00:00:00Your Majesty, you've gained weight again.
00:00:07Ever since I gave birth to Noah,
00:00:13the fat has been piling on like crazy.
00:00:16The rain ceremony is about to start.
00:00:18What should we do?
00:00:20Pull it tighter.
00:00:24Your Majesty, deep breath.
00:00:41It's almost time.
00:00:43Where is Sophie?
00:00:46I have arrived!
00:00:51I'm here!
00:00:56How did Her Majesty get this fat?
00:00:59I remember she was just a little blunt during the coronation.
00:01:02No wonder Her Majesty has been avoiding her since he gave birth.
00:01:06She looks hideous.
00:01:08I'm here!
00:01:09How would you be so late?
00:01:12Forgive me, Your Majesty.
00:01:14I was late because the dress was too snug.
00:01:18Get up here now.
00:01:20Yes.
00:01:23Noah, come with me.
00:01:25No!
00:01:26Huh?
00:01:27You're so ugly!
00:01:29Lady Cox, can you go with me?
00:01:32That isn't proper.
00:01:34Only Her Majesty is allowed on the altar.
00:01:37Come on, Noah!
00:01:38I'm not going with you!
00:01:40Why is His Highness acting like this?
00:01:43Can't put all the blame on him.
00:01:45I wouldn't want to be seen with a mother that hideous either.
00:01:49You're right.
00:01:52The ceremony starts now!
00:01:58Oh no!
00:01:59I let it out too soon!
00:02:00Oh no!
00:02:01I let it out too soon!
00:02:02Oh no!
00:02:03I let it out too soon!
00:02:04Oh no!
00:02:05I let it out too soon!
00:02:06Oh no!
00:02:07I let it out too soon!
00:02:08What?
00:02:09What?
00:02:10What?
00:02:11What?
00:02:12What?
00:02:13What?
00:02:14What?
00:02:15What?
00:02:16This is downright disgraceful!
00:02:17What the hell?
00:02:18What the hell?
00:02:19Liam, if Sophie does the ceremony looking like that, she will anger the Gods.
00:02:22Tara, step in for Sophie.
00:02:24Hmph!
00:02:25Hmph!
00:02:26Hmmph!
00:02:27Hmmph!
00:02:28Hmmph!
00:02:29Liam, if Sophie does the ceremony looking like that, she will anger the Gods.
00:02:36Tara, step in for Sophie.
00:02:59What is wrong with you?
00:03:06Your Majesty! It's not my fault! She pushed me!
00:03:11Sophie, I know you're upset that I took your place.
00:03:15But you shouldn't hurt yourself, just to frame me.
00:03:20Her Majesty has gone too far skimming during such an important event.
00:03:24She's all bark but no charm.
00:03:27No, Your Majesty! That's not what happened!
00:03:32Someone, take her away!
00:03:34Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:03:42Resume the ceremony.
00:03:57Tara! What are you up to?
00:04:07Isn't it obvious? I want to kill you.
00:04:10Murdering me is a capital offense!
00:04:14Anna!
00:04:15Anna!
00:04:16His Majesty's favor and all Mary's support.
00:04:20Who would dare prosecute me?
00:04:22As far as the world knows, you took your own life into shame after the ceremony.
00:04:29I can't believe I've been outranked by this eyesore for three years.
00:04:49What a joke.
00:04:51You'd take us to kuinine your grandmother.
00:04:53Becithub to go!
00:04:56You're not going to be it!
00:04:57To be honest, you'll be dead!
00:04:58You're not going to lie to me!
00:04:59The day to the day to the day...
00:05:00What are you giving up?
00:05:01What are you giving up?
00:05:06To be honest, I'm not going to lie to me!
00:05:07I'm not going to lie to you!
00:05:09What am I going to lie to you!
00:05:10Why am I going to lie to you?
00:05:13Am I dead? Did I die? Right after finally graduating from med school?
00:05:20Your majesty, are you okay? I was terrified when I heard you harmed yourself.
00:05:27Your majesty?
00:05:30I actually transmigrated?
00:05:35And into a 200 pounder beast empress?
00:05:42You're supposed to be dead?
00:05:53Strangler.
00:06:02Now that I've taken over your body, I'll avenge you.
00:06:12Sophie, Sophie, I was wrong. Sophie, please forgive me.
00:06:21Damn you bitch. Of course you want me dead. Too bad hell had no room for me. I'm back again.
00:06:32Oh my god, stay away.
00:06:35Your highness, fear not. She's not dead yet.
00:06:43You scared me.
00:06:44What are you trying to pull now?
00:06:51No.
00:06:53How dare you hit me?
00:06:55You brought this on yourself, you insolent bitch. On your knees now.
00:07:02You're just a fat rich, his majesty despised. Why should I kneel to you?
00:07:07I'm his majesty's rightful wife. Unless he disposes me, I'm still the empress. How dare you raise your voice at me?
00:07:13Still refusing to kneel? As per palace rules, slap her 20 times. Don't hold back.
00:07:20You lily wench. If you touch me, I'll tear you apart. Your majesty.
00:07:26Slap her.
00:07:28I mustn't bring shame to her majesty.
00:07:30I mustn't bring shame to her majesty.
00:07:37How dare you hit the highness? You-
00:07:41Are you trying to challenge me?
00:07:45That kind of insolence means death for your entire clan.
00:07:50Go on.
00:07:51Go on.
00:07:5510, 13, 17, 20.
00:08:03Sophie.
00:08:05I'll say to her that you die a horrible death.
00:08:09If you're begging for more slaps, just ask. I'll beat you up so badly your mother wouldn't know it's you.
00:08:15Sophie.
00:08:16What are you doing?
00:08:18Oh, what's the scumbag?
00:08:21You-
00:08:24Your majesty.
00:08:26They're finally here.
00:08:27I was almost killed by your majesty.
00:08:29Your majesty, you must stand up for me.
00:08:31I thought you killed yourself.
00:08:34Sophie faked that just to make you come running.
00:08:37I tried to dog her down.
00:08:39Same.
00:08:40We were busy and that.
00:08:43And as consorts, we shouldn't be scheming like this.
00:08:47But she got angry and beat me up.
00:08:57You bitch.
00:08:59Got that act down perfectly, huh?
00:09:00You witch.
00:09:02Stay away from Lady Cox.
00:09:04You witch. You're so ugly.
00:09:05You ingrate.
00:09:07What are you doing?
00:09:09I'm putting him in his place.
00:09:11Are you blind or what?
00:09:13You ingrate.
00:09:14I carried you for nine months.
00:09:16Fed you with my milk.
00:09:18And now you call me ugly?
00:09:20Have you no shame at all?
00:09:22I'm surprised Sophie actually made a good point.
00:09:24Shame she had to put it so crudely.
00:09:26Your majesty, you must stand up for me.
00:09:29If not, I would rather die.
00:09:33Oh really?
00:09:34I'll grant your wish.
00:09:37Are you insane?
00:09:42What a scumbag.
00:09:45How dare you hurt me!
00:09:47Yeah, I hurt you.
00:09:50So what?
00:09:51For her insolence.
00:09:55Confine Sophie to Quiet Hall at once.
00:10:08Give me that.
00:10:10His majesty forbids you from bringing any possessions.
00:10:15Bitch!
00:10:16Do you want another beating?
00:10:18Shut the door.
00:10:19Good thing you ran.
00:10:21Or I would have smashed your head in.
00:10:26What a thump.
00:10:34That bitch really played dirty.
00:10:39Your majesty, never mind that.
00:10:42Look at this.
00:10:43What a thump.
00:10:45Ewww.
00:10:47That's not all.
00:10:48I overheard Lady Cox telling Ben to bring us moldy bread.
00:10:52What?
00:10:53Moldy bread?
00:10:55Your majesty, what should we do?
00:10:57Fear not.
00:10:58You're not.
00:11:01Hehe.
00:11:07Help!
00:11:08There's an assassin.
00:11:10He's not an assassin.
00:11:11Hi.
00:11:12Here's the premium wool blanket you ordered.
00:11:13Thanks!
00:11:20Here.
00:11:21Let's take a look.
00:11:22What?
00:11:23Whoa.
00:11:24Your majesty.
00:11:25This is so soft and comfy.
