00:00:00Horatio Zanetti, the Empress's father, colluded with the enemy.
00:00:06Unforgivable!
00:00:07I strict Winona Zanetti of her title as Empress and send her back to her family.
00:00:10In three days, she and the Zanetti household will be executed!
00:00:14Executed!
00:00:24Everyone this way!
00:00:26Follow me!
00:00:28Come on!
00:00:30All of you, this way!
00:00:36So this is the wine cup made from the Tyrant Skull.
00:00:39Too bad we didn't get to see how the skull was turned into this wine cup.
00:00:46Horatio Zanetti, the Empress's father, colluded with the enemy.
00:00:49I strip her of her title.
00:00:51She and the Zanetti household will be executed!
00:00:53Empress Winona?
00:01:17Empress Winona?
00:01:21The daughter of Horatio and Zanetti?
00:01:23Wait, did I just time travel to over 1,300 years ago in the Nevarian dynasty and become the Empress Winona?
00:01:28Who had the most tragic death in history?
00:01:30Her lips didn't even move.
00:01:31What the hell?
00:01:32How did I hear her voice?
00:01:33Time travel?
00:01:341,300 years ago?
00:01:35Has her body been possessed by a soul from 1,300 years in the future?
00:01:39So this is Noctus Fitzgerald, who died three years later, had his corpse whipped, and his skull turned into a wine cup.
00:01:45He's good looking though.
00:01:47Whaaat?
00:01:48I'm healthy as ever.
00:01:50How the hell would I just drop dead in three years?
00:01:53Impossible.
00:02:00Huh? So shallow.
00:02:02Just like the rest of the harem ladies.
00:02:04Swooning over my royal looks.
00:02:06Ooh, this very skull right here.
00:02:08Just one minute ago I was at a museum touching this exact skull.
00:02:11A skull made wine cup!
00:02:12Not for my looks?
00:02:14All right, all right, all right.
00:02:16Touched my skull, huh?
00:02:18Once I figure out who you are, you will die in agony.
00:02:23If you take down this tyrant you'll become the ruler, system successfully bound.
00:02:27Mission 1. Save the entire Zanetti family.
00:02:29Complete the mission to earn 30 points.
00:02:31If you fail, 50 points will be deducted.
00:02:33At minus 200 points your soul will erase your soul forever.
00:02:36What? My first mission and it's already this hard?
00:02:39Might as well find a way out of the palace.
00:02:41Winona!
00:02:42Huh?
00:02:43Suddenly calm.
00:02:44Not going to beg me for mercy for your whole family?
00:02:47I'm exhausted, your majesty.
00:02:53My heart's broken.
00:02:54I no longer have the strength to beg.
00:02:56Please, allow me to go back home right now.
00:02:59After all, in three days my entire family will be executed.
00:03:02I'd rather return and spend the last moments with my family.
00:03:07Damn tyrant.
00:03:08What's the point of begging you anyway?
00:03:10In history, Empress Zanetti knelt into her head blood and you still executed her whole family.
00:03:14Instead of begging you, I should figure out how to escape and flee the capital.
00:03:18Once you're dead, I'll come back to admire your skull up close.
00:03:22Perfect.
00:03:23If I didn't still want answers about the future from you, I'd have already smashed your head, dug out your skull, and examined it myself.
00:03:33Winona, what do you think about your father's betrayal?
00:03:37If I had to answer a million times, I'd still say that he is innocent.
00:03:45Damn tyrant.
00:03:46Horatio Zanetti only faked surrender.
00:03:48In one month, he was to return and triumph.
00:03:50What awaited him, though, was news that the entire Zanetti family had been executed.
00:03:54The poor old general died up on the spot, coughing up blood.
00:03:57Nevarian lost a loyal and capable general.
00:03:59Within two decades, the nation fell.
00:04:01Horatio Zanetti faked his surrender?
00:04:04How could this happen?
00:04:05Did I really doom the Zanettis and drag Novarian to its fall?
00:04:10Good thing I ordered their execution in three days.
00:04:15Things can still be changed.
00:04:18Hm?
00:04:19Why is the damn tyrant so quiet now?
00:04:21Throughout history, which emperor hasn't taken lives?
00:04:24Why am I the one tagged as a tyrant?
00:04:26And she even uses the word damn.
00:04:27Winona, what kind of person am I to you?
00:04:32Your majesty to me, you are undoubtedly wise and mighty, capable of conquering all lands and awing the entire world.
00:04:45Among hundreds of emperors in history, you're quite honored to rank as one of the three great tyrants.
00:04:54Don't you think you're a total freak?
00:04:55Good thing you only lived to 26.
00:04:57If you had lived to 62, I'm afraid Nevarian would have been completely ruined with just you left standing.
00:05:02Winona Zanetti!
00:05:03Winona Zanetti!
00:05:04He was just as the rumors described.
00:05:08He's so fickle and moody, he gets angry just as I praise him.
00:05:12Forget it.
00:05:13The most important thing right now is saving the Zanetti family.
00:05:16I can deal with her later.
00:05:20Winona, do you truly believe he is innocent?
00:05:25Yes.
00:05:26In that case, I'll grant your entire family a pardon.
00:05:30However, no final verdict has been made on Horatio Zanetti's treason, so the entire family will be confined in a general mansion for now.
00:05:37Once there is solid proof of treason, I'll use your entire clan as a blood offering to the war flag.
00:05:43Why is he suddenly to become wise now?
00:05:45Is he trying to trick me on purpose?
00:05:51Why is he suddenly to become wise now?
00:05:53Is he trying to trick me on purpose?
00:05:55What?
00:05:57You're not happy?
00:06:01I am happy, your majesty.
00:06:02Allow me to thank your majesty for your mercy to my family.
00:06:06Rise.
00:06:10I'll have the imperial guards escort you back to the general mansion with this news.
00:06:14Got it.
00:06:15System, I haven't done anything yet, and I've already saved the entire Zanetti clan?
00:06:19Yes, congrats, host. Mission accomplished. You've earned 30 points.
00:06:23He actually let the Zanettis off?
00:06:24Wasn't he known for being violent, ruthless, and stubborn?
00:06:28Why do I feel like he's not that bad?
00:06:30If what she says is true, then I could take the upper hand in the future and avoid the mistakes of the past,
00:06:35and become a legendary ruler.
00:06:37You're Grace. What caused your late return?
00:06:48Oh crap, who is this person? Without real Winona's memories, I don't know anyone. If I go to the general mansion, would I expose myself?
00:06:54Uh-huh.
00:06:55You're Grace.
00:06:56Wait.
00:06:57Uh, I'm feeling a bit parched.
00:07:06Got it.
00:07:09System, is there any way I can get Winona's memories? Hurry, hurry, this is an emergency!
00:07:14You can spend 20 points to buy a Restoration L. It'll instantly give you all the memories.
00:07:18Fine.
00:07:26So Empress Winona was in love with Prince Julian? And she entered the palace as a spy?
00:07:32Prince Julian did take the throne after the tyrant died out of the blue in history.
00:07:36Wait, was it Zanetti's downfall and the tyrant's death all part of his plan?
00:07:39Your theory is actually plausible. Once you have the chance, you can meet him yourself and see what he truly is.
00:07:45I probably won't need to. If he's behind everything, he'll come to me. We'll follow the historical timeline. If he's behind this, we'll destroy him.
00:07:56Well played, Julian. I'm curious to see what you're really after.
00:08:02Susan, His Majesty has already granted pardon to the Zanetti family.
00:08:12That's wonderful, Your Grace. You and the General Manchin are both saved.
