00:00:07To be continued...
00:00:30Whoever secures the highest status husband
00:00:32Will be the family hero
00:00:34Baby, mummy knows you will marry
00:00:36Much better than Julia
00:00:38Sister, let me go first
00:00:43Gaius
00:00:45We've been in love for two years
00:00:47He promised he would only catch my wreath today
00:00:55Throw it to me, Miss Chloe Quinteria
00:00:57I love you
00:00:58Miss Chloe Quinteria
00:00:59Gaius, what is he doing?
00:01:01We had a pact
00:01:04Throw it to me, Miss Chloe Quinteria
00:01:07Gaius, catch it
00:01:13Magnificent
00:01:14The eldest son of the elite
00:01:16Foolious family
00:01:17Oh dear sister
00:01:18Gaius caught my wreath
00:01:20I guess he prefers me
00:01:21No, this can't be right
00:01:22No, this can't be right
00:01:23Gaius and I made a promise
00:01:23He said he would marry me
00:01:25Chloe
00:01:26You are truly my pride and joy
00:01:32Darling
00:01:32I will give you the grandest imperial wedding
00:01:35The empire has ever seen
00:01:40Gaius, don't you owe me an explanation?
00:01:43I'm the one you're dating
00:01:46Sorry, Julia
00:01:47You have no maternal backing
00:01:49And your father doesn't value you
00:01:51I have to marry your stepsister
00:01:53Then what were the last two years for?
00:01:56Sister, isn't it obvious?
00:01:58Gaius is just playing with you
00:01:59Now the men below are still waiting for your wreath
00:02:01Who knows?
00:02:02Maybe even the emperor is down there
00:02:08Your majesty
00:02:09You've been undercover as a beggar
00:02:11For three months
00:02:11To expose the noble's crimes
00:02:17Let the Praetorian guard handle the rest
00:02:22There's evidence I must secure some person
00:02:24Besides
00:02:24Being out here is a perfect way
00:02:26To judge my mother's marriage demands
00:02:27Two birds, one stone
00:02:36Don't go
00:02:37Your destiny is right down there
00:02:56Look!
00:02:57Quintius' oldest daughter has chosen a beggar
00:03:08A rich eyeless picking a beggar at a wreath ceremony
00:03:11This is going to be quite the show
00:03:15How did that handmade Ruth end up on a beggar's head?
00:03:19Sister, talk about bad luck
00:03:21Of all people you picked a beggar
00:03:23How is father ever going to show his face again?
00:03:25You useless girl
00:03:26Out of all these people you threw it to a beggar
00:03:29You're doing this just to humiliate me
00:03:34Well, don't be discouraged, sister
00:03:35You'll be poor
00:03:36But I'm sure he's an expert at scavenging leftovers
00:03:38At least you won't starve
00:03:41A grand lady marrying a beggar
00:03:43Surely Mr. Quintius will go back on his words
00:03:47If she doesn't marry him
00:03:49Your word is worth nothing
00:03:50You'll be finished in this city
00:03:52Marry him! Marry him!
00:03:55Marry him!
00:04:06You winchurch!
00:04:07Are you trying to run away from the engagement?
00:04:14Your majesty
00:04:14Why did you catch it?
00:04:16This means a binding marriage contract
00:04:18Toss it quickly
00:04:19It's fine
00:04:20I'm poor and filthy right now
00:04:21A highborn lady like her
00:04:22Would never actually agree to marry me
00:04:24Why are you running?
00:04:25You threw the wreath yourself
00:04:26No one forced you
00:04:27You rebellious girl
00:04:28Look at this beggar you've been scaled
00:04:30If you marry him
00:04:31Our family will be the laughing stock of the empire
00:04:33After today's feast
00:04:35I've finally seen these so-called nobles
00:04:37For the hypocrites they are
00:04:38I'd rather marry a commoner
00:04:40And escape the schemes
00:04:41Than spend my life as a pawn
00:04:43For noble alliances
00:04:45Julia
00:04:45The law of the wreath is absolute
00:04:48If it lands on him
00:04:49You must marry him
00:04:50Even if he is a beggar
00:04:59I am willing to marry this gentleman
00:05:07My name is Julia Quintilia
00:05:09What is yours?
00:05:11My name is Marcus Aurelius
00:05:13Marcus Aurelius
00:05:14Why does that name sound so familiar?
00:05:17It's a common name
00:05:18Rome is full of them
00:05:19There's nothing strange about it
00:05:22Let everyone witness
00:05:24I take this man as my husband
00:05:28You truly have no regrets
00:05:30I have nothing
00:05:31I am a wanderer with no hope
00:05:33I do
00:05:34We both have hands and feet
00:05:36We can build our own future
00:05:37If we work hard and find jobs
00:05:39We will be just fine
00:05:40I've never met a girl
00:05:41So easily satisfied
00:05:42It's a pity
00:05:43I cannot tell her who I truly am just yet
00:05:45I promise you
00:05:46I will never fail you
00:05:47Enough
00:05:47Treating a beggar like a prize
00:05:49You are throwing your entire future away
00:05:50A future isn't built on status
00:05:52But on character and virtue
00:05:53He may be dressed in rags
00:05:54But he lacks the arrogance
00:05:55And hypocrisy of the nobility
00:05:56I believe he will be a good husband
00:05:58Worthy of my life
00:05:59She must marry him
00:06:00You said whoever was hit must marry
00:06:02If you break your word
00:06:03No one will ever trust the Quintius family again
00:06:06Yes
00:06:07She must marry him
00:06:08No backing out now
00:06:09Julia
00:06:09If you insist on marry this beggar
00:06:11I won't spend a single con your wedding
00:06:13Very well father
00:06:16Soon I will be a noble lady
00:06:18While you will be a beggar's wife
00:06:20From this day forward
00:06:21You are beneath me
00:06:22Being a beggar's wife isn't scary
00:06:24What's scary is sharing a bed
00:06:26With a soul that isn't yours
00:06:27Gaius is ripped
00:06:28But he's a calculator
00:06:29You'd better watch your own back
00:06:41Then
00:06:42We shall hold our wedding
00:06:43At the temple in three days
00:06:47My mother is obsessed
00:06:48With getting me married anyway
00:06:50So why not?
