[00:00] Luiphon
    I am Luiphon Sandhalkia Diltz,
[00:03] Luiphon
    third prince of this land
    and captain of the knights.
[00:06] Luiphon
    But perhaps most of all...
[00:09] Luiphon
    I am dear Kyros' friend!
[00:12] Luiphon
    Pleased to meet you, sweet Marie!
[00:14] Marie; internal
    S-So this is the sort of person he is.
SIGN    Episode 5 "The Prince and the Pitch-Black Warrior"
[01:52] Mio
    You took so long to arrive, Prince Luiphon,
[01:55] Mio
    so I was just going to leave with Lady Marie.
[01:57] Luiphon
    I said I was sorry, didn't I? You
    can be heartless, darling Mio.
[02:01] Mio
    Please don't call me "darling."
[02:03] Marie
    Mio.
[02:04] Luiphon
    By the way...
[02:05] Luiphon
    are you hungry?
[02:07] Luiphon
    How does a lavish buffet in
    the nobles' salon sound?
[02:10] Marie
    Nobles...
[02:12] Marie
    I-I'm not very hungry.
[02:15] Luiphon
    Oh, Ilza and Hannah aren't
    here anymore. Don't worry.
[02:19] Luiphon
    I'm sorry for recommending them without
    knowing their personalities.
[02:23] Marie
    No, it isn't that.
[02:25] Marie
    The thought of a place as refined
    as a salon makes me anxious.
[02:30] Luiphon
    In that case, what about the
    swordsmanship exhibition?
[02:33] Luiphon
    I have reserved seats. Let's go and watch!
[02:35] Marie
    S-Swordsmanship?
[02:37] Luiphon
    That's right!
[02:38] Marie
    I, um, well...
[02:43] Mio
    Lady Marie, there's no
    need to force yourself.
[02:45] Mio
    You hate competitions, don't you?
[02:47] Luiphon
    What?! But why?
[02:50] Luiphon
    This is one of the best aristocratic pastimes!
[02:52] Marie
    Yes, please, I'd love to see it!
[02:54] Luiphon
    Now that's the reaction I was hoping for!
[02:56] Luiphon
    I can best any knight with a sword, you know?
[02:59] Luiphon
    Kyros once complimented me by saying, "the
    sword is the only place where you show genius."
[03:04] Marie
    Then Lord Kyros truly is strong?
[03:07] Luiphon
    He is indeed!
[03:09] Marie; internal
    Being complimented by Lord Kyros
    made you happy, didn't it?
[03:16] referee
    We will now begin the semi-finals of the
    Diltz Kingdom Swordsmanship Exhibition!
[03:23] Luiphon
    This enthusiasm is wonderful, isn't it?
[03:26] Luiphon
    Last year, I fell asleep during the concert.
[03:28] Luiphon
    And dear Kyros kept pinching my cheeks.
[03:31] Marie
    Prince Luiphon really loves
    Lord Kyros, doesn't he?
[03:34] Marie
    I'm having fun just listening to him.
[03:36] Mio
    Well, it's enjoyable to discuss
     your passions with others.
[03:40] Mio
    Now then.
[03:42] Mio
    I'm off to procure some food.
[03:44] Marie
    What? But we just ate.
[03:46] Mio
    I wanted to visit all the stalls.
[03:48] Luiphon
    Your stomach is a separate
     dimension, as always.
[03:50] Luiphon
    Go and eat as much as you like.
[04:00] Luiphon
    That fighter in the dark armor
    is an impressive warrior.
[04:03] Marie
    I see.
[04:05] Luiphon
    Say, are you like this with Kyros, too?
[04:09] Marie
    What?
[04:11] Marie
    Well...
[04:12] Luiphon
    Well, you're rather
    different from the others.
[04:16] Luiphon
    And I've known Kyros a long time.
[04:18] Marie
    I heard that the two of you were
    in the same year in school.
[04:22] Luiphon
    Yes, and the first time we
    met we got into a fistfight!
