Transcript

00:00:00Lady Evelyn Sterling from the Montagues, a woman of virtue, diligent and gentle, hereby

00:00:05bestow the title of First Rank 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!

00:00:43tı vain!

00:00:44Sister!

00:00:45Oi!

00:00:46Don't call me sister.

00:00:47You are an unworthy.

00:00:48We are both daughters of the Sterling family.

00:00:49Why should you live better than me?

00:00:51If only Adrian Montech caught my bridle bow, 3 years ago.

00:00:55This little recovery is nothing but an illusion.

00:01:03If 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.

00:01:47Whichever of you marries well shall bring glory to our family.

00:01:50Have I been reborn just three years ago?

00:01:53The very day of the husband seeking bridal ball.

00:01:55My lady, it's time to cast your ball.

00:02:01Sister, please let me go first.

00:02:05In my past life, Josephine insists that I go first.

00:02:10Feigning modesty and humility.

00:02:12Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.

00:02:21Lady Josephine, this way!

00:02:22Give it to me!

00:02:23Lady Josephine, come on!

00:02:26In 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 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!

00:02:58Josephine, you have schemed relentlessly.

00:03:01But little do you know that you're going to suffer a lot in the evil Montague family.

00:03:05Great, great, great!

00:03:09The whole family is counting on you!

00:03:10Oh, stop flattering me!

00:03:12I'm doing this just for our family.

00:03:14Once I become Lady Montague, I shall be mindful of my words and actions, bringing prosperity to our family.

00:03:19Sister, what do you say?

00:03:24You are truly fortunate.

00:03:26As your sister, I am happy for you.

00:03:29Evelyn, Lady Luck is with me this time.

00:03:32In this life, I will never let you overshadow me again.

00:03:36That is...

00:03:42Your Majesty!

00:03:45Your Majesty!

00:03:47Master, if the Empress tower you find, you're dressed like this.

00:03:51Mother's been always pressing me.

00:03:53I can only leave the palace for some peace.

00:03:56This is a perfect chance to experience the life of ordinary folk.

00:04:00Hurry, you starlings are still the bridal ball for marriage.

00:04:03Let's have a look.

00:04:04In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal ball.

00:04:08I 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.

00:04:21Evelyn, now it's your turn.

00:04:23And 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.

00:04:32In my opinion, in the moment, she will surely get the finest husband.

00:04:41Powerful or not, rich or not, it's only written on water.

00:04:46In 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 no, it actually went to a beggar.

00:05:16Sister, what terrible luck you have.

00:05:19A beggar out of so many people down there.

00:05:21How do you expect father to hold his head high?

00:05:24Damn it!

00:05:25With so many people down there, how could you cast it to a beggar?

00:05:29Are you deliberately trying to shame me?

00:05:31What's done is done, sister.

00:05:33Do not be too upset.

00:05:35Though 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.

00:05:56Who would associate with them more?

00:06:01Hey, hey, hey, seize her!

00:06:04Don't let her escape!

00:06:05Master, how did this bridal bull end up in your hands?

00:06:08What should we do now?

00:06:09It's the Scottish!

00:06:11I'm dressed in such rags.

00:06:13She won't agree.

00:06:17Sister, why are you running?

00:06:19You cast the bridal bull yourself!

00:06:22You damn girl!

00:06:24Look at the filthy beggar you've got!

00:06:26If he becomes my son-in-law,

00:06:29it's going to be a huge disgrace to us!

00:06:33In my past life, I was mistreated by the Montagues

00:06:36and 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...

00:07:05Lucas Prescott.

00:07:11With all present as my witnesses today,

00:07:14I, Evelyn Sterling,

00:07:15willing to take Lucas Prescott as my husband,

00:07:19Are you serious?

00:07:27Yeah.

00:07:29The ball is in your hands.

00:07:31You want to...

00:07:32reject me?

00:07:34I didn't.

00:07:36It's just that I'm poor as hell.

00:07:38Marrying me would mean a life of uncertainty.

00:07:41Are you sure?

00:07:43We'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.

00:08:11Lucas,

00:08:12Lucas,

00:08:12he may be in rags now,

00:08:14but 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,

00:08:27that'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!

00:08:34Indeed, marry 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 Montague's

00:09:05is not as easy as you imagine.

00:09:08Hmph!

00:09:15You!

00:09:19In 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...

00:09:27Alright!

00:09:28I'll be there.

00:09:31Today,

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

00:09:54between them is 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.

00:10:13Oh,

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 be

00:10:30an interesting sight to behold.

00:10:32My respects to my honor,

00:10:33father and 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?

00:10:55Could it be that

00:10:55he's not coming at 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.

00:11:17My 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 are as far

00:11:25as heaven and 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 find

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 man 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?

00:11:54Dear master,

00:11:55do not be anchored.

00:11:56From 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.

00:12:12This is the...

00:12:14the bride walk all the way

00:12:37to your home?

00:12:37Unheard of.

00:12:39Indeed.

00:12:41Not like my husband.

00:12:46My lady,

00:12:47please,

00:12:48allow me to take you home.

00:12:49bow to the heavens

00:13:09and the earth.

00:13:11Is this the place

00:13:12you've found us to live in?

00:13:13A shabby place like this?

00:13:21Is it even fit for living?

00:13:23I 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!

00:13:36My lady,

00:13:39I have put you

00:13:40through hardship

00:13:40having 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.

00:13:57At 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

00:14:05with me all 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 telemeds

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 ma-

00:15:15Greetings,

00:15:15your majesty!

00:15:16Greetings,

00:15:21your majesty!

00:15:21Greetings, your majesty!

00:15:26Who are they?

00:15:27The palace is too complicated.

00:15:29Once everything's settled,

00:15:30I'll reveal my identity

00:15:31to Evelyn.

