[00:00] knights
    Defend the castle!
[01:11] knight 1
    Hasn't the crown prince escaped yet?
[01:13] knight 2
    It's not that simple! The princes
    are too young to flee swiftly!
[01:20] Yoel
    In any case, we defend
    this place to the death!
[01:22] Yoel
    Hold until the signal bell rings!
[01:42] Rishe
    Here is the man who brought about this war,
[01:47] Rishe
    the emperor of Galkhein:
[01:50] Rishe
    Arnold Hein.
[02:06] Yoel
    Here we go!
[02:07] knights
    Sir!
[03:37] Rishe
    I lived this life to the fullest, too.
[03:45] Rishe
    But...
[03:47] Rishe
    Next time... Next time, I'll...
[04:16] Dietrich
    Rishe Irmgard Weitzner!
[04:18] Dietrich
    You are a devious woman unworthy of
    being the fiancée of a crown prince!
[04:22] Dietrich
    Today, as of this moment,
    I annul my engagement to you!
[04:28] Rishe
    Very well. I understand.
[04:30] Dietrich
    Huh?
[04:31] Dietrich
    Hold on. I'm voiding our engagement.
[04:33] Dietrich
    You must be worried about
    what will happen to you now.
[04:36] Rishe
    No, not in the least.
[04:38] Dietrich
    What?
[04:40] Rishe
    If you'll pardon me.
[04:42] Dietrich
    Huh? W-Wait!
[04:43] Dietrich
    Rishe? Where are you going?
[04:45] Dietrich; background
    Listen to me!
[04:46] Rishe
    Once again, I've returned.
[04:47] Dietrich; background
    I spent a whole week thinking about
    how I'd read off your list of crimes!
[04:51] Dietrich; background
    Listen! Hey! You! Come back here!
[04:53] Rishe
    I already know how I'm to be treated.
[04:54] Dietrich; background
    Halt! Rishe! Listen to me
    when I'm speaking to you!
[04:57] Rishe
    After all,
[04:59] Rishe
    this is the seventh time I've relived my life.
[05:12] Rishe
    Even now, I can recall it clearly...
[05:15] Rishe
    My very first life.
[05:18] (Flashback) Dietrich
    Rishe Irmgard Weitzner!
[05:20] (Flashback) Dietrich
    You are a devious woman unworthy of
    being the fiancée of a crown prince!
[05:24] Dietrich
    Today, as of this moment,
    I annul my engagement to you!
[05:28] Rishe
    Wh-What? You're breaking off our engagement?
[05:31] (Flashback) Rishe
    But... why?
[05:33] (Flashback) Dietrich
    You will be exiled from this kingdom.
[05:36] (Flashback) Rishe
    Crown Prince Dietrich...
[05:38] (Flashback) Rishe
    Do you really mean what you're saying?
[05:40] (Flashback) Dietrich
    I will now list your crimes.
[05:43] (Flashback) Rishe
    Crimes?!
[05:46] (Flashback) Rishe's dad
    We are a ducal house, with an
    oath of loyalty to the crown.
[05:49] (Flashback) Rishe's dad
    To think that you, my only daughter,
    would betray that oath.
[05:53] (Flashback) Rishe's mom
    You should be ashamed, Rishe.
[05:55] (Flashback) Rishe
    They're false accusations!
    Please, listen to me!
[05:58] (Flashback) Rishe
    Father! Mother!
[06:03] Rishe
    My engagement was broken.
[06:05] Rishe
    My family abandoned me.
[06:07] Rishe
    With nothing but the clothes on
    my back, I wandered aimlessly.
[06:21] Rishe
    What do I do now?
[06:28] (Flashback) Tully
    Is it fun staring at the ground like that,
[06:30] (Flashback) Tully
    young lady?
[06:32] Rishe
    That's when it happened.
[06:34] Rishe
    That's when I met that band
    of traveling merchants.
[06:38] (Flashback) Tully
    You look like you're going
    through a rough patch.
[06:40] (Flashback) Tully
    This cart is headed to the next
    country over. Want a ride?
[06:43] (Flashback) Chester
    You sure about this, chief?
[06:45] (Flashback) Chester
    You're a real pushover when it
    comes to beauties like her.
[06:49] Rishe
    Are these people merchants?
[06:50] traders; background
    That's true!
[06:52] (Flashback) Tully; background
    Idiots. I've got a better eye
    for people than you think.
[06:59] (Flashback) Tully
    Even in the moonlight, that silk
    shines with an impressive luster.
[07:03] (Flashback) Tully
    It's Vishkulha made, isn't it?
[07:06] (Flashback) Tully
    So you're from the royal family,
    or maybe a duke's house.
[07:11] (Flashback) Tully
    A noble young lady like you
    out this late can only—
[07:13] (Flashback) Rishe
    Excuse me!
[07:15] (Flashback) Rishe
    Would you buy this ring from me?
[07:26] (Flashback) Tully
    We don't just buy and sell things.
[07:30] (Flashback) Tully
    We find goods that set our
    hearts ablaze—that fire us up—
[07:34] (Flashback) Tully
    and we sell them to people who are
    just as excited about them as us.
[07:37] (Flashback) Tully
    Both buyer and seller love the wares, and
    that's what creates the profit in the trade.
[07:43] (Flashback) Tully
    That's our creed—the creed
    of the Aria Trading Company.
[07:49] (Flashback) Tully
    That face... You just thought,
    "that sounds like fun," didn't you?
[07:52] (Flashback) Rishe
    I-I...
[07:54] (Flashback) Tully
    Your life's a blank slate right now, isn't it?
[07:58] (Flashback) Tully
    Why don't you take this opportunity
    to embark on the path of a merchant?
[08:02] (Flashback) Rishe
    Me? I've never even considered it.
[08:06] (Flashback) Tully
    You've been freed from your stifling destiny
    as the wife of a crown prince.
[08:11] (Flashback) Tully
    You can go anywhere.
[08:14] (Flashback) Tully
    You're free to do whatever you want.
[08:20] (Flashback) Rishe
    Free... to do what I want...
[08:24] (Flashback) Tully
    You have a good eye.
[08:26] (Flashback) Tully
    And...
[08:28] (Flashback) Tully
    You possess the kind of amazing luck that
    led you to a friendly caravan like ours!
[08:34] (Flashback) Tully
    If you became a merchant, I think
    things would get pretty interesting.
[08:41] (Flashback) Tully
    How about it? Are you in?
[08:42] (Flashback) Rishe
    Yes, please! Please teach me
    how to be a merchant!
[08:47] Rishe
    My first life.
[08:49] Rishe
    I learned how to trade under Chief Tully.
[08:53] Rishe
    Then I set out on my own as a merchant.
[08:56] Rishe
    I traveled the world, pursuing my newfound
    dream of visiting every country in it.
[09:02] Rishe
    And then, with just one
    country left on my list,
[09:04] Rishe
    I was swept up in a war...
[09:07] Rishe
    and ended up losing my life.
[09:32] (Flashback) Rishe
    What?
[09:32] (Flashback) Dietrich
    Rishe Irmgard Weitzner!
[09:35] (Flashback) Dietrich
    You are a devious woman unworthy of
    being the fiancée of a crown prince!
[09:38] (Flashback) Dietrich
    Today, as of this moment,
    I annul my engagement to you!
[09:43] (Flashback) Rishe
    Crown Prince Dietrich?
[09:47] Rishe
    What is all this?
[09:50] Rishe
    My dress and ring are just
    as they were on that day.
[09:53] Rishe
    Is this... a dream?
[09:56] (Flashback) Dietrich
    You will be exiled from this kingdom.
[10:02] (Flashback) Rishe
    It hurts.
[10:04] (Flashback) Dietrich
    Does the dissolution of our engagement
    sadden you that much?
[10:07] Rishe
    If this isn't a dream...
[10:07] Dietrich; background
    I see. I see.
[10:08] Rishe
    then I don't have a moment to lose!
[10:10] Rishe
    Soon, they'll lock me out of the mansion!
[10:14] (Flashback) Rishe
    If you'll pardon me.
[10:15] (Flashback) Dietrich
    Huh? W-Wait!
[10:16] (Flashback) Dietrich
    Rishe? Where are you going?
[10:18] Dietrich; background
    Listen to me!
[10:18] Rishe
    Thank you, gods!
[10:19] Dietrich; background
    I spent a whole week thinking about
    how I'd read off your list of crimes!
[10:21] Rishe
    I don't understand how,
    but I've been given a second chance at life!
[10:23] Dietrich; background
    Listen! Hey! You! Come back here!
[10:25] Rishe
    The only regret I harbored about that night...
[10:28] Rishe
    was that I wasn't able to bring
    more of my personal effects with me.
[10:31] Rishe
    If I'd had more seed money as a merchant,
[10:33] Rishe
    I would have been able to grow
    my enterprise more quickly.
[10:36] Rishe
    Now I just need to meet Chief Tully and
    everyone from the Aria Trading Company again!
[10:42] Rishe
    But by the time I arrived, the Company's
    carts had already passed through.
[10:47] Rishe
    It can't be. Is this because I went
    back home and gathered my things?
[10:58] (Flashback) Rishe
    The Pictorial Herbal of Foreign Medicinal 
    Plants my grandmother left me...
[11:03] Rishe
    Unlike last time, I have money.
[11:05] Rishe
    In which case, I just need to
    decide what to do with it.
[11:10] Rishe
    In my second life, I sold my possessions,
    used the proceeds to cross the sea,
[11:14] Rishe
    and chose to study medicine.
[11:17] Rishe
    With information on where
    medicinal plants grew,
[11:20] Rishe
    and the knowledge of when
    epidemics would spread,
[11:22] Rishe
    I was able to put the experience
    I'd gained from my first life to good use.
[11:28] Rishe
    One day, I traveled to a kingdom in the north
[11:30] Rishe
    and saved a sickly prince.
[11:34] (Flashback) Michel
    Your complexion is looking much better, Kyle.
[11:37] (Flashback) Kyle
    Thank you, Weitzner.
[11:39] (Flashback) Kyle
    I feel so well today that
    I even surprise myself.
[11:42] (Flashback) Kyle
    It's all thanks to your medicine.
[11:44] (Flashback) Rishe
    I'm so glad.
[11:46] Rishe
    My life as an herbalist was fulfilling
    and incredibly rewarding.
[11:51] Rishe
    But once again in my second life,
    just as I'd been in my first...
[11:55] Rishe
    I was swept up in a war and died.
[12:07] (Flashback) Dietrich
    Rishe Irmgard Weitzner!
[12:10] (Flashback) Dietrich
    You are a devious woman unworthy of
    being the fiancée of a crown prince!
[12:14] (Flashback) Dietrich
    Today, as of this moment,
    I annul my engagement to—
[12:17] (Flashback) Rishe
    I understand and comply.
[12:18] (Flashback) Dietrich
    Understand what?!
[12:20] Rishe
    For my third life, I set my
    sights on something else:
[12:23] Rishe
    a specialized branch of study that
    I'd learned of in my previous life,
[12:28] Rishe
    and a genius scholar who specialized in it.
[12:32] Rishe
    For me, his was the familiar face of
    an acquaintance from my second life,
[12:36] Rishe
    Doctor Michel Evan.
[12:39] (Flashback) Michel
    No matter how perfect you
    believe your theory to be,
[12:42] (Flashback) Michel
    it is only through repeated experimentation
    that you may draw a valid conclusion.
[12:47] (Flashback) Rishe
    Yes, Doctor!
[12:48] (Flashback) Michel
    You really do seem to enjoy your research.
[12:52] (Flashback) Rishe
    Learning new things is so very exciting!
[12:55] (Flashback) Rishe
    It expands my horizons,
[12:57] (Flashback) Rishe
    and causes me to view even yesterday's
    sights in a whole new light!
[13:01] Rishe
    After that, the good doctor and I parted ways,
[13:04] Rishe
    and as I continued my research alone,
    once again...
[13:08] Rishe
    I was swept up in a war and died.
[13:12] Rishe
    From serving as a handmaid in a
    duke's household in my fourth life,
[13:16] Rishe
    to disguising myself as a man
    and fighting as a knight in my sixth life...
[13:20] Rishe
    In each life, I found a sense of fulfillment,
[13:23] Rishe
    and I enjoyed them all very much.
[13:25] Rishe
    But...
[13:29] Rishe
    In each new life of mine,
    once five years have passed,
[13:32] Rishe
    I die without fail.
[13:35] Rishe
    Even when I didn't die from
    being swept up in the war,
[13:38] Rishe
    I spent my days so busy
    I nearly died from overwork!
[13:41] Rishe
    And now, I find myself reliving
    my life for the seventh time.
[13:44] Rishe
    I want to spend this go-around taking it easy.
[13:48] Rishe
    And more than anything else,
[13:50] Rishe
    I swear I'll live a long life this time!
[13:54] Rishe
    Now that I think about it,
[13:56] Rishe
    up until this point, I've always
    left through the main entrance.
[14:01] Rishe
    But as I am now, this way will be quicker—
[14:09] Rishe
    I'm so very... sorry...
[14:21] Arnold
    You certainly charged around that corner—
[14:26] Rishe
    Emperor Arnold Hein!
[14:28] Arnold
    You know who I am?
[14:31] Arnold
    This is the first time
    I've come to this kingdom.
[14:36] Rishe
    My name is Rishe Imgard Weitzner.
[14:40] Rishe
    Though this is the first time we have met,
[14:43] Rishe
    I must say that your reputation precedes you.
[14:45] Arnold
    Just now, you called me
    "emperor," didn't you?
[14:50] Arnold
    As my father, the emperor, still lives,
    I am no more than a crown prince. And yet...
[14:55] Rishe
    Well...
[15:00] Rishe
    My deepest apologies, Your Royal Highness.
[15:03] Rishe
    In my flustered state, it seems
    I misspoke most disrespectfully.
[15:08] Rishe
    However, my engagement has presently
    been annulled, so I am in no small hurry.
[15:12] Rishe
    I must take my leave now.
[15:16] Arnold
    A broken engagement?
[15:32] Arnold
    Wait.
[16:01] Rishe
    There.
[16:12] Oliver
    Has something happened?
[16:14] Arnold
    Oliver, ready my horse.
[16:16] Oliver
    As you command.
[16:18] Oliver
    What are you planning to do?
[16:33] Rishe
    This body has far too little endurance.
[16:36] Rishe
    I'll have to train all over again.
[16:40] Rishe
    What?
[16:44] Dietrich
    I've spent a week planning it—my masterpiece!
[16:47] Ermitte knight
    Prince Dietrich! It's Lady Rishe!
[16:49] Dietrich
    What?
[16:50] Dietrich
    Out of the way! You, let me pass!
[16:53] Dietrich
    You took your time, Rishe.
[16:54] Dietrich
    You don't wish to hear your beloved,
[16:56] Dietrich
    me, speak more words of
    condemnation. I understand.
[17:00] Dietrich
    However, it won't go as you wish.
[17:02] Dietrich
    Bringing the hammer of justice down
    upon wicked women such as you
[17:05] Dietrich
    is one of my duties as the
    future king of this land!
[17:06] Rishe
    Not only did I fail to make it in time,
[17:08] Rishe
    this is the absolute worst
    timing of any of my lives.
[17:11] Rishe; background
    If only I'd arrived later
    than in my first life,
[17:13] Rishe; background
    I might have avoided seeing his face again.
[17:14] Dietrich
    What are you mumbling about?
[17:17] Dietrich
    It's just as I thought.
[17:19] Dietrich
    At the soirée, you reacted
    indifferently to my proclamation,
[17:21] Dietrich
    but it seems to me that you
    are deeply saddened at heart.
[17:24] Rishe
    Pardon?
[17:25] Dietrich
    My annulment of the engagement has you in
    such despair that you don't know what to do.
[17:29] Dietrich
    You've been walking, wandering, heartbroken.
[17:32] Dietrich
    I can tell that much with a single glance!
[17:35] Dietrich
    Your dress is covered in mud,
    and you have wounds all over your body.
[17:38] Dietrich
    To think that the grief of an engagement
    broken reduced you to such a state—
[17:41] Rishe
    Are you stupid?
[17:43] Dietrich
    What?
[17:44] Rishe
    Grief does not dirty a dress.
[17:46] Rishe
    More importantly, I am not sad that
    you have broken our engagement.
[17:50] Dietrich
    Wh-What?!
[17:52] woman 1
    Has the crown prince been
    spurned by Lady Rishe?
[17:56] man
    But Lady Rishe wasn't the one
    who broke the engagement, was she?
[18:00] woman 1
    Still, the crown prince looks
    more hurt than she does to me.
[18:05] man
    You're right!
[18:06] Dietrich
    You there! You're being disrespectful!
[18:08] Dietrich
    The nerve of you peasants!
[18:09] Rishe
    I am truly glad I did not have to spend
    any of my lives married to this person.
[18:15] Rishe
    Your Royal Highness, you are meant
    to protect and cherish your people.
[18:19] Rishe
    You mustn't speak like you just did.
[18:21] Dietrich
    You are the one who needs
    to correct their demeanor.
[18:24] Dietrich
    Don't you have any intention
    of asking for my forgiveness?
[18:26] Rishe
    No. Not the slightest.
[18:28] Rishe
    In fact, I'm filled with gratitude
    to you for breaking our engagement.
[18:31] Dietrich
    What?!
[18:33] Dietrich
    Don't laugh at me!
[18:36] Marie
    That's right! You're so mean, Lady Rishe!
[18:39] Marie
    Please, don't hurt my precious Prince
    Dietrich any more than you already have!
[18:44] Rishe
    Lady Marie?
[18:45] Dietrich
    Rishe, you bullied my darling
    Marie and made her cry, didn't you?
[18:49] Dietrich
    I've heard all about it!
[18:51] Dietrich
    Did you think that a woman as
    twisted as you could become queen?
[18:58] Rishe
    Please, rest at ease.
[19:01] Rishe
    I will obey your decree regarding
    our broken engagement.
[19:04] Rishe
    I will never again show
    myself before either of you.
[19:09] Dietrich
    What?!
[19:11] Rishe
    Ever since I was a child, I believed that
    my position as fiancée to the crown prince
[19:15] Rishe
    was all that gave my life worth.
[19:18] Rishe
    But I was mistaken.
[19:20] Rishe
    I can find my worth myself.
[19:22] Rishe
    Now that I know that, I have all I need.
[19:25] Dietrich
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[19:31] Rishe
    I do not require your presence in my life.
[19:37] Marie
    Prince Dietrich!
[19:39] Marie
    You're so mean, Lady Rishe!
[19:41] Rishe
    Lady Marie.
[19:43] Rishe
    Whatever lies you may tell to frame me,
    I hold no anger toward you.
[19:49] Rishe
    Your marriage to His Royal Highness
    is for your family's sake, isn't it?
[19:52] Marie
    How do you know that?
[19:55] Rishe
    But please don't forget.
[19:57] Rishe
    If your future isn't one you wish for yourself,
    then there isn't any point to it.
[20:01] Marie
    One I wish for?
[20:04] Rishe
    Finding happiness for your family,
    and finding happiness for yourself...
[20:09] Rishe
    You should be able to do both at once.
[20:11] Rishe
    Please lead a life where both you
    and your family can keep smiling.
[20:21] Rishe
    Now, the nuisance will remove herself.
[20:25] Marie
    Lady Rishe!
[20:26] Rishe
    All I have is the clothes on my back,
    just as I did in my first life.
[20:27] Dietrich; background
    Stop, Rishe!
[20:28] Dietrich; background
    Hey, knights! Apprehend Rishe!
[20:30] Rishe
    Now, where shall I go from here?
[20:30] knights
    Sir!
[20:33] knight 1
    Um, Lady Rishe? If you could
    wait for just a moment...
[20:47] Arnold
    As I thought. It seems you're
    quite the sword master.
[20:50] Arnold
    Where did you learn those sword skills?
[20:54] Rishe
    Arnold Hein.
[20:56] Rishe
    It's a secret.
[20:58] Rishe
    And my skills are not so great as
    to be deserving of praise from you.
[21:02] Rishe
    You were holding back with
    that strike, weren't you?
[21:08] Dietrich
    Hey, who are you? Get away from Rishe!
[21:11] Rishe
    Everyone, remain as you are!
[21:13] Rishe
    We mustn't move aggressively against
    the crown prince of Galkhein.
[21:17] Deitrich
    The crown prince of Galkhein?!
[21:20] man 2
    The beast of a prince said to have single-
    handedly annihilated a troop of knights?
[21:25] woman 1
    Stop that! You'll be killed, too!
[21:28] Rishe
    Prince Arnold, may I ask
    what brings you here?
[21:32] Rishe
    I assume you didn't draw
    your sword just for sport.
[21:36] Arnold
    That's right.
[21:38] Rishe
    My sixth life ended at the hands of this man.
[21:42] Rishe
    One day, he will cause a war
    that will envelop the whole world.
[21:46] Rishe
    The war that causes my death.
[21:57] Rishe
    What?
[21:58] Rishe
    What are you doing?
[22:04] Arnold
    I apologize for my sudden discourtesy.
[22:07] Arnold
    I have something I wish to ask of you.
[22:09] Arnold
    Would you please...
[22:12] Arnold
    do me the honor of becoming my wife?
[22:17] Rishe
    What?

[00:02] Arnold
    I apologize for my sudden discourtesy.
[00:05] Arnold
    I have something I wish to ask of you.
[00:07] Arnold
    Would you please...
[00:10] Arnold
    do me the honor of becoming my wife?
[00:15] Rishe
    What? Your wife?
[00:17] Arnold
    Yes.
[00:18] Rishe
    Me, become your wife?
[00:20] Arnold
    That's right.
[00:27] Rishe
    I respectfully decline.
[00:34] Rishe; internal
    Why?
[00:36] Rishe; internal
    Why is he laughing like
    he's really enjoying this?
[02:11] Dietrich
    Th-The Crown Prince of Galkhein
    proposed marriage to Rishe?!
[02:17] Rishe; internal
    The man who killed me is proposing to me?
[02:21] Rishe; internal
    It doesn't make sense. I don't
    understand what his aims are.
[02:31] crowd 1
    It's the king!
[02:32] crowd 2
    Why is the king here?
[02:33] crowd 3
    Your Majesty!
[02:34] Dietrich
    Father!
[02:35] Dietrich
    Why would you come all this way—
[02:39] Rishe
    Your Majesty?
[02:39] Dietrich; background
    F-Father! The stones...
[02:40] king
    Prince Arnold, my idiot son has
    shown you unthinkable rudeness!
[02:41] Dietrich; background
    The stones are digging into my face!
[02:43] Dietrich; background
    F-Father, I, um...
[02:43] king
    Lady Rishe, I truly apologize for
    the matter of the broken engagement.
[02:44] Dietrich; background
    M-My beautiful face is going
    to be full of stones...
[02:47] king
    I offer you my heartfelt apologies.
[02:49] king
    I believe you have heard
    Prince Arnold's intentions,
[02:51] king
    but I ask it of you as well.
[02:51] Dietrich; background
    They're going to leave scars.
[02:59] Arnold
    This trifling matter will cause no discord
     in the friendship between our nations.
[03:04] Arnold
    But if at all possible, I would ask
     for some time to speak with her.
[03:10] king
    P-Please go with him, Lady Rishe.
[03:11] Dietrich; background
    Ow!
[03:13] Arnold
    Should you refuse, I will simply
    proceed to the next tactic.
[03:21] Rishe
    What exactly are you plotting?
[03:23] Arnold
    Nothing.
[03:25] Arnold
    I've fallen completely in
    love with you, that's all.
[03:27] Rishe
    Fallen in...
[03:28] Arnold
    With your engagement broken, you no longer
    have anyone backing you, correct?
[03:34] Rishe; internal
    He's right. In my first life, I
    would have leaped at this chance.
[03:39] Rishe; internal
    But as I am now... I know that
    life holds infinite opportunities.
[03:45] Rishe; internal
    Still...
[03:46] Rishe; internal
    The Savage Emperor. The Invader.
[03:50] Rishe; internal
    In all of the lives I've lived,
    he's instigated a war.
[03:56] Rishe; internal
    Why would he do such a thing?
[03:58] Rishe; internal
    If I stay by his side,
    will I learn the reason?
[04:02] Rishe
    You say that you've fallen in love with me.
[04:05] Arnold
    That's why I proposed marriage.
[04:07] Rishe
    Then will you agree to a few
    selfish requests of mine?
[04:11] Arnold
    If it lies within my power, I swear that
    I shall make your every wish come true.
[04:15] Rishe
    First, everything needed
    for the marriage ceremony
[04:18] Rishe
    will be procured through the
    trading company that I specify.
[04:21] Arnold
    As you like.
[04:23] Rishe
    After we are married, please provide a space
    where I may receive guests from other countries.
[04:27] Arnold
    As the wife of the crown prince, you would
    be asked to do such things in any case.
[04:30] Rishe
    I would prefer to live
    separately from the emperor.
[04:33] Arnold
    If it's for you, I would do anything.
[04:36] Rishe
    Lastly, I have one more very important point.
[04:41] Rishe
    I will absolutely laze around the castle!
[04:45] Rishe
    I will loaf about, idle my days
    away, and do no work at all!
[04:51] Rishe
    Oh. Additionally, I request that you
    lay not a single finger on me, please.
[05:36] Rishe
    What do you mean to do with that hand?
[05:39] Rishe
    You promised, didn't you? I asked you
    not to lay a single finger on me.
[05:45] Arnold
    Don't regard me with such contempt.
[05:47] Arnold
    I was simply trying to retrieve
    that which you took from me.
[05:55] Rishe
    I'm so terribly sorry!
[05:59] Arnold
    Slumped over with a sword for support...
    I'm amazed you could sleep like that.
[06:05] Rishe; internal
    To think that I used the sword that
    impaled me in place of a pillow...
[06:09] Arnold
    It's incredible that you sensed
    me without my touching you.
[06:12] Arnold
    To reach such a level, you
    must have trained quite a lot.
[06:17] Rishe
    Y-Yes, I did.
[06:24] Arnold
    I've invited the trading company
     you selected for a meeting.
[06:28] Rishe
    Thank you.
[06:30] Arnold
    The Aria Trading Company.
[06:33] Arnold
    There's been talk of that company lately.
[06:36] Arnold
    Do you patronize them regularly?
[06:38] Rishe
    No. I've simply heard that
    they procure very fine goods.
[06:43] Rishe; internal
    I want to interact with them as
    soon as possible in this life, too.
[06:51] Rishe; internal
    The devastating power of
    incredibly good looks...
[06:55] Arnold
    What is it?
[06:55] Rishe
    Oh! It's nothi—
[06:58] knight A
    Stop the horses!
[06:59] Kamil
    Enemy attack!
[07:09] Rishe
    Um, I—
[07:10] Arnold
    You stay here and behave.
[07:15] Rishe
    There are knights here. Why
    would he go to fight himself?
[07:21] Rishe
    He told me to behave, but...
[07:42] Arnold
    Finished already?
[07:46] Arnold
    And when I took the trouble
    to face you by myself, too.
[07:50] Arnold
    This didn't even serve to stave off boredom.
[07:55] Arnold
    Arrest the brigands.
[07:57] Arnold
    Those with nothing else
    to do, see to the wounded.
[07:59] knights
    Sir!
[08:03] Rishe; internal
    He hasn't killed them.
[08:05] Rishe; internal
    Not a single one of them.
[08:08] Dennis
    What's wrong, Kamil?
[08:10] Oliver
    Hurry!
[08:13] Dennis
    Are you all right? Hey!
[08:15] Rishe
    Is something wrong?
[08:16] Kamil
    My body... feels numb.
[08:26] Arnold
    Poison, is it?
[08:27] Arnold
    Tie off a spot between the wound and the heart immediately, then suck the poison out.
[08:31] knight C
    Sir!
[08:32] Rishe; internal
    A scent like that of an overripe apple...
[08:35] Rishe; internal
    This is an anesthetic made of shea
    grass and bluecap rock mushrooms.
[08:38] Arnold
    It's likely something that
    hunters in this area use.
[08:41] Arnold
    While it won't be fatal, the effect
    will last for several days.
[08:45] Oliver
    It will take another two
    days to reach Galkhein.
[08:48] Oliver
    If we look after them as we travel, then...
[08:51] Arnold
    We passed a hunting settlement along the way.
[08:53] Arnold
    We'll return there and procure the antidote.
[08:55] Rishe
    Excuse me.
[08:57] Rishe
    I can make an antidote.
[09:00] Oliver
    What?
[09:02] Rishe
    It's lucky that I'm able to make
    this with the plants I have on hand.
[09:05] Rishe
    It's actually more effective if it's boiled,
[09:09] Rishe
    but as haste is needed here, let's use this.
[09:20] Rishe; internal
    Could it be that they're suspicious of me?
[09:29] Arnold
    Hey!
[09:31] Arnold
    What are you doing?
[09:32] Rishe
    It's all right. Please don't worry.
[09:35] Rishe
    This antidote is made of liquori grass
    and luqua flowers with some carilya nuts.
[09:40] Rishe
    Please, make your decision. Will
    you use this medicine right now,
[09:44] Rishe
    or will you endure that numbness
    for the next few days?
[09:47] Rishe
    Right, Your Highness?
[09:51] Oliver
    I'm glad that nothing terrible happened.
[09:54] Oliver
    That aside, for what purpose do you
    suppose that you have guards with you?
[09:58] Arnold
    Rather than sustaining losses by having
    knights fight off the battlefield,
[10:02] Arnold
    stepping in myself better protects
    our national interests.
[10:05] Arnold
    And we did, in fact, sustain casualties.
[10:07] Oliver
    You say that with the benefit of hindsight.
[10:09] Oliver
    And the fact that you brought
    Lady Rishe out here with you...
[10:12] Arnold
    That was not my doing.
[10:19] Arnold
    So, the flowers weren't simply to
    look at, they were for practical use.
[10:24] Arnold
    How did you get out of the carriage?
[10:26] Rishe
    It's a secret.
[10:31] Rishe; internal
    In my life as a maid,
[10:32] Rishe; internal
    my lady would often lock
    herself in her rooms,
[10:35] Rishe; internal
    and every time, I'd have to unlock the doors.
[10:47] Rishe; internal
    Is he a child staring at a line of ants?
[10:51] Rishe
    Is there something on your mind?
