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

00:00:05bestow the title of first-ranked Lady of Honor by Imperial Decree.

00:00:10We humbly thank His Majesty for His grace.

00:00:21Murder!

00:00:22Murder!

00:00:23Duh!

00:00:24Someone's been killed!

00:00:26Murder!

00:00:27Murder!

00:00:28No!

00:00:41Sister…

00:00:43What?

00:00:43Don't call me sister!

00:00:45You are unworthy!

00:00:46We are both daughters of the Sterling family!

00:00:48Why should you live better than me?!

00:00:50If only Adrian Montag caught my bridal bowl...

00:00:52...three years ago...

00:00:56A stone being covered is nothing but an illusion. If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.

00:01:26Master, I have already spread the word. The noblemen from all around have heard that our daughters of the Sterling family are seeking husbands and are eager to compete for them.

00:01:39For a son-in-law of our family, at the very least, he must be a man of great status. You two better aim at the right man. Whichever of you marries well shall bring glory to our family.

00:01:49Have I been reborn two, three years ago? The very day of the husband seeking bridal bond.

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

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

00:02:05In my past life, Josephine insists that I go first. Feigning modesty and humility. Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.

00:02:19Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me! Lady Josephine, come on!

00:02:26In this life, I have to marry Adrian!

00:02:38It's him, Adrian, second son of the Montagues.

00:02:40The Montague family are relatives of the royal family, which means we shall become royal kin as well!

00:02:46I actually altered my fate. Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank and I shall become a noble lady of honor!

00:02:55Josephine, you have schemed relentlessly. But little do you know that you're gonna suffer a lot in the evil Montague family.

00:03:04Great, great, great! The whole family is counting on you!

00:03:10Oh, stop flattering me! I'm doing this just for our family.

00:03:13Once I become Lady Montague, I shall be mindful of my words and actions bringing prosperity to our family.

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

00:03:23You are truly fortunate. As your sister, I am happy for you.

00:03:28Evelyn, Lady Luck is with me this time. In this life, I will never let you overshadow me again.

00:03:36That is...

00:03:42Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

00:03:46Master, if the Empress tower you find, you're dressed like this.

00:03:50Mother's been always pressing me. I can only leave the palace for some peace.

00:03:55This is a perfect chance to experience the life of ordinary folk.

00:03:59Let's have a look.

00:04:03In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal bull. I had to run away and then suffer a lot.

00:04:09This time, I shall let you taste the pain of being abandoned by your own kin.

00:04:15Master, our family has now secured ties with the Montagues.

00:04:20Evelyn, now it's your turn. And you better aim as close as Josephine.

00:04:24Mother, how could you say such a thing?

00:04:27Sister has always been lucky and she would never bring shame upon us.

00:04:31In my opinion, in the moment, she will surely get the finest husband.

00:04:40Powerful or not, rich or not, it's only written on water.

00:04:45In this life, I seek only a true companion to live a peaceful life till the end.

00:04:50It's him. It's him. The beggar that Josephine ran away from.

00:05:09Oh no, it actually went to a beggar.

00:05:15Sister, what terrible luck you have. A beggar out of so many people down there. How do you expect father to hold his head high?

00:05:23Damn it! With so many people down there, how could you cast it to a beggar? Are you deliberately trying to shame me?

00:05:30What's done is done, sister. Do not be too upset.

00:05:33Though he is of lowly birth, but look, at least he got a pretty face.

00:05:38It is only a pity for you, sister, raising comfort and luxury. But now bound to a beggar, you shall have to labor yourself to earn your bread.

00:05:47Now this will be quite the spectacle. The esteemed Lady Evelyn will marry a beggar? Everyone is watching. If she refuses, it's going to ruin their credit. Who would associate with them more?

00:05:57Hey! Hey! Seize her! Don't let her escape!

00:06:04Master, how did this bridal bull end up in your hands? What should we do now? It's the Scottish.

00:06:10I'm dressed in such rags. She won't agree.

00:06:14Sister, why are you running? You cast the bridal bull yourself.

00:06:20You damn girl! Look at the filthy beggar you've got! If he becomes my son-in-law, it's gonna be a huge disgrace to us!

00:06:32In my past life, I was mistreated by the Montagues and used for Sterling's ambitions. Thinking back now, perhaps marrying a beggar would be better fate.

00:06:42The rule of the bridal bull is binding. Since he caught the bull, you should...

00:06:47I am willing to marry him.

00:06:55What?

00:06:59My name is Evelyn Sterling. What's yours?

00:07:02I am Lu... Lucas Prescott.

00:07:10With all present as my witnesses today, I, Evelyn Sterling.

00:07:15Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband?

00:07:24Are you serious?

00:07:27Yeah. The ball is in your hands. You wanna... reject me?

00:07:33I didn't. It's just that I'm poor as hell. Marrying me would mean a life of uncertainty. Are you sure?

00:07:41We're not disabled or something. We may be poor now, but we can always earn our money.

00:07:48We can work hard to make a living ourselves.

00:07:53I've never seen someone so easily content.

00:07:56He's just a filthy beggar! You're really gonna marry him?

00:07:59Evelyn, you're sure about this. Marry this beggar. And your future is ruined!

00:08:06I do not believe that is true. Future won't be decided like that.

00:08:11Lucas, he may be in rags now, but I can see his humility and good manner. He's gonna make a difference maybe.

00:08:18You are... Rule is rule. You're not eating your words, are you sir?

00:08:25Indeed. If he refuses, that's breaking the rules and gonna ruin their reputation. Seems well, she has to marry him.

00:08:31Indeed marry him! Indeed marry him!

00:08:33Indeed marry him!

00:08:35Since you wanna marry him, don't blame us in the future. You won't get a share of the coming glory of us.

00:08:41I understand.

00:08:44The matchmaking is concluded. Everyone disperse.

00:08:51Sister, no hard feelings.

00:08:54But marrying a beggar means you will spend your life beneath me.

00:09:01You should worry about yourself. Life with the Montague's is not as easy as you imagine.

00:09:07You...

00:09:08In three days, remember to come to propose.

00:09:23It's her or mother's pressing. So I might as well...

00:09:27Alright! I'll be there.

00:09:28Today, the second daughter of the Sarlene family is to be wed. Her dowry includes a pair of gold Phoenix hairpins laid with precious gems, plenty of boats of fine brocade, three land deeds for silk shops in the Eastern District.

00:09:47Lady Josephine Sterling's salary is worth a fortune, yet Lady Evelyn Sterling has nothing at all. They're both daughters of the Sarlene family, but the difference between them is astonishing.

00:09:55Sister, after marrying a beggar, you will likely toil for the rest of your life. I wonder if you can even endure such life.

00:10:10It's the bridegroom. The bridegroom has arrived.

00:10:12Oh, as expected of the second son of the Montague family, the spectacle is grand indeed.

00:10:20Of course, the Montagues hold immense power. Marrying into their family, Lady Josephine Sterling will live a life of endless luxury.