00:15:32They are...

00:15:33They're here for Victor.

00:15:37Yes, yes.

00:15:42I used to serve

00:15:43in 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

00:16:15your Evelyn.

00:16:16Let's head back.

00:16:17Yes, your majesty.

00:16:18Get someone

00:16:19to deliver

00:16:20some 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?

00:16:32Why has sister

00:16:34returned alone?

00:16:39Today is your

00:16:40homecoming day.

00:16:42Sister,

00:16:42why have you

00:16:43returned 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

00:16:49the family.

00:16:49My husband wanted

00:16:50to come,

00:16:51but something

00:16:52urgent came up.

00:16:53Since being married

00:16:54to the beggar,

00:16:55Lady Evelyn

00:16:55and Sterling,

00:16:56must have suffered

00:16:57a great deal.

00:16:58You look much

00:16:58frailer than 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

00:17:06have fallen to such

00:17:07a state.

00:17:08That will not be

00:17:09necessary.

00:17:10I am living well.

00:17:11As of for you,

00:17:12sister,

00:17:13it has been

00:17:13quite a few days

00:17:14since you had

00:17:15seen your husband

00:17:16before.

00:17:16You...

00:17:16Screw you,

00:17:19Adrian.

00:17:19Went drinking

00:17:20with corsets

00:17:21on our wedding

00:17:21night,

00:17:22and now everyone

00:17:22knows we are

00:17:23utterly humiliating

00:17:24me.

00:17:25Josephine.

00:17:30Father,

00:17:31mother.

00:17:32Greetings to you

00:17:33both.

00:17:34Greetings to you

00:17:35both.

00:17:36You've returned

00:17:36alone.

00:17:37How can you

00:17:38still have the

00:17:38face to come

00:17:39back?

00:17:39What does your

00:17:40husband do all

00:17:41day,

00:17:41not even

00:17:42accompanying you

00:17:43for your

00:17:43homecoming?

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

00:17:50right now.

00:17:51How could he

00:17:51possibly compare

00:17:52to my husband?

00:17:54Father-in-law,

00:17:56your humble son-in-law

00:17:56has brought a

00:17:57small gift.

00:18:03Our dear

00:18:04Josephine has

00:18:05truly found

00:18:05herself a fine

00:18:06husband.

00:18:07For our daughter

00:18:07to marry such

00:18:08a fine gentleman,

00:18:09it must be the

00:18:10blessing she has

00:18:10earned over

00:18:11eight life times.

00:18:12Unlike someone

00:18:14who chose a beggar

00:18:15as her husband,

00:18:16our sterling family

00:18:17has raised you

00:18:18for so many years,

00:18:19and yet you come

00:18:20back empty-handed

00:18:21on your homecoming

00:18:22day.

00:18:23Indeed,

00:18:24sister.

00:18:25This is my

00:18:26homecoming gift.

00:18:27Have you fallen

00:18:28into such poverty

00:18:29that you cannot even

00:18:30afford a proper

00:18:31homecoming gift?

00:18:38father,

00:18:39mother,

00:18:40these are the two

00:18:41protective talamans

00:18:42I made for you

00:18:42by hand.

00:18:43A blessing to you

00:18:44both.

00:18:44Wishing you peace

00:18:45and prosperity.

00:18:46Get out!

00:18:51What a disgrace!

00:18:53Sister,

00:18:54is this truly

00:18:55what you've brought?

00:18:56A few scraps of cloth

00:18:57with embroidery.

00:18:59How dare you

00:18:59present these?

00:19:00Well,

00:19:01she did marry

00:19:01a beggar,

00:19:02so her gift

00:19:03befits her status

00:19:05perfectly.

00:19:07Oh,

00:19:07right.

00:19:08She has married

00:19:09a beggar.

00:19:10What else

00:19:10could we expect

00:19:11from her?

00:19:17Master,

00:19:18Madame,

00:19:19someone from the

00:19:19palace has arrived

00:19:20with gifts.

00:19:21They say they are

00:19:21the homecoming gifts

00:19:22from Lady Evelyn.

00:19:27Master,

00:19:27Shirley,

00:19:28who exactly

00:19:28asked your

00:19:29eldest daughter

00:19:30marry a mountain

00:19:30of the nobility?

00:19:31Even the palace

00:19:31saw fit to have

00:19:32me personally

00:19:33deliver these gifts

00:19:33to you.

00:19:34You must hold

00:19:34great influence

00:19:35indeed.

00:19:36Gifts from the palace?

00:19:37Then it must be

00:19:38from his majesty

00:19:38himself.

00:19:39It was personally

00:19:40arranged by the

00:19:40chief eunuch

00:19:41at his majesty's

00:19:42side.

00:19:42He said,

00:19:43for the Starling

00:19:44family's

00:19:45eldest daughter.

00:19:50Mr. Ashford,

00:19:52you must be

00:19:52mistaken.

00:19:54All of Highgate

00:19:55knows that

00:19:56Evelyn married

00:19:57a beggar.

00:19:58How could she

00:19:59possibly have

00:20:00baptized anyone

00:20:01in the palace?

00:20:02Oh,

00:20:03this must surely

00:20:04be a courtesy

00:20:05to young

00:20:07Master Montague.

00:20:10Indeed.

00:20:11In this world,

00:20:12those seeking

00:20:13favor with the

00:20:14Montague family

00:20:14are countless.

00:20:15Even those in the

00:20:16palace are paying

00:20:17their respects.

00:20:18Father-in-law,

00:20:19please accept

00:20:19with joy.

00:20:22Josephine

00:20:22has married

00:20:23a remarkable

00:20:24husband.

00:20:25Just look at

00:20:25the grandeur

00:20:26of her homecoming.

00:20:27such lavish gifts.

