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!

00:00:23Duh!

00:00:53Murder!
00:00:54Murder!
00:00:55Murder!
00:00:56Murder!
00:00:57A slimy recovery is nothing but an illusion.
00:01:03If I were given another chance, I would rather forsake all these honors.
00:01:27Master, I have already spread the word.
00:01:33The 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.
00:01:45You two better aim at the right man.
00:01:47Whichever of you marries well shall bring glory to our family.
00:01:50Have I been reborn just three years ago?
00:01:53The 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.
00:02:10Feigning modesty and humility, yet now, it seems, Josephine has also been reborn.
00:02:21Lady Josephine, this way! Give it to me! Lady Josephine, come on!
00:02:25Lady Josephine, with his own mother.
00:02:26In this life, I have to marry Adrian!
00:02:38Tim, Adrian, second son of the Montagues.
00:02:41The Montague family are relatives of the royal family.
00:02:44Which means we shall become royal kin as well.
00:02:47I actually altered my fate.
00:02:51Three years later, Adrienne shall rise in rank, and I shall become a noble lady of honor.
00:02:58Josephine, you have screamed relentlessly.
00:03:01But little do you know that you're going to suffer a lot in the evil Montague family.
00:03:07Great, great, great.
00:03:09The whole family is counting on you.
00:03:10Oh, stop flattering me.
00:03:12I'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?
00:03:24You are truly fortunate.
00:03:26As your sister, I am happy for you.
00:03:29Evelyn, Lady Luck is with me this time.
00:03:32In this life, I will never let you overshadow me again.
00:03:41That is...
00:03:41Your Majesty!
00:03:45Your Majesty!
00:03:47Master, if the Empress tower did you find, you're dressed like this.
00:03:51Mother's been always pressing me.
00:03:53I can only leave the palace for some peace.
00:03:56This is a perfect chance to experience the life of ordinary folk.
00:04:00Hurry, you, Mr. Darling, so you're getting the bridal ball from Mary's.
00:04:03Let's have a look.
00:04:04In my past life, that beggar caught my bridal ball.
00:04:08I 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.
00:04:19Mother, 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.
00:04:37Powerful or not, rich or not, it's only written on water.
00:04:46In this life, I seek only a true companion to live a peaceful life till the end.
00:04:51It's him.
00:05:06It's him.
00:05:07The beggar that Josephine ran away from.
00:05:11Oh, oh no.
00:05:13It actually went to a beggar.
00:05:16Sister, what terrible luck you have.
00:05:19A beggar out of so many people down there, how do you expect father to hold his head high?
00:05:24Damn it!
00:05:25With so many people down there, how could you cast it to a beggar?
00:05:29Are you deliberately trying to shame me?
00:05:31What's done is done, sister.
00:05:33Do not be too upset.
00:05:35Though he is of lowly birth, but look, at least he got a pretty face.
00:05:40It 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.
00:05:49Now this will be quite the spectacle.
00:05:51The esteemed Lady Evelyn will marry a beggar?
00:05:53Everyone is watching.
00:05:54If she refuses, it's going to ruin their credit.
00:05:57Who would associate with them more?
00:06:02Hey, hey, hey, seize her!
00:06:04Don't let her escape!
00:06:05Master, how did this bridal ball end up in your hands?
00:06:08What should we do now?
00:06:09It's the Scottish!
00:06:10I'm dressed in such rags.
00:06:13She won't agree.
00:06:17Sister, why are you running?
00:06:19You cast a bridal ball yourself!
00:06:22You damn girl!
00:06:24Look at the filthy beggar you've got!
00:06:27If he becomes my son-in-law,
00:06:29it's going to be a huge disgrace to us!
00:06:32In my past life, I was mistreated by the Montagues
00:06:36and used for Sterling's ambitions.
00:06:39Thinking back now,
00:06:40perhaps marrying a beggar would be a better fate.
00:06:43The rule of the bridal ball is binding.
00:06:46Since he caught the ball, you should...
00:06:48I am willing to marry him!
00:06:55What?
00:06:56What?
00:06:56My name is Evelyn Sterling.
00:07:01What's yours?
00:07:03I am Luke...
00:07:05Lucas Prescott.
00:07:10With all present as my witnesses today,
00:07:14I, Evelyn Sterling,
00:07:16willing to take Lucas Prescott as my husband.
00:07:24Are you serious?
00:07:26Yeah.
00:07:29The ball is in your hands.
00:07:31You want to...
00:07:32reject me.
00:07:34I didn't.
00:07:36It's just that I'm poor as hell.
00:07:38Marrying me would mean a life of a certainty.
00:07:41Are you sure?
00:07:43We're not disabled or something.
00:07:46We may be poor now,
00:07:47but we can always earn our money.
00:07:50We can work hard
00:07:51to make a living ourselves.
00:07:53I've never seen someone so easily content.
00:07:57He's just a filthy beggar!
00:07:59You're really gonna marry him?
00:08:01Evelyn,
00:08:02you're sure about this?
00:08:04Marry this beggar,
00:08:06and your future is ruined!
00:08:07I do not believe that is true.
00:08:10Future won't be decided like that.
00:08:12Lucas,
00:08:13he may be in rags now,
00:08:15but I can see his humility
00:08:16and good manner.
00:08:18He's gonna make a difference, maybe.
00:08:20You are...
00:08:20Rule is rule.
00:08:23You're not eating your words,
00:08:25are you, sir?
00:08:25Indeed.
00:08:26If he refuses,
00:08:28that's breaking the rules,
00:08:29and gonna ruin their reputation.
00:08:31Seems well,
00:08:31she has to marry him.
00:08:32Indeed, marry him!
00:08:33Indeed, marry him!
00:08:34Indeed, marry him!
00:08:35Since you want to marry him,
00:08:37don't blame us in the future.
00:08:39You won't get a share
00:08:41of the coming glory of us.
00:08:43I understand.
00:08:44The matchmaking is concluded.
00:08:47Everyone disperse.
00:08:48Sister,
00:08:52no hard feelings.
00:08:55But marrying a beggar
00:08:57means you will spend your life beneath me.
00:09:01You should worry about yourself.
00:09:04Life with the Montague's
00:09:05is not as easy as you imagine.
00:09:16You...
00:09:17In three days,
00:09:22remember to come to propose.
00:09:23It's her or Mother's pressing,
00:09:25so I might as well...
00:09:27All right!
00:09:28I'll be there.
00:09:29Today,
00:09:35the second daughter
00:09:35of the Sarlene family
00:09:36is to be wed.
00:09:38Her dowry includes
00:09:39a pair of gold phoenix hairpins
00:09:40and laid with precious gems,
00:09:42plenty of boats
00:09:43of fine brocade,
00:09:44three land deeds
00:09:45for silk shops
00:09:46in the Eastern District.
00:09:47Lady Josephine Sterling's
00:09:48salary is worth a fortune,
00:09:50yet Lady Evelyn Sterling
00:09:51has nothing at all.
00:09:52They're both daughters
00:09:53of the Sarlene family,
00:09:54but the difference between them
00:09:55is astonishing.
00:09:56Sister,
00:09:57after marrying a beggar,
00:09:58you will likely toil
00:09:59for the rest of your life.
00:10:00I wonder if you can
00:10:01even endure such life.
00:10:03It's the bridegroom.
00:10:12The bridegroom has arrived.
00:10:15Oh,
00:10:16as expected of the second son
00:10:18of the Montague family,
00:10:19the spectacle is grand indeed.
00:10:21Of course,
00:10:21the Montagues
00:10:22hold immense power.
00:10:23Marrying into their family,
00:10:24Lady Josephine Sterling
00:10:25will live a life
00:10:26of endless luxury.
00:10:27Unlike Evelyn,
00:10:28marrying a beggar,
00:10:29this will certainly
00:10:30be an interesting sight
00:10:30to behold.
00:10:31My respects to my
00:10:33honor,
00:10:33father,
00:10:33and mother-in-law.
00:10:34Please rise,
00:10:35my son-in-law.
00:10:35My son-in-law.
00:10:36Such an elaborate
00:10:37wedding procession
00:10:39is a spectacle
00:10:39worthy of Highgate.
00:10:41For our dear Josephine
00:10:42to be regarded
00:10:43so highly by you
00:10:44is an honor
00:10:45to the Sterling family.
00:10:49Sister,
00:10:51the auspicious hour
00:10:52is nearly over.
00:10:53Why has your husband
00:10:53not come for you?
00:10:55Could it be that
00:10:55he's not coming at all?
00:11:01I,
00:11:04your humble son-in-law,
00:11:05greet my honored
00:11:06father-in-law.
00:11:12My lady.
00:11:17My lady.
00:11:18Are you here
00:11:19to beg for the alms
00:11:19or take a bride?
00:11:21Dressed in such rags,
00:11:22do you not feel ashamed?
00:11:23Compared to Lord Montague,
00:11:25you're as far apart
00:11:26as heaven and earth.
00:11:28Just what are you wearing
00:11:29in front of so many
00:11:31esteemed officials?
00:11:32Are you not bringing
00:11:33shame upon me?
