Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Lady Evelyn Sterling from the Montagues, a woman of virtue, diligent and gentle, hereby
00:00:05bestow the title of First 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!
00:00:25Someone's been killed!
00:00:27Murder!
00:00:28Murder!
00:00:29Murder!
00:00:41Sister?
00:00:43Jonas?
00:00:44Sister?
00:00:45Why…
00:00:46Don't call me sister!
00:00:47You are unworthy!
00:00:48We are both daughters of the Sterling family, why should you live better than me!
00:00:50If only centered Montegg caught my bridle bowl three years ago…
00:00:57A slow recovery is nothing but an illusion.
00:01:02If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all of these honors.
00:01:27Master, I have already spread the word.
00:01:32The noblemen from all around have heard that our daughters of the Sterling family are seeking husbands and are eager to compete for them.
00:01:40For a son-in-law of our family, at the very least, he must be a man of great status.
00:01:44You two better aim at the right man.
00:01:46Whichever of you marries well shall bring glory to our family.
00:01:49Have I been reborn just three years ago, the very day of the husband seeking bridal bond?
00:01:55My lady, it's time to cast your ball.
00:02:01Sister, please let me go first.
00:02:05In my past life, Josephine insists that I go first.
00:02:09Feigning modesty and humility.
00:02:11Yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.
00:02:20Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me! Lady Josephine, come on!
00:02:25In this life, I have to marry Adrian!
00:02:37Tim, Adrian, second son of the Montagues.
00:02:40The Montague family are relatives of the royal family, which means we shall become royal kin as well.
00:02:46I actually altered my fate.
00:02:49Three years later, Adrian shall rise in rank and I shall become a noble lady of honor.
00:02:55Josephine, you have schemed relentlessly.
00:03:00But little do you know that you're gonna suffer a lot in the evil Montague family.
00:03:04Great, great, great! The whole family is counting on you!
00:03:10Oh, stop flattering me! I'm doing this just for our family.
00:03:13Once I become Lady Montague, I shall be mindful of my words and actions bringing prosperity to our family.
00:03:19Sister, what do you say?
00:03:24You are truly fortunate. As your sister, I am happy for you.
00:03:28Evelyn, Lady Luck is with me this time. In this life, I will never let you overshadow me again.
00:03:36That is...
00:03:42Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:03:46Master, if the Empress tower you find, you're dressed like this.
00:03:51Mother'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 must darling, sir!
00:04:01The bridal ball for marriage!
00:04:02Let's have a look.
00:04:03In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal ball. 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.
00:04:15Master, our family has now secured ties with the Montagues.
00:04:20Evelyn, now it's your turn. And you better aim as close as Josephine.
00:04:25Mother, 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.
00:04:45In this life, I seek only a true companion to live a peaceful life till the end.
00:04:51It's him. It's him. The beggar that Josephine ran away from.
00:05:09Oh, oh no. It actually went to a beggar.
00:05:15Sister, what terrible luck you have. A beggar out of so many people down there. How do you expect father to hold his head high?
00:05:23Damn it! With so many people down there, how could you cast into a beggar? Are you deliberately trying to shame me?
00:05:30What's done is done, sister. Do not be too upset. Though he is of lowly birth, but look, at least he got a pretty face.
00:05:38It is only a pity for you, sister, raising comfort and luxury. But now bound to a beggar, you shall have to labor yourself to earn your bread.
00:05:47Now this will be quite the spectacle. The esteemed Lady Evelyn will marry a beggar? Everyone is watching. If she refuses, it's going to ruin their credit. Who would associate with them more?
00:05:57Hey! Hey! Hey! Cease her! Don't let her escape!
00:06:04Master, how did this bridal bull end up in your hands? What should we do now? It's the Scottish.
00:06:10I'm dressed in such rags. She won't agree.
00:06:14Sister, why are you running? You cast the bridal bull yourself!
00:06:20You damn girl! Look at the filthy beggar you've got!
00:06:25If he becomes my son-in-law, it's gonna be a huge disgrace to us!
00:06:32In my past life, I was mistreated by the Montagues and used for Sterling's ambitions.
00:06:38Thinking back now, perhaps marrying a beggar would be better fate.
00:06:42The rule of the bridal ball is binding. Since he caught the ball, you should...
00:06:47I am willing to marry him.
00:06:50What?
00:06:55What?
00:06:59My name is Evelyn Sterling. What's yours?
00:07:02I am Lu... Lucas Prescott.
00:07:07With all present as my witnesses today. I, Evelyn Sterling. Willing take Lucas Prescott as my husband.
00:07:24Are you serious?
00:07:26Yeah. 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.
00:07:49We can work hard to make a living ourselves.
00:07:53I've never seen someone so easily content.
00:07:56He's just a filthy beggar. You're really gonna marry him?
00:08:00Evelyn, you're sure about this? Marry this beggar. And your future is ruined.
00:08:07I do not believe that is true. Future won't be decided like that.
00:08:11Lucas, he may be in rags now, but I can see his humility and good manner.
00:08:17He'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. I'm gonna ruin their reputation. Seems well, she has to marry him.
00:08:31Indeed, marry him. Indeed, marry him.
00:08:33Indeed, marry him.
00:08:35Since you wanna marry him, don't blame us in the future. You won't get a share of the coming glory of us.
00:08:42I 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.
00:09:01You should worry about yourself. Life with the Montague's is not as easy as you imagine.
00:09:08You...
00:09:16In three days, remember to come to propose.
00:09:23It's her or mother's pressing. So I might as well...
00:09:27Alright, I'll be there.
00:09:29Today, 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, plenty of boats of fine brocade, three land deeds for silk shops in the Eastern District.
00:09:46Lady Josephine Sterling's salary is worth a fortune. Yet Lady Evelyn Sterling has nothing at all.
00:09:51They are both daughters of the Sarlene family. But the difference between them is astonishing.
00:09:55Sister, after marrying a beggar, you will likely toil for the rest of your life. I wonder if you can even endure such life.
00:10:02It's the bridegroom. The bridegroom has arrived.
00:10:12Oh, as expected of the second son of the Montague family, the spectacle is grand indeed.
00:10:20Of course, the Montagues hold immense power. Marrying into their family, Lady Josephine Sterling will live a life of endless luxury.
00:10:26Unlike Evelyn, marrying a beggar, this will certainly be an interesting sight to behold.
00:10:31My respects to my honor, father and mother-in-law.
00:10:33Please rise, my son-in-law.
00:10:35My son-in-law.
00:10:36Such an elaborate wedding procession is a spectacle worthy of Highgate.
00:10:40For our dear Josephine to be regarded so highly by you is an honor to the Sterling family.
00:10:49Sister, the auspicious hour is nearly over. Why has your husband not come for you?
00:10:54Could it be that he's not coming at all?
00:11:03I, your humble son-in-law, greet my honored father-in-law.
00:11:11My lady.
00:11:16My lady.
00:11:17Are you here to beg for the alms or take a bride? Dressed in such rags, do you not feel ashamed?
00:11:22Compared to Lord Montague, you're as far apart as heaven and earth.
00:11:27Just what are you wearing? In front of so many esteemed officials, are you not bringing shame upon me?
00:11:33Today is your wedding day. And yet you came dressed like this? Do you not find this is a disgrace? Do you not finding this humiliating?
00:11:41Marriage is a lifelong commitment, building upon sincerity, not mere appearances. The men I, Evelyn Sterling, have chosen. It's not one whose worth can be swayed by idle words.
00:11:50Have you not embarrassed us enough?
00:11:54Master, 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.
00:12:20Many thanks, Deputy Minister. Please come inside.
00:12:25Off to you.
00:12:27Surely you didn't arrive on foot today.
00:12:31On such a big day, will you have the bride walk all the way to your home?
00:12:36Unheard of.
00:12:38Unheard of.
00:12:39Indeed. Not like my husband.
00:12:46My lady, please, allow me to take you home.
00:12:49Unheard of.
00:12:50Unheard of.
00:13:08BOW to the heavens and the earth!
00:13:11Is this the place you have found us to live in?
00:13:13Bow to the elders.
00:13:20A shabby place like this, is it even fit for a living?
00:13:23I just didn't want you to blow your cover.
00:13:25And bow to each other as husband and wife.
00:13:34The ceremony is complete!
00:13:38My lady, I have put you through hardship, having a life with me in such a shabby place.
