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, the mere spice merchants to climb the social ladder.
00:00:22Your betrothals will determine if this family joins the nobility.
00:00:25Be careful when you throw those weeds.
00:00:27Whoever secures the highest status husband will be the family hero.
00:00:32Baby, mummy knows you will marry much better than Julia.
00:00:36Sister, let me go first.
00:00:43Gaius, we've been in love for two years.
00:00:46He promised he would only catch my wreath today.
00:00:53Throw it to me, Miss Chloe Quinteria!
00:00:55I love you!
00:00:56Miss Chloe Quinteria!
00:00:57Gaius, what is he doing?
00:00:59We had a pact.
00:01:02Throw it to me, Miss Chloe Quinteria!
00:01:05Gaius!
00:01:05Catch it!
00:01:11Magnificent!
00:01:12The eldest son of the elite Fulius family!
00:01:15Oh dear sister, Gaius caught my wreath.
00:01:18I guess he prefers me.
00:01:19No, this can't be right.
00:01:20No, this can't be right.
00:01:21Gaius and I made a promise.
00:01:22He said he would marry me!
00:01:23Chloe, you are truly my pride and joy.
00:01:30Darling, I will give you the grandest imperial wedding the Empire has ever seen.
00:01:38Gaius!
00:01:39Don't you owe me an explanation?
00:01:41I'm the one you're dating!
00:01:44Sorry Julia, you have no maternal backing.
00:01:47And your father doesn't value you.
00:01:49I have to marry your stepsister.
00:01:51Then what were the last two years for?
00:01:54Sister, isn't it obvious?
00:01:56Gaius was just playing with you.
00:01:57Now the men below are still waiting for your wreath.
00:02:00Who knows?
00:02:00Maybe even the Emperor is down there.
00:02:06Your Majesty, you've been undercover as a beggar for three months to expose the nobles' crimes.
00:02:15Let the Praetorian Guard handle the rest.
00:02:20There's evidence I must secure subversion.
00:02:22Besides, being out here is a perfect way to dodge my mother's marriage demands.
00:02:25Two birds, one stone.
00:02:34Don't go.
00:02:35Your destiny's right down there.
00:02:54Look!
00:02:55Quintius's oldest daughter has chosen a beggar!
00:03:06A rich eyeless picking a beggar at a wreath ceremony!
00:03:09This is gonna be quite the show!
00:03:13How did that handmade Ruth end up on a beggar's head?
00:03:17Sister, talk about bad luck.
00:03:19Of all people, you picked a beggar.
00:03:21How is father ever going to show his face again?
00:03:23You useless girl!
00:03:25Out of all these people, you threw it to a beggar!
00:03:27You're doing this just to humiliate me!
00:03:32Well, don't be discouraged, sister.
00:03:33You'll be poor, but I'm sure he's an expert at scavenging leftovers.
00:03:37At least you won't starve!
00:03:39A grand lady marrying a beggar!
00:03:42Surely Mr. Quintius will go back on his words!
00:03:45If she doesn't marry him, your word is worth nothing!
00:03:48You'll be finished in this city!
00:03:50Marry him!
00:03:52Marry him!
00:03:53Marry him!
00:03:56Marry him!
00:03:57Marry him!
00:03:58Marry him!
00:04:02Marry him!
00:04:02You!
00:04:03When shut!
00:04:05Are you trying to run away from the engagement?
00:04:11Your Majesty!
00:04:13Why did you catch it?
00:04:14This means a binding marriage contract.
00:04:16Toss it, quickly!
00:04:17It's fine, I'm poor and filthy right now.
00:04:19A high-born lady like her would never actually agree to marry me.
00:04:22Why are you running?
00:04:23You threw the wreath yourself!
00:04:24No one forced you!
00:04:25You rebellious girl!
00:04:26Look at this beggar you've been scaled!
00:04:28If you marry him, our family will be the laughingstock of the Empire!
00:04:31After today's feast, I've finally seen these so-called nobles for the hypocrites they are.
00:04:36I'd rather marry a commoner and escape the schemes than spend my life as a pawn for noble alliances.
00:04:43Julia, the law of the wreath is absolute.
00:04:46If it lands on him, you must marry him, even if he is a beggar!
00:04:57I am willing to marry this gentleman.
00:05:05My name is Julia Quintilia.
00:05:07What is yours?
00:05:09My name is Marcus Aurelius.
00:05:11Marcus Aurelius?
00:05:12Why does that name sound so familiar?
00:05:15It's a common name.
00:05:16Rome is full of them.
00:05:17There's nothing strange about it.
00:05:19Let everyone witness.
00:05:22I take this man as my husband.
00:05:25You truly have no regrets.
00:05:27I have nothing.
00:05:29I am a wanderer with no hope.
00:05:31I do.
00:05:32We both have hands and feet.
00:05:34We can build our own future.
00:05:35If we work hard and find jobs, we will be just fine.
00:05:38I've never met a girl so easily satisfied.
00:05:40It's a pity.
00:05:41I cannot tell her who I truly am just yet.
00:05:43I promise you I will never fail you.
00:05:45Enough!
00:05:45Treating a beggar like a prize, you are throwing your entire future away!
00:05:49A future isn't built on status, but on character and virtue.
00:05:51He may be dressed in rags, but he lacks the arrogance and hypocrisy of the nobility.
00:05:55I believe he will be a good husband, worthy of my life.
00:05:57She must marry him!
00:05:58You said whoever was hit must marry.
00:06:00If you break your word, no one will ever trust the Quintius family again.
00:06:04Yes!
00:06:05She must marry him!
00:06:06No backing out now!
00:06:07Julia!
00:06:07If you insist on marrying this beggar, I won't spend a single con your wedding!
00:06:11Very well, father.
00:06:14Soon, I will be a noble lady, while you will be a beggar's wife.
00:06:18From this day forward, you are beneath me.
00:06:20Being a beggar's wife isn't scary.
00:06:22What's scary is sharing a bed with a soul that isn't yours.
00:06:25Gaius is ripped, but he's a calculator.
00:06:28You'd better watch your own back.
00:06:39Then, we shall hold our wedding at the temple in three days.
00:06:44My mother is obsessed with getting me married anyway.
00:06:47So why not?
00:06:50Good.
00:06:51I will be there.
00:07:01The two Quintia's daughters are marrying today.
00:07:04But look at the difference.
00:07:05It's insane.
00:07:06It's more than that.
00:07:07The younger one married a relative of the Emperor and will live in luxury.
00:07:10The eldest married a beggar and will only know suffering.
00:07:19Sister, why are you here alone?
00:07:21Where's your husband?
00:07:23Did even that beggar dump you?
00:07:27He didn't seem like the type to break his word.
00:07:30I'm here.
00:07:39Who is this?
00:07:40He's more radiant than the nobles of the Senate.
00:07:47Forgive me, Julia.
00:07:48I kept you waiting.
00:07:50Are you...
00:07:52Are you Marcus the Beggar?
00:08:00What?!
00:08:03That's no beggar.
00:08:04He's an absolute stunner with incredible class.
00:08:07They look so perfect together.
00:08:09I'm obsessed.
00:08:10He's not rich, yet he dressed with such care for our wedding.
00:08:13I was right about him.
00:08:14He's a man I can trust with my life.
00:08:16Do something.
00:08:17I won't let a beggar outshine me.
00:08:29This sapphire is a full five carats worth ten million asses.
00:08:39It is the symbol of my undying love for you.
00:08:46This ring was a gift from the god Jupiter himself.
00:08:50My ancestors told me I must personally place it on the finger of my true wife.
00:08:56A gift from a god?