00:11:34Today is your wedding day.
00:11:36And yet you came
00:11:37dressed like this?
00:11:38Do you not find
00:11:39this is a disgrace?
00:11:40Do you not find
00:11:41this humiliating?
00:11:42Marriage is a lifelong
00:11:43commitment,
00:11:44building upon sincerity,
00:11:45not mere appearances.
00:11:46The man I,
00:11:47Evelyn Sterling,
00:11:48have chosen
00:11:48is not one whose worth
00:11:50can be swayed
00:11:50by idle words.
00:11:51Have you not
00:11:52embarrassed us enough?
00:11:54Master,
00:11:55do not be anchored.
00:11:57From the moment
00:11:57Evelyn steps beyond
00:11:59this threshold,
00:12:00she'll no longer
00:12:01be a Sterling.
00:12:02The auspicious hour
00:12:03has arrived.
00:12:04Bring the bride
00:12:05to the carriage.
00:12:13This is the...
00:12:15Congratulations,
00:12:18Master Sterling.
00:12:19Your son-in-law
00:12:20is truly an exceptional man.
00:12:24Many things
00:12:24Deputy Minister,
00:12:26please come inside.
00:12:27Off to you.
00:12:30Surely you didn't
00:12:31arrive on foot today.
00:12:34On such a big day,
00:12:35will you have the bride
00:12:36walk all the way
00:12:37to your home?
00:12:39Unheard of.
00:12:40Indeed.
00:12:41Not like my husband.
00:12:46My lady,
00:12:47please,
00:12:48allow me to take you home.
00:12:49Bow to the heavens
00:13:09and the earth.
00:13:11Is this the place
00:13:12they've found us to live in?
00:13:13A shabby place like this?
00:13:21Is it even fit for living?
00:13:23I just didn't want you
00:13:24to blow your cover.
00:13:25And bow to each other
00:13:27as husband and wife.
00:13:28The ceremony
00:13:35is complete!
00:13:38My lady,
00:13:39I have put you
00:13:40through hardship
00:13:40having a life with me
00:13:42in such a shabby place.
00:13:43Not at all.
00:13:45I actually think
00:13:46it's rather spacious.
00:13:48At least,
00:13:49it shields us
00:13:49from the wind and rain.
00:13:50If we work hard
00:13:53from now on,
00:13:53keep this place tidy,
00:13:55it'll soon feel
00:13:56much more comfortable.
00:13:57At this moment,
00:13:58I have nothing of value
00:13:59to give you.
00:14:01The shade pendant
00:14:02was left to me
00:14:03by my father.
00:14:04I've carried it with me
00:14:05all these years.
00:14:07And now,
00:14:08I'm giving it to you.
00:14:14It's so precious.
00:14:16Are you certain of it?
00:14:20All right.
00:14:21I will cherish it well.
00:14:26You're up.
00:14:49Breakfast is ready.
00:14:50For you.
00:14:51Hey.
00:14:55Where are you going?
00:14:57Today is the wife's
00:14:58homecoming day.
00:14:59I made telemeds
00:15:00for my parents,
00:15:01but they're not quite finished.
00:15:02I need to buy
00:15:02some more threats
00:15:03and complete them
00:15:04before I return home.
00:15:05All right.
00:15:06I'll go with you.
00:15:07All right.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:14Greetings,
00:15:15your ma-
00:15:15Greetings,
00:15:15your majesty!
00:15:16Greetings,
00:15:21your majesty!
00:15:21Greetings,
00:15:21your ma-
00:15:22Who are they?
00:15:27The palace is too complicated.
00:15:29Once everything's settled,
00:15:30I'll reveal my identity
00:15:31to Evelyn.
00:15:32They are...
00:15:33They're here for Victor.
00:15:37Yes,
00:15:42I used to serve
00:15:43in the palace.
00:15:44These are all
00:15:44old acquaintances.
00:15:48Evelyn,
00:15:49I'll help Victor
00:15:50to entertain the guests.
00:15:51Will you be all right
00:15:52buying threat on your own?
00:15:55Yes.
00:15:55Hmm.
00:15:56Speak!
00:16:09What happened?
00:16:10The Empress Dowager
00:16:10distressed over
00:16:11your majesty's presence
00:16:12and suddenly collapsed.
00:16:13What?
00:16:14Victor,
00:16:14stay here and protect
00:16:15Evelyn.
00:16:16Let's head back.
00:16:17Yes,
00:16:17your majesty.
00:16:18Get someone
00:16:19to deliver
00:16:20some valuable gifts
00:16:20to Sterling Estate.
00:16:22Say that they're
00:16:23Evelyn's homecoming gifts.
00:16:24Yes,
00:16:24your majesty.
00:16:25Let's go.
00:16:25Father.
00:16:27Mother.
00:16:28Your daughter
00:16:29has returned.
00:16:31Father?
00:16:33Why has sister
00:16:34returned alone?
00:16:39Today is your
00:16:40homecoming day.
00:16:42Sister,
00:16:42why have you
00:16:43returned alone?
00:16:44Are you ashamed
00:16:45of your beggar husband?
00:16:47So you didn't even
00:16:48bring him to meet
00:16:49the family.
00:16:49My husband
00:16:50wanted to come,
00:16:51but something
00:16:52urgent came up.
00:16:53Since being married
00:16:54to the beggar,
00:16:54Lady Evelyn Sterling,
00:16:56must have suffered
00:16:57a great deal.
00:16:58You look much
00:16:58frailer than before.
00:17:01Had you not
00:17:02married that filthy
00:17:03beggar,
00:17:04perhaps I would have
00:17:04taken you as a
00:17:05concubine.
00:17:06At least you
00:17:06wouldn't have
00:17:07fallen to such
00:17:07a state.
00:17:08That will not
00:17:09be necessary.
00:17:10I am living well.
00:17:11As of for you,
00:17:12sister,
00:17:13it has been
00:17:13quite a few days
00:17:14since you had
00:17:15seen your husband
00:17:16before.
00:17:16you...
00:17:17Screw you,
00:17:19Adrian.
00:17:19Went drinking
00:17:20with corsets
00:17:21on our wedding
00:17:21night and now
00:17:22everyone knows
00:17:23we are utterly
00:17:24humiliating me.
00:17:25Josephine.
00:17:30Father,
00:17:31mother,
00:17:31greetings to you
00:17:33both.
00:17:34Greetings to you
00:17:35both.
00:17:36You've returned
00:17:37alone.
00:17:37How can you
00:17:38still have the
00:17:38face to come
00:17:39back?
00:17:39What does
00:17:40your husband
00:17:40do all day,
00:17:41not even
00:17:42accompanying you
00:17:43for your
00:17:43homecoming?
00:17:44Mother,
00:17:45you're thinking
00:17:46too highly
00:17:46of her.
00:17:47That filthy
00:17:48beggar is
00:17:48probably begging
00:17:49in the streets
00:17:50right now.
00:17:51How could he
00:17:51possibly compare
00:17:52to my husband?
00:17:54Father-in-law,
00:17:56your humble
00:17:56son-in-law
00:17:57has brought
00:17:57a small gift.
00:18:03Our dear
00:18:04Josephine has
00:18:05truly found
00:18:05herself a
00:18:06fine husband.
00:18:07For our
00:18:07daughter to
00:18:07marry such
00:18:08a fine
00:18:08gentleman,
00:18:09it must be
00:18:10the blessing
00:18:10she has
00:18:10earned over
00:18:11eight lifetimes.
00:18:12Unlike
00:18:13someone.
00:18:14who chose
00:18:15a beggar
00:18:15as her
00:18:16husband.
00:18:16Our
00:18:16sterling
00:18:17family has
00:18:17raised you
00:18:18for so
00:18:18many years,
00:18:19and yet you
00:18:20come back
00:18:20empty-handed
00:18:21on your
00:18:21homecoming
00:18:22day.
00:18:23Indeed,
00:18:24sister.
00:18:25This is
00:18:26my
00:18:26homecoming
00:18:26gift.
00:18:27Have you
00:18:28fallen into
00:18:28such poverty
00:18:29that you
00:18:29cannot even
00:18:30afford a
00:18:30proper
00:18:31homecoming
00:18:31gift?
00:18:38Father,
00:18:40mother,
00:18:40these are
00:18:41the two
00:18:41protective
00:18:41telemes I
00:18:42made for
00:18:42you by
00:18:43hand.
00:18:43a blessing
00:18:43to you
00:18:44both.
00:18:44Wishing
00:18:44you peace
00:18:45and prosperity.
00:18:47Get out!
00:18:51What a
00:18:52disgrace!
00:18:53Sister,
00:18:54is this
00:18:55truly what
00:18:55you've
00:18:56brought?
00:18:56A few
00:18:57scraps of
00:18:57cloth with
00:18:58embroidery.
00:18:59How dare
00:18:59you present
00:19:00these?
00:19:01Well,
00:19:01she did
00:19:01marry a
00:19:02beggar,
00:19:02so her
00:19:03gift befits
00:19:04her status
00:19:05perfectly.
00:19:07Oh,
00:19:07right.