[10:53] Arnold
    I have no hidden purpose. I was simply
    thinking that you are unfathomable.
[10:58] Arnold
    What means will you use
    to entertain me next?
[11:02] Arnold
    I'm beside myself with anticipation.
[11:04] Rishe; internal
    He speaks of me as though
    I'm some rare beast.
[11:08] Rishe
    I'm not doing this for
    Your Highness' amusement.
[11:11] Arnold
    I know.
[11:15] Arnold
    One of the knights you pressured
    into your threat-like choice
[11:20] Arnold
    is someone who once lived in the slums.
[11:23] Arnold
    Galkhein extols itself as a meritocracy,
[11:25] Arnold
    but there are many who are unfairly
    judged due to their origins.
[11:29] Arnold
    Even so, he has never caved
    to outside pressures.
[11:31] Arnold
    He worked hard and became a knight.
[11:34] Arnold
    The knight with the worst case of numbness
     hasn't been assigned here for very long.
[11:38] Arnold
    He trained himself night and day
    for the sake of this mission.
[11:43] Arnold
    The older knight was trying to protect that
    newer knight and was injured alongside him.
[11:47] Arnold
    He's a man who excels
    at looking after others.
[11:49] Rishe
    You know quite a lot about the knights.
[11:53] Arnold
    Because I've chosen all
    of them as my retainers.
[12:04] Arnold
    I thank you for saving them.
[12:12] Rishe; internal
    I don't understand anything anymore.
[12:15] Rishe; internal
    Is this a false face of his?
[12:17] Rishe; internal
    Or is it...
[12:21] Rishe
    I simply made use of
    knowledge I happen to have.
[12:25] Arnold
    A noble lady who happens to have knowledge
    of herbalism? There can't be many of those.
[12:30] Rishe
    Now that I think of it, why
    were the knights so wary of me?
[12:35] Arnold
    They heard that you are a lady
    whose engagement has been broken.
[12:38] Arnold
    They've likely wondered what
    sort of villainess I'm marrying
[12:41] Arnold
    and have all sorts of notions.
[12:42] Rishe
    I see.
[12:44] Rishe
    Then, what did you say when you told
    His Majesty the Emperor about me?
[12:49] Arnold
    "She's from a ducal house with
    connections to the royal family,"
[12:52] Arnold
    "and was fiancée to the crown prince."
[12:54] Arnold
    "She's taken my fancy, so I've stolen
    her." That's what I told him.
[12:56] Rishe
    Stolen?
[12:58] Arnold
    Because the empress must be from the
    royal family of another country.
[13:02] Rishe
    You mean... a hostage.
[13:05] Arnold
    In Galkhein, there may be those
    who behave rudely toward you.
[13:11] Arnold
    If the worst happens, I will—
[13:13] Rishe
    But that's splendid!
[13:15] Arnold
    What is?
[13:16] Rishe
    If I'm treated as a hostage, then I won't
    be brought out for official duties, will I?
[13:21] Arnold
    Well, I suppose not.
[13:23] Rishe
    Wonderful! That means I might
    actually be able to laze around!
[13:26] Rishe
    Thank you, Your Highness!
[13:28] Arnold
    It's nothing.
[13:29] Rishe
    Oh, and while I'm thinking of it, you were
    about to take my hand earlier, weren't you?
[13:34] Arnold
    That was unavoidable.
[13:36] Rishe
    A promise is a promise.
[13:45] Rishe; internal
    Possessing fertile land
    and abundant resources,
[13:48] Rishe; internal
    Galkhein influences every
    nation in the world.
[13:52] Rishe; internal
    In all of my previous lives,
[13:54] Rishe; internal
    it is the only country I've never visited.
[13:59] Rishe
    So this is the imperial capital!
[14:39] Rishe
    Is something the matter?
[14:42] Arnold
    Preparations of the imperial
    villa have been delayed.
[14:44] Arnold
    I'm sorry, but today you'll be
    staying in a room for noble guests.
[14:47] Rishe
    There's no need for such considerations.
    I will be quite happy in the villa.
[14:50] Arnold
    It hasn't been used in a long
    time. It's in a terrible state.
[14:54] Rishe
    I don't mind.
[14:55] Rishe
    Besides, I...
[14:57] Rishe
    am a hostage!
[14:59] Arnold
    Why do you seem proud of that?
[15:03] Rishe; internal
    This place certainly hasn't been used in
    quite some time. There's so much dust.
[15:12] Rishe
    Now then...
[15:14] Rishe
    Shall we begin?
[15:16] Rishe; internal
    The maid in me
    finds this quite exciting!
[15:19] Kamil
    Excuse me, Lady Rishe?
[15:20] Kamil
    Is there anything that we might help with?
[15:24] Rishe
    I couldn't possibly ask my guards to clean.
[15:27] Kamil
    Then, at least allow us
    to carry in the furniture.
[15:30] Rishe
    Thank you so much!
[15:42] Rishe; internal
    A few years from now, Arnold Hein
    will kill his father, the emperor.
[15:47] Rishe; internal
    Then, the war will begin.
[15:50] Rishe; internal
    There may not be much point to it,
[15:52] Rishe; internal
    but I'd like to keep him
    away from his father.
[15:56] Rishe; internal
    Why did he wage war against the world?
[16:00] Rishe; internal
    In all of my lives, the cause of my death
[16:03] Rishe; internal
    has always been connected to
    the war started by Arnold Hein.
[16:10] Rishe
    I am firmly opposed to war!
[16:12] Rishe
    If only it weren't for that war!
[16:13] Rishe
    And here's to a long life spent lazing around comfortably and without care!
[16:17] Laura
    Are you seeing this?
[16:19] Laura
    The novice is working so hard.
[16:21] Diana
    No matter how hard you try, it won't work!
[16:24] Diana
    We'll be chosen to be Her Highness
    the Crown Princess' maids.
[16:29] Rishe
    Are you all right?
[16:31] Elsie
    Yes.
[16:31] Laura
    I haven't seen you before.
[16:32] Maya
    She must be new. Look at
    how pretty her hands are.
[16:35] Diana
    Unfortunately for you, the only ones
    capable of serving the crown princess
[16:39] Diana
    are us, with our three years of
    experience working in the palace.
[16:42] Rishe
    Can you stand?
[16:43] Diana
    Hey!
[16:44] Laura
    Listen when we're speaking to you.
[16:45] Maya
    If you intend to work as a lady's maid,
    learn to respect those with more experience.
[16:49] Rishe
    Those curtains. It would be better
    not to start washing them now.
[16:53] Maya
    What?
[16:54] Laura
    The days are long in the spring.
    There's enough time for them to dry.
[16:56] Rishe
    There will be a little rain later.
[16:59] Diana
    What makes you so certain?
[17:01] Rishe
    The type of clouds. The
    birds are flying low, too.
[17:05] Rishe
    If you wash large articles now,
    it might make more work later.
[17:09] Maya
    Nothing a novice like you says
    could possibly be accurate.
[17:13] Diana
    Enough of this. Let's go.
[17:15] Laura
    This nice weather is definitely
    going to last all day.
[17:18] Rishe
    Are you hurt anywhere?
[17:20] Elsie
    No.
[17:21] Elsie
    Thank you... very much.
[17:24] Elsie
    My name is Elsie. Thank you for saving me.
[17:31] Rishe
    That's gotten dirty, hasn't it...
[17:34] Elsie
    And when they were kind enough
    to provide me with it, too.
[17:37] Rishe
    It will be all right if
    we wash it right away.
[17:40] Elsie
    What?
[17:41] Rishe
    I did say that it would rain,
    but that fabric dries quickly.
[17:44] Rishe
    Mud gets deep between the threads,
[17:48] Rishe
    so please try tapping at it
    with this brush to wash it.
[17:51] Elsie
    Who are you?
[17:55] Rishe
    Come! We have to hurry
    before it starts raining!
[18:10] Rishe; internal
    Traveling to see every
    country in the world...
[18:14] Rishe; internal
    That was the dream I had
    when I was a merchant.
[18:17] Rishe; internal
    In lifetime after lifetime, I
    tried to fulfill that dream,
[18:21] Rishe; internal
    but it never came true.
[18:24] Rishe; internal
    And now, the one country I
    was never able to visit...
[18:28] Rishe; internal
    I've finally managed to make it here!
[18:43] Rishe
    Should you really be doing this?
[18:45] Rishe
    Slipping away in the middle
    of your official duties?
[18:47] Arnold
    Truly, you surprise me every time we meet.
[18:50] Arnold
    I've suppressed my presence.
[18:53] Arnold
    To think that you could
    sense me at such a distance.
[18:55] Rishe
    That wasn't kind of you.
[18:57] Rishe
    I know you adjusted the strength of your
     presence, testing to see when I would notice.
[19:04] Arnold
    What were you looking at?
[19:06] Rishe
    The city.
[19:08] Rishe
    What's that large building over there?
[19:11] Arnold
    A library.
[19:12] Arnold
    Books gathered from every other country
    are held there for safekeeping.
[19:15] Rishe
    Every country?
[19:17] Rishe
    And that beautiful little tower over there?
[19:19] Arnold
    A church.
[19:21] Arnold
    It also serves as a clock tower.
[19:23] Arnold
    Its bells ring at appointed times.
[19:25] Rishe
    Oh, how lovely!
[19:27] Rishe
    And there's a large marketplace
    over there, isn't there?
[19:29] Arnold
    It's the largest shopping street
    in the imperial capital.
[19:33] Arnold
    The stalls there handle wares that
    they receive just that morning.
[19:35] Rishe
    How splendid!
[19:37] Rishe
    Then, Your Highness, what
    about that pretty—
[19:41] Rishe
    Wh-What is it?
[19:43] Arnold
    I was wondering what you
    find so entertaining.
[19:46] Arnold
    You were pressured into a marriage
    to one of this country's royals.
[19:49] Arnold
    Would it really inspire such curiosity?
[19:52] Rishe
    It's something I've longed for.
[19:55] Arnold
    Longed for?
[19:57] Rishe
    I've wanted to come to this
    country for a very long time.
[20:01] Rishe
    The final push that made
    me agree to the marriage
[20:04] Rishe
    might have been the admiration
    that I've felt for this country.
[20:07] Arnold
    This country doesn't possess anything
    worth your admiration or longing.
[20:11] Rishe
    That's not true.
[20:12] Rishe
    Even in the information you just gave me...
[20:14] Rishe
    There are so many fascinating places here!
[20:17] Rishe
    And the faces of people in town shine
    so brightly! And there's also—
[20:22] Rishe
    Have I said something strange?
[20:25] Arnold
    I've never seen a person like you before.
[20:28] Arnold
    The substance of your statements, your
    knowledge, your physical ability...
[20:32] Arnold
    A simple nobleman's daughter would
    have no need of such things.
[20:37] (Flashback) Rishe's mom
    You've been born to a duke's family.
    Your personal feelings are unnecessary.
[20:42] (Flashback) Rishe
    But, Mother!
[20:43] (Flashback) Rishe's mom
    Your happiness lies in marrying into
    the royal family and bearing an heir.
[20:47] (Flashback) Rishe
    There are things I wish to learn!
[20:49] (Flashback) Rishe's mom
    If you have enough knowledge to maintain
    appearances in social situations, that is enough.
[20:53] (Flashback) Rishe's mom
    Focus on the homemaking arts,
    not academic study.
[20:58] Rishe
    Even if others may deem
    such things unnecessary,
[21:01] Rishe
    I treasure every single one of them.
[21:04] Rishe
    They are riches which I will never lose,
[21:08] Rishe
    and each is a precious piece of my life.
[21:14] Rishe
    Whether something has
    value or not in my life...
[21:17] Rishe
    I will decide that for myself!
[21:22] Arnold
    I know.
[21:32] Arnold
    You should do whatever you
    wish, without constraints.
[21:36] Arnold
    I swear to support you in your wishes
     and continue to assist you.
[21:42] Rishe
    Why?
[21:44] Arnold
    I told you.
[21:45] Arnold
    I've fallen completely in love with you.
[21:47] Rishe; internal
    Lies, as usual.
[21:50] Arnold
    And these immeasurable abilities of yours...
[21:54] Arnold
    I don't find them pointless. I find them
    delightful, from the bottom of my heart.
[22:00] Arnold
    I thought I'd conveyed
    that much to you at least.
[22:08] Arnold
    Think of something you want.
[22:11] Arnold
    My agreement not to lay a finger on you.
[22:14] Arnold
    This time, I truly did break it.
[22:26] Rishe; internal
    I can't read him at all!
[22:28] Rishe; internal
    Arnold Hein...
[22:30] Rishe; internal
    what are you plotting?

[00:15] Oliver
    Lady Rishe, are you awake?
[00:18] Oliver
    I'm Prince Arnold's aide, Oliver.
[00:20] Rishe
    Y-Yes! Just a moment, please!
[00:27] Rishe
    Thank you for waiting.
[00:29] Oliver
    My apologies.
[00:30] Oliver
    This is the only time I could manage
    to get away from the prince's office.
[00:35] Rishe
    Then, you haven't managed any rest?
[00:38] Oliver
    I'm better off than others are.
[00:40] Oliver
    Prince Arnold hasn't managed even a nap.
[00:44] Oliver
    He's been hard-pressed to complete the work
    that accumulated while he was away in Hermity.
[00:48] Rishe
    I feel I should apologize.
[00:50] Oliver
    Not at all.
[00:51] Oliver
    The prince said he had no intention to marry,
[00:54] Oliver
    but through these events,
    he's found a lady to be his wife.
[01:02] Rishe
    Please look as much as you'd like.
[01:05] Oliver
    Pardon?
[01:06] Rishe
    You were examining me, weren't you?
[01:09] Oliver
    My apologies! That was terribly rude of me.
[01:12] Oliver
    Your insight is just as keen
    as the prince said it is.
[01:16] Rishe
    Master Oliver, your worry for
    His Highness truly is heartfelt.
[01:20] Rishe
    Have you been with him long?
[01:23] Oliver
    It's been ten years.
[01:25] Rishe
    If you've served him for that long,
[01:27] Rishe
    then would you know why he
    has decided to marry me?
[01:32] Oliver
    Well, to be honest, I'm
    surprised by it as well.
[01:37] Oliver
    However, I've never seen the prince so happy.
[01:41] Oliver
    When he's with you, Lady Rishe,
    his smile is so honest and open.
[01:45] Rishe
    I feel I'm being treated as some sort of toy.
[01:49] Rishe; internal
    He isn't denying it.
[01:52] Oliver
    I didn't mean to get
    absorbed in conversation.
[01:54] Oliver
    His Highness asked me to bring you a list of
    the honored guests for the wedding ceremony.
[01:59] Rishe
    Thank you.
[02:01] Rishe; internal
    Princess Harriet of Siguel.
[02:04] Rishe; internal
    Duke Jonal will be in attendance
    to represent the Kingdom of Domana.
[02:08] Rishe; internal
    And Prince Kyle of Coyolles...
[02:12] Oliver
    And this is a list of attendees
    for the party tomorrow evening.
[02:17] Rishe
    The party?
[04:05] Elsie
    Um, Miss Diana, where do these go?
[04:07] Diana
    Go and line them up the way I
    showed you yesterday please.
[04:11] Elsie
    But...
[04:11] Diana
    I'm in the middle of something right now.
[04:18] Rishe
    It's Rishe.
[04:20] Rishe
    Your Highness, may I have
    a moment of your time?
[04:23] Arnold
    Yes.
[04:29] Rishe
    Prince Arnold, I've come
    to beg something of you.
[04:32] Rishe
    You did tell me to think
    of something, didn't you?
[04:36] (Flashback) Arnold
    Think of something you want.
[04:39] (Flashback) Arnold
    My agreement not to lay a finger on you.
[04:41] (Flashback) Arnold
    This time, I truly did break it.
[04:44] Rishe
    Would it be possible to leave the
    selection of my maids to me?
[04:48] Arnold
    You can do as you like with that, but...
[04:56] Arnold
    It seems Oliver didn't tell you.
[04:59] Arnold
    This party tonight...
[05:01] Arnold
    It's meant to say, "The crown prince is
    looking for someone to marry from the empire."
[05:05] Arnold
    It's a pointless pretense
    held to keep up appearances.
[05:08] Rishe
    Your Highness,
[05:10] Rishe
    in this country, I am the crown
    princess only as a hostage.
[05:15] Rishe
    However, I find no dishonor in that.
[05:20] Rishe
    Please,
[05:21] Rishe
    feel free to formally reveal
    your fiancée at the party.
[05:29] Arnold
    I suppose I have no choice.
[05:30] Arnold
    Especially as I've received
    your permission to touch you.
[05:33] Rishe
    Well, we are both wearing gloves after all.
[05:55] Rishe
    This seems to be a much grander
    event than I'd anticipated.
[06:00] Arnold
    This is still on the smaller side.
[06:02] Rishe
    The standards of a large
    country are different.
[06:04] noble 1
    Prince Arnold!
[06:06] noble 1
    I was honored to receive an
    invitation to attend this evening!
[06:09] Arnold
    Thank you for coming.
[06:12] noble 2
    Your Highness, please tell my
    daughter stories of your travels.
[06:16] Arnold
    Unfortunately, there aren't any points
    worth speaking of on their own,
[06:21] Arnold
    but I did find good fortune on my trip.
[06:26] Arnold
    As you can see, I've found
    someone to be my wife.
[06:30] girl 2
    Did he say wife?
[06:31] girl 1
    His Highness is smiling!
[06:33] girl 2
    But he's never so much as
     glanced in our direction!
[06:36] noble 2
    Then, this beautiful lady is...
[06:40] Rishe; internal
    Curiosity, jealousy, ulterior motives...
[06:44] Rishe; internal
    Compared with having my engagement
    broken in front of everyone,
[06:48] Rishe; internal
    this feels like nothing at all.
[06:52] Rishe
    I am pleased to meet all of you.
[06:55] Rishe
    My name is Rishe Irmgard Weitzner.
[07:05] Arnold
    As my future wife has only just arrived from
    another country, she has no one to rely on here.
[07:09] Arnold
    I would like for you to help her.
[07:11] noble 1
    Of course we will!
[07:19] Rishe
    "Future wife"? There's no need to
    provoke the other ladies that way.
[07:24] Arnold
    It's better to make it
    apparent now, while we can.
[07:27] Rishe
    Make what apparent?
[07:29] Arnold
    The fact that I will protect
    you, no matter what happens.
[07:33] Rishe; internal
    Protect?
[07:35] Rishe; internal
    Did he just say "protect"?
[07:37] Rishe; internal
    Arnold Hein?
[07:39] Rishe; internal
    The man who killed me?
[07:43] Rishe
    Your Highness is probably the
    one who is most dangerous to me.
[07:46] Arnold
    In what sense?
[07:49] Rishe
    Well, I don't think I could
    match you in swordplay.
[07:53] Arnold
    It might be worthwhile for me to
    try sparring with you one day.
[07:56] Rishe
    I would like that very much!
[07:59] Rishe
    And I know it's asking a lot, but I'd
    love to receive training from you!
[08:04] Arnold
    You always reply in ways
    that exceed my expectations.
[08:08] Rishe; internal
    I may learn the attack method behind
    that fearsome sword technique.
[08:15] Arnold
    No need to force yourself to dance.
[08:17] Rishe
    Oh, but as I'm here anyway,
    I would like to enjoy myself.
[08:40] Rishe; internal
    This closeness...
[08:41] Rishe; internal
    It takes me back to that moment.
[08:53] Rishe; internal
    Perhaps I'll try playing
    a little trick on him.
[08:56] Rishe; internal
    If I take the lead, what will he do?
[09:03] Rishe; internal
    Then, what about this?
[09:11] Rishe; internal
    He looks like he'd like to say, "No
    matter what you do, it's no use."
[09:22] Rishe; internal
    He's so close, but he hasn't
    crossed over into my space at all.
[09:31] Rishe; internal
    Wait...
[09:32] Rishe; internal
    Now that I think about it, he's been...
[09:38] Rishe; internal
    No. Back then, too, the whole time, he was...
[09:55] Rishe; internal
    I'm going to fall!
[10:05] noble 1
    That was splendid!
[10:07] noble 2
    The two of you were perfectly
    in step with each other!
[10:09] noble 1
    It was as though I was
    watching a sword dance!
[10:23] Cornelia
    Lady Rishe?
[10:25] Cornelia
    Your dance earlier was quite lovely.
[10:29] Rishe
    Thank you.
[10:31] Cornelia
    If you'd like, please accept this wine.
[10:37] Rishe
    Thank you, I will.
[10:43] Rishe; internal
    That's the aroma of crushed red peppers.
[10:46] Rishe; internal
    To think they'd play pranks with food.
[10:48] Rishe
    This wine has an unusually striking aroma.
[10:51] Rishe
    It's quite intriguing.
[10:53] Cornelia
    Are you displeased with
    the wine I've brought you?
[11:02] Rishe
    As I thought, it has a
    very stimulating flavor.
[11:07] Rishe
    It makes me very happy to have
    been welcomed in such a way.
[11:12] Cornelia
    Let's go.
[11:22] Rishe
    That's spicy.
[11:23] Arnold
    Spicy?
[11:25] Rishe
    Your Highness.
[11:27] Rishe
    This wine has peppers in
    it. It's a special blend.
[11:31] Arnold
    You should just throw that away.
[11:33] Rishe
    No. This wine has lost its chance
    to be enjoyed for its flavor.
[11:38] Rishe
    The least I can do for it is to drink it all.
[11:44] Rishe
    What? Wait!
[11:46] Arnold
    Spicy indeed.
[11:47] Rishe
    I did say so, didn't I?
[11:49] Arnold
    Has this fulfilled your duty to this wine?
[11:53] Rishe
    Yes.
[11:55] Rishe
    Thank you.
[11:58] Arnold
    What were you thinking
    about during our dance?
[12:00] Rishe
    What?
[12:01] Arnold
    You were thinking of someone
     other than me, weren't you?
[12:12] Rishe; internal
    I can't tell him it was his future self.
[12:17] Rishe
    I was worried for your health, Your Highness.
[12:23] Rishe
    This spot...
[12:24] Rishe
    You've been wounded there, haven't you?
[12:29] Rishe; internal
    The movement of his left shoulder is
    slightly clumsier than that of his right.
[12:35] Rishe; internal
    It was back then, too.
[12:45] Arnold
    It's an old wound.
[12:46] Arnold
    It runs all the way along
    the top of my shoulder.
[12:48] Arnold
    There's a spot where it
    slightly constricts my skin.
[12:53] Rishe
    How horrible.
[12:55] Rishe; internal
    It's a very old scar.
[12:58] Rishe; internal
    He was struck with a blade over
    and over... with killing intent.
[13:03] Arnold
    Only a few people know about this scar.
[13:06] Arnold
    And no one has ever guessed at its existence.
[13:09] Rishe
    Why do you have a scar like this?
[13:15] Arnold
    The night wind has grown colder.
[13:39] Nichole
    Do you think the lady's
    maids will be chosen soon?
[13:42] Elsie
    Yes.
[13:43] Nichole
    But with the way things are,
    we probably won't be chosen.
[13:50] Diana
    Haven't you finished yet?
[13:52] Nichole
    I-I'm sorry, Miss Diana!
[13:54] Elsie
    I'm sorry.
[13:55] Diana
    And those sheets this morning
     weren't folded the way I taught you.
[13:59] Diana
    With skills like that, you'll never be
    chosen as the crown princess's maids.
[14:03] Rishe
    I'll help you.
[14:07] Maya
    You again?
[14:09] Diana
    I don't know which group you belong to,
[14:11] Diana
    but I'm amazed that you have
    the time to help others.
[14:14] Diana
    And all of you, finish that up quickly.
[14:18] Diana
    It seems that the tablecloths
    for the villa will arrive today.
[14:21] Diana
    If we help with that, I'm certain
    we'll be valued more highly.
[14:25] Diana
    Let's go. Maya? Laura?
[14:27] Maya; Laura
    Yes.
[14:30] Elsie
    I'm sorry. We're just so
    bad at remembering things.
[14:34] Rishe
    You haven't been at the
    palace very long, have you?
[14:38] Rishe
    No one gets everything
    right in the beginning.
[14:41] Rishe; internal
    And it isn't that Elsie and the
    others are unused to doing laundry.
[14:45] Rishe; internal
    They're completing their work. It's
    just taking longer, that's all.
[14:49] Rishe; internal
    In that, Diana is right.
[14:52] Rishe; internal
    But the cause of it is very clear.
[14:54] Rishe
    Have you heard anything about Miss
    Diana's life from before she came here?
[14:59] Elsie
    I think I heard that she's from a
    wealthy family that has several shops.
[15:03] Nichole
    I've heard that, too.
[15:05] Nichole
    But they lost it all because
    they went into debt.
[15:09] Rishe
    I see.
[15:18] Diana
    It's sparklingly clean.
[15:20] Diana
    When did that happen?
[15:21] Diana
    I wonder who did the cleaning here.
[15:24] Maya
    And that girl who always turns
    up uninvited isn't here, is she?
[15:28] Laura
    An upstart newcomer like her?
[15:29] Laura
    Of course she wouldn't be here.
[15:31] Diana
    Indeed. To serve the crown princess,
    manners are absolutely essential.
[15:36] Nichole
    My heart's pounding. Is yours?
[15:38] Elsie
    Yes.
[15:38] Nichole
    What do you think the crown princess is like?
[15:43] Oliver
    Lady Rishe is here.
[16:11] Rishe
    I am Rishe Irmgard Weitzner.
[16:17] Rishe; internal
    I'm sorry.
[16:19] Rishe; internal
    I wanted to learn the truth
    about your situations,
[16:21] Rishe; internal
    and I thought that speaking to you as a
    fellow maid was the best way to do it.
[16:25] Rishe
    Now, I will read off some names.
[16:29] Rishe
    Miss Marguerite.
[16:30] Rishe
    Miss Elsie.
[16:32] Rishe
    Miss Nichole.
[16:34] Rishe
    Miss Rosa.
[16:35] Rishe
    Miss Hilde.
[16:36] Rishe
    Miss Amelia.
[16:38] Rishe
    These people will be my maids.
[16:41] Diana
    What?
[16:42] Rishe
    I look forward to getting to know you better.
[16:44] Oliver
    Now, everyone whose names
    have been called, come to—
[16:47] Diana
    But why, Lady Rishe?
[16:48] Diana
    Everyone you've chosen is new!
[16:51] Diana
    We have more experience as maids!
[16:53] Oliver
    Disrespectful.
[16:53] Rishe
    It's all right.
[16:56] Diana
    Yes, what I am saying is disrespectful!
[16:58] Diana
    But please look at our
    abilities as maids!
[17:02] Rishe
    Miss Diana.
[17:03] Diana
    Yes?
[17:04] Rishe
    As of today, you will no longer
    hold the position of maid.
[17:07] Diana
    What?
[17:09] Diana
    But that's...
[17:14] Rishe
    Say, Diana? When you
    first came to the palace,
[17:18] Rishe
    can you remember what you
    had the most trouble with?
[17:21] Rishe
    Were you able to complete your work the
    way you do now right from the start?
[17:25] Diana
    No. In the beginning...
[17:28] Diana
    it was difficult for me to
    understand how things were done.
[17:31] Diana
    I couldn't remember after
    being told only once.
[17:35] Diana
    But everyone who had been
    there longer was so busy.
[17:37] Diana
    They'd say, "I don't have time to
    teach you, so watch and remember."
[17:42] Diana
    Even so, I've grown into a
    very competent maid!
[17:45] Diana
    I'm not like those girls!
[17:47] Rishe
    You're right. There is one way in which
    you are very different from those girls.
[17:52] Diana
    What?
[17:53] Rishe
    You can read and write.
[17:58] Rishe
    You were born into a merchant's family
    and received a good education,
[18:02] Rishe
    but there are very few ordinary people
    who have had the same sort of education.
[18:06] Rishe
    You could write down what those with more
    experience told you and read it again later.
[18:12] Rishe
    But what if you hadn't been able do that?
[18:16] (Flashback) Diana
    Go and line them up the way I
    showed you yesterday please.
[18:19] (Flashback) Elsie
    But...
[18:21] (Flashback) Diana
    And those sheets this morning
     weren't folded the way I taught you.
[18:27] Diana
    When my family went bankrupt, we lost
    everything. There was no one to protect me.
[18:33] Diana
    Even so, I made myself into a lady's maid.
[18:36] Diana
    I kept wondering, why
    couldn't all of you do it?
[18:40] Diana
    But it's because I didn't teach you properly.
[18:47] Diana
    I'm sorry.
[18:49] Diana
    I was the one in the wrong.
[18:52] Diana
    I'm really so very sorry.
[18:56] Nichole
    Lady Rishe, Miss Diana is very skilled,
    and she always works her hardest!
[18:59] Elsie
    Please don't make her quit.
[19:02] Diana
    Thank you, but it only makes
    sense that I wasn't chosen.
[19:07] Elsie
    Miss Diana...
[19:14] Rishe
    There's something I'd like to ask of you.
[19:17] Rishe
    I'd like to make this villa into
    a training ground for new maids.
[19:22] Rishe
    While they're learning household skills,
    I'd also like them to learn their letters.
[19:27] Rishe
    If they learn to read and
    write along with their work,
[19:30] Rishe
    wherever they go, whatever their situation,
    it will be an asset to them.
[19:33] Rishe
    Even if they find they must begin a whole
    new life, it's sure to prove useful.
[19:38] Rishe
    Diana, I'd like for you to help me
    create their teaching materials.
[19:43] Diana
    Me?
[19:46] Diana
    Even though I said all of
    those disrespectful things?
[19:50] Rishe
    Why, whatever could you be speaking of?
[19:52] Rishe
    Will you help me?
[19:55] Diana
    Yes, it would be my pleasure.
[20:00] Albert
    I see.
[20:01] Oliver
    Is it as you predicted?
[20:03] Albert
    Of course not.
[20:05] Albert
    Though I did think she'd
    create some sort of havoc.
[20:08] Oliver
    Showing your amusement too openly is
    disrespectful toward your future wife.
[20:12] Oliver
    Though, I may end up
    enjoying myself as well...
[20:15] Oliver
    wondering what sorts of things she
    will accomplish in this country.
[20:19] Arnold
    Oliver.
[20:21] Arnold
    I didn't bring Rishe here to be my wife to
    benefit the imperial family or the nation.
