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?
00:00:44Don't call me sister!
00:00:45You're unworthy!
00:00:46We are both daughters of the Sterling family, why should you live better than me?
00:00:50If only Adrian Montague caught my bridal pole, three years ago…
00:00:55This thing being over is nothing but an illusion.
00:01:02If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.
00:01:25Master, 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.
00:03:13Once 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 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 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.
00:05:39It 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.
00:05:48Now this will be quite the spectacle. The esteemed Lady Evelyn will marry a beggar? Everyone is watching.
00:05:54If 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 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!
00:06:51What?
00:06:52My name is Evelyn Sterling. What's yours?
00:07:02I am Lu-
00:07:04Lucas 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.
00:07:53I've never seen someone so easily content.
00:07:55He'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!
00:08:33Indeed marry him!
00:08:34Since you want to marry him, don't blame us in the future. You won't get a share of the coming glory of us.
00:08:43I understand.
00:08:44The matchmaking is concluded. Everyone disperse.
00:08:51Sister, 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.
00:09:08Hmph!
00:09:09You-
00:09:19In three days, remember to come to propose.
00:09:22It's her or mother's pressing. So I might as well-
00:09:26Alright! I'll be there.
00:09:28I'll be there.
00:09:33Today, the second daughter of the Sarlene family is to be wed.
00:09:37Her dowry includes a pair of gold Phoenix hairpins laid with precious gems,
00:09:41plenty boats of fine brocade,
00:09:43three land deeds for silk shops in the Eastern District.
00:09:46Lady Josephine Sterling's salary is worth a fortune.
00:09:49Yet Lady Evelyn Sterling has nothing at all.
00:09:51They're both daughters of the Sarlene family.
00:09:53But the difference between them is astonishing.
00:09:55Sister, after marrying a beggar, you will likely toil for the rest of your life.
00:10:00I wonder if you can even endure such life.
00:10:10It's the bridegroom. The bridegroom has arrived.
00:10:14Oh, as expected of the second son of the Montague family, the spectacle is grand indeed.
00:10:20Of course, the Montagues hold immense power.
00:10:22Marrying 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.
00:10:45Sister, 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.
00:11:06My lady.
00:11:17My lady.
00:11:18Are you here to beg for the alms or take a bride?
00:11:20Dressed in such rags, do you not feel ashamed?
00:11:22Compared to Lord Montague, you are as far apart as heaven and earth.
00:11:26Just what are you wearing in front of so many esteemed officials?
00:11:31Are you not bringing shame upon me?
00:11:33Today is your wedding day.
00:11:35And yet you came dressed like this?
00:11:37Do you not find this is a disgrace?
00:11:39Do you not finding this humiliating?
00:11:41Marriage is a lifelong commitment, building upon sincerity, not mere appearances.
00:11:45The man I, Evelyn Sterling, have chosen is not one whose worth can be swayed by idle words.
00:11:50Have you not embarrassed us enough?
00:11:52Master, do not be angered. From the moment Evelyn steps beyond this threshold, she'll no longer be a Sterling.
00:12:01The auspicious hour has arrived! Bring the bride to the carriage!
00:12:12This is the...
00:12:16Congratulations, Master Sterling. Your son-in-law is truly an exceptional man.
00:12:21Many thanks, Deputy Minister. Please come inside.
00:12:26Off to you.
00:12:30Surely you didn't arrive on foot today.
00:12:33On such a big day, will you have the bride walk all the way to your home?
00:12:38Unheard of.
00:12:40Indeed. Not like my husband.
00:12:46My lady, please, allow me to take you home.
00:12:49Bow to the heavens and the earth.
00:13:11Is this the place they've found us to live in?
00:13:13Mm-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.
00:13:24Mm-mm.
00:13:25And bow to each other as husband and wife.
00:13:28The ceremony is complete!
00:13:29My lady, I have put you through hardship, having a life with me in such a shabby place.
00:13:43Not at all. I actually think it's rather spacious. At least, it shields us from the wind and rain.
00:13:49If we work hard from now on, keep this place tidy. It'll soon feel much more comfortable.
00:13:57At this moment, I have nothing of value to give you.
00:13:59The shade pendant was left to me by my father. I've carried it with me all these years. And now, I'm giving it to you.
00:14:09It's so precious. Are you certain of it?
00:14:16All right. I will cherish it well.
00:14:22You're up! Breakfast is ready. For you.
00:14:50For you.
00:14:53Hi. Where are you going?
00:14:56Today is the wives' homecoming day. I made telemeds for my parents, but they're not quite finished.
00:15:01I need to buy some more threats and complete them before I return home.

00:15:27The palace is too complicated. Once everything's settled, I'll reveal my identity to Evelyn.

00:15:35They're here for Victor.
00:15:40Yes, yes. I used to serve in the palace. These are all old acquaintances.
00:15:48Evelyn, I'll help Victor to entertain the guests. Will you be all right buying threat on your own?
00:15:52Yes.

