Destroying My Cheating Ex with My Queen Mother EPISODE
Transcript
00:00:21Poor child! The fire isn't out yet! Stop!
00:00:26Madam, if I'm too slow, the other starving people will snatch them. My mother and I need this to survive
00:00:32the bitter winter.
00:00:38Madam, I wove these napkins. I embroidered the holly patterns myself. The priest said holly represents endless hope and life.
00:00:46Do you know where I can sell these?
00:00:52I'll take them all. May the merciful God bless you.
00:01:03Those napkins are barely worth a few coppers. Why did you give her three silver goins?
00:01:08Her father drowned, and her mother caught a deadly consumption. An orphan girl, weaving with burned hands just to buy
00:01:15her mother medicine. We should help however we can.
00:01:38Ten silver coins, at most.
00:01:42So, I'm dying. Ten silver coins only buys me a month of medicine.
00:01:48Please, look at the work. It's flawless.
00:01:53Fine. I misjudged it. Thirty silver coins.
00:01:58That's enough. Enough time to settle my shiril.
00:02:05Today is Christmas. My mother sold grandmother's heirloom for me. Yet this is all I can afford to give her.
00:02:14You ditched royalty to run off with a peasant.
00:02:19And look at you now, pathetic.
00:02:27Father, I don't have much time left.
00:02:30Please have mercy and take shiril in.
00:02:33That brat is a stain. Leave her, come home, and I'll get you the best care. You're still royalty.
00:02:41If high birth compels me to cast aside my child, I choose to live as a commoner.
00:02:48Father, shiril is my life. I will never abandon her.
00:02:53You're my only child, the last of our royal blood. Your illness has already brought you to death. Are you
00:03:00willing to risk your life over some base-born bastard?
00:03:05Without shiril, the palace is nothing more than an ornate tomb. I would rather die than abandon my daughter.
00:03:12Then die in this icebox! I, Robert, never had you as a daughter!
00:03:20It's all my fault. I'm the one who made Mother suffer.
00:03:32Mum, it's Christmas today. I didn't save enough for a turkey, but I made pea soup.
00:03:38Good girl. Mum is so proud of you.
00:03:41Mum, this is my Christmas gift to you. Hope you will like it.
00:03:46It's beautiful. I love it.
00:03:49I'm sorry my weak body made you suffer in this cruel world.
00:03:52No, it's my fault I couldn't make you better.
00:03:57I heard licorice helps with coughing, so I added some to the soup. Hurry and try it.
00:04:04This pea soup is the best thing I've ever tasted. No delicacy can compare.
00:04:14This is my only precious belonging left. We'll each keep half.
00:04:21Mum will never abandon you.
00:04:25We will never be apart.
00:04:28Mother, my departure is the only way for you to live.
00:04:32You have to carry on, please.
00:04:52Your majesty! Please save my mom!
00:04:59As long as you save my mother, I am willing to leave her forever,
00:05:03and never take the royal bloodline.
00:05:17This is Datria, one sip, and your past is gone forever.
00:05:22I'm sending you to a remote border town.
00:05:28Never set foot in the capital again.
00:05:54Mom, you have to live on.
00:06:03Lyanna.
00:06:07Father, what are you doing here?
00:06:19My child!
00:06:21Shereel!
00:06:22Where are you?
00:06:31Mom, please forgive me for leaving like this.
00:06:34I wanted to stay with you forever.
00:06:37But I couldn't just watch you die.
00:06:40Grandfather promised me to save you, but only if I left.
00:06:44This dress is my final gift, like the holly on it.
00:06:49I wish you endless life and hope.
00:06:51I will always love you.
00:07:00My child!
00:07:02Shereel!
00:07:04Shereel!
00:07:06Shereel, where are you?
00:07:08My child.

00:27:29Who is she?
00:27:30How does she dare attack the Baron?
00:27:32Does she have a death wish?
00:27:34Who is she?
00:27:37You almost killed me!
00:27:38Who are you?
00:27:41What? What do you want?
00:27:43What are you afraid of?
00:27:44We are nobles.
00:27:45Does she really dare kill us?
00:27:49Are you okay?
00:27:51Ma'am, it's you.
00:27:53Why are you here?
00:27:55I arrived too late and let you suffer.
00:28:00So you wanted to stand up for this commoner?
00:28:06Stay beside me and watch.
00:28:08I won't let any of them off.
00:28:10I came today to stand up for her.
00:28:12The rest of you deserve to die.
00:28:19Golden armor?
00:28:20Could they be the royal guard?
00:28:21Who exactly is this woman?
00:28:22Who'd she be?
00:28:23The queen.
00:28:24Don't panic.
00:28:25The royal guard are the queen's personal soldiers.
00:28:27My father is Count Grove.
00:28:28If the queen came here, how could he not know?
00:28:30This woman is a fraud.
00:28:32Those aren't real royal guards.
00:28:33She hired actors to scare us with a cheap trick.
00:28:35Exactly.
00:28:37The queen must be in the capital.
00:28:38Why would she be here?
00:28:39You criminal!
00:28:41Importionating the queen!
00:28:42Go, fetch my father, Count Grove.
00:28:44Tell him I've caught a fake queen.
00:28:45If my father deals with someone offending the queen,
00:28:48her majesty will surely reward him.
00:28:51Fine, I'd like to see how Count Grove handles me when he sees me.
00:29:09My lord, urgent news from the cathedral.
00:29:13A lunatic is leading privateers,
00:29:14faking the queen's identity to attack Lady Bella and the Baron.
00:29:21Preposterous in the heart of Black Rock City.
00:29:24Someone dares to mock the queen and bully my daughter?
00:29:29Guards, move out!
00:29:31I'll hang this impostor myself.