00:19:08She has
00:19:09married a
00:19:09beggar.
00:19:10What else
00:19:10could we
00:19:11expect from
00:19:11her?
00:19:18Master,
00:19:18madam,
00:19:19someone from
00:19:19the palace
00:19:20has arrived
00:19:20with gifts.
00:19:21They say
00:19:21they are
00:19:21the homecoming
00:19:22gifts from
00:19:22Lady Evelyn.
00:19:26Master
00:19:27Shirley,
00:19:28who exactly
00:19:28has your
00:19:29eldest daughter
00:19:30married
00:19:30a mountain
00:19:30nobility?
00:19:31Even the
00:19:31palace
00:19:31saw fit to
00:19:32have me
00:19:32personally
00:19:33deliver this
00:19:33gift to you.
00:19:34you must
00:19:34hold great
00:19:35influence
00:19:35indeed.
00:19:36Gifts
00:19:36from the
00:19:36palace?
00:19:37That must
00:19:37be from
00:19:38his majesty
00:19:38himself.
00:19:39It was
00:19:39personally
00:19:40arranged by
00:19:40the chief
00:19:41eunuch at
00:19:41his majesty's
00:19:42side.
00:19:42He said
00:19:43for the
00:19:44Starling
00:19:44family's
00:19:45eldest
00:19:47daughter.
00:19:50Mr.
00:19:51Ashford,
00:19:52you must
00:19:52be mistaken.
00:19:54All of
00:19:54Highgate knows
00:19:55that Evelyn
00:19:56married a
00:19:57beggar.
00:19:58How could
00:19:59she possibly
00:19:59have ties
00:20:00to anyone
00:20:01in the
00:20:01palace?
00:20:02Oh,
00:20:03this must
00:20:04surely be
00:20:05a courtesy
00:20:05to young
00:20:07Master
00:20:07Montague.
00:20:10Indeed.
00:20:11In this
00:20:11world,
00:20:12those seeking
00:20:13favor with
00:20:13the Montague
00:20:14family are
00:20:15countless.
00:20:16Even those
00:20:16in the
00:20:16palace are
00:20:17paying their
00:20:17respects.
00:20:18Father-in-law,
00:20:19please accept
00:20:19with joy.
00:20:22Josephine
00:20:22has married
00:20:23a remarkable
00:20:24husband.
00:20:25Just look
00:20:25at the
00:20:25grandeur of
00:20:26her homecoming.
00:20:27Such lavish
00:20:28gifts.
00:20:29Our
00:20:29Sterling
00:20:29family is
00:20:30truly honored
00:20:30beyond measure.
00:20:33The gifts
00:20:34have been
00:20:35delivered.
00:20:35I shall
00:20:35take my
00:20:36leave.
00:20:37Oh,
00:20:37take care.
00:20:38Take care.
00:20:41Sister,
00:20:42my husband
00:20:43has prepared
00:20:43two sets
00:20:44of homecoming
00:20:44gifts,
00:20:45seeing all
00:20:46these.
00:20:46Do you
00:20:47not feel
00:20:47ashamed?
00:20:48It's not
00:20:49about the
00:20:49quality of
00:20:50gifts,
00:20:50but the
00:20:50sincerity
00:20:50behind
00:20:51them.
00:20:51I see
00:20:52nothing
00:20:52inappropriate
00:20:52in this.
00:20:54I've poured
00:20:54my heart
00:20:55and effort
00:20:55into raising
00:20:56you,
00:20:56and yet,
00:20:56not only
00:20:57did you
00:20:57marry a
00:20:57beggar,
00:20:58but you
00:20:58even bring
00:20:59back these
00:20:59worthless
00:20:59rags to
00:21:00disgrace me.
00:21:00The Sterling
00:21:01family has
00:21:02no place
00:21:02for such
00:21:03a disgraceful
00:21:03daughter.
00:21:05Simply
00:21:05because I
00:21:06married
00:21:06Lucas,
00:21:07you feel
00:21:07justified
00:21:08to humiliate
00:21:09me like
00:21:09this.
00:21:09Josephine
00:21:10acts in
00:21:10the best
00:21:11interest
00:21:11of the
00:21:11Sterling
00:21:11family,
00:21:12unlike
00:21:12you,
00:21:13who
00:21:13married
00:21:13a beggar
00:21:14bringing
00:21:14disgrace
00:21:15upon us
00:21:15all.
00:21:17Disgrace?
00:21:19It's only
00:21:19because Josephine
00:21:20married into
00:21:21wealth that
00:21:22you so readily
00:21:23indulge her.
00:21:24Insolent
00:21:24child,
00:21:25such outrageous
00:21:26defiance.
00:21:26Who has
00:21:27put these
00:21:27ideas in
00:21:28your head?
00:21:28Is it
00:21:29not the
00:21:29truth?
00:21:30In your
00:21:32eyes,
00:21:33a daughter
00:21:34is nothing
00:21:34more than
00:21:34a pawn
00:21:35to suck
00:21:35your power
00:21:36and favor?
00:21:37Outrageous!
00:21:38How dare
00:21:39you speak
00:21:40to your
00:21:40father in
00:21:41such a
00:21:41manner?
00:21:45A dragon
00:21:46jade
00:21:46pendant?
00:21:49Outrageous!
00:21:51And
00:21:51I must
00:21:52inform
00:21:52his majesty.
00:21:55Give it
00:21:56back to me!
00:21:56this
00:21:58jade
00:21:58pendant
00:21:58looks
00:21:59of
00:21:59fine
00:22:00quality.
00:22:01From

00:22:01did
00:22:02you

00:22:02sister?

00:22:05Lucas.
00:22:05Give it
00:22:05back!
00:22:08That
00:22:08wretched beggar?
00:22:09He
00:22:10will never
00:22:10possess
00:22:11such a
00:22:11fine
00:22:12pendant.
00:22:12He
00:22:13must
00:22:13have
00:22:13stolen
00:22:13it
00:22:14from
00:22:14somewhere.
00:22:15Would

00:22:15you
00:22:15to
00:22:16make
00:22:16such
00:22:16rash
00:22:16accusations?
00:22:17Lucas

00:22:18noble
00:22:18birth
00:22:19like
00:22:19you,
00:22:19but
00:22:19you
00:22:19believe
00:22:20that
00:22:20possessing
00:22:20a
00:22:20jade

00:22:21is

00:22:21rightful
00:22:21due.
00:22:22yet Lucas

00:22:22not
00:22:22worthy
00:22:23of
00:22:23the
00:22:23same.

00:25:01only one

00:25:02has

00:25:09the

00:25:10I
00:25:10will
00:25:11walk.
00:25:16For the sake of a filthy beggar, you would go to such lengths? You must have lost your mind.
00:25:36For a mere jade pendant, a lady born into privilege would willingly walk across burning charcoal. No wonder she was foolish enough to marry a mere beggar.
00:25:46After all, what does a beggar have to his name but worthless trinkets? 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. And now, I'm giving it to you.
00:26:14For me, my lady.
00:26:16Lucas, do not worry. I will reclaim the jade pendant.
00:26:33Can you...
00:26:34return the jade pendant to me now?
00:26:38You want it?
00:26:41Then crawl over and take it!
00:26:43As long as you crawl over, this jade pendant will be yours.
00:27:02The jade pendant was left to me by my father. I've carried it with me all these years.
00:27:06And now, I'm giving it to you.
00:27:12All right.
00:27:13I will cherish it, Will.
00:27:15You claim to cherish your love for that filthy beggar.
00:27:29You claim to cherish your love for that filthy beggar. But if you were disfigured, would your dearest husband still want you?
00:27:48Why are you looking at me like that?
00:27:52I have long told you, the fate of a woman who wets a beggar can only be one to be trampled upon at will.
00:28:00You exhaust yourself trying to torment me.
00:28:03But do you truly believe you'll get your way?
00:28:06I want you to spend the rest of your days wallowing in the gutter, watching as I rise to become the most esteemed woman in the world!
00:28:24His majesty has arrived!
00:28:26Who dares to lay a hand on my woman?
00:28:37Evelyn, I'm sorry. I'm late.
00:28:42Just leave.
00:28:43Lucas, I didn't lose your jade pendant.
00:28:52Did they say it was his majesty? How could it be him?
00:28:55That beggar is dressed in such luxurious robes. And those men, are they the imperial guards? Why would they take orders from a beggar?
00:29:02I heard that filthy beggar's brother once served in the palace. Is it natural for him to procure some robes?
00:29:07That wretch beggar has suffered humiliation last time, and now he has come to regain his dignity?
00:29:12Ha! What a joke! A mere beggar, daring to put on an act in the sterling estate?
00:29:17Look at the fine husband you've chosen.
00:29:19Useless is one thing, but to be so audacious? As to steal from the imperial palace? If his majesty were to find out, do you really believe you will be spared?
00:29:26Deviant fools. You're doomed!
00:29:28You! What do you think you're doing?
00:29:31You! What do you think you're doing?
00:29:33Evelyn, come with me.
00:29:35Evelyn, what's wrong?
00:29:45Who did this?!
00:29:47Lucas!