00:22:03that is from lucas give it back
00:22:06that wretched beggar he will never possess such a fine pendant he must have stolen it from somewhere
00:22:14would right have you to make such rash accusations lucas may not be of noble birth like you but you
00:22:19believe that possessing a jade pendant is a rightful due yet lucas is not worthy of the same a worthless
00:22:24beggar's gift and you treat it like a treasure how ignorant you want the pendant very well but you
00:22:31must sever all ties with the sterling's you father will you truly indulge josephine's audacity
00:22:43am i not also your daughter you insisted on marrying a beggar bringing shame upon the sterling family
00:22:50you are unworthy to be my daughter on this day forth i have only one daughter josephine
00:22:55for the rest of my life i seek only to be with the one who is true of heart
00:23:07even if i must live on plain fair it is better than enduring cold to stay in the sterling's
00:23:13since that is the case
00:23:14hi evelyn sterling severe all ties with the sterling family we're here and forth strangers
00:23:31all for the sake of a worthless beggar you would sever ties with us it is fortunate we never placed our
00:23:47hopes in you
00:23:48is that not what father has always thought of why should i remain here only to be an eyesore to
00:23:56hold it now that you wish to leave i fear it is too late guards bring the burning charcoal from the
00:24:06kitchen scattered them across the board what are you trying to do your majesty something
00:24:13careful has happened lady evelyn was humiliated at the sterling estate
00:24:16once body and soul are bestowed by one's parents if you wish to sever ties you must first repay your
00:24:28parents kindness my lady speaks most reasonably given your current state it would be far too much to
00:24:34expect that you present anything of great value then you have no choice but to walk barefoot
00:24:39across this bed of burning charcoal
00:24:41it is pleasing so fiercely how could anyone survive walking across them i will not walk
00:24:50oh it seems dear sister that you no longer want this jade pendant

00:25:06very well i'll never allow his heartfelt gift to be trampled a couple i will walk
00:25:19for the sake of a filthy beggar you would go to such lengths you must have lost your mind
00:25:38for a mere jade pendant a lady born into privilege would willingly walk across burning charcoal no wonder
00:25:44she was foolish enough to marry a mere beggar after all what does a beggar have to his name but worthless
00:25:49trinkets this jade pendant is likely his most treasured possession no wonder dear sister cherishes it so
00:25:58the jade pendant was left to me by my father i've carried it with me all these years now i'm giving it to

00:41:18This one here is the steward of the Bureau, Ma'am Langston
00:41:23If you need anything, just go to her
00:41:25Greetings, Ma'am Langston
00:41:28This one here is a newly arrived maid, Evelyn Sterling
00:41:33In the days to come, please take good care of her, Ma'am Langston
00:41:36Rest assured, I will take good care of Miss Evelyn
00:41:40I definitely won't let her do heavy work
00:41:43Lucas, I came here to work, right?
00:41:51Why does it feel like I'm being treated like a mistress?
00:41:59She...
00:42:00Maybe she's a nice person
00:42:02Miss Evelyn, please come with me
00:42:11Go ahead
00:42:13You, clean all of these thoroughly
00:42:29You and I both work at the Imperial Household Bureau
00:42:32The tasks are assigned in advance
00:42:34Why should I be the one to do your work?
00:42:36You've got the nerves to ask
00:42:37It's because of you that I ended up cleaning the toilet bowl
00:42:40Some people must have used certain means to land a post here
00:42:43And somehow even earned Ma'am Langston's favor
00:42:45She got all the Yeezy's work assigned to you
00:42:47Hey!
00:42:54Give it back to me!
00:43:07The Dragon Jade Pendant?
00:43:09There's something only His Majesty can wear
00:43:11Hurry in and inform Madam Langston
00:43:12Someone is stealing!
00:43:14Oh Majesty!
00:43:15Give it back to me!
00:43:16Rain, help!
00:43:16Rain, help!
00:43:16Rain, help!
00:43:26What are you waiting for?
00:43:32Grab her!
00:43:34Everyone, stop right there!
00:43:35Your Grace
00:43:42The Imperial Household Bureau is such a crude place
00:43:45You have never come here before
00:43:47It might harm your noble health
00:43:49Allow me to announce your arrival
00:43:51No need
00:43:52This time I am disguised as a Bureau Matron
00:43:54Because I want to truly know Evelyn Sterling
00:43:57She must never learn of my identity
00:44:00Palace rules are strict
00:44:10I was only gone for a little while
00:44:12And you dare behave so wildly
00:44:14What do you take the Imperial Household Bureau for?
00:44:16Ma'am!
00:44:17She stole His Majesty's Jade Pendant
00:44:19The one thing most forbidden in the harm is thee
00:44:23She feared being exposed
00:44:24And even tried to harm me
00:44:26Ma'am!
00:44:27You must punish her properly
00:44:28Ma'am Linsden
00:44:30Please let me explain
00:44:31This isn't what happened
00:44:33Enough!
00:44:34Hand over the Jade Pendant
00:44:36The pendant
00:44:40Belongs to me
00:44:41I said
00:44:44Hand over the Jade Pendant
00:44:46The Dragon Jade Pendant
00:45:01It truly belongs to His Majesty
00:45:03The Dragon Jade Pendant
00:45:06It truly belongs to His Majesty
00:45:08The Emperor even gave her something this important?
