Transcript
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!
00:00:41Sister!
00:00:43What?
00:00:43Don't call me Sister!
00:00:44You are unworthy, we are both daughters of the Sterling family, why should you live better
00:00:49than me?!
00:00:50If only Adrian Montag caught my bridle bowl three years ago!
00:00:54No!
00:00:59This thing being over is nothing but an illusion.
00:01:02If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.
00:01:24Master, I have already spread the word.
00:01:32The 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.
00:01:44You 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 ball.
00:02:01Sister, please let me go first.
00:02:05In my past life, Josephine insists that I go first.
00:02:09Feigning modesty and humility. Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.
00:02:19Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me! Lady Josephine, come on!
00:02:26In this life, I have to marry Adrian!
00:02:38Tim, 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!
00:02:49Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank and I shall become a noble lady of honor!
00:02:55Josephine, you have schemed relentlessly.
00:03:00But little do you know that you're gonna suffer a lot in the evil Montague family.
00:03:05Great, great, great! The whole family is counting on you!
00:03:10Oh, stop flattering me! I'm doing this just for our family.
00:03:13Once I become Lady Montague, I shall be mindful of my words and actions bringing prosperity to our family.
00:03:20Sister, what do you say?
00:03:23You are truly fortunate. As your sister, I am happy for you.
00:03:29Evelyn, Lady Luck is with me this time. In this life, I will never let you overshadow me again.
00:03:36That is...
00:03:42Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:03:46Master, if the Empress tower did 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.
00:03:59Let's have a look.
00:04:02In 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 close 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?
00:05:24Dammit! With so many people down there, how could you cast it to a beggar?
00:05:28Are you deliberately trying to save 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.
00:05:39It is only a pity for you, sister, raising comfort and luxury.
00:05:43But now bound to a beggar, you shall have to labor yourself to earn your bread.
00:05:47Now 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?
00:06:02Hey! Hey! Cease her! Don't let her escape!
00:06:05Master, how did this bridal ball end up in your hands? What should we do now? Let's discard it.
00:06:11I'm dressed in such rags. She won't agree.
00:06:14Sister, why are you running? You cast the bridal ball yourself!
00:06:21You damn girl! Look at the filthy beggar you've got!
00:06:26If 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 a better fate.
00:06:41The 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?
00:07:02I am Lu- Lucas Prescott.
00:07:06With all present as my witnesses today. I, Evelyn Sterling. Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband.
00:07:24Are 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?
00:07:41We'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.
00:07:52I've never seen someone so easily content.
00:07:56He's just a filthy beggar! You're really gonna marry him?!
00:08:00Evelyn, 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. Lucas, he may be in rags now. But I can see his humility and good manner. He's gonna make a difference maybe.
00:08:19You are-
00:08:21Rule 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.
00:08:45The matchmaking is concluded. Everyone disperse.
00:08:51Sister, no hard feelings.
00:08:55But marrying a beggar means you will spend your life beneath me.
00:09:00You should worry about yourself. Life with the Monticeous is not as easy as you imagine.
00:09:07Hmph!
00:09:15You-
00:09:19In three days, remember to come to propose.
00:09:23It's her or mother's pressing. So I might as well-
00:09:26All right. I'll be there.
00:09:27Today, 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.
00:09:33Lady 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.
00:09:42Sister, after marrying a beggar, you will likely toil for the rest of your life. I wonder if you can even endure such life.
00:09:49Is the bridegroom?
00:09:50Is the bridegroom? The bridegroom has arrived.
00:09:51Oh, as expected of the second son of the Montague family.
00:09:55The spectacle is grand indeed.
00:09:56Of course, the Montague's hold immense power. Marrying into their family, Lady Josephine Sterling will be able to live with her.
00:10:01A life of endless luxury.
00:10:02Unlike Evelyn, marrying a beggar, this will certainly be an interesting sight to behold.
00:10:04I wonder if you can even endure such life.
00:10:05It's the bridegroom. The bridegroom has arrived.
00:10:06It's the bridegroom. The bridegroom has arrived.
00:10:07Oh, 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.
00:10:26Unlike 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.
00:10:33Please rise, my son-in-law.
00:10:35My son-in-law.
00:10:36Such an elaborate wedding procession is a spectacle worthy of Highgate.
00:10:40For 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.
00:11:16My lady.
00:11:17Are 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?
00:11:41Marriage is a lifelong commitment, building upon sincerity, not mere appearances. The men I, Evelyn Sterling, have chosen. It's not one whose worth can be swayed by idle words.
00:11:50Have you not embarrassed us enough?
00:11:53Master, do not be angered. From the moment Evelyn steps beyond this threshold, she'll no longer be a Sterling.
00:12:00The auspicious hour has arrived. Bring the bride to the carriage!
00:12:12This is the...
00:12:16Congratulations, Master Sterling. Your son-in-law is truly an exceptional man.
