00:00:00The show doesn't start for another hour.
00:00:02Rory's going to be so surprised to see me.
00:00:04He'll be thrilled to hear that I'm choosing him as my fiancé tomorrow.
00:00:15I thought you were going to that fiancé selection ceremony tomorrow?
00:00:18Getting engaged to the eldest Carter daughter?
00:00:20How do you still have time to fool around with us?
00:00:24I'm only getting married for you girls.
00:00:27Every cent I have, I spend on you.
00:00:30If I don't hurry up and marry a rich Iris for her fat dowry,
00:00:32how else am I supposed to feed you greedy little vixens?
00:00:43I need to tell father right away.
00:00:45I won't marry that horrible man.
00:00:47So what if his father is a count?
00:00:49Father, this is a keepsake left by Bella's mother.
00:00:53Are you sure you want to give it to me?
00:00:54Of course.
00:00:55To me, you are my only daughter.
00:00:57Tomorrow is the fiancé selection ceremony.
00:01:01A generous dowry will help you make a better match.
00:01:04You deserve the world's most precious jewels as your wedding gift.
00:01:08But the Count's son is so smitten by Bella.
00:01:12Who knows?
00:01:13She just might end up as the future Countess.
00:01:16So what?
00:01:18Bella has zero ambition, no talent and no real skills.
00:01:24Do you really think the Count's son is marrying her because he needs someone to scrub his toilets?
00:01:29He'll get tired of her soon enough and toss her aside in no time at all.
00:01:35What a waste.
00:01:36Count Henrik's son has his eyes on her.
00:01:39If she had even half of your brains, she could actually help me bring the Carter family back to the
00:01:46top.
00:01:47My lord, tomorrow, both Alana and Bella will be throwing their bouquets to choose their future husbands.
00:01:55Why don't we let Alana marry into the Count's family instead?
00:01:59But, uh...
00:02:00Don't worry, father.
00:02:01I have a plan to take him away from Bella.
00:02:03We are both daughters of this house, Bella.
00:02:06Why do you get the better life?
00:02:08Your fiancé is mine now.
00:02:10Just wait.
00:02:11I'm going to step all over you.
00:02:14You fought so hard to steal this marriage, Alana, but it's all a lie.
00:02:18Rory is a complete skirt bag.
00:02:20If I could choose, I'd trade all these titles and riches for just a simple, real home.
00:02:26The bouquet toss is my chance.
00:02:29I'll build a home of my own, with my own two hands.
00:02:35Look at that, honey.
00:02:36Every young noble bachelor in the city is here.
00:02:40They all want a piece of the Carter family.
00:02:43You and Alana better look closely before you throw those bouquets.
00:02:47Whoever gets the richest husband is the true hero of this family.
00:02:52My lady, it's time for the bouquet toss.
00:02:59I'm going first, Bella.
00:03:02Of course she is.
00:03:03She already planned this with father.
00:03:06She's going to aim right for my fiancé.
00:03:09Miss Carter!
00:03:10Over here!
00:03:11Throw it to me!
00:03:12Get out of the way!
00:03:13She's picking me!
00:03:20Rory belongs to me.
00:03:21Bella, your fiancé.
00:03:23Your future title as Countess.
00:03:25It's all mine now!
00:03:31Oh my God!
00:03:33You did it!
00:03:34You're actually marrying the future Count!
00:03:37Does that mean I'm going to be the mother of a Countess?
00:03:41And you, Bella, you'll be rotting at the bottom of the trash.
00:03:45Keep celebrating, Alana.
00:03:47You have no idea you just jumped straight into a lion's nest.
00:03:54Yes!
00:03:55Beautifully done!
00:03:57Alana, you really are my best daughter!
00:04:00You've made the Carter name proud today!
00:04:04Thank you, father.
00:04:06I did it for the family.
00:04:08Once I become Lady Henrik, I'll make sure to take care of the Carter estate.
00:04:13Right, sis.
00:04:14I'm genuinely happy for you, Alana.
00:04:16Keep acting like you don't care.
00:04:18I just stole your entire future.
00:04:20Let's see how you look down on me now.
00:04:22Wait.
00:04:23That peasant?
00:04:27Your Majesty!
00:04:28Your Majesty, please wait up!
00:04:33Your Majesty, you are the Emperor.
00:04:36If you go out looking like a complete peasant, the Queen Mother will literally kill me.
00:04:40And she's throwing that huge gala right now just to help you choose your Queen.
00:04:45Enough about the gala.
00:04:47If those gold-digging women weren't so incredibly annoying,
00:04:50I wouldn't have to sneak out like this just to get some peace and quiet.
00:04:54Clothes off!
00:05:02Look at them, son.
00:05:04They are all pure, high-born girls from the best families.
00:05:08Each one is a one-in-a-million rare beauty.
00:05:11Just choose one to be your Queen.
00:05:14How many times do I have to tell you, Mother?
00:05:16I'm not marrying any of them.
00:05:18If all they want is my crown,
00:05:21they can have it.
00:05:26I'm leaving the palace.
00:05:27And I won't take a Queen until I find a woman who loves me for who I truly am.
00:05:31I'm not going back to the palace.
00:05:34Until Mother finally gives up on those ridiculous galas and stops trying to choose a wife for me.
00:05:40Besides, this is the perfect chance to see how the commoners actually live.
00:05:43Hey, Mr. Reddy.
00:05:44Hurry up! Hurry up!
00:05:45The Carter family is tossing bouquets to pick husbands.
00:05:49A bouquet toss?
00:05:50Come on, let's go check it out.
00:05:57Father is only keeping you in this family because you were once engaged to Rory.
00:06:01Well, enjoy your marriage to a filthy, low-born peasant.
00:06:04Let's see how long it takes before this family disowns you and throws you out onto the street.
00:06:11My lord, we're practically royalties now, thanks to Alana.
00:06:16Bella, when you throw your bouquet, you better not pick some loser.
00:06:19Don't embarrass this family.
00:06:21Oh, Mother, don't say that.
00:06:23Bella always has the best luck.
00:06:25How could she embarrass father?
00:06:27In fact, I bet my amazing sister is going to pick the perfect husband today.
00:06:33Bella, Alana already secured our power.
00:06:37Now, your job is to find someone with money.
00:06:40Only then will you be worthy of the Carter name.
00:06:47Power, money, status.
00:06:50It's all just empty noise.
00:06:59I just want someone honest.
00:07:01Someone who will actually treat me right.
00:07:18Well, I guess he's the one.
00:07:28Oh my goodness!
00:07:30How on earth did a magnificent bouquet end up in the hands of a dirty peasant?
00:07:37Bella, you should have looked before you threw it.
00:07:40You picked and chose for so long just to end up with a hobo.
00:07:45How is father supposed to show his face in public now?
00:07:55Useless piece of trash.
00:07:57Out of all these rich nobles, you threw it to a freaking peasant!
00:08:01Are you doing this on purpose just to humiliate me?
00:08:06It's okay sister, don't cry.
00:08:08I mean, sure, he's completely broke and has no power or status to his name.
00:08:15But hey, at least he has a pretty face!
00:08:22But honestly, it's going to be so hard on you.
00:08:25The great Miss Carter, married to a peasant.
00:08:29You're going to live like a stray dog.
00:08:33Hey!
00:08:34Are you guys going through with it or what?
00:08:36The Carter family is supposed to be noble!
00:08:40You're not going to back out now, right?
00:08:46Stop her!
00:08:47Don't let her run away!
00:08:52Your Majesty, why are you holding that thing?
00:08:55Throw it away!
00:08:57Throw it away right now!
00:08:58Relax.
00:08:59Just look at me, Mila.
00:09:00Dressed in these rags, I can guarantee you that absolutely no woman would ever agree to marry me.
00:09:15Bella!