00:45:11She even dares to steal His Majesty's Pendant
00:45:14In the future who knows what outrageous things she might do
00:45:17Palace rules are very clear
00:45:18Anyone caught stealing goods worth more than one dollar
00:45:21Will have their left foot cut off and be branded
00:45:24Ma'am
00:45:24Please listen to my explanation
00:45:26This pendant was given to me by someone very dear to me
00:45:29It was definitely not stolen
00:45:31I truly don't know how it could belong to His Majesty
00:45:34We confirm the pendant belongs to my son
00:45:36Wouldn't that expose us to your identity?
00:45:38No
00:45:39We can't rely on the object to prove there was theft involved
00:45:43I'll thoroughly investigate this matter until the truth is found
00:45:46The pendant will remain with me
00:45:48If you are truly innocent
00:45:49I will make things right for you
00:45:51Thank you, Ma'am
00:45:53This is the new steward, Madam Williams
00:45:56From now on
00:45:57She will work with me to manage the Bureau
00:45:59All of you behave yourselves
00:46:01Anyone who tries to be sneaky or lazy
00:46:03Will be punished according to Palace rules
00:46:05Yes, Ma'am
00:46:06Your bullying of your colleague has not been settled yet
00:46:14You are to clean toilet bowl as punishment
00:46:16You may eat only when you finish
00:46:18Yes, Ma'am
00:46:22Oh, isn't this much better
00:46:41Your Majesty
00:46:51Miss Caldwell has come to the palace again today
00:46:54Do you wish to see her?
00:46:55No
00:46:55Tell her to go back where she came from
00:46:57This
00:46:58You
00:46:59Go back
00:47:00I'm going to see Evelyn
00:47:02If you follow me, you'll expose my identity
00:47:04Out of the way
00:47:05Evelyn
00:47:09Evelyn
00:47:11Lucas
00:47:15Why are you here?
00:47:19How can Madam Langston let you do this kind of work?
00:47:22I'll go speak with her
00:47:23I'll go speak with her
00:47:25Lucas
00:47:26It's just cleaning a toilet bowl
00:47:30It's not a big deal
00:47:31Evelyn
00:47:32I
00:47:36I'm sorry you had to endure this
00:47:46I promise I'll find a way
00:47:47To get you out of here as soon as possible
00:47:49By the way
00:47:51The Jade Pendant of yours
00:47:53What's the story behind it?
00:47:54Why is it that they keep saying that the pendant belongs to His Majesty?
00:47:59Uh, my father
00:48:00My father once won first place in the Imperial Exam
00:48:03To encourage outstanding scholars
00:48:05His Majesty rewarded him with the Jade Pendant
00:48:07This is how it came into our hands
00:48:08Oh
00:48:09I see
00:48:10All they say is His Majesty
00:48:11His Majesty
00:48:12I thought maybe you were lying to me
00:48:14Who's there?
00:48:23It's Madam Willems
00:48:24Hurry and go
00:48:24Go let her see you
00:48:25Tomorrow
00:48:26I'll come to see you tomorrow again
00:48:27Madam
00:48:35All the toilet bowls have been cleaned
00:48:38Cleaned already?
00:48:40Then go sweep the entire back courtyard
00:48:42Yes, ma'am
00:48:47Finally done with everything
00:48:50Why are you throwing my things?
00:49:04Madam Williams gave orders herself
00:49:05She said at first light tomorrow
00:49:07You're to deliver her medicine
00:49:08Ma'am said
00:49:09The medicine must be boiled with morning dew
00:49:11Tonight
00:49:12You should wait outside
00:49:13Morning dew
00:49:14Morning dew
00:49:16Everyone heard it
00:49:19I'm not making it up
00:49:20Why is Madam Williams always picking on me?
00:49:23Madam Williams already
00:49:24Showed me mercy by
00:49:25Not punishing for the theft last time
00:49:27All she asked was for you
00:49:28To collect the morning dew
00:49:29You should be grateful
00:49:29The pendant wasn't stolen at all
00:49:31Stop falsely accusing me
00:49:32Not stolen?
00:49:33Are you saying His Majesty
00:49:34Gave it to you himself?
00:49:45The night air is damned with dew
00:49:46I'm going inside to get my own blanket
00:49:48Is that not allowed?
00:49:49What arrogance
00:49:50This is the Imperial Palace
00:49:52There's no such thing as yours or mine
00:49:54Don't think that's just because
00:49:54Malin lost
00:49:55So you can do whatever you want
00:49:56Who said you could come in?
00:50:00Move aside
00:50:01Avalyn
00:50:08Avalyn
00:50:12Are you alright?
00:50:14Who did this?
00:50:15Victor Langley
00:50:17Victor Langley
00:50:17Victor Langley
00:50:17Why is he here?
00:50:18Could it be that he is
00:50:20You want to die?