00:12:20Many thanks, Deputy Minister. Please come inside.
00:12:26Off 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.
00:12:42My lady, please, allow me to take you home.
00:13:07Bow to the heavens and the earth.
00:13:09Is this the place they've found us to live in?
00:13:12Mm-mm.
00:13:14Bow 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.
00:13:24And bow to each other as husband and wife.
00:13:34The ceremony is complete!
00:13:36My lady, I have put you through hardship, having a life with me in such a shabby place.
00:13:42Not 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, you'll soon feel much more comfortable.
00:13:55At this moment, I have nothing of value to give you.
00:13:59The shade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:14:02I've carried it with me all these years.
00:14:05And now, I'm giving it to you.
00:14:08I'm giving it to you.
00:14:13It's so precious. Are you certain of it?
00:14:20Alright. I will cherish it well.
00:14:23You're up! Breakfast is ready. For you.
00:14:25You're up! Breakfast is ready. For you!
00:14:26You're up.
00:14:49Breakfast is ready.
00:14:50For you.
00:14:54Hey.
00:14:55Where are you going?
00:14:57Today is the wife's homecoming day.
00:14:59I made telemeds 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.
00:15:05All right.
00:15:06I'll go with you.
00:15:07All right.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:14Greetings, your ma-
00:15:15Greetings, your majesty!
00:15:20Greetings, your majesty!
00:15:21Greetings, your ma-
00:15:22Who are they?
00:15:27The palace is too complicated.
00:15:29Once everything's settled, I'll reveal my identity to Evelyn.
00:15:32They are...
00:15:32They're here for Victor.
00:15:37Yes, yes.
00:15:42I used to serve in the palace.
00:15:44These are all old acquaintances.
00:15:48Evelyn, I'll help Victor to entertain the guests.
00:15:51Will you be all right buying threat on your own?
00:15:53Yes.
00:15:55Yes.
00:15:56Hmm.
00:16:08Speak!
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.
00:17:01Had you not married that filthy beggar, perhaps I would have taken you as a concubine.
00:17:06At least you wouldn't have fallen to such a state.
00:17:08That will not be necessary.
00:17:10I am living well.
00:17:11As of for you, sister, it has been quite a few days since you had seen your husband before.
00:17:16You...
00:17:17Ugh.
00:17:18Screw you, Adrian.
00:17:19Went drinking with corsets on our wedding night, and now everyone knows we are utterly humiliating me.
00:17:25Josephine.
00:17:30Father.
00:17:31Mother.
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.
00:17:45You'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.
00:17:56Your humble son-in-law has brought a small gift.
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.
00:18:07For 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, and 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?
00:18:31Father, mother, these are the two protective talamans I made for you by hand.
00:18:43A blessing to you both.
00:18:44Wishing you peace and prosperity.
00:18:46Oh.
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.
00:18:58How 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 ha.
00:19:07Oh, right.
00:19:08She has married a beggar.
00:19:10What else could we expect from her?
00:19:12Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:19:13Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:19:15Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:19:18Master, Madam.
00:19:19Someone from the palace has arrived with gifts.
00:19:21They say they are the homecoming gifts from Lady Evelyn.
00:19:27Master Shirley, who exactly?
00:19:28Has your eldest daughter married a mountain nobility?
00:19:31Even the palace saw fit to have me personally deliver these gifts to you.
00:19:34You must hold great influence, indeed.
00:19:36Gifts from the palace?
00:19:37Then it must be from his majesty himself.
00:19:39It was personally arranged by the chief eunuch at his majesty's side.
00:19:42He said,
00:19:43For the Starling family's...
00:19:47Outest 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.
00:20:09Indeed.
00:20:11In this world,
00:20:12Those seeking favor with the Montague family are countless.
00:20:15Even those in the palace are paying their respects.
00:20:18Father-in-law,
00:20:19Please 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.
00:20:41Sister,
00:20:42My husband has prepared two sets of homecoming gifts.
00:20:45Seeing all these,
00:20:46Do you not feel ashamed?
00:20:48It's not about the quality of gifts,
00:20:50But the sincerity behind them.
00:20:51I see nothing inappropriate in this.
00:20:53I've poured my heart and effort into raising you,
00:20:56And yet,
00:20:56Not 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.
00:21:05Simply because I married Lucas,
00:21:07You feel justified to humiliate me like this.
00:21:09Josephine acts in the best interest of the Sterling family,
00:21:12Unlike you,
00:21:13Who married a beggar,
00:21:14Bringing disgrace upon us all.
00:21:17Disgrace?
00:21:19It's only because Josephine married into wealth,
00:21:22That 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?
00:21:30In your eyes,
00:21:33A daughter is nothing more than a pawn to suck your power and favor.
00:21:37Outrageous!
00:21:38How dare you!
00:21:40Speak to your father in such a manner!
