Short filmTranscript
00:00:03Lady Elora Thor, known for her gentle virtue and diligent service, is hereby conferred the title of Countess.
00:00:11So decreed.
00:00:12Long live the King!
00:00:30Little sister? Why?
00:00:32Don't call me sister! You don't deserve it! We're both the Vox daughters! Why do you get everything?
00:00:38If only Lord Lucian had caught my wreath three years ago, this should have all been mine!
00:00:43The glory and wealth you crave are nothing but an illusion.
00:00:49Go fuck yourself!
00:01:00Given another chance, I would gladly give up all these honors.
00:01:08My lord, word has spread throughout the city. Upon hearing the Vox daughters are to choose a husband, many noble
00:01:13young lords are rushing here.
00:01:16Today the House of Vox shall choose a suitor by wreath toss. Whoever catches my daughter's weeds shall have her
00:01:21hand in marriage.
00:01:22Lady Vox tosses to me!
00:01:24House Vox's son-in-law must be of noble birth. You and Seraphina must choose wisely when casting the wreath,
00:01:29but whoever marries well will be to fan pride.
00:01:31I've been reborn back to the day of wreath super selection three years ago.
00:01:35My lady, it's time to toss your wreath.
00:01:40Aldia, let me first!
00:01:41In my past life, Seraphina hesitated and begged me to go first. Why is she acting like this now?
00:01:46It seems Seraphina has been reborn too.
00:01:51This time, only I shall wed Lucian.
00:01:58That is Lucian, the second son of House Thorne!
00:02:00The Thorne family are distant relatives of the royal house! We shall be linked to the crown!
00:02:05This time I've finally changed my fate. In three years, Lucian will be granted a title, and I shall be
00:02:09a noble countess.
00:02:11Seraphina, all your clever schemes have only landed you in the Thorne family's deadly trap.
00:02:18Ha ha ha ha! Excellent!
00:02:21Seraphina has made the family proud!
00:02:24Papa, you flatter me.
00:02:26I only act for our family.
00:02:29Once I become Lady Thorne, I shall bring great glory to our house.
00:02:33Isn't that right, Elder Sister?
00:02:35You're truly blessed, little sister. I truly rejoice for you.
00:02:40Alara, I've stolen your good fortune.
00:02:42I will never live in your shadow again in this life.
00:02:53Wait, isn't that-
00:02:54Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:02:57My lord, if her highness learns you've left the palace dressed like this-
00:03:01My mother keeps pressuring me to choose my queen.
00:03:03I had to sneak out for some peace and experience life as an ordinary man.
00:03:06Go!
00:03:08You win!
00:03:10You win!
00:03:11I won!
00:03:11Come, let us see.
00:03:13Go!
00:03:17In my past life, this peasant stole my wreath.
00:03:20I ran away from my marriage and suffered terribly.
00:03:24Today, I'll make him feel what it's like to be cast aside by his own blood!
00:03:28My lord, now that we're allied with House Thorn, Allura cannot settle for just any suitor.
00:03:38Mama, sister has always been blessed with luck.
00:03:42She'd never bring shame to Papa.
00:03:44I'm certain she'll choose the finest husband there is.
00:03:49Power and wealth are all fleeting.
00:03:51In this life, I only want a good man by my side and a peaceful life.
00:04:07Why him?
00:04:12He's the commoner Serafina refused to marry in her previous life.
00:04:16Good heavens! Of all people, why did a peasant catch your weave?
00:04:21Sister, what awful luck is this?
00:04:24After all that, you choose a peasant.
00:04:27How's Papa supposed to hold his head up?
00:04:31Useless girl!
00:04:33With everyone watching, you throw your wreath to a peasant.
00:04:36You wanted to shame me and our family, didn't you?
00:04:39Well, it's done.
00:04:40Don't be upset, sister.
00:04:42He's low-born but decent-looking.
00:04:45Yet you've been spoiled all your life.
00:04:47With him, you'll have to work for everything now.
00:04:50This will be good.
00:04:51Is the eldest, Miss Vos, really going to marry a peasant?
00:04:55Everyone's watching.
00:04:56If she doesn't marry him, House Vos will lose all credibility.
00:05:00Who'll do business with them after this?
00:05:05Seize her!
00:05:06Don't let her get away!
00:05:07My lord, how come you have the wreath?
00:05:09Throw it away at once!
00:05:12I'm dressed so ragged, she'll never agree to marry me.
00:05:20Sister, why are you running?
00:05:21You threw the wreath yourself.
00:05:23No one forced you.
00:05:24Look at this peasant you've brought upon us!
00:05:27If he becomes Vox's son-in-law, our family's name is ruined!
00:05:31In my past life, I struggled in the Thorn House,
00:05:34used as a pawn by House Vos to climb the nobility.
00:05:37Now, I'd rather marry a commoner and live in peace.
00:05:40The wreath has chosen its match.
00:05:42Even if you don't want to, you must!
00:05:44I will marry him.
00:05:55I am Alara.
00:05:57What's yours?
00:06:00I'm...
00:06:01Sion.
00:06:10With everyone here as my witness,
00:06:12I, Alara, will marry Sion.
00:06:22You truly want to be my wife?
00:06:25What else?
00:06:26The wreath is yours now.
00:06:29Are you backing out?
00:06:32I just...
00:06:33What?
00:06:34I'm not backing out.
00:06:36But I have nothing.
00:06:39Marry me and you'll have no home, no proper food.
00:06:42Do you still want to?
00:06:43We're able-bodied.
00:06:44We can earn what we need.
00:06:45Get a little more serious about work and you'll have no trouble getting by.
00:06:49I've never met a woman so easily contented.
00:06:52A filthy peasant!
00:06:53And you treat him like something precious?
00:06:55Alara, think carefully.
00:06:59Marry a peasant and you ruin your life.
00:07:03Status doesn't make a future.
00:07:05Character does.
00:07:07Sion may be poorly dressed, but he's polite.
00:07:09He could well be a good match.
00:07:11And he doesn't seem to care what other people think.
00:07:14He's not afraid to speak his mind, and he's kind to the servants.
00:07:17You!
00:07:18The wreath chose him.
00:07:20Don't go back on your word now.
00:07:22Aye.
00:07:23Break the rules and you'll lose all respect.
00:07:25The eldest, Miss Vos, has to marry him.
00:07:26Marry him!
00:07:27Marry him!
00:07:28Marry him!
00:07:29If you're so set on this, don't you ever blame the Vos family.
00:07:33You'll have no part in our glory from now on.
00:07:36I understand, Father.
00:07:39The selection is over.
00:07:41You may all leave.
00:07:44Sister, don't say I didn't warn you.
00:07:47Marry a peasant, and you'll always be beneath me.
00:07:50You'd better worry about yourself first.
00:07:53Life with the Thorns won't be as easy as you think.
00:08:00You...
00:08:00Come to the Vosessate in three days to ask for my hand.
00:08:03I'd just be pushed into choosing a consort.
00:08:05If I return to the palace.
00:08:07Very well.
00:08:08I'll be there.
00:08:13On the day of the younger Miss Vos's wedding,
00:08:16her dowry includes a golden-jeweled crown,
00:08:19twelve sets of lace satin gowns,
00:08:22and three deeds for vineyards and wineries
00:08:25on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
00:08:29The younger Miss Vos has a priceless dowry,
00:08:32while the elder Miss Vos has nothing at all.
00:08:35What a huge difference between the two Vos daughters.
00:08:41Sister, if you really marry a beggar,
00:08:44you'll toil for the rest of your life.
00:08:46Wonder if you'll ever get used to it.
00:08:52The groom is here!
00:08:54It's the groom!
00:09:04Truly the younger Master Thorn.
00:09:06What a grand wedding procession.
00:09:08The Thorn family is so powerful.
00:09:10The younger Miss Vos will live in luxury,
00:09:13unlike the elder Miss Vos,
00:09:14who married a beggar and will suffer for the rest of her days.
00:09:17Mr. Vos, Mrs. Vos,
00:09:19my best regards to you both.
00:09:21That's a good lad.
00:09:23Rise, Lucian.
00:09:24My dear boy,
00:09:26your wedding procession is the grandest sight
00:09:28in the entire imperial capital.
00:09:31It is the Vos family's great honour
00:09:33that our Seraphina is so cherished by you.
00:09:36Sister, the Austratus hour is almost past.
00:09:39Where is your husband?
00:09:40Could it be he's too afraid to come?
00:09:50What is he doing?
00:09:52He can't be serious.
00:09:53I humbly greet you, my lord.
00:09:59My lady.
00:10:08My lady.
00:10:10Has he come to beg or to wed?
00:10:13Showing up dressed like this is nothing but a disgrace.
00:10:16Compared to Lord Lucian,
00:10:17it's like heaven versus earth.
00:10:19What on earth are you wearing?
00:10:21In front of all these nobles,
00:10:22you're humiliating me.
