00:00:00Clara Shaw of the Miller family has shown exceptional virtue, diligence and grace.
00:00:04She is hereby granted the title of Grand Dame.
00:00:07I humbly accept this great honor.
00:00:09Lady Miller, accept the Imperial Edict.
00:00:19Murder! Somebody help!
00:00:22Help!
00:00:33Erika...
00:00:33Why?
00:00:35Don't call my name! You're not worthy!
00:00:38I...
00:00:39We're both daughters of the Shaw family! Why shouldn't you have a better life than I do?
00:00:43If only three years ago, the one who caught my rhino ball had been ammo!
00:00:46This wonderful life you covet is actually a total lie.
00:00:50Clara Shaw, go straight to hell!
00:01:01If I were given another chance, I would give up all this honor.
00:01:08Look at the time! Why are you still fast asleep?
00:01:10Honestly, Victor, all those wealthy lords heard our girls are choosing husbands and they've rushed over to catch the balls!
00:01:16But look, she's still sleeping! She has absolutely no manners at all!
00:01:19Let me tell you, when you and Erika throw your balls, you better pick carefully!
00:01:23Whoever marries best will be the bride of this family! Don't you disappoint me!
00:01:29Wasn't I just stabbed by a sword?
00:01:38I've been reborn! Back to three years ago!
00:01:41The exact date we choose our husbands!
00:01:44My lady, it's your turn to toss the ball!
00:01:49Erika Shaw...
00:01:51Clara...
00:01:52Let me throw mine first!
00:01:53In my past life, Erika tried everything to make me throw first, backing out every time!
00:01:58But now...
00:01:59It seems Erika was reborn too!
00:02:02Fine!
00:02:02You can go first!
00:02:04Over here! Toss it over here!
00:02:06Give it to me! Give it to me!
00:02:08Over here to me!
00:02:08Over right here! Give it to me!
00:02:09Please!
00:02:11Get out of my way! All of you get out of my way!
00:02:17In this life, the one marrying Amos will only be me!
00:02:24Give it to me! Give it to me!
00:02:25Give it to me! Give it to me!
00:02:26Give it to me!
00:02:27Look, Victor! The man who caught it is the Miller family's second son!
00:02:31It's him! It really is Lord Amos!
00:02:33The Millers are royal relatives! His older brother Henry was just made deputy chief justice!
00:02:39If the Shaw family allies with the Millers, we'll be tied to royalty too!
00:02:43Amos Miller...
00:02:44In this lifetime, I have finally changed my destiny!
00:02:47In three years, Amos Miller will be promoted, and I will become a noble grand dame!
00:02:52Oh, Erika Shaw, Erika Shaw...
00:02:54You schemed and plotted, completely unaware you just walked right into a wolf's den!
00:03:00Excellent! Excellent! Erika, you truly are the daughter I raised!
00:03:03You've made our family proud!
00:03:04You flatter me, Father! I'm only doing this for the good of our family!
00:03:07Once I become Lady Miller, I will always conduct myself with care and bring prosperity to our family!
00:03:13Clara, wouldn't you agree?
00:03:16You're quite fortunate. Of course I'm happy for you!
00:03:19Clara Shaw, your good fortune is now mine!
00:03:22In this life, I will never let you outshadow me again!
00:03:27Erika, look! It's Lord Amos! He can't take his eyes off you!
00:03:38Wait, isn't that...
00:03:41Your Majesty?
00:03:43Master, if the Empress Dowager fights out, you'll let the palace dress like this!
00:03:46Mother forces me to pick concubines daily, so I came out here for some peace.
00:03:49I'll take this chance to experience the lives of ordinary people.
00:03:52We always care for the people, but these clothes...
00:03:55These clothes may be torn, but they help me blend in.
00:03:57Do you really expect me to wear my robes while strolling the streets?
00:04:03Come here!
00:04:07Are you alright, Master? Watch where you're going, you filthy beggar!
00:04:10Hurry!
00:04:10Squireshaw's daughters are tossing balls for husbands. We'll miss it if we're late!
00:04:13For husbands? Let's go! Let's go have a look!
00:04:15In my past life, a filthy beggar caught my bridle ball, making me suffer terribly after I fled.
00:04:20Perfect! Now I'll let you taste the pain of being abandoned by family.
00:04:25Go on, do exactly as I said.
00:04:27Yes, Lady Erika.
00:04:28What are they up to?
00:04:29Now that our family has secured ties with the Millers, Clara's choice of husband cannot be any lesser.
00:04:35Mother, what are you saying? Clara has always been lucky, so she'd never embarrass father.
00:04:39If you ask me, Clara will soon end up picking the absolute best husband.
00:04:44Clara, now that your sister's marriage is settled, we've secured a man of power.
00:04:49You need to pick a man of wealth to truly be worthy of being my daughter.
00:04:54My lady, it's your turn.
00:04:55Political schemes and endless wealth are ultimately just passing clouds.
00:04:59In this life, I only wish to find a good man and live a peaceful life.
00:05:03Lady Clara, throw it to me!
00:05:05Lady Clara, throw it to me!
00:05:06Oh, oh!
00:05:08Hey, get it!
00:05:09Get the box!
00:05:09Oh!
00:05:12It's mine!
00:05:21It's him.
00:05:22In my past life, he was the exact one who caught Erika's bridal ball.
00:05:26Oh dear!
00:05:27How could the bridal ball end up with a beggar?
00:05:30Clara, what terrible luck!
00:05:31Of all people, you picked a beggar!
00:05:33You must have really angered the gods.
00:05:34How will father ever show his face?
00:05:36You useless girl!
00:05:38With the crowd there, you threw it to a beggar!
00:05:40Now while Kingston is laughing at us, are you trying to humiliate me?
00:05:44Victor, at least our Erika did us proud by securing the Miller family.
00:05:48Otherwise, we would be utterly disgraced today, unable to ever hold our heads high again.
00:05:53What's done is done.
00:05:54Clara, don't be too upset.
00:05:55He may be a lowly beggar, but at least he's not bad looking.
00:05:58I just feel sorry for you.
00:06:00Raised in luxury your whole life, and now you actually have to marry a beggar.
00:06:03Ugh.
00:06:04A woman's marriage is the most important path in her entire life.
00:06:07You chose a beggar.
00:06:09From now on, you'll be living on the streets.
00:06:11We cannot help you.
00:06:12Well, well.
00:06:13Now this is a show.
00:06:14Will the noble girl actually marry a beggar?
00:06:17Everyone's watching.
00:06:18If she refuses the marriage, her family will break their promise.
00:06:20Who dares associate with them after that?
00:06:22Exactly!
00:06:22Let's see how they handle this!
00:06:24Hey!
00:06:25Where are you going?
00:06:25Stop her!
00:06:26Don't let her get away!
00:06:27Master!
00:06:28I finally found you!
00:06:30Oh!
00:06:31For heaven's sake!
00:06:33Why is the bridal ball in your hands?
00:06:34Why don't you just throw it away?
00:06:36Once we're outside the palace, we're just common folk.
00:06:40We can't go against local customs.
00:06:42Besides, look at my filthy rags!
00:06:44Why would she ever marry a guy like me?
00:06:59I...
00:06:59Clara, in such a hurry to see your wonderful groom.
00:07:03You're the one who threw the ball.
00:07:05And you're the one who chose him.
00:07:07Don't tell me you regret it now.
00:07:09You wretched girl!
00:07:10Look at that filthy beggar you attracted!
00:07:11If he really becomes my son-in-law,
00:07:13you'd be dragging our entire family's honor through the mud!
00:07:15In my past life, my life at Miller Manor was unbearable.
00:07:18I was reduced to being a pawn in the Shaw's quest for power.
00:07:21Thinking about it now,
00:07:22I'd rather marry a beggar and live a peaceful life.
00:07:24The rule of the bridal ball is that the first catch is final,
00:07:26even if you refuse to marry him.
00:07:28I'm willing to marry him!
00:07:29I'm willing to marry him!
00:07:35What are you kidding me?
00:07:36How did that happen?
00:07:38I'm Clara Shaw.
00:07:40What's your name?
00:07:41I...
00:07:43I'm Luke.
00:07:46Today, with all of you as my witnesses,
00:07:49I, Clara Shaw, will marry Luke.
00:07:52Wow.
00:07:53Whoa.
00:07:56You really want to marry me?
00:07:57Of course.
00:07:59Since you caught my bridal ball,
00:08:01are you trying to back out now?
00:08:03No, it's not that.
00:08:04It's just that I have nothing.
00:08:06Marrying me means facing a hard life and going hungry.
00:08:09You still want this?
00:08:09We both have working hands, so we can build whatever we need ourselves.
00:08:12If we work hard, fund some work, making a decent living, won't be a problem.
00:08:16Palace people will do any evil for self-gain.
00:08:18I've never met someone so easily pleased.
00:08:21A filthy beggar!
00:08:21And she's treating him like a prize!
00:08:24Oh, Clara.
00:08:25You need to think this through.
00:08:27Marrying a beggar is throwing your future away.
00:08:30A good future isn't built on status.
00:08:32It's built on character and integrity.
00:08:34Luke may be poorly dressed, but he seems kind and well-mannered.
00:08:37He could be a good match.
00:08:40The rules of the match are already set.
00:08:43Even if the squire wants to go back now, it's too late.
00:08:46Exactly.
00:08:47If he breaks the deal, it violates our traditions and ruins the Shaw family's reputation.
00:08:54Since you've made up your mind, don't come blaming this family later.
00:08:58Any future glory we achieve will have nothing to do with you.
00:09:01I understand, father.
00:09:03Alright everyone, break it up.
00:09:04Always have to watch the drama, honestly.
00:09:06Well, the show's over.
00:09:08Time to go home.
00:09:10Lord Amos!
00:09:11Lord Amos, please wait!
00:09:13Lord Amos, please come inside the manor to discuss the wedding.
00:09:19Let's go.
00:09:21This way, please.
00:09:22Clara, don't say I didn't warn you.