00:21:45A dragon jade pendant?
00:21:49Outrageous!
00:21:50Oh!
00:21:51And now,
00:21:52I 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.
00:22:14Would right have you to make such rash accusations.
00:22:17Lucas may not be of noble birth like you.
00:22:19But you believe that possessing a jade pendant is a rightful due.
00:22:22Yet Lucas is not worthy of the same.
00:22:23A worthless beggar's gift.
00:22:25And you treat it like a treasure.
00:22:26How ignorant.
00:22:27You won the pendant?
00:22:29Very well.
00:22:30But you must sever all ties with the Sterlings.
00:22:34You...
00:22:35Father,
00:22:40will you truly indulge Josephine's audacity?
00:22:43Am I not also your daughter?
00:22:45You insisted on marrying a beggar.
00:22:48Bringing shame upon the Sterling family,
00:22:50you are unworthy to be my daughter.
00:22:52On this day forth,
00:22:53I have only one daughter,
00:22:55Josephine!
00:22:55For the rest of my life,
00:23:04I seek only to be with the one who is true of heart.
00:23:07Even if I must live on plain fare,
00:23:09it is better than enduring cold disdain in the Sterlings.
00:23:13Since that is the case...
00:23:23Hi, Evelyn Sterling.
00:23:25Severe all ties with the Sterling family.
00:23:29We are here and forth, strangers.
00:23:40All 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.
00:23:59Now that you wish to leave,
00:24:01I fear it is too late.
00:24:03Guards!
00:24:04Bring the burning charcoal from the kitchen!
00:24:07Scattering them across the board!
00:24:08What are you trying to do?
00:24:12Your Majesty,
00:24:13something here of course happened.
00:24:14Lady Evelyn was humiliated at the Sterling estate.
00:24:22One's body and soul are bestowed by One's parents.
00:24:25If you wish to sever ties,
00:24:27you must first repay your parents' kindness.
00:24:30My Lady speaks most reasonably.
00:24:32Given your current state,
00:24:33it would be far too much to expect
00:24:35that you present anything of great value.
00:24:37Then you have no choice but to walk barefoot
00:24:39across this bed of burning charcoal.
00:24:43It is bleeding 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,
00:24:53that you no longer want this jade pendant.
00:24:57Stop!
00:24:58Lucas is the only one
00:25:02who 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
00:25:09to be trampled a couple.
00:25:10I will walk.
00:25:20Hyah!
00:25:21Hyah!
00:25:24Hyah!
00:25:25For the sake of a filthy beggar,
00:25:33you would go to such lengths?
00:25:35You must have lost your mind!
00:25:37For a mere jade pendant,
00:25:39a lady born into privilege
00:25:41would willingly walk across burning charcoal.
00:25:43No wonder she was foolish enough
00:25:45to marry a mere beggar.
00:25:46After all,
00:25:47what does a beggar have to his name
00:25:49but worthless trinkets?
00:25:50This jade pendant is likely
00:25:52his most treasured possession.
00:25:55No wonder dear sister cherishes it so.
00:25:58The jade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:26:01I've carried it with me all these years.
00:26:04And now,
00:26:05I'm giving it to you.
00:26:14For me, my lady.
00:26:17Lucas,
00:26:18do not worry.
00:26:20I will reclaim the jade pendant.
00:26:21Can you
00:26:33return 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,
00:26:45this jade pendant will be yours.
00:26:47The jade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:27:05I've carried it with me all these years.
00:27:07And now,
00:27:08I'm giving it to you.
00:27:12All right.
00:27:13I will cherish it well.
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?
00:27:48Why are you looking at me like that?
00:27:52I have long told you the fate of a woman who wets a beggar can only be one to be trampled upon at will.
00:27:59You exhaust yourself trying to torment me.
00:28:02But do you truly believe you'll get your way?
00:28:06I want you to spend the rest of your days wallowing in the gutter,
00:28:11watching as I rise to become the most esteemed woman in the world!
00:28:24His majesty has arrived!
00:28:31Who dares to lay a hand on my woman?
00:28:34Avalon! I'm sorry. I'm late.
00:28:41Just leave.
00:28:42Lucas...
00:28:44I didn't lose your Jake Bandit.
00:28:47Did they say it was his majesty? How could it be him?
00:28:55That 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?
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!
00:29:31You! What do you think you're doing?
00:29:33Evelyn, come with me.
00:29:35Evelyn, what's wrong?
00:29:46Who did this?
00:29:48Lucas...
00:29:56Yes, it was me! So what?
00:29:58I was only trying to help my dear sister. Who would have thought she would walk barefoot across a burning charcoal?
00:30:03I wonder what she was thinking. Such 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.
00:30:14I am a noble lady with the Montag family. You are nothing but insects beneath my feet.
00:30:19Even 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. Guards! Seize this filthy beggar, Evelyn Sterling!
