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?
00:10:37poverty
00:10:38In the name of Jupiter
00:10:39You are now husband and wife
00:11:05In 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.
00:13:09It must be a blessing from Jupiter.
00:13:18Yeah?
00:13:20Hey!
00:13:21Wake up!
00:13:22Pitching tents on restricted city grounds is illegal.
00:13:25Move out immediately.
00:13:26Apologies.
00:13:27We will be gone soon and won't trouble you again.
00:13:30Wait!
00:13:31You are...
00:13:32His Majesty Oscars!
00:13:35What majesty?
00:13:38Who is...
00:13:39His Majesty?
00:13:45Good heavens, sir! Look! That man is stealing your carriage! Stop him, quick!
00:13:54Damn it! That's the third one this month! I'm catching that thief today!
00:13:59What was that about His Majesty?
00:14:01Just a joke. Pitching a tent in a forbidden zone. Who do you think you are, the Emperor?
00:14:36Ha ha ha!
00:14:36Your investigator has appeared near the market. Forgive me, Julia. I can't go in with you.
00:14:42It's okay. I'll be fine on my own.
00:14:46Julia, when I return, I'll tell you everything.
00:14:49Immediately prepare a lavish, dignified gift for Mr. Quentius' birthday. Yes, sire.
00:15:01I've returned.
00:15:05Who invited you, Julia?
00:15:10Who invited you, Julia?
00:15:14It's my father's birthday. I've come to pay my respects and offer my blessings.
00:15:19So this is the eldest Quentius' daughter who insisted on marrying a beggar.
00:15:24Crashing the party. Where's your beggar husband? Too ashamed to show his face?
00:15:29Marcus has personal business to attend to.
00:15:31Personal business? For a commoner. He's not exactly the Emperor, is he?
00:15:35He's just terrified of being the laughingstock.
00:15:40I bet he's already bored of you. Abandoned on the second day of marriage, why not become my mistress instead?
00:15:45I am doing just fine. We are very much in love.
00:15:48As for you, Chloe, if this man could deceive and abandon me, he'll do the same to you the moment
00:15:53a better offer comes along.
00:15:55You, you married a homeless beggar.
00:15:58My daughter married a noble. There is no comparison.
00:16:01Look at these. These are the lavish gifts Gaius brought.
00:16:10And this contract, I shall petition His Majesty Augustus to grant the Quintius family a title of nobility.
00:16:19You said you came to visit Father. So where is your gift?
00:16:29Father, I made these honey cakes myself. I hope you like them.
00:16:37Honey cakes? What are those worth? A few copper? How embarrassing.
00:16:41It's a gift from the heart. From my husband and me.
00:16:44Heart? Is a beggar's sentiment worth anything?
00:16:48Julia, you are a total disgrace to my name.
00:16:51Throw her out. I never want to see her again.
00:16:57Varus Quintius, the Imperial Palace has sent birthday gifts.
00:17:04The palace? His Majesty? I don't have nearly enough status for the Emperor to send me gifts.
00:17:10It is because of your daughter. Is it her or her?
00:17:18Such lavish gifts. Could it be the eldest daughter didn't marry a commoner after all?
00:17:23You must be mistaken.
00:17:26Julia married a beggar. There's no way she has palace connections.
00:17:29You're a relative of the Emperor. One of your uncles must have sent this for you, right?
00:17:32Oh, very likely.
00:17:34They must have been worried my own gift wasn't grand enough, so they sent a backer.
00:17:38See? I told you. A beggar could never afford such luxury.
00:17:43You two are the ones who truly bring honor to this family.
00:17:47Unlike Julia. You truly sicken me.
00:17:49From now on, I have only one daughter. Julia is no daughter of mine.
00:17:53Chloe married a noble and suddenly she's his only child.
00:17:55My handmade gift means nothing to him.
00:17:58They say a father's love is unconditional.
00:18:00But you, you just see daughters as bargaining chips for profit!
00:18:05How dare you speak to me that way!
00:18:14Costrous.
00:18:21There are no words at all.
00:18:26I must have misseen it.
00:18:29That's mine! Give it back!
00:18:30There's no way Julia's beggar is his majesty.
00:18:38Is this thing made of wood?
00:18:40No!
00:18:42Treasuring a beggar's track? Disgusting.
00:18:45Chloe, I'm begging you. Give it back.
00:18:47It's from my husband. He's the only person who ever chose me.
00:18:49I'll do anything. Just give me the ring, please!
00:18:55You said it!
00:18:56Guards, bring the thorns from the backyard and pave the floor.