00:50:23Your Majesty
00:50:24You're the Emperor
00:50:30You're His Majesty
00:50:33Insolent Servant
00:50:36You must never let her discover your true identity
00:50:42My deepest apologies
00:50:53My deepest apologies, Your Majesty
00:50:54I merely saw someone injured
00:50:55And acted out of concern
00:50:56Fortunately it wasn't His Majesty
00:51:01But
00:51:02Hasn't Master Langley been by His Majesty's side?
00:51:06Master Langley
00:51:06What is going on here?
00:51:09Oh
00:51:10This young guy in here
00:51:11He makes a striking resemblance to His Majesty
00:51:14I specifically brought him to the palace to interrogate him
00:51:16Uh-uh
00:51:18Hey
00:51:19You, 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
00:51:24I acknowledge my error
00:51:26Madam Langston
00:51:28I beg your pardon
00:51:29It's entirely my fault
00:51:30For causing this young officer concern
00:51:32If you understand your error
00:51:33Then leave at once
00:51:34As for you
00:51:45Fraternizing with the guards is a grave matter
00:51:50Yet Madam Williams nearly punished her
00:51:52With kneeling
00:51:52The last time she stole a jade pendant
00:51:54That incident was also swept under the rug
00:51:56Tell me
00:51:58If His Majesty knew she had stolen his jade pendant
00:52:01How do you think he would handle her?
00:52:04I 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 ball?
00:52:32I obtained the recipe from a tower
00:52:34Who claimed it could
00:52:35Enhance one's beauty
00:52:36When consumed
00:52:37I only wished
00:52:41To do what was best for Madam Williams
00:52:43Which is why I acted so foolishly
00:52:44How dare you serve something
00:52:46Of unknown origin to ma'am
00:52:48If this rash on her face
00:52:49Does not fade
00:52:50How will you atone for this?
00:52:53Madam
00:52:53Guards!
00:52:54Drag her away
00:52:55And sell her to a slave trader
00:52:57Madam Williams
00:52:58Have mercy!
00:52:59Madam!
00:52:59Have mercy!
00:53:00Please!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:02Madam have mercy!
00:53:04Madam!
00:53:06Madam
00:53:06May 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
00:53:20If
00:53:24If my myths prove effective
00:53:29I beg you, Madam
00:53:30To spare Isabella's life
00:53:32His majesty has not paid me attention for a long time
00:53:45Yet I hear
00:53:47He has recently been visiting Imperial Household Bureau
00:53:49Tell me who could be in the Imperial Household Bureau
00:53:52To capture his majesty's interest so deeply
00:53:54I don't know
00:53:56I know nothing
00:53:57Speak!
00:54:02I remember now
00:54:03There is indeed someone
00:54:04Who dares to do such a thing
00:54:05Oh?
00:54:06It may not look appealing
00:54:18But
00:54:19It is true
00:54:20That the rash
00:54:20Has faded somewhat
00:54:21It seems
00:54:25You do have some skill
00:54:26Thank you for your praise
00:54:29Madam
00:54:29Adam
00:54:29You need to only wait
00:54:31Six more hours
00:54:32And the rash
00:54:33Will completely disappear
00:54:34What are you trying to do now?
00:54:55Thank you
00:54:55If it weren't for you today
00:55:03I might have already been taken away
00:55:05As for what happened before
00:55:07I owe you an apology
00:55:08I will accept any punishment
00:55:10Or scolding you see fit
00:55:11Why would I scold you?
00:55:23So you're willing to forgive me?
00:55:27You're not
00:55:28Entirely a bad person
00:55:29It's just
00:55:31That your words
00:55:32Can be utterly vicious
00:55:34Let's go
00:55:42Her majesty
00:55:47I believe
00:55:49That his majesty's insistence
00:55:51On making Lady Evelyn
00:55:52The Empress
00:55:52Does not seem like
00:55:53A mere impulse
00:55:54Lady Evelyn
00:55:56Truly possesses
00:55:57Remarkable qualities
00:55:58Let's see you
00:56:01To chestnut cake
00:56:01It was her
00:56:03It was you
00:56:13Who seduced his majesty
00:56:14With a stuck
00:56:18The face of yours
00:56:19No wonder
00:56:19You can't stay
00:56:20Out of trouble
00:56:20His majesty
00:56:21Finding a bride
00:56:22Outside the palace
00:56:23Is not there
00:56:23But when did
00:56:25Your lowly servant
00:56:26Dare to entertain
00:56:27Such wicked thoughts
00:56:28When did Evelyn
00:56:29Ever seduce his majesty
00:56:30Isabella
00:56:31Have you forgotten
00:56:32How much we suffered
00:56:33Because of her
00:56:33Evelyn never once
00:56:34Provoked me intentionally
00:56:35It was you
00:56:36Who kept picking fights
00:56:37Deliverly
00:56:38Isabella
00:56:39Do you even know
00:56:42Who I am?