00:09:25By marrying that beggar for the rest of your life, you'll always be beneath me.
00:09:30You should worry more about yourself.
00:09:32Life in the Miller Manor won't be nearly as pleasant as you imagine.
00:10:00Oh my goodness!
00:10:02Are you all right?!
00:10:04Are you hurt?
00:10:05Are you hurt?
00:10:06I'm fine. See, I'm perfectly fine.
00:10:08I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
00:10:09It was an accident. Just be more careful next time.
00:10:12Okay, I will.
00:10:12Marrying such a kind and honest man is truly my greatest blessing.
00:10:16In three days, come to the Shaw Manor for our wedding.
00:10:19Turning to the palace means being forced to choose concubines instead of that.
00:10:23Alright. I'll definitely be there.
00:10:30Lady Erika weds today.
00:10:32Her dowry includes a pair of jeweled gold hairpins, an ocean pearl diadem, a pair of jade bracelets, 20 rolls
00:10:45of premium silk, and three deeds to Eastern Estates.
00:10:51Lady Erika's dowry is worth a fortune, but Lady Claire gets nothing.
00:10:56They're both Shaw daughters, but the difference is massive.
00:10:58Haven't you heard? Lady Erika is marrying the second son of the Miller family, while Lady Clara is marrying some
00:11:03beggar.
00:11:04Of course they're treated differently.
00:11:05Oh, so embarrassing.
00:11:06If you really marry that beggar, your life will be full of hardship.
00:11:09I wonder if you can even handle it.
00:11:11The groom is here!
00:11:15He's truly a son of the Millers.
00:11:17What a grand entrance.
00:11:19The Miller family is incredibly powerful.
00:11:21Erika will enjoy endless blessings after marrying him.
00:11:24But Lady Clara marries a beggar.
00:11:26Her future will be a joke.
00:11:27He's here! He's here!
00:11:35My respects, father, mother.
00:11:38Amos, there's no need for formalities.
00:11:40Amos, this wedding procession of yours is a rare sight in Kingston.
00:11:44To have you honor Erika like this is a privilege for our family.
00:11:48Word Amos has arrived, but where's the other groom?
00:11:50If I were him, I would crawl into a hole and never show my face.
00:11:54Clara, the auspicious hour is passing.
00:11:56Your husband isn't here yet.
00:11:58Did he abandon you?
00:12:00He's here! He's here!
00:12:02The groom has arrived!
00:12:07You're finally here.
00:12:09I will do what I promised.
00:12:16My royal...
00:12:18Uh...
00:12:20My apologies.
00:12:22I'm late.
00:12:23What in the world are you wearing?
00:12:24In front of all these noble guests?
00:12:25You are completely humiliating me!
00:12:27Today is supposed to be a wedding day, yet this filthy beggar wears these rags to marry a bride.
00:12:31Clara truly has no sense of shame.
00:12:33Marriage is a lifelong commitment.
00:12:35It's about true love, not appearances.
00:12:37The man I, Clara Shaw, chose will never be shaken by idle gossip.
00:12:40Haven't you embarrassed us enough?
00:12:42Victor, don't be angry.
00:12:43Once Clara leaves this door, she is no longer a Shaw.
00:12:46The auspicious hour has arrived!
00:12:48Bring up the bride!
00:12:53Minister Voss has arrived!
00:12:58You're...
00:12:59Shut your mouth if you want to live.
00:13:01What an honor, Minister Voss.
00:13:03Forgive my lack of proper welcome.
00:13:05Heaven truly does reward the faithful.
00:13:08Squire, congratulations.
00:13:11This way, Minister Voss.
00:13:14No, after you.
00:13:15The groom comes first.
00:13:16Please go ahead.
00:13:20Don't tell me you walked here.
00:13:22On a wedding day, a bride has never walked to her new home before.
00:13:26Well, today is certainly a first.
00:13:29Tell me about it.
00:13:30Unlike my husband.
00:13:39My dear, let's go home.
00:14:01Clara Shaw, just wait until I'm the Grand Dame.
00:14:04You'll be sorry then.
00:14:17So this is where you live?
00:14:20Yeah.
00:14:32This is the place you found for me?
00:14:34But Master, you said it had to match your current identity.
00:14:37This place is a dump.
00:14:39How can anyone live here?
00:14:40I was just worried you'd blow your cover.
00:14:46I know this place is beneath you.
00:14:48I'm so sorry to wrong you like this.
00:14:50Let's just...
00:14:51Let's just give it a good clean.
00:14:52It is actually quite spacious here.
00:14:54So it will definitely be comfortable.
00:14:55From now on, this will be our home.
00:14:57Home?
00:14:58Our home.
00:15:00This lady Clara is so virtuous and gentle.
00:15:02She's a million times better than all those ladies mother picked out for me.
00:15:09Clara, I don't have much to offer you right now.
00:15:13This jade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:15:16Now I want you to have it.
00:15:19You are giving me something so precious?
00:15:26Alright, don't worry.
00:15:28I'll take very good care of it.
00:15:30The Emperor actually gave away his personal dragon, Tarpenton.
00:15:33Has he truly fallen in love with Lady Clara?
00:15:34The Emperor?
00:16:32This bed is so hard.
00:16:49Ow, it's so hot!
00:16:51Clara, are you okay? Did you burn yourself?
00:16:54I'm fine, don't worry. Breakfast is ready. Eat while it's hot. I have to go out for a bit.
00:16:58Where are you going?
00:16:59Today is our post-wedding family visit. The protective charms I embroidered for my parents still need a few stitches.
00:17:04I must get some threads to finish them before we head to the manor.
00:17:06Then I'll go with you.
00:17:08Okay.
00:17:15Greetings, your majesty!
00:17:17Your majesty?
00:17:22Greetings, your...
00:17:25What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?
00:17:29What's wrong with the emperor? Is he sick?
00:17:31You're magi...
00:17:32Whoa! There's plenty of dirt here! No need for such a grand foul!
00:17:36What are you doing?
00:17:37Are you alright?
00:17:38I'm fine. Don't worry.
00:17:41Who are they?
00:17:42Palace matters are too messy right now. I will reveal my identity to Clara later.
00:17:45Oh, they...
00:17:47They're here for Lucas.
00:17:48Oh, right! My friends!
00:17:50They're here for me.
00:17:51I used to work in the palace.
00:17:52We're old acquaintances.
00:17:54Hmm.
00:17:55Oh.
00:17:55Clara, I'm gonna help Lucas with his guests.
00:17:58Can you buy the threads alone?
00:17:59Sure.
00:18:04Your majesty!
00:18:07Report. What's happened?
00:18:08Word came from the palace that the Empress Dowager was so worried about you that she collapsed.
00:18:13What?
00:18:13Lucas, you stay here and protect Clara.
00:18:15Yes, sire.
00:18:16The rest of you, back to the palace with me.
00:18:22Have our men prepare some lavish gifts and send them to the Shaw Manor.
00:18:25Let them be a homecoming gift from Clara.
00:18:27Understood.
00:18:27Let's go.
00:18:28Hot buns! Get them while they're hot!
00:18:31Come and have a look!
00:18:33Fine goods! Great prices!
00:18:35Come and have a look!
00:18:37Lucas, home entertaining guests.
00:18:38I shouldn't go back and disturb him.
00:18:40My father already dislikes who Luke is.
00:18:43He'll just be humiliated if he comes along.
00:18:45I'd better go back by myself.
00:18:53They're my family, after all.
00:18:55No matter how hard it is, I have to face them.
00:18:57I should go in.
00:19:00Father!
00:19:01I'm home!
00:19:02Father!
00:19:03I'm home!
00:19:06Father!
00:19:07Well, well.
00:19:10Clara, why did you come back alone?
00:19:16On a grand day like our return visit, why did you come back all by yourself?
00:19:20Don't tell me you were afraid your beggar husband would embarrass you.
00:19:23So you didn't even let him come back with you.
00:19:26He had something urgent come up.
00:19:28Lady Clara, marrying a beggar must be complete misery.
00:19:32You've gotten so thin.
00:19:34If you hadn't married that filthy beggar, I might have taken you as my concubine, saving you from falling this
00:19:40low.
00:19:41Bitch.
00:19:41Amos, you don't know that my sister has always preferred associating with the lower class.
00:19:45Having her here at the Miller Manor probably makes her uncomfortable.
00:19:48Do not waste your breath on me.
00:19:50I'm doing just fine.
00:19:51But what about you, Erica?
00:19:52Lately, I bet you haven't seen your husband.
00:19:54Hey!
00:19:56That damn Amos Miller.
00:19:57On our wedding night, he went out cruising.
00:19:59Now the whole town knows.
00:20:00I am utterly humiliated, Erica.
00:20:02Hey, huh?
00:20:09Mother.
00:20:11Greetings, father.
00:20:12Greetings, mother.
00:20:14You're here alone?
00:20:15Have you no shame at all?
00:20:16It has been only days, yet you forgot our family etiquette.
00:20:19Lord Amos is a man of noble status, yet he personally accompanied Erica.
00:20:22What rubbish Luke's busy with, abandoning you on your wedding return.
00:20:25Don't give him too much credit.
00:20:27That filthy beggar is probably out begging on the streets as we speak.
00:20:30Father, I've brought some modest gifts.
00:20:33Someone.
00:20:36To have you visit a home in person is already a great privilege for me.
00:20:40I can't believe you've brought so much.
00:20:42Take them inside at once.
00:20:43My daughter marrying you is the greatest blessing of her life.
00:20:46Unlike certain people who threw her life away on a beggar.
00:20:49But this family raised you for years.
00:20:50Did you really plan to show up empty-handed?
00:20:52Yes, Clara.
00:20:53Are you really so pathetically broke that you couldn't even afford a single return gift?
00:20:57Of course not.
00:21:00I personally embroidered these protective charms for father and mother.
00:21:04I sincerely pray that you both will stay safe and well.
00:21:12Get out!
00:21:13What worthless garbage!