[04:25] Marie
    What?!
[04:26] Luiphon
    As the duke's son, he was just below me in terms of rank at school.
[04:31] Luiphon
    But he said, "Stop judging people based
    on their rank, you moronic prince."
[04:36] Marie
    M-Moronic?
[04:37] Luiphon
    I thought, "What's his problem?" and
    punched him. Then he punched me back.
[04:42] Luiphon
    It turned into quite the commotion.
[04:47] Marie
    Does it really warrant that much laughter?
[04:54] referee
    Winner, the pitch-black warrior!
[04:57] Marie
    Oh, is it already over?
[05:00] Luiphon
    Yes. By knocking the point of
    the blue knight's sword away,
[05:03] Luiphon
    the dark warrior was able to
    win with a single strike.
[05:05] Luiphon
    By the look of things, he was holding back.
[05:07] Luiphon
    It seems he has the kindness
    to care for his opponents.
[05:13] Luiphon
    My sweet Marie...
[05:15] Luiphon
    doesn't seeing this sort of thing
    make you think they're dashing?
[05:18] Luiphon
    Many girls squeal with delight, you know?
[05:21] Marie
    I-I...
[05:23] Marie
    I don't find being strong in battle
    to be particularly wonderful.
[05:27] Luiphon
    Aren't strength and reliability the
    things that are most attractive in men?
[05:31] Marie
    To be honest, I'm frightened.
[05:33] Marie
    I feel like one day that
    sword will be pointed at me.
[05:36] Luiphon
    What's that supposed to
    mean? You're so negative!
[05:40] Marie
    I'm sorry.
[05:42] Luiphon
    Say, Lady Marie Shaderan, why
    did you become Kyros' fiancée?
[05:48] Marie
    B-Because...
[05:50] Marie; internal
    I'm my older sister's replacement.
[05:52] Marie; internal
    Yes, I am just a replacement.
[05:54] referee
    And now, we will begin
    the championship bout!
[05:58] referee
    The dark warrior versus the green knight!
[06:01] referee
    Begin!
[06:12] referee
    Th-The winner... the dark warrior!
[06:16] Luiphon
    Well, that was an instant defeat.
[06:18] referee
    Congratulations! This is the winner's tro—
[06:23] Marie; internal
    He's putting his worry
    for his opponent first?
[06:26] Marie
    If he's the one fighting, then perhaps even
    I might enjoy watching his bouts a little.
[06:32] Mio
    My, that is good news.
[06:35] Marie
    W-Welcome back.
SIGN    Spoils of War
[06:37] Mio
    I have only just returned.
[06:43] Marie
    You mentioned good news?
[06:44] Mio
    That dark warrior is the master.
[06:47] Marie
    What?
[06:49] Luiphon
    You seem very certain.
[06:51] Mio
    His swordsmanship and footwork
     are exactly identical to the master's.
[06:56] Marie
    Lord Kyros... is the dark warrior?
[07:01] Mio
    Shall we see for certain?
[07:06] Mio
    Count Kyros Granado, you're so dashing!
[07:09] Mio
    Look this way!
[07:13] crowd
    Kyros?
[07:14] crowd
    Count?
[07:15] crowd
    From the Granado Company?
[07:17] crowd
    Really?
[07:18] crowd
    Lord Kyros! Look over here!
[07:20] crowd
    Take off your helmet!
[07:34] Mio
    Every male noble in the Kingdom of Diltz
    is made to hold the sword at least once.
[07:38] Mio
    The master has trained intensively
    since he was a child for self-defense.
[07:42] Marie
    H-He has?
[07:45] Luiphon
    That was the best expression
     I've seen today, thanks.
[07:47] Marie; internal
    Prince Luiphon knew from
    the start, didn't he?
[08:01] Marie
    E-Excuse me. What is this line for?
[08:04] lady A
    What? It's the line to make an
    appeal to the count of course.
[08:07] Marie
    What?
[08:08] lady A
    His fiancée apparently died in an accident.