00:11:37Now I've got everything I need.
00:11:39You thought I would suffer?
00:11:41Dream on.
00:11:42Your majesty, who was that guy who dropped off the item?
00:11:45Ah, he is a time traveling delivery man.
00:11:48Your majesty, even if we're living comfortably now, being trapped in this place forever isn't the way to live.
00:11:55Ah, don't worry. I come from a line of martyrs. The Grand Emperor won't let me rot in here. Once he returns from his journey, we will walk free.
00:12:03If the Grand Emperor sees you like this, will he accept you?
00:12:17Hmm. Yeah, I should lose weight.
00:12:21I'm giving myself one month to drop a hundred pounds.
00:12:25What?
00:12:28What a damn bread and moldy food.
00:12:30There will be food.
00:12:31Let's see how long that bitch lasts.
00:12:34She can't die yet.
00:12:36The Shaws are gone.
00:12:38And Suffolk has lost his majesty's favor.
00:12:41What do you still fear?
00:12:42The Shaws may be gone.
00:12:44But the Grand Emperor cherishes her.
00:12:46If she dies,
00:12:48he will get to the bottom of it.
00:12:51Good thing she didn't die that day.
00:12:54What should we do now?
00:12:56Hmm.
00:12:57The Grand Emperor will return next month.
00:13:03Make him loathe her.
00:13:05Once he does,
00:13:07we can crush her effortlessly.
00:13:09Welcome back, your majesty.
00:13:16Your majesty.
00:13:22Grandfather, you must be tired.
00:13:24I've arranged a banquet in your honor.
00:13:28Alright, alright.
00:13:30You may rise.
00:13:32Yes, your majesty.
00:13:33Your majesty.
00:13:38Why isn't Sof here?
00:13:41Sophie is still serving her punishment in Quiet Hall.
00:13:44What?
00:13:46You banished Sof to Quiet Hall?
00:13:48Have you forgotten your promise to General Shaw?
00:13:51How could you betray him like this?
00:13:52Your majesty.
00:13:53Your majesty.
00:13:54His majesty.
00:13:56Had no choice.
00:13:59Ever since she gave birth to Noah,
00:14:03Sophie has grown terribly lazy.
00:14:05She left all the palace affairs to Aunt Mary.
00:14:09At the rain ceremony,
00:14:12Sophie appeared improperly dressed.
00:14:14His majesty only sent her back
00:14:16to avoid upsetting the gods.
00:14:19Yet,
00:14:21Sophie,
00:14:23she attempted suicide
00:14:25and even injured his majesty
00:14:27when he went to visit her.
00:14:29Your majesty.
00:14:30That scratch on his majesty's face
00:14:32was her doing.
00:14:34Impossible!
00:14:36I watched Sophie grow up.
00:14:38I know her temperament well.
00:14:40There is no way
00:14:42she would act so recklessly.
00:14:43Your majesty.
00:14:44Everything I said is true.
00:14:46You weren't there
00:14:47when she lost
00:14:48her mind.
00:14:52How dear her majesty
00:14:53hurt his majesty.
00:14:54By law, this requires her to be stripped over title.
00:14:57To the point of the world.
00:14:59To the point of the world.
00:15:00To the point of the world.
00:15:02To the point of the world.
00:15:03To the point of the world.
00:15:05To the point of the world.
00:15:07No way.
00:15:10Sophie would never
00:15:12do something like that.
00:15:14Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:15:18Bring her.
00:15:20Here.
00:15:21I shall question her myself.
00:15:23Grandfather.
00:15:24The injury on my face says it all. Why bother summoning her?
00:15:28What is it? Are you afraid? I'll find out the truth.
00:15:32I have nothing to hide. I simply didn't wish for you to be troubled by the sight of her.
00:15:39She has fallen into such a sorry state.
00:15:43Oh really? Let me see.
00:15:48For myself, bring the Empress in.
00:15:54Your Majesty, you've really lost weight.
00:15:59I'm giving myself one month to drop a hundred pounds.
00:16:16Sophie!
00:16:18Your Majesty, do you want some?
00:16:21Nope!
00:16:22Postpartum weight gain is common, especially when recovery is poor and emotional stress leads to overeating.
00:16:29Losing weight isn't hard if done right.
00:16:32But Your Majesty, what's the use of losing weight if the Grand Emperor still hasn't returned?
00:16:37If you're still alive, report to Peace Hall. Her Majesty summons you.
00:16:42Your Majesty, you're free at last.
00:16:45Your Majesty, you're so beautiful today.
00:16:54You bitch and you scumbag.
00:16:57I am coming for you.
00:17:00Greetings, great-grandfather.
00:17:06Are you...
00:17:08Noah?
00:17:12When I left the palace five years ago, you were just a newborn.
00:17:19And now...
00:17:21Ka-choo!
00:17:22Ha-ha-ha!
00:17:23Come here!
00:17:24Let me take a good luck.
00:17:26Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:17:27Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:17:29You may speak ill of Sophie, but she has done remarkably well in raising Noah.
00:17:38Great-grandfather, Lady Cox raised me, not my mother.
00:17:44All Mother ever did was eat and sleep.
00:17:47She never looked after me.
00:17:49How could Sophie possibly have neglected you?
00:17:52Your Majesty, it's true.
00:17:54While you were away, Sophie turned into a different person.
00:17:57She became overweight and unbearably lazy.
00:18:00Once, when Noah had a high fever, it was Tara who saved him.
00:18:05If not for her, the boy might have died.
00:18:10Liam can bear witness.
00:18:15While Noah lay feverishly, for days, it was Tara who stayed with him.
00:18:22I summoned Sophie multiple times, but she never came.
00:18:27She ignored her sixth child.
00:18:29Her Majesty's gone overboard.
00:18:32Such laziness makes her unfit to be a mother, let alone the Empress of Varya.
00:18:38Your Majesty, please dispose her and appoint someone more worthy.
00:18:43Your Majesty, please dispose her.
00:18:47Oh, you want her disposed too?
00:18:52Sophie is indeed no longer fit to remain Empress.
00:18:59We will talk once she arrives.
00:19:02Damn you.
00:19:03For a ring with plants.
00:19:08Why isn't Sophie here?
00:19:11Is she not coming because she knows she is both disgraceful and unsightly?
00:19:16What are you talking about?
00:19:26Given how she looks.
00:19:27What are you talking about?
00:19:46Is that a fairy?
00:19:47Is that the Empress?
00:19:57Isn't the Empress supposed to be a 200 pound fatty?
00:20:03Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:20:05Please forgive me for being late.
00:20:08Her Majesty looks gorgeous.
00:20:10After slimming town.
00:20:11I'd say she could easily outstrain Lady Cox threefold.
00:20:15No, make that tenfold.
00:20:17Oh, please.
00:20:18Her arms are exposed.
00:20:20How indecent.
00:20:21You're just jealous that I'm prettier than you.
00:20:27You're not the Empress.
00:20:30Sophie is a fat woman.
00:20:31Who are you?
00:20:32How dare you impersonate her?
00:20:34What nonsense are you sprouting?
00:20:36You didn't even wear the dress I sent over.
00:20:40I still dare to deceive His Majesty.
00:20:43Unbelievable.
00:20:44Oh, she's not actually the Empress.
00:20:46It's one thing not to show up.
00:20:48But having someone to stand in for her?
00:20:51Sophie is hopeless.
00:20:54Her Majesty's deception is truly unacceptable.
00:20:57Your Majesty, please depose her.
00:21:00Your Majesty, please depose her.
00:21:03She looks familiar.
00:21:05Your Majesty, tell them.
00:21:13Am I your wife or not?
00:21:24What?
00:21:26You can't even recognize your wife now?
00:21:30Her looks may have changed, but she's indeed the Emperor.
00:21:35How did you...
00:21:37How did you...
00:21:39Five years later, and you've only grown more stunning, Soph?
00:21:44Your Majesty, you look even more vigorous than before.
00:21:48Is that Chewie the Empress?
00:21:50You're actually my mother?
00:21:52You ingrate.
00:21:54Now you remember I'm your mother?
00:21:56Why did His Majesty acknowledge her?
00:21:59All he has to do is say no, and she's finished.
00:22:02I could take her place.
