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