00:00:13Good afternoon, Evelyn.
00:00:25I made some afternoon tea for you and Lucien.
00:00:28I even helped too, honey.
00:00:41To Evelyn.
00:00:50You know, Evelyn, I've been thinking about starting a charity project.
00:00:54There are so many people living on the streets these days.
00:00:58I'd love to help them the way you once helped us, but building shelters would cost a fortune, far more
00:01:03than I could ever afford.
00:01:07Everyone knows how generous you are.
00:01:10I was hoping, maybe, you might help fund it.
00:01:15Of course.
00:01:17You'll get whatever funding you need.
00:01:21Wonderful.
00:01:22Then it's settled.
00:01:23All right, now let's enjoy the food.
00:01:35Your majesty, you haven't slept in ten days.
00:01:37If you keep pushing yourself like this, you won't make it.
00:01:39Please, you have to save my baby.
00:01:44He's the future of the Empire.
00:01:46I've given everything for him.
00:02:00Today, our beloved queen and my beloved wife has given the Empire its future king.
00:02:07Today, the new age begins.
00:02:18There you are, my dear.
00:02:20Come on.
00:02:21Let's go see your father.
00:02:25That fool of a woman didn't realize we switched the babies, did she?
00:02:33Relax.
00:02:35She didn't see a thing.
00:02:53That snooty little bitch.
00:02:55She has no idea the dragon baby she nearly died giving birth to is lying on a cliffside
00:02:59waiting to die.
00:03:02Who would have thought?
00:03:04The two pathetic snakes she rescued all those years ago now are sleeping together in her bed.
00:03:10All while she raises our child like a blind moron.
00:03:24I bet she's catering our baby and singing him to sleep as we speak.
00:03:30Meanwhile, her precious little dragon's probably being torn to shreds by some starving beast.
00:03:38How much longer do we have to keep pretending with that brainless bitch?
00:03:42She orders me around like a servant while I watch you play the devoted husband.
00:03:46And my own son's gonna have to call her mother.
00:03:49It makes me sick just thinking about it.
00:03:51Be patient, darling.
00:03:52The Eastern Empire won't belong to her forever.
00:03:55Once our son inherits the throne, every last piece of it will be ours.
00:04:00And then we'll drag Evelyn out of this palace and leave her corpse to rot in the mud.
00:04:11No, I won't let them get away with this.
00:04:17My baby!
00:04:19My baby, where are you?
00:04:24That's my baby's scent.
00:04:45My baby, it's okay.
00:04:47Mommy's here now.
00:04:48Mommy's here now.
00:04:50This forest.
00:04:53This is where I saved Cyril and Cecilia's lives.
00:05:17I brought them back to the Dragon Palace.
00:05:19Made them my personal attendants.
00:05:22I treated them like family.
00:05:35First you sleep together behind my back, then you switch our children?
00:05:39And now you're planning to bleed me dry.
00:05:42You want me to raise your child?
00:05:43Fine.
00:05:44I'll give you exactly what you want.
00:05:46Just don't blame me when karma comes back to bite you.
00:06:00Evelyn, what are you doing here?
00:06:01What?
00:06:02Am I not allowed in my own bedroom?
00:06:04Of course you are.
00:06:05I thought you'd still be resting.
00:06:07Cyril and I were just busy making a bed for you and the young prince.
00:06:14Oh my god.
00:06:15There he is.
00:06:16Let me see him.
00:06:22He's adorable, isn't he?
00:06:31Congratulations, Evelyn.
00:06:33You've given the Empire its heir.
00:06:35I'm sure he'll grow up to be a strong man who fills you with pride.
00:06:38I'm sure he will too.
00:06:39And when my son becomes king, I'll give him the gift he'll remember for the rest of his life.
00:06:56Evelyn!
00:06:59What are you doing here?
00:07:02Honey, I thought you had a cabinet meeting today.
00:07:06I did, but I also wanted to celebrate my son's birthday.
00:07:09Is that a problem?
00:07:12Yes, it is.
00:07:15I don't want you here.
00:07:17Daddy and Auntie Cecilia are all I need.
00:07:19All I need from you is a trip to Royal Dragon Isle for the three of us.
00:07:22But you can't even give me that simple birthday gift.
00:07:25You're the worst mommy ever!
00:07:31Lucian, is that any way to speak to your mother?
00:07:34Don't be so hard on him, Cyril.
00:07:39Lucian, your mother works day and night to build a powerful empire for you and the people.
00:07:44You can't speak to her like that, okay?
00:07:49Kids, right?
00:07:50Always speaking first and thinking later.
00:07:54You'll forgive him, won't you?
00:07:58Of course I'll forgive my own son, but...
00:08:02Cecilia, shouldn't you be at this afternoon's cabinet meeting?
00:08:06Cecilia just stopped by to deliver the cake.
00:08:09Then Lucian begged her to stay and sing happy birthday.
00:08:11So I told her she could stay for a bit.
00:08:14You too.
00:08:22Thank you for keeping my son company on his birthday.
00:08:25It's the least I can do for the person who saved my life as a child.
00:08:29I'm just grateful your son's so fond of me.
00:08:32Lucian is such a wonderful boy.
00:08:35Sometimes I feel like we share a kind of inexplicable bond.
00:08:41I'd really love to spend more time with him.
00:08:46That wouldn't bother you, would it, Evelyn?
00:08:51Why would it?
00:08:52I'm grateful someone can be here for him when I'm preoccupied.
