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!
00:00:25Someone's been killed!
00:00:27Murder!
00:00:28Murder!
00:00:29Murder!
00:00:41Sister...
00:00:42...What?
00:00:43Don't call me Sister!
00:00:45You are unworthy, we are both daughters of the Sterling family, why should you live better
00:00:49than me?
00:00:50If only wait for a month, I caught my bridle bow, 3 years ago.
00:00:55It's nothing but an illusion.
00:01:02If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.
00:01:25Master, I have already spread the word.
00:01:33The noblemen from all around have heard that our daughters of the Sterling family are seeking husbands and are eager to compete for them.
00:01:40For a son-in-law of our family, at the very least, he must be a man of great status.
00:01:45You two better aim at the right man. Whichever of you marries well shall bring glory to our family.
00:01:50Have I been reborn to three years ago? The very day of the husband seeking bridal bond.
00:01:55My lady, it's time to cast your bond.
00:02:01Sister, please let me go first.
00:02:05In my past life, Josephine insists that I go first.
00:02:09Feigning modesty and humility. Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.
00:02:20Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me! Lady Josephine, come on!
00:02:27In this life, I have to marry Adrian!
00:02:38It'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!
00:02:47I actually altered my fate!
00:02:50Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank, and I shall become a noble Lady of Honor!
00:02:56Josephine, you have scheme relentlessly.
00:03:00But 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.
00:03:35That is...
00:03:42Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:03:46Master, if the Empress Howard you find, you're dressed like this.
00:03:51Mother's been always pressing me. I can only leave the palace for some peace.
00:03:55This is a perfect chance, to experience the life of ordinary folk.
00:04:00Hurry, Mr. Darling, let's take the bridal ball for marriage!
00:04:03Let's have a look.
00:04:05In 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.
00:04:19Evelyn, now it's your turn. And you better aim as close as Josephine.
00:04:26Mother, how could you say such a thing?
00:04:29Sister has always been lucky and she would never bring shame upon us.
00:04:33In my opinion, in the moment, she will surely get the finest husband.
00:04:37Powerful or not, rich or not, it's only written on water.
00:04:46In this life, I seek only a true companion to live a peaceful life till the end.
00:04:51It's him. It's him. The beggar that Josephine ran away from.
00:05:10Oh no, it actually went to a beggar!
00:05:15Sister, what terrible luck you have!
00:05:18A beggar out of so many people down there, how do you expect father to hold his head high?
00:05:24Damn it! With so many people down there, how could you cast into a beggar?
00:05:29Are you deliberately trying to shame me?
00:05:31What's done is done, sister. Do not be too upset.
00:05:35Though he is of lowly birth, but look, at least he got a pretty face.
00:05:39It is only a pity for you, sister, raising comfort and luxury.
00:05:43But now bound to a beggar, you shall have to labor yourself to earn your bread.
00:05:49Now this will be quite the spectacle.
00:05:50The esteemed Lady Evelyn will marry a beggar? Everyone is watching.
00:05:54If she refuses, it's going to ruin their credit. Who would associate with them more?
00:05:58Hey! Hey! Seize her! Don't let her escape!
00:06:04Master, how did this bridal bull end up in your hands? What should we do now? It's the Scottish!
00:06:10I'm dressed in such rags. She won't agree.
00:06:14Sister, why are you running? You cast a bridal bull yourself!
00:06:22You damn girl! Look at the filthy beggar you've got!
00:06:27If he becomes my son-in-law, it's gonna 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 better fate.
00:06:42The rule of the bridal bull is binding. Since he caught the bull, you should...
00:06:49I am willing to marry him.
00:06:55What?
00:06:59My name is Evelyn Sterling. What's yours?
00:07:03I am Lu... Lucas Prescott.
00:07:07With all present as my witnesses today. I, Evelyn Sterling.
00:07:17Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband.
00:07:19Are you serious?
00:07:28Yeah. The ball is in your hands. You wanna... reject me.
00:07:34I didn't. It's just that I'm poor as hell. Marrying me would mean a life of a certainty. Are you sure?
00:07:42We're not disabled or something. We may be poor now, but we can always earn our money.
00:07:49We can work hard to make a living ourselves.
00:07:53I've never seen someone so easily content.
00:07:57He's just a filthy beggar! You're really gonna marry him?
00:08:01Evelyn, you're sure about this? Marry this beggar. And your future is ruined!
00:08:07I do not believe that is true. Future won't be decided like that. Lucas, he may be in rags now. But I can see his humility and good manner. He's gonna make a difference maybe.
00:08:20You are... Rule is rule. You're not eating your words, are you sir?
00:08:25Indeed. If he refuses, that's breaking the rules. I'm 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.
00:08:43I understand.
00:08:45The 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.
00:09:02You should worry about yourself. Life with the Montague's is not as easy as you imagine.
00:09:16You...
00:09:20In 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.
00:09:29Today, the second daughter of the Sarlene family is to be wed. Her 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.
00:09:46Lady Josephine Sterling's salary is worth a fortune. Yet Lady Evelyn Sterling has nothing at all. They are both daughters of the Sarlene 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.
00:10:02It's the bridegroom. The bridegroom has arrived.