00:08:57A beggar meeting a god?
00:08:59You probably found that in a woodshed.
00:09:02This is a holy temple.
00:09:03How dare you present such rush before the gods?
00:09:06You are a disgrace to the Quinterius name!
00:09:09This is supposed to be a legitimate marriage contract, and you bring this?
00:09:13Julia, aren't you absolutely humiliated?
00:09:16Marriage is about the connection of souls, not the price of a ring.
00:09:20I have chosen Marcus as my husband, and nothing you say can change my heart.
00:09:24Silence! Haven't you brought enough shame to this family?
00:09:26Don't waste your health on such an ungrateful daughter.
00:09:29She'll be living in squabby with this Gregor soon enough, then she'll realize just how catastrophic her mistake was.
00:09:35Next, we seal the union of Miss Julia Quintalia and...
00:09:39Wait... Augustus?
00:09:43Are you...
00:09:45Emperor Augustus?
00:09:53May the god Jupiter bless you both with eternal happiness.
00:09:59Mr. Quintius, you are truly fortunate. Your daughter has climbed a very tall tree indeed.
00:10:06Of course. My Chloe deserves nothing less than the best.
00:10:11Some people don't even have a real wedding ring, they just have scrap wood.
00:10:15Unlike me, with this priceless sapphire.
00:10:20Just endure it!
00:10:22You must have eaten too much lately, your fingers are too fat!
00:10:26Damn it! Didn't you say this was custom made?
00:10:29You may now seal your vows with a kiss.
00:10:33May I?
00:10:35If you do.
00:10:36In the name of Jupiter, you are now husband and wife.
00:10:41Of course.
00:10:59That's the same thing to see.
00:11:00assumptions inside the women of Jupiter is the same wind
00:11:09Julia, I will never let you get away with this.
00:11:16Where are you taking me?
00:11:18To our home.
00:11:20Are we moving in together?
00:11:23Of course.
00:11:25From this day on, you are my one and only wife.
00:11:29My lord.
00:11:33Damon.
00:11:34Forgive me, master.
00:11:36We found a place that fits your destitute commoner disguise, but...
00:11:39The rat infestate is severe.
00:11:41It will take at least two days to make it habitable for you.
00:11:44What?
00:11:45But, master, we have a backup plan.
00:11:47It's much better.
00:11:52I am so sorry.
00:11:54I'll find us a proper home as soon as I can.
00:11:57Actually, I...
00:11:59Oh!
00:12:05Spending my wedding night in a tentarium?
00:12:07Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamed of sleeping under the stars.
00:12:13Thank you, Marcus.
00:12:15I know things are hard for you, yet you still did your best to give me this.
00:12:19She's a merchant's daughter, yet she's so easily satisfied.
00:12:22Her father must have been incredibly cruel to her.
00:12:29Wait.
00:12:30Why is there music playing out here in the wilderness?
00:12:37It must be a blessing from Jupiter.
00:13:01It must be a blessing from Jupiter.
00:13:16Yeah!
00:13:18Hey!
00:13:19Wake up!
00:13:20Pitching tents on restricted city grounds is illegal.
00:13:22Move out immediately.
00:13:24Apologies.
00:13:25We will be gone soon and won't trouble you again.
00:13:28Wait!
00:13:29You are...
00:13:30His Majesty Oscars!
00:13:33What Majesty?
00:13:34Shh!
00:13:36Who is...
00:13:37His Majesty?
00:13:43Good heavens, sir!
00:13:45Look!
00:13:45That man is stealing your carriage!
00:13:47Stop him, quick!
00:13:52Damn it!
00:13:53That's the third one this month!
00:13:55I'm catching that thief today!
00:13:57What was that about His Majesty?
00:13:59Just a joke.
00:14:00Pitching a tent in a forbidden zone.
00:14:03Who do you think you are, the Emperor?
00:14:07Julia, I'll find us a better home.
00:14:09Very soon.
00:14:10It's my father's birthday today.
00:14:12I want to visit home.
00:14:13After how he treated you.
00:14:15Are you sure you want to go back?
00:14:16I believe he still loves me.
00:14:18He's just blinded by prejudice for now.
00:14:21Fine.
00:14:22I'll go with you.
00:14:23I'll bake some pastries for him before we go.
00:14:25And I'll help you.
00:14:32Master, the target you're investigating has appeared near the market.
00:14:37Forgive me, Julia.
00:14:39I can't go in with you.
00:14:40It's okay.
00:14:41I'll be fine on my own.
00:14:43Julia, when I return, I'll tell you everything.
00:14:46Immediately prepare a lavish, dignified gift for Mr. Quentius' birthday.
00:14:51Yes, sire.
00:14:59I've returned.
00:15:03Who invited you, Julia?
00:15:08Who invited you, Julia?
00:15:12It's my father's birthday.
00:15:14I've come to pay my respects and offer my blessings.
00:15:17So this is the eldest Quentius' daughter who insisted on marrying a beggar.
00:15:22Crashing the party.
00:15:23Where's your beggar husband?
00:15:25Too ashamed to show his face?
00:15:26Marcus has personal business to attend to.
00:15:29Personal business?
00:15:30For a commoner, he's not exactly the emperor, is he?
00:15:33He's just terrified of being the laughingstock.
00:15:37I bet he's already bored of you.
00:15:39Abandoned on the second day of marriage, why not become my mistress instead?
00:15:43I am doing just fine.
00:15:45We are very much in love.
00:15:46As for you, Chloe, if this man could deceive and abandon me,
00:15:50he'll do the same to you the moment a better offer comes along.
00:15:53You, you married a homeless beggar.
00:15:56My daughter married a noble.
00:15:58There is no comparison.
00:15:59Look at these.
00:16:00These are the lavish gifts Gaius brought.
00:16:07And this contract, I shall petition His Majesty Augustus to grant the Quintius family a title of nobility.
00:16:17You said you came to visit father.
00:16:20Father, so where is your gift?
00:16:27Father, I made these honey cakes myself.
00:16:30I hope you like them.
00:16:35Honey cakes?
00:16:36What are those worth, a few copper?
00:16:38How embarrassing.
00:16:39It's a gift from the heart.
00:16:40From my husband and me.
00:16:42Heart?
00:16:42Is a beggar's sentiment worth anything?
00:16:45Julia, you are a total disgrace to my name.
00:16:49Throw her out.
00:16:50I never want to see her again.
00:16:54Varus Quintius, the Imperial Palace has sent birthday gifts.
00:17:02The palace?
00:17:03His Majesty?
00:17:04I don't have nearly enough status for the Emperor to send me gifts.
00:17:08It is because of your daughter.
00:17:10Is it her or her?
00:17:15Such lavish gifts.
00:17:18Could it be the eldest daughter didn't marry a commoner after all?
00:17:21You must be mistaken.
00:17:23Julia married a beggar.
00:17:25There's no way she has palace connections.
00:17:27You're a relative of the Emperor.
00:17:28One of your uncles must have sent this for you, right?
00:17:30Oh, very likely.
00:17:32They must have been worried my own gift wasn't grand enough, so they sent a backer.
00:17:36See?
00:17:37I told you.
00:17:38A beggar could never afford such luxury.
00:17:40You two are the ones who truly bring honor to this family.
00:17:44Unlike Julia, you truly sicken me.
00:17:47From now on, I have only one daughter.
00:17:49Julia is no daughter of mine.
00:17:50Chloe married a noble and suddenly she's his only child.
00:17:53My handmade gift means nothing to him.
00:17:56They say a father's love is unconditional.
00:17:58But you, you just see daughters as bargaining chips for profit.