00:29:48Lucas!
00:29:56Yes, it was me! So what? I was only trying to help my dear sister. Who would have thought she would walk barefoot across a burning charcoal? I wonder what she was thinking? Such a fool!
00:30:06Silence! And who do you think you are to dare raise your voice before me?
00:30:10Yes, I'm insulting her. Because she married a worthless man. I am a noble lady with the Montag family. You are nothing but insects beneath my feet. Even if I were to kill you here and now, you ought to kneel and sack me for it.
00:30:23Let's see how much longer you can keep up this charade. Guard! Seize this filthy beggar, Neville and Sterling!
00:30:28Wait.
00:30:29How dare you! Humiliate my lady! Seize them! Seize them!
00:30:42How dare you! I'm Lady Joseph of Montag!
00:30:46The husband, save me!
00:30:47You filthy beggar! Guards! Whoever kills him for me, I shall reward him with ten tails of gold!
00:30:52Insolent, wretch! Lord Montague is of royal lineage!
00:30:58Who dare lay a hand on him, you shall make an enemy of the entire Montague family!
00:31:02And what of it?
00:31:04Anyone who dares harm my lady shall only have one face, death!
00:31:11You filthy beggar! You're taking this act too far!
00:31:14Before I lose my temper, release me at once! I might disappear your life!
00:31:17You've tortured Evelyn to such a wretched state!
00:31:20Press their faces!
00:31:22Straight into the burning charcoal!
00:31:26No!
00:31:28Oh! No! No! What are you doing? No!
00:31:31Stop! Once the judicial court arrives, you are doomed!
00:31:34All right. My brother is an official of the Imperial court. Do you really think you'll walk away alive?
00:31:40I'd like to see if the judicial court would tolerate this!
00:31:46Carry on!
00:31:48Help!
00:31:49No! Help!
00:31:50No! Excuse me!
00:31:52You wretched fool! If you wish to die, don't drag your stoning family down with you!
00:31:56No!
00:31:57Stop!
00:31:59Brother! Brother, save me!
00:32:10Who is harming my brother?
00:32:16The Imperial Secret Guards! Why are they here?
00:32:20Yes! I summoned them!
00:32:23That voice! Could it be...
00:32:26Your Majesty!
00:32:28Your Majesty!
00:32:32The Emperor! How could this filthy beggar...
00:32:35Brother! Don't let this filthy beggar fool you!
00:32:38These clothes he's wearing are all stolen from the Imperial Palace!
00:32:41All these people were bribed by him with a huge sum of money!
00:32:44That's right! You're new to this office!
00:32:46It's normal to get the wrong person, but he really is a filthy beggar!
00:32:49He can't possibly be the Emperor!
00:32:51That's true! The Emperor couldn't possibly be here!
00:32:54Wretched girl! Look at the fine husband you've chosen!
00:32:57You've offended Lord Montague! I'll see how you plan to end this!
00:33:01My Lord! You must uphold justice for us!
00:33:04This filthy beggar and Evelyn Sterling! They defied human ethics! Even intended to murder us!
00:33:10Outrageous! At the foot of the Imperial City! How can you act so brazenly?
00:33:15Guards! Take them to the dungeon of the Judicial Court! Interrogate them with torture!
00:33:19Wait!
00:33:21What else do you have to say?
00:33:22Since when was this position of Lord Justice Deputy?
00:33:25Yours to assume!
00:33:27You filthy beggar! How could you possibly know about court appointments?
00:33:31My brother was appointed by the Empress Dowager herself! What now? Regret finally sinking in?
00:33:35Even the Empress Dowager was deceived!
00:33:38Your Montague family truly is impressive!
00:33:41Empress Dowager, please speak up for your subject! His Majesty outside the palace married the eldest daughter of the Sterling family!
00:33:50What?
00:33:51Because that woman, His Majesty even lashed out!
00:33:52You said His Majesty married another woman outside the palace?
00:33:56Guards! The brothers are done!
00:33:58How dare you offend the Emperor Dowager? Are you trying to get yourself killed?
00:34:04Lord Montague!
00:34:06Please see clearly! Our Sterling family has long severed ties with Evelyn Sterling!
00:34:11Every word she says has nothing to do with us!
00:34:13That's right, my lord! Our Sterling family has always followed the rules!
00:34:17We would never dare speak against the royal family! Please see the truth, my lord!
00:34:21The President and the Royalty is the capital of crime! You must not let them go, my lord!
00:34:24Evelyn Sterling, your dear husband has now committed a heinous crime!
00:34:26No matter who comes today, they cannot save you!
00:34:31I can't... I can't let Lucas break up your arms! Spare us, my lord! He didn't mean to offend...
00:34:37Evelyn!
00:34:43Evelyn, let's go!
00:34:45How dare you! Trying to run? Guards, stop them!
00:34:48Whoever dares to block us again, kill without mercy!
00:34:51Yes, sir!
00:34:52Trying to escape? It's not that easy!
00:34:59Uh...
00:35:02Lucas!
00:35:04Lucas!
00:35:06Lucas! Lucas!
00:35:07Josephine Sterling!
00:35:08Why is your heart so vicious?
00:35:09Lucas has no grievance with you, yet you harms him so cruelly!
00:35:10This filthy beggar actually tried to have some disfigure me?!
00:35:11Of course I couldn't let you leave!
00:35:13Lucas!
00:35:14Stop looking! Your man won't be here to save you this time!
00:35:16You've got a death wish!
00:35:17Lucas!
00:35:18Lucas!
00:35:19Well, you still can't... hurry and go!
00:35:21I can't!
00:35:22Go?
00:35:23You still think he can go?!
00:35:24Josephine Sterling!
00:35:25Josephine Sterling!
00:35:26Josephine Sterling!
00:35:27Why won't you just let me go?!
00:35:28Ha ha!
00:35:29I have to admit!
00:35:30Sister, you're truly fortunate!
00:35:31Even marrying a beggar, you still found true love!
00:35:32What a pity!
00:35:33The more you're like this, the more impossible it is for me to let you have your way!
00:35:35You...
00:35:36I won't be here to save you this time!
00:35:37I won't be here to save you this time!
00:35:38You've got a death wish!
00:35:39Lucas!
00:35:40Well, you still can't... hurry and go!
00:35:41I can't!
00:35:42Go?
00:35:43You still think he can go?!
00:35:44Ha ha!
00:35:45I have to admit!
00:35:47Sister, you're truly fortunate!
00:35:49Even marrying a beggar, you still found true love!
00:35:52What a pity!
00:35:53The more you're like this, the more impossible it is for me to let you have your way!
00:35:57You...
00:35:58Josephine!
00:35:59The grudge between us should not involve others!
00:36:02You can do whatever you want to me!
00:36:04I beg you!
00:36:05Let Lucas go, please!
00:36:07Aveline!
00:36:08You don't need to waste your breath on her!
00:36:10I can't drag you into this!
00:36:11How touching!
00:36:13Even at a time like this!
00:36:15You still have time to flirt with this filthy beggar?
00:36:19Since you're feeling wrong so deep!
00:36:21I might as well send you both...
00:36:23To death together!
00:36:25What are you waiting for?!
00:36:27Die!
00:36:28I will watch out!
00:36:30Ah!
00:36:31The Empress Dowager has arrived!
00:36:34I'd like to see who dares harm my royal son!
00:36:37He really is the Emperor?!
00:36:43Aveline!
00:36:44Aveline!
00:36:45Aveline!
00:36:46Aveline!
00:36:47Aveline!
00:36:48Imperial Physician!
00:36:49Call the Imperial Physician quickly!
00:36:50Your Majesty!
00:36:51I've ordered her to immediately send her back for treatment!
00:36:55If anything happens to her I'll make sure you pay!
00:36:57Your servitor base!
00:36:58Come, come, come!
00:36:59Hurry!
00:37:00Hurry!
00:37:01Your Majesty!
00:37:02All members of the Starling family have been arrested!
00:37:06Your Majesty?
00:37:07Your...
00:37:08Your Majesty?
00:37:09Your Majesty?
00:37:10What?
00:37:11You called him?
00:37:12Your Majesty!
00:37:13Wasn't he a beggar?!
00:37:14He a beggar?!
00:37:15Pass down my decree!
00:37:16Sebastian Serding and his family are executed on the spot!
00:37:19Bastard!
00:37:21Madam!
00:37:22Madam!
00:37:23Madam!
00:37:24Admin Montague, as an official of the court, you abused your power and aided evil from this
00:37:29day forth!
00:37:30You are stripped of your duty, imprisoned along the Montague in the Judicial Court!
00:37:34Spare me, Your Majesty!
00:37:35Spare me!
00:37:36Spare me, Your Majesty!
00:37:37Thank Your Majesty to revoke the order!
00:37:40It was my fault!
00:37:43I failed to see the truth!
00:37:45Your Majesty!
00:37:46When you humiliated Evelyn back then, did you ever think this day would come?!
00:37:51Impossible!
00:37:53Given a second chance to life, how can I still make the wrong choice?
00:37:57Empress Dowager, I did commit a grave offence, but it was all under the orders of the Strangley
00:38:01family!