00:06:52Good
00:06:53I will be there
00:07:03The two Quintius daughters are marrying today
00:07:06But look at the difference
00:07:07It's insane
00:07:08It's more than that
00:07:09The younger one married a relative of the emperor
00:07:11And will live in luxury
00:07:12The eldest married a beggar
00:07:14And will only know suffering
00:07:21Sister
00:07:22Why are you here alone?
00:07:23Where's your husband?
00:07:25Did even that beggar dump you?
00:07:29He didn't seem like the type to break his word
00:07:32I'm here
00:07:41Who is this?
00:07:42He's more radiant than the nobles of the senate
00:07:49Forgive me, Julia
00:07:50I kept you waiting
00:07:51Are you
00:07:53Are you Marcus the beggar?
00:08:02What?
00:08:05That's no beggar
00:08:06He's an absolute stunner
00:08:08With incredible class
00:08:09They look so perfect together
00:08:11I'm obsessed
00:08:12He's not rich
00:08:13Yet he dressed with such care for our wedding
00:08:15I was right about him
00:08:16He's a man I can trust with my life
00:08:18Do something
00:08:19I won't let a beggar outshine me
00:08:31This sapphire
00:08:32Is a full five carats
00:08:35Worth ten million asses
00:08:41It is the symbol of my undying love for you
00:08:49This ring was a gift from the god Jupiter himself
00:08:52My ancestors told me I must personally place it on the finger of my true wife
00:08:58A gift from a god?
00:08:59A beggar meeting a god?
00:09:01You probably found that in a woodshed
00:09:04This is a holy temple
00:09:05How dare you present such rush before the gods?
00:09:08You are a disgrace to the Quinterius name
00:09:11This is supposed to be a legitimate marriage contract
00:09:13And you bring this?
00:09:15Julia, aren't you absolutely humiliated?
00:09:19Marriage is about the connection of souls
00:09:21Not the price of a ring
00:09:22I have chosen Marcus as my husband
00:09:24And nothing you say can change my heart
00:09:26Silence!
00:09:27Haven't you brought enough shame to this family?
00:09:29Don't waste your help on such an ungrateful daughter
00:09:31She'll be living in squabby with this fregge soon enough
00:09:33Then she'll realize just how catastrophic her mistake was
00:09:36Next we seal the union of Miss Julia Quintalia and
00:09:40Wait
00:09:42Augustus?
00:09:45Are you
00:09:47Emperor Augustus?
00:09:55May the god Jupiter bless you both with eternal happiness
00:10:01Mr. Quintius
00:10:02You are truly fortunate
00:10:04Your daughter has climbed a very tall tree indeed
00:10:09Of course
00:10:10My Chloe deserves nothing less than the best
00:10:13Some people don't even have a real wedding ring
00:10:15They just have scrap wood
00:10:17Unlike me with this priceless sapphire
00:10:23Just endure it
00:10:24You must have eaten too much lately
00:10:26Your fingers are too fat
00:10:28Damn it!
00:10:29Didn't you say this was custom made?
00:10:31You may now seal your vows with a kiss
00:10:35May I?
00:10:37In the name of Jupiter
00:10:39You are now husband and wife
00:10:46In the name of Jupiter
00:10:47In the name of Jupiter
00:11:12Julia, I will never let you get away with this.
00:11:18Where are you taking me?
00:11:20To our home.
00:11:23Are we moving in together?
00:11:25Of course.
00:11:27From this day on, you are my one and only wife.
00:11:32My lord.
00:11:35Damon.
00:11:36Forgive me, master.
00:11:38We found a place that fits your destitute commoner disguise, but...
00:11:41The rat infestate is severe.
00:11:43It will take at least two days to make it habitable for you.
00:11:47What?
00:11:47But, master, we have a backup plan.
00:11:50It's much better.
00:11:54I am so sorry.
00:11:56I'll find us a proper home as soon as I can.
00:11:59Actually, I...
00:12:01Oh!
00:12:07Spending my wedding night in a tentarium?
00:12:10Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamed of sleeping under the stars.
00:12:15Thank you, Marcus.
00:12:17I know things are hard for you, yet you still did your best to give me this.
00:12:21She's a merchant's daughter, yet she's so easily satisfied.
00:12:24Her father must have been incredibly cruel to her.
00:12:31Wait.
00:12:33Why is there music playing out here in the wilderness?
00:12:39It must be a blessing from Jupiter.
00:12:42It must be a blessing from Jupiter.

00:22:58Someone help!
00:23:11His Majesty Augustus has arrived.
00:23:35Who dares bully my wife?
00:23:37Who dares bully my wife?
00:23:49Julia, I'm so sorry. I'm late.
00:23:54At least, I didn't lose your ring.
00:24:00His Majesty? Impossible! He's just a beggar!
00:24:05But look at all those guards!
00:24:07Mom! No way! He must have hired actors!
00:24:11I've only seen statues of the Emperor, but he looks exactly like them.
00:24:16Looking like him doesn't make him him. He probably stole those clothes just to save face!
00:24:22What a joke! A beggar playing dress-up at my birthday party!
00:24:26Sister, look at the trash you married. Homeless and now impersonating the Emperor?
00:24:32If His Majesty finds out, you're both dead.
00:24:35You truly have a death wish.
00:24:48You... What are you doing?
00:24:50Julia, let's go.
00:24:53What's wrong?
00:24:55Who did this?
00:25:00I did. So what?
00:25:04Who knew she'd actually crawl through thorns for a piece of wood? Bitch!
00:25:08Shut up! Who the hell do you think you are? You dare shout at me?
00:25:11I'll curse her all I want. She married a loser like you. I am Lady Fulius. If I kill you
00:25:17today, you should thank me.
00:25:18Enough acting! Guards! Arrest this beggar and Julia!
00:25:30No one insults my wife and lives. Seize them!
00:25:49Are you insane? I am Lady Fulius. You dare touch me?
00:25:57Gaius, help me.
00:25:59Whoever kills him gets a hundred thousand Sestorians.
00:26:10You stinking beggar! The Fulius family are relatives of the Emperor. How dare you!
00:26:16I dare. And I can wipe the Fulius family off the face of the earth.
00:26:22You're overacting, beggar! Let me go before I get really angry and I might spare you!
