Transcript
00:00:02Gentlemen, the highlight of today's feast is about to begin.
00:00:06My two daughters, Julia and Chloe, shall choose their husbands from among you.
00:00:11I swear by the honor of the Quintius family, whoever catches these wreaths shall be wed.
00:00:19These are all Senate nobles. Quintius, a mere spice merchant, to climb the social ladder.
00:00:24Your betrothals will determine if this family joins the nobility.
00:00:27Be careful when you throw those weeds.
00:00:29Whoever secures the highest status husband will be the family hero.
00:00:33Baby, mummy knows you will marry much better than Julia.
00:00:37Sister, let me go first.
00:00:44Gaius, we've been in love for two years.
00:00:47He promised he would only catch my wreath today.
00:00:54Throw it to me, Miss Chloe Quinteria!
00:00:56I love you!
00:00:57Miss Chloe Quinteria!
00:00:59Gaius, what is he doing?
00:01:00We had a pact.
00:01:03Throw it to me, Miss Chloe Quinteria!
00:01:06Gaius, catch it!
00:01:13Magnificent!
00:01:13The eldest son of the elite Fulius family!
00:01:16Oh, dear sister, Gaius caught my wreath.
00:01:19I guess he prefers me.
00:01:20No, this can't be right.
00:01:22Gaius and I made a promise.
00:01:23He said he would marry me!
00:01:24Chloe, you are truly my pride and joy.
00:01:31Darling, I will give you the grandest imperial wedding the Empire has ever seen.
00:01:39Gaius, don't you owe me an explanation?
00:01:42I'm the one you're dating!
00:01:45Sorry, Julia.
00:01:47You have no maternal backing.
00:01:48And your father doesn't value you.
00:01:50I have to marry your stepsister.
00:01:53Then what were the last two years for?
00:01:56Sister, isn't it obvious?
00:01:57Gaius just playing with you.
00:01:59Now, the men below are still waiting for your wreath.
00:02:01Who knows?
00:02:02Maybe even the Emperor is down there.
00:02:07Your Majesty, you've been undercover as a beggar for three months to expose the nobles' crimes.
00:02:16Let the Praetorian Guard handle the rest.
00:02:21There's evidence I must secure super-sign.
00:02:23Besides, being out here is a perfect way to judge my mother's marriage demands.
00:02:27Two birds, one stone.
00:02:35Don't go.
00:02:37Your destiny's right down there.
00:02:56Look!
00:02:57Quintius' oldest daughter has chosen a beggar!
00:03:07A rich ILS picking a beggar at a wreath ceremony!
00:03:11This is going to be quite the show!
00:03:14How did that handmade Ruth end up on a beggar's head?
00:03:18Sister, talk about bad luck.
00:03:20Of all people, you picked a beggar.
00:03:22How is father ever going to show his face again?
00:03:24You useless girl!
00:03:26Out of all these people, you threw it to a beggar!
00:03:28You're doing this just to humiliate me!
00:03:33Well, don't be discouraged, sister.
00:03:35You'll be poor, but I'm sure he's an expert at scavenging leftovers.
00:03:38At least you won't starve.
00:03:40A grand lady marrying a beggar!
00:03:43Surely Mr. Quintius will go back on his words!
00:03:46If she doesn't marry him, your word is worth nothing!
00:03:49You'll be finished in this city!
00:03:51Marry him!
00:03:53Marry him!
00:03:54Marry him!
00:04:03Marry him!
00:04:03You!
00:04:05When, Judge!
00:04:06Are you trying to run away from the engagement?
00:04:13Your Majesty!
00:04:14Why did you catch it?
00:04:15This means a binding marriage contract!
00:04:17Toss it, quickly!
00:04:18It's fine, I'm poor and filthy right now.
00:04:20A high-born lady like her would never actually agree to marry me.
00:04:23Why are you running?
00:04:24You threw the wreath yourself!
00:04:25No one forced you!
00:04:26You rebellious girl!
00:04:27Look at this beggar you've been scaled!
00:04:29If you marry him, our family will be the laughingstock of the Empire!
00:04:32After today's feast, I've finally seen these so-called nobles for the hypocrites they are.
00:04:38I'd rather marry a commoner and escape the schemes than spend my life as a pawn for noble alliances.
00:04:44Julia, the law of the wreath is absolute.
00:04:47If it lands on him, you must marry him, even if he is a beggar!
00:04:58I am willing to marry this gentleman.
00:05:06My name is Julia Quintilia.
00:05:08What is yours?
00:05:10My name is Marcus Aurelius.
00:05:12Marcus Aurelius.
00:05:13Why does that name sound so familiar?
00:05:16It's a common name.
00:05:17Rome is full of them.
00:05:18There's nothing strange about it.
00:05:21Let everyone witness.
00:05:23I take this man as my husband.
00:05:27Do you truly have no regrets?
00:05:29I have nothing.
00:05:30I am a wanderer with no home.
00:05:33I do.
00:05:34We both have hands and feet.
00:05:35We can build our own future.
00:05:36If we work hard and find jobs, we will be just fine.
00:05:39I've never met a girl so easily satisfied.
00:05:41It's a pity.
00:05:42I cannot tell her who I truly am just yet.
00:05:44I promise you I will never fail you.
00:05:46Enough!
00:05:47Treating a beggar like a prize, you are throwing your entire future away!
00:05:50A future isn't built on status, but on character and virtue.
00:05:52He may be dressed in rags, but he lacks the arrogance and hypocrisy of the nobility.
00:05:56I believe he will be a good husband, worthy of my life.
00:05:58She must marry him!
00:05:59You said whoever was hit must marry him.
00:06:02If you break your word, no one will ever trust the Quintius family again.
00:06:05Yes!
00:06:06She must marry him!
00:06:07No backing out now!
00:06:08Julia!
00:06:09If you insist on marry this beggar, I won't spend a single con your wedding!
00:06:12Very well, father.
00:06:16Soon, I will be a noble lady, while you will be a beggar's wife.
00:06:19From this day forward, you are beneath me.
00:06:22Being a beggar's wife isn't scary.
00:06:24What's scary is sharing a bed with a soul that isn't yours.
00:06:26Gaius is ripped, but he's a calculator.
00:06:29You'd better watch your own back.
00:06:40Then, we shall hold our wedding at the temple in three days.
00:06:45My mother is obsessed with getting me married anyway, so why not?
00:06:51Good.
00:06:52I will be there.
00:07:02The two Quintius' daughters are marrying today, but look at the difference.
00:07:06It's insane.
00:07:07It's more than that.
00:07:08The younger one married a relative of the emperor and will live in luxury.
00:07:11The eldest married a beggar and will only know suffering.
00:07:20Sister, why are you here alone?
00:07:22Where's your husband?
00:07:24Did even that beggar dump you?
00:07:28He didn't seem like the type to break his word.
00:07:31I'm here.
00:07:40Who is this?
00:07:41He's more radiant than the nobles of the Senate.
00:07:48Forgive me, Julia.
00:07:49I kept you waiting.
00:07:51Are you...
00:07:52Are you Marcus the beggar?
00:07:59I'm here.
00:08:01What?
00:08:04That's no beggar.
00:08:05He's an absolute stunner with incredible class.
00:08:08They look so perfect together.
00:08:10I'm obsessed.
00:08:11He's not rich, yet he dressed with such care for our wedding.
00:08:14I was right about him.
00:08:15He's a man I can trust with my life.
00:08:17Do something.
00:08:18I won't let a beggar outshine me.
00:08:30This sapphire is a full five carats worth ten million asses.
00:08:40It is the symbol of my undying love for you.
00:08:48This ring was a gift from the god Jupiter himself.
00:08:51My ancestors told me I must personally place it on the finger of my true wife.
00:08:57A gift from a god?
00:08:58A beggar meeting a god?
00:09:00You probably found that in a woodshed.
00:09:03This is a holy temple.
00:09:04How dare you present such rush before the gods?