00:19:07What are you doing?
00:19:10My sources say Madam is being ruthlessly mistreated at her father's house.
00:19:20Julia, hold on!
00:19:23You said it yourself.
00:19:25Anything.
00:19:28Crawl to me on your knees across these thorns and I'll give you the ring.
00:19:32Father, are you really letting her do this?
00:19:35I am your daughter too!
00:19:37Do you really want me to kneel?
00:19:39I told you!
00:19:40The moment you married that beggar, you shamed this family.
00:19:45You are no daughter of mine.
00:19:47That ring isn't just a symbol of our love.
00:19:49It's something my husband treasures.
00:19:51I have to get it back.
00:19:52My ancestors told me I must personally place it on the finger of my true wife.
00:19:56Fine.
00:19:58I'll kneel.
00:19:59But once I'm done, I'm dead to this family.
00:20:11Faster!
00:20:14Julia, wait for me!
00:20:23Marcus, don't worry.
00:20:27I will get our ring back.
00:20:38Enough!
00:20:58Hurry!
00:21:00Hurry!
00:21:28This is the price of marrying a beggar.
00:21:31Risking your life for a piece of wood.
00:21:33I guess that's the most valuable thing that stinking beggar owns.
00:21:47I did what you asked.
00:21:50Give me the ring.
00:21:51You're pathetic.
00:21:52For a piece of junk?
00:21:54I almost thought it was something valuable.
00:21:57I'm bored.
00:21:58Here, take it.
00:22:02You!
00:22:05No!
00:22:08My mother told me I must personally place this ring on my future wife's hand.
00:22:13Faster!
00:22:14Faster!
00:22:16Faster!
00:22:20No!
00:22:39No! No!
00:22:40You cherish your beggar so much?
00:22:43If I disfigure you, will he still want you?
00:22:48No! No!
00:22:53Someone help!
00:22:58Someone help!
00:23:00No!
00:23:12His Majesty Augustus has arrived!
00:23:18No!
00:23:34Who dares bully my wife?
00:23:37No!
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!
00:24:04But, look at all those guards!
00:24:07Mom! No way!
00:24:09He must have hired actors!
00:24:11I've only seen statues of the Emperor,
00:24:13but he looks exactly like them!
00:24:16Looking like him doesn't make him him!
00:24:19He probably stole those clothes just to save face!
00:24:22What a joke!
00:24:23A beggar playing dress up at my birthday party!
00:24:26Sister, look at the trash you married!
00:24:29Homeless, 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!
00:25:01So what?
00:25:04Who knew she'd actually crawl through thorns for a piece of wood?
00:25:08Bitch!
00:25:08Shut up!
00:25:09Who the hell do you think you are?!
00:25:10You dare shout at me?!
00:25:11I'll curse her all I want!
00:25:13She married a loser like you!
00:25:14I am Lady Fulius!
00:25:16If I kill you today, you should thank me!
00:25:18Enough acting!
00:25:19Guards!
00:25:20Arrest this beggar and Julia!
00:25:30No one insults my wife and lives.
00:25:35Seize them!
00:25:49Are you insane?!
00:25:50I am Lady Fulius!
00:25:52You dare touch me?!
00:25:57Gaius, help me!
00:26:07Gaius, help me!
00:26:10You stinking beggar!
00:26:12The Fulius family are relatives of the Emperor!
00:26:15How dare you?!
00:26:16I dare!
00:26:17And I can wipe the Fulius family off the face of the earth!
00:26:22You're overacting, beggar!
00:26:24Let me go before I get really angry and I might spare you!
00:26:29Shove their faces into the sacred fire!
00:26:33Stop!
00:26:34My 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?
00:26:44Then 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!
00:27:11Stop!
00:27:13Stop!
00:27:14Brother!
00:27:15Save me!
00:27:16Help!
00:27:17Help!
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?
00:27:37It's me.
00:27:38So what?
00:27:43Your...
00:27:44Your Majesty?
00:27:49He really is!
00:27:51The Emperor!
00:27:57Augustus?
00:27:58No!
00:27:59He was a beggar!
00:28:01It's impossible!
00:28:02Brother!
00:28:03He's lying!
00:28:04Those clothes are stolen!
00:28:05Those actors are paid!
00:28:06It's fake!
00:28:08Yes, Mr. Isaac!
00:28:10You're mistaken!
00:28:10He's just a beggar!
00:28:12He can't be the Emperor exactly!
00:28:14Why would the Emperor be in this dump?
00:28:16Maybe it is a coincidence.
00:28:18The Emperor would never be here.
