00:00:00On the very day of our 10th anniversary feast,
00:00:09my own sister had climbed into my husband's bed.
00:00:12I think you see clearly what I'm doing.
00:00:17Today marks 10 years of our marriage.
00:00:19I only married you because Janna was going to study at the Royal Academy in the capital.
00:00:25Honestly, you should be ashamed.
00:00:27You're so dull, no one could ever love you.
00:00:39This is the marriage annulment agreement.
00:00:42Sign it!
00:00:44Get out of my chamber.
00:00:5110 years.
00:00:52All of it a lie.
00:00:55I didn't know how I got out of the castle.
00:01:00The only person I could think of was my mother.
00:01:07Estella, do you know what hour it is?
00:01:09Mother, Conrad has betrayed me.
00:01:11With Janna.
00:01:12I saw them with my own eyes.
00:01:16That's it.
00:01:17I've known for a long time.
00:01:21You were always just a placeholder.
00:01:23You're not as witty as your sister, nor as beautiful.
00:01:26All you do is clean and cook.
00:01:28That's not a wife.
00:01:30That's a servant.
00:01:31Why?
00:01:32Mother, why are you so unfair?
00:01:34It's not that I'm unfair.
00:01:36It's that you're selfish.
00:01:39End this marriage quietly.
00:01:41Be grateful that we feed you.
00:01:46You have no skills.
00:01:48You've never worked a day.
00:01:50Leave us.
00:01:51And you won't survive.
00:01:54Leave now.
00:01:56And never disturb my sleep in the dead of night.
00:02:04I came to my mother for help, but she turned me down without hesitation.
00:02:09Since I never had anything to begin with, I have nothing left to lose.
00:02:16My emergency savings.
00:02:17It's yours.
00:02:18You can stay here as long as you want.
00:02:21I don't need your money, Chloe.
00:02:25You're mad.
00:02:26You've been a housewife for ten years.
00:02:29You have nothing.
00:02:33I have something.
00:02:44What is this?
00:02:51Letter of recommendation from the royal head chef?
00:02:55Estella, what in the heavens?
00:02:58Three years ago, I claimed to be on a retreat at the convent.
00:03:03But I actually went to the capital.
00:03:05I apprenticed in the royal kitchen for three years.
00:03:10Herbal remedy morn roll from the convent physician?
00:03:13You have this too?
00:03:14Conrad suffered from digestive imbalance and anxiety.
00:03:16So I learned dietary therapy and constitutional regulation.
00:03:24You did all this for him?
00:03:29Letter of recommendation from a royal academy lecture.
00:03:33Philosophy of mind.
00:03:35Estella, they shouldn't have underestimated you.
00:03:38You're a genius.
00:03:39You exaggerate.
00:03:40I only hope to find a proper job to support myself.
00:03:48I might know a job that's perfect for you.
00:03:58A live-in steward at Winter's Castle.
00:04:01Chloe, I still think this is too crazy.
00:04:03That's the Winter's family.
00:04:06I should just forget it.
00:04:07You're already here.
00:04:08How will you know if you don't try?
00:04:14Estella Lowe, I am Eleanor Finch.
00:04:17Sit.
00:04:22Your credentials are impressive.
00:04:25But you have a 10-year gap.
00:04:27What did you do before?
00:04:31We're going to rebuild your resume.
00:04:34First of all, absolutely no mention of housewife.
00:04:40I was the private household steward for the Niezes family.
00:04:44I managed a household budget of thousands of gold coins.
00:04:47I didn't just arrange banquets.
00:04:49I designed dietary treatments.
00:04:52I managed a patient's anxiety.
00:04:54I understand people.
00:04:55I know what they need before they ask.
00:05:04The Winters family has unique needs.
00:05:08Lady Winters wants to see your skills for herself.
00:05:12Tomorrow, go to the estate for a trial.
00:05:15Bring all your identity documents and letters of recommendation.
00:05:18I took the parchment, my fingertips tingling.
00:05:22It wasn't an offer yet, but it was the first crack of light through the long closed door.
00:05:30Before I left, I returned to Nieves' castle to retrieve my identity documents and letters of recommendation.
00:05:40Take down those tapetries too.
00:05:48What are you doing here?
00:05:51Estella, don't forget.
00:05:53You have already been thrown away.
00:05:58You came back just for this pile of worthless scrap?
00:06:01You came back just for this pile of worthless scrap?
00:06:11Father's things?
00:06:13He can't do anything about it now.
00:06:17Oops!
00:06:18Clumsy me.
00:06:28I didn't need to hate them.
00:06:31My future was in my own hands.
