📢Notice: Reel Drama Dose is an officially authorized publisher of ReelShort content.
The Dragon Queen's Gambit is worth analyzing because it uses the stolen heir trope to explore something deeper than revenge: the power of patience.
Evelyn isn't a queen who reacts. She's a queen who calculates. When she discovers her baby was swapped, she doesn't confront the betrayers. She doesn't expose them. She plays dead. She waits. She raises her real daughter Ann in the north, shaping her into a ruler who can eventually take back what was stolen.
What makes this series effective is the twenty-year timeline. This isn't a quick revenge. It's a legacy. Evelyn's abdication and exile aren't defeats – they're moves on a chessboard. And when Ann marries the impostor prince, the trap closes with precision. The identity reveal destroys the betrayers. The economic ruin strips their power. And Aurelius – the Millennium Dragon – arrives as the final, devastating piece.
For viewers who appreciate slow-burn revenge, family sagas, and characters who win through intelligence rather than strength, this one delivers.

00:01:37a cliffside waiting to die

00:01:42The two pathetic snakes she rescued all those years ago now are sleeping together in her bed all while she
00:01:49raises our child like a blind moron
00:02:02I bet she's cradling our baby and singing him to sleep as we speak
00:02:08Meanwhile her precious little dragons probably being torn to shreds by some starving beast

00:04:24Just don't blame me when karma comes back to bite you
00:04:38Evelyn
00:04:39What are you doing here?
00:04:40What?
00:04:41Am I not allowed in my own bedroom?
00:04:43Of course you are
00:04:44I thought you'd still be resting
00:04:46Cyril and I were just busy making the bed for you and the young prince
00:04:54Oh my god there he is
00:04:55Let me see him
00:05:01He's adorable isn't he
00:05:10Congratulations Evelyn
00:05:11You've given the empire its heir
00:05:13I'm sure he'll grow up to be a strong man who fills you with pride
00:05:16I'm sure he will too
00:05:17And when my son becomes king
00:05:19I'll give him a gift he'll remember for the rest of his life
00:05:33Evelyn
00:05:33Evelyn
00:05:36What are you doing here?
00:05:39Honey
00:05:39I thought you had a cabinet meeting today
00:05:42I did
00:05:43But I also wanted to celebrate my son's birthday
00:05:46Is that a problem?
00:05:49Yes it is
00:05:52I don't want you here
00:05:53Daddy and Auntie Celia are all I need
00:05:56All I need from you is a trip to Royal Dragon Isle for the three of us
00:06:00But you can't even give me that simple birthday gift
00:06:02You're the worst mommy ever
00:06:09Lucian is that any way to speak to your mother?
00:06:12Don't be so hard on him Cyril
00:06:16Lucian
00:06:16Your mother works day and night to build a powerful empire for you and the people
00:06:21You can't speak to her like that, okay?
00:06:26Kids, right?
00:06:27Always speaking first and thinking later
00:06:31You'll forgive him, won't you?
00:06:36Of course I'll forgive my own son, but
00:06:39Cecilia
00:06:40Shouldn't you be at this afternoon's cabinet meeting?
00:06:44Cecilia just stopped by to deliver the cake
00:06:46Then Lucian begged her to stay and sing happy birthday
00:06:48So I told her she could stay for a bit
00:06:51You too
00:06:59Thank you for keeping my son company on his birthday
00:07:02It's the least I can do for the person who saved my life as a child
00:07:06I'm just grateful your son's so fond of me
00:07:09Lucian is such a wonderful boy
00:07:12Sometimes I feel like we share a kind of inexplicable bond
00:07:18I'd really love to spend more time with him
00:07:23That wouldn't bother you
00:07:25Would it, Evelyn?
00:07:29Why would it?
00:07:30I'm grateful someone can be here for him when I'm preoccupied
00:07:33There's no need to thank me
00:07:35I'm just doing my duty as a loyal subject
00:07:39Lucian, come on
00:07:40Let's cut your cake
00:07:41Aren't you supposed to be busy?
00:07:43Go back to your meeting!
00:07:46And don't forget
00:07:47You promised to send us on a trip to Royal Dragon Island
00:07:57Honey
00:07:58Don't take it to heart
00:07:59He's just worried we'll distract you from your work
00:08:01Just last week
00:08:03He stopped me from calling you
00:08:04Because he wanted you rested for your meeting
00:08:07He really is the most thoughtful boy
00:08:10You must be proud to have raised such a remarkable young prince
00:08:14Very well
00:08:16If it's what Lucian wants
00:08:17I'll return to my meeting
00:08:18And I'll have the staff arrange an exclusive trip to Dragon Isle for the three of you
00:08:22Love you, hon
00:08:24Take care
00:08:33Hey, why don't you go play for a while?
00:08:35Well, Cecilia and I have some grown-up stuff to talk about, okay?
00:08:54Thank God
00:08:55And she finally got the hell out of beer
00:09:04Is that Evelyn's lingerie?
00:09:07And I'm going to wear it in her bed
00:09:08While I fuck her husband
00:09:12And later tonight
00:09:14Her husband's treating me to a candlelit dinner
00:09:16On the ultra-exclusive island she bought us a trip to
00:09:34Good afternoon, Evelyn
00:09:46I made some afternoon tea for you and Lucian
00:09:49I even helped too, honey
00:10:03To Evelyn
00:10:11You know, Evelyn
00:10:13I've been thinking about starting a charity project
00:10:16There are so many people living on the streets these days
00:10:19I'd love to help them the way you once helped us
00:10:22But building shelters would cost a fortune
00:10:24Far more than I could ever afford
00:10:29Everyone knows how generous you are
00:10:31I was hoping maybe you might help fund it
00:10:37Of course
00:10:39You'll get whatever funding you need
00:10:43Wonderful
00:10:43Then it's settled
00:10:44All right, now let's enjoy the food
00:10:55Lucian
00:10:56Your Royal Academy entrance exam is tomorrow, isn't it?
00:11:01Oh
00:11:02Yeah
00:11:04Tomorrow's your big day
00:11:05I wouldn't miss it for the world
00:11:07I just know you'll show everyone what the future king's made of
00:11:11Of course I will
00:11:12Next candidate
00:11:14Lucian
00:11:14Lucian
00:11:15Leaper
00:11:26Show them what you've got, son
00:11:27You've got this, son
00:11:29I mean
00:11:31Prince Lucian
00:11:46No
00:11:48No
00:11:52No
00:12:08Get away from me!