00:21:15Clara, what is this thing you've made?
00:21:17A worthless piece of cloth and you dare flaunt it to humiliate us?
00:21:21You truly are a beggar's wife.
00:21:23Even your pathetic gifts match your miserable status.
00:21:27Enough, that's enough.
00:21:28She's married a beggar after all.
00:21:30What decent thing could she possibly offer?
00:21:32Master!
00:21:32Master!
00:21:33Men from the palace are here with gifts.
00:21:35They saved the grand return gift from Lady Clara.
00:21:37What?
00:21:47Squire Shaw!
00:21:48Congratulations!
00:21:49Your eldest daughter must have found a very powerful lord.
00:21:53Otherwise, why would the officials order me to deliver these gifts myself?
00:21:56Lewis!
00:21:56Were these really sent from the palace?
00:21:58The head unic himself came to arrange this.
00:22:01How could it be fake?
00:22:02They said it was for Lady Clara.
00:22:05You must have misheard.
00:22:07Everyone in Kingston knows that Clara married a beggar.
00:22:09Unlike our Amos, his brother is the deputy chief justice.
00:22:12They must have sent these out of respect for Amos.
00:22:14Plenty of people are desperate to flatter his family.
00:22:16I just didn't expect the palace to notice us, too.
00:22:19Plenty of people are desperate to flatter my family.
00:22:22Father, please accept this.
00:22:24Our Erika's truly married a fine husband.
00:22:26This grand reception and these lavish gifts really bring honor to the Shaw matter.
00:22:30I remember them saying these gifts were for Lady Clara.
00:22:33Thank you for making the trip here.
00:22:36Well, as long as it's for the Shas, it doesn't matter.
00:22:39My mistake.
00:22:40The gifts are for Lady Erika.
00:22:42Take all of this inside.
00:22:47Clara, my husband sent homecoming gifts twice.
00:22:50Looking at all this, aren't you ashamed?
00:22:54Gifts do not matter.
00:22:55Sincerity does.
00:22:56I see nothing wrong with it.
00:22:58So you don't care about our reputation at all?
00:23:00I wish the ears raised at you!
00:23:02Yet as the eldest daughter of this house, you married a beggar and disgraced us.
00:23:06And now you bring back this worthless chug to disgrace me!
00:23:09Don't ever come back here again!
00:23:11The Shaw family has no place for a failure like you!
00:23:18Fine.
00:23:19I'll leave then.
00:23:21Take care, Father.
00:23:22I will visit again some other day.
00:23:26In my past life, I suffered immensely because of that filthy beggar.
00:23:29Why should Clara get to leave so easily?
00:23:31Father, look at her trying to leave without a word of apology.
00:23:34So outrageous.
00:23:35She's right, Victor.
00:23:36You can't just let her leave like this.
00:23:38We don't want people gossiping behind our backs, saying our family has no discipline.
00:23:41Stop right there!
00:23:44You think you can just come and go as you please?
00:23:46What do you take my manor for?
00:23:49No matter what I do, Father, I am always wrong in your eyes.
00:23:53Leaving now will save certain people from looking at an eyesore.
00:23:56You want to leave?
00:23:57Fine.
00:23:57Not until you crawl down Crown Avenue begging for forgiveness and tell the whole town how
00:24:02you shame this family by marrying a beggar.
00:24:07Only then may you sever all ties with us.
00:24:15Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:24:16Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:24:18Mother!
00:24:20I thought she had collapsed.
00:24:22Could it be that she...
00:24:25So you do remember I'm your mother?
00:24:27All I asked was for you to choose a consort.
00:24:29Was that so much to ask?
00:24:30As the Emperor, you actually snaked out of the palace to fool around.
00:24:33As for choosing a consort, you can make the decision.
00:24:35Since you seem fine, I will take my leave.
00:24:38Wait!
00:24:41Your Majesty, the official court reports have been piling up for days.
00:24:44If you don't attend to them, crucial state affairs will be delayed.
00:24:46Please prioritize your Imperial duties.
00:24:48Once I finish these files and leave the palace, I should still be able to make it to the Shaw
00:24:52Manor in time.
00:24:53To the Royal Steady.
00:24:55Erika makes a very fair point.
00:24:57Do as your sister says.
00:24:59Just because I married Luke, you have to humiliate me like this?
00:25:03You returned today without a husband or a single return gift.
00:25:06Asking you to bow and apologize is hardly asking too much.
00:25:09Erika is only looking out for our family, unlike you marrying a beggar and disgracing her family.
00:25:14Disgracing you?
00:25:15It's just because Erika married into a rich family that you indulge her every whim.
00:25:19You as ill a child!
00:25:20Have I been too easy on you?
00:25:22Who taught you to say such rebellious things?
00:25:25Am I wrong?
00:25:27In your eyes, your daughters are nothing but pawns used to gain power and influence.
00:25:31How dare you?
00:25:32You can blame me for just replace!
00:25:37The Dragon Carved Chain Pendant!
00:25:42This is bad!
00:25:44I must inform His Majesty at once!
00:25:48Give me back my pendant!
00:25:50This is a fine-looking pendant!
00:25:53Tell me, Clara, where did you steal it from?
00:25:55That's from Luke!
00:25:56It's mine!
00:25:56Give it back to me now!
00:25:57That filthy beggar?
00:25:59Then there's no way!
00:26:01He must have stolen it!
00:26:02I thought a Dragon Carved Chain Pendant could never end up in a dump like this!
00:26:05I guess my eyes play tricks on me!
00:26:07Luke may not be as high-born as you, so because you were born rich you think you own everything?
00:26:11Is Luke not allowed to have nice things?
00:26:13Huh.
00:26:14Treasuring a beggar's garbage like it's some precious price.
00:26:17It's strange, though.
00:26:19You've been out here for so long, yet your husband hasn't come looking for you.
00:26:23Doesn't seem like he cares much about you.
00:26:26Give me back my pendant!
00:26:28You can have the pendant, but you must sever all ties with this family first.
00:26:32What?
00:26:33Father!
00:26:33Are you really going to let Erica get away with this?
00:26:36I'm your daughter, too!
00:26:37You insisted on marrying that beggar and humiliated my family name!
00:26:41And from this moment on, Erica is my only daughter!
00:26:48In this life, I only wish to be with someone who loves me truly.
00:26:52Even a simple, poor life is better than enduring your cold contempt.
00:26:58If that's your choice, then from this day forward...
00:27:04I, Claire Shaw, hereby sever all ties with the Shaws!
00:27:07We are done!
00:27:13For a filthy beggar, you chose to disown your own family!
00:27:16Good thing we never depended on you!
00:27:20Isn't that exactly what you wanted, Father?
00:27:22Why should I stay here and suffer?
00:27:23Hey!
00:27:27Give me the pendant!
00:27:28Not so fast!
00:27:30Someone, bring the hot coals from the kitchen!
00:27:32Spread them on the ground!
00:27:33What are you doing?
00:27:41Greetings, Your Majesty!
00:27:44Who sent you?
00:27:45I am Wendy Zane, daughter of Hunter Zane, the Prime Minister.
00:27:48The Empress Dowager ordered me to attend to Your Majesty.
00:27:51I'm busy with state affairs.
00:27:52Leave.
00:27:53Your Majesty!
00:27:55Something terrible has happened!
00:27:56Lady Claire is at the Shaw Manor!
00:27:58What happened?
00:28:00What exactly happened?
00:28:01Speak!
00:28:02On her wedding return, the Shaws trapped in and humiliated her!
00:28:05They forced her to kneel!
00:28:06What?
00:28:08Your Majesty, please calm down!
00:28:10Summon the Imperial Guard!
00:28:11We are going to the Shaw Manor!
00:28:13Your Majesty, where are you going?
00:28:14The Empress Dowager said...
00:28:16Yeah!
00:28:17Ah!
00:28:24Yeah!
00:28:29Your life and your body belong to your parents.
00:28:32You want to sever ties?
00:28:33Then pay back your debt to them first.
00:28:35Walk across this, and you will have your wish.
00:28:39No.
00:28:40These coals are burning so intensely.
00:28:41If I walk on them, I won't survive.
00:28:43I won't do it.
00:28:44Oh?
00:28:45I guess you don't want your precious jade back.
00:28:49Don't throw it!
00:28:54Luke is the only person who truly loves me in this world.
00:28:56That pendant was left by his own parents.
00:28:58I will never let them destroy his only gift.
00:29:01Fine.
00:29:03I'll do it.
00:29:26For a beggar, you'd really go this far!
00:29:29You've completely lost your mind!
00:29:31YAH!
00:29:34A worthless piece of jade makes our spoiled girl gladly walk on burning coals.
00:29:39No wonder she was dumb enough to throw her life away on a beggar.
00:29:42After all, a beggar has nothing of value to offer.
00:29:45No wonder Clara cherishes it so much.
00:29:47I don't have much to offer you right now.
00:29:50This jade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:29:52Now, I want you to have it.
00:29:58YAH!
00:29:59YAH!
00:30:02Luke, I will get that pendant back.
00:30:07YAH!
00:30:12YAH!
00:30:13YAH!
00:30:14YAH!
00:30:15YAH!
00:30:16YAH!
00:30:17YAH!
00:30:17She actually made it all the way.
00:30:20YAH!
00:30:23YAH!
00:30:23YAH!
00:30:24YAH!
00:30:24YAH!
00:30:26YAH!
00:30:27Will you give me my pendant back?
00:30:28You want it?
00:30:30Then you'll have to get it yourself.
00:30:32If you dare to take it.
00:30:34This jade pendant is yours.
00:30:45YAH!
00:30:48YAH!
00:30:50YAH!
00:30:50YAH!
00:30:51YAH!
00:30:52YAH!
00:30:52YAH!
00:30:53YAH!
00:30:54YAH!
00:30:55YAH!
00:30:55YAH!
00:30:56YAH!
00:30:56YAH!
00:30:56YAH!
00:30:57YAH!
00:30:58YAH!
00:30:59YAH!