00:09:16Why are you running?
00:09:19You threw the bouquet yourself?
00:09:22Nobody forced you to pick a peasant!
00:09:27You ungrateful brat!
00:09:29Look at the filthy street rat you chose!
00:09:32Even a stray dog wouldn't go near him!
00:09:36If you marry this piece of crap, the Carter family will become the laughingstock of the entire empire!
00:09:42This family only cares about money and status.
00:09:46There's no love here.
00:09:48Not even a little.
00:09:50I've had enough.
00:09:52Honestly, I'd rather marry a beggar than spend another second living like this.
00:09:56I don't care that he has no money.
00:09:58At least he knows the value of hard work.
00:10:00That alone makes him ten times better than any of you nobles who just live off a stupid title!
00:10:06Is she actually defending me?
00:10:09Interesting.
00:10:10In all my life, this is the first time someone has ever stood up for me.
00:10:15Oh, please.
00:10:16Stop acting like a saint, Bella.
00:10:18You despise him just as much as the rest of us do,
00:10:21and you're just putting on ruining a show because you're trying to buy some time.
00:10:25But let me tell you something.
00:10:27Whether you want to marry him or not,
00:10:29I am marrying him!
00:10:39My name is Bella. What's yours?
00:10:42I'm Eric.
00:10:44Wait. Eric? Isn't that the emperor's name?
00:10:50Oh, give me a break!
00:10:52His Majesty Eric is the greatest ruler alive.
00:10:55Half the losers in this city change their names to Eric just to feel important.
00:11:00What a shame, sister.
00:11:02You're marrying Eric the peasant, not Eric the emperor.
00:11:05Wow.
00:11:06Thank God she's an idiot.
00:11:08That was a close one.
00:11:12Today, with all of you as my witness,
00:11:16I, Bella Carter,
00:11:19proudly take Eric to be my husband.
00:11:29Are you really sure about this?
00:11:31You actually want to marry me?
00:11:34Of course I am.
00:11:36Why are you trying to back out?
00:11:37No, of course not.
00:11:38It's just...
00:11:39I have nothing to offer you now.
00:11:41If you marry me, you'll have to live a poor life with me.
00:11:45You'll go hungry.
00:11:46You'll have to endure the cold.
00:11:48You'll suffer through hardships you don't deserve.
00:11:51Are you absolutely sure you want to go through with this?
00:11:55Hey.
00:11:56We're both capable adults, aren't we?
00:11:58We can build a life of our own.
00:12:00As long as we work hard and find honest work, we'll be just fine.
00:12:05He's a filthy hobo, Bella.
00:12:07And you're treating him like he's some kind of prize?
00:12:10You are insane!
00:12:12Think carefully, Bella.
00:12:14Once you walk out that door with that peasant, your entire life is ruined.
00:12:18When I choose a husband,
00:12:20I don't look at his title or his money.
00:12:23I look at his character.
00:12:24Eric is dressed in simple clothing, but I see the person beneath it.
00:12:29He is kind.
00:12:31He is gentle.
00:12:32He has a heart of gold.
00:12:34And in my eyes, that makes him the perfect match.
00:12:38All right, the bouquet toss is over!
00:12:42Everybody get the hell out of here!
00:12:44Move along!
00:12:51Don't say I didn't warn you, sister.
00:12:53Marrying a hobo means you will spend the rest of your life right under my shoe.
00:13:00You should probably worry about yourself first, Alana.
00:13:04Trust me, being Lady Heinrich isn't going to be as fun as you think.
00:13:08You bitch!
00:13:15You!
00:13:22In three days, please come to the Carter Estate and take me as your wife.
00:13:28As you wish, m'lady.
00:13:29I'll be there.
00:13:45Today, Miss Alana Carter is wed.
00:13:48Her dowry includes one box of pure gold jewellery,
00:13:53four Ackland Tuxcapians,
00:13:54and prime storefronts on Main Street.
00:13:57The second daughter of the Carter family gets such a massive dowry,
00:14:01while the eldest daughter gets absolutely nothing.
00:14:03They are both daughters of the Carter family.
00:14:05How can the Baron be this unfair?
00:14:08Are you kidding?
00:14:09The second daughter is marrying the Count's son.
00:14:11The oldest is marrying a literal bregger,
00:14:13and you expect them to receive the same treatment.
00:14:16If you really go through with marrying a peasant sister,
00:14:18you'll be in for a hard life.
00:14:21I honestly wonder if you'll ever get used to it.
00:14:31Lord Henrich has arrived!
00:14:38As expected of Count Henrich's son,
00:14:40look at that sheer extravagance.
00:14:42What a grand display!
00:14:43His family is ancient royalty.
00:14:45They have crazy power.
00:14:46The younger Miss Carter is hitting the jackpot.
00:14:48Unlike the eldest.
00:14:50Can you imagine being swept away by a man who has to beg for his next doom?
00:14:56Welcome, Rory.
00:14:57You rode far and long to reach us.
00:14:59You must be exhausted.
00:15:00Here, let's get you inside.
00:15:02Look at this.
00:15:02This has got to be the most expensive wedding gift in the entire city.
00:15:05Rory, you're treating our Elias so well.
00:15:07This is the ultimate honor for the Carter family.
00:15:10Bella!
00:15:10It's almost noon.
00:15:12Where's your wonderful trash bag husband?
00:15:14Did he finally realize how pathetic he looks and ran away?
00:15:24I'm here, Bella.
00:15:25I came to take you home.
00:15:29My lady.
00:15:38Is this guy here to beg for scraps or to actually get married?
00:15:41Look at that cheap-ass outfit.
00:15:43Man.
00:15:44Standing next to Lord Heinrich?
00:15:45This guy is literal garbage.
00:15:49What the hell are you wearing?
00:15:51Look around.
00:15:52Every noble in this room is staring at you.
00:15:53You're humiliating the entire family.
00:15:55It's your wedding day, dude.
00:15:56You couldn't even borrow a decent suit?
00:15:58Sis, you're really okay with this?
00:16:00Not embarrassed at all?
00:16:01Marriage is a lifetime promise, Alana.
00:16:04It's about a real, honest heart.
00:16:06Not some expensive clothes to show off.
00:16:07He's the man I've chosen.
00:16:09A few words from you won't change that.
00:16:11Shut your mouth!
00:16:12Have you not embarrassed me enough today?
00:16:14Why did I ever give birth to a brainless brat like you?
00:16:16Oh, honey, don't ruin your mood over her.
00:16:18The second she steps out of this gate today,
00:16:20she has absolutely nothing to do with the Carter family anymore.
00:16:23Hmph.
00:16:24You're exactly like your dead mother.
00:16:25Weak and useless.
00:16:27You don't even come close to Alana and Karilla.
00:16:30Don't talk about my mother like that.
00:16:33Eric, don't.
00:16:34It's fine.
00:16:35I don't want you getting into trouble because of me.
00:16:37Please.
00:16:39Oh my goodness!
00:16:40Duke Ellert!
00:16:41Having you at my daughter's wedding is the absolute greatest honor of my entire life.
00:16:45What brought your grace here today?
00:16:47Really?
00:16:47Do you even have to ask, dear?
00:16:49His grace is clearly here to honor our future son-in-law, Rory.
00:16:52What the hell?
00:16:53The emperor!
00:16:54Why is his majesty dressed like a peasant in a place like this?
00:16:57Your majesty, I offer my humble respect.
00:17:01What?
00:17:01My hobo husband is actually the emperor?
00:17:09What?
00:17:10His majesty is going undercover for an inspection?
00:17:13Shh.
00:17:16I'm so sorry, sir.
00:17:17I mistook you for someone else.
00:17:19I mean...
00:17:19His majesty, Emperor Eric, sent me to pay my respects.
00:17:22Uh, congratulations, Mr. Carter.