00:08:56There's no need to thank me.
00:08:58I'm just doing my duty as a loyal subject.
00:09:01Lucian, come on.
00:09:03Let's cut your cake.
00:09:04Aren't you supposed to be busy?
00:09:05Go back to your meeting!
00:09:09And don't forget,
00:09:10you promised to send us on a trip to Royal Dragon Island.
00:09:20Honey, don't take it to heart.
00:09:22He's just worried we'll distract you from your work.
00:09:25Just last week,
00:09:26he stopped me from calling you
00:09:27because he wanted you rested for your meeting.
00:09:30He really is the most thoughtful boy.
00:09:33You must be proud to have raised such a remarkable young prince.
00:09:37Very well.
00:09:38If it's what Lucian wants,
00:09:40I'll return to my meeting.
00:09:41And I'll have the staff arrange an exclusive trip
00:09:43to Dragon Isle from the three of you.
00:09:45Love you, hon.
00:09:46Take care.
00:09:56Hey, why don't you go play for a while, Cecilia,
00:09:58and I have some grown-up stuff to talk about, okay?
00:10:01Yeah.
00:10:17Thank God she finally got the hell out of there.
00:10:27Is that Evelyn's Marjorie?
00:10:29And I'm going to wear it in her bed
00:10:31while I fuck her husband.
00:10:35And later tonight,
00:10:36her husband's treating me to a candlelit dinner
00:10:39on the ultra-exclusive island you've got a spirit.
00:10:46Wow.
00:10:57Good afternoon, Evelyn.
00:11:09I made some afternoon tea for you and Lucian.
00:11:12I even helped too, honey.
00:11:26To Evelyn.
00:11:34You know, Evelyn,
00:11:35I've been thinking about starting a charity project.
00:11:39There are so many people living on the streets these days.
00:11:42I'd love to help them the way you once helped us,
00:11:44but building shelters would cost a fortune,
00:11:47far more than I could ever afford.
00:11:52Everyone knows how generous you are.
00:11:54I was hoping, maybe,
00:11:56you might help fund it.
00:12:00Of course.
00:12:01You'll get whatever funding you need.
00:12:05Wonderful.
00:12:06Then it's settled.
00:12:08All right, now let's enjoy the food.
00:12:18Lucian,
00:12:19your Royal Academy entrance exam is tomorrow, isn't it?
00:12:24Oh, yeah.
00:12:27Tomorrow's your big day.
00:12:28I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:12:30I just know you'll show everyone
00:12:31what the future king's made of.
00:12:34Of course I will.
00:12:35Next candidate,
00:12:37Lucian Leeper.
00:12:49Show him what you've got, son.
00:12:50You got this, son?
00:12:52I mean,
00:12:53Prince Lucian!
00:12:58Oh, yeah.
00:13:15No!
00:13:16No!
00:13:17No!
00:13:18No!
00:13:31Get away from me!
00:13:35That's the Dragon Prince. What a disgrace. He doesn't have a fraction of his mother's courage.
00:13:39Everyone said the prince is useless. Turns out they were being generous.
00:13:44Lucian Lipat. Fail.
00:14:01Congratulations. You humiliated yourself in front of the entire kingdom, and somehow you still have an appetite.
00:14:06That pathetic display of yours has turned your mother and me into a laughingstock.
00:14:10After a performance like that, you could even get into the worst school in the whole empire, much less the
00:14:14Royal Academy.
00:14:15So what? Mother can fix it. She'll donate a few buildings, hand them a pile of gold, and boom, I'm
00:14:21admitted. Problem solved.
00:14:24Your mother's planning to step down early and hand you the entire Eastern Empire.
00:14:29How do you expect anyone to accept you as king with an attitude like this?
00:14:32Whatever. She'll figure it out for me.
00:14:38Your mother will always stand beside you, Lucian. But you still need to prove yourself.
00:14:44Otherwise, how will you keep control over the cabinet?
00:14:46There's no need to worry. I've made all the necessary arrangements for Lucian.
00:14:52Beginning this summer solstice, he'll work at my side and learn how the cabinet governs the land.
00:14:58After that, he'll continue his training at the Royal Academy.
00:15:02Once he completes his studies, the entire empire will officially be passed on to him.
00:15:09Evelyn! That's incredible! My God, Lucian couldn't ask for a more devoted mother.
00:15:14Well, now that everything's settled, I'll go see how dinner is coming along.
00:15:19I'll give her a hand.
00:15:22Thanks, Mother.
00:15:24I'll let you get back to work. Love ya.
00:15:26All this time, and they still think I'm a cluteless fool who never saw any of this coming.
00:15:34And every day, they get more reckless.
00:15:41Are you insane?
00:15:42Your wife's right upstairs. If she sees us, everything we've worked for is over.
00:15:48That oblivious fool won't see a thing.
00:15:51Plus, I put sleeping medicine in her tea.
00:15:53Enough to keep her out all night.
00:15:56Once she puts our son on the throne, I'll fuck you right in front of her face.
00:16:05They laugh because they think I'm oblivious.
00:16:08But very soon they'll find out that I've been watching as they dig their own graves.
00:16:19Ever since I sent Lucian to the Royal Academy, Cecilia hasn't set foot in the palace.
00:16:24But that's only because Cyril goes out to see her now.
00:16:27And every time he leaves, he makes sure he looks flawless.
00:16:32Honey, I'm going hunting tonight with a few elders from the Dragon Council.
