00:20What is it, Flora? Is something on my face?
00:22No, my lady. It is only... You seem different now.
00:26No matter how much I change, I am still your lady.
00:32Bring me pen and paper.
00:46Get everything on this list for me, as quickly as you can.
00:49My lady, why do you need surgical tools?
00:51Do not ask. Just do as I say.
00:55Take the small path by the cottages, and make sure no one sees you.
01:03Lilith! What are you doing here?
01:13I need the body of a newborn who died at birth. Quickly.
01:21What do you want it for?
01:26That is none of your concern.
01:28Do not worry. Once I secure my place as Duchess, that Duke will die soon enough.
01:34And when he does, the whole estate will be ours.
01:38But then you will be a Duchess. And I will still be nothing. You will forget me.
01:44Never. This is proof that I love you.
02:02Don't worry. The Duke and Duchess won't live long.
02:20My lady, I took the small path like you told me, and I saw Miss Lilith with a man by
02:25the cottages.
02:26And I hurt her. She is planning to get rid of both you and the Duke.
02:32Lilith, I never cared to dirty my hands with your filth.
02:35But, but if you want to destroy me, then do not blame me for destroying you first.
02:49I need a private room. No one is to disturb me. I am about to perform surgery.
02:55And I need a trustworthy nun to assist me.
03:01Surgery? The Duke would never allow such a thing.
03:05Your Grace, you should go elsewhere.
03:09Father, do not refuse me so quickly. Miss Lilith was never pregnant.
03:13Is that the truth?
03:16I would never lie in the house of God.
03:22Father, if Miss Lilith brings in a body, will you have a body?
03:25Will you register it?
03:26If you do, you dishonor the Lord.
03:28If you do not, you risk offending the Duke and losing his support.
03:32But I can help you, Father.
03:34I can make this chapel known far and wide.
03:37My father is a prince.
03:39Compared to him, the Duke is nothing.
03:41Your Grace, what would you have me do?
03:49Find out who Lilith has been meeting in secret.
03:53If you can, bring me proof.
04:00This scar stayed with her for twenty years.
04:03So did the Duke's disgust.
04:07Today, I cut this scar away with my own hands.
04:11From this moment on, she and I are both reborn.
04:16Father, I have brought the child's body.
04:19Please enter it into the register at once.
04:22Right on cue.
04:34Your Grace, Father DiMio refuses to register our child.
04:39Must our child be denied even a resting place?
04:42Father DiMiano, register the child at once.
04:46Follow the proper process.
04:48Duchess, the child's body is here now.
04:51When you will pray for him and repent for your sin?
04:54My poor child from my last life.
04:57May your next life be kinder than this one.
04:59May God protect you.
05:01If your Grace wants everything done by the rules,
05:04then let us speak of the rules properly.
05:07What is there to discuss?
05:09Apologize to Lilith and spend the night repenting!
05:13Go on, Elowyn.
05:14Take the blame for what never existed.
05:19Your Grace, Miss Lilith, please remain calm.
05:23According to church custom and the law of Victoria,
05:28before an infant who died young may be entered into the parish register,
05:32the body must first be examined,
05:35the cause of death and time of death confirmed,
05:38and a death certificate issued by a licensed physician.
05:42Only then may the process continue.
05:45This rule cannot be broken.
05:48Miss Lilith, where is the death certificate?
05:51Can you provide the time of death?
05:54The birth record?
05:59Where is the death certificate?
06:01Answer me!
06:02Since this child supposedly died, I have not even seen him once.
06:06What are you hiding?
06:08I was heartbroken.
06:10I forgot to call the doctor.
06:12Your Grace, please.
06:14You must believe me!
06:16You cannot show proof because this is not your child with the Duke.
06:20It is just a body you found somewhere else.
06:25You lied to me?!
06:30This concerns the bloodline of House Blackthorn.
06:33If such a record were entered unlawfully, the entire family would be shamed.
06:38Your Grace, if I remember correctly, it was my father who secured your title.
06:43And House Blackthorn does not end with your branch alone, does it?