00:06:34I've been looking for you for two days and nights!
00:06:38Where do you think you're going dressed like that?
00:06:44I'm going to apply for the position of live-in steward at Winters Castle.
00:06:51Estella, so you came back for your identity papers.
00:06:55Just to apply as a servant.
00:06:59You are a low!
00:07:02How dare you work as a servant!
00:07:07You're doing this to shame us.
00:07:10To get back at Janna!
00:07:13I'm doing this to survive.
00:07:16Move.
00:07:21If you walk out that door, tomorrow I will post a note in the town square disowning you.
00:07:30My money, not a single coin will be left for you.
00:07:33Then post it.
00:07:36I don't care.
00:07:38What did you say?
00:07:42You will regret this!
00:07:45You will come crawling back to me!
00:07:52To Winters Castle.
00:08:01Miss Lowe.
00:08:03I am Alistair Crane, the steward.
00:08:06Welcome to Winters Castle.
00:08:08The castle has 50 chambers and 32 servants.
00:08:11Lady Winters demands punctuality, discretion and perfection.
00:08:25That's Julian.
00:08:26He spent six months without a word.
00:08:28Weeks without a full meal.
00:08:38I am Beatrice Winters.
00:08:40Eleanor says you understand people.
00:08:43Prove it.
00:08:45You have one hour.
00:08:46The kitchen is yours.
00:08:48Make my son eat willingly.
00:08:50No force feeding, no bribes.
00:08:53I won't let you down.
00:08:55I won't let you down.
00:09:03You're the new one?
00:09:04I've tried everything.
00:09:06Steak, stew, nothing works.
00:09:11That's it.
00:09:37This little star is delicious.
00:09:39Soft and creamy.
00:09:43These little rabbits are shy.
00:09:45They're looking for a friend.
00:09:46But they're scared of this big, quiet room.
00:09:51I'm going to eat this star.
00:09:54It's very brave.
00:10:15He ate.
00:10:16He ate.
00:10:17He ate.
00:10:18He ate willingly.
00:10:18You're hired.
00:10:20Whatever you want, it's yours.
00:10:22My lady, it is an honor to serve you.
00:10:25This would be my new beginning.
00:10:29One hundred gold pieces.
00:10:32Beatrice's signing bonus.
00:10:36It was the first time in my life I had money that was truly mine.
00:10:45Miss Lowe, Lady Winters has approved your permanent appointment.
00:10:49This is the key to your carriage.
00:10:52The coachman Marcus will be at your disposal whenever you need to leave the estate.
00:10:55I was no longer the woman standing by the roadside with nothing but an old wooden trunk.
00:11:06Miss Lowe, a message has arrived from Nieves Castle.
00:11:20Estella, tomorrow at three o'clock, we will sign the final annulment documents.
00:11:29It's over.
00:11:31Truly over.
00:11:33It's so late and Estella still hasn't shown up.
00:11:36She's probably still scrubbing floors at Winter's Castle.
00:11:41She dares to work as a servant.
00:11:43She's humiliated me completely.
00:11:46After all, she can't do anything.
00:11:48What else could she possibly be?
00:11:50A family as great as the Winters would never hire a clumsy servant.
00:11:54She'll probably be thrown out after a day of trial.
00:11:57She should realize by now that without me, she's nothing.
00:12:04That's the Winters family's carriage.
00:12:19How dare a low-blown wretch like you steal the Winters family's carriage?
00:12:27Get over here right now!
00:12:31How dare you show such disrespect to a steward of the Winter Wins family?
00:12:43A useless housewife like you, a steward of the Winters family?
00:12:46Impossible!
00:12:47You're putting on an act!
00:12:49You rented that carriage and that gown, didn't you?
00:12:52This is the Winters family, Krayme.
00:12:56Estella, even if you did become a steward, you're still just a la dog for the Winters family.
00:13:06How dare you!
00:13:07Who do you think you are?
00:13:08Just a loser who got thrown out?
00:13:16That one is for our father's painting.
00:13:19Now let me in to sign the papers.
00:13:21And then both of you never appear before me again.
00:13:27This is the proposed annulment agreement.
00:13:29According to the pre-Nobial contract you signed, you will leave with nothing.
00:13:35A Winters family steward?
00:13:37So what?
00:13:38A penniless wretch?
00:13:39The Nessas and low fortunes will all be mine.
00:13:42You won't get a single coin.
00:13:47I will not sign this.
00:13:49What did you say?
00:13:52I will not sign this.
00:13:54I will not leave with nothing.
00:13:57You have no choice.
00:14:03This is a copy of the betrothal contract between the Lowe family and the Ness family.