00:18:02How dare you speak to me that way?
00:18:12Costas?
00:18:14Shh.
00:18:19There are no words at all.
00:18:24I must have misseen it.
00:18:26That's mine!
00:18:27Give it back!
00:18:28There's no way Julia's beggar is his majesty.
00:18:35Is this thing made of wood?
00:18:38No!
00:18:39Treasuring a beggar's track?
00:18:41Disgusting.
00:18:42Chloe, I'm begging you.
00:18:44Give it back.
00:18:44It's from my husband.
00:18:45He's the only person who ever chose me.
00:18:47I'll do anything.
00:18:48Just give me the ring, please.
00:18:52You said it.
00:18:53Guard, bring the thorns from the backyard and pave the floor.
00:19:05What are you doing?
00:19:07My sources say Madam is being ruthlessly mistreated at her father's house.
00:19:14Yeah!
00:19:16Yeah!
00:19:17Yeah!
00:19:17Julia, hold on!
00:19:21You said it yourself.
00:19:23Anything.
00:19:25Crawl to me on your knees across these thorns and I'll give you the ring.
00:19:30Father, are you really letting her do this?
00:19:33I am your daughter too.
00:19:35Do you really want me to kneel?
00:19:37I told you!
00:19:38The moment you married that beggar, you shamed this family.
00:19:42You are no daughter of mine.
00:19:44That ring isn't just a symbol of our love.
00:19:46It's something my husband treasures.
00:19:48I have to get it back.
00:19:49My ancestors told Janus to personally place it on the finger of my true wife.
00:19:54Fine!
00:19:55I'll kneel!
00:19:56But once I'm done, I'm dead to this family.
00:20:11Julia, wait for me!
00:20:14Julia!
00:20:22Julia, wait for me!
00:20:35En Terry!
00:20:38Enough!
00:20:55Hurry!
00:21:26This is the price of marrying a beggar, risking your life for a piece of wood.
00:21:31I guess that's the most valuable thing that stinking beggar owns.
00:21:45I did what you asked. Give me the ring.
00:21:48You're pathetic. For a piece of junk? I almost thought it was something valuable.
00:21:54I'm bored. Here, take it.
00:22:01You...
00:22:02No!
00:22:05My mother told me I must personally place this ring on my future wife's hand.
00:22:11Faster! Faster! Faster!
00:22:36No!
00:22:37No! No!
00:22:38Do you cherish your beggar so much? If I disfigure you, will he still want you?
00:22:46No! No!
00:22:50No!
00:22:51Someone help!
00:22:55Someone help!
00:22:57Help!
00:23:09His Majesty Augustus has arrived!
00:23:16Help!
00:23:32Who dares bully my wife?
00:23:34Who daresay?
00:23:34Come on!
00:23:34No!
00:23:34Oh yes!
00:23:37No!
00:23:38No!
00:23:38No!
00:23:38Yes!
00:23:39No!
00:23:40No!
00:23:42No!
00:23:42No!
00:23:42No!
00:23:44No!
00:23:47No!
00:23:51At least, I didn't lose your ring.
00:23:58His Majesty? Impossible! He's just a beggar!
00:24:02But look at all those guards!
00:24:05Mom! No way! He must have hired actors!
00:24:08I've only seen statues of the Emperor, but he looks exactly like them.
00:24:14Looking like him doesn't make him him.
00:24:16He probably stole those clothes just to save face!
00:24:19What a joke! A beggar playing dress-up at my birthday party!
00:24:24Sister, look at the trash you married.
00:24:27Homeless and now impersonating the Emperor?
00:24:30If His Majesty finds out, you're both dead.
00:24:33You truly have a death wish.
00:24:46You... What are you doing?
00:24:48Julia, let's go.
00:24:51What's wrong?
00:24:53Who did this?
00:24:58I did.
00:24:59So what?
00:25:01Who knew she'd actually crawl through thorns for a piece of wood?
00:25:05Bitch!
00:25:06Shut up!
00:25:06Who the hell do you think you are?
00:25:08You dare shout at me?
00:25:09I'll curse her all I want.
00:25:10She married a loser like you.
00:25:12I am Lady Fulius.
00:25:13If I kill you today, you should thank me.
00:25:16Enough acting!
00:25:17Guards!
00:25:18Arrest this beggar and Julia.
00:25:27No one insults my wife and lives.
00:25:32Seize them!
00:25:46Are you insane?
00:25:48I am Lady Fulius.
00:25:49You dare touch me?
00:25:54Gaius, help me.
00:25:56Whoever kills him gets a hundred thousand Sestereans.
00:26:07You stinking beggar.
00:26:09The Fulvius family are relatives of the Emperor.
00:26:13How dare you?
00:26:14I dare.
00:26:15And I can wipe the Fulius family off the face of the earth.
00:26:20You're overacting, beggar.
00:26:22Let me go before I get really angry and I might spare you.
00:26:26Shove their faces into the sacred fire.
00:26:31Stop!
00:26:31My brother is a consular.
00:26:33You think you'll walk out of here alive?
00:26:37Since when was the consul from the Fulius family?
00:26:40Scared?
00:26:41Then let us go and beg for mercy.
00:26:45Hold them down.
00:26:49My brother will destroy you!
00:26:52You'll regret this beggar!
00:26:54Marcus.
00:26:56His brother is the consul.
00:26:58Maybe we should...
00:26:59No, Julia.
00:27:00They hurt you.
00:27:01I'm making them pay.
00:27:03My brother is a consul.
00:27:04I'll have you all killed!
00:27:06Get off me, you filthy beggar!
00:27:08I'll tear you apart!
00:27:09Stop!
00:27:11Stop!
00:27:12Brother, save me!
00:27:14Help!
00:27:15Help!
00:27:16Help!
00:27:17Go get him!
00:27:21You're the one touching my brother!
00:27:25The Emperor's guard?
00:27:27Why are they here?
00:27:34It's me.
00:27:36So what?
00:27:41Your Majesty?
00:27:46He really is.
00:27:48The Emperor!
00:27:55Augustus?
00:27:56No.
00:27:57He was a beggar.
00:27:58It's impossible.
00:28:00Brother!
00:28:00He's lying!
00:28:01Those clothes are stolen!
00:28:03Those actors are paid!
00:28:04It's fake!
00:28:06Yes, Mr. Isaac.
00:28:07You're mistaken.
00:28:08He's just a beggar.
00:28:09He can't be the Emperor exactly.
00:28:11Why would the Emperor be in this dump?
00:28:14Maybe it is a coincidence.
00:28:16The Emperor would never be here.
00:28:18You rebel!
00:28:19Look at the husband you chose!
00:28:22Impersonating the Emperor and offending the Senate!
00:28:24How will you fix this?
00:28:26This beggar almost killed someone!
00:28:29Don't let him go!
00:28:29In the name of the Consul, take them to the dungeon!
00:28:39My son...
00:28:41His Majesty...
00:28:43...still refuses to come home?
00:28:46I heard...
00:28:47He married a woman out there.
00:28:50Ridiculous!
00:28:51I'm bringing him back myself!
00:28:56In the name of the Consul, take them to the dungeon!
00:28:59In the name of the Consul, you're no Consul.
00:29:03You have no authority here!
00:29:07You beggar!
00:29:09You know nothing of the law!
00:29:11How dare you question my brother!
00:29:17Julia!
00:29:18No one can save you today!
00:29:21I can't let anything happen to my husband!
00:29:27They have the Consul.
00:29:29They have the Consul.
00:29:29We have to go.
00:29:32Your wounds...
00:29:33I'm letting them go for today to save you.