00:10:12Oh, as expected of the second son of the Montague family. The spectacle is grand indeed.
00:10:20Of 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.
00:10:31My respects to my honor, father and mother-in-law.
00:10:34Please rise, my son-in-law.
00:10:35My son-in-law, such 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.
00:10:50Sister, the auspicious hour is nearly over. Why has your husband not come for you?
00:10:55Could it be that he's not coming at all?
00:11:01I, your humble son-in-law, greet my honored father-in-law.
00:11:12My lady.
00:11:17My lady.
00:11:18Are you here to beg for the alms or take a bride? Dressed in such rags, do you not feel ashamed?
00:11:23Compared to Lord Montague, you are as far apart as heaven and earth.
00:11:27Just what are you wearing? In front of so many esteemed officials, are you not bringing shame upon me?
00:11:34Today is your wedding day. And yet you came dressed like this? Do you not find this is a disgrace? Do you not finding this humiliating?
00:11:42Marriage is a lifelong commitment, building upon sincerity, not mere appearances. The men I, Evelyn Sterling, have chosen.
00:11:48It's not one whose worth can be swayed by idle words.
00:11:51Have you not embarrassed us enough?
00:11:53Master, do not be angered. From the moment Evelyn steps beyond this threshold, she'll no longer be a Sterling.
00:12:01The auspicious hour has arrived! Bring the bride to the carriage!
00:12:05This is the...
00:12:15Congratulations, 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.
00:12:31Surely you didn't arrive on foot today.
00:12:34On such a big day, will you have the bride walk all the way to your home?
00:12:39Unheard of.
00:12:40Indeed. Not like my husband.
00:12:43M'lady, please, allow me to take you home.
00:13:08Bow to the heavens and the earth!
00:13:10Is this the place they've found us to live in?
00:13:13Mm-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.
00:13:25Mm-mm.
00:13:26And bow to each other as husband and wife.
00:13:35The 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.
00:13:47At least, it shields us from the wind and rain.
00:13:50If we work hard from now on, keep this place tidy,
00:13:54it'll soon feel much more comfortable.
00:13:57At this moment, I have nothing of value to give you.
00:13:59The shade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:14:02I've carried it with me all these years.
00:14:05And now, I'm giving it to you.
00:14:08I'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.
00:14:22I will cherish it well.
00:14:23I will cherish it well.
00:14:24You're up.
00:14:25Breakfast is ready.
00:14:26For you.
00:14:27You're up.
00:14:49Breakfast is ready.
00:14:50For you.
00:14:54Hey.
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.
00:15:14Greetings, your majesty.
00:15:20Greetings, your majesty.
00:15:21Who 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.
00:15:45Evelyn, I'll help Victor to entertain the guests.
00:15:51Will you be all right buying threat on your own?
00:15:55Yes.
00:15:55Speak.
00:16:09What happened?
00:16:10The Empress Dowager distressed over your majesty's sense and suddenly collapsed.
00:16:13What?
00:16:14Victor, stay here and protect your 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?
00:16:46So 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, it has been quite a few days since you had seen your husband before.
00:17:16You.
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.
00:17:25Josephine.
00:17:30Father, mother.
00:17:32Greetings to you both.
00:17:34Greetings to you both.
00:17:36You've returned alone.
00:17:37How can you still have the face to come back?
00:17:39What does your husband do all day?
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?
00:17:55Father-in-law, your humble son-in-law has brought a small gift.
00:17:57Oh, our 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
00:18:11eight lifetimes.
00:18:12Unlike someone who chose a beggar as her husband, our sterling family has raised you for so many
00:18:19years and yet you come back empty-handed on your homecoming day.
00:18:22Indeed, sister.
00:18:25This is my homecoming gift.
00:18:27Have you fallen into such poverty that you cannot even afford a proper homecoming gift?
00:18:38Father, 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.
00:18:49Get out!
00:18:50What a disgrace!
00:18:53Sister, is this truly what you've brought?
00:18:56A few scraps of cloth with embroidery.
00:18:59How dare you present these?
00:19:01Well, she did marry a beggar.
00:19:03So 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.
00:19:15Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:19:18Master, madame.
00:19:19Someone from the palace has arrived with gifts.
00:19:21They say they are the homecoming gifts from Lady Evelyn.
00:19:26Master Sterling, 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?
00:19:37Then it must be from his majesty himself.
00:19:39It was personally arranged by the chief eunuch at his majesty's side.
00:19:42He said, for the Sterling family's eldest daughter.
00:19:50Mr. Ashford, you must be mistaken.
00:19:54All of Highgate knows that Evelyn married a beggar.
00:19:58How could she possibly have ties to anyone in the palace?
00:20:01Oh, this must surely be a courtesy to young Master Montague.
00:20:08Ha 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 ha ha.
00:20:21Josephine 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 ha.
00:20:33The gifts have been delivered.
00:20:35I shall take my leave.
00:20:37Oh, take care.
00:20:38Take care.
00:20:40Sister, 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.
00:20:54I've poured my heart and effort into raising you,
00:20:56and 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,
00:21:07you feel justified to humiliate me like this.
00:21:09Josephine acts in the best interest of the Sterling family,
00:21:12unlike 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
00:21:21that 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,
00:21:33a daughter is nothing more than a pawn to secure power and favor.