00:08:23Her eyes, her nose, her mouth, they look exactly like my original body.
00:08:29No. There are differences, too. Back in the 21st century, I hadn't even been in a relationship.
00:08:35But this body has already been with a tyrant who's likely been with countless women. I'm not a virgin anymore.
00:08:43I've devoted myself to court affairs. I've never touched a single woman. Women only get in the way of proper business.
00:08:50Your Majesty, if you miss Her Grace so much, why not just go in and see her?
00:08:55What?
00:08:56Your Majesty, you've already rescinded your decree. You're no longer shipping her for title, and you even pardon the Zanettis.
00:09:03Her Grace would never blame you. Just go in and see her. Why stay out here, missing her through a wall, and catching a cold?
00:09:10Shut up. There's… there's no way I'd miss that woman.
00:09:15Your Majesty, you followed Her Grace all the way from Balance Hall to Joy's Palace. If that's not missing her, what is? You are totally in love with her.
00:09:25How could I, an emperor, fall in love with a girl from another era? Too bad I can't explain that to them.
00:09:32So now, I have to fake love to spy on her thoughts.
00:09:39Let's go back to the Balance Hall.
00:09:41No way. I still need to follow her to the General Mansion to see what's going on there.
00:09:46Your Majesty, you can't even bring yourself to take a step away. And you say you don't miss her? Just go take a look at her. Give into your heart. See Her Grace just once.
00:09:57Lina, Amelia, you're just daughters-in-law of our family. As long as my sons give you divorce letters, then your fathers can go plead with His Majesty and take you home.
00:10:17Ma, I'm not leaving.
00:10:20Go home. If anyone can escape, it's worth it. You're not really part of the Zanetti family. This tragedy shouldn't fall on you.
00:10:40I'm not leaving. Who says I'm not part of the Zanetti family? From the day we married, I became part of this family. I'd rather die with you and our baby than live on alone.
00:10:49Don't be a fool! Do you really want me and the child to die abandoned in the wild?
00:10:57Listen. Our child and I will be waiting for you to bury us.
00:11:14Take it. I'm the one who failed you.
00:11:19You're the one rushing to die, not me.
00:11:27My love. My period. It was supposed to come a few days ago. But it still hasn't. Ma, I think I might be pregnant again.
00:11:37Why didn't you tell me?
00:11:39I haven't seen a doctor yet. How could I say it so casually? I was planning to wait another half month and then invite a doctor to check. But now it seems it's better no doctor came. That way, no one else knows I'm carrying your child. And I still have a chance to carry on the Zanetti bloodline.
00:11:59That's such a blessing. Thank God for blessing our family.
00:12:09You really should take it.
00:12:14Life is only going to get hard for you if it becomes unbearable. Consider giving the child away.
00:12:20Don't sacrifice your life just for the child.
00:12:32Amelia, you need to leave now. Before His Majesty recalls this matter, if you stay and His Majesty remembers, he might send Imperial doctors to examine you and you'll be forced to miscarry.
00:12:51My love. My love.
00:12:53My love.
00:12:54Leave.
00:13:05Pa!
00:13:07Huh. A decree. No one from the Zanettis can leave.
00:13:14Your Grace, we've arrived.
00:13:20Amelia.
00:13:21My lord. I've been disowned by the Zanettis. I'm no longer one of them.
00:13:29Pa.
00:13:30Are you okay?
00:13:31I'm fine. Let's go home.
00:13:35Amelia Scott? When the Zanettis were sentenced, she faked a pregnancy and cut ties. After they were cleared, she returned with a random child pretending he was a Zanetti to reclaim a family's glory. Just so she could enjoy it. What a clever move.
00:13:49Come on. Let's go.
00:13:53I can't believe this really happened. I owe the Zanetti for them their great debt, and I won't let anyone tarish their name.
00:13:59I want Amelia Scott to live in lifelong regret beyond redemption.
00:14:11Lord Scott? Amelia? What are you all doing?
00:14:14What are you all doing?
00:14:18Winona. You're back.
00:14:20Hmm.
00:14:24Hmm.
00:14:26Hmm.
00:14:27Hmm.
00:14:28Hmm.
00:14:34Hmm.
00:14:36Hmm.
00:14:37Hmm.
00:14:38Hmm.
00:14:39Hmm.
00:14:40Hmm.
00:14:41Hmm.
00:14:42Hmm.
00:14:44Hmm.
00:14:45Hmm.
00:14:46Oh, maybe.
00:14:55No!
00:14:57Hmm.
00:14:58Hmm.
00:15:00Hmm.
00:15:01이게?
00:15:02Even initially,
00:15:03long Birthday.
00:15:04Don't blame us for not taking you back.
00:15:09Horatio Zanetti betrayed the nation.
00:15:11Your family is unforgivable.
00:15:13We, the Scott family, want absolutely nothing to do with the Zanettis.
00:15:16Lord Scott, you better remember what you've said today.
00:15:20We Zanettis have already written the letter of divorce.
00:15:22So, Miss Scott, where's your letter of renunciation?
00:15:25If you truly want to cut all ties with us once and for all, then write that renunciation letter.
00:15:30A letter of renunciation?
00:15:32What if the Zanettis survive after all?
00:15:34Well, what am I supposed to do then?
00:15:38Pa!
00:15:42If Miss Scott won't write it, does that mean you want to stay with us for life and death?
00:15:49Amelia, what are you hesitating for? Just write it!
00:15:52Pa, if I write the letter now, and the Zanettis make it through this, how could I return?
00:15:58Don't worry, I'm certain of it. The Zanettis won't be getting back up this time.
00:16:02Looks like Miss Scott has decided not to leave us. Come on, let's go home together.
00:16:07Fine. I'll write it right now.
00:16:10Please prepare the ink and paper.
00:16:12Okay.
00:16:32You really know how to make a decision. Just don't end up regretting it later.
00:16:46For sure. We will never regret it. Come on, Amelia.
00:16:50Imperial Decree!
00:16:52Imperial Decree!
00:16:57An Imperial Decree has arrived.
00:16:59By the Mandate of Heaven, His Majesty declares Horatio Zanetti's least treason hasn't been proven yet.
00:17:12Therefore, the entire Zanetti family shall be spared the death penalty.
00:17:16However, though death is pardoned, punishment is still due.
00:17:19All members of the Zanettis are to be confined within the General's Mansion awaiting further orders.
00:17:28Your Majesty, please take this decree.
00:17:34Weren't they supposed to be executed in three days? How did this happen?
00:17:40Lord Scott and Miss Scott, why are you still here? Do you need me to see you out?
00:17:50Pa, why did His Majesty suddenly pardon the Zanettis?
00:17:52I underestimated the Empress. She was able to change his mind.
00:17:56The Zanettis are safe now. What about me? I've already written that down. How could I get back on it?
00:18:01Who said they're safe?
00:18:04They're just dragging on for a few more days, with no chance of turning things around. Come on!
00:18:08Let's go!
00:18:25Her Majesty, the Empress has arrived!
00:18:27You're back, sister!
00:18:40Sister, did you come back to save us? Does this mean we won't die, right?
00:18:46Don't be scared. I'm here with you. No one's gonna die today.
00:18:55Ah, we're not gonna die. They're not gonna behead us.
00:19:00I, the sinner, Helena Yates, present my sons and daughters-in-law to humbly pay our respects to your Majesty.
00:19:06Uh-uh, no need. Ma, Sean, Lena, Liam, there's no outsider here. You don't need to bow like that.
