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.
00:00:23Your betrothals will determine if this family joins the nobility.
00:00:26Be careful when you throw those weeds.
00:00:28Whoever secures the highest status husband will be the family hero.
00:00:32Baby, mummy knows you will marry much better than Julia.
00:00:37Sister, 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!
00:00:56Miss Chloe Quinteria!
00:00:58Gaius, what is he doing? We had a pact.
00:01:03Throw it to me, Miss Chloe Quinteria!
00:01:05Gaius, catch it!
00:01:12Magnificent! The eldest son of the elite Fulius family!
00:01:16Oh dear sister, Gaius caught my wreath. I guess he prefers me.
00:01:20No, 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.
00:01:39Gaius, don't you owe me an explanation? I'm the one you're dating!
00:01:45Sorry, Julia. You have no maternal backing. And your father doesn't value you.
00:01:50I have to marry your stepsister.
00:01:52Then what were the last two years for?
00:01:55Sister, isn't it obvious? Gaius just playing with you.
00:01:58Now, the men below are still waiting for your wreath.
00:02:00Who 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.
00:02:16Let 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 dodge 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!
00:03:08A rich eyeless picking a beggar at a wreath ceremony!
00:03:11This is going to be quite the show!
00:03:15How did that handmade Ruth end up on a beggar's head?
00:03:19Sister, talk about bad luck.
00:03:21Of all people, you picked a beggar.
00:03:23How is father ever going to show his face again?
00:03:25You useless girl!
00:03:27Out of all these people, you threw it to a beggar!
00:03:29You're doing this just to humiliate me!
00:03:34Well, don't be discouraged, sister.
00:03:36You'll be poor, but I'm sure he's an expert at scavenging leftovers.
00:03:39At least you won't starve!
00:03:41A grand lady marrying a beggar!
00:03:44Surely Mr. Quintius will go back on his words!
00:03:47If she doesn't marry him, your word is worth nothing!
00:03:50You'll be finished in this city!
00:03:52Marry him! Marry him!
00:03:55Marry him!
00:03:57Marry him!
00:03:58Marry him!
00:03:59Marry him!
00:04:04You! When shot!
00:04:07Are you trying to run away from the engagement?
00:04:14Your Majesty!
00:04:15Why did you catch it?
00:04:17This means a binding marriage contract!
00:04:19Toss it, quickly!
00:04:20It's fine, I'm poor and filthy right now.
00:04:22A highborn lady like her would never actually agree to marry me.
00:04:24Why are you running?
00:04:25You threw the wreath yourself!
00:04:26No one forced you!
00:04:27You rebellious girl!
00:04:29Look at this beggar you've been scaled!
00:04:30If you marry him, our family will be the laughingstock of the Empire!
00:04:34After today's feast, I've finally seen these so-called nobles for the hypocrites they are.
00:04:39I'd rather marry a commoner and escape the schemes than spend my life as a pawn for noble alliances.
00:04:46Julia, the law of the wreath is absolute.
00:04:48If it lands on him, you must marry him, even if he is a beggar!
00:05:00I am willing to marry this gentleman.
00:05:09My name is Julia Quintilia.
00:05:11What is yours?
00:05:12My name is Marcus Aurelius.
00:05:14Marcus Aurelius?
00:05:16Why does that name sound so familiar?
00:05:18It's a common name.
00:05:19Rome is full of them.
00:05:21There's nothing strange about it.
00:05:23Let everyone witness.
00:05:25I take this man as my husband.
00:05:29You truly have no regrets.
00:05:31I have nothing.
00:05:33I am a wanderer with no hope.
00:05:35I do.
00:05:36We both have hands and feet.
00:05:38We can build our own future.
00:05:39If we work hard and find jobs, we will be just fine.
00:05:41I've never met a girl so easily satisfied.
00:05:44It's a pity.
00:05:44I cannot tell her who I truly am just yet.
00:05:47I promise you I will never fail you.
00:05:48Enough!
00:05:49Treating a beggar like a prize, you are throwing your entire future away!
00:05:52A future isn't built on status, but on character and virtue.
00:05:55He may be dressed in rags, but he lacks the arrogance and hypocrisy of the nobility.
00:05:58I believe he will be a good husband, worthy of my life.
00:06:00She must marry him!
00:06:02You said whoever was hit must marry.
00:06:04If you break your word, no one will ever trust the Quintius family again.
00:06:08Yes!
00:06:08She must marry him!
00:06:09No backing out now!
00:06:10Julia!
00:06:11If you insist on marrying this beggar, I won't spend a single con your wedding!
00:06:15Very well, father.
00:06:18Soon, I will be a noble lady, while you will be a beggar's wife.
00:06:22From this day forward, you are beneath me.
00:06:24Being a beggar's wife isn't scary.
00:06:26What's scary is sharing a bed with a soul that isn't yours.
00:06:29Gaius is Rick, but he's a calculator.
00:06:31You'd better watch your own back.
00:06:43Then, we shall hold our wedding at the temple in three days.
00:06:48My mother is obsessed with getting me married anyway, so why not?
00:06:53Good.
00:06:55I will be there.
00:07:05The two Quintia's daughters are marrying today, but look at the difference.
00:07:10It's insane.
00:07:10It's more than that.
00:07:11The younger one married a relative of the emperor and will live in luxury.
00:07:15The eldest married a beggar and will only know suffering.
00:07:23Sister, why are you here alone?
00:07:26Where's your husband?
00:07:27Did even that beggar dump you?
00:07:31He didn't seem like the type to break his word.
00:07:35I'm here.
00:07:43Who is this?
00:07:44He's more radiant than the nobles of the senate.
00:07:52Forgive me, Julia.
00:07:53I kept you waiting.
00:07:53Are you...
00:07:55Are you...
00:07:57Are you Marcus the beggar?
00:08:04What?!
00:08:08That's no beggar.
00:08:09He's an absolute stunner with incredible class.
00:08:13They look so perfect together.
00:08:14I'm obsessed.
00:08:15He's not rich, yet he dressed with such care for our wedding.
00:08:18I was right about him.
00:08:19He's a man I can trust with my life.
00:08:22Do something.
00:08:23I won't let a beggar outshine me.
00:08:35This sapphire is a full five carats worth ten million asses.
00:08:45It is the symbol of my undying love for you.
00:08:52This ring was a gift from the god Jupiter himself.
00:08:56My ancestors told me I must personally place it on the finger of my true wife.
00:09:02A gift from a god?
00:09:03A beggar meeting a god?
00:09:05You probably found that in a woodshed.
00:09:08This is a holy temple!
00:09:09How dare you present such rush before the gods!
00:09:12You are a disgrace to the Quinterius name!
00:09:15This is supposed to be a legitimate marriage contact.
