[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.

[21:20] Rishe
    You and Prince Theodore
    had a talk, didn't you?
[21:24] Arnold

[22:10] Rishe
    He will be my little brother, too, after all.
[22:17] Arnold
    I see.