00:19:14Nona, I thought I'd never see you again. Ma, don't be afraid. We're all gonna be fine.
00:19:26Auntie! Auntie! Help me!
00:19:29Joel, come back here!
00:19:32It's okay, Lena. There, there. No more tears, Joel. Prying makes you less cute.
00:19:36Daddy's mean. Grandma's mean, too. Second uncle's mean. And little uncle's mean, too.
00:19:42Oh, all mean? So this whole room is full of bad people, huh?
00:19:46They tried to send Ma away. Ma doesn't want to leave. They wouldn't listen. They insisted on driving her out.
00:19:52It's okay. Your Ma's not going anywhere. Now that Auntie's back, your Ma will never leave you again.
00:19:57Auntie's the best! I love Auntie.
00:20:01Uh, Winona, you said they no longer need to return home. Does that mean His Majesty-
00:20:08His Majesty has already spared us from execution.
00:20:11Nona, is that true?
00:20:20Winona's right.
00:20:28Winona's right.
00:20:29Your Majesty.
00:20:31Law of the Emperor!
00:20:34Your Majesty, why did you suddenly show up here?
00:20:37Your Grace. His Majesty was concerned for your well-being, so we came to check on you.
00:20:42Yorke!
00:20:46Oh, so this is the legendary Mr. Yorke.
00:20:49He really is handsome. No wonder the rumors say Noctus Fitzgerald fell hard for him.
00:20:55Winona Zanetti! What the hell are you thinking? What do you mean, I fell for Yorke?
00:21:02Your Majesty? If you feel that way about Her Grace, why try so hard to hide it?
00:21:10Not only is Mr. Yorke handsome, but his voice is absolutely dreamy too. No wonder Noctus Fitzgerald
00:21:16killed all the women in Zareem just to confess his love to Mr. Yorke, saving all his heart for him.
00:21:21Winona Zanetti!
00:21:23Uh!
00:21:24Spare me, Your Majesty!
00:21:26Please spare me!
00:21:29Calm down, Your Majesty. It's my fault for talking too much.
00:21:32Deal! Now!
00:21:36The Tyrant's rage is terrifying!
00:21:46Get up quick!
00:21:48Huh?
00:21:51Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:22:05Aww. So the Chronicles weren't lying. There really is something fishy between the Tyrant and Yorke.
00:22:12The moment Yorke got on his knees, are you okay?
00:22:15Oh, the Tyrant looks so worried. He even went over to help him up himself.
00:22:21Calm down, calm down. If this keeps up, the woman will find out I can hear her thoughts.
00:22:26All rise. Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:22:37Leave. Don't forget to rub on some medicated wine. How many times have I told you?
00:22:41Stop kneeling at the drop of a hat. If you're gonna kneel, at least take it slow. What if kneeling too
00:22:45hard worsens your old injuries?
00:22:47Understood.
00:22:48The Tyrant and Yorke made such a cute couple. I'm totally obsessed with them.
00:22:55The real Renona is really nothing to him. She knelt for so long, begging for mercy and the Tyrant didn't even blink.
00:23:01Yet Yorke knelt for only a few seconds and the Tyrant looked heartbroken.
00:23:04Why acting so weird, staring at me like that? Huh? Who gave you the nerve to stare at me like that?
00:23:15I admit my mistake, Your Majesty. Blame my parents for not giving birth to a son. Blame me for not being
00:23:21able to use that sweet and innocent look Yorke gives you. Just now when Yorke looked at you,
00:23:26you didn't scold him for being rude, did you? You even looked reluctant to see him leave. Total hypocrite.
00:23:31What double standard?
00:23:37Winona. You looked at me so strangely. Was it because you were confused by the way I treated Yorke?
00:23:48Back then, my brother framed me. I fell off a cliff. It was Yorke, who threw his life on the line
00:23:53and cushioned my fall with his body. That's the only reason I survived. But his legs.
00:23:58In this whole world, only Yorke has ever treated me like that. So, naturally, I treat him differently
00:24:07from everyone else. Understand?
00:24:11I do, I do. Now I finally get it why Noctus Fitzgerald fell in love with Yorke. I was willing
00:24:18to be gay for him. It's that kind of self-sacrificing love. If it were me, I'd fall for Yorke too.
00:24:27You said you understand, and I actually believed you. Turns out you understood nothing.
00:24:33Gay, huh? Let me show you today whether I'm really gay or...
00:24:38Everyone leave us.
00:24:42Mr. Majesty.
00:24:46Wait.
00:24:46You stay.
00:24:49Come here.
00:24:54What are you trying to do, Your Majesty?
00:24:56I said come here.
00:25:03Monona, it's getting quite late. Tonight I'll be staying over at the General Mansion.
00:25:08Naturally, you should stay by my side.
00:25:09Oh. Uh, what?
00:25:12Aren't you supposed to be gay? Oh, you're supposed to give all of yourself to Mr. Yorke.
00:25:18What's wrong? Aren't you thrilled about the news?
00:25:22Thrilled? Gosh, no.
00:25:23Let's go.
00:25:26Oh, I don't want to sleep with you.
00:25:29Your Majesty, staying at the General's Mansion is improper.
00:25:33You should return to the palace. I'll see you out.
00:25:36What? You don't want to sleep with me? Have you fallen for someone else?
00:25:48No way. I only fell for Your Majesty.
00:25:54Then why aren't you happy when I ask you to sleep with me?
00:25:58I... I'm not unhappy.
00:26:02I'm super happy.
00:26:05Really?
00:26:05That's good.
00:26:13Aren't you quite brave to say I'm gay? What happened to you? He's gay theory.
00:26:18Oh, he's gay theory? Oh, this is my first kiss!
00:26:30Well, no, no. What are you doing?
00:26:33Uh, Your Majesty, I'm not feeling well today. I'm afraid I can't attend to you.
00:26:38Getting anxious, aren't you? Feeling frustrated now? Let's see if you still dare to say I'm into men.
00:26:43Your Majesty, I have an urgent report.
00:26:54Your Majesty, as you predicted, Prince Julian has sneaked into the mansion.
00:26:59Does the Dowager Empress know?
00:27:01Relax. It's taken care of.
00:27:03One Honor, urgent matters have come up at the palace.
00:27:05I must go.
00:27:06Farewell, Your Majesty.
00:27:13Your Grace, Prince Julian has arrived at the mansion. He says he wants to see you.
00:27:20So he came after all.
00:27:33What are you dragging me here for?
00:27:35Don't tell me you still feel sorry for Horatio's Zanetti and his good-for-nothing family.
00:27:39Still too soft-hearted to punish them. Are you trying to spare the Zanettis?
00:27:44I will not allow you to spare anyone from the Zanetti clan.
00:27:47They carry the blood of the West Barbarians.
00:27:49They betrayed me and the late Emperor. All those years of trust shattered.
00:27:53They deserve nothing less than death.
00:27:55Mother, rest assured, I won't show mercy to the Zanettis.
00:27:58I brought you here today so you could see for yourself who else has allied with the Zanettis and
00:28:02chose up to save them. Then we can catch them all in one go.
00:28:04Oh? Is that so? Very well. I'm rather curious now. Just who has the guts to risk their life saving the Zanettis?
00:28:15Mother, see for yourself.
00:28:17Huh? Julian? Your own brother? There's no way he could be one of the Zanetti allies.
00:28:27Looks like you still don't know about Julian's plan to rebel.
00:28:30Your Majesty, I suggest you calm down and wait for more proof first.
00:28:37That's Prince Julian, Julian Fitzgerald. Looks like the Empress' taste is kind of basic.