00:28:20You rebel!
00:28:22Look at the husband you chose!
00:28:24Impersonating the Emperor and offending the Senate!
00:28:27How will you fix this?
00:28:29This beggar almost killed someone!
00:28:31Don't let him go!
00:28:32In the name of the Consul!
00:28:34Take them to the dungeon!
00:28:42My son...
00:28:43His Majesty...
00:28:45Still refuses to come home?
00:28:48I heard...
00:28:49He married a woman out there.
00:28:53Ridiculous!
00:28:53I'm bringing him back myself!
00:28:58In the name of the Consul!
00:29:00Take them to the dungeon!
00:29:01In the name of the Consul!
00:29:04You're no Consul!
00:29:05You have no authority here!
00:29:10You beggar!
00:29:11You know nothing of the law!
00:29:13How dare you question my brother!
00:29:20Julia...
00:29:20No one can save you today.
00:29:23I can't let anything happen to my husband.
00:29:30They have the Consul.
00:29:31We have to go.
00:29:35Your wounds...
00:29:36I'm letting them go for today to save you.
00:29:39Running away?
00:29:41No chance!
00:29:43No!
00:29:55No!
00:29:58No!
00:29:59No!
00:30:01No!
00:30:18Marcus!
00:30:19Marcus!
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.
00:31:01Even a beggar loves you.
00:31:03The more you love him,
00:31:06the more I want to break you.
00:31:09Our grudge is between us!
00:31:11Do what you want to me, but please!
00:31:13Let Marcus go!
00:31:14No!
00:31:17Julia.
00:31:17Don'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.
00:31:27I'll kill you both together.
00:31:30The Empress Donna is here!
00:31:32She's here!
00:31:42No!
00:31:51Who dares harm my son?
00:31:56Marta Tenaris!
00:31:57Marta Tenaris!
00:31:58Marta Tenaris!
00:31:58Marta Tenaris!
00:32:10Our son!
00:32:11He really is the emperor.
00:32:13Shhh!
00:32:19Julia!
00:32:21Julia!
00:32:22Stay with me!
00:32:24Physician!
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?
00:32:56You'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!
00:33:15I was blind!
00:33:16Please!
00:33:17Have 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.
00:33:30They forced me!
00:33:32It was them!
00:33:33Please!
00:33:33We're relatives!
00:33:34Spare me!
00:33:43Mercy, Your Majesty!
00:33:45Please!
00:33:46Mercy, Your Majesty!
00:33:54Go to that girl.
00:34:02Julia, you're awake. Are 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, His 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.
00:34:31But you cannot tell her the truth yet.
00:34:33Mata Senaris 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.
00:34:49Me as a guard.
00:34:50It's wonderful.
00:34:50We can save up for our own homes.
00:34:56I'm sorry, Julia, for 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.
00:36:26You, 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?
00:36:46Uh.
00:37:05A wooden ring.
00:37:06This is the Emperor's own heirloom.
00:37:09Quick, find Lady Lyre.
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.
00:37:32Marta Senatus, it 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!
00:37:49I leave for one moment and you descend into chaos.
00:37:59Lady Lyre, 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 Lyre, 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.
00:38:35She 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 Lyre, 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?
00:38:56I shall keep this ring for now.
00:38:59Once the truth is revealed, it will be returned to you.
00:39:04Thanks.
00:39:05Listen well.
00:39:06This is official Dora.
00:39:08She will manage you alongside me.
00:39:10Keep to your places.
00:39:11If 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 Lyra, 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.
00:40:21I can adore 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?
00:40:36It 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, and I feared you were keeping secrets from me.
00:40:50You there, since 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.
00:42:38Stop your malicious lies.
00:42:40Not a thief?
00:42:42Next, you'll say the emperor himself gave it to you.
00:42:46Look 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.
00:43:08You'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?
00:44:00Is 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.
00:44:55I came to the palace specifically to question his background,
00:44:59fearing 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.
00:45:18This 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 the 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 Lupergaria sacrifices.
00:46:52But I don't know
00:46:52the first thing about it.
00:46:54Lupergaria 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, and 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, they won't.
00:47:35Julia wants
00:47:35the Lupergaria festival is over.
00:47:37Wait for me in this courtyard.
00:47:38I have something
00:47:39very important to tell you.
00:47:42Okay.
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 has been
00:48:00frequently visiting
00:48:01the servants' quarters
00:48:02to see a girl in secret.
00:48:03What?
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 the Emperor
00:48:11right under my nose?
00:48:19My hand!
00:48:21You dare burn me!