00:09:18And you bring...
00:09:19This?
00:09:20Julia, aren't you absolutely humiliated?
00:09:23Marriage is about the connection of souls.
00:09:25Not the price of a ring.
00:09:26I have chosen Marcus as my husband.
00:09:28And nothing you say can change my heart.
00:09:30Silence!
00:09:30Haven't you brought enough shame to this family?
00:09:32Don't waste your health on such an ungrateful daughter.
00:09:35She'll be living in squabby with this beggar soon enough.
00:09:37Then she'll realize just how catastrophic her mistake was.
00:09:40Next we seal the union of Miss Julia Quintalia and...
00:09:44Wait...
00:09:45Augustus?
00:09:49Are you...
00:09:51Emperor Augustus?
00:09:59May the god Jupiter bless you both with eternal happiness.
00:10:06Mr. Quintius, you are truly fortunate.
00:10:09Your daughter has climbed a very tall tree indeed.
00:10:14Of course.
00:10:15My Chloe deserves nothing less than the best.
00:10:18Some people don't even have a real wedding ring.
00:10:20They just have scrap wood.
00:10:22Unlike me, with this priceless sapphire.
00:10:27Just endure it.
00:10:29You must have eaten too much lately.
00:10:31Your fingers are too fat.
00:10:33Damn it!
00:10:34Didn't you say this was custom made?
00:10:36You may now seal your vows with a kiss.
00:10:40May I?
00:10:42In the name of Jupiter, you are now husband and wife.
00:10:46Oh, my God.
00:11:17I will never let you get away with this.
00:11:24Where are you taking me?
00:11:26To our home.
00:11:28Are we moving in together?
00:11:31Of course.
00:11:33From this day on, you are my one and only wife.
00:11:37My Lord!
00:11:41Damon.
00:11:42Forgive me, Master.
00:11:43We found a place that fits your destitute commoner disguise, but the rat infestate is severe.
00:11:49It will take at least two days to make it habitable for you.
00:11:52What?
00:11:53But, Master, we have a backup plan.
00:11:55It's much better.
00:11:59I am so sorry.
00:12:01I'll find us a proper home as soon as I can.
00:12:05Actually, I...
00:12:13Spending my wedding night in a tentarium?
00:12:15Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamed of sleeping under the stars.
00:12:20Thank you, Marcus.
00:12:22I know things are hard for you.
00:12:24Yet you still did your best to give me this.
00:12:26She's a merchant's daughter, yet she's so easily satisfied.
00:12:30Her father must have been incredibly cruel to her.
00:12:37Wait.
00:12:38Why is there music playing out here in the wilderness?
00:12:45It must be...
00:12:46A blessing from Jupiter.
00:12:48A blessing from Jupiter.
00:13:18A blessing from Jupiter.
00:13:25Hey!
00:13:26Wake up!
00:13:27Pitching tents on restricted city grounds is illegal.
00:13:30Move out immediately.
00:13:32Apologies.
00:13:32We will be gone soon and won't trouble you again.
00:13:36Wait!
00:13:37You are...
00:13:38His Majesty Oscars!
00:13:40What majesty?
00:13:44Who is...
00:13:45His Majesty?
00:13:52Good heavens, sir! Look! That man is stealing your carriage! Stop him, quick!
00:14:01Damn it! That's the third one this month! I'm catching that thief today!
00:14:06What was that about his majesty?
00:14:08Just a joke. Pitching a tent in a forbidden zone. Who do you think you are, the emperor?
00:14:16Julia, I'll find us a better home. Very soon.
00:14:19It's my father's birthday today. I want to visit home.
00:14:22After how he treated you. Are you sure you want to go back?
00:14:25I believe he still loves me. He's just blinded by prejudice for now.
00:14:30Fine. I'll go with you.
00:14:32I'll bake some pastries for him before we go.
00:14:34And I'll help you.
00:14:41Master, the target you're investigating has appeared near the market.
00:14:46Forgive me, Julia. I can't go in with you.
00:14:49It's okay. I'll be fine on my own.
00:14:52Julia, when I return, I'll tell you everything.
00:14:55Immediately prepare a lavish, dignified gift for Mr. Quentius' birthday.
00:15:00Yes, sire.
00:15:08I've returned.
00:15:12Who invited you, Julia?
00:15:18Who invited you, Julia?
00:15:21It's my father's birthday. I've come to pay my respects and offer my blessings.
00:15:27So this is the eldest Quentius' daughter who insisted on marrying a beggar.
00:15:32Crashing the party. Where's your beggar husband? Too ashamed to show his face?
00:15:36Marcus has personal business to attend to.
00:15:39Personal business? For a commoner. He's not exactly the emperor, is he?
00:15:43He's just terrified of being the laughingstock.
00:15:47I bet he's already bored of you. Abandoned on the second day of marriage.
00:15:51Why not become my mistress instead?
00:15:53I am doing just fine. We are very much in love.
00:15:56As for you, Chloe, if this man could deceive and abandon me,
00:15:59he'll do the same to you the moment a better offer comes along.
00:16:02You! You married a homeless beggar.
00:16:05My daughter married a noble. There is no comparison.
00:16:09Look at these. These are the lavish gifts Gaius brought.
00:16:17And this contract, I shall petition His Majesty Augustus to grant the Quintius family a title of nobility.
00:16:26You said you came to visit Father. So where is your gift?
00:16:36Father, I made these honey cakes myself. I hope you like them.
00:16:45Honey cakes? What are those worth? A few copper? How embarrassing.
00:16:49It's a gift from the heart. From my husband and me.
00:16:52Heart? Is a beggar's sentiment worth anything?
00:16:55Julia, you are a total disgrace to my name.
00:16:59Throw her out. I never want to see her again.
00:17:04Varus Quintius, the Imperial Palace has sent birthday gifts.
00:17:12The palace? His Majesty? I don't have nearly enough status for the Emperor to send me gifts.
00:17:18It is because of your daughter. Is it her or her?
00:17:25What such lavish gifts.
00:17:28Could it be the eldest daughter didn't marry a commoner after all?
00:17:32You must be mistaken. Julia married a beggar. There's no way she has palace connections.
00:17:37You're a relative of the Emperor. One of your uncles must have sent this for you, right?
00:17:41Oh, very likely.
00:17:42They must have been worried my own gift wasn't grand enough, so they sent a backer.
00:17:47See? I told you. A beggar could never afford such luxury.
00:17:51You two are the ones who truly bring honor to this family.
00:17:55Unlike Julia, you truly sicken me.
00:17:58From now on, I have only one daughter. Julia is no daughter of mine.
00:18:01Chloe married a noble and suddenly she's his only child.
00:18:04My handmade gift means nothing to him.
00:18:07They say a father's love is unconditional.