00:13:43Not at all. I actually think it's rather spacious.
00:13:48At least, it shields us from the wind and rain.
00:13:52If 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.
00:14:01The shade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:14:04I've carried it with me all these years.
00:14:06And now, I'm giving it to you.
00:14:13It's so precious.
00:14:16Are you certain of it?
00:14:20Alright.
00:14:21I will cherish it well.
00:14:23You're up.
00:14:48Breakfast is ready.
00:14:50For you.
00:14:54Hi.
00:14:55Where are you going?
00:14:57Today is the wife's homecoming day.
00:14:59I made telemes for my parents, but they're not quite finished.
00:15:02I need to buy some more threads and complete them before I return home.
00:15:05Alright.
00:15:06I'll go with you.
00:15:07Alright.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:09Greetings, your ma-
00:15:15Greetings, your majesty.
00:15:20Greetings, your majesty.
00:15:21Greetings, your ma-
00:15:22Who are they?
00:15:27The palace is too complicated.
00:15:29Once everything's settled, I'll reveal my identity to Evelyn.
00:15:31They are...
00:15:32They're here for Victor.
00:15:37Yes, yes.
00:15:42I used to serve in the palace.
00:15:44These are all old acquaintances.
00:15:48Evelyn, I'll help Victor to entertain the guests.
00:15:51Will you be alright buying thread on your own?
00:15:55Yes.
00:15:55Hmm.
00:15:56Speak.
00:16:09What happened?
00:16:10The Empress Dowager distressed over your majesty's fence and suddenly collapsed.
00:16:13What?
00:16:14Victor, stay here and protect your Evelyn.
00:16:16Let's head back.
00:16:17Yes, your majesty.
00:16:18Get someone to deliver some valuable gifts to Sterling Estate.
00:16:22Say that they're Evelyn's homecoming gifts.
00:16:24Yes, your majesty.
00:16:25Let's go.
00:16:25Father, mother, your daughter has returned.
00:16:31Father?
00:16:33Why has sister returned alone?
00:16:39Today is your homecoming day.
00:16:42Sister, why have you returned alone?
00:16:44Are you ashamed of your beggar husband?
00:16:47So you didn't even bring him to meet the family.
00:16:49My husband wanted to come, but something urgent came up.
00:16:52Since being married to the beggar, Lady Evelyn Sterling must have suffered a great deal.
00:16:58You look much frailer than before.
00:16:59Had you not married that filthy beggar, perhaps I would have taken you as a concubine.
00:17:06At least you wouldn't have fallen to such a state.
00:17:08That will not be necessary.
00:17:10I am living well.
00:17:11As of for you, sister, it has been quite a few days since you had seen your husband before.
00:17:16You...
00:17:16Screw you, Adrian.
00:17:19Went drinking with corsets on our wedding night, and now everyone knows we are utterly humiliating me.
00:17:25Josephine.
00:17:26Father, mother.
00:17:32Greetings to you both.
00:17:34Greetings to you both.
00:17:36You've returned alone.
00:17:37How can you still have the face to come back?
00:17:39What does your husband do all day?
00:17:41Not even accompanying you for your homecoming.
00:17:44Mother, you're thinking too highly of her.
00:17:47That filthy beggar is probably begging in the streets right now.
00:17:51How could he possibly compare to my husband?
00:17:53Father-in-law, your humble son-in-law has brought a small gift.
00:18:02Our dear Josephine has truly found herself a fine husband.
00:18:07For our daughter to marry such a fine gentleman, it must be the blessing she has earned over eight lifetimes.
00:18:12Unlike someone who chose a beggar as her husband, our sterling family has raised you for so many years,
00:18:19and yet you come back empty-handed on your homecoming day.
00:18:22Indeed, sister.
00:18:25This is my homecoming gift.
00:18:27Have you fallen into such poverty that you cannot even afford a proper homecoming gift?
00:18:38Father, mother.
00:18:40These are the two protective talamans I made for you by hand.
00:18:43A blessing to you both.
00:18:44Wishing you peace and prosperity.
00:18:45Get out!
00:18:50What a disgrace!
00:18:53Sister, is this truly what you've brought?
00:18:56A few scraps of cloth with embroidery.
00:18:59How dare you present these?
00:19:01Well, she did marry a beggar.
00:19:02So her gift befits her status perfectly.
00:19:06Oh, right.
00:19:08She has married a beggar.
00:19:10What else could we expect from her?
00:19:11Master, madam.
00:19:19Someone from the palace has arrived with gifts.
00:19:21They say they are the homecoming gifts from Lady Evelyn.
00:19:27Master Sterling, who exactly?
00:19:29As your eldest daughter married a mountain nobility,
00:19:31even the palace saw fit to have me personally deliver these gifts to you.
00:19:34You must hold great influence indeed.
00:19:36Gifts from the palace?
00:19:37Then it must be from his majesty himself.
00:19:39So, it was personally arranged by the chief eunuch at his majesty's side.
00:19:42He said, for the Sterling family's...
00:19:46...outest daughter.
00:19:50Mr. Ashford, you must be mistaken.
00:19:54All of Highgate knows that Evelyn married a beggar.
00:19:58How could she possibly have ties to anyone in the palace?
00:20:01Oh, this must surely be a courtesy to young Master Montague.
00:20:10Indeed.
00:20:11In this world, those seeking favor with the Montague family are countless.
00:20:15Even those in the palace are paying their respects.
00:20:18Father-in-law, please accept with joy.
00:20:22Josephine has married a remarkable husband.
00:20:25Just look at the grandeur of her homecoming.
00:20:27Such lavish gifts.
00:20:28Our Sterling family is truly honored beyond measure.
00:20:33The gifts have been delivered.
00:20:35I shall take my leave.
00:20:37Oh, take care.
00:20:38Take care.
00:20:41Sister, my husband has prepared two sets of homecoming gifts.
00:20:45Seeing all these, do you not feel ashamed?
00:20:48It's not about the quality of gifts, but the sincerity behind them.
00:20:51I see nothing inappropriate in this.
00:20:53I have poured my heart and effort into raising you, and yet, not only did you marry a beggar,
00:20:58but you even bring back these worthless rags to disgrace me.
00:21:01The Sterling family has no place for such a disgraceful daughter.
00:21:05Simply because I married Lucas, you feel justified to humiliate me like this.
00:21:09Josephine acts in the best interest of the Sterling family, unlike you who married a beggar, bringing disgrace upon us all.
00:21:16It's only because Josephine married into wealth that you so readily indulge her.
00:21:24Insolent, child!
00:21:25Such outrageous defiance!
00:21:26Who has put these ideas in your head?
00:21:28Is it not the truth?
00:21:31In your eyes, a daughter is nothing more than a pawn to secure power and favor.
00:21:36Outrageous!
00:21:38How dare you speak to your father in such a manner!
00:21:45A dragon jade pendant?
00:21:49Outrageous!
00:21:51And now, I must inform his majesty.
00:21:55Give it back to me!
00:21:57This jade pendant looks of fine quality.
00:22:01From where did you steal it, sister?
00:22:04It is from Lucas.
00:22:05Give it back!
00:22:06That wretched beggar?
00:22:09He will never possess such a fine pendant.
00:22:12He must have stolen it from somewhere.
00:22:15Would right have you to make such rash accusations.
00:22:17Lucas may not be of noble birth like you,
00:22:19but you believe that possessing a jade pendant is a rightful due.
00:22:22Yet Lucas is not worthy of the same.
00:22:23A worthless beggar's gift, and you treat it like a treasure.
00:22:26How ignorant.
00:22:28You want the pendant?
00:22:29Very well.
00:22:30But you must sever all ties with the Sterlings.
00:22:34You...
00:22:35Father,
00:22:39Father,
00:22:39Will you truly indulge Josephine's audacity?
00:22:43Am I not also your daughter?
00:22:45You insisted on marrying a beggar, bringing shame upon the Sterling family.
00:22:50You are unworthy to be my daughter.
00:22:52On this day, Forth, I have only one daughter.
00:22:55Josephine!
00:22:55For the rest of my life, I seek only to be with the one who is true of heart.
00:23:07Even if I must live on plain fare,
00:23:09it is better than enduring cold disdain in the Sterlings,
00:23:13since that is the case.
00:23:14Hi, Evelyn Sterling.
00:23:25Severe all ties with the Sterling family.
