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!
00:00:40Sister…
00:00:43Why?
00:00:44Do call me Sister!
00:00:45You are unworthy!
00:00:46We are both daughters of the Sterling family!
00:00:48Why should you live better than me!?
00:00:50If only Agent Montague caught my bridal bow these years ago…
00:00:55Ha ha ha haaker!
00:00:59A sword being over is nothing but an illusion.
00:01:02If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.
00:01:28Master, I have already spread the word.
00:01:33The noblemen from all around have heard that our daughters of the Sterling family are seeking husbands and are eager to compete for them.
00:01:40For a son-in-law of our family, at the very least, he must be a man of great status.
00:01:45You two better aim at the right man.
00:01:47Whichever of you marries well shall bring glory to our family.
00:01:50Have I been reborn to three years ago?
00:01:53The very day of the husband seeking bridal bond.
00:01:55My lady, it's time to cast your bond.
00:01:58Sister, please let me go first.
00:02:05In my past life, Josephine insists that I go first.
00:02:10Feigning modesty and humility.
00:02:12Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.
00:02:21Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me! Lady Josephine, come on!
00:02:25In this life, I have to marry Adrian!
00:02:38Tim, Adrian, second son of the Montagues.
00:02:41The Montague family are relatives of the royal family, which means we shall become royal king as well!
00:02:47I actually altered my fate.
00:02:51Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank, and I shall become a noble lady of honor!
00:02:58Josephine, you have schemed relentlessly.
00:03:01But little do you know that you're gonna suffer a lot in the evil Montague family.
00:03:05Great, great, great! The whole family is counting on you!
00:03:10Oh, stop flattering me!
00:03:12I'm doing this just for our family.
00:03:14Once I become Lady Montague, I shall be mindful of my words and actions, bringing prosperity to our family.
00:03:20Sister, what do you say?
00:03:23You are truly fortunate. As your sister, I am happy for you.
00:03:29Evelyn, Lady Luck is with me this time. In this life, I will never let you overshadow me again.
00:03:41That is...
00:03:42Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:03:47Master, if the Empress tower would you find, so 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, Mr. Darling, search for 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 that suffer a lot.
00:04:10This time, I shall let you taste the pain of being abandoned by your own kin.
00:04:16Master, our family has now secured ties with the Montagues.
00:04:19Mother, how could you say such a thing?
00:04:24Sister has always been lucky and she would never bring shame upon us.
00:04:27In my opinion, in the moment, she will surely get the finest husband.
00:04:32Powerful or not, rich or not, it's only written on water.
00:04:46In this life, I seek only a true companion to live a peaceful life till the end.
00:04:51It's him.
00:05:06It's him.
00:05:07The beggar that Josephine ran away from.
00:05:10Oh, oh no. It actually went to a beggar.
00:05:16Sister, what terrible luck you have.
00:05:19A beggar out of so many people down there.
00:05:21How do you expect father to hold his head high?
00:05:24Dammit!
00:05:25With so many people down there, how could you cast it to a beggar?
00:05:29Are you deliberately trying to shame me?
00:05:31What's done is done, sister. Do not be too upset.
00:05:34Though he is of lowly birth, but look, at least he got a pretty face.
00:05:40It is only a pity for you, sister, raising comfort and luxury.
00:05:43But now bound to a beggar, you shall have to labor yourself to earn your bread.
00:05:49Now this will be quite the spectacle.
00:05:51The esteemed Lady Evelyn will marry a beggar?
00:05:53Everyone is watching.
00:05:54If she refuses, it's going to ruin their credit.
00:05:57Who would associate with them more?
00:05:58Hey, hey, hey. Seize her. Don't let her escape.
00:06:05Master, how did this bridal bull end up in your hands?
00:06:08What should we do now? Let's discard it.
00:06:11I'm dressed in such rags.
00:06:13She won't agree.
00:06:17Sister, why are you running?
00:06:19You cast the bridal bull yourself.
00:06:22You damn girl.
00:06:24Look at the filthy beggar you've got.
00:06:26If he becomes my son-in-law, it's going to be a huge disgrace to us.
