Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Lady Evelyn Sterling from the Montagues, a woman of virtue, diligent and gentle, hereby
00:00:05bestow the title of first-ranked Lady of Honor by Imperial Decree.
00:00:10We humbly thank His Majesty for His grace.
00:00:21Murder!
00:00:22Murder!
00:00:23Duh!
00:00:24Someone's been killed!
00:00:26Murder!
00:00:27Murder!
00:00:28Murder!
00:00:40Sister...
00:00:41Why...
00:00:43Don't call me Sister!
00:00:44You are unworthy!
00:00:45We are both daughters of the Sterling family!
00:00:47Why should you live better than me!!!
00:00:49If only Adrian Montag caught my bridle universals three years ago?
00:00:56This little recovery is nothing but an illusion. If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all 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 screamed 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?
00:03:24You are truly fortunate. As your sister, I am happy for you.
00:03:29Evelyn, Lady Luck is with me this time. In this life, I will never let you overshadow me again.
00:03:36That is...
00:03:42Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:03:46Master, if the Empress tower you find, you're dressed like this.
00:03:51Mother's been always pressing me. I can only leave the palace for some peace.
00:03:55This is a perfect chance, to experience the life of ordinary folk.
00:03:59Hurry, hurry, hurry! Let's have a look!
00:04:04In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal bull. I had to run away and then suffer a lot.
00:04:10This time, I shall let you taste the pain of being abandoned by your own kin.
00:04:16Master, our family has now secured ties with the Montagues.
00:04:20Evelyn, now it's your turn. And you better aim as small as Josephine.
00:04:25Mother, how could you say such a thing?
00:04:27Sister 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.
00:04:40Powerful 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.
00:05:08That Josephine ran away from.
00:05:11Oh, oh no. It actually went to a beggar.
00:05:15Sister, what terrible luck you have. A beggar out of so many people down there. How do you expect father to hold his head high?
00:05:23Damn it! With so many people down there, how could you cast it to a beggar? Are you deliberately trying to shame me?
00:05:31What's done is done, sister. Do not be too upset.
00:05:34Though he is of lowly birth, but look, at least he got a pretty face.
00:05:38It is only a pity for you, sister, raising comfort and luxury. But now bound to a beggar, you shall have to labor yourself to earn your bread.
00:05:48Now this will be quite the spectacle. The esteemed Lady Evelyn will marry a beggar? Everyone is watching. If she refuses, it's going to ruin their credit. Who would associate with them more?
00:05:57Hey! Hey! 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.
00:06:17Sister, why are you running? You cast the bridal bull yourself!
00:06:21You damn girl! Look at the filthy beggar you've got!
00:06:25If 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.
00:06:38Thinking back now, perhaps marrying a beggar would be better fate.
00:06:42The rule of the bridal ball is binding. Since he caught the ball, you should...
00:06:48I am willing to marry him!
00:06:49What?!
00:06:50My name is Evelyn Sterling. What's yours?
00:07:03I am Lu... Lucas Prescott.
00:07:06With all present as my witnesses today. I, Evelyn Sterling. Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband.
00:07:19Are you serious?
00:07:25Yeah. The ball is in your hands. You wanna... reject me.
00:07:33I didn't. It's just that I'm poor as hell. Marrying me would mean a life of a certainty. Are you sure?
00:07:40We're not disabled or something. We may be poor now, but we can always earn our money. We can work hard to make a living ourselves.
00:07:53I've never seen someone so easily content.
00:07:57He's just a filthy beggar! You're really gonna marry him?
00:08:01Evelyn, you're sure about this? Marry this beggar and your future is ruined!
00:08:08I do not believe that is true. Future won't be decided like that.
00:08:12Lucas, he may be in rags now, but I can see his humility and good manner. He's gonna make a difference maybe.
00:08:19You are... Rule is rule. You're not eating your words, are you sir?
00:08:25Indeed. If he refuses, that's breaking the rules and gonna ruin their reputation. Seems well, she has to marry him.
00:08:32Indeed marry him! Indeed marry him!
00:08:35Since you wanna marry him, don't blame us in the future. You won't get a share of the coming glory of us.
00:08:43I understand.
00:08:44The matchmaking is concluded. Everyone disperse.
00:08:47Sister, no hard feelings, but marrying a beggar means you will spend your life beneath me.
00:09:01You should worry about yourself. Life with the Monticeous is not as easy as you imagine.
00:09:07Hmph!
00:09:15You...
00:09:20In three days, remember to come to propose.
00:09:23It's her or mother's pressing. So I might as well...
00:09:27Alright! I'll be there.
00:09:28I'll be there.
00:09:33Today, the second daughter of the Sarlene family is to be wed. Her dowry includes a pair of gold Phoenix hairpins laid with precious gems,
00:09:41plenty of boats of fine brocade, three land deeds for silk shops in the Eastern District.
00:09:47Lady Josephine Sterling's salary is worth a fortune, yet Lady Evelyn Sterling has nothing at all.
00:09:52They're both daughters of the 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.
00:10:31My respects to my honor, father and mother-in-law.
00:10:34Please rise, my son-in-law.
00:10:35My son-in-law.
00:10:36Such an elaborate wedding procession is a spectacle worthy of Highgate.
00:10:41For 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?
00:10:56I, 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? Dressed 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, are you not bringing shame upon me?
00:11:33Today is your wedding day, and yet you came dressed like this? Do you not find this is a disgrace? Do you not finding this humiliating?
00:11:42Marriage is a lifelong commitment, building upon sincerity, not mere appearances. The men I, Evelyn Sterling, have chosen, 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. From the moment Evelyn steps beyond this threshold, she'll no longer be a Sterling.
00:12:02The auspicious hour has arrived! Bring the bride to the carriage!
00:12:05This is the...
00:12:14Congratulations, Master Sterling. Your son-in-law is truly an exceptional man.
00:12:21Many thanks, Deputy Minister. Please come inside.
00:12:26Off to you.
00:12:27Surely you didn't arrive on foot today. On 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 they've found us to live in?
00:13:12Mm-mm. Bow 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.
00:13:24Mm-mm.
00:13:25And bow to each other as husband and wife.
00:13:27The ceremony is complete!
00:13:38My lady, I have put you through hardship, having a life with me in such a shabby place.
00:13:43Not at all. I actually think it's rather spacious. At least, it shields us from the wind and rain.
00:13:50If we work hard from now on, keep this place tidy, he'll soon feel much more comfortable.
00:13:57At this moment, I have nothing of value to give you.
00:14:00This shade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:14:04I've carried it with me all these years.
00:14:06And now, I'm giving it to you.
00:14:10It's so precious. Are you certain of it?
00:14:17Alright. I will cherish it well.
00:14:22I will cherish it well.
00:14:46You're up! Breakfast is ready! For you!
00:14:50For you.
00:14:54Hey.
00:14:55Where are you going?
00:14:57Today is the wife's homecoming day.
00:14:59I made telemeds for my parents, but they're not quite finished.
00:15:02I need to buy some more threats and complete them before I return home.
00:15:05Alright. I'll go with you.
00:15:07Alright.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:14Greetings, your ma-
00:15:15Greetings, your majesty!
00:15:20Greetings, your majesty!
00:15:26Who are they?
00:15:27The palace is too complicated.