00:29:36Running away?
00:29:38No chance!
00:29:39He enemy!
00:29:52He's gonna be where you go!
00:29:54My poorly emotions...
00:29:54He's gonna be...
00:29:54You're right!
00:29:55Billy!
00:29:55You're right!
00:29:57He's gonna be here!
00:29:58I'm wrong!
00:30:00You're wrong!
00:30:16Marka!
00:30:16Marka!
00:30:19Chloe!
00:30:20We share the same blood.
00:30:22How can you be so heartless?
00:30:25He tried to disfadger me first.
00:30:28I won't let you go that easily.
00:30:31You're dead!
00:30:40Don't bother!
00:30:41Your little actors are too busy to save you!
00:30:44Marcus, go! Save yourself! Just go!
00:30:48Go? He's not going anywhere.
00:30:51Why? Why won't you just leave us alone?
00:30:56You're so lucky, sister.
00:30:58Even a beggar loves you.
00:31:01The more you love him,
00:31:03the more I want to break you.
00:31:06Our grudge is between us!
00:31:08Do what you want to me, but please,
00:31:10let Marcus go!
00:31:14Julia, don't waste your breath.
00:31:17I can't let you pay for my life.
00:31:20How touching.
00:31:22Flirting at death's door.
00:31:24Fine.
00:31:25I'll kill you both together.
00:31:28The Empress' daughter is here!
00:31:29She's here!
00:31:37No!
00:31:40No!
00:31:48Who dares harm my son?
00:31:53Marta Teneron!
00:32:07Our son.
00:32:08He really is the Emperor.
00:32:11Shh!
00:32:16Julia.
00:32:18Julia!
00:32:19Stay with me!
00:32:21Physician!
00:32:22Get a physician!
00:32:28Stretch her now!
00:32:33Your Majesty.
00:32:35Quintius' family is in custody.
00:32:36Marcus!
00:32:37You worried me to death.
00:32:40He really is the Emperor.
00:32:43Arrest the entire Quintius' family!
00:32:45Sell them into slavery!
00:32:52And you, Isaac,
00:32:54you're no consul.
00:32:55Who are you?
00:32:57He's just a eunuch.
00:32:59Fire him
00:33:00and throw him in the dungeon
00:33:02with the rest of them.
00:33:03He really was the Emperor.
00:33:07I chose wrong.
00:33:10Mercy, Your Majesty, please!
00:33:12I was blind.
00:33:14Please,
00:33:15have mercy, Your Majesty.
00:33:17You didn't show Julia mercy.
00:33:19Why should I show you any?
00:33:25It can't be.
00:33:26How?
00:33:28They forced me!
00:33:29It was them!
00:33:30Please!
00:33:31We're relatives!
00:33:32Spare me!
00:33:34Spare me!
00:33:40Mercy, Your Majesty!
00:33:42Please!
00:33:52Go to that girl.
00:33:59Julia,
00:34:00you're awake.
00:34:01Are you hurt?
00:34:02I'm okay.
00:34:04Lie down.
00:34:07The physician said you need rest.
00:34:10How did we get here?
00:34:11I heard Empress.
00:34:13His Majesty.
00:34:15Who saved us?
00:34:18Break the engagement.
00:34:19She isn't right for you.
00:34:21Mother, she's different.
00:34:23She's the woman I've chosen.
00:34:25The royal family isn't simple.
00:34:27If you want her,
00:34:28she must pass my test.
00:34:29But you cannot tell her the truth yet.
00:34:31Mata Senna has saved us.
00:34:34Why would she save us?
00:34:35Do you know her?
00:34:37I'm just a beggar.
00:34:38She just happened to be passing by.
00:34:41Don't worry.
00:34:42I'll protect you from now on.
00:34:43She's giving us jobs in the palace.
00:34:45You as a maid,
00:34:46me as a guard.
00:34:47It's wonderful.
00:34:48We can save up for our own homes.
00:34:53I'm sorry, Julia,
00:34:55for keeping the truth from you.
00:34:57Forgive me.
00:35:02Miss Julia,
00:35:03you will be working here.
00:35:08I will come find you
00:35:10as soon as I am free.
00:35:11All right.
00:35:11I will work hard
00:35:12so we can earn money together
00:35:14and build our little home.
00:35:18Damon,
00:35:19you really should have given me
00:35:21some notice
00:35:21before bringing in a newcomer.
00:35:25Lady Liar,
00:35:26this is Julia.
00:35:26She's new to the palace
00:35:27and still learning the ropes.
00:35:28I'd appreciate it
00:35:29if you could look after her.
00:35:30Do not let her suffer
00:35:31any mistreatment.
00:35:33I have much to learn.
00:35:35I would be grateful
00:35:36for your instruction, my lady.
00:35:38Rest assured, Damon.
00:35:39I will see to Julia personally.
00:35:41I won't have her
00:35:42doing me near labor.
00:35:43I shall instruct her
00:35:44in the proper editict myself.
00:35:48Marcus.
00:35:51Something feels wrong.
00:35:53I came here to be a maid.
00:35:55Yet why do they look at me
00:35:57as if I were the empress?
00:36:01Perhaps Lady Liar
00:36:02is simply kind-hearted
00:36:03towards newcomers.
00:36:05Don't overthink it.
00:36:06Just focus on your tasks.
00:36:08Julia.
00:36:09Come with me.
00:36:11I will show you
00:36:12how to achieve the scrolls.
00:36:24You, new girl.
00:36:25Start by scrubbing this floor.
00:36:27If you dare to slack off,
00:36:28you'll regret it.
00:36:28Tasks were assigned in advance.
00:36:30Why are you shivving
00:36:30your duties onto me?
00:36:32We are all kneeling here
00:36:34scrubbing in the filth.
00:36:35Yet a newcomer
00:36:37gets the easy work?
00:36:38It isn't right.
00:36:40Exactly.
00:36:41Why should you receive
00:36:42such favor from Lady Liar?
00:37:02A wooden ring.
00:37:04This is the emperor's own heirloom.
00:37:06Quick, find Lady Liar.
00:37:08Tell her we've caught a thief.
00:37:09I don't care about any emperor.
00:37:11This was a gift from my husband.
00:37:13Give it back.
00:37:14Your husband?
00:37:15What do you dream
00:37:16your husband is Augustus himself?
00:37:18You're a thief!
00:37:20Hold her down.
00:37:21Don't let her escape.
00:37:24Halt.
00:37:25All of you.
00:37:29Marta Senatus,
00:37:30it is far too filthy here.
00:37:32Perhaps you should return?
00:37:33I have taken this disguise
00:37:35to see for myself
00:37:36what kind of person
00:37:37Julia truly is.
00:37:38Remember,
00:37:39she must not know who I am.
00:37:43Silence!
00:37:46I leave for one moment
00:37:48and you descend into chaos.
00:37:56Lady Liar,
00:37:57Julia has stolen
00:37:58the emperor's ring.
00:37:59How can a thief
00:38:00be allowed in the palace?
00:38:01You must have her seized
00:38:03and cast out at once.
00:38:04Lady Liar,
00:38:05please let me explain.
00:38:06It isn't what it seems.
00:38:07The truth is...
00:38:08Enough!
00:38:08Hand over the ring!
00:38:09The ring is mine.
00:38:11I did not steal it.
00:38:12I said,
00:38:13give it to me!
00:38:22It truly is
00:38:23his majesty's ring.
00:38:27This ring really is Marcus's.
00:38:29Marcus.
00:38:30He gave her something
00:38:32so sacred.
00:38:33She is bold enough
00:38:34to steal from the emperor.
