00:03It's a boy. Perfect.
00:06George now has an heir, and my position is secure.
00:13Bella, kill her and clean this mess up.
00:17Miss Eleanor, you promised freedom once the child was born.
00:21Freedom? Look at you. Covered in blood, no better than a kennel, bitch.
00:26Do you deserve freedom?
00:31Mother, save me!
00:35I'm not your mother. Never was.
00:39Nineteen years ago, I swapped my daughter with the Countess.
00:42My daughter became Lady Aluna.
00:44And the Countess's daughter, you, became a maid.
00:49Now you even have to bear a child for my daughter.
00:51No, impossible!
00:57What's the racket?
00:58No, George! They're trying to kill me!
01:02Save me! For the child I won't be!
01:05Annoying. Silence her forever.
01:25Am I dead? Where am I?
01:28To ensure Lady Eleanor's health and her relationship with Vich and George remain unaffected by pregnancy, the most suitable among
01:36you will be chosen to bear their heir.
01:38This is three years ago! The day I was chosen as a surrogate maid!
01:48Too skinny. Next.
01:56My lady, Miss, Catherine is the most suitable. She's beautiful, well-mannered and will fulfill the task perfectly.
02:04Good. Sign the contract and send her off.
02:07Countess, my real mother. I'm your true daughter. But if I speak now, they'll call me mad. Wait. I'll return
02:13with proof and stand before you with dignity.
02:15Remember, Catherine, your only worth is to bear an heir for me at Hockmore. Complete the task faithfully. And I'll
02:22grant you freedom.
02:22I understand, Miss Eleanor. I'll bear the heir for you and Lord George as promised.
02:30This life, I won't be deceived again. I'll marry your father-in-law, Duke William, the most powerful man in
02:35Hockmore.
02:36Once I'm the lady, I'll throw you all into that sewer myself.
02:46Henry, settle the horses. Report to the study in an hour.
02:49Yes, Your Grace. Welcome home.
02:54Duke William, the man I'm meant to marry. With his power, I'll crush every enemy who harmed me. This is
03:01the path I must walk in my new life.
03:07This is the strongest aphrodisia. Tonight, I'll make this powerful Duke remember me.
03:18Who are you? Why are you here so late?
03:20Forgive me, Your Grace. I'm Catherine, the new maid serving Lady Eleanor. I was sent to fetch water. The castle's
03:26so vast, I got lost. It wasn't intentional.
03:29Eleanor's maid? From Windsor? Do you know the penalty for trespassing here at night?
03:34I-I-I-I know. With him. Or the dungeons. Please, Your Grace, it was truly an accident.
03:38An accident? Or a carefully planned move?
03:41I was lost. And now, you've found me.
03:46I was lost. But Taj within a room, I literally need a break.
03:52I'm not sure how I might get hurt.
03:53I'm not sure how I work. There's been aĆŗc for we could instead.
03:53Outro in the window for you.
03:59Newula scene is a catholicć± Š¾Š±ŃŃ in the body.
04:05Doing a brain so I'm not qualidade.
04:09I'm reaching out for the future of my mother souls.
04:10Together I haveiss already from the island
04:16I need Duke William to see his own son lying beside the woman he desires.
04:27Katherine!
04:42Why are you coming from that direction?
04:43Miss, I got lost. The castle's like a maze at night. I took a wrong turn.
04:49Lost? To the Duke's study door? Your hair is disheveled, your lips are swollen.
04:54Does that look like getting lost? Who do you think you're fooling?
04:59Remember why you were sent here.
05:04I swear I didn't mean to. The Duke found me. He was furious, questioned me, then let me go. I
05:09know my purpose.
05:10I'm here to help you and Lord George have a child.
05:13How could I dare to think otherwise?
05:16Your purpose. Exactly. Time to fulfill the agreement.
05:21Now let's go. To the Viscount's room. Right now.
05:28George, she's here.
05:33Ah, the little beauty.
05:37Don't waste time. Get it done today.
05:41No, Lord George.
05:43Silence!
05:44You do well to obey.
05:46Ah!
06:02Ten years. I've never felt such a stirring for any woman.