00:18:09But you, you just see daughters as bargaining chips for profit!
00:18:13How dare you speak to me that way!
00:18:30There are no words at all.
00:18:36I must have miss-seen it.
00:18:38That's mine! Give it back!
00:18:40There's no way Julia's beggar is his majesty.
00:18:47Is this thing made of wood?
00:18:50No!
00:18:51Treasuring a beggar's track? Disgusting.
00:18:54Chloe, I'm begging you. Give it back.
00:18:56It's from my husband. He's the only person who ever chose me.
00:18:59I'll do anything. Just give me the ring, please.
00:19:04You said it.
00:19:05Guards, bring the thorns from the backyard and pave the floor.
00:19:12Come on.
00:19:17What are you doing?
00:19:20My sources say Madam is being ruthlessly mistreated at her father's house.
00:19:27Yeah!
00:19:28Yeah! Yeah!
00:19:30Julia, hold on!
00:19:33You said it yourself.
00:19:35Anything.
00:19:38Crawl to me on your knees across these thorns and I'll give you the ring.
00:19:42Father, are you really letting her do this?
00:19:45I am your daughter too!
00:19:47Do you really want me to kneel-
00:19:49I told you!
00:19:50The moment you married that beggar, you shamed this family.
00:19:55You are no daughter of mine.
00:19:57That ring isn't just a symbol of our love.
00:19:59It's something my husband treasures.
00:20:01I have to get it back.
00:20:02My ancestors told me I must personally place it on the finger of my true wife.
00:20:06Fine.
00:20:08I'll kneel.
00:20:09But once I'm done, I'm dead to this family.
00:20:20Yeah! Faster!
00:20:24Julia, wait for me!
00:20:34Mark, don't worry.
00:20:37I will get our ring back.
00:20:39I will get our ring back.
00:20:48Enough!
00:21:09Hurry!
00:21:11Hurry!
00:21:15Hurry!
00:21:21Hurry!
00:21:40This is the price of marrying a beggar, risking your life for a piece of wood.
00:21:45I guess that's the most valuable thing that stinking beggar owns.
00:21:59I did what you asked. Give me the ring.
00:22:02You're pathetic. For a piece of junk? I almost thought it was something valuable.
00:22:08I'm bored. Here, take it.
00:22:13You!
00:22:16No!
00:22:19My mother told me I must personally place this ring on my future wife's hand.
00:22:24Faster! Faster! Faster!
00:22:31No! No!
00:22:51You cherish your beggar so much? If I disfigure you, will he still want you?
00:23:00No! No!
00:23:04Someone help!
00:23:10Someone help!
00:23:23His majesty, Augustus, has arrived!
00:23:29No!
00:23:30No!
00:23:32No!
00:23:34No!
00:23:34No!
00:23:35No!
00:23:36No!
00:23:37No!
00:23:37No!
00:23:38No!
00:23:39No!
00:23:39No!
00:23:41No!
00:23:41No!
00:23:46Who dares bully my wife?!
00:24:01Julia, I'm so sorry. I'm late.
00:24:06At least, I didn't lose your ring.
00:24:13His Majesty? Impossible! He's just a beggar!
00:24:17But look at all those guards!
00:24:19Mom! No way! He must have hired actors!
00:24:23I've only seen statues of the Emperor, but he looks exactly like them.
00:24:29Looking like him doesn't make him him.
00:24:31He probably stole those clothes just to save face!
00:24:34What a joke! A beggar playing dress-up at my birthday party!
00:24:38Sister, look at the trash you married.
00:24:41Homeless and now impersonating the Emperor?
00:24:44If His Majesty finds out, you're both dead.
00:24:47You truly have a death wish.
00:25:01You... What are you doing?
00:25:02Julia, let's go.
00:25:05What's wrong?
00:25:08Who did this?!
00:25:12I did. So what?
00:25:16Who knew she'd actually crawl through thorns for a piece of wood? Bitch!
00:25:20Shut up! Who the hell do you think you are? You dare shout at me?
00:25:23I'll curse her all I want. She married a loser like you.
00:25:27I am Lady Fulius. If I kill you today, you should thank me.
00:25:31Enough acting! Guards! Arrest this beggar and Julia!
00:25:42No one insults my wife and lives.
00:25:47Seize them!
00:26:02Are you insane? I am Lady Fulius! You dare touch me?
00:26:10Gaius, help me.
00:26:11Whoever kills him gets a hundred thousand Sestorians!
00:26:23You stinking beggar! The Fulvius family are relatives of the Emperor! How dare you!
00:26:29I dare. And I can wipe the Fulvius family off the face of the Earth.
00:26:35You're overacting, beggar! Let me go before I get really angry and I might spare you!
00:26:42Shove their faces into the sacred fire.
00:26:47Stop! My brother is a consular!
00:26:48You think you'll walk out of here alive?
00:26:53Since when was the consul from the Fulvius family?
00:26:56Scared? Then let us go and beg for mercy!
00:27:01Hold them down!
00:27:05My brother will destroy you!
00:27:07You'll regret this, beggar!
00:27:11Marcus, his brother is the consul. Maybe we should...
00:27:14No, Julia. They hurt you. I'm making them pay.
00:27:18My brother is a consul! I'll have you all killed!
00:27:22Get off me, you filthy beggar! I'll tear you apart!
00:27:25Stop! Stop!
00:27:28Stop!
00:27:28My brother, save me! Help! Help!
00:27:32Go get him!
00:27:37You're the one touching my brother!
00:27:41The Emperor's guard? Why are they here?
00:27:50It's me. So what?
00:27:56Your... Your Majesty?
00:28:02He really is! The Emperor!
00:28:11Augustus?
00:28:12No! He was a beggar! It's impossible!
00:28:16Brother! He's lying! Those clothes are stolen!
00:28:19Those actors are paid! It's fake!
00:28:23Yes, Mr. Isaac! You're mistaken! He's just a...
00:28:26Beggar! He can't be the Emperor exactly!
00:28:28Why would the Emperor be in this dump?
00:28:30Maybe it is a coincidence.
00:28:33The Emperor would never be here.
00:28:35You rebel! Look at the husband you chose!
00:28:38Impersonating the Emperor and offending the Senate!
00:28:41How will you fix this?
00:28:43This beggar almost killed someone!
00:28:45Don't let him go!
00:28:46In the name of the Consul, take them to the dungeon!
00:28:56My son...
00:28:57His Majesty...
00:28:59Still refuses to come home?
00:29:02I heard...
00:29:04He married a woman out there.
00:29:07Ridiculous! I'm bringing him back myself!
00:29:13In the name of the Consul, take them to the dungeon!
00:29:17In the name of the Consul...
00:29:19You're no Consul.
00:29:20You have no authority here!