00:30:59YAH!
00:31:02YAH!
00:31:03YAH!
00:31:04YAH!
00:31:05YAH!
00:31:08YAH!
00:31:10YAH!
00:31:10YAH!
00:31:10YAH!
00:31:15Found it!
00:31:16I finally found it!
00:31:18YAH!
00:31:19YAH!
00:31:20YAH!
00:31:20You cherish your pathetic love for that filthy beggar so much.
00:31:26If you were disfigured.
00:31:27Do you think your beloved husband would still want you?
00:31:30No!
00:31:31Why are you glaring at me like that?
00:31:33I warned you long ago the fate of marrying a beggar has only one outcome.
00:31:37To be trampled on by everyone.
00:31:38You go to such cruel lengths to torture me.
00:31:40But do you really think you'll win?
00:31:47What I want is for you to spend the rest of your life hiding away in the darkest gutters.
00:31:51Forced to watch me like a rat as I become the most powerful woman in the world.
00:32:01Master!
00:32:02Master!
00:32:03The em-
00:32:03The Emperor's here!
00:32:05What did you say?
00:32:06The Emperor!
00:32:23The Emperor!
00:32:35The Emperor!
00:32:35Luke...
00:32:36The Emperor?!
00:32:43Clara...
00:32:44Clara...
00:32:45I'm sorry I'm late.
00:32:47Luke...
00:32:48I didn't lose the jade pendant you gave me.
00:32:54I thought the Emperor was coming. Why is it him?
00:32:58The filthy beggar! How can he afford such fine clothes?
00:33:01And look at those men! Aren't those the palace guards?
00:33:05Why are they following a beggar?
00:33:07Mother...
00:33:08I heard his brother used to work in the palace. Stealing a few uniforms would be easy.
00:33:13He must have lost face at the wedding last time, so he's here to put on a show.
00:33:17The palace has been plagued by thefts lately. Could it be their doing?
00:33:20Hmph.
00:33:21What a joke! A filthy beggar dares to put on an act into my manner!
00:33:25Clara, look at this loser you married.
00:33:27Being worthless is one thing, but now, just for pride, he actually dares to steal from the Emperor.
00:33:32If the Emperor finds out, you will both pay with your lives.
00:33:36Utter foolish.
00:33:37You're asking for it.
00:33:42What... What do you think you're doing?!
00:33:45Clara, what's wrong?
00:33:46It hurts.
00:33:58Which one of you did this?!
00:33:59It was me, what about it?
00:34:01I was only trying to help her.
00:34:03Who knew she would walk on hot coals just for a worthless piece of jade?
00:34:08She must be completely out of her mind. Such an idiot.
00:34:11Shut up! Who do you think you are?
00:34:13How dare you raise your voice in front of me?
00:34:16I can mock her all I want.
00:34:17She chose to marry a good for nothing loser like you.
00:34:19Compared to me, you both are nothing but insects.
00:34:23Even if I wanted her dead today, she'd still have to thank me on her knees.
00:34:27Let's see how long you can keep up this act.
00:34:29Well, seize him!
00:34:33How dare you!
00:34:35Touch what is mine!
00:34:37Seize them!
00:34:37Understood!
00:34:44How dare you!
00:34:45I am Lady Miller!
00:34:46I am Lady Miller!
00:34:48I am Lady Miller!
00:34:50Darling, help me!
00:34:51You filthy beggar!
00:34:53How dare you touch my wife!
00:34:54You must have a death wish!
00:34:56Scout's role!
00:34:58Lord Abos is a royal relative!
00:34:59If you harm him, you make an enemy of the entire Miller family!
00:35:02Hmm.
00:35:03So what if he's royalty?
00:35:05Anyone who harms my people, pays with their life.
00:35:09You filthy beggar!
00:35:10You're taking this act too far!
00:35:12Before I lose my temper, let me go right now!
00:35:14And I might let you live!
00:35:16You tortured Clara into a miserable state.
00:35:19Pressed their faces into the burning coals!
00:35:22No!
00:35:23Father!
00:35:24Let me go!
00:35:25Let me go!
00:35:26Father!
00:35:28Do something!
00:35:30You dare touch me?
00:35:31Once the High Court guards arrive, you're a dead man!
00:35:34Hold on.
00:35:36The High Court, you say?
00:35:39Scared now, are you?
00:35:40My brother is an Imperial official!
00:35:43If you harm me, you won't get out of this alive!
00:35:48Then I'd like to see...
00:35:50Who in the High Court would dare to indulge your arrogance?
00:35:55Do it now!
00:35:58Let go of me!
00:36:00Let me go!
00:36:00Let me go!
00:36:01Let me go!
00:36:01You imbecile!
00:36:02If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!
00:36:05Stop!
00:36:12Henry!
00:36:13Henry save me!
00:36:16Get them!
00:36:32You mongrel!
00:36:33So you're the one laying your hand on my brother!
00:36:35Insolent!
00:36:36What if I am?
00:36:39That voice...
00:36:41You're...
00:36:46You carry quite an arrogant authority!
00:36:49Ugh!
00:36:50Your Majesty!
00:36:52Your Majesty?
00:36:56Your Majesty?
00:36:57This filthy beggar, how can that be?
00:37:00Henry!
00:37:01Don't let this filthy beggar fool you!
00:37:03He's the one who robbed the palace, and he used his money to bribe these people!
00:37:06You just started your job, so a mistake is normal, but he's really just a filthy beggar! He can't possibly
00:37:11be the Emperor!
00:37:12Could I really be mistaken?
00:37:14I only caught a glimpse of His Majesty's profile once.
00:37:17Perhaps it's just a striking resemblance. The Emperor would never be in a place like this.
00:37:21You're disgraced! Look at this loser you married!
00:37:23Now that you've crossed Lord Amos, let's see how you survive this!
00:37:26My Lord! You must seek justice for us!
00:37:28This beggar and Clara have lost their minds trying to slaughter their own family!
00:37:33How outrageous! In the heart of the capital, how dare you act so recklessly!
00:37:36Guards! Drag them into the High Court dungeons and torture them for confessions!
00:37:42Stop.
00:37:44Do you have something else to say?
00:37:46I wasn't aware that you were now Deputy Chief Justice.
00:37:49You're just a filthy beggar. How could you know about court appointments? The Empress Dowager appointed my brother!
00:37:54I bet you're sorry now, aren't you?
00:37:56To even manipulate the Empress Dowager, your Miller family truly is audacious.
00:38:00Your Majesty! You must seek justice for me!
00:38:04The Emperor left the palace and married the eldest Shaw daughter!
00:38:07Because of that woman, His Majesty even lost his temper with me!
00:38:10What? You're saying the Emperor?
00:38:13Actually married a common girl?
00:38:19Attendance! Prepare my carriage!
00:38:23How dare you! How dare you insult the Empress Dowager! Do you have a death wish!
00:38:26Please hear us out! Our family has already severed all ties with Clara Shaw! What he says has absolutely nothing
00:38:32to do with us!
00:38:33My Lord, we have always followed the rules! We would never dare disrespect royalty! Please clear our name!
00:38:38Yes, my Lord! Please be merciful!
00:38:40You filthy beggar insulting royalty is a treasonous offense! Execute him, my Lord!
00:38:43Clara Shaw, your pathetic husband has sealed his fate! No one can save you today!
00:38:47I can't let anything happen to Luke.
00:38:50Please spare his life! My husband wasn't thinking straight!
00:38:57Clara! Clara!
00:39:00I'm taking you to a doctor right now!
00:39:03How dare you! Trying to run away!
00:39:05Guards! Stop them!
00:39:10Anyone who gets in my way, dies!
00:39:13Yes, sire!
00:39:25You won't get away so easily!
00:39:27You won't get away so easily!
00:39:39Luke!
00:39:39Luke!
00:39:46Erica Shaw, how could you be so vicious?
00:39:49Luke never did anything to you!
00:39:51How could you be so ruthless?
00:39:53That filthy beggar dared to have me disfigured!
00:39:56There's no way I will ever let you walk away!
00:40:01Don't bother looking!
00:40:03Your men are too busy to save you now!
00:40:06You're asking for it!
00:40:09Luke!
00:40:10I'm okay!
00:40:12Just go!
00:40:13Go?
00:40:15You think he can leave?
00:40:17Why won't you just let me go?!
00:40:18I have to admit, you're so lucky, Clara!
00:40:22Even after marrying a beggar, you still get true love!
00:40:25But the more you have it, the more I want to destroy your happiness!
00:40:28This is between you and me!
00:40:30We shouldn't drag an innocent man into it!
00:40:33Do whatever you want to me!
00:40:35I'm begging you, let Luke go!
00:40:41Clara!
00:40:42Clara!
00:40:43How touching!
00:40:45Even at a time like this, you're still so devoted to each other!
00:40:48Since you two are so deeply in love!
00:40:49Then I don't mind sending you off together!
00:40:52Die!
00:41:00The Empress Dowager has arrived!
00:41:04No!
00:41:10That's fair!
00:41:12The Empress Dowager has arrived!
00:41:13Who dare haunt my son!
00:41:15Greetings, your majesty!
00:41:19He really is..
00:41:21The Emperor!
00:41:22The Emperor!
00:41:27Physician! Go get a physician!
00:41:29Your Majesty! I deserve to die for this!
00:41:33Silence!
00:41:36Clara!
00:41:38Lucas, take Clara back to the palace for treatment.
00:41:41If anything happens to Clara, you will answer with your life!
00:41:44Yes, Your Majesty!
00:41:52My son, your wound!
00:41:59Your Majesty!
00:42:02Impossible! How could he be the Emperor?
00:42:05I clearly played every single step, reborn into this life, and I still choose wrong!
00:42:12Please spare my life, Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:42:15Please show us, Marcy! I was completely blind! I accidentally harmed you!
00:42:20Your Majesty! Everyone in the Shaw Manor has been arrested!
00:42:24What?
00:42:26You killed him!
00:42:27Isn't he just a beggar? How could he be the Emperor?