00:22:03How did you...
00:22:05Slim down so quickly?
00:22:11After the event, I made an oath to slim down.
00:22:16In just a month, I shed...
00:22:20A hundred pounds!
00:22:21A hundred pounds!
00:22:23A hundred pounds!
00:22:25A hundred pounds!
00:22:27Her Majesty's resolve is outstanding!
00:22:31She truly lives up to her title.
00:22:34Exactly!
00:22:35Then, why didn't you wear the dress I sent? Aunt Mary chose it for you herself.
00:22:42Do you mean to disrespect her good will?
00:22:48Do you disapprove of the dress I chose for you?
00:22:53Wait, that torn dress was from you!
00:22:57Your Majesty, Lady Cox had someone deliver this dress.
00:23:05Oh, good thing I didn't wear it. One band and the seams would have split.
00:23:16Just like during the rain ceremony.
00:23:18Oh, so it was a split seam that caused Mother's dress to burst open back then?
00:23:29So, that's the hidden truth behind the rain ceremony incident.
00:23:33Insolence. You are my daughter-in-law. Why would I do such a thing?
00:23:38You sent the dress. Was it you?
00:23:44No, it wasn't me already turning on each other.
00:23:48It must have been the servant who sent the dress.
00:23:53Your highness, it was I who accidentally damaged Her Majesty's dress.
00:24:02Shhh. Tara, your servant is truly bold.
00:24:07How dare he touch what belongs to me?
00:24:10Touching something that belongs to me, the palace rules call for a hundred lashes.
00:24:16Sabotaging the rain ceremony is an even graver offense.
00:24:22Seize this insolent wretch and give him two hundred lashes at once.
00:24:29Your majesty, please spare me. I was not intentional. Your highness, please save me.
00:24:34He won't survive the punishment.
00:24:37Your majesty, Ben followed me into the palace.
00:24:42If he's killed over this, what happens to my reputation?
00:24:47Your majesty.
00:24:49Grandfather just returned. Let's not mar it with bloodshed.
00:24:54His majesty led three campaigns against Drake Dale.
00:24:59Surely a bit of bloodshed doesn't bother him.
00:25:04Am I right, your majesty?
00:25:06You truly understand me, Soph?
00:25:10Someone take this insolent wretch away at once.
00:25:14Your majesty, spare me. Have mercy. Your majesty, save me.
00:25:19Your majesty.
00:25:20Your majesty.
00:25:21This isn't just punishing my servant.
00:25:23It's an insult to you.
00:25:31Since Sophie's here, Grandfather, let's begin the feast.
00:25:35Alright, let it begin.
00:25:39Sit down, sit down.
00:25:44I provide a special gift to honor your majesty's return.
00:25:49Oh?
00:25:55This is the embroidered screen I stitched myself.
00:25:58I wish you good health and a long, blessed life.
00:26:03Double-sided embroidery.
00:26:06She truly lives up to her lineage.
00:26:09Her needlework is simply remarkable.
00:26:12That bitch can't take ten steps without complaining.
00:26:14You expect me to believe she embroidered something so fancy?
00:26:17Your majesty.
00:26:19Tara slept no more than four hours a day to prepare this gift.
00:26:23Her vision often blurred.
00:26:26And she pricked her fingers multiple times.
00:26:29As long as your majesty is pleased, I would gladly endure any pain.
00:26:38I appreciate it.
00:26:40Sophie, his majesty has always held you dearest.
00:26:47Now that he has returned from five years of travel, I wonder what gift you've prepared to welcome him home.
00:26:54After spending a month locked away.
00:26:57I doubt you've got anything worth presenting.
00:27:01Can't she cause trouble after we eat?
00:27:06Sophie, surely you have prepared a gift.
00:27:09News of the Grand Emperor's return was reported three months ago.
00:27:14Her majesty should be aware of it.
00:27:17Her majesty may be much prettier now that she has lost weight.
00:27:21But her manners are still lacking compared to Lady Cox's.
00:27:25You probably haven't prepared a gift.
00:27:30After your time in Quiet Hall, a few good wishes will suffice.
00:27:34Exactly.
00:27:35The Grand Emperor is so fond of you.
00:27:38He won't mind.
00:27:40Even if you come unprepared.
00:27:43Who said I came unprepared?
00:27:45You actually prepared a gift?
00:27:48What might it be?
00:27:50Don't tell me.
00:27:51It's another embroidery.
00:27:53With Tara's embroidered screen already presented.
00:27:56Whatever you offer will pale in comparison.
00:28:03I can't be bothered with troublesome and pointless things.
00:28:07Are you saying my gift is useless?
00:28:10Don't talk nonsense.
00:28:12This thing of yours took at least a month of carpentry and embroidery, right?
00:28:17And for what?
00:28:18It's too small to be a proper partition.
00:28:22And not classy enough to be a decoration.
00:28:25At best, it'll stay on display for a few days before being stashed away if it's not junk.
00:28:31What is it?
00:28:32Someone?
00:28:33Remove this useless item.
00:28:35Oh.
00:28:36Then I suppose your gift is ever so practical.
00:28:42Of course.
00:28:44Your Majesty, this is my gift to welcome you.
00:28:50This is my gift to welcome you.
00:28:52Ta-da!
00:28:53What is this?
00:28:54I've never seen it.
00:28:55Looks like metal?
00:28:56Sofie, is this the gift you mentioned?
00:29:02It's just a hung of metal.
00:29:04With my decades of experience at the Ministry of Works, I'd say it may seem novel, but it is useless.
00:29:11Excuse me?
00:29:12Excuse me?
00:29:13This is 21st century tech!
00:29:14If it wasn't for His Majesty, I'd never show you this.
00:29:16This is called an air conditioner.
00:29:17It'll keep your room warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
00:29:18What?!
00:29:19with my decades of experience at the Ministry of Works I'd say it may seem
00:29:25novel but it is useless excuse me this is 21st century tech if it wasn't for
00:29:34his majesty I'd never show you this this is called an air conditioner it'll keep
00:29:40your room warm in the winter and cool in the summer what all that from this lump
00:29:47of metal I doubt it me too same here see for yourself if I'm lying your majesty
00:29:58don't you think it's hot this June it is if not for the tournament held every five
00:30:06years between Thera and Drake Dale I wouldn't even be back here don't worry
00:30:12you'll feel better once I turn it on hold on oh no I let it out too soon I've
00:30:21heard that in court failing to stand by your word doesn't end well am I right I
00:30:33wouldn't make things hard for you how about this if your magical metal box can do
00:30:39what you promised you go back to quiet hall how's that if you agree publicly not
00:30:48even the Grand Emperor could help you if you lose
00:30:52so Sophie do you dare take the bet
00:31:00sure but if I do prove it it works that's impossible since we're a family I won't
00:31:08put you in a difficult position how about this if my air conditioner actually blows
00:31:13cold air you have to bark in front of everyone three times how's that deal
00:31:19are you sure I will live don't work
00:31:28huh little this metal box actually close this air conditioner is quite unique after
00:31:35I heard there's a type of crystal in the east sea that glows on its own she likely place some inside that box
00:31:46glowy crystals for Madison's knowledge is truly exceptional
00:31:52Sophie we're betting on whether your metal box can actually blow cold air being able to glow doesn't count as a win
00:32:02but it feels so cool
00:32:16your majesty how does it feel like heaven if we had this thing I wouldn't even need the summer retreat
00:32:29no way Tara now is your time to buy
00:32:40if we could mess produce tech like this you would surely ease our financial troubles
00:32:45Sophie you said it's warm in winter and cold in summer cold air alone doesn't prove it
00:32:50where's the heat heat I didn't think this thing could blow both cold and hot air and it doesn't even burn what if we had these in every home
00:33:18people wouldn't freeze to death in winter
00:33:24Tara are you satisfied now come on we're all waiting for your bark
00:33:31I've never seen a noble consort bark in a period drama I'm kind of looking forward to it
00:33:39your majesty your majesty please help me if I have to do that in front of everyone I'd rather die
00:33:52Sophie she is still a consort making her bark like a dog is beneath her dignity instead of that why not have
00:34:02her apologize you're all Liam's consorts show each other a little grace
00:34:08now I see exactly how Chancellor Horace Cox went from a nobody to the top in ten short years
00:34:17looks like being shameless really pays off
00:34:20watch your mouth you lose and the bet doesn't count your majesty aren't you afraid that appointing him as a chancellor would disgrace various reputation
00:34:26my father is nothing like that as they say like father like daughter
00:34:33Tara Tara Tara Tara she fainted Sophie how about letting her off the hook oh Tara why did you suddenly pass out?