00:29:25You beggar!
00:29:26You know nothing of the law!
00:29:28How dare you question my brother!
00:29:34Julia!
00:29:36No one can save you today!
00:29:38I can't let anything happen to my husband!
00:29:45They have the Consul.
00:29:46We have to go!
00:29:50Your wounds...
00:29:51I'm letting them go for today to save you.
00:29:54Running away?
00:29:55No chance!
00:30:31No chance!
00:30:33No chance!
00:30:34Marka!
00:30:35No chance!
00:30:37Chloe!
00:30:39We share the same blood!
00:30:41How can you be so heartless?
00:30:43He tried to disfadger me first.
00:30:47I won't let you go that easily.
00:30:49You're dead!
00:30:58Don't bother!
00:31:00Your little actors are too busy to save you!
00:31:03Marcus!
00:31:03Go!
00:31:04Save yourself!
00:31:05Just go!
00:31:06Go?
00:31:07He's not going anywhere.
00:31:09Why?
00:31:10Why won't you just leave us alone?
00:31:14You're so lucky, sister.
00:31:16Even a beggar loves you.
00:31:19The more you love him, the more you love him, the more you love him, the more you love him.
00:31:22The more I want to break you.
00:31:25Our grudge is between us!
00:31:27Do what you want to me, but please!
00:31:28Let Marcus go!
00:31:32Julia.
00:31:33Don't waste your breath.
00:31:36I can't let you pay for my life.
00:31:39How touching.
00:31:40Flirting at death's door.
00:31:42Fine.
00:31:43I'll kill you both together.
00:31:46The Empress' daughter is here!
00:31:48She's here!
00:31:57No!
00:32:07Who dares harm my son?
00:32:12Matter generous!
00:32:13Who dares harm my son?
00:32:27Who dares harm my son?
00:32:29Who dares harm my son?
00:32:29Who dares harm my son?
00:32:32Who dares harm my son?
00:32:32Who dares harm my son?
00:32:32Who dares harm my son?
00:32:32Who dares harm my son?
00:32:32Who dares harm my son?
00:32:33Who dares harm my son?
00:32:36Who dares harm my son?
00:32:37Who dares harm my son?
00:32:38Who dares harm my son?
00:32:40Who dares harm my son?
00:32:41Who dares harm my son?
00:32:47Stretch her now.
00:32:53Your majesty, Quintius' family is in custody.
00:32:56Marcus, you worried me to death.
00:32:59He really is the emperor.
00:33:02Arrest the entire Quintilius' family.
00:33:04Sell them into slavery.
00:33:13And you, Isaac, you're no consul.
00:33:15Who are you?
00:33:17He's just a eunuch.
00:33:20Fire him and throw him in the dungeon with the rest of them.
00:33:25He really was the emperor.
00:33:27I chose wrong.
00:33:31Mercy, your majesty, please!
00:33:33I was blind.
00:33:34Please, have mercy, your majesty.
00:33:38You didn't show Julia mercy.
00:33:40Why should I show you any?
00:33:45It can't be.
00:33:47How...
00:33:48They forced me!
00:33:50It was them!
00:33:51Please, we're relatives.
00:33:52Spare me!
00:34:01Mercy, your majesty!
00:34:03Please!
00:34:05Please!
00:34:13Go to that girl.
00:34:20Julia, you're awake.
00:34:22Are you hurt?
00:34:23I'm okay.
00:34:25Lie down.
00:34:29The physician said you need rest.
00:34:31How did we get here?
00:34:32I heard Empress, his majesty, who saved us.
00:34:39Break the engagement.
00:34:41She isn't right for you.
00:34:43Mother, she's different.
00:34:44She's the woman I've chosen.
00:34:46The royal family isn't simple.
00:34:48If you want her, she must pass my test.
00:34:50But you cannot tell her the truth yet.
00:34:52Mata Senna has saved us.
00:34:55Why would she save us?
00:34:56Do you know her?
00:34:58I'm just a beggar.
00:35:00She just happened to be passing by.
00:35:02Don't worry.
00:35:03I'll protect you from now on.
00:35:04She's giving us jobs in the palace.
00:35:06You as a maid, me as a guard.
00:35:08It's wonderful.
00:35:09We can save up for our own home.
00:35:14I'm sorry, Julia, for keeping the truth from you.
00:35:18Forgive me.
00:35:24Miss Julia, you will be working here.
00:35:30I will come find you as soon as I am free.
00:35:33All right.
00:35:34I will work hard so we can earn money together and build our little home.
00:35:41Damon, you really should have given me some notice before bringing in a newcomer.
00:35:47Lady Liar, this is Julia.
00:35:49She's new to the palace and still learning the ropes.
00:35:50I'd appreciate it if you could look off.
00:35:52Do not let her suffer any mistreatment.
00:35:56I have much to learn.
00:35:57I would be grateful for your instruction, my lady.
00:36:00Rest assured, Damon.
00:36:01I will see to Julia personally.
00:36:03I won't have her doing menial labor.
00:36:05I shall instruct her in the proper editict myself.
00:36:10Marcus.
00:36:13Something feels wrong.
00:36:15I came here to be a maid.
00:36:17Yet why do they look at me as if I were the empress?
00:36:24Perhaps Lady Liar is simply kind-hearted towards newcomers.
00:36:28Don't overthink it.
00:36:28Just focus on your tasks.
00:36:31Julia.
00:36:32Come with me.
00:36:33I will show you how to achieve the scrolls.
00:36:46You, new girl.
00:36:48Start by scrubbing this floor.
00:36:49If you dare to slack off, you'll regret it.
00:36:51Tasks were assigned in advance.
00:36:52Why are you shivving your duties onto me?
00:36:55We are all kneeling here scrubbing in the filth.
00:36:58Yet a newcomer gets the easy work?
00:37:01It isn't right.
00:37:02Exactly.
00:37:03Why should you receive such favor from Lady Liar?
00:37:25A wooden ring.
00:37:27This is the Emperor's own heirloom.
00:37:29Quick, find Lady Liar.
00:37:31Tell her we port-a-feet.
00:37:32I don't care about any Emperor.
00:37:34This was a gift from my husband.
00:37:36Give it back.
00:37:37Your husband?
00:37:38What, do you dream your husband is Augustus himself?
00:37:41You're a thief!
00:37:43Hold her down.
00:37:44Don't let her escape.
00:37:47Halt.
00:37:48All of you.
00:37:53Marta Senatus, it is far too filthy here.
00:37:56Perhaps you should return?
00:37:57I have taken this disguise to see for myself what kind of person Julia truly is.
00:38:02Remember, she must not know who I am.
00:38:06Silence!
00:38:10I leave for one moment and you descend into chaos.
00:38:20Lady Liar, Julia has stolen the Emperor's ring.
