***SIGN*** 33 Years Ago
**[00:09] Schn**
The royal family should get out more.
**[00:13] Schn**
We must see how things outside the
castle are, with our own eyes.
**[00:17] Schn**
Hearing the Privy Council's
district summary reports
***SIGN*** Second Princess of Dōwā Kingdom Schnee
**[00:22] Schn**
is the same as relying on rumors.
**[00:26] Q**
Ever since she returned from her
Kororē study abroad program,
**[00:30] Q**
Her Highness has taken a great
interest in national affairs.
**[00:35] King**
She always was interested in many things.
**[00:39] King**
She wants to go to the capital, Bādon, next.
**[00:42] Q**
She has contacts among the city's
revolutionary youths, as well.
**[00:47] Q**
She's reading books on philosophy
and political science.
**[00:51] Q**
Your Majesty, if you don't end this soon,
**[00:54] Q**
her actions will cast a shadow
on the Dōwā family.
**[00:57] Q**
And over the nation, given time.
**[01:00] King**
It would be a great pity
**[01:03] King**
to clip her wings.
**[01:17] Q**
There is another way.
**[02:58] Abend**
You summoned me, Privy Council
President Qualm?
**[03:02] Q**
You are Princess Schnee's aide.
**[03:06] Q**
Abend, this is an order, but you
can refuse to obey it.
**[03:12] Abend**
An order that I can refuse to obey.
**[03:17] Abend**
So I can refuse, if I agree to relinquish
my role as Her Highness's aide?
**[03:21] Q**
I will have you sign this sworn statement.
**[03:24] Q**
If you break this oath, know that
your life is forfeit.
**[03:28] Abend**
It must be a grave mission.
**[03:30] Abend**
I will hear it now.
**[03:33] Q**
Princess Schnee, the second princess,
**[03:35] Q**
is to be removed from the
Dōwā family registry.
**[03:38] Q**
She will become a commoner.
**[03:41] Abend**
Removed from the registry...
**[03:42] Abend**
Such a thing is possible?
**[03:45] Q**
Publicly, this nation's law
would not permit it,
**[03:49] Q**
but we can make it happen...
**[03:51] Q**
His Majesty, the princess, you,
and I. The four of us.
**[03:56] Q**
After the 7th, Her Highness will go on
a scheduled tour of Peshi District,
**[04:00] Q**
where she will traverse its
various islands by boat.
**[04:04] Q**
She will desire to board a small craft.
**[04:08] Q**
Only you will accompany her aboard.
**[04:12] Q**
That boat will sink.
**[04:15] Q**
You will take Her Highness to Bādon.
**[04:19] Abend**
Is this for the good of Her Highness?
**[04:20] Q**
It is for the good of the nation.
**[04:22] Q**
The princess's presence will
cast a shadow on the land.
**[04:26] Q**
However, what motivates your
decision is of no matter.
**[04:29] Q**
You are Princess Schnee's aide, after all.
**[04:32] Abend**
I accept the order.
**[04:35] Q**
Thank you.
**[04:37] Q**
There is one more thing I wish to ask of you.
**[04:44] Abend**
I understand.
**[04:46] Abend**
Will you allow me
**[04:48] Abend**
to take a family servant with us?
**[04:53] Abend**
As I swore fealty to the Dōwā family,
**[04:56] Abend**
this man has pledged fealty to mine.
**[04:59] Q**
Does he have any family?
**[05:01] Abend**
A young son.
**[05:03] Q**
Will he be able to leave him?
**[05:06] Abend**
I will compel him.
**[05:10] Abend**
We will be of use to His Majesty. I swear it.
**[05:19] NDad**
I will come with you.
**[05:21] Abend**
I thought you would say that,
**[05:22] Abend**
so I already have the privy council
president's permission.
**[05:26] Abend**
We can never return to Dōwā.
**[05:28] Abend**
You must lose everything.
**[05:33] NDad**
I will.
**[05:34] NDad**
You are losing your rank, your family,
**[05:37] NDad**
and everything, in order to serve
your master, the king.
**[05:42] NDad**
By accompanying and serving you,
I simply do the same.
**[05:47] Abend**
You should prepare.
**[05:50] NDad**
First, may I go to Honig Avenue
one last time?
**[05:56] NDad**
I'd like to let my son have some cake...
**[06:00] NDad**
The apple cake he loves
so much, one last time.
**[06:04] Abend**
Are you sure you can leave him behind?
**[06:07] NDad**
We have distant relatives,
**[06:09] NDad**
so he will want for nothing.
**[06:11] NDad**
He will suffer the misfortune
of not having any parents,
**[06:13] NDad**
but that cannot be avoided.
**[06:17] Abend**
Go.
**[06:19] NDad**
Thank you!
**[06:27] NDad**
You heard all that...