    This is a chance to get close to him!
[08:12] Marie; internal
    Of course. No one would think that her
    incompetent younger sister would replace her.
[08:19] lady A
    He may have barbarian blood in him,
    but he is the next duke after all.
[08:22] lady B
    Indeed! And whomever becomes the duke's wife
    can certainly stand proudly in society.
[08:27] lady A
    I've heard he's got a difficult
    personality, but he's so handsome.
[08:31] lady B; background
    Isn't he?
[08:31] Marie; internal
    Barbarian?
[08:34] Marie; internal
    Difficult?
[08:36] Marie; internal
    Who are they talking about?
[08:39] Mio
    Lady Marie?
[08:43] Marie
    Excuse me.
[08:44] lady A
    Wh-What?
[08:47] lady B
    Stop right there!
[08:48] lady B
    Just who are you?
[08:49] lady A
    Indeed! Who do you think you are?
[08:51] Marie
    I am betroth— I am an
    associate of the count's!
[08:56] Lady A; B
    What?
[08:57] Mio
    Lady Marie, I will hold
    them here to the last!
[09:00] Marie
    Thank you, Mio!
[09:02] ladies
    Get out of my way! Who are you?
[09:06] Marie; internal
    What was that? They all just
    said whatever they liked.
[09:09] Marie; internal
    All I did was discover something I liked...
[09:12] Marie; internal
    and he's so kind that he
    smiled at me so happily.
[09:15] Marie; internal
    There's no reason
    to ridicule him like that!
[09:18] Marie; internal
    Even if there were...
[09:21] Marie; internal
    it would only be for drawing
    a losing prospect.
[09:25] Kyros
    What are you thinking?
[09:28] Kyros
    Why did you tell me to enter
    the swordsmanship competition?
[09:32] Luiphon
    You did excellent work! Thanks to
    you, it was a rousing success!
[09:36] Kyros
    That smile is infuriating.
[09:38] Kyros
    Was it you who exposed my
    identity to the crowd?
[09:42] Marie
    C-Congratulations on your win!
[09:48] Kyros
    I've finally begun hallucinating.
[09:50] Marie
    U-Um...
[09:51] Kyros
    Are you the real Marie?! In the flesh?
[09:54] Kyros
    The one who's like a living miracle?!
[09:55] Marie
    Lord Kyros?
[09:57] Luiphon
    I invited her.
[09:59] Kyros
    What?!
[10:00] Luiphon
    I wanted to show her how
    dashing you are, Kyros.
[10:04] Luiphon
    Though, it seems she wasn't
    particularly pleased by it.
[10:09] Kyros
    Marie doesn't like brutality.
[10:12] Luiphon
    Or aristocratic things either.
[10:14] Kyros
    That's right. And I don't want to
    force anyone else's values on her.
[10:17] Kyros
    Marie's wishes are my only priority.
[10:19] Luiphon
    Well. You certainly seem quite besotted...
[10:23] Luiphon
    but she doesn't seem happy about it.
[10:26] Luiphon
    She's simply replacing her older sister
    in a political marriage, isn't she?
[10:32] Luiphon
    You'd have gotten engaged no matter what
    kind of man you faced. Isn't that right?
[10:38] Marie
    I...
[10:40] Marie; internal
    It's true that when I was first
    taken to Granado Castle...
[10:44] Marie; internal
    I didn't even know what
    Lord Kyros looked like.
[10:47] Marie; internal
    But...
[10:49] Luiphon
    As I thought, you don't think anything
    of Kyros, let alone love him.
[10:53] Kyros
    Stop attacking her. What
    are you so upset about?
[10:55] Luiphon
    When I heard that you were getting
    engaged, I was overjoyed.
[10:59] Luiphon
    My dear, obstinate friend, who had turned away
    every noblewoman, had finally found his spring.
[11:06] Luiphon
    But in the end...
[11:09] Luiphon
    A political marriage?
