00:00:04Finally, I am done. My hands are about to fall off from playing. This core gown weighs at least 10
00:00:08pounds. I'll fall apart if I sit here any longer. P.I.O.
00:00:11Bravo! Bravo!
00:00:13I must say, our dear Julia has grown into a fine young lady, and such lewd skills, she is unmatched
00:00:18in Capital City.
00:00:19I am truly humbled. Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty.
00:00:22Lord Lucas, I recall Julia is of marrying age now. Has a match been made for her?
00:00:27Oh, crap! Why is this so familiar?
00:00:32To answer, Your Majesty, my daughter is still young. She is not yet betrothed.
00:00:36Good. Very good. It seems to me today is a day for double celebrations.
00:00:41Sir Henry, I remember your younger son, Richard Hawthorne, is around the same age as a Lucas girl, and is
00:00:47also unmarried, correct?
00:00:48Indeed, Your Majesty. My son is also not yet married.
00:00:55Who did this? I am not done with you!
00:00:58You never get married in your life!
00:00:59Henry Hawthorne and Henry Lucas are pillars of the state, and these two kids have known each other since childhood.
00:01:03Such a bond is truly hard to come by.
00:01:05Whose bond? Or the blood field?
00:01:07Today, I shall make the call.
00:01:09I decree the marriage of Julia Lucas and Richard Hawthorne to forge a wonderful union.
00:01:19Congratulations! Your Majesty, congratulations, my lord!
00:01:24Young General Hawthorne is truly blessed. Miss Lucas is both beautiful and talented. It truly is a match made in
00:01:29heaven.
00:01:30You're done for.
00:01:32Julia Lucas.
00:01:34Damn, Ira has Richard! How dare he laugh!
00:01:41Mother! I absolutely refuse to marry him!
00:01:45I'd rather cut my hair and become a nun. I'll live in the temple forever, than marry that iron head,
00:01:50Richard.
00:01:51My dear child, have you lost your mind?
00:01:54Hush! The walls have ears!
00:01:55His Majesty granted this marriage at the birthday banquet himself.
00:01:58If word of your refusal gets out, that is defying a royal decree.
00:02:01You'll be beheaded. Do you have a dead wish?
00:02:08Brother! Please help me! You're no better than anyone!
00:02:11Richard has bullied me since we were kids. He took my little red pony and broke my iron bow!
00:02:14Last year, he even moped me in public, saying my handwriting looks like chicken scratch. I absolutely hate him!
00:02:18My... my... our Miss Julia is actually shedding tears.
00:02:21Stop laughing! Please go talk to father and call off this marriage!
00:02:25Call it off! What is going on in that little head of yours?
00:02:27This marriage is granted by the crown. It is not a joke. It is not that I don't want to
00:02:31help you.
00:02:32Hawthorne House only has two sons. If they had an unmarried daughter, I'd do it without a second thought, and
00:02:36jump into that fire pit for you.
00:02:38Too bad. They don't have one.
00:02:41Big brother is already married. Second brother isn't of age yet. Both my older sisters are married too. Out of
00:02:47the whole family.
00:02:48It just had to be me, the unlucky youngest child, caught in this ridiculous matchmaking mess.
00:02:52I shouldn't have played that stupid lute. Why did I have to show off, and just had to catch the
00:02:56queen's eye right then?
00:02:59You are doomed.
00:03:04Root! Jug!
00:03:06Iron Head Richard! Why is my life so miserable?
00:03:13That is a royal decree! Does she want to do my whole family?
00:03:16Master, you know exactly how Julia is! She'd rather break than bend! If anything happens to her, I won't live
00:03:21either!
00:03:21We can't use force! We can't punish her! Go get Lady Anna over here!
00:03:29Julia, my dear little one. Get up and have something to eat. I cooked these myself. I brought you almond
00:03:34cakes and crap-up pastries.
00:03:38This is long! I don't want to marry him! I'd rather die than marry Iron Head Richard! He'll find every
00:03:44way to torment me!
00:03:46All right, all right. You won't marry. Be a good girl. Wet your throat first. Look how pale your face
00:03:50is. It breaks my heart to see you like this.
00:03:51I know you've always had your heart set on Gabriel Goodwin, but His Majesty has made his decision.
00:03:55Our family and the Hawthorns are noble warriors. This marriage binds the honor of both houses, and the dignity of
00:03:59the crown is at stake.
00:04:01Am I just supposed to accept my fate?
00:04:02I can't bear to see you ruin your health. Just think about it. If you actually starve yourself sick, Mom
00:04:07and Dad will be the ones hurting.
00:04:08But what about that young general? He's probably out celebrating right now. Glad his memesis is finally out of the
00:04:11way.
00:04:12Julia finally stabbed herself to death!
00:04:14Be a good girl. Eat a little first. Build up your strength. Whether you have to face him later, or
00:04:18come up with another plan, you need your energy, right?
00:04:20The daughters of the Lucas family have never been pushovers. Marrying him doesn't mean you've lost. We have plenty of
00:04:24time. Who knows who will be tormenting whom?
00:04:30I won't just let him make a joke out of me!
00:04:32Miss Julia is very smart. After a month of training, she already has the grace of a matriarch.
00:04:37You flatter me, Nanny! Since the marriage is set, I must learn to manage a household. I can't bring shame
00:04:42to the Lucas family.
00:04:42My lord, Julia acting like this is even scarier than when she was throwing fits. With her fiery temper, she
00:04:47is just bottling it all up. How much is she hurting inside?
00:04:50I love our daughter, too. But old Henry, we've been through life and death together. This marriage is set in
00:04:54stone.
00:04:55That Hawthorne boy is stubborn, too. With these two rivals together, what if Julia's offers in the future?
00:04:58Old Henry is an honorable man. With him keeping order, the Hawthorne household won't get out of hand.
00:05:01As for those two, we'll just take it one step at a time.
00:05:05Richard's getting married soon, huh? With Miss Julia's temper, your roof won't be safe anymore.
00:05:08I heard Miss Lucas is copying scriptures every day. Richard, do you think she is plotting to put you on
00:05:12an altar on your wedding night?
00:05:14She wouldn't dare. As long as she doesn't wrap the manor, she can do whatever she wants.
00:05:18Hey, Richard. Seriously, if you regret it, I can help you tonight. We can ride out overnight and hide at
00:05:21the frontier.
00:05:22A royal decree is no joke. Besides, when have I, Richard Hawthorne, ever run away like a coward?
00:05:25Ha! Ha! I am just scared! You'll die on your wedding night!
00:05:27Julia's been scarily quiet this month. Even my parents were fooled.
00:05:29This isn't normal at all. She's definitely plotting something.
00:05:32Plotting? That is perfect, so I won't get bored.
00:05:34Then, how do you plan to handle our little tyrant?
00:05:36I'll give her all the respect she deserves. Keep her pampered.
00:05:39If she wants to fight, I am in.
00:05:40The more they expect us to fight, the more I'll be a perfect husband.
00:05:44Miss! Miss! It is so lively over at Hawthorne Manor!
00:05:47I heard it is the young general's capping ceremony! He looks so dashing in his official uniform!
00:05:51I got it. Find someone reliable to hand this to Richard personally.
00:05:54Tell him Miss Julia wishes him a happy 20th, and hopes he accepts this.
00:05:57Miss Julia has sent a gift for Master Richard's 20th birthday!
00:06:02Oh! Richard, you're right! To be sent a gift, open it up and let us see!
00:06:06Bring it up.
00:06:07This knife is quite an elegant piece! Miss Lucas is very thoughtful!
00:06:09A dupe, a 20. A stubborn desire. What does it say?
00:06:12Something about a happy marriage?
00:06:13It is just a simple letter opener. She is very attentive, afraid I wouldn't have a handy weapon for my
00:06:16official paperwork.
00:06:17Miss Julia, I really love this generous gift. Take it to my study, and put it where everyone can see.
00:06:22Richard, you don't look like you got a gift.
00:06:24More like a declaration of war. Not at all. I was just thinking that once she marries in, I'll carry
00:06:27this knife every single day, and flaunt it right in her face.
00:06:30Miles of dowry! Lucas' house of procession hasn't stopped all morning.
00:06:33It is a royal decreed wedding, and Hawthorne House even brought out a full guard of honor. What a grand
00:06:37display.
00:06:37Time to get up, Miss.
00:06:39My dear Miss, wake up! The Matron has been waiting for half an hour.
00:06:44Matron, are you trying to boil me and serve me to the Hawthorns?
00:06:47Nonsense, Miss. This is a new bride's blessing.
00:06:50This thing must weigh ten pounds, right? If Ironhead Richard dares to make me mad, I'll smash his head with
00:06:54his crown.
00:06:54Miss, you can't say things like that.
00:06:56My child, after today, you'll be a Hawthorn. You can't be willful anymore.
00:07:00Put your husband's family first. Respect your in-laws, and get along well with your husband.
00:07:05I understand, Mother. I won't embarrass the Lucas family.
00:07:09Julia, I'll carry you out if you are ever wronged.
00:07:12Lucas' house's doors are always open.
00:07:17Richard Hawthorne, here I come.
00:07:21The groom may kick the door.
00:07:27Julia Lucas can behave, even now.
00:07:33General Hawthorne, your stance is a bit shaky.
00:07:36Just you. Wait.
00:07:38Bow to each other!
00:07:39To the bridal chamber!
00:07:44I am exhausted. All this gold on my head is killing me.
00:07:47Miss, please bear with it. The groom will be here soon. He has to lift the veil himself.
00:07:50He's still not here.
00:07:52You are dismissed. Leave us.
00:07:56Julia Lucas, are you asleep?
00:07:58Damn you! Ironhead Richard, making me wait this long.
00:08:07Are you so thin?
00:08:10Did you drink some bad wine today?
00:08:14Miss Julia, someone as arrogant as you, I can't believe you are sitting here.
00:08:17I was thinking you'd just grab a maid and shove her in the sedan chair, while you rode off on
00:08:20a horse.
00:08:21If I really ran away, wouldn't it be a waste of the letter opener I prepared for the young general
00:08:23that day?
00:08:24Since you are so deeply attached to me, if I didn't come to experience it myself, wouldn't I be letting
00:08:27you down?
00:08:28You are smart. If I wasn't fast enough that day, the letter opener would have drawn blood.
00:08:32Playing the young lady now.
00:08:33Your husband's been thirsty, and my lady won't even pour some water.
00:08:37The young general has perfectly fine limbs. The teapot is just three steps away. Don't you have hands?
00:08:41I wonder who it was the other day, turning Lucas' house upside down, crying, screaming, and threatening to die, even
00:08:46pulling a hunger strike.
00:08:47If his majesty and her majesty hear of this, those who don't know better might think the Hawthorne family abused
00:08:51you right after the wedding.
00:08:52If word gets out about your lack of discipline, your parents won't be able to save face.
00:08:56Richard Hawthorne.
00:09:02Thanks for the treat, my lady. Tastes good.
00:09:04Stop threatening me with my parents. I've been learning etiquette properly these days. I haven't even stepped foot outside. Don't
00:09:09you dare smear my name?
00:09:10Oh, learned your manners. Fine.
00:09:13You just made me mad.
00:09:15Huh. All right, stop pretending.
00:09:18Tea.
00:09:20Huh. You iron-head, Richard. How dare you threaten me?
00:09:23It is just tea. I'll pour it for you.
00:09:33Julia Lucas!