00:17:25Your daughter is truly marrying someone with incredible power and influence today.
00:17:34Did you hear that, darling?
00:17:36Did you hear that?
00:17:37Even Duke Ellert said Rory is an unbelievably powerful figure!
00:17:42Oh, Alana is going to be the queen of this city.
00:17:50Hey, beggar.
00:17:51Don't tell me you walked all the way here today.
00:17:53It's your freaking wedding and you expect the bride to walk through the mud to get to the church.
00:17:58Exactly!
00:17:59He's nothing like my Rory, who brought this beautiful, custom-made luxury carriage.
00:18:08Bella, come on.
00:18:09I'll take you to the church.
00:18:15I'll take you to the church.
00:18:17Eric, do you take Bella to be your wholly ordained wife?
00:18:22To love her, comfort her, and honor her, as long as you both shall live?
00:18:27I do.
00:18:28Bella, do you take Eric to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:18:35I do.
00:18:48This is the place you found for my future queen?
00:18:50Your Highness, didn't you tell me to act like a beggar?
00:18:52A beggar can't live in a mansion.
00:19:02Bella, I'm so sorry. I know this place is a total dump.
00:19:06It must be hard for you to live like this, with me.
00:19:09What are you talking about? Look how big this yard is.
00:19:12Once we give it a good sweep and clean it up, it's gonna be super cozy.
00:19:18From now on, this is our home.
00:19:22Home?
00:19:24Yeah.
00:19:26Wherever you are, that's home to me.
00:19:35She's so kind and pure-hearted.
00:19:37She's a thousand times better than all those noble ladies my mother chose for me.
00:19:46I don't have much to give you right now, Bella.
00:19:48This pendant was left to me by my father before he passed away.
00:19:52It's one of the most precious things I own.
00:19:55And I want you to have it.
00:19:57Eric.
00:19:58This looks so precious.
00:20:01Are you seriously giving this to me?
00:20:07Thank you, Eric.
00:20:08I swear I will protect this with my life.
00:20:12Good heavens.
00:20:14His Majesty gave her the royal family heirloan?
00:20:17He must have fallen hard for her.
00:20:26Wait.
00:20:28There's only one bed?
00:20:33So what?
00:20:34We're husband and wife now.
00:20:36Aren't we supposed to sleep together?
00:20:38It is my first time.
00:20:40Can you... give me a moment?
00:20:42Looks like she hasn't made up her mind yet.
00:20:44Maybe she only married me to escape her difficult family.
00:20:48Fine. I'll give her space.
00:20:49Sure. I'll be right back.
00:21:07Wow. This place looks so different.
00:21:10For a second I thought I walked into the wrong house.
00:21:16You must be tired, darling.
00:21:18You take the bed. I'll sleep on the floor.
00:21:30What kind of wife lets her husband sleep on the floor on their wedding night?
00:21:37I'm sharing the bed.
00:21:39I'm sharing the bed.
00:21:39With my husband.
00:21:49Wow.
00:22:13Oh, you're awake. Breakfast is ready. Come and eat while it's hot.

00:26:20after all it's no surprise she'd have zero taste look at her father she did this on purpose she's
00:26:25trying to insult you and our family status
00:26:32father i can't believe i wasted resources raising a daughter like you
00:26:40my lord officials from the imperial palace are here
00:26:44they said they brought gifts for the eldest miss carter
00:27:03your elgus daughter must be connected with a very high-ranking noble to think the emperor himself
00:27:08ordered me to deliver these gifts to the carter estate your grace surely there must be some
00:27:14mistake everyone in the city knows bella married a street beggar how could she possibly know the
00:27:18emperor ah this must be a reward from the emperor because count henrik has been serving the crown so
00:27:23well of course exactly my father is his majesty's most trusted servant it's not surprising he'd send gifts
00:27:28father please accept them
00:27:33allana really did marry into greatness look at this presentation these gifts even the emperor is
00:27:38paying attention to us now this is a supreme honor for the carter family i shall take my leave now
00:27:47look at the gifts my husband brought sister aren't you even a little ashamed standing here
00:27:51a gift is about the intent behind it i have nothing to be ashamed of
00:27:57i spent so much wealth raising you and you reward me by marrying a hobo and bringing this garbage to
00:28:03mock me the carter family doesn't need an ungrateful wretch like you just because i married eric you feel
00:28:10you have the right to humiliate me like this look at what your sister has brought to this family and
00:28:14look at you marrying a filthy beggar destroying our family's honor honor you only tolerate her endless
00:28:21cruelty because she married into money i have nothing to be ashamed of you insolent brat how dare you
00:28:29speak to your father like that isn't that the truth in your eyes daughters are just tools to trade for
00:28:35money and power looks like i spoiled you too much you spoiled brat
00:28:53this this crest isn't this the royal family crest
00:29:07oh no no no this is a disaster if his majesty finds out his queen was treated like this heads
00:29:13will roll
00:29:14i need to report this to the emperor right now

00:29:25something like this eric gave that to me give it back
00:29:32eric a filthy beggar having a royal piece like this he obviously stole it from somewhere what gives you
00:29:38the right to judge him eric might not have been born into a noble family like yours but that doesn't
00:29:42mean he can't own nice things caring this much about a piece of junk from a literal hobo you really
00:29:47have no color bella you want it back simple you must formally sever all ties with the carter family
00:29:54father i am your daughter too are you really going to let alana treat me like this you insisted on
00:29:58marrying that beggar and brought shame to our name you don't deserve to be a carter
00:30:04i only wanted to spend my life with someone who has a genuine and real heart even if i'll have
00:30:08a simpler
00:30:08life that is a thousand times better than staying in this ice-cold house if that is your decision then
00:30:16thank you father mother from this second onward i bella carter officially sever all ties with the carter family
00:30:23so
00:30:31stop right there did i say you could leave
00:30:37guards go to the kitchen bring out the burning coals and scatter them right here on the ground
00:30:56Your highness! Terrible news! Miss Bella is being bullied at the Cater House!
00:31:03Move out!
00:31:06Let's see who dares touch my queen.
00:31:08Your life was given to you by your parents.
00:31:10If you want to sever ties, you have to pay back that debt first.
00:31:13Since you don't have any money to pay us back,
00:31:15you'll just have to walk through these coals barefoot.
00:31:18Those are burning too hot.
00:31:19No one could walk through that and survive.
00:31:22Well, I guess you don't care about this peasant's garbage after all.
00:31:25Don't drop it!
00:31:27Eric is the only person who has ever been genuinely kind to me.
00:31:30This pendant is his late father's heirloom.
00:31:32He trusted me with it. I have to protect it.
00:31:35I'll walk.
00:31:53I'll walk.
00:31:54Suffering this much just for a piece of metal from a beggar?
00:31:56How incredibly stupid.
00:32:04A dirty hobo wouldn't have anything valuable anyway.
00:32:07This is probably all he owns.
00:32:09It's pathetic what poor people will do for a huge piece of trash.
00:32:14I don't have much to give you right now, Bella.
00:32:16This pendant was left to me by my father before he passed away.
00:32:20It's one of the most precious things I own.
00:32:23And I want you to have it.
00:32:26Eric, this looks so precious.
00:32:29Are you seriously giving this to me?
00:32:35Eric, don't worry.
00:32:38Bella, hold on.
00:32:40I'm coming.
00:32:43I will get it back.
00:32:44I will protect your father's memory.
00:32:54The pendant.
00:32:56Give it back.
00:32:57Now.
00:32:58You want it?
00:32:59Then crawl over here for it.
00:33:00If you crawl over here like a dog, it's yours.
00:33:07This pendant is the only thing my father left me before he passed away.
00:33:11I want you to have it.
00:33:13Thank you, Eric.
00:33:15I swear I will protect this with my life.
