:30:22you ought to kneel
00:30:23and sack me for it.
00:30:24Let's see how much
00:30:24longer you can
00:30:25keep up this charade.
00:30:26Guard!
00:30:26Seize this filthy beggar
00:30:28Neville and Sterling!
00:30:29Wait.
00:30:33How dare you
00:30:34humiliate my lady?
00:30:37Seize them!
00:30:38Seize them!
00:30:39Oh!
00:30:42How dare you!
00:30:43I'm Lady Joseph
00:30:44and Montag!
00:30:45The husband save me!
00:30:48You filthy beggar!
00:30:49Guards!
00:30:50Whoever kills him
00:30:50for me,
00:30:50I shall reward him
00:30:51with ten tails of gold.
00:30:56Insulin, wretch!
00:30:57Lord Montague
00:30:58is of royal lineage!
00:30:59Who dare lay a hand
00:31:00on him,
00:31:00you shall make an enemy
00:31:01of the entire
00:31:02Montague family!
00:31:03And what of it?
00:31:05Anyone 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,
00:31:16release me at once!
00:31:17I might disappear
00:31:17your life!
00:31:18You've tortured
00:31:19Evelyn
00:31:19to such wretched state!
00:31:21Press their faces!
00:31:23Straight into
00:31:23the burning charcoal!
00:31:27No!
00:31:28Oh!
00:31:29No!
00:31:30No!
00:31:30What are you doing?
00:31:31No!
00:31:32Stop!
00:31:32Once the traditional
00:31:33court 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?
00:31:41I'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
00:31:55Stoney 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 Guards.
00:32:19Why are they here?
00:32:20Yes.
00:32:21I summoned them.
00:32:23That voice.
00:32:24Could it be
00:32:25your majesty?
00:32:27Your majesty?
00:32:30The Emperor?
00:32:34How could this
00:32:35filthy beggar...
00:32:36Brother,
00:32:37don't let this
00:32:38filthy 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.
00:32:59You...
00:32:59I'll see how
00:33:00you plan 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
00:33:14act so 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
00:33:29possibly know
00:33:30about court appointments?
00:33:31My brother
00:33:31was appointed
00:33:32by the Empress Dowager
00:33:33herself.
00:33:34What now?
00:33:34Regret finally sinking in?
00:33:36Even the Empress Dowager
00:33:37was deceived.
00:33:39Your Montague family
00:33:40truly is impressive.
00:33:45Empress Dowager,
00:33:46please speak up
00:33:47for your subject.
00:33:48His Majesty
00:33:49outside the palace
00:33:50married the eldest daughter
00:33:50of the Sterling family.
00:33:51Because that woman
00:33:52and His Majesty
00:33:53even lashed out?
00:33:53I said His Majesty
00:33:54married another woman
00:33:55outside the palace.
00:33:57Guards!
00:33:57Prepare the Sedan.
00:34:01Insolent.
00:34:02How dare you offend
00:34:03the Emperor Dowager?
00:34:04Are you trying to get yourself killed?
00:34:05Lord Montague,
00:34:06please see clearly.
00:34:08Our Sterling family
00:34:09has long severed ties
00:34:10with Evelyn Sterling.
00:34:11Every word she says
00:34:12has nothing to do with us.
00:34:14That's right,
00:34:14my lord.
00:34:14Our Sterling family
00:34:15has always followed the rules.
00:34:17We would never dare
00:34:18speak against
00:34:18the royal family.
00:34:19Please see the truth,
00:34:20my lord.
00:34:21The President and the Royalty
00:34:22is the capital of crime.
00:34:23You must not let them go,
00:34:24my lord.
00:34:24Evelyn Sterling,
00:34:25your dear husband
00:34:25has now committed
00:34:26a heinous crime.
00:34:28No matter who comes today,
00:34:30they cannot save you.
00:34:32I can't.
00:34:33I can't.
00:34:33I can't.
00:34:33I can't.
00:34:33I can't.
00:34:33Lucas break up behind
00:34:34Sparris, my lord.
00:34:36He didn't mean to offend...
00:34:38Evelyn!
00:34:44Evelyn,
00:34:45let's go.
00:34:46How dare you!
00:34:47Trying to run?
00:34:47Guards,
00:34:48stop them.
00:34:49Whoever dares to block us again,
00:34:51kill without mercy.
00:34:52Yes, sir.
00:34:56Trying to escape?
00:34:58It's not that easy.
00:35:04Lucas.
00:35:09Lucas,
00:35:10Lucas.
00:35:12Josephine Sterling,
00:35:13why is your heart so vicious?
00:35:15Lucas has no grievance with you,
00:35:16yet you harms him so cruelly.
00:35:17This filthy beggar
00:35:19actually tried to have
00:35:19some disfigure me?
00:35:21Of course I couldn't let you leave.
00:35:23Lucas.
00:35:27Stop looking.
00:35:28Your man won't be here
00:35:29to save you this time.
00:35:30You've got a death wish.
00:35:32Lucas.
00:35:34Well, you still can't...
00:35:35Hurry and go.
00:35:35I can't.
00:35:36Go?
00:35:37You still think he can go?
00:35:38Josephine Sterling.
00:35:39Josephine Sterling.
00:35:42Why won't you just let me go?