00:15:29Once everything's settled, I'll reveal my identity to Evelyn.
00:15:32They are...
00:15:33They're here for Victor.
00:15:41Yes, yes. I used to serve in the palace.
00:15:44These are all old acquaintances.
00:15:45Evelyn, I'll help Victor to entertain the guests.
00:15:51Will you be alright buying threat on your own?
00:15:55Yes.
00:15:55Speak!
00:16:09What happened?
00:16:10The Empress Dowager distressed over your majesty's presence and suddenly collapsed.
00:16:13What?
00:16:14Victor, stay here and protect Evelyn.
00:16:16Let's head back.
00:16:17Yes, your majesty.
00:16:18Get someone to deliver some valuable gifts to Sterling Estate.
00:16:22Say that they're Evelyn's homecoming gifts.
00:16:24Yes, your majesty.
00:16:25Let's go.
00:16:26Father!
00:16:27Mother!
00:16:28Your daughter has returned!
00:16:31Father!
00:16:33Why has sister returned alone?
00:16:39Today is your homecoming day.
00:16:42Sister, why have you returned alone?
00:16:44Are you ashamed of your beggar husband?
00:16:47So 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 Sterling must have suffered a great deal.
00:16:58You look much frailer than before.
00:16:59Had you not married that filthy beggar, perhaps I would have taken you as a concubine.
00:17:06At least you wouldn't have fallen to such a state.
00:17:08That will not be necessary.
00:17:10I am living well.
00:17:11As of for you, sister, it has been quite a few days since you had seen your husband before.
00:17:16You...
00:17:16Screw you, Adrian.
00:17:19Went drinking with corsets on our wedding night, and now everyone knows we are utterly humiliating me.
00:17:25Josephine.
00:17:26Father, mother.
00:17:32Greetings to you both.
00:17:34Greetings to you both.
00:17:36You've returned alone.
00:17:37How can you still have the face to come back?
00:17:39What does your husband do all day?
00:17:41Not even accompanying you for your homecoming.
00:17:44Mother, you're thinking too highly of her.
00:17:47That filthy beggar is probably begging in the streets right now.
00:17:51How could he possibly compare to my husband?
00:17:55Father-in-law, your humble son-in-law has brought a small gift.
00:18:02Our dear Josephine has truly found herself a fine husband.
00:18:07For our daughter to marry such a fine gentleman, it must be the blessing she has earned over eight lifetimes.
00:18:12Unlike someone who chose a beggar as her husband, our Sterling family has raised you for so many years,
00:18:19and yet you come back empty-handed on your homecoming day.
00:18:23Indeed, sister.
00:18:25This is my homecoming gift.
00:18:27Have you fallen into such poverty that you cannot even afford a proper homecoming gift?
00:18:38Father.
00:18:40Mother.
00:18:40These are the two protective telemins I made for you by hand.
00:18:43A blessing to you both.
00:18:44Wishing you peace and prosperity.
00:18:46Oh!
00:18:47Oh!
00:18:49Get out!
00:18:51What a disgrace!
00:18:53Sister, is this truly what you've brought?
00:18:56A few scraps of cloth with embroidery.
00:18:59How dare you present these?
00:19:01Well, she did marry a beggar.
00:19:03So her gift befits her status perfectly.
00:19:06Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:19:07Oh, right.
00:19:08She has married a beggar.
00:19:10What else could we expect from her?
00:19:12Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:19:13Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:19:15Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:19:16Master, madam, someone from the palace has arrived with gifts.
00:19:21They say they are the homecoming gifts from Lady Evelyn.
00:19:27Master Sterling, who exactly has your eldest daughter married a mountain nobility?
00:19:31Even the palace saw fit to have me personally deliver these gifts to you.
00:19:34You must hold great influence, indeed.
00:19:35Thiefs from the palace?
00:19:37Then it must be from his majesty himself.
00:19:39It was personally arranged by the chief eunuch at his majesty's side.
00:19:42He said, for the Sterling family's eldest daughter.
00:19:48Oh, Mr. Ashford, you must be mistaken.
00:19:54All of Highgate knows that Evelyn married a beggar.
00:19:58How could she possibly have ties to anyone in the palace?
00:20:02Oh, this must surely be a courtesy to young Master Montague.
00:20:08Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:20:10Indeed.
00:20:11In this world, those seeking favor with the Montague family are countless.
00:20:15Even those in the palace are paying their respects.
00:20:18Father-in-law, please accept with joy.
00:20:20Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:20:22Josephine has married a remarkable husband.
00:20:25Just look at the grandeur of her homecoming.
00:20:27Such lavish gifts!
00:20:29Our Sterling family is truly honored beyond measure!
00:20:32Ha ha ha ha!
00:20:33The gifts have been delivered.
00:20:35I shall take my leave.
00:20:37Oh, take care!
00:20:38Take care!
00:20:39Sister, my husband has prepared two sets of homecoming gifts, seeing all these.
00:20:46Do you not feel ashamed?
00:20:48It's not about the quality of gifts, but the sincerity behind them.
00:20:51I see nothing inappropriate in this.
00:20:53I've poured my heart and effort into raising you, and yet, not only did you marry a beggar,
00:20:58but you even bring back these worthless rags to disgrace me!
00:21:00The Sterling family has no place for such a disgraceful daughter!
00:21:03Simply because I married Lucas, you feel justified to humiliate me like this.
00:21:09Josephine acts in the best interest of the Sterling family, unlike you, who married a beggar,
00:21:14bringing disgrace upon us all!
00:21:17Disgrace?
00:21:19It's only because Josephine married into wealth that you so readily indulge her.
00:21:24Insolent child!
00:21:25Such outrageous defiance!
00:21:26Who has put these ideas in your head?
00:21:28Is it not the truth?
00:21:31In your eyes, a daughter is nothing more than a pawn to secure power and favor.
00:21:37Outrageous!
00:21:38How dare you speak to your father in such a manner!
00:21:45A dragon chain pendant?
00:21:49Outrageous!
00:21:51And, no, I must inform his majesty.
00:21:55Give it back to me!
00:21:56This jade pendant looks of fine quality.
00:22:01From where did you steal it, sister?
00:22:04That is from Lucas.
00:22:05Give it back!
00:22:08That wretched beggar?
00:22:09He will never possess such a fine pendant.
00:22:12He must have stolen it from somewhere.
00:22:15Would right have you to make such rash accusations.
00:22:17Lucas may not be of noble birth like you,
00:22:19but you believe that possessing a jade pendant is a rightful due.
00:22:22Yet Lucas is not worthy of the same.
00:22:23A worthless beggar's gift, and you treat it like a treasure.
00:22:26How ignorant.
00:22:28You won the pendant?
00:22:29Very well.
00:22:30But you must sever all ties with the Sterlings.
00:22:34You...
00:22:35Father, will you truly indulge Josephine's audacity?
00:22:43Am I not also your daughter?
00:22:45You insisted on marrying a beggar.
00:22:48Bringing shame upon the Sterling family, you are unworthy to be my daughter.
00:22:52On this day forth, I have only one daughter, Josephine!
00:22:55For the rest of my life, I seek only to be with the one who is true of heart.
00:23:07Even if I must live on plain fare, it is better than enduring cold disdain in the Sterlings.
00:23:13Since that is the case...