00:16:35I might be getting home late.
00:16:37That's fine. Enjoy yourself, darling.
00:16:48It's only a matter of time before the games finally begin.
00:17:06My father!
00:17:08Aunt Cecilia!
00:17:10Papa!
00:17:16Lucian, I've missed you so much!
00:17:18Did you miss me too?
00:17:21Easy.
00:17:22You look more excited than his own mother.
00:17:23Oh.
00:17:32Forgive me, Your Majesty.
00:17:34You know how fond I am of Lucian.
00:17:36It's been so long since I've seen him.
00:17:38I simply got carried away.
00:17:40Mother, when are you finally going to hand me the throne?
00:17:43Honey, you see, Lucian is eager to prove himself to the council.
00:17:49The coronation has already been arranged.
00:17:52I'll announce my decision there.
00:17:59Why do you think the Dragon Queen summoned the entire kingdom?
00:18:02I heard the Dragon Prince has returned.
00:18:04Maybe she's finally handing him the Empire.
00:18:06That useless son of hers.
00:18:08He's not fit to lead anyone.
00:18:09He's nothing like Evelyn.
00:18:10Not a trace of true dragon spirit in him.
00:18:12It's almost like he's an imposter in his own land.
00:18:14Look!
00:18:15The Queen is here!
00:18:35Thank you all for coming.
00:18:39Effective immediately, I am stepping down as Dragon Queen.
00:18:46As for my land and my authority, I will pass all of it to Lucian Lippert.
00:18:56Lucian will be the next ruler of the Eastern Empire.
00:19:10Thank you, Mother.
00:19:17Now kneel before your new king!
00:19:22Lucian!
00:19:23That's it!
00:19:24Lucian!
00:19:24That's my boy!
00:19:25That's what I'm talking about!
00:19:29Wait.
00:19:30Why is she so excited?
00:19:31It's not like there's son up there.
00:19:39Oh, but he is.
00:19:40Lucian, the new king of the Eastern Empire, is my son.
00:19:46Oh, but he is.
00:19:48Lucian, the new king of the Eastern Empire, is my son.
00:19:53What is she talking about?
00:19:55Wait.
00:19:55What is the Queen's husband doing?
00:19:57He's holding hands with another woman.
00:20:00Oh, my God.
00:20:01I know her.
00:20:02That's Cecilia, Evelyn's most trusted handmaiden.
00:20:12Thank you, Evelyn.
00:20:13Thank you for spending all these years raising my son for me like the foolish demons you are.
00:20:19But right here, right now, it's time for you to give me back my son.
00:20:27And my empire.
00:20:31How could they betray the same woman who once saved their lives?
00:20:33They're monsters.
00:20:34So she slept with the Queen's husband and then made the Queen raise her bastard child?
00:20:37She waited until the moment Evelyn crowned Lucius to reveal he was hers.
00:20:40She planned it from the beginning.
00:20:42That woman is pure evil.
00:20:44And she doesn't just want her son back.
00:20:45She wants every bit of Evelyn's power.
00:20:51And what exactly are any of you going to do about it?
00:20:56Evelyn, you were a devoted wife to me for more than 20 years, and I'm grateful for that.
00:21:00But I never loved you.
00:21:02My heart has always belonged to Cecilia.
00:21:04I only married you because I felt indebted to you.
00:21:06So please, just accept the truth and give Cecilia what rightfully belongs to her.
00:21:12Tell her yourself, Lucian.
00:21:22Mother.
00:21:24Oh, and enjoy hearing that word because it's the last time I'll ever call you that.
00:21:27You spent 21 years giving me whatever I wanted, but that doesn't make me your son.
00:21:31You were never my family.
00:21:33You were just some woman who raised me.
00:21:36Look at yourself.
00:21:37Even the boy you raised wants nothing to do with you.
00:21:40Back then, I was stupid enough to mark you as my mate, but that ends today.
00:21:45Cecilia's the woman I should have chosen from the start.
00:21:51I, Cyril Theodore, formally reject you, Evelyn Lippet, as my mate.
00:21:57I know you're desperate to hold on to me, but you're no use to me anymore, okay?
00:22:01So just hurry up and accept the rejection.
00:22:03My father's chosen mate should be my real mother, not some dumb bitch he never loved.
00:22:06That boy is a monster.
00:22:08Evelyn raised him as her own and gave him the entire empire, and this is how he repays her.
00:22:14He's even helping his father reject her in front of the whole kingdom.
00:22:17This is beyond cruel.
00:22:19Don't give them what they want, your majesty.
00:22:21I'll take this straight to the council and have all three of them removed.
00:22:25Fight back, your majesty.
00:22:26We'll stand with you.
00:22:28Enough!
00:22:29All of you, shut your mouths.
00:22:31The royal family's affairs are not to be interfered with.
00:22:36Just accept it, Evelyn.
00:22:38Then I might let you walk out of here with whatever dignity you have left.
00:22:42Fine.
00:22:47I, Evelyn Lippet, accept Cyril Theodore's rejection.
00:22:56What did you do to him, you bitch?
00:22:59I knew you were onto something.
00:23:06No.
00:23:06She didn't do anything.
00:23:08The bond is gone.
00:23:10She's accepted the rejection.
00:23:19I'll admit, you had me worried for a second.
00:23:23I thought the great Evelyn Lippard might have actually had one last trick up her sleeve.
00:23:29But it seems I gave you too much credit.