00:23:29We are here and forth, strangers.
00:23:31All for the sake of a worthless beggar.
00:23:43You would sever ties with us?
00:23:45It is fortunate we never placed our hopes in you.
00:23:48Is that not what Father has always thought of?
00:23:53Why should I remain here only to be an eyesore to him?
00:23:58Hold it.
00:23:59Now that you wish to leave, I fear it is too late.
00:24:03Guards!
00:24:04Bring the burning charcoal from the kitchen.
00:24:07Scatter them across the board.
00:24:08What are you trying to do?
00:24:12Your Majesty, something terrible has happened.
00:24:14Lady Evelyn was humiliated at the Sterling estate.
00:24:22One's body and soul are bestowed by One's parents.
00:24:25If you wish to sever ties,
00:24:26you must first repay your parents' kindness.
00:24:30My Lady speaks most reasonably.
00:24:32Given your current state,
00:24:33it would be far too much to expect that you present anything of great value.
00:24:37Then you have no choice but to walk barefoot
00:24:39across this bed of burning charcoal.
00:24:43It is pleasing so fiercely.
00:24:45How could anyone survive walking across them?
00:24:47I will not walk.
00:24:50Oh?
00:24:51It seems, dear sister,
00:24:53that you no longer want this jade pendant.
00:24:57Stop!
00:25:00Lucas is the only one who has ever treated me well.
00:25:04This jade pendant was left to him by his parents.
00:25:06Very well.
00:25:07I will never allow his heartfelt gift to be trampled a couple.
00:25:10I will walk.
00:25:11For the sake of a filthy beggar,
00:25:33you would go to such lengths?
00:25:35You must have lost your mind!
00:25:36For a mere jade pendant,
00:25:39a lady born into privilege
00:25:41would willingly walk across burning charcoal.
00:25:43No wonder she was foolish enough
00:25:45to marry a mere beggar.
00:25:46After all,
00:25:47what does a beggar have to his name
00:25:48but worthless trinkets?
00:25:50This jade pendant is likely
00:25:52his most treasured possession.
00:25:54No wonder your sister cherishes it so.
00:25:57The jade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:26:01I've carried it with me all these years.
00:26:04And now,
00:26:05I'm giving it to you.
00:26:14For me, my lady.
00:26:17Lucas,
00:26:18do not worry.
00:26:19I will reclaim the jade pendant.
00:26:32Can you
00:26:33return the jade pendant to me now?
00:26:38You want it?
00:26:41Then crawl over and take it!
00:26:43As long as you crawl over,
00:26:45this jade pendant will be yours.
00:26:49The jade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:27:04I've carried it with me all these years.
00:27:08And now,
00:27:08I'm giving it to you.
00:27:12All right.
00:27:14I will cherish it well.
00:27:19You claim
00:27:40to cherish your love
00:27:42for that filthy beggar.
00:27:44But if you were disfigured,
00:27:46would your dearest husband
00:27:47still want you?
00:27:50Why are you looking at me like that?
00:27:52I have long told you
00:27:54the fate of a woman
00:27:55who wets a beggar
00:27:56can only be one
00:27:57to be trampled upon at will.
00:28:00You exhaust yourself
00:28:01trying to torment me.
00:28:03But do you truly believe
00:28:05you're getting your way?
00:28:07I want you
00:28:08to spend the rest of your days
00:28:10wallowing in the gutter,
00:28:12watching as I rise
00:28:13to become the most esteemed woman
00:28:14in the world?
00:28:24His majesty has arrived!
00:28:32Who dares to lay a hand
00:28:33on my woman?
00:28:37Evelyn.
00:28:38I'm sorry.
00:28:39I'm late.
00:28:42Just leave.
00:28:43Lucas.
00:28:45I didn't lose
00:28:46your drink, pendant.
00:28:52Did they say
00:28:53it was his majesty?
00:28:54How could it be him?
00:28:55That beggar
00:28:56is dressed in
00:28:57such luxurious robes.
00:28:58And those men,
00:28:59are they the imperial guards?
00:29:01Why would they take
00:29:01orders from a beggar?
00:29:02I heard that filthy beggar's
00:29:03brother once served
00:29:04in the palace.
00:29:05Is it natural for him
00:29:06to procure some robes?
00:29:07That wretch beggar
00:29:08has suffered humiliation
00:29:10last time,
00:29:10and now he has come
00:29:11to regain his dignity?
00:29:12What a joke!
00:29:14A mere beggar
00:29:15daring to put on
00:29:16an act in the
00:29:16Sterling Estate?
00:29:17Look at the fine
00:29:18husband you've chosen.
00:29:19Useless is one thing,
00:29:20but to be so audacious
00:29:22as to steal from
00:29:23the imperial palace?
00:29:24If his majesty
00:29:25were to fan out,
00:29:26do you really believe
00:29:27you will be spared?
00:29:27You deviant fools.
00:29:28You're doomed!
00:29:32You!
00:29:32What do you think
00:29:33you're doing?
00:29:34Evelyn,
00:29:34come with me.
00:29:36Evelyn,
00:29:37what's wrong?
00:29:37Who did this?
00:29:49Lucas.
00:29:57Yes,
00:29:57it was me.
00:29:58So what?
00:29:58I was only trying
00:29:59to help my dear sister.
00:30:00Who would have thought
00:30:01she would walk
00:30:02barefoot across
00:30:02the burning charcoal?
00:30:03I wonder what
00:30:04she was thinking.
00:30:06Such a fool.
00:30:06Silence!
00:30:07And who do you think
00:30:08you are to dare
00:30:09raise your voice
00:30:10before me?
00:30:11Yes,
00:30:12I'm insulting her
00:30:13because she married
00:30:14a worthless man.
00:30:15I am a noble lady
00:30:16with the Montag family.
00:30:17You are nothing
00:30:18but insects beneath
00:30:19my feet.
00:30:20Even if I were
00:30:20to kill you here
00:30:21and now,
00:30:22you ought to kneel
00:30:23and sack me for it.
00:30:24Let's see how much
00:30:24longer you can
00:30:25keep up this charade.
00:30:26Guards,
00:30:27seize this filthy beggar,
00:30:28Nevelyn Sterling.
00:30:29Wait.
00:30:29How dare you
00:30:34humiliate my lady?
00:30:37Seize them!
00:30:38Seize them!
00:30:42How dare you!
00:30:43I'm Lady Josephine Montag!

00:30:49Whoever kills him
00:30:50for me,
00:30:50I shall reward him
00:30:51with ten tails of gold.
00:30:56Insulin, wretch!
00:30:57Lord Montague
00:30:58you as of royal lineage!
00:30:59Who dare lay a hand
00:31:00on him,
00:31:00you shall make an enemy
00:31:01of the entire Montague
00:31:02family!
00:31:03And what of it?
00:31:04Anyone who dares
00:31:05to harm my lady
00:31:06shall only have
00:31:07one face,
00:31:08death!
00:31:11You filthy beggar,
00:31:13you're taking
00:31:13this act too far!
00:31:14Before I lose my temper,
00:31:15release me at once!
00:31:17I might disappear
00:31:17your life!
00:31:18You've tortured
00:31:19Evelyn to such
00:31:20wretched state!
00:31:21Press their faces!
00:31:23Straight into
00:31:23the burning charcoal!
00:31:27No!
00:31:28Fool!
00:31:29No!
00:31:30No!
00:31:30What are you doing?
00:31:31No!
00:31:32Stop!
00:31:32Once the judicial
00:31:33court arrives,
00:31:34you are doomed!
00:31:37Alright,
00:31:37my brother is an
00:31:38official of the
00:31:39Imperial Court.
00:31:39Do you really think
00:31:40you'll walk away
00:31:41alive?
00:31:41I'd like to see
00:31:42if the judicial
00:31:44court would
00:31:45tolerate this.
00:31:47Carry on!
00:31:49Help!
00:31:49No!
00:31:50Help!
00:31:50No!
00:31:51Don't leave!
00:31:52You wretched fool!
00:31:53If you wish to die,
00:31:54don't drag the
00:31:55Stoney family down
00:31:56with you!
00:31:57No!
00:31:58Stop!
00:31:59Brother!
00:32:00Brother,
00:32:01save me!
00:32:11Who is
00:32:12harming my brother?
00:32:14The Imperial
00:32:18Secret Guards,
00:32:19why are they
00:32:19here?
