00:03My lady, are you here to beg for alms or to take a bride?
00:06Dressed in such rags, do you not feel ashamed?
00:08Compared to Lord Montague, you're as far apart as heaven and earth.
00:13Just what are you wearing?
00:15In front of so many esteemed officials, are you not bringing shame upon me?
00:19Today is your wedding day, and yet you came dressed like this.
00:23Do you not find this is a disgrace?
00:26Sister, are you not embarrassed?
00:27Marriage is a lifelong commitment built upon sincerity, not mere appearances.
00:32The man that I, Evelyn Sterling, have chosen is not one whose worth can be swayed by idle words.
00:37Have you not embarrassed us enough?
00:40Master, do not be angered.
00:43From the moment Evelyn sets me on this threshold, she shall no longer be at the Sterling family.
00:47The auspicious hour has arrived. Bring the bride to the carriage.
00:58That is the impo...
01:03Congratulations, Master Sterling.
01:05Your son-in-law is truly an exceptional man.
01:09Many thanks, Deputy Minister.
01:11Please, come inside.
01:12After you.
01:17Surely you didn't arrive on foot today.
01:19On such a big day, will you have the bride walk all the way to your home?
01:24Unheard of.
01:26Indeed.
01:26Not like my husband.
01:32My lady, please.
01:34Allow me to take you home.
01:54Outrageous!
01:56No, I must inform his majesty.
02:00Give it back to me.
02:03This jade pendant looks of fine quality.
02:05From where did you steal it, sister?
02:08It is from Lucas. Give it back.
02:12That wretched beggar.
02:14He would never possess such a fine pendant.
02:17He must have stolen it from somewhere.
02:19What right have you to make such rash accusations?
02:21Lucas may not be of noble birth like you,
02:23but you believe that possessing a jade pendant is your rightful due,
02:26yet Lucas is not worthy of the same?
02:28A worthless beggar's gift, and you treat it like a treasure.
02:31How ignorant.
02:32You want the pendant?
02:34Very well.
02:36But you must sever all ties with the Sterlings.
02:39You!
02:42Father, will you truly indulge Josephine's audacity?
02:47Am I not also your daughter?
02:50You insisted on marrying a beggar,
02:52bringing shame upon the Sterling family.
02:54You are unworthy to be my daughter.
02:56From this day forth, I have only one daughter.
02:59Josephine!
03:07For the rest of my life,
03:08I seek only to be with one whose true heart,
03:11even if I must live on plain fare.
03:13It is better than enduring cold disdain in the Sterlings,
03:17since that's the case.
03:28I, Evelyn Sterling, sever all ties with the Sterling family.
03:32We are henceforth strangers.
03:44Oh, for the sake of a worthless beggar.
03:48You would sever ties with us?
03:50Melissa, it is fortunate we never placed our hopes in you.
03:56Is that not what Father has always thought as well?
03:58Why should I remain here if only to be an eyesore to him?
04:02Hold it.
04:04Now that you wish to leave, I fear it is too late.
04:07Guards!
04:09Bring the burning charcoal from the kitchen.
04:11Scatter them across the floor!
04:14What are you trying to do?
04:18Evelyn!
04:19I'm sorry, I'm late.
04:23Josephine.
04:24Josephine.
04:26I didn't lose your jade pendant.
04:33Did they say it was his majesty?
04:35How could it be him?
04:36The beggar is dressed in such luxurious robes.
04:39And those men, are they the Imperial Guard?
04:42Why would they take orders from a beggar?
04:43Mother, I heard that filthy beggar's brother once served in the palace.
04:46Isn't it natural for him to have procured some robes?
04:48That wretched beggar, he suffered humiliation last time and now has come to regain his dignity?
04:53Huh, what a joke.
04:54A mere beggar daring to put on an act in the Sterling Estate.
04:58Sister, look at the fine husband you've chosen.
05:01Useless is one thing, but to be so audacious as to steal from the Imperial Palace?
05:04If his majesty were to find out, do you really believe you would be spared?
05:08Defiant fools.
05:09You're doomed!
05:12You, what do you think you're doing?
05:14Evelyn, come with me.
05:17Evelyn, what's wrong?
05:27Who did this?
05:29Lucas.
05:37Yes, it was me.
05:38I was only trying to help my sister.
05:40Who'd have thought that just for a worthless piece of jade,
05:42she would actually walk barefoot across the burning charcoal?
05:45I do wonder what's in that head of hers.
05:46Such a fool.
05:47Silence!
05:48And who do you think you are, to dare raise your voice before me?
05:52I'm insulting her because she married a worthless man.
05:56I am a noble lady with the Montagues.
05:58You are nothing but insects if I were to kill you here and now you ought to kneel and thank
06:01me for it!
06:04Let's see how much longer you can keep this charade.
06:07Guards!
06:07Seize this filthy beggar and Evelyn Sterling!
06:10Please!
06:14How dare you...
06:16Humiliate my lady!
06:18Seize them!
06:22How dare you!
06:23I am Lady Josephine Montague!