00:28:41His look, his vibe, he's got nothing compared to Noctis Fitzgerald.
00:28:43If it was me, I'd totally pick Noctis.
00:28:45Well, at least she knows what's best. She's not like the previous one, completely blind.
00:28:51Sure, that Tyrant's character is trash, but damn he's got a pretty nice face. Especially that
00:28:55Skull, seriously top tier.
00:29:17Nona, don't be scared. I'm here with you.
00:29:20So there really is something between Julian and Winona?
00:29:25Winona must have seduced him. What a shameless woman.
00:29:31Nona.
00:29:32Your Highness, if you've got something to say, just say it, and leave once you're done.
00:29:37Right now, the general mansion's a mess. You shouldn't stay here.
00:29:41All right. Now I'll get straight to the point.
00:29:48I came here today to save some...
00:29:50Save someone? You're saying you can save my family?
00:29:53Sorry, Nona. I can't save your whole Zanetti family. But I can save your brother Charles.
00:29:59I'll help him escape the crisis safely. Give him the chance to restore your family's honor someday.
00:30:03Your Highness, there are 76 people here, and you're telling me only one can be saved?
00:30:09Still, better to save one than none. Prince Julian, how do you plan to save my brother?
00:30:14Nona. Here's my plan.
00:30:20Charles has to pretend to be our child. As long as he still is Zanetti, he won't make it out of this alive.
00:30:26But if he's our blood, then I can go plead with my mother and maybe get her to spare his life.
00:30:30Absolutely not. Charles is my brother. How could I let him pretend to be our child?
00:30:37That's just complete madness. No, not happening. Dammit, dammit, dammit. That Prince Julian is
00:30:42cold-blooded as hell. How can he come up with a plan this twisted? Now I finally get why the real
00:30:46one Nona ended up dying so horribly. Your Majesty!
00:30:56Nona, I know it's hard to accept and you're struggling with it. But if we want to save your
00:31:01brother, this is our only option. Do you really want to stand by and watch your brother die? Besides,
00:31:06this is just a temporary solution. In the future, I promise I'll find a way to restore his identity.
00:31:12Nona, to save your brother, to keep the Zanetti bloodline alive, I'm willing to risk being condemned
00:31:21by the whole world. If I'm not scared of pissing off my brother, the Emperor, then what are you so
00:31:25afraid of? The Emperor, he's the most powerful man in the world. How could he possibly tolerate his
00:31:31own wife betraying him? How could he ever spare the bastard born of his wife and another man? Even if
00:31:36the Eith Dowager Empress pleads for mercy, he still wouldn't let Charles off the hook. If he finds out,
00:31:42he's definitely gonna explode with rage. But my mother has a royal edict left by my father,
00:31:46the late Emperor. I'll go and ask her to bring it out. When he sees it, he won't dare to go against her.
00:31:52That's exactly how Prince Winona was tricked by Prince Julian back in the day.
00:31:57Nona, trust me. I'll take good care of Charles. Just let me do one last thing for you.
00:32:03You really know how to scheme. Are you trying to say that I'm acting strange today? You're willing
00:32:11to risk scandal and defy the Emperor just to save my brother? Then I have some good news for you too.
00:32:17How about that? His Majesty has already pardoned the Zanettis from our death sentence.
00:32:23No way. That's impossible. How could that be?
00:32:27Nona, why would you think so badly of me? Did someone plant that idea in your head?
00:32:33I don't need anyone to help me out. As long as I'm not a total idiot, I can figure it out. You came
00:32:38here today with nothing but bad intentions. You're doing all of this just so the Emperor will hate me,
00:32:44rip me to shreds, tear me apart limb by limb. An Emperor who could even butcher his own wife will be
00:32:51known far and wide as a vicious tyrant. And then you can waltz your way to the throne and no one will
00:32:57dare say you committed treason. Nona, you. Fine. You said I covet the throne. If I really wanted it,
00:33:08I would have kept pretending and playing nice. So my brother would completely let his guard down to me.
00:33:14Why would I risk everything to help you? Because I love you!
00:33:19Love me, please. You just want His Majesty to believe you're nothing more than some naive
00:33:25fool chasing romance, so he'll drop his guard around you. If the child you tried so hard to
00:33:29protect ends up being killed by His Majesty, the Dowager Empress will surely hold him responsible.
00:33:34Prince Julian, you truly are calculating, and deeply scheming. But such cunning and depth should
00:33:40never be used against me when known as Zanetti. We've given up everything for the Nevarians.
00:33:45We've won countless glorious victories. And you want to use the blood of my family to
00:33:49pave the way to the throne? Then you better be ready for the Zanettis to strike back!
00:33:55No.
00:34:08From this moment on, I, Winona Zanetti, cut all ties with you. We are done for good.
00:34:12From this day forward, whatever feelings you had are dead and gone. All that's left is blood
00:34:16vengeance. Next time I see you, I will take your life myself to honor the 40,000 soldiers at the border.
00:34:22Winona, if you believe what others say about me today and misunderstand me,
00:34:27you'll regret it! Sooner or later! Believe it or not, my feelings for you have never changed!
00:34:35Julian Fitzgerald!
00:34:46Go on. Tell me now, what do you truly feel about the Empress? From the beginning to the end,
00:34:54what's going on? Why is he here? Winona Zanetti, you and my brother plotted this against me!
00:35:00It's over, it's over. The tyrant's probably going to tear me from limb to limb in a fit of rage. What do I do
00:35:05now? Got it? Hasn't your majesty been dying to know just how loyal my family really is to you? I risked
00:35:13everything for you. Just so you could see how ambitious Prince Julian really is. He's trying
00:35:17to use the throne for power. I can testify!
00:35:21Brother, don't listen to what our Grace says. It's a one-sided slander. I've always
00:35:25helped my duty with integrity and never once disloyal in the slightest. I beg you, brother,
00:35:29judge this wisely. Mother. Julian.
00:35:33Your majesty, don't believe a single word that Winona Zanetti said. From what I see, this mess
00:35:44today was all started by this woman. She has no sense of decency. She must not want to be stripped
00:35:49of her title as Empress. So she used her beauty to seduce Julian and save herself and all the Zanettis.
00:35:57This dowager Empress is way too biased. Who cares about her youngest son? Accusing me,
00:36:01her daughter-in-law like that, how is that any good for her other son?
00:36:07Your majesty, please see this clearly after no such thing.
00:36:10How dare you? Winona Zanetti, who gave you the right to speak here?
00:36:14Your majesty, why don't you give the order to execute this vile woman on the spot?
00:36:18Want me dead, do you? Let's see if you really got the guts to let your precious little brother's name
00:36:23be dragged through the mud. Oh, your majesty. Maybe you really should listen to your mother,
00:36:30have me and Prince Julian arrested and paraded in the streets. Let every single citizen out there
00:36:35see it for themselves. Let them think I betrayed you and had an affair with Julian, this vile man.
00:36:40I failed as an Empress. Shut up, you wretch. Where did you get the nerve to slander Julian like that?
00:36:51If your majesty truly believes that I and Julian have disgraced the royal name,
00:36:55then why not strip us both of our royal titles and banish us to the southern frontier? Exile us to the south.
00:37:01Very well. Guards, tie up Prince Julian and the Empress. Bind them tightly. Parade them through
00:37:08the capital three times. Winona Zanetti, three days from now, you will be sliced to pieces.
00:37:14Prince Julian will be stripped of his royal status and exiled to the south. Until death,
00:37:18he shall never step foot in the capital again.
00:37:19Brother, no! Mother!