00:10:24It's our sister's wedding day,
00:10:25yet you show up dressed like this.
00:10:27You're utterly pathetic.
00:10:29Sister, don't you feel ashamed?
00:10:32Marriage is about sincerity, not looks.
00:10:35The man I, Alara, have chosen
00:10:37cannot be swayed by others' idle words of others.
00:10:40Aren't you ashamed enough?
00:10:42My lord, calm your anger.
00:10:44Once Alara steps through this door today,
00:10:47she will have nothing to do with our Vos family ever again.
00:10:50The auspicious hour for the wedding has arrived.
00:10:52The bride shall board the carriage.
00:11:04Your ma...
00:11:05Shh.
00:11:09My lord.
00:11:11Congratulations.
00:11:12Your noble son-in-law is quite remarkable.
00:11:14Lord Chamberlain.
00:11:15Please come in.
00:11:17Shh.
00:11:19Did you truly walk here?
00:11:21On such a joyous day,
00:11:23you would make your bride walk back with you.
00:11:25I have never heard of such a thing.
00:11:27Truly.
00:11:28Unlike my husband...
00:11:34My lady.
00:11:35I've come to take you home.
00:11:49Before those who love you,
00:11:50I ask you both to speak your vows.
00:11:56Sian...
00:11:57Do you take Alara to be your wife?
00:11:58To love and protect her for all your days?
00:12:01I do.
00:12:02Alara,
00:12:03do you take Sian to be your husband?
00:12:05To stand by him
00:12:07and trust him
00:12:08for all your days?
00:12:09I do.
00:12:13Is this the place you arranged for me?
00:12:17This place is far too shabby.
00:12:21Can anyone actually live here?
00:12:23Your Majesty,
00:12:23this is simply to keep your identity hidden.
00:12:28Vows have been spoken.
00:12:30From this day forward,
00:12:31you are husband and wife.
00:12:35My lady,
00:12:36I apologize for forcing you
00:12:38to live in such humble quarters.
00:12:40I am not troubled at all.
00:12:42This place is peaceful and sheltered.
00:12:45If we keep it clean and tidy from now on,
00:12:48it will grow ever more warm and cozy.
00:12:56I have little of value to offer now.
00:12:58This pendant was left to me by my father
00:13:00and I have carried it always.
00:13:02Now I give it to you.
00:13:04Such a precious thing.
00:13:06And you give it to me?
00:13:12You may rest assured.
00:13:14I will keep it safe.
00:13:34I want you.
00:13:45You are already becoming damp here.
00:13:50Do you want me?
00:14:06You are everything to me.
00:14:23I love you, too.
00:14:28You like that?
00:14:35Should I stop?
00:14:37No stopping.
00:14:50You are awake.
00:14:51Breakfast is ready.
00:14:52Come and eat.
00:14:59Where are you going?
00:15:02Today is the day I return home as a new bride.
00:15:04The gloves I embroidered for my parents
00:15:05still need a few more stitches.
00:15:07I have to go buy thread and needles
00:15:08to finish them before we get home.
00:15:11All right, I'll go with you.
00:15:21Your Majesty!
00:15:28Your Majesty!
00:15:32Who are they?
00:15:34The royal court is far too complicated.
00:15:36I'll tell Alita about my identity
00:15:38once everything is settled.
00:15:40They're...
00:15:41They're here for Felix.
00:15:43He once served in the palace.
00:15:44And these are old acquaintances.
00:15:57Alara, I need to help Felix receive his guests.
00:16:00Will you be all right going to buy a loan?
00:16:06All right.
00:16:16Speak.
00:16:17What is the matter?
00:16:18The Queen Dowager is deeply troubled for you, Your Majesty.
00:16:21She has suddenly fainted.
00:16:22What?
00:16:23Felix, stay here and protect Alara.
00:16:26Return to the palace with me.
00:16:30Send someone to select valuable gifts for the Vos estate,
00:16:33saying they are Alara's presents for her family visit.
00:16:38Yes, Your Majesty.
00:16:39Let us go.
00:16:42Father, Mother, your daughter has returned.
00:16:49Sister, why have you come back alone?
00:16:55Father, Mother Yorta has returned.
00:16:58Is this?
00:16:59Why have you come back alone?
00:17:01Today is the family Fongwen Day.
00:17:03Could be that you're ashamed of your peasant husband
00:17:05and begin that Kohimtelai.
00:17:07My husband wished to come,
00:17:08but he was called away on urgent business.
00:17:11Miss Alara,
00:17:11you must have suffered greatly since marrying a peasant.
00:17:14You've gotten so thin.
00:17:15If you hadn't married that peasant,
00:17:17I might have taken you as my mistress.
00:17:19You wouldn't be in this state now.
00:17:20You needn't trouble yourselves.
00:17:21I am living quite well.
00:17:22As for you, sister,
00:17:23you haven't seen your own husband in days, have you?
00:17:26You!
00:17:27Damn Lucian.
00:17:28He went corralling on our wedding night,
00:17:30making it public knowledge.
00:17:32I've been thoroughly humiliated.
00:17:34Serafina.
00:17:35Papa!
00:17:36Mama!
00:17:38Father, Mother.
00:17:39How dare you come back alone?
00:17:41What is your husband doing all day?
00:17:42He won't even accompany you on your family visit.
00:17:45Mother, you give him far too much credit.
00:17:46That peasant is probably begging in the streets right now.
00:17:49He cannot be compared to my husband.
00:17:52Sir, I have brought something for you.
00:17:55Our Serafina has made such a fine match.
00:17:57It's the greatest blessing for our daughter to have wed such a worthy man.
00:18:01Not like some who chose a peasant for a husband.
00:18:04After all the Vos has done for you, you return with nothing?
00:18:06Quite so.
00:18:07Sis, this is my homecoming gift.
00:18:09Surely you're not so destitute you can't even bring a proper offering for your own family?
00:18:17Father, Mother.
00:18:18Father, these are gloves I embroidered myself.
00:18:20Get out, you worthless thing!
00:18:25Sister, how dare you show your face with nothing but these tattered rags you stitch up?
00:18:29What else can you expect from someone married to a peasant?
00:18:31Her gifts match her status.
00:18:33Let it be.
00:18:34She's wed to a peasant now.
00:18:35What decent gift could we possibly expect from her?
00:18:38My lord, my lady, a gift has been sent by your son-in-law.
00:18:41He says it is a homecoming gift from the elder Miss Vox.
00:18:46My lord, which powerful noble has the elder Miss Vox won over?
00:18:50The steward from the palace sent me here personally.
00:18:53You must have great influence indeed.
00:18:58That was sent by the king himself.
00:19:00The king's own steward gave the order personally.
00:19:05This is for the elder Miss Vox.
00:19:12Mr. Morea, you must be mistaken.
00:19:15Everyone in the capital knows Elamra married a peasant.
00:19:18How could she have ties to the palace?
00:19:21This gift must surely be sent in honor of the younger Master Thorn.
00:19:24Quite right.
00:19:25Plenty of people across the realm seek to curry favor with House Thorn,
00:19:28even those in the palace.
00:19:30Please accept this, my lord.
00:19:32Serafina has truly married well.
00:19:34Just look at this grand homecoming and all these fine gifts.
00:19:37They honor the House of Vox.
00:19:39Yes, I have delivered the gifts.
00:19:41I shall take my leave, my lord.
00:19:43Farewell, Mr. Morea.
00:19:47Sister, my lord has brought such fine gifts.
00:19:50Aren't you ashamed to stand there beside them?
00:19:54It's not the value that matters, but the sincerity.
00:19:57I see nothing wrong with what I've done.
00:19:59I spared no effort raising you.
00:20:02And this is how you repay me.
00:20:05Marrying a peasant and insulting me with these trickets!
00:20:09House Vox has no place for a daughter as worthless as you!
00:20:14Is this why you humiliate me so?
00:20:16Simply because I married Kale?
00:20:18Serafina thinks of the family.
00:20:19You've only shamed House Vox by marrying a peasant!
00:20:21What honor!
00:20:23You only favor her because she married a nobleman.
00:20:26To you, your daughters are nothing but pawns to climb higher!
00:20:28How dare you speak to me like this!
00:20:39The Royal Eagle Pendant!
00:20:47I must go and inform the king at once.
00:20:52Give it back to me!
00:20:56This pendant is of fine quality.
00:20:58Did you steal it, sister?
00:21:00That pendant was given to me by Sian.
00:21:03Give it back!
00:21:04A peasant like him could never own something so fine.
00:21:08He must have stolen it.
00:21:09How dare you judge so quickly!
00:21:11Just because Kian is not of your station doesn't mean he can't possess this!
00:21:16You cling to a trinket from a peasant.
00:21:18How ignorant!
00:21:19You can have the pendant back.
00:21:21Only if you renounce House Vox.
00:21:25Father!
00:21:26How can you let Serafina act so wildly?