00:30:28Wait...
00:30:33How dare you humiliate my lady!
00:30:36Seize them! Seize them!
00:30:42How dare you! I'm Lady Joseph of the Montag!
00:30:46My husband, save me!
00:30:47You filthy beggar! Guards! Whoever kills him for me, I shall reward him with ten tails of gold!
00:30:54Insolent, wretch! Lord Montague is of royal lineage!
00:30:58Who dare lay a hand on him, you shall make an enemy of the entire Montague family!
00:31:02And what of it?
00:31:04Anyone who dares harm my lady shall only have one face, death!
00:31:11You filthy beggar, you're taking this act too far!
00:31:13Before I lose my temper, release me at once! I might disappear your life!
00:31:17You've tortured Evelyn to such wretched state!
00:31:20Press their faces!
00:31:22Straight into the burning charcoal!
00:31:26No!
00:31:28No!
00:31:29No!
00:31:30What are you doing?
00:31:31No!
00:31:32Once the Judicial Court arrives, you are doomed!
00:31:36All right!
00:31:37My brother is an official of the Imperial Court!
00:31:39Do you really think you'll walk away alive?
00:31:41I'd like to see if the Judicial Court would tolerate this!
00:31:47Carry on!
00:31:48Help!
00:31:49Help!
00:31:50No!
00:31:51Help!
00:31:52No!
00:31:53Excuse me!
00:31:54You wretched fool!
00:31:55If 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!
00:32:01Save me!
00:32:11Who is harming my brother?
00:32:17The Imperial Secret Guards!
00:32:18Why are they here?
00:32:20Yes!
00:32:21I summoned them!
00:32:23That voice!
00:32:24Could it be?
00:32:26Your Majesty!
00:32:28Your Majesty!
00:32:33The Emperor!
00:32:34How could this filthy beggar...
00:32:36Brother!
00:32:37Don't let this filthy beggar fool you!
00:32:38These 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!
00:32:57You've offended Lord Montague!
00:32:58I'll see how you plan to end this!
00:33:01My Lord!
00:33:02You must uphold justice for us!
00:33:04This filthy beggar and Evelyn Sterling!
00:33:06They defied human ethics!
00:33:08Even intended to murder us!
00:33:10Outrageous!
00:33:11At the foot of the Imperial City!
00:33:13How can you act so brazenly?
00:33:14Guards!
00:33:15Take them to the dungeon of the Judicial Court!
00:33:17Interrogate them with torture!
00:33:18Wait!
00:33:20What else do you have to say?
00:33:22Since when was this position of Lord Justice Deputy?
00:33:25Yours to assume!
00:33:26You filthy beggar!
00:33:27How could you possibly know about court appointments?
00:33:30My brother was appointed by the Empress Dowager herself!
00:33:33What now?
00:33:34Regret finally sinking in?
00:33:35Even the Empress Dowager was deceived!
00:33:37Your Montague family truly is impressive!
00:33:41Empress Dowager!
00:33:42Please speak up for your subject!
00:33:43His Majesty outside the palace married the eldest daughter of the Sterling family!
00:33:44What?
00:33:45Because that woman his Majesty even lashed out!
00:33:46I said his Majesty married another woman outside the palace?
00:33:47Guards!
00:33:48The brothers are done!
00:33:49Insolent!
00:33:50How dare you offend the Empress Dowager?
00:33:51Are you trying to get yourself killed?
00:33:52Lord Montague!
00:33:53Please see clearly!
00:33:54Our Sterling family has long severed ties with Evelyn Sterling!
00:33:56Every word she says has nothing to do with us!
00:34:08That's right, my lord!
00:34:09Our sterling family has always followed the rules!
00:34:11We would never dare speak against the royal family!
00:34:13Please see the truth, my lord!
00:34:15The president of the Riley is the capital crime!
00:34:18You must not let them go, my lord!
00:34:20Evelyn Sterling, your dear husband has now committed a hell of death,
00:34:22crime. You must not let them go, my lord.
00:34:24Evelyn Sterling, your dear husband has now committed
00:34:26a heinous crime.
00:34:28No matter who comes today, they cannot
00:34:30save you. I can't.
00:34:33I can't let Lucas break up your arm.
00:34:34Spare us, my lord. He didn't mean to offend...
00:34:38Evelyn!
00:34:44Evelyn,
00:34:45let's go. How dare you?
00:34:47Trying to run? Guards,
00:34:48stop them. Whoever dares to block us again,
00:34:51kill without mercy. Yes, sir!
00:34:52Trying to escape?
00:34:58It's not that easy!
00:35:04Lucas!
00:35:09Lucas! Lucas!
00:35:11Josephine Sterling,
00:35:13why is your heart so vicious?
00:35:15Lucas has no grievance with you, yet you
00:35:16harms him so cruelly. This filthy beggar
00:35:19actually tried to have some disfigure me?