00:20:29Our Sterling family

00:20:30is truly honored

00:20:30beyond measure.

00:20:33The gifts

00:20:34have been delivered.

00:20:35I shall take

00:20:36my leave.

00:20:37Oh,

00:20:37take care.

00:20:38Take care.

00:20:41Sister,

00:20:42my husband

00:20:43has prepared

00:20:43two sets

00:20:44of homecoming

00:20:44gifts.

00:20:45Seeing all these,

00:20:46do you not

00:20:47feel ashamed?

00:20:48It's not about

00:20:49the quality of gifts,

00:20:50but the sincerity

00:20:50behind them.

00:20:51I see nothing

00:20:52inappropriate in this.

00:20:53I've poured my

00:20:54heart and effort

00:20:55into raising you,

00:20:56and yet,

00:20:56not only did you

00:20:57marry a beggar,

00:20:58but you even

00:20:58bring back these

00:20:59worthless rags

00:21:00to disgrace me.

00:21:01The Sterling family

00:21:01has no place

00:21:02for such a

00:21:03disgraceful daughter.

00:21:05Simply because

00:21:05I married Lucas,

00:21:07you feel justified

00:21:08to humiliate me

00:21:09like this.

00:21:09Josephine acts

00:21:10in the best interest

00:21:11of the Sterling family,

00:21:12unlike you,

00:21:13who married a beggar,

00:21:14bringing disgrace

00:21:15upon us all.

00:21:17Disgrace?

00:21:19It's only because

00:21:20Josephine married

00:21:21into wealth

00:21:21that you so

00:21:23readily indulge her.

00:21:24Insolent child!

00:21:25Such outrageous

00:21:26defiance!

00:21:26Who has put

00:21:27these ideas

00:21:28in your head?

00:21:28Is it not the truth?

00:21:31In your eyes,

00:21:33a daughter is

00:21:34nothing more

00:21:34than a pawn

00:21:35to secure power

00:21:36and favor?

00:21:37Outrageous!

00:21:38How dare you

00:21:39speak to your father

00:21:41in such a manner?

00:21:45A dragon

00:21:46jade pendant?

00:21:49Outrageous!

00:21:50I 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

00:22:01did you steal it,

00:22:02sister?

00:22:04It is from Lucas.

00:22:05Give it back!

00:22:08That wretched beggar?

00:22:09He will never

00:22:10possess such

00:22:11a fine pendant.

00:22:12He must have

00:22:13stolen it

00:22:14from somewhere.

00:22:15Would right have you

00:22:15to make such

00:22:16rash accusations.

00:22:17Lucas may not be

00:22:18of noble birth

00:22:18like you.

00:22:19But you believe

00:22:20that possessing

00:22:20a jade pendant

00:22:21is a rightful due.

00:22:22Yet Lucas

00:22:22is not worthy

00:22:23of 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 won the pendant?

00:22:29Very well.

00:22:30But you must

00:22:31sever all ties

00:22:32with the sterlings!

00:22:33and you must

00:22:46and you must

00:22:47and you must

00:22:47be your daughter.

00:22:47You must

00:22:48bring 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

00:23:05to be with the one

00:23:06who is true of heart.

00:23:07Even if I must

00:23:08live on plain fair,

00:23:09it is better

00:23:10than enduring

00:23:10cold disdain

00:23:12in the sterlings.

00:23:13Since that is the case...

00:23:14Hi, Evelyn Sterling.

00:23:25Severe all ties

00:23:27with the sterling family.

00:23:29We are here

00:23:30and forth, strangers.

00:23:40All for the sake

00:23:41of a worthless beggar.

00:23:43You would sever ties

00:23:44with 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!

00:24:07Scattering them

00:24:07across the floor!

00:24:09What are you trying

00:24:10to do?

00:24:10Your Majesty,

00:24:13something terrible

00:24:14has 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 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.

00:24:45How could anyone

00:24:46survive walking 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 trampled.

00:25:10I will walk.

00:25:11For the sake of a filthy beggar,

00:25:33you would go to such lengths?

00:25:35You must have lost your mind!

00:25:36For a mere jade pendant,

00:25:39a lady born into privilege

00:25:41would willingly walk

00:25:42across burning charcoal.

00:25:43No wonder she was foolish enough

00:25:45to marry a mere beggar.

00:25:46After all,

00:25:47what does a beggar have

00:25:48to his name

00:25:48but worthless trinkets?

00:25:50This jade pendant

00:25:51is likely

00:25:52his most treasured possession.

00:25:54No wonder

00:25:55your sister cherishes it so.

00:25:58The jade pendant

00:25:59was left to me

00:26:00by my father.

00:26:01I've carried it with me

00:26:02all these years.

00:26:03And 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

00:26:20the 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.

00:27:12All 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

00:27:53told 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

00:28:04truly believe

00:28:05you're getting your way?

00:28:07I want you

00:28:08to spend

00:28:09the rest of your days

00:28:10wallowing in the gutter,

00:28:12watching as I rise

00:28:13to become

00:28:13the most esteemed

00:28:14women 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!

00:28:38I'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

00:29:02from a beggar?

00:29:02I heard that

00:29:03filthy beggar's

00:29:03brother once

00:29:04served in the palace.

00:29:05Is it natural

00:29:06for him

00:29:06to procure

00:29:07some robes?

00:29:07That wretch beggar

00:29:08has suffered

00:29:09humiliation

00:29:10last time

00:29:10and now

00:29:11he has come

00:29:11to regain

00:29:12his dignity?

00:29:13What a joke!

00:29:14A mere beggar

00:29:15daring to put

00:29:16on an act

00:29:16in the Sterling Estate?

00:29:17Look at the

00:29:18fine husband

00:29:18you've chosen.

00:29:19Useless is one thing,

00:29:20but to be

00:29:21so 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!