00:21:29I am your own daughter too!
00:21:31You chose to marry a peasant and brought shame upon us!
00:21:35You are no daughter of mine!
00:21:37Seperthina is my only daughter!
00:21:42All I want is to live with someone who truly loves me.
00:21:45Simple days are better than this cold cruelty in the Vox.
00:21:48If that is how it is.
00:21:57I, Alara, sever all ties with House Vox.
00:22:00We are no longer family.
00:22:09Choosing a peasant over your own blood.
00:22:12Good ridden to you.
00:22:14That is what you truly think, Father.
00:22:16Father, why should I stay and be a nuisance?
00:22:21Hold!
00:22:22It's too late for you to leave now.
00:22:24Servants!
00:22:25Bring the hot coals from the kitchen and spread them on the floor.
00:22:32Gizzery.
00:22:33What are you doing?
00:22:36Your Majesty, Miss Alara is in danger at House Vox.
00:22:45You were raised by House Vox.
00:22:47If you wish to sever ties, you must first repay our kindness.
00:22:51My Lady, you speak truly.
00:22:54Looking at you now, you have nothing of value to offer.
00:22:57You shall walk across these coals barefoot instead.
00:23:00These coals burn so fiercely.
00:23:02How could anyone survive that?
00:23:04I will not.
00:23:10Oh?
00:23:12So it seems you no longer want this pendant.
00:23:15Don't throw it!
00:23:17Kale is the only one who has ever truly cared for me.
00:23:21This pendant belonged to his father.
00:23:23I cannot let his gift be disgraced.
00:23:27I'll do it.
00:23:28I'll walk.
00:23:39For a peasant, you would go this far?
00:23:43You've lost your mind!
00:23:44All this for a worthless trinket.
00:23:46Even the privileged Elder Miss Vox would walk across fire.
00:23:49No wonder she was foolish enough to marry a peasant.
00:23:52A peasant has little of worth.
00:23:54This pendant must be his most prized possession.
00:23:57No wonder you cling to it, sister.
00:23:59This pendant was left to me by my father.
00:24:01And I have carried it always.
00:24:03Now I give it to you.
00:24:08My Lady, wait for me.
00:24:11Kale, rest assured.
00:24:13I will get the pendant back.
00:24:27Now, can you give me the pendant back?
00:24:29Want it?
00:24:31Then crawl for it.
00:24:33As long as you crawl,
00:24:36the pendant is yours.
00:24:49Look at you.
00:24:50This pendant was left to me by my father.
00:24:53And I have carried it always.
00:24:54Now I give it to you.
00:24:55You may rest assured.
00:24:57I will keep it safe.
00:25:19I will keep it safe.
00:25:26You cherish your relationship with that peasant so much.
00:25:30If your face is disfigured,
00:25:31will your beloved husband still want you?
00:25:34You!
00:25:36Why are you glaring at me?
00:25:38I've long said it.
00:25:40Marry a peasant.
00:25:41And you'll end up being trampled on!
00:25:44You go to such lengths to torment me.
00:25:47Do you really think you'll get what you want?
00:25:50I want you to live in the gutter for the rest of your life.
00:25:53Watching me become the most noble woman in the world.
00:26:07Behold the king!
00:26:14What?
00:26:16Who dares to touch my wife?
00:26:24Hey, Laura.
00:26:26I'm sorry.
00:26:27I'm late.
00:26:30Kael.
00:26:33I didn't lose your pendant.
00:26:36I was told the king was coming.
00:26:38Why is it him?
00:26:39This peasant, dressed so finely.
00:26:42Are these men royal guards?
00:26:44Why do they obey him?
00:26:46Mother, I heard his brother serves in the palace.
00:26:49Borrowing fine clothes is nothing.
00:26:51He must be putting on a show after being shamed at the wedding.
00:26:55Ridiculous!
00:26:55A peasant dares to put on a show in Vos Manor.
00:26:59Sister, your husband is already pathetic.
00:27:02Yet you dare steal royal treasures.
00:27:04If the king learns, will you two even live?
00:27:07You stubborn fools.
00:27:09You court death!
00:27:12Let's check!
00:27:17What do you want to do?
00:27:19Hey, Laura.
00:27:19Let's go.
00:27:23Laura, what's wrong?
00:27:29Who did this?
00:27:32I did.
00:27:33So what?
00:27:35I was only helping my sister.
00:27:37I never thought she'd be stupid enough to walk on hot coals for a worthless trinket.
00:27:41Shut up!
00:27:44Who are you to dare speak to me like this?
00:27:46So what if I insult her?
00:27:48She married a peasant.
00:27:50As Lady Thorn, you're nothing but insects.
00:27:52Even if I killed you today, you'd thank me on your knees.
00:27:55Let's see how much longer you can act.
00:27:57Seize this peasant and Alara.
00:28:00Get him!
00:28:02Stay away from him.
00:28:03Are you alright?
00:28:09Stand back!
00:28:10No!
00:28:13Dare to harm what's mine!
00:28:15Seize them!
00:28:23How dare you!
00:28:24I am Lady Thorn!
00:28:30My lord, help me!
00:28:32Guards!
00:28:33Whoever kills him shall have ten gold coins!
00:28:41Wretch!
00:28:42Lord Lucian is a distant relative of the royal family.
00:28:46If you dare lay a hand on him, you make an enemy of the Thorn.
00:28:50Royal kin or not.
00:28:52Harm my wife and you die!
00:28:57Cease this farce at once.
00:28:59Release me before I lose my temper and I may spare your life.
00:29:03You have tormented Alaxa horribly.
00:29:05Hold their faces in the fire!
00:29:07Guards!
00:29:08Guards!
00:29:11Get off of me!
00:29:13Stop!
00:29:14When the king's court arrives, you will...
00:29:16You will pay dearly!
00:29:20See?
00:29:21My brother is the high judge of the realm.
00:29:24Offend me today and you will not live.
00:29:26We shall see who in the high court dares to shield you.
00:29:29Continue!
00:29:33Help me!
00:29:34No!
00:29:36Serafina!
00:29:37No!
00:29:38Fool!
00:29:39If you want to die, don't drag the Vos family down with you!
00:29:43Cease this at once!
00:29:46Brother, help me!
00:29:49Help me!
00:30:04You dare lay hands on my brother?
00:30:07Brother, help me!
00:30:11What are the king's personal guard doing here?
00:30:13It is me!
00:30:15That voice...
00:30:17Could it be...
00:30:20The king!
00:30:24The king!
00:30:27The king?
00:30:28The king?
00:30:29How could this peasant be the king?
00:30:31Brother!
00:30:32Don't be fooled by this peasant.
00:30:34His clothes are stolen.
00:30:36And these men are just paid thugs.
00:30:38Yes.
00:30:39You've only just taken office.
00:30:41It's easy to mistake him.
00:30:43He's truly a commoner.
00:30:45He cannot be the king!
00:30:46That's right.
00:30:47How could the king be here?
00:30:49Foolish girl!
00:30:51Look at the man you married!
00:30:52You've angered the Thorn!
00:30:54How will you end this?
00:30:56Lord Thorn, you must avenge us!
00:30:58This peasant and Alara are trying to kill us!
00:31:02Outrageous!
00:31:03How dare you run amok in the capital!
00:31:05Seize them!
00:31:05And throw them in prison for torture!
00:31:08Halt!
00:31:09What have you to say for yourself?
00:31:11I was unaware the office of High Judge had been given to you!
00:31:16You lowly cur!
00:31:17How dare you question a royal official!
00:31:20My brother was appointed High Judge by the king's mother herself.
00:31:24Now you fear for your life!
00:31:26To deceive even the Queen Dowda!
00:31:29The Thorn family has some nerve!
00:31:33Your Highness, you must avenge me!
00:31:36His Majesty has secretly pledged marriage to the elder Miss Voss outside the palace!
00:31:41What?
00:31:42He even flew into a rage at me in public for that woman!
00:31:46His Majesty has married outside the palace?
00:31:52Prepare my carriage!
00:31:57Insolence!
00:31:58How dare you treat Hermidenus with such disrespect!
00:32:02How many heads do you have to dare act so recklessly?
00:32:06Lord Thorn, I beg you to see clearly, Elora is no longer one of us.
00:32:13The Voss family bears no responsibility for anything she says.
00:32:17That's right, Lord Thorn.
00:32:19We, Voss, have always abided by the law.
00:32:22We would never dare to speak ill of the royal family.
00:32:25You must see the truth!
00:32:26Impersonating royalty is a capital offense.
00:32:30You must not let them go, my lord.
00:32:32Elora, your husband has committed a heinous crime.
00:32:36No one can save you today!
00:32:39I cannot let Sian come to harm.
00:32:42Mercy, my lord.
00:32:43My husband did not mean to offend.
00:32:45My husband.
00:32:46Elora!
00:32:51Elora, let's go.
00:32:53Guards!
