04:45i know exactly what you are going to say
04:48listen
04:49the royal consort selection is held today
04:51both the prince of wales and queen victoria will attend in person
04:55if word gets out that the heir of the hamilton family committed such a heinous crime of drugging and assault
04:59and the thorn family covered up evidence to protect him
05:01we will become more than just a laughing stock across london
05:03we will be utterly destroyed
05:05your title of earl
05:06your valued seat in the cabinet
05:07everything will be revoked by the queen
05:11but think differently
05:12if our family takes the initiative and brings the criminal to justice
05:16then the thorn family will be seen as loyal subjects who uphold her majesty's laws even under strict curfew
05:22it will be a perfect tale to go down in history
05:26my lord
05:27men from scotland short have arrived
05:29inspector arthur rowe is leading the team
05:33show the inspector in
05:35the hamiltons
05:36three years ago they framed my father and let him die in newgate prison
05:40i have waited for this opening for three long years
05:42inspector the thorn household reported the second young lady has been abducted the situation is complicated
05:46just the usual tricks of the nobles
05:48let's go take a look
05:49no hysterics
05:50no tears this miss thorn is far too calm
05:54mrs lead thorn i am inspector arthur rowe from scotland yard
05:57inspector rowe thank you for coming late at night
05:59i will show you the scene
06:00the cordial has an odd odour
06:02these are signs of a struggle and dragging
06:04scuff marks left by hard objects
06:05the culprit escaped through this window
06:07you are extraordinarily calm
06:08hardly the demeanor of a delicate noble lady who has just faced mortal danger
06:11panic changes nothing
06:12rather than weeping i would sooner see the criminal hang
06:15inspector the culprit seems to have dropped something
06:18do you recognize this miss thorn
06:20i saw an identical one at villic pembroke's ball last month
06:23on whom
06:23on felix ashworth the heir of the hamilton family
06:26though i might be mistaken
06:29she is not mistaken
06:30we both know it
06:32this is a perfect trap
06:34handed right to me
06:37seal off hamilton manor
06:39not so much as a sparrow takes wing from these grounds
06:42send forth the coroner post haste
06:48inspector the overnight report from the public alitic laboratory
06:51rush through urgently
06:54residue in the wine glass contains high concentration chloroform
06:57enough to keep an adult woman unconscious for over six hours
06:59such dosage may trigger respiratory
07:01this wine was brought to me by my sister cecilie herself
07:05she lied and said she brewed it with her own hands
07:07too flawless
07:08every tear
07:09every pre-arranged accusation
07:11she is making use of me
07:12yet
07:12i am exactly in need of this knife
07:14your two accomplices have fully confessed
07:16all promises from cecily were nothing but a scam
07:18will you keep hiding
07:19and condemn yourself to felony charges
07:21i only followed orders
07:22miss cecily forced me to pass word to felix
07:25i watched her pour the drug into the sweet wine with my own eyes
07:28i truly knew nothing else
07:30miss thunch
07:32we hold physical evidence

07:43that is excellent news inspector
07:44one matter to confirm
07:46you stated cecily's left the room temporarily
07:48and you returned in time to spot the abductor escaping through the window
07:51that is correct
07:55she lied
07:56she personally handed her sister over to that brute
07:59this woman is as cold and calculating as a ruthless politician
08:03and i admire it

09:18they already have solid evidence and suspects in custody
09:20as for my family's standing
09:22her majesty will make her own wise judgment

09:33we've heard endless rumors about you since early morning
09:35i expect so your highness
09:36most of them seem to work entirely in your favor
09:38i would never presume to say so myself
09:40you are most intriguing
10:04dancing is concluded
10:07all candidates tidy your appearance and line up for her majesty's inspection in the audience
10:17hollow bows greedy eyes hidden plots nothing but shallow pretentious fools
10:32this is a trial of composure
10:33screaming or weeping right now would cost me everything
10:39no harm done
10:40be more careful on your way back