00:42:29Spare my life, Your Majesty! I know I was wrong!
00:42:32When you humiliated Clara, did you ever think this day would come?
00:42:36By my decree, Victor Shaw and his entire household shall be executed on the spot!
00:42:43No!
00:42:46Henry Miller, an official of the Empire, abused his authorities to aid these villains.
00:42:51Effective immediately, he is stripped of his title as Deputy Chief.
00:42:56Throw him and Amos to the High Court Dungeons!
00:42:59What?
00:43:00Your Majesty!
00:43:02I have made a grave mistake, but it is all the Shaw family's fault!
00:43:06Out of respect for my father, please give me a chance to redeem myself!
00:43:11Yes, yes, that's right! Please show mercy, Your Majesty!
00:43:15My son, although the two Miller sons were utterly foolish, they were not the masterminds.
00:43:20Let them off this once, and lighten their punishment.
00:43:24But they...
00:43:26You make the choice.
00:43:34Clara.
00:43:35Luke, are you alright? Are you hurt?
00:43:38I'm fine, just lie down. The Royal Physician said you must rest your wound.
00:43:43The Royal Physician?
00:43:45Why are we in the palace?
00:43:46The Empress Dowager saved us.
00:43:48The Empress Dowager?
00:43:53Mother.
00:43:54You want to name Clara as Empress? I will never allow it!
00:43:57Clara and I have already pledged our lives.
00:43:59Whether you agree or not, I will overcome any obstacle to make Clara my Empress.
00:44:04What?
00:44:07Fine.
00:44:08I will find an opportunity to test Clara Shaw.
00:44:11If she can pass my test, I will not stand in your way.
00:44:17Thank you, Mother.
00:44:17But before that, you must not reveal your identity to her.
00:44:24Or I'll find plenty of ways to punish her.
00:44:28I understand.
00:44:30Her Majesty left the palace to pray and happened to pass by your manor, which was how she saved us.
00:44:34What about my family?
00:44:35Her Majesty ordered your sister and Amos to be flogged 50 times.
00:44:39Amos has always lived a degenerate life, so he was too weak and passed out.
00:44:42So the Empress Dowager had him locked up.
00:44:44Your sister was sent to the discipline ward to do hard labor.
00:44:47As for your parents...
00:44:48What happened to my parents?
00:44:51They've been exiled.
00:44:55Exiled?
00:44:59I'll protect you from now on.
00:45:02I asked Her Majesty for a guard position, and she assigned you to the palace attendants.
00:45:07We will both work inside the palace now.
00:45:10That's wonderful.
00:45:11Now that we both have a secure living, we can work here for a few years, and then leave this
00:45:16palace together and live a simple life.
00:45:18All right.
00:45:22Clara, I hope you can forgive me.
00:45:29This is the palace attendants.
00:45:32So where do your guards stay?
00:45:34We're on patrol all the time.
00:45:36We don't have a fixed post.
00:45:40Don't worry.
00:45:41When I'm free, I'll make time to come see you.
00:45:45All right.
00:45:56You come to visit my office, yet you didn't give me any warning.
00:46:00This is the new maid, Clara Shaw.
00:46:02From now on, I expect you, Madam Lin, to take extra care of her.
00:46:07She runs the palace attendants.
00:46:09Madam Lin, go to her for anything you need.
00:46:12Madam Lin?
00:46:13Oh, I see.
00:46:14Don't you worry.
00:46:15I'll be sure to take good care of Lady Clara.
00:46:18She's being way too polite.
00:46:20I came here to work.
00:46:21So why does it feel like I'm the master here?
00:46:24She's probably just a kind soul.
00:46:26That's good, though.
00:46:26No one will dare mistreat you here.
00:46:28Clara, please follow me.
00:46:41Wash!
00:46:42All of these right now!
00:46:44We are both servants here, so I have no reason to do your laundry.
00:46:47How dare you ask that?
00:46:48You stole my assignment, forcing me to clean toilets instead!
00:46:51Some people use disgusting tricks to get into this place.
00:46:54Since you charmed Madam Lin, she dumped the easiest chore on you.
00:47:06Give that back!
00:47:09The dragon carved jade pendant!
00:47:11Only the emperor is allowed to wear.
00:47:12Speak!
00:47:13Where did you steal it?
00:47:14What emperor?
00:47:15Just give me back the pendant!
00:47:18Go get Madam Lin.
00:47:19Yes.
00:47:37Jenny!
00:47:38You!
00:47:39I...
00:47:39It was an accident!
00:47:40Cease her right now!
00:47:42No!
00:47:45Stop it, all of you!
00:47:50Your majesty!
00:47:52The palace attendance is far too vulgar.
00:47:55You have never set foot here.
00:47:56I fear it may offend your grace.
00:47:58Let me announce your arrival first.
00:48:00No need.
00:48:01I specifically disguise myself as a manager, because I want to see the real Clara Shaw for myself.
00:48:08If she knows who I am, it defeats a purpose.
00:48:13The palace rules are strict.
00:48:15I was only gone for a moment, yet you dare run wild like this?
00:48:18What do you take this office for?
00:48:20Madam!
00:48:21It was all her!
00:48:24Clara stole the emperor's imperial pendant and I caught her, afraid she'd be exposed so she even attacked me!
00:48:29The palace detests thieves above all else.
00:48:32Madam Lin, you must punish her severely.
00:48:34Madam, that's not what happened!
00:48:36Enough!
00:48:40Show me the pendant!
00:48:44The pendant is mine!
00:48:46I said show it to me!
00:48:54The dragon carved jade pendant!
00:48:56It truly is the emperor's!
00:49:03Please believe me, madam.
00:49:05I truly had no idea that it belonged to the emperor.
00:49:07Madam, please don't be fooled by her lies.
00:49:09She dared to steal from the emperor himself.
00:49:10Who knows what other brazen things she'll do.
00:49:14Palace laws explicitly state that stealing any royal property warrants severe branding and mutilation.
00:49:21I will personally investigate this matter.
00:49:24Until this matter is resolved, I'll be keeping the pendant safe.
00:49:28If you really are innocent, I'll make sure you're cleared.
00:49:32Get up.
00:49:34Thank you, madam.
00:49:36This is our new manager, Madam Watson.
00:49:39From now on, she will work with me to oversee the palace attendance.
00:49:42Madam!
00:49:42All of you, listen up.
00:49:45Anyone caught slacking off will be punished without mercy.
00:49:49Yes, madam.
00:49:50As for your assault on a fellow maid, you are reassigned to clean the toilets.
00:49:58You will not eat a single bite until the job is entirely finished.
00:50:03Yes, madam.
00:50:06And here I thought you were someone special.
00:50:09Weren't you supposedly an expert at seducing men?
00:50:11How did you still get punished?
00:50:15Let's see if you ever dare to act so arrogant around us again.
00:50:34Isn't that so much better?
00:50:39Your majesty, Lady Wendy is here again today.
00:50:43Would you like to...
00:50:43I won't see her.
00:50:44Send her away.
00:50:46But...
00:50:46And you.
00:50:48I'm going to see Clara.
00:50:49If you keep tailing me, you'll give me away.
00:50:51I will take my leave at once.
00:50:54All done.
00:50:55I'm amazing.
00:50:57Clara.
00:50:58Luke, what are you doing here?
00:51:01How can Madam Lim make you do this?
00:51:03I will go confront her.
00:51:04It's just cleaning toilets.
00:51:05It's no big deal.
00:51:06Don't trouble the managers over this.
00:51:08Okay.
00:51:10Oh, by the way.
00:51:11What is the story behind the pendant?
00:51:13Why does everyone keep saying it belongs to the Emperor?
00:51:17I...
00:51:19My father graduated top of the Imperial exams to encourage future scholars.
00:51:25The Emperor personally bestowed this pendant upon him, and that's how he came to have it.
00:51:29Oh, I see.
00:51:30No wonder they kept mentioning the Emperor.
00:51:32And I thought you were lying to me.
00:51:35Who's there?
00:51:36It's the Madam.
00:51:37You have to go now.
00:51:38I'm on duty serving the Emperor tomorrow.
00:51:40I'll find a chance to see you then.
00:51:41Okay.
00:51:45Madams.
00:51:46I have finished cleaning all the toilets.
00:51:48You're done?
00:51:50Then you can clean the entire backyard.
00:51:56Yes, Madam.
00:52:01Finally done sweeping.
00:52:09What gives you the right to throw my stuff away?
00:52:13Madam Watson personally ordered you to deliver her medicine by dawn tomorrow.
00:52:17She also explicitly stated that the herbs must be brewed with the fresh dew, so you'll wait outside tonight.
00:52:22Fresh dew?
00:52:23That's right.
00:52:24Fresh dew.
00:52:25Everyone here is a witness, so don't say I'm lying.
00:52:28Why is Madam only targeting me?
00:52:32Regarding the stolen pendant, Madam Watson was already merciful enough not to lock you up.
00:52:36She's only asking you to collect some dew.
00:52:37You should be grateful.
00:52:38I didn't steal the jade pendant.
00:52:40Stop your lies.
00:52:42You didn't steal it.
00:52:43Don't tell me.
00:52:44The Emperor gave it to you himself?
00:52:47I...
00:52:48Forget it.
00:52:49Why am I even talking to you?
00:52:52Who said you could go in?
00:52:53It's cold out here.
00:52:54I'm getting my own blanket.
00:52:55You have no right to stop me.
00:52:56Such nerve.
00:52:57This is the Royal Palace.
00:52:58Nothing here belongs to you.
00:52:59Don't think Madam Lynn can protect your every whim.
00:53:02Get out of my way.
00:53:07Clara!
00:53:10Clara!
00:53:12Are you alright?
00:53:13What?
00:53:14Who did this?
00:53:16Why is Lucas here?
00:53:17Could he be...
00:53:18You have a death wish!
00:53:20Your...
00:53:21Your Majesty!
00:53:23You're the Emperor?
00:53:29How dare you!