00:14:08And this, a love letter from Conrad to Janna.
00:14:12If the betrothal is broken due to adultery, the compensation is...
00:14:16Enough to ruin the Ness family completely.
00:14:20Are you threatening me?
00:14:22I am negotiating.
00:14:25What do you want?
00:14:27I want my rightful half of the property.
00:14:29Over my dead body! That's all mine!
00:14:32Then we'll settle this in court.
00:14:39I agree.
00:14:41Conrad redrew the property division agreement,
00:14:43assigning me some abandoned lands and dilapidated useless manners.
00:14:47I didn't argue.
00:14:49At least now, I had property that was truly mine.
00:14:53One more thing.
00:14:54Before you leave, go to my wardrobe and organize my shirts.
00:14:58I'm afraid you've misunderstood my new position, Sir Nevis.
00:15:02What?
00:15:03My services are now the exclusive asset of the Winters family.
00:15:07If you wish to request private service,
00:15:10you would need to submit a formal inquiry to my employer.
00:15:13As for the fee,
00:15:15I doubt it's something you could afford.
00:15:18You...
00:15:22She's different.
00:15:25That wasn't the woman I married.
00:15:28You're thinking about her.
00:15:30I'm not.
00:15:32You only married her because I was going to the capital.
00:15:36Do you regret to let her go now?
00:15:44Next month is the Winters family's annual charity feast.
00:15:47We've received an invitation.
00:15:49So?
00:15:51Estella will be there.
00:15:52As a servant.
00:15:55Ashley Fletcher owes me a favor.
00:15:58Her mother has a sapphire necklace worth 5,000 gold points.
00:16:03Her husband desperately needs the Niaz family's investment.
00:16:07What are you planning?
00:16:10What are you planning?
00:16:18That's Venus.
00:16:20The Romans called it the Morning Star.
00:16:22Some say it's the Goddess of Love.
00:16:27I didn't like talking either.
00:16:28I felt like no one listened anyway.
00:16:31But if you don't speak,
00:16:33no one knows what you're thinking.
00:16:35That star you see.
00:16:38If I never told you,
00:16:39you wouldn't know what it was.
00:16:42It was the first time he had pointed something out to me.
00:16:45More precious than words.
00:16:51This year's charity feast is yours to oversee.
00:16:53It's in three days.
00:16:55We've invited 400 guests and a full orchestra.
00:16:58You have full authority.
00:17:02I won't let you down.
00:17:03Also, Miss Lode.
00:17:05Sir Conrad Neelis
00:17:07for a scheduled meeting with Lord Winters.
00:17:10I see.
00:17:17Well, well.
00:17:19Look who it is.
00:17:20Just a servant.
00:17:22Not worth paying attention to.
00:17:24I'll take all of these.
00:17:26My lady,
00:17:27that will be 200 gold coins.
00:17:35Estella, stop.
00:17:38Captain Kowalski,
00:17:40this has nothing to do with you.
00:17:41Let go!
00:17:43Sir Nez,
00:17:45Miss Lode is now
00:17:46under the Winters family's protection.
00:17:49No one touches her.
00:17:52Let's go.
00:17:53It's not worth it.
00:18:18Miss Lode,
00:18:19there's an issue in the kitchen.
00:18:20they're asking for you.
00:18:39My necklace!
00:18:41You ripped it off!
00:18:48Estella,
00:18:49what have you done?
00:18:50I know you hate me and my friends
00:18:52because of the divorce,
00:18:53but this is outrageous!
00:18:58It's worth 50,000 gold coins.
00:19:02It's my mother's heirloom.
00:19:05She ripped it off!
00:19:08You all saw it!
00:19:10I saw her bump into it, Ashley.
00:19:12She was the Nia's wife,
00:19:13wasn't she?
00:19:14The one who got thrown out.
00:19:21I did not touch her necklace.
00:19:25Of course you wouldn't admit it.
00:19:27She didn't do it!
00:19:29You're liars!
00:19:38This child.
00:19:39Everyone knows he's not right in the head.
00:19:42He can barely speak.
00:19:46I saw it!
00:19:47She bumped into Estella on purpose.
00:19:50She undid the necklace herself.
00:19:54This child has been ill for half a year.
00:19:57How can his words count?
00:20:04He has been ill,
00:20:08but he is not lying.
00:20:10You say he is not in his right mind,
00:20:13but can you deny his words?
00:20:15He doesn't need to lie.
00:20:17My man can also testify.
00:20:23This guard was on sentry duty
00:20:24in the corridor tonight.
00:20:26He saw everything.
00:20:28Lady Fletcher walked over with her wine glass.