00:29:32You!

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?

00:29:48Lucas.

00:29:49Yes,

00:29:57it 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

00:30:04what she was thinking.

00:30:06Such a fool.

00:30:06Silence!

00:30:07And who do you think

00:30:08you are

00:30:09to dare raise

00:30:10your voice

00:30:10before me?

00:30:11Yes,

00:30:12I'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

00:30:25keep up this charade.

00:30:26Guards,

00:30:27seize 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!

00:30:42How dare you!

00:30:51with ten tails of gold.

00:31:02Montague family!

00:31:06shall only have

00:31:07one face,

00:31:08death!

00:31:12You filthy beggar!

00:31:13You're taking

00:31:13this act too far!

00:31:14Before I lose my temper,

00:31:15release me at once!

00:31:16I 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

00:31:23the burning charcoal!

00:31:27No!

00:31:29No!

00:31:30No!

00:31:30What are you doing?

00:31:31No!

00:31:32Stop!

00:31:32Once the judicial court

00:31:33arrives,

00:31:34you are doomed!

00:31:37All 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

00:31:55Stoney family down

00:31:56with you!

00:31:57No!

00:31:58Stop!

00:31:59Brother!

00:32:00Brother, save me!

00:32:01Who is

00:32:12harming my 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?

00:32:29Your 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.

00:32:59I'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 act

00:33:14so brazenly?

00:33:15Guards,

00:33:16take them to the dungeon

00:33:17of the Judicial Court.

00:33:18Interrogate them

00:33:18with torture.

00:33:19Wait!

00:33:21What else

00:33:21do you have to say?

00:33:23Since when

00:33:24was this position

00:33:25of Lord Justice Deputy?

00:33:26Yours to assume.

00:33:27You filthy beggar,

00:33:28how could you

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

00:33:49married the eldest daughter

00:33:50of the Sterling family.

00:33:51Because that woman

00:33:52and His Majesty

00:33:52even lashed out?

00:33:53His Majesty

00:33:54married another woman

00:33:55outside the palace?

00:33:57Guards!

00:33:57The brothers are done!

00:34:01Insolent!

00:34:02How dare you offend

00:34:03the Emperor Dowager?

00:34:04Are you trying

00:34:04to 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.

00:34:13That's right,

00:34:14my lord.

00:34:14Our Sterling family

00:34:15has always followed

00:34:16the 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

00:34:21royalty is the

00:34:22capital crime.

00:34:23You must not

00:34:23let 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

00:34:29comes today,

00:34:30they cannot save you.

00:34:32I can't.

00:34:33I can't.

00:34:33Lucas break up

00:34:34behind Sparrows,

00:34:35my lord.

00:34:36He didn't mean

00:34:36to offend.

00:34:39Evelyn!

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

00:34:49to block us again,

00:34:50kill 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!

00:35:11Josephine Sterling,

00:35:13why is your heart

00:35:13so vicious?

00:35:15Lucas has no

00:35:15grievance with you,

00:35:16yet you harms him

00:35:17so cruelly.

00:35:17this filthy beggar

00:35:18actually tried

00:35:19to have some

00:35:20disfigure me?

00:35:21Of course

00:35:21I 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!

00:35:34Well, you still can't

00:35:34hurry and go!

00:35:35I can't!

00:35:36Go?

00:35:37You still think

00:35:38he can go?

00:35:40Josephine Sterling,

00:35:41why won't you just

00:35:43let me go?

00:35:46I have to admit,

00:35:48sister,

00:35:49you're truly fortunate

00:35:50I've been marrying

00:35:50a beggar

00:35:51you still found

00:35:51true love.

00:35:53What a pity!

00:35:54The more you're like this,

00:35:55the more impossible

00:35:56it is for me

00:35:56to let you have

00:35:57your way!

00:35:58You-

00:35:58Josephine,

00:36:00the grudge

00:36:00between us

00:36:01should not

00:36:02involve others!

00:36:03You can do

00:36:03whatever you want

00:36:04to me!

00:36:05I beg you,

00:36:06let Lucas go,

00:36:08please!

00:36:08Avalyn,

00:36:09you don't need

00:36:10to waste your breath

00:36:10on her!

00:36:11I can't drag you

00:36:11into this!

00:36:12How touching!

00:36:14Even at a time

00:36:15like this!

00:36:16You still have time

00:36:17to flirt with

00:36:18this filthy beggar?

00:36:19Since you're

00:36:20feeling wrong

00:36:20so deep,

00:36:22I might as well

00:36:22send you both

00:36:23to death

00:36:24together!

00:36:25What are you

00:36:26waiting for?

00:36:28Die!

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

00:36:46is the Emperor?

00:36:47Avalyn!

00:36:48Imperial physician!

00:36:49Call the Imperial

00:36:50physician quickly!

00:36:51Your 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!

00:37:24Adam and Montague,

00:37:26as an official

00:37:27of 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 along

00:37:33the Montague

00:37:33in the judicial court.

00:37:34Spare me,

00:37:35Your Majesty!

00:37:35Spare me!

00:37:36Please spare me,

00:37:37Your Majesty!

00:37:38Thank Your Majesty

00:37:39to revoke the order!

00:37:41It was my fault!

00:37:44I failed to see

00:37:45the 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?

00:37:51Impossible!

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 Sterling 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,

00:38:12Empress 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 later.

00:38:20The Sterling 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.

00:38:31Lucas,

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

00:39:32pass my test.

00:39:34But,

00:39:35but,

00:39:37before 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

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

00:40:02each.

00:40:03Adrian Montague

00:40:04frequented

00:40:04pleasure 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

00:40:09in 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 labor

00:40:13and 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.

00:40:25I 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.

00:40:35That'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.

00:40:50Avalyn,

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.

