Transcript

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

00:00:05bestow the title of First Rank Lady of Honor, by Imperial Decree.

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

00:00:21Murder!

00:00:22Murder!

00:00:23Duh!

00:00:24Someone's been killed!

00:00:26Murder!

00:00:27Murder!

00:00:28Murder!

00:00:41Sister...

00:00:42What?

00:00:43uous licensed documents, AT&T%&

00:00:45Don't call me Sister!!

00:00:45You are unworthy!

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

00:00:47Why should you live better than me!?

00:00:49If only Adrian Montag caught my bridal bowl, 3 years ago!

00:00:55A slow recovery is nothing but an illusion.

00:01:02If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.

00:01:25Master, 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.

00:01:40For 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!

00:02:38Tim, 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!

00:02:47I actually altered my fate. Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank, and I shall become a noble lady of honor!

00:02:58Josephine, you have screamed relentlessly. But 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.

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

00:03:20Sister, what do you say?

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

00:03:29Evelyn, Lady Luck is with me this time. In this life, I will never let you overshadow me again.

00:03:36That 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.

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

00:03:59Hurry, you starlings are just the bridal ball for marriage!

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

00:04:05In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal ball. I had to run away and then suffer a lot.

00:04:11This 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.

00:04:26Mother, how could you say such a thing?

00:04:28Sister has always been lucky and she would never bring shame upon us.

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

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

00:04:46In this life, I seek only a true companion to live a peaceful life till the end.

00:04:51It's him.

00:04:52It's him. It's him. The beggar that Josephine ran away from.

00:05:09Oh no! It actually went to a beggar!

00:05:16Sister! 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 into 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! Cease her! Don't let her escape!

00:06:05Master, how did this bridal bull end up in your hands? What should we do now? It's the Scottish!

00:06:11I'm dressed in such rags. She won't agree.

00:06:17Sister, why are you running? You cast the bridal bull yourself!

00:06:22You damn girl! Look at the filthy beggar you've got!

00:06:25If he becomes my son-in-law, it's going to be a huge disgrace to us!

00:06:33In my past life, I was mistreated by the Montagues and used for Sterling's ambitions.

00:06:38Thinking back now, perhaps marrying a beggar would be better fate.

00:06:43The rule of the bridal ball is binding. Since he caught the ball, you should...

00:06:48I am willing to marry him.

00:06:50What?

00:06:51My name is Evelyn Sterling. What's yours?

00:06:52I am Lu...

00:06:53Lucas Prescott.

00:06:54With all present as my witnesses today, I, Evelyn Sterling.

00:06:57Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband?

00:06:58Are you serious?

00:06:59Huh.

00:07:02Yeah.

00:07:03Yeah.

00:07:05Wow.

00:07:06My name is Evelyn Sterling. What's yours?

00:07:07I am Luc...

00:07:10Lucas Prescott.

00:07:12my witnesses today.

00:07:14I, Evelyn Stirling.

00:07:16Willing take Lucas Prescott

00:07:18as my husband?

00:07:24Are you serious?

00:07:27Yeah.

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

00:07:31You wanna

00:07:32reject me?

00:07:34I didn't.

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

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

00:07:41Are you sure?

00:07:42We're not disabled or something.

00:07:46We may be poor now, but we can always

00:07:47earn our money.

00:07:50We can work hard

00:07:51to make a living ourselves.

00:07:54I've never seen someone

00:07:55so easily content.

00:07:57He's just a filthy beggar!

00:07:59You're really gonna marry him?

00:08:01Evelyn, you're sure

00:08:03about this? Marry this

00:08:05beggar, and your future

00:08:07is ruined! I do not believe

00:08:09that is true. Future won't be

00:08:11decided like that.

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

00:08:14but I can see his humility

00:08:16and good manner.

00:08:18He's gonna make a difference, maybe.

00:08:20You are...

00:08:21Rule is rule.

00:08:23You're not eating your words,

00:08:25are you, sir?

00:08:25Indeed.

00:08:26If he refuses,

00:08:28that's breaking the rules

00:08:29and gonna ruin their reputation.

00:08:31Seems well,

00:08:31she has to marry him.

00:08:32Indeed, marry him!

00:08:33Indeed, marry him!

00:08:34Indeed, marry him!

00:08:35Since you wanna marry him,

00:08:37don't blame us in the future.

00:08:39You won't get a share

00:08:41of the coming glory of us.

00:08:42I understand.

00:08:44The matchmaking is concluded.

00:08:47Everyone disperse.

00:08:51Sister,

00:08:52no hard feelings.

00:08:55But marrying a beggar

00:08:57means you will spend

00:08:59your life beneath me.

00:09:01You should worry about yourself.

00:09:04Life with the Montague's

00:09:05is not as easy

00:09:07as you imagine.

00:09:08Hmph!

00:09:09You...

00:09:16In three days,

00:09:22remember to come to propose.

00:09:23It's her or Mother's pressing.

00:09:26So I might as well...

00:09:27Alright!

00:09:28I'll be there.

00:09:34Today,

00:09:35the second daughter

00:09:35of the Silent Family

00:09:36is to be wed.

