00:00:10Haley, it's me.

00:00:14What do you want now, I told you.

00:00:15Get me a proper house and betrothal gifts.

00:00:18Until then, I'll never tell anyone you're my husband.

00:00:21Haley, please.

00:00:23Lend me some gold coins.

00:00:24My mother's ill.

00:00:25I need money for her treatment.

00:00:26If I can't pay, she'll die.

00:00:28You've been puddling for years.

00:00:30Where did all your savings go?

00:00:32Haley, I spent every penny I had to marry you.

00:00:37Three years of puddling, every copper coin went to you.

00:00:39I've got nothing left.

00:00:41You gave it willingly.

00:00:43What's mine is mine now.

00:00:45Why should I give it back?

00:00:47I'm not asking for it back.

00:00:49I'm borrowing.

00:00:50I've given you dozens of gold coins over three years.

00:00:55Call it a loan.

00:00:56I'll work double and pay you back.

00:00:59You?

00:01:00Earning pennies hawking on street corners?

00:01:04Are you really going to stand by and watch my mother die?

00:01:09She's your mother, not mine.

00:01:13Mom, dad died young.

00:01:16You raised me all on your own.

00:01:18I don't care what it takes.

00:01:20I'll get the money to cure you.

00:01:24Haley, I'm begging you.

00:01:26Save my mother.

00:01:27I'll give you every coin I earn from now on.

00:01:29Will you quit nagging?

00:01:31I have afternoon tea with Lady Amy soon.

00:01:34Figure it out yourself.

00:01:39You worthless trash.

00:01:42You dirtied my skirt.

00:01:49Right Lord Mack's order isn't delivered yet.

00:01:53I have to hurry.

00:01:55Deliveries.

00:01:57Mom, I swear I'll save you.

00:02:27Damn, that hurts.

00:02:28Am I dying?

00:02:36Are you alright?

00:02:37How bad is it?

00:02:39Let me take you to a doctor.

00:02:41What is that?

00:02:43Am I hallucinating from the fort?

00:02:51So big.

00:02:52So soft.

00:02:54How dare you!

00:02:55I'll cover your medical fee.

00:02:56It was my fault.

00:02:58But one more word like that, and I'm calling the city guards.

00:03:02You'll answer for it.

00:03:04My goods.

00:03:04I'm sorry.

00:03:05I'm sorry.

00:03:06I have to deliver these to Master Mack.

00:03:09I'm fine, Miss.

00:03:10Don't worry about me.

00:03:14He's different from all those bootluckers.

00:03:18I wonder what his name is.

00:03:36Master Mack, your custom order is here.

00:03:41Mack, get back here.

00:03:42Who is it?

00:03:45I barely snuck out tonight, so hurry back.

00:03:47You don't have all night.

00:03:49Voice.

00:03:50Why does it sound so familiar?

00:03:52Wait.

00:03:53Hayley.

00:03:53What's she doing here?

00:03:55Hayley?

00:03:57It's...

00:03:58It's you?

00:03:59Jason, what...

00:04:00What are you doing here?

00:04:16Hayley, this is your useless husband.

00:04:18Smells like poverty.

00:04:20Low-born trash.

00:04:22Hayley, three years.

00:04:24I gave you my heart.

00:04:25Never wronged you once.

00:04:27Why would you do this to me?

00:04:28Why?

00:04:29Enough.

00:04:29Look at what you are.

00:04:30A street peddler.

00:04:32Master Mack is noble-born leagues above the likes of you.

00:04:35What could you possibly offer?

00:04:38So that's how it is.

00:04:39No wonder you humiliate me.

00:04:41You climbed to nobility.

00:04:42Now your own husband's beneath you.

00:04:47Boy.

00:04:47Your wife.

00:04:49Incredible in bed.

00:04:51Shut your mouth!

00:04:52Get lost!

00:04:52You're the one who should leave.

00:04:54Stop making a scene.

00:04:58Don't you dare.

00:04:59Your mother's dying.

00:05:00Only you can bring medicines to keep her alive.

00:05:02Hurt him here and you'll rot in a cell.

00:05:04She died.

00:05:08Hayley, mark my words.

00:05:10I'll remember today.

00:05:11And I swear,

00:05:13you'll pay a hundred times over.

00:05:22Back at the manor golden numbers appeared over Hayley and Mack again.

00:05:27That wasn't my imagination.

00:05:31What the hell are they?

00:05:35What do these numbers mean?

00:05:40Why are that rat's numbers crimson?

00:05:54Why are that rat's numbers crimson?

00:05:57I can change my fate.

00:05:59First things first.

00:06:00Earn enough gold coins to save my mother.

00:06:02This power is my one shot at turning everything around.

00:06:12The biggest market in the city.

00:06:15Cheap goods marked up sky high.

00:06:17If I can score a hidden gem with this eye,

00:06:20I could get rich overnight and fix everything.

00:06:30This thing's actually an ancient relic.

00:06:33Sharp eye, young man.

00:06:35Got this kettle on a voyage years ago.

00:06:39They say it belonged to the old royal court.

00:06:42A genuine treasure.

00:06:44I can see its value now.

00:06:47Living thingies show lifespan.

00:06:49Objects show their age.

00:06:50And their true worth.

00:06:52Tell you what.

00:06:53Since you like it,

00:06:54special price.

00:06:56A hundred gold coins and it's yours.

00:07:00A hundred?

00:07:03Wait, wait.

00:07:04Everything's negotiable.

00:07:06Name your price.

00:07:10One gold coin.

00:07:11Deal, sucker.

00:07:13I picked that junk off the street.

00:07:15Couldn't sell it for three copper coins.

00:07:17And he hands me a gold coin.

00:07:19Easiest money ever.

00:07:26Look all you want, but don't touch.

00:07:27Any piece here costs more than you'd earn in years.

00:07:30Boss, I've got something old to sell.

00:07:33Interested?

00:07:36You?

00:07:37Looking like that?

00:07:38What could you possibly have that's worth anything?

00:07:42Just a rusty old kettle.

00:07:44We don't want it.

00:07:47Hold on.

00:07:52Old dynasty lobility.

00:07:54Pristine condition.

00:07:55Rich provenage.

00:07:56A rare treasure.

00:07:57This kid looks clueless.

00:07:59I'll buy low and sell high.

00:08:01Kid, this thing's pretty worn.

00:08:03Rough craftsmanship.

00:08:04Nothing special.

00:08:05Tell you what.

00:08:06Fifty gold coins.

00:08:07I'm doing you a favor taking it.

00:08:12You think I'm a fool?

00:08:14Don't get greedy, kid.

00:08:16Fifty gold coins is way above market price.

00:08:19Be grateful.

00:08:20Oh yeah?

00:08:21First, this ring is 500 years old.

00:08:24Second, the craftsmanship is noble exclusive.

00:08:27Only Aristocats wore these.

00:08:29Third, true value, a thousand gold coins.

00:08:32Not a cop or less.

00:08:34He actually knows his stuff.

00:08:36I misjudged him.

00:08:39Wait!

00:08:40I didn't know who I was dealing with.

00:08:42A thousand gold coins.

00:08:44I'll pay right now.

00:08:53This money can save mom.

00:08:55Hayley, Mac, you just wait.

00:08:58You humiliated me today.

00:08:59I'll make you regret every second of it.

00:09:03Sir, does your shop carry any rare jewels from the southern seas?

00:09:08It's you.

00:09:10I'm Grace.

00:09:11My horse hurt you earlier.

00:09:13I was about to send someone to find you and cover your loss.

00:09:15Are you alright?

00:09:17I'm fine.

00:09:18Thick skin.

00:09:19Already healed.

00:09:21I should thank her for that hit.

00:09:22Without, I'd never have awakened this power.

00:09:27Barely half a day with this power.

00:09:29Her lifespan reads, one day.

00:09:31She dies today.

00:09:33Miss, you seem kind, so I'll warn you.

00:09:36Something's wrong today.

00:09:37Your life's in danger.

00:09:39In ten minutes, you'll die.

00:09:43How dare you?

00:09:45First you groped me in public, now you're cursing me to die?

00:09:47Because I hurt you, you can say whatever you want.

00:09:51You're nothing but a con man.

00:09:53What's next?

00:09:54Offering to protect my lady?

00:09:56We've seen this trick a thousand times.

00:09:59Believe me.

00:10:00Or don't.

00:10:02Your call.

00:10:12What are you standing there for?

00:10:13Throw her out!

00:10:14Sir, she's too weak.

00:10:15Moving her now could kill her.

00:10:17She's taking up her bed and wasting my herbs.

00:10:19Complete waste of my time.

00:10:20Her son went out to raise money.

00:10:22He should be back soon.

00:10:24A peddler hawking junk on the street all day.

00:10:26What could he possibly raise?

00:10:28Move her out!

00:10:29Now, Master Mac is coming to rest today.

00:10:31We can't afford to cross him.

00:10:38What are you doing to her?

00:10:39Good.

00:10:39You're here.

00:10:40Take your mother and leave.

00:10:41My mother is dying.

00:10:42Instead of saving her, you're throwing her out.

00:10:44That's murder.

00:10:45No money for the medical fee.

00:10:46Then what's she doing here?

00:10:47This isn't a charity.

00:10:48Doctor!

00:10:49Why are there still people here?

00:10:50I booked the whole place.

00:10:53Exactly.

00:10:54If Master Max's rest is disturbed,

00:10:56can your little clinic handle the consequences?

00:10:58Why haven't you thrown them out yet?

00:11:00He refuses to leave.

00:11:01Well, well.

00:11:02Small world.

00:11:02That's your mother lying there sick.

00:11:04Get these two pests out of my sight.

00:11:06I'll donate a hundred gold combs to your clinic.

00:11:08Right now.

00:11:09You heard him.

00:11:10This isn't a charity.

00:11:11Pay up now or take her and get out.

00:11:14He can't even scrape together ten gold goins.

00:11:16Where would he get a hundred?

00:11:17Jason, kneel and slap yourself.

00:11:19I'll toss you one coin.

00:11:21Deal?

00:11:21No money and you dare seek treatment.

00:11:23Apprentice, throw him out.

00:11:28Who says I can't pay?

00:11:30Open your damn eyes and look.

00:11:32Is this enough?

00:11:33For the medicine and the fee?

00:11:42Even if you can pay today,

00:11:44the ongoing treatment is costly.

00:11:46Who says you can afford it day after day?

00:11:54Here you are, miss.

00:11:56Thank you for your patronage.

00:11:58The sorceress foretold a fatal tribulation at 23.

00:12:02Could it really be today?

00:12:04My lady, you're not actually taking that convoy seriously, are you?

00:12:08I feel this strange unease.

00:12:11Let's sit here a while before heading back.

00:12:17See, my lady?

00:12:18Safe and sound.

00:12:20So much for that fraud's lies.

00:12:22Let's head back.

00:12:23We need to prepare for the city lord's birthday banquet.

00:12:26I must have lost my mind, believing his nonsense.

00:12:37He was right.

00:12:40If I'd mounted that horse,

00:12:41it would have gone mad mid-ride.

00:12:43I'd be dead.

00:12:46He saved my life!

00:12:48Miss, wait.

00:12:50You left something behind.

00:12:52That's not mine.

00:12:54Must be that peddler's from earlier.

00:12:59This, it's a prescription.

00:13:01From the city apathetry.

00:13:03Send someone there at once.

00:13:06I want to know

00:13:07everything about him.

00:13:13Even if you can pay now,

00:13:15the ongoing treatment costs a fortune.

00:13:18Who's going to guarantee you can keep paying?

00:13:20I'll vouch for him.

00:13:26Her again.

00:13:27And who are you

00:13:28to vouch for him?

00:13:31Miss Grace,

00:13:32I had no idea you were here.

00:13:35Forgive me, my lady.

00:13:36You're the physician here.

00:13:38Yes, my lady.

00:13:39I've been practicing for over ten years.

00:13:41Shut up.

00:13:42As of today, you're dismissed.

00:13:44You too.

00:13:45You're fired.

00:13:48Please, wait.

00:13:50I was wrong.

00:13:52Please forgive me, my lady.