[20:27] Diana
    As for the first words they'll learn, what
    do you think about cleaning implements?
[20:31] Diana
    Since they're used every day,
[20:33] Diana
    I thought everyone might be able to
    see how useful it is to memorize them.
[20:36] Rishe
    Yes, I think that's a very good idea.
[20:38] Diana
    Thank you.
[20:41] Diana
    Lady Rishe...
[20:42] Diana
    Thinking of the best ways to
    teach everyone is so much fun!
[20:47] Rishe
    I'm glad to hear that.
[20:51] Elsie
    Excuse me.
[20:52] Elsie
    Lady Rishe, you must get ready soon.
[20:54] Rishe
    Yes.
[20:56] Diana
    Then, I'll take my leave here.
[20:58] Rishe
    I'm counting on you.
[20:59] Elsie
    Oh, Miss Diana? After dinner,
    will you help me study some more?
[21:04] Diana
    Of course.
[21:05] Elsie
    Thank you.
[21:10] Elsie
    What a lovely dress.
[21:12] Rishe
    It's the most valuable one I have.
[21:14] Rishe
    Will you help me put up my
    hair in a style to match?
[21:17] Elsie
    Yes, my lady.
[21:20] Elsie
    Um, I've heard that your guest is a merchant.
[21:24] Elsie
    Is your most valuable dress really necessary?
[21:27] Rishe
    Well, it's one potential ingredient, you see?
[21:32] Elsie
    Ingredient?
[21:33] Rishe; internal
    After all, these are the people who drilled
    what it is to be a merchant into me.
[21:40] Rishe; internal
    If I can gain them as allies, then my choices
    moving forward increase dramatically.
[21:45] Rishe; internal
    The Aria Trading Company has
    only just been established.
[21:49] Rishe; internal
    A business negotiation with the
    imperial family of Galkhein...
[21:52] Rishe; internal
    that's something they should want
    to be successful, no matter what.
[21:59] Rishe; internal
    Would dressing more gaudily make me seem
    more like a mark who loves to spend money?
[22:04] Elsie
    I think it's a shame.
[22:06] Elsie
    Putting your hair in a bun with some
    trailing tendrils would give you a refined air.
[22:09] Elsie
    I feel it would match this dress better.
[22:11] Rishe
    Thank you, Elsie.
[22:13] Rishe
    But this outfit is for my battle today.
[22:16] Elsie
    Battle?
[22:18] Kamil
    Your guest has arrived.
[22:24] Tully
    Allow me to congratulate you
    on your upcoming nuptials.
[22:30] Tully
    I am Kaine Tully, from
    the Aria Trading Company.

[00:00] Tully
    Allow me to congratulate you
    on your upcoming nuptials.
[00:04] Tully
    I am Kaine Tully, from
    the Aria Trading Company.
[00:08] Rishe
    I'm Rishe Irmgard Weitzner.
[00:11] Rishe
    Thank you for coming such
    a long way to meet with me.
[00:16] Tully; background
    This really is a lovely
    time of year, isn't it?
[00:18] Rishe; internal
    He's as impressive as I remember.
[00:19] Rishe; internal
    Just meeting his eye makes me
    feel like he's seen through me.
[00:19] Tully; background
    Lady Rishe, did you say your wedding will
    be in the middle of the eighth month?
[00:23] Rishe; internal
    But since I know him well, I
    should have the upper hand.
[00:23] Tully; background
    That means you'll become a
    bride under the summer skies.
[00:27] Tully; background
    To have such a beautiful lady as
    the future mother of the country...
[00:27] Rishe; internal
    In order to avoid the war,
    and to live a long life,
[00:32] Tully; background
    I must say I'm jealous of
    the people of Galkhein.
[00:32] Rishe; internal
    I will have you lend me your aid, chief!
[00:36] Rishe
    I'm sure you've already heard, but
    I want everything used in my wedding
[00:41] Rishe
    to be procured by the Aria Trading Company.
[00:44] Tully
    Well, well! You have no idea how
    much I appreciate such a statement.
[00:47] Rishe
    Then, would it be possible
    to see your wares right now?
[00:52] Tully
    Lady Rishe...
[00:55] Tully
    I haven't a single item I would sell to you.
[02:32] Tully
    Oh, pardon me. It seems you've misunderstood.
[02:35] Tully
    However, it's just as I said.
[02:37] Tully
    A lady such as yourself simply
    cannot become a customer of ours.
[02:43] Rishe
    May I ask why?
[02:44] Tully
    The items which we are able to procure
    aren't in keeping with your level of resolve.
[02:49] Rishe
    Resolve?
[02:52] Tully
    It seems that, for some reason, you're
    staking your life on this transaction.
[02:57] Tully
    I've seen many different people in my time,
[03:00] Tully
    but you seem to have a stronger
    resolve than any of them.
[03:05] Tully
    This despite the fact that you're only
    buying wedding goods from a simple trader, you see?
[03:11] Rishe
    Well, it is a once-in-a-lifetime event.
[03:13] Rishe
    I've allowed myself to
    become overenthusiastic.
[03:16] Rishe
    I'm so inexperienced.
    It's quite embarrassing.
[03:19] Tully
    Please, rest at ease. I'm certain your
    wedding ceremony will be splendid.
[03:24] Tully
    However, unfortunately, our wares
    seem to be inadequate to the task.
[03:30] Tully
    Thank you for your offer. It's been an honor.
[03:32] Rishe
    Ch-Chief Tully!
[03:34] Tully
    All else aside, Galkhein is quite
    an impressive country, isn't it?
[03:40] Tully
    We're thinking of forgetting our work for a
    while and spending a few days enjoying the sights.
[03:46] Rishe
    Please wait! If we could
    speak a little longer!
[03:49] Tully
    Farewell, beautiful future crown princess.
[04:09] Tully
    Listen well, Rishe.
[04:11] (Flashback) Tully
    Become a merchant who can pick her customers.
[04:14] (Flashback) Tully
    Offer wares or other value that
    they can only get through us.
[04:18] (Flashback) Tully
    When you do that, then we're the
    ones who can choose our customers.
[04:24] Rishe; internal
    I couldn't make the chief choose me.
[04:27] Rishe; internal
    But I'll need his connections when the Aria
    Trading Company spreads across the world.
[04:34] Kamil
    Um, Lady Rishe?
[04:36] Kamil
    Why is the future crown
    princess working in a garden?
[04:40] Rishe
    Prince Arnold gave me this plot, so
    I thought I'd grow medicinal plants.
[04:46] Rishe
    Depending on how I mix them, I'll be
    able to make all sorts of medicines.
[04:49] Kamil
    I see...
[04:53] Rishe; internal
    Still, was he simply being wary of me?
[04:57] Rishe; internal
    He is a cautious man, but he also
    loves an all-or-nothing gamble.
[05:04] Rishe; internal
    Have I overlooked something?
[05:08] (Flashback) Tully
    We're thinking of forgetting our work for a
    while and spending a few days enjoying the sights.
[05:15] Rishe
    That's the end of my
    gardening this afternoon.
[05:17] Kamil
    A-Already?
[05:19] Rishe
    I'm going to rest in my room. I'll
    leave guarding the halls to you.
[05:23] Kamil; Dennis
    Y-Yes, my lady!
[05:28] Chester
    Still, are you sure about this, chief?
[05:31] Chester
    You're kicking aside a way to make
    huge money from the crown princess.
[05:33] Tully
    You dummy. If we took that lady on
    as a customer, we'd see heavy losses.
[05:41] Rishe
    Welcome back, Chief Tully.
[05:43] traders
    I can't drink any more.
[05:45] traders
    You win, miss.
[05:47] Tully
    I did think you might deign
    to visit us soon, but this?
[05:51] Rishe
    Then, that was an invitation after all.
[05:55] Rishe
    I'm honored.
[05:59] Tully
    I'm astounded.
[06:01] Tully
    To think you'd outdrink
    my men while you waited.
[06:04] Rishe
    Since they're such enjoyable company,
    the drink just kept flowing.
[06:08] Tully
    Setting that aside, that dye has
    taken quite beautifully to your hair.
[06:12] Rishe
    My hair color tends to
    stand out a bit, you see.
[06:16] Rishe
    If I told you I'd sell you the method,
    would you be open to negotiations with me?
[06:22] Tully
    I would never!
[06:24] Tully
    After all, you've brought something
     even more lucrative, haven't you?
[06:30] Tully
    And now, just as you wished,
    we will begin our negotiations.
[06:34] Tully
    Let's start with a drink.
[06:36] Rishe
    Just one thing first.
[06:38] Rishe
    While we're here, please speak freely.
[06:42] Rishe; internal
    When he speaks so formally to
    me, it sets me off-balance.
[06:46] Tully
    Well, if you insist.
[06:55] Tully
    So, milady, no more of this "I want a
    dress for my wedding" charade, all right?
[07:03] Rishe
    Of course. It's obvious that trying
    such tricks on you won't work.
[07:08] Tully
    Good.
[07:09] Tully
    My intuition is telling me something.
[07:12] Tully
    Lady Rishe, it says that I should take you
    on not as a client, but as a trading partner.
[07:18] Tully
    I won't help with a plan
    if I don't know the full scope of it.
[07:21] Tully
    But don't worry, despite appearances,
    I'm very dedicated to my work.
[07:25] Tully
    I can promise you whatever profits, no,
    even greater profits than you've imagined.
[07:31] Tully
    Now, how about you spill every last detail
    of this money-making scheme of yours!
[07:37] Rishe
    I can't tell you.
[07:38] Tully
    What?
[07:40] Rishe
    I can't tell you about my plan.
[07:43] Rishe
    Even so, I want the Aria Trading
    Company to become my ally.
[07:48] Tully
    You say the most interesting things, milady.
[07:52] Tully
    You want me to enter into a contract
    without being told anything,
[07:55] Tully
    and it isn't even certain
    that I'll profit from it.
[07:57] Tully
    This is the type of offer
    that traders hate the most.
[08:00] Rishe
    I will, of course, prepare compensation.
[08:02] Tully
    You're telling me to just trust you when
    you say I'll make a profit? A fine idea!
[08:07] Rishe; internal
    Within the next few years,
[08:09] Rishe; internal
    the crown prince of this nation
    will wage wars on other countries,
[08:12] Rishe; internal
    and I'm formulating a plan to stop him... but
    it's not as though I can tell him that.
[08:17] Tully
    Listen well, milady,
[08:19] Tully
    I trust my intuition a great deal,
[08:22] Tully
    but what I regard as even more
    important is results and—
[08:25] Rishe; overlapped
    Results and proof of performance, right?
[08:30] Rishe
    I will think of a business which will
    prove successful here in the capital.
[08:34] Rishe
    If you deem me worthy of
    your trust because of it,
[08:38] Rishe
    then may I ask that you reevaluate
    this decision at that time?
[08:47] Tully
    I like it!
[08:48] Tully
    You're saying that if your idea
    seems likely to turn a profit,
[08:51] Tully
    you want me to acknowledge you.
[08:53] Tully
    That's exactly the sort of thing I like.
[08:55] Rishe; internal
    Yes, I know that very well.
[08:58] Tully
    You have a week. I'm looking
    forward to this, milady.
[09:02] Rishe
    Then it's a promise.
[09:08] Rishe
    Thank you for your time.
[09:10] Rishe
    And when everyone wakes, please
    have them drink this medicine.
[09:16] Tully
    What is it?
[09:18] Rishe
    I think you'll understand
    quickly once you use it.
[09:27] Rishe
    It isn't a simple thing to
    sneak out of this place.
[09:37] Arnold
    You were out late.
[09:40] Rishe
    Your Highness, why are you here?
[09:42] Arnold
    I heard that your offer
    of trade was turned down.
[09:46] Arnold
    It's a strange story.
[09:48] Arnold
    A simple trader rejecting a request
    from a future crown princess?
[09:55] Arnold
    I'm the one who said to
    spend your time as you like.
[09:58] Arnold
    That's why I believe it would be
    unreasonable of me to criticize your actions,
[10:02] Arnold
    so I awaited your return instead. However...
[10:37] Arnold
    So, even you look like that
    when faced with a man alone at night.
[10:49] Rishe
    I... am very sorry.
[10:54] Rishe
    Sneaking out of the villa alone at night is
    unbecoming of my position as your fiancée.
[11:00] Rishe
    If your reputation were damaged because—
[11:01] Arnold
    I don't care about that.
[11:06] Arnold
    You're not hurt, are you?
[11:08] Rishe
    What?
[11:10] Rishe
    No, I'm not.
[11:14] Arnold
    From now on, whenever you visit
    town, I will go with you.
[11:18] Rishe
    What?
[11:19] Arnold
    I told you. You're free to do as you like.
[11:22] Arnold
    I also told you that I
    would help you in that.
[11:25] Rishe
    Oh, but... I couldn't possibly ask Your
    Highness to go along with my selfish behavior!
[11:29] Arnold
    I said that you're free to do as you like.
[11:32] Arnold
    I didn't say you're free
    to put yourself in danger.
[11:36] Arnold
    What is it?
[11:37] Rishe
    You're much too indulgent with me.
[11:41] Arnold
    Well, as it's you,
[11:42] Arnold
    if I try to restrict you by saying that
    you're never allowed to visit town again,
[11:45] Arnold
    you'd just slip out quietly
    again, wouldn't you?
[11:48] Arnold
    Even if it meant dyeing your hair.
[11:50] Arnold
    Giving permission with conditions attached
    seems more likely to work as a restraint.
[11:55] Rishe
    Am I really so easily understood?
[11:58] Arnold
    Not at all.
[11:59] Arnold
    You're the type that's so difficult to
    understand that I can't predict you at all.
[12:05] Rishe
    You're enjoying this, aren't you?
[12:07] Rishe
    You and the chief both.
[12:10] Arnold
    The chief?
[12:12] Arnold
    What has passed between you
    and the Aria Trading Company?
[12:18] Rishe
    Your Highness?
[12:19] Arnold
    Yes?
[12:21] Rishe
    Do you happen to be hungry?
[13:00] Rishe
    Um, Y-Your Highness?
[13:04] Rishe
    There's something I must apologize for.
[13:06] Arnold
    What is it?
[13:09] Rishe
    I'm terribly sorry, even though
    I'm the one who proposed it...
[13:14] Rishe
    I, um...
[13:16] Rishe
    I'm a terrible cook!
[13:23] Arnold
    I see.
[13:25] Rishe
    I'm very sorry.
[13:27] Arnold
    Well, it's unusual to find a noble
     lady who has experience cooking.
[13:33] Rishe; internal
    In my past lives, meals were just a time
    when I prioritized putting food in my stomach.
[13:39] Rishe
    I don't think this soup will
    suit your tastes, Your Highness.
[13:46] Arnold
    It's good.
[13:48] Rishe
    What?
[13:50] Arnold
    This soup will do just fine.
[13:53] Rishe; internal
    I don't think he can tell
    good flavors from bad.
[13:55] Arnold
    Hey.
[13:56] Arnold
    You're thinking something
    disrespectful, aren't you?
[13:58] Rishe
    No, not at all!
[14:02] Rishe
    Thank you.
[14:04] Arnold
    It's your fault that I'm hungry.
[14:06] Arnold
    Let's hurry up and set out the dishes.
[14:08] Rishe
    Of course!
[14:12] Rishe
    Which is why...
[14:13] Rishe
    I now have to propose a new
    business idea within a week.
[14:20] Arnold
    I understand.
[14:21] Rishe
    Which means?
[14:22] Arnold
    I said I understand.
[14:24] Arnold
    I comprehend what it is you want to do.
[14:28] Rishe
    You're not going to ask me what I plan
    to use the Aria Trading Company for?
[14:34] Arnold
    You kept that a secret from the
    trading company, didn't you?
[14:36] Arnold
    Then, I can't imagine that you'd tell me.
[14:39] Rishe
    It's just as you say, but...
[14:41] Arnold
    Have you figured out this business
    or whatever you're thinking up?
[14:44] Rishe
    I have several ideas.
[14:46] Rishe
    It's just that I don't know
    if any of them will work.
[14:49] Rishe
    What kinds of people live in the capital?
[14:52] Rishe
    What sorts of things do they love?
[14:54] Rishe
    There's a mountain of
    things I need to research.
[14:56] Arnold
    You're saying this will be a difficult fight.
[14:59] Rishe
    Yes.
[15:05] Rishe
    You really are enjoying this, aren't you?
[15:08] Arnold
    You should do as you like.
[15:10] Arnold
    I have to get back.
[15:11] Rishe
    Yes, of course. Good night.
[15:17] Rishe
    Is something wrong?
[15:19] Arnold
    Have you met my younger brother?
[15:21] Rishe
    Your Highness's younger brother? No.
[15:24] Arnold
    That's good.
[15:25] Arnold
    If he approaches you, don't entertain him.
[15:28] Rishe
    Is there something I should know?
[15:30] Arnold
    There's no need for you to know.
[15:52] Rishe; internal
    This town's population,
    its male to female ratio,
[15:54] Rishe; internal
    and its age distribution are
    the minimum information I need.
[15:57] Rishe; internal
    Changes in its economic development...
[15:59] Rishe; internal
    the state of the surrounding regions...
[16:01] Rishe; internal
    information on traders and travelers
    entering and leaving, too...
[16:07] Rishe; internal
    I garden in the morning, check
    teaching materials in the afternoon,
[16:10] Rishe; internal
    and I have to prepare for the
    wedding ceremony as well.
[16:13] Rishe; internal
    I won't be getting any
    sleep or rest for a while!
[16:17] Oliver
    A midnight snack? You, my lord?
[16:18] Arnold
    What of it?
[16:20] Oliver
    Nothing.
[16:21] Oliver
    Lady Rishe must be an excellent cook.
[16:24] Arnold
    She said she's terrible at cooking...
[16:27] Arnold
    but it was good.
[16:30] Arnold
    Hey.
[16:31] Arnold
    Is adding medicinal herbs
    to soup a standard practice?
[16:36] Oliver
    To soup?
[16:38] Oliver
    No, that isn't usually done.
[16:42] Arnold
    I see.
[16:48] Kamil
    Were you unable to get much rest last night?
[16:51] Rishe
    I was doing a little research.
[16:54] Kamil
    Please don't push yourself too hard.
[17:00] Dennis
    Lady Rishe! Please stand back!
[17:03] Dennis
    Let's return to your room.
[17:06] Rishe; internal
    Black hair is rare on this continent.
[17:09] Dennis
    Lady Rishe!
[17:12] Theodore
    Rishe?
[17:13] Dennis
    Oh no!
[17:17] Theodore
    You are my older brother's...
[17:23] Theodore
    Pleased to meet you, my lovely older sister!
[17:27] Theodore
    Finally, we meet!
[17:29] Theodore
    I've sent so many letters
    saying I wanted to meet you,
[17:33] Theodore
    but my brother hasn't sent a single reply.
[17:35] Theodore
    Isn't that just mean?
[17:40] Theodore
    There's no need to be so tense.
[17:44] Theodore
    I'm Theodore.
[17:46] Theodore
    Theodore Auguste Hein.
[17:48] Theodore
    I'm second in line to the throne
    and Arnold Hein's younger brother.
[17:52] Rishe; internal
    I've been told not to spend
    time with him, but...
[17:58] Rishe
    I'm honored to meet you.
[18:00] Rishe
    My name is Rishe Irmgard Weitzner.
[18:03] Rishe
    A twist of fate has allowed me to fill the
    lowest position in the imperial family.
[18:09] Rishe
    I hope that we will get on well together.
[18:11] Theodore
    I was wondering, what are you
    doing out here, dear sister?
[18:13] Rishe
    This garden plot is one that I've created.
[18:17] Theodore
    You made this?
[18:18] Theodore
    That's amazing!
[18:21] Theodore
    It's rare to find a bed so fluffy!
[18:24] Theodore
    But there is one thing bothering me.
[18:27] Theodore
    Will you look here for me?
[18:28] Rishe
    Is something the matter?
[18:31] Theodore
    See? Right here.
[18:33] Rishe
    Well...
[18:36] Theodore
    I want to save you.
[18:40] Theodore
    You poor thing. Dragged all
    the way to a place like this.
[18:44] Theodore
    You aren't truly a bride. You're a hostage.
[18:50] Rishe
    I'm aware.
[18:51] Theodore
    You are?
[18:53] Rishe
    Prince Arnold is more than
    satisfactorily considerate toward me.
[18:59] Theodore
    I see.
[19:04] Theodore
    I'm glad I was able to meet
    you today! I'll see you again.
[19:13] Rishe; internal
    Second in line to the throne?
[19:16] Rishe; internal
    That's not something you say as an
    introduction to your older brother's fiancée.
[19:23] Rishe
    This may seem apropos of nothing,
[19:25] Rishe
    but earlier, you didn't
    seem your usual selves.
[19:30] Rishe
    Do you have orders not to let
    me near his younger brother?
[19:34] Kamil
    That isn't something we
    would be able to tell you.
[19:37] Rishe
    Then, do the brothers get along well?
[19:42] Kamil
    We can't speak to that either.
[19:44] Rishe
    I'm sorry for asking such strange questions.
[19:47] Kamil
    Not at all.
[19:49] Rishe; internal
    I'll have to deal with
    this matter eventually,
[19:53] Rishe; internal
    but right now, my negotiation
    with the chief comes first.
[19:56] Arnold
    Don't make me repeat myself.
[19:58] Arnold
    Our military force will be
    turned to the protection of the people.
[20:00] Arnold
    The decision has already been made.
[20:02] Earl in military affairs
    Ignoring the regional lords in order to
    tenderheartedly protect the commoners?
[20:06] Earl in military affairs
    What's the meaning of this?
[20:07] Arnold
    The nobility has their private armies, and
    the nation provides the funds to maintain them.
[20:12] Arnold
    You can say whatever you like.
[20:14] Earl in military affairs
    Your Highness, please reconsider!
[20:17] Earl in military affairs
    I can't say that your father
    will be pleased by this order.
[20:23] Arnold
    I will not argue with you. Know your place.
[20:33] Rishe
    Um...
[20:52] Arnold
    I'll have separate notices sent to the lords.
[20:54] Earl in military affairs
    Notices?
[20:56] Arnold
    Our protecting the people just needs to
    end up being in their favor, correct?
[21:01] Arnold
    If our forces are turned to protecting the
    people and they are able to live in safety,
[21:07] Arnold
    that will ultimately lead to increased tax
    revenue which should benefit the lords.
[21:14] Earl in military affairs
    If that's the case, then the lords
    will likely accept the change.
[21:19] Arnold
    This conversation is over.
[21:25] (Flashback) Rishe
    The indemnities gained through war
[21:28] (Flashback) Rishe
    are invested locally in revitalization
    and creating employment.
[21:31] (Flashback) Rishe
    This policy was created by Arnold Hein.
[21:36] Rishe; internal
    He is forcefully introducing
    policies which benefit the people.
[21:41] Rishe; internal
    He really is very different from the
    impressions I have of him from my past lives.
[21:48] Rishe
    Well then, good night.
[21:51] Dennis; Kamil
    Good night, my lady.
SIGN    I will confide a secret to
    you. Be at the chapel
    tonight at twelve.
SIGN    Arnold Hein
[22:26] Rishe
    Good evening,
[22:27] Rishe
    Prince Theodore.
[22:30] Theodore
    Good evening,
[22:32] Theodore
    my lovely older sister.

[00:06] Rishe
    Good evening, Prince Theodore.
[00:10] Theodore
    Good evening, my lovely older sister.
[00:13] Theodore
    Impressive.
[00:15] Theodore
    From your demeanor, I take
    it you knew it would be me?
[00:18] Rishe
    If you would like to speak,
    I ask that it be brief.
[00:22] Theodore
    Continuing from this morning,
[00:24] Theodore
    you don't know my older brother
    very well yet, do you?
[00:29] Theodore
    So I'll tell you about him.
[00:33] Theodore
    My older brother thinks
    nothing of killing people.
[00:37] Theodore
    That's the kind of person he is.
[00:39] Rishe; internal
    I know that.
[00:41] Rishe; internal
    Arnold Hein committed massacres
    in other countries...
[00:44] Rishe; internal
    and invaded every nation in the world.
[00:47] Theodore
    And, of course, I'm not
    speaking of times of war.
[00:51] Rishe
    What do you mean?
[00:56] Theodore
    You see, my brother...
[00:58] Theodore
    killed his own mother.
[01:01] Theodore
    A horrifying story, isn't it?
[01:03] Theodore
    Striking down his own mother?
[01:05] Theodore
    There's nothing decent about that, is there?
[01:08] Theodore
    And one day, you'll be killed, too.
[01:12] Rishe
    Is there something wrong with that?
[01:15] Rishe
    For my part...
[01:16] Rishe
    I am fully aware of the facts, and I
    choose to become Prince Arnold's bride.
[02:53] Theodore
    Did you hear what I said?
[02:56] Rishe; internal
    I'm not surprised.
[02:58] Rishe; internal
    He's the person who will one day kill
    his father and usurp the throne.
[03:02] Theodore
    You don't understand anything!
[03:04] Theodore
    My brother is a heartless man
    who neither cries nor bleeds!
[03:06] Rishe
    It seems our talk is at an end. You should
    continue this conversation with your brother.
[03:14] Theodore
    Brother...
[03:18] Theodore
    Why is my brother here?
[03:21] Theodore
    This is a misunderstanding! What I said
    just now isn't what I really think!
[03:24] Theodore
    It's all a misunderstanding!
[03:26] Arnold
    Theodore.
[03:29] Arnold
    I believe I ordered you
    to stay away from Rishe.
[03:37] Theodore
    I'm sorry, brother.
[03:39] Arnold
    Let's go, Rishe.
[03:42] Rishe
    Please wait, Your Highness. Speak with
    your brother for a moment or two.
[03:45] Arnold
    There's no need.
[03:46] Rishe
    But...
[03:47] Arnold
    Rishe.
[03:51] Rishe
    Yes, Your Highness.
[03:59] Theodore
    It truly is just as I thought, my sister.
[04:06] Theodore
    I'm really sorry, brother.
[04:08] Theodore
    I won't say anything mean
    to your dear bride any more.
[04:14] Theodore
    Good night.
[04:16] Theodore
    It's been a while since I've seen you
    up close like this. It made me happy.
[04:27] Arnold
    And I believe I told you as well.
[04:29] Rishe
    Since your name was used to call me here,
    Prince Arnold, I couldn't simply ignore it.
[04:34] Rishe
    Though, I did take a bit of
    a gamble on your coming here.
[04:39] Arnold
    I received a reply to a letter I never sent.
SIGN    Thank you for your
    invitation. I will go to
    the chapel alone at
    half-past twelve as
    specified.
[04:42] Arnold
    I would have been crazy to sit
    back and relax after that.
[04:45] Rishe
    Thank you for coming for me.
[04:51] Arnold
    What's wrong?
[04:53] Rishe
    Why do people say you're a cruel person?
[04:58] Arnold
    Probably because it's the truth.
[05:01] Rishe
    In the last war, Your
    Highness took many lives,
[05:05] Rishe
    but from what I've seen of you in this
    country, you are a considerate, kind person.
[05:12] Arnold
    It seems I've looked after you too well.
[05:18] Arnold
    If you wish to survive in this palace,
    discard that naïve mindset immediately.
[05:25] Rishe
    I trust what I've seen.
[05:28] Arnold
    You've never seen me on the battlefield.
    You don't know what you're saying.
[05:31] Rishe
    The person who has shown me such care and
    consideration was also undeniably you, wasn't it?
[05:36] Arnold
    Don't be ridiculous.
[05:38] Arnold
    I brought you here to use you.
[05:41] Rishe
    Even so, I can't think of
    you as a cruel person...
[05:47] Rishe
    my husband.
[05:57] Arnold
    What is this resolve you carry within you?
[06:01] Rishe
    Resolve?
[06:03] Arnold
    I see it in your eyes sometimes.
[06:06] Arnold
    They're the eyes of someone
    standing on a battlefield.
[06:08] Arnold
    "If it means that I can stay true to my
    convictions, then I don't care if I die here."
[06:13] Arnold
    You have the eyes of someone
    with that sort of resolve.
[06:16] Arnold
    Even then, you haven't given up on surviving.
[06:19] Arnold
    You will fight until the very last.
[06:22] Arnold
    The moments when I had
    to kill such a person...
[06:27] Arnold
    were the most terrifying moments of the war.
[06:30] Rishe; internal
    He has things that frighten him, too?
[06:36] Rishe
    I have dreams where I am killed.
[06:41] Rishe
    When I wake, I know that
    I'm alive, here and now.
[06:45] Rishe
    But sometimes, I feel very afraid.
[06:48] Arnold
    Afraid?
[06:49] Rishe
    I worry that the truth is I've died
    and that the world I'm living in now
[06:55] Rishe
    is just a long dream I'm
    having after my death.
[06:59] Rishe; internal
    I didn't realize I had
    these feelings inside me.
[07:03] Rishe; internal
    Pay it no mind. What does
    it matter if I'm scared?
[07:07] Rishe
    Even so, I've made up my mind.
[07:10] Rishe
    No matter how this life may
    end, I don't want to run away.
[07:15] Rishe
    What I carry within me now is the
    resolve to live as your wife.
[07:19] Rishe
    No more than that.
[07:49] Arnold
    You fool.
[07:52] Arnold
    The resolve to be my wife?
    There's no need for that.
[08:27] Rishe; internal
    What was that yesterday?
[08:33] Rishe; internal
    And...
[08:35] (Flashback) Arnold
    The resolve to be my wife?
    There's no need for that.
[08:40] Rishe; internal
    What did those words mean?
[08:44] Elsie
    Lady Rishe, did you not
    sleep again last night?
[08:48] Rishe
    Elsie.
[08:49] Elsie
    You've been working too
    hard the past few days.
[08:52] Rishe
    I'm all right. No need to worry.
[08:54] Rishe; internal
    I say that, but I think I've
    finally reached my limits.
[09:04] Elsie
    So sparkly and smooth...
[09:09] Rishe
    This is the merchandise I'm
    proposing to Chief Tully.
[09:11] Rishe
    And what perfect timing!
[09:13] Rishe
    Will you sit there for me?
[09:16] Rishe
    In the east, they have a custom of staining
    their nails with dyes made from flowers.