00:06:33In my past life, I was mistreated by the Montagues and used for Sterling's ambitions.
00:06:39Thinking back now, perhaps marrying a beggar would be a better fate.
00:06:43The rule of the bridal bull is binding.
00:06:46Since he caught the bull, you should...
00:06:48I am willing to marry him.
00:06:50My name is Evelyn Sterling.
00:07:01What's yours?
00:07:03I am Luke...
00:07:04Lucas Prescott.
00:07:10With all present as my witnesses today,
00:07:14I, Evelyn Sterling,
00:07:15Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband?
00:07:24Are you serious?
00:07:27Yeah.
00:07:29The ball is in your hands.
00:07:31You want to...
00:07:32reject me?
00:07:34I didn't.
00:07:36It's just that I'm poor as hell.
00:07:38Marrying me would mean a life of a certainty.
00:07:41Are you sure?
00:07:41We're not disabled or something.
00:07:46We may be poor now,
00:07:47but we can always earn our money.
00:07:50We can work hard
00:07:51to make a living ourselves.
00:07:54I've never seen someone so easily content.
00:07:57He's just a filthy beggar!
00:07:59You're really gonna marry him?
00:08:01Evelyn,
00:08:02you're sure about this?
00:08:04Marry this beggar
00:08:05and your future is ruined!
00:08:08I do not believe that is true.
00:08:10Future won't be decided like that.
00:08:12Lucas,
00:08:13he may be in rags now,
00:08:15but I can see his humility
00:08:16and good manner.
00:08:18He's gonna make a difference, maybe.
00:08:20You are...
00:08:21Rule is rule.
00:08:23You're not eating your words,
00:08:25are you, sir?
00:08:25Indeed.
00:08:26If he refuses,
00:08:28that's breaking the rules
00:08:29and gonna ruin their reputation.
00:08:31Seems well,
00:08:31she has to marry him.
00:08:32Indeed, marry him!
00:08:33Indeed, marry him!
00:08:34Marry him!
00:08:35Since you want to marry him,
00:08:37don't blame us in the future.
00:08:39You won't get a share
00:08:41of the coming glory of us!
00:08:43I understand.
00:08:44The matchmaking is concluded.
00:08:47Everyone disperse!
00:08:51Sister,
00:08:52no hard feelings.
00:08:55But marrying a beggar
00:08:57means you will spend your life beneath me.
00:09:01You should worry about yourself.
00:09:04Life with the Monticefus
00:09:05is not as easy
00:09:07as you imagine.
00:09:08Hmph!
00:09:15You!
00:09:18Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:09:20In three days,
00:09:22remember to come to propose.
00:09:23It's her or Mother's pressing,
00:09:25so I might as well...
00:09:27All right!
00:09:28I'll be there.
00:09:29Today,
00:09:35the second daughter
00:09:35of the Sarlene family
00:09:36is to be wed.
00:09:38Her dowry includes
00:09:39a pair of gold phoenix hairpins
00:09:40laid with precious gems,
00:09:42plenty of boats
00:09:43of fine brocade,
00:09:44three land deeds
00:09:45for silk shops
00:09:46in the Eastern District.
00:09:47Lady Josephine Sterling's
00:09:48salary is worth a fortune,
00:09:50yet Lady Evelyn Sterling
00:09:51has nothing at all.
00:09:52They're both daughters
00:09:53of the Sarlene family,
00:09:54but the difference between them
00:09:55is astonishing.
00:09:56Sister,
00:09:57after marrying a beggar,
00:09:58you will likely toil
00:09:59for the rest of your life.
00:10:00I wonder if you can
00:10:01even endure such life.
00:10:11It's the bridegroom.
00:10:12The bridegroom has arrived.
00:10:15Oh,
00:10:16as expected of the second son
00:10:18of the Montague family,
00:10:19the spectacle is grand indeed.
00:10:21Of course,
00:10:21the Montagues
00:10:22hold immense power.
00:10:23Marrying into their family,
00:10:24Lady Josephine Sterling
00:10:25will live a life
00:10:26of endless luxury.
00:10:27Unlike Evelyn,
00:10:28marrying a beggar,
00:10:29this will certainly
00:10:30be an interesting sign
00:10:30to behold.
00:10:32My respects to my honor,
00:10:33father,
00:10:33and mother-in-law.
00:10:34Please rise,
00:10:35my son-in-law.
00:10:35My son-in-law.
00:10:36Such an elaborate
00:10:37wedding procession
00:10:39is a spectacle
00:10:39worthy of Highgate.
00:10:41For our dear Josephine
00:10:42to be regarded
00:10:43so highly by you
00:10:44is an honor
00:10:45to the Sterling family.
00:10:50Sister,
00:10:51the auspicious hour
00:10:52is nearly over.
00:10:53Why has your husband
00:10:53not come for you?
00:10:54Could it be that
00:10:55he's not coming
00:10:56at all?
00:11:04I,
00:11:04your humble son-in-law,
00:11:05greet my honored