10:44miss isolette thorne
10:45keep her
10:46appoint her as senior lady in waitering immediately

11:18you lie
11:18you envied your sister and came on to me of your own free will
11:21your confession proves you leaked the manor's security details
11:25you lowborn bastard
11:26you dare frame my air with such despicable tricks
11:29you pack of lying vipers
11:30you promised me advancement
11:31now you want to throw me under the carriage
11:35silence
11:36the petitioner miss isolo thorne may now address the court
11:40cecily thorne obtained restricted chloroform to incapitate me
11:43and passed over the household's defensive intelligence to felix in exchange for court favor
11:47all evidence and witness statements filed before this court confirm every detail
11:51i have but one question for mr ashworth
11:55if your affection for miss cecily was genuine
11:59why did you abandon her like trash on the streets of piccadilly
12:09read out the verdict
12:11by her majesty's royal decree judgment is passed on the hamilton scandal case as follows
12:16felix ashburn is disinherited from all hamilton succession rights
12:19confined permanently to the family's country estate
12:21and banned from london and all royal jurisdictions in perpetuity
12:26cecily thorne shall forfeit her family name and all noble privileges placed under royal restraining order to live alongside felix
12:32in lifelong rural confinement
12:33neither may leave the estate without dual approval from the crown and scotland yard
12:36i will not be trapped with this useless man
12:38let me go i'd rather die
12:42are you satisfied
12:44you ruined your sister and dragged our centuries-old family honor into filth
12:48my lord empty reputation cannot prop up a decaying household
12:50if you truly valued your dignity you would never have allowed a greedy illegitimate daughter to poison me under your
12:55own roof
12:57you are a cold-blooded monster thank you for the compliment
13:00in dog-eat-dog london monsters outlive the dead
13:02the false affection of my blood family was torn to pieces in my past life
13:05i need no weak and selfish father from today onward i walk only by my own strength
13:11the hamilton household hid far more than a fallen insignia
13:14these ledgers were smuggled out by a distant clan member to bypass noble privilege protection
13:18for ten years they've systematically embezzled funds
13:22withheld servants wages and erected tenants without compensation
13:25rotten to the core
13:26there is far more
13:27look at these private correspondents between the marquee and colonial trading firms
13:31in the eyes of the queen's legal counsel these financial arrangements amount to treasonous incibitation
13:36exactly
13:37what will you do with them
13:38this is the ultimate weapon to ruin their house entirely
13:41i leave them to you
13:42using the queen's preliminary temporary inspection warrant
13:45submit all evidence directly to the royal and parliamentary inspection committee in scotland yard's official name
13:50it is time to strip their ancestral privileges from the empire's register
13:53it will be my pleasure
14:16miss this letter is posted from thorn manor it is written by the earl
14:23miss this letter is posted from thorn manor it is written by the earl
14:53they suddenly remember they have a daughter like me
14:54a clumsy vicious ploy she aims to ruin me with noble underhanded trick
15:01lila instruct servants to set nameplates strictly per this list no single alteration permitted
15:07as you command miss
15:18is this how the british empire treats france an unforgivable national insult
15:28is this how the british empire is written by the world
15:51so the front of the world is written by the
15:58and behind you are the stars and the marine roads of the world.
16:00This Sige symbolizes France.
16:03Timoners inconcourgeable of the European European roads.
16:05We do not judge the honors by the height of the chairs.
16:08The British Empire honors you with a unique place of Timoners.
16:12Magnifique reasoning, Mrs. Fern.
16:14Your spirit and your grace surpass all the roses of Paris
16:16to our future commercial agreements.
16:18Health!
16:23A masterful interpretation of the Helmsman's seat.
16:25Even the shrewiest diplomats would applaud your wit.
16:28Your Highness flatters me.
16:30It was merely a desperate improvisation to save myself from ruin.
