Original subtitles

If I catch you coming home after eight again, I'll break both your legs.

If you are going to pass yourself off as Clara, you'll follow the Beaumont family

rules. Your virginity matters more than your life.

If it weren't for Ethan, I wouldn't put up with this crap.

Dad! Mom!

Ethan!

Run.

They won't let us live.

You have to assume a new identity.

Even if we're gone, you have to survive.

Who are they?

Ethan?

Somebody help!

Help us!

You look exactly like Clara.

From now on, you are Clara Beaumont.

Take my daughter's place and marry into the Ashford family.

I'll save your brother in return.

All right.

You're getting engaged to Julian tomorrow night.

It's time to give your husband your virginity.

The doctor will examine you the next morning.

If you're still a virgin, your brother will end up in the morgue.

Yes, Mother.

If I'm going to pass myself off as Clara, I have to live out her fate and

sleep with Julian.

Victoria?

Your Grace, what are you doing here?

I came to see Julian.

I didn't expect this.

Sorry, I didn't realize kissing strangers was your way of welcoming

guests, my dear niece-to-be.

You!

Stay calm.

She's the duchess everyone fears.

They say she killed her own pet rabbit when she was six.

At ten, she laughed at her mother's funeral, saying her mother deserved to

die.

At 15, she shot her older brother and left him permanently disabled.

Stay calm.

I can't afford to offend her.

Your Grace, I drank too much. Please forget what just happened. I'll go find

Julian and tell him you're here.

He doesn't want anyone interrupting him right now.

What do you mean?

Come upstairs and see for yourself, my dear niece-to-be.

I'm sorry.

I know you're getting engaged tonight, but I couldn't stay away from you.

Once that Beaumont fool gives birth to an heir, no one will stand in our way.

Heartbroken?

Why would I care about that cheating bastard?

It's just... The doctor will examine you the next morning.

If you're still a virgin, your brother will end up in the morgue.

Your Grace, would you spend the night with me?

Are you trying to use me to get even with Julian?

I've heard you enjoy breaking the rules, Your Grace.

Then you must have heard what happens to anyone who crosses me. I'm not afraid of

you. Your Grace, please help me tonight.

Not here.

You don't get to choose.

Pay attention, or I'll invite your fiancé over and let him see whose

carriage you're in.

Where are you going?

Back to Julian's.

You're still going back to him?

Mother says a woman shouldn't be jealous.

As long as Julian comes home to me, I'm still his fiancé.

How noble of you.

If he sleeps with another woman right in front of you, will you applaud?

Thank you for tonight. Goodbye, Your Grace.

Don't forget the gift I left you.

What gift?

A lighter.

I left it on someone else's lighter in his house. If I remember correctly,

Julian doesn't smoke.

What do you mean?

How do you think Julian will react when he finds someone else's lighter in his

house? You're welcome, darling. Happy engagement night.

You bitch!

You brought another man into my house?

Whose lighter is this?

The Beaumonts have strict rules.

I wouldn't dare betray my fiancé.

Besides, I was only here for our engagement night.

Maybe one of your friends left it behind.

Really?

Of course.

It seems I've come at a bad time.

Aunt Victoria.

She's not going to tell them what happened, is she?

I hear you've been using my name to cause trouble.

You have one day to fix it.

Unless you want to end up in a wheelchair like your father.

Yes. I'll handle it right away.

Lydia, what are you doing here?

She's my cousin. She can come here whenever she wants.

It's none of your business.

Now get out. I'm sick of the sight of you.

Fine.

Want me to find out who owns that lighter?

Yes. I did what Beatrice asked.

Only to end up in even bigger trouble with the Duchess.

Stop. Turn around.

Your Grace, next time you see me, could you pretend you don't know me?

So you use me and then run off.

What else am I supposed to do?

Am I supposed to take responsibility for you now?

I quite enjoyed our time together.

Move into my estate and become my lover.

I'm Julian's fiancé.

If the Baymonts find out, they'll beat me to death.

So what?

You're the one who made the first move, my dear niece-to-be.

I'll take responsibility for my own actions.

Your Grace, I'll go with you tonight, but I have to return home tomorrow.

I promise you'll enjoy yourself.

Is that enough?

You're getting bolder by the day. How dare you stay out all night?

Since it was your engagement night, I'll let it slide this time.

Do it again, and you'll never see your brother again.

I won't do it again.

Stay on your knees for the next six hours.

The Ashfords are hosting a family dinner tomorrow.

Once your punishment is over, go get ready.

Yes, Mother.

Once I get Ethan out, you'll be the first ones I take down.

Victoria's not coming again?

Father, you know how she is.

I've heard she's at odds with her own family. She never comes to family

dinners, so she probably won't show up today either.

Well, hello, my dear niece-to-be.

What is she doing?

You two know each other?

More than that, actually.

Clara, we saw each other on your engagement night, didn't we?

That night?

Oh, now I remember.

Your Grace came by that night, on our engagement night.

Is that so?

That's right.

You never come to family dinners.

What brings you here today?

Is it the East Harbor deal?

It's too big for you to handle.

Father, you know I've always had a healthy appetite.

By the way, I dealt with the lackey who was spying on me today.

Care to guess who sent him, William?

Are you accusing me?

Stop pretending you're all so respectable.

You know exactly what kind of dirty business you've been involved in.

It's pathetic.

Unlike my sweet Clara.

What is she up to now?

So sweet and obedient.

Just like my pet rabbit when I was six.

Every time I come here, I have to watch you all pretend to be respectable.

I can't stand it.

I'm going to the restroom.

Enjoy your meal.

Eat up, William.

Must be hard getting around in that wheelchair.

Victoria, you crippled me and took out my informant.

Tonight, you're dead.

What did you mean by that, Your Grace?

I was just messing with you.

You didn't think I'd let you off that easily, did you? From now on, you'll

live in fear that your secret could come out at any moment until I get tired of

this game.