00:35:21Of course I couldn't let you leave.
00:35:22Lucas!
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? You still think he can go?
00:35:40Josephine Sterling,
00:35:41why won't you just let me go?
00:35:42Why won't you just let me go?
00:35:46I have to admit,
00:35:48sister, you're truly fortunate.
00:35:50Even marrying a beggar, you still found true love.
00:35:53What a pity.
00:35:54The more you're like this,
00:35:55the more impossible it is for me to let you have your way!
00:35:58You...
00:35:58Josephine,
00:35:59the grudge between us
00:36:01should not involve others.
00:36:03You can do whatever you want to me.
00:36:05I beg you,
00:36:06let Lucas go, please.
00:36:08Avalyn,
00:36:09you 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
00:36:23to death together.
00:36:26What are you waiting for?
00:36:28Die!
00:36:29Avalyn,
00:36:29watch out!
00:36:32The 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 Lanley,
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!
00:36:58You're serviced, her base!
00:36:59Come, come, come!
00:37:00Hurry!
00:37:03Your Majesty,
00:37:04all members of the Starlink 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?
00:37:15Passed down my decree.
00:37:16Sebastian Scherding and his family are executed on the spot!
00:37:20Master!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:25Admin Montague,
00:37:26as 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,
00:37:33along the Montague in the Judicial Court.
00:37:34Spare me, Your Majesty!
00:37:35Spare me!
00:37:36Please spare me, Your Majesty!
00:37:38Thank Your Majesty to revoke the order!
00:37:41It was my fault!
00:37:44I failed to see the truth,
00:37:46Your Majesty!
00:37:47When you humiliated 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 of the Sterling family.
00:38:02Empress Dowager,
00:38:03please,
00:38:03for the sake of my father's honor,
00:38:05spare me once!
00:38:06I beg Your Majesty and 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 who was badly injured, my son.
00:38:30You should go tend to her quickly.
00:38:49Lucas, are 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,
00:38:56you 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?
00:39:13You want to make Evelyn Sterling your Empress?
00:39:16I absolutely do not approve.
00:39:17I 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...
00:39:34But...
00:39:34But...
00:39:34But...
00:39:35Before that,
00:39:38you 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.
00:39:53The Empress Dowager gave the order to have them all beat in 50 strikes each.
00:40:03Adrian Montague frequented 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.
00:40:35That'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.
00:40:58Evelyn.
00:40:59When I have some free time,
00:41:00I'll come to see you.
00:41:02Alright.
00:41:05Greets.
00:41:05Guests should notify us
00:41:15before touring the 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, Ma'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 of Miss Evelyn.
00:41:40I definitely won't let 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 like a mistress?
00:41:54She...
00:41:58Maybe she's a nice person.
00:42:08Miss Evelyn,
00:42:09please come with me.
00:42:12Go ahead.
00:42:13Go ahead.
00:42:13You.
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 earn
00:42:44Ma'am Langston's favor.
00:42:45She got all the
00:42:46Yeezy's work assigned to you.
00:42:53Hey!
00:43:03Give 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
00:43:11inform Ma'am Langston.
00:43:12Someone is stealing.
00:43:14Oh, Majesty.
00:43:15Give it back to me
00:43:16right now.
00:43:30What are you waiting for?
00:43:32Grab her!
00:43:34Everyone,
00:43:34stop right there.
00:43:37Your 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.
00:44:00She must never learn
00:44:01of my identity.
00:44:02palace rules are strict.
00:44:10I was only gone
00:44:11for a little while.
00:44:12And you dare behave
00:44:13so wildly.
00:44:14What do you take
00:44:15the Imperial Household Bureau
00:44:16for?
00:44:16Ma'am,
00:44:17she stole
00:44:17His Majesty's Jade Pendant.
00:44:21The one thing
00:44:21most forbidden
00:44:22in the harm
00:44:23is Eve.
00:44:23She feared
00:44:24being 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
00:45:15what outrageous
00:45:16things she might
00:45:16do.
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 me
00:45:28by someone
00:45:28very dear to
00:45:29me.
00:45:30It was
00:45:30definitely
00:45:31not stolen.
00:45:32I truly
00:45:32don't know
00:45:33how I 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 rely
00:45:41on the object
00:45:41to prove
00:45:42there was
00:45:42theft involved.
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're
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
00:45:54the new
00:45:55steward,
00:45:55Madam
00:45:56Williams.
00:45:56From now on,
00:45:57she will
00:45:57work with me
00:45:58to manage
00:45:59the Bureau.
00:45:59All of you
00:46:00behave yourselves.
00:46:01Anyone who
00:46:02tries to be
00:46:02sneaky or
00:46:03lazy will be
00:46:04punished according
00:46:04to Palace
00:46:05rules.
00:46:06Yes,
00:46:06Ma'am.