00:12:12That's the dragon prince.
00:12:14What a disgrace.
00:12:14He doesn't have a fraction of his mother's courage.
00:12:16Everyone said the prince was useless.
00:12:19Turns out they were being generous.
00:12:21Lucian Lippat.
00:12:23Failed.
00:12:37Failed.
00:12:38Congratulations.
00:12:39You humiliated yourself in front of the entire kingdom,
00:12:41and somehow you still have an appetite.
00:12:43That pathetic display of yours has turned your mother and me into a laughingstock.
00:12:47After a performance like that,
00:12:48you couldn't even get into the worst school in the whole empire,
00:12:51much less the royal academy.
00:12:52So what?
00:12:53Mother can fix it.
00:12:55She'll donate a few buildings,
00:12:56hand them a pile of gold,
00:12:57and boom, I'm admitted.
00:12:59Problem solved.
00:13:02Your mother's planning to step down early and hand you the entire eastern empire.
00:13:06How do you expect anyone to accept you as king with an attitude like this?
00:13:10Whatever.
00:13:11She'll figure it out for me.
00:13:15Your mother will always stand beside you, Lucian.
00:13:18But you still need to prove yourself.
00:13:21Otherwise, how will you keep control over the cabinet?
00:13:24There's no need to worry.
00:13:25I've made all the necessary arrangements for Lucian.
00:13:30Beginning this summer solstice,
00:13:32he'll work at my side and learn how the cabinet governs the land.
00:13:36After that, he'll continue his training at the royal academy.
00:13:39Once he completes his studies,
00:13:41the entire empire will officially be passed on to him.
00:13:46Evelyn!
00:13:47That's incredible!
00:13:48My God!
00:13:49Lucian couldn't ask for a more devoted mother.
00:13:51Well, now that everything's settled,
00:13:53I'll go see how dinner is coming along.
00:13:57I'll give her a hand.
00:13:59Thanks, mother.
00:14:01I'll let you get back to work.
00:14:02Love you.
00:14:04All this time,
00:14:05and they still think I'm a cluteless fool
00:14:07who never saw any of this coming.
00:14:11And every day,
00:14:12they get more reckless.
00:14:18Are you insane?
00:14:20Your wife's right upstairs.
00:14:21If she sees us,
00:14:22everything we've worked for is over.
00:14:26That oblivious fool won't see a thing.
00:14:28Plus, I put sleeping medicine in her tea,
00:14:30enough to keep her out all night.
00:14:34Once she puts our son on the throne,
00:14:36I'll fuck you right in front of her.
00:14:42They laugh because they think I'm oblivious.
00:14:45But very soon, they'll find out
00:14:47that I've been watching
00:14:48as they dig their own graves.
00:14:56Ever since I sent Lucian to the Royal Academy,
00:14:59Cecilia hasn't set foot in the palace.
00:15:01But that's only because
00:15:02Cyril goes out to see her now.
00:15:04And every time he leaves,
00:15:06he makes sure he looks flawless.
00:15:09Honey,
00:15:09I'm going hunting tonight
00:15:11with a few elders from the Dragon Council.
00:15:13I might be getting home late.
00:15:15That's fine.
00:15:16Enjoy yourself,
00:15:17darling.
00:15:26It's only a matter of time
00:15:28before the games
00:15:29finally begin.
00:15:44Father!
00:15:46Aunt Cecilia!
00:15:47Oh, my God!
00:15:53Lucian,
00:15:54I've missed you so much!
00:15:55Did you miss me too?
00:15:56You?
00:15:58Easy.
00:15:59You look more excited
00:16:00than his own mother.
00:16:01Oh.
00:16:02Oh.
00:16:10Forgive me,
00:16:10Your Majesty.
00:16:11You know how fond I am
00:16:13of Lucian.
00:16:13It's been so long
00:16:14since I've seen him.
00:16:16I simply got carried away.
00:16:17Mother,
00:16:18when are you finally
00:16:19going to hand me the throne?
00:16:20Honey,
00:16:21you see,
00:16:22Lucian is eager
00:16:23to prove himself
00:16:24to the council.
00:16:27The coronation
00:16:28has already been arranged.
00:16:29I'll announce
00:16:30my decision there.
00:16:36Why do you think
00:16:37the Dragon Queen
00:16:37summoned the entire kingdom?
00:16:39I heard
00:16:40the Dragon Prince
00:16:41has returned.
00:16:42Maybe she's finally
00:16:42handing him the Empire.
00:16:44That useless son of hers.
00:16:45He's not fit to lead anyone.
00:16:46He's nothing like Evelyn,
00:16:47not a trace of true
00:16:48dragon spirit in him.
00:16:49It's almost like
00:16:50he's an imposter
00:16:51in his own land.
00:16:51Look!
00:16:53The Queen is here!
00:17:12Thank you all for coming.
00:17:16Effective immediately,
00:17:18I am stepping down
00:17:19as Dragon Queen.
00:17:23As for my land
00:17:24and my authority,
00:17:26I will pass
00:17:27all of it
00:17:27to Lucian Lippert.
00:17:33Lucian will be
00:17:34the next ruler
00:17:35of the Eastern Empire.
00:17:47Thank you,
00:17:48Thank you, Mother.
00:17:55Now kneel
00:17:56before your new king!
00:18:00That's it!
00:18:01Lucian!
00:18:01That's my boy!
00:18:03That's what I'm talking about!
00:18:04Oh my God!
00:18:06Wait,
00:18:07why is she so excited?
00:18:09It's not like
00:18:09there's a son up there.
00:18:16Oh, but he is.
00:18:18Lucian,
00:18:18the new king
00:18:18of the Eastern Empire
00:18:19is my son.
00:18:23Oh, but he is.
00:18:25Lucian,
00:18:26the new king
00:18:26of the Eastern Empire
00:18:27is my son.
00:18:29Oh my God!
00:18:30What is she talking about?
00:18:32Wait,
00:18:33what is the queen's
00:18:34husband doing?
00:18:34He's holding hands
00:18:35with another woman.
00:18:37Oh my God!
00:18:38I know her,
00:18:39that's Cecilia,
00:18:40Evelyn's most trusted
00:18:41handmaiden.
00:18:41Oh!
00:18:43Oh!
00:18:43Oh!
00:18:44Oh!
00:18:47Oh!
00:18:47Oh!
00:18:47Oh!
00:18:49Oh!
00:18:51Oh!
00:18:52Oh!