00:38:23How can a thief be allowed in the palace?
00:38:25You must have her seized and cast out at once.
00:38:28Lady Liar, please, let me explain.
00:38:30It isn't what it seems.
00:38:31The truth is-
00:38:32Enough!
00:38:32Hand over the ring!
00:38:33The ring is mine.
00:38:35I did not steal it.
00:38:36I said, give it to me!
00:38:45It truly is His Majesty's ring.
00:38:51This ring really is Marcus's.
00:38:54Marcus.
00:38:55He gave her something so sacred.
00:38:57She is bold enough to steal from the Emperor.
00:39:01Who knows what she'll do next?
00:39:03She should be beaten to death.
00:39:04Lady Liar, please listen.
00:39:06This ring was given to me by the person I hold most dear.
00:39:10It was not stolen.
00:39:11And it certainly does not belong to the Emperor.
00:39:13If it's proven that this ring belongs to Marcus, won't his identity be exposed?
00:39:18I shall keep this ring for now.
00:39:21Once the truth is revealed, it will be returned to you.
00:39:26Thanks.
00:39:27Listen well.
00:39:28This is official Dora.
00:39:30She will manage you alongside me.
00:39:32Keep to your places.
00:39:33If anyone is found ID or deceptive, you shall taste the lash.
00:39:37Yes, ma'am.
00:39:38Drauling in the palace is forbidden.
00:39:40Your punishment is latrine duty.
00:39:42You shall not eat until they are spotless.
00:39:44Yes, my lady.
00:39:56At least this will dull the stench.
00:39:58Your Majesty, Lady Leora, your childhood sweetheart is back.
00:40:02Won't you go and see her?
00:40:04Sweetheart, don't use that word for us.
00:40:06I have no heart for her.
00:40:08Leave us.
00:40:09I am going to see Julia.
00:40:11Your presence will expose my identity sooner or later.
00:40:25They have you cleaning this filth?
00:40:27This is a disgrace.
00:40:29I'm going to find whoever did this.
00:40:31I'll make them answer for it right now.
00:40:41It's fine.
00:40:42It's just a task.
00:40:44I can adore it.
00:40:46I won't stand for this.
00:40:47I'll find a way to get you away from this place as soon as possible.
00:40:54Tell me, what is the truth about that ring?
00:40:56Why do they insist it belongs to the Emperor?
00:40:59It was my father.
00:41:00He once killed a great bear with his bare hands.
00:41:03Augustus rewarded his courage by gifting him that ring.
00:41:06Oh, that explains it.
00:41:08They keep shouting about the Emperor, and I feared you were keeping secrets from me.
00:41:13You there, since when is the palace a place for idle gossip?
00:41:29It's official, Dora!
00:41:30Go, quickly!
00:41:32Don't let her see you, or we'll be in trouble.
00:41:35Come on.
00:41:47Is the latrine finished?
00:41:49It is all finished, my lady.
00:41:52Then move on to the courtyard.
00:41:53I want its fossilis.
00:41:54Not a single leaf must remain.
00:41:56Yes, my lady.
00:41:57Finally, it's done.
00:41:59My back is nearly breaking.
00:42:10What right do you have to throw my things?
00:42:13Newcomers sleep in the stables.
00:42:15That is the palace way.
00:42:17Get moving!
00:42:19Better hurry, before the dung piles up and you've nowhere to lie down.
00:42:24It is freezing tonight.
00:42:26How can you expect a person to sleep in the stables?
00:42:36I heard that horse, Yenna, can keep you warm.
00:42:41We aren't lying.
00:42:42These are the palace rules.
00:42:43You wouldn't dare refuse, would you?
00:42:49Why are you targeting me?
00:42:51What have I done?
00:42:53You're a thief.
00:42:55Official Dora was merciful.
00:42:57You're lucky you're going to the stables and not the dungeon.
00:43:00I am no thief.
00:43:03Stop your malicious lies.
00:43:05Not a thief?
00:43:07Next you'll say the emperor himself gave it to you.
00:43:11Look at yourself.
00:43:12You're not fit to touch his shadow.
00:43:23I just need my blanket.
00:43:25I cannot survive the night in the stables without it.
00:43:28Such bold words.
00:43:30This is the palace.
00:43:31Nothing here is yours.
00:43:32Don't think your protectors can save you from our ways.
00:43:35You're not going in.
00:43:36Out of my way.
00:43:51Julia, are you all right?
00:43:53Are you hurt?
00:43:54Stop!
00:43:55You dare raise a hand within these walls?
00:43:57Have you grown tired of living?
00:43:59Commander Damon?
00:44:01What are you doing here?
00:44:03Wait, then who is he?
00:44:08You have signed your death warrant.
00:44:10Have mercy, your majesty.
00:44:12Please, spare us.
00:44:13It wasn't intentional.
00:44:15We never meant for her to get hurt.
00:44:21You...
00:44:21You are Augustus?
00:44:27Is it true?
00:44:30Are you truly the emperor?
00:44:42Don't reveal your real identity.
00:44:49Forgive me, my lady.
00:44:50I was just passing by when I saw this girl being mistreated.
00:44:53I acted without thinking to help her.
00:44:55I meant no disrespect.
00:44:57Thank the guards.
00:44:58He's just a guard.
00:44:59He nearly scared me to death.
00:45:01But Damon, you never leave the emperor's side.
00:45:03Why are you with this common guard?
00:45:09Damon.
00:45:10What is going on here?
00:45:12Who is this man?
00:45:19Oh, oh right.
00:45:21This young guard here happens to look a bit like his majesty.
00:45:23I came to the palace specifically to question his background.
00:45:26Fearing someone might impersonate the emperor and cause trouble.
00:45:28You.
00:45:29You're a new guard.
00:45:30How can you be so ignorant of the rules?
00:45:32Don't you know the palace isn't a place to wander in and out of?
00:45:35Apologize at once.
00:45:42I wouldn't dare do it again.
00:45:44It is all my fault.
00:45:46This guard was only worried about me, which is why he rushed in so recklessly.
00:45:50If you know you are wrong, then leave at once.
00:45:53Get out of my sight.
00:46:08After such a serious incident, official Dora didn't punish her at all?
00:46:12Talk about favoritism.
00:46:13And that business with the emperor's ring.
00:46:15It was completely hushed up too.
00:46:16I have no idea who is backing her, but they must be incredibly powerful.
00:46:21Tell me, if the real Augustus found out someone stole his ring and dared to impersonate him,
00:46:26what would he do?
00:46:27Would he order an immediate execution?
00:46:31Julia is a good girl.
00:46:33She is hardworking, steady, and has a pure heart.
00:46:37Mother, does that mean Julia has passed your test?