00:38:02Empress Dowager, please, for the sake of my father's honor, spare me once!
00:38:05I beg Your Majesty and Empress Dowager for mercy!
00:38:08Please have mercy, Empress Dowager!
00:38:09Have mercy!
00:38:10Empress Dowager!
00:38:11Have mercy, Empress Dowager!
00:38:12My son, although the two unfilial sons of the Montague family are foolish, they were
00:38:17not the masterminds.
00:38:18They should be punished later.
00:38:19The Sterling family is a household of commoners.
00:38:22To execute them all is indeed lacking consideration for the women.
00:38:26I saw that woman was badly injured, my son.
00:38:29You should go tend to her quickly.
00:38:35Huh!
00:38:36Lucas, are you alright?
00:38:37Are you alright?
00:38:38Did you get hurt?
00:38:39I'm fine.
00:38:40Lie down quickly.
00:38:41The Imperial's physician said you have to lie down.
00:38:42Come on!
00:38:43Imperial physician?
00:38:44What is going on?
00:38:45Why are we in the palace?
00:38:46Why are we in the palace?
00:38:47What exactly happened?
00:38:48It was the Empress Dowager who saved us.
00:38:49The Empress Dowager?
00:38:50The Empress Dowager?
00:38:51You want to make Evelyn Sterling your Empress?
00:38:52I absolutely do not approve.
00:38:53I pledge myself to Evelyn for life in private.
00:38:54I pledge myself to Evelyn for life in private.
00:38:55I pledge myself to Evelyn for life in private.
00:38:56I am right.
00:38:57You are right.
00:38:58You are right?
00:38:59Did you get hurt?
00:39:00I am fine.
00:39:01I am fine.
00:39:02Lie down quickly.
00:39:03The Imperial's physician said you have to lie down.
00:39:04Come on!
00:39:05Imperial physician?
00:39:06What is going on?
00:39:07Why are we in the palace?
00:39:08What exactly happened?
00:39:09It was the Empress Dowager who saved us.
00:39:10The Empress Dowager?
00:39:11The 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.
00:39:21Whether you approve or not, I will overcome all obstacles to make Evelyn my Empress.
00:39:25You!
00:39:28If you truly wish to make her Empress, she must pass my test.
00:39:33But...
00:39:36But, before that, you must not let her know your identity.
00:39:41Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to stop you.
00:39:46She left the palace to pray.
00:39:49Just happened to walk by the Sterling State.
00:39:51That's how she saved us.
00:39:55Then...
00:39:57What about my father and the others?
00:39:59The Empress Dowager gave the order to have them all beaten 50 strikes each.
00:40:02Adrian Montague frequented pleasure districts.
00:40:04His body couldn't take it and he fainted.
00:40:06The Empress Dowager ordered him to be put in confinement.
00:40:09And your sister was also sent to the Office of Discipline to do hard labor.
00:40:12And for your father and the others, they were exiled.
00:40:15Exiled?
00:40:19Evelyn.
00:40:20From 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.
00:40:35When the time comes, we may work in the palace for three to five years.
00:40:39Then we can leave together.
00:40:41And live a simple life.
00:40:42Okay.
00:40:43Evelyn.
00:40:45I hope you can forgive me.
00:40:48Evelyn.
00:40:49Evelyn.
00:40:50I hope...
00:40:51Evelyn.
00:40:52I hope...
00:40:53You can forgive me.
00:40:55Evelyn.
00:40:56Evelyn.
00:40:57When I have some free time, I'll come to see you.
00:40:58Evelyn.
00:40:59When I have some free time, I'll come to see you.
00:41:00Evelyn.
00:41:01Alright.
00:41:03Ah.
00:41:04Greetings.
00:41:05Ahm...
00:41:06Ahem...
00:41:08Ahem...
00:41:09Guests should notify us before touring the Imperial Household Bureau.
00:41:17This one here is the steward of the Bureau, Ma'am Langston. If you need anything, just go to her.
00:41:24Greetings, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:27This one here is a newly arrived maid, Evelyn Sterling. In the days to come, please take good care of her, Ma'am Langston.
00:41:35Rest assured, I will take good care of Miss Evelyn. I definitely won't let her do heavy work.
00:41:42Lucas, I came here to work, right? Why does it feel like I'm being treated like a mistress?
00:41:57She... maybe she's a nice person.
00:42:07Miss Evelyn, please come with me.
00:42:12Go ahead.
00:42:26You! Clean all of these thoroughly.
00:42:29You and I both work at the Imperial Household Bureau. The tasks are assigned in advance. Why should I be the one to do your work?
00:42:35You've got the nerves to ask? It's because of you that I ended up cleaning the toilet vault.
00:42:39Some people must have used certain means to land a post here, and somehow even earn Ma'am Langston's favor. She got all the Yeezy's work assigned to you.
00:42:46Hey!
00:42:50Give it back to me!
00:43:03The Dragon Jade Pendant? There's something only His Majesty can wear! Hurry and inform Madam Langston! Someone is stealing!
00:43:12Oh Majesty! Give it back to me! Right now!
00:43:15What are you waiting for? Grab her!
00:43:31Everyone, stop right there!
00:43:34Your Grace. The Imperial Household Bureau is such a crude place. You have never come here before. It might harm your noble health. Allow me to announce your arrival.
00:43:49No need. This time, I am disguised as a bureau matron. Because I want to truly know Evelyn Sterling. She must never learn of my identity.
00:43:59No need.
00:44:07Palace rules are strict. I was only gone for a little while. And you dare behave so wildly. What do you take the Imperial Household Bureau for?
00:44:15Ma'am! She stole His Majesty's Jade Pendant. The one thing most forbidden in the harm is Eve. She feared being exposed and even tried to harm me. Ma'am, you must punish her properly.
00:44:28Ma'am, Langston. Please let me explain. This isn't what happened.
00:44:32Enough! Hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:44:38The Pendant... belongs to me.
00:44:43I said, hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:44:58The Dragon Jade Pendant. It truly belongs to His Majesty.
00:45:03The Dragon Jade Pendant. It truly belongs to His Majesty.
00:45:07The Emperor even gave her something this important?
00:45:10She even dares to steal His Majesty's Pendant. In the future, who knows what outrageous things she might do.
00:45:16Palace rules are very clear. Anyone caught stealing goods worth more than one dollar will have their left foot cut off and be branded.
00:45:23Ma'am, please listen to my explanation. This pendant was given to me by someone very dear to me. It was definitely not stolen. I truly don't know how it could belong to His Majesty.
00:45:33We confirm the Pendant belongs to my son. Wouldn't that expose us to your identity?
00:45:38No. We can't rely on the object to prove there was theft involved. I'll thoroughly investigate this matter until the truth is found. The Pendant will remain with me.
00:45:47If you are truly innocent, I will make things right for you.
00:45:52Thank you, Ma'am.
00:45:53This is the new steward, Madam Williams. From now on, she will work with me to manage the Bureau.
00:45:59All of you, behave yourselves. Anyone who tries to be sneaky or lazy will be punished according to Palace rules.
00:46:05Yes, Ma'am.
00:46:06Your bullying of your colleague has not been settled yet. You are to clean toilet bowl as punishment. You may eat only when you finish.
00:46:20Yes, Ma'am.
00:46:36Oh, isn't this much better?
00:46:50Your Majesty, Miss Caldwell has come to the palace again today. Do you wish to see her?
00:46:54No. Tell her to go back where she came from.
00:46:57This...
00:46:58You. Go back. I'm going to see Evelyn. If you follow me, you'll expose my identity.
00:47:04Out of the way.
00:47:07Evelyn.
00:47:09Evelyn.
00:47:14Lucas.
00:47:16Why are you here?
00:47:19How can Madam Langston let you do this kind of work? I'll go speak with her.
00:47:24I'll go speak with her.
00:47:26Lucas.
00:47:28It's just cleaning the toilet bowl is not a big deal.
00:47:32Evelyn.
00:47:33I...
00:47:34I'm sorry you had to endure this. I promise I'll find a way to get you out of here as soon as possible.
00:47:50By the way, the jade pendant of yours, what's the story behind it? Why is it that they keep saying that the pendant belongs to His Majesty?
00:47:58Uh, my father... My father once won first place in the Imperial exam. To encourage outstanding scholars, His Majesty rewarded him with the jade pendant. This is how it came into our hands.
00:48:07Oh, I see. All they say is His Majesty, His Majesty. I thought maybe you were lying to me.
00:48:16Who's there?
00:48:18Who's there?
00:48:22It's Madam Willems. Hurry up, go. Go let her see you.
00:48:25Tomorrow. I'll come to see you tomorrow again.
00:48:26I'll see you tomorrow again.
00:48:34Madam's. All the toilet bowls have been cleaned.
00:48:38Cleaned already? Then go sweep the entire back courtyard.
00:48:42Yes, ma'am. Finally done with everything.
00:49:01Why are you throwing my things?
00:49:03Madam Williams gave orders herself. She said at first light tomorrow, you are to deliver her medicine.
00:49:07Ma'am said the medicine must be boiled with morning dew. Tonight, you should wait outside.
