[00:06] Charlotte
    Let's see, what should I wear for the party?
[00:11] Alice
    Er... I'm afraid the others
    have already set out.

    Episode 10 Couran Salamakhia
[01:49] Rosell
    Are you sure it was okay
    to leave Charlotte behind?
[01:52] Rietz
    We couldn't exactly leave the house unguarded.
[01:54] Rosell
    Well, I suppose...
[01:57] Rietz
    I'll be sure to bring her back a gift.
[02:01] Rietz
    Lord Ars, are you all right?
[02:04] Ars
    Y-Yes!
[02:06] Ars
    I wasn't expecting an invitation
    from Lord Couran...
[02:10] Ars
    He could be the next governor
    of Missian Province.
[02:13] Ars
    What does he want with a
    common rural lord like me?!
[02:17] Ars
    M-May I ask the occasion of today's party?
[02:22] Rietz
    Lord Couran has apparently
    invited powerful nobles
[02:26] Rietz
    and lords from all around
    Lord Couran's city, Semplar.
[02:30] Rosell
    He probably wants to meet everyone
    before the war to raise morale.
[02:35] Ars
    In other words,
    it'll be a mess of elite city folk.
[02:39] Ars
    I've gotta be careful not to screw up!
[02:42] Rosell
    Hey, you can see Semplar from here!
[02:47] sign
    Trading City of Semplar
[02:47] Ars
    It's so big!
[02:52] Rietz
    And Castle Semplar sits atop that hill.
[02:56] Rosell
    The city truly looks the part
     of Missian's trade capital.
[03:01] Ars
    It's spectacular.
[03:04] Ars
    We'll have to work hard to
    get Lamberg to this level.
[03:10] Rietz
    Tonight's party is a rare opportunity
    to get your name out there.
[03:14] Rietz
    I hope we can take advantage of that.
[03:17] Ars
    Yes!

[03:33] Lords
    Who is that child?
[03:35] Lords
    Haven't seen him before.
[03:39] Ars
    They're all staring!
    It's because I'm such a bumpkin!
[03:43] Lord A
    Lord Lumeire!
[03:44] Lord A
    It's been too long.
[03:46] Lord A
    Have you been doing well?
[03:48] Lumeire
    I have. You also seem well.
[03:51] Lord B
    Lumeire, I've heard tales of your fine deeds!
[03:55] Lord C
    Ah, Lumeire!
[03:58] Ars
    Lord Lumeire is just as
    influential as I thought.
[04:02] Lumeire
    Ars.
[04:03] Lumeire
    Come here.
[04:06] Lumeire
    You're a lord as well, remember?
[04:08] Lumeire
    Hold your head high.
[04:10] Lumeire
    Allow me to introduce the lord of Lamberg
    in my Canarre District, Ars Louvent.
[04:16] Ars
    I-It's a pleasure to meet you.
[04:19] Lord C
    My, what a fine greeting from one so young.
[04:24] Lumeire
    He's coming.
[04:42] Couran
    Arise.
[04:47] Ars
    That man is Lord Couran...
[04:52] Ars
    Wh-What incredible stats!
[04:54] Ars
    They're definitely befitting
    of a ruler of this land.