[09:21] Rishe
    I used that as a hint and tried adding
    color to nail-strengthening medicine.
[09:25] Rishe
    I thought that this way, you could enjoy
    being stylish even while scrubbing and washing.
[09:30] Elsie
    This will make my nails stronger?
[09:32] Elsie
    Mine always split right away.
[09:35] Rishe
    This should make them less likely to split.
[09:38] Rishe
    But the most important thing
    is to eat meat or fish.
[09:41] Elsie
    Meat. Fish.
[09:44] Elsie
    I'll remember that.
[09:46] Elsie
    From now on, I'll be able
    to use my pay to get some.
[09:49] Rishe
    Elsie, if I remember
    correctly, your family is...
[09:51] Elsie
    Yes, my family is poor.
[09:53] Elsie
    It's all I can do to feed my
    younger brother and sister.
[09:58] Rishe; internal
    So this nation has a deeply
    rooted poverty problem, too.
[10:02] Rishe; internal
    There are households like Elsie's here.
[10:13] Elsie
    It's so beautiful.
[10:15] Elsie
    I've never seen anything so sparkly.
[10:19] Rishe
    Elsie, do you have a favorite color?
[10:22] Rishe
    I'd like to give you a present.
[10:23] Elsie
    I-I couldn't possibly!
[10:25] Elsie
    If I accepted something
    as wonderful as this...
[10:28] Elsie
    I believe I should restrain myself.
[10:32] Rishe
    Not at all! Elsie, your using
    this would make me happy, too.
[10:38] Rishe
    What color would you like?
[10:40] Rishe
    Any color would suit you very
    well. Won't you tell me?
[10:50] Rishe
    Elsie?
[10:54] Rishe
    Wh-What's wrong? Does something hurt?
[10:58] Elsie
    I'm... happy.
[11:01] Elsie
    I don't know how to thank you.
[11:07] Elsie
    I'm just... so very happy.
[11:11] Rishe
    Elsie.
[11:16] Elsie
    My family is very poor, and our
    clothes are always in tatters.
[11:20] Elsie
    We could never dress fashionably.
[11:23] Elsie
    And now, I've not only become
    your maid, Lady Rishe,
[11:27] Elsie
    I'm to be given something so beautiful...
[11:30] Elsie
    I'm just so happy!
[11:35] maids; background
    That's amazing! It's so pretty!
[11:42] Rishe; internal
    There are other girls in this
    country doing what Elsie did,
[11:45] Rishe; internal
    suppressing their own longings and
    dreams for the sake of their families.
[11:52] Rishe; internal
    That's right.
[11:53] Rishe; internal
    Right now, I'm not a merchant.
[11:57] Rishe; internal
    Right now, I am...
[12:06] Rishe
    Most of the people coming in and out of the
    capital are working men in their prime.
[12:11] Rishe
    So, I thought this would
    make the perfect souvenir.
[12:14] Rishe
    And it's a small bottle,
    so it won't be unwieldy.
[12:23] Tully
    Magnificent!
[12:25] Tully
    What genius conceived of these wares?
[12:28] Tully
    I'm certain that many women will want it.
[12:31] Tully
    Please allow our trading
    company to handle the sales.
[12:34] Chester
    All right! Let's start promoting
    it to our clients right away!
[12:36] Tully
    Now, just wait.
[12:38] Tully
    If this product were
    entrusted to us right now,
[12:42] Tully
    we'd sell it as a highly priced
    product intended for nobles.
[12:46] Tully
    But it seems that Lady
    Rishe has a different idea.
[12:51] Rishe
    Yes. This is where our
    business discussion begins.
[12:57] Rishe
    Three years ago, Prince Arnold established
    a minimum wage in this country.
[13:03] Tully
    I see. So, that policy
    was the crown prince's?
[13:07] Tully
    However, this boon is granted only to
    those who can find employment, I believe.
[13:14] Rishe
    Yes.
[13:15] Rishe
    This item isn't costly or difficult to make.
[13:20] Rishe
    However, it will require a lot of
    manpower to create large amounts.
[13:23] Rishe
    I have a suggestion in that area.
[13:25] Tully
    Please allow me to hear it.
[13:28] Rishe
    Large scale hiring from the slums.
[13:34] Rishe
    If you promise me that this will
    be done, and only if you promise,
[13:36] Rishe
    then I will provide you the
    technique to create this item.
[13:39] Tully
    What a magnificent idea!
[13:44] Tully
    However...
[13:51] Tully
    I'm disappointed in you, Miss Rishe.
[13:54] Kamil
    Kaine Tully, how dare you be so insolent!
[13:57] Rishe
    It's all right.
[13:59] Tully
    If you wish to perform charitable acts,
[14:01] Tully
    please feel free to wait until I change
    professions and become a clergyman.
[14:05] Rishe
    Chief, this is a business proposal.
[14:09] Rishe
    After the war, Galkhein created a number
    of policies to benefit its people.
[14:15] Tully
    And thanks to those, people's income increased,
    and their lives became more extravagant?
[14:20] Rishe
    Yes. However, there are people
    who don't receive these benefits.
[14:25] Rishe
    Unless some method is provided for them to
    access these means, the economy will stagnate,
[14:29] Rishe
    and one day, it will lead
    to a drop in tax revenue.
[14:33] Rishe
    In other words, we share a common destiny
    within this cyclical loop known as the economy.
[14:40] Tully
    So basically, this is what
    you're trying to say...
[14:43] Tully
    Keeping riches isolated in one
    place won't create abundance.
[14:47] Tully
    In which case, we should
    share them with the poor.
[14:50] Tully
    Is that right?
[14:52] Rishe
    A long time ago, someone said this to me...
[14:56] Rishe
    "First-class merchants can
    choose their customers."
[15:02] Rishe
    But, Chief...
[15:06] Rishe
    instead of choosing our customers,
[15:08] Rishe
    why don't we produce them ourselves?
[15:20] Tully
    I see! I like it!
[15:22] Tully
    So, what you're saying is, "Don't choose
    your customers, cultivate them yourself"!
[15:28] Chester
    What's that mean?
[15:30] Tully
    If the people of the slums can earn an
    income, they'll become our customers.
[15:35] Tully
    As their number increases, merchants'
    sales will increase as a result.
[15:39] Tully
    That's the hidden motivation here.
[15:41] Rishe
    All of your company's wares are splendid.
[15:44] Rishe
    The ones who will see the greatest profits
    in this market of newly created customers
[15:48] Rishe
    will be the Aria Trading Company.
[15:50] Chester; background
    So that's what you mean!
[15:51] Rishe; internal
    So their lives aren't only
    about having enough to eat
[15:52] Chester; background
    Sounds good, doesn't it, Chief?
[15:53] Rishe; internal
    and so they don't have
    to give up their dreams,
[15:53] Melvin; background
    Creating our own market...
[15:55] Melvin; background
    I think it's an intriguing idea.
    I'd like to be a part of that!
[15:56] Rishe; internal
    I want this country to become one that
    turns the despair of the slums into hope.
[16:00] Tully; background
    Honestly, you're both getting
    ahead of yourselves.
[16:01] Rishe; internal
    Right now, what I should be
    doing as the crown princess
[16:03] Rishe; internal
    is creating businesses that will bring
    prosperity to the people of this country.
[16:09] Rishe
    This is one of the few proposals I can
    offer you in my current circumstances.
[16:13] Tully
    Not bad.
[16:15] Tully
    You seemed to have seen through me, right to
    my convictions, so this has been entertaining.
[16:20] Tully
    But, Miss Rishe, you're still immature.
[16:25] Tully
    Your behavior is much too earnest.
[16:27] Tully
    It seems you really want
    to work with our company.
[16:30] Tully
    I could use that fixation of yours to wring
    you dry. I've already started plotting how.
[16:37] Chester
    Chief, you're going too far.
[16:39] Tully
    Now, shall I begin finding
    faults in your proposal?
[16:44] Rishe
    A proposal made by the likes of me?
[16:46] Rishe
    I never believed that you'd
    unreservedly approve of it.
[16:48] Tully
    Really? We've only met a handful of times.
[16:52] Tully
    It makes me happy that you
    already understand me so well.
[16:56] Rishe; internal
    I wanted to avoid using
    this if possible, but...
[17:03] Tully
    Well! What will appear from
    your bag of tricks next—
[17:12] Melvin
    Chief?
[17:16] Tully
    How?
[17:18] Tully
    How do you have this?
[17:21] Rishe
    I'm very sorry.
[17:23] Rishe
    I used a rather special
    method to look into this.
[17:28] Rishe
    And into your younger sister,
    Aria Tully's, illness.
[17:35] Tully
    There's nothing strange
    about word of Aria leaking.
[17:39] Tully
    After all, I've gone around speaking
    to different doctors about her.
[17:44] Rishe
    At the moment, I am cultivating
    a number of medicinal plants.
[17:48] Rishe
    Compounding the plants according
    to the method written there
[17:52] Rishe
    will create a medicine from the
    large eastern country of Renhua...
[17:57] Rishe
    a medicine effective against
    Miss Aria's illness.
[18:03] Rishe
    If she takes this medicine for a year,
[18:05] Rishe
    she should make a profound recovery.
[18:09] Tully
    And you think I'd believe you?
[18:11] Tully
    You're not a doctor. No
    matter what you say, I—
[18:12] Rishe
    Did the medicine I gave you
    the other day help all of you?
[18:18] (Flashback) Rishe
    When everyone wakes, please
    have them drink this medicine.
[18:23] Melvin
    It did. I had a horrible hangover,
[18:25] Melvin
    but after I drank that,
    I felt better right away.
[18:28] Rishe
    That was something I concocted myself.
[18:36] Tully
    "Become a merchant who can
    choose your own customers."
[18:39] Tully
    That's what I've told my
    subordinates all this time.
[18:44] Tully
    You've turned the tables on me, Miss Rishe.
[18:48] Tully
    Up until now, this maneuvering was all
    about whether I'd choose you or not.
[18:52] Tully
    But now, it's about whether you'll choose me.
[18:56] Rishe
    Chief...
[19:00] Tully
    I'm begging you. I'll give
    you everything I own.
[19:04] Tully
    Please, give this medicine to—
[19:06] Rishe
    Please don't misunderstand me.
[19:09] Rishe
    I'll give you the method and the medicinal
    herbs needed without any conditions.
[19:14] Rishe
    I have no intention of using
    your sister to my advantage.
[19:17] Rishe
    But I would like for you to understand.
[19:20] Rishe
    The people of the slums care
    about their families, too.
[19:26] Rishe
    To make sure their younger
    siblings don't fall ill...
[19:29] Rishe
    to make sure that they can feed them...
[19:30] Rishe
    so many older brothers and sisters
    sacrifice their own dreams.
[19:36] Rishe
    This clumsy method was the only way
    I could bring my proposal to you.
[19:42] Rishe
    I don't believe that the tables have turned.
[19:46] Rishe
    Please, will you help me, Chief Tully?
[19:52] Rishe
    Won't you please enter into
     business with me?
[20:13] Tully
    Please, lift your head, Lady Rishe.
[20:15] Rishe
    Chief Tully! Please don't do that!
[20:18] Tully
    Trade is meant to bring abundance
    to everyone involved,
[20:23] Tully
    but I thought to choose my customers.
[20:26] Tully
    It is I who am truly immature here.
[20:29] Tully
    Until now, the fates of people in the slums
[20:31] Tully
    have never meant anything to
    me. That's the honest truth.
[20:35] Tully
    But there are many children
    like my sister living there.
[20:40] Tully
    Your business idea is worth far more than
    anything someone like me could think up.
[20:49] Tully
    Even aside from the matter of my sister's
    medicine, I feel ashamed of my own arrogance.
[20:55] Rishe
    Then, Chief, you'll...
[21:01] Tully
    From this moment on, the Aria Trading
    Company, in the name of Kaine Tully,
[21:06] Tully
    will prepare everything you have asked for.
[21:11] Rishe
    Thank you so much!
[21:21] Rishe; internal
    It was like walking a tightrope.
[21:23] Rishe; internal
    I'm so glad it all turned out well.
[21:26] Rishe; internal
    But I can't just sit here pleased with myself.
[21:29] Rishe; internal
    I must prepare for what comes next.
[21:34] Kamil
    Lady Rishe!
[21:34] Dennis
    Are you all right?
[21:35] Kamil
    Are you feeling unwell?
[21:37] Rishe
    I'm sorry.
[21:42] Rishe
    Could you call Elsie back for me please?
[21:46] Kamil; Dennis
    Yes, my lady!
[21:49] Oliver
    How is Lady Rishe faring?
[21:50] Dennis
    Her condition seems very poor.
[21:52] Dennis
    Kamil and her maid Elsie
    are seeing to her now.
[21:57] Oliver
    Lady Rishe!
[22:12] Dominic
    We've awaited your arrival.
[22:16] Theodore
    It's just so perfect for us that she
    became indisposed and collapsed!
[22:20] Theodore
    Thank you, Kamil, Elsie...
[22:28] Theodore
    for abducting the future
    crown princess for me.

[00:11] Theodore
    Hello, dear sister.
[00:13] Theodore
    How are you feeling?
[00:15] Theodore
    Getting kidnapped by the maid you took
    such good care of... You poor thing.
[00:21] Rishe
    Why would you do something like this?
[00:24] Theodore
    To make my dear brother angry, of course.
[00:29] Theodore
    Up until now, my brother hasn't
    paid any attention to me.
[00:32] Theodore
    It's was only when I interacted
    with you that he looked at me.
[00:36] Theodore
    When my brother is angry,
    his emotions turn toward me.
[00:41] Theodore
    That realization gave me a sense
    of peace deep within my heart.
[00:46] Rishe
    You want to be closer to your older
    brother, don't you, Your Highness?
[00:51] Theodore
    What?
[00:53] Theodore
    This is stupid.
[00:54] Theodore
    I'm going to go play with
    my older brother now.
[00:57] Theodore
    Make sure you behave yourself.
[01:10] (Flashback) Elsie
    Lady Rishe!
[01:11] (Flashback) Elsie
    Are you all right?
[01:13] (Flashback) Elise
    Please don't worry.
[01:14] (Flashback) Elise
    No matter what happens, I
    promise I'll protect you.
[01:18] (Flashback) Elise
    I promise!
[01:19] (Flashback) Kamil
    Lady Rishe, I swear I will help you.
[01:23] (Flashback) Rishe
    Prince Theodore has ordered you
    two to do something, hasn't he?
[01:29] (Flashback) Elise
    How did you know?
[01:31] (Flashback) Rishe
    The letter I received from Prince
    Theodore the other day...
[01:35] (Flashback) Rishe
    that was you, Elsie, wasn't it?
[01:38] (Flashback) Rishe
    You're the only maid here
    who is from the slums.
[01:42] (Flashback) Rishe
    Sir Kamil, you're from there, too.
[01:45] (Flashback) Rishe
    And for many years, Prince Theodore has
    been privately supporting the slums.
[01:53] (Flashback) Kamil
    Lady Rishe, we've been
    ordered to imprison you.
[01:57] (Flashback) Elsie
    But we've been told to
    make sure you aren't hurt.
[02:01] (Flashback) Rishe
    I see. You can tell me the details later.
[02:05] (Flashback) Rishe
    For now, we should be on our way.
[02:07] (Flashback) Kamil
    On our way?
[02:09] (Flashback) Rishe
    Of course.
[02:10] (Flashback) Rishe
    I will go and be imprisoned, just
    as Prince Theodore has ordered.
[02:14] (Flashback) Elsie
    What?
[02:31] Theodore
    This makes me so happy!
[02:33] Theodore
    To think you'd come all the
    way here just to see me!
[02:37] Theodore
    How many years has it been since
    we've spoken this way, dear brother?
[02:41] Theodore
    Wait, this is the first time!
[02:48] Theodore
    So, if it's for her sake,
    you'll do what I say.
[02:52] Arnold
    Get to the point.
[02:55] Theodore
    What I want...
[02:58] Theodore
    is to be next in line for the throne.
[03:00] Theodore
    If you want my dear older
    sister returned to you,
[03:02] Theodore
    then renounce your claim to the throne.
[03:05] Theodore
    If you don't comply, I can't be bothered
    to make sure nothing untoward befalls her.
[03:09] Theodore
    You don't want that to happen, do you?
[03:13] Theodore
    Your expression seems unconcerned,
    but you're worried, aren't you?
[03:17] Theodore
    You're absolutely beside yourself with worry.
[03:19] Theodore
    Because that's how important
    she is to you, right?
[03:22] Theodore
    You treasure her!
[03:24] Theodore
    You show interest and concern for her!
[03:26] Theodore
    You want to keep her by your side!
[03:29] Theodore
    Unlike me! You don't even
    want to see my face!
[03:33] Theodore
    I can tell that much, you know?
[03:36] Theodore
    After all...
[03:38] Theodore
    I've been watching you all this time.
[03:43] Theodore
    Come on, Brother. Say it.
[03:46] Theodore
    Say, "You win."
[03:48] Theodore
    Say, "This time, you've beaten me."
[03:52] Theodore
    If you'd just do that...
[03:55] Theodore
    my life would be complete.
[04:00] Arnold
    Theodore.
[04:02] Arnold
    You said that you'd imprisoned her,
[04:04] Arnold
    but did you put her in a prison?
[04:08] Theodore
    I put her in a room that's
    as good as a prison.
[04:10] Theodore
    And the door is locked, of course.
[04:12] Arnold
    Locked, is it? What else?
[04:15] Theodore
    There are some rough types keeping watch.
[04:18] Theodore
    The room is on an upper floor,
[04:20] Theodore
    so she won't be able to escape
    out the window.
[04:22] Arnold
    I see. So, there's a window, too.
[04:25] Theodore
    What are you trying to say?
[04:27] Theodore
    No one could possibly escape!
[04:29] Arnold
    Not normally, no.
[04:31] Theodore
    Let me warn you, if I
    give just one indication,
[04:35] Theodore
    it will be all too easy
    to hurt my dear sister.
[04:38] Arnold
    My foolish little brother.
[04:41] Arnold
    There isn't a single path
    for you to win here.
[04:44] Arnold
    Not from the moment you thought
    you had captured that girl.
[04:47] Theodore
    What? Brother, you aren't
    acting like yourself.
[04:51] Theodore
    If you have something to say, then just—
[04:53] Arnold
    Listen.
[04:54] Arnold
    Here it comes.
[04:55] Theodore
    What are you talking—
[05:05] Theodore
    This can't be real.
[05:08] Rishe
    I've come to settle things
    between us, Prince Theodore.
[05:15] Theodore
    This isn't possible.
[05:17] Arnold
    I heard you were being held in
    a room "as good as a prison."
[05:21] Arnold
    Did you leave through the window?
[05:22] Arnold
    Or, did you do something like
    punch a hole through a wall?
[05:26] Rishe
    I left through the door like a normal person!
[05:29] Arnold
    Through a locked door being
    watched by guards. That's normal?
[05:33] Theodore
    How did you do it? Has someone betrayed me?
[05:36] Rishe
    Prince Theodore.
[05:39] Rishe
    I respectfully offer you
    the following advice.
[05:41] Theodore
    Advice?
[05:44] Rishe
    First of all...
[05:47] Rishe
    when you have captured a prisoner...
[05:48] Rishe
    you must be careful never to
    take your eyes off them.
[05:52] Rishe
    Even if you lock them into
    a room by themselves,
[05:55] Rishe
    leaving them alone is
    completely out of the question.
[05:58] Rishe
    You should always leave at least
    two guards in the room with them.
[06:06] Rishe
    And second...
[06:08] Rishe
    the search of the prisoner's body should
    always be conducted by multiple people.
[06:12] Rishe
    Don't allow them to keep their clothes on.
[06:14] Rishe
    Searching them while they are
    completely nude is most effective.
[06:17] Rishe
    That way, they won't be able to
    hide weapons or tools for escape.
[06:23] Rishe
    And third...
[06:25] Rishe
    after you have shackled their
    hands behind their back,
[06:28] Rishe
    the best thing to do is to tie
    them to a pillar or a bed,
[06:32] Rishe
    but that's still too lenient.
[06:34] Rishe
    Do you know what the one thing
    you absolutely must do is?
[06:40] Rishe
    Break both their arms and both their legs.
[06:45] Rishe
    Restrain their broken limbs,
[06:47] Rishe
    take everything they have,
    and have a group guard them.
[06:51] Rishe
    That's what it means to
    take someone prisoner.
[07:00] Arnold
    Why are you instructing the
    person who took you captive?
[07:03] Rishe
    Your Highness! I'm perfectly all right!
[07:06] Arnold
    It's fine. You wear it.
[07:08] Rishe
    But, your neck will be...
[07:11] Theodore; internal
    What is that scar?
[07:14] Theodore; internal
    I don't know anything about it.
[07:19] Theodore; internal
    I knew it. I'm not good enough after all.
[07:23] Rishe
    Prince Theodore.
[07:25] Rishe
    Please answer me. What is your aim in this?
[07:30] Theodore
    To be next in line to the throne.
[07:33] Theodore
    There's no other reason for two people in
    the line of succession to fight, is there?
[07:37] Rishe
    I don't believe that to be true.
[07:40] Rishe
    I think it's actually the opposite.
[07:44] Rishe
    Your objective is to abdicate your place
    in the line of succession, isn't it?
[07:51] Theodore
    What are you talking about?
[07:52] Rishe
    I couldn't understand
    why you would target me.
[07:56] Theodore
    I told you! It's to make my brother suffer!
[07:59] Theodore
    If he couldn't protect his fiancée, then
    his reputation would be completely destroyed!
[08:04] Rishe
    Using someone as trivial as
    me to steal the throne...
[08:07] Rishe
    You don't seriously believe
    that would work, do you?
[08:11] Rishe
    By playing out this farce of a kidnapping,
[08:13] Rishe
    you intended to create a commotion and
    disgrace yourself as a criminal, didn't you?
[08:18] Theodore
    You're wrong.
[08:20] Rishe
    There was a certain moment at which
[08:22] Rishe
    you ceased your public works
    in the slums, didn't you?
[08:26] Theodore
    I grew weary of that ludicrous charity work.
[08:29] Rishe
    That's a lie.
[08:31] Rishe
    Even very recently, you've been sending
    support to the slums, haven't you?
[08:36] Rishe
    There isn't any evidence
    of public funds being used,
[08:38] Rishe
    so you must be investing your own money.
[08:42] Rishe
    You worry more for the people
    of the slums than anyone else,
[08:47] Rishe
    and you've approached them with kindness.
[08:51] Rishe
    But you have deliberately
    neglected your public duties.
[08:54] Theodore
    I just want to beat my brother, that's all.
[08:58] Rishe
    If that were the case, then you'd
    have attacked Prince Arnold directly.
[09:02] Theodore
    You're wrong.
[09:03] Rishe
    But you couldn't do that.
[09:05] Rishe
    That's because everything you do
    is for your older brother's sake—
[09:08] Theodore
    You're wrong!
[09:09] Theodore
    You're wrong! Wrong, wrong, wrong!
[09:11] Theodore
    Honestly, what is all this
    nonsense you're spouting?
[09:15] Theodore
    I want my brother to hate me!
    To despise me! To cast me out!
[09:19] Theodore
    If he'll never accept me, then being
    killed by him would be so much better!
[09:24] Arnold
    That's enough. This stops here.
[09:26] Rishe
    Prince Arnold.
[09:28] Arnold
    I've told you, Rishe.
[09:29] Arnold
    Don't interact with him.
[09:31] Rishe
    Please, wait. Your younger
    brother's true feelings are—
[09:34] Arnold
    I don't care.
[09:38] Arnold
    Regardless of what his desires may be,
[09:40] Arnold
    they have nothing to do with me.
[09:44] Theodore
    I already knew that all too well.
[09:51] Rishe
    Prince Theodore!
[09:52] Arnold
    Leave him be.
[09:55] Rishe
    Why do you intentionally try to
    distance yourself from your brother?
[10:00] Arnold
    I told you. He doesn't matter to me.
[10:03] Rishe
    If you really felt that way,
[10:05] Rishe
    then you wouldn't order me to
    stay away from him, would you?
[10:09] Rishe
    You said something the other day.
[10:12] Rishe
    You said, "The resolve to be my
    wife? There's no need for that."
[10:16] Rishe
    I've been trying all this time to
    understand what your words meant.
[10:21] Rishe
    You are looking at the future
    which should be yours
[10:26] Rishe
    with the intention of throwing
    it all away, aren't you?
[10:31] Rishe
    That's what your younger brother
    is afraid of, isn't he?
[10:35] Rishe
    That's why he puts on an act of being the
    second prince with no aspirations to the throne,
[10:40] Rishe
    of being someone who should disappear
    from the future of this empire.
[10:43] Rishe
    But isn't there some other
    path for you two brothers?
[10:50] Rishe
    Please tell me what you're thinking.
[11:05] Arnold
    Oh, I see.
[11:11] Arnold
    And now, I've finally confirmed it.
[11:21] Arnold
    You're quite adorable.
[11:24] Rishe
    What are you...
[11:25] Arnold
    You can't understand my intentions,
[11:27] Arnold
    so you feel confused, right?
[11:30] Arnold
    But it's better that you don't understand.
[11:33] Arnold
    I will say it again, leave Theodore alone.
[11:43] Arnold
    He should never have gotten
    involved with someone like me.
[11:50] Rishe
    You do adore your brother, don't you?
[11:53] Arnold
    What?
[11:54] Rishe
    If you didn't treasure him,
[11:56] Rishe
    you would never have said
    something like that.
[11:59] Rishe
    Your Highness, have you ever considered a
    future opposite to one where you disappear?
[12:05] Arnold
    Opposite?
[12:07] Rishe
    One where your brother disappears.
[12:09] Rishe
    There may be a future like that, too.
[12:12] Rishe
    Please live your life in a way that you
    have no regrets if that does come to pass.
[12:17] Rishe; internal
    And if I had my wish, I'd do the same.
[12:21] Rishe; internal
    So that even if this life is my last...
[12:27] Rishe
    And I intend to live my life
    as your wife with no regrets.
[12:42] Arnold
    Damn it.
[12:49] Rishe
    This is just about all I have left in me.
[12:52] Rishe
    But...
[13:01] Theodore; narration
    I can still remember what
    happened on the battlefield.
[13:05] (Flashback) Theodore
    Hang in there! The medicine
    will be here soon!
[13:08] (Flashback) soldier
    Thank you.
[13:11] (Flashback) man A
    We're being attacked!
[13:21] Theodore; narration
    There wasn't anything that someone
    as useless as me could do.
[13:24] Theodore; narration
    I knew that, but I still...
[13:37] (Flashback) Theodore
    Brother?
[13:42] (Flashback) Arnold
    As a member of the imperial family,
    I can't praise your actions.
[13:46] (Flashback) Arnold
    Next time, don't do anything
    that puts your life at risk.
[13:50] (Flashback) Arnold
    But the fact that you acted
    to protect your vassal...
[13:54] (Flashback) Arnold
    That's something to be proud of.
[13:58] (Flashback) Arnold
    Well done.
[14:07] Rishe
    Prince Theodore.
[14:10] Theodore
    Are you planning to follow your lecture
    on imprisonment with one on escaping?
[14:15] Rishe
    You weren't planning on
    escaping, though, were you?
[14:20] Theodore
    My brother, you see, never shows his
    achievements to the outside world.
[14:25] Theodore
    On the other hand, his infamy spreads
    to other countries unnaturally quickly.
[14:29] Theodore
    Why do you think that is?
[14:31] Rishe
    Prince Arnold is intentionally
    spreading it himself, isn't he?
[14:36] Theodore
    I know because I've been
    watching him all this time.
[14:38] Theodore
    I see him and think, "He's acting in a way
    that will let him disappear at any moment."
[14:44] Theodore
    But for a person as wonderful
    as him to disappear...
[14:49] Theodore
    that just isn't right.
[14:53] Theodore
    If he intends to entrust the
    empire to me and disappear,
[14:56] Theodore
    then I just need to disappear first.
[14:59] Theodore
    If I do, then my brother won't be
    able to do anything stupid anymore.
[15:03] Theodore
    It's the one and only way that
    I can be useful to my brother.
[15:10] Rishe
    I'm certain that your older brother intends
    to do something utterly unreasonable.
[15:17] Rishe
    Which is why I plan to use
    everything I have to stop him.
[15:20] Rishe
    If there are others whose strengths
    I can call on, I will do so.
[15:23] Rishe
    And, Prince Theodore...
[15:25] Rishe
    I need your strength, too.
[15:31] Theodore
    Someone like me will never
    be a strength for you.
[15:34] Rishe
    No, that's not true.
[15:37] Rishe
    After all...
[15:38] Rishe
    you are the only little brother he
    has in this whole world, aren't you?
[15:57] Theodore
    I wanted to help my brother one day.
[16:03] Theodore
    Thank you, Sister.
[16:05] Theodore
    For you to tell me you need me is
    unexpected, but it makes me happy.
[16:11] Theodore
    But I will decide how I will best be used.
[16:18] Theodore
    I should have done this a long time ago.
[16:23] Rishe; internal
    He couldn't possibly!
[16:24] Theodore
    This was all such a huge failure, wasn't it?
[16:27] Rishe
    Your Highness!
[16:58] Theodore
    Brother?
[17:19] Arnold
    What were you thinking?
[17:23] Theodore
    But...
[17:24] Theodore
    But... this is the only way
    I can be useful to you.
[17:31] Arnold
    I have never once done anything
    to be a big brother to you.
[17:36] Arnold
    What kind of idiot risks his
    life for someone like that?
[17:43] Rishe
    The choice your little brother made
    may not have been the right one,
[17:48] Rishe
    but his desire to become a strength
    for you isn't wrong, is it?
[17:56] Theodore
    It's just as she says.
[17:59] Theodore
    I'll wish this over and over again.
[18:02] Theodore
    I want to be a strength to you!
[18:04] Theodore
    I want to be useful to you!
[18:06] Theodore
    If I can be of help to you,
    then I'll do anything!
[18:09] Theodore
    Because you're my only big
    brother in the whole world,
[18:14] Theodore
    and I look up to you so much!
[18:21] Arnold
    Never do anything this foolish ever again.
[18:28] Arnold
    I told you.
[18:31] Arnold
    Don't ever put your life at risk again.
[18:39] Theodore
    You remember?