00:10:27Unlike Evelyn, marrying a beggar, this will certainly be an interesting sight to behold.

00:10:30My respects to my honor, father and mother-in-law.

00:10:33Please rise, my son-in-law.

00:10:34My son-in-law.

00:10:35Such an elaborate wedding procession is a spectacle worthy of Highgate.

00:10:40For our dear Josephine to be regarded so highly by you is an honor to the Sterling family.

00:10:49Sister, the auspicious hour is nearly over. Why has your husband not come for you?

00:10:54Could it be that he's not coming at all?

00:11:03I, your humble son-in-law, greet my honored father-in-law.

00:11:11My lady.

00:11:17My lady.

00:11:18Are you here to beg for the alms or take a bride?

00:11:20Dressed in such rags, do you not feel ashamed?

00:11:22Compared to Lord Montague, you're as far apart as heaven and earth.

00:11:27Just what are you wearing in front of so many esteemed officials?

00:11:31Are you not bringing shame upon me?

00:11:33Today is your wedding day.

00:11:35And yet you came dressed like this?

00:11:37Do you not find this is a disgrace?

00:11:39Do you not finding this humiliating?

00:11:41Marriage is a lifelong commitment, building upon sincerity, not mere appearances.

00:11:45The man I, Evelyn Sterling, have chosen is not one whose worth can be swayed by idle words.

00:11:50Have you not embarrassed us enough?

00:11:54Master, do not be angered.

00:11:56From the moment Evelyn steps beyond this threshold, she'll no longer be a Sterling.

00:12:01The auspicious hour has arrived! Bring the bride to the carriage!

00:12:05This is the...

00:12:13Congratulations, Master Sterling. Your son-in-law is truly an exceptional man.

00:12:20Many thanks, Deputy Minister. Please come inside.

00:12:25Off to you.

00:12:30Surely you didn't arrive on foot today.

00:12:33On such a big day, will you have the bride walk all the way to your home?

00:12:38Unheard of.

00:12:40Indeed. Not like my husband.

00:12:46My lady, please, allow me to take you home.

00:12:49Bow to the heavens and the earth.

00:13:10Is this the place you've found us to live in?

00:13:13Bow to the elders.

00:13:19A shabby place like this, is it even fit for living?

00:13:22I just didn't want you to blow your cover.

00:13:25And bow to each other as husband and wife.

00:13:28The ceremony is complete!

00:13:37My lady, I have put you through hardship, having a life with me in such a shabby place.

00:13:42Not at all.

00:13:44I actually think it's rather spacious.

00:13:47At least, it shields us from the wind and rain.

00:13:51If we work hard from now on, keep this place tidy,

00:13:54it'll soon feel much more comfortable.

00:13:56At this moment, I have nothing of value to give you.

00:14:00The shade pendant was left to me by my father.

00:14:03I've carried it with me all these years.

00:14:06And now, I'm giving it to you.

00:14:13It's so precious.

00:14:15Are you certain of it?

00:14:19Alright.

00:14:21I will cherish it well.

00:14:26You're up.

00:14:27Breakfast is ready.

00:14:28For you.

00:14:29Hey.

00:14:30Where are you going?

00:14:31Today is the wife's homecoming day.

00:14:32I made telemeds for my parents.

00:14:33But they're not quite finished.

00:14:34You're up.

00:14:35Breakfast is ready.

00:14:36For you.

00:14:37Hey.

00:14:38Where are you going?

00:14:39Today is the wife's homecoming day.

00:14:40I made telemeds for my parents.

00:14:41But they're not quite finished.

00:14:42I need to buy some more threats and complete them before I return home.

00:14:43Alright.

00:14:44I'll go with you.

00:14:45Alright.

00:14:46Let's go.

00:14:47Greetings, Your Majesty!

00:14:49Greetings, Your Majesty!

00:14:50Greetings, Your Majesty!

00:15:06I'll go with you.

00:15:07Alright.

00:15:08Let's go.

00:15:13Greetings, your ma-

00:15:14Greetings, your majesty!

00:15:20Greetings, your majesty!

00:15:26Who are they?

00:15:27The palace is too complicated.

00:15:28Once everything's settled, I'll reveal my identity to Evelyn.

00:15:31They are...

00:15:32They're here for Victor.

00:15:40Yes, yes.

00:15:41I used to serve in the palace.

00:15:43These are all old acquaintances.

00:15:48Evelyn, I'll help Victor to entertain the guests.

00:15:51Will you be alright buying threat on your own?

00:15:54Yes.

00:16:02Speak!

00:16:08What happened?

00:16:09The Empress Dowager distressed over your majesty's presence and suddenly collapsed.

00:16:12What?

00:16:13Victor, stay here and protect Evelyn.

00:16:15Let's head back.

00:16:16Yes, your majesty.

00:16:18Get someone to deliver some valuable gifts.

00:16:20To Stirling Estate.

00:16:21Say that they're Evelyn's homecoming gifts.

00:16:23Yes, your majesty.

00:16:24Let's go!

00:16:26Father!

00:16:27Mother!

00:16:28Your daughter has returned!

00:16:31Father!

00:16:32Why has sister returned alone?

00:16:39Today is your homecoming day.

00:16:41Sister, why have you returned alone?

00:16:43Are you ashamed of your beggar husband?

00:16:46So you didn't even bring him to meet the family.

00:16:49My husband wanted to come, but something urgent came up.

00:16:53Since being married to the beggar, Lady Evelyn Stirling must have suffered a great deal.

00:16:57You look much frailer than before.

00:17:01Had you not married that filthy beggar, perhaps I would have taken you as a concubine.

00:17:05At least you wouldn't have fallen to such a state.

00:17:08That will not be necessary.

00:17:09I am living well.

00:17:11As for you, sister, it has been quite a few days since you had seen your husband before.

00:17:15You-

00:17:16Oh.

00:17:17Screw you, Adrian.

00:17:18Went drinking with Quarzenz on our wedding night, and now everyone knows!

00:17:22We are utterly humiliating me!

00:17:24Josephine.

00:17:30Father, Mother.

00:17:31Greetings to you both.

00:17:33Greetings to you both.

00:17:34You've returned alone?

00:17:36How can you still have the face to come back?

00:17:38What does your husband do all day?

00:17:40Not even accompanying you for your homecoming?

00:17:43Mother, you're thinking too highly of her.

00:17:46That filthy beggar is probably begging in the streets right now.

00:17:50How could he possibly compare to my husband?

00:17:53Father-in-law, your humble son-in-law has brought a small gift.

00:17:57Oh!

00:17:58Oh!

00:17:59Oh!

00:18:00Oh!

00:18:01Hmm!

00:18:02Oh!

00:18:03Our dear Josephine has truly found herself a fine husband!

00:18:06For our daughter to marry such a fine gentleman, it must be the blessing she has earned over eight lifetimes!

00:18:11Unlike someone who chose a beggar as her husband, our sterling family has raised you for so many years, and yet you come back empty-handed on your homecoming day!