[04:58] Ars
    I can see why Lord Lumeire
    chose to side with him.
[05:03] Ars
    But... they say his younger brother,
    Vasmarque, is even more impressive...
[05:07] Ars
    Just how amazing must he be?
[05:10] Ars
    It might not be purely about stats.
[05:13] Ars
    There may be some other reason they're
    pushing the younger Lord Vasmarque.
[05:18] Ars
    Could someone be trying
    to undermine Lord Couran?
[05:23] Ars
    If so, there must be a great darkness in play...
[05:27] Couran
    Thank you all for coming
    from your various territories.
[05:31] Couran
    There's something I wish to tell you today.
[05:35] Couran
    The death of my father has plunged
    the province of Missian into great danger.
[05:41] Couran
    The root of that danger is my
    younger brother, Vasmarque,
[05:46] Couran
    who seeks war to overturn the rightful
    heir to the governorship—myself.
[05:52] Couran
    Unfortunately, it's unlikely that Summerforth
     will step in to stave off disaster.
[06:00] Couran
    Its power has waned in its two
    hundred years of existence,
[06:03] Couran
    and it no longer functions
    as an empire should.
[06:08] Couran
    There can be no restoring
    such a degenerate reign.
[06:14] Couran
    It is a universal truth that new eras are
    forged through destruction and rebirth.
[06:20] Couran
    A nation that has become a relic of the past
[06:22] Couran
    must be destroyed and remade anew!
[06:27] Couran
    I intend to defeat Vasmarque,
[06:31] Couran
    unite Missian Province,
[06:33] Couran
    and create the nation of Missian!
[06:36] Ars
    The nation of Missian?
[06:38] Ars
    So... he wants to declare independence?
[06:40] Ars
    I had no idea.
[06:43] Couran
    Win the war and forge a nation...
[06:46] Couran
    Sadly, such things are easier said than done.
[06:50] Couran
    Yet this room is full of talented
    people of whom I can be proud.
[06:55] Couran
    I know that if we work together,
    there is nothing we cannot achieve.
[07:01] Couran
    Will you join me in seizing victory?!
[07:04] Lords
    Yes!
[07:10] Couran
    I'd like to introduce someone who
    recently performed a magnificent deed.
[07:15] Couran
    Lord of Lamberg, Ars Louvent. Step forward.
[07:19] Ars
    M-Me?!
[07:20] Rosell
    Lord Ars!
[07:21] Rietz
    Take the stage!
[07:25] Ars
    I-It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[07:27] Ars
    I am Ars Louvent!
[07:29] Couran
    I am Couran Salamakhia.
[07:32] Couran
    Come stand beside me
    and let everyone see you.
[07:37] Ars
    Yes, my lord!
[07:41] Couran
    In an act of true cowardice,
[07:44] Couran
    Vasmarque created a counterfeit pact
    to bring Perreina District into his fold.
[07:49] Couran
    However, Ars here saw
    through Vasmarque's trick
[07:54] Couran
    and brought Perreina back to us bloodlessly.
[07:59] Lord E
    That child did?
[08:01] Couran
    Age is of no consequence!
[08:03] Couran
    What matters is accomplishments.
[08:07] Couran
    Ars has done more than anyone here.
[08:11] Couran
    I'd like you all to give him
     a round of applause!
[08:22] Ars
    Th-Thank you so much!
[08:31] Rosell
    This is delicious!
[08:33] Rosell
    I wish Charlotte could have had some...
[08:37] Rietz
    I'll bring some to Lord Ars.
[08:40] Rosell
    You're taking that much?
[08:43] Rietz
    He's spent so much time meeting people,
     he hasn't eaten anything.
[08:49] Rietz
    Lord Ars!
[08:50] Rietz
    Perhaps it's time for you to eat?
[08:54] Rietz
    A-Are you all right?
[08:56] Ars
    I'm going to get some fresh air.