06:48No one speaks of what happened here today!
06:51No one!
06:52Lilith, how does it feel, being thrown away?
06:57And this is only the beginning.
06:59No!
07:00No!
07:01No!
07:03No!
07:05No!
07:05No!
07:07No!
07:08No!
07:08No!
07:09No!
07:10No!
07:10No!
07:11No!
07:13No!
07:14No!
07:16No!
07:17No!
07:18No!
07:22Is the woman in white the Duchess?
07:24Yes.
07:26I heard she has a scar on her face.
07:28They say she's horribly ugly.
07:31Today's pastries were made by our new French chef.
07:34Please, everyone.
07:35Do try them.
07:41Your Grace.
07:44The weather is lovely today.
07:45Why not take off your veil and enjoy it with the rest of us?
07:48I'm used to wearing it.
07:50Or do you think you're above the rest of us?
07:52You won't even show your face.
08:04Oh!
08:05You're great.
08:06I didn't mean to do that.
08:08You won't blame me, will you?
08:11My God, Elephant!
08:12Let's see how you hold your head up now.
08:15Go back to being that pathetic coward under my heel.
08:21You're beautiful!
08:23Like a fairy stepped out of a painting!
08:35No!
08:36That's impossible!
08:44Why are you so nervous around me?
08:45Feeling guilty about something?
08:48No.
08:49Of course not.
08:56Miss Lilith.
08:57There was a flower petal on your shoulder.
09:00I was only helping you remove it.
09:02Surely you don't mind?
09:07Go on, Lilith.
09:09Enjoy my special powder.
09:11This will be an afternoon you never forget.
09:25Miss Lilith.
09:26Are you alright?
09:28Your face is flushed.
09:30It's so, so itchy.
09:32I can't bear it.
09:38So hot.
09:39So very hot.
09:41I need...
09:42Miss Lilith.
09:43What's wrong with you?
09:44Someone hold her back.
09:48Princess.
09:49I want it so badly.
09:51Help!
09:52Help!
09:54Help!
09:58Help!
09:58Help!
09:59Help!
10:09Your majesty, the princess isn't breathing.
10:12The Duchess killed her.
10:13She's one of them.
10:15She only pretended to treat the princess so she could finish the job.
10:18This is all my fault. I should have stopped her.
10:22If Sebastian had treated the princess instead, none of this would have happened.
10:27She ran because she knows what she's done.
10:30Alaric! Where is your daughter?
10:32Your Majesty, this is treason.
10:36Seal the palace, find the Duchess, and search House Valamont.
10:41Who says I've done anything wrong?
10:46Your Grace, thank God you're back. Hurry, kneel and beg His Majesty's forgiveness.
10:51The princess is already gone.
10:55Confess now, and he may still show mercy.
10:58Enough. If the princess dies because you kept delaying treatment,
11:03after the way you made a spectacle of yourself this afternoon,
11:07the whole capital is talking. Save your tears.
11:17Damn it. Just like I thought. Pneumothorix.
11:26Duchess, what are you doing to the princess? Guards!
11:29Touch me and regret it. Waste one more second and she really will die.
11:44Your Grace, please! Send for the family doctor!
11:50My lady is with child and burning with fever.
11:55If this goes on, she will die. I beg you!
12:08Darling, what's all that noise outside?
12:11Who else? Your dear Duchess.
12:15Don't mention her.
12:17I married her only for her father's sake.
12:21Prince Alaric owes my parents a blood debt, and his daughter shall repay it.
12:25She is still your lawful wife, and carries your child in her belly.
12:31Child? She drugged me and forced that child on me.
12:35I wish I had never touched her.
12:37The only woman fit to bear my children is you.
12:43Your Grace, let me deal with her.
12:59Please tell His Grace my lady needs a doctor at once!
13:05You want a doctor? Then go find one yourselves.
13:09In a storm like this? You would send us out alone?
13:17The Duke said,
13:19If you had not drugged him, he never would have touched you.
13:23Just looking at your face makes him sick.