**[06:29] N**
You'll leave me, once I eat the cake?
**[06:35] NDad**
Hey!
**[06:38] N**
I'll go, too!
**[06:41] N**
For His Majesty.
**[06:44] Abend**
Go eat some apple cake, both of you.
**[06:48] Abend**
Before we leave.
**[06:55] Sch**
I was already thinking I wouldn't
mind leaving the family,
**[06:58] Sch**
if staying would prevent me from
seeing the outside world again.
**[07:02] Sch**
Thank you, Father.
**[07:04] Sch**
Thank you for letting me take
flight into the world.
**[07:08] King**
The outside world is not easy.
**[07:10] Sch**
That is why I'm leaving.
**[07:14] Sch**
Breaking this nation apart is not my wish.
**[07:17] Sch**
I shall learn, by my own experience,
what is necessary for this nation
**[07:22] Sch**
to remain at peace in the future.
**[07:24] Sch**
Not as a member of the Dōwā
family, but as a citizen.
**[07:28] Sch**
My hope is that I shall, one day,
be of help to you, Father...
**[07:36] Sch**
Qualm has never advised anything
that would harm you.
**[07:41] Sch**
This must be what is best for you.
**[07:46] Sch**
I only wish I did not have to involve Abend...
**[07:51] King**
Everyone has made their own choices
**[07:55] King**
from the available options, Schnee.
**[08:01] King**
You may feel uncertain,
**[08:03] King**
but you must not feel regret.
***SIGN*** Peshi District
**[08:10] Citizens**
Princess Schnee's boat has sunk!
**[08:13] Citizens**
There's no sign of the boat.
**[08:15] Citizens**
We urged her to take a ship...
**[08:18] Citizens**
Now, she rests at the bottom of the sea.
**[08:29] Abend**
Your Highness?
**[08:30] Sch**
It's a wig.
**[08:33] Sch**
You should wear a hat.
**[08:36] Sch**
Your hair stands out, even more than mine.
**[08:42] Sch**
Abend...
**[08:47] Sch**
Now, let's go to Bādon.
**[09:03] Sch**
Give me my luggage.
**[09:07] Sch**
Abend, take off your hat.
**[09:14] Sch**
Don't think about doing
things for me anymore.
**[09:17] Sch**
Live your own life.
**[09:20] Sch**
I will never see this white
hair of yours again...
**[09:25] Sch**
You'll go that way, and I'll go this way!
**[09:27] Sch**
We won't watch each other go or look back.
**[09:31] Sch**
Thank you, Abend.
**[09:34] Sch**
And farewell.
**[09:48] Abend**
*For the princess.*
**[09:57] NDad**
Princess Schnee is captivated
by sandwich bread.
**[10:00] NDad**
I like sandwich bread, too.
**[10:02] NDad**
But I'm more distracted by the
chocolate sweets available in Bādon.
**[10:06] NDad**
Today, I ran into a strange one...
Chocolate-coated rice crackers.
**[10:11] NDad**
That's for you to try.
**[10:12] NDad**
Try them, Ninno.
**[10:14] N**
It's Nino.
**[10:15] NDad**
Sorry, sorry.
**[10:17] NDad**
Names are hard...
**[10:19] NDad**
But we did abandon ours from Dōwā.
**[10:22] NDad**
Informing His Majesty about the
princess is a most honorable duty!
**[10:31] NDad**
The princess met a young man
at a sandwich bread store,
**[10:34] NDad**
and they fell in love.
**[10:35] NDad**
But he's poor.
**[10:41] NDad**
The master will take action.
**[10:43] NDad**
The young man now has a job!
**[10:46] NDad**
The master will use his private funds
**[10:47] NDad**
to build an apartment complex
in the middle of the city.
**[10:50] NDad**
He's been trusted with being
the building manager.
**[10:53] NDad**
The young man is over the moon
about this stroke of good fortune!
**[11:01] NDad**
The princess may have her suspicions.
**[11:08] NDad**
I wonder if it'll be a prince or a princess.
**[11:15] NDad**
Off, I go!
**[11:16] NDad**
Thanks for the sandwich.
**[11:18] NDad**
I'll be late, so go to bed without waiting up!
**[11:24] NDad**
Yes, master.
**[11:26] NDad**
I'll prepare the photographs right away
**[11:27] NDad**
and send them with the report.
**[11:45] N**
A chocolate shop that sells by
weight. They say it's good.
**[11:49] NDad**
It's all the way in the northern sector.
**[11:51] NDad**
Why go all the way there?
**[11:53] N**
I just happened to run into it.
**[11:59] N**
Did you send everything to the master?
**[12:01] NDad**
On the afternoon flight.
**[12:04] NDad**
The photos are with the report.
**[12:06] NDad**
I'm just bad at writing reports.