00:11:06father-in-law.
00:11:12My lady.
00:11:13My lady.
00:11:18Are you here to beg
00:11:19for the alms
00:11:19or take a bride?
00:11:21Dressed in such rags,
00:11:22do you not feel ashamed?
00:11:23Compared to Lord Montague,
00:11:25you're as far apart
00:11:25as heaven
00:11:26and earth.
00:11:28Just what are you wearing?
00:11:29In front of so many
00:11:31esteemed officials,
00:11:32are you not bringing
00:11:33shame upon me?
00:11:34Today is your wedding day,
00:11:36and yet you came
00:11:37dressed like this?
00:11:38Do you not find
00:11:39this is a disgrace?
00:11:40Do you not finding
00:11:41this humiliating?
00:11:42Marriage is a lifelong
00:11:43commitment,
00:11:44building upon sincerity,
00:11:45not mere appearances.
00:11:46The men I,
00:11:47Evelyn Sterling,
00:11:48have chosen
00:11:48is not one whose worth
00:11:50can be swayed
00:11:50by idle words.
00:11:51Have you not
00:11:52embarrassed us enough?
00:11:54Sir,
00:11:54master,
00:11:55do not be anchored.
00:11:57From the moment
00:11:57Evelyn steps beyond
00:11:59this threshold,
00:12:00she'll no longer
00:12:01be a Sterling.
00:12:02The auspicious hour
00:12:03has arrived.
00:12:04Bring the bride
00:12:05to the carriage.
00:12:05The carriage.
00:12:10This is dead.
00:12:17Congratulations,
00:12:18master Sterling.
00:12:19Your son-in-law
00:12:20is truly an
00:12:20exceptional man.
00:12:24Many thanks,
00:12:25deputy minister.
00:12:26Please come inside.
00:12:27Off to you.
00:12:30Surely you didn't
00:12:31arrive on foot today.
00:12:34On such a big day,
00:12:35will you have the bride
00:12:36walk all the way
00:12:37to your home?
00:12:37Unheard of.
00:12:40Indeed.
00:12:41Not like my husband.
00:12:46My lady,
00:12:47please,
00:12:48allow me to take you home.
00:13:07Bow to the heavens
00:13:09and the earth.
00:13:11Is this the place
00:13:12they've found us
00:13:13to live in?
00:13:14Bow to the elders.
00:13:20A shabby place like this,
00:13:21is it even fit for living?
00:13:22I just didn't want you
00:13:24to blow your cover.
00:13:25And bow to each other
00:13:26as husband and wife.
00:13:28The ceremony is complete!
00:13:38My lady,
00:13:39I have put you
00:13:40through hardship,
00:13:41having a life with me
00:13:42in such a shabby place.
00:13:43Not at all.
00:13:44I actually think
00:13:46it's rather spacious.
00:13:48At least,
00:13:49it shields us
00:13:49from the wind and rain.
00:13:52If we work hard
00:13:53from now on,
00:13:53keep this place tidy,
00:13:55it'll soon feel
00:13:56much more comfortable.
00:13:56At this moment,
00:13:58I have nothing of value
00:13:59to give you.
00:14:01The shade pendant
00:14:02was left to me
00:14:03by my father.
00:14:04I've carried it with me
00:14:05all these years.
00:14:07And now,
00:14:08I'm giving it to you.
00:14:14It's so precious.
00:14:16Are you certain of it?
00:14:20Alright.
00:14:21I will cherish it well.
00:14:26You're up.
00:14:49Breakfast is ready.
00:14:50For you.
00:14:51Hi.
00:14:55Where are you going?
00:14:57Today is the wife's
00:14:58homecoming day.
00:14:59I made Talamaze
00:15:00from my parents,
00:15:01but they're not quite finished.
00:15:02I need to buy
00:15:02some more threats
00:15:03and complete them
00:15:04before I return home.
00:15:05Alright.
00:15:06I'll go with you.
00:15:07Alright.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:14Greetings,
00:15:15your majesty!
00:15:16Who are they?
00:15:27The palace is too complicated.
00:15:29Once everything's settled,
00:15:30I'll reveal my identity to Evelyn.
00:15:32They are...
00:15:33They're here for Victor.
00:15:37Yes, yes.
00:15:42I used to serve in the palace.
00:15:44These are all
00:15:44old acquaintances.
00:15:48Evelyn,
00:15:49I'll help Victor
00:15:50to entertain the guests.
00:15:51Will you be alright
00:15:52buying threat on your own?
00:15:55Yes.
00:15:55Speak!
00:16:09What happened?
00:16:10The Empress Dowager
00:16:10distressed over
00:16:11your majesty's presence
00:16:12and suddenly collapsed.
00:16:13What?
00:16:14Victor,
00:16:14stay here and protect your Evelyn.
00:16:16Let's head back.
00:16:17Yes, your majesty.
00:16:18Get someone
00:16:19to deliver some valuable gifts
00:16:20to Sterling Estate.
00:16:22Say that they're
00:16:23Evelyn's homecoming gifts.
00:16:24Yes, your majesty.
00:16:25Let's go.
00:16:26Father.
00:16:27Mother.
00:16:28Your daughter has returned.
00:16:31Father?
00:16:33Why has sister returned alone?