00:37:23Your majesty, what are you doing? Julian is your own brother and yet you're willing to cast your own
00:37:30brother out of the royal family based on this wretched woman's nonsense and banish him to the south?
00:37:37Dowager Empress, you've always called me a wretched woman. Then what about Prince Julian? In your eyes,
00:37:42doesn't that make him a wretched man too? Shut your mouth! Your majesty, are you going to let this
00:37:46shameless woman drag your brother into this mess? Listen carefully. I absolutely forbid you to
00:37:53believe a single word of this wench's nonsense. Prince Julian mustn't be punished because of her.
00:37:59Julian is innocent. Mother, if you say Prince Julian is innocent,
00:38:03then name someone who did something suspicious with Winona. If there isn't anyone, then the Empress
00:38:10shouldn't be punished either. Noctis, you're actually turning against your
00:38:14mother for the sake of this vile woman. Have you stopped caring about me?
00:38:17You're saying I've turned against you? You're protecting Prince Julian by pushing all the blame
00:38:24onto Winona. But she's my wife, my partner. If you drag her through the mud, you might as well be
00:38:30killing me. And as for you saying that I've turned my back on you, if you can so easily cast aside a
00:38:40bond as mother and son, then why should I insist on keeping it? You… what did you just say?
00:38:49I said… I truly value the bond between us. And I hope you'll cherish it too.
00:38:58So? Are you still insisting on punishment? If you are, I'll have Yvonne James act immediately.
00:39:06But if you're not, then let's move on to the next issue.
00:39:19Mother…
00:39:24I…
00:39:28won't pursue this any further.
00:39:30Good. If that's the case, then Mother, let me just clarify. It's not a matter of dropping the
00:39:38issue. It's that Winona and Julian have always been completely innocent. They haven't crossed any
00:39:43lines.
00:39:45You…
00:39:48Mother! Mother!
00:39:50Mother! Quick! Let's throw a doctor!
00:39:52Wait! Take Prince Julian over there. Once the Dowager Empress recovers,
00:39:56His Majesty will interrogate him.
00:39:57As your command, Your Grace.
00:40:03Your Majesty, the Dowager Empress was overcome with fury, caused her to faint. It's nothing serious.
00:40:08She needs some rest. I'll prescribe some remedies. She'll be fine. After taking medicine…
00:40:12Get it ready.
00:40:14Yes, Your Majesty.
00:40:24Take good care of her.
00:40:25I…
00:40:37Bring in the Chancellors along with the Ministers of the Six Departments.
00:40:40Accept the Minister of War.
00:40:41Understood.
00:40:42Isn't the Minister of War Emilia Scott's father?
00:40:45Did the tyrant realize he's not the decent man he pretends to be?
00:40:48I've decided to use my mother's coma as an opportunity to arrest Prince Julian.
00:40:55A wise move, Your Majesty.
00:40:58Winona, I can't just throw Julian in prison without reason. So, once the Ministers arrive,
00:41:03I'll reveal everything that happened today. The truth.
00:41:05Is this really the tyrant I used to know? Your Majesty needn't worry about me. As long as I can
00:41:19ease your troubles, my reputation means nothing at all. However, if word gets out about this,
00:41:24it might damage your good name. How about you depose me from my title and send me off to the South
00:41:31instead?
00:41:31She's actually asking to be dethroned. For my sake. This is exactly the kind of selfless woman
00:41:37that I've wanted all my life. Once I'm sent to the South, I'll finally be free from the palace and
00:41:41live the free life I dreamed of. I should have never expected anything from a heartless girl like
00:41:45her. So you're putting on an act? Then allow me to play along.
00:41:51What crime has the Empress committed? She clearly met with Prince Julian, under my orders,
00:41:56to test the waters and expose his ambition. Now, for my sake, she's even willing to sacrifice
00:42:00her good name just to put Prince Julian under arrest. Winona, for what you've done,
00:42:05I ought to reward you handsomely. What would you like? Gold, silver jade?
00:42:12Silk, fine clothing? Or would you rather I spend the night with you tomorrow?
00:42:18Your freaking tyrant, is that a reward or a punishment? Who the hell wants your favor?
00:42:22Your Majesty, before I entered the palace, I had history with Prince Julian. Even if Your Majesty
00:42:27doesn't care, I truly feel ashamed to stay by your side. It would be better if Your Majesty just opposed me.
00:42:33There's no need to bring up the past, Empress. Based on everything you've done for me today,
00:42:38I can tell. There's no love between you and Prince Julian. But, if you bring it up,
00:42:44deposing yourself again, I really will start thinking. You're still hopelessly in love with him,
00:42:50and itching to suffer along with him. Damn it, damn it, that was the perfect escape
00:42:54planet. He went and shut the door in there. Wait, I've got to find a way to get out of this palace,
00:42:58ASAP.
00:42:59All rise. Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:43:17Brief everyone on what happened today. Yes, Your Majesty. We discovered that the late Emperor left
00:43:24behind a decree that forces His Majesty to always be subject to the Dowager Empress. Her Majesty the
00:43:30Empress was deeply distressed for His Majesty. She couldn't keep faking it. With Prince Julian
00:43:35anymore. So, Her Majesty let it out and had a big argument. With Prince Julian, Her Majesty was
00:43:41something. Well, that's what happened. Who was feeling bad for that damn tyrant?
00:43:45I only blew up with Prince Julian because I found out the real reason Empress Zanetti got played,
00:43:50and figured there was no point in playing along anymore. I only stopped because I figured out the
00:43:58real reason why Her Majesty was tricked. Felt like there was no point in playing along anymore.
00:44:02Her Majesty the Queen truly loves His Majesty.
00:44:07I love tyrants? I honestly have no interest in the dead body whose skull I examined, not even the slightest.
00:44:14Winona, now you know how it feels to be wronged without a chance to defend yourself.
00:44:18Look. He ever heard that the Queen cares about him so much, he couldn't even hide his smile.
00:44:23Did you see that? Their love is truly something special. But Prince Julian is so freaking ambitious,
00:44:30he almost destroyed the spell-abiding love story between His Majesty and the Queen.
00:44:34Oh, exactly. It's true. Makes sense. Makes sense.
00:44:37Winona, what Yvonne James said is absolutely true.
00:44:44Your Majesty, it's the truth.
00:44:49Prince Julian, is there any part of Yvonne James' story that is not true?
00:44:54Brother, if you want to kill me, just do it. Why bother having Yvonne James make up such nonsense?
00:45:03So what you're saying is, just now, you refused to admit everything that was said,
00:45:08and everything you've done?
00:45:10Brother, I'm truly being framed.
00:45:13You think that just because you're denying it, I can't do anything to you?
00:45:17Prince Julian, not only did the Queen figure out your plan to rebel, but she also deduced that General Zanetti
00:45:25betrayed the border army and turned against the country. The massacre of 40,000 soldiers was your
00:45:29doing too. If you seriously orchestrated all this, did you really think I wouldn't uncover every single thread?
00:45:38Your Majesty, I'll stake my life to accuse Prince Julian. I ask your Majesty to put Prince
00:45:43Julian under house arrest for now. If the border incident was truly masterminded by him,
00:45:47then I beseech your Majesty to sentence him to death, and give peace to the souls of the 40,000
00:45:51soldiers, and to appease the rage of the Zanetti family who nearly faced extinction because of him,
00:45:55our fury burns strong.
00:45:58We beg your Majesty to place Prince Julian in confinement for now.
00:46:01We all ask your Majesty to imprison Prince Julian!