00:35:46I have to admit,
00:35:48sister,
00:35:49you're truly fortunate
00:35:50of marrying a beggar
00:35:51you still found true love.
00:35:53What a pity.
00:35:54The more you're like this,
00:35:55the more impossible it is
00:35:56for me to let you have your way.
00:35:58You...
00:35:58Josephine,
00:36:00the grudge between us
00:36:01should not involve others.
00:36:03You can do whatever you want
00:36:04to me.
00:36:05I beg you.
00:36:06Let Lucas go, please.
00:36:08Avalyn,
00:36:09you don't need to
00:36:10waste your breath on her.
00:36:11I can't drag you into this.
00:36:12How touching.
00:36:14Even at a time like this.
00:36:16You still have time
00:36:17to flirt with this filthy beggar?
00:36:19Since you're feeling wrong
00:36:20so deep,
00:36:22I might as well
00:36:22send you both
00:36:23to death together.
00:36:26What are you waiting for?
00:36:28Die!
00:36:29I will watch out!
00:36:30The Emperor Stowager
00:36:33has arrived!
00:36:34I'd like to see
00:36:35who dares harm
00:36:36my royal son.
00:36:40He really is the Emperor?
00:36:44He...
00:36:45He really is the Emperor?
00:36:47Evelyn!
00:36:47Evelyn!
00:36:48Imperial physician!
00:36:50Call the Imperial physician
00:36:51quickly!
00:36:51Your Majesty!
00:36:52Victor Langley,
00:36:53I ordered her
00:36:54immediately send her
00:36:55back for treatment.
00:36:56If anything happens to her,
00:36:57I'll make sure you pay.
00:36:58Your servitor, Bakes!
00:36:59Come, come, come!
00:37:00Hurry!
00:37:03Your Majesty,
00:37:04all members of the
00:37:05Starling family
00:37:05have been arrested.
00:37:07Your Majesty?
00:37:08Your...
00:37:09Your Majesty?
00:37:11What?
00:37:12You called him?
00:37:13Your Majesty!
00:37:14Wasn't he a beggar?
00:37:15Pass down my decree.
00:37:17Sebastian Serding
00:37:17and his family
00:37:18are executed on the spot.
00:37:20Master!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:25Admin Montague,
00:37:26as an official of the court,
00:37:27you abused your power
00:37:28and aided evil
00:37:29from this day forth.
00:37:30You are stripped
00:37:31of your duty,
00:37:32imprisoned,
00:37:33along the Montague
00:37:33in the judicial court.
00:37:34Spare me,
00:37:35Your Majesty.
00:37:35Spare me.
00:37:36Please,
00:37:37Spare me,
00:37:37Your Majesty!
00:37:38I beg,
00:37:39Your Majesty,
00:37:39to revoke the order!
00:37:41It was my fault!
00:37:43I failed to see the truth!
00:37:46Your Majesty!
00:37:47When you humiliated
00:37:48Evelyn back then,
00:37:49did you ever think
00:37:50this day would come?
00:37:53Impossible!
00:37:54Given a second chance
00:37:55to life,
00:37:56how can I still
00:37:56make the wrong choice?
00:37:58Empress Dowager,
00:37:59I did commit
00:37:59a grave offense,
00:38:00but it was all
00:38:01under the orders
00:38:01of the Starling family.
00:38:02Empress Dowager,
00:38:03please,
00:38:03for the sake
00:38:04of my father's honor,
00:38:05spare me once!
00:38:06I beg,
00:38:07Your Majesty,
00:38:08and Empress Dowager
00:38:08for mercy!
00:38:09Please,
00:38:09have mercy,
00:38:10Empress Dowager!
00:38:10My son,
00:38:14although the two
00:38:15unfilial sons
00:38:16of the Montague family
00:38:17are foolish,
00:38:17they were not
00:38:18the masterminds.
00:38:19They should be punished
00:38:20lighter.
00:38:20The Starling family
00:38:21is a household
00:38:22of commoners.
00:38:23To execute them all
00:38:24is indeed lacking
00:38:25consideration for the women.
00:38:27I saw that woman
00:38:28who was badly injured,
00:38:29my son.
00:38:30You should go
00:38:30tend to her quickly.
00:38:37Huh!
00:38:40Lucas,
00:38:50are you alright?
00:38:51Are you alright?
00:38:52Did you get hurt?
00:38:53I'm fine.
00:38:54Lie down quickly.
00:38:54The Imperial's physician
00:38:55said you have to lie down.
00:38:57Come on!
00:38:58Imperial physician?
00:39:01What is going on?
00:39:03Why are we in the palace?
00:39:05What exactly happened?
00:39:08It was the Empress Dowager
00:39:09who saved us.
00:39:10The Empress Dowager?
00:39:13You want to make
00:39:14Evelyn Sterling
00:39:15your Empress?
00:39:16I absolutely
00:39:16do not approve.
00:39:18I pledge myself
00:39:19to Evelyn
00:39:20for life in private.
00:39:22Whether you approve
00:39:22or not,
00:39:23I will overcome
00:39:23all obstacles
00:39:24to make Evelyn
00:39:25my Empress.
00:39:26You!
00:39:29If you truly
00:39:30wish to make
00:39:30her Empress,
00:39:31she must pass
00:39:32my test.