06:06But last night, why did a mere maid shake me so? I need to uncover the truth about her.
06:13Your Grace.
06:15It was a maid last night. Catherine, serving Lady Eleanor.
06:20Find her. Bring her to me at once.
06:22My Lord, that girl, she's a contractual asset delivered by Countess Margaret and Lady Eleanor.
06:28Her sole purpose is to bear an heir for Lord George.
06:30And now, she's in Lord George's chambers.
06:34Today is the day to...
06:37Fulfill the contract.
06:48Finally quiet.
06:51Let's continue.
06:53Aaaaah!
06:56Dr. Eleanor chose you to bear my child.
07:00I'm sure you must be some special skill.
07:03Let's see if you're worthy.
07:06Hurry up, George.
07:08I don't plan to waste the whole day here.
07:10Then get out!
07:12Stop hovering!
07:13Why?
07:14I need to watch. Make sure she fulfils her duty.
07:19Damn. My stomach's kidding me.
07:21Go to my study.
07:22Left will bring the medicine.
07:24Now.
07:25Now?
07:27Right now.
07:28Unless you want to be a widow.
07:35Finally quiet.
07:38Let's continue.
07:46What is this?
07:50Father!
07:51What brings you here?
07:53I just...
07:54Get out!
08:02Look at me.
08:07Did you leave this last night?
08:09I...
08:10I...
08:10I was scared after last night.
08:12I didn't know what to do.
08:13I...
08:13I thought maybe you'd remember.
08:15But then Lady Eleanor found me.
08:18Brought me here.
08:19Told me to fulfill the agreement.
08:21I refused. Begged her, but...
08:23You're never to enter this room again.
08:25Or be near George.
08:26Understood?
08:27I understand.
08:28But I'm bound by contract to Lady Eleanor.
08:30I'll handle Eleanor's contract.
08:32From now on, you answer to me.
08:34Henry!
08:39Take her to the West Wing guest suite.
08:41Prepare clothes, necessities and reliable staff.
08:43Go clean yourself up.
08:45Yes, Your Grace.
08:51My lady, the Duke sent me to look after you.
08:54Thank you for saving me.
08:56I'd have been beaten to death by the Viscount and his wife otherwise.
09:00Don't mention it, Rebecca.
09:02But I need your help with something.
09:04Anything you ask, my lady.
09:09Slip this potion into Lord George's wine.
09:11Then tell Eleanor we're meeting in the East Wing's unused blue salon.
09:16We'll make those who wronged us pay.
09:20Consider it done, my lady.
09:30Miss!
09:31I swear I saw it!
09:32Lord George went in.
09:33And not long after, Catherine slipped in too.
09:35The door's shut and there's indecent noises coming from inside.
09:37How dare they betray me, slut!
09:53I wasn't lying, mother.
09:55The Vinet told me you've been obsessed with you.
09:57I knew my charm hadn't faded.
09:59If I could capture the Viscount and not rely on Eleanor, I would be able to fully enjoy my wealth
10:04and honour.
10:06Wait here for him.
10:07I'll leave you two alone.
10:15You came!
10:16My beauty.
10:18I knew you couldn't resist.
10:22No more games, sweetheart.
10:24You're mine.
10:41You old hag!
10:42How did you end up in my bed?
10:46I thought I was with Catherine.
10:48You thought she was Catherine?
10:51And you, Bella?
10:54Did you think you were someone else too?
10:57Or did you just seize the chance and not even spare your daughter's husband?
11:05Trap.
11:06This is a trap.
11:08Catherine did this.
11:09It must be her.
11:12I heard the noise.
11:14What happened?
11:15Perfect timing.
11:17Did you say that the Viscount asked me to wait for him here?
11:20Bella!
11:21You dare steal my husband?
11:24No.
11:25I mean, Catherine drugged me and brought me here.
11:29Me?
11:30Impossible.
11:31I've been in my room all afternoon.
11:33The maids can vouch.
11:34Enough!
11:35You disgust me, old witch.
11:38Guards!
11:39Kill her!
11:40Eleanor, save me.
11:41If I die, you won't fare well either.
11:43I'm your mother!
11:46If I could, please calm down.