00:53:30This is the inner palace.
00:53:32Who let you in?
00:53:33You must not reveal...
00:53:34Your identity to her.
00:53:37I meant no offense.
00:53:39I merely saw someone getting hurt and rushed over to help.
00:53:41He's not the Emperor.
00:53:43Then why was Lucas treating him with such respect?
00:53:45Lucas, what is this all about?
00:53:50You all have it wrong.
00:53:52This guard was summoned because he looks a bit like his majesty.
00:53:55The Emperor only wished to question him.
00:53:57He is new and doesn't know the rules.
00:53:58He doesn't know the palace attendance is off limits.
00:54:00Forgive me, Madam.
00:54:01It's all my fault.
00:54:03I shouldn't have argued with Iris.
00:54:05And I worried this young guard.
00:54:06Since you know you were wrong, get out of here now.
00:54:10Thank you, Madam.
00:54:15Your Majesty!
00:54:16Just now I truly had no other choice!
00:54:22Go watch over things.
00:54:23Don't let my mother blame Clara for this.
00:54:25Yes, Your Majesty.
00:54:27Lucas!
00:54:34Madam Lynn?
00:54:35Is there something else, Lucas?
00:54:38Uh, no.
00:54:39Not at all.
00:54:39Nothing.
00:54:44As for you...
00:54:48I wonder who is backing her from the shadows.
00:54:51Fooling around with a guard is a major scandal.
00:54:53Yet Madam Watson only made her kneel.
00:54:56You've got a point.
00:54:58Even that stolen pendant business was completely swept under the rug.
00:55:03Tell me, if the Emperor finds out that someone stole his personal pendant, how will he destroy her?
00:55:18I'm still worried Mother will blame Clara.
00:55:23Then perhaps I should...
00:55:25Your Majesty, a maid is seeking an audience.
00:55:58Oh, my face!
00:56:01You foolish girl!
00:56:03What did you put in this bowl?
00:56:05I...
00:56:05I got a secret remedy from a Taoist priest.
00:56:08He said eating it will rejuvenate the skin.
00:56:12I only wanted what was best for you.
00:56:14I wasn't thinking straight.
00:56:15You dared serve someone something from an unknown source?
00:56:18What on earth were you thinking?
00:56:20I'll never do it again!
00:56:22I'll never do it again!
00:56:27Thankfully, it's just an allergic reaction, not life-threatening.
00:56:29But these rashes on your face won't clear up anytime soon.
00:56:32Guards!
00:56:33Drag her away!
00:56:35Sell her off to a slave trader!
00:56:37Madam!
00:56:38Please spare me!
00:56:46Madam, please let me try to help.
00:56:49You?
00:56:49I have studied medical texts.
00:56:51A special herbal formula might be able to soothe the rashes on your face.
00:56:55If my remedy works, I beg you to spare Jenny's life.
00:57:04The Emperor has been ignoring me for a very long time.
00:57:08Yet he finds time for the palace attendance.
00:57:11Who exactly is staying there to keep him so distracted?
00:57:16It wasn't me!
00:57:18I wouldn't dare seduce the Emperor, even if my life depended on it!
00:57:22Wait, I remember now someone in the palace attendance actually has that kind of audacity!
00:57:28Clara Shaw.
00:57:30If she is led to believe that you are the one seducing the Emperor,
00:57:33let's see how you survive her wrath.
00:57:37You only need to wait 12 hours, Madam.
00:57:40The rash on your face will be gone.
00:57:44It looks a bit hideous.
00:57:46But it seems the rash has faded a bit.
00:57:49I suppose you do have some skill.
00:57:52Thank you for your kind words.
00:58:04If it weren't for you today, you can hit me or yell at me.
00:58:08I'll take it.
00:58:09Why would I yell at you?
00:58:12So you forgive me?
00:58:14I guess you're not so bad.
00:58:16You just have a vicious tongue.
00:58:22Your Majesty.
00:58:23I believe the Emperor's desire to marry Lady Clara is not some reckless whim.
00:58:29Lady Clara is indeed quite remarkable.
00:58:51You're the one seducing the Emperor.
00:58:56What a temptress.
00:58:58No wonder you can't behave.
00:58:59It's bad enough the Emperor found someone to marry outside the palace.
00:59:03But since when?
00:59:05Do you filthy worldly servants get to have such disgusting ideas?
00:59:13When did Clara ever seduce the Emperor?
00:59:17Jenny.
00:59:19Have you already forgotten how Clara treated you before?
00:59:24Clara never once started anything with me.
00:59:27You are the one looking for a fight.
00:59:31Jenny.
00:59:35Do you have any idea who I am?
00:59:37Acting so recklessly in my presence.
00:59:39Standing before you is the Prime Minister's daughter.
00:59:42Lady Wendy.
00:59:43She is chosen by the Empress Dowager to be Empress.
00:59:46You mindless fool.
00:59:48How dare you cross Lady Wendy.
00:59:51As the Prime Minister's daughter, you must be reasonable.
00:59:54I truly never did anything to seduce the Emperor.
00:59:57Please let us go.
00:59:59Let you go?
01:00:01Iris told me you not only seduced the Emperor, but also threw yourself at guards.
01:00:05I didn't.
01:00:07Scar her face!
01:00:16Stop!
01:00:18The palace attendants belong to the Harem.
01:00:21Since when is it your place to interfere?
01:00:24An old hag like you dares to raise her voice to me?
01:00:29What?
01:00:30How dare you?
01:00:31Lady Wendy.
01:00:32The harem is ruled by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
01:00:34Punishing servants on your own violates palace regulations.
01:00:37Please show some mercy, Lady Wendy.
01:00:41The Emperor and I are childhood sweethearts, and I am the only choice for Empress.
01:00:45This entire harm will be mine sooner or later.
01:00:48What does it matter if I destroy a worthless mate?
01:00:50Ridiculous!
01:00:52You're nothing but a lowly servant yourself.
01:00:55If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never learn your place.
01:00:58Hold this old hag down for me.
01:01:00Iris, how dare you?
01:01:04I never knew you were so wicked.
01:01:06I was completely blind about you.
01:01:19A disfigured old hag of a slave?
01:01:22Putting on royal heirs?
01:01:24He must have a death wish.
01:01:26But you still don't know what you did wrong?
01:01:28What did I do wrong?
01:01:31You can only blame your lowly birth.
01:01:34Destined to be mere servants in the palace.
01:01:37Defying your masters as asking to die.
01:01:40What?
01:01:41Bring me my whip.
01:01:44As the head of the palace attendants, you let your mate seduce the Emperor.
01:01:48Like master, like servant, your crime is unforgivable!
01:01:58Next month marks the return of our annual spring gala.
01:02:01All the high nobility of the realm will be attending.
01:02:03We must prepare flawlessly.
01:02:05Rest assured, I will spare no effort, your majesty.
01:02:10You insolent servant!
01:02:11How dare you to serve his majesty!
01:02:13Do you admit your guilt?
01:02:14His majesty?
01:02:15Your majesty!
01:02:17Greetings, your majesty!
01:02:18I beg you to return to the palace attendants and save Clara Shaw.
01:02:21What did you say?
01:02:23Clara is in danger.
01:02:34Lady Wendy is after me.
01:02:36I cannot let you be punished for absolutely no reason.
01:02:43How touching!
01:02:44Since you love playing the martyr, I will gladly grant your wish!
01:02:48Enough, Wendy Saint!
01:02:49I advise you not to push this too far!
01:02:52Or else...
01:02:53Still planning on royal heirs?
01:02:54You arrogant, brainless slave!
01:02:56I will teach you your place today on behalf of the crown!
01:02:59Stop!
01:03:04Your majesty!
01:03:06Wendy Zane, do you have any idea who you are striking?
01:03:10Greetings, your majesty!
01:03:12Greetings, your majesty!
01:03:14How could she be the Emperor's dagger?
01:03:20Greetings, your majesty!
01:03:25How could this be?
01:03:26The Empress Dowager was merely testing you.
01:03:28But look at you!
01:03:29So arrogant and presumptuous!
01:03:31You actually dared to insult the Empress Dowager herself!
01:03:34Your majesty!
01:03:35I didn't mean to do it!
01:03:36I beg you to play with your mother on my behalf!
01:03:39Your majesty?
01:03:44I believe this is a grave matter.
01:03:45It directly insults her majesty's dignity.
01:03:47Please judge this carefully, your majesty.
01:03:49Me?
01:03:49Me?
01:03:58Exactly!
01:03:59You!
01:04:01Your majesty?
01:04:02You still refuse to admit your fault?
01:04:04I admit my fault, your majesty!
01:04:06I should never have ranted so shamelessly before you!
01:04:08None of those words reflected my true intent!
01:04:10It is all this maid's fault!
01:04:12She claimed a maid was seducing the Emperor, which was why I lost my temper!
01:04:15Lady Wendy?
01:04:16You were the one who ordered!
01:04:17Silence!
01:04:18If this wretched slave hadn't manipulated me, how could I have made such a terrible mistake?
01:04:23Your majesty!
01:04:24I am innocent!
01:04:26Innocent, my foot!
01:04:27You instigated us to torment Clara!
01:04:30You also spread the rumor about the Emperor!
01:04:32How dare you, Jenny!
01:04:33Kicking me while I'm down!
01:04:34That's enough!
01:04:38The maid, Iris, has spread malicious rumors and violated palace laws!
01:04:42Drag her out and sell her off immediately!
01:04:44Please show mercy, your majesty!
01:04:45I'm truly innocent!
01:04:46Clara Shaw!
01:04:47I saw you flirting with that young guard!
01:04:50I didn't make up any rumors!
01:04:53I didn't make up any rumors!
01:04:54So, you're the eldest Shaw daughter!
01:05:10Clara!
01:05:13Luke!
01:05:14The Empress Dowager didn't punish you, right?
01:05:16Of course not!
01:05:17She wanted to discuss the Spring Gala with me!
01:05:20She asked for my opinion!