00:33:30You really love that disgusting beggar that much, huh?
00:33:33I wonder if I ruin this pretty face of you.
00:33:35Will your beloved husband still want me?
00:33:39You.
00:33:40Why are you looking at me like that?
00:33:41I told you before, sister.
00:33:43Marrying a beggar only has one outcome.
00:33:45And that is being stepped on by everyone!
00:33:47You spend all your energy torturing me.
00:33:50But it won't make your own life any better, Alana.
00:33:54As long as you're miserable, that's enough for me.
00:33:56I want you to live like a gutter rat for the rest of your life
00:33:59while you watch me become the most powerful woman on this planet.
00:34:03The Emperor has arrived!
00:34:11No!
00:34:13No!
00:34:14No!
00:34:15No!
00:34:16No!
00:34:18No!
00:34:21No!
00:34:23No!
00:34:23What's that?
00:34:26No!
00:34:28No!
00:34:30No
00:34:33No!
00:34:39Why!
00:34:40did this. I asked who did this? No one is admitting it? Fine. Arrest everyone here. I don't care what
00:34:56methods you use. Interrogate them until someone speaks. Yes, your majesty!
00:35:25You're finally awake. Where... where am I? Don't worry. We're home. You are safe now. I already had a doctor
00:35:35treat your wounds.
00:35:40She looks like the royal doctors. You'd only see at a grand festival. Her fees must be incredibly expensive.
00:35:45Come over and examine her again.
00:35:51As you command, your highness.
00:35:56Sir. I mean, sir. I have already treated the lady's wounds. Since her fever has subsided, she is no longer
00:36:05in any danger.
00:36:09May I have a word with you outside, sir? Check her body thoroughly. Make sure you haven't missed anything.
00:36:24Speak. What is it?
00:36:27Your majesty, we failed our mission. We were unable to imprison the Carter family. They managed to escape.
00:36:33They harmed the Carter family, my future queen. That is an unforgivable crime. Your failure to capture them is a
00:36:40derelament of duty. Go. And face your punishment.
00:36:45Yes, your majesty.
00:36:47So this is the woman his majesty chose to be our queen. Good heavens. She is the most treasured woman
00:36:54in the world now. I cannot afford to make a single mistake.
00:37:02What's wrong? Is there an issue? Your pulse. It's strong and vibrant. Congratulations, Melody. You are pregnant.
00:37:15The emperor's lineage has always struggled to conceive. His majesty is the only child of his generation. The child in
00:37:23her whim is highly likely to be the emperor's sole heir. This baby will inherit the empire.
00:37:33Is she doing all right? Sir, congratulations. She is pres... Madam. Please. I need to speak with my husband in
00:37:45private. Could you leave us for a moment?
00:37:57Are you okay?
00:37:58He is the only person in this world who genuinely cares for me. Paying for this top-least doctor must
00:38:04have cost him every single penny of his savings.
00:38:07I can't burden him with any more pressure right now. Everything is perfect. Better than ever. If... I'm just saying
00:38:17if...
00:38:17I were to get pregnant? Would you want our child? Of course. That would be a dream come true. For
00:38:26me. But right now, I can't provide the best conditions for you. Would you really be willing to have a
00:38:35child with me here?
00:38:36Of course. Raising a child is a lifelong commitment. It's not about wealth, Eric. It's about love.
00:38:46I know you will be the best father in the world.
00:38:49I know you will be the best father in the world.
00:38:52Bella is the only woman in this world worthy of being my queen. Just wait a little longer. I will
00:39:00settle everything very soon and take you back to the palace.
00:39:04Yes. Yes. We will be the best parents. Our child will be the happiest kid in the entire world.
00:39:16I need to go out for a bit. Where? I'll go with you. Don't worry. I can handle it myself.
00:39:25Today, I will take back the inheritance my mother left for my child. Don't worry, little one. Mommy will make
00:39:32sure you have a good life.
00:39:42How dare you show your face back here? That beggar husband of yours brought a whole mob and locked us
00:39:51up. It took everything we had just to break out.
00:39:54You are an absolute disgrace to this family. It wasn't enough that you refused to marry a respectable noble like
00:40:03Alana did. Now your beggar husband turns out to be a broke, violent savage.
00:40:10He only did that to protect me from your cruelty.
00:40:16You! Don't waste your breath on her father. She already cut ties with us anyway. You're nothing but a penniless
00:40:23hobo now. While the carters are respectable nobles.
00:40:28Stop crawling back here with your thick skin. What's the matter? Did you and your starving husband run out to
00:40:33food? Did you come back here to beg?
00:40:35I don't want a single penny of your money. I am only here to collect the inheritance my mother left
00:40:40for my child.
00:40:41Your child? You actually got knocked up by that filthy beggar!
00:40:47A pathetic brat born to a street hobo. If I were that thing, I'd rather not be born at all.
00:40:52How can you be so cruel to bring a child into such poverty? Don't you have an ounce of shame?
00:40:58Raising a child takes patience and love. I am certain that a child raised by my husband and me will
00:41:05be a thousand times happier and healthier than any child in the Carter family.
00:41:08Now give me my mother's legacy. In your dreams. Go. Bring out her mother's belongings.
00:41:17What? Alana! That's a massive fortune! How can you just-
00:41:21It's fine, mother. Trust me.
00:41:31Yes. We will be the best parents. Our child will be the happiest kid in the entire world.
00:41:38Eric, I will make sure our baby becomes the happiest, most carefree child in the world.
00:41:52You want it? Then dig it out yourself!
00:41:59Father, I know you've always favored Alja, but I am your flesh and blood too.
00:42:05Are you really going to just sit there and watch me burn to death?
00:42:10Of course.
00:42:12You don't even recognize me as your daughter anymore.
00:42:15Why do I even bother?
00:42:17Well? Do you want this fortune or not?
00:42:21If you don't want it, feel free to walk back empty-handed to that dog-kill you call her home.
00:42:25It doesn't matter if you starve.
00:42:27But oh, that poor, poor bastard in your belly.
00:42:32You really know exactly how to break me, sister.
00:42:35We did grow up together after all.
00:42:38For my child.
00:42:39And for my husband.
00:42:41I will pick them up.
00:42:45Look at these peasants, darling.
00:42:48So utterly classless.
00:42:49Throwing away all dignity for shiny stones.
00:42:52Please.
00:42:59These damn carters.
00:43:01Why on earth did they seal up the old dog hole?
00:43:03Now I have to climb a wall just to get in.
00:43:08Are the carters completely insane?
00:43:11Torching the emperor's woman over and over again.
00:43:13How many lives do they think they have to throw away?
00:43:17No.
00:43:17I have to report this to his majesty right now.
00:43:30Since we have completely cut ties, I will no longer call you father.
00:43:34Baron Carter, I am leaving.
00:43:37Since you've chose this path, never crawl back.
00:43:42Guards! Pin her down!
00:43:49What are you doing?
00:43:52Did you honestly think I'd just let you walk out of here with that money, sister?
00:43:56Don't be naive.
00:43:59Bring me the iron poker.
00:44:12If you dare scratch a single hair on Bella this time, not a single one of you will leave this
00:44:19place alive.
00:44:25You went through all this torture, just for the little bastard in your belly, didn't you?
00:44:31Oh, what touching maternal love!
00:44:34I just can't stand how you always look so calm and pure, no matter how low you sink, as if
00:44:40you're still better than me!
00:44:43Let's see if you can still act high and mighty once your baby is gone.
00:44:48Please! I beg you! Don't touch my child! Please! Please!
00:44:54Louder! Scream louder! I love seeing you broken like this!
00:44:57Your precious relationship with that beggar, your baby, I'm going to take them all away right in front of your
00:45:04eyes!
00:45:06Now, say goodbye to your unborn child!