00:38:36Who knows what she'll do next?
00:38:38She should be beaten to death.
00:38:40Lady Liar,
00:38:41please listen.
00:38:42This ring was given to me
00:38:43by the person
00:38:44I hold most dear.
00:38:45It was not stolen
00:38:46and it certainly
00:38:47does not belong
00:38:48to the emperor.
00:38:49If it's proven
00:38:49that this ring belongs
00:38:50to Marcus,
00:38:51won't his identity
00:38:52be exposed?
00:38:54I shall keep
00:38:55this ring for now.
00:38:56Once the truth
00:38:57is revealed,
00:38:58it will be returned
00:38:59to you.
00:39:01Thanks.
00:39:02Listen well.
00:39:03This is official Dora.
00:39:05She will manage you
00:39:06alongside me.
00:39:07Keep to your places.
00:39:09If anyone is found
00:39:10ID or deceptive,
00:39:11you shall taste the lash.
00:39:13Yes, ma'am.
00:39:14Drauling in the palace
00:39:15is forbidden.
00:39:16Your punishment
00:39:16is latrine duty.
00:39:18You shall not eat
00:39:18until they are spotless.
00:39:19Yes, my lady.
00:39:30At least this
00:39:31will dull the stench.
00:39:33Your majesty,
00:39:34Lady Leora,
00:39:35your childhood sweetheart
00:39:36is back.
00:39:37Won't you go
00:39:37and see her?
00:39:38Sweetheart,
00:39:39don't use that word
00:39:40for us.
00:39:41I have no heart
00:39:42for her.
00:39:43Leave us.
00:39:43I am going
00:39:44to see Julia.
00:39:45Your presence
00:39:45will expose
00:39:46my identity
00:39:46sooner or later.
00:39:59They have you
00:40:00cleaning this filth?
00:40:02This is a disgrace!
00:40:03I'm going to find
00:40:04whoever did this.
00:40:05I'll make them
00:40:06answer for it
00:40:06right now!
00:40:14It's fine.
00:40:15It's just a task.
00:40:18I can endure it.
00:40:19I won't stand for this.
00:40:21I'll find a way
00:40:21to get you away
00:40:22from this place
00:40:23as soon as possible.
00:40:27Tell me,
00:40:28what is the truth
00:40:29about that ring?
00:40:30Why do they insist
00:40:31it belongs to the Emperor?
00:40:33It was my father.
00:40:34He once killed
00:40:35a great bear
00:40:35with his bare hands.
00:40:37Augustus rewarded
00:40:37his courage
00:40:38by gifting him
00:40:38that ring.
00:40:39Oh,
00:40:40that explains it.
00:40:41They keep shouting
00:40:42about the Emperor
00:40:43and I feared
00:40:43you were keeping
00:40:44secrets from me.
00:40:47You there!
00:40:48Since when is the palace
00:40:49a place for idle gossip?
00:41:02It's official, Dora!
00:41:03Go, quickly!
00:41:05Don't let her see you
00:41:06or we'll be in trouble.
00:41:19Is the latrine finished?
00:41:22It is all finished,
00:41:23my lady.
00:41:24Then move on
00:41:25to the courtyard.
00:41:26I want its fossiless.
00:41:27Not a single leaf
00:41:28must remain.
00:41:29Yes, my lady.
00:41:30Finally, it's done.
00:41:32My back is nearly breaking.
00:41:43What right do you have
00:41:45to throw my things?
00:41:46Newcomers sleep
00:41:47in the stables.
00:41:48That is the palace way.
00:41:50Get moving!
00:41:52Better hurry
00:41:53before the dung piles up
00:41:55and you've nowhere
00:41:56to lie down.
00:41:57It is freezing tonight.
00:41:59How can you expect
00:42:00a person to sleep
00:42:01in the stables?
00:42:08I heard that horse
00:42:10Yenna can keep you warm.
00:42:12We aren't lying.
00:42:14These are the palace rules.
00:42:15You wouldn't dare refuse,
00:42:17would you?
00:42:21Why are you targeting me?
00:42:23What have I done?
00:42:25You're a thief.
00:42:27Official Dora was merciful.
00:42:28You're lucky you're going
00:42:29to the stables
00:42:30and not the dungeon.
00:42:33I am no thief.
00:42:35Stop your malicious lies.
00:42:37Not a thief?
00:42:39Next, you'll say
00:42:40the emperor himself
00:42:41gave it to you.
00:42:43Look at yourself.
00:42:44You're not fit
00:42:45to touch his shadow.
00:42:54I just need my blanket.
00:42:56I cannot survive
00:42:57the night in the stables
00:42:58without it.
00:42:59Ha!
00:42:59Such bold words.
00:43:01This is the palace.
00:43:02Nothing here is yours.
00:43:03Don't think your protectors
00:43:04can save you
00:43:05from our ways.
00:43:06You're not going in.
00:43:07Out of my way!
00:43:22Julia!
00:43:23Are you alright?
00:43:24Are you hurt?
00:43:25Stop!
00:43:26You dare raise a hand
00:43:27within these walls?
00:43:28Have you grown tired
00:43:29of living?
00:43:30Commander Damon?
00:43:32What are you doing here?
00:43:34Wait, then who is he?
00:43:39You have signed
00:43:40your death warrant.
00:43:41Have mercy,
00:43:42your majesty!
00:43:43Please, spare us!
00:43:44It wasn't intentional!
00:43:46We never meant
00:43:47for her to get hurt!
00:43:52You...
00:43:52you are Augustus?
00:43:54You are Augustus?
00:43:57Is it true?
00:43:59Are you truly
00:44:01the emperor?
00:44:12Don't reveal
00:44:13your real identity.
00:44:19Forgive me, my lady.
00:44:21I was just passing by
00:44:22when I saw this girl
00:44:23being mistreated.
00:44:24I acted without thinking
00:44:25to help her.
00:44:26I meant no disrespect.
00:44:27Thank the guards.
00:44:28He's just a guard.
00:44:30He nearly scared me to death.
00:44:31But Damon,
00:44:32you never leave
00:44:32the emperor's side.
00:44:33Why are you
00:44:34with this common guard?
00:44:39Damon.
00:44:41What is going on here?
00:44:42Who is this man?
00:44:49Oh, oh, right.
00:44:50This young guard here
00:44:51happens to look
00:44:52a bit like his majesty.
00:44:53I came to the palace
00:44:54specifically to question
00:44:55his background,
00:44:56fearing someone might
00:44:56impersonate the emperor
00:44:57and cause trouble.
00:44:58You.
00:44:59You're a new guard.
00:45:00How can you be so
00:45:01ignorant of the rules?
00:45:02Don't you know the palace
00:45:03isn't a place to wander
00:45:04in and out of?
00:45:05Apologize at once.
00:45:11I wouldn't dare
00:45:12do it again.
00:45:14It is all my fault.
00:45:15This guard was only
00:45:17worried about me,
00:45:17which is why he rushed
00:45:18in so recklessly.
00:45:20If you know you are wrong,
00:45:21then leave at once.
00:45:22Get out of my sight.
00:45:38After such a serious incident,
00:45:39official Dora
00:45:40didn't punish her at all?
00:45:41Talk about favoritism.
00:45:42And that business
00:45:43with the emperor's ring.
00:45:44It was completely
00:45:45hushed up, too.
00:45:46I have no idea
00:45:47who is backing her,
00:45:47but they must be
00:45:48incredibly powerful.
00:45:51Tell me,
00:45:52if the real Augustus
00:45:53found out someone
00:45:53stole his ring
00:45:54and dared to impersonate him,
00:45:55what would he do?