00:20:31She deliberately collided with Miss Lowe.
00:20:34She undid the necklace with her own hand.
00:20:39She made me do it.
00:20:40It was Jonna.
00:20:42Jonna told me to do it.
00:20:44She said Estella would ruin everything.
00:20:48She said she had to get rid of her.
00:20:50She said if I helped,
00:20:52the Niezes family would invest in my husband.
00:20:58Take her away.
00:21:00Notify the royal court.
00:21:02Ah!
00:21:06After six months,
00:21:08his first words were not for himself.
00:21:11They were for me.
00:21:17Miss Lowe.
00:21:19Lord Wintons is waiting for you in his study.
00:21:22Now.
00:21:27Tonight, you proved you were set up,
00:21:29but you brought your personal war
00:21:31into my household
00:21:32and exposed my family to public scrutiny.
00:21:34My nephew was forced to become a witness.
00:21:39No personal disputes cross this threshold.
00:21:42No servant carries baggage
00:21:43that can be used against them.
00:21:44Julian is never to be exposed to conflict.
00:21:47You have broken all my rules.
00:21:52This is a non-disclosure agreement
00:21:54and a termination of contract.
00:21:55You will receive double compensation.
00:21:56You must leave by morning.
00:22:02I understand.
00:22:17I should leave a letter for Julian
00:22:18and tell him it wasn't his fault.
00:22:30Where do you think you can run?
00:22:31The Wintons family doesn't want you.
00:22:33Soon you'll crawl back to me.
00:23:07He would sleep well tonight.
00:23:09Even if I'm gone,
00:23:11at least tonight,
00:23:12he would sleep well.
00:23:16He would sleep well.
00:23:44I knew I should leave,
00:23:46but I knew that sound.
00:23:49My father had breathed like that
00:23:51before the end.
00:23:52I couldn't ignore a sound like that.
00:24:00You are safe.
00:24:01You are in your own room.
00:24:03You are in Winter's Castle.
00:24:06Look at me.
00:24:07Breathe with me.
00:24:08Breathe with me.
00:24:10In.
00:24:12Two, three, four.
00:24:14Out.
00:24:16Two, three, four, five, six.
00:24:29Open your mouth.
00:24:30Then drink.
00:24:32Two, three, four, five, six.
00:24:35Let's go.
00:24:35Oh, my God.
00:25:10You're leaving.
00:25:14Don't go! Please don't go!
00:25:18I'll eat the eggs. I'll eat anything.
00:25:22Just don't leave me.
00:25:23I'll eat the eggs.
00:25:31Julian, I didn't.
00:25:45Alistair, take the trunk back to her suite.
00:25:48The contract still stands.
00:25:51Can she stay?
00:25:54Come on. I'll take you to the kitchen.
00:26:04Lavender honey and dark chocolate. It helps you sleep.
00:26:14Uncle Ivor is scary.
00:26:17He is.
00:26:20But he's not bad.
00:26:21He just doesn't know how not to be scary.
00:26:24And you?
00:26:27When you're here, I don't feel as scared.
00:26:39You're the new housekeeper.
00:26:41I heard you spend all day fondling my brother's shirts.
00:26:45I'm identifying the fabrics.
00:26:47Different materials require different washing methods.
00:26:51Identifying fabric.
00:26:53Do I look like a fool?
00:26:59Pick it up.
00:27:00Now.
00:27:02I am a Winters.
00:27:05What I say is an order.
00:27:13Remember, you're just a servant.
00:27:17The eldest daughter of the Winters family.
00:27:20Back for the first day and she already targeted me.
00:27:23It wouldn't be the last time.
00:27:31Stand in the corner.
00:27:32I'll call you when I need you.
00:27:42Miss, can I help you with anything?
00:27:44She's not a customer.
00:27:46She's just carrying my things.
00:27:47Don't waste your time.
00:27:53Go stand outside.
00:27:54Your presence here makes it look like the Winters family has no standards for their servants.
00:27:58And hold the cloak properly.
00:28:00If it wrinkles, I'm detracting it from your wages.
00:28:14Well, well.
00:28:15Lydia, shopping?
00:28:17I heard the Wintons family is running short of coin these days.
00:28:21Tiffany Chandler.
00:28:23What are you doing here?
00:28:25To shop.
00:28:26Unlike some people who want to buy things they can't afford.
00:28:37Is that the royal custom piece?
00:28:41Commissioned from the Capital Workshop.
00:28:43Only royalty and true high nobility can get one.
00:28:46You.
00:28:49I imagine don't qualify.
00:28:52I suppose you'll have to settle for common goods.