11:48Perhaps, perhaps Lady Bella was more momentarily misguided.
11:52She's humiliated you, yes, but she's served me for years.
11:54The execution's too harsh.
11:56Maybe confine-
11:57Harsh?
11:57She deserves death.
11:59Gouge her eyes, cut out her tongue first, then the dungeon.
12:01For your sake, I'll spare the execution.
12:04Do as you say.
12:06Thomas!
12:08No!
12:10Let me go!
12:16No!
12:18It wasn't me!
12:21It's Catherine, that devil.
12:22She orchestrated Elnor George to tell Lady Eleanor.
12:25You!
12:26You violent, treacherous demon!
12:30Silence!
12:30Is this how you treat your own mother?
12:33Are you my mother?
12:34You're just a pathetic, greedy old woman who forgot her place.
12:37A governess who tried to climb into Hanagatard's bed.
12:41You know the truth about your birth.
12:43I confess.
12:44I'll tell all.
12:45You're the true daughter of the Count.
12:47Stare me!
12:48Last life, you stole my life, my name, my mother.
12:50Gave me 19 years of slavery and a death in a sewer.
12:54Now pay with your eyes and tongue.
12:56No!
13:05The dungeon business.
13:07Is it done?
13:08Yes, your grace.
13:10As Lord George ordered.
13:12I don't care about George's orders.
13:13I asked about your business.
13:15Is it finished?
13:16He knows.
13:17How much does he expect?
13:19You play the part well, like a frightened lost lamb.
13:22Lambs don't leave tokens on a Duke's bed or walk from a bloody dungeon with an aura of vengeance.
13:27Your grace, I don't understand your meaning. I only-
13:30From the moment I almost saw you I suspected.
13:32You're far more complex than you pretend.
13:35Who are you, really?
13:36What do you want?
13:43From the first time you got lost, and ended up in my bed, to now, kneeling here.
13:49You've been plotting your way closer to me, step by step.
13:53So tell me, what do you really want?
13:57What?
13:57I want my stolen life back, your grace.
13:59I am the Countess's true-born daughter.
14:03Proof?
14:04On my left shoulder blade, there's a maple leaf-shaped birthmark.
14:14What does a birthmark prove?
14:16There are records in the old medical logs of the Earl's household.
14:19Document, find the evidence, and it will prove everything.
14:23So you came to me?
14:25To use my sword for your revenge?
14:27Not just revenge.
14:29I need protection, your grace.
14:31I need a position high enough to stand against them.
14:34Just please.
14:37You're clever, Katrin.
14:39You know exactly how to manipulate a man's most primal instincts.
14:43I had no other choice.
14:46With such sexy lips, such a hot body, and so many secrets in your mind,
14:51how could I miss them so easily?
14:53Starting tomorrow, you move out of the maid's quarters.
14:55You'll take the position of my clerical assistant and reside in the chamber next to my study.
14:59You doing this?
15:00Keeping you under my watchful eye.
15:01Every move you make, every person you meet, I'll know about it.
15:04Surveillance, but also...
15:07Protection.
15:10Yes, your grace.
15:12Katherine!
15:12Finn.
15:16Remember everything you've told me tonight.
15:18If even one word is a lie, you know the price of deceiving me.
15:24A size beneath the moonlight, like a pearl sinking into a deep pool.
15:30Pretty, but lacks a certain novelty.
15:40Novelty.
15:40Novelty?
15:41Speaking of which, we've recently welcomed a novel figure at Hawkmoor.
15:47Look at this, Miss Katherine.
15:49Just days ago, she was my dotic maid, specifically tasked with bearing my husband's heir.
15:54Now, she's somehow transformed into a document assistant in the Duke's study.
15:59Even more numerically, she managed to get lost and end up in your grace's bed.
16:03Should we perhaps address her as...
16:06Hawkmoor's whore?
16:09Miss Eleanor, by slandering me so, aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone
16:12that your mother, Bella, is the one who truly climbed into your husband's bed?
16:18Oh!
16:19You bish!
16:20I saw it with my own eyes in the blue salon, and she was so loud when having sex with
16:25your husband.
16:27You lowly whore!