00:23:14Hi, Evelyn Sterling.
00:23:25Severe all ties with the Sterling family.
00:23:28We are here and forth, strangers.
00:23:31All for the sake of a worthless beggar.
00:23:43You would sever ties with us?
00:23:45It is fortunate we never placed our hopes in you.
00:23:48Is that not what Father has always thought of?
00:23:53Why should I remain here only to be an eyesore to him?
00:23:58Hold it.
00:24:00Now that you wish to leave, I fear it is too late.
00:24:03Guards!
00:24:04Bring the burning charcoal from the kitchen!
00:24:07Scattering them across the board!
00:24:09What are you trying to do?
00:24:12Your Majesty, something here of course happened.
00:24:14Lady Evelyn was humiliated at the Sterling estate.
00:24:18One's body and soul are bestowed by One's parents.
00:24:25If you wish to sever ties, you must first repay your parents' kindness.
00:24:30My Lady speaks most reasonably.
00:24:32Given your current state, it would be far too much to expect that you present anything of great value.
00:24:37Then you have no choice but to walk barefoot across this bed of burning charcoal.
00:24:43It is pleasing so fiercely.
00:24:45How could anyone survive walking across them?
00:24:47I will not walk.
00:24:50Oh?
00:24:51It seems, dear sister, that you no longer want this jade pendant.
00:24:57Stop!
00:25:00Lucas is the only one who has ever treated me well.
00:25:04This jade pendant was left to him by his parents.
00:25:06Farewell.
00:25:07I will never allow his heartfelt gift to be trampled a couple.
00:25:10I will walk.
00:25:11For the sake of a filthy beggar, you would go to such lengths?
00:25:34You must have lost your mind.
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.
00:25:46After all, what does a beggar have to his name but worthless trinkets?
00:25:50This jade pendant is likely his most treasured possession.
00:25:54No wonder dear sister cherishes it so.
00:25:57The jade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:26:01I've carried it with me all these years.
00:26:04And now, I'm giving it to you.
00:26:14For me, my lady.
00:26:15Lucas, do not worry.
00:26:20I will reclaim the jade pendant.
00:26:33Can you return the jade pendant to me now?
00:26:38You want it?
00:26:41Then crawl over and take it.
00:26:43As long as you crawl over, this jade pendant will be yours.
00:27:02The jade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:27:05I've carried it with me all these years.
00:27:07And now, I'm giving it to you.
00:27:10All right.
00:27:13I will cherish it, Will.
00:27:15You claim to cherish your love for that filthy beggar.
00:27:43But if you were disfigured, would your dearest husband still want you?
00:27:50Why are you looking at me like that?
00:27:53I have long told you the fate of a woman who wets a beggar can only be one to be trampled upon at will.
00:28:00You exhaust yourself trying to torment me.
00:28:02But do you truly believe you're getting your way?
00:28:06I want you to spend the rest of your days wallowing in the gutter, watching as I rise to become the most esteemed woman in the world.
00:28:15Who dares to lay a hand on my woman?
00:28:34I'm sorry.
00:28:39I'm late.
00:28:42Just leave.
00:28:43Lucas.
00:28:45I didn't lose your jade pendant.
00:28:47Did they say it was his majesty?
00:28:54How could it be him?
00:28:55That beggar is dressed in such luxurious robes.
00:28:58And those men, are they the imperial guards?
00:29:01Why would they take orders from a beggar?
00:29:02I heard that filthy beggar's brother once served in the palace.
00:29:05Is it natural for him to procure some robes?
00:29:07That wretched beggar has suffered humiliation last time, and now he has come to regain his dignity?
00:29:12Ha! What a joke! A mere beggar, daring to put on an act in the sterling estate?
00:29:17Look at the fine husband you've chosen.
00:29:19Useless is one thing, but to be so audacious?
00:29:22As to steal from the imperial palace?
00:29:24If his majesty were to find out, do you really believe you will be spared?
00:29:27Deviant fools. You're doomed!
00:29:32You! What do you think you're doing?
00:29:34Avalyn, come with me.
00:29:36Avalyn, what's wrong?
00:29:42Who did this?
00:29:49Lucas!
00:29:57Yes, it was me! So what?
00:29:58I was only trying to help my dear sister.
00:30:00Who would have thought she would walk barefoot across the burning charcoal?
00:30:04I wonder what she was thinking?
00:30:06Such a fool!
00:30:06Silence!
00:30:07And who do you think you are to dare raise your voice before me?
00:30:11Yes, I'm insulting her, because she married a worthless man.
00:30:15I am a noble lady with the Montag family.
00:30:17You are nothing but insects beneath my feet.
00:30:20Even if I were to kill you here and now, you ought to kneel and sack me for it.
00:30:23Let's see how much longer you can keep up this charade.
00:30:26Guard! Seize this filthy beggar, Neville and Sterling!
00:30:29Wait.
00:30:33How dare you humiliate my lady!
00:30:37Seize them!
00:30:38Seize them!
00:30:39How dare you!
00:30:43I'm Lady Joseph of the Montag!
00:30:47Husband, save me!
00:30:48You filthy beggar!
00:30:49Guards!
00:30:49Whoever kills him for me, I shall reward him with ten tails of gold.
00:30:56Insolent, wretch!
00:30:57Lord Montague is of royal lineage!
00:30:59If you dare lay a hand on him, you shall make an enemy of the entire Montague family!
00:31:03And what of it? Anyone who dares to harm my lady shall only have one face, death!
00:31:11You filthy beggar, you're taking this act too far!
00:31:14Before I lose my temper, release me at once! I might disappear your life!
00:31:18You've tortured Evelyn to such wretched state!
00:31:21Press their faces!
00:31:23Straight into the burning charcoal!
00:31:27No!
00:31:28Oh!
00:31:29No!
00:31:30No!
00:31:30What are you doing?
00:31:31No!
00:31:32Stop!
00:31:32Once the judicial court arrives, you are doomed!
00:31:34All right, my brother is an official of the Imperial Court! Do you really think you'll walk away alive?
00:31:42I'd like to see if the judicial court would tolerate this!
00:31:47Carry on!
00:31:49Help!
00:31:50No! Help!
00:31:50No!
00:31:51Excuse me!
00:31:52You wretched fool!
00:31:53If you wish to die, don't drag your Stoney family down with you!
00:31:57No!
00:31:58Stop!
00:31:59Brother!
00:32:00Brother, save me!
00:32:04Who is harming my brother?
00:32:17The Imperial Secret Guards, why are they here?
00:32:20Yes, I summoned them!
00:32:23That voice, could it be?
00:32:26Your Majesty!
00:32:28Your Majesty!
00:32:30The Emperor!
00:32:34How could this filthy beggar...
00:32:36Brother, don'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!
00:32:55Look at the fine husband you've chosen!
00:32:58You've offended Lord Mottakue!
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 was this position of Lord Justice Deputy?
00:33:26Yours to assume!
00:33:28You 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?
00:33:46Please 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 last Dowager 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 Dowager?
00:34:04Are you trying to get yourself killed?
00:34:05Lord Montague!
00:34:06Please 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!
00:34:14That'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 and the Royalty 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...
00:34:33I can't let Lucas break up your arm!
00:34:34Spare us, my lord!