00:09:37Oh my! What is wrong, husband? Is the tea too hard to handle? Too much for you.
00:09:42Good. Very good.
00:09:45Miss Julia, this great gift of yours message received.
00:09:48What? Not enough cake. I still have a whole pot here. Need some more to cool off.
00:09:51All right. Just you wait. I'll go to the magistrate tomorrow and report you for murdering your husband.
00:09:55Wow. The Grand Warden of the North. The tough guy from Hawthorne House. Crying to the magistrate because you can't
00:10:02beat your wife.
00:10:02If word gets out, you'll be the laughing stock.
00:10:06You! You! You! You vicious woman!
00:10:12Oh. My neck is breaking.
00:10:14It has been an exhausting day. Should have just said, you are tired.
00:10:21Here. What are you looking at?
00:10:23It is a ritual ordered by the crown. Drink up so we can sleep on our own sides.
00:10:29I am taking the inside of the bed with two blankets. Good luck trying to get closer.
00:10:33Ah!
00:10:38Let go!
00:10:39Let go. We've already shared the nutshell wide. Is my wife going to leave her husband and sleep alone?
00:10:44Richard Hawthorne! Don't you dare touch me!
00:10:46Julia, you were carried here as my lawful wife. Our marriage was decreed by the crown.
00:10:50Tell me, in this world, why shouldn't a husband touch his wife?
00:10:54I think you are shameless!
00:11:00Looking for this, my dear wife.
00:11:02You! When did you find it?
00:11:05Bringing a weapon to our wedding night.
00:11:06Are you trying to act like a martyr to defend your honor?
00:11:10Or just trying to show your husband to his boss?
00:11:12Too bad. Claiming your honor is now perfectly legal.
00:11:16And my absolute right.
00:11:18So, Finn, why are you so much skinnier than when we fought as kids?
00:11:21You dog! Let me go! Richard!
00:11:30So vicious.
00:11:31Are you part dog, Julia?
00:11:34Julia?
00:11:35Julia?
00:11:38Julia, Lucas, do you think I actually want to touch you?
00:11:42You are just throwing a tantrum, starving yourself to protest.
00:11:45Have you thought of the Lucas family?
00:11:46If you really anger the crown and they punish us, how will your parents and brothers cope, being so unreasonable?
00:11:51Ignoring your family, do you even deserve to be a noble miss?
00:11:55Yeah.
00:11:57What have I really done?
00:11:58Hey!
00:11:59Is your mouth all right?
00:12:01Don't touch me!
00:12:06Julia, don't scare me.
00:12:07Julia, Lucas.
00:12:09This trick really works best.
00:12:10Though I really fainted.
00:12:12Since he's scared now, I'll just play along.
00:12:14I... I am fine.
00:12:17Please don't tell my family.
00:12:19Don't make my parents worry.
00:12:21I beg you.
00:12:23You are worrying about this now.
00:12:24Tell me.
00:12:25Did you eat anything at all today?
00:12:27Where the hell is everyone?
00:12:28Where is the food?
00:12:29Hurry up!
00:12:30Coming!
00:12:31Coming!
00:12:31Right away!
00:12:35I must owe you from a past life.
00:12:39Get up, my lady.
00:12:40Eat something.
00:12:42Just eat first.
00:12:43I promise I won't tell your parents.
00:12:44Okay?
00:12:49Slow down.
00:12:50No one's taking it.
00:12:53You really won't tell my family.
00:12:57Julia.
00:12:58Playing the pity card with me.
00:12:59Oh!
00:13:00Really?
00:13:00You've got nerve.
00:13:02You think I can't see through this?
00:13:04Husband, I am really too exhausted.
00:13:06I just want to rest.
00:13:07Tomorrow morning, we have to serve you to your parents.
00:13:10Julia!
00:13:11You are ruthless.
00:13:18All right, Julia.
00:13:19You've got nerve.
00:13:20Daring to set me up.
00:13:22We have plenty of time.
00:13:23Just wait and see.
00:13:28Do you yield?
00:13:29Ironhead Richard!
00:13:30Little Julia!
00:13:31Just wait until I grow taller!
00:13:32I'll definitely beat you to a pulp!
00:13:33I swear I'll have my revenge!
00:13:35I've long since grown taller.
00:13:36And stronger, too.
00:13:38But this resolve for revenge.
00:13:39How did it change its flavor?
00:13:41Julia.
00:13:42How can this woman sleep so scandalously?
00:13:45Stop it!
00:13:45Spring!
00:13:46Let me sleep a little longer!
00:13:47Damn it!
00:13:48Julia, you really are my ancestor reincarnated!
00:13:53Miss, it is time to get up.
00:13:55It is getting late.
00:13:55We must hurry to serve tea to Lord and Lady Hawthorne.
00:13:57You absolutely cannot be late!
00:13:58Spirf tea!
00:13:59Help me out!
00:14:00Quickly!
00:14:03Oh my!
00:14:04Master Richard usually looks so proper.
00:14:06Why was he in such a rush for this?
00:14:07He actually bit the young lady's lip.
00:14:09I must have bumped it last night.
00:14:12Miss, your clothes are ready.
00:14:13The master left early this morning.
00:14:15No idea where he went.
00:14:17Going missing on our very first day.
00:14:18Ironhead Richard!
00:14:19Just you wait!
00:14:20Greetings!
00:14:21Father and mother-in-law.
00:14:22Wishing you health and longevity.
00:14:23Oh my!
00:14:25Look at those red lips!
00:14:26Rich, it is so hot today.
00:14:28Why button your collar so tight?
00:14:29Well, father, last night there were mosquitoes.
00:14:31I got bitten.
00:14:32Right.
00:14:32That is quite a mosquito.
00:14:33And it bit down pretty hard.
00:14:35Poor Julia, you've suffered.
00:14:37Rich never knows his own strength.
00:14:39Just look at your lip.
00:14:41Mother, we're all family now.
00:14:43If Rich ever treats you poorly,
00:14:45just come and tell me.
00:14:46I'll teach him a lesson for you.
00:14:49Julia, what kind of nonsense were you telling mother?
00:14:52What did I say?
00:14:53I should be asking you.
00:14:54Ironhead Richard,
00:14:54that mosquito bite on your neck is still swollen.
00:14:56Are you a dog or something?
00:14:57Since my husband has such thick skin,
00:14:58if I didn't bite hard,
00:14:59you'd forget the lesson of our wedding night.
00:15:00You!
00:15:01My sweet granddaughter-in-law,
00:15:02come to your grandmother.
00:15:03Only you can handle Rich's stubborn temper.
00:15:05If he ever bullies you,
00:15:06you come right to me.
00:15:07In this manner,
00:15:07I have the final say.
00:15:08And you are second only to me.
00:15:09Understood.
00:15:10Understood, grandmother.
00:15:11Then I won't hold back against that stubborn Richard anymore.
00:15:12Haha, don't hold back at all.
00:15:13I'll take the blame if anything happens.
00:15:16Spring,
00:15:16don't you think the error in this manner is incredibly sweet?
00:15:18Miss,
00:15:19that is because you made Master Richard furious.
00:15:20This is called claiming my territory.
00:15:22Pass down my orders for the whole day today.
00:15:24Wherever Richard Hawthorne is,
00:15:25I will be taking a detour.
00:15:28Away from that Ironhead Richard.
00:15:29Even the muddy smell in the air is gone.
00:15:31It is all the sweet scent of freedom.
00:15:33Oh, Lady Julia is here.
00:15:35Quick, hold the curtain.
00:15:36The Grand Dame was just praying and talking about you.
00:15:38She said without you around,
00:15:39even the music sounds dull.
00:15:42Grandmother,
00:15:43Julia is here to bother you.
00:15:44Your child,
00:15:45how could I be bothered?
00:15:46Come let me look at you.
00:15:47As for Richard,
00:15:48did that rascal bully you last night?
00:15:49Hmm,
00:15:50if he dares to upset you,
00:15:51watch me.
00:15:51Whack him with my cane.
00:15:52Grandmother,
00:15:53he wouldn't dare.
00:15:53He treats me very well.
00:15:54Grand Dame,
00:15:55Lady Julia,
00:15:55Lady Hawthorne said,
00:15:56Miss Crimson Camellia and Moonlit White
00:15:57were just gifted by the palace.
00:15:58She specifically asked Lady Julia to pick first.
00:16:00These are two pressures.
00:16:01Mother-in-law should have them first.
00:16:02Your mother-in-law loves you.
00:16:03Just accept them graciously.
00:16:04Lady Julia,
00:16:05Madam also said,
00:16:06the kitchen made crab pastry and almond tea.
00:16:07They've been delivered to your courtyard.
00:16:11Greetings,
00:16:11Lady Julia,
00:16:12Master,
00:16:12Richard the Young Master is in the study.
00:16:14Did I even ask?
00:16:14Let him soak in the study by himself.
00:16:19Hawthorne Manor is truly peaceful,
00:16:20but Charles is at the frontier,
00:16:21and Eleanor is busy with the house all day.
00:16:23It is so quiet here,
00:16:24I don't even have anyone to bicker with.
00:16:26Back in the camp full of rough men,
00:16:28it was just the two of us anyway.
00:16:31Wait,
00:16:31what am I thinking?
00:16:32Even if he is the only one left,
00:16:34we still have to fight,
00:16:35and I must be the one who wins.
00:16:36The money requested by the third branch
00:16:38just doesn't add up.
00:16:39When Mother ran the house,
00:16:41she'd just drink tea and give orders.
00:16:42So impressive.
00:16:43Now it is my turn,
00:16:44and these expenses
00:16:45are more glaring than targets on a training ground.
00:16:50Spring.
00:16:50Is Air Richard still not back?
00:16:52To answer you, young lady,
00:16:53the Air has been in the study the whole time.
00:16:54He said he was busy with official business.
00:16:55Official business.
00:16:56He has a day off today.
00:16:57What business?
00:16:58Light the lantern.
00:16:59We're going to the study.
00:16:59If I let him stay out all night,
00:17:00the whole house will laugh at me tomorrow.
00:17:02Trying to give me the cold shoulder.
00:17:03No way.
00:17:04Since when did I,
00:17:04Julia Lucas,
00:17:05ever take this line down?
00:17:10Who is it?
00:17:13It is quite late.
00:17:14What brings you here?
00:17:15You are so diligent, husband.
00:17:16So occupied that you forgot the way to our room.
00:17:18Or are you just scared?
00:17:19Scared of getting bitten again
00:17:20by this unreasonable and unfilial shrew?
00:17:24Talking nonsense.
00:17:26Then tell me, husband.
00:17:27What makes this cold chest piece
00:17:28so much more appealing than my warm and cozy bed?
00:17:31I can't be bothered with you.
00:17:33Richard,
00:17:34are you planning to die in this study tonight?
00:17:36None of your business.
00:17:38I am your legally wedded wife.
00:17:39It is our second night of marriage,
00:17:40and my husband sleeps in the study.
00:17:41If work gets out,
00:17:42do you want the capital to see Julia Lucas as a joke?
00:17:43What?
00:17:44Miss Julia cares about her reputation now.
00:17:46You were so fierce last night.
00:17:47Now you care about rumors.
00:17:48Times change.
00:17:48I was wrong last night,
00:17:49but today you are.
00:17:50Fine.
00:17:50You want to stay here.
00:17:51I'll sleep on the floor too.
00:17:52When the maid's coming tomorrow,
00:17:53we'll see who loses more face.