00:29:35You're insane!
00:29:37Faking the queen's name is a death sentence!
00:29:41You think these golden costumes can save you?
00:29:44The queen remains in the capital!
00:29:46She wouldn't waste a second on a nobody like you!
00:29:50Despokable?
00:29:51That's you, Eric.
00:29:52You stole Shirell's work to buy this title.
00:29:55You climbed to the top on her blood and sweat,
00:29:58and now you dare try to crush her?
00:29:59You've spit on every sacred promise.
00:30:02You're a pathetic excuse for a man.
00:30:04That's right!
00:30:05Shirell was so devoted to Eric.
00:30:07How could he break his vow?
00:30:08Shirell wove day and night for Eric,
00:30:10and sold soup whenever she had time.
00:30:12We all saw her sacrifices.
00:30:17Shut up!
00:30:19The workshop is my property!
00:30:20She's just a lowly worker!
00:30:22Everything I have is what I deserve!
00:30:29Madam, thank you for standing up for me,
00:30:32but please, you must leave now.
00:30:34Count Grove is a monster,
00:30:36and his men are merciless.
00:30:38Don't die for me.
00:30:39It's not worth your life.
00:30:41Don't be scared, dear.
00:30:43I won't let anyone touch you.
00:30:45Since the gods won't act,
00:30:46I'll punish these disgusting villains myself.
00:30:49They will pay for what they did to me.
00:30:51No one has ever protected me unconditionally.
00:30:55She's just like...
00:30:57Just like a mother.
00:30:59Just like a mother.
00:30:59Eric!
00:31:00This old fraud is insane!
00:31:02She's helping Shirell spread lies about our family!
00:31:05Kill them!
00:31:06Don't let either of these bitches escape!
00:31:13You're dead meat.
00:31:15The Count's guards will beat you both to death.
00:31:18I'll make sure your heads hang from the city walls
00:31:20until the crows pick them clean.
00:31:22Just wait and see!
00:31:31What big talk?
00:31:33You break vows, kill the weak,
00:31:35and treat lives like dirt.
00:31:37You've crossed the line of no return.
00:31:40Aren't you afraid of the Queen's fury?
00:31:42One word from the throne,
00:31:43and you'll lose your title,
00:31:45your wealth,
00:31:45and your head.
00:31:46Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:31:49Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:31:53Just to beg the Queen for a judgment?
00:31:55You really believe she'd listen to a couple of noblies?
00:31:58That's the most pathetic thing I've ever heard.
00:32:01Submit a petition?
00:32:02Ha ha ha!
00:32:03This is the funniest joke I've ever heard!
00:32:05You?
00:32:05See the Queen?
00:32:07Wouldn't get within a mile of the palace alive.
00:32:10Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:32:11Eric!
00:32:12The gods are watching from above!
00:32:13The kingdom's laws won't be blinded forever
00:32:15by despicable people like you!
00:32:18Laws?
00:32:19Here, my father, is the only law that matters.
00:32:21You think a scrap of paper and some lies will save you?
00:32:24You're living in a dream world.
00:32:26You think you can leave today?
00:32:28Keep dreaming!
00:32:29You won't even take one step out of this cathedral's doors!
00:32:32Block the doors tight.
00:32:34Don't let a single fly out.
00:32:35I will watch these two peasants bleed their last drop right here!
00:32:39Oh!
00:32:41Oh!
00:32:41Oh!
00:32:42Oh!
00:32:42Oh!
00:32:43Oh!
00:32:43Oh!
00:32:43Oh!
00:32:44Oh!
00:32:44Oh!
00:32:46Oh!
00:32:46Oh!
00:32:46Oh!
00:32:47Oh!
00:32:48Oh!
00:32:52Enough, Lord Baron!
00:32:53You can't just flip the truth and use violence to get your way!
00:32:57Miss Shearal is a kind and innocent person.
00:33:01We are witnesses.
00:33:02Night after night, she bled for that holly silk while you did nothing.
00:33:07You can't deny this truth!
00:33:09Stealing is a sin!
00:33:10You used her blood and sweat to climb the social clallor and now you want to kill her?
00:33:13You're no gentleman, you're a monster!
00:33:19Shut up, you filthy peasants!
00:33:21You reek of manure and livestock!
00:33:23How dare you jump out and lecture nobility!
00:33:33Are you crazy?
00:33:35They only spoke the truth and you dare strike them?
00:33:37Truth?
00:33:38Here?
00:33:39Here I am the truth.
00:33:40Opposing me is a crime punishable by death.
00:33:43You rats from the Sea Wars were born to be trash under our feet.
00:33:47Now and forever.
00:33:50Trampled underfoot, you parasites.
00:33:53You take everything from this kingdom and give back only cruelty.
00:33:56You trample the weak like dirt and spit on the laws of justice.
00:34:00Filthy, heartless cowards.
00:34:01You don't deserve to be nobles.
00:34:03You deserve nothing!
00:34:05You mad woman.
00:34:07Death is upon you, yet you still dare spout such nonsense!
00:34:12Today, by the will of the heavens, I shall make you pay in blood for your arrogance and cruelty!
00:34:24You dare hit me!
00:34:32You dare hit me!
00:34:34You dare hit me!
00:34:35You peasant, you dare hit me!
00:34:42You're dead!
00:34:43My father will rot you in the pits!
00:34:46He'll have you flayed alive until there's nothing left but screams!
00:34:50Where is my father?
00:34:53Someone find Count Grove now!
00:35:03Daring to offend the Grove family on my territory!
00:35:07The gallows will be your final resting place today!
00:35:11Full speed ahead!
00:35:13Hi-ya!
00:35:22You lawless madwoman.