00:32:54Stop them!
00:32:55Stand back, or you'll all be killed.
00:32:58Yes, my lord!
00:33:03I think you can leave.
00:33:04Not so easy.
00:33:22Sian!
00:33:24Sian!
00:33:24Serafina, how can you be so cruel?
00:33:27Sian has done nothing to you.
00:33:30This peasant tried to have my face ruined.
00:33:33I'll never let you get away with this!
00:33:35Sian!
00:33:38Stop staring.
00:33:40Your men are too busy to save you now.
00:33:43You're asking for death!
00:33:44Sian!
00:33:47Go, now, while you can!
00:33:51Elora, no.
00:33:52Leave?
00:33:53Does he think he can?
00:33:54God!
00:33:56Serafina, why won't you just leave me be?
00:34:00You're so lucky, sister.
00:34:02Even a peasant loves you truly.
00:34:04But the happier you are, the less I want you to have it!
00:34:07You!
00:34:09Serafina, our quarrel has nothing to do with others.
00:34:13Do what you want to me.
00:34:15But please, let Sian go.
00:34:17Elora, don't waste words on her.
00:34:18I can't drag you into this!
00:34:21How touching.
00:34:21Even now, you still have time to flirt with this peasant.
00:34:25Since you love each other so deeply.
00:34:29I'll send you both together!
00:34:31Hurry up and finish them.
00:34:33Go to hell!
00:34:35Elora, look out!
00:34:38The Queen Dowdra!
00:34:42Who dares touch my son, the King?
00:34:48Is he truly the King?
00:34:52He is really the King.
00:34:55Elora!
00:34:56Elora!
00:34:56Fetch the royal medicine!
00:34:58Hurry!
00:34:59Your Majesty!
00:35:01Felix, take Elora back to the palace at once for treatment.
00:35:05If anything happens to her, there will be hell to pay.
00:35:09Yes, Your Majesty.
00:35:18Your Majesty, the entire Vos family has been arrested.
00:35:22My son.
00:35:24Your Majesty.
00:35:26What?
00:35:27You called him...
00:35:28The King?
00:35:28But he's just a peasant!
00:35:30By my order, Elias Vos and his family shall be executed on the spot!
00:35:37My lady!
00:35:38My lady!
00:35:41Darius, as the High Judge of the Realm, has abused his power and aided the wicked.
00:35:47From this day forth, he is stripped of his title and shall be imprisoned in the dungeons alongside Lucien.
00:35:54Mercy, Your Majesty!
00:35:56Mercy, Your Majesty!
00:35:57Spare me, Your Highness.
00:35:59Spare me, Your Majesty.
00:36:01I was too blind to recognize you.
00:36:06Did you ever think this day would come when you humiliated Elora?
00:36:11Even in this second life, I've chosen wrong again.
00:36:14Your Highness, my crimes were instigated by the Vos family!
00:36:18Your Highness, for the sake of my father, spare me one time, Elthorne.
00:36:22Spare us, Your Majesty and Your Highness.
00:36:24I beg mercy of Your Majesty and Your Highness.
00:36:27Spare us, Your Highness.
00:36:30Your Majesty.
00:36:33The two Thorn sons are foolish, but not the masterminds.
00:36:37They deserve leniency.
00:36:38As for the Vos, common as they are, executing the entire household is excessive.
00:36:44Elora is gravely injured.
00:36:46You should go and tend to her.
00:37:14I'm fine, Elora.
00:37:19I'm fine, Elora.
00:37:43Lie back first.
00:37:44The Royal Physician said you mustn't strain your wound.
00:37:46The Royal Physician?
00:37:49What do you mean?
00:37:52Are we in the palace right now?
00:37:54Yes.
00:37:55The Queen Dowager saved us.
00:37:58The Queen Down Dowager?
00:38:01You intend to make Elora your queen?
00:38:04Yes, Mother.
00:38:06Elora and I have pledged ourselves to each other in secret.
00:38:09I will never allow it!
00:38:10Whether you approve or not, I will make Elorna my queen.
00:38:20If you truly insist on making her your queen, she must pass my test.
00:38:26You!
00:38:28If you truly insist on making her your queen, she must pass my test.
00:38:32But until then, she must never learn your true identity.
00:38:35Otherwise, I will find countless ways to keep you apart.
00:38:38Her Highness was out riding and passed Vos Manor.
00:38:40She saved us.
00:38:42What about my father and the others?
00:38:44Her Highness ordered their punishment.
00:38:47Lucien received 50 lashes.
00:38:48His constitution was already weak from constant debauchery.
00:38:51He fainted on the spot and is now under house arrest.
00:38:55Your sister has been sent to the Royal House of Correction for hard labor.
00:38:59As for your father and the rest, they have all been exiled.
00:39:03Exiled?
00:39:04Don't worry, Elora.
00:39:05I will protect you from now on.
00:39:07I'll serve as a palace guard, and you'll work in the Royal Maid's Quarters.
00:39:11Okay.
00:39:12We'll work here for three to five years, and when we've saved enough, we'll leave the palace and live a
00:39:16simple life.
00:39:17Elora, I hope you can forgive me.
00:39:27See, what's wrong?
00:39:31Is it your wound?
00:39:35The wound on your back?
00:39:40It's all because of me.
00:39:46It's nothing.
00:39:47Just a slight pull.
00:39:50It doesn't hurt.
00:39:53Don't lie.
00:39:55I saw the blood.
00:39:57You only got hurt protecting me.
00:40:00Gail, I'm so sorry.
00:40:02It means you can know right now.
00:40:03Don't ever do that again.
00:40:05It breaks my heart.
00:40:06Do you understand?
00:40:11My sweet girl.
00:40:12It doesn't matter.
00:40:14As long as you're safe, it's all worth it.
00:40:17Elora, with you by my side, I fear no wound.
00:40:23Just heal well.
00:40:24When you're better, we'll face everything together, all right?
00:40:31I'll take good care of you, too.
00:40:33I won't let you hurt anymore.
00:40:37This is the housekeeping department.
00:40:41Elora, I'll come see you whenever I can.
00:40:43All right.
00:40:47You're matched.
00:40:57You're here at the housekeeping department.
00:40:59Why didn't you let me know beforehand?
00:41:01This is Lady Elena, head maid of the housekeeping department.
00:41:06If you need anything, just let her know.
00:41:10Greetings, Lady Elena.
00:41:12This is Elora, a new maid.
00:41:15I'd be grateful if you could look after her, Lady Elena.
00:41:17You have my word.
00:41:18I shall take good care of Lady Elora and see she is given no heavy work.
00:41:28Sian, I came here to be a maid.
00:41:31So why do I feel more like a lady?
00:41:38She's...
00:41:41She's probably...
00:41:42Kind.
00:41:49Ilarra, come with me.
00:41:54Go ahead.
00:42:05You, wash all these clean.
00:42:09We're all maids here, and the work is assigned fairly.
00:42:12Why should I do your share?
00:42:14Don't you dare ask!
00:42:15It's all because of you that I'm stuck cleaning the chamber pots.
00:42:18God knows what underhanded tricks you use to get in here.
00:42:21And Lady Elena just handed you all the light work on a silver platter.
00:42:44Give it back to me!
00:42:51Give it back to me!
00:42:55What king?
00:42:56Just give it back to me.
00:42:58Give it back to me!
00:43:03Let go of me!
00:43:05It hurts!
00:43:06Give it back!
00:43:07Give it back!
00:43:18You vile wretch!
00:43:23Seize her at once!
00:43:25Ah!
00:43:31I didn't steal it.
00:43:33The pendant really is mine.
00:43:35Stop your crying!
00:43:36You look, you're crying!
00:43:39You lowly thing, still dare to argue?
00:43:42Cease this instant!
00:43:50Your Highness.
00:43:52The housekeeping department are humble.
00:43:54I fear it may harm your royal person.
00:43:57Allow me to announce you first.
00:43:59There is no need.
00:44:00I have disguised myself as head maid to see Allura's true nature with my own eyes.
00:44:04She must not learn my identity.
00:44:06Cease this instant!
00:44:18Palace rules are strict.
00:44:21I leave but a moment.
00:44:23And you grow so bold?
00:44:25What place do you think this is?
00:44:27Lady Elena, Elara, has stolen a royal pendant!
00:44:33Theft is the worst crime in the palace.
00:44:36Fearing exposure?
00:44:39She tried to harm me!
00:44:41She tried to harm me!
00:44:42You must punish her severely!
00:44:45Lady Elena, hear me out.
00:44:47It is not what it seems.
00:44:49Enough!
00:44:50Bring me the pendant.
00:44:54This pendant is mine.
00:44:56I said, hand over the pendant!
00:45:11Royal eagle pendant!
00:45:13This truly belongs to the king!
00:45:16The king has actually given her something so vital.
00:45:24If she dares steal the king's own pendant, who knows what she'll do next.