[18:40] Arnold
    Of course I do.
[18:47] Theodore
    I'm sorry!
[18:50] Theodore
    I'm sorry, Big Brother!
[18:52] Theodore
    I'm sorry, Big Sister!
[18:54] Theodore
    I'm sorry...
[18:56] Arnold
    I understand, so stop crying.
[18:58] Theodore
    But, this is just...
[19:08] Arnold
    Rishe.
[19:09] Rishe
    You came for him, didn't you?
[19:12] Arnold
    Because you said something that bothered me.
[19:15] Rishe
    I'm glad you two were able to mend things.
[19:18] Rishe
    I'm so glad...
[19:21] Arnold
    Rishe?
[19:24] Theodore
    Sister! What do I do? This is all my fault!
[19:27] Arnold
    No, it isn't.
[19:28] Theodore
    What?
[19:30] Arnold
    She's just sleeping.
[19:33] Theodore
    You can't be serious. In these circumstances?
[19:43] Arnold
    Theodore, you have a carriage
    at the ready, don't you?
[19:47] Theodore
    O-Of course I do.
[19:48] Theodore
    I'll call for it right away.
[19:50] Arnold
    I'll leave it to you.
[20:00] Theodore
    "I'll leave it to you," he said.
[20:03] Theodore
    My big brother. To me.
[20:27] Arnold
    You're already awake?
[20:29] Rishe
    Have you stayed with me all this time?
[20:32] Rishe
    I'm so very sorry!
[20:34] Arnold
    How are you?
[20:35] Rishe
    I'm fine now.
[20:37] Arnold
    Good.
[20:44] Theodore
    To my sister,
[20:45] Theodore
    I'm sorry for doing all
    those awful things to you.
[20:48] Theodore
    There are many things I want to say, but
    firstly, I promise to repay the debt I owe you.
[20:54] Theodore
    And you said you'd stop whatever it is that
    my brother is trying to do, didn't you?
[20:59] Theodore
    Given the way things are now,
    I'd like to help you with that.
[21:04] Theodore
    To that end, I'll let you
    borrow my people in the slums.
[21:07] Theodore
    That's what people refer to
    as a common front, right?
[21:09] Theodore
    Come to me for help any time.
[21:11] Theodore
    With due gratitude to me, of course.
[21:15] Theodore
    Lastly...
[21:17] Theodore
    thank you, Big Sister.
[21:20] Rishe
    You and Prince Theodore
    had a talk, didn't you?
[21:24] Arnold
    Why are you smiling like that?
[21:26] Rishe
    Because I'm happy, of course.
[21:33] Arnold
    Think of something else you want.
[21:37] Arnold
    My promise not to touch you.
[21:40] Arnold
    I broke it again, didn't I?
[21:50] Rishe
    I-I don't need anything!
[21:52] Rishe
    More importantly, the reason why
    Your Highness would do such a—
[21:55] Arnold
    Do you want to know why?
[21:56] Rishe
    I do not!
[22:00] Arnold
    Rishe.
[22:01] Rishe
    What is it now?
[22:04] Arnold
    Thank you for looking
    after my little brother.
[22:09] Rishe
    Not at all.
[22:10] Rishe
    He will be my little brother, too, after all.
[22:17] Arnold
    I see.

[00:01] Rishe
    Thank you.
[00:04] Rishe
    I heard that Sir Kamil and
    Elsie won't receive punishment.
[00:09] Theodore
    It's nothing to thank me for.
[00:12] Rishe
    While I'm thinking of it, I heard that
    the policies for improving the slums
[00:15] Rishe
    are going to move forward under
    your leadership, Prince Theodore.
[00:21] Theodore
    My brother asked me if I wanted to do it.
[00:24] Rishe
    Then, does that mean the both of you
    will be attending to official matters?
[00:29] Theodore
    Well, I suppose it does.
[00:32] Theodore
    Now, you didn't take the trouble to
    come here just to say that, did you?
[00:37] Rishe
    Actually, I have a favor to ask of you.
[00:43] Theodore
    What?
[00:44] Rishe
    This is something which will be
    essential for your brother as well.
[00:48] Theodore
    What do I do? I have no idea
    what my sister-in-law is saying.
[00:53] Rishe
    Please, Prince Theodore.
[02:30] Diana
    The preparations are complete.
[02:34] Rishe
    I'll be off now.
[02:36] maids
    Yes, my lady!
[02:42] Oliver
    An official letter from the
    Kingdom of Coyolles has arrived.
[02:57] Arnold
    Come in.
[03:01] Rishe
    How are you faring, Prince Arnold?
[03:03] Rishe
    Thank you for granting me your
    time in spite of how busy you are.
[03:08] Arnold
    What sort of business brings you here?
[03:10] Arnold
    You seem too tense to have come
    simply to see your fiancé's face.
[03:20] Rishe
    A room has been prepared for you
    at the villa, Your Highness.
[03:24] Arnold
    What?
[03:25] Rishe
    If you have the time, may I
    show you the room now?
[03:29] Arnold
    Why would this errand make you so nervous?
[03:32] Rishe
    My maids have worked
    eagerly and diligently on it.
[03:36] Rishe
    It's almost like a graduation exam for them.
[03:39] Rishe
    However, I can confidently assert that the
    room they've prepared is quite lovely.
[03:45] Arnold
    I had thought it was your wish
    to live in that villa alone.
[03:49] Rishe
    Of course not!
[03:51] Rishe
    I want to live there with you, Prince Arnold.
[03:56] Arnold
    I see.
[03:58] Arnold
    It seems you're plotting
    something amusing yet again.
[04:01] Rishe
    You make me sound awful!
[04:04] Arnold
    Very well.
[04:05] Arnold
    I'll go along with your scheme.
[04:07] Arnold
    Thanks to you, my mood has improved.
[04:10] Rishe
    Your mood?
[04:12] Arnold
    Let's go.
[04:19] Oliver
    Thank you.
[04:25] Rishe
    This is your private bedroom, Your Highness.
[04:28] Rishe
    What do you think? It's a
    splendid room, isn't it?
[04:31] Arnold
    Very impressive.
[04:33] Arnold
    This villa has been left
    abandoned for many years.
[04:36] Arnold
    You've been here a mere three weeks.
[04:39] Arnold
    To think you've already
    improved it this much.
[04:40] Rishe
    Thank you!
[04:42] Arnold
    You taught the novices starting
    with the basics, didn't you?
[04:44] Rishe
    Yes. Once they've learned a trade, they'll
    be able to make their living anywhere.
[04:48] Arnold
    And they'll gain something else, too.
[04:52] Arnold
    Pride.
[04:54] Arnold
    When they accomplish their work
    and earn the praise of another,
[04:57] Arnold
    it will give them a sense of pride.
[04:59] Arnold
    That sort of pride can help a person
    make the most of themselves.
[05:02] Arnold
    You have a talent for giving
    people a sense of self-respect.
[05:10] Arnold
    That's the expression you
    make when I compliment you?
[05:14] Rishe
    You're teasing me, aren't you?
[05:17] Arnold
    It may not seem like it,
    but it's heartfelt praise.
[05:19] Rishe
    Well, it's just too bad for you.
[05:21] Rishe
    Even if it's a lie, receiving a compliment
    from you makes me very happy.
[05:28] Rishe
    Out of the whole villa, this
    room gets the best light.
[05:38] Rishe
    The wind feels wonderful
    when you open the window,
[05:40] Rishe
    so it's perfect for an afternoon
    nap, don't you think?
[05:43] Arnold
    I never return to my chambers during the day.
[05:46] Arnold
    This room is next to yours, isn't it?
[05:48] Rishe
    Yes. I thought that would
    make it easier for the guards.
[05:52] Arnold
    And for me.
[05:54] Rishe
    What?
[05:54] Arnold
    Because I'll get wind of your
    reckless behavior beforehand.
[05:57] Rishe
    I'm planning to spend my time lazing about,
    so I won't be doing anything reckless.
[06:02] Rishe
    Not much, anyway.
[06:04] Arnold
    Idiot.
[06:06] Arnold
    You're free to do what you want,
[06:07] Arnold
    but don't do anything as reckless
    as you did the other day.
[06:10] Rishe
    I'm very sorry.
[06:13] Rishe
    Speaking of which, do you remember what we
    talked about at the party the other evening?
[06:17] Arnold
    What do you mean?
[06:18] Rishe
    When you said that you wanted
    to try sparring with me.
[06:23] (Flashback) Arnold
    It might be worthwhile for me to
    try sparring with you one day.
[06:26] (Flashback) Rishe
    I would like that very much!
[06:29] Arnold
    Yes, we did say that.
[06:32] Rishe
    Just once would be enough.
[06:33] Rishe
    Would you instruct me?
[06:35] Rishe
    Teach me using the special training methods
    Your Highness and the imperial knights use.
[06:41] Arnold
    What makes you say that they're special?
[06:44] Rishe
    Since coming to this palace, I've watched
    everyone train a number of times,
[06:48] Rishe
    but Your Highness' and the imperial knights'
    movement is clearly different from the rest.
[06:56] Arnold
    All right.
[06:57] Rishe
    What? Are you sure?
[07:00] Arnold
    I did promise to do anything
    you wished, after all.
[07:05] Rishe
    Oh, um... Thank you.
[07:08] Rishe
    That makes me incredibly happy.
[07:11] Arnold
    Happy?
[07:13] Rishe
    As far as I know, your sword work is the
    most beautiful, most powerful in all the world.
[07:22] Arnold
    In all the world, huh?
[07:24] Rishe
    Th-That's just a turn of phrase, of course!
[07:27] Arnold
    A skill that's only meant for killing
    people can't possibly be beautiful.
[07:32] Rishe
    Your Highness...
[07:35] Arnold
    I'll head to the practice
    grounds ahead of you.
[07:37] Arnold
    Change into some clothes
    that you can move in.
[07:43] Rishe
    Is this how you always practice?
[07:46] Arnold
    Not always.
[07:48] Arnold
    Once you've acquired an incorrect habit,
    it's too late to do anything about it.
[07:52] Rishe
    The arm and leg restraints are meant to
    help closely mimic battlefield conditions,
[07:56] Rishe
    so that you can continue to fight
    even if you've lost a limb.
[08:00] Rishe
    That's what this training is for, isn't it?
[08:03] Arnold
    As usual, your observations are impressive.
[08:06] Arnold
    Even if my arm is ripped off,
    I'll keep swinging my sword.
[08:09] Arnold
    Even if my leg is shattered,
    I'll continue to advance.
[08:12] Arnold
    And even if I should lose both my eyes,
[08:14] Arnold
    I'll keep looking, to the very last,
    for a path to cut down my enemy.
[08:18] Arnold
    Doing that will lead to
    a way for me to survive.
[08:21] Rishe
    I've heard that a knight's path
    pursues nobility and beauty.
[08:27] Rishe
    However, they will find a way to survive, no
    matter how unsightly their struggles may be.
[08:31] Rishe
    It's to survive that they kill their enemies.
[08:34] Rishe
    That way of thinking comes from
    Your Highness, doesn't it?
[08:38] Rishe; internal
    It's no wonder I was no match for him.
[08:40] Arnold
    Don't worry.
[08:42] Arnold
    I have no intention of injuring an opponent
    who's preparing for their marriage ceremony.
[08:49] Rishe
    If I win, will you give me an answer
    to one question, no matter what it is?
[08:55] Rishe
    In exchange, if I lose, I'll grant one wish
    of Your Highness', no matter what it may be.
[09:02] Arnold
    Very well.
[09:04] Rishe
    Then, if you would.
[09:07] Kamil
    Begin!
[09:11] Rishe; internal
    The longer our exchange of blows lasts,
    the greater my disadvantage.
[09:20] Rishe; internal
    A frontal attack!
[09:26] Arnold
    What's wrong? Is that all you've got?
[09:30] Rishe; internal
    My center of balance is unstable.
[09:32] Rishe; internal
    My instincts are trying to make me move
    the way I do when I can use my left arm.
[09:36] Rishe; internal
    If I adjust my center of
    balance... my reach will change.
[09:41] Rishe; internal
    I'll have to step in closer!
[09:45] Arnold
    Your movement's dulled!
     Don't rely on strength alone!
[09:48] Arnold
    Your footwork is growing careless!
[09:50] Arnold
    Make use of your nimbleness.
[09:52] Arnold
    Step in farther!
[09:54] Arnold
    Another step.
[09:55] Arnold
    Still not there.
[09:56] Arnold
    You see?
[09:59] Rishe; internal
    He really is impressive.
[10:01] Rishe; internal
    In this short exchange of blows,
[10:03] Rishe; internal
    he's telling me exactly what
    points I need to improve upon.
[10:09] Kamil
    It's only been a little while since Lady
    Rishe crossed swords with His Highness, but...
[10:14] Dennis
    You're right. In the blink of an eye,
    her movements have already improved.
[10:26] Rishe; internal
    Next, he'll come from above!
[10:34] Rishe; internal
    The same move as back then.
[10:38] Rishe; internal
    But even if I understand what's
    happening, my body can't keep up.
[10:43] Arnold
    Earlier, you said that my sword
    was the most powerful, didn't you?
[10:47] Arnold
    But that movement just now was that of
    someone who knows of a person stronger than me.
[10:53] Arnold
    Even as you're sparring with me, you're
    thinking of that person, aren't you?
[10:59] Arnold
    How enviable.
[11:02] Arnold
    I'm on the verge of becoming jealous.
[11:06] Rishe
    You jest.
[11:08] Rishe
    As I told you, you are the strongest
    person I know, Prince Arnold.
[11:15] Rishe; internal
    It's true. The prince of five years in the
    future was even stronger than he is now.
[11:20] Rishe; internal
    He was cruel and overwhelmingly formidable.
[11:25] Arnold
    Come at me.
[11:27] Arnold
    Focus on me a just little more.
[11:48] Rishe
    I'm not done yet!
[12:04] Arnold
    Very impressive.
[12:06] Arnold
    I wasn't planning on moving a single step.
[12:10] Rishe
    It seems you limited yourself
    quite a bit for my sake.
[12:14] Arnold
    Though it appears I greatly
    underestimated you.
[12:18] Rishe
    Thank you for your instruction.
[12:22] Arnold
    You'll do any one thing
    I want, is that right?
[12:26] Rishe
    Yes. Ask whatever you like of me.
[12:28] Rishe
    I won't go back on my word.
[12:31] Arnold
    Then, clear your afternoon
    for two days from now.
[12:34] Arnold
    We're going into town.
[12:35] Rishe
    Into town? To do what?
[12:39] Arnold
    I'll tell you when the time comes.
[12:44] Arnold
    What's wrong? Stand up.
[12:49] Rishe
    Um...
[12:52] Rishe
    I'm going to stay like this a little longer.
[12:54] Rishe
    Please go ahead and return without me.
[12:57] Arnold
    Why?
[13:00] Rishe
    The truth is... due to our sparring just
    now, my arms and legs are shaking.
[13:06] Arnold
    What?
[13:07] Rishe
    It seems my body wasn't able to keep up.
[13:10] Rishe
    So I'm going to rest a little.
[13:15] Rishe
    Your Highness?
[13:16] Arnold
    I'll only be touching you through my
    gloves, so it won't be a problem, right?
[13:21] Rishe
    What?
[13:21] Rishe
    What? Wait, Your Highness!
[13:31] Arnold
    Stop struggling. You'll fall.
[13:32] Rishe
    Um, it's just that this is...
[13:34] Arnold
    You can't stand, right?
[13:35] Rishe
    I can stand! I will stand!
    Please put me down!
[13:38] Arnold
    I can't go back and just leave
    my fiancée behind, can I?
[13:40] Rishe
    That may be true, but...
[13:45] Arnold
    While I'm thinking of it,
    what did you want to ask me?
[13:48] Rishe
    What?
[13:49] Arnold
    You said that if you won, I'd have
    to answer one question, right?
[13:54] Rishe
    Do you really think I
    can ask you like this?
[13:57] Rishe
    You're laughing?
[13:58] Rishe
    I knew it! You're having fun
    watching my reactions, aren't you?
[14:02] Arnold
    Am I?
[14:03] Rishe
    Then, when is your birthday?
[14:05] Arnold
    The 28th day of the 12th month.
[14:08] Rishe
    Oh, so you were born in the winter!
    Next, what are your interests?
[14:10] Arnold
    I don't have any in particular.
[14:12] Rishe
    What sorts of things do
    you like, Your Highness?
[14:14] Arnold
    I've never really thought about it.
[14:16] Rishe
    What type of woman do you prefer?
[14:17] Arnold
    And what are you planning
    to gain by asking that?
[14:32] Rishe
    Master Oliver.
[14:34] Oliver
    Well, well. Lady Rishe.
[14:36] Rishe
    Are you moving the office now?
[14:38] Oliver
    Yes. Thank you for preparing such
    a wonderful room for His Highness.
[14:43] Rishe
    Not at all.
[14:44] Rishe
    By the way, where is the prince?
[14:47] Oliver
    Actually, last night he suddenly had
    to take command of the night watch,
[14:50] Oliver
    so he hasn't slept yet.
[14:52] Rishe
    What?
[14:53] Oliver
    I've implored him to take a nap, but
    he has his official duties to perform.
[14:57] Oliver
    He doesn't show any signs of resting.
[15:03] Rishe
    Please rest, Your Highness.
[15:06] Arnold
    Oliver said something unnecessary, didn't he?
[15:09] Rishe
    Staying up all night
    will take its toll on your body.
[15:11] Arnold
    I won't be able to sleep anyway.
[15:13] Arnold
    During the day, I can feel all sorts
    of people's presences in the palace.
[15:20] Rishe
    All right.
[15:24] Rishe
    Then I shall lull you
    to sleep, Prince Arnold.
[15:28] Arnold
    What?
[15:36] Rishe
    Now then, I will stay by your side,
    so please don't worry, just rest.
[15:44] Arnold
    Sometimes you say things
    that make no sense at all.
[15:48] Rishe
    If I'm here, I don't think you'll
    be distracted by far off presences.
[15:53] Arnold
    You're right about that.
[15:55] Rishe
    Then please, get some rest.
[16:23] Rishe
    This doesn't seem to be working.
[16:29] Rishe
    May I lie by your side?
[16:38] Rishe
    Pardon the intrusion.
[16:53] Arnold
    What are you doing?
[16:56] Rishe
    Imitating a heartbeat like this is a
    technique for calming the heart and mind.
[17:03] Rishe; internal
    In my life as a maid, I
    often used to do this for my lady.
[17:08] Rishe
    If you do this for a young child,
    they'll quickly fall asleep.
[17:13] Arnold
    A young child?
[17:18] Arnold
    You're probably the only person
    who would treat me like that.
[17:44] Arnold
    If you're curious about
    it, do whatever you like.
[18:02] Arnold
    Stop that.
[18:04] Arnold
    You really...
[18:05] Rishe
    I-I'm sorry. That must have tickled.
[18:11] Arnold
    If we were going to do this,
    then I should have worn gloves.
[18:14] Arnold
    If I had, then I could
    have made a counter-stroke.
[18:18] Rishe
    It isn't as though touching me with gloves
    or through cloth makes it all right!
[18:24] Arnold
    It was a joke.
[18:32] Rishe; internal
    His Highness is so sincere
    and oddly conscientious.
[18:38] Rishe; internal
    While I, on the other hand...
[18:46] Rishe
    Please go ahead.
[18:49] Arnold
    And do what?
[18:51] Rishe
    I felt I wasn't being fair.
[18:54] Rishe
    If it would make Your Highness feel better,
[18:56] Rishe
    then you should touch me
    and have your reven—
[18:59] Arnold
    Are you doing this on purpose?
[19:02] Rishe
    Honestly, Your Highness!
[19:08] Arnold
    For my revenge... I'll show mercy and
    settle for that expression of yours.
[19:14] Arnold
    You're a strange one.
[19:16] Arnold
    You think nothing of sleeping beside me,
[19:18] Arnold
    but meeting my eyes when we're
    this close unsettles you.
[19:23] Rishe
    I wanted to put a charm on you.
[19:25] Arnold
    A charm?
[19:26] Rishe
    This palace isn't a battlefield.
[19:29] Rishe
    It's Your Highness' home, isn't it?
[19:31] Rishe
    That's why I hoped you would feel even a
    little more at ease so that you could sleep.
[19:37] Arnold
    Then stay here until I fall asleep.
[19:42] Arnold
    It's far more pleasant than an empty room.
[19:48] Rishe
    All right.
[20:04] Arnold
    You're awake?
[20:11] Rishe
    Your Highness...
[20:16] Rishe
    Prince Arnold, why are you here?
[20:19] Arnold
    Don't you remember climbing
    into this bed yourself?
[20:24] Rishe
    W-Were you able to sleep?
[20:26] Arnold
    That's the first thing you want to know?
[20:30] Rishe
    In any case, I do beg your pardon.
[20:32] Rishe
    I'll leave your room right
    away. Please don't worry.
[20:34] Arnold
    Wait.
[20:35] Rishe
    Huh?
[20:36] Rishe
    Wha—
[20:39] Oliver
    Excuse me, Your Highness!
[20:40] Arnold
    Stay quiet for just a little while.
[20:47] Arnold
    Come in.
[20:50] Arnold
    What's wrong?
[20:52] Oliver
    We've received reports. Were you sleeping?
[20:56] Oliver
    Lady Rishe spoke to you, then.
[20:59] Oliver
    If you're able to spend time
    comfortably in your new chambers,
[21:03] Oliver
    then that's wonderful.
[21:04] Arnold
    Keep it brief. I'll listen to it here.
[21:07] Oliver
    As you command.
[21:12] Oliver
    Then, I'll go back to work.
[21:15] Oliver
    Please be sure to rest thoroughly.
[21:17] Arnold
    Stop nagging.
[21:18] Arnold
    I understand, so hurry up and go away.
[21:20] Oliver
    Yes, of course.
[21:21] Oliver
    Well then, good night.
[21:29] Arnold
    It's all right now.
[21:31] Rishe
    I-I know.
[21:33] Rishe
    I know, but...
[21:44] Elsie
    Welcome back, Lady Rishe.
[21:47] Rishe
    Thank you, Elsie.
[21:49] Elsie
    A package has arrived from
    the Aria Trading Company.
[21:52] Rishe
    Thank you.
[22:01] Rishe; internal
    Starting tomorrow, I'm going to be very busy.
[22:07] knight captain
    That will be the ten day training schedule
    for all of you knight candidates.
[22:13] knight captain
    I have high hopes for your progress.
[22:15] Lucius; knight candidates
    Yes, sir!

[01:36] instructor knight
    You're falling behind, Lucius!
[01:38] Rishe
    Sir!
[01:41] (Flashback) Rishe
    Please, Prince Theodore.
[01:44] (Flashback) Theodore
    Don't you think you're
    making use of me in the wrong way?
[01:48] (Flashback) Theodore
    You said you want to join the knight
    candidates' training as a man, right?
[01:52] (Flashback) Theodore
    I'm not sure that's a good idea.
[01:55] (Flashback) Theodore
    Why should I help you?
[01:57] (Flashback) Rishe
    You sent me a letter the
    other day, didn't you?
[02:00] (Flashback) Rishe
    It said I could rely on your help.
[02:02] (Flashback) Theodore
    Yes, I wrote that! I wrote that, but...
[02:06] (Flashback) Theodore
    But why do you need to
     sneak in to begin with?
[02:09] (Flashback) Theodore
    You could just have a knight
    assigned to instruct you.
[02:11] (Flashback) Rishe
    If I did that, they'd surely
    try to be considerate of me,
[02:14] (Flashback) Rishe
    and I want to be trained without any mercy.
[02:16] (Flashback) Theodore
    Unbelievable. To think you'd willingly
    choose to go and be treated harshly.
[02:20] (Flashback) Theodore
    I could never do it.
[02:23] (Flashback) Theodore
    Hold on.
[02:28] (Flashback) Rishe
    Your Highness?
[02:29] (Flashback) Theodore
    Very well! I shall assist
    my lovely older sister.
[02:33] (Flashback) Theodore
    I will exert every effort
    to make your wish come true.
[02:37] (Flashback) Rishe
    Um, why the sudden change?
[02:39] (Flashback) Theodore
    Well, it seems entertaining, doesn't it?
[02:43] (Flashback) Theodore
    I think that even my older brother
    would never be able to anticipate it.
[02:46] (Flashback) Theodore
    Who'd ever think, "My wife is going to
    dress as a man to infiltrate the knights"?
[02:49] (Flashback) Theodore
    How could I not take the opportunity
    to surprise my brother like this?
[02:53] (Flashback) Rishe
    It isn't as though I'm doing this
    to shock Prince Arnold, you know.
[03:00] (Flashback) Theodore
    I would love to see the look
    on my brother's face, whatever it is.
[03:11] instructor knight
    That's enough for today! Dismissed!
[03:13] knight candidates
    Thank you, sir!
[03:17] Rishe; internal
    This is Galkhein's basic training?
[03:21] Fritz
    Are you all right, Lucius?
[03:24] Rishe
    Fritz. Thanks, but I'll be all
    right after I rest a little.
[03:28] Fritz
    I'll join you.
[03:30] Fritz
    Even if I head back to the
    inn, I'll just be alone.
[03:33] Rishe
    Inn?
[03:34] Fritz
    I came here from Ceutena.
[03:36] Fritz
    Have you heard of it? It's
    a port town in the north.
[03:39] Rishe
    That's where ships from
    Coyolles dock, isn't it?
[03:43] Fritz
    Yes, it's a great town.
[03:45] Fritz
    If I didn't look up to that person so much,
[03:47] Fritz
    I'd never have aimed to be a knight, and I'd
    probably have lived my whole life in that town.
[03:51] Rishe
    That person?
[03:52] Fritz
    Prince Arnold!
[03:54] Fritz
    The war hero!
[03:56] Fritz
    Master of the sword!
[03:57] Fritz
    He's just so amazing, don't you think?
[03:59] Rishe
    Yes...
[04:00] Fritz
    I want to become a great knight,
    just like Prince Arnold.
[04:04] Lawvine
    You there.
[04:06] Lawvine
    You mustn't refer to members of the
    imperial family in that manner.
[04:09] Lawvine
    You must be careful to call him
    His Highness, the crown prince.
[04:12] Fritz
    Y-Yes, sir!
[04:14] Lawvine
    As long as you understand.
[04:15] Lawvine
    Raise your heads.
[04:18] Fritz
    You're... Count Lawvine!
[04:21] Rishe; internal
    His Lordship, Count Lawvine?
[04:23] Rishe; internal
    He's the guardian of the north and a loyal
    retainer to the Galkhein imperial family.
[04:27] Rishe; internal
    But three years from now,
[04:28] Rishe; internal
    Prince Arnold, who will have become emperor,
[04:30] Rishe; internal
    will declare him a monstrous
    criminal, and he'll be slaughtered.
[04:35] Rishe; internal
    H-Has he noticed
    I'm only dressed as a ma—
[04:37] Lawvine
    Do you like to eat chicken?
[04:39] Rishe
    Huh?
[04:40] Rishe
    Y-Yes, I do!
[04:42] Lawvine
    I see. In that case, you
    should eat more of it.
[04:46] Lawvine
    From what I can see, you have less
    muscle mass than the average man.
[04:50] Rishe
    Y-Yes, sir!
[04:52] Lawvine
    Starting tomorrow, I will
    be joining your instructors.
[04:55] Lawvine
    I look forward to working with you.
[04:56] Fritz
    What?
[04:58] knight 1
    Your Lordship, it's nearly time for your
    audience with His Majesty, the emperor.
[05:02] Lawvine
    Yes, I'll go immediately.
[05:04] Lawvine
    If you'll excuse me.
[05:05] Rishe
    Thank you, sir!
[05:06] Fritz
    Thank you, sir!
[05:36] Rishe
    Elsie, I'm back.
[05:37] Elsie
    Welcome home.
[05:48] Rishe
    Prince Arnold.
[05:49] Rishe
    Good morning.
[05:51] Rishe
    Were you able to sleep last night?
[05:53] Arnold
    Yes.
[05:57] Rishe
    Your Highness?
[06:00] Arnold
    Tomorrow afternoon at two,
    come to the western back gate.
[06:04] Arnold
    Don't let anyone see you.
[06:09] Rishe
    Should I dye my hair?
[06:10] Arnold
    No, that isn't necessary.
[06:12] Rishe
    I see. Then, I will arrive in clothes
    that will look natural in town.
[06:21] Elsie
    Um, Lady Rishe?
[06:24] Rishe
    Yes?
[06:25] Elsie
    Why were you speaking
    secretly with Prince Arnold?
[06:28] Rishe
    The truth is that the prince and
    I are going into town tomorrow.
[06:31] Elsie
    What sort of business is taking you there?
[06:35] Rishe
    I'm certain it must be some
    sort of official business.
[06:39] Rishe
    It would be best to wear
    something that won't stand out.
[06:42] Rishe
    A brown linen dress and a
    simple gray robe would—
[06:45] Elsie
    Lady Rishe!
[06:46] Elsie
    Please leave it to me.
[06:48] Rishe
    What?
[06:48] Rishe
    L-Leave what to you?
[06:50] Elsie
    I promise I will make you lovelier
    than anyone else ever could.
[06:53] Rishe
    What?
[07:03] Arnold
    Now that we've made it this
    far, we should be all right.
[07:05] Arnold
    You can lower your hood.
[07:09] Arnold
    Don't worry. None of the
    citizens here know your face.
[07:13] Rishe
    Th-That's true.
[07:29] Rishe
    I know exactly what you want to say!
[07:31] Rishe
    I had guessed that this must
    be official business...
[07:35] Rishe
    but being dressed too plainly
    would stand out, too!
[07:37] Arnold
    Since it's you, I thought you'd come
    in a linen dress and plain robe.
[07:41] Rishe
    Am I really that predictable?
[07:44] Arnold
    Is this your maid's doing?
[07:47] Arnold
    Those clothes pose no problems.
[07:49] Rishe
    Truly?
[07:50] Arnold
    I must give your maid my highest praise.
[07:53] Arnold
    Let's go.
[07:54] Rishe
    What?
[07:55] Rishe
    Please wait for me!
[08:07] Rishe
    The marketplace!
[08:10] Arnold
    It's just a marketplace,
    the kind you'd find anywhere.
[08:12] Rishe
    That's not true!