00:49:13Morning dew.
00:49:15Morning dew.
00:49:17Everyone heard it. I'm not making it up.
00:49:20Why is Madam Williams always picking on me?
00:49:23Madam Williams already showed me mercy by not punishing for the theft last time.
00:49:27All she asked was for you to collect the morning dew. You should be grateful.
00:49:29The pendant wasn't stolen at all. Stop falsely accusing me.
00:49:32Not stolen? Are you saying His Majesty gave it to you himself?
00:49:34The night air is damped with dew. I'm going inside to get my own blanket. Is that not allowed?
00:49:48Huh. What arrogance. This is the Imperial Palace. There's no such thing as yours or mine.
00:49:53Don't think that's just because Malin lost so you can do whatever you want.
00:49:58Who said you could come in?
00:49:59Move aside.
00:50:00Avalyn!
00:50:07Avalyn!
00:50:11Avalyn.
00:50:12Are you alright?
00:50:14Who did this?
00:50:16Victor Langley, why is he here?
00:50:18Could it be that he is-
00:50:20You want to die!
00:50:22Your Majesty!
00:50:23Your Majesty!
00:50:29You're the Emperor.
00:50:32You're his Majesty.
00:50:34Insolent Servant!
00:50:39You must never let her discover your true identity.
00:50:42My deepest apologies, Your Majesty. I merely saw someone injured and acted out of concern.
00:50:58Fortunately, it wasn't His Majesty.
00:51:01But, hasn't Master Langley been by His Majesty's side?
00:51:05Master Langley, what is going on here?
00:51:08Oh, this young guy in here, he makes a striking resemblance to His Majesty.
00:51:13I specifically brought him to the palace to interrogate him.
00:51:16Uh-uh.
00:51:18Hey, you, the new one, how can you be so ignorant of the rules?
00:51:21Don't you notice you behave yourself here?
00:51:23I humbly apologize. I acknowledge my error.
00:51:26Madam Langston, I beg your pardon. It's entirely my fault for causing this young officer concern.
00:51:31If you understand your error, then leave at once.
00:51:38As for you...
00:51:45Fraternizing with the guards is a grave matter.
00:51:49Yet, Madam Williams nearly punished her with kneeling.
00:51:52The last time she stole a jade pendant, that incident was also swept under the rug.
00:51:57Tell me, if His Majesty knew she had stolen his jade pendant, how do you think he would handle her?
00:52:02I shall inform His Majesty at once. It was you who stole his jade pendant. Let us see if he will still let you off so easily.
00:52:19Ah!
00:52:22Ah, my face! My face! Ah, my face!
00:52:26Ah, my face!
00:52:28You foolish serpent! What have you put in this bowl?
00:52:31I-I obtained the recipe from a tallist who claimed they could enhance one's beauty when consumed.
00:52:40I only wished to do what was best for Madam Williams, which is why I acted so foolishly.
00:52:44How dare you serve something of unknown origin to ma'am if this rash on her face does not fade?
00:52:49How will you atone for this?
00:52:52Madam!
00:52:53Guards! Drag her away! And sell her to a slave trader!
00:52:56Oh, Madam Williams! Have mercy! Madam! Have mercy! Please! Madam!
00:53:00Madam!
00:53:01Madam!
00:53:02Madam, have mercy! Madam!
00:53:05Madam!
00:53:08May I be permitted to try?
00:53:10You?
00:53:13You?
00:53:14I've studied medical texts, and I can prepare herbal remedy that might alleviate the rash on your face.
00:53:23If...
00:53:26If my methods prove effective, I beg you, Madam, to spare Isabella's life.
00:53:32If...
00:53:42His Majesty has not paid me attention for a long time, yet I hear he has recently been visiting Imperial Household Bureau.
00:53:49Tell me who could be in the Imperial Household Bureau to capture His Majesty's interest so deeply.
00:53:54I don't know! I know nothing!
00:53:57Speak!
00:53:58I... I remember now! There is indeed someone who dares to do such a thing!
00:54:05Huh?
00:54:17It may not look appealing, but it is true that the rash has faded somewhat.
00:54:21It 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.
00:54:33The rash will be reappeared.
00:54:47Ugh...
00:54:52What are you trying to do now?
00:54:54Thank you!
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 still?
00:55:23So you're willing to forgive me?
00:55:26You're not entirely a bad person.
00:55:30It's just that your words can be utterly vicious.
00:55:41Let's go.
00:55:46Her Majesty, I believe that His Majesty's insistence on making Lady Evelyn the Empress
00:55:52does 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 you who seduced His Majesty.
00:56:14With us stuck the face of yours.
00:56:19No wonder you can't stay out of trouble.
00:56:21His Majesty's finding a bride outside the palace is not there.
00:56:24But when did your lowly servants dare to entertain such wicked thoughts?
00:56:29When did Evelyn ever seduce His Majesty?
00:56:30Isabella, 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 taking fights deliberately.
00:56:39Isabella!
00:56:41Do you even know who I am?
00:56:43How dare you act so insolently in my presence?
00:56:45Caesar.
00:56:50Wait!
00:56:51The person standing before you is Lady Caldwell, daughter of Chancellor Caldwell.
00:56:55She's the one the Empress Dodge Rager has chosen to be Empress.
00:56:59What a fool!
00:56:59Since Lady Caldwell is the esteemed daughter of the Chancellor, surely you are a reasonable
00:57:03person.
00:57:04We have never even met His Majesty.
00:57:05So how could there be any talk of seduction?
00:57:07I beg you, Lady Caldwell, spare me.
00:57:09I heard from Eleanor that you not only seduced His Majesty, but also entangled yourself
00:57:14with the guards.
00:57:15That face of yours is too dangerous to keep him.
00:57:23Stop!
00:57:34Stop!
00:57:39The 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 harm will be mine sooner or later.
00:58:00Dealing the lowly maid is nothing to me.
00:58:03Preposterous!
00:58:04Do you even know who stands before you?
00:58:06Aren't you just a lowborn servant?
00:58:11If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never learn your place.
00:58:14Restrainer as well.
00:58:16Eleanor, you wouldn't dare.
00:58:22I never expected you to be so venomous at heart.
00:58:26Her Majesty truly misjudged you.
00:58:29You dare call yourself Her Majesty?
00:58:31Who are you taking yourself for?
00:58:32The Empress Dowager?
00:58:32The Empress Dowager?
00:58:36A disfigured old wretch like you dare to use the title of the Empress Dowager?
00:58:42It seems you've grown tired of living.
00:58:44It seems you still refuse to admit your wrongdoing.
00:58:46What wrong have I done?
00:58:48You born into lowly status can only be servants in the palace.
00:58:51To defy your superiors is to seek death.
00:58:54You, Lady Catwell, the inner court is under the jurisdiction of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.
00:58:59To deal with the palace servants privately is likely against the rules.
00:59:02I beg you to show mercy.
00:59:03As the head of the Imperial House of Europe, you have allowed your mage to choose His Majesty.
00:59:08Such behavior is a dangerous example.
00:59:10This is unforgivable.
00:59:11Fetch my wisdom.
00:59:12The Supreme 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?
00:59:37This humble maid greets Your Majesty.
00:59:39I 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?
00:59:50This humble maid 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 Cabin.
01:00:13And I got wish for him to suffer punishment on my account.
01:00:17Since you're so eager to play the hero, I shall grant your wish today.
01:00:21Enough!
01:00:22Anna Caldwell, Her Majesty advises you not to go too far, otherwise...
01:00:26You called yourself Her Majesty again?
01:00:28You reckless wretch.
01:00:29Today, I shall teach you the rules on behalf of the Empress Dowager.
01:00:32Anna Caldwell!
01:00:35Do you know who you are about to whip?
01:00:38Your Majesty...
01:00:39I greet the Empress Dowager.
01:00:44I greet Her Majesty.
01:00:46The Empress Dowager?
01:00:48How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:50How could she possibly be the Empress Dowager?
01:00:58How is this possible?
01:01:00Her Majesty was merely testing you.
01:01:03But she never expected you to be so insolent.
01:01:05How dare you overstep and offend Her Majesty herself?
01:01:09Your Majesty, this humble subject admits her fault.
01:01:13I've failed to recognize that you are the Empress Dowager.
01:01:15I beg your Majesty for forgiveness.
01:01:17I beg the Emperor for mercy.
01:01:19The Emperor...
01:01:23This humble official believes this matters are of great importance.
01:01:27It concerns the dignity of the Empress Dowager.
01:01:29I implore Your Majesty to carefully consider the matter.
01:01:37Exactly.
01:01:39How could you dare to offend the Empress Dowager?
01:01:42Admit your fault at once!
01:01:43But this humble subject admits my fault.
01:01:46Your Majesty, it was this wretched maid.
01:01:48She told me to seduce His Majesty.
01:01:52And this is why I lost my composure.
01:01:54Lady Calvel, it was clear to you, Simon!
01:01:56If it weren't for your manipulation,
01:01:57how could I have spoken so recklessly before the Empress Dowager?
01:02:00The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble.