00:26:29Shove their faces into the sacred fire.
00:26:33Stop! My brother is a consular!
00:26:35You think you'll walk out of here alive?
00:26:40Since when was the consul from the Fulius family?
00:26:43Scared? Then let us go and beg for mercy!
00:26:48Hold them down.
00:26:52My brother will destroy you!
00:26:54You'll regret this beggar!
00:26:58Marcus, his brother is the consul.
00:27:00Maybe we should...
00:27:01No, Julia.
00:27:02They hurt you.
00:27:04I'm making them pay.
00:27:05My brother is a consul!
00:27:07I'll have you all killed!
00:27:08Get off me, you filthy beggar!
00:27:10I'll tear you apart!
00:27:12Stop!
00:27:13Stop!
00:27:14Brother!
00:27:15Save me!
00:27:16Help!
00:27:17Help!
00:27:18Help!
00:27:19Go get him!
00:27:24You're the one touching my brother!
00:27:28The Emperor's guard?
00:27:30Why are they here?
00:27:36It's me.
00:27:38It's me.
00:27:38It's me.
00:27:39So what?
00:27:43Your...
00:27:44Your Majesty?
00:27:48He really is!
00:27:50The Emperor!
00:27:57Augustus? No. He was a beggar. It's impossible.
00:28:02Brother! He's lying! Those clothes are stolen! Those actors are paid! It's fake!
00:28:09Yes, Mr. Isaac. You're mistaken. He's just a beggar. He can't be the Emperor exactly.
00:28:14Why would the Emperor be in this dump?
00:28:16Maybe it is a coincidence. The Emperor would never be here.
00:28:20You rebel! Look at the husband you chose! Impersonating the Emperor and offending the Senate! How will you fix this?
00:28:29This beggar almost killed someone! Don't let him go!
00:28:32In the name of the Consul, take them to the dungeon!
00:28:41My son. His Majesty. Still refuses to come home?
00:28:48I heard... he married a woman out there.
00:28:53Ridiculous! I'm bringing him back myself!
00:28:58In the name of the Consul, take them to the dungeon!
00:29:02In the name of the Consul, you're no Consul.
00:29:05You have no authority here.
00:29:10You beggar! You know nothing of the law!
00:29:13How dare you question my brother!
00:29:19Julia.
00:29:21No one can save you today.
00:29:23I can't let anything happen to my husband.
00:29:30They have the Consul.
00:29:32We have to go.
00:29:34Your wounds.
00:29:36I'm letting them go for today to save you.
00:29:39Running away?
00:29:41No chance!
00:29:43The Consul!psons!
00:29:56Step 3!
00:30:03I'll be
00:30:04right back. I'll be
00:30:05right back.
00:30:18Marka!
00:30:21Chloe!
00:30:23We share the same blood.
00:30:25How can you be so heartless?
00:30:27He tried to disfadger me first.
00:30:31I won't let you go that easily.
00:30:34You're dead!
00:30:42Don't bother!
00:30:44Your little actors are too busy to save you!
00:30:47Marcus, go! Save yourself! Just go!
00:30:50Go? He's not going anywhere.
00:30:53Why? Why won't you just leave us alone?
00:30:58You're so lucky, sister.
00:31:00Even a beggar loves you.
00:31:03The more you love him, the more I want to break you.
00:31:09Our grudge is between us! Do what you want to me, but please, let Marcus go!
00:31:16Julia, don't waste your breath.
00:31:20I can't let you pay for my life.
00:31:23How touching.
00:31:25Flirting at death's door.
00:31:27Fine.
00:31:28I'll kill you both together.
00:31:30The Emperor's daughter is here!
00:31:32She's here!
00:31:51Who dares harm my son?
00:31:55Marta Tenarus!
00:31:58Marta Tenarus!
00:32:09Our son.
00:32:11He really is the Emperor.
00:32:13Shh.
00:32:18Julia.
00:32:21Julia!
00:32:22Stay with me!
00:32:23Physician!
00:32:24Get a physician!
00:32:30Stretch her now!
00:32:36Your Majesty, Quintius' family is in custody.
00:32:39Marcus!
00:32:40You worried me to death.
00:32:42He really is the Emperor.
00:32:45Arrest the entire Quintius' family!
00:32:47Sell them into slavery!
00:32:55And you, Isaac, you're no consul.
00:32:58Who are you?
00:32:59He's just a eunuch.
00:33:02Fire him.
00:33:03And throw him in the dungeon with the rest of them.
00:33:06He really was the Emperor.
00:33:09I chose wrong.
00:33:13Mercy, Your Majesty, please!
00:33:14I was blind.
00:33:16Please, have mercy, Your Majesty.
00:33:20You didn't show Julia mercy.
00:33:22Why should I show you any?
00:33:27It can't be.
00:33:29How?
00:33:30They forced me!
00:33:32It was them!
00:33:33Please, we're relatives!
00:33:34Spare me!
00:33:42Spare me!
00:33:42Mercy, Your Majesty!
00:33:45Please!
00:33:54Go to that girl.
00:34:02Julia, you're awake.
00:34:03Are you hurt?
00:34:04I'm okay.
00:34:07Lie down.
00:34:10The physician said you need rest.
00:34:12How did we get here?
00:34:14I heard Empress.
00:34:15His Majesty.
00:34:17Who saved us?
00:34:20Break the engagement.
00:34:22She isn't right for you.
00:34:24Mother, she's different.
00:34:26She's the woman I've chosen.
00:34:27The royal family isn't simple.
00:34:29If you want her, she must pass my test.
00:34:32But you cannot tell her the truth yet.
00:34:33Mata Senna has saved us.
00:34:36Why would she save us?
00:34:38Do you know her?
00:34:39I'm just a beggar.
00:34:41She just happened to be passing by.
00:34:43Don't worry.
00:34:44I'll protect you from now on.
00:34:46She's giving us jobs in the palace.
00:34:48You as a maid, me as a guard.
00:34:50It's wonderful.
00:34:50We can save up for our own homes.
00:34:56I'm sorry, Julia.
00:34:57For keeping the truth from you.
00:34:59Forgive me.
00:35:05Miss Julia, you will be working here.
00:35:11I will come find you as soon as I am free.
00:35:14All right.