00:23:34You were my puppet from the very beginning.
00:23:39Your son, your husband, your palace.
00:23:42Everything you ever had belongs to me now.
00:23:45Now get out before I move sour.
00:23:50Why are you in such a hurry?
00:23:54You went to all this trouble to surprise me, right?
00:23:59The least I can do is return the favor.
00:24:05Bring it out.
00:24:08And then, you make it.
00:24:10All right.
00:24:26I, I, I got it.
00:24:28I, I got it.
00:24:43My baby, it's okay. Mommy's here now.
00:24:49This forest, this is where I saved Cyril and Cecilia's lives.
00:25:15I brought them back to the Dragon Palace, made them my personal attendants. I treated them like family.
00:25:34First you sleep together behind my back, then you switch our children? And now you're planning to bleed me dry.
00:25:40You want me to raise your child? Fine. I'll give you exactly what you want. Just don't blame me when
00:25:46Karma comes back to bite you.
00:26:02Your Majesty, you haven't slept in ten days. If you keep pushing yourself like this, you won't make it.
00:26:07Please, you have to save my baby. He's the future of the Empire. I've given everything for him.
00:26:27Today, our beloved queen and my beloved wife has given the Empire its future king.
00:26:34Today, a new age begins.
00:26:46There you are, my dear. Come on. Let's go see your father.
00:26:53That fool of a woman didn't realize we switched the babies, did she?
00:27:03Relax. She didn't see a thing.
00:27:20That snooty little bitch. She has no idea the dragon baby she nearly died giving birth to is lying on
00:27:26a cliffside waiting to die.
00:27:30Who would have thought the two pathetic snakes she rescued all those years ago now are sleeping together in her
00:27:37bed?
00:27:38All while she raises our child like a blind moron.
00:27:52I bet she's cradling our baby and singing him to sleep as we speak.
00:27:58Meanwhile, her precious little dragon's probably being torn to shreds by some starving beast.
00:28:06How much longer do we have to keep pretending with that brainless bitch?
00:28:09She orders me around like a servant while I watch you play the devoted husband.
00:28:13And my own son's gonna have to call her mother.
00:28:16It makes me sick just thinking about it.
00:28:19Be patient, darling. The Eastern Empire won't belong to her forever.
00:28:23Once our son inherits the throne, every last piece of it will be ours.
00:28:27And then we'll drag Evelyn out of this palace and leave her corpse to rot in the mud.
00:28:39No, I won't let them get away with this.
00:28:44My baby!
00:28:46My baby, where are you?
00:28:52That's my baby's scent.
00:29:12My baby, it's okay. Mommy's here now.
00:29:18This forest.
00:29:21This is where I saved Cyril and Cecilia's lives.
00:29:44I brought them back to the Dragon Palace.
00:29:47Made them my personal attendants.
00:29:49I treated them like family.
00:30:03First you sleep together behind my back, then you switch our children?
00:30:06And now you're planning to bleed me dry.
00:30:09You want me to raise your child? Fine.
00:30:12I'll give you exactly what you want.
00:30:14Just don't blame me when karma comes back to bite you.
00:30:27Evelyn, what are you doing here?
00:30:29What?
00:30:29Am I not allowed in my own bedroom?
00:30:31Of course you are.
00:30:32I thought you'd still be resting.
00:30:35Cyril and I were just busy making the bed for you and the young prince.
00:30:42Oh my god.
00:30:43There he is.
00:30:44Let me see him.
00:30:49He's adorable, isn't he?
00:30:59Congratulations, Evelyn.
00:31:00You've given the Empire its heir.
00:31:02I'm sure he'll grow up to be a strong man who fills you with pride.
00:31:05I'm sure he will, too.
00:31:07And when my son becomes king, I'll give him a gift he'll remember for the rest of his life.
00:31:23Evelyn.
00:31:27What are you doing here?
00:31:29Honey, I thought you had a cabinet meeting today.
00:31:33I did, but I also wanted to celebrate my son's birthday.
00:31:37Is that a problem?
00:31:40Yes, it is.
00:31:42I don't want you here.
00:31:44Daddy and Auntie Cecilia are all I need.
00:31:46All I need from you is a trip to Royal Dragon Isle for the three of us.
00:31:50But you can't even give me that simple birthday gift.
00:31:52You're the worst mommy ever.
00:31:59Lucian, is that any way to speak to your mother?
00:32:02Don't be so hard on him, Cyril.
00:32:07Lucian, your mother works day and night to build a powerful empire for you and the people.
00:32:12You can't speak to her like that, okay?
00:32:16You're kids, right?
00:32:18Always speaking first and thinking later.
00:32:22You'll forgive him, won't you?
00:32:26Of course I'll forgive my own son, but...
00:32:30Cecilia, shouldn't you be at this afternoon's cabinet meeting?
00:32:34Cecilia just stopped by to deliver the cake.
00:32:36Then Lucian begged her to stay and sing happy birthday.
00:32:39So I told her she could stay for a bit.
00:32:42You too.
00:32:50Thank you for keeping my son company on his birthday.
00:32:53It's the least I can do for the person who saved my life as a child.
00:32:56I'm just grateful your son's so fond of me.
00:32:59Lucian is such a wonderful boy.
00:33:02Sometimes I feel like we share a kind of inexplicable bond.
00:33:09I'd really love to spend more time with him.
00:33:13That wouldn't bother you, would it, Evelyn?