00:46:40I'm going to tell her the truth right now.
00:46:42I will make her the empress of Rome and never let her suffer another moment of grievement.
00:46:46My approval does not mean the nobles of the senate will accept a commoner as their empress.
00:46:53Next month is Lupegaria.
00:46:54Why not let Julia oversee the festival sacrifices?
00:46:57If she handles the rituals perfectly, it will prove she is the divinely chosen empress.
00:47:01It will show those nobles that her abilities far surpassed those of their pampered daughters.
00:47:05Very well.
00:47:06Give this ring back to her.
00:47:08Consider it my promise.
00:47:14Julia!
00:47:15Great news!
00:47:17Martyrsenius has decided to put you in charge of next month's Lupegaria sacrifices.
00:47:21But I don't know the first thing about it.
00:47:23Lupegaria is so important, I'm afraid I'll fail.
00:47:25Don't worry.
00:47:26I have full confidence in you.
00:47:28You are more than capable.
00:47:31Besides, I'll be helping you from the shadows.
00:47:34You won't have to do it alone.
00:47:39Oh, and these are palace pastries.
00:47:41I saved them specifically for you.
00:47:48Mmm!
00:47:49It's delicious!
00:47:50I've never tasted anything so wonderful!
00:47:52If you like them, I'll bring them to you often.
00:47:55Often?
00:47:55That might not be wise.
00:47:57I heard there are guards patrolling nearby constantly.
00:47:59We shouldn't meet so openly.
00:48:01What if someone sees us?
00:48:02Trust me, they won't.
00:48:04Julia, once the Lupegaria festival is over, wait for me in this courtyard.
00:48:07I have something very important to tell you.
00:48:11Okay.
00:48:17It has been three full days, and yet not a single summons from his majesty.
00:48:24Has he completely lost all regard for me?
00:48:28I heard his majesty has been frequently visiting the servants' quarters to see a girl in secret.
00:48:33What?
00:48:34I am his childhood sweetheart, the future empress of Rome.
00:48:38Which slit dares to be so bold as to seduce the emperor right under my nose?
00:48:49My hand!
00:48:51You dare burn me!
00:48:54Forgive me, Lady Leora.
00:48:56It wasn't on purpose.
00:48:57I was just so nervous.
00:48:59Please, have mercy!
00:49:00Lady Leora is the treasurer's daughter, a high noble of the senate and our future empress.
00:49:05Eva has truly offended someone she can't afford to cross.
00:49:08Yes, Lupegaria is almost here.
00:49:11With my hand like this, how can I stand beside the emperor for the ritual?
00:49:15How can I be worthy of being empress?
00:49:18Guards!
00:49:18Take this wretch to the coliseum and feed her to the beasts!
00:49:22Mercy!
00:49:23Lady Leora, please spare me!
00:49:24I'll never do it again!
00:49:26I can heal that burn for you.
00:49:36You?
00:49:37Who are you?
00:49:38My name is Julia.
00:49:39My father is a spice merchant, so I have been familiar with herbs since childhood.
00:49:43I know of a plant that can soothe burns.
00:49:46It is very effective.
00:49:48A merchant's daughter?
00:49:49My lady, why not try it?
00:49:51You have nothing to lose.
00:49:52If she fails to heal you, it won't be too late to punish her then.
00:50:03I have one request.
00:50:05I knew it!
00:50:06Fine, how many gold coins do you want?
00:50:09I want no gold.
00:50:10I only ask that if I heal your hand, you spare Eva.
00:50:15Playing the Morton, are we?
00:50:17Fine, Julia, I agree.
00:50:18But mark my words.
00:50:20If you fail, your lives are forfeit, both of them.
00:50:26Huh.
00:50:27Truly doesn't hurt as much.
00:50:29And the swelling has gone down.
00:50:32Apply this juice to the wound every day for a few days.
00:50:35The burn will heal quickly without leaving a scar.
00:50:39I used to bully you constantly, yet today you saved my life.
00:50:44I am so sorry, Julia.
00:50:46Please, forgive me.
00:50:48The past is in the past.
00:50:50Let's not speak of it again.
00:50:53From now on, we shall be like sisters, and look out for one each other.
00:51:00Okay, don't.
00:51:04What?
00:51:05Julia is that lowly servant who's been seducing his majesty?
00:51:15My lady, please do not be angry.
00:51:17If his majesty truly loved her, why would he leave her as a mere maid?
00:51:20She is no threat to your position.
00:51:22True.
00:51:23His majesty is likely just bored and finds her a novelty.
00:51:27Perhaps I judged her too harshly.
00:51:29My lady, that Julia is nothing but a slut who seduces every man she sees.
00:51:36She is pure evil.
00:51:40I am a maid in the domestic office with Julia, and I know her better than anyone.
00:51:44Not only is she lazy, but she constantly flirts with the guards.
00:51:47Worse, she is a thief.
00:51:48She stole the emperor's own ring.
00:51:52The emperor's ring?
00:51:53You mean the wooden one?
00:51:55The one he's worn since childhood?
00:51:57The one meant for the future empress?
00:51:59Such an audacious wretch!
00:52:00Her intentions are treasonous!
00:52:02I will never let her get away with this!
00:52:04My lady, I heard that slut is in charge of organizing the Luperia sacrifice.
00:52:09I have a plan.
00:52:11Do you want to ever align your journey?
00:52:14Good.
00:52:15We'll do it.
00:52:18Julia, Lupergarious will be the day you die!
00:52:35Be careful.
00:52:37Whatever you do, don't drop it.
00:52:39Julia, you've done a magnificent job!
00:52:41The nobles are all praising how well the sacrifice was organized.
00:52:44Even Matarsenius looked pleased and couldn't stop complimenting you.
00:52:47That is a relief.
00:52:48I'm glad I didn't fail the trust Matarsenius placed in me.
00:52:51I heard your little guard is waiting for you in the backyard.
00:52:54He says he has something important to tell you.
00:52:56Go on.
00:52:59Assassin!
00:53:00Catch the Lupercali assassin!
00:53:02Block all exits.
00:53:03No one is allowed to leave.
00:53:04What?
00:53:05What's happening?
00:53:06How could there be an assassin at the sacrifice?
00:53:08Assassin disguised as a guard just tried to stab Lady Leora, the treasurer's daughter.
00:53:14Lady Leora is the daughter of the treasurer and the companion of his majesty's youth.
00:53:19She is our desestined empress.
00:53:22This is an act of high treason that must be investigated to the fullest extent.
00:53:26What are you doing?
00:53:29I am innocent.
00:53:31I truly did nothing wrong.
00:53:33I didn't conspire with any assassin.
00:53:36You cannot do this to me.
00:53:40Lady Leora, Julia has been brought before you.