00:32:20Yes,
00:32:21I summoned
00:32:22them.
00:32:23That voice,
00:32:24could it be
00:32:25your majesty?
00:32:29Your majesty?
00:32:33The
00:32:33Emperor,
00:32:34how could this
00:32:35filthy beggar...
00:32:36Brother,
00:32:37don't let this
00:32:38filthy beggar fool
00:32:38you!
00:32:39These clothes he's
00:32:39wearing are all
00:32:40stolen from the
00:32:40Imperial Palace.
00:32:41All these people
00:32:42were bribed by him
00:32:42with a huge
00:32:43sum of money.
00:32:44That's right!
00:32:45You're new to
00:32:46this office.
00:32:46It's normal to
00:32:47get the wrong
00:32:47person,
00:32:48but he really
00:32:48is a filthy
00:32:49beggar.
00:32:49He can't
00:32:49possibly be
00:32:50the Emperor.
00:32:51That's true.
00:32:52The Emperor
00:32:52couldn't possibly
00:32:53be here.
00:32:54Wretched girl,
00:32:55look at the
00:32:56fine husband

00:33:11Outrageous!
00:33:12At the foot
00:33:13of the Imperial City!
00:33:14How can you
00:33:14act so brazenly?

00:37:37Majesty!
00:37:38Thank
00:37:39Your
00:37:46Your
00:37:46Majesty!
00:37:47When you
00:37:48humiliated Evelyn back them,
00:37:49did you ever think this day would come?
00:37:52Impossible!
00:37:54Given a second chance to life, how can I still make the wrong choice?
00:37:58Empress Dowager, I did commit a grave offense, but it was all under the orders of the Strangley family.
00:38:02Empress Dowager, please, for the sake of my father's honor, spare me once!
00:38:06I beg Your Majesty and Empress Dowager for mercy!
00:38:09Please have mercy, Empress Dowager!
00:38:11Have mercy, Empress Dowager!
00:38:13My
00:38:13son,
00:38:14although the two unfilial sons of the Montague family are foolish, they were not the masterminds.
00:38:19They should be punished lighter.
00:38:20The
00:38:20Sterling family is a household of commoners.
00:38:23To execute them all is indeed lacking consideration for the women.
00:38:27I saw that woman was badly injured, my son.
00:38:30You should go tend to her quickly.
00:38:36Huh!
00:38:49Lucas, are you all right?
00:38:51Are you all right?
00:38:52Did you get hurt?
00:38:53I'm fine.
00:38:53Lie down quickly.
00:38:54The Imperius Physician said you have to lie down.
00:38:57Come on!
00:38:58Imperius Physician?
00:39:01What is going on?
00:39:03Why are we in the palace?
00:39:05What exactly happened?
00:39:06It was the Empress Dowager who saved us.
00:39:10The Empress Dowager?
00:39:13You want to make Evelyn Sterling your Empress?
00:39:16I absolutely do not approve!
00:39:18I pledge myself to Evelyn for life in private.
00:39:22Whether you approve or not, I will overcome all obstacles to make Evelyn my Empress.
00:39:26You!
00:39:29If you truly wish to make her Empress, she must pass my test.
00:39:34But...
00:39:35But before that, you must not let her know your identity.
00:39:42Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to stop you.
00:39:48She left the palace to pray.
00:39:50Just happened to walk by the Sterling State.
00:39:52That's how she saved us.
00:39:53The Empress Dowager gave the order to have them all beat in 50 strikes each.
00:40:03Adrian Montague frequented pleasure districts.
00:40:05His body couldn't take it and he fainted.
00:40:07The Empress Dowager ordered him to be put in confinement.
00:40:10And your sister was also sent to the Office of Discipline to do hard labor.
00:40:13And for your father and the others, they were exiled.
00:40:16Exiled?
00:40:17Evelyn, from now on, I will protect you.
00:40:25I asked the Empress Dowager for a position and assigned you to the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:40:29From now on, the two of us will be working in the palace.
00:40:32That's wonderful.
00:40:36When the time comes, we may work in the palace for three to five years.
00:40:40Then we can leave together and live a simple life.
00:40:43Evelyn, when I have some free time, I'll come to see you.
00:41:02Alright.
00:41:05Great.
00:41:13This one here is the steward of the bureau, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:23If you need anything, just go to her.
00:41:27Greetings, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:30This 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.
00:42:08Miss Evelyn, please come with me.
00:42:11Go ahead.
00:42:13Go ahead.
00:42:13You, clean all of these thoroughly.
00:42:30You and I both work at the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:42:33The 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 learn a post here.
00:42:43And somehow even earn Ma'am Langston's favor.
00:42:45She got all the Yeezy's work assigned to you.
00:42:53Hey!
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 and inform Madam Langston.
00:43:12Someone is stealing.
00:43:14Oh, majesty.
00:43:15Give it back to me, right now.
00:43:16What are you waiting for?
00:43:31Grab her!
00:43:33Everyone, stop right there!
00:43:35Your grace.
00:43:43The Imperial Household Bureau is such a crude place.
00:43:46You have never come here before.
00:43:47It might harm your noble health.
00:43:49Allow me to announce your arrival.
00:43:51No need.
00:43:52This time, I am disguised as a Bureau Matron
00:43:54because I want to truly know Evelyn Sterling.
00:43:57She must never learn of my identity.
00:44:00She must never learn of my identity.
00:44:05Palace 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, she stole his majesty's jade pendant.
00:44:21The one thing most forbidden in the harm is thee.
00:44:23She feared being exposed and even tried to harm me.
00:44:26Ma'am, you must punish her properly.
00:44:29Ma'am Langston, please let me explain.
00:44:32This isn't what happened.
00:44:33Enough.
00:44:33Hand over the jade pendant.
00:44:38The pendant belongs to me.
00:44:43I said hand over the jade pendant.
00:44:45The dragon jade pendant.
00:45:02It truly belongs to his majesty.
00:45:04The dragon jade pendant.
00:45:06It truly belongs to his majesty.
00:45:08The emperor even gave her something this important?
00:45:10She 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.
00:45:19Anyone caught stealing goods worth more than one dollar will have their left foot cut off and be branded.
00:45:24Ma'am, please listen to my explanation.
00:45:27This pendant was given to me by someone very dear to me.
00:45:30It was definitely not stolen.
00:45:31I truly don't know how I 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?
00:45:39No.
00:45:40We 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.
00:45:47The pendant will remain with me.
00:45:48If you are truly innocent, I will make things right for you.
00:45:51Thank you, ma'am.
00:45:54This is the new steward, Madam Williams.
00:45:56From now on, she 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 will be punished according to palace rules.
00:46:05Yes, ma'am.
00:46:06Yes, ma'am.
00:46:11Your 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.
00:46:40Oh, isn't this much better?
00:46:48Your majesty, Miss 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.
00:46:58This...
00:46:59You.
00:47:00Go back.
00:47:01I'm going to see Avalyn.
00:47:02If you follow me, you'll expose my identity.
00:47:05Out of the way.
00:47:09Avalyn.
00:47:10Avalyn.
00:47:14Lucas.
00:47:16Why are you here?
00:47:18How can Madam Langston let you do this kind of work?
00:47:22I'll go speak with her.
00:47:24I'll go speak with her.
00:47:26Lucas.
00:47:28It's just cleaning a toilet bowl is not a big deal.
00:47:32Avalyn.
00:47:36I...
00:47:36I'm sorry you had to endure this.
00:47:46I promise I'll find a way to get you out of here as soon as possible.
00:47:50By the way, the jade pendant of yours...
00:47:53What's the story behind it?
00:47:54Why is it that they keep saying that the pendant belongs to his majesty?
00:47:58Uh, my father...
00:48:01My father once won first place in the imperial exam.
00:48:03To encourage outstanding scholars, his majesty rewarded him with the jade pendant.
00:48:07This is how it came into our hands.
00:48:09Oh, I see.
00:48:10All they say is his majesty, his majesty.
00:48:12I thought maybe you were lying to me.
00:48:14Who's there?
00:48:22It's Madam Willems.
00:48:24Hurry up, go.
00:48:24Don't let her see you.
00:48:25Tomorrow.
00:48:26I'll come to see you tomorrow again.
00:48:35Madam.
00:48:35Madam.
00:48:36All the toilet bowls have been cleaned.