00:35:25Before the gods and nobles, you dare publicly harm a Count's daughter.
00:35:29Don't show them mercy, Eric!
00:35:31Butcher this witch!
00:35:32Toss their carcasses to the wolves and let them rot!
00:35:35How dare these peasants insult my title!
00:35:38Eric!
00:35:39Draw your sword!
00:35:41Teach these dogs the meaning of fear!
00:35:45That's right, Eric.
00:35:46Avenge me for this.
00:35:47And in the future, my father's power and connections are yours to command.
00:35:52I'll end you right here!
00:35:54Enough!
00:35:54Your blood will serve as a lesson to these rats!
00:35:57Offending a noble is a death sentence!
00:35:59Now perish!
00:36:10You want to kill me?
00:36:13In your dreams.
00:36:17You dare point weapons at me!
00:36:24Enough is enough.
00:36:26We give our blood and sweat to this land, yet you treat us like dirt!
00:36:29Listen to me, everyone.
00:36:31Listen to me, everyone.
00:36:31We aren't animals.
00:36:32We won't be trampled anymore!
00:36:35That's right!
00:36:36Strip this hypocrite of his title!
00:36:38Give Cheryl's hard work back to her!
00:36:47What are you peasants trying to do?
00:36:48Are you trying to overthrow the order?
00:36:50You're reckless rioters!
00:36:51Wait until the Count's guards arrive.
00:36:52They'll send all you cheekbones to the gallows!
00:36:56A crown is a burden of responsibility, not a shield for your crimes.
00:37:00It exists to safeguard the weak and honor the truth.
00:37:04Those who use it to trample others deserve nothing but the gallows.
00:37:08Damn right!
00:37:09And you, enjoy the crown's protection, only to turn your blades on its people.
00:37:14Listen to these roars!
00:37:16The people have spoken and the gods have judged.
00:37:19Eric Gray, you are no baron.
00:37:21You are a criminal.
00:37:22Fella, your soul is too rotten to ever be called noble.
00:37:26No, shut up.
00:37:28Shut up, you madwoman!
00:37:30Shut up!
00:37:37Who dares to impersonate the Queen here and offend the Magi of the Groves?
00:37:42Get out here and face death!
00:37:53Who dares to impersonate the Queen here and offend the Magi of the Groves?
00:37:58Get out here and face death!
00:38:05Father!
00:38:06You finally came!
00:38:09If you had been a moment later, your daughter would have been eaten alive by these lowly rioters.
00:38:14Who dares?
00:38:15Who dares harm the Groves family in my city?
00:38:21My lord, this crazy woman ruined everything.
00:38:24She even brought thugs to impersonate the Royal Guard.
00:38:27Look at them.
00:38:28What a pathetic joke.
00:38:33That's right!
00:38:34My lord, she dared to fake the Royal Majesty.
00:38:37This is the worst deceration of the Kingdom's laws.
00:38:40We must kill her!
00:38:41Send her to the gallows.
00:38:43Burn this heretic!
00:38:44She dares to desperate the gods.
00:38:46Burn her alive!
00:38:50Count Grove!
00:38:51How dare she!
00:38:52I'll let my cavalry trample her until she's unrecognisable.
00:38:55I'll flay her alive, inch by inch, and let the whole city hear her finalizing cries.
00:38:59No one mocks the Grove name and lives.
00:39:01Where is that bold, lowly peasant leading the riot?
00:39:04Roll out and die!
00:39:07Father, it's that bitch right there.
00:39:14Ma'am, I will take all the blame shortly.
00:39:17You absolutely must not get involved.
00:39:20We don't know each other, yet you have done enough for me.
00:39:22I cannot put you in danger because of me.
00:39:24Good girl.
00:39:26How can you say we don't know each other?
00:39:29We are the closest family.
00:39:32What do you mean?
00:39:34You two peasants, turn around!
00:39:41Count Grove, what an impressive display of authority.
00:39:57This woman's error.
00:40:00It's overwhelming.
00:40:01Who exactly is she?
00:40:03You dare bully my daughter in my place!
00:40:07And you dare impersonate the queen!
00:40:10Father, she's a fake!
00:40:12She's playing queen to save that bitch!
00:40:15Arrest her!
00:40:17Make her crawl for what she's done!
00:40:23Grove, you certainly have a good daughter.
00:40:27Disregarding the Empire's laws to wantonly beat and kill my kingdom's subjects.
00:40:33That voice...
00:40:34sounds so familiar.
00:40:37Like I've heard it somewhere before.
00:40:40My father knows the queen personally!
00:40:42Your little game is over!
00:40:45Father, speak up!
00:40:46Tell these fools!
00:40:47Is this madwoman really the queen?
00:40:50When I had an audience with the queen, there were layers of guards and soldiers.
00:40:54I didn't even dare lift my head.
00:40:56I only heard her voice.
00:40:59That proves it!
00:41:00She's a fake!
00:41:01The queen's life is too precious!
00:41:03She would never travel without notifying the castles.
00:41:06She wouldn't be here with just a few thugs!
00:41:08Father, why are you waiting?
00:41:10Kill her!
00:41:10Exactly!
00:41:12You lowly commoners remain unrepentant!
00:41:15Guards!
00:41:16Arrest them!
00:41:18Arrest me!
00:41:19Let this lady go!
00:41:28I will never let you suffer any wrongs, nor will I let these evil people succeed.
00:41:40Protect her majesty!
00:41:47Grove, you say I am an imposter, then look at what this is.
00:42:01What is this thing?
00:42:03This is the emblem representing the royal family!
00:42:08She has a royal emblem!
00:42:10Is she really the queen?
00:42:16If she is truly her majesty, then we're finished.
00:42:20Even if we are torn to pieces, it won't pacify her anger.