00:34:41she fainted Sophie how about letting her off the hook oh Tara why did you suddenly pass out?
00:34:47your majesty Tara is having an acute episode I remember an old physician once said that the only cure for someone who faints like this is a fresh cup of child urine has to be immediate or she might not survive
00:34:54Noah noah hurry up and bring her a cup of urine
00:34:59I remember an old physician once said that the only cure for someone who faints like
00:35:04this is a fresh cup of child's urine.
00:35:08It has to be immediate or she might not survive.
00:35:13Noah, hurry up and bring her a cup of urine.
00:35:17You're just going to watch her die right in front of you?
00:35:23Sophie, are you serious?
00:35:25Your majesty, you can call the royal physician if you don't believe me, but if she dies in the meantime, it's not on me.
00:35:33If it's urgent, don't hesitate.
00:35:36Guards, escort Prince Noah to collect the remedy.
00:35:41Go on.
00:35:48Tara, here comes your fresh cup of child's urine.
00:35:52It's still warm. It's guaranteed to cure you.
00:35:54Let me help you.
00:35:56I'm awake. No need for that.
00:36:02Your highness, how did you know urine was to cure?
00:36:07Exactly.
00:36:09How would you know?
00:36:10Unless you weren't unconscious?
00:36:12You were faking it?
00:36:13I really did drink.
00:36:16Then I heard Sophie planning to feed me pee.
00:36:20So I jolted awake in public, making a concert drink that...
00:36:23Sophie, you're evil.
00:36:27Your majesty, if I hadn't woken up when I did, I'd have gone down as the laughingstock of Vera.
00:36:34Who said this cup was filled with pee?
00:36:40Then what is it?
00:36:42It's herbal tea.
00:36:44You little rascal.
00:36:48Always up to something.
00:36:49Tara?
00:36:52Where's your bark?
00:36:54Your majesty.
00:36:59You're the one who challenged her.
00:37:01I can't help you.
00:37:02Fine.
00:37:04I'll do it.
00:37:05Every kid pretended to bark or meow at some point.
00:37:10Woof.
00:37:13Tara?
00:37:14That was barely a whisper.
00:37:16Even the newborn puppy is louder than that.
00:37:18Woof.
00:37:19Woof.
00:37:20Your highness, you sound exactly like my little paw.
00:37:26I'm not lying.
00:37:35This ungrateful little brat's a dummy.
00:37:38Sophie, are you satisfied now?
00:37:42It's okay, I guess.
00:37:44Sophie has offered her gifts.
00:37:46Take your seats.
00:37:50Your majesty!
00:37:52Your majesty!
00:37:53Grandfather, what's wrong?
00:37:55My stomach hurts.
00:37:58It feels like a dozen knives are shredding me from the inside.
00:38:03Call the physician now!
00:38:08Just kill me already.
00:38:10Treat him immediately.
00:38:12His majesty has an intestinal abscess.
00:38:14There's no remedy.
00:38:16Please forgive us, your majesty.
00:38:18You quack.
00:38:19What use are you?
00:38:22Intestinal abscess?
00:38:23That's just appendicitis and modern medicine.
00:38:27That's basic surgery.
00:38:29Summon the other physician now!
00:38:31Your majesty.
00:38:32He is the best physician in Vera.
00:38:35If even he can't fix this, calling in every royal physician won't help either.
00:38:39Kill me already.
00:38:44All of you are useless.
00:38:47Letting him suffer like this is just cruel.
00:38:50It truly pains me to see this.
00:38:53Tara, what do you suggest?
00:38:55We should just give him peace.
00:39:00If your majesty permits, I'll have the funeral arrangements prepared now.
00:39:06If planning is left too late, there's a risk of oversight.
00:39:11Oh, that's cruel.
00:39:12She's ready to bury him before he's even dead.
00:39:15Your majesty.
00:39:20Why'd you leave so soon?
00:39:23Serves you right.
00:39:24When he's not around to shield you, you're done.
00:39:31Your majesty.
00:39:33His condition is getting worse by the minute.
00:39:34You need to make a decision.
00:39:36Liam, Tara's right.
00:39:41Keeping him alive is just prolonging his suffering.
00:39:45It's more merciful to let him be alive.
00:39:48Kill me.
00:39:49Just kill me already.
00:39:52Your majesty.
00:39:53It is by the will of the Grand Emperor.
00:39:56It's just a simple case of appendicitis.
00:39:59And you're ready to bury him alive?
00:40:02What's your real intention here?
00:40:04Sophie.
00:40:05Can you save him?
00:40:09Ask your question.
00:40:10Without pawing at me.
00:40:12Do you have a solution?
00:40:15Do you actually want to save him?
00:40:17What are you implying?
00:40:19Of course I want to save him.
00:40:22Aren't you on the same team?
00:40:25As them?
00:40:27Waiting for him to die so you can take full control.
00:40:31What are you saying?
00:40:33Only one can sit on the throne.
00:40:35I need to know your intentions so I won't be sabotaged during the operation.
00:40:42If anyone tries anything shady, I'll have their hands.
00:40:47Your majesty.
00:40:48All I've ever wanted was to help him.
00:40:50I'd never harm his majesty.
00:40:51Sophie.
00:40:53Your accusations are disgraceful.
00:40:55If not for his majesty's critical condition, I'd charge you with treason.
00:41:01Sophie.
00:41:02Is there anything you can do to help him?
00:41:05It's acute appendicitis.
00:41:07We need to remove it immediately.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Remove it?
00:41:12The appendix sits in the lower abdomen.
00:41:21How do we remove it?
00:41:22We need to open him up.
00:41:26Remove it and sew him back together.
00:41:29Open him up?
00:41:30He'll die.
00:41:31Exactly.
00:41:32Sounds more like she's trying to kill him than save him.
00:41:36You figured he's as good as dead anyway.
00:41:40So you want to gamble and come out looking noble.
00:41:46You sure know how to spin a tragedy into applause.
00:41:50Just because your physicians can't save him doesn't mean I can't.
00:41:55Since when do you know medicine?
00:41:57Why didn't I know that?
00:42:00Hey, are you in my head now?
00:42:02Do I owe you a biography?
00:42:03Sophie, your majesty, if this demonic method fails, the Grand Emperor will die in an undignified
00:42:10way.
00:42:12Liam, you can't allow it.
00:42:14This end hit kill me already.
00:42:19Do something now.
00:42:21If you want to save him, clear the room.
00:42:24I'll do the surgery now.
00:42:25Are you sure you can save him?
00:42:26If I can't save him, chop off my head.
00:42:31Sophie, you said it.
00:42:33You can get the executioner on standby.
00:42:37Everyone who's useless, get out.
00:42:42Sophie, I'll leave Grandfather in your hands.
00:42:46Hey, stay and assist me.
00:42:48Miss Shaw, your package.
00:43:07Who is he?
00:43:22Why would I tell you?
00:43:23Why would I tell you?
00:43:37You're really going to cut him open.
00:43:56What if you mess up?
00:43:58I may be fresh out of med school and haven't done surgery yet.
00:44:02But if we wait any longer, he'll die from internal rupture.
00:44:11Whatever.
00:44:12I need to save him.
00:44:13I'm the only one here who can even try.
00:44:29Light my sweat.
00:44:32I never thought she knew medicine.
00:44:42Aunt Mary, do you think she'll succeed?
00:44:45I'm sure she will.
00:44:48She'll send that old bastard straight to hell.
00:44:54That old bastard.
00:44:56He has been breathing down my neck for decades.
00:45:00Tonight, he finally stops.
00:45:02Once that bitch walks out of there, I'll have her arrested and beheaded on the spot.
00:45:09Grandfather!
00:45:11He's dead.
00:45:18He moved.
00:45:19He merely fainted.
00:45:21He's not dead.