You're shameless!

You've heard I strangled my pet rabbit haven't you it lasted about five seconds

tell me little rabbit. How long do you think you'll last?

Even without us you have to survive Ethan

when are you going to wake up?

I don't know how much longer I can hold on

The Duchess and the young gentleman will be staying here tonight.

Mr Ashford had a room prepared for you. Get some rest.

Thank you.

Your Grace!

Don't scream, or I'll shoot you dead.

Where is she? I saw her come this way.

Damn it!

Keep searching!

She can't have gone far!

Come help me up.

One scream and she'll die here. Then no one will ever know what happened that

night. So you want me dead too?

Let me tell you something.

Even if I die tonight, I still won't let you...

You're

badly hurt and you're still running your mouth.

The bullet only grazed you. If it hadn't, I wouldn't be able to do much.

After everything I did to scare you, you're still not afraid of me?

I am.

I'm terrified.

But I've watched someone die in front of me before.

And I don't want to see it again. Who died in front of you?

Clara.

What secret are you hiding?

Does it hurt?

It's just a scratch. Of course it doesn't hurt.

Ow!

Why are you yelling?

I'm doing it for the stubborn woman who refuses to admit she's hurting.

Mom, please stop!

I have no daughter as badly behaved as you.

hurts so much.

Never admit you're hurting. A soft heart will be your downfall. Only ambition can

take you to the top.

I owe you a favor.

Tell me what you want.

The Duchess has enormous influence.

Maybe she could help me save Ethan.

No. She's too unpredictable.

I can't risk revealing my secret to her.

Your Grace, all I ask is that you pretend our engagement night never

happened. From now on, there'll be nothing between us. I see.

I'm a mad dog everyone despises.

A respectable Baymont woman like you should stay as far away from me as

possible. That's not... Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

Remember this, Clara. If you ever cross me again, I won't show you any mercy.

Don't worry.

There won't be a next time.

Who did Victoria give the East Harbour deal to?

Julian, go to her estate and get the sealed bid for the East Harbour deal.

What? She'll cripple me!

Think of it as a chance to prove yourself, Julian.

I'll make a call.

Clara?

Julian, what do you want?

Go to Victoria's estate and steal the sealed bid for the East Harbour deal.

What? But I just promised her I wouldn't approach her again.

I can't do it. If you don't, I'll tell Mrs. Beemore you spent your engagement

night with another man.

For Ethan, I have to take the risk.

I thought we agreed to stay out of each other's lives.

Why are you here?

I want the sealed bid for the East Harbour deal.

Julian sent you, and you have the nerve to ask me for it outright.

Become my lover, and it's yours.

I can't leave Julian.

How devoted.

Maybe I should let him in on a little secret.

Don't call him! Don't tell him!

Julian, that lighter was mine. Your fiancé spent the entire night under me.

You really told him?

You really told him? Do you think Julian will tell Mrs. Beemore?

And if she finds out, do you think she'll still tolerate the woman who

dragged the Beemort name through the mud?

You're insane!

Let me go!

You should know by now that once this mad dog bites down,

she never lets go.

But Clara, from now on, this mad dog is the only thing keeping you alive.

You'll never escape me.

I was wrong.

I never should have provoked you.

Look at you.

So pathetic and adorable.

How do you think Julian would react if he'd heard everything you just said?

What did you say?

You didn't call him?

Let this be a lesson.

Next time, I won't let you off so easily.

Still don't want to cooperate?

Fine.

I can always call him for real.

No.

I'll be your lover.

I'll do whatever you say.

Good girl.

Now you can go back and report to your fiancé.

Don't even think about running, and don't let Julian touch you.

You could run to the ends of the earth, and I'd still turn the world upside down

to find you and drag you back.

Your Grace, I won't run.

You look worse smiling than you do crying.

Thank you, Your Grace. I'll be going now.

Tomorrow at three.

Don't be late.

Yes, Your Grace.

Victoria's capable of anything.

I walked right into her trap, and now I'm stuck.

Your Grace.

Did she get home safely?

Yes.

You had her escorted home and now you're checking to make sure she's safe.

Don't tell me you've fallen for her.

Love?

Love is fucking useless.

It only gets people killed.

I want her like I want a gun or a dress.

She's mine, so of course I need to know she's safe.

Of course.

A woman like the Duchess could never love anyone.

The Duchess is impossible to deal with.

How did you get your hands on this?

I stole it when she wasn't looking.

I've heard the Duchess prefers women.

Did you sleep with her to get this?

What?

If Ethan weren't in the Beemont's hands, I'd make those two cheating bastards

pay.

Julian, I went through hell to get this for you.

You don't have to thank me, but how can you still suspect me?

Enough. You're getting on my nerves.

Fine.

I'll leave you two alone.

Keep an eye on Clara and the Duchess.

Think they're having an affair get pictures to prove it

Clara

sooner or later. I'll get you kicked out of the Ashford family

I'm

sorry. I haven't visited you lately

I promised I'd always come here with a smile, but I'm so tired.

Ethan, please wake up.

When you do, we'll go home.

I can't keep pretending to be Clara anymore.

Iris?

Ethan! You're awake!

Ethan, let me take you home.

I don't want to stay in the capital anymore. I want to go back north.

Iris, you can't go back north.

Why?

Father was framed, wasn't he?

He was an honourable man.

He taught Miss Crawford music for years and never laid a hand on her. He would

never have assaulted her.

Could the Crawfords be the ones who tried to kill us?

Stay away from me!

You're the Crawford butler.

If my father tells them what you did, they'll make sure you pay for it!

Your father is nobody.

I want you and no one can stop me.

He's not in immediate danger, but the shock has put him back into a coma.

There's no telling when he'll wake up again.

You should leave for now.

Ethan, I promise you, even if I have to spend the rest of my life pretending to

be Clara, I'll find the real killer and avenge Mum and Dad.

Do you understand what you did wrong?