00:16:39Today is your homecoming day.
00:16:42Sister,
00:16:42why have you returned alone?
00:16:44Are you ashamed
00:16:45of your beggar husband?
00:16:47So you didn't even
00:16:48bring him to meet the family.
00:16:49My husband wanted to come,
00:16:51but something urgent came up.
00:16:53Since being married
00:16:54to the beggar,
00:16:54Lady Evelyn
00:16:55and Sterling
00:16:56must have suffered
00:16:57a great deal.
00:16:58You look much frailer
00:16:59than before.
00:17:01Had you not married
00:17:02that filthy beggar,
00:17:04perhaps I would have
00:17:04taken you as a concubine.
00:17:06At least you wouldn't have
00:17:07fallen to such a state.
00:17:08That will not be necessary.
00:17:09I am living well.
00:17:11As of for you, sister,
00:17:13it has been quite a few days
00:17:14since you had seen
00:17:15your husband before.
00:17:16You-
00:17:16Oh.
00:17:18Screw you, Adrian.
00:17:19Went drinking with
00:17:20coarsens on our wedding night
00:17:22and now everyone knows
00:17:23we are utterly humiliating me.
00:17:25Charles, I'll feed.
00:17:26Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
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
00:17:38have the face to come back?
00:17:39What does your husband
00:17:40do all day?
00:17:41Not even accompanying you
00:17:43for your homecoming.
00:17:44Mother,
00:17:45you're thinking
00:17:46too highly of her.
00:17:47That filthy beggar
00:17:48is probably begging
00:17:49in the streets right now how could he possibly compare to my husband father-in-law your humble
00:17:56son-in-law has brought a small gift 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 eight
00:18:11lifetimes unlike someone who chose a beggar as her husband our sterling family has raised you
00:18:18for so many years and yet you come back empty-handed on your homecoming day indeed sister this is my
00:18:26homecoming gift have you fallen into such poverty that you cannot even afford a proper homecoming gift
00:18:32father mother these are the two predictive talamans i made for you by hand a blessing to you both
00:18:44wishing you peace and prosperity
00:18:45get out what a disgrace sister is this truly what you've brought a few scraps of cloth with
00:18:58embroidery how dare you present these well she did marry a beggar so her gift befits her status
00:19:05perfectly all right she has married a beggar what else could we expect from her
00:19:12master madame someone from the palace has arrived with gifts they say they are the homecoming gifts
00:19:22from lady eflin
00:19:23master surly who exactly has your eldest daughter married a mountain debility
00:19:31even the palace saw fit to have me personally delivered this gift to you you must hold great
00:19:35influence indeed he's from the palace but it must be from his majesty himself it was personally
00:19:40arranged by the chief eunuch at his majesty's side he said for the sterling family's
00:19:45eldest daughter
00:19:48mr ashford you must be mistaken all 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
00:20:08indeed in this world those seeking favor with the montague family are countless
00:20:15even those in the palace are paying their respects father-in-law
00:20:18please accept with joy
00:20:20josephine has married a remarkable husband
00:20:24just look at the grandeur of her homecoming such lavish gifts
00:20:28our sterling family is truly honored beyond measure
00:20:31the gifts have been delivered i shall take my leave
00:20:36oh take care
00:20:37take care
00:20:39sister
00:20:41my husband has prepared two sets of homecoming gifts seeing all these
00:20:46do 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 i've poured my heart and effort into raising you and yet
00:20:56not only did you marry a beggar but you even bring back these worthless rags to disgrace me
00:21:00the sterling family has no place for such a disgraceful daughter
00:21:03simply because i married lucas you feel justified to humiliate me like this
00:21:09josephine acts in the best interest of the sterling family unlike you who married a beggar
00:21:14bringing disgrace upon us all
00:21:16disgrace
00:21:18it'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
00:21:29in your eyes
00:21:32a daughter is nothing more than a pawn to secure power and favor
00:21:36outrageous
00:21:37how dare you
00:21:39speak to your father in such a manner
00:21:41a dragon jade pendant