00:28:55After all, you can't even scrape together 3,000 gold points, can you?
00:29:07This purse needs maintenance.
00:29:10Your workshop must have someone who can handle rare leather, do you?
00:29:14Of course, Lady Chandler.
00:29:16We'll send it to the Capital Workshop personally.
00:29:25What are you doing here?
00:29:27This is the private chamber.
00:29:29Miss Estella, get out!
00:29:31Are you insane?
00:29:36Sir, please place the purse on the table.
00:29:38Let me have a look.
00:29:41Look?
00:29:41You want to touch it?
00:29:43Can you even afford it?
00:30:03First problem.
00:30:04This purse is said to be five years old.
00:30:07But this clasp design only appeared this year.
00:30:12The timeline doesn't match.
00:30:18Second, the older model had double cross stitching on the edge with tighter spacing.
00:30:25This is single thread straight stitching.
00:30:39Third, and the most obvious, the dye on the crocodile skin.
00:30:44The genuine piece is soaked through.
00:30:47This one has cracks at the white edge, hidden in the scales.
00:30:56You're lying.
00:31:02Do you have a magnifying glass?
00:31:04Please bring one.
00:31:17My lady, this purse is a counterfeit.
00:31:22What did you say?
00:31:26You're all in on this.
00:31:28A servant like her.
00:31:29How could she know anything?
00:31:37Who are you, exactly?
00:31:41Who are you, exactly?
00:31:45We'll talk in the carriage.
00:31:58How did you know that purse was fake?
00:32:01The stitching, the clasp, the dye.
00:32:04You're not a housekeeper.
00:32:06Who are you, exactly?
00:32:08Who are you, exactly?
00:32:09Who are you, exactly?
00:32:10I'm just Conrad Niaz's ex-wife.
00:32:14A housewife.
00:32:15A housewife?
00:32:17A housewife can spot a 500 gold point fake at a glance?
00:32:26That idiot Conrad.
00:32:28He had no idea what he lost.
00:32:32Where did you learn all that?
00:32:34During ten years of marriage, my ex's family had a lot of rare leather goods and jewels.
00:32:40I watched, and I learned.
00:32:43Why didn't you say anything before?
00:32:44You never asked.
00:32:49I have a friend.
00:32:51Cicely Fry.
00:32:53She's hosting a feast next week, but her steward quit suddenly.
00:33:00She needs help.
00:33:02Would you be her help?
00:33:04Not for long.
00:33:06Just one night.
00:33:09Your mother.
00:33:11I'll speak to her.
00:33:13You help my friend, and I own one.
00:33:16My pleasure, miss.
00:33:21Lydia's attitude had changed.
00:33:24Not that she liked me.
00:33:26But she started to see me as someone useful.
00:33:38I put what you wanted on the table.
00:33:41Lord Winters' herbal remedy.
00:33:43He takes it every day.
00:33:45Since you're heading upstairs anyway, bring it to him.
00:33:50What is this?
00:33:56Just something to calm his nerves.
00:33:59The same as always.
00:34:09Bring it up.
00:34:11I'm busy here.
00:34:26Lord Winton's, your herbal remedy.
00:34:39Lord Winton's, your herbal remedy.
00:34:41She said it was what you take every day.
00:34:48I claimed this medicine is only accessible for myself and my personal physician.
00:34:54From now on, no one is allowed to touch anything in this room.
00:35:05Get out.
00:35:16Patty, Lord Winton's is asking for you.
00:35:19What for?
00:35:21Miss Lowe will tell you.
00:35:25You wrote this, didn't you?
00:35:28This afternoon, give the bottle to Estella.
00:35:30Have her deliver it.
00:35:33How do you have this?
00:35:35This was my note to remind myself.
00:35:38Exactly.
00:35:39It was your reminder to yourself.
00:35:41So you admit it was you who told me to deliver the bottle to Lord Winters.
00:35:45Patty, from today onward, you're demoted to Kitchen Hand with half your wages.
00:35:51If you offend again, you'll be thrown out of the castle directly.
00:35:57Next time someone tries to frame me, this is what happens.
00:36:11Estella, your grandfather Theodore has suffered a heart attack.
00:36:14He is at St. Luke's Infirmary.
00:36:16He needs 800 gold pieces for the surgery.
00:36:18I can't raise the money.
00:36:19You're the only one who can help him.
00:36:22Grandfather, he's always been so good to me since I was little.
00:36:25I can't just stand by and do nothing.
00:36:34Miss Lowe, you're going out?
00:36:37To St. Luke's Infirmary.
00:36:53Miss, what do you need?
00:36:57I'm looking for a patient.