00:45:27By palace law, theft worth more than one gold coin calls for the left foot to be cut off, and
00:45:33the mark of a thief branded on her face.
00:45:36Madam, this pendant was a gift from my dearest one.
00:45:39I never stole it.
00:45:41I truly had no idea.
00:45:44It belonged to the king.
00:45:46If this pendant is proven to be the king's, his identity will be exposed.
00:45:51One piece of evidence alone does not prove theft.
00:45:55I will uncover the truth.
00:45:58Until then, the pendant shall remain in my custody.
00:46:03If you are innocent, you shall have justice.
00:46:06Thank you, madam.
00:46:08This is the new head maid, Vera.
00:46:11She will oversee the housekeeping department with me from now on.
00:46:14All of you behave yourselves.
00:46:15Anyone found slacking or causing trouble will be punished by palace law.
00:46:21Yes.
00:46:25You've caused quite a disturbance.
00:46:27As punishment, you shall clean the chamber pops.
00:46:30Until you've finished, only then may you eat.
00:46:36Yes, madam.
00:46:45That should do it.
00:46:52Your Majesty, Lady Cordelia has arrived at the palace again.
00:46:56Will you see her?
00:46:57No.
00:46:58Send her back where she came from.
00:47:01Leave me.
00:47:02I am going to see Alara.
00:47:04If you come with me, my cover will be blown.
00:47:12Alara.
00:47:15Kale?
00:47:16Why are you here?
00:47:17How could Lady Elena make you do such work?
00:47:19I'm going to have a word with her.
00:47:24I'm going to find her.
00:47:27Kale?
00:47:30It's just cleaning chamber pots.
00:47:33It's nothing.
00:47:35Alara.
00:47:36I-I...
00:47:41I hate to see you treated this way.
00:47:43I will get you out of here as soon as I can.
00:47:47Oh, that's right.
00:47:49What exactly is the pendant you gave me?
00:47:51Why do they all keep saying it belongs to the King?
00:47:53I...
00:47:53My father once served as a palace guard.
00:47:56He was awarded this pendant by the King as a reward for his service.
00:47:58That's why it bears the royal mark.
00:48:00I see.
00:48:01They kept going on about it being the King's.
00:48:03I thought you might have lied to me.
00:48:08Who goes there?
00:48:11You must go at once.
00:48:13It's Lady Vera.
00:48:14Don't let her see you.
00:48:15Tomorrow.
00:48:16I shall come to see you tomorrow.
00:48:19I shall come to see you tomorrow.
00:48:19I shall come to see you tomorrow.
00:48:26Madam's, all the chamber pots have been cleaned.
00:48:28Finished?
00:48:30Then you shall sweep the entire backyard.
00:48:34Yes.
00:48:37I'm finally done.
00:48:46Why are you throwing my things away?
00:48:48Lady Vera has given her direct order.
00:48:50You must bring her a pot of tea brewed with morning dew at first light,
00:48:52and it must be a full jug.
00:48:54Morning dew?
00:48:55A whole jug?
00:48:59Morning dew?
00:49:00A whole jug?
00:49:04Everyone heard me.
00:49:05I'm not making this up.
00:49:07Why is Lady Vera targeting me like this?
00:49:10Lady Vera has been merciful enough not to punish you for stealing the pendant.
00:49:14Collecting morning dew is a light task.
00:49:16You should be grateful.
00:49:17The pendant was never stolen.
00:49:19How dare you slander me?
00:49:21If it wasn't stolen, did the king gave it to you personally?
00:49:26Hey, Lara.
00:49:29Who did this?
00:49:32Steward Felix.
00:49:34Why is he here?
00:49:36Could it be that he's...
00:49:37You dare!
00:49:40Your majesty.
00:49:42Your ma...
00:49:42Your majesty.
00:49:47You're the king.
00:49:50You're the king.
00:49:55How dare you, God!
00:49:57But until then, she must never learn your true identity.
00:49:59Otherwise, I will find countless ways to keep you apart.
00:50:07I meant no offence.
00:50:08I only rushed forward because I saw someone was hurt.
00:50:12Thank goodness he's not the king.
00:50:14But doesn't Stuart Felix stay by the king's side at all times?
00:50:18Stuart Felix, what on earth is going on here?
00:50:20This young guard bears quite a resemblance to the king.
00:50:22I've specially brought him to the palace for questioning.
00:50:25How dare you, Ignakummer, ignore the rules?
00:50:27The maid quarters are no place for random trespassers.
00:50:31I plead guilty, Your Grace.
00:50:36Guard, now that you know you're in the wrong, leave at once.
00:50:46As for you.
00:50:48Having an affair with a guard is such a serious matter, yet headmaid Vera only made her kneel
00:50:53as punishment.
00:50:53She even covered up the pendant thrift last time.
00:50:56One can't help but wonder who is backing her behind the seals.
00:50:58If his majesty the king found out someone stole his pendant, what do you think he would do to her?
00:51:23You're freezing, aren't you?
00:51:25My dearest, you've suffered so.
00:51:33Don't worry, I'm alright.
00:51:39It's far worse than it looks.
00:51:41You tend to her wounds at once.
00:51:42I shall stand guard outside.
00:51:51Mmm, it hurts a little.
00:51:55I'm so sorry, I'll be more careful.
00:51:56Alright?
00:52:02Kale.
00:52:07Don't be afraid.
00:52:09Tonight it's just you and me here.
00:52:11I'll only cherish you, and never let you suffer a single harm again.
00:52:16Such a lovely form, and yet it's been made to bear these wounds.
00:52:22My dearest, Laura.
00:52:25I shall go inform his majesty at once that it was Ilara who stole his pendant.
00:52:30He will show her no mercy.
00:52:40What has happened to my face?
00:52:48You fool!
00:52:49What have you put in the tea?
00:52:51It's a remedy I begged from the court herbalist, said to beautify the skin.
00:52:55I only wish to do Lady Vera kindness, that's all.
00:52:57I wasn't thinking straight.
00:52:59How dare you feed someone something you know nothing about?
00:53:02If these rashes don't go away, your life won't be enough to pay for it.
00:53:08Servants, seize her and sell her off.
00:53:11Have mercy, madam!
00:53:12Spare me, please!
00:53:21Madam, please allow me to try.
00:53:26You?
00:53:27I've studied medical texts and can mix a herbal remedy.
00:53:29It might ease the rash.
00:53:31If my treatment works, I beg you to spare Mayev's life, madam.
00:53:43His majesty has barely paid me any mind for so long.
00:53:45I hear he's been frequenting the housekeeping department lately.
00:53:49Tell me, who could possibly be there to hold his attention so completely?
00:53:53I don't know.
00:53:56Speak!
00:54:02I remember now.
00:54:04There is indeed a maid there.
00:54:06Oh?
00:54:11It still looks unsightly, but the rashes have faded somewhat.
00:54:15You do possess some skill.
00:54:19Thank you for your praise, madam.
00:54:21In six more hours, the rashes will vanish completely.
00:54:26Allura!
00:54:27What do you want now?
00:54:30If not you, I would have been sold away.
00:54:32I wronged you before.
00:54:32I will accept any scolding or punishment you give me.
00:54:39Why would I scold you?
00:54:41So you forgive me?
00:54:44You are not truly wicked.
00:54:46Only far too sharp-tongued.
00:54:50Come.
00:54:53Your Highness,
00:54:54His Majesty insists on making Allura his queen.
00:54:57This is clearly no fleeting infatuation.
00:54:59She is truly extraordinary.
00:55:05Let's go have some pastries together.
00:55:08It's her!
00:55:12So you are the one who has ensangled the king.
00:55:17You have such a bewitching face.
00:55:19No wonder you are restless.
00:55:22It is one thing for the king to marry someone outside the palace.
00:55:25But how dare a lowly maid like you harbor improper thoughts?
00:55:29When did Allura ever seduce His Majesty?
00:55:33Maeve, have you forgotten what we suffered because of her?
00:55:36Allura never sought trouble with me.
00:55:38It is you who have been picking on her on purpose all along.
00:55:42Do you know who I am or how big of a mistake you just made?
00:55:46Seize them!
00:55:49The woman before you is Lady Cordelia, daughter of the Duke of Clifton.
00:55:53The Queen Dowger's chosen wide for the king.
00:55:56You fools.
00:55:57Lady Cordelia, as a Duke's daughter, you must be reasonable.
00:56:01We have never even laid eyes of the king.
00:56:03How could there be any seduction?
00:56:05Leela tells me you have not only seduced the king, but also consorted with gods.
00:56:10I cannot let you keep that face.
00:56:12Press this bitch onto the thorns.
00:56:14Let her feel the agony of flesh torn open.
00:56:17See if she dares to lure anyone ever again.
00:56:23It hurts!
00:56:24Let me go!
00:56:27Why are you crying?
00:56:29Wretched thing.
00:56:30That alluring face of yours deserves to be ruined.