00:48:38Cleaned already?
00:48:40Then go sweep the entire back courtyard.
00:48:42Yes, ma'am.
00:48:48Finally done with everything.
00:49:02Why are you throwing my things?
00:49:04Madam Williams gave orders herself.
00:49:06She said at first light tomorrow, you are to deliver her medicine.
00:49:08Ma'am said the medicine must be boiled with morning dew.
00:49:11Tonight, you should wait outside.
00:49:13Morning dew.
00:49:16Morning dew.
00:49:18Everyone heard it.
00:49:19I'm not making it up.
00:49:20Why is Madam Williams always picking on me?
00:49:23Madam Williams already showed me mercy by.
00:49:25Not punishing for the theft last time.
00:49:27All she asked was for you to collect the morning dew.
00:49:29You should be grateful.
00:49:30The pendant wasn't stolen at all.
00:49:31Stop falsely accusing me.
00:49:32Not stolen?
00:49:33Are you saying his majesty gave it to you himself?
00:49:35The night air is damned with dew.
00:49:47I'm going inside to get my own blanket.
00:49:48Is that not allowed?
00:49:49What arrogance?
00:49:51This is the Imperial Palace.
00:49:52There's no such thing as yours or mine.
00:49:54Don't think that just because Madam lost so you can do whatever you want.
00:49:58Who said you could come in?
00:50:00Move aside.
00:50:00Avalyn!
00:50:11Avalyn!
00:50:12Are you all right?
00:50:14Who did this?
00:50:16Victor Langley, why is he here?
00:50:18Could it be that he is...
00:50:20You want to die?
00:50:23Your majesty!
00:50:24You're the emperor.
00:50:32You're his majesty.
00:50:35Insolent servant!
00:50:39You must never let her discover your true identity.
00:50:52My deepest apologies, your majesty.
00:50:54I merely saw someone injured and acted out of concern.
00:50:59Fortunately, it wasn't his majesty.
00:51:01But...
00:51:02Hasn't Master Langley been by his majesty's side?
00:51:05Master Langley...
00:51:07What is going on here?
00:51:09Oh...
00:51:10This young guy in here...
00:51:12He bests a striking resemblance to his majesty.
00:51:14I specifically brought him to the palace to interrogate him.
00:51:17Uh-uh.
00:51:18Hey, you, the new one.
00:51:20How can you be so ignorant of the rules?
00:51:21Don't you know you should behave yourself here?
00:51:23I humbly apologize.
00:51:25I acknowledge my error.
00:51:27Madam Langston, I beg your pardon.
00:51:29It's entirely my fault for causing this young officer concern.
00:51:32If you understand your error, then leave at once.
00:51:34As for you...
00:51:45Fraternizing with the guards is a grave matter.
00:51:50Yet Madam Williams merely punished her with kneeling.
00:51:53The last time she stole a jade pendant, that incident was also swept under the rug.
00:51:56Tell me, if his majesty knew she had stolen his jade pendant, how do you think he would handle her?
00:52:03I shall inform his majesty at once.
00:52:16It was you who stole his jade pendant.
00:52:18Let us see if he will still let you off so easily.
00:52:20Ah!
00:52:22Ah, my face!
00:52:24My face!
00:52:25Ah, my face!
00:52:27Ah, my face!
00:52:28Ah!
00:52:28You foolish servant!
00:52:30What have you put in this bowl?
00:52:32I...
00:52:33I obtained a recipe from a tallist who claimed they could enhance one's beauty when consumed.
00:52:37I only wished to do what was best for Madam Williams, which is why I acted so foolishly.
00:52:44How dare you serve something of unknown origin to ma'am if this rash on her face does not fade?
00:52:51How will you atone for this?
00:52:53Madam!
00:52:54Guards!
00:52:54Drag her away and sell her to a slave trader!
00:52:57Madam Williams, have mercy!
00:52:59Madam, have mercy, please!
00:53:00Madam!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:02Madam, have mercy!
00:53:04Madam!
00:53:06Madam!
00:53:07May I be permitted to try?
00:53:11You?
00:53:14You?
00:53:14I have studied medical texts, and I can prepare herbal remedy that might alleviate the rash on your face.
00:53:25If...
00:53:25If my methods prove effective, I beg you, Madam, to spare Isabella's life.
00:53:37I don't know.
00:53:42His Majesty has not paid me attention for a long time.
00:53:46Yet I hear he has recently been visiting Imperial Household Bureau.
00:53:50Tell me who could be in the Imperial Household Bureau to capture His Majesty's interest so deeply.
00:53:55I don't know.
00:53:56I know nothing.
00:53:58Speak!
00:53:58I remember now.
00:54:03There is indeed someone who dares to do such a thing.
00:54:06Oh?
00:54:17It may not look appealing, but...
00:54:19It is true that the rash has faded somewhat.
00:54:24It seems you do have some skill.
00:54:27Thank you for your praise, Madam.
00:54:29Madam, you need to only wait six more hours, and the rash will completely disappear.
00:54:34What are you trying to do now?
00:54:55If it weren't for you today, I might have already been taken away.
00:55:06As for what happened before, I owe you an apology.
00:55:09I will accept any punishment or scolding you see fit.
00:55:19Why would I scold you?
00:55:23So you're willing to forgive me?
00:55:25You're not entirely a bad person.
00:55:30It's just that your words can be utterly vicious.
00:55:41Let's go.
00:55:46Your Majesty.
00:55:48I believe that His Majesty's insistence on making Lady Evelyn the Empress does not seem like a mere impulse.
00:55:54Lady Evelyn truly possesses remarkable qualities.
00:55:58I'll see you at her chestnut cake.
00:56:02It was her!
00:56:03It was her!
00:56:04It was you who seduced His Majesty.
00:56:17With us stuck the face of yours.
00:56:19No wonder you can't stay out of trouble.
00:56:21His Majesty's finding a bride outside the palace is wondering.
00:56:23But when did your lowly servant dare to entertain such wicked thoughts?
00:56:28When did Evelyn ever seduce His Majesty?
00:56:31Isabella, have you forgotten how much we suffered because of her?
00:56:33Evelyn never once provoked me intentionally.
00:56:35It was you who kept picking fights deliberately.
00:56:39Isabella!
00:56:39Do you even know who I am?
00:56:43How dare you act so insolently in my presence?
00:56:46Susan.
00:56:50Wait!
00:56:51The person standing before you is Lady Caldwell.
00:56:54Daughter of Chancellor Caldwell.
00:56:55She's the one the Empress Dodge Rager has chosen to be Empress.
00:56:58What a fool.
00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell is the esteemed daughter of the Chancellor,
00:57:02surely you are a reasonable person.
00:57:04We have never even met His Majesty.
00:57:05So how could there be any talk of seduction?
00:57:07I beg you Lady Cat will spare me.
00:57:10I heard from Eleanor that you not only seduced His Majesty,
00:57:13but also entangled yourself with the guards.
00:57:15That face of yours is too dangerous to keep.
00:57:23Stop!
00:57:34Stop!
00:57:35The Imperial Household Bureau is part of the harem.
00:57:45Since when is it your place to interfere?
00:57:48A mere old servant.
00:57:50There is to raise your voice in front of me?
00:57:52You!
00:57:52How dare you!
00:57:54His Majesty and I grew up together.
00:57:56I am the only candidate for emphasis.
00:57:58The harma will be mine sooner or later.
00:58:00Dealing the lowly maid is nothing to me.
00:58:02Preposterous!
00:58:03Do you even know who stands before you?
00:58:07Aren't you just a lowborn servant?
00:58:11If I don't teach you a lesson,
00:58:12you'll never learn your place.
00:58:14Restrainer as well.
00:58:16Eleanor, you wouldn't dare.
00:58:18I never expected you to be so venomous at heart.
00:58:26Her Majesty truly misjudged you.
00:58:28You didn't call yourself her Majesty?
00:58:31Who are you taking yourself for?
00:58:32The Empress Dowager?
00:58:36A disfigured old wretch like you.
00:58:40There is to use the title of the Empress Dowager.
00:58:42It seems you've grown tired of living.
00:58:44It seems you still refuse to admit your wrongdoing.
00:58:46What wrong have I done?
00:58:47You born into lowly status can only be servants in the palace.
00:58:51To defy your superiors is to seek death.