01:05:23That's a relief!
01:05:28What is it?
01:05:31Clara passed the test!
01:05:35In that case, can I finally tell her the truth and make her my Empress?
01:05:40There is no need to rush the coronation!
01:05:42The Spring Gala is next month, and the Ministry of Rights is too busy to organize another grand event!
01:05:47Besides, it's a far too sudden!
01:05:49I'm worried the court officials will object!
01:05:57Then I suggest we let Clara put her in charge of the Spring Gala!
01:06:02If she manages to pull off this banquet, it will not only prove her worth,
01:06:06but also silence anyone who opposes her title!
01:06:10Empress Dowager wants you to run the Spring Gala!
01:06:13Me?
01:06:15But I wouldn't know where to start!
01:06:17Don't worry!
01:06:17With your talents, you are more than capable!
01:06:20I will back you up from the shadows!
01:06:29Move your lazy asses!
01:06:30If anyone tries to slack off, my whip won't show any mercy!
01:06:39Useless!
01:06:39Do you still think you're some wealthy lady?
01:06:41You're in the discipline ward now!
01:06:43No one slacks off on my watch!
01:06:52Clara Shaw, this is all your fault!
01:06:55Get in there!
01:06:56Get your hands off me!
01:06:57I'm the Prime Minister's daughter!
01:06:58You better show me some respect!
01:07:00The Prime Minister's daughter?
01:07:02In my past life, Amos was promoted by the Empress Dowager during the Spring Gala!
01:07:06If I can get out of this hellhole and ensure Amos shows up at the Spring Gala,
01:07:09we will definitely turn the tables!
01:07:15What a shithole!
01:07:16I can't believe I have to do my own laundry!
01:07:19Lady Wendy, I have a favor to ask!
01:07:21Ask me for help?
01:07:22And why would I help you?
01:07:25If I weren't in this mess, you wouldn't even be allowed to speak to me!
01:07:32My sister Clara Shaw is the reason I'm locked up here!
01:07:35If you're willing to help me escape, I will do anything to repay you!
01:07:40Clara Shaw?
01:07:44Very well done!
01:07:45The event schedule is crystal clear!
01:07:47You clearly put your heart into it!
01:07:52Leaving this Gala to you, it turns out to be an excellent choice!
01:07:56Your Majesty Disasterous Strug!
01:07:58The Discipline Ward has caught fire!
01:07:59What?
01:08:02Lyra, come with me immediately to the Discipline Ward!
01:08:16Excuse me, mate.
01:08:17What's the situation inside?
01:08:18Fire raised the entire yard!
01:08:20Nearly half of the prisoners didn't make it out alive!
01:08:22But Wendy have already...
01:08:28Your Majesty!
01:08:30Greetings, Your Majesty!
01:08:31Greetings, Your Majesty!
01:08:33At least you're alive!
01:08:34At least I can face your father now!
01:08:37I have realized my mistake!
01:08:39Please spare me for my punishment!
01:08:40I swear, I cannot survive another day here!
01:08:43Fine!
01:08:44Given your defiant nature, keeping you locked up here is completely pointless anyway!
01:08:49I also beg Your Majesty to grant a reward to Erica Shaw!
01:08:53I only survived as horrific fire because she risked her life to save me!
01:08:56I recall Erica and Clara are sisters!
01:08:59Clara, how should I reward her?
01:09:01Erica is indeed my sister!
01:09:03But we were never close growing up!
01:09:05Our bond is quite shallow!
01:09:07I shouldn't interfere with her fate!
01:09:08I leave it entirely to your judgment!
01:09:11Your Majesty!
01:09:12I believe Erica has a good heart!
01:09:14Her past crimes might be a misunderstanding!
01:09:17Very well!
01:09:18She's been in the discipline ward for quite some time now!
01:09:21I suppose she has changed a little!
01:09:23Then she may leave the discipline ward for now!
01:09:26Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!
01:09:29Wendy say!
01:09:30I may have waived your hard labor, but I never said you are free!
01:09:34Next month, we finalize a political marriage with the Northern Steppers you shall go!
01:09:39What?
01:09:40A political marriage?
01:09:41You refuse?
01:09:43Or perhaps you'd prefer to run the discipline ward?
01:09:45No, Your Majesty!
01:09:47I will obey!
01:09:50Prepare my carriage!
01:09:52Your Majesty!
01:09:53I would like a word with my sister!
01:09:58Clara Shaw!
01:10:00You didn't just ruin our parents and the Miller family!
01:10:02You also made me suffer like a dog in that living hell!
01:10:05I'll make you pay for everything!
01:10:07It seems you've already forgotten the agonizing pain from your wounds!
01:10:10If you hadn't constantly crossed me, you would never have ended up like this!
01:10:14In here, I thought you'd actually become a phoenix!
01:10:17Turns out you're still just a pheasant!
01:10:19It seems!
01:10:20The Emperor hasn't given you a title yet!
01:10:22What are you implying?
01:10:26Cut the act!
01:10:28Weren't you with the-
01:10:29Lady Clara, Lady Clara, the Empress Dowager wants you gone at once!
01:10:33She still has instructions for you!
01:10:39Clara Shaw, let's see how long you can keep this up!
01:10:43Please just let me out, Henry!
01:10:44Being locked up in this manor all day will drive me insane sooner or later!
01:10:48How dare you even complain!
01:10:49If you and Erika hadn't been so utterly stupid, we wouldn't have offended the Emperor!
01:10:53I wouldn't have lost my title either!
01:10:55If you ask me, it's all that bitch Erika's fault!
01:10:58Amos!
01:10:59What are you doing back?
01:11:01The Empress Dowager has awaited my punishment!
01:11:03I'm out of the Discipline Ward!
01:11:04You ruined our family!
01:11:05You got some nerve!
01:11:06Henry, the person who truly ruined you is Clara!
01:11:09Stop blaming each other!
01:11:11We should find a way to crush Clara!
01:11:12Clara Shaw?
01:11:13She's probably already become an Imperial Consort!
01:11:16How can we possibly fight her?
01:11:17In the Discipline Ward, I saw her once!
01:11:20Clara Shaw is just a lowly palismaine now!
01:11:22She's no threat at all!
01:11:24A palismaine?
01:11:25Did the Emperor marry her on a reckless whim?
01:11:28If His Majesty truly loved her, he would never let her work as a slave!
01:11:31I already have a plan!
01:11:33The Spring Gala is early next month!
01:11:34All the Royals and Nobles will be invited to the palace to attend!
01:11:37This is our only chance!
01:11:39The Spring Gala?
01:11:39Our family is also on the guest list!
01:11:41Does that mean I can attend too?
01:11:44Those attending the gala are all high nobility!
01:11:47No one must make any mistakes!
01:11:48Oh, stop worrying!
01:11:49Every single detail has been verified by you several times!
01:11:52Everything will be fine!
01:11:53I hope so!
01:12:03Mmm, this is delicious!
01:12:05Eat all you want!
01:12:06The palace has plenty!
01:12:07It's a good thing it is held in such a secluded location with no patrols around!
01:12:11Otherwise, we'd never be able to meet out in the open like this!
01:12:14Clara!
01:12:18When this banquet is over, I have something to tell you!
01:12:22Alright!
01:12:22Then I'll wait for you here!
01:12:29Look over there, Amos!
01:12:35It's Clara Shaw!
01:12:37She's actually fooling around with a guard!
01:12:42It's your shift today!
01:12:44You should go now!
01:12:47Wait for me!
01:12:56You truly can't survive without a man!
01:13:01Lady Clara, have you forgotten your brother-in-law?
01:13:05What's this?
01:13:06Abandoned by the Emperor?
01:13:07So you threw yourself out of guard?
01:13:10This is the royal palace!
01:13:12You won't be coddled here!
01:13:13This isn't the Shaw Manor!
01:13:14Your every move is watched by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager!
01:13:17You two were just released?
01:13:19And you've forgotten your lesson?
01:13:21Amos and I are esteemed guests invited to this banquet!
01:13:24But you are nothing but a worthless maid!
01:13:27If the nobility is pleased, you get a scrap!
01:13:29If they're not, no one gives a damn if you drop dead!
01:13:33What do you think you're doing?
01:13:40Erika Shaw!
01:13:41Haven't you hurt me enough already?
01:13:44As long as you're miserable, I'm happy.
01:13:49You only survived back at the manor because of your dumb luck.
01:13:54Now absolutely no one is here to protect you.
01:13:57Greetings, Your Majesty!
01:14:08Greetings, Your Majesty!
01:14:13Clara, thank you for your hard work on the palace banquet!
01:14:20It was my duty.
01:14:22It was no trouble at all.
01:14:24Your Majesty!
01:14:25I have a matter to report!
01:14:27Speak!
01:14:28I wish to denounce Clara for fooling around with the guard!
01:14:31I saw it with my own eyes!
01:14:32Clara and the guard were completely inseparable.
01:14:34They even tried to hide it when they got caught.
01:14:36They are this brazen!
01:14:37Behind closed doors, who knows what scandals they commit!
01:14:42I admit I have been seeing a guard, but we did nothing as disgraceful as they claim.
01:14:47Before we entered the palace, we had already fallen for each other.
01:14:49Our meetings here are rare and brief.
01:14:51If you weren't guilty, why did you scramble to leave the moment you saw us?
01:14:55Affairs are a capital offense.
01:14:56You can put me to death, but I beg you to show mercy and spare the guard's life.
01:15:00I was the one who asked to see him!
01:15:06Ultimately, it's clear that neither of you is innocent.
01:15:10I request your Majesty to seize that guard and execute them both.
01:15:14Please execute both of them to restore order to the harem!
01:15:21The palace regulations forbid any involvement between maids and guards.
01:15:25However, Clara put her entire heart into organizing this banquet.
01:15:29Her service that weighs her fault, which is why I shall waive her punishment.
01:15:32Hmm?
01:15:36Clara, you may go back to your duties.
01:15:39Yes.
01:15:40Yes.