00:46:06Yes,
00:46:07Ma'am.
00:46:11Your bullying
00:46:12of your colleague
00:46:13has not been
00:46:14settled yet.
00:46:14You are to
00:46:14clean toilet bowl
00:46:15as punishment.
00:46:16You may eat
00:46:17only when you
00:46:17finish.
00:46:18Yes,
00:46:21Ma'am.
00:46:22your majesty,
00:46:27you may be
00:46:27going to
00:46:27go to the
00:46:28house.
00:46:28Oh,
00:46:28isn't this much
00:46:41better?
00:46:41Oh,
00:46:42isn't this much better?
00:46:43Your 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.
00:47:13Lucas. 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...
00:47:43I'm sorry you had to endure this. I promise I'll find a way to get you out of here as soon as possible.
00:47:50By 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?
00:47:58Uh, 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.
00:48:09Oh, I see. All they say is his majesty, his majesty. I thought maybe you were lying to me.
00:48:14Who's there?
00:48:23It's Madam Willems. Hurry up, go. Go let her see you.
00:48:25Tomorrow. I'll come to see you tomorrow again.
00:48:27Madam, all the toilet bowls have been cleaned.
00:48:38Cleaned already?
00:48:40Then go sweep the entire back courtyard.
00:48:46Yes, ma'am.
00:48:49Finally done with everything.
00:48:57Why are you throwing my things?
00:49:04Madam Willems 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 too.
00:49:16Morning too.
00:49:18Everyone heard it. I'm not making it up.
00:49:20Why is Madam Willems always picking on me?
00:49:23Madam Willems already showed me mercy by not punishing for the theft last time.
00:49:27All she asked was for you to collect the morning dew.
00:49:29You should be grateful.
00:49:30The pendant wasn't stolen at all.
00:49:31Stop falsely accusing me.
00:49:33Not stolen?
00:49:33Are you saying his majesty gave it to you himself?
00:49:45The night air is damped with dew.
00:49:47I'm going inside to get my own blanket.
00:49:48Is that not allowed?
00:49:50What arrogance.
00:49:51This is the Imperial Palace.
00:49:52There's no such thing as yours or mine.
00:49:54Don't think that just because Madam Willems
00:49:55so you can do whatever you want.
00:49:57Who said you could come in?
00:50:00Move aside.
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!
00:50:24You're the emperor.
00:50:32You're his majesty.
00:50:35Insolent servant!
00:50:39You must never let her discover your true identity.
00:50:42My 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 has Master Langley been by his majesty's side?
00:51:05Master Langley.
00:51:06What is going on here?
00:51:09Oh, this young guy in here,
00:51:12he made a strike in resemblance to his majesty.
00:51:14I specifically brought him to the palace to interrogate him.
00:51:17Uh-uh.
00:51:18Hey, you, the new one.
00:51:20How can you be so ignorant of the rules?
00:51:21Don't you know you should behave yourself here?
00:51:23I humbly apologize.
00:51:25I acknowledge my error.
00:51:27Madam Langston, I beg your pardon.
00:51:29It's entirely my fault for causing this young officer concern.
00:51:32If you understand your error, then leave at once.
00:51:44As for you...
00:51:48Fragenizing with the guards is a grave matter.
00:51:50Yet, Madam Williams merely punished her with kneeling.
00:51:53The last time she stole a jade pendant,
00:51:54that incident was also swept under the rug.
00:51:58Tell me,
00:51:58if his majesty knew she had stolen his jade pendant,
00:52:01how do you think he would handle her?
00:52:13I shall inform his majesty at once.
00:52:16It was you who stole his jade pendant.
00:52:17Let us see if he will still let you off so easily.
00:52:20Ah!
00:52:22Ah, my face!
00:52:24My face!
00:52:25Ah, my face!
00:52:27Ah, my face!
00:52:28Ah!
00:52:29You foolish serpent!
00:52:30What have you put in this bowl?
00:52:32I...
00:52:33I obtained a recipe from a tallist who claimed
00:52:35they could enhance one's beauty when consumed.
00:52:37I only wished to do what was best for Madam Williams,
00:52:43which is why I acted so foolishly.
00:52:45How dare you serve something of unknown origin to ma'am
00:52:48if this rash on her face does not fade?
00:52:51How will you atone for this?
00:52:53Madam!
00:52:54Guards!
00:52:54Drag her away and sell her to a slave trader!
00:52:57Madam Williams, have mercy!
00:52:59Madam, have mercy, please!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:02Madam, have mercy!
00:53:04Madam!
00:53:04May I be permitted to try?
00:53:11You?
00:53:14You?
00:53:15I've studied medical texts,
00:53:16and I can prepare herbal remedy
00:53:18that might alleviate the rash on your face.
00:53:24If...
00:53:25If my myths prove effective,
00:53:29I beg you, Madam,
00:53:31to spare Isabella's life.