00:58:54You, Lady Catwell,
00:58:55the inner court is under the jurisdiction of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.
00:58:59To deal with the palace servants privately is likely against the rules.
00:59:02I beg you to show mercy.
00:59:03As the head of the Imperial Household Bureau,
00:59:05you have allowed your maid to seduce His Majesty.
00:59:07Such behaviors as a dangerous example.
00:59:09This is unforgivable.
00:59:11Fetch 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.
00:59:23Everything must be prepared perfectly.
00:59:25Your Majesty, rest assured.
00:59:27I will spare no effort in ensuring its success.
00:59:31You insolent servant.
00:59:33How dare you disturb His Majesty?
00:59:35His Majesty?
00:59:37His humble maid greets Your Majesty
00:59:38and beg Your Majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling.
00:59:41What did you say?
00:59:42Evelyn's in danger.
00:59:48His Majesty?
00:59:50His humble maid greets Your Majesty
00:59:52and beg Your Majesty to visit and save Evelyn Sterling.
00:59:54What did you say?
00:59:56Evelyn's in danger.
01:00:08What are you doing?
01:00:11It was me who offended Lady Cowell.
01:00:12Did I not wish for him who suffered punishment on my account?
01:00:17Since you are so eager to play the hero,
01:00:19I shall grant your wish today.
01:00:21Enough!
01:00:22Anna Caldwell,
01:00:23Her Majesty advises you not to go too far.
01:00:26Otherwise...
01:00:26You called yourself Her Majesty again?
01:00:28You reckless wretch.
01:00:29Today,
01:00:29I shall teach you the rules on behalf of the Empress that was...
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 the Empress Dowager.
01:00:44I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:47How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:55How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:57How 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?
01:01:09Your 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.
01:01:17I beg the Emperor for mercy.
01:01:19The 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 to carefully consider the matter.
01:01:37Exactly.
01:01:38How could you dare to offend the Empress Dowager?
01:01:42Admit your fault at once!
01:01:43This humble subject admits my fault.
01:01:46Your 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 clearly you!
01:01:56But if it weren't for your manipulation,
01:01:57how could I have spoken so recklessly
01:01:59before the Empress Dowager?
01:02:00The palacemate Eleanor Fairfox
01:02:02has spread rumors and caused trouble.
01:02:04Take her away and sell her at once.
01:02:07The palacemate 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.
01:02:17Your Majesty!
01:02:19I beg Your Majesty!
01:02:20You are the eldest daughter
01:02:21of the sturdy camera!
01:02:22How dare you!
01:02:22Anna Caldwell,
01:02:23I always believed you
01:02:24to be a kind-hearted,
01:02:25yet I never expected you
01:02:27to be ruthless.
01:02:28You've overstepped your place
01:02:29and still dared to dream
01:02:30of becoming Empress.
01:02:31You are sentenced to one year
01:02:32in the Office of Discipline
01:02:33to reflect on your actions.
01:02:34The Office of Discipline?
01:02:35No, Your Majesty!
01:02:36This humble subject admits her fault!
01:02:38Your Majesty, please spare me!
01:02:40I do not want to get
01:02:40to the Office of Discipline!
01:02:41I have questions for you.
01:02:53Where is Her Majesty taking them?
01:02:55The Office of Discipline?
01:02:56The Office of Discipline?
01:02:57The Office of Discipline?
01:02:58The Office of Discipline?
01:02:59The Office of Discipline?
01:03:00The Office of Discipline?
01:03:01The Office of Discipline?
01:03:02The Office of Discipline?
01:03:03Evelyn!
01:03:03Ah!
01:03:04Ah!
01:03:05Lucas!
01:03:05Did the Empress daughter punish you?
01:03:07Of course not!
01:03:08Her Majesty wished to discuss
01:03:10the Spring Blossom Banquet with me.
01:03:12That's a relief.
01:03:14Evelyn!
01:03:17Evelyn has passed the test!
01:03:18Wonderful!
01:03:19I will reveal my identity to her
01:03:21and make her my empress!
01:03:22There is no need to rush the coronation.
01:03:25The Ministry of Rights is preparing
01:03:26for the Spring Blossom Banquet next month.
01:03:29They may not have enough resources
01:03:30to manage both.
01:03:32Moreover,
01:03:33this matter is too sudden.
01:03:35I'm concerned
01:03:35the other ministers may object.
01:03:38Mother,
01:03:38why not let Evelyn
01:03:40organize the Spring Blossom Banquet?
01:03:41If she can manage this banquet,
01:03:43it will not only prove her capability,
01:03:44but also make her coronation
01:03:45more acceptable to everyone.
01:03:47Her Majesty wants you
01:03:49to take charge
01:03:50of the Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:03:51Me?
01:03:53I don't know
01:03:54how 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
01:04:02behind the scenes.
01:04:07All right.
01:04:14Get moving, all of you!
01:04:16If anyone there is a slack-off,
01:04:18my whip shows no mercy.
01:04:25Useless fool!
01:04:27Do you still think
01:04:27you're a pampered young lady?
01:04:29Huh?
01:04:30Once you're in the office
01:04:31off-discipline,
01:04:31no one gets to laze around.
01:04:38Evelyn Sterling,
01:04:39this is all your fault!
01:04:43Get it!
01:04:43Don't touch me!
01:04:45I'm the daughter of Chancellor Caldwell!
01:04:47You better show some respect!
01:04:54The daughter of Chancellor Caldwell?
01:04:57In my past life,
01:04:57Adrian Montauk was promoted
01:04:58by the Empress Elwiger
01:04:59during the Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:05:01If I can escape
01:05:02this wretched place
01:05:03and find a way
01:05:05to bring Adrian
01:05:05to the Spring Blossom Banquet,
01:05:07I can surely turn things around.
01:05:14What a wretched place!
01:05:16They expect me,
01:05:17a lady,
01:05:17to wash my clothes myself?
01:05:21Where did this
01:05:22lonely maid come from?
01:05:23I...
01:05:24Lady,
01:05:27I 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
01:05:33for this temporary misfortune,
01:05:35you wouldn't even
01:05:36be worthy to speak to me.
01:05:40My elder sister,
01:05:41Evelyn Sterling,
01:05:42is the reason
01:05:43I was in prison here.
01:05:44If you help escape,
01:05:45I shall be forever
01:05:46endowed to you.
01:05:50Evelyn Sterling?
01:05:54Not bad.
01:05:57The banquet itinerary
01:05:58is clear and well-structured.
01:06:00It is evident
01:06:00that much effort
01:06:01was put into it.
01:06:02And trusting you
01:06:03at the banquet's organization
01:06:04was indeed a wide choice.
01:06:06Many thanks
01:06:06for your majesty's praise.
01:06:07Your majesty!
01:06:08Terrible news!
01:06:10The Office of Disappletal
01:06:11is on fire!
01:06:11What?
01:06:19Sir!
01:06:20What is the situation inside?
01:06:21The fire has engulfed
01:06:22the entire rear courtyard.
01:06:23Nearly half the people
01:06:24couldn't make it out.
01:06:26Anna Caldwell.
01:06:33Your majesty!
01:06:39Your majesty!
01:06:40This humble subject
01:06:41has come to realize
01:06:42my mistakes.
01:06:43I beg you
01:06:44to spare me
01:06:44from this punishment.
01:06:46The Office of Disappletal
01:06:47is a place I cannot enjoy
01:06:48even for a single day longer.
01:06:49As long as you're alive,
01:06:51at least this allows me
01:06:52to account for your well-being
01:06:53to your father.
01:06:54Enough!
01:06:55With your temperament,
01:06:56staying in the Office of Discipline
01:06:57would serve no purpose.
01:06:58Next month,
01:06:59you shall be the one
01:07:00to 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
01:07:08to continue staying
01:07:09in the Office of Discipline?
01:07:10Oh, no.
01:07:14This humble subject
01:07:15humbly obeys
01:07:17your majesty's decree.
01:07:18I shall depart
01:07:20for the marriage
01:07:21alliance next month.
01:07:23However,
01:07:23I have an impertinent request.
01:07:26I was able to escape
01:07:27this calamity.
01:07:28Thanks to Josephine Sterling
01:07:29risking her life to save,
01:07:31I dare to ask
01:07:32that your majesty
01:07:33release Josephine Sterling
01:07:34from the Office of Discipline.
01:07:35I pay your respects
01:07:36to your majesty.