Yes, Mother. If I catch you at the hospital again, you'll wish all I did

was use that finger clip.

I'll give you a chance to make things right.

Next week, Adrian, the Crawford heir from the North, is coming to the capital

to discuss a marriage alliance.

The North? The Crawfords?

Will Oswald be coming too?

That bastard has seen me before. If he recognizes me, my cover will be blown.

How well do you know Victoria?

We've only met twice at family dinners. At Adrian's welcome banquet, I want you

to introduce Mabel, the Beaumont's second daughter, to Victoria.

What? Victoria is already suspicious.

If I introduce Mabel to her, she'll start suspecting me too.

Mother.

Her Grace and I barely know each other.

I doubt I can even get close to her.

I've heard the rumors that the Duchess prefers women.

Mabel is beautiful and gentle.

I doubt even the Duchess could resist her.

Do this right, and I'll let you visit your brother.

All right.

I'll do it.

Keep a close watch on the hospital.

The moment there's any news about Ethan, report it to me.

Keep digging into the old Crawford case, too.

Especially Oswald.

All right.

Damn it.

I forgot my appointment with that mad dog.

You'd better have a good excuse.

Tell me, why weren't you here on time today?

I'm sorry.

I had to go back to the Beaumont Estate.

That's what delayed me.

I thought you'd run away.

If you still hadn't shown up by tonight, I was going to come to the Beaumont

Estate and get you myself.

Why are you wearing gloves?

What happened to your hand?

I accidentally burnt it.

You call this a burn?

Next time you lie come up with something more convincing

Did

they use a finger clamp on you what happened

it's really nothing

It hurts.

Disobey the Beaumonts and they punish you with a finger clamp.

Disobey me and I'll break your legs and feed them to the dogs.

I'll listen, I promise.

I love hearing you talk more than anyone.

Tell me.

What really happened?

Victoria has toyed with me again and again, but she never really told Julian

what happened.

She's powerful enough to intimidate the Ashfords.

Even the Beaumonts bend over backwards to win her favor.

Are you going to tell me or not?

I didn't want to trouble you.

The truth is, Julian has been suspicious ever since he found the lighter.

He told my mother, so she punished me according to the family rules.

I told you before, once you provoke me,

I'm the only person you can rely on.

You still don't believe me?

If I become yours, can you keep me safe?

That depends on how well you behave.

When did my little rabbit become so obedient?

Your Grace, Baymont women are forbidden from having affairs.

As long as you don't tell my mother or Julian, I'll stay by your side.

And behave until you tire of me.

I understand why you're afraid of your mother.

But Julian, don't tell me you actually love him.

He has a mistress.

Sent you to steal my documents.

And couldn't care less whether you live or die.

What are you thinking?

Julian and I grew up together.

I promised to love him forever.

I won't end our engagement unless he abandons me.

If she thinks I'm a lovesick fool, she won't suspect anything else.

The Baymonts certainly know how to train their daughters.

Remember this, Clara.

I despise liars.

If you lie to me, I'll gouge out your eyes, break your legs, and lock you in a

cage.

Please don't let Oswald be here.

Clara, it looks like the Duchess still hasn't arrived.

She's always late.

Please join me in welcoming the Crawford heir, Adrian!

Oswald.

He really came.

What if he recognises me?

Hello, Clara.

Your Grace, this is my sister Mabel.

She'd like to get to know you.

Could the two of you speak somewhere private?

Where?

In bed?

I'd like that.

Then let's go upstairs.

she took mabel that easily

why

am i even surprised to her mabel and i are just women who threw themselves at

her i'm only using victoria too i need to remember my place

Iris? Sir, are you speaking to me?

What, you don't recognize me after three years?

Show some respect.

I'm Clara Baymont.

You're really not Iris.

How can two people look exactly alike?

I've never heard of anyone named Iris.

Of course.

The Hart family in the North was wiped out three years ago.

Even if Iris survived, she'd be branded the daughter of a rapist.

Naturally, she'd change her face and name and start over.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Did I strike a nerve?

Miss Beefield, Mabel would like to see you in the upstairs lounge.

You heard him.

I have somewhere to be, Mr Whitfield.

I don't have time for your nonsense.

What's going on here?

Get out.

I'm sorry, Your Grace.

I'll take Mabel away.

She can leave.

You can't.

Go downstairs.

I'll be fine.

Your sister is far more adventurous than you.

She walked in, dropped to her knees, and tried to crawl between my legs.

Could you do that?

Did the Beaumont family arrange what happened on your engagement night,

too?

Of course not.

Julian betrayed me.

I got into your carriage because I wanted revenge.

An Ashford dog lied to me, so I banished him from the capital.

Your sister lied, so I kicked her out of my bed.

If you lie to me, should I cut out your tongue or sew your mouth shut?

How could I ever lie to you?

I have nothing but respect for your grace.

Is that how you show your respect?

Thank goodness this is only an act between us.

Falling for someone like her would be pure misery.

Aunt Victoria, have you seen Clara?

Where have you been?

Everyone has been waiting for you.

She's been with me the whole time.

What were the two of you doing together?

I spilled wine on myself, so I went to change.

Thank you for the dress, Your Grace.

Let's go.

Mr. Ashford, how have you been?

Quite well.

Thank you for asking.

What took you so long?

Victoria, Adrian has been waiting for you. Your Grace, it's been years.

You've only grown more captivating.

I wonder if you still remember me.

Sorry, I don't.

When I first met Victoria in the North five years ago, I swore I'd make her

mine.

Please forgive her, Mr. Crawford. That's simply how Victoria is.

Victoria, what do you think of Adrian?

It's only a marriage alliance.

Fine by me.

I should be happy Victoria is marrying into the Crawford family.

That way I can use her to uncover the truth.

Yes, I should be happy.

Mr.

Crawford, if you don't need anything else, I'll take my leave.

All right.

Excuse me. I need to use the REM prim.