00:41:10Guests 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 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,

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.

00:41:47Lucas,

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.

00:42:02Miss Evelyn,

00:42:09please come with me.

00:42:12Go ahead.

00:42:13Go ahead.

00:42:27You!

00:42:27Clean all of these thoroughly.

00:42:29You and I both work

00:42:31at the Imperial Household Bureau.

00:42:33The tasks are assigned

00:42:33in 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 must have

00:42:41used certain means

00:42:42to land a post here

00:42:43and somehow even

00:42:43earned Ma'am Langston's

00:42:45favor.

00:42:45She got all the

00:42:46Yeezy's work

00:42:46assigned to you.

00:42:53Hey!

00:42:54Hey!

00:42:55Hey!

00:42:59Hey!

00:43:03Give 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 and

00:43:11inform

00:43:11Madam Langston.

00:43:12Someone is stealing!

00:43:14Your majesty!

00:43:15Give it back to me!

00:43:16Right now!

00:43:17Hey!

00:43:21Ah!

00:43:24Ah!

00:43:25Ah!

00:43:26What are you waiting for? Grab her!

00:43:33Everyone, stop right there!

00:43:41Your Grace, the Imperial Household Bureau is such a crude place.

00:43:46You have never come here before. It might harm your noble health.

00:43:49Allow me to announce your arrival.

00:43:51No need. This time, I am disguised as a Bureau Matron,

00:43:54because I want to truly know Evelyn Sterling.

00:43:57She must never learn of my identity.

00:44:08Palace rules are strict. I was only gone for a little while.

00:44:12And you dare behave so wildly. What do you take the Imperial Household Bureau for?

00:44:16Ma'am, she stole His Majesty's Jade Pendant.

00:44:20The one thing most forbidden in the harm is thee.

00:44:23She feared being exposed and even tried to harm me.

00:44:26Ma'am, you must punish her properly.

00:44:29Ma'am Linsden, please let me explain. This isn't what happened.

00:44:33Enough.

00:44:34Hand over the Jade Pendant.

00:44:38The pendant belongs to me.

00:44:43I said, hand over the Jade Pendant.

00:44:46The dragon Jade Pendant.

00:45:01It truly belongs to His Majesty.

00:45:04The dragon Jade Pendant.

00:45:06It truly belongs to His Majesty.

00:45:08The Emperor even gave her something this important?

00:45:10She even dares to steal His Majesty's Pendant.

00:45:14In the future, who knows what outrageous things she might do.

00:45:17Palace rules are very clear.

00:45:19Anyone caught stealing goods worth more than one dollar will have their left foot cut off and be branded.

00:45:24Ma'am, please listen to my explanation.

00:45:26This pendant was given to me by someone very dear to me.

00:45:30It was definitely not stolen.

00:45:32I truly don't know how it could belong to His Majesty.

00:45:34We confirm the pendant belongs to my son.

00:45:36Wouldn't that expose us to your identity?

00:45:39No.

00:45:40We can't rely on the object to prove there was theft involved.

00:45:43I'll thoroughly investigate this matter until the truth is found.

00:45:47The pendant will remain with me.

00:45:48If you are truly innocent, I will make things right for you.

00:45:52Thank you, Ma'am.

00:45:53This is the new steward, Madam Williams.

00:45:56From now on, she will work with me to manage the Bureau.

00:45:59All of you, behave yourselves.

00:46:01Anyone who tries to be sneaky or lazy will be punished according to Palace rules.

00:46:06Yes, Ma'am.

00:46:11Your bullying of your colleague has not been settled yet.

00:46:14You are to clean toilet bowl as punishment.

00:46:16You may eat only when you finish.

00:46:21Yes, Ma'am.

00:46:23Oh, isn't this much better?

00:46:41Your Majesty, Miss Caldwell has come to the palace again today.

00:46:54Do you wish to see her?

00:46:55No.

00:46:55Tell her to go back where she came from.

00:46:58This.

00:46:59You.

00:47:00Go back.

00:47:01I'm going to see Evelyn.

00:47:02If you follow me, you'll expose my identity.

00:47:05Out of the way.

00:47:05Evelyn.

00:47:10Evelyn.

00:47:14Lucas.

00:47:16Why are you here?

00:47:19How can Madam Langston let 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.

00:47:28It's just cleaning a toilet bowl is not a big deal.

00:47:32Evelyn.

00:47:32I'm sorry you had to endure this.

00:47:46I promise I'll find a way to get you out of here as soon as possible.

00:47:50By 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?

00:47:58Uh, my father.

00:48:01My 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.

00:48:09Oh, I see.

00:48:10All they say is his majesty, his majesty.

00:48:12I thought maybe you were lying to me.

00:48:18Who's there?

00:48:23It's Madam Willems.

00:48:24Hurry up and go.

00:48:24Come let her see you.

00:48:25Tomorrow.

00:48:26I'll come to see you tomorrow again.

00:48:27Madam Willems.

00:48:36All the toilet bowls have been cleaned.

00:48:38Cleaned already?

00:48:40Then go sweep the entire back courtyard.

00:48:46Yes, ma'am.

00:48:48Finally done with everything.

00:48:57Why are you throwing my things?

00:49:03Madam Willems gave orders herself.

00:49:05She said at first light tomorrow, you are to deliver her medicine.

00:49:08Ma'am said the medicine must be boiled with morning dew.

00:49:11Tonight, you should wait outside.

00:49:13Morning dew.

00:49:16Morning dew.

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 not 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?

00:49:33Are you saying his majesty gave it to you himself?

00:49:41Huh.

00:49:45The night air is damned with dew.

00:49:47I'm going inside to 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 as yours or mine.

00:49:54Don't think that just because Madam Lens, you can do whatever you want.

00:49:56Who said you could come in?