00:33:19Why would it?
00:33:20I'm grateful someone can be here for him when I'm preoccupied.
00:33:24There's no need to thank me.
00:33:25I'm just doing my duty as a loyal subject.
00:33:29Lucian, come on.
00:33:30Let's cut your cake.
00:33:32Aren't you supposed to be busy?
00:33:33Go back to your meeting!
00:33:36And don't forget, you promised to send us on a trip to Royal Dragon Island.
00:33:48Honey, don't take it to heart.
00:33:50He's just worried we'll distract you from your work.
00:33:52Just last week, he stopped me from calling you because he wanted you rested for your meeting.
00:33:57He really is the most thoughtful boy.
00:34:00Hey, you must be proud to have raised such a remarkable young prince.
00:34:05Very well.
00:34:06If it's what Lucian wants, I'll return to my meeting.
00:34:09And I'll have the staff arrange an exclusive trip to Dragon Isle for the three of you.
00:34:12Love you, hon.
00:34:14Take care.
00:34:24Hey, why don't you go play for a while?
00:34:25Cecilia and I have some grown-up stuff to talk about, okay?
00:34:29Okay.
00:34:44Thank God, she finally got the hell out of here.
00:34:55Is that Evelyn's lingerie?
00:34:56And I'm going to wear it in her bed while I fuck her husband.
00:35:02And later tonight, her husband's treating me to a candlelit dinner on the ultra-exclusive island she bought a trip
00:35:09to.
00:35:25Good afternoon, Evelyn.
00:35:37I made some afternoon tea for you and Lucian.
00:35:40I even helped too, honey.
00:35:53To Evelyn.
00:36:02You know, Evelyn, I've been thinking about starting a charity project.
00:36:06There are so many people living on the streets these days.
00:36:10I'd love to help them the way you once helped us, but building shelters would cost a fortune, far more
00:36:15than I could ever afford.
00:36:19Everyone knows how generous you are.
00:36:22I was hoping maybe you might help fund it.
00:36:27Of course.
00:36:29You'll get whatever funding you need.
00:36:33Wonderful.
00:36:34Then it's settled.
00:36:35All right, now let's enjoy the food.
00:36:45Lucian, your Royal Academy entrance exam is tomorrow, isn't it?
00:36:52Oh, yeah.
00:36:54Tomorrow's your big day.
00:36:55I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:36:57I just know you'll show everyone what the future king's made of.
00:37:01Of course I will.
00:37:03Next candidate, Lucian Leeper.
00:37:16Show them what you've got, son.
00:37:18You've got this, son!
00:37:19I mean, Prince Lucian!
00:37:46I mean, Prince Lucian!
00:37:59Get away from me!
00:38:03That's the dragon, Prince.
00:38:04What a disgrace.
00:38:05He doesn't have a fraction of his mother's courage.
00:38:07Everyone said the Prince was useless.
00:38:09Turns out they were being generous.
00:38:11Lucian Leeper.
00:38:13Fail.
00:38:28Congratulations.
00:38:29You humiliated yourself in front of the entire kingdom,
00:38:32and somehow you still have an appetite.
00:38:34That pathetic display of yours has turned your mother and me into a laughingstock.
00:38:37After a performance like that,
00:38:39you couldn't even get into the worst school in the whole empire,
00:38:41much less the Royal Academy.
00:38:43So what?
00:38:44Mother can fix it.
00:38:45She'll donate a few buildings,
00:38:46hand them a pile of gold,
00:38:48and boom, I'm admitted.
00:38:49Problem solved.
00:38:52Your mother's planning to step down early
00:38:54and hand you the entire Eastern Empire.
00:38:56How do you expect anyone to accept you as king
00:38:58with an attitude like this?
00:39:00Whatever.
00:39:01She'll figure it out for me.
00:39:06Your mother will always stand beside you, Lucian.
00:39:09But you still need to prove yourself.
00:39:12Otherwise, how will you keep control over the cabinet?
00:39:14There's no need to worry.
00:39:15I've made all the necessary arrangements for Lucian.
00:39:20Beginning this summer solstice,
00:39:22he'll work at my side and learn how the cabinet governs the land.
00:39:26After that, he'll continue his training at the Royal Academy.
00:39:29Once he completes his studies,
00:39:31the entire empire will officially be passed on to him.
00:39:37Evelyn, that's incredible.
00:39:39My God, Lucian couldn't ask for a more devoted mother.
00:39:42Well, now that everything's settled,
00:39:43I'll go see how dinner is coming along.
00:39:47I'll give her a hand.
00:39:50Thanks, mother.
00:39:51I'll let you get back to work.
00:39:53Love you.
00:39:54All this time,
00:39:55and they still think I'm a cluteless fool
00:39:57who never saw any of this coming.
00:40:01And every day,
00:40:03they get more reckless.
00:40:08Are you insane?
00:40:10Your wife's right upstairs.
00:40:11If she sees us,
00:40:12everything we've worked for is over.
00:40:16That oblivious fool won't see a thing.
00:40:19Plus, I put sleeping medicine in her tea,
00:40:21enough to keep her out all night.
00:40:24When she puts our son on the throne,
00:40:26I'll fuck you right in front of her.
00:40:33They laugh because they think I'm oblivious.
00:40:36But very soon, they'll find out
00:40:38that I've been watching as they dig their own graves.
00:40:46Ever since I sent Lucian to the Royal Academy,
00:40:49Cecilia hasn't set foot in the palace.