00:17:54Julia,
00:17:55you,
00:17:55what do you want?
00:17:56Go to bed.
00:17:57I am busy with work.
00:17:59You have seven days off.
00:18:00What damn work?
00:18:02Reading tactics.
00:18:03Sunday two or the six teachings.
00:18:05Stuff you could recite at five.
00:18:06And now you are just pretending to review.
00:18:13What are you doing?
00:18:15Have some decency.
00:18:16Read your books tomorrow.
00:18:18Now come with me.
00:18:23Julia,
00:18:24you are unbelievable.
00:18:25You can't outsmart me.
00:18:27Julia,
00:18:28it seems to me you really don't know how to behave.
00:18:30Only know a bet is a bet.
00:18:31You lost.
00:18:32So come back with me.
00:18:33Fine.
00:18:34Since you want to share a room with me so badly,
00:18:36let's get things straight.
00:18:37Julia,
00:18:38we're going to
00:18:38set some ground rules.
00:18:40What tricks are you playing now?
00:18:41First,
00:18:42in public,
00:18:42you are my lawful wife.
00:18:44We must keep up appearances.
00:18:45You better mind the rules.
00:18:47If you act up before the elders,
00:18:48I won't hold back.
00:18:49Is that it?
00:18:50I don't want to lose face either.
00:18:52Second,
00:18:52since we're married,
00:18:54this courtyard is our shared space.
00:18:55But the study and training ground are off limits.
00:18:57You can't just barge in like you did today.
00:18:58Likewise,
00:18:59your bedroom and chambers,
00:19:00I won't enter without your permission.
00:19:02We'll live our own lives.
00:19:03No interfering with each other.
00:19:04Why do you get the study?
00:19:05Third,
00:19:06about last night,
00:19:06since you were so against it,
00:19:07I am not the type to force anything.
00:19:09From today on,
00:19:10we draw a clear line.
00:19:11You sleep in your bed.
00:19:11I'll sleep on the couch.
00:19:12I, Richard Hawthorne,
00:19:13am a gentleman.
00:19:14I will absolutely not touch you.
00:19:15Fine,
00:19:16but me,
00:19:16as if I am begging you to.
00:19:20Alright,
00:19:20ground rules it is.
00:19:21Suits me perfectly.
00:19:22Since Air Richard set the terms,
00:19:24I have my own rules too.
00:19:25In public,
00:19:26I am Lady Hawthorne.
00:19:27I'll save your face.
00:19:27But in private,
00:19:28how we interact
00:19:29is a free for all.
00:19:30As long as it doesn't reach our parents.
00:19:31Don't use those dead rules
00:19:32to suppress me.
00:19:33I don't buy that.
00:19:34Second,
00:19:35non-interference is fine.
00:19:36But if the food over there
00:19:37smells too good,
00:19:38or your martial arts practice
00:19:39is too loud,
00:19:40don't blame me
00:19:41if I cross the line.
00:19:44Julia,
00:19:45you are shameless.
00:19:46Third,
00:19:46and most importantly,
00:19:48since you claim
00:19:49to be a gentleman,
00:19:50do me a favor.
00:19:51Chew up what you just said,
00:19:52swallow it,
00:19:52and carve it on your head.
00:19:53If you ever speak recklessly again,
00:19:55saying I neglect my family,
00:19:56or lack matters,
00:19:57I will show you.
00:19:57Even if you don't touch me,
00:19:58I have plenty of ways
00:19:59to make you feel
00:20:00what true insubordination
00:20:01and murdering
00:20:02your husband is.
00:20:03Fine.
00:20:04Very good.
00:20:05Remember what you said.
00:20:06Right back at you.
00:20:07Careful not to trip.
00:20:09Sleep already?
00:20:10Aren't you afraid
00:20:11of freezing to death
00:20:11on that couch?
00:20:12Let me out!
00:20:13It is so dark in here!
00:20:15Help!
00:20:17Julia,
00:20:18why are you freaking out
00:20:18in the middle of the night?
00:20:19Can't you take a better time to yell?
00:20:20Mom,
00:20:21don't leave me alone.
00:20:22So cold.
00:20:23What is wrong?
00:20:23How is this?
00:20:24She-Hulk having a nightmare?
00:20:26Ironhead Richard!
00:20:28Save me!
00:20:35Don't!
00:20:36Don't go!
00:20:37I am scared!
00:20:38Don't leave me alone!
00:20:40Julia,
00:20:40what are you playing at?
00:20:41You were the one
00:20:42who made the three rules.
00:20:42Now you're the one
00:20:43holding on tight.
00:20:45What a hassle.
00:20:46I'll be tied down by you
00:20:47for the rest of my life.
00:20:51Julia,
00:20:52you asked for this.
00:20:53Don't wake up tomorrow
00:20:54and say I took advantage of you.
00:20:55For a tomboy,
00:20:56she is actually pretty stunning.
00:20:59Richard,
00:20:59are you crazy?
00:21:00This is Julia,
00:21:01the one who can beat you to a pulp.
00:21:02That's shut on through.
00:21:03Fine,
00:21:04you win.
00:21:05You are usually so infuriating,
00:21:06but look so helplessly.
00:21:09Julia,
00:21:10you really are
00:21:11a bewitching temptress.
00:21:16Richard,
00:21:17wake up.
00:21:18Stop sleeping.
00:21:19I am awake.
00:21:19When we see my parents later,
00:21:21wipe that scowl off your face.
00:21:22At least pretend to be nice.
00:21:24Got it.
00:21:25Pretend?
00:21:26No one faced it better than you.
00:21:27Who was crying and clinging
00:21:28to my sleeve last night?
00:21:29Like a wet kid.
00:21:29I couldn't even shake you off.
00:21:30Shut up!
00:21:31I just don't want my parents
00:21:32worrying over nothing.
00:21:33If you dare ruin this,
00:21:34our three rules are off.
00:21:35I know.
00:21:36Stop nagging.
00:21:43What is going on?
00:21:44Are we some kind of circus act?
00:21:45More like they're waiting
00:21:46for news of our divorce.
00:21:49Look, Serena.
00:21:50The sun really rose in the west.
00:21:52Those two actually aren't fighting.
00:21:53Could it be on their wedding night?
00:21:55They actually fell for each other?
00:21:57With Julia's temper,
00:21:59I highly doubt it.
00:22:01See that?
00:22:02Big brother,
00:22:02Richard looks so exhausted.
00:22:03Seems her ways of taming him
00:22:05are quite something.
00:22:06Look,
00:22:07he looks so angry,
00:22:07but too scared to speak.
00:22:08Julia probably beat him
00:22:09into submission.
00:22:14Julia,
00:22:14are you crazy?
00:22:15You heard them, right?
00:22:16They actually think
00:22:17I beat you up.
00:22:18Well,
00:22:19say something.
00:22:19Behave.
00:22:20Want the whole city
00:22:21knowing I slept on the couch
00:22:22and about your nightmares.
00:22:26Look at them.
00:22:27Despite the fuss,
00:22:27they really do look like
00:22:28a couple playfully bickering.
00:22:30As long as they don't
00:22:30flip the table,
00:22:31it is already beyond
00:22:32my expectations.
00:22:34Father,
00:22:34mother,
00:22:35please have some tea.
00:22:36Father,
00:22:36mother,
00:22:37please have some tea.
00:22:39You are adults now
00:22:40that you are married.
00:22:41You must love
00:22:42and respect each other
00:22:42and uphold
00:22:43the manners on her.
00:22:46But Julia
00:22:47has a fiery temper.
00:22:48Now that she is
00:22:49at the manor,
00:22:50if she misbehaves,
00:22:51please bear with her.
00:22:52She hasn't caused
00:22:53any big trouble
00:22:54for the manor,
00:22:54has she?
00:22:56If this jerk says
00:22:57I made him sleep
00:22:57on the couch,
00:22:58I am so dead.
00:23:01Rich,
00:23:02what is wrong?
00:23:03Are you feeling unwell?
00:23:04Don't you dare
00:23:05say a single word.
00:23:07You worry too much,
00:23:09mother.
00:23:09Not at all.
00:23:10That is good.
00:23:11As long as you get along,
00:23:12I can finally rest easy.
00:23:14New Julia
00:23:15must have pinched him.
00:23:16Just look at
00:23:16Richard's expression.
00:23:17He looks like
00:23:17he swallowed a fly.
00:23:18More than just a pinch,
00:23:19that looks like
00:23:20total dominance.
00:23:21Seems our brother-in-law
00:23:22is in for a long,
00:23:23happy life.
00:23:29If it weren't for
00:23:29the royal decree
00:23:30forcing this marriage,
00:23:31would I right now
00:23:31have someone
00:23:32who truly cares for me
00:23:34instead of facing
00:23:34a one dollar
00:23:35cold stone on guard
00:23:35against me?
00:23:40What?
00:23:40Is the food
00:23:41at Lucas Manor
00:23:42not to your liking?
00:23:43Julia,
00:23:44don't just pick
00:23:44at your rice.
00:23:45Look,
00:23:46isn't this
00:23:46your favorite goose breast?
00:23:47Rich,
00:23:48that dish is
00:23:49right next to you.
00:23:50Julia can't reach it.
00:23:51Put some on her plate.
00:23:52Serve her food
00:23:53in front of
00:23:54all these spies.
00:23:55Mother-in-law,
00:23:56you are really
00:23:56putting me on the spot.
00:24:01Eat.
00:24:02There we go.
00:24:03You were like siblings
00:24:03and now you are married.
00:24:05You should look out
00:24:05for each other.
00:24:08See that?
00:24:09Just like how we were
00:24:09when we first got married.
00:24:10Just shut up
00:24:11and eat.
00:24:12The young general
00:24:13is so fierce
00:24:13on the battlefield,
00:24:14but at home,
00:24:16he is just a paper tiger
00:24:17trying to save face.
00:24:21Richard,
00:24:22you looked so stiff
00:24:23completing your mission.
00:24:24Be glad you even
00:24:25got a bite,
00:24:25Julia.
00:24:26I've never served
00:24:26anyone food
00:24:27in my entire life,
00:24:27so don't push your luck.
00:24:31Julia,
00:24:32come on,
00:24:32tell us.
00:24:33Is the bed
00:24:33at the matter
00:24:34harder than ours
00:24:34at home?
00:24:36Richard,
00:24:37no one can save you now.
00:24:39Young general,
00:24:40actually,
00:24:40it is brother-in-law now.
00:24:42Heard you two
00:24:42made quite a ruckus
00:24:43last night.
00:24:44Being a Lucas son-in-law
00:24:45takes more than
00:24:46serving food
00:24:47to be a good one.
00:24:48Richard,
00:24:49don't be so stiff.
00:24:50Here in the side hall,
00:24:51we're all in the same boat.
00:24:52No outsiders here.
00:24:53You need to know
00:24:53being a Lucas son-in-law
00:24:54is a complex science,
00:24:55especially since you
00:24:56married the boss
00:24:57of our family.
00:24:58Let your brothers-in-law
00:24:59teach you the art
00:24:59of survival.
00:25:00Much appreciated.
00:25:01This advice-giving squad
00:25:02seems a bit
00:25:03sketchy to me.
00:25:03No matter how fierce
00:25:04our wives are,
00:25:05can they match Julia
00:25:05whipping people
00:25:06at the drop of a hat?
00:25:07First things first,
00:25:08brother-in-law,
00:25:08you need a thick skin.