00:45:13Let's see who dares touch my woman!
00:45:25Insolent fools! How dare you stand in the presence of His Majesty the Emperor!
00:45:30Kneel!
00:45:32The Emperor!
00:45:34The Emperor!
00:45:42Bella, I'm sorry. I'm late.
00:45:47Eric, look. I got my mother's legacy back. We can live a comfortable life now.
00:45:57Why are you kneeling to this filthy beggar, father?!
00:46:02But... but those are the Emperor's Imperial Guards! And that Lord just said he...
00:46:07Him? The Emperor? What a joke!
00:46:10Who knows where he rented these actors just to save his pathetic pride.
00:46:14He probably spent every last penny he had on this stunt.
00:46:18Sister, look at the loser you married.
00:46:20It's one thing to be a coward, but having the audacity to impersonate the Emperor?
00:46:25That's a betting offence!
00:46:27Idiots. You are begging for death.
00:46:35You! What do you think you're doing?!
00:46:39Bella...
00:46:41Let's go.
00:46:48What's wrong, Bella?
00:46:53Don't worry. I'm fine.
00:47:02Who... did this?
00:47:05What?
00:47:08So what if it was me?
00:47:10I was trying to help her.
00:47:13Who knew she'd be stupid enough to grab burning coals?
00:47:16Just for a little bit of money?
00:47:19I don't know what's wrong with her brain.
00:47:22She's just a clumsy...
00:47:24Stupid idiot.
00:47:25Shut up!
00:47:30Hey!
00:47:31I am the son of a Count.
00:47:33What kind of trash do you think you are to come here and yell at us?
00:47:37I'll mock her whenever I want.
00:47:40Who told her to marry a useless piece of garbage like you?
00:47:45I am a future Countess.
00:47:47You people are nothing but ants to me.
00:47:50Even if I decide to beat her to death today,
00:47:53you both should get down on your knees and thank me!
00:47:59Guards!
00:48:00Take this beggar couple down!
00:48:03No!
00:48:04No!
00:48:07No!
00:48:08No!
00:48:14No!
00:48:14Take them down!
00:48:16No!
00:48:20No!
00:48:21How dare you!
00:48:22Do you know who I am?
00:48:23I am a Countess!
00:48:27You filthy beggar!
00:48:30Guards!
00:48:31Kill him!
00:48:33Whoever kills him gets a whole box of gold coins!
00:48:37I swear!
00:48:53You absolute animal!
00:48:55Rory is the heir to a Count!
00:48:57His family shared ancestors with His Majesty the Emperor 300 years ago!
00:49:01If you touch a single hair on him, you'll be an enemy of the entire Henrik family!
00:49:06The Count family.
00:49:07I don't care who they are.
00:49:09Anyone who touches Bella has only one path.
00:49:11Death.
00:49:14Stop acting!
00:49:15If you let me go right now, I might still spare your miserable life.
00:49:18Bella suffered such horrific injuries because of you people.
00:49:21And you think you're leaving here alive?
00:49:23Shove their faces into the fire, Birgit!
00:49:34Stop!
00:49:35The Royal High Court will be here any minute!
00:49:38They will never let you get away with this!
00:49:46Good.
00:49:47At least you have some common sense.
00:49:48My brother is a high-ranking official in the High Court.
00:49:51You messed with the wrong person today!
00:49:52I'd really like to see who in the High Court gave a rodent like you the audacity to be this
00:49:58arrogant.
00:50:01Continue.
00:50:04Alana!
00:50:06You insane bastard!
00:50:08If you want to die, don't drag the Carter family down with you!
00:50:14Stop!
00:50:15This madness at once!
00:50:17Brother!
00:50:19Brother, save me!
00:50:28Are you the one who dared to lay hands on my brother?
00:50:35The Emperor's Imperial Guard.
00:50:38Why on earth are they here?
00:50:41It was me.
00:50:43What of it?
00:50:44This voice.
00:50:45It can't be.
00:50:49Your...
00:50:49Your Majesty!
00:50:51Your Majesty!
00:50:54The Emperor?
00:50:56How could this filthy, wretched beggar possibly be the Emperor?
00:51:01Brother! Don't let this dirty hobo trick you!
00:51:04Look at how raggedy he's dressed.
00:51:06How could he possibly be the supreme ruler of this Empire?
00:51:10Exactly, Lord Peter!
00:51:12It's only natural that you don't recognize the Emperor since you were just newly appointed.
00:51:17This man is a literal street beggar!
00:51:20We've known him for days!
00:51:21That's true.
00:51:23Why would His Majesty the Emperor appear in a place like this, dressed like a peasant?
00:51:28You absolute wretch!
00:51:30Look at the garbage you dragged into this family!
00:51:33Now that you've offended the Henrics!
00:51:36Let's see how you survive this!
00:51:39My Lord!
00:51:41You must bring justice upon us!
00:51:43This filthy burgher and our ungrateful wicked daughter!
00:51:47They tried to murder her own parents in cold blood!
00:51:54Utterly outrageous!
00:51:56Guards!
00:51:56Throw these impostors into the deepest dungeon!
00:51:59Torture them until they talk!
00:52:03Hold on.
00:52:05Hmph.
00:52:07What else do you have to say for yourself?
00:52:09How exactly did someone like you become a royal judge?
00:52:13Funny.
00:52:14I don't recall signing your appointment.
00:52:17A dirty peasant like you thinks he has the right to know?
00:52:21My brother's appointment was personally ordered by the Queen Mother herself.
00:52:25Even the Queen Mother can be deceived.
00:52:28Your family truly possesses remarkable capabilities.
00:52:31I followed your arrangement to approach His Majesty,
00:52:35but the Emperor told me he is already married
00:52:37to the eldest daughter of the Carter family.
00:52:41What?
00:52:42His Majesty even handed down a severe punishment to our entire clan!
00:52:47Because of this!
00:52:51You are telling me...
00:52:52Eric is already married?
00:52:57Prepare the horses!
00:52:59I am going to the Carter Estate immediately!
00:53:06Silence!
00:53:07How dare you show such blatant disrespect to the Queen Mother!
00:53:13Are you tired...
00:53:15...of living?!
00:53:18My Lord, our entire family formerly severed all ties with this woman long ago.
00:53:23Every single word coming out of her mouth has absolutely nothing to do with the Carters!
00:53:27Yes! Yes, my Lord!
00:53:29We have always held the utmost respect for the Imperial Family!
00:53:33Please don't blame us for the nonsense spoken by these two clowns!
00:53:37When the Emperor hands down his wrath, just punish the two of them!
00:53:45Impersonating royalty is a death sentence.
00:53:47My Lord, you must ensure they never leave this place alive.
00:53:51Bella, your husband has committed a capital crime today.
00:53:55Just wait to be dragged to the gallows with him.
00:53:57In this entire world, Eric is the only one who genuinely cares for me.
00:54:02I can't let him get hurt because of me.
00:54:04Absolutely not.
00:54:10I am deeply sorry, sir.
00:54:12My husband didn't mean to show control to offend you. He...
00:54:20Bella!
00:54:24Hold on.
00:54:25I'm taking you to a doctor right now.
00:54:32You think you can run?!
00:54:35Guards! Block them!
00:54:37Anyone who steps in my way dies.
00:54:40Yes, your majesty!
00:54:42Oh.
00:54:48You want to leave? Not a chance.
00:55:10Eric! Eric! Look at me!
00:55:14Why are you so monstrous? Eric has never done anything to you! Why do you keep trying to destroy him?!
00:55:22Why?
00:55:23Because you love him, sister!
00:55:26Anything you care about, I am going to tear it to shreds, right in front of your face!
00:55:32You!
00:55:36No!
00:55:37No!
00:55:39Stop looking around.
00:55:41Your little actors are a bit too busy to save you today.