01:07:40I remember.
01:07:42Josephine is your sister.
01:07:45Tell me,
01:07:47how should I reward her?
01:07:52Empress Dowager,
01:07:53we were never close
01:07:54since childhood.
01:07:56Our bond is not strong.
01:07:57I don't get a say in this.
01:07:59Since you have agreed
01:08:02to the marriage alliance,
01:08:03then so be it.
01:08:04Let's go back.
01:08:07Thank you for your grace.
01:08:18Evelyn Sterling,
01:08:20I thought you had
01:08:22sworn high already.
01:08:24Turns out,
01:08:25you're still that low.
01:08:27You've ruined our parents
01:08:28and montage.
01:08:29and also got me
01:08:30thrown into
01:08:30the Office of Discipline.
01:08:32About that,
01:08:34I will make sure
01:08:36you pay it.
01:08:46Edmund,
01:08:47let me out, please.
01:08:49This is driving me crazy.
01:08:55You don't get to complain.
01:08:57If it weren't for you
01:08:58and Josephine,
01:08:59two fools,
01:09:00I wouldn't have offended
01:09:01His Majesty
01:09:02and lost my position.
01:09:04It's all Josephine's fault.
01:09:08Husband!
01:09:09Why are you back?
01:09:13The Empress Dowager
01:09:14pardoned me.
01:09:15I'm released
01:09:16from Office of Discipline.
01:09:17After everything
01:09:18you put us through,
01:09:19you still have the guts
01:09:21to come back?
01:09:22Edmund,
01:09:22it's all because
01:09:23Evelyn,
01:09:24it's all because Evelyn.
01:09:24It's all because Evelyn.
01:09:25Instead of blaming
01:09:26each other here,
01:09:27you should think
01:09:28how to get back at her.
01:09:30Get back at her?
01:09:32She's like royalty now.
01:09:33How to get back at her,
01:09:35huh?
01:09:36I saw her once
01:09:37at the Office of Discipline.
01:09:39She was wearing
01:09:40the lonely palace
01:09:41mace uniform.
01:09:43I don't think
01:09:43she's royal.
01:09:45A palace mace?
01:09:45Could it be that
01:09:48His Majesty
01:09:49married her on a whim?
01:09:50Totally.
01:09:51If His Majesty
01:09:52really liked her,
01:09:53why would she be
01:09:53wearing that uniform?
01:09:55Spring Blossom Banquet
01:09:57is coming.
01:09:58All the nobles
01:09:59will be present then.
01:10:01It's the perfect opportunity.
01:10:03Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:10:05We're invited too.
01:10:07So I can go then?
01:10:11What are you
01:10:11scheming this time?
01:10:12Don't worry.
01:10:17At the banquet,
01:10:18I'll impress everyone.
01:10:20As long as I win
01:10:20the Empress Dowager's favor,
01:10:22our family will rise again.
01:10:42It's going to be
01:10:46all nobles
01:10:47and high officials.
01:10:48Check everything thoroughly.
01:10:50We cannot afford
01:10:50any mistakes.
01:10:54Oh, stop worrying.
01:10:56You've confirmed
01:10:56every detail
01:10:57multiple times already.
01:10:58There won't be
01:10:59any problems.
01:11:00Let's hope so.
01:11:03Avalyn.
01:11:04If you like these pastries,
01:11:16I can get you more.
01:11:21Glad this is a remote area
01:11:23with no patrols.
01:11:25Otherwise,
01:11:26I can't meet like this.
01:11:27Avalyn.
01:11:38Once the banquet ends,
01:11:40wait for me here.
01:11:41I got something to tell you.
01:11:43All right.
01:11:44I'll wait for you here.
01:11:53Husband!
01:11:54Look over there!
01:11:54Look over there!
01:11:57Avalyn!
01:12:00And a palace guard!
01:12:05Oh, right!
01:12:06You're on duty today.
01:12:08Let's hurry back.
01:12:11Remember,
01:12:12wait for me here.
01:12:13Okay.
01:12:14Take these.
01:12:19Hey!
01:12:20You really can't go
01:12:21a moment without a man.
01:12:23Just got tossed aside
01:12:25by His Majesty
01:12:25and now
01:12:26you're ready
01:12:27with the guard.
01:12:38This is the Imperial Palace.
01:12:40Not your place,
01:12:41all right?
01:12:41Everything you do here
01:12:42is washed by His Majesty
01:12:44in the Empress Gouger.
01:12:45They were just released.
01:12:46Have you learned your lesson?
01:12:48My husband and I
01:12:49were invited here
01:12:51as honored guests
01:12:52for the banquet.
01:12:53You're nothing but a maid.
01:12:54If you serve us well,
01:12:57I may reward you.
01:12:59If not,
01:13:00you'll get kicked out.
01:13:02You were lucky
01:13:03to have gone away last time.
01:13:06No one can protect you
01:13:08this time!
01:13:09What do you mean?
01:13:10I want to destroy you
01:13:14from head to toe.
01:13:17Greetings,
01:13:17Empress Dowager.
01:13:28Greetings, Empress Dowager.
01:13:30Evelyn,
01:13:32preparing the banquet
01:13:33must be exhausting.
01:13:33Once it is over,
01:13:35I will reward you properly.
01:13:38It's just my duty.
01:13:39Thanks for your grace.
01:13:41Your Highness,
01:13:43I have something to say.
01:13:44Speak.
01:13:45I wish to report
01:13:47Evelyn's improper
01:13:48relationship with the guard.
01:13:52Oh?
01:13:52I saw it with my own eyes.
01:13:55Evelyn and a guard
01:13:56were extremely intimate.
01:13:58When caught,
01:13:59they tried to cover it up.
01:14:00If they're this bold
01:14:01in broad daylight,
01:14:02who knows what they do
01:14:03in secret?
01:14:05Your Highness,
01:14:06I did have a contact
01:14:08with a guard.
01:14:09But before entering
01:14:10the palace,
01:14:10we already had
01:14:11developed feelings.
01:14:12In the palace,
01:14:13we only met occasionally.
01:14:15There was nothing improper.
01:14:16If you weren't guilty,
01:14:18why did you hurry away
01:14:19in that moment you saw us?
01:14:21This should be punishable
01:14:22by death.
01:14:25Your Highness,
01:14:27I insist on seeing him.
01:14:28If this matter
01:14:29deserves punishment,
01:14:31please spare the guard's life.
01:14:33Since neither of you
01:14:35are innocent,
01:14:36Your Highness,
01:14:37please summon the guard
01:14:39and execute them.
01:14:40Yes, Your Highness,
01:14:41punish them both
01:14:42to uphold palace discipline.
01:14:45You two want me
01:14:46to execute the guard?
01:14:51You two want me
01:14:52to execute the guard?
01:14:56In the palace,
01:14:57it is indeed forbidden
01:14:58for palace maids
01:14:59and guards to mingle.
01:15:01But Evelyn,
01:15:02for organizing the banquet,
01:15:03put in great effort.
01:15:05She's redeemed herself.
01:15:06I have decided
01:15:07to spare her
01:15:08from punishment.
01:15:09Bye!
01:15:09Evelyn,
01:15:10lead me to the banquet site.
01:15:12Yes.
01:15:13Yes.
01:15:13Yes.
01:15:13Yes.
01:15:13Yes.
01:15:15Yes.
01:15:15Yes.
01:15:15Yes.
01:15:15Yes.
01:15:15Yes.
01:15:15Yes.
01:15:15Yes.
01:15:15Yes.
01:15:15Yes.
01:15:15Yes.
01:15:15Yes.
01:15:16Yes.
01:15:16Yes.
01:15:17Yes.
01:15:17Yes.
01:15:17Yes.
01:15:17Yes.
01:15:17Yes.
01:15:21Yes.
01:15:25Farewell,
01:15:26Your Highness.
01:15:28She escaped again.
01:15:30Why is she always
01:15:31so lucky?
01:15:32First the Emperor
01:15:33protected her
01:15:34and now the Empress
01:15:35dowager.
01:15:35Even she was entrusted
01:15:36with the whole banquet?
01:15:38Since she's in charge
01:15:39of the banquet,
01:15:40we can just...
01:15:48Your Majesty,
01:15:49the banquet is that way.
01:15:50Where are you going?
01:15:51Where are you going?
01:15:51It's about to begin.