00:42:26Wait.
00:42:27The peace she's holding.
00:42:29It looks exactly like the one I have.
00:42:31They belong together.
00:42:40My family is connected to royalty.
00:42:43This lady, who is she really?
00:42:49Father, look clearly!
00:42:51This emblem is broken.
00:42:53It's only half.
00:42:55How could the queen use a defective item?
00:42:58It must be a fake made by a cheap person like you!
00:43:01Of course!
00:43:03It's a fake!
00:43:04Shereel is a weaver.
00:43:05She can copy any embroidery she sees.
00:43:08She forged that emblem herself.
00:43:11Don't be fooled by a peasant's needlework.
00:43:14You forge royal tokens and impersonate the queen.
00:43:17This is absolute deseration of the sacred dignity of the royal family.
00:43:23You liars deserve to die here today!
00:43:35How dare you disrespect the royal token!
00:43:40Just a fake.
00:43:42You're next.
00:43:43Ma'am, please leave.
00:43:46I don't want you in danger because of me.
00:43:54Too late.
00:43:56None of you are leaving here now.
00:43:59Shereel!
00:44:00Your scam has been exposed!
00:44:02For the sake of our past, I'll ask the count for a quick death!
00:44:06Confess now!
00:44:07This is the only mercy you'll get!
00:44:10How dare you treat Shereel this way?
00:44:13If it weren't for her,
00:44:16you would never have gotten the chance to be knighted as a baron.
00:44:19My coronation is because the royal family saw my capability.
00:44:25I earned it!
00:44:27What does it have to do with a peasant like her?
00:44:32If it weren't for the holly-patterned silk I wove, you would never have gotten that title!
00:44:38You should be grateful!
00:44:39If not for our weaving mill, you'd be a whore on the streets by now!
00:44:49Shereel gave you everything, and you betrayed her to climb the social ladder!
00:44:54You ungrateful snake!
00:44:57You don't deserve that title!
00:44:59You don't even deserve to stand in my presence!
00:45:02You damned fraud, impersonating the queen!
00:45:05You have no right to judge me!
00:45:27It's just a peasant!
00:45:30Teaching them their place is my duty!
00:45:33You will pay for your actions!
00:45:37A fraud pretending to be the queen thinks she can make a noble pay?
00:45:41What a massive joke!
00:45:42Even fine clothes can't hide your vulgar stench.
00:45:48That thing on your wrist is enough to expose your lowly status.
00:45:51A red string?
00:45:54That's a peasant's toy!
00:45:56Even slum kids wouldn't touch that filth!
00:45:59You expect us to believe the queen would wear such a lowly piece of trash?
00:46:04Don't be joked!
00:46:07A red string?
00:46:08I told you, a lower-class weaver like Shereel couldn't possibly know any nobles.
00:46:13You're exposed.
00:46:15Look, everyone!
00:46:16This hand string probably isn't even worth a single coin!
00:46:20He's right.
00:46:22Why would the queen wear a red string sold only in slums?
00:46:26The red string?
00:46:28Why does it break my heart to see it?
00:46:31My memory!
00:46:32This red string!
00:46:33What does it have to do with me?
00:46:39If you're going to pretend to be the queen, don't you even have decent jewelry?
00:46:44Not closely, you old ham!
00:46:46This is 50 gold coins worth of luxury.
00:46:49A symbol of nobility.
00:46:50Only trash like you would wear a torn string.
00:46:53Understand the difference now?
00:46:57They showed Rhea's my two towns.
00:47:00And we're mine either Rhea's built vush that gold in this port.
00:47:03Even if it wore 500 or 1,000 gold beers and wore Yemeni to her second.
00:47:09Everyone, listen!
00:47:10Everyone, listen!
00:47:11This crazy woman thinks her trashy string is a national treasure.
00:47:15I'm curious.
00:47:16Why is my 5,000 gold bracelet inferior to your filthy thread?
00:47:21Speak up!
00:47:22To you, it is a thread.
00:47:25To me, it is 10 years of a daughter's love.
00:47:28She saved every penny just to buy me this Christmas gift.
00:47:33Not all the gold in your treasury could ever match its worth.
00:47:37Ah, I see.
00:47:41So it was given by your daughter.
00:47:45What if I destroy it?
00:47:47Will it break your heart?
00:48:01Don't you dare!
00:48:02I'm warning you!
00:48:04If you dare destroy this handstring, I'll have your life for it!
00:48:11You want my life?
00:48:13I already burned it.
00:48:14My father, Count Groves, is standing right here.
00:48:16If you have the guts, try and touch me!
00:48:19It's over.
00:48:22That was Her Majesty's weak spot.
00:48:25Weak spot?
00:48:27It's true.
00:48:28There was a duke who once called that string ugly.
00:48:31The Queen turned on him instantly.
00:48:33She didn't just suppress his businesses.
00:48:36She erased his name from the nobility.
00:48:39Just because he insulted in a handstring, she ruined him?
00:48:43It wasn't just suppression.
00:48:45Overnight, his family was ruined.
00:48:47He lost all his land and ended up on the streets.
00:48:50He's worse off than a beggar now.
00:48:53This Bella not only mocked the handstring, but actually burned it.
00:48:56She truly doesn't know she's asking for death.
00:48:58It's just a worthless torn red string.
00:49:01It's your honor that my daughter burnt it.
00:49:04A torn string.
00:49:07It is worth more than every one of you combined.
00:49:16You bitch!
00:49:17How dare you look down on us!
00:49:23How dare you destroy the things I cherish.
00:49:25I will destroy all of you.
00:49:29Bitch, watch closely!
00:49:39What can you do about it?
00:49:45You are going too far!
00:49:48They have thoroughly enraged the Queen.