00:09:38Her dowry includes

00:09:39a pair of

00:09:39gold phoenix hairpins

00:09:40and laid with

00:09:41precious gems,

00:09:42plenty of boats

00:09:43of fine brocade,

00:09:44three land deeds

00:09:45for silk shops

00:09:46in the Eastern District.

00:09:47Lady Josephine Sterling's

00:09:48salary is worth

00:09:49a fortune.

00:09:50Yet Lady Evelyn Sterling

00:09:51has nothing at all.

00:09:52They're both daughters

00:09:53of the Sterling family,

00:09:54but the difference

00:09:54between them

00:09:55is astonishing.

00:09:56Sister,

00:09:57after marrying a beggar,

00:09:58you will likely

00:09:59toil for the rest

00:10:00of your life.

00:10:00I wonder if you

00:10:01can even endure

00:10:02such life.

00:10:02Hmph!

00:10:03Hmph!

00:10:04Hmph!

00:10:05Hmph!

00:10:06Hmph!

00:10:07Hmph!

00:10:08Hmph!

00:10:09It's the bridegroom.

00:10:12The bridegroom

00:10:12has arrived.

00:10:15Oh,

00:10:16as expected

00:10:17of the second son

00:10:18of the Montague family,

00:10:19the spectacle

00:10:20is grand indeed.

00:10:21Of course,

00:10:21the Montagues

00:10:22hold immense power.

00:10:23Marrying into their family,

00:10:24Lady Josephine Sterling

00:10:25will live a life

00:10:26of endless luxury.

00:10:27Unlike Evelyn,

00:10:28marrying a beggar,

00:10:29this will certainly

00:10:30be an interesting

00:10:30sight to behold.

00:10:32My respects to my

00:10:33honor,

00:10:33father,

00:10:33and mother-in-law.

00:10:34Please rise,

00:10:35my son-in-law.

00:10:35My son-in-law.

00:10:36Such an elaborate

00:10:37wedding procession

00:10:39is a spectacle

00:10:39worthy of Highgate

00:10:41for our dear Josephine

00:10:42to be regarded

00:10:43so highly by you

00:10:44as an honor

00:10:45to the Sterling family.

00:10:49Sister,

00:10:51the auspicious hour

00:10:52is nearly over.

00:10:53Why has your husband

00:10:53not come for you?

00:10:55Could it be that

00:10:55he's not coming at all?

00:10:57I,

00:11:04your humble son-in-law,

00:11:05greet my honored

00:11:06father-in-law.

00:11:12My lady.

00:11:17My lady.

00:11:18Are you here to beg

00:11:19for the alms

00:11:19or take a bride?

00:11:21Dressed in such rags,

00:11:22do you not feel ashamed?

00:11:23Compared to Lord Montague,

00:11:25you are as far apart

00:11:25as heaven and earth.

00:11:28Just what are you wearing

00:11:29in front of so many

00:11:31esteemed officials?

00:11:32Are you not bringing

00:11:33shame upon me?

00:11:34Today is your wedding day

00:11:36and yet you came

00:11:37dressed like this?

00:11:38Do you not find

00:11:39this is a disgrace?

00:11:40Do you not finding

00:11:41this humiliating?

00:11:42Marriage is a lifelong

00:11:43commitment,

00:11:44building upon sincerity,

00:11:45not mere appearances.

00:11:46The man I,

00:11:47Evelyn Sterling,

00:11:48have chosen

00:11:48is not one whose worth

00:11:50can be swayed

00:11:50by idle words.

00:11:51Have you not

00:11:52embarrassed us enough?

00:11:54Master,

00:11:55do not be angered.

00:11:56From the moment

00:11:57Evelyn steps beyond

00:11:59this threshold,

00:12:00she'll no longer

00:12:01be a Sterling.

00:12:02The auspicious hour

00:12:03has arrived.

00:12:04Bring the bride

00:12:05to the carriage.

00:12:06This is dead.

00:12:17Congratulations,

00:12:18Master Sterling.

00:12:19Your son-in-law

00:12:20is truly an exceptional man.

00:12:24Many thanks,

00:12:25Deputy Minister.

00:12:26Please come inside.

00:12:27Off to you.

00:12:28Surely you didn't arrive

00:12:32on foot today.

00:12:34On such a big day,

00:12:35will you have the bride

00:12:36walk all the way

00:12:37to your home?

00:12:39Unheard of.

00:12:40Indeed.

00:12:41Not like my husband.

00:12:46My lady,

00:12:47please,

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

00:12:49Bow to the heavens

00:13:09and the earth.

00:13:11Is this the place

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

00:13:14Bow to the elders.

00:13:16A shabby place like this?

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

00:13:23I just didn't want you

00:13:24to blow your cover.

00:13:25And bow to each other

00:13:26as husband and wife.

00:13:28The ceremony is complete!

00:13:38My lady,

00:13:39I have put you

00:13:40through hardship

00:13:40having a life with me

00:13:42in such a shabby place.

00:13:43Not at all.

00:13:44I actually think

00:13:46it's rather spacious.

00:13:48At least,

00:13:48it shields us

00:13:49from the wind and rain.

00:13:52If we work hard

00:13:53from now on,

00:13:53keep this place tidy,

00:13:55it'll soon feel

00:13:56much more comfortable.