00:09:07You are a disgrace to the Quinterius name.
00:09:10This is supposed to be a legitimate marriage contract, and you bring this?
00:09:14Julia, aren't you absolutely humiliated?
00:09:17Marriage is about the connection of souls, not the price of a ring.
00:09:21I have chosen Marcus as my husband, and nothing you say can change my heart.
00:09:25Silence!
00:09:25Haven't you brought enough shame to this family?
00:09:27Don't waste your health on such an ungrateful daughter.
00:09:30She'll be living in squabby with this Gregor soon enough.
00:09:32Then she'll realize just how catastrophic her mistake was.
00:09:36Next, we seal the union of Miss Julia Quintalia and...
00:09:39Wait.
00:09:40Augustus?
00:09:44Are you...
00:09:46Emperor Augustus?
00:09:54May the god Jupiter bless you both with eternal happiness.
00:10:00Mr. Quintius, you are truly fortunate.
00:10:03Your daughter has climbed a very tall tree indeed.
00:10:07Of course.
00:10:09My Chloe deserves nothing less than the best.
00:10:12Some people don't even have a real wedding ring.
00:10:14They just have scrap wood.
00:10:16Unlike me, with this priceless sapphire.
00:10:21Just endure it.
00:10:23You must have eaten too much lately.
00:10:25Your fingers are too fat.
00:10:27Damn it!
00:10:28Didn't you say this was custom made?
00:10:30You may now seal your vows with a kiss.
00:10:34May I?
00:10:36In the name of Jupiter, you are now husband and wife.
00:10:40You may Stream Sperm and wife to cook for a while.filth
00:10:49mean to be you. Why don't
00:10:53you care to speak to me. What is this?
00:10:55I'm too into
00:10:59the kgs of life.
00:11:10Julia, I will never let you get away with this.
00:11:17Where are you taking me?
00:11:19To our home.
00:11:21Are we moving in together?
00:11:24Of course.
00:11:26From this day on, you are my one and only wife.
00:11:30My lord.
00:11:34Damon, forgive me, master.
00:11:36We found a place that fits your destitute commoner disguise, but the rat infestate is severe.
00:11:42It will take at least two days to make it habitable for you.
00:11:45What?
00:11:46But, master, we have a backup plan.
00:11:48It's much better.
00:11:53I am so sorry.
00:11:54I'll find us a proper home as soon as I can.
00:11:58Actually, I...
00:12:00Oh!
00:12:06Spending my wedding night in a tentarium?
00:12:08Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamed of sleeping under the stars.
00:12:13Thank you, Marcus.
00:12:15I know things are hard for you, yet you still did your best to give me this.
00:12:20She's a merchant's daughter, yet she's so easily satisfied.
00:12:23Her father must have been incredibly cruel to her.
00:12:30Wait.
00:12:31Why is there music playing out here in the wilderness?
00:12:38It must be...
00:12:39a blessing from Jupiter.
00:12:43Jupiter.
00:12:53Jupiter.
00:12:54Jupiter.
00:12:55Jupiter.
00:12:59Jupiter.
00:13:02Jupiter.
00:13:04Jupiter.
00:13:04Jupiter.
00:13:04Jupiter.
00:13:04Jupiter.
00:13:07Jupiter.
00:13:07Jupiter.
00:13:08Jupiter.
00:13:08Jupiter.
00:13:11Jupiter.
00:13:12Jupiter.
00:13:17Yes? Hey, wake up!
00:13:20Pitching tents on restricted city grounds is illegal. Move out immediately.
00:13:25Apologies. We will be gone soon and won't trouble you again.
00:13:29Wait! You are... His Majesty Oscar!
00:13:33What majesty?
00:13:36Who is... His Majesty?
00:13:44Good heavens, sir! Look! That man is stealing your carriage! Stop him quick!
00:13:53Damn it! That's the third one this month! I'm catching that thief today!
00:13:58What was that about, His Majesty?
00:14:00Just a joke. Pitching a tent in a forbidden zone. Who do you think you are? The Emperor?
00:14:08Julia, I'll find us a better home. Very soon.
00:14:11It's my father's birthday today. I want to visit home.
00:14:14After how he treated you. Are you sure you want to go back?
00:14:17I believe he still loves me. He's just blinded by prejudice for now.
00:14:22Fine. I'll go with you.
00:14:24I'll bake some pastries for him before we go.
00:14:26And I'll help you.
00:14:33Master, the target you're investigating has appeared near the market.
00:14:38Forgive me, Julia. I can't go in with you.
00:14:41It's okay. I'll be fine on my own.
00:14:44Julia, when I return, I'll tell you everything.
00:14:47Immediately prepare a lavish, dignified gift for Mr. Quentius' birthday.
00:14:52Yes, sire.
00:15:00I've returned.
00:15:04Who invited you, Julia?
00:15:09Who invited you, Julia?
00:15:13It's my father's birthday.
00:15:15I've come to pay my respects and offer my blessings.
00:15:18So this is the eldest Quentius' daughter who insisted on marrying a beggar.
00:15:23Crashing the party.
00:15:24Where's your beggar husband? Too ashamed to show his face?
00:15:27Marcus has personal business to attend to.
00:15:30Personal business?
00:15:31For a commoner.
00:15:32He's not exactly the emperor, is he?
00:15:34He's just terrified of being the laughingstock.
00:15:38I bet he's already bored of you.
00:15:40Abandoned on the second day of marriage.
00:15:42Why not become my mistress instead?
00:15:44I am doing just fine.
00:15:45We are very much in love.
00:15:47As for you, Chloe.
00:15:48If this man could deceive and abandon me,
00:15:50he'll do the same to you the moment a better offer comes along.
00:15:53You!
00:15:54You married a homeless beggar.
00:15:57My daughter married a noble.
00:15:58There is no comparison.
00:16:00Look at these.
00:16:01These are the lavish gifts Gaius brought.
00:16:08And this contract,
00:16:10I shall petition His Majesty Augustus
00:16:12to grant the Quentius family a title of nobility.
00:16:17You said you came to visit father.
00:16:20So where is your gift?
00:16:22I am.
00:16:24I am.
00:16:27Father, I made these honeycakes myself.
00:16:30I hope you like them.
00:16:36Honeycakes?
00:16:37What are those worth?
00:16:38A few copper?
00:16:38How embarrassing.
00:16:39It's a gift from the heart.
00:16:41From my husband and me.
00:16:42Heart?
00:16:43Is a beggar's sentiment worth anything?
00:16:46Julia, you are a total disgrace to my name.
00:16:49Throw her out.
00:16:50I never want to see her again.
00:16:55Varus Quintius, the Imperial Palace has sent birthday gifts.
00:17:02The palace?
00:17:04His Majesty?
00:17:05I don't have nearly enough status for the Emperor to send me gifts.
00:17:08It is because of your daughter.
00:17:11Is it her or her?
00:17:16Such lavish gifts.
00:17:18Could it be the eldest daughter didn't marry a commoner after all?
00:17:22You must be mistaken.
00:17:24Julia married a beggar.
00:17:25There's no way she has palace connections.
00:17:27You're a relative of the Emperor.
00:17:28One of your uncles must have sent this for you, right?
00:17:30Oh, very likely.
00:17:32They must have been worried my own gift wasn't grand enough,
00:17:35so they sent a backer.
00:17:37See?
00:17:37I told you.
00:17:39A beggar could never afford such luxury.
00:17:41You two are the ones who truly bring honor to this family.
00:17:45Unlike Julia.
00:17:46You truly sicken me.
00:17:47From now on, I have only one daughter.
00:17:49Julia is no daughter of mine.
00:17:51Chloe married a noble, and suddenly she's his only child.
00:17:54My handmade gift means nothing to him.
00:17:56They say a father's love is unconditional.
00:17:59But you, you just see daughters as bargaining chips for profit.
00:18:03How dare you speak to me that way?
00:18:12Of course not.