If you want the truth about the old Crawford case, come to room 8607 at the

Barn Hotel at 10.

If I go, I'll be walking straight into a trap.

But if I don't, what if Oswald really has evidence?

My dear Clara.

Your Grace.

Where are you going after this?

Julian is taking me home.

Is that so?

Yes. The Beemont rules are strict. I wouldn't dare wander off.

All right. Good night.

Good night.

Father's name and Ethan's life can't wait any longer.

Julian, stop by the general store ahead.

My period started and I don't want to stay in your carriage. Get out.

Your Grace, what are you doing here?

You're early.

You really couldn't wait to see me.

You're here for Oswald, aren't you? He's not here.

With you here, I'm doomed.

Come here.

Your Grace, didn't Julian say he was taking you home?

You think lying to me is fun?

Your Grace, please let me explain.

There's no rush.

I have all night to listen to your explanation.

The Beaumont daughters grew up in the capital and never left.

How do you know Oswald from the north?

What's your relationship with him?

Before the banquet?

Oswald tried to force himself on me.

When he failed, he threatened to tell my mother that I seduced him.

You know, Julian already told her about the lighter.

She doesn't trust me.

If Oswald goes to her with that lie, I won't survive.

I'll know whether you're telling the truth once I bring Oswald in.

Bring him in.

If Oswald says the wrong thing, I'm dead.

Your Grace, Adrian Crawford sent men to take Oswald away.

Thank God.

That buys me a little more time.

Understood. You may go.

Yes, Your Grace.

Whatever the truth is, you lied to me.

How should I deal with you, my dear niece-to-be?

I was wrong.

I'll never do it again.

Kneel.

What are you going to do?

Your Grace, please don't hurt me.

I'm begging you.

Your Grace, it hurts.

So you do feel pain.

I thought Beaumont ladies feared nothing.

You lied to me, so you have to pay a price.

How should I punish you properly?

I've heard some people tattoo over scars.

What do you think of a rose right here?

So close to an artery.

One slip of the needle and blood would spray everywhere.

I was wrong.

I'll never lie to you again.

Please don't.

At last, you've learnt to fear me.

Get out.

Once I've uncovered the truth, you'll explain everything to me.

Yes, Your Grace.

Clara, you have way too many secrets.

And you're connected to the Crawfords, too.

What exactly are you hiding?

Your Grace, I saw Miss Beamort crying just now.

Is she all right?

Don't ask questions that don't concern you.

Yes, Your Grace.

Find out exactly what happened tonight and what relationship Clara has with

Oswald. Yes, Your Grace.

Victoria will keep investigating Oswald.

I've lied to her so many times.

If she learns the truth, she may really kill me.

Harris, it's me, Iris.

What is it?

I need you to forge a criminal record for Oswald Whitmore.

Listing sexual assault and extortion charges.

Slip it into the dossier the Duchess is investigating.

Do it quickly.

Understood.

I don't know if this will be enough to fool Victoria.

Mum, Dad, if I'm meant to fail, then I'll come join you.

Mrs. Beaumont orders you to return home immediately.

You'd better be ready to explain what happened at the banquet.

Yes.

Spare me!

I raised you all these years and you can't even seduce someone.

What use are you to me?

If Victoria doesn't want you, then you'll go to Mr. Smith.

He may not be as powerful as Victoria, but at least he has some value.

Mr. Smith is a monster.

He's ruined more women than anyone can count, Mother.

Please, spare Mabel.

You dare plead for her?

Do you no longer care whether your brother lives?

Take her away.

Yes, madam.

We Beermonts don't keep people who are useless.

Not even my own daughter.

Understand? I understand.

Your brother has been doing well lately. Keep your engagement to Julian secure,

and I'll hire the finest doctors for his rehabilitation.

I may even help you get your revenge.

Yes. Thank you, Mother.

This is Oswald Whitworth's dossier. He served three years in prison for rape

and extortion.

That's the record Harris forged.

Now she should believe Oswald was threatening me.

What do you think we should do with a man like this?

Gouge out his eyes, cut off his dick and feed him to the fish?

That's an excellent idea, Your Grace.

Your Grace took Oswald away earlier, and now you want to throw him into a lake?

What did he do to piss you off this much?

Aren't you Clara, Julian's fiance?

What are you doing here?

She's part of the Ashford family.

Why shouldn't she be here? Victoria, don't tell me you're taking your anger

out on my butler because of this woman.

Oswald tried to assault my niece-to-be.

Tell me.

Shouldn't I settle that score?

What?

He's a repeat offender.

Is this really the kind of man the Crawford family employs as its butler?

Whatever he did.

Oswald is my man. You should have spoken to me before touching him.

After all, you're still doing business with the Crawfords at East Harbour,

aren't you?

Sorry. I do whatever I want. A lowly butler doesn't scare me.

See our guest out?

Yes, Your Grace.

Mr Crawford, this way.

Victoria, we've known each other for five years.

You're throwing me out over this woman! Get out. Don't make me say it twice.

Why are you staring at me?

Thank you for caring so much about me and defending me, Your Grace.

Don't flatter yourself.

I'm overthinking this.

Victoria would never let anyone touch what's hers.

She just wants to possess me.

Then why not go a step further? I can turn her into my weapon and have her

eliminate Oswald for me.

Send Oswald a message. Tell him to meet me at the park this afternoon.

I have to learn the truth about what happened from him. Isn't that too

dangerous? When the time comes, pretend to be a passerby and tell someone in the

Duchess's entourage that a man is harassing the Ashford's fiancée in the

park. All right.

I understand.

Why did you ask to see me again?

Hasn't the Duchess punished me enough already?

The Duchess isn't here. I wanted to see you.

What, were you that disappointed you didn't get to see me that night?

Not just that night. I still remember every detail of that night in the North

three years ago.

Didn't you recognize me the moment you saw me?

You're Iris.

You're admitting it.