00:56:43How dare you act
00:56:43So insolently
00:56:44In my presence
00:56:45Caesar
00:56:46Caesar
00:56:47Wait
00:56:51The person standing
00:56:52Before you
00:56:53Is Lady Caldwell
00:56:54Daughter of Chancellor Caldwell
00:56:55She's the one
00:56:56The Empress
00:56:56Dodge Rager
00:56:57Has chosen to be
00:56:58Empress
00:56:58What a fool
00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell
00:57:00Is the esteemed
00:57:01Daughter of the Chancellor
00:57:02Surely you are
00:57:03A reasonable person
00:57:03We have never even
00:57:04Met his majesty
00:57:05So how could there be
00:57:06Any talk of seduction
00:57:07I beg you Lady Caldwell
00:57:08Spare me
00:57:09I heard from Eleanor
00:57:11That you not only
00:57:12Seduce his majesty
00:57:13But also entangled
00:57:14Yourself with the guards
00:57:15That face of yours
00:57:16Is too dangerous
00:57:17To keep
00:57:18Stop
00:57:24Stop
00:57:34The Imperial Household Bureau
00:57:44Is part of the harem
00:57:45Since when
00:57:46Is it your place
00:57:46To interfere
00:57:47A mere old servant
00:57:50There is to raise
00:57:50Your voice
00:57:51In front of me
00:57:51You
00:57:52How dare you
00:57:53His majesty
00:57:55And I grew up together
00:57:56I am the only
00:57:57Candidate for emphasis
00:57:58The harm
00:57:58Will be mine
00:57:59Sooner or later
00:58:00Dealing the lowly
00:58:01May
00:58:01Is nothing to me
00:58:02Preposterous
00:58:03Do you even know
00:58:04Who stands before you
00:58:06Aren't you just
00:58:08A lowborn servant
00:58:10If I don't teach you
00:58:12A lesson
00:58:12You'll never learn
00:58:13Your place
00:58:13Restrainer as well
00:58:16Eleanor
00:58:17You wouldn't dare
00:58:18I never expected
00:58:24You to be so
00:58:24Venomous at heart
00:58:25Her majesty
00:58:26Truly misjudged you
00:58:28Huh
00:58:28You dare call yourself
00:58:30Her majesty
00:58:30Who are you taking
00:58:31Yourself for
00:58:32The Empress Dowager
00:58:32A disfigured old
00:58:39Rich like you
00:58:40Dare to use the title
00:58:41Of the Empress Dowager
00:58:42It seems you
00:58:42Have grown tired of living
00:58:44It seems you still
00:58:44Refuse to admit
00:58:45Your wrongdoing
00:58:46What wrong have I done
00:58:48You born into
00:58:49Lowly status
00:58:50Can only be servants
00:58:51Of the palace
00:58:51To defy your superiors
00:58:53Is to seek death
00:58:54You
00:58:54Lady 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 of the Imperial House of Europe
00:59:05You have allowed your mage to reduce his majesty
00:59:07Such behaviors as a dangerous example
00:59:09This is unforgivable
00:59:10Fetch my way
00:59:11The spring blossom banquet will be held at the beginning of next month
00:59:20This year all the nobles and dignitaries will be in attendance
00:59:22Everything must be prepared perfectly
00:59:24Your majesty rest assured
00:59:26I will spare no effort in ensuring its success
00:59:29You insolent servant
00:59:32How dare you disturb his majesty
00:59:34His majesty
00:59:36This humble mate greets your majesty
00:59:38I beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling
00:59:41What did you say?
00:59:42Evelyn's in danger
00:59:43His majesty
00:59:49This humble mate greets your majesty
00:59:52I beg your majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling
00:59:54What did you say?
00:59:56Evelyn's in danger
00:59:57What are you doing?
01:00:10It was me who offended Lady Cabell
01:00:12And I got wish for him
01:00:13Who suffered punishment on my account
01:00:15Since you're so eager to play the hero
01:00:19I shall grant your wish today
01:00:20Enough!
01:00:22Anna Caldwell
01:00:23Her majesty advises you not to go too far
01:00:25Otherwise
01:00:26You called yourself her majesty again?
01:00:28You reckless wretch
01:00:29Today I shall teach you the rules on behalf of the Empress Dowager
01:00:32Anna Caldwell
01:00:32Do you know who you are about to whip?
01:00:38Your majesty
01:00:38I greet the Empress Dowager
01:00:42I greet her majesty
01:00:45The Empress Dowager?
01:00:47How did you 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
01:01:02But she never expected you to be so insolent
01:01:05How dare you overstep and offend her majesty herself?
01:01:10Your majesty
01:01:10This humble subject admits her fault
01:01:12I failed to recognize that you were the Empress Dowager
01:01:15I beg your majesty for forgiveness
01:01:17I beg the Emperor for mercy
01:01:18The Emperor
01:01:20This humble official believes this matter is of great importance
01:01:27It concerns the dignity of the Empress Dowager
01:01:28I implore your majesty
01:01:29To carefully consider the matter
01:01:31Exactly
01:01:37How could you dare to offend the Empress Dowager?