00:18:14Yes.
00:18:18Augustus.
00:18:19There are no words at all.
00:18:24I must have misseen it.
00:18:27That's mine!
00:18:28Give it back!
00:18:29There's no way Julia's beggar is his majesty.
00:18:36Is this thing made of wood?
00:18:38No!
00:18:40Treasuring a beggar's trap? Disgusting.
00:18:43Chloe, I'm begging you. Give it back.
00:18:45It's from my husband. He's the only person who ever chose me.
00:18:47I'll do anything. Just give me the ring, please.
00:18:53You said it. Guards, bring the thorns from the backyard and pave the floor.
00:19:05What are you doing?
00:19:08My sources say Madam is being ruthlessly mistreated at her father's house.
00:19:15Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Julia, hold on!
00:19:21You said it yourself. Anything.
00:19:25Crawl to me on your knees across these thorns and I'll give you the ring.
00:19:29No. Father, are you really letting her do this?
00:19:33I am your daughter, too.
00:19:35Do you really want me to kneel?
00:19:37I told you! The moment you married that beggar, you shamed this family.
00:19:43You are no daughter of mine.
00:19:45That ring isn't just a symbol of our love. It's something my husband treasures.
00:19:49I have to get it back.
00:19:50My ancestors told me I must personally place it on the finger of my true wife.
00:19:53Fine. I'll kneel.
00:19:57But once I'm done, I'm dead to this family.
00:20:08Yeah! Faster!
00:20:12Julia, wait for me!
00:20:21Marcus, don't worry.
00:20:25I will get our ring back.
00:20:29I will get our ring back.
00:20:36Enough!
00:20:56Hurry!
00:20:58Hurry!
00:21:00Hurry!
00:21:01Hurry!
00:21:02Hurry!
00:21:03Hurry!
00:21:04Hurry!
00:21:07Hurry!
00:21:08Hurry!
00:21:10Hurry!
00:21:11Hurry!
00:21:13Hurry!
00:21:18What are you doing?
00:21:20No!
00:21:26This is the price of marrying a beggar.
00:21:29Risking your life for a piece of wood.
00:21:31I guess that's the most valuable thing that stinking beggar owns.
00:21:45I did what you asked. Give me the ring.
00:21:49You're pathetic. For a piece of junk?
00:21:52I almost thought it was something valuable.
00:21:55I'm bored. Here, take it.
00:22:00You!
00:22:03No!
00:22:06My mother told me I must personally place this ring on my future wife's hand.
00:22:11Faster! Faster!
00:22:14Faster!
00:22:36No! No!
00:22:38You cherish your beggar so much.
00:22:41If I disfigure you, will he still want you?
00:22:47No! No!
00:22:51Someone help!
00:22:56Someone help!
00:23:09His majesty, Augustus, has arrived!
00:23:15Help!
00:23:19Help!
00:23:32Who dares bully my wife?
00:23:35Who dares bully my wife?
00:23:46Julia, I'm so sorry. I'm late.
00:23:52At least, I didn't lose your ring.
00:23:58His majesty? Impossible! He's just a beggar!
00:24:02But look at all those guards.
00:24:05Mom!
00:24:06No way!
00:24:07He must have hired actors!
00:24:09I've only seen statues of the emperor, but he looks exactly like them.
00:24:14Looking like him doesn't make him him.
00:24:16He probably stole those clothes just to save face.
00:24:20What a joke!
00:24:21A beggar playing dress-up at my birthday party!
00:24:24Sister, look at the trash you married.
00:24:27Homeless and now impersonating the emperor?
00:24:30If his majesty finds out, you're both dead.
00:24:33You truly have a death wish.
00:24:46You... what are you doing?
00:24:48Julia, let's go.
00:24:51What's wrong?
00:24:53Who did this?
00:24:58I did.
00:24:59So what?
00:25:02Who knew she'd actually crawl through thorns for a piece of wood?
00:25:05Bits?
00:25:06Shut up!
00:25:07Who the hell do you think you are?
00:25:08You dare shout at me?
00:25:09I'll curse her all I want.
00:25:11She married a loser like you.
00:25:12I am Lady Fulius.
00:25:14If I kill you today, you should thank me.
00:25:16Enough acting!
00:25:17Guards!
00:25:18Arrest this beggar and Julia!
00:25:28No one insults my wife and lives.
00:25:33Seize them!
00:25:46Are you insane?
00:25:48I am Lady Fulius!
00:25:50You dare touch me!
00:25:54Gaius, help me!
00:25:56Whoever kills him gets a hundred thousand Sestorians!
00:26:07You stinking beggar!
00:26:09The Fulius family are relatives of the Emperor!
00:26:13How dare you!
00:26:14I dare.
00:26:15And I can wipe the Fulius family off the face of the earth.
00:26:20You're overacting, beggar!
00:26:21Let me go before I get really angry, and I might spare you!
00:26:27Shove their faces into the sacred fire.
00:26:31Stop!
00:26:32My brother is a consular!
00:26:33You think you'll walk out of here alive?
00:26:37Since when was the consul from the Fulius family?
00:26:41Scared?
00:26:41Then let us go and beg for mercy!
00:26:46Hold them down!
00:26:49My brother will destroy you!
00:26:52You'll regret this, beggar!
00:26:55Marcus, his brother is the consul.
00:26:58Maybe we should...
00:26:59No, Julia.
00:27:00They hurt you.
00:27:01I'm making them pay.
00:27:03My brother is a consul!
00:27:04I'll have you all killed!
00:27:06Get off me, you filthy beggar!
00:27:08I'll tear you apart!
00:27:09Stop!
00:27:11Stop!
00:27:12Brother!
00:27:13Save me!
00:27:14Help!
00:27:15Help!
00:27:17Go get him!
00:27:21You're the one touching my brother!
00:27:25The Emperor's Guard?
00:27:27Why are they here?
00:27:34It's me.
00:27:36So what?
00:27:41Your Majesty?
00:27:43Help!
00:27:46He really is!
00:27:48The Emperor!
00:27:55Augustus?
00:27:56No!
00:27:57He was a beggar!
00:27:58It's impossible!
00:28:00Brother!
00:28:00He's lying!
00:28:01Those clothes are stolen!
00:28:03Those actors are paid!
00:28:04It's fake!
00:28:06Yes, Mr. Isaac!
00:28:07You're mistaken!
00:28:08He's just a beggar!
00:28:09He can't be the Emperor!
00:28:10Exactly!
00:28:11Why would the Emperor be in this dump?
00:28:14Maybe it is a coincidence.
00:28:16The Emperor would never be here.
00:28:18You rebel!
00:28:19Look at the husband you chose!
00:28:22Impersonating the Emperor and offending the Senate!
00:28:24How will you fix this?
00:28:26This beggar almost killed someone!
00:28:29Don't let him go!
00:28:30In the name of the consul, take them to the dungeon!
00:28:32Yeah!
00:28:34Yeah!
00:28:35Yeah!
00:28:39Yeah!
00:28:39My son...
00:28:41His Majesty...
00:28:43Still refuses to come home?
00:28:46I heard...
00:28:47He married a woman out there.
00:28:50Ridiculous!
00:28:51I'm bringing him back myself!
00:28:56In the name of the consul, take them to the dungeon!
00:28:59Yeah!
00:28:59In the name of the conser, you're no conser.
00:29:03You have no authority here.
00:29:07You beggar!
00:29:09You know nothing of the law!
00:29:11How dare you question my brother!
00:29:17Julia, no one can save you today.
00:29:20I can't let anything happen to my husband.
00:29:27They have the conser.
00:29:29We have to go.
00:29:32Your wounds.
00:29:33I'm letting them go for today to save you.
00:29:36Running away?
00:29:38No chance!
00:29:39No.
00:29:47No!
00:29:56No!
00:29:59No!
00:30:01No!
00:30:02No!
00:30:02No!
00:30:03No!
00:30:05No!