00:13:54Please, Miss Grace.

00:13:55I didn't mean any harm.

00:14:03Bring the best physician in the city.

00:14:06Use every rare herb available.

00:14:08She must live.

00:14:09Whoever saves her takes over this clinic.

00:14:13Who do you think you are, firing people?

00:14:15Drop the act!

00:14:16So you're Hayley,

00:14:17Jason's wife.

00:14:18Blind fool.

00:14:20You tossed him aside to chase an appellate.

00:14:22What are you to Jason?

00:14:23You have no right to lecture me!

00:14:24Stop!

00:14:25She's the city lord's granddaughter,

00:14:27Miss Grace.

00:14:28Even my family wouldn't dare cross her.

00:14:30That's right.

00:14:32I'm Grace.

00:14:34Lord William's grand daughter by blood.

00:14:38And...

00:14:40I'm also Jason's fiancée.

00:14:51No way!

00:14:52The city lord's granddaughter

00:14:53falling for some lowly peddler.

00:14:57That's why you're our blind.

00:14:59A man like him was right in front of you.

00:15:02And you threw him away.

00:15:04He's just a peddler, dirt poor.

00:15:06What do you even see in him?

00:15:08Wait.

00:15:09Is he just a novelty to you?

00:15:11I don't need a reason.

00:15:13He's my destined husband.

00:15:16He's where I belong.

00:15:21Miss Grace bears a noble destiny.

00:15:23But at 23,

00:15:25a fatal tribulation will threaten her life.

00:15:27If she survives,

00:15:29wealth and peace will follow

00:15:30for the rest of her days.

00:15:33Is there a way to break it?

00:15:35This tribulation is fate itself.

00:15:38There's no way to break it.

00:15:41Unless her destined soulmate appears.

00:15:44Only he can save her.

00:15:48So my fatal tribulation at 23,

00:15:51it was today.

00:15:52You saved me from it.

00:15:54Destined soulmate.

00:15:55He's just a freeloader

00:15:56clinging to power.

00:15:58Pathetic.

00:15:59What did you just say?

00:16:02You hit me.

00:16:04Even my father's never hit me.

00:16:06Is that so?

00:16:07Then today I'll do what your father never did.

00:16:09Teach this wretch to her place.

00:16:14One more word

00:16:15and I'll have House Blake

00:16:16banished from this city.

00:16:17Permanently.

00:16:19My husband is generous.

00:16:21He won't stoop to your level,

00:16:22but I will.

00:16:23Insult him again

00:16:24and I'll slap the defiance out of you.

00:16:27Jason,

00:16:28so,

00:16:28how'd I do?

00:16:29Got your revenge for you?

00:16:30Right after you left,

00:16:32my horse went mad and dropped dead.

00:16:33I know you saved my life.

00:16:35How sweet.

00:16:36But don't forget,

00:16:38Jason and I aren't divorced yet.

00:16:39You're still my husband.

00:16:41Thanks for the reminder.

00:16:42We're divorcing.

00:16:44Today.

00:16:45Divorce.

00:16:46Not that easy.

00:16:47Since you've picked Miss Grace,

00:16:49the castle's not short of money, right?

00:16:5130,000 gold coins.

00:16:53Then I'll sign.

00:16:54Don't push it.

00:16:5630,000 gold coins.

00:16:58I'll pay it for him.

00:17:01From now on,

00:17:03I am Jason's wife.

00:17:07Both of you,

00:17:09get out of our sight.

00:17:10Now.

00:17:19The priest just married us.

00:17:21We're husband and wife now.

00:17:25But Jason,

00:17:26I've got it all figured out.

00:17:28The city lord's aging,

00:17:29his heirs are fighting for the seat.

00:17:30Grace has power, sure,

00:17:31but she's still a woman.

00:17:33Can't command true loyalty.

00:17:34Marrying Jason?

00:17:35He's just a temporary shield

00:17:36to secure her position.

00:17:37Exactly.

00:17:39Just a peddler thinking

00:17:40he can climb into nobility?

00:17:42He's nothing but a pawn.

00:17:45Give it a few days,

00:17:47they'll toss him right out of the castle.

00:17:54Not here.

00:17:55Let's go home.

00:17:56We've got all night.

00:18:05Stop up ahead.

00:18:06We're square.

00:18:07I saved your life,

00:18:08you saved my mother.

00:18:10No more debts.

00:18:11The 30,000 gold coins.

00:18:12I'll pay you back soon.

00:18:16No.

00:18:17If you leave,

00:18:18what do I tell everyone

00:18:19at Grandfather's 80th birthday banquet?

00:18:21I already told the whole castle

00:18:23I'm bringing my fiancée.

00:18:24Jason, please,

00:18:26help me this once.

00:18:30Fine, fine.

00:18:32Just this once.

00:18:33With a face like mine.

00:18:35He'll fall for me in time.

00:18:37Perfect.

00:18:38Let's stop by the shops

00:18:39and pick up a birthday gift

00:18:40for Grandfather.

00:18:53Boss,

00:18:54wrap up the black cat.

00:18:55I'll take it.

00:18:56You got it!

00:18:59Knew it.

00:19:00Kid just got lucky.

00:19:02Scored one hidden gem by fluke,

00:19:04now he shows his true colors.

00:19:05This black cat's been dead stock

00:19:07for three years.

00:19:09Finally off my hands.

00:19:10This black cat.

00:19:11Dull, rough,

00:19:12and it's just iron.

00:19:14A hundred gold coins,

00:19:15not worth ten.

00:19:16Bring this to the banquet

00:19:17and every noble in the city

00:19:18will laugh us out of the room.

00:19:20Miss Grace,

00:19:20all sales are final.

00:19:21No returns,

00:19:22no exchanges.

00:19:23See, my lady,

00:19:24even the shopkeeper

00:19:25knows it's junk.

00:19:26You can't present this.

00:19:28The birthday banquet

00:19:28is your chance

00:19:29to secure your standing.

00:19:31We can't afford a mistake.

00:19:33My power.

00:19:34It's evolved again.

00:19:36Life's veins,

00:19:36valuations,

00:19:37and now I can see

00:19:38through the body.

00:19:39Meridians,

00:19:39afflictions,

00:19:40everything.

00:19:41I can diagnose disease.

00:19:42It's fine.

00:19:43It's the thought that counts.

00:19:45So she's under pressure

00:19:46within her own family.

00:19:47This banquet,

00:19:48I'll make damn sure

00:19:49she leaves with her head high.

00:20:10Fathers ruled this city

00:20:11for over 50 years

00:20:12without a hitch.

00:20:13Today's age is

00:20:14his 80th birthday.

00:20:15Everything must be flawless.

00:20:16I won't have anyone

00:20:17laugh at our family.

00:20:19Relax, Henry.

00:20:20I've had the gift

00:20:21ready for ages.

00:20:22Father will love it.

00:20:23I've prepared a rare treasure

00:20:25for grandfather's birthday, too.

00:20:27Anything to secure

00:20:29uncle's hold

00:20:30as city lord.

00:20:33Aaron's really grown

00:20:34into a fine young man.

00:20:35But the banquet's

00:20:36about to start.

00:20:37Where's Grace?

00:20:38Her?

00:20:38Orphan with zero manners.

00:20:40Don't bother waiting, uncle.

00:20:40Let's head in.

00:20:52I need to pick up

00:20:53the special gift

00:20:53for grandfather.

00:20:55Go ahead to the castle

00:20:56without me.

00:20:57Sure.

00:20:58Go ahead.

00:21:01Go ahead.

00:21:06Guess she thinks

00:21:07my gift's not good

00:21:08enough either.

00:21:09Fine.

00:21:10I'll blow them all away

00:21:11and win some respect

00:21:13for her.

00:21:15Please!

00:21:16Someone save my child!

00:21:18How dare you?

00:21:19Today is my father's birthday,

00:21:21a day of celebration.

00:21:22You bring a sick child here!

00:21:24Are you trying to humiliate us?

00:21:26Get lost!

00:21:27The city lord is kind.

00:21:29He'd never let

00:21:29his people suffer.

00:21:31Please!

00:21:32I'm begging you!

00:21:33Save my son!

00:21:35Let me take a look.

00:21:39Well, can he be saved?

00:21:41The affliction strange

00:21:42deep in his lungs

00:21:44beyond my skill.

00:21:46Henry, you're a better healer.

00:21:47Take a look.

00:21:53He's too far gone.

00:21:54Even the best physicians

00:21:55in this castle

00:21:56couldn't save him.

00:21:57Go home.

00:21:58Find a good spot

00:21:59to bury your child.

00:22:00My lord!

00:22:04Everyone says

00:22:05the city lord

00:22:06is merciful.

00:22:07You can't just

00:22:07let him die.

00:22:10We don't treat

00:22:11what we can't cure.

00:22:15If we fail,

00:22:16it tarnishes

00:22:17the castle's name.

00:22:22Please!

00:22:23Save my son!

00:22:25You're a guest

00:22:25of the castle.

00:22:26You must know

00:22:27someone who can help.

00:22:28He's dying!

00:22:29Please!

00:22:30I'm begging you!

00:22:31I'm begging you!

00:22:43Sir!

00:22:44Can you really

00:22:45save my child?

00:22:46Are you the city lord's

00:22:47grandson?

00:22:48No.

00:22:49I'm just a commoner.

00:22:51I can't guarantee

00:22:52I'll save him.

00:22:52There's risk.

00:22:53If you don't want me

00:22:54to try,

00:22:54you can walk away now.

00:22:55I trust you.

00:22:57Whatever happens,

00:22:58House Windsor

00:22:59takes full responsibility.

00:23:01Please!

00:23:02Save my child!

00:23:09He's alive!

00:23:10My baby's alive!

00:23:13He's stable.

00:23:14For now.

00:23:15Thank you for saving his life.

00:23:17What's your name?

00:23:18House Windsor

00:23:19will never forget this debt.

00:23:20Jason,

00:23:21don't thank me yet.

00:23:23I only stabilised him.

00:23:24Take him to the medical hall

00:23:25right away.

00:23:26He'll need further treatment

00:23:27to prevent a relapse.

00:23:34Jason,

00:23:35it's almost time.

00:23:37Let's head in

00:23:38for the birthday,

00:23:38Anquin.

00:23:51Grace,

00:23:52you made such a fuss

00:23:53about presenting

00:23:54your fiancé

00:23:55at grandfather's

00:23:5680th.

00:23:57Don't tell me

00:23:58this is who you picked.

00:23:59That's him.

00:24:05I know every

00:24:06nobleman's son

00:24:07in this city.

00:24:08Never seen your face.

00:24:10I'm not from a noble house.

00:24:11Just a peddler

00:24:12in the city.

00:24:13Well,

00:24:14this is rich.

00:24:15The city lord's

00:24:16precious granddaughter

00:24:17engaged to a penniless

00:24:19nobody.

00:24:20Boy,

00:24:21you don't belong

00:24:21in our world.

00:24:22Force your way in

00:24:23and you'll only

00:24:23humiliate yourself.

00:24:25Walk away

00:24:25while you can.

00:24:26Once Grace marries,

00:24:28she can claim

00:24:28castle lands

00:24:29and estates.

00:24:30A gutter peddler

00:24:31touching our family's

00:24:33power

00:24:33over my

00:24:34dead

00:24:34body.

00:24:36This marriage

00:24:37will not stand.

00:24:38Grace's highborn

00:24:39nobility

00:24:40marry you.

00:24:41You'd make us

00:24:42the laughingstock

00:24:43of Cloud City.

00:24:49This gold is yours.

00:24:51Take it and get out

00:24:52of this castle.

00:24:53Don't ever show

00:24:53your face

00:24:54near Grace again.

00:24:59My lady,

00:25:00with all this gold

00:25:01in front of him,

00:25:03can a common peddler

00:25:04really resist?

00:25:05Trust my judgment,

00:25:06he's not like

00:25:07the rest of them.

00:25:11What?

00:25:12A heap of gold

00:25:13still can't satisfy you?

00:25:15This is more wealth

00:25:16than you'd earn

00:25:16in ten lifetimes.