00:25:09Whether the elders
00:25:09are teasing you
00:25:10or we're making jokes,
00:25:11just let it breeze
00:25:11right past you.
00:25:12It is an everyday thing here.
00:25:14I've got a lifesaver for you.
00:25:15Just surrender,
00:25:16especially when
00:25:16the sisters get together.
00:25:17Don't hesitate to serve food
00:25:18and be ready to pour drinks.
00:25:19Keep your attitude check.
00:25:20Thanks for the tips,
00:25:21but I know what I am doing.
00:25:22Acting tough now, kid.
00:25:24You'll be crying later.
00:25:24We learned this the hard way.
00:25:26But aren't the older sisters
00:25:27much more level-headed
00:25:27than Julia.
00:25:28Hey, brother-in-law,
00:25:29it is not actually backing down.
00:25:30It is called
00:25:31a strategic retreat
00:25:31in a battle.
00:25:32If a frontal assault
00:25:32is too costly,
00:25:33you have to target
00:25:33their weak point.
00:25:34Sometimes your eldest sister
00:25:34gets mad and locks me
00:25:35out of the room.
00:25:36At first,
00:25:36I'd want to just storm off,
00:25:37but then I figured it out.
00:25:38Figured what out?
00:25:38Better, and climb in the window.
00:25:39Smile and say some sweet words,
00:25:40then it'll all blow over.
00:25:42Climb a window?
00:25:43Climbing a window is nothing.
00:25:43When Eleanor was pregnant
00:25:44with our first,
00:25:44she craved East Market
00:25:45plum cakes at midnight.
00:25:46The shop was closed.
00:25:46I still jumped over the wall
00:25:47and dragged a baker
00:25:47out of bed to make them.
00:25:50Julia, let your sister teach you.
00:25:52Sometimes men
00:25:52just need the cold shoulder.
00:25:54Doesn't he want to sleep
00:25:54on the couch?
00:25:55Let him.
00:25:56At night,
00:25:56like that night,
00:25:57rose incense,
00:25:58it calms the nerves,
00:25:58works like a charm,
00:25:59guaranteed he'll sleep
00:26:00like a log.
00:26:01All his temper will vanish.
00:26:02He'll be perfectly behaved
00:26:02the next day.
00:26:04Lillian's method
00:26:04is a bit wild,
00:26:05but Julia,
00:26:06playing hard to get
00:26:06does work.
00:26:07The less you care about him,
00:26:08the more anxious he gets.
00:26:09Men care about their pride
00:26:10outside.
00:26:10At home,
00:26:11you need to learn
00:26:11to show weakness.
00:26:12Find a chance
00:26:13to pretend you pricked
00:26:13your finger
00:26:13or twisted your ankle.
00:26:14See if he feels sorry for you.
00:26:15Pretend to be weak!
00:26:16Lillian,
00:26:17that is way too fake!
00:26:18I'd rather just fight him!
00:26:19Silly girl,
00:26:20it is called strategy.
00:26:21Try shedding a tear or two,
00:26:22I guarantee it works
00:26:22better than a stick.
00:26:26Having thick skin
00:26:27and giving in,
00:26:28these guys
00:26:28act so dignified in court,
00:26:30but live like this
00:26:31behind closed doors.
00:26:32Hum,
00:26:32incense and faking
00:26:33sick Lillian's ideas
00:26:34are ridiculous.
00:26:35Look at him,
00:26:36looking like a martyr.
00:26:37He is definitely
00:26:37plotting against me.
00:26:38I am sleeping in the study,
00:26:39tonight.
00:26:40Richard Hawthorne,
00:26:41don't you dare!
00:26:42Julia Lucas,
00:26:42you think I want this?
00:26:43You are too noisy
00:26:44when you sleep,
00:26:45talking,
00:26:45grinding your teeth,
00:26:45even sleepwalking.
00:26:46Me?
00:26:47I grind my teeth
00:26:48and sleepwalk.
00:26:49Look at the dark circles
00:26:50under my eyes.
00:26:51Last night you sat up
00:26:52out of nowhere,
00:26:52wondering about beating
00:26:53someone's death.
00:26:53Who can sleep through that?
00:26:55Is it really that bad?
00:26:58Worse than you can imagine.
00:27:01Then you sleep on the bed,
00:27:03and I'll take the couch,
00:27:04alright?
00:27:04She didn't even argue,
00:27:05and gave me the bed.
00:27:07You really seem to want
00:27:08to stay in the same room
00:27:09with me.
00:27:09Our family has rules.
00:27:10If you want to be
00:27:11interrogated by grandmother
00:27:11and mother tomorrow
00:27:12about why you slept in the study
00:27:13right after our wedding,
00:27:14then go ahead.
00:27:14I won't stop you.
00:27:15I didn't know
00:27:16my sleeping bothered you.
00:27:17I'll call a doctor tomorrow
00:27:18to prescribe something
00:27:19to help me sleep.
00:27:19Maybe that'll help.
00:27:21Suit yourself.
00:27:26Richard Hawthorne,
00:27:27I did give you a chance.
00:27:28You're the one who turned down
00:27:29a perfectly good bed.
00:27:30If you still can't sleep well tonight,
00:27:31don't blame my teeth
00:27:32grinding and sleepwalking again.
00:27:39Hey, Richard,
00:27:40you've only been married
00:27:41a few days.
00:27:41Why do you look
00:27:42completely drained of life?
00:27:43Seems Miss Julia
00:27:43really lives up to her name.
00:27:45The young general
00:27:45used to be so fierce
00:27:46on the field,
00:27:47but now he is totally
00:27:47wrapped around Miss Julia's finger.
00:27:49He is completely whipped,
00:27:50doesn't even dare
00:27:50to drink too much anymore.
00:27:51Bullshit!
00:27:52You think I am afraid of her?
00:27:53I am just humoring her.
00:27:54A real man doesn't fight women.
00:27:55Get it!
00:27:56Oh, come on!
00:27:57That shrew is totally spoiled.
00:27:58The whole capital city knows it.
00:27:59Only you, Richard,
00:27:59can handle her.
00:28:00Enough.
00:28:00No matter what,
00:28:01she is my lawfully wedded wife.
00:28:03It is not your place to gossip.
00:28:08Why are you sleeping here?
00:28:09Look at the state of you.
00:28:10Your eyes are so sunken
00:28:11they could hold water.
00:28:12People might actually think
00:28:12I am some shrew
00:28:13who tortures her husband every day.
00:28:14Here, you can sleep in the big bed.
00:28:15I am in a good mood today,
00:28:16so it is yours.
00:28:17As for you sleeping on the couch,
00:28:18the maids in this room aren't lying.
00:28:19Word has already reached the mother.
00:28:20Besides,
00:28:21you get up early
00:28:21to train every day.
00:28:22If you embarrass yourself
00:28:23on the field from lack of sleep,
00:28:24it is the Lucas family's reputation
00:28:24you'll ruin.
00:28:25Mind your own business.
00:28:33Sure is comfortable.
00:28:34Should have made her sleep
00:28:34on the couch from the start.
00:28:35Serves her right.
00:28:36That is what she gets
00:28:37for glaring at me
00:28:37at the royal banquet
00:28:38and for biting me.
00:28:39That's well true.
00:28:40Playing along is a good way
00:28:40to figure her out.
00:28:41That.
00:28:43Why are you still awake?
00:28:44You're so annoying.
00:28:46Get up.
00:28:47Come sleep in the bed.
00:28:49Huh?
00:28:49What did you say?
00:28:52Richard!
00:28:53Are you crazy?
00:28:54Put me down!
00:28:58Stay still.
00:28:59Don't think I actually
00:29:00want to hold you.
00:29:00I am just afraid
00:29:01you'd sleepwalk and fall.
00:29:02Then I'd get scolded
00:29:03by my mother-in-law.
00:29:04Besides,
00:29:04don't worry.
00:29:05I have zero interest in you.
00:29:08You'd better not.
00:29:13Young lady,
00:29:14Master Richard
00:29:14just sent someone back.
00:29:15Saying he urgently
00:29:15needs this transfer order.
00:29:16But with my old legs,
00:29:17I really can't keep up
00:29:17with the fast horse.
00:29:18Urgently?
00:29:18Even Ironhead Richard
00:29:19messes up sometimes.
00:29:20Whatever.
00:29:20I am going to grace Abbey anyway.
00:29:22I'll just drop it off on the way.
00:29:23Miss,
00:29:24are we really going to the camp?
00:29:25I heard it is full of rough men.
00:29:27A noble lady like you.
00:29:28It is just on the way.
00:29:30Besides,
00:29:30running the household all day,
00:29:32my bones are getting rusty.
00:29:33Good chance for some fresh air.
00:29:37Lady Julia Hawthorne is here.
00:29:39Delivering Master Richard's
00:29:39urgent document.
00:29:43Why did you come yourself?
00:29:44This is no place for you.
00:29:46You forgot this.
00:29:47I was heading to Grace Abbey
00:29:48to pray for Mother.
00:29:49It is only a few miles away,
00:29:50so I brought it to you.
00:29:52Julia,
00:29:52play along.
00:29:53Don't make me lose space
00:29:54in front of my men.
00:29:55I owe you one.
00:29:55Yes, husband.
00:29:56Since it is delivered,
00:29:57I won't keep you
00:29:58from your military duties.
00:29:59Mother is waiting
00:30:00for my return at home.
00:30:02Thank you for making the trip,
00:30:03my lady.
00:30:04Be careful on the road.
00:30:05Give my regards to Mother
00:30:06when you get back.
00:30:08This woman.
00:30:09She's definitely
00:30:09doing this on purpose.
00:30:11Your wife is so devoted.
00:30:12General traveling miles
00:30:12just to deliver a document.
00:30:13She truly cares for you deeply.
00:30:14She's nothing like
00:30:14that rumored
00:30:15unbeatable Miss Julia
00:30:15of the capital city.
00:30:16Completely different.
00:30:16What are you looking at?
00:30:17Nothing better to do.
00:30:18Five laps with ways.
00:30:18Go.
00:30:22Spring!
00:30:23Did you see
00:30:23Ironhead Richard's face
00:30:24just now?
00:30:25So nervous
00:30:25but acting tough.
00:30:27That was hilarious.
00:30:28Miss,
00:30:28that husband of yours
00:30:29probably sent
00:30:30half of Master Richard's
00:30:31soul flying away.
00:30:34This general
00:30:35is much more
00:30:36enlightened
00:30:36than that
00:30:37blockhead
00:30:37Ironhead Richard.
00:30:38That act you put on
00:30:39outside the camp today
00:30:40was quite convincing.
00:30:41This young master
00:30:42gained plenty of face
00:30:43in front of his brothers.
00:30:44I just happened
00:30:45to deliver something to you.
00:30:46Don't flatter yourself.
00:30:47General Hawthorne,
00:30:48I am not that bored.
00:30:53Hey,
00:30:53Ironhead Richard!
00:30:54Why did you grab my book?
00:30:54Give it back!
00:30:55The general's beloved.
00:30:56Julia,
00:30:57is this what you read
00:30:58every day?
00:30:58Such pointless trash.
00:30:59What do you know?
00:31:00It is the most popular book
00:31:00in the capital city right now.
00:31:01Give it back to me!
00:31:02Julia,
00:31:03seriously,
00:31:04you helped me out today.
00:31:05What do you want in return?