00:49:51These fools are doomed beyond redemption.
00:49:55The local guards here aren't enough.
00:49:58I must summon the royal guard immediately.
00:50:06Your string is gone now.
00:50:09What can you possibly do to me?
00:50:25I'm sorry.
00:50:29My daughter.
00:50:31My daughter.
00:50:33I'm sorry.
00:50:34I'm sorry.
00:50:36Go mourn in prison.
00:50:38Guards, arrest them all!
00:50:44I will completely destroy.
00:50:54That sounds like movement from outside.
00:50:57Every single one of you.
00:51:00An army!
00:51:02It's the royal guard!
00:51:11Why would the royal guard be here?
00:51:25All hail her majesty!
00:51:28May the royal power shine forever!
00:51:35All hail her majesty!
00:51:38May the royal power shine forever!
00:51:41May the royal power shine forever!
00:51:57I didn't know it was you.
00:51:58Mercy, your majesty.
00:52:00Please have mercy.
00:52:02Enough.
00:52:03You've treated my people like trash and disgraced your rank.
00:52:07Today, you lose everything.
00:52:09I revoke your titles and seize your lands.
00:52:11The Grove family is exiled to the northern ice fields for eternity.
00:52:15Guards, drag them out of my sight.
00:52:18No!
00:52:19No!
00:52:27You betrayed honor and profited from another's suffering.
00:52:30Your deaths would mean nothing.
00:52:31But, for the fact that you housed Shereel in her hour of need, I shall spare your lives.
00:52:36That one act of charity is your only salvation.
00:52:40Eric Gray, your title is revoked.
00:52:43You and your kin are commoners now.
00:52:46Confiscate all workshops.
00:52:47You are forbidden from touching the merchant trade forever.
00:52:51Disobey, and the noose will be waiting.
00:52:54This lady who always shielded me behind her and took all the malice for me
00:52:58is actually the supreme queen of the kingdom?
00:53:01Why?
00:53:03Why do I feel she is so kind?
00:53:05So familiar?
00:53:08It was my negligence that allowed nobles to bully the innocent.
00:53:12From now on, I will personally ensure your dignity is never trampled again.
00:53:17Please, rise.
00:53:25May the gods bless your majesty.
00:53:30Your majesty, I meant no offense.
00:53:33I was just so surprised earlier that I forgot to kneel.
00:53:41Your majesty.
00:53:44No, my sweetheart.
00:53:49You never have to bow to me.
00:53:53Your majesty, I don't understand.
00:53:56I owe you too much.
00:53:57Your majesty.
00:53:59What are you talking about?
00:54:01I am just an amnesiac orphan.
00:54:03You have never owed me anything.
00:54:08Your majesty, what exactly does this pendant mean?
00:54:11I have a matching half too.
00:54:12Maybe, maybe you can help me find my family.
00:54:16Do I have a family?
00:54:18Come back with me.
00:54:20Once you see the palace, you will know everything.
00:54:38Greetings, noble lady.
00:54:46Your majesty.
00:54:47This, this is too precious.
00:54:50I am just a commoner.
00:54:51How do I deserve this?
00:54:53These are but minor decorations.
00:54:55If you like, I would bring all the treasures of the kingdom to lay at your feet.
00:55:04Your majesty, you favor me so much.
00:55:07Does it really have to do with that emblem?
00:55:23What does this mean?
00:55:26Where is my family?
00:55:40This holly pattern, this unique embroidery style, it's exactly the same as what I designed.
00:55:48How is this possible?
00:55:51Good child, look closely at it.
00:55:54Does your heart remember anything?
00:56:01Mum, this is my Christmas gift to you. Hope you will like it.
00:56:05It's beautiful. This is my only precious belonging left. We'll each keep half.
00:56:14Mum will never abandon you. We will never be apart.
00:56:25Mum, you have to live on.
00:56:34You, you're okay. It's so good to see you healthy and alive. My little princess.
00:56:42Yes. Mum finally found you.
00:56:50Mum, Mum!
00:56:51Mum!
00:56:59Curse it all! I was a baron! I was meant for greatness! Now I'm a common rat, digging in the
00:57:04mud!
00:57:05Is this my life now? Is this all I am?
00:57:09It's her fault! Shereel ruined everything! Why did she get the velvet throne while we rot in the mud? She
00:57:15was a nobody and now she's a princess?
00:57:17Stop complaining! The Queen not sending us to the gallow is already a huge mercy. We'll never turn our lives
00:57:24around now.
00:57:24No! I won't accept this! Shereel used to be utterly devoted to me, willing to give me her life. She's
00:57:30just temporarily blinded by the Queen's authority.
00:57:33Son, you're right. Shereen loved you deeply. But what if you can find a chance to win her heart back?
00:57:39How, how is that possible? She's the pearl of the crown now surrounded by guards. We can't even get close
00:57:45to the palace walls!
00:57:46Use her, Erik! She's a princess now, but she's still that stupid girl who loved you.
00:57:52If you can win her back, she'll beg the Queen to pardon us. We can leave this stinking ditch and
00:57:56be back nobles again!
00:57:58Right. As long as I can see her deep down, she's still the same stupid girl I can manipulate.
00:58:11My lord, about the matter I asked of you last time, how is it going?
00:58:15Jobs in the palace aren't easy to find. I can't just help anyone unconditionally who asks me.
00:58:25Get lost. You smell like a rotting corpse. This scrap of gold won't get you through the servant's gate.
00:58:30You're too filthy to even sweep the stables. Go back to your ditch.
00:58:34My lord, have mercy. I'm a fast worker. Just give me a smock and let me join the crew.
00:58:39I'll work for scraps of black bread. I promise I'll stay invisible. I won't cause any trouble. I swear on
00:58:45my life.
