00:19It's him.
00:25Derek!
00:27Hang on, I'll call you back.
00:29Blast the ring! My boss is going to kill me!
00:36Thank you. Much appreciated.
00:39Where did you acquire such an exquisite piece?
00:41I'm not sure. It's a vintage piece.
00:44It's probably going to cost a lot to fix.
00:47Careful, you're injured.
00:54Look, is there anything I could do for you?
00:57No, no, you've done a lot already.
01:00I just don't offer you afford to pay the ring.
01:02Consider it my responsibility, okay?
01:05Here.
01:06Take my name.
01:09And my number.
01:11And, uh, get in contact with the cost.
01:13I'll stop it now.
01:15Can I get your name as well, just so I know it's you that's contacting me?
01:17Maria, and you?
01:19You can call me down.
01:22Gotcha, Prince Derek.
01:33This should suffice for the restoration of the ring.
01:36Oh, that's more than generous.
01:38The insurance company would have already taken care of it, but thank you.
01:43Whoa!
01:59Sorry to use you, Derek Weston.
02:01But you're the only way I can get to your brother.
02:12Shouldn't have gone for a stolen manual hunting.
02:15You're the only way, silly woman.
02:21Mom!
02:25Mom, I swear I'll avenge your death, no matter how much it costs.
02:37I will get my revenge.
02:40Prince Chad.
02:53Johannes, I have obtained pertinent details about the young woman.
02:59Maria Williams, a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in journalism.
03:04She's American, aged 24, and a working class background.
03:10An Ivy League educated civilian from a humble background.
03:14She'll make a perfect princess of the people.
03:17Do you not find her antics rather calculated, Prince Derek?
03:22Indeed.
03:23Do you not notice the contrived nature of that whole ring shroud?
03:26She's been in that garden for days, biding her time, waiting for me to show up.
03:32It's clear she has an agenda, but if anything, it gives us a bit of leverage in the situation.
03:37Wise observation, your highness.
03:41It wasn't my initial intention to exploit the poor young woman, but...
03:45Dating a civilian from a working class background is undoubtedly going to increase my public reputation.
03:50And I'll do anything to stop Chad getting the throne after all the damage he's caused.
03:59Good morning, Dan.
04:01Actually, my dear, I must confess, it's not Dan. I'm Prince Derek, heir to the throne of Sealand.
04:09A prince? I would never guess the gentleman who ran into the bush for me would have been royalty.
04:14I do have a penchant for adventure, but in all seriousness, Maria, I appreciate your candor.
04:20Well, I've grown rather fond of you, and if you feel the same way, I'd love to see you again.
04:26I'm here for Derek, not his title. Your status has no sway over me.
04:32However, I do have an urgent matter to attend to, so how about a farewell hug?
04:40No girl can resist a Prince Charming.
04:43I've got her in the palm of my hand.
04:48What on earth?
04:50How daft can you be? Can't you eat?
04:52For sale? This was the house my mother left for me.
04:55Who gave you permission to sell it without my consent?
04:58Your consent? This house belonged to your father before he met your mother.
05:02It now jointly belongs to us.
05:05As his current wife, I can do as I please with it.
05:07You manipulated my father and tormented my mother until the day she died.
05:11And now you're taking away the only thing that she left for me.
05:15You're despicable.
05:16Is that how you speak to your stepmother?
05:20Your foolish mother got what she deserved.
05:23I did your father a great favor getting rid of her.
05:26Don't you dare insult my mother!
05:27I see your foolish mother I didn't teach you any manners.
05:32Allow me to do so.
05:35You're welcome.
05:36You're welcome.
05:36You're welcome.
05:42Okay.
05:44One.
05:45Two.
05:46Three.
05:50Maria.
05:55Maria.
05:57What happened?
05:58I don't want to bother you. I just had nowhere else to go.
06:01Hey, don't worry about it. Just tell me what happened.
06:06Well, my landlord kicked me out because I couldn't pay rent.
06:09And my boss said I was careless with the ring, so he fired me.
06:13Stay here with me. Let this be your home.
06:16Are you sure?
06:17Is it not too soon?
06:20Nothing is too soon when you're certain.
06:23How certain are you?
06:25As certain as the ice in winter.
06:28Your Highness, Miss Maria has been accommodated as instructed.
06:34See how easy it is?
06:35No girl can resist a Prince Charming.
06:38I've got her in the palm of my hand.
06:44Before I say anything, can you promise to keep my name anonymous?
06:48I don't want to get in trouble with Prince Chad.
06:50I'm a professional journalist. Your privacy is safe with me.
06:53All I'm doing is exposing what Chad did, so no other girl can get hurt the same way you did.
06:57I really want to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else, but I don't even have proof to what he
07:02did to me.
07:03I'll find all the evidence. You just need to tell me exactly what he did that night.
07:07Do you think you can help me?
07:08What's the point? He's the Prince. He won't be punished even if he had proof.
07:12It's important that your voice is heard.
07:14Hey you, back to work.
07:24Maria, my brother is hosting a charity dinner tomorrow night.
07:28I should like you to accompany me.
07:35How dare you show your face at this event, you bastard child.
07:38I thought you would have grown tired of bringing shame on this family, with your embarrassing behaviour and...
07:44What for taste?