00:39:34But,
00:39:34before that,
00:39:39you must not
00:39:39let her know
00:39:40your identity.
00:39:42Otherwise,
00:39:43I have plenty
00:39:44of ways
00:39:45to stop you.
00:39:48She left the palace
00:39:49to pray.
00:39:50Just happened to walk
00:39:51by the Sterling State.
00:39:52That's how she saved us.
00:39:55Then,
00:39:56what about my father
00:39:59and the others?
00:40:00The Empress Dowager
00:40:00gave the order
00:40:01to have them all
00:40:02beaten 50 strikes each.
00:40:03Adrian Montague
00:40:04frequented
00:40:04the pleasure districts.
00:40:05His body
00:40:06couldn't take it
00:40:06and he fainted.
00:40:07The Empress Dowager
00:40:08ordered him
00:40:08to be put in confinement
00:40:09and your sister
00:40:10was also sent
00:40:11to the Office of Discipline
00:40:12to do hard labor.
00:40:13And for your father
00:40:14and the others,
00:40:15they were exiled.
00:40:17Exiled?
00:40:17Avalyn,
00:40:21from now on,
00:40:22I will protect you.
00:40:25I asked the Empress Dowager
00:40:26for a position
00:40:27and assigned you
00:40:28to the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:40:30From now on,
00:40:30the two of us
00:40:31will be working
00:40:31in the palace.
00:40:35That's wonderful.
00:40:36When the time comes,
00:40:38we may work
00:40:38in the palace
00:40:39for three to five years.
00:40:40Then we can leave together
00:40:41and live a simple life.
00:40:43Okay.
00:40:47Avalyn,
00:40:51I hope
00:40:52you can forgive me.
00:40:58Avalyn,
00:40:59when I have some free time,
00:41:00I'll come to see you.
00:41:02Alright.
00:41:05Greets!
00:41:14Guests should notify us
00:41:15before touring
00:41:16the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:41:20This one here
00:41:21is the steward
00:41:21of the Bureau,
00:41:22Ma'am Langston.
00:41:23If you need anything,
00:41:24just go to her.
00:41:27Greetings,
00:41:27Ma'am Langston.
00:41:30This one here
00:41:30is the newly arrived maid,
00:41:32Evelyn Sterling.
00:41:33In the days to come,
00:41:34please take good care
00:41:35of her,
00:41:35Ma'am Langston.
00:41:37Rest assured,
00:41:38I will take good care
00:41:39of Miss Evelyn.
00:41:40I definitely
00:41:41won't let her
00:41:42do heavy work.
00:41:43Lucas,
00:41:48I came here
00:41:50to work,
00:41:51right?
00:41:51Why does it feel like
00:41:52I'm being treated
00:41:53like a mistress?
00:41:58She...
00:41:59Maybe she's
00:42:02a nice person.
00:42:08Miss Evelyn,
00:42:09please come with me.
00:42:11Go ahead.
00:42:13Go ahead.
00:42:27You...
00:42:28Clean all of these
00:42:28thoroughly.
00:42:29You and I both work
00:42:31at the Imperial
00:42:32Household Bureau.
00:42:33The tasks are
00:42:33assigned in advance.
00:42:34Why should I be
00:42:35the one to do your work?
00:42:36You've got the nerves
00:42:37to ask?
00:42:37It's because of you
00:42:38that I ended up
00:42:39cleaning the toilet bowl.
00:42:40Some people must have
00:42:41used certain means
00:42:42to land a post here
00:42:43and somehow even
00:42:44earned Ma'am Langston's
00:42:45favor.
00:42:45She got all the
00:42:46Yeez's work
00:42:46assigned to you.
00:42:53Hey!
00:42:54Hey!
00:42:59Give it back to me!
00:43:07The Dragon Jade Pendant?
00:43:09There's something
00:43:09only His Majesty
00:43:10can wear.
00:43:11Hurry in and
00:43:11inform Ma'am Langston.
00:43:12Someone is stealing!
00:43:14Oh, Majesty!
00:43:15Give it back to me!
00:43:16Right now!
00:43:16What are you waiting
00:43:31for?
00:43:32Grab her!
00:43:34Everyone,
00:43:34stop right there!
00:43:41Your Grace,
00:43:42the Imperial Household Bureau
00:43:44is such a crude place.
00:43:45You have never come
00:43:46here before.
00:43:47It might harm
00:43:48your noble health.
00:43:49Allow me to announce
00:43:50your arrival.
00:43:51No need.
00:43:52This time,
00:43:53I am disguised
00:43:53as a Bureau Matron
00:43:54because I want to
00:43:55truly know
00:43:56Evelyn Sterling.
00:43:58She must never
00:43:59learn of my identity.
00:44:08Palace rules
00:44:09are strict.
00:44:10I was only gone
00:44:11for a little while.
00:44:12And you dare
00:44:13behave so wildly.
00:44:14What do you take
00:44:15the Imperial Household Bureau
00:44:16for?
00:44:16Ma'am,
00:44:17she stole
00:44:17His Majesty's
00:44:18Jade Pendant.
00:44:21The one thing
00:44:21most forbidden
00:44:22in the harm
00:44:23is Eve.
00:44:23She feared
00:44:24being exposed
00:44:24and even tried
00:44:25to harm me.
00:44:26Ma'am,
00:44:27you must punish
00:44:28her properly.