00:21:37Outrageous!
00:21:38How dare you speak to your father in such a manner?
00:21:45Her dragon chain pendant?
00:21:46Outrageous!
00:21:50I must inform his majesty.
00:21:55Give it back to me!
00:21:58This jeep 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!
00:22:06That 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.
00:22:27You won the pendant?
00:22:29Very well.
00:22:30But you must sever all ties with the Sterlings.
00:22:34You...
00:22:35Father,
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.
00:22:48Bringing 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.
00:22:57For 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 fair,
00:23:09it is better than enduring cold disdain
00:23:12in the Sterlings,
00:23:13since that is the case.
00:23:23I, Evelyn Sterling,
00:23:25severe all ties
00:23:27with the Sterling family.
00:23:29We are here and forth,
00:23:30strangers.
00:23:40Hmm.
00:23:40All for the sake of a worthless beggar.
00:23:43You would sever ties with us?
00:23:45This is fortunate
00:23:46we never placed our hopes in you.
00:23:48Is that not what Father has always thought of?
00:23:53Why should I remain here
00:23:54only 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
00:24:06from the kitchen.
00:24:07Scatter them across the floor.
00:24:09What are you trying to do?
00:24:12Your majesty,
00:24:13something here,
00:24:14what happened?
00:24:14Lady Evelyn was humiliated
00:24:15at the Sterling estate.
00:24:16One's body and soul
00:24:23are bestowed
00:24:23by One's parents.
00:24:25If you wish to sever ties,
00:24:27you must first
00:24:27repay your parents' kindness.
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
00:24:35that you present
00:24:35anything of 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 so fiercely.
00:24:44How could anyone survive
00:24:46walking across them?
00:24:47I will not walk.
00:24:50Oh?
00:24:51It seems, dear sister,
00:24:53that you no longer
00:24:54want this jade pendant.
00:24:57Stop!
00:25:00Lucas is the only one
00:25:02who has ever treated 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 troubled.
00:25:10I will walk.
00:25:14For 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 into privilege
00:25:41would willingly walk
00:25:42across burning charcoal.
00:25:43No wonder she was foolish
00:25:44enough to marry
00:25:45a mere beggar.
00:25:46After all,
00:25:47what does a beggar
00:25:47have to his name
00:25:48but worthless trinkets?
00:25:50This jade pendant
00:25:51is likely
00:25:52his most treasured
00:25:53possession.
00:25:54No wonder
00:25:55dear sister
00:25:56cherishes it so.
00:25:58The jade pendant
00:25:59was left to me
00:26:00by my father.
00:26:01I've carried it
00:26:02with me all these years.
00:26:04Now,
00:26:05I'm giving it to you.
00:26:06For me,
00:26:15my lady.
00:26:17Lucas,
00:26:18do not worry.
00:26:20I will reclaim
00:26:20the jade pendant.
00:26:21Can 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.
00:26:46The jade pendant
00:27:03was left to me
00:27:04by my father.
00:27:04I've carried it
00:27:05with me all these years.
00:27:08And now,
00:27:08I'm giving it to you.
00:27:10All right.
00:27:14I will cherish it, Will.
00:27:15You claim
00:27:40to cherish
00:27:41your love
00:27:42for that filthy beggar.
00:27:43But if you were
00:27:45disfigured,
00:27:46would your dearest
00:27:47husband still want you?
00:27:50Why are you
00:27:51looking at me
00:27:52like 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
00:27:58upon at will.
00:28:00You exhaust yourself
00:28:01trying to torment me.
00:28:03But do you truly
00:28:04believe you're
00:28:05getting your way?
00:28:07I want you
00:28:08to spend the rest
00:28:09of your days
00:28:10wallowing in the gutter,
00:28:12watching as I rise
00:28:13to become
00:28:13the most esteemed
00:28:14woman in the world.
00:28:24His majesty has arrived!
00:28:32Who dares
00:28:32lay a hand
00:28:33on my woman?
00:28:34Evelyn, I'm sorry.
00:28:39I'm late.
00:28:42Just leave.
00:28:43Lucas,
00:28:45I didn't
00:28:46lose your
00:28:46Jake 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,
00:28:59aren't they
00:29:00the Imperial Guards?
00:29:01Why would they
00:29:01take orders from 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
00:29:11come to regain
00:29:12his 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
00:29:21audacious?
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!
00:29:32You!
00:29:32What do you think
00:29:33you're doing?
00:29:34Avalyn,
00:29:34come with me.
00:29:36Avalyn,
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
00:30:02the 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
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 keep
00:30:25up this charade.
00:30:26Guards!
00:30:27Seize this filthy beggar
00:30:28and Evelyn Sterling!
00:30:29Wait.
00:30:33How dare you
00:30:34humiliate my lady?
00:30:37Seize them!
00:30:38Seize them!
00:30:42How dare you!
00:30:43I'm Lady Joseph
00:30:44of the Montag!
00:30:47Husband, save me!
00:30:48You filthy beggar!
00:30:49Guards!
00:30:49Whoever kills them
00:30:50for me,
00:30:50I shall reward him
00:30:51with ten tails of gold!
00:30:56Insolent, wretch!