00:36:59Theodore Lowe.
00:37:07No admission record for that name.
00:37:09No admission record for that name.
00:37:11Miss, what do you need?
00:37:15I'm gonna talk53m.
00:37:18Miss, and then he comes from곳.
00:37:18Miss, and then he hasiah, my uncle.
00:37:20Miss moon雪, she's close.
00:37:24Miss, and I'm not sure if you're voulais for that name.
00:37:25Miss.
00:37:25Miss, Missieren, her sister!
00:37:26Miss moon雪.
00:37:26Miss.
00:37:26Miss soon sign on�� 팀로.
00:37:27Miss.
00:37:27Miss, Miss Chapman.
00:37:29Miss.
00:37:30Miss, mam Graajajajajajajajajaja.
00:37:40But Grandfather, it's me, Estella.
00:37:50Mind lost, no longer recognizes me.
00:38:01She must be on her way.
00:38:03Mum, are you sure the letter got delivered?
00:38:05She's here. I saw her carriage.
00:38:08Once she's inside, lock the door.
00:38:10We'll tie her up and wait for the Winters family to pay.
00:38:22They stooped to such despicable tricks.
00:38:38Sir Neves, release Miss Lowe.
00:38:41Get out of this!
00:38:43This is none of your business!
00:38:45Miss Lowe is under Winters family protection.
00:38:48She is within my watch.
00:38:50No one touches her.
00:38:55Winters.
00:38:58I won't forget this.
00:39:02Get in.
00:39:04Now.
00:39:17He thinks you're weak.
00:39:20Did I say it wrong?
00:39:22He caught you.
00:39:24And you ran.
00:39:26Sir, Neves' carriage is coming up behind us.
00:39:31He's catching up.
00:39:34What are you going to do?
00:39:39Estella!
00:39:40You're not getting away!
00:39:43Estella.
00:39:57Lord Wintons, I am not weak.
00:39:59And I will prove it to you.
00:40:03A northern trade consortium is planning to build a large workshop near Willow Creek.
00:40:09Conrad knows about it.
00:40:11That's why he's desperate to get the land back.
00:40:15That dilapidated state fell into my hands when Conrad and I dissolved our union.
00:40:21But the consortium's plans have been cancelled.
00:40:23The supply chain is broken.
00:40:25They can't get enough materials.
00:40:29Conrad doesn't know that.
00:40:31He thinks the land is valuable.
00:40:34Yes.
00:40:35And you wouldn't believe how much he's willing to spend.
00:40:38How much?
00:40:40He's already raised 4,000 gold pieces.
00:40:46He wants to spend 4,000 gold pieces on that land.
00:40:49He thinks it's an investment.
00:40:51But it's just a swamp.
00:40:53Yes.
00:40:54A worthless swamp.
00:40:55In your hands.
00:40:57And he's willing to ruin himself for it.
00:41:02You want him to buy it?
00:41:07Yes.
00:41:08I want to watch Conrad spend 4,000 gold pieces on Willow Creek.
00:41:13And then find out it's a ruin.
00:41:17Why?
00:41:18For me?
00:41:20Partly yes, partly no.
00:41:22You are now part of the Winter's family.
00:41:25But he's come after you multiple times.
00:41:27That's a challenge to my authority.
00:41:33I'll make him pay.
00:41:35I'll tell him myself and let him hand over the gold to me in person.
00:41:41Why would he believe you?
00:41:43I'll let the rumors reach him first.
00:41:46Let him believe the Northern Consortium's plan is real.
00:41:49Then I'll appear.
00:41:51He'll believe anyone who can get him that land.
00:41:55Good.
00:41:56Whatever you need, just say the word.
00:42:004,000 gold pieces.
00:42:01That was the perfect price for a worthless swamp.
00:42:06Miss Lowe, a reply for you.
00:42:204,000 gold pieces.
00:42:22You're mad.
00:42:23The land isn't worth that.
00:42:39Send it back.
00:42:51Tell her.
00:42:53I want to meet in person.
00:43:06Sign.
00:43:08Then take your money and leave.
00:43:11I want to meet in person.
00:43:47Goodbye.
00:43:53Gold dagger
00:43:54You bled Conrad dry and now you're running with the coin
00:44:01I only took what I deserve
00:44:25He started vomiting and running a fever at noon
00:44:27He's been calling your name
00:44:29It was spoiled food
00:44:31This morning I saw Lady Lowe carrying a basket of moldy greens into the cold cellar
00:44:36She said she was making a special salad
00:44:42I saw it too
00:44:43Miss Lowe carried that basket in, we thought it was strange at the time
00:44:48What did you say?