00:45:56Would he order
00:45:57an immediate execution?
00:45:59Julia is a good girl?
00:46:26Julia is a good girl.
00:46:28a divinely chosen empress.
00:46:29It will show those nobles
00:46:30that her abilities
00:46:31far surpassed those
00:46:32of their pampered daughters.
00:46:33Very well.
00:46:34Give this ring back to her.
00:46:36Consider it my promise.
00:46:42Julia!
00:46:43Great news!
00:46:44Martyr Senius has decided
00:46:46to put you in charge
00:46:47of next month's
00:46:47Lupilaris sacrifices.
00:46:49But I don't know
00:46:49the first thing about it.
00:46:51Lupilaris is so important,
00:46:52I'm afraid I'll fail.
00:46:53Don't worry,
00:46:54I have full confidence in you.
00:46:56You are more than capable.
00:46:58Besides,
00:46:59I'll be helping you
00:47:00from the shadows.
00:47:02You won't have to do it alone.
00:47:07Oh, and these are palace pastries.
00:47:09I saved them specifically for you.
00:47:17It's delicious!
00:47:18I've never tasted
00:47:19anything so wonderful.
00:47:20If you like them,
00:47:22I'll bring them to you often.
00:47:23Often.
00:47:23That might not be wise.
00:47:25I heard there are guards
00:47:26patrolling nearby constantly.
00:47:27We shouldn't meet so openly.
00:47:29What if someone sees us?
00:47:30Trust me, they won't.
00:47:32Julia, once the
00:47:32Lupagalia festival is over,
00:47:34wait for me in this courtyard.
00:47:35I have something
00:47:36very important to tell you.
00:47:39Okay.
00:47:45It has been three full days,
00:47:47and yet not a single
00:47:48summons from His Majesty.
00:47:51Has he completely lost
00:47:53all regard for me?
00:47:55I heard His Majesty
00:47:57has been frequently visiting
00:47:58the servants' quarters
00:47:59to see a girl in sequ...
00:48:00What?
00:48:01I am his childhood sweetheart,
00:48:03the future Empress of Rome.
00:48:05Which slit dares to be so bold
00:48:07as to seduce the Emperor
00:48:08right under my nose?
00:48:16My hand!
00:48:18You dare burn me!
00:48:21Forgive me, Lady Leora.
00:48:23It wasn't on purpose.
00:48:24I was just so nervous.
00:48:26Please, have mercy!
00:48:27Lady Leora is the Treasurer's daughter,
00:48:29a High Noble of the Senate
00:48:30and our future Empress.
00:48:32Eva has truly offended someone
00:48:34she can't afford to cross.
00:48:35Lupigaria is almost here.
00:48:38With my hand like this,
00:48:39how can I stand beside
00:48:40the Emperor for the ritual?
00:48:42How can I be worthy
00:48:43of being Empress?
00:48:45Guards!
00:48:45Take this wretch to the Coliseum
00:48:47and feed her to the beasts!
00:48:49Mercy!
00:48:50Lady Leora, please spare me!
00:48:51I'll never do it again!
00:48:53I can heal that burn for you.
00:49:02You?
00:49:03Who are you?
00:49:04My name is Julia.
00:49:05My father is a spice merchant,
00:49:06so I have been familiar
00:49:08with herbs since childhood.
00:49:09I know of a plant
00:49:11that can soothe burns.
00:49:12It is very effective.
00:49:14A merchant's daughter?
00:49:16My lady, why not try it?
00:49:17You have nothing to lose.
00:49:19If she fails to heal you,
00:49:20it won't be too late
00:49:20to punish her then.
00:49:29I have one request.
00:49:31I knew it!
00:49:33Fine, how many gold coins
00:49:34do you want?
00:49:35I want no gold.
00:49:36I only ask that
00:49:38if I heal your hand,
00:49:39you spare Eva.
00:49:41Playing the Morton, are we?
00:49:43Fine, Julia, I agree.
00:49:44But mark my words.
00:49:46If you fail,
00:49:47your lives are forfeit.
00:49:48Both of them.
00:49:52Huh.
00:49:53Truly doesn't hurt as much.
00:49:55And the swelling has gone down.
00:49:58Apply this juice to the wound
00:49:59every day for a few days.
00:50:01The burn will heal quickly
00:50:02without leaving a scar.
00:50:05I used to bully you constantly,
00:50:07yet today you saved my life.
00:50:10I am so sorry, Julia.
00:50:12Please, forgive me.
00:50:14The past is in the past.
00:50:17Let's not speak of it again.
00:50:19From now on,
00:50:21we shall be like sisters
00:50:22and look out for one each other.
00:50:27I don't.
00:50:30What?
00:50:31Julia is that lowly servant
00:50:33who's been seducing his majesty?
00:50:40My lady, please do not be angry.
00:50:42If his majesty truly loved her,
00:50:44why would he leave her as a mere maid?
00:50:45She is no threat to your position.
00:50:47True.
00:50:48His majesty is likely just bored
00:50:50and finds her a novelty.
00:50:52Perhaps I judged her too harshly.
00:50:54My lady,
00:50:55that Julia
00:50:56is nothing but a slut
00:50:58who seduces every man she sees.
00:51:01She is pure evil.
00:51:05I am a maid in the domestic office with Julia
00:51:07and I know her better than anyone.
00:51:09Not only is she lazy,
00:51:10but she constantly flirts with the guards.
00:51:12Worse, she is a thief.
00:51:13She stole the emperor's own ring.
00:51:17The emperor's ring?
00:51:18You mean the wooden one?
00:51:20The one he's worn since childhood?
00:51:22The one meant for the future empress?
00:51:24Such an audacious wretch!
00:51:25Her intentions are treasonous!
00:51:27I will never let her get away with this!
00:51:29My lady,
00:51:30I heard that slut
00:51:31is in charge of organizing
00:51:32the Luperia sacrifices.
00:51:34I have a plan.
00:51:36Do you want to have her a minor, Charlie?
00:51:39Good.
00:51:40We'll do it.
00:51:42Julia,
00:51:44Lupergarious will be the day you die!
00:52:00Be careful.
00:52:01Whatever you do,
00:52:02don't drop it.
00:52:04Julia,
00:52:04you've done a magnificent job!
00:52:05The nobles are all praising
00:52:06how well the sacrifice was organized.
00:52:08Even Matarsenius looked pleased
00:52:09and couldn't stop complimenting you.
00:52:11That is a relief.
00:52:12I'm glad I didn't fail the trust
00:52:14Matarsenius placed in me.
00:52:15I heard your little guard
00:52:17is waiting for you
00:52:17in the backyard.
00:52:18He says he has something
00:52:19important to tell you.
00:52:21Go on.
00:52:22Assassin!
00:52:23Catch the Lupercali assassin!
00:52:26Block all exits.
00:52:26No one is allowed to leave.
00:52:28What?
00:52:28What's happening?
00:52:30How could there be
00:52:30an assassin at the sacrifice?
00:52:32An assassin disguised as a guard
00:52:34just tried to stab Lady Leora,
00:52:36the treasurer's daughter.
00:52:38Lady Leora is the daughter
00:52:39of the treasurer
00:52:40and the companion
00:52:41of His Majesty's youth.
00:52:42She is our desestant empress.
00:52:45This is an act of high treason
00:52:47that must be investigated
00:52:48to the fullest extent.
00:52:49What are you doing?
00:52:52I am innocent!
00:52:54I truly did nothing wrong!
00:52:56I didn't conspire
00:52:57with any assassin!
00:52:59You cannot do this to me!
00:53:03Lady Leora,
00:53:05Julia has been brought before you.