[09:07] Ars
    A lord can't just protect his own territory.
[09:10] Ars
    He also has to socialize.
[09:12] Ars
    It's rough.
[09:14] Couran
    What's the matter?
[09:15] Couran
    You look down.
[09:16] Ars
    L-Lord Couran! Wh-What are you doing here?
[09:20] Couran
    I wanted to talk to you, man to man.
[09:22] Ars
    To me?
[09:24] Couran
    I hear you're bringing together talented
    retainers and doing great things.
[09:29] Couran
    I rarely hear Lumeire
    speak so highly of anyone.
[09:33] Couran
    You're a gifted man with a good eye, aren't you?
[09:36] Ars
    No, it's my subordinates
    who are amazing, not me.
[09:41] Couran
    That's exactly why I wanted to ask you this.
[09:44] Couran
    You spoke with my subordinates earlier.
[09:47] Couran
    What did you think of
    the men I'm so proud of?
[09:54] Ars
    I appraised them all earlier...
[09:59] Ars
    To be honest, there was
    no one who caught my eye.
[10:04] Ars
    Wh-What do I say?
[10:08] Ars
    I'm sorry!
[10:10] Ars
    I didn't see anyone particularly talented.
[10:14] Couran
    So you're saying...
[10:18] Couran
    your subordinates are
    more talented than mine?
[10:25] Ars
    I am!
[10:34] Couran
    I like your honesty.
[10:36] Couran
    You're right.
[10:39] Couran
    They're all good men,
    loyal and highly motivated.
[10:43] Couran
    Yet they seem to be lacking
    in the area of raw talent.
[10:48] Couran
    Hearing it from you just confirms it for me.
[10:51] Couran
    Indeed, with these men alone,
    the battle ahead may be hard to win.
[10:56] Ars
    What do you mean?
[10:58] Couran
    The other side has no shortage of clever men.
[11:02] Couran
    We have the stronger military
     and greater funds,
[11:06] Couran
    but that means little in the hands
    of mediocre leaders.
[11:09] Ars
    Th-That's awful...
[11:12] Couran
    That's why I was all the more pleased
    to hear of your recent triumph.
[11:20] Couran
    I'm happy to have a new outstanding talent.
[11:23] Couran
    I've got high hopes for you.
[11:26] Ars
    Y-Yes, my lord...
[11:28] Couran
    If you perform well and
    we win the upcoming war...
[11:33] Couran
    Let me see...
[11:36] Couran
    I'll make you the headman of Canarre.
[11:39] Ars
    Huh? What did you say?
[11:41] Couran
    I'll promote you to Canarre's headman.
[11:45] Couran
    It's only natural you be rewarded
    for your accomplishments.
[11:47] Ars
    M-M-Me? Headman of Canarre?!
[11:52] Ars
    What are you talking about?
    Wh-What about Lord Lumeire?
[11:55] Couran
    I've been planning on giving him
    a larger territory for a while.
[12:00] Couran
    He's one of the few retainers
    I can really put my faith in.
[12:04] Ars
    B-But...
[12:05] Couran
    I'm counting on you, Ars.
[12:08] Ars
    Lord Couran...
[12:13] Couran
    Oh, right.
[12:15] Couran
    Could I have your retainers?
[12:17] Ars
    C-C-Certainly not!
    They're very important to me!
[12:21] Ars
    I can't give them away,
     not even to you, Lord Couran!
[12:24] Couran
    I thought you'd say that.
[12:26] Couran
    Join my next war council, would you?
[12:29] Ars
    War council?
[12:30] Couran
    I want you to be there
    with your subordinates.
[12:33] Couran
    I want to hear your opinions.
[12:36] Couran
    And...
[12:39] Couran
    I want you to use that eye of yours
    to help me find talented people.
[12:44] Couran
    Well, see you later.
[12:50] Ars
    Lord Couran is counting on me?
[12:56] Ars
    I want to live up to his expectations.
[12:59] Ars
    I'm going to work hard!