00:46:05Guards, confine Prince Julian in the Sky Dungeon. No one may visit without my permission.
00:46:18Yes, your Majesty.
00:46:20Everyone rise.
00:46:21Thank you, your Majesty.
00:46:23Would no one attract to kill me?
00:46:24You won't get away with it either!
00:46:26Nona?
00:46:27Is it true that whoever gets your body, gets your loyalty too?
00:46:31Once upon a time, I had your body too.
00:46:37And you helped me with it so much.
00:46:41Now you're even helping my royal brother, huh?
00:46:46So is that your way of dragging me down with you?
00:46:53Prince Julian, so he wants me to take the fall for him?
00:46:57Winona, come here.
00:46:59What's this tyrant about to do now?
00:47:01No way. If I go over there, he's probably just gonna snap my neck.
00:47:06Where's the chastity mark?
00:47:08Wait, that thing actually exists in ancient times?
00:47:10Hold on, Queen Zanetti's been married to the Emperor for five years,
00:47:13but the mark is still there?
00:47:14Oh, right. He's into men after all.
00:47:20Raise your heads to me.
00:47:23Take a good look at the Queen's arm.
00:47:25Tell me, what do you all see?
00:47:27Oh my god! Imagine the purity!
00:47:30Even though the Queen and the Emperor have been married for five years, she's still a virgin.
00:47:34Could it be performance issues?
00:47:37Then what Prince Julian said earlier about the Queen...
00:47:39It was all just nonsense he made up.
00:47:42Brother, even though there's nothing improper between me and the Queen...
00:47:47So what?
00:47:50The fact that she still has feelings for me is still true.
00:47:54My dearest brother, you of all people holding the title of noble Emperor, yet you're Queen.
00:48:00Her heart isn't with you. The one she loves is me!
00:48:04How dare you!
00:48:11You're trying to anger me with nonsense to drive a wedge between me and the Queen, hoping I'll cast her aside.
00:48:18Too bad. I'm not falling for it.
00:48:20You say she loves you.
00:48:24Then why would she stake her own life as a guarantee just to keep you locked away, huh?
00:48:30Damn, the Tyrant's comeback's a fire. It's so hot when he's roasting people.
00:48:37The Tyrant's going off on something like that was kinda hot.
00:48:40As for what you said earlier about having history with the Empress, I couldn't care less.
00:48:45As husbands, we can expect our wives to stay loyal after marrying us.
00:48:50But we can't expect them to never have liked anyone before having met us.
00:48:55As long as she never crossed any lines, then she's still pure and untainted.
00:49:02Damn, the Tyrant's actually pretty open-minded. Even in the 21st century, some guys can't be that chill about it.
00:49:07Hmph. You fool.
00:49:10The only reason why I'm not bothered about you having feelings with someone else is because I don't give a damn about you at all.
00:49:16But if I did fall for you, and you did like someone else, I dare you to try. See if I don't make your life hell.
00:49:23The Empress has never done anything to betray me. I won't allow anyone to slander her.
00:49:28Let this decree be remembered.
00:49:30Of course! We shall remember!
00:49:33If in the future, you ever hear any slander against Her Majesty the Empress, you know what must be done?
00:49:38We should do everything we can to defend Her Majesty's honor.
00:49:44Hmph. You're all very dear to me.
00:49:47Oh, turn such words from Your Majesty!
00:49:49We would gladly take down our lives to repay you!
00:49:51Hmph. Looks like this Tyrant might actually have husband material in him.
00:49:57Too bad he swings the other way.
00:49:59I... you...
00:50:04Take Prince Julian away.
00:50:08I'm innocent!
00:50:10Brother!
00:50:10You don't believe me?
00:50:12Mother will!
00:50:13I've done nothing wrong!
00:50:14Everyone, you've all worked hard today.
00:50:16You may all step down.
00:50:17Yes, Your Majesty!
00:50:22I've placed Prince Julian under house arrest.
00:50:24Mother will be no doubt furious.
00:50:26What if one day, Prince Julian tried to hurt me?
00:50:28Would Mother...
00:50:29Make a scene for me?
00:50:31Like she did for him?
00:50:33Yeah, probably not.
00:50:35Back in the records, she didn't even show up to his funeral.
00:50:38But just seven days later at Julian's coronation ceremony,
00:50:41she showed up all dressed to the nines.
00:50:45I can't believe...
00:50:47Martha would actually play favorites that hard.
00:50:52Your Majesty, are you all right?
00:50:57Huh.
00:50:59I'm fine.
00:51:00My Queen.
00:51:01When I arrived, I saw Letty Zanetti being taken away by Minister Scott.
00:51:05What's going on?
00:51:05Miss Scott probably feared getting dragged down with the Zanetti,
00:51:08so she accepted my second brother's divorce letter and left the Zanetti family.
00:51:12If she can't stick around in tough times even though she can enjoy the good,
00:51:14then she absolutely doesn't deserve to be a daughter-in-law of the Zanettis.
00:51:17Good riddance.
00:51:19But she has a child with my second brother.
00:51:21One day, if she comes back crying, begging his forgiveness, he'll definitely cave.
00:51:25My Queen, how about this?
00:51:27Tomorrow, I'll send Liam Zanetti to deal with the bandits.
00:51:29The mission should take about a month.
00:51:32By the time he's back, I believe,
00:51:34you and Madame Zanetti will have already taken care of Amelia Scott.
00:51:38On behalf of my second brother, I thank your Majesty for great mercy.
00:51:45Why would His Majesty out of nowhere send you to clear out bandits?
00:51:49Mom, His Majesty is clearly trying to send my brother away on purpose.
00:51:52He saw Amelia Scott leaving the Zanetti house first-hand.
00:51:55And he said,
00:51:56A woman like Amelia Scott isn't worthy of my second brother,
00:51:59so that's why he's moving my brother.
00:52:01So you and Mom can take care of Amelia properly.
00:52:03How did this happen?
00:52:05It was our Zanetti family who gave Amelia the divorce letter,
00:52:08and sent her back to her family to stay safe.
00:52:10How could we blame her for that?
00:52:12Second brother and his wife have always been close.
00:52:15And they have a child too.
00:52:17There's no way he'd agree to divorce her.
00:52:18The Zanettis don't want to lose their daughter-in-law.
00:52:21If I and outsiders sell her out on my own just to help them, wouldn't that be meddling too much?
00:52:26Maybe we should just let them choose for themselves.
00:52:30Mom, I had a dream last night.
00:52:33In the dream, Amelia faked a pregnancy and left the Zanettis.
00:52:37Then, after the whole family was executed, Dad returned in victory, but died from the rage and heartbreak.
00:52:43But the good thing was, because of that, the Emperor pardoned the Zanetti family.
00:52:47Still, who'd have thought that Amelia Scott would bring back a bastard child claiming it was my brothers,
00:52:51trying to reap the benefits in our name?
00:52:52That dream? It has to be false!
00:52:56Your father, he would never betray the country and collude with enemies.
00:53:00He'll return victorious! I know it!
00:53:02Besides, when Amelia said she was pregnant, she only told a few of us in the main hall that she was pregnant.
00:53:07Known as in the palace, how could she possibly know about that?
00:53:12Mom, brother, sister-in-law, no matter what you say after this dream,
00:53:17there's no way I can keep seeing Amelia as my sister-in-law.
00:53:20Of course, I won't interfere with your decision.
00:53:22That's why I told you what I dreamt about.
00:53:24What choice you make next?
00:53:27That's up to you.
00:53:27You should head back first.