[11:11] Luiphon
    And to a woman who is uneasy with
    the customs of the nobility,
[11:14] Luiphon
    who sees no merit in your efforts, Kyros?
[11:17] Luiphon
    She's her parents' pawn and—
[11:18] Kyros
    What is the meaning of this?! Did you
    invite Marie here just to disparage her?
[11:22] Luiphon
    Not at all. I'm also laughing
    at your pathetic state.
[11:25] Luiphon
    Coward. The old you would have punched me.
[11:29] Kyros
    Marie is here!
[11:30] Kyros
    And even the old me never
    threw the first punch!
[11:33] Luiphon
    You're just afraid of me. After all, you've
    never once beaten me in a sword fight,
[11:38] Luiphon
    you coward!
[11:41] Kyros
    You never noticed that I was
    letting you have the glory,
[11:44] Kyros
    your highness?
[11:59] Luiphon
    Earlier, the arena was engulfed in cheers.
    This time, let's stain it with screams.
[12:06] Kyros
    Mark my words, I will make you
    apologize for insulting Marie.
[12:14] Marie
    Wait, please!
[12:15] Marie
    Please mend things with him!
    What Prince Luiphon said is true!
[12:19] Marie
    I can't blame anyone for saying
    that I've sold myself.
[12:22] Marie
    I am foolish and timid, and I've always
    done as my parents have told me.
[12:27] Marie
    But more than any of those things...
[12:29] Marie
    it's people ridiculing you because
    of me that I cannot bear!
[12:34] Marie
    I'm sorry, I... I only
    ever cause you trouble.
[12:41] Kyros
    He only ridicules me out of
    pity for my one-sided love.
[12:48] Kyros
    I'm sure that he can't stand
     seeing his rival brought so low.
[12:53] Kyros
    Despite how he seems, he's a passionate man.
[12:57] Kyros
    But... whatever his reasons, it doesn't
    mean he's allowed to disparage you, Marie.
[13:02] Kyros
    I will face him head on, defeat him,
    and make him take it all back!
[13:07] Marie
    Thank you for being angry on my behalf.
[13:10] Marie
    But it's all right. I will
    regain my honor myself!
[13:14] Marie
    More importantly for Prince Luiphon...
[13:18] Marie
    Lord Kyros, it's the fact that he called
    you a coward that I want him to correct.
[13:22] Marie
    I found myself infuriated too.
[13:24] Kyros
    Very well. Then, as one going into battle,
    I ask for you to bestow a good luck kiss.
[13:29] Marie
    What?
[13:30] Kyros
    Just a jest.
[13:35] Kyros
    And now, I'll go pummel my
    best friend into the ground.
[13:38] Marie
    R-Right.
[13:43] referee
    And now...
[13:45] referee
    we have the winner of the swordsmanship
    contest, Count Kyros Granado,
[13:48] referee
    and the third prince of the Kingdom
    of Diltz, the captain of the knights,
[13:51] referee
    his highness, Luiphon Sandhalkia Diltz,
    in a special exhibition match!
[13:55] Marie; internal
    You can do this, Lord Kyros.
[13:59] Kyros
    Luiphon, put on your helmet.
    You'll get gravely injured.
[14:02] Luiphon
    And you, dear Kyros.
[14:03] Luiphon
    If that noble nose of yours gets plucked
    off, sweet Marie might finally hate you.
[14:07] Luiphon
    Put your helmet on.
[14:13] referee
    Th-Then...
[14:16] referee
    Begin!
[14:28] Luiphon
    It seems your skills haven't declined!
[14:32] Kyros
    Neither have yours!
[14:39] Mio
    They seem equally matched
    in strength, but...
[14:43] Luiphon
    I have you!
[14:50] Marie
    Lord Kyros, don't let him beat you!
[15:00] Luiphon
    That's an interesting move to make!
[15:04] Marie
    What? Is that allowed?!
[15:06] Mio
    Definitely not.
[15:25] referee
    Winner! Count Kyros Granado!