00:30:57Lord Montague is
00:30:58of 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
00:31:02Montague family!
00:31:03And what of it?
00:31:04Anyone who dares
00:31:05harm 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!
00:31:17I might disappear
00:31:17your life!
00:31:18You've tortured Evelyn
00:31:19to such wretched state!
00:31:21Press their faces!
00:31:23Straight into the burning charcoal!
00:31:24Help!
00:31:25Uh!
00:31:27No!
00:31:28Oh!
00:31:29No!
00:31:30No!
00:31:30What are you doing?
00:31:31No!
00:31:32Stop!
00:31:32Once the judicial court
00:31:33arrives,
00:31:34you are doomed!
00:31:34All right!
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!
00:31:51Don'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 with you!
00:31:57No!
00:31:58Stop!
00:31:59Brother!
00:32:00Brother, save me!
00:32:04Who is
00:32:12harming my brother?
00:32:17The Imperial Secret Guards,
00:32:19why are they here?
00:32:20Yes!
00:32:22I summoned them!
00:32:23That voice!
00:32:24Could it be?
00:32:26Your Majesty!
00:32:28Your Majesty!
00:32:33The Emperor!
00:32:34How could this filthy beggar...
00:32:36Brother!
00:32:37Don't let this filthy beggar
00:32:38fool 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,
00:32:47but 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 be here!
00:32:54Wretched girl!
00:32:55Look at the fine husband
00:32:56you've chosen!
00:32:58You've offended
00:32:58Lord Montague!
00:32:59I'll see how you
00:33:00plan to end this!
00:33:02My Lord!
00:33:03You must uphold
00:33:04justice for us!
00:33:05This filthy beggar
00:33:06and Evelyn Sterling!
00:33:07They defied
00:33:08human ethics!
00:33:09Even intended
00:33:09to murder us!
00:33:11Outrageous!
00:33:12At the foot
00:33:13of the Imperial City!
00:33:14How can you act
00:33:14so brazenly?
00:33:15Guards!
00:33:16Take them to the dungeon
00:33:17of the Judicial Court!
00:33:18Interrogate them
00:33:18with torture!
00:33:19Wait!
00:33:21What else
00:33:21do you have to say?
00:33:23Since when?
00:33:24What's this position
00:33:25of Lord Justice Deputy?
00:33:26Yours to assume!
00:33:27You filthy beggar!
00:33:28How could you possibly
00:33:29know about court appointments?
00:33:31My brother
00:33:31was appointed
00:33:32by the Empress Dowager
00:33:33herself!
00:33:34What now?
00:33:34Regret violently
00:33:35sinking in?
00:33:36Even the Empress Dowager
00:33:37was deceived!
00:33:39The amount of your 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
00:33:49married the eldest daughter
00:33:50of the Sterling Valley
00:33:51because that woman
00:33:52His Majesty
00:33:52even lashed out
00:33:53and said
00:33:53His Majesty
00:33:54married another woman
00:33:55outside the palace?
00:33:56Guards!
00:33:57The brothers are done!
00:34:01Insolent!
00:34:02How dare you offend
00:34:03the Empress Dowager?
00:34:04Are you trying
00:34:04to get yourself killed?
00:34:05Lord Montague!
00:34:06Please see clearly
00:34:07our 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!
00:34:13That's right, my lord!
00:34:14Our Sterling family
00:34:15has always followed the rules!
00:34:17We would never dare
00:34:18speak against the royal family!
00:34:19Please see the truth, my lord!
00:34:21President and me,
00:34:21Raleigh is the capital of crime!
00:34:23You must not let them go, my 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...
00:34:33Lucas break up your arm!
00:34:34Sparrows, my lord!
00:34:35He didn't mean to offend...
00:34:37Evelyn!
00:34:44Evelyn!
00:34:45Let's go!
00:34:46How dare you!
00:34:47Trying to run?
00:34:48Guards!
00:34:48Stop them!
00:34:49Whoever dares to block us again,
00:34:51kill without mercy!
00:34:52Yes, sir!
00:34:52Trying to escape?
00:34:58It's not that easy!
00:35:04Lucas!
00:35:09Lucas!
00:35:10Lucas!
00:35:11Josephine 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
00:35:18actually tried to have some disfigure me?
00:35:20Of 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!
00:35:31Lucas!
00:35:33Well, 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?
00:35:40Josephine Sterling,
00:35:41why won't you just let me go?
00:35:46I have to admit...
00:35:48Sister,
00:35:49you're truly fortunate
00:35:50if 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!
00:35:57You...
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.
00:36:10I 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!
00:36:29Out in what time?
00:36:32The Empress Dowager
00:36:33has arrived!
00:36:34I'd like to see
00:36:35who dares harm
00:36:36my royal son.
00:36:40He really
00:36:41is the Emperor?
00:36:44He...
00:36:45He really is the Emperor?
00:36:47Avalyn!
00:36:47Avalyn!
00:36:48Imperial physician!
00:36:49Call the Imperial physician
00:36:51quickly!
00:36:51Your Majesty!
00:36:52Victor Langley,
00:36:53I ordered her
00:36:54immediately
00:36:54to send her back
00:36:55for treatment.