00:13:56At this moment,

00:13:58I have nothing of value

00:13:59to give you.

00:14:01The shade pendant

00:14:02was left to me

00:14:03by my father.

00:14:04I've carried it

00:14:05with me all these years.

00:14:07And now,

00:14:08I'm giving it

00:14:09to you.

00:14:14It's so precious.

00:14:16Are you certain of it?

00:14:20Alright.

00:14:21I will cherish it well.

00:14:26You're up.

00:14:49Breakfast is ready.

00:14:50For you.

00:14:51Hi.

00:14:55Where are you going?

00:14:57Today is the wife's

00:14:58homecoming day.

00:14:59I made telemeds

00:15:00from my parents,

00:15:01but they're not

00:15:01quite finished.

00:15:02I need to buy

00:15:02some more threats

00:15:03and complete them

00:15:04before I return home.

00:15:05Alright.

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

00:15:07Alright.

00:15:09Let's go.

00:15:21Greetings,

00:15:21your ma-

00:15:27The palace

00:15:28is too complicated.

00:15:29Once everything's settled,

00:15:30I'll reveal my identity

00:15:31to Evelyn.

00:15:32They are...

00:15:33They're here

00:15:36for Victor.

00:15:41Yes, yes.

00:15:42I used to serve

00:15:43in the palace.

00:15:44These are all

00:15:44old acquaintances.

00:15:46Evelyn,

00:15:49I'll help Victor

00:15:50to entertain the guests.

00:15:51Will you be alright

00:15:52buying threat

00:15:52on your own?

00:15:55Yes.

00:15:56Hmm.

00:16:08Speak!

00:16:09What happened?

00:16:10The Empress Dowager

00:16:10distressed over

00:16:11your majesty's presence

00:16:12and suddenly collapsed.

00:16:13What?

00:16:14Victor,

00:16:14stay here

00:16:15and protect Evelyn.

00:16:16Let's head back.

00:16:17Yes,

00:16:18Get someone

00:16:19to deliver

00:16:20some valuable gifts

00:16:20to Sterling Estate.

00:16:22Say that

00:16:22they're Evelyn's

00:16:23homecoming gift.

00:16:24Yes,

00:16:24your majesty.

00:16:25Let's go.

00:16:26Father,

00:16:27mother,

00:16:28your daughter

00:16:29has returned.

00:16:31Father?

00:16:32Why has

00:16:33sister returned

00:16:34returned alone?

00:16:35I have returned alone?

00:16:35I have returned alone.

00:16:39Today is your homecoming day.

00:16:42Sister,

00:16:42why have you returned alone?

00:16:44Are you ashamed

00:16:45of your beggar husband?

00:16:47So you didn't even bring him

00:16:48to meet the family?

00:16:49My husband wanted to come,

00:16:51but something urgent came up.

00:16:53Since being married

00:16:54to the beggar,

00:16:55Lady Evelyn Sterling,

00:16:56must have suffered

00:16:57a great deal.

00:16:58You look much frailer

00:16:59than before.

00:16:59Had you not married

00:17:02that filthy beggar,

00:17:04perhaps I would have

00:17:04taken you as a concubine.

00:17:06At least you wouldn't

00:17:06have fallen to such a state.

00:17:08That will not be necessary.

00:17:10I am living well.

00:17:11As of for you,

00:17:12sister,

00:17:13it has been quite a few days

00:17:14since you had seen

00:17:15your husband before.

00:17:16You...

00:17:17Ugh.

00:17:18Screw you,

00:17:19Adrian.

00:17:19Went drinking with

00:17:20corsets on our wedding night

00:17:22and now everyone knows

00:17:23we have utterly

00:17:24humiliating me.

00:17:25Josephine.

00:17:26Ha ha ha ha ha.

00:17:29Father,

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

00:17:38have the face to come back?

00:17:39What does your husband

00:17:40do all day?

00:17:41Not even accompanying you

00:17:43for your homecoming.

00:17:44Mother,

00:17:45you're thinking

00:17:46too highly of her.

00:17:47That filthy beggar

00:17:48is probably begging

00:17:49in the streets right now.

00:17:51How could he possibly

00:17:52compare to my husband?

00:17:55Father-in-law,

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

00:17:56has brought a small gift.

00:17:58Oh,

00:17:58our dear Josephine

00:18:04has truly found

00:18:05herself a fine husband.

00:18:07For our daughter

00:18:07to marry such

00:18:08a fine gentleman,

00:18:09it must be the blessing

00:18:10she has earned

00:18:11over eight lifetimes.

00:18:12Unlike someone

00:18:14who chose a beggar

00:18:15as her husband,

00:18:16our sterling family

00:18:17has raised you

00:18:18for so many years

00:18:19and yet you come back

00:18:20empty-handed

00:18:21on your homecoming day.

00:18:22Huh.

00:18:23Indeed,

00:18:24sister.

00:18:25This is my

00:18:26homecoming gift.

00:18:27Have you fallen

00:18:28into such poverty

00:18:29that you cannot

00:18:29even afford

00:18:30a proper

00:18:31homecoming gift?