06:28Husband, save me!
06:29You filthy beggar!
06:30You filthy beggar!
06:30Guards!
06:30Whoever kills him for me, I shall reward him with ten tails of gold!
06:37Insolent wretch!
06:38Lord Montague is of royal lineage!
06:39If you dare lay a hand on him, you shall make an enemy of the entire Montague family!
06:44And what of it?
06:45Anyone who dares harm my lady shall have only one fate.
06:48Death!
06:52You filthy beggar!
06:53You're taking this act too far!
06:55Before I lose my temper, release me at once!
06:58I might just spare your life!
06:59You have tormented Evelyn to such a wretched state!
07:02Press their faces!
07:03Straight into the burning charcoal!
07:09Josephine!
07:10Father!
07:10Please save me!
07:12Stop!
07:13What's the judicial court arise?
07:14You are doomed!
07:16All right.
07:17My brother is an official of the Imperial Court.
07:20Do you really think you'll walk away alive?
07:22I would like to see if the judicial court would tolerate this.
07:28Carry on!
07:30Help!
07:30Help!
07:32Josephine!
07:33You wretched fool!
07:34If you wish to die, do not drag the Sterling family down with you!
07:38Stop!
07:39Brother!
07:40Brother, save me!
07:46Help!
07:50Who is harming my brother?
07:58The Imperial Secret Guards.
08:00Why are they here?
08:01Yes.
08:02I summoned them.
08:03That voice.
08:05Could it be?
08:07Your Majesty!
08:09Your Majesty?
08:13The Emperor?
08:15How could this filthy beggar...
08:17Brother, don't let this filthy beggar fool you.
08:20These clothes he's wearing are all stolen from the Imperial Palace.
08:23All these people were bribed by him with a huge sum of money.
08:25That's right.
08:26You're new to this office.
08:27It's normal to get the wrong person.
08:28But he really is just a filthy beggar.
08:30He can't possibly be the Emperor.
08:31That's true.
08:32The Emperor couldn't possibly be here.
08:35Wretched girl!
08:36Look at the fine husband you've chosen!
08:38You've offended Lord Montague!
08:40I'll say how you plan to end this!
08:42My lord!
08:43He must have held justice for us!
08:45This filthy beggar, an Evelyn Sterling!
08:48They're defied human ethics even intended to murder us!
08:52Outrageous!
08:53At the foot of the Imperial City, how could you act so brazenly?
08:56Guards, take them to the dungeon of Judicial Court!
08:59Interrogate and torture!
09:00Wait!
09:01What else do you have to say?
09:04Since when was the position of Lord Justice Deputy yours to assume?
09:08You filthy beggar!
09:10How could you possibly know about court appointments?
09:12My brother was appointed by the Empress Dowager herself!
09:14What now?
09:15Regret finally sinking in!
09:17Even the Empress Dowager was deceived!
09:20Your Montague family truly is impressive!
09:26Empress Dowager, please speak up for your subject!
09:29His Majesty outside the palace married the eldest daughter of the Sterling family!
09:32What?
09:32Because of that woman, His Majesty even lashed out at me!
09:34You said His Majesty married another woman outside the palace?
09:38Guards!
09:38Prepare the Sidon!
09:44She may be just a nice person!
09:53Miss Evelyn, please come with me!
09:57Go ahead!
10:12You, clean all of these thoroughly!
10:16You and I both work at the Imperial Household Bureau.
10:18The tasks are assigned in advance.
10:20Why should I be the one to do your work?
10:22You've got the nerve to ask?
10:24It's your fault that I ended up cleaning the toilet!
10:26Some people must have used certain means to land a post here,
10:28and somehow even earned Man Langston's favor.
10:30She got all the easiest work assigned to you!
10:36Morning Dew?
10:38Everyone heard it!
10:39I'm not making it up!
10:40Why is Madam Williams always picking on me?
10:43Madam Williams already showed you mercy by not punishing you for the theft last time.
10:47All she asked was for you to collect the Morning Dew.
10:48You should be grateful!
10:50The pendant wasn't stolen at all!
10:51Stop bossily accusing me!
10:52Not stolen!
10:53Are you saying His Majesty gave it to you himself?
10:55You-
11:05The night air is damp with dew.
11:07I'm going inside to get a blanket.
11:08Is that not allowed?
11:09Ha!
11:10What arrogance!
11:11This is the Imperial Palace.
11:12There's no such thing as yours or mine.
11:14Don't think that because Man Langston protects you,
11:15you can do whatever you want.
11:18Who said you could come in?
11:20Move aside!
11:28Evelyn!
11:31Evelyn, are you alright?
11:34Who did this?
11:36Victor Langley?
11:38Could it be that he is...
11:40You want to die?
11:43You're the Emperor?
11:44You're the Emperor.
11:45You're the Emperor.
11:47You're the Emperor.
11:48You're the Emperor.
11:49You're the Emperor.
11:50You're the Emperor.
11:51You're the Emperor.
11:51You're the Emperor.