00:18:57Oh!
00:18:58Now it's time for you
00:19:00to give me back
00:19:00my son
00:19:05and my empire.
00:19:08How could they betray
00:19:09the same woman
00:19:09who once saved their lives?
00:19:11They're monsters!
00:19:11So she slept
00:19:12with the queen's husband
00:19:12and then made the queen
00:19:13raise her bastard child.
00:19:14She waited until the moment
00:19:15Evelyn crowned Lucius
00:19:16to reveal he was hers.
00:19:17She planned it
00:19:18from the beginning.
00:19:19That woman is pure evil.
00:19:21And she doesn't just
00:19:22want her son back.
00:19:23She wants every bit
00:19:24of Evelyn's power.
00:19:28And what exactly
00:19:29are any of you
00:19:29going to do about it?
00:19:32Evelyn,
00:19:34you were a devoted wife
00:19:35to me for more
00:19:35than 20 years
00:19:36and I'm grateful for that,
00:19:38that I never loved you.
00:19:39My heart has always
00:19:40belonged to Cecilia.
00:19:41I only married you
00:19:42because I felt
00:19:42indebted to you.
00:19:43So please,
00:19:44just accept the truth
00:19:45and give Cecilia
00:19:46what rightfully belongs
00:19:47to her.
00:19:49Tell her yourself, Lucian.
00:20:00Mother.
00:20:01Oh, and enjoy hearing
00:20:02that word
00:20:02because it's the last time
00:20:03I'll ever call you that.
00:20:04You spent 21 years
00:20:05giving me whatever I wanted
00:20:06but that doesn't
00:20:07make me your son.
00:20:08You were never my family.
00:20:11You were just some woman
00:20:12who raised me.
00:20:13Look at yourself.
00:20:14Even the boy you raised
00:20:16wants nothing to do with you.
00:20:17Back then,
00:20:18I was stupid enough
00:20:19to mark you as my mate
00:20:20but that ends today.
00:20:22Cecilia is the woman
00:20:23I should have chosen
00:20:23from the start.
00:20:28I, Cyril Theodore,
00:20:30formally reject you,
00:20:31Evelyn Lippett,
00:20:32as my mate.
00:20:35I know you're desperate
00:20:36to hold on to me
00:20:36but you're no use
00:20:37to me anymore, okay?
00:20:38So just hurry up
00:20:39and accept the rejection.
00:20:40My father's chosen mate
00:20:41should be my real mother,
00:20:42not some dumb bitch
00:20:43he never loved.
00:20:44That boy is a monster.
00:20:46Evelyn raised him
00:20:47as her own
00:20:47and gave him
00:20:47the entire empire
00:20:48and this is how
00:20:49he repays her.
00:20:51He's even helping
00:20:52his father reject her
00:20:53in front of the whole kingdom.
00:20:54This is beyond cruel.
00:20:56Don't give them
00:20:57what they want,
00:20:57your majesty.
00:20:58I'll take this
00:20:59straight to the council
00:21:00and have all three
00:21:00of them removed.
00:21:02Fight back,
00:21:03your majesty.
00:21:03We'll stand with you.
00:21:06Enough!
00:21:07All of you,
00:21:07shut your mouths.
00:21:09The royal family's affairs
00:21:10are not to be
00:21:10interfered with.
00:21:13Just accept it,
00:21:14Evelyn.
00:21:15Then I might let you
00:21:16walk out of here
00:21:16with whatever dignity
00:21:17you have left.
00:21:19Fine.
00:21:24I, Evelyn Lippet,
00:21:26accept Cyril Theodore's
00:21:27rejection.
00:21:33What did you do
00:21:34to him, you bitch?
00:21:36I knew you were
00:21:37up to something.
00:21:43No, she didn't do
00:21:44anything.
00:21:45The bond is gone.
00:21:47She's accepted
00:21:48the rejection.
00:21:57I'll admit,
00:21:58you had me worried
00:21:59for a second.
00:22:00I thought
00:22:01the great
00:22:02Evelyn Lippard
00:22:03might have actually
00:22:04had one last trick
00:22:05up her sleeve.
00:22:07But it seems
00:22:08I gave you
00:22:09too much credit.
00:22:11You were my puppet
00:22:13from the very beginning.
00:22:16your son,
00:22:17your husband,
00:22:18your palace,
00:22:19everything you ever
00:22:20had belongs to me
00:22:21now.
00:22:22Now get out
00:22:23before my mood's sour.
00:22:27Why are you
00:22:28in such a hurry?
00:22:31You went to all
00:22:32this trouble
00:22:32to surprise me,
00:22:33right?
00:22:36The least I can do
00:22:37is return the favor.
00:22:42Bring it out.
00:23:13this trouble
00:23:13is back.
00:23:17Your majesty, you haven't slept in ten days.
00:23:20If you keep pushing yourself like this, you won't make it.
00:23:22Please, you have to save my baby.
00:23:27He's the future of the Empire.
00:23:29I've given everything for him.
00:23:42Today, our beloved queen and my beloved wife has given the Empire its future king.
00:23:49Today, a new age begins.
00:24:01There you are, my dear. Come on.
00:24:04Let's go see your father.
00:24:08That fool of a woman didn't realize we switched the babies, did she?
00:24:17Relax.
00:24:18She didn't see a thing.
00:24:36That snooty little bitch.
00:24:38She has no idea the dragon baby she nearly died giving birth to is lying on a cliffside waiting to
00:24:42die.
00:24:45Who would have thought?
00:24:47The two pathetic snakes she rescued all those years ago now are sleeping together in her bed.
00:24:53All while she raises our child like a blind moron.
00:25:07I bet she's cradling our baby and singing him to sleep as we speak.
00:25:13Meanwhile, her precious little dragon's probably being torn to shreds by some starving beast.
00:25:21How much longer do we have to keep pretending with that brainless bitch?
00:25:24She orders me around like a servant while I watch you play the devoted husband.
00:25:28And my own son's gonna have to call her mother.
00:25:31It makes me sick just thinking about it.
00:25:34Be patient, darling.
00:25:35The Eastern Empire won't belong to her forever.
00:25:38Once our son inherits the throne, every last piece of it will be ours.
00:25:43And then we'll drag Evelyn out of this palace and leave her corpse to rot in the mud.
00:25:54No, I won't let them get away with this.
00:26:00My baby!
00:26:01My baby, where are you?
00:26:07That's my baby's scent.
00:26:28My baby, it's okay.