00:22:00from where did you steal it sister
00:22:03it 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
00:22:14what 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

00:22:43am i not also your daughter
00:22:45you insisted on marrying a beggar
00:22:47bringing shame upon the sterling family
00:22:50you are unworthy to be my daughter

00:22:54josephine
00:22:55for the rest of my life
00:23:04i seek only to be with the one who is true of heart
00:23:07even if i must live on plain fair
00:23:09it is better than enduring cold disdain

00:23:13since that is the case
00:23:14hi evelyn sterling
00:23:25severe all ties with the sterling family

00:24:17once body and soul are bestowed by one's parents
00:24:24if you wish to sever ties
00:24:26you must first repay your parents kindness
00:24:29my lady speaks most reasonably
00:24:31given your current state
00:24:33it would be far too much to expect that you present anything of great value
00:24:37then you have no choice but to walk barefoot
00:24:39across this bed of burning charcoal
00:24:41i displeasing so fiercely
00:24:44how could anyone survive walking across them
00:24:47i will not walk

00:25:46after all
00:25:46what does a beggar have to his name but worthless trinkets
00:25:50this jade pendant is likely his most treasured possession

00:47:58uh my father
00:48:00my father once won first place in the imperial exam
00:48:03to encourage outstanding scholars
00:48:04his majesty rewarded him with the jade pendant

00:48:08oh
00:48:09i see
00:48:10all they say is his majesty his majesty

00:49:20why is madam williams always picking on me
00:49:23madam williams 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
00:49:29the pendant wasn't stolen at all
00:49:31stop falsely accusing me
00:49:32not stolen