00:34:36He didn't mean to offend...
00:34:38Evelyn!
00:34:44Evelyn!
00:34:45Let's go!
00:34:46How dare you!
00:34:47Trying to run?
00:34:48Guards!
00:34:48Stop them!
00:34:49Whoever dares to block us again, kill without mercy!
00:34:52Yes, sir!
00:34:56Trying to escape?
00:34:58It's not that easy!
00:35:01Oh!
00:35:04Lucas!
00:35:09Lucas!
00:35:10Lucas!
00:35:11Josephine 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...
00:35:42Why won't you just let me go?
00:35:46I have to admit...
00:35:48Sister, you're truly fortunate.
00:35:50Evelyn marrying a beggar, you still found true love.
00:35:52What 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.
00:36:06Let Lucas go, please.
00:36:08Evelyn, 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!
00:36:29I will 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?
00:36:47Evelyn!
00:36:47Evelyn!
00:36:48Imperial physician!
00:36:50Call the Imperial physician quickly!
00:36:51Your Majesty!
00:36:52Victor Langley, I ordered her to immediately send her back for treatment.
00:36:56If anything happens to her, I'll make sure you pay!
00:36:58Your servitor, Bakes!
00:36:59Come, come, come!
00:37:00Hurry!
00:37:03Your Majesty, all members of the Starling family have been arrested.
00:37:07Your Majesty?
00:37:08Your...
00:37:09Your Majesty?
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 and his family are executed on the spot!
00:37:20Master!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:25Admin Montague, as an official of the court,
00:37:27you abused your power and aided evil from this day forth.
00:37:30You are stripped of your duty,
00:37:32imprisoned along the Montague in 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, to revoke the order!
00:37:41It was my fault!
00:37:44I failed to see the truth, Your Majesty!
00:37:47When you humiliated Evelyn back then,
00:37:49did you ever think this day would come?
00:37:51Impossible!
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 of the Sterling family.
00:38:02Empress Dowager, please,
00:38:03for the sake of my father's honor,
00:38:05spare me once!
00:38:06I beg, Your Majesty,
00:38:08and Empress Dowager for mercy!
00:38:09Please have mercy, Empress Dowager!
00:38:11Have mercy, Empress Dowager!
00:38:13My son,
00:38:14although the two unfilial sons of the Montague family are foolish,
00:38:17they were not the masterminds.
00:38:19They should be punished later.
00:38:20The Sterling family is a household of commoners.
00:38:23To execute them all is indeed lacking consideration for the women.
00:38:27I saw that woman was badly injured, my son.
00:38:30You should go tend to her quickly.
00:38:49Lucas, are you all right?
00:38:51Are you all right?
00:38:52Did you get hurt?
00:38:53I'm fine.
00:38:54Lie down quickly.
00:38:54The Imperious Physician said you have to lie down.
00:38:57Come on.
00:38:58Imperial Physician?
00:39:01What is going on?
00:39:03Why are we in the palace?
00:39:05What exactly happened?
00:39:08It was the Empress Dowager who saved us.
00:39:10The Empress Dowager?
00:39:12You want to make Evelyn Sterling your Empress?
00:39:16I absolutely do not approve.
00:39:18I pledge myself to Evelyn for life in private.
00:39:22Whether you approve or not,
00:39:23I will overcome all obstacles to make Evelyn my Empress.
00:39:26You!
00:39:29If you truly wish to make her Empress,
00:39:31she must pass my test.
00:39:33But...
00:39:35But...
00:39:36But...
00:39:37Before that,
00:39:39you must not let her know your identity.
00:39:42Otherwise,
00:39:43I have plenty of ways to stop you.
00:39:48She left the palace to pray.
00:39:50Just happened to walk by the Sterling State.
00:39:52That's how she saved us.
00:39:57Then...
00:39:57What about my father and the others?
00:40:00The Empress Dowager gave the order to have them all beat in 50 strikes each.
00:40:03Adrian Montague frequented the pleasure districts.
00:40:05His body couldn't take it and he fainted.
00:40:07The Empress Dowager ordered him to be put in confinement
00:40:09and your sister was also sent to the Office of Discipline to do hard labor.
00:40:13And for your father and the others,
00:40:15they were exiled.
00:40:17Exiled?
00:40:19Evelyn.
00:40:21From now on,
00:40:22I will protect you.
00:40:25I asked the Empress Dowager for a position
00:40:27and assigned you to the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:40:30From now on,
00:40:30the two of us will be working in the palace.
00:40:33That's wonderful.
00:40:36When the time comes,
00:40:37we may work in the palace for three to five years.
00:40:40Then we can leave together
00:40:41and live a simple life.
00:40:43Okay.
00:40:50Evelyn.
00:40:51I hope
00:40:52you can forgive me.
00:40:53When I have some free time,
00:41:00I'll come to see you.
00:41:02All right.
00:41:05Greetings.
00:41:05Ma'am Langston.
00:41:19This one here is 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, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:28This one here is the 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 of Miss Evelyn.
00:41:40I definitely won't let her do heavy work.
00:41:43Lucas,
00:41:48I came here to work, right?
00:41:51Why does it feel like
00:41:52I'm being treated like a mistress?
00:41:58She...
00:41:58Maybe she's a nice person.
00:42:08Miss Evelyn,
00:42:09please come with me.
00:42:11Go ahead.
00:42:27You!
00:42:28Clean 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 bowl.
00:42:40Some people must have
00:42:41used certain means
00:42:42to land a post here
00:42:43and somehow even earned
00:42:44Ma'am Langston's favor.
00:42:45She got all the Yeezy's work
00:42:46assigned to you.
00:42:53Hey!
00:42:54Give it back to me!
00:43:07The Dragon Jade Pendant?
00:43:09There's something
00:43:09only His Majesty can wear.
00:43:11Hurry in and form
00:43:11Madam Langston.
00:43:12Someone is stealing.
00:43:14Oh, Majesty.
00:43:15Give it back to me
00:43:16right now.
00:43:16What are you waiting for?
00:43:32Grab her!
00:43:34Everyone, stop right there!
00:43:35Your Grace.
00:43:43The Imperial Household Bureau
00:43:44is such a crude place.
00:43:46You have never come here before.
00:43:47It might harm
00:43:48your noble health.
00:43:49Allow me to announce
00:43:50your arrival.
00:43:51No need.
00:43:52This time,
00:43:53I am disguised
00:43:53as a Bureau Matron
00:43:54because I want to truly know
00:43:56Evelyn Sterling.
00:43:57She must never learn
00:43:59of my identity.
00:44:00Palace 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 for?
00:44:16Ma'am,
00:44:17she stole
00:44:17His Majesty's
00:44:18Jade Pendant.
00:44:21The one thing
00:44:21most forbidden
00:44:22in the harm
00:44:23is Eve.
00:44:23She feared being exposed
00:44:24and even tried
00:44:25to harm me.
00:44:26Ma'am,
00:44:27you must punish
00:44:28her properly.
00:44:28Ma'am,
00:44:30Lingston,
00:44:30please let me explain.
00:44:32This isn't what happened.
00:44:33Enough.
00:44:34Hand over
00:44:35the Jade Pendant.
00:44:39The pendant
00:44:40belongs to me.
00:44:43I said
00:44:44hand over
00:44:45the Jade Pendant.