00:31:06I owe you one.
00:31:08I don't need it.
00:31:09I just haven't been out
00:31:10in a while.
00:31:11And the military camp,
00:31:12you know,
00:31:12as well as I do.
00:31:13I grew up there.
00:31:14Yeah.
00:31:14She grew up playing
00:31:15in the sand of the northwest,
00:31:16returned to the capital
00:31:17at 14,
00:31:18and trapped that wild
00:31:18spirit of hers.
00:31:19I wonder how things
00:31:20are in the northwest now.
00:31:21And Sammy?
00:31:23If that kid knew
00:31:24we got married,
00:31:25he'd probably
00:31:25let his teeth off.
00:31:27Tell me about it.
00:31:28We fought each other
00:31:29since we were kids
00:31:30and ended up
00:31:30in the same bed.
00:31:31Yeah.
00:31:32All right.
00:31:32Go to sleep.
00:31:37Miss,
00:31:37this soft mist silk
00:31:38is perfect for Lady Hawthorne.
00:31:39It flatters bare skin.
00:31:40As for the grand dame,
00:31:41let's choose this infinity brocade.
00:31:42What do you think?
00:31:42Eleanor has delicate skin.
00:31:43Soft mist silk soothes her well.
00:31:44We'll get the brocades
00:31:45for mother-in-law.
00:31:46It looks more dignified.
00:31:47Miss Lulady,
00:31:48Hawthorne.
00:31:50Mr. Goodwin,
00:31:51it has been a while.
00:31:52Yes, it has.
00:31:53Fancy meeting you here.
00:31:54Have you been well lately?
00:31:55Thank you for your concern.
00:31:56Everything is fine.
00:31:57The autumn wind is strong.
00:31:58You should wear a cloak
00:31:59when heading out.
00:32:00You too, Mr. Goodwin.
00:32:01If there's nothing else,
00:32:01I shall take my leave.
00:32:02If that stubborn Richard
00:32:03were here
00:32:03and saw me talking to Gavin,
00:32:05he'd be making sarcastic remarks.
00:32:06True, my lady.
00:32:07I am going.
00:32:08Excuse me.
00:32:10Hey, Richard,
00:32:11look over there.
00:32:12Isn't that your wife?
00:32:13That pretty boy with her.
00:32:14Isn't that scholar Goodwin?
00:32:18Look at Mr. Goodwin smiling.
00:32:19He looks so smug.
00:32:21Richard,
00:32:21aren't you gonna say hi?
00:32:26Say hi.
00:32:27I don't have time for this.
00:32:28I am out.
00:32:30Is the young lady back?
00:32:31Yes.
00:32:32Master Richard,
00:32:32just got back.
00:32:33She's in her room
00:32:34removing makeup.
00:32:34I heard she's in a great mood.
00:32:35She's even humming a tune.
00:32:36Great mood.
00:32:37Good.
00:32:39Just wonderful.
00:32:42What is wrong?
00:32:43Who made you so mad this time?
00:32:44Where did you go this afternoon?
00:32:46I went to the East Market for fabric.
00:32:47Didn't I have the store
00:32:48tell mother about it?
00:32:50Buying fabric
00:32:50and meeting your sweetheart
00:32:52while at it?
00:32:52You saw us.
00:32:53Yes.
00:32:53I ran into Mr. Goodwin.
00:32:55We just exchanged a few words.
00:32:56What is the big deal?
00:32:57A few words?
00:32:57Looked like a great chat to me.
00:32:58You probably wanted to
00:32:59catch up till dark.
00:33:00What?
00:33:01Do you regret marrying
00:33:02an unromantic stubborn Richard
00:33:03like me?
00:33:03Think scholar Goodwin
00:33:04is so gentle?
00:33:05What nonsense
00:33:06are you talking about?
00:33:06It was just a chance encounter.
00:33:08I have nothing to hide.
00:33:08How can your mind
00:33:09be so filthy?
00:33:10Filthy?
00:33:10The whole capital knows
00:33:11how you used to chase after him.
00:33:12Do you even respect me,
00:33:13your husband, at all?
00:33:14You are simply unreasonable.
00:33:16Julia Lucas,
00:33:17ask yourself honestly.
00:33:18If it were me today,
00:33:19running into another woman
00:33:19on the street
00:33:20and chatting happily,
00:33:21could you be this calm?
00:33:23You are just twisting my words.
00:33:24Mr. Goodwin and I
00:33:25were in broad daylight
00:33:26with clear consciences.
00:33:27We have nothing to hide.
00:33:29You're hurting me.
00:33:31I let go.
00:33:32Julia Lucas,
00:33:33you better remember this.
00:33:34You are Richard Hawthorne's
00:33:35lawfully wedded wife.
00:33:37Stay away from other men
00:33:37from now on.
00:33:38Do you hear me?
00:33:39What gives you the right
00:33:40to talk to me like that?
00:33:41Yes, I talk to him.
00:33:41So what?
00:33:42Divorce me if you have the guts.
00:33:44Good.
00:33:46Very good.
00:33:47You think I wouldn't dare?
00:33:50Jerk!
00:33:50Are you crazy?
00:34:00You still have feelings for Gavin,
00:34:02don't you?
00:34:02Richard!
00:34:03You bastard!
00:34:04I've lost my mind.
00:34:06Julia, you are my wife.
00:34:07You belong to me.
00:34:07Aren't you afraid
00:34:08I'll really kill him?
00:34:09You...
00:34:09You want to kill him?
00:34:10You are totally unreasonable.
00:34:11You still care about him,
00:34:12huh?
00:34:13What are you doing?
00:34:14Let me go!
00:34:14Let go!
00:34:16Richard!
00:34:17Don't you dare!
00:34:19Richard!
00:34:20You stupid!
00:34:22Richard!
00:34:23Accusing me like this!
00:34:24If this gets out
00:34:25my reputation,
00:34:26what about the
00:34:26Lucas family's reputation?
00:34:28You are talking
00:34:29about reputation now,
00:34:30my men!
00:34:31Saw it with their own eyes today!
00:34:32You were secretly
00:34:32meeting with Gavin!
00:34:33My pride has already
00:34:34been dragged through
00:34:35the mud by you!
00:34:35That is nonsense!
00:34:36There were so many
00:34:37people around,
00:34:37and Spring was
00:34:38right there with me!
00:34:39I just walked past
00:34:39and said hi!
00:34:40How can you
00:34:40kill me like this?
00:34:41How could you?
00:34:42Because you are
00:34:43my lawful wife!
00:34:49Let me go!
00:34:51Julia!
00:34:54What did I just do?
00:34:56Have I lost my mind?
00:34:59I'm sorry!
00:35:06The screaming that night
00:35:07was awful!
00:35:08I heard it clearly
00:35:08from the side room,
00:35:09sounded like clothes
00:35:10were being torn!
00:35:11Master Richard
00:35:12usually acts tough,
00:35:13but could Lady Julia
00:35:14really have?
00:35:14Stop your gossiping!
00:35:15Lady Hawthorne
00:35:16gave strict orders!
00:35:17If the Grand Dame
00:35:17hears of this,
00:35:17you'll get your
00:35:18life broken and be sold!
00:35:20Lady Hawthorne,
00:35:20please don't worry!
00:35:21Master Richard has
00:35:21spent these past few days
00:35:22sleeping at the camp
00:35:22in the outer study.
00:35:23He won't even
00:35:23show his face!
00:35:24What young couple
00:35:25doesn't bicker,
00:35:26but with his stubborn
00:35:26temper matched
00:35:27with Julia's hard head?
00:35:28Why don't you try
00:35:29talking to Lady Julia?
00:35:30They need to sort out
00:35:30their own mess.
00:35:31If we interfere,
00:35:32we'll just make it worse.
00:35:32Miss, Master Richard
00:35:33just got back.
00:35:34He went to see
00:35:34the Grand Dame.
00:35:35Will you go over there now?
00:35:36Better wait until he leaves.
00:35:38I don't want to see him.
00:35:39Miss, you haven't
00:35:39spoken to him for days.
00:35:40It is taking a toll
00:35:41on your health.
00:35:42Say what?
00:35:43That we did nothing wrong.
00:35:44That we have nothing to hide.
00:35:45There is no need.
00:35:45General,
00:35:46my lady was indeed
00:35:47just at the Silk Pavilion
00:35:47and ran into Mr. Goodwin
00:35:48by chance.
00:35:49Spring and the guards
00:35:49were with her all along.
00:35:50Nothing inappropriate happened.
00:35:51Got it.
00:35:52Get out of here.
00:35:54Just a coincidence.
00:35:55And then,
00:35:56why did she fight
00:35:56with me that day?
00:35:57Why didn't she explain?
00:35:58Look at you!
00:35:59So down lately!
00:36:00Bro,
00:36:00I brought these beauties
00:36:01just to cheer you up!
00:36:02Every one of them
00:36:03is so sweet!
00:36:03Way better than the one at home!
00:36:04Julia,
00:36:05who bears her claws
00:36:05at everything!
00:36:05Come keep our young
00:36:06General company!
00:36:07Help him relax a bit!
00:36:09General,
00:36:10have a drink.
00:36:11It'll make all
00:36:11your worries go away.
00:36:17Get lost!
00:36:18Richard,
00:36:19what are you?
00:36:19Who said you could
00:36:20talk about her?
00:36:21No matter how she bears
00:36:21her claws,
00:36:22she is still mine.
00:36:23For the drinks.
00:36:26Miss,
00:36:26there is news from the palace.
00:36:27Families of rank 3
00:36:28and above must attend.
00:36:29I am afraid
00:36:29we can't avoid it this time.
00:36:31Why should I avoid it?
00:36:32If I don't go,
00:36:33it'll just make me look guilty
00:36:34and confirm all those rumors.
00:36:38General,
00:36:39the carriage is ready.
00:36:40Madam is getting ready too.
00:36:42Got it.
00:36:42Let's go.
00:36:46Look,
00:36:47they're sitting so far apart.
00:36:48General Hawthorne
00:36:49looks absolutely miserable.
00:36:51He moved to the study
00:36:52just days after the wedding.
00:36:53This lady,
00:36:54Julia,
00:36:54is nothing but a pretty face.
00:36:56Thanks.
00:37:00Are you still mad at me?
00:37:02I've had a bit too much
00:37:03to drink today.
00:37:03I don't want to fight with you.
00:37:04General Hawthorne,
00:37:05I am not trying to fight.
00:37:07I want to apologize to you.
00:37:09Julia.
00:37:09Can an apology erase those bruises?
00:37:11Or can it stop the mouths
00:37:12of people in the capital city?
00:37:13I was out of my mind that day.
00:37:15I couldn't stand seeing you
00:37:15smile at him.
00:37:16Hit me.
00:37:17Hit me back.
00:37:17Curse at me.
00:37:18Call me an iron-head bastard
00:37:19like before.
00:37:19Just say something to me.
00:37:20Julia,
00:37:21are you not even listening to me?
00:37:22Do you plan to spend
00:37:23the rest of your life
00:37:23ignoring me like this?
00:37:25General Hawthorne,
00:37:25please behave yourself.
00:37:27I am tired.
00:37:33Julia,
00:37:33slow down.
00:37:37Get lost.
00:37:38All of you,
00:37:39stay out.
00:37:41Please.
00:37:43Talk to me.
00:37:43You haven't spoken to me in days.
00:37:45Just say something.
00:37:46Even if you curse at me,
00:37:47I am begging you.