16:33You were never merely surviving, Isolette.
16:35You relish outmaneuvering them,
16:37turning those conceded nobles into up to fools.
16:43Duke Cavendish will submit an official impeachment
16:45and against you to Her Majesty first thing tomorrow morning.
16:49Your Majesty, the Thorn household is tainted by scandal.
16:52This disgraced noble's daughter fooled foreign envoys
16:55with cunning sufferer at the state dinner,
16:56overstepping her official bounds.
16:58A scheming woman like her, staying beside Your Majesty,
17:00will bring ruin to the British Empire.
17:03After discussion with cabinet ministers,
17:05Princess of Denmark is the ideal bride for the Prince of Wales.
17:08To safeguard royal dignity,
17:09we beg Your Majesty to dismiss Isoleth from court at once.
17:14The Duke claims you are crafty and balicious, Miss Thorn.
17:18The Empire needs no useless blank paper,
17:20yet neither will it keep a dull blade that cuts its own master.
17:24Prove you deserve your place here.
17:29As you command, Your Majesty.
17:32My foes have risen from petty lobel girls to powerful cabinet dukes.
17:36This is an all-or-nothing power struggle.
17:38Layla, leave via the secret side exit.
17:41Contact Inspector Arthur Roo immediately.
17:42Use my royal inspection warrant to access confidential official archives.
17:46The Duke has overseen army and navy funding appropriations for 12 years.
17:48I need every file recording abnormal fund flows under his name.
17:50Understood, Miss.
17:58Miss, Inspector Roo retrieved all confidential records per your royal warrant.
18:02Everything you requested is inside.
18:04Tens of thousands of pounds in unexplained gaps.
18:07So they are the real parasites straining the royal treasury.
18:10Shall we submit these documents directly to Her Majesty?
18:13Simply handing evidence to the Queen would only make me a common informer.
18:16What Her Majesty values is not blind loyalty, but capable political tactics.
18:20To top a towering noble, never hack its trank.
18:23Poison its hidden roots instead.
18:26Simply handing evidence to the Queen would only make me a common informer.
18:28What Her Majesty values is not blind loyalty, but capable political tactics.
18:33To top a towering noble, never hack its trank.
18:36Poison its hidden roots instead.
18:41Your tea party is elegant, Miss Thorne, yet cabinet affairs keep us occupied.
18:45We can only stay a short while.
18:47Naturally, my Lord Billet.
18:48The lumber procurement for HMS Royal Ark at Porchmas Dockcard surely demands all your attention.
18:53Royal Navy business is far beyond a lady-in-waiting's concern.
18:56I know nothing of shipbuilding, but I can count.
18:58All proof is laid right here.
19:00Fifteen thousand pounds worth of premium Indian teak through a private dock at Southampton,
19:03yet officially recorded as low-grade Scottish ply in value at merely three thousand pounds.
19:07One wonders where the missing twelve thousand vanished.
19:10Perhaps carried on coastal winds into the Duke Cavendale's newly built West End townhouse.
19:14And you, Lord Earl.
19:16Thirty thousand pounds allocated for winter uniforms for troops stationed in the Krymos
19:20bore the signature of your wife's nephew last fiscal year.
19:22I've heard countless soldiers perished from bitter cold at the front.
19:25Does the Parisian man and your nephew Purchase stay warm enough through harsh winters?
19:29You slander me outright!
19:31Whether it is slander or truth is fully documented within Scotland Yard's classified archives
19:35with verified excerpts in my possession.
19:38Her Majesty tossed that impeachment writ to me, a clear sign she has entrusted me the authority
19:42to root out Treasury and Mezzler's.
19:44With complete evidence in hand, I may submit the case to Parliamentary Inspection Committee
19:48any time.
19:49Duke Cavalish may deliver impasse speeches before the throne.
19:52Yet you three will bear all punishment when judicial judgment falls.
19:56The tea has gone cold, gentlemen.