00:25:18Don't get greedy,

00:25:19boy.

00:25:19All of you,

00:25:20shut up!

00:25:21Henry Bryan,

00:25:22since when do you

00:25:23get a say

00:25:23in my marriage?

00:25:24Grace,

00:25:25I'm your elder.

00:25:26Is that any way

00:25:26to talk to me?

00:25:27I call you elder

00:25:29out of respect

00:25:29for this family.

00:25:30That's me being generous.

00:25:32Push me,

00:25:33and I'll cut off

00:25:34every coin

00:25:35to your branch.

00:25:36Don't forget,

00:25:38your lavish lifestyle,

00:25:40I fund all of it.

00:25:46The city lord

00:25:47has arrived.

00:25:53We pay our respects,

00:25:55my lord.

00:25:58Grace,

00:25:59so this is the

00:25:59fiance you chose yourself?

00:26:02Not bad.

00:26:03The young man

00:26:04looks promising.

00:26:05Grandfather,

00:26:05perfect timing.

00:26:06While you were away,

00:26:07they ganged up

00:26:08on me and Jason.

00:26:09Grace,

00:26:10it's grandfather's

00:26:1180th birthday banquet,

00:26:13and you show up late?

00:26:14Clearly,

00:26:15you have no respect

00:26:15for him.

00:26:16There was an emergency

00:26:17outside the castle.

00:26:18I was delayed.

00:26:20It wasn't intentional.

00:26:21Oh, really?

00:26:22So you ran into

00:26:23that woman at the gates, too?

00:26:25The one begging for help

00:26:26with her sick child?

00:26:27That child has a rare disease.

00:26:29Even I couldn't treat it.

00:26:31Your meddling will only

00:26:32tarnish the castle's reputation.

00:26:34We did meet that woman.

00:26:36I treated the child myself.

00:26:38Pulled him back

00:26:38from the brink of death.

00:26:41What nonsense?

00:26:43A street peddler

00:26:44who knows medicine?

00:26:45That's absurd!

00:26:46You dare talk about medicine?

00:26:48I've practiced for 30 years,

00:26:51treated countless patients.

00:26:53Even I couldn't cure

00:26:54that disease.

00:26:55And you,

00:26:57a lowborn,

00:26:59dare claim you saved

00:27:00that child?

00:27:02Pathetic lies.

00:27:09The fool ran his mouth

00:27:11in front of everyone,

00:27:12handed me the perfect weapon.

00:27:14I'll use this to destroy

00:27:15any chance he has with grace.

00:27:18Father, I examined that

00:27:19dying child myself.

00:27:20The disease reached his organs.

00:27:22He won't survive.

00:27:23Yet this man claims

00:27:24he cured him.

00:27:25That tells you everything

00:27:26about his character.

00:27:28We can't let a fraud like this

00:27:30lash onto our family.

00:27:31Brian,

00:27:32is what your brother says true?

00:27:33The child really can't be saved.

00:27:35Father,

00:27:36I examined the child

00:27:36up close as well.

00:27:37It's incurable.

00:27:38There's nothing anyone can do.

00:27:40Did Jason really lie

00:27:41in front of everyone

00:27:42just to save face?

00:27:43Young man,

00:27:44humble oarings

00:27:45are no sin.

00:27:46I built everything

00:27:47from nothing at your age.

00:27:49But dishonesty,

00:27:50that's unforgivable.

00:27:51Grace is my granddaughter.

00:27:52I won't let her marry you.

00:27:54My lord,

00:27:54everything I said

00:27:55is the truth,

00:27:56not a single lie.

00:27:57Send someone to verify

00:27:58if you don't believe me.

00:27:59They left ages ago.

00:28:01Good luck finding them.

00:28:03You're just making excuses.

00:28:05Grandfather,

00:28:06I believe Jason.

00:28:07He's my chosen fiancé.

00:28:09Humiliate him

00:28:09and you humiliate me.

00:28:11Anyone who insults him again today,

00:28:13don't blame me

00:28:14for what follows.

00:28:15Enough.

00:28:16Today is my 80th birthday banquet.

00:28:18Don't let this squabble

00:28:19spoil it for the guests.

00:28:22Grandfather,

00:28:23I've prepared

00:28:24a birthday gift for you.

00:28:25It took me six months

00:28:26searching far and wide,

00:28:28a century-old

00:28:28deep-sea red coral,

00:28:30once an exclusive treasure

00:28:31of the royal court.

00:28:32Very good.

00:28:34Thoughtful of you, Aaron.

00:28:35Father,

00:28:36I've also prepared

00:28:37something special.

00:28:37A scepter

00:28:38from the Queen of England.

00:28:39See for yourself.

00:28:40Father,

00:28:41I've prepared a treasure

00:28:42I know you'll love.

00:28:43A rare South African gemstone.

00:28:46Wonderful.

00:28:47Every piece

00:28:48of fine treasure.

00:28:49You've all been

00:28:50so thoughtful.

00:28:51We've all brought

00:28:52our gifts.

00:28:53You showed up

00:28:54so late, Grace.

00:28:55So what treasure

00:28:56did you bring

00:28:57for Grandfather?

00:29:02Grandfather,

00:29:03something came up today

00:29:04I couldn't prepare

00:29:05a proper gift in time,

00:29:06but I found this

00:29:07pocket watch for you.

00:29:09They say it came

00:29:09from the royal palace.

00:29:10Fine craftsmanship, sure,

00:29:12but compared to our

00:29:13royal scepters and treasures,

00:29:15plain, cheap,

00:29:16and hardly worth mentioning.

00:29:18Grace,

00:29:19Grandfather's always

00:29:20spoiled you the most,

00:29:21and all you bring

00:29:21is an ordinary pocket watch.

00:29:23That's lazy.

00:29:24It's fine.

00:29:25It's the thought

00:29:26that counts.

00:29:27Let the banquet continue.

00:29:28Hold on.

00:29:29I've got one more gift.

00:29:31Don't bother

00:29:31showing your garbage.

00:29:33You'll only

00:29:33embarrass yourself.

00:29:35This is your gift?

00:29:37A crude iron figurine.

00:29:39Suits your bloodline

00:29:40perfectly.

00:29:41Cheap, vulgar,

00:29:42and unfit

00:29:42for any respectable table.

00:29:44How laughable.

00:29:46Grace,

00:29:46your gifts

00:29:47and your fiancés,

00:29:48each more disgraceful

00:29:49than the last,

00:29:50not a shred

00:29:51of noble decorum.

00:29:52That so?

00:29:53Your treasures

00:29:53look expensive,

00:29:54but they're worthless junk.

00:29:56This piece?

00:29:58Worth more than

00:29:59your entire

00:30:00pathetic collection.

00:30:01Say that again.

00:30:02I dare you!

00:30:05Thank God.

00:30:06Ashel's finally safe.

00:30:09Anna, don't worry.

00:30:10I always repay my debts.

00:30:13His saviour

00:30:13will be well rewarded.

00:30:15My lord,

00:30:16I've looked into it.

00:30:17Today is City Lord

00:30:18William's 80th birthday.

00:30:20Shall we prepare a gift?

00:30:22Ready the carriage

00:30:23at once.

00:30:24Select the finest

00:30:25treasures from the estate.

00:30:26I'm attending

00:30:27City Lord William's

00:30:28birthday banquet myself.

00:30:30My lord,

00:30:30you're a hereditary earl.

00:30:32Your station

00:30:32is far above his.

00:30:34There's no need

00:30:34to attend in person.

00:30:36William saved

00:30:37the only bloodline

00:30:38of House Windsor.

00:30:39I owe him

00:30:40a life debt

00:30:41to hell with rank

00:30:42and station.

00:30:46You think you're

00:30:47qualified to judge

00:30:48my gift?

00:30:49Mine's worth more

00:30:50than all of yours

00:30:50combined.

00:30:51Where do you

00:30:52get the nerve?

00:30:53Aaron,

00:30:54your century-old

00:30:55deep-sea coral

00:30:56mass-produced junk.

00:30:58Ten gold coins

00:30:59are best.

00:31:00Brian,

00:31:00your royal scepter

00:31:02accrued forgery.

00:31:04Not worth five gold coins.

00:31:05And you,

00:31:06Henry,

00:31:07your gemstone's

00:31:08barely authentic.

00:31:09Common grade,

00:31:10a hundred-ock gold coins,

00:31:12tops.

00:31:12This iron cat

00:31:14is a pharaoh's relic.

00:31:15A hundred thousand

00:31:16gold coins.

00:31:17Any of you still

00:31:18want to talk?

00:31:19Insolent!

00:31:19You arrogant wretch!

00:31:21You dare call

00:31:22our birthday gifts

00:31:23forgeries

00:31:24in front of everyone!

00:31:26Jason,

00:31:27if you can't prove

00:31:27our treasures

00:31:28are fake today,

00:31:30I'll break your legs.

00:31:31Grace,

00:31:32Grace,

00:31:32this is the fiancé

00:31:34you chose?

00:31:35Arrogant,

00:31:37disrespectful,

00:31:38he's ruined

00:31:39my entire

00:31:40birthday,

00:31:41Anquid!

00:31:41Go back

00:31:42and kneel

00:31:43for your punishment!

00:31:45Grace and I

00:31:46did nothing wrong.

00:31:47Why should she be punished?

00:31:48Get out!

00:31:49Both of you!

00:31:50Grandfather,

00:31:52if you send

00:31:53Jason away,

00:31:54I'm leaving

00:31:55with him.

00:31:56Grace!

00:31:57You lost your parents

00:31:59as a child.

00:32:00I gave you

00:32:01everything.

00:32:02Love!

00:32:03Power!

00:32:04Half this city!

00:32:05And this is how

00:32:06you repay me?

00:32:07Defying me

00:32:08for a peddler?

00:32:09Father,

00:32:09she already

00:32:09takes his side

00:32:10in everything.

00:32:11If she actually

00:32:12marries him,

00:32:13this entire estate

00:32:14will fall into

00:32:15Jason's hands.

00:32:16Effective immediately!

00:32:17Grace is stripped

00:32:19of all authority

00:32:20and privileges.

00:32:21Until you leave,

00:32:22Jason,

00:32:22don't even think

00:32:23about coming back.

00:32:25The Earl of Glimsor

00:32:26has arrived!

00:32:30City Lord

00:32:31William's

00:32:3280th birthday.

00:32:33I've come

00:32:33personally

00:32:34to pay my respects.

00:32:39The Earl of Glimsor

00:32:40has arrived!

00:32:47City Lord

00:32:48William's

00:32:4980th birthday.

00:32:50I've come

00:32:50personally

00:32:51to pay my respects.

00:32:53My lord,

00:32:53please,

00:32:54take the seat

00:32:55of honour.

00:32:57My lord,

00:32:58your presence

00:32:59at my birthday banquet.

00:33:00What an immense honour

00:33:02for us all.

00:33:02I hear you frequent

00:33:03the royal palace,

00:33:04my lord,

00:33:05right by the crown's side.

00:33:06Impeccable taste

00:33:07and the most renowned

00:33:08collector in the realm.

00:33:09And that's not all.

00:33:10I've heard your master

00:33:11was the royal physician

00:33:12himself,

00:33:12a brilliant healer,

00:33:14and the kingdom's

00:33:14entire medicinal trade

00:33:16all in your hands,

00:33:17my lord.

00:33:18The Earl of Glimsor,

00:33:19immense power,

00:33:20the crown's full trust.

00:33:21This is my chance

00:33:22to stand out.

00:33:23I have to make

00:33:24an impression.

00:33:25I'm here for two

00:33:25reasons today.

00:33:27First,

00:33:27to celebrate

00:33:28the City Lord's

00:33:28birthday.

00:33:29Second,

00:33:29to give my thanks

00:33:30in person.

00:33:31My daughter-in-law,

00:33:32Anna,

00:33:32was passing through

00:33:33with my grandson,

00:33:34Ashel,

00:33:35when the boy

00:33:35fell gravely ill.

00:33:37Nearly died.

00:33:38Someone in this castle

00:33:39saved his life.

00:33:39I want to thank

00:33:40that person myself.