00:40:52But that's only because Cyril goes out to see him.
00:40:54And every time he leaves,
00:40:56he makes sure he looks flawless.
00:40:59Honey,
00:41:00I'm going hunting tonight
00:41:01with a few elders from the Dragon Council.
00:41:03I might be getting home late.
00:41:05That's fine.
00:41:06Enjoy yourself, darling.
00:41:16It's only a matter of time
00:41:19before the games finally begin.
00:41:35Father!
00:41:36Father!
00:41:36Aunt Cecilia!
00:41:37Father!
00:41:43Lucian, I've missed you so much!
00:41:45Did you miss me too?
00:41:46Will?
00:41:48Easy.
00:41:49You look more excited than his own mother.
00:42:00Forgive me, your majesty.
00:42:02You know how fond I am of Lucian.
00:42:04It's been so long since I've seen him.
00:42:06I simply got carried away.
00:42:08Mother,
00:42:08when are you finally going to hand me the throne?
00:42:10Honey,
00:42:11you see,
00:42:12Lucian is eager to prove himself to the council.
00:42:17The coronation has already been arranged.
00:42:20I'll announce my decision there.
00:42:27Why do you think the Dragon Queen summoned the entire kingdom?
00:42:29I heard the Dragon Prince has returned.
00:42:32Maybe she's finally handing him the Empire.
00:42:34That useless son of hers.
00:42:35He's not fit to lead anyone.
00:42:37He's nothing like Evelyn,
00:42:38not a trace of true dragon spirit in him.
00:42:40It's almost like he's an imposter in his own land.
00:42:42Look!
00:42:43The Queen is here!
00:43:03Thank you all for coming.
00:43:07Effective immediately,
00:43:08I am stepping down as Dragon Queen.
00:43:13As for my land and my authority,
00:43:16I will pass all of it
00:43:17to Lucian Lippert.
00:43:23Lucian will be the next ruler
00:43:25of the Eastern Empire.
00:43:38Thank you, Mother.
00:43:45Now kneel before your new king!
00:43:50That's it!
00:43:51Lucian!
00:43:52That's my boy!
00:43:53That's what I'm talking about!
00:43:56Wait.
00:43:57Why is she so excited?
00:43:59It's not like there's a son up there.
00:44:06No, but he is.
00:44:08Lucian,
00:44:08the new king of the Eastern Empire
00:44:10is my son.
00:44:14Oh, but he is.
00:44:15Lucian,
00:44:16the new king of the Eastern Empire
00:44:17is my son.
00:44:21What is she talking about?
00:44:22Wait.
00:44:23What is the Queen's husband doing?
00:44:25He's holding hands with another woman.
00:44:28Oh, my God.
00:44:29I know her.
00:44:30That's Cecilia,
00:44:30Evelyn's most trusted handmaiden.
00:44:39Thank you, Evelyn.
00:44:41Thank you for spending all these years
00:44:43raising my son for me
00:44:44like the foolish dill that you are.
00:44:46But right here,
00:44:47right now,
00:44:49it's time for you to give me back my son.
00:44:55And my empire.
00:44:58How could they betray the same woman
00:45:00who once saved their lives?
00:45:01They're monsters.
00:45:01So she slept with the Queen's husband
00:45:03and then made the Queen raise her bastard child.
00:45:04She waited until the moment
00:45:05Evelyn crowned Lucius
00:45:06to reveal he was hers.
00:45:07She planned it from the beginning.
00:45:09That woman is pure evil.
00:45:11And she doesn't just want her son back.
00:45:13She wants every bit of Evelyn's power.
00:45:18And what exactly are any of you
00:45:20going to do about it?
00:45:23Evelyn,
00:45:24you were a devoted wife to me
00:45:25for more than 20 years
00:45:27and I'm grateful for that.
00:45:28But I never loved you.
00:45:29My heart has always belonged to Cecilia.
00:45:31I only married you
00:45:32because I felt indebted to you.
00:45:34So please,
00:45:34just accept the truth
00:45:35and give Cecilia
00:45:36what rightfully belongs to her.
00:45:39Tell her yourself, Lucian.
00:45:50Mother.
00:45:51Oh, and enjoy hearing that word
00:45:53because it's the last time
00:45:53I'll ever call you that.
00:45:55You spent 21 years
00:45:56giving me whatever I wanted
00:45:57but that doesn't make me your son.
00:45:59You were never my family.
00:46:01You were just some woman
00:46:02who raised me.
00:46:03Look at yourself.
00:46:05Even the boy you raised
00:46:06wants nothing to do with you.
00:46:08Back then,
00:46:09I was stupid enough
00:46:10to mark you as my mate
00:46:11but that ends today.
00:46:12Cecilia is the woman
00:46:13I should have chosen from the start.
00:46:18I, Cyril Theodore,
00:46:20formally reject you,
00:46:21Evelyn Lippet,
00:46:22as my mate.
00:46:25I know you're desperate
00:46:26to hold on to me
00:46:27but you're no use to me anymore, okay?
00:46:29So just hurry up
00:46:29and accept the rejection.
00:46:30My father's chosen mate
00:46:31should be my real mother
00:46:32not some dumb bitch
00:46:33he never loved.
00:46:34That boy is a monster.
00:46:36Evelyn raised him as her own
00:46:37and gave him the entire empire
00:46:39and this is how he repays her.
00:46:41He's even helping his father
00:46:42reject her in front of the whole kingdom.