01:02:04Take her away and sell her at once!
01:02:06The palace maid Eleanor Fairfox has spread rumors and caused trouble.
01:02:10Take her away and sell her at once!
01:02:11Your Majesty, have mercy!
01:02:13I did not spread rumors!
01:02:14I saw Evelyn flirting with the guards!
01:02:16I truly did not spread rumors!
01:02:18Your Majesty!
01:02:19I beg your Majesty!
01:02:20You are the eldest daughter of the Sturdy Camper!
01:02:22How dare you!
01:02:22Anna Caldwell, I always believed you to be a kind-hearted,
01:02:26yet I never expected you to be ruthless.
01:02:28You've overstepped your place and still dare to dream of becoming Empress.
01:02:31You are sentenced to one year in the Office of Discipline to reflect on your actions.
01:02:34This Office of Discipline...
01:02:35No, Your Majesty!
01:02:36This office officer can miss her fault!
01:02:38Your Majesty, please spare me!
01:02:40I do not want to get to the Office of Discipline!
01:02:43I have questions for you.
01:02:45Where is Her Majesty taking them?
01:03:03Evelyn!
01:03:05Lucas!
01:03:06Did the Empress down to punish you?
01:03:08Of course not!
01:03:08Her Majesty wished to discuss the Spring Blossom Banquet with me!
01:03:11That's a relief.
01:03:14Evelyn!
01:03:17Evelyn has passed the test!
01:03:18Wonderful!
01:03:19I will reveal my identity to her and make her my Empress!
01:03:22There is no need to rush the coronation.
01:03:25The Ministry of Rights is preparing for the Spring Blossom Banquet next month.
01:03:29They may not have enough resources to manage both.
01:03:32Moreover, this matter is too sudden.
01:03:35I'm concerned the other Ministers may object.
01:03:38Mother!
01:03:38Mother!
01:03:39Why not let Evelyn organize the Spring Blossom Banquet?
01:03:41If she can manage this banquet, it will not only prove her capability,
01:03:44but also make her coronation more acceptable to everyone.
01:03:48Her Majesty wants you to take charge of the Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:03:51Me?
01:03:53I don't know how to organize it.
01:03:58Don't worry.
01:03:59Trust your abilities.
01:04:00You shall triumph.
01:04:01I'll also assist you behind the scenes.
01:04:02I'll also assist you behind the scenes.
01:04:07All right.
01:04:08Get moving, all of you.
01:04:17If anyone dares to slack off, my whip shows no mercy.
01:04:26Useless fool!
01:04:26Do you still think you're a pampered young lady?
01:04:29Huh?
01:04:30Once you're in the office of discipline, no one gets to laze around.
01:04:38Evelyn Sterling, this is all your fault!
01:04:43Get it!
01:04:44Don't touch me!
01:04:45I'm the daughter of Chancellor Caldwell!
01:04:47Yeah.
01:04:48But I better show some respect!
01:04:54The daughter of Chancellor Caldwell?
01:04:57In my past life, Adrian Montag was promoted by the Empress Elwiger during the Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:05:01If I can escape this wretched place, and find a way to bring Adrian to the Spring Blossom Banquet, I can surely turn things around.
01:05:14What a wretched place!
01:05:16They expect me, a lady, to wash my clothes myself?
01:05:21Where did this lowly maid come from?
01:05:23I...
01:05:24Lady, I have an urgent request.
01:05:29When?
01:05:29Why should I help you?
01:05:31I am of noble birth.
01:05:33Were it not for this temporary misfortune, you wouldn't even be worthy to speak to me.
01:05:40My elder sister, Evelyn Sterling, is the reason I was in prison here.
01:05:44If you help escape, I shall be forever indebted to you.
01:05:50Evelyn Sterling?
01:05:54Not bad.
01:05:57The banquet itinerary is clear and well-structured.
01:06:00It is evident that much effort was put into it.
01:06:02And trusting you at the banquet's organization was indeed a wide choice.
01:06:06Many thanks for your majesty's praise.
01:06:08Your majesty!
01:06:09Terrible news!
01:06:10The Office of Discipline is on fire!
01:06:11What?
01:06:19Sir!
01:06:20What is the situation inside?
01:06:22The fire has engulfed the entire rear courtyard.
01:06:23Nearly half the people couldn't make it out.
01:06:26Anna Caldwell.
01:06:33Your majesty!
01:06:39Your majesty!
01:06:40This humble subject has come to realize my mistakes.
01:06:43I beg you to spare me from this punishment.
01:06:46The Office of Discipline is a place I cannot enjoy even for a single day longer.
01:06:49As long as you're alive, at least this allows me to account for your well-being to your father.
01:06:54Enough!
01:06:55With your temperament, staying in the Office of Discipline would serve no purpose.
01:06:58Next month, you shall be the one to marry into Lior Empire.
01:07:01What?
01:07:02What?
01:07:03I'm married to Lior?
01:07:05What?
01:07:06Are you unwilling?
01:07:07Or would you prefer to continue staying in the Office of Discipline?
01:07:10Oh, no.
01:07:14This humble subject humbly obeys your majesty's decree.
01:07:18I shall depart for the marriage alliance next month.
01:07:23However, 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.
01:07:41I remember.
01:07:42Josephine is your sister.
01:07:45Tell me,
01:07:47how should I reward her?
01:07:52Empress Dowager,
01:07:53we were never close since childhood.
01:07:56Our bond is not strong.
01:07:57I don't get a say in this.
01:08:01Since you have agreed to the marriage alliance,
01:08:03then so be it.
01:08:04Let's go back.
01:08:07Thank you for your grace.
01:08:18Evelyn Sterling,
01:08:20I thought you had sword height already.
01:08:24Turns out,
01:08:25you're still that low.
01:08:27You've ruined our parents and montags.
01:08:29And also got me thrown into the Office of Discipline.
01:08:32About that.
01:08:34I will make sure you pay it.
01:08:46Edmund,
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 and Josephine,
01:08:59two fools,
01:09:00I wouldn't have offended his 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 pardoned me.
01:09:15I'm released from Office of Discipline.
01:09:17After everything you put us through,
01:09:20you still have the guts to come back?
01:09:22Edmund,
01:09:23it's all because Evelyn.
01:09:25Instead of blaming each other here,
01:09:27you should think how to get back at her.
01:09:30Get back at her?
01:09:32She's like royalty now.
01:09:34How'd you get back at her, huh?
01:09:36I saw her once at the Office of Discipline.
01:09:39She was wearing a lonely palace-based uniform.
01:09:43I don't think she's royal.
01:09:45A palace maid?
01:09:45Could it be that
01:09:48His Majesty married her on a whim?
01:09:50Totally.
01:09:51If His Majesty really liked her,
01:09:53why would she be wearing that uniform?
01:09:56Spring Blossom Banquet is coming.
01:09:58All the nobles
01:09:59will be present then.
01:10:01It's the perfect opportunity.
01:10:03Spring Blossom Banquet.
01:10:05We're invited too.
01:10:07So I can go then?
01:10:11What are you scheming this time?
01:10:12Don't worry.
01:10:17At the banquet,
01:10:18I'll impress everyone.
01:10:20As long as I win
01:10:21the Empress Dowager's favor,
01:10:22our family will rise again.
01:10:42It's gonna be all nobles
01:10:47and high officials.
01:10:48Check everything thoroughly.
01:10:50We cannot afford to any mistakes.
01:10:54Oh, stop worrying.
01:10:56We've confirmed every detail
01:10:57multiple times already.
01:10:59There won't be any problems.
01:11:00Let's hope so.
01:11:03Avalyn.
01:11:04If 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 a moment
01:12:22without a man.
01:12:23Just got tossed aside
01:12:25by His Majesty
01:12:26and now,
01:12:27you're ready
01:12:27with the guard.
01:12:38This is the Imperial Palace.
01:12:40Not your place,
01:12:41all right?
01:12:42Everything you do here
01:12:43is washed
01:12:43by His Majesty
01:12:44and the Empress Gouger.
01:12:45You were just released.
01:12:47Have you learned
01:12:47your lesson?
01:12:48My husband and I
01:12:50were invited here
01:12:51as honored guests
01:12:52for the banquet.
01:12:53You're nothing but a maid.
01:12:55If you serve us well,
01:12:57I may reward you.
01:12:59If not,
01:13:00you'll get kicked out.
01:13:02You were lucky
01:13:04to have got away last time.
01:13:06No one can protect you
01:13:08this time.
01:13:09What do you mean?
01:13:10I want to destroy you
01:13:14from head to toe.
01:13:17Greetings,
01:13:18Empress Dowager.
01:13:28Greetings,
01:13:29Empress Dowager.
01:13:30Evelyn,
01:13:32preparing the banquet
01:13:33must be exhausting.
01:13:35Once it is over,
01:13:36I will reward you properly.
01:13:38It's just my duty.
01:13:39Thanks for your grace.
01:13:41Your Highness,
01:13:43I have something to say.
01:13:44Speak.
01:13:46I wish to report
01:13:47Evelyn's improper relationship
01:13:49with the guard.
01:13:52Oh?
01:13:53I saw it with my own eyes.