00:48:24Forgive me, Lady Leora.
00:48:26It wasn't on purpose.
00:48:27I was just so nervous.
00:48:29Please, have mercy.
00:48:30Lady Leora is the
00:48:31treasurer's daughter,
00:48:32a high noble of 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.
00:48:39Lupergaria is almost here.
00:48:41With my hand like this,
00:48:42how can I stand beside
00:48:43the Emperor for 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!
00:48:55I'll never do it again!
00:48:56I can heal that burn
00:48:57for you.
00:49:01I can heal that burn for 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 since 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, Julia,
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.
00:49:55Huh.
00:49:57Truly 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, Julia.
00:50:15Please,
00:50:16forgive me.
00:50:17The past is in the past.
00:50:20Let's not speak of it again.
00:50:22From now on,
00:50:23we shall be like sisters
00:50:25and look out for one each other.
00:50:30I don't.
00:50:33What?
00:50:34Julia is that lowly servant
00:50:36who's been seducing
00:50:37his 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
00:50:48as a mere maid?
00:50:49She is no threat
00:50:49to your position.
00:50:50True.
00:50:51His majesty is likely
00:50:53just bored
00:50:53and finds her a novelty.
00:50:56Perhaps I judged her
00:50:57too harshly.
00:50:58My lady,
00:50:59that Julia
00:51:00is nothing but a slut
00:51:02who seduces
00:51:02every man she sees.
00:51:04She is pure evil.
00:51:08I am a maid
00:51:09in the domestic office
00:51:10with Julia
00:51:11and I know her better
00:51:11than anyone.
00:51:12Not only is she lazy,
00:51:13but she constantly
00:51:14flirts with the guards.
00:51:15Worse,
00:51:16she is a thief.
00:51:17She stole the emperor's
00:51:18own ring.
00:51:20The emperor's ring?
00:51:22You mean the wooden one?
00:51:23The one he's worn
00:51:24since childhood?
00:51:25The one meant
00:51:26for the future empress?
00:51:27Such an audacious wretch!
00:51:28Her intentions
00:51:29are treasonous!
00:51:30I will never let her
00:51:31get 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.
00:51:39You want an upper liner,
00:51:41Jorley?
00:51:42Good.
00:51:43We'll do it.
00:51:45Julia,
00:51:47Lupergarious
00:51:47will be the day
00:51:48you die!
00:52:03Be careful.
00:52:04Whatever you do,
00:52:05don't drop it.
00:52:07Julia,
00:52:07you've done
00:52:08a magnificent job.
00:52:09The nobles are all praising
00:52:09how well the sacrifice
00:52:10was organized.
00:52:11Even Matersenius
00:52:12looked pleased
00:52:13and couldn't stop
00:52:13complimenting you.
00:52:14That is a relief.
00:52:15I'm glad I didn't fail
00:52:16the trust Matersenius
00:52:17placed 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
00:52:22something important
00:52:23to tell you.
00:52:24Go on.
00:52:26Assassin!
00:52:27Catch the Lupercali assassin!
00:52:29Block all exits.
00:52:30No one is allowed
00:52:30to leave.
00:52:31What?
00:52:31What's happening?
00:52:33How could there be
00:52:34an assassin
00:52:34at the sacrifice?
00:52:35Assassin disguised
00:52:36as a guard
00:52:37just tried to stab
00:52:38Lady Leora,
00:52:39the treasurer's daughter.
00:52:41Lady Leora
00:52:42is the daughter
00:52:42of the treasurer
00:52:43and the companion
00:52:44of His Majesty's youth.
00:52:45She is our
00:52:46disestant empress.
00:52:48This is an act
00:52:49of high treason
00:52:50that must be
00:52:50investigated
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!
00:53:04You cannot do this to me!
00:53:06Lady Leora,
00:53:08Julia has been
00:53:09brought before you.
00:53:14Lady Leora,
00:53:15I truly know
00:53:16nothing of this.
00:53:17You were the one
00:53:18in charge of
00:53:19organizing the sacrifice.
00:53:21An assassin
00:53:21slipped in
00:53:22under your watch.
00:53:22Do you really dare
00:53:23to say you knew
00:53:24nothing?
00:53:27How dare you
00:53:29arrange an 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
00:53:36to 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
00:53:41I know nothing
00:53:42about an assassin.
00:53:43You refuse to confess?
00:53:45Don't be a fool, Julia.
00:53:47The whip will
00:53:48wring the truth
00:53:49out of you soon enough.
00:53:50Weren't you given
00:53:51full responsibility
00:53:52for the Lupastia sacrifice?
