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