01:01:42Admit your fault at once
01:01:43This humble subject admits my fault
01:01:45Your majesty
01:01:47It was this wretched maid
01:01:48She told me
01:01:49To seduce his majesty
01:01:51This is why I lost my composure
01:01:53Lady Caldwell
01:01:54It was clear to you
01:01:56Simon
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
01:02:02Has spread rumors and caused trouble
01:02:04Take her away and sell her at once
01:02:06The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox
01:02:08Has spread rumors and caused trouble
01:02:10Take her away and sell her at once
01:02:11Your majesty have mercy
01:02:13I did not spread rumors
01:02:14I saw Evelyn flirting with the guards
01:02:16I truly did not spread rumors
01:02:18Your majesty
01:02:18I beg your majesty
01:02:20You are the eldest daughter of the sturdy family
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
01:02:27You've overstepped your place
01:02:29And still dare 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 humble subject admits her fault
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
01:02:45Where is her majesty taking them?
01:02:57I will reveal my identity to her and make her my empress
01:03:10There is no need to rush the coronation
01:03:12The Ministry of Rights is preparing for the Spring Blossom Banquet next month
01:03:15They may not have enough resources to manage both
01:03:19Moreover, this matter is too sudden
01:03:33I'm concerned the other ministers may object
01:03:35Mother
01:03:37Why not let Evlu organize the Spring Blossom Banquet
01:03:40If she can manage this banquet
01:03:42It will not only prove her capability
01:03:43But also make her coronation more acceptable to everyone
01:03:46Her majesty wants you to take charge of the Spring Blossom Banquet
01:03:50Me?
01:03:51I don't know how to organize it
01:03:54Don't worry, trust your abilities
01:03:58You shall triumph
01:04:00I'll also assist you behind the scenes
01:04:05Alright
01:04:09Get moving all of you
01:04:15If anyone dares to slack off
01:04:17My whip shows no mercy
01:04:20Useless fool!
01:04:25Do you still think you're a pampered young lady?
01:04:28Huh?
01:04:29Once you're in the Office of Discipline
01:04:30No one gets to laze around
01:04:32Everyone Sterling, this is all your fault!
01:04:42Get in!
01:04:43Don't touch me!
01:04:44I'm the daughter of Chancellor Cladwell
01:04:46But I better show some respect!
01:04:53The daughter of Chancellor Cladwell?
01:04:55In my past half, Adrian Montauk was promoted by the Empress Derweger during the Spring Blossom Banquet
01:05:00If I can escape this wretched place
01:05:03And find a way to bring Adrian to the Spring Blossom Banquet
01:05:06I can surely turn things around
01:05:14What a wretched place!
01:05:15They expect me, a lady, to wash my clothes myself?
01:05:21Where did this lowly maid come from?
01:05:23I...
01:05:25Lady, I have an urgent request
01:05:28When?
01:05:29Why should I help you?
01:05:30I am of noble birth
01:05:32Were it not for this temporary misfortune
01:05:35You wouldn't even be worthy to speak to me
01:05:40My elder sister Evelyn Sterling is the reason I was in prison here
01:05:43If you help escape, I shall be forever indebted to you
01:05:49Evelyn Sterling?
01:05:51Not bad
01:05:57The banquet itinerary is clear and well structured
01:05:59It is evident that much effort was put into it
01:06:01And 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! Terrible news!
01:06:09The Office of Discipline is on fire!
01:06:11What?
01:06:12Sir, what is the situation inside?
01:06:21The fire has engulfed the entire rear courtyard
01:06:23Nearly half the people couldn't make it out
01:06:25Anna Caldwell
01:06:26Your majesty!
01:06:27Your majesty!
01:06:28This humble subject has come to realize my mistakes!
01:06:30I beg you to spare me from this punishment
01:06:33The Office of Discipline is a place I cannot enjoy even for a single day longer!
01:06:35As long as you're alive, at least this allows me to account for your well-being to your father
01:06:41Enough!
01:06:42With your temperament staying in the office of the office of the discipline is a place I cannot enjoy even for a single day longer!
01:06:48As long as you're alive, at least this allows me to account for your well-being to your father
01:06:53Enough!
01:06:54With your temperament staying in the Office of Discipline would serve no purpose!
01:06:58Next month you shall be the one to marry into Lior Empire
01:07:02What?
01:07:03A marriage ally?
01:07:05What?
01:07:06Are you unwilling?
01:07:07Or would you prefer to continue staying in the Office of Discipline?
01:07:11No!
01:07:13This humble subject humbly obeys your majesty's decree
01:07:18I shall depart for the marriage alliance next month
01:07:22However, I have an impertinent request
01:07:26I was able to escape this calamity
01:07:28Thanks to Josephine Sterling risking her life to save
01:07:31I dare to ask that your majesty release Josephine Sterling from the Office of Discipline
01:07:35I pay your respects to your majesty
01:07:37I remember
01:07:42Josephine is your sister
01:07:44Tell me
01:07:46How should I reward her?