19:58You may take your leave.
19:59I happen to have a poor memory.
20:01Should several names vanish from that impeachment menu by tomorrow morning, all these tedious
20:04financial figures may slip entirely from my mind.
20:09Cowardly turnstrikes!
20:10All of you useless fools!
20:13If legal means cannot drive her from court, erase her from this world entirely.
20:17Eliminate any backer shielding her as well.
20:19The audit investigation must never reach my household.
20:24Reborn from the brink of death, I've grown sensitive to the stench of mortal danger.
20:27This seemingly impenetrable royal hunt is shrouded in uncary oddities.
20:31These hands do not belong to stable attendants.
20:33They are fugitives who fight in underground rings and carry blades for blood money.
20:37The girth and stuller will snap the moment the stallion sprints into the thick woods.
20:40A suicidal ploy.
20:42Caunted by irreputable corruption evidence, Duke Cavalish would kill the prince to reshape
20:45the whole power structure.
20:45Drop your silk handkerchief, then slip away to find Inspector Roho on perimeter guard.
20:48Tell him mad dogs lurk in the net.
20:50Seal all exits without waiting for higher approval.
20:53Oh dear, the wind is really strong.
20:55I'm going to fetch my cloak.
20:58Once this hunt ends, I shall present you something vital, tied to both my royal future and yours.
21:04Your Highness, your state is ready.
21:14Protect his royal highness!
21:15Seize him!
21:16Inspect the horse harness at once!
21:21Scotland Yard!
21:22All suspects under arrest!
21:31Miss Thorne, are you unharmed?
21:33I'm quite well, Inspector.
21:34Search their persons for evidence to present to Her Majesty.
21:42Exclusive stag decree of the Cavendish family.
21:50What explanation have you left, Duke?
21:52Miss Thorne, you bear grudges against my daughter Evelyn, yet you dare frame a hereditary
21:57perv for capital crimes over a random trinket!
21:59A random trinket?
22:01What if we had this?
22:03Your Majesty, these are full embezzlement accounts of the Cavendish family over five years,
22:07with his signed vouchers attached already submitted to Parliament Inspection Committee.
22:10Assassination Treasury will be tried in the House of Law's Peer Court.
22:14Confiscate implicated furs and illicit assets!
22:17Strip his noble title!
22:18Confine the Chief Club to Royal Manor for lifelong detention!
22:24Confine the Chief Club to Royal Manor for lifelong detention!
22:25All of you, leave us.
22:33This ring is my private collection, fully filed and registered in Royal Jewelry Archives,
22:38kept in storage for far too long.
22:41To sustain the Empire's glory, we need no innocent lambs.
22:44We require a shrewd, resolute strategist who uncovers hypocrisy and brings assassins and corrupt
22:51nobles to justice amid peril.
22:55Isled, you have not only saved my life but also stolen my whole heart.
22:59Marry me and become the future Mister of this Empire.
23:06As you wish, Your Highness.
23:08Very well.
23:10Starting tomorrow, the whole Empire shall prepare for this unprecedented royal wedding.
23:17Miss, all transfer procedures for half-revenue of Thorn Manor based on the old contract have been finished.
23:23File it for archiving.
23:25Understood, Miss.
23:29The game is over.
23:34Do you swear to remain faithful to one another, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?
23:40I do.
23:41I do.
23:47Her Majesty Queen Victoria arrives.
23:51You have done excellently.
23:53You've fulfilled the true purpose of the Royal Selection.
23:56The Empire needs steady hands to secure order and secure the Royal Line.
24:00By Royal Warrant, you are awarded the Royal Victorian Order,
24:05with formal incitation to be held on a designated date.
24:09I am grateful for Your Majesty's Grace.
24:13I shall take my leave.
24:15I rose from the mild and plotted every step.
24:18No longer anyone's pawn.
24:21All moves on this chessboard rest under my control.