00:44:29Ma'am Langston,
00:44:30please let me explain.
00:44:32This isn't
00:44:32what happened.
00:44:33Enough!
00:44:34Hand over
00:44:35the Jade Pendant.
00:44:39The Pendant
00:44:40belongs to me.
00:44:43I said
00:44:44hand over
00:44:45the Jade Pendant.
00:45:00The Dragon
00:45:01Jade Pendant.
00:45:01It truly
00:45:02belongs to
00:45:03His Majesty.
00:45:04The Dragon
00:45:05Jade Pendant.
00:45:06It truly
00:45:06belongs to
00:45:07His Majesty.
00:45:08The Emperor
00:45:09even gave her
00:45:10something this
00:45:10important?
00:45:11She even
00:45:12dares to steal
00:45:13His Majesty's
00:45:13Pendant.
00:45:14In the future,
00:45:15who knows what
00:45:15outrageous things
00:45:16she might do.
00:45:17Palace rules
00:45:18are very clear.
00:45:19Anyone caught
00:45:20stealing goods
00:45:20worth more than
00:45:21one dollar
00:45:21will have their
00:45:22left foot cut off
00:45:23and be branded.
00:45:24Ma'am,
00:45:25please listen
00:45:26to my explanation.
00:45:27This pendant
00:45:27was given to me
00:45:28by someone
00:45:28very dear to me.
00:45:29It was definitely
00:45:31not stolen.
00:45:32I truly
00:45:32don't know
00:45:33how I could
00:45:33belong to
00:45:33His Majesty.
00:45:34We confirm
00:45:35the Pendant
00:45:35belongs to
00:45:36my son.
00:45:37Wouldn't that
00:45:37expose us
00:45:38to your identity?
00:45:39No.
00:45:40We can't rely
00:45:41on the object
00:45:41to prove
00:45:42there was
00:45:42theft involved.
00:45:43I'll thoroughly
00:45:44investigate this
00:45:45matter until
00:45:45the truth
00:45:46is found.
00:45:47The Pendant
00:45:47will remain
00:45:48with me.
00:45:48If you are
00:45:49truly innocent,
00:45:50I will make
00:45:50things right
00:45:51for you.
00:45:52Thank you,
00:45:53Ma'am.
00:45:54This is
00:45:54the new
00:45:55steward,
00:45:55Madam
00:45:56Williams.
00:45:56From now
00:45:57on,
00:45:57she will work
00:45:58with me
00:45:58to manage
00:45:59the Bureau.
00:45:59All of you
00:46:00behave yourselves.
00:46:01Anyone who
00:46:02tries to be
00:46:02sneaky or lazy
00:46:03will be punished
00:46:04according to
00:46:04palace rules.
00:46:06Yes,
00:46:06Ma'am.
00:46:11Your bullying
00:46:12of your colleague
00:46:13has not been
00:46:14settled yet.
00:46:14You are to
00:46:14clean toilet bowl
00:46:15as punishment.
00:46:16You may eat
00:46:17only when you
00:46:17finish.
00:46:21Yes,
00:46:21Ma'am.
00:46:21your majesty,
00:46:27I'm going to
00:46:27go.
00:46:27Oh,
00:46:28isn't this much
00:46:41better?
00:46:41Oh,
00:46:42isn't this much
00:46:42better?
00:46:42Your Majesty, Miss Caldwell has come to the palace again today. Do you wish to see her?
00:46:55No. Tell her to go back to where she came from.
00:46:58This...
00:46:59You. Go back. I'm going to see Avalyn. If you follow me, you'll expose my identity.
00:47:05Out of the way.
00:47:09Avalyn. Avalyn.
00:47:12Lucas. Why are you here?
00:47:19How can Madam Langston let you do this kind of work? I'll go speak with her. I'll go speak with her.
00:47:26Lucas. It's just cleaning a toilet bowl is not a big deal.
00:47:32Avalyn.
00:47:36I...
00:47:42I'm sorry you had to endure this. I promise I'll find a way to get you out of here as soon as possible.
00:47:49By the way, the Jade Pendant of yours... What's the story behind it?
00:47:54Why is it that they keep saying that the Pendant belongs to His Majesty?
00:47:59Uh, my father... My father once won first place in the Imperial Exam.
00:48:03To encourage outstanding scholars, His Majesty rewarded him with the Jade Pendant.
00:48:07This is how it came into our hands.
00:48:08Oh, I see. All they say is His Majesty, His Majesty. I thought maybe you were lying to me.
00:48:18Who's there?
00:48:22It's Madam Willems. Hurry up, go. Come let her see you.
00:48:25Tomorrow. I'll come to see you tomorrow again.
00:48:27Madam Willems. All the toilet bowls have been cleaned.
00:48:38Cleaned already?
00:48:40Then go sweep the entire back courtyard.
00:48:46Yes, ma'am.
00:48:49Finally done with everything.
00:48:57Why are you throwing my things?
00:49:04Madam Willems gave orders herself.
00:49:06She said at first light tomorrow, you're to deliver her medicine.
00:49:08Ma'am said, the medicine must be boiled with morning dew.
00:49:12Tonight, you should wait outside.
00:49:13Morning too.
00:49:16Morning too.
00:49:18Everyone heard it.