00:36:56If anything happens
00:36:56to her,
00:36:57I'll make sure you pay!
00:36:58You're severed her base!
00:36:58Come, come, come!
00:37:00Hurry!
00:37:03Your Majesty,
00:37:04all members of the
00:37:05Starlink family
00:37:05have been arrested.
00:37:06Your Majesty?
00:37:08Your...
00:37:09Your Majesty?
00:37:11What?
00:37:12You called him?
00:37:13Your Majesty!
00:37:14Wasn't he a beggar?
00:37:15Pass down my decree.
00:37:17Sebastian Serding
00:37:17and his family
00:37:18are executed
00:37:19on the spot.
00:37:20Master!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:25Adam and Montague,
00:37:26as an official
00:37:27of the court,
00:37:27you abuse your power
00:37:28and aided evil

00:37:31of your duty,
00:37:32imprisoned,

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 Your Majesty
00:37:39to revoke the order!
00:37:41It was my fault!
00:37:44I 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 Strangley family.
00:38:02Empress Dowager,
00:38:03please,
00:38:03for the sake
00:38:04of my father's honor,
00:38:05spare me once!
00:38:06I beg Your Majesty
00:38:07and Empress Dowager
00:38:08for mercy!
00:38:09Please have mercy,
00:38:10Empress Dowager!
00:38:11Have mercy,
00:38:11Empress Dowager!
00:38:13My son,
00:38:14although the two
00:38:15unfilial sons
00:38:16of the Montague family
00:38:17are foolish,
00:38:17they were not
00:38:18the masterminds.
00:38:19They should be
00:38:19punished lighter.
00:38:20The Sterling family
00:38:21is a household
00:38:22of commoners.
00:38:23To execute them all
00:38:24is indeed
00:38:25lacking consideration
00:38:26for the women.
00:38:27I saw that woman
00:38:28who was badly injured,
00:38:29my son.
00:38:30You should go
00:38:30tend to her quickly.
00:38:31Lucas,
00:38:50are you alright?
00:38:51Are you alright?
00:38:52Did you get hurt?
00:38:53I'm fine.
00:38:53Lie down quickly.
00:38:54The Imperius Physician
00:38:55said you have to
00:38:56lie down.
00:38:57Come on.
00:38:58Imperial Physician?
00:39:01What is going on?
00:39:03Why are we
00:39:04in 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,
00:39:35but,
00:39:37before that,
00:39:38you 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
00:39:48the palace
00:39:49to pray.
00:39:50Just happened
00:39:50to walk
00:39:51by the Sterling State.
00:39:52That's how
00:39:52she saved us.
00:39:55Then,
00:39:56what about
00:39:58my father
00:39:59and the others?
00:39:59The Empress Dowager
00:40:00gave the order
00:40:01to have them
00:40:01all beat
00:40:02in 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
00:40:11of Discipline
00:40:12to do hard labour
00:40:13and for your father
00:40:14and for your father
00:40:14and the others
00:40:14they were exiled.
00:40:16Exiled?
00:40:19Avalyn,
00:40:21from now on
00:40:22I will protect you.
00:40:23I asked the Empress Dowager
00:40:26for a position
00:40:27and assigned you
00:40:28to the Imperial
00:40:28Household Bureau.
00:40:29From now on
00:40:30the two of us
00:40:31will be working
00:40:31in the palace.
00:40:34That's wonderful.
00:40:36When the time comes
00:40:37we 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.
00:40:44Avalyn,
00:40:51I hope
00:40:51you 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
00:41:17Household 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 Ma'am Langston.
00:41:29This one here
00:41:30is a newly arrived maid
00:41:32Evelyn Sterling
00:41:33in the days to come.
00:41:34Please take good care
00:41:35of her Ma'am Langston.
00:41:37Rest assured
00:41:37I will take good care
00:41:39of Miss Evelyn.
00:41:40I definitely
00:41:41won't let her
00:41:42do heavy work.
00:41:44Lucas.
00:41:49I came here
00:41:50to work, right?
00:41:51Why does it feel like
00:41:52I'm being treated
00:41:53like a mistress?
00:41:57She...
00:41:58Maybe she's
00:42:01a nice person.
00:42:08Miss Evelyn.
00:42:09Please come with me.
00:42:12Go ahead.
00:42:14You.
00:42:28Clean all of these
00:42:28thoroughly.
00:42:30You and I
00:42:31both work
00:42:31at the Imperial
00:42:32Household Bureau.
00:42:33The tasks
00:42:33are assigned in advance.
00:42:34Why should I be the one
00:42:35to do your work?
00:42:36You've got the nerves
00:42:36to ask.
00:42:37It's because of you
00:42:38that I ended up
00:42:39cleaning the toilet bowl.
00:42:40Some people
00:42:40must have used
00:42:41certain means
00:42:42to learn a post here
00:42:43and somehow
00:42:43even earn
00:42:44Ma'am Langston's favor.
00:42:45She got all
00:42:46the easiest work
00:42:46assigned to you.
00:42:47give it back to me.
00:42:52Hey!
00:42:54Give it back to me!
00:43:04The dragon jade pendant?
00:43:08There's something
00:43:09only his majesty
00:43:10can wear.