00:44:50I didn't set foot in the cold cellar this morning
00:44:56Of course you wouldn't admit it
00:44:59You personally saw me carrying greens in?
00:45:08Miss Lowe, Lord Winters is asking for you
00:45:13Stella
00:45:20I know it wasn't you
00:45:25You have until tonight
00:45:27Find out who did it
00:45:29Otherwise I can no longer trust you to protect what is mine
00:45:33No one will protect him better than me
00:45:44Lord Winters has ordered the kitchen sealed immediately
00:45:47Everyone stays where they are
00:45:49No one leaves
00:45:50Sealed?
00:45:52Why?
00:45:55Because of you, Patty
00:45:57You claim you saw Miss Lowe take moldy greens into the cellar
00:46:02I did see it
00:46:04Everyone heard me
00:46:07Good
00:46:07Since you saw it, tell me
00:46:10What kind of basket did I carry?
00:46:12What color?
00:46:13What kind of greens?
00:46:14It was
00:46:16A wicker basket
00:46:17The greens were
00:46:19Lettuce
00:46:21Gus, what does the cellar inventory record say for this morning?
00:46:24Oats, dried beans, salted meat
00:46:26No lettuce
00:46:30You said you saw me carry lettuce into the cellar
00:46:34But there was no lettuce in the cellar this morning
00:46:37I might have been mistaken
00:46:40You might have been mistaken
00:46:42But just now, in front of everyone, you accused me of poisoning Julian
00:46:49Patty, come with us
00:46:51Lord Winters wants to question you personally
00:47:02Patty, how many years have you worked in this castle?
00:47:07Eleven years, Lord Winters
00:47:09Eleven years
00:47:10And then you poisoned a child's food to get rid of someone who's been here less than two months
00:47:16I didn't mean to poison him
00:47:19I just wanted her to take the blame
00:47:22I thought those greens would just give him a few days of stomach ache
00:47:31So you admit it
00:47:32You tampered with the greens
00:47:33After she came, everything changed
00:47:36She told me what to do
00:47:38She made everyone listen to her
00:47:40I worked in this kitchen for eleven years
00:47:42Why should she come and be a...
00:47:44So you poisoned a child
00:47:47Take her to the castle dungeon
00:47:48Hand her over to the royal court at dawn
00:47:54What will happen to her?
00:47:56Poisoning a noble child, the minimum punishment is exile
00:47:59With luck, she'll spend the rest of her life in the mines
00:48:15Patty isn't coming back, is she?
00:48:19No
00:48:25She used to be nice to me
00:48:27I don't know why she did that
00:48:35Feeling better, little one?
00:48:37Much better
00:48:38Your friend Chloe is arriving tomorrow
00:48:41I've arranged a carriage to take you both to the Hotspring Estate for a few days
00:48:45You need a break
00:48:46No refusing, it's an order
00:48:48Julian will be with me
00:48:51Go, I'm fine now
00:48:58Fine
00:48:58Two days
00:49:01You really need to get out more
00:49:03Look at you
00:49:04Finally relaxed
00:49:06It's been a long time since I...
00:49:19Oh, isn't this my dear sister?
00:49:22You come to places like this
00:49:24I thought you were only fit for a kitchen as a servant
00:49:30Jonna, enough
00:49:31What?
00:49:32Can't I speak now that your ex-wife is here?
00:49:43Stay still
00:49:44Let her talk
00:49:56Estella, I'm so happy for you
00:49:58You went from being our family's servant
00:50:01To someone else's
00:50:06This one's for you
00:50:08The Winters family's most loyal lackey
00:50:18Jonna Lowe, are you looking for trouble?
00:50:24Who are you?
00:50:25I'm Lydia Winters
00:50:28This Hotspring Estate belongs to my family
00:50:43Someone
00:50:44Medical team
00:50:45Now
00:50:47You're finished, Jonna
00:50:50You just dug your own grave
00:51:04What happened?
00:51:06Jonna, what did you do?
00:51:09It was her!
00:51:10She provoked me first!
00:51:13Shut up!
00:51:14I saw you throw the glass with my own eyes
00:51:17You're insane
00:51:20Conrad
00:51:21I have nothing to do with her
00:51:22She's been extremely unstable lately
00:51:26What did you say?
00:51:29You heard me
00:51:30I have nothing to do with you
00:51:35Lady Winters
00:51:36Shall we take her?
00:51:38Take her
00:51:40Hand her over to the nearest magistrate
00:51:57Are you insane?
00:51:58Why did you block it for me?