00:53:48Lady Leora, I truly know nothing of this.
00:53:51You were the one in charge of organizing the sacrifice.
00:53:54An assassin slipped in under your watch.
00:53:56Do you really dare to say you knew nothing?
00:54:02How dare you arrange an assassination at the Luperalia festival?
00:54:06What is your motive?
00:54:07Have you been jealous of my position as future empress and decided to get rid of me?
00:54:11I...
00:54:12I truly didn't.
00:54:13Lady Leora, I was responsible for the event, but I swear I know nothing about an assassin.
00:54:18You refuse to confess?
00:54:20Don't be a fool, Julia.
00:54:22The whip will wring the truth out of you soon enough.
00:54:25Weren't you given full responsibility for the Lupastia sacrifice?
00:54:29An assassin infiltrated a heavily guarded site and you claim ignorance?
00:54:34That is gross negligence.
00:54:36And negligence is a capital offense.
00:54:38Indeed.
00:54:39The palace is guarded day and night.
00:54:41No ordinary person could simply walk in unless Julia conspired with the assassin and let him in.
00:54:47There is no other explanation.
00:54:50I truly know nothing of the assassin.
00:54:52Please, Lady Leora, give me some time.
00:54:54I will find the truth and prove my innocence.
00:54:56Give you time?
00:54:58You merely seek to crawl to his majesty and hide behind his favor.
00:55:01Do not think your transparent schemes escape my notice.
00:55:04His majesty?
00:55:06Still acting?
00:55:07You think I don't know?
00:55:09You are the slut who has been seducing the emperor with a face like that.
00:55:12No wonder you're so restless.
00:55:14Even if his majesty chose a commoner, it wouldn't be a lowly rat like you!
00:55:20I have never seduced the emperor.
00:55:23I've never even seen his face.
00:55:24How could I seduce him?
00:55:26Have you forgotten that I healed your burn just two days ago?
00:55:29How can you repay my mindness with such outrageous accusations?
00:55:33You dare question me?
00:55:34You arrogant wretch!
00:55:36God, seize this unrepentant slut!
00:55:39Look closely, Julia!
00:55:41You are standing before the daughter of the treasurer,
00:55:43the woman chosen by Marta Senius to be emperor.
00:55:46To talk back now is pure suicide!
00:55:48If you are the treasurer's daughter and the future empress,
00:55:51you should be reasonable and just.
00:55:52I have never even seen the emperor.
00:55:54How could I seduce him?
00:55:56Besides, I am already married.
00:55:58I would never seek another.
00:56:02You are married?
00:56:04Who is your husband?
00:56:06His... his majesty?
00:56:14My lady, don't let her fool you!
00:56:16This ring was stolen by her husband!
00:56:19Her husband is just a minor guard in the palace.
00:56:21I saw it myself.
00:56:22They steal at night and flirt openly during the day.
00:56:25It is an absolute outrage!
00:56:27My husband is indeed a guard.
00:56:29But we have never been inappropriate in public.
00:56:32And we are certainly not seen!
00:56:34As if anyone would believe you!
00:56:35Lady Leora, I bet the assassin who attacked you was none other than her guard husband!
00:56:39This rash on my face has lasted for days.
00:56:42The court physicians have prescribed so many ointments, but none of them seem to work.
00:56:47Matasenatus, I heard that Julia healed Lady Leora's burn with just a handful of herbs last month.
00:56:53Perhaps we should let Julia examine you.
00:56:55I didn't realize Julia was so skilled.
00:56:58Go and summon her.
00:56:59Once this rash is gone, it will be time for his majesty to name her empress.
00:57:03Matasenatus!
00:57:05Terrible news!
00:57:06Lady Leora has arrested Julia and is about to have her tortured.
00:57:11This is madness.
00:57:12Quick, come with me.
00:57:14You refuse to find the truth, choosing instead to frame the innocent and abuse your power.
00:57:21It is your actions that offend the gods, and you will surely be punished.
00:57:26Guards!
00:57:27Fetch the whip!
00:57:28I will have a confession from her today!
00:57:30Palace law dictates that no noble has the right to use private torture except for Matasenus and the emperor!
00:57:37My lady, I shall go to Matasenus now, and get an order to have both her and her guard husband
00:57:43arrested and executed as a warning to others.
00:57:49And who exactly is it you want me to execute?
00:57:58Release her!
00:58:04You show no respect for palace law and use illegal torture.
00:58:08Who gave you permission to cause such chaos during the Lupefaria sacrifice?
00:58:12I am the emperor's chosen companion, the future empress of Rome.
00:58:16To discipline a lowly servant is my prerogative.
00:58:19I will soon rule these halls.
00:58:21Who are you to stand in my path and preach to me?
00:58:24Insolence!
00:58:25Do you truly have no idea to whom you are speaking?
00:58:27You're just some low-born old official.
00:58:30If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never learn your place.
00:58:32Guards!
00:58:32Seize her as well!
00:58:33I never imagined you would be so venerful and disrespectful of rank.
00:58:37I was blind to let someone like you near his majesty!
00:58:40Ha!
00:58:40You think your mate is Senenus?
00:58:42You're just an old woman too ashamed to show her face.
00:58:45You must have a death wish.
00:58:49Let's see who dares.
00:58:53Guards!
00:58:53Bring me my whip!
00:58:54I'm going to teach this arrogant old crone a lesson she'll never forget.
00:58:58Lady Leora, you cannot!
00:59:00Palace law forbids the private whipping of court officials.
00:59:02If his majesty or Marta Senenus finds out, they will be furious.
00:59:05Please, have mercy!
00:59:06Get away from me, you slut!
00:59:24Why isn't Julia here yet?
00:59:27The sacrifice ended quite a while ago.
00:59:31Could something have happened?
00:59:32Your majesty, it is a disaster.
00:59:34Lady Leora has arrested Julia and is attempting to torture your mother, Marta Senenus.
00:59:40Damn it!
00:59:41Leora is cruel and arrogant.
00:59:42Something has gone wrong!
00:59:55Leora, you dare commit such violence and harm palace staff at a sacred site?
01:00:01Have you no fear of the gods' wrath?
01:00:04Lady Leora, it was I who offended you.
01:00:07It is all my fault.
01:00:08Please, do not involve official Dora.
01:00:11Huh, you certainly love playing the Marta.
01:00:14Since you are so eager to take this old crone's punishment, I will grant your wish.
01:00:18I'll make sure you learn the price of disobedience so you never meddle again.
01:00:21Enough, Leora.
01:00:22In the name of Marta Senenus, I warn you for the last time, do not push this too far.
01:00:26The Emperor will never forgive you for this.
01:00:28You're just a lowly old servant too afraid to show your face, yet you dare claim to be Marta Senenus?