00:49:19I'm not making it up.
00:49:20Why is Madam Willems always picking on me?
00:49:23Madam Willems already showed me mercy by...
00:49:25Not punishing for the theft last time.
00:49:27All she asked was for you to collect the morning dew.
00:49:29You should be grateful.
00:49:30The pendant wasn't stolen at all.
00:49:31Stop falsely accusing me.
00:49:33Not stolen?
00:49:33Are you saying His Majesty gave it to you himself?
00:49:41The night air is damped with dew.
00:49:47I'm going inside to get my own blanket.
00:49:48Is that not allowed?
00:49:50What arrogance.
00:49:51This is the Imperial Palace.
00:49:52There's no such thing as yours or mine.
00:49:54Don't think that just because Madam Willems
00:49:55so you can do whatever you want.
00:49:57Who said you could come in?
00:50:00Move aside.
00:50:08Avalyn!
00:50:11Avalyn.
00:50:12Are you alright?
00:50:14Who did this?
00:50:16Victor Langley, why is he here?
00:50:18Could it be that he is...
00:50:20You want to die?
00:50:21You want to die?
00:50:23Your Majesty!
00:50:29You're the Emperor.
00:50:32You're His Majesty.
00:50:35Insolent servant!
00:50:39You must never let her discover your true identity.
00:50:42My deepest apologies, Your Majesty.
00:50:54I merely saw someone injured and acted out of concern.
00:50:59Fortunately, it wasn't His Majesty.
00:51:01But has Master Langley been by His Majesty's side?
00:51:05Master Langley, what is going on here?
00:51:09Oh, this young guy in here, he makes a strike in resemblance to His Majesty.
00:51:14I specifically brought him to the palace to interrogate him.
00:51:17Uh-uh.
00:51:18Hey, you, the new one.
00:51:20How can you be so ignorant of the rules?
00:51:21Don't you notice you behave yourself here?
00:51:23I humbly apologize.
00:51:25I acknowledge my error.
00:51:27Madam Langston, I beg your pardon.
00:51:29It's entirely my fault for causing this young officer concern.
00:51:32If you understand your error, then leave at once.
00:51:44As for you...
00:51:48Fragenizing with the guards is a grave matter.
00:51:50Yet, Madam Williams merely punished her with kneeling.
00:51:53The last time she stole a jade pendant, that incident was also swept under the rug.
00:51:58Tell me, if His Majesty knew she had stolen his jade pendant, how do you think he would handle her?
00:52:13I shall inform His Majesty at once.
00:52:16It was you who stole his jade pendant.
00:52:17Let us see if he will still let you off so easily.
00:52:20Ah!
00:52:22Ah, my face!
00:52:24My face!
00:52:25Ah, my face!
00:52:27Ah, my face!
00:52:28Ah!
00:52:29You foolish serpent!
00:52:30What have you put in this bowl?
00:52:32I-I obtained a recipe from a tallist who claimed it could enhance one's beauty when consumed.
00:52:37I only wished to do what was best for Madam Williams, which is why I acted so foolishly.
00:52:45How dare you serve something of unknown origin to ma'am if this rash on her face does not fade?
00:52:51How will you atone for this?
00:52:53Madam!
00:52:54Guards!
00:52:54Drag her away and sell her to a slave trader!
00:52:57Madam Williams, have mercy!
00:52:59Madam, have mercy, please!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:02Madam, have mercy!
00:53:04Madam!
00:53:04May I be permitted to try?
00:53:11You?
00:53:14You?
00:53:15I've studied medical texts, and I can prepare herbal remedy that might alleviate the rash on your face.
00:53:23If-
00:53:24If my myths prove effective, I beg you, Madam, to spare Isabella's life.
00:53:32His majesty has not paid me attention for a long time, yet I hear he has recently been visiting Imperial Household Bureau.
00:53:50Tell me who could be in the Imperial Household Bureau to capture his majesty's interest so deeply.
00:53:55I don't know!
00:53:56I know nothing!
00:53:57Speak!
00:53:58I-I remember now!
00:54:03There is indeed someone who dares to do such a thing!
00:54:06Oh?
00:54:06It may not look appealing, but it is true that the rash has faded somewhat.
00:54:24It seems you do have some skill.
00:54:27Thank you for your praise, Madam.
00:54:29Adam, you need to only wait six more hours, and the rash will completely disappear.
00:54:34What are you trying to do now?
00:54:55If it weren't for you today, I might have already been taken away.
00:55:06As for what happened before, I owe you an apology.
00:55:09I will accept any punishment or scolding you see fit.
00:55:19Why would I stay?
00:55:20Sir, you're willing to forgive me?
00:55:27You're not entirely a bad person.
00:55:30It's just that your words can be utterly vicious.
00:55:42Let's go.
00:55:42I'll see you in a chestnut cake.
00:56:01It was her!
00:56:03It was you who seduced his majesty.
00:56:17With us stuck the face of yours.
00:56:19No wonder you can't stay out of trouble.
00:56:21His majesty finding a bride outside the palace is not me.
00:56:24But when did your lowly servants dare to entertain such wicked thoughts?
00:56:29When did Evelyn ever seduce his majesty?
00:56:30Isabella, have you forgotten how much we suffered because of her?
00:56:34Evelyn never once provoked me intentionally.