00:18:22Indeed, sister. This is my homecoming gift.

00:18:26Have you fallen into such poverty that you cannot even afford a proper homecoming gift?

00:18:38Father, mother, these are the two protective talamans I made for you by hand. A blessing to you both. Wishing you peace and prosperity.

00:18:45Oh!

00:18:48Get out!

00:18:51What a disgrace!

00:18:53Sister, is this truly what you've brought? A few scraps of cloth with embroidery? How dare you present these?

00:19:00Well, she did marry a beggar. So her gift befits her status perfectly.

00:19:06Oh, right. She has married a beggar. What else could we expect from her?

00:19:11Ha-ha-ha-ha!

00:19:13Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

00:19:17Master! Madame! Someone from the palace has arrived with gifts!

00:19:20They say they are the homecoming gifts from Lady Eveline.

00:19:26Master Shirley! Who exactly has your eldest daughter married a mountain debility?

00:19:30Even the palace saw fit to have me personally deliver the gifts to you.

00:19:33You must hold great influence indeed.

00:19:35Gifts from the palace? Then it must be from his majesty himself.

00:19:38himself it was personally arranged by the chief eunuch at his majesty's side he said for the

00:19:44starling family's eldest daughter oh mr ashford you must be mistaken all of highgate knows that

00:19:56evelyn married a beggar how could she possibly have ties to anyone in the palace oh this must

00:25:36for a mere jade pendant a lady born into privilege would willingly walk across burning charcoal

00:25:43no wonder she was foolish enough to marry a mere beggar after all what does a beggar have to his

00:25:48name but worthless trinkets this jay pendant is likely his most treasured possession no wonder

00:27:54the fate of a woman who wets a beggar can only be one to be trampled upon our will

00:28:00you exhaust yourself trying to torment me but do you truly believe you'll get your way

00:28:07i want you to spend the rest of your days wallowing in the gutter watching as i rise to become the most

00:28:13esteemed woman in the world

00:28:45i didn't lose your jade pendant

00:28:53did they say it was his majesty how could it be him that beggar is dressed in such luxurious robes

00:28:58and those men are they the imperial guards why would they take orders from a beggar i heard

00:32:21I summoned them!

00:32:23That voice!

00:32:24Could it be?

00:32:26Your majesty!

00:32:29Your majesty!

00:32:33The emperor!

00:32:34How could this filthy beggar...

00:32:36Brother!

00:32:36Don't let this filthy beggar fool you!

00:32:39These clothes he's wearing are all stolen from the imperial palace!

00:32:41All these people were bribed by him with 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 the wrong person, but he really is a filthy beggar!

00:32:49He can't possibly be the emperor!

00:32:51That's true!

00:32:52The emperor couldn't possibly be here!

00:32:54Wretched girl, look at the fine husband you've chosen!

00:32:58You've offended Lord Montague!

00:32:59I'll see how you plan to end this!

00:33:02My lord, you must uphold justice for us!

00:33:05This filthy beggar and Evelyn Sterling, they defied human ethics!

00:33:09Even intended to murder us!

00:33:11Outrageous!

00:33:12At the foot of the imperial city!

00:33:14How can you act so brazenly?

00:33:15Guards!

00:33:16Take them to the dungeon of the judicial court!

00:33:18Interrogate them with torture!

00:33:19Wait!

00:33:21What else do you have to say?

00:33:23Since when?

00:33:24What's this position of Lord Justice Deputy?

00:33:26Yours to assume!

00:33:27You filthy beggar!

00:33:29How could you possibly know about court appointments?

00:33:31My brother was appointed by the Empress Dowager herself!

00:33:34What now?

00:33:34Regret finally sinking in?

00:33:36Even the Empress Dowager was deceived!

00:33:39Your Montague family truly is impressive!

00:33:45Empress Dowager, please speak up for your subject!

00:33:48His Majesty, outside the palace, married the eldest daughter of the Sterling family!

00:33:51Because that woman, His Majesty, even lashed out!

00:33:53You said His Majesty married another woman outside the palace?

00:33:57Guards!

00:33:57Prepare the sedan!

00:34:01Insolent!

00:34:02How dare you offend the Emperor's Dowager?

00:34:04Are you trying to get yourself killed?

00:34:05Lord Montague, please see clearly!

00:34:08Our Sterling family has long severed ties with Evelyn Sterling!

00:34:11Every word she says has nothing to do with us!

00:34:13That's right, my lord!

00:34:15Our Sterling family has always followed the rules!

00:34:17We would never dare speak against the royal family!

00:34:19Please, see the truth, my lord!

00:34:21The President in the world is the capital of crime!

00:34:23You must not let them go, my lord!

00:34:24Evelyn Sterling, your dear husband has now committed a heinous crime!

00:34:28No matter who comes today, they cannot save you!

00:34:31I can't, I can't let Lucas break up your arm!

00:34:34Spare us, my lord!

00:34:36He didn't mean to 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 to block us again, kill without mercy!

00:34:52Yes, sir!

00:34:52Trying to escape?

00:34:58It's not that easy!

00:35:04Lucas!

00:35:09Lucas!

00:35:10Lucas!

00:35:12Josephine Sterling, why is your heart so vicious?

00:35:15Lucas has no grievance with you, yet you harms him so cruelly!

00:35:18This filthy beggar actually tried to have some disfigure me?

00:35:21Of course I couldn't let you leave!

00:35:23Lucas!

00:35:27Stop looking!

00:35:28Your man won't be here to save you this time!

00:35:30You've got a death wish!

00:35:32Lucas!

00:35:34Well, you still can't hurry and go!

00:35:35I can't!

00:35:36Go?

00:35:37You still think he can go?

00:35:40Josephine Sterling, why won't you just let me go?

00:35:46I have to admit,

00:35:47Sister, you're truly fortunate if marrying a beggar you still found true love!

00:35:53What a pity!

00:35:54The more you're like this, the more impossible it is for me to let you have your way!

00:35:58You-

00:35:58Josephine!

00:36:00The grudge between us should not involve others!

00:36:03You can do whatever you want to me!

00:36:05I beg you, let Lucas go, please!

00:36:08Avalyn, you don't need to waste your breath on her!

00:36:11I can't drag you into this!

00:36:12How touching!

00:36:14Even at a time like this!

00:36:16You still have time to flirt with this filthy beggar?

00:36:19Since you're feeling wrong so deep,

00:36:22I might as well send you both...

00:36:24To death together!

00:36:26What are you waiting for?

00:36:28Die!

00:36:29Avalyn, watch out!

00:36:30The Emperor Stowager has arrived!

00:36:34I'd like to see who dares harm my royal son!

00:36:40He really is the Emperor?

00:36:44He-

00:36:45He really is the Emperor?

00:36:47Avalyn!

00:36:48Imperial physician!

00:36:50Call the Imperial physician quickly!

00:36:51Your Majesty!

00:36:52Victor Langley,

00:36:53I ordered her to immediately send her back for treatment.