Now that I've admitted who I am, can you tell me the truth? You want to know why

your family was hunted down. That truth won't come cheap.

Tell me the truth today, and I'll spend the night with you.

Really?

Really. I promise.

All I know is that your father was made the scapegoat for the murder of Evelyn

Crawford. To eliminate every loose edge, the head of the Crawford family ordered

the entire Hart family wiped out of the North.

My father was so loyal to the Crawfords. I can't believe this is how they repaid

him. Crawfords, I'll make every one of you pay.

Then how did Miss Crawford really die? No one knows.

The family head never told anyone.

I've told you what you wanted to know.

Now it's your turn to satisfy me.

Don't be shy.

Come on, let's go over there.

Let go of me!

Help!

You tricked me. I'm the Duchess's woman.

Do you really dare touch me? Today I'm going to find out exactly what the

Duchess's woman tastes like.

Let go of me! Help!

Your Grace, you came!

Get in the carriage.

You'll be safe there. All right.

You dare touch what's mine?

Is she really going to kill Oswald?

Iris, how can you feel sorry for him? These people framed your father and

destroyed your family. This is exactly what they deserve. Yes, it's their

punishment. You still have to avenge your family. If you aren't ruthless, you

and Ethan will be the ones who die.

Your Grace, stop!

Please have mercy on me!

Take him back.

I'll interrogate him myself.

Yes, Your Grace.

How are you feeling? I'm fine. Just tired. Sleep here tonight.

I'll send someone to explain things to your mother.

I'm sorry, Your Grace.

That bastard Oswald jumped out of the carriage and ran.

Which way did he go? Toward North Mountain.

Take more men. I'll go after him myself.

Yes, Your Grace.

Stay back! All of you, stay back!

Your Grace, you stay back too.

Take another step and I'll jump! Jump from here?

You won't survive, so you know you crossed the wrong person.

Tell me, what's your relationship with Clara?

How did you meet?

Clara and I met three years ago at the Crawford Estate in the north. You knew

each other three years ago? You know what you wanted to know.

Take your men and get the hell out!

Clara is a Beemont lady.

Her family rules are so strict that she's never even left the capital.

How could she have met you at the Crawford Estate?

If you want that answer, Your Grace, you'll have to make it worth my while.

Look at the state you're in.

What makes you think you have any leverage to bargain with me?

Seize him.

Stay back!

Your Grace, what are you doing?

So you and Oswald met in the North three years ago.

Clara, I hate being lied to. And you've lied to me again and again, testing my

limits. I was too soft last time. I should have had you marked after all.

I never knew Oswald before.

He's lying about me.

Oswald fell into the lake.

It's so deep they probably won't even find his body. He's dead?

With Oswald dead.

No one knows who I really am.

After all the evil he committed, this is what he deserved.

Thank you for saving me today.

I'll do anything you ask.

Anything? Then I want you to stay by my side forever.

She's just being possessive, like I'm her pet. But Victoria, how long is

forever to you?

Will I even live that long?

As long as your grace wants me, I'll stay faithfully by your side.

Victoria. You can never learn my secret.

Clara, I will uncover the secret you've been hiding.

Your Grace, even if Oswald offended your niece-to-be, you couldn't just kill him.

Not only Oswald.

I won't spare a single member of the Crawford family.

I just wanted to teach him a lesson.

How was I supposed to know he'd jump into the lake before saying a single

word? Was that my fault?

Besides, Adrian, he was only a butler.

Why are you so upset?

How dare you say that? The head of the Crawford family came to the capital the

moment he heard.

He'll arrive tomorrow, and you will apologize to him in person!

If I'd murdered someone, I'd already be in prison.

I don't need you sitting here passing judgment on me.

The Crawford head is coming to the capital.

I need to use this chance to take them all down.

But why did they make father their scapegoat?

Your Grace, whatever you say, you owe me an explanation.

You can always hire another butler.

But if you miss him that much, I could send you down to join him.

What is that supposed to mean?

Adrian, my sister has been arrogant and unruly since childhood.

Don't take it personally. She's not a bad person.

She simply lacks manners.

Of course.

When it comes to behaving yourself, no one does it better than you.

You spend all day sitting in a wheelchair. How much trouble could you

possibly cause? Enough!

At tomorrow's family dinner, you will apologize properly to the Crawford

family head.

This is my father, George Crawford, head of the Crawford family and a royal duke.

Welcome, Duke Crawford.

So you're Victoria, the Duchess. You're the one who killed Oswald? Victoria!

Stand up and greet Duke Crawford.

Clara, this wine is good. Want a taste?

What is she doing?

No, thank you, Your Grace.

You're clinging to Victoria again!

Victoria, I'm sorry.

Treating my niece to be like that is rude, don't you think?

My son forgot his manners.

I hope Your Grace will forgive him.

However, you took the Crawford family's butcher and caused his death. We still

have that score to settle.

Fine. I'll be waiting.

But surely you'll allow me to change my clothes first.

It was only a minor accident. I hope you won't take offence, Duke Crawford.

Please, sit.

Victoria, you've gotten me into a terrible mess.

Why did you ask me here?

I want us to join forces and eliminate Victoria.

Why? Isn't she your own sister?

She's the one who crippled me.

Now she's also responsible for your butler's death.

Don't tell me you don't hate her.

I never liked arrogant people.

Getting rid of her won't be hard.

Framing the hearts as scapegoats was child's play.

Did you wipe them all out?

Of course, Victoria.

Your good days are over.

Julian, you wanted to see me. What's going on between you and Victoria?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Clara, stop denying it.

My maid noticed Clara visiting the Duchess' estate constantly.

At first, I thought she had legitimate business there.

Then I discovered she was meeting the Duchess in secret.

Bitch!

Beatrice Bevmont, come get your daughter. I'm ending this engagement.

Julian, don't.

You've damaged the Baymont name.

How are you going to answer for that?

