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?

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.