00:30:15Marcus!
00:30:19Chloe!
00:30:20We share the same blood.
00:30:22How can you be so heartless?
00:30:24He tried to disfadger me first.
00:30:28I won't let you go that easily.
00:30:31You're dead.
00:30:40Don't, father.
00:30:41Your little actors are too busy to save you.
00:30:44Marcus, go!
00:30:46Save yourself!
00:30:47Just go!
00:30:47Go?
00:30:48He's not going anywhere.
00:30:51Why?
00:30:52Why won't you just leave us alone?
00:30:55You're so lucky, sister.
00:30:58Even a beggar loves you.
00:31:01The more you love him,
00:31:03the more I want to break you.
00:31:06Our grudge is between us.
00:31:08Do what you want to me,
00:31:09but please,
00:31:10let Marcus go.
00:31:14Julia,
00:31:15don't waste your breath.
00:31:17I can't let you pay for my life.
00:31:20How touching.
00:31:22Flirting at death's door.
00:31:24Fine.
00:31:25I'll kill you both together.
00:31:28The Empress Donna is here!
00:31:29She's here!
00:31:48Who dares harm right son?
00:31:53Matters generous!
00:32:07Her son.
00:32:09He really is the emperor.
00:32:16Julia.
00:32:18Julia!
00:32:19Stay with me!
00:32:20Physician!
00:32:21Get a physician!
00:32:28Stretch her now.
00:32:33Your majesty,
00:32:35Quintius' family is in custody.
00:32:36Marcus!
00:32:37You worried me to death.
00:32:40He really is
00:32:41the emperor.
00:32:42Arrest the entire
00:32:43Quantilius' family.
00:32:45Sell them into slavery.
00:32:52And you,
00:32:53Isaac,
00:32:54you're no consul.
00:32:55Who are you?
00:32:57He's just a eunuch.
00:32:59Fire him
00:33:00and throw him
00:33:01in the dungeon
00:33:02with the rest of them.
00:33:04He really was
00:33:05the emperor.
00:33:07I chose wrong.
00:33:10Mercy,
00:33:10your majesty,
00:33:11please!
00:33:11I was blind.
00:33:14Please,
00:33:15have mercy,
00:33:16your majesty.
00:33:17You didn't show
00:33:18Julia mercy.
00:33:19Why should I show
00:33:20you any?
00:33:24It can't be.
00:33:26How?
00:33:27They forced me!
00:33:29It was them!
00:33:30Please,
00:33:31we're relatives!
00:33:32Spare me!
00:33:40mercy,
00:33:41your majesty!
00:33:42Please!
00:33:52Go to that girl.
00:33:59Julia,
00:34:00you're awake.
00:34:01Are you hurt?
00:34:01I'm okay.
00:34:04I'm okay.
00:34:04Lie down.
00:34:07The physician said
00:34:08you need rest.
00:34:09How did we get here?
00:34:11I heard empress,
00:34:13his majesty.
00:34:14Who saved us?
00:34:17Break the engagement.
00:34:19She isn't right for you.
00:34:21Mother,
00:34:22she's different.
00:34:23She's the woman
00:34:23I've chosen.
00:34:24The royal family
00:34:25isn't simple.
00:34:26If you want her,
00:34:27she must pass my test.
00:34:29But you cannot tell her
00:34:30the truth yet.
00:34:30Mata Senna
00:34:31has saved us.
00:34:33Why would she save us?
00:34:35Do you know her?
00:34:37I'm just a beggar.
00:34:38She just happened
00:34:39to be passing by.
00:34:40Don't worry.
00:34:41I'll protect you
00:34:42from now on.
00:34:43She's giving us jobs
00:34:44in the palace.
00:34:45You as a maid,
00:34:46me as a guard.
00:34:47That's wonderful.
00:34:47We can save up
00:34:48for our own home.
00:34:53I'm sorry, Julia,
00:34:55for keeping the truth
00:34:56from you.
00:34:56Forgive me.
00:35:02Miss Julia,
00:35:03you will be working here.
00:35:08I will come find you
00:35:09as soon as I am free.
00:35:10All right.
00:35:11I will work hard
00:35:12so we can earn money
00:35:13together
00:35:13and build
00:35:14our little home.
00:35:18Damon,
00:35:19you really should have
00:35:20given me some notice
00:35:21before bringing in
00:35:22a newcomer.
00:35:24Lady Liar,
00:35:25this is Julia.
00:35:26She's new to the palace
00:35:27and still learning
00:35:28the ropes.
00:35:28I'd appreciate it
00:35:29if you could look up.
00:35:30Do not let her
00:35:31suffer any mistreatment.
00:35:33I have much to learn.
00:35:35I would be grateful
00:35:35for your instruction,
00:35:36my lady.
00:35:37Rest assured, Damon.
00:35:39I will see to Julia
00:35:40personally.
00:35:41I won't have her
00:35:42doing menial labor.
00:35:43I shall instruct her
00:35:44in the proper
00:35:44editict myself.
00:35:47Marcus.
00:35:50Something feels wrong.
00:35:52I came here
00:35:53to be a maid.
00:35:55Yet why do they
00:35:56look at me
00:35:56as if I were the empress?
00:36:01Perhaps Lady Liar
00:36:02is simply kind-hearted
00:36:03towards newcomers.
00:36:04Don't overthink it.
00:36:05Just focus on your tasks.
00:36:08Julia.
00:36:09Come with me.
00:36:10I will show you
00:36:11how to achieve
00:36:12the scrolls.
00:36:23You, new girl,
00:36:25start by scrubbing
00:36:26this floor.
00:36:26If you dare to slack off,
00:36:27you'll regret it.
00:36:28Tasks were assigned
00:36:28in advance.
00:36:29Why are you
00:36:30shivving your duties
00:36:30onto me?
00:36:32We are all kneeling here
00:36:34scrubbing in the filth.
00:36:35Yet a newcomer
00:36:36gets the easy work?
00:36:37It isn't right.
00:36:39Exactly.
00:36:40Why should you
00:36:41receive such favor
00:36:42from Lady Liar?
00:36:43Ugh.
00:36:44Ugh.
00:36:45Ha ha ha.
00:36:47Ha ha ha.
00:36:47Ha ha ha.
00:36:48Ha ha ha.
00:36:49Ha ha ha.
00:36:49Ha ha ha.
00:36:50Ha ha ha.
00:36:50Ha ha ha.
00:36:50Ha ha ha.
00:36:51Ha ha ha.
00:36:52Ha ha ha.
00:36:52Ha ha ha ha.
00:36:56Ha ha ha ha.
00:37:02A wooden ring.
00:37:03This is the emperor's
00:37:05own heirloom.
00:37:05Quick.
00:37:06Find Lady Liar.
00:37:07Tell her we've caught a thief.
00:37:09I don't care about any emperor.
00:37:11This was a gift from my husband.
00:37:13Give it back.
00:37:14Your husband?
00:37:15What do you dream your husband
00:37:17is Augustus himself?
00:37:18You're a thief.
00:37:19Hold her down.
00:37:20Don't let her escape.
00:37:24Halt.
00:37:25All of you.
00:37:29Marta Senatus.
00:37:30It is far too filthy here.
00:37:32Perhaps you should return?
00:37:33I have taken this disguise
00:37:34to see for myself
00:37:35what kind of person
00:37:36Julia truly is.
00:37:38Remember,
00:37:38she must not know
00:37:39who I am.
00:37:42Silence!
00:37:46I leave for one moment
00:37:47and you descend into chaos.
00:37:55Lady Liar,
00:37:56Julia has stolen
00:37:58the emperor's ring.
00:37:59How can a thief
00:38:00be allowed in the palace?
00:38:01You must have her seized
00:38:02and cast out at once.
00:38:03Lady Liar,
00:38:04please let me explain.
00:38:06It isn't what it seems.
00:38:07The truth is...
00:38:07Enough!
00:38:08Hand over the ring!