00:43:11Hurry in
00:43:11and inform
00:43:11Madam Langston.
00:43:12Someone is stealing.
00:43:14Oh majesty!
00:43:15Give it back to me!
00:43:16Rain, help!
00:43:16What are you waiting for?
00:43:31Grab her!
00:43:34Everyone,
00:43:34stop right there!
00:43:35your grace.
00:43:43The Imperial Household Bureau
00:43:44is such a crude place.
00:43:46You have never come here
00:43:46before.
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 truly
00:43:55know Evelyn Sterling.
00:43:57She must never learn
00:43:59of my identity.
00:44:05Palace rules are strict.
00:44:10I was only gone
00:44:11for a little while
00:44:12and you dare behave
00:44:13so wildly.
00:44:14What do you take
00:44:15the Imperial Household Bureau
00:44:16for?
00:44:16Ma'am,
00:44:16she 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 leave.
00:44:23She feared being exposed
00:44:24and even tried
00:44:25to harm me.
00:44:26Ma'am,
00:44:27you must punish her
00:44:28properly.
00:44:29Ma'am Langston,
00:44:30please let me explain.
00:44:32This isn't what happened.
00:44:33Enough.
00:44:34Hand over
00:44:35the jade pendant.
00:44:38The pendant
00:44:40belongs to me.
00:44:43I said
00:44:44hand over
00:44:45the jade pendant.
00:44:59The dragon jade pendant.
00:45:02It truly belongs
00:45:03to his majesty.
00:45:03The dragon jade pendant.
00:45:06It truly belongs
00:45:07to his majesty.
00:45:08The emperor
00:45:09even gave her
00:45:09something this important?
00:45:11She even dares
00:45:12to steal
00:45:13his majesty's pendant.
00:45:14In the future,
00:45:15who knows
00:45:15what outrageous
00:45:15things she might do.
00:45:17Palace rules
00:45:17are very clear.
00:45:19Anyone caught
00:45:19stealing goods
00:45:20worth more than one 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 to my
00:45:26explanation.
00:45:26This pendant
00:45:27was given to me
00:45:28by someone
00:45:28very dear to me.
00:45:30It was definitely
00:45:31not stolen.
00:45:31I truly don't know
00:45:32how I could belong
00:45:33to his majesty.
00:45:34We confirm the pendant
00:45:35belongs to my son.
00:45:37Wouldn't that expose
00:45:37us to her identity?
00:45:39No.
00:45:40We can't rely on the object
00:45:41to prove there was
00:45:42theft involved.
00:45:43I'll thoroughly investigate
00:45:44this matter
00:45:45until the truth is found.
00:45:47The pendant will remain
00:45:48with me.
00:45:48If you are truly innocent,
00:45:50I will make things
00:45:50right for you.
00:45:52Thank you, ma'am.
00:45:54This is the new steward,
00:45:55Madam Williams.
00:45:56From now on,
00:45:57she will work with me
00:45:58to manage the bureau.
00:45:59All of you,
00:46:00behave yourselves.
00:46:01Anyone who tries
00:46:02to be sneaky or lazy
00:46:03will be punished
00:46:04according to palace rules.
00:46:05Yes, ma'am.
00:46:06Yes, ma'am.
00:46:11Your bullying
00:46:12of your colleague
00:46:13has not been settled yet.
00:46:14You are to clean
00:46:15toilet bowl as punishment.
00:46:16You may eat
00:46:17only when you finish.
00:46:18Yes, ma'am.
00:46:40Oh, isn't this much better?
00:46:48Your Majesty,
00:46:52Miss Caldwell
00:46:52has come to the palace
00:46:53again today.
00:46:54Do you wish to see her?
00:46:55No.
00:46:55Tell her to go back
00:46:56where she came from.
00:46:58This.
00:46:59You.
00:47:00Go back.
00:47:01I'm going to see Avalyn.
00:47:02If you follow me,
00:47:03you'll expose my identity.
00:47:05Out of the way.
00:47:09Avalyn.
00:47:10Avalyn.
00:47:10Lucas.
00:47:14Lucas.
00:47:16Why are you here?
00:47:19How can Madam Langston
00:47:21let you do this kind of work?
00:47:22I'll go speak with her.
00:47:24I'll go speak with her.
00:47:26Lucas.
00:47:28This just cleaning
00:47:29a toilet bowl
00:47:30is not a big deal.
00:47:32Avalyn.
00:47:32I'm sorry you had to endure this.
00:47:46I promise I'll find a way
00:47:47to get you out of here
00:47:48as soon as possible.
00:47:49By the way,
00:47:51the Jade Pendant of yours,
00:47:53what's the story behind it?
00:47:54Why is it
00:47:55that they keep saying
00:47:56that the Pendant
00:47:57belongs to His Majesty?
00:47:59Uh, my father.
00:48:01My father once won
00:48:01first place
00:48:02in the Imperial Exam
00:48:03to encourage
00:48:04outstanding scholars.
00:48:05His Majesty rewarded him
00:48:06with the Jade Pendant.
00:48:07This is how it came
00:48:08into our hands.
00:48:09Oh, I see.
00:48:10All they say
00:48:11is His Majesty,
00:48:11His Majesty.