    It appears someone foiled
    our plot in Perreina.
[13:07] Vasmarque
    Oh?
[13:09] Thomas
    It's a shame we were unable to get Couran's
    forces to wear each other down fighting,

    but it's not a significant loss.

    Even if war erupts now,

    They seem to lack talented commanders
    outside of Lord Couran himself.
[13:34] Thomas
    We also have more officers and infantry,
[13:37] Thomas
    so a loss is highly unlikely.
[13:40] Vasmarque

    By the way, Thomas, where is Mireille now?
[13:57] Thomas
    What? How should I know?!
[14:00] Thomas
    She's probably drunk herself to death by now!
[14:03] Vasmarque
    I'll leave the past in the past.
[14:06] Vasmarque
    I wish to have her on my side.
[14:08] Thomas
    You can't be serious, Lord Vasmarque!
[14:10] Thomas
    To take that wretch as a retainer...
[14:13] Vasmarque
    Her skills are more than adequate.
[14:16] Thomas
    They are, but she's become
    a pathetic drunkard.
[14:21] Thomas
    No noble anywhere would ever hire her!

    We're invited to Couran's war council?
[14:35] Rosell
    Lord Couran, please!
[14:37] Rosell
    Here, a gift from Semplar.
[14:39] Ars
    He apparently wants us to sit
    in on his strategy meetings.
[14:45] Charlotte
    That's pretty awesome.
[14:47] Ars
    He also asked me to find
    talented people for him, but...
[14:52] Ars
    Rietz, do you know of a more
    efficient way to look for talent?
[14:58] Rietz
    Well, we could always ask Shadow...
[15:02] Ars
    You mean Pham?
[15:03] Rietz
    They might have pertinent intelligence.
[15:08] Pham
    Talented people, eh?
[15:10] Pham
    Well, I could probably go looking.
[15:14] Ars
    We'd appreciate it very much!
[15:16] Pham
    What's the penalty if I accidentally
    introduce you to a real loser?
[15:21] Ars
    There's no penalty, of course!
[15:23] Ars
    But if you find someone talented,
    I'll add twenty gold to your price!
[15:27] Pham
    So it's okay if I fail?
[15:29] Pham
    That's a nice, easy job.
[15:31] Ars
    B-But I'd like you to do your
    best to find someone good!
[15:35] Pham
    I'm just kidding.
[15:37] Pham
    I swear I'll only bring you the best.
[15:39] Ars
    Please do!
[15:42] Rietz
    Isn't that nice, Lord Ars?
[15:44] Ars
    Yes!

    Ow, ow, ow...
[15:56] Mireille
    Sorry 'bout that. You okay?
[16:00] Ars
    No, I'm sorry.
[16:02] Rietz
    Bumping into Lord Ars...
[16:05] Rietz
    Utterly unforgivable.
[16:12] Pham
    I'm sorry! We're not open just yet!
[16:17] Mireille
    Oh, I'm not here to eat.
[16:20] Mireille
    I want me a job here, little boy.

    Hey, Mireille!
[16:31] Owner
    What are you doing here?
[16:34] Mireille
    And... who are you again?
[16:36] Pham
    You know each other?
[16:38] Owner
    We saw a lot of each other at the bar
    when I lived out in the sticks.
[16:43] Mireille
    Oh, so we're drinkin' buddies?
[16:44] Mireille
    Give a girl a break, then.
[16:46] Mireille
    I'm kinda homeless and broke right now.
[16:49] Mireille
    Mind if I work here for room and board?
[16:52] Owner
    Yeah, right!
[16:53] Owner
    How many drinks do you already owe me?!
[16:58] Mireille
    Aw, don't be mean.
[17:00] Mireille
    Don't wanna see me drop dead
     in the streets, do ya?
[17:02] Owner
    Just get out now!
[17:04] Pham
    I think it's just fine!

[17:08] Pham
    and I'd love to have more help on the floor!

    The hell are you thinking?