[08:15] Rishe
    Those are Coquito's famous grapes!
[08:17] Rishe
    Those are rare saloof bird eggs!
[08:19] Rishe
    And could those be—
[08:27] Rishe
    A-A marketplace does, of course, show
    the current economic conditions,
[08:30] Rishe
    but it also reflects the public
    peace of the surrounding areas.
[08:38] Rishe; internal
    A pocket watch?
[08:41] Rishe
    Your Highness? Is there something over there?
[08:43] Arnold
    You want to see the marketplace, don't you?
[08:48] Rishe
    Thank you!
[08:54] merchant lady
    What do you think? These are fresh berries!
[08:57] merchant man
    These are a specialty from Coyolles!
[08:58] merchant man
    They've just come in from Ceutena!
[09:01] merchant man
    Young lady, I'll give you a discount!
[09:05] Rishe
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[09:07] Arnold
    Wait.
[09:09] Arnold
    What is that disquieting object?
[09:10] Rishe
    A fruit from Coyolles.
[09:12] Rishe
    It looks a little unusual, but it's very
    nutritious, so it's good for the body.
[09:16] Arnold
    I said, wait. No matter how I think
    about it, that appearance is—
[09:19] Rishe
    It's good for the body.
[09:28] Rishe
    How do you like it? It's sweeter
    than it looks, I think.
[09:34] Arnold
    It tastes like it's nutritious.
[09:36] Rishe
    My, what a bitter expression!
[09:44] Arnold
    We should get moving.
[09:45] Arnold
    If we stay in one place for too long,
    Oliver's deputies will find us.
[09:55] Rishe; internal
    He isn't executing official duties today?
[10:02] Arnold
    The proprietor here doesn't
    come to the palace.
[10:05] Arnold
    Thanks to that, it becomes
    necessary for me to come here.
[10:15] Mihaela
    We've been awaiting your arrival.
[10:19] Mihaela
    To be employed by Your Highness, the
    crown prince, brings us great joy and—
[10:22] Arnold
    No need for speeches. Raise your heads.
[10:26] Mihaela
    It's an honor to meet you.
[10:28] Mihaela
    I'm the proprietor of this
    store, Mihaela Laure Weilman.
[10:33] Rishe
    Pleased to meet you. My name
    is Rishe Irmgard Weitzner.
[10:42] Rishe
    How beautiful!
[10:43] Mihaela
    We are humble jewelers.
[10:46] Mihaela
    Lady Rishe, among these stones,
[10:49] Mihaela
    which do you think is a fake?
[10:52] Rishe
    What?
[10:53] Arnold
    Rishe.
[10:55] Arnold
    Try answering her.
[11:12] Rishe
    I don't know.
[11:14] Mihaela
    What a clear answer.
[11:16] Mihaela
    Being able to answer so
    honestly is a wonderful—
[11:19] Rishe
    So, Madam Proprietor,
[11:21] Rishe
    may I borrow some appraisal tools?
[11:24] Mihaela
    Pardon me?
[11:34] Rishe; internal
    Each one has a high degree of transparency,
    and the cuts are very fine.
[11:39] Rishe; internal
    However...
[11:43] Rishe
    These stones...
[11:44] Rishe
    all three of them are
    imitations, aren't they?
[11:47] Mihaela
    I failed to recognize your skills.
[11:49] Mihaela
    You are the first to request appraisal tools.
[11:54] Rishe
    That said, they truly are beautiful.
[11:57] Rishe
    Even knowing that they are imitations,
[12:00] Rishe
    I'm sure there must be many people
    who love and care for these stones.
[12:08] Mihaela
    You are...
[12:11] Mihaela
    I find myself admiring you more and more.
[12:14] Rishe
    What? Oh, but I haven't done
    anything to warrant it!
[12:16] Mihaela
    Our merchandise in this store
    is only sold to a select few.
[12:21] Mihaela
    I would very much like to show you our wares.
[12:26] Arnold
    If you've approved of her, then
    give her exactly what she wishes.
[12:30] Mihaela
    Yes, we will ready our wares with pleasure.
[12:33] Rishe
    What? What is going on here?
[12:36] Rishe
    I thought I was accompanying Your Highness
    to fulfill your wishes, wasn't I?
[12:41] Arnold
    The one thing I wish from you...
[12:44] Arnold
    is for you to allow me to
    gift you a ring. That's all.
[12:47] Rishe
    What? A ring?
[12:49] Mihaela
    His Highness, the crown prince,
[12:50] Mihaela
    seeks a ring to give to his bride
    during the wedding ceremony.
[12:54] Mihaela
    Now, I will prepare a few things and return.
[12:58] Rishe; internal
    Ring? Bride?
[13:00] Rishe; internal
    Why? For what purpose?
[13:02] Rishe; internal
    In Galkhein, a ring shouldn't be necessary.
[13:06] Rishe; internal
    But more importantly...
[13:08] Rishe
    How did our sparring
    match lead you to this conclusion?
[13:10] Arnold
    If I said, "I'll buy you a
    ring, so pick what you'd like,"
[13:13] Arnold
    I can't imagine that you'd
    quietly make your choice.
[13:17] Arnold
    You wouldn't accept others buying
    things to give to you, would you?
[13:21] Arnold
    The stones they have here are first-class.
[13:24] Arnold
    I have no intention of letting
    money be an obstacle.
[13:26] Rishe
    But, Your Highness, I don't think that
    I can readily accept such a valuable—
[13:30] Arnold
    If you have a ring made here,
[13:32] Arnold
    then my idle wealth, which I have no
    means of using, will fall to the town.
[13:35] Arnold
    It will help the economy.
[13:39] Rishe
    I see. In that case...
[13:42] Rishe
    I shall make my choice!
[13:44] Rishe
    With utmost sincerity and
    with everything I have in me!
[13:52] Rishe; internal
    The ring will be put on me
    during the wedding,
[13:54] Rishe; internal
    so maybe a diamond would be best?
[13:57] Rishe; internal
    Or, perhaps, to match my eyes... an emerald?
[14:11] Mihaela
    I ask out of solicitude, but
    may I offer a suggestion?
[14:15] Rishe
    Yes, please do.
[14:17] Mihaela
    Putting on a favorite piece of
    jewelry and wearing it proudly...
[14:20] Mihaela
    Just that simple action can
    fill a girl with courage.
[14:26] Mihaela
    This will become your very
    own protective amulet.
[14:28] Mihaela
    Pick something you genuinely like.
[14:31] Mihaela
    For example, Lady Rishe,
    what color do you like?
[14:35] Rishe
    What color do I like?
[14:47] Rishe; internal
    Like crystal clear ice from a
    frozen sea in a cold country...
[14:52] Rishe; internal
    That sort of color...
[14:56] Rishe
    Do you have a stone here that
    is the same color as his eyes?
[15:08] Rishe
    Wait...
[15:11] Mihaela
    Oh, my! My, my!
[15:13] Rishe
    No, it isn't like that!
[15:15] Rishe
    What I just said didn't
    carry any unusual meaning!
[15:17] Rishe
    I really have no hidden purpose,
[15:18] Rishe
    it's only that I've always liked
    the color of Prince Arnold's eyes,
[15:21] Rishe
    and thought that it's pretty, that's all!
[15:24] Mihaela
    You've always thought that, have you?
[15:27] Mihaela
    If you'll wait just a moment please.
[15:29] Mihaela
    I have something I'd like
    to recommend to you.
[15:31] Rishe
    Madam Proprietor!
[15:38] Rishe
    Please, forget what just happened here.
[15:46] Rishe
    Oh, this beautiful sunset
    is illuminating the palace!
[15:55] Arnold
    Why the third finger of your left hand?
[15:58] Rishe
    What?
[15:59] Arnold
    When they measured your ring size, you
    indicated that finger, didn't you?
[16:06] Rishe
    I suppose you say it's a
    notion I've always had.
[16:09] Rishe; internal
    Putting a ring on the third finger
    of the left hand during the wedding
[16:13] Rishe; internal
    is the custom in the country I was born in.
[16:16] Rishe
    But, Your Highness, why did you
    decide to give me a ring at all?
[16:19] Arnold
    No particular reason. And the fact that
    it's a ring holds no specific meaning.
[16:24] Arnold
    But you often work with
    your hands, don't you?
[16:29] Arnold
    To have an ornament I gave
    you on those fingers...
[16:34] Arnold
    I was certain that it
    would make me feel good.
[16:37] Rishe
    That's...
[16:49] Rishe
    Then, the morning that it's finished...
[16:51] Rishe
    I'll show you before anyone else.
[16:54] Arnold
    Good.
[17:10] Rishe; internal
    Could it be?
[17:12] Rishe
    Come to think of it, I heard
    that Count Lawvine had arrived.
[17:17] Rishe
    Whose guest is he?
[17:19] Arnold
    I called him here.
[17:20] Arnold
    He's the best qualified person to
    instruct the knight candidates.
[17:27] Rishe
    Your Highness...
[17:28] Rishe
    who are you waiting for in this place?
[17:31] Arnold
    That's quite an abrupt question.
[17:34] Rishe
    Count Lawvine protects a
    very important location.
[17:39] Rishe
    I can't imagine that you'd call him
    here simply to train the recruits.
[17:45] Arnold
    And what made you think that
    I'm waiting for someone?
[17:48] Rishe
    Your Highness frequently
    checked your pocket watch.
[17:52] Rishe
    I thought that you were concerned about
    what time to return to the palace,
[17:56] Rishe
    but since we arrived here, you
    haven't once taken out your watch.
[18:00] Rishe
    Additionally, this is a spot where one
    can observe people entering the capital.
[18:08] Arnold
    The other day, a letter
    arrived from another country.
[18:13] Arnold
    It said that the sender wouldn't
    be able to attend the wedding,
[18:15] Arnold
    so they would come to celebrate in advance.
[18:18] Arnold
    Before I could send a reply to say that
    wouldn't be necessary, another letter arrived.
[18:23] Arnold
    It said that they wanted to
    celebrate as soon as possible,
[18:25] Arnold
    so they'd leave without awaiting a reply.
[18:29] Rishe
    At the marketplace, someone was selling
    fruit that had just arrived from Coyolles.
[18:33] Rishe
    The sender of the letter
    was on that same ship?
[18:36] Arnold
    Given the information from my scouts and
    the time it takes a carriage to travel...
[19:00] (Flashback) Kyle; previous life
    Weitzner,
[19:02] (Flashback) Kyle; previous life
    I want to protect this kingdom.
[19:09] Rishe; internal
    Prince Kyle...
[19:15] Arnold
    Earlier, Kyle had an audience
    with His Majesty, my father,
[19:18] Arnold
    and he was given permission to stay.
[19:20] Rishe
    As I thought, he must have a
    particular aim in coming here.
[19:27] knight 2
    The Prince of Coyolles, His Highness Kyle
    Morgan Cleverly, is here to see you.
[19:33] Kyle
    I congratulate you on the occasion
    of your marriage, Prince Arnold.
[19:38] Kyle
    I, Kyle Morgan Cleverly, representing
    my father, King of Coyolles,
[19:43] Kyle
    hastened here to in hopes
    of celebrating the event.
[19:45] Arnold
    You have taken many pains
    to travel all this way.
[19:48] Arnold
    For that I offer my heartfelt gratitude.
[19:51] Rishe; internal
    There is a great difference in strength
    between this empire and Coyolles.
[19:56] Rishe; internal
    Coyolles is a country which
    produces gems, gold, and silver.
[19:59] Rishe; internal
    They're wealthy, but...
[20:02] Rishe; internal
    for most of the year, they're
    virtually cut off by snow.
[20:04] Rishe; internal
    For food and other necessities of daily life
[20:07] Rishe; internal
    they must depend upon trade with
    their neighboring countries.
[20:10] Rishe; internal
    And five years from now,
[20:11] Rishe; internal
    they are destroyed in the war
    that Prince Arnold instigates.
[20:16] Arnold
    Rishe.
[20:17] Rishe
    Yes, Prince Arnold?
[20:22] Arnold
    This is Rishe, who will be my wife.
[20:24] Rishe
    I'm honored to meet you.
[20:26] Rishe
    My name is Rishe Irmgard Weitzner.
[20:29] Kyle
    I am extraordinarily delighted to meet you.
[20:32] Kyle
    I knew that anyone who would become Prince
    Arnold's wife must surely be a magnificent lady...
[20:43] Kyle
    but I never imagined anyone
    of such a caliber as yourself.
[20:47] Kyle
    You are a warm, beautiful goddess.
[20:51] Rishe
    I am undeserving of such words, Prince Kyle.
[20:54] Rishe; internal
    More important than these
    empty social pleasantries...
[20:54] Kyle; background
    Even the gold which my
    kingdom is so proud of,
[20:56] Rishe; internal
    Prince Kyle has far too
    little color in his face!
[20:56] Kyle; background
    is no match for the brilliance
    emanating from you, Lady Rishe.
[20:59] Kyle; background
    Even flowers at the height of their
    beauty, blooming in profusion,
[20:59] Rishe; internal
    His skin is already pale to begin
    with, but he looks nearly blue now!
[21:01] Kyle; background
    would feel shamed in your presence.
[21:13] Rishe
    Did you learn something?
[21:15] Arnold
    I can't quite grasp it.
[21:17] Arnold
    Everything he said was innocuous.
[21:19] Arnold
    He didn't show even a sliver
    of his true intentions.
[21:20] Rishe
    What?
[21:21] Rishe
    Then, earlier, the look you had, like you
    were about to kill with your gaze...
[21:25] Rishe
    What was that?
[21:27] Arnold
    More importantly, Kyle seems to have brought
     a number of academics from Coyolles.
[21:32] Rishe
    What?
[21:34] (Flashback) Michel; previous life
    Your color has improved tremendously, Kyle.
[21:39] Rishe; internal
    It couldn't be.
[21:42] Arnold
    If you want to hear what they have
    to say, too, I'll make arrangements.
[21:45] Rishe
    I would be happy to!
[21:47] Rishe
    Actually, I've heard that
    Prince Kyle is very weak,
[21:50] Rishe
    and I have a medicine
    I'd like for him to try!
[21:53] Rishe
    If the scholars he has
    with him will permit it,
[21:56] Rishe
    then there won't be any need
    to slip the drug into his food!
[22:01] Rishe
    That was a joke.
[22:02] Arnold
    It didn't sound like a joke.
[22:05] Arnold
    First, tomorrow there will be a welcome
    feast for him, though it will be a bother.
[22:09] Rishe
    Of course. I will have the preparations made.
[22:12] Arnold
    I'll have Kyle and Lawvine
    meet face-to-face there.
[22:15] Arnold
    Whatever Kyle might be plotting,
[22:18] Arnold
    that should serve to keep him in check.
[22:20] Arnold
    Hey, why are you making that expression?
[22:22] Rishe
    Oh, it's nothing!
[22:25] Rishe; internal
    If Count Lawvine comes to the
    party tomorrow evening...
[22:30] Rishe; internal
    the fact that I'm Lucius will be revealed!

[00:11] Rishe; internal
    I have to make it through
    the evening party without
[00:14] Rishe; internal
    Count Lawvine discovering my double identity.
[00:17] Rishe; internal
    And...
[00:19] Rishe; internal
    I'd like to somehow find a way to get
    Prince Kyle to take this medicine.
[00:22] Rishe; internal
    If he doesn't receive treatment,
    in the near future...
[00:25] Rishe; internal
    his illness will keep him
    from even being able to stand.
[00:38] Michel
    What a surprise.
[00:41] Michel
    I thought that anyone caring for
    an herb garden of this sort...
[00:44] Michel
    must be someone in a profession
    similar to mine, but...
[00:50] Michel
    Good evening,
[00:52] Michel
    person who seems to be akin to me.
[00:58] Rishe; internal
    Professor Michel!
[02:49] (Flashback) Michel
    What do you think of the aurora?
[02:51] (Flashback) Michel
    Has it given you a hint to your research?
[02:53] (Flashback) Rishe
    Yes! Very much so!
[02:55] (Flashback) Michel
    I'm glad to hear that.
[02:57] (Flashback) Rishe
    I'm sorry, Professor, asking you to
    travel all this way to bring me here.
[03:01] (Flashback) Michel
    Why are you apologizing?
[03:03] (Flashback) Michel
    You're my student,
[03:06] (Flashback) Michel
    so whatever it is you want to
    see, I want to help you see it.
[03:10] (Flashback) Michel
    If there's something you
    don't know, I'll teach you.
[03:13] (Flashback) Michel
    Though, when you want to achieve something
    solely through your own efforts, I won't interfere.
[03:22] Rishe; internal
    In my third life, this man was my teacher.
[03:28] Kamil
    Pardon my insolence, but may I ask your name?
[03:33] Michel
    Oh, my apologies if I've startled you.
[03:37] Michel
    I am Michel Hévin.
[03:39] Michel
    I'm here from Coyolles.
[03:41] Kamil
    If you've lost your way,
[03:43] Kamil
    we can escort you back to your room.
[03:45] Michel
    How kind of you.
[03:47] Michel
    But I'm not lost.
[03:49] Michel
    I'm interested in the young lady there.
[03:52] Kamil
    This individual is our empire's—
[03:54] Rishe
    It's all right.
[03:58] Rishe
    My name is Rishe Irmgard Weitzner.
[04:02] Rishe
    Master Hévin, might you be a scholar?
[04:04] Michel
    A scholar, you say?
[04:06] Michel
    That may be the simplest way to put it.
[04:10] Michel
    Your nails.
[04:12] Michel
    You used sap from the
    gelwood tree, didn't you?
[04:15] Michel
    Though, it seems you've
    used dyes to add color.
[04:18] Michel
    What method did you use to harden it?
[04:22] Rishe
    I took lish grass and gibi
    nectar, added labed leaf,
[04:25] Rishe
    and compounded them together with glue.
[04:27] Michel
    Did you refrain from using kirith
    leaf in order to prevent air bubbles?
[04:31] Rishe
    You seem to know everything about it already.
[04:34] Michel
    It's no more than a logic-based theory.
[04:38] Michel
    What do you think would happen
    if you mixed in some estoma sap?
[04:42] Rishe
    I think it might harden even further.
[04:45] Rishe
    Though, that's only a hypothesis, at most.
[04:48] Rishe
    The actual results would
    require verification.
[04:51] Michel
    You're quite an admirable young lady.
[04:53] Michel
    So admirable that were it possible, I
    would like to take you as my apprentice.
[04:59] Rishe
    If you wouldn't mind, just for the
    time that you're staying here,
[05:02] Rishe
    may I receive your
    instruction on various matters?
[05:04] Michel
    Yes. I don't mind at all.
[05:07] Rishe
    Thank you so much!
[05:08] Rishe
    Then, Master Hévin, this means
    you'll be like a professor to me!
[05:12] Michel
    A professor, is it?
[05:14] Michel
    That sounds like fun.
[05:18] Rishe; internal
    I never imagined the day would come that
    I'd be able to call him "Professor" again.
[05:27] Michel
    By the way, my student,
[05:30] Michel
    the herbs in this garden lie
    slightly outside my expertise,
[05:35] Michel
    so this is only a guess,
[05:39] Michel
    but are you perhaps intending
    to give Kyle some manner of medicine?
[05:48] Kyle
    Lady Rishe, I never imagined I'd have the
    good fortune of seeing you twice in one day.
[05:53] Rishe
    Please, don't hold to formalities
    for my sake. Speak as you wish.
[05:57] Kyle
    Then, if I may take you at your word...
[06:01] Kyle
    Michel, what are you doing?
[06:04] Michel
    I've found this amazing girl!
[06:07] Michel
    I thought you might want
    to meet her, too, Kyle.
[06:09] Kyle
    This individual is His Highness,
    the crown prince's fiancée.
[06:12] Michel
    Really? Is she?
[06:15] Michel
    But she's become my student, you see?
[06:18] Kyle
    What?
[06:20] Michel
    The herbal medicine she's compounded
    seems like it would work for you, Kyle.
[06:24] Kyle
    Herbal medicine?
[06:26] Michel
    It's outside my field, but I felt you
    should be used in this experiment, Kyle.
[06:31] Riche
    Professor! You shouldn't use the
    prince of a kingdom in an experiment!
[06:35] Michel
    Oh, have I made a blunder?
[06:38] Michel
    Common sense is such a
    difficult thing, isn't it?
[06:41] Michel
    But I truly do, from the bottom of
    my heart, want Kyle to get well.
[06:47] Kyle
    All right.
[06:48] Rishe
    Are you sure?
[06:50] Kyle
    The greatest scholar in my kingdom
    says he wants me to try this medicine.
[06:54] Kyle
    From the beginning...
[06:56] Kyle
    I have been resolved to use any method
    necessary to cure this disease.
[07:03] Rishe
    Then, I will prepare it immediately.
[07:11] Rishe
    Here it is.
[07:14] Rishe
    The truth is that there is one
    problem with this medicine.
[07:19] Kyle
    Please, tell us.
[07:22] Rishe
    This medicine...
[07:26] Rishe
    is incredibly revolting in flavor.
[07:29] Kyle
    The flavor is incredibly revolting?
[07:32] Michel
    Oh, is that all?
[07:34] Michel
    Kyle will be just fine.
[07:36] Michel
    After all, he's a very strong boy.
[07:38] Michel
    He's earnest and hard-working, too.
[07:40] Michel
    Right?
[07:42] Kyle
    Lady Rishe, if this is the ordeal
    which has been bestowed upon me,
[07:47] Kyle
    I need only face it down with
    all of my strength and spirit.
[07:51] Michel
    I know. I'll feed it to you!
[07:54] Rishe
    Professor! You mustn't! At
    least ready some water first!
[07:56] Michel; background
    Here you go.
[07:57] Kyle
    Wait, I—
[08:04] Rishe
    Are you all right?
[08:08] Kyle
    I am.
[08:10] Michel
    So, Kyle, what does it taste like?
[08:12] Michel
    What is the flavor like?
[08:15] Kyle
    Bitter mixed with sour, and
    mingled with the two...
[08:18] Kyle
    a particular stench, like that
    of a horse stable, swoops in.
[08:22] Kyle
    Th-Then, after swallowing, a strange
    sweetness wraps around the tongue like a slimy—
[08:27] Rishe
    There's no need to explain each stage!
[08:29] Michel
    Shall we try to get a clearer
    grasp of the flavor?
[08:29] Rishe
    Excuse me! Please bring some water!
[08:31] Kyle
    Y-Yes, sir!
[08:32] Michel
    Here. One more sip.
[08:34] Rishe
    Professor!
[08:42] Michel
    Now, my student, would you like to look
    at this until your escort arrives?
[08:55] Rishe
    Professor, this is—!
[08:56] Michel
    My research records.
[08:59] Michel
    They're too difficult for Kyle.
[09:01] Michel
    He said that no one would
    be able to understand them.
[09:08] Michel
    You truly are a most intriguing girl.
[09:18] Michel; past
    Rishe, you truly hate
    this medicine, don't you?
[09:27] (Flashback) Michel
    You're an intelligent girl.
[09:29] (Flashback) Michel
    If you have a flaw,
[09:31] (Flashback) Michel
    it might be that you only want to use your
    knowledge and skills to make people happy.
[09:38] (Flashback) Michel
    I think it's a mistake for you
    to determine others' happiness.
[09:44] (Flashback) Michel
    If something is born into this world
    as a poison, then its reason for being...
[09:47] (Flashback) Michel
    would be to fulfill its role and bring
    misfortune to people, don't you think?
[09:52] (Flashback) Rishe
    Is it truly impossible for a poison
    to bring someone happiness?
[09:59] (Flashback) Rishe
    The idea that someone is born
    to bring misfortune to others...
[10:02] (Flashback) Rishe
    that preconception in itself
    isn't like you, Professor.
[10:05] (Flashback) Michel
    There's no need to worry.
[10:07] (Flashback) Michel
    This compound hasn't been perfected yet.
[10:11] (Flashback) Michel
    It's complete, but I've been unable to obtain
     the human resources necessary for testing.
[10:15] (Flashback) Michel
    Someone who will use this
    compound exactly as I wish...
[10:19] (Flashback) Michel
    Such a person doesn't exist.
[10:24] Rishe; internal
    The professor and I...
[10:27] Rishe; internal
    we just couldn't come to understand each
    other when it came to that compound.
[10:31] Rishe; internal
    I wonder if the professor has met the
    kind of person he was looking for.
[10:37] Dennis
    P-Pardon the intrusion!
[10:40] Dennis
    Lady Rishe, your escort has arrived.
[10:43] Rishe
    What?
[10:44] Arnold
    Rishe, we're leaving.
[10:46] Rishe
    Prince Arnold...
[10:48] Rishe
    Your Highness, why are you here?
[10:57] Rishe
    This is Michel Hévin, a scholar.
[11:00] Rishe
    He is incredibly knowledgeable
[11:01] Rishe
    and he'll be teaching me all
    sorts of things while he's here.
[11:06] Michel
    I am honored to receive such an introduction.
[11:09] Michel
    I suppose I should present
    myself as well as possible here.
[11:14] Michel
    Good evening.
[11:15] Michel
    You're this empire's crown prince, I assume?
[11:19] Michel
    It seems you've granted permission for
    us to enter your imperial library.
[11:23] Michel
    Thank you.
[11:25] Arnold
    If you should require anything for your
    exchange of knowledge with my future wife,
[11:29] Arnold
    I will procure it.
[11:31] Arnold
    Ask for whatever it may be.
[11:34] Michel
    Then, I won't refrain from
    making many requests of you.
[11:40] Rishe
    Why did you suddenly come to escort me?
[11:42] Arnold
    I was on my way back anyway.
[11:44] Arnold
    Are you always out and about this late?
[11:47] Rishe
    When I become absorbed in my work,
[11:49] Rishe
    I find myself forgetting the time.
[11:52] Rishe
    Oh, but I slept until this afternoon,
    so please don't worry.
[11:58] Arnold
    Here.
[12:05] Arnold
    Use that.
[12:06] Rishe
    What? But this pocket watch
    is such a precious item!
[12:10] Arnold
    It doesn't bother me. Since
    it's easy to carry around,
[12:13] Arnold
    I found it convenient to have for battles.
[12:15] Rishe
    By "battles," do you mean
    in strategizing for battles?
[12:19] Arnold
    Yes. There are some who doubt them
    because they haven't existed for long,
[12:24] Arnold
    but it's just a tool which
    accurately tells the time.
[12:27] Rishe; internal
    His Highness's thinking is flexible
    enough to adopt new technologies.
[12:32] (Flashback) Michel
    Someone who will use this
    compound exactly as I wish...
[12:36] (Flashback) Michel
    Such a person doesn't exist.
[12:43] Arnold
    What is it?
[12:44] Rishe
    It's nothing.
[12:46] Rishe
    I'll take you at your word and
    indulge myself by borrowing this.
[12:49] Rishe
    Now that I think about it, my master
    in herbalism found these useful, too.
[12:55] Arnold
    Your master?
[12:56] Rishe
    Yes. A truly incredible
    herbalist from Renhua.
[13:01] Arnold
    How does that man compare
    to this master of yours?
[13:04] Rishe
    Professor Michel isn't an herbalist.
[13:07] Rishe
    Though, he does use herbal medicines in
    his research, so he has the knowledge.
[13:11] Arnold
    Then who is he?
[13:14] Rishe
    He researches all the substances in
     the world and creates new substances.
[13:19] Rishe
    That's the sort of scholar he is.
[13:21] Arnold
    He creates new substances, you say?
[13:24] Rishe
    In Professor Michel's case, he says that
    his objective isn't the creation of gold,
[13:29] Rishe
    but if we were to call him by the title
    which most closely describes his work...
[13:35] Rishe
    it would be "alchemist."
[13:47] Rishe; internal
    At tonight's party,
[13:48] Rishe; internal
    I have to act cleverly so that Count
    Lawvine doesn't notice anything.
[13:55] Elsie
    Lady Rishe.
[13:56] Elsie
    A letter has arrived for you.
[13:58] Rishe
    Thank you.
[14:02] Rishe; internal
    Madame Mihaela.
[14:08] Mihaela
    I said that the piece would
    take a month to complete,
[14:11] Mihaela
    but I've made a request of an artisan
    visiting Galkhein from Coyolles,
[14:15] Mihaela
    so it's likely that the date of
    delivery will be much sooner.
[14:18] Rishe; internal
    Changing artisans makes
    this much of a difference?
[14:28] Rishe
    How beautiful!
[14:51] Rishe
    Your Highness.
[14:52] Rishe
    The fact that you find
    this tedious is showing.
[14:55] Arnold
    I'm showing that on purpose.
[14:57] Arnold
    It isn't a problem.
[14:59] Kyle
    Prince Arnold.
[15:02] Kyle
    For you to prepare an event
    such as this for my sake...
[15:06] Kyle
    I am entirely unworthy of it.
[15:08] Kyle
    Lady Rishe, tonight you are
    indescribably beautiful.
[15:12] Rishe
    Thank you.
[15:14] Rishe
    How do you find you've
    been feeling since then?
[15:17] Kyle
    Thanks to you, I'm feeling much better.
[15:19] Rishe
    That's the most important thing.
[15:22] Rishe
    Prince Arnold, I'm going to
    go and speak with the ladies.
[15:27] Rishe
    Prince Kyle, please do enjoy yourself.
[15:36] Rishe; internal
    I've finished giving my greetings,
[15:38] Rishe; internal
    so I've met my most basic obligations.
[15:41] Rishe; internal
    All that's left is...
[15:46] Rishe; internal
    Now... focus.
[16:17] Rishe; internal
    I found him.
[16:19] Rishe; internal
    It's been a while, but that went very well.
[16:22] Rishe; internal
    I never imagined that experience from my fifth
    life would prove useful in a place like this.
[16:34] Rishe; internal
    I must keep my focus...
[16:38] Rishe; internal
    and keep anyone from noticing
    that I'm avoiding Count Lawvine.
[16:40] lady 1; background
    How are you, Lady Rishe?
[16:43] Rishe
    How are you?
[16:45] Weilman
    I'm honored to meet you, Lady Rishe.
[16:48] Rishe
    No, the honor is mine. I'm very happy
    to speak with you, Lord Weilman.
[16:54] Weilman
    After hearing what happened from my mother,
    I've been looking forward to meeting you.
[16:58] Rishe
    Your mother?