00:58:46My lord, this is all I have. When I get paid, I will give it all to honor you.
00:58:51Put it on. Go to carry firewood and flour. Listen up. If you disturb the royals, the guards will take
00:58:58your head.
00:58:59The guard will chop your head off and kick it like a ball.
00:59:02Thank you for your grace, my lord.
00:59:08Shia, my dear princess, just wait. Everything you possess now will soon be back under my control.
00:59:22My darling, you need a shield. Not just a husband. A knight who will never fail you.
00:59:27And I found him. Your future husband, Duke Eris.
00:59:36Mother, I don't want to get married.
00:59:41Aris returns in triumph from the southern front.
00:59:44He is more than just a brilliant commander. He is a man of honor and a pure soul.
00:59:49He is not like the others, Shirik.
00:59:53A man's vow is like spring ice. It shatters the moment you lean on it.
00:59:58I thought I found love, but it was just a cold-blooded trap.
01:00:04Mother, I can't. I dare not trust again.
01:00:07My dear child, that snake's betrayal isn't on you.
01:00:11I will never let anyone force you to do anything against your will.
01:00:14It's just a dinner tonight, one meal.
01:00:16Go meet him. If he's not for you, I'll never bring it up again.
01:00:19I promise. Okay, I'll listen to you.
01:00:23Your Highness, Duke Eris is waiting for you in the banquet hall.
01:00:31I know. You may all leave.
01:00:36Go see another man?
01:00:38Dream on!
01:00:39Once I take her virginity tonight, she'll be mine forever.
01:00:42Even a high-born princess must bow to the sake of the royal reputation.
01:00:47As for that arrogant queen, I'll make her beg me to take her crown.
01:01:00Good evening, Shirelle.
01:01:07This place!
01:01:09Eric?
01:01:10No, impossible.
01:01:11There are heavily armed royal knights outside.
01:01:14How could a stripped common man pass through layers of blockages into the high tower?
01:01:17Who is he?
01:01:19Shh!
01:01:20Don't struggle, my noble princess.
01:01:23Your silk gown is so smooth.
01:01:25I wonder if the body underneath it is even smoother.
01:01:30What a delicate little prey you are.
01:01:32Soon I'll strip every last piece of clothing.
01:01:35And tonight, I'm going to enjoy your royal body.
01:01:45Tonight, I take everything.
01:01:48Your innocence, your pride, and your mother's throne.
01:01:52Once this scandal is done, she'll have no choice but to make me your husband and hand over the keys
01:01:58to the kingdom.
01:02:04Too loud!
01:02:14Get your filthy hands off, her highness!
01:02:19Stay back, or I'll snap her neck.
01:02:23Ah!
01:02:30Ah!
01:02:31Ah!
01:02:31Ah!
01:02:32Ah!
01:02:32Ah!
01:02:32Ah!
01:02:33Ah!
01:02:33Ah!
01:02:35Ah!
01:02:53I apologize, your highness.
01:02:55You were frightened.
01:02:56I am Aris.
01:02:58When you didn't appear at the banquet, I grew concerned.
01:03:00I overstepped, but I heard sounds of a struggle from the hallway, so I broke the door down.
01:03:06Thank God you're safe.
01:03:09Thank you, Aris.
01:03:11An assassin!
01:03:13Protect her highness!
01:03:14Move!
01:03:15Move!
01:03:24The assassin has fled.
01:03:27Her highness is in no condition to receive visitors.
01:03:30Stand down.
01:03:33Your highness.
01:03:36I wounded the assassin's right arm.
01:03:39He carries that scar.
01:03:40I'll give the guards this lead.
01:03:42We will catch him.
01:03:44I'm scared he'll come back.
01:03:47Starting tomorrow.
01:03:48The finest royal knights guard your door around the clock.
01:03:52No one without the password gets near this floor.
01:03:59Then will you be here too?
01:04:02As long as your highness needs me, I will be here.
01:04:09I mean, it's always better to have another skilled warrior nearby.
01:04:14I didn't mean anything else by it.
01:04:24Shereel!
01:04:25Thank God you're safe.
01:04:27Sarah told me a thug broke in.
01:04:29My heart nearly stopped.
01:04:31Mother.
01:04:32I'm fine.
01:04:35Duke Aris broke the door down just in time.
01:04:40That damned throg!
01:04:42Shereel!
01:04:43Did you see who it was?
01:04:46The room was too dark.
01:04:49He stayed in the shadows the whole time.
01:04:51I couldn't see his face.
01:04:54But I pierced his arm.
01:04:56Even without a face, the wound will identify him.
01:05:00Lockdown!
01:05:01Seal every exit!
01:05:03The assassin has a sword wound on his right arm.
01:05:06Turn this palace upside down.
01:05:08Drag him out!
01:05:09Dare to touch my daughter.
01:05:11And I will make sure he dies screaming!
01:05:16Duke Aris, you saved my daughter's life.
01:05:20I shudder to think what would have happened without you.
01:05:24Protecting her highness is my duty.
01:05:26No thanks required.
01:05:29No, Lord Duke, I want to thank you properly.
01:05:32If you hadn't come, I would have been trapped, Shadow, for the rest of my life.
01:05:38I will never let you live in darkness.
01:05:41It seems guards alone aren't enough.
01:05:44Shereel, even as a princess in this complex palace, you need to know how to protect yourself.
01:05:53Since Duke Aris is so skilled, perhaps he should personally teach you defensive swordman strength.
01:06:01I was so close.
01:06:03If that man hadn't burst in...
01:06:09Shereel, next time I get my hands on you, you will beg for mercy.
01:06:13And everything that's mine, I'll take it all back.