00:18:38Father,

00:18:39mother,

00:18:40these are the two

00:18:41protective talamans

00:18:42I made for you

00:18:42by hand.

00:18:43A blessing to you both.

00:18:44Wishing you peace

00:18:45and prosperity.

00:18:49Get out!

00:18:51What a disgrace!

00:18:53Sister,

00:18:54is this truly

00:18:55what you've brought?

00:18:56A few scraps of cloth

00:18:57with embroidery.

00:18:59How dare you present these?

00:19:01Well,

00:19:01she did marry a beggar,

00:19:02so her gift

00:19:03befits her status perfectly.

00:19:05All right.

00:19:08She has married a beggar.

00:19:10What else

00:19:10could we expect

00:19:11from her?

00:19:17Master,

00:19:18madame,

00:19:19someone from the palace

00:19:20has arrived with gifts.

00:19:21They say they are

00:19:21the homecoming gifts

00:19:22from Lady Evelyn.

00:19:27Master Sterling,

00:19:28who exactly

00:19:28has your eldest daughter

00:19:30married a mountain nobility?

00:19:31Even the palace

00:19:31saw fit to have me

00:19:32personally deliver

00:19:33these gifts to you.

00:19:34You must hold

00:19:34great influence indeed.

00:19:36Gifts from the palace?

00:19:37Then it must be

00:19:38from his majesty himself.

00:19:39It was personally

00:19:40arranged by the

00:19:40chief eunuch

00:19:41at his majesty's side.

00:19:42He said,

00:19:43for the Sterling family's

00:19:45eldest daughter.

00:19:50Mr. Ashford,

00:19:52you must be mistaken.

00:19:54All of Highgate knows

00:19:55that Evelyn

00:19:56married a beggar.

00:19:58How could she possibly

00:19:59have ties to anyone

00:20:01in the palace?

00:20:02Oh,

00:20:03this must surely

00:20:04be a courtesy

00:20:05to young

00:20:07Master Montague?

00:20:10Indeed.

00:20:11In this world,

00:20:12those seeking favor

00:20:13with the Montague family

00:20:14are countless.

00:20:15Even those in the palace

00:20:16are paying their respects.

00:20:18Father-in-law,

00:20:19please accept with joy.

00:20:22Josephine has married

00:20:23a remarkable husband.

00:20:25Just look at the grandeur

00:20:26of her homecoming.

00:20:27Such lavish gifts.

00:20:29Our Sterling family

00:20:30is truly honored

00:20:30beyond measure.

00:20:31The 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

00:20:43two sets of homecoming gifts.

00:20:45Seeing all these,

00:20:46do you not feel ashamed?

00:20:48It's not about the quality

00:20:49of gifts,

00:20:50but the sincerity

00:20:50behind them.

00:20:51I see nothing inappropriate

00:20:52in this.

00:20:53I've poured my heart

00:20:55and effort into raising you,

00:20:56and yet,

00:20:56not only did you marry

00:20:57a beggar,

00:20:58but you even bring back

00:20:59these worthless rags

00:21:00to disgrace me.

00:21:01The Sterling family

00:21:01has no place

00:21:02for such a disgraceful daughter.

00:21:05Simply because

00:21:05I married Lucas,

00:21:07you feel justified

00:21:08to humiliate me like this.

00:21:09Josephine acts

00:21:10in the best interest

00:21:11of the Sterling family,

00:21:12unlike you,

00:21:13who married a beggar,

00:21:14bringing disgrace

00:21:15upon us all.

00:21:17Disgrace?

00:21:18It's only because

00:21:20Josephine married

00:21:21into wealth

00:21:21that you so readily

00:21:23indulge her.

00:21:24Insolent child!

00:21:25Such outrageous defiance!

00:21:26Who has put

00:21:27these ideas in your head?

00:21:28Is it not the truth?

00:21:31In your eyes,

00:21:33a daughter is nothing

00:21:34more than a pawn

00:21:35to secure power and favor.

00:21:37Outrageous!

00:21:38How dare you

00:21:39speak to your father

00:21:41in such a manner!

00:21:45Her dragon chain pendant?

00:21:48Outrageous!

00:21:51No,

00:21:51I must inform

00:21:52his majesty.

00:21:55Give it back to me!

00:21:57This chain pendant

00:21:58looks of fine quality.

00:22:01From where did you

00:22:02steal it, sister?

00:22:04It is from Lucas.

00:22:05Give it back!

00:22:08That wretched beggar?

00:22:09He will never

00:22:10possess such a fine pendant.

00:22:12He must have stolen

00:22:13it from somewhere.

00:22:15Would right have you

00:22:15to make such rash accusations.

00:22:17Lucas may not be

00:22:18of noble birth like you.

00:22:19But you believe

00:22:20that possessing a jade pendant

00:22:21is your rightful due.

00:22:22Yet Lucas is not

00:22:22worthy of the same.

00:22:23A worthless beggar's gift.

00:22:25And you treat it

00:22:26like a treasure.

00:22:26How ignorant.

00:22:28You want the pendant?

00:22:29Very well.

00:22:30But you must

00:22:31sever all ties

00:22:32with the sterlings.

00:22:33You...

00:22:34You...