01:00:33Today, I shall punish you on behalf of the Emperor.
01:00:35The assassin has been apprehended.
01:00:37He waits your judgment at the threshold.
01:00:39Bring him in at once.
01:00:41Let everyone see the ironclap proof that this slut conspired with an assassin.
01:00:54Julia conspired with this guard to breach palace security and arrange an assassination against me.
01:01:00Guards, execute them both immediately as an example.
01:01:08I would like to see who dares.
01:01:12Your Majesty, how could it be you?
01:01:18Mother.
01:01:21His Majesty Augustus, Mata Senorius.
01:01:31How is this impossible?
01:01:34How could she be Mata Senorius?
01:01:36Leora, I believe that as a daughter of nobility, you would be wise and kind.
01:01:41I never expected such heartless cruelty.
01:01:44You insult your superiors and abuse the law.
01:01:47You dream of being empress?
01:01:50Never.
01:01:54No.
01:01:55Please.
01:01:57Mata Senorius.
01:01:58I know I was wrong.
01:01:59Please.
01:02:00Forgive me.
01:02:02Your Majesty, we grew up together.
01:02:04Please.
01:02:04Please.
01:02:05Do not abandon me.
01:02:07You attempted to use illegal torture without even knowing the truth.
01:02:11If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have committed a terrible crime.
01:02:15This is your own doing.
01:02:16Majesty.
01:02:17I didn't mean it.
01:02:18It was all Kaya.
01:02:21It was Kaya who gave me these ideas.
01:02:25Kaya, for spreading malicious rumors and violating palace law, you are sent to the Coliseum as a slave.
01:02:31Mata Senorius.
01:02:32I was wrong.
01:02:33Please spare me this one.
01:02:37Your Majesty, I may have been wrong, but Julia was the organizer of the Lupagania sacrifice.
01:02:43She must be held responsible for the assassination attempt.
01:02:48If Your Majesty hadn't been here today, Lady Leora would have been in terrible danger.
01:02:53Your Majesty, my life is of no consequence, but the safety of the palace is paramount.
01:02:59Julia must be punished.
01:03:01If assassins can enter the palace like this, who will protect us in the future?
01:03:05I beg you, punish Julia.
01:03:15If there is evidence that Julia is innocent, what should be the fate of those who framed her?
01:03:20Leora, I am asking you.
01:03:22If Julia is proven innocent, what should be your punishment?
01:03:25I am willing to be demoted to a slave and never set foot in the palace again.
01:03:29Fine.
01:03:30It is settled.
01:03:31Guards, bring him in.
01:03:39Your Majesty's foresight was undearing.
01:03:41As commanded, I stationed sentries at every exit.
01:03:45We captured the assassin as he fled and have secured his confession.
01:03:48Mercy, Your Majesty, it was Lady Leora's father, the treasurer, who forced me.
01:03:54He made me disguise myself as a guard and attack Lady Leora to frame Julia.
01:03:58He wanted to get rid of Julia so Leora could become Empress.
01:04:01I had no choice.
01:04:02Please spare me.
01:04:06It's over.
01:04:08Everything is ruined.
01:04:11Do you know why I believe in Julia?
01:04:14Because she is my wife.
01:04:16The true empress of the Roman Empire.
01:04:22Cast Leora out of the palace.
01:04:24She is barred from entering forever.
01:04:27Furthermore, arrest the treasurer and throw him into the dungeon to await his sentence.
01:04:37I hate you!
01:04:38If it weren't for you, all of this would be mine.
01:04:40The throne would be mine and the emperor would be mine.
01:04:42You ruined everything!
01:04:43You are wrong.
01:04:44The person who brought you to this end was never me.
01:04:47It was you.
01:04:48Your own greed, jealousy and cruelty led you here.
01:04:51You have only yourself to blame.
01:04:56I am sorry for all the suffering you've endured.
01:05:00It doesn't matter now, your majesty.
01:05:02Do not call me your majesty.
01:05:03Call me Marcus.
01:05:05Only you may call me that.
01:05:06Marcus.
01:05:07Now that the guilty have been punished, all misunderstandings are resolved.
01:05:15From this day forth, I declare before the gods,
01:05:18Julia is the eternal and only empress of the Roman Empire.
01:05:48Dad, tell them.
01:05:49Tell everyone this jerk is lying.
01:05:52Silver Creek belongs to the black.
01:05:54Mr. Vaughn, I am so sorry.
01:05:57I had no idea it was you.
01:05:58Dad, what are you doing?
01:05:59Why are you apologizing to him?
01:06:01He's the one who crashed my wedding.
01:06:03Mr. Vaughn, please forgive my son.
01:06:06He's young.
01:06:06He's foolish.
01:06:08I'll do anything to make this right.
01:06:11Dad, have you lost your mind?
01:06:12You have any idea who you're messing with?
01:06:15Our farms, our funds, this entire town, it all belongs to Vaughn Holdings.
01:06:20What?
01:06:21Everything we have, we owe him.
01:06:27From this day on, I want every trace of the black family gone from my land.
01:06:31As for the damage you've caused to my wedding venue, my lawyers will be in touch.
01:06:35You'll either pay until you're bankrupt, or you'll rot in a cell.
01:06:38All these years, I've fought so hard, only to lose to you.
01:06:44Jenna, sweetie, don't be angry.
01:06:46We're family.
01:06:47We were always here for your wedding.
01:06:49You wouldn't really make your own sister pay all that money, would you?
01:06:53She's right.
01:06:54You can't treat us like this.
01:06:56You were ready to drag me out of here just now.
01:07:00My wedding is no place for people who don't love me.
01:07:03I never want to see any of you again.
01:07:13Do you take this man to be your husband?
01:07:15I do.
01:07:16And do you take this woman to be your wife?
01:07:19I absolutely do.
01:07:21Yes, sir!
01:07:21Yes, sir!
01:07:22Yes, sir!
01:07:23Yes, sir!
01:07:28Open fire!
01:07:29Yes, sir!
01:07:30No!
01:07:31No!
01:07:47Their scents have merged perfectly.
01:07:49They are fated mates.
01:08:00What is this power?
01:08:11This is the power of my scent and my blood.
01:08:14It can soothe an alpha in a mindless rage.
01:08:22But this power only reaches its peak when I'm with my fated mate.
01:08:27Your fated mate?
01:08:29That's right.
01:08:30It's you.
01:08:31Loghain, you're the one.
01:08:33No and I are just friends.
01:08:38I love you, Ava.
01:08:41You will always be my one and only, Lona.
01:08:48Ava, take your mother and your friend.
01:08:52Let's get out of here, away from these pathetic, greedy people.
01:09:00From this day on, I'm done with the Hale family.
01:09:03Like you, I'm living only for myself.
01:09:05Hm.