00:38:09The ring is mine.
00:38:10I did not steal it.
00:38:12I said give it to me!
00:38:21It truly is
00:38:22His Majesty's ring.
00:38:26This ring really is Marcus's.
00:38:28Marcus.
00:38:30He gave her something
00:38:31so sacred.
00:38:32She is bold enough
00:38:34to steal from the emperor.
00:38:35Who knows
00:38:36what she'll do next.
00:38:37She should be beaten to death.
00:38:39Lady Liar,
00:38:40please listen.
00:38:41This ring was given to me
00:38:43by the person
00:38:43I hold most dear.
00:38:44It was not stolen
00:38:45and it certainly
00:38:46does not belong
00:38:47to the emperor.
00:38:48If it's proven
00:38:49that this ring belongs
00:38:50to Marcus,
00:38:50won't his identity
00:38:51be exposed?
00:38:53I shall keep
00:38:54this ring for now.
00:38:56Once the truth
00:38:56is revealed,
00:38:57it will be returned to you.
00:39:00Thanks.
00:39:01Listen well.
00:39:03This is official Dora.
00:39:04She will manage you
00:39:05alongside me.
00:39:07Keep to your places.
00:39:08If anyone is found
00:39:09idy or deceptive,
00:39:10you shall taste the lash.
00:39:12Yes, ma'am.
00:39:13Drauling in the palace
00:39:14is forbidden.
00:39:15Your punishment
00:39:16is latrine duty.
00:39:17You shall not eat
00:39:18until they are spotless.
00:39:19Yes, my lady.
00:39:30At least this will
00:39:30dull the stench.
00:39:32Your majesty,
00:39:33Lady Leora,
00:39:34your childhood sweetheart
00:39:35is back.
00:39:36Won't you go and see her?
00:39:38Sweetheart,
00:39:38don't use that word
00:39:39for us.
00:39:40I have no heart for her.
00:39:42Leave us.
00:39:42I am going to see Julia.
00:39:44Your presence will expose
00:39:45my identity sooner or later.
00:39:59They have you
00:39:59cleaning this filth?
00:40:01This is a disgrace!
00:40:03I'm going to find
00:40:04whoever did this.
00:40:04I'll make them
00:40:05answer for it
00:40:06right now!
00:40:14It's fine.
00:40:14It's just a task.
00:40:17I can endure it.
00:40:19I won't stand for this.
00:40:20I'll find a way
00:40:21to get you away
00:40:21from this place
00:40:22as soon as possible.
00:40:27Tell me,
00:40:27what is the truth
00:40:28about that ring?
00:40:29Why do they insist
00:40:30it belongs to the Emperor?
00:40:32It was my father.
00:40:33He once killed
00:40:34a great bear
00:40:34with his bare hands.
00:40:36Augustus rewarded
00:40:36his courage
00:40:37by gifting him
00:40:38that ring.
00:40:38Oh,
00:40:39that explains it.
00:40:40They keep shouting
00:40:41about the Emperor
00:40:42and I feared
00:40:43you were keeping
00:40:43secrets from me.
00:40:46You there!
00:40:47Since when is the palace
00:40:49a place for idle gossip?
00:40:53I don't know.
00:40:54I don't know.
00:41:01It's official, Dora!
00:41:02Go, quickly!
00:41:04Don't let her see you
00:41:05or we'll be in trouble.
00:41:18Is the latrine finished?
00:41:21It is all finished,
00:41:22my lady.
00:41:23Then move on
00:41:24to the courtyard.
00:41:25I want its fossilis.
00:41:26Not a single leaf
00:41:27must remain.
00:41:27Yes, my lady.
00:41:29Finally, it's done.
00:41:31My back is nearly breaking.
00:41:42What right do you have
00:41:44to throw my things?
00:41:45Newcomers sleep
00:41:46in the stables.
00:41:47That is the palace way.
00:41:49Get moving!
00:41:51Better hurry
00:41:52before the dung piles up
00:41:54and you've nowhere
00:41:55to lie down.
00:41:56It is freezing tonight.
00:41:58How can you expect
00:42:00a person to sleep
00:42:01in the stables?
00:42:07I heard that horse, Yenna,
00:42:09can keep you warm.
00:42:12We aren't lying.
00:42:13These are the palace rules.
00:42:14You wouldn't dare refuse,
00:42:16would you?
00:42:20Why are you targeting me?
00:42:22What have I done?
00:42:24You're a thief.
00:42:26Official Dora was merciful.
00:42:28You're lucky you're going
00:42:28to the stables
00:42:29and not the dungeon.
00:42:31I am no thief.
00:42:34Stop your malicious lies.
00:42:36Not a thief?
00:42:38Next you'll say
00:42:39the emperor himself
00:42:40gave it to you.
00:42:41Look at yourself.
00:42:43You're not fit
00:42:44to touch his shadow.
00:42:53I just need my blanket.
00:42:55I cannot survive
00:42:56the night in the stables
00:42:57without it.
00:42:58Such bold words.
00:43:00This is the palace.
00:43:01Nothing here is yours.
00:43:02Don't think your protectors
00:43:03can save you
00:43:04from our ways.
00:43:05You're not going in.
00:43:06Out of my way.
00:43:21Julia, are you all right?
00:43:23Are you hurt?
00:43:24Stop!
00:43:25You dare raise a hand
00:43:26within these walls?
00:43:27Have you grown tired
00:43:28of living?
00:43:29Commander Damon?
00:43:31What are you doing here?
00:43:33Wait, then who is he?
00:43:38You have signed
00:43:39your death warrant.
00:43:40Have mercy, your majesty.
00:43:42Please, spare us.
00:43:43It wasn't intentional.
00:43:45We never meant
00:43:46for her to get hurt.
00:43:51You, you are Augustus?
00:43:56Is it true?
00:43:59Are you truly the emperor?
00:44:11Don't reveal
00:44:12your real identity.
00:44:18Forgive me, my lady.
00:44:19I was just passing by
00:44:21when I saw this girl
00:44:21being mistreated.
00:44:22I acted without thinking
00:44:24to help her.
00:44:24I meant no disrespect.
00:44:26Thank the gods.
00:44:27He's just a guard.
00:44:28He nearly scared me to death.
00:44:30But, Damon,
00:44:31you never leave
00:44:31the emperor's side.
00:44:32Why are you
00:44:33with this common god?
00:44:38Damon,
00:44:40what is going on here?
00:44:41Who is this man?
00:44:48Oh, oh right.
00:44:49This young guard here
00:44:50happens to look
00:44:50a bit like his majesty.
00:44:52I came to the palace
00:44:53specifically to question
00:44:53his background,
00:44:54fearing someone might
00:44:55impersonate the emperor
00:44:56and cause trouble.
00:44:57You, you're a new guard.
00:44:59How can you be so
00:44:59ignorant of the rules?
00:45:01Don't you know the palace
00:45:01isn't a place to wander
00:45:02in and out of?
00:45:04Apologize at once.
00:45:10I wouldn't dare
00:45:11do it again.
00:45:12It is all my fault.
00:45:14This guard was only
00:45:15worried about me,
00:45:16which is why he rushed
00:45:17in so recklessly.
00:45:18If you know you are wrong,
00:45:19then leave at once.
00:45:21Get out of my sight.
00:45:36After such a serious incident,
00:45:38official Dora
00:45:39didn't punish her at all?
00:45:40Talk about favoritism.
00:45:41And that business
00:45:42with the emperor's ring,
00:45:43it was completely
00:45:43hushed up too.
00:45:44I have no idea
00:45:45who is backing her,
00:45:46but they must be
00:45:47incredibly powerful.
00:45:49Tell me,
00:45:50if the real Augustus
00:45:51found out someone
00:45:52stole his ring
00:45:53and dared to impersonate him,
00:45:54what would he do?
00:45:55Would he order
00:45:55an immediate execution?
00:45:59Julia is a good girl.
