Short filmTranscript
00:03Your Grace, please! Send for the family doctor!
00:10My lady is with child and burning with fever. If this goes on, she will die. I beg you!
00:28Darling, what's all that noise outside?
00:30Who else? Your dear Duchess.
00:34Don't mention her. I married her only for her father's sake.
00:40Prince Alaric owes my parents a blood debt, and his daughter shall repay it.
00:45She is still your lawful wife.
00:47And carries your child in her belly.
00:50Child? She drugged me and forced that child on me. I wish I had never touched her.
00:57The only woman fit to bear my children is you.
01:03Your Grace, let me deal with her.
01:18Please tell His Grace my lady needs a doctor at once.
01:24You want a doctor? Then go find one yourselves.
01:28In a storm like this, you would send us out alone?
01:36the duke said if you had not drugged him he never would have touched you
01:42just looking at your face makes him sick and one more thing i was never pregnant a year ago
01:49you knelt in that chapel all night for a child that never even existed
01:53you are dying aren't you when you die he will marry me
02:13my lady
02:25kale i didn't know you despised me this much
02:30but i won't cling to you anymore i have no strength left my lady my lady
02:38surgery queen where the hell are you the party's waiting on you
02:41that last surgery took 12 hours i'm dead tired
02:45i heard about it the impossible case right in a field ruled by men you became the best surgeon
02:51of them all i seriously worship you
03:03wait did i travel to the past this feels like the memory of the original owner of this body
03:11my child may this little soul rest in peace and find eternal joy in heaven
03:16the service is complete i remember now this is one year before the original owner's death
03:23the day lilith faked her pregnancy and framed her for causing the miscarriage
03:27in her last life her husband forced her to kneel all night and pray for a child that never even
03:33existed
03:36since i've taken over her body i'll live her life properly and i'll make every last one of them pay
03:42elevin the donation book is here sign your name you will set up a mass fund for this child
03:48and from this day on you will come to this chapel every month to pray for him
03:52do not cry we can have another child
03:58tonight you will kneel here pray for that child's soul and repent for what you have done
04:05in the house of god forcing your lawful wife to repent for an infant who has never entered into
04:10the parish register goes against church rule
04:13duchess if you do not want to pray for my child you can simply say so
04:19my child never even had the chance to be born but then again what kindness could i expect from
04:25the daughter of a man drenched in blood
04:32elowen enough stop making a scene i will deal with you outside
04:40do not touch me you disgust me
04:51i will not sign that if there is nothing else i am leaving
04:59is this another one of your games let me make this clear your father killed my parents
05:04i will never forgive you never
05:11this is supposedly the funeral of your mistress's unborn child
05:16and yet all you can think about is whether your wife wants your attention
05:22and you miss lilith were you ever pregnant at all
05:34what nonsense are you speaking
05:36is this how prince aleric raised his daughter
05:38to defy her husband before god
05:40instead of lecturing me on obedience your grace
05:44perhaps you should ask miss lilith where the child's body
05:49duchess what are you saying
05:52do you truly think i would lie about my own child
05:55this is saint candle chapel
05:57the only woman here with the right to speak
06:00is the lawful duchess of blackthorne
06:03a mistress with no place in the parish has no right to interrupt me
06:07so tell me lilith where is the child's body
06:09why has no one ever seen it
06:11church law is clear
06:13even an unborn child must be entered into the parish record and witnessed by a priest before burial
06:19if you want me to kneel here and pray then show me the body
06:23father damaso bring the register

06:55until you know the truth do not use a false charge to humiliate your lawful wife
07:06lilith were you lying to me

22:44you are a duchess not a physician

22:54your majesty think carefully
22:56a duchess who has never practiced medicine dares to speak like this
23:00the princess is royal blood

23:07your majesty
23:08if my daughter cannot save the princess

24:56she may not be acting alone

25:47the duchess killed her
25:49she's one of them
25:50she only pretended to treat the princess
25:52so she could finish the job
25:54this is all my fault
25:56i should have stopped her
25:58if sebastian had treated the princess instead
26:01none of this would have happened
26:02she ran because she knows what she's done

27:34lord chancellor
27:35the princess has barely made it through
27:37and you're already trying to bury house valamont
27:39with her
27:40you're awfully impatient
27:43i was only concerned for the princess
27:45the duchess is the one making a scene
27:47your majesty
27:48the princess is out of danger
27:51i've treated the arrow wound
27:53and the new smothor has been dealt with
27:54she needs rest now

28:07not so fast duchess
28:08you saved my daughter
28:10name your reward
28:13your majesty
28:14i ask for two things
28:15first
28:16grant me a medical house
28:18so i may practice medicine openly and save lives
28:22elwyn
28:22elwyn
28:23have you lost your mind
28:25women cannot study medicine
28:27much less practice
28:31your majesty
28:32elwyn speaks for herself
28:33she does not speak for house blackthorn
28:36your grace
28:37what you did for the princess was admirable
28:39but i must speak plainly
28:41women do not belong in public life
28:43a woman's duty is to tend the home
28:45serve her husband
28:46and raise children
28:47not stand before men with a blade in hand
28:49diagnosing patients
28:53what a narrow-minded thing to say
28:56elizabeth the first ruled england as a woman
29:00she was not hidden away
29:01she did not depend on any man
29:04she protected an entire kingdom
29:07by your logic
29:08was that great queen wrong as well
29:14well said
29:15your request is granted
29:17as for the two of you
29:18one is useless
29:20and the other is a liar
29:21sebastian
29:22every royal medical title
29:23and office you hold is revoked
29:25from this day on
29:26you will never set foot
29:27in this palace again
29:28lilith
29:29immediate revoke
29:30all aristocratic privileges
29:31you have enjoyed
29:32through excessive indulgence
29:34prohibit entry to the royal palace
29:35royal estates
29:36and all official social events
29:38your influence over the court
29:40is at an end
29:49everyone
29:49listen up
29:51starting today
29:52holy candle chapel's charity clinic
29:54will treat wounds and fever
29:56free of charge
29:57this medicine was made by the duchess herself
30:00it cleans wounds
30:01stops infection
30:02and helps them heal
30:03princess ariana used it after the attack
30:05and now she has fully recovered
30:08my face was burned in a fire
30:12i begged doctor after doctor for help
30:14and all they told me was i should be grateful to be alive
30:17but the duchess refused to give up on me
30:20she cleaned my wounds
30:22treated me every day
30:23and gave me a second life
30:26some doctors have skill but no heart
30:28some have heart but no skill
30:30the duchess has both
30:34step forward
30:36the duchess will see you herself
30:37free of charge
30:38form a line
30:39the duchess will see everyone
30:41one by one

30:53a commoner
30:53i greet you
30:58i heard you've been standing outside for nearly two hours
31:01the charity line is packed yet you neither came forward for treatment nor left
31:06you just stood there watching my maid
31:08so tell me
31:09did you come here to be treated
31:10or to watch us
31:13no your grace
31:14it wasn't like that
31:15i only heard your medical skill was remarkable
31:18and wanted to see it with my own eyes
31:20i did not dare come closer
31:22you did not dare