00:33:41The mother

00:33:42and child

00:33:43crying for help

00:33:44outside.

00:33:45That was your

00:33:46daughter-in-law,

00:33:47my lord?

00:33:47But I was there.

00:33:49I didn't see anyone

00:33:50step forward to help.

00:33:52I noticed Aaron

00:33:53was the last to arrive.

00:33:55Came in much later

00:33:56than the Revis.

00:33:56That's right,

00:33:57I saw it too.

00:33:58Could Aaron have

00:33:59secretly saved

00:34:00the Earl's grandson?

00:34:01Of course it must

00:34:02have been Aaron.

00:34:03He saw none of us

00:34:03could help.

00:34:04Feared a public failure

00:34:05would shame the castle.

00:34:07So he stayed behind,

00:34:08healed the boy in secret,

00:34:10and preserved our honor.

00:34:11Brian,

00:34:12you've raised a fine son.

00:34:14Aaron thinks ahead.

00:34:15Our castle finally

00:34:16has a worthy heir.

00:34:18Aaron, speak up!

00:34:19Was it really you

00:34:20who saved the Earl's grandson?

00:34:22I didn't save that kid.

00:34:23Must have been a coincidence.

00:34:24He recovered on his own.

00:34:26But a chance like this,

00:34:28if I claim the credit

00:34:29and grandfather buys it,

00:34:30the next city lord heir,

00:34:32that seat is mine.

00:34:34It was me.

00:34:35The situation was urgent

00:34:37and I was thinking

00:34:38of our family's reputation,

00:34:39so I treated the child

00:34:40quietly outside the castle.

00:34:41I had no idea

00:34:42it was the Earl's grandson.

00:34:43Just fortunate timing.

00:34:54I've seen shameless people.

00:34:56But you?

00:34:57You're on another level.

00:34:58I saved that kid!

00:35:00Me!

00:35:00Jason, stop!

00:35:01You never studied real medicine.

00:35:03How could you possibly

00:35:04treat something like that?

00:35:05Grace,

00:35:07you don't believe me either.

00:35:08Jason, can't you see

00:35:09what she sacrificed for you?

00:35:10She nearly got cast out!

00:35:12Left with nothing!

00:35:13And you're still dragging her down?

00:35:15How exactly did I drag

00:35:16anyone down today?

00:35:19So you're the one.

00:35:21Thank you for saving

00:35:22my grandson's life.

00:35:23Whatever you need,

00:35:24House Windsor will see it done.

00:35:26Aaron,

00:35:27an affliction none of us

00:35:28could cure,

00:35:29yet you resolved it quietly.

00:35:31Your skills have far

00:35:32surpassed ours.

00:35:34I just put in a bit more

00:35:35study than most, that's all.

00:35:37Please, no more praise.

00:35:38Good lad.

00:35:39Aaron excels in medicine,

00:35:41upholds our family's honor,

00:35:43and has a kind heart.

00:35:44From today,

00:35:45I formally name Aaron

00:35:47as heir.

00:35:48He will inherit

00:35:49the seat of city lord

00:35:50and carry on our legacy.

00:35:54Rest easy, grandfather.

00:35:56I'll protect our people

00:35:57and secure our legacy.

00:35:58I won't let you down.

00:36:00This is all your fault.

00:36:02If not for you,

00:36:03my lady wouldn't have

00:36:04lost everything.

00:36:05Even her claim as heir.

00:36:06Grace,

00:36:07I favored you above all.

00:36:09I gave you real power

00:36:11in this castle.

00:36:12But your judgment

00:36:13is terrible!

00:36:15Jason chases empty glory.

00:36:17He's no worthy partner.

00:36:18End things with him,

00:36:19and I'll still give you

00:36:20a chance at the seat.

00:36:22Grandfather,

00:36:23I will never leave him.

00:36:30My lord,

00:36:31Miss Anna forgot to inform you.

00:36:33The one who saved your grandson

00:36:34is from the castle,

00:36:35but not of the city lord's blood.

00:36:37His name is Jason.

00:36:47My lord,

00:36:48what's happened?

00:36:49My lord!

00:36:51Why did you hit me

00:36:52out of nowhere?

00:36:53That slap

00:36:53was mercy.

00:36:55You dared steal credit

00:36:56for saving my grandson.

00:36:58You think you can fool

00:36:59the Earl of Windsor?

00:37:01The one who truly saved

00:37:03my grandson,

00:37:03Ashel,

00:37:04is Mr. Jason.

00:37:05I mistook my benefactor

00:37:07and wronged you.

00:37:08I owe you an apology,

00:37:10Mr. Jason.

00:37:11It's nothing.

00:37:12Don't worry about it.

00:37:13Jason,

00:37:13so it really was

00:37:14you who saved the child.

00:37:16I told you all earlier,

00:37:17none of you believe me.

00:37:19My lord,

00:37:19there must be a mistake.

00:37:20Jason's just Grace's fiancee,

00:37:22not one of us.

00:37:23He's a peddler.

00:37:25How could he heal anyone?

00:37:27Indeed, my lord.

00:37:28We all saw it.

00:37:29The child was beyond saving.

00:37:31Even the finest physician

00:37:32couldn't have helped.

00:37:33Jason doesn't have that skill.

00:37:35My lord,

00:37:35the stakes are high.

00:37:36Please verify this again.

00:37:38What?

00:37:40Are you questioning my judgment?

00:37:42We wouldn't dare.

00:37:43I know some medicine myself.

00:37:46Jason,

00:37:47how exactly did you save

00:37:48my grandson?

00:37:49The child's cardiac

00:37:50merions were blocked.

00:37:51Circulation had stalled.

00:37:53I pressed on his heart

00:37:53to clear the obstruction.

00:37:55That's murder.

00:37:56The heart is vital.

00:37:57One wrong move

00:37:58and he'd be dead.

00:37:58Now I understand.

00:38:00The child was

00:38:01on the brink of death.

00:38:03Conventional methods

00:38:04had failed.

00:38:05Only this approach

00:38:05could have given him a chance.

00:38:07Ha!

00:38:08The cardiac mentrius,

00:38:09exactly right.

00:38:11All you noble families

00:38:13and your medical knowledge

00:38:14combined

00:38:14can't match Jason alone.

00:38:16Jason,

00:38:17I listened to their words

00:38:18and misjudged you.

00:38:20Don't take it to heart.

00:38:21Jason,

00:38:22I'm sorry.

00:38:23I misjudged you.

00:38:24You didn't deserve that.

00:38:26It's fine.

00:38:27As long as it's cleared up now.

00:38:29As for you,

00:38:30stealing credit,

00:38:33deceiving nobilities.

00:38:34Mercy, my lord.

00:38:36I lost my mind

00:38:37a moment of madness.

00:38:38Please, my lord,

00:38:39forgive me.

00:38:40Jason,

00:38:40how do you want him dealt with?

00:38:41Say the word

00:38:42and I'll make him disappear.

00:38:44Grace,

00:38:45speak up for Aaron.

00:38:46He's your cousin.

00:38:52Jason,

00:38:52Aaron is still family.

00:38:54Can you

00:38:55forgive him?

00:38:59Forget it.

00:39:00Get lost.

00:39:00Don't let me see

00:39:00your face again.

00:39:06My lord,

00:39:07please.

00:39:07I've turned this birthday

00:39:09banquet into a circus.

00:39:10Let me offer three gifts

00:39:12to make up for today's mess.

00:39:16These gifts.

00:39:17Who sent them?

00:39:18My lord,

00:39:19this scepter

00:39:20is Brian's birthday gift,

00:39:22said to have belonged

00:39:22to the Queen of England.

00:39:24Twelve rare gemstones

00:39:25on the shaft,

00:39:26absolutely magnificent.

00:39:27If the earl flavors us

00:39:29and puts in a good word

00:39:30with father,

00:39:30the hair position

00:39:31is as good as sealed.

00:39:33A crude forgery.

00:39:36cheap materials,

00:39:37wrong composition,

00:39:38doesn't meet royal standards.

00:39:40Impossible!

00:39:41This is the royal scepter.

00:39:42How can it be a forgery?

00:39:43What?

00:39:44You're questioning my appraisal?

00:39:46This shoddy craftsmanship

00:39:47worthy of the Queen?

00:39:49And this coral?

00:39:52Defective junk

00:39:53from some street market.

00:39:54No collection value.

00:39:55William,

00:39:56your children have appalling taste.

00:40:01Only this pocket watch

00:40:02shows real craftsmanship.

00:40:04Fine materials

00:40:05worth tens of thousands

00:40:06in gold coins.

00:40:08Someone actually put thought

00:40:09into this one.

00:40:19This thing.

00:40:22What's it doing here?

00:40:27It's just an ordinary

00:40:29iron watchman.

00:40:30Waysham is the earl

00:40:31so worked up.

00:40:32Unless

00:40:33there's more to it?

00:40:35Ordinary iron?

00:40:36This is a genuine

00:40:37royal treasure.

00:40:38This black cat statue

00:40:39is the Abysseidian

00:40:40sacred cat

00:40:41of the pharaoh

00:40:42offered to the kings

00:40:42of ancient Egypt.

00:40:44Bring me a basin

00:40:44of clean water.

00:40:52Open your eyes.

00:40:54You call this iron

00:40:55solid gold underneath.

00:40:57Combined with

00:40:58ancient royal craftsmanship,

00:40:59this is the authentic

00:41:00pharaoh's gilded

00:41:02sacred cat.

00:41:03A legendary treasure

00:41:04worth at least

00:41:05a hundred thousand

00:41:06gold coins.

00:41:07This...

00:41:07This crude-looking

00:41:09piece of iron

00:41:10is worth a fortune?

00:41:11So Jason's gift

00:41:13was the most valuable

00:41:14treasure here all along.

00:41:15We're the ones

00:41:16who look like

00:41:17complete fools.

00:41:18The earl just confirmed

00:41:19exactly what Jason said.

00:41:21Jason,

00:41:22I didn't expect this.

00:41:23Not just a brilliant healer,

00:41:25an expert appraiser too.

00:41:26Your eye puts

00:41:27most noble houses

00:41:28to shame.

00:41:29I was blind.

00:41:30I wronged you.

00:41:31Of all the gifts tonight,

00:41:33yours is the most valuable.

00:41:34My judgment's never wrong.

00:41:36My fiancé is just

00:41:37that exceptional.

00:41:38Your assessment

00:41:39matches mine perfectly.

00:41:40I'm impressed,

00:41:41so young,

00:41:42yet so knowledgeable.

00:41:43You flatter me,

00:41:44my lord.

00:41:44Just a few amateur observations.

00:41:46Since you have such talent,

00:41:47let me test you.

00:41:48Are you game?

00:41:49Go ahead,

00:41:49my lord.

00:41:50I'm ready.

00:41:58Only five gold coins?

00:42:00A total forgery.

00:42:01But the craftsmanship

00:42:02is incredible,

00:42:02nearly undetectable.

00:42:04Wait,

00:42:04there are markings

00:42:05hidden inside the gem?

00:42:06So my eyes

00:42:07can see through objects.

00:42:09The craftsmanship

00:42:09on this necklace

00:42:10is flawless.

00:42:11On the surface,

00:42:11not a single sign of forgery.

00:42:13Seems Jason's talent

00:42:14ends here.

00:42:15No real depth,

00:42:16after all.

00:42:17I overestimated him.

00:42:18If I may ask,

00:42:19my lord,

00:42:20how much did you pay

00:42:21for this at auction?

00:42:23180,000 gold coins.

00:42:25I'm afraid

00:42:25I have bad news,

00:42:26my lord.

00:42:27Those 180,000 gold coins

00:42:29wasted.

00:42:29You're saying

00:42:30it's a forgery.

00:42:31I've examined it

00:42:32over and over,

00:42:32not a single flaw.

00:42:33How can you tell?

00:42:34The flaw isn't

00:42:35on the surface.

00:42:36It's inside.

00:42:37And proving it

00:42:38is actually quite simple.

00:42:42No, stop, Jason.

00:42:43That's worth

00:42:44180,000 gold coins.

00:42:46Jason, don't be rash.