00:36:56If anything happens to her,

00:36:57I'll make sure you pay!

00:36:58Your servitor, Bakes!

00:36:58Come, come, come!

00:37:00Hurry!

00:37:03Your Majesty,

00:37:04all members of the Starling family have been arrested.

00:37:07Your Majesty?

00:37:08Your...

00:37:08Your 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 and his family

00:37:18are executed on the spot!

00:37:20Master!

00:37:23Madam!

00:37:25Adam and Montague,

00:37:26as an official of the court,

00:37:27you abused your power

00:37:28and aided evil

00:37:29from this day forth.

00:37:30You are stripped of your duty,

00:37:32imprisoned,

00:37:33along the Montague

00:37:33in the judicial court.

00:37:34Spare me, Your Majesty.

00:37:35Spare me.

00:37:36Please, your...

00:37:37Spare me, Your Majesty!

00:37:38I beg, Your Majesty,

00:37:39to revoke the order!

00:37:41It was my fault!

00:37:43I failed to see the truth!

00:37:46Your Majesty!

00:37:47When you humiliated Evelyn back then,

00:37:49did you ever think this day would come?

00:37:53Impossible!

00:37:54Given a second chance to life,

00:37:56how can I still make the wrong choice?

00:37:58Empress Dowager,

00:37:59I did commit a grave offense,

00:38:00but it was all under the orders

00:38:01of the Starling family.

00:38:02Empress Dowager,

00:38:03please,

00:38:03for the sake of my father's honor,

00:38:05spare me once!

00:38:07I beg, Your Majesty,

00:38:08and Empress Dowager for 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 unfilial sons

00:38:16of the Montague family

00:38:17are foolish,

00:38:17they were not the masterminds.

00:38:19They should be punished lighter.

00:38:20The Starling family

00:38:21is a household of 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.

00:38:54Lie down quickly.

00:38:54The Imperius Physician said

00:38:55you have to lie down.

00:38:57Come on.

00:38:58Imperial Physician?

00:39:01What is going on?

00:39:03Why are we in the palace?

00:39:05What exactly happened?

00:39:08It was the Empress Dowager

00:39:09who saved us.

00:39:10The Empress Dowager?

00:39:13You want to make

00:39:14Evelyn Sterling your Empress?

00:39:16I absolutely do not approve!

00:39:18I pledge myself to Evelyn

00:39:20for life in private.

00:39:22Whether you approve or not,

00:39:23I will overcome all obstacles

00:39:24to make Evelyn my Empress.

00:39:26You!

00:39:29If you truly wish

00:39:30to make her Empress,

00:39:31she must pass my test.

00:39:34But,

00:39:36but,

00:39:37before that,

00:39:39you must not let her

00:39:40know your identity.

00:39:42Otherwise,

00:39:43I have plenty of ways

00:39:45to stop you.

00:39:48She left the palace to pray.

00:39:50Just happened to walk

00:39:51by the Sterling State.

00:39:52That's how she saved us.

00:39:55Then,

00:39:56what about my father

00:39:59and the others?

00:39:59The Empress Dowager

00:40:00gave the order

00:40:01to have them all

00:40:02beat in 50 strikes each.

00:40:03Adrian Montague

00:40:04frequented pleasure districts.

00:40:05His body couldn't take it

00:40:06and he fainted.

00:40:07The Empress Dowager

00:40:08ordered him to be put

00:40:09in confinement

00:40:09and your sister

00:40:10was also sent

00:40:11to the Office of Discipline

00:40:12to do hard labor.

00:40:13And for your father

00:40:14and the others,

00:40:15they were exiled.

00:40:17Exiled?

00:40:17Avalyn,

00:40:21from now on,

00:40:22I will protect you.

00:40:25I asked the Empress Dowager

00:40:26for a position

00:40:27and assigned you

00:40:28to the Imperial Household Bureau.

00:40:30From now on,

00:40:30the two of us

00:40:31will be working

00:40:31in the palace.

00:40:35That's wonderful.

00:40:36When the time comes,

00:40:38we may work in 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

00:40:52you can forgive me.

00:40:58Avalyn,

00:40:59when I have some free time,

00:41:00I'll come to see you.

00:41:02Alright.

00:41:05Greetings.

00:41:06Ahem.

00:41:09Ahem.

00:41:11Guests should notify us

00:41:15before touring

00:41:16the Imperial Household Bureau.

00:41:20This one here

00:41:21is the steward of 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 of 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 will

00:41:41let her do heavy work.

00:41:47Lucas,

00:41:49I came here to work, right?

00:41:51Why does it feel like

00:41:52I'm being treated

00:41:53like a mistress?

00:41:58She...

00:41:59Maybe she's

00:42:02a nice person.

00:42:03Miss Evelyn,

00:42:09please come with me.

00:42:12Go ahead.

00:42:13You...

00:42:14Clean all of these thoroughly.

00:42:30You and I both work

00:42:31at the Imperial Household Bureau.

00:42:33The tasks are assigned in advance.

00:42:34Why should I be the one

00:42:35to do your work?

00:42:36You've got the nerves to ask?

00:42:37It's because of you

00:42:38that I ended up

00:42:39cleaning the toilet vault.

00:42:40Some people must have

00:42:41used certain means

00:42:42to land a post here

00:42:43and somehow even earn

00:42:44Ma'am Langston's favor.

00:42:45She got all the

00:42:46Yeezy's work

00:42:46assigned to you.

00:42:47Hey!

00:42:54Give it back to me!

00:43:04The dragon jade pendant?

00:43:09There's something

00:43:09only his majesty can wear.

00:43:11Hurry in and

00:43:11inform Madam Langston.

00:43:12Someone is stealing.

00:43:14Oh, majesty.

00:43:15Give it back to me

00:43:16right now.

00:43:23Ah!

00:43:26What are you waiting for?

00:43:31Grab her!

00:43:34Everyone, stop right there.

00:43:41Your grace.

00:43:43The Imperial Household Bureau

00:43:44is such a crude place.

00:43:46You have never come here before.

00:43:47It might harm your noble health.

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

00:43:51No need.

00:43:52This time, I am disguised

00:43:53as a Bureau matron

00:43:54because I want to truly know

00:43:56Evelyn Sterling.

00:43:57She must never learn

00:43:59of my identity.

00:44:01Palace rules are strict.

00:44:10I was only gone

00:44:11for a little while.

00:44:12And you dare behave

00:44:13so wildly.

00:44:14What do you take

00:44:15the Imperial Household Bureau

00:44:16for?

00:44:16Ma'am, she stole

00:44:17His Majesty's

00:44:18jade pendant.

00:44:21The one thing

00:44:21most forbidden

00:44:22in the harm

00:44:23is Eve.

00:44:23She feared being exposed

00:44:24and even tried

00:44:25to harm me.

00:44:26Ma'am,

00:44:27you must punish her

00:44:28properly.