[15:28] Marie
    Y-You did it! Lord Kyros!
SIGN    SILENCE...
[15:39] child 1
    That fight was amazing!
    I guess fists are good too.
[15:41] child 2
    He was amazing!
[15:44] Kyros
    Marie!
[15:48] Kyros
    Come down here!
[15:58] Marie
    D-Did you require something of me?
[16:04] Marie
    Th-This is so high up!
[16:06] Kyros
    Don't worry, Marie.
[16:08] Marie
    Lord Kyros.
[16:12] Kyros
    I will take this moment
    to make an announcement!
[16:15] Kyros
    I, Kyros Granado, and Lady Marie Shaderan,
    a baron's daughter, are betrothed!
[16:21] Marie
    What?
[16:23] Kyros
    Together, Lady Marie and I will
    serve this kingdom to our utmost.
[16:28] Kyros
    I swear it on the Granado name!
[16:30] woman
    Betrothed? Lord Kyros?
[16:32] man
    Who is Baron Shaderan?
[16:37] Kyros
    Marie.
[16:38] Kyros
    Everyone wants to see your face.
[16:41] Marie
    B-But...
[16:43] Marie; internal
    Everyone is expecting a beauty
    the equal of Lord Kyros.
[16:47] Marie; internal
    Someone like me will only embarrass him.
[16:51] Marie; internal
    I'm scared.
[16:58] Kyros
    It's all right. You are a far more
    wonderful woman than you know.
[17:03] Kyros
    And no matter what happens, I
    will always be by your side.
[17:06] Kyros
    You are beautiful!
[17:08] Marie; internal
    There are so many things
    that frighten me...
[17:13] Marie; internal
    but if you will be here with me,
    then perhaps I can overcome them.
[17:17] crowd
    Nice work! Congratulations!
[17:19] crowd
    How lovely!
[17:21] crowd
    Granado! Granado!
[17:36] Marie
    Excuse me.
[17:38] stall owner
    Oh, you're the one from this afternoon!
[17:40] stall owner
    Sorry that I couldn't stop the
    prince's awful pranks.
[17:43] Marie
    Not at all. Please don't worry.
    More importantly...
[17:46] Marie
    I'd love to join the peeling contest this time!
[17:49] stall owner
    You sure are an odd one!
[17:51] stall owner
    Here you are.
[17:53] Marie
    Thank you. I can't wait to test my skill.
[17:56] Marie
    What?
[17:57] Kyros
    This seems like fun.
[17:59] Marie
    Lord Kyros?
[18:00] Kyros
    May I try this with you?
[18:01] Marie
    Y-Yes.
[18:10] Marie
    You're very good.
[18:11] Kyros
    I have to camp out for work sometimes.
[18:14] Marie
    How is Prince Luiphon?
[18:16] Luiphon
    In the prime of health.
[18:22] Kyros
    That's your fault, Luiphon. You do one, too.
[18:24] Luiphon
    What?! Why do I have to?
[18:26] Kyros
    Here.
[18:28] Kyros
    Marie, are there any tricks to it?
[18:30] Marie
    Y-Yes!
[18:31] Marie
    First, you face the stem downwards,
    then you rotate it sideways.
[18:37] Kyros
    You're really good at this!
[18:40] Marie
    Yes, I'm quite good at peeling things.
[18:42] Marie
    After all, my life depended on leaving
    as much of the edible parts as possible.
[18:46] Kyros
    You're tougher than you seem. And
    I love that part of you too!
[18:50] Marie
    Not really.
[18:52] Luiphon
    The woman doesn't even like you.
[18:54] Luiphon
    Is it fun being a clown who's
    racing around, going nowhere?
[18:57] Kyros
    Yes, it's fun.
[18:59] Kyros
    Just having Marie with me makes
    every day seem to sparkle.
[19:03] Kyros
    Even if she doesn't love me, when I think
    that tomorrow we may grow a little closer,
[19:10] Kyros
    it's so much fun I can't stand it.