01:07:49Empress Dowager
01:07:51We were never close since childhood
01:07:55Our bond is not strong
01:07:57I don't get a say in this
01:07:59Since you have agreed to the marriage alliance, then so be it
01:08:03Let's go back
01:08:05Thank you for your grace
01:08:07Thank you for your grace
01:08:08Evelyn Sterling
01:08:18Evelyn Sterling
01:08:20I thought you had sword height already
01:08:23Turns out you're still that low
01:08:26You've ruined our parents and montags
01:08:29And also got me thrown into the Office of Discipline
01:08:32About that
01:08:34I will make sure you pay it
01:08:41Hey
01:08:46Edmund, let me out please
01:08:48This is driving me crazy
01:08:50You don't get to complain
01:08:55If 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
01:09:08Husband!
01:09:10Why are you back?
01:09:13The Empress Dowager pardoned me
01:09:15I'm released from Office of Discipline
01:09:16After everything you put us through
01:09:19You still have the guts to come back?
01:09:21Edmund, it's all because Evelyn
01:09:24Instead of blaming each other here
01:09:26You should think how to get back at her
01:09:29Huh, get 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 maid's uniform
01:09:42I don't think she's royal
01:09:44A palace maid?
01:09:46Could it be that His Majesty married her on a whim?
01:09:50Totally!
01:09:52If His Majesty really liked her, why would she be wearing that uniform?
01:09:55Spring Blossom Banquet is coming
01:09:57All the nobles will be present then
01:10:01It's the perfect opportunity
01:10:03Spring Blossom Banquet
01:10:05We're invited too
01:10:07So I can go then?
01:10:10What are you scheming this time?
01:10:12Mark?
01:10:14Don't worry
01:10:16At the banquet
01:10:18I'll impress everyone
01:10:20As long as I win the Empress Dowager's favor
01:10:22Our family will rise again
01:10:23It's gonna be all nobles and high officials
01:10:35Check everything thoroughly
01:10:36You cannot afford to any mistakes
01:10:37Stop worrying
01:10:38We've confirmed every detail multiple times already
01:10:39There won't be any problems
01:10:41Let's hope so

01:11:35Avalyn
01:11:36Once the banquet ends, wait for me here. I 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!
01:12:01Oh right, you're on duty today. Let's hurry back.
01:12:10Remember, wait for me here.
01:12:13Okay, take these.
01:12:19Hey, 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.
01:12:31This is the Imperial Palace. Not your place, alright?
01:12:40Everything you do here is washed by his majesty and the Empress Gouger.
01:12:44You were just released. Have you learned your lesson?
01:12:48My husband and I were invited here as honored guests for the banquet. You're nothing but a maid.
01:12:55If 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.
01:13:09What do you mean?
01:13:10I want to destroy you. From head to toe.
01:13:15Greetings, Empress Gouger.
01:13:17Greetings, Empress Gouger.
01:13:19Greetings, Empress Gouger.
01:13:23Evelyn.
01:13:24Preparing 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.
01:13:45I wish to report Evelyn's improper relationship with the guard.
01:13:51Oh?
01:13:53I saw it with my own eyes. Evelyn and a guard were extremely intimate.
01:13:58When caught, they tried to cover it up. If they're this bold in broad daylight, who knows what they do in secret.
01:14:03Your Highness, I did have a contact with the guard. But before entering the palace, we already had developed feelings. In the palace, we only met occasionally. There was nothing improper.
01:14:16If you weren't guilty, why did you hurry away in that moment you saw us? This should be punishable by death.
01:14:23Your Highness, I insist them on seeing him. If this matter deserves punishment, please spare the guard's life.
01:14:33Huh? Since neither of you are innocent, Your 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?
01:14:46You two want me to execute the guard?
01:14:51You two want me to execute the guard?
01:14:55In 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. She's redeemed herself. I have decided to spare her from punishment.
01:15:08Bye!
01:15:09Evelyn, lead me to the banquet site.
01:15:11Yes.
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, we can just...
01:15:48Your Majesty, the banquet is that way. Where are you going? It's about to begin. You'll be late.
01:15:54I've thought it over. I should let her know the truth before the banquet.
01:15:58Go tell Evelyn. To meet me will reward before.
01:16:00What?
01:16:04Eunuch Lanely.
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.
01:16:21That's great. Someone 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 as a dancer. Lord Montague took the blow for Her Majesty, and the assassin escaped.
01:16:42What?
01:16:44Take her away.
01:16:46What are you doing?
01:16:47There is an assassin. We are arresting Evelyn to the judicial court.
01:16:50What? 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 Caldwell. She was in charge of the palace banquet.
01:17:11How dare you? How dare you plan assassination against the Empress Dowager?
01:17:15Are you rebelling?
01:17:17I'm not. I personally verify the identity of everyone. I have no idea where the assassin came from.
01:17:24Of course you don't. Right 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?
01:17:33Chancellor, 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.
01:17:41Why hasn't Evelyn come yet?
01:17:44Why hasn't Evelyn come yet?
01:17:48Lucas.
01:17:49Sir, here's the guard.
01:17:51Are you alright, Lucas?
01:17:52Evelyn Sterling. How do you plead?
01:17:53Please investigate thoroughly. Since you're an assassin, it's my fault indeed. I only beg you not to implicate anyone else.