00:50:00Move aside.

00:50:08Avalyn.

00:50:11Avalyn.

00:50:12Are you all right?

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?

00:50:23Your majesty.

00:50:26You're the emperor.

00:50:32You're his majesty.

00:50:35Insolent servant.

00:50:39You must never let her discover your true identity.

00:50:52My 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 hasn't Master Langley been by his majesty's side?

00:51:05Master Langley.

00:51:07What is going on here?

00:51:09Oh.

00:51:10This young guy in here, he bests a striking resemblance to his majesty.

00:51:14I specifically brought him to the palace to interrogate him.

00:51:16Uh-uh.

00:51:18I, you, the new one.

00:51:20I'm going to 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.

00:51:34As for you.

00:51:48Fraternizing 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,

00:51:54that incident was also swept under the rug.

00:51:56Tell me, if his majesty knew she had stolen his jade pendant,

00:52:01how 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.

00:52:18Let us see if he will still let you off so easily.

00:52:20Ah!

00:52:22Ah, my face!

00:52:24Ah, my face!

00:52:25Ah, my face!

00:52:27Ah!

00:52:28You foolish servant!

00:52:30What have you put in this bowl?

00:52:32I obtained a recipe from a tallist who claimed they could

00:52:35enhance one's beauty when consumed.

00:52:40I only wished to do what was best for Madam Williams,

00:52:43which is why I acted so foolishly.

00:52:44How dare you serve something of unknown origin to ma'am

00:52:47if 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!

00:53:00Please!

00:53:00Madam!

00:53:01Madam!

00:53:02Madam, have mercy!

00:53:04Madam!

00:53:05Madam!

00:53:06May I be permitted to try?

00:53:11You?

00:53:14You?

00:53:14I've studied medical texts, and I can prepare herbal remedy

00:53:18that might alleviate the rash on your face.

00:53:24If...

00:53:24If my methods prove effective, I beg you, Madam, to spare Isabella's life.

00:53:32His majesty has not paid me attention for a long time,

00:53:46yet I hear he has recently been visiting Imperial Household Bureau.

00:53:50Tell me who could be in the Imperial Household Bureau

00:53:52to capture his majesty's interest so deeply.

00:53:55I don't know!

00:53:56I know nothing!

00:53:57Speak!

00:53:58I 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,

00:54:32and the rash will completely disappear.

00:54:34Okay.

00:54:34What are you trying to do now?

00:54:55If it weren't for you today,

00:55:03I might have already been taken away.

00:55:06As for what happened before, I owe you an apology.

00:55:09I'll accept any punishment or scolding you see fit.

00:55:19Why would I scold you?

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.

00:55:42Your majesty.

00:55:43Your majesty.

00:55:48I believe that his majesty's insistence on making Lady Evelyn the Empress

00:55:52does not seem like a mere impulse.

00:55:55Lady Evelyn truly possesses remarkable qualities.

00:56:00Let's eat a chestnut cake.

00:56:02It 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 wondering.

00:56:24But when did your lowly servants dare to entertain such wicked thoughts?

00:56:28When did Evelyn ever seduce his majesty?

00:56:30Isabella, have you forgotten how much we suffered because of her?

00:56:33Evelyn never once provoked me intentionally.

00:56:35It was you who kept picking fights deliberately.

00:56:39Isabella!

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.

00:56:58What 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 him.

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'm 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 student?

00:58:11If I didn't teach you a lesson, you'll never learn your place.

00:58:14Restrainer as well.

00:58:16Eleanor, you wouldn't dare.

00:58:18I never expected you to be so venomous at heart.

00:58:26Her majesty truly misjudged you.

00:58:29You didn't call yourself her majesty?

00:58:31Who are you taking yourself for?

00:58:32The Empress Dowager?

00:58:38A disfigured old wretch like you.

00:58:40Derecee used the title of the Empress Dowager.

00:58:42It seems you've grown tired of living.

00:58:43It seems you still refuse to admit your wrongdoing.

00:58:46What wrong have I done?

00:58:48You born into lowly status can only be servants 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 Household Bureau,

00:59:05you have allowed your maid to seduce His Majesty.

00:59:07Such behaviors as a dangerous example, this is unforgivable.

00:59:11Fetch my way!

00:59:11The 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.

00:59:24Your 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 Her 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 Catwell, but 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!

01:00:35Do you know who you are about to whip?

01:00:38Your wish is...

01:00:39I greet the Empress Dowager.

01:00:44I greet the Empress Dowager.

01:00:45I 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?

01:01:00Her 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?

01:01:08Your Majesty, this humble subject admits her fault.

01:01:12I failed to recognize that you were the Empress Dowager.

01:01:15I beg your Majesty for forgiveness.

01:01:17I beg the Emperor for mercy.

01:01:19The Emperor?

01:01:20The Emperor?

01:01:20This humble official believes this matters are of great importance.

01:01:26It 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!

01:01:43This humble 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 clear to 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!

01:02:18Your Majesty!

01:02:18I thank you, 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 are 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 humble subject 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.

01:02:48Where is Her Majesty taking them?

01:03:03Evelyn!

01:03:05Lucas, did the Empress daughter punish you?

01:03:07Of course not.

01:03:08Her Majesty wished to discuss the Spring Blossom Banquet with me.

01:03:12That's a relief.

01:03:14Evelyn.

01:03:17Evelyn's 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 Spring Blossom Banquet next month.

01:03:29They may not have enough resources to manage both.

01:03:32Moreover, this matter is too sudden.

01:03:35I'm concerned the other Ministers may object.

01:03:38Mother, why not let Evelyn organize the Spring Blossom Banquet?

01:03:41If she can manage this banquet, it will not only prove her capability,

01:03:44but also make her coronation more acceptable to everyone.