00:22:35Father,

00:22:39would you truly indulge

00:22:41Josephine's audacity?

00:22:43Am I not also

00:22:44your daughter?

00:22:45You insisted

00:22:46on marrying a beggar.

00:22:48Bringing shame

00:22:49upon the sterling family,

00:22:50you are unworthy

00:22:51to be my daughter.

00:22:52On this day forth,

00:22:53I have only one daughter,

00:22:55Josephine.

00:22:55For the rest of my life,

00:23:04I seek only to be

00:23:05with the one

00:23:06who is true of heart.

00:23:07Even if I must live

00:23:08on plain fair,

00:23:09it is better than

00:23:10enduring cold disdain

00:23:12in the sterlings.

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

00:23:14Hi, Evelyn Sterling.

00:23:25Severe all ties

00:23:27with the sterling family.

00:23:29We're here and forth,

00:23:30strangers.

00:23:40All for the sake

00:23:41of a worthless beggar.

00:23:43You would sever ties

00:23:44with us.

00:23:45It is fortunate

00:23:46we never placed

00:23:47our hopes in you.

00:23:51Is that not

00:23:52what Father

00:23:52has always thought of?

00:23:53Why should I remain here

00:23:54only to be

00:23:55an eyesore to him?

00:23:58Hold it.

00:23:59Now that you wish

00:24:00to leave,

00:24:01I fear it is too late.

00:24:03Guards!

00:24:04Bring the burning charcoal

00:24:06from the kitchen.

00:24:07Scatter them

00:24:07across the board.

00:24:09What are you trying

00:24:10to do?

00:24:10Your Majesty,

00:24:13something terrible

00:24:14has happened.

00:24:14Lady Evelyn

00:24:15was humiliated

00:24:15at the sterling estate.

00:24:22One's body and soul

00:24:23are bestowed

00:24:23by one's parents.

00:24:25If you wish

00:24:25to sever ties,

00:24:27you must first

00:24:27repay your parents'

00:24:28kindness.

00:24:30My Lady speaks

00:24:31most reasonably.

00:24:32Given your current state,

00:24:33it would be far too much

00:24:34to expect that you present

00:24:35anything of great value.

00:24:37then you have no choice

00:24:38but to walk barefoot

00:24:39across this bed

00:24:40of burning charcoal.

00:24:43It is pleasing

00:24:44so fiercely.

00:24:45How could anyone

00:24:46survive walking

00:24:46across them?

00:24:47I will not walk.

00:24:50Oh?

00:24:51It seems,

00:24:52dear sister,

00:24:53that you no longer

00:24:54want this jade pendant.

00:24:57Stop!

00:25:00Lucas is the only one

00:25:02who has ever treated me well.

00:25:04This jade pendant

00:25:04was left to him

00:25:05by his parents.

00:25:06Farewell.

00:25:07I will never allow

00:25:08his heartfelt gift

00:25:09to be trampled.

00:25:10I will walk.

00:25:11for the sake

00:25:32of a filthy beggar,

00:25:33you would go

00:25:34to such lengths?

00:25:35You must have

00:25:35lost your mind!

00:25:37For a mere jade pendant,

00:25:39a lady born into privilege

00:25:41would willingly walk

00:25:42across burning charcoal.

00:25:43No wonder

00:25:44she was foolish enough

00:25:45to marry a mere beggar.

00:25:46After all,

00:25:47what does a beggar

00:25:47have to his name

00:25:48but worthless trinkets?

00:25:50This jade pendant

00:25:51is likely

00:25:52his most treasured

00:25:53possession.

00:25:54No wonder

00:25:55dear sister

00:25:56cherishes it so.

00:25:58The jade pendant

00:25:59was left to me

00:26:00by my father.

00:26:01I've carried it

00:26:02with me

00:26:02all these years.

00:26:04Now,

00:26:05I'm giving it

00:26:06to you.

00:26:06For me,

00:26:15my lady.

00:26:17Lucas,

00:26:18do not worry.

00:26:20I will reclaim

00:26:20the jade pendant.

00:26:21Can you

00:26:33return the jade pendant

00:26:36to me now?

00:26:38You want it?

00:26:41Then crawl over

00:26:42and take it!

00:26:43As long as you

00:26:44crawl over,

00:26:45this jade pendant

00:26:45will be yours.

00:26:46The jade pendant

00:27:03was left to me

00:27:04by my father.

00:27:04I've carried it

00:27:05with me

00:27:05all these years.

00:27:08Now,

00:27:08I'm giving it

00:27:10to you.

00:27:12All right.

00:27:14I will cherish it,

00:27:15Will.

00:27:15you claim

00:27:40to cherish

00:27:41your love

00:27:42for that filthy beggar.

00:27:43But if you

00:27:45were disfigured,

00:27:46would your

00:27:46dearest husband

00:27:47still want you?

00:27:50Why are you

00:27:51looking at me

00:27:52like that?

00:27:52I have long

00:27:53told you

00:27:54the fate

00:27:55of a woman

00:27:55who wets

00:27:56a beggar

00:27:56can only be

00:27:57one to be

00:27:58trampled upon

00:27:58at will.