00:53:38Mr. Scott is in cahoots with Prince Julian.
00:53:41Now that something's happened between them, she must have picked up on it.
00:53:43Mr. Scott, with Prince Julian gone, Amelia Scott will most likely come crawling back any day now.
00:53:57Your Grace, Amelia Scott, Miss Scott has arrived.
00:54:02Didn't expect that. She actually came this fast. Come on, let's go meet her.
00:54:06Nona, your brother and I, along with his wife, have talked it through and decided to give Amelia another chance.
00:54:32No matter what, she's already a daughter-in-law of the Zanetti family.
00:54:37She even gave birth to a child for the Zanettis. We can't deny her a chance to make it right,
00:54:42just because of things that haven't happened yet.
00:54:44Mother, even if you have all accepted her, I still have to expose her fake pregnancy.
00:54:50Wasn't she the one who left the Zanettis right after they fell from Grace?
00:54:56Abandoned her husband and left behind a child, barely weaned?
00:54:58She ran back to the Scots overnight. That's Miss Scott, isn't it?
00:55:01What? Now that the Zanettis are safe and sound, you came crawling back?
00:55:07Your Grace, I, your subject and wife.
00:55:10You already divorced Liam Zanetti, and you still call yourself his wife?
00:55:13So this is how Lord Scott's daughter behaves. Charming upbringing.
00:55:15Your subject and wife, your majesty.
00:55:20You may rise.
00:55:24Yes, your majesty.
00:55:31Mother.
00:55:39Your majesty, it was Liam and I who decided to send Amelia back to her family.
00:55:45She didn't abandon her husband or child. Now thanks to your majesty's grace,
00:55:49the Zanetti family was spared from disaster, so I had her brought back home.
00:55:52Please show her mercy, your majesty.
00:55:56Lady Zanetti, you really are remarkably generous, but Liam is a fine young man,
00:56:00handsome and accomplished. Why force him to spend his life with Amelia Scott?
00:56:05While all royal princesses are already married, there are still some noble ladies single.
00:56:09Lady Zanetti, why don't I personally match Liam Zanetti with one of our noble ladies,
00:56:14and make her his official wife?
00:56:15Lady Zanetti, your majesty.
00:56:19I know I was wrong. Please have mercy on me. Don't tear me and my husband apart. Please have mercy.
00:56:28Mother. Brother. Sister-in-law. I'm begging you all. Please plead for me. I'm begging you, please.
00:56:37Your majesty, on behalf of my son Liam, I thank your majesty for your grace. It's just that Amelia and
00:56:43Liam already have a six-month-old child. If they truly divorce, how pitiful would that child be?
00:56:48Besides, asking her ladyship to become Liam's second wife, wouldn't that be a disgrace to her?
00:56:57Your majesty, please, you mustn't separate her from my second brother. After all,
00:57:02when Lady Scott left the Zanetti family, she was with child. If you separate her
00:57:07from my second brother, what will happen to the child in her belly?
00:57:12Dr. Zoe?
00:57:15Yes, your majesty.
00:57:18Go, and examine Lady Scott thoroughly. Let's see how far along she is.
00:57:24Please, your grace, have mercy. I only thought I was pregnant,
00:57:28because my cycle was delayed by five or six days when I left the Zanetti household.
00:57:32But when I returned to the Scott family, I saw a physician who said it was just a physical condition
00:57:36that caused a delay. So I wasn't actually pregnant. There's no need for your grace to
00:57:42trouble the royal physician. Oh? Is that so? The Zanetti family just had a crisis and just happened to
00:57:49be pregnant. Now that they're safe and sound, your pregnancy conveniently vanished? Amelia Scott,
00:57:55do you really think everyone here is a fool? Hmm?
00:58:03Your majesty, please send someone to investigate the Scott family. See whether Amelia Scott did in
00:58:08fact call for a physician these last few days. Also, gather the maids from the Zanetti household
00:58:13who attended Amelia Scott and ask them whether her cycle was really delayed several days as she claims.
00:58:21Go. Do as the emperor says. I want a thorough investigation. Yes.
00:58:27Let's speak the truth now. If you keep lying, then you're basically deceiving his majesty to his face.
00:58:35If the truth comes out, things will get really ugly. Your majesty. Your majesty, the queen. The
00:58:42pregnancy. I did lie about that. But I swear I've never done anything cruel or unforgivable. I just
00:58:48wanted to survive. Please, your majesty, have mercy on me.
00:58:50Wanting to live isn't a crime. But pretending to be pregnant and lying to the Zanetti family,
00:58:56that's what's truly hateful. Even worse, you've shown not an ounce of remorse from beginning to
00:59:00end. Tell me this. Why didn't you come clean about your fake pregnancy the moment you returned
00:59:04to the Zanetti family? Were you planning to hold onto his life forever? I... I was going to confess
00:59:11the truth today. Sounds to me like you a real plan was to have a miscarriage in a few days by accident.
00:59:18So you could bury the whole thing? If you'd miscarried while in the Zanetti home,
00:59:24would your hot-tempered parents have spared my mother or brother? Your highness, you're mistaken. I
00:59:29would never... Someone like you who lies with every breath and never shows a shred of guilt,
00:59:34tell me, why would I want a sister-in-law like that? If it weren't for my mother and my brother's
00:59:38kindness, they'd still want to keep you. Otherwise, I'd have already stripped you of your title as the
00:59:44queen. Now go.
00:59:53Go. Cripple her hand for me. Yes, your majesty.
01:00:04Do you resent your majesty that much? How dare you? You deserve to die.
01:00:18How dare you show such disrespect? How dare you?
01:00:30Is he defending me?
01:00:34Haven't I defended you enough?
01:00:39Ladies and Eddie, you were right before. If I must force Liam Zanetti to part ways with Amelia Scott,
01:00:44then yes, the child would suffer. But with Amelia Scott's lack of virtue,
01:00:49she's simply unworthy to become Liam Zanetti's legal wife. Since Miss Scott already accepted
01:00:53the divorce letter, she still wants to return to the Zanetti household? Fine. Then Liam Zanetti
01:00:57can take her in as a favorite concubine. As for the child, let him be registered under the name of
01:01:01the new wife. His status as heir remains unchanged. No! I won't be a concubine!
01:01:07Your majesty, I'm a daughter of the minister. How could I step so low?
01:01:17So a minister's daughter cannot be a concubine? Are you saying your father's power went to his head,
01:01:22trying to drag him down, is that it? Very well. Then perhaps I should consider stripping him of his
01:01:28post. A man who raised his daughter to act like this? Can he really run the ministry of war properly?
01:01:36If he'd cut ties with a family member like this, then who's to say he wouldn't be the first to betray
01:01:42his country? This Minister Scott, he really is a weathervane. The tyrant died three years later,
01:01:48Prince Julian took the throne, and that same Minister Scott suddenly became a favorite of
01:01:52the new ruler. He even gave his youngest daughter to him as a consul.
01:01:57Your majesty, don't you think Minister Scott is unworthy of his title?
01:02:05Your majesty, the harem shouldn't meddle in politics, but if your majesty insist I speak my mind,
01:02:10then I must say you're absolutely right. Minister Scott truly doesn't deserve his post.
01:02:28This concert greets your majesty and her majesty the queen.
01:02:31Your majesty, what happened to the dowager empress?
01:02:42Oh, that's nothing serious. She just felt unwell and fainted. She'll be fine soon. Let's go.
01:02:50Dowager empress! Dowager empress! Are you all right, dowager empress?
01:03:02Your majesty, why didn't you come check on her? It's the dowager empress. She passed out.