00:45:22Of course he'll move.
00:45:23Your majesty.
00:45:28Your majesty.
00:45:29Your majesty, you died horribly.
00:45:30Your majesty, you died horribly.
00:45:32You didn't deserve this.
00:45:34Your majesty, you can't let Sophie get away with this.
00:45:37He died horribly.
00:45:40His body got torn apart.
00:45:42This is all because of you.
00:45:45You murdered him and tore his body apart.
00:45:50This is treason.
00:45:51You and your entire family are sentenced to death.
00:45:54Shut up.
00:45:55Your majesty, you're awake.
00:45:59Your majesty, you're awake.
00:46:00Do I look dead to you?
00:46:02I was just tired.
00:46:04I just took a nap.
00:46:07And you're making a fuss.
00:46:09Could you all shut up?
00:46:11Or were you hoping I stayed dead?
00:46:15I wouldn't dare.
00:46:17Oh, I bet you would.
00:46:22Sophie said she couldn't save me.
00:46:26But you tried to stop her.
00:46:28And were already planning my funeral.
00:46:31You two wanted me gone.
00:46:36Issue my command.
00:46:37Lady Gox is cruel and deceitful.
00:46:41Send her to Quiet Hall.
00:46:43Let that be a warning to everyone.
00:46:45Your majesty, your majesty, I know.
00:46:46I was wrong.
00:46:47I didn't mean to.
00:46:49I was just worried.
00:46:51Your majesty.
00:46:52Drag her out.
00:46:53Your majesty, please help me.
00:46:57Quiet Hall is cold and filthy.
00:47:01I won't survive there.
00:47:08Grandfather, Tyra didn't know how Sophie could perform surgery.
00:47:14Please, don't punish her.
00:47:16For something she didn't know.
00:47:18Exactly.
00:47:19Blame it for Sophie for hiding it.
00:47:21Excuse me?
00:47:23You...
00:47:23Grandfather, Tyra was born into luxury.
00:47:28Sending her to Quiet Hall is like sentencing her to death.
00:47:31I've got along just fine living there.
00:47:34Why can't she?
00:47:35She's different from you.
00:47:36She's different from you.
00:47:37Then tell me, please, what makes her more noble than me?
00:47:42In terms of lineage, three generations of my family served as first class generals.
00:47:48If I recall, Tyra's father was just some nobody official ten years ago.
00:47:54In terms of status, I'm the Empress.
00:47:58And you are just a side chick.
00:48:02What is that?
00:48:03An insult, in case you missed it.
00:48:07Your majesty, even life in the Serenity Hall brought me nothing but misery.
00:48:14How could I endure life in Quiet Hall?
00:48:20She got badly hurt saving me.
00:48:23The physician said she'll need five years to heal.
00:48:29Grandfather, please show her mercy.
00:48:33Just this once.
00:48:34I doubt you'd dare punish the one who saved the Empress' life.
00:48:42I was just wondering, how could a mere consort dare go against the Empress time and again?
00:48:50Turns out, it's you who's backing her.
00:48:53What now?
00:48:55You plan to set an example of favoring your mistress and discarding your wife?
00:49:00I wouldn't dare.
00:49:01Let's talk about debt.
00:49:02The Shaws gave you seven war heroes.
00:49:07Six died defending against Drake Dale.
00:49:10The only one who returned
00:49:12was General Shaw.
00:49:17He gave his life to save yours.
00:49:20So for you,
00:49:22the Crown Prince.
00:49:24And how?
00:49:26Have you repaid her?
00:49:30Guards!
00:49:32Drag this vile woman out!
00:49:36Your Majesty!
00:49:38Your Majesty!
00:49:39No, Your Majesty!
00:49:43Your Majesty!
00:49:45Quiet Hall is falling apart.
00:49:47How can I live in such filth?
00:49:52Your Majesty,
00:49:53Can I at least bring some decent clothes and food?
00:49:59If not, I really will die in there.
00:50:04Grandfather said
00:50:05the punishment
00:50:06will follow quite hollow rules.
00:50:08You disrespected Grandfather.
00:50:12He wanted you to have some punishment
00:50:16and didn't strip you of your title.
00:50:18He's already showing mercy.
00:50:20Even you think I wanted to harm him?
00:50:25I swear,
00:50:26I was surely doing it for his own good.
00:50:28I know you meant no harm.
00:50:37Stay in Quiet Hall for now.
00:50:39Once Grandfather's temper cools,
00:50:41I'll speak for you.
00:50:43You still care for me.
00:50:45Even if I die,
00:50:47it will be worth it.
00:50:49Why do you have so many things?
00:51:05Why?
00:51:07Does a lowly mistress exile to Quiet Hall
00:51:09think she can question me?
00:51:11I'm not a mistress.
00:51:13Say that again
00:51:14once you move to the Sunspire Hall.
00:51:17Sophie!
00:51:18Hey, what now?
00:51:20I want to
00:51:21walk back with you.
00:51:24Your Majesty.
00:51:27I can't take this.
00:51:29Go, go, go.
00:51:31Don't you hate Sophie?
00:51:32Why walk with her?
00:51:34I have state matters
00:51:36to discuss with her.
00:51:38She's a consort.
00:51:40What would she know about them?
00:51:42Don't lie to me.
00:51:45I still have documents to review.
00:51:47I'll return to the Imperial Study first.
00:51:48Your Majesty.
00:51:50Well,
00:51:51when will we consummate our marriage?
00:51:55It's been three years.
00:51:57The whole harem laughs at me.
00:51:59Says I'm nothing
00:52:01but a consort in name.
00:52:04Your body isn't fully healed.
00:52:06Let's wait till you're better.
00:52:07The physician
00:52:09said I've healed.
00:52:12But wasn't Master Steel
00:52:13the one
00:52:14who said you need to rest?
00:52:17I...
00:52:17If I'd known this would happen,
00:52:25I never would have
00:52:26faked that injury.
00:52:28I've taken the credit.
00:52:29Quiet Hall is a total dump.
00:52:42Sophie,
00:52:43how dare you set me up?
00:52:44My lady,
00:52:45it isn't the Empress.
00:52:47Hmm?
00:52:48Her Majesty was going to move in here.
00:52:51You told me
00:52:51to clear out the furniture
00:52:53and soak the bedding.
00:52:55Her Majesty only restored Quiet Hall
00:52:56to its original state.
00:52:59Sophie,
00:53:00if I can have peace,
00:53:01neither can you!
00:53:03Your Highness,
00:53:04you're in Quiet Hall now.
00:53:05The Empress Dowager's under house arrest.
00:53:07What else can you do?
00:53:08Also,
00:53:09His Majesty didn't head back
00:53:11to the Imperial Study.
00:53:13But,
00:53:14he went to Sunspire Hall.
00:53:16What did you say?
00:53:18Is he making up with the Empress?
00:53:21Her Majesty did give birth
00:53:22to the Crown Prince.
00:53:23She got lucky!
00:53:25She bumped into His Majesty
00:53:26while he was drugged.
00:53:27He doesn't actually love her!
00:53:30Hmm.
00:53:32Still,
00:53:33you have a point.
00:53:35I can't let her
00:53:36get close to him again.
00:53:43Go spread
00:53:44the word.
00:53:48Hmm.
00:53:50Hmm.
00:53:54Your Majesty,
00:53:55your room has been arranged
00:53:56as you instructed.
00:54:02Huh?
00:54:03Why is His Highness here?
00:54:11Tch!
00:54:12Are you thinking of
00:54:14moving back to the Sunspire Hall?
00:54:16Lady Cogs has been banished
00:54:18to Quiet Hall.
00:54:20Serenity Hall
00:54:20has already been assigned
00:54:22to another consort.
00:54:23To another consort.
00:54:27Didn't you love
00:54:28Tara the most?
00:54:30You framed me
00:54:31before the Grand Emperor.
00:54:34Just to make her
00:54:35Empress.
00:54:37Go keep her company
00:54:38in Quiet Hall.
00:54:40Hmm?
00:54:40Viola?
00:54:41Put up a sign
00:54:42at the gate.
00:54:43No entry
00:54:44for the scumbag
00:54:45and the ingrate.
00:54:47understood.
00:54:52Viola?