00:46:01She is hardworking,
00:46:02steady,
00:46:03and has a pure heart.
00:46:04Mother,
00:46:05does that mean
00:46:05Julia has passed your test?
00:46:07I'm going to tell her
00:46:08the truth right now.
00:46:09I will make her
00:46:10the empress of Rome
00:46:11and never let her
00:46:11suffer another moment
00:46:12of grievement.
00:46:13My approval does not mean
00:46:14the nobles of the senate
00:46:15will accept a commoner
00:46:16as their empress.
00:46:20Next month is Lupegaria.
00:46:21Why not let Julia
00:46:22oversee the festival sacrifices?
00:46:24If she handles
00:46:25the rituals perfectly,
00:46:26it will prove
00:46:26she is the divinely chosen empress.
00:46:27It will show those nobles
00:46:29that her abilities
00:46:29far surpassed
00:46:30those of their pampered daughters.
00:46:32Very well.
00:46:33Give this ring back to her.
00:46:35Consider it my promise.
00:46:41Julia!
00:46:41Great news!
00:46:43Martyr Senius
00:46:44has decided to put you
00:46:45in charge of next month's
00:46:46Lupegaria sacrifices.
00:46:47But I don't know
00:46:48the first thing about it.
00:46:49Lupegaria is so important
00:46:51I'm afraid I'll fail.
00:46:52Don't worry.
00:46:53I have full confidence in you.
00:46:54You are more than capable.
00:46:57Besides,
00:46:58I'll be helping you
00:46:59from the shadows.
00:47:00You won't have to do it alone.
00:47:06Oh, and these are palace pastries.
00:47:08I saved them specifically for you.
00:47:15It's delicious!
00:47:16I've never tasted
00:47:17anything so wonderful.
00:47:19If you like them,
00:47:20I'll bring them to you often.
00:47:21Often?
00:47:22That might not be wise.
00:47:23I heard there are guards
00:47:25patrolling nearby constantly.
00:47:26We shouldn't meet so openly.
00:47:28What if someone sees us?
00:47:29Trust me, they won't.
00:47:30Julia, once the Lupegaria festival
00:47:32is over,
00:47:32wait for me in this courtyard.
00:47:34I have something
00:47:34very important to tell you.
00:47:37Okay.
00:47:43It has been three full days
00:47:46and yet not a single summons
00:47:47from his majesty.
00:47:50Has he completely lost
00:47:51all regard for me?
00:47:54I heard
00:47:54his majesty has been
00:47:56frequently visiting
00:47:57the servants' quarters
00:47:58to see a girl in secret.
00:47:59What?
00:48:00I am his childhood sweetheart,
00:48:02the future empress of Rome.
00:48:04Which slit dares to be so bold
00:48:06as to seduce the emperor
00:48:07right under my nose.
00:48:15My hand!
00:48:17You dare burn me!
00:48:20Forgive me, Lady Leora.
00:48:21It wasn't on purpose.
00:48:23I was just so nervous.
00:48:24Please, have mercy.
00:48:26Lady Leora is the treasurer's daughter,
00:48:28a high noble of the Senate
00:48:29and our future empress.
00:48:31Eva has truly offended
00:48:32someone she can't afford to cross.
00:48:34Lupegaria is almost here.
00:48:36With my hand like this,
00:48:38how can I stand beside
00:48:39the emperor for the ritual?
00:48:41How can I be worthy
00:48:42of being empress?
00:48:43Guards!
00:48:44Take this wretch
00:48:45to the coliseum
00:48:45and feed her to the beast!
00:48:48Mercy!
00:48:49Lady Leora,
00:48:49please spare me!
00:48:50I'll never do it again!
00:48:51I can heal that burn for you.
00:49:00You?
00:49:01Who are you?
00:49:02My name is Julia.
00:49:04My father is a spice merchant,
00:49:05so I have been familiar
00:49:06with herbs since childhood.
00:49:08I know of a plant
00:49:09that can soothe burns.
00:49:10It is very effective.
00:49:12A merchant's daughter?
00:49:14My lady,
00:49:15why not try it?
00:49:16You have nothing to lose.
00:49:17If she fails to heal you,
00:49:18it won't be too late
00:49:19to punish her then.
00:49:27I have one request.
00:49:31How many gold coins do you want?
00:49:34I want no gold.
00:49:35I only ask that if I heal your hand,
00:49:37you spare Eva.
00:49:40Playing the Morton, are we?
00:49:41Fine, Julia, I agree.
00:49:43But mark my words.
00:49:44If you fail,
00:49:45your lives are forfeit,
00:49:47both of them.
00:49:51Huh.
00:49:52Truly doesn't hurt as much,
00:49:53and the swelling has gone down.
00:49:56Apply this juice to the wound
00:49:58every day for a few days.
00:49:59The burn will heal quickly
00:50:00without leaving a scar.
00:50:03I used to bully you constantly,
00:50:05yet today you saved my life.
00:50:08I am so sorry, Julia.
00:50:11Please, forgive me.
00:50:12The past is in the past.
00:50:15Let's not speak of it again.
00:50:18From now on,
00:50:19we shall be like sisters
00:50:21and look out for one each other.
00:50:29What?
00:50:30Julia is that lowly servant
00:50:31who's been seducing his majesty?
00:50:39My lady,
00:50:40please do not be angry.
00:50:41If his majesty truly loved her,
00:50:43why would he leave her as a mere maid?
00:50:44She is no threat to your position.
00:50:46True.
00:50:46His majesty is likely just bored
00:50:49and finds her a novelty.
00:50:51Perhaps I judged her too harshly.
00:50:53My lady,
00:50:54that Julia
00:50:55is nothing but a slut
00:50:57who seduces every man she sees.
00:51:00She is pure evil.
00:51:04I am a maid
00:51:05in the domestic office
00:51:05with Julia
00:51:06and I know her better than anyone.
00:51:07Not only is she lazy,
00:51:09but she constantly flirts
00:51:10with the guards.
00:51:10Worse,
00:51:11she is a thief.
00:51:12She stole the emperor's own ring.
00:51:16The emperor's ring?
00:51:17You mean the wooden one?
00:51:18The one he's worn since childhood?
00:51:20The one meant
00:51:21for the future empress?
00:51:22Such an audacious wretch!
00:51:24Her intentions are treasonous!
00:51:26I will never let her
00:51:27get away with this.
00:51:28My lady,
00:51:29I heard that slut
00:51:30is in charge
00:51:30of organizing the loop
00:51:31of the career sacrifices.
00:51:33I have a plan.
00:51:35You will never align your jewelry.
00:51:38Good.
00:51:39We'll do it.
00:51:40Julia,
00:51:42Lupergarious
00:51:43will be the day
00:51:43you die!
00:51:47I will never let her
00:51:50you die!
00:51:52I will never let her
00:51:54you die!
00:51:54I will never let her
00:51:55I will never let her
00:51:58I will never let her
00:51:58Be careful.
00:51:59Whatever you do,
00:52:00don't drop it.
00:52:02Julia,
00:52:03you've done a magnificent job!
00:52:04The nobles are all
00:52:04praising how well
00:52:05the sacrifice was organized.
00:52:07Even Matersenius
00:52:07looked pleased
00:52:08and couldn't stop
00:52:08complimenting you.
00:52:09That is a relief.
00:52:11I'm glad I didn't fail
00:52:12the trust Matersenius
00:52:12placed in me.
00:52:13I heard your little guard
00:52:15is waiting for you
00:52:16in the backyard.
00:52:17He says he has
00:52:17something important
00:52:18to tell you.
00:52:19Go on.
00:52:21Assassin!
00:52:22Catch the
00:52:22Lupercali assassin!
00:52:24Block all exits!
00:52:25No one is allowed
00:52:25to leave!
00:52:26What?
00:52:27What's happening?
00:52:28How could there be
00:52:29an assassin
00:52:29at the sacrifice?