00:48:12I thought maybe
00:48:13you were lying to me.
00:48:18Who's there?
00:48:19It's Madam Willems.
00:48:24Hurry and go.
00:48:24Come let her see you.
00:48:25Tomorrow.
00:48:26I'll come to see you
00:48:27tomorrow again.
00:48:35Madam.
00:48:35Madam.
00:48:36All the toilet bowls
00:48:37have been cleaned.
00:48:38Cleaned already?
00:48:40Then go sweep
00:48:41the entire back courtyard.
00:48:46Yes, ma'am.
00:48:47Finally done
00:48:49with everything.
00:49:02Why is wrong
00:49:03my things?
00:49:04Madam Williams
00:49:04gave orders herself.
00:49:06She said
00:49:06at first light tomorrow,
00:49:07you're to deliver
00:49:08her medicine.
00:49:08Ma'am said
00:49:09the medicine
00:49:10must be boiled
00:49:10with morning drew.
00:49:11Tonight,
00:49:12you should wait outside.
00:49:13Morning drew.
00:49:14Morning drew.
00:49:18Everyone heard it.
00:49:19I'm not making it up.
00:49:20Why is Madam Williams
00:49:21always picking on me?
00:49:23Madam Williams
00:49:23already showed me
00:49:25mercy by.
00:49:25Not punishing
00:49:26for the theft last time.
00:49:27All she asked
00:49:27was for you
00:49:28to collect the morning drew.
00:49:29You should be grateful.
00:49:30The pendant
00:49:30wasn't stolen at all.
00:49:31Stop falsely accusing me.
00:49:32Not stolen?
00:49:33Are you saying
00:49:34His Majesty
00:49:34gave it to you himself?
00:49:35You...
00:49:35Didn't that air
00:49:46is damped with dew.
00:49:47I'm going inside
00:49:47to get my own blanket.
00:49:48Is that not allowed?
00:49:49Huh.
00:49:50What arrogance.
00:49:51This is the Imperial Palace.
00:49:52There's no such thing
00:49:53as yours or mine.
00:49:54Don't think that
00:49:54just because
00:49:54Malin lost
00:49:55so you can do
00:49:55whatever you want.
00:49:58Who said
00:49:59you could come in?
00:50:00Move aside.
00:50:00Avalyn!
00:50:11Avalyn!
00:50:12Are you alright?
00:50:14Who did this?
00:50:16Victor Langley
00:50:17why is he here?
00:50:18Could it be
00:50:19that he is...
00:50:20You want to die?
00:50:23Your Majesty!
00:50:29You're the Emperor.
00:50:30You're His Majesty.
00:50:35Insolent servant!
00:50:39You must never
00:50:40let her discover
00:50:41your true identity.
00:50:52My deepest apologies,
00:50:53Your Majesty.
00:50:54I merely saw someone
00:50:55injured and acted
00:50:56out of concern.
00:50:59Fortunately,
00:51:00it wasn't His Majesty.
00:51:01But...
00:51:02Has Master Langley
00:51:03been by His Majesty's side?
00:51:05Master Langley...
00:51:07What is going on here?
00:51:09Oh...
00:51:10This young guy here...
00:51:12He bests a strike
00:51:12in resemblance
00:51:13to His Majesty.
00:51:14I specifically
00:51:14brought him to the palace
00:51:15to interrogate him.
00:51:16The...
00:51:17The...
00:51:17I...
00:51:19You,
00:51:19the new one.
00:51:20I'm going to be
00:51:20so ignorant of the rules.
00:51:21Don't you notice
00:51:22you behave yourself here?
00:51:23I humbly apologize.
00:51:25I acknowledge my error.
00:51:27Madam Langston,
00:51:28I beg your pardon.
00:51:29It's entirely my fault
00:51:30for causing
00:51:30this young officer concern.
00:51:32If you understand
00:51:32your error,
00:51:33then leave at once.
00:51:34As for you...
00:51:47Fraternizing with the guards
00:51:49is a grave matter.
00:51:50Yet Madam Williams
00:51:51merely punished her
00:51:52with kneeling.
00:51:53The last time
00:51:53she stole a jade pendant,
00:51:54that incident
00:51:55was also swept
00:51:56under the rug.
00:51:57Tell me,
00:51:58if His Majesty
00:51:59knew she had stolen
00:52:00his jade pendant,
00:52:01how do you think
00:52:02he would handle her?
00:52:03I shall inform
00:52:14His Majesty at once.
00:52:16It was you
00:52:16who stole his jade pendant.
00:52:18Let us see
00:52:18if he will still
00:52:19let 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!
00:52:28You foolish serpent!
00:52:30What have you put
00:52:31in this ball?
00:52:31I obtained the recipe
00:52:34from a tallist
00:52:34who claimed
00:52:35they could enhance
00:52:36one's beauty
00:52:36when consumed.
00:52:40I only wished
00:52:41to do what was best
00:52:42for Madam Williams,
00:52:43which is why
00:52:43I acted so foolishly.
00:52:44How dare you serve
00:52:45something of unknown
00:52:47origin to ma'am
00:52:47if this rash on her face
00:52:49does not fade?
00:52:51How will you atone
00:52:52for this?
00:52:53Madam?
