[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!