[17:01] Weilman
    I heard that you were kind enough to
    visit my mother's shop the other day.
[17:05] nobleman 1
    He can't mean that that
    difficult proprietress...
[17:07] noblewoman 2
    Even Her Majesty, the empress
    wasn't accepted as a client.
[17:10] Rishe
    Oh, could you mean...
[17:13] (Flashback) Mihaela
    I'm the proprietor of this
    store, Mihaela Laure Weilman.
[17:19] Rishe
    I merely picked out a stone.
[17:21] Rishe
    The one who sought to purchase
    something there was Prince Arnold.
[17:24] noblewoman 1
    My!
[17:25] noblewoman 2
    Prince Arnold giving a woman jewelry?
[17:28] Rishe; internal
    I was surprised, too.
[17:31] Rishe
    Speaking of which, I was informed that the
    delivery date will be much sooner than anticipated.
[17:36] Rishe
    I understand that it's because an artisan
    from Coyolles was entrusted with the work,
[17:41] Rishe
    but would that really make
    this great a difference?
[17:43] Weilman
    Coyolles' jewelry artisans
    possess superior techniques.
[17:48] Weilman
    The speed they can complete fine,
    detailed work at is completely different.
[17:51] Rishe
    Really? I suppose I should expect no less
    from a country which produces gems and metals.
[17:58] Rishe; internal
    Count Lawvine seems to be standing still.
[18:09] Kyle
    Prince Arnold,
[18:11] Kyle
    please, will you lend Coyolles your strength?
[18:16] Kyle
    Instead of aid through money or medical care,
[18:18] Kyle
    we would like to receive Galkhein's
    support through military means.
[18:23] Kyle
    As you know, Coyolles' military
    strength is all but nonexistent.
[18:28] Kyle
    Our kingdom is allowed to exist
    because we provide gems and metals.
[18:35] Kyle
    If our neighboring nations so wished,
[18:38] Kyle
    they could destroy us at any
    time, and they threaten to do so.
[18:41] Kyle
    I want to extricate us from this situation
[18:43] Kyle
    and obtain a method to protect our citizens!
[18:48] Arnold
    You're saying that Coyolles wants
    to forge an alliance with Galkhein.
[18:52] Kyle
    It's just as you say.
[18:57] Arnold
    I've been wondering what
    you were going to say.
[19:00] Arnold
    You pushed your disease-weakened body on
    that long journey to come here for this?
[19:07] Arnold
    The value of the existence of a royal family
    lulled into naïvety by peace is questionable.
[19:14] Arnold
    Even if, hypothetically, we
    moved this discussion forward,
[19:16] Arnold
    what does Coyolles intend
    to bring to our empire?
[19:19] Kyle
    We will promise to give exports of gems and
    metals to your empire the highest priority.
[19:25] Kyle
    Even if our kingdom makes
    no profit whatsoever.
[19:29] Rishe; internal
    That won't work, Prince Kyle.
[19:31] Rishe; internal
    You aren't suited to telling lies.
[19:34] Arnold
    Don't make me laugh.
[19:36] Arnold
    If I were in your place, I would be sure to
    attach a period of effectiveness to that offer.
[19:42] Arnold
    The gems which serve as the
    kingdoms greatest source of funds
[19:44] Arnold
    cannot continue to be supplied with
    no regard to profit indefinitely.
[19:49] Kyle
    That's...
[19:50] Arnold
    It's clear why you've come
    here with such a suggestion.
[19:55] Arnold
    Coyolles' mineral resources have
    already nearly run dry, haven't they?
[20:01] Rishe; internal
    Yes, that's right.
[20:07] Arnold
    It's incomprehensible to me.
[20:09] Arnold
    Your actions are nothing more
    than the actions of a fool.
[20:16] Kyle
    My life... isn't likely to last much longer.
[20:23] Kyle
    A new life is about to be
    born into my royal family!
[20:28] Kyle
    For the sake of that child's future,
    and for the sake of our people...
[20:32] Kyle
    I must do whatever I can right now.
[20:36] Kyle
    From what I've researched, Prince
    Arnold, you care for your people,
[20:41] Kyle
    and run a government which
    extends a helping hand to them.
[20:44] Kyle
    If it were you, then—
[20:46] Arnold
    This isn't worth discussing any further.
[20:48] Kyle
    Please wait!
[20:50] Kyle
    Please, Prince Arnold!
[20:52] Kyle
    Please help Coyolles!
[20:56] Arnold
    You seem to be mistaken about something.
[21:01] Arnold
    Rather than joining hands with another
    country, invading and taking control of it...
[21:06] Arnold
    that suits me much better.
[21:17] Rishe; internal
    Five years from now...
[21:19] Rishe; internal
    Prince Arnold will have become emperor
    and will wage war on the world.
[21:23] Rishe; internal
    Coyolles will fight Galkhein.
[21:30] Rishe; internal
    And so many lives will be...
[21:36] Rishe; internal
    But Prince Kyle has confronted Prince
    Arnold and proposed an alliance.
[21:42] Rishe; internal
    This is a branching point in history
    which could change the future.
[21:48] (Flashback) Kyle
    Weitzner, I want to protect this kingdom.
[21:52] (Flashback) Kyle
    To accomplish that, I intend
    to do whatever it takes.
[21:57] (Flashback) Kyle
    As someone born into this, someone who has
    lived beyond his time, I have duties to perform,
[22:02] (Flashback) Kyle
    and this is the greatest of them all!
[22:08] Rishe; internal
    Prince Kyle may be prepared for Coyolles
[22:12] Rishe; internal
    to become a vassal state to
    Galkhein if it means an alliance.
[22:16] Rishe; internal
    But...
[22:17] Rishe; internal
    that would only change who
    is in control of the nation.
[22:21] Rishe; internal
    Unless a relationship of
    equal standing is created...
[22:26] Rishe; internal
    But how?

[00:12] Michel
    Has something happened?
[00:18] Kyle
    There's absolutely no hope in sight.
[00:20] Michel
    Is this about His Highness?
[00:24] Kyle
    Apparently, it's more in his nature to invade
[00:27] Kyle
    and take control of another country
     instead of joining forces with them.
[00:32] Michel
    Really?
[00:35] Michel
    He said that?
[01:00] Michel; internal
    At last, I've found him.
[01:03] Michel; internal
    Someone who understands poison...
[01:06] Michel; internal
    a sovereign who might use it the right way.
[02:51] Rishe; internal
    If the negotiations with
    Prince Arnold fail like this,
[02:55] Rishe; internal
    Coyolles might be invaded.
[02:59] Rishe; internal
    And if that happens...
[03:02] Lawvine
    You're enthusiastic for
    this early in the morning.
[03:04] Rishe
    Lord Lawvine.
[03:07] Lawvine
    But I see hesitation in your sword.
[03:13] Rishe
    The truth is...
[03:14] Rishe
    my thoughts had turned
    in an unworthy direction.
[03:17] Lawvine
    By unworthy, you mean...
[03:21] Rishe
    If one day we go to war with another country,
[03:26] Rishe
    everyone here will go
    into battle, won't they?
[03:29] Lawvine
    They will.
[03:33] Rishe
    I find myself afraid of a future like that.
[03:37] Lawvine
    It's only natural to find it terrifying.
[03:39] Rishe
    What?
[03:41] Lawvine
    My son lost his life in the last war.
[03:45] Lawvine
    I'm proud of my son for fighting so bravely.
[03:51] Lawvine
    However...
[03:53] Lawvine
    in equal measure to that sense of pride...
[03:55] Lawvine
    I wish that my son had lived.
[03:59] Rishe
    Lord Lawvine.
[04:02] Lawvine
    A war means that people will
    be robbed of their futures.
[04:05] Lawvine
    Others will steal them away.
[04:07] Lawvine
    To conquer the fear of that,
    one can only stand and fight.
[04:12] Rishe
    Stand and fight?
[04:15] Lawvine
    I mean that you shouldn't deny
    your own hopes and feelings.
[04:19] Lawvine
    You should use them as fuel to move forward.
[04:24] Lawvine
    "What is it that I can do?"
[04:27] Lawvine
    Find the answer to that question.
[04:33] Rishe
    Thank you, Lord Lawvine!
[04:36] Lawvine
    Then, I shall see you later.
[04:43] Rishe; internal
    I don't want to die in some war.
[04:46] Rishe; internal
    I don't want Coyolles to fall into ruin.
[04:49] Rishe; internal
    But that isn't all.
[04:52] (Flashback) Arnold
    Rather than joining hands
    with another country,
[04:54] (Flashback) Arnold
    invading and taking control of it...
[04:57] (Flashback) Arnold
    that suits me much better.
[05:00] Rishe; internal
    You aren't that kind of person.
[05:03] Rishe; internal
    I want you to understand that, Prince Arnold.
[05:10] Lawvine
    And so, we have a special
    observer for your training,
[05:16] Lawvine
    the Crown Prince of the Empire,
[05:19] Lawvine
    Prince Arnold Hein.
[05:21] Rishe; internal
    Why is Prince Arnold here?!
[05:32] Rishe; internal
    No matter how you look at
    this, I've been found out!
[05:38] Arnold
    I want to see the trainees move.
[05:40] Lawvine
    Sir.
[05:41] Rishe; internal
    Could this mean that he'll
    overlook my actions?
[05:48] Rishe; internal
    Of course not.
[05:50] Arnold
    So, what exactly are you trying to do here?
[05:54] Rishe
    Well, um...
[05:57] Rishe
    I am most pleased to meet you, Your Highness.
[06:03] Rishe
    That you would personally speak
    to a mere knight candidate
[06:06] Rishe
    makes me feel both humbled and delighted.
[06:09] Arnold
    Really?
[06:10] Arnold
    If you are not the person I think you are...
[06:15] Arnold
    then that would mean there is
    no issue with my touching you.
[06:26] Arnold
    Come now. Quickly, try to refute it.
[06:30] Rishe
    Prince Arnold, please step away for a moment!
[06:33] Arnold
    I refuse.
[06:34] Rishe
    If you continue, someone is sure to see!
[06:36] Arnold
    Is there some problem with that?
[06:38] Rishe
    Yes, there is!
[06:39] Arnold
    How so?
[06:40] Rishe
    Y-You have a fiancée, don't you?
[06:48] Arnold
    Well, yes, I do.
[06:49] Rishe
    You do, don't you? I thought so!
[06:51] Arnold
    Still...
[06:53] Arnold
    your manner of speech is quite disrespectful
    for a mere knight candidate.
[06:58] Rishe
    My deepest apologies.
[07:01] Arnold
    I don't know what it is
    you're apologizing for.
[07:04] Arnold
    Tell me with your own lips what you've done.
[07:09] Rishe
    I-I didn't tell Your Highness
    anything and dressed as a boy
[07:12] Rishe
    so I could join the knight
    candidates' training!
[07:15] Rishe
    I am truly, very sorry!
[07:18] Arnold
    Well done.
[07:22] Arnold
    But why are you doing this?
[07:25] Rishe
    Because...
[07:28] Rishe
    this training you've thought up...
[07:30] Rishe
    I wanted to undergo it, too.
[07:39] Arnold
    If you wish to continue,
    there are conditions.
[07:43] Arnold
    You must be sure to rest.
[07:45] Arnold
    And make sure that no one
    finds out your gender.
[07:48] Rishe
    What?
[07:49] Arnold
    Can you keep to those?
[07:50] Rishe
    Yes! Thank you!
[07:55] Arnold
    Are you enjoying this training that much?
[07:58] Rishe
    Yes!
[08:00] Rishe
    Prince Arnold, the training you've
    thought up is truly magnificent!
[08:04] Rishe
    Your intention to carefully help the
    knights to grow comes through clearly!
[08:08] Arnold
    Capable people are the empire's treasures.
[08:15] Rishe; internal
    But sending these knights into
    battle in the future will be...
[08:22] Rishe
    I overheard your conversation
    with Prince Kyle.
[08:26] Arnold
    I'm sure you did.
[08:28] Arnold
    I believe I can predict what you're thinking.
[08:32] Arnold
    You believe that we should
    form an alliance with Coyolles
[08:34] Arnold
    and you're going to try to
    convince me, aren't you?
[08:37] Arnold
    But there is no value in a country
    that has lost all its power.
[08:42] Arnold
    When a nation's collapse
    is only a matter of time,
[08:44] Arnold
    the only question is how
    to deal the final blow.
[08:49] Rishe
    Prince Arnold, from time to time
    you are the most incredible liar.
[08:55] Arnold
    You're free to think
    whatever you like of me,
[08:59] Arnold
    but remember this...
[09:01] Arnold
    For this empire, war is not a cruel choice.
[09:06] Arnold
    It's simply one means of politics.
[09:20] Rishe; internal
    The first time I met Prince
    Kyle was when I was a trader.
[09:28] (Flashback) Kyle
    In this rain,
[09:29] (Flashback) Kyle
    protecting your wares on the road
    must have been very difficult.
[09:33] (Flashback) Kyle
    Our kingdom lacks material resources.
[09:35] (Flashback) Kyle
    It's traders like you who support us and
    allow us to preserve our daily lives.
[09:41] (Flashback) Kyle
    I wish to express my deepest
    respect and gratitude to you.
[09:46] Rishe; internal
    Though he was a member of the royal family,
[09:47] Rishe; internal
    he was someone who treated people
    of different stations with respect.
[09:53] Rishe; internal
    The second time I met him was
    in my life as an herbalist.
[09:58] Rishe; internal
    Then, too, he was someone who acted
    from his heart when dealing with me.
[10:01] Rishe; internal
    And the third time...
[10:04] (Flashback) Kyle
    I will speak with my father
    about the research funds.
[10:07] (Flashback) Kyle
    Because I know that
    you two will produce results.
[10:11] (Flashback) Kyle
    I swear that I will make him agree!
[10:16] (Flashback) Kyle
    It worked?
[10:19] (Flashback) Kyle
    Congratulations.
[10:20] (Flashback) Kyle
    More than anything else, the fact that your
    unwavering hard work has been rewarded
[10:23] (Flashback) Kyle
    makes me truly happy.
[10:30] Rishe; internal
    It's because Prince Kyle is like that...
[10:33] Rishe; internal
    that I...
[10:40] Rishe
    Your Highness, starting today, I'd like
    you to start taking these pills as well.
[10:45] Rishe
    Though, the flavor is just as awful.
[10:48] Kyle
    If it means that this body
    of mine will move properly,
[10:51] Kyle
    then it's nothing to me.
[10:56] Rishe
    Prince Kyle, the truth is that
    at the party the other evening,
[11:00] Rishe
    I happened to overhear your
    conversation with Prince Arnold.
[11:06] Kyle
    You saw me in a most embarrassing situation.
[11:09] Kyle
    In truth, the polite thing to do would
    have been to leave the country after that.
[11:12] Kyle
    However, I cannot afford to give up.
[11:16] Rishe
    Didn't you think that it might be dangerous?
[11:19] Rishe
    During the war, Prince Arnold beheaded
    members of royal families of enemy nations.
[11:24] Rishe
    You're aware of that, aren't you?
[11:28] Kyle
    Everything from the fruits of Prince
    Arnold's battles to his political measures...
[11:31] Kyle
    I've investigated everything I could.
[11:34] Kyle
    It seems to have been
    camouflaged very cleverly,
[11:37] Kyle
    but the care shown for the common
    people in domestic policies...
[11:39] Kyle
    I'm certain that it's his
    intention at work there.
[11:43] Kyle
    Killing the monarchs of enemy
    lands in the last war...
[11:46] Kyle
    it was done to prevent the seeds of further
    trouble. It was a form of compassion.
[11:51] Kyle
    That's how I think of it.
[11:53] Kyle
    And, the reality is...
[11:56] Kyle
    even if His Highness is a
    cruel and barbarous person,
[11:59] Kyle
    it doesn't change what I must do.
[12:05] Rishe
    I have a request to make of you, Prince Kyle.
[12:09] Rishe
    Won't you first form a
    modest alliance with me?
[12:14] Kyle
    An alliance?
[12:16] Rishe
    In order to convince Prince Arnold,
[12:20] Rishe
    I will need your strength.
[12:34] Rishe
    Thank you so much!
[12:36] Rishe
    Everything in it was incredibly intriguing!
[12:40] Michel
    You love to learn, don't you?
[12:42] Rishe
    Yes, very much so!
[12:44] Rishe
    Learning new things, whatever they
    might be, makes me very excited.
[12:48] Rishe
    The world gets wider and wider,
[12:50] Rishe
    and even the view I saw yesterday
    looks different to me!
[12:55] Michel
    That settles it for me.
[12:58] Michel
    You aren't suited to be an empress.
[13:02] Rishe
    Professor...
[13:03] Michel
    You should just come and join me.
[13:06] Michel
    If you did, then if there were anything
    you didn't know, I would teach you.
[13:11] Rishe
    Thank you for your invitation,
[13:13] Rishe
    but I am here to marry Prince Arnold.
[13:18] Michel
    Arnold Hein, is it?
[13:21] Michel
    I understand why you're drawn to him.
[13:24] Michel
    I'm interested in him, too.
[13:29] Michel
    It seems he's turned down Kyle's request.
[13:33] Michel
    And the reasons he gave for his refusal
    were exactly the sort of thing I love.
[13:37] Michel
    If it were Arnold Hein, then I have the
    feeling that he'd use it quite effectively...
[13:42] Michel
    this compound I've created,
    which I call black powder.
[13:49] Michel
    I've been looking for so long!
[13:51] Michel
    I never imagined that I'd meet
    the right person in this country.
[13:58] Rishe
    Despite his appearance, His
    Highness is a very kind person.
[14:02] Rishe
    Even if he said some harsh
    words to Prince Kyle,
[14:05] Rishe
    it's likely that he didn't truly—
[14:07] Michel
    Say, Rishe!
[14:08] Michel
    Will you help me meet with him?
[14:11] Rishe
    Of course.
[14:12] Rishe
    I'll see if he can make
    some time for you soon.
[14:16] Michel
    Then, let's go and see him right now!
[14:18] Rishe
    His Highness is very
    busy, so a sudden visi—
[14:21] Michel
    If he's as kind as you say,
    then I'm sure he'd forgive us.
[14:26] Rishe
    Well, that's...
[14:27] Michel
    I understand.
[14:29] Michel
    The truth is that you don't want
    me to meet with him, right?
[14:37] Michel
    You...
[14:39] Michel
    haven't asked me what
    black powder is, have you?
[14:50] Rishe; internal
    The professor told me all
    about black powder...
[14:53] Rishe; internal
    back in my third life.
[14:56] (Flashback) Rishe
    So, you won't cease your
    experiments, no matter what?
[15:00] (Flashback) Michel
    I'm sorry, Rishe.
[15:02] (Flashback) Rishe
    Not even if it means that many
    people will lose their lives?
[15:07] (Flashback) Michel
    "That which humans have created
    must be used the right way."
[15:12] (Flashback) Michel
    There's a problem with this warning.
[15:16] (Flashback) Michel
    Which is that no one can accurately
    define what "the right way" is.
[15:26] (Flashback) Michel
    If this black powder of
    mine is used the right way,
[15:29] (Flashback) Michel
    I'm sure that this world
    would easily be destroyed.
[15:32] (Flashback) Michel
    But would that really be wrong?
[15:37] (Flashback) Michel
    "How will the things I
    create change the world?"
[15:42] (Flashback) Michel
    Is wanting to see that
    really such a bad thing?
[15:49] (Flashback) Rishe
    Professor...
[15:55] (Flashback) Michel
    Farewell, my student.
[16:01] (Flashback) Michel
    I sincerely hope that your life
[16:05] (Flashback) Michel
    will unfold in a way that you feel is right.
[16:12] Rishe; internal
    I couldn't accept this black powder.
[16:18] Michel
    It will turn the world on
    its head and scramble it.
[16:21] Michel
    I've been looking for a leader capable
    of using it for so very, very long!
[16:27] Michel
    A leader like Arnold Hein.
[16:39] Rishe; internal
    I must find a way to establish friendly
    relations between Coyolles and Galkhein.
[16:44] Rishe; internal
    And with Professor Michel in that state,
[16:47] Rishe; internal
    he'll stop at nothing to
    approach Prince Arnold.
[16:51] Rishe; internal
    If he does, then His Highness will
    use black powder in the war and—
[16:58] Rishe
    Prince Theodore?
[17:01] Theodore
    I heard he found out. About
    you dressing as a boy.
[17:07] Rishe
    I'm very sorry.
[17:09] Theodore
    I had mixed feelings about you being
    able to completely deceive my brother,
[17:12] Theodore
    so I don't particularly mind.
[17:14] Rishe
    Still, the news reached you very quickly.
[17:18] Theodore
    Well, my retainers are
    outstanding, after all.
[17:20] Theodore
    Whatever my brother does, no matter
    where he is, I know about it right away.
[17:24] Theodore
    I have a perfect information network set up.
[17:27] Theodore
    And it isn't just my big
    brother I hear about.
[17:30] Theodore
    I've got my sister-in-law in there, too.
[17:32] Theodore
    I've already looked into the
    backgrounds of the knight candidates.
[17:35] Theodore
    If anything happened to you, I
    wouldn't know how to face my brother.
[17:39] Rishe
    Thank you!
[17:41] Theodore
    It's nothing. And it's not
    that I'm worried for you.
[17:45] Theodore
    I'm doing this for my brother.
[17:48] Rishe
    I understand.
[17:54] Rishe
    Actually, I have a favor to
    ask of you, Your Highness.
[17:59] Rishe
    May I borrow your outstanding
    retainers for a short while?
[18:05] Theodore
    Is it something that will help my brother?
[18:08] Rishe
    No. In fact, it would be an act of
    rebellion against Prince Arnold.
[18:14] Theodore
    I like it.
[18:15] Theodore
    Since it sounds like fun, I'll join you.
[18:19] Rishe
    Then, we've come to an understanding.
[18:38] (Flashback) Michel's father
    Because you were born,
[18:40] (Flashback) Michel's father
    my wife is dead.
[18:44] (Flashback) Michel's father
    Which is why you must atone.
[18:48] (Flashback) Michel's father
    You were born to bring us misfortune,
    you harbinger of death!
[18:55] Michel; internal
    Whether I was hungry...
[18:57] Michel; internal
    or I was lonely...
[18:59] Michel; internal
    the field of learning always accepted me.
[19:04] Michel; internal
    Knowledge swiftly entered my
    mind and settled into my body.
[19:09] Michel; internal
    It was just like breathing,
    or drinking water.
[19:14] (Flashback) Michel's father
    This child has inherited my genius.
[19:18] (Flashback) Michel's father
    Use him as much as you like in my place.
[19:21] Michel; internal
    After being allowed into the
    laboratory, my world expanded.
[19:26] Michel; internal
    If I wanted to know something and
    performed enough experiments...
[19:30] Michel; internal
    my efforts would always be repaid.
[19:33] (Flashback) researcher 1
    What is going on here?
[19:36] (Flashback) researcher 2
    To think he'd be so adept at making
     something that would kill people...
[19:41] Michel; internal
    After some time, a war broke out.
[19:45] Michel; internal
    Everything burned.
[19:48] Michel; internal
    All of the alchemists in the laboratory...
[19:51] Michel; internal
    everyone, including my
    father, lost their lives.
[19:59] Michel; internal
    It was by chance that I created it.
[20:02] Michel; internal
    A compound capable of destroying everything.
[20:11] Michel; internal
    That was black powder.
[20:16] (Flashback) Michel's father
    You truly are a harbinger of death.
[20:20] Michel; internal
    It's just as my father said.
[20:22] Michel; internal
    It seems I've been born to
    bring misfortune to others.
[20:41] Rishe; internal
    In the past, I was unable to
    convince Professor Michel.
[20:51] Rishe
    Professor...
[20:55] Michel
    Well, hello, Rishe.
[20:57] Michel
    Have you managed to find a
    way for me to meet with him?
[21:02] Rishe
    Professor, do you truly intend to
    give black powder to Prince Arnold?
[21:12] Michel
    If something has been born as a poison,
[21:14] Michel
    then only in fulfilling its task
     will it find its true place.
[21:19] Michel
    Everything, no matter what, must fulfill
    the role for which it was born.
[21:26] Michel
    My own existence is the same.
[21:29] Michel
    A person who was born to
    upset the ways of the world
[21:33] Michel
    must act in accordance with that duty.
[21:37] Rishe; internal
    Even back in my third life, the
    professor said these same things.
[21:43] Rishe
    Even if many people will
    lose their lives for it?
[21:48] Michel
    That's right.
[21:50] Michel
    Black powder's reason for being...
[21:52] Michel
    is to bring misfortune to others.
[21:59] Michel
    I'm sorry, Rishe.
[22:01] Michel
    It isn't that I want to
    say mean things to you.
[22:04] Michel
    That's the honest truth.
[22:09] Michel
    This is the calling I've been given.
[22:16] Rishe; internal
    I'm certain that the professor will
    use any means necessary to give
[22:20] Rishe; internal
    black powder to Prince Arnold.
[22:24] Michel
    Good night, Rishe.
[22:29] Rishe; internal
    If things keep going this way...
[22:31] Rishe; internal
    I won't be able to stop the professor.

[00:04] (Flashback) Arnold
    There is no value in a country
    that has lost all its power.
[00:06] (Flashback) Arnold
    When a nation's collapse
    is only a matter of time,
[00:09] (Flashback) Arnold
    the only question is how
    to deal the final blow.
[00:13] (Flashback) Rishe
    I have a request to make of you, Prince Kyle.
[00:17] (Flashback) Rishe
    Won't you first form a
    modest alliance with me?
[00:23] Rishe; internal
    In order to avoid a future in
    which Coyolles is destroyed,
[00:25] Rishe; internal
    I've formed an alliance with Prince Kyle.
[00:29] Rishe; internal
    However...
[00:31] (Flashback) Michel
    If it were Arnold Hein, then I have the
    feeling that he'd use it quite effectively...
[00:37] (Flashback) Michel
    this compound I've created,
[00:39] (Flashback) Michel
    which I call black powder.
[00:43] Rishe; internal
    Professor Michel's aim is to find out
[00:45] Rishe; internal
    how large an effect black
    powder will have on the world.
[00:49] Rishe; internal
    To achieve that end, the professor
[00:51] Rishe; internal
    will surely point out black
    powder's power to Prince Arnold.
[00:57] Rishe; internal
    I must find a way to stop the professor's
    experiment, no matter what it takes.
[03:02] Rishe; internal
    These are leto fireflies.
[03:04] Rishe; internal
    They're so beautiful!
[03:34] Rishe
    G-Good evening.
[03:37] Arnold
    Indeed.
[03:46] Rishe
    What are these?
[03:48] Rishe
    They're fireflies.
[03:50] Arnold
    Fireflies.
[03:54] Arnold
    If you wish for them to be
    exterminated, I'll give the order.
[03:58] Rishe
    What? Why?
[04:00] Arnold
    If they're fireflies, then
    they're bugs, aren't they?
[04:02] Rishe
    Yes, they are bugs, but you mustn't
    thoughtlessly exterminate them.
[04:07] Rishe
    All animals, humans included, are
    part of one large cycle, you see.
[04:15] Rishe
    Besides...
[04:20] Rishe
    You see? They're so beautiful!
[04:28] Arnold
    Yes, indeed.
[04:33] Rishe; internal
    What a strange feeling.
[04:36] Rishe; internal
    All of the things I'm worried about
    stem from His Highness, and yet...
[04:47] Rishe
    Somehow they all seem to be flying
    toward Your Highness, don't they?
[04:50] Arnold
    Then you should just come over here.
[04:53] Rishe
    I suppose you're right.
[04:56] Rishe
    This much would probably be...
[04:59] Arnold
    Hey. You wouldn't—
[05:34] Rishe
    Prince Arnold...
[05:37] Rishe
    I, um...
[05:41] Rishe
    If I startled you, I'm sorry.
[05:45] Rishe
    But I, um...
[05:48] Rishe
    You do know, don't you?
[05:51] Rishe
    I can jump a distance like
    that with no problems.
[05:57] Arnold
    Yes. After all, you can jump down
    to the ground from a palace balcony.
[06:03] Rishe
    Then, why...
[06:08] Arnold
    Even though I know, I moved
    reflexively. I couldn't help it.
[06:35] Rishe
    Thank you.
[06:38] Arnold
    You do realize that you could have gone out
    into the hallway and come through the door?
[06:44] Rishe
    Through the door?
[06:46] Arnold
    Through the door.
[06:49] Rishe
    You're right!
[06:51] Arnold
    The way you cut across via the shortest
    route is just like that other time.
[06:56] Rishe
    Whatever could you mean?
[07:01] Rishe
    By the way, why do you have your sword?
[07:05] Arnold
    I mistook the light of the
    fireflies for torches.
[07:12] Rishe; internal
    Now that he mentions it,
[07:13] Rishe; internal
    their light does resemble the
    torches you see on a battlefield.
[07:20] Rishe; internal
    Memories of the war are vividly,
    deeply embedded within him.
[07:43] Rishe
    They truly are...
[07:45] Rishe
    such beautiful eyes.
[07:52] Arnold
    These eyes are the same color as my father's.
[07:55] Arnold
    They serve as proof that I carry the
    same blood as my father, the emperor.
[07:59] Arnold
    When I was a child, I very much
    wanted to gouge both of my eyes out.
[08:05] Rishe
    Your Highness...
[08:07] Arnold
    They aren't something you
    should gaze at in that manner.
[08:14] Rishe; internal
    There is a deep hostility between Prince
    Arnold and his father which seems boundless.
[08:22] Arnold
    The day you first came to this palace, you
    said you had an admiration for this country.
[08:28] Arnold
    I am unable to feel admiration
    in the same way that you do.
[08:34] Arnold
    The light of fireflies looks
    like the fires of war...
[08:36] Arnold
    and looking down from here,
[08:39] Arnold
    the view of the capital is infuriating to me.
[08:41] Arnold
    Perhaps it's because of these eyes
    I've inherited from my father,
[08:45] Arnold
    or perhaps it's because of my nature...
[08:47] Arnold
    Either way, it doesn't change the
    fact that it's repulsive to me.
[08:55] Rishe
    Lights seen from far away might look like
    wartime fires or like firefly lights.
[09:01] Rishe
    The values inherent to such a perception
    aren't inherited from one's parents,
[09:04] Rishe
    they are gained through all the
    things a person has experienced.