01:17:57The palace is heavily guarded. An outsider could never get in. Evelyn must have secretly colluded with the assassin. If not, for my husband's quick reaction.
01:18:10You should have been executed by now.
01:18:11Chancellor, I really don't know about the assassin. I beg you to grab me some time. I will cover the truth behind this matter.
01:18:15Enough. Made Evelyn Sterling colluded with the guard, disrupted palace order, and put the Empress Tower in danger.
01:18:16Both of them are to be executed immediately.
01:18:17I will be executed immediately.
01:18:18I can't implicate anyone else.
01:18:19I can't implicate anyone else.
01:18:20The palace is heavily guarded. An outsider could never get in. Evelyn must have secretly colluded with the assassin. If not, for my husband's quick reaction.
01:18:25You should have been executed by now.
01:18:28Chancellor, I really don't know about the assassin. I beg you to grab me some time. I will cover the truth behind this matter.
01:18:33Enough. Made Evelyn Sterling colluded with the guard, disrupted palace order, and put the Empress Tower in danger.
01:18:41Both of them are to be executed immediately.
01:18:51No. Chesler, we broke over water. Chesler, I'm begging. Chesler. Chesler, don't. Chesler, please. Chesler.
01:19:01Chesler! Chesler, I'm sorry. It's not my fault. I'm so sorry.
01:19:24Stop now. Don't you dare touch her.
01:19:27Your majesty. Long live your majesty.
01:19:37Long live your majesty.
01:19:41How dare you, condemning the innocent, without discerning right from wrong. This is totally outrageous.
01:19:49You keep going against Evelyn at every turn. Today, if I weren't here, you would have gotten your way.
01:20:01Your majesty, I... I didn't meant to hurt my sister.
01:20:04Your majesty, Evelyn was in charge of the banquet, but she allowed assassins in to hurt the Empress Tower. I beg you. Your majesty issue an order at once to imprison her for further interrogation.
01:20:13Chesler was right. If it weren't for my husband's presence today, the Empress Tower might not have survived.
01:20:19Your majesty, my life is of no consequence, but Evelyn must be punished.
01:20:23If this happens again, who will protect the palace?
01:20:35Police. You must punish Evelyn.
01:20:39Adrian Montague. Are you making decisions for me?
01:20:42The Empress Tower has been traumatized today. If your majesty does not punish Evelyn, what if others follow her example?
01:20:48The consequences will be unimaginable. I request your majesty to punish Evelyn.
01:20:52I beg your majesty to punish Evelyn.
01:20:54I beg your majesty to punish Evelyn.
01:20:56Is that so? If I have evidence that Evelyn's innocent, what should you be punished for?
01:21:11What the fuck?
01:21:13Possible.
01:21:14Nicholas. I'm asking you!
01:21:17They're fine. What's wrong about her? I'm willing to receive the same punishment.
01:21:23Okay. Come on. Bring them to me.
01:21:30Your majesty is wise. Following your orders, I've already arranged for guards to capture the assassin.
01:21:37Your majesty, spare me. The assassination was all Josephine and Andrea's idea. I was truly forced into it. Your majesty, spare me. Your majesty, please spare me.
01:21:46It's over. It's all over.
01:21:48Guards, take Nicholas away.
01:21:50Your majesty, I've been serving the royals for decades.
01:21:55I'm absolutely loyal. Your majesty, please don't do this to me. Your majesty!
01:22:01Her majesty!
01:22:06Her majesty!
01:22:07It's for you two.
01:22:08Your majesty! Your majesty! This has nothing to do with me. It was all her. She ordered me to do it.
01:22:13You're lying!
01:22:14Your majesty, I was only jealous of my sister. The assassination was all Adrian's idea. And taking the flu was all part of this act. Your majesty!
01:22:22Damn it! How dare you betray me!
01:22:24Enough!
01:22:25Adrian Montague, Josephine Sterling, as masterminds, will be executed right now.
01:22:31Lock Catherine in the judicial court. Wait for further orders.
01:22:37Your majesty! Your majesty!
01:22:39Your majesty!
01:22:40Your majesty!
01:22:41Please give me a chance, your majesty! Your majesty! Your majesty!
01:22:42Your majesty!
01:22:43Your majesty!
01:22:44I hate you!
01:22:45I live down for you!
01:22:46All of this would have been mine!
01:22:48Your love.
01:22:49It's all because of yourself, not me.
01:22:52You brought all of this upon yourself.
01:22:56It's all because of yourself!
01:22:59Hello!
01:23:03You brought all of this upon yourself.
01:23:04Evelyn.
01:23:07Hi.
01:23:10So. Your majesty.
01:23:12What is your real name?
01:23:16Lucian Prescott.
01:23:19Lucian Prescott?
01:23:21Now the criminals have been taken away, your majesty and your highness, you can finally be together.
01:23:31My highness.
01:23:34From today onward, I will make you empress.
01:23:42Starting today, the concubines will be dismissed.
01:23:45The harem only has one leader.
01:23:47And that will be my empress.
01:23:53British!
01:23:55Long live your highness.