13:26And one more thing.
13:27I was never pregnant a year ago.
13:30You knelt in that chapel all night for a child that never even existed.
13:33You are dying, aren't you?
13:36When you die, he will marry me.
13:55My lady!
14:05Kale, I didn't know you despised me this much.
14:10But I won't cling to you anymore.
14:13I have no strength left.
14:16My lady! My lady!
14:19Surgery Queen, where the hell are you? The party's waiting on you.
14:22That last surgery took 12 hours. I'm dead tired.
14:26I heard about it. The impossible case, right?
14:29In a field ruled by men, you became the best surgeon of them all.
14:32I seriously worship you.
14:44Wait, did I travel to the past?
14:46This feels like the memory of the original owner of this body before she died.
14:52My child!
14:53May this little soul rest in peace and find eternal joy in heaven.
14:57The service is complete.
14:59I remember now.
15:01This is one year before the original owner's death.
15:04The day Lilith faked her pregnancy and framed her for causing the miscarriage.
15:08In her last life, her husband forced her to kneel all night and pray for a child that never even
15:14existed.
15:16Since I've taken over her body, I'll live her life properly.
15:21And I'll make every last one of them pay.
15:23Elevin.
15:24The donation book is here. Sign your name.
15:26You will set up a mass fund for this child.
15:28And from this day on, you will come to this chapel every month to pray for him.
15:33Do not cry.
15:34We can have another child.
15:38Tonight, you will kneel here.
15:41Pray for that child's soul.
15:42And repent for what you have done.
15:46In the house of God, forcing your lawful wife to repent for an infant who has never entered into the
15:51parish register goes against church rule.
15:54Duchess, if you do not want to pray for my child, you can simply say so.
16:00My child never even had the chance to be born.
16:02But then again, what kindness could I expect from the daughter of a man drenched in blood?
16:12Elowen, enough.
16:14Stop making a scene.
16:16I will deal with you outside.
16:20Do not touch me.
16:22You disgust me.
16:32I will not sign that.
16:33If there is nothing else, I am leaving.
16:40Is this another one of your games?
16:42Let me make this clear.
16:43Your father killed my parents.
16:45I will never forgive you.
16:47Never!
16:51This is supposedly the funeral of your mistress's unborn child.
16:56And yet all you can think about is whether your wife wants your attention.
17:03And you, Miss Lilith, were you ever pregnant at all?
17:14What nonsense are you speaking?
17:17Is this how Prince Alaric raised his daughter?
17:19To defy her husband before God?
17:21Instead of lecturing me on obedience, your grace,
17:25perhaps you should ask Miss Lilith where the child's body is.
17:30Duchess, what are you saying?
17:33Do you truly think I would lie about my own child?
17:35This is Saint Candle Chapel.
17:38The only woman here with the right to speak
17:40is the lawful Duchess of Blackthorne.
17:44A mistress with no place in the parish has no right to interrupt me.
17:48So tell me Lilith, where is the child's body?
17:50Why has no one ever seen it?
17:52Church law is clear.
17:54Even an unborn child must be entered into the parish record
17:57and witnessed by a priest before burial.
18:00If you want me to kneel here and pray, then show me the body.
18:04Father Damaso, bring the register.
18:07As Duchess, I have every right to know this child's record
18:11and where the body is.
18:12Your grace, it seems this child never existed.
18:19Your grace, this was our first child.
18:25I could not bear to let him go.
18:27That is why I did not ask Father Damaniel to register him.
18:31Then when the body is properly brought here and properly entered, I will come and pray.
18:36Until you know the truth, do not use a false charge to humiliate your lawful wife.
18:46Lilith, were you lying to me?
18:49Your grace, do you doubt me too?
18:52I see now. In your heart, I mean less than a few words from the Duchess.
18:56Of course, I am only a mistress. I have no title, no name.
19:03Elowen. One day that title will be mine. Just wait.
19:17My lady, I found out. Lilith's lover is named James.
19:25Good.
19:32This is my scar salve. It helps heal and fade scars.