00:56:33Leela, bring me the knife.
00:56:37Stop!
00:56:38Stop!
00:56:46Madam!
00:56:48Madam!
00:56:48The maid quarters belongs to the inner palace.
00:56:51Since when is it your place to meddle here?
00:56:55How dare an old maid like you speak insolently to me?
00:56:59Cordelia, how dare you?
00:57:01The king and I have been childhood sweethearts.
00:57:03I am his only destined queen.
00:57:05This palace will be mine sooner or later.
00:57:07Punishing one lowly maid is nothing.
00:57:09Absurd!
00:57:10Do you know who stands before you?
00:57:12You are nothing but a lowborn maid.
00:57:14I will teach you your place.
00:57:17Seize her too!
00:57:20Leela, dare you!
00:57:21I never imagined you had such a venomous heart.
00:57:25I, the king's mother, have truly misjudged you.
00:57:29You still dare to call yourself the king's mother.
00:57:40I will kill you.
00:57:41Disfigured old woman.
00:57:42You still dare claim the title of the king's mother.
00:57:44You are begging for death!
00:57:46It seems you refuse to repent.
00:57:49What sin have I committed?
00:57:50You were born humble, servants in the palace.
00:57:52To defy your superiors is to court death.
00:57:55Lady Cordelia, the inner palace is governed by the king and the king's mother.
00:57:59Punishing maids without authorations violates palace rules.
00:58:01I beg you to show mercy.
00:58:03As head maid, you indulge lowly maids in seducing the king.
00:58:07You set a corrupt example and flout all rules.
00:58:11Bring the whip!
00:58:26Next month marks the royal spring garden party, where all peers and dignitaries shall attend.
00:58:31See that every detail is executed flawlessly.
00:58:34Rest assured, your majesty, I shall devote myself entirely to this task.
00:58:43How dare you!
00:58:44Disturbing the king!
00:58:45Do you know your crime?
00:58:47Your majesty!
00:58:50Your majesty!
00:58:51I beg you!
00:58:54Save Alara!
00:58:55To the servants' hall!
00:58:57They'll beat her to death!
00:58:59What did you say?
00:59:02Alara is in danger!
00:59:16What are you doing?
00:59:18I am the one who angered Lady Cordelia.
00:59:22I do not wish for you to be punished unjustly.
00:59:26You love playing the hero.
00:59:28Then I shall grant your wish today.
00:59:33Ah!
00:59:35Enough, Cordelia!
00:59:36I warn you not to go too far, or else...
00:59:39You still dare speak in such a tone, wretched servant.
00:59:44Today, I will teach you proper manners in her highness's stead.
00:59:48Cordelia!
00:59:53Do you know who it is you are about to strike with?
00:59:57Your majesty!
01:00:00Your highness.
01:00:01Your highness.
01:00:03Your highness.
01:00:04Your highness!
01:00:04Your highness!
01:00:06How could she be the king's mother?
01:00:11This cannot be.
01:00:12Her highness was testing you all.
01:00:14Never did I imagine you would be so arrogant
01:00:17as to dare mistreat the king's mother herself.
01:00:21Your highness, I beg forgiveness.
01:00:23I fail to recognize your highness as the Queen Dua.
01:00:26I beg your pardon.
01:00:28And I beg your majesty for mercy.
01:00:31Your majesty?
01:00:32The king?
01:00:39This matter is of great gravity
01:00:41and concerns the Queen Doucher's dignity.
01:00:42I beg your majesty to pass fair judgment.
01:00:47Indeed.
01:00:48How dare you offend the Queen Doucher?
01:00:54Repent at once!
01:00:56I acknowledge my sins, your highness.
01:01:00It was this maid.
01:01:02She misled me, telling me Allura had seduced his majesty.
01:01:06That is why I lost my senses.
01:01:09Lady Cordelia, it was all you!
01:01:11Silence!
01:01:11If you had not incited me,
01:01:13I would never have dared act insolently
01:01:15before the Queen Doucher.
01:01:17Maid Lila spreads false rumors
01:01:19and violates palace laws.
01:01:20Drag her away and sell her into servitude at once.
01:01:26I beg your highness for forgiveness.
01:01:28I did not spread lies.
01:01:30I truly saw Allura
01:01:31exchanging improper glances with the guard.
01:01:35I humbly beg your highness for forgiveness!
01:01:37You are the elder daughter of House Vosk!
01:01:42Presumptuous, Cordelia.
01:01:43I thought you kind, but you are cruel,
01:01:45disrespectful to your superiors,
01:01:47and deluded enough to covet the Queen's throne.
01:01:49I sentence you to one year in the royal penitentiary to repent.
01:01:53The royal penitentiary?
01:01:54I repent!
01:01:57I repent!
01:01:59I repent!
01:01:59I beg your grace to spare me!
01:02:02I do not wish to go there!
01:02:04I have something to ask you.
01:02:09You remain here.
01:02:11Summon the royal physician at once
01:02:13to heal Allura's wounds
01:02:15and tend to her carefully.
01:02:16Yes, your highness.
01:02:24Kael, come with me.
01:02:44Sien, has her highness punished you?
01:02:52Your wounds.
01:02:54Do they still hurt?
01:02:56What did the physician say?
01:02:59Ointment has been applied.
01:03:00The pain has faded.
01:03:02Do not worry.
01:03:04How could I not worry seeing you like this?
01:03:06Allura, I am sorry I failed to protect you in time.
01:03:11It is all in the past.
01:03:13As long as you are unharmed.
01:03:15Well, I will never let you suffer such agony again, Allura.
01:03:21Allura has passed the trial.
01:03:23I shall confess my identity to her at once
01:03:25and name her my queen.
01:03:27The coronation can wait.
01:03:29Next month is the royal spring garden party
01:03:33and the ceremony court is already preparing the coronation ceremony with limited manpower.
01:03:38Besides, this is far too sudden.
01:03:40I fear the ministers will object.
01:03:42Mother,
01:03:43why not entrust Allura with organizing this banquet?
01:03:46If she succeeds,
01:03:47she will prove her capability
01:03:49and persuade everyone to accept her as queen.
01:03:52Her Highness has tasked you with organizing next month's royal spring garden party.
01:03:57I...
01:03:57But I know nothing of such matters.
01:03:59Do not fear.
01:04:00With your ability,
01:04:01you will succeed.
01:04:02I will also assist you in secret.
01:04:06Very well.
01:04:13All of you move quickly!
01:04:16Anyone who slacks off will taste my whip!
01:04:23Worthless wretch!
01:04:26Do you still fancy yourself a noble lady,
01:04:29once inside the royal penitentiary?
01:04:31No one is allowed to be lazy.
01:04:40Laura!
01:04:41Damn it!
01:04:43This is all your fault!
01:04:50Don't touch me!
01:04:53I am the daughter of the Duke of Clifton.
01:04:56Show me proper respect.
01:04:59Daughter of the Duke of Clifton?
01:05:01In my past life,
01:05:02Lucien was promoted by the Queen Dowager at the Spring Banquet.
01:05:05If I can escape this place
01:05:08and get Lucien to appear at the banquet,
01:05:10I will surely turn my fortunes around.
01:05:22What a wretched place!
01:05:25I am expected to wash clothes here!
01:05:31Where did this lowly maid come from?
01:05:33Sister, I have an urgent favor to ask of you.
01:05:36Why would I help you?
01:05:39Were I not fallen from grace,
01:05:41you would not even be worthy of speaking to me.
01:05:45My sister Alara trapped me here.
01:05:48If you help me escape,
01:05:50I will serve you faithfully for the rest of my life in repayment.
01:05:58Alara!
01:06:01Excellent.
01:06:03The banquet procedures are well organized.
01:06:06It is clear you put great effort into this.
01:06:09I am confident entrusting this to you.
01:06:12Thank you, Your Highness.
01:06:14Your Highness!
01:06:17Disaster!
01:06:19A fire has broken out at the Royal Penitentiary!
01:06:22What?
01:06:27Sir, what is the situation inside?
01:06:30The fire has engulfed the entire backyard.
01:06:34Nearly half the occupants not escaped.
01:06:38Could Cordelia have perished?
01:06:46Your Highness!
01:06:49Your Highness!
01:06:53I know my sins.
01:06:55I beg you to revoke my punishment.
01:06:57I cannot endure even one more day in the Royal Penitentiary!
01:07:00It is a relief you survived.
01:07:02I must also give an account to your father.
01:07:05Never mind.
01:07:07With your temperament,
01:07:08staying in the institution will do you no good.
01:07:10You shall be sent north for a marital alliance
01:07:13with the Northern Diagis next month.
01:07:15A marriage alliance?
01:07:17Refuse,
01:07:17and you return to the Royal Penitentiary.
01:07:20No!
01:07:25I shall obey your Highness' decree.
01:07:29I will depart for the Alliance next month.
01:07:34Yet I have one request.