00:26:30Mommy's here now.
00:26:33This forest.
00:26:36This is where I saved Cyril and Cecilia's lives.
00:27:00I brought them back to the dragon palace.
00:27:02Made them my personal attendants.
00:27:05I treated them like family.
00:27:18First you sleep together behind my back, then you switch our children?
00:27:22And now you're planning to bleed me dry.
00:27:24You want me to raise your child?
00:27:26Fine.
00:27:27I'll give you exactly what you want.
00:27:29Just don't blame me when karma comes back to bite you.
00:27:43Evelyn, what are you doing here?
00:27:45What?
00:27:45Am I not allowed in my own bedroom?
00:27:48Of course you are.
00:27:49I thought you'd still be resting.
00:27:51Cyril and I were just busy making the bed for you and the young prince.
00:27:58Oh my god.
00:27:59There he is.
00:28:00Let me see him.
00:28:06He's adorable, isn't he?
00:28:15Congratulations, Evelyn.
00:28:16You've given the empire its heir.
00:28:18I'm sure he'll grow up to be a strong man who fills you with pride.
00:28:21I'm sure he will too.
00:28:22And when my son becomes king, I'll give him a gift he'll remember for the rest of his life.
00:28:37Evelyn.
00:28:41What are you doing here?
00:28:43Honey, I thought you had a cabinet meeting today.
00:28:47I did, but I also wanted to celebrate my son's birthday.
00:28:51Is that a problem?
00:28:54Yes, it is.
00:28:57I don't want you here.
00:28:58Daddy and Auntie Celia are all I need.
00:29:01All I need from you is a trip to Royal Dragon Isle for the three of us.
00:29:04But you can't even give me that simple birthday gift.
00:29:07You're the worst mommy ever!
00:29:13Lucian, is that any way to speak to your mother?
00:29:16Don't be so hard on him, Cyril.
00:29:21Lucian, your mother works day and night to build a powerful empire for you and the people.
00:29:26You can't speak to her like that, okay?
00:29:31Kids, right?
00:29:32Always speaking first and thinking later.
00:29:36You'll forgive him, won't you?
00:29:40Of course I'll forgive my own son, but...
00:29:45Cecilia, shouldn't you be at this afternoon's cabinet meeting?
00:29:48Cecilia just stopped by to deliver the cake.
00:29:51Then Lucian begged her to stay and sing happy birthday.
00:29:53So I told her she could stay for a bit.
00:29:56You too.
00:30:04Thank you for keeping my son company on his birthday.
00:30:07It's the least I can do for the person who saved my life as a child.
00:30:11I'm just grateful your son's so fond of me.
00:30:14Lucian is such a wonderful boy.
00:30:16Sometimes I feel like we share a kind of inexplicable bond.
00:30:23I'd really love to spend more time with him.
00:30:27That wouldn't bother you, would it, Evelyn?
00:30:33Why would it?
00:30:34I'm grateful someone can be here for him when I'm preoccupied.
00:30:38There's no need to thank me.
00:30:39I'm just doing my duty as a loyal subject.
00:30:43Lucian, come on.
00:30:45Let's cut your cake.
00:30:46Aren't you supposed to be busy?
00:30:47Go back to your meeting!
00:30:50And don't forget,
00:30:52you promised to send us on a trip to Royal Dragon Island.
00:31:02Honey, don't take it to heart.
00:31:04He's just worried we'll distract you from your work.
00:31:06Just last week, he stopped me from calling you
00:31:09because he wanted you rested for your meeting.
00:31:12He really is the most thoughtful boy.
00:31:14You must be proud to have raised such a remarkable young prince.
00:31:19Very well.
00:31:20If it's what Lucian wants, I'll return to my meeting.
00:31:23And I'll have the staff arrange an exclusive trip
00:31:25to Dragon Isle for the three of you.
00:31:27Love you, hon.
00:31:28Take care.
00:31:38Hey, why don't you go play for a while?
00:31:40Cecilia and I have some grown-up stuff to talk about, okay?
00:31:59Thank God.
00:32:00She finally got the hell out of here.
00:32:09Is that Evelyn's lingerie?
00:32:11And I'm going to wear it in her bed
00:32:13while I fuck her husband.
00:32:17And later tonight,
00:32:18her husband's treating me to a candlelit dinner
00:32:21on the ultra-exclusive island she bought us a trip to.
00:32:39Good afternoon, Evelyn.
00:32:51I made some afternoon tea for you and Lucian.
00:32:54I even helped too, honey.
00:33:08To Evelyn.
00:33:10To Evelyn.
00:33:16You know, Evelyn,
00:33:17I've been thinking about starting a charity project.
00:33:21There are so many people living on the streets these days.
00:33:24I'd love to help them the way you once helped us,
00:33:26but building shelters would cost a fortune,
00:33:29far more than I could ever afford.
00:33:34Everyone knows how generous you are.
00:33:36I was hoping maybe you might help fund it.
00:33:42Of course.
00:33:43You'll get whatever funding you need.
00:33:47Wonderful.
00:33:48Then it's settled.
00:33:50All right, now let's enjoy the food.
00:34:00Lucian, your Royal Academy entrance exam is tomorrow, isn't it?
00:34:06Oh, yeah.
00:34:08Tomorrow's your big day.
00:34:10I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:34:11I just know you'll show everyone
00:34:13what the future king's made of.
00:34:15Of course I will.
00:34:17Next candidate, Lucian Leeper.
00:34:30Show him what you've got, son.
00:34:32You've got this, son!
00:34:34I mean, Prince Lucian!
00:35:13Get away from me!
00:35:17That's the dragon, Prince.
00:35:18What a disgrace.
00:35:19He doesn't have a fraction of his mother's courage.
00:35:21Everyone said the Prince was useless.
00:35:23Turns out they were being generous.
00:35:26Lucian Leeper.
00:35:27Fail.
00:35:43Congratulations.
00:35:44You humiliated yourself in front of the entire kingdom
00:35:46and somehow you still have an appetite.
00:35:48That pathetic display of yours
00:35:49has turned your mother and me into a laughing stock.
00:35:51After a performance like that,
00:35:53you couldn't even get into the worst school
00:35:54in the whole empire,
00:35:55much less the Royal Academy.
00:35:57So what?
00:35:58Mother can fix it.
00:35:59She'll donate a few buildings,
00:36:01hand them a pile of gold,
00:36:02and boom, I'm admitted.
00:36:03Problem solved.