01:03:47Her Majesty wants you to take charge of the Spring Blossom Banquet.

01:03:51Me?

01:03:53I don't know how to organize it.

01:03:57Don't worry.

01:03:59Trust your abilities.

01:04:00You shall triumph.

01:04:01I'll also assist you behind the scenes.

01:04:02All right.

01:04:14Get moving, all of you.

01:04:16If anyone dares to slack off, my whip shows no mercy.

01:04:20Useless fool.

01:04:27Do you still think you're a pampered young lady?

01:04:29Huh?

01:04:30Once you're in the office of discipline, no one gets to laze around.

01:04:37Evelyn Sterling, this is all your fault!

01:04:43Get it!

01:04:43Don't touch me!

01:04:45I'm the daughter of Chancellor Caldwell!

01:04:47But I better show some respect!

01:04:54The daughter of Chancellor Caldwell?

01:04:57In my past life, Adrian Montauk was promoted by the Empress Elwiger during the Spring Blossom Banquet.

01:05:01If I can escape this wretched place,

01:05:04and find a way to bring Adrian to the Spring Blossom Banquet,

01:05:07I can surely turn things around.

01:05:13What a wretched place!

01:05:16They expect me, a lady, to wash my clothes myself?

01:05:21Where did this lowly maid come from?

01:05:23I...

01:05:24Lady, I have an urgent request.

01:05:29When?

01:05:29Why should I help you?

01:05:31I am a noble bird.

01:05:33Were it not for this temporary misfortune,

01:05:36you 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?

01:06:21The fire has engulfed the entire rear courtyard.

01:06:23Nearly half the people couldn't make it out.

01:06:26Anna Caldwell.

01:06:33Your 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?

01:07:03A marriage ally?

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 sworn high already.

01:08:24Turns out you'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.

01:08:37Let me out, please.

01:08:48This 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.

01:09:04It's all Josephine's fault.

01:09:08Husband!

01:09:10Why are you back?

01:09:13The 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,

01:09:22it'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.

01:09:33How to get back at her, huh?

01:09:35I saw her once at the Office of Discipline.

01:09:39She was wearing a lonely palace-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?

01:09:55Spring Blossom Banquet is coming.

01:09:58All the novels will be present then.

01:10:01It's the perfect opportunity.

01:10:03Spring Blossom Banquet.

01:10:05We're invited too.

01:10:07So I can go then?

01:10:11What are you scheming this time?

01:10:15Don't worry.

01:10:17At the banquet,

01:10:18I'll impress everyone.

01:10:20As long as I win the Empress Dowager's favor,

01:10:22our family will rise again.

01:10:27It's going to be all nobles and high officials.

01:10:48Check everything thoroughly.

01:10:50We cannot afford to any mistakes.

01:10:54Oh, stop worrying.

01:10:55We've confirmed every detail multiple times already.

01:10:58There won't be any problems.

01:11:00Let's hope so.

01:11:03Avalyn.

01:11:13Avalyn,

01:11:14if you like these pastries,

01:11:15I can get you more.

01:11:21Glad this is a remote area

01:11:23with no patrols.

01:11:25Otherwise,

01:11:25I can't meet like this.

01:11:35Avalyn.

01:11:38Once the banquet ends,

01:11:40wait for me here.

01:11:41I got something to tell you.

01:11:43All right.

01:11:44I'll wait for you here.

01:11:45I'll wait for you here.

01:11:46I'll wait for you here.

01:11:48I'll wait for you here.

01:11:53Husband,

01:11:53look over there.

01:11:59Evelyn,

01:11:59and a palace guard.

01:12:05Oh, right.

01:12:06You're on duty today.

01:12:08Let's hurry back.

01:12:09Remember, wait for me here.

01:12:13Okay, take these.

01:12:19Hey, you really can't go a moment without a man.

01:12:23Just got tossed aside by his majesty and now you're ready with the guard.

01:12:28This is the Imperial Palace, not your place, all right?

01:12:41Everything you do here is washed by his majesty in the Empress Gouger.

01:12:45They 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.

01:12:54If you serve us well, I may reward you.

01:12:59If 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.

01:13:24Greetings, 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.

01:13:39Thanks 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.

01:14:00If they're this bold in broad daylight, who knows what they do in secret?

01:14:05Your Highness, I did have a contact with a 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.

01:14:17If 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.

01:14:33Since neither of you are innocent,

01:14:35Your Highness, please summon the guard and execute them.

01:14:40Yes, Your Highness, punish 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 has 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.

01:15:28She escaped again.

01:15:29Why 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...

01:15:42Your Majesty, the banquet is that way.

01:15:51Where are you going?

01:15:51It's about to begin.

01:15:53You'll be late.

01:15:54I've thought it over.

01:15:55I should let her know the truth before the banquet.

01:15:58Go tell Evelyn.

01:15:59To meet me will reward before.

01:16:04Eunuch Langley.

01:16:06Come here.

01:16:06What's going on?

01:16:16You've done a great job this time.

01:16:18They're talking about how good the banquet is.

01:16:20Even an Empress dowager looks pleased.

01:16:22That's great.

01:16:24Someone is waiting for you in that courtyard.

01:16:26Go.

01:16:27How is it?

01:16:31Assassins!

01:16:31Protect the Empress dowager!

01:16:33What's going on inside?

01:16:37An assassin disguised in sedan, sir.

01:16:39Lord Montague took the blow for Her Majesty,

01:16:41and the assassin escaped.

01:16:42What?

01:16:44Take her away.

01:16:46What are you doing?

01:16:47There is an assassin.

01:16:49We are arresting Evelyn to the judicial court.

01:16:50What?

01:16:51Me?

01:16:59My lord, he's the suspect.

01:17:01Maid Evelyn Sterling.

01:17:02He'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?