01:06:16Did you hear?
01:06:17An assassin broke in.
01:06:18The Queen has sealed all exits, not a fly escapes.
01:06:22Duke Aris himself said the assassin has a right arm wound.
01:06:24The Royal Guard is checking everyone now.
01:06:26Anyone found with an injured arm is killed on the spot.
01:06:28They'll be here any minute.
01:06:39Royal Guard investigation.
01:06:41All men on the roster, line up now.
01:06:43Expose your arms.
01:06:44Anyone who resists is treated as an accomplice.
01:06:46Executed on the spot.
01:06:53Why is there a man missing?
01:06:54Sir, it's Eric.
01:06:56He said his stomach hurt and went to the latrine behind the stables.
01:07:22I swear it was the most absurd scene I've ever witnessed in my life.
01:07:26The guy literally face-planted into a barrel full of mucer.
01:07:31And the best part, when the captain went to check his other arm, the idiot was flailing
01:07:35around like a headless chicken, panicked by the captain, and fell right into his arms.
01:07:39Got kicked away like a sack of potatoes.
01:07:42Looking at the captain's face afterward, I think he wanted to burn his whole uniform.
01:07:47Let's move.
01:07:48More places to search.
01:08:04Hold it tight, your highness.
01:08:10The sword is an extension of your arm.
01:08:14Feel its center of gravity, instead of trying to drag it with brute force.
01:08:18He...
01:08:19Why is he standing so close?
01:08:21That heat...
01:08:23Why is my heart beating as loud as war drums?
01:08:26Stop beating, Shereel.
01:08:27He'll hear you.
01:08:34Focus on the battlefield.
01:08:36An enemy's blade doesn't stop because your mind wandered.
01:08:42I understand, Duke Eris.
01:08:45Please continue.
01:08:48Please continue.
01:09:01Now, let your instincts guide it.
01:09:21Don't rush, your highness.
01:09:24Take everything step by step.
01:09:27I'm sorry.
01:09:29I'm so clumsy at this.
01:09:32You're doing incredibly well.
01:09:35Since swordmanship doesn't come naturally, let's shift to basic combat.
01:09:40How to protect yourself.
01:09:41Using your center of gravity.
01:09:44No weapon needed.
01:09:48I'm so Tommy.
01:09:52Fuck.
01:10:01What are you doing?
01:10:04This place is not now.
01:10:04What are you doing?
01:10:07Okay.
01:10:12What are you doing?
01:10:13You're just.
01:10:14I'm so goofy.
01:10:15Come.
01:10:20My lord!
01:10:27Report to the Duke.
01:10:29Every person in the palace has been inspected.
01:10:31No assassin with a wounded right arm found.
01:10:35New command. Search every corner.
01:10:38No unidentified person hides inside these walls.
01:10:40Yes, my lord.
01:10:42Duke Eris.
01:10:43Is he really still here?
01:10:46I keep feeling eyes on me.
01:10:48Cold eyes.
01:10:50Watching from somewhere dark.
01:10:52Your Highness, I will find him.
01:10:55And I will personally end him.
01:10:58I trust you, Eris.
01:11:00Then let's keep training.
01:11:02Total strength.
01:11:04Unshakable confidence.
01:11:06That's how you survive.
01:11:15If I wasn't being hunted by those dogs...
01:11:20Why would I end up rolling in that disgusting manure barrel?
01:11:23This stench.
01:11:25It won't come off.
01:11:27Shereal.
01:11:28In that damned night...
01:11:31I will make you both pay for my humiliation.
01:11:42Your Highness, why did you summon me at this hour?
01:11:46Instead of letting this assassin lurk like a snake in the dark,
01:11:50wait to strike whenever he chooses,
01:11:52we should dig his grave ourselves and lure him in.
01:11:56Your Highness,
01:11:58what are you proposing?
01:12:03I want to take the initiative.
01:12:05What exactly?
01:12:06Spread the word that the assassin was caught.
01:12:08Then two nights from now I'll go to the prayer room alone to pray.
01:12:11No guards.
01:12:12Only two personal maids.
01:12:13So he doesn't get suspicious.
01:12:15No ambush troops.
01:12:16Only you.
01:12:17Hidden in the dark.
01:12:18Absolutely not.
01:12:19That is gambling with your life.
01:12:21Eris,
01:12:23living in endless fear is no life at all.
01:12:27Better to let him walk right into the trap we set for him.
01:12:33One thing goes wrong, you could be in real danger.
01:12:36I've learned a lot from you these past few days.
01:12:40Nothing will happen.
01:12:41Trust me.
01:12:46Alright.
01:12:49I'm listening to you.
01:12:58Did you hear?
01:12:59They actually caught the assassin.
01:13:04I heard that too.
01:13:05To thank the gods,
01:13:06the princess is going to the prayer room tomorrow night.
01:13:08She's not even taking guards.
01:13:10Just one maid.
01:13:11She said she doesn't want to disturb the gods.
01:13:13Praying alone,
01:13:14my chance has come.
01:13:24That man we found,
01:13:25the sword wound on his arm,
01:13:27it's from a blade, right?
01:13:28Who cares what kind of wound it is?
01:13:30He passed out on a deserted road.
01:13:31If we hadn't found him,
01:13:32he'd be dead.
01:13:32When he were getting paid for this.
01:13:35Where is he?
01:13:35At the physician's.
01:13:37I will catch him
01:13:38and hand him to me myself.
01:13:39Why is the Duke in such a hurry?
01:13:41Probably concerned about one of his men.
01:13:43I heard that the injured man
01:13:44is part of the royal guard.
01:13:50Who are you?
01:13:51I've never seen you before.
01:13:52I was just transferred
01:13:53from the outer court by her majesty.