00:42:47Unless you're

00:42:48absolutely certain,

00:42:49don't destroy

00:42:50something this valuable.

00:42:51We can't afford

00:42:52to pay for this.

00:42:53Stop now!

00:43:06Jason!

00:43:07Do you have any idea

00:43:09what you've just done?

00:43:10That's an unforgivable crime!

00:43:12Even if we drain

00:43:14every coin in the treasury,

00:43:15we can't cover this.

00:43:17This loss could bankrupt

00:43:18the entire estate.

00:43:20You animal!

00:43:21You dragged

00:43:21this whole family down!

00:43:23Generations of work

00:43:24destroyed!

00:43:26Everyone,

00:43:27Jason destroyed

00:43:27that necklace on his own.

00:43:29It has nothing to do

00:43:30with our house.

00:43:30We bear no responsibility.

00:43:33How quickly

00:43:34they turn on him.

00:43:37I trust Jason.

00:43:39If he dared

00:43:39smash that necklace

00:43:40in front of everyone,

00:43:41he has his reasons.

00:43:42Look closely, everyone.

00:43:44This so-called treasure,

00:43:45the heart of the ocean,

00:43:46is nothing but

00:43:47a crude forgery.

00:43:55There's a craftsman's

00:43:56signature hidden inside.

00:43:58Evan,

00:43:59the proof is undeniable.

00:44:00This necklace

00:44:01is a forgery.

00:44:03You never even touched it.

00:44:04How did you know

00:44:05there was an inscription inside?

00:44:07Brilliant.

00:44:08Absolutely brilliant.

00:44:09Mr. Ward,

00:44:10you've earned

00:44:10my complete respect today.

00:44:12You solved what I couldn't.

00:44:14Congratulations,

00:44:14Lord Ashford.

00:44:15What a gifted

00:44:16son-in-law you've found.

00:44:17With Mr. Yawd

00:44:18at the estate,

00:44:19Cloud City's future

00:44:20is bright indeed.

00:44:22From this day forward,

00:44:23Arran is stripped

00:44:24of all family titles

00:44:25and access,

00:44:26permanently exiled

00:44:27from House Ashford.

00:44:28Grace shall be family head

00:44:29and acting city lord.

00:44:31Her word is law!

00:44:39The gifts at the banquet

00:44:41were for Lord William.

00:44:45This document,

00:44:46this is my personal gift

00:44:48to you.

00:44:48Open it, Jason.

00:44:50Hillside Manor?

00:44:52My lord,

00:44:53this is far too generous.

00:44:54I can't accept this.

00:44:55The hillside is home

00:44:56to the city's highest nobles.

00:44:57Even the cheapest estate there

00:44:58costs over

00:44:59a hundred thousand gold pounds.

00:45:00My lord, please!

00:45:02Take it back!

00:45:03What's this?

00:45:04You think my grandson's life

00:45:05isn't worth a single estate,

00:45:07Mr. Ward?

00:45:08Well, if you insist,

00:45:09my lord,

00:45:09I'll accept it.

00:45:10That's more like it.

00:45:11You've got a sharp eye

00:45:12for appraisal.

00:45:13I've got more treasures

00:45:14that'll need your expertise

00:45:15down the road.

00:45:19Jason,

00:45:20word just came

00:45:20from the clinic.

00:45:21Your mother's awake.

00:45:23She's gonna be fine.

00:45:24Thank goodness.

00:45:25I'm heading there now.

00:45:26I'm sorry.

00:45:27I just took over

00:45:28as city lord.

00:45:29I can't go with you.

00:45:30Don't worry.

00:45:31Focus on city affairs.

00:45:33I'll be fine on my own.

00:45:45Mr. Jason,

00:45:46your mother's condition

00:45:47has improved.

00:45:48She just needs

00:45:49her medicine and rest.

00:45:50She can go home anytime.

00:45:51But to be safe,

00:45:52I'd recommend

00:45:53one more month

00:45:53of observation here.

00:45:55Got it.

00:45:57I'd rather go home.

00:45:59It's too expensive here.

00:46:01It's such a waste.

00:46:03Mom,

00:46:04don't worry.

00:46:05It's not costing us anything.

00:46:07Mr. Jason has a

00:46:08special relationship

00:46:09with Miss Grace.

00:46:10Your fees are fully waived,

00:46:11Mrs. Ward.

00:46:12Favors always come with strings.

00:46:14I'd rather rest at home

00:46:15where I'm comfortable.

00:46:17All right.

00:46:17I promise.

00:46:18Let's leave now.

00:46:20I'll take you

00:46:20to our new home.

00:46:21New home?

00:46:23You bought a house?

00:46:24Where'd the money come from?

00:46:26We're poor,

00:46:27but don't you dare

00:46:28break the law for money.

00:46:30Mom, relax.

00:46:31Every coin I have,

00:46:32I earned.

00:46:33I'll tell you all

00:46:33about it on the way.

00:46:34But I still have things

00:46:36at the old house.

00:46:37I need to go back and pack.

00:46:38Forget that old stuff.

00:46:40Once we're in the new place,

00:46:41I'll buy everything brand new.

00:46:42No.

00:46:43Money or not,

00:46:44you don't forget your roots.

00:46:46Those things still work.

00:46:47Why toss them?

00:46:49Fine, fine, fine.

00:46:50Whatever you say, Mom.

00:46:51Wait here.

00:46:52I'll go pack it all up.

00:46:57Jason, I really underestimated you.

00:46:59Not just poor.

00:47:00You're a fraud too.

00:47:02You came all this way.

00:47:03What do you want?

00:47:03Drop the act.

00:47:05I've looked into it.

00:47:06Grace only kept you around

00:47:07to get her family off her back.

00:47:09A temporary shield.

00:47:10She never cared about you.

00:47:12That's the truth.

00:47:13You're lowborn.

00:47:14She's the city lord's granddaughter.

00:47:16You were never in her lead.

00:47:17Yeah?

00:47:19What if Grace actually likes me?

00:47:21You're packing up and leaving.

00:47:23You got thrown out of the castle.

00:47:25Who are you fooling?

00:47:28Face it.

00:47:29You tried to climb your way up

00:47:31and ended up with nothing.

00:47:32Pathetic.

00:47:33Let's get to the point.

00:47:34We're here to deliver

00:47:35a wedding invitation.

00:47:36Three days,

00:47:37you're invited to witness

00:47:38our wedding.

00:47:41You really do enjoy

00:47:42my leftovers.

00:47:43Jason, shut your mouth!

00:47:44Jason, you got the guts to show?

00:47:46I promise

00:47:47this wedding will make you a joke.

00:47:49You'll never live it down.

00:47:51Don't worry.

00:47:52I'll be there on time.

00:47:53And I promise

00:47:55you too will never forget it either.

00:48:15Mom, that's the whole story.

00:48:17I promise

00:48:18every coin to my name

00:48:20was earned clean.

00:48:21Check the name on the deed.

00:48:23This estate is mine.

00:48:25Mom, you've suffered enough

00:48:26by my side.

00:48:28From now on,

00:48:29you'll live in comfort.

00:48:30No more hardship.

00:48:32I believe you, son.

00:48:33Let the past go.

00:48:36Just...

00:48:36When you meet the right girl,

00:48:38bring her home for me to see.

00:48:42We'll see.

00:48:43No rush.

00:48:46Sir,

00:48:47Lord Billy at the

00:48:48underground auction house.

00:48:49Some pieces of

00:48:50unknown origin came in.

00:48:51He can't tell real from fake.

00:48:53He's requesting your help

00:48:53to apprease them.

00:48:54Got it.

00:48:55I'm on my way.

00:49:03300,000 gold coin.

00:49:05310,000.

00:49:08Edmund,

00:49:08every time I bid,

00:49:09you tack on exactly

00:49:1010,000.

00:49:11What's the point?

00:49:12Highest bidder wins.

00:49:13That's how it works.

00:49:14Don't like my strategy?

00:49:16Tell them to change the rules.

00:49:17I'll keep out bidding you.

00:49:19If you can't handle it,

00:49:20drop out.

00:49:21310,000 going once,

00:49:23going twice,

00:49:24three times.

00:49:25Sold.

00:49:26Congratulations, Earl Crane,

00:49:28on the ruby crown.

00:49:30Billy,

00:49:31is that really all you've got?

00:49:32You run the city's

00:49:34entire trade network,

00:49:35and this is the best you can do?

00:49:38He's my father's sworn rival.

00:49:40Lost to dad

00:49:41in the Merchant Guild

00:49:41chairman election years ago.

00:49:43He's held a grudge ever since.

00:49:45Targets us at every turn.

00:49:47My lord,

00:49:48the grand finale lot

00:49:49is about to be presented.

00:49:51This is the real prize tonight.

00:49:53I got intel.

00:49:54Only one of those three chests

00:49:55holds a true treasure.

00:49:56The rest are worthless junk.

00:49:58Problem is,

00:49:58I can't tell which one,

00:49:59and Edmund will stop

00:50:00at nothing to win it.

00:50:01Leave it to me.

00:50:02Don't worry.

00:50:03Can you really tell

00:50:04what's inside?

00:50:04They're completely sealed.

00:50:05No one can see through them.

00:50:07Trust me.

00:50:08Jason's appraisal skills

00:50:09put the top experts to shame.

00:50:12If he weren't already with Grace,

00:50:13I'd marry you off to him

00:50:14in a heartbeat.

00:50:21Seen through the chests

00:50:22from back here?

00:50:23Too conspicuous.

00:50:24Could draw attention.

00:50:26I need to get closer.

00:50:32Next up,

00:50:33the grand finale lot.

00:50:35Three sealed chests

00:50:36from a sunken royal ship.

00:50:38Bidding is blind.

00:50:39No opening allowed.

00:50:40All buyers get three minutes

00:50:41on stage to inspect.

00:50:42Once bidding starts,

00:50:44all risk is yours.

00:50:45I'll go take a look.

00:50:46Billy,

00:50:47this is your personal appraiser?

00:50:48Some kid still wet

00:50:49behind the ears?

00:50:50He can appraise?

00:50:51Dad,

00:50:52his medical skills

00:50:52are impressive,

00:50:53but appraisal

00:50:54takes years of experience.

00:50:55I'm a little worried.

00:50:56Just watch.

00:50:57Jason's the most gifted appraiser

00:50:58I've ever seen.

00:50:59A once-in-a-century genius.

00:51:09The first two chests

00:51:10aren't worth much.

00:51:11Don't waste your money.

00:51:11The real treasure

00:51:12is in chest three.

00:51:13We have to get it.

00:51:14But if we go straight

00:51:15for chest three,

00:51:16it's too obvious.

00:51:17Edmund will drive

00:51:18the price sky high.

00:51:19We'll never control the cost.

00:51:20Don't worry.

00:51:21We fake a fight

00:51:22over the first two chests.

00:51:23Throw Edmund off.

00:51:24Make him guess wrong.

00:51:25Chest number one.

00:51:27Starting bid,

00:51:2710,000 gold coins.

00:51:37Hmph.

00:51:38140,000.

00:51:39200,000.

00:51:41Billy's throwing

00:51:41serious money

00:51:42at chest one.

00:51:43The real treasure

00:51:43must be inside.

00:51:44I have to win it.

00:51:46210,000.

00:51:47Edmund,

00:51:47you really want

00:51:48to fight me on this?

00:51:49300,000.

00:51:50310,000.

00:51:51Go ahead.

00:51:52Keep raising.

00:51:52Let's see how deep

00:51:53your pockets go.

00:51:58500,000 gold coins.

00:52:00510,000.

00:52:01Billy,

00:52:01I know exactly

00:52:02what you're worth.

00:52:03This is your ceiling.

00:52:05You really want

00:52:05to keep pushing?

00:52:07510,000.

00:52:08Going once.

00:52:08Going twice.

00:52:10Oh!

00:52:10Congratulations to

00:52:11Earl Crane

00:52:12for claiming

00:52:12mystery chest number one.

00:52:14What a shame.

00:52:15Our trading houses

00:52:16have always been rivals.

00:52:17I won't let you

00:52:18gain an inch.