19:36Yes, my lady. I'll have it tested at once and get everything ready for the free clinic.
19:44You lied to me for six whole months.
19:48You made House Blackthorn a joke.
19:52I know I was wrong. I was just so afraid of losing you. I was foolish.
20:01I know my words mean nothing now, so let me prove my love another way.
20:19Your grace, I heard Princess Ariana is hosting a tea in a few days.
20:25Will the Duchess be there?
20:28Why are you bringing her up now?
20:34I know I have no place there, but...
20:38I want to apologize to you.
20:41Fine. You'll go as my distant cousin. Dress well. Do not embarrass me.
20:48Elowen, at the princess's tea, I'll tear off your veil in front of everyone and make them all see that
20:55ugly face.
21:04My lady, you're so beautiful. Like a goddess.
21:09Tomorrow is Princess Ariana's tea.
21:12I want the whole capital to see this.
21:16The Duchess of Blackthorn was never some weak woman hiding behind a veil.
21:25What is wrong with Miss Lilith? Even for a shameless woman, this is quite a scene to make in public.
21:33Get this shameless, vulgar woman out of here. She is never to attend one of my gatherings again.
21:49It seems all those rumors about you were lies. They said you were an ugly, lovesick fool.
21:55But actually, you are dazzling. Thank you, Your Highness.
22:08Everyone, stay calm. Guards, seal off the estate. Protect the princess.
22:19Ariana Valimum, the first heir to the kingdom. Today marks your death.
22:23I'm sorry!
22:41Ariana, can you hear me?
22:47Stop!
22:49What do you think you're doing?
22:53What do you think you're doing?
22:56Elven!
22:57What are you doing?
22:59House Blackthorn will go down with you!
23:02Hold on.
23:03Is that Elowen?
23:04Where is her scar?
23:05Why she becomes so pretty?
23:07The princess was hit by an arrow.
23:09It has to come out now!
23:12Please, all of you, save the princess!
23:21You cannot pull that arrow out here.
23:23It hit her in the right chest.
23:25The tip is too close to the subclavial artery.
23:29Idiot.
23:30Even I couldn't save her.
23:32Let her try.
23:33If the princess dies, it will all fall on her.
23:36If this lady insists on treat the princess herself, then let her.
23:40I am still here.
23:42If she fails, I will step in.
23:56What is going on?
23:57What happened to my daughter?
23:59Your Majesty, the Duchess insisted on treating the princess herself.
24:03None of us could stop her.
24:04Even physician Sebastian was forced aside.
24:08Take the princess inside.
24:10She needs surgery now.
24:11Stop!
24:12And what exactly are you doing here?
24:14You are a Duchess, not a physician.
24:18Your Majesty, I can save the princess.
24:21I can keep her alive.
24:25Your Majesty, think carefully.
24:27A Duchess who has never practiced medicine dares to speak like this?
24:31The princess is royal blood.
24:33Her life is not something to gamble with.
24:38Your Majesty, if my daughter cannot save the princess,
24:41I will surrender every title and office I hold.
24:45I will take my family back to our lands and never set foot in the capital again.
24:51Take the princess inside.
24:53If you fail, you will pay with your life.
25:09Everyone out.
25:10Prepare a tourniquet, clean linen, a scalpel, forces, scissors, cat lid, needles, alcohol, anesthetic,
25:15and a clean change of clothes.
25:17Quickly!
25:19And what is that supposed to mean?
25:21Will our being here somehow ruin your little performance?
25:24This is basic medicine.
25:27Get out.
25:33Your Majesty.
25:34Get her whatever she needs.
25:57Why is it taking so long?
25:59Unless the Duchess can't save the princess at all.
26:16Your Majesty.
26:17She drove everyone out.
26:19She must be trying to harm the princess.
26:21Anything happens to Her Highness.
26:22None of us can bear the blame.
26:24Your Majesty, search the operating room now.
26:27She may not be acting alone.
26:28Her accomplice could still be trying to kill the princess.