    Hey, that's not what I ordered!
[17:36] Mireille
    Huh? That so?
[17:37] Customer B
    I got the wrong thing, too!
[17:40] Owner
    Don't drink on the job!
[17:44] Mireille
    Boy, what a day!
[17:46] Owner
    You did nothing but screw up!
[17:48] Pham
    Now, now...
[17:49] Mireille
    C'mon, it's my first day.
[17:51] Mireille
    Now, where's my free meal?
    I'm starvin' here.
[17:55] Owner
    You get your free meals after
    you do your job properly!
[17:59] Mireille
    Stingy.
[17:59] Pham
    Owner, I'm also hungry!
[18:02] Owner
    Lynn, don't indulge this slob.
[18:06] Owner
    Fine.
[18:07] Owner
    I'll whip something up.
[18:09] Lynn
    Thanks so much!
[18:14] Pham
    How did you make a living
    before now, Mireille?
[18:19] Mireille
    I'm something of a wanderer.
[18:21] Mireille
    I travel, take odd jobs,
    and look for good booze.
[18:24] Pham
    Really? Then what did you do before that?
[18:28] Mireille
    It's not smart to go prying
    into a lady's past, y'know,
[18:32] Mireille
    little boy.
[18:33] Pham
    You keep calling me "little boy."
[18:36] Pham
    Do I really look like a guy to you?
[18:38] Mireille
    Yeah, for sure.
[18:41] Mireille
    Not that it matters or anything.
[18:44] Mireille
    Ah, well.
[18:46] Mireille
    Since you're such a cute little fella,
     I'll spill a few beans.
[18:51] Mireille
    I've got a real jerk
    for a little brother, y'see?
[18:56] Mireille
    He and I used to serve this old guy together.
[19:00] Mireille
    But I heard recently that
    he kicked the bucket.
[19:05] Mireille
    It's kinda sad.
[19:07] Pham
    What was the man you served like?
[19:10] Mireille
    Kinda absent-minded, but fun to be around.
[19:14] Mireille
    We were poor as heck, but he believed in us.
[19:19] Mireille
    Um...
[19:20] Mireille
    I think his name was Amador Salamakhia.
[19:24] Owner
    Amador Salamakhia was the governor of Missian.
[19:29] Owner
    What a lousy lie.
[19:33] Mireille
    But who wants to stay
    in the same place forever?
[19:37] Mireille
    I always end up getting bored and quitting.
[19:41] Mireille
    I've been a penniless wanderer ever since,
[19:45] Mireille
    but I get to enjoy all kinds
    of local cuisines, so it's fun.
[19:49] Mireille
    Anyway, that's all of my story you get!
[19:52] Pham
    Mireille!
[19:54] Pham
    What would you say if I told you
    I know of an even better job for you?
[20:01] Ars
    What?!
[20:02] Ars
    Pham says he already found a good candidate!
[20:05] Rietz
    It hasn't even been a full day!
[20:07] Ars
    He's going to bring them today...
[20:10] Alice
    Lord Ars.
[20:11] Alice
    You have a visitor inquiring
    about a job with House Louvent.
[20:16] Ars
    They're here!
[20:18] Rosell
    Just a day later?
    This seems a little too fast...
[20:22] Charlotte
    You can't find a great talent that quick.
[20:25] Ars
    Let's just meet them and see.
[20:33] Pham
    Hello there!
[20:34] Pham
    This is who I wanted you to meet!
[20:40] Mireille
    Heya!
[20:41] Ars
    Haven't I seen her somewhere?
[20:45] Ars
    The lady from yesterday!
[20:47] Pham
    You know her?
[20:49] Ars
    We bumped into each other in town!
[20:55] Mireille
    Sorry, I don't remember you at all!
[20:57] Rosell
    She's drunk!
[20:59] Rietz
    You're drinking again?
[21:04] Rietz
    You're not just foisting a
    troublemaker on us, are you?
[21:07] Pham
    Nah.
[21:09] Pham
    I think she's entirely on your level.
[21:14] Mireille
    Hey, so you're the lord of Lamberg?
[21:16] Ars
    Yes, I'm Ars Louvent.
[21:18] Mireille
    I was wondering what you'd be like!
[21:21] Mireille
    So you're just a little guy, huh?
[21:23] Ars
    I'm sorry to disappoint.
[21:25] Mireille
    Nah, it's totally cool if you're a kid.
[21:28] Mireille
    Seems like a pretty fun household, even.
[21:31] Mireille
    Well? You wanna hire me?
[21:35] Ars
    What's your name?
[21:36] Mireille
    Mireille.
[21:38] Ars
    Even if Pham brought her here,
    could she possibly be...
[21:42] Ars
    Let's check her out first.

[23:28] Ars
    What do I do, Rosell?!
[23:29] Rosell
    No, absolutely not! We can't hire her!
[23:32] Ars
    Why not?
[23:33] Rosell
    I don't want another intimidating
    woman around here!
[23:36] Ars
    That's your reasoning?!

    Next Time Mireille Grangeon

    Next time: "Mireille Grangeon."