00:52:19Earl Crane

00:52:19took chest one.

00:52:20Whatever's inside

00:52:21must be priceless.

00:52:23Guaranteed profit.

00:52:24Father,

00:52:25chest one is gone.

00:52:26We have to go

00:52:26all in on chest two.

00:52:27Chest number two

00:52:28contains a lost

00:52:29Mastiffus oil painting.

00:52:31One of a kind.

00:52:32Starting bid,

00:52:3310,000 gold coins.

00:52:36Bidding starts now!

00:52:38500,000 gold coins.

00:52:40I'm taking this piece.

00:52:41I'd ask the rest of you

00:52:42to stand down.

00:52:44Stand down?

00:52:45Not a chance.

00:52:46600,000!

00:52:49Edmund,

00:52:50I won't forget this.

00:52:53My lord,

00:52:54I've been watching closely.

00:52:55Both chests

00:52:55contain authentic pieces.

00:52:57They'll turn a profit

00:52:57for certain.

00:52:58Well done.

00:52:59Once I win this auction,

00:53:01you'll be handsomely rewarded.

00:53:03600,000,

00:53:04third and final call,

00:53:05sold!

00:53:07Congratulations

00:53:08to Earl Crane

00:53:09for claiming

00:53:09chest number two.

00:53:10You think you can

00:53:11compete with me

00:53:12for sunken treasure?

00:53:13Know your place.

00:53:14Chest number three

00:53:15may contain

00:53:16a massive sapphire.

00:53:17Authenticity cannot

00:53:18be verified.

00:53:19Starting bid,

00:53:2050,000 gold coins.

00:53:21Minimum raise,

00:53:221,000.

00:53:23Bidding starts now!

00:53:23What do we do?

00:53:24It's the last one

00:53:24do we bid?

00:53:25Take it at base price.

00:53:26Even if it's worthless inside,

00:53:28it's better than

00:53:28leaving empty-handed.

00:53:3050,000 gold coins.

00:53:3160,000 gold coins.

00:53:34100,000 gold coins!

00:53:36Chest three

00:53:36is worn and damaged.

00:53:39Terrible condition.

00:53:40Nothing like the first two.

00:53:41Probably no real treasure inside.

00:53:43Earl Windsor

00:53:44always has a sharp eye.

00:53:45He wouldn't waste gold

00:53:46on a rotting crate.

00:53:47100,000!

00:53:48Going once,

00:53:49going twice,

00:53:54Much obliged,

00:53:55Earl Crane.

00:53:56The true treasure

00:53:57of tonight's auction.

00:53:59It belongs to us.

00:54:00It's a rotting croat.

00:54:02Even if you think

00:54:03you scored a hidden gem,

00:54:04it'll be worthless.

00:54:05Edmund!

00:54:06Thanks for driving up

00:54:07the prices all night.

00:54:08You blew everything

00:54:09on two ordinary chests,

00:54:11and we scored

00:54:11the real hidden gem

00:54:12at base price.

00:54:19Even if you scored

00:54:20a hidden gem,

00:54:21it's just a rotting crate.

00:54:22You couldn't pay me

00:54:23to take it.

00:54:24Then keep your eyes

00:54:25wide open.

00:54:26The house permits

00:54:27on-site verification.

00:54:29Open chest number three.

00:54:30Now.

00:54:31Right away,

00:54:31Lord Billy.

00:54:32We'll open it now.

00:54:35Could this be

00:54:37the legendary

00:54:38Josephine Blue Moon

00:54:39necklace?

00:54:40Lost for a hundred years.

00:54:43They say it sank

00:54:43with a royal ship

00:54:44a century ago.

00:54:45Countless salvage teams

00:54:46spent years searching.

00:54:47No one ever found it.

00:54:48No one expected

00:54:49a priceless heirloom

00:54:50hidden inside

00:54:50a beat-up crate.

00:54:51Ten million gold coins.

00:54:52Minimum.

00:54:53Congratulations to

00:54:54Lord Billy.

00:54:55A legendary treasure,

00:54:56the Josephine Blue Moon

00:54:58necklace.

00:54:58Its last public auction

00:54:59price,

00:55:00thirty million gold coins.

00:55:02So Billy was playing

00:55:03the long game

00:55:04from the start.

00:55:05His target was always

00:55:06chest three,

00:55:07the one nobody wanted.

00:55:08But the real mastermind

00:55:09isn't Lord Billy.

00:55:10It's that young man

00:55:11beside him.

00:55:12My lord,

00:55:13the house offers

00:55:14fifty million gold coins

00:55:16to buy back

00:55:16the Blue Moon necklace

00:55:17on the spant.

00:55:18Would you consider selling?

00:55:19It's just a trinket.

00:55:21Hardly worth mentioning.

00:55:22Open my two chests.

00:55:23Now!

00:55:24What's inside

00:55:25will put that necklace

00:55:26to shame!

00:55:30Lord Edmund,

00:55:31both treasure chests

00:55:32you won

00:55:32have been fully inspected.

00:55:34Just tell me!

00:55:35How much can

00:55:36these two pieces

00:55:37still sell for?

00:55:39The auction house

00:55:39is willing to buy them back.

00:55:41Twenty thousand gold coins

00:55:42for both.

00:55:43What did you just say?

00:55:44Both pieces are

00:55:45high quality forgers.

00:55:47They possess no collector

00:55:48or trade value

00:55:49whatsoever.

00:55:50Leaving them here

00:55:50would only result

00:55:51in them gathering dust.

00:55:53You swore both chests

00:55:55held shipwrecked treasures.

00:55:57I spent a million gold coins

00:55:59on a pile of forges.

00:56:00You owe me

00:56:01a proper explanation

00:56:03now!

00:56:04My lord,

00:56:05you agreed

00:56:05Lord Billy had a keen eye.

00:56:07You were the one

00:56:08who insisted

00:56:08on following his bids.

00:56:10How can this loss

00:56:11be blamed entirely

00:56:12on me?

00:56:13Get out!

00:56:14You're dismissed

00:56:15and I'll recover

00:56:16every coin

00:56:17even if it bleeds you dry.

00:56:19Edmund,

00:56:20a million cones

00:56:21for two forges.

00:56:22With taste like that,

00:56:24there's no point

00:56:24in keeping your business open.

00:56:26You might as well

00:56:26shut it down now.

00:56:27What a pity.

00:56:29It seems luck

00:56:30simply wasn't on your side,

00:56:31Lord Edmund.

00:56:33Sir,

00:56:34may I ask your name?

00:56:36The auction house

00:56:37is prepared to offer

00:56:37a top-tier salary

00:56:38to hire you

00:56:39as our lifetime

00:56:40chief appraiser.

00:56:42No thanks.

00:56:42I have no such intentions.

00:56:47Jason,

00:56:48I owe you one today.

00:56:49The profit doesn't matter.

00:56:51Putting Edmund in his place,

00:56:53now that felt damn good.

00:56:55You're too kind,

00:56:56my lord.

00:56:57Listen,

00:56:57I'm taking you

00:56:58to meet someone

00:56:59truly powerful.

00:57:00With him backing you,

00:57:01no one in this city

00:57:02will dare touch you.

00:57:04Who might that be?

00:57:05The king's own brother,

00:57:06Duke Chris Sterling.

00:57:18Your Grace,

00:57:19this is Jason Ward,

00:57:20the man I've told you about.

00:57:21He saved my grandson's life.

00:57:23So you're the one.

00:57:25If you ever need anything,

00:57:27come straight to me.

00:57:28Dad,

00:57:28you're not well.

00:57:30Go upstairs and rest.

00:57:32Don't force yourself

00:57:33to see guests.

00:57:33I've spoiled Sophia

00:57:35since she was little.

00:57:36Please forgive her.

00:57:38Forgive my bluntness,

00:57:39Your Grace.

00:57:40You won't survive

00:57:41past next year.

00:57:42How dare you?

00:57:43I could kill you right now.

00:57:44Go ahead.

00:57:46But once I'm dead,

00:57:47no one else can cure

00:57:47what's killing your father.

00:57:49Young man,

00:57:49I'll give you one chance

00:57:50to prove yourself.

00:57:51But if you're wrong,

00:57:52you and Billy

00:57:53both die today.

00:57:55Jason,

00:57:55are you sure about this?

00:57:56Lately,

00:57:57you've been exhausted constantly,

00:57:59blacking out without warning.

00:58:00Am I right?

00:58:01No one knows

00:58:02about those symptoms.

00:58:03How could you possibly know?

00:58:05Dad,

00:58:06he's obviously a spy.

00:58:08Anyone could find out

00:58:09about your condition

00:58:10with a little digging.

00:58:11Then what about your legs?

00:58:12Nearly paralyzed

00:58:13below the waist.

00:58:14No one knows that,

00:58:15do they?

00:58:16Only Sophia and I

00:58:17know about the paralysis.

00:58:19We never told a soul

00:58:20does he truly possess

00:58:21such extraordinary

00:58:22healing skill.

00:58:24Mr. Ward,

00:58:26I'm begging you.

00:58:27Please save my life.

00:58:34Strange.

00:58:35He's perfectly healthy.

00:58:36Nothing wrong at all.

00:58:40Just like that.

00:58:41The Duke lost a year.

00:58:43The ring gained one.

00:58:44This ring.

00:58:44It's been feeding

00:58:45on its wearer's life force.

00:58:47Hey,

00:58:48can you actually

00:58:48treat him or not?

00:58:49The root of the Duke's

00:58:50suffering isn't his body.

00:58:52It's that ring.

00:59:00You're insane!

00:59:01That was a birthday gift

00:59:02from Duke Frank,

00:59:03a priceless family treasure.

00:59:05You could never afford

00:59:06to replace it.

00:59:07Silence.

00:59:08Show some respect.

00:59:12I feel incredible.

00:59:14My whole body.

00:59:17Father,

00:59:18you're standing.

00:59:19Your legs,

00:59:20they're completely healed.

00:59:21I'm fully recovered.

00:59:23Jason,

00:59:24you saved my life.

00:59:25From now on,

00:59:26anything you need,

00:59:27anything,

00:59:28I've got your back.

00:59:29Your Grace,

00:59:29that's too generous.

00:59:31I don't deserve

00:59:32such kindness.

00:59:33But what caused

00:59:33the Duke's weakness?

00:59:34Why couldn't any

00:59:35physician find it?

00:59:36This ring is a cursed

00:59:37ancient artifact.

00:59:38It feeds on the wearer's

00:59:40vitality and lifespan.

00:59:41He seemed fine

00:59:42on the outside,

00:59:43but his life force

00:59:44was draining away

00:59:44undetected.

00:59:45This ring

00:59:46was a gift from Duke Frank

00:59:47to my father.

00:59:52So someone's desperate

00:59:53for my throne.

00:59:54Tried to kill me

00:59:55from the shadows.

00:59:57Time to purge the traitors

00:59:58and bring every faction

00:59:59to heal.

01:00:05Jason,

01:00:06you spotted

01:00:06my father's illness

01:00:07at a glance.

01:00:08Can you tell

01:00:09if anything's wrong

01:00:10with me?

01:00:11From now on,

01:00:11you address him

01:00:12as Uncle Jason.

01:00:16Uncle Jason?

01:00:17Louder.

01:00:18Jason saved my life.

01:00:19He and I are equals.

01:00:21Uncle Jason!

01:00:23Happy now?

01:00:24Good girl,

01:00:24little niece.

01:00:25Stop teasing me.

01:00:27Just tell me

01:00:27what's wrong.

01:00:28You've been irritable

01:00:29lately.

01:00:30Night sweats, too.

01:00:32Your body's out of balance.

01:00:33Pent-up desire

01:00:34with no outlet.

01:00:35Get yourself a boyfriend.

01:00:37Problem solved.

01:00:38I'm gonna kill you!

01:00:41If you ever need my help,

01:00:43anything at all,

01:00:44just say the word.

01:00:46I do need your help,

01:00:48your grace.

01:00:49In three days,

01:00:50I want House Blake

01:00:51wiped off the map.

01:01:03Mr. Ward,

01:01:04this is the transfer deed

01:01:06for Whitby Tavern.