26:31Lord Chancellor, what exactly do you mean by that?
26:50Princess is not breathing.
26:53This is bad.
26:54The princess...
27:04This is bad.
27:05The princess isn't breathing.
27:07Elwyn killed her!
27:26Stop checking only her nose.
27:28Watch her chest.
27:30Her lung collapsed.
27:31No breath at the nose doesn't mean she's dead.
27:34Lord Chancellor.
27:35The princess has barely made it through,
27:37and you're already trying to bury House Valamont with her.
27:39You're awfully impatient.
27:42I was only concerned for the princess.
27:44The Duchess is the one making a scene.
27:47Your Majesty.
27:47The princess is out of danger.
27:50I've treated the arrow wound,
27:52and the new Smothoa has been dealt with.
27:54She needs rest now,
27:55and close observation.
27:57I've already left the physician's detailed instructions
28:00for her treatment and medicine.
28:02If there is nothing else,
28:04I will take my leave.
28:06Not so fast, Duchess.
28:08You saved my daughter.
28:10Name your reward.
28:12Your Majesty, I ask for two things.
28:15First, grant me a medical house,
28:17so I may practice medicine openly and save lives.
28:21Elwyn, have you lost your mind?
28:24Women cannot study medicine,
28:26much less practice it.
28:30Your Majesty,
28:31Elwyn speaks for herself.
28:33She does not speak for House Blackthorn.
28:35Your Grace,
28:36what you did for the princess was admirable,
28:38but I must speak plainly.
28:40Women do not belong in public life.
28:42A woman's duty is to tend the home,
28:44serve her husband,
28:45and raise children,
28:46not stand before men with a blade in hand,
28:48diagnosing patients.
28:52What a narrow-minded thing to say.
28:55Elizabeth I ruled England as a woman.
28:59She was not hidden away.
29:01She did not depend on any man.
29:03She protected an entire kingdom.
29:06By your logic,
29:08was that great queen wrong as well?
29:13Well said.
29:14Your request is granted.
29:16As for the two of you,
29:17one is useless and the other is a liar.
29:20Sebastian,
29:21every royal medical title and office you hold is revoked.
29:24From this day on,
29:25you will never set foot in this palace again.
29:27Lilith,
29:28immediate revoke all aristocratic privileges
29:30you have enjoyed through excessive indulgence.
29:33Prohibit entry to the royal palace,
29:34royal estates,
29:35and all official social events.
29:37Your influence over the court is at an end.
29:48Everyone,
29:49listen up.
29:50Starting today,
29:51Holy Candle Chapel's charity clinic
29:53will treat wounds and fever free of charge.
29:56This medicine was made by the Duchess herself.
29:59It cleans wounds,
30:00stops infection,
30:01and helps them heal.
30:02Princess Ariana used it after the attack,
30:04and now she has fully recovered.
30:07My face was burned in a fire.
30:11I begged doctor after doctor for help,
30:13and all they told me was I should be grateful to be alive.
30:17But the Duchess refused to give up on me.
30:19She cleaned my wounds,
30:21treated me every day,
30:22and gave me a second life.
30:25Some doctors have skill but no heart.
30:27Some have heart but no skill.
30:30The Duchess has both.
30:34Step forward.
30:35The Duchess will see you herself,
30:37free of charge.
30:37Form a line.
30:38The Duchess will see everyone,
30:40one by one.
30:44Your name is James.
30:48Isn't it?
30:49Your Grace,
30:50I am James,
30:52a commoner.
30:53I greet you.
30:57I heard you've been standing outside
30:59for nearly two hours.
31:00The charity line is packed,
31:02yet you neither came forward
31:03for treatment nor left.
31:05You just stood there watching my maid.
31:07So tell me,
31:08did you come here to be treated?
31:10Or to watch us?
31:12No, Your Grace.
31:13It wasn't like that.
31:15I only heard your medical skill was remarkable,

31:34I did not dare come closer.
31:35I did not dare come closer.
31:35I did not dare come closer.
31:35I did not dare come closer.