00:37:49I am sorry.
00:37:49I am really sorry.
00:37:50I haven't eaten or slept well these days.
00:37:52When I close my eyes,
00:37:53I see you crying.
00:37:53I was just crazy with jealousy.
00:37:55Whenever I thought of you smiling at him,
00:37:56my heart felt like it was on fire.
00:37:57I even wanted to kill him,
00:37:58but I shouldn't have taken it out on you.
00:37:59I am so sorry, Julia.
00:38:02General Hawthorne has really made a name for himself.
00:38:03You are a grown man now,
00:38:04yet you act as recklessly as a three-year-old,
00:38:06lashing out without knowing the facts.
00:38:08Is someone like you
00:38:09really fit to command an army?
00:38:10Yes.
00:38:11Yes.
00:38:11I am not fit.
00:38:12You are right to scold me.
00:38:13You are finally talking to me.
00:38:14As long as you talk to me,
00:38:15I'll even kneel in the ancestral hall.
00:38:16I am a bastard.
00:38:17I am a brute.
00:38:17You are absolutely right.
00:38:18And those shady friends of yours.
00:38:20I warned you years ago.
00:38:21They are just social climbers with rotten minds.
00:38:23As a noble heir,
00:38:24you don't even pick your friends.
00:38:25It is beneath you.
00:38:26I'll pick carefully from now on.
00:38:27Those gossiping bastards.
00:38:28I'll cut them off tomorrow.
00:38:30If you want to party,
00:38:31I don't care.
00:38:32But if you ruin the Hawthorne and Lucas' names,
00:38:33I'll make you pay.
00:38:34I won't.
00:38:35I swear it.
00:38:35Not another drop of alcohol.
00:38:36I'll do whatever you say.
00:38:37If I fail,
00:38:37punish me as you see fit.
00:38:38Since we won't be fighting anymore,
00:38:39there are things we need to arrange.
00:38:41Once things settle down in the manor,
00:38:42I'll talk to Mother
00:38:44about picking some proper concubines to serve you.
00:38:47What?
00:38:48You are Air Richard.
00:38:49You need to continue the bloodline.
00:38:51Besides,
00:38:51having trustworthy girls in your room
00:38:53is way better than you messing around
00:38:54in those dirty places outside, right?
00:38:57Julia, Lucas!
00:38:58You!
00:38:58What do you take me for?
00:38:59A breeding animal!
00:39:00I am just trying to save your face.
00:39:02A few days ago,
00:39:02you were dead drunk,
00:39:03carried back by the servants like a dead pig.
00:39:04Everyone in the manor saw it.
00:39:05It was so embarrassing.
00:39:06If you have a concubine in your courtyard,
00:39:07even if you get drunk again,
00:39:08someone will be there to serve you, right?
00:39:09So you won't lose your dignity.
00:39:10As a general...
00:39:11You are doing this on purpose!
00:39:12To make me mad, aren't you?
00:39:14Who is messing around?
00:39:15I went to the tavern to drink.
00:39:16Just to drink.
00:39:16I may walk through a field of flowers,
00:39:18but I never get involved.
00:39:18I...
00:39:19I am still completely pure.
00:39:21Don't laugh.
00:39:22I absolutely cannot laugh.
00:39:23Hold it in.
00:39:24Julia, Lucas.
00:39:25Stop being so sarcastic.
00:39:26If I say I am pure,
00:39:27then I am pure.
00:39:28If you don't believe me,
00:39:28you can ask.
00:39:30Who could I even ask?
00:39:31Anyway,
00:39:31I've never touched those women.
00:39:35Oh, really?
00:39:36The young general
00:39:37has kept himself quite pure.
00:39:39What is...
00:39:40with that look?
00:39:41All right.
00:39:41I get it.
00:39:45I'll make a note
00:39:46of General Hawthorne's innocence.
00:39:51Mother has always been
00:39:52very strict about the rules.
00:39:54Does she really agree
00:39:55to let you pick concubines for me?
00:39:57Look how happy you are.
00:39:59Don't worry.
00:40:00I've already asked around.
00:40:02I'll pick a few gentle
00:40:03and sweet ones for you,
00:40:04so you can carry on
00:40:05the family line.
00:40:06Okay.
00:40:06said I am happy.
00:40:07Are you serious?
00:40:08You are really shoving
00:40:09other women into my arms.
00:40:10You are at that age,
00:40:12young general,
00:40:13full of youthful vigor.
00:40:14As your wife,
00:40:15I must be generous.
00:40:16Everyone understands that.
00:40:17Are you even a woman?
00:40:18Other men's wives
00:40:19guard against homewreckers
00:40:20and concubines.
00:40:21How could you rush
00:40:21to arrange them for me?
00:40:23Isn't this for your own good?
00:40:25So you won't go to the tavern
00:40:26and have the butler
00:40:26drag you back?
00:40:27Julia,
00:40:28you don't care about me at all.
00:40:29In your mind,
00:40:30I am no different
00:40:31from livestock, am I?
00:40:32Care about you so much.
00:40:33That is why I am rushing
00:40:34to find you someone
00:40:35to take good care of you.
00:40:39I...
00:40:40Iron Head Witcher.
00:40:43Oh boy,
00:40:44I can't keep a straight face.
00:40:47Hey,
00:40:48Iron Head Richard,
00:40:49are you actually crying?
00:40:51You are the one
00:40:51who hurt me
00:40:52and bullied me.
00:40:53How come you are
00:40:54the one crying now?
00:40:55I already apologized.
00:40:56When have you ever seen me
00:40:57bow my head like this?
00:40:58So,
00:40:59have you learned your lesson?
00:41:00Yes,
00:41:00I have.
00:41:01Then why are you still crying?
00:41:03You are getting me concubines!
00:41:03Julia,
00:41:04do you have any idea
00:41:04that this hurts more
00:41:04than a military vlogging?
00:41:05Don't all men wish
00:41:06they could have a bunch
00:41:07of pretty concubines?
00:41:08You are crying over this.
00:41:09I don't want them.
00:41:10Whoever wants them to take them.
00:41:10There's no room
00:41:11for anyone else here anyway.
00:41:12Why not?
00:41:13Do you not care about
00:41:13the Hawthorne family line?
00:41:15Or,
00:41:15you just don't care about
00:41:16the girls I picked?
00:41:17I am...
00:41:18I am...
00:41:18Richard,
00:41:19what about you?
00:41:20Do you care about me?
00:41:24Everyone says that
00:41:25Julia Lucas
00:41:26and fierce and unruly
00:41:27and that the young general
00:41:28is hand-packed.
00:41:29I won't deny being fierce.
00:41:30As for you being scared
00:41:31of your wife,
00:41:31I won't deny that either.
00:41:32A man doesn't cry easily.
00:41:34I only cry for you.
00:41:36Aren't you afraid?
00:41:37I'll tease you
00:41:37about this forever.
00:41:39I am not.
00:41:40So,
00:41:41what if I am hand-packed?
00:41:42I guess in this life,
00:41:43I am completely at her mercy.
00:41:45Hey,
00:41:47did you really believe
00:41:49that Gavin and I
00:41:50were having an affair?
00:41:53Who said I believed it?
00:41:54I am far too smart.
00:41:56I wouldn't be fooled
00:41:56by such tricks.
00:41:57Richard,
00:41:58we grew up together.
00:42:00What kind of person I am
00:42:01and who I'd fall for
00:42:02can you really not tell at all?
00:42:09Will you still lose
00:42:10your temper with me?
00:42:11Or find ways to bully me,
00:42:12like you did
00:42:13these past few days?
00:42:14I won't.
00:42:15Never again.
00:42:17Then when you
00:42:18desperately stop me
00:42:19from talking to others,
00:42:20is it because you are
00:42:21afraid of ruining
00:42:21your reputation
00:42:22or the Hawthorne families?
00:42:23Julia Lucas,
00:42:24do you have to make
00:42:25everything so crystal clear?
00:42:26Of course I do.
00:42:27Lest the young general
00:42:28feel one day
00:42:28that I've embarrassed
00:42:29him again.
00:42:30I care about you!
00:42:31I care about you,
00:42:32alright, satisfied?
00:42:33Why?
00:42:33How rare!
00:42:34Pigs are flying.
00:42:36Our young general
00:42:37actually said
00:42:38something so sweet.
00:42:39Julia,
00:42:40say that again
00:42:40and see what happens.
00:42:41What do you do?
00:42:43Push me off the bed.
00:42:46Julia,
00:42:47you are mine.
00:42:48Mine for the rest
00:42:48of your life.
00:42:54Awake.
00:42:55You let go first.
00:42:58Don't move.
00:42:58Let me hold you
00:42:59a bit longer.
00:42:59You are not going
00:43:00to work today.
00:43:01Yeah,
00:43:02I'm not going.
00:43:03I think you took
00:43:03cold showers
00:43:04for too long last night.
00:43:05Too weak to get up.
00:43:06Julia,
00:43:07if you provoke me again,
00:43:08I can't guarantee
00:43:09that you'll be able
00:43:09to leave this room.
00:43:11Get to work.
00:43:13Yes,
00:43:13Grand Dame.
00:43:14Master Richard left
00:43:14with a smile this morning.
00:43:15He stayed in the main room
00:43:16again last night.
00:43:18Seems these two
00:43:18little lovebirds
00:43:19have finally broken the ice.
00:43:21Indeed.
00:43:22Rich seems so much
00:43:23more lively
00:43:23and Julia is looking
00:43:24so rosy now.
00:43:26She truly looks blessed.
00:43:31This is written wrong,
00:43:32sir.
00:43:32What are you looking at?
00:43:33Keep training.
00:43:34If you slow down at all,
00:43:34you'll all do extra
00:43:35training tonight.
00:43:41Bro,
00:43:41our little sister's
00:43:42got some serious skills.
00:43:43I bet it would take
00:43:44three months.
00:43:45It's only been a few days.
00:43:45Man,
00:43:46I thought Rich was
00:43:47a tough nut to crack.
00:43:48Didn't expect him
00:43:48to fall as fast.
00:43:49Way faster than we did
00:43:50back then.
00:43:52Master Richard,
00:43:53Lady Julia had
00:43:53a kitchen make this.
00:43:54She said you mentioned
00:43:55it yesterday,
00:43:55so she had me
00:43:56rush it over.
00:44:01Richard,
00:44:01snap out of it.
00:44:02Look,
00:44:02it's you.
00:44:03Smiling over a plate
00:44:04of pastries.
00:44:04We thought you'd
00:44:05hold out a few more days
00:44:06and brag about
00:44:07who wears the pants.
00:44:08Didn't expect it
00:44:09to be so fast.
00:44:10You are completely
00:44:10under her spell.
00:44:12You've totally
00:44:12surrendered.
00:44:13Nonsense.
00:44:14Stop making things up.
00:44:19I am just having a bite.
00:44:20Mind your own business.
00:44:25Richard,
00:44:25what are you up to today?
00:44:27It is not even
00:44:27completely dark out yet
00:44:28and you are already
00:44:29back from the camp.
00:44:29It was a slow day
00:44:30at the camp.
00:44:30I was on my way back,
00:44:31saw that pastry shop
00:44:32in the West Market
00:44:32and just picked some up
00:44:33for you.
00:44:34I hear that shop
00:44:34has a half hour wait.
00:44:35You're picking it up
00:44:36on the way.
00:44:36Young General
00:44:37is quite a grand gesture.