16:37Miss, though I may be of humble birth, I am also the Duke's personally appointed clerk assistant.
16:43I only wish to do my job well.
16:46Why must you treat me this way?
16:48You bish! Don't play the innocent with me!
16:50You can fool the Duke, but not me!
16:53Watch me beat you to death!
16:55Stop!
17:05Your Grace, you've come just in time. I'm just lecturing this one who doesn't know the rules.
17:09I didn't ask you.
17:17Does it hurt?
17:20Your Grace, she started it, she provoked me first.
17:28What I saw was her not crossing any boundaries while you struck her.
17:34By Hockmore law, anyone who strikes another without cause receives twenty lashes and is banished from the castle.
17:42Your Grace!
17:43I have respect for your family name, and because you are my daughter-in-law, I'll spare you this time.
17:47I hope this is the last time.
17:52The injury on your face needs ice. Come with me.
18:09Come here, Jenny.
18:11Put this into the rose soap Catherine uses every day.
18:16I want her to weaken slowly, silently. Her skin to rot. Her hair to fall out.
18:23Miss, it's too dangerous. What if we're caught-
18:27Do it right away.
18:29Otherwise, you'll be sold to the brothel at the docks tomorrow, I promise.
18:32The men there will make you miss every day of this.
18:38Get it done by tonight. Get out.
18:43This rose soap smells wrong.
18:46Beneath the sweet rose scent lies a pungent metallic odour, arsenic mixture.
18:51Eleanor, your clumsy trick from a past life. Do you really think it'll work again this time?
18:56You'll never imagine that this sneaky move of yours will backfire on you, but for me, it's the perfect opportunity
19:01to gain the Duke's sympathy and care.
19:05Rebecca, starting from tomorrow, tell everyone that I'm sick.
19:08Headache, fatigue, loss of appetite.
19:10But you're not-
19:11Just do as I say.
19:16Also, there's something wrong with this soap. Someone mixed it with chronic poison trying to disfigure me.
19:21Swap it tonight with the one an Eleanor usually uses in her bathroom.
19:26Swap it? You mean use her own poison against her-
19:30Yes, the gift she gave. Of course should be tasted by her herself. Be careful, don't be noticed.
19:36I understand, my lady. Leave it to me.
19:52Henry said you're sick.
19:57Just a little tired, your grace. Nothing to worry about.
20:05You look very bad. How's a physician seen you?
20:09No need. I'm just a little cold.
20:12Your hands are as cold as ice.
20:15Could you? Stay with me for a while. Just for a little while.
20:23That's it. Duke's affection to me is growing bit by bit. The goal is getting closer.
20:30This act must be played to the end.
20:38Why do I lose so much hair?
20:40It's so itchy.
20:46No! No! My face! My hair!
20:52This smell. This damn smell. It was supposed to be in Catherine's room.
20:57How chance did it end up here?
21:02Catherine. You vicious bitch. How dare you? How dare you do this to me?
21:06I swear, I will make you pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold price.
21:16Your Grace. Take a look. These rashes all over my hands. And my face.
21:26It's all that wicked Catherine's doing. She poisoned the soap trying to disfigure me to kill me.
21:32Is there such a thing?
21:34Eleanor, within Hockmore Castle, accusations against anything or anyone require evidence.
21:40Go back to your room first. I will have Henry investigate this thoroughly.
21:44I know, Your Grace. I swear, it's her. You must avenge me.
21:50I said I will handle it.
21:53Alright, Your Grace. I'm waiting for your investigation results.
22:03Eleanor's maid, Jenny, has confessed everything.
22:07She admitted that it was Mrs. Eleanor herself who ordered her to add the poison to the soap, targeting Miss
22:13Catherine.
22:13But somehow that poison soap ended up being used by Mrs. Eleanor herself.
22:21Evidence?
22:22Jenny handed over the remaining powder of the poison.
22:27This is it. We found the apothecary who sold it. He confirmed that the purchaser was Mrs. Eleanor's personal maid,
22:34and described her appearance and the amount of gold coins she paid, which were consistent with the facts.
22:40Plot harm, then file false accusations to cover it up.
22:45Pure evil and unforgivable. She must be severely punished.
22:50Your Grace.