00:36:06Your mother's planning to step down early
00:36:08and hand you the entire Eastern Empire.
00:36:11How do you expect anyone to accept you as king
00:36:13with an attitude like this?
00:36:14Whatever.
00:36:15She'll figure it out for me.
00:36:20Your mother will always stand beside you, Lucian.
00:36:23But you still need to prove yourself.
00:36:26Otherwise, how will you keep control over the cabinet?
00:36:28There's no need to worry.
00:36:30I've made all the necessary arrangements for Lucian.
00:36:34Beginning this summer solstice,
00:36:36he'll work at my side
00:36:38and learn how the cabinet governs the land.
00:36:40After that, he'll continue his training
00:36:42at the Royal Academy.
00:36:44Once he completes his studies,
00:36:45the entire empire will officially be passed on to him.
00:36:51Evelyn!
00:36:52That's incredible!
00:36:53My God, Lucian couldn't ask for a more devoted mother.
00:36:56Well, now that everything's settled,
00:36:57I'll go see how dinner is coming along.
00:37:01I'll give her a hand.
00:37:04Thanks, mother!
00:37:06I'll let you get back to work.
00:37:07Love ya.
00:37:09All this time,
00:37:09and they still think I'm a cluteless fool
00:37:11who never saw any of this coming.
00:37:15And every day,
00:37:17they get more reckless.
00:37:23Are you insane?
00:37:24Your wife's right upstairs.
00:37:25If she sees us,
00:37:26everything we've worked for is over.
00:37:30That oblivious fool won't see a thing.
00:37:33Plus, I put sleeping medicine in her tea,
00:37:35enough to keep her out all night.
00:37:38Once she puts our son on the throne,
00:37:40I'll fuck you right in front of her face.
00:37:47They laugh because they think I'm oblivious.
00:37:50But very soon they'll find out
00:37:52that I've been watching as they dig their own graves.
00:38:01Ever since I sent Lucian to the Royal Academy,
00:38:04Cecilia hasn't set foot in the palace.
00:38:06But that's only because Cyril goes out to see her now.
00:38:09And every time he leaves,
00:38:10he makes sure he looks flawless.
00:38:13Honey,
00:38:14I'm going hunting tonight
00:38:16with a few elders from the Dragon Council.
00:38:17I might be getting home late.
00:38:19That's fine.
00:38:21Enjoy yourself, darling.
00:38:30It's only a matter of time
00:38:32before the games finally begin.
00:38:49Father!
00:38:50Aunt Cecilia!
00:38:52Father!
00:38:58Lucian, I've missed you so much!
00:39:00Did you miss me too?
00:39:00You?
00:39:03Easy.
00:39:04You look more excited than his own mother.
00:39:05Oh.
00:39:14Forgive me, your majesty.
00:39:16You know how fond I am of Lucian.
00:39:18It's been so long since I've seen him.
00:39:20I simply got carried away.
00:39:22Mother,
00:39:23when are you finally going to hand me the throne?
00:39:25Honey, you see,
00:39:27Lucian is eager to prove himself to the council.
00:39:31The coronation has already been arranged.
00:39:34I'll announce my decision there.
00:39:41Why do you think the Dragon Queen
00:39:42summoned the entire kingdom?
00:39:44I heard the Dragon Prince has returned.
00:39:46Maybe she's finally handing him the Empire.
00:39:48That useless son of hers.
00:39:50He's not fit to lead anyone.
00:39:51He's nothing like Evelyn,
00:39:52not a trace of true dragon spirit in him.
00:39:54It's almost like he's an imposter in his own land.
00:39:56Look!
00:39:57The Queen is here!
00:40:17Thank you all for coming.
00:40:21Effective immediately,
00:40:22I am stepping down as Dragon Queen.
00:40:26What's this?
00:40:28As for my land and my authority,
00:40:30I will pass all of it
00:40:32to Lucian Lippert.
00:40:38Lucian will be the next ruler
00:40:39of the Eastern Empire.
00:40:41Oh.
00:40:43Oh.
00:40:43Oh.
00:40:44Oh.
00:40:44Oh.
00:40:46Oh.
00:40:48Oh.
00:40:52Thank you, Mother.
00:40:59Now kneel before your new king!
00:41:04That's it!
00:41:05Lucian!
00:41:06That's my boy!
00:41:07That's what I'm talking about!
00:41:11Wait.
00:41:12Why is she so excited?
00:41:13It's not like there's a son up there.
00:41:15Oh.
00:41:18Oh.
00:41:20Oh, but he is.
00:41:22Lucian, the new king of the Eastern Empire,
00:41:24is my son.
00:41:28Oh, but he is.
00:41:30Lucian, the new king of the Eastern Empire,
00:41:32is my son.
00:41:35What is she talking about?
00:41:37Wait.
00:41:37What is the Queen's husband doing?
00:41:39He's holding hands with another woman.
00:41:41Oh.
00:41:42Oh, my God.
00:41:43I know her.
00:41:44That's Cecilia,
00:41:45Evelyn's most trusted handmaiden.
00:41:46Oh.
00:41:54Thank you, Evelyn.
00:41:55Thank you for spending all these years
00:41:57raising my son for me
00:41:58like the foolish dim of you are.
00:42:01But right here,
00:42:02right now,
00:42:03it's time for you to give me back my son.
00:42:09And my empire.
00:42:13How could they betray the same woman
00:42:14who once saved their lives?
00:42:15They're monsters.
00:42:16So she slept with the Queen's husband
00:42:17and then made the Queen raise her bastard child?
00:42:19She waited until the moment
00:42:20Evelyn crowned Lucius
00:42:21to reveal he was hers.
00:42:22She planned it from the beginning.
00:42:24That woman is pure evil.
00:42:25And she doesn't just want her son back.
00:42:27She wants every bit of Evelyn's power.
00:42:33And what exactly are any of you
00:42:34going to do about it?
00:42:37Evelyn,
00:42:38you were a devoted wife to me
00:42:40for more than 20 years
00:42:41and I'm grateful for that.
00:42:42But I never loved you.
00:42:44My heart has always belonged to Cecilia.
00:42:46I only married you
00:42:47because I felt indebted to you.
00:42:48So please,
00:42:49just accept the truth
00:42:50and give Cecilia
00:42:50what rightfully belongs to her.
00:42:53Tell her yourself, Lucian.
00:43:04Mother.
00:43:06Oh, and enjoy hearing that word
00:43:07because it's the last time
00:43:08I'll ever call you that.