00:44:29Ma'am Langston,

00:44:30please let me explain.

00:44:32This isn't what happened.

00:44:33Enough.

00:44:34Hand over the jade pendant.

00:44:39The pendant

00:44:40belongs to me.

00:44:43I said

00:44:44hand over the jade pendant.

00:44:46The dragon jade pendant.

00:45:01It truly belongs

00:45:03to His Majesty.

00:45:04The dragon jade pendant.

00:45:06It truly belongs

00:45:07to His Majesty.

00:45:08The Emperor

00:45:09even gave her

00:45:10something this important?

00:45:11She even dares

00:45:12to steal

00:45:13His Majesty's pendant.

00:45:14In the future,

00:45:15who knows

00:45:15what outrageous

00:45:16things she might do.

00:45:17Palace rules

00:45:18are very clear.

00:45:19Anyone caught

00:45:20stealing goods

00:45:20worth more than

00:45:21one dollar

00:45:21will have their

00:45:22left foot cut off

00:45:23and be branded.

00:45:24Ma'am,

00:45:25please listen

00:45:26to my explanation.

00:45:27This pendant

00:45:27was given to me

00:45:28by someone

00:45:28very dear to me.

00:45:30It was definitely

00:45:31not stolen.

00:45:32I truly don't know

00:45:33how it could

00:45:33belong to His Majesty.

00:45:34We confirmed

00:45:35the pendant

00:45:35belongs to my son.

00:45:37Wouldn't that

00:45:37expose us

00:45:38to your identity?

00:45:39No.

00:45:40We can't rely

00:45:41on the object

00:45:41to prove

00:45:42there was theft involved.

00:45:43I'll thoroughly

00:45:44investigate this matter

00:45:45until the truth

00:45:46is found.

00:45:47The pendant

00:45:47will remain with me.

00:45:48If you are

00:45:49truly innocent,

00:45:50I will make

00:45:50things right for you.

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

00:45:54This is the new

00:45:55steward,

00:45:55Madam Williams.

00:45:56From now on,

00:45:57she will work

00:45:58with me

00:45:58to manage the Bureau.

00:45:59All of you,

00:46:00behave yourselves.

00:46:01Anyone who tries

00:46:02to be sneaky

00:46:02or lazy

00:46:03will be punished

00:46:04according to

00:46:04palace rules.

00:46:06Yes, Ma'am.

00:46:11Your bullying

00:46:12of your colleague

00:46:13has not been settled yet.

00:46:14You are to clean

00:46:15toilet bowl

00:46:15as punishment.

00:46:16You may eat

00:46:17only when you finish.

00:46:21Yes, Ma'am.

00:46:34Oh, isn't this much

00:46:41better?

00:46:51Your Majesty,

00:46:52Miss Caldwell

00:46:52has come to the palace

00:46:53again today.

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

00:46:55No.

00:46:56Tell her to go back

00:46:56where she came from.

00:46:57This...

00:46:59You.

00:47:00Go back.

00:47:01I'm going to see

00:47:02Evelyn.

00:47:02If you follow me,

00:47:03you'll expose

00:47:03my identity.

00:47:05Out of the way.

00:47:05Uh...

00:47:06Evelyn.

00:47:10Evelyn.

00:47:10I...

00:47:12I...

00:47:13I...

00:47:13Lucas.

00:47:15Lucas.

00:47:16Why are you here?

00:47:19How can Madam

00:47:20Langston let you

00:47:21do 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

00:47:29the toilet bowl

00:47:30is not a big deal.

00:47:32Evelyn.

00:47:32I...

00:47:37I...

00:47:37I'm sorry

00:47:45you had to endure this.

00:47:46I promise I'll find a way

00:47:47to get you out of here

00:47:48as soon as possible.

00:47:50By the way,

00:47:51the jade pendant of yours,

00:47:53what's the story behind it?

00:47:54Why is it

00:47:55that they keep saying

00:47:56that the pendant

00:47:57belongs to His Majesty?

00:47:59Uh, my father...

00:48:01My father once won

00:48:02first place

00:48:02in the Imperial exam

00:48:03to encourage

00:48:04outstanding scholars,

00:48:05His Majesty rewarded him

00:48:06with the jade pendant.

00:48:07This is how it came

00:48:08into our hands.

00:48:09Oh, I see.

00:48:10All they say

00:48:11is His Majesty,

00:48:12His Majesty.

00:48:12I thought maybe

00:48:13you were lying to me.

00:48:18Who's there?

00:48:22It's Madam Willems.

00:48:24Hurry up, go.

00:48:25Come let her see you.

00:48:25Tomorrow.

00:48:26I'll come to see you

00:48:27tomorrow again.

00:48:32Madam Willems.

00:48:35All the toilet bowls

00:48:37have been cleaned.

00:48:38Cleaned already?

00:48:40Then go sweep

00:48:41the entire back courtyard.

00:48:46Yes, ma'am.

00:48:48Finally done

00:48:49with everything.

00:48:50I'm finally done

00:48:53with everything.

00:48:54Why are you throwing

00:49:03my things?

00:49:04Madam Willems

00:49:04gave orders herself.

00:49:06She said

00:49:06at first light tomorrow

00:49:07you're to deliver

00:49:08her medicine.

00:49:08Ma'am said

00:49:09the medicine

00:49:10must be boiled

00:49:11with morning dew.

00:49:12Tonight,

00:49:12you 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

00:49:22always picking on me?

00:49:23Madam Willems

00:49:23already showed me

00:49:25mercy by

00:49:25not punishing

00:49:26for the theft

00:49:26last time.

00:49:27All she asked

00:49:27was for you

00:49:28to collect

00:49:28the morning dew.

00:49:29You should be grateful.

00:49:30The pendant

00:49:30wasn't stolen at all.

00:49:31Stop falsely accusing me.

00:49:33Not stolen?

00:49:33Are you saying

00:49:34His Majesty

00:49:34gave it to you himself?

00:49:35You...

00:49:35Huh?

00:49:45The night

00:49:45air is damned

00:49:46with dew.

00:49:47I'm going inside

00:49:47to get my own blanket.

00:49:48Is that not allowed?

00:49:49Huh?

00:49:50What arrogance?

00:49:50This is the Imperial Palace.

00:49:52There's no such thing

00:49:53as yours or mine.

00:49:54Don't think that

00:49:54just because

00:49:54Malin lost

00:49:55so you can do

00:49:55whatever you want.

00:49:58Who said

00:49:59you could come in?

00:50:00Move aside.

00:50:08Avalyn.

00:50:11Avalyn.

00:50:12Are you all right?

00:50:14Who did this?

00:50:16Victor Langley,

00:50:17why is he here?

00:50:18Could it be

00:50:19that he is...

00:50:20You want to die?

00:50:23Your Majesty!

00:50:29You're the Emperor.

00:50:32You're his Majesty.

00:50:35Insolent servant!

00:50:39You must never let her

00:50:41discover your

00:50:42true identity.