00:28:00You exhaust yourself

00:28:01trying to torment me.

00:28:03But do you

00:28:04truly believe

00:28:05you're getting

00:28:05your way?

00:28:06I want you

00:28:08to spend

00:28:09the rest

00:28:09of your days

00:28:10wallowing

00:28:10in the gutter,

00:28:12watching as I

00:28:12rise to become

00:28:13the most esteemed

00:28:14woman in the world.

00:28:24His majesty

00:28:25has arrived!

00:28:26who dares

00:28:32lay a hand

00:28:33on my

00:28:33woman?

00:28:37Evelyn,

00:28:38I'm sorry.

00:28:39I'm late.

00:28:42Just leave.

00:28:43Lucas,

00:28:44I didn't

00:28:46lose your

00:28:46Jake pendant.

00:28:47Did they

00:28:53say it

00:28:53was his

00:28:54majesty?

00:28:54How could

00:28:55it be him?

00:28:55That beggar

00:28:56is dressed

00:28:57in such

00:28:57luxurious robes

00:28:58and those

00:28:59men,

00:28:59are they

00:29:00the imperial

00:29:00guards?

00:29:01Why would

00:29:01they take

00:29:01orders from

00:29:02a beggar?

00:29:02I heard

00:29:03that filthy

00:29:03beggar's

00:29:03brother

00:29:04once served

00:29:04in the

00:29:05palace.

00:29:05Is it

00:29:05natural

00:29:06for him

00:29:06to procure

00:29:07some robes?

00:29:07That wretch

00:29:08beggar

00:29:08has suffered

00:29:09humiliation

00:29:10last time

00:29:10and now

00:29:11he has

00:29:11come to

00:29:11regain his

00:29:12dignity?

00:29:12What a

00:29:13joke!

00:29:14A mere

00:29:14beggar

00:29:15daring to

00:29:15put on

00:29:16an act

00:29:16sterling

00:29:20thing,

00:29:20but to

00:29:21be so

00:29:21audacious

00:29:22as to

00:29:23steal

00:29:23from

00:29:23the

00:29:23imperial

00:29:24palace?

00:29:24If his

00:29:25majesty

00:29:25were to

00:29:25find out,

00:29:26do you

00:29:26really

00:29:26believe

00:29:27you

00:29:58so

00:29:58what?

00:29:59my dear

00:29:59sister.

00:30:00Who

00:30:00would've

00:30:00thought

00:30:01she would

00:30:01walk

00:30:02barefoot

00:30:02across

00:59:54what did you say

00:59:55evelyn's in danger

00:59:57What are you doing?

01:00:10It was me who offended Lady Cowan.

01:00:12I did not wish for him who suffered punishment on my account.

01:00:17Since you're so eager to play the hero, I shall grant your wish today.

01:00:21Enough!

01:00:22Anna Caldwell, Her Majesty advises you not to go too far, otherwise...

01:00:26You called yourself Her Majesty again, you reckless wretch?

01:00:29Today, I shall teach you the rules on behalf of the Empress Dowager!

01:00:32Anna Caldwell!

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

01:00:38Your Majesty...

01:00:39I greet the Empress Dowager!

01:00:44I greet Her Majesty...

01:00:46The Empress Dowager?

01:00:48How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?

01:00:50How 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 admits her fault.

01:01:13I failed to recognize that you were the Empress Dowager.

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

01:01:16I beg the Emperor for mercy.

01:01:19The Emperor...

01:01:23This humble official believes this matters are of great importance.

01:01:27It concerns the dignity of the Empress Dowager.

01:01:28I implore Your Majesty to carefully consider the matter.

01:01:31How could you dare to offend the Empress Dowager?

01:01:42Admit your fault at once!

01:01:43The temple subject admits my fault.

01:01:46Your Majesty...

01:01:47It was this wretched man...

01:01:48She told me...

01:01:49To seduce His Majesty...

01:01:52This is why I lost my composure.

01:01:54Lady Caldwell...

01:01:55It was clear to you...

01:01:56If it weren't for your manipulation...

01:01:57How 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 thank you, Majesty!

01:02:20You are the eldest daughter of the sturdy camera!

01:02:22How dare you!

01:02:22Anna Caldwell...

01:02:23I always believed you to be a kind-hearted...

01:02:25Yet I never expected you to be ruthless.

01:02:28You've overstepped your place...

01:02:29And still dared to dream of becoming Empress.

01:02:31You are sentenced to one year in the Office of Discipline...

01:02:33To reflect on your actions.

01:02:34Office of Discipline...

01:02:35No!

01:02:36Your Majesty!

01:02:36This almost has to get miserable!

01:02:38Your Majesty!

01:02:39Please spare me!

01:02:40I do not want to get to the Office of Discipline!

01:02:41I have questions for you.

01:02:53Where is Her Majesty taking them?

01:03:03Evelyn!

01:03:05Lucas!

01:03:06Did the Empress daughter punish you?

01:03:07Of course not.

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

01:03:12That's a relief.

01:03:14Evelyn.

01:03:17Evelyn has passed the test!

01:03:18Wonderful!

01:03:19I will reveal my identity to her and make her my Empress!

01:03:22There is no need to rush the coronation.