01:17:12How 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,

01:17:26you were secretly meeting with the guard.

01:17:28You were so affectionate

01:17:29that you just ignored everything around you.

01:17:31What?

01:17:33Is this true?

01:17:34Chancellor,

01:17:35I can testify.

01:17:36That very guard is still at the Ministry of Rights.

01:17:38Someone.

01:17:39Bring that guard here.

01:17:40I will get to the bottom of this.

01:17:44Why hasn't Evelyn come yet?

01:17:46Sir, here's the guard.

01:18:04Are you alright, Lucas?

01:18:08Evelyn Sterling, how do you plead?

01:18:10Please investigate Sterling.

01:18:12Since you're an assassin,

01:18:13it's my fault indeed.

01:18:14I only beg you not to implicate anyone else.

01:18:16The palace is heavily guarded.

01:18:18An outsider could never get in.

01:18:20Evelyn must have secretly colluded with the assassin,

01:18:22if not from a 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 over water.

01:18:55Chancellor, I beg you.

01:18:57Chancellor.

01:18:57Chancellor, don't.

01:18:59Chancellor, please.

01:19:01Chancellor.

01:19:03Lucas, I'm sorry.

01:19:04It's not my fault.

01:19:06I'm so sorry.

01:19:25Stop now.

01:19:26Don't you dare touch her.

01:19:29Your Majesty.

01:19:32Long live your Majesty.

01:19:33Long live your Majesty.

01:19:41How dare you condemning the innocent

01:19:44without discerning right from wrong.

01:19:47This is totally outrageous.

01:19:56You'd keep going against Evelyn every turn.

01:19:58Today, if I weren't here,

01:20:00you would have gotten your way.

01:20:01Your Majesty, I didn't mean to hurt my sister.

01:20:05Your Majesty, Evelyn was in charge of the banquet,

01:20:07but she allowed assassins in to hurt the Empress Starwager.

01:20:10I beg you.

01:20:11Your Majesty issued an order at once

01:20:13to imprison her for further interrogation.

01:20:15Chancellor, go was right.

01:20:16If it weren't for my husband's presence today,

01:20:18the Empress Starwager might not have survived.

01:20:20Your Majesty, my life is of no consequence,

01:20:22but Evelyn must be punished.

01:20:23Your Majesty, my life is of no consequence,

01:20:29but Evelyn must be punished.

01:20:31If this happens again,

01:20:33who will protect the palace?

01:20:37Please.

01:20:38You must punish Evelyn.

01:20:40Adrian Montague,

01:20:41Are you making decisions for me?

01:20:43The Empress Starwager has been traumatized today.

01:20:45If Your Majesty is not to punish Evelyn,

01:20:47what 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.

01:20:55I beg Your Majesty to punish Evelyn.

01:20:57Is that so?

01:21:03If I have evidence that Evelyn's innocent,

01:21:06what should you be punished for?

01:21:13Possible.

01:21:15Nicholas,

01:21:16I'm asking you!

01:21:19They're fine.

01:21:20What's wrong about her?

01:21:22I'm willing to receive the same punishment.

01:21:24Okay.

01:21:26Come on.

01:21:27Read them to me.

01:21:30Your Majesty is wise.

01:21:32Following your orders,

01:21:34I've already arranged for guards

01:21:36to capture the assassin.

01:21:38Your Majesty,

01:21:39spare me!

01:21:40The assassination was all Josephine and Andrea's idea.

01:21:43I was truly forced into it.

01:21:44Your Majesty,

01:21:44spare me!

01:21:45Your Majesty,

01:21:46please spare me!

01:21:46It's over.

01:21:47It's all over.

01:21:48Guards,

01:21:49take Nicholas away!

01:21:51Your Majesty,

01:21:52I've been serving the royals

01:21:54for decades!

01:21:56I'm absolutely loyal!

01:21:58Your Majesty,

01:21:58please don't do this to me!

01:22:00Your Majesty!

01:22:02Her Majesty!

01:22:07As for you two...

01:22:09Your Majesty,

01:22:09Your Majesty!

01:22:10This has nothing to do with me!

01:22:11It was all her!

01:22:12She ordered me to do it!

01:22:13You're lying!

01:22:14Your Majesty,

01:22:15I was only jealous of my sister!

01:22:16The assassination was always Grant's idea!

01:22:19And,

01:22:19and taking the flu

01:22:20was all part of this act!

01:22:21Your Majesty!

01:22:22Dammit!

01:22:23How dare you betray me!

01:22:25Enough!

01:22:26Adrian Montague,

01:22:28Josephine Sterling,

01:22:29as masterminds,

01:22:31will be executed right now!

01:22:35Lock Catherine in the Judicial Court!

01:22:37Wait for further orders!

01:22:38Your Majesty!

01:22:40Your Majesty!

01:22:40Please give me a chance,

01:22:42Your Majesty!

01:22:43Your Majesty!

01:22:44But instead,

01:22:44I hate you!

01:22:45If that were you,

01:22:47all of this would have been mine!

01:22:48No, no.

01:22:50It's all because of yourself,

01:22:51not me.

01:22:54You brought all of this upon yourself.

01:22:56Evelyn.

01:23:07Hi.

01:23:10So,

01:23:11Your Majesty,

01:23:12what is your real name?

01:23:17Lucian Prescott.

01:23:19Lucian Prescott.

01:23:22Now the criminals have been taken away,

01:23:24Your Majesty and Your Highness.

01:23:26You can finally be together.

01:23:31My Highness.

01:23:34From today onward,

01:23:35I will make you Empress.

01:23:42Starting today,

01:23:43the concubines will be dismissed.

01:23:45The harem only has one leader.

01:23:50And that will be my Empress.

01:23:53British!

01:23:54Long live Your Highness!

01:23:56Long live Your Highness!