00:53:11Lady Leora,
00:53:12I truly know nothing of this.
00:53:14You were the one in charge
00:53:15of organizing the sacrifice.
00:53:17An assassin slipped in
00:53:18under your watch.
00:53:19Do you really dare to say
00:53:20you knew nothing?
00:53:24How dare you arrange
00:53:26an assassination
00:53:26at the Luperalia festival?
00:53:28What is your motive?
00:53:29Have you been jealous
00:53:30of my position
00:53:31as future empress
00:53:32and decided to get rid of me?
00:53:33I...
00:53:34I truly didn't.
00:53:35Lady Leora,
00:53:36I was responsible
00:53:37for the event,
00:53:37but I swear I know
00:53:38nothing about an assassin.
00:53:40You refuse to confess?
00:53:42Don't be a fool, Julia.
00:53:44The whip will wring
00:53:45the truth out of you
00:53:46soon enough.
00:53:47Weren't you given
00:53:47full responsibility
00:53:48for the Lupastia sacrifice?
00:53:51An assassin infiltrated
00:53:52a heavily guarded site
00:53:54and you claim ignorance?
00:53:55That is gross negligence.
00:53:57And negligence
00:53:58is a capital offense.
00:54:00Indeed.
00:54:00The palace is guarded
00:54:02day and night.
00:54:03No ordinary person
00:54:04could simply walk in
00:54:06unless Julia conspired
00:54:07with the assassin
00:54:08and let him in.
00:54:09There is no other explanation.
00:54:11I truly know nothing
00:54:13of the assassin.
00:54:14Please, Lady Leora,
00:54:15give me some time.
00:54:16I will find the truth
00:54:16and prove my innocence.
00:54:18Give you time?
00:54:19You merely seek to crawl
00:54:21to His Majesty
00:54:21and hide behind his favor.
00:54:23Do not think
00:54:23your transparent schemes
00:54:24escape my notice.
00:54:26His Majesty?
00:54:28Still acting?
00:54:29You think I don't know?
00:54:30You are the slut
00:54:31who has been seducing
00:54:32the Emperor
00:54:32with a face like that.
00:54:33No wonder
00:54:34you're so restless.
00:54:35Even if His Majesty
00:54:36chose a commoner,
00:54:37it wouldn't be
00:54:38a lowly rat like you!
00:54:42I have never
00:54:42seduced the Emperor.
00:54:44I've never even
00:54:45seen his face.
00:54:46How could I seduce him?
00:54:47Have you forgotten
00:54:48that I healed your burn
00:54:49just two days ago?
00:54:50How can you repay
00:54:51my mindness
00:54:52with such outrageous
00:54:53accusations?
00:54:54You dare question me?
00:54:56You arrogant wretch!
00:54:57God, seize this
00:54:58unrepentant slut!
00:55:00Look closely, Julia!
00:55:02You are standing
00:55:03before the daughter
00:55:03of the Treasurer,
00:55:04the woman chosen
00:55:05by Martyr Senius
00:55:06to be Emperor.
00:55:07To talk back now
00:55:08is pure suicide!
00:55:09If you are
00:55:10the Treasurer's daughter
00:55:11and the future Empress,
00:55:12you should be
00:55:12reasonable and just.
00:55:14I have never even
00:55:15seen the Emperor.
00:55:16How could I seduce him?
00:55:18Besides,
00:55:18I am already married.
00:55:19I would never
00:55:20seek another.
00:55:24You are married?
00:55:25Who is your husband?
00:55:27His...
00:55:28His Majesty?
00:55:35My Lady,
00:55:36don't let her fool you!
00:55:37This ring was stolen
00:55:38by her husband.
00:55:39Her husband is just
00:55:40a minor guard
00:55:41in the palace.
00:55:42I saw it myself.
00:55:43They steal at night
00:55:44and flirt openly
00:55:45during the day.
00:55:46It is an absolute outrage!
00:55:48My husband is indeed
00:55:49a guard,
00:55:50but we have never been
00:55:51inappropriate in public,
00:55:53and we are certainly
00:55:54not thieves.
00:55:54As if anyone
00:55:55would believe you!
00:55:56Lady Leora,
00:55:57I bet the assassin
00:55:58who attacked you
00:55:58was none other
00:55:59than her guard husband!
00:56:00This rash on my face
00:56:01has lasted for days.
00:56:03The court physicians
00:56:04have prescribed
00:56:05so many ointments,
00:56:06but none of them
00:56:06seem to work.
00:56:08Matasinatus,
00:56:08I heard that Julia
00:56:09healed Lady Leora's burn
00:56:11with just a handful
00:56:12of herbs last month.
00:56:13Perhaps we should
00:56:14let Julia examine you.
00:56:15I didn't realize
00:56:16Julia was so skilled.
00:56:18Go and summon her.
00:56:19Once this rash is gone,
00:56:21it will be time
00:56:21for His Majesty
00:56:22to name her Empress.
00:56:24Mater Senaris!
00:56:26Terrible news!
00:56:27Lady Leora
00:56:28has arrested Julia
00:56:28and is about
00:56:29to have her tortured.
00:56:31This is madness.
00:56:33Quick, come with me.
00:56:35You refuse
00:56:36to find the truth,
00:56:37choosing instead
00:56:38to frame the innocent
00:56:39and abuse your power.
00:56:41It is your actions
00:56:42that offend the gods,
00:56:43and you will surely
00:56:45be punished.
00:56:46Guards!
00:56:47Fetch the whip!
00:56:48I will have a confession
00:56:49from her today!
00:56:50Palace law dictates
00:56:51that no noble
00:56:52has the right
00:56:52to use private torture
00:56:54except for Mater Senis
00:56:55and the Emperor!
00:56:58My lady,
00:56:59I shall go to Mater Senis now
00:57:01and get an order
00:57:02to have both her
00:57:03and her guard husband
00:57:04arrested and executed
00:57:05as a warning to others.
00:57:10And who exactly
00:57:11is it you want me
00:57:12to execute?
00:57:18Release her!
00:57:23You show no respect
00:57:25for palace law
00:57:26and use illegal torture.
00:57:28Who gave you permission
00:57:29to cause such chaos
00:57:30during the Lupefaria sacrifice?
00:57:32I am the Emperor's
00:57:33chosen companion,
00:57:34the future Empress of Rome.
00:57:36To discipline a lowly servant
00:57:37is my prerogative.
00:57:38I will soon rule these halls.
00:57:40Who are you to stand
00:57:42in my path
00:57:42and preach to me?
00:57:44Insolence.
00:57:44Do you truly have no idea
00:57:46to whom you are speaking?
00:57:47You're just some lowborn
00:57:48old official.
00:57:49If I don't teach you a lesson
00:57:50you'll never learn your place.
00:57:51Guards!
00:57:52Seize her as well!
00:57:53I never imagined
00:57:54you would be so venerful
00:57:55and disrespectful of rank.
00:57:56I was blind
00:57:57to let someone like you
00:57:58near his majesty!
00:58:00Ha!
00:58:00You think your mate
00:58:01is Seninus?
00:58:02You're just an old woman
00:58:03too ashamed
00:58:04to show her face.
00:58:05You must have a death wish.
00:58:08Let's see who dares.
00:58:12Guards!
00:58:13Bring me my whip!
00:58:14I'm going to teach
00:58:15this arrogant old crone
00:58:16a lesson she'll never forget.
00:58:18Lady Leora,
00:58:18you cannot.
00:58:19Palace law forbids
00:58:20the private whipping
00:58:21of court officials.