00:35:14I will work hard so we can earn money together and build our little home.
00:35:21Damon, you really should have given me some notice before bringing in a newcomer.
00:35:27Lady Liar, this is Julia.
00:35:29She's new to the palace and still learning the ropes.
00:35:31I'd appreciate it if you could look off.
00:35:33Do not let her suffer any mistreatment.
00:35:36I have much to learn.
00:35:38I would be grateful for your instruction, my lady.
00:35:40Rest assured, Damon.
00:35:42I will see to Julia personally.
00:35:44I won't have her doing menial labor.
00:35:46I shall instruct her in the proper editict myself.
00:35:50Marcus.
00:35:53Something feels wrong.
00:35:55I came here to be a maid.
00:35:58Yet why do they look at me as if I were the empress?
00:36:04Perhaps Lady Liar is simply kind-hearted towards newcomers.
00:36:07Don't overthink it.
00:36:08Just focus on your tasks.
00:36:11Julia.
00:36:12Come with me.
00:36:13I will show you how to achieve the scrolls.
00:36:16I will show you how to achieve the scrolls.
00:36:26You, new girl.
00:36:28Start by scrubbing this floor.
00:36:29If you dare to slack off, you'll regret it.
00:36:31Tasks were assigned in advance.
00:36:32Why are you shivving your duties onto me?
00:36:35We are all kneeling here scrubbing in the filth.
00:36:38Yet a newcomer gets the easy work?
00:36:41It isn't right.
00:36:42Exactly.
00:36:43Why should you receive such favor from Lady Liar?
00:36:46Ugh.
00:36:47Ugh.
00:37:05A wooden ring.
00:37:07This is the emperor's own heirloom.
00:37:09Quick.
00:37:09Find Lady Liar.
00:37:10Tell her we've caught a thief.
00:37:12I don't care about any emperor.
00:37:14This was a gift from my husband.
00:37:16Give it back.
00:37:17Your husband?
00:37:18What do you dream your husband is Augustus himself?
00:37:21You're a thief!
00:37:23Hold her down.
00:37:24Don't let her escape.
00:37:27Halt.
00:37:28All of you.
00:37:30Shh.
00:37:32Marta Senatus.
00:37:33It is far too filthy here.
00:37:35Perhaps you should return?
00:37:36I have taken this disguise to see for myself what kind of person Julia truly is.
00:37:41Remember, she must not know who I am.
00:37:45Silence!
00:37:46Silence!
00:37:49I leave for one moment and you descend into chaos.
00:37:59Lady Liar, Julia has stolen the emperor's ring.
00:38:02How can a thief be allowed in the palace?
00:38:04You must have her seized and cast out at once.
00:38:07Lady Liar, please let me explain.
00:38:09It isn't what it seems.
00:38:10The truth is...
00:38:11Enough!
00:38:11Hand over the ring!
00:38:12The ring is mine.
00:38:13I did not steal it.
00:38:15I said give it to me!
00:38:24It truly is his majesty's ring.
00:38:29This ring really is Marcus's.
00:38:32Marcus.
00:38:33He gave her something so sacred.
00:38:36She is bold enough to steal from the emperor.
00:38:39Who knows what she'll do next?
00:38:41She should be beaten to death.
00:38:43Lady Liar, please listen.
00:38:45This ring was given to me by the person I hold most dear.
00:38:48It was not stolen.
00:38:49And it certainly does not belong to the emperor.
00:38:51If it's proven that this ring belongs to Marcus, won't his identity be exposed?
00:38:57I shall keep this ring for now.
00:38:59Once the truth is revealed, it will be returned to you.
00:39:04Thanks.
00:39:04Listen well.
00:39:06This is official Dora.
00:39:08She will manage you alongside me.
00:39:10Keep to your places.
00:39:12If anyone is found ID or deceptive, you shall taste the lash.
00:39:15Yes, ma'am.
00:39:17Drauling in the palace is forbidden.
00:39:18Your punishment is latrine duty.
00:39:20You shall not eat until they are spotless.
00:39:22Yes, my lady.
00:39:33At least this will dull the stench.
00:39:35Your majesty, Lady Leora, your childhood sweetheart, is back.
00:39:39Won't you go and see her?
00:39:41Sweetheart, don't use that word for us.
00:39:44I have no heart for her.
00:39:45Leave us.
00:39:46I am going to see Julia.
00:39:48Your presence will expose my identity sooner or later.
00:40:02They have you cleaning this filth?
00:40:04This is a disgrace!
00:40:06I'm going to find whoever did this.
00:40:08I'll make them answer for it right now!
00:40:17It's fine.
00:40:18It's just a task.
00:40:20I can endure it.
00:40:22I won't stand for this.
00:40:24I'll find a way to get you away from this place as soon as possible.
00:40:30Tell me, what is the truth about that ring?
00:40:33Why do they insist it belongs to the Emperor?
00:40:35It was my father.
00:40:37He once killed a great bear with his bare hands.
00:40:39Augustus rewarded his courage by gifting him that ring.
00:40:42Oh, that explains it.
00:40:44They keep shouting about the Emperor,
00:40:46and I feared you were keeping secrets from me.
00:40:50You there.
00:40:51Since when is the palace a place for idle gossip?
00:41:04It's official, Dora!
00:41:06Go, quickly!
00:41:08Don't let her see you, or we'll be in trouble.
00:41:22Is the latrine finished?
00:41:25It is all finished, my lady.
00:41:27Then move on to the courtyard.
00:41:28I want it spossless.
00:41:30Not a single leaf must remain.
00:41:32Yes, my lady.
00:41:33Finally, it's done.
00:41:34My back is nearly breaking.
00:41:46What right do you have to throw my things?
00:41:49Newcomers sleep in the stables.
00:41:51That is the palace way.
00:41:53Get moving!
00:41:55Better hurry, before the dung piles up and you've nowhere to lie down.
00:42:00It is freezing tonight.
00:42:02How can you expect a person to sleep in the stables?
00:42:11I heard that horse, Yenna, can keep you warm.
00:42:15We aren't lying.
00:42:17These are the palace rules.
00:42:18You wouldn't dare refuse, would you?
00:42:24Why are you targeting me?
00:42:26What have I done?
00:42:28You're a thief.
00:42:30Official Dora was merciful.