01:03:25The Ministry of Rights is preparing for the Spring Blotten Banquet next month.

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

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

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

01:03:38Mother!

01:03:38Why not let Evelyn organize the Spring Blotten Banquet?

01:03:41If she can manage this banquet, it will not only prove her capability, but also make her coronation more acceptable to everyone.

01:03:48Her Majesty wants you to take charge of the Spring Blotten Banquet.

01:03:51Me?

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

01:03:57Don't worry.

01:03:59Trust your abilities.

01:04:00You shall triumph.

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

01:04:02All right.

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

01:04:16If anyone there is a slack-off, my whip shows no mercy.

01:04:25Useless fool!

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

01:04:29Huh?

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

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

01:04:40Don't touch me!

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

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

01:04:54The daughter of Chancellor Caldwell?

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

01:05:01If I can escape this wretched place, and find a way to bring Adrian to the Spring Blossom Banquet, I 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 lonely 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, you 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, I shall be forever indebted to you.

01:05:50Evelyn Sterling?

01:05:56Not bad.

01:05:57The banquet itinerary is clear and well-structured.

01:05:59It is evident that much effort was put into it, and trusting you at the banquet's organization was indeed a wide choice.

01:06:05Many thanks for your majesty's praise.

01:06:07Your majesty!

01:06:08Terrible news!

01:06:09The office of discipline is on fire!

01:06:11What?

01:06:11Sir, what is the situation inside?

01:06:17The fire has engulfed the entire rear courtyard.

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

01:06:25Anna Caldwell.

01:06:27Your majesty!

01:06:34Your 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, at least this allows me to account for your well-being to your father.

01:06:54Enough!

01:06:55With your temperament, staying in the office of discipline would serve no purpose.

01:06:58Next month, you shall be the one to marry into Lior Empire.

01:07:01What?

01:07:02What?

01:07:03A marriage ally?

01:07:04What?

01:07:05Are you unwilling?

01:07:06Or would you prefer to continue staying in the office of discipline?

01:07:11No.

01:07:12This humble subject humbly obeys your majesty's decree.

01:07:17I shall depart for the marriage alliance next month.

01:07:22However, I have an impertinent request.

01:07:25I was able to escape this calamity.

01:07:27Thanks to Josephine Sterling risking her life to save,

01:07:30I dare to ask that your majesty release Josephine Sterling from the office of discipline.

01:07:35I pay your respects to your majesty.

01:07:40I remember.

01:07:42Josephine is your sister.

01:07:45Tell me.

01:07:47How should I reward her?

01:07:51Empress Dowager.

01:07:53We were never close since childhood.

01:07:55Our bond is not strong.

01:07:57I don't get a say in this.

01:08:00Since you have agreed to the marriage alliance, then so be it.

01:08:04Let's go back.

01:08:07Thank you for your grace.

01:08:09Evelyn Sterling.

01:08:10I thought you had sword height already.

01:08:23Turns out you're still that low.

01:08:26You've ruined our parents and montags.

01:08:28And also got me thrown into the office of discipline.

01:08:31About that.

01:08:32I will make sure you pay it.

01:08:34I will make sure you pay it.

01:08:44Hey.

01:08:45Edmund.

01:08:46Let me out, please.

01:08:48This is driving me crazy.

01:08:50You don't get to complain.

01:08:51If it weren't for you and Josephine, two fools, I wouldn't have offended his majesty and lost my position.

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

01:09:06The Empress Dowager pardoned me.

01:09:07I'm released from office of discipline.

01:09:08After everything you put us through, you still have the guts to come back?

01:09:21Edmund.

01:09:22It's all because Evelyn.

01:09:23Instead of blaming each other here, we should think how to get back at her.

01:09:28Huh.

01:09:29Get back at her?

01:09:31She's like royalty now.

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

01:09:35I saw her once at the office of discipline.

01:09:38She was wearing a lonely palace mace uniform.

01:09:41I don't think she's royal.

01:09:43A palace mace?

01:09:45Could it be that his majesty married her on a whim?

01:09:49Totally.

01:09:50If his majesty really liked her, why would she be wearing that uniform?

01:09:54Spring Blossom Banquet is coming.

01:09:57All the nobles will be present then.

01:10:00It's the perfect opportunity.

01:10:02Spring Blossom Banquet.

01:10:04We're invited too.

01:10:06So I can go then?

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

01:10:14Don't worry.

01:10:16At the banquet, I'll impress everyone.

01:10:19As long as I win the Empress Dowager's favor, our family will rise again.

01:10:27It's gonna be all nobles and high officials. Check everything thoroughly. We cannot afford any mistakes.

01:10:36Stop worrying. We've confirmed every detail multiple times already. There won't be any problems.

01:10:45Let's hope so.

01:10:46Avalyn.

01:10:47Avalyn.

01:10:48Avalyn.

01:10:49Avalyn.

01:10:50If you like these pastries, I can get you more.

01:10:51Avalyn.

01:10:52Avalyn.

01:10:53Avalyn.

01:10:54Avalyn.

01:10:55Hmm?

01:10:56Avalyn.

01:10:57Avalyn.

01:10:58Avalyn.

01:10:59Avalyn.