00:50:42My deepest apologies,

00:50:53Your Majesty.

00:50:54I merely saw someone

00:50:55injured and acted

00:50:56out of concern.

00:50:59Fortunately,

00:51:00it wasn't

00:51:00His Majesty.

00:51:01But...

00:51:02Has Master Langley

00:51:03been by

00:51:04His Majesty's side?

00:51:06Master Langley,

00:51:07what is going on here?

00:51:08Oh,

00:51:10this young guy in here,

00:51:12he bids a strike

00:51:12in resemblance

00:51:13to His Majesty.

00:51:14I specifically

00:51:14brought him to the palace

00:51:15to interrogate him.

00:51:17Uh-uh.

00:51:18Hey,

00:51:19you,

00:51:19the new one,

00:51:20how can you be so

00:51:20ignorant of the rules?

00:51:21Don't you notice

00:51:22you behave yourself here?

00:51:23I humbly apologize.

00:51:25I acknowledge

00:51:26my error.

00:51:27Madam Langston,

00:51:28I beg your pardon.

00:51:29It's entirely my fault

00:51:30for causing

00:51:31this young officer concern.

00:51:32And if you understand

00:51:33your error,

00:51:33they'll leave at once.

00:51:44As for you...

00:51:47Fraternizing with the guards

00:51:49is a grave matter.

00:51:50Yet Madam Williams

00:51:51nearly punished her

00:51:52with kneeling.

00:51:53The last time

00:51:53she stole a jade pendant,

00:51:54that incident

00:51:55was also swept

00:51:56under the rug.

00:51:58Tell me,

00:51:58if His Majesty knew

00:52:00she had stolen

00:52:00his jade pendant,

00:52:01how do you think

00:52:02he would handle her?

00:52:13I shall inform

00:52:14His Majesty at once.

00:52:16It was you

00:52:16who stole his jade pendant.

00:52:18Let us see

00:52:18if he will still

00:52:19let you off so easily.

00:52:20Ah!

00:52:22Ah, my face!

00:52:24My face!

00:52:25Ah, my face!

00:52:27Ah!

00:52:29You foolish serpent!

00:52:30What have you put

00:52:31in this bowl?

00:52:32I obtained a recipe

00:52:34from a tallist

00:52:34who claimed

00:52:35it could enhance

00:52:36one's beauty

00:52:36when consumed.

00:52:40I only wished

00:52:41to do what was best

00:52:42for Madam Williams,

00:52:43which is why

00:52:43I acted so foolishly.

00:52:45How dare you serve

00:52:46something of unknown

00:52:47origin to ma'am

00:52:48if this rash

00:52:49on her face

00:52:49does not fade?

00:52:51How will you

00:52:52atone for this?

00:52:53Madam!

00:52:54Guards!

00:52:54Drag her away

00:52:55and sell her

00:52:56to a slave trader!

00:52:57Madam Williams,

00:52:58have mercy!

00:52:59Madam, have mercy!

00:53:00Please!

00:53:01Madam!

00:53:02Madam, have mercy!

00:53:04Madam!

00:53:06Madam!

00:53:09May I be permitted

00:53:10to try?

00:53:11You?

00:53:14You?

00:53:15I've studied

00:53:15medical texts

00:53:16and I can prepare

00:53:17herbal remedy

00:53:18that might alleviate

00:53:19the rash

00:53:19on your face.

00:53:24If...

00:53:25If my myths

00:53:28prove effective,

00:53:29I beg you, Madam,

00:53:31to spare Isabella's life.

00:53:42His Majesty

00:53:43has not paid me

00:53:44attention for a long time,

00:53:46yet I hear

00:53:47he has recently

00:53:48been visiting

00:53:48the Imperial Household Bureau.

00:53:50Tell me,

00:53:50who could be

00:53:51in the Imperial Household Bureau

00:53:52to capture

00:53:52His Majesty's

00:53:53interest so deeply?

00:53:55I don't know!

00:53:56I know nothing!

00:53:58Speak!

00:54:02I remember now!

00:54:03There is indeed someone

00:54:04who dares to do

00:54:05such a thing!

00:54:06Oh?

00:54:06It may not look appealing,

00:54:19but it is true

00:54:20that the rash

00:54:20has faded somewhat.

00:54:24It seems

00:54:25you do have

00:54:26some skill.

00:54:27Thank you

00:54:28for your praise, Madam.

00:54:29Adam,

00:54:30you need to only

00:54:31wait six more hours

00:54:32and the rash

00:54:33will completely

00:54:34disappear.

00:54:46What are you trying to do now?

00:55:01If it weren't for you today,

00:55:03I might have already

00:55:04been taken away.

00:55:06As for what happened

00:55:07before,

00:55:07I owe you an apology.

00:55:09I will accept

00:55:09any punishment

00:55:10or scolding you see fit.

00:55:11Why would I start?

00:55:23So you're willing

00:55:24to forgive me?

00:55:27You're not

00:55:28entirely a bad person.

00:55:30It's just

00:55:31that your words

00:55:32can be utterly vicious.

00:55:34Let's go.

00:55:46Her Majesty,

00:55:48I believe

00:55:49that His Majesty's

00:55:50insistence on making

00:55:51Lady Evelyn the Empress

00:55:52does not seem

00:55:53like a mere impulse.

00:55:55Lady Evelyn

00:55:56truly possesses

00:55:57remarkable qualities.

00:56:00I'll see you

00:56:01to Chesna, Kay.

00:56:02It was her!

00:56:04It was you

00:56:13who seduced

00:56:13His Majesty.

00:56:17With a

00:56:18stuck-to-face of yours.

00:56:19No wonder

00:56:19you can't stay

00:56:20out of trouble.

00:56:21His Majesty

00:56:22finding a bride

00:56:22outside the palace

00:56:23is not being.

00:56:24But when did

00:56:25your lowly servants

00:56:26dare to entertain

00:56:27such wicked thoughts?

00:56:29When did Evelyn

00:56:29ever seduce

00:56:30His Majesty?

00:56:31Isabella,

00:56:31have you forgotten

00:56:32how much we suffered

00:56:33because of her?

00:56:33Evelyn never once

00:56:34provoked me intentionally.

00:56:35It was you

00:56:36who kept

00:56:37taking fights deliberately.

00:56:39Isabella!

00:56:41Do you even know

00:56:42who I am?

00:56:43How dare you

00:56:43act so insolently

00:56:44in my presence?

00:56:46Susan.

00:56:50Wait!

00:56:51The person

00:56:52standing before you

00:56:53is Lady Caldwell,

00:56:54daughter of Chancellor

00:56:55Caldwell.

00:56:55She's the one

00:56:56and the Empress

00:56:56has chosen

00:56:58to be Empress.

00:56:59What a fool.

00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell

00:57:00is the esteemed

00:57:01daughter of the Chancellor,

00:57:02surely you are

00:57:03a reasonable person.

00:57:04We have never even

00:57:04met His Majesty.