Now that Julian ended the engagement, a pawn like you is useless.

Call the hospital.

Starting tomorrow, stop all treatment for Ethan.

Yes, madam.

No, Beatrice!

Ethan is the only family I have left.

Please don't stop his treatment.

You broke the rules of our game first.

Now you'll pay for what you've done.

Beatrice!

It's over.

The behemoths have given up on me.

Victoria.

Victoria is the only one I can use now.

Harris, the behemoths have thrown me away.

Did you find out anything from the hospital?

Half an hour ago, the Baymonts told the doctors to stop Ethan's treatment.

He only has a few days of medicine left.

Okay. I'll figure something out fast.

I want to see him first.

Beatrice wants Ethan dead.

She's also posted more guards outside the hospital.

I understand.

I have to use Victoria to get Ethan out before it's too late.

But how can I make her help without telling her who I really am?

Your Grace, what are you doing here?

Didn't you send someone with a message asking me to meet you here?

No, I didn't.

What's wrong?

Why are you in such a hurry?

It's a trap.

I didn't bring my gun today, and someone's trying to kill me.

It's too dangerous here. Go, now!

There she is.

If I save Victoria's life and survive, she'll owe me.

I can make her save Ethan.

Am I dying?

I won't let you die.

Even if you go to hell, I'll pull you back.

Why does she look so devastated?

I'm just a pet to her, aren't I?

Get her to a hospital, now!

Clara, why did you save me?

I'm a mad dog everyone avoids. I used every trick to keep you by my side.

Am I really worth saving?

Your Grace, try not to worry.

I'm sure Miss Beaumont will be all right.

The Duchess truly has fallen in love with her.

How is she?

She's out of danger.

After another night's rest, she should wake up.

Ethan? What did you say?

Ethan?

Find everyone named Ethan in the North. Focus on anyone connected to the

Crawfords or Oswald Whitford. Yes, Your Grace.

Clara, how many more secrets are you hiding from me?

You're awake.

Victoria, did you stay with me this whole time?

You used to call me Your Grace when you wanted something.

Now you saved my life, so you think you can just call me by my name?

If you don't like it, should I go back to calling you Your Grace?

Who said I didn't like it?

Then, Victoria, were you alright last night?

Were you hoping I wasn't? Of course not! Why else would I have saved you?

She seems to be in a good mood.

Maybe I should push my luck.

I did risk my life for you last night.

Could I make three wishes?

You're making me wonder if you're the one trying to kill me.

What? Of course not!

Go on. What are your wishes?

My first wish is, could you please not marry Adrian?

If I don't marry him, should I marry you instead?

What are you saying?

What about your other two wishes?

I haven't decided yet.

Can I save them for later?

Fine. Get some rest. I need to step out. All right.

Three years ago, Professor Hart in the North was accused of assaulting Miss

Crawford.

My investigation shows Professor Hart, his wife, and their two children were

all killed. Ethan was Professor Hart's son.

His sister was named Iris.

This is her photograph.

Three years ago, the Beaumont family's notoriously timid fourth daughter

suddenly began appearing in public far more often. No one knows why.

What are you suggesting?

With a resemblance this exact, they're either twins or the same person.

Ethan is in this hospital.

Could I use this chance to see him?

Victoria?

Going to see Ethan?

Yes.

He's my brother.

At last, the truth.

Was it fun lying to me for so long, Iris?

Didn't I tell you that if you lied to me again, the ancients leader Sidwart and

Findu, I'd lock you away?

I had no choice.

Guards!

Lock her in the estate cellar.

Give her no food or water.

And don't let her take a single step outside.

But... Did you not understand my order?

Understood, Your Grace.

Let go of me!

Wait! You promised me three wishes. Do they still count?

Ethan is still in Beatrice's hands.

Please, save him.

So those wishes were just a backup plan?

And asking me not to marry Adrian, was that just another way to use me for your

revenge? What else did you plan? You've uncovered my greatest secret.

What could I possibly have left to hide?

I won't save your brother.

When he dies, I'll bring you his ashes so you finally learn your lesson.

Victoria, you bastard!

Let me go! No!

Take her away.

Your Grace, what do we do next?

Keep searching for records of Clara Baymott's childhood.

Yes. Also, the hospital says Ethan has regained consciousness.

Discharge him.

Prepare one of my villas for him and assign someone to care for him.

Understood. And Clara, I mean Iris.

Take her back to the hospital tonight.

Yes, Your Grace.

Ethan.

Ethan!

Victoria had them bring me back to the hospital.

But what happened to Ethan?

Adrian Crawford?

What are you doing here?

Why did you save Victoria?

You little bitch. What right do you have to keep clinging to her?

Is that really why you came to see me, Mr. Crawford?

I didn't just come to see you.

I came to send you to hell.

Let me tell you something.

You're not the first woman to cling to Victoria and poison her mind.

And you won't be the first to die by my hand.

You have a death wish.

That little bitch is only seducing you to climb the social ladder.

I'm your fiancée.

Why do you always protect her instead of me?

I haven't even settled the score with the Crawfords for your father trying to

kill me and you dare touch what's mine?

What? My father tried to kill you? That's impossible!

Get out or I'll shoot you.

Are you hurt?

Now you're solling at me.

Where is Ethan?

Is he dead?

If he is, your grace might as well kill me now too.

You want to die that badly?

Yes.

Even if your brother is alive and perfectly well.

What did you say?

You have one final wish.

Think quickly.

Then Ethan?

He's awake, healthy, staying in one of my villas.

You have five minutes to make your final wish.

If you can't, it's gone.

What are

you doing?

Victoria knows who I really am.

I've cut ties with the Beaumonts.

If I want revenge, she's the strongest ally I could have.

Victoria, if you don't marry Adrian, could I be the person who spends the

rest of your life with you?

You're not even hiding it anymore.

You want to use me for revenge, don't you?

I lied to you, and I deserve to die.