[19:13] Kyros
    The day that we become a true married couple
    may be years, or decades, in the future,
[19:20] Kyros
    but I'm certain that I will have fun
    showering Marie with love until I die.
[19:25] Marie
    Lord Kyros.
[19:27] Luiphon
    To be frank, that doesn't make you
     the least bit dashing, dear Kyros.
[19:30] Kyros
    I know.
[19:32] Luiphon
    Well, as long as you're satisfied...
[19:35] Luiphon
    then just do as you like.
[19:37] Marie
    E-Excuse me!
[19:40] Marie
    I want to know all about
    Lord Kyros' good qualities!
[19:43] Luiphon
    What?
[19:44] Marie
    And so...
[19:46] Marie
    I hope you'll tell me lots
    of stories again sometime!
[19:51] Marie; internal
    I understand now, Your Highness.
[19:54] Marie; internal
    You just wanted to talk about your
    beloved best friend's best qualities.
[19:58] Marie; internal
    That's why you invited me.
[20:03] Luiphon
    I'm sorry about before.
[20:08] Luiphon
    What is this?!
    It's made for display, isn't it?
[20:11] Kyros
    You should've noticed when you touched it!
[20:13] Luiphon
    Blast you! I am the third prince and
    captain of our renowned knights!
[20:18] Luiphon
    One day I will have you both, husband and
    wife, dragged off for insulting royalty!
[20:23] Luiphon; background
    I am so angry right now! Don't you
    understand what lèse-majesté is?
[20:25] Marie
    Prince Luiphon is amusing, isn't he?
[20:28] Kyros
    Yes. You'd never get tired of him, right?
[20:34] Mio
    Lady Marie, I have a message to deliver
    to the master, so I will be staying here.
[20:39] Mio
    His valet Wolfgang will
    accompany you in my stead.
[20:43] Wolfgang
    Pleased to be of service, my lady.
[20:46] Marie
    I see.
[20:47] Kyros
    Thank you for today, Marie.
[20:50] Marie
    No, thank you, Lord Kyros, for letting
    me see such a dashing side of you.
[20:56] Kyros
    The truth is, I'd never beaten
    Luiphon in a sword bout before.
[21:02] Marie
    Lord Kyros, you are a truly strong person.
[21:05] Kyros
    That's because you're with me, Marie.
[21:09] Kyros
    Whatever you may wish, I will devote all
    of myself to make that wish come true.
[21:15] Kyros
    Because everything I am
    now is thanks to you.
[21:19] Kyros
    I'll see you back at the castle, Marie.
[21:21] Marie
    Yes.
[21:36] Marie
    Good night!
[21:39] Marie
    Coachman, please go now!
[21:43] Kyros
    Marie! Wait, just now, you...
[21:47] Kyros
    Please, wait!
[21:50] Marie; internal
    In just two months from now...
[21:52] Marie; internal
    I will marry the person my
    sister was betrothed to.
[21:56] Marie; internal
    It's a political marriage, but one
    day, like a couple bound by love,
[22:02] Marie; internal
    I hope we'll find happiness.
[22:04] Marie; internal
    The two of us, together.
[22:10] Kyros
    This does truly appear to be a
    letter from the House of Shaderan.
[22:14] Mio
    Yes. The handwriting is correct as well.
[22:17] Kyros
    Mio...
[22:19] Kyros
    Are Baron Shaderan and his wife
    really Marie's birth parents?
[23:58] Toppo
    Toppo's cooking is the best in the world!
[24:01] Toppo
    And I'll ply my skills again today!
[24:04] Toppo
    My lady is in the midst of working hard
    in preparation for the wedding ceremony.
[24:09] Toppo
    Let Toppo's sublime sweets
    soothe your heart and body!
[24:14] Toppo
    Next time...
[24:16] Toppo

SIGN    Episode 6 "Am I Enough As I Am?"
[24:19] Toppo
    You'd like a second serving?
[24:20] Toppo
    It would be my pleasure!