00:43:09You spent 21 years
00:43:10giving me whatever I wanted
00:43:11but that doesn't make me your son.
00:43:13You were never my family.
00:43:15You were just some woman
00:43:16who raised me.
00:43:18Look at yourself.
00:43:19Even the boy you raised
00:43:20wants nothing to do with you.
00:43:22Back then,
00:43:23I was stupid enough
00:43:24to mark you as my mate
00:43:25but that ends today.
00:43:27Cecilia is the woman
00:43:27I should have chosen
00:43:28from the start.
00:43:33I, Cyril Theodore,
00:43:35formally reject you,
00:43:36Evelyn Lippet,
00:43:36as my mate.
00:43:39I know you're desperate
00:43:40to hold on to me
00:43:41but you're no use
00:43:42to me anymore, okay?
00:43:43So just hurry up
00:43:44and accept the rejection.
00:43:45My father's chosen mate
00:43:46should be my real mother,
00:43:47not some dumb bitch
00:43:48he never loved.
00:43:49That boy is a monster.
00:43:50Evelyn raised him as her own
00:43:52and gave him the entire empire
00:43:53and this is how he repays her.
00:43:56He's even helping his father
00:43:57reject her in front
00:43:58of the whole kingdom.
00:43:59This is beyond cruel.
00:44:01Don't give them
00:44:01what they want,
00:44:02your majesty.
00:44:03I'll take this straight
00:44:04to the council
00:44:04and have all three
00:44:05of them removed.
00:44:06Fight back,
00:44:07your majesty.
00:44:08We'll stand with you.
00:44:10Enough!
00:44:11All of you,
00:44:12shut your mouths!
00:44:13The royal family's affairs
00:44:14are not to be interfered with!
00:44:18Just accept it, Evelyn.
00:44:20Then I might let you
00:44:21walk out of here
00:44:21with whatever dignity
00:44:22you have left.
00:44:24Fine.
00:44:29I, Evelyn Lippet,
00:44:30accept Cyril Theodore's rejection.
00:44:38What did you do to him,
00:44:39you bitch?
00:44:41I knew you were
00:44:42onto something.
00:44:47No, she didn't do anything.
00:44:50The bond is gone.
00:44:52She's accepted the rejection.
00:45:01I'll admit,
00:45:03you had me worried
00:45:04for a second.
00:45:05I thought
00:45:06the great Evelyn Lippard
00:45:08might have actually had
00:45:09one last trick
00:45:10up her sleeve.
00:45:11But it seems
00:45:13I gave you too much credit.
00:45:16You were my puppet
00:45:17from the very beginning.
00:45:21your son,
00:45:22your husband,
00:45:23your palace,
00:45:24everything you ever had
00:45:25belongs to me now.
00:45:26Now get out
00:45:27before my mood's sour.
00:45:32Why are you in such a hurry?
00:45:35You went to all this trouble
00:45:37to surprise me, right?
00:45:41The least I can do
00:45:42is return the favor.
00:45:47Bring it out.
00:45:58You're killed.
00:46:16Come on.
00:46:22Your majesty, you haven't slept in 10 days.
00:46:25If you keep pushing yourself like this, you won't make it.
00:46:27Please, you have to save my baby.
00:46:31He's the future of the Empire.
00:46:33I've given everything for him.
00:46:47Today, our beloved queen and my beloved wife has given the Empire its future king.
00:46:54Today, a new age begins.
00:47:06There you are, my dear. Come on.
00:47:09Let's go see your father.
00:47:13That fool of a woman didn't realize we switched the babies, did she?
00:47:21Relax.
00:47:23She didn't see a thing.
00:47:40That snooty little bitch.
00:47:42She has no idea the dragon baby she nearly died giving birth to is lying on a cliffside waiting to
00:47:47die.
00:47:50Who would have thought?
00:47:52The two pathetic snakes she rescued all those years ago now are sleeping together in her bed.
00:47:57All while she raises our child like a blind moron.
00:48:12I bet she's cradling our baby and singing him to sleep as we speak.
00:48:18Meanwhile, her precious little dragon's probably being torn to shreds by some starving beast.
00:48:26How much longer do we have to keep pretending with that brainless bitch?
00:48:29She orders me around like a servant while I watch you play the devoted husband.
00:48:33And my own son's gonna have to call her mother.
00:48:36It makes me sick just thinking about it.
00:48:39Be patient, darling.
00:48:40The Eastern Empire won't belong to her forever.
00:48:42Once our son inherits the throne, every last piece of it will be ours.
00:48:47And then we'll drag Evelyn out of this palace and leave her corpse to rot in the mud.
00:48:59No, I won't let them get away with this.
00:49:04My baby!
00:49:06My baby, where are you?
00:49:12That's my baby's scent.
00:49:32My baby, it's okay.
00:49:34Mommy's here now.
00:49:38This forest, this is where I saved Cyril and Cecilia's lives.
00:50:04I brought them back to the dragon palace, made them my personal attendants.
00:50:09I treated them like family.
00:50:22First you sleep together behind my back, then you switch our children?
00:50:26And now you're planning to bleed me dry.
00:50:29You want me to raise your child?
00:50:31Fine.
00:50:32I'll give you exactly what you want.
00:50:34Just don't blame me when karma comes back to bite you.
00:50:48Evelyn, what are you doing here?
00:50:49What?
00:50:50Am I not allowed in my own bedroom?
00:50:52Of course you are.
00:50:53I thought you'd still be resting.
00:50:56Cyril and I were just busy making the bed for you and the young prince.
00:51:03Oh my god, there he is!
00:51:05Let me see him!
00:51:10He's adorable, isn't he?
00:51:19Congratulations, Evelyn.
00:51:21You've given the empire its heir.
00:51:22I'm sure he'll grow up to be a strong man who fills you with pride.
00:51:25I'm sure he will too.
00:51:27And when my son becomes king, I'll give him a gift he'll remember for the rest of his life.
00:51:42Evelyn.
00:51:46What are you doing here?
00:51:48Honey, I thought you had a cabinet meeting today.
00:51:52I did, but I also wanted to celebrate my son's birthday.
00:51:56Is that a problem?
00:51:59Yes, it is!
00:52:01I don't want you here!
00:52:03Daddy and Auntie Celia are all I need.
00:52:06All I need from you is a trip to Royal Dragon Isle for the three of us.
00:52:09But you can't even give me that simple birthday gift!