00:42:31You're lucky you're going to the stables and not the dungeon.
00:42:35I am no thief.
00:42:37Stop your malicious lies.
00:42:40Not a thief?
00:42:42Next you'll say the emperor himself gave it to you.
00:42:45Look at yourself.
00:42:47You're not fit to touch his shadow.
00:42:57I just need my blanket.
00:42:59I cannot survive the night in the stables without it.
00:43:02Such bold words.
00:43:04This is the palace.
00:43:05Nothing here is yours.
00:43:06Don't think your protectors can save you from our ways.
00:43:09You're not going in.
00:43:10Out of my way.
00:43:25Julia, are you all right?
00:43:27Are you hurt?
00:43:28Stop!
00:43:29You dare raise a hand within these walls?
00:43:31Have you grown tired of living?
00:43:33Commander Damon?
00:43:35What are you doing here?
00:43:37Wait, then who is he?
00:43:42You have signed your death warrant.
00:43:44Have mercy, your majesty!
00:43:46Please, spare us!
00:43:47It wasn't intentional!
00:43:49We never meant for her to get hurt!
00:43:54You...
00:43:55You are Augustus?
00:44:01Is it true?
00:44:03Are you truly the emperor?
00:44:15Don't reveal your real identity.
00:44:22Forgive me, my lady.
00:44:24I was just passing by when I saw this girl being mistreated.
00:44:27I acted without thinking to help her.
00:44:29I meant no disrespect.
00:44:30Thank the gods.
00:44:31He's just a guard.
00:44:33He nearly scared me to death.
00:44:34But Damon, you never leave the emperor's side.
00:44:36Why are you with this common guard?
00:44:42Damon.
00:44:44What is going on here?
00:44:45Who is this man?
00:44:52Oh, oh right.
00:44:53This young guard here happens to look a bit like his majesty.
00:44:56I came to the palace specifically to question his background,
00:44:58fearing someone might impersonate the emperor and cause trouble.
00:45:01You.
00:45:02You're a new guard.
00:45:03How can you be so ignorant of the rules?
00:45:05Don't you know the palace isn't a place to wander in and out of?
00:45:08Apologize at once.
00:45:14I wouldn't dare do it again.
00:45:17It is all my fault.
00:45:19This guard was only worried about me,
00:45:20which is why he rushed in so recklessly.
00:45:22If you know you are wrong,
00:45:24then leave at once.
00:45:25Get out of my sight.
00:45:41After such a serious incident,
00:45:42official Dora didn't punish her at all?
00:45:44Talk about favoritism.
00:45:45And that business with the emperor's ring.
00:45:47It was completely hushed up too.
00:45:49I have no idea who is backing her,
00:45:50but they must be incredibly powerful.
00:45:54Tell me,
00:45:55if the real Augustus found out someone stole his ring
00:45:57and dared to impersonate him,
00:45:58what would he do?
00:45:59Would he order an immediate execution?
00:46:03Julia is a good girl.
00:46:05She is hardworking,
00:46:07steady,
00:46:08and has a pure heart.
00:46:09Mother,
00:46:09does that mean Julia has passed your test?
00:46:12I'm going to tell her the truth right now.
00:46:14I will make her the empress of Rome
00:46:15and never let her suffer another moment of grievement.
00:46:17My approval does not mean
00:46:18the nobles of the senate
00:46:19will accept a commoner
00:46:21as their empress.
00:46:24Next month is Lupergaria.
00:46:26Why not let Julia oversee
00:46:27the festival sacrifices?
00:46:28If she handles the rituals perfectly,
00:46:30it will prove she is
00:46:31the divinely chosen empress.
00:46:32It will show those nobles
00:46:33that her abilities far surpassed
00:46:34those of their pampered daughters.
00:46:36Very well.
00:46:37Give this ring back to her.
00:46:39Consider it my promise.
00:46:45Julia!
00:46:46Great news!
00:46:47Martyr Senius has decided
00:46:49to put you in charge
00:46:50of next month's Luperlaris sacrifices.
00:46:52But I don't know
00:46:52the first thing about it.
00:46:54Luperlaris is so important
00:46:55I'm afraid I'll fail.
00:46:56Don't worry.
00:46:57I have full confidence in you.
00:46:59You are more than capable.
00:47:01Besides,
00:47:02I'll be helping you
00:47:03from the shadows.
00:47:05You won't have to do it alone.
00:47:11Oh,
00:47:11and these are palace pastries.
00:47:12I saved them specifically for you.
00:47:20It's delicious!
00:47:21I've never tasted
00:47:22anything so wonderful.
00:47:24If you like them,
00:47:25I'll bring them to you often.
00:47:26Often?
00:47:26That might not be wise.
00:47:28I heard there are guards
00:47:29patrolling nearby constantly.
00:47:31We shouldn't meet so openly.
00:47:32What if someone sees us?
00:47:33Trust me,
00:47:34they won't.
00:47:35Julia,
00:47:35once the Lupergalia festival
00:47:36is over,
00:47:37wait for me in this courtyard.
00:47:38I have something
00:47:39very important to tell you.
00:47:41Okay.
00:47:48It has been three full days
00:47:50and yet not a single
00:47:51summons from His Majesty.
00:47:54Has he completely
00:47:55lost all regard for me?
00:47:58I heard
00:47:59His Majesty
00:48:00has been frequently
00:48:01visiting the servants' quarters
00:48:02to see a girl in secret.
00:48:04What?
00:48:04I am his childhood sweetheart,
00:48:06the future Empress of Rome.
00:48:08Which slit
00:48:09dares to be so bold
00:48:10as to seduce
00:48:11the Emperor
00:48:11right under my nose?
00:48:19My hand!
00:48:21You dare burn me!
00:48:24Forgive me,
00:48:25Lady Leora.
00:48:26It wasn't on purpose.
00:48:27I was just so nervous.
00:48:29Please,
00:48:29have mercy!
00:48:30Lady Leora
00:48:31is the Treasurer's daughter,
00:48:32a High Noble
00:48:33of the Senate
00:48:33and our future Empress.
00:48:35Eva has truly offended
00:48:36someone she can't
00:48:37afford to cross.
00:48:39Lupergalia is almost here.