**[12:09] N**
Because you try too hard to
write them like a story.
**[12:12] NDad**
Don't you think that makes His
Majesty happier to read them?
**[12:17] NDad**
And when His Majesty is happy,
**[12:19] NDad**
so is the privy council president!
**[12:22] NDad**
That makes our master happy,
**[12:25] NDad**
and therefore, makes us happy.
**[12:28] NDad**
This is great chocolate!
**[12:30] N**
Is it?
**[12:32] NDad**
I'm glad you're with me...
**[12:35] NDad**
I'm really glad the master
allowed you to come.
**[12:41] NDad**
I'm still in awe that you never blamed me
**[12:43] NDad**
for trying to leave you behind,
**[12:45] NDad**
but accompanied me.
**[12:47] N**
You had no choice.
**[12:49] N**
Serving the master was your duty.
**[12:53] N**
That means it's my duty, as well.
**[12:56] NDad**
I see...
**[12:58] N**
Why are you crying? You're overreacting!
**[13:00] NDad**
Yeah,
**[13:01] NDad**
I just don't know where I'd be
if you hadn't been around...
**[13:05] NDad**
The master's all alone.
**[13:08] N**
That's the path he chose, Dad.
**[13:24] NDad**
Nino, how was the prince today?
**[13:27] N**
He was playing in the park.
**[13:29] N**
And Princess Schnee?
**[13:30] N**
Did she have bread-making class today?
**[13:33] NDad**
It's already been a month
since she started the class.
**[13:36] NDad**
Today, she brought a whole
pile of bread home,
**[13:39] NDad**
with a big smile on her face.
**[13:41] NDad**
I'm sure the prince will be happy, too.
**[13:44] NDad**
I wonder what kind of bread.
**[13:46] N**
Dad, I've been thinking...
**[13:49] N**
Maybe we should stop
calling him the "prince."
**[13:52] NDad**
That'd mean we should stop
calling her the "princess."
**[13:56] NDad**
Maybe we call her the "princess"
because she's beautiful like one,
**[13:59] NDad**
and we call him the "prince"
because he's noble like one!
**[14:02] NDad**
Well?
**[14:04] N**
Do what you want.
**[14:06] NDad**
The princess has given birth
to another princess!
**[14:12] N**
Just call them "Lady Schnee"
and the "little miss."
**[14:15] NDad**
Okay.
**[14:17] NDad**
The prince is still the "prince," Nino.
**[14:21] NDad**
It's been several decades since a prince
was born to the Dōwā family.
**[14:26] N**
A few years ago, the youngest
princess gave birth to a son.
**[14:30] N**
He will be the heir.
**[14:33] NDad**
Our prince is ten years older than he is.
**[14:37] NDad**
But I guess they're no longer
part of the Dōwā family!
**[14:40] N**
Yeah.
**[14:43] NDad**
Nino!
**[14:45] NDad**
Our prince will finally become
a high school student!
**[14:49] N**
Right.
**[14:50] NDad**
I'm giving you an official mission.
**[14:55] NDad**
Attend the same high school.
**[14:57] N**
Huh?
**[14:58] NDad**
Stay near him and protect him.
**[15:00] NDad**
You'll join the photography club.
**[15:02] NDad**
Take tons of photos from nearby!
**[15:04] NDad**
I'm sure His Majesty will be pleased.
**[15:06] N**
But...
**[15:07] NDad**
Just as His Majesty longs for my photos,
**[15:10] NDad**
he'll long for yours.
**[15:12] NDad**
Become friends with the prince,
**[15:15] NDad**
so that you're invited home and can
eat Lady Schnee's homemade bread.
**[15:18] NDad**
I'll have you write a report about its taste.
**[15:21] N**
But this year, I turned 25.
**[15:23] NDad**
Glasses!
**[15:25] NDad**
If you hide how your eyes look,
you can disguise your age!
**[15:28] NDad**
This is from the master to you.
**[15:36] NDad**
A camera.
**[15:38] NDad**
The glasses are from me.
**[15:52] [SONG] ---**
I'm sure it'll go well
In the chill morning light
**[16:00] N**
I'm Nino.
**[16:01] N**
Nice to meet you, Jean.
**[16:02] [SONG] ---**
A red bird sings
It says the time is now
**[16:11] [SONG] ---**
Feel uncertainty, just not regret
**[16:21] [SONG] ---**
Everything will be all right
Even lonely nights
**[16:30] [SONG] ---**
Are preludes to an eventual dawn
**[16:38] [SONG] ---**
Ah everything I see I hold dear
**[16:46] [SONG] ---**
It's my life
**[16:51] NDad**
The prince loves bread, too!
**[16:54] [SONG] ---**
You sent me forth like it was nothing
**[16:55] NDad**
I wonder about the little miss.
