00:00:01Gentlemen, the highlight of today's feast is about to begin.
00:00:05My two daughters, Julia and Chloe, shall choose their husbands from among you.
00:00:10I swear by the honor of the Quintius family, whoever catches these wreaths shall be wed.
00:00:18These are all senate nobles. Quintius and their spice merchants to climb the social ladder.
00:00:22Your betrothals will determine if this family joins the nobility.
00:00:26Be careful when you throw those weeds.
00:00:27Whoever secures the highest status husband will be the family hero.
00:00:32Baby, mummy knows you will marry much better than Julia.
00:00:36Sister, let me go first.
00:00:43Gaius, we've been in love for two years.
00:00:46He promised he would only catch my wreath today.
00:00:53Throw it to me! Miss Chloe Quinteria!
00:00:55I love you! Miss Chloe Quinteria!
00:00:57Gaius, what is he doing? We had a pact.
00:01:02Throw it to me! Miss Chloe Quinteria!
00:01:05Gaius! Catch it!
00:01:11Magnificent! The eldest son of the elite Fulius family!
00:01:15Oh dear sister, Gaius caught my wreath. I guess he prefers me.
00:01:19No, this can't be right. Gaius and I made a promise. He said he would marry me!
00:01:23Chloe, you are truly my pride and joy.
00:01:30Darling, I will give you the grandest imperial wedding the Empire has ever seen.
00:01:38Gaius, don't you owe me an explanation? I'm the one you're dating!
00:01:44Sorry Julia, you have no maternal backing. And your father doesn't value you.
00:01:49I have to marry your stepsister.
00:01:51Then what were the last two years for?
00:01:54Sister, isn't it obvious? Gaius was just playing with you.
00:01:57Now the men below are still waiting for your wreath. Who knows? Maybe even the Emperor is down there.
00:02:06Your Majesty, you've been undercover as a beggar for three months to expose the noble's crimes.
00:02:15Let the Praetorian Guard handle the rest.
00:02:20There's evidence I must secure some person.
00:02:22Besides, being out here is a perfect way to judge my mother's marriage demands.
00:02:26Two birds, one stone.
00:02:34Don't go. Your destiny's right down there.
00:02:55Look! Quintius's oldest daughter has chosen a beggar!
00:03:06A rich eyeless picking a beggar at a wreath ceremony! This is going to be quite the show!
00:03:13How did that handmade Ruth end up on a beggar's head?
00:03:17Sister, talk about bad luck!
00:03:19Of all people you picked a beggar, how is father ever going to show his face again?
00:03:23You useless girl! Out of all these people you threw it to a beggar, you're doing this just to humiliate
00:03:29me!
00:03:32Well, don't be discouraged, sister. You'll be poor, but I'm sure he's an expert at scavenging leftovers. At least you
00:03:37won't starve.
00:03:39A grand lady marrying a beggar!
00:03:41Surely Mr. Quintius will go back on his word!
00:03:45If she doesn't marry him, your word is worth nothing! You'll be finished in this city!
00:03:50Marry him! Marry him!
00:04:02You! When shut! Are you trying to run away from the engagement?
00:04:12Your Majesty! Why did you catch it? This means a binding marriage contract. Toss it quickly!
00:04:17It's fine. I'm poor and filthy right now.
00:04:19A high-born lady like her would never actually agree to marry me.
00:04:22Why are you running? You threw the wreath yourself. No one forced you.
00:04:25You rebellious girl. Look at this beggar you've been scaled.
00:04:28If you marry him, our family will be the laughingstock of the Empire.
00:04:31After today's feast, I've finally seen these so-called nobles for the hypocrites they are.
00:04:37I'd rather marry a commoner and escape the schemes than spend my life as a pawn for noble alliances.
00:04:43Julia, the law of the wreath is absolute.
00:04:46If it lands on him, you must marry him, even if he is a beggar.
00:04:57I am willing to marry this gentleman.
00:05:05My name is Julia Quintilia. What is yours?
00:05:09My name is Marcus Aurelius. Marcus Aurelius. Why does that name sound so familiar?
00:05:14It's a common name. Rome is full of them. There's nothing strange about it.
00:05:19Let everyone witness. I take this man as my husband.
00:05:26Do you truly have no regrets? I have nothing. I am a wanderer with no hope.
00:05:31I do. We both have hands and feet. We can build our own future.
00:05:35If we work hard and find jobs, we will be just fine.
00:05:37I've never met a girl so easily satisfied. It's a pity. I cannot tell her who I truly am just
00:05:43yet.
00:05:43I promise you I will never fail you.
00:05:45Enough! Treating a beggar like a prize, you are throwing your entire future away!
00:05:49A future isn't built on status, but on character and virtue.
00:05:51He may be dressed in rags, but he lacks the arrogance and hypocrisy of the nobility.
00:05:54I believe he will be a good husband, worthy of my life.
00:05:57She must marry him! You said whoever was hit must marry.
00:06:00If you break your word, no one will ever trust the Quintius family again.