00:50:42my deepest apologies your majesty

00:50:56unfortunately it wasn't his majesty
00:51:01but

00:51:34as for you
00:51:45fraternizing with the guards is a grave matter

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

00:53:06madame
00:53:06madame
00:53:08madame
00:53:09madame
00:53:39His 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. I know nothing.
00:53:58Speak!
00:54:01I remember now. There is indeed someone who dares to do such a thing.
00:54:09It 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.
00:54:29Madam, you need to only wait six more hours, and the rash will completely disappear.
00:54:39What are you trying to do now?
00:55:01If it weren't for you today, I might have already been taken away.
00:55:05As for what happened before, I owe you an apology.
00:55:09I will accept any punishment or scolding you see fit.
00:55:19Why would I scold you?
00:55:23So you're willing to forgive me?
00:55:27You're not entirely a bad person.
00:55:29It's just that your words can be utterly vicious.
00:55:41Let's go.
00:55:46Her Majesty.
00:55:48I believe that His Majesty's insistence on making Lady Evelyn the Empress does not seem like a mere impulse.
00:55:55Lady Evelyn truly possesses remarkable qualities.
00:55:58Let's eat her chestnut cake.
00:56:02It was her.
00:56:12It 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's finding a bride outside the palace is wondering.
00:56:23But when did your lowly servants dare to entertain such wicked thoughts?
00:56:28When did Evelyn ever seduce His Majesty?
00:56:31Isabella, have you forgotten how much we suffered because of her?
00:56:33Evelyn never once provoked me intentionally.
00:56:35It was you who kept picking fights deliberately.
00:56:39Isabella.
00:56:41Do you even know who I am?
00:56:43How dare you act so insolently in my presence?
00:56:46Susan.
00:56:47Wait.
00:56:50The person standing before you is Lady Caldwell, daughter of Chancellor Caldwell.
00:56:55She's the one the Empress Dodge Rager has chosen to be Empress.
00:56:58What a fool.
00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell is the esteemed daughter of the Chancellor, surely you are a reasonable person.
00:57:04We have never even met His Majesty.
00:57:05So how could there be any talk of seduction?
00:57:07I beg you, Lady Caldwell.
00:57:09Spare me.
00:57:09I heard from Eleanor that you not only seduced His Majesty, but also entangled yourself with the guards.
00:57:15That face of yours is too dangerous to keep him in front of you.
00:57:23Stop!
00:57:34Stop!
00:57:34Stop!
00:57:39The 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.
00:58:03Preposterous!
00:58:04Do you even know who stands before you?
00:58:05Aren't you just a lowborn servant?
00:58:10If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never learn your place.
00:58:14Restrainer as well.
00:58:16Eleanor, you wouldn't dare.
00:58:22I 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, the Embrace Dowager?
00:58:32A disfigured old wretch like you, dare 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 of 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.
00:59:01I beg you to show mercy.
00:59:03As the head of the Imperial House of Europe, you have allowed your mage to refuse to see the Majesty.
00:59:07Such behavior is a dangerous example.
00:59:09This is unforgivable.
00:59:11Fetch my way.
00:59:17The Spring Blossom Banquet will be held at the beginning of next month.
00:59:20This year, all the nobles and dignitaries will be in attendance.
00:59:23Everything must be prepared perfectly.
00:59:25Your Majesty, rest assured.
00:59:26I will spare no effort in ensuring its success.
00:59:31You insolent servant.
00:59:33How dare you disturb His Majesty?
00:59:35His Majesty?
00:59:37This 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.
00:59:43What are you doing?
01:00:09It was me who offended Lady Cowan, and I did not wish for him, who suffered 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 Dowager.
01:00:32Anna Caldwell!
01:00:32Do you know who you are about to whip?
01:00:38Your Majesty?
01:00:41I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:44I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:46The Empress Dowager?
01:00:48How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:55How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:58How is this possible?
01:00:59Her Majesty was merely testing you, but she never expected you to be so insolent.
01:01:05How dare you overstep and offend Her Majesty herself?
01:01:09Your Majesty, this humble subject admits her fault.
01:01:13I failed to recognize that you were the Empress Dowager.
01:01:15I beg Your Majesty for forgiveness.
01:01:17I beg the Emperor for mercy.
01:01:19The Emperor?
01:01:20The Emperor?
01:01:24This humble official believes this matters are of great importance.
01:01:27It concerns the dignity of the Empress Dowager.
01:01:28I implore Your Majesty to carefully consider the matter.
01:01:37Exactly.
01:01:38How could you dare to offend the Empress Dowager?
01:01:42Admit your fault at once!
01:01:43The temple subject admits my fault.
01:01:46Your Majesty, it was this wretched man.
01:01:48She told me to seduce His Majesty.
01:01:52This is why I lost my composure.
01:01:54Lady Caldwell, it was clearly you!
01:01:56If it weren't for your manipulation, how could I have spoken so recklessly before the Empress Dowager?
01:02:00The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble.
01:02:04Take her away and sell her at once!
01:02:07The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble.
01:02:10Take her away and sell her at once!
01:02:11Your Majesty, have mercy!
01:02:13I did not spread rumors!
01:02:14I saw Evelyn flirting with the guards!
01:02:16I truly did not spread rumors!
01:02:17Your Majesty!
01:02:19I beg Your Majesty!
01:02:20You are the eldest daughter of the sturdy camera!
01:02:22How dare you!
01:02:22Anna Caldwell, I always believed you to be a kind-hearted, yet I never expected you to be ruthless.
01:02:28You've overstepped your place and still dared to dream of becoming Empress.
01:02:31You're sentenced to one year in the Office of Discipline to reflect on your actions.
01:02:34Office of Discipline?
01:02:35No, Your Majesty!
01:02:36This almost object admits her fault!
01:02:38Your Majesty, please spare me!
01:02:40I do not want to get to the Office of Discipline!
01:02:41I have questions for you.
01:02:53Where is Her Majesty taking them?
01:03:03Evelyn!
01:03:05Lucas!
01:03:06Did the Empress daughter punish you?
01:03:07Of course not!
