When the Future Emperor Fell for Me - Episode 9

This episode opens with Yisroel brought forward for a staged punishment. His father allows Rory to act but orders it be only a few lashes to fool onlookers. Yisroel undresses to avoid fabric sticking to wounds. Rory demands screams; Yisroel stays silent. Rory calls the lashes done and warns he'll change methods. Someone claims, "This is my territory," prompting a brief standoff while guards post then leave. Rory shifts to a quieter, more invasive tactic, and the episode cuts unresolved as Yisroel asks, "Where are you touching?"