01:15:52You'll be late.
01:15:53I've thought it over.
01:15:55I should let her know
01:15:56that she eats before the banquet.
01:15:57Go tell Evelyn
01:15:59to meet me where we were before.
01:16:04Eunuch Langley.
01:16:06Come here.
01:16:15What's going on?
01:16:16You've done a great job this time.
01:16:18They're talking about
01:16:19how good the banquet is.
01:16:20Even an Empress dowager
01:16:21looks pleased.
01:16:22That's great.
01:16:25Someone is waiting for you
01:16:26in that courtyard.
01:16:26Go.
01:16:27How is it?
01:16:31Assassins!
01:16:31Protect the Empress dowager!
01:16:36What's going on inside?
01:16:37An assassin disguised in sedan, sir.
01:16:39Lord Montague took the blow
01:16:40for Her Majesty
01:16:41and the assassin escaped.
01:16:42What?
01:16:44Take her away.
01:16:45What are you doing?
01:16:47There is an assassin.
01:16:49We are arresting Evelyn
01:16:50to the judicial court.
01:16:51What?
01:16:51Me?
01:16:52What?
01:16:53What?
01:16:53What?
01:16:53What?
01:16:53What?
01:16:53What?
01:16:53What?
01:16:59My lord,
01:17:00he's the suspect.
01:17:01Maid Evelyn Sterling,
01:17:03he's the Prime Minister.
01:17:04So,
01:17:05she's the one
01:17:05who harmed Dana.
01:17:07Chancellor Cogwell,
01:17:09she was in charge
01:17:09of the palace banquet.
01:17:11How dare you?
01:17:12How dare you plan
01:17:13assassination
01:17:14against the Empress dowager?
01:17:16Are you rebelling?
01:17:18I'm not.
01:17:19I personally verified
01:17:20the identity of everyone.
01:17:22I have no idea
01:17:23where the assassin came from.
01:17:24Of course you don't.
01:17:25Right before the banquet,
01:17:26you were secretly meeting
01:17:27with the guard.
01:17:28You were so affectionate
01:17:29that you just ignore
01:17:30everything around you.
01:17:32What?
01:17:33Is this true?
01:17:34Chancellor,
01:17:35I can testify.
01:17:36That very guard
01:17:37is still at the Ministry of Rights.
01:17:38Someone.
01:17:39Bring that guard here.
01:17:40I will get to the bottom of this.
01:17:44Why hasn't Evelyn come yet?
01:18:01Lucas.
01:18:02Sir.
01:18:03Here's the guard.
01:18:04Are you alright, Lucas?
01:18:08Evelyn Sterling,
01:18:09how do you plead?
01:18:10Please investigate thoroughly.
01:18:12Since you're as an assassin,
01:18:13it's my fault indeed.
01:18:14I only beg you
01:18:15not to implicate anyone else.
01:18:16The palace is heavily guarded.
01:18:18An outsider
01:18:19could never get in.
01:18:20Evelyn must have
01:18:21secretly colluded
01:18:21with the assassin,
01:18:22if not for my husband's
01:18:24quick reaction.
01:18:25You should have been
01:18:26executed by now.
01:18:28Chancellor Cogwell,
01:18:29I really don't know
01:18:30about the assassin.
01:18:31I beg you
01:18:31to grant me some time.
01:18:33I will cover the truth
01:18:34behind this matter.
01:18:35Enough.
01:18:36Made Evelyn Sterling
01:18:37colluded with the guard,
01:18:39disrupted palace order,
01:18:40and put the Empress
01:18:41Starwager in danger.
01:18:42both of them
01:18:43are to be executed
01:18:44immediately.
01:18:51No.
01:18:53Chesler,
01:18:54we broke over water.
01:18:55Chesler,
01:18:55I'm begging.
01:18:57Chesler.
01:18:57Chesler,
01:18:58don't.
01:18:59Chesler,
01:19:00please.
01:19:01Chesler.
01:19:03Lucas,
01:19:04I'm sorry.
01:19:04It's not my fault.
01:19:06I'm so sorry.
01:19:25Stop now.
01:19:26Don't you dare touch her.
01:19:27Long live your majesty.
01:19:33Long live your majesty.
01:19:37Long live your majesty.
01:19:41How dare you
01:19:42condemning the innocent
01:19:44without discerning
01:19:45right from wrong.
01:19:47This is totally
01:19:48outrageous.
01:19:49You keep going
01:19:56against Evelyn
01:19:57at every turn.
01:19:58Today,
01:19:58if I weren't here,
01:20:00you would have
01:20:00gotten your way.
01:20:02Your majesty,
01:20:02I didn't meant
01:20:04to hurt my sister.
01:20:05Your majesty,
01:20:06Evelyn was in charge
01:20:07of the banquet,
01:20:07but she allowed
01:20:08assassins in to hurt
01:20:09the Empress Starwager.
01:20:10I beg you.
01:20:11Your majesty,
01:20:12issue an order at once
01:20:13to imprison her
01:20:13for further interrogation.
01:20:15Chesler,
01:20:15God was right.
01:20:16If it weren't for
01:20:16my husband's presence today,
01:20:18the Empress Starwager
01:20:19might not have survived.
01:20:20Your majesty,
01:20:20my life is of no consequence,
01:20:22but Evelyn must be punished.
01:20:26Your majesty,
01:20:27my life is of no consequence,
01:20:29but Evelyn must be punished.
01:20:31If this happens again,
01:20:33who will protect the palace?
01:20:37Please.
01:20:38You must punish Evelyn.
01:20:40Adrian Montague,
01:20:41are you making decisions for me?
01:20:43The Empress Starwager
01:20:44has been traumatized today.
01:20:45If your majesty
01:20:46doesn't punish Evelyn,
01:20:47what if others
01:20:48follow her example?
01:20:49The consequences
01:20:50would be unimaginable.
01:20:51I request your majesty
01:20:52to punish Evelyn.
01:20:53I beg your majesty
01:20:54to punish Evelyn.
01:21:02Is that so?
01:21:03If I have evidence
01:21:04that Evelyn's innocent,
01:21:05what should you
01:21:06be punished for?
01:21:07be a good thing?
01:21:08I'm going to be a good thing.
01:21:12I'm going to be a good thing.
01:21:13I'm going to be a good thing.
01:21:13I'm going to be a good thing.
01:21:14I'm going to be a good thing.
01:21:14I'm going to be a good thing.
01:21:15Nicholas,
01:21:15Nicholas,
01:21:16I'm asking you!
01:21:18They're fine.
01:21:20What's wrong about her?
01:21:22I'm willing to receive
01:21:23the same punishment.
01:21:24Okay.
01:21:26Come on,
01:21:27bring them to me.
01:21:28Your majesty is wise.
01:21:32Following your orders,
01:21:34I've already arranged for guards
01:21:36to capture the assassin.
01:21:38Your majesty,
01:21:39spare me.
01:21:40The assassination
01:21:41was all Josephine and Andrew's idea.
01:21:43I was surely forced into it.
01:21:44Your majesty,
01:21:44to spare me.
01:21:45Your majesty,
01:21:46please spare me.
01:21:46It's over.
01:21:47It's all over.
01:21:48Guards,
01:21:49take Nicholas away.
01:21:51Your majesty,
01:21:52I've been
01:21:53serving the royals
01:21:54for decades.
01:21:56I'm absolutely loyal.
01:21:58Your majesty,
01:21:58please,
01:21:59don't do this to me.
01:22:00Your majesty.
01:22:06Your majesty.
01:22:07That's for you two.
01:22:09Your majesty,
01:22:09your majesty.
01:22:10This has nothing to do with me.
01:22:11It was all her.
01:22:12She ordered me to do it.
01:22:13You're lying.
01:22:14Your majesty,
01:22:15I was only jealous of my sister.
01:22:16The assassination
01:22:17was all Adrian's idea.
01:22:19And,
01:22:19and taking the flu
01:22:20was all part of this act.
01:22:21Your majesty.
01:22:22Damn it.
01:22:23How dare you betray me.
01:22:25Enough.
01:22:26Adrian Montague,
01:22:28Josephine Sterling,
01:22:29as masterminds,
01:22:31will be executed right now.
01:22:35Lock Catherine
01:22:36in the judicial court.

01:22:50It's all because of yourself,
01:22:51not me.
01:22:54You brought all of this upon yourself.