00:55:46Neither of you is walking out of this courtyard alive.
00:55:50If you want to hurt him, you'll have to kill me first!
00:55:53Run, Eric! While they're distracted, please just run!
00:55:56I am not leaving you.
00:55:58Run? Where could a rat like him even run to?
00:56:02Alana, I beg you, why won't you just let us go?
00:56:05I have to admit, sister, you've always had disgusting luck.
00:56:09Even marrying a street beggar, you somehow managed to find true love.
00:56:16But unfortunately for you, I am never, ever going to let you live a comfortable life!
00:56:22This is between you and me. Don't drag innocent people into this.
00:56:26Do whatever you want to me. I don't care. Just please, I beg you, let Eric leave.
00:56:37Bella, stop wasting your breath on this garbage.
00:56:40No! I won't let you die because of me! Go!
00:56:46How touching. Still playing the star-crossed lovers at death's door.
00:56:52Fine. I'll send you both to hell together right now!
00:56:57Die!
00:56:57Please!
00:57:01I am so glad I married you, Eric.
00:57:09The Queen Mother has arrived!
00:57:12Stop! Stop!
00:57:14Wait!
00:57:15Stop!
00:57:17Stop!
00:57:19Stop!
00:57:19Stop!
00:57:20Stop!
00:57:28Let's see who dares to lay a single hand on my son!
00:57:42Where is the Royal Doctor?
00:57:46Don't worry. I've treated her wounds. She should be fine now.
00:57:54Where am I? What happened?
00:57:56The Queen saved us.
00:58:01My son, you rejected every suitor I found you, married a random woman, and now you want to make her
00:58:07the Queen?
00:58:08Doesn't matter what anyone says, Bella and I are already married, and I will make her the Queen, no matter
00:58:13what.
00:58:13If you make a random girl the Queen, the court will never shut up about it.
00:58:17The court's opinion means nothing. I will make Bella the Queen.
00:58:21What has gotten into you? You've never loved anyone so much like this. What did this girl do to you?
00:58:28The only thing Bella did was being her honest, kind self. I have never seen a girl who neither seeks
00:58:33fame nor riches.
00:58:35She loves me even when she thinks I'm a beggar with nothing.
00:58:39Bella is unlike any girl who tried to get in my good graces before.
00:58:42She is my one true love!
00:58:44I would have to test Bella.
00:58:46To see if she is worthy as the future Queen.
00:58:49And if she passes, she will receive the courts and my blessing as the Queen.
00:58:56However...
00:58:58She will not know your true identity as the Emperor.
00:59:01If she learns that you are the Emperor, her test will automatically fail.
00:59:05The Queen was passing by and she saved us.
00:59:07Oh, the Emperor's mother? That's great! She's so merciful!
00:59:13What happened to my family?
00:59:20Bow in front of the Emperor!
00:59:23You berated my wife Bella, looked down on her, and made her crawl on burning coal!
00:59:29So what? She has always been ungrateful to us, the people who raised her.
00:59:34If she won't even give us anything after her marriage, it is right as parents to discipline her!
00:59:39You're still not seeing how much you've hurt her.
00:59:40You hurt the Emperor's wife, the future Queen!
00:59:43This filthy beggar is actually the Emperor?!
00:59:46How could Bella marry into a higher place than me again?
00:59:49What does she have that I don't?
00:59:53What are you doing?
00:59:54No one touches my woman and walks away alive.
00:59:56You will pay the price for harming the Queen of this nation.
01:00:00Pain them! 50 strokes each!
01:00:08Ow! No!
01:00:16I heard Duke Rory has the French disease. No wonder he went down so quickly.
01:00:21Rory, you bastard!
01:00:23Guards, take Thomas and Carilla into the dungeons.
01:00:26No! Please, Your Highness, don't throw me into the dungeons!
01:00:29I don't want to be eaten alive by the flies and maggots!
01:00:31No!
01:00:35As for them, Rory will be stripped of his status.
01:00:39He and Alana will be sent to the quarry as miners.
01:00:42No!
01:00:44I dealt with them already. They won't bother you anymore.
01:00:47Oh, okay. Why are we in the palace, though?
01:00:49I found us jobs in the palace. I'll be a guard and you'll be a maid.
01:00:52This is great. Let's work hard and save some money.
01:00:54Okay, my love.
01:00:57I'm so sorry I have to lie to you now, Bella.
01:01:10You're her-
01:01:11Shh!
01:01:17No. Don't call him that.
01:01:19Or reveal his identity as the emperor in front of her right now.
01:01:22Why?
01:01:23He met this girl when he was disguised as a beggar.
01:01:26So he's testing her.
01:01:28Or waiting for a chance to tell her or something.
01:01:30Oh, and this girl, Bella Carter.
01:01:33You better take good care of her.
01:01:35This is the emperor's beloved.
01:01:38She's the most precious woman in the whole world.
01:01:41What?
01:01:42How can a noble and precious woman like her become a maid?
01:01:46No idea.
01:01:47We shouldn't question his highness's decisions.
01:01:51Hello, sir.
01:01:53What brings you here?
01:01:54I was just showing the new maid where the maid quarters are.
01:01:59Good day, ma'am.
01:02:02So you're the new maid?
01:02:03Good day.
01:02:04I won't give her the hard work.
01:02:06I'll do my best to take care of her, sir.
01:02:09Wait.
01:02:10Why won't she give me the hard work?
01:02:12I thought I'm here as a maid.
01:02:14She's treating me like a superior.
01:02:18Maybe she's just a nice person.
01:02:21Oh, yeah.
01:02:22Yeah.
01:02:30Your job today is to dust these statues.
01:02:32I won't let you down, ma'am.
01:02:36She's treating her work seriously.
01:02:39She only got one task today.
01:02:41Why?
01:02:46Hey, newbie.
01:02:47I have no idea how you got in,
01:02:49but Grace only gave you one task,
01:02:51so you must have cheated somehow.
01:02:53So we're going to level the playing field.
01:02:55You're going to do the laundry for us.
01:03:02My necklace!
01:03:04Hey!
01:03:05Grace did give me one task,
01:03:06but it was for dusting the entire palace.
01:03:08The palace is huge, so I think it's fair.
01:03:11Don't care.
01:03:11You're the newbie,
01:03:12so you should do our work for us,
01:03:14no questions asked.
01:03:15Don't make us report to Grace
01:03:17about you slacking off.
01:03:20We're all maids here.
01:03:21Why do you think you get to order me around?
01:03:23And lie about my work?
01:03:25Oh, newbie, don't be like this.
01:03:27You should be grateful that we're even taking the time to train you.
01:03:40What is this cheap-ass thing?
01:03:42Give it back!
01:03:43It's mine!
01:03:45My husband gave it to me!
01:03:48Nobody asked you that.
01:03:56Wait, this looks really well-made.
01:03:59And expensive.
01:04:01How could she have this?
01:04:03Isn't this the Emperor's?
01:04:05How does she have this?
01:04:10This is the Emperor's necklace.
01:04:12How do you have it?
01:04:16You stole this, didn't you?
01:04:18This is mine! Give it back!
01:04:21As if we'd believe your lies about your husband giving you this.
01:04:25You're a filthy thief!
01:04:27I'm telling the truth.
01:04:28Give it back!
01:04:31I've heard enough.
01:04:32Seize her!
01:04:37What are you doing?
01:04:39Don't let her go!
01:04:41We're telling Grace!
01:04:42As soon as Grace learns you stole the Emperor's necklace,
01:04:44you're done for!
01:04:47You'll be put to death!
01:04:53You'll be put to death!
01:04:59Oh my goodness!
01:05:00This is the most expensive crystal statue in the room!
01:05:03Whoever broke it would be put to death if they can't pay for it!
01:05:12You broke it, newbie!