01:13:55She was worried the prayer room was too cold.
01:13:57She ordered me to bring this tribute incense
01:13:59so her highness stays alert before the gods.
01:14:03Since her majesty requested it.
01:14:05Go in.
01:14:15Mary, didn't I say not to disturb me
01:14:17while I'm confessing?
01:14:18Your highness,
01:14:19her majesty is concerned about your health.
01:14:21This incense will help you
01:14:23draw closer to the gods.
01:14:26Incense?
01:14:26Just leave it there.
01:14:33Long time no see, my princess.
01:14:36I've missed you.
01:14:37It is him.
01:14:48Looks like my knockout powder worked.
01:14:50The maid has already fallen asleep.
01:14:55What happened?
01:14:56Why didn't Eris come in?
01:15:05Where is the man with the sword wound on his arm?
01:15:13Is he from the guard?
01:15:15Yes, he got that sword wound over ten days ago.
01:15:19You told him to wrestle,
01:15:20but he collapsed on the road
01:15:21and was brought here.
01:15:23Oh, no.
01:15:28Struggle, my princess.
01:15:30Here, in this holy prayer room,
01:15:32I will personally crush
01:15:33your arrogant pride.
01:15:43Did you think you can fight back against me?
01:15:53Let me see who you really are.
01:16:03It's you,
01:16:05Erik.
01:16:07Sheerian,
01:16:08you were supposed to
01:16:09wail beneath my body
01:16:11and become my gold ticket.
01:16:12Shut up!
01:16:14Give him thirty lashes,
01:16:15throw him in the dungeon,
01:16:16and report to her majesty
01:16:17that the assassin has been caught.
01:16:20Forgive me, your grace.
01:16:21I let a decoy distract me
01:16:23and left you defenseless
01:16:24against that maniac.
01:16:26If you had been hurt,
01:16:27my life wouldn't have been enough
01:16:28to pay for my failure.
01:16:29I've failed you.
01:16:31Eris, look at me.
01:16:33It was your technique.
01:16:35Your strength is in me.
01:16:37You gave me the power to fight.
01:16:39But I should protect you,
01:16:40not made you do it yourself.
01:16:42I cannot forgive myself.
01:16:45If that's the case,
01:16:46then I will give you a punishment.
01:16:52If that's the case,
01:16:54then I will give you a punishment.
01:16:56Guard my side every moment
01:16:58for the rest of your life.
01:16:59Never look away.
01:17:01Be my sole protector
01:17:02for a lifetime.
01:17:05Your Highness,
01:17:07do you mean it to me?
01:17:09This isn't a punishment,
01:17:11but a reward.
01:17:12Will you accept it,
01:17:12my Duke Eris?
01:17:13I swear to protect you
01:17:15for eternity.
01:17:28By royal decree,
01:17:30Eric Gray,
01:17:30a mere commoner,
01:17:32has attempted to assassinate
01:17:33the princess.
01:17:34Sorry.
01:17:35Eric,
01:17:36what is he saying?
01:17:38By royal law
01:17:39and Her Majesty's will,
01:17:40Eric Gray is hereby stripped
01:17:42of all civil rights.
01:17:44In three days,
01:17:45he shall hang by the neck
01:17:47until dead.
01:17:50Now is not the time to cry.
01:17:52We have one last option.
01:17:56What else can we do?
01:17:58We can't even touch
01:18:00the palace walls now.
01:18:02Since we stay here
01:18:03waiting for death,
01:18:04we might as well
01:18:05risk it all.
01:18:06What do you mean?
01:18:07An unwed princess
01:18:09caught in a commoner's room.
01:18:12The rumors alone
01:18:13would ruin you forever.
01:18:15Yes!
01:18:15We can use her reputation
01:18:17against her
01:18:17and force her
01:18:19to spare our son.
01:18:20The royal family
01:18:21values reputation
01:18:22above all else.
01:18:23Maybe the queen
01:18:24will even marry
01:18:24Shiril to Eric.
01:18:25Then our good times
01:18:26will be back.
01:18:27Let's do it.
01:18:28We only have a few years
01:18:29left in this broken shed anyway.
01:18:31We either save our son
01:18:31and live a good life
01:18:32or we drag that little bitch
01:18:33to hell with us.
01:18:42God bless you,
01:18:43kind princess.
01:18:44I've never seen royalty
01:18:46this approachable.
01:18:46not a trace
01:18:47of noble arrogance
01:18:48in her eyes.
01:18:51Shiril isn't arrogant
01:18:52because not long ago
01:18:54she was just
01:18:55a grubby weaver
01:18:56dealing in coarse linen
01:18:57all day.
01:18:58You folks probably
01:18:59don't know this
01:19:00but this noble princess
01:19:01used to live
01:19:02with our family.
01:19:03No name of her own
01:19:03back then
01:19:04and her only ambition
01:19:05was to cling
01:19:06to my son, Eric.
01:19:07Poor thing.
01:19:08To keep her claws in Eric
01:19:09she would use
01:19:10bringing dinner
01:19:11as an excuse
01:19:11to sneak into
01:19:12a man's bedroom
01:19:13late at night.
01:19:15She'd stay for hours
01:19:16and the noises
01:19:17behind that door
01:19:18holy mother
01:19:20it was unbearable.
01:19:21Could it be
01:19:22her highness
01:19:23has already been
01:19:24with a man?
01:19:24If she really
01:19:25fooled about
01:19:26with a commoner man
01:19:27in his bedroom night
01:19:28that is the greatest
01:19:29stain on the royal
01:19:30family's reputation.
01:19:43It's been so long
01:19:44you must be doing well
01:19:46make the queen
01:19:46stop the execution
01:19:47now and announce