00:52:30The assassin
00:52:31disguised as a guard
00:52:32just tried to stab
00:52:33Lady Leora,
00:52:34the treasurer's daughter.
00:52:36Lady Leora
00:52:37is the daughter
00:52:38of the treasurer
00:52:38and the companion
00:52:39of His Majesty's youth.
00:52:41She is our
00:52:41disestined empress.
00:52:43This is an act
00:52:44of high treason
00:52:45that must be
00:52:45investigated
00:52:46to the fullest extent.
00:52:47What are you doing?
00:52:50I am innocent!
00:52:52I truly did
00:52:53nothing wrong!
00:52:54I didn't conspire
00:52:56with any assassin!
00:52:57You cannot do
00:52:58this to me!
00:53:01Lady Leora,
00:53:03Julia has been
00:53:04brought before you.
00:53:09Lady Leora,
00:53:10I truly know
00:53:11nothing of this.
00:53:12You were the one
00:53:13in charge of
00:53:14organizing the sacrifice.
00:53:16An assassin slipped
00:53:17in under your watch.
00:53:18Do you really
00:53:18dare to say
00:53:19you knew nothing?
00:53:23How dare you
00:53:24arrange an assassination
00:53:25at the Luperalia festival?
00:53:26What is your motive?
00:53:28Have you been jealous
00:53:29of my position
00:53:29as future empress
00:53:30and decided
00:53:31to get rid of me?
00:53:32I truly didn't.
00:53:34Lady Leora,
00:53:34I was responsible
00:53:35for the event
00:53:36but I swear
00:53:36I know nothing
00:53:37about an assassin.
00:53:38You refuse to confess?
00:53:40Don't be a fool, Julia.
00:53:42The whip will
00:53:43wring the truth
00:53:44out of you soon enough.
00:53:45Weren't you given
00:53:46full responsibility
00:53:47for the Lupastia sacrifice?
00:53:49An assassin infiltrated
00:53:51a heavily guarded site
00:53:52and you claim ignorance?
00:53:54That is gross negligence
00:53:55and negligence
00:53:56is a capital offense.
00:53:58Indeed.
00:53:59The palace is guarded
00:54:00day and night.
00:54:02No ordinary person
00:54:03could simply walk in
00:54:04unless Julia conspired
00:54:05with the assassin
00:54:06and let him in.
00:54:07There is no other explanation.
00:54:09I truly know nothing
00:54:11of the assassin.
00:54:12Please, Lady Leora,
00:54:13give me some time.
00:54:14I will find the truth
00:54:15and prove my innocence.
00:54:16Give you time?
00:54:18You merely seek
00:54:19to crawl to His Majesty
00:54:20and hide behind his favor.
00:54:21Do not think
00:54:22your transparent schemes
00:54:23escape my notice.
00:54:24His Majesty?
00:54:26Still acting?
00:54:27You think I don't know?
00:54:28You are the slut
00:54:29who has been seducing
00:54:30the Emperor
00:54:30with a face like that.
00:54:32No wonder
00:54:32you're so restless.
00:54:34Even if His Majesty
00:54:35chose a commoner,
00:54:36it wouldn't be
00:54:36a lowly rat like you!
00:54:40I have never
00:54:41seduced the Emperor.
00:54:42I've never even
00:54:43seen his face.
00:54:44How could I seduce him?
00:54:45Have you forgotten
00:54:46that I healed your burn
00:54:47just two days ago?
00:54:49How can you repay
00:54:50my mindness
00:54:50with such outrageous
00:54:51accusations?
00:54:52You dare question me?
00:54:54You arrogant wretch!
00:54:56God, seize this
00:54:57unrepentant slut!
00:54:58Look closely, Julia!
00:55:00You are standing
00:55:01before the daughter
00:55:02of the Treasurer,
00:55:03the woman chosen
00:55:03by Marta Senius
00:55:04to be Emperor.
00:55:05To talk back now
00:55:06is pure suicide!
00:55:08If you are
00:55:08the Treasurer's daughter
00:55:09and the future Empress,
00:55:10you should be
00:55:11reasonable and just.
00:55:12I have never even
00:55:13seen the Emperor.
00:55:14How could I seduce him?
00:55:16Besides,
00:55:17I am already married.
00:55:18I would never
00:55:18seek another.
00:55:22You are married?
00:55:23Who is your husband?
00:55:26His...
00:55:26His Majesty's?
00:55:33My Lady,
00:55:34don't let her fool you.
00:55:35This ring was stolen
00:55:36by her husband.
00:55:37Her husband is just
00:55:38a minor guard in the palace.
00:55:40I saw it myself.
00:55:41They steal at night
00:55:42and flirt openly
00:55:43during the day.
00:55:44It is an absolute outrage.
00:55:46My husband is indeed
00:55:47a guard,
00:55:48but we have never been
00:55:50inappropriate in public,
00:55:51and we are certainly
00:55:52not thieves.
00:55:53As if anyone
00:55:53would believe you.
00:55:54Lady Leora,
00:55:55I bet the assassin
00:55:56who attacked you
00:55:57was none other
00:55:57than her guard husband.
00:55:58This rash on my face
00:55:59has lasted for days.
00:56:01The court physicians
00:56:02have prescribed
00:56:03so many ointments,
00:56:04but none of them
00:56:04seem to work.
00:56:06Matasinatus,
00:56:07I heard that Julia
00:56:07healed Lady Leora's burn
00:56:09with just a handful
00:56:10of herbs last month.
00:56:11Perhaps we should
00:56:12let Julia examine you.
00:56:14I didn't realize
00:56:15Julia was so skilled.
00:56:16Go and summon her.
00:56:18Once this rash is gone,
00:56:19it will be time
00:56:20for His Majesty
00:56:20to name her Empress.
00:56:21Mater Senaris!
00:56:24Terrible news!
00:56:25Lady Leora's arrested Julia
00:56:27and is about
00:56:27to have her tortured.
00:56:30This is madness.
00:56:31Quick, come with me.
00:56:33You refuse to find the truth,
00:56:35choosing instead
00:56:36to frame the innocent
00:56:38and abuse your power.
00:56:39It is your actions
00:56:41that offend the gods,
00:56:42and you will surely
00:56:43be punished.
00:56:45Guards!
00:56:45Fetch the whip!
00:56:46I will have a confession
00:56:47from her today.
00:56:48Palace law dictates
00:56:49that no noble
00:56:50has the right to use
00:56:51private torture
00:56:52except for Marta Senas
00:56:53and the Emperor.
00:56:56My lady,
00:56:57I shall go to Marta Senas
00:56:59now and get an order
00:57:00to have both her
00:57:01and her guard husband
00:57:02arrested and executed
00:57:03as a warning to others.
00:57:08And who exactly
00:57:09is it you want me
00:57:10to execute?
00:57:16release her!
00:57:21You show no respect
00:57:23for palace law
00:57:24and use illegal torture.
00:57:25Who gave you permission
00:57:27to cause such chaos
00:57:28during the Luperfaria's sacrifice?
00:57:30I am the Emperor's
00:57:31chosen companion,
00:57:32the future Empress of Rome.
00:57:34To discipline a lowly servant
00:57:35is my prerogative.
00:57:37I will soon rule these halls.
00:57:38Who are you
00:57:39to stand in my path
00:57:40and preach to me?
00:57:42Insolence.
00:57:42Do you truly have no idea
00:57:44to whom you are speaking?
00:57:45You're just some
00:57:46low-born old official.
00:57:47If I don't teach you a lesson,
00:57:48you'll never learn your place.
00:57:49Guards!
00:57:50Seize her as well!
00:57:51I never imagined
00:57:52you would be so venerful
00:57:53and disrespectful of rank.
00:57:54I was blind
00:57:55to let someone like you
00:57:56near his majesty!
00:57:58Ha!
00:57:58You think your mate
00:57:59is Senanus?
00:58:00You're just an old woman
00:58:01too ashamed
00:58:02to show her face.