01:07:36I survived this disaster
01:07:37solely because Miss Serafina of House Vos
01:07:40risked her life to save me.
01:07:41I beg your Highness
01:07:43to release her from the Royal Penitentiary.
01:07:45Your Highness.
01:07:49I recall Serafina as your sister.
01:07:51In your opinion,
01:07:52how shall I reward her?
01:07:56Your Highness.
01:07:58Serafina and I have been distant since childhood
01:08:00and share little affection.
01:08:01It is entirely up to your Highness to decide.
01:08:05Since you have agreed to the marital alliance,
01:08:08I shall grant your wish.
01:08:11Return to the palace.
01:08:14I humbly thank your Highness.
01:08:18Allora,
01:08:19I thought you had climbed high to become a noble,
01:08:22yet you remain nothing but a lowly bird.
01:08:25You ruined our parents' house thorn
01:08:27and made me suffer endlessly in the Royal Penitentiary.
01:08:31I will settle this debt with you.
01:08:42Brother, let me out.
01:08:43If I stay locked up any longer,
01:08:44I will go mad.
01:08:46How dare you speak.
01:08:47If you and Serafina had not acted foolishly,
01:08:50I would not have offended the king
01:08:51and lost my position.
01:08:52It is all that bitch Aliva's fault!
01:08:55My lord!
01:08:56Why have you returned?
01:08:57The Queen Dowger has hardened my crimes.
01:08:59I no longer have to stay in the Royal Penitentiary.
01:09:02You ruined all of us,
01:09:04yet you still have the nerve to come back?
01:09:06Brother, Allora is the one who truly wronged you.
01:09:09Instead of blaming each other,
01:09:10we should find a way to destroy her.
01:09:13Allora?
01:09:13She is the king's woman now.
01:09:15How are we supposed to take her down?
01:09:18I saw her in the Institute.
01:09:20She still wears a maid's uniform.
01:09:22She is not favored at all.
01:09:23Could the king's affection for her
01:09:25be only a fleeting insacuation?
01:09:26Of course.
01:09:27If the king truly loved her,
01:09:29why would he keep her as a maid?
01:09:31The Royal Spring Garden Party is next month,
01:09:34and all nobles will attend the palace.
01:09:36It is our perfect opportunity.
01:09:38House Thorn is invited to the Spring Banquet!
01:09:40I will be able to go too!
01:09:43What scheme are you planning now?
01:09:46Rest assured, brother,
01:09:48I will shine at the banquet,
01:09:50win Her Highness's favor,
01:09:52and restore House Thorn to glory.
01:09:59All nobles and dignitaries attend today's banquet.
01:10:04Check everything carefully.
01:10:07Not a single mistake is allowed.
01:10:09Do not worry.
01:10:11You have double-checked every procedure.
01:10:14Nothing will go wrong.
01:10:16I hope so.
01:10:20Allora, you love these pastries.
01:10:22I had extra prepared for you.
01:10:36Kale!
01:10:39So many people at the palace feast,
01:10:41yet I can only watch you from afar.
01:10:43I can no longer restrain myself.
01:10:46Wait me here after the banquet.
01:10:48I have something vital to tell you.
01:10:52I...
01:10:52I will wait you here.
01:11:00Kale, this is the garden.
01:11:02Someone might come.
01:11:03No one dares come here.
01:11:05The only one I want is you.
01:11:08Right now.
01:11:09Allora, do you know how much I crave you?
01:11:12Every night I dream of holding you beneath me,
01:11:15of hearing you gasp and beg for me.
01:11:17No!
01:11:17Not here!
01:11:19No one is around.
01:11:20You can scream as loud as you like.
01:11:22I want to hear you cry for me.
01:11:24Your body is so warm.
01:11:27Allora, tell me you crave me too.
01:11:30Kale, I am scared.
01:11:32But I miss you so much.
01:11:40My lord, look.
01:11:46Allora is with a guard.
01:12:01Right, you are on duty today.
01:12:04We must go back at once.
01:12:08Remember to wait for me here.
01:12:09Okay.
01:12:14Sister cannot stay away from men for even a moment.
01:12:19Abandoned by the king one moment,
01:12:21consorting with a guard the next.
01:12:29This is the royal palace,
01:12:31not your favorite House Vos Manor.
01:12:35Every action is watched
01:12:37by the king and the queen Dow Madger.
01:12:40You were only just freed,
01:12:42yet you have learned nothing.
01:12:44My husband and I are honored guests,
01:12:46invited to the banquet.
01:12:48You are nothing but a maid.
01:12:49If we are pleased, we indulge you.
01:12:52If not, no one will even care if you die.
01:12:55Your escape from House Vos last time
01:12:57was pure luck.
01:12:59No one protects you anymore!
01:13:01What do you mean?
01:13:02As long as you suffer,
01:13:04I am content.
01:13:06The queen Dowager.
01:13:11You stay out of this, Alara!
01:13:14The queen Dowager.
01:13:18Alara,
01:13:19you have labored hard,
01:13:21organizing the spring banquet.
01:13:24Once it ends,
01:13:25I shall reward you generously.
01:13:27It is merely my duty.
01:13:28I feel no hardship.
01:13:31Your Highness,
01:13:32I have an accusation to make.
01:13:36Say.
01:13:37I accuse Alara
01:13:39of confiding with a guard in secret.
01:13:42I witnessed it
01:13:43with my own eyes.
01:13:45Their actions were indecent,
01:13:47and they tried to hide it
01:13:48when discovered.
01:13:49So bold in broad daylight.
01:13:51Their private sins
01:13:53must be far worse.
01:13:55Your Highness,
01:13:57the guard and I shared mutual affection
01:13:59before I entered the palace.
01:14:01We only meet occasionally
01:14:02within the palace,
01:14:03and have committed
01:14:05no immoral affairs.
01:14:06If you were innocent,
01:14:07why did you hurry away
01:14:09upon seeing us?
01:14:10Secret consorting
01:14:11is a capital crime!
01:14:13Your Highness,
01:14:14it was I
01:14:15who insisted on meeting him.
01:14:17If you sentence me
01:14:18to death for this,
01:14:20I beg you spare the guard.
01:14:22They are both guilty!
01:14:24I beg your Highness
01:14:25to execute the guard as well!
01:14:27I beg your Highness
01:14:28to put them both to death
01:14:29to uphold palace law.
01:14:31Who exactly
01:14:32do you wish
01:14:33for me to execute?
01:14:36Who exactly
01:14:37do you wish
01:14:38for me to execute?
01:14:40While palace rules
01:14:41forbid maids
01:14:42from concerting with guards,
01:14:44Alara has dedicated
01:14:45herself fully
01:14:45to the spring banquet.
01:14:47She may atone
01:14:48through her service.
01:14:50I pardon her.
01:14:52Alara,
01:14:53accompany me
01:14:53to the banquet.
01:14:59She escaped punishment
01:15:00once again.
01:15:01How is Alara
01:15:02so fortunate?
01:15:03First protected
01:15:04by the king,
01:15:04now by her highness
01:15:05even entrusted
01:15:06with the entire banquet.
01:15:12Since Alara
01:15:13is in charge
01:15:14of the banquet,
01:15:15this works perfectly
01:15:18for us.
01:15:23Your Majesty,
01:15:24the banquet
01:15:25lies ahead.
01:15:26Where are you going?
01:15:27It will begin soon.
01:15:27You will not have time
01:15:28to change otherwise.
01:15:30I still believe
01:15:31I must tell Alara
01:15:32the truth at once.
01:15:34Hurry and tell her
01:15:35to meet me
01:15:35at our former spot.
01:15:40Steward Felix.
01:15:48What's wrong?
01:15:50You have achieved
01:15:51great merit.
01:15:52All the nobles
01:15:53praise the banquet
01:15:54and Herminus
01:15:56is very satisfied.
01:15:59Very well.
01:16:01Someone waits for you
01:16:02behind the ceremony court.
01:16:04Who is it?
01:16:10Assassins!
01:16:10Protect the Queen
01:16:11down her!
01:16:16Assassins!
01:16:17Protect the Queen
01:16:18down her!
01:16:22What has happened
01:16:23inside?
01:16:24An assassin
01:16:24disguised as a dancer
01:16:26attempted to murder
01:16:27the Queen Dowager.
01:16:28Young Master Lucian
01:16:29blocked
01:16:30the blade
01:16:31for her highness
01:16:32and the assassin fled.
01:16:35What?
01:16:38Take her away.
01:16:39What are you doing?
01:16:41The Queen Dowager
01:16:41was targeted
01:16:42by an assassin.
01:16:43We arrest Alora
01:16:43to stand trial
01:16:44at the court.
01:16:53Your Grace,
01:16:55the prisoner
01:16:55has been brought forth.
01:16:57Your Grace.
01:16:59So this is the woman
01:17:01who caused Cordelia
01:17:01to be sent
01:17:02into the marital alliance.