00:48:41With my hand like this,
00:48:42how can I stand beside
00:48:43the Emperor
00:48:44for the ritual?
00:48:45How can I be worthy
00:48:46of being Empress?
00:48:48Guards!
00:48:48Take this wretch
00:48:49to the Coliseum
00:48:50and feed her to the beasts!
00:48:52Mercy!
00:48:53Lady Leora,
00:48:54please spare me!
00:48:54I'll never do it again!
00:48:56I can heal that burn
00:48:57for you!
00:49:05You?
00:49:06Who are you?
00:49:07My name is Julia.
00:49:08My father is a spice merchant,
00:49:10so I have been familiar
00:49:11with herbs
00:49:11since childhood.
00:49:12I know of a plant
00:49:14that can soothe burns.
00:49:15It is very effective.
00:49:17A merchant's daughter?
00:49:19My lady,
00:49:20why not try it?
00:49:21You have nothing to lose.
00:49:22If she fails to heal you,
00:49:23it won't be too late
00:49:24to punish her then.
00:49:32I have one request.
00:49:35I knew it!
00:49:36Fine.
00:49:37How many gold coins
00:49:38do you want?
00:49:38I want no gold.
00:49:40I only ask that
00:49:41if I heal your hand,
00:49:42you spare Eva.
00:49:44playing the Morton,
00:49:45are we?
00:49:46Fine,
00:49:47Julia,
00:49:47I agree.
00:49:48But mark my words,
00:49:49if you fail,
00:49:50your lives are forfeit,
00:49:51both of them.
00:49:56Truly doesn't hurt as much,
00:49:58and the swelling
00:49:59has gone down.
00:50:01Apply this juice
00:50:02to the wound every day
00:50:03for a few days.
00:50:04The burn will heal quickly
00:50:05without leaving a scar.
00:50:08I used to bully you constantly,
00:50:10yet today you saved my life.
00:50:13I am so sorry,
00:50:14Julia.
00:50:15Please,
00:50:16forgive me.
00:50:17The past is in the past.
00:50:20Let's not speak of it again.
00:50:23From now on,
00:50:24we shall be like sisters
00:50:25and look out for one each other.
00:50:34What?
00:50:34Julia is that lowly servant
00:50:36who's been seducing his majesty?
00:50:44My lady,
00:50:45please do not be angry.
00:50:46If his majesty truly loved her,
00:50:47why would he leave her as a mere maid?
00:50:49She is no threat to your position.
00:50:50True.
00:50:51His majesty is likely just bored
00:50:53and finds her a novelty.
00:50:56Perhaps I judged her too harshly.
00:50:58My lady,
00:50:59that Julia
00:51:00is nothing but a slut
00:51:02who seduces every man she sees.
00:51:04She is pure evil.
00:51:08I am a maid in the domestic office
00:51:10with Julia,
00:51:11and I know her better than anyone.
00:51:12Not only is she lazy,
00:51:13but she constantly flirts with the guards.
00:51:15Worse,
00:51:16she is a thief.
00:51:17She stole the emperor's own ring.
00:51:20The emperor's ring?
00:51:22You mean the wooden one?
00:51:23The one he's worn since childhood?
00:51:25The one meant for the future empress?
00:51:27Such an audacious wretch!
00:51:29Her intentions are treasonous!
00:51:30I will never let her get away with this!
00:51:32My lady,
00:51:33I heard that slut
00:51:34is in charge of organizing
00:51:36the Luperia sacrifices.
00:51:37I have a plan.
00:51:39Do you want an upper liner,
00:51:41Jorley?
00:51:42Good.
00:51:43We'll do it.
00:51:45Julia,
00:51:47Lupergarious will be the day you die!
00:52:03Be careful.
00:52:04Whatever you do,
00:52:05don't drop it.
00:52:07Julia,
00:52:07you've done a magnificent job.
00:52:09The nobles are all praising
00:52:09how well the sacrifice was organized.
00:52:11Even Matarsenius looked pleased
00:52:13and couldn't stop complimenting you.
00:52:14That is a relief.
00:52:15I'm glad I didn't fail
00:52:16the trust Matarsenius placed in me.
00:52:18I heard your little guard
00:52:20is waiting for you
00:52:21in the backyard.
00:52:21He says he has something
00:52:22important to tell you.
00:52:24Go on.
00:52:26Assassin!
00:52:27Catch the Lupergarious assassin!
00:52:29Block all exits.
00:52:30No one is allowed to leave.
00:52:31What?
00:52:31What's happening?
00:52:33How could there be
00:52:34an assassin at the sacrifice?
00:52:35Assassin disguised as a guard
00:52:37just tried to stab
00:52:38Lady Leora,
00:52:39the treasurer's daughter.
00:52:41Lady Leora is the daughter
00:52:42of the treasurer
00:52:43and the companion
00:52:44of his majesty's youth.
00:52:45She is our
00:52:46disestined empress.
00:52:48This is an act
00:52:49of high treason
00:52:50that must be investigated
00:52:51to the fullest extent.
00:52:52What are you doing?
00:52:55I am innocent.
00:52:57I truly did nothing wrong.
00:52:59I didn't conspire
00:53:01with any assassin.
00:53:02You cannot do this to me.
00:53:06Lady Leora,
00:53:08Julia has been brought
00:53:09before you.
00:53:14Lady Leora,
00:53:15I truly know nothing of this.
00:53:17You were the one in charge
00:53:19of organizing the sacrifice.
00:53:20An assassin slipped in
00:53:22under your watch.
00:53:22Do you really dare
00:53:23to say you knew nothing?
00:53:27How dare you arrange
00:53:29an assassination
00:53:30at the Luperalia festival?
00:53:31What is your motive?
00:53:33Have you been jealous
00:53:34of my position
00:53:34as future empress
00:53:35and decided to get rid of me?
00:53:37I truly didn't.
00:53:38Lady Leora,
00:53:39I was responsible
00:53:40for the event,
00:53:41but I swear I know
00:53:42nothing about an assassin.
00:53:43You refuse to confess?
00:53:45Don't be a fool, Julia.
00:53:47The whip will wring
00:53:48the truth out of you
00:53:49soon enough.
00:53:50Weren't you given
00:53:51full responsibility
00:53:52for the Lupastia sacrifice?