00:44:40I've been a jerk lately.
00:44:41I did you wrong.
00:44:44What did you say?
00:44:45I said,
00:44:45Mother thinks
00:44:46you should go out more
00:44:46and we just got
00:44:47a gentle little foal
00:44:48in the stables.
00:44:48Come see it with me.
00:44:49Has Ironhead Richard
00:44:50been possessed?
00:44:57That is the Hawthorne's
00:44:58little devil.
00:44:59He is holding hands
00:44:59with the Lucas's
00:45:00little terror.
00:45:01The sun must be
00:45:01rising in the West.
00:45:03Weren't there rumors
00:45:03a few days ago
00:45:04that they were fighting
00:45:04enough to tear down
00:45:05the house?
00:45:05But look at them now.
00:45:06Young General's eyes
00:45:07are completely glued to her.
00:45:08What is wrong?
00:45:09Are your soles too thin?
00:45:11Are your feet tired?
00:45:12There is a tea house ahead.
00:45:13Let's take a break.
00:45:14Ironhead Richard,
00:45:14please just act normal.
00:45:15Your clingy look
00:45:16is giving me the creeps.
00:45:17What is not normal?
00:45:18I am holding
00:45:19my own wife's hand.
00:45:20How is that not normal?
00:45:24You are still staring.
00:45:26Keep staring.
00:45:26And I am going back.
00:45:27I am looking at
00:45:28my own wife.
00:45:29It is my given right.
00:45:30You clingy fool.
00:45:31Let me go.
00:45:32Never.
00:45:32Not in this lifetime.
00:45:38Oh, Miss Julia.
00:45:40What brings you back
00:45:40at this hour?
00:45:41Cut the chatter.
00:45:42Is Lady Anna inside?
00:45:46What a rare wind
00:45:47brings our Lady Julia
00:45:48back here.
00:45:48Look at me.
00:45:49All ready.
00:45:50Assistant Law,
00:45:50quick.
00:45:51You gotta help me
00:45:51figure this out.
00:45:52That Ironhead Richard,
00:45:53did he completely lose his mind
00:45:53or get possessed
00:45:54in the northern frontier
00:45:54or get hensed?
00:45:55What is all this about?
00:45:56What did he do to you?
00:45:58He's like a completely
00:45:59different person.
00:46:00Just days ago,
00:46:00he acted like he never
00:46:01wanted to see me again.
00:46:02But lately,
00:46:03he's been sticking to me
00:46:04like Lou.
00:46:04He talks to me all weirdly
00:46:05and always tries
00:46:06to get close to me.
00:46:07Tell me,
00:46:07Assistant Law,
00:46:08did he fry his brain
00:46:08or something?
00:46:09Julia,
00:46:10don't panic.
00:46:11Let me ask you,
00:46:12being this clingy,
00:46:13has he forced
00:46:14or picked on you
00:46:14like before?
00:46:15Has he said awful things
00:46:17to make you mad?
00:46:18Not exactly.
00:46:19It is just too weird.
00:46:21So,
00:46:22his strange behavior,
00:46:23does it make you
00:46:23truly hate him
00:46:24or does it just
00:46:25leave you flustered?
00:46:26Make your heart beat faster
00:46:27and your face burn
00:46:28like fire?
00:46:29I am just not used to it.
00:46:31Who knows what kind
00:46:32of trick he is plotting?
00:46:33Trying to make a fool
00:46:34out of me?
00:46:35Well,
00:46:35men sometimes
00:46:36are just like
00:46:36dance rocks.
00:46:37But once they figure it out,
00:46:38that clumsy yet
00:46:39passionate energy
00:46:40is impossible to hide.
00:46:41He acted like a jerk
00:46:42because he didn't know better
00:46:43or he just used
00:46:43the wrong way
00:46:44to show he cares.
00:46:45What about how
00:46:46he bullied me before?
00:46:47Am I just supposed
00:46:47to let it go?
00:46:48Of course not.
00:46:48But to punish a man,
00:46:49don't push him away.
00:46:50Make him treat you
00:46:51even better.
00:46:51If you are still mad,
00:46:52ignore him for a few days.
00:46:53Let him feel the fear
00:46:54of losing you.
00:46:55Marriage is like
00:46:55a tug of war.
00:46:56If it is too tense,
00:46:57you both get tired.
00:46:57Since he is willing
00:46:58to yield,
00:46:59just gladly accept it.
00:46:59Let's see what else
00:47:00he has up his sleeve.
00:47:01You are right,
00:47:02sis-in-law.
00:47:02I should ignore him
00:47:03for a few more days
00:47:03to let him know
00:47:04that I...
00:47:04Miss Julia,
00:47:05I'm not that easy
00:47:05to appease.
00:47:06All right.
00:47:07Stay here for a couple
00:47:07of days.
00:47:08Relax and take it easy.
00:47:11Ironhead Richard,
00:47:12let's see how long
00:47:13you can last.
00:47:19It really feels best
00:47:20to be home.
00:47:21Even the air here
00:47:21is sweeter.
00:47:24Why are you standing
00:47:24here?
00:47:25Playing the door guard.
00:47:28Waiting for you.
00:47:29Waiting for me?
00:47:30Young General,
00:47:30that is a first.
00:47:31Waiting for me here.
00:47:33Yes, wife.
00:47:38Why do you keep
00:47:39following me?
00:47:39Are you that bored?
00:47:41Do you despise me
00:47:42that much?
00:47:43I am just not used
00:47:44to it.
00:47:44Didn't you used
00:47:45to hate me?
00:47:46You wanted me far
00:47:46away from here,
00:47:47never to return.
00:47:51I don't want you
00:47:51to be here.
00:47:52Let go.
00:47:53Ironhead Richard.
00:47:56See if you like it.
00:47:59This hairpin,
00:48:01it is exactly the same
00:48:02as the one
00:48:02he broke back then.
00:48:04I was wrong,
00:48:05my lady.
00:48:05Please be the bigger person
00:48:06and forgive your husband.
00:48:08Who asked you
00:48:09to find this?
00:48:10That is ancient history.
00:48:13So,
00:48:14will you forgive me?
00:48:15Forgive you for what?
00:48:17For being young
00:48:17and foolish.
00:48:18Yeah.
00:48:19So you know better now,
00:48:20meaning whatever
00:48:21I want you to do,
00:48:22you'll do it.
00:48:25Yeah.
00:48:26Then,
00:48:26let's hear you bark
00:48:27like a dog.
00:48:30Woof!
00:48:31Woof!
00:48:37Done laughing.
00:48:39You should be over it now,
00:48:40my lady.
00:48:41Well,
00:48:42it was possible,
00:48:43considering you were
00:48:43so sincere in your apology.
00:48:46I'll only do this
00:48:47for you.
00:48:48I am going
00:48:49to take a bath.
00:48:53Richard,
00:48:54your hands,
00:48:55when did they get so big?
00:48:56If a warrior's hands
00:48:57aren't thick enough,
00:48:58how could I hold a spear
00:48:59to protect you?
00:49:01They're almost three times
00:49:02the size of my fist.
00:49:04But I'd like to ask,
00:49:05when did you get
00:49:05so fair-skinned?
00:49:07I remember when we were kids.
00:49:08You were quite a dark
00:49:09little girl.
00:49:11Richard Hawthorne,
00:49:12you are asking for it!
00:49:18What are you plotting now?
00:49:20My lawfully wedded wife
00:49:21is right in my arms.
00:49:22I am no St. Lucius
00:49:23who can just sit still.
00:49:25So if any other woman
00:49:26were beside you,
00:49:28would you act like this?
00:49:29Of course not.
00:49:30When have you ever seen me
00:49:31with other women?
00:49:33Since we were kids,
00:49:34besides you,
00:49:35what other girl
00:49:35could get close to me?
00:49:36That is just because
00:49:37no one else wants you.
00:49:38Not necessarily.
00:49:39Your husband is young
00:49:40and successful.
00:49:40I am actually quite popular
00:49:42in the army.
00:49:45Good Julia,
00:49:46your husband doesn't want
00:49:47a cold bath today.
00:49:48I didn't tell you
00:49:48to take one.
00:49:49Julia,
00:49:50do you miss me?
00:49:51Miss you?
00:49:52You are so...
00:49:53Then you promise me
00:49:55that you'll never
00:49:55bully me again.
00:49:56Okay, absolutely not.
00:49:57I swear on my ancestors.
00:49:59Then say it again.
00:50:00I, Richard Hawthorne,
00:50:01will never betray Julia
00:50:02in this life.
00:50:02If I do,
00:50:03may I be pierced
00:50:03by a thousand arrows?
00:50:09Little master,
00:50:10what has gotten
00:50:11into you now?
00:50:12Oh my,
00:50:12our majestic young general.
00:50:14Why are your eyes
00:50:15red again?
00:50:15I don't want
00:50:16to force you.
00:50:17What is wrong?
00:50:18What nonsense
00:50:19have you heard recently?
00:50:20Julia,
00:50:20I want your body.
00:50:22But more importantly,
00:50:23your heart.
00:50:24You,
00:50:24Master Richard,
00:50:25have always been a tyrant
00:50:26since childhood.
00:50:27When did you ever care
00:50:27what others think?
00:50:29I've always respected
00:50:30your thoughts.
00:50:31If you are unwilling,
00:50:32I will never touch you again.
00:50:33From now on,
00:50:34let's just treat each other
00:50:35with polite respect.
00:50:37Hey,
00:50:38are you really ignoring me?
00:50:40Julia,
00:50:41what is wrong with you?
00:50:43He has stopped
00:50:44bothering you.
00:50:45He wants to treat you
00:50:45with respect.
00:50:46Shouldn't you be happy?
00:50:47Why does your heart
00:50:48feel like a tangled mess?
00:50:49Why does it feel so bad?
00:50:51Aaron had Richard,
00:50:52my eldest brother,
00:50:53invited us to see
00:50:53the autumn leaves
00:50:54at Phoenix Hill tomorrow.
00:50:55Do you want to go?
00:50:55Oh,
00:50:56sure.
00:50:56Is that your attitude?
00:50:58If you don't want to go,
00:50:59I'll just go with my brothers.
00:51:00Who said I am not going?
00:51:01Isn't it my duty
00:51:02to accompany my wife?
00:51:09Julia,
00:51:10don't just stare outside.
00:51:12Come on,
00:51:12tell me.
00:51:13Has a certain someone
00:51:14been behaving lately?
00:51:16Lilian,
00:51:16what are you talking about?
00:51:17He is just the same.
00:51:19Hey!
00:51:21Uncle!
00:51:23Oh,
00:51:24you little monkey
00:51:24mixing up your family.
00:51:26That is your aunt's husband,
00:51:27not your uncle.
00:51:29Julia,
00:51:29you've been married
00:51:30for a while now.
00:51:31How are you getting along
00:51:32with Lady Eleanor?
00:51:32I heard Charles is stationed
00:51:33at the border all year.
00:51:34It must be hard for her
00:51:35to raise three kids alone.
00:51:36Eleanor is very straightforward.
00:51:37She treats me very well.
00:51:38Though it is hard for her,
00:51:39she manages the Hawthorne
00:51:40inner court perfectly.
00:51:40The kids are raised
00:51:41to be polite and well-behaved.
00:51:42I admire her
00:51:42from the bottom of my heart.
00:51:43Military families
00:51:44just want peace and stability.