00:52:11You're the worst mommy ever!
00:52:18Lucian, is that any way to speak to your mother?
00:52:21Don't be so hard on him, Cyril.
00:52:26Lucian, your mother works day and night to build a powerful empire for you and the people.
00:52:31You can't speak to her like that, okay?
00:52:35Kids, right?
00:52:37Always speaking first and thinking later.
00:52:40You'll forgive him, won't you?
00:52:45Of course I'll forgive my own son, but...
00:52:49Cecilia, shouldn't you be at this afternoon's cabinet meeting?
00:52:53Cecilia just stopped by to deliver the cake.
00:52:55Then Lucian begged her to stay and sing happy birthday.
00:52:58So I told her she could stay for a bit.
00:53:01You too.
00:53:09Thank you for keeping my son company on his birthday.
00:53:12It's the least I can do for the person who saved my life as a child.
00:53:15I'm just grateful your son's so fond of me.
00:53:18Lucian is such a wonderful boy.
00:53:21Sometimes I feel like we share a kind of inexplicable bond.
00:53:27I'd really love to spend more time with him.
00:53:32That wouldn't bother you, would it, Evelyn?
00:53:38Why would it?
00:53:39I'm grateful someone can be here for him when I'm preoccupied.
00:53:43There's no need to thank me.
00:53:44I'm just doing my duty as a loyal subject.
00:53:48Lucian, come on.
00:53:49Let's cut your cake.
00:53:51Aren't you supposed to be busy?
00:53:52Go back to your meeting!
00:53:55And don't forget.
00:53:56You promised to send us on a trip to Royal Dragon Island.
00:54:07Honey, don't take it to heart.
00:54:09He's just worried we'll distract you from your work.
00:54:11Just last week, he stopped me from calling you because he wanted you rested for your meeting.
00:54:16He really is the most thoughtful boy.
00:54:19You must be proud to have raised such a remarkable young prince.
00:54:24Very well.
00:54:25If it's what Lucian wants, I'll return to my meeting.
00:54:28And I'll have the staff arrange an exclusive trip to Dragon Isle for the three of you.
00:54:31Love you, hon.
00:54:33Take care.
00:54:43Hey, why don't you go play for a while?
00:54:44Cecily and I have some grown-up stuff to talk about, okay?
00:55:04Thank God.
00:55:04She finally got the hell out of beer.
00:55:14Is that Evelyn's lingerie?
00:55:16And I'm going to wear it in her bed while I fuck her husband.
00:55:21And later tonight, her husband's treating me to a candlelit dinner on the ultra-exclusive island
00:55:27she bought us a trip to.
00:55:44Good afternoon, Evelyn.
00:55:56I made some afternoon tea for you and Lucian.
00:55:59I even helped too, honey.
00:56:12To Evelyn.
00:56:21You know, Evelyn, I've been thinking about starting a charity project.
00:56:25There are so many people living on the streets these days.
00:56:29I'd love to help them the way you once helped us,
00:56:31but building shelters would cost a fortune, far more than I could ever afford.
00:56:38Everyone knows how generous you are.
00:56:41I was hoping, maybe, you might help fund it.
00:56:46Of course.
00:56:48You'll get whatever funding you need.
00:56:52Wonderful.
00:56:53Then it's settled.
00:56:54All right, now let's enjoy the food.
00:57:04Lucian, your Royal Academy entrance exam is tomorrow, isn't it?
00:57:11Oh, yeah.
00:57:13Tomorrow's your big day.
00:57:14I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:57:16I just know you'll show everyone what the future king's made of.
00:57:20Of course I will.
00:57:22Next candidate, Lucian Leeper.
00:57:35Show him what you've got, son.
00:57:37You've got this, son!
00:57:39I mean, Prince Lucian!
00:57:56No!
00:58:03No!
00:58:03No!
00:58:06No!
00:58:18Get away from me
00:58:22That's the dragon prince
00:58:23What a disgrace
00:58:24He doesn't have a fraction
00:58:25Of his mother's courage
00:58:25Everyone said the prince was useless
00:58:28Turns out they were being generous
00:58:30Lucian Lipat
00:58:32Failed
00:58:47Congratulations
00:58:48You humiliated yourself in front of the entire kingdom
00:58:51And somehow you still have an appetite
00:58:52That pathetic display of yours
00:58:54Has turned your mother and me into a laughing stock
00:58:56After a performance like that
00:58:58You couldn't even get into the worst school in the whole empire
00:59:00Much less the royal academy
00:59:01So what?
00:59:03Mother can fix it
00:59:04She'll donate a few buildings
00:59:05Hand them a pile of gold
00:59:07And boom
00:59:07I'm admitted
00:59:08Problem solved
00:59:11Your mother's planning to step down early
00:59:13And hand you the entire eastern empire
00:59:15How do you expect anyone to accept you as king
00:59:17With an attitude like this?
00:59:19Whatever
00:59:20She'll figure it out for me
00:59:25Your mother will always stand beside you, Lucian
00:59:28But you still need to prove yourself
00:59:31Otherwise, how will you keep control over the cabinet?
00:59:33There's no need to worry
00:59:34I've made all the necessary arrangements for Lucian
00:59:39Beginning this summer solstice
00:59:41He'll work at my side and learn how the cabinet governs the land
00:59:44After that, he'll continue his training at the royal academy
00:59:48Once he completes his studies
00:59:50The entire empire will officially be passed on to him
00:59:56Evelyn!
00:59:57That's incredible!
00:59:58My god!
00:59:58Lucian couldn't ask for a more devoted mother
01:00:00Well, now that everything's settled
01:00:02I'll go see how dinner is coming along
01:00:06I'll give her a hand
01:00:09Thanks, mother
01:00:10I'll let you get back to work
01:00:12Love ya
01:00:13All this time
01:00:14And they still think I'm a cluteless fool
01:00:16Who never saw any of this coming
01:00:20And every day
01:00:22They get more reckless
01:00:27Are you insane?