22:55Mrs. Eleanor has already been punished. She harmed herself with her own poison.
23:00Perhaps no additional punishment is needed. Just restricting Mrs. Eleanor's movements is enough. Let us stay in her room and
23:06reflect on her misdeeds.
23:09Eleanor Windsor, from today, is confined to her room, not to leave without my express permission.
23:14Remove most of her servants, leaving only Cato to serve allowances, providing on only the basic living...
23:21Father!
23:22I heard you mean to punish Eleanor! She is my wife!
23:26You cannot do this to her!
23:29Precisely because she is your wife that I must punish her.
23:32As the young mistress of Hotmore Castle, instead of setting an example, plotted to harm others.
23:37It's unforgivable.
23:39Father! She might just be confused for a moment.
23:42This is an order, George.
23:51Is this what you want?
23:54What?
23:54This play was performed extremely wonderful.
24:00Right and wrong, good and evil, I believe.
24:03You has own judgement.
24:05You still chose to help me, didn't you?
24:07I wonder how many secrets are still hidden in you.
24:20Your...
24:21Your Grace, what are you going to do?
24:26Why did you plead for her?
24:29You know she deserved punishment, you know she tried to kill you.
24:32I know.
24:34But why?
24:38Because...
24:38I didn't want this to be hard for you.
24:42Hard for me?
24:44She's your daughter-in-law.
24:46George is your son.
24:47If you punished her severely, there would be a rift between father and son.
24:55You were thinking of me.
24:58Can I?
25:05Katherine, do you know what I hate the most?
25:08Being played, especially, by women I can't see through.
25:15Every step you take is perfectly timed
25:19Every word you speak falls at exactly the right moment
25:24You made me investigate your past
25:26You showed me your scars
25:27You made me unable to resist protecting you
25:32What if I told you
25:35I'm not playing you
25:38Then tell me
25:39What part of you is real
25:44That I didn't want this to be hard for you
25:46That part
25:49Is real
25:50Then prove it
25:57You still don't trust me
25:59You're too perfect, Katrin
26:00Every appearance is flawlessly timed
26:03Every word strikes a chord in my heart
26:05The perfect victim
26:06The perfect avenger
26:08The perfect temptress
26:11Then why do you still
26:12I want you
26:14But I won't let myself fall in love with you
26:18What if I told you
26:20This moment I'm giving myself to you willingly
26:23Would you believe it?
26:32Damn Katrin
26:34She's actually hooked up with Duke
26:35It won't be long before she's riding on our heads
26:38My father wouldn't be serious about a servant
26:40I need to teach her a lesson to make her know her place
26:49Catherine, perhaps you'd favour us with a tune on the harsh chord
26:53She's been a maid all her life
26:55How would she know how to play?
26:58As a maid
26:59If she fails to meet her master's demands
27:01Orking to the rules
27:02She will be slapped in public
27:04And then expelled from the house
27:05She can't possibly call you
27:08If you want to listen
27:09I'll play a piece as you wish
27:11Cut the axe
27:13Help is a lowborn trash
27:14Like you possibly play the harpsichord
27:31She's so talented
27:37Oh my goodness
27:38This skill is more exquisite than that of a court musician
27:42She's a maid
27:43What?
27:45Mother
27:46Look at Catherine
27:48As a maid
27:49She's not content with her duties
27:51But shows off at the ball
27:52She's humiliating me
27:54Even the most refined skill cannot change a lowborn nature
27:58Mother
27:59I'm your biological daughter
28:01You stand with the one who harmed me
28:03And speak of my nature
28:04Lowborn
28:05Who said she's a maid?
28:07Catherine is my personally appointed clerk
28:09And an honoured guest of Hockmore Castle
28:11Anyone who calls her a maid again
28:14Is insulting this ducal house
28:17Even if that someone
28:18Is my own son and daughter
28:20Just how many more surprises are hidden inside you?
28:30Eleanor, your mother is unwell
28:31It's time you escorted her back
28:38Mother, you don't recognise me
28:39But one day I'll make you see the truth
28:42See who is truly lowborn
28:44Talk to you
28:45...
28:45You
28:46That
28:46You
28:46You