00:52:02You were standing right next to me
00:52:05I'm her real target
00:52:09Let's get that arm bandage first
00:52:18Northern Trade Consorti
00:52:20Cancelled workshop construction plans
00:52:23Supply chain broken
00:52:25Project indefinitely suspended
00:52:31The news has spread all over the capital
00:52:33Everyone's talking about it
00:52:36Conrad must have heard by now
00:52:44Of course
00:52:45He was trying to borrow money this morning
00:52:47No one would lend to him
00:52:484,000 gold pieces sunk into that swamp
00:52:51He has nothing left now
00:52:55He deserves it
00:53:10Miss Lowe
00:53:11Miss Lowe
00:53:11I was told to deliver this to you personally
00:53:18Estella, I'm begging you
00:53:20I know I was wrong
00:53:22Please speak to the Wintz family
00:53:24Get them to help me
00:53:26I'll give you anything
00:53:27Double
00:53:28No
00:53:29Ten times
00:53:30Ten thousand gold pieces
00:53:33Just name your price
00:53:45Go back and tell him
00:53:47I have nothing more to say to him
00:53:50This wasn't the Wintz family getting revenge
00:53:53This was his own greed
00:53:55His own arrogance
00:53:56His own stupidity
00:53:57Finally coming due
00:54:11Estella?
00:54:12This is Cecily Frye
00:54:14I mentioned her before
00:54:21Miss Lowe
00:54:22I heard from Lydia
00:54:24That you're very good
00:54:25At organising feasts
00:54:28My
00:54:30My father is hosting
00:54:32A dinner party next month
00:54:34The original steward
00:54:35Left suddenly
00:54:36And I have no idea
00:54:38Where to start
00:54:44How large is the dinner party?
00:54:48About 80 guests
00:54:52Ingredients
00:54:53Tableware
00:54:54Servants
00:54:54Seating
00:54:55Do you have full authority
00:54:57Over all of it?
00:54:59Yes
00:54:59All of it
00:55:05Good
00:55:07Then we start
00:55:08With the guest list
00:55:51Who is that?
00:55:53Preston's new mistress
00:55:56He brought his mistress
00:55:57To his wife's own feast
00:56:05Father
00:56:06I brought you lunch
00:56:19Who told you to come in?
00:56:30Father
00:56:48Your daughter has been struck
00:56:49In the study
00:57:00You hit her
00:57:02She barged in
00:57:05She should have knocked
00:57:13What is that?
00:57:17I am Honoria Vance
00:57:19Chair of the Vance
00:57:20Medical Foundation
00:57:23I just received word
00:57:25Candice
00:57:26You are not a distant relation
00:57:27Of the Vance family
00:57:28You lied to me
00:57:31Damien
00:57:32I can explain
00:57:33Divorce papers
00:57:33Will be sent
00:57:34To your quarters
00:57:37My lawyers
00:57:38Will contact you
00:57:39Tomorrow
00:57:44Three families
00:57:46Shattered
00:57:47But Honoti's
00:57:48New life began
00:57:50Crest in hand
00:57:51Daughter
00:57:52At her side
00:57:54And Conrad and Janna
00:57:56Had already destroyed themselves
00:58:01The Vance family owes you
00:58:03A great debt
00:58:03Lord Winters
00:58:05I owe you two lives
00:58:07Mine and my daughters
00:58:09You owe me nothing
00:58:13But I want to repay you
00:58:15The Vance family has a secret research program
00:58:19At the Royal Sophia College of Medicine
00:58:21Focused on rehabilitation
00:58:22For central nerve damage
00:58:25Currently there are only three clinical trial slots
00:58:32My uncle Frederick Vance leads this research
00:58:36The treatment must be conducted at the college
00:58:39Entirely secluded
00:58:41For six months
00:58:42What is the success rate?
00:58:46Not a complete cure
00:58:49But all three subjects regained the ability to walk
00:58:53One of them
00:58:54No longer needs a cane
00:58:56You want to give me a slot?
00:58:57Not because I want to
00:58:58Because the Vance family owes it
00:59:06If you wish
00:59:07Estella can accompany you
00:59:09She would oversee your living arrangements
00:59:10And recovery management there
00:59:13Will you go?
00:59:16Let me know once you've decided
00:59:18The slot will be held for you for three months
00:59:23Julian needs me
00:59:26Julian needs you to live long and healthy
00:59:28Not to watch you fade away in that chair
00:59:35What if I don't make it through?
00:59:37Then I'll take care of Julian
00:59:39You know I will
00:59:40Will you come with me?
00:59:43Yes
00:59:52Tell them I accept
00:59:54Six months
00:59:56Sophia College
00:59:57A chance