01:17:05Your Grace,
01:17:06she is the one
01:17:07in charge
01:17:08of this entire
01:17:09spring banquet.
01:17:09How dare you!
01:17:10You arranged assassins
01:17:11to strike at the Queen Dowager
01:17:13during the banquet.
01:17:13What is your treacherous intent?
01:17:15I am innocent
01:17:16by the identity
01:17:16of every attendant
01:17:17at the banquet.
01:17:18I have no idea
01:17:19how the assassin
01:17:19infiltrated.
01:17:20Of course you know nothing.
01:17:21You were meeting
01:17:22with the guard
01:17:22in secret
01:17:23before the banquet.
01:17:24You clearly disregarded
01:17:25the Queen Dowager's safety.
01:17:27What?
01:17:28Hang her!
01:17:29Such treachery!
01:17:29Treachery!
01:17:35My lord,
01:17:36I truly did not
01:17:37collude with assassins.
01:17:38Continue the torture!
01:17:40My lord,
01:17:40I can testify.
01:17:41The guard was seen
01:17:42within the palace gardens.
01:17:43Why has Alara not come?
01:18:00Your Grace,
01:18:01the prisoner
01:18:02has been delivered.
01:18:08Sian.
01:18:09Alara,
01:18:10do you confess
01:18:11your crimes?
01:18:15I beg your lordship
01:18:16to investigate fairly.
01:18:18The assassin incident
01:18:19is my fault.
01:18:20I beg you not
01:18:21to punish anyone else
01:18:22for it.
01:18:23The palace
01:18:23is heavily guarded.
01:18:25Strangers cannot
01:18:25enter easily.
01:18:26Alarta must have conspired
01:18:27with the assassins
01:18:28in secret.
01:18:28If Lucien
01:18:29had not acted swiftly
01:18:30to shield her midness,
01:18:31you would deserve death
01:18:32ten times over.
01:18:35Your Grace,
01:18:36I know nothing
01:18:37of the assassins.
01:18:39Grant me time
01:18:40and I will uncover
01:18:40the truth.
01:18:44Enough!
01:18:48Enough!
01:18:49Alara colloes
01:18:51with the guard.
01:18:52You have discarded
01:18:53the Queen Dowager's safety.
01:18:55Execute both of them
01:18:56at once.
01:19:02My lord,
01:19:04I beg you
01:19:04to revoke
01:19:05this order.
01:19:06My lord,
01:19:07thank you.
01:19:10Kyan,
01:19:11I'm truly sorry.
01:19:14I'm the one
01:19:14who got you
01:19:15into this mess.
01:19:16See you,
01:19:17my lord.
01:19:31I would like to see
01:19:33who dares touch her.
01:19:38The King!
01:19:43your majesty.
01:19:54Your majesty.
01:19:58Impossible.
01:19:59How dare you!
01:20:00You would execute
01:20:02the innocent
01:20:03without inquiring.
01:20:05Is this how you
01:20:07serve your post?
01:20:11You have plotted
01:20:12against Alara
01:20:14at every turn.
01:20:15Had I not been here,
01:20:17your scheme,
01:20:18Spotilith,
01:20:19would have prevailed.
01:20:20Your majesty,
01:20:21I never,
01:20:21never sought
01:20:22to harm my sister.
01:20:24Your majesty,
01:20:25Alara was in charge
01:20:25of the spring banquet.
01:20:27By allowing an assassin
01:20:27to enter the palace
01:20:28and attempt on the
01:20:29Doubturge Empress' life,
01:20:30her crime is unforgivable.
01:20:31I beg you,
01:20:32sire,
01:20:33throw her into the dungeon
01:20:34immediately for harsh interrogation.
01:20:36The duke is right.
01:20:37If Lord Lucien
01:20:38hadn't stepped in
01:20:38to take that blade today,
01:20:39the Doubtur Empress
01:20:40would surely have been lost.
01:20:41Your majesty,
01:20:41my life means nothing,
01:20:43but Alara
01:20:43must be punished!
01:20:47If such incidents
01:20:49recur,
01:20:50who shall safeguard
01:20:52the royal palace?
01:20:53I beg your majesty
01:20:56to punish Alara
01:20:59without fail!
01:21:00Lucien,
01:21:01how dare you!
01:21:04Presumed to make decisions
01:21:06in my stead.
01:21:07Her highness
01:21:09has suffered
01:21:09great fright today.
01:21:10If your majesty
01:21:11spares Alara,
01:21:12others will follow
01:21:14her example
01:21:15with disastrous consequences.
01:21:19I beg your majesty
01:21:20to punish her!
01:21:21We beg your majesty
01:21:22to punish Alara!
01:21:24I beg your majesty
01:21:26to punish Alara!
01:21:28Oh,
01:21:29if I
01:21:30present proof
01:21:32of Alara's innocence,
01:21:35what penalty
01:21:36shall you all face?
01:21:41impossible!
01:21:48Duke of Clifton,
01:21:50I'm talking to you!
01:21:54If I have
01:21:56wrongfully
01:21:56accused Alara,
01:21:59I willingly
01:22:00accept the same
01:22:01punishment as her.
01:22:03Very well.
01:22:05bring them in!
01:22:08Bring them in!
01:22:12Thank you!
01:22:14Your majesty,
01:22:17I had spies stationed
01:22:18long ago
01:22:19and the assassin
01:22:20has been apprehended.
01:22:21My majesty,
01:22:23have mercy.
01:22:24Serafina
01:22:24and Lucien
01:22:25ordered
01:22:26the attack
01:22:27on her highness.
01:22:28I was forced
01:22:31to obey!
01:22:33My majesty,
01:22:34have mercy.
01:22:36It's over.
01:22:37Everything
01:22:38is over.
01:22:39Cease!
01:22:40The Duke of Clifton!
01:22:43Your majesty,
01:22:45I have served
01:22:46this kingdom
01:22:47faithfully
01:22:47for decades
01:22:48with utter devotion!
01:22:51You cannot
01:22:52treat me
01:22:53so cruelly!
01:22:56My majesty!
01:23:01As for the two of you,
01:23:04your majesty,
01:23:05this is none of my business.
01:23:06It was all her!
01:23:07You lie!
01:23:08Your majesty,
01:23:09I was only jealous
01:23:09of my sister.
01:23:10The plot to assassinate
01:23:11the Queen Dowder
01:23:12was entirely Lucien's idea.
01:23:14Even his act
01:23:14of shielding her highness
01:23:16was a pretendess
01:23:17he staged himself!
01:23:19Bitch!
01:23:21How dare you betray me!
01:23:25Enough!
01:23:27Lucien
01:23:27and Serafina,
01:23:29as the masterminds
01:23:30of this conspiracy,
01:23:31you shall be executed
01:23:32on the spot.
01:23:34The assassin maid
01:23:35shall be imprisoned
01:23:36in the royal dungeon
01:23:37pending further judgment.
01:23:38Your majesty,
01:23:39grant me mercy!
01:23:41Alara,
01:23:42I hate you!
01:23:43None of this
01:23:43would have happened
01:23:44if not for you!
01:23:45All of this
01:23:45should have been mine!
01:23:47You are wrong.
01:23:48You brought this ruin
01:23:50upon yourself,
01:23:50not me.
01:23:52Your fate today
01:23:52is entirely
01:23:53of your own making.
01:23:59Alara,
01:24:01I...
01:24:04So, your majesty,
01:24:06what is your true name?
01:24:08My name is Kael.
01:24:12Kael.
01:24:14The culprits
01:24:15have now been
01:24:15brought to justice.
01:24:17At last,
01:24:18your majesty
01:24:18and your queen
01:24:19shall be united
01:24:20at last.
01:24:22Queen?
01:24:26From this day forth,
01:24:27I crown you my queen.
01:24:37Effective immediately,
01:24:38there is only one sovereign
01:24:39in my royal household.
01:24:41And that
01:24:42is my queen,
01:24:43Alara.
01:24:45Long live the king!
01:24:47Long live the queen!
01:24:58My god!
01:25:00She looks beautiful!
01:25:03She looks beautiful!
01:25:10Do not be nervous,
01:25:12my love.
01:25:12You are as radiant
01:25:13as a heavenly maiden today.
01:25:15It still feels like a dream.
01:25:18Kael,
01:25:19will you truly marry me?
01:25:21I will make you
01:25:22my one and only queen
01:25:23to rule this kingdom
01:25:24beside me.
01:25:35Today,
01:25:36your majesty,
01:25:37King Kael,
01:25:37unites with Alara Vos
01:25:39in holy matrimony.
01:25:41May heaven bear witness
01:25:42to their union.
01:25:48This ring represents
01:25:49my eternal vow to you.
01:25:51Loyalty,
01:25:52exclusivity,
01:25:52and devotion
01:25:53until death.
01:25:55Now,
01:25:56your majesty,
01:25:57you may kiss your queen.
01:26:08Today,