00:54:53Shut the doors.
00:54:55Understood.
00:54:56Wait!
00:54:58Wait!
00:54:59Wait!
00:55:08That's better!
00:55:09Your Majesty,
00:55:11His Highness
00:55:11finally tried
00:55:12to reach out.
00:55:13Do you want
00:55:14to shut him out?
00:55:15Now that Lady Cogs
00:55:16has been punished,
00:55:17she will take it out
00:55:18on him.
00:55:19What if he's hurt?
00:55:20Do you think
00:55:21he came on his own?
00:55:23All these years,
00:55:24the Empress Dowager
00:55:25and Tara
00:55:26have been turning
00:55:28him against me.
00:55:29There's no way
00:55:30they'd let him
00:55:30get close to me now.
00:55:33Most likely,
00:55:34they're scared
00:55:35by my recent changes
00:55:36and sent him
00:55:38to spy on me.
00:55:40Huh?
00:55:40Then we really
00:55:41can't let him
00:55:42move in.
00:55:44Your Majesty,
00:55:45why haven't you
00:55:46consummated
00:55:47your marriage
00:55:47with Lady Cogs?
00:55:50I asked
00:55:51the Imperial Physicians.
00:55:52They said
00:55:52her health is weak.
00:55:54But you can still
00:55:55sleep with her.
00:55:58I know
00:55:58she is alright,
00:56:00but I can't
00:56:01bring myself
00:56:02to do it.
00:56:04There's
00:56:04something
00:56:05missing
00:56:07between us.
00:56:08There's no desire.
00:56:10But...
00:56:10Noah,
00:56:14why are you crying?
00:56:15Lady Cogs
00:56:16said Quiet Hall
00:56:17was too harsh,
00:56:19so she told me
00:56:20to stay
00:56:20in Sunspire Hall.
00:56:22My mother
00:56:22kicked me out!
00:56:26Wait here.
00:56:28I'll stand up
00:56:29for you.
00:56:29I'll stand up
00:56:29for you.
00:56:29Sophie,
00:56:42is this how
00:56:42you act
00:56:43as a mother?
00:56:49Who's there?
00:56:50Hey,
00:56:53why are you
00:56:54so rude?
00:56:55Do you ever
00:56:56knock before
00:56:57barging in?
00:56:58What is that?
00:57:00Why should I
00:57:01tell you?
00:57:02Did you pay
00:57:03the consultation fee?
00:57:05How dare you
00:57:06speak to me
00:57:06like that?
00:57:07If you want
00:57:08respect,
00:57:09go to Quiet Hall.
00:57:10Tara will treat
00:57:11you so sweetly
00:57:12that your brain
00:57:13will rot.
00:57:14You...
00:57:14You...
00:57:15You saved,
00:57:20grandfather.
00:57:21This is the
00:57:22reward for you.
00:57:28Wow!
00:57:30Gold!
00:57:31Whoa!
00:57:33Now that's
00:57:34what I call
00:57:35generosity!
00:57:38So can you
00:57:39tell me
00:57:39what is
00:57:40that thing
00:57:41now?
00:57:42His majesty
00:57:45gave me
00:57:46the reward.
00:57:47What's it
00:57:47got to do
00:57:47with you?
00:57:48You're
00:57:48just stealing
00:57:49credit.
00:57:49You...
00:57:50Your majesty,
00:57:54the blueprint.
00:58:00Give me
00:58:00the blueprint
00:58:01for the air
00:58:01conditioner.
00:58:03Excuse
00:58:03me?
00:58:06Multiple
00:58:06dams in
00:58:07Jamware have
00:58:07burst.
00:58:08They need
00:58:08urgent repairs.
00:58:10But the
00:58:11treasury is
00:58:11empty.
00:58:12We can't
00:58:12spare the
00:58:12money.
00:58:13I came
00:58:14up with a
00:58:14solution.
00:58:15The air
00:58:15conditioner
00:58:16is a
00:58:16life-saving
00:58:17during
00:58:17summer.
00:58:17If we
00:58:18can mass
00:58:18produce it
00:58:18and sell
00:58:19it to
00:58:19noble
00:58:19and
00:58:20merchants,
00:58:20we could
00:58:21raise the
00:58:21fortune.
00:58:22The infamous
00:58:23wife-dumping
00:58:24scumbag is
00:58:25asking me for
00:58:26blueprints.
00:58:27Talk about
00:58:27getting ahead
00:58:28of yourself!
00:58:29As an
00:58:30empress,
00:58:30you live
00:58:30off the
00:58:31people's
00:58:31labor.
00:58:32Isn't
00:58:32it your
00:58:32duty to
00:58:32give
00:58:33back?
00:58:34Oh,
00:58:34save the
00:58:35lectures!
00:58:36I'm not
00:58:36the old
00:58:36Sophie anymore!
00:58:38This
00:58:38empress
00:58:39gig...
00:58:41take it...
00:58:43or leave
00:58:46it.
00:58:55The night
00:58:57order to
00:58:57stop spending
00:58:59the summer.
00:59:01No one's
00:59:01allowed to
00:59:02eat anything
00:59:03chilled.
00:59:03Yet you,
00:59:07the empress,
00:59:08were the
00:59:08first to
00:59:09buy the
00:59:09order.
00:59:10You can't
00:59:11even afford
00:59:11a chilled
00:59:12watermelon.
00:59:13You're so
00:59:13poor.
00:59:14Yet you've
00:59:14got the
00:59:15nerve to
00:59:15keep
00:59:15in
00:59:15harem.
00:59:17Clearly,
00:59:18the people
00:59:18of Vera
00:59:19means
00:59:19nothing to
00:59:20you.
00:59:24It
00:59:25figures.
00:59:26Ancient
00:59:26empress
00:59:27will think
00:59:27with the
00:59:27wrong
00:59:28head.
00:59:29Scumbag!
00:59:29I don't
00:59:30even have
00:59:30that many
00:59:31consorts.
00:59:31Just a few
00:59:32of them.
00:59:32Besides,
00:59:33they're...
00:59:33wait.
00:59:34I've
00:59:35received
00:59:35the
00:59:35reward.
00:59:36Now,
00:59:37get lost.
00:59:39Sophie,
00:59:39you...
00:59:40Dave,
00:59:43let's
00:59:44go.
00:59:48Your
00:59:48majesty,
00:59:49if you
00:59:49anger
00:59:50his
00:59:50majesty
00:59:50again,
00:59:51he might
00:59:51send you
00:59:51back to
00:59:51Quiet Hall.
00:59:52Don't
00:59:52worry.
00:59:53He
00:59:53needs
00:59:54me
00:59:54right
00:59:54now.
00:59:55Even
00:59:55if I
00:59:55stab
00:59:56him,
00:59:57he
00:59:57wouldn't
00:59:57dare
00:59:57lay a
00:59:58hand
00:59:58on
00:59:58me.
00:59:58Go
00:59:59put
00:59:59that
00:59:59sign
00:59:59back
00:59:59up
01:00:00again.
01:00:00I
01:00:00don't
01:00:00want
01:00:00this
01:00:00scumbag
01:00:01barging
01:00:01in
01:00:02here
01:00:02again.
01:00:02Even the
01:00:05consorts in
01:00:06the palace
01:00:06can't afford
01:00:07a chilled
01:00:08watermelon.
01:00:09How are
01:00:09common
01:00:09folks supposed
01:00:10to survive?
01:00:11That's right.
01:00:12Ever since the
01:00:13civil war ten
01:00:13years ago,
01:00:14Drake Dale took
01:00:15their shot.
01:00:15It took all
01:00:16seven men from
01:00:16your family,
01:00:17three years of
01:00:18war to put
01:00:18things right.
01:00:19Only then did
01:00:19Drake Dale
01:00:20agree to stop
01:00:20fighting and
01:00:21settle things with
01:00:22duels for
01:00:22twenty years.
01:00:23Still, both the
01:00:23court and the
01:00:24people are
01:00:24broke.
01:00:24His majesty has
01:00:25tried hard
01:00:26these five
01:00:26years, but
01:00:27with all the
01:00:27natural
01:00:28disasters,
01:00:29there's been
01:00:29little to
01:00:29show for
01:00:30it.