00:51:45Lady Eleanor can hold her own.
00:51:47She is truly a role model
00:51:48for us women.
00:51:49I wonder if the child of mine
00:51:51in Ironhead Richard
00:51:52would look more like me or him.
00:51:54Look at her.
00:51:55Her mind is wandering
00:51:56to some little baby already.
00:51:57If you like kids
00:51:58so much,
00:51:59just have one with
00:52:00General Hawthorne.
00:52:00Then you can hold
00:52:01your baby all day.
00:52:02Eldest sister,
00:52:03what are you talking about?
00:52:04She's right, Julia.
00:52:06My brother-in-law
00:52:06is so well-built.
00:52:07He is built like a tank.
00:52:08You two should work hard on it
00:52:09and give Joey
00:52:10a little cousin to play with.
00:52:11Lillian,
00:52:11you are being ridiculous.
00:52:12I am ignoring you, Bo.
00:52:20Sit tight, little guy.
00:52:22Watch out for the maple branches.
00:52:24This, why is he so different
00:52:26from the siblings
00:52:26I usually see?
00:52:28Brother-in-law,
00:52:29this kind of crazy.
00:52:30Heartwarming scene
00:52:30isn't really meant
00:52:31for guys like us.
00:52:32I am meeting some buddies
00:52:33at the track.
00:52:33I am out.
00:52:40The last time I came here
00:52:41was years ago.
00:52:43When I came with
00:52:44grandmother for the summer.
00:52:47Richard,
00:52:47are you ever going to stop?
00:52:54I thought with your hot temper,
00:52:56you'd find those kids annoying
00:52:57and refuse to come.
00:52:59They are pretty loud
00:53:00and definitely rowdy.
00:53:02But it is a family trip
00:53:03after all.
00:53:06You are the one
00:53:07who said family.
00:53:14Why is he staring at me?
00:53:15Do I still have dirt
00:53:16on my face?
00:53:19Just look at General Hawthorne.
00:53:22He looks more nervous
00:53:23than facing an army
00:53:24in battle.
00:53:26Brother-in-law,
00:53:27your skills are second
00:53:27to none around the capital.
00:53:28But in front of these
00:53:29three little generals,
00:53:30why do you completely
00:53:31freeze up when you
00:53:31have your own kids?
00:53:32They're going to
00:53:32completely wear you out.
00:53:33Ata boy, pull hard.
00:53:35Yank your uncle's
00:53:35jade pendant right off.
00:53:37Daddy will buy you
00:53:37all the candy you want later.
00:53:38Come here, Joey.
00:53:39You are such a good boy.
00:53:40Let your uncle give you a hug.
00:53:41Let some of your kid
00:53:42energy rub off on him.
00:53:43Julia, are you crazy?
00:53:44Take him away.
00:53:44I am too rough.
00:53:45I might hurt him.
00:53:52Out of head, Richard.
00:53:53Look at you now.
00:53:54Way to go.
00:53:55Joey, Uncle Ed.
00:53:56We'll reward you later.
00:54:00All right, all right.
00:54:01Joey, let go of your uncle.
00:54:02Look, you pinched his face
00:54:03all red.
00:54:11Hey, if you think
00:54:12hanging with my big family
00:54:13is too boring,
00:54:15feel free to go.
00:54:17Before it gets dark,
00:54:18go have fun
00:54:19at the track with Ed.
00:54:20Better than being
00:54:20stuck here with me, right?
00:54:21Who said it is boring?
00:54:26I used to love
00:54:27going to your house
00:54:28when we were kids.
00:54:29Didn't you always
00:54:30find me annoying back then
00:54:31and call me a crybaby?
00:54:32Your family was always
00:54:34so lively.
00:54:37I wonder you always
00:54:38came over for meals
00:54:39back then.
00:54:40We couldn't even
00:54:40get rid of you.
00:54:41My mother always said
00:54:42it was like having
00:54:42a little troublemaker
00:54:43of a son.
00:54:44Your mother's
00:54:44sweet rice balls
00:54:45were sweeter than ours.
00:54:47Hey, Julia.
00:54:48While it is still
00:54:49light out,
00:54:50want to go riding?
00:54:51Riding?
00:54:52Right now?
00:54:53I saw you staring
00:54:53at the stables.
00:54:54Your eyes were
00:54:55practically glued there.
00:54:56Think I didn't notice.
00:54:57Of course I do.
00:54:59Ever since the wedding prep,
00:55:00I've been stuck
00:55:00in that chair all day.
00:55:02What are we waiting for?
00:55:03Let's go.
00:55:03I'll help you pick
00:55:04the fastest horse.
00:55:13Richard, hurry up
00:55:14and get in.
00:55:15It is freezing
00:55:15outside these covers.
00:55:20Riding today
00:55:20was such a blast.
00:55:22Too bad.
00:55:22It has been so long
00:55:23since I rode.
00:55:24I am feeling a little rusty.
00:55:25You have the nerve
00:55:25to bring up riding.
00:55:26You haven't matured at all.
00:55:27You are just more reckless.
00:55:28Galloping down
00:55:28that steep slope.
00:55:29My palms were sweating.
00:55:30I was terrified
00:55:31you'd fall off.
00:55:32Well, you get to go out
00:55:33every day.
00:55:33Hang out with friends
00:55:34at camp.
00:55:34Living your best life.
00:55:35While I am stuck
00:55:36in this house all day,
00:55:37I am turning
00:55:37into a bitter wife.
00:55:40I've never seen
00:55:40such a lively,
00:55:41neglected wife.
00:55:42Finally get to let loose.
00:55:43If I still have to act
00:55:44like I am at the manor,
00:55:45following every strict rule,
00:55:46I might as well
00:55:46just stay in my room
00:55:47and sew.
00:55:48By the way,
00:55:49am I still sleepwalking
00:55:50and grinding my teeth?
00:55:51That soothing tea
00:55:52is so bitter.
00:55:53I've been drinking it
00:55:54for days.
00:55:57Oh, about that.
00:55:58I made that up.
00:55:59You actually sleep soundly.
00:56:00You don't sleepwalk
00:56:01at all.
00:56:03What did you say?
00:56:06Richard Hawthorne,
00:56:07you are dead.
00:56:07I can't believe
00:56:08you lied to me.
00:56:09Made me drink
00:56:09a bitter medicine.
00:56:09You jerk.
00:56:10Oh, my bad.
00:56:11My bad.
00:56:11Not so hard.
00:56:12I just noticed
00:56:13you weren't sleeping well
00:56:13and wanted an excuse
00:56:14to make you take
00:56:15your medicine.
00:56:15Big liar.
00:56:17All right, all right.
00:56:18Go to sleep.
00:56:18I'll take you rabbit hunting
00:56:19tomorrow to make it up to you.
00:56:20Hoff,
00:56:21we'll catch the fattest one.
00:56:23Okay?
00:56:33Just look at this courtyard.
00:56:35This little rascal
00:56:36is turning it upside down.
00:56:37So much for peace and quiet.
00:56:42How is our invincible
00:56:44General Hawthorne
00:56:45bewitched by these
00:56:45little troublemakers?
00:56:49This is nice.
00:56:50So lively.
00:56:50Staying in this courtyard
00:56:51all day is no fun at all.
00:56:52In the woods out back,
00:56:53the jinkos are golden
00:56:54and the maples are red.
00:56:55Let's take a walk
00:56:56and let these little monsters
00:56:57burn off some energy.
00:56:58Let's go.
00:56:58We can take the kids
00:56:59to pick up some pretty leaves.
00:57:05Uncle Richard!
00:57:06Aren't I awesome?
00:57:07I just beat
00:57:08all the tree monsters.
00:57:09Yeah, great form.
00:57:11Like a little general.
00:57:15Come on, boys!
00:57:17Take this from Daddy!
00:57:20Take this!
00:57:21Uncle Richard!
00:57:22I am the Falcon Vanguard!
00:57:23I'll take your head!
00:57:24Charge!
00:57:28Richard,
00:57:29what is wrong?
00:57:33Cawful,
00:57:34if you are not feeling well,
00:57:35let's head back.
00:57:39Brother, sister,
00:57:40I am suddenly feeling
00:57:41really dizzy.
00:57:42I guess I didn't sleep
00:57:43well last night.
00:57:44The wind out here
00:57:44is making it worse.
00:57:45Oh, dear!
00:57:46Look at your pale face!
00:57:47Did you catch a chill?
00:57:47I want to go back
00:57:48with him to rest
00:57:49and have some hot tea.
00:57:50Go on back.
00:57:51I'll have the kitchen
00:57:51make ginger soup.
00:57:52Don't push yourself.
00:57:54Let's go.
00:58:04Have some.
00:58:04I just made it.
00:58:06It'll warm you up.
00:58:07We're just here
00:58:08to keep the kids' company anyway.
00:58:09If you are not comfortable here,
00:58:10we'll find an excuse
00:58:11to head back
00:58:12to the capital early.
00:58:14I am fine.
00:58:15I don't want to ruin
00:58:16everyone's fun.
00:58:17Richard.
00:58:19About what happened
00:58:20in the woods,
00:58:20tell me if you want to.
00:58:22It is okay if you don't.
00:58:23Either way,
00:58:24I am here with you.
00:58:28Does our decisive
00:58:29young general
00:58:29have something on his mind?
00:58:31You...
00:58:31How did you know?
00:58:32Even if others...
00:58:34Oh, you.
00:58:35Your joy,
00:58:35your anger,
00:58:36your sorrow.
00:58:37To others,
00:58:37you might just be
00:58:38an immovable iceberg.
00:58:39But to me,
00:58:40even if I just hear you breathe,
00:58:42I know what you are going through.
00:58:47I heard my father and brother
00:58:48mention it once.
00:58:49The defense battle
00:58:50at the north-south border.
00:58:51You were there, right?
00:58:53Richard,
00:58:54look at me.
00:58:56The reason we can enjoy
00:58:57this peaceful autumn
00:58:57and laugh together
00:58:58as a family
00:58:59is because you fought
00:59:00so hard at the frontier
00:59:01to protect it.
00:59:02I am a warrior's daughter.
00:59:03I know what war means.
00:59:05And I know
00:59:06it is not a game.
00:59:07So if you are hurting inside,
00:59:09let yourself hurt.
00:59:10We won't do
00:59:10anything else today.
00:59:11We'll just stay right here.
00:59:14Besides...
00:59:14But what if
00:59:15Big Brother and the rest
00:59:16see us?
00:59:16We're safe right now anyway.
00:59:18I am right here with you.
00:59:19The sky won't fall.
00:59:19Everything will be
00:59:20perfectly fine.
00:59:21Julia,
00:59:23what am I supposed
00:59:23to do from now on?
00:59:25I feel like I can't live
00:59:27without this noisy
00:59:27little girl.
00:59:31I can't drink anymore.
00:59:41Hold it.
00:59:42Study.
00:59:43At least,
00:59:44you are attentive.
00:59:45Look how lovey-dovey
00:59:46they are.
00:59:46So fun to watch.
00:59:47This little show
00:59:47makes the trip worthwhile.
00:59:49Yeah,
00:59:49it is quite a treat.
00:59:50Look at those two.
00:59:51As sweet as can be.
00:59:53Then look at my husband.
00:59:54Not a romantic bone
00:59:55in his body.
00:59:56For you,
00:59:56my lady.
00:59:57Healed perfectly.
00:59:58I'll let you off
00:59:59this time.