00:46:45This is beyond cruel.
00:46:46Don't give them what they want,
00:46:48your majesty.
00:46:49I'll take this straight to the council
00:46:50and have all three of them removed.
00:46:52Fight back, your majesty.
00:46:54We'll stand with you.
00:46:56Enough!
00:46:57All of you,
00:46:58shut your mouths.
00:46:59The royal family's affairs
00:47:00are not to be interfered with.
00:47:04Just accept it, Evelyn.
00:47:05Then I might let you walk out of here
00:47:07with whatever dignity
00:47:08you have left.
00:47:09Fine.
00:47:15I, Evelyn Lippet,
00:47:16accept Cyril Theodore's rejection.
00:47:24What did you do to him,
00:47:25you bitch?
00:47:27I knew you were onto something.
00:47:33No, she didn't do anything.
00:47:36The bond is gone.
00:47:38She's accepted the rejection.
00:47:47I'll admit,
00:47:49you had me worried for a second.
00:47:51I thought the great Evelyn Lippard
00:47:53might have actually had
00:47:55one last trick up her sleeve.
00:47:57But it seems
00:47:58I gave you too much credit.
00:48:02You were my puppet
00:48:03from the very beginning.
00:48:06Your son,
00:48:08your husband,
00:48:09your palace,
00:48:10everything you ever had
00:48:10belongs to me now.
00:48:12Now get out
00:48:13before my mood sour.
00:48:17Why are you in such a hurry?
00:48:21You went to all this trouble
00:48:22to surprise me, right?
00:48:27The least I can do
00:48:28is return the favor.
00:48:32Bring it out.
00:48:34Bring it out.
00:48:38Bring it out.
00:49:11My baby, it's okay.
00:49:13Mommy's here now.
00:49:17This forest,
00:49:19this is where I saved
00:49:21Cyril and Cecilia's lives.
00:49:43I brought them back
00:49:44to the Dragon Palace,
00:49:45made them my personal attendants.
00:49:48I treated them like family.
00:50:01First, you sleep together
00:50:03behind my back,
00:50:04then you switch our children?
00:50:05And now you're planning
00:50:06to bleed me dry.
00:50:08You want me to raise your child?
00:50:10Fine.
00:50:10I'll give you exactly
00:50:11what you want.
00:50:12Just don't blame me
00:50:14when Karma comes back
00:50:14to bite you.
00:50:30your majesty.
00:50:31You haven't slept in 10 days.
00:50:32If you keep pushing yourself
00:50:33like this,
00:50:34you won't make it.
00:50:35Please,
00:50:35you have to save my baby.
00:50:39He's the future of the Empire.
00:50:41I've given everything for him.
00:50:55Today,
00:50:56our beloved queen
00:50:56and my beloved wife
00:50:58has given the Empire
00:50:59its future king.
00:51:01Today,
00:51:02a new age begins.
00:51:13There you are,
00:51:14my dear.
00:51:15Come on.
00:51:16Let's go see your father.
00:51:21That fool of a woman
00:51:22didn't realize
00:51:22we switched the babies,
00:51:24did she?
00:51:29Relax.
00:51:31She didn't see a thing.
00:51:32She didn't see a thing.
00:51:48That snooty little bitch.
00:51:50She has no idea
00:51:51the dragon baby
00:51:52she nearly died
00:51:52giving birth to
00:51:53is lying on a cliffside
00:51:54waiting to die.
00:51:57Who would have thought
00:52:00the two pathetic snakes
00:52:01she rescued all those years ago
00:52:03now are sleeping together
00:52:04in her bed
00:52:05all while she raises
00:52:06our child
00:52:07like a blind moron.
00:52:19I bet she's cradling
00:52:21our baby
00:52:22and singing him to sleep
00:52:23as we speak.
00:52:25Meanwhile,
00:52:26her precious little dragon
00:52:27is probably being torn to shreds
00:52:28by some starving beast.
00:52:33How much longer
00:52:34do we have to keep pretending
00:52:35with that brainless bitch?
00:52:37She orders me around
00:52:38like a servant
00:52:39while I watch you
00:52:39play the devoted husband
00:52:40and my own son's
00:52:42gonna have to call her mother.
00:52:44It makes me sick
00:52:45just thinking about it.
00:52:46Be patient, darling.
00:52:48The Eastern Empire
00:52:48won't belong to her forever.
00:52:50Once our son inherits
00:52:51the throne,
00:52:52every last piece of it
00:52:53will be ours.
00:52:55And then we'll drag
00:52:56Evelyn out of this palace
00:52:57and leave her corpse
00:52:58to rot in the mud.
00:53:07No.
00:53:08I won't let them
00:53:08get away with this.
00:53:12My baby!
00:53:14My baby!
00:53:15Where are you?
00:53:20That's my baby's scent.
00:53:40My baby, it's okay.
00:53:42Mommy's here now.
00:53:45This forest.
00:53:48This is where I saved
00:53:50Cyril and Cecilia's lives.
00:54:12I brought them back
00:54:13to the Dragon Palace
00:54:14made them my personal
00:54:16attendants.
00:54:17I treated them
00:54:18like family.
00:54:30First, you sleep together
00:54:31behind my back
00:54:32then you switch
00:54:33our children?
00:54:34And now you're planning
00:54:35to bleed me dry.
00:54:37You want me to raise
00:54:38your child?
00:54:38Fine.