[09:10] Rishe
    In which case, you just need to learn.
[09:12] Rishe
    Learn about the beauty of this nation and
    the magnificent things that live in it.
[09:17] Rishe
    In the future yet to come, you
    can do that as much as you like.
[09:21] Arnold
    I have no need of such things.
[09:23] Arnold
    As long as there are things I can use
    to achieve my aims, that's enough.
[09:27] Rishe
    Your Highness...
[09:28] Arnold
    I've even killed people I
    held dear with my own hands.
[09:33] Arnold
    Even you. If you ever become an
    impediment, I'll discard you.
[09:37] Arnold
    On the matter of Coyolles, I don't
    know what you might be thinking,
[09:43] Arnold
    but don't make me have to get rid of you.
[09:50] Rishe
    I can't promise you that.
[09:52] Rishe
    Should I become your wife, I will
    still move to achieve my own aims.
[09:57] Rishe
    Even if that means you cast me aside.
[10:03] Rishe
    However...
[10:05] Rishe
    when that happens, I'll
    simply return here again.
[10:08] Arnold
    What?
[10:10] Rishe
    Even if you cast me aside and
    declare our engagement broken,
[10:14] Rishe
    I'll interview to become a maid
    and return to this palace.
[10:19] Rishe
    If that doesn't work, I'll dress
    as a man and become a knight.
[10:22] Rishe
    And if that doesn't work,
    I'll come as an herbalist.
[10:24] Rishe
    I'll acquire whatever skills seem like
    they'll let me slip back into the palace,
[10:28] Rishe
    and I'll come to see you again and again.
[10:31] Rishe
    So please, don't worry.
[10:33] Rishe
    I won't stand by and allow you
    to get rid of me, Your Highness.
[10:45] Rishe
    To me, these eyes are
    your eyes, Prince Arnold.
[10:50] Rishe
    Even if you, yourself, detest them,
[10:53] Rishe
    I want to tell you this
    over and over again...
[10:57] Rishe
    I think your eyes are the most
    beautiful in all the world.
[11:10] Arnold
    It's late. Go and rest.
[11:16] Rishe
    Good night.
[11:18] Arnold
    Yes.
[11:27] (Flashback) Arnold
    When I was a child, I very much
    wanted to gouge both of my eyes out.
[12:11] Kyle
    Please look these over.
[12:16] Rishe
    Coyolles' techniques truly are splendid!
[12:19] Kyle
    Thank you.
[12:20] Kyle
    And the finely powdered metals you
    requested are right here.
[12:25] Rishe
    To be honest, I'm surprised.
[12:27] Rishe
    Even the trading company I patronize
    has difficulty obtaining all of these.
[12:32] Kyle
    We've formed an alliance.
[12:35] Kyle
    Naturally, I should
    do everything in my power.
[12:37] Rishe
    Thank you.
[12:39] Rishe; internal
    You feel that way because
[12:41] Rishe; internal
    you've built honest relationships
    with so many traders, Prince Kyle.
[12:46] Kyle
    I've managed to obtain an appointment to
    speak with Prince Arnold one more time.
[12:51] Kyle
    But will this really be
    enough to convince him?
[12:56] Rishe
    I don't know.
[12:57] Rishe
    But I'm confident it will be
    enough to entice him to listen.
[13:01] Kyle
    How can you say that with such certainty?
[13:04] Rishe
    It is, of course,
[13:06] Rishe
    because I am Prince Arnold's future wife!
[14:01] Theodore's vassal 1
    Wh-What is this?
[14:03] Theodore's vassal 1
    What's going...
[14:14] Kyle
    Thank you for granting me your time today.
[14:17] Arnold
    I will say this in advance.
[14:19] Arnold
    I have no intention of having
    the same conversation again.
[14:23] Arnold
    I still feel that there is no value
    in an alliance with Coyolles.
[14:28] Kyle
    I understand your position.
[14:30] Arnold
    However...
[14:31] Arnold
    I assume you've brought a
    somewhat worthwhile proposal?
[14:35] Rishe
    Of course, Your Highness.
[14:38] Rishe; internal
    I can't allow myself to be daunted.
[14:39] Rishe; internal
    This is a negotiation. It's a battle.
[14:43] Arnold
    You sit, too. Let's begin.
[14:47] Rishe
    Before that, Your Highness...
[14:49] Rishe
    can you tell exactly how I differ
    from my usual self today?
[14:58] Arnold
    Earrings. Bracelet.
[15:00] Arnold
    Necklaces.
[15:02] Arnold
    None of them are familiar to me.
[15:03] Arnold
    You've never worn them
    with me before, have you?
[15:07] Rishe
    It's just as you say.
[15:09] Rishe
    All of these pieces are
    jewelry made in Coyolles.
[15:13] Kyle
    In addition to producing metals and gems,
[15:17] Kyle
    my kingdom is cut off by
    snow for over half the year.
[15:21] Kyle
    Given the aforementioned conditions,
[15:23] Kyle
    we have advanced the craft of jewelry
    making, which can be done indoors,
[15:27] Kyle
    and we have cultivated
    many brilliant artisans.
[15:30] Kyle
    Even those items, which other countries
    have difficulty producing,
[15:33] Kyle
    can be completed quickly
    and exquisitely by our artisans.
[15:37] Kyle
    We in Coyolles stand proudly before the
    entire world and say that this is our treasure.
[15:53] Michel
    I will make a declaration here...
[16:13] Rishe
    You recognize this item, don't you?
[16:16] Arnold
    Well, it does belong to me.
[16:18] Arnold
    What of it?
[16:20] Rishe
    This is—
[16:21] Arnold
    Wait.
[16:23] Rishe
    It can't be. I never imagined
    that you would notice.
[16:28] Rishe
    This isn't the piece that
    Your Highness lent to me.
[16:32] Rishe
    It is a reproduction of that watch.
[16:35] Rishe
    Prince Arnold, your watch is here.
[16:39] Rishe
    We borrowed jewelers' equipment
    and were able to cast all of the parts.
[16:45] Rishe
    The one who created this reproduction
    was a jeweler from Coyolles.
[16:50] Kyle
    Intricate metalworking was used
    to create the gears and screws.
[16:54] Kyle
    As my kingdom's artisan has accurately
    reproduced the piece,
[16:58] Kyle
    we are now able to repair it as well.
[17:00] Rishe
    Prince Arnold, you are already aware of the
    magnificence of this ware called a watch.
[17:05] Rishe
    These watches are rare in the world,
[17:08] Rishe
    but have you never wished you could
    possess them in large numbers?
[17:11] Rishe
    Or perhaps you've imagined turning the
    skills used to produce them to other uses?
[17:17] Rishe
    Research into technologies which might use
    gears and clockwork has already begun.
[17:22] Rishe
    Carriages that can move
    even without horses...
[17:25] Rishe
    Ships that can sail even without wind...
[17:27] Rishe
    In the not-so-distant future,
    people may dream of such things.
[17:31] Rishe
    However, when that time comes,
[17:33] Rishe
    the only country with the skills to make
    those dreams a reality will be Coyolles.
[17:38] Rishe
    And, Prince Arnold...
[17:41] Rishe
    I'm certain that you will want them.
[17:44] Rishe
    You will want to bring their
    technical prowess to Galkhein!
[17:51] Arnold
    Is that all?
[17:55] Arnold
    Kyle Morgan Cleverly.
[17:57] Arnold
    What are you trying to do here?
[18:01] Arnold
    I acknowledge that the skills your
    country possesses are exceptional.
[18:06] Arnold
    It is something which my nation lacks.
[18:11] Arnold
    Which is why, all the more, I
    find your naïvety revolting.
[18:17] Arnold
    There is no need to form an alliance
    to obtain another country's technology.
[18:21] Arnold
    Because everything can be taken
    through military force, you see?
[18:25] Arnold
    Did you come here without a single thought?
[18:28] Arnold
    Did you simply do as my future wife said...
[18:31] Arnold
    and come here as ornamental royalty?
[18:34] Arnold
    Rishe, you're no better.
[18:37] Arnold
    Say that I obtained this technology.
[18:40] Arnold
    Did you never imagine
    what I might use it for?
[18:45] Kyle
    Using metalworking technologies
    as a piece in negotiations...
[18:49] Kyle
    When this was suggested to me,
[18:52] Kyle
    I thought you might not be pleased by it.
[18:55] Kyle
    However, Lady Rishe believed.
[18:59] Kyle
    "The power to make the future
    a more wonderful place..."
[19:02] Kyle
    "It isn't possible that Prince
    Arnold won't want that," she said.
[19:07] Kyle
    I, too, came to this country because
    of my belief in you, Prince Arnold.
[19:12] Kyle
    You are an outstanding ruler.
[19:14] Kyle
    And during the war, you showed even
    enemy nations a form of respect.
[19:19] Kyle
    The reality is that you're kind enough to
    be here, like this, in discussions with me.
[19:22] Arnold
    That is a naïve way of thinking.
[19:26] Kyle
    My foolishness lies in thinking to
    rely on you, to have you protect us.
[19:32] Kyle
    But my decision, the thought that I
    wanted to form an alliance with you,
[19:36] Kyle
    I don't believe that that was a mistake!
[19:41] Kyle
    The intellectual power
    of Coyolles' scholars...
[19:43] Kyle
    and our metalworking technologies...
[19:46] Kyle
    If we continue to research these
    two things together with your country,
[19:49] Kyle
    then this future that Lady Rishe
    speaks of won't be simply a dream!
[19:55] Kyle
    If it will gain your trust,
[19:58] Kyle
    I will spare nothing.
[20:08] Oliver
    I'm terribly sorry to interrupt
    your conversation, Prince Arnold.
[20:12] Theodore
    I hope you are doing well, Prince Kyle.
[20:15] Theodore
    I offer my deepest apologies for my
    rudeness in disturbing your conversation.
[20:18] Theodore
    Brother, I am very sorry to interrupt.
[20:25] Rishe; internal
    An emergency?
[20:27] Rishe
    I'm terribly sorry. I will excuse
    myself here for a moment.
[20:31] Kyle
    L-Lady Rishe?
[20:32] Rishe
    I'm really very sorry.
[20:34] Rishe
    If you'll excuse me!
[20:39] Theodore
    Everyone I had shadowing the
    target was given the slip.
[20:43] Theodore
    We were last certain of his
    whereabouts three hours ago.
[20:46] Theodore
    He was in a back street in Section 17.
[20:48] Rishe
    What was the situation when
    they lost sight of him?
[20:50] Theodore
    Apparently, there was
    some sort of sweet smell.
[20:53] Theodore
    When they woke, the target's
    whereabouts were unknown.
[20:56] Theodore
    Which means that the surveillance
    of Michel Hévin has failed.
[21:04] Arnold
    Well, that seemed hurried.
[21:06] Arnold
    I offer my apologies as well for my future
    wife and younger brother's rudeness.
[21:10] Kyle
    Not at all. If we could continue—
[21:12] Arnold
    Oliver.
[21:23] Kyle
    Prince Arnold.
[21:24] Kyle
    What is all this?
[21:33] Rishe
    Prince Theodore.
[21:34] Theodore
    I know.
[21:35] Theodore
    Just as you thought, that man
    was carrying a large bag.
[21:40] Theodore
    I've already mobilized
    everyone in from the slums.
[21:43] Theodore
    They're looking into the contents.
[21:45] Rishe
    Thank you.
[21:47] Theodore
    But there is one thing that's bothering me.
[21:51] Rishe
    Prince Arnold.
[21:53] Theodore
    Yes.
[21:54] Theodore
    I may be the second prince,
[21:57] Theodore
    but that isn't enough to allow
    me to barge into a meeting of his.
[22:00] Rishe
    And he didn't seem at all surprised.
[22:05] Theodore
    Sister!
[22:08] Theodore
    We know where that man is.
[22:22] Rishe
    Professor!
[22:28] Michel
    Hey there, Rishe.

[00:06] (Flashback) Michel
    Whatever it is you want to see,
    I want to help you see it.
[00:09] (Flashback) Michel
    If there's something you
    don't know, I'll teach you.
[00:12] (Flashback) Michel
    Though, when you want to achieve something
    solely through your own efforts, I won't interfere.
[00:18] (Flashback) Michel
    What kind of scholar will you become?
[00:20] (Flashback) Michel
    I'm very much looking forward to finding out.
[00:24] (Flashback) Rishe
    Why do you take such good care of me?
[00:30] (Flashback) Michel
    Perhaps because this may be the only
    good thing I am able to do in my life.
[00:45] Rishe
    Professor!
[00:47] Michel
    Hey there, Rishe.
[00:53] Lawvine's knight 2
    Please stand back!
[00:55] Lawvine's knight 1
    This suspicious person has declared
[00:57] Lawvine's knight 1
    he will cause an act of violence
    in town at six this evening!
[00:59] Michel
    It's just as he says.
[01:02] Rishe
    And you think that by doing so, Prince
    Arnold will hear of the power of black powder?
[01:08] Michel
    That's right.
[01:09] Rishe
    Such an action will affect people
    unrelated to this matter!
[01:13] Michel
    Yes, I understand that.
[01:15] Rishe
    Professor!
[01:16] Michel
    Well, its unveiling demands as much.
[01:20] Michel
    As it's something I have created...
[01:23] Michel
    I must take responsibility for it.
[01:27] Michel
    Even if it means causing
    misfortune for someone else.
[01:34] Michel
    My own existence is just the same.
[01:38] Michel
    I'm sorry, Rishe.
[01:59] Michel
    The words of a person like me... shouldn't
    be taken at face value.
[02:05] Michel
    Taking you on as my student was
    no more than a whim of mine.
[02:14] Theodore
    Sister!
[02:22] Rishe; internal
    I once asked the professor...
[02:26] (Flashback) Rishe
    Is it truly impossible for a poison
    to bring someone happiness?
[02:33] Rishe; internal
    But instead of asking...
[02:37] Rishe
    Professor, I may only have been
    your student for a brief time,
[02:43] Rishe
    but I can say this with certainty...
[02:47] Rishe
    even a poison can bring happiness to someone.
[02:55] Rishe
    My alchemy teacher once told me,
[03:00] Rishe
    "If one fails to take all variables into
    account, the experiment will fail."
[03:06] Rishe
    No matter how great an
    alchemist you may be,
[03:10] Rishe
    your results will not always
    be as you anticipated.
[03:15] Rishe
    That is because...
[03:16] Rishe
    it was impossible for you to
    comprehend the variable that I am.
[03:21] Michel
    What are you saying?
[03:35] Michel
    What is that?
[03:38] Rishe
    Professor, the things you
    create aren't only poisons.
[03:42] Rishe
    Even if you can only think of them as
    things which bring misfortune to others,
[03:47] Rishe
    if their method of use is changed,
    many other types of value appear.
[04:10] Michel
    Colored flames?
[04:14] Michel
    The black powder exploded in the sky?
[04:17] Michel
    What is all this?
[04:20] Rishe
    I once looked for a simple way to
    differentiate between types of metals.
[04:26] Rishe
    At that time, someone showed me the
    beautiful aurora, and I remembered...
[04:32] Rishe
    When fire is applied to metal,
    it gives off a beautiful light.
[04:38] Michel
    That's true.
[04:39] Michel
    When metals are burned, the
    flames turn different colors.
[04:43] Rishe
    Yes.
[04:45] Rishe
    However, that wasn't all.
[04:48] Rishe
    With a new perspective,
[04:50] Rishe
    I obtained a method to
    change the colors of a flame.
[04:55] Rishe
    Tiny lights, floating in the darkness...
[04:57] Rishe
    they may look like the torches of
    war, or like the lights of fireflies.
[05:02] Rishe
    Each and every material and phenomenon
    holds more than one meaning.
[05:07] Rishe
    So does the black powder, and
    so do you, Professor Michel.
[05:10] Rishe
    There is nothing which exists solely
    to bring misfortune to others.
[05:16] Michel
    And you plotted all of this
    to make me understand that?
[05:21] Michel
    Why would you go so far?
[05:23] Rishe
    Because I am your student.
[05:29] (Flashback) Michel
    If you wish to repudiate
    someone else's research,
[05:31] (Flashback) Michel
    you must show results as counter-evidence.
[05:35] (Flashback) Michel
    If you're an alchemist, that is.
[05:38] Rishe; internal
    Without substantiation, the professor
    would never change his thinking.
[05:43] Rishe; internal
    That's why...
[05:45] Rishe
    I will devote all of myself
    to trying to persuade you.
[05:49] Rishe
    Observe with your own eyes.
[05:52] Rishe
    Something which you have created...
[05:54] Rishe
    is exhibiting a value
    which you did not know of.
[05:56] Rishe
    Just look at it!
[06:03] Michel
    I understand flame reactions and the
    effect of black powder, and yet...
[06:09] Michel
    I never imagined a use like this existed.
[06:44] Michel
    You're amazing, Rishe.
[06:47] Rishe
    No, you're the amazing one, Professor.
[06:50] Rishe
    I'm sure that there are other things
    which you thought could only be poisons
[06:55] Rishe
    which have other splendid uses.
[06:58] Rishe
    After all, you're the most
    brilliant alchemist in all the world!
[07:10] Michel
    I see.
[07:12] Michel
    So, I was able to create the source
    of something that beautiful.
[07:26] Rishe; internal
    It seems they all launched safely.
[07:35] Rishe
    Thank you.
[07:37] Theodore
    It was really a lot of work.
[07:40] (Flashback) Rishe
    Could you give this to everyone for me?
[07:43] (Flashback) Theodore
    This? What is it?
[07:46] Rishe; internal
    The amount of black powder
    and where it was set...
[07:48] Rishe; internal
    Because I saw his experiment
    planner in my third life,
[07:52] Rishe; internal
    I could narrow down the possibilities,
    even in this large capital city.
[07:56] Rishe; internal
    After that, I took the
    professor's area of activity,
[07:58] Rishe; internal
    and looked for spots that
    matched the right conditions.
[08:02] Rishe; internal
    The rest was all thanks to everyone involved
    in this matter doing their jobs perfectly.
[08:10] Rishe
    Your Highness's retainers really
    are exceptional, aren't they?
[08:18] Rishe; internal
    Lord Lawvine?
[08:20] Lawvine's knight 2
    As you ordered.
[08:22] Lawvine
    Good work.
[08:24] Lawvine
    Michel Hévin.
[08:25] Lawvine
    This incident. You will
    have to explain yourself.
[08:28] Theodore
    Wait, Lawvine!
[08:30] Theodore
    I will take charge of that person.
[08:32] Lawvine
    I cannot allow that.
[08:33] Theodore
    What?
[08:34] Lawvine
    This individual declared that he
    would cause an incident here,
[08:38] Lawvine
    on land governed by His Majesty, the emperor.
[08:40] Lawvine
    Even though the order comes from
    you, Prince Theodore,
[08:43] Lawvine
    I cannot hand him over to you.
[08:54] Arnold
    What is this commotion, Lawvine?
[08:58] Lawvine
    Prince Arnold.
[09:01] Lawvine
    I received a report of an individual
    making nefarious declarations.
[09:04] Lawvine
    Believing him to be connected to the
    large flames seen in the air just now,
[09:08] Lawvine
    I've captured him and
    intend to interrogate him.
[09:12] Arnold
    I see.
[09:13] Rishe
    Prince Arnold, earlier, those—
[09:15] Arnold
    Rishe.
[09:16] Arnold
    That is unnecessary.
[09:21] Arnold
    That phenomenon just now...
[09:23] Arnold
    it was no more than a scholar of Coyolles
    demonstrating a new technology.
[09:30] Lawvine
    Why would a Coyolles scholar unveil a
    new technology here, in our country?
[09:39] Arnold
    Our empire will be forming a technological
    partnership with Coyolles.
[09:59] Arnold
    In exchange for providing military
    instruction to Coyolles,
[10:02] Arnold
    we will be borrowing their precision
    machining techniques and academic knowledge.
[10:06] Arnold
    Those flowers of flame we saw earlier...
[10:08] Arnold
    served as proof that Coyolles possesses
    technologies unknown to our empire.
[10:14] Arnold
    Do you understand?
[10:18] Arnold
    Go.
[10:20] Lawvine
    Sir.
[10:22] Rishe
    Lord Lawvine.
[10:24] Rishe
    I apologize for hiding my
    identity all this time.
[10:34] Kyle
    Michel!
[10:35] Kyle
    I'm happy for your help forming this
    alliance, but that took me completely by surprise!
[10:39] Michel
    Kyle.
[10:40] Kyle
    If you wanted to unveil the
    results of your research,
[10:43] Kyle
    there must have been methods which would
    have caused less trouble for others.
[10:47] Michel
    You have it wrong.
[10:48] Michel
    The truth is that lives would have—
[10:50] Rishe
    Professor Michel.
[10:52] Rishe
    Right now, please just stay quiet
    and let him be angry with you.
[11:00] Michel
    I'm sorry, Kyle.
[11:02] Michel
    I'm sorry, Rishe.
[11:04] Kyle
    Michel?
[11:06] Michel
    I won't do it any more.
[11:08] Michel
    My theory was hugely flawed.
[11:11] Michel
    I understand that now.
[11:15] Michel
    I promise you that I will never do it again.
[11:21] Oliver
    Then, I shall make the proper arrangements.
[11:30] Arnold
    I will say this: I am not acting
    out of kindness towards them.
[11:34] Arnold
    It's abundantly clear that he
    was plotting something unsavory.
[11:38] Arnold
    However, if he were publicly
    treated as a criminal,
[11:41] Arnold
    my father, the emperor, would hear of it.
[11:43] Arnold
    That's why I made use of your plan.
[11:45] Rishe
    Yes. Thank you.
[11:48] Rishe
    After I explain the details
    regarding the professor,
[11:52] Rishe
    I look forward to your
    judgment on the matter.
[11:55] Arnold
    How commendable of you.
[11:56] Arnold
    If I choose to kill and
    dispose of him in secret,
[11:59] Arnold
    I will hear no complaints from you.
[12:06] Rishe
    Prince Arnold.
[12:10] Arnold
    What is it?
[12:12] Rishe
    The truth is, the person who invented
    the pocket watch was Professor Michel.
[12:20] Rishe
    If we will be conducting joint
    research with Coyolles,
[12:23] Rishe
    won't Professor Michel's knowledge be needed?
[12:29] Rishe
    What will you do?
[12:31] Arnold
    You...
[12:35] Arnold
    No matter how I look at
    this, you were confident
[12:37] Arnold
    you could convince me
    from the very beginning.
[12:39] Rishe
    How could I be?
[12:41] Rishe
    The only thing I was confident of was that
[12:44] Rishe
    Your Highness would be
    interested in the professor.
[12:49] Rishe
    The people in town will
    have seen those fireworks.
[12:53] Rishe
    When people learn that
    they were from Coyolles,
[12:56] Rishe
    I think they will support the alliance, too.
[12:59] Arnold
    They probably will.
[13:01] Rishe
    Yes.
[13:03] Arnold
    So, those are called fireworks?
[13:06] Rishe
    Yes, that's what I've named them.
[13:10] Rishe
    I wanted you to see those
    fireworks, Your Highness.
[13:17] Rishe
    The black powder used in fireworks
    is a dangerous substance.
[13:22] Rishe
    However, depending upon how it's used,
[13:24] Rishe
    it can also create a beautiful sight the
    likes of which no one has seen before.
[13:29] Rishe
    If you learned that, then you would
    carve a path to many more possibilities.
[13:35] Rishe
    That's my thinking on it.
[13:39] Rishe; internal
    Right now, he may still believe that
    all of his abilities are meant for war,
[13:47] Rishe; internal
    but one day, I'm certain...
[13:55] Rishe
    This medicine will help with
     seasickness on your journey home.
[14:00] Rishe
    The flavor is as awful as ever, though.
[14:03] Kyle
    Compared to the suffering of
    seasickness, it's nothing.
[14:08] Kyle
    Lady Rishe.
[14:10] Kyle
    Truly, thank you so very much.
[14:12] Kyle
    It's only because you lent us your strength
[14:15] Kyle
    that Prince Arnold formed an
    alliance with our kingdom.
[14:18] Rishe
    No, it was Coyolles' sound technological
    prowess and support of academic research.
[14:24] Rishe
    This is all the result of you doing
    everything in your power, Prince Kyle.
[14:33] Michel
    I think that your husband
    is far too magnanimous.
[14:37] Rishe
    Not at all, Professor.
[14:38] Rishe
    He's telling you that in this joint venture,
[14:41] Rishe
    you should continue producing
    the very best of results.
[14:44] Rishe
    It's a severe punishment which the average
    person wouldn't be able to shoulder.
[14:48] Michel
    Yes, I suppose it is.
[14:53] Michel
    "Create things which will make
    the world more wonderful."
[14:56] Michel
    I've never done any research
    in that area before...
[15:01] Michel
    but I'll do my best.
[15:08] Michel
    I wanted to apologize to you.
[15:11] Michel
    I was mistaken when I said that you
    weren't suited to being an empress.
[15:16] Michel
    You're more than suited to it.
[15:19] Michel
    But it's true that I see it as a shame.
[15:24] Michel
    You won't regret it?
[15:26] Michel
    A life as the bride of Arnold Hein.
[15:30] Rishe
    Right now, what I most want to know about
    is the man who will become my husband.
[15:35] Rishe
    I want to know him more than I want
    to know any research result or theory.
[15:41] Michel
    And so we part for a time.
[15:44] Michel
    Let's meet again, my student.
[15:50] Rishe
    Yes!
[15:57] Rishe
    Professor Michel was taken aback.
[16:00] Rishe
    He said Prince Arnold is "too magnanimous."
[16:05] Arnold
    Rather than making a fuss over
    something which ended in failure,
[16:08] Arnold
    making good use of him makes
    more sense. That's all.
[16:12] Rishe
    Thank you.
[16:22] Rishe
    I have one more thing to report.
[16:30] Arnold
    It's finished?
[16:32] Rishe
    Yes.
[16:33] Rishe
    I wanted to see the finished
    piece with you, Your Highness,
[16:36] Rishe
    so I haven't opened it yet.
[16:38] Rishe
    I'm sure it's lovely.
[16:39] Arnold
    Rishe.
[16:42] Arnold
    Showing me that you're wearing
    that ring is unnecessary.
[16:50] Rishe
    By unnecessary, you mean...
[16:52] Arnold
    I told you.
[16:54] Arnold
    The only thing that I requested of you
    was to allow me to gift you a ring.
[17:02] Arnold
    I have no right to wish
    for any more than that.
[17:09] Arnold
    You may have allowed me to gift you with it,
[17:11] Arnold
    but you needn't wear something
    which doesn't meet your standards.
[17:15] Arnold
    You should wear only that which you like,
[17:18] Arnold
    with no regard for the gazes of others.
[17:20] Arnold
    Choose freely.
[17:27] Rishe
    No.
[17:29] Arnold
    What?
[17:30] Rishe
    When they were measuring my size,
[17:32] Rishe
    I chose the third finger
    on my left hand, didn't I?
[17:35] Arnold
    Yes.
[17:36] Rishe
    In my country, when people are married, the
    husband places a ring on the wife's third finger.
[17:46] Rishe
    I long to experience that sort of ritual.
[17:53] Rishe
    I want to wear this ring
    for the marriage ceremony,
[17:56] Rishe
    and I will chose my dress to match it!
[17:58] Rishe
    You say that it's unnecessary,
[18:00] Rishe
    but I'm going to wear this ring everywhere!
[18:03] Arnold
    Rishe.
[18:03] Rishe
    If anything, I've been restraining
    myself from putting it on immediately!
[18:09] Rishe
    So, Prince Arnold, please
    put it on my finger for me.
[18:13] Arnold
    I'm not wearing gloves right now.
[18:18] Rishe
    It's all right, even without them.
[18:26] Rishe
    I just really want it to happen right now.
[18:29] Rishe
    So...
[18:32] Rishe
    Please, Your Highness.
[19:12] Arnold
    Rishe.
[19:18] Arnold
    May I touch you?
[19:26] Rishe
    Yes.
[19:33] Arnold
    Hey, don't hold your breath.
[19:35] Rishe
    I'm not holding my breath!
[19:38] Rishe
    I've simply forgotten how
    to breathe, that's all.
[19:42] Rishe; internal
    He laughed!
[20:04] Arnold
    Have you remembered how to breathe?
[20:06] Rishe
    Yes, somehow.
[20:18] Arnold
    Rishe.
[20:23] Arnold
    It's done.
[20:35] Rishe
    It really is exactly the same
    color as Your Highness's eyes.
[20:40] Rishe
    Just wearing this ring makes me feel
    like I can accomplish anything.
[20:48] Rishe
    What do you think?
[20:51] Arnold
    Yes.
[20:59] Arnold
    It puts me in an even better
    mood than I'd imagined.
[21:07] Rishe
    Your Highness...
[21:08] Arnold
    What is it?
[21:10] Rishe
    The number of things I want
    to ask of you has increased.
[21:13] Arnold
    Tell me. Right now, I'd grant you anything.
[21:19] Rishe
    I want to go on a journey
    with you, Your Highness.
[21:22] Arnold
    A journey?
[21:23] Rishe
    Yes. A journey to see all of the
    beautiful things in this world.
[21:28] Rishe
    Not just fireflies and fireworks...
[21:30] Rishe
    I want to go and find many more things
    that you think are lovely and beautiful.
[21:38] Arnold
    Thanks to you, I've found
    one more of those things.
[21:41] Rishe
    What?
[21:42] Rishe
    What could it be?
[21:45] Arnold
    What indeed?
[21:46] Arnold
    If you don't know, then I won't tell you.
[21:50] Rishe
    Th-That isn't fair!
[21:52] Rishe
    Do you really think an average person
    can measure up to one of your riddles?
[21:55] Arnold
    An average person would not explode
[21:57] Arnold
    a mysterious compound in the sky
    over their betrothed's home.
[22:09] Arnold
    Though, I don't think this riddle
    is so very difficult to solve.
[22:22] Rishe; internal
    Right now, they may only be
    the slightest of changes...
[22:25] Rishe; internal
    but as one piles on another, little by
    little the future should change, too.
[22:31] Rishe; internal
    I hope to see a beautiful future
    together with Prince Arnold.
[22:38] Rishe; internal
    In this life, that is the great
    objective I have found for myself.