00:58:22If his majesty
00:58:23or Martyr Senaris
00:58:23finds out
00:58:24they will be furious.
00:58:25Please, have mercy.
00:58:26Get away from me,
00:58:27you slut!
00:58:44Why isn't Julia
00:58:45here yet?
00:58:46The sacrifice
00:58:47ended quite a while ago.
00:58:50Could something
00:58:51have happened?
00:58:52Your majesty,
00:58:52it is a disaster.
00:58:54Lady Leora
00:58:54has arrested Julia
00:58:55and is attempting
00:58:55to torture your mother
00:58:56Matasenius.
00:58:59Damn it!
00:59:00Leora is cruel
00:59:01and arrogant.
00:59:01Something has gone wrong.
00:59:13Leora,
00:59:15you dare commit
00:59:15such violence
00:59:16and harm
00:59:17Palace staff
00:59:17at a sacred site?
00:59:19Have you no fear
00:59:20of the gods' wrath?
00:59:23Lady Leora,
00:59:24it was I
00:59:24who offended you.
00:59:25It is all my fault.
00:59:26Please,
00:59:27do not involve
00:59:28official Dora.
00:59:30You certainly
00:59:31love playing
00:59:32the martyr.
00:59:33Since you are so eager
00:59:34to take this old
00:59:34crone's punishment,
00:59:35I will grant your wish.
00:59:36I'll make sure
00:59:37you learn the price
00:59:37of disobedience
00:59:38so you never meddle again.
00:59:39Enough, Leora.
00:59:40In the name of
00:59:41Matasenius,
00:59:41I warn you
00:59:42for the last time,
00:59:43do not push this too far.
00:59:44The emperor
00:59:45will never forgive you
00:59:46for this.
00:59:46You're just a lowly
00:59:47old servant
00:59:48too afraid to show
00:59:48your face,
00:59:49yet you dare claim
00:59:50to be Matasenius.
00:59:51Today,
00:59:52I shall punish you
00:59:52on behalf of the emperor.
00:59:53The assassin
00:59:55has been apprehended.
00:59:56He waits your judgment
00:59:57at the threshold.
00:59:57Bring him in at once.
00:59:59Let everyone see
01:00:01the ironclap proof
01:00:02that this slut
01:00:03conspired with an assassin.
01:00:12Julia conspired
01:00:13with this guard
01:00:14to breach palace security
01:00:15and arrange
01:00:16an assassination
01:00:16against me.
01:00:18Guards,
01:00:18execute them both
01:00:20immediately
01:00:20as an example.
01:00:26I would like
01:00:27to see who dares.
01:00:29Your majesty,
01:00:31how could it be you?
01:00:39his majesty,
01:00:40Augustus,
01:00:41Matasenorius.
01:00:49How is this possible?
01:00:51How could she be
01:00:52Matasenorius?
01:00:53Leora,
01:00:54I believe that
01:00:55as a daughter of nobility
01:00:56you would be wise
01:00:57and kind.
01:00:59I never expected
01:01:00such heartless cruelty.
01:01:01You insult your superiors
01:01:03and refuse the law.
01:01:05You dream of being
01:01:06empress?
01:01:07Never.
01:01:11No,
01:01:12please.
01:01:14Matasenorius,
01:01:15I know I was wrong.
01:01:16Please,
01:01:17forgive me.
01:01:19Your majesty,
01:01:20we grew up together.
01:01:21Please,
01:01:21please,
01:01:22do not abandon me.
01:01:24You attempted
01:01:25to use illegal torching
01:01:26without even knowing
01:01:27the truth.
01:01:28If I hadn't arrived
01:01:29in time,
01:01:29you would have committed
01:01:30a terrible crime.
01:01:32This is your own doing.
01:01:33Your majesty,
01:01:34I didn't mean it.
01:01:35It was all Kaya.
01:01:38It was Kaya
01:01:39who gave me
01:01:40these ideas.
01:01:42Kaya,
01:01:43for spreading malicious
01:01:43rumors and violating
01:01:45palace law,
01:01:45you are sent to the
01:01:46Coliseum as a slave.
01:01:48Matasenorius,
01:01:49I was wrong.
01:01:50Please,
01:01:51spare me this one.
01:01:54Your majesty,
01:01:55I may have been wrong,
01:01:57but Julia was the organizer
01:01:58of the Lupagania sacrifice.
01:02:00She must be held responsible
01:02:01for the assassination attempt.
01:02:04If your majesty
01:02:05hadn't been here today,
01:02:07Lady Liorta
01:02:08would have been
01:02:08in terrible danger.
01:02:10Your majesty,
01:02:11my life is of no consequence,
01:02:13but the safety of the palace
01:02:14is paramount.
01:02:15Julia must be punished.
01:02:17If assassins can enter
01:02:19the palace like this,
01:02:20who will protect us
01:02:21in the future?
01:02:21I beg you,
01:02:23punish Julia.
01:02:30If there is evidence
01:02:32that Julia is innocent,
01:02:34what should be the fate
01:02:35of those who framed her?
01:02:36Liora,
01:02:37I am asking you,
01:02:38if Julia is proven innocent,
01:02:39what should be your punishment?
01:02:41I am willing to be
01:02:42demoted to a slave
01:02:43and never set foot
01:02:43in the palace again.
01:02:45Fine.
01:02:46It is settled.
01:02:47Guards,
01:02:47bring him in.
01:02:54Your majesty's foresight
01:02:56was undearing.
01:02:57As commanded,
01:02:58I stationed sentries
01:02:59at every exit.
01:03:00We captured the assassin
01:03:01as he fled
01:03:02and have secured
01:03:03his confession.
01:03:04Mercy,
01:03:04your majesty,
01:03:05it was Lady Liora's father,
01:03:07the treasurer,
01:03:08who forced me.
01:03:09He made me disguise myself
01:03:10as a guard
01:03:11and attack Lady Liora
01:03:12to frame Julia.
01:03:13He wanted to get rid of Julia
01:03:15so Liora could become empress.
01:03:16I had no choice.
01:03:18Please spare me.
01:03:22It's over.
01:03:23Everything is ruined.
01:03:27Do you know
01:03:28why I believe in Julia?
01:03:29Because she is my wife,
01:03:31the true empress
01:03:32of the Roman Empire.
01:03:38Cast Liora out of the palace.
01:03:40She is barred
01:03:40from entering forever.
01:03:42Furthermore,
01:03:43arrest the treasurer
01:03:44and throw him into the dungeon
01:03:45to await his sentence.
01:03:48No!
01:03:52I hate you!
01:03:53If it weren't for you,
01:03:54all of this would be mine.
01:03:55The throne would be mine
01:03:56and the emperor would be mine.
01:03:57You ruined everything!
01:03:58You are wrong.
01:03:59The person who brought you
01:04:00to this end was never me.
01:04:01It was you.
01:04:03Your own greed,
01:04:04jealousy and cruelty
01:04:05led you here.
01:04:05You have only yourself to blame.
01:04:11I am sorry
01:04:12for all the suffering
01:04:13you've endured.
01:04:14It doesn't matter now,
01:04:16your majesty.
01:04:16Do not call me
01:04:17your majesty.
01:04:18Call me Marcus.
01:04:19Only you may call me that.
01:04:21Marcus,
01:04:22now that the guilty
01:04:23have been punished,
01:04:24all misunderstandings
01:04:25are resolved.
01:04:30From this day forth,
01:04:31I declare before the gods,
01:04:33Julia is the eternal
01:04:34and only empress
01:04:35of the Roman Empire.
01:04:37Passover is the hope.
01:04:47The98
01:04:49Robert
01:04:58He is the