00:44:58The Dragon
00:45:01Jade Pendant.
00:45:02It truly
00:45:02belongs to
00:45:03His Majesty.
00:45:04The Dragon
00:45:05Jade Pendant.
00:45:06It truly
00:45:06belongs to
00:45:07His Majesty.
00:45:08The Emperor
00:45:09even gave her
00:45:10something this
00:45:10important?
00:45:11She even
00:45:12dares to steal
00:45:13His Majesty's
00:45:13Pendant.
00:45:14In the future,
00:45:15who knows what
00:45:15outrageous things
00:45:16she might do.
00:45:17Palace rules
00:45:18are very clear.
00:45:19Anyone caught
00:45:20stealing goods
00:45:20worth more than
00:45:21one dollar
00:45:21will have
00:45:22their left foot
00:45:22cut 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
00:45:28me by someone
00:45:28very dear to
00:45:29me.
00:45:30It was
00:45:30definitely not
00:45:31stolen.
00:45:32I truly don't
00:45:32know how
00:45:33it could
00:45:33belong to
00:45:33His Majesty.
00:45:34We confirm
00:45:35the pendant
00:45:35belongs to
00:45:36my son.
00:45:37Wouldn't that
00:45:37expose us
00:45:38to your identity?
00:45:39No.
00:45:40We can't
00:45:40rely on the
00:45:41object to
00:45:41prove there
00:45:42was theft
00:45:42involved.
00:45:43I'll thoroughly
00:45:44investigate this
00:45:45matter until
00:45:45the truth
00:45:46is found.
00:45:47The pendant
00:45:47will remain
00:45:48with me.
00:45:48If you are
00:45:49truly innocent,
00:45:50I will make
00:45:50things right
00:45:51for you.
00:45:52Thank you,
00:45:53Ma'am.
00:45:54This is the
00:45:54new steward,
00:45:55Madam
00:45:56Williams.
00:45:56From now
00:45:57on,
00:45:57she will
00:45:57work with
00:45:58me to
00:45:58manage
00:45:59the Bureau.
00:45:59All of
00:46:00you,
00:46:00behave
00:46:00yourselves.
00:46:01Anyone
00:46:01who tries
00:46:02to be
00:46:02sneaky
00:46:02or lazy
00:46:03will be
00:46:04punished
00:46:04according
00:46:04to
00:46:04palace
00:46:05rules.
00:46:06Yes,
00:46:06ma'am.
00:46:11Your
00:46:12bullying of
00:46:12your colleague
00:46:13has not
00:46:13been settled
00:46:14yet.
00:46:14You are
00:46:14to clean
00:46:15toilet bowl
00:46:15as punishment.
00:46:16You may
00:46:16eat only
00:46:17when you
00:46:17finish.
00:46:21Yes,
00:46:21ma'am.
00:46:25Oh,
00:46:40isn't this
00:46:41much
00:46:41better?
00:46:41Your majesty, Miss Caldwell has come to the palace again today. Do you wish to see her?
00:46:55No. Tell her to go back where she came from.
00:46:58This...
00:46:59You. Go back. I'm going to see Avalyn. If you follow me, you'll expose my identity.
00:47:05Out of the way.
00:47:09Avalyn. Avalyn.
00:47:11Lucas. Why are you here?
00:47:19How can Madam Langston let you do this kind of work? I'll go speak with her. I'll go speak with her.
00:47:26Lucas.
00:47:28It's just cleaning a toilet bowl is not a big deal.
00:47:32Avalyn.
00:47:36I...
00:47:36I'm sorry you had to endure this. I promise I'll find a way to get you out of here as soon as possible.
00:47:49By the way, the jade pendant of yours, what's the story behind it? Why is it that they keep saying that the pendant belongs to his majesty?
00:47:59Uh, my father... My father once won first place in the Imperial exam. To encourage outstanding scholars, his majesty rewarded him with the jade pendant. This is how it came into our hands.
00:48:08Oh, I see. All they say is his majesty, his majesty. I thought maybe you were lying to me.
00:48:18Who's there?
00:48:19It's Madam Willems. Hurry up, go. Don't let her see you.
00:48:25Tomorrow. I'll come to see you tomorrow again.
00:48:35Madam.
00:48:35Madam.
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.
00:48:47Finally done with everything.
00:49:02Why are you throwing my things?
00:49:04Madam Williams gave orders herself.
00:49:06She said at first light tomorrow, you're to deliver her medicine.
00:49:08Ma'am said the medicine must be boiled with morning dew.
00:49:12Tonight, you should wait outside.
00:49:13Morning dew.
00:49:16Morning dew.
00:49:18Everyone heard it. I'm not making it up.
00:49:20Why is Madam Williams always picking on me?
00:49:23Madam Williams 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. You should be grateful.
00:49:30The pendant wasn't stolen at all. Stop falsely accusing me.
00:49:33Not stolen? Are you saying his majesty gave it to you himself?
00:49:35The night air is damped with dew. I'm going inside to get my own blanket. Is that not allowed?
00:49:50What arrogance?
00:49:51This is the Imperial Palace. There's no such thing as yours or mine.
00:49:54Don't think that's just because Malin lost or you can do whatever you want.
00:49:58Who said you could come in?
00:50:00Move aside.
00:50:00Avalyn!
00:50:08Avalyn!
00:50:11Avalyn!
00:50:12Are you alright?
00:50:14Who did this?
00:50:16Victor Langley, why is he here?
00:50:18Could it be that he is...
00:50:20You want to die?
00:50:21Your majesty!
00:50:29You're the emperor.
00:50:32You're his majesty.
00:50:35Insolent servant!
00:50:39You must never let her discover your true identity.
00:50:42No!
00:50:43No!
00:50:44No!
00:50:44No!
00:50:44No!
00:50:44No!
00:50:44No!
00:50:45No!
00:50:45No!
00:50:45No!
00:50:45No!
00:50:46No!
00:50:46No!
00:50:46No!
00:50:46No!
00:50:46No!
00:50:47No!
00:50:47No!
00:50:48No!
00:50:48No!
00:50:49No!
00:50:50No!
00:50:50No!
00:50:51No!
00:50:51No!
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, what is going on here?
00:51:09Oh, this young guy in here, he makes a strike in resemblance to his majesty.
00:51:14I specifically brought him to the palace to interrogate him.
00:51:16I, you, the new one, I'm going to be so ignorant of the rules, don't you know she'll behave yourself here?
00:51:22I humbly apologize.
00:51:24I acknowledge my error.
00:51:26Madam Langston, I beg your pardon, it's entirely my fault for causing this young officer concern.
00:51:30If you understand your error, then leave at once.
00:51:32If you understand your error, then leave at once.
00:51:44As for you...
00:51:45Fraternizing with the guards is a grave matter, yet Madam Williams merely punished her with kneeling.
00:51:52The last time she stole a jade pendant, that incident was also swept under the rug.
00:51:56I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:51:58Tell me, if his majesty knew she had stolen his jade pendant, how do you think he would handle her?
00:52:14I shall inform his majesty at once, it 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!
00:52:23Ah, my face!
00:52:25Ah, my face!
00:52:29You foolish servant!
00:52:30What have you put in this bowl?