00:57:05So how could there

00:57:06be any talk

00:57:07of seduction?

00:57:07I beg you

00:57:08Lady Caldwell,

00:57:09spare me.

00:57:10I heard from Eleanor

00:57:11that you not only

00:57:12seduced His Majesty,

00:57:13but also entangled

00:57:14yourself with the guards.

00:57:15That face of yours

00:57:16is too dangerous

00:57:17to keep.

00:57:18the Imperial Household Bureau

00:57:44is part of the harem.

00:57:45Since when

00:57:46is it your place

00:57:46to interfere?

00:57:48A mere old servant

00:57:49dares to raise

00:57:50your voice

00:57:51in front of me?

00:57:52You!

00:57:52How dare you!

00:57:54His Majesty

00:57:55and I grew up together.

00:57:56I'm the only

00:57:57candidate for emphasis.

00:57:58The harm

00:57:58will be mine

00:57:59sooner or later.

00:58:00Dealing the lowly maid

00:58:01is nothing to me.

00:58:03Repocterous!

00:58:04Do you even know

00:58:04who stands before you?

00:58:07Aren't you just

00:58:08a lowborn servant?

00:58:11If I don't teach you

00:58:12a lesson,

00:58:12you'll never learn

00:58:13your place.

00:58:14Restrainer as well.

00:58:16Eleanor,

00:58:17you wouldn't dare.

00:58:22I never expected you

00:58:24to be so venomous

00:58:25at heart.

00:58:26Her Majesty

00:58:26truly misjudged you.

00:58:29You dare call yourself

00:58:30Her Majesty?

00:58:31Who are you taking

00:58:31yourself for?

00:58:32The Empress Dowager?

00:58:32A disfigured old

00:58:39rich like you

00:58:40dare to use the title

00:58:41of the Empress Dowager.

00:58:42It seems you

00:58:42have grown tired

00:58:43of living.

00:58:44It seems you still

00:58:44refuse to admit

00:58:45your wrongdoing.

00:58:46What wrong have I done?

00:58:48You born into lowly status

00:58:50can only be servants

00:58:51of the palace.

00:58:51To defy your superiors

00:58:53is to seek death.

00:58:54You, Lady Catwell,

00:58:55the inner court

00:58:56is under the jurisdiction

00:58:57of His Majesty

00:58:58and the Empress Dowager.

00:58:59To deal with the palace

00:58:59servants privately

00:59:00is likely against the rules.

00:59:02I beg you to show mercy.

00:59:03As the head

00:59:03of the Imperial House of Hero,

00:59:05you have allowed

00:59:06your mage

00:59:06to introduce

00:59:07His Majesty.

00:59:08Such behaviors

00:59:08as a dangerous example.

00:59:10This is unforgivable.

00:59:11Fetch my way.

00:59:11The Spring Blossom banquet

00:59:18will be held

00:59:19at the beginning

00:59:19of next month.

00:59:20This year,

00:59:20all the nobles

00:59:21and dignitaries

00:59:22will be in attendance.

00:59:23Everything must be

00:59:24prepared perfectly.

00:59:25Your Majesty,

00:59:26rest assured,

00:59:27I will spare no effort

00:59:28in ensuring its success.

00:59:31You insolent servant,

00:59:33how dare you

00:59:33disturb His Majesty?

00:59:35His Majesty?

00:59:37His humble mate

00:59:38greets Your Majesty

00:59:38and beg Your Majesty

00:59:39to visit

00:59:51greets Your Majesty

00:59:52and beg Your Majesty

00:59:52to visit

00:59:53and save Evelyn Sterling.

00:59:54What did you say?

00:59:56Evelyn's in danger.

01:00:08What are you doing?

01:00:11It was me

01:00:11who offended Lady Cowell

01:00:12and I got wish for him

01:00:13who suffered punishment

01:00:14on my account.

01:00:17Since you are so eager

01:00:18to play the hero,

01:00:19I shall grant

01:00:19your wish today.

01:00:21Enough!

01:00:22Anna Caldwell,

01:00:23Her Majesty

01:00:24advises you

01:00:25not to go too far,

01:00:26otherwise...

01:00:26You called yourself

01:00:27Her Majesty again?

01:00:28You reckless wretch!

01:00:29Today,

01:00:29I shall teach you

01:00:30the rules

01:00:30on behalf of the Empress

01:00:31that was...

01:00:32Anna Caldwell!

01:00:32Do you know

01:00:36who you are

01:00:37about to whip?

01:00:38Your Majesty...

01:00:39I greet the Empress Dowager!

01:00:44I greet

01:00:45Your Majesty

01:00:45the Empress Dowager?

01:00:48How could she possibly

01:00:49be the Empress Dowager?

01:00:55How could she possibly

01:00:56be the Empress Dowager?

01:00:58How is this possible?

01:01:00Her Majesty

01:01:01was merely testing me,

01:01:03but she never expected

01:01:04you to be so insolent.

01:01:05How dare you

01:01:06overstep and offend

01:01:07Her Majesty herself!

01:01:09Your Majesty,

01:01:11this humble subject

01:01:11admits her fault!

01:01:13I failed to recognize

01:01:14that you were

01:01:14the Empress Dowager.

01:01:15I beg Your Majesty

01:01:16for forgiveness!

01:01:17I beg the Emperor

01:01:18for mercy!

01:01:19The Emperor...

01:01:20This humble official

01:01:25believes this matter

01:01:26is of great importance.

01:01:27It concerns the dignity

01:01:27of the Empress Dowager.

01:01:28I implore Your Majesty

01:01:29to carefully

01:01:30consider the matter.

01:01:37Exactly!

01:01:39How could you

01:01:39dare to offend

01:01:41the Empress Dowager?

01:01:42Admit your fault at once!

01:01:43This humble subject

01:01:44admits my fault!

01:01:46Your Majesty!

01:01:47It was this wretched maid!

01:01:48She told me

01:01:49to seduce His Majesty!

01:01:52This is why

01:01:52I lost my composure!

01:01:54Lady Caldwell!

01:01:55It was clear to you!

01:01:56If it weren't

01:01:56for your manipulation,

01:01:57how could I have spoken

01:01:58so recklessly

01:01:59before the Empress Dowager?

01:02:00The palace maid

01:02:01Eleanor Fairfox

01:02:02has spread rumors

01:02:03and caused trouble.

01:02:04Take her away

01:02:04and sell her at once!

01:02:07The palace maid

01:02:08Eleanor Fairfox

01:02:08has spread rumors

01:02:09and caused trouble.

01:02:10Take her away

01:02:11and sell her at once!

01:02:11Your Majesty,

01:02:12have mercy!

01:02:13I did not spread rumors!

01:02:14I saw Evelyn flirting

01:02:15with the guards!

01:02:16I truly did not

01:02:17spread rumors!

01:02:18Your Majesty!

01:02:19I beg Your Majesty!

01:02:20You are the eldest

01:02:21daughter of the

01:02:21sturdy family!

01:02:22How dare you!