00:56:35It was you who kept taking fights deliberately.
00:56:39Isabella!
00:56:41Do you even know who I am?
00:56:43How dare you act so insolently in my presence?
00:56:46Susan.
00:56:50Wait!
00:56:51The person standing before you is Lady Caldwell.
00:56:54Daughter of Chancellor Caldwell.
00:56:55She's the one the Empress Dodge Rager has chosen to be Empress.
00:56:59What a fool.
00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell is the esteemed daughter of the Chancellor.
00:57:02Surely you are a reasonable person.
00:57:04We have never even met his majesty.
00:57:05So how could there be any talk of seduction?
00:57:07I beg you Lady Caldwell, spare me.
00:57:10I heard from Eleanor that you not only seduced his majesty,
00:57:13but also entangled yourself with the guards.
00:57:15That face of yours is too dangerous to keep.
00:57:24Stop!
00:57:24The Imperial Household Bureau is part of the harem.
00:57:45Since when is it your place to interfere?
00:57:48A mere old servant.
00:57:50There is to raise your voice in front of me?
00:57:52You!
00:57:52How dare you!
00:57:54His majesty and I grew up together.
00:57:56I am the only candidate for emphasis.
00:57:58The harm will be mine sooner or later.
00:58:00Dealing the lowly maid is nothing to me.
00:58:02Preposterous!
00:58:04Do you even know who stands before you?
00:58:07Aren't you just a lowborn servant?
00:58:11If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never learn your place.
00:58:14Restrainer as well.
00:58:16Eleanor, you wouldn't dare.
00:58:18I never expected you to be so venomous at heart.
00:58:26Her majesty truly misjudged you.
00:58:29You dare call yourself her majesty?
00:58:31Who are you taking yourself for?
00:58:32The Empress Dowager?
00:58:38A disfigured old wretch like you.
00:58:40There is to use the title of the Empress Dowager.
00:58:42It seems you've grown tired of living.
00:58:44It seems you still refuse to admit your wrongdoing.
00:58:46What wrong have I done?
00:58:48You born into lowly status can only be servants in the palace.
00:58:51To defy your superiors is to seek death.
00:58:54You, Lady Catwell, the inner court is under the jurisdiction of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.
00:58:59To deal with the palace servants privately is likely against the rules.
00:59:02I beg you to show mercy.
00:59:03As the head of the Imperial House of Hero, you have allowed your mage to seduce His Majesty.
00:59:08Such behaviors are a dangerous example.
00:59:10This is unforgivable.
00:59:11Fetch my way!
00:59:11The Supreme Blossom banquet will be held at the beginning of next month.
00:59:20This year, all the nobles and dignitaries will be in attendance.
00:59:23Everything must be prepared perfectly.
00:59:24Your Majesty, rest assured, I will spare no effort in ensuring its success.
00:59:29You insolent servant.
00:59:33How dare you disturb His Majesty?
00:59:35His Majesty?
00:59:37This humble maid greets Your Majesty and beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling.
00:59:41What did you say?
00:59:42Evelyn's in danger.
00:59:48His Majesty?
00:59:50This humble maid greets Your Majesty and beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling.
00:59:54What did you say?
00:59:56Evelyn's in danger.
01:00:08What are you doing?
01:00:11It was me who offended Lady Cowell, but I did not wish for him to suffer punishment on my account.
01:00:17Since you are so eager to play the hero, I shall grant your wish today.
01:00:21Enough!
01:00:22Anna Caldwell, Her Majesty advises you not to go too far, otherwise...
01:00:26You called yourself Her Majesty again, you reckless wretch?
01:00:29Today, I shall teach you the rules on behalf of the Empress that was...
01:00:32Anna Caldwell!
01:00:35Do you know who you are about to whip?
01:00:38Your Majesty...
01:00:39I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:45I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:47The 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?
01:01:10Your Majesty, this humble subject admits her fault.
01:01:13I failed to recognize that you were the Emperor's 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 Emperor's dowager.
01:01:29I implore Your Majesty to carefully consider the matter.
01:01:35Exactly. How could you dare to offend the Emperor's dowager?
01:01:42Admit your fault at once!
01:01:43This humble subject admits 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 Calvaryll, it was clear to you, Simon.
01:01:56If it weren't for your manipulation, how could I have spoken so recklessly before the Emperor's 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're the eldest daughter of the sturdy family!
01:02:22How dare you!
01:02:22Anna Caldwell, I always believed you to be a kind-hearted,
01:02:26yet I never expected you to be ruthless.
01:02:28You've overstepped your place and still dare 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!
01:02:36Your Majesty!
01:02:37This almost object admits her fault!
01:02:38Your Majesty, please spare me!
01:02:40I do not want to get to the Office of Discipline!
01:02:43I have questions for you.
01:02:45Where is Her Majesty taking them?
01:03:03Evelyn!
01:03:05Lucas!
01:03:06Did the Empress doubt to punish you?
01:03:08Of course not!
01:03:09Her Majesty wished to discuss the Spring Blossom Banquet with me.
01:03:12That's a relief.
01:03:13Evelyn.
01:03:17Evelyn has passed the test!
01:03:18Wonderful.
01:03:19I will reveal my identity to her and make her my Empress!
01:03:23There is no need to rush the coronation.