01:11:00Avalyn.

01:11:01Hmm?

01:11:02If you like these pastries, I can get you more.

01:11:04Glad this is a remote with no patrols otherwise, I get meat like this.

01:11:05Leave no patrols otherwise I can't meat like this.

01:11:23I can't operate.

01:11:29You have a special seat to the overrun room, hold your distance.

01:11:33Evelyn, once the banquet ends, wait for me here. I've got something to tell you.

01:11:42Alright, I'll wait for you here.

01:11:52Husband, look over there!

01:11:58Evelyn, and a palace guard!

01:12:03Oh right, you're on duty today. Let's hurry back.

01:12:10Remember, wait for me here.

01:12:12Okay, take these.

01:12:18Hey, you really can't go a moment without a man. Just got tossed aside by his majesty and now, you're ready with the guard.

01:12:28This is the Imperial Palace. Not your place, alright? Everything you do here is washed by his majesty and the Empress Gouger. They were just released. Have you learned your lesson?

01:12:47My husband and I were invited here as honored guests for the banquet. You're nothing but a maid. If you serve us well, I may reward you. If not, you'll get kicked out.

01:13:01You were lucky to have gone away last time. No one can protect you this time.

01:13:08What do you mean?

01:13:10I want to destroy you. From head to toe.

01:13:16Greetings, Empress Gouger.

01:13:27Greetings, Empress Gouger.

01:13:30Evelyn.

01:13:31Preparing the banquet must be exhausting. Once it is over, I will reward you properly.

01:13:37It's just my duty. Thanks for your grace.

01:13:41Your Highness, I have something to say.

01:13:44Speak.

01:13:46I wish to report Evelyn's improper relationship with the guard.

01:13:51Oh?

01:13:53I saw it with my own eyes.

01:13:55Evelyn and a guard were extremely intimate.

01:13:58When caught, they tried to cover it up.

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

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

01:14:09But before entering the palace, we already had developed feelings.

01:14:12In the palace, we only met occasionally.

01:14:15There was nothing improper.

01:14:16If you weren't guilty, why did you hurry away in that moment you saw us?

01:14:21This should be punishable by death.

01:14:25Your Highness, I insist on seeing him.

01:14:28If this matter deserves punishment, please spare the guard's life.

01:14:33Huh? Since neither of you are innocent.

01:14:36Your Highness, please summon the guard and execute them.

01:14:40Yes, Your Highness, punish them both to uphold palace discipline.

01:14:44You two want me to execute the guard?

01:14:51You two want me to execute the guard?

01:14:56In the palace, it is indeed forbidden for palace maids and guards to mingle.

01:15:00But Evelyn, for organizing the banquet, put in great effort.

01:15:04She's redeemed herself. I have decided to spare her from punishment.

01:15:08Bye!

01:15:09Evelyn, lead me to the banquet site.

01:15:12Yes.

01:15:25Farewell, Your Highness.

01:15:27She escaped again.

01:15:29Why is she always so lucky?

01:15:32First the Emperor protected her, and now the Empress dowager.

01:15:35Even she was entrusted with the whole banquet?

01:15:37Since she's in charge of the banquet...

01:15:40We can just...

01:15:47Your Majesty, the banquet is that way. Where are you going?

01:15:51It's about to begin. You'll be late.

01:15:52I've thought it over. I should let her know. The truth is before the banquet.

01:15:57Go tell Evelyn. To meet me will reward before.

01:16:01What?

01:16:04Eunuch Langley.

01:16:05Come here.

01:16:15What's going on?

01:16:16You've done a great job this time. They are talking about how good the banquet is. Even an Empress dowager looks pleased.

01:16:22That's great.

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

01:16:27Who is it?

01:16:30Assassins! Protect the Empress Dowager!

01:16:35What's going on inside?

01:16:37An assassin disguised in Sedan, sir. Lord Montague took the blow for Her Majesty, and the assassin escaped.

01:16:41What?

01:16:43Take her away.

01:16:46What are you doing?

01:16:47There is an assassin. We are arresting Evelyn to the Judicial Court.

01:16:51What? Me?

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

01:17:01Maid Evelyn Sterling. He's the Prime Minister.

01:17:04So, she's the one who harmed Dana?

01:17:07Chancellor Cogwell. She was in charge of the palace banquet.

01:17:10How dare you? How dare you plan assassination against the Empress Dowager? Are you rebelling?

01:17:17I'm not. I personally verify the identity of everyone. I have no idea where the assassin came from.

01:17:23Of course you don't.

01:17:25Right before the banquet, you were secretly meeting with the guard. You were so affectionate that you just ignore everything around you.

01:17:31What? Is this true?

01:17:32What? Is this true?

01:17:33Chancellor, I can testify. That very guard is still at the Ministry of Rights.

01:17:38Someone. Bring that guard here. I will get to the bottom of this.

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

01:17:45Focus?

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

01:18:00Are you alright, Lucas?

01:18:02Here's the garden.

01:18:04Are you alright, Lucas?

01:18:07Evelyn Sterling, how do you plead?

01:18:10Please investigate thoroughly.

01:18:12Since there's an assassin, it'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, if not from a husband's quick reaction.