00:53:54An assassin infiltrated
00:53:56a heavily guarded site
00:53:57and you claim ignorance?
00:53:59That is gross negligence,
00:54:00and negligence
00:54:01is a capital offense.
00:54:03Indeed.
00:54:04The palace is guarded
00:54:05day and night.
00:54:07No ordinary person
00:54:08could simply walk in
00:54:09unless Julia conspired
00:54:10with the assassin
00:54:11and let him in.
00:54:12There is no other explanation.
00:54:15I truly know nothing
00:54:16of the assassin.
00:54:17Please, Lady Leora,
00:54:18give me some time.
00:54:19I will find the truth
00:54:20and prove my innocence.
00:54:21Give you time?
00:54:23You merely seek
00:54:24to crawl to His Majesty
00:54:24and hide behind his favor.
00:54:26Do not think
00:54:27your transparent schemes
00:54:28escape my notice.
00:54:29His Majesty?
00:54:31Still acting?
00:54:32You think I don't know?
00:54:33You are the slut
00:54:34who has been seducing
00:54:35the Emperor
00:54:35with a face like that.
00:54:37No wonder
00:54:37you're so restless.
00:54:39Even if His Majesty
00:54:40chose a commoner,
00:54:41it wouldn't be
00:54:41a lowly rat like you!
00:54:45I have never
00:54:46seduced the Emperor.
00:54:47I've never even
00:54:48seen his face.
00:54:49How could I seduce him?
00:54:50Have you forgotten
00:54:51that I healed your burn
00:54:52just two days ago?
00:54:54How can you repay
00:54:55my mindness
00:54:55with such outrageous
00:54:56accusations?
00:54:57You dare question me?
00:54:59You arrogant wretch!
00:55:01God, seize this
00:55:02unrepentant slut!
00:55:03Look closely, Julia.
00:55:05You are standing
00:55:06before the daughter
00:55:07of the Treasurer,
00:55:08the woman chosen
00:55:08by Marta Senius
00:55:09to be Emperor.
00:55:10To talk back now
00:55:11is pure suicide.
00:55:13If you are
00:55:13the Treasurer's daughter
00:55:14and the future Empress,
00:55:15you should be
00:55:16reasonable and just.
00:55:17I have never even
00:55:18seen the Emperor.
00:55:19How could I seduce him?
00:55:21Besides,
00:55:22I am already married.
00:55:23I would never
00:55:23seek another.
00:55:27You are married?
00:55:28Who is your husband?
00:55:31His...
00:55:31His Majesty?
00:55:38My Lady,
00:55:39don't let her fool you!
00:55:40This ring was stolen
00:55:41by her husband.
00:55:42Her husband is just
00:55:44a minor guard in the palace.
00:55:45I saw it myself.
00:55:46They steal at night
00:55:47and flirt openly
00:55:48during the day.
00:55:49It is an absolute outrage.
00:55:51My husband is indeed
00:55:53a guard,
00:55:53but we have never been
00:55:55inappropriate in public
00:55:56and we are certainly
00:55:57not seen.
00:55:58As if anyone would
00:55:59believe you!
00:55:59Lady Leora,
00:56:00I bet the assassin
00:56:01who attacked you
00:56:02was none other than
00:56:02her guard husband.
00:56:03This rash on my face
00:56:05has lasted for days.
00:56:06The court physicians
00:56:07have prescribed
00:56:08so many ointments
00:56:09but none of them
00:56:10seemed to work.
00:56:11Matasenatus,
00:56:12I heard that Julia
00:56:13healed Lady Leora's burn
00:56:14with just a handful
00:56:15of herbs last month.
00:56:16Perhaps we should
00:56:17let Julia examine you.
00:56:19I didn't realize
00:56:20Julia was so skilled.
00:56:21Go and summon her.
00:56:23Once this rash is gone,
00:56:24it will be time
00:56:25for His Majesty
00:56:25to name her Empress.
00:56:27Matasenaris!
00:56:29Terrible news!
00:56:30Lady Leora
00:56:31has arrested Julia
00:56:32and is about
00:56:32to have her tortured.
00:56:35This is madness.
00:56:36Quick, come with me.
00:56:38You refuse
00:56:39to find the truth,
00:56:41choosing instead
00:56:41to frame the innocent
00:56:43and abuse your power.
00:56:44It is your actions
00:56:46that offend the gods
00:56:47and you will surely
00:56:49be punished.
00:56:50Guards!
00:56:50Fetch the whip!
00:56:51I will have a confession
00:56:52from her today.
00:56:53Palace law dictates
00:56:54that no noble
00:56:55has the right
00:56:56to use private torture
00:56:57except for Matasenus
00:56:58and the Emperor.
00:57:01My lady,
00:57:02I shall go to
00:57:03Matasenus now
00:57:04and get an order
00:57:05to have both her
00:57:06and her guard husband
00:57:07arrested and executed
00:57:08as a warning to others.
00:57:13And who exactly
00:57:14is it you want me
00:57:15to execute?
00:57:21Release her!
00:57:27You show no respect
00:57:28for palace law
00:57:29and use illegal torture.
00:57:31Who gave you
00:57:32permission to cause
00:57:32such chaos
00:57:33during the
00:57:34Lupefaria sacrifice?
00:57:35I am the Emperor's
00:57:36chosen companion,
00:57:37the future Empress of Rome.
00:57:39To discipline a lowly servant
00:57:41is my prerogative.
00:57:42I will soon rule
00:57:43these halls.
00:57:44Who are you
00:57:44to stand in my path
00:57:46and preach to me?
00:57:47Insolence!
00:57:48Do you truly have no idea
00:57:49to whom you are speaking?
00:57:50You're just some
00:57:51low-born old official.
00:57:52If I don't teach you
00:57:53a lesson,
00:57:54you'll never learn your place.
00:57:55Guards!
00:57:55Seize her as well!
00:57:56I never imagined
00:57:57you would be so
00:57:57veniful and disrespectful
00:57:59of rank.
00:58:00I was blind to let
00:58:01someone like you
00:58:02near his majesty.
00:58:03You think your mate
00:58:04is Senenus?
00:58:05You're just an old woman
00:58:06too ashamed
00:58:07to show her face.
00:58:08You must have
00:58:09a death wish.