01:00:30Is this
01:00:31the jewel
01:00:31you mentioned?
01:00:32The grand
01:00:33match between
01:00:34Vera and
01:00:35Drake Dale
01:00:35on the
01:00:36sixth of
01:00:36next month?
01:00:37That's the
01:00:37one.
01:00:38Drake Dale
01:00:38has waited
01:00:39five years
01:00:39for this.
01:00:40They'll
01:00:40surely go
01:00:40out.
01:00:44I'm going
01:00:45to explode.
01:00:46Your majesty,
01:00:47calm yourself.
01:00:48Her majesty's
01:00:48likely resented
01:00:49for being sent
01:00:50to quite
01:00:50fall.
01:00:51That's why
01:00:51she was
01:00:52talking nonsense.
01:00:53Doesn't
01:00:53matter how
01:00:53she handled
01:00:54herself at
01:00:54the banquet.
01:00:55Sophie isn't
01:00:56someone to
01:00:57act unreasonably.
01:00:58Could there
01:00:58happen more
01:00:59to her
01:01:00attempt in
01:01:00ending her
01:01:01own life?
01:01:02Dave, go
01:01:03find out what
01:01:04really happened
01:01:05in Sunspirit
01:01:05Hall at the
01:01:06night of the
01:01:06rain ceremony.
01:01:07Understood.
01:01:09I heard the
01:01:10empress was
01:01:11having an
01:01:11affair.
01:01:12Watch your
01:01:13mouth.
01:01:14It's true.
01:01:15It was the
01:01:15night of the
01:01:16ceremony.
01:01:17Lady Cox
01:01:17caught her in
01:01:17the act.
01:01:18The empress
01:01:18even beat
01:01:19her up.
01:01:23Your majesty,
01:01:24it's probably
01:01:24just gossiped
01:01:25by the
01:01:26servants.
01:01:26No,
01:01:27it's true.
01:01:29Miss Shaw,
01:01:30your delivery
01:01:30has arrived.
01:01:32Sophie,
01:01:33you really
01:01:34are something.
01:01:35Your majesty,
01:01:36it's all
01:01:36rumors.
01:01:37Please don't
01:01:37believe them.
01:01:38Take care
01:01:39of your
01:01:39health.
01:01:40Your majesty.
01:01:45Come here,
01:01:46give me a
01:01:46kiss.
01:01:49Surround
01:01:50Sunspirit
01:01:50Hall.
01:01:51Don't let
01:01:51even a fly
01:01:52escape.
01:01:52Understood.
01:01:54Liam,
01:01:56have you
01:01:56lost your
01:01:57mind?
01:01:58Where is
01:01:58he?
01:02:01Who?
01:02:03Man you
01:02:03were having
01:02:04an affair
01:02:04with.
01:02:05I have no
01:02:05idea what
01:02:06you're talking
01:02:06about.
01:02:06your majesty.
01:02:18Your majesty,
01:02:25we searched
01:02:25thoroughly.
01:02:26There's no
01:02:26man.
01:02:28Speak up.
01:02:29For the sake of
01:02:30Noah,
01:02:31I'll give you
01:02:31swift death.
01:02:32are you
01:02:34insane?
01:02:36Oh,
01:02:37I get it now.
01:02:38This is all
01:02:38a ploy to force
01:02:40me to hand
01:02:40over the
01:02:40blueprint.
01:02:41Well,
01:02:42the more
01:02:42you push,
01:02:43the less
01:02:43I'll give.
01:02:44I don't take
01:02:45well to threats
01:02:46just to let
01:02:47you know.
01:02:50Soon or later,
01:02:51I will find
01:02:52him.
01:02:52how absurd.
01:03:02The scumbag
01:03:03is ruining
01:03:04my drama
01:03:04time.
01:03:07Your highness,
01:03:08his majesty
01:03:09and the empress
01:03:09had a huge
01:03:10fight.
01:03:10That's great.
01:03:12Did he ask her
01:03:12to hang herself
01:03:13or give her
01:03:14poison wine?
01:03:15I want to send
01:03:16her off
01:03:16personally.
01:03:17Neither.
01:03:17How could it
01:03:19be that his
01:03:20majesty even
01:03:20celebrated?
01:03:21Do you think
01:03:21he has fallen
01:03:22for her?
01:03:23Impossible.
01:03:24He told me
01:03:25that he doesn't
01:03:26care for any
01:03:26women in the
01:03:27harem.
01:03:27That they're
01:03:28all soulless
01:03:28creatures.
01:03:29That's why
01:03:30he's never
01:03:31slept with them.
01:03:31But the
01:03:32current empress
01:03:32is nothing
01:03:33like before.
01:03:34She's stunning
01:03:34and sharp-witted.
01:03:36At the banquet,
01:03:37I saw his majesty
01:03:38stealing glances
01:03:38at her many
01:03:39times.
01:03:41Da bitch.
01:03:43I want to
01:03:44depose Sophie.
01:03:47Why is that?
01:03:53Your majesty,
01:03:54something bad
01:03:55happened.
01:03:55What could
01:03:56possibly be so
01:03:56bad?
01:03:57You're shouting
01:03:58in here.
01:03:58I'll skin your
01:03:59life if you're
01:04:00disturbed
01:04:00grandfather.
01:04:01Your majesty,
01:04:02Mr. Cox
01:04:02sent an urgent
01:04:03report.
01:04:04Drake's tail is
01:04:05bringing fire
01:04:06mainstays for
01:04:06the duel.
01:04:07You must
01:04:08repair quickly.
01:04:10What?
01:04:11Fire mainstays?
01:04:13That beast
01:04:13can run a
01:04:14thousand miles
01:04:14a day.
01:04:16Our horses
01:04:17can't even
01:04:17compare.
01:04:19If that's
01:04:19their mouth
01:04:20for round
01:04:20one,
01:04:21we've already
01:04:22lost the
01:04:22first match.
01:04:24You may
01:04:24go.
01:04:28At this
01:04:29point,
01:04:30we can only
01:04:30count on Hank.
01:04:31He's the best
01:04:32fighter in
01:04:32Vera.
01:04:33If he goes
01:04:33only,
01:04:34we might win
01:04:35round two
01:04:35and round
01:04:35three.
01:04:38But,
01:04:39if we're
01:04:40using him,
01:04:41perhaps Tara
01:04:42should return
01:04:43to Serenity Hall.
01:04:44your majesty,
01:04:47bad news,
01:04:48Lady Cox
01:04:48has moved
01:04:49back to
01:04:49Serenity Hall.
01:04:50She must
01:04:51have lost
01:04:52some weight
01:04:52by now.
01:04:53She barely
01:04:53had any meat
01:04:54to begin with.
01:04:55Any skinnier,
01:04:56and hugging her
01:04:57would feel like
01:04:57clutching mere bones.
01:04:59Aren't you the
01:04:59least bit worried?
01:05:00The Grand Emperor
01:05:01has told me.
01:05:02He only released
01:05:03her to put Hank
01:05:04at ease before
01:05:04the duel with
01:05:05Drakedale.
01:05:06Aren't you afraid
01:05:06General Cox
01:05:07will win?
01:05:08And use the
01:05:09chance to demand
01:05:10your dethronement?
01:05:12That is only
01:05:13if he wins.
01:05:14But he's a
01:05:15two-time
01:05:15top martial scholar.
01:05:16Rumor says
01:05:17he's the number
01:05:17one warrior
01:05:18in Varya.
01:05:18He's got a real
01:05:19shot at beating
01:05:19the Drake Dallians.
01:05:21Relax.
01:05:22He won't win.
01:05:26Father,
01:05:27you'll have to
01:05:27stand up for me.
01:05:29Don't worry.
01:05:30I'll make sure
01:05:31that woman pays.
01:05:33Tara,
01:05:34I'll help too.
01:05:36Once Hank
01:05:37wins against
01:05:37Drakedale in the duel,
01:05:38I'll rally
01:05:39the court
01:05:40and force
01:05:41that woman
01:05:41to step down.
01:05:47If you don't
01:05:47like it here,
01:05:48you can leave.
01:05:49It's not like
01:05:50I wanted to be here,
01:05:51but I promised
01:05:52the Grand Emperor
01:05:52if I walk out early,
01:05:54he'll throw a fit
01:05:55and stop taking
01:05:55his medicine again.