**[16:57] NDad**
Does she like bread, as well?
**[17:03] [SONG] ---**
to the door opening to a new tomorrow
**[17:12] [SONG] ---**
Holding that thought close to my heart
**[17:20] [SONG] ---**
I will take an important step forward
**[17:37] N**
I'm home.
**[17:39] NDad**
Welcome back.
**[17:40] NDad**
How were the prince and
the Otus household?
**[17:46] NDad**
Hmm?
**[17:47] NDad**
I smell something good.
**[17:49] N**
Yeah.
**[17:57] NDad**
If we send it priority express,
it should be okay.
**[18:01] NDad**
It isn't like it's summer now.
**[18:02] N**
Probably.
**[18:04] NDad**
Maybe I'll get scolded for overdoing it.
**[18:07] N**
If you don't meet face-to-face,
there's nothing to worry about.
**[18:10] NDad**
You're right.
**[18:11] NDad**
Let's have the report on the bread's flavor.
**[18:16] NDad**
Did Lady Schnee recommend
how it should be eaten?
**[18:19] N**
She said with lots of butter.
**[18:21] NDad**
"With lots of butter." Got it...
**[18:29] News**
* The tragic accident occurred*
* at 8:18 local time,*
**[18:33] News**
*at the Peshi-Rokkusu border.*
**[18:36] News**
* The central council has convened*
* an emergency session*
**[18:38] News**
*and made the following statement.*
**[18:43] N**
Hello.
**[18:43] Abend**
Did you see the news?
**[18:45] N**
I'm watching it right now.
**[18:46] N**
Any news of Lady Schnee and her husband?
**[18:49] Abend**
Their train fell into the ravine.
**[18:52] Abend**
Your father was probably
also in the accident.
**[18:56] Abend**
Knowing him,
**[18:57] Abend**
he'd have arranged it so that
anything connecting him
**[19:00] Abend**
to the Dōwā family would be out of reach.
**[19:03] Abend**
Go to Rokkusu immediately.
**[19:06] Abend**
Retrieve what your father
left there, and then return.
**[19:12] Abend**
It was for a day like today
**[19:14] Abend**
that you allowed my father to
take me with him, wasn't it?
**[19:19] Abend**
You knew I was standing outside the door.
**[19:25] Abend**
I didn't choose to help you for His Majesty.
**[19:31] Abend**
It was for your father, wasn't it?
**[19:33] N**
Yes.
**[19:34] N**
In other words, it was for my own sake.
**[19:38] N**
The same goes for you.
**[19:40] N**
You didn't choose this for His Majesty
or for the privy council president.
**[19:44] N**
You chose this for Princess Schnee.
**[19:47] N**
Because her happiness is yours.
**[20:18] N**
What I must make sure you understand
**[20:21] N**
is that Lady Schnee was removed
from the Dōwā family register.
**[20:24] N**
You have no claim to the throne.
**[20:28] J**
I don't care about that.
**[20:31] J**
When I lost my parents,
**[20:33] J**
you cheered me up, remember?
**[20:39] N**
You also have a little sister, right?
**[20:41] N**
Just call me if you need anything.
**[20:44] N**
I'm a better cook than you.
**[20:52] N**
We chose to watch over you and Lotta,
**[20:55] N**
my supervisor and I.
**[20:58] N**
I'm sure you dislike being watched.
**[21:01] N**
But as long as His Majesty lives,
you'll have to put up with it.
**[21:06] N**
I won't mess up again and
get noticed, though.
**[21:20] L**
Welcome back!
**[21:22] L**
You bought this much?
**[21:24] L**
That makes me happy.
**[21:27] L**
But can I give some away?
**[21:30] L**
To Nino.
**[21:32] J**
Oh...
**[21:34] J**
He might not come around for a while.
**[21:38] L**
He's busy?
**[21:40] J**
Well...
**[21:43] J**
I guess you could say that.
**[21:45] L**
Okay.
**[21:47] L**
Oh, that reminds me...
**[21:48] L**
When the chief and I went to the café
to thank the owner for the cake,
**[21:52] L**
he gave me another one.
**[21:56] J**
You're starting to look like Mom.
**[21:59] J**
Maybe you always did, since you were little.
**[22:02] L**
I am?
**[22:09] L**
We don't have a photo of
her as a girl, I guess.
**[22:14] L**
Hey, you'll also eat some, won't you?
**[22:22] L**
It's apple cake.
***SIGN*** A Graceful Black Adder Bears Its Fangs
**[23:55] N**
Next time on *ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept.,*
**[23:58] N**
A Graceful Black Adder Bears Its Fangs.
**[24:01] N**
The worries never cease,
**[24:02] N**
but I'm sure those two will be okay.
**[24:06] N**
Our prince has grown into a fine man, Dad.