00:58:12Let's see who dares.
00:58:15Guards!
00:58:16Bring me my whip!
00:58:17I'm going to teach
00:58:18this arrogant old crone
00:58:19a lesson she'll never forget.
00:58:21Lady Leora,
00:58:22you cannot.
00:58:22Palace law forbids
00:58:23the private whipping
00:58:24of court officials.
00:58:25If His Majesty
00:58:26or Martyr Senenus
00:58:27finds out,
00:58:27they will be furious.
00:58:28Please, have mercy.
00:58:29Get away from me,
00:58:30you slut!
00:58:47Why isn't Julia here yet?
00:58:49The sacrifice
00:58:50ended quite a while ago.
00:58:53Could something
00:58:54have happened?
00:58:55Your Majesty,
00:58:56it is a disaster.
00:58:57Lady Leora
00:58:57has arrested Julia
00:58:58and is attempting
00:58:59to torture your mother
00:59:00Matasenius.
00:59:02Damn it!
00:59:03Leora is cruel
00:59:04and arrogant.
00:59:05Something has gone wrong!
00:59:17Leora,
00:59:18you dare commit
00:59:19such violence
00:59:20and harm palace staff
00:59:21at a sacred site?
00:59:23Have you no fear
00:59:24of the gods' wrath?
00:59:26Lady Leora,
00:59:27it was I who offended you.
00:59:28It is all my fault.
00:59:30Please,
00:59:30do not involve
00:59:31official Dora.
00:59:33Huh!
00:59:34You certainly love
00:59:35playing the martyr.
00:59:36Since you are so eager
00:59:37to take this old crone's punishment,
00:59:38I will grant your wish.
00:59:39I'll make sure you learn
00:59:40the price of disobedience
00:59:41so you never meddle again!
00:59:43Enough, Leora.
00:59:43In the name of Matasenius,
00:59:45I warn you for the last time,
00:59:46do not push this too far.
00:59:48The Emperor
00:59:48will never forgive you
00:59:49for this.
00:59:50You're just a lowly old servant
00:59:51too afraid to show your face,
00:59:52yet you dare claim
00:59:53to be Marta Senuus?
00:59:54Today,
00:59:55I shall punish you
00:59:56on behalf of the Emperor.
00:59:57The assassin
00:59:58has been apprehended.
00:59:59He waits your judgment
01:00:00at the threshold.
01:00:01Bring him in at once.
01:00:03Let everyone see
01:00:04the ironclap proof
01:00:05that this slut
01:00:07conspired with an assassin.
01:00:15Julia conspired with this guard
01:00:17to breach palace security
01:00:18and arrange an assassination
01:00:20against me.
01:00:21Guards,
01:00:22execute them both
01:00:23immediately as an example.
01:00:29I would like to see
01:00:31who dares.
01:00:33Your Majesty,
01:00:34how could it be you?
01:00:39Mother.
01:00:42His Majesty,
01:00:43Augustus,
01:00:44Matasenorius.
01:00:53How is this possible?
01:00:55How could she be
01:00:56Matasenorius?
01:00:57Leora,
01:00:58I believe that as a daughter
01:00:59of nobility,
01:01:00you would be wise
01:01:01and kind.
01:01:02I never expected
01:01:03such heartless cruelty.
01:01:05You insult your superiors
01:01:06and accuse the law.
01:01:08you dream of being
01:01:10Empress?
01:01:11Never.
01:01:19If there is evidence
01:01:20that Julia is innocent,
01:01:22what should be the fate
01:01:23of those who framed her?
01:01:24Heather,
01:01:24please,
01:01:25please,
01:01:25do not abandon me.
01:01:27You attempted
01:01:28to use illegal tools.
01:01:29I am willing
01:01:30to be demoted to a slave
01:01:31and never set foot
01:01:32in the palace again.
01:01:33Fine.
01:01:34It is settled.
01:01:35Guards,
01:01:36bring him in.
01:01:42Your Majesty's foresight
01:01:44was undearing.
01:01:45As commanded,
01:01:46I stationed sentries
01:01:47at every exit.
01:01:48We captured the assassin
01:01:49as he fled
01:01:50and have secured
01:01:51his confession.
01:01:52Mercy,
01:01:52Your Majesty,
01:01:53it was Lady Leora's father,
01:01:55the treasurer,
01:01:56who forced me.
01:01:57He made me disguise myself
01:01:59as a guard.
01:01:59I may have been wrong,
01:02:00but Julia was the organizer
01:02:02of the Lupagania sacrifice.
01:02:03She must be...
01:02:04I had no choice.
01:02:06Please,
01:02:06spare me.
01:02:10It's over.
01:02:11Everything is ruined.
01:02:15Do you know
01:02:16why I believe in Julia?
01:02:17Because she is my wife,
01:02:19the true empress
01:02:21of the Roman Empire.
01:02:24Just in the future,
01:02:25I beg you,
01:02:26punish Julia.
01:02:34If there is evidence
01:02:35that Julia is innocent,
01:02:37what should be the fate
01:02:38of those who framed her?

01:03:42punish Julia.
01:03:44His sentence.
01:03:51I hate you.
01:03:52If it weren't for you,
01:03:53all of this would be mine.
01:03:54The throne would be mine
01:03:54and the emperor would be mine.
01:03:56You ruined everything.
01:03:57You are wrong.
01:03:58The person who brought you
01:03:59to this end was never me.
01:04:00It was you.
01:04:01Your own greed,
01:04:03jealousy and cruelty
01:04:03led you here.
01:04:04You have only yourself to blame.
01:04:10I am sorry
01:04:11for all the suffering
01:04:12you've endured.
01:04:13It doesn't matter now,
01:04:14your majesty.
01:04:15Do not call me
01:04:16your majesty.
01:04:17Call me Marcus.
01:04:18Only you may call me that.
01:04:20Marcus,
01:04:21now that the guilty
01:04:22have been punished,
01:04:23all misunderstandings
01:04:24are resolved.
01:04:28From this day forth,
01:04:30I declare before the gods,
01:04:32Julia is the eternal
01:04:33and only empress
01:04:33and peace
01:04:34of the Roman Empire.
01:04:36Let's do it.
01:04:40Take care.
01:04:43Let's do it.