00:52:32I obtained the recipe from Atalus who claimed they could enhance one's beauty when consumed.
00:52:40I only wished to do what was best for Madam Williams, which is why I acted so foolishly.
00:52:44How dare you serve something of unknown origin to ma'am if this rash on her face does not fade?
00:52:51How will you atone for this?
00:52:52Madam!
00:52:54Guards, drag her away and sell her to a slave trader!
00:52:57Oh, Madam Williams, have mercy!
00:52:59Madam, have mercy, please!
00:53:00Madam!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:02Madam, have mercy!
00:53:04Madam!
00:53:06Madam!
00:53:09May I be permitted to try?
00:53:11You?
00:53:14You?
00:53:15I have studied medical texts and I can prepare herbal remedy that might alleviate the rash on your face.
00:53:24If...
00:53:24If my myths prove effective, I beg you, Madam, to spare Isabella's life.
00:53:32His Majesty has not paid me attention for a long time.
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 to capture His Majesty's interests so deeply?
00:53:55I don't know. I know nothing.
00:53:58Speak!
00:54:02I remember now. There is indeed someone who dares to do such a thing.
00:54:05It may not look appealing, but it is true that the rash has faded somewhat.
00:54:24It seems you do have some skill.
00:54:27Thank you for your praise, Madam.
00:54:29Adam, you need to only wait six more hours, and the rash will completely disappear.
00:54:35What are you trying to do now?
00:55:01If it weren't for you today, I might have already been taken away.
00:55:06As for what happened before, I owe you an apology.
00:55:09I will accept any punishment or scolding you see fit.
00:55:19Why would I start?
00:55:23So are you willing to forgive me?
00:55:25You're not entirely a bad person.
00:55:30It's just that your words can be utterly vicious.
00:55:42Let's go.
00:55:42I'll see you in a chestnut cake.
00:56:02It was her!
00:56:03It was you who seduced his majesty.
00:56:14With us stuck the face of yours.
00:56:19No wonder you can't stay out of trouble.
00:56:21His majesty's finding a bride outside the palace is not me.
00:56:24But when did your lowly servants dare to entertain such wicked thoughts?
00:56:29When did Evelyn ever seduce his majesty?
00:56:31Isabella, have you forgotten how much we suffered because of her?
00:56:34Evelyn never once provoked me intentionally.
00:56:35It was you who kept picking fights deliberately.
00:56:38Isabella, do you even know who I am?
00:56:43How dare you act so insolently in my presence?
00:56:46Caesar.
00:56:50Wait!
00:56:51The person standing before you is Lady Caldwell, daughter of Chancellor Caldwell.
00:56:55She's the one the Empress Dodgerager has chosen to be Empress.
00:56:59What a fool.
00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell is the esteemed daughter of the Chancellor, surely you are a reasonable person.
00:57:04We have never even met his majesty.
00:57:05So how could there be any talk of seduction?
00:57:07I beg you, Lady Caldwell, spare me.
00:57:10I heard from Eleanor that you not only seduced his majesty, but also entangled yourself with the guards.
00:57:15That face of yours is too dangerous to keep.
00:57:18I heard from you, Lady Caldwell, spare me, and I heard from you, Lady Caldwell.
00:57:48A mere old servant.
00:57:50There is to raise your voice in front of me?
00:57:52You!
00:57:52How dare you!
00:57:54His majesty and I grew up together.
00:57:56I am the only candidate for emphasis.
00:57:58The harm will be mine sooner or later.
00:58:00Dealing the lowly maid is nothing to me.
00:58:03Repopterous!
00:58:04Do you even know who stands before you?
00:58:07Aren't you just a lowborn servant?
00:58:10If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never learn your place.
00:58:14Restrainer as well.
00:58:16Eleanor, you wouldn't dare.
00:58:18I never expected you to be so venomous at heart.
00:58:26Her majesty truly misjudged you.
00:58:29You dare call yourself her majesty?
00:58:31Who are you taking yourself for?
00:58:32The Empress Dowager?
00:58:32A disfigured old wretch like you dare to use the title of the Empress Dowager.
00:58:42It seems you've grown tired of living.
00:58:44It seems you still refuse to admit your wrongdoing.
00:58:46What wrong have I done?
00:58:48You born into lowly status can only be servants 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, you have allowed your mage to reduce His Majesty.
00:59:08Such behaviors are a dangerous example.
00:59:10This is unforgivable.
00:59:11Fetch my way.
00:59:16The Spring Blossom Banquet will be held at the beginning of next month.
00:59:20This year, all the nobles and dignitaries will be in attendance.
00:59:23Everything must be prepared perfectly.
00:59:25Your majesty, rest assured.
00:59:27I will spare no effort in ensuring its success.
00:59:31You insolent servant.
00:59:33How dare you disturb His Majesty?
00:59:35His Majesty?
00:59:37His humble maid greets Your Majesty and beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling.
00:59:41What did you say?
00:59:42Evelyn's in danger.
00:59:46What are you doing?
01:00:09It was me who offended Lady Catwell, and I did not wish for him to suffer punishment on my account.
01:00:17Since you are so eager to play the hero, I shall grant your wish today.
01:00:21Enough!
01:00:22Anna Caldwell, Her Majesty advises you not to go too far, otherwise...
01:00:26You called yourself Her Majesty again?
01:00:28You 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 majesty...
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?
01:01:09Your Majesty...
01:01:10This humble subject commits her fault!
01:01:13I failed to recognize that you were the Empress Dowager!
01:01:15I beg Your Majesty for forgiveness!
01:01:17I beg the Emperor for mercy!
01:01:19The Emperor...
01:01:19This 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.
01:01:31How could you dare to offend the Empress Dowager?
01:01:41I admit your fault at once!
01:01:42But this humble subject commits my fault!
01:01:44Your Majesty!
01:01:45It was this wretched maid!
01:01:47She told me...
01:01:48To seduce His Majesty!
01:01:49And this is why I lost my composure!
01:01:51This is why I lost my composure!
01:01:54Lady Calvwell!
01:01:55It was clear to you, Simon!
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!
01:02:19I beg Your Majesty!
01:02:20You are the eldest daughter of the sturdy family!
01:02:22How dare you!
01:02:22Anna Caldwell, I always believed you to be a kind-hearted, 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!
01:02:36Your Majesty!
01:02:37This humble subject admits her fault!
01:02:38Your Majesty, please spare me!
01:02:40I do not want to go to the Office of Discipline!
01:02:43I have questions for you.
01:02:50Where is Her Majesty taking them?
01:03:03Evelyn!
01:03:05Lucas!
01:03:06Did the Empress down to punish you?
01:03:08Of course not!
01:03:09Her Majesty wished to discuss the Spring Blossom Banquet with me!
01:03:12That's a relief!
01:03:14Evelyn!
01:03:17Evelyn has passed the test!
01:03:18Wonderful!
01:03:19I will reveal my identity to her and make her my Empress!
01:03:23There is no need to rush the coronation.
01:03:25The Ministry of Rights is preparing for the Spring Blossom Banquet next month.
01:03:29They may not have enough resources to manage both.
01:03:32Moreover, this matter is too sudden.
01:03:35I'm concerned the other Ministers may object.
01:03:37Mother, 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.
01:03:48Her Majesty wants you to take charge of the Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:03:51Me?