01:03:07How could you not care about her at all?
01:03:14Who is she?
01:03:15Your majesty, this is Lady Scott. She's Amelia Scott's cousin.
01:03:22Your majesty, look at this. Lady Scott, she's basically throwing shade at both of us.
01:03:25We're properly married, but somehow she just a concubine shows more concern for the dowager empress.
01:03:30Aren't we just disappointments as children?
01:03:33Your majesty, I've been wronged. The empress twisted my words. I never meant to criticize you. Your majesty, I'd never dare.
01:03:39Your majesty, look closely. It's not that she's unwilling to criticize. She just doesn't care.
01:03:44If you weren't the emperor, she'd already be shouting at you.
01:03:47Such insolence. You say you don't dare criticize me? Then who gave you the guts to go after the empress of the nation?
01:03:52Please forgive me, your majesty. I wouldn't dare again.
01:03:55So you think your rank as a concubine is too high? So high that you dare question the empress?
01:04:00Fine. In that case, I demote you to the rank of attendant. From now on,
01:04:04you'll move to Longevity Palace and attend to the dowager empress. No need to serve me or the empress.
01:04:09Your majesty! Your majesty! Your majesty!
01:04:15That tyrant disciplining a concubine. Damn, that was hot.
01:04:19Too bad he's into guys.
01:04:22If she hadn't thought I swung that way, she probably would have fallen with me ages ago.
01:04:27Once she finds out I'm not into men, then she'll throw herself at me.
01:04:32But now she's back at the joyous palace, doesn't that mean I won't be able to hear her inner thoughts?
01:04:40Empress, starting from today, you'll move into the back chambers of my balance hall.
01:04:44Oh, here we go again.
01:04:47Your majesty, this… this might not be such a good idea.
01:04:53It would not be good. Weren't you the one who wanted to play the loving couple with me?
01:04:57Now that I've pardoned your entire family, I still have to give the court ministers a
01:05:01reasonable explanation. But I think…
01:05:04Us suddenly falling for each other works just fine.
01:05:06Oh, but your majesty, didn't you place Prince Julian under house arrest? Why not just tell the
01:05:12court what really happened?
01:05:13No. That would alert the enemy. I've decided to keep Julian's confinement under wraps for now.
01:05:20I'll have someone go to the border and see if Julian really caused the death of frontline soldiers.
01:05:24Once the truth comes out, I'll inform the court.
01:05:30Empress, I've already changed my decree just for you. Can't you at least just play the part of a
01:05:36loving wife with me? Or are you still thinking about your dear Prince Julian?
01:05:42I'll follow your majesty's orders.
01:05:44Let me warn you. You're now my Empress. Stop thinking about your past with Julian.
01:05:51I gave you five years. If you still can't cut ties with your old flame. Just know my patience has limits.
01:06:03The host is moving in with him. What's so bad about that? He's into guys.
01:06:06You worry he's going to sleep with you or something? He must have just been messing with you last time.
01:06:10Didn't you hear? He stayed away from her majesty for five years because he knew she had a thing for
01:06:15Prince Julian. But what if now, for the sake of giving Nevarian an heir, he decides to ignore his
01:06:19preferences and sleep with me. You were just praising how hot he is. How powerful he looks.
01:06:24Sleeping with him isn't exactly a loss. If you're worried, the tyrant won't get you pregnant.
01:06:28Then you've got nothing to stress about. The system's got some fertility elixir right here,
01:06:32capable of extracting the best egg and sperm from both you and the tyrant. You combine them and the
01:06:36baby you get will be like a tiny celestial being cute as a button. Who needs that dumb pill? It's not
01:06:41like I can't get pregnant myself. But if I had that fertility elixir, the baby I'd have would be strong and
01:06:47healthy, smart as a whip, and absolutely adorable. That's literally my dream of the perfect little
01:06:52prince. I've got to trick that woman in to give me a fertility elixir.
01:07:04If only I were living in modern times with computers and phones. I could do whatever I want.
01:07:09Life in ancient times is so boring and dull.
01:07:11Feeling bored, host? Why not take on a mission then? Ding! Eliminate the tyrant,
01:07:16side mission two. Stars among us. Host, within one month, recruit two historical figures of great
01:07:22renown. Complete the task and you'll earn 40 points. Fail the task and 40 points will be deducted.
01:07:28Once the Empress recruits her talents, I'll just snatch them away from her. Let's see whether they
01:07:34choose to serve her or serve me. Poor woman. She's just wasting her time for nothing, just to bring
01:07:41talents right into my hands. Host, have you decided which two legendary figures you'll recruit?
01:07:46Who do you want to recruit first? Of course. It's my dream guy, Yuki Cox. He's like jade among the
01:07:53blossoms, a true one-in-a-million gentleman. Oh, I can't take it, I can't take it. Sister, I'm scared.
01:07:59What if I have a sexy dream and star making weird noises? What if the tyrant hears me?
01:08:03Your majesty? It's nothing. It just occurred to me. Some two-faced traitor who eats my food,
01:08:17takes my pay, yet dreams of serving another master. Frankly, she deserves to be writ to shreds.
01:08:27It's getting late. Empress, go and take a bath and get some rest.
01:08:30Wait, who was that tyrant insulting? Hm, no clue. But definitely not me. Hmph.
01:08:55Your majesty? What are you doing here? Shouldn't he be resting in the main hall?
01:09:00Wait, don't tell me he's planning to sleep here tonight. You don't want to attend to me,
01:09:04but in your dreams, you're serving that wild man of yours. And having a pretty good time, too.
01:09:09Even making little moaning noises. I'll stay here tonight.
01:09:16I'll spend the night here. Just as I thought. He's really gonna go that far to get an heir and force
01:09:21himself to sleep with me, even if it disgusts me. What now? Don't tell me. You're still thinking of
01:09:29staying pure for Prince Julian? Of course not, your majesty. I've long lost interest in Prince
01:09:35Julian. Why would I still say faithful to him? He means nothing to me now. One Prince Julian walks out,
01:09:42and here comes another one. Yuki Cox.
01:09:45Better get ready. I'll be back in a moment.
01:09:59My lady, do you really not want this?
01:10:10If you don't want it to happen, I can slit my wrist and spill some blood,
01:10:13then place the bloodied cloth beneath you, then just tell his majesty you've got your period.
01:10:17Silly girl. How could you even think of hurting yourself like that? Leave me.
01:10:21I'll handle this myself. We'll find another way.
01:10:29Susan did give me an idea, though. When a man and a woman sleep together,
01:10:33but nothing really happens, only two possibilities. Either I'm not up for it, or he isn't.
01:10:37System, do you have anything in the shop that can take out a man in one second?
01:10:41Like make him lose all his cravings for at least half a year?
01:10:44Yes, definitely. Abstinence pill. Though the effect's a little intense. Once taken,
01:10:48he won't be a real man ever again. Only costs five points for one pill.
01:10:52Alright. I'll buy it.
01:10:54That vile woman. She actually wants to use that drug on me.
01:10:59She's throwing away the dignity of a damn emperor like it's nothing.
01:11:03Post has purchased one abstinence pill. Post has five points left.
01:11:07So this is the abstinence pill. Now, do I need to feed it to him, or can I apply externally too?
01:11:15Both ways work. It kicks in instantly.
01:11:18Hmm. Then keep it with you for now. When he tries anything on me, I'll pull it out then.
01:11:23No one will even notice if I smack it right onto him, freaking tyrant. Lay a finger on me,
01:11:27and I'll make sure you end up a eunuch forever.