01:03:08Her Majesty wished to discuss the Springblotten Banquet with me.
01:03:12That's a relief.
01:03:14Evelyn.
01:03:17Evelyn has passed the test!
01:03:18Wonderful!
01:03:19I will reveal my identity to her and make her my Empress!
01:03:22There is no need to rush the coronation.
01:03:25The Ministry of Rights is preparing for the Springblotten 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!
01:03:38Why not let Evelyn organize the Springblotten 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 Springblotten Banquet.
01:03:51Me?
01:03:52I don't know how to organize it.
01:03:57Don't worry.
01:03:59Trust your abilities.
01:04:00You shall triumph.
01:04:01I'll also assist you behind the scenes.
01:04:07All right.
01:04:08Get moving, all of you.
01:04:16If anyone there is a slack off, my whip shows no mercy.
01:04:25Useless 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.
01:04:33Everett Sterling, this is all your fault!
01:04:43Don't touch me!
01:04:45I'm the daughter of Chancellor Cladwell!
01:04:47You better show some respect!
01:04:49The daughter of Chancellor Cladwell!
01:04:56In my past life, Adrian Montauk was promoted by the Empress Elwiger during the Springblotten Banquet!
01:05:01If I can escape this wretched place, and find a way to bring Adrian to the Springblotten Banquet, I can surely turn things around.
01:05:14What a wretched place!
01:05:16They expect me and ladies to wash my clothes myself?
01:05:18Where did this lowly maid come from?
01:05:26Lady, 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.
01:05:40My eldest sister Evelyn Sterling is the reason I was in prison here.
01:05:44If you help escape, I shall be forever indebted to you.
01:05:48Evelyn Sterling.
01:05:50Evelyn Sterling.
01:05:51Evelyn Sterling.
01:05:56Not bad.
01:05:57The banquet itinerary is clear and well structured.
01:05:59It is evident that much effort was put into it, and trusting you at the banquet's organization was indeed a wide choice.
01:06:05Many thanks for your majesty's praise.
01:06:07Your majesty!
01:06:08Terrible news!
01:06:09The Office of Discipline is on fire!
01:06:10The Office of Discipline is on fire!
01:06:11What?!
01:06:18Sir, what is the situation inside?
01:06:21The fire has engulfed the entire rear courtyard.
01:06:23Nearly half the people couldn't make it out.
01:06:24Anna Caldwell.
01:06:25Your majesty!
01:06:26Your majesty!
01:06:27This humble subject has come to realize my mistakes!
01:06:29I beg you to spare me from this punishment!
01:06:30The Office of Discipline is a place I cannot enjoy even for a single day longer!
01:06:34As long as you're alive, at least this allows me to account for your well-being to your father.
01:06:39Enough!
01:06:40With your temperament staying in the Office of Discipline would serve no purpose!
01:06:41Next month you shall be the one to marry into Lyra Empire.
01:06:42What?
01:06:43I'm married to Lyra?
01:06:44What?
01:06:45Are you unwilling?
01:06:46Or would you prefer to continue staying in the Office of Discipline?
01:06:49Is there to outright be a business to keep you in?
01:06:50Or would you prefer to keep you in the Office of Discipline?
01:06:51Yes or would you prefer to keep you in the Office of Discipline?
01:06:52Is it you should be an an owner of your majesty's duty?
01:06:53In the office of Discipline is the place I cannot enjoy even for a single day longer.
01:06:55As long as you're alive, at least this allows me to account for your well-being to your father.
01:06:57Enough!
01:06:58With your temperament, staying in the Office of Discipline would serve no purpose.
01:07:00What? Are you unwilling? Or would you prefer to continue staying in the Office of Discipline?
01:07:10No. This humble subject humbly obeys your majesty's decree. I shall depart for the marriage alliance next month.
01:07:21However, I have an impertinent request. I was able to escape this calamity.
01:07:27Thanks to Josephine Sterling risking her life to save, I dare to ask that your majesty release Josephine Sterling from the Office of Discipline.
01:07:35I pay your respects to your majesty.
01:07:40I remember. Josephine is your sister. Tell me, how should I reward her?
01:07:50Empress Dowager, we were never close since childhood. Our bond is not strong. I don't get a say in this.
01:08:00Since you have agreed to the marriage alliance, then so be it. Let's go back.
01:08:06Thank you for your grace.
01:08:08Thank you for your grace.
01:08:18Evan Sterling. I thought you had sword height already. Turns out you're still that low. You've ruined our parents and montags.
01:08:28And also got me thrown into the Office of Discipline. About that, I will make sure you pay it.
01:08:46Edmund, let me out please. This is driving me crazy.
01:08:50You don't get to complain. If it weren't for you and Josephine, two fools, I wouldn't have offended his majesty and lost my position.
01:09:02It's all Josephine's fault.
01:09:06Husband!
01:09:08Why are you back?
01:09:10The Empress Dowager pardoned me. I'm released from Office of Discipline.
01:09:16After everything you put us through, you still have the guts to come back?
01:09:20Edmund, it's all because Evelyn. Instead of blaming each other here, you should think how to get back at her.
01:09:28Get back at her? She's like royalty now. How to get back at her, huh?
01:09:34I saw her once at the Office of Discipline.
01:09:38She was wearing a lonely palace maid's uniform. I don't think she's royal.
01:09:44A palace maid?
01:09:46Could it be that His Majesty married her on a whim?
01:09:50Totally! If His Majesty really liked her, why would she be wearing that uniform?
01:09:54Spring Blossom Banquet is coming. All the nobles will be present then. It's the perfect opportunity.
01:10:02Spring Blossom Banquet? We're invited too!
01:10:06So I can go then?
01:10:10What are you scheming this time?
01:10:14Don't worry. At the banquet, I'll impress everyone. As long as I win the Empress Dowager's favor, our family will rise again!
01:10:24It's gonna be all nobles and high officials. Check everything thoroughly. We cannot afford any mistakes.
01:10:42Stop worrying. We've confirmed every detail multiple times already. There won't be any problems.
01:10:58Let's hope so.
01:11:00Avalyn!
01:11:02Avalyn!
01:11:04If you like these pastries, I can get you more.
01:11:16Glad this is a remote area with no patrols. Otherwise, I can't meet like this.
01:11:22Avalyn!
01:11:36Avalyn!
01:11:38Once the banquet ends, wait for me here. I got something to tell you.
01:11:42Alright. I'll wait for you here.
01:11:44Avalyn!

