Choosing the Stronger Branch - Episode 10

Raymond confronts his wife, Rose, blaming her for their daughter Zoe's resistance to the arranged marriage with the Marquis, which was announced before the King and cannot be undone without causing a scandal. Zoe then issues an ultimatum to her father: either let her go or she and her mother will die, threatening him with public disgrace. Faced with this, Zoe appears to relent, agreeing to marry but stating she has a condition. The scene then shifts to a man forcing a drugged drink on a woman, vowing she will beg for him tonight, while she swears she will never forgive him even in death.