01:00:29Your wife's right upstairs
01:00:30If she sees us, everything we've worked for is over
01:00:35That oblivious fool won't see a thing
01:00:38Plus I put sleeping medicine in her tea
01:00:39Enough to keep her out all night
01:00:43Once she puts our son on the throne
01:00:45I'll fuck you right in front of her
01:00:47They laugh because they think I'm oblivious
01:00:55But very soon they'll find out
01:00:57That I've been watching as they dig their own graves
01:01:05Ever since I sent Lucian to the Royal Academy
01:01:08Cecilia hasn't set foot in the palace
01:01:11But that's only because Cyril goes out to see her now
01:01:13And every time he leaves
01:01:15He makes sure he looks flawless
01:01:18Honey
01:01:19I'm going hunting tonight with a few elders from the Dragon Council
01:01:22I might be getting home late
01:01:23That's fine
01:01:25Enjoy yourself, darling
01:01:35It's only a matter of time
01:01:37Before the games finally begin
01:01:54Father
01:01:55Aunt Cecilia
01:02:02Lucian, I've missed you so much
01:02:04Did you miss me too?
01:02:07Easy
01:02:08You look more excited than his own mother
01:02:19Forgive me, your majesty
01:02:20You know how fond I am of Lucian
01:02:23It's been so long since I've seen him
01:02:25I simply got carried away
01:02:26Mother
01:02:27When are you finally going to hand me the throne?
01:02:30Honey, you see
01:02:32Lucian is eager to prove himself to the council
01:02:36The coronation has already been arranged
01:02:39I'll announce my decision there
01:02:45Why do you think the Dragon Queen summoned the entire kingdom?
01:02:48I heard the Dragon Prince has returned
01:02:50Maybe she's finally handing him the Empire
01:02:53That useless son of hers
01:02:54He's not fit to lead anyone
01:02:55He's nothing like Evelyn
01:02:57Not a trace of true dragon spirit in him
01:02:58It's almost like he's an imposter in his own land
01:03:01Look!
01:03:02The Queen is here!
01:03:22Thank you all for coming
01:03:26Effective immediately
01:03:27I am stepping down as Dragon Queen
01:03:32As for my land and my authority
01:03:34I will pass all of it
01:03:36To Lucian Lippert
01:03:42Lucian will be the next ruler
01:03:44Of the Eastern Empire
01:03:57Thank you, Mother
01:04:04Now kneel before your new king
01:04:09That's it!
01:04:10Lucian!
01:04:11That's my boy!
01:04:12That's what I'm talking about!
01:04:16Wait
01:04:16Why is she so excited?
01:04:18It's not like there's a son up there
01:04:25Oh, but he is
01:04:27Lucian, the new king of the Eastern Empire
01:04:29Is my son
01:04:33Oh, but he is
01:04:34Lucian, the new king of the Eastern Empire
01:04:36Is my son
01:04:40What is she talking about?
01:04:42Wait
01:04:42What is the Queen's husband doing?
01:04:44He's holding hands with another woman
01:04:45Oh my God
01:04:47I know her
01:04:48That's Cecilia
01:04:49Evelyn's most trusted handmaiden
01:04:58Thank you
01:04:59Evelyn
01:05:00Thank you for spending all these years
01:05:02Raising my son for me
01:05:03Like the foolish dim that you are
01:05:05But right here
01:05:06Right now
01:05:08It's time for you to give me back my son
01:05:14And my empire
01:05:17How could they betray the same woman
01:05:19Who once saved their lives?
01:05:20They're monsters
01:05:20So she slept with the Queen's husband
01:05:22And then made the Queen raise her bastard child
01:05:23She waited until the moment
01:05:24Evelyn crowned Lucius
01:05:25To reveal he was hers
01:05:26She planned it from the beginning
01:05:28That woman is pure evil
01:05:30And she doesn't just want her son back
01:05:32She wants every bit of Evelyn's power
01:05:37And what exactly are any of you going to do about it?
01:05:42Evelyn
01:05:43You were a devoted wife to me for more than 20 years
01:05:46And I'm grateful for that
01:05:47But I never loved you
01:05:48My heart has always belonged to Cecilia
01:05:50I only married you because I felt indebted to you
01:05:52So please
01:05:53Just accept the truth
01:05:54And give Cecilia what rightfully belongs to her
01:05:58Tell her yourself, Lucian
01:06:09Mother
01:06:10Oh, and enjoy hearing that word
01:06:12Because it's the last time I'll ever call you that
01:06:13You spent 21 years giving me whatever I wanted
01:06:16But that doesn't make me your son
01:06:18You were never my family
01:06:20You were just some woman who raised me
01:06:22Look at yourself
01:06:24Even the boy you raised wants nothing to do with you
01:06:27Back then
01:06:27I was stupid enough to mark you as my mate
01:06:30But that ends today
01:06:31Cecilia is the woman I should have chosen from the start
01:06:37I
01:06:38Cyril Theodore
01:06:39Formerly reject you
01:06:40Evelyn Lippert
01:06:41As my mate
01:06:44I know you're desperate to hold on to me
01:06:46But you're no use to me anymore, okay?
01:06:48So just hurry up and accept the rejection
01:06:49My father's chosen mate should be my real mother
01:06:51Not some dumb bitch he never loved
01:06:53That boy is a monster
01:06:55Evelyn raised him as her own
01:06:56And gave him the entire empire
01:06:58And this is how he repays her
01:07:00He's even helping his father reject her
01:07:02In front of the whole kingdom
01:07:04This is beyond cruel
01:07:05Don't give them what they want, your majesty
01:07:07I'll take this straight to the council
01:07:09And have all three of them removed
01:07:11Fight back, your majesty
01:07:12We'll stand with you
01:07:15Enough!
01:07:16All of you!
01:07:17Shut your mouths!
01:07:18The royal family's affairs are not to be interfered with
01:07:23Just accept it, Evelyn
01:07:24Then I might let you walk out of here
01:07:26With whatever dignity you have left
01:07:28Fine
01:07:34I, Evelyn Lippert, accept Cyril Theodore's rejection
01:07:43What did you do to him, you bitch?
01:07:46I knew you were up to something
01:07:52No, she didn't do anything
01:07:55The bond is gone
01:07:57She's accepted the rejection
01:08:06I'll admit
01:08:08You had me worried for a second
01:08:09I thought the great Evelyn Lippert
01:08:12Might have actually had one last trick up her sleeve
01:08:16But it seems
01:08:17I gave you too much credit
01:08:21You were my puppet from the very beginning
01:08:25Your son
01:08:26Your husband
01:08:27Your palace
01:08:28Everything you ever had belongs to me now
01:08:31Now get out before my mood sour
01:08:36Why are you in such a hurry?
01:08:40You went to all this trouble to surprise me, right?
01:08:46The least I can do is return the favor
01:08:52Bring it out
01:08:54The least I can do is return the favor
01:08:59The least I can do is return the favor