00:52:54Guards!
00:52:54Drag her away
00:52:55and sell her
00:52:56to a slave trader.
00:52:57Madam Williams,
00:52:58have mercy!
00:52:59Madam,
00:52:59have mercy!
00:53:00please!
00:53:00Madam!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:02Madam,
00:53:03have mercy!
00:53:04Madam!
00:53:05Madam,
00:53:06may I be permitted
00:53:10to try?
00:53:11You?
00:53:13You?
00:53:14I've studied
00:53:15medical texts
00:53:16and I can prepare
00:53:17herbal remedy
00:53:18that might alleviate
00:53:19the rash on your face.
00:53:20if my myths
00:53:28prove effective,
00:53:29I beg you,
00:53:30Madam,
00:53:31to spare Isabella's life.
00:53:42His Majesty
00:53:43has not paid me attention
00:53:44for a long time,
00:53:46yet I hear
00:53:46he has recently
00:53:47been visiting
00:53:48Imperial Household Bureau.
00:53:50Tell me who
00:53:50could be
00:53:51in the Imperial Household Bureau
00:53:52to capture
00:53:52His Majesty's
00:53:53interests so deeply.
00:53:55I don't know!
00:53:56I know nothing!
00:53:57Speak!
00:54:02I remember now!
00:54:03There is indeed
00:54:03someone
00:54:04who dares
00:54:05to do such a thing!
00:54:05It may not look appealing,
00:54:18but it is true
00:54:19that the rash
00:54:20has faded somewhat.
00:54:24It seems
00:54:25you do have
00:54:26some skill.
00:54:27Thank you
00:54:28for your praise,
00:54:29Madam.
00:54:29Adam,
00:54:30you need to only
00:54:31wait six more hours
00:54:32and the rash
00:54:33will completely disappear.
00:54:34what are you trying
00:54:53to do now?
00:55:01If it weren't
00:55:02for you today,
00:55:03I might have already
00:55:04been taken away.
00:55:06As for what happened
00:55:07before,
00:55:07I owe you an apology.
00:55:09I will accept
00:55:09any punishment
00:55:10or scolding you,
00:55:10see fit!
00:55:19Why would I scold you?
00:55:23So you're willing
00:55:24to forgive me?
00:55:25you're not
00:55:28entirely a bad person.
00:55:30It's just
00:55:31that your words
00:55:32can be utterly vicious.
00:55:41Let's go.
00:55:46Your Majesty,
00:55:48I believe
00:55:49that His Majesty's
00:55:50insistence
00:55:51on making
00:55:51Lady Evelyn
00:55:52the Empress
00:55:52does not seem
00:55:53like a mere impulse.
00:55:55Lady Evelyn
00:55:56truly possesses
00:55:57remarkable qualities.
00:56:00Let's eat
00:56:01her chestnut cake.
00:56:02It was her!
00:56:12It was you
00:56:13who seduced
00:56:13His Majesty.
00:56:17You're just
00:56:18stuck to face
00:56:18of yours.
00:56:19No wonder
00:56:19you can't
00:56:19stay out of trouble.
00:56:21His Majesty's
00:56:22finding a bride
00:56:22outside the palace.
00:56:23But when did
00:56:25your lowly servants
00:56:26dare to entertain
00:56:27such wicked thoughts?
00:56:28When did Evelyn
00:56:29ever seduce
00:56:30His Majesty?
00:56:31Isabella,
00:56:31have you forgotten
00:56:32how much we suffered
00:56:33because of her?
00:56:33Evelyn never once
00:56:34provoked me intentionally.
00:56:35It was you
00:56:36who kept picking
00:56:37fights deliberately.
00:56:39Isabella!
00:56:41Do you even know
00:56:42who I am?
00:56:43How dare you act
00:56:43so insolently
00:56:44in my presence?
00:56:46Susan.
00:56:50Wait!
00:56:50The person
00:56:52standing before you
00:56:53is Lady Caldwell,
00:56:54daughter of Chancellor Caldwell.
00:56:55She's the one
00:56:56the Empress
00:56:56Godwager
00:56:57has chosen
00:56:58to be Empress.
00:56:58What a fool!
00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell
00:57:00is the esteemed
00:57:01daughter of the Chancellor,
00:57:02surely you are
00:57:02a reasonable person.
00:57:04We have never even
00:57:04met His Majesty.
00:57:05So how could there be
00:57:06any talk of seduction?
00:57:07I beg you,
00:57:08Lady Caldwell,
00:57:08spare me.
00:57:10I heard from Eleanor
00:57:11that you not only
00:57:11seduced His Majesty,
00:57:13but also entangled
00:57:14yourself with the guards.
00:57:15That face of yours
00:57:16is too dangerous
00:57:17to keep him
00:57:18in there.
00:57:22Stop!
00:57:33Stop!

01:13:58when caught
01:13:59they tried to cover it up
01:14:01if they're this bold in broad daylight
01:14:02who knows what they do in secret
01:14:04your highness
01:14:06i did have a contact with the guard
01:14:09but before entering the palace
01:14:10we already had developed feelings
01:14:12in the palace
01:14:13we only met occasionally
01:14:15there was nothing improper
01:14:17if you weren't guilty