01:13:55Evelyn and a guard
01:13:56were extremely intimate.
01:13:58When caught,
01:13:59they tried to cover it up.
01:14:00If they're this bold
01:14:01in broad daylight,
01:14:02who knows what they do
01:14:03in secret?
01:14:05Your Highness,
01:14:06I did have a contact
01:14:08with the guard.
01:14:09But before entering the palace,
01:14:11we already had
01:14:11developed feelings.
01:14:13In the palace,
01:14:13we only met occasionally.
01:14:15There was nothing improper.
01:14:17If you weren't guilty,
01:14:18why did you hurry away
01:14:20in that moment you saw us?
01:14:21This should be punishable
01:14:23by death.
01:14:25Your Highness,
01:14:27I insist on seeing him.
01:14:28If this matter
01:14:29deserves punishment,
01:14:31please spare the guard's life.
01:14:34Seems neither of you
01:14:35are innocent.
01:14:36Your Highness,
01:14:37please summon the guard
01:14:39and execute them.
01:14:40Yes, Your Highness.
01:14:41Punish them both
01:14:42to uphold palace discipline.
01:14:45You two want me
01:14:46to execute the guard?
01:14:51You two want me
01:14:52to execute the guard?
01:14:54In the palace,
01:14:57it is indeed forbidden
01:14:58for palace maids
01:14:59and guards to mingle.
01:15:01But Evelyn,
01:15:02for organizing the banquet,
01:15:04put in great effort.
01:15:05She's redeemed herself.
01:15:06I have decided
01:15:07to spare her
01:15:08from punishment.
01:15:09Bye!
01:15:09Evelyn,
01:15:10lead me to the banquet site.
01:15:12Yes.
01:15:13Farewell,
01:15:26Your Highness.
01:15:28She escaped again.
01:15:30Why is she
01:15:31always so lucky?
01:15:32First the Emperor
01:15:33protected her
01:15:34and now the Emperor's dowager.
01:15:35Even she was entrusted
01:15:36with the whole banquet?
01:15:38Since she's in charge
01:15:39of the banquet,
01:15:40we can just...
01:15:46Your Majesty,
01:15:50the banquet is that way.
01:15:51Where are you going?
01:15:52It's about to begin.
01:15:53You'll be late.
01:15:54I've thought it over.
01:15:55I should let her know
01:15:56the truth before the banquet.
01:15:58Go tell Evelyn
01:15:59to meet me
01:16:00where we were before.
01:16:04Eunuch Langley.
01:16:06Come here.
01:16:06What's going on?
01:16:16We've done a great job
01:16:17this time.
01:16:18They're talking about
01:16:19how good the banquet is.
01:16:20Even an Empress dowager
01:16:21looks pleased.
01:16:22That's great.
01:16:25Someone is waiting
01:16:25for you in that courtyard.
01:16:26Go.
01:16:28Who is it?
01:16:31Assassins,
01:16:32protect the Empress dowager!
01:16:33What's going on inside?
01:16:37An assassin disguised
01:16:38as a dancer.
01:16:39Lord Montague took
01:16:40the blow for Her Majesty
01:16:41and the assassin escaped.
01:16:42What?
01:16:44Take her away.
01:16:46What are you doing?
01:16:48There is an assassin.
01:16:49We are arresting Evelyn
01:16:50to the judicial court.
01:16:51What?
01:16:51Me?
01:16:59My lord,
01:17:00he's the suspect.
01:17:01Maid Evelyn Sterling.
01:17:03He's the Prime Minister.
01:17:04So,
01:17:05she's the one
01:17:06who harmed Dana.
01:17:07Chancellor Caldwell.
01:17:09She was in charge
01:17:10of the palace banquet.
01:17:11How dare you?
01:17:13How dare you
01:17:13plan assassination
01:17:14against the Empress dowager?
01:17:16Are you rebelling?
01:17:18I'm not.
01:17:19I personally verified
01:17:20the identity of everyone.
01:17:22I have no idea
01:17:23where the assassin came from.
01:17:24Of course you don't.
01:17:25Right before the banquet,
01:17:26you were secretly meeting
01:17:27with the guard.
01:17:28You were so affectionate
01:17:29that you just ignore
01:17:30everything around you.
01:17:31What?
01:17:33Is this true?
01:17:34Chancellor,
01:17:35I can testify.
01:17:36That very guard
01:17:37is still at the Ministry of Rights.
01:17:38Somewhat.
01:17:39Bring that guard here.
01:17:40I will get to the bottom of this.
01:17:45Why hasn't Evelyn come yet?
01:17:46Lucas?
01:18:00Sir,
01:18:03here's the guard.
01:18:04Are you alright?
01:18:05Lucas?
01:18:08Evelyn Sterling,
01:18:09how do you plead?
01:18:10Please investigate Sterling.
01:18:12Since you're as an assassin,
01:18:13it's my fault indeed.
01:18:14I only beg you
01:18:15not to implicate anyone else.
01:18:16The palace is heavily guarded.
01:18:18An outsider could never get in.
01:18:20Evelyn must have secretly
01:18:21colluded with the assassin,
01:18:23if not for my husband's
01:18:24great reaction.
01:18:25You should have been executed
01:18:27by now.
01:18:28Chancellor Catmull,
01:18:29I really don't know
01:18:30about the assassin.
01:18:31I beg you
01:18:32to grant me some time.
01:18:33I will cover the truth
01:18:34behind this matter.
01:18:35Enough.
01:18:36Made Evelyn Sterling
01:18:38colluded with the guard,
01:18:39disrupted palace order,
01:18:40and put the Empress Dowager
01:18:41are in danger.
01:18:42Both of them
01:18:43are to be executed immediately.
01:18:52No.
01:18:53Chesler,
01:18:54we broke over water.
01:18:55Chesler,
01:18:55I'm begging.
01:18:57Chesler!
01:18:58Chesler,
01:18:58don't!
01:18:59Chesler,
01:19:00please.
01:19:01Chesler!
01:19:03Lucas,
01:19:04I'm sorry.
01:19:05It's not my fault.
01:19:06I'm so sorry.
01:19:07Stop now.
01:19:26Don't you dare touch her.
01:19:29Your Majesty.
01:19:32Long live your Majesty.
01:19:33Long live your Majesty.
01:19:41How dare you
01:19:43condemning the innocent
01:19:44without discerning
01:19:46right from wrong.
01:19:47This is totally outrageous.
01:19:56You keep going against Evelyn
01:19:57every turn.
01:19:58Today,
01:19:58if I weren't here,
01:20:00you would have gotten
01:20:01your 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 assassins
01:20:09in to hurt
01:20:09the Empress Dowager.
01:20:11I thank you.
01:20:11Your Majesty
01:20:12issued an order at once
01:20:13to imprison her
01:20:14for further interrogation.
01:20:15Chesler,
01:20:15go was right.
01:20:16If it weren't for
01:20:17my husband's presence today,
01:20:18the Empress Dowager
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.
01:20:30If this happens again,
01:20:33who will protect the palace?
01:20:37Police.
01:20:38You must punish Evelyn.
01:20:40Adrian Montague,
01:20:41are you making decisions for me?
01:20:43The Empress Dowager
01:20:44has been traumatized today.
01:20:46If your Majesty
01:20:46doesn't punish Evelyn,
01:20:47what if others follow her example?
01:20:49The consequences
01:20:50will be unimaginable.
01:20:51I request your Majesty
01:20:52to punish Evelyn.
01:20:53Is that so?
01:21:03If I have evidence
01:21:04that Evelyn's innocent,
01:21:05what should you be punished for?
01:21:13Possible.
01:21:15Nicholas,
01:21:16I'm asking you!
01:21:19Their fine
01:21:20was wrong about her.
01:21:21I'm willing to receive
01:21:23the same punishment.
01:21:24Okay!
01:21:26Come on!
01:21:27Bring them to me!
01:21:31Your Majesty is wise!
01:21:33Following your orders,
01:21:34I've 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 truly forced into it.
01:21:44Your Majesty,
01:21:45spare me!
01:21:45Your Majesty,
01:21:46please spare me!
01:21:46It's over!
01:21:47It's all over!
01:21:49Guards,
01:21:49take Nicholas away!
01:21:50Your 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,
01:21:59please,
01:21:59don't do this to me!
01:22:01Your Majesty!
01:22:06Her 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.
01:22:14You're lying!
01:22:14Your Majesty,
01:22:15I was only jealous of my sister.
01:22:17The assassination
01:22:17was all Adrian's idea.
01:22:18and 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.
01:22:35Law Catherine,
01:22:36the judicial court,
01:22:37wait for further orders.
01:22:39Your Majesty!
01:22:40Your Majesty!
01:22:41Please give me a chance,
01:22:42Your Majesty!
01:22:43Your Majesty!
01:22:43Your Majesty!
01:22:44But instead,
01:22:44I hate you!
01:22:45If that were you,
01:22:47all of this would have been mine!
01:22:48Your love.
01:22:50It's all because of yourself,
01:22:51not me.
01:22:54You brought all of this upon yourself.
01:23:04Evelyn.