01:03:25The Ministry of Rights is preparing for the Spring Blossom Banquet next month.
01:03:29They may not have enough resources to manage both.
01:03:32Moreover, this matter is too sudden.
01:03:35I'm concerned the other Ministers may object.
01:03:38Mother, why not let Evelyn organize the Spring Blossom Banquet?
01:03:41If she can manage this banquet, it will not only prove her capability, but also make her coronation more acceptable to everyone.
01:03:48Her Majesty wants you to take charge of the Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:03:51Me?
01:03:53I don't know how to organize it.
01:03:58Don't worry.
01:03:59Trust your abilities.
01:04:00You shall triumph.
01:04:01I'll also assist you behind the scenes.
01:04:02All right.
01:04:14Get moving, all of you.
01:04:16If anyone there is a slack off, my whip shows no mercy.
01:04:20You useless fool.
01:04:27Do you still think you're a pampered young lady?
01:04:29Huh?
01:04:30Once you're in the office of discipline, no one gets to laze around.
01:04:38Evelyn Sterling, this is all your fault!
01:04:43Get it!
01:04:44Don'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, and find a way to bring Adrian to the Spring Blossom Banquet, I can surely turn things around.
01:05:14What a wretched place!
01:05:16They expect me, a lady, to wash my clothes myself?
01:05:21Where did this lowly maid come from?
01:05:23I...
01:05:24Lady, I have an urgent request.
01:05:29When?
01:05:29Why should I help you?
01:05:31I am a noble bird.
01:05:33Were it not for this temporary misfortune, you wouldn't even be worthy to speak to me.
01:05:38My elder sister, Evelyn Sterling, is the reason I was 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.
01:06:00It 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?
01:06:22The fire has engulfed 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'm married to Lior?
01:07:05What?
01:07:06Are you unwilling?
01:07:07Or would you prefer to continue staying in the Office of Discipline?
01:07:11Oh, 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.
01:07:37I 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 sword 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.
01:08:37Yes.
01:08:46Edmund,
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 and Josephine,
01:08:59two fools,
01:09:00I wouldn't have offended His Majesty
01:09:02and lost my position.
01:09:05It's all Josephine's fault.
01:09:08Husband!
01:09:10Why are you back?
01:09:11The Empress Dowager pardoned me.
01:09:15I'm released from Office of Discipline.
01:09:17After everything you put us through,
01:09:19you still have the guts to come back?
01:09:22Edmund,
01:09:23it's all because Evelyn.
01:09:25Instead of blaming each other here,
01:09:27you should think how to get back at her.
01:09:30Get back at her?
01:09:32She's like royalty now.
01:09:34How'd you get back at her, huh?
01:09:36I saw her once at the Office of Discipline.
01:09:39She was wearing a lonely palace-based uniform.
01:09:43I don't think she's royal.
01:09:45A palace maid?
01:09:47Could it be that 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?
01:09:56Spring Blossom Banquet is coming.
01:09:58All the nobles will be present then.
01:10:01It's the perfect opportunity.
01:10:03Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:10:05We're invited too.
01:10:07So I can go then?
01:10:11What are you scheming this time?
01:10:15Don't worry.
01:10:17At the banquet,
01:10:18I'll impress everyone.
01:10:19As long as I win
01:10:21the Empress Dowager's favor,
01:10:22our family will rise again.
01:10:46It's going to be all nobles
01:10:47and high officials.
01:10:48Check everything thoroughly.
01:10:50We cannot afford to any mistakes.
01:10:54Oh, stop worrying.
01:10:56We've confirmed every detail
01:10:57multiple times already.
01:10:59There won't be any problems.
01:11:00Let's hope so.
01:11:03Avalyn.
01:11:04Avalyn.
01:11:04If you like these pastries,
01:11:16I can get you more.
01:11:16I'm glad this is a remote area
01:11:23with no patrols.
01:11:25Otherwise,
01:11:26I can't meet like this.
01:11:27Avalyn.
01:11:36Avalyn.
01:11:38Once the banquet ends,
01:11:40wait for me here.
01:11:41I got something to tell you.
01:11:44All right.
01:11:44I'll wait for you here.
01:11:45Avalyn.
01:11:46Avalyn.
01:11:46Avalyn.
01:11:46Husband! Look over there!
01:11:59Evelyn! And 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.
01:12:16Hey, 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.
01:12:38This is the Imperial Palace, not your place, all right?
01:12:42Everything you do here is washed by His Majesty and the Empress Gouger.
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.
01:12:59If not, you'll get kicked out.
01:13:01You were lucky to have got away last time.
01:13:06No one can protect you this time.
01:13:10What do you mean?
01:13:10I want to destroy you from head to toe.
01:13:17Greetings, Empress Gouger.
01:13:28Greetings, Empress Gouger.
01:13:30Evelyn.
01:13:31Evelyn, preparing the banquet must be exhausting.
01:13:35Once it is over, I will reward you properly.
01:13:38It's just my duty. Thanks for your grace.
01:13:42Your 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.
01:14:01If they're this bold in broad daylight, who knows what they do in secret?
01:14:05Your Highness, I did have a contact with a guard.
01:14:09But before entering the palace, we already had developed feelings.
01:14:13In the palace, we only met occasionally.
01:14:15There was nothing improper.