01:05:14Even if you sold yourself, you won't be able to pay the price!
01:05:17I never even went near the statue!
01:05:21Why are you blaming me for what you did?
01:05:28I don't care!
01:05:29I don't deserve any of this, illegitimately!
01:05:32And you definitely got your job, so you have to take the punishment in my place!
01:05:39What is going on here?
01:05:45Are you okay?
01:05:47I'm okay.
01:05:48Do you three have a death wish?
01:05:50Do you have any idea who she is?
01:05:53She's the Emperor!
01:06:00What is going on here?
01:06:04I will be posing as a steward to check on how the maids are working.
01:06:07Do not reveal my identity, as long as I'm in this uniform.
01:06:10Yes, Your Highness.
01:06:12This is the new steward, Miss Connor.
01:06:16What's with the commotion over here?
01:06:17Miss Connor!
01:06:18Bella stole the Emperor's necklace and broke.
01:06:21This priceless crystal statue, you have to punish her!
01:06:23I didn't do any of those!
01:06:24Liar! We were all here! We saw it with our own eyes!
01:06:26If you can't pay for the statue and stole the Emperor's things,
01:06:29you'll be kicked out of the palace straight to jail!
01:06:32The maids broke the statue and pinned it on Bella.
01:06:35Preposterous.
01:06:35I need a chance to fire and punish them.
01:06:38But this is a great chance to isolate and test Belly.
01:06:44I will be administering your punishment.
01:06:48As for the stealing claim, I will investigate this.
01:06:51Give me the necklace first.
01:06:57My son even gave our heirloom necklace to her.
01:07:00He really does love her.
01:07:09What will Bill be my punishment?
01:07:12In this bowl of ashes are some beans.
01:07:15No matter how long it takes you, you have to pick all of it out.
01:07:18She doesn't want to do it.
01:07:19This doesn't look good.
01:07:20Backing out of her punishment so quickly.
01:07:22I'll do it as fast as I can.
01:07:34This feels heavier than a normal bean.
01:07:38A golden bean?
01:07:40Here is a moral dilemma.
01:07:42Will she take the gold for herself?
01:07:43Well, if she does, she fails.
01:07:46Looks like she's failing this test.
01:07:57Bella, what are you doing here?
01:08:00Grace, I finally found you!
01:08:05Mrs. Connor made me pick out beans from the ashes as a punishment.
01:08:09But I think she accidentally left this gold bean in the ashes.
01:08:15Why are you giving it back to me, Bella?
01:08:17Mrs. Connor, this is yours, isn't it? Here.
01:08:26Bella, if you kept this to yourself, you could just use it to pay for the shattered statue.
01:08:31No, Miss Connor. This doesn't belong to me. I found it. I didn't earn this. I won't keep it for
01:08:37myself.
01:08:38Bella is honest and kind. She does have exceptional character.
01:08:52Mother, good day.
01:08:54I'm here to tell you, Bella has passed my first test. She is indeed a kind and honest girl.
01:09:00I knew she'd pass. Then I will make Bella my queen.
01:09:05This is only the first test. I still need to test if Bella actually loves you.
01:09:12That test won't be needed. I'm good at reading people and I'm sure Bella loves me.
01:09:18What if she's pretending?
01:09:19That's impossible. Bella is so pure, sweet and kind. She believes in anything I tell her.
01:09:24That's precisely why I need to test her. If she hasn't even endured hardship in your relationship, how do you
01:09:32know she'd stick with you through thick and thin?
01:09:35You're right. But whatever you decide to throw her away, I know she would pass.
01:09:46Who made her clean the dungeon?
01:09:54Eric! My love, you're here!
01:09:59Bella.
01:10:03Hey, stop kissing me for a sec. I have something I need to ask you.
01:10:10Fine. I can save that kiss for later.
01:10:12That necklace you gave me. Why did the maid say it belongs to the Emperor?
01:10:19My dad protected the old king years ago and he gave my dad the necklace as thanks.
01:10:24Oh, your dad's so brave. That is a fair reward.
01:10:31Bella, I promise. I'll get you out of here soon.
01:10:38Who's there?
01:10:42Eric, you need to leave. The maids aren't allowed to have illicit fairs with the soldiers.
01:10:58Good job on cleaning the dungeon. Now you go prune the bushes in the garden.
01:11:14What are you doing with my blankets?
01:11:16I don't know what ditch you crawled out from, but we have a curfew here.
01:11:21If you can't even observe it, you can't sleep in the maid quarters.
01:11:27Sleeping in the dirt suits you more anyway, isn't that right?
01:11:37No! My baby!
01:11:53What are you doing to her?
01:11:58Your Majesty!
01:12:02Your Majesty, are you...
01:12:07If she learns that you are the Emperor, her test will automatically fail.
01:12:14Er, he's not the Emperor.
01:12:17This guard looks like the Emperor a lot, so I'm taking him to the dungeon to ask him about his
01:12:24ancestry.
01:12:26Is that really why General Miller is following him?
01:12:29Isn't he supposed to be escorting that guard then?
01:12:32Stop chattering! You three, return to your quarters.
01:12:41Bella barely got a slap on the least for smashing that statue.
01:12:45And her stealing was basically forgotten about!
01:12:52Something's fishy here.
01:12:54Bella, were you hurt?
01:12:58I'm okay, Eric.
01:13:05This guard is having an affair with a maid. Arrest him!
01:13:12Come with me, sir.
01:13:14No! It's not his fault!
01:13:16Don't punish him!
01:13:18Take me instead!
01:13:21She really does care about me.
01:13:29No! Come back!
01:13:32No! Come back!
01:13:43No!
01:13:46No!
01:13:47No!
01:13:48No, no!
01:13:58You were having an affair with the Guards, so you will be punished too.
01:14:03He will be tried and sentenced to the dungeons.
01:14:07But if you agree to break up with him, you won't be imprisoned.
01:14:13If she breaks up with him for this, she will be sent away from the palace.
01:14:21So, what do you say, Bella?
01:14:23No matter what happens, I will never leave my husband, Eric.
01:14:27Mrs. Connor, I understand why you'd have rules preventing the maids from having affairs with the guards.
01:14:31But me and Eric are already joined in marriage.
01:14:36We were never trying to cause a fuss.
01:14:39Mrs. Connor, please just release him.
01:14:41I promise we won't get intimate in the palace walls in front of the nobles again.
01:14:46She really is an honest woman.
01:14:48And she is very in love with my son.
01:14:58Eric, I made you some food.
01:15:06Roasted ribs.
01:15:07These are my favourite.
01:15:09How did you know that?
01:15:10Here, be careful.
01:15:12It's still hot.
01:15:13I need to ask the Emperor about our tactics on the northern border.
01:15:20Wait.
01:15:20Why is our future Queen Bella here?
01:15:23I can't let her find out Eric is the Emperor.
01:15:25It's time for the morning rounds.
01:15:26Anyone who isn't a prisoner, get out of the dungeon!
01:15:31Bella dear, you need to leave now, or the guards might punish you.
01:15:35Hey, get out of here, maid.
01:15:37If you won't leave, I'll put you in a cell too.
01:15:43My husband is hungry, and I'm not leaving him on an empty stomach.
01:15:48Do I look like I care?
01:15:50Don't interfere with my work, maid.
01:15:54I'm not afraid of whatever punishment you'll give me.
01:15:57I'm not leaving until Aerith is done with his food.
01:15:59Wow.
01:16:00Bella is being so brave just for His Majesty.
01:16:03She's such a courageous and considerate girl.
01:16:05She loves His Majesty so much.
01:16:09Warden, you're being too hard on her, don't you think?
01:16:12After all, I'm not very talkative on an empty stomach.
01:16:15When will His Majesty tell Bella who he actually is?
01:16:18This test might be important for His Majesty, but it's scary for us.