00:54:39I'll give you
00:54:40exactly what you want.
00:54:41Just don't blame me
00:54:42when karma comes back
00:54:43to bite you.
00:54:55Evelyn, what are you
00:54:56doing here?
00:54:57What?
00:54:57Am I not allowed
00:54:58in my own bedroom?
00:54:59Of course you are.
00:55:00I thought you'd still
00:55:00be resting.
00:55:02Cyril and I were just
00:55:03busy making the bed
00:55:04for you and the young
00:55:05prince.
00:55:09Oh my god!
00:55:10There he is!
00:55:11Let me see him.
00:55:17He's adorable, isn't he?
00:55:26Congratulations, Evelyn.
00:55:28You've given the Empire
00:55:29its heir.
00:55:30I'm sure he'll grow up
00:55:31to be a strong man
00:55:32who fills you with pride.
00:55:33I'm sure he will too.
00:55:35And when my son
00:55:36becomes king,
00:55:37I'll give him a gift
00:55:38he'll remember
00:55:38for the rest of his life.
00:55:51Evelyn!
00:55:54What are you doing here?
00:55:57Honey,
00:55:57I thought you had
00:55:59a cabinet meeting today.
00:56:01I did,
00:56:01but I also wanted
00:56:02to celebrate
00:56:03my son's birthday.
00:56:04Is that a problem?
00:56:08Yes, it is.
00:56:10I don't want you here.
00:56:12Daddy and Auntie Cecilia
00:56:13are all I need.
00:56:14All I need from you
00:56:15is a trip to Royal Dragon Isle
00:56:17for the three of us.
00:56:18But you can't even give me
00:56:19that simple birthday gift.
00:56:20You're the worst mommy ever!
00:56:27Lucian,
00:56:27is that any way
00:56:28to speak to your mother?
00:56:30Don't be so hard
00:56:31on him, Cyril.
00:56:34Lucian,
00:56:35your mother works
00:56:36day and night
00:56:36to build a powerful empire
00:56:37for you and the people.
00:56:39You can't speak to her
00:56:41like that, okay?
00:56:44Kids, right?
00:56:45Always speaking first
00:56:47and thinking later.
00:56:49You'll forgive him,
00:56:51won't you?
00:56:53Of course I'll forgive
00:56:55my own son,
00:56:56but...
00:56:57Cecilia,
00:56:58shouldn't you be
00:56:59at this afternoon's
00:57:00cabinet meeting?
00:57:02Cecilia just stopped by
00:57:03to deliver the cake.
00:57:04Then Lucian begged her
00:57:05to stay and sing
00:57:06happy birthday.
00:57:06So I told her
00:57:07she could stay for a bit.
00:57:09You too.
00:57:17Thank you for keeping
00:57:18my son company
00:57:19on his birthday.
00:57:20It's the least I can do
00:57:21for the person
00:57:22who saved my life
00:57:23as a child.
00:57:24I'm just grateful
00:57:25your son's so fond of me.
00:57:27Lucian is such
00:57:28a wonderful boy.
00:57:30Sometimes I feel like
00:57:31we share a kind of
00:57:33inexplicable bond.
00:57:36I'd really love
00:57:37to spend more time
00:57:38with him.
00:57:41That wouldn't bother you,
00:57:43would it, Evelyn?
00:57:47Why would it?
00:57:48I'm grateful someone
00:57:49can be here for him
00:57:49when I'm preoccupied.
00:57:51There's no need
00:57:52to thank me.
00:57:53I'm just doing my duty
00:57:54as a loyal subject.
00:57:56Lucian,
00:57:57come on.
00:57:58Let's cut your cake.
00:57:59Aren't you supposed
00:58:00to be busy?
00:58:01Go back to your meeting!
00:58:04And don't forget,
00:58:05you promised to send us
00:58:06on a trip to
00:58:07Royal Dragon Island.
00:58:08Shh.
00:58:14Honey,
00:58:16don't take it to heart.
00:58:17He's just worried
00:58:18we'll distract you
00:58:19from your work.
00:58:20Just last week,
00:58:21he stopped me
00:58:22from calling you
00:58:22because he wanted you
00:58:23rested for your meeting.
00:58:25He really is
00:58:26the most thoughtful boy.
00:58:28You must be proud
00:58:29to have raised
00:58:29such a remarkable
00:58:30young prince.
00:58:32Very well.
00:58:34If it's what Lucian wants,
00:58:35I'll return to my meeting.
00:58:36And I'll have the staff
00:58:37arrange an exclusive trip
00:58:38to Dragon Isle
00:58:39for the three of you.
00:58:40Love you, hun.
00:58:41Take care.
00:58:51Hey, why don't you
00:58:52go play for a while?
00:58:53Cecilia and I
00:58:53have some
00:58:54grown-up stuff
00:58:55to talk about, okay?
00:58:56Okay.
00:59:12Thank God.
00:59:13She finally
00:59:14got that out of here.
00:59:22Is that Evelyn's
00:59:24lingerie?
00:59:24And I'm going
00:59:25to wear it
00:59:26in her bed
00:59:26while I fuck
00:59:27her husband.
00:59:30And later tonight,
00:59:32her husband's

00:59:33to a candle-lit dinner
00:59:34on the ultra-exclusive
00:59:35island she bought
00:59:36us a trip to.
00:59:52Good afternoon, Evelyn.
01:00:04I made some
01:00:05afternoon tea
01:00:06for you and Lucian.