01:14:17If you weren't guilty, why did you hurry away in that moment you saw us?
01:14:21This should be punishable by death.
01:14:25Your Highness, I insist on seeing him.
01:14:28If this matter deserves punishment, please spare the guard's life.
01:14:34Since neither of you are innocent,
01:14:35Your Highness, please summon the guard and execute them.
01:14:40Yes, Your Highness.
01:14:41Punish them both to uphold palace discipline.
01:14:45You two want me to execute the guard?
01:14:51You two want me to execute the guard?
01:14:56In the palace, it is indeed forbidden for palace maids and guards to mingle.
01:15:01But Evelyn, for organizing the banquet, put in great effort.
01:15:04She'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.
01:15:25Farewell, Your Highness.
01:15:26She 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,
01:15:40We can just...
01:15:43Your Majesty, the banquet is that way.
01:15:51Where are you going?
01:15:52It'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.
01:15:58Go tell Evelyn.
01:15:59To meet me will reward before.
01:16:01What?
01:16:04Eunuch Langley.
01:16:05Come here.
01:16:08What'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.
01:16:25Someone is waiting for you in that courtyard.
01:16:26Go.
01:16:27How is it?
01:16:31Assassins!
01:16:32Protect the Empress Dowager!
01:16:33What's going on inside?
01:16:37An assassin disguised as a dancer.
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?
01:16:48There is an assassin.
01:16:49We are arresting Evelyn to the judicial court.
01:16:51What?
01:16:51Me?
01:16:52Me?
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 Caldwell.
01:17:09She was in charge of the palace banquet.
01:17:11How dare you?
01:17:13How dare you plan assassination against the Empress Dowager?
01:17:16Are you rebelling?
01:17:18I'm not.
01:17:19I 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, you were secretly meeting with the guard.
01:17:28You were so affectionate that you just ignored everything around you.
01:17:31What?
01:17:33Is this true?
01:17:34Chancellor, I can testify.
01:17:36That very guard is still at the Ministry of Rights.
01:17:38Somewhat.
01:17:39Bring that guard here.
01:17:40I will get to the bottom of this.
01:17:45Why hasn't Evelyn come yet?
01:17:46Lucas?
01:18:00Sir, 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, it'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.
01:18:23If not, for my husband's great reaction.
01:18:25You should have been executed by now.
01:18:28Chancellor Caldwell.
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, we broke our order.
01:18:55Chancellor, I beg you.
01:18:57Chancellor.
01:18:57Chancellor, don't.
01:18:59Chancellor, please.
01:19:01Chancellor!
01:19:03Lucas.
01:19:04I'm sorry.
01:19:05It's not my fault.
01:19:06I'm so sorry.
01:19:25Stop now.
01:19:26Don't you dare touch her.
01:19:29Long live your majesty.
01:19:37Long live your majesty.
01:19:41How dare you condemning the innocent without discerning right from wrong.
01:19:47This is totally outrageous.
01:19:49You 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, but she allowed assassins in to hurt the Empress Starwager.
01:20:10I beg you.
01:20:11I beg you.
01:20:11Your majesty issued an order at once to imprison her for further interrogation.
01:20:15Chancellor Gull 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, but Evelyn must be punished.
01:20:26Your majesty, my life is of no consequence, but Evelyn must be punished.
01:20:30If this happens again, who will protect the palace?
01:20:37Police.
01:20:38You must punish Evelyn.
01:20:40Adrian Montague, are you making decisions for me?
01:20:43The Empress Starwager has been traumatized today.
01:20:46If your majesty doesn't punish Evelyn, what if others follow her example?
01:20:49The consequences will be unimaginable.
01:20:51I request your majesty to punish Evelyn.
01:20:53I beg your majesty to punish Evelyn.
01:21:02Is that so?
01:21:03If I have evidence that Evelyn's innocent, what should you be punished for?
01:21:13Impossible.
01:21:15Nicholas, I'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.
01:21:27Bring them to me.
01:21:31Your majesty is wise.
01:21:33Following your orders, I've ready arranged for guards to capture the assassin.
01:21:38Your majesty, spare me.
01:21:40The assassination was all Josephine and Andrea'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.
01:22:01Your majesty.
01:22:01Her majesty.
01:22:07Her majesty.
01:22:07It'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.
01:22:14You're lying.
01:22:14Your majesty.
01:22:15I was only jealous of my sister.
01:22:17The assassination was always Grant'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 Montague, Josephine Sterling, as masterminds, will be executed right now.
01:22:35Lock Catherine in the judicial court.
01:22:37Wait for further orders.
01:22:39Your majesty.
01:22:40Your majesty.
01:22:41Please give me a chance, your majesty.
01:22:43Your majesty.
01:22:43Your majesty.
01:22:44If that were you, all of this would have been fine.
01:22:48Your love.
01:22:50It's all because of yourself, not me.
01:22:54You brought all of this upon yourself.
01:23:04Evelyn.
01:23:07Hi.
01:23:11So, your majesty, what is your real name?
01:23:17Lucian Prescott.
01:23:19Lucian Prescott.
01:23:22Now the criminals have been taken away, your majesty and your highness, you can finally be together.
01:23:31My highness.
01:23:34From today onward, I will make you empress.
01:23:41Starting 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.
01:23:55Long live your highness.
01:23:56Long live your highness.