01:03:53I don't know how to organize it.
01:03:58Don't worry.
01:03:59Trust your abilities.
01:04:00You shall triumph.
01:04:01I'll also assist you behind the scenes.
01:04:02All right.
01:04:14Get moving, all of you.
01:04:17If anyone there is a slack off, my whip shows no mercy.
01:04:26Useless fool!
01:04:27Do you still think you're a pampered young lady?
01:04:29Once 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!
01:04:44Don't touch me!
01:04:45I'm the daughter of Chancellor Caldwell!
01:04:47But I better show some respect!
01:04:54The daughter of Chancellor Caldwell?
01:04:56In my past life, Adrian Montauk was promoted by the Emperor Zorweger 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.
01:05:14What a wretched place!
01:05:16They expect me, a lady, to wash my clothes myself?
01:05:21Where did this lowly maid come from?
01:05:23I...
01:05:24Lady, I have an urgent request.
01:05:29When?
01:05:29Why should I help you?
01:05:31I am of noble birth.
01:05:33Were it not for this temporary misfortune,
01:05:35you wouldn't even be worthy to speak to me.
01:05:40My elder sister Evelyn Sterling is the reason I was in prison here!
01:05:44If you help escape,
01:05:45I shall be forever endowed to you.
01:05:47Evelyn 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.
01:06:08Your majesty!
01:06:09Terrible news!
01:06:10The Office of Discipline is on fire!
01:06:11What?
01:06:12Sir, what is the situation inside?
01:06:22The fire has engulfed the entire rear courtyard.
01:06:23Nearly half the people couldn't make it out.
01:06:26Anna Caldwell.
01:06:27Your majesty!
01:06:39Your majesty!
01:06:40This 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,
01:06:51at 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.
01:07:02What?
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?
01:07:12No!
01:07:14This humble subject humbly obeys your majesty's decree.
01:07:18I shall depart for the marriage alliance next month.
01:07:22However, 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.
01:08:05Thank you for your grace.
01:08:09Thank you for your grace.
01:08:18Evelyn Sterling,
01:08:20I thought you had sword height already.
01:08:24Turns out,
01:08:25you're still that low.
01:08:27You've ruined our parents and montags.
01:08:29and also got me thrown into the Office of Discipline.
01:08:32about that,
01:08:34I will make sure you pay it.
01:08:45Edmund,
01:08:47let me out, please.
01:08:49This is driving me crazy.
01:08:51You don't get to complain.
01:08:57If it weren't for you and Josephine,
01:08:59two fools,
01:09:00I wouldn't have offended his majesty
01:09:02and lost my position.
01:09:05It's all Josephine's fault.
01:09:08Husband!
01:09:10Why are you back?
01:09:11The Empress Dowager pardoned me.
01:09:15I'm released from Office of Discipline.
01:09:17After everything you put us through,
01:09:20you still have the guts to come back?
01:09:22Edmund,
01:09:23it's all because Evelyn.
01:09:25Instead of blaming each other here,
01:09:27you should think how to get back at her.
01:09:30Get back at her?
01:09:32She's like royalty now.
01:09:34How'd you get back at her, huh?
01:09:36I saw her once at the Office of Discipline.
01:09:39She was wearing a lonely palace-based uniform.
01:09:43I don't think she's royal.
01:09:45A palace maid?
01:09:47Could it be that
01:09:48His 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 nobles
01:09:59will 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
01:10:21the Empress Dowager's favor,
01:10:22our family will rise again.
01:10:31It's gonna be all nobles and high officials.
01:10:48Check everything thoroughly.
01:10:49We cannot afford to any mistakes.
01:10:51Oh, stop worrying.
01:10:56We've confirmed every detail
01:10:57multiple times already.
01:10:59There won't be any problems.
01:11:00Let's hope so.
01:11:03Avalyn.
01:11:04Avalyn.
01:11:14Hmm?
01:11:14If you like these pastries,
01:11:16I can get you more.
01:11:16Hmm.
01:11:21Glad this is a remote area
01:11:23with no patrols.
01:11:25Otherwise,
01:11:26I can't meet like this.
01:11:27Avalyn.
01:11:37Hmm?
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.
01:11:45Okay.
01:11:53Husband!
01:11:54Look over there!
01:11:54Look over there!
01:11:54Avalyn!
01:12:00And a palace guard!
01:12:05Oh, right!
01:12:06You're on duty today.
01:12:08Let's hurry back.
01:12:11Remember,
01:12:12wait for me here.
01:12:13Okay.
01:12:14Take these.
01:12:19Hey!
01:12:20You really can't go a moment
01:12:22without a man.
01:12:23Just got tossed aside
01:12:25by His Majesty,
01:12:26and now,
01:12:27you're ready with the guard.
01:12:38This is the Imperial Palace.
01:12:40Not your place, all right?
01:12:42Everything you do here
01:12:43is washed by His Majesty
01:12:44and the Empress Gouger.
01:12:45You were just released.
01:12:47Have you learned your lesson?
01:12:48My husband and I
01:12:50were invited here
01:12:51as honored guests
01:12:52for the banquet.
01:12:53You're nothing but a maid.
01:12:55If you serve us well,
01:12:57I may reward you.
01:12:59If not,
01:13:00you'll get kicked out.
01:13:03You were lucky
01:13:04to have got away last time.
01:13:06No one can protect you
01:13:08this time.
01:13:09What do you mean?
01:13:12I want to destroy you
01:13:14from head to toe.
01:13:17Greetings, Empress Dowager.
01:13:28Greetings, Empress Dowager.
01:13:30Evelyn,
01:13:32preparing the banquet
01:13:33must be exhausting.
01:13:34Once it is over,
01:13:36I will reward you properly.
01:13:38It's just my duty.
01:13:39Thanks for your grace.
01:13:41Your Highness,
01:13:43I have something to say.
01:13:44Speak.
01:13:46I wish to report
01:13:47Evelyn's improper relationship
01:13:49with the guard.
01:13:52Oh?
01:13:53I saw it with my own eyes.
01:13:55Evelyn and a guard
01:13:56were extremely intimate.
01:13:58When caught,
01:13:59they tried to cover it up.
01:14:00If they're this bold
01:14:01in broad daylight,
01:14:02who knows what they do
01:14:03in secret?
01:14:05Your Highness,
01:14:06I did have a contact
01:14:08with the guard.
01:14:09But before entering the palace,
01:14:11we already had
01:14:11developed feelings.
01:14:13In the palace,
01:14:13we only met occasionally.
01:14:15There was nothing improper.
01:14:17If you weren't guilty,
01:14:18why did you hurry away
01:14:20in that moment you saw us?
01:14:21This should be punishable
01:14:23by death.
01:14:25Your Highness,
01:14:27I insist on seeing him.
01:14:28If this matter
01:14:29deserves punishment,
01:14:31please spare the guard's life.
01:14:33Huh?
01:14:34Seems neither of you
01:14:35are innocent.
01:14:36Your Highness,
01:14:37please summon the guard
01:14:39and execute them.
01:14:40Yes, Your Highness.
01:14:41Punish them both
01:14:42to uphold palace discipline.
01:14:45You two want me
01:14:46to execute the guard?
01:14:51You two want me
01:14:52to execute the guard?