01:12:30Avalyn!
01:12:31This is the Imperial Palace, not your place, alright?
01:12:41Everything you do here is watched 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.
01:12:58If not, you'll get kicked out.
01:13:02You were lucky to have gone away last time.
01:13:06No one can protect you this time.
01:13:10What do you mean?
01:13:12I want to destroy you from head to toe.
01:13:17Greetings, Empress Gouger.
01:13:28Greetings, Empress Gouger.
01:13:30Evelyn.
01:13:32Preparing the banquet must be exhausting.
01:13:34Once it is over, I will reward you properly.
01:13:38It's just my duty. Thanks for your grace.
01:13:42Your Highness, I have something to say.
01:13:44Speak.
01:13:46I wish to report Evelyn's improper relationship with the Guard.
01:13:52Oh?
01:13:52I saw it with my own eyes.
01:13:55Evelyn and a guard were extremely intimate.
01:13:58When caught, they tried to cover it up.
01:14:00If they're this bold in broad daylight, who knows what they do in secret?
01:14:05Your Highness, I did have a contact with the Guard.
01:14:09But before entering the palace, we already had developed feelings.
01:14:12In the palace, we only met occasionally.
01:14:15There was nothing improper.
01:14:16If you weren't guilty, why did you hurry away in that moment you saw us?
01:14:21This should be punishable by death.
01:14:25Your Highness, I insist on seeing if this matter deserves punishment.