00:53:54An assassin
00:53:55infiltrated
00:53:56a heavily guarded site
00:53:57and you claim
00:53:58ignorance?
00:53:59That is gross
00:53:59negligence
00:54:00and negligence
00:54:01is a capital offense.
00:54:03Indeed.
00:54:04The palace
00:54:05is guarded
00:54:05day and night.
00:54:07No ordinary person
00:54:08could simply walk in
00:54:09unless Julia
00:54:09conspired with
00:54:11the assassin
00:54:11and let him in.
00:54:12There is
00:54:13no other explanation.
00:54:15I truly know
00:54:16nothing of the assassin.
00:54:17Please,
00:54:17Lady Leora,
00:54:18give me some time.
00:54:19I will find
00:54:19the truth
00:54:20and prove my innocence.
00:54:21Give you time?
00:54:23You merely seek
00:54:24to crawl to his majesty
00:54:25and 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 the treasurer's
00:55:14daughter and the future
00:55:15empress,
00:55:15you should be reasonable
00:55:16and 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
00:55:58would believe you!
00:55:59Lady Leora,
00:56:00I bet the assassin
00:56:01who attacked you
00:56:02was none other
00:56:02than her 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
00:56:10seem 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,
00:56:36come with me.
00:56:38You refuse
00:56:39to find the truth,
00:56:40choosing 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 Matasenus
00:57:04now and 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 permission
00:57:32to cause such chaos
00:57:33during the Lupefaria 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 these halls.
00:57:43Who are you to stand
00:57:45in 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 a 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 venerful
00:57:58and disrespectful of rank.
00:58:00I was blind to let someone
00:58:01like you near his majesty.
00:58:03Ha!
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 a 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 Marta 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 ended
00:58:50quite a while ago.
00:58:53Could something have happened?
00:58:55Your majesty,
00:58:56it is a disaster.
00:58:57Lady Leora has arrested Julia
00:58:58and is attempting to torture
00:58:59your mother,
00:59:00Matasenus.
00:59:02Damn it!
00:59:03Leora is cruel and 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.
00:59:29Please,
00:59:30do not involve
00:59:31official Dora.
00:59:34You certainly love
00:59:35playing the martyr.
00:59:36Since you are so eager
00:59:37to take this old
00:59:37crone'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 Matasenus,
00:59:45I warn you for the last time,
00:59:46do not push this too far.
00:59:48The emperor will never
00:59:49forgive you for 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 Matasenus?
00:59:55Today, I shall punish you
00:59:56on behalf of the emperor.
00:59:57The assassin has 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
01:00:16with this guard
01:00:17to breach palace security
01:00:18and arrange
01:00:19an assassination against 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?
01:00:40Mother.
01:00:42His majesty,
01:00:43Augustus Matasenorius.
01:00:52How 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 and 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 empress?
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 to use
01:01:28illegal tools.
01:01:29I am willing to be demoted
01:01:30to 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,
01:01:35bring 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
01:01:58disguise myself
01:01:59as a garden.
01:01:59I may have been wrong,
01:02:00but Julia was the organizer
01:02:02of the Lupagania sacrifice.
01:02:04She must be-
01:02:04I had no choice.
01:02:06Please,
01:02:06spare me.
01:02:10It's over.
01:02:12Everything is ruined.
01:02:15Do you know why
01:02:16I 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?
01:02:39Heather,
01:02:40please,
01:02:40please,
01:02:41do not abandon me!
01:02:43You attempted
01:02:43to use illegal tools-
01:02:45I am willing
01:02:45to be demoted to a slave
01:02:46and never set foot
01:02:47in the palace again.
01:02:48Fine.
01:02:49It is settled.
01:02:50Guards,
01:02:51bring him in.
01:02:58your majesty's foresight
01:02:59was undearing.
01:03:00As commanded,
01:03:02I stationed sentries
01:03:03at every exit.
01:03:03We captured the assassin
01:03:05as he fled
01:03:05and have secured
01:03:06his confession.
01:03:07Mercy,
01:03:08your majesty!
01:03:09It was Lady Leora's father,
01:03:10the treasurer,
01:03:12who forced me.
01:03:12He made me disguise
01:03:13myself as a garden.

01:03:42punish Julia!
01:03:45...his 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,
01:03:55and 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,
01:04:03and cruelty led you here.
01:04:04You have only yourself
01:04:05to 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
01:04:33of the Roman Empire.
01:04:37To be continued...
01:04:38Returns of to me
01:04:39Михa Long