00:06:04Yes! She must marry him! No backing out now!
00:06:07Julia! If you insist on marry this beggar, I won't spend a single con your wedding!
00:06:11Very well, father.
00:06:14Soon, I will be a noble lady, while you will be a beggar's wife.
00:06:18From this day forward, you are beneath me.
00:06:20Being a beggar's wife isn't scary.
00:06:23What's scary is sharing a bed with a soul that isn't yours.
00:06:25Gaius is ripped, but he's a calculator.
00:06:28You'd better watch your own back.
00:06:39Then, we shall hold our wedding at the temple in three days.
00:06:44My mother is obsessed with getting me married anyway, so why not?
00:06:51Good. I will be there.
00:07:01The two Quintia's daughters are marrying today, but look at the difference. It's insane.
00:07:06It's more than that.
00:07:07The younger one married a relative of the emperor and will live in luxury.
00:07:10The eldest married a beggar and will only know suffering.
00:07:19Sister, why are you here alone?
00:07:21Where's your husband?
00:07:23Did even that beggar dump you?
00:07:27He didn't seem like the type to break his word.
00:07:30I'm here.
00:07:39Who is this?
00:07:40He's more radiant than the nobles of the senate.
00:07:47Forgive me, Julia. I kept you waiting.
00:07:50Are you...
00:07:51Are you Marcus the beggar?
00:07:58I'm here.
00:08:00What?
00:08:03That's no beggar.
00:08:04He's an absolute stunner with incredible class.
00:08:07They look so perfect together.
00:08:09I'm obsessed.
00:08:10He's not rich, yet he dressed with such care for our wedding.
00:08:13I was right about him.
00:08:14He's a man I can trust with my life.
00:08:17Do something.
00:08:17I won't let a beggar outshine me.
00:08:29This sapphire is a full five carats worth ten million asses.
00:08:39It is the symbol of my undying love for you.
00:08:47This ring was a gift from the god Jupiter himself.
00:08:50My ancestors told me I must personally place it on the finger of my true wife.
00:08:56A gift from a god?
00:08:57A beggar meeting a god?
00:08:59You probably found that in a woodshed.
00:09:02This is a holy temple.
00:09:03How dare you present such rush before the gods?
00:09:06You are a disgrace to the Quinterius name.
00:09:09This is supposed to be a legitimate marriage contract.
00:09:12And you bring this?
00:09:13Julia, aren't you absolutely humiliated?
00:09:17Marriage is about the connection of souls, not the price of a ring.
00:09:20I have chosen Marcus as my husband, and nothing you say can change my heart.
00:09:24Silence!
00:09:24Haven't you brought enough shame to this family?
00:09:26Don't waste your health on such an ungrateful daughter.
00:09:29She'll be living in squabby with this Gregor soon enough.
00:09:31Then she'll realize just how catastrophic her mistake was.
00:09:35Next, we seal the union of Miss Julia Quintalia and...
00:09:38Wait.
00:09:39Augustus?
00:09:43Are you...
00:09:45Emperor Augustus?
00:09:53May the god Jupiter bless you both with eternal happiness.
00:09:59Mr. Quintius, you are truly fortunate.
00:10:02Your daughter has climbed a very tall tree indeed.
00:10:07Of course.
00:10:08My Chloe deserves nothing less than the best.
00:10:11Some people don't even have a real wedding ring.
00:10:13They just have scrap wood.
00:10:15Unlike me, with this priceless sapphire.
00:10:20Just endure it.
00:10:22You must have eaten too much lately.
00:10:24Your fingers are too fat.
00:10:26Damn it!
00:10:27Didn't you say this was custom made?
00:10:29You may now seal your vows with a kiss.
00:10:33May I?
00:10:35In the name of Jupiter, you are now husband and wife.
00:10:39Look at all the tiger.
00:10:58Julia!
00:10:58Julia!
00:11:10Julia, I will never let you get away with this.
00:11:16Where are you taking me?
00:11:18To our home.
00:11:20Are we moving in together?
00:11:23Of course.
00:11:25From this day on, you are my one and only wife.
00:11:29My lord.
00:11:33Damon, forgive me, master.
00:11:36We found a place that fits your destitute commoner disguise, but the rat infestate is severe.
00:11:41It will take at least two days to make it habitable for you.
00:11:44What?
00:11:45But, master, we have a backup plan.
00:11:47It's much better.
00:11:52I am so sorry.
00:11:54I'll find us a proper home as soon as I can.
00:11:57Actually, I...
00:11:58Oh!
00:12:05Spending my wedding night in a tentarium?
00:12:07Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamed of sleeping under the stars.
00:12:13Thank you, Marcus.
00:12:14I know things are hard for you, yet you still did your best to give me this.
00:12:19She's a merchant's daughter, yet she's so easily satisfied.
00:12:22Her father must have been incredibly cruel to her.
00:12:29Wait.
00:12:30Why is there music playing out here in the wilderness?
00:12:37It must be a blessing from Jupiter.
00:12:40Sir?

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