01:14:54In the palace,
01:14:57it is indeed forbidden
01:14:58for palace maids
01:14:59and guards to mingle.
01:15:01But Evelyn,
01:15:02for organizing the banquet,
01:15:04put in great effort.
01:15:05She's redeemed herself.
01:15:06I have decided
01:15:07to spare her
01:15:08from punishment.
01:15:09Bye!
01:15:09Evelyn,
01:15:10lead me to the banquet site.
01:15:12Yes.
01:15:13Farewell,
01:15:26Your Highness.
01:15:28She escaped again.
01:15:30Why is she
01:15:31always so lucky?
01:15:32First the Emperor
01:15:33protected her
01:15:34and now the Empress dowager.
01:15:35Even she was entrusted
01:15:36with the whole banquet?
01:15:38Since she's in charge
01:15:39of the banquet,
01:15:40we can just...
01:15:48Your Majesty,
01:15:50the banquet is that way.
01:15:51Where are you going?
01:15:52It's about to begin.
01:15:53You'll be late.
01:15:54I've thought it over.
01:15:55I should let her know
01:15:56the truth before the banquet.
01:15:58Go tell Evelyn
01:15:59to meet me
01:16:00where we were before.
01:16:04Eunuch Langley.
01:16:06Come here.
01:16:06What's going on?
01:16:16We've done a great job
01:16:17this time.
01:16:18They're talking about
01:16:19how good the banquet is.
01:16:20Even an Empress dowager
01:16:21looks pleased.
01:16:22That's great.
01:16:25Someone is waiting
01:16:25for you in that courtyard.
01:16:26Go.
01:16:28Who is it?
01:16:31Assassins,
01:16:32protect the Empress dowager!
01:16:33What's going on inside?
01:16:37An assassin disguised
01:16:38as a dancer.
01:16:39Lord Montague took
01:16:40the blow for Her Majesty
01:16:41and the assassin escaped.
01:16:42What?
01:16:44Take her away.
01:16:46What are you doing?
01:16:48There is an assassin.
01:16:49We are arresting Evelyn
01:16:50to the judicial court.
01:16:51What?
01:16:51Me?
01:16:59My lord,
01:17:00he's the suspect.
01:17:01Maid Evelyn Sterling.
01:17:03He's the Prime Minister.
01:17:04So,
01:17:05she's the one
01:17:06who harmed Dana.
01:17:07Chancellor Caldwell.
01:17:09She was in charge
01:17:10of the palace banquet.
01:17:11How dare you?
01:17:13How dare you
01:17:13plan assassination
01:17:14against the Empress dowager?
01:17:16Are you rebelling?
01:17:18I'm not.
01:17:19I personally verified
01:17:20the identity of everyone.
01:17:22I have no idea
01:17:23where the assassin came from.
01:17:24Of course you don't.
01:17:25Right before the banquet,
01:17:26you were secretly meeting
01:17:27with the guard.
01:17:28You were so affectionate
01:17:29that you just ignore
01:17:30everything around you.
01:17:31What?
01:17:33Is this true?
01:17:34Chancellor,
01:17:35I can testify.
01:17:36That very guard
01:17:37is still at the Ministry of Rights.
01:17:38Somewhat.
01:17:39Bring that guard here.
01:17:40I will get to the bottom of this.
01:17:45Why hasn't Evelyn come yet?
01:17:46I will get to the top of this.
01:18:02Sir,
01:18:03here's the guard.
01:18:04Are you alright?
01:18:05Lucas?
01:18:08Evelyn Sterling,
01:18:09how do you plead?
01:18:10Please investigate Sterling.
01:18:12Since you're as 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.
01:18:23If not, for my husband's great reaction.
01:18:25You should have been executed by now.
01:18:28Chancellor Campbell, I 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.
01:18:53Chesler, we broke over water.
01:18:55Chesler, I'm begging.
01:18:57Chesler.
01:18:58Chesler, don't.
01:18:59Chesler, please.
01:19:01Chesler.
01:19:03Lucas, I'm sorry.
01:19:05It's not my fault.
01:19:06I'm so sorry.
01:19:12Stop 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.
01:19:43Condemning the innocent.
01:19:45Without discerning right from wrong.
01:19:47This is totally outrageous.
01:19:49You keep going against Evelyn at every turn.
01:19:58Today, if I weren't here,
01:20:00you would have gotten your way.
01:20:02Your majesty, I didn't meant to hurt my sister.
01:20:05Your majesty, Evelyn was in charge of the banquet,
01:20:07but she allowed assassins in to hurt the Empress Starwager.
01:20:11I beg you.
01:20:11Your majesty issue an order at once
01:20:13to imprison her for further interrogation.
01:20:15Chesler, 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.
01:20:26Your 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 doesn't 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.
01:21:02Is that so?
01:21:03If I have evidence that Evelyn's innocent,
01:21:05what should you be punished for?
01:21:13Impossible.
01:21:14Nicholas, I'm asking you!
01:21:19They're fine.
01:21:20What's wrong about her?
01:21:22I'm willing to receive the same punishment.
01:21:24Okay.
01:21:26Come on.
01:21:27Bring them to me.
01:21:31Your majesty is wise.
01:21:33Following your orders,
01:21:34I've ready arranged for guards
01:21:36to capture the assassin.
01:21:38Your majesty, spare me.
01:21:40The assassination was all Josephine and Andrea's idea.
01:21:43I was truly forced into it.
01:21:44Your majesty, to spare me.
01:21:45Your majesty, please, spare me.
01:21:46It's over.
01:21:47It's all over.
01:21:49Guards, take Nicholas away.
01:21:51Your majesty,
01:21:52I've been serving the royals for decades.
01:21:56I'm absolutely loyal.
01:21:58Your majesty, please,
01:21:59don't do this to me.
01:22:01Your majesty.
01:22:01Her majesty.
01:22:06Her majesty.
01:22:07That's for you two.
01:22:09Your majesty, your majesty.
01:22:10This has nothing to do with me.
01:22:11It was all her.
01:22:12She ordered me to do it.
01:22:14You're lying.
01:22:14Your majesty,
01:22:15I was only jealous of my sister.
01:22:17The assassination was always Grant's idea.
01:22:19And,
01:22:19and taking the flu was 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.
01:22:39Your majesty!
01:22:40Your majesty!
01:22:41Please give me a chance,
01:22:42your majesty,
01:22:43your majesty,
01:22:43your majesty!
01:22:44I hate you!
01:22:45If not for you,
01:22:47I'll have to put up in mine!
01:22:48Your love.
01:22:50It's all because of yourself,
01:22:51if not me!
01:22:54You brought all of this upon yourself.
01:23:04Evelyn.
01:23:07Hi.
01:23:11So your majesty,
01:23:12what is your real name?
01:23:17Lucian Prescott.
01:23:20Lucian Prescott.
01:23:21Now the criminals have been taken away.
01:23:25Your majesty and your highness,
01:23:27you can finally be together.
01:23:31My highness.
01:23:34From today onward,
01:23:35I will make you empress.
01:23:37Starting today,
01:23:43the concubines will be dismissed.
01:23:45The harem only has one leader.
01:23:50And that will be my empress.
01:23:53Greetings!
01:23:55Long live your highness!
01:23:56Don'titu,