00:53:32His Majesty has not paid me attention for a long time.
00:53:46Yet I hear
00:53:47he has recently been visiting Imperial Household Bureau.
00:53:50Tell me who could be in the Imperial Household Bureau
00:53:52to capture His Majesty's interest so deeply.
00:53:55I don't know!
00:53:56I know nothing!
00:53:58Speak!
00:53:58I remember now!
00:54:03There is indeed someone
00:54:04who dares to do such a thing!
00:54:06Oh?
00:54:17It may not look appealing,
00:54:19but it is true that the rash
00:54:20has faded somewhat.
00:54:24It seems
00:54:25you do have some skill.
00:54:26Thank you for your praise, Madam.
00:54:29Madam,
00:54:30you need to only wait six more hours,
00:54:32and the rash
00:54:33will completely disappear.
00:54:46Eh?
00:54:52What are you trying to do now?
00:54:55If it weren't for you today,
00:55:03I might have already been taken away.
00:55:06As for what happened before,
00:55:07I owe you an apology.
00:55:09I will accept any punishment
00:55:10or scolding you see fit.
00:55:19Why would I still...
00:55:20say you're willing to forgive me?
00:55:25You're not entirely a bad person.
00:55:30It's just that your words
00:55:32can be utterly vicious.
00:55:42Let's go.
00:55:42Her majesty.
00:55:43Her majesty.
00:55:43Her majesty.
00:55:48I believe that his majesty's insistence
00:55:51on making Lady Evelyn the empress
00:55:52does not seem like a mere impulse.
00:55:55Lady Evelyn truly possesses remarkable qualities.
00:56:00I'll see you to chestnut cake.
00:56:02It was her!
00:56:03It was you who seduced his majesty.
00:56:17With us stuck the face of yours.
00:56:19No wonder you can't stay out of trouble.
00:56:21His majesty finding a bride outside the palace is not me.
00:56:23But when did your lowly servants
00:56:26dare to entertain such wicked thoughts?
00:56:29When did Evelyn ever seduce his majesty?
00:56:31Isabella, have you forgotten
00:56:32how much we suffered because of her?
00:56:34Evelyn never once provoked me intentionally.
00:56:35It was you
00:56:36who kept picking fights deliberately.
00:56:39Isabella!
00:56:41Do you even know who I am?
00:56:43How dare you act so insolently in my presence?
00:56:46Susan.
00:56:50Wait!
00:56:51The person standing before you
00:56:53is Lady Caldwell.
00:56:54Daughter of Chancellor Caldwell.
00:56:55She's the one the empress Dodgerager
00:56:57has chosen to be empress.
00:56:59What a fool.
00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell is the esteemed
00:57:01daughter of the chancellor,
00:57:02surely you are a reasonable person.
00:57:04We have never even met his majesty.
00:57:05So how could there be any talk of seduction?
00:57:07I beg you, Lady Caldwell, spare me.
00:57:10I heard from Eleanor
00:57:11that you not only seduced his majesty,
00:57:13but also entangled yourself with the guards.
00:57:15That face of yours
00:57:16is too dangerous to keep in.
00:57:21Stop!
00:57:32Stop!
00:57:42The Imperial Household Bureau
00:57:44is part of the harem.
00:57:45Since when is it your place to interfere?
00:57:47A mere old servant
00:57:50dares to raise your voice in front of me?
00:57:52You!
00:57:52How dare you!
00:57:54His majesty and I grew up together.
00:57:56I'm the only candidate for emphasis.
00:57:58The harm will be mine sooner or later.
00:58:00Dealing the lowly maid
00:58:01is nothing to me.
00:58:03Preposterous!
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 a lesson,
00:58:12you'll never learn your 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 at heart.
00:58:26Her majesty truly
00:58:27misjudged you.
00:58:29You dare call yourself
00:58:30her majesty?
00:58:31Who are you taking yourself for?
00:58:32The Empress Dowager?
00:58:32A disfigured old wretch like you
00:58:40dare to use the title
00:58:41of the Empress Dowager.
00:58:42It seems you've grown
00:58:43tired of living.
00:58:44It seems you still refuse
00:58:45to admit your wrongdoing.
00:58:46What wrong have I done?
00:58:48You born into lowly status
00:58:50can only be servants
00:58:51in the palace
00:58:51to defy your superiors
00:58:53and 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 reduce His Majesty.
00:59:08Such behaviors
00:59:08as a dangerous example.
00:59:10This is unforgivable.
00:59:11Fetch my way.
00:59:11The Supreme 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
00:59:39and save Evelyn Sterling.
00:59:41What did you say?
00:59:42Evelyn's in danger.
00:59:48His Majesty?
00:59:50His humble mate
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!
01:00:35Do 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?
01:00:59Her 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!
01:01:10Your 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?
01:05:29Why should
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!