01:16:22Fine, just be quick.
01:16:24Don't take up more of my time.
01:16:26She does love me.
01:16:28Bella will definitely pass whatever test my mother puts her through.
01:16:33This is amazing, Bella.
01:16:45Miss Connor, good day.
01:16:47Bella, your husband, he suddenly fell ill.
01:16:53He's on the verge of death.
01:16:55What?
01:16:57But he looked fine in the morning.
01:17:00It was a very sudden sickness.
01:17:03But I do know the herbal remedy to his illness.
01:17:06It's nothing too rare, but added up,
01:17:09it costs at least a thousand gold coins.
01:17:15Oh, dear.
01:17:17Bella, you broke the crystal statue earlier,
01:17:20and you were married to him then.
01:17:22He can take the punishment for both of your crimes.
01:17:25If he dies, you'll be free.
01:17:30This is her final test.
01:17:32If she stays with my son through sickness and adversity,
01:17:35she will be worthy as the future queen.
01:17:38I have to save Eric.
01:17:40I need to somehow get the money to buy him medicine.
01:17:53See?
01:17:54I knew it.
01:17:55I saw Bella gather all her valuables this morning.
01:17:57She was trying to escape.
01:18:02Looks like Bella ran away from the slightest bit of adversity.
01:18:06I knew she wouldn't stay with him through thick and thin.
01:18:12My grandma left me this when she died.
01:18:14It's not worth much, but it's definitely enough for the medicine.
01:18:20I need to save Eric.
01:18:25Yes.
01:18:26It was enough for Eric's treatment.
01:18:32What a shame Bella ran away.
01:18:33That ring she had looked expensive.
01:18:35Where the hell could she have got a ring like that?
01:18:37I should have just taken it from her.
01:18:39I shouldn't have called Miss Connor over.
01:18:44Look over there, you two.
01:18:46Look who's back.
01:18:49Bella returned, and she brought medicine.
01:18:52He knew she wasn't trying to leave his majesty behind.
01:18:57I need to tell the Emperor and the Queen.
01:19:01You have a lot of nerve to come back here.
01:19:04Why did you even come back?
01:19:06Did your stupid head somehow forget something?
01:19:09Did you come back to steal our things?
01:19:11Or beg for tables caps, you filthy rat?
01:19:14I have no time for this.
01:19:15Step aside.
01:19:17Let's teach her a lesson.
01:19:18She snuck away this morning with a ring.
01:19:20I bet it's in her package.
01:19:21Let's take it from her.
01:19:24No, I already sold the ring.
01:19:27The package is medicine for my husband.
01:19:29Please don't take it away.
01:19:32That's even more suspicious.
01:19:35Girls, take her package.
01:19:36No!
01:19:39Let go!
01:19:41You dare refuse to let it go?
01:19:45No, not the baby.
01:19:54I got it!
01:19:58This is just some useless herbs.
01:20:00Where's the ring?
01:20:02Did you trade the ring for these worthless herbs?
01:20:05You fucking numbsnall.
01:20:07No!
01:20:08It's okay.
01:20:09It's still usable.
01:20:12No!
01:20:13No!
01:20:13No!
01:20:13No!
01:20:14No!
01:20:15No!
01:20:20We were just trying to destroy the worthless herbs.
01:20:23But since you insist on getting in the way,
01:20:27it doesn't matter if I get hurt.
01:20:30As long as Eric's life-saving medicine is safe.
01:20:33As long as I endure,
01:20:35Eric's life will be saved.
01:20:38Unfortunately,
01:20:39as soon as Bella heard you were sick and dying in the dungeon,
01:20:43she packed up her things and left.
01:20:46It's impossible.
01:20:46That's impossible.
01:20:47Bella won't do something like that.
01:20:52Your Majesty,
01:20:54Bella just returned with the medical herbs the Queen Mother told her to buy.
01:20:57She didn't leave you behind.
01:20:59I knew she went to buy medicine for me.
01:21:02Good.
01:21:03Take me to Bella.
01:21:05I will crown her as the Queen to my son.
01:21:08I'll take you to her.
01:21:14I knew Bella would save me.
01:21:18She loves me as much as I love her.
01:21:21I ruled these lands for years as Queen.
01:21:24I have never seen a woman as kind and pure as Bella.
01:21:28I knew Bella would be amazing for His Majesty.
01:21:33Soldier,
01:21:34what are you doing out of your post?
01:21:35Your Majesty,
01:21:36the maids are kicking and beating Bella up.
01:21:39What?
01:21:40Call all the troops to the garden.
01:21:42I have to save Bella!
01:21:48Why won't she just quit?
01:21:50She isn't even screaming from the pain.
01:21:52She's not fun like this.
01:21:55If she refuses to part with those stupid herbs,
01:21:58then tie them together.
01:22:07What should we do with her?
01:22:10Bella keeps stealing and getting away with breaking the rules.
01:22:14If the head maid and the stewardess refuse to punish you,
01:22:18then we will give you a lesson you deserve.
01:22:21Let's cut off her hands and destroy her face
01:22:24so she won't dare to steal anymore.
01:22:42Say goodbye to your hands and face.
01:22:51Nobody hurts my Queen on my watch.
01:23:04Whatever you are trying to do to her
01:23:06will be given back to you a thousandfold.
01:23:13Emperor Eric and Queen Leela are here.
01:23:17Emperor Eric, Queen Leela.
01:23:19Oh God, why is the Queen and the Emperor here?
01:23:23Who dares to touch my son's wife and the future Queen?
01:23:31I didn't do anything wrong.
01:23:33She told us to do it.
01:23:35These two forced me into this.
01:23:37I never meant to bully the future Queen.
01:23:39Shut up!
01:23:43I would never have done this
01:23:45if I knew Bella was your wife, your Majesty.
01:23:47I was just trying to show the other maids a lesson
01:23:51that they shouldn't break the crystal statues.
01:23:54As my wife and the future Queen,
01:23:57this palace and everything in it belongs to Bella.
01:24:00She can destroy anything as she pleases.
01:24:04Please, your Highness.
01:24:06I've already learned my lesson.
01:24:08I promise I'll serve Bella on my hands and knees from now on.
01:24:12Seize them.
01:24:18Sentence them to the quarry.
01:24:20If they even try to come back to the palace,
01:24:23they will be executed on the spot.
01:24:26No!
01:24:28Bella, my love.
01:24:35Bella, are you okay?
01:24:49She's okay.
01:24:51She was just a bit weak from her pregnancy,
01:24:53so she fainted from the shock.
01:24:57Pregnant?
01:24:59Oh, Bella.
01:25:01You are dismissed now.
01:25:03Leave us alone.
01:25:06I'm sorry I didn't tell you about our baby.
01:25:09Are you really the Emperor?
01:25:11Yes.
01:25:12I'm sorry for not telling you.
01:25:14If I told you, you would never have been hurt.
01:25:16This is my fault.
01:25:17I didn't trust you, so I gave you a test.
01:25:20I'm sorry.
01:25:23I do not expect you to forgive me,
01:25:24but I have never properly proposed to you before our marriage.
01:25:27I want to make it up to you.
01:25:30Bella,
01:25:32will you make me the happiest man in the world
01:25:34and marry me?
01:25:41Yes.
01:25:42You didn't tell me that you were the Emperor,
01:25:45but I didn't tell you about the baby,
01:25:47so we're even.
01:25:51I love you, Eric.
01:25:53Let's get married!
01:25:56Let's get married!
01:26:19On this blessed day,
01:26:21I crown you Bella Alexander
01:26:23to be the queen of this kingdom.
01:26:33Eventually, I will never tell you.
01:26:36Welcome to Hollanda.
01:26:39The times of my life.
01:26:39Your child that is now.
01:26:39You should be là-