01:01:07Once you sign,

01:01:08the entire tavern

01:01:08is yours.

01:01:09It's too generous.

01:01:11I can't accept it.

01:01:12These are his grace's orders.

01:01:14I'm only carrying them out.

01:01:15Please don't make this

01:01:16difficult for us.

01:01:23In just a few days,

01:01:24you've got a house

01:01:25and a tavern.

01:01:26It's unbelievable.

01:01:33Well, well.

01:01:34If it isn't Jason...

01:01:36This is the finest tavern

01:01:37in the city.

01:01:38You think someone like you

01:01:39deserves to set foot here?

01:01:40What?

01:01:40Here to peddle your junk?

01:01:42This place is for nobility.

01:01:44Your cheap garbage

01:01:45doesn't belong here.

01:01:46You're the ones

01:01:46who sent me the invitation

01:01:48to witness your wedding.

01:01:50That invitation was a joke.

01:01:52Without me,

01:01:53you can't even get through

01:01:54the front door.

01:01:55That's so.

01:01:56I told you.

01:01:57You'll remember this wedding

01:01:58for the rest of your lives.

01:02:00What are you standing around for?

01:02:02Throw him out!

01:02:03Don't let him near this place.

01:02:10Welcome, Mr. Ward.

01:02:11It's an honor.

01:02:12I still think I can't get in.

01:02:15What if they just let him in?

01:02:17He's been hanging around here

01:02:18peddling for years.

01:02:20Probably knows a few

01:02:21low-level staff.

01:02:24Don't worry about it.

01:02:25Let the banquet

01:02:26will put him in his place.

01:02:31Will the bride please

01:02:33step forward

01:02:33and say a few words?

01:02:35Thank you all

01:02:36friends and nobles alike

01:02:37for being here today.

01:02:39Marrying Mac

01:02:40is the greatest joy

01:02:41of my life

01:02:41and there's one person

01:02:43I need to thank.

01:02:44My ex-husband,

01:02:45Jason!

01:02:51What does the bride

01:02:52wish to thank

01:02:52this gentleman for?

01:02:54I thank him for being

01:02:56born worthless.

01:02:58For never giving me

01:02:59the wealth or dignity

01:03:00I deserve.

01:03:02His pathetic failure

01:03:03drove me right into

01:03:04Mac's arms.

01:03:07Sir, would you like to respond?

01:03:09Don't mention it.

01:03:10Whatever makes you happy.

01:03:11What a coward.

01:03:13Humiliated in public

01:03:14and he doesn't even fight back.

01:03:15Anyone else would have

01:03:16left by now.

01:03:17He's just begging for more

01:03:18humiliation.

01:03:18I've prepared

01:03:20a wedding gift

01:03:21for you two as well.

01:03:22You?

01:03:24What could you possibly give

01:03:26that's worth anything?

01:03:29Shamed like that

01:03:30and still hanging around,

01:03:32the man has zero spine.

01:03:33Now I see it.

01:03:35Hayley was smart

01:03:36to divorce you.

01:03:37You don't belong

01:03:37anywhere near nobility.

01:03:41My lord.

01:03:42Disaster.

01:03:43All our merchant guild's

01:03:45goods have been seized.

01:03:45The whole operation's crippled.

01:03:47We've lost over

01:03:48half our assets.

01:03:51Impossible!

01:03:52We've greased

01:03:53every palm in this city.

01:03:54How could our goods

01:03:55be seized?

01:03:56We just secured ties

01:03:57with Duke Chris.

01:03:58Who would dare

01:03:59touch our business?

01:04:00It must be a rival

01:04:01trying to sabotage us.

01:04:02So, how do you like

01:04:04my wedding gift?

01:04:04I told you,

01:04:05this wedding

01:04:06would be unforgettable.

01:04:07You're saying

01:04:09you did this?

01:04:11A commoner

01:04:12shaking a noble

01:04:13merchant guild?

01:04:15Don't make me laugh.

01:04:17Just a coincidence

01:04:18has nothing to do

01:04:19with him.

01:04:20The seizure is temporary.

01:04:22It'll be resolved soon.

01:04:23Only Duke Chris

01:04:24has that kind of power.

01:04:26A lowborn commoner.

01:04:27He doesn't have the means.

01:04:30My lord!

01:04:32The warehouse caught fire!

01:04:34All our inventory

01:04:35has burned to ashes!

01:04:41The warehouse

01:04:42had guards posted!

01:04:43How the hell

01:04:44did a fire break out?

01:04:46The fire spread too fast.

01:04:48We couldn't save it.

01:04:50The whole warehouse

01:04:51is gone.

01:04:51All the goods

01:04:53destroyed.

01:04:54We owe breach penalties.

01:04:56Our cash flow is dead.

01:04:58We're

01:04:59bankrupt.

01:05:00The show's just

01:05:01getting started.

01:05:02Shut up!

01:05:03You're saying

01:05:04you torched the warehouse too?

01:05:06Impossible.

01:05:07I know exactly

01:05:08who he is.

01:05:09He doesn't have

01:05:10the means for this.

01:05:11But all this happening

01:05:12at the wedding,

01:05:13that's too much

01:05:14of a coincidence.

01:05:15But no one has

01:05:16this kind of power

01:05:16except Duke Chris.

01:05:18Jason's a commoner.

01:05:19He can't pull this off.

01:05:21Find out everything

01:05:22about Jason.

01:05:22Now!

01:05:23I need to know

01:05:24who's backing him.

01:05:25My lord,

01:05:27Duke Chris

01:05:27led the raid himself.

01:05:29He seized

01:05:30our trading house.

01:05:31So they crossed Duke Chris.

01:05:33Now it all makes sense.

01:05:34The Duke could crush

01:05:35the Blakes with a snap

01:05:36of his fingers.

01:05:37They're done for.

01:05:38But Jason,

01:05:40claiming the Duke's

01:05:41actions as his own,

01:05:42he's a dead man walking.

01:05:43Keep up the act.

01:05:44What, you're gonna tell

01:05:45everyone Duke Chris

01:05:46takes orders from you?

01:05:47I've never crossed Duke Chris.

01:05:49Why is this happening?

01:05:50You haven't wronged me.

01:05:51You've wronged Jason.

01:05:53Crossing him

01:05:53is far worse

01:05:54than crossing me.

01:06:06Mr. Ward,

01:06:07does this resolution

01:06:08suit you?

01:06:09Thank you, Your Grace.

01:06:10I told you,

01:06:11this wedding will be

01:06:12a nightmare

01:06:13you'll never escape.

01:06:14Duke Chris,

01:06:15one of the most

01:06:16powerful men

01:06:17alive.

01:06:18Why does he respect

01:06:19you?

01:06:20Who the hell are you?

01:06:22Your Grace,

01:06:22we meant no offense.

01:06:24Please show mercy.

01:06:26Forgive us this once.

01:06:28Begging me won't help.

01:06:29The man you need

01:06:30to beg is Mr. Ward.

01:06:32Your Grace,

01:06:33what do you mean?

01:06:34You never had a clue

01:06:35who you were dealing with.

01:06:37Neil,

01:06:38apologize.

01:06:39Your Grace,

01:06:40please,

01:06:41spare our family.

01:06:47Mr. Ward,

01:06:48please show mercy.

01:06:51Mr. Ward,

01:06:52I was wrong.

01:06:53I'll never cross you again.

01:06:55Please,

01:06:56spare me.

01:06:57It's impossible.

01:06:58He's just a commoner.

01:07:00He can't have this kind of power.

01:07:01You've got it wrong.

01:07:05This is all because of you.

01:07:07You brought ruin on our family,

01:07:09you fool.

01:07:12If you hadn't stirred things up,

01:07:14we'd never have crossed,

01:07:15Jason.

01:07:16You ruined everything.

01:07:17Get out.

01:07:19The engagement is off.

01:07:20Let go of me!

01:07:22Back when you humiliated me,

01:07:24looked down on me.

01:07:25Did you ever see this coming?

01:07:26I know I was wrong,

01:07:28Jason.

01:07:29Can we start over?

01:07:33Please forgive me.

01:07:35Oh, yeah?

01:07:36I've got one thing to say.

01:07:39Happy wedding.

01:07:43This

01:07:45is my final gift.

01:07:53Jason,

01:07:54what are you doing here?

01:07:56Aren't you going in for the wedding?

01:07:58I should be asking you.

01:07:59Why are you here?

01:08:00I heard you,

01:08:01Chris,

01:08:01moved against the Blake family.

01:08:03Miss Grace sent me to check on things.

01:08:04I wanted to help you,

01:08:05but his grace already handled it.

01:08:07The wedding's almost over.

01:08:08Go in now.

01:08:09You can still catch the show.

01:08:11That's not important.

01:08:12But his grace stepping in?

01:08:14Was that because of you,

01:08:15Jason?

01:08:15His grace has his own reasons.

01:08:18I've just met him a few times.

01:08:19True.

01:08:20Someone that powerful

01:08:21is way above our reach.

01:08:22Chloe,

01:08:23I love you.

01:08:24Please,

01:08:24be with me.

01:08:27Chloe,

01:08:28I've liked you for so long.

01:08:29Will you give me a chance?

01:08:31Carter,

01:08:31I've turned you down

01:08:32so many times.

01:08:34Stop bothering me.

01:08:35I'm noble-born.

01:08:37I'm devoted to you.

01:08:38Why do you keep rejecting me?

01:08:40Who's this?

01:08:42A suitor.

01:08:43Won't stop hounding me.

01:08:45Why are you two together?

01:08:46Don't tell me

01:08:47he's your little lover.

01:08:48Whoa.

01:08:50I'm not.

01:08:51Yes,

01:08:52that's right.

01:08:53Jason is my fiancé.

01:08:54So stop coming around.

01:09:00Chloe,

01:09:01I wanted to court you

01:09:02as a common man,

01:09:03but fine.

01:09:04No more hiding

01:09:05who I really am.

01:09:07I'm Carter,

01:09:08Duke Chris's

01:09:09own grandson.

01:09:21You're Duke Chris's grandson?

01:09:22That's right.

01:09:23What?

01:09:24Scared?

01:09:24Aunt Sophia,

01:09:25over here.

01:09:26Just wait.

01:09:27My aunt's coming.

01:09:28He's the Duke's grandson.

01:09:29We should go.

01:09:30Don't want trouble.

01:09:32Relax.

01:09:33Someone we know

01:09:34just showed up.

01:09:35Jason,

01:09:36what are you doing here?

01:09:37Aunt Sophia,

01:09:38these two were giving me

01:09:39a hard time.

01:09:40That's a lie.

01:09:42You wouldn't leave Chloe alone.

01:09:43She turned you down

01:09:44so you picked a fight with us.

01:09:47Aunt Sophia,

01:09:49you know him?

01:09:50You dare complain?

01:09:51Cross Mr. Jason

01:09:52and my father

01:09:53will break your legs.

01:09:55Come on, niece.

01:09:56What do you call me?

01:10:02Uncle Jason.

01:10:03Uncle?

01:10:04Are you some distant relative?

01:10:06I call him Uncle.

01:10:07So what does that

01:10:08make him to you?

01:10:12Grandfather?

01:10:18No need for that.

01:10:19We're practically

01:10:19the same age.

01:10:20Aunt Sophia,

01:10:21what should I call him then?

01:10:22Just call him

01:10:23Sir Jason.

01:10:24And next time you see

01:10:25Uncle Jason,

01:10:26walk the other way.

01:10:27Understood?

01:10:28Yes, Sir Jason.

01:10:29I won't do it again.

01:10:30I swear.

01:10:31Hand over your allowance.

01:10:33All of it.

01:10:33Auntie,

01:10:34you're taking my money again.

01:10:36Grandfather gives you

01:10:37so much every month.

01:10:38Did you blow through

01:10:39all of it?

01:10:39Quit whining.

01:10:40Every trade I made

01:10:41went south.

01:10:42I'm broke.

01:10:43Hand it over.

01:10:44Auntie,

01:10:44you lose money

01:10:45every single time.

01:10:46They call you

01:10:46the guild's biggest

01:10:47money loser.