01:02:22Anna Caldwell,

01:02:23I always believed

01:02:24you to be a kind-hearted,

01:02:26yet I never expected

01:02:27you to be ruthless.

01:02:28You've overstepped

01:02:28your place

01:02:29and still dared to dream

01:02:30of becoming Empress.

01:02:31You are sentenced

01:02:31to one year

01:02:32in the Office of Discipline

01:02:33to reflect on your actions.

01:02:34Office of Discipline?

01:02:35No!

01:02:36Your Majesty!

01:02:37This humble subject

01:02:37admits her fault!

01:02:38Your Majesty,

01:02:39please spare me!

01:02:40I do not want to go

01:02:40to the Office of Discipline!

01:02:43I have questions for you.

01:02:45Where is

01:02:54Her Majesty

01:02:54taking them?

01:03:03Evelyn!

01:03:05Lucas!

01:03:06Did the Empress

01:03:07tell you to punish you?

01:03:08Of course not!

01:03:09Her Majesty

01:03:09wished to discuss

01:03:10the Spring Blossom

01:03:10Banquet with me.

01:03:12That's a relief.

01:03:14Evelyn!

01:03:15has passed the test!

01:03:18Wonderful!

01:03:19I will reveal

01:03:20my identity to her

01:03:21and make her my Empress!

01:03:22There is no need

01:03:23to rush the coronation.

01:03:25The Ministry of Rights

01:03:26is preparing

01:03:26for the Spring Blossom

01:03:28Banquet next month.

01:03:29They may not have

01:03:30enough resources

01:03:30to manage both.

01:03:32Moreover,

01:03:33this matter is too sudden.

01:03:35I'm concerned

01:03:35the other Ministers

01:03:37may object.

01:03:38Mother,

01:03:39why not let Evelyn

01:03:40organize the Spring Blossom

01:03:41Banquet?

01:03:41If she can manage

01:03:42this banquet,

01:03:43it will not only

01:03:43prove her capability,

01:03:44but also

01:03:45make her coronation

01:03:45more acceptable

01:03:46to everyone.

01:03:48Her Majesty

01:03:49wants you to take charge

01:03:50of the Spring Blossom

01:03:51Banquet.

01:03:51Me?

01:03:53I don't know

01:03:54how to organize it.

01:03:58Don't worry.

01:03:59Trust your abilities.

01:04:00You shall triumph.

01:04:01I'll also assist you

01:04:02behind the scenes.

01:04:02All right.

01:04:14Get moving,

01:04:15all of you.

01:04:17If anyone

01:04:17dares to slack off,

01:04:18my whip

01:04:19shows no mercy.

01:04:25Useless fool!

01:04:26Do you still think

01:04:28you're a pampered

01:04:28young lady?

01:04:29Huh?

01:04:30Once you're in

01:04:30the office

01:04:31of discipline,

01:04:32no one gets

01:04:32to laze around.

01:04:37Evelyn Sterling,

01:04:39this is all your fault!

01:04:43Get it!

01:04:44Don't touch me!

01:04:45I'm the daughter

01:04:46of Chancellor

01:04:46Caldwell!

01:04:47You better

01:04:48show some respect!

01:04:54The daughter

01:04:55of Chancellor

01:04:56Caldwell?

01:04:57In my past

01:04:57life,

01:04:57Adrian Montag

01:04:58was promoted

01:04:58by the Empress

01:04:59Erwager

01:04:59during the

01:05:00Spring Blossom

01:05:00Banquet.

01:05:01If I can

01:05:02escape this

01:05:03wretched place

01:05:03and find a way

01:05:05to bring

01:05:05Adrian to the

01:05:06Spring Blossom

01:05:06Banquet,

01:05:07I can surely

01:05:08turn things

01:05:09around.

01:05:14What a wretched

01:05:15place!

01:05:16They expect

01:05:16me,

01:05:17a lady,

01:05:17to wash

01:05:17my clothes

01:05:18myself?

01:05:21Where did

01:05:22this lowly

01:05:22maid come

01:05:23from?

01:05:23I...

01:05:24Lady,

01:05:27I have

01:05:27an urgent

01:05:28request.

01:05:29When?

01:05:30I help you?

01:05:31I am

01:05:32of noble

01:05:32birth.

01:05:33Were it not

01:05:33for this

01:05:34temporary misfortune,

01:05:35you wouldn't

01:05:36even be

01:05:37worthy to

01:05:37speak to me.

01:05:40My

01:05:41elder sister

01:05:41Evelyn Sterling

01:05:42is the reason

01:05:43I was in

01:05:43prison here!

01:05:57The banquet

01:05:58itinerary

01:05:58is clear

01:05:59and well

01:05:59structured.

01:06:00It is

01:06:00evident

01:06:00that much

01:06:01effort

01:06:01was put

01:06:02into it.

01:06:02Entrusting

01:06:03you at

01:06:03the banquet's

01:06:03organization

01:06:04was indeed

01:06:04a wide

01:06:05choice.

01:06:06Many

01:06:06thanks for

01:06:06your majesty's

01:06:55temperament,

01:06:56staying in

01:06:56the office

01:07:57I don't get

01:07:58a say in

01:07:58this.

01:08:30got me thrown

01:08:46Edmund,

01:08:47let me

01:08:48please.

01:08:49This is

01:08:50crazy.

01:08:51You don't

01:08:56get to

01:08:56complain.

01:08:57If it

01:08:58weren't for

01:08:58you and

01:08:58Josephine,

01:08:59two fools,

01:09:00I wouldn't

01:09:00have offended

01:09:01his majesty

01:09:02and lost

01:09:02my position.

01:09:04It's all

01:09:05Josephine's

01:09:06fault.

01:09:08Husband!

01:09:10Why are

01:09:10you back?

01:09:13The Empress

01:09:14Dowager

01:09:14pardoned me.

01:09:15I'm released

01:09:16from office

01:09:17After

01:09:18everything you

01:09:19through,

01:09:20you still

01:09:20have the

01:09:20guts to

01:09:22Edmund,

01:09:23it's all

01:09:23because

01:09:24Evelyn.

01:09:25Instead of

01:09:26blaming each

01:09:26other here,

01:09:27you should

01:09:27think how

01:09:28to get

01:09:28back at

01:09:29her.

01:09:30Get back

01:09:31at her?

01:09:32She's like

01:09:32royalty now.

01:09:34How to

01:09:34get back

01:09:36I saw

01:09:37her once

01:09:38at the

01:09:39She was

01:09:40wearing the

01:09:41lonely palace

01:09:41mace uniform.

01:09:43I don't

01:09:43think she's

01:09:44royal.

01:09:45A palace

01:09:45mace?

01:09:47Could it

01:09:48be that

01:09:48his majesty

01:09:49married her

01:09:50on a whim?

01:09:50Totally.

01:09:51If his majesty

01:09:52really liked her,

01:09:53why would she

01:09:53be wearing

01:09:54that uniform?