But I can't die yet.

Once you help me get my revenge, you can do whatever you want with me.

Why should I give you what you want?

Keep dreaming Why does she look so hurt?

Iris, to you I'm just a useful weapon Where

did you hide your brother?

I can get revenge and save Ethan without you.

You little bitch.

Aren't you even curious why I made you impersonate Clara?

What do you mean?

Mrs. Beaumont, what brings you here?

I should be asking you that, Your Grace.

Clara is my daughter.

Can't I visit her in the hospital?

You can stop pretending.

How did Iris impersonate Clara so perfectly that she fooled everyone?

Where is the real Clara?

The one who looks exactly like Iris?

I don't know what you're talking about. The moment you're discharged, you will

return home.

Victoria, what did you mean just now?

Haven't you ever wondered why she chose you, of all people, to impersonate

Clara?

You look exactly like Clara.

She once said Clara and I looked exactly alike.

Do you really think two people can look exactly alike?

Unless they're twins.

Twins?

But I'm the Hart family's only daughter.

Your hospital room certainly has a steady stream of visitors.

What are you doing here?

Clara, we heard you were in the hospital, so Julian and I came to see

you.

Julian, you already ended our engagement.

Why are you here?

I was just trying to scare you.

If you've learned your lesson, I'm still willing to give you another chance.

You still want to marry her?

So that's why Beatrice showed up again.

You changed your mind.

But Julian, I never loved you.

This time... I'm ending this engagement.

I won't allow it. You're my woman.

Your woman?

I dare you to say that again.

I'll speak to Grandfather about this.

Julian!

What are you smiling at? Pack your things.

The doctor says you can leave.

I have business this afternoon, so I'll send someone to pick you up later.

All right.

You still dare come to Victoria's home and cling to her?

You're the one who won't leave her alone.

You're just like Evelyn.

I killed her and I can kill you too.

You killed Evelyn?

Anyone who tries to seduce Victoria deserves to die.

I killed Evelyn and she was my own sister.

What makes you think I'd spare you?

Let her go.

You'll all pay for this.

Iris, are you all right?

Quickly, take me to Ethan.

Iris.

Ethan, thank God you're safe.

Adrian killed Evelyn, didn't he?

Father was just a scapegoat for the Crawfords.

Iris, don't cry.

I didn't tell you because I wanted you to stay away from all this and live a

peaceful life.

You're right.

I won't cry.

We both survived, and we still have a chance to get revenge.

The Duchess rescued us from the Burmonts. I'll ask her to help us.

That Duchess is no ordinary woman.

What exactly is your relationship with her?

I... suppose I'm her lover.

You're having an affair with the Duchess?

You haven't actually fallen for her, have you?

I don't know how I feel about her.

She's too dangerous. You can't... Don't worry.

Once we've had our revenge, we'll go somewhere else and start over.

I won't fall in love with her.

Love?

Love doesn't mean shit.

Your sister is already mine and I intend to keep her by my side forever.

Victoria, you misunderstood.

I was just... Iris!

You said I misunderstood.

So explain.

I begged you not to marry Adrian.

I begged you to be with me.

You refused.

If you don't even like me, what right do you have to demand that I like you?

That's what this is about?

Fine. I agree.

You're using me for revenge.

So you'll spend the rest of your life paying me back.

You'll really help me get revenge?

We'll discuss that after I've dealt with the engagement.

Come back to the Ashford's Great with me tomorrow and explain everything.

Agreed?

Agreed.

You want to end your engagement to Adrian?

I won't allow it!

What gives you the right to decide for me?

Why?

Is this because of Clara? Once I find the evidence.

I'll tear you to pieces. Yes, it is.

Clara will move into my estate as my lifelong partner and legal heir.

What did you say?

Was I not clear enough, Father?

Clara is my fiancé!

Julian, our relationship ended the moment you chose Lydia.

The two of you have been sleeping together?

She's lying!

She's only trying to excuse her own affair. Silence!

Julian. Go kneel in the courtyard.

Lydia, you will return to your own house.

Grandfather, I grew up in the Ashford household.

I'm practically family. Please don't send me away.

Guards, take them both away.

Grandfather!

Let's go.

That bitch Clara.

Father, you have to kill her for me. Adrian, there are countless people in

this world. Why must it be Victoria?

Because I love her.

Open this box and look inside before you say anything else.

Victoria has no respect for the Crawfords.

This is an open threat, a deliberate provocation.

She survived my last attempt and dared to taunt me.

I'll find another chance.

Clara's obviously the one poisoning Victoria against us. We should kill

Clara instead.

Besides... What is it?

I let something slip in front of Clara.

She knows I killed Evelyn.

You useless fool!

Evelyn is dead. I'm your only heir now. You have to save me!

Victoria.

Visiting your brother again?

Yes. Did you come to pick me up?

Yes, you're so important. The Duchess has to be your driver and bodyguard.

Bodyguard?

You're safe now.

My investigation shows George Crawford may have sent last night's assassins.

The Crawfords again.

Put them under close watch.

Yes, Your Grace.

Why would George come after me? Was it Adrian's idea?

Adrian said Evelyn loved Victoria.

What was going on between Evelyn and Victoria?

What are you thinking about?

Victoria, were you and Evelyn close?

Were we? I don't remember.

Do you know how Miss Crawford died?

What does that have to do with me?

She seems completely indifferent, so she must truly know nothing.

She probably felt nothing for Evelyn, just as she feels nothing for Adrian.

Why are you asking about me and Evelyn? Trying to find out if we had feelings

for each other, so you can decide if your weapon for revenge is still useful?

She's telling the truth, so why does this still feel so strange?

Is it really that hard to just say no and humor me?

Take it.

Next week, I'll hold a ceremony to welcome you into my estate.

After that, everyone will know you're under my protection.

Thank you, Victoria.

But this ring is too valuable. You don't like it? Then throw it away. I love it.