01:10:48My savings

01:10:49can't take your spending.

01:10:50You're buying goods

01:10:51in bulk.

01:10:51What's the plan?

01:10:52Spices sell for double

01:10:53in the next town.

01:10:54I'm stockhiling

01:10:55to resell for profit.

01:10:57Spread the risk.

01:10:58Guaranteed returns.

01:11:00Every single spice

01:11:01is dropping.

01:11:02The guild's biggest

01:11:02money loser strikes again.

01:11:06Buy rosemary.

01:11:08Only rosemary.

01:11:09Ship it to the next town

01:11:10today.

01:11:10You'll make a killing.

01:11:12Rosemary just hit the market.

01:11:13The demand's unclear.

01:11:15That's a huge risk.

01:11:16Aunt Sophia,

01:11:17don't listen to him.

01:11:17That's my money.

01:11:18Believe me or don't,

01:11:20you're cool.

01:11:20If I lose money again,

01:11:22I'm done with trading.

01:11:23Forever.

01:11:25Time to test my power.

01:11:26Can it call

01:11:27which goods rise

01:11:28and which ones fall?

01:11:38Jason,

01:11:38why does Miss Sophia

01:11:39think so high of you?

01:11:40I helped her out

01:11:41of a jam once.

01:11:43What are you doing?

01:11:44You called me your fiancé.

01:11:46That's my fee.

01:11:47Oh.

01:11:48You need to pick up

01:11:49Miss Daphne.

01:11:50She's Miss Grace's

01:11:51younger sister.

01:11:52Had a falling out

01:11:52with the family

01:11:53so she won't go home.

01:11:54Miss Grace wants you

01:11:55to bring her back

01:11:55from the academy.

01:11:56Got it.

01:11:57I'll head there now.

01:11:59You're walking.

01:12:00Not taking a carriage.

01:12:01It's not far.

01:12:02I'll walk.

01:12:05Chris said this crest

01:12:06means absolute power.

01:12:08No one in the city

01:12:09dares cross it.

01:12:10Wonder if that's true.

01:12:16So you're my sister's

01:12:18fiancé, Jason.

01:12:19Nothing special.

01:12:21Nothing special.

01:12:21Just ordinary.

01:12:24Hi.

01:12:25I'm Zira.

01:12:27I'm warning you.

01:12:28Don't even think

01:12:29about my best friend.

01:12:30She's the prettiest girl

01:12:32in school

01:12:32and she's never dated anyone.

01:12:34Grace told me

01:12:35to take you home.

01:12:35Let's go.

01:12:36No way I'm going home.

01:12:37There's a gala tonight.

01:12:38Tag along if you want.

01:12:39Sis says you're loaded

01:12:40so you can pick up the tab.

01:12:55Daphne, the banquet's ready.

01:12:56We can head over.

01:12:57And who's this?

01:12:58This is Jason,

01:13:00my sister's fiancé.

01:13:02Charmed.

01:13:02So where's your carriage parked?

01:13:04I walked.

01:13:06You didn't bring a carriage.

01:13:08You expect us to walk

01:13:08to the banquet?

01:13:09Can't help it.

01:13:10I don't own one.

01:13:11Just a low-born commoner.

01:13:14No wonder I don't recognize him.

01:13:17Grace's fiancé,

01:13:19yet he can't even afford

01:13:20a carriage.

01:13:21Let's be honest.

01:13:22He's nothing but a kept man.

01:13:26Walking's nice, actually.

01:13:27More relaxing than a carriage.

01:13:29Zora?

01:13:30Why are you defending him?

01:13:32Don't tell me you fancy him.

01:13:38Mr. Ward,

01:13:39a friend of his grace

01:13:40heard you're an expert appraiser.

01:13:41He'll pay 30,000 gold coins

01:13:43for a single look.

01:13:44I'll be there shortly.

01:13:46Thanks for coming.

01:13:49Your time's really worth that much?

01:13:51Give or take.

01:13:53Tens of thousands a day.

01:13:54Show off!

01:13:55You're just trying to impress my friend!

01:13:57Zora's never been around nobles.

01:13:58She's easy to fool.

01:14:01Tens of thousands a day,

01:14:02yet no carriage.

01:14:03What a joke.

01:14:04Zora, ride with me to the banquet.

01:14:06Talks like he's rich.

01:14:07I've got nothing to show for it.

01:14:09Jason,

01:14:10if you don't mind,

01:14:11you could squeeze in with us.

01:14:20This entire tavern is mine.

01:14:22Tonight's banquet hall,

01:14:23also mine.

01:14:28Master Charles, welcome!

01:14:30Your private banquet hall is ready.

01:14:33Everything's arranged exactly as you requested.

01:14:35No one has connections like yours,

01:14:37Master Charles.

01:14:38Even the tavern owner bows to you.

01:14:40Some people are all talk.

01:14:43Not a single real skill to show for it.

01:14:46Sandwiched between the two of us

01:14:47the whole ride.

01:14:48How'd that feel?

01:14:51One side,

01:14:52soft,

01:14:53the other,

01:14:53bony.

01:14:54Night and day.

01:14:56Did you just insult my figure?

01:14:59Jerk!

01:15:07Hey, beauties.

01:15:08Why not stay and have a drink with us?

01:15:15Let go of me, creep.

01:15:19Easy, fellas.

01:15:20These ladies are guests, too.

01:15:23Head upstairs.

01:15:24I'll set you up with some real lookers.

01:15:51Tonight,

01:15:52those three stay.

01:15:54They drink and dance with me.

01:15:56Lord Quincy,

01:15:57this is your territory.

01:15:58Your word is law.

01:16:00Anyone you want,

01:16:02they're yours.

01:16:04Those three.

01:16:05Take them all!

01:16:06You're...

01:16:07Lord Quincy?

01:16:09Duke Sterling's right-hand man!

01:16:11Controls 30% of the city's supply.

01:16:14Lord Quincy!

01:16:16He's untouchable.

01:16:17If we cross him,

01:16:19we're done for.

01:16:20So you know who I am?

01:16:22Then you know what happens

01:16:24when you defy me.

01:16:32Oh, she's gorgeous.

01:16:34She'd be perfect company for you.

01:16:36That's right.

01:16:37She's never had a boyfriend.

01:16:38She won't disappoint.

01:16:40What do you think she'll do?

01:16:42How could you do this?

01:16:44Zora's my best friend.

01:16:45You can't just hand her over.

01:16:47If you don't like it,

01:16:49you can go yourself.

01:16:50We're just protecting ourselves.

01:16:52Sacrifice one to save the rest.

01:16:54I'll give her 500 gold coins after.

01:16:56That's more than fair.

01:16:58Nosey one, aren't you?

01:16:59Fine, you're coming too.

01:17:00Take them all.

01:17:02I'll go with you.

01:17:03But you have to let my friends go.

01:17:05Deal.

01:17:11You're not taking anyone today!

01:17:20You scumbag!

01:17:20Do you know who I am, punk?

01:17:23Get him!

01:17:24Kill him!

01:17:25Nobody's getting out of here today!

01:17:36You're insane!

01:17:37If you want to die,

01:17:38don't drag us down with you!

01:17:39That's Lord Quincy!

01:17:41The just-trusted man!

01:17:42You're dead!

01:17:43All you ever do is show off.

01:17:45Now you've deemed us all.

01:17:47I'm sorry.

01:17:49This is my fault.

01:17:50Second in command of Duke Chris's merchant guild, Quincy.

01:17:54Am I wrong?

01:17:54Since you know who I am,

01:17:56I'll take a finger as punishment.

01:18:04Recognize this crest?

01:18:05Just a cheap metal badge!

01:18:07You think that scares us?

01:18:12You're-

01:18:13You're Jason?

01:18:14His Grace's honored guest?

01:18:16Mr. Ward?

01:18:17Seems the Duke was right.

01:18:18This crest really does let you own the place.

01:18:21Mr. Ward,

01:18:21you saved his Grace's life!

01:18:23That makes you my honored guest!

01:18:24Who is Jason, really?

01:18:26Even Lord Quincy bows to him!

01:18:27Grace was right about him.

01:18:29Jason's real identity.

01:18:30Far more powerful than he lets on.

01:18:32We've mocked him so many times.

01:18:34Will he use this to get back at us?

01:18:36Quincy.

01:18:37Duke Chris told me the guild's code.

01:18:39Never prey on the weak and kind.

01:18:41Yet you're forcing three girls to entertain your men.

01:18:43You know damn well what happens after the drinks.

01:18:45Maybe I should ask the Duke.

01:18:47Was saving his life worth it after all?

01:18:53Rest assured, my lord.

01:18:54I'll answer for today.

01:18:57Mr. Ward, I was blind to right and wrong.

01:18:59I bullied the innocent.

01:19:00I've shamed his Grace's teaching.

01:19:02Mr. Ward, this hand is done.

01:19:04I offer it as my penance.

01:19:06Is that enough?

01:19:06Get up.

01:19:07Take your men and leave.

01:19:09Report to the Duke for your punishment.

01:19:10Thank you, my lord.

01:19:14Mr. Ward, I was blind and foolish.

01:19:16You're the bigger man.

01:19:17Please don't hold it against us.

01:19:18Please, Mr. Ward.

01:19:20Forgive us.

01:19:21Remind me.

01:19:22Who said I have nothing?

01:19:24Who called me useless?

01:19:25I was wrong!

01:19:26I'll never speak out of turn again.

01:19:28Please don't let his Grace punish us!

01:19:30You're not worth his Grace's attention.

01:19:36What?

01:19:37Zora dies tonight?

01:19:39No, a life's at stake.

01:19:40I can't ignore this.

01:19:42Oh, wow.

01:19:43You were so cool.

01:19:45Walk me home tonight, please.

01:19:51I'm taking her home.

01:19:52I can get back on my own.

01:19:54Don't trouble yourself.

01:19:55Do as I say.

01:19:56Come with me.

01:19:57You're really taking her home?

01:19:59Are you an animal?

01:20:00Zora's never even dated anyone.

01:20:02You're gonna ruin her?

01:20:03You're my sister's husband!

01:20:09I'm home.

01:20:10Thank you for walking me back.

01:20:12Would you like to come in?

01:20:15What's going on?

01:20:16The dangers still haven't passed.

01:20:17Wait.

01:20:18It's not the road.

01:20:19It's her home.

01:20:20You owe us money.

01:20:22What are you paying up, Zora?

01:20:23Zora!

01:20:25Who are you people?

01:20:26They're loanharses.

01:20:28Illegal ones from the city.

01:20:30We gave you an extra month.

01:20:32Can't pay today?

01:20:33Then we're taking you instead.

01:20:35Threatening a woman.

01:20:37You deal with me.

01:20:38Boss, this guy doesn't look like a pusover.

01:20:40We shouldn't mess with him.

01:20:43A debt's a debt.

01:20:44We're not making trouble.

01:20:45Ask her yourself if it's real.

01:20:46My father was a gambling addict.

01:20:48They trapped him into signing a loan.

01:20:51The interest kept compounding.

01:20:52I can't possibly pay it back.

01:20:53How much?

01:20:5410,000 gold coins.

01:20:56Black and white right here in the contract.

01:20:58The original loan was 2,000.

01:21:00How'd it become 10,000?

01:21:02Loans come with interest.

01:21:04That's how it works.

01:21:05No money.

01:21:06She spends one night with us.

01:21:08Consider the interest paid.

01:21:13I'll pay her debt.

01:21:15Jason, no.

01:21:16I can't take your money.

01:21:18This note's worth 10,000 gold coins.

01:21:20Cash it at any bank.

01:21:22Her debt is cleared.

01:21:23You better not be playing us with a fake note.

01:21:25The bank's right at the end of the street.

01:21:27Go verify it yourself.

01:21:29Fair enough.

01:21:30But if you're lying, you're dead.

01:21:32Give me the contract.

01:21:35Oh, I get it.

01:21:36Keep the contract so she'll do anything you want.

01:21:39Smart man.

01:21:46Now I get it.

01:21:47If I hadn't walked Zora home tonight, these thugs would have taken her.