01:15:48She got away with it again.
01:15:50How is Clara Shaw so lucky?
01:15:52First, the Emperor was protecting her, and now she's favored by the Empress Dowager.
01:15:55She was even given full charge of the Spring Gala.
01:15:57Since Clara is running this entire Spring Gala, it's easier for us.
01:16:01Your Majesty, the banquet is up, but where are you going?
01:16:03The banquet is starting soon.
01:16:05Go change!
01:16:05The banquet awaits!
01:16:06In second thought, I truly feel I must tell Clara the whole truth before it's too late.
01:16:10Go quickly and fetch Clara.
01:16:11Tell her to meet me where we just were.
01:16:13But...
01:16:17What is it?
01:16:17You've done a fantastic job.
01:16:19The nobility is full of praise for how wonderfully the Scala was running.
01:16:22Even the Empress Dowager looked immensely pleased.
01:16:24That's good.
01:16:25Someone is waiting for you in the courtyard.
01:16:27Go on, hurry.
01:16:28Who is it?
01:16:29Who is it?
01:16:31Assassin, protect the Empress Dowager!
01:16:35What happened inside?
01:16:36The assassin disguised as a dancer attacked the Empress Dowager.
01:16:39Fortunately, Lord Aimless took a blade for her Majesty.
01:16:42The assassin got away.
01:16:43What?
01:16:46Take her away.
01:16:49What are you doing?
01:16:50The Empress Dowager was attacked.
01:16:52We are ordered to arrest you and bring you to the High Court for trial.
01:17:04I'm Clara Shaw.
01:17:05Greetings, Prime Minister.
01:17:07Prime Minister?
01:17:07She was the one in full charge of this entire gala.
01:17:10The palace is heavily guarded.
01:17:11Ordinary people cannot possibly enter.
01:17:13Clara must be conspiring with the assassins.
01:17:15The one who ruined Wendy's life is also this Clara Shaw.
01:17:18Hmm, how dare you.
01:17:19You pledged assassins to murder the Empress Dowager.
01:17:22What is your treasonous motive?
01:17:24Every performer was thoroughly vetted.
01:17:25How the assassin got in, I truly don't know.
01:17:28Please, give me some time.
01:17:29I'll find out.
01:17:30Of course you wouldn't know.
01:17:30Right before the gala, you were sneaking around with the guard.
01:17:33You obviously never cared about Her Majesty's safety at all.
01:17:36What?
01:17:37Is this true?
01:17:38I can testify to that.
01:17:39That guard is still in the courtyard.
01:17:41It does!
01:17:41Seize that guard immediately!
01:17:43I demand an interrogation!
01:17:51Is that him?
01:17:53That's him exactly.
01:18:02Prime Minister, we have brought the man.
01:18:06Luke.
01:18:08Hmm, Clara Shaw, do you admit your guilt?
01:18:10I honestly knew nothing about it.
01:18:12Please, Prime Minister, just give me some time.
01:18:14I will get to the bottom of this.
01:18:16You organized this gala with your own hands.
01:18:18Trying to wash your hands of it now?
01:18:20Too late.
01:18:21The outside assassins infiltrated the bank with his dancers.
01:18:24This was clearly premediated.
01:18:26Regardless of whether she clanked them or not.
01:18:28He compromised Her Majesty's safety for that she must die.
01:18:30I never did!
01:18:31Prime Minister, please sentence them both.
01:18:34Please, Prime Minister.
01:18:36The security breach is my responsibility.
01:18:38Please do not implicate anyone else.
01:18:39If my husband hadn't reacted quickly and taken a blade for Her Majesty,
01:18:42not even ten of your heads would be enough to save you.
01:18:45I...
01:18:46Enough!
01:18:46Clara Shaw fooled around with a guard and risked Her Majesty's safety.
01:18:51Execute them both!
01:18:52Prime Minister, I beg you to retract the order!
01:18:56Prime Minister, I beg you to protect Her Majesty's safety.
01:18:56Luke, it's all my fault I got you into this.
01:19:00Clara Shaw, let's see you get out of this one.
01:19:09I'd like to see who dares to touch her.
01:19:13Your...
01:19:14Your Majesty!
01:19:16Long live Your Majesty!
01:19:24How could this be?
01:19:26Clara, I'm sorry.
01:19:28I lied to you.
01:19:30Greetings, Your Majesty!
01:19:32Long live the Emperor!
01:19:35Clara, I...
01:19:36Your Majesty!
01:19:37What on earth is going on?
01:19:38How dare you!
01:19:40You blindly trust a one-sided story, jump to conclusions, and sentence an innocent soul to death.
01:19:44With actions like these, how do you deserve to serve the crown?
01:19:48If I'm not mistaken, arresting me here was your idea, wasn't it?
01:19:52Seeing the Empress Dowager in peril, I acted out of pure desperation.
01:19:55I had no idea the man with Clara was indeed Your Majesty.
01:19:58Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
01:19:59I would never dare deceive you.
01:20:01My absolute loyalty to you is absolute...
01:20:03You're always working against Clara.
01:20:05If I weren't standing here today, you would have succeeded.
01:20:07That's not true.
01:20:08I never meant to harm Clara.
01:20:10I was merely terrified for the Empress Dowager's safety,
01:20:13which was why I lost my composure.
01:20:14Prime Minister, you know this.
01:20:15I truly didn't...
01:20:16That's enough, Erica.
01:20:17Don't say another word.
01:20:19Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is handling this assassination attempt.
01:20:23I request your judgment to punish Clara Shaw.
01:20:25The truth hasn't been uncovered yet.
01:20:27What makes you so sure it was Clara?
01:20:29As the individual in charge of the Spring Gala,
01:20:31Clara allowed assassins to infiltrate the palace and strike the Empress Dowager.
01:20:35Her crime is punishable by death.
01:20:37Please decree immediately to the High Court for severe interrogation.
01:20:40The Prime Minister is right.
01:20:41If my husband hadn't been here today, the Empress Dowager might not have survived.
01:20:45Your Majesty, my own safety is not important.
01:20:47But if Clara Shaw is left unpunished, who will secure the palace?
01:20:51Should such a horror strike again, I beg you to execute Clara Shaw.
01:20:56Amos Miller, look at you.
01:20:57You actually dare to force my hand.
01:21:01What if I can provide proof that Clara is innocent?
01:21:04Then what crime will you be guilty of?
01:21:06That's impossible.
01:21:11That's impossible.
01:21:13Hunter Zane, I'm asking you a question.
01:21:18If I have wrongly accused Clara Shaw today,
01:21:22then I will gladly accept the same punishment.
01:21:25Very well.
01:21:26Guards, bring him in.
01:21:33Your Majesty is wise.
01:21:35By your Imperial decree, I planted spies.
01:21:38The Assassin's been caught.
01:21:40Mercy, Your Majesty.
01:21:41The plot against Empress Dowager was masterminded by Erica and Amos.
01:21:45I was forced to do it.
01:21:46What?
01:21:47This is...
01:21:49It's all over.
01:21:53Hunter, don't think that I am blind to the fact that you only did this to avenge your daughter,
01:21:57Wendy.
01:21:57Since you wanted Clara dead, I shall grant you the same fate.
01:22:00Guards!
01:22:01Take him away!
01:22:02Your Majesty!
01:22:03I have served this empire faithfully for decades!
01:22:06Your Majesty!
01:22:06How can you treat me like this?
01:22:08As for the rest of you, you blindly trusted a one-sided story, jumped to conclusions, and implicated the innocent.
01:22:13How do you deserve to serve the crown?
01:22:14Your Majesty, we were wrong.
01:22:15You are all docked three months' pay.
01:22:17If this happens again, I will show no mercy.
01:22:20Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty.
01:22:22Now, as for the two of you...
01:22:23Mercy, Your Majesty!
01:22:24It was her terrible idea!
01:22:26You're lying.
01:22:27Your Majesty, I was only jealous of my sister Clara.
01:22:29I never meant to harm the Empress Dowager.
01:22:31The assassination plot was all Amos' idea.
01:22:33Even taking the blade for her was a stage performance.
01:22:35You witch!
01:22:36How dare you seal me out!
01:22:37That's enough!
01:22:38The ringleaders, Amos and Erika, must be executed immediately.
01:22:42Lock the performer in the high court until sentencing.
01:22:45Mercy, Your Majesty!
01:22:46Mercy, Your Majesty!
01:22:47Mercy!
01:22:49Wait!
01:22:57Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to spare Erika from execution.
01:23:01Why is that?
01:23:02She has tried to harm me repeatedly.
01:23:05If she gets to die a quick death, it would be far too easy on her.
01:23:08Clara Shaw, how could you do this to me?
01:23:10I hate you!
01:23:11If it weren't for you, all of this should have been mine!
01:23:16You're wrong.
01:23:17The one who ruined your life wasn't me.
01:23:18It was yourself.
01:23:20You've ruined me!
01:23:20Your fate today is entirely your own doing.
01:23:23Very well.
01:23:24Erika shall be stripped to a common slave, exiled to the southern marshes, and banned from the capital forever.
01:23:29I won't leave!
01:23:30I refuse to go there!
01:23:31I am supposed to be a title lady!
01:23:33I am supposed to be the most powerful woman in the world!
01:23:38Clara.
01:23:39So what's your real name?
01:23:42Lucian Hale.
01:23:44Lucian Hale.
01:23:45Now that the guilty have been punished,
01:23:48Your Majesties, you two are finally meant to be.
01:23:51Your Majesties?
01:23:54From this day forward, I crown you as my empress.
01:24:16Let the grand coronation begin!
01:24:19Let the grand coronation begin!
01:24:34Long live the emperor ever!
01:24:38You may all rise.
01:24:43Clara, from this day on you are my wife.
01:24:46I am dissolving the royal court and this harem shall have only one ruler.
01:24:49That ruler is you, my empress, Clara Shaw.
01:24:52I am for you, my Lord.
01:24:55I am the one and the one and the one may be.
01:24:56My father is a believer in my house.