How do you want your revenge?

Should I hire assassins? No.

I want George and Adrian dead more than anything.

But I want evidence.

I want the Crawfords' crimes exposed and Father's name cleared.

The doctor said I should massage your legs often.

Did the Duchess give you that ring?

Yes. She's agreed to help us get revenge.

Iris, if revenge means sacrificing your happiness for the rest of your life, I'd

rather not do it.

The Duchess is too dangerous.

Please don't stay with her.

Alright? I... Alright.

I promise.

Victoria has done so much for me.

How could I just walk away?

Victoria is even holding a ceremony to install that bitch at her estate. The

invitations are already here.

Father, when are we going to strike?

Victoria has already taken out several assassins I sent.

She's insane.

Duke Crawford, this is Beatrice, head of the Bermont family.

I have a secret to share with you.

The Hart siblings are alive, and they're right under your nose.

What did you say?

The woman your son Adrian hates isn't Clara at all.

She's Iris Hart.

Why are you telling me this?

The Crawfords, the Bermonts, and William, the Ashford heir. We can join

forces to eliminate Clara.

Next week's ceremony will be our best chance.

Our people found out George knows the Hart siblings are alive.

He's looking for Ethan now.

Ethan is in danger!

Ethan, are you alright?

I'm fine.

What's wrong?

As long as you're safe.

My people are watching him. What could happen?

Hello, Your Grace. We meet again. Why do I get the feeling you're not happy to

see me?

You're right.

I don't like you.

Ethan! Don't provoke her. Let me make this clear.

Your sister is mine.

You're alive, getting treatment, and have a chance at revenge against the

Crawfords because of me. Understand?

Don't be angry.

Ethan shouldn't have spoken to you that way. I was only being honest.

So this is where Iris learned to be heartless and ungrateful.

What did you say? Ethan, you need to be extremely careful from now on. I have to

go. I'll visit again soon.

Don't walk so fast. Wait for me.

Victoria, let me make it up to you, okay?

And how do you plan to do that?

I love it.

I'll wear it to the ceremony you prepared for me.

After tomorrow, you'll be mine forever.

The Crawfords know Ethan and I are alive.

They'll keep trying to silence us.

Tomorrow's ceremony is the only event they'll attend.

I have to find the evidence myself and end this.

What are you thinking about?

I want to ask you for something.

Are you having second thoughts?

No. I want you to send Ethan away.

The Crawfords know we're alive. I'm afraid they'll come after him.

After the ceremony, I'll send him somewhere safer. That's easily arranged.

You know the only thing I've ever wanted is you.

Thank you, Victoria.

I've thought about this a lot.

You shouldn't have to bear all the consequences for me.

If I survive tonight and see you again, I'll apologize properly.

Harris, I've set up a recorder in the cabinet in the Duchess' lounge.

Tonight, I'll confront Adrian face to face.

If anything happens to me, get the recording and take it to the police.

This is far too dangerous.

It's the only way to obtain the evidence.

I have no other choice.

All right.

I promise.

Thank you.

Mrs. Bermond will keep Victoria busy.

William's men will cause trouble in the back courtyard to draw away Victoria's

guards. Use that chance to find Clara. Be quick.

Understood.

Today I'll finally get rid of that bitch.

It's almost time.

Adrian must be looking everywhere for me by now.

there she is father i'm going in

Iris, you're a hard woman to find.

Where's Ethan?

You and your father killed my parents.

You left my brother bedridden for three years.

You made me live under someone else's roof and suffer.

Why would I ever tell you where he is?

Adrian Crawford?

So what?

My father framed your father for Evelyn's death.

Now I can send you straight to hell.

You admit it?

In a few days, I'll

kill your brother too.

and reunite your entire family in hell.

You're telling me now that Clara and Iris are twins.

Don't you think it's a little late?

Or were you expecting a reward?

Then I won't take up any more of your Grace's time.

Iris has been stabbed.

What?

Where is she?

I told you to stay with Iris.

How did she get stabbed?

A fire broke out in the back courtyard.

I was overwhelmed.

I'm sorry, Your Grace.

How is Iris?

The doctors are doing everything they can. The operation may take a few more

hours. Your Grace, the operating room is running out of alcohol.

Please let me get more.

Fine. Hurry.

Where are those two Crawford bastards?

My mother is going to kill you!

You don't have what it takes to kill me.

You won't escape this time.

Good.

You're all here.

That saves me the trouble of hunting you down one by one.

William.

You've waited a long time for this, haven't you?

You ruined my life.

I ruined you.

You bullied me since we were kids.

You killed my pet rabbit and blamed me for it.

Mother always took your side.

If I hadn't crippled you in that shooting match, you would have killed me

sooner or later.

What are you waiting for?

Kill her!

Iris.

Iris, you're awake.

Where am I?

A hospital in the north.

We're finally home.

Look, the police got the recording.

George and Adrian have both been executed.

Father's name is cleared.

The newspaper's printed the whole truth.

We finally got our revenge.

The news says there was a gunfight.

What happened to Victoria? Is she okay?

I'll get you some water.

What happened to Victoria?

She's dead.

That's impossible.

You're lying. I have to find her.

It's all over. Why are you still thinking about her?

She got into danger because of us.

Do you truly intend to spend the rest of your life with her?

I... Don't leave me, Iris.

Ethan.

Have you lost your mind?

We aren't actually siblings.

I already figured that out.

Clara and I must be twins.

Mum and Dad adopted me, and Beatrice adopted Clara.

But you'll always be my brother.

I don't love you like that.

I have to see her.

Don't try to stop me.

Iris!

The doctor said the

bandage can't come off yet.

What a nuisance.

You're hurt.

Stop being so restless.

I'll leave you two alone.

Weren't you in the north? Why did you come back?

Ethan took me there while I was out.

Going north wasn't my choice.

Then what are you saying?

Victoria, I think I've really fallen for you.

You think?

I love you.