00:58:03You must have a death wish.
00:58:06Let's see who dares.
00:58:10Guards!
00:58:11Bring me my whip!
00:58:12I'm going to teach
00:58:13this arrogant old crone
00:58:14a lesson she'll never forget.
00:58:16Lady Leora,
00:58:17you cannot.
00:58:17Palace law forbids
00:58:18the private whipping
00:58:19of court officials.
00:58:20If His Majesty
00:58:21or Martyr Senanus
00:58:21finds out,
00:58:22they will be furious.
00:58:23Please, have mercy.
00:58:24Get away from me,
00:58:25you slut!
00:58:42Why isn't Julia here yet?
00:58:44The sacrifice ended
00:58:45quite a while ago.
00:58:48Could something have happened?
00:58:50Your Majesty,
00:58:51it is a disaster.
00:58:52Lady Leora has arrested Julia
00:58:53and is attempting to torture
00:58:54your mother, Martyr Senanus.
00:58:57Damn it!
00:58:58Leora is cruel and arrogant.
00:59:00Something has gone wrong.
00:59:11Leora,
00:59:12you dare commit such violence
00:59:14and harm palace staff
00:59:15at a sacred site?
00:59:17Have you no fear
00:59:18of the gods' wrath?
00:59:21Lady Leora,
00:59:22it was I who offended you.
00:59:23It is all my fault.
00:59:24Please,
00:59:25do not involve
00:59:26official Dora.
00:59:28You certainly love
00:59:29playing the Martyr.
00:59:31Since you are so eager
00:59:31to take this old
00:59:32crone's punishment,
00:59:33I will grant your wish.
00:59:34I'll make sure you learn
00:59:35the price of disobedience
00:59:36so you never meddle again.
00:59:37Enough, Leora.
00:59:38In the name of
00:59:39Matter Senanus,
00:59:39I warn you for the last time,
00:59:41do not push this too far.
00:59:42The Emperor
00:59:43will never forgive you
00:59:44for this.
00:59:44You're just a lowly
00:59:45old servant
00:59:46too afraid to show your face,
00:59:47yet you dare claim
00:59:48to be Martyr Senanus?
00:59:49Today,
00:59:49I shall punish you
00:59:50on behalf of the Emperor.
00:59:51The assassin
00:59:52has been apprehended.
00:59:54He waits your judgment
00:59:54at the threshold.
00:59:55Bring him in at once.
00:59:57Let everyone see
00:59:59the ironclap proof
01:00:00that this slut
01:00:01conspired with an assassin.
01:00:10Julia conspired
01:00:11with this guard
01:00:11to breach palace security
01:00:13and arrange
01:00:14an assassination
01:00:14against me.
01:00:16Guards,
01:00:16execute them both
01:00:18immediately
01:00:18as an example.
01:00:24I would like
01:00:25to see who dares.
01:00:27Your Majesty,
01:00:29how could it be you?
01:00:37His Majesty,
01:00:38Augustus,
01:00:39Matas Senorius.
01:00:47How is this possible?
01:00:49How could she be
01:00:50Matas Senorius?
01:00:51Leora,
01:00:52I believe that
01:00:53as a daughter of nobility
01:00:54you would be wise
01:00:55and kind.
01:00:56I never expected
01:00:58such heartless cruelty.
01:00:59You insult your superiors
01:01:01and abuse the law.
01:01:03You dream of being
01:01:04Empress?
01:01:05Never.
01:01:09No.
01:01:10Please.
01:01:11Matas Senorius,
01:01:13I know I was wrong.
01:01:14Please.
01:01:15Forgive me.
01:01:17Your Majesty,
01:01:18we grew up together.
01:01:19Please, please,
01:01:20do not abandon me.
01:01:21You attempted to use
01:01:23illegal torching
01:01:24without even knowing
01:01:25the truth.
01:01:25If I hadn't arrived
01:01:27in time,
01:01:27you would have committed
01:01:28a terrible crime.
01:01:30This is your own doing.
01:01:31Your Majesty,
01:01:32I didn't mean it.
01:01:33It was all Kaya.
01:01:36It was Kaya
01:01:37who gave me
01:01:38these ideas.
01:01:40Kaya,
01:01:40for spreading malicious
01:01:41rumours
01:01:42and violating
01:01:42palace law,
01:01:43you are sent to the
01:01:44Coliseum as a slave.
01:01:46Matas Senorius,
01:01:47I was wrong.
01:01:48Please spare me this one.
01:01:52Your Majesty,
01:01:53I may have been wrong,
01:01:55but Julia was the
01:01:56organiser of the
01:01:56Lupegania sacrifice.
01:01:58She must be held
01:01:59responsible for the
01:01:59assassination attempt.
01:02:02If Your Majesty
01:02:03hadn't been here today,
01:02:05Lady Liorta would have
01:02:06been in terrible danger.
01:02:08Your Majesty,
01:02:09my life is of no
01:02:10consequence,
01:02:11but the safety of the
01:02:12palace is paramount.
01:02:13Julia must be punished.
01:02:15If assassins can enter
01:02:17the palace like this,
01:02:18who will protect us
01:02:19in the future?
01:02:20I beg you,
01:02:21punish Julia.
01:02:28If there is evidence
01:02:29that Julia is innocent,
01:02:31what should be the fate
01:02:33of those who framed her?
01:02:34Liora,
01:02:34I am asking you,
01:02:36if Julia is proven
01:02:37innocent,
01:02:37what should be your
01:02:38punishment?
01:02:38I am willing to be
01:02:39demoted to a slave
01:02:40and never set foot
01:02:41in the palace again.
01:02:42Fine.
01:02:43It is settled.
01:02:44Guards,
01:02:45bring him in.
01:02:52Your Majesty's foresight
01:02:54was undearing.
01:02:55As commanded,
01:02:56I stationed sentries
01:02:57at every exit.
01:02:58We captured the
01:02:59assassin as he fled
01:03:00and have secured
01:03:01his confession.
01:03:02Mercy,
01:03:02Your Majesty,
01:03:03it was Lady Liora's
01:03:04father,
01:03:05the treasurer,
01:03:06who forced me.
01:03:07He made me disguise
01:03:08myself as a guard
01:03:09and attack Lady Liora
01:03:10to frame Julia.
01:03:11He wanted to get rid
01:03:12of Julia so Liora
01:03:13could become Empress.
01:03:14I had no choice.
01:03:15Please spare me.
01:03:20It's over.
01:03:21Everything is ruined.
01:03:24Do you know why
01:03:25I believe in Julia?
01:03:27Because she is my wife,
01:03:29the true Empress
01:03:30of the Roman Empire.
01:03:36Cast Liora out of the palace.
01:03:37She is barred
01:03:38from entering forever.
01:03:40Furthermore,
01:03:41arrest the treasurer
01:03:42and throw him into the dungeon
01:03:43to await his sentence.
01:03:50I hate you!
01:03:51If it weren't for you,
01:03:52all of this would be mine.
01:03:53The throne would be mine
01:03:53and the Emperor would be mine.
01:03:55You ruined everything!
01:03:56You are wrong.
01:03:57The person who brought you
01:03:58to this end was never me.
01:03:59It was you.
01:04:00Your own greed,
01:04:01jealousy and cruelty
01:04:02led you here.
01:04:03You have only yourself
01:04:04to blame.
01:04:09I am sorry for all the suffering
01:04:11you've endured.
01:04:12It doesn't matter now,
01:04:13Your Majesty.
01:04:14Do not call me
01:04:15Your Majesty.
01:04:16Call me Marcus.
01:04:17Only you may call me that.
01:04:18Marcus,
01:04:20now that the guilty
01:04:21have been punished,
01:04:21all misunderstandings
01:04:22are resolved.
01:04:27From this day forth,
01:04:29I declare before the gods,
01:04:30Julia is the eternal
01:04:31and only empress
01:04:32of the Roman Empire.
01:04:57of the Roman Empire.