07:46Well, clearly I was wrong.
07:48You know full well that that was a baseless rumour started by a daily man.
07:52Look, insult me if you must, but don't you dare insult her mother.
07:54Don't even mention her. You're just like her.
07:57Only caring about yourself and not the dignity of the royal household.
08:02If not, she would have never divorced the...
08:03Stop it! That's enough.
08:06To whom do you think you're speaking?
08:08I am the Prince.
08:10I'm sorry, Your Highness.
08:12But that's no way to speak to your brother.
08:15Are you his latest conquests?
08:17He's too spiless to satisfy you.
08:20Come to my room.
08:21And I'll show you a proper time.
08:23If you dare mention another word about my lady or my mother, you'll regret it, Chad Weston.
08:27We're playing a hero now, are we?
08:30Little brother.
08:32Enough!
08:36We are journalists present tonight.
08:38You cannot be seen pulling civilians.
08:46Did that article in the Daily Moon trouble you for a long time?
08:50After a while, you began to get used to the rumours.
08:53Besides, I'd never let a news article affect how I feel about my mother, or indeed myself.
08:57You're so brave for going through all of that.
08:59From time to time, I do think about who wrote the damn thing.
09:02They go by Theseus, obviously a pseudonym, but there were details in that article that were only known to family
09:08and very close friends.
09:14Your Highness, can I ask, what's your relationship with these women?
09:17Actually, she's my fiancée.
09:20Fiancée?
09:22We're getting married.
09:29A bastard in a bindle.
09:31If you are certain about marrying this girl, she assumes residence in the castle until the wedding.
09:39Yes, Queen Victoria, I'm certain.
09:42Maria is the woman I intend to marry.
09:44She may not be a noble platter, which, of course, is not the problem, as she will only be a
09:53princess, not a queen, since her husband will never wear the crown.
10:04Are you all right?
10:06Yes, yes.
10:08I'm sorry I didn't ask your permission first.
10:13Sometimes, I let my emotions get the better of me.
10:16It's all right, I've already said yes.
10:18But, look, marrying into the royal family, it's a bit of a complicated affair.
10:24Are you sure you don't want some time to think it through?
10:26I don't care. I just want to be with you.
10:29In that case, I'm going to have to teach you how to dance.
10:33I can't be that bad.
10:35Bad is an understatement.
10:38Take off your shoes.
10:45Step on mine.
10:46Step on mine.
11:05Oh, Maria.
11:07I remember when I first moved to the castle.
11:10It's quite overwhelming, isn't it?
11:13Yeah, it's a lot to take in.
11:15It's a sunny day.
11:18Rick.
11:19Will you bring my hat over?
11:25Are you out of your mind?
11:27I know what you're up to.
11:28You think just because you sleep with a prince it makes you one of us, well...
11:33It doesn't.
11:35I can smell your cheap perfume from here.
11:38You think your prince is perfect?
11:40Everybody knows that you send your mothers up to Chad's bedroom.
11:44You know how dare you speak to me like that?
11:47What happened?
11:48I don't know why you're mad at me, Ariana.
11:51After all, we're going to be sisters-in-law.
11:53No, no, I didn't.
11:54Need I remind you that you have not yet officially married my brother.
11:57You need to behave yourself in my house.
11:58I didn't. She fell over.
11:59Ariana, I saw everything.
12:01Come on, Maria. Let's get inside.
12:05Bitch!
12:06What's your language, my lady?
12:08How did she find out about Chad and the models?
12:11I need you to find out everything you can about her.
12:14I saw it right away, my lady.
12:16If she finds out anything about Chad, all my years of hard work will be finished.
12:20If Chad gets found out, I'll no longer be queen.
12:23Don't worry, my lady.
12:25I bet she does have an ounce of proof.
12:28She's bluffing.
12:29You're right.
12:32What would I do without you?
12:36My Majesty is coming.
12:39You should go.
12:46Your Highness.
12:48I've heard you're the most famous lawyer in the States.
12:53Now I've got a little issue that needs attending to.
12:58Money is not a problem.
13:01But I need you to keep your mouth shut.
13:04It is my honor to serve you, Your Highness.
13:07As you can see, I'm not as respected by the royal family as my brother.
13:13I suppose you wanted a prince that felt a little more valued by his family.
13:16Don't be silly.
13:18What your family thinks about you could never change the way that I feel about you.
13:26Sorry.
13:27I've just had a long day.
13:28I think I need to rest.
13:30Don't be sorry.
13:31You rest up.
13:37You're not here for romance.
13:40I'm here for revenge.
13:53Damn it.
13:59Good afternoon, Your Majesty.
14:03Prince Chad.
14:07You're back.
14:09We've been waiting for you.
14:11Why are you here?
14:12Mrs. Jefferson will be my personal attorney.
14:14She'll handle all my legal matters.
14:16It's such an honor to be working for you, Prince Chad.
14:20Samantha is a part of this family since she is your mother.
14:24And you will be married Derek soon.
14:27It pounces us even closer together now.
14:32Since the matter works for Chad.
14:35That is so beautiful of you to say, Your Majesty.
14:39Indeed.
14:40I love my stepmother to death.
15:01It's so beautiful as your father.
15:03I know I bet it was a few months before you leave the house to China.
15:03I love God.
15:03I love God.