01:05:44If you help
01:05:45escape,
01:05:45I shall be
01:05:46forever
01:05:46endowed
01:05:47it to
01:05:47you.
01:05:50Evelyn
01:05:51Sterling?
01:05:56Not bad.
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
01:06:07praise.
01:06:08Your majesty,
01:06:09terrible news!
01:06:10The office
01:06:10of discipline
01:06:11is on fire!
01:06:11What?
01:06:12What?
01:06:12Sir,
01:06:19what is the
01:06:21situation
01:06:21inside?
01:06:22The fire
01:06:22has engulfed
01:06:22the entire
01:06:23rear courtyard.
01:06:23nearly half
01:06:24the people
01:06:24couldn't
01:06:24make it
01:06:25out.
01:06:26Anna
01:06:26Caldwell.
01:06:33Your majesty!
01:06:39Your majesty!
01:06:40This humble
01:06:41subject has come to
01:06:42realize my
01:06:42mistakes.
01:06:43I beg you
01:06:44to spare me
01:06:45from this
01:06:45punishment.
01:06:46The office
01:06:46of discipline
01:06:47is a place
01:06:47I cannot
01:06:47enjoy even
01:06:48for a single
01:06:48day longer!
01:06:49As long
01:06:50as you're
01:06:50alive,
01:06:51at least
01:06:51this allows
01:06:52me to
01:06:52account for
01:06:52your
01:06:53well-being
01:06:53to your
01:06:53father.
01:06:54Enough!
01:06:55With your
01:06:55temperament,
01:06:56staying in
01:06:56the office
01:06:56of discipline
01:06:57would serve
01:06:57no purpose.
01:06:58Next month,
01:06:59you shall be
01:06:59the one
01:07:00to marry
01:07:00into Lior
01:07:01Empire.
01:07:02What?
01:07:03I married
01:07:04a lie?
01:07:05What?
01:07:06Are you
01:07:06unwilling?
01:07:07Or would
01:07:08you prefer
01:07:08to continue
01:07:09staying in
01:07:09the office
01:07:10of discipline?
01:07:12No!
01:07:12this humble
01:07:15subject humbly
01:07:16obeys your
01:07:17majesty's decree.
01:07:18I shall
01:07:19depart for
01:07:20the marriage
01:07:21alliance next
01:07:22month.
01:07:23However,
01:07:24I have an
01:07:25impertinent
01:07:25request.
01:07:26I was able
01:07:27to escape
01:07:27this calamity.
01:07:28Thanks to
01:07:29Josephine Sterling
01:07:30risking her
01:07:30life to save,
01:07:31I dare to
01:07:32ask that
01:07:32your majesty

01:07:33Josephine
01:07:34Sterling

01:07:35I pay
01:07:36your respects
01:07:36to your
01:07:37majesty.
01:07:41I remember
01:07:42Josephine
01:07:43is your
01:07:43sister.
01:07:45Tell me,
01:07:47how should
01:07:48I reward
01:07:48her?
01:07:52Empress
01:07:52Dowger,
01:07:53we were
01:07:54never close
01:07:55since childhood.
01:07:56Our bond
01:07:56is not strong.
01:07:57I don't get
01:07:58a say in
01:07:58this.
01:08:01Since you
01:08:01have agreed
01:08:02to the
01:08:02marriage
01:08:02alliance,
01:08:03then so
01:08:03be it.
01:08:04Let's go
01:08:05back.
01:08:07Thank you
01:08:08for your
01:08:08grace.
01:08:18Evelyn
01:08:19Sterling,
01:08:20I thought
01:08:21you had
01:08:22sword high
01:08:22already.
01:08:24Turns out
01:08:25you're still
01:08:25that low.
01:08:27You've ruined
01:08:27our parents
01:08:28and montags.
01:08:29And also
01:08:30got me thrown
01:08:30into the
01:08:31office of
01:08:31discipline.
01:08:32About that,
01:08:34I will make
01:08:36sure you
01:08:36pay it.
01:08:46Edmund,
01:08:47let me
01:08:47out,
01:08:48please.
01:08:49This is
01:08:49driving me
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
01:09:16of discipline.
01:09:17After
01:09:18everything you
01:09:18put us
01:09:19through,
01:09:20you still
01:09:20have the
01:09:20guts to
01:09:21come back?
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
01:09:34at her,
01:09:35huh?
01:09:36I saw
01:09:37her once
01:09:38at the
01:09:38office of
01:09:38discipline.
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?
01:09:56Spring
01:09:56Blossom
01:09:56Banquet

01:09:58All the

01:10:02opportunity.

01:10:12Don't
01:10:15worry.
01:10:17At the
01:10:17banquet,
01:10:18I'll
01:10:18impress
01:10:19everyone.
01:10:20As long

01:10:50You cannot afford
01:10:50any mistakes.