01:05:57I don't know
01:05:58why Grandfather
01:05:58sends you here.
01:06:00You're no help
01:06:00in just getting
01:06:02in the way.
01:06:03He sent me
01:06:04to watch you
01:06:04make a fool
01:06:05of yourself.
01:06:08Enjoy the show
01:06:09when I'm
01:06:09Empress,
01:06:11I'll make sure
01:06:11you do the crime.
01:06:13Envoy from
01:06:14Drakedale
01:06:14request an audience.
01:06:18I, Mike Carly,
01:06:20greet you,
01:06:21Your Majesty.
01:06:23What's your matter,
01:06:24Savage?
01:06:26Who is the challenger
01:06:27from Veira
01:06:28for today's match?
01:06:30That would be me.
01:06:31I am the number
01:06:33one.
01:06:45Hey, no honor
01:06:47at all.
01:06:47How are you feeling?
01:06:48My ribs are fractured.
01:06:49I'm afraid I can't
01:06:50compete anymore.
01:06:51Hank actually lost?
01:06:53How am I supposed
01:06:53to become the Empress now?
01:06:54So much for being
01:06:55the nation's top
01:06:56martial scholar.
01:06:57Who would have
01:06:58expected him to be
01:06:59that weak?
01:06:59How do you know
01:07:00Hank was all
01:07:00flesh and no substance?
01:07:01Why should I tell you?
01:07:03One hit
01:07:04and he's down.
01:07:07Your Majesty,
01:07:09is this your
01:07:10so-called best
01:07:11drawing?
01:07:12You ambushed my son.
01:07:14How is that
01:07:15a fair win?
01:07:16Exactly.
01:07:17You didn't even
01:07:18say anything
01:07:18but we're striking.
01:07:19In Drakedale,
01:07:21this is how
01:07:22we greet each other.
01:07:23Blame yourself
01:07:24for being weak.
01:07:25Your Majesty,
01:07:26if this is the best
01:07:29Veira has to offer,
01:07:31I suggest surrender.
01:07:33As long as Veira
01:07:34sends tributes.
01:07:35Ten million tails of silver,
01:07:37five million butchers of grain,
01:07:39and one million boats
01:07:40of cloth annually.
01:07:41What is this thing
01:07:42doing demanding that much?
01:07:44Are you not afraid
01:07:45of dying from greed?
01:07:46Also seed three cities
01:07:48and ten towns
01:07:49to Drakedale.
01:07:50We'll consider it
01:07:51a fair tribute
01:07:52after all six
01:07:53of the shawls
01:07:53died at our hands.
01:07:55All right,
01:07:57that's it.
01:07:57My temper's
01:07:58out the window.
01:08:01Are you acting like
01:08:03you're some
01:08:04big shot?
01:08:06Huh?
01:08:07What does she mean?
01:08:08Your Highness,
01:08:09I think she just
01:08:10insulted you.
01:08:11You dare insult me?
01:08:14Ha!
01:08:14Hey, you!
01:08:16Why don't you hit him?
01:08:17I'm going to have
01:08:18an illness
01:08:19from all the
01:08:20second-hand anger.
01:08:21Don't tell me
01:08:23you bet everything
01:08:24on that pathetic man!
01:08:26We had others,
01:08:27but they were all
01:08:27poisoned last night
01:08:28and couldn't get
01:08:29out of bed.
01:08:30What a coincidence!
01:08:33Emperor Vera,
01:08:34you better admit defeat.
01:08:36But I want
01:08:37one more thing.
01:08:39Give her to me
01:08:40as my handmaiden.
01:08:44Insolence!
01:08:45How shameless!
01:08:46How shameless!
01:08:47I hear you insult
01:08:47Empress of Vera!
01:08:48If Sophie gets
01:08:49taken to Drakedale,
01:08:50then I'll finally
01:08:51be Empress.
01:08:54Mike,
01:08:55you're too arrogant.
01:08:57That's right.
01:08:58I'm arrogant
01:08:59because all of you
01:09:00are weak.
01:09:02What are you
01:09:02going to do?
01:09:03All you did
01:09:04was to pull a sneak
01:09:05attack on a weakling.
01:09:07Get over yourself!
01:09:08Listen up.
01:09:09I could beat you
01:09:10with one hand!
01:09:11What should we do?
01:09:12How can we
01:09:13you?
01:09:14One hand?
01:09:16Husky,
01:09:16do you dare
01:09:18go big?
01:09:20How big?
01:09:20Loser,
01:09:21gives up ten cities!
01:09:23Huh?
01:09:26Ten cities?
01:09:28That's half
01:09:29of our nation!
01:09:30This is absolutely
01:09:31ridiculous!
01:09:32Exactly!
01:09:33Ten cities.
01:09:33If we lose,
01:09:34the people will riot.
01:09:35I won't be able
01:09:35to protect you.
01:09:36Who asked you
01:09:37to protect me?
01:09:39Hey,
01:09:40Husky,
01:09:41are you in or not?
01:09:42Tell me!
01:09:43You dare to bet.
01:09:44Why would I
01:09:45back down?
01:09:46Fine!
01:09:47Oh,
01:09:47your majesty!
01:09:48You can't
01:09:48agree to this madness!
01:09:50Exactly!
01:09:51Her majesty
01:09:51couldn't even
01:09:52beat a fly!
01:09:53How could she
01:09:54beat the powerful
01:09:54might?
01:09:55Exactly!
01:09:57You...
01:09:57But Sophie
01:09:58is not reckless.
01:09:59If she said it,
01:10:00she must
01:10:01have a plan.
01:10:03Do you,
01:10:04Sophie?
01:10:05Hmm...
01:10:06of course!
01:10:07Of course!
01:10:08Your majesty,
01:10:09as she is so
01:10:10confident,
01:10:11let her try!
01:10:13Could she
01:10:14really win?
01:10:16Are we
01:10:17fighting or not?
01:10:19Admit defeat
01:10:20or let's go!
01:10:21If the empress
01:10:22loses,
01:10:22the people
01:10:23won't blame
01:10:23our family.
01:10:26Your majesty,
01:10:27we've got
01:10:27no other
01:10:28candidate.
01:10:29Might as well
01:10:30let her
01:10:31try.
01:10:33Then I shall
01:10:34leave the match
01:10:34to you.
01:10:35That's two or
01:10:35decides half
01:10:36of our kingdom's
01:10:37fate.
01:10:37You must be
01:10:38careful.
01:10:38relax.
01:10:41I won't
01:10:41lose.
01:10:48She's no
01:10:49match for him.
01:10:50How could she
01:10:50possibly win?
01:10:52We're doomed.
01:10:53We're doomed!
01:10:54Ten cities
01:10:55will go down
01:10:57as trainers
01:10:57through history.
01:10:59Did I
01:11:00make a mistake?
01:11:01Sophie,
01:11:02if you lose
01:11:03this duel,
01:11:04not even the
01:11:05Grand Emperor
01:11:05can save you.
01:11:07By then,
01:11:07you would just
01:11:08be a nobody
01:11:08and I'll
01:11:10be the
01:11:10respected
01:11:11and
01:11:11impressive
01:11:11Vera.
01:11:13Hey!
01:11:14Oh,
01:11:14Husky!
01:11:15You rude
01:11:16bull!
01:11:17Come here!
01:11:17I have
01:11:18treats for you!
01:11:19Come on!
01:11:20Come on!
01:11:21How dare you!
01:11:22Why is
01:11:23her majesty
01:11:24still provoking
01:11:24Mike?
01:11:25Oh,
01:11:26give the strength!
01:11:27Her majesty
01:11:28would probably
01:11:28die if he
01:11:30got angry!
01:11:32Just let
01:11:33her loose.
01:11:34The more
01:11:34humiliating
01:11:35her defeat,
01:11:35the less
01:11:36people will
01:11:36remember how
01:11:37our family
01:11:38lost.
01:11:38If Mike
01:11:39can cripple
01:11:39her,
01:11:40he'll be
01:11:40even better.
01:11:44Oh,
01:11:45playtime's
01:11:45over!
01:11:46Augh!
01:11:47Augh